Element of reality

Each year approximately 230 freshmen arrive on campus
full of excitement and expectations. The freshman year is
one of the most exciting years as well as one of the hardest.
Coming to college offers to many a fresh start with new
opprotunities and new friends.

Thinking of this new situation many freshmen come up
with great expectations of wild frat parties, constant
dating, a report card of A's and B's, and visions of being
president of the class. Consequently about a month after
classes have begun we often get the "freshmen dumps"
when alas - you made a D on your chemistry test, you
don't have a date for the weekend and you feel your whole
life is ruined. Tragic is the day when freshmen discover
they really do need to go to the library some Saturdays.

Yet things brighten up. So you have to study more than
you thought you would and sometimes you don't have a
date, but then again lots of times you do. And there are a
lot of wild frat parties. Once a level of realism has been
reached the freshman is okay.

The freshmen who seem to adjust the best to college life
at Scott and seem the happiest are those who get involved
in college life. You might not be able to get involved in as
many different aspects as you did in high school but find
one or two activities you really enjoy and dig in. The
newspaper, drama group, Athletic Association, etc. wil all
welcome you.

Let's stop the "freshmen dumps" from the very
beginning this year. Be excited, enthusiastic and realistic -
from the beginning. Get involved in your college. Agnes
Scott and your life here will be what YOU help to make it.

Changing times

The generation gap is a difficult area to bridge whether
betweenparent and child or even freshman and senior.

Of course each successive generation of students faces a
different external situation. In 1967 freshmen entered the
college world with knees staring forth from thigh-length
skirts. Angles in 1970 will soon be peeking from calf-length
midis. This, of course, is not a really alarming difference
unless, perhaps, it can be made analogous to the different
situations facing each group of freshmen.

The 1967 group knew a blaring college world - one in
which their big proglrm was whether to drink or not to
drink. Our 1970 frosh face a quieter, more subtle workd,
but in many ways more frightening. Their major problem
will be not the "shot" but the needle, not the drink but the
dope, not the "grasshopper" but the grass.

However, these different problems don't really explain
the so-called generation gap. In fact they only widen the
already present difference between the freshman and the
senior.

Freshmen seem enthusiastic in comparison to most
upperclassmen. They are participating in a learning
experience which is new to them. The seniors are one set of
their teachers. Although the seniors, too, are learning, they
have come to expect anything, but are still surprised by
everything.

The frosh give new life to a college campus. The seniors
take life from the campus. One balances the other. Many
seniors find it difficult to know the freshmen, but the
imoact one has on the other is alwavs present.

Open letter to freshmen

"My charge to you is that you
delve ever more deeply into life."
This was the charge delivered at
the eighty-first commencement
service on June 7, 1970, by Dr.
Wallace Alston, the President of
Agnes Scott College. Spoken in
the sincere manner which is so
characteristic of Dr. Alston, these
words thrilled my heart, making
it possible for me to again
contemplate the wonderful, yet
often difficult task which a
young woman has chosen for
herself upon entering Agnes
Scott.

To delve deeply into all aspects
of life; the academic, the social,
and the spiritual; is not at all an
easy thing to do, yet it is an art
which we as Scotties are
encouraged to master from the
time that we enter as freshmen. It
is the challenge of mastering this
art to which I welcome you and
which I sincerely hope will enable
you to become a happier and
more challenged person during
your years at Agnes Scott as well
as those which follow.

At Agnes Scott, we are
uniquely blessed with numerous
opportunities for exploring the
familiar as well as the unfamiliar
with the same depth, which Dr.
Alston advocated in his charge.
This will be a new experience for
many of you, yet it will be one
which can prove to be extremely
meaningful.

Many of the courses which you
will be required to take will
appear strange and often
impossible. Yet these very
courses have been known to open
shut doors, leading to unexpected
careers and experiences. Though
certain difficulties with regard to
academic work load are to be
expected and are always carefully
dealt with, many students have
discovered the true joy of
learning by approaching each new
course with determination and
enthusiasm. As an alumna friend

said to me in a letter just prior to
my freshman year at Agnes
Scott: "You will doubtless
encounter rough spots, as we all
must; but you will overcome
them."

The social experiences which
one has while at Agnes Scott are
often among her most cherished
memories. The college
community is one which we hope
that you will find to be of
atmosphere of genuine
friendliness and concern for
others. Honor is a way of life in
this community, making all
phases of life at Agnes Scott
conducive for study as well as for
fellowship and recreation.

In addition to exchanging ideas
in the classroom situation, many
students and professors work
together outside of class in
community projects or in
activities directly affecting the
college. We at Agnes Scott believe
in good times as well as in the
opportunities which
extracurricular activities provide,
for we feel that they can enrich
college life immensely.

One's spiritual life is an aspect
of his life for which specific
words cannot be supplied or
specific recommendations made.
If you are presently attempting
to grow in a particular faith,
however, do not allow your
coming to college to stifle it.
Many have found that their faith
has become stronger through the
fellowship which they have
experienced while participating in
the college community.

And so, to you who are about
to become Scotties, I offer you a
cordial welcome to the Agnes
Scott community and look
forward to getting to know you
in September.

S incerely ,

by BETHEDA FklES
Chairman of
Committee onCommunitv Affairs

^ The 1970-71 Rep Council
"gave birth" to a new committee,
the Committee on Community
Affairs, last spring quarter.

The purpose of this committee
is to inform and educate the
campus on activities being
sponsored in the Atlanta
community. Activities include
student conventions, fund-drives,
community renovation projects,
lectures pertaining to community
and urban problems and
subsequent projects.

Opportunities for involvement
are varied. Spring quarter of last
year 1 1 Scott students
participated in a Scottdale
community clean-up day
sponsored by the C&S Bank.
(Scottdale is a black low-income
housing development.) Scott
students worked hard and were
recognized for their splendid job
and enthusiam with a $300 check
from the bank. At present a way
is being sought to put the money
into the Scottdale community.

The Committee on Community
Affairs is young and has many
possibilities. Its members hope
not only to keep well-informed
on happenings in the Atlanta area
but also to repay the Atlanta area
for the many benefits that Scott
students receive.

The actual potential for this
new committee is still in a testing
period. The structure of the
committee consists of an
executive board of 14 students
who seek out worthwhile projects
and areas of interest and
importance in the greater Atlanta
area. A larger body of the
committee consists of interested
students. There are no dues and
few meetings.

The committee will function as
long as there is demand and
participation. Most of the
colleges and universities in
Atlanta have similar programs
and it is hoped that we will be
able to cooperate with them on
some of the larger projects. Much
of the success Scott will have in
this role will depend on the
enthusiasm of the freshmen class.
It will be up to you to "get
involved" upon your arrival on
campus.

Orientation

Orientation will be a busy time
for freshmen. If you think time
will drag until classes start you
have another thoughi coming.
Freshmen Orientation officially
starts from the moment freshmen
arrive at Scott and continues
through October 16th, the day of
Black Cat. The first two weeks,
however, will be the busiest.

The chairman of Orientation
Council, Mrs. Dale Rudolph, and
her group have been busy
planning interesting things for
you to do.

You will receive an orientaton
calendar upon your arrival on
campus. Among the opening
activities will be a Social Council
Open House in the Hub Thursday
afternoon when most freshmen
will be arriving. Before starting
the tremendous job of unpacking
you might want to stop by the
Hub and refresh yourself with
food and drink. This will be a
good opportunity for freshmen
and parents to mingle. You might
even bump into your roommate.
Later in the week Social Council
will sponsor a fashion show.

The Athletic Association (AA)
and Arts Council have planned a
bus tour of Atlanta. This is quite
helpful to those not familiar with
Atlanta. Mortor Board hopes to
supplement this orientation to

ASC stops
polluting air

During the p ast year
nation-wide emphasis has been
placed on pollution. Agnes Scott
has not been untouched by this
issue. To help alleviate the
problem of air pollution in
Decatur, Agnes Scott has
rennovated the steam plant.

The plnat has been completely
modernized. The coal-burners,
which caused a tremendous
amount of black smoke to billow
forth from the plant periodically,
have been replaced by gas-fired
boilers.

This contribution to further
the efforts for cleaner air cost the
college $207,000.

Atlanta with a slide show.

You will also have an
opportunity to attend a Liberal
Arts orientation. Mrs. Linda
Woods, assistant professor of
English, and a study panel of
students representing the
different major departments will
talk about a liberal arts
education.

A dramatic reading of
selections from the orientation
books, "The Immense Journey"
and "The Population Bomb" will
be presented by the Black-friars
drama group. A panel of faculty
and students will lead a
discussion of the two books
following the dramatic reading.

Freshmen will also have an
opportunity to meet males. Tech
freshmen don't arrive until Sept.
20th but soon after their arrival
there will be joint informal dance
between Tech and Scott
freshmen at the new Tech
Student Center. Freshmen will
also have an opportunity to meet
older Tech students at rush
parties. Emory University, is even
closer to Scott. Though Emory
males have their own coeds quite
a few of them make their way to
Agnes Scott.

Orientation officially ends with
Black Cat. Black Cat is a little
hard to describe and sounds a
little peculiar to outsiders, but it
is a day of great fun on the Agnes
Scott campus. Each class has a
mascot. The senior mascot is
Jimminy Cricket, the junior's
Huck Finn and the sophomore's,
Daisy Mae. The freshman class
color is red and it will be up to
your class to think of a mascot
which will fit in with this color.

One of the best parts of Black
Cat is the pi oduction-usually a
musical comedy. This is written,
directed, and acted out by
students. An informal dance ends
the day's activities. All in all
Black Cat is a lot of fun and an
appropriate end to orientation.

Other activities are also
planned which you will want to
attend. The first few weeks will
be quite busy but you will have a
little time to get last minute
shopping done,

Four years ago-

what you missed

Editor's Note: Uppcrclassnwn
and grac/nuting seniors have often
grunted that lowerc/assmen and
incoming freshmen have no
appreeiation for ehanges seniors
have worked for during their four
years at Seott. Seniors often joke
that by the time their desired
changes have been passed it is too
late for them to enjoy. As one
senior expressed it, ''We find
ourselves increasingly working for
the benefit of our predecessors. "
The purpose of this article is to
show you, freshmen, the great
change that have been made in
social regulations so that you
may not only have a few chuckles
over old rules the seniors endured
when they were freshmen, but
also in order that you may
appreciate your freedom and
responsibility.

Many changes in social
regulations have been made since
the seniors were freshmen.
Thinking back it is hard to
imagine such rules. For example,
freshmen were allowed only three
social engagements per week and
had to be in by 11:45 Sunday
through Thursday, 12:30 on
Friday nights and 1:00 a.m. on
Saturday nights. Freshmen
curfews are now midnight during
the week and 2:00 a.m. on the
weekend. For the first time
upperclassmen and spring quarter
freshmen will be able to stay out
past dorm closing hours. That
such a step as this would ever be

passed was totally inconceivable
when the seniors were freshmen.
Their biggest sought for change
was to extend the 12:30 Friday
curfew to 1 :00!

When the seniors were
freshmen there was an elaborate
process for dates on campus.
When a student had a boy visit
her on campus she had to walk
over the the Dean's Office (D.O.)
and register him in the campus
date book when he arrived and
again when he left. Dates often
found this book amusing and
were at times able to glance
through the book to check up on
various competitors.

Another ordeal freshmen once
had to go through was signing
out. We now simply fill out our
cards and turn them on "out,"
but there once was a time when
students signed out on slips.
White slips were used when the
student expected to return before
sunset-Afternoon Time Limit.
When the student wished to sign
out for the evening she used a
pink slip. Freshmen had to have
their slips approved in the Dean's
Office.

One amusing policy was the
dress policy. Students were not
to leave the campus with rolled
up hair. It was not considered
appropriate to walk on campus
barefoot. Short shorts were
never acceptable. Sports attire -
bermuda shorts and slacks - could

only be worn on dates provided
one did not get out of the car or
at off-campus occasions requiring
such attire.

A big change has been made
regarding the smoking policy. For
the first time this year students
will be able to smoke in their
rooms. We will also be able to
smoke in the upper as well as the
lower dining hall.

There have also been changes
regarding the use of alcoholic
beverages. When the seniors were
freshmen all students, 21 or not,
were prohibited from using
alcoholic beverages on any
college campus - ie. at frat
parties. This policy has now been
dropped for a more liberal one
which requires that students be
responsible for their conduct at
all times. Use or possession of
alcohol on campus is still not
permitted. There has also been an
addition to social regulations
which the concerns the use of
drugs. This policy should be
reviewed carefully in the
handbook by all students.

The changes noted above are
just a few but they give some
notion of the many procedures
freshmen once had to go through.
The changes made required much
effort and cooperation on the
part of administration and
students and demonstrate the
willingness on each side to give
and accept responsibility.

Sir John Rothenstein returns

One of the most enjoyable
visiting professors Agnes Scott
has ever received will return to
the campus this fall. Students

to be offered this fall

He is most widely known as the
director of the Tate Gallery in
which capacity he served from
1938-1964. Sir John has been
noted for his accomplishments in
elevating this gallery to a place of
eminence in the art world. He
acquired 40 major sculptures by
Henry Moore and restored and
displayed some the most
significant works of J.M. Turner.

Sir John, a native of London,
received his M.A. degree from
Oxford University. After
receiving his degree he emigrated
to the U.S. where he taught for a
year at the University of
Kentucky and a year at the
University of Pittsburgh. He then
resumed his career in England. Sir
John is a commander of the
Order of the British Empire and
in 1952 was knighted by Queen
Elizabeth.

Sir John's first visit to Agnes
Scott was in November, 1967,
when he lectured on the art of
J.M. Turner. In 1968 Sir John
returned to lecture on Art
Nouveau as exemplified by
Aubrey Beardsley. Last year
Agnes Scott was fortunate
enough to have Sir John instruct
an art history course and is lucky
enough to have him back once
again as an instructor this fall.

Welcome to Atlanta.. .home of
the Braves, Aunt Pittypat, Lester
Maddox, and Agnes Scott. ..well,
almost. Even if you don't know
your way around, Decatur won't
be hard to find. ..just follow the
railroad tracks, and you're bound
to get there eventually.

Right across the street is
Columbia Mall. Both Rich's and
Davison's, as well as many other
stores, are found here.. .It's the
most popular spot for roommates
on a cu rtains-and-bedspreads
safari.

galleries, saloons and rathskellers
(P.J. Kenney's Saloon,
Munlenbrinks Saloon, Hearth and
Pendulum, The Blarney Stone)
and eating and entertainment
spots (Ruby Red's, The
Apothecary, Salvatore's Grotto,
Gone with the Wits).

If your parents are making the
trip with you on that fateful day
in September, they'll probably
want to eat somewhere more
exciting than a Brazier Burger
after finally reaching Atlanta
with daughter and all her
apparatus. So, if they really feel
like splurging, maybe you can tell
them about the steaks at the
Round Table (Piedmont at
Lindberg) or the pecan pie at
Mammy's Shanty (1480
Peachtree Street). Or, they can
try Bama Bird at Pittypat's Porch
(25 Cain Street), country ham at
Tom Flynn's Plantation House
Restaurant (5628 Memorial
Drive, Stone Mountain), or
chicken in wine at Hugo's (The
Regency, 265 Peachtree Street,
N.E.K

Any little brothers or sisters
coming along for the ride? They
might get a kick out of feeding
the ducks at Stone Mountain,
taking a ride through Uncle
Remus land at Six Flags over
Georgia, or paying a visit to Ivan
the Tiger at the Grant Park Zoo.

After orientation is over, and
you've had a chance to breather,
you'll probably want to take off
one afternoon to do some
shopping. Belvedere is the closest
shopping center to Agnes Scott,
and is easily reached by bus.

Phipps Plaza is Atlanta's newest
shopping center. Located here are
Saks and Tiffany's,. ..plenty to
give a checkbook apoplexy. Just
across the highway is Le nox
shopping center, also with a
Rich's and Davison's.

One of the most popular places
to go on a date or just with a
group of friends is Underground
Atlanta. This is a four-block area
in the middle of Atlanta that
used to be the heart of the city's
financial district. When Sherman
came through, many of the
buildings were destroyed. So, the
whole area was cemented over,
and the new Atlanta was built on
top.

The old area has recently been
made over into a tourist
attraction, patterned after New
Orleans' French Quarter and
Chicago's Old Town. The streets,
lit by gaslight, are now lined with
museums, gift shops (Dupah
Tree, 'Twas the Night Before,
Humbug, Wooden Onion), art

Interested in opera? The
Metropolitan Opera comes to
Atlanta every spring for a week.
Also, for symphony-lovers, the
Atlanta Symphony, conducted
by Robert Shaw, has concerts
throughout the year.

The Civic Center and Memorial
Arts Center are locations for
many shows, plays, and concerts
that come to Atlanta. The
Memorial Arts Center also houses
the High Museum of Art.

Atlanta has many other
attractions, too Emory and
Georgia Tech, to name a
few.. .but you'll be hearing about
them soon enough.

All in all, we think Agnes Scott
is in a pretty good location for a
college. After all, listening to
Milo Hamilton's broadcast of a
Braves game on TV isn't half as
much fun as being there.

n

Freshmen and new students are
usually curious as to what Scott
students are" like. Is Agnes Scott
really comparable to a convent
and are the girls all prim and
proper are questions which may
have run through your mind.

The pictures shown here may
give new students some idea as to
what Agnes Scott students are
like. Responses to a questionnaire
distributed by the PROFILE to
all students last spring quarter
will also contribute to the
understanding of students and
their life at Scott. Out of 722
students, 386 replied (48 seniors,
75 juniors, 119 sophomores, and
144 freshmen.) There were 21
questions. The results to some of
them are summarized below. For
each question there were a
number of responses to which the
student could respond by
checking those applicable.

To the question "Why did you
choose Agnes Scott College/'the
majority of respondents from
each class checked small college,
location, and academic
reputation as major reasons. To a
question concerning whether or
not Agnes Scott had lived up to
the individual's expectations
academically the majority replied
positively. Most students seem to
be satisfied with the academic
program. However, to a question
concerning whether or not Scott
had lived up to the individual's

expectations socially the majority
replied only "partly." Social life
for many does leave something to
be desired.

The majority of respondents
checked that for the most part
they were happy at Scott. For
those who were not happy at
Scott, respondents advised that
they should "get into things" or
"expand their friendships."

Responses to what each class
liked most about Agnes Scott
varied. However, each class was
consistent in that they liked the
girls and the faculty. What girls
disliked most about Agnes Scott
were: the way courses are taught;
social life; social regulations (this
was before the present changes
were made); and homogeneous
atmosphere.

Conservative, nice, social,
intellectual, and smarter than
most girls were the choices
frequently checked for describing
girls at Scott.

To the question "What would
you describe as academic pressure
as far as you, yourself, are
concerned? ' respondents were
given the choices; too much
emphasis on grades - high,
normal, low; too much work, not
enough time to do a good job -
high, normal, low; not enough
time to relax - high, normal, low;
not enough time for social
activities - high, normal, low.

From these choices the majority
in each class rated too much
emphasis on grades and too much
work, not enough time to do a
good job as high. The majority in
each class rated not enough time
for social activities as normal.

Concerning class discussion,
many freshmen and sophomores
reported that there was hardly
any class discussion in their
classes while juniors and seniors
reported that there was a lot of
class discussion in some of their
classes.

The exact statistics to these
questions and others on the
questionnaire are interesting.
These statistics are tabulated in
the May 22, 1970 issue of
PROFILE. A copy may be
obtained on request.

Alumnae Association
furthers Scott aims

by JUDY MILNER

In the words of Ann Worthy
Johnson, Director of Alumnae
Affairs, "The purpose of the
Alumnae Association is to further
the aims of Agnes Scott College,
intellectually, financially, and
virtually. 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 Mason with the
student body. Usually the
president of Mortar Board and
the one other girl, chosen by the
class president, works with the
Alumnae Association in an effort
to keep the lines of
communication open.

The Alumnae have sponsored a
Career Advisee Committee, with
alumnae as resource people in
aiding students to 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
from alumnae, parents, and
friends.

The third major area of
Alumnae activity is publication.
The main publication is the
"Alumnae Quarterly/' of which
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,

freshmen and alumnae.

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
"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."

18 year-olds
can give blood

A Senate Bill allowing
individuals 18 or over to give
blood without parental consent if
they are residents of the State of
Georgia was signed by Governor
Lester Maddox and went into
effect July 1.

Prior to the passage of the bill,
Georgia residents between 18 and
21 years of age were required to
have parental concent to donate
blood unless they were members
of the armed forces or were
married.

According to Dr. Shirley L.
Rivers, medical director for the
Atlanta Regional Red Cross
Blood Program, will eliminate a
great deal of paper work and will
simplify the conduct of
bloodmobiles on the college and
university campuses throughout
the area.

The Bill also provides that
those individuals 18 years of age
or over who are non-residents of
this state may also give, if they
reside in a state which permits
the donation of biood at 18.

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 areas, 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.

In the words of Miss Gary,
"The liberal arts school is
oriented towards givinq 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

offered

Persons interested in foreign
language will be pleased to note
the addition of a new language to
the curriculum this year. For the
first time Agnes Scott will offer a
course in Russian. This course
will be open to freshmen.

Mr. Vladimir Volkoff will
instruct the course. Mr. Volkoff
belongs to an old Russian family
who escaped to France during the
Revolution. Mr. Volkoff was
born in Paris. He is a graduate of
the Faculte des Lettres de Paris
(Sorbonne). Mr. Volkoff has
served as translator for the
Ministry of Defense in Paris and
for les Editions Hachette for
whom he translated "Pickwick
Papers," the whole series of Mary
Poppins as well as other works.

Mr. Volkoff is also the author
of several novels including a
science fiction novel entitled
"Metro Pour L'Enfer," which was
awarded the Jules Verne prize in
1963. Under the pen name Victor
Duloup, Mr. Volkoff's most
recent book, "La Civilisation
Francaise," was published this
year. He has also lectured on
various Russian literary and
artistic subjects in France,
Belgium and Switzerland.

For the p st few years Mr.
Volkoff has been instructing
French at Agnes Scott and will
continue instructing this language
as well as Russian.

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."

BOOK REVIEWS

Too many
people

by PR1SCILLA OFFEN

A baby is born; new life is
created, and for most of us this is
a pleasing thing. And yet there is
an ever-present danger here - a
danger forcing itself every day
more and more into the attention
of mankind. The danger is
overpopulation.

The human species is
multiplying at an ever-increasing
rate. Even today overcrowding
and starvation can be found in
almost every country of the
world. Along with famine,
over-population brings pollution
of the air, the water and the earth
as well.

This problem and its aspects
are well discussed in Dr. Paul R.
Ehrlich's book, "The Population
Bomb."

The book is well written ana

well organized. Yet too it is a
disturbing book. The reading of it
becomes almost a process of
forcing one's way through it. This
is not because of the style, but
rather because of the subject
matter. The subject is admittedly
unpleasant, and yet one that any
person living today should and in
fact must be aware of.

Ehrlich begins by giving the
reader figures and statistics
informing him of the problem.
This makes a good beginning, as
it immediately awakens the
reader to the true enormity of
the problem. The problem is not
simply overpopulation, however.
It also includes the destruction of
the environment.

An interesting point of Dr.
Ehrlich's is that pollution is a
part of the problem of
overpopulation, we too often
tend to consider them separately.
The greater the number of
people, the greater the number of
automobiles and airplanes, etc. -
the greater the urge of industry
to create goods quickly and
cheaply with little regard to the

pollution this causes - the greater
use of pesticides and farming
methods which produce more
food for the present but tend to
harm the land for future
cultivation.

Ehrlich also includes a short
chapter on the possible results of
overpopulation if it continues.
World-wide famine and along
with it much political unrest are
envisioned by the author as
imminent. The United States
could conceivably find itself in
some very unpleasant tangles.

What exactly is being done to
stop this "population bomb"
from going off is also discussed
by Ehrlich. His criticism is severe.
Little is being done now and yet
much is needed. Even much of
the action which is being taken is
ineffective. The author gives a
comparison between this action
and the men on a sinking ship
appointing a committee to decide
what steps to take to save the
ship.

What needs to be done is by
now a very real question in the
reader's mind. Ehrlich's answers

are realistic. Although Ehrlich is
not given to optimism, the reader
is given some hope for the future
and this is important.

Ehrlich concludes with what
the reader can do. The problem
of which the book spoke is what
we have to live with today. How
we the college students act in the
face of this problem could be of
much importance to the future.

Student
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' 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.

ATLANTA POP FESTIVAL

by BEV WALKER

Despite all you may have heard
or read, the Atlanta Pop Festival
was a tremendous affair. The
music and kids were great. The
atmosphere was free and easy.
For the most part news reports
dwelled only on drug abuse,
skinny-dipping, and traffic and
missed a great deal of the festival.
Drug abuse admittedly was
widespread but a lot more
deserves to be said.

The festival took place in
Byron, a country town near
Macon. Activities officially
started July 3rd but kids started
arriving with their camping gear
much earlier. Festivities
continued through Monday. By
Saturday there was a crowd of
well over 200,000.

Byron police seemed quite
perplexed by the whole affair.
For the most part they stood by
and watched. No attempts were
made to prevent nudity, riding on
backs of cars or drug abuse. It
would have been foolish to
attempt to do so.

Camping grounds were located
in a pecan orchard adjacent to
the performance area. Pecan trees
offered great shade and it was
possible to hear the music trom
this area. Camping equipment
and abodes were often quite
unique and ranged from
hammocks strung between car
and pecan tree, to sheets roughly
arranged over sticks stuck in the
ground, to army tents and VW
buses, to air conditioned trailers.
Everyone had coolers.

The music at the festival was
great. A few of the bands
scheduled didn't make it but
those there were entertaining
enough. The Allman Brothers,
Savage Grace, Goose Creek
Symphony, B.B. King, John
Sebastian, and Jimi Hendrix got a
tremendous response from the
crowd. The Bob Seger System
from Detroit got a great hand as
they came out with "Highway
Child, " "Peitition Blues," and
"Lucifer." Spirit combining rock,
jazz, and country music was also
great. Bloodrock, Rare Earth,
Gypsy, and Mott the Hoople also
contributed to the event.

It was quite hot with the
temperature up in the 90's but a
nice breeze remained faithful and
water was not too hard to get
though ice was up to $1.75 a bag
by Saturday. There were showers
and a creek nearby. Modesty was
not a feature of the festival. Girls
seemed to have "banned the bra"
and in some cases everything and
some males were totally free of
clothing. Skinny -dipping was
popular at the creek as was soap
and Prell. Those who connote
hippies with dirt would have been
amazed at the popularity of
bathing in the creek. The showers
were set up in rows and people
lined up to wait their turn. The
showers offered no privacy. If
you were modest you took a
shower with clothes on.

Water and sandwiches were
handed out at relief centers until
the supply ran out and water was
available at times through
spickets. The crowd was warned
to bring their own food and
cokes as some people put more in
the food than ingredients called
for. Someone seemed to fell
watermelon slices could feel
improved with LSD.

The better publicized aspect of
the festival was drug abuse. Usage
of drugs of all types was
widespread and open with
apparently no attempts to curb
it. Grass, hash, acid, LSD, heroin,
organic mescaline, etc. were
easily available to anyone who
had the money and to lots who
didn't. Calls of"Grass-a nickle
($5.)" and "Heroin a dime
'$10)" were frequent. Actually
drugs were sold in a manner
similar to the selling of peanuts
and pop corn at football games.
Some kids walked around holding
up signs of product and price.

The facilities at the festival
were not bad. Jiffie Johns were
conveniently placed in the
performance area and on camping
grounds. First Aid Centers were
also established. The main
infirmary was located on camping
grounds and consisted roughly of
a large open tent with rows of
cots. Most of the nurses were
volunteers. First aid tents were
also located in the performance
area. One ambulance was
provided and cars with red
crosses painted on sheets
attached to hoods were also
used as emergency vechicles^

Nurses and ambulance drivers
reported surprisingly few serious
injuries. From a crowd of over
200,000 - a crowd large enough
to form a city - acts of violence
and accidents were amazingly
low. Some of the most urgent
cases were pregnant women
about to give birth. Emergency
cases were rushed by ambulance
to a helicopter waiting on the
race track next to the
performance area.

All in all the festival was great
and well planned. Of course the
area was a mess but what else
could be expected from a crowd
of over 200,000. It is unfortunate
for the promoters that as early as
Friday evening the gates were
forced open and the festival made
free. Collection plates were
passed on performance grounds
and a few thousand was collected
this way.

There were the inevitable
clashes which often occur
between two different types of
people - such as the hippie type
and the southern farmer - but
there was also the curiosity and
friendly interest. As one long-hair
was overheard, "...guy in the bow
tie over there, real hick-type,
passing out water, asking us
where we were from - real nice
guy." One farmer, selling his
watermellon, shared his opinion
of the hippies. "See a lot of
youngsters here who should be
home, but most of 'em just like
all people, some good, some
bad."

Uncle Sam wants us?

by DEANA CRAFT

Emory coeds have found a new
way of being where the men are.
The answer?Join ROTC!

Emory is one of the first
colleges to take part in the
Air Force's new policy of
admitting women to its Reserve
Officers Training Program.
Emory coeds' involvement in the
program is partially a result of
the Women's Liberation
Movement. "It marks a kind of
ultimate freedom" commented
one Emory student.

Women enrolling in the Air
Force's program will share the
same benefits as their male

counterparts. They will be
eligible for AFROTC
Scholarships, Air Force pay, and
commissions upon completion of
the program.

The traditional woman's right
to change her mind will be
ignored by the Air Force.
According to Col. Black of
Emory, "There's no way for her
to get out of the contract
unless there are extenuating
circumstances, such as hardship
in the family." This rule also
applies to men.

Females will attend the same
classes as men and will be

PROFIl h

included on drills and field trips
The girls will wear the traditiona ;
WAF uniforms.

How many will join remains to
be seen. Steve Abbctt, a leader of
a movement for ROTC removal
from the campus, speculated, "A
couple may join just out of
curiosity, but that would be it."

The fact that Georgia Tech is
also introducing this program
among its women seems to come
as somewhat less of a surprise.
One student declared, "It doesn't
seem strange that a girl would go
to a boy's school would want to
join the army."

Scottie's views were more
negative. One commented, "I just
hope it doesn't give Dr. Alston
any ideas!"

More allowance to lenders
of Guaranteed Student Loans

Secretary of Health, Education,
and Welfare Elliot L. Richardson
announced July 8th that the
special allowance paid to lenders
participating in the Guaranteed
Student Loan Program will be
raised to an annual rate of 2%
percent for the April-June
quarter.

The allowance is paid to
lenders on the average unpaid
principal balance of student loans
outstanding. For the

January-March quarter, the
allowance was at the annual rate
of 2 percent.

The plan of special allowances
to make the Guaranteed Student
Loan Program more attractive to
lenders and to make mo/e loans
available to students was put into
operation on October 22, 1969.

The Guaranteed Student Loan
Program, authorized by the
Higher Education Act of 1965,

non-profit private agency, or the
Federal Government, may
guarantee or insure loans made to
students attending nearly 7,500
colleges and universities and
business, technical, and
vocational schools.

The Act limits interest on these
loans to 7 percent a year. With
interest rates on other types of
loans at an all-time high, many
students have found it difficult to
find a lending institution willing
to make a 7 percent loan.

To make the program more
attractive to lenders, Congress
passed the Emergency Insured
Student Loan Act of 1969. This
law permits the Federal
Government to pay lenders
special allowances each quarter if
the Secretary determines that the
return to lenders is less than
equitable in light of current
economic conditions. The
maximum allowance is 3 percent
of the average unpaid principal
balance of loans outstanding
during the preceding quarter.

Since 1966, the first year of
the program's operation, more
than $2.25 billion has been
loaned to approximately
1,875,000 students. Loan volume
in fiscal year 1966 was $77
million; in fiscal year 1967, $248
million; in fiscal year 1968, $436
million; in fiscal year 1969, $687
million.

For fiscal year 1970, ending
June 30, it is estimated loans will
total nearly $840 million.

Public school enrollment

Public-school enrollment in the
United States is increasing at a
decreasing rate.

The 16th annual fall survey of
public elementary and secondary
day schools by HEW's Office of
Education reveals a record
enrollment of 45,618,578 pupils
at the beginning of the 1969-70
school year - up nearly 675,000
over the fall 1968 figure. But this
1.5 percent increase over the
previous year is the smallest
percentage rise recorded since the
late 1940's.

Based on data supplied by
State education agencies
throughout the country, the
survey of full-time public schools
indicates new peaks in teacher
employment, high school
graduates, annual teachers'
salaries, financial expenditures,
and outlay per pupil. It also
shows a continued downward
trend in the classroom
construction rate, national
pupil-teacher ratio, and the
employment of teachers with

substandard certificates.

In 1961 the Nation
experienced an all-time high in
the number of births, followed
by seven consecutive years in
which births declined. These
smaller numbers of births
recorded in the Sixties have had a
leveling effect particularly on
elementary school enrollments -
a trend that is not likely to be
reversed until the end of the
Seventies.

As a result, the relative
distribution between the two
public school levels has been
changing. The percentage of total
enrollment in elementary schools
has been decreasing (60.9 percent
in 1968 to 60.2 percent in 1969)
while the percent in secondary
schools has been increasing (39.1
percent in 1968 to 39.8 percent
in 1969).

Intercollegiate

Intercollegiate, more officially
known as the Atlanta
Intercollegiate Programs Council,
will be of major interest to
students on campuses in the
Atlanta area this year.

Intercollegiate was formed by
two students from Georgia Tech
during the summer of 1969. The
purpose of the organization is to
establish a means by which to
cooperate efforts among colleges
pertaining to areas of mutual
interest.

According to Diane Wilkins,
acting chairman, the efforts will
be centered in four major areas:
community services, films,
concerts, and lectures.

Agnes Scott, represented by
Mary Agnes Bulloch, class of
1970, was a member of
Intercollegiate last year. Belita
Stafford, class of 1972, has been
elected as our 1970-71
representative. Bonnie Rose
Beaver, assistant professor of art,
will serve as faculty sponsor.

The efforts of Intercollegiate
will first be to establish the
organization and get
representatives from all of the 25
colleges in the Atlanta area so
that they can really get going on
planning and scheduling events. A
major goal will simply be
improving communications
between the colleges so that
when one campus does have a
good speaker, students on other
campuses will at least know
about it.

A luncheon for members has
been scheduled for October 17.
At this point plans will be made
for compiling a notebook
including the names and
addresses of representatives.
Included also in the notebooks
will be a map of each college
campus to facilitate students
finding activities located on
campuses other than their own.

Belita commented that she is
looking forward to a very
successful and active year.

Editor's Note: The PROFILE
would like to thank Miss Laura
Steele, director of admissions, for
her cooperation.

As the figures show the
freshman class this year is quite a
bit smaller than the entering
freshman classes of the preceding
three years. This smaller number
of freshmen, 191 of whom are
boarders, has raised a few
questions concerning admissions.
Was it the intent of the college to
accept fewer students this year or
was it that there were not many
applications for acceptance?

Upon the request of the
PROFILE, Miss Laura Steele,,
director of admissions, has
provided us with a few insights as
to admissions procedures.

According to Miss Steele the
college has consistently enrolled
freshman classes of over 200
since 1960. The graduating class
of 1969, totalling 150, was the
largest in the history of the
college. Because of the large
number graduating it was decided
to accept an unusually large
number of freshman for the
following year. Thus the
freshman class last year totalled
244.

"Those (freshman) who have
just entered came from an
applicant group of approximately
the same size as the one in 1969.
Approximately the same number
were accepted by our admissions
committee. The percentage of
acceptance of our offer of
admissions was not the same,
however."

Miss Steele went on to explain
that they, like observations made
by the Director of Admissions of
Mount Holyoke, noted that
getting into college no longer
seemed as important to many
students as it has been in the
past.

Outstanding educators"

Dr. W.J. Frierson, chairman of
the chemistry department, Dr.
Margaret W. Pepperdene,
chairman of the English
department, and Dr. Chloe Steel,
chairman of the French
department, have been selected
to appear in the 1970 edition of
OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS
of AMERICA. Nominated earlier
this year, they have been

chosen for the awards
publication on the basis of their
civic and professional
achievements.

The OUTSTANDING
EDUCATORS of AMERICA is an
annual program designed to
recognize and honor those men
and women who have
distinguished themselves by
pvrpotional service, achievements

by Susan Propst
and leadership in education. Each
year over 5,000 of our country's
foremost educators are featured
in this national volume.

Nominations for
OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS
OF AMERICA are made by the
presidents, deans and other heads
of schools and colleges who have
first-hand knowledge of their
endeavors and accomplishments.

The professors included in this
biographical history receive a
high honor. They are chosen for
national recognition on the basis
of local standards of excellence.
Guidelines for selection include
an educator's talents in the
classroom, contributions to
research, administrative abilities
and any civic and professional
recognition previously received.

Former Vice-President Hubert
Humphrey, who wrote the
introductory message for the
1970 edition, says of the men
and women included, "The
greatest strength of any nation is
the human resources. These are
the men and women who by their
actions in the classroom today
mold the course of history. Our
hope-the nation's youth-is in
their hands. As we honor these
teachers, we are reminded of
their awesome duty. As they have
our confidence, we must give
them the tools to wage
Jefferson's 'crusade against
ignorance'. With men and women
like these we knowthat our faith
in education has not been
misplaced."

Also observed was the fact that
"students changed their minds
more than in any other year in
our experience. In the late
summer, after firm commitments
had been made, thirty- four
students (some freshmen, some
upperclassmen) cancelled their
registrations and forfeited large
advance deposits that we, like
other colleges, are forced to
charge in order to stabilize
enrollments by early summer."

As some students have noted,
Sturgis cottage is vacant and
according to Miss Mollie Merrick,
assistant dean of students, 30
double rooms are being used as
singles this year. Last year
approximately 10 to 15 doubles
were used as singles.

Statistics concerning
admissions figures from other
colleges are not yet available.
Some general information is
available, however. Miss Steele
noted that "The 'Chronicle of
Higher Education" reported in
August that the most serious
problem facing colleges will be
financing. These problems are
especially serious for private
institutions. Princeton has an
expected two million dollar
deficit for the current fiscal year
and Columbia a possible deficit
of 15 million. The chief cause is
inflation. Building and
maintenance costs are
increasingly higher and sources of
funds for higher education have
been affected by the depressed
condition of the stock market.
Many colleges have raised their
tuition fees. The "Chronicle"

describes as "fairly typical"
situations where colleges are as
much as 100 to 125 short in
students. ,

According to responses to a
questionnaire sent out by the
admissions office "cost" was
listed as a determining factor by
20 students who did not enroll as
freshmen this September. For
two years questionnaires have
been sent to students who were
accepted by the college but who
did not enroll.

A number of items were listed
in the questionnaire. For
example, students were asked
what appealed to them most
about Agnes Scott and what had
the least appeal. A few questions
and results from the
questionnaire are presented
below. The figures represent
replies from 90 students (65% of
those to whom questionnaires
were sent) who were accepted
but did not enroll.

Scott awarded
s 200,000

Agnes Scott and fourteen other
private, independent liberal arts
colleges have each been awarded
$200,000 in faculty support
grants by The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, of New York City.

Other recipients include: Bates,
Lewiston, Maine; Bucknell,
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania; Drew,
Madison, New Jersey; Grinnell,
Grinnell, Iowa; Knox, Galesburg,
Illinois; Lafayette, Easton,
Pennsylvania; Mills, Oakland,
California; Oberlin, Oberlin,
Ohio; Randolph-Macon College
for Women, Lynchburg, Virginia;
Scripps, Claremont, California;
Trinity, Hartfo dg Connecticut;
Wabash, Crawf ordsville, Indiana;
Wake Forest, Winston-Salem,
North Carolina; and Wheaton,
Norton, Massachusetts.

The present awards may be
used for such matters as salary
increases, additions to faculty

and paid release time as
determined by the colleges, but
may not be used for endowment.
The Foundation has requested
that the support be given
primarily to the humanities
programs at each institution.

The grants are an extension of
the Foundation's long standing
program of aiding the humanities
through the establishment of
en owed professorships. Since
1961, 23 professorships in the
humanities have been awarded by
the Foundation to 17 colleges
and universities.

The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation resulted from the
merger of Old Dominion
Foundation into Avalon
Foundation in June 1969, the
name of the latter having been
changed concurrently to the
present designation.

year and who are now attending
graduate schools has been

of an approximate 149 graduated
seniors, 22 are attending graduate

Cunningham honored

Dr. Alice J. Cunningham,
professor of chemistry, has been
awarded grant of $4,500 from
the Brown-Hazen Fund of
Research Corporation, one of the
oldest American foundations for
the advancement of science.

The recent grant is a renewal of
the original award to Dr.
Cunningham in May, 1969, and
makes possible the continuation
of her work on "Some* New
Approaches to Biochemical
Syntheses and Mechanisms
Through Electrochemistry."

Basically, her research revolves
around the problem of rvow the
properties of enzymes are altered
when electrons are added
(reduction) or removed
(oxidation) from the enzyme
system.

Dr. Cunningham has already
presented two papers, one
co-authored by students, on
preliminary phases of her
investigation, and she has been
invited to present a third in May,
1971, at a special symposium on
"Electrochemistry and Biological
Process" at the Electrochemical
Society meeting in Washington,
D.C.

Research Corporation grants in
the physical and biomedical
sciences are made to help initiate
scholarly research by young
faculty members and to foster
pioneering or speculative research
by established investigators. The
Brown-Hazen Grants Program is
named for the investors of
nystatin, who donated their
royalties to Research Corporation
in 1951.

PR I NCETON' N.J.
Educational Testing Service
announced today that
undergraduates and other
preparing to go to graduate
school may take the Graduate
Record Examinations on any of
six different test dates during the
current academic year.

The first testing date for the
GRE is October 24, 1970. Scores
from this administration will be
reported to the graduate schools
about December 1. Students
planning to register for the
October test date are advised that
applications received by ETS
after October 6 will incur a $3.00
late registration fee. After
October 9, there is no guarantee
that applications for the October
test date can be processed.

The other five test dates are
December 12, 1970, January 16,
February 27, April 24 and June
19, 1971. Equivalent late fee and
registration deadlines apply to
these dates. Choice of test dates
should be determined by the

requirements of graduate schools
or fellowships to which one is
applying. Scores are usually
reported to graduate schools five
weeks after a test date.

The Graduate Record
Examinations include an
Aptitude Test of general
scholastic ability and Advanced
Tests measuring achievement in
20 major fields of study. Full
details and registration forms for
the GRE are contained in the
1970-71 GRE Information
Bulletin. The Bulletin also
contains forms and instructions
for requesting transcript service
on GRE scores already on file
with ETS. This booklet may be

Students support confrontation

BE R KE LEY (CPS-

) College students accept the
use of confrontation tactics and
reject the methods used by
campus and civil authorities to
quell student protests, according
to a survey released by a research
team at the Center for Research
and Development in Higher
Education located at the
University of California at
Berkeley.

The survey of 1,452 college
seniors was conducted on ten
campuses selected to represent
different institutions by nature of
size, geographic location, state or
private control, economic
backgroud of the student body.
Most of the students were white
middle-class men and women
with above average academic
records who graduated last spring
and summer.

When asked if they believed
that some form of confrontation
"is necessary and effective" in
changing the ration's social and
political direction only one
percent concluded that
confrontation was unnecessary.
Nineteen percent supported onlv

some form of "peaceful
petitioning." Fifty-two percent
felt that "non- violent mass
protest is the only feasible way to
persuade officials to respect the
will of the people." Nineteen
percent answered that the "use of

disruptive tactics and the
destruction of property is often
necessary to change the status
quo." And nineteen percent
stated that "although some may
get badly hurt, actual physical
confrontation and violence must
at times be resorted to in order to
affect social change."

The survey also reported that:
Fifty percent of the seniors
indicated they were or "would
have been"participants in
Vietnam war protests and 36
percent indicated they would be
in sympathy with such protests.

Seventy-three percent of the
seniors agreed that "basically, the
U.S. is a racist society" and 17
percent disagreed.

Fifty-six percent of the seniors
oppose suspension of dismissal of
students "who disrupt the normal
functioning of the campus byf
protest activities". Twentv-one

percent favor suspension of
dismissal.

Despite the fact that none of
the schools involved in the study
had experienced the massive use
of police force, 46 percent of the
seniors see the police as
instigators of violence and only
28 percent disagreed.

The research team was unable
to provide the names of the
schools involved in the study
under the terms of their contracts

Stewart

heads
library

by CINDY HARVEY

One of Agnes Scott's new faces
is Mr. George C. Stewart, the new
librarian of McCain Library. Good
academic reputation and the
Atlanta area brought him to
Agnes Scott.

Mr. Stewart attended Tulane
University where he received his
B.A. and M.A. in English. His
special interest was American
literature and Faulkner. He has
taught English at Murray State
University in Kentucky and at
the University of Colorado.

After receiving his masters in
Library Science, Mr. Stewart
taught the subject for two years
at Lynchburg College in Virginia.

Teaching library science,
literature, and the humanities
brought him to Emory University
for two years as a visiting
professor.

Mr. Stewart sees a lot of
potential for library development
at Agnes Scott. As a "library
scholar" he is interested in active
minds and student research.

Fired up!

by GINGER ROLLINS

It was approximately 3:30
Thursday afternoon, September
24. All was quiet and actually
remained relatively calm [Article
XV, Section 25 It is improper
to become overly excited]. Mr.
Raymond Martin, Professor of
Music, was seen running down
the hall in Presser, rubbing his
eyes and muttering something
about "Bach has died."

This too was viewed as nothing
new until smoke was seen
billowing from the windows of
Gaines. Suddenly everything
cleared except the smoke. Mr.
Martin has said "Smoke in eyes"
as the curtain in Gaines
smoldered away.

The burning curtain was
removed before any real damage
was done. Life continued as
usual. As for you who missed Mr.
Michael McDowell's concert
Thursday night-well, to say the
least, he really got things fired up
practicing for it that afternoon.

On the whole, however, the transfers felt that they should not have
to go through the same orientation as the freshman. One transfer
stated, "Transfers don't need that much orientation-maybe just a
morning." The desire was also expressed to be able to have an
opportunity to meet more of the upperclassmen from the first.

One transfer noticed a difference about Agnes Scott that kept her
from attending one of the northern women's colleges.She liked Scott
because "people around here get things done. At those other schools,
nobody is really doing or learning anything because they are involved
in too many outside projects."

About Us

After settling down to the business of publishing this first
issue and after briefly pondering over our issues last spring
quarter, the staff drew a few conclusions.

Number one: the PROFILE will resume its status as
primarily a weekly campus newspaper in so far as finances
and the health of the staff will allow. At this point the
most feasible plan is to publish three times per month.
Issues will appear on Friday. The week during each month
when we will not be publishing will be stated far enough in
advance so as not to interfere with publicity.

Number two: due to feelings expressed by numerous
students and a few professors, the PROFILE will begin to
take stands on issues either directly or indirectly related to
this campus. To this end an editorial board will be
established. The purpose of this board will be to serve in an
advisory capacity to the editor and to be responsible for
editorial policy. Students and faculty will have ample
opportunity to refute or support stands through "Letters
to the Editor." Students are encouraged to make use of the
"Student Opinion" column to express their own opinions.

Number three: because we receive so many notices ot
different types which we are unable to print, the PROFILE
has established a bulletin board in the mailroom. No, the
PROFILE is not communist. It is true that issues of
GRAMMA, a paper published by the Communist Party in
Cuba, will appear occasionally on the PROFILE bulletin
board. The paper is interesting if not amusing. If the
political statements offend you skip over them. You might
find the articles on welfare of interest. We urge you to look
at the PROFILE bulletin board. Issues of "Conservation
News," "Newsletters from the Middle East" and various
intesting news releases as well as college papers will be
posted there.

Academics

The Agnes Scott population either in its entirety or as
groups or individuals will face many important issues this
year. In reflecting briefly over various incidents and
mishaps (to say the least) on other campuses the PROFILE
would like to commend members of the administration,
faculty and student body on their successful efforts in
communication and cooperation.

At Agnes Scott these efforts were primarily geared
towards the upheaval of social regulations. On other
campuses, however, these efforts, successful or not, were
geared more towards student participation in deciding upon
academic curriculum and administrative policies in general.

Agnes Scott students seem now to be headed in this
direction, particularly in the area of academic revision. We
encourage again the communication and cooperation so
necessary in rational decision-making. Academic revision is
of vital concern to this college.

Successful revision can only be accomplished through
free expression by all members of the Agnes Scott
community. Realizing that discussion concerning academic
revision will be to a large degree with faculty members, we
likewise stress the importance of faculty expression and
disucssion with studentsand would like to encouraqe
faculty and students to confront on academic issues.

Brown, McFadden

byCASSANDRA BROWNand TYLER McFADDEN

(Co-chairmen, Committee on Constitutional Revision)

explain proposal

This past Tuesday, September
29, Rep Council began debate on
a proposed resolution for a new
student government consitution.
The agenda calls for debate on
this proposal for the next five
weeks. During this period the
various sectors of the campus
that would be affected by this
proposal will be heard from and
questioned with regard to the
desirability of the proposed
constitution. Students are
encouraged to attend these
sessions so that their own vote on
final ratification may be better
informed and more intelligent.

This proposal under discussion
is a document presented by the
Committee on Constitutional
Revision. This committee has
been at work since last spring
quarter. The proposal placed
before Rep Council is a
thoroughly investigated and well
considered plan.

The chief concern of the
document is that student
government be an organization
that serves students, not an
organization that leads them
hither, thither, and yon. This is
one of the areas of uncertainty
that has grown out of recent
work on the SCRAP proposals
during which many of the
students involved, particularly
members of Rep Council, were
concerned that they not impress
their own desires on an unwilling
student body.

As a solution to this problem
of communication among
representatives and the
represented, the membership of
Rep Council in the proposed
constitution has been organized
to include dorm representatives,
and to exclude the numerous
seniors who were on the board ex
officio.

These dorm representatives
would necessarily be more
accessable to their fellow
students and have easier access to
the opionion of those they
represented. It is felt among the
Committee that this will lead to a
body more representative of the
campus.

In order, however, to retain the
valuable and useful experience of
th,ese seniors, another
body- Executive Commission-has
been proposed. The purpose of
this group is consultative and
informative to the campus at
large and to Rep Council. The
Executive Commission is neither
superior nor inferior to Rep
Council but is an organization to
which much of Rep Council's
busywork may be referred in an
effort to free Rep Council to
meet the student's legislative
interests more efficiently.

Remember your goals?

It is common knowledge that
most students tend to forget their
actions of the preceding year
during the summer. Because of
this tendency, the Profile would
like to remind the student leaders
of the Agnes Scott community of
their plans and goals for the
college and students this year and
to refresh student memory of
what they may be expecting. The
leaders expressed these ideas last
spring in the Profile's election
issue.

Fran Fulton,president of the
Athletic Association, commented
last quarter that she "would like
to see Atheletic Association
re-evaluate the idea of 'spirit'
and seek to generate an
enthusiam" for the entire
campus. Fran also hoped to have
her group instigate more
"off-campus trips and service
projects" as well as begin an
intercollegiate program in
basketball. As for the
much -discussed re-organization of
several boards, Fran expressed
willingness to combine with other
boards for ''better
communication" to the student
body.

Christian Association's
leader,Connie Morris,felt her
board needs to be "searching and
putting into effect new ideas"
this year. Her plans for Religious
Emphasis Week included a "new
program" formed from a
consideration of the objections
and problems arising from
previous years.

Connie stressed that "spritual
life" at ASC needs to be
emphasized even more this year
as the college begins its new
system. She complained that
"means of communication have

by CAROLE KROC

become outdated" and that
something must be done about
the problem.

Stated Sherry Stith, President
of Social Council "Here lies the
responsibility of Social Council:
to provide voluntary activities for
the student beyond college
requirements and the
competition of intellectual
pursuits." Sherry stated that the
I board would have to
reevaluate the validity of winter
scene weekend as only about one
third of Scott students attended.
She also made suggestions for
greater utilization of the Hub-for
example "changing the snack bar
from the LDH to the Hub."

Bev Walker looked for more
student participation in creating
the student newspaper this year.
As editor of the Profile, she
wanted to form "a more diversely
opinionated staff and one which
is spread out over the campus to
obtain more and better coverage
of the events and opinions in the
college community." Bev also
hoped to use the paper as a
means of allowing both students
and faculty a chance to express
views and 'gripes' openly, "where
something hopefully can be done
about them."

Interdormitory Council begins
its first full year as a governing
body this fall. Elected as
Chairman of IDC last
spring j,Marylu Benton viewed her
board as "the bridge between the
dorms and the Dean's Office to
insure that the decentralization is
efficient." Where parietals are
concerned, Marylu pointed out
that a student poll did not show a

demand for "open dorms" on a
regular basis. However, she hoped
to open the dorms on "special"
weekends such as Homecoming.

Interdormitory Council should
exercise more jurisdiction and
responsibilities this year, but
Marylu commented that serious
cases such as dorm searches will
be handled by the new Honor
Court.

Honor Court's chairmanAngie
Jarrett agreed that Honor Court
will concern itself primarily with
serious violations that are
"fundamentally detrimental to
life in the academic community."
She upheld the idea of "dual
responsibility" and emphasized
that it will become an important
part of the new social system. On
the subject of dorm searches,
Angie planned for her board to
assist in carrying out any
necessary searches upon approval
of the IDC and the Dorm Council
involved.

Finally, the Student
Government Association, of
which all ASC students are
members, will be led byCarolyn
Cox during the 1970-71 season.
Last spring Carolyn stressed that
the academic situation at Scott
must be reviewed.Carolyn wanted
to find "imaginative and
workable solutions" for problems
such as "the need for a more
contemporary and varied
curriculum and the inconvenience
and burden of a semi-quarter
system."

Carolyn strongly advocated a
"professional study" of the
college's future during the next
ten to 25 years so that long-range

Another concern of the
Committee on Constitutional
Revision is that student
government lacks coordination in
the areas of student activity -
social, athletic, intercollegiate,
and artistic. In an effort to better
coordinate these areas of interest
the proposed constitution creates
a Board of Student Activities
charged with the responsibility to
meet student needs in these areas.
The Committee wishes to create a
responsive organ for the
expression of student interests; a
flexible group that does not
divide the various student
activities into interest groups but
unites them into a total effort
whether that effort be purely
entertainment, or directed
toward a consciousness of
community or as a response to
the needs of other people. To this
end Social Council and Atheltic
Association would be combined
into one board such as the Board

of Student Activities.

These two articles of the
proposed constitution serve best
to illustrate the philosophy of
student government which
infuses the whole work of the
Committee. It is the feeling of
the members that the purpose of
student government is to serve
the students. It is not the
purpose of this proposed
constitution for the students to
abrogate to their elected
representatives all rights, powers,
and duties, but rather for the
students to delegate these to a
more efficient organization.

The purpose of this document
is to emphasize that the students
as the Association hold, always,
the final authority in all matters
under student jurisdiction. It is
this principle of participation and
responsibility that the Committee
wishes to bring before all of the
students in its proposed

constitutions.

Ban the Can

On April 1, 1971 the sale of all
non-returnable soft drink and
beer containers will be illegal
within the city of Bowie,
Maryland, a Wasnington, D.C.
suburb of 40,000. Stores
violating the city ordinance will
be subject to a $100 per day fine.

Bowie officials said the ban's
effective date was delayed in

order to give the Maryland
Legislature a chance to pass a
state-wide prohibition. The
Maryland-National Capitol Park
and Planning Commission earlier
banned no-deposit, no-return
bottles and cans from parks
under its jurisdiction. The
Washington City Council has
scheduled hearings on an
ordinance similar to Bowie's.

foresaw changes in Rep Council
this year, particularly in creating
specific constituencies for Rep
Council members and
"subordinating boards with
particular appeal. ..to boards of
wider scope."

Working alone, these seven
board presidents certainly cannot
accomplish their goals. They will

neecj help from fellow board
members and from the Agnes
Scott community as a whole. Yet
they were elected on the basis of
the goals they expressed last
spring. Now that they have been
"reminded" of the plans they
talked and wrote about last
spring, we hope they begin to put
action into those plans this fall.

Ocean-new cesspool?

(Reprinted from "Conservation News" August 1, 1970)

The mid-August furor over
dumping several hundred tons of
nerve gas off the Florida coast
overlooked the fact that the
United States has been using the
oceans for years as a trash can for
noxious wastes.

This fact was highlighted later
that seme month when the Navy
dumped several tons of surplus
TNT off the Maryland coast.
Originally, it was planned to drop
the explosive off the coast of
New Jersey at the spot where
mustard gas had been dumped
three years before. When that
fact became public knowledge
the dumping site was shifted.
Good thing too, since ships five
miles away felt the explosion
when the TNT hit bottom.

Surplus military weapons and
explosives aren't the only things
the U.S. has been pouring into
the sea at the rate of 48 million
tons per year. Included in that
disposal are sulfuric acid, arsenic,
napthenates, cyanides, mercury
and other heavy metals,
pesticides, refuse-from municipal
sewage to plastics and cannery
wastes; radioactive wastes,
chemical warfare agents,
construction and demolition
debris and various rejected or
contaminated products-from

'WO, THEY USED UP THE WATER,
THIS TIME IT S TO BE BY SEWAGE.

foodstuffs to appliances.

Using the ocean for dumping
underwent brief revision last
winter when it was discovered
that the ocean off New York
harbor where the ity had been
dumping its sludge was dead.
Scientists studying the content of
bottom sediment in the area were
horrified. A bottom sample from
one station included cellulose
cigarette filter tips, band aids,
and aluminum foil. The same
items have been found in the
stomachs of fish. Oxygen in the
water in the dumping area was
found to be less than one part per
million. A concentration of 2.5
ppm is usually considered
essential for marine life. In fact,
nothing live was found.

What is most disturbing about
the extent and variety of
dumping is that so little is yet
known about the effect of sludge,
chemicals, poisons, and junk on
the marine environment. There is
some evidence that materials
break down very slowly on the
ocean bottom. There is
considerable evidence that marine
organisms can concentrate
pesticides, poisons or radioactive
wastes in their systems to a point
that can kill a man if he eats
them.

BOOK REVIEWS

Clean air
vanishing

VANISHING AIR: John
Esposito and the Nader Task
Force on Air Pollution.
Grossman, 1970. Hardcover
$7.95. Paperback $.95.

If you wonder why you always
get headaches driving downtown,
why your furniture always seems
a little grey, why your
eight-year-old is developing
asthma or you get bronchitis four
times a winter, this book
will give you the answers. It's
because the air is poisoned.

What Vanishing Air makes very
clear is that you might as well
stop breathing because it can't be
any worse for you than
continuing to inhale all the junk
that industry, autos and airplanes
dump into the air every day. It
also points out that we're all
likely to die sooner than usual
from emphysema of
bronchitis-no longer a nice,
normal death in old age or even a
conventional heart attack. We can
now cough ourselves into our
graves. The statisticians have even
coined a ph rase--"excess
deaths"--for those who would
have lived if the air were clean.

But it isn't. And you can't go
to the country to breathe clean
air. It's just cleaner. And since
most of us I iv 3 in cities, fresh air
is something we tell our kids
about the way we were told

about horse-drawn carriages and
high-button shoes. There's no use
looking for lists of "dirty air
cities" because they're all bad.

"Something must be done.
Surely the government is acting
to protect the lives of its
citizens." Not so, alas. The
National Air Pollution Control
Administration, the Don Quixote
of Federal agencies, for seven
years has been tilting at windmill
polluters and has managed to
bring one to court-a small
Maryland chicken rendering plant
whose air-borne discharges
smelled offensive in the extreme
but were not toxic. Meanwhile,
the giant poisoners of the air
remain untouched.

"Vanishing Air" says NAPCA is
irrelevant. It's hard to reach any
other conclusion after
investigating that agency's
non-progress in air pollution
control over the past seven years.
And, as Ralph Nader notes in his
introduction to the book, "The
deep loss of popular belief that
government is capable of
protecting and advancing the
public interest against this
airborne epidemic and its
corporate sources reflects a
broader absence of confidence,
particularly among the young,
that government can be honest
and courageous enough to
administer law for the people."

It is difficult to get used to the
fact that prominent citizens lie.
We usually think of dope addicts,
pickpockets and muggers as the
chronic liars of society. But the
auto industry has lied for years
about pollution control devices,
about developing alternatives to
the internal combution engine,

and industry lies all the time
about what and how much it is
polluting the air.

The favorite line from
industrial polluters these days is
"we were concerned about air
pollution long before it became
fashionable." "But," points out
Vanishing Air, "this alleged
concern of long standing on the
part of giant enterprises has not
slowed the steadily rising level of
air contamination nor deferred
the seemingly endless
proliferation of new and exotic
pollutants."

The message is simple: "The
public's hope for clean air has
been frustrated by corporate
deceit and collusion, by the
exercise of undue influence with
government officials, by secrecy
and the suppression of
technology, by the use of
dilatory legal maneuvers, by
special government concessions,
by highpowered lobbying in
Congress and administrative

agencies and--in ultimate
contempt for the people-by
turning a deaf ear to pleas for
responsible corporate
citizenship."

"Air pollution," Ralph Nader
writes, "is a form of domestic
chemical and biological warfare.
There is no full escape from such
violent ingestions (of air) for
breathing is required.

Student
politics

For students interested in
political campaigning, Donald G.
Herzberg and J. W. Peltason
unravel some mysteries and offer
practical advice in their new
book, A Student Guide To
Campaign Politics (McGraw-Hill,
$4.95 hardcover, and $1.95
paperback).

"Political campaigns in the
United States are unique," the
authors write. "They are longer,
more chaotic, more
decentralized, and less
issue-oriented than campaigns in
any other country in the world."

A Student Guide To Campaign
Politics offers young people
ste-by-step advice on campaigning
responsibilities-speech writing,
door-to-door canvassing soliciting
absentee votes, telephone
canvassing, etc. The book is not
ideological, nor does it promote
causes or candidates.

An active campaigner himself,
Donald G. Herzberg has
campaigned in Connecticut, New
York, and New Jersey. He was
Staff Director of President
Kennedy's Commission on

Emory coeds have found a new
way of being where the men are.
The answer ?Jo in ROTC!

Emory is one of the first
colleges to take part in the
Air Force's new policy of
admitting women to its Reserve
Officers Training Program.
Emory coeds' involvement in the
program is partially a result of
the Women's Liberation
Movement. "It marks a kind of
ultimate freedom" commented
one Emory student.

Women enrolling in the Air
Force's program will share the
same , benefits as their male

eligible for AFROTC
Scholarships, Air Force pay, and
commissions upon completion of
the program.

The traditional woman's right
to change her mind will be
ignored by the Air Force.
According to Col. Black of
Emory, "There's no way for her
to get out of the contract
unless there are extenuating
circumstances, such as hardship
in the family." This rule also
applies to men.

Females will attend the same
classes as men and will be
included on drills and field trips.

A number of students made
special comments on the
questionnaire. Miss Steele has
summarized some of them.

"One who especially liked our
being a women's college then
made the following comment. My
father thought it best that I go
west, meet new people,
experience new situations, and
become even more independent. I
love the 'south' and I loved Agnes
Scott but it's very difficult to tell
my father I feel he's wrong. She
is attending a large state
university.

One gave this brief reason for
not coming: "The heat I am very
susceptable to hot weather-in
order to feel comfortable I
needed a cooler climate."
Another found nothing appealing
about Agnes Scott, but liked the

Another student commented
that many of the students here
seem under strong academic
pressure; another thought there
were too many extremely
intelligent girls here. One said we
had a reputation of constant
studying in order to pass. Three
wanted sororities and football.
One chose Smith because her
brother is at Amherst; another is
going elsewhere because her sister
is here. Favorable
recommendations by Georgia
Tech students attracted at least
one to file here."

Of those who answered the
questionnaire, 43 are attending
other private women's colleges
and one a public college for
women. This is almost one half of
the responses. It seems that what
is keeping students from coming
to Agnes Scott does not lie in the
fact that we are coed. Another
interesting factor is that
according to the questionnaire
the two major reasons for
choosing the college they planned
to attend were location and
course offerings.

Christine Snook (72): "I don t
think they'll react. I really don't
think it'll phase them."

Jean Bruning (73): "They
think they're fine and approve of
them they trust me!"

Melinda Johnson (71): "They
accepted it as if they had been
expecting it."

Judy Taylor (73): "My parents
just said, 'Well, you're- on your
own.' They trust me."

The girls will wear the traditional
WAF uniforms.

How many will join remains to
be seen. Steve Abbott, a leader of
a movement for ROTC removal
from the campus, speculated, "A
couple may join just out of
curiosity, but that would be it."

The fact that Georgia Tech is
also introducing this program
among its women seems to come
as somewhat less of a surprise.
One student declared, "It doesn't
seem strange that a girl would go
to a boy's school would 1 want to
join the army."

Scottie's views were more
negative. One commented, "I just
hope it doesn't give Dr. Alston
any ideas!"

Quote Of The Week

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 two
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
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 are going to be
haken up.

NSA-controlled by
the militant far left?

Questions have been raised
concerning the validity of Agnes
Scott's membership in the
National Student Association
(NSA). Few students know what
NSA is or what it stands for.

Terri Hiers, NSA coordinator at
Agnes Scott, attended the 23rd
National Student Congress, held
August 9-19 at Macalester College
in St. Paul, Minnesota. Delegates
representing approximately 250
colleges were present.
Representatives come from

Women's
Festival
Oct. 10, 11

by PRISCILLA OFFEN

A two day Women's Festival
will be held this coming
Saturday, and Sunday, October
1 0 and 1 1 , in Piedmont Park. The
festival is being sponsored by the
women of Atlanta Women's
Liberation, but all other women
and women's groups in the
surrounding area have been
invited to participate. The hours
are to be from 10 until 6, with
various activities being presented
throughout both days.

The idea of such a festival was
concieved of last spring. Its
purpose is to bring a lot of
women in the area together-to
have a festival which emphasizes
the creative side of women.

The exhibits will include
photography, paintings, etchings,
pen and ink drawings, wall
hangings, weavings, and ceramics.
Women will also demonstrate
quilting, potting, needle work
and leather crafts.

A single program is to be held
on Saturday from 2:30 until
4:30. A poetry reading is
scheduled for both days at 5:00.
Throughout both days short
one-actplays and self-defense
demonstrations will be presented.
Also on Sunday around 2:00, an
all women's rock band will play.

The festival should prove both
interesting and varied. Students
interested in attending may
contact Lynn White for a ride.

by JAN FREDRICKSON

Midwest, Central, West and
Northwest are allowed one
delegate, two alternates.

Delegates from the
approximate 250 colleges
represented passed resolutions on
a number of issues. A left-wing
stance was generally taken. The
following resolutions may help
the Agnes Scott student
determine what NSA is and what
it stands for as well as how other
students seem to view the issues
discussed. NSA decisions are as
follows:

To repay $34,000 remaining of
the $50,000 debt incurred in
1969-70 as a resolution to
contribute . to the National
Association of Black Students.

To help promote local and
regional anti-war programs
through non-violent action.

To send to the Commission on
Campus Unrest a statement to
the effect that NSA does not
support government intervention
in the affairs of an academic
community.

To conduct opposition to
police training programs at
universities and colleges .

To establish a Women's Center
to carry out projects to further
the cause of Women's Liberation.

To use half of the 35% profit
on NSA films to fund educational
programs for Chicanos
(Mexican- Americans).

To get student support for rank
and file workers in labor disputes,
especially concerning mine
workers.

To procure 85,000 signatures
on the Charlottesville Pledge, in
opposition to the morality of the
present draft system as well as
refusal to cooperate with any
such system.

To formulate a peace treaty
between students of North and
South Vietnam and students of
the United States. If approved by
a referendum vote by NSA
member schools, the treaty will
be sent to the United Nations.

To do whatever possible to
eventually see that all junior
college students are guaranteed
admission to four-year
institutions of higher education
upon graduation from an
accredited two year college.

To help collect 10 million
signatures on an Amicus Curiae
brief to be sent to the Supreme
Court to answer questions in the
case of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts vs. Melvin Laird
(the Vietnam Challenge Act).

To overturn the decision by the
Internal Revenue Service that
colleges or college newspapers

which use college facilities and
student money to sponsor
political campaigns will lose their
tax-free status.

To compile and circulate data
on university and college
complicity with corporations
researching and manufacturing
war materials.

To boycott any firm or
organization in league with or

A. A. and Soc. Council react HE grants for
to proposed Activities Board study abroad

by JANICE JOHNSON and TRICIA EDWARDS

Rep Council is in the process of
reorganizing the student
government constitution. A
summary and explanation of this
proposal was presented in last
week's PROFILE.

One of the revisions concerns
the proposed Student Activities
Board which would condense the
workings of Social Council and
Athletic Association into a more
centralized organization. The
duties of the new Student
Activities Board would be
executed by six executive officers
and six members-at-large from
the three upper classes. As this
proposed board would delete AA
and Social Council an evaluation
of these boards' purposes and
activities is necessitated.

Of major concern is whether or
not one board -- the proposed
Student Activities Board - would
be able to handle more
effectively and efficiently the
functions which are now handled
by two boards -- AA and Social
Council. In considering this issue,
Fran Fulton, president of
Athletic Association, and Sherry
Stith, president of the Social
Council were interviewed. They
were asked to state the present
functions of their respective
boards and to give their opinions
concerning the proposal which
would combine AA and Social
Council.

AA

Presently AA is responsible for
duties serving both athletic and
recreational functions. Athletic
duties include intramural sports
such as hockey, tennis, archerty,
swimming, basketball,
badminton, golf and volleyball.

AA's recretational duties
consist of "trying to fix up that
pile of trash in the woods"
(Rogers Cabin). Fran added that
the cabin had the potential for
becoming a place where students
could relax and enjoy themselves.
At the present time the cabin is
used as a date parlor. Keeping the
bicycles and the pool table in
good shape is another concern of
AA. Quarterly campus trips are
sponsored by AA. Fall quarter
there will be a camping trip in
north Georgia, winter quarter
brings a ski trip, and a trip to a
beach is planned for the spring.

During orientation AA spends a
lot of money chartering buses for
tours of Atlanta. During this year
AA hopes to sponsor seminars
and lectures on self-defense and
camping. Lastly, AA tries to help
promote spirit

Fran recognized certain
overlapping activities of the
boards in areas such as service
projects, promoting spirit, and
publicity. According to Fran, the
AA board members after

discussing the report on the
constitutional revisions, agreed
upon the following suggestions as
a more appropriate action in lieu
of the condensing into a more
centralized organization the
workings of social and athletic
associations.

"First of all, negatively
speaking, we feel that such a
condensation places too much
responsibility on a few persons?
that too many committees would
evolve from such an organization
and that an organization vastly
larger and more complicated than
the two separate existing boards
would result. The committee
membership is designed to
depend on volunteer work, but
from our past experience with
petitioning students for AA, we
have found that students
"petition" only when approached
by a teacher or other AA board
members. Consequently, some
students, especially freshmen, are
"put on the spot" to accept even
though they feel it would not be
academically advisable.

If the revisions were accepted,
we foresee an overly complicated
organization of many committees
and members with responsibility
on a few people to coordinate
such an organization. We feel that
our vital concern for a detailed
and effective athletic program
would be slighted -- that the
organization of sports clubs and
intra-murals is a much more
difficult thing than realized and
requires an overlapping attention
for which separate committees
would not provide."

We feel that a more effective
means of coordinating the
overlapping activities of the two
boards would be to create a
separate organization to be in
charge of these overlapping
activities. This organization
would be a committee on
community and campus affairs
and all areas of publicity
involved. This organization would
be in charge of such projects as
AA, CA, and Social Council
undertake on their own each
year. Such things as the cabin and
seminars which AA spends its
time in organizing and preparing
would be up to such a new board.

This new board would be a
central body of publicity capable
of working with the other boards
when specific cooperation is
desired. With such an
organization, the AA board could
be condensed from seventeen to
eleven members whose sole order
of business would be the
coordination of campus athletics
and intramurals, and of course,
campus spirit. Such is the aim of
AA, and thus, with extraneous
activities out of its immediate
hands, the AA board could
concentrate much more
effectively upon providing a
spirited athletic atmosphere for
students' outlet and enjoyment.'

Soc. Council

Sheerry Stith, president of
Social Council, says, "The
purpose of Social Council is to
coordinate the social events of
Agnes Scott and to provide for
the social needs of the campus,
promoting recreation and social
development."

In the past, major activities
have centered around Orientation
and Winter Dance Weekend, with
small social functions scattered
throughout the year. Orientation
Activities include the Fashion
Booklet sent to the freshmen
during the summer, followed by
the Open Hose for freshmen and
parents, a Fashion Show, and the
Formal Reception in the fall.

"Winter Dance Weekend has
been heavily discussed and
evaluated for months, and the
Board has finally decided that the
great amount of time, work and
money spent cannot justify a
function which serves only. a very
small amount of students. We
humbly regret having to give up
our plans for a dance weekend,
but feel that Social Council can
better meet the needs of more
students if we work diligently in
other areas."

In accordance with this, plans
are being made for a Sunday
Coffee House, with invitations
being sent to surrounding schools
and churches. The possibility of
an arts and crafts course in

leather, etc., providing rides to
various Emory and Tech
functions; mixers; speakers on
various topics; and the possibility
of a spring concert or dance.

Sherry's response to the
proposed Student Activities
Board is favorable. " I am
strongly in favor of the creation
of such a board, as it will create
better organization of student
activities and provide for an
adequate dispersal of the budget
according to the necessities of the
activities. One acting board will
be more informative,
coordinating not only the
activities, but campus
communication with the
surrounding area, and provide for
more effective publicity."

Sherry's primary concern of
the new board is the number of
members on the board who will
be carrying on the work that has
required so many in the past. "I
definitely feel that the working
body of the Board (and by this I
mean those members not holding
executive positions) needs to
undergo further study.
Experience has shown that
individual board members get a
job done more quickly and
efficiently than someone outside

of the board. Therefore, the
effectiveness of a somewhat
larger Student Activities Board
needs to be considered."

The Institute of International
Education (ME) is now accepting
applications for grants for
graduate study or research
abroad, and for professional
training in the creative and
performing arts. There will be at
least 554 grants available for the
academic year 1971-72.

Candidates must be U.S.
citizens at the time of
application, have a bachelor's
degree or its equivalent before
the beginning date of the grant,
be proficient in the language of
the host country, and preferable
between the ages of 20 and 35.

Selections will be made on the
basis of academic and/or
professional record, the
feasibility of the applicant's
proposed study plan, Janguage
preparation and personal
qualifications.

Candidates for the creative and
performing arts need not have a
bachelor's degree, but they must
have four years of professional
study or equivalent experience.

A U.S. Government Full Grant
provides the grantee with tuition,
maintenance for one academic
year in one country, round trip
transportation, health and
accident insurance and an
incidental allowance.

Alpha Psi -requested io set
up 7th grade drama club

by BROOKE WILDING

In December, 1968, the Tau
Nu Cast chapter of the national
honorary dramatics fraternity
Alpha Psi Omega, was established
here at Agnes Scott College.

Just what is Alpha Psi Omega?
According to Betheda Fries, Vice-
President of Blackfrairs, it is
primarily an honor organization
whose purpose is to acknowledge
people who have "worked in the
theatre above and beyond the call
of duty." Members are picked on
the basis of a national points
system devised by the Alpha Psi
Omega Fraternity and based on
their participation in dramatic
works.

Tau Nu Cast's officers are:
Mimi Corson (Senior)-President,
Jane Duttenhaver
(Senior) -Vice-President, and
Anne Dillard (Junior)-Secretary
and Treasurer. On Thursday,
October first, at a meeting of the
Blackfriars, Gigi Laughridge
(Sophomore), Kay Schellack
(Senior), and Candy Apple
Holbrook (Junior) were initiated

club for the seventh grade students
who attend this school. The
purpose of this drama club is to
present a different learning
situation for these students. It is
hoped that this club will become
a permanent part of the
curriculum. Meetings will be held
during the regular school session.

Participation on behalf of the
seventh grade will be purely
voluntary. At the end of the year
the sixth grade will be invited to
help in order to give them an idea
as to whether or not they might
be interested in continuing the
club the following year.

Alpha Psi Omega hopes that
the seventh grade students will be
able to present a play both at
their school and here at Agnes
Scott sometime during the end of
the fall quarter. It is also hoped
that Blackfriars will be able to
open their meetings to all the
grades of Collier Heights
Elementary School and to
encourage future dramatic artists
to pursue their art.

Yee Chee Hor from
Peneng to Decatur

by

It would probably be possible
to take any girl on this campus
and write an article about her.
Everyone is, because of their own
individuality, interesting. This
article is intended to introduce
you to one such student. The
student is Yee Chee Hor, a
sophomore who will most
probably major in Chemistry.
One thing that makes Yee Chee
so interesting is that she comes
from a totally different
background and culture than
most of the girls at Scott.

Yee Chee is from a small island
to the northwest of Malaysia
called Peneng. Her home is near
Georgetown in a section called
Ayer Itam.

It's hard enough for any of us
to decide which college to attend.
How do you decide to leave your
own home however and attend a
college in a foreign country?

She wrote to the United States
Information Center and was sent
a list of some 10 to 15 colleges
that were interested in accepting
foreign students. Yee Chee wrote

British system. There are six
years of primary school followed
by six years of high school. Even
after graduation, if one wants to
attend a university two more
years of schooling, called Form 6,
must be taken in high school.

There exist in Malaysia both
English and Chinese schools. Yee
Chee feels that it is better to
attend a Chinese school. There
one could learn to read and write
both English and Chinese, while
in the English school only English
was taught.

Prior to graduation the
students in high school are given
the School Cambridge (SC) exam.
The questions for this exam are
compiled and then graded in
England. This exam above
anything else is the most
important. The score on this
exam is even considered when
one is applying for a job.

The dating customs are in
many ways very different from
those here. Yee Chee said that it
was very seldom that anyone
would have a single date, not at
least until the last year of high

If you're tired of studying in
old, familiar settings day after
day, one of the newest additions
to the Agnes Scott curriculm
could really help you "get away
from it all." You'll have to be
patient until next summer,
though. That's when you can join
the group of Scotties gathering in
Europe for the opening of the
Summer Study in Germany
program.

Courses offered during this first
session include lectures and tours
concerning European art as well
as studies of Germany and the
German language. All art courses
will be taught in English, and
visits to European art centers are
scheduled. Professors Pepe and
Bicknese of the Agnes Scott
faculty will assist the European

Professor Bicknese,
co-ordinator of this program,
visited the University of Marburg
this past summer. He reports that
all necessary arrangements for
housing, instructors, and the like
have been finalized. Rooms will
be available to the Scotties at the
opening of the summer session,
July 15.

According to Mr. Bicknese a
group flight leaving Nassau on
July 1 is tentatively scheduled for
all the participants in the
program. This schedule gives each
girl two weeks in which to
explore Europe in any way she
desires. Mr. Bicknese also
commented that if several
participants express the desire to
tour the continent together for
the two weeks, he and the

University of Marburg
arrange a tour for them.

Any students who want to
attend the study program in
Marburg but are unable to leave
the States on July 1 are still
welcome and encouraged to join
the group. They may fly
independently to Germany just
before the opening classes for
only a small extra charge on air
fare. Classes terminate at Marburg
on August 31, and participants
can return to the States
thereafter as they wish.

This jaunt to Europe will cost
you some money, of course. The
program currently carries a price
tag of $900. This covers the items
of round-trip air transportation
from Nassau, tuition, room and
board. "Pocket money" has not
been estimated, since each

Sen. McCarthy's speech at Ga. State

Reviewing the past and looking ahead

Presented by Lycium Lecture
Series of Georgia State on
Monday, September 28, Senator
Eugene McCarthy marched into a
standing ovation from the
capacity crowd of the small
assembly room.

"Members of the student body
and faculty," the Minnesota
senator began. "We used to
address the faculty first, but we
do things differently now."

Hopefully as an explanation for
the unimpressiveness of his
speech, the tall senator assured
the audience of the fact that
"often the speech is incidental to
the question period."

McCarthy's address was an
attempt to define the office and
essence of the Presidency of the
United States. As a means to
accomplsh this end, the Senator
categorized and commented on
the various administrations from
the time of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt through the present
one of Richard Nixon.

Harry Truman, McCarthy felt,
had the best concept of the office
of president. He "exercised the

by GINGER ROLLINS
full strength of office without
personalizing it too much." The
Senator described Dwight
Eisenhower as not a weak
president, but one of "great
strength in a negative sort of
way."

McCarthy accused John
Kennedy of a disposition to yield
to the pressure of the military as
shown by the increase in rrwlitary
expenditures and outer space
during his term. However, he
added that Kennedy showed real
leadership on the domestic front.

Johnson's administration,
McCarthy pointed out, was more
or less a continuation of
Kennedy's. The Senator did,
however, strongly disapprove of
Johnson's withdrawal from the
last presidential race.

As for Richard Nixon, Senator
McCarthy was rather evasive,
failing to draw any real
conclusions and only repeating
several of the hackneyed jokes
being circulated about the
present administration.

McCarthy then went on to list,

Art and music

by ELLEN W

On Friday, October 9 and
Saturday, October 10, the High
Museum is presenting the first
program in The Kinetic Art/
Series 2. The series presents new
works from leading film makers
and first films from several
newcomers.

Among the films presented in
this first program is S.W.B.
(Gerard Pires, Paris), in which
Gilles, the mod photographer
who likes to quote Faulkner and
wreck police cars, searches for a
girl who can replace his lost
model - Sweet Wounded Bird.
Also in this program will be
Egypte, O Egypte (Jacques
Brissot, written and narrated by
Jean Cocteau), an ode to ancient
Egypt, photographed in color. In
Music with Balls (Terry Riley,
The Dilexi Foundation, San
Francisco), composer Terry Riley
and sculptor Arlo Acton produce
a new kind of music with moving

ILLINGHAM

sculpture. Also presented will be
The Room (Youi Kuri, Tokyo),
in which one of the world's
leading animated film makers

explores what can happen in a
room located in dada space. Four
more films will also be shown.

The total program will last
about 105 minutes. Showings will
be at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Single performance tickets will
cost $1.00 for High Museum
Members and students, and $2.00
general admission.

This Saturday, October 10, the
Atlanta Music Club is presenting
The World of Gilbert and Sullivan
with the stars of D'Oyly Carte
Fame. This performance has been
highly recommended via the
grapevine.

It will be held at Symphony
Hall in the Memorial Arts Center
at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $5.00
each. Reservations might still be
made by calling 873-4071.

as he saw it, five major
responsibilities of the office of
president. First, was the need for
a concept and respect of the
office. Secondly, an effective
president should have a concept
of the relationship he should have
to Congress. A third
responsibility is the president's
respect for the courts.
Specifically, Senator McCarthy
pointed out that the courts
"should not be overburdened
with decisions that should be
made in the Executive branch or

Congress itself." He cited that it
would have been better for the
Executive Branch and Congress
to have originated civil rights
actions rather than the Courts.

A correct understanding of the
function of the political party
and a complete concept of the
relationship of the Federal
government to the state and local
governments were the fourth and
fifth points on McCarthy's list.

At the conclusion of Senator
McCarthy's speech the floor was
opened for a question and
answer period. One of the
Senator's most interesting
responses was to a question posed
about the anti-war demonstration
being planned for October 31.
Although he had nothing against
them, McCarthy said that he felt
that moratoriums and marches
had lost their original
effectiveness.

Concerning the United States
involvement in the Middle East,
Senator McCarthy stated: "If
any, our involvement should be
only with reference to the
hostages, although we have a
moral and legal obligation to help
Israel maintain armaments."

One lady in the audience
proposed that those inclined
toward marching funnel their
energy into working for a peace
candidate like Andrew Young.
McCarthy firmly endorsed this
candidate by urging the audience
to "work as hard as you can for
the election of Andy Young."
Concerning the still fairly distant
presidential election, Senator
McCarthy stated: "I hope to be a
strong force in the '72 elections."

No conservatives?

The PROFILE would like to thank professors Hanson,
Moomaw, and Parry for their efforts to get the campus
interested in the Peace Candidates and the issues involved.
It is fortunate that these professors stepped in to fullfill for
the time being the gap created by student disinterest.

That these professors took it upon themselves to bring
interest in political issues out into the open is to their
credit. But what about the students? Students have had one
structure set up for them through which certain political
views may be expressed. Are there no views to the
contrary?

Certainly our student body is not totally liberal. Is there
no one on campus for the opposing candidates-Blackburn,
Thompson, Suit or are they waiting for someone else to set
up their structure too? Let us hope we do not need the
more conservative members of our faculty to set up the
opposition. The Young Republications is attempting to
organize. Perhaps they could be helped by other students.

How about a debate between students for the
Democratic candidates and students for the Republican
candidates? Much of our student body resides in Georgia
and almost all are voting age. Surely there are two views on
this campus.

To the Editor of the Profile:
I read with interest the article

read it with great care, since I am

admission is a subject of more

the country. Thank you for
compiling an article which is
informative about admission here
as well as elsewhere, and

which points out some of the

that are crucial factors in the

basis the number of freshmen
listed in the college catalogue.
However, the catalogue listing is
an official classification which
places second-year freshmen with
freshmen, third year sophomores
with sophomores, and
fourth-year jur iors with juniors.
This means that any count from

the catalogue is not of first-year
freshmen, but of first and
second-year freshmen. In order
for the box figures to be
comparable, the size for the
current freshmen class should be
given as 221.

Perhaps it is in order for me to
explain that any class lists (other
than first-year freshman) made at
the beginning of teh session are
prepared for registration purposes
and are necessarily unofficial.
They place second-year freshmen
with sophomores, third-year
sophomores with juniors, and
fourth-year juniors with seniors.
They have to be made out in this
way until official classifications
can be finally determined-and
this is not possible until all
incomplete work for the
preceding session is completed,
re-examinations taken, and
summer school credits on file.
Official lists are in process of
completion and will be posted
soon. They man reflect

promotion in some
cases( including second-year
freshmen). Other promotions
may be achieved at the end of the

quarter, so that by the time the
April 1971 catalogue goes to
press, the number of students not
now listed with their appropriate
class will be reduced.

It may be of interest to note
that, while Sturgis cottage is
closed, Bowen has been opened.
There was never any intention to
use Alexander this year or last-it
was scheduled to be torn down
last year, but the unexpectedly
large freshman enrollment in
1969 caused us to use the
building for one more year
(1969-70). Bowen was then
renovated for use this fall. In
spite of this, the upperclassman
demand for singles made it
impossible for me to have my
usual room for overnight stays by
prospective students!

There are other brief comments

that I would like to make:

1. Under factors especially
significant in the filing of
applications here, one reason
given is "Present studies." This
should be "Present students."

2. Mention is made in
paragraph 3 of the large
graduating class of 1969. It
totaled 162, not 150.

3. On page 7 the statement is
made that one girl found nothing
appealing about Agnes Scott, but
liked the snow in Virginia. This
should have read that she found
nothing "unappealing."

Thank you for your attention
to this letter-and for your
interest.

Young Republicans feel that one
reason for this is the lack of
conflict ot opposing ideas. There
has for too long been only one or
no set of political ideas promoted
on campus. This is exemplifeid in
the Peace Campaigner's
Workshop now taking place
under the leadership of Professors
Moomaw, Hanson, and Parry.

To begin to promote the
conservative view the Young
Republicans held their first
meeting on Thursday, October 1.
Earle Johnson, First Vice
Chairman of the State Young
Republican Federation and staff
member of the Fletcher
Thompson for Congress
Campaign introduced a
controversial 30 minute
documentary film on the Black
Panther Movement. The film
featured a 3 minute statement
made by Thompson's opponent
Andrew Young

This was the Republican's first
attempt to provide a different
side to what was being presented
by Mr. Moomaw at the Peace
Candidate's seminar that same
evening.

The PROFILE has started a
column entitled "Student
Opinion". We feel that this will
provide an opportunity for better
communication. As students we
should be aware of other student
opinions.

These opinions and suggestions
should get out into the open
where they can be considered.
Ideas will be taken to the Rep
Council.

What has the Vietnam War done
to American society? Was this war

the cause of, the triggering
incident for or merely one of , _
the factors involved in unrest?

Parry speaks out on
Vietnam and morality

bY Richard Parry, Assistant Professor of Philosophy

At this late date perhaps I
should begin an article with this
title with an apology for even
bringing the subject up. Almost
all parties to the dispute seem to
agree that the war is disagreeable
and that it ought to be ended.
The dispute seems to be over the
manner of ending the war. Since
everyone has agreed to end the
war, perhaps any discussion of its
morality is too late to make any
difference.

However, I believe not. I
believe that how the war is ended
can have a lot to do with one's
beliefs about the morality of the
war. If one believes that the war
is immoral, he will likely want a
fairly definite and swift end to
the war. If, on the other hand,
one believes that the war is not
immoral, but simply
inconvenient, then he is likely to
attempt both to end the war and
to achieve his original objectives.
Such an attempt could lead to an
ending of the war so gradual as to
be indistinguishable from pursuing
the war - except perhaps that
those aspects of the war which
are most divisive at home will be
lessened, e.g., casualties.

In fact, I believe that the Nixon
administration fits the second of
the descriptions I have given. The
administration does not believe
that the war is immoral; it still
believes that the US is doing
something good or important in
Vietnam. But they believe that
the war is inconvenient; so they
are gradually phasing out our
combat troops.

I would like therefore to
present an argument which I
believe would convince a
reasonable person of the
immorality of the war. At the
outset I wish to say that I do not
believe that this argument is the

only argument that can be used.
Nor perhaps is it the most
convincing of the arguments
available. I have chosen to argue
in the manner in which I do argue
because I believe that the
premises 1 choose can be
subscribed to without going too
far out of the mainstream of
opinion in this country.

The premises of the argument
do not make it necessary to make
the US into a neo-colonial power
with economic interests in
Vietnam. Nor into an
international villain with hatred
for all little countries. These
emotion-packed issues are left
our of consideration; no blame is
assessed and no motives are
mentioned. Nor do I argue for
the absolute evil of war.

I offer two distinct versions of
the argument.

Proposal I

The first version is as follows
and concerns two points.

(1) we are fighting for a
n o n - r es p o n s i v e military
dictatorship in this war.

(2) we are ignoring our
domestic obligations by
confusing our priorities.

If these are true then I want to
maintain that this war is wrong.
It is wrong to ignore injustice at
home in the effort to maintain in
power a non-responsive military
dictatorship.

In reference to (1): it is wrong
in general to support military
dictatorships which suppress
freedom of the press, do not
reflect the needs and wishes of
the people, hold political
prisoners, etc. One might make a
case that even this must be
tolerated when the alternative is

worse for the people involved.
But in the present case, the
Saigon regime is not
demonstrably better than the one
that might take its place if it were
to be overcome by the North.

In reference to (2): the
domestic obligations talked about
are not simply a question of self
seeking prudence. By not
reordering our priorities at home
we are continuing injustice here
which we would be more likely
to eliminate if we were not
involved in Vietnam.

Proposal II

The second version of the
argument concerns three points.

(1) We are fighting for a
non-responsive military
dictatorship in this war.

(2) We are destroying ourselves
by alienating our best youth and
confusing our priorities.

(3) We are destroying the
country of Vietnam.

This argument takes a slightly
different form from I. The
difference depends upon (2). In
this argument, (2) does not claim
any injustice is being done by
confusing our priorities. It simply
refers to the overall damage being
done by confusing our priorities.
I enter it here because it seems to
me easier to defend thatn 1(2),
although 1(2) is not by any means
indefensible.

The argument states than that
it is wrong to destroy ourselves at
home and to destroy Vietnam in
the effort to maintain in power a
corrupt military dictatorship. The
form of the argument is that it is
wrong to destroy something good
in the process of bring about an
immoral result. Of course ,

however, that if America had to

American citizens were put into

Today I arrived at the Convent

Darrow Long

Darrow, in attending Emory
law school, finds Scott gave her
an excellent preparation in
"learning how to study and how
to sit in the library for long
hours." Her English major, with
its stress on humanities and
communicating ideas to others, is
to her the best background for
law. Even certain courses she felt
were unnecessary are coming all
together. "Sitting through Bible
even helped. When we discuss
theology in politics, at least I
know what they're talking
about."

Work load for the Emory law
student is "unbelievable."
Darrow gets three to four hours
of sleep seven days a week, but

believes it's worth it. Students
take over the class with
arguments on the material they
have studied "all night" before.
The professor mainly guides
them. The atmosphere varies
greatly from Scott. Darrow says,
"I have to do the work, but I
want to do it."

Greater diversity of people
highlights law school. Not only
are greater numbers from New
York and California, but
background experiences,
including Peace Corps, previous
careers, and university life vary
more.

Darrow is thrilled about law

In her class ten out of 160 are
girls. In spite of the low
percentage, a second year holds
the highest average.

interests her, but the most
enjoyable asset is the contact
with people. "It's just marvelous!
People are so funny. They really
get excited about their trips."

Sharon's interviewer looked for
a quick, personable individual
interested in travel and dealing
with people. He termed Scott a
"good school." Sharon feels he
meant academically. "People in
Atlanta, although not awestruck,
respect the Scott graduate.

finishing school or home of

Although not actively using her
B.A., Sharon benefits from it.
"Most important of all things at

Sharon would like to go to grad

fulfilled my major, there are so
many gaps." However, she feels
strongly that she should be
mature enough to take full
advantage of it. "I don't want to

alone would make fighting the
war bad; but destroying
something good in doing so is
even worse.

These arguments, of course,
can work only if the factual
premises are true. I am only
maintaining in this article that if
the premises are true then the
conclusion about the immorality
of the war is true also. However, I
believe that there is a great deal
of evidence for the truth of all
the premises I have mentioned.

I will cite some in passing.

1(1) and 11(1): There is much
evidence that the Saigon regime is
really a non-responsive military
dictatorship. It is the case that
there is press censorship, that
there are political prisoners --this
means people who are nothing
more than obnoxious to the

regime, including, of course, one
of the candidates from the last
presidential election. Further
there is evidence that the policies
of the Saigon government are
designed solely to insure the
continuance in power of the few
men who lead the government.

Of course, the first thing that
one thinks of in answer to this is
the elections. It would seem that
since the Saigon government
conducted its elections for
President and Congress that the
government is really
representative. However, no one
maintains that the constitution
adopted by the Saigon
government is designed to do
anything but perpetuate in power
the military clique that has
always run the country. Nor does
anyone maintain that the

PROFILE

elections were genuine free
elections. The candidates were all
carefully screened beforehand.
Some candidates for President
were kept out of the country.
Moreover, not only were
communists not allowed to run,
but even neutralist, i.e., people
who wanted to neutralize
Vietnam, were not allowed to
run. In effect, in order to run one
had to be either a member of the
military or to endorse the policies
of the military.

I (2) This premise is not itself
simply a factual premise as all the
others purport to be. In order to
establish the truth of this
premise, one would have to be
able to argue that the present
arrangement of priorities is
actually unjust for some of the
citizens of the US. While I believe
that this can be done, I do not
have space here to do so.

Volunteers needed to help

The Literacy Action Program is
a project that teaches adults and
children to read and write. This
project will be established in two
phases on our campus. Girls who
have been trained in the Laubach
method will tutor Scott
employees who need help in
reading or writing as well as
children from the Second Avenue
School who are brought to
campus by bus.

A Literacy Action Workshop
will be held during three evening

sessions on Monday, November 2,
Wednesday, November 4, and
Monday, November 9, for those
who would like to tutor and
haven't had the training. The
three sessions train people in the
Laubach Reading Method and all
three must be attended. The time
is from 7:00 to 9:30 and the
method will be taught by
Literacy Action of Atlanta.
Materials for both the workshop
and the tutoring will be provided
by C.A. The actual teaching of

reading will take about two hours
a week.

The DeKalb-Rockdale Training
Center is a public training center
for severely and moderately
retarded people from the ages of
four to forty- four. The Center
trains the children and adults in
the areas of communication and
language, self-care, socialization,
physical fitness, community
living, and work concepts. The
Center needs volunteers in all
phases of their program. Mrs.
Oreta Cook, director of the
Center, wants volunteers from
Scott to do special work in the
tutoring of individual children
and assisting the teachers in the
classrooms.

She also would like people in
art, in music, and in recreation.

"Mentally retarded children
love new people and are very
responsive to individual care and
attention. I don't want large
numbers involved in the projects.
I care about some sincerely
interested people getting involved
with these children and really
doing something," comments Dea
Taylor, project director.

The Center is about ten
minutes from Scott and
transportation will be provided

hand, amole evidence that we are
destroying ourselves at home.
The campus riots tell us about
the disposition of youth. The
rising crime rate is just one
indication that our priorities are
arranged in a dangerous manner.
More federal money could be
spent to help ghetto residents to
escape, to curb the traffic in hard
drugs, and to foster those
programs which will bring
reconciliation to a land torn
asunder. All these things would
contribute signifanctly to the
halting of our national decay.

At this point, one might object
that even if all these things were
true, it still would be all right to
pursue the war because there is a
more important goal involved.
This more important goal would
justify all the other evils put
together. I will try to mention
some goals which are often
mentioned as being such
justifications: (a) the prevention
of a Communist takeover in
Vietnam, (b) the preservation of
the international reputation or
position of the US, and (c) the
securing of the right of
self-determination of the
Vietnamese oeoole.

I believe that I have handled (a)
in a previous paragraph. That is
to say, it is not at all clear that a
Communist takeover in Vietnam
will be any worse for the people
than the present Saigon
government. As for (b), I do not
intend to argue for the
proposition that it is wrong for a

country to destroy another
country in the effort to keep in
power in that country a
non-responsive military
dictatorship all for the
international reputation or
position of the first country. If
that proposition is not clear, then
no elementary moral judgment is
clear.

However, (c) is perhaps the
most difficult to answer. My first
reaction is to deny that we are in
fact fighting for the self-
determination of the Vietnamese
people by fighting for the Saigon
regime - and it is crystal clear that
the Nixon administration now
has us fighting for not just the
Saigon regime but Thieu and Ky
personally. However, such an
argument depends upon a
prediction that one will not
secure free elections by fighting
to establish Thieu and Key in
power, and is therefore
proportionately weak, although
by no means therefore worthless.

Let us suppose even that the
US might be able to hold free
elections for the Vietnamese
people, even after having shored
up the Thieu-Ky military regime
- something which seems very
remote to some observers. Is the
good of providing free elections
for the Vietnamese people to be
preferred to the social injustice
tolerated at home in the
meantime as well as the
destruction of the countryside of
Vietnam in the effort to maintain
in power a non-responsive
military dictatorship? I believe
not.

While I do not pretend that the
action of the US on its kindest of
readings is easy to condemn,
nevertheless I believe that on the
balance it cannot be justified. To
handle only one of the reasons
just raised, I do not believe that
the good of free elections, as
remote as they are, can outweigh
what we are doing to the
Vietnamese countryside by way
of bringing it under the
hegemony of Saigon. And I might
be willing to admit that even the
ravaging of the countryside in the
effort to consolidate the country
under a dictatorship might be
possibly excused by moral men if
there was anything like a
consensus among the people
about their willingness to suffer
all this destruction and
suppression for the eventual good
of free elections.

However, it is my considered
opinion that the people in the
countryside do not think their
suffering worth the promise of
eventual free elections -- not the
least of the reasons for this
attitude might well be that they
have never enjoyed the luxury of
free elections.

In conclusion then, we cannot
(a) ignore our obligations at
home, (b) destroy Vietnam, (c)
in the effort to shore up a
non-responsive military
dictatorship in Saigon all for the
sake of eventual and remote free
elections if the people whose
country is being destroyed and
whose freedoms are being
suppressed in Vietnam are not
willing to pay that price.

As a postscript, let me say that
I do not consider this article as
necessarily definitive. I welcome
any discussion that any reader
would like to institute on this
topic.

School lures veterans

School enrollments among
Vietnam veterans increased
during fiscal year 1970 by an
unprecedented 31 per cent over
the previous year, bringing the
total number of enrollee in
Veterans Administration training
programs to 1,21 1,000.

"If the trend continues,"
Administrator of Veterans Affairs
Donald E. Johnson
p red ic ted, "more veterans
will have trained during the
first five years of the current G.I.
Bill than during the 13-year span
of the Korean Conflict G.I. Bill."

Growing fastest among the

many programs to encourage
veterans, their survivors and
servicemen on active duty to
continue their education or job
preparation is on-the-job training,
with a jump of 76 pe cent over
the 1969 enrollment. Some
117,000 veterans enrolled during
1970 in the programs under
which veterans who work in
approved training positions
receive VA allowances during the
training period

Included in this year's
enrollment are 87,100 servicemen
on active duty attending colleges
and schools below college

New hope for addicts

"Addiction in a broad sense, by
which I mean a harmful
dependence on chemicals, is one
of our most urgent contemporary
health problems. When this,
dependence is extensive enough
to be harmful and strong enough
to be uncontrolled, it can
eventually destroy all other
interests and activities-family,
business, social, or community,"
writes Dr.R. Gordon Bell in the
preface of his new book Escape
from Addiction (McGraw-Hill,
$5.95).

After 24 years of experience
working with the problem of
addiction, Dr. Bell is optimistic.
He states: "By calling this book
Escape from Addiction, I am
trying to emphasize that the
hope for recovery and that the
days of stigma- laden labels for
chemical dependence of whatever
kind are being left behind."

The author is the president of
the Donwood Institute which
operates a 50- bed hospital for
addiction treatment, education,
and research in Toronto, Canada.

Much of the material in this
authoritative, 224 page book is
based on the comprehensive
program of reiiauiiitation and
treatment presently used by the
institute.

This provocative study provides
full coverage on the effects of
alcohol, as well as a review of the
effects of narcotics and other
addicting drugs. It investigates
the clinical and social problems
of addiction, giving equal
attention to the physical, mental,
and social components. Escape
from Addiction will prove a
valuable, thought-provoking aid
for anyone concerned with the
health and social questions
resulting from the excessive or
compulsive use of alcohol,
tobacco, food, and a wide
assortment of depressant and
stimulant drugs.

Divided into 16 chapters which
are grouped into two major parts,
this useful work first examines
the various facts of addiction and
follows with suggested methods
of escape from such bondage.
The first part, "Addiction",
presents an orientation for the
reader to the clinical and social
problems arising from complex
addiction disorders. The second
part, "Escape," deals with the
treatment program presently used
by the Donwood Institute. A
three-phase program, this
treatment extends over a
minimum period of one year.
Following a detailed discussion of
each of thn three phases, the
author makes suggestions
concerning the organization of
community resources for more
complete and successful
treatment programs.

Dr. R.Gordon Bell, in addition
to being president of the
Donwood Institute, is Special
Lecturer to the Faculty of
Medicine, University of Toronto.
He is a member of the
Professional Advisory Board,
Alcoholism and Drug Addiction
Research Foundation of Toronto.
He also acts as consultant to the
Department of Corrections for
Ontario and to the American
Association Against Addiction.
He has been featured in four
educational films on chemical
addiction.

A 29 percent growth was noted
in the number of disabled
veterans training under vocational
rehabilitation programs, bringing
the total to 24,500 veterans in
such VA-supervised programs.

There were 52,500 wives,
widows and children of
permanently and totally disabled
or deceased veterans receiving
educational assistance. This was a
14 per cent increase over last

U.S. deaths in the Indochina war

according to latest figures from
the U.S. Department of Defense.
This includes 43,568 deaths
"resulting from action from
hostile forces," and 8,493 from
other causes, such as helicopter
accidents. 1 14,096 Saigon

Parental drinking may be
inked to child drug use

High school students who have
seen their mothers intoxicated
have a significantly greater
tendency to be drug users than
those who have not.

This is one of the conclusions
reached in a survey published in
October's SCIENCE DIGEST
conducted by two Port
Washington, N.Y., high school
students among 1,416 of their
classmates.

The 47

question

Of students who had seen at
least one parent have more than
two or three drinks at a sitting,
16 per cent had used LSD more
than twice. Only 7 per cent of
those who had seen a parent
drink less than two or three
drinks at a time used LSD.

Use of tranquilizers or sleeping
pills by parents also significantly
increased the chances that the
student was a drug user according
to the survey. Even parental
smoking is linked to student drug

Send
a letter
to North Vietnam.

Right now hundreds of Americans are
being held captive in North Vietnam.

A few prisoners have made it back. They
talk about bamboo cages. Vicious beatings.
Malnutrition. Humiliation.

But the North Vietnamese will tell us
nothing. And it's this silence that makes our
appeal more urgent.

For the families at home, there is no
word on who's alive. Who's dead. Or even
who's being held. There is nothing. Except
the anguish of not knowing.

Maybe you can change this. By writing
to the one man who can change it: The Presi-
dent of North Vietnam.

Ask him to release the names of prison-
ers, allow them to write to their families,
and let the Red Cross inspect the prisons to

insure proper medical treatment and living
conditions.

Remind him that he is bound by the
1949 Geneva Convention which his country
signed. And by the Istanbul resolution.

North Vietnamese leaders do care about
American public opinion. And if they think
they can gain something by bowing to it,
they will.

But one letter won't do it. Or a thousand.
Maybe it will take millions. So we've got to
write now. All of us. And often.

Write a letter tonight. And send it to:
Office of the President, Democratic Repub-
lic of Vietnam, Hanoi, North Vietnam.

It'll cost you a quarter. But it might save
a life.

Maybe they'll open it.

Dying Hub?

Individual students as well as a committee on campus
(C.A.P.) have been showing concern lately over the plight
of our bookstore.

Last summer, as a stop-gap measure, one wall of the
bookstore was knocked out, thus allowing a few more
square feet of space. Rather inconveniently, the storage
space was moved to Presser. At least the space the
bookstore does manage to have is used efficiently.

On the other hand, the Hub is the most inefficiently used
space on campus. During the day, the building remains
virtually empty. Parties, such as the Coffee House and
traditional Hub parties, manage to attract a small
percentage of the campus, but actually could be held in
other rooms on campus provided for recreation.

So why don't we give the dying Hub a shot in the arm?
The most feasible way of doing this would be to move the
bookstore over to the Hub. Not only would this give the
bookstore the room it needs, but also the Hub would
become a vital building on campus once again.

This is a matter for every student to consider. C.A.P.
already has been studying the problem and would like very
much to see this move take place.

Shumake talks peace

hv MARIANNE BRADLEY

Dr. Frankl
Democratic congressional
candidate from the Fourth
District, met with about thirty
Scott students and faculty
members in the faculty club on
Tuesday night. The candidate
talked about his campaign and his
position on major issues for
about ten minutes, and then
invited questions from the group.

Dr. Shumake stated that he
really enjoyed the campaign,
because it offered a chance to
meet people from all walks of
life: senior citizens, college
students, high school students,
blacks, whites, the affluent the
poor, etc. He stated a belief in
walking the middle of the road;
middle of the road, that is, in the
sense of following the ideas of
the "middle American" as
opposed to left or right-wing
extremists.

Dr. Shumake said that his
major interest in this campaign is
the human side. He believes that
this country must reconsider its
priorities, emphasizing domestic
issues such as education, housing,
medical care, and opportunities
for senior citizens and youth,
while de-emphasizing spending
for war, defense, and space. He
recognized that a certain amount
of expenditure for defense and
space is necessary, but that they

Five point

peace
initiative

by PATRICIA McGUIRE

In case you were unable to
watch Nixon's address and were
also unable to read about it in the
"Constitution," a summary of
Nixon's address to the nation will
be presented. He announced a
five point Peace Initiative. His
major proposals are as follows:

1) All armed forces throughout
Indo China would cease firing
their weapons and remain in the
position they now hold. Under
this cease fire it was stated that
the terms would be supervised
internationally, neither side could
use the cease fire to build up
their forces. All kinds of warfare
would stop, it would affect all of
Indo China, and there would thus
be a general move to end the war.

2) An Indo China peace
Conference would be set up.

3) Negotions would be made
for the complete withdrawal of
United States forces as a part of
an overall settlement.

4) All nations would be
involved in the search for
political settlement.

5) There would be immediate
and unconditional release of all
war prisoners held on both sides.

This briefly summarizes the
major points Nixon proposed in
his speech.

To the Editor:

I hope that at least one of the
several student and faculty
committees now studying issues
relating to the question of
academic excellence at ASC will
consider the two propositions
stated below - propositions which
are related to this question and
which appear currently to be
underemphasized.

1. It is increasingly important

small liberal arts colleges that
they arrange for their students to

burden of inflation.

The question and answer
period focused mainly on the
differences between Shumake
and his opponent, Ben
Blackburn. Dr. Shumake said that
one of the main points of division
between himself and Blackburn is
the war. Dr. Shumake feels that
the United States should admit
that it is wrong to remain in
Vietnam, and get out as soon as
possible. He said that he and
Blackburn also disagree on such
issues as thy importance of funds
for education, priorities in the
budget, and use of student
support.

After Dr. Shumake left,

the group spent a few minutes
discussing their opinions of the
candidate. Everyone who
commented was favorably
impressed.

Several other candidates were
invited to the meeting, but for
various reasons were unable to
come. Attempts are still being
made to arrange meetings with
these other men.

basics

by LYNN LASSITER

With the upcoming elections on
November 3, 1970, it was felt
that a general review of the
political picture might be helpful.
Test your recall (or your
ignorance) by answering the
following questions:

2) How many Senators are
running for office?

3) Scott has expressed interest
in the fourth and fifth district
congressional races through peace
talks sponsored by Professors
Moomaw, Hanson and Parry, and
through civic discussions under
the auspices of the Young
Republicans Club. Who are the
four candidates running?

4) Who are the two main
candidates in the Georgia
Gubernatorial race? Who is
running in the Lieutenant -
Governor race?

elections?

students. If the diversity of the
social and cultural backgrounds
found in the student body
increases, then (it is reasonable to
assume) the depth and value of
this kind of educational
experience increases. Therefore,
we should consider enrolling
more Black students and consider
becoming a co-educational
institution.

Black Cat

by SUSAN PROPST

One of the oldest traditions on
the Agnes Scott campus will be
observed October 16. Black Cat,
which began in 1915 as a Stunt
Night between the freshmen and
sophomores, now marks the end
of orientation and the official
recognition of the freshman class
as a part of the campus
community.

Dr. Mary Sweet, college
physician from 1908-1937,
suggested it as a means to
eliminate the rough hazing of the
freshmen. She felt that "a battle
of wits rather than a battle of
fists" would tone down the
rivalry between classes and save
on clothes, tempers and health.
The day was named in honor of
Ker pet black cat.

Until 1950, each of the two
lower classes produced a stunt for
competition attended by the
student body and the faculty.
The class that won was awarded a
small replica of a black cat to
keep for the year. A ribbon with
a small bell was placed around
the cat's neck with the graduating
year of the class on the ribbon.
Later, the winning class received
an initialed silver bell which was
permanently placed on a chain
around the cat's neck. A class
winning for two years was
awarded a gold bell the second
time. This cat was placed in
Inman, which was considered the
freshman dorm, and was used
until its disappearance around
1957.

In 1950, Stunt Night was
changed to Community Day
because of the bitter hostility
between the freshmen and
sophomores. Competition took
the form of a drama production.
The Agnes Scott College News of
September 27, 1950 explained
this new Black Cat day as a day
that "the cat can be not only a
symbol that a new class has
become a unit, but that the entire
college has reknit itself into a
working whole."

These earlier Community Days
were similar to recent ones but
were organized somewhat
differently. In the afternoon,
there were hockey games,

swimming and archery matches
and faculty races, followed by a
chicken picnic supper. The
program at night consisted of a
faculty skit and a talent and song
contest between the upper classes
and the freshmen.

In 1951, the central part of the
evening program was a skit with
minstrel cats and in 1952 one
all-inclusive skit came into being
using members of all classes.

Class mascots are a more recent
innovation. No one seems to
know how they started - they
"just occurred." The mascots
seem to have originated in 1954.
Around this time, the gym suits
were changed from a one-piece
outfit to shorts and a blouse. The
following classes adopted
separate colors for each year and
mascots have evolved to
correspond with each class's
colors.

On Saturday, October 10, and
Sunday, October 11, Piedmont
Park was the scene of a Women's
Festival, organized and promoted
by Women's Lib of Atlanta. The
Festival, according to the "Great
Speckled Bird," was designed to
promote the women's lib
movement and include "music,
poetry, plays, painting, dance,
photography, quilting, crafts,
karate, and fun."

The arts and crafts were
exhibited all day at the Festival
and did in fact include painting,
photography, quilting, and crafts,
but very little of it. Three
photographers exhibited their
work, two of whom were Helen
Roach and Josie Caldwell, former
Agnes students.

Approximately five artists were
represented. Only one small
display each of pottery, quilts,
weaving, and miscellaneous crafts
was exhibited. The idea of
displaying women's creative
talents was good indeed, but
unfortunately the arts and crafts
exhibit at the Festival was, in my
opinion, more of a detriment
than an asset: for a city the size
of Atlanta the quantity of arts
and crafts works by women was
incredibly small and the quality
generally mediocre or poor.

The days' events began with a

musicians at the Festival and
bellowed and sang (?) into the
microphone for feminine rights.

Unfortunately, for Women's
Lib as well as females in Atlanta a
black Fern Lib member was not
present and possibly most woeful
was the nearly complete absence
of well-educated, articulate
Women's Lib members.

The Women's Festival was
obviously very disappointing as it
was poorly organized,
haphazardly conducted and a
not-so-meritous exhibition of
women and their talents or
capabilities. In addition,
somehow the plays and poetry

were omitted. This is BAD and
the Atlanta Women's Lib needs
help: extra hands, guts, money
and most of all brains!

Fortunately Women's Lib
endorses the liberalization of
abortion laws, easy access for all
to effective birth control
measures, research in
contraceptive measures for men
and women, equal pay for equal
work among men and women,
and the release of women from
the trad i t i onal role of
subservient, domestic, wife and

LamarDoddwas born and raised
in Georgia. After receiving his
professional training at the Art
Students League of New York
and studying under George Luks
and Charles Martin, he returned
to the South. His early subjects
were local scenes and some figure
objects.

In 1937, Mr. Dodd joined the
faculty of The University of
Georgia and became head of the
art department within a year.

The summers of the late 40' s
spent on the Maine coastal island
of Monhegan bring about a new
phase in Mr. Dodd's work. His
paintings are simplified,
concentrating on essentials. This
was his first step away from
naturalistic landscapes to more
emphasis on design. These
paintings of Monhegan possess a

can be seen especially after his

educator. Further trips followed,
usually on assignment with the
State Departments and extended
as cultural ambassador to Asia.

His resulting foreign-inspired
subjects replaced naturalistic
detail with a transformed and
freer form in color and design.

But it is about his most recent
Apollo and orb studies that Mr.
Dodd seems to be the most
excited. In 1963, he was among
seven invited by the National
Aeronautics and Space
Administration to record the
manned orbital flight of Gordon
Cooper and invited again in July
1969, this time with fifty
participating to help record the
Apollo moon mission. These
artists were asked for their visual
response to this history in the
making.

The resulting painting, the
boldest and perhaps most
impressive works of Mr. Dodd,
affront the visitor upon entering
the front doors of the High
Museum. In this series Mr. Dodd
does not merely record, but he
produces a penetrating visual
interpretation of man's
exploration in space. His studies
of the orb and space seem to
radiate especially with his use of
gold and silver leaf.

Ralph Nader
at Emory

Ralph Nader is speaking at
Emory University this Sunday,
October 18 at 8: 15 p.m. in Glenn
Memorial. There will be a general
admission fee of $1.00 charged at
the door.

Ralph Nader first began his
attack on the auto industry,
engineering group, and
government agencies in 1965
with his book "Unsafe at Any
Speed." In this book Nader lists
various unsafe features in cars
and attacks the large auto
manufacturers for not
incorporating in their car designs
various safety features and
antipollution devices.

Nader's interest is not only in
the automobile safety field. He
has been influential in the passage
of several other important federal
laws. Some of these acts are The
Wholesome Meat Act of 1967,
the Radiation Control for Health
and Safety Act of 1968, and the
Federal Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act of 1969.

Facts about endowments

Endowments and financial gifts
made to Agnes Scott College
provide not only an important
part of the Coll ege's
existence -they are a vital basis
for its survival. How the hundreds
of different types of endowments
and gifts originate, are
incorporated into the
organization of Scott, and are
used by the college should be a
topic of interest and concern to
anyone at Scott.

Sources for outside funds can
be found everywhere. Money
comes to Scott primarily through
what the Summer, 1970 issue of
the Agnes Scott "Alumnae
Quarterly" calls "The Agnes
Scott Fund," which is"composed
of all contributions to the college
within a given fiscal year. July

1-June 30."

The magazine conveniently
divides the contributions into
two categories. "Unrestricted
gifts," or those which can be used
by the college for immediate
expenses in any way it sees fit,
become listed as "Annual
Funds." The other fund contains
gifts with designated purposes
and is labeled the "Capita,
Fund." Money in this fund
becomes a part of the
endowment fund of the college.

Alumnae, parents and friends,
foundations, and business and
industry can and do contribute to
both funds.

The "Alumnae Quarterly"
indicates that donations to the
Annual Fund outnumber the

proceeded up the stairs to the
third floor.

Once on the floor, the group
followed the normal pattern for a

were unoccupied at the time were

Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities

Georgia Abortions

by JANICE JOHNSTON and CATHY PIDGEON

Legislation concerning abortion
laws has been changing, especially
in the past three years. Since
'.19 7, thirteen states have
adopted more liberal abortion
laws.

Last March Hawaii's Senate
approved a bill that would allow
any woman to have an abortion.
The major restriction imposed by
the new Hawaiian law is that to
obtain an abortion a woman must
have lived in the state for at least
90 days.

This past spring the nation's
most liberal abortion law was
passed by the New York
legislature. Since July, 16,000
hospital abortions have been
reported in that state.

An article appearing in
"Newsweek" (April 13, 1970)
gave many reasons for the current
legislature and judicial attacks on
abortion laws. According to the
article, about one million illegal
abortions are performed in the
U.S. annually. Such operations
take an estimated 500 to 1,000
lives each year. The abolition of
the oppressive abortion laws is
one of the basic goals of the
Women's Liberation Movement.
The magazine stated that some
sociologists viewed the abortion
movement as a way of improving
the quality of life for more
Americans since one in five
families receiving federal and
state aid is headed by an unwed
mother. Others view abortion as
another way to control the
population growth in the world.

Swift changes in abortion
activity have taken place in
Georgia also. "The Atlanta
Journal" (Oct. 5, 1970) pointed

out that now almost any woman
determined to have an abortion
and who can pay several hundred
dollars can get one legally, either
in Georgia or by going to New
York or California. An illegal, but
apparently safe, abortion can be
obtained by flying to good
Mexican clinics scouted out by
the Problem Pregnancy
Counseling Service.

Abortion laws have been the
subject of intense and continued
debate in Georgia. Attempts to
reform the state's 1968 abortion
law, which was considered liberal
when it was passed, have been
made in the legislatures.

The abortion law of 1968
permitted abortion only in cases
of rape or in cases where serious,
permanent damage to the fetus or
to the mother's physical or
mental health would be expected
if the pregnancy continued.

Last August, a three-man
federal court here struck down as
unconstitutional the above
sections of the 1968 law.

At the present, a Georgia
woman may receive a legal
abortion if she is a legal resident
of Georgia, and if she has valid
social, economic, or personal
reasons. She rnust then request her
abortion to a physician who
confirms that she is a legal
resident of Georgia and who
examines her. His report is then
passed to two other physicians
who must decide if her abortion
is necessary. If approved, the
abortion is to be performed in a
hospital licensed for such after
approval of a committee of the
medical staff.

important responsibility. It
depends on you for this country
to survive." This sums up
Gregory's entire rap.

He compared America to a
one-room kitchenette, which
contains a tea-kettle full of
boiling, exploding water. He
accuses his own generation
(middle-aged) for "repressing"
the kids of today. Looking at his
audience, he pleaded, "You've
got a mess to clean-up. It requires
a certain kind of wisdom, cool,
and understanding."

Gregory spent a long time on a
story of the American cowboy.
He used it as an allegory to point
out the American nature of
killing off Injuns. The Injun
represented various minority
groups of the past.

"On May 4, 1970 the great
white fathers found a new Injun
to pick on." Gregory feels that
college students form a new
oppressed group in America,
since Kent State. He urges college
students to solve the problem by
morality, honesty, and love. His
speech ended with a standing
ovation.

Reverend Telford, who is
married and has two sons, has
held previous pastorates at

in Charlottesville, Virginia and

On November 4, 5 and 6,
Professor Irvin Ehrenpreis of the
University of Virginia will pay a
lecture visit to the Agnes Scott
campus.

Professor Ehrenpreis, who
graduated from City College in
New York, received a PhD in
Education from Columbia
University. Presently, he holds
the Commonwealth chair at the
University of Virginia.

Professor Ehrenpreis is the
author of what is to be a three
volume definitive critical
biography of Jonathan Swift.
However, Professor Ehrenpreis'
main address will not be on
Swift. Rather, it will be based on
his second field of study,
American Poetry.

Thursday night, November 5,
Professor Ehrenpreis will speak
on "The Life Styles of American
Poets." In the Friday chapel on
November 6, the title of his talk
will be, "Can an Augustan be
Feminine." This talk is based on
a long final lecture Professor
Ehrenpreis gave in 1969 at the
Clark Library Seminars in
California,

The subject matter concerns
Jonathan Swift's ideas on women
and the education of women.
This is a study of actual letters
that Swift wrote to young ladies

Apology

Nader names problems

U, riMPCD DAI I IKIO JL

Sunday night, October 18,
Ralph Nader spoke to a capacity
crowd in the Glenn Memorial
Auditorium on Emory University
campus.

True to his usual subject, Mr.
Nader announced that his topic
would concern problems in the
domestic consumer area and
finally the role students can play
in consumer protection.

The first fifteen minutes of
Nader's talk was devoted to a
history of his work and the
reasons why his work is
necessary. Then he cited recent
events such as the Penn Central
crisis explaining how government
subsidies were being transferred
into a kind of corporate
socialism. Even though the Penn
Central has been thwarted, Nader
charged that despite their six
billion dollar land assets, the
failing railroad company had
tried to procure a welfare grant
from Washington.

Mr. Nader's main line of attack
was leveled on the coropration, as
he cited what he believed to be
loopholes carved out by the
corporate powers in the name of
existence.

Targets were many and varied.
Price fixing was a major
complaint of Mr. Nader. Even
more than the mere price fixing,

Nader pointed out that the
corporate powers forced to pay
damages because of this fixing
conspiracy are able to deduct
from their taxes these damages as
normal business expenses.

Consumer fraud, such as
shoddy merchandise, broken
warranties, misleading labels and
sex-appeal advertising, is also a
serious concern of Nader. Water
and air pollution was still another
topic upon which he touched.
Failure of large oil companies to
pay property taxes, while the
community in which they are
located starves from lack of
revenues, is another one of
Nader's concerns.

According to Nader, "No
person is safe from General
Motors." As the evening
progressed, however, one could
easily feel that no person is
safe -period. Name calling was
not beneath Nader's approach as
he singled out GM for polluting
as well as cheating the consumer,
Union Corporation of Savannah,
Ga., for polluting with no
attempt to remedy the situation,
Union Carbide for mass
pollution, American Cyanamid
and all the oil companies for
water pollution, drug companies
for false advertising and illegal
sales and many members of the
food industry for fraud and false

by GINGER ROLLINS

advertising.

The major portion of his
speech being taken up by these
espositions, Nader then went on
to say how every student can
have a role in the protection of
the consumer and the fight
against pollution. Nader stated:
"No longer can there be
incompatibility between the
student role and the citizen role."
He went on to say, concerning
the consumer-environmental
issue, "Schools are just not up to
the task of explaining empirical
reality to students, for some
reason."

Nader's idea for student
organization begins on the
individual school and university
level, to the city or regional level
and finally up to the state-wide
level. Nader feels that if each
student gave yearly four dollars,
the group as a whole would be
able to hire a whole staff of
professional workers (doctors,
lawyers, engineers, ecology
experts, etc.) a full time
professional firm equivalent to a
sixty-man corporation.

The purpose of this student
controlled organization would be
to investigate failings (such as the
F.T.C.), corporate deceptions and
pollutive hazards. Nader felt that
students could have "power
which will rehsape and change

institutions that are not doing
their job. Initiatory democratic
power would be in the hands of
the student."

As students in the South,
Nader pointed out an immediate
cause a student corporation here
might adopt. He cited the fact
that because the South is not so
industrially oriented and
organized, it is easier to exploit
and big corporations are simply
running to get down here. Over
75% of all pesticides produced
are used in the South. This is one
of the most dangerous of all
forms of pollution. Referring to
the South's relatively clean air,
waters and wooded areas, Mr.
Nader warned, "The South is
fixing to lose that for which it
was once unique."

Nader pointed out again that
college students would only be
taxing themselves four dollars a
year for these action groups. "In
effect," he added, "this only
means giving up Saturday night
beer money. If students can't do
this then they can be associated
with the rhetoric builders- -those
who talk and don't act."

After this speech, all interested
students were urged to come to
the court room of the law
building at Emory in order to get
organized. For the present, most
of the organization will center

around Emory and then
hopefully branch out into other
schools and universities in the
area.

At this meeting, Nader stressed
the fact that these groups should
not be bogged down or
concerned with student problems
such as the draft or inter-school
problems. "This is not a defensive
group for students. Rather,"
Nader added, "this is an offensive
group, externally focused on
problems outside the university
such as pollution, corporations,
poverty and consumer
protection."

It seems that Miss Jo Allen

motivation was, Miss Bradham
replied:

"Stlye...not rebellion, as might
be interpreted. ..simply interest in

Miss Bradham added that she

emphasized that she was in favor
of having faculty and staff

slacks or informal or casual attire.

The reaction on campus to
pantsuit day was interesting. Miss
Bradham said:

"It was very reassuring to see

New theatre
forming

A new theatre company is
forming in Atlanta. The new
theatre Company 3 is based on
the working principles of Jerzy
Grotowski, founder and director
of the Polish Laboratory Theatre.

NTC3 also uses thoughts and
some working methods of the
Becks' the living theatre, Antonin
Artraud, and Schechner's the
performance group.

NTC3 is looking for people
who would be willing to learn a
new method for actors and who
would work together as a
company first, creating
production only as a
development of a collective
experience. It is not necessary
that these people have theatrical
backgrounds. If interested please

equivalent to the American junior
and senior years of high school
and freshman year of college. All
those who continue school after
sixteen receive support from the
state, approximately $20 a
month. Those who go on to the
University receive $1600 of
which $1400 must be paid back
before age 50.

Ann finds several things
different about American
schools. In Sweden, she feels it is
easier for students to tell teachers
that their teaching or testing
methods are wrong. The students
can discuss more freely the way
they want a subject taught.

Ann does not like having final
exams. In a history course in
Sweden, she had no tests but
wrote papers comparing the
history textbooks of different
countries.

Ann does not like the
American dating system. She is
more used to group dating. She
has also found the weather too
hot the first few weeks but is
more comforatable now.

Ann has been very impressed
with the Agnes Scott Honor
System, which is similar to the
Swedish Honor System. She also
finds that everyone is friendly.
Even strangers speak and are not
in a rush. Unfortunately, she
says, she has also discovered she
likes Southern food.

Botticelli to

bacon-
camping?

by FRAN AMSLER

Want to learn how to play
Botticelli in a car in the woods?
Or how about discovering the art
of open-fire cooked bacon? These
were just two of the enlightening
aspects of last week-end's
camping trip sponsored by AA.

The annual trip this fall was to
Camp Tumbling Waters in north
Georgia and was a one night
affair. Most of the campers' cars
managed to leave by 3 Friday
afternoon. But one car left
following the hockey games,
arriving as everyone else was
finishing dinner.

One brave senior camper
decided to be generous and run
to the store (in her car) for some
more Cokes. However, she failed
to notice both the decreasing
amount of gas in her tank and the
exact route back to camp. She
did finally return, after much
anxiety on her part as to whether
she would again see her ASC
buddies.

After a delightful time of
harmonizing around the fire, it
was "lights out" for all, except a
few insomniac seniors. They
instead piled into a car to enjoy
that intellectual past-time,
Boticelli, until 3 AM.

The next morning, everyone in
camp was treated to the cooking
talents of Miss Betty Noble,
Bacon Cooking Expert and a sure
candidate for Betty Crocker
Cook of the Year. Following this
meal, the courageous pioneers
explored a waterfall and
rediscovered nature first-hand.
But football games and books
were calling, and camp was
broken up late in the morning for
the return trip.

One word of thanks to the
adult "chaperones", Miss
Thimester, Miss Murphy, and
Miss Cunningham, for making
sure we got back all our sister
Scotties. They've learned now
what to expect if they go again.
And P. Cox what's this about
going to Mississippi to the
dentist? Did you have some kind
of ESP about this trip?

For fun and adventure, go on
the next AA outing. It's a unique
experience within itself.

What do you think?

It seems to us that there are some elements definitely
lacking on theAgnes Scott campus. One missing element is
some vibrant discussion-in class or otherwise. There are
many issues which may be discussed and some directly
pertinent to this campus which should be discussed. What
to do you think about the following statements?

1. There are 704 students on the campus:
Sex- female-704

male-0

race: white- 70I
black- 3

religion: Christian- 690
Jewish- 2
other- 8

2. There are no intellectuals on this campus.

3. We help encourage low aspirations on campus. For
example the following overheard:

ecstatic freshman: "I got a D+ on my English paper. I
can't believe it! Everyone else got an F!

This helps lead to satisfaction with C's during the
freshman year.

4. We have given Scott students unlimited freedom in
their social regulations which may allow more
opportunities for sexual experimentation yet we offer no
counseling on veneral disease, contraceptive devices,
abortion aid.

5. Agnes Scott students express few opinions if they have
any.

6. There are 26 members of Rep Council (excluding
Advisory members). Of thse approximately 6-8 ever
contribute anything to the discussion.

7. Outsiders think Agnes Scott is a sheltered college were
nice, mannerly, complacent girls go who will eventually
graduate to become mothers, housewives, and active PTA
and Junior League members.

Surely at least one of these statements will inspire some
thinking and discussion.

clear up a misunderstanding. We
are in no way connected with the
questionnaire and/or questioning
presently being done on the
Agnes Scott campus by Christian

Student
Opinion

by CAROLINE TURNER

I write to urge second
thoughts on the subject of open
dorms-especially by you who
prefer not to ask more of the
lately generous authorities and to
be able to walk room to shower
unclad.

We are a women's college, a
setup the unfortunate results of
which include the fostering of a
rather false, unhealthy concept of
"Male." Men become creatures to
entertain and be flattered by. We
know them in the great system of
dating -

To get to know the fellow is a
tedious process, delayed by
flirtation and time limitation and
falsified by the mask (he sees you
only when you're "done," which
is realistically only 30% of you).

Okay, then if these are the
problems of the present
structure-false concept of
"male;" shortage of natural
contact and, therefore, lack of
understanding hang-ups that
would clear up under less
restricted conditions-then I
propose that open dorms ,
(increased contact with men
under natural circumstances) is
something of a panacea.

The most natural place to
socialize is where you live. How
nice to be able to take a fellow (a
person, not just a date) to your
room for coffee and talk. Away
go the masks.

These rather lofty arguments
for the rather radical policy
change are not cover-ups for a
drive to provide women with
more territory in which to carry
on their sex lives. It is because I
sincerely believe that the ultimate
rewards of opening dorms are of
a more noble sort, that I propose
more than a half-way measure.
Speaking now of practicalities -to
open dorms, for example,
weekends only or evenings only
does nothing to replace the
formal structure of dating with
the corrective, natural,
spontaneous sort of contact. This
would merely extend the setting
for dating relationships-and here
is basis for the sex-oriented
arguments of those who see open
dorms as an immoral rather than
an innobling move.

More practicalities. Surely, if
you see the healthy, "innobling"
prospects, you cannot put up
against them the objection of the
burden of having to put on a
bathrobe before leaving your
room or having to close your
door when you don't want to be
seen. Surely it's worth it.

Therefore, I propose that
dorms be open whenever there is
a hostess on duty- i.e. afternoons
and evenings. Out by closing
hour. This proposal is being
considered by the proper
channels. I speak out to ask you
to reconsider your reservations,
weigh benefits against difficulties,
and make your feelings known to
the officials who can put the plan
into action. I wager that anyone
who has lived with this setup will
tell you that it is just plain nice.

Equal rights for women

It is a generally accepted fact
that any class of people which
cannot secure constitutional
protection against discrimination
is comprised of "second clarV
citizens. But to further refine mis
generally accepted fact, to define
discrimination, classifying what
treatment is discriminatory and
what is not is a more elusive
problem.

Herein lies the controversy
over the proposed Equal Rights
Amendment(ERA) to the United
Stated Constitution that states:
"Equality of rights under the law
shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any
State on account of sex." The
ERA was approved by the House
of Representatives August 10 and
is now before the Senate.

A memorandum of the
Citizens' Advisory Council on the
Status of Women lists nine
examples of discriminatory laws
and practices against women.
These examples are based on
recent studies made by the
President's Commission on the
Status of Women, the Citizen's
Advisory Council on the Status
of Women and State
Commissions on the Status of
Women. Inequalities include
discrimination in university
admissions, in state job
employment, restrictions with
respect to occupation and

by LENNIE tfUSSEY

working hours and restrictions on
certain legal capacities. The
Memorandum argues that while
specific legislation can in time
correct these abuses separately,
an inclusive, fundamental,
constitutional protection is
needed.

Equality can be practiced
either by nullifying all laws that
deny equality to one sex or by
extending the law so that it is
applicable to both sexes. The
ERA will enable men to collect
alimony from erstwhile and more
solvent wives, will enable women
to hold down jobs toting over
thirty-five pounds (the legal
restriction) worth of crates, will
enable women to fight alongside
their loved ones in time of war,
will, under law, enable and
sometimes require women to do
all that a man does.

According to Janice May,
instructor in government,
University of Texas, and member
of American Association of
University Women's Legislative
Program Committee, the
proposed amendment is an
unnecessary element in securing
women's equality. If women seek
broad constitutional protection,
they have it in the "due process"
clause of the Fifth Amendment
and the "equal protection" clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Those who expect the ERA
"to secure justice expeditiously

and to avoid the time, expense,
uncertainties and practical
difficulties" of individual case
decisions will be disappointed,
says Miss May. In its attempt to
provide general protection and
equality, it will probably go the
way of the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. The "de facto"
equality these are supposed to
secure for the black is still
unrealized. In fact, throwing out
all legal distinctions based upon
sex will create a tangle of
conflicting interpretations in
most areas of law.

Women's equality is slowly
evolving, says Miss May, and we
need now not a general
amendment, but particular
rulings that will spell out
guidelines. Finally, says Miss
May, real equality for women will
come not through laws but
through active participation and
decision-making in their public
and private lives.

The Equal Rights Amendment
is not, as one student suggested, a
Women's Lib conspiracy to take
over big business. It is an attempt
to secure basic freedoms for all
people. As we often forget that,
in the generic sense anyway, all
men are brothers, so we forget
that, in G.B. Shaw's words,
"woman is the female of the
human species and not a different
kind of animal."

Academic problems?

The Committee on Academic
Problems is acting upon a number
of ideas related to the academic
community, and are asking
students to contribute ideas of
their own.

CAP feels that the independent
study program should be
student-initiated rather by
invitation from the faculty. This
would give the student a more
mature role, leaving the choice to
be made according to the
interest of the student in a
subject. This, says CAP chairman
Louise Hardy, is closer to the
original goals of the independent
study program than the system
now in operation. The
Committee on Independent
Study is now in the process of
re-evaluating the program.

A drive to relocate the
bookstore in the Hub began las
spring when a petition supporting
the move bearing 248 signatures
was submitted to Dr. Alston.
Although action on the plan has
been delayed, it is believed that
the bookstore may eventually
move to the Hub, perhaps after a
student activities center is
constructed.

A faculty member of CAP
brought up the problem of "noise
pollution" on campus.
Lawnmowers under class
windows, trains, and clamor from
the athletic field heard in the
library contribute to what CAP
feels is a very real problem.

A need for flexibility in
students' schedules prompted
discussion on an idea of the
Biology Department to give

credit for each individual quarter
rather than a year credit The
possibility of conversion to the
semester system, or more three
and five-hour courses, were other
methods by which diversity could
be achieved.

CAP chairman Louise Hardy
pointed out that all meetings are
open and that students with
gripes or suggestions should be
aware of their representation on a
student-faculty committee. The
next meeting will be held at five
o'clock on October 29 in the
faculty conference room. Student
representatives of the class of '71
are Sherry Roberts and Marsha
Springs, juniors are Gayle Dailey,
Louise Hardy, Sharon Jones, and
Susie Parks. Mary Paige Lucas
and Lee Waltersrepresent the
sophomores.

Anti-war demo set for Oct. 31

WASHINGTON (CPS) -The
first large-scale mass anti-war
demonstrations since the U.S.
invasion of Cambodia in May will
take place in at least 31 cities on
October 31 .

The action, which is being
planned by many of the same
people who organized the large
anti-war Moratoriums last fall in
Washington and other cities, will
resemble those mass actions. The
call to action is very similar: "We,
the undersigned, all for massive,
peaceful demonstrations
throughout the country, in every
major metropolitan area, on
October 31, to demand the

immediate withdrawal of all U.S.
forces from Southeast Asia."

Organizers have stressed the
importance of drawing large
masses of demonstrators at the
October 31 action in order to
show the response of the
American people to the
Administration's latest move: the
so-called "stand still cease fire"
which Nixon announced Oct. 6.

N-PAC has also attached Senate
doves who have hailed Nixon's
cease fire and whohave called for
a moratorium against war
protests.

Deomonstrations have been
planned in the following cities:
Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago,

Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis
New Haven, New York, Racim
(Wise), Columbus, Tampa,
Seattle, Washington, Philadelphia,
El Paso, St. Louis, Lawrence
(Kan.)., San Francisco, Portland,
Los Angeles, Niagara Falls, Salt
Lake City, Trenton (NJ),
Phoenix, Providence, Tuscaloosa,
Albany (NY), Cedar Falls (Iowa),
Fort Worth, and Worcester.

N-PAC will also sponsor a
national anti-war conference on
Dec. 4-6 at a yet unchosen site.
The meeting, which N-PAC
leaders say will be open to
anyone in the anti-war
movement, will plan actions for
the spring offensive.

Stanford Provost speaks
out on the "fanatic Left"

Palo Alto, Calif .-(I. P. (Today's
radicals who believe destruction
is the only way to save the world
are ignoring history, and "the
intellectual poverty of their
arguments has been more than a
match for the unimaginative
arrogance of their subsequent
behavior," says Stanford
University Provist Richard W.
Lyman and an historian himself.

Lyman said that refusal of
perpetrators of campus violence
"to take the consequence" of
their misdeeds is "a fundamental
and tragic deterioration."

In taking this stand, "You (the
revolutionaries) are indeed saying
that the society and the
institutions that would provide
those consequences are corrupt
beyond redemption. You are
saying that the system must be
subverted, eroded, terrorized, and
coerced, if justice is ever to
prevail. And, in so saying, you are
subverting and eroding your own
capacity to live a constructive life
in a free society."

Lyman, discussing violence,
said that to regain public
confidence, universities must use
effective discipline, institutional
responsiveness, and education.
And most of the education, he
insisted, is needed in the form of
a history lesson:

"To those old enough to
remember totalitarianism at its
most virulent, in/' Hitlerite
Germany; to those informed
enough to perceive the world of
difference between the
individual's lot in China or the
Soviet Union or the South
African Republic and in the
United States, whatever our
shortcomings; to those possessed
of enough perspective to know
that freedom begins in the
willingness of each individual to
recognize the right of others to
differ from him, over things that
matter, and that this willingness
has been a rare phenomenon in
the long sweep of man's history;
to all such, the dreary,
doctrinaire fanaticism of the hard
core revolutionary Left is really
more frightening than their rocks
or their dynamite tragedies or
their toying with terrorist
tactics."

Part of radical strategy, Lyman
said, is to goad administrators
into mistakes through weariness.
The administration, in turn, tries
"to respond strongly enough to
constitute a deterrent, but not so
strongly as to feed the ever-ready
flames of martyrdom."

It is no easy matter to find the
right level of response, he noted,
because old ground rules don't
work today? to ask that they be
used "is to ignore the realities of
our situation."

Small campus trouble often
explodes into big trouble because
old ground rules don't work and
''because of clever and
unscrupulous--but effective
exploitation" of a disciplinary
action, he said. The problem of
identifying the guilty is
monumental during night time
guerrilla tactics, Lyman said.
Furthermore, "as long as there is
widespread campus sympathy for
the alleged objectives of the
rioters, even though there is little
sympathy for their tactics, the
likelihood is very great that an
attempt at mass arrests will only
make a bad situation worse."

Supporters of higher education
must understand, Lyman said,
that "the radical intent is to goad
(them) into demanding curbs on
freedom of speech and of
assembly, so that the cadres of
revolution can then be expanded
by recruits from the moderates
who will be outraged at such
infringements of the hard-won
freedoms of a democratic and
open society."

He noted that Stanford had
made many changes in university
governance, bringing faculty,
students and alumni into
decision-making positions, and
that an effective campus judicial
system, although only two years
old, plus use of a court
injunction, "has been effective"
in stopping disruption.

While such change "does not
disarm the more extreme
radicals," Lyman said, "it does
make harder their task of
radicalizing the uncommitted, or
making non-violent radicals
collaborate in the use of
violence."

The Laird is my shepherd.

Book Review

'Schooling for what?'

"In this book 1,000 people are
telling it as it is, how it ought to
be, and how it's got to be if we
are to survive." In these words,
Donald H. Parker, an authority in
educational psychology,
summarizes his lively and
alarming reportage: Schooling for
What? published today by
McGraw-Hill ZS7.95).

"The question set me on a
33,000-mile trek across the
nation," the author recalls. "I
ended up with personal, private
tape-recorded interviews with
1,000 persons of all ages, from
every walk of life, representing as
accurately as possible 200 million
Americans in our various ethnic
groups and life styles -- all zeroing
in on the question, schooling for
what?"

Dr. Parker started out with a
set of ten basic queries, focussing
on just what is wrong with our
schools at all levels, but he found
himself expanding his
investigation into such related
areas as the hippie subculture,
student radicalism, racial and
generation gaps, and the
proliferation of new-life styles.

The book encompassed
pertinent views on the impact of
the media on the young, and the
abuses and potentials of
technology. The author found
himself delving into
considerations on the tradition
work ethic and its relevance to
our times, and he was led to look
into aspects of the sexual
revolution, the knowledge
explosion, the history of
communes in America and the
evolution of sensitivity training
and encounter groups.

"It was not always easy to get
the interviews that lasted from 15

minutes to an hour and a half and
covered the spectrum of
American life from a sidewalk
academy in Oakland to a squalid
Appalachian cabin, from behind
the walls of a penitentiary to
glass and chrome offices on
Madison Avenue," Dr. Parker
recalls. "... I have often
counterpointed interviews of the
young with those of the older,
black with white, minority with
majority."

What emerges are "the
throught patterns of the many
age and ethnic groups nowcrying
out to be heard." Their urgent
message- Time is running out fast

for the Establishment^ and on| y
a massive turnaround in
American prioritie* can avert
collapse and anarchy. In the
schools, a consensus of opinion
among the interviewees indicates,
the student himself must be
allowed to determine what and
how much to learn to fulfill his
needs as an individual facing life
on terms which are entirely his
own. By the same token, the
panoramic survey shows, the
diverse experiements in living and
learning being carried out by the
young themselves - from hippie
communies to "free universities"
- offer the best models for
reordering schooling in America.

Dr. Parker, who lives at Big
Sur, Cal., has served on the staffs
of six universities and is the
author of a widely used series of
reading laboratory materials,
co-published by Science Research
Associates and the Institute of
Multilevel Learning International,
which he founded in 1964. He

Just how much do you think
the Agnes Scott student should
become involved in the Atlanta
community?

Bonnie Troxler (73): In order
to be a mature, well-rounded
student it is necessary to be
interested and, as much as
possible, become involved in the
Atlanta community.

Sally Martin(72): A great deal!
Because I don't think you can be
an active member of the college
community unless you become
involved in the surrounding
community.

Lynn Deen(73): More than we
are involved now!

Tyler McFadden(7 1 ) : I think it
is a matter of personal concern.
One's role as an Agnes Scott
student has nothing to do with
Atlanta's politics and problems.
Rather her role as part of
humanity carries the
responsibility of involvement in
the community.

Peggy T. Davis (71): "I think it
is a personal thing. It depends on
how much you think you owe to
yourself and the community."

(Continued from page 1 )

Compared to New York,
however, Georgia has not
undergone a radical change since
the August court decision. The
"Journal" lists several factors
which combine to make legal
abortion activity in Georgia less
dramatic. Apparently, many
women do not know the Georgia
law has been made more
permissive.

Many doctors and hospital
officials still are reluctant to
perform abortions. A third factor
working against deep change is
that Georgia's law is in a state of
flux. Those sections of the law of
1968 declared unconstitutional in
August are still in effect
unconstituional. However, the
state of Georgia is appealing the
U. S. District Court decision to
the Supreme Court of the United
States in an effort to get
restrictions on legal abortions
reinstated.

In the "Journal", Bob Matson
of the Problem Pregnancy
Counseling Service (PPCS) says
that groups like his are active
even in states with "liberal" laws
because the legal supply doesn't
meet the abortion demand.
Fifteen or more girls leave

less fear," Morehouse said in the
"Journal". He estimated 1,000
women will seek abortions in
Atlanta's PPCS clinic this year.

Ohio Grand Jury vs.
Kent State students

(Editor's Note:

Some students have requested
some information concerning this
incident. J J you have any other
requests please let us know.

KENT, Ohio (CPS)--The
students of Kent State University
saw tensions heighten after
indictments were returned Friday
ainst 25 persons, none of them
national guardsmen, by the
special Grand Jury investigation
of the disturbances of May 4.
According to the official Grand
Jury report, "thirty indictments,
covering 43 offenses" were
returned against the twenty-five.

Student reaction to the
indictment has been varied. Some
feel the indictments were too
few. Others feel the number was
too great. But the majority of
students believe that the entire
Grand Jury report was a
whitewash of the May
disturbances. In Columbus, Ohio,
the Student Mobilization
Committee announced an
emergency press conference on
the capitol steps and is calling for
"united massive action by Ohio
students" in response to the
Grand Jury "whitewash."

The report never formally
declares the May 4 disturbance a
riot; it refers to a "riotous mob"
and excuses National Guardsmen

from guilt in the fatal shooting of
four students and in the
wounding of eleven more.

The report states that the
Guardsmen fired their weapons
"in the honest and sincere belief,
and under circumstances which
would have logically led them to
believe that they would suffer
serious bodily injury had they
not done so."

It goes on to declare the
university police department
"totally inadequate to perform
the functions of law enforcement
agency." The allegation was
documented with the "shocking
inability to protect the Kent city
firemen who responded to the
fire at the ROTC building on May

2. "

The Grand Jury, though, did
find "the events of Sunday, May

3, 1970 to constitute a riot." At
the time students sitting in the
street at the corner of Lincoln
and Main were attacked by
National Guardsmen. Guardsmen
claimed rocks and bottles had
been thrown from the northern
side of the street, but charged
into a body of students sitting on
the southern side of the street.
Several students were bayoneted
during the charge.

The Jury charged that the
university administration has

PROFILE

"fostered an attitude of laxity,
over-indulgence, and
permissiveness, with its students
and faculty to the extent that it
can no longer regulate the
activities of either, and is
particularly vulnerable to any
pressure applied from radical
elements within the student body
or faculty."

When an SDS Chapter was
founded in 1968, the group had
to wait 18 months before its
charter was approved by the
student activities office. After a
minor disturbance in the spring
of 1969, the charter was revoked.
Efforts to revive the group have
failed.

"The second example of where
the University has obviously
contributes to the crisis it now
faces," the report went on, "is
the over-emphasis which it has
placed, on the right to dissent.
Although we fully recognize that
the right of dissent is a basic
freedom to be cherished and
protected, we cannot agree that
the role of the university should
be to continually foster a climate

"Those panty-raiders took everything I owned-what Scott needs is
some good bloodhounds to protect me! I'm so apset, I simply can't
study any more Chaucer tonight."

"If they arrest panty-raiders,

will they arrest me for
sniffing grass?"

in which dissent becomes the
order of the day to the exclusion
of all normal behaviour and
expression."

The Kent State Yippie chapter,
started three weeks ago by a
group considered among the most
non-violent students on campus,
also received abuse in the report:

"On Sunday, October 12, the
'YIPPIES' scheduled a meeting in
the University auditorium which
was supposed to in some manner
relate to the activities of this
Grand Jury. Again, on October
14, 1970, the same 'YIPPIE'
group scheduled a noon rally on
the commons. Neither of these
events attracted more than a
handful of spectators and this is
to the credit of the student body.
What disturbs us is that any such
group of social and intellectual
misfits should be afforded the
opportunity to disrupt the affairs
of a major university to the
detriment of the vast majority of
students enrolled there."

A reporter during a Friday
morning press conference asked
Robert Valyeat, a Lima attorney
named foreman of the Grand
Jury, if the final sentence of the

PAGE 7

report meant that the jury
recommended removing the first
amendment of the constitution
from the rights of such groups as
the Yippies. "You will have to
draw your own conclusions,"
Valyeat replied. "We have drawn
conclusions from what we have
learned, and thus we have
formulated our statement."

Yippies held a noon rally
Friday to demonstrate against the
indictment of the Kent State
students and issued the following
demands: the abolishment of
ROTC; an end to all
m i I i t a r y - related research,
classified and unclassified; the
freedom of all political prisoners
in the United States, and that the
University take a stand
supporting their release; that all
agents of state repression, such as
the FBI, the CIA, the Highway
Patrol, the Sheriff's department,
and narcotics agents be removed
from the campus; and the
university take a stand opposing
student and non-student
indictments for the May
incidents.

Statement by president

of Kent State student body

KENT, Ohio (CPS)-Craig
Morgan, president of the student
body at Kent State University
(October 21) before assembled
students.

"I would like to address myself
briefly to the nation as a whole.
Not to those student and faculty
members who already agree with
us, but to those students who are
apprehensive about the concerns
expressed. It is understandable
how much a college education
means to you. This opportunity
may seem too precious for you to
jeopardize by becoming involved
with what appears to be
extra-curricular activities.

"But let me ask, once you have
your degree, what kind of a life
do you want to lead? Do you
support a political system based
on trust and reconciliation, or do
you accept political rhetoric
which divides and polarizes your
country, and turns the resultant
fears into hatred for unpopular
minority groups?

"We all understand the pressure
which exists in a giant university.
Sympathy must be given to those
who fear that the system may

reject them altogether, through
the ; tyranny of the grade-point
averages, bringing catastrophe to
future career and personal
advancement.

"But we ask each student if he
can find it in his conscience to
take the risks inherent in
becoming involved in the greater
issues, which threaten tragedy to
our traditions of freedom and
equality.

"To this end we at Kent State
are asking for a nationwide
moratorium on business as usual.
We are asking that for one day
that students don't go to classes,
don't spend their time drinking
beer or playing football, but
spend the day talking among
themselves, with faculty
members, with parents, and with
college administrators about what
is happening to us, about what is
happening to civil liberties in
America today. We are asking
that students aross the nation
demonstrate their unity in
whatever manner they desire,
whether it be by fasts, teach-ins,
rallies, or whatever; with only
one restriction, it must be done
non-violently. There are more
politicians in this nation who are
banking on a violent upheaval on
any campus in America in order

to get themselves elected. We
can't give them that opportunity.
Anyone who doesn't see that is
politically blind.

"In addition, the student
government of KSU calls upon
university communities and other
citizens across the country to
show their concerns over
increasing political repression
through a manifestation of Unity
on Oct. 31, by participating in
the non-violent mass
demonstrations throughout the
country.

THE OUTSIDE WORLD

t'ditor's Note:

This article is especially
interesting if you read it with the
Constitution,, Times, etc.

OTTAWA (CPS-CUP)--The
Front de Liberation du Quebec
has an action- filled ten-year
history.

The group of revolutionary
youth was started in 1960 by
George Shoester,a University of
Montreal student who felt the
"time had come to sow in the
province a spirit of
independence."

The small group emerged from
under the dictatorship of former
Premier Maurice DuPlessis - there
was a strong taste among
university radicals for a state of
liberation.

With the inflow of discipline a
firm revolutionary ideology and
more financial backing, the FLQ
has been able to extend its
operations into cells technically
free from each other with
members not knowing the
members of others.

This cell network has made the
work of the federal authorities an
almost insurmountable task.

Early Monday morning, Oct. 5,
James Richard Cross, Senior
British Trade Commissioner in
Montreal, was kidnapped from
his plush upper Westmount home.
The FLQ ransom note
demanded:

-The publication of a
manifesto they had prepared,

-The liberation of 23 political
prisoners "Felquistes" (FLQers),

The freed political prisoners
to be placed aboard an aircraft
bound for Cuba or Algeria.

-The post office was told to
reinstate all 400 LaPalme
employees the government fired
last April in a dispute over union
rights.

- Payment of $500,000 in gold
to be placed aboard the aircraft
carrying the political prisoners.

Identification of the most
recent man to inform of the
activities of the FLQ and
publication of his name and
photograph in all Quebec
newspapers.

- Immediate halt of any police
activity in the hunt for the
kidnapped diplomat.

The FLQ gave the governments
involved 48 hours to comply.

The first waves of concern
immediately rippled through
government chambers at both the
federal and provincial levels and
what was to follow was a chess
game between flabbergasted
government officials and the FLQ
members, which has resulted,
thus far, in the imposition of the
War Measure Act and the death
of Labour Minister Pierre
Laporte.

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, word was
passed on by federal authorities,
federal, provincial and local
police in Montreal and Quebec
city to impose tight security
measures but "to play it cool and
don't panic the abductors." That
same day the Quebec cabinet
held an emergency three-hour
session in an attempt to come to
grips with a situation they said
"threatened" the freedom of
Canadians.

Canada

The militant revolution tactics
of the FLQ shocked top
government officials throughout
the "free world."

Not long before, newspapers
across the country printed at
least excerpts of the manifesto of
the FLQ. "The FLQ is neither
the Messiah nor a modern day
Pobin Hood," says the
Manifesto. "It is a group of
Quebec workers who have
decided to get everything in
motion so that the people of
Quebec may definitely take their
destiny into their own hands."

The FLQ describes itself not as
a movement of aggression, but
"the answer to aggression, the
one organized by high finance
through the intervention of
federal and provincial
governmental puppets."

"We are fed up and so are more
and more Quebecois with a
spineless government which
makes one thousand and one
somersaults to charm American
millionaires while begging them
to come and invest in Quebec..."
the manifesto says.

Tuesday, Oct. 6, Sharp
informed the abductors that the
federal government would in no
way comply with the ransom
demands. But he added he was
ready to make some kind of deal.
And Tuesday night the
government announced its
agreement with Ottawa that the
ransom price would be impossible
to meet.

At the same time, lawyer
Robert Lemieux, legal counsel
for many "Felquistes," held his
first press conference. The
conferences turned into daily
events with up to 300 reporters

Saturday, Oct. 10, Premier
Bourassa issued an initial
ultimatum saying none of the
demands of the FLQ would be
met by the government and he
announced a final proposition to
the kidnappers saying if they gave
themselves up and returned the
British official unharmed they
would be given safe passage out
of the country.

The FLQ reply to this proposal

was not long in cominy.
Thirty-five minutes later Quebec
Labour Minister Pierre Laporte
joined the ranks of the kidnapped
in the hands of the FLQ. The
Minister was taken by two men
armed with machine guns as he
was playing football on his front
lawn.

Laporte's capture was followed
by another communique Sunday
morning from the FLQ. The
handwritten note revealed the
second kidnapping had not been
carried out by the original cell of
the FLQ, but by a group
identifying itself as the Chenier
cell.

Although at this point, the
price of Cross's life had been
reduced to the release of the 23
political prisoners, and the
cessation of police activities with
respect to the kidnappings, the
price set for Laporte was
somewhat st iff er--i t was made up

of all seven initial demands of the
FLQ. A further communique
Monday confirmed that if the
demands were met the hostages
would not be exec ,,tfs H

That same day, hundred of
heavily armed Canadian troops
were brought into Ottawa to
protect cabinet ministers,
diplomats, prominently wealthy
people and federal buildings from
possible FLQ attacks. As many as
1,000 troops entered the capital
from camp Petawawa Sunday
night.

Thousands of troops were
trucked into the Montreal area
from New Brunswick and others
were flown in from
Saskatchewan. Troops have been
guarding any prominent building
for the last six days in Montreal
and police began raiding homes
of sympathizers of the FLQ and
suspected FLQ members at the
same time. The arrest toll rose to
351 following passage of the War
Measures Bill in the House of
Commons at 4 a.m. Friday
morning.

Police immediately took
advantage of the situation to
clean out all left-wing groups in
Montreal that they'd wanted to
get at since Drapeau warned last
year of a revolutionary
conspiracy in the city where he is
mayor. The police went after
radical press shops (they smashed
equipment in at least three), draft
dodgers, deserters, radical
Vietnamese students and militant

workers committees.

Some background info on Canada

OTTAWA (CPS-CUP) - The
crisis that the Canadian
government is facing today is one
that should not be so surprising
as the government would have us
to believe.

In 1966 the United States
Army sponsored a series of
studies on possible areas of
revolution in the western
hemisphere. These studies were
designed to formulate plans for
blocking or reversing such
revolutions. One of the areas
studied was Quebec.

It appears that the Trudeau
government is taking advantage
of the situation in Quebec to rid
itself of all the cumbersome
extra-parliamentary opposition in
this country. Underground
newspapers have been wiped off
the map; in many cases all their
equipment has been confiscated
and they cannot afford to buy
more.

It is necessary that we try to
put what is happening in Quebec
today in some sort of perspective
for Canada, so that we can all
relate to the recent events and see
them as actions developing
logically from a history of
oppression in a nation defeated in
a colonial war over 180 years ago.

Some of the answers can be
found in the press every day. It
was no coincidence that most
papers Wednesday (Oct. 14) ran
front-page stories announcing the
government plans "to consider"
the Wartime Measures Act
together with all sorts of
denunciations of the Front de
Liberation du Quebec (FLQ), at
the same time as finance minister
Benson's announcement that
"joblessness is now our biggest
threat."

Dian Cohen reported the
employment scene in the
Toronto Star Oct. 16th along side
a picture showing the occupation
of Montreal by the Army. The
following observations were made
in that article:

"it is perhaps easier to believe
that the FLQ is a small group of
criminal madmen than to accept
the possibility that the anger and
frustration that gives rise to such
violent actions may fairly
accurately reflect the feelings of a
much larger group of Canadians."

This is the labor situation in
Quebec that is giving rise to
socialist movements in Quebec
like the FLQ:

In the past 15 years Quebec
has never come close to full
employment; unemployment has
never been lower than four
percent, even in the summer, and
has frequently been as high as 15
percent.

While Quebec comprises little
over a quarter of the labor force
in Canada, fully 31 percent of
Canadians who are out of work
live in Quebec.

Historically, unemployment
in Quebec has been 20 to 40
percent higher than the average in
Canada, and 50 to 100 percent
higher than the average
unemployment in Ontario.

-Nearly all people out of work
in Quebec are French.

-The average number of
people unemployed in Quebec
last year was 158,000. Of these,
65,000 or 42 percent were under
the age of 25.

---The average income of
English-speaking workers in
Quebec is 40 percent higher than
that of French-speaking workers.
Francophones, with the same
degree of education, even if they
are bi-lingual, earn less than
uni-lingual, English-speaking
Canadians in Quebec.

The Bi-lingual and Bi-cultural
Commission, which is a royal
commission appointed by the
government to study the language
situation in the country,
concluded in 1964 that
French-speaking employees, who
represent 70 percent of the
Quebec labor force, hold 82
percent of the jobs in the $5,000
- $6,000 income bracket.
English-speaking employees, who
are 30 percent of the Quebec
labor force, hold 77 percent of
the jobs in the $15,000 income
bracket. The Commission also
released figures showing that at
the top of the income scale in
Quebec were the white,
Anglo-Saxons, and at the bottom
were the Indians and the French
Quebecois.

In the light of all that has
happened in Quebec we must
seriously consider these facts as
the meaning of violence in this
context. M. Trudeau talks about
democracy being threatened by
the kidnappings of the FLQ. But
if the people do not even have
the basic right to work, to earn
their living, then we must also
consider this a kind of violence,
too.

Groups in U.S. react against

Canadian government's
revocation of civil liberties

NEW YORK (CPS)
Demonstrations against the
recent acts of the Canadian
government have been called for
56 cities in the United States
around three demands:

the immediate repeal of the
War Measures Act, which was
invoked Oct. 15 by the Trudeau
government, and which suspends
civil liberties in Canada;

- the release of all political
prisoners;

-the repudiation of the
Trudeau government's actions by
the Nixon administration in the
United States

The demonstrations, called by
the Young Socialist, Alliance
(YSA) and the Student
Mobilization Committee to End
the War in Vietnam (SMC) are
being planned in 56 U.S. cities at
Canadian consulates in solidarity

with demonstrating Canadian
students who are risking arrest in
violation of the War Measures
Act.

The call for the demonstration
doesn't support the revolutionary
demands of the Front de
Liberation de Quebec (FLQ), but
rather condemns the Canadian
government's revocation of civil
liberties in the face of acts of
political radicalism.

"The Canadian movement has
long been a strong ally of
American anti-war forces in
fighting for the withdrawal of all
U.S. troops from Southeast Asia
and in fighting Canada's
complicity in the war," said an
SMC statement. "Any attacks on
the rights of Canadian citizens to
dissent, no matter what the
pretext, is an attack on our
movement as well."

THE MROFILE

Separate education for women-

Any educational institution of
this day and time that is not
coeducational must consider the
possibilities of becoming so. It is
not reasonable to keep an
institution from being co-ed just
because of custom or habit. Why
then is separate education,
particularily for women in this
case, sound?

David B. Truman, President of
Mount Holyoke College,

By PR1SCILLA OFFEN

addressed himself to this question

in an article published in the
summer issue of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Quarterly.

Mr. Truman states from the
outset that he is not considering
the financil aspects of the issue.

Mr. Truman begins his
argument with the idea of what
he terms "social conditioning"-
-how the society in which we live
molds to a certain degree the
thinking of the young. For

example, a young man even from
an early age is pressured into
thinking about "what he will
choose to make of himself."

On the other hand with girls
the "conditioning" is radically
different. Mr. Truman argues that
"in spite of the presence of some
alternative models in the adult
society around the young girl, the
standard pattern, still, is for her
to assume that there is one thing
and one thing only that she will
do and should do and must do."

Even as the role of the woman
in the world changes, as "the
character of adult environment"
changes, this said conditioning
process is most likely to change
at a much slower rate.

There is what Mr. Truman
describes as a "potential tragedy"
in this situation. "At a point, say,
in middle or even early
adolescense, when girls are
beginning to find themselves
intellectually, are about to
discover that they may have
capacity and promise, and are
beginning, therefore, to find
themselves vocationally, at least
by implication, they are likely to
feel a conflict, and a serious one,
between those exciting and
important possibilities and the
equally strong and natural pull to
be desirable females."

This is not to say that a great
many young women don't find a
way to make the choice
comfortably or of dealing with
the falsity involved in it. Many,
however, do not. Mr. Truman
sees here a great amount of both
personal and social waste
especially if the young woman
chooses to "subordinate her
development as a person and an
intellect to her success as a
female."

To minimize this type of waste
then, a setting is needed which
provides women with "a
minimum of compulsion and a
maximum of opportunity for
rationaf and healthful
development." Mr. Truman feels
the new mission of the separate
woman's college is to provide this
kind of setting. It can not be only
the classroom but must be the
total setting as well in which
learning occurs.

To illustrate his point, Mr.
Truman cites the choice of
majors in a woman's college as
opposed to a coeducational one.
He states that at his school,
Mount Holyoke, "it is not
unfeminine to be a physicist of a
chemist of a mathematician or a
biologist." A girl does not choose
her major on the basis of the
"role-conditioning" that she has
had in her earlier life. Still the
woman's college may have majors
and courses that would be of
special interest to a woman, "but

the opportunity is also there,
without any loss of status or
self-regard, to pursue a major that
the student or person feels is
right for her, without any
concern for what may be 'the
thing for a girl to do'."

Women on their own campus
can be editors of newspapers or
presidents of student
government. And yet for the
co-ed campus for a woman to be
editor or president of the student
body is most unusual.

This is not to say that the
women's college should be cut
off from boys entirely. Mr.
Truman sees exchange programs
between colleges as being most
worthwhile.

Mr. Truman ends with the
thought that if the woman's
college an as institution dies out,
he is convinced that "the

Will Agnes Scott go
co-educational?

By BLUE ARGO

According to Dr. Alston, Agnes
Scott will not go co-educational
in the foreseeable future. "The
board of Trustees has considered
this move, and though possible, it
would not be practical."

A.S.C. could go co-ed-but such
a drastic step would require many
changes. It would entail a large
capital outlay for facilities. New
dormitories would have to be
constructed for male students.
Larger dining and classroom
facilities would have to be built.
Athletic equipment would have

on our campus.

Today, at Scott, women
teachers and administrators
outnumber men at these position
in about 60-40 ratio. In most
co-ed colleges the exact opposite
is almost always true. If Agnes
Scott were to go co-ed; perhaps

the female employees would not
have as distinctive a position
administratively or academically
as they do now.

Most of the colleges in the
Atlanta and surrounding area are
co-educational If Scott were to
conform to the present mode of
colleges becoming co-educational
the charter of the school would
have to be changed. With male
students here, the name of the
college could hardly be "Agnes
Scott." With a new name and a

academically excellent school.

Whether or not Scott could still
make the same contribution that
it now makes in the community
and whether it would be desirable
or practical is a question that will
influence the future of the
college.

A liberal definition

Any attempt to answer the question of Agnes Scott's
future brings the inquirer directly back to the question of
what Agnes Scott is today. The cliche most often thrown
out in response is that ASC is a liberal arts college. The
following is a definition of the purpose of a liberal arts
college obtained from Merle Walker, associate professor of
philosophy, which may help us to re-consider our
frustrations here.

"The purpose of a liberal arts college is:

To develop the mind's capacity for independent thought
and for responsible criticism of ideas proposed for belief.

To encourage both a respect for facts and an ability to
weigh and evaluate the methods by which the facts are
gathered.

To satisfy natural human curiosity about other times and
places and about the physical and cultural universe in
which we live.

To stimulate the imagination to go beyond the past and
present and to entertain creative possibilities for the future.

To develop and discipline one's powers of self-expression
by which both thoughtand feeling are communicated.

To provoke a search for human and spiritual values and
the commitment to self-sacrificing and courageous
translation of these values into action.

To emphasize the belief that one has not begun to
understand the universe until one has found something
other than oneself at its center.

A liberal arts college is the only type which sets all of
these goals for itself. Others have some of the same goals
we come way short of achieving these purposes - but it is
much easier to do less and succeed.

It is important to get away from grading papers, covering
material, etc., and look at what we are supposed to be
doing."

Do women retreat?

(Before reading this, please refer to front page story
"Separate Education for Women?")

Mr. Truman's analysis raises some questions. Some of his
points were good and valid, but the following implications
come to mind:

Need women retreat into a woman's setting if they wish
to engage in "masculine" activities?

Are women discouraged from entering "masculine"
activities because of fear of social disapproval and/or fear
of failure in competing with men?

If women engage in and are trained in "masculine" fields
in women's colleges for the reasons implied, how will they
learn to compete with men and deal with "social
disapproval" after college?

Will these women even after college training still retreat
into the women's setting of family and household?

"One painful point must be

In the Fall 1970 issue of the

on testimony presented before
the Special House Subcommittee

regarding amendments (in
Section 805 of H.R. 16098)
which would extend protection
of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and
the 1938 Fair Labor Practices
Act to women in institutions of

Cox views Rep and constitution

By LENNIE BUSSEY

In a few weeks, Rep Council
will present the student body
with a new student government
constitution. Why? Because the
old one fails to serve the
students? Yes, says Carolyn Cox,
President of Rep, but more
succintly, "The fact of the matter
is that the old constitution is not
well written. ..nor is it a clear
statement of the purpose." The
new document does not in any
way redefine student
government's position in the
college community nor does it
broaden student government
prerogative. It is a clearer
statement of purpose, one that
can be concomitant with the
internal changes in student
government reorganization and
its role in student affairs.

Rep's role this year will be
"low key," reflecting the belief
that "students no longer need a
government that hovers over
them." Now that the new social
regulations are in effect, Carolyn
believes that Rep can be regarded
as "more than a lobby for social
changes."

Student government is
assigning to every student more

voice in formulating Rep's goals
and more responsibility in
executing them. The newly
formed Committee on
Community Affairs is a tangible
result of the students' desire to
take a more active role in

consumer and environmental
issues.

Plans to study academic
problems have been shelved since
a faculty-student committee has
already been set up and an
unofficial, parallel study on Rep's
part "would have little validity "

Student Opinion

CINDY HARVEY

I feel very strongly about
Agnes Scott. I am very proud to
be a part of her. I consider her a
part of my very heart. But she and
I both have some hang-ups.

I think that most Scotties are
in a rut entrenching themselves,
their studies, and their dates. This
life nurtures gossip and apathy
and an unhealthy introspection.

I am excited about Scotties
who are concerned not only
about their studies and their
dates but more. I am completely
behind those women who are
speaking out. Speaking out about
their convictions and thoughts.

I want to hear Scotties
speaking out and active. I often
hear a rumor that irritates me.
The rumor is that Jesus is taboo,

an unmentionable name and an
off-campus subject. I am for His
name being as common as gripes
about tests and papers.

I am not only for Him but I am
for Campus Crusade for Christ. I
am glad to be a part of this
movement and controversial
group.

I hope to hear Scotties
speaking out for or against this
movement. First of all, most
Scotties have not investigated this
movement past its surface. I
would like to hear intelligent
discussion on this subject.
Intelligent discussion stems only
from concerned, informed
individuals.

There will be a conference in
Gatlinburg on November 13-15
for concerned individuals.

Academic Issues

-At Agnes Scott

By CATHY PIDGEON and MARIANNE BRADLEY

Bible Requirement

There have been questions
raised as to why a Bible
requirement is necessary for
graduation from Agnes Scott.
The Agnes Scott College Bulletin
states that Bible and Religion
101, 102, or 310 is a specific
requirement.

The charter of Agnes Scott says
that the college should be
"favorable to the maintenance of
the faith and practice of the
Christian religion."

This therefore has the
implication of a required Bible

and Religion course even though
there is no specific mention in
the charter or in the bylaws of
which courses and how many
hours should be taken. From the
early days of Agnes Scott a one
year course of Bible and Religion
has been required.

Dr. Alston said that a change
could come about only after it
had been reviewed by the
Curriculum Cbmmittee, the
Academic Council (the academic
policy making body of the
college), and finally passed by the
Board of Trustees.

Four-week break

Pass-Fail

One of the aspects of academic
policy which has been under
consideration for the past several
weeks is the pass-fail policy. The
study covered present use of the
program and whether expansion
was needed.

At one time, about twenty
years ago, all students at Scott
were given their grades as merit,
pass, or fail. Records were kept
using letter grades, however, and
all transcripts included letter
grades. This system was stopped
because of the uncertain meaning
of the term merit. Most students
felt that merit meant that they
were doing well, and some were
shocked when graduate schools
would not accept the 'C that
was the lower limit of the term.
These students felt that if they
had known that they had only a

'C' they could have pulled it up.

A more limited pass-fail system
was begun at Scott several years
ago. Juniors and seniors are
allowed a maximum of ten hours
of work per quarter on a pass-fail
basis. Major courses and required
courses cannot be taken on this
basis. Because a relatively small
number of students use the
program now, the committee
studying it decided that there is
no present need to expand the
program.

Student government president
Carolyn Cox agreed that, in
general, the present situation is
adequate. She did say that she
felt an extension to 13 hours
should be considered, but that
the program should still be
limited to non- required and
non-major courses.

Another item under
consideration by the committee
studying academic life is the
school calendar year. Many
schools have begun using a
system of two semesters with a
four-week break in between for
independent study or some type
of special work.

Although the result of the
committee study will not be
available for some time, it is very
unlikely that the system will be
adopted at Scott. There are
several problems involved in using
the system. All of the other
colleges in the area are on a
quarter system, and Dr. Alston
said that Agnes Scott's move to
another system would make
increased cooperation between
the schools difficult.

Another problem with this
system, as stated by Carolyn Cox,

involves the use of the break
period. She said that most
freshmen have not gone deep
enough into any subject to do
independent study, and it would
be hard to find worthwhile
activities for everyone for a
month. Also, she felt that the
response to the present
independent study program
suggests that there is not much
interest in the idea.

Carolyn said that the program
could, of course, be of advantage
to some students. Political
science majors could spend the
time working in Washington or
with a political group, and art
majors could use the time for
special projects. It would seem,
however, that the advantages are
outnumbered by the
disadvantages.

Berkeley, Calif.-(I.P.)-The type of
higher educational institution
which is most likely to encounter
student protests is the large,
urban university granting
doctoral degrees, writes Professor
Harold Hodgkinson of the
University of California at
Berkeley in a recent issue of the
Teachers College Record.

Dr. Hodgkinson is project
director of the "Institutes in
Transition" study which is part
of the Carnegie Commission on
Higher Education under the
chairmanship of Clark Kerr.

In his study, Dr. Hodgkinson
contacted the presidents of 1230
colleges and universities
throughout the country to
determine whether they had
experienced an increase in
student protests and
demonstrations during the past
ten years.

Among the findings were these:

1 . There is considerable
evidence from within the student
protest movement that issues are
often devised on the spot for
maximum effectiveness.

2. Colleges and universities in
regions with high levels of
population seem to have
considerable more student
protests than institutions in rural
areas. The states with the highest
incidence of student protest are
New York (50%), Iowa (48%),

Michigan (43%), Massachusetts
(40%), California (36%), and
Illinois (30%).

"With the exception of Iowa
the high protest states tend to be
urban while the low protest states
tend to be more rural," Professor
Hodgkinson notes. The data
provides some support for the
hypothesis that the crisis on
campus is a parallel to the crisis
of the city."

This does not mean, he
observes, that protest occurs only
on campuses located in big cities,
but that in some situations
students may be so close to a city
that the culture and conflict of
the city become a part of the way
they see their campus.

3. The universities which had
the greatest number of protests
reported a high level of diversity
in their student bodies, with few
local ties among the students
which might have served as a
deterrent to protest. Students at

Towson, Md. -(I. P. )-in response to
recommendations in the report
submitted last year by the
Committee on the Future of the
College, the Goucher College
faculty has taken the following
action;

Voted to require that students
complete a minimum of 32
courses to graduate, of which two
must be January term courses,
and that no more than three
January term courses shall count
toward graduation.

(Goucher's new calendar,
effective this year, consists of
two 13-week semesters with a
four-week 'January term'
sandwiched between.)

Voted that a minimum of two
courses must be completed in
each of the three faculties -the
humanities, history and the social
sciences, and mathematics and
the natural sciences-thereby
eliminating the previous
requirement that students
complete a total of four courses
in math and the natural sciences.

Adopted a statement to the
effect that proficiency in English
composition is expected of all
students, that students weak in
composition should be strongly
urged by the Dean to take an
expository writing course when
they enter the College, and that
such a course shall be required of
a student when a member of the
faculty, with the support of the
English department, so
recommends.

Voted to request that the
trustees remove from Goucher's
by-laws the phrase "and that the
study of the sacred scriptures
shall be a part of the curriculum
of every student who is graduated
from the said College."

Voted that students be allowed
to undertake independednt work
at any time beginning with the
second semester of the freshman
year.

Agreed that every candidate for
the degree must successfully
complete in her senior year an
exercise which demonstrates her
ability to integrate the material

these schools were usually very
active in community volunteer
programs and underground
student activities.

4. There seems to be a definite
relationship between the level
of degree awarded by the
institution and the tendency
toward student protests. The
higher the degree awarded by an
institution, the more likely it is
to have student protests, the
study found. Of the institutions
participating in this study which
granted less than a B.A. degree,
24.8% reported increased student
protests while 67.1% of the Ph.D.
granting institutions did.

5. Size of the institution was
cited as an even more reliable
indicator of student protest.

Student involvement in the
making of institutionalized policy
is not the answer to the problem
of student un rest, Dr.
Hodgkinson writes. Ironically,
student involvement in
institutional policy making may
actually lead to increased student
protest.

In case there are any of you
who, after six convocations, still
have not caught on to the
customary procedure, I will
procede to enlighten you upon
this point. Most students find it
easy to adjust to the standard
agenda; others do not, and these
we engage later as speakers on the
subject of coping with radicals.

STEP l-Hymn. At this time the
entire assembly raises its
collective voice in song.
Selections range from Dies Irae to
Jesus Loves Me, depending on the
occasion. If you are a music
major with an inclination towards
voice, try singing alto, tenor, or
bass. Or a whole different song if
you think it will work.

STEP ll-Prayer. First of all,
stifle the urge to kneel; that thing
on the back of the chair in front
of you is a hymnal holder, not a
chin rest. Bow your head, close
your eyes, and remember that
only certain animals sleep
standing up. This is a good time
to make plans for the rest of the
period. You might also want to
include a brief petition
concerning that forthcoming test.
It is not advisible to shout "Glory
Hallelujah!" or "Amen,

may, however, make a discreet
exclamation at the end.

had best pay attention to these or
you will be uninformed as to
anything not posted somewhere.
Who would want to miss a

you about anyway. You will

of the demands that are made on

Lovers and Other Strangers

each other at all. The Italian
parents of the groom are very

The University Center

Even after 32 years of
existence, the University Center
in Georgia, Inc., remains an
obscure, little-used resource for
many scholars in the region. The
ideals and purposes upon which it
is based have been forgotten or
ignored. More importantly, the
potential of the system has not
been fully realized.

As a smaller member of the
University Center, Agnes Scott
College could use the facilities of
the Center to a great advantage if
students and faculty become
aware of these facilities and make
use of them.

A booklet published by the
University Center, "Partnership
for Progress," explains the reason
for the organization's existence
and the resources it offers.
Accoring to the booklet, six

Georgia institutions created the
University Center in 1938 in
order to strengthen their
individual resources by
eliminating needless duplication
of facilities.

The general aim of the system
was to give "the young people of
the state and region the
opportunities for leadership
which a great university can give
them." Agnes Scott College
became a charter member of the
organization.

Currently eight other
institutions in addition to Scott
comprise the University Center.
These include Emory University,
Atlanta School of Art, Columbia
Theological Seminary, Georgia
Tech, Georgia State, Oglethorpe
College and the University of
Georgia in Athens. Also

Blackfriars to present
"Hedda Gaoler"

by TRICIA EDWARDS

November 19-21, Blackfriars
will present Hedda Gabler, a play
which offers a particular
challenge because of its
dependence on the lead played
by Tricia Johnston.

Hedda Gabler is a woman
frustrated by her inability to
break out of society's mold.
Because she cannot resolve her
conflict between what she is and
what she would like to be, she
seeks pleasure in her power to
make others miserable. She
manipulates her husband Tesman,
played by Gus Mann who was
also cast as Oberon in
Midsummer's Night Dream, and
his Aunt Julianne, Julianne
Lyons.

She attempts to control her old
sweetheart Ejlert Lovburg, Jim
Calingham, and his campanion
and inspiration Tea, Trina Van
Duyn. Ejlert's failure to conform

to the role of Dionysian hero that
she creates for him generates her
destruction.

This play was chosed by
Blackfriars nlay reading
committee from ten to fifteen
others. The committee's decisions
are regulated by the practice of
having a serious play with small
cast in the fall and a larger
comedy in the spring. Availability
of male actors also is a
contributing factor.

Hedda Gabler's strong points
are its two good women's roles,
as well as, two good character
parts. The play turns on the
tensions of interaction of a small
cast. Assistant director Elizabeth
Jones feels the play's problems lie
within making it become
relevant. "Hedda Gabler is rather
outdated. It is difficult to make
come to life without lapsing into
melodrama.

In addition to the play's teaching directing and coaching

challenge, this is the first time Blackfriars this quarter. Elizabeth

represented is the Atlanta
University Center, Inc., which is
composed of Atlanta University,
the Interdenominational
Theological Center, and Clark,
Morehouse, Morris Brown, and
Spelman colleges.

In addition to alleviating
duplication, the University
Center set down other specific
goals for its member institutions.

One goal seems particularly
applicable to and useful foi
Scott-"the exchange, on a basis
fair to each institution, of as
many resources and facilities as
may be practicable, including
books, laboratory equipment,
classroom facilities, faculty
services, administrative advisory
services, and the like."

In some aspects this goal has
been met. Dean Julia T. Gary of
Agnes Scott listed the Library
Union Catalogue and the Visiting
Scholars program as the
accomplishments to date. The
Union Catalogue, housed in the
Asa Griggs Candler Library at
Emory, holds an entry for every
book in the libraries of the
member schools.

Anyone is welcome to use the
Union Catalogue. Its services
may be employed, without any
charge, by mail, telephone, or in
person.

The other current program of
exchange, the Visiting Scholars
Program, helps attract leaders in
various academic fields to the
region. These leaders then visit
three or four campuses during a
span of three to four days,
participating in lectures ana
seminars to which all University
Center schools are invited.

Dean Gary
commented that this program can
be excellent for attracting experts
in small, specialized fields.
(Continued on page 8)

Could computers help Scott?

Of eight schools comprising the
University Center, seven
currently use computers for
student registration, grade
tabulations, and many routine
administrative and financial
procedures.

Agnes Scott College is the one
college that has not
"computerized" itself in these
areas. However, the prospects of
introducing computers into
Scott's organization have been
under study for four years.

Currently a faculty committee
(the Computer Committee)

continues to investigate the
feasibility of adding a new
computer to the campus.

The findings of this committee,
along with the reports of other
concerned people in the college

community, serve to show why
Scott has not joined the other
schools in computerizing itself
and the advantages and
disadvantages of doing so.

Computers are not totally
foreign to Scott. The college
already owns a keypunch
machine for coding the data
cards, and the chemistry
department houses a small
computer to which all
departments have access.

Last spring the Leasco
corporation rented to Scott a
"terminal" which was connected
by phone to a master computer
in Baltimore. This was placed in
Campbell and removed last
spring. In addition, the IBM
corporation offered a computer
to the school for "trial" use last

by CAROLE KROC

year, but this offer was rejected.

Several Scott students and
professors "rent time" from
Emory University for the use of
its computer system.

The purpose of placing a larger
computer on the Agnes Scott
campus is obvious. First,
registration of students could
proceed more rapidly and
efficiently. With a computer each
student has a card with her name
and requested courses and
sections punched onto it. Once
the computer receives these
cards, it responds by printing out
the students' schedules, notices
of classes already full, and the
class roll for each course and
section (names listed

alphabetically, of course). If
students pre-register, all this

could be done by the opening of
the fall quarter.

A computer could also be
responsible for recording every
student's grades each quarter.
The machine can print out the
reports, tabulate credits and
quality-point ratios, and calculate
percentages of students receiving
certain grades. All this
information could be stored
permanently on the computer's
"discs."

Other jobs for a computer on
the Scott campus include storage
and updating of school accounts,
student-bank accounts, and cost
accounting. Payroll accounts and
payroll checks would also be
handled by the computer. In
addition, the machine can keep
the permanent records of all

alumnae and their addresses
without losing any of them!

Mr. Ronald Wilde, assistant
professor of mathematics and
chairman of the Computer
Committee, Mr. Philip Reinhart,
assistant professor of physics and
instructor of Scott's computer
course, and Mr. William Hannah,
school treasurer, have studied the
types of computers needed to
fulfill the demands of this
campus.

After observing several
demonstrations of different
computers, they report that ASC
would benefit most from one
IBM System 3 computer. This
machine handles all the business
which Scott would need it for.

On who/ grounds?

The PROFILE would like to congratulate Lecture
Committee for their attempts to ascertain all students
opinion through their questionnaire. We encourage students
to respond.

We have often wondered on what grounds the various
and numerous committees on campus based their proposals
for change. The few students represented on the
committees are hardly representative of the student body.
Open meetings are not adequate.

Perhaps we need more systematic committees which
attempt to collect facts as well as verbal suggestions and
complaints. It may be that facts have been gathered and
surveys such as that done by Lecture Committee have been
made though not to our knowledge. If this is the case
please inform the PROFILE, we would be interested in the
results.

Last spring quarter the PROFILE gathered information
on general areas of student life through a qustionnaire. Of
722 students last year 386 replied: senior (last year's
juniors)-75, juniors-19, sophomores, -144, last year's
graduating class-48.

Some of the questions and responses pertaining to
academics are presented below.

To the question, "Has Agnes Scott lived up to your
expectations academically?" the most frequent response
was "yes".

In relation to academic work, most students checked that
they were either "stimulated" or "nervous about grades."
Last year's freshmen class in particular was nervous about
grades.

To the question, "If you find something you are
interested in which is not required but which you would
like to do, i.a read a book, research a subject, do you?" the
most frequent response among all classes was "don't have
time and don't pursue the interest."

Most students responded that they felt 3/4 or 1/2 of
their academic grade was based on memorizing.

Response to "What would you discribe as academic
pressure as far as you, yourself are concerned?" was most
often rated as "too much emphasis on grades-high," "too
much work not enough time to do a good job-high," "not
enough time to relax-high," "not enough time for social
activities-normal."

In response to the question, "Do you feel you would let>
or do you let, your grades suffer for social reasons?" most
students in each class responded "no".

Perhaps these responses may be of interest to those
committees working on academic issues. The responses
need to be explored in more detail.

Students
needed

by DEBBIE JORDAN

The student Committee on
Community Affairs headed by
Betheda Fries is now off the
planning board. When organized
by Rep last spring quarter,
Student Government officials
hoped that this group would
bridge the "communication gap"
between Agnes Scott and the
Decatur-Greater Atlanta area.

The purpose of the committee
now appears to be fourfold -
dispersal of information,
including names and addresses,
about community needs;
communications with existing
organizations in the community;
coordination of activities for
those at Scott, both students and
faculty, who wish to participate;
and finally, initiation of several
limited projects on which the
group as a whole will work.

The committee was given the
freedom to study the existing
problems and thus plan what

(Continued on page 8)

To the Editor:

Priscil la Offen's article in last
week's Profile, "Separate
Education for Women," greatly
clarified and distilled to essence
the points made by Mr. Truman,
President of Mount Holyoke
College, in his article for the
summer issue of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Quarterly Magazine.
The questions raised in the
editorial section were insightful
and constructive.

It will be interesting and
perhaps helpful to the ASC

community if Mr. Truman's
argument is looked at more
closely. Essentially, his
propositions are as follows: Some
women cannot harmonize the
sexual and intellectual aspects of
their personalities without a sense
of impending psychological
trauma. The nurturing,
protective, and isolated
environment of a Women's
College enables this kind of
women to

feeling threatened. (Or put it
another way, some women will
not feel secure unless they can be
intellectual grinds during the
week and femme fatales on the
weekend.) Therefore, there is a
need for the all Women's College.

A few comments are in order:

a. Mr. Truman's analysis may
be dated. Fewer and fewer
women appear to have
psychological difficulty
integrating the sexual and
intellectual manifestations of
their personalities. In this age of
Women's Lib, the principal isses
are the question of equal pay for
equal work and the question of
equality of opportunity.

b. Those students who have the
psychological difficulties
mentioned above would be well
advised to seek psychiatric help.
In fact, the pressures of an all
Women's College may be
psychologically destructive and

develop without damaging to a person with such

Put college to test
rather than student!

In a recent
College Entrance Examination
Board, according to the
"Constitution'\Nov. 1, 1970, the
national testing program was
criticized for not serving the
interests of the students, but
focusing instead on the interests
of colleges.

enrollment is expected to jump
50 percent during the next 15
years, according to census figures.
Total enrollment is expected to
reach approximately 11.5 million
in 1985, compared to the current
7.5 million. About half the
expected increase would be due
to increased population and half
due to an increased proportion of
young people going to college.

The main criticism was that the
test failed to recognize a ''ideal
variety of talents, skills, and
mental attributes."

The suggested reforms of the
testing program were to provide a
broader variety of tests not only
in academic areas, but also in
vocational, technical, and artistic
fields so as to give the college and
the student a better idea of the
college. This test would include
statistics on class size, rate of
drop-outs, and social and
intellectual climates as obtained
from student questionnaires.

study by the Before student scores can be sent
to the college, it is required that
the college take the test prior to
this time.

Over 1,400 colleges and
universities are being sent the
recommendations of this
commission. About 900 colleges
require that a student take the

Scholastic Aptitude Test of the
College Entrance Board and
another 350 require separate
exams in foreign languages,
history and others. This is what is
normally required for entrance to
a liberal arts or scientific
education. It is felt that because
there are other fields these tests
are too narrow a measure to
apply to all those who might
benefit from college.

The reforms, if approved, could
be put into effect within one to
three years and most definitely
by the end of the decade.

problems.

c. By intellectually separating
women from men, a Women's
College helps to perpetuate some
of the problems Mr. Truman
hopes they will solve. In
particular, experience at such
institutions tends to reinforce the
erroneous idea that women
should express themselves
intellectually only among
themselves and not in the
heterogenous outside world.

d. One of the several
advantages of a co-educational
institution is that it is conducive
to a natural day to day
expression of all the aspects of
one's personality.

e. It should be noted that in his
article, Mr. Truman admits, "We
have a committee made up of
faculty, trustees, alumnae,
students, and administration,
who are examining the matter of
future policy of Mount Holyoke
concerning co-education."
(Perhaps ASC should have a
similar committee!)

Conceivably, there are other
arguments why ASC should
remain an all Women's College.
The strongest argument Blue
Argo mentions in her Profile
articke, "Will Agnes Scott go
Co-educational?", relates to the
large capital outlay that would be
required.

One should be hesitant to say
that ASC is unwilling and unable
to raise funds for a necessary
improvement. Other colleges have
surmounted this challenge.
Further, if fewer and fewer
women desire to go to a Women's
College and if ASC wants to
maintain its high admissions
standards, it is possible the
college will experience a financial
squeeze because of the reduced
number of tuition payments it
receives.

Where do we go from here?

by SUSAN PROPST and ELLEN WILLINGHAM

The choice of an occupation
after graduation is a widely
discussed topic on this campus,
especially among seniors. Finding
a job can be a complex problem.

Miss lone Murphy, director of
vocational services, cited a
number of aspects which
contribute to the difficulty of
vocational choice.

She pointed out that the
problem goes beyond our
particular community.. .it relates
to the stereotype of the
masculine and feminine role

that make it difficult for us to

glamourous places.

In an interview, Dr. Alston said
that vocation is a field that is
very important to students.. .there
is a feeling that we are not doing
as much as we could, or that
what we are doing is not as well
publicized as it should be. He
added that Mortar Board is
helping as much as possible. Dr.
Alston also said that he would
like to see people here interested

Expanding on this, Miss

need for an understanding of a

illustrated this with publishing.
She said that if you consult the
yellow pages, it would suggest
that there are a host of publishing
opportunities in the Atlanta area-
whereas, when you know their
functions, the majority of them
are sales representatives 'rather
than engaged in putting together
a book, journal, or some other
publication.

Another suggestion she made
was to visit other liberal arts
colleges for women in diverse
sections of the country to discuss
their programs and to see their
physical layout. Also, she
suggested the idea of working
with each of the academic
departments and setting up some
sort of seminar in the sophomore

addition, she saw the advantages
of having a cross-class advisory
committee.

Miss Murphy said that in the
files there is a tremendous
amount of information
concerning student participation
in summer work and part-time
work. She said that the best
source for summer employment
is where some other Agnes Scott
student has established a
favorable clirnate for future
applicants and she would like to
issue a directory concerning these
areas.

Finally, Miss Murphy suggested
that she would like to issue a
periodic newsletter to

disseminate general information
concerning the labor market.

specific recommendations for
eliminating employment

With more and more women's
colleges going co-ed, one begins
to think about what the future
holds for ASC. Dr. Alston said
recently that he saw no chance
for ASC to go co-ed in the
"forseeable future" because the
school would have to increase
dorms, athletic field, make course
changes etc.

senior classes were interviewed to
see how they felt about ASC
going co-ed.

answers. Typical examples were: to ASC. As one senior expressed
"Girls in girls schools don't it, "The classroom situation her is

they can talk to. They only think class more vitality." One junior
of boys as dates. If they don't was afraid that boys would

want to date- the boy, they don't
think there is anything else to the
boy."

"I would like to see ASC go
co-ed. The girls here have a
warped view of boys. There is no
chance to have informal contact
with them because of the formal
date."

Most of the girls felt that
having boys in the classroom
would be a definite improvement

dominate the discussions in class

and make her feel "inferior".

In discussing some of the

advantages of ASC being a girls

school, one junior said the thing

she liked about Scott was that

"Without boys around, it is easier

for me to settle down during the

week to concentrate on my

studies and to socialize during the

weekend "

A senior felt that there was a

place for a girls school in the first

two years of college because 1 it
gave the girl a chance to adjust to
college in a close, warm
atmosphere, but she could not
see any advantage to remaining
after two years.

This same girl thought that
even if Scott could not go co-ed,
it could take a step in the right
direction by becoming part of an
exchange program such as the
one recently started at Davidson,
Hollins, and Washington and Lee.
The exchange program allows
students to go to different
colleges in the program for a

Speech given by Mr. Moomaw at Investiture

A Crisis of Understanding:Stude

A few weeks ago, when Or. Edward
McCrady, the Vice Chancellor of the
University of the South, was here for
our Honor's Day Convocation, he
spoke of two obstacles that stand in
the way of the continuance of life on
this planet. The solution to the first,
dealing with the problems surrounding
pollution and the destruction of our
environment, is a mere "child's play,"
he said, compared to the difficulty of
solving the second.

Dr. McCrady, who is a physicist
himself, explained, to our great relief,
though perhaps not to our complete
comprehension, that in fact science
can solve rather easily our
environmental crisis by some sort of
grand combination of hydrogen and
helium atoms that somehow will make
all the pollution go away. For the
second problem Dr. McCrady said he
had no solution and saw none in sight.
This second obstacle is the problem of
man learning somehow to live in peact
with his fellow man, the problem of
all the people on earth learning to get
along with each other before the
weapons of war destroy not only all
of us but the planet as well.

There is no question but that Dr.
McCrady has correctly identified the
crucial problem as well as the
pessimism that we all must feel about
the possibility of its solution. We need
only to pick up our morning
newspaper or to catch the evening
news, however, to know that the
immediate problem for the people of
the United States is not so much how
to live in peace with the Russians, or
the Chinese or the Arabs, but how to
live in peace with ourselves.

Nation in crisis

I believe that our Nation today is in
the midst of a truly national crisis, a
crisis so deep and so explosive that
our Nation may be on the verge of
being completely torn asunder. Some
speak today of whether this or that
institution, the college, the family, the
Church and so on, an survive these
trying, changing times. But the
imperative question, I believe, is
whether this Nation can survive.

There are many facets of this crisis
that we could and should discuss in a
quest for solutions. Today I want to
speak briefly about only one of them:
the crisis confronting America's
colleges and universities, their
students and their teachers the crisis,
in short as it directly touches us.

The tension that seems to exist
between a large part of society on the
one hand and the Nation's college and
university communities on the other
represents, it seems to me, a crisis of
understanding. By this I mean that the
society and perhaps the colleges and
universities themselves seem to be
losing sight of the goal for which
higher education exists, of the role
that colleges and universities are
supposed to play in a free society.

Attack on colleges
and universities

Today the intellectual community is
under attack from many sides. We are
accused of responsibility for just
about every ill that society suffers and
told to get back in our ivory towers
where we belong and leave the
problems of the world to others.

For the first time in our history
students and professors have become a

major issue in a National political
campaign. Politicians of every stripe
are asking the American people to
believe that we are the major issue in
this campaign and that the American
people should, once and for all, put us
in our places. Even our own
Congressman insists that student
violence is the major issue in his
campaign for re-election here in this
district when, in fact, neither Agnes
Scott nor Emory, as far as I have
heard, has yet to experience its first
incidence of violence.

About the dearest statement that I
have heard of what America's leaders
and many of its citizens think of us
emerged recently from a prominent
person in Washington. Professors in
general were the target of the remarks
as it was charged that "the academic
society is responsible for all of our
troubles in this country. The whole
academic society is to blame," the
spokesman said, "the professors in
every institution of learning. Had
educators not adopted 'a leftist'
political philosophy, they would lead
the path of Americanism rather than
the path of communism," the
statement continues. "Professors are
the sidewalk diplomats who do not
know and have no right to express an
opinion. There are more repercussions
in our society today because of them.
They are totally responsible for the
sins of our children. The professors
have not taken care of our children.
They are at fault for a whole
generation of children." I could go on
and quote another line in which we in
college and university life come out as
"effete snobs," or even another in
which we come out as "bums," but I
think that will be unnecessary to
make my point.

Central issue:

role of colleges

Much of society and many of our
leaders just don't seem to like us very
much. The question is, Why? What
have we done to become the target of
the criticism that is being hurled in
our direction? The central issue is, of
course, what is the role of colleges and
universities in American society and it
involves the additional question of
whether we are now plaing that role
or whether we have strayed from the
proper path.

Declaration of
Independence

To try and get an answer to these
questions, it is going to be necessary
for me to go back one hundred and
ninety-four years to 1776 and then to
skip up to the year 1819. It was on
July 4, 1776, that members of the
Continental Congress met in
Philadelphia to affix their signatures
to a startling, revolutionary document
that had been written by one of their
youngest members. The document
was the Declaration of Independence.
The thirty-two year old upstart who
wrote it was Thomas Jefferson.
Forty-three years later, in 1819, the
then seventy-five year old upstart
culminated his life's dream in the
presence of three presidents of the
United States and a host of other
dignitaries by dedicating the first
building at the University of Virginia.
The two events are intimately
connected. For Jefferson, the
founding of a University was a logical

extension of the individual freedom
and dignity that he had espoused in
the Declaration of Independence.

But I fear that Jefferson's
Declaration of Independence has
fallen on hard times. One of its
saddest days was marked in
Washington, D. C, this past July 4.
The event was called "Honor America
Day," but I don't think Mr.
Jefferson would have thought that we
did ourselves very much honor by it.
The program for the day was planned
and presented by two comedians and
an evangelist with the set by Walt
Disney Studios. The day consisted of
music, speeches, and a few laughs, but
at no point was one single sentence
read from the Declaration of
Independence.

One wonders if the Nation has
forgotten what July 4th is supposed
to honor. Following the July 4th
weekend, newspapers were replete
with stories of the inability of
Americans everywhere from Saigon to
Atlanta to recognize the Declaration.
Around military bases and on the
streets of our cities, citizens
throughout the Nation refused to
accept copies. After reading the first
paragraph many accused the persons
distributing them of peddling
communist, left wing, unpatriotic
literature.

What is the Declaration of
Independence all about? To begin
with we should say that the political
theory expressed by Jefferson in the
Declaration was not original with him.

The Declaration of Independence is
a great document because in it
Jefferson was able to bring together
volumes of political thought which
had been developing for centuries and
express the essence of Western
democratic philosophy in a few
sentences. Listen while I read you just
two of them:

We hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among
these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of Happiness. That to
secure these rights, Governments
are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed, That
whenever any Form of
government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new
Government laying its foundation
on such priciples and organizing
its powers in such form, as to
them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness.

The emphasis in the Declaration of
independence is upon the importance
of the individual, an individual who
possesses inalienable rights, who is
politically equal to all other men, who
is capable of rational choice, capable
of making decisions for himself,
capable of governing himself, capable
of thinking for himself.

Governments serve
people; not people
who serve

governments

Government exists for the purpose
of securing these rights to the
individual. The Declaration is not
saying that the people of a Nation
exist for the purpose of protecti the

government. It is the other way
around. It is the government that is to
serve the people; not the people who
are to serve the government.

If the government fails to fulfill its
obligations to the the people, then,
says the Declaration, the people have
a right to abolish it and to institute
new government.

The Declaration of Independence is
indeed revolutionary, as it was meant
to be. To many Americans today,
perhaps even to its leaders, it must
sound downright subversive. What a
paradox it is that one never hears the
Declaration of Independence invoked
these days in support of National
policies. But, like it or not, it is the
theory on which this Nation was
founded.

The columnist Henry J. Taylor
wrote recently that "Patriotism means
to stand by Your Country." Well, that
is not what it meant to Thomas
Jefferson and to the people who
founded this nation. The definition of
patriotism given by Carl Schurz comes
much closer to capturing the beliefs of
our founding fathers. "Not my
country right or wrong," he said, "but
my country, if she is right, and to set
her right, if she is wrong."

Freedom

Now how does all this fit into the
founding of a University? For
Jefferson, writing the Declaration of
Independence was another step in the
development of his own thinking on
the importance of the freedom of the
individual spirit. To him individual
freedom was not only important for
the individual, but also important for
the survival and perpetuation of a free
Nation.

He advocated freedom in all its
aspects as essential to the well being
of a Nation. Freedom of thought,
freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom to learn.

In the academic area, he spoke and
argued for the "illimitable freedom of
the human mind." "I have sworn
eternal hostility," he said, "against
every form of tyranny over the mind
of man."

Long before he got around to
founding a University, Jefferson was
confronted in his campaign for the
Presidency in 1800 with the issues of
freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, and the right of the people to
dissent from and protest against the
actions of their government.
Specifically, the issue in that
campaign was the hated Alien and
Sedition Acts which had been passed
to silence such activities. Jefferson
won the election by campaigning
against repression of dissent and
protest, and upon taking office saw to
the restoration of these freedoms.

In his first Inaugural, Jefferson
explained the importance of allowing
dissent in these words: "If there be
any among us who would wish to
dissolve this Union or to change it ...
form, let them stand undisturbed as
monuments of the safety with which
error of opinion may be tolerated
where reason is free to combat it."

During his eight years in the
presidency Jefferson met considerable
frustration because of the barbs and
criticisms that were leveled by the
press. But he resisted the temptation
to strike back, to try to intimidate the
press into submission, or to suggest
their censorship. Instead Jefferson
wrote to a friend, "Let the press be
free and all is safe."

The subject of freedom of the press

was at issue the other night on CBS
and Eric Severied made this
explanation of it: "The central point
about freedom of the press," he said,
"is not that it be accurate, though it
must try to be; not that it even be
fair, though it must try to be that; but
that it be free." I think Mr. Jefferson
would have approved of that
explanation.

It is the weak who

cannot stand to
be criticized

The whole point is that allowing
dissent and protest makes the strong
stronger, the free freer. It is the weak
who cannot stand to be criticised, not
the strong. This same point was made
even better by John Stuart Mill in his
Essary on Liberty in 1859. This*is
what Mill said:

...the peculiar evil of silencing the
expression of an opinion is that it is
robbing the human race; posterity
as well as the existing generation;
those who dissent from the opinion,
still more than those who hold it. If
the opinion is right, they are
deprived of the opportunity of
exchanging error for truth: if
wrong, they lose what is almost as
great a benefit, the clearer
perception and livelier impression of
truth, produced by its collision with
error.

Truth, in other words, upon which
all progress depends, is only

obtainable when all ideas-good and
bad-have free access to the open
marketplace of thought and
communication and are free to
compete there for acceptance. As one
of my favorite professors once said,
"The community that is denied the
opportunity for this exchange is
denied democracy." It is also denied
progress.

It was to provide a place for the
search for this kind of truth mat
Jefferson founded the University of
Virginia. "For here we are not afraid
to follow the truth," he said,
"wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate
error so long as reason is free to
combat it."

Thus Jefferson's reason for
founding his University was the same
reason for which he gought the Alien
and Sedition laws and the same reason
he used to justify a revolution in the
Declaration of Independence.
Freedom. That was the reason. The
illimitable freedom of the human
mind. This is man's great inalienable
right-the right to seek the truth
wherever it may be found.

This then is the purpose of colleges
and universities in America. It is their
whole reason for being. They are
rooted in the very founding of this
nation and they must be intimately
associated with its destiny.

Right and duty
to be involved

A member of the intellectual
community is not, therefore, the kind
of person who can or should be told
to go back into his ivory tower and
mind his own business, for an
educated person is one who is vitally
interested in an concerned for the
problems of the world around him

and Teachers in American Society

and is able and anxious to lend his
talents to their solution. "The great
permanent institutions, like the
church and universities/' Henry
Wirston has written, "have been those
which freely acknowledged their roots
in the past, while seeking to make life
here and now significant and vital."

Because we in America's colleges
and universities tudy, and are aware of
and have respect for the course that
man has charted through his history,
we are peculiarly qualified to be
intimate and active participants in
today's community.

President Alston's charge to last
year's graduatmg class was that they
should "go ever more deeply into
life." I believe that that is exactly
what an educated person should do;
and that that is exactly what colleges
and universities should prepare their
students to do; and, moreover, that
that is exactly what colleges and
universities themselves should do. But
we have more than a right to be
involved. More importantly, we also
have a duty to be involved.

Colleges and universities are
supposed to be the most vital, the
most significant, the most concerned,
the most exciting places in a
community.

As Malcolm Moos, President of the
University of Minnesota, said not long
ago.

The ills of our ... society are too
numerous, too serious, and too
fateful to cause anyone to believe
that serenity is the proper mark of
an effective intellectual community.
Even in calmer times any. ..college
or university worthy of the name
has housed relatively vocal
individuals and groups of widely
diverging political persuasions..:.
The society which tries to get its
children taught by fettered and
fearful minds is trying not only to
destroy its institutions of higher
learning, but also to destroy itself.

College-place of

challenge,

innovation

Colleges and universities are
supposed to be places of challenge.
Here we are willing to be challenged
by the new problems and new issues
of a new age. Here we are not tied to
the same old methods of solving the
same old problems. Here we are free
to innovate, to try new methods of
helping today's generation to find
their own truth. It is here that
intelligent men and women come
together to seek knowledge, to think
freely, to be original, to be creative.
Here in an atmosphere free from the
pressures and obligations of regular
society, we exchange with each other
new and different ideas about the
past, the present, and about the
future.

Knowledge
for what?

We come here to learn -about the
world-about man-his history, his
literature, his culture, his religion. But
for what? Knowledge for what? We do
not exist simply for our own sakes.
We exist as part of a greater whole. In
his true state, Emersqn said, the
scholar is "man thinking." But
Emerson also argued that it is a
mistake to conceive thought as

distinct from action or ideas as hostile
to involvement. "There goes in the
world," he said:

a notion that the scholar should be
a recluse, a valetudinarian, as unfit
for any handiwork.... As far as this
is true of the studious classes, it is
now just and wise. Action is with
the scholar subordinate, but it is
essential. Without it he is not yet
man. Without it thought can never
ripen into truth.... Inaction is
cowardice, but there can be no
scholar without the heroc mind.
The preamble of thought, the
transition through which it passes
from the unconscious to the
conscious, is action.
Colleges and universities are not
places where people go to get away
from the world as in a convent, or
places where people can be uninvolved
with the problems of the world as in a
monastery. We come here to learn
about the world and about mankind
for a purpose.

Every college and university in this
country is a part of this world and a
part of the community in which it
exists, and because of the special
position of these intellectual
communities, we have special
obligations to our communities.

The institutions, the students and
the professors, must use their talents
for the benefit of their communicites.
Knowledge for what? Knowledge for
the betterment of mankind,
knowledge to influence the course of
his whole destiny. The scholar, as
Emerson said, must be a person of
action, a person who uses his
knowledge to the betterment of his
fellows.

Where does all this leave us then
with regard to the crisis of
understanding that exists today
between a large segment of the society
and its leaders on the one hand and
the colleges and university
communities on the other? What are
the sins that we professors and
students are supposed to be guilt of?

If the accusation against us is that
we are the cause of mass burnings of
buildings, of murder and other
atrocities, then we plead not guilty. In
this we and society are on the same
side. Freedom is an important and
necessary ingredient in our society,
but I do not suggest that it has no
limitations. President Moos speaks for
all of us when he says that, "Violation
of the rights of other citizens, on or
off the campus, is plainly wrong. It is
plainly wrong no matter how
high-minded the alleged motivation
for such activity. Those who claim the
right to interfere with the speech or
movement, or safety, or instruction of
others on a campus, and claim that
right because their hearts are pure or
their greivance great, destroy the
climate of civility and freedom
without which a college or university
simply cannot function."

Finally, if the accusation against the
academic community is that we have
provided an atmosphere which may be
one cause of today's yound people
beginning to question through their
own free thinking the values of the
society in which they live, then we
must plead guilty and offer no
apologies.

Our purpose, let me quickly add, is
not to teach our students to question
their society. Our purpose is to
liberate their minds -to provide their
minds with Jefferson's illimitable
freedom. If they yese their freedom-
their ability to follow truth wherever
it may lead -to question the values of
their society, then so be it. if the
values need questioning, it is good
that they are questioned so that we

may exchange error for truth. If
society's values today are valid, it is
still good that they be questioned
because they will be made even
stronger by their collision with error.
In short, when society is in the right,
it need not fear being criticised.
Indeed, it should welcome it.

The crisis of understanding today I
believe involves a misunderstanding of
the role of the intellectual community
in the society. Much of society seems
to want ut to do something to their
children, while we want to do
something for their children.

Role of college-
teach students to
think for

themselves

Society does not seem to want us to
teach their children, to develop their
own thoughts and values. It seems to
want us to inculcate and reinforce
society's values, to teach the students
that they should do "society's thing,"
instead of their own. But this is not
our role. Our role is to teach these
students to think for themselves, to be

willing to stand up for what they
believe even if they are the only ones
who believe it. This society will not
survive any other way. There is no
other way that we can ever have
progress. There is no way that we can
ever keep pace with a changing world
if we do not have people who are
willing to think the unthinkable,
people who are willing to challenge
the established way of doing thirty,
people who are not afraid to be free,
people who refuse to bear the
unbearable.

William Faulkner made this point
better than I can. "Some things you
must always be unable to bear," he
said. "Some things you must never
stop refusing to bear. Injustice and
outrage and dishonor and shame. No
matter how young you are how old
you have got. Not for kudos and not
for cash; your picture in the that is
not new advice either. The thing that
is new is that today's young people
are beginning to follow it.

I want to close now by repeating for
the Class of '71 and for their
generation, for their parents jnd for
their generation, for a v^ r special
little girl who will be o/.a year old
tomorrow, and for her generation, for

generations to come, for all of us, the
charge that Issac Sharpless gave to the
Haverford graduating class of 1888.

"See you to it," he said, "that no
other institution, no political party,
no social circle, no religious
organization, no pet ambition, put
such chains on you as would tempt
you to sacrifice one iota of the moral
freedom of your consciences or the
intellectual freedom of your
judgements."

It was to secure this moral and
intellectual freedom that this nation
was founded and it was to extend this
moral and intellectual freedom that
this nation's colleges and universities
were founded.

If we continue to insist upon the
preservation of this freedom, upon the
preservation of this proper role of
students and teachers in our society,
misunderstanding can become
understanding, and eventually perhaps
we can help make our society whole
again. It is a big job. We have a grave
responsibility. I hope we are equal to
the task.

Campus probs-one manifestation

of national revolutionary movement

Cincinnati, Ohio-(I.P.)-Current
problems being experienced on
campuses are only one
manifestation of a much broader
problem--a nationsl revolutionary
movement-according to Dr.
Walter C. Langsam, president of
the University of Cincinnati.

He has told a meeting of his
top administrative advisors that
"the real danger facing our nation
s not turmoil on campuses but a
national revolution/' And this, he
added, the public and the
national government apparently
have been unable tounable or

unwilling to recognize.

Because of the revolutionary
movement, Dr. Langsam said,

any invective or sarcasm aimed
at a few hundred university
administrators is a diversion of
energy and a waste of time.

"All the university presidents
in America cannot stop a
revolution; this is the job of the
American people and their
government. Preserving America
is one bill that cannot be
passed."

Dr. Langsam also announced
the formation of a task force to

be charged with proposing
guidelines for opening-and
keeping open-the University.
This group will be broadly based
and include members from the
general public as well as UC
faculty members, students, and
administrators.

The task force "will give full
and thorough consideration to
means of restoring and
maintaining permanently a
climate conducive to higher
education at UC," Dr. Langsam
said.

Campus politics endangers
academic freedom

Chicago, III. -(I .P.)-Universities
that encourage and arrange for
faculty and students to engage in
political activities are in danger of
destroying academic freedom,
declares Philip B. Kurland,
Professor of Law at the
University of Chicago, editor of
the "The Supreme Court
Review," and a constitutional law
expert.

"A University," he said,
"cannot be both a political force
and an institution dedicated to
the search for knowledge and its
dissemination. As a university
makes a political commitment, it
destroys its claim to academic
freedom. And without academic
freedom, the search for and

dissemination of knowledge
becomes more shadow than
substance."

Kurland also criticized
universities for allowing students
to receive credit for courses they
did not attend, for paying
faculties for not teaching while
thay are engaged in political
activities, and for allowing
campus facilities to be used for
those purposes.

Kurland said if universities
persisted in such activities "the
universities we have known will
essentially become caretaker
institutions. Answers will be
substituted for questions.
Indoctrination will replace

education.

"The colleges and universities
may become political
institutions, but when they do,
they will no longer be able to
serve as anything more than
elementary educational
institutions from which only a
few ever enter the world of
higher education."

"This is the price that America
will pay for the cowardice of its
university faculties. It may not be
too high a price. After all, what
would be the function of an
old-fashioned kind of university
in 1984 except to breed critics of
orthodoxy? And in 1984 who
will need critics of orthodoxy?

Students form
singing group

The Agnes Scott Madrigal
Singers have been relatively
unknown on our campus.
Beginning our third year of
practicing and performing, - the
group is now functioning under a
new constitution as a second
music ensemble.

The Madrigal Singers perform
primarily music of medival
Europe, though occasionally they
branch into the Baroque and
Contemporary periods.

Because of an interest in
exposing the campus and the
community to this newly-revived
art of madrigal singing, Marty
Perkerson and Nancy Weaver
started the Madrigals Singers at
the beginning of the 1968-69
school session. Much enthusiasm
and encouragement came from
Mr. McDowell, Chairman of the
Music Department, and Mrs.
Mathpws, the Glee Club Director.

Now, after two years ~6T
cCHttrriued success with more and
more student interest in our
group, The Agnes Scott Madrigal
Singers is assuming a relative
degree of independence, although
ties with the Glee Club will
remain strong.

Tally-Ho

A new professional acting
company will make its debut
November 17, at the Tally Ho
Dinner Theater in Sandy Springs.
Heading the new project will be
director Jim Way. Way, with the
backing of businessmen Tom
Calloway, Robert Bonner, and
Carl Wilson will form an Equity
Company of Atlanta actors-
called THE ATLANTA ACTORS'
COMPANY.

Way was Production Director
of Theater of the Stars for five
seasons and has directed a
number of successful
productions.

Way has announced the
premiere production of the new
company.. DRACULA.
"DRACULA seems to me the
perfect play to show the new
look at the Tally Ho. It is a
drama that insists oh fine
performances and exciting
theatrical technical effects*

Fencing tournament

by PATRICIA

Agnes Scott will host a day of
fencing tournaments organized
by the Greater Atlanta Fencing
Association on Saturday,
November 14, 1970 in the gym.
The tournaments, lasting all day,
will include men's foil, men's
e'pee', and woman's foil.
Participants are expected to come
from Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee, and Georgia.

The players will be divided into
pools of six or eight and each
player will play a bout with all
the members of his pool. A bout
consists of five hits against one
person. The three or four players
winning the most games from
each pool then compete. This is
carried on until a winner is

announced. The idea of fencing is Safavi.

"The Homecoming"

be the most personal of settings,

performed at the Academy
Theatre on Roswell Road. Frank
Wittow, executive artistic
director of the Academy, both

directs "The Homecoming" and Lenny, Tony Sciabona as Sam,

plays the lead, Max. The
production is excellent, but the
play is weird.

The play delves into and
portrays the interpersonal
relationships of the aged Max and
of his family, of a brother, three
sons, and a daughter-in-law. This
effective dramatization of what
goes on in this particular family
in London can be a very
meaningful indicator of some of
the interpersonal processes in
which we ourselves are involved.

I'm not sure I understand
Pinter, but I feel he suggests a
theme (among others) of the
depersonalization that people

Chris Currae as Joey, and Frank
Chew as Teddy. Page Lee and
Flors Levin alternate in the role
of Ruth.

''The Homecoming'' is
scheduled for every Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday night at
8:30 p.m. The Academy's address
is 3213 Roswell Road, NE.
Tickets are available to students
at $2.00 and regualr patrons at
$3.50 per ticket. Reservations
may be made by calling the
Academy at 233-9481. The play
opened October 22 and was
scheduled to run eight weeks, but
is being held over one more week

Sir John's lecture

by CINDY HARVEY

on Palmer

"Who in the world is Samuel
Palmer?" This question was heard
frequently previous to Sir John
R o th enstein's lecture on
Tuesday, November 10.

Lady Rothenstein gave me the
first hint to the mystery before
the lecture. She feels that he is
the most typically British painter.
He is a nineteenth-century
painter of landscapes whose work
is mystical and poetical.

Samuel Palmer was born in
1805 in London. He possessed an
intense love for nature at an early
age. His first work was
conventional, and by the time he
was fourteen he had some
paintings exhibited in 2 major
British museums.

At 19 Palmer met the
poet-artist William Blake, who
was 67 years old. What the young

artist saw in this old man was the
possibility of greatness in a man.
Both were visionaries and
mystics.

Palmer was strongly motivated
by "lyrical inspiration" before he
became 30. His landscapes are
unique and enchanting. They
often contain a moon and invite
one's imagination and dreams.

Some of his paintings are: "The
Sleeping Sheperd," ''Hilly
Scene/' "The Gleaning Field/'
"Coming From Evening Church."

In 1837 he married a woman
who did not understand him or
his work. They visited Italy
where Palmer learned to imitate
and paint fashionably. He lost his
old "lyrical inspiration" and early
style.

Palmer died at the age of 78 in
isolation and neglect.

Some freshmen thoughts during fall quarter

by PRISCILLA OFFEN and JAN FREDR1CKSON

How does a student feel about
Scott the fall quarter of her
freshman year? More than one
fourth of the entire student body
is in a position to answer that
question right now. The feelings
of six freshmen particularly
concerning the academic and
social life here at Scott are given
below.

For Peggy Dvorak college life
turned out to be somewhat
different from what she had
expected - she doesn't feel that
she was really prepared for it.

She expressed the need to get
into "a habit of study'' and she
hopes that Scott will teach her
this first year how to study so
that it won't be so bad her
Sophomore year. She also wants
to learn how to judge what is
expected of her in any given
course.

In English for example, it is all
"hit or mfss." "I don't know
what to do to get a 'B' or what
not to do to keep from getting an
'F'" Peggy feels that mid-term
grades are not a true show of
what she can do and she said that
she was glad that they weren't
going to be sent home.

Still Peggy expressed some real
hopefulness that is good to see in
any student. At first, going to
classes seemed to be a chore.
Things now seem to be "picking
up" however. "I had no where to
go but up." She said that she
feels like she is not staying on the
same level but is improving. "It's
almost as if I don't want to hurt
my professors by flunking their
tests."

Clare Groover said that she
realized that the grading
particularly for freshmen was
discouraging for some people but
that she felt that it was fair. "If
you went in and got an 'A' on the
first paper then you wouldn't
think that you had any more
work to do."

Although the academic load is
hard, "if the school lowered its
standards then the reputation of
the school as an academic

institution would not be
maintained." Still Clare sees a
definite need for the students to
become involved in things other
than academics. She gave as an
example open gym night when
only about 5 people show up.

Clare finds the social life here at
Scott pretty good. When asked
about blind dates she made the
comment that "they are fun to
talk about afterwards."

Molly Hand finds the grading
and the academic load hard, and
yet what she expected. "We all
knew it would be when we chose
this school."

About the social life at Scott,
Molly has some very interesting
views. "So much emphasis is put
on the weekend dates and on
Tech." Girls who don't have
dates need to have something to
do - a movie shown on campus,
etc.

Cathy Moon said that she
thought the academic load was
pretty stiff and that the
professors "give you too much to
do a good job on it." She saw the
need for going more deeply into
specific works, etc., rather than
covering so much ground so
quickly. Still she finds the work
here challenging and that she is
forced "to think.'

She dislikes the feeling of
having to spend so much time
studying when she would like to
get to know people other than
those on her hall.

Martha Stephenson said that
she came to Scott expecting the
worst grade-wise and so that the
grading hasn't seemed too bad. "I
don't have English 101 (she is
taking 102) and that's the
difference -others come in
delirious over a D+ on a paper."

The social life seems pretty
good to her. "You can get a date
any time you want one."

Martha's major likes about
Scott are her English class and
also the way that she has learned
more outside of class than in
class. She dislikes the fact that
she has so many things she'd like
to do - activities on campus and
in Atlanta - and yet doesn't have
time for them.

Becky Zittrauer said that she
thinks that the faculty makes a
point of grading the freshmen
harder than the other students in
the school. The academic load is
such a tremendous change from
high school that it is very
difficult to get adjusted to it. The
grading is definitely discouraging.
"If you worked hard and still
didn't get a good grade then why
bother to work at all?"

Becky was not disappointed in
the social life. There are chances
here to get out and meet people.

Her major likes are the'
academic atmosphere of
Scott -even though the work is
difficult, it's challenging-and the
quality of professors found here.
Some days seem however just like
one big test or critical paper.
"Sometimes I don't see how I
have time to study daily material
in between the tests and the
papers."

Astronomer to talk

On November 13, Scott
students will have the
opportunity to hear Dr. Paul H.
Knappenberger, an astronomer at
Fernbank Science Center, speak
during the Friday chapel in
Maclean. Dr. Knappenberger
teaches astronomy at Fernbank.
Furthermore he has worked and
continues to work actively with
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA).

Dr. Knappenberger's work with
NASA deals specifically with the
tracking of space flights-the
manned Apollo missions and
communications satellites, etc.
The telescope at Fernbank is

equipped with an "Image
Intensifier" which permits it to
follow bodies long distances into
space. Photographs taken through
this telescope were nationally
televised during the last Apollo
flights. Dr. Knappenberger has
been working in Washington to
plan for the next Apollo flight.

In the chapel, Dr.
Knappenberger will speak about
this work with NASA, the future
of the space program, and its
opportunities. He is also planning
to bring with him a few slides to
enhance his talk. Questions may
be asked following the lecture.

Male witch says his religion still relevant

, These two ceremonies are also |\j 0

(Editor's note: This article, is
reprinted from The Dakota
Student, October 23, 1970 )

Dr. Raymond Buckland, the
high priest of a New York witch
coven, said in an interview
Thursday that witchcraft is
misunderstood by the public and
is often confused with the other
occult arts, and that it was before
persecution began, a "religion of
the common people."

Buckland, who spoke in the
University Center Ballroom
Thursday night as a part of the
Board of Governor's "Witch
Week" activities, said he believes
in witchcraft as a way of life.

Satanism, tarot, astrology and
the forms of magic are all, he
said, only related to witchcraft in
that certain witches may have an
interest in them.

The origins of witchcraft,
according to Buckland, who has a
Ph.D. in anthropology, date back
at least 25,000 years to the
paleolithic era, and "evolved as
man did."

He said witchcraft acquired its
bad reputation because it
conflicted with Christianity and
was then persecuted.

With the invention of printing,
Buckland said, the Christian
churches were able to distribute
"anti=old religion literature" in
attempts to convert the common
people, who still believed in the
old ways.

"At first," he said, "they tried
to convert people who were

'witches.' Then they began to
destroy them."

Buckland said the old and new
religions got along together well
at first.

"Medieval ceremonial magic,"
he said, "relied on consecrated

The conception of a "Satan'
was a "Christian invention,"
according to Buckland. "Witches
didn't believe in a devil, but he's
needed in the Christian
religions," he said.
He called Satanism a

tools, and witches had the power "perversion of religion."

to consecrate the tools.

He said there were many
"churchmen" who practiced
magic, which is different from
witchcraft in that it involves the
conjuring of demons and spirits.
Buckland said witches "don't set
out to contact spirits, but often
the spirits make themselves
known."

There are many types of
magic, Buckland said, but "we
usually use magic for healing."
Besides "healing" magic, there is
also "sympathetic" magic.

In fact, he said, one of the
witch stereotype images is drawn
from an old ritual of sympathetic
magic. "Villagers would take
brooms into the fields, hold them
between their legs and jump," he
said, "with the belief that the
higher they jumped, the higher
the crops would grow

Halloween, or "Allhallows
Eve," is the night of the witch
celebration of the "passing of*
power" represented symbolically
in ceremony by a helmet, from
the witch "goddess of fertility"
to the "god of hunting."

Buckland, who is 36 years old,
said, in the celebration, which
will be held in every coven, the
high priest and the high priestess
will represent these two main
deities of the witch religion.

The power passes back,
Buckland said, in the spring "May
Eve" celebration.

The god of hunting is in power
in winter because in old times
hunting was the means of survival
during the winter, and the
goddess ascends during the
summer because that season is
the growing season.

These two ceremonies are also
related to the fertility cycles of
animals, which were more
important in ancient times, he
said.

He first became interested in
witchcraft "about 20 years ago."
He and his wife, who is the high
priestess of their coven, "never
had any religion/'

Buckland said witchcraft has
"as much relevance to modern
times as any other religion and
maybe more, because it is a
religion of participation. The
entire coven must be fitted into a
space nine feet in diameter. This
means a dozen people at the
most."

The arrangement allows more
participation on the part of the
individual, he siad, as opposed to
otheV religions where an
individual can turn out to be
"just an odd-bod at the back of
the room.

one knows exactly how
many covens there are in the
world because, he said, witches
have been in hiding for so long.

Buckland said it takes a long
time for a person to enter a coven
because before an initiation,
"there is a long period of feeling
out for sincerity."

But, if a person really wants to
join, he said, the best way to get
in touch is to write to the
publisher of a book on
witchcraft, who will forward the
letter.

Buckland also commented on
some of the other activities of
"Witch Week." He said the movie
"Rosemary's Baby," which was
shown Sunday night and had a
"witch" motif, was a "good
story," but that there's "no such
stuff as tannis root" which was
used in a "witch's brew" in the
film.

U A W-B lack workers question
racial discrimination

DETROIT (CPS) The United
Auto Workers' strike against
General Motors, now over one
month old, no longer is a front
page news item. Understandably.
Laymen viewing the strike
through the "objective" eyes of
the local newspaper are
convinced the only issues that
fact the union and GM are pay
raises and increased health and
retirement benefits.

Essentially the union wants:

* Restoration of full cost of
living protection under an
improved formula.

* Retirement after thirty years
of service regardless of age, with a
minimum pension of $500 per
month.

Benefits (SUB)

WAGES

For the first year of the new
contract the UAW demands an
eight percent increase over
current base wages; and in
addition, there would be a 26
cen ts-an-hour cost of living
coverage owed to the union as of
September 15, 1970, and another
five cents an hour stemming from
the rise in living costs between
April and July. For the average
auto worker, that would mean a
raise of 61 cents per hour.

GM, however, is only offering a
three percent wage increase and
the 26 cents an hour coverage, as
well as a cap on the cost of living
allowance.

OTHER BENEFITS
The UAW is demanding
increased health and retirement
benefits and that GM pay for
them. The union wants GM to
pay for any increase in the cost
of health insurance programs. GM
does not want to. The union

Emory Socialists sponsor
southwide conference

The Emory University Young
Socialist Alliance announced
plans to sponsor a Southwide
Socialist Educational Conference
on Saturday and Sunday,
November 14 and 15. Featured Socialist
speakers will be Paul Boutelle,
Socialist Workers Party Candidate
for Congress from Harlem who
recently toured Jordan and the
Mideast.

Boutelle was the

Vice-Presidential candidate of the
Socialist Workers Party in 1968
and a leading black nationalist
spokesman. The topic of
Boutelle's talk will be "Black
America and the Arab
Revolution." Boutelle will speak
at Emory's Longstreet Dormitory
Recreation Room, where all the
conference sessions will be held,
at 11 a.m. on Saturday following
Conference registration.

At 2 p.m. the noted Marxist
anthropoligist and theoretician of
the women's liberation

University Center

movement, Evelyn Reed, will talk
on "How Women Lost Control of
their Destiny and How they can
Regain It."

Sunday morning's session will
feature reports from Young
activists around the

South.

A panel on "Black and Chicano
Political Parties the Struggle for
National Liberation" will beheld
at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Participants
will include: Jose Angel
Gutierrez, the founder and
principal leader of La Raza Unida
Party in Crystal City, Texas;
Raleigh Jugger of the Malcolm X
United Liberation Front in
Tallahassee, Florida; and Paul
Boutelle, Socialist Workers Party
Leader from Harlem.

There will be a registration fee
of three dollars for the entire
conference or one dollar for each
session. A child care center will
be open for the entire
conference.

(Continued from page 1)

However, the University Center
system also contains some
failures in reaching the
"exchange" goal.

Especially noticable is the
problem of sharing classroom
facilities and courses with
students from member
institutions Dr. Alston summed
up the problem of such "student
exchanges" as one of "schedules,
transportation, and cost."

Dean Gary also pointed out the
cost problem, explaining that an
"exchange of money" must
accompany the exchange of
students due to the financial
crises now plaguing most
institutions.

According to Dean Gary,
presently only five Scott students
make use of the program. All five
take an education course at
Georgia State. Since Scott does
not offer the course Scott pays

for the students' tuitions at
Georgia State. Any Scott student
wh o wishes to take a
non-required course at another
school must pay for her own
tuition at that school, however.

The major reasons for the few
student exchange appear to be a
lack of knowledge of the
opportunity to attend the other
institutions in this area and a lack
of money for the tuition (i.e.,
$50.00 per quarter hour at
Emory).

Dr. Alston, is discussing the
future of the student exchanges,
expressed hope that more and
better "mutual agreements" will
be worked out between all of the
member schools concerning the
sharing of students and faculty.
The most important factor in
accomplishing this, he stressed, is
the "desire to try new things" by
the administrations, faculties, and
students of all the institutions.

wants GM to contribute six cents
an hour to a dental care program
for employees and their families.
GM does not want to. The union
wants GM to increase the SUB
fund. GM does not want to. And
that fairly well sums up the strike
in terms of GM, the union, and
the media.

However, there is much more
going on between UAW, GM, and
the workers that is not being
covered by the commercial press.
The AUW is racked with
divisiveness-divisiveness caused by
racist attitudes of the union and
much of its membership. The
giant auto maker is suffering
from absenteeism and a high
turnover in new employees for
much the same reason; racism.

In all the bargaining talk that is
going on between the UAW and
GM the question of racial
discrimination is strangely absent.
A company that suffers
production loss because of the
dissatisfaction of its Black
workers with the company
policies, and a union that is being
split apart because of the
dissatisfaction of many of its
Black members, and racial
problems never enter into the
contract negotiations. The
absence of discussion of the
issues of racial discrimination is
so obvious to Black workers that
they do not think it accidental.
They have lost faith in the UAW
as a bargaining agent and have
turned more and more to joining
the racial League of
Revolutionary Black Workers and
to open struggle on the floor of
the plants.

Almost every day members of
the radical union movements in

noting the lack of progress the

$1,000 for Scott's own computer

difficult to measure.

Mr. Wilde also commented that
computers can be inflexible at
times. "It takes time to modify
the computer to suit your
needs," he stated. "It took Tech
ten years, and they're still having
trouble."

Not only the faculty, but also
students have studied the
computer situation. Last year
students in Scott's computer
course researched the computer
systems at other University
Center schools.

All of the student reports

Future Is Reviewed

"Emlyn Williams As
Charles Dickens"

On Wednesday, December 9,
1970, Charles Dickens will visit
the Scott campus. Perhaps in the
total truth in which a newspaper
article is written (or is at least
attempted to be written), the
above statement can not have
been said. Yet after that evening,
you too may believe that Charles
Dickens has in fact visited the
school.

Students will have the real
privilege of viewing what should
prove to be a most unusual and
entertaining program-Emlyn
Williams as Charles Dickens." The
performance, sponsored by
Lecture Committee, will be given
in Presser Hall at 8:15.

Actor and playwright, Emlyn
Williams, first began his
performances as Dickens in 1951.
He has copied the exact style and
manner in which Dickens himself
used to give his once well-known
dramatic readings. Mr. Williams
stands before his audiences as
Dickens himself, complete with
the whiskers, tails, the red
geranium in the buttonhole, and
the white gloves. Even the desk
before which Mr. Williams stands
is an exact copy of the "Deck"
which Dickens himself designed
and used.

The majority of Mr. Williams
material is taken from little

by PR1SCILLA OFFEN

known passages in Dickens. Even
the most well -known incidents
from Dickens, however, are
reputedly given an added depth
by Mr. Williams' performance of
them.

The year 1970 marks the 100th
anniversary of Charles Dickens'
death. Mr. Williams appropriately
began his tour then on June 9,
1970, the exact anniversary date,
by a reading in Westminster
Abbey. Besides North America,
the tour includes visits to the
British Isles, Australia, the Near
and Far East, and for the first
time Russia and other Eastern
European countries. It has been
approximately six years since Mr.
Williams has been in this country
in the role of Charles Dickens.

The performances given by Mr.
Williams, under the auspices of S.
Hurok, have earned highly
favorable reviews from both Clive
Barnes in the New York Times
(November 4) and John J.
O'Conner in the Wall Street
Journal (November 6). Mr.
Barnes points out that "Dickens
calls for the vocal chords with
something like hunger. You can
almost feel your lips moving
when you read him, and many of
his rhetorical mannerisms, so
seemingly uncouth on the virginal
page, find their life as dramatic
gestures when spoken."

Agnes Scott's first campus
consisted of five acres where
Main now stands. If all works out
according to the Robbins' plan of
1967, the future Agnes Scott
campus will contain
approximately 170 acres. The
present campus consists of 95
acres.

Over a period of seventy-five
years the college has been in the
process of increasing its land
holdings. Space has been needed
for expansion as the student
body has grown from sixty
students to over 700.

Concerning the expansion
plans, President Alston stated:
"In 1967, the Board of Trustees
approved in principle a long-range
plan for land acquisition. This
additional land will provide for
foreseeable growth during the
remainder of this century."

Dr. Alston went on to say:
"Since 1967 the college, within
the framework of the overall
plan, has purchased thirty-five
parcels of land at an expenditure
of $507,559.07. It is emphasized
that the implementation of this
campus plan will be gradual and
that the purchases will be made
only as funds are available."

In 1967, this long-range plan
was adopted. It was formulated
by Mr. Clyde D. Robbins of
Atlanta, the official campus
planner. The report projects an
enrollment at some time double
to the present one. At this point,
the campus will have to have
certain locational requirements.

The Robbins' plan states:
"Eventually the area between
Candler, College, Winona and

by GINGER ROLLINS

Avery Streets east of the campus
should be acquired and reserved
for academic expansion; this is
principally classrooms,
laboratories, faculty offices, etc.
Student activity facilities; mainly
the gymnasium and student
center, should be sited on the
southern fringe of the academic
center where they can serve both
the existing and future student
residential centers."

The future housing will be
located "...east of Candler Street
and south of Winona Drive. Here
it would be in close proximity of
the present and future academic
and student activity centers and
would also join the area which is
felt will stabilize as a private
neighborhoods very compatible
student environment."

About faculty housing, the
report states: "It will be most
beneficial to the preservation of
the College environment if
faculty housing in located to

assist in buffering the College on
the west and South sides."

The report also states: "One of
the future land acquisition
objectives of the Agnes Scott
Administration is a physical
linkage with Columbia Seminary.
This proposal, it is felt, has merit
for several reasons: Initially,
because the two campuses are so
close together a physical tie for
convenient interchange is
desirable. In addition, the
physical connection of the two
campuses would provide a
'greenway' from Adams Street to
the East Decatur City Limits."

Concerning acquisition of
further land for Agnes Scott, the
report stated: "Within the
projected boundary of the
campus, all land not owned by
the College has been placed in
one of four priorities for
acquisition. No time table has
been attached to the
acquisition."

Stukes Honored

by CINDY HARVEY

"We wanted to stop a minute, appreciation
be good neighbors, and say,
'Hello, we love you, Dr. Stukes."'
Mr. Roy A. Blount, President of
Decatur Federal Savings said at a
surprise luncheon for Dr. Samuel
Stukes.

On Wednesday, November 18,
more than 85 old friends, many
from Agnes Scott, honored Dr.
Stukes at the surprise luncheon.
All their friends gave he and Mrs.
Stukes a tray inscribed:
'Presented to Samual Guerry
Stukes in recognition and

lace Alston.

of more than 50
years in the field of education as
Teacher, and Dean of Agnes
Scott College and Educational
Counselor at Decatur Federal
Savings and Loan Association.'

At the luncheon Dr. Alston
said of Dr. Stukes, "He has the
capacity to care about people. He
is friendly. He is the embodiment
of the friendship, warmth, and
kindness that characterize our
college. But we know him best by
his modest, quiet expression of
Christian citizenship."

Dr. Stukes, who is often called
"Uncle Guerry," is one of Agnes
Scott's best friends. He spent
forty-four years of his life
actively involved in everyday
Agnes Scott life.

He was born in Manning, S.C.,
on October 1, 1887. Now he
often laughs and jokes about his
long life of 83 years. As a young
man, he studies Psychology and
Religion at Davidson College. He
studied further at Princeton,
Yale, and Columbia Universities.

In 1913 he came to Agnes
Scott, only six years after she had
become a college. He taught

Thus Far-

At last it is the end of the quarter. At this point we
would like to review what we have attempted to achieve
in our issues thus far.

First of all, we have attempted to keep you informed
of what is happening on our campus and other campuses.
We have tried to be accurate which is unbelievably hard
due to lack of cooperation.

Secondly, and most important, we have tried to expose
students to what we consider relevant or interesting
issues. Perhaps it should be mentioned here that you are
not supposed to like or agree with everything you read in
a newspaper. Topics were presented in the hopes of
inspiring some thought, discussion, or (heaven forbid)
contributions to the Student Opinion Column.

Some of the topics we hoped would arouse some
comment concerned the proposed constitutional
amendment which would change student government to a
large extent, questions pertaining to academics, equal
rights for women, inadequate vocational help, the
woman's college as a retreat for women, abortion,
possible need for counseling on contraceptive devices,
Wednesday convocation, use of the University Center, the
indictment of Kent State students, etc. The Student
Opinions on Campus Crusades and parietals also offered
opportunity for comment.

Unfortunately, if we may judge by Student Opinion
response, we have failed in our attempts at stimulation.
Our article on convocation was the only one which
inspired written response which reemphasized our point
of student rudeness in convocation though disputing our
view of some boring speakers or topics. (Refer to
column)

We hope that the topics were of interest to you even if
Student Opinion response has been poor . Surely you have
opinions. Please feel free to write what you want. If you
fear repercussions names can be withheld upon request

We are open to your suggestions. The paper after all is
for YOU. Have a good vacation.

Letters

To the Editor:

What is liberty; Liberty is
freedom to choose, and the more
alternatives you have, the more
liberty you get.

If there were only boys'
schools and girls' schools in this
country, liberty from that
standpoint would be nil.

If some day there are only
coeducational schools, liberty
again will be nil.

Any attempt to transform a
boys' or a girls' school into a
coeducational one appears to be a
part of the totalitarian
contemporary drive whose
eventual aim is the destruction of
the individual freedom of all to
further the ideals of some.

This drive - signs of which are
seen everywhere - is the more
dangerous as it comes from men
whose good faith and intentions
are beyond doubt. Unfortunately
what they are so unselfishly
preparing for us and for
themselves is a brave new world
where humanity will count for
everything and man for nothing.

V. Volkoff

Dear Friends,

We see as hypocrisy the
extravagant celebration of
Christmas when there is no peace
on earth. So our group feels it is
time for a Christmas boycott. We
are not going to buy presents this
year, nor are we going to receive
them. We will do without
decorations, and may be fasting
or Christmas day instead of
feasting.

Instead of spending, we will
work for peace on earth by giving

our money to help make amends
for the suffering we have
caused-such as by financially
adopting a Vietnamese child, and
by giving our time to stop the
war. We are calling for people to
put peace back in
Christmas-what better way to
observe the birth of Christ than
to bring an end to the war this
year?

We are counting on college
groups to do most of the local
work. Here are some possible
approaches for organizing the
boycott:

1. Contact local clergy -many
should be receptive to taking
commercialism out of Christmas
and putting peace back in.

2. Organize picket lines at
department stores and shopping
centers.

3. Do guerilla theater on the
sidewalk in front of large stores.
Dramatize the horrors of war or
the contradictions in the thinking
of the military.

4. Leaflet at high schools, train
stations, churches and shopping
centers.

5. Urge fellow students not to
go home for vacation unless their

parents agree to participate in the
boycott.

We would welcome any
criticisms and suggestions readers
might have of this proposal.

Student
Opinion

EVELYN BROWN

After reading the Profile's
article and hearing several
comments from fellow students, I
was tempted to write my own
"Guide to Convocation". But
instead I will just make three
brief observations. First, I have
found that a positive attitude
helps tremendously in most
situations. If I have already
decided that I'm not going to like
something--! probably
won't-even though I might have
if I had approached it with an
open mind. Second, I seldom find
a speech interesting if I don't
listen to it. And third, I have
discovered that constructive
suggestions usually improve a
situation better than gripes. In
other words, if your haven't
enjoyed the convocation speakers
I encourage you to communicate
to Convocation Committee what
speakers you would find
interesting. I am sure the
committee will welcome your
suggestions.

A CONCERNED FRESHMAN

The satire and criticism of
student behavior in convocation
in the article, "A Layman's
Guide to Convocation" are quite
appropriate. In my opinion the
attitudes toward convocation are
atrocious. As Dr. Alston
introduces the convocation
speaker, a mild and
unidentifiable roar resounds
through the rafters of Gaines (I
will assume you realize this roar
is NOT applause). The noise
finally diminishes and in utter
amazement it is found that the
speaker is into the heart of his
address.

If one is talented enough, it is
possible to grasp a phrase or two
of the speech in conjunction
with readings from "The Miller's
Tale" or "Henry IV." With such
concentration on the speech one
is able to comprehend a large
amount of the material being
presented, often even enough to
classify it as boring and
unworthy of Agnes Scott, rf
perhaps it proves to be
unbearably boring after such
careful consideration, it is
assumed that with limited
maturity, one can control a high
intensity of adverse emotion and
show a minimum of courtesy to
those not of the same opinion.

To study for a test is one thing;
to pass it is quite another. By
now, practically everyone has had
some experience in that frantic
sort of study known as
cramming. In fact, approximately
98% of students not interviewed
gave this as their principle
method of studying.

As exam week hovers
frighteningly near, it may be
helpful to impart a few hints on
how to assimilate a quarter's
worth of learning as quickly as
possible. It's too early now to
panic; the most effective
motivation is abject fear, which
will come soon enough.

This requires self-discipline;
you should dread only one exam
at a time. It is impossible to
concentrate when you are
tormented by a legion of
apprehensions. As you prepare
for each test, think only of the
one at hand. Coordinate your

the nervous energy you need for
rapid and intensive study.

Arrange your cramming to fit
the time you have before an
exam. Much time can be gained
by studying when you ordinarily
would sleep. Loss of sleep can
always be made up for later- later
than the exam period, that is.

thorough practice is necessary to
attain such lofty aspirations. Like
all worthwhile skills, cramming
requires one's undivided
attention. Don't feel compelled
to give in to less important
things; you have no time for
distractions like phone calls and
fire drills. There will always be

The only hitch is that as soon as more of these, and you can t

start cramming for the next.

Sometimes it is difficult to fina
a place suitable for activities of
this nature. If your roommate is
not in a similar situation, where
can you go after the library
closes? Dorm basements are
convenient but some npnnle
need to mutter things to
themselves or find it impossible
to stay awake without a radio on.
If you are one of these people,
vest yourself in many layers of
clothing and go up into your

Cramming does have its
disadvantages. Coffee and
No-Doz in the amounts you need
tend to become expensive.
Fortunately, however, you will
have no other opportunities to
spend money during this time.
The whole process of cramming is
traumatic, but look at all the
people who have survived. Ignore
their straight-jackets and glassy
stares; they are harmless now.
Actually, there aren't that many
students who are unable to bear
up under the rigors of cramming.

Agnes Scott may still not be
as liberal as some colleges but
when you consider what we
were

In1891 the cost of attending
Agnes Scott as a boarding
student was $220. But before
you start longing for the good
old days of Post- Reconstruction,
consider some of the rules and
restrictions which our sisters had
to endure.

Agnes Scott Institute stated as
it aims "to develop and cultivate
the social character and graces
of speech and conduct, the
ornaments of true womanhood."
The virtues of true womanhood
were indeed protected. The
following are some regulations.

"Teachers and pupils are periods
members of the same household week,
and mingle on terms of most
intimate social intercourse." This
meant that when girls were
allowed to go into Atlanta to
shop-no more than once a
quarter-they had to have a
teacher with them. In fact, no
student could appear on the
streets without a teacher. All
boarding students were required
to go to church (Presbyterian) at
least once every Sunday, and
were of course accompanied by
teachers.

Girls were permitted to
correspond "only with such
gentlemen as are specially named
in writing by parents."

Students had to "repair to
Study Hall" at 7:00 Pm; at
nine-thirty they "must prepare
for retiring" and by ten the
house was quiet.

And f inally-"Parents and
friends are earnestly requested
not to send boxes of eatables to

the pupils except during the allowed ott campus unless

Christmas holidays. Rich food covered by a skirt. Dancing was

eaten at all hours is a fruitful permitted in designated places at

source of headache and assigned times. Men were not

indigestion.

Agnes Scott during the first
quarter of the 20th century saw
a few changes.

According to the rules and
regulations of 1906-1907
students were required to be in
the room in which they were
expected to spend the night by
10 p.m., but for seniors, "lights
out" was not until 11 p.m. Also
during this year, freshmen
leaving the Decatur area were
required to be accompanied by
an upperclassman. Each student
had to have four forty-minute
of exercise during the

During the 1912-1913 school
year, house closing hours were
9:45. On Sunday, there was to
be no disturbing noise, nor any
unappropriate music played.
Students could not entertain
gentlemen other than close
relatives on Sunday without
special permission from the
Dean.

Students were also informed
as to when they could take a
bath. Students had to be out of
the bath tub at the ringing of
the light bell (10 pm). Tubs
could not be used again before
the rising bells. Also, no student
was allowed to use the water
cooler after the light bell.

During the year 1922-1923,
students going out with men had
to be back on campus by 6:20
p.m. When students went
"automobiling" with men, a
faculty member was required to
chaperone. Bloomers were not

permitted during dances!

Even the faculty had a few
problems with rules

Margaret Pepperdene,
Chairman of the English
Department, told about her
arrival at ASC fourteen years
ago. Mrs. Pepperdene was to
stay in the Kennedy House with
Miss Herbert, Miss Zenn, and
Miss Allen. When she arrived at
the house in September, Mrs.
Pepperdene said everything was
spotless and there were no
ashtrays to be found. Mrs.
Pepperdene knew that no
drinking was permitted and
mistakenly jumped to the
conclusion that no smoking was
permitted either. As Mrs.
Pepperdene tells it, "I went into
the bathroom of the house, put
a wet towel across the bottom
of the door to absorb the
smoke, sat down and lit a
cigarette. I never felt so wicked
in my whole life!"

Bertie Bond, Secretary-
Administrative Assistant to the
President, graduated from ASC
in 1953. Miss Bond said that
when she was at ASC students
were only allowed to smoke in
the basement of the Hub.
According to Miss Bond, the
Hub looked like a "den of
iniquity" right before closing
time. "Smoke would be
billowing out the windows and
doors because of all the girls
trying to get in their last
cigarette."

Question: Is the A.S. Campus
truly "Christian" in action or is it
only in word?

Cindy Harvey (73): Agnes
Scott is not a "Christian" College
because Jesus Christ is not a part
of everyday campus life for many
students. P.S. I wish He were!

Connie Morris (71): It you
mean "Christian" in the sense of
going to church or being moral, I
think that this is the image that
Scotties have had. If you mean
"Christian" in the sense of people
knowing Christ in a personal way,
then I would say that the
majority of Scott students are
not Christians, and therefore
Aqnes Scott is not a Christian
college.

Sherry Roberts (71): Neither
campuses nor atmospheres nor
institutions are Christian, only
people are Christian.

Debbie Dalhouse (73): The
Christian influence is present on
campus, but not overpoweringly
so. This is evidenced by C.A.'s
community work and campus
services. So the students have the
opportunities but not the
obligations to participate in
religious activities.

Next Question: Is more prestige
and respect associated with
elected positions in the Student
Government as compared with
appointed posts?

Dance Group-Dec. 4

What better way to show the
ageless joy of Christmas than to
sing medieval carols to music of
our own century, and what better
way to express the awe and
mystery of the Incarnation than
to dance the story of the Christ
Child.

The Agnes Scott Dance Group
and the Chancel Choir of Trinity
Presbyterian Church will present
"A Day For Dancing" on Friday,
December 4, at 8:15 P.M. in the
Gaines Chapel. During the chapel
period Friday morning, the
Dance Group will also perform.

"A Day For Dancing",
published only , last year, was
written by Lloyd Pfautsch, the
distinguished American choral
director who is head of choral
music at Southern Methodist
University in Dallas.

The choir and dancers,
accompanied by flute, oboe,
cello, and harpsichord, will carry
out the medieval theme in
costume.

Some of the dances stray
from the medieval dance
movement based on the parallel
designs of medieval religious art;
others accentuate this oaralleli^rn

A Day For Dancing begins with
the Call to Dance, then it moves
to the Dance of Eden, remindina

us of the fall of man and the
hope of a savior. Students taking
the English 306 course will be
familiar with the Early English
lyrics to this particular dance:
"Adam lay yebounden...."

After the Fall come the Dances
of Prophecy and Promise. The
Christmas story is completed
with the Dances of
Announcement, Fulfillment,
Adoration, and the Gifts. The
festive Eternal Dance ends the
program with the words, "At
Christmas time all Christians
sing- Joy! Joy! Joy!"

$50 For
Readers

The end of fall quarter is the
deadline for qualifying in the
Louise McKinney Book Award
contest. Students who wish to
compete for the fifty-dollar prize
should turn in their names to
members of the English
Department of Margaret G.
Trotter, Chairman of the Award
committee, by that time.

To be eligible, a student should
by May 1, 1971, have collected
^ince the previous May at least
fifteen books to add to her
permanent library. A collection
may contain gifts, but the whole
collection is expected to show
the owner's initiative and
discriminating choice-her tastes,
either in a special field or in
several. Inexpensive editions or
second-hald volumes may be
obtained. The collector should
know her books well enough to
talk informally to the Committee
about them when her collection
is complete, early in May.

It is always interesing to talk
with alumnae who return to the
campus to visit. In the iirst place
if they have bothered to come
back one may suppose that they
have some interest in the college
or at least in the people who
make it up. They may delight us
with an irreverance which we
would never venture or with the
seasoned perspective reserved for
those who have made it through
four years to graduation. Ann
majored in English at Agnes Scott
and graduated in 1970. She is
now a first year graduate student
ina four year Ph.D. program at
the University of Pennsylvania.

Q. There are several studies in
progress at Scott which are aimed
at investigating and improving the
curriculum and the academic life
of the college. In your opinion
what is the greatest need in this
area?

A. If Agnes Scott is going to
survive, it is going to have to
reverse the trend which is evident
in the statistics I have seen which
is that the general academic
credentials of the incoming
students are declining. Either we
are going to have to go co-ed or
we are going to have to chuck a
lot of the frivolity and frills and
set our minds to becoming a
hard-nosed academic institution
on the level of Bryn Mawr or
someplace like that.

Further I think the second of
these alternatives is the one we
are going to have to take, for
what finally matters is the
academic quality of the college
and not whether or not it is
co-ed. Probably the first thing
that shoujd be done is for all the
departments to take a more
careful attitude in hiring

Members of the Representative
Council took a final vote
Tuesday, January 12, on the
constitution proposed by a
committee co-chaired by
Cassandra Brown and Tyler
McFadden. The proposal was
defeated: 7 .for; 14 against; 3
abstentions; 2 absent.

The defeated proposal has been
sent to a committee for further
work.

The discussion preceding the
vote touched up on some
pertinent areas. Basically much
of the concern was due to the
fear that the Student Activities
Board, while assuming the duties
of a number of committees and
the presently constituted boards
of Athletic Association and
Social Council, would not have
sufficient backing to be effective.

The Board of Student
Activities would have consisted
of a President, Vice-President,
Secretary, Treasurer, plus the
President of Christian
Association, Arts Council
Chairman, Athletic Chairman,
Social Chairman, Chairman on
Committee of Community
Affairs, NSA Chairman, and
Chairman of Intercollegiate.
Excluding these Chairmen there
would be only four other elected
members on the board.

In view of the fact, that AA
and Social Council as presently
constituted boards each have a
number of elected positions,
caused representatives some
concern over how an Athletic
Chairman and Social Chairman
could continue to carry out

present tasks without having a
constitution or a number of
elected people to fall back on
when certain tasks needed to be
done. However, neither Fran
Fulton, President of AA, nor
Sherry Stith, President of Social
Council, felt that elected
members of their respective
boards were any more or less

dependable than appointed
persons, though Sherry
commented that it was often
necessary to pressure some
people into petitioning for vacant
positions. There was also some
questions as to how budgets and
funds would be approved and
allotted.

Referendum Results-How Valid

Re-evaluate

The pros and cons evolving from the discussion of the recently
defeated proposed constitution touched upon certain areas which are
in need of consideration. In discussing the proposal, certain
comments were made which have a definite bearing on the future of
many activities, committees or Boards themselves.

Almost every president or chairman of an activity revealed a
definite problem in getting persons to carry out certain tasks or to
ascertain volunteers for certain chores. Indeed, the question was
raised that if persons are not willing to do the work accompanying an
activity, why have the activity at all?

If persons do not demonstrate interest with a willingness to work,
drop the activity or committee. Why pressure some individual into
taking charge if she really has no desire to take the responsibility?
Perhaps after abolishing the activity, a true need for it will be seen
and interested persons seeing this need will take charge. If the activity
is no longer needed, no one will care.

The proposed constitution raised another question concerning
whether or not a well-defined and constituted structure is needed for
many activities thus necessitating and forcing their continuance
because of the provided structure rather than because of a desire to
carry out the activity.

According to some faculty observers, boards evolved from a few
students who were concerned with a certain element. These few
decided there wass a need for more elements along the same line, and
thus a board was created to fill these needs and insure some
continuity from year to year. The question is raised-what do you do
with a board whose activities no longer meet too many needs or
arouse much interest?

At any rate one concern seems basic: if we do not have a certain
board and elected persons responsible for carrying out the activities
and duties of that board-who will do them? We know how hard it is
to get people to volunteer for committees. We seem to be worried
that without the backing of a constitution and elected officials only
one person-ie the Chairman of the activity will be left to do the work.

Perhaps we need to ask more basically: are Boards functioning as a
way of organizing needed activities and coordinating interested
participants of these activities, or are the Boards existing to insure
that certain activities which have always been pursued continue to be
carried out?

The questions raised as a result of the proposed constitution must
be considered. We feel that much of the present system does need to
be changed. We advocate further evaluation of why certain activities
and Boards exist and if they are meeting the more important needs
and interests of the student. We suggest that Boards and committees
realistically and honestly look at the purposes and functions of their
activities.

A significant point which should be reemphasized is that tiie
proposed restructuring of student government was intended to force
a needed change not only in physical structure but more importantly
a change in the actual purposes and functions of the organization; the
proposed revision was not a better way of effectively organizing what
we have now. Nor should it have been judged as such.

In our opinion the members of Representative Council have thus
far discussed and judged the proposal as to how it more effectively
organizes what we have now, rather than realizing the broader
implications and the changes the new structure would necessitate.

Whether we want more effective organization of present tasks or
whether we want a change in traditional functions is the primary
question.

The committee handling the defeated proposal must consider this
question.

During the week of November 30th a questionaire was distributed
by the members of Student Government Association. The
referendum ballot consisted of 26 questions. The results of this ballot
were sent to the Southern University Student Government
Association (SUSGA) to be published with results from other
colleges.

Questionnaires were distributed by members of Representative
Council to students on halls in the dorms and also to day students.
Members of Rep. Council distributing the questionnaires were also
responsible for tabulating the results for those dorms for which they
were responsible, according to Clare Smith.

In the process, representatives neglected to count the number of
questionnaires received which would have provided an accurate
number of the students participating. They only recorded the number
of responses for each question and because not all students answered
every question the sum of responses for each question varied.
Therefore the NUMBER OF THOSE STUDENTS PARTICIPATING
IN THE SURVEY IS UNKNOWN. An attempt was made to get an
approximate number of participants by averaging the sum of
responses for six questions. Clare Smith calculated that the number
of respondents was about 396;CarolynCox's estimation was 391. The
number of students at the end of fall quarter was 696. Their
estimates imply an approximate response of 56 percent of the
students.

Without knowing the number of participants the validity of the
questionnaire is in question, especially as a means of generalizing
these responses as representing a certain percentage of the student
body. For this reason we have totaled the number of respondents for
each question. The results for each question should be considered in
light of the number of those who answered that question. According
to this tabulation anywhere from 383 to 504 students responded. It
is difficult to understand why there is such variance in the number of
students answering questions, especially when a category of "No
opinion" is provided for many of the questions.

In light of the factors noted above the results

of the questionnaire must be viewed with caution if viewed at
all. The implications of the invalidity of the results as tabulated
hardly merit their consideration and publishment by the Southern
University Student Government Association.

These "results" are published in the PROFILE only in order that
you may know how we are being "represented" to the Southern
University Student Government Association.
Indeed we find the sloppiness of this representation embarrassing.

This column will attempt to
focus on such events. It is hoped
that a portion of the "outer

International tension has been
relieved somewhat by the
Sov iets' willingness to commute
the death sentence of two
convicted Jewish hijackers. The
harsh sentence was interpreted by
Premier Golda Meir and others as
an attempt to intimidate Russia's
3,000,000 Jews, especially the
40,000 who have applied to
emigrate to Israel. The sentences
were commuted to 15 years at
hard labor.

Governor Winthrop Rockefeller
in his last month as Governor of
Arkansas used his right of
executive clemency and
commuted the death sentences of
all fifteen men on that state's
death row. Rockefeller's decision
was made only after extensive

experts. The dea throw

Box 207, Agnes Scott College

Dear Patricia:

Aa you know, the special student committee on Convocation, working with
President Alston, announced and posted the following procedure for the fall quarter:
that attendance be recorded as last year; that a maximum of three absences be per-
mitted; that additional absences could result in Administrative Committee action.
There have been a total of eight Convocations st which attendance was taken this
fall. Students reported absent have had ample opportunity to correct any error in the
taking of attendance or to present valid reasons for absence.

The Administrative Committee met on December 3 in order to consider violations of
Convocation requirements. The Committee considered the following matters: that
Convocation is a required program of the. College; that it is the only occasion when
the entire student body meets together; that it serves an important function in
unifying the campus; that for all of these reasons any failure to cooperate with
the College in this required program is a serious matter.

A relatively small percentage of the student body has violated the Convocation
requirement some more flagrantly than others. By action of the Administrative
Committee I have been directed to send this letter to all students who have been
absent more than the allowed number of times. You are, as you know, among this
group. I have also been directed to send a copy of the letter to the parents of
these students. By further action of the Administrative Committee, the letter is
being placed in each student's file a file which is consulted during the time a
student is in residence here and frequently after she leaves, when recommendations
are required.

The Committee regrets that this letter has had to be sent to you. The Committee
is convinced, however, that failure to comply with a required college program cannot
a part of a student's permanent record here.

Sincerely,

Laura Steele, Secretary
Administrative Committee

presented this view of the
committee's action. "In order to
understand the decision of the

Administrative Committee last
quarter, we must first realize that
the issue was the violation of an
existing College regulation, not
the quality or the desirability of
the convocation requirement. We
were all aware of the
requirement, as well as the fact
that violations were subject to
action by the Committee, so the
action itself cannot be seriously
questioned. In addition, it was a
fair penalty, commensurate with
the violation and designed, above
all, to encourage cooperation
with the College program. Those
who have conscientious
objections to attending
convocation can still exercise this

privilege, with full knowledge of
the likely consequences. Students
and faculty alike should recall
from the recent past that the way
to effect changes in regulations
with which we disagree is to offer
alternatives or well- formulated
reasons for abandoning them
entirely, not to ignore them."

Angie Jarrett supported this
view emphasizing that students
wishing to effect changes should
submit constructive suggestions
to the Convocation Committee
headed by Mary Nease.

The Convocation Committee
formulates convocation
procedure such as how to record
attendance, and suggest speakers
to Dr. Alston who makes every
effort to procure them. Already
this quarter, scheduled
convocations have been reduced
to seven from last quarters
eleven, leaving two free periods.

In addition, convocation
programs are posted at the
beginning of the quarter.

Dr. Alston feels this flexibility
and the continuing improvement
of speakers adds to the
convocation program. At this
time, no other alterations in
convocation or further steps in
the area of penalties are planned.
The letters placed in the
permanent files, consisting of

for deposit of junk mail, official

way to control the contents of

professors. The academic
situation of the college will
continue to slide until the whole

college develops a total lack of
toleration for mediocrity.

You cannot just expect the
student body to suddenly-
become excellent on its own.
There are also going to have to be
some fires set under some faculty-
members and some departments.

Q. You said the college should
"chuck a lot of the frills and
frivolities" in favor of developing
the academic potential. What
kinds of things would you call
frills?

A. A carpet on Fourth Main is
frills; airconditioning the dining
hall is frills. For Pete's sake the
kitchen needs it, but that barn of
a dining hall (a) wouldn't need it
even if it were hot and(b) because
of the high ceiling is never hot in
the first place. Now the library,
that is a barn that needs it.
Another frill is having a dean's
staff of ten or eleven people in a
college with a combination
director of admissions/registrar.

Q. What is it like to move to
Philadelphia as a white female
from the south?

A. Not only a white female
from the south, but a white

gentile female from the south. It
was a little bit of a culture shock.
The thing that irritated me
beyond belief was to have some
jack-ass from the Bronx stride up
to me and say. "1 was in the
South on voter registration back
in 4 64. And I know all about it of
course. So what is supposed to be
so good about it and why is
everybody so bigoted?"

It makes me very s\d to see
how fooled around with a lot of
ideas about politics, but I decided
that it just didn't do to takv- one
position that was so extreme that
you didn't have to think about it.

If you are far enough left (or
right) you have no decisions for
yourself, you just sort of
automatically react to anything
that comes along from r leftist
point of view. It is a little harder
to try to make decisions in a
more balanced way; but it is a
great deal more satisfying. Its all
tied up in meeting people that
have that just have reactions
instead of thoughts. The people I
have meet here, the extreme
leftists that is, are often not very
different from the hardnosed
segregationists from the South
who have not been exposed to
any other idea and furthermore
are afraid of any other idea. Here
that same attitude is just clothed
in a more articulate form and is
at first just a little more dazzling.

Q. As a recent graduate, what
do you have to say about the
intellectual life at Agnes Scott?

A. Just that people really don't
take advantage of the
opportunities that they have
here. People don't tend to do
things like read in their spare
time. They don't make time for
their pleasure reading. That's a
small thing but it is symptomatic
of a larger problem. Reading is
not regarded as something that is
a pleasure to do. It is a chore that
has to be done so that you can go
out and drink or smoke or
something else. One thing I miss
is that at Agnes Scott there is talk
about ideas as well as frivolous
things. And you aren't just
spouting off at the mouth waiting
for the other guy to shut up so
you can put in your two-cents
worth. I haven't found that kind
of give and take at Penn. The
faculty members, for the most
part are too busy. Some of my
colleagues just don't seem to
enjoy what they are doing, and
others of them are worried about
the impression they will make, so
they keep their mouths shut to
make themselves look better. Just
the kind of conversation you can
have here is a good thing.

Q. Is there anything you would
have liked to say while you were
at Agnes Scott and couldn't and
would like to sav now?

A. No.

Romance, Love Story, Kleenex

Trustees-

(Continued from page 1)

noting that most other schools
use a tenure policy, pointed out
that a no-tenure policy makes the
Board of Trustees on this campus
"the one source of continuity,"
in contrast to he constantly-
changing faculty and student
groups. This continuity, he felt, is
necessary for an independent
college.

This spring the Board will be
changed slightly, by the addition
of a new group, the Honorary
Trustees, or the Trustees over the
age of 75 years and thus retired
from the Board. They will be

eligible to attend meetings but
will not have a voting power.

Further changes appear
imminent, however. The ad hoc
committee is, as Dr. Alston
stated, "studying the value of ,the
present structure," with special
attention on the "Synodical
relationship." He explained that
the Synods "asked to be related"
to Agnes Scott through the
Board. Although the College
never became a part of the
Presbyterian Church, through the
Board of College does show, in
Dr. A 1 s t o n's words, "a
recognition of its heritage." (As
noted above the Board of
Trustees has tremendous power.)
The Charter emphasizes this,
recognition of the Presbyterian
Church, however, by requiring
three-quarters of the Trustees to
be Presbyterian, while all
Trustees must belong to "some

evangelical church."

Dr. Alston admits, "The tie
with the Synods has made them
aware ot Agnes Scott and its
needs," but he expressed his
belief that "the Synodical device
is not necessary to maintain "our
affiliations with the Church " He

also questioned the "usefulness"
of the membership of specified
"Alumnae Trustees."

In the future Dr. Alston would
like to see the abolishment of the
"Alumnae " and "Synodical"
classifications. All Trustees would
then be chosen, as the Corporate
Trustees are now, on the basis of
"interest and potential to be
helpful to the college and its
progress. The selections are not
made to honor them."

In this new method of
selection, Dr. Alston expects no
discrimination of women, as has
happened in the past when the
Board was filled with
businessmen. Presently, only
seven of the 30 trustees are
women. In fact, he would enjoy
having "an Agnes Scott alumnae
who is an established educator in
another institution" become a
Trustee.

Not only do the Trustees of
Agnes Scott College provide a
"link" between the college and
the "outside world" but many of
Scott's Trustees are also Trustees
of neighboring schools. This
could provide a "link" between
colleges and may be a factor in
providing better relationships and
programs between colleges.

If there was one thing during
the Christmas holidays that beat
football games for popularity, it
would have to be Erich Segal's
Love Story. Airports, bookstores,
la u n dromats. . . everywhere you
turned, either somebody had his
or head buried in a page, or the
95-cent paperback was for sale.
And then the movie came out on
Christmas day, and broke the
house record in 159 of 165
locations.

From the opening lines of:
'What can you say about a
twenty-five-year-old girl who
died?

That she was beautiful. And
brilliant. That she loved
Mozart and Bach. And the
Beatles. And me.'
Oliver Barrett IV, a graduate of
Harvard, proceeds to tell the tale
of how he fell in love with a
Radcliffe music major whose
father was a pastry baker in
Cranston, Rhode Island.

Although the ending was tragic,
humor played a large part in the
story:

'Jenny, if you're so convinced
I'm a loser, why did you
bulldoze me into buying you
coffee?'

She looked me straight in the
eye and smiled.
'I like your body." she said.
In the move, Ryan O'Neal of
Peyton Place fame plays Oliver,
while Ali MacGraw takes over the

Fine Arts Editor

female role of Jennifer. In a few
places, Ali MacGraw came across
as being somewhat unlike the
character Segal portrayed in the
book, even though most of the
dialogue was taken directly from
the book.

Not everyone has fallen in love
with Love Story. Some say it is
overly sentimental: "It reminds
me of Rod McKuen." The book
and the movie have, however,
made an undeniable and
significant hit. Strome Lamon,
advertising director of Simon and
Schuster, has said in a January 1 1
"Time" article:
kk I think black study books and
Women's Lib books have shot
their wad. ..The kids want
romance. They're discovering
again that going to college is a
wonderful little world. I can
see them bringing back the
Homecoming Queen and the
pantie raids."

In the same article, Dr. Ernest
Van Den Haag, a New York
University social philosopher,
commented:

"The mood today. ..particularly
on campus, is toward personal
relationships rather than

politics, love rather than sex,
felling rather than action."
Whatever the interpretation,
the story has attracted attention
from both young and old. If you
haven't had a chance to read the
book or see the movie, try to.
And don't forget the Kleenex.

Carnagie Commission
Urges Major Reforms

The Carnagie Commission on
Higher Education, after over a
year in research, has
recommended some major
reforms for universities, colleges
and high schools.

These reforms, ideally, will
alleviate the financial crises
common even to some of this
country's most prestigious
institutions of higher learning
and also provide educational
opportunity for many more
people.

The members of the Carnagie
Commission include Harvard
President Nathan M. Pusey,
Notre Dame president Rev.
Thomas M. Hesburgh, former
Pennsylvania governor William
Scranton, UC regent Norton
Simon and former president of
the U. of California Clark Kerr.

Carnagie report: (1) to cut the
time needed for most degrees
from four years to three years
for the bachelor's degree, (2) to
encourage students to take time
out to work full time between
high school and college, or to
"stop-out" of college for a while
and find a job, (3) to provide
opportunities for higher
education throughout a person's
lifetime, whether he has a
bachelor's degree or not, (4) to
make educational opportunities
available to "those who have
been neglected," such as
minorities, women and older

people and (5) to create two
new degrees; a Doctor of Arts or
DA to replace the Ph.D. as the
main degree for college teachers;
and a Master of Philosophy or
Ph.M. for high school and
community college teachers.

Concerning the financial
aspect and need for these
changes, an article in the
"Christian Science Monitor" had
this to say: "...the question is
'not simply part of a general
economic downturn, 'but involves
questions of public confidence
in higher education and of the
future role and purpose of
college and universities. Campus
disturbances are 'an important
new cost factor' imposing
substantial costs for security,
insurance and replaced ^property
while hampering funcf raising."

In the same article,
recommended measures were
listed showing how some of the
private institutions are riding out
the storm. Some are cutting
back into capital reserves built
up during the last decade.
"Other steps include canceling
development plans, soliciting
more students, holding down or
reducing hiring of faculty and
administrators, arid trimming
allocations to academic
departments and student
activities." Of course, private
schools are more likely to face
real difficulty than public ones.

Concerning the speeding up of
degree achieving, S.I. Hayakawa,
president of San Francisco State

gave this opinion: "We don't
challenge our students
intellectually enough, and bored
students are social dynamite."

Stanford University's dean,
James L. Gibbs, said that he
believes the Carnagie
Commission's ''notion of
alternating formal study with
practical experience would
provide students with a mature
prospective which would enrich
not only the student's lives, but
the universities' as well. This is a
real-life experience with formal
study."

Concerning the Carnagie
Commission report, Dr. Alston
had this to say: "I think this
deserves very careful study
although it isn't eminent, that is,
it isn't going to be done at once.
We must maintain a choice and
pluralism in American education.
There ought to be various types
of institutions at the higher level
for different people. We are not
all created equally in ability to
take college education. Some
need vocational education. We
need to keep both, not
either/or."

Dr. Alston then added,
"Ultimately, I believe we will
have two years of free education
supported by the state. Already
we have many tax supported
junior colleges all over the
United States. The liberal arts
college will somehow have to
dove-tail with the kind of
program."

Again this year, tuition has
risen $100 for all students. In an
interview, Dr. Paul M. McCain,
Vice President for Development
stated: "I can't see any other way
for Agnes Scott than to have an
increase in tuition of $100 per
year. What we don't get from
tuition we must get from
endowments and gifts."

Tuition is paid expressly for
the education program. It is all
used for academic purposes. The
other big costs are room and
board and the students activities
fee. Even put in its pioper lace,
however, tuition only pays for
about 52% of the total education
program. The other 48% must
come from other sources.

Still Agnes Scott tuition is
some 3-5 hundred dollars under a
number of comparable college,
including Virginia women's
schools, all the Eastern schools
and Emory.

At the same thime, our faculty
salaries are probably lower than
most of these schools.
Concerning this situation, Dr.
Alston stated: "We are making
every effort to operate in the
black and to continue modest
salary raises for the faculty until
they are the best a private college
can pay."

Agnes Scott has three primary

sources of income: (1) tuition
and student fees, (2) income on
endowed funds and (3) gifts and
grants. The college receivesno tax
money at all.

Often these gifts and grants
come in the form of designated
offerings. For this reason, they
cannot all be channeled
academically or otherwise. As Dr.
McCain stated: "The money that
Agnes Scott uses for purchasing
land is money that someone gave
specifically for land in the form
of a designated gift."

Dr. Alston pointed out a few of
the ways Agnes Scott is preparing
to weather this inflationary
period. Among these were the
increase in tuition and an all-out
effort on the annual fund.

The basic problem is inflation.
The predicament can be seen at
major schools throughout the
country-new buildings that
cannot be paid for, salary freezes
and faculty cut-backs. Dr.
McCain made this prediction: "It
inflation were to continue, in a
few years it could cost Scott
twice as much to operate that
academic program."

With the^e facts in mind, Dr.
Alston stated, "Our policy in
tuition increase is really quite
conservative."

What Goes On Your File?

Have you ever wondered what
the school knows about you?
Does Agnes keep a watchful eye
on every move you make? In
order to dispense with much of
the myth that surrounds this area
in some students' minds, this
hopefully informative article on
student files is presented.

Records kept on the students
may be divided into five different
types. The Dean of Students'
Office keeps a general record on
each student. The Office of the
Registrat houses two types of
permanent files-a personal file
begun when the student first
writes to the Dean of Admissions,
and the academic record (the
permanent record ). A third set
of permanent information (and
the fourth kind of file listed) is
the placement file kept in the
Dean of Faculty's Office. This
file is prepared for each graduate
and is available for use by
prospective employers. A health
record kept by the Infirmary
constitutes the fifth kind of file.

by PRISCILLA OFFEN
Copy Editor

General Records

The basis of the general record
kept on each student is the
application form which each
student submits to obtain
entrance into the college. This
application form indicates the
interests and activities that each
student has had during high
school. The religious interests
that a student brings with her
when she comes to Scott forms a
part of this information. The
father's occupation, the number
of brothers and sisters are
examples of the specific
information obtained from the
application form. Beyond the
information obtained from the
application form, sketchy
information on academics and
any honors or recognitions
achieved while at Scott are kept
in this file. Furthermore, any
correspondence between the
Dean's Office and both the
student and her parents is
included in this file. The primary
source for the general records
however is what information the

student herself gives the Office
and this principally through the
application form.

The general records are not
kept indefinitely as some people
might believe. The file is kept for
perhaps one or two years after
the girl graduates. They are then
sent to Miss Steele who may
incorporate some of the
information into the permanent
record.

What are these files used for?
The Dean's Office uses them
often in the routine day-to-day
business of that office. Dean
Jones gave the example of
perhaps someone calling their
office interested in finding a
troop leader for the Girl Scouts.
The office could then use the
files to find someone who would
perhaps enjoy doing this. Also
the information is helpful when
the Dean's Office is trying to
place roommates together and in
other matters of housing.

Dean Jones stated that the
Dean's Office tries to keep up
with the professional standards

Chaos Or Community?

Write on

A constant appeal of the PROFILE as well as most other
organizations concerns the need for active and responsible
participation. An organization that wants to function efficiently and
well must have help. A few people wear down eventually-and only a
few people cannot do an accurate job despite well-meaning
intentions. Indeed, it is often a wonder to us that we manage to
publish the PROFILE, such as it is, at all -- especially when deadline
time comes and panic, lo and behold not one article is in!

Until more persons volunteer to help out on the newspaper
students and faculty will have to bear with us. Errors are NOT
intentional. If there is some correction you feel must be made you
are free to write a letter to the editor. We encourage you to do so.

Last quarter we were able to stick to our schedule but this will not
be possible any longer. We shall of course aim to appear weekly but
see no reason why a few of us should wear ourselves out constantly
for you, students. We also have lives apart from Agnes Scott and
there is just so much time we are willing and able to devote to this
activity.

In the meantime we encourage student opinion andd iscussionOne
of our biggest aims is to get students to express themselves openly.
We well realize that this is not easy.

We are always receptive to suggestions and requests, and will do the
best we can to comply. At any rate we shall write on and hope that
you will join us.

Friday, January 15,
representatives from Carver Bible
Institute and College in the
Atlanta University complex
spoke on the issue presented in
R'.'V. Dr. Martin Luther King's
book, WHERE DO WE GO
'ROM HERE: CHAOS OR
COMMUNITY?

Howard Dial, academic dean,
introduced himself as
representative of the WASP
(White Anglo-Saxon Protestant)
community. He noted that he
had been raised in the south
where he had absorbed much of
the racist and segregationist
attitudes to which he had been
exposed. Dial emphasized that
though legislation concerning
equal rights was significant, the
more important necessity is
attitude change. Tony Evans, a
black student at Carver,
illustrated this point. "Legislation
makes it so I can live in your
neighborhood-that is until you
move."

Jimmy Stanley, student and
former Black Panther, spoke of
some of the beliefs and aims of
the Panthers. Much of his
emphasis was placed on the
notion of improvement in a social
revolution-including not only
blacks, but other oppressed
people as well. This concept is
exemplified in the Panthers'
password, "All power to the
people." He noted that according

to Panther leader, Huey Newton,
the two main sources of evil for
the black man are the black
church and the education system.
Newton feels that these must be
destroyed. Stanley noted that he
could not see the logic or
morality of destroying this part
of the black man's life.

Stanley did stress that one of
the basic problems in America is
evasiveness-pretending that some
problems do not exist. Stanley
feels that the traditional church is
also responsible for such
evasiveness. In his words-"The
traditional church is an
institution where a lot of people
get together to reaffirm what
they did the previous week." He
says the church and the public
administration could make a
signficant beginning by not
evading problems.

In a discussion after the
program, Rev. John McNeal, dean
of students, reemphasized
Stanley's point. The present
Administration must start facing
up to the issues at hand. Blacks
must be given equal chance and
increasing opportunities to
compete in the present system.
He feels that most blacks, despite
some of the Panthers' appeal, are
still willing to work within the
system as long as they are
convinced they will be given an
equal opportunity to compete.
However, he added, if they are

not given increasing
opportunities, it is not
improbable that more will
withdraw from the present
system-hence the fear of a
separatist movement and chaos
rather then community.

The panelists seem to feel that
progress towards community
rather than chaos could be made
only with frank and realistic
communication. They urged that
this begin with each individual
and his experience. A final point
concerned having an appreciation
for a person's whiteness or his
blackness, with an overall
appreciation for his
"h umanness."

Conformity

If In Trouble .Where Would You Go?

by JAN FREDRICKSON

Imagine yourself in this
situation: you're pregnant,
unwed, and scared. Where do you
turn for help? A doctor off
campus? A clergyman? Family
Planning Service? Thee are places
most often suggested by students.
How about someone on campus?
A definite "No" was the answer
here, especially if an abortion was
considered. Why not? Reasons
usually given were the possibly of
not getting the kind of help
needed and the fear that the case
would not be kept confidential.

Where on campus could a girl
go? According to Dr. Wallace
Alston, President, the natural
place to go would be to the Dean
of Students or to the infirmary.
Julia Gary, dean of the faculty,
mentioned in addition the college
psychiatrist or someone to whom
the student felt close. Since many
girls would go to a doctor in the
greater Atlanta area. Dr. Alston

stressed the importance of
finding a good one immediately.
Roberta Jones, dean of students,
added that a girl might take
"harmful risks" without proper
medical attention. (It should be
noted, however, that some area
doctors can be seen only on
referral).

What about abortion as a
possible solution to a girl's
problem? It is not generally
recommended, but if it is needed,
the girl should have the best care
available. Abortion is illegal in
the state of Georgia, but the laws
in New York and Washington,
D.C. are very liberal. Dr.
Rosemonde Peltz, college
physician, said that she has had
no requests along this line, and
would not recommend abortion
in any case.

Of course there are alternatives.
Dean Jones is "open to all

possibilities" and could arrange
such things as admission to a
Florence Crittenden Home. Dean
Gary pointed out that there
should not be a "hasty attitude";
marriage is not always the best
answer. It would be preferable to
try to work out something else
besides abortion, though.

The family was most often
emphasized as the first place to
which a girl should turn. She
needs their support and
understanding from the start. Dr.
Alston and Dean Gary remarked
that the college should not
replace the family; it has some
responsibility, but not without
the parents. Only if the parents
refused to stand behind their
daughter would the college take
full responsibility. It was
generally brought out that the
^iri herself should be the one to
inform her parents of her
situation.

It is important to deal with
each case on an individual basis.
It is also hard to say what specific,
action would be taken until a
case presents itself. The welfare
of the individual is always the
first consideration. No student
should be afraid of getting a
sermon from anyone to whom
she has gone for help. As Dr.
Alston said, "This is no time to

Modern man is essentially
alone, he is put on his own feet,
expected to stand all by himself.
He can achieve a sense of identity
only by developing the unique
and particular entity which is
"he" to a point where he can
truly sense "I am 1". This
accomplishment is possible only
if he develops his active powers
to such an extent that he can be
related to the world without
having to submerge in it; if he can
achieve a productive orientation.
The alienated person, however,
tries to solve the problem in a
different way, namely by
conforming. He feels secure in
being as similar as possible to his
fellow man. His paramount aim is
to be approved of by others; his
central fear, that he may not be
approved of. To be different, to
find himself in a minority, are the
dangers which threaten his sense!

limitless conformity.... Any
deviation from the pattern, any
criticism, arouses fear and

set in this area of student tiles.
The confidentiality of
information is honored and no
student for example would ever
be allowed to see another
student's file. Prospective
employers more often go to Miss
Murphy for information about a
student or former student that
they are considering hiring, than
the D.O. In the event that a
prospective employer did come
to the Dean's Office for
information, however, the Office
would be very careful not to
share confidential information
with him. In dealing with other
schools (for example, a school to
which a student is interested in
transferring) Dean Jones stated
that the Office must be fair. She
said essentially that we must treat
other institutions of learning as
we would like to be treated by
them.

Personal File And
Academic Record

The personal file contains, in
addition to admissions data and
correspondence, any additional
correspondence that may have
taken place with the student
and/or her parents during her
residence here. It also may
contain any special memoranda
(a recommendation from the
college physician that she be
allowed to drop below the
minimum academic load, for
example).

The academic record (or
permanent record) provides a
useful summary of a student's
entrance data and record of
progress toward the degree.
Entrance data include the
information supplied by the
student on her application for
admission and also high school
entrance credits (not grades) and
the College Board scores.
Transfer credits are also entered
on the permanent record card.
Grades are posted on the
permanent record at the end of

each quarter. Rank in class and
quality point ratio is put on the
record at the end of each session.
The file also contains degree,
major subject, date of graduation,
and any special jcademic honors
(honor roll, graduation honors,
Phi Beta Kappa).

Entries regarding probations
and suspensions are made on the
permanent record. Termination
of probation status is also a part
of this record.

Transcripts of record are
prepared from the permanent
record card although all
information on the card is not
included. Among the information
on the transcript is a complete
listing (with catalogue numbers
and titles) of all courses taken at
Scott. Indicated also is the status
of the student at last attendance
(good standing or honorable
dismissal, probation, suspension,
expulsion).

The above records (personal
file and academic record card) are

confidential records which are
available only to authorized
college personnel. Transcripts of
students' records are sent only on
their written authoriztion

Placement File

The placement file housed in
Dean Gary's Office is kept for use
by prospective employers and is
sent out upon request. This file
contains specific information
(name, address, etc.), and the
number of hours taken in each
subject at Agnes Scott.
References that the student
obtains from faculty members,
are also kept within this file.

Health Record

The health records are kept by
the infirmary. These are medical
records and are strictly
confidential. They are handled as
would be the records in any
doctor's office.

Goodbye College Degree

What would happen if B.A 's

Matthews, Harvard Law student,
investigates the t4 odd-ball"
proposal with serious and sound
reasoning in his feature, ''College
Degrees Have Got To Go!," in
January MADEMOISELLE.

In the MADEMOISELLE
article he brings out that the
degree has been forced to assume
artificial economic and social
valire far out of proportion to the
education it represents. Columbia
sociologist Ivar Berg, has found
that graduates and non-graduates
do the same routine jobs equally
well.

and the "mix" of educational
attainment, while employers keep
redefining and relabeling the jobs
that formerly did not require a
B.A. As a result, the absolute
value of the degree is diminishing
and the disadvantages of not
having one is increasing.

In addition to the economic
discrepancies, Professor Alvin
Bloom of Cornell has found there
to be a "great disproportion
between what students study and
the lives they want to lead." The
American degree hang-up
produces "someone who knows a
lot about a little and a little
about a lot," deducts Mr.
Matthews.

How can all this be overcome?
In his MADEMOISELLE article
Mr. Matthews suggests an ideal
situation wherein young people
could work for a while,
experiment with different arts or
trades, decide on some branch of
knowledge they could profitably
investigate and then return to
college for a few courses.
Over-crowded universities would
no longer exist, because the
full-time compulstion to be there
would be gone.

"Most important," he says,
"society would be freed from this
insane pursuit of paper
credentials instead of
education. ..and institutions
would rethink their personnel
requirements to emphasize
prowess rather than paper."

A Staff of 700

by SUSAN PROPST

Want to know what's going on
around campus? Try the Office
of Public Relations. It's an
interesting and varied place.
Virginia Brewer, News Director,
says that the main objective is to
involve the public in the life of
the college by news releases in
newspapers, television and radio
to inform the public of the free
events that are to take place on
campus.

In the case of music, dance or
drama, various critics are sent
releases and invited to attend.
Often they will write excellent
(and unsolicited) reviews. The PR
Office tries to pinpoint specific
interest groups and notify them
of special events.

The news releases are meant to
be new and interesting. On the
human interest side, for example,
the recent CA Tutorial Program
was given both coverage and an
editorial in the "Atlanta
Journal."

Miss Brewer feels that the best
works of the college are not
publicized and never will be
except in a subtle way-class
discussion, work in the library,
conversations in the dorms are a
part of the college that never
make the headlines but reflect in
the attitudes of the students and
faculty. The present students are
the main way of letting others
know. Miss Brewer feels that this
"staff of 700" are the main
means of spreading the image of
the college.

Specific duties of the Public
Relations Office include
publishing the calander of events,
brochures for specific programs

and newsletters, often in
conjunction with other
departments. With the wide
variety of media available, it is
the job of the PR Office to be
responsible for reporting only
newsworthy material in usable
form.

The News Office initiates most
publicity by trying to relate a
particular event to those
interested. For example, Agnes
Scott made the Sports page of
the Atlanta Journal when the
Southeastern Fencing
Tournament was held here last
quarter. It receive TV coverage
and made the feature page.

The Public Relations Office is
contacted by the media when
student opinion is wanted-"is the
midi seen on campus?" They also
receive questions about the
observatory and visiting lecturers.
They are in charge of press
conferences when we have
visiting dignitaries, such as Dean
Rusk. This year, we are also
represented on the Greater
Atlanta Arts Council.

There are many
surprises-complimentary reviews,
the opportunity to tape a
program for a radio show to be
distributed over the nation, and
extra free half hour of TV time
where students talked about the
summer program in England.

Miss Brewer feels her main
frustration is when she cannot
feel the accomplishment of
getting the message across in
reflecting the excellence of the
school. Yet she is encouraged by
the unconsious job that students
themselves do in promoting the
idea of a liberal-arts college.

PROFILE

Friday. January 22, 1971

Job Market In The 1970s

(Editor's note: the following
information was obtained from a
report by the United States
Department of Labor, "U.S.
Manpower in the 1 970's:
Opportunity and Challenge. "

Trends in the work force and
the nature of labor demands art
constantly changing. The labor
force needs to be flexible enough
to meet the changing needs of
society. Those interested in
entering the labor force in the
near future should note the
changes in workforce patterns. As
society changes, the demand for
certain types of workers changes.
As recently announced, 6 percent
of the nation's work force is
unemployed. That is the highest
level in nine years. Perhaps it
would be helpful to view
projected labor trends.

Students today will be
competing with more and more
people and better educated
people for good jobs. In the
1 970's the labor force, those
working and those seeking work,
is expected to increase by 15
million, and by 1980, 100
million.

This increase in the labor force
is largely due to the post World
War II baby boom. In the 60's
the babies of the boom crowded
the schools, thus causing a
demand for teachers; in the 70's
many will be moving from the
schools into the labor market.
The largest labor force increase in
the 70's will come from the
25-34 age group. This group will
be better educated than the same
age group of the 60's. Seventy
nine percent of the 70 group will
have had some college education
whereas only 69 percent of this
age group in the '60's had some
college education.

More Blacks Enter
Labor Force

In the 1960's the number of
teenagers entering the labor
market increases tremendously,
growing from 2 million in 1960
to over 3 million in 1969, thus
causing high unemployment rates
among youths. In the decade of
the 70's the rate of growth in the
teenage labor force will greatly
slow down. However, according
to the Department of Labor,
there will continue to be much
increase among the young black
labor force. For the years
1 969-1980, ages 16-19, the
percent of increase in the labor
force for whites is a predicted 9
per cent, whereas the percent of
increase for blacks and other
minority groups is 43 percent.
According to the Labor Report,
"One of the most pressing tasks
of the '70's is to make available
job opportunities that will
encourage and enable young
blacks to enter, progress, and
form strong attachments to the
labor force."

Blacks will enter the k 70's with
a larger share in American
economy, but there is still a gap
between whites and blacks in the
areas of education and
employment. In 1960
unemployment for blacks
dropping out or graduating from
high school was 30 percent and
the unemployment rate for
whites dropping out or
graduating for high school was 16
percent. In 1 ^6 8 this
unemployment rate for blacks
was still about twice the white
unemployment rate which was 12
percent compared to 23 percent
for blacks

More Women Work

The proportion of women in
the workforce will continue to
rise. By 1980 the number of
women working will be double
the 1950 figure, according to the
Labor Department. It is
interesting to note that the num^
ber of married! women in the
workforce accounts for much of
the increase. Even married
women with children under 6 are
increasingly entering the labor
force.

The continued entering of
mothers into the workforce is
likely to necessitate further
attention to the need for day
care. Fuller utilization of

women's skills requires adequate
child care arrangement for
women who work full or
part-time.

Thus far, only about 7 percent
of the physicians the United
States are women and only 3
percent of the lawyers are
women. In the past, two out of
three women college graduates
entered teaching. However, with
the passing of the baby boom
fewer teachers will be needed
than in the '60's. This marked
decrease is reflected in the graph.
Many women will have to look
for career opportunities other
than teaching.

According to United States
Department of Labor, the
number of opportunities for
teaching is reducing rapidly and
will continue to do so in the
future. It is suggested that
women expand consideration and
careers to opportunities other
than teaching. In the past, two
out of three women college
graduates have entered teaching.

At Agnes Scott, approximately
one third of each class graduates
with teaching certificates.
According to Margaret Ammons,
chairman of the education
department, most of those
students certified do get teaching
jobs.

Miss Ammons noted, however,
that there is an oversupply of
teachers in all schools. This
oversupply puts schools in a
position to be more selective than
they have been in the past. The
oversupply may also raise the
standards for obtaining a
certificate and more careful
screening of applicants for
teaching certificates may occur,
as is the present practice of most
standard teaching certificate in
the state of Georgia will be a five
professional schools.

Beginning July I, 1974, the

year certificate, thus necessitating
a masters degree. A BA degree
will be acceptable for three years,
but will not be renewable after
this period unless a masters has
been ascertained in the interim.

Miss Ammons noted that about
49 students of the present senior
class will be graduating with a
teaching certificate. She feels that
"a large proportion of these
students will be able to get jobs if
they are willing to go someplace
other than a metropolitan area."

She also noted that there will
be less opportunity for those
teaching English and social
studies than for those certified in
teaching math or science.

Though there will be an
oversupply of teachers, there will
continue to be a demand for
qualified teachers.

Occupational Groups

The fastest growing occupation
are professional and technical.

This group is
expected to increase 50 percent
by 1980. Service occupations
rank second in growth. According
to the Department of Labor, for
the first time, by 1980, the nuin*
ber of professional and technical
workers will equal the number
of blue-collar operatives.

Although the overall quality of
our students appears to be high,

Christians Only
Not Policy

All groups regardless of their belief or manner of dress should have
equal rights to entrance on this campus be they democrats, socialists,
Campus Crusaders, or Krishna people.

The college seemingly does not dispute the fact that all groups,
"Christian" or otherwise, should be able to visit this campus as long
as they go through the necessary channels and obtain permission
from the Dean of Students.

As long as the Dean of Students remains e s ually accessible to
appointments with representatives of all groups, and sets up similar
standards by which each group may operate on the campus, the
college cannot be accused of intolerance or "narrowmindedness."

Allegedly, the Krishna people were told to leave the campus
because they had not obtained the necessary permission. The reason
the members of the Campus Crusade for Christ have not been asked
to leave the campus, as they also constitute an outside group, is not
because they are "Christians", but because they obtained the
required permission. As long as no complaints to the Dean of
Students are issued they are considered by the college to have a right
to be here.

In view of the fact that students often comr/lain of the activity of
the Campus Crusaders, it is interesting te note that no official
complaint has been issued.

However, if we are going to argue that any group be allowed to
present their views to students, we must recognize the right of the
Campus Crusaders. If students find they are too timid or for some
other reason unable to tell the crusaders that they are not interested
when they are approached, this is certainly not the fault of the
Crusaders, and the college may indeed question our ability to handle
other groups.

How many of you faced with the Crusader at the door or on the
phone did not want to discuss anything with her, but rather than
saying so, begrudgingly let her in the door or agreed on the phone to
see her and then cowardly hid at the agreed-upon time?

If some students are individually unable to frankly tell others that
they are not interested in what they have to offer at that time, then
the college policy of policing the entrance of other groups and
structuring their activity is perhaps necessary.

We believe it undesirable, however, that this group or any future
group be allowed to enter dormitories and knock on doors to further
propagate, and suggest that groups use the mail room, the Hub or the
dining hall (This does not mean going from table to table, however)
for their discussions.

How To Sleep?

Is it true that Dorm Council spent an hour discussing whether or
not students should be allowed to put their mattresses on the floor
and thus sleep without the bed frame? Surely the intelligence if not
the sanity of the community is threatened if this desire to sleep
accordingly is considered an issue. Shall the college be adding a policy
on "HOW TO SLEEP"?

The College Process

In my weekly skimming of other college newspapers, I recently
came across an interesting article in the January 22 issue of THE
WEST GEORGIAN newspaper entitled, "College System Means
Miseducation of Values." The article was written by Editor Irene
Young, who recently resigned. Some of the article is an explanation
of her resignation but includes interesting points concerning the
educational process and the examining of one's priorities. Her points
are worth consideration.

When a man sits down right in
front of the rest of his life - and
tries to weigh every load he may
possibly have to carry - the most
important thing to that man, at
that particular point in his life,
should be the whereabouts of his
priorities.

If his priorities lie outside what
others may consider proper - then
he must decide which is more
important - appearing sane to the
people around him, or living the
life style he has the potential to
create.

For realizing the location of
our priorities is only the
beginning. The exploration of
those priorities must follow.

For the past six months I have
been weighing my thoughts and
arriving at my priorities. And at
this point I find myself attracted
to alternatives other than that of
a classroom situation such as this
college has to offer.

I by no means find college
synonynous with education. Yet,
I do find that the college process
is synonynous with miseducation
and dehumanization.

The question in my mind now
has become an inquiry
concerning real individual
achievement. Do we really learn,
or are we robots struggling to
memorize steps one, two, and
three for something called an
examination - and then forgetting
it all because it really wasn't a
part of our life experience. This is
what I am presently questioning -
and this is what I believe we all
must answer.

The attitude our educational
system impresses upon us is, for
the most part, an attitude
involving the motion of "gain."
The tragedy here is what it
influences us to gain. We all know
it is not fulfillment of any hunger
for knowledge, or fulfillment of
any meaningful purpose during
our existence. Instead it
influences us to gain in respect to
a monetary fulfillment.

So we try to fulfill our hunger
to make money - so we go to
college because no one will hire
us if we don't - so we don't care
about anything except that piece
of paper called a diploma -
because it's our life.

Letters

To the Editor:

About two weeks ago a group
of students had the privilege of
hearing Reverend Richard
Wurmbrand speak in Macon,
Georgia. This man has endured
14 years of unbelievable torture
at the hands of the communists
in Rumania. What was his crime?
He dared to present the truth and
life of Jesus Christ to a people
who are continually told by the
government that there is no God.
The people of communist nations
are not allowed to decide for
themselves what they will believe
about God. I am afraid we
Americans often take our
precious freedom for granted.

However, we who claim
Christ's pame can no longer live
in ignorance of an indifference to
what our brothers in Christ are
suffering in communist countries.
When one member of the Body
of Christ suffers all suffer.

The purpose of this letter is to
inform this community of the
hardships our brothers are
experiencing. In spite of

imprisonment and persecution to
Christian martyrs and their
families, the Underground
Church survives and grows.

We in America must do all we
can to help. Is there anything we
at Agnes Scott College can do?
First, become aware of the
situation. Reverend Wurmbrand
has written several books which
may be found in many
bookstores or may be ordered
from: Jesus to the Communist
World, Inc., Box 11, Glendale,
California, 91209.

This organization, supported
entirely by the gifts of concerned
Christians, smuggles Bibles
behind the Iron and Bamboo
curtains either through couriers
or by balloons, aids the families
of martyrs, and supports radio
broadcasts. Anyone wishing more
information may receive a free
monthly newsletter by writing to
the above address.

The Underground Church
needs our prayers. Please do not
forget our brothers.

Student
Opinion

Why is only a minute segment
of the outside world able to
penetrate ths bounds of the
Agnes Scott campus? Considering
the fact that there are no fences,
barricades, guard posts, dogs, or
watchtowers, what keeps people
out?

Possibly they do not want to
come here. This is no cause for
offence, since we normally have
no particular desire to go where
they are, either. Most people
have no business here; some of us
aren't even even sure of our own.
Others are not aware of our
existence; this is their loss.

So who does come here other
than those directly concerned
with some aspect of the school
itself? When it comes to outsiders,
not everyone rates. Here is a
proposed checklist to consult
about anyone you may be
planning to invite on campus. If
all points are favorable, extend
the invitation, otherwise proceed
wihh caution

1 . Appear a n c e .
Unconventional attire or coiffure
reduces chances of admission to
zero. Strange clothing and long
hair (or none at all) practically
guarantees mental aberration.
Besides, it looks funny.

2. Behavior. Try to avoid
bringing subversive radicals.
Potential weirdos are
everywhere. Don't be fooled by
genteel conduct

plenty of nice folks do a lot of
strange things. Be a helpful
hostess and tell your guest not to
do anything that might get undue
attention.

3. Objective. Watch out for
people with something to offer,
Solicitors arc forbidden around
here, so don't risk taking
anything, even if it's free. Any
voluntary donation is a no-no.
Especially h d to cope with arc
the peddlers f intangibles. Don't
allow exchange of ideas to take
more solid form than the spoken
word.

5, Attitude. Check out a
visitor's modus operandi.
Proselytizing can be tricky. As
long as there is nothing material
involved, exponents of anything
faintly resembling religion are
free to play missionary to those
unable to fend them off. On the
other hand, those who present
their case without nauseating
hard-sell bring suspicion upon
themselves.

It may be a good idea to play it
safe and disguise outsiders as
students. Boys would present a
problem, but any Scottie bright
enough to find someone
acceptable can surely find a way
to cover them up.

Budget Priorities Studied-
No Time For Tradition

Friday, February 5, 1971

PROFILE

The A.A.U.P. Committee on
Fiscal Affairs has drawn up a list,
of proposals for new approaches
in financial issues.

The report was prepared by-
Jack Nelson, Phil Reinhart,
Renate Thimester and Faith
Willis.

This committee has had at its
disposal a copy of the Agnes
Scott budget for the year ending
June 30, 1970. In essence, they
are trying to find out if there
might be room for rearrangement
of priorities within the budget,
ultimately proving more
advantageous academically.

A whole new method of
approach-- referred to as
"busincss-like"--is being
suggested through these
proposals. Miss Thimester
observed, "We cannot continue

by GINGER ROLLINS

making academic decisions
without relation to financial
reality/'

The first suggestion concerns
long ranve vs. short range
budgeting. The report reads, "As
far as has been ascertainsd. there
is no significant long range
budgeting of any kind." One
example of long-range planning
would be to compare the cost of
maintenance of some of the older
buildings on on this campus with
the cost of constructing or
leasing new or more
maintenance- free buildings.

Cost analysis of a given
academic curriculum was the
subject of the second suggestion.
The cost of maintaining a given
academic program and physical
plant must be set up in relation
to a variably sized student body.

Criteria- -Graduating
With Honor

Colleges and universities vary in
criteria used to determine
qualifications for graduating with
high honors or with honors.
Agnes Scott College uses the
following criteria to determine
whether a student will graduate
with high honor or with honor.

To graduate with high honor, a
student must have an overall
quality point ratio (covering all
four years) of at least 2.60, and
she must have completed a
minimum of six hours of
independent study. For a student
to graduate with honor, she must
have a minimum quality point
ratio of 2.30.

In both cases, the student must
have maintained the minimum

level for the quality point ratio in
her last two years, and she must
have made the honor roll in at
least one of these years. The
student must further be
recommended by her major
department.

A two-year student (in other
words a junior transfer) is not
eligible to graduate from Scott
with high honor.

A faculty committee on
graduation honors tabulates the
grades of each senior to see if she
qualifies. Sara L. Ripy, professor
of mathematics, is usually the
chairman of this committee.
Dean of the Faculty, Julia Gary,
and another faculty member also
serve on the committee.

Having a good major offered
in a particular subject is an
expensive matter. The cost of
academic materials such as books
and the cost of faculty must be
considered. As examples of the
point, the report raises certain
questions. In a school with this
size student body, is it feasible to
maintain all the different majors
Or if the enrollment increases by
100, should, or could a new
major be added ?

All of the suggestions in this
report represent "a business-like
approach to academic budgeting.
This apparently has been
traditionally avoided because of
inherent differences between a
business and academic
institutions." However, as Miss
Thimester pointed out,
"Tradition is no longer a good
enough reason for why we do
things, especially in this time of
increasing cost and decreasing
fund availability."

There were also several
suggestions for immediate
consideration in this report. One
concerned money allotted for
faculty travel. The report reads:
"In a college with small
academic departments,
interaction with professiona I
colleagues outside of the college
seems of great importance." Five
thousand dollars was allocated
for this purpose the 1970-71
budget. For 74 full-time faculty
members, this averanes only
$67.57.

Several proposals are being
suggested by this committee for a
better faculty travel plan "in the
belief that academic excellence
lies partially with the keeping up
with one's field through personal
contacts and participation at
(Continued on page 8)

These students participating in the Crafts classes
sponsored by Arts Council every Wednesday night
seem really absorbed in their work.

Brown Resigns
As Senior Rep.

Cassandra Brown, senior representative to Student Government,
announced her resignation in Rep Council Tuesday, January 26:

Dear Carolyn and Members of Representative Council:

For some time I have been distressed about the relevance of Representative
Council. Its actions or in some cases its lack of action speak of a board more
concerned with self-perpetuation, maintenance of tradition, and propriety than
with flexibility, in adapting and addressing itself to matters salient to the real
needs of the students and college.

The role of this board has so diverged from my concept of its purpose that I
am no longer able to maintain a belief in self and remain associated with this
group. For these reasons I do submit my resignation as senior member of
Representative Council.

Though immediately following the defeat of resolution 98 (January 12,
1971) my resignation was not directly caused by this vote. In fact, this letter
would have been in your hands much earlier had I not felt a responsibility to
complete, to the best of my ability, the Co-Chairmanship of the Committee on
Constitutional Revision.

Respectfully submitted,
Cassandra Brown

Cassandra remarked that she retains belief in 4 'rational process and
cxDmrnitrnent in student government". Her main objection is to the way
Representative Council is run here and now. It could be an effective
organization, but is not functioning as it should.

The position of senior representative will probably remain vacant since
elections are to be held during the first part of spring quarter.

Outside Groups Must Have Permission

by CAROLE KROC and ELLEN WILLINGHAM

Recently four members of the
Society for Krishna

Consciousness visited the Agnes
Scott campus. They stationed
themselves in both dining halls,
displaying their literature, asking
for donations to "their cause" in
lieu of a selling price for then-
articles, and talking to anyone
interested in learning more about
the Krishna philosophy or
organization.

Soon after the arrival of the
group, however. Dean of
Students Roberta Jones asked it
to leave the campus. The Krishna
members left. A few days after
the incident Dean Jones
explained to the Profile what
happened and her reasons for
requesting that they leave.

According to Dean Jones, she
first became aware of the Krishna
group's presence on campus
when she went to lunch. She
noticed that they were "dressed
to attract attention." Also, she
saw a student giving money to
one of the members. "This is
strictly against college policy,"
she stressed, although the
Krishna member explained that
they were not selling but asking
for donation. They have a policy
that if someone doesn't want to
donate, but is interested in then

literature, they give it to him
anyway. They said they 'lost
money giving literature away at
Agnes Scott.

The visitors said that the
general response at Agnes Scott
was very nice, and that people
seemed very interested.

They went on to say that Dean
Jones asked them to leave, saying
that they would have to make an
appointment through her office
to talk to her if they wanted to
return. One member added that
at first she didn't sound very
optimistic about this possibility.
He commented: "1 think maybe
she was hungry... she didn't want
to talk, like she was in a hurry to
do something else... maybe she'd
had a difficult day.. .she was just
doing her job."

When asked if they had been
well received by authorities on
other campuses, the Hare Krishna
replied that they had run into
problems, but, "Dean Jones
wanted us to go pretty
quick.. .usually it's not quite like
that."

The members added that they
would like to come back, and
would be willing to follow the
rules and go through the proper
channels to do so.

Miss Jones also noted that one

man was "stopping people at the
door" and that she was informed
that two girls were in the lower
dining hall 'going from table to
table" while people were catimj
lunch.

Before she started to eat her
own lunch. Dean Jones
confronted the two men in the
dining hall's lobby and explained
that they could not stay on
campus "without proper
authorization/ 1 She told them, in
her words, "We want to
cooperate with you if you will
cooperate with us." She asked
them to leave immediately and, it"
they wished to return 'at another
time, first to make an
appointment to see her by calling
her secretary. By the time Dean
Jones finished her lunch the
Krishna group was gone.

Dean Jones stated that when
the incident occurred she did not
know what the group
represented, and she "didn't have
time to find out."

As for the reasons behind her
actions. Dean Jones explained
that it is "customary for me to
give permission" to individuals
and organizations who want to
come onto the Agnes Scott
campus and solieit or talk to
students. She stressed that this is

done to protect students from
being "literally hounded to death
and having the academics
interrupted" by outside groups.
Such diversions, she feels, can
hinder and waste a student's time
which should be used for such
activities as studying.

There is no "standard" for
determining which groups are
allowed to solicit on campus bur
"cooperation" is a vital factor.
Groups like the Campus Crusade
for Christ have been given
permission because they
presented "an attitude of wanting
to cooperate, not antagonize the
community" when they made
arrangements with Dean Jones
for their canvassing. These
groups usually ask what they will
be allowed to do on campus and
then plan accordingly.

Dean J ernes pointed out that
the administration does feel
"obligated to give students an
opportunity to hear all views."
She used as examples the
allowances of gubernatorial
candidate Sanders"
representatives and Linda Jeness
ot the Socialist party on campus..
(Mrs. Jeness decided not to
appear, how ever. )

Dean Jones stated that if the

Krishna group wanted to return
to Scott, she would explain to
them the policies concerning
outside groups on campus and
would then decide what course of
action would be most suitable for
the college. She saw little
problem in doing this, since to
her the group "seemed to want to
cooperate with what I wanted to
do."

This incident with the Society
for Krishna Consciousness
brought to light the tact that
many students are ignorant of the
school policy on "Loiterers,
Canvassers, and Salesmen," as
printed on page 24 of the 1 970-
1971 Student Handbook. In the
interest ot" student enlightenment
and student responsibility for
preventing harassment by
bothersome outsiders, the policy

"Loiters, canvassers, and
salesmen are not allowed on
the campus. Students are to
report any unauthorised
person immediately to the
office of the Dean of
Students."
Dean Jones re-emphasi/ed this
point bv asking that students
be ing disturbed bv ANY such
persons report their compa lints
to her.

by ELLEN WILLINGHAM

Upon visiting other campuses, one is often struck with the
difference between the atmosphere at other colleges and universities
and the prevailing atmosphere at Agnes Scott.

Being a womens college there is of course the absence of men.
There is also an absence of

-groups sitting on a curb strumming a guiitar or in a heated
arguement concerning the "rights" vs. "immorality" of the Gay
Liberation Movement

-posters commanding attention to rallies for co-ed dorms, rallies
for political candidates, rallies opposing U.S. intervention in
Southeast Asia, rallies citing the need for bettering the conditions of
black workers at the college and elsewhere

-literature and pamphlets handed out informing students of the
activities of Young Socialsists or meetings of the Black Student
Alliance

The absence of such groups whether they are advocating issues,
disputingnational policies or questioning tradiational values, has
prompted the PROFILE to attempt a series of interviews with
representatives of such groups which are found on many campuses.
Let it be understood that the PROFILE does not necessarilly
agree with all those ideas and issues promoted

promoted but we feel one's own opinions and beliefs can often bt
clarified and made stronger or changed through a consideration of all
views and an opportunity to discuss these views with others. Such
opportunity is lacking on our campus. Therefore when possible we
will bring some of these groups on campus as well as replace their
news thorough interviews.

One group frequently seen on other campuses as well as on the
strip or downtown A tlanta is that of the Hare Krishna. Their religious
cult and philosophy in some respects offers us an opportunity to
explore views quite different from those to which we are most
exposed. In other less superficial ways our philosophies are similar.

SPIRITUAL FEAST AND FESTIVAL FOR KRISHNA
EVERYONE WELCOME SUNOAYS AT 4 P.M.

(Editor's note: This article was
written a week before the
incident in which the krishna
people were asked to leave the
Agnes Scott campus. The krishna
people had been invited to the
campus by members of the
PROFILE).

Looking for an adventure on
Sunday afternoon? Bet you never
thought of going to a Hare
Krishna feast. ..complete with
chants and a free supper to boot.

Maybe you've already run into
the Hare Krishna people. There
are nine living in Atlanta at their
center" International Society for
Krishna Consciousness) on 13th
Street. But they aren't isolated
here by any means. A large
portion of their day is spent
visiting local colleges and
downtown Atlanta.

The men shave their heads, but
leave some hair that they make
into a sort of braided ponytail at
the crown. Both sexes wear a
sari-like outfit with beads. The
group is also identified by then-
chanting instruments, which
include tambourines and drums.

Obviously differing from the
blue-jeans and long-hair norm,
the Hare Krishna people feel that
their appearance serves as an easy
identification for people who are
having difficulty in the material
work and want to come to the
Hare Krishna for spiritual help.
They also say that their
appearance helps create a total
atmosphere and reminds them of
what they are doing as members
of the Hare Krishna movement.

In Hare Krishna philosophy,
Krishna stands for God. Five
thousand years ago, Krishna
said to have spoken the
Bha-savad-gita, the scriptures on
which the whole religion is based.
The Hare Krishna say that Lord
Caitanya appeared five hundred
years ago in India, and made the
prediction that the Holy Names
of God, Hare (maining'hail')
Krishna would be carried to every
town and village of the world,
and only in this way could real
peace prevail. In 1966, the
Spiritual Master of the
movement, Prabhupada, who is
said to be in line of disciplic
succession from Lord Caitanya,
came to the United States and
formed the International Society
for Krishna Consciousness.
Prabhupada, says:

There are at least 25 centers of
the Hare Krishna in cities
throughout the country. In
addition to the nine members,
the Hare Krishna center here in
Atlanta has about 100 regular
visitors at least once every two
weeks.

The center here at 24 13 th
Street has chanting, a lecture, and
discussions on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:30
p.m. Tuesday nights are devoted
to a cooking class which starts at
7:00. The temple is always open,
and anyone is welcome.

The Hare Krishna live by four
basic principles: 1. no intoxicants
allowed (including drugs, alcohol,
tobacco, tea, or coffee) 2. no sex
outside of marriage, 3. no
gambling, 4. no eating of meat,
fish or eggs.

Their society consists of four
orders. The brahanachary
includes students, the grihatha
consists of the householders of
married life, the varnaprastha is
made up of those in the retired
life, while the sanyas is the
renounced ordder of life just for
men. At this point, the man
leaves home or his family
connection, and goes about
preaching.

Women play a subservient role
in -Hare Krishna society. When
asked why, a leader of the local
group said that the women's
body has a tendency toward
illusion, and that in spiritual life,
the man is supposed to be the
head of the household. He added
that the women have no real
worries... they are fully protected
and cared for. The Hare Krishna
marriage must be sanctioned by
the state marriage license just like
anybody else's.

A typical day for the member
starts at 4 a.m. At 5:00, there is a
chanting with all the members
present, and at 5:30 a reading.
Breakfast is followed by more
individual chanting on beads, at 8
a.m., there is another reading for
an hour, and from 9:00 to 10:30
a.m., regular duties are performed
such as cleaning the temple or
going to the store. From 10:30 to
1:00, all members go to the
universities, and return at noon
for the noon offering and to have
lunch. At the schools, the
members chant, distribute
magazines, and invite people to
come to the temple. 2:30 to 6:00
is spent downtown or on the strip
around the 10th Street area, at 6
p.m., the members clean up and
have milk and bread, and are free
until 7:30, when they have their
evening chant. Afterwards, there
are guests and classes. At 9 p.m.,
there is another food offering,
after which the members retire.

The support themselves from
donations and from a small
amount of money made off
literature and incense. They
believe they can depend on
Krishna for their needs: "He
provides very nicely."

If you're interested in visiting
these people, you'll surely be
welcome. They're very hospital
and friendly.. .even while having
to wait when six spaced Agnes
Scott students couldn't figure out
how to use a Polaroid Camera.

Reknowned Poet To Visit Campus

W. H. Auden, poet, essayist and
critic who has won international
fame in all of these areas of
literary achievement will give a
reading on Tuesday, February 9,
8:15 p.m., in Presser Hall at
Agnes Scott College. Under the
auspices of the Agnes Scott
Lecture Committee, the
presentation is open to the public
at no charge.

The self-imposed exile from his
native England has been writing
poetry since he was 15, and his
first book of poems was
published when he was 20. Now
at the age of 62, he has had two
volumes published. His "City
Without Walls" appeared early in

19 70, and his widely-hailed 4 *A
Certain World" made its
appearance during the summer.

Wystan Hugh Auden was born
in Birmingham, England in 1907.
He has been a resident of the
United States since 1929, and an
American citizen since 1946.
Educated at Gresham's School,
Holt, and at Christ Church,
Oxford, he became associated
early in his career with a small
group of young writers in
London, among them Stephen
Spender and Christopher
Isherwood. They soon became
recognized as the most promising
writers of that period and have
continued to achieve literary

distinction of the highest order.

Auden is, however, best known
for his poetry. His volumes of
verse include "The Double Man,"
"For the Time Being," 'The Age
of Anxiety," "Nones," and "The
Shield of Achilles," which
received the National Book
Award in 1956. That same year
he was elected Professor of
Poetry at Oxford University.
"Homage to Clio" was published
in 1960. He is today considered
by many critics to be the greatest
poet now writing in English, and
all of his works attract wide and
favorable attention throughout
the world. Most of his writing has
been translated into several
foreign languages.

Daisy's Winter Treat

Sophomores who are desperate
for a Valentine on February 12
and 13 will at least be able to cry
on Mom or Dad's shoulder. In the
midst of winter quarter the
campus will be livened up by the
welcome faces of sophomores 1
parents. Each winter since 1958
Agnes Scott has had Sophomore
Parents Week End.

The parents go to classes with
their daughters. They also attend
a Saturday luncheon in the dining
hall only for sophomores and
their parents. Dr. and Mrs. Alston
give a coffee.

For entertainment will be the
Sophomore Parents Week End
Creative Arts Production
(SPWECAP) and a Dolphin Club
show.

"It will be different from years
before. The show is in a more
serious vein but retains humor
and talent in its production."
Gigi Laughridge said this about
SPWECAP, which is called,
"Reckoning." She and Kathy
Warne direct "Reckoning."

"Reckoning" is an unusual
approach to the life of a typical
Agnes Scott sophomore. The cast
of forty-five portray a diversity
of personalities, which includes
two minor MALE roles.

Susan Freeman plays the
leading lady as Agnes Everyman.
Instead of a leading man, there is
a leading angel, played by Alice
Faulkner.

The show will be presented
Thursday night, February 1 1 and
Friday night, February 12. It
starts at 7:30 and 9:00 p.m. The
Dolphin Club will per from
"Splashdown" in the gym pool at
the same time "Reckoning" is
playing in Dana. This is so
everyone may see both shows.

It was Dr. McNair in 1956 who
suggested a committee to
investigate a parents' activity. Dr.
Alston appointed a committee.
They decided that another parent
activity was needed besides
Senior Investiture. The
committee looked into the
activities of other schools, such as
Sweetbriar and Randolph-Macon.

Since there is not enough room
on campus for all parents, this
weekend was to be for the
parents of sophomores. The
faculty approved the plan. In
February, 1958 Agnes Scott had
the first Sophomore Parents
Week End.

A faculty member serves as
co-chairman with the president of
the sophomore class on the main
planning committee. Usually
about 75% of the parents attend
each year, according to Dr.
McNair. The luncheon serves
about 500.

Daisy Mae is participating in
the 14th Sophomore Parents
Week End. She invites "yaTl" to
come on Thursday, February 1 1
to "Splashdown" and
"Reckoning."

pollution

Modern technology and
industry produce for twentieth
century man an abundance of
material goods unequaled in
history. At the same time,
however, rapid invention and
development also create rapid
obsolescence, bequeathing
modern man not only his share
of new and advanced machines
and gadgets but also a bounty of
last-year's-models and outmoded
designs. In a unique program
Atlanta's Central Metals
Company is working to focus
attention on the growing
problem of waste materials by
sponsoring a sculpture contest
that uses scrap metal as the
primary resource and exhibits
art works that are genuine
products of this technological
age.

Among the growing
hodgepodge of discarded and
outdated machines, abandoned
automobiles stand out as the
greatest offenders.
Ironically, in addition to the
monumental eyesores created by
them, those 20 million
automobiles could be used as an
important industrial resource;
they represent more than a
billion dollars' worth of
re-useable metal.

Viewing "No Blade of Grass" is grain crops and animals.

not a pleasurable experience.

Unless the sick stomach takes
over first, the movie can appeal
to the intellect and imagination
as it thrusts the viewer into a
world in which pollution,
population, and disease have
destroyed all that sustains life.

only to find the city closed.

action because a virus from Asia
had spread across Europe, killing

This normal family unit of a
very civilized society learns
quickly to kill for what few
life-sustaining resources remain.
The father, an important London
architect, becomes the leader of a
small group of people fighting for
survival.

The law of the jungle prevails
as England is in a state of
anarchy. Human beings living by
"kill, or be killed," with
machine-gun technology at their
fingertips is a devastating
possibility.

Project plans presently include
these four points: 1 ) interviewing
used car dealers, operators of
auto salvage yards, scrap
processors, steelmakers,
foundrymen and metallurgists; 2)
analyzing the results to determine
the real bottlenecks to recycling

in central Iowa and the Midwest;
3) doing a cost-benefit study of
alternate ways of processing or
using scrap steel and other
automobile materials; 4)
investigating alternate markets
for auto scrap steel and other
materials.

Visitors Comment On Agnes Scott

from ENGLAND

Have you ever wanted to just
pick up and take a trip around
the world? That's what- two
recent visitotors to Agnes Scott
did. Paul De Lancey, 22, of
Falmouth, Cornwall, England and
Tom Roberts, 24, of Kenya, East
Africa graduated from an
agricultural college in England
last year and left in July for a trip
around the world.

First, they flew to New York
(on student discount) and made
their way to Ontario, Canada,
where they worked several weeks
picking tobacco. From there,
they went almost to the Alaskan
border, Vancouver, down to San
Francisco, where they stayed
several weeks. They spent
Christmas in Indiana. Next, they
worked their way back to New
York and started down through
DC, Richmond, and on to
Atlanta. They plan next to go to
Florida, to New Orleans for
Mardi Gras, over to Texas, down

into Mexico and then to Central
and South America.

Their main observations are
thay they find the system a
"no-no" but the people are
wonderful. The country is
dynamic but too commercialized.
They have met many nice people
and find their biggest frustration
is being aware that they must
move on, not knowing exactly
where the end is. One of the
things they disliked most was
billboards and felt they are a
desecration of the country. Their
favorite places have been
California and Canada.

At Agnes Scott they do not
like the idea of many girls
without boys: they felt it is an
"unhealthy atmosphere." They
were very impressed with their

i welcome. They were
surprised but pleased they have
been allowed to attend lectures,
not a custom in England.

Aiding The Mentally
Retarded

by ANN McMILLAN and MARIANNE BRADLEY

Sixteen Agnes Scott students
are working with the mentally
retarded at DeKalb- Rockdale
Training Center. The project was
set up last quarter through
Christian Association.

The Center is a public
institution of DeKalb and
Rockdale counties, and has an
enrollment of 103 students from
ages four to forty-four.
Approximately -.60% are undei
sixteen.

According to project chairman
Karen Adams, the Center is a
regular school adapted to the
capacities of the students. Math
and reading are taught, as well as
grooming, games, and other
activities. Frequent parties,
dances, and assemblies help
psy c h ol ogically distrubed
individuals to relate to other
people.

Davara Dye helps with music
classes at the center, which are
designed to present, through
songs that the students can enjoy,
such lessons as co-ordination
skills, motor skills, days of the
week, and concepts such as over,

under, and around. Davara
commented, "I love the music
because I'm not with just one
group but with two classes, and
get to know more of the kids.
They're all such individuals.
They're great!"

Judy Carol Duncan told about
her first experience with Edward,
who is severely retarded. "He
tried to see how much he could
get by with, and scratched me
severely. After he found out that
I was firm with him he started
being responsive." She described
her work at the Center as
"rewarding."

Karen Adams described a
"good day" at the school as one
in which "we said something to a
very sick person and tried to help
them and they responded. It
makes you feel good if they
remember."

Although the program has been
a success, the girls find
transportation a major problem.
Continuation of the program
depends on volunteer drivers
willing to donate 20 minutes and
a car.

Tradition Prevails At Sewanee

Sewanee, Tenn.-(I.P.>Students
voted to retain their
hundred-year-old coat and tie
tradition for classes and dining at
the University of the South, with
coeds to wear skirts in the same
situations. The girls are only in
their second year here and their
dress customs had not been
codified.

The faculty received and
approved a resolution to support
the dress code by requesting its

observance when necessary. The
existing dress rules as they appear
in the student handbook were
modified for more informal
occasions.

Although much discussion
preceded the modification almost
all delegates voted to maintain
the traditional code. The Order
of Gownsmen, the older student
governing body whose
membership is determined by
academic standing, ratified the
Delegate Assembly's action.

Smith students, I believe, are
more aware of the dichotomy
and have done more to lessen it.
They are more aggressive, more
politicized, more active in the

Another difference, and a
saving difference for Scott, is that

reasonable distance . Blind dates

from SMITH

On the basis of my short
week's stay at Agnes Scott
College, I have been conned by
my sister into presenting my view
of Agnes Scott as compared to
Smith College, a northern
women's college.

After attending Smith College
my freshman year, I transferred
to the University of Texas where
1 am now a sophomore.

Dorm life seems to serve at
Scott as it did at Smith: as a
source of entertainment, of relief
from studies, and of strong
friendships. I believe that the
frinedships developed at a girl's
school as Smith or Scott are
deeper and stronger than those at

a large university. Emory , s < w> library can

As far as I can judge, Smith and supply the answer to a girl's

attitudes of the students, and the Scotties come only to get dates,

them. At Scott, it seems, as at this false assumption by looking
Smith, the girls come to school completely at home,
"to study" and place a good deal Upon entering the library, you

are profuse at both schools, but
at Scott these hazards last for
only a night. At Smith blind
dates generally are contracted for
a weekend. Yale, Dartmouth,
Trinity and Williams provide a
wealth of men but they're
inacessible - the closest being two
hours away.

of importance on their work
Both Smith and Scott have
beautiful restful campuses with a
"retreat" type of atmosphere.
The "ivory tower" escapist type
of life Smithies complained of so
much seems also very applicable
to Scott. Scott, however, seems
to be one step further removed
from the "normal" business of
life than Smith. At Scott, as at
Smith, there is a failure to
prepare to women to deal with a
man's world.

you, the circulation desk, and in
front of you, the study partition.
The area around the stairs is the
major meeting and greeting place
for various members of the
Emory jet-set (the lounge upstairs
theoretically serves this capacity.)
It also comprises a happy-hunting
ground for wolves with holding
stack cards (Scott's ID's do not
work.)

Upon returning to the main
floor approach your wolf and ask
him to check out your books.
This process often takes a long

"Le Treteau de Paris'under the

Monday, February 22, at 8:15
p.m., in Presser Hall.

"Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme,"
considered one of the most
perfect and funniest XVII
century French musicals,
combines music and dance with
social satire. In an attempt to
mirror the customs of the day
and at the same time please his
audience, Moliere has satirized
the Royal Court by scattering
pure nonsense and pure creation
throughout the comedy
masterpiece.

Although Moliere's purpose
was solely to entertain his
audience, he interjected
psychology into "Le Bourgeois
Gentilhomme." Moliere conveys
the idea that all humanity is
made of fools and knaves. He also
emphasizes that man wants to be
something he is not.

"Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme"
scores as a delightful play, newly
produced and performed by Les
Comediens Des Champ Elysees.

interested in attending. Ticket
prices are $3.00 for students and

Student Unrest Caused
By Educational Process

Emporia, Kan.- l.P.)-I-
n difference to teaching and
concern over the entire
"educational process" may be the
major factors resulting in student
unrest on college campuses across
the country, according to
Laurence Boylan, Dean of
Graduate Studies at Kansas State
Teachers College.

Dean c Boylan recently
completed a year-long tour of
colleges in the United States and
Europe. He says "the main
reasons for student unrest by
moderate students are to be
found in the educational process
of the colleges and not in social
issues."

He visited 35 schools in the
U.S. and Europe and came back
here convinced there are "serious
and critical shortcomings in the
educational process in higher
education. "

Dean Boylan said campuses are
divided into "camps." Students
and sometimes some faculty
members make up one camp, he
said, and the other is composed
of faculty and administration and
sometimes trustees. "Coordinated
purpose and direction is
impossible where polarization
occurs," DeancBoylan continued.

He made a careful study of
characteristics of what he termed
"the protest prone campus," and
said most important is that "the
aims and purposes of faculty,
students, administrators and
trustees are not in congruence."

Students desire an integration
of subject matter with personal
development and faculty
continue to place emphasis on
facts and information, Dean
Boylan said.

No Appl

(Continued from page 1)

In these interviews, Wallace
Alston, president of the college,
stated that he explains to the
applicant the nature of this
institution. If the person feels
that he or she can support the
school in its endeavors, the
applicant is considered for the
opening.

Dr. Alston enumerated three
points concerning the nature of
Agnes Scott. One, we are an
institution of higher learning that
cares about academic matters; we
try to maintain high academic
standards. Two, the school wishes
to remain relatively small. This is
done in order that people as
individuals with individual
personalities can be stressed.
Education is not a simple matter
of smearing a* little knowledge
over the brain but goes much
deeper. Three, this college has a
commitment as, a Christian
institution, prom its very
founding, Agnes Scott was
established to be a fine academic

Too often, he stressed, students
are accused of being interested
only in "relevance" with no
course content, history or factual
base for their judgement." The
indictment is false," he said, "but
we don't understand that. We just
keen eivine our lecturpc "

He lists these characteristics of
the "protest prone- campus": I.
The aims and purposes of faculty,
students, administrators and
trustees are not in congruence. 2.
Lack of coordinated purposes in
the areas of teaching, learning
and inquiry. 3. Indifference of
the faculty to instruction and
other aspects of the educational
process. 4. Teaching not having a
basis in psychology of learning. 5.
Research in many instances is not
coordinated with the teaching
function. 6. People are not
considered as a major segment of
the educational process. The
"system" is what is left after
people have been squeezed out.
7. Lack of coherent philosophy
necessary for campus
cohesiveness. 8. Facts and
information constituting the
major aim of education. 9. All
segments of the campus are not
involved in the decision making
process. 10. Grading procedures,
course and degree requirements
are not reviewed . 11.
Authoritarian attitudes used by
faculty and administration in
educational process activities. 12.
Lack of warm relationships
among faculty and students. 13.
Lack of experience leading to
involvement of students in the
process of a subject matter area.

14. Educational experiences not
related to living in today's world.

15. Availability of militant
student leadership is required to
involve moderate students in
protest.

ication

institution' in a Christian context.
This dopfc not mean that everyone
(students or faculty) should think

alike; yet the college must keep
the Christian values in people
"open as live options".

Included within these Christian
values are the freedom to think,
and to learn. "If you are going to
have a Christian college you must
do it through people. This does
not mean that these people must
conform through
Churchmanship"-you do not
have to be a Presbyterian or a
Protestant or even a Christian.
Given that this is a school
founded in Christian principles,
to become a member of the
faculty, you must feel that you
can support that kind of an
institution.

Senator Richard B. Russell, 73,

result of a chronic lung disease.
He had served in the Senate 38
years under six Presidents.
Russell built his national career
largely as chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee and
the powerful Appropriations
Committee. Having served well as
president protem of the Senate,
he was eulogized by both
Democrats and Republicans.
Senator Russell died
coincidentally on the day that

professional meetings."

Another suggestion has to do
with faculty research and
publication. Research is a major
responsibility of the college
faculty. Again, only $5,000 was
allotted for this activity. The
committee recommends that "in
the interest of academic
excellence, thut all reasonable
research requests be met for a
one-year period as an
experiment. "

Finally the report reads: " In
the line of economizing or
arranging priorities in terms of
academic excellence, it is
recommended that faculty be
polled (and students as well, if
possible) concerning the need for
$7,500 entertainment budget
when faculty travel and research
funds only total $10,000.
Perhaps exam teas, faculty
meeting refreshments and other
entertainment could be reduced.
It is recognized that these are
functional, but in a tight money
situation, some priorities must be
established."

Miss Thimester summed up the
purpose of this report as follows.:
"First we must decide if we
want to be an academically
superior institution and then
what it will cost to continue to be
that. Or do we want to be just
another creepy little college that
hangs around"

New System At Oberlin

Oberlin, Ohio-(I. P. )-The
College of Arts and Sciences
faculty at Oberlin College
recently adopted a two-option
grading system that will permit
students to choose letter grades
or simply a "Credit" entry for
their work, and will do away with
recording any grades below
C-minus.

The action was recommended
by a faculty-student committee
formed more than a year ago to
study ways of improving methods
of evaluating a student's course
work. During that time a
one-semester experiment with a
Credit/No Entry option was
tried.

The two-option system in the
College of Arts and Sciences will
operate through 1971-72. The
Academic Standing Committee
will continue to have jurisdiction
over minimum requirements for
good standing.

By the spring of 1972, the
division is likely to have
recommendations on future
grading and evaluation
procedures from an Educational
Commission, which is now being
formed to reexamine the goals
and content of Oberlirfs
educational program.

The full recommendation of
the Committee to Study Grading
and Evaluation consisted of these
five points: 1. Drop D's and F's
as permanently recorded grades.
2. Institute a Credit/No Entry
option as follows: Any student
may, for any semester, elect to
take all his courses on a
Credit/No Entry basis. Credit will
be considered equivalent to C- or
better. However, any faculty
member may, at his option, offer

a course entirely on a Credit/No

19 7 1, drop the present
S a t isfactory/ Unsatisfactory
option from the grading system.
4. Maintain, as the alternative
grading option, the traditional
grading system, including +'s and
-'s but excluding D's and F's ?s
recorded grades (that is, A+ to
C-/No Entry). 5. Except as
indicated in point 3 above, the
changes will operate through the
academic year 1971-72. The
faculty also requests the
Educational Commission to bring
recommendations by the Spring
of 1972 concerning future
directions in grading and
evaluation procedures.

The Satisfactory--
Unsatisfactory option has been in
effect since 1966-67. Students
could select one course each
semester on an ungraded basis.
They could not exercise the
option in their major department
during their junior and senior
years, however.

More than 450 of the

members responded to questions
about policies on hiring,
promotion, women's
participation in various positions,
maternity, and nepotism.

More than 90 per cent of the
institutions questioned indicated
that their policy was to include

women in top-level administrative
positions. The survey also found,
however, that women are
generally at the middle-
-management level or in
stereotypically female jobs, such
as deans of nursing.

In administration, jobs for
women involve skills and
attention to detail, not
policy-making or influence, the
association said.

Women in administration are
most likely to be head librarians,
directors of placement, or
directors of financial aid, the
AAUW said, and least likely to be
presidents, vice-presidents, or
directors of development.

Forty-seven per cent of the

at large and public institutions,

Voice In Hiring

Some departments are in the process of interviewing applicants for
faculty positions open next year.

Last year a few departments adopted the policy of having these
applicants meet on an informal basis with students majoring in
that field. Students were thus given a voice in choosing future
professors in their major area.

We urge all departments to confer with their student major regarding
not only an evaluation of courses offered, but including as well an
opportunity to have a say in the hiring of professors with whom as
majors they will be working closely.

Students should approach their departmental chairman on this
matter. Such a policy is advantageous to each side. The
Administration and faculty will not have to take such responsibility
in hiring only to suffer the mortification that most of the majors
strongly dislike the new prof and students can be better assured that
they will be getting a lively, stimulating professor as well as one with
good credentials.

Deficiency In
Vocational Office

The deficiency in the placement office at Agnes Scott has been and
is a topic of concern, particularly among panicky seniors. The
problem was noted specifically by a Mortar Board survey of last
year's graduating class and was brought to the attention of t e
Administration. Dissatisfaction was expressed to the Vocational
Office. These problems and procedures were further raised in the
PROFILE early last quarter. Thus far the problem has been referred
to a committee but no apparent improvement is evident. One
committee member said that they were not doing much because they
hud no idea of what to do.

It is unfortunate that students educated at Agnes Scott for four
years (and at no little expense) only attract recruiters looking : for
U Kl.e s and camp leaders. No wonder 1/3 of each graduating class
SertaL a teaching certificate-few other jobs are brough to our
attention-and please, we can refer to the yellow page s ouraeWes! We
realize of course the existing job shortage. The ^t.onal Placemen
Organization reports that "...the well qualified candidates will
continue to be sought although the choice ava.lable to them may be
more limited."

Where the problem concerning vocational placement lies must be
discovered and met whether it be the need for additional personnel, a
change in personnel, or an examination of the nature of the college
and its courses.

Ideally the liberal arts college is not the place for job training This
concept was functional in the past but today it may be questioned.
More and more women desire or find it necessary to enter the labor
force (it only to pay for a loan financing college) and to use their
minds in capacities other than home-making and church socials.
These other positions often require skills which have formerly not
been included in the traditional liberal arts program.

II the problem should be found to lie with the product of Agnes
Scott, we do not feel that an addition of opportunities in learning
business or professional skills can impinge upon our intellectual
development; rather it might afford us more diversified opportunities
in which to use our minds upon graduation.

Meanwhile, we suggest that the results of the Mortar Board survey
be noted and changes be made accordingly Perhaps the committee
working in this area needs professional help. It is our hope that the
college and students do not let this deficiency slide.

Antiwar Conference Feb. 19-21

The recent allied incursion into
Laos has caused much
disturbance amongcertain
factions. Students have
responded to the invasion of Laos
by posing an antiwar
demonstration in Washington
next week.

Last year over 4,000 antiwar
activists from hundreds of
colleges and high schools i in
every section of the country met
in Cleveland, Ohio and planned
massive demonstrations in over
20 major cities throughout the
United States. Hundreds of
thousands of Americans opposed
to the war Southeast Asia
participated in these
demonstrations. Although we
were able to force the Nixon
Administration to pull back
temporarily, it was not too long
before he invaded Cambodia, and
re-escalated the war in Vietnam,
calling his aggression "protective
reaction".

On February 19, thousands of
activists will assemble in
Washington at a National Student
Antiwar Conference which will
be held at Catholic University.
The delegates from around the
country will plan a "spring
offensive against the war" -an
offensive that will involve
millions of Americans in direct
opposition to the policies of the

Nixon "regime".

The conference will serve
notice to Nixon that the antiwar
movement is very much alive -
and bigger than ever! Our spring
offensive will be larger and
broader than ever before.
Preparations for the conference
include various workshops, which
will discuss campus complicity
with the war, the draft and
constitutional rights for GIs and
High School students, among
others. Everyone who attends the
conference will be able to
participate in the discussion and
motivate his or her proposal for
the SMC. All are invited to attend
the conference and housing and
workshop ro m will be
provided for all.

Student Mobilization
Committee to End the War in
Vietnam is the largest national
student organization in the
United States opposed to the
war in Indochina.

The following is a schedule of
antiwar events which have been
projected for the spring.

(1) April 2, 3, 4. Local
meetings, rallies, moratoria
commemorating Martin Luther
King as a peace activist and a
fighter for human rights, which
can bring antiwar groups and
Black community organizations
together for common action.

(2) April 24. Peaceful, legal
mass march and rally in
Washington D. C. and San
Francisco, calling for the total
and immediate withdrawl of all
U.S. troops from Southeast Asia.
Broad based actions aimed at
reaching out and mobilizing
significant forces from the labor
movement, GIs, women's
organizations, Black and Chicano
groups, religious groups, etc., into
a common massive display of
militant antiwar unity.

(3) May 5. Local rallies and
demonstrations on the first
"anniversary" of the murder of

students at Kent State and
Jackson State during the mass
upsurge against the invasion of
Cambodia in 1970. Focus for
campus activity and
demonstrations against repressive
moves on the campus against the
student movement.

(4) May 16. Demonstrations,
picnics, etc., at military bases on
Armed Forces Day, to show
solidarity between the antiwar
movement and the troops:
American GIs forced into the
army against their will and
compelled to participate in the
Southeast Asian war even more
against their will. Focus for
solidarity between the civilian
and GI antiwar movements.

Strain And Stress

In a survey of 25 students
taken last week, Agnes Scott
students, like students at most
other schools, generally agreed
that they felt "an unusual
amount of tension' 1 on this
campus. Twenty-two of the
twenty- five girls questioned,
blamed most of the tension on
academic pressures.

Some of the girls complained
that professors expect too much
from the student. Assuming that
high schools have done more to
prepare students for college than
has actually been done,

-About Mrs. Alston-;

One junior also noted that "an
understanding must be made
between professor and student so
that the professor knows what
by CATHY PIDGEON the student values." When a

is a great woman/' The
powerhouse behind Dr. Alston is
his wife. Mrs. Alston's interests
stem from her family and her
home.

Mrs. Alston, a minister's
daughter, came from Clearwater,
Florida to Agnes Scott for her
freshman year of college. She
later transferred to the Atlanta
Conservatory of Music where she
studied piano.

While in Atlanta, she met Dr.
Alston; and after a rather lengthy
courtship, the minister's daughter
became a minister's wife.

Having been a president's wife
for twenty years, Mrs. Alston has
many responsibilities. Her main
responsibility is that of
entertaining and acting as hostess.
She said she likes to have all the
students into her home in some
fashion or another. Also, she
entertains the visiting lecturers
and guests who stay on campus.

Mrs. Alston accompanies Dr.
Alston to the small college
conferences where the wives of
the presidents are urged to
attend. Being very much
interested in the life of the
college, she attends as many of
the lectures and campus activities
as possible. Her only regret is that
she cannot know everyone on
campus.

Mrs. Alston has many interests,
some of which are music and
antiques. She feels sorry for those
who claim they are bored because
they have no inner resources to
develop.

She plays the piano and the
organ and is a member of the
alumnae chapter of the Mu Phi

Another area of academic stress
is the "struggle to keep up" with
assignments. The problem here,
according to the girls questioned,
stems from a heavy work load. A
popular comment was, "The
professor thinks his class is the
only one we have!" Freshmen
and sophomores especially
"groaned" about the pressure of
daily work alone. Upperclassmen
apparently escape this to a great
degree.

One group of freshmen called
for a "quarter load on a quarter
. x system." A few students
Alston stressed her belief advocated switching to the

"Emory system," in which
students use all of Wednesday as
they please.

Many students made comments
to the effect of "Why must all
the tests fall during the same
week? The girls felt that the
high pressure of "running from
one exam to the next to the
next...," until fatigue apathy,

jigsaw puzzles, and attending all
types of sports activities-as a
spectator.

Despite her many activities, she
leaves plenty of time to spend
with her grandchildren. The
Alstons have two children of
their own. Their married
daughter has a baby girl and is

Scouts. Their son is a minister in

frustration and a few failures
occur, caused almost unbearable
tension.

Although academic pressure
seems to dominate, other
pressures are also felt. One
student noticed tension between
students and administration over
student freedoms and
responsibilities, which she felt
could be useful "if it were
diversified through the entire
student body-too many people
are just plain apathetic."

Social pressure is also evident,
but most students felt that it is
not strong. As one upperclassman
said, "The idea is, if you don't
have a date at least once a month,
then there's something wrong.
Otherwise, there's no real
pressure." A freshman differed
with this opinion, however-"A
girl's school puts boys on a
pedestal. This creates tensions;
it's just not a natural situation."

Tension bothers students-what
do students do about it? Many

Scott i^es, especially
upperclassmen, emphasized that
only the individual can alleviate
her own tension. The students
questioned gave their personal
"formulas" for relaxing. These
methods ranged from sleeping
and " 'rapping' when I should be
studying" to bridge, "banging on
me piano," swimming, yoga, and
smoking (tobacco and
marijuana). One sophomore had
an especially effective remedy~"I
scream a lot."

For those who do feel
oppressed by tension, take
consolation in this statement
from George Stevenson, M.D.,
who has intensively studied the
problem of tension in modern
living. Printed in the February
26, 1968 issue of U.S. News and
World Report, the comment was:

"The people who are most
likely to suffer from.. .tension are
the very sensitive, the very
intelligent, the really worthwhile
people in the world who do
things that make our civilization
better. "

Atlanta Lawyer Heads Davis' Defense

CPS Interviews Moore

Angela Davis is charged with
murder, kidnapping and
conspiracy for her alleged part in
the Marin Civic Center shootout
in which a judge, two convicts
and an accomplice were killed.
She is presently awaiting trial at
the Marin County Courthouse in
San Rafael, Calif. Angela Davis
was formerly a philosophy
instructor at UCLA and is an
avowed Communist.

A defense team of five lawyers
headed by Atlanta lawyer
Howard Moore, are representing
her. Moore is considered a leader
in the black liberation struggle
and has represented SNCC draft
resisters, Julian Bond, Stokely
Carmichael and H. Rap Brown.
CPS: What is being done to
involve people in Angela Davis'
defense?

MOORE: Defense committees
are being set up around the
country to educate people, and
her family is speaking throughout
the country. Black people are
already concerned. This is just
another episode in the repression
of black people. There is literally
no difference between whut
happened to Julian Bond.
Stokley Carmichael, and H. Rao
Brown, and what has happened
to Angela Davis. They all share
one common thing: they took a
stand on questions of national
importance.

CPS: How long do you think the
trial will last?

MOORE: Well, the pretrial
proceedings should take at least
lour to five months. The trial
itself could take anywhere from
two days to six months.
CPS: The indictment itself
doesn't say much about what she
is supposed to have done, does
it?

MOORE: Well, you don't have
to say she did much in

California. The conspiracy
indictment is a capital crime in
itself and can be satisfied by
showing sufficiently "significant
eireu instances. " In California a
jury can say that these facts if
proved show her guilt of
conspiracy. In respect to the
other charges, they are based
upon the California law of
principals which simply says "all
persons concerned in the
commission of a crime" are as
guilty as if they actually did the
act. How does one evidence his
concern in the commission of a
crime.?

cps: Will you be allowed to see

motion is successful. I imagine
that will be the end of it. It's sort
of a ticklish thing because the test
is whether there's a reasonable
suspicion of guilt. A reasonable
suspicion however is not
conjecture. surmise. or
speculation, but is based on
reason.

CPS: What's in those minutes'
MOORE: The minutes are still
sealed (meaning their contents
can't be revealed to the public).
There's a protective order on
those minutes that doesn't expire
until the middle of January at
least. You see one of the
defendants. Ruchelle Magee, still

committees will be done.
Although the study will then be
open to the entire faculty, the
Steering Committee will take the
work of the individual

them to the entire faculty and
the academic council.

From this work, nothing will
probably be changed by next fall.
If the school should go over to
another system because of these
recommendations such a move
necessitate considerable work on
the part of the faculty-courses

don't decide ths quest ion.

CPS: What do you think will be
necessary to get her a fair trial,
or is that possible*.*
MOORE: I would tend to think,
as she thinks, that it is very
doubtful she can get a fair trial.
Howexer, we have got to look
forward to getting a trial, and
trying to get a fair trial. Without
a fair trial it is just like a firing
squad. Through some miracle
maybe we can get twelve people
who have common decency and
some sense of justice, who will
take the jurors oath seriously and
find her not guilty.

overwhelming amount of
publicity that has gone out a lot
of it unfavorable. And then
l here's ihe fael that she's black.
Anytime a black person goes to
trial, the likelihood of a fair trial
is far less than for a white
person. Then she's a Communist,
and Communists don't fare too
well. You put being black and
being a Communist together and
you have one hell of a pickle.

Women's Studies-

55 Campuses Offer

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
Like the civil rights and black
power movements before it, the
women's liberation movement
has brought demands for new
courses on a number of
campuses. According to one
estimate, 55 colleges and
universities are now offering one
or more courses that can be
classified as "women's studies."

The call for women's studies
has grown out of a feeling on the
part of many women faculty
members and students that
women are being largely ignored
by most of academic disciplines
and that too much of the study
of women is being done by men.

Natalie Davis, professor of
history at the University of
Toronto, says that only she and
two other historians, one of them
a man, are currently studying the
history of women.

"I've been trying to do some
research on sexual attitudes of
women and all I get from my
male colleages is a tee-hee or a
ho-ho, depending on how many
are in the room," says Judith
Long Laws, assistant professor of
social psychology at the
University of Chicago.

Like black studies, women's
studies programs have faced
severe problems in getting
approval from faculty members
and administrators, and in getting
the funds and faculty positions
needed to get started.

One of the first women's
studies courses in other than a
Free University setting was
started at Cornell University.
Entitled "Evolution of Female
Personality," it grew out of a
conference on women at Cornell
and a faculty seminar on female
studies. The course was
interdisciplinary, with several
faculty members serving as
lecturers, and it covered such
areas as women in history, the
current status of women, the

image of women, and prospects
for change.

San Diego State College had
the first full-fledged women's
studies program. Its organizers
hope that eventually it will
develop into a women's studies
center, including course offerings,
research, a child-care facility, and
a community center.

The program was first proposed
by a women's liberation group at
San Diego State. It had developed
plans for the full women's center,
but women in the courses felt
that the program was being
structured too much in advance.
It now consists only of courses
and periodic meetings to plan
research and other activities for
the center.

The men in the program, 20
percent of the enrollment, are
operating a child-care center so
the women can attend the
meetings.

Some of the program's
difficulties in getting funds and
staff have been the result of a
tight financial situation in the

California colleges, but the
women also say they have
encountered considerable faculty
and administration resistance.

"Many faculty members take it
as a joke," says Roberta Salper,
the visiting professor in the
program. "They make comments
like: This is absurd. Women
come to college to get husbands
and we all know that.' "

Women's colleges are facing
special pressure to add women's
studies courses.

"Women's colleges can only
justify their continued existence
by having female studies," says
Patricia Graham of Barnard.
"I emale colleges that want to be
academically respectable have
aped the men's universities.
Others have aped finishing
schools, trying to produce what
they think men want."

A number of women's colleges
are already offering women's
studies courses, including
Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Douglass,
Goucher, and Radcliff Colleges
and the College of St. Catherine
in Minnesota.

Student Government
committees are appointed each
spring by the president and
vice-president of Student
Government.

Usually about a week after
Student Government elections,
lists are posted indicating the
committees that will function
during the next school year.
Interested people are supposed to
petition for positions on these
committees.

The president and
vice-president of Student
Government appoint not only the
members of the committees, but
also the chairmen. "However
none of these appointments are
limited strictly to petition,"
stated Carolyn Cox, president of
student government.

Carolyn then added that she
and Margaret Taylor,
vice-president of student
government, interviewed the
people they did not know who
had petitioned for committees.
Cox added, "We tried in every
way to get to know the people.
Those we didn't know were at a
disadvantage, so we interviewed
them and tried to get to know
them. We also tried to use as
many rising sophomores as
possible."

Although there have been
various ad hoc committees
appointed throughout the year,
there are eleven standing Student
Government committees as listed
on page 42 of the handbook.
Each year these committees are
subject to change, i.e., new ones
can be added and old ones can be
deleted.

The answer was negative when
Cox was asked if grades were a
criteria for being appointed to a
committee.

"The Boor", by Anton
Chekhov, is a farcical and
unconventional love story of a
recent widow and the "Boor"
who comes to collect the money
owed him. Elizabeth Jones,
directing for the first time, finds
this play a challenge. "It's hard

However, out of nine students
serving on the Committee on
Academic Problems (better
known as CAP) all nine are on
either the Honor Roll or Merit
List.

According to Louise Hardy,
chairman of CAP, "This
committee was originally
founded in 1966 to discuss
academic problems between
faculty and students on a more
formal basis."

Sharon Jones, a member of
CAP, was asked the question:
"Since all members of CAP are
on the Honor Roll or Merit List,
do you sometimes feel that this
committee can't really identify
with the academic problems?

Sharon did admit that at times
it was hard to put herself in the
shoes of people with real
academic problems, but after
talking with those who do have
academic troubles, "one can
become very sensitive."

However, because of their
stable academic positions, Sharon
said that the committee as a
whole "feels a very strong
obligation to keep the academic
standards high"

Both Louise and Sharon
emphasized the fact that CAP
meetings are open to any student
who wishes to bring something to
their attention.

There are other faculty
committees not connected with
Student Government on which
students do serve. Questions have
been raised as to whether
students should have a voice in
electing their own representatives
to these committees. However,
both the faculty and students on
these committees are appointed
by the faculty Steering
Committee.

"Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme," by Moliere will be presented by "Le

Treteau de Paris" Monday, February 22, at 8: 15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are those

They do not necessarily represent the opinion of the administration
or the student body. Entered as second class mail at the Decatur, Ga.
Post Office.

Too Small?

We are frequently told that one of the nicest aspects of Agnes Scott
is its size. A small college, it is said, allows a closer relationship not
only between students, but between students and faculty in the
classroom or otherwise. Small classes allow more interaction between
members and an emphasis on meeting the needs of the individual.
The college claims that because of the small student body, they are
better able to meet the needs of each individual student.

A closer examination of the "advantages" of a small and

"tightly knit" community is in order. It seems possible that the
smallness of the college may impede open discussion and interaction
rather than facilitate it because students fear they will not be liked
if their opinions differ too radically or too often with those of their
peers. Because we are small, anyone who diverges from the norm
sticks out, whereas a larger school provides a degree of anonymity for
the nonconformist. This "sticking out" at a small college may create
pressure (official or unofficial) on the individual to conform.

Likewise the smallness of classes may be a disadvantage. If you
know your profs opinion and disagree with it how willing are you to
disagree with him openly in class or especially on a test? Do you fear
for your grade? Perhaps this explains senior advice to freshmen, "find
out what she wants." Perhaps the difference between "A" and "C"
students is that the "A" students are better analysts! Let us hope not.

When class is over how much interaction is there between students
and faculty? And how much of this interaction is genuine and
mature?

Concerning the point that because the college is small it is better
able to meet the needs of the individual student, it is possible that the
very fact that the college is small means that it cannot hope to meet
the needs of the individual. This most obviously is evident in the
matter of offering a variety of subjects.

A small college cannot afford to offer all of the courses that a large
university offers. The smaller college can alleviate this handicap by
fostering relations with larger colleges nearby. However, a student
wishing to take a course at Emory University must pay $50 per
quarter hour, which means $250 for a five hour course. This expense
is not deducted from tuition at Agnes Scott. Why? So many students
would be going over to take courses at Emory that Agnes Scott
would lose money.

Perhaps being small in size is not such an asset. Those groups
studying the future of the college will hopefully consider the benefits
which could be gained by becoming a larger institution.

Maybe the reason for our "homogenity" and "lack of diversity" is
not only due to the small number accepted and the type of students
attracted. Perhaps a few rebels and nonconformists do find their way
within the bounds of Agnes Scott, but once here they succumb to the
pressure to conform and find it easier to adjust to the "Agnes Scott
image."

-Focus-

President Nixon sent a $229. 2
billion budget with a built-in
$11.6 billion deficit to Congress.
He said the budget would
produce prosperity "without war
and without runaway inflation".
In the new budget Nixon
emphasizes his revenue sharing
program, bigger defense spending,
improved law enforcement, curbs
on pollution and his controversial
welfare reform system that would
put a floor under the income of
every family.

f

Letters

To the Editor:

Like many other small liberal
arts colleges, Agnes Scott is
facing the problem of decreasing
enrollments. High tuition costs
and limited diversity of course
offerings compared to competing
public institutions are
contributing causes of this
decrease. Two suggestions for
improving the enrollment figures
are that a 3 year B.A. degree
program be developed and that
students be actively encouraged
to take some courses at
neighboring institutions such as
Emory and Georgia State.

If students were encouraged to
graduate in less than four years
and this possibility were
advertised, more students would
be interested in coming to Agnes
Scott and staying because of
saving of time and money. The
net gain in enrollment could
conceivably more than cancel out
the reduced tuition fees received
from each student.

Three suggestions for
accelerating the B.A. program are
1. to allow students to get college
credits for courses they have not
taken, if they can pass
proficiency exams; 2. to expand
the summer study abroad
programs, so that more students
can get credits during the
summer; 3. to go to a 4 day
week, 3 five hour course
program, so that stress will be
reduced and some students will
be able to take overloads.

If the college arranged for a bus
service to run to and from Emory
and/or Ga. State and if the cost
of taking courses at Emory were
subsidized by the college,
students could have much greater
diversity in their educational
experience. Also, students
wishing to take courses of a
practical or vocational nature,
could avail themselves of Ga.
State's resources in these areas.
Further, as a result of this busing
program, Agnes Scott could
slowly stop offering courses
having fewer than 5 students, and
thus it could make more efficient
use of its faculty. A model for
the busing program is Goucher's
bus service to and from Johns
Hopkins University.

Committees interested in the
above suggestions could
conceivably consider them now
so that the college would be
ready to make proposals to
corporations and/or foundations
for funds when the opportunity
arises.

Philip B. Reinhart
Asst. Professor of
Physics

To the Editor:

I have been instructed by the
Agnes Scott chapter of the
American Association of
University Professors to write a
letter concerning the article on
one of our "ad hoc" committees
which appeared in The Profile for
February fifth. The article fails to
mention that the chapter voted
only to receive the report as
information. This action implies
neither approval nor disapproval
of the recommendations and
other details of the report.

It is only after all the reports of
the "ad hoc" committees have
been severally presented to the
chapter and then integrated into
a larger report by the Academic
Affairs committee will the
chapter undertake the business of
approving specific
recommendations. It should be
clear then that until that time the
reports of the various committees
do not reflect the considered
judgment of the whole chapter,
though they do represent careful
and diligent work on the part of
the committees.

Leading Democrats are
convinced that Nixon is
vulnerable in 1972 and are
gearing themselves for the race.
The polls indicate Senator
Edmund Muskie commands an
"obvious big lead." Senator
Edward Kennedy must cope with
his defeat as Senate majority
whip and the Chappaquiddick
incident if his prospects are to
improve. Announced candidate
George McGovern's chances
appear slight. Senator Birch
Bayh, former Attorney General
Ramsey Clark, and Senator
Harold Hughes are still largely
unknown and unimportant in the
present polls. A Democratic
victory in 1972 seems quite
possible especially if the
economic situation does not
improve and our withdrawal from
Vietnam slackens.

Senator David Gambrell,
Governor's Carter's choice to fill
the seat vacated by the late
Senator Richard Russell, has
received national press coverage.
Reporters are quick to point out
that Gambrell is "unmistakenly
liberal by Georgia Standards." A
graduate of Davidson College and
Harvard Law School, Gambrell
has served as the State
Democratic Party Chairman. In
his inaugural address Carter
promised that Georgia would
move into a new era. The
appointment of Senator Gambrell
is a clear signal of that era.

Agnes Scott has a close tie with
the Gambrell family. Mr. E.
Smythe Gambrell, the Senator's
father, has established a
scholarship for Agnes Scott
students in memory of his wife
Kathleen Hagood Gambrell.

The flight of Apollo 14 was a
resounding success despite the
rash of troubles that plagued its
outward journey. Astronauts
Mitchell and Shepard collected
97 pounds of moon material and
executed a climb almost to the
top of the 400 foot high Cone
Crater.

The Food and Drug
Administration has declared the
"tuna scare" over. Reports show
the mercury content in canned
tuna is considerably less than had
been anticipated. However, the
FDA announced that 87% of the
swordfish samples analyzed
contained excess amounts of
mercury.

The United States, Britain and
Soviet Union have signed a treaty
banning nuclear weapons from
the world's seabeds.

Vice President Spiro Agnew has
done it again. At the Bob Hope
Desert Classic Golf Tournament,
he hit three spectators with an
errant drive. Last year the Vice
President hit golf pro Doug

Rev. Cato-

Agnes Scott Unfriendly?

Lynn Lassiter-No
Radical But Active

Much has been said about the
lack of political awareness at
Scott. But did you know that we
have in our student body the
chairman of the state Republican
Booster's Club and the secretary
of the Atlanta Campus Club?
And they are the same person.

Lynn Lassiter has been actively
involved in politics since her high
school years, when she
campaigned for Nixon's
presidential bid in Richmond,
Virginia. Since then, she has been
involved in such activities as the
Republican State Convention and
the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta.

In her own state she aided
Senator Byrd's election to
Congress by encouraging
Republicans not to nominate a
candidate and to vote for Byrd,
an independent. This summer
with the Young Americans for
Freedom she visited the home of
noted conservative William F.
Buckley, Jr., and also met such
figures as Barry Goldwater,
Strom Thurmond, and Al Capp.

At present, Lynn serves as
college representative to the state
board of Young Republicans of

the Fourth District, comprised ot
Emory, Oglethorpe, Agnes Scott,
and DeKalb College. She is
chairman of the Booster's Club
made up of state Republicans
who donate $10 to $50. Lynn
holds the position of Secretary
for the Atlanta Campus Club,
including Georgia Tech, Massey,
Emory, and Scott. Each school
also has its own group, and one
of Lynn's current projects is to
strengthen the YR at DeKalb and
Agnes Scott.

Concerning political awareness
at Agnes Scott, Lynn
commented, "It is difficult on
the Agnes Scott campus to find
girls who have any type of
knowledge at all about current
issues, either in their own states
or nationally."

In her work with people in
Atlanta, Lynn feels that most
view Agnes Scott as a "textbook
school," they view the girls as
smart, but as seeming to have
little practical understanding of
community affairs and issues.

The Reverend Phillip Cato,
who is presently Episcopal
Chaplain to Georgia Tech and
Agnes Scott, as well as assistant
rector at All Saints' Episcopal
Church, has been visiting the
Agnes Scott campus weekly for
the past three years. In the past,
Mr. Cato has been involved with
the life of a number of college
campuses, in teaching as well as
advisory and student capacities.

After receiving his A.B. from
Duke University in 1956 and his
S.T.B. degree from The Episcopal
Thological School, Cambridge,
Massachusetts, in 1959, Mr. Cato
studied as a graduate student in
historical theology at Duke and
the University of the South, in
addition to holding a number of
clerical positions. He has recently
completed his course work and
preliminary examinations for a
Ph. D. in 19th-century
intellectual history at Emory.

During his three years' work at
Agnes Scott, Mr. Cato has made a
number of observations. "I have

by ELLEN WILLINGHAM

been a little troubled at the
almost incessant conversation at
Agnes Scott about what an
excellent institution it is. I am
aware it is a good school, and so
are a lot of other people.. .but a
person that is really good,
whether in academics or athletics,
does not need to tell anyone."

Mr. Cato goes on to say: "I've
been struck that the very heavy
assignments that are given in
classes are not always conducive
to the development of the whole
person. I feel very strongly that a
person at any level of education
needs time to think and play... I
never get the feeling that people
at Agnes Scott are having some
kind of fun, but are rather
engaged in some form of
drudgery."

"After three years at Agnes
Scott, I feel pretty much like an
outsider," Mr. Cato adds. "It's a
tight community. ..my fellow
chaplains have ventured in and
subsequently retreated. I have a
very strong impression that Agnes
Scott is not onlv unfriendly but

by noon on February 26 leading government officials,
Everyone is invited to attend tht corporate executives, faculty
session. members, administrators, and

students, as well as the general
public, to discuss how technology
may be used responsibly and
constructively, in relation to our
environment.

By involving industry,
government, education, student
and civic leaders on each panel,
the committee hopes to bring
together those elements of
society which sometimes have
been formally opposed.

"The committee sincerely
believes that by creating a
positive atmosphere in bringing
these national leaders together
that something positive will come
from this conference - that we
can and will open up new avenues
of approach in solving our
environmental problems."

There seems to be some
confusion as to the approach that
Campus Crusaders take in
presenting the gospel. Bob
Rountree, representative for
Georgia Tech, explained that
some criticism should be
expected. Static is evidence that
something is being accomplished,
that the Crusaders are getting
around. This is "nothing new and
shocking," said Bob.

Bob explained that there are
two ways of looking at Christian
evangelism. Some take a negative
attitude, that of someone being
cornered and having the gospel
packed into his head. Others can
regard Christian evangelism as an
act performed with love taking
the initiative to offer Christ at
their consent.

Roberta Jones, Dean of
Students, told the PROFILE that
President of the College Wallace
Alston, has indicated to her that
this organization has been on
campus for at least five years.

When asked if the members of
Campus Crusade have specific
permission to enter the dorms
and go from room to room, Dean
Jones answered "No, they
don't." She stated that a usual
practice has been for them to call
a student and ask permission to
come and talk with her. The
student could then say yes or no.

very hostile to outsiders. A great
deal could be done to make it a
more human community."

Concerning his capacity as a
counselor at Agnes Scott, Mr.
Cato comments: that his role is
not a denominational one: "I am
quite sure that I am seen by some
people as the Episcopal chaplain
at Agnes Scott... this is not the
way I see myself. College
chaplains are put there to
administer to the whole
community.. .If a person wants to
talk something over with me, and
I can be helpful, then that's what
I want to do. I just don't see
myself as representing anv
narrow denominational interest."

"I have known many bright
and very likable people at Agnes
Scott, but it unfortunately has
not escaped my attention that
people have left after a year or
two," Mr. Cato continues. "In
each case, I have tried to talk a
person out of leaving because I
felt the school would be a very
much better community if they
stayed."

The people who come to talk
to Mr. Cato range from those
with happy topics, such as
wanting premarital or
confirmation instruction, to the
less happy, such as pregnancy or
being generally miserable. "I see a
lot of people who also see the
dean and Dr. Phrydas," he adds.

In conclusion, Mr. Cato points
out one last observation: "One of
the things I represent on that
campus is a more Catholic and
liturgical tradition of the
church... I am personally
chagrined at the recent
resurgence of revivalistic
fundamentalist religion on
campuses, because I do not think
of that as being representative of
the Christian tradition. It has
performed a reductionism on
Christianity which distorts it
beyond recognition. There is, I
would contend, nothing in that
kind of tradition which would
enable anyone to understand
scriptures with any intelligence,
to interpret one's place in
western history, or to deal with
any kind of difficult moral
problem. The kind of revivalistic
stuff going on on campuses- now
is geared toward one age
group.. .it has all the profundity
of a circus."

Vet the college does not want the
students' privacy violated either
byCampus Crusade, by people
from other Churches in the area,
or by saleswomen.

Major Trends

There is some discussion going
on about the type of courses
offered at Agnes Scott and
whether or not these courses are
in keeping with student interests
and needs.

In view of some question as to
courses offered and the
distribution of courses, the
number of courses offered in
each department and the number
of professors in each department
have been counted and compared
with the number of students
majoring in each department. It
seemed possible that perhaps too
many courses and professors were
available in a department which
attracted few majors, while
departments with relatively few
course offerings and professors
had a large group of majors.

As noted in the table the
departments attracting the most
students are English with 50
majors, followed closely by
Psychology with 44 majors. The
departments attracting the least
majors are Bible and Religion and
Physics and Astronomy, each of
which has one major.

The English department, in
keeping with its large number of
majors, has 10 professors and 30
courses, by far larger than any
other department. The
Psychology department, however,
with only six less majors than the
English Department, has only
three professors and offers only
1 5 courses. The Bible and
Religion department with only
one major has 17 courses and
three professors. It should be
noted that the English and Bible
departments contain courses
required for the Agnes Scott
degree which may be one
intervening factor concerning the
large English department and the
relatively large size of the Bible
department in view of the majors
attracted. However one required
Bible course hardly accounts for
the discrepancy.

The department of Classical

languages and literature also
seems to offer an excess of
courses in view of the number of
majors. In general, however, there
does seem to be a good
distribution.

Unfortunately the college
cannot change its course offerings
each year to meet the needs of
the changing turnover in student
majors attracted to the various
departments. Related areas and
popular electives must also be
taken into account and it is
possible that there is consistent
interest in an area though there
are few majors.

The second table illustrates the
changes in choice of majors
during the years 1964, 1966,
1968 and 1971. Unlike the first
table this includes only the
majors of graduating seniors as
these were the only figures
available. They were obtained
from Anne Stapleton, Recorder.

As evidenced in the table the
number of majors for each
department varies during the
designated years. Some specific
observations can be made,
however. Keeping the size of each
class in mind, the English
department has always attracted
a sizeable portion of majors while
majors in the classical languages
and literature, German, and
physics and astronomy have
remained low. There is seemingly
a decreasing number of Bible
majors and an increasing number
of history and psychology
majors. The short span of the
years presented in this table is
hardly enough to be able to judge
any major trends but it is
interesting to note that some
departments consistently attract
more majors than do other
departments.

A more thorough analysis of
where student interest lies would

require a study of actual
enrollment in each of the classes
offered over a certain time span.

As described by the play's
director and set designer, Mimi
Corson, ''Everyman" is an
anonymous medieval allegory.
"The pattern is the procedure
from recognition of sin to
salvation and grace; it follows one
allegorical character as he
acknowledges his sin on the
world, confesses, and is saved."
Mimi finds a challenge in
presenting this particular play to
a modern audience.

Mollie Pollitt, a graduate of
Agnes Scott, is directing "A
Sparrow That Falls", by Margaret
G. Trotter. The play is about a
quiet upheaval in the characters
who find love as the final answer.

Miss Margaret G. Trotter,
professor of English at Agnes
Scott, is the author of "A
Sparrow That Falls". She has
published several short stories
and some poetry, but "A
Sparrow That Falls" is her first
play to be performed. Miss
Trotter says the play is about
time. "Time isn't real to
people.... As time passes, things
change, but people don't feel
themselves change." Miss Trotter
feels that the characters "are not
a part of time,.. .and are apart
from people."

R.E. Week-

Insiruction From Above ?

The recent proposal made by Christian Association to secure
control over the activities of Religious Emphasis Week is an action
which we fully support. As a matter of fact it comes as a surprise to
us that Christian Association does not have the full responsibility for
R.E. Week.-President of the College Wallace Alston decides the
program and speaker.

The suggestions (see article) show promise of providing students
with a more meaningful and varied week.

C.A. Makes Proposal
To Change R.E. Week

Letters

To the Editor.

1 am writing in response to
your article "Students and
Committees," which appeared in
the February 19 issue of the
Profile.

The reporter was quite correct
in stating that academic
performance was not a factor in
the selection of student members
of standing committees
appointed by the President and
Vice-President of Student
Government. Although such a
creiterion never occured to us,
information on grades was no
more readily available to us than
it would have been to any other
students.

Specific reference was made in
the article to the academic
credentials of the student
members of the Committee on
Academic Problems. Since these
students were selected primarily
because of their ability to
articulate and to think rationally
and deliberately, there may be
some validity in the observation
that they possess superior
capabilities. The article stated
erroneously, however, that
"...out of nine students serving
on the Committee of Academic
Problems all nine are on either
Honor Roll or Merit List." The
Merit List was discontinued after
the 1968-69 session, and only
four of the nine student members
of CAP earned Honor Roll
distinction for the 1969-70

We urge Dr. Alston to approve this proposal and hope that " next
year's Christian Association will implement some of proposed
suggestions.

From The Editor

At this point the Editor would like to publicly thank certain
members of the PROFILE staff for their help in publishing the
PROFILE. I would especially like to thank Carole Kroc, feature
editor, and Priscialla Offen, copy editor, for the tremendous amount
of work they have undertaken. They not only contributed various
articles, but also hazarded weekly Wednesday evenings at the printers
with an often grouchy editor. Just as important is their enthusiastic
attitude towards the need for a campus newspaper.

I would also like to thank Fine Arts Editor Ellen Willingham for
taking responsibility in ascertaining movie reviews and news items in
this area. Freshmen staff members proved helpful and refreshing and
weryon the whole more dependabln than members of the upper
classes. Marianne Bradley, Jan Fredrickson and Ann McMillan have
proved good additions to the staff.

Business Manager Debbie Jordan, Associate Editor Ginger Rollins
and Circulation Manager Fran Ellington also deserve compliments.

I would also like to thank Susan Propst, Dea Taylor, Cathy
Pidgeon, Cindy Harvey and Julianna Winters, for their written
contributions and Candy Colando, who has taken over as
photographer this year. Candy has also been transporting PROFILES
from the printer's to the Agnes Scott mailroom which has been a
great help to an editor without a car. Thank you other friends for
rides.

The Soapbox Special

Editor's note This appeared in the February 26th issue of the Salem
College newspaper, The SALE MITE. 1 thought it was a great idea
and have reprinted it for your benefit'

Rather than filling this corner with more type, this week the Editor
invites you to get on your own soapbox! If you really get inspired,
you can fill in the blank and give it to a member of the staff. We
would be interested to see YOUR editorial opinions!

P.S. We'll print the best ones!

the diversity and challenge this campus needs if a Religious Emphasis Merit List
Week is to be what its name implies. We have received suggestions
such as these from Agnes Scott students:

1. A comparative Religious Emphasis Week drawing from he
resources of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Such an approach could
serve to strengthen ties with the larger community.

2. Choice of our own resource people.

3. An arts festival with a religious theme as a background for a
speaker and/or speakers.

4. A questionnaire to be circulated in the spring to acertain the
preferences of the student body.

5. Have the week include a variety of communication forms such as
art, music, and dramatic readings.

We recommend no set program fov we think flexibility is important
in meeting the needs of the students. We see the RE Week chairman Monday, March 29th, next quarter,
as an important C.A. member who would be co-ordinator of any
committees necessary to carry out C.A.'s plans for an effective
Religious Emphasis Week.

PROFILE

Agnes Scott's Security System -Kate Millet-

The total security guard at
Agnes Scott consists of six men
who are able to provide Agnes
Scott with full-time security
coverage. Mr. Mel I Jones is the
chief security officer.

One of the security officers,

Mr. Martin, works during the

day while the other five men

share the remaining hours.

Normally two guards are on duty

at a time durimz the night, but on
i .

busy evenings three men work
together.

The duties of these men chiefly
deal with the security of the
school. Every evening the guards
lock certain doors in each
dormitory and later secure the
principal buildings (Buttrick.
Campbell, and Dana for
example).

Each guard carries with him a
"walky-talky" radio. These
radios have proven to be
extremely useful in the guards'
work. Roberta Jones, dean of
students, gave the example that if
for instance there were a
"peeping Tom" on campus and a
senior resident was made aware
of this fact, all she would have to
do would be to call Main where
there is a security officer
stationed all night and talk to the
officer there. The guard in Main
who cannot himself work the
desk, would then call the
Decatur police and ask for unit
50 (Agnes Scott's security
guards). In this way he could

relate the message. According to
Dean Jonss. this system has
proven to be " an effective way of
getting help." There is a further

advantage , n the radios in that
the guards are able to radio the

Decatur police directly if the
need should ever arise.

The security officers perform
duties of service as well as duties
dealing with the maintenance of
security on campus. From 10:30
to 7:00 a.m. at least one guard is
at Main. These are the hours in
which the switchboard is closed
and the officer can accept any
incoming calls. Furthermore
Main is centrally located and

from here the guard can handle

the keys issued to students after
dorm closing hours. The guards
ere also equipped with jumper
cables and are thus able to help
students or their guests with
stalled cars.

During ths day students may
have noticed Mr. Martin issuing
parking tickets. These tickets are
to assure that people from town
won't park in Agnes Scott lots
taking up space reserved for
student and faculty cars. This
system is not meant so much for
punishment as simply to make
students register their cars.
Copies of the tickets issued are
given to Molly Merrick, who
heads ths car committee.

Rep Requests Study-

this is being considered is the

Philosophy Majors
Attend Conference

by ANNE McMILLAN

Four philosophy majors Concept of Noumena," a study of

attended the Southeastern
Undergraduate Philosophy
Conference at the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga on
February 19 and 20th. The
students, Louise Hardy, Tyler
McFadden, Marty Perkerson, and
Sherry Roberts, were
accompanied by Richard Parry,
assistant professor of philosophy.

Sherry Roberts presented a
paper entitled "The Problematic

Kant's philosophy. Each of the
eight colleges participating
selected a paper by one of its
students on this year'ssubject,
phenomenology, to be delivered
before this group, which included
approximately forth
undergraduates. The student was
given thirty minutes in which to
rea; his paper and thirty minutes
to answer questions and defend
the paper.

Vocational Office-
Not Hiring Service

by PRISCILLA OFFEN and GINGER ROLLINS

The Vocational Office is not
hiring service. Guiding students
to self-suitable jobs, and arranging
for interviews with company
recruiters comprise this office's
main tasks.

Mortar Board has authorized a
committee to study the
vocational guidance system at
Agnes Scott. Members of the
committee are Brenda Dance and
Caroline Hill (seniors and
co-chairmen), Gayle Daley and
Sharon Jones Guniors), and Jane
Parsons and Lennie Bussey
(sophomores). This committee is
studying the policies of 25 other
schools equivalent to Agnes Scott
to see how they handle
vocational guidance in general
and to see how they
communicate with the students.
The biggest problem according to
Brenda Dance, is to get students
to "use the department." One of
the committtee's aims is to
familiarize students with the
services of the Vocational Office.

The information presently
available in the Vocational Office
concerns material on summer and

permanent jobs, news on job
requirement skills, and
personality tests which indicate
what field might most interest
the student. Employment tests
and interviews can be arranged

At Emory University a group
of perenial recruiters have more
or less become established. The
Emory office contacts company
recruiters that are not already
coming to the campus through
letters or by visiting the
companies personally.

Mrs. Grady, one of the Emory
vocational guidance consultants,
cited the fact that one's major
plays a great part in determining
one's paths after graduation.

The colleges of Spellman ,
Morris-Brown, Clark, Morehouse,
and Atlanta University are all
part of the Atlanta University
Placement Center. Each school
has their own placement director
and all of their efforts are
coordinated by George Land. The
work of the Placement Center
deals with counseling and
interviews which help the student
determine what type of job might

large number of private phones
already in use on campus. There
are approximately 190 private
phones on campus. Since many
of these phones are shared by
several people, it is estimated that
at least half of t e student body
has direct access to a private
phone. This suggests the idea that
it might be just as cheap to install
private phones in each room as to
continue full operation of the
switchboard. Hopefully, the
Southern Bell study will be able
to answer this question and
others.

Asked about the other papers
presented, Sherry commented
that they "didn't come upon
anything particularly exciting."
She finds it interesting "to meet
other people and find out how
the departments differ, especially
from those of the universities."

She noted that the other
schools seem to rely a great deal
upon secondary sources, while at
Agnes Scott "we go right to the
primary source." Comparison of
insight gained from reading, for
instance, Plato's own thought and
a synopsis in The History of
Philosophy make the greater
amount of time spent
worthwhile.

Next year there is a chance that
the conference may be held at
Agnes Scott. The topic will be
existentialism.

business and industry, different
school systems and graduate
schools come to the Placement
Center. Tests required by
different companies for
employment are also given at the
Center.

Towards Humanity

Women's Lib advocate Kate Millet, spoke to a large audience at

Emory University Monday night. Millet, coming to the fore of
Women's Lib with the publication of her doctoral thesis, SEXUAL
POLITICS, denounced the mass media as responsible for presenting a
false image of the Women's Liberation Movement.

De-emphaisizing the socio-psychological and cultural factors, the
media prefers to sensationalize "burn-the-bra" aspects. She
commented on the advertisement-"I dreamed I went to a Women's
Lib rally in my Maiden-form bra."

Millet notes that there is no bilogical basis for the different
termperamental characteristics attributed to males and females.
Children are sexually differentiated in status, role and termperament
before the age of five. These differences are not innate, but are taught
to persons by society; they are a socio-cultural product. From the
very beginning children are treated in a "feminine" or "masculine"
manner according to their sex. She notes that strangers often don't
relate to an infant until they know its sex.

Millet defined "sexual politics" as being dependent on male
supremacy. Males maintain , control over all the institutions in our
society. That males are in control is no reflection of their ability. It is
a mere reflection of the value system which designates certain roles as
appropriate for men and women and is rooted in the socialization
process beginning in childhood.

The implication of Women's Lib will have definite repercussions
upon not only partriarchal ideology, role and status and temperance
differences for men and women, but upon the very social, cultural
and economic structure now in existence.

"Women cannot be free in the present plitical-economical order.
Nobody can."

Millet stressed that the overall affect of Women's Lib would be a
more human attitude on the part of all people towards all individuals
regardless of sex. Men would no longer be forced into dominant roles
and would not have to cater to all the qualities considered "manly."
Like the Women's Lib movement, Millet feels that the Gay Liberation
Movement will contribute to this removal of stereo types. She hopes
that these movements will "bring us all closer to our humanity."

Student Teaching

by TRICIA EDWARDS

Winter quarter student teachers
are rapidly coming to the
concensus that more is involved
in teaching secondary school that
''reading, 'riting and Vithmetic".
Instead, they emphasize the
psychological problems of
discipline and "reaching 1 ' the
student, finding the answers to
these difficulties are not in the
book. Three out five students
indicated required educations
courses had not covered these
major problems satisfactually.
One student explained that given
solutions were idealistic and not
workable in a classroom
situation.

Although the majority of
student teachers are enthusastic,
one discouraged disillusioned
senior admitted that she "hated"
it. "I hate getting up at 6:30 and
getting out at 4:30. I hate having
my first period as my planning
period. My students are
frequently kicked out of class for
foul language and often pass out
in class from drugs. The average
IQ is 80. The only thing they
know about is sex and drugs."
One student approached this
teacher and asked "Why don't
you give upT

A major factor in the student
teacher's adjustment is the school
system itself. Christy Fulton,
although enthusiastic about
teaching, feels her school is run
on a "Gestapo system". At
Christy's own high school, a large
amount of freedom was given
students, promoting resonsibility.
Christy feels uneasy in a strict
atmosphere which she feels often
creates rather than curbs
rebellion and disciplinary

problems. On the other nana,
Mimi Pease likes especially the
relaxed atmosphere and the
"good" supervisors of her school.

Mimi teaches in a school of
11,000 black students and 200
white students. Although a
Junior Black Panther Party exists,
it is "not very active". Racial
difficulties are at a minimum.

Another asset to the majority
of the student teachers is their
immediate supervisor, the teacher
of their classes. One student,
however, has had difficulty with
an over protective teacher who
will not give up her classes. The
teacher does not allow the
student teacher to take over the
class to teach, will not leave the
room, and restricts lessons plans.
Idiot work is then relegated to
the student teacher.

Two teachers find the shock
treatment of "yelling" a helpful
disciplinary measure, but Becky
Naylor feels students benefit
more from love and a relaxed
atmosphere. Becky teaches
German to an advanced class of
mostly boys. She finds the
students quick and helpful even
to the extent of solving her
lovelife by trying to "fix her up"
with one of the men teachers.

Christy and Carol Bannister
expressed a concern with the
students' failure to grasp basics.
Carol's students matched
descriptions of places to names of
men on a matching test. Both
student teachers must cope with
difficulties in reading and
comprehension. Carol was

A Task Force on Youth was
established in the spring of 1 c >70
by John Rockefeller III to
investigate the possibilities of
building collaborative social
change. The research was in two
phases. Eight hundred and
seventy two students and 403
business leaders' were
interviewed. The students were
from a representative
cross-section of 3 5 colleges and
universities. The business sample,
while regionally representative,
was weighted toward the larger
major corporations which could
provide the leadership and
involvement necessary, according
to the report.

The students were divided into
two categories. The Forerunners
(44%) are those with "new
values." They emphasize the
importance of the individual, the
eappraisal of society and the
desirability of social change. The
Career Minded feel earning
potential would influence their
choice of careers. Half the
Forerunners and a quarter of the
Career Minded students were
willing to commit six months of
their lives to these types of
projects.

Four project concepts with
which students and business
leaders might work together were
found acceptable by both groups.
Both chose as most acceptable a
Student/University Consortium
Proposal (regional problem
solving by students from several
colleges in the region with
co-operation, organization
assistance and support from their
schools' faculties and
administrations).

Second choice of a project by
students was helping elect
candidates to political office,
which was the third choice of
business leaders. They preferred
as second choice holding
Dialogue Weeks in various
national cities with discussions
among students and business
leaders focusing on causes, effects

surprised by her students "wierd
perspective". "They can't
conceptualize countries being
united. Situations are expressed
negatively-'lf this happens, there
will be war'."

Student teachers agreed the
work is hard, but the majority
feels "it's worth it". Carol
Bannister expressed the awe of
success saying, "My class
show-off hasn't disturbed class
for a week!"

by SUSAN PROPST

and actions needed to eliminate
poverty in each community.
These Dialogue Weeks were the
last choice of students because
they felt little action could come
of them.

As a third choice, the students
found acceptable a program for
using the existing system-law.
courts, stockholders meetings,
etc. -to produce meaningful social
change in much the same way
Ralph Nader has evolved an
effective public service strategy in
the area of consumerism. This
was the business leaders fourth
choice.

The study concluded that there
is broad agreement among
students and establishment
leaders on many of the pressing
areas of domestic social needs
that warrent attention. Beneath
their anger, establishment leaders
are keenly interested in workg
with students and a re
sympathetic to their goals and
feelings. Beneath their mistrust of
the establishment, the majority
of students want to work with
the establishment leaders.

The emphasis of the media to
the contrary-the overwhelming
majority of the student body is

especially the Forerunners, are
ready to devote time and effort,
at minimal compensation and at
the cost of postponing their
individual careers, to working
toward the solution of pressing
social problems.

In moving toward any form of
action, they conclude that two
premises must be understood: ( 1 )
the obstacles standing in ihe way
of youth / establishment
collaboration and the positive
forces operating in favor of
collaboration are fairly evenly
balanced. Which way the balance
will be tipped depends largely on
the quality of leadership

major obstacle standing in the
way of collaboration and must be

Yeats To Lecture On Ireland

The Honorable Michael B.
Yeats, Chairman of the Irish
Senate and son of poet William
Butler Yeats, and his wife will
present facets of Ireland's history
and culture in programs at Agnes
Scott April 6 and 7.

Senator Yeats will speak on the
politics of the Republic of
Ireland Tuesday, April 6, at 8:15
p.m. in Agnes Scott's Presser
Hall.

Since 1969, Senator Yeats has
been Chairman of Irish Senate, a
post comparable to Speaker of
the U.S. House of
Representatives. He is a member
of the Fianna Fail Party of Prime
Minister John Lynch, which has
formed the government of

Ireland since 1 957. Yeats
continues the family tradition
begun by his father, Nobel Prize
winner William Butler Yeats, who
was a member of the first Senate
set up after Irish independence
was won in 1922.

An ardent internationalist,
Senator Yeats was a principal in
keland's recent decision to apply
for membership in the European
Common Market. The

statesman's further concerns are
with legislation affecting social,
economic and cultural advances.

Outside his political life,
Senator Yeats is an authority on
Irish folk music n n d is the music
critic for one of Ireland's leading
newspapers.

Mrs. Grainne Yeats, a
distringuished singer-harpist who
has performed in this country
and throughout Europe, will give
a concert on the Irish harp
Wednesday at 8:15 p.m. in the
Dana Fine Arts Building. A
reception will follow her
performance

Mrs. Grainne Yeats, who has
performed on stage and television
in this country, received the
Harriet Cohen International
Award for solo instruments in
1966.

Her program at Agnes Scott
will feature examples of the folk
songs and harp music of Ireland,
some of which she has recorded
for the New York company,
Spoken Arts.

SGA Sponsors Pamphlet
Concerning Birth Control

i

A pamphlet dealing with
various methods of birth control
entitled "The Loving Book", will
be available tc students on the
Agnes Scott campus next week.
They will be distributed from
Student Government offices. Due
to a unanimous vote by
Representative Council to use its
winter quarter allowance to buy
copies at 20 cents per pamphlet,
"The Loving Book" will be
sponsored by Student
Government Association at no
cost to students. The sponsorship
is entirely student initiated.

"The Loving Book" was
written by James Trussell, a
senior at Davidson College, and
was funded by the Ford
Foundation and the Searle
Foundation. Trussell is presently
doing research in the Family
Planning unit at Grady Hospital
in a program of independent
study. He has been awarded a
Marshall Scholarship to study at
Oxford, England, next year.

According to Davidson campus
newspaper "The Davidsonian"
(February 12) , Trussell was
motivated to write the pamphlet
because of the substantial lack of
information concerning
contraception and birth control.
"Almost all the literature on
birth control which is available, is
directed toward indigent
populations. The more I read on
the subject, the more I began to
feel that students are neglected."
Trussell notes that information
concerning contraception is often

given in a too simplified comic
book form or in scientific
journals too technical and
complicated for the layman to
understand.

That students are to a large
degree unaware of methods of
birth control and the
effectiveness of each method, was
supported by Davidson College
Physician, Dr. William Davis, who
feels that most students do not
have a very broad knowledge of
birth control devices.

"The Loving Book" was
written to provide factual
information concerning birth
control in four main
areas-non-prescription methods

of contraception, prescription
methods, sterilization and
abortion. The advantages and
disadvantages of each type are
included.

Commenting on Student
Government's backing of the
pamphlet, President Carolyn Cox
said, "We saw the book, we think
it is tastefully done and we think
there is a definite need for
dissemination of information of
this type." Carolyn added that
this seemed a worthwhile service
that Student Government could
provide. Semior Mimi Pease, a
friend of Trussell's, brought "The
Loving Book" to the attention of
Student Government.

The PROFILE urges students to read
responsies to the following questions
and to consider them before the
elections this Wednesday. Students are
also urged to attend the presentation of
campaign speeches Wednesday during
the convocation period. Voting will be
at 6:45 in Gaines and a Hub party will

Peoples' Fair At Piedmont Park

Atlanta's Piedmont Park will be
the scene of a People's Fair, April
2, 3 and 4. Three days of music,
films, rallies, raps, theatre,
exhibits, education-
-manifestations of the growth of
an alternative to a sick society.
Three days to view and share
ideas, thoughts, experiences,
creativity, and commitment to a
life without war, racism, sexism,
poverty, and repression. An open
event, free food and fun.

The People's Fair is not one
organization or ideology. People
speak and play in many ways. Its
a coming together that's long
overdue. It's an exchange of
many cultural, social and political
movements.

April 4 is the commemoration
of the loss of a great man of the
struggle for a new life, Martin
Luther King. The bullet that took
his life also strikes brothers and
sisters all over the globe. The Fair
celebrates a new culture of peace
and justice; its a chance to
express yourself on the war
against the people of Indochina
and oppressed people in America.

Antiwar Movement Rallies

Graduate
Early

It is possible to graduate from
Agnes Scott in three years.
Students who wish to accelerate
usually design their program
during course selection week of
their sophomore year. If juniors
should decide early during the
junior year to accelerate, they
may still do so.

Candidates for the Agnes Scott
degree must complete 180 hours
of academic credit and meet basic
and major requirements
satisfactorily. These requirements
do not necessarily have to be met
at Agnes Scott.

A person desiring to graduate
within a three year period must
take an overload (18 hours)
during some quarters plus
attending summer school in order
to obtain the 180 required hours
within such a short period. A
maximum of 30 hours of degree
credit in summer school is
acceptable for the degree.

Grades from summer school are
transferred and placed on the
college record accordingly. For
example, if you take five hours in

summer school and receive an
"A", five hours of "A" work
appears on your record. The
rumor that even if you make an
"A" or "B" in summer school,
Agnes Scott only records it as a
"C" is not correct, according to
Dean of Faculty, Julia Gary.
However, grades below "C"
received at another school are not
acceptable as work towards the
Agnes Scott degree.

No grades received at another
school enter into the number of
quality points the student
receives. Quality points are only
given for work at Agnes Scott.

Because graduating within a
three year period requires during
some quarters a maximum load
of 18 hours, it has been felt that
in order to accelereate one has to
have a "B" average. A student is
supposed to have a "B" average
for the quarter preceding the
quarter in which she wishes to
carry the maximum load, but she
may appeal to the Academic
Council in any case.

Students are reminded that
they can appeal to the Academic
Council over the Dean of Faculty
in many situations and should
not be deterred from their
ambitions until they have made
such appeal. Dean Gary
commented that exceptions to

A united antiwar movement
has announced a massive
demonstration in Washington,
D.C. on April 24. This peaceful,
legal march and rally has received
the broadest support of any
demonstration to date. Endorsers
and participants include
important trade unions, Black,
Chicano and women's groups, as
well as prominent Congressman,
authors and others. The
demonstration will answer
Nixon's escalation of the war
with the demand that all the
troops be brought home from
Indochina immediately.

In order to relate to the Black
and Chicano struggles, the
women's liberation and gay
movements, special organizations
have been set up. The women's
group, for example, is planning to
use films, etc., to organize
women into a special women's
contingent, with their own
banners and slogans. The Black
and Chicano task forces are
planning to hold Black and
Chicano antiwar demonstrations
prior to April 24 to organize their
communities for the
demonstration in Washington.

Women's Lib-
Not at ASC!

To the Editor:

It seemed interesting to tally
the results of a question on my
elementary French exams. After
reading a passage on France's first
female pilot (hired because of a
shortage of pilots), the 22
students answered these two
questions:

1 Do you wish to take a trip in
a plane with a female as a pilot?

Yes - 1 5

No -6

No response - 1

2. Do you have more
confidence in a male pilot?

More confidence in a male pilot
- 14

No more confidence in a male
pilot (than in a female) - 7
No response - I

Interesting results considering
the young woman, aged 27, was
an engineer with ten years of
study as preparation!

Street, from Kent State, from
Greensboro, down the East
Coast, across the Cumberland
Valley and up Route 1 from the
south. Marchers will carry with
them a peace treaty that comes
10,000 miles from Vietnam.

The marchers symbolize the

it will be stopped by the
determination and resistance of
millions of people in the United
States.

The spring offensive includes
five major rallies: April

in order to take the demands of
the peace treaty into government
departments and committees;
May 1 Celebration of peace; May
3: Stop the war or we stop the

Americans to commit themselves
to force without violence by a
campaign of massive civil

First Hearings On The
Legalization Of Marijuana

OLYMPIA, Wash.
(CPS) There were harmonicas in
-the marble halls and a hint of
incense--or something that
smelled like incense-in the
galleries of the state capitol here
last week as some 650 mostly
young, mostly student and
mostly pro-pot persons gathered
to hear what has been plugged as
the "first hearing on the
legalization of marijuana in the
United States."

There were so many people
attending that the hearing had to
be moved from the scheduled
hearing room to the House
chambers.

In two hours over 1 5 persons
spoke for and against House Bill
588, sponsored by Rep. Mike
Ross of Seattle. The bill, if
passed, would legalize the sale of
up to one ounce of grass per
person per day through
Washington's liquor store outlets.

The grass, grown and graded by
the state, would be sold on much
the same basis as alcohol is in

Washington. All liquor in the
state is sold through state stores.
Receipts from the sales would go
to drug research at state
universities, to public schools and
to the state's general fund.

Ross, who spoke first in
support of the bill, asked the
House Judiciary Committee to
give it a serious hearing because
"marijuana is a crime without a
victim."

Sam Erwin, a University of
Oregon professor of medicine,
drew a loud ovation from the
gallery when he said there is no
evidence that use of marijuana
results in damage to tissues of the
body.

"Of all the illicit drugs used
today, pot is the safest... it is also
the main drug of illicit use. You
are not adding another alcohol;
you are adding a safer alternative.

''Until a marij uana is
legalized," Erwin added, "the
problem will be with us and it
will escalate."

CANDIDATES

The following questions were directed to the candidates by the PROFILE.

BORGUK

1. Why do you want the office of
Student Government President? What is
your concept of the role of the Student
Government President? What do you see
as the role of the Student Government
President when the administrative is not
responsive to student wants and needs?
What would you do in a case where the
administration is not responsive?

BORCUK: The Student Government
President functions as the formal liason
between the student body and any
other group with which it comes into
contact, whether it be the rest of the
campus community, the Decatur
community or other colleges and
universities and their organizations. She
is ultimately responsible for seeing that
the wishes of the majority of the
students are brought to the attention of
the proper authorities and forwarded
through the necessary channels. In a
case where the administration is
''unresponsive" to sincere attempts by
students, the Student Gov't Pres should
act according to her own personal
evaluations but retain her role as a
campus leader in whatever action is taken
by students. In the past, the student
body president has often had a
significant part in setting the mood on a
small campus, i.e. general optimism,
general pessimism. It appears, then, that
she must be in personal contact with
every faction that she is representing, in
order to be truly representative in her
attitude. Although I am sure there must
be a few personal benefits to holding
the office, 1 feel less of a desire to seek
election than of a responsibility to run,
since I am probably fairly qualified to
be representative of the entire
campus during the coming year.

PEET: There should always be a
choice in the democratic system of
government. I offer that choice in this
election. A president by definition is an
initiator of policy, he is aware of the
needs of his constituency and he
executes policy in keeping with these
needs. The President's relations with the
administration must truly be as a
representative of the student body's
position. If the administration is
unresponsive, then, it is the role of the
President to achieve a compromise
between the hierarchy and the students.

SGA

2. Would the individual student be
affected if the student government,
excluding a judiciary body, were
abolished?

BORCUK: Definitely-unless there
exists such a student who requires
absolutely nothing but hours to sleep,
food to eat, classes to attend, and
Honor Court offenses to commit. That
student would not be affected by the
termination of student government
(exclusing a judiciary body), which is
organized, or should be, for the purpose
of serving student needs. I think it
would be a mistake to disband student
government at any time in the near
future. It is especially necessary to
maintain a legislative body to which the
students may appeal at any time.

PEET: Unequivocably no! The
students might not discover its absence
for a week- this underlines the
immediate need for a re-evaluation of
student government and suggests the
possibility that it may be expendable.

3. What do you have planned for
student government? Do you think
changes are needed in the academic
and/or social areas? Do you see student
government as having a role in the
greater Atlanta area, such as the
Committee on Community Affairs
envisioned?

BORCUK: I imagine both the
convocation and the parietal issues will
airse within the year, however, other
than looking into these questions, I have
no major plans for student government.
Personally (and at the moment), I am
satisfied with the existing social
regulations. Yet, I feel that a few
changes should be made in the academic
program. I do not think that student
government itself has a role in the
greater Atlanta area. Student
government's function in relation to the
off-campus community is to provide the
opportunity for the individual Scott
student to participate through such a
group as the Committee on Community
Affairs.

PEET: Change is demanded in the
academic areas. Student involvement in
curriculum changes, evaluation of a
semester system, four course load for
freshmen and sophomores- these are
changes that CAP has started to
investigate. These investigations should
continue with the increased support and
publicity of Rep. Council. Student
Government should help share some of
the wealth of ASC with the Decatur and
Atlanta communities. Tutoring might be
more successful if SGA sponsored, day
care centers staffed by Scotties are not
unreasonable nor is an urban renewal
project in conjunction with Tech or
Morehouse in Vine City. The time is
ripe for action, not further planning.

4. Define student apathy. In your
opinion does student apathy exist on
the ASC campus? Why, or why not?

BORCUK: Student apathy is the lack
of interest of a large group of students
for certain issues with which some
people are concerned and feel that
everyone should be concerned. It exists
on this campus because of the
discrepancy between the interests of
student government members and those
of various factions of the student body.

PEET: Apathy runs rampant at Scott.
It is the result of lack of information,
lack of interest, and lack of time. There
is a need for dynamic contemporary
community-based programs, now.

5. Do you think convocation serves a
purpose on this campus? In view of
some students lack of enthusiasm for
convocation, should student
government concern itself with this
area? If so, what solutions do you think
possible?

BORCUK: Convocation is still
required on this campus because it is
seen as one of the few strands of unity
remaining after most of the social
regulations were abolished. Freedom is
great. Nevertheless, as freedom
increases, unity decreases- that is, in
releasing the student from the chains
and permitting her to act in a totally
independent manner, certain aspects of
the sense of oneness and harmony with
her fellow students are eliminated. I
think it is vital that we consider exactly
what has happened or will happen to
this campus as certain freedoms are
granted to us. However, I do not believe
that forcing people to attend an
assemblage of the entire student body
for thirty minutes, once a week, will
bring about the desired unity. Both the
student government and interested
individuals might concern themselves
with this area. (Possible solution: Make
convocation attendance voluntary but
have the programs so interesting that
people go anyway?...)

PEET: Convocation vastly improved
winter quarter. There is room for a
greater diversity in speakers, in topics,
but SGA can only make suggestions.

INTERDORMITORY COUNCIL

CARTER

1. Why do you want this office? What
do you see as Interdorm's major
function on the ASC campus? Do you
foresee any changes in the present
system?

CARTER: While serving as Dorm
Council Secretary, I have become very
interested in Interdormitory Council.
By becoming chairman of this council,
which functions as a vital unifying body
of the residential campus community, I
feel I can best serve in a leadership
capacity for Agnes Scott. The only
major change in the present system of
Interdormitory Council that I see
necessary for consideration is in the
underclassman representation on the
board. At present, only seniors comprise
Interdorm. Two juniors, two
sophomores, and one freshman attend
meetings only in a judicial capacity
when there are cases.

JONES: Having enjoyed serving on
Dorm Council and as Dorm Council
Secretary, I would look forward to
using this experience in serving as
Interdorm Chairman; and, as Chairman
of Interdorm I feel that I can be closely
related to the activities and needs of all
students. Interdorm's major function, I
believe, is to administer to and preserve
the safety and well-being of each
student, a goal that cannot be
accomplished without cooperation and
a sense of collective responsibility from
the campus community. Interdorm
should maintain, within the dorms, an
atmosphere condusive to academic
pursuits which also allows for maximum
social freedom. Needless to say, IDC
will continue to exercise its executive
power by coordinating the activities of
all campus residences, and its judicial
power as an appellate court. Any
changes in the present system will be to
insure its smoother functioning, such as
a greater insistence on quiet in the
dorms, and a closer working relationship
with Honor Court for a more effective
judicial process.

KAUFMANN: According to the
Student Handbook Interdorm functions
to "coordinate and consolidate" dorm
and cottage activities and it acts as a
go-between for the dorms and cottages
and the Dean's Staff, Mrs. Turner's
office and Mr. Saxon's office. In
addition to these executive powers it
also serves in a judicial capacity.
Actually, Interdorm and Dorm
Councils' functions range from
freshman oreintation and dorm parties
to distribution of exam materials, but I
think that some of Interdorm's
potential functions are overlooked, and
I would like to see them put to better

use. One possibility in particular is a
more efficient exercising of Interdorm's
role in distribution of information.
Interdorm and the Dorm Councils have
miles of bulletin board space at their
disposal which can be not only
decorative, but functional, in making
available information about relevant
issues and activities. In this area it could
work with the Student Activities Board,
but it is crucial that these boards be
more up-to-date and less chaotic than
most campus bulletin boards are now.

MEES: I have become quite
interested in the work of both
Interdorm and Dorm Councils. I have
worked closely with both the students
and the administration this year and feel
that I am capable of handling the
responsibilities of this office. I feel that
I can uphold the standards of the
Council and Agnes Scott as well as bring
the interests of Interdorm to the
students so that they will be aware of
what their Interdorm Council is, how it
functions, and why it is important to
the student body. The major function
of Interdorm is to coordinate the seven
Dorm Councils, to handle problems
which may arise and be referred to the
Council. Also Interdorm is a means of
communication for the students and the
administration. The system has been
very successful this year and with the
continued interest of both students and
administration, I do not see any changes
for the near future.

2. Freshmen have been signing out
overnight in order to avoid late time
limits. Do you plan to do anything
about this? If so, what do you purpose?

CARTER: Although, technically, the
freshmen who are signing out overnight
in order to avoid coming in at 12:00 or
2:00 a.m. are not breaking any rules,
they are defeating the purpose of the
present sign out policy. First, the
freshmen need to be made aware of the
fact that signing out to go, for example,
to a movie and then to Underground
Atlanta, etc., for overnight with a date

is, obviously, quite different from
signing out to spend the night at the
home of a friend or relative. Interdorm
will have to carefully discuss the matter
of freshmen signing out overnight. I,
however, do not see how the general
signout rules can be changed back after
such a progressive step forward with
SCRAP. Perhaps, there will need to be a
slight change in freshman signhout
procedure such as approval by the
senior resident for an overnight for fall
and winter quarter freshmen.

JONES: Although any change in
policy would not affect this year's
freshmen class, it appears that

KAUFMANN: I think that at the
present time it is sufficent to use the
existing point system for rule
infractions and let each Dorm Council,
on an autonomous basis, examine the
circumstances and come to its own
decision about individual cases.
Alumnae can tell tales of sneaking out
of their dorms 20 years ago and since
rules in the past have not prevented this,
I don't think a new rule would be
effective now. For dorm council
members to act as policement would be
both inappropriate and ineffective in
getting to the root of the problem, and
there is a danger that other measures
would lead to no signing out at all

m

KAUFMANN, MEES, JONES

something should be done to alleviate
the situation for next year. Often, the
freshman who calls back to sign out for
an overnight, does not really want to
remain out all night. One proposal
would be to require that overnights be
approved for fall and winter quarter
freshman by the senior resident. I do
not believe, however, that a student
(i.e., the dorm president) has the
perrogative to approve another student's
activities. Another course of action
would be to devise a system of extend
ed time limits for special occasions. I
am, of course, open to alternate
suggestions.

f

instead of just overnight sign out. I
don't condone this misuse of the
system, but I do think it's important to
realistically evaluate the consequences
of acting against this particular misuse.

MEES: The whole purpose ot our
sign out and time limits systems is for
the safety of all students. Those who
abuse the rules only hurt or endanger
themselves. I would propose that the
Interdorm Council speak to each dorm
group and stress the importance for
these rules. If there is not any
cooperation, perhaps the administration
would see fit to consider the problem
with the help of the students on the
appropriate councils.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES BOARD

WILSON

1. What do you see as the purpose of
the Board of Student Activities?

What do you see as its relationship
with the other boards?

The SGA Constitution as amended by
RC 1 17 states that the Board of Student
Activities will function to encourage,
coordinate, and publicize activities of
interest to students. The separate boards
that will be represented on the BSA (if I
may add another set of initials to Agnes
Scott jargon) will remain autonomous
and operate according to their existing
constitutions. Rep created the BSA with
the idea of its functioning primarily as a
calendar committee that will provide
comprehensive publicity for all
organized campus activities. Publishing a
campus calendar will indeed be a major
duty of this board, but potentially the
Board can mean much more to Scott.
BSA meetings will create an
opportunity for interaction between the
boards that campus organizations have
lacked before. Hopefully the individual
organizations will supplement each
other at the meetings with ideas of
better ways to meet the needs of the
campus. If the Board feels that a need
exists which could best be met through
the combined effort of all organizations
working jointly, this could be a unique

function of BSA in coordinating such a
project. Besides publicizing on-campus
activities, the BSA should be able to
provide students with information
concerning activities of interest in the
greater Atlanta area.

2. What in your opinion is the
difference between the Board of
Student Activities as now constructed
versus the Board as it was envisioned by
the committee on constitutional
revision?

The BSA as formerly constructed did
away with the constitutions of the
campus boards and reduced them to the
status of committees rather than
autonomous boards. The idea behind
this as I understood it was that student
activity could be more efficiently
organized under a single comprehensive
body. Rep decided to leave the boards
with their autonomous existences
however and compromise with a Board
of Student of Activities that would
coordinate the activities of the boards
acting separately rather than combine
the boards into one body. It is
important that the present BSA works
toward capturing the efficient
coordination of student activities that
the boards working as a group can
attain".

HONOR COURT

March 29, 1971

PROFILE

L Why do you want this office? What
do you see as the relationship between
the Honor Court Chairman and the
students and the administration? Where
does your chief responsibility lie? Being
a member of Honor Court is a great
responsibility in itself. One works
not with creating and wording of
legislation, organizing and executing of
activities. One works in close, very
personal contact with people. I feel a
deep sense of responsibility for Honor
Court, its relationship with the student
body in general, and its workings with
the honor system, and with individuals
in particular. I am also extremely
interested in the inner workings of the
board itself. It has a very paradoxical
nature. The board deals in theory, in the
interpretation of the honor system. Yet
it also deals on a concrete basis of
student to student. It has an emotional
quality and yet it is obsessively
objective. I am interested and excited
about working with Honor Court
because it teaches one quite a bit about
human nature and about oneself. Part
of the Chairman's role is that of a link
between a student organization and the
administration. But this is by far not the
chief role. My chief responsibility lies in
the title of the office Chairman of
Honor Court. I am not to be the
mouthpiece of the administration but
the head of a judicial. body of students
acting in judgment of their peers,

HODGES

opening to all levels of consideration. I
think the students in general sometimes
forget this basic reason that Honor
Court exists.

2. Do you think the honor system
works on the ASC campus? Why or why
not? Do you see any difference in the
application of the honor system to
social versus academic areas? Do you
envision any major changes?

Yes, 1

think the honor system works on the
ASC campus - to an extent. The
SCRAP results have drastically changed
the face of the honor system. The social
realm of the system is essentially in the
hands of the Dorm Councils and
Interdorm more as violations of
community well being than as a breach
of honor. I think this is as it should be.
Honor Court has become chiefly a
board dealing with academic violations,
though it can receive referrals, probably
social, from the other judicial bodies.
The changes brought about by SCRAP
gave the honor system a big boost. I
think the honor system is working but it
needs help. Students at large shrug off
to Honor Court members their
responsibility for the health of the
system. Honor Court relates effectively
to the honor system and continually
re-examines its positions. My major goal
for this year is to thoroughly examine
and redefine, if necessary, the honor
system in order that each student know
her precise role in the workings of the
system.

3 . Do you think better
communication is needed between
Honor Court and the students and the
administration? If so, what plans do you
think possible for its implementation?

Let me make clear first of all that
between Honor Court and the student
body there needs to be a certain lack of
communication. The board handles
quite personal cases and is concerned
first and foremost with the protection
of the student. I think that
communications between Honor Court
and the administration are relatively
good, grown out of mutual respect. We
have experienced in some cases a
breakdown in taculty-Honor Court
communications. We would like to
improve this. As far as communications
with the student body, I return to my
goal of examining the honor system
extensively. With a clear view of the
student and the board's roles,
communications should be vastly
improved. I would like to encourage
anyone - faculty or students - who
would like to question Honor Court or
its positions to please do so to the
board. Its size is conducive to discussion
and the members are receptive to
critical ideas.

1. What is your definition of a
Christian? Is Agnes Scott a Christian
community? Why is C.A. needed?

BARRON - A Christian is a person who
professes belief in Jesus as the Christ.

The Agnes Scott Bulletin reads, "The
College is committed to the spiritual
development of its students. ..a number
of Christian Association-sponsored
religious activities and service projects
encourage this development." Since the
college was founded with a Christian
purpose and seeks to fulfill that purpose
in its curriculum and extra-curricular
activities, I believe that Agnes Scott is
justifiably called a "Christian
community."

The purpose of C.A. is to be the
campus organization whic encourages
the spiritual development of Agnes
Scott students. Because spiritual
development, by its very nature, must
be on an individual basis, the need for
C.A., as I see it, is to provide a flexible
and varied program by which the
individual student is challenged to
examine her own beliefs and by this

confrontation, to grow spiritually.
Because of the estrangement in our
present-day world as sensed by Agnes
Scott students, I see the need for an
emphasis on reconciliation. The board
should provide activities on campus
which are conducive to spiritual growth
yet are not limited in focus but
emphasize our role in a larger
community. With the number and
variety of activities and service projects
offered in the greater Atlanta area, such
an organization is needed on campus to
coordinate and publicize these programs
and to make them available to our
students.

It is to provide outlets for service by
both initiation of long-range
C.A.-sponsored service projects and
encouragement of short-range ones in
cooperation with the Committee on
Community Affairs. Our metropolitan
location gives the Agnes Scott student
the advantage of the possibility of
exposure to various religious
denominations and sects during her
residence at the college. This possibility

presents a definite opportunity and
challenge for Interfaith to encourage an
intellectual confrontation of
Christianity with other religions on an
individual basis. Coordination of
campus-city religious activities through
bringing members of these groups to our
campus for informal discussions or
chapel programs and through publicising
their events provides a dynamic
opportunity for spiritual growth. C.A.
should also make Agnes Scott students
aware of their role in the even larger
community of the world - to inform
students of the need for their financial
support of international programs and
of the means for meeting that need.

COOPER: According to my
understanding, a Christian is one who
has a meaningful personal faith based in
the person of Jesus Christ. I do not feel
that simply good conduct, loud religious
words or regular church attendance
make a Christian. A man's faith is the
most inward, most real thing about him;
it is his relationship with God.
Therefore, Christianity is not an
outward show for men, but an inner
peace with God-Jesus Christ. Agnes
Scott seemingly displays the outward
morality of Christianity. Whether or not
Scott is a Christian community,
however, depends on what's inside the
students. I don't think all the students
at Scott want to think of themselves as
part of a Christian community. In spite
of this and because of this I think CA is
needed on campus to present a faith
that is relevant to today's needs. The
board has got to change from a remote
organization to a group that is involved
with the student and her needs. This is
not to suggest a deluge of Intervarsity,
Campus Crusade for Christ, or
denominational approaches. This is to
state a need for a student-minded board
that is willing to approach the student's
religious needs and to stimulate her
religious thought.

KERR: Although "Christian" cannot
be thoroughly defined in such a short
space, a partial description is that a
Christian is someone who has discovered
a relationship with God through Christ
and is doing something about it. This
"doing" involves a concern for other
people which is apparent only through
the daily lives of people and the way
they relate to each other.
A campus is not Christian-only

people can be. Phrased this way, I think
that there are Christians at Agnes Scott
who show a concern in making the
community a dynamic and vital place
for learning and living.

Because people are more than
academic beings, the learning experience
at Agnes Scott must be broader than
just the academic. During the four years
spent in College, most people make
many of their own decisions and assert
their own freedom more than ever
before. Many of these decisions will
have a lasting effect on the individual.

As part of this vital time in life, an
organization such as C.A. is needed to
provide a channel through which
progress toward meaningful and realistic
decisions can be* worked for. I would
like to see C.A. actively involved in
bringing information to the campus on
worldwide problems which individuals
must face-such as population control,
hunger, and p oil u t io n-with
opportunities for discussion and positive
action on the part of interested
students. I would also like to see C.A.
provide more opportunity for students
to take part in activities in the Atlanta
area, both in terms of religious activity
and community service. C.A. should
serve the campus in a way to bring
Agnes Scott students into greater and
more meaningful contact with the
community and the world.

2. Do you think convocation serves a
purpose on this campus? In view of
some students' lack of enthusiasm for
convocation, should CA concern itself
with this area? If so, what solutions do
you think possible?

BARRON: The professed purpose of
convocation, as I understand it, is to
unify the college community. In view of
student and faculty reactions during this
session, however, I feel that convocation
has not satisfactorily fulfilled its
purpose because disunity has resulted.

Since there is a Student Government
committee appointed annually,
expressly for the purpose of studying
convocation, the programs, and the
procedure for recording attendance, I
see no need for C.A. to concern itself
with this area.

SOCIAL COUNCIL

1. Why does Social Council exist on
this campus? What kind of activities do
you think students need on this campus
and how can Social Council meet these
needs? What innovations do you have
planned for your board?

UHL: In addition to playing an
important part in Orientation, Social
Council has the opportunity to provide
the students at Agnes Scott with
entertaining and relaxing activities
during the entire school year. I believe
that Social Council should try to reach
almost all of the student body by
planning a variety of events which will
appeal to people with different
interests. The response to the afternoon
concert on May 1st should tell us about
the possibility of continuing this type of
event, and the enthusiasm of students
has made me extremely optimistic
about its success. Hopefully, Social
Council will plan its activities with
imagination and a keen awareness of the
interests of the students.

WEBB: There is a definite need on
this campus for some activities that will
bring the students out of their books
and papers and into the world. This is
one of the reasons for the existence of
Social Council; to provide activities
which will allow you to forget your
academic pressures. Because of dorm
autonomy, Social Council is needed to
provide activities for the entire college
and thus stimulate social interactions
among all the students.

Students need and want activities that
encourage relationships among
themselves and among others from
outside the college community. Social
Council can meet the first need by
sponsoring activities for all members of
the student community. Examples are
movies, and the college bowl. The
interaction with people from off
campus can be achieved by Social
Council as it tries to work with the
other schools in planning events such as
the coffeehouse and the openhouse with

the Navy men. We need to participate in
the world outside this campus and this
can be accomplished by meeting with
those who are not members of this
college community; Social Council can
do this by sponsoring activities that will
bring people together.

Innovations. First of all, I think we
need to press for more money from the
school in order to be able to have social
activities that we want to attend. More
concerts and dances could be sponsored
by Social Council if we only had the
money. Also, I would like to see Social
Council work with the other boards in
co-sponsoring activities.

2. Explain your idea of Social
Council's relationship with the Student
Activities Board?

UHL: 1 think that liie board of
Student Activities will allow the
organizations represented to co-ordinate
their activities with greater ease and
provide a means of communication for
publicity and scheduling of events. The
creation of this new board is a welcome
change to me, and I believe that the
president of Social Council will be able
to contribute more to this board
concerned with activities than to Rep.
Council, which has become a legislative
body.

WEBB: The job of the Student
Activities Board, as stated in the
Constitution, is to support, encourage,
and coordinate activities on this
campus. The president of Social Council
is a member of the Student Activities
Board; therefore, she will be able to
bring Social Council's ideas and projects
to its attention. Social Council's
activities will be supported by the
Board. In this way, our events will not
overlap with the activities of the other
boards.

3. What future do you see for the
Hub?

UHL: The Hub is known chiefly as a
location for parties, teas, art sales,
meetings, sun-bathing, and other
activities, and its importance as a place
for casual student recreation has
increased appreciably during the past
year. 1 believe that the Hub is still
needed as a student activities center,
and if it is allowed to continue to serve
that purpose, it will regain popularity
with each new freshman class.

WEBB: The Hub has had increased
use this year; interest has been revived.
It is an absolute necessity for this
campus to have some sort of Student
Activities center due to the dorm
autonomy. The future of the Hub
should as a student activities building
until a new one is built.

PROFILE car ieKroc

1. What do you see as the function
of a campus newspaper? What
innovations do you have planned? Do
you plan to go bi-monthly?

On a campus such as Agnes Scott the
newspaper should serve primarily as an
activating force as well as an
easily-available outlet for opinions.
First, it must make the community
aware of events, problems and issues
facing not only this campus but also
campuses across the country. The paper
must then stimulate (and provide and
outlet for) some expression of concern,
suggestions, and general opinions from
its readers over the topics it handles.

If this becomes the primary concern
of paper, then changes must be made. I
do plan to publish the paper bi-monthly
to encourage the staff to prepare more
intensive articles and to allow more time
for campus response to articles. In
addition there may be rearrangement of
the staff structure. Changing to a
magazine-type style will be attempted
spring quarter. This allows more space
for "Letters to the Editor" and other
non-staff contributions.

2. Do you think the job of PROFILE
editor is that of a student public
relations man? If not, what does the
position stand for?

Under no conditions will I become a
'P-R" man for anyone. The editor's job
is that of an organizer of the paper, and
she assumes responsibility for the final
form and content of the publication. If
the students (or faculty or
administration) feel they need a PR
source, they are invited and encouraged
to use the paper as such-it's there
paper-but not the editor herself.

3. Define student apathy. Does
student apathy exist on the ASC
campus? Why, or why not?

Apathy exists everywhere, and on a
campus it takes the form of, "Gee,
that's really too bad, but I just don't
have time to do anything about it now.
Maybe next week, maybe after this
test..." Students become apathetic not
because they really "don't care" but
because they become too
grade-and-classroom oriented and can
always use a "lack of time" as an excuse
for not getting involved in non-academic
affairs. There is also a fear of expressing
ideas, publicly, or a fear of criticism,
which causes apathy.

4. What reforms do you think are
needed on campus? Will you work
actively towards them through the
PROFILE?

The PROFILE will work actively on
reforming or re-emphasizing the power
and usefulness of the campus
newspaper. There are many reforms I
personally encourage, but the policies of
paper cannot be determined until next
year's editorial board has been
appointed.

5. Interviews are sometimes not
fruitful due to the unwillingness of
students and faculty to say anything
which may be taken in a bad light. This
often presents an inaccurate picture of
the problem. How far should PROFILE
go in attempting to clarify an issue?

One of the most impressive
statements I heard at the Editors'
Conference this year was, "It is the duty
of the mass media to comfort the
afflicted and afflict the comforted."
There are too many "comfortable"
people here who naturally do not want
to be afflicted. In order to clarify
information the PROFILE must cause
discomfort to someone, yet the paper
must have completely correct and
conclusive information in order to
present an issue forcefully and
constructively. The paper must then be
extremely exact and as objective as
possible in its use of the information.
This should help instill trust in the
community towards the paper and thus
encourage more openness in interviews.

campus in programs aimed at meeting
other peoples' needs such as the Girls'
Club project sponsored this year for
underprivileged Decatur girls.

2. AA in part to build "spirit"

How would you define spirit? Are
students less interested in being a part
of a community and in working with
student government? How is this spirit
to be created by AA?

Spirit is the enthusiastic interest and
involvement of the student in all phases
of the campus life, including academics,

1. Why does Athletic Association
exist on the ASC campus? Is AA
meeting the needs of the students? What
are student needs?

AA exists on the ASC campus in
order to meet certain needs of the
students which are not specifically met
by other campus organizations. AA
considers mainly three areas of primary
needs: 1 ) a physical outlet through
organized athletics which are provided
for through the intramural and
intercollegiate competitive programs 2)
a physical and emotional outlet for the
individual on a non-competititve basis
by providing open-gym facilities,
off-campus trips, and activities to
promote "spirit" such as hub parties 3)
providing students with opportunities to
become involved both on and off

3. What is your position on parietals?
How do you think most students feel
about parietals? What chance is there of
implementing such a policy?

CARTER: Personally, I think
occasional parietals on "big" weekends,
such as Black Cat, Senior Investiture,
and Sophomore Parent's Weekend
would be great. There is no need on
Agnes Scott campus, however, for
parietals on a regular weekly or
bi-weekly basis since most dating is
done off campus and on other campuses
such as Tech and Emory. I think most
students feel that regular parietals
would inconvenience the majority of
students. After further discussion with
the Administration, perhaps it will be
possible to have some parietals. There
seems to be no chance at the moment of
having parietals on any regular basis.

JONES: The regular implementation
of parietals would adversely affect the
academic atmosphere of the campus and
the casual, relaxed atmosphere of the
dorms themselves, and 1 believe that
most students support this view,
However, 1 do think it would be highly
appropriate to have open dorms for
special college occasions such as
Investiture, and SPWE, and even
perhaps on some Sunday afternoons or
other pre-arranged times to be voted on
by individual dorms. There is a fair
chance for the implementation of such a
limited policy.

KAUFMANN: Since students seem to
be divided on this issue, I think that the
question of having parietals should be
decided by the individual dorms. If the
Administration could be persuaded (and
this is the main obstacle) I think it
would be best to try parietals at first on
an experimental basis for special
occasions, such as Black Cat or an
evening when Social Council is planning
a campus function.

MEES: I personally would not be
opposed to parietals if a policy could be
worked out for maximum consideration
for all girls on campus. I have talked to
many of the students on campus and
have found some in favor and some
opposed to parietals. It would take
much time and thought to change one
of the major policies here at Scott;
though I do think having such a policy
would be possible, I do not feel that it
will become a reality in the immediate
future. The students at Scott are mature
and responsible enough to handle a
parietal policy, but the issue would lie
with both the administration and the
student body.

4. Some students have expressed a
desire to live off campus. How would
you feel about an arrangement in which
students were not required to live on
campus? Might Interdorm concern itself
in this area?

CARTER: Campus life is one of the
most important aspects in one's college
education. I would think only juniors
and seniors should be allowed to live off
campus. By the time a girl has reached
her junior or senior year, she should be
able to decide for herself if she wants to
be a part of dormitory life or not.
Financially, though, the college must be
assured of a certain number of girls
living on campus. The question of Agnes
Scott students living off campus is not a
matter for Interdormitory Council to
decide, but for the Administration. If
this sort of arrangement were made, the
students living off campus would
become like day students.

JONES: Knowing the financial
situation of the college, it would not be
, economically feasible for a significant
number of students to live off campus;
the college could not afford to close any
dormitory. This would be an area for
Interdorm, in conjunction with the
Administrative Council, to investigate.

KAUFMANN: Off campus living
might possibly present a financial
problem for the school if it meant that
there would be wasted space in the
dorms, and, in addition, it could be
difficult for the student whose class
schedule was inconvenient. It would
involve missing out on dorm life and
many campus activities, but I think
that, on a limited basis, it would
feasible for a small number of students.
This is chiefly an Administration
decision, in which Interdorm would act
as a respresentative for the students.

MEES: I think that if a student
wants to live off campus and is willing
to accept the responsibilities of such
independence, it would be a good idea. I
also feel that it is socially and
academically conducive to live on
campus and to be a more personal part
of the campus. It would of course
depend on the student and her parents
as to where she would live if Scott
students were given the choice.
Interdorm, as one of the students'
representative councils, would have a
definite leadership position in helping to
work out such an issue. I feel that if the
students are really interested in doing
something about this, it would be more
than worthwhile to investigate possible
solutions.

interests, as stressed in a liberal arts
philosophy. "Spirit" is also a means of
determining an attitude of genuine
interest and enjoyment of an activities
in which a student may choose to
participate.

There does seems to be a definite
attitude of l 'noninvolvement" in the
campus community and in student
government workings. Many students
feel that working in the small campus
community is really secondary in
importance to participation in a larger
scale community effort, such as Atlanta
area activities. Other students feel that
the whole idea of campus student
government workings is really juvenile.
The purpose of AA, as is the purpose of
all student government boards, is to
stress an active involvement of students
in those areas of campus community life
which are of some interest to her.

3. What is your idea of AA's
relationship with the Student Activities
Board?

AA's relationship with he Student
Activities Board will be to use the board
as a central means of better publicizing
its functions and areas of activity. Also,
through such a central board it will be
better able to assist and support other

A A

board activities.

4. What is the future of the cabin?

The future of the cabin is still rather
dim. Although AA does have control of
it, efforts to redecorate and renovate it
for effective uses have been futile and
there seems to be little that AA alone
can now do with it.

COOPER: Convocation is handled by
the President's Office. Christian
Association has nothing to do with it.
Although convocation is supposed to
draw the campus community together,
as long as students resent and avoid it,
it's failing. I think the attempts to
update and review convocation have
been good and need to be continued.
Just as any student may, CA may also
make suggestions, but bears no power.
More interesting and relevant programs
will help this permanent institution.

KERR: Because CA. as an
organization is not directly involved
with convocation, I hope that its
energies can be directed toward other
meaningful goals for campus activity
and concern.

3. Is Religious Emphasis valid on the
ASC campus? Do you plan to change or
modify it in any way?
BARRON: I definitely feel that
Religious Emphasis Week is valid on this
campus because I believe that an
intellectual confrontation with
Christianity is most conducive to
spiritual growth, especially in a
community whose primary concern is
academic. I do not feel that the present
structure of RE Week is the best means
for such a confrontation; and for that
reason, I support the plea for flexibility
in the program as proposed by the RE
Week Evaluation Committee and hope
that certain modifications can be made
next year. Because "the College is
committed to the spiritual development
of its students," I think that the
program should be designed for
students. Since CA. members are
students themselves and are more
attuned to the need and desires of their
fellow students, I believe that the board
should be given the opportunity to
determine the program and to select
resource persons for the week. I hope
that next year's program will be such an
intellectual confrontation of
Christianity with another religion,
involving the entire campus

community-a biackfriars reading, an art
exhibit, a Glee Club or Madrigals
concert, etc., shorter chapel periods (the
normal 30-minute one rather an
extended 45-minute one); more
informal discussions of panels; and, if
possible, two or more speakers,
including those resource persons
available from within the Atlanta area
and from other state university
campuses. I see RE Week as a
challenging opportunity, and I feel that
CA can best meet that challenge by
rejection the traditional lecture-oriented
program in favor of a more creative and
dynamic one.

COOPER: Like convocation, RE
week is a permanent part of ASC. In its
past forms, 1 feel it has been less than
satisfactory in meeting the needs of the
students. I favor the new suggestions
passed by CA concerning RE Week and
feel that more ideas can be added to
make the time more stimulating and
more relevant. A variety of speakers
presentingdifferent views, a religious arts
festival, and seminars on key issues are
only three innovations I would like to
see. My primary aim, however, is to
have RE Week serve the student and not
some tradition.

KERR: In any life there is a need for
pausing for serious thought and
worship. R.E. Week provides for
students a special time for this
reflection. Although R.E. Week is not
directly under the auspices of C.A., I
hope that during this time set aside by
the college that CA. can initiate some
more and varied opportunities for
student participation and discussion,
including activities such as multi-media
worship and panel discussions between
people of various denominations and
faiths. During this time as well as
throughout the year, CA. should
attempt to provide as many
opportunities as possible for students to
work toward making individual
decisions as we prepare for, and
participate in, life which includes many
other people.

Working Off Campus Scott Studeitl Attends

Have you been considering a
part-time job off-campus as a
means of raising some extra
money. You can possibly do so,
but there are a few procedural
steps that must be taken.

A student wanting a part-time
job is supposed to get permission
from the school Vocational
Office and the Dean of the
Faculty. The school recommends
that students not work unless
they have at least a C average,
and that they not work more
than 1 5 hours per week, so that
outside work will not interfere

with school work.

Students wanting a job should
register in the Vocational Office,
and attempts will be made to find
a suitable job. lone Murphy,
director of vocational services,
said that due to the state of the
economy few part-time jobs are
available now. Most of those that
are, are either clerical or sales
positions. Only four students
have come to Miss Murphy this
year to indicate an interest in a
job, and she said that to her
knowledge no Scott student is
now working off-campus.

Editor's Conference

Mechanical Response

Provo, Utah-(I.P.Mndividua-
lized instruction for a large
group. That is how Brigham
Young University's Electronic
Media Department describes its
newest Learning System piece of
hardware.

The machine can take an
instantaneous vote, give a
true-false or multiple choice test,
take the class roll, show the
opinions of the entire class on
any point, let the professor know
whether or not his lecture is
understood, and aid the lecture
with slide projectors, motion
pictures, and audio-vieo tape
machines.

With five buttons on his desk, a
student can register his opinion
by pushing one of them. And the
teacher immediately gets the
answer of the entire class on his
computer screen at the front of
the room. The learning machine
is actually a small computer
processor connected to 240,
five-button, armchair responders.

Its purposes were explained by

assistant director of the
Electronic Media Department,
Dean Van Uitert: "First, we
want to bring the student
communication with the
professor as close to a one-to-one
ratio as possible. By using the
responders, students can let the
teacher know when he has gone
past the student's
comprehension."

According to Mr. Van Uitert's
description, the professor can
read into the machine his chosen
level of comprehension for the
class-say 90 per cent. He then
asks the students to push button
"A" on the responder if they are
able to follow the lecture, and
when a student is lost he is told
to push button "B".

When 10 per cent of the class
fails to understand what the
professor is teaching, the
indication is flashed to the
control panel. The professor can
then stop, ask for questions and
settle any confusion before the
covers additional material.

by CAROLE KROC
A trip to Los Angeles provides
an experience in itself. When the
trip involves spending several
days in an exclusive hotel with
approximately 400 other college
students (plus Johnny Carson and
Bob Hope) the experience
becomes even more enlightening.

The 400 students gathered at
Hollywood's Sheraton Hotel last
February, ostensibly to discuss
"The Mass Media." It became
clear from the opening session,
however, that we were not
interested in having the usual
type of convention. And we
didn't, in spite of the
management and the little old
ladies with their fearful but
disapproving stares.

Almost everything occurred on
a spontaneous, informal basis.
During meetings, topics were
switched unhesitantly (one panel
discussion on cable television
ended as an audience debate on
the relations between the Black

Panthers and the Gay Liberation
movement). Meetings were held
everyplace from poolside to a VW
bus. Everyone said what they
thought, wore what they wanted
and acted as they felt - there was
no "standard" or "generalized"
mood which could describe the
convention. Each meeting, each
conversation gave a different idea
of "how things really are."

So what did a girl from Agnes
Scott College in Decatur,
Georgia, gain from attending such
an unorganized, informal
convention? She realized that she
is not a student at Agnes Scott
College In Decatur, Georgia. She
is a Student, simply a Student in
General. She shares the problems
and hopes of thousands of other
students across the nation. The
conversations at the convention
gave her a chance to find new
perspectives for these problems
and hopes.

A special, intangible type of

"kinship" appeared among the
students. They realized that no
matter what college a student
attends, all students are in this
life together. They seemed to say,
"Look, we're all sharing this
future, and we're all working
from the same past, so let's all get
busy analyzing and changing the
present."

All types of opinions were
openly accepted. No one cared
where the ideas and suggestions
came from what counted was
that the comments were there
and were discussed. Local
problems either became
unimportant or part of a larger,
national issue. And the girl from
Agnes Scott College in Decatur,
Georgia, suddenly discovered that
she, too, is part of the national
issue. What she does became
more important because she is a
Student.

For a short time Agnes Scott, if
it really existed at all, appeared
much more than 2,000 miles

away.

Students Elect New Government Leaders

Believe it or not, on March 31
the Agnes Scott student body
elected 92 campus and class
officers for the 1971-72
"Student Administration/'
Most of these new officers
will be led by one of three
people-Sybil Peet, Claire
Hodges or Jeanne Kaufman n.
PROI /Lh feels it is important
that you know who these
three leaders are and what
they plan for your college
during the coming year. Get
to know them, and let them
get to know YOU through
your suggestions and
criticisms.

The following article was
compiled by Juliana Winters,
Marianne Bradley and Ellen
Flynn.

Sybil Peet, new President of
the Student Government
Association plans to focus her
administration on an evaluation
of student government at Agnes
Scott. Sybil stated, "There is a
mandate for change in view of
the fact that 77% of the student
body voted in the recent election.
Student Government must prove
that it is truly a viable part of the

Agnes Scott community in terms
of policy. After meeting with Dr.
Alston and Dean Jones, I am
optimistic about such change."

Sybil is a junior Political
Science and History major from
New York City. After graduation
she plans to attend law school,
perhaps specializing in criminal
law. Sybil is considering a career
with the American Civil Liberties
Union.

Sybil expresses her hope that
"students will avail themselves of
the existing channels for
structure change in both
academic and social regulations."

The chairman of Honor Court
for the 1971-72 school year is
Claire Hodges. Claire's home is in
Macon, Georgia, but she grew up
in North Carolina and spent one
year in Ohio.

Claire ran for the position of
Honor Court chairman, she
states, because of ' : a deep sense
of responsibility for Honor
Court, its relationship with the
student body in general, and its
workings with the honor system,
and with individuals in
particular."

Claire has several definite hopes
and plans for the coming

year. The theme of her
administration, she says, "will be
that of any judicial
administration - objectivity,
open-minded ness, and justice,"
She says that this board will
work, as have previous boards,
"to always protect the student
and to protect the honor
system."

In stating her plans, she says "I
hope to carefully think through
the honor system again to
examine it for flaws and
discrepancies, and to redefine the
nebulous areas. My goal is to let
the student know precisely her
role in the fulfillment of the
honor system."

Jeanne Kaufmann, a rising
senior from St. Simons Island,
Georgia, will lead
Interdormitory Council for
the next three quarters. She
hopes to use Interdorm as a tool
for dissemination of information,
especially on events occuring in
Atlanta. Making better use of
bulletin boards is one of her
plans.

As for sign-out procedures,
Jeanne wants to get opinions and
criticisms from this year's
freshman class on the "freshman
policy." She also would like to
review the signing procedure for
guests.

Jeanne also commented that

she would like to see some
progress made concerning
parietals, especially during Black
Cat. She also would like to see
more attention and support
focused on campus activities,
rather than "going to Tech
continually."

Campus Supports Children

The evening of Thursday, April
1, 1971, was filled with the
activities of Junior Jaunt. The
project, voted on by the student
body, for this year's Junior Jaunt
was "Say Yes to the City." The
proceeds will go to a summer
project sponsored by the Central
Presbyterian Church, the purpose
of which is to acquaint children
from the Inner City areas of
Atlanta with the cultural aspects
available to them. There will be
trips to museums, parks and Six
Flags, and also camping trips.
Arts and Crafts classes will be

conducted; lunch will be
provided for the children. One
college student will be hired to
co-ordinate the activities of the
children, and for his services h e
will be paid $400. The rest of the
counselors will be high school
volunteers. It is estimated that
85% of the children participating
in this program will be Negro.
The program, although
conducted by the Central
Presbyterian Church, will not be
a Bible school.

The Junior Class, with Nancy
Jones as project chairman,

directed Junior Jaunt. The
majority of the donations was
raised by the various projects
sponsored by each class, but
donations were welcomed from
anyone.

A student from each class was
responsible for coordinating the
activities of her class. Molly
Hand, Lee Walker, Rosalie Galey
and Barbara Paul coordinated the
activities of the freshmen,
sophomore, junior and senior
classes respectively.

In commenting on the success
of Junior Jaunt, Nancy Jones
said:

"I was really impressed by the
hard work each class put in to
making Junior Jaunt a great
success. I was amazed at the
campus involvement and I am
especially grateful for all the
faculty participation. The
entertainment was great and the
amount of money raised was even
greater! In speaking with the
people at Central Presbyterian
Church in Atlanta who will
sponsor "Say Yes to the City," I
was told that the program had
almost been cut out of the
schedule for lack of financial
support. Now with more than
$600.00 from Junior Jaunt,
many inner city children will be
able to participate in this
program. It gives me a good
feeling to know that Scott has
contributed to such a worthy
community project."

Ineligible List:
A Brief Look

by JAN FREDRICKSON

The beginning of a new quarter brings with it
placement on the Ineligible List for some students.
Which ones? "Those whose work is not
satisfactory..." (p. 31, 1970 Agnes Scott
catalogue). Unsatisfactory work is that which ould
not earn enough quarter hours and quality points
for promotion at the end of a year. Also ineligible
are students who make an E or F in five or more
quarter hours in any quarter, in which case even a
re-exam could not remove them from the list.

The number of students on the Ineligible List
from each class this quarter are:
Freshman 22
Sophomore 27
Junior 1
Senior 1

Julia T. Gary, Dean of Faculty, remarked that
the number of freshmen and sophomores is usually
about this high. Although it has been slightly
greater in the past two years, the overall percentage
is relatively similar. There is generally enough
improvement during the year to reduce the number
who are still ineligible by the end.

Ineligible for what? Voluntary class attendance
for freshmen and sophomores, and major offices in
clubs and other organizations for anyone. The
catalogue state that "..activities and social
engagements are subject to review by the Office of
the Dean of Students." The wording is a throwback
to the days when signing out was done in the
Dean's office, where each student's social life could
be kept track of more easily. Nowadays the list is
still there in case a student obviously is not
allowing herself enough time to study.
The requirement for entrance into each class are:

The evening of April 1, 1971
began with a dinner sponsored by
the sophomore class, from 5:30
until 6:30. Any one eating in the
Upper Dining Hall was charged
50c to enjoy a Mary Poppins
atmosphere. Several members of
the sophomore class served as
hostesses during the meal.
Toward the end of the meal
Carolyn Cox acted as auctioneer
for the freshmen slaves. For their
project many members of the
freshman class signed up to be
auctioned off as slaves for not
more than two hours work under
such categories as car washing,
room cleaning, shoe polishing,
and laundry. The slaves arranged
with their masters to do their

work at a convenient time on
Saturday, April 4, 1971.

The Juniors sponsored the
Faculty Talent Show which was
held in Gaines at 7:30 Thursday
evening, with an admission charge
of 50c. Several members of the
faculty entertained the students.
Following the talent show the
senior class sponsored a faculty
bake sale and raffle. Chances
were sold during the week for
any particular teacher and his or
her selected activity.

The freshman class raised
approximately $105 with their
slaves. The dinner sponsored by
the sophomores raised $194 for
Junior Jaunt. The talent show
brought in $183 for the Juniors.

PROFILE APRIL 9,1971

Pardon For Calley?

Editor's Note: Georgia Fifth District Congress-
man Fletcher Thompson introduced the follow-
ing resolution in the House of Representatives
on March 31, 1971.

Our Profile Changes

According to most authorities we are now involved in that great
event called "Spring." By this time everyone must be aware that at
ASC spring means, among other things, new student body leaders
with their new promises that "there'll be some changes made." I can
only echo these words at present. The PROFILE will be undergoing
change-some of it far-reaching-in a strong effort to involve the entire
campus in the process of constructive communication.

Bev Walker (may she rest in well-deserved peace this spring) spent
the past year giving the PROFILE the momentum, energy and
resources that it needs in ordeT to move forward. It is time to turn
the newspaper loose and let it move. I sincerely hope that the campus
community at large will be steering it in a progressive direction.

My duties as the new general editor include initiating changes that
hopefully will make the PROFILE a viable, working newspaper.
During spring quarter you will see and should think through these
changes. Consider them in light of their effects upon campus
awareness, commentary, and communication. Some of the obvious,
immediate changes include:

1. During the quarter only five issues will appear. This issue and the
final issue on May 25 will be four-page issues. The other issues (April
20, May 4, and May 18) will each contain eight pages. This
more-or-less-every-other-week schedule is an experiment to determine
just how often the PROFILE needs to be published in order to serve
the community most effectively.

2. Please note that the PROFILE will greet you on Tuesday
mornings instead of Friday mornings. The idealistic motivation
behind this change is simply that the general editor likes to sleep on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights instead of slaving away at the
publisher's office.

3. In recognition of the "arts" in "liberal arts" the PROFILE plans
to devote the last page of each issue to such items as art, music,
poetry and dance. This may be of comfort to the frustrated artistic
members of the student body.

4. A magazine-type layout will be attempted this quarter. Since the - doqdi / iTintu m a i-rur\

William Calley should be granted a pardon
by the Executive Branch of the U.S.
Government.

"Life at hard labor." The military jury at Fort
Benning pronounced this sentence upon Lt. William
Calley last week. From the ensuing public response
one would think that every United States citizen
had been given this sentence and must bear it.

According to one of those infamous Gallop polls,
"8 out of 10 Americans questioned disapproved of
the verdict and sentence." lt seems that no one
likes the military these days-first the public
screams indignantly about the horror of military'
action at My Lai, then it screams indignantly about
the horror of military justice at Fort Benning. In
other words, the public wants to scream and scream
loudly. And the sound is aimed at out military
committments, namely Vietnam.

Calley is guilty by law. That cannot be changed.
What can be and will be changed is the American
view of the "military machine" and its use in
Vietnam. American soldiers were sent there in the
early 4 60's as a part of foreign and economic policy.
Are American soldiers there ten years later for the
same reasons? Or has the tiny country become so
commonplace in military strategy that the military
establishment (particularly the high-ranking
officers) no longer care what happens, or why, but
only want "the job" done "quick and easy" so that
another job can be started?

It appears that the military machine has become
rather fat, lazy and irresponsible lately. It needs a
good cleaning. But condemning one lieutenant and
one event, My Lai, will not accomplish what needs
to be done in the way of cleaning. Hopefully the
military realizes this now and will do its own
cleaning. If this does not happen the American
public should don some maids' and janitors'
uniforms and get to work.

"Life at hard labor." Calley carries the sentence
as a representative of something we can no longer
ignore-the ineptitude of the military system. Since
it is the public's duty to correct the wrongs brought
out by the trial, perhaps every citizen does share
the sentence with Calley. Americans must work,
and woik hard, to see that My Lai and Fort
Benning (and behind it all, Vietnam) do not happen

To the Editor:

I can't decide if I've just gotten
scary in my old age, or if things
have really changed, but lately
I've started to notice just how
dark this campus becomes when
the sun goes down. Maybe I get
off campus more this year than
last and I see a few of our
neighbors. At any rate, I know
(and I'm sure others will agree)
that many students who wouldn't
think twice about strolling over
to Dana alone at night would
never consider walking an equal
distance in the opposite direction
(say, over to the high school even
if it is twice as well-lighted. Once
inside the "ivory-covered walls,"
the temptation is all too great to

blissfully ignore (or perhaps
honestly forget) the "earthier
elements" of Decatur, Georgia.
They do not forget us so easily.

My suggestions are (1) that the
college install additional lights,
particularity around the hockey
field area and Campbell; and (2)
that students remain conscious of
our immediate environment and
exercise a prudent amount of
caution when contemplating a
lone jone across the hockey field
at night.

To the Editor:

Some suggest that Agnes Scott
should go on a semester system.
Because of the high cost and lack
of transportation, it is hard now
for our students to take courses
at Emory. If we went on a
semester system, it would be
virtually impossible, since Emory
is on the quarter system. My
suggestion is that we go on a
100% quarter system and that we
match our quarters and exam
periods with Emory's. The fact
that many of the top women's
colleges are trying to cooperate
and interact more with their
surrounding colleges and

universities should at least
motivate us to think twice before
we proceed in the opposite
direction.

**

A frequently heard suggestion
around campus is that Agnes
Scott should lower its admission
standards in order to increase its
declining enrollments. In my
opinion, this procedure is
shortsighted and would be or is
highly detrimental to the college.
I think parents of top caliber
students will not pay the
premium to send their daughters
to Agnes Scott if it is composed
of mostly mediocre students.

Parents of students having lesser
academic ability will undoubtly
give great consideration to
sending their daughters to one of
the many excellent junior
colleges where the tuition is only
a fraction of ours. Rather than
lower our standards, I think we
should give careful consideration
to those individuals and
committees which are advocating
L that we advertise more and 2.
that we do a "cost accounting"
type evaluation of our
expenditures and income.

The Library: Its Role in
the Liberal Arts

by ann McMillan

The primary concern of the Agnes Scott Library, When asked about the need to keep books that

as expressed by head librarian Mr. George Stewart, have not been checked out since the twenties, Mr.

is that it functions as an integral part of the liberal Stewart stated that a careful going-over of these

arts idea. This concern expresses itself in the books with the faculty is needed to determine their

selection of books, the operation of the honor usefulness,
system, and the "atmosphere" of the library.

APRIL 9,1971

PROFILE

Books are generally chosen at the requests of
teachers in each department, and sometimes by
student requests, with the library staff
supplementing and developing the research and
reference area. Librarians work closely with the
faculty in order to balance selection.

The size of the student body and the limited
space available enforce a certain amount of
selectiveness. A work is judged by its usefulness to
the classes being taught and, in the case of the
liberal arts education, how much it will further
develop the student's life. Volumes are included
that deal with areas which are not taught here
but are contingent, such as geology or architecture.
Books are selected with "emphasis on quality
rather than quantity," and to meet "permanent
needs of existing and contemplated courses," as
well as "to expand individuals."

The survey on use of the library has not led to
any change in hours, although, as a result of a
suggestion by C.A.P., the library will remain open
to 10:30 on Saturdays during exams. No plans have
been made to keep the library open after 10:30 on
week nights because of the librarians who have to
drive home alone, some of whom have families.

Asked about theft in he library, especially of
reserve books, Mr. Stewart commented "there is
always theft in a library. There are no easy
solutions.* He suggested that one way to cut down
on theft if to have several copies of a reserve book
that is going to be used by many people in course.
Mr. Stewart hopes to increase the comfort of the
library facilities by adding new shelving, renovatr
furnishing, and having pictures, paintings, and
display stands. "One of the things 1 want to do is
try to make the library a more appealing area for
study for students and faculty."

Yeats Seen
as Politician

"Nationalism" provided the
theme for Irish Senator Michael
Yeats' speech, "William Butler
Yeats: The Public Man." Senator
Yeats, son of the late poet and
political figure from Ireland,
presented this address last
Tuesday evening in Presser Hall.

Although he admitted that he
never had close contact with his
father, Senator Yeats depicted
the man as being a "devout
nationalist" who acted somewhat
as a revolutionary in his youth.
However, the poet always
supported "the established
order," said Yeats, and became
increasingly conservative with
age.

According to this address
William Yeats' first concern was
building a strong sense of
national unity and pride in
Ireland. He directed his literary
talents toward this aim, using as
his basis his theory that "there
can be no fine literature without
nationality and no nationality
without fine literature." As a
youth he was a "propagandist,"
said Yeats, while after his
election to the Irish Parliament
he became a clever and eager
"committeeman," working for
unity through constitutional
means until his retirement at age
63.

After tracing his father's life in
the political, nationalistic field
the Senator quoted the man,
retired and reflecting upon his
political life, as saying "My
horror of the cruelty of
government grows increasingly
greater."

Upon conclusion of his
prepared speech Senator Yeats
answered questions on current
politics in Ireland. When asked

about the recent riots over
uniting the two "partitioned"
sections of his country (north
Ireland is currently under British
control while south Ireland is
independent), Senator Yeats saw
as the main obstacle to unity the
fears of religious discrimination.
"We have no intention of solving
the problem by force," he said.
"We want a unity of people, not
a unity of territory."

Yeats predicted that Ireland
would unite eventually but not in
the near future.

Student
Opinion

by CINDY HARVEY

To me Easter means new
springtime hope in joyous
blossoms. It adds feeling from the
powerful life of Christ Jesus in
me. Martin Luther expressed it
well by saying, "Our Lord has
written the promise of the
ressurection, not in books alone,
but in every leaf in springtime."

Easter's special significance
springs from the resurrection of
Jesus. It is one special day that
renews the freshness of each day
being an everlasting beginning in
the Lord. Easter means freshness
and new life.

Every fresh green growth
shouts about new life after death.
This new life is exciting to me.
Phillips Brooks wrote, "The great
Easter truth is not that we are to
live newly after death-that is not
the great thing-but that we are to
be new here and now by the
power of the resurrection."

The resurrection of Jesus
distinguishes Christianity from
any other great religion. No other
religious founder walked on earth
after his death. The Bible says,
"Jesus Christ our Lord, who
came as a human baby, born into
King David's royal family line,

The Student Profile

Cynthia Newton : Scott's Own Ballerina

by PRISCILLA OFFEN

Ballet, to the dancer, is a labor of love. It is labor because of the
many hours of practice needed to achieve the discipline that must
accompany the ballet. For example, a dancer must maintain a
physical condition comproble to that of a top athlete. The repetition
of the same bar exercises and steps may seem tedious, but they work
to achieve the perfection of movement of the ballerina. With each
plie' a dancer can learn still more about skill and technique.

Yet the dance goes beyond this labor. The sheer beauty of the
ballet, its intrinsic aesthetic value, can appeal to the inner being of a
dancer. Ballet can then rise to that which is a part of pure art.

Cynthia Newton, a senior at Scott, knows much about this "labor
of love. " She has studied ballet since she was eight years old, or for
about 13 years. Her training began in Florida and was continued at
the Atlanta School of Ballet when her family moved to Atlanta about
seven years ago.

When asked how she became interested in dance, Cynthia replied
that she became fascinated with the dancers on television. In the
second grade she decided that she wanted a pair of toe shoes for her
own. Her grandparents took her to a shoe store where, of course,
they refused to sell her any toe shoes but did sell her a pair of ballet
shoes.

As a child Cynthia, like many girls, had the idea of simply putting
on a pair of toe shoes and "tripping lightly across the floor. "And to
the viewer ballet does appear so effortless that it is no wonder many
people are deceive d.Paradoxically, achieving this effortlessness
involves much work.

Cynthia came to Scott because she wanted to stay in Atlanta and
perform with the apprentice company of the Atlanta Ballet. She also
felt that Scott had the strongest dance department of any school in
the area. However, she admitted that at first she did poorly at college.
Due to the work involved in dancing Cynthia found it hard to keep
up with the academics. Occasionally she fell asleep in class; Cynthia
recalls one day when she fell asleep while taking a math test and
consequently failed it. At that point her concerned parents informed
her that she must choose between the ballet and school.

For Cynthia such

(Ed. Note: Cynthia Newton certainly
cannot be the only ASC student who
possesses and uses special interests and
talents. If you feel that some other student
or alumna also has an especially noteworthy
talent, hobby or job-other- than reading 200
pages of history in 30 minutes flat-leave a
note in Box 764. Be sure to include her
name, class, address and "talent" as well as
your name for reference.)

a decision was extremely difficult-she was a
devoted dancer, but a career in dancing seemed too uncertain. She
decided to stay in school and to stop ballet. In order to keep in shape
for her work in dance group, however, she participated in classes at
the Decatur School of Ballet during her sophomore year. Her
technique began to improve, and she is now a member of their
company.

Cynthia currently takes more dance than she ever has and at the
same time is getting her school work done. She attributes this
progress to better management of her time, a "load" of only four
courses (many of which are in her major field, sociology), and an
interest in the courses she takes.

She feels that education if important, even to a dancer. The ideal
arrangement, she commented, would be not only to major in dance
but also to take academic subjects. Cynthia noted that her work with
the dance group at Scott has given her another dimension to dance.
She found that ballet is often concerned with technique as opposed
to the freedom of movement which the modern dance of the dance
group gives her.

When asked about her future in dance, Cynthia said that she does
want to do something with the art. She will not be able to perform,
she feels, because she is 5'9" tall-a ballerina of that height almost
always must become a soloist. She also has doubts about teaching
ballet, although her viewpoint could change.

Cynthia may enter professional ballet through chureology, which
involves the translation of dance movements into symbols on paper.
However, Cynthia concluded her speculations on her future after
graduation by stating, "I haven 7 ruled out anything. "

J. Jaunt

(Continued from page 1 )

And the seniors donated $lt>8
with $87 raised by their projects.
This money will be used to pay
the $400 salary of the college
student, and any remaining
money will be used for arts and
crafts material and food for the
children.

Although most o f the
happenings during Junior Jaunt
were planned, there were a few
"spur of the moment" events.
The auctioning of Carolyn Cox's
annotated copy of The Loving
Book, sold to the freshman class
for $20, was one of such events.
Also, the talent show was
brought to an end with Beth
Budd singing "Sweet Thing' 1 at
the order of her "master" Mary
Lu Benton. Following the talent
show, the faculty raffle and bake
sale became a hub party,
summing up the spirit of the
entire evening.

Bloodmobile
Visits April 13

On Tuesday, April 13, Athletic
Association will sponsor a
bloodmobile visit to the campus
from 1 :30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. in
the Rebekah Reception Room.
All Agnes Scott and Columbia
Theology Seminary students,
faculty and staff are invited to
participate in the annual visit.

According to Betty Noble,
bloodmobile chairman, the quota
for this visit is 250 units of
blood. "The quota, which is set
by the Atlanta Regional Red
Cross Blood Center, is based
upon a variety of things and
represents only 25 percent of the
student body, faculty and staff.
If we meet the quota then all of
these people and their families
will be protected for their blood
needs for one full year.

Red Cross officials say that
almost anyone between the ages
of 18 and 21 who weighs at least
1 10 pounds and is in good health
can give blood. It is a simple
process, taking about a half an
hour from registration to having a
cup of juice after your donation.

Students Run Courses At Cornell University

Ithaca, N. Y.-(I.P.)-The
following is a report of a faculty
committee of the College of Arts
and Sciences on student-initiated
and student-run courses at
Cornell University.

Excerpts: A student-run course
is one in which students
undertake to teach themselves.
They may, and Ln practice usually
do, ask for faculty assistance, for
instance in the form of lectures,
but they make themselves
responsible for planning,
content, methods and conduct of
the course.

Ordinarily, a student-run
course is not one in which a
student (necessarily less
qualified) undertakes to play the
role of the professor, but one in
which the group as a whole seeks
the best ways to instruct itself.

The search for appropriate
materials and approaches is part
of the educational content of the
course. Students teaching
themselves in such courses should
not, we think, be paid as though
they were faculty.

On the other hand, it may

happen that an advanced student
may function as a teacher of
others in the usual sense,
conducting a course in which his
knowledge of the subject is
comparable to that of a faculty
member, or even, in highly
specialized branches, superior to
that of available faculty
members; in the present system,
such students, after due
establishment of their
qualifications, are appointed and
remunerated as Teaching
Assistants.

A fair share of self-instruction
takes place, happily, in the
ordinary workings of the College
seminars. Honors tutorials, and
ii td up Mid en I study aie devices for
encouraging it.

ln these examples, the role of
the faculty is to assist and advise;
to ensure that the subject will not
be approached in an entirely
untutored or naive way; to help
students judge how much of a
subject they have learned, and
how well they can expound it.

We believe that the faculty
should assist, in a similar way, in

the conception and conduct of
student-run courses.

Why should there be
student-run courses at ail? As a
practical matter, because some
worthwhile subjects may
otherwise not be taught. For
example, the procedure for a
student initiated course may end
in an impasse with no teacher
available.

Beyond that, one can invoke
the same advantages as for
student proposed courses
(students taking the initiative in
their own education, curricular
innovation); in a student-run
course students take the main
responsibility for what happens,
and that can be valuable
educational experience.

In such courses equals may
teach each other without
competition and free discussion
can bring a variety of perspectives
into play.

Student-run courses have their
own characteristic problems.
They tend to be inefficient and
wasteful of time and effort; that
is a relatively minor difficulty

Steele Explains Procedures

Scott Seeks Students

Miss Laura Steele, Director of
Admissions and Registrar,
prepared the following comments
for the Profile in response to
questions about the general
student recruiting program of the
college.

Question: How do most students
become interested in Agnes
Scott?

Answer:, Students interested in
Agnes Scott frequently become
so through talking with present
students; talking with members
of the admissions staff at college
night programs; discussing college
plans with counselors, parents,
and alumnae; reading material
about colleges; and obtaining
specific information directly
from the college. Many come to
the college for an appointment
and campus tour, and frequently
stay long enough to visit a class
or two. They like to stay
overnight in a dormitory, and we
arrange this whenever possible.

Questim : How does the college
make contracts with the schools
visited by the recruiters?

Answer: We have an enlarged
admissions staff this year which
enables us to do more school
visiting and attend more college
nights. Some of our school
contacts are made through special
school-college conferences
arranged at national meetings (for
example, the National
Association of College
Admissions Counselors in Boston
this past fall, and the National
Association for Principals of
Schools for Girls in New York
this spring). With two full-time

staff people who can travel this
year, we have enlarged the travel
program.

Question: Where have the
recruiters' travels taken them?

Answer: Druing the period
September-November 1970, 113
schools in 59 cities or towns in
eight states were visited. Many of
these were in Georgia because our
presence is expected at numerous
college nights held during the fall
months. Travels this year have
included schools (public, private,
and parochial) in the Southeast,
as well as Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky, Arkansas, and Texas.

We want students from other
geographical areas, and at the
same time we must keep in touch
wfth those in our natural
constituency-and this is more
than two people can do
adquately.

Question: Does the college
actively seek minority students?

We are seeking minority
(disadvantaged) students. We
have cooperated with the regional
College Board office in Atlanta in
Project Access (for black
students) and are registered with
the National Scholarship Service
and Fund for Negro Students.
NSSFS furnishes profiles of black
students to the various colleges
registered with it, and is
conducting a full day of
interviewing with high school
juniors in Atlanta, in April. We
will have a table at that time.

Question: What are some of the
qualifications the Admissions

Committee considers when
reviewing an application?

Answer: We are not concerned
with a student's ethnic origin,
geographical location, or religious
preference in making admissions
decisions. We are making every
attempt to admit students who
can be successful in the academic
program and who can also be
contributing members of the
college community. We are
interested in evidence of
intellectual curiosty, motivation,
integrity, emotional maturity,
achievement in academic work.

Evaluations of teachers and
counselors are essential parts of
each applicant's admission
credentials. An interview with a
member of the admissions staff is
recommended, but not required.

Question: Who sets admission
requirements?

Answer: Admissions,
requirements axe, as stated in the
Bylaws of the College, set by the
Academic Council. General
policies and procedures that are
followed in carrying out
requirements for admission are
formulated by the Admissions
Committee. Requirements are
not too rigid to permit flexibility
in administering the program.
There is continual re-appraisal of
the admissions situation with
respect to national trends and to
the desirability (for the
applicant's sake) of some
uniformity in procedures. Foi
example, the College has for
many years subscribed to the
Candidates Reply Date of the
College Board, which means that

and careful advance organization
can hold it within reasonable
limits.

The "leadership-vacuum"
problem is more serious, and
attacks to the very nature of such
courses; we have no ready
solution, but again, one can urge
a very clear conception, at the
outset, of what the course
purports to accomplish.
The most serious difficulty has
to do with the notion of what
constitutes a proper academic
subject. Some leaders of the
racism course believe that when
students want to study
something, that fact alone makes
the subject in question a
legitimate academic one.

We do not agree. Nor are we
convinced of the value of the
experiment, outlined at the end
of th^ir report, which would
consist of giving (large numbers
ofJ students credit in advance,
to see what subjects they would
thereupon elect to study.

The experiment seems trivial,
since line results can be predicted
from common sense and from the
experience of bulletin-board
courses and the history of small,
very liberal arts colleges: some
students will elect substantial
topics, and others frivolous ones;
some students will work hard,
and others do nothing.

Accreditation, indeed, is the
sensitive point. All agree that
much that is best in education

takes place outside the classroom.
Students are presumably free to
teach each other, not for credit,
anything they like; the university
should stand ready to help them,
within reason.

Academic "credit" is an elusive
concept, and comes in for much
quizzical speculation in a time
when many people are unhappy
with the idea of measured-out
education.

What student-run courses
should be accredited? Again, we
have not approached the problem
by attempting definitions of
academic worth, but by
suggesting who, in each case,
might decide.

Our model, this time, is indeed
the graduate committee: we
assume intellectual responsibility
in the faculty at large, and
suggest that if a group of students
manages to persuade three
faculty members that it has a
considered plan for teaching
itself, as a class, a legitimate
subject, that is proof enough that
the proposed student-run course
might be accredited through the
normal procedures.

The decision will thus be
prepared by a dialogue between
faculty and students which
cannot help but be instructive;
the burden of proving seriousness
and thoughtfulness will be on the
students; the faculty will exercise
its own function in what seems to
us one proper way.

City Remains Dry

by CATHY

DeKalb County wet?! No, not
completely. On November 10,
1970, an ordinance was passed
which allowed for the sale of beer
and wine in unincorporated area
of DeKalb County. However,
there are nine incorporated areas
of DeKalb which include
Decatur, Chamblee, Doraville,
Clarkston, Pine Lake, Lithonia,
Stone Mountain, Avondale, and a
section of Atlanta known as
Atlanta-Decatur.

Beer and wine can now be sold
in the unincorporated sections at
retail prices in eating
establishments which accomodate
at least fifty persons and in
grocery stores and
"minit-markets," all of which
must pass the State Public Health
inspections.

Effective January, 1971, was
another ordinance allowing for
the sale of beer and wine in
private clubs of the
unincorporated areas of DeKalb
County. These private clubs are
defined as ''veterans
organizations, fraternal

PIDGEON

organizations, and organizations
of purely public charity." (Ed
note: Everybody down to the
nearest Salvation Army home!)
These organizations do not have
to operate a food establishment
in order to sell beer and wine.
The laws pertaining to minors,
those persons under twenty-one
years of age, still hold true.

Since Decatur will remain dry
for the present, Scott rules
concerning liquor will apparently
remain unchanged.

The Agnes Scott Handbook
states: "Students are prohibited
from the possession or use of
alcoholic beverages on the Agnes
Scott campus and at functions
sponsored by Agnes Scott
College." The first violation of
this rule is referred to Dorm
Council, the second to Interdorm
Council, and subsequent
violations are handled by Honor
Court. However, the student may
appeal a judicial decision by any
of these courts to the next higher
court and ultimately to the SGA.

no student (with the exception of
those admitted on Early
Decision) is required to commit
herself to the college before May
1.

The most recent major change
that required Academic Council
action was the granting under

certain conditions of advanced
standing credit for entering
freshmen who took college-level
courses in high school and who
made honor grades of 4 or 5
College Board Advanced
Placement Examinations.

A JOINT TREATY OF PEACE
BETWEEN THE PEOPLE
OF THE UNITED STATES, SOUTH VIET NAM & NORTH VIET NAM

The People's Peace Treaty was
formulated i and signed by
American and North Vietnamese
students several weeks ago. Since

that time the treaty has been
circulated in campuses
throughout the United States and
has received hundreds of

endorsements from college
students and professors. The
PROFILE is reprinting this treaty
for your information and
evaluation.

W IT PODDY-rilE ALREADY DT ,

PRINCIPLES OF THE JOINT TREATY OF PEACE

AMERICANS agree to immediate and total withdrawal from Viet Nam, and publicly to set the date by

which ail U.S. military forces will be removed.

Vietnamese agree to participate in an immediate ceasefire with U.S. forces, and will enter
discussions on the procedure to guarantee the safety of all withdrawing troops, and to secure
release of all military prisoners.

AMERICANS pledge to stop imposing Thieu, Ky and Khiem on the people of Viet Nam in order to ensure
their right to self-determination, and to ensure that all political prisoners are released.

Vietnamese pledge to form a provisional coalition government to organize democratic elections,
in which all South Vietnamese can participate freely without the presence of any foreign
troops, and to enter discussions of procedures to guarantee the safety and political freedom of
persons who cooperated with either side in the war.

AMERICANS a*id VIETNAMESE agree to respect the independence, peace and neutrality of Laos and

Cambodia.

Upon these points of agreement, we pledge to end the war in Viet Nam. We will resolve all
other questions In mutual respect for the rights of self-determination of the people of Viet Nam
and of the United States.

As Americans ratifying this agreement, we pledge to take whatever actions are appropriate to implement the
terms of this joint treaty of peace, and to ensure its acceptance by the government of the United States.

Research at ASC

Currently several studies are being made (by several of those
ever-present committees) on the "purposes" of Agnes Scott College.
As these committees search for the reasons behind the existence of
this college, may I suggest that they peek into the Winter, 1971, issue
of the Agnes Scott ALUMNAE QUARTERLY. They will find therein
an article by Assistant Professor Alice Cunningham dealing with
research projects and methods on the ASC campus and their effects
upon faculty and students. Although Miss Cunningham's article, 'The
Fourth 4 R'-Research," uses primarily research techniques in the
department of chemistry as examples, the final paragraphs of the
report and a later conversation with her emphasized that several other
departments on campus are also involved in research projects. This
fact was rather surprising to me; apparently research has been a small
undercurrent in the academic system for some time now.

What does this observation on research have to do with the purpose
of ASC? In simple terms, research is a vital link to fulfilling its role an
an institution of "higher learning." Research should not be an
undercurrent; it must be a direct result of the ideals and aims which
form the college.

Anyone can learn facts by reading and memorizing textbooks;
colleges are unnecessary if teaching facts comprises their major
purpose. The existence of a college, then, indicates that there exists
an educational realm beyond "facts," and the college must remain
continually aware of this realm if the process of higher education is
to be distinct and worthwhile.

What this "realm" consists of is hard to define, for it contains the
connections between the facts, the past history of the textbooks, and
the confusing, unexplained problems and attitudes which concern
today' s world. Any college or university, including ASC, should be
devoted to searching for and analyzing these connections as well as
testing the application of new information and concepts arising
fromtheir discovery.

Research provides the greatest opportunity for serious, intensive
exploration into the realm beyond facts. Like the colleges and
universities which use it, research plays an indispensible role in the
progress of humanity and the changes of society.

Agnes Scott College is in an excellent position to become more
involved in research. Much actual and potential intellectual curiosity
and excellence floats around the campus in all sorts of shapes and
sizes. In addition, the college is surrounded by other excellent
universities with more research facilities and information. Through
the University Center some type of a cooperative research system
might be established, and everyone would benefit.

The major advantage of research on the ASC campus, however,
concerns the students. In universities professors often lock themselves
in research rooms, forgetting that students exist; students soon forget
that professors, education, and research exist. However, there are
very few doors at ASC which remain locked if students decide they
prefer it unlocked. Students here have the opportunity to question
professors in order to (I) find out what projects are ing progress at
present (2) suggest new projects of research, and (3) get valuable
insight and experience into the reasons behind learning the facts.

As long as committees are busy determining the purpose of / gnes
Scott College, they might also determine the purpose of research in
the purpose of the college. Perhaps they will find that one cannot
survive without the other.

NSA-Non-Violent
Civil Disobedience

STATEMENT OF DAVID lFSHiN, PRESIDENT,
NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION

The United State National Student Association
joins with other forces within t lie student
movement in calling for a nation-wide Moratorium
on May 5-in memory of our fellow students who
were murdered last year at Jackson State College
and Kent State University, while opposing the war
in Indochina and the ppresive conditions in this
country.

Last year the promises of the Nixon
Administration that the war was winding down
were shockingly exposed by the illegal invasion of
Cambodia. Today, after still adnother invasion, the
war drags on in the futile attempt to prop up a
facist military junta against the will of the
Vietnamese and American peoples.

The National Student Association is calling for a
full Spring calander of activity around the country
in opposition to the illegal and immoral aims of the
"Nixon Doctrine" and the so-called
"Vietnamization" program. We urge our fellow
students to come to Washington, D.C. on April 24,
to demand a complete end of our involvement in
Indochina, and to participate in the non-violent
civil disobedience planned for later that week.

For those who are unable to come to
Washington, we urge that they help to organize a
nation-wide cessation of "business as usual" on
May 5-in order to take the People's Peace Treaty,
which has been signed by the National Student
Union's of South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the
United States-to their communities. The treaty
allows for a simple and just end to our involvement
in Indochina, politically and militarily, leaving the
p ople of that area free to determine their own
destiny.

The Atlanta Mobilization
Committee is coordinating the
efforts of all persons and groups
in the Southeast that wish to
attend the Anti-War Rally' in
Washington, D C. on April 24.
The Committee has chartered a
number of buses to take students
to the demonstration in
Washington, and the round-trip
fare will be only $25. Contact the
Atlanta Mobilization Committee,
18 Younge Street, Atlanta
(Phone 525=9810) for further
information on this opportunity
to speak out jl 'list war in
Southeast Asia.

APRIL 21, 1971 PROFILE

Looking Back: Three Views of 70-71

Student Government Association

CAROLYN COX

Q.-What do you consider the major successes of the 1970-71 Rep.
Council 9

A.-I think the most general and most important thing that can be
said is that we were willing to work with problems and issues that had
not been considered systematically before. Perhaps our most popular
success was the complete revision of our election process. Also to be
noted are the projects we undertook to ascertain political opinions of
our students, to disseminate birth control information and to
promote community awareness of environmental dangers.

Our greatest achievement, however, was the fact that we were the
first body representing Agnes Scott students to go to record in active
protest to the war in Indochina anditscontinuing atrocities.
Q.-What do you consider the major failures?

A. -We failed to achieve any great degree of sustained dialogue with
a large portion of the student body.

Q.-Describe what you feel were the general responses of the student
body, the faculty, and the administration totheSGA and Rep Council
during your term.

A.-I think that students understood the fact that we saw our SGA
role as providing for students those services which they were unable
to provide for themselves ] dividually; their responses accorded with
this view. The administration treated us with the candor and mutual
respect which made our relationship constructive, effective, and
cordial.

Responses from members of the faculty showed the widest possible
variety. In most cases, we received the support and cooperation that
could be properly and legitimately expected. In isolated cases,
however, the desires of some members of the faculty to be active and
influential in purely student political affairs was unwarranted,
unproductive, and unbecoming.

Q.-If you had a "second chance" to lead the SGA and Rep Council
again, what would you do differently the second time?

A.-I don't think that we ever adequately conveyed to the faculty
study committee the genuine feeling of urgency which students have
for fundamental academic reform. Our administration began with a
call for candid and far-reaching reevaluation and reform, and it
remained our highest priority. Our offers to provide assistance to the
committee and our attempts to keep informed of its progress did not
fully discharge our obligation to represent the interests of the student
body. If I were given a second chance, I would appoint an SGA task
force to compile a companion study basedon the widest and fairest
possible representation of student opinion.

Q.-Which projects and aims begun during your term would you like
to see continued by the incoming government?

A.-I hope that the interest we expressed in community involvement
and leadership via the Committee on Community Affairs will be
strengthened and that the Board of Student Activities will emerge as
the missing link we need in campus coordintion and communication.
I also hope that the new SGA administration will continued the effort
we made in conjunction with the student members of the Lecture
Committee to insure that future lecture schedules accurately reflect
the expressed desires and preferences of our study body for
contemporaiy, stimulating, and provocative lectures.

Q.-lf you had a "second chance" to lead Honor Court again, what
would you do differently the second time?

A. -Given the same set of circumstances, I wold make no major
changes in my goals or my methods. I would, perhaps, have made a
greater effort, to guarantee that ALL faculty members understood
our procedures, our penalties, and our belief in the confidentiality of
every case.

Q.-Which projects and aims begun during your term would you like
to see continued by the incoming Honor Court?

A. -Our board attempted to judge each case fairly and impartially .
More importanly, we tried to instill in the Student Body our belief in
the value of the Honor System. 1 hope these goals will be continued.

Specificially, I believe that Honor Court 1971-72 must begin a
critical evaluation of Agnes Scott's Honor System. Honr Court will
need to ask; Is the Honor Court working now? Do we want an Honor
System at all? If so, what kind? Honor Court will ask the questions,
the campus community must supply the answers.

Angie also made these additional comments:

"If I had stood before the student body sometime during the past
year and proposed that we do away with the Honor System, I would
have felt the repercussions from administration, faculty, and students
alike. Realizingwhat would be forfeited, everyone would probably
have fought to preserve the Honor System. Yet in everyday
circumstances the campus community is willing to rock along,
expecting Honor Court to maintain the system and blaming Honor
Court if, in some instances, it fails.

"Ten members of Honor Court cannot and will not be police,
judge, and jury for a campus of some 800 souls. Honor Court is
willing I think, to be instrument of preservation or change. The
ultimate responsibility for suggesting improvements anc 1
implementing the solution rests with the entire campus community.'

The Male Ego

Males who think well of
themselves date prettier girls
than those with inferiority
complexes, according to the
April SCIENCE DIGEST. In a
study at Connecticut College,
men who were told they were
doing well on a fake
intelligence test tried to date
the prettier of two women
colleagues of the examiner.
Men who were told they were
doing poorly tried to date the
less attractive
girl.

Honor Court

ANGIE JARRETT

Q.-What do you consider the major successes of the 1970-71 Honor
Court?

A. -In April 1970, the most pressing task which confronted Honor
Court was the organization of a new board. We successfully
completed our internal organization and established workable
channels of communications with the other judicial bodies^ We took
advantage of the "clean slate" with which we started, disregarding
any precedents set by the old Judicial Council.

*ost importantly, we attempted to establish Honor Court as a
board worthy of the respect of students, faculty, and administration.
By so doing, we hoped to strengthen the Honor System on this
campus. I feel that we were for the most part successful
Q.-What do you consider the major failures?

A. -We apparently did not establish an adequate understanding with
a few faculty members as to Honor Court's role on campus and the
way our Honor System functions. I cannot believe that the lack of
communication was entirely a failure on the part of Honor Court,
however. On the whole our student-faculty relations were excellent.

Q.-Describe what you feel were the general responses of the study
body, the faculty, and the administration to Honor Court during
your term.

A. -In general we received great co-operation from faculty and
administration. The students whose cases we handled seemed satisfied
with the fairness and the discretion of the board.

Interdormitory Council

MARYLU BENTON

Q.-What do you consider the major successes of the 1970-71
Interdormitory Council?

A.-I feel that one of the major successes of the 1970-71
Interdormitory Council has been in the smooth implementation of
the new social regulations which came into effect this fall. New
policies, such as the sign out policy, required new procedures and

education of students as to the mechanics of a different system. I
feel that the system has worked exceptionally well this year. We also
have been working in the dormitories with change S' brought about by
decentralization of the Dean's office. As the first Interdormitory
Council I feel that we made a good start in establishing a board with a
major function on campus.

Q.-What do you consider the major failures?

A.-I am sorry that this year, as part of the decentralization and
open lobbies, it was necessary for Dormitory Council members to
cover hours at the hostess desks in the dormitoties. The Dorm
Council members were exceptionally cooperative in this matter and
deserve many thanks for their service in keeping the lobbies open
for the convenience of all in the dormitories. Hostess duty has been
eliminated, however, as one of the duties of Dorm Council members
for the 1 97 1-72 session. I also had hoped that this year we could have
worked out a feasible plan for the dormitories being open for male
visitors on special occasions.

Q.-Describe what you feel were the general responses of thestudent
body, the faculty, and the administration to Interdormitory Council
during your term.

A. -The response and cooperation of the student body and
administration was excellent. Without the responsbile cooperation of
the student body, the new policies which we now live under so
naturally would have failed. The Dorm presidents and their councils
have been most efficient and responsible in carrying out their duties
under many hardships. In working closely with the Dean of Students
Office we have always found complete cooperation and and help in
solving problems of all sort in the residential units.

Q.-If you had a "second chance" to lead Interdormity Council again,
what would you do differently the second time?

A.-As I have said, I would have tried to alleviate Dorm Council's
hostess duty earlier and tried to have the dorms open for a
weekend. 1 really cannot say what I would do differently other than
this because, in facing so many new siutations we had many
alternatives with no set precedences. Because of action. If given the
same choices today we might have arrived at adifferentdecision.

Q.-Which projects and aims begun during your termwouldyou like to
see continued by the incoming Interdomitory Council?

A.-I hope that the new Interdormitory Council will evaluate the
presentsystems of regulation enforcement (the point system), sign
out (especially for freshmen), and elections of dorm council members
and modify these in the waysthey seem necessary. I hope that they
will continue to recognize the importance of the Dormitory Councils
as the basic unit on which all judicial and executive power and
influence of Interdodormitory Council depends.

Considered
a Cottage?

by CATHY PIDGEON

With elections behind us
and with eager anticipation, it
is time to begin thinking
about where to live next year
on campus. Most everyone is
familiar with dorm life and all
its happy and not so happy
times, but have you ever
considered living in a cottage?
There are several cottages on
campus (Hardeman, Sturgis,
Gaines, McCain, Alexander,
and Bowen), however not all
are in use at the present time.

There are both
disadvantages and advantages
to living in a cottage, although
the advantages seem to
outweigh the disadvantages.
The major disadvantage seems
to be that those living in
cottages feel isolated from
campus life and do not have a
good opportunity to meet the
freshmen. This problem can
be alleviated through becoming
active in student organizations
and clubs. Although all the
cottages face South Candler
Street, a rather busy street, no
one complains of intrusion
from outsiders, except an
occasional Girl Scout selling
cookies.

By living in a cottage a
student tends to feel more
relaxed and more independent
with more privacy. A great
amount of cooperation is
necessary in answering the
telephones and doorbells and

in maintaining a favorable
atmosphere for studying.
Most ail those in cottages will
agree that the group becomes
a very close-knit group.
Coming back to a cottage
from classes is like coming
back to a home.

Drawings for a room
assignments will be made later
this spring. Generally,
upperclassmen are given
preference for a cottage.

During winter quarter students notice wide-eyed
girls and their not-so-awed parents wandering about
the ASC campus. Usually they are being led by a
smiling Scottie, courtesy of the ASC Admissions
Office.

Campus tours for prospective students are
arranged through the Office of the Registrar. A
team of six student guides, headed by juniors
Margaret Guirkin and Beatie Divine, handle most of
the official tours. Sophomore guides include
Cynthia Wilkes, Andy Hankins, Marcia Knight, and
Beth Hammond.

Besides showing the main buildings on campus,
the guides, of course, answer a myriad of questions
concerning social life, academics, and admission
requirements. Beth Hammond noted that \we were
instruced at the beginning of the quarter to answer
all questions honestly according to our own
feelings." Questions on admissions, including the
common "What is the average SAT score?" are
usually referred to Miss Steele.

One interesting comment made by both Marcia
Knight and Margaret Guirkin is that parents,
especially mothers, are often more concerned about
the opportunity to date than are their daughters.

JORDAN

The parents are also interested in late hours, sign
out, and dormitory rules. Beth added that the
true-confessional "Why did you decide to come to
Scott" is a regular on the list.

Slips of memory, especially names, are most
embarassing for Marcia Knight, who once had to
chaperone a stranded father off second Walters.
Margaret Guirkin finds it hardest to give tours
"when people aren't really interested-bored girls
can be really rough-worse than social-minded
mothers." Recently Beth was surprised when a
supposed long-lost friend showed up for an
interview and tour. The "friend" reminisced for
over an hour about the friends with whom they
used to play and the "good old days." Funny
thing-Beth still doesn't know exactly who the girl
is!

One innovation this year was letters written by
the guides and the Dana Scholars to girls who
applied and also those accepted on the Early
Decision Plan. Some began a regular
correspondence mainly answering questions which
come up before regular orientation correspondence
begins. Beth and Marcia both questioned the
effectiveness of this plan, but both received
responses and enjoyed answering the letters.

Madrigal
Singers

The Agnes Scott Madrigal
Singers, sponsored by the Music
Department, was organized two
years ago by Nancy Weaver and
Marty Perkerson. Other members
in the group include Camilla
Brannen, Dorra Drake, Alice
Faulkner, Janet Sarbaugh, Pam
Todd, and Mary Beaty Watkins.
Lou Minor is the accompanist.
The group practices twice a week
for one and half hours.

The Madrigal Singers have sung
at the Glee Club concerts, and
went with the Glee Club on their
tour last year to sing at Davidson
andWofford Around Atlanta, the
group has performed for a civic
group, for various churches, and
for the students at Georgia Tech.

Madrigals date back to
fifteenth and sixteenth century
Europe. The word originally from
the Italian for "flock" has come
to mean small groups for singing.
The sacred music, often
unaccompanied, dates back to
the Baroque and Renaissance
periods. The secular music
consists of the folk songs sung
during these same periods. The
subject matter, usually light and
adhering to a strict poetic form,
can cover anything from lovers to
chickens. The Madrigal Singers
have also sung a few songs by
modern composers written in a
modern style combined with the
Baroque style.

Each dance in this Spring
Concert has developed as an
expression of a different theme
or as an experiment with the
various elements of the dance,
such as shape, movement, space,
and time span. One dancer
improvised the expression of an
emotional gesture. Another entire
dance, "Chairs," is structured
around different tempos of one
minimal dance study.

Those interested in more
"traditional" dance movement
will enjoy a springtime dance
medley to the music of
"MacArthur Park." The dance
begins with flowing group
movement, lingers into a quiet
duet which is interrupted by a
jazz pattern, then breifly returns
to its beginning movement.
Breaking from the haunting
movement and sounds of
"MacArthur Park," African
drums and voices provide the
beat for an approach to primitive
dance.

Moving from the flowing and
light-hearted to the serious and
tense, the program ends with a
dance drama of Benjamin
Britten's "War Requiem."
Group silhouettes and the mass
movement of huddled bodies
conveying the terrible and
far-reaching effects of war are
broken by glimpses of particular
instances of personal suffering in
the aftermath. The movement,
lighting, and music all work
together toward a powerful
expression of human emotion in
the face of desolation.

Another musical event is in
store for the Agnes Scott
community in April. The Agnes
Scot Glee Club will present a
joint concert with the Georgia
Tech Glee club on Tuesday, April
27, and on Thursday, April 29.
The three joint works include
Bruckner's Te Deum, Benedictus,
by Giovanni Gabrielli, and a
Mass With Electronic Tape,
composed by Gregory Woolfe.

Bruckner's "Te Deum" is "a
landmark in choral literature
which is all too infrequently
performed," said Mr. Ted
Mathews, director of Agnes Scott
Glee Club. "Te Deum" was
composed for chorus and solo
quartet, and is a "one movement
work broken up into five
interdependent sections unified
by basic thematic material."
Bruckner, like many other
composers of the 19th century,

inside stretch tubes to produce idolized the opera composer,
dehumanized forms, while in a Richard Wagner. The Romantic
dance of mixed media, the example of Bruckner's respect for
dancers blend into burned slide Wagner can be found in one of
projections. "Number 1 2 Mix" is his themes used in

dance composedof determinate
and indeterminate movement:
some movement phrases are cet,
while others are left up to the
individual dancer. Such dances
are fascinating to watch, since
trite phrases are replaced by
unexpected movements, and the

elements of dance, the group will 0Dser ver becomes more acutely
present an improvisation with aware of the vario us elements of
emphasis on kinetic dance.

associated with the words "non

be found in other compositions,
such as Symphony No. 7. This
climactic theme suggests glory,
faith, andsalvation.

"Benedictus," by Gabrielli, is a
poly-choral work composed for
three choruses, with a total of
twelve parts. This compcsition
reflects the Counter-Reformation
in its spectacle. "Benedictus" was
composed for a chorus with
several choir lofts giving an

"The Mass With Electronic
Tape," by Gregory Woolfe,
was composed for mixed
voice, organ, and tape for the
Christ Episcopal Church in
Nashville, Tennessee. This is
"very definitely a 20th century
composition combining a variety
of influences from 'chant to
chance," said Mr Mathews. All
of the chorus parts are in
combination with the electronic
tape, and the chance elements
result from the fact that the ,
relationships between the chorus"
parts themselves are either in the
nature of a chant or of shifting
sound clusters.

In addition to the three joint
works, each glee club will
perform separately a few
compositions- The concert will be
held on Tuesday night, April 27,
at 8:15 at the Student Center at
Gerogia Tech and on Thursday
night, April 29, in Gaines at 8 : 1 5.

Rogers Leads
Brodie Cast

by SALLY MARTIN
publicity co-chairman of Blackfriars

Blackfriars is pleased to
announce that the cast of their
spring production, "The Prime of
Miss Jean Brodie" has been
chosen and rehearsals are
underway. Cast in the title role is
Pam Rogers, a sophomore. Susi
Parks will be playing Sandy;
Nancy Owen, Jenny; Becky
Miller, Monica; and Kathy Warne,
Mary McGregor.

Leading the list of men in the
production is Terry Kay,
well-known critic and writer for
the Atlanta Constitution. He has
been seen at Agnes Scott
previously in "The Crucible" in
1 96 9. And representing the
Agnes Scott College faculty will
be Mr. Richard Parry, who
portrays, surprisingly enough, Mr.
Parry, a newspaper reporter.

Miss Winter is back this quarter
as director and fearless leader;
Anne Dillard is working as

a

Blonde. He examines our
contemporary scene with a wit
and perception which results in a
highly entertaining movie.

The story concerns a sixteen
year old girl who runs away from
her comfortable home and
family, and the desperate and
agonizing search for her by her
parents in the hippies communes
of the East Village. This is a

situation which is not only
potentially but inherently
pathetic-Forman has the skill to
turn it around to make it funny
instead.

In the course of the search
Forman gazes uncomprisingly at
the audition of a young rock
singer and reveals both exploiter
and exploitee in a scene that is
alternately awful and hilarious. In
like manner, he presents a
meeting of the SPFC, "The
Society for the Parents of
Fugative Children", during which
all the parents show us much of
themselves and,smoking.

In the end the girl returns
home. She is accompanied by her
boyfriend, a rock/ folk singer who
rather mournfully informs them
all that the fortunes made from
his anti-war songs is, through
taxes, supporting the very war he
so vehmently opposes.

The story has a great assest in
its actors. Of particular note are
Buck Henry as the concerned and
perplexed father and Lynn Carlin
addition, Forman has used a large
group of actual Villagers who are
at times almost too real.

The action itself always hovers
on the edge of satire but is never
cruel or cutting. The warmth and
understanding, without
commercial sentimentality or
gimmicks, with which Forman
treats his subject makes for a
refreshing change-a movie that is
both entertainment and
enlightenment.

Earth Week, 1971

It's Earth Week. What afe^you going to do about it'

Obviously action is needed. Our environment is assaulting us
now-it deafens- our ears, it chokes us, and it will eventually kill us.
Every person can think of at least one example where pollution is
affecting his life, and every person must be aware that the pollution
will not disappear unless he does something about it. What are you
going to do about it?

April 18-24 is the week when you can join the entire nation in a
mass effort to fight back at pollution. Find out about pollution in
Georgia and the southeast U.S. by calling the Georgia Conservancy in
Atlanta or the Interagency Environmental Education Action Group
of Cobb County. They can inform you of the many lectures, exhibits,
and projects occuring during this week.

Once you know something about it, do something about it. Collect
glasscontainers and send them back to Coca-Cola Company, which is
paying one cent per pound, (the Redemption Center is located at
Williams and Eighth Street and is open from 8:30 to 3:30 Monday
through Saturday). Sell old paper to Atlanta Waste Paper (346 John
St., N.W., open Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 4:15). Reynolds
Aluminum will buy scrap aluminum (no seams on cans except for one
possible on the top, they say) at 1141 Ellsworth Drive, N.W., from
8:30 to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 from Monday through Friday.

If you ever have the opportunity, fly across the United States The
beauty and variety this country has to offer through its natural
resources is astounding and indescribably beautiful. Will our children
enjoy this same beauty and variety, or will we have successfully
destroyed most of the natural environment of the county through
carelessness, littering and tolerance of the people who are desecrating
scenic areas today?

It's Earth Week. It's time for us to look around.

It's pollution and environment.

It's here and it's happening now.

It's trying to kill us. We're killing ourselves.

Are you going to do something about it?

Or will you wait while it does something to you?

Scholarships Given Thorough Review
By ASC Scholarship Committee

Groups like this one were scattered throughout the campus last
week when the much-heralded "Loving Book" made its ASC
debut. Due to poor planning on someone's part there were not
enough copies for the entire campus , and many students were
forced to resort to "studying" in groups.

Performances Show Talent

Thursday evening, April 29, the
glee clubs of Agnes Scott and
Georgia Tech combined in
concert here. The ASC group
began with two of the selections
from the dedication ceremony
held Wednesday in convocation.
Next came "The Bell Song", a
surprise dedication to Mr. Jerry
L. Black, director of the Tech
Glee Club. Mr. Black is getting
married Saturday. "Immorality",
a fast, lighthearted song, might
possibly be described as a jazzy
chorale. It proves that different
styles of harmony and rhythm
can be combined successfully.

The transition fron one group
to another presented quite a
contrast. After the Scotties had
marched off singing "God of the
Marching Centuries," the men
came on with "I'm a Ramblin'
Reck from Georgia Tech." Their
versatility was evident as they
sang a beautiful piece of
renaissance religious music,
accompanied by two clarinets.
Other types of music included a
dirge and a rollicking marching
song.

The clubs joined to sing the
very traditional "Benedictus" by
Giovanni Gabrielli and the very
modern "Mass With Electronic
Tape" by Gregory Woolf. The
latter used the regular mass lyrics
set to eerie musical sounds. The
high point and major

presentation of the concert was
Bruckner's grand and majestic
"Te Deum". It, like all the
numbers, was done beautifully, a
result of good direction and
talent.

Scotties cannot only sing -
they can dance quite well also!
On April 22 and 23 the Agnes
Scott Dance Group presented its
Spring Concert in Presser Hall.
The general result was, to say the
least, different and surprising.

Th Dance Group showed a
wide range of movement.
Although the concert dealt
almost totally with what the
layman calls "abstract" dance,
the ways in which the dancers
used abstract movements to
convey emotion and meaning was
for the most part successful and
enjoyable. Their interpretation of
a medley of "MacArthur Park"
was the proof that the Group can
work well with any type of dance
style, even if it does concentrate
on modern, abstract movement.

Perhaps the most pleasing
aspect of the concert, however,
was the professionalism and
enthusiasm the dancers showed in
their presentation. The
"professionalism", the result of
hard work, enabled them to
convey their message to their
audience.

During the past two weeks many Agnes Scott
students who applied for scholarships for the
1 971-72 session received letters from the
Scholarship Commit too.

Some of the letters read in part as follows:

"The Scholarship Committee has given careful
consideration to your application for scholarship
assistance for the 1971-72 session. As you know,
the scholarship awards are based on financial need
as determined primarily from information
furnished in the Parents' Confidential Statement
and within the limits of available scholarship funds.
The financial need analysis report, which is
computed from the Parents. Confidential
Statement, estimates a fair contribution from
parents' income and assests and expects the student
to make a reasonable contribution from summer
earnings and from her own savings or assets. Your
new financial need analysis report shows an
increase in resources and indicates that your
situation at present is such that we are unable to
make as large an award for next year as you were
given for the current year."

In some cases, however, complete denials of
requests for scholarships, instead of mere
reductions, were made. Although the letter seems
self-explanatory, President Wallace M. Alston and
Miss Anne Stapleton, director of the office of
financial aid and secretary of the Scholarship
Committee, explained more fully to the PROFILE
why and how these reductions and denials
occurred.

Dr. Alston stressed that the awarding of
scholarships must be based upon the financial need
of the applicant, except in the cases of a few Dana
Scholars who received honorary ''token awards" of
$100. The College Scholarship Service, said Dr.
Alston, computes the financial status of each
applicant, forwards its results to the college, and
thus becomes "the final authority" on the financial
need of an applicant.

In order to "achieve greater uniformity in the
allocation of financial aid funds," ASC helped to
form the Southern College Scholarship Group 17
years ago. As a member of the Group, emphasized
Dr. Alston, ASC must uphold the ten principles and
Practices which the Group endorses. Most
important among these principles are the three
stating that (a) the purposes of a scholarship
program is to enable a student to go to college who
otherwise could not attend a college primarily
because of lack of money, (b) financial need
determines the amount of aid, and (c) the college
"shall review its financial assistance awards
annually and adjust them, if necessary . . .to reflect

changes in the financial needs of the students and
the cost of attending the institution/'

Miss Stapleton explained that each entering
freshman who requests financial aid must tile a
Parents' Confidential Statement with College
Scholarship Service in Princeton, N.J. The College
Scholarship Service computes the need and sends to
Agnes Scott the financial need analysis report. Fach
report is checked for accuracy by the Financial Aid
Officer and the Director of Admissions and then
recommendations are made to the Agnes Scott
Scholarship Committee. This committee determines
the final allocation of awards based on the need
and within the limit of funds available for entering
freshmen. Upperclassmen who apply for aid must
file a Parents' Confidential Statement College
Form with the ASC Financial Aid Officer. The
Financial Aid Officer computes the need and brings
the information to the Scholarship Committee
which again determines the allocation of awards
based on the need and within the limit of funds
available for returningstudents. In the past lew
years^ the Scholarship Committee has relied
primarily upon the student to inform them of any
changes in her financial status. The committee has
discovered that tins procedure has been more
expedient than wise, reported Miss Stapleton.

This year, however, the Scholarship Committee
reviewed all the Confidential Statements.
According to Dr. Alston this review revealed that in
some cases "the parents' financial status has been
changed, and scholarship is no longer necessary/'
Under the terms of the Southern College
Scholarship Group, then, the awards had to be
reduced or terminated.

This resulted in an increase in aid for
some, a decrease in aid for some, and an inability to
make any aid awards to some. In each instance of a
decrease in aid awarded or in each instance of that
an award was not made, the student was requested
to have a personal interview with the Financial Aid
Officer to see whether or not she had made an error
in computation or had mininterpreted the PCS, or
if some information had been omitted from the
PCS. As of last Tuesday, only 1 1 of the 32 students
receiving reductions or no aid had talked to Miss
Stapleton.

Ony three years ago, Miss Stapleton noted, the
scholarships awarded totalled considerably less than
$100,000 This year there is a budget of $200,000
which will meet 70% of the need. The other 30% of
the need may be met with loans. The problem,
then, seems to be not so much a "lack of money"
as "who really needs aid, and who needs it most?"

The Committee tries to be fair in the allocation
of financial aid awards. The rumor that scholarships
were taken from rising seniors and given to entering
freshmen is "untrue and without any foundation,"
according to Miss Stapleton

Miss Stapleton, who supplied the comparative
figures on awards, added that the presentation of
scholarships assumes that there will be certain
amount of forfeiture of scholarships because of
cancellations, either at the beginning of the year or
during the year. The amount of forfeiture expected
is based on the percentages from previous years.
For 1971-1972, the college has offered $213,181 in
scholarships. It expects that 29% of the amount
offered to entering freshmen will not be accepted
and that 4% of the amount offered to sophomores
and juniors will not be accepted. This, hopefully,
will keep the college within the $200,000 budget.

Academic Pressure:
Disease or Symptom?

Recently 1 received from Associate Professor Tom Hogan 34 papers
written by students in his psychology classes. He had asked these
students to write a psychological analysis of a problem at ASC, and
after receiving the papers he forwarded them to the PROFILE.

I found the contents of the reports enlightening and constructive;
yet the same reports showed symptoms of a larger, more appalling
problem that everyone likes to ignore.

First, let us explore the "enlightening" aspects. With only three or
four exceptions, every paper dealt with academic issues. Attacks were
nude upon the lack of student motivation, overpowering
course-loads, "busy-work" assignments, over-demanding assignments,
and four or more tests scheduled during one week.

If these papers do reflect the student and a "representative sample"
of the student body, then this pressure or tension is a very
detrimental factor in education. The authors of some of the papers
referred to the pressure as "being forced to live a dog's life," "hatred
and disinterest," "developing a defeatist attitude," and "a strict
intellectual machine." If such an attitude prevails, then the pressure
must be adjusted or alleviated.

Suggestions for alleviation from the authors centered upon (a)
installment of the pure five-hour quarter system, and (b) dispersal of
tests and papers away from mid-term.

Since one-third of the papers called for the pure quarter system,
students must see something better in that system than in the present
system. There are advantages in changing. Our present system is
incompatible with neighboring schools and becomes almost
impossible to explain to "outsiders." The system changes to pure
agony when a student finds herself in a year-long course that she
would like to 4 drop;" she cannot change courses without losing all
credit for the course and gaining some problems in electing a new
course.

Committees are studying the issue of the quarter system now; they
would do well to begin coming forth with some results and
suggestions before the "dogs life" becomes intolerable.

Briefly, the symptom of the "appalling" problem which was
apparent in the papers was the fact that nearly all of them dealt with
only one topic - academic pressure. Any good college puts some
pressure on students to reach out and "grab" knowledge instead of
waiting for it to "sink in" as they sit around griping. Perhaps in some
cases ASC does use too much pressure! This is a problem for
professors and individual classes to solve.

But what about other problems, such as the embarrassing lack of
student interest in extra-curricular activities, both on and off
campus? Why is the problem of an overly-homogenous student body
ignored? Why doesn't Scott have better communications with other
colleges?

Scott students must get rid of their academic "hang-ups" if they
ever plan to find college enjoyable and worthwhile. Perhaps if they
simply rejected the myth that ASC is only an "intellectual machine"
and turned some of their attention to other problems, they would find
that academic pressure can be counterbalanced and that this pressure
isn't so bad after all. Carole Kroc

Washington Rally Stirs Reactions

"It's strange to see all these people - throngs as
far as you can see - and in the background is some
sacred shrine like the Washington Monument."

This was only one of the reactions given by five
Scott students who attended the Anti-War Rally in
Washington, D.C., on April 24. Five of these
students-Dale Coulton, Fran Fulton, ElaGonenc,
Gretchen Keyser and Lynn Williams-had much to
say afterwards about the atmosphere and effect of
the demonstration.

The students especially noticed a sense of unity
among the demonstrators. Dale recalled that she
saw "almost every part of society
represented. ..they were all getting together on
something. " Gretchen added that, "every person
we met - be it a policeman, a student, a 90-year-old
lady, a family - was friendly. ..They were there
because they felt they had to be there. They were
all together."

In contrast to last spring, the Washington Rally
was peaceful, and the Scott students seemed
amazed at the amount of organization. "Marshalls"
were present to direct people to different rallies
and events, to warn people of which events were
illegal and of which direction to go in if they didn't
want to become a part of an illegal rally, and to try
to keep the crowds from surging forward at mass
mettings. The police were also present, but the girls
commented that they were extremely
self-controlled and patient. The police were acting
as "direction-givers" more than as law-enforcers,
one girl explained. Another student reported that
she "never saw a fight." In fact, a radio report on
the evening of April 24 announced that only 18
arrests had been made from the crowd of an
estimated 500,000 people.

Many organized groups took part in the rally.
Lynn described a parade staged by a Communist
group on one street, but all they did was "makea
lot of music. " Fran recalled that she also saw these
music-makers on the street, serenading people in
the National Gallery of Art!

According to most reports the real show-stealers
were the Vietnam veterans. "They were so
fantastic!," said one Scott student who talked with
a few veterans. She added that "they were really
mad," and Fran described their attitude as "bitter."
The Anti-War Rally had its share of problems.

FRANKLY SPEAKING

The attitudes of a minority of the demonstrators
bothered the Scott students most. Fran was
concerned about "the hangers-on.. .they are the
element that are doing the violent things and are
staying around Washington merely because they
enjoy it. It discredits the peace movement."

Ela, in a conversation with members of the
Student Mobilization Committee in Washington,
was told that Congressmen were using the rally as
"part of their election policy" and that some
officials supported it "just to get votes."

The presence of "four-year-olds screaming
obscenities" disturbed Gretchen. "They can't
comprehend war and fascism," she maintained,
"and they acted as if they were brainwashed. That
kind of scared me."

Dale, in summing up these problems
encountered, said that at times the rally seemed
like a "big political pop festival."

In spiteof the problems the five Scott girls found
the rally very worthwhile. Dale stressed that
"getting that many people to exist together for that
amount of time is enough to show that there really
doesn't have to be violence." She also noted that
more Congressmen were listening to the
demonstrators, more were beginning to agree with
the peace marchers, and, as Fla said, "Now it's the
fault of the government if the government doesn't
listen."

Gretchen added, "If they (the peace
demonstrators) get ignored again this will happen
again. Next time it may be a million."

Fran summed up her personal reaction to the
Washington Rally by commenting that the
demonstrations "gave me a sense of power or
accomplishment that Tve never known before."
Lynn also found the rally a useful and effective
thing, but pointed out that "just having peace
marches isn't going to end the war." The girls
agreed that some influential Americans must be
convinced of the need for peace now.

When asked if, after the conference, the girls had
anything to say to the Scott students in general,
one of the five replied, "tell 'em to get off their
butts," as another explained "this is something you
have to experience yourself ; it's not something you
can just sit around and read about. And it was so
easy to go once we decided."

FOCUS

U.S. and China: Getting Together
by Julianna Winters

After years of almost total
isolation, the People's Republic
of China opened its doors to
fifteen American table-tennis
players and three U. S.
journalists. The Chinese gesture is
considered a breakthrough of
historic proportions. A whole
range of opportunities for new
U.S. -Chinese ties has been
initiated.

It is still much too early to
predict the outcome of these
re-established ties. However, most
immediately an easing of tension
in Asia as well as limited trade
between the two countries seems
likely. President Nixon
commented that it is
"premature" to talk of U.S.
recognition of Peking or U.N.
membership but he is encouraged
about future cultural and trade
exchanges.

The American players were
treated well. The team captain
reported that the Chinese tried
"to kill us with kindness".
Another player stated, "Our
hosts have been super-gracious."

The question "why Ping
Pong?" is raised most
everywhere. The answer is simple.
The world table-tennis
championships in Japan
presented Peking with its first
opportunity to take this major
step without needing direct
contact with Washington. Why
now? Experts have observed that
the Chinese have always stressed
diplomacy when they felt weak
or threatened.

A Look at Faculty Salaries

by PRISC1LLA OFFEN

The 1970 summer issue of the AAUP Bulletin (a
publication of the American Association of
University Professors) includes a listing of the
average compensation and average salary of
full-time faculty members at colleges and
universities throughout the country. A sampling of
this list is printed here. Agnes Scott and schools
equivalent to Agnes Scott (in that they are small
women's colleges) make up the major portion of
this list. Nearby schools and others for
interest are also included.

The survey serves, according to the Bulletin, as a
measurement of "income available for personal
consumption. " Benefits of a professional nature
such as for convention travel, etc. are not a part of
the figures.

The sum of the cash salary and countable fringe
benefits comprise the column termed Average
Compsnation. The salary is adusted to a nine
month basis when necessary -- i.e., when faculty
members have duties for more than 9 months. If,
for example, a person worked for 1 1 months, his
salary would be converted to a 9 months basis by
applying a conversion factor of 9/11. The major
benefits are contributions by the college such as:

(1 ) to Federal Old Age, Survivors, and Disability
Insurance

(2) to retirement programs "to the extent that
these benefits become vested in the faculty member
in five years or less."

(3) for life insurance, medical insurance, etc.

(4) for housing allowances or for housing only if
the college pays an equivalent cash benefit to ,aJl
(their emphasis) faculty members who choose not
to live in faculty housing.

(5) for tuition of faculty children only if there is
cash assistance for all children of faculty members
regardless of the institution they attend.

According to the report, "fringe benefits, in
general, include only those where the institution
makes a definitive payment of a specified amount

on behalfof and for the benefit of the individual
faculty member."

President of the College Wallace M. Alston stated
that for Agnes Scott the benefits included within
these figures are the college's contribution to the
retirement program, the medical program, and to
Social Security. Although Agnes Scott does offer
housing at a low figure to the people of its faculty,
there isn't housing for everyone. Many people
prefer not to live in faculty housing and Scott does
not attempt to pay these people an equivalent cash
benefit, so that the housing program is not included
within the benefits.

The procedure for granting housing, according to
Dr. Alston, is that a list of faculty members is kept
in the order in which they apply for housing. In
this order, the faculty are offered what houses the
college has available at the lowest possible cost; the
college only tries to break even. Dr. Alston noted
that at this time of the year, special consideration
must be given to new faculty members who may be
moving from another part of the country and who
will need to find a home.

The column for Average Salary represents the
average cash salary adjusted to a nine month scale
when necessary.

The figures can be depressed if the institution is
expanding and therefore there are many new
faculty at the minimum salaries for their ranks.

Small colleges may also be influenced by the fact
that in a certain year a relatively large number of
higher paid faculty members may be on leave
without pay. Also the reader should keep in mind
that these figures are one and two years old, as the
most recent figures were not available to us.

The current figures for Agnes Scott (1970-1971)
are:

Average compensation for full-time faculty
members - $12,974

Average Salary of full-time faculty members -

Veterans
Protest

WASHINGTON, D.C.
(CPS)-"The thing that makes this
Spring different is the presence of
you fellas," Washington sage LP.
Stone told the encampment of
the Vietnam Veterans Against the
War on the Capital Mall last
week. More than 1,500 veterans
successfully defied the U.S.
Supreme Court, won the support
of tourists, seduced Congressional
committees, and dramatically set
the stage for three weeks of
anti-war protests in the nation's
capital.

In the morning of their fourth
day of protest, 108 veterans and
two women were arrested on the
majestic marble steps of the
Supreme Court building, after
having assembled to protest the
Court's ban on the veterans" Mall
bivouac. They were led away to
the police vans peacefully, "like
POWs," one said, and charged
with an illegal demonstration
outside a federal court building,
"impeding justice." The crowd
did allow a pathway in and out of

the building; their real
misdemeanor was their
embarrassing presence.

Chief Justice Warren Burger
ruled Tuesday that the vets could
not camp on the Mall,
overturning a Monday decision
by a Court of Appeals which had
reversed a lower court ruling
April 16 that camping on the
Mall represented a threat to the
government. The veterans
camped in a park near Arlington
Cemetery Sunday evening, but
moved to the Mall Monday
evening after the Appeals Court
ruling.

As of Thursday evening, the
Army of the Potomac still
occupied territory on the Capitol
Mall, and White House
spokesmen have implied that
President Nixon, fearing
embarrassment of having more
than 1 ,000 veterans and possibly
some members of Congress
arrested, urged the Justice
Department to "avoid a
confrontation," i.e., to ignore the
Supreme Court ruling in light of
the vets' intransigence.

Despite the fact that Mall area
had been used by a national Boy
Scout Jamboree and other parks
had been used for things like
Resurrection City, Justiee

Burger-backed up by the entire
court the next day-stipulated
that no sleeping, camping, or
cooking could take place on the
Mall after 4:30 p.m.

"Operation Dewey Canyon III"
(named after the first unofficial
invasion of Laos in 1969) vowed
from the start to remain on the
Mall. When the Supreme Court's
endorsement of the Burger ruling
was announced Thursday
afternoon, the VVAW assembly
rebuffed the advice of their
lawyer Ramsey Clark and refused

to comply with the court order.

480 veterans voted to defy all
aspects of the court's "no
sleeping" ruling, and 400 voted
to stay at the camp and try and
stay awake. Huddled in their
state groups, the vets refrained
from making fires, and pitched
more than a dozen tents.
"Outsiders" - all those except
vets, their sleeping partners, and
credentialed newsmen - were
asked to stay outside the
campsite, a grove of trees at the
northeast corner of the Mall.
There was a constant attempt to
guard against intelligence agents,
possible rip-offs and curious
tourists who might get caught in

Alston, Jones
Meet with Rep

bv JAN FREDRICKSON A

On Tuesday, April 27, Or. Alston and Dean Jones
attended the meeting of Rep. Council to discuss the
status ot and possible improvements in convoca
tion programs. Several students also were present to
controbute ideas. Dr. Alston began by saying that
for 20 years convocations have provided an
opportunity for students and faculty to assemble m
one place. At one time, ah chapels were required;
later all except Wed. convocations were made
voluntary. He added that recently "required
anything has had rough going" and that all other
college presidents (with whom he has spoken)
who did away with required assemblies wish they
hadn't. He then pointed out that convocation has
helped to unify the life of the campus community,
but needs more student backing, including Rep.
Council. Dr. Alston said that he doesn't want to
impose convocation on students, but that it is
needed because of decentralization. Another way
we could do things together as a campus would be
through a student center.

According to Dr. Alston, "the most vigorous
protests about convocation have come from people
who are not there." He remarked that programs
should be more varied, but that without the
requirement it would be difficult to avoid having
small attendance at them; in fact, there would
probably not even be a quorum at student
government meetings.

Dean Jones stated that Agnes Scott was the first
college at which she has been where it would be
physically possible to get everyone together.
Convocation provides an opportunity for the
expression of different points of view, an
opportunity which we wouldn't appreciate until it
was gone. She said that she would regret it if
student government were not behind it, but that
Dr. Alston and the administrative committee
wouldn't want to "beat a dead horse."

One student stressed practicality: if people
attend convocation with their bodies and not their
minds, then it's useless to make them come. The
lack of publicity is a major problem in that the
community cdnnot function as such if nobody
knows about concerning it. She also noted that
interest is more important than requirement.

At this point Dr. Alston said that he would like a
program committee for good speakers and
planning, fewer convocations and thus more open
dates, and voluntary religious programs.

Another student observed that the main thing
we have in common is that we are all students at
Agnes Scott College, and that with so few of us, she
would hate to lose the chance to make use of this
advantage.

Various comments were made back and
forth. ..good programs might bring us
together.. .they can't be forced. ..keep attendance
required until improvement has been made and
noticed.. .a minority of students are against
convocation. ..have fewer night lectures and
improve the quality of the rest. Dr. Alston listed
two types of lectures: departmental, at which
attendance would be expected to be small; general,
which are of broad interest. There have been large
audiences at major speakers all year.

Two suggestions for overall improvement of
convocation are more challenging and stimulating
speakers and more students speaking at student
government programs. This year a student
committee was appointed by student government
Since there were no petitions for membership on
next year's committee, one has been created which
is made up of interested students.

Jobs??

This year's college graduate is
going to have difficulty in
finding a job, particularly if his
degree is the liberal arts or
education.

While only a few years ago
companies competed in recruiting
graduates, Atlanta area colleges
report that recruiting is down and
available jobs are few. The feeling
is that "you're lucky to get work
anywhere." By June of 1971 the
number of unemployed college
graduates is expected to reach a
record high. One estimate is that
the total number of job offers to
graduating seniors has been cut
by fifty per cent from two years
ago. Those who try long enough
will probably find jobs, but the
work may not be quite what they
had expected when planning their

by ANN McMILLAN

lives four years ago.

Students who decide to put off
the need to work by going to
graduate school may find it even
harder to be hired when they
get out. Some employers consider
these people to be "too
qualified" for the work, and may
be reluctant to hire them. On up
the ladder, even PhD's are said to
be having trouble finding
teaching or other positions for
which they are amply qualified.

Several factors have
contributed to the decrease in
available jobs, including the
current economic recession, men
returning from military duty, and
the post-World War II baby
boom. It the economy begins to
improve the employment picture
will also change, but it may still
run up to twelve months behind.

Black Panthers-
History and Future

by JAN FREDRICKSON and GINGER ROLLINS

The Beginning

In March, 1966, the Lowndes County Freedom Organization was
formed with the immediate purpose of running candidates and
becoming a recognized politcal party. Their symbol is the black
panther. Lowndes County lies betwen Montgomery and Selma,
Alabama.

The hook Mack Power, the Politics of Liberation in America by
Stokely Carmiehael and Charles V. Hamilton discusses the reason for
and formulation of this organization.

Carmiehael and Hamilton assert that "American racism makes
existing political attitudes and instrutions irrelevant; that the poverty
and powerlessness of this country's black population makes it
imperative that Negroes organize their own political organisms to
make the demands and produce the kind of reevaluation of ideas and
institutions to produce the needed social change."

In March, 1965, not one black person was registered to vote in
Lowndes County, Alabama. However, over the next twenty months,
close to 3,900 blacks had registered to vote and also formed a
political organization They had held a nominating convention and
slated seven of their members to run for county public office.

Carmiehael and Hamilton write that the catalyst to this great
change was the group of SNCC workers who arrived in March and
April of 1965. They came almost immediately after the death of Mrs.
Viola Liuzzo, a Detroit housewife, who had helped in the Selma to
Montgomery freedom march.

These authors later wrote about the Lowndes county election of
1966, "for Lowndes is not merely a section of land and a group of
people, but an idea whose time has come."

Many blacks now, however, feel that although the Black Panthers
were necessary at this time, that perhaps they have outlived their
usefullness. Just as many whites feel about the KKK, some blacks.feel
that the Panthers have simply "gotten out of control "

Panthers

In a speech last December, Minister of Defense Huey P. Newton
said, "In order to get rid of the gun, it is sometimes necessary to take
up the gun." He also praised Communist China, North Vietnam,
North Korea, and Algeria as good examples by which to stage a
revolution. He did, however, reject both separatism and black
nationalism, saying that "Separatism cannot be achieved. ..We won't
do the racist the way he did us, we won't exclude him." When asked
why there are only blacks in the party, Newton replied that it would
be ideal, but not practical: "Our theme is control of the institutions
in your community. We have ethnic communities which whites
control and try to implant their values... After we seize power.. .then
we'll rid the world of racism."

between the Panthers and law enforcement agencies. "Frustration
and fear" are the source of this conflict. "The point is that the
conditions the Black Panthers are trying to change are primarily
conditions resulting from what the white members of our society
have caused to exist or failed to eliminate."

Dr. Maddocks sees the Panthers as strongly opposed to the
American economic system of capitalism and the political system
which keeps it going. According to hjm, "the combination of verbal
attacks on the police, the Panthers' Marxist rhetorick, their
accumulation of firearms, plus their acclaimed readiness to use these
weapons when they feel justified, as understandibly resulted in
considerable apprehension to put it mildly."

An ADVOCATE writer concludes a review of Fletcher Knebel's
book, TRESPASS, which tells about a fictional group like the Black
Panthers, with this statement: "There is widespread and growing
opinion among the leading Negroes of this nation and increasing
evidence that it is seeping down to the less sophisticated classes, that
despite the great publicity given to the Black Panther Party and the
activities of its leaders, the results will bring little good and great evil
to the Negroes of this Nation."

C.B. King

An activist without being radical is C.B. King, an Albany (Ga )
lawyer who is not a Black Panther. As a successful black he is
concerned about the welfare of his black neighbors. He ran for
governor last fall, but placed third in the Democratic nomination
race. "It is my judgement after that experience," says Mr. King, "that
the white community has done a tremendous job of conditioning
blacks to accept themselves as being less than full-fledged citizens.
They have conditioned blacks to accept white impressions of blacks,
to have much self-doubt in terms of an ethnic group. Because of this
there is not the kind of cohesion there should be in terms of black
voting power."

Albany has made some progress, he admits, "but the lack of
conciousness of blacks as a significant human quality is indicated in
the lack of public services in the black community."

NEA

The National Education Association (NEA) is current
working to stop displacement of black teachers and school
administrators in the South as a result of desegregation. The NEA is
asking the t ilth Circuit Court of Appeals to require that:

1. seniority be the sole basis for reductions;

2. any dismissed employee be replaced with one of the same race;

3. school districts comply with the Singleton decree, which says
that the ratio of black to white teachers in individual schools must
approximate that of the district ratio;

4. selection of applicants for vacancies must be on a
nondiscriminitory basis with written evaluations of each; and

5. school districts be required to recruit black educators when the
district's black-white ratio lias fallen below a certain point.

At this time, the Court of Appeals has taken no action. There
probably will be little until the Supreme Court decides on the cases
before i 1 .

While C B. King and the NEA are not connected with the Black
Panthers, they are working toward racial equality without resorting
to revolutionary tactics.

ADVOCATE

The JACKSON ADVOCATE, a conservative black newspaper in
Jackson, Miss has public hed several articles analyzing different
aspects of the Panthers' ideologv and motivation Here are a few
excerpts from the ADV(>( A I I

Dr. Lewis I. Maddocks, executive director of the United Church of
Christ Council for Christian Social Action, explains the conflict

The Future

Don A. Schanche. author of THE PANTHER
PARADOX LIBERAL'S DILEMMA, says that the Black Panthers
"are inevitably going to be destroyed both by themselves and by
society." They are "backed into a very small corner and there is no
way out for them." He also says that their present stadegy is to pit
the white middle class against the police, thus starting a mass middle
class movement to back them up. Mr. Schanche commented that
"anti-Semitism is quite strong and quite evident in the Panthers."

minister, holder of a law degree from the Univer-

to change Indians.. .to get them into the main-
stream and make them as neurotic as middle class
whites."

"The BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) it's a

policital football that gets kicked around by
powerful people and committees inside Congress."

From the specifics of a good Indian program,
to Indian militant groups, to President Nixon's
role, Vine Deloria uses his ironic intelligence
to analyze the situations amd make predictions.
"There'll he a come-back of the Indian tribe as

Dr. Irene Phrydas,
Consulting Psychiatrist

The Students' Role
Emory Prof's View

by CATHY PIDGEON

As a service to its students, Agnes Scott has
available a Consulting Psychiatrist, Dr. Irene
Phrydas. Quite often students need to talk to 'an
outsider" who can be objective and who has had
experience seeing various solutions to problems.

Dr. Phrydas reports that with five hours a week
of her time alloted to counseling Agnes Scott
students throughout the school year, she totals ap-
proximately 100 consultations, although this num-
ber varies from year to year. The problems are as
varied as the number of consultations. However,
the majority of the problems center around two
major areas: those which are unique to the
adolescent, relating to emotional relationships
with people, and those which are related to the in-
dividual's performance, whether he is failing or
succeeding in accomplishing his set goals.

finds herself performing too well), she is suddenly
unsure of what is expected of her.

Dr. Phrydas commented thai not all who have
problems should seek a psychiatrist. However,
when the performance changes drastically, when
one is not happy or is continually depressed, or
when lite looses its meaning, a consultation
might be helpful.

Is "participatory democracy'" a
workable concept in the field of
education? Dr. Leon Mandell, a
chemistry professor at Emory,
endeavored to prove that it is not
by running for student body
president of the university.
Seemingly, he did prove his
point: the elections board
prohibited him from registering
on the grounds that he is not a
student.

Dr. Mandell retaliated by
suggesting that, since a faculty
member cannot run for student
office, that student participation
in Emory's academic, curriculum,
admissions and other policy
committees should be ended.

This action against
discriminatory policies was
described by Bill Montgomery in
the Atlanta Journal as "his latest
in a series of campaigns against
the concept of a university as
advocate for social and political
causes, however noble. "

denies that he is "the campus

comment, "I doubt 1 will ever

Dr. MandelTs gripe against
academic involvement in so-called
/relevant" issues stems from
possible danger to the
of learning and the
those who involve
in these concerns
before they are prepared will not
only be distracted from the basics
but may become discouraged. "If
large problems are attacked too
early," he stated, "the student
will withdraw completely and
refuse to play the game."

"Vietnam, poverty,
racism-these are problems we are
paying people a lot of money to
solve. College students can't
begin to solve themThey need the

English. Give a student a
chance with subjects he can win
in "

The main purpose of the Consulting
Psychiatrist is k 'a preventive measure, in a sense,
to keep people from having or experiencing
failure/ 1 said Dr. Phrydas. Her goal is to help to
keep students in school and to help them solve
their problems, whether the difficulties are
academic, personal, or otherwise.

The importance of having a Consulting
Psychiatrist is to make available to students to un-
derstand their problems when perhaps the
emotions are too intense for the individual to deal
with alone. Since so much of human behavior is
motivated by unconscious experience or feelings,
it is often not possible to understand fully the
situation alone and consequently this student
remains in the dilemma. A consultation enables
the "acute distorted anxiety" to be revealed so that
it does not seem quite as frightening. Looking at a
problem objectively, as Dr. Phrydas is able to do,
can result in many kinds of solutions to these
crises when the student cannot seem to find any.
Anxiety is a major factor behind the problems. A
student can become anxious if a plan or goal has
been set and somehow she feels that she cannot
make the decision she should make. Many students
immediately and unnecessarily jump to the con-
clusion that there is something wrong with them.
Any change from previous adaption or perfor-
mance can cause anxiety or fear. It a student finds
herself not performing as well as before (or if she

Dr. Phrydas seems to feel that Agnes Scott's
program of having a Consulting Psychiatrist
available to the students is one of hhs best
anywhere. To her knowledge more time is alloted
by this school for psychiatric help than is usually
the case. The school pays for three consultations,
all of which are strictly cmnfidciitial. There is no
connection between the student's record and con-
sultations with Dr. Phrydas

Dr. Phrydas explained that many students tend
to see her as a disciplinarian, but she never
becomes involved in questions of "punishing" a
student. She tries to help the student to understand
and to cope with a situation.

Dr. Phrydas also stated that society needs to
educate its people so that they do not feel
ashamed of seeing a psychiatrist or regard such
advice as a sign of failure or mental illness.
There needs to be a decrease in the anxiety of
coming to a psychiatrist tor fear that somehow
it will be a detremental experience. Such
an\ie!> makes it more difficult for the
psychiatrist to perform her role as an experien-
ced Counselor and advisor.

Dr. Phrydas was employed by Agnes Scott as
Consulting Psychiatrist in September of 1964, She
was associated with the medical school at Emory
until 1969. In addition to her counseling of
Agnes Scott students, Dr. Phrydas practices con-
sultations, psychoterapy, and psychoanalysis. As
part of Freshmen Orientation at ASC, Dr. Phrydas
talks to the new freshmen as well as to the
Sophomore Helpers and Junior Sponsors.

Dr. Phrydas's office is located in the Decatur
North Professional Building and can be reached

Peace Corps

by MARIANNE BRADLEY

How would you like to join the Peace Corps? According to Dr.
Edward Holmes, director of the Southern Regional Office of the
Peace Corps, you are welcome if you are least 18 yrs. of age and have
one of a number of particular skills or abilities which you are
willing to share.

Persons joining the Peace Corps must be at least 18, and most
foreign countries prefer that the person be at least 19. The average
age is about 24, as most workers are recent collegegraduates.The job
qualifications are experience or education in the particular field in
which you plan to work.

the Peace Corps operates in about sixty countries throughout
Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific. The length of overseas
service is usually two years, plus twelve weeks of training. The
training involves not only work in the specific skill to which a person
is assigned, but also training in the language and customs of the
people with which the person will be working. This language training
is often

considered the most important part of the training, since Peace Corps
work is primarily work with people, and to do that effeetively
the people must speak the same languages.

There is a wide variety of work available with the Peace Corps.
About seventy percent of the workers are chosen on the basis of
some particular skill. Most of these workers are involved in the
educational aspect of the Peace Corps, teaching skills to others so that
they can then help themselves. Other types of skilled workers are in
agriculture, in professional serviees such as medicine or engineering,
or in skilled trades such as construction work or mechanics.

Recruiting for the Peace Corps is done by former volunteers and
stall members. Most of this recruitment is done on eollege eampuses.

The other thirty percent of the Peaee Corps volunteers are people
with general liberal arts backgrounds but with none of the particular
skills mentioned above. Again, most of these people are involved in
the teaching program. Some work with community development, and
some write material for publicity. People with mathematical ability
work with statistical date involved in various programs. People with
backgrounds in sociology or psychology help establish and run child
care centers, recreation programs, or community planning programs,
and carry out general activities in social casework.

Any Scott student interested in Peace Corps work can pick up
information and applications in the Vocational Office.

College Peace Corps?

Although the Peace Corps provides foreign jobs and experience for
college graduates, Yale University has established its own "Peace
Corp.," for undergraduate Yale students. This "Five-Year B.A.
Program' 1 allows students to spend one year abroad, not as a student
in a fdeign university, but as an American working in a job in a
foreign land.

l ive-Year Program. In the April 1971 issue of the Yale Alumni
Magazine he reported on the operation of the program abroad and on
the effect his experiences had upon his views of America and
American education.

McKeever pointed out the technical problems of the
program -learning the language, finding a job and housing in the
foreign country, and corresponding with the employer prior to
leaving the U.S.--but his report concentrated on the psychological
changes which occurred. "Kvents in America as revealed in the news
magazines became stranger and stranger... America began to look
more and more psychotic, " he recalled. The events at Kent State and
other campuses bothered him and after a year he faced his return to
America 'as if a large hand was pressing me away, trying to keep me
from re-entering."

In ins conclusion, McKeever advocated the college system for
"those who retain concrete goals, such as passing organic chemistry
to get into medical school." Those who have had their educational
goals widened and their perspectives changed through programs like
the Yale "Peaee Corps," he maintained, will only be frustrated. The
l ; ive-Year Program, McKeever concluded, "gives you a chance to
question the future that you had planned and the framework that
you were in. ..It's only when one breaks from the track that one can
question if the track is the right place to be."

This year McKeever is back at Yale, but his "Peace Corps"
experience has left him highly unsatisfied and frustrated with the
educational system there. "I really wanted to get down to work," he
wrote. "Instead, I've met widespread apathy and skepticism from
teachers and administration.. .Nobody is interested in the wider
concern of what my Yale education should be." McKeever hoped to
combine work, research and studies during his last two years;
however, he could not find a faculty sponsor and currently is only
fulfilling "the empty formalities of a degree program," so he can "get
it over now."

Veterans

(Continued from page 3)
the always-imminent bust; a
dozen veterans maintained a
constant patrol of the camp's
"perimeter."

Monday the entire assembly of
veterans and some mothers of
dead GIs were turned away from
the gates of Arlington National
Cemetery because the cemetery
director decreed they were
engaged in "partisan political
activity" because they carried
signs and banners. They then
marched across the Potomac
River, past the White House and
to the Capitol steps, where
wide-eyed tourists watched the
crowd of veterans in battle
fatigues raise their clenched fists
before the seat of government.

Most of the activity of the
group was divided between
guerilla theater and Congressional
lobbying and their presence in
the capitol at the height of the
Spring tourist season had an
immeasurable impact. Most state
groups visited their respective
Congressional representatives,
and VVAW spokesmen gave
stunnmg testimony before the
Senate and House foreign
relations committees and the
House Armed Services
Committee on their involvement
with war crimes. Around the
Capitol, at the Department of
Justice and in numerous city
parks, guerilla theater groups
staged mock "search and
destroy" missions. Passersby were

handed leaflets describing what
could have happed to them had
they been Vietnamese civilians.
Near all the vets were dressed in
green fatigues and camouflaged

jungle gear, and the guerilla
theater participants carried toy
M-l 6s. The group also lobbyed at
the National Press Building and
the Veterans Administration.

Congressional support came
from the expected liberals and
doves, with most making cameo
appearances at the campsite.
Nearly 20 Congressmen said that,
in the event of a bust or bad
weather vets could sleep in their
offices. In a dramatic period
immediately after the first 4:30
deadline, several Representatives
including Shirley Chisolm and
Ronald Dellums said they would
face arrest with the vets. A
special "un-official" hearing
sponsored by several
Congressmen was scheduled to be
held Friday afternoon to
publicize U.S. v/ar crime policies.

Aided by a physician and a
hypodermic needle, several
veterans shed blood on the
Capitol steps Wednesday.

Perhaps a dozen of the
protesting war veterans walked
with the aid of canes and
crutches, and one day several
patients from the Veterans 1
Hospital paid the camp a visit.
Two men who lost both their legs
in combat in Vietnam
participated in the protest
Thursday at the Supreme Court,
but policemen refused to arrest
them.

The last time veterans marched
on their nation's capitol was in
1932, when thousands came to
the Mall at the height of the
Depression to demand veterans'
benefits. President Herbert
Hoover ordered Gen. Douglas
McArthur (and Capt. Dwight D.
Eisenhower) to disperse the
protesters with troops, in what is
conceded to be one of Hoover's
worst decisions, paving the way
for Franklin Roosevelt's election
that year.

Research in the Archives

The Georgia Department of
Archives and History has moved
its special research wing to
provide ideal working conditions
for the student researcher.

The new area is the seminar
room is tailored to fit the
student's needs. The special
research wing, set aside from the
other research areas, offers the
student a quiet atmosphere in
which to work and to have ready
access to important documents.

The patrons who visit the
Archives to study governmental
records and other original source
material should rarely have to
leave the special research wing.
Material on the researcher's topic
is pulled from other sections for
the^ patron's use in the area, and a
special research assistant is
available for consulation.

For 1 h
convenience
are located

researcher's
microfilm readers
in the room, and

typewriters are available for the
patron's use upon request. A list
Df master's thesis from several
colleges is on file in the room,
and historical journals from
Georgia and other states arc
conveniently accessible in the
adjacent wing.

"Interested in starting your
own business this summer with a
new nationally-known product?
Write R.A.H. Distributing
Company, Suite 14, 4821 Sahler
Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68104
or call 402 455 3395 (no collect
calls)."

The topics which a student
may research in the state's official
record depository are unlimited
and applicable to almost any
college course. For example, a
student might use tax digests for
a business course or records from
the Department of Family and
"Children Services for a sociology
course. Other documents might
relate to geography, psychology,
humanities, or political science.
In addition to the records on
microfilm students may study
original documents if they have
not been microfilmed.

As a special service to schools,
the Archives also conducts
research seminars for college
classes. A typical day's session
would include viewing
document a rieSj touring the
building, and researching original
source material. The department
can tailor these programs to any
length of time designated by the
professor and the class.

The department, which is a
division under the office of the
Secretary of State, is open to the
public during the week from 8:00
a. in to 4:30 p.m. and on
Saturdays from c >:3() a.m. to 3:30
p.m.

Walk Day- May 8-9

Midst the headlines of ^spring offensives" by
anti-war groups, the largest peace offensive of them
all has gone largely unnoticed on college campuses
across the country, the U.S. student head of the
International Walk for Development charged today.

Mike McCoy, student at Antioch College at
Columbia, (Md.) and U.S. Youth Chairman of the
Walks, said that although more than a million high
school and college students in more than 350 cities
have signed on to Walk for Development on May
8-9, their plans have largely been ignored by the
nation's press, including college papers. Yet the
purpose of the Walks are closely related to the
concerns of students everywhere!

The major objective of the Walks, which will be
held in 39 other countries simultaneously with
those in the U.S., is to focus worldwide attention
on those measures necessary to enable every man to
achieve a decent standard of living and his highest
individual development, McCoy said.

Among issues on which International Walk Day is
focusing:

Reducing worldwide military expenditures,
thereby permitting nations to use their rescources
for more constructive purposes;

. Assuring an adequate income for every family
and for every nation through an equitable
distribution of work opportunities and world trade;

. Providing a minimally sound diet for the current
world population;

Harnessing the growth of the world's
population;

. Learning to appreciate diversity of culture and
values among the world's people;

. Reversing the degradation of the earth and its
environment.

In addition to their educational objectives, the
International Walks raise money for domestic and
international self-hope projects ranging from
nutrition education among Dakota Indians to
agricultural scholarships for South Korean youth.
Worldwide the walks are sponsored by the U.N.
Food and Agricultural Organization. Young World
Development of the American Freedom from
Hunger Foundation is the U.S. sponsor.

U.S. Walkers have a goal of $5 million this year.
To meet this goal each walker enlists a sponsor (or
sponsors) who agrees to pay him from 10c to $10
for each mile walked. Generally the walk routes are
from 20 to 30 miles in length,

No Men

Pittsburgh, Pa. - (IP.) -
Chatham College, following an
intensive two-year study of the
question of admitting men to its
degree program, has announced
its decision to remain a women's
college.

In releasing the major
report, President Edward I).
Eddy nofed I hat "the sex of the
student is not one-tenth as
crucial today as the commit-
ment to re-structure the
curriculum, to rearrange the
academic schedule, and to
tighten the total institutional
effort."

A special committee found
that the sex composition of a
college is not a major deter-
mining factor in a student's
choice of institutions. It con-
cluded that students tend to
select a college with quality in
the academic program,
flexibility in approach, and on
the basis of location and size.

This point is further sub-
stantiated bv an increase this
year of over 12 per cent in the
number of applications for ad-
mission to Chatham following
the C ollege's initiation last fall
of a new curriculum anf calen-
dar which permit students and
faculty to design programs of
study which best meet their in-
dividual educational objec-
tives.

The committee pointed out
that the College's location also
makes it an integral part of a
larger academic community of
over 45,000 students enrolled in
six accredited Pittsburgh in-
stitutions.

These colleges and universities
participate in a cross registration
program which permits their
students to enroll in classes on
any of the other campuses. The
program gives Chatham students
the opportunity to experience
coeducation classes at the larger
universities and brings men into*
the Chatham classrooms.

outstanding critic for the Atlanta
Journal, is portraying Teddy
Lloyd. Kay, who has been in two

DETROIT, Mich. (CPS)-Two
pipe boms exploded without
warning in the University Center
Building at Wayne State
University the evening of March
23, completely destroying the
men's and women's bathrooms
on the third floor of the building.

There were no injuries in the
blasts, as police had cleared and
searched the building an hour
before the 7:30 explosions, based
on a "rumor" of a bomb in the
University Center. Police say they
received no actual warning of the
bombing.

Wayne State is in the midst of a
strike by cafeteria employees,
which, supported by a student
boycott, has shut down the

University Center cafeteria for
nearly two weeks. Since no
reason or warning was issued for
the bathroom bombings, no
connection has been drawn
between the cafeteria workers'
strike and the bombing.

However, because of a similar
pope bombing in a bathroom at
the Oak Ridge campus of nearby
Oakland Community College
during a black studies protest two
weeks ago, observers here are
suggesting the possibility thai the
bombings are the work of
reactionary right-wingers. Others
are suggesting that a mysterious
bathroom bomber moved to
Detroit after the bombing of the
U.S. Capitol in January.

Study Of Parietals

Survey of women's colleges

By CATHY PIDGEON

An interesting survey of parietals for visitors, including men, was
made of several "women's colleges" in the eastern United States. Mrs.
Linda Ward Beech, a graduate of Smith College at Northampton,
Mass., sent questionnaires to the deans of these colleges and generally
found that a new and more liberal system of parietals had been
adopted with fairly successful results.

As is the case at Bennington, Bryn Mawr, Conneticut College,
Radcliffe, Sarah Lawrence, and Wellesly there are 24-hour parietals.
At Marymount, Mount Holyoke, and Wells, there are limited
parietals, but in most cases the hours are under consideration for
extension to 24-hour parietals.

These rules generally respect the opinions of others and are
susceptible to change if the majority of a dorm of hall so desire.

There are some disadvantages as well as some advantages involved.
Since the dorms have become centers of social life, many find it
difficult to study well in the dorm. There is also a problem of
"permanent guests" who are frequently asked to leave. Security was a
problem at Marymount until male night-watchmen were stationed in
the dorms. Sometimes the situation of the male visitors can become
rather awkward in double rooms. The dean to Sarah Lawrence
commented that the "students find themselves with no rules to
measure themselves against."

One advantage as seen by Radcliffe is that the "relationships
between sexes [are] more natural and balanced, social activities I are ]
more spontaneous with majority, rather than minority,
participation."

The parietals at Agnes Scott aren't quite like those mentioned
above. At present, "Men may visit in the lobbies or parlors of
dormitories and cottages during the afternoons and evenings until
closing hours, 12:00 midnight Sunday through Thursday and 2:00
A.M. Friday and Saturdays. Individual residences may restrict these
hours, but they may not be increased," (from the Handbook).

Dean Jones explained that Agnes Scott's rules for male visitors
were formulated from "decisions made on experiences and
philosophies of experienced peoples." Together with Dr. Alston, she
is "convinced even more strongly of the stand taken before based on
the problems seen at other schools" which have tried the program of
permitting male visitors in dorms. She commented that it would be
unfair to the students who did not have visitors and often the
situation could become awkward. The question has been raised as to
the possiblity of open dorms between 2:00 and 4:00 on Sunday
afternoons. Dean Jones said that this was harmless in itself but there
is the possibility of this freedom "snowballing."

Two Degrees Earned In Four Years

Lewisburg, Pa.-(I.P.)-A program
which will allow a student to earn
both bachelor's and master's
degrees in four years has been
instituted by the Department of
Biology at Bucknell University
and will go into effect this
summer.

Similar programs are currently
being implemented by Bucknell's
departments of chemistry and
mechanical engineering.

The program, in which a
student will receive a bachelor's
degree in June of his senior year
and a master's degree the
following August, entails more
intensive study of biology Hum
that re q U i r e d o 1* regular
undergraduate biology majors.

During the freshman and
sophomore years the student will
take the same courses as oilier
students majoring in biology.
Students showing outstanding
promise will (hen be allowed to
apply lor admission to the
program and if accepted will
attend three successive summer

sessions in addition to the regular
academic year. These summer
sessions will be devoted
principally to research and/or
research related activities.

Students in the combined
degree program will have the
same general course requirements
that are included in the regular
bachelor and master of science
degree programs. During the
three summer sessions the
B.S.-M.S. candidates will plan and
execute research problems and
write their master's theses.

The students in this program
will also serve one day each week
during their junior and senior-
years as instructors for
undergraduate Laboratory
sessions. Dr. Jack L. Harclerode,
chairman of the department,
noted that "These activities
be nefLl the student by
broadening his background and
horizons and by providing a real
teaching experience which we
believe is a necessary part of a
graduale educal ion ."

Scott Offers New Housing
for Its Married Students

For some time Dr. Alston has wanted to offer
some small married students' apartments
which were close to campus and which could
be rented by the students at reasonable rates. Until
recently, neither the opportunity nor the facilities
have been available for providing married students'
apartments.

Two houses on South Candler Street are now
being renovated by the college for use by some
married students. One house contains facilities for
three apartments, and the other is a duplex. Three
of the smaller apartments will be furnished, while
the two larger apartments will be unfurnished. The
rent for each apartment will be $100 a month, all
utilities furnished. Anyone interested in applying
for a married students' apartment please see Dr.
Alston.

Bravo, Scott!

The school Jiould be commended for having the
foresight to make available housing to married students
beginning next fall. (Please see frontpage article.) Such
3cilities, adjacent to the campus, will afford these married
students great convenience as well as providing them with
housing at an extremely reasonable rate. The married

students howeverthe project carries with it an even deeper
significance for the school as a whole. Providing housing for

constitutes progressive action. Agnes Scott does not always
have to follow other schools' examples, as was the case in
the changing of her social regulations; she can lead as well. I
like seeing her in that position.

Last year the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education
recommended that some drastic c! anges in the collegiate educational
system be made. The group's basic conclusion was that "the length of
time spent in undergraduate college education can be reduced
roughly by one-fourth without sacrificing educational quality." In
more concrete terms, then, the committee proposed that the
undergraduate studies could be incorporated into three years instead
of four, and students could reduce their graduate studies by one or
two years, also.

"We should neither over-invest the time of students nor the
resources of society in a higher education," maintains the report.

Presently Harvard University and several other institutions are
beginning to explore the effects of changing to this three-year system.
Undoubtedly ASC will and should sooner or later consider the plan,
also. Since I will probably not be here to contribute to the
discussions, allow me to record my opinions now for the future.

The illustrious Carnegie Commission made a horrible, saddening
error in judgement. It assumed that colleges and universities represent
nothing more than overgrown educational machines where students
do nothing but inhale facts and theories, bury themselves in
textbooks, and ignore anything that does not have "academic"
stamped upon it. It assumed that time not not spent studying is time
wasted. It assumed that for survival, society needs only facts and
figures, not the ability to use the facts and figures wisely.

College provides, or can provide, a good starting base for a person
to learn about "living in general." A student can combine fact, theory
and new exploration in order to learn ixxit existence as an intelligent,
more responsible, constructive member of humanity. Everything
becomes a new, instructive experience because he must adjust to it
and relate to it as an individual, not as a part of a family or a high
school clique.

To reduce this process of experience, knowledge, and individual
discovery to three years saves nothing ultimately worthwhile. It only
destroys the confidence of the individual when he discovers that,
outside the protective walls of the campus, there exist pressures and
problems which all the facts, theories, and explications in the world
will not solve unless they can be used properly. Such use can only be
learned through time and practice, which the fourt' year provides.

To find that the Carnegie Commission cannot find any deeper
meaning to higher education than just learning facts disillusions me
greatly. The three-year program will sacrifice educational quality
because it will deny students the time and opportunity to blend fact
with experience and discover that education is really relevant to
living.

Maydays....

.Where is Peace?

Mayday, 1971-11,000 arrests
in Washington, D.C. Torn-up
sidewalks. J I legal "dragnet"
arrests of bystanders who
"looked like radicals. " Dumping
cars in streets to stop traffic.
Creative disrup t io n. Militant
nonviolence. Stopping the
government. Stopping the
denx>nstrators
Stopping the war?

After the fairly peaceful but
strongly impressive marches and
rallies of late April, the Mayday
actions on the parts of both
demonstrators and police in
Washington produces a tragic,
repulsive, and sickening aura over
peace demonstrations. Nothing
was gained, and the surprising but
welcome rationality and peace
which prevailed in April was
invalidated and forgotten as
papers splashed scenes of riots on
the front page.

What about outside
Washington? It appears
everything was quiet-fearfully
quiet. Low-keyed. Held breath.
Silent prayeis by presidents for

no more spring, 1970's. Stop the
activism. Stop the threat of
campus riots.
Stop the war?

Mayday, 1971-a study of
extremes, from destructive
violence to paralyzing fear. If all
the energy expended in
Washington and all the energy
pent-up elsewhere could be used
constructively in PEACEFUL but
strong rallies and seminars, in
forming petitions, in convincing
others of the need for an end to
Vietnam, and in pressuring
Hanoi, we could really do
something.

Like stop the war.

Such are dreams.

To the Editor and Student Body:

I graduated form Agnes Scott
on June 9, 1 968. Since that time
I have taught in a university in
Japan, learned Japanese, worked
with the U.S. Foreign Service as a
guide at tixpo '70, traveled
through the Hast, lived on a
commune in India and studied in
New York.

It may seem that I've gone a
long way from Agnes Scott but
it's really not so distant. I've
come to realize that what I've
done since Scott is a continuation
of what I dealt with there but on
an extended plane.

On my return home. I was
going through some old things
including a file of Scott days,
tucked away in labeled folders
"Romantice Poetry, Mr. Nelson/'
"World Religions, Mr. Chang,"
"Social Psych, Mrs. Drucker,"
etc. I began reading some papers
( not all of them, the quantity is
amazing). I rom the first paper in
freshman English there is
evidenced a continual dealing
with questions which interested
me then a significant growth by
the senior year. It interests me
that so many of the things that
are a part of me now were dealt
with in papers at Agnes Scott, no
matter what course it was. At
that tune I was not aware af what

I was dealing with or o! the
development. My understa lJmg

then was mostly academic and
took on an academic form,
reading books, noting lectures,
writing papers. My life since then,
through various experiences, has
made my understanding a more
integral and conscious part of
myself.

This is a process we're all going
through. It's not that one life
ends on graduation and another
begins with the next
s t c p- - e m ploy men t , t ravel,
marriage, graduate work. The
aspects of life that each person is
dealing with are different but it's
that which gives wholeness to
identity and continuity to
experience.

What stimulated me to write
this letter was some notes in the
file winch emphasized not the
continuity but the change that
takes place. I thought the present
students at Agnes Scott would
appreciate this insight in to how
Scott has changed.

In talking with former
classmates we often laugh about
the petty activities which we
thought were of such earth
shaking significance in those
days. Perhaps the ultimate of
these cataclysmic events was the
GREAT CONTROVERSY over
changing the class mascot.

Two Views Of Scott Life-

From the Seniors From the Freshmen

By DEBBIE JORDAN

"Has Agnes Scott lived up to the expectations you had as a
freshman?"

"Gad, what a trite question! " - typical reaction.

Finally, the seniors in Rebekah told all - academic frustration and
elation, faculty crushes and hates, social failures and successes
(mostly failures), the joys of Atlanta and the glory of Joe Winkler's
Gulf Service.

By JAN FREDERICKSON and TR1CIA McGUIRE

What kinds of things did freshmen expect when they came to Scott
last fall? Have they beendisappointed or relieved? Many have been
both. Most frequently mentioned as unexpected was the degree of
academic pressure. Students knew the work would be hard, but
hadn't ount d on there being so much of it. For some, the
combination of amount and diversification prevented them from
studying for each course with as much depth and concentration as

Academically most expectations were adequately fulfilled - the lhey WQuld haye , iked Qne ^ thought she wouldn > t be ab]e to do
majority of seniors did have a few words of praise for their major (he workj bu( added ^ [{ cQu[d be dQne if Qne appHed Qneself

k My

departments. Of course, as one senior so beautifully put it,
expectations weren't so high. 1 guess my grades weren't either!"

Realistically, Julia Couch rates most of her courses as "very
challenging" while Cindy Ashworth found "standards very high in the
majority of my classes."

Some of the suggestions thrown out by the group reflect the
academic frustrations felt in the first two years. Becky Naylor
commented, "Required courses are ok if they could be one quarter
long. Two years is too much."

Betty Noble added, "By the time 1 was finished with my group
requirements, I was in the middle of my major requirements which
cut out almost any extra courses I wanted to take."

Cries of "Freshman English was poor", "Botany was hell", and "I
know I'd flunk if 1 had to take five courses now" rang out with "Get
rid of those damn three hour courses" echoing a bitter refrain. In
closing the academic discussion one enlightened senior summed up
with "We're an idealistic crew! I wouldn't go anywhere else."

The small student-faculty ratio, long an admission office drawing
card, has encouraged many friendships - often to the student's
surprise and pleasure. Vicki Nesbitt commented "The friendships
I've made were more than I expected. In high school the faculty was
so remote. The administration is really friendly, too." One senior
suggested that the presence, or absence, of such relationships depends
on the student. "For example," she remarked, "one professor
supposedly inclined toward close student-teacher friendships has
always seem rather distant to me."

A tired old senior in the corner of the room piped in, "The faculty
should extend more to the freshman, especially the freshman
advisors." But another placed the responsibility on the freshmen
themselves saying, "The freshmen don't realize th should go to the
faculty. 1 haven't found them aloof."

Socially Scott has been rewarding - several diamond rings' worth.
However, these dear jewels were not necessarily captured at the
expense of Mother Tech. Julia commented that although she had
dated a lot she did find it "somewhat disappointing that there were
so few opportunities for friendships on a non-dating basis."

Vicki seemed to have no problems since she had a brother at
Emory. Her freshman and sophomore years were fairly active, as she
had hoped they'd be. Then junior year came and "all your friends
called asking you to get them dates with freshmen." She did find
some advantages at a women's college - mainly the opportunity to
meet the friends of classmates from a number of other colleges.

After four years one becomes inured to the sight of women,
women, women!! One candid senior explained, "When I came I was
against men. I chose Scott because I wanted to get to know girls
better. I really didn't get along with girls in high school-Believe me,
here you're forced to. I gues the mission was accomplished!"

Betty added that the great quality of friendships made at Scott was
not their "number but their closeness." The homogeneity of the class
did bother a few seniors, but Cindy finds that the "incoming classes
seem more diverse." She continued, "I really didn't think Scott
would be when I entered." Everyone praised the greater Atlanta area
a d the opportunities it affords. Quote: "Who wouldn't?" A few
even had kind words for Decatur, Manuel's, and, of course, Winkler's.
Others regretted not having taken advantage of Scott's location,
certainly one of its best assets.

None of the seniors interviewed expected such sweeping changes
in the school's policies. Vicki reflected quite appropriately that it's
difficult to evaluate four years when "we came under one set of
regulations and are leaving under another. Saturday classes and
the old apartment policy would have darkened my optimistic
attitude. Now it's hard to complain!" - except about those "damn
three hour courses" (unison response).

The views expressed in he editorial section of this newspaper are
those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of th
administration or the student body. Entered as first class mail at the
\gnes Scott College Post Office.

A number of students said that it was a lot like high school here,
partly on account of what they termed "busy work". One remarked
that it seemed like "elevated high school", only better, and that she
had counted on a more university-like atmosphere.

There were mixed reactions to the question of atmosphere. A
student who had been afraid that she wouldn't have any free time
found that she did have some in spite of things she'd heard during
orientation.

A Symposium on Second-Class Citizens

or United We Stand

By BEATIE DIVINE

Why is there only one woman senator out of a total of one
hundred? Why are there only twelve representatives out of a total of
435 in the House of Representatives? Why, if women hold Va of all
federal civil service jobs, do they only comprise 2% of all top
positions? Why do high schools graduate 1.2% more women than men
and colleges graduate 18.6% less women than men? Why are only
3.5% of all lawyers women? 6.5% of all physicians women? 2% of all
judges women? 7% of all scientists women?

Where is women's "place" in today's world? What kind of
education should they receive and where? What are their unique
intellectual attributes and needs, thier options in life? Wells College, a
women's college, responded to these searching questions by
organizing and conducting a symposium on "The Status of Women in
Contemporary American Society" Sunday, May 9, on the Wells
College campus in Aurora, New York. Thirty-five Eastern Seaboard
women's colleges were invited; representatives of five attended -
Scott, Bryn Mawr College, Lake Erie College, Nazareth College, and
Pembroke College.

The conference took the form of a brief 20 to 30 minute talk by
each of the four speakers and discussion groups following a break.
Harriet Maurer, an administrative officer for the American
Association of University Women, spoke in a general way about the
"Avis People's" position in education and society. Constance Cook, a
Republican assemblywoman and lawyer, one who engineered the
most liberal abortion bill in the States through the New York
legislature, reasonably approached the matter of women and political
action. An old-style feminist (she first welcomed the men in the
audience) with insistence and drive, Mrs. Cook suggested that to
increase the number of women accepted in law school more should
apply, because the number of women accepted is based on the
number of applicants.

This speaker also suggested that for a woman to become involved
politically, she should have a profession to rely on.

Following Mrs. Cook was Rosemary Reuther, a Catholic theologian
and professor at Howard University and George Washington
University, who presented a beautifully organized and interesting
lecture on the modern secular expression og the "woman problem' in
psychology. She impressively destroyed Freud's, Jung's and Erikson's
concepts of woman as a subordinate being. In addition, she saw wrath
and separatism as two means to a reconciliation of the problem, one
not based on the status quo.

Last to speak was Doris Pullen, a journalist and optimist about the
future or fate of women's colleges. On one hand, she realized that
women's colleges have the capacity for simultaneously educating and
liberating women; for example, these colleges place women in
responsible leadership positions. On the other hand, these institutions
with finishing school qualities can enforce the traditional role of
women.

The discussions following these speakers were well attended by the
Wells students and the sprinkling of out-of-towners. At the opening
of the symposium, Chris Rathkop the chairwoman of the
synposium committee, stated the purpose of the conference was not
to liberate, but to educate; however, Mrs. Cook pointed out that the
Latin derivative of "edudate" forced these two words to mean the
same -- liberate. This fine and dynamically conceived symposium was
the first attempt to band together all Eastern and Southern women's
colleges within an educational context in a concern for the status of
women and their education.

Scott's Representative Council decided to send an interested
student to the symposium; Beatie Divine attended. There are plans to
continue this education of women on the Scott campus next year.

The Changing Decatur

WE'VE HEARP OF 'TIRED OLr
BUT DID THE>

By CINDY HARVEY

Anyone who escapes the ivory towerof Agnes
Scott for a trip into Decatur, should be aware of
Decatur's changing garments. There are many
building and landscape changes. However,
Decatur's greatest changes are at her heart-in the
integration of her school systems.

Five years ajjo Decatur rested smug I) and
quietly aloof in her segregated schools. Then,
began a ^real influx of black families and an
exodus of white families. Decatur has prided
herself in adjusting very well to this situali;;::

Today school officials say that of 4,z00
children in the Decatur City Schools, more than
60 c 'c are non-Caucasian. Agnes Scott is affected
by these changes.

Not only is Decatur High one block off campus
on McDonough Street, a new junior high school
is being built one block east of Agnes Scott. It's
construction site is on College Avenue between
Adams Street and King's Highway. It will house
two grades of junior high students. It will be
open for classes probably in September, 1972.

In the mid-1960's most of Decatur's slums
were removed in the West Court Square urban
renewal program. Attractive new apartments and
townhouses have sprung up in the past few years
around Decatur.

Now, construction looms at one side of the
old court house square. This project includes
plans for C & S Bank offices, a mall with
quality shops and a restaurant, alonj with
^jood parking facilities. Hopefully, this will
increase business.

Another construction site changing Decatur's
skyline dress is the Philips Presbyterian Tower.
Next door to Decatur Presbyterian Church on
Church Street, the 10-story building is now near
completion. It has 200 rooms and already seems
well oversubscribed. It is for those over 65 on
limited incomes. The Presbyterian Synod of
Georgia owns the building.

Another 10-story building built earlier is the
First National Bank of Atlanta's tower on Ponce
de Leon Avenue. It is interesting that the First
National Bank of Atlanta's tower at Five Points
is Atlanta's tallest building. Another skyscraper
in Decatur is Decatur Federal's 8-story building
down the street from the First National Bank
Building.

Decatur has her be^innin^ in 1823, which is
fourteen years before Atlanta existed as
Terminus. Decatur is named after a naval hero
from the War of 1812, Stephen Decatur. He is
famous for saying "My country; In her
intercourse with foreign nations may she
always he ri^ht. But my country rijjht or
w r(in|."

Today 22,000 people live in Decatur, which is
six miles cast of downtown Atlanta. Decatur is

mostly a college town with Agnes Scott,
Columbia Seminary, and nearby Emory.

Atlanta Magazine in August says, "Most of
all Decatur feels the pull of Scott, which peers
down on the town from its prim, tree-shaded
campus at the head of McDonourh Street,
much like an old maid aunt, ready to waj> her
Finger and whisper tush-tush at any untoward
heha\ ior."

Maybe this attitude can be explained in that
Decatur is rich with churches. She boats of 1 7
congregations, approximately one every 1,400
citizens.

There are three radio stations in Decatur.
WGUN has a black and white gospel format.
WAVO has white-oriented gospel music and
preaching. VVOMN is the only classical station in
the Greater Atlanta Area.

One problem in changing Decatur stems from
highway plans. Presently, there is much debate
over Highway 155, a proposed 4-lane highway. It
may run down McDonough Street or down
Adams Street, one block east of McDonough.
Possibly, early in 1973 property would be
acquired for the highway.

Eventually, the Stone Mountain Freeway
mayrun through Decatur. One proposed route is
on College Avenue, on Agnes Scott's doorstep.

Ajnes Scott hopes to keep her area intact.
This area is from College Avenue on the north
to a creek bed below Green Street on the
south. The east boundary extends to the east
side of Adams Street and the west boundary to
Avery Street.

Students from Agnes Scott are needed in
Decatur's community. We are expecially needed
in projects helping black children. These projects
well-publicized. There is absolutely no limit to
these opportunities, some of them on the skirts of
the campus.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, a black woman who
has lived in Decatur 22 years sums up the present
atmosphere in much of Decatur:

"T don't care what color Decatur becomes.
We like it here and we're not moving. We bought
a house on the southside after my husband's
salary got to the point were we were forced to
move out of public housing. We were a bit upset
at all the Tor Sale' signs, but we found a place
we liked and moved in.

Befire I knew it, all the white people were
gone; I don't understand it. They didn.t know
what kind of neighbor I'd be. But there are still a
few white families in the area and since it's been
a couple of years I gather that they're satisfied.
There's a lot of fear that the city's going to
become all-black. Well, I keep asking the white
people how this can happen if they don't move
out."

Scott Students Give Reports

Recently several Agnes Scott seniors presented
reports on their Independent Study Research
Projects at the annual meeting of the Georgia
Academy of Science held this year at West Georgia
College in Carrollton. Each year research scientists,
educators, and superior undergraduate and graduate
students assemble to review the work done during
the previous year in the state in the fields of

biology, chemistry, psychology, medicine, earth
sciences, and geology.

Dr. Marion T. Clark, professor of chemistry, was
president of the Academy during the past year. A

Bipper Anderson JWO SfudeiltS Alld Their Art and Kathy Triplett

By ANN McMILLAN

Getting Bipper
Anderson and Kathy
Triplett together to talk
about art is like mixing
two very active
chemicals - the results may
be unexpected but are sure
to be in ip res ting. Their
enthusiasm is reflected in
such words as "fun,
frustrating, experimenting,
new, e x c i t i n g ,
developing. "

Neither girl had any
particular artistic interest
or experience before
college, outside of coloring
books and posters. Bipper,
who had "never even
thought about art, " began
her study of art as a
sophomore, taking the
basic Art 191 course
which she "really liked. "
Trip, as Kathy is known
' l non - professionally ",
describes her participation
as a "hobby, fun. I don't
consider it work." After
changing her major "about
800 times" she settled
upon art because "it's the
only course I enioved so
why not major in it. "

When asked about the
caliber of Scott's art
department, their
immediate response is that
the professors are "great. "
They lament the lack of a
life -drawing class and the
limitation of hours one

Bipper describes Mr.
Staven as "very flexible. "
If I want to know some
new technique he shows
me. I'm just experiment-
ing. All my paintings are
different. I've got seven
started, none of them
finished. In painting I just
experiment in everything.
I call it play, he calls it
experimenting/' she
laughs. "It's play at first;
then you have to solve it. "

Trip finds that "painting
is the most difficult.
Pri n tmak i n g i s m ore

academic." Printmaking is
good because you get
many of the finished
product instead of one,
which can be used for
wedding presents and so
forth. Trip seems to find
the grestest satisfaction in
working with clay, as her
many pots testify.

The girls' decision to
study art left two sets of
parents less thrilled, but
Trip and Bipper have fairly
definite answers to "What
can you do with an art
major?" Bipper may go
into advertising, but even

"if I 8 et married and settle
down or something" she
will continue to create.
"There's always something
new and exciting to learn
about art, " she reflected.
"You keep thinking about
it, you've got to come
back to it. You can't just
stop, no matter how
frustrating it gets. "

Trip feels that "It is
always something that
keeps developing and as
long as it 's developing it *s
exciting. As far as a
vocation goes," she
continues, "that's it. It's
got to be art. That's the
number one thing before

anything else- and I want
to go to graduate school. "
She has been accepted at
the University of the
Americas in Pueblo,
Mexico. With an eye to the
future, she considers
the use of art in
psychotherapy. "It'll be
art therapy in a teaching
situation. Art is
therapeu tic - expecially
clay. "

Trip has exhibited at a
DeKalb College printing
show; Bipper has won first
prize and honorable
mention for the past two
years in fairs at her home
town, M or gan field,
Kentucky.

"Brodie"-
A Job Well Done

By ELLEN FLYNN

Perhaps it is simply a matter of prejudice -- as I
have been in love with Muriel Spark since I could
read, found my own Je#n Brodie at 13, and was
quite overwhelmed by Maggie Smith's inimitable
Oscar performance. But the fact of the matter is
that I viewed the arrival of yet another Jean on my
horizon with curiosity, but no great expectations.

However, a blow was struck against prejudice - I
was very pleasantly surprised. The show was very
professional. Aside from a very few problems and
some long set changes, the technical aspects of the
show went without a hitch. The costumes were
superb -- recreating a time, place, and class
perfectly. Jean Brodie's attire was elegant and a
trifle dashing and the girls were clad in the
inimitable "public" school uniform.

But all in all, it is the performances which make
the production. They are all commendable. Pam
Rogers' Brodie is cool, superior, detached and yet
vulnerable. Terry Kay makes a surprisingly lovable
lecher. Tom Kendrick's delightful interpretation of
the proper Scot, caught by Brodie and not quite in
his element is a joy. As headmistress Elizabeth
Jones is properly prim, plain, cynical and Scottish.
The girls are perfect -- Nancy Owen is graceful and
beautiful, Becky Miller properly histrionic, and
Kathie Warne suitably shy, stuttering, ill-at-ease and
not quite sure of her place.

Yet it is Susi Parks' Sandy who fills the stage. She
is incredible - a rare performance full of strength
and bitterness coupled with the disillusionment and
vulnerability oi a child -- old before her years
certainly -- but nonetheless a child.

The play itself is a good one -- it warrants
technical accuracy, professional performances, a
good production. Blackfriars has given it that and
more -- much more -- spirit.

A A Activities

On the last Saturday in April we all spent a
fantastic morning cleaning up the land around the
cabin. There was a big response on the part of both
the students and the faculty. Everyone provided
muscle, AA provided the hot dogs, the faculty
wives provided dessert, and the Brown s provided
the back yard for a picnic-cookout lunch. AA
extends many thanks to all of these who were
involved.

On the 19th of May, AA will sponsor the annual
picnic. It will begin at approximately 3:00 PM with
a tennis match which will be followed by the finals
in the dorm volleyball competition. Relay races and
other competition is in the planning for activity
before dinner. Students and faculty who are
planning to bring guests or children are reminded to
indicate how many extra persons in their party will
be coming. A sign-up sheet will be placed in the
Post Office for this purpose. The dining hall will be
helped for their preparations by the sign up sheet.

freshmen thoughts

(continued from page 3)

Another had thought tnat small classes would be more
free and open in a girls' school. The need for more social events on
campus was pointed out: "It's definitely a good school, but there's
something missing in campus atmosphere. We need more week-ends
like Alumnae Week-end and the one with the Cowboy concert. The
campus looked alive." She also expressed the opinion that "it's not a
friendly campus; in fact, it's very cold. There's no community or
unity as one group."

More, however, "didn't expect it to be so friendly" or "thought the
kids would be snobby, but they weren't-it turned out great". One
who hadn't expected self-scheduled exams found them to be "really
fabulous."

A negative overall opinion was aired by a girl concerned with
individuality: "According to people that 1 talked with before 1 came
to Scott, I got the impression that Scott was a small, liberal arts
college which was dedicated to helping each individual develop her
own identity and to prepare her for life in today's world. But,
through my own experiences. 1 have found that Agnes Scott tends to
mold people into the accepted image of a Scottie rather than an
individual prepared to meet the changing world." On the positive
side, someone else believes that her year here has been a good
experience; "you learn what college is".

decide to present a play, what
else could be more natural than
for them to present Friedrich
Durrenmat's play. The Physicists

AURORA

The long-awaited Aurora is
here with short stories, poetry,
art, and music by students at
Agnes Scott. Two of the stories
reveal the thoughts and feelings
of a young girl with family
problems in two different
situations. Another story tells of
an old Jewish man's despair, and
later his renewed hope for the
future of his religious
community. The most unususal
story contains a simple plot
which is beautifully narrated in
medieval style.

The poetry ranges from haiku
to stream-of-conciousness, much
of it in free verse. A few of the
objects described are leaves,
trains, a statue, and the moon.
There are also impressions of a
party, a pop festival, and people
in general. The artwork is
varied, consisting of paintings,
sketches, rugs, and photography.
The publication as a whole is
interesting, and creatively done.
It would be good to see more
literery and visual artistry by
students here. There is a lot of
talent running around on this
campus which should have sunc
an outlet as this. Perhaps if the
Aurora were published more
frequently, we would have a
better opportunity to see and
express our native ability.

A Thank-you To Students

Recently, CA. asked the
student body to help Mrs. Echols
with a problem she had. Through
the Fulton County Department
of Family and Children Services,
Mrs. Echols had acquired a
hearing aid which was imperative
to her hearing anything at all. Yet
her hearing aid wouldn't run
without batteries and these she
had no money for. Needing
several batteries a week, she
found it impossible to run her

hearing device.

Karen Stufelmeyer, an Agnes
Scott alumnae working with this
department, contacted C.A. with
this problem. It was decided that
to raise funds, it would merely be
on a donation basis.

C.A. is glad to report that Mrs.
Echols now has the batteries
thanks to the Scotties
thoughtfulness and she thanks
each one of you wholeheartedly.

Fulbright Grants

The official opening of the 1971-72 competition
for grants for graduate study or research abroad,
and for professional training in the creative and
performing arts was announced today by the
Institute of International Education.

Annually, HE is responsible for the recruitment
and screening of candidates for U.S. Government
Full and Travel Grants authorized under the
Fulbright-Hays Act. For 1972-73, Full Grants are
available to 29 countries and Travel Grants are
available to 12 countries. Grants offered by
governments, universities and private donors of 14
countries are also administered by HE. Grants are
available to every region of the world.

These awards are designed to promote mutual
understanding between the people of the U.S. and
other countries through the exchange of persons,
knowledge and skills. It is expected that there will
be at least 600 awards available for 1972-73.

Candidates must be U.S. citizens at the time of
application, have a bachelor's degree of its
equivalent before the beginning date of the grant
and, in most and, in most cases, be proficient in the
language of the host country. Except for certain
specific awards, applicants may not hold or expect
to receive the Ph. D. before the beginning of the
grant.

Selection is based on the academic and/or
professional record of the applicant, the feasibility
of his proposed study plan, his language
preparation and personal qualifications.

Preference is given to candidates between the
ages of 20 and 35 and to those who have not had
prior opportunity for extended study or residence
abroad, with he exception of those who have served
in the armed forces.

Creative and performing artists are not required
to have a bachelor's degree, but they must have
four years of professional study or equivalent
experience. Applicants in social work must have at
least two years of professional experience after the
Master of Social Work degree. Applicants in the
field of medicine must have an M.D. at the time of
application.

Application forms and information for me
students currently enrolled in Agnes Scott
College ma > be obtained from the campus
Fulbright Program Adviser, Julia T Gary. The
deadline for filing applications through the
Fulbright Program Adviser, on this campus is
October 1, 1971 Students should talk to Dean
Gary while they return in the fall.

IT'S A GOOD THING
WE'VE REACHED
THE END OF
THE SCHOOL
YEAR

Hey, look at us -we made it through another year! But what did we
accomplish? Well, let's see...

Freshman, in spite of their ignorance, provided that they can
survive at ASC and generally refused to be beaten down, even by
English 101. Sophomores showed that Sophomore Slump is not only
endurable but can also be fun, especially when parents show up.
Juniors revived that ol' community spirit with their Junior Jaunt
project, and seniors became living (?) examples that a sense of humor
can be maintained (if perverted enough) through four years of Higher
Education (and some of the seniors were pretty high).

Charles Dickens appeared out of the past as we dolefully faced fall
finals;W.H. Auden appeared on stage, which seemed to be about as
much as he could do.

Sir John said his farewells last fall and other profs will be doing the
same soon. We'll start breaking in and breaking down another crop of
new ones next fall, right?

"Cowboy" came, folksingers came, the Hari Khrisna society came
and left and came again, dogs and cats came and stayed.

Arts excelled this year, as did my cliches. The Dance Group "did
their thing" like professionals who knew what their things was
supposed to be. Glee club sang so beautifully they should "go
international," as long as Europe doesn't have a Georgia Tech.
Blackf riars really "socked it to us" with two well-presented dramatic
plays and four thought-provoking "shorties" including a
first-time-ever, world-premiere,
say-you-saw-it-and-knew-the-author-even one-act by Miss Trotter.
And there was Arts Council, quietly but efficiently putting it all
together for spring Arts Festival.

Our social lives excelled in some respects, too. No more SRO
lobbies at 2 A.M. with Techers playing "countdown" on their
watches. No more trite excuses for being late. No more sheepherders
for security men. Just noisy fall-and winter-quarter freshmen who
didn't realize that some deadbeat upperclassmen occasionally spend
weekends in their own beds on campus, catching up on good
old-fashioned sleep (does anyone remember how we used to do that
catching-up?). And there fell upon us a lot of words about
responsibility, for those who were listening.

Cassandra was an angel, Sara was a devil, Carolyn proved that sex is
a highly marketable product, even at prim and proper ASC. Even
Convocation included commercials, as Dr. Alston said a few words
for "Manuel's Tavern."

And swarming around us were peace demonstrations, riots,
environment problems, the Atlanta charm and gaiety, struggling
Decatur, days at Calloway and nights at Stone Mountain. Men on the
moon, men in Vietnam, men in ghettos, men trying to find ways for
this country to straighten itself out. And lots of men trying to find
ways to unbend over-straight Scotties.

In the few moments I allow for reflection I can see that much has
happened this past year. The world, society, ASC, my friends, and I
all have been changed for better or for worse. Much was lost and
much was gained. And we all learned something. Everyone's world
expanded a little more because of the events of this year. How it
explained is a question only the individual can answer. But I am sure
this year did something for everyone.

Ah, 1970-71, what would we have ever done without you? What
would you have ever done without us? Let's be glad both of us were
worthwhile.

"And the seasons they go round and round
and the painted ponies go up and down;
We're captives onthecarousel of time.

We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
and go round and round and round in the circle game."

because no one can remember what studying is!

To Whom it May Concern:
Re: Class Pictures

The matter regarding the manner in
which the class pictures will be done
next year has aroused great interest
among the student body, and is of
great concern to the Silhouette staff.
The staff, in considering the informal
group shots, felt that the book would
provide better representation of life
and events of Agnes Scott-what and
how people are doing things. We felt
that one of the best ways to capture
these feelings and memories is through
the informal group shots. This will
enable the student to look back at
herself and remember-seeing herself
in a class, in the dorm, or at a campus
picnic.

Students will be allowed to
determine their own groups-whether
they want to be with a group of
classmates in a class, or out on the
hockey field playing catch, or with
friends performing a favorite "sport"
The informal shots can create an
impression one might wish to make
and/ or call to mind any scene one
might wish to remember.

The content of the picture, within
reason, will be each student's
contribution. This approach will allow
you to see people as they reaUy are,
and as they are usually seen--in
motion, as opposed to a "stiffer"
portrait. These pictures will not
conflict with the senior candids. We
have plans for the Seniors' pictures.

Good Luck to you and Bev

Honor- Are We Killing It at ASC?

Since Agnes Scott is a small school,
we felt it would be possible for
students to get together. In a way, this
will show a community spirit-people
working and "playing** with others.
Also, we hope to gain a new creative
outlook in the book through the
combinations of many imaginations.
And thirdly, the use of informal grpup
pictures will free the formal portraits
for you to use as you need them, Le,,
for gifts, job applications, passports,
etc. Our staff is willing to work harder
for all these extra advantages.

However, this undertaking will be
disastrous if not impossible without
your support and cooperation. In
order to finance the picture taking of
the informal pictures, we must
guarantee our photographer 600
students for formal portraits. Formal
portraits will be taken at the
beginning of fall quarter. These will be
made with four-six poses in color and
a one dollar per student sitting fee.
There is no obligation on the part of
the student to buy prints, but she will
be able to order pictures throughout
the year as she needs them for
applications, etc.

If 600 students do not have formal
portraits made, the yearbook cannot
possibly finance the informals, thus
formal portraits will be used as in the
past. Also, if groups can't get together
with everyone showing up promptly
for their pictures, we will be forced to
scrap the project. Hopefully we can
avoid this situation since, if there
aren't 600 students who have had
their portraits made, there will also be
a relatively low number of people
pictured in the class sections if we do
have to resort to the portraits. Only
through your help can we carry this
project through.

Wc need your help and cooperation.
We welcome your comments and
ideas. Please feel free to contact either
Lady Wornat, Box 681, ext. 306/307
or Janet Golden, Box 200, ext.
284/285.

We want to continue our plans for a
better and more meaningful yearbook.

-Janet Crolden
Silhouette Editor

As a student at this school, you must have agreed to uphold the
honor code on your college application-you signed your own name
under the pledge swearing to uphold its statement, or more precisely
to uphold the intangible meaning behind these words.

Exclusive of almost no one on this campus, the students hold the
stipulations of the academic honor code as important. The seriousness
of cheating, for example, is for the most part, I believe, well
understood. And yet what about the unacademic, the social part of
the honor code? Even with the very few and seemingly reasonable
regulations (since the passage of the works of SCRAP), is the social
honor code taken with as much seriousness and respect as is the
academic? I am not even beginning to try to pass moral judgement on
this part of the honor code-the possession of drugs or alcohol on
campus, coming in after hours for fall and winter quarter freshmen,
or even the pulling of another student's card who is planning to come
in late. However all of these things are against the honor code at
Agnes Scott-against the "laws" by which we live here.

What exactly is law? It is an institution established by men. Being
such, it can not always be right. The law may not always be
coincident with one's own personal morality. However laws are
established by men for the common good-men agree among
themselves to amend their own freedom to a certain degree in order
to enable them to live with others, each time a person breaks "the
law", he has helped to destory the central core behind law-he may
consider the individual law unjust, but the basis of law is not. In the
same way each time a student here at Scott has smoked grass in her
room, opened a door after hours, or pulled a card, she has essentially
destroyed a part of the foundation of law- the law here at Scott being
represented in our honor code. It is not that these acts have been
morally right or wrong to the individual himself (although this is of
course important for one's own well being). It is rather that he has in
a sense broken his bond with humanity-a bond made to establish the
best good for the most people. Law is not an impersonal being
dictating the ridiculous, but an institution established by men based
in the idea of cooperation.

There may just be a sale on Honor this week, but the rule usually is
that if two editors simultaneously and independently decide to write
editorials on the same subject, there must be something currently of
vital importance about that subject. And during the next ten days
Honor will be of great concern to many people; it should be of great
concern to about 750 people. The other editorial deals with social
and general Honor; I prefer to be more specific. Our priviledge of
self-scheduling final exams is in jeopardy because of lax Honor on
campus; the priviledge of self-scheduling is so important to me I will
fight like a grizzly to protect it

Melodramatic? Yes. However, when you stop snickering, start
thinking about our priviledge of self-scheduled exams. I considered it
quite carefully while out in California last February. In talking with
other college students the subject of exams occasionally arose, and
the sheer amazement and envy over the idea of choosing exams
schedules instead of being given them was overwhelming. "How can
they trust you THAT much?" was the general response.

This question plagues my mind now because I could not answer it
to anyone's satisfaction last February. Perhaps it is like a strange
quirk of fate, a small miracle, or some of Morrison and Boyd's
reactions-there is no clear explanation or basis for its existence, but
nevertheless it has chosen to exist.

And once again we are faced with the existence of brown envelopes
with words like "Honor" stamped on them and the message that
"this is only another intangible privikdie, it can be ephermal, f you
like" implied in them. When you consider the self-control, the
responsibility and the mutual trust which the system demands but
cannot monitor, you cannot help but be awed by the fantastic ideals
which self-scheduling presents. And when I consider the idea that we
are in danger of going back to proctored exams I can't help but feel
like Pauline on railroad tracks.

Scott is fortunate in that it does not have so many specific "laws."
Rather we have a basic code of ethics and conduct by which we are
expected to live. If a student has slipped up in social regulations
which she may not consider so important, what is to keep this laxness
from slipping over into the academic honor code the harm to the
fundamental way of thinking about our honor code has been just the
same. We as students signed a pledge to obey the honor code, and not
just the parts we wanted to, or the parts that we felt were right for
us, but all of it.

If the rules seem not to agree with the majority of the people's own
personal morality, than they can be changed or ammended, and there
are viable ways to bring about the change. But if, because it doesn't
suit the person at the moment, the honor code is broken, then that
person has failed to think of the deeper implications of all law and
the bond that it represents. We can not be sloppy with our honor
code. The effects of any sloppiness are too far-reaching for any of us
to control.

Priscilla Offen
Managing Editor

If self-scheduled exams are cancelled the student body will have
thrown away one of the most valuable and noteworthy assets of their
college. The idea of "Honor" will die. The belief in the responsibility
and maturity of the students to handle the powers that they request
and receive will die.

It is sad that it only takes a very few students to make this
proposed death a reality. They may gain a grade that will not mean a
damn in five years; we all know what the rest of us will lose.

Moral of this sermon: Please repress or destroy your impulse to
"take the easy way out." Don't cheat. Don't give some people the
opportunity to gloat "We KNEW they couldn't do it" as they prepare
to give us finals THEIR way.

If the grade is important enough to cheat for, then please spend
some time before Friday re-considering your purpose for being at
ASC and your own sense of self-respect. Please don't senselessly
murder this piece of pride and opportunity for your fellow students.

Olympia, Wash.-(I.P.)-One 0 f
the most interesting-and
significantaspects of the
development of The Evergreen
State College is the fact that the
new institution's teachers view
themselves not only as instructors
but also as learners.

This attitude is not tne
accidental by-product of the
pressure cooker atmosphere in
which Evergreen's
faculty-recruited from across the
nation and representing many
different academic fields-has
been given the awesome job of
putting together a complete
four-year college program in a
relatively short span.

To the contrary, the concept of
the faculty member as a
continuing lerner is central to the
plans of Washington's newest
public four-year college, which
opens to 1000 students next
September. The college was

"^nd gladly faolde \\t Itrnt

and gladly tttfyt*

founded by the 1967 State
legislature and given a charge to
design programs that will serve
students both today and in the
future.

Basic to Evergreen's idea is the
recognition that learning is a
never-ending process; that in an
age of change teachers must
continue expanding their own
mental horizons; and that
students will be best prepared for
roles in society through a flexible
program that stimulates their
own lifetimes of learning.

Also basic is another bit of
logic-that bodies or fields of
knowledge in a fast-paced,
technological work are so
interrelated that it is no longer
valid-if it ever was-to continue
to treat them as discrete entities.

As Vice President and Provost
David Barry puts it: "Our stress is
placed on cooperation and
interchange among members of a
learning community. Here faculty
and students will work together
to focus their multiple
perspectives on specific problems.
Unrelated content won't shape
the patterns of instruction.
Rather, academic content will
develop from the methods by
which these real problems will be
examined.

"Such an educational program
places a heavy burden on the
individual faculty member and
the student. The faculty member
must generate intellectual

awareness beyond the confines of
a single specialty and through
such a continuing pattern of
learning contribute to the team
teaching effort.

"The student must also
cooperate with his fellow learners
while st ;1 l developing an ability to
take more responsibility for his
own worK during his college years
so that his program of studies
matches his own academic
interests and ultimate career
goals."

At Evergreen this process is
called "learning how to
learn"-development of the skill
required to solve complex
problems, often within sets of

Abortions In New York Or Georgia

(Ed. note: James Trussell, a
co-author of the "Loving Book"
sent the following information to
the PROFILE. It has come to our
attention that several of the
abortion services operating out of
New York are fraudulent and are
turning abortion into a
commercial enterprise; if you
want to use an abortion agency,
please be especially careful and
alert for fraudulent companies in
New York and elsewhere. We
suggest that you plan an abortion
through the Atlanta service or
through one of the organizations
listed in the "Loving Book. ")

Following the repeal of the
New York abortion law effective
July 1, 1970, abortions have been
cheaper and easier to obtain in
New York than in Georgia.
Unfortunately due to he great
demand for abortions in New
York, profit-making referral
agencies have arisen. Many of
these agencies advertise in college
and underground newspapers.
These agencies should, however,
be avoided since the same services
are available free in the Atlanta
area.

When the duration of
pregnancy is less than 1 2 weeks
(measured from the time of the
last menstrual period), the cost in
New York should never be more
than $250 and should be closer
to $200. Transportation costs
(averaging $110.00 round trip
from Atlanta to New York) are
extra. The procedure normally
chosen in New York when
gestation is vacuum aspiration (or
suction). Vacuum aspiration is

r performed under either local or
general anesthesia, depending on
the woman's choice, and is
normally a one-day cut patient
procedure. Hence, a woman may
fly into New York City on the
early-bird flight, have her
abortion, and return to Atlanta
by evening. The cost of this
procedure in Georgia averages
$450-$500.

When the duration of
pregnancy is greater than 12
weeks, the procedure normally
used in New York to terminate

pregnancy is saline injection. This
procedure is both more
dangerous and more expensive
than vacuum aspiration. Hospital
stay averages 2-3 days. The cost
of a saline injection or
"salting-out" procedure averages
more than $500. Costs in Georgia
are similar.

Hence it is important that
women diagnose pregnancy early
and if they wish to terminate that
pregnancy, seek an abortion early
in pregnancy.

In order to combat the
profit-making referral agencies,
the Atlanta Abortion Referral
Service was organized. These
persons offer referral to New
York City and to Georgia
hosptials and counseling services
free. Ocassionally they can enable
a woman who cannot afford the
New York cost to receive a free
abortion.

There are 1 8 members of the
Atlanta Abortion Agency. Many
of them are ministers; others are
doctors, sociologists and private
citizens. Limitations of space
make it impossible to print the

CAPPING, 1971

Some might call it a "transfer of power." Others term it "recognition!
For many it is the symbol that another year is over; another group of
students called "seniors" is making its final performance, and a new
group is stepping in as the leaders in creating the "image" of ASC. lis
solemn and its fun. Its significant and it's trite. But whatever it is, it
will long be another ASC tradition that can't be ignored.

unfamiliar circumstances such as
those demanded in the "real
world."

Thus, the faculty member is as
much of a learning guide as a
learned dispenser of information,
recognizing that no one has all
the answers for every problem all
the time. The quest for answers
to human problems is shared by
all members of the learning
community.

Evergreen's tacuity members
will continue to pursue
scholarship in their own fields of
expertise.

However, they will also pursue
expanded interests beyond single
specialties to assure continuous
regeneration and vitality in
academic programs.

About The
Faculty

Three long-time members of
the Agnes Scott community will
retire this June. Mr. William
Calder leaves after 24 years as
head of the physics and
astronomy department. Miss
Mary Brooks, reserved book
room assistant librarian, and
Mr.W.B. Wilkinson, carpenter, are
also retiring.

A number of faculty members
have been awarded grants from
the college's summer study and
research fund. Mrs. Pinka will be
writing here. Mr. Gignilliat will

Marine Biology Station at Woods
Hole, Massachusetts. Working
toward doctorates will be Miss
r Schultz, Mr. Mathews, Mr.
Johnson, Miss Manuel, Mrs.
Diehl, and Mrs. Raffety, who will
study at the Sorbonne.

Miss Meroney is continuing her
research on the Loyalist
movment in he colonies. Mrs.
Willis is working on a research
instrument to measure the
"generation gap" on selected
issues. A joint research project
with students and faculty of
Scott and Georgia State,
sponsored by the National
Science Foundation, will involve
Miss Cunningham. Mr. Brown will
teach in summer school at
Emory. Mrs. Pepe and Mr.

D.E. Lillie, Glassblowers

Wonted-Used Books

Glassblowing:Science And Art

by CATHY PIDGEON

// you have been to D.E. Lillie, Glassblowers, at
Underground Atlanta on a Saturday evening,
perhaps you have seen Mr. Donald Lillie at work on
his glassblowing. Mr. Lillie not only owns this shop
in Underground but he also is responsible for
blowing the glassware for the chemistry department
at Georgia Tech.

There are several ways of making glass, that of
blowing, casting, and pressing the semiliquid glass.
The art of glassblowing is about two thousand
years old, and much of the equipment used today
by many of the glassblowers has changed very little
from the crude equipment.

Those glassblowers who produce the more
massive objects, such as huge vases, which are hard
to handle^use a large furnace with a blowpipe which
is a hollow tube from four to five feet long with a
knob at one end and a mouth piece at the other.
With the knob end of the blowpipe, the glassblower
picks up a blob of semiliquid glass and quickly
begins to shape and form it.

Mr. Lillie, however, uses a little different method
in his glassblowing although the basic principles are
still involved. All of his objects begin from
cylindrical tubes of various length and diameter. He
heats a tube over a small flame of natural gas and
oxygen at about 2700 F. The scientific definition
for glass defines it as a "supercooled" liquid.

Mr. Lillie commented that the secret comes in
knowing how the glass works, when it is in the
working stage, and just what it will do. While the
glass is still in contact with he flame, Mr. Lillie
twists and turns and shapes the tube. The ends of
the tube remain unsealed so that he can blow into
the tube and form an object. Precision is the key
word at this point. A time and motion factor is
involved, and an efficient glassblower has to work
rather rapidly. The finished object is slowly cooled
in an annealing oven.

Mr. Lillie designed his new Georgia Tech
laboratory which he believes is the most modern
and spacious one in the southeastern United States.
Even though glassblowing was determental to one's
health at the turn of the century because .of lack of
proper venelation and the silicon gases which
escaped from the glass, this is not a problem to the
glassblower anymore. Today fans provide the
needed ventilation ^and very little silicon gas escapes
from the semiliquid glass now used.

Mr. Lillie began glassblowing a litttle more than
twenty years ago as an apprentice to a professional
glassblower at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. In
1955 he came to Georgia Tech as a part-time
student and glassblower and graduated from Tech
in 1959 with a degree in physics. He is a member of
the American Scientific Glassblowers Society which
has a membership totaling approximately 500, less

than 50 of whom are from the United States, and {
eleven of whom are in Georgia. It requires from\
three to five years of continued and diligent
practice to become a fairly profic:~" f ^"-.sblower."

There are two types of glassblowing which Mr.
Lillie does. The scientific glassblowing which he
does for Georgia Tech requires precision but not as
much artistry as is involved in the type of
glassblowing done for Underground Atlanta. At
Tech drawings of special glass equipment are
submitted to him by the chemistry department. Mr.
Lillie claims as his crowning achievement the
diffusion pump which has four tubes sealed one
inside the other.

For a few years Mr. Lillie had a glassblowing shop
at Six Flags Over Georgia. More artistic work was
done here. The solid "Snoppy " was perfected
during these three years at Six Flags. He then
opened his shop, D.E. Lillie, Glassblowers, in
Underground A tlanta.

The glassblowing lab is located in Smyrna,
Georgia where five people work on items which
supply both the Underground shop and Godo
FrabeVs store at Lenox Square. The five people
who do the glassblowing are Godo Frabel, who is
also Mr. Lillie's partner, and Siggy Widmann, (both
from Germany), Frankie Fox, Tom-Rush, and Sally
Fuller. Those items sold in the Underground store
are sold at wholesale prices. They have received
orders from all over the United States but shipping
the glassware becomes a problem. There is almost
always someone at Mr. Lillie's store in
Underground to demonstrate and to answer
questons about glassblowing.

The glassblowing done at Underground has more
perspective and artistry than that of the scientific
glassblowing. Each object is unique in itself for
each object has its mark of individuality. Symmetry
and precision are most important. Mr. Lillie
explained that his company does not produce
"lacy" of "crocheted" glassware. Rather, their
items are designed to endure and are not as fragile
as "lacy "glassware.

Mr. Lillie defined glass as a "clear crystal
substance" and therefore he does not have many
items which are colored glassware. The very little
coloring which is used only for accent is made by
mixing an oxide, such as cobalt oxide for blue glass,
into the semiliquid glass medium. The object is
really alive, however, when there is a play of light
through the object itself.

Mr. Lillie feels that his best work from the
artistic glassblowing that he has done is the
birdcage. Sixteen rods were painstakingly pieced
together to form the cage. The bird perched on the
swing is all one piece and can be separated from the
cage itself. This birdcage took him six hours to
make. Another very in teres ting piece of glassware is
the replica of the Florentine thermometer, which
can be seen at his Underground shop. Eight feet of
capillary tube is coiled and filled with methyl
alcohol which rises and falls according to the
temperature. This took him six hours to make and
another two days to fill with the liquid.

For students who want to get
rid of their old books or buy used
ones at a saving, the Second Hand
Bookstore is the place to go. This
store is operated by the day
students as a service to all Scott
students.

Because the bookstore can be
an asset to the college
community, we would like the
help of students and faculty in
putting the store back on its feet.
In the past the store has not lived
up to its full potential and we
would like to see it become a
constructive part of campus life.

When a student brings books to
the bookstore for sale, she
indicates the price she wants for
them. After the books are sold a
10% fee is deducted by the
bookstore and the remainder of
the money is promptly returned

LANIER

to the student. Seniors and
students who are planning to
transfer may leave books at the
store along with their address and
have their money mailed to them
as soon as their books are sold.

Starting next year the
bookstore will be open at the
beginning and end of each
quarter in order for students to
buy books for the next quarter
and/or bring in any books they
would like to sell. This quarter
the bookstore will be open from
May 28-June 4 in the day student
study on the basement floor of
Buttrick for students who would
like to bring in books to be sold
next year (times will be posted
later). Please take advantage of
this opportunity and help us
make the bookstore a valuable
asset to the campus community.

At this lime I must regretfully submit to SGA President Sybil Peel And
the student body my resignation as Editor of the Agnes Scott
PROFILE, effective at the beginning of the next term. This resignation is
necessary due to the simple fact that I will no longer be a student at Agnes
Seott College next year.

Allow me to apologize in advance for any confusion and inconvenience
this move creates. However, the entire success of this change will depend
upon the COMBINED efforts of ALL OF US to support the newspaper. In
my opinion the PROFILE staff is capable of making the transition
smoothly, if it has the necessary support. I must hope and request that the
entire campus community give to my successors all the cooperation and
help it possibly can. I, too, will contribute to and aid the PROFILE as
much as I am able.

"Thanks" to everyone (particularly the hard-working members of the
staff) who helped me this quarter and also to those who patiently endured
the many moods and traumas of a newspaper editor. I do not regret
accepting the editorship, for it represented to me an awesome but welcome
choice of new perspectives and challenges, i only regret that my
"journalistic experiment" on the campus must end so soon and so
inconclusively.
