Scott Conducts Self-Study

Throughout the 1971-72
school year the entire Agnes
Scott community will be involved
in an intense Institutional
Self-Study Program. This
program is necessary for
eligibility for reaccreditation by
the Commission on Colleges of
the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools. The object
of this Self-Study which is
conducted once every ten years is
preparation of documents which
will be judged by a visiting
committee for eligibility for
reaccreditation. Through this
self-study the campus can review
its present aims and objectives
and make plans for the future.

The study program itself is
headed by Mrs. Myrna Young,
Associate Professor of the
Classics department. Seven
college-wide committees will be
working with her in compiling
the documents for the visiting
committee. They are: (1) The
Purpose of the College and
Planning for the Future, headed
by Mrs. Linda Woods, Assistant
Professor of English; (2) The
Organization and Administration
of the College, headed by Mr.
Michael Brown, Associate
Professor of History; (3) The
Educational Program (including
Special Activities, such as foreign

travel and study for credit;
non-credit short courses for
alumnae), headed by Mrs. Miriam
Drucker, Professor of
Psychology; (4) Financial
Resources (including Physical
Plant), headed by Mrs. Marion
Clark, Secretary, Office of Dean
of Faculty; (5) The Faculty,
headed by Miss Elizabeth Zenn,
Professor of Classical Language
and Literature; (6) The Library,
headed by Miss Mary Virginia
Allen, Professor of French; and
(7) Student Personnel, headed by
Miss Jo Raffety, of the French
Department. These committee
heads were appointed by Dr.
Alston. Several othr members of
the Agnes Scott Community will
be working with the committee
heads, but, as of now, these
members have not been
announced.

The study will begin with
individual reports from each
member of the department or
administrative unit. This will be
followed by a report from the
department or administrative unit
as a whole. Students will be
examining their organizations and
reports of the self-study will be
needed from each organization

Trustees will be doing an

Prof. Talks About
Herself, her India

by CINDY HARVEY

To feel the heart of India and
to feel more a part of ail
mankind, one need only spend
some time with Mrs. Mani
Kamerkar. She is a visiting
orofessor at Agnes Scott this fall
quarter. She heads the
department of History and
Political Science at Parle College,
one school of 24 in the
University of Bombay. Parle is
co-educational with about 3,000
students enrolled.

Her specialty? Modern India,
especially the eighteenth,
nineteenth, and twentieth
centuries. She hopes her Agnes
Scott students will begin to know
what really IS modern India
socially and culturally.

How did she find Agnes Scott?
(Don'l you know that we are
famous all over the world,
including India? ) When Miss
Campbell was in India about a
year ago, she met Mrs. Kamerkar.
They corresponded with each
other.

Since Mrs. Kamerkar desired to
live in the United States for a
time, Agnes Scott offered her a
lectureship. She is filling Miss
r ampbeirs place for a quarter.

bhe wants to understand
American culture and history
more. She arrived in this country
on August 6, 1971. She was
chosen as a delegate to a

conference in Philadelphia by the
Indian Federation of University
Women. She is active in many
women's groups.

At home in Bombay she left
her family of three. Her husband
is a lawyer in the High Court in
Bombay. (She says that this is
equivalent to our Supreme
Court.) She has a son, Anant
(which means "Everlasting"), 18.
He is in his second year at the
University of Bombay. Her
daughter, Jyoti (which means
"Light") is 14.

She expected to find "more
trouble" in America than she has
found. She anticipated a lot of
development and ease, which she

and functions.

The questionnaires given to
everyone involved in this
Self-Study Program are quite
detailed, encompassing almost
every aspect of the department or
administrative unit or
organization. The essential part
of this study needs to be
accomplished by the end of this
school year.

Through the participation and
enthusiasm of everyone involved
in . this intense Self-Study
Program, healthy changes can be
made and goals can be set for the
next several years.

On Thursday,
September 23,
members of the faculty

and administration
hosted a formal reception

for new students

and their sponsors
in the Winship lobby.

This followed the

by Mr. Raymond Martin

and Mr. Jay Fuller.

Pepperdene Presents
Exam Revision to Rep

Last Tuesday at Rep Council,
Margaret W. Pepperdene,
Chairman of the Academic
Council's Sub-Committee on
Self-Scheduling Examinations,
presented a proposed revision of
Scott's present exam system.

According to this revised plan,
the student will not schedule
examinations prior to the
examination period but may take
any examination she chooses at
any of the times set for
examinations.

This plan could be
administered in this way:

The student will hand in

has found. She is fascinated with
an electric stove, heaters, hot and
cold water.

She enjoyes classical music and
European ballet. One of her
favorite books is the Bhagavad
Gita. It means "Song of God"
and is a book of Hindu teachings
and philosophy. She also
mentioned that she liked the
writing of James Joyce a lot.

Her husband is a Hindu, while
she practices Zoroastrianism, a
simple, monotheistic religion
which began in Persia about 700
B.C. However, she also enjoyes
the Bible, such as the Psalms, as
good literature.

She finds our apple and
blueberry pies very delightful.
She has a diet of vegetables and
no meat.

She was pleased to find that
Americans are more friendly than
she expected. However she does
miss the "atmosphere" of India
and her friends and people.

She feels that India's two chief
problems are poverty and
population. If one could be
solved, the other would be also.

At the November 3
convocation Mrs. Kamerkar will
speak on "India-A Third World'
Culture?"

examination envelopes to her
instructors, with a card which
.gives the student's name and the
name and number of the course,
stapled to each envelope.

The instructor will check to see
that every student in the class has
turned in an examination
envelope, then will place a copy
of the final examination in each
envelope, and turn the envelopes
in to the Dean of the Faculty's
office, where they will be filed
under the individual student's
name.

During the examination period
all examinations will be
assembled in one room, filed
under the students' names.
During the times set for
examinations the student may
pick up the examination she
wishes to take at that time. The
faculty assistant will remove the
card from the examination
evenlope when it is handed to the
student. While the examination is
in progress, the faculty assistants
will put the date on each card
and file alphabetically. When the
student returns the completed
examination, the faculty assistant
will initial the card and re-file it.
The completed examinations can
then be made available to the
appropriate instructor.

Any student who has more
than three examinations left to
take at the end of the 4th
examination period (the end of
the 2nd day of examinations) will
be notified by the Dean of the
Faculty and urged to begin
immediately. Any student who
has more than three examinations
left to take at the end of the 6th
examination period (3rd day of
examinations) will be called to
the Dean of the Faculty's office
and required to schedule the
remaining examinations.

If a student neglects to take a
final examination, she will receive
an F (zero) for that examination.

But since the instructor has the
responsibility for determining the
relative value of the final
examination to other work in the

course, the instructor shall
determine whether to average the
F (zero) with other grades in the
course or to require the student
to take the final examination
before giving a final grade. In the
latter case, rules now governing
re-examinations shall apply.

This proposed revision was
discussed at length at the Rep
Council meeting and was
eventually, and wholeheartedly,
approved. There was some
concern about the timing of the
reminders sent out by the Dean
of Faculty's office; this concern
will be the basis for further
consideration by the Council's
Sub-committee. When the
proposal has been reworked, it
will be submitted to the faculty
for approval and, if approved,
will go into effect at the end of
this quarter.

Council

Validity

Questioned

At 5:20 this afternoon Rep
Council and Interdormitory
Council will hold a joint open
meeting in the Rep Room in
Rebekah. This meeting will be of
special interest, for Rep and
Interdorm will begin to discuss
the validity of Dormitory
Council's status as a judicial
political body. There is some
feeling that Dorm Council is a
bad organization without
sufficient duties to justify its
existence and should therefore be
deleted from Scott's elected
framework.

Any students with interest or
views on this subject, also any
students interested in our
political machinery and its
workings, might well put in their
appearance and their two cents.

Student Opinion

THE MRQFiLE

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia

30030

The views expressed in the editorial section of this newspaper are those of
the author and do not necessarily represent the view of the administration or
the student body. Entered as first class mail at the Agnes Scott Post Office.

The Dust Flies

This first Profile comes out with a brief explanation. I am
serving as general editor of the paper, having been elected
by the Board of Publications to replace Carole Kmc who
was unable to return to Scott this year. I worked on the
Profile my freshman and sophomore years, but for those
who do not recognize my name I might explain that I was
abroad last year. Further information will only be available
on request.

The editorial Staff of the Profile will be somewhat
different this year. Instead of there being an editor with a
staff, this year there will be a staff of editors with assorted
Reporters, typists, photographers, cartoonists, gossips,
friends, circulators, etc. (or does that sound optimistic?)
assigned to specific tasks. There will be the chaos and
confusion inherent in newspaper work, but our aim is to
make it fun.

Working as a triumvirate, Jan, Priscilla, and I hope to
produce a paper with more straight news and more relevant
features than ever before. We would like to reflect the
thoughts of the student body in many ways- through our
own articles, and through your letters and comments.

Even more important to us the opportunity for us to
create a paper free enough to experiment. We would like to
use imagination as a resource as we explore the possibilities
and actualities of Agnes Scott College. This is indeed the
year for self-study. Profile would like to feel that while
official committees are doing their ted i us evaluations, we
students will also be rediscovering the breadth of our
college experience.

The United Nations had a
celebration of Lenin's
achievements. The affair was
officially entitled the Lenin
Centenary, and was heralded in
two United Nations publications,
the UNESCO Courier of July
1970 arid the UN Monthly
Chronicle of May 1970. Since the
taxpaying public footed the bill,
it is appropriate that it be
informed of what it paid for.

UN Statement

According to the UN Monthly
Chronical, U Thant declares that
"Lenin's important contribution
to the advancement of human
rights and fundamental freedoms
had been widely recognized. "
The historical facts are directly
contrary to this statement
engendered by the UN. As
Benjamin Gittow, a man who was
head of the CPUSA before he
defected, records in The Whole of
Their Lives, that Lenin did not
believe in either morality or
freedom: "We [ the Communists]
do not believe in external
principles of morality.. .Commu-
nist morality is identical with the
fight to strengthen the
dictatorship of the proletariat. "
As Giffow's statement pointedly
suggests, Lenin was more
interested in a "dictatorship of
the proletariat'' than in
"fundamental human freedoms,"
as the UN's official
announcement suggests.

The Historical Facts

Furthermore, Lenin was not an
idealist, in spite of the UN's
attempt to portray him as one.
Another of Lenin's statements
reads' "We must be ready to

shows Lenin to be a political
gangster, instead of a political
idealist who wishes to help
mankind.

Lenin Lacks Support

The United Nations'
celebration made no mention of
the fact that Lenin exterminated
more than 10 million people, of
all political persuasions and
economic classes. Eugene Lyons,
an expert on Communism
graphically records the Leninist
slaughter in his book, Worker's
Paradise Lost.

That such massive
exterminations were necessary
shows that the Russian people
did not support Lenin. It is
therefore ludicrous for the UN
Lenin Centenary to portray
Lenin as a Russian hero.

The Lenin Symposium in the
UNESCO Courier is even more
misleading than the portrayal in
the UN Monthly Chronicle. Two
of the writers, Mstislar Keldysh,
and Vsevolod Stoletor, are
Soviets. The point, quite simply,
is that the two writers on Lenin
are Communists. If they were
not, the Soviet government
would never have hand picked
them to write on Lenin-patron
saint of the USSR. Naturally, the
articles in the UNESCO Courier
relfect a pro-Communist outlook.

The political persuasion is done
subtly, by suggesting that the
Red Army, which brought the
Russian people into line, was an
educational group, and that
Lenin helped to heal the wounds
between cultural minorities. The

To the Editor:

I have been very much
interested in copies of The Profile
which have just come to me. As
one who is deeply interested in
the students of Agnes Scott

I enjoyed all of the issues but
was particularly impressed by the
article on "The City of Decatur".
It is by far the most
comprehensive of the articles I
have read either in the Atlanta
Newspapers or the Weeklys in
DeKalb County. The reporter
showed unusual insight in her
grasp of both the history and
present situation here.

as well as many church oriented
ministries. Trinity Presbyterian
Church and Oakhurst
Presbyterian Church have
exceptional ministries among the
boys and girls and teenagers of
the Black areas of Decatur. I will
be glad to talk with anyone
interested in securing additional
information.

Status of Women
I was Interested in the material
dealing with the basic theme of
the status of women in today's
society. Some weeks ago, I
learned that a Chapel speaker at
Agnes Scott spoke on this theme
and stated that a member of

To the Editor:

On the eve of the opening of
the 1971/72 academic session at
Agnes Scott, our Sandra Garber
provided a most unusual
entertainment, in order to relieve
our fears of the oncoming morn.
This brave soul, after some
coaxing, managed, gracefully, to
somersault down our hall to the

applause of an appreciative
crowd.

We wish to thank Sandra for
her courage, her joy, and for
being such a good sport. We are
glad that there are people like
Sandra Garber in our school who
will somersault down the hall for
us.

We love you, Sandra

first assertion is disproved, once
again, by Lenin's own statement,
as recorded in Workers Paradise
Lost. "There must be submission v
to the armed Vanguard. During
the period when the proletariat
still needs the state, it does not
need it in the interests of
freedom, but in the interests of
crushing the antagonists."^

On Dealing With Enemies

According to Lenin's own
admission, then, the Red Army's
"educational" function was to
deal appropriately with its x
enemies. Of course, the UN
Centenary does not mention this
fact. As for Lenin's racial aid,
Lenin has this to say: "We can
and must write... in a language w
which sows among the masses
hate, illusion, scorn and the like
toward those of differing
opinion. " Obviously, this view \
would not resolve the racial
opinions which separate the
races. Theoretically, it
contradicts the UNTs desire for
peace; consequently, the UN is*
hypocritical in portraying Lenin
as a purveyor of racial peace.

In conclusion, the UN's Lenin
Centenary created a false image (
of a vicious dictation. And the
supreme injustice is that
American taxpayers were
unknowingly forced to pay for ^
the celebration.

the Ruling Elders of our church

influence on congregational life
here. She has represented Atlanta

You and Education

Why do you want or need an education? The orientation
books, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Sheepskin
Psychosis, say something about the nature of education in
general -at least they comment on what education should
not be. Furthermore they force us to reexamine our own
reasons for attending college. The liberal arts education
does not particularly address itself to training young
women for jobs. Nor is a women's college the best place to
come if only looking for a husband. Yet perhaps we will
not understand the answer to why we must all both want
and need an education until long after we have left Scott.

College gives to the student the optimum conditions for
satisfying her genuine thirst for knowledge. Probably no
other time in our lives will we be so free to learn. Later will
come husbands and jobs, and learning can no longer be our
vocation. And with concentrated learning comes the ability
to discriminate and to think critically. Even if we actually
retain only a small fraction of what we have learned, the
ability to "think things out" will remain. If a student will
earnestly try to enjoy all phases of her education, the
struggle and the pleasure, then she can find worth in herself
and an appreciation for others' ideas.

During the next few months, the PROFILE will be
running a series on the requirements of a liberal arts
education. Each discipline will be examined for its place in
the world and in the field of education. Finally we will
look at the related departments at Scott and what they are

Initiated five years ago under
the auspices of the Watkins

Passion For Learning Lost

Chicago, Ill.-(I.P.)-Administrators and students
who eye the future of American education and
leave the present to fend for itself are a major cause
of strife on college and university campuses,
according to Wayne C. Booth, the George M.
Pullman Professor in the Department of English at
the University of Chicago, and former dean of the
undergraduate college.

He believes that, because of this "futurism," a
college or university cannot defend the legitimacy
of its authority to students of faculty. Booth faults
university governances for forgetting the current
human needs of students and aiming "the
bureaucracy at both preserving itself and at
building a national reputation of some kind in the
future; at raising the average SAT scores of entering
students for the future; at increasing its Nobel prize
winners in the future."

The students, on the other hand, are too often
willing to corrupt the present in the name of an
abstract dream of a future which cannot be
obtained, Booth says. "They lack the education in
history and philosophy, in religion, and the arts,
that could teach them about their own frailties and
make them less confident about the reliability of

their pure immediate impulses and ideas."

The crisjs on the campus is merely a micocosm of
what is happening in our democratic society, Booth
observes. He seconds Walter Lippmann's assertion
that failures of authority are especially likely in
democratic societies when insecure and intimidated
politicians "advance politically only as they manage
to manipulate the demanding and threatening
elements in their constituencies."

To some extent, Booth contends, university
administrators and faculty function like these
politicians and so the validity of their authority to
govern is questioned continually. "We professors
sell ourselves short when we talk of ourselves as
having nothing to teach and start taking democratic
votes on what should be learned," he says.

A belief in the process of representation and
respect for authority will return to the students,
once the university community rediscovers a
passion for learning -- a payoff, he adds, that ought
to be now instead of some time in the future.

Booth urges a reexamination of the present status
of education, a "critique that will be far more
radical than anything most of the so-called radical
faculty or students will be able to manage."

the Pooh. Yet these intriguing
credentials are easily lost in the
list of tales classmates could tell
of Sybil's years here at Scott. On
campus she has proudly owned
frisbees, kittens, and parrots. Off
campus she has taken advantage
of Atlanta's many opportunities-
having acted as usher for concerts
and operas, and having been
tear-gassed at Piedmont Park.
(Ask Sybil about the Art of
Innocent By-standing sometime.)

As President of Rep Council,
Sybil chairs the legislative and
executive arm of the Student
Association at Agnes Scott. There
are 24 other members of Rep
Council, including representatives
from each class and each dorm.

Rep Council's duties are
strictly legislative and executive.
Rep handles no judicial
authority. Rather, Rep is
responsible for any revisions in
the Student Association
Constitution and for any changes
in the structuring of Boards.

Estimating Rep's emphasis for

(NSIAC), according to its
director, Scott McCutcheon. He
previously headed BU's student
volunteer program, Urban
Educational Services.

Located at 704 Commonwealth
Ave., the NSIAC will maintain
complete files on student
volunteer programs throughout
the nation, enabling colleges and
universities to share their
experiences with each other and
with schools establishing new
programs.

The NSIAC also will produce
eleven program kits on
specialized programs such as
public and mental health, drug
education, family planning and
legal aid.

Night is drawing nigh-

"Where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:3)

In a whirling fire of annihilation

In the storm of destruction

And deadly cold of the act of sacrifice,

You would welcome death.

But when it slowly grows within you,

Day by day,

You suffer anguish,

Anguish under the unspoken judgment which hangs over your life,
While leaves fall in the fool's paradise.

The chooser's happiness lies in his congruence with the chosen,
The peace of iron filings, obedient to the forces
of the magnetic field-
Calm is the soul that is emptied of all self,
In a restful harmony-
This happiness is here and now,
In the eternal moment of co-inherence.
A happiness within you-but not yours.

The anguish of loneliness brings blasts from the storm center of
death: only that can be really yours which is another's, for only what
you have given, be it only in the gratitude of acceptance, is salvaged
from the nothing which some day will have been your life.

Schloss... Schloss...

Have you noticed the Olympic sweatshirts
around campus? Or the relative abundance of Durer
prints and Rembrandt posters? Not to mention
Munich mugs.. ..Certain words seem to send a
curious selection of students into a different realm.
Just mention the name "Wolfgang," and you hear
sighs and see smiles and far away looks. When the
word "Schwalm" is spoken, these same students
dart each other looks and burst into laughter.
Complain about the five-minute walk to Dana, and
you will get a tall tale about the forty-minute hike
up THE HILL. In Letitia Pate, these same students
have avoided any form of potato since arriving at
Scott, but they seem to feel right at home with
Sunday night cold cuts.

QUESTION: Who is "Wolfgang;"
"Schwalm;' 1 where is The Hill???

ANSWER: Ask any of the thirty-one girls who
spent six weeks of concentrated study this
summer in Marburg, a small university town
north of Frankfurt, Germany.

Since l c nO, plans had been underway in the
German and Art departments of Agnes Scott
College for students to have an opportunity to
study in Germany. This summer five courses were
ottered by Scott for credit. Mrs. Pepe was in
Marburg to teach the five-hour course on art of the
northern Renaissance. Besides attending
slide-lectures and reading about the artists of this
period, students kept their own notebooks of the
paintings which they saw on weekend museum trips
with the entire group. In a special three-hour
course, Dr. Kunst from the University of Marburg
lectured on the high points of art in Germany.

Of the three German courses offered during the
six-weeks' period, one was the 101 German,
another. German conversation; the third, an
advanced reading course with Herr Bicknese. The

advantages of studying the language of a country
while living there are obvious. For all the Scott
students who stayed in Marburg, German is no
longer only a voice on the language lab tape. The
summer's experience brought the German students

Glee Club

Members of the Agnes Scott Glee Club will have
a unique opportunity this summer-to travel behind
the Iron Curtain. Invitations to sing in Zagreb,
Yugoslavia, and Budapest, Hungary, have been
extended to the Glee Club as a part of their
European Concert Tour. Ginger Rollins, tour
chairman, in conjunction with Concerts Abroad,
recently completed the summer itinerary which will
take the singers from New York to Brussels, Paris,
Geneva, Amsterdam, and Venice. The tour, planned
for June 5-June 27, is the first of its kind for a
Scott group. Included as well is an invitation to
participate in the prestigious Vienna Music Festival.

The addition of many off-campus engagements
will expand the regular concert season at Scott.
One of the most exciting of these is an invitation to
sing in concert with Margaret Deidrichs. Miss
Deidrichs. who now makes her home in Atlanta,
has performed with the Robert Shaw Chorale and
has been a featured soloist throughout the country
and abroad. The concert, a part of the annual
Atlanta Dogwood Festival, is sponsored by the
Pro-Mozart Society.

Throughout the year the members of the Glee
Club will sponsor numerous activities to augment
the tour fund. Only student support of these
activities will insure a successful concert tour-a
tour which is an honor and a great opportunity f r
the students and the college.

into the living middle of the language, and even the
art students with absolutely no background in
German were speaking whole sentences before the
summer was over.

Most of the plans for the Marburg program were
arranged by Dr. Bicknese, including the curriculum,
room and board, field trips, and plane tickets. The
majority of the group lived in the "studentendorf,"
a group of coed student dormitories, while a few
girls lived in boarding houses within the city. Meals
could be prepared in the dorm kitchens, but lunch
was usually eaten in the large student dining hall or
"Mensa." In either case, meeting students from
different parts of the world was possible, since
Marburg is a world center for summer study of the.
German language.

Season at the Alliance Theatre

The Alliance Theatre Company will open its
1972 season on Januaiy 12, it was announced
recently by Managing Director, David Bishop. In
announcing the 8 play season. Bishop stated that
three of the productions would be "world
premieres. "

The lineup of productions in order:

THIS WAY TO THE ROSE GARDEN by Don
Tucker and Roger Cornish (a new musical)

AH, WILDERNESS! By Eugene O'Neill

BROWN PELICAN by George Sklar (a new play)

PYGMALION by George Bernard Shaw

IVANOV by ANTON Chekhov

ANTHONY BURNS by Pat Freni (a new play)

THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE by Jay
Presson Allen adapted from the novel by Muriel
Spark

HAMLET by William Shakespeare

Studio Theatre Play

The Actor's Workshop announces that rehearsals
have begun for their production of Tennessee
Williams' Sweet Bird oi Youth. The play will be
produced in the Studio Theatre of the Atlanta
Memorial Arts Center on November 12-14, and
November 19-21.

Calendar of Events

The High Museum of Art, located in the Atlanta
Memorial Arts Center, Peachtree at 15th Streets,
Atlanta, announces the following exhibitions for
Fall, 1971.

Durer and His Times - reproductions of woodcuts
and engravings and documents from Albrecht
Durer 1 s life (1471-1528), an exhibition in the
Galleria through the courtesy of the German
Consul in Atlanta, Roland H.A. Gottlieb, August
28 through September 21.

The Campbell Museum Collection - a display of
silver and porcelain tureens from the 17th, 18th,
and 19th centuries, circulated by the Campbell
Museum, September 18 through October 24.

In Wilderness is the Preservation of the World - an
exhibition of color photographs circulated by the
Sierra Club on view in the Galleria, September 1 1
through October 3.

Though the concentrated courses took up most
of the time, the group visited other German cities
on weekends and became familiar with the folk
culture of the Marburg area on afternoon field
trips. Perhaps most memorable was the weekend
stay in West Berlin with the trip over the wall into
the eastern section. Other weekends were spent in
Brussels and Amsterdam, with stops in Brugge and
Ghent, and in Munich, with a stop in Nurenburg.
The group also made day trips to Frankfurt, Kassel,
and the Schwalm. Visits- to the art museums in the
major cities took (op priority as the students
became familiar with the original works of the
northern Renaissance great. Just as the art students
began to pick up the language, so the German
students were soon able to recognize the styles of
various artists from Durer to Rembrandt.

Every aspect of the summer program is now
being evaluated, and already hopes are high that
such an experience will again be possible for Agnes
Scott students and faculty members.

COLUMBIA SEMINARY

C. Benton Kline
New Seminary Head

by CATHY

A former Dean of Faculty and
professor at Agnes Scott has re-
cently become the president of
Columbia Theological Seminary.
Dr. C. Benton Kline, Jr. succeed-
ed Dr. J. McDowell Richards,
who retired as president last June.

Dr. Kline left Agnes Scott in
1969 to become the Dean of
Faculty and professor of theol-
ogy at Columbia Seminary. When
asked what he hopes to accom-
plish during his term as presi-
dent, Dr. Kline explained that he
had "no big blueprint." He does
hope to see the development of a
stronger and more creative insti-
tution. Also, he would like to
have a better relationship be-
tween the seminary and the
church. One program that he is
pursuing is that of more contin-
uing education for ministers.
Ties That Bind

For many years Columbia
Seminary has had interlocking
ties with Agnes Scott. Dr. Kline
hopes to strengthen this relation-
ship. The property of each
school is adjacent; the same cam-
pus planner was hired by both
institutions. Faculty members
have been shared by each, for
instance Mr. Tumblin, Dr. Gar-
ber, and Dr. Martin of Agnes
Scott have been visiting profes-
sors at Columbia; Dr. Cousar and
Dr. DeWitz of Columbia have'
been visiting professors at Scott.
One program enables the ex-
change of students as well as of
faculty members.

However, when asked about
the possibility of merging the
two colleges, Dr. Kline seemed
rather doubtful that this could

PIDGEON

ever be successfully accomplish-
ed. Dr. Kline said that it is dif-
ficult to combine a women's col-
lege with a seminary. First of
all the purposes of the two in-
stitutions are too different: Ag-
nes Scott is a liberal arts college
whereas Columbia is concerned
first with other seminaries and
then with other colleges.

Dr. Kline remembers his twen-
ty years at Agness Scott as a
"warm time." Dr. Kline came to
Scott in 1951 as the first full
time instructor in philosophy.
At that time there was no real
philosophy department. Dr.
Kline became the chairman, de-
partment of philosophy in 1957.
That same year he became Dean
of Faculty at Scott.

As chairman of the committee
that helped design the Dana Fine
Arts building ,Dr. Kline put three
years of his time and energy into
this work. Throughout his stay
at Scott he and his family lived
on campus. His son John, now
a junior at the University of
Georgia, was the mascot of the
class of 1956. Their daughter,
Mary Martha, is a junior at De-
catur High School.

In addition to the work he has
done at Scott and Columbia, he
has also served on the DeKalb
County Advisory Committee of
Family Service Society, the exe-
cutive committee of the South-
ern Association of Colleges for
Women, vice-president, United
Nations Association of Atlanta,
chairman, Presbyterian Guidance
Council, and chairman, Campus
Christian Life Council, just to
name a few.

Economic Problems Affect
Freshmen Enrollment

The official classification lists for 1971-72 have not yet been completed, but an unofficial classification
list shows the 71-72 session to include:
173 freshmen.

173 sophomores, including 7 transfers and 1 not in residence fall quarter.

167 juniors, including 7 transfers, 4 taking Junior Year Abroad for the entire year and 1 for fall quar-
ter only.

155 seniors, including 2 not in residence this year and 1 not in residence fall quarter.
6 specials, including 2 transfers and a visiting senior from another institution.

Of these 674 students there are 198 on new student basis, including freshmen, transfers, readmitted
and special students.

The number of applications
for this year was 12 less than
last year, but an unexpected
number of those accepted by
Agnes Scott did not accept our
offer of admission. As a result,
the freshman class is smaller than
last year, although the number
of transfers is larger.

This situation is a part of the
whole national picture in higher
education. The nation is in its
third year of what has been des-
cribed as a full-blown financial
crisis. This is the major factor
affecting enrollments in colleges
and universities over the country.
The higher cost private college
enrollments are down while more
students are attending public in-
stitutions, especially junior and
community colleges, whose tui-

tion rates are lower.

This year's drop in college
applications was reported by the
U. S., Office of Education as
early as February. By the end of
July Newsweek reported 400,000
unfilled openings in freshmen
classes alone. Again, the econo-
mic situation in the country was
cited as the major factor. Scott's
scholarship budget had to be in-
creased drastically to help stu-
dents return this year. The
scholarship budget was increased
from $200,000 in 1970-71 to
$236,000 for 1971-72, although
the income on endowed scholar-
ship funds is only $57,000.

Of course, factors other than
the economic have entered into
the national and local situation
they include the desire of some

GEORGIA GOVERNOR'S MANSION

French Students
Attend Reception

by ELLEN FLYNN

At the invitation of the Alliance
Franchise d'Atlanta,a small group
of Scott students attended a re-
ception at the Governor's Man-
sion on Tuesday, September 28,
1971, at 8:30 p.m. His Excel-
lency M. Olivier Guichard, Min-
istre de I'Education Nationale
Franchise was the guest of honor.
Other dignitaries honored at the
reception were M. Jean Donnard,
cultural affairs minister from
Washington, M. Jean-JacquesPey-
ronet, Consul General to New
Orleans, and several members of
the Ministre's cabinet and staff.

A lecture on Alain Robbe-
Grillet's newest nov e\,Projet Pour
Une Revolution a New York,
given by Mme. Jacqueline Cou-
loure-Elliott of the University of
Tennessee, preceded the recep-
tion. M. Robbe-Grillet is one
of France's most respected and
yet controversial novelists. An
exponent of the "new novel"
and "roman de I'absense," his
works invariably provoke inter-
est, conversation and sometimes
violent debate. The author
taught for several years at the
University of Chicago. He is also
well acquainted with New York

City a city he describes with
chilling attention to detail and
almost mechanical precision in
his latest novel.

Following the conference, His
Excellency M. Guichard spoke
briefly on the differences be-
tween the French and American
educational systems. M. Gui-
chard made himself available for
further informal discussion and
conversation while refreshments
were served in the ballroom.

students not to enroll in college
at all, or at least to postpone en-
rollment; and the trend toward
coeducation, reported as less pro-
nounced this year by Newsweek,
which described a growing back-
lash against the trend, as more
women's colleges decided to re-
main single-sex institutions, and
some that had made tentative
decisions to become coeduca-
tional have reversed their deci-
sion.

It is interesting to note that
the few private colleges that have
reported any increase in enroll-
ment have cited as major reasons
for this the dropping of College
Boards from entrance require-
ments, more flexibility in degree
requirements, new and innovative
changes in curriculum, and more
cooperative ventures with other
colleges and universities.

All colleges have reported de-
lays in applications being com-
pleted and more changes of minds
in the late summer about enroll-
ment these factors were cer-
tainly evident at Scott, where an
unusually large number of appli-
cations failed to submit all mat-
erial needed to complete the ap-
plications vital information
such as transcripts or entrance
test results or health reports
or were slow in making a final
decision about enrollment. This
latter fact applies to returning
students, many of whom changed
their plans in July and August -
or even in September.

Leadership at its Best

It is now time to consider the value of cool heads and courteous be-
havior in student government. The open Rep Council I Interdorm
meeting of September 28 bore the characteristics of open warfare.
Sybil Peet's gavel was little more than formality when she called the
joint meeting to order.

The purpose of this meeting was stated as consideration of the
functions of Dormitory Council on this campus, assessment of the
reasons for the resignations of 1 1 of the 30 elected Dorm Council
members last summer, and evaluation of the need Student Govern-
ment has for Dorm Council as a body.

Everyone present knew the purpose of the gathering, and each had
come prepared armed with a preset opinion, a more or less prepared
speech, and perhaps even a tinge of fear for the coming proceedings.

Now, generally, hot issues do not abound here at Scott. The Dorm
Council issue, however, plainly singed the hair of more than a few
members of the student body. For that the Rep I Interdorm endeavor
might be commended. As an example of outstanding inter-board
cooperational functional parliamentary procedure, however, Rep I
Interdorm of September 28, 1971 , deserves no more reward than a
gold-embossed, empty toilet-paper roll, if even that.

It took no more than a glance at those who attended to predict
the nothingness the meeting would produce. First of all, the Dorm
Presidents and the Dorm Council members had interpreted the evalu-
ation of Dormitory Council as an unjust, unexpected slap at their
persons. As a consequence, these came to the Rep Room breathing
virtual fire. Rep members themselves had expected this reaction;
they met it sitting unperturbed behind asbestos masks. Nevertheless,
before the meeting ended even the Rep Council gods began to send
forth billows of smoke. Further complicating the whole atmosphere
were the many concerned students who had come to fan the flames
of open meeting.

So you ask, with a group so hostile-natured as this, could con-
structive discussion have emerged? I think perhaps so. The discen-
sion and disagreement of the group could have become tools for an
immensely creative and productive session of Student Government.

The controversial nature of this issue was not unexpected. It
would not have been out of order, then, for the President of Student
Government to have anticipated the uproar and avoided it by asking
the "factions, " perhaps, to prepare statements to present before
Rep/lnterdorm. The issue might then have taken the form of debate
it could have been presented in role plays it could have been
delivered (heaven preserve us) in sermon style. The possibilities were
many. Unfortunately, diversity is so seldom seen at Scott, disagree-
ments so rarefy found, that the possibilities were not recognized.

As it worked out Sybil attempted to lead the hot-headed discus-
sion along productive lines. She called on speakers in rapid succes-
sion, making an obvious attempt to leave none out, often clarifying
points by summing up. The more impassioned speakers she called
out of order. But in doing so, Sybil appeared to overstep her bounds.
Never was any motion made or any vote taken. No official tally of
the meeting's feelings can therefore be had. Rather, throughout the
meeting, Sybil seemed to serve as a spokesman for Rep. Since
Sybil's actual elected role In Rep Council is that of presiding officer,
perhaps some enterprising member of Rep should appoint herself
spokesman for the group and leave Sybil to preside.

But, in summary, no meeting should leave behind such a wake of
hurt feelings. The abruptness of Sybil's out-of-order rulings was a
main cause, and for this reason some students feel that Rep Council
needs to have a Parliamentarian to enforce an air of civility.

I think courtesy would serve the same function.

Ginny Simmons
General Editor

It was a rewarding pleasure to
read Miss McGuffs article on
Lenin. I shall certainly keep it,
not only for its brilliant argumen-
tation but also for the quotations.

The communists, being slight-
ly annoyed at the reputation
their most patent atrocities were
beginning to give them, very
cleverly decided to choose a
scapegoat. This, I believe, is one
of the reasons for the propa-
ganda directed against Stalin, so
Lenin could still be sold to
Westerners as a pure idealist and

a benefactor of the Russian peo-
ple. The Westerners, as usual,
fell into the trap.

The truth, as Miss McGuff
remarks, is of course completely
different. Lenin initiated the
most tragic catastrophe of mod-
ern times. The American public
should in particular be reminded
that it was Lenin's fault that
Russia signed the separate peace
of Brest-Litovsk, which cost the
United States not a few lives.

The creation of extensive con-
centration camps, generally as-

cribed to Hitler, belongs by
right to Lenin. The number of
millions of people destroyed in
them seems to indicate that
Lenin was not only the first to
create them, but also the more
efficient of the two on putting
them to their natural use.

Before becoming enthusiastic
about Lenin, our drawing-room
marxists and other liberals should
check into the fate of their Rus-
sian counterparts as soon as Len-
in had his way . . .

Interrupted Snores

A liberal arts education at Agnes
Scott College can be achieved
through a variety of experiences.
For most people this can be
achieved through class lectures,
term papers, visiting speakers,
etc.

However, for some of us who
enjoy campus life as resident
students our educational exper-

ience has been expanded far be-
/ond the academic realm of ASC.
In addition to the learning ex-
periences acquired inside the
dormitory, we have also been af-
forded the opportunity to see
and hear student night life in
campus parking lots.

It is apparently unknown to
some students and/or their dates

that they are providing unwanted
nightly entertainment. Should
you and your date qualify in this
category, remember the eyes and
ears of many a Scottie are upon
you, some by choice, but MOST
because noisy goodnights are
most difficult to sleep through.

getting the kinks out

Having anticipated Sunday
dinner in a manner not unlike
that of Pavlov's dogs, there's
nothing more upsetting than to
sit down with three or four peo-
ple mumbling 'Think fat." One
of the amazing things about Scott
is the mass of dieters one en-
counters every day. It's enough
to ruin your own appetite. A-
bout the best thing you can do
is to reason with yourself: if
you think fat now, you'll be
thinking "candy bar" in acouple
of hours!

Mass dieting is only one of
the many new situations a girl
faces in adjusting to life at Scott.
There's that first fraternity party
that's so funny to talk about
later but may have been a real
fiasco at the time. When your
car full of rush girls arrives half
an hour after the Massey and
Grady girls show up, it can be a
little disconcerting. That's es-
pecially true when the ratio is
2:1 in the boys' favor (more
girls than boys, naturally) and
the only remaining boys aren't
sober enough to stand on their
OWN two feet. (NEVER wear
sandals.) Another first is the
Hub party before classes start.
Remember how great it felt to
be a part of all that singing and
to wonder if you'd know the
words to "Tired Old Seniors"
by the time you WERE one?

How about the first time you
realized that you weren't neces-
sarily the smartest one in your

your self-concept. One of my

APOLOGY

Cathy Pidgeon and I would
like to apologize for the mistakes
made in the article on Scott's
self-study which appeared in the
last issue of the PROFILE. She
and I, author and proofreader,
took away Mr. Michael Brown's
promotion to Professor of His-
tory and made him an associate
professor again. Mrs. Jo Raffety
could read that she was evidently
no longer married but was a
"Miss" again. And Mr. Marion
Clark, Professor of Chemistry,
must have been surprised to see
that his wife is now the Secre-
tary to the Dean of Faculty and
heads the committee which he
was to head.

I do regret any confusion
these errors may have caused.
I'm only glad that Professor
Laney is no longer here to put
corrected copies of the PROFILE
in the editors' boxes she
would have had a hay-day with
this issue.

feel a bit better. Crying didn't
help, either. But things HAD to
go uphill, and they did. When
I realized that I didn't have to
go out twice every weekend plus
shopping all day Saturday, the
academic situation improved a
little. Still, I didn't know how
to study quite as well as I
thought I did (as was evident
from my grades freshman year).
Sticking with it was certainly
worth the effort, though, as al-
most ANY senior will tell you.

Another of my misconcep-
tions about Scott was that every-
one would be a walking Emily
Post. My mother had spent the
year before I came to Scott
correcting my table manners and
passing on little gems about lady-
like behavior. Wouldn't she have
collapsed if she had seen my
roommate cooling her carrot
sticks in her ice water? There
are so many of these little inci-
cents that your mother can't
possibly prepare you for! Nor
can your mother be adequately
prepared for the changes that
her daughter is going to make
during her college years. How
will she react to your newly
straightened or frosted hair?
What would she think of your
coming in from a date at 2:00
a.m.? Would she be shocked to
see your puffy eyelids and the
circles under your eyes during

test weeks? This is truly a per-
iod of adjustment for parents
as well as for students.

But adjust you will. Every
day you come face to face with
new prespectives, successes and
failures. Now is the time to get
the kinks out. You're on your
own and you can do it. And
there are lots of people around
to help you when you think
you can't,

Broadening Experience Thins Out

In an effort to create the best
possible spirit on campus, the
spirit committee has taken action
to stop various student com-
plaints. The committee espec-
ially hopes to rid our campus of
one complaint, that of "inac-
tion" or the ever present ques-

do something about that."

How many students at Agnes

How many procrastinate daily

sponse, the spirit committee

set up a program to promote
diets.

result of the reorganization of
student government last year.
This Board provides an oppor-
tunity for all of the board presi-
dents to meet together to coor-
dinate and plan campus activ-
ities.

Specifically the purpose of
this board is:

a) "To actively support and pro-
vide a means for the expression
of the interests of the students."

b) "To coordinate and evaluate
all activities on campus."

c) "To publicize on-campus ac-
tivities and off-campus activities
of interest to the student."

The Board is made up of the
Presidents of the major boards
on campus (AA, Social Council,
Christian Association) ; the Chair-
men of Interdormitory Council,
Arts Council, and Orientation
Council; the NSA Coordinator;
the Class Presidents; and the
Spirit Chairman. In addition
there are four members-at-large:
two from the Sophomore Class
and two from the Freshman
Class and two officers of the
Board itself: the chairman, Gigi
Wilson and Secretary, Betsy
Smith.

These members meet every
other Wednesday at which time

by FRAN ELLINGTON

each board chairman reports on
the activities and plans of her
particular board. These reports
serve to prevent overlaps of plan-
ned activities and to promote a
sharing of ideas between organ-
izations. These meetings also
provide an opportunity for ideas
for any activities to be directed
to the proper board.

In addition to coordination of
the various activities of the boa-
rds, the Board of Student Ac-
tivities has special projects which
it sponsors as a whole. One of
these projects is the sale of the
Student Calendar which lists all
of the important activities on
campus for the coming year.
On Sat. October 23 the Board
is also sponsoring an afternoon
concert in the Amphitheater for
Black Cat. This concert will fea-
ture the group Mason Prophet.
The campus Christmas party will
also be sponsored by the Board.
This party will be held on Sun-
day, Dec. 5, following the Glee
Club Concert.

Gigi Wilson, Board Chairman,
encourages anyone who has ideas
or problems for any of the var-
ious organizations on campus to
come talk to her from 6 p.m.
to 7 p.m. Monday through Thurs-
day in the student government
offices in Rebekah.

proposed changes. Accordingly,
the spirit committee began cir-
culating petitions to check stu-
dent support.

Student Response

The response has been enthus-
iastically in favor of the changes.
The number of signatures accum-
ulated, 410, indicates the stu-
dent approval. A few students
said they preferred not to sign
the petition because they don't
sign any petitions or because
they liked the food the way it is.
The new plan, however, would
not change the whole menu; it
would merely allow those inter-
ested the opportunity to choose
foods low in calories.

The spirit committee did not
extend the petition to faculty
members since they use the din-
ing hall only occasionally. How-
ever, several faculty members
have voiced their support and
offered to sign it.

Now that sufficient support
has been voiced through these
petitions, many particulars must
be worked out before any chan-
ges can be made. The encour-
agement of diets should decrease
second and third helpings as well
as the amount of food taken
out of the 'dining hall. Hope-
fully, overall dining hall costs
will decline because students will

be eating less.

If the project is enacted as
planned, Agnes Scott students
will not have excuses for not
beginning a diet because the op-
portunity and encouragement
will be present at each meal.
And, hopefully, the overall cam-
pus spirit will improve.

If their plan is put into op-
eration, it will include posting
a daily menu in the dining hall
indicating the lowest calorie food
available. To further encourage
diets, they would like to see one
low calorie vegetable and one
low calorie meat served at each
meal.

Mary Jane King as president
of the Spirit Committee con-
fronted both Dr. Alston and
Dean Jones with these ideas.
Each indicated his support and
suggested that she consult Mrs.
Saunders in the dining hall about
the practicalities of their pro-
ject.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Last Thurs-
day morning Spirit Committee
submitted the diet program peti-
tion with over 400 signatures to
Scott dietician Mrs. Barbara F.
Saunders. The plan was then ap-
proved and put into effect at
supper that night. What's your
excuse now?

Scott Student Sees "No Joy of Living" in East Berlin

by PAM ARNOLD

It was a Sunday morning when four of us set out
for what was my first trip into East Berlin. Walk-
ing through the streets of the West I was aware of
the typical Sunday activities of Germany. Bells
were ringing everywhere and the streets were not
as full as usual, only families going to church or to
visit friends across town. The quietness, contrast-
ed with the previous evening of neon West Berlin
night life, was peaceful.

We left this peace of the outside world and des-
cended the stairs to the U-Bahn (subway) where
hundreds of people were being shuttled to hun-
dreds of places and all was excitement, especially
for us. We were going to the Other Side. Those
other girls of the Agnes Scott group who had been
the day before had told us all kinds of things that
had happened-like being refused admittance be-
cause their passports were not recent enough and
of their rush to spend the five Marks (that's about
$1 .50 now, I think) that you are required to spend
while in East Berlin. As I rode on the subway to-
ward the east I wondered what experiences we
would face.

When we reached the station in East Berlin all
was confusion as people hurried in all directions.
We finally found our entrance and joined a line
which seemed to last forever. When my turn came
at the first desk someone indicated that I should
show my passport. The officer behind the desk
read it completely and then glanced at the picture
and stared at me. What fascinated me (and at the
time frightened me) was that he did not seem to
study my face but he stared sternly deep into my
eyes. This one stare and the overall excitement of
being on the other side of the wall greatly influ-
enced my whole impression of East Berlin.

To begin our sightseeing we headed for the
museum to see the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar
Gates of Babylon dating back to the times of
Nebuchadnezzer. As we walked toward the museum
we passed several apartments. I was impressed by
the stillness of this area. It was kind of spooky.
No women were hanging their bed clothes out of
the window. No neighbors were talking and laugh-
ing together as I had grown accustomed to seeing
in other German cities. There were only a few
boys playing ball in a courtyard.

Before I built a wall I 'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.

.... I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again,

'Good fences make good neighbors. '

from Robert Frost
Mending Wall

Perhaps it can all be explained by the fact that it was Sunday
morning and there was a heat wave in Berlin, or perhaps it was just
because I was still uneasy. All of these factors enter into it I'm sure,
but my first impression was an uncomfortable one, when I (sadly)

Jones and Parks Travel in Europe

Faye Parks, who is quite well-
known around the vicinity of
Walters Dormitory, spent a most
delightful six weeks touring Eu-
rope and the Greek Islands.
Some of the countries she toured
during her first three weeks were
England, Holland, Belgium, Aus-
tria, Switzerland, Italy, France
and Yugoslavia. During the lat-
ter part of her tour, Mrs. Parks
traveled through many of the
beautiful isles of Greece.

She encountered a wide varie-
ty of experiences ranging from a
snowstorm in the mountains, to
a heat wave in Paris. To top off
everything, Mrs. Parks found her-
self in the middle of the hotel
strike in Rome! The Hilton ho-
tel was surrounded by soldiers
with machine guns. All of this ad-
ded somewhat of an excited fear
to the atmosphere around the an-
cient city. The Italians seemed
to believe the communists were
behind the strikes taking place.

Yugoslavia was the only Com-
munist country Mrs. Parks visit-
ed. She seemed relieved to leave
after her 3-day visit. She said

by JAN LEE

the people were friendly, yet
they seemed to lack a zest for
living. The storekeepers were
not interested in whether you
bought anything or not. The
people were poor and the at-
mosphere was by no means care-
free and inviting. Mrs. Parks re-
marked, "We are really the weal-
thiest people in the world and
we take so much for granted."

A very unexpected surprise
took place in Madrid where Mrs.
Parks felt someone tap her shoul-
der. Who was it? Dean Roberta
Jones! Dean Jones was on her
way to see a Spanish bullfight
when the two ladies happened to
meet at the same hotel restau-
rant! This was quite a coinci-
dence since Dean Jones and a
friend had struck out on their
own to see Spain and Portugal
and Mrs. Parks was with a plan-
ned tour.

Speaking of the bullfights,
Dean Jones found this Spanish
national pastime quite a specta-
cular occasion. She explained
that there were six bullfights
with three matadors. The oldest

could not find that joy of living so typical of West
Germans.

When we reached the museum I was taken out
of my immediate environment by suddenly finding
myself in the middle of Nebuchadnezzer's city. It
had been reconstructed inside the museum and here
we stood as if transported back in time. We saw
the beautifully decorated city walls of Ishtar and
ironically noted that the wall went around the city
and not through it. After a couple of hours we
left the museum and reentered the real world of
the 20th century.

We headed in the general direction of the Rat-
haus (city hall). As we walked through the city
two things impressed me. These were the scarcity
of cars and the ill-repair of the buildings. Most of
the buildings still showed signs of the heavy damage
during the bombing in WWII. Many things looked
as if the war had been five years ago, not thirty-
five.

As for the scarcity of cars I learned that it is
very difficult for the East Germans to buy them.
They must file an application with the government
for permission to own one and this application can
take as long as four years to go through. Even
when we stood in front of the Rathaus on Unter-
die-Linden Str., six lanes wide, only one car passed
about every minute. This really contributed to
the eerie quietness.

After each spending our five Marks on lunch in
the Rathaus, we decided that we had better start
back to the checkpoint. We had no idea how
long it would take us to get back into West Berlin.

We passed the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and waited long enough to see the changing of the
guard. It was most dramatic and the goosestep
really impressed me with its stern movement and
the slapping sound of the boots hitting the ground.

It took about forty-five minutes of standing in
line and being stared at by government officials
before we were finally on the train to leave the East.
I leaned my head back in the seat as the train
slowly pulled out of the station and was shocked
to notice guards with rifles standing on the beams
of the buildings. I must say that I was glad to.
leave what the West Berliners call the big concen-
tration camp of the East.

always fought the first bull, fol-
lowed by the younger and then
the middle-aged matador would
fight. This order was repeated,
each man fighting twice. She
gained much appreciation of this
distinctive sport by studying be-
forehand about its history.

The experiences Dean Jones
remembers most about her trip
were the relationships and con-
versations she had with people.
Now, who else but one from
Agnes Scott would attempt to
converse with Franco's guards for
three hours, even though they
couldn't speak Spanish? Our
Dean Jones did. She also met a
very interesting Nun, got to
know the tour guides, and visit-
ed many universities on her way.

Dean Jones evidently didn't
hesitate to try out new kinds of
food. She said she even ate
"tripe" (and if you don't know
what that is, please look it up in
"Webster's book"). The thing
Dean Jones and Mrs. Parks both
missed most was refreshing drink-
ing water.

How Freshmen Look at Scott Life

by TANIA GUMUSGERDAN and KAREN HALE

Every Freshman class has the
same fears before going to col-
lege. Most of them are afraid
of the classes, because they know
that they will be quite different
from the ones in high school.
Besides classes there are other
things that bother them. One of
these is the college environment
or its stmosphere. This is be-
cause, as their name suggests,
they are fresh - they must get
used to college life.

Now that classes and tests
have begun many freshmen rea-
lize that college work will be
hard and that they will have to
study a lot. But many freshmen
find, too, that they have difficul-
ty settling down to study, adjust-
ing to the idea of study time.
Most freshmen have free after-
noons and evenings, during which
time is spent in study, but much
of which is not. It is just too
easy to visit your friends' rooms
rahter than open books and read.

On the other hand, most fresh-
men seem happy about the way
their classes are organized, and
like their professors; they enjoy
classes. They find that their
teachers are willing to help them
in every aspect. They find a pro-
fessor will try very hard to help
his students understand a con-
cept, very often meeting with a
student after class.

The one thing that has really
impressed freshmen is the air of
friendliness at Scott. You can
feel it everywhere in the dorms,
in classes, in private conferences
with teachers, and this helps
make freshmen feel at home, and
eases those queasy feelings that
often accompany leaving home
for the first time. Almost none
of the freshmen are homesick
because they know that if they
have any problems upperclass-
men are ready to help them.

There is an air of friendliness
at Scott because it is like a small
world in itself; almost a kind of
Utopia. Each student is focused
upon and given consideration.
One never feels lost in the flood
of students. Besides all the ex-
tra attention that the freshmen
enjoy, the small classes give stu-
dents a great opportunity for
individualized attention.

The fact that Agnes Scott is
a part of an area with many
other colleges and universities
greatly helps Scott students to
get to know others outside the
realm of the campus. The boys
at Tech and Emory seem to en-
joy dating Scott freshmen, and
dates give the new Scotties a
chance to see Atlanta: concerts,
theatres, restaurants, sports, Un-
derground Atlanta, the Regency
Hyatt House or Six Flags Over
Georgia.

Another exciting aspect of the
social life at Agnes Scott are the
many blind dates that freshmen

seem to have, and in spite of the
risks many freshmen seem to en-
joy them. Although some do not
turn out to be good as others,
some turn out to be down-right
rotten.

Most of the freshmen seem to
like the food at Scott; a lot of
students realize that a small
school can prepare food with
greater care than a large one can
(just ask the boys who eat at
Tech!). The freshmen seem to
like best the desserts and ice-

cream, and needless to say, many
girls have probably already gained
weight.

On the whole, most of the
freshmen seem to be very de-
lighted with Scott, its plans,
hopes, principles and aims. Most
everyone seems glad that they
chose Scott over all the other
schools to which they applied,
and the entire freshman class
hopes to grow both in wisdom
and learning during this, their
first year at Agnes Scott College.

Dr. Alston

Marriage Counselor??

An article was noticed in a back
issue of the Profile reminding
students not to miss the final
marriage class meeting which
would be conducted by Dr. Als-
ton himself. Upon further inves-
tigation, it was found that for
15 years a comprehensive course
on marriage was offered here.

Mortar Board sponsored and
planned the classes as an extra-
curricular activity. The course,
designed especially for seniors
and engaged students, accepted
anyone interested. It met weekly
for six to ten weeks during the
winter quarter.

The classescovered such topics
as the problems of courtship,
engagement, and marriage, in-
cluding the ceremony itself, child
care, money management, and
religion in the home. A gyne-
cologist participated by giving
information about the physical

by LINDA HILL

and psychological aspects of mar-
riage. Miss Carrie Scandrett, the
Dean of Students, and Dr. Alston,
President of the college, also led
sessions.

Dr. Alston customarily con-
ducted the final session using the
topic "Making Marriage Perma-
nent." In this class he covered
such subjects as marriage pro-
blems and religion in the home.

The course, however, ended
6 years ago due to a lag in parti-
cipation and interest. Dr. Alston
believes it was a loss and would
like to see other similiar classes
offered now.

In an effort to check student
interest, Dr. Armand Hendee, a
local gynecologist, is giving two
fireside talks for freshmen this
month. If these sessions are suc-
cessful and sufficient interest
shown more will be scheduled
for the future.

Dear Parents,

We're really having a ball! Just to list some of the socials we've
had:

(1) "Pick-Up" dance with Tech

(2) Rush parties!

(3) Blind dates (mostly "bummers")

I finally killed that hungry spider in my mailbox - I gave him one
of those brownies you sent me!

Please write soon! I need some connections .with the outside
world!!!

Scott Impresses
Our New Faculty

by CHRISTINE CLARK

For the 1971-1972 session, ten
faculty members were appointed
at Agnes Scott. Some of these
were chosen to replace faculty
members who are on leave this
year; others are filling new posi-
tions.

Dr. Priscilla S. Boskoff, visit-
ing assistant professor of classical
languages and literatures while
Mrs. Young heads the school's
self study. Dr. Boskoff is "ter-
ribly pleased" here; she thinks
Scott is "marvelous," and feels
that the girls are "darling" and
is quite impressed with the ap-
pearance of the girls.

A new economics and sociol-
ogy professor is Mr. William H.
Weber III. He chose Scott be-
cause he likes "small, church-
affiliated colleges." He especial-
ly likes the area and the "urban
situation." Since Mr. Weber
plans to do research on higher
education for women, he feels
that his position here at Scott
will be beneficial.

Mr. David W. Orr, assistant
professor of political science,
chose Scott because it is a "small
college and has a good reputa-
tion." He feels that the girls are
"friendly" and "congenial."

New assistant professor of
history, Mr. David W. Robson
wanted to teach at a small college
rather than a large one. Accord-
ing to him, large universities tend
to be "diploma mills." Mr. Rob-
son says that he came to Scott
"to perfect my teaching by pro-
ceeding at my own pace."

Dr. Linda B. Cornett, visiting
instructor of philosophy, chose
Scott mainly because she was al-
ready in Atlanta. She is "favor-
ably impressed" with the "intel-
ligence" and the "cooperation
of students."

Also in the philosophy de-
partment, Mr. Richard Wolters
feels that Scott is "exactly what
I wanted." He especially likes
the philosophy program at Scott.
Rather unphilosophically, Mr.
Wolters' first impression of Scott
was of "all the girls out on the
lawn in their bikinis." What
could he expect for a springtime
visit?

Mrs. Marylin B. Pickard, new
physical education instructor,
chose Scott because she wanted
to stay in Georgia and the posi-
tion was open. She feels the
people are "warm," "friendly,"
New assistant professor of
physics and astronomy, Dr.
George H. Folsom III, likes a
small college because "there is
more room for growth and de-
velopment." He likes the "calm
atmosphere" and the "high in-
terest" here.

Dr. Roberta E. Bayles, visiting
associate professor of psychology
was chosen to replace Dr. Copple
while he is on leave. Since she
lives "only a block away" and
heard that Dr. Copple was leav-
ing, she decided to consider
teaching here. She feels that
the interest, the attendance, and
the questions that students ask
are reasons she likes Scott.

"Ecology: Our Road to Survival." Mr. Graham's works include two
books, Since Silent Spring and Disaster by Default.

HENDEE

Dr. Armand Hendee, gynecologist and obstetrician, will be on cam-
pus October 14 and 21 to speak to freshmen from 5:15 - 6:15 in
Walters Recreation Room.

WILLIAMS

On October 18, Dr. Harry Williams from Emory University will speak
informally on drug usage at 8:00 in Rebekah Reception Room. He
conducted an extremely informative lecture on this subject last year
and has been asked back to our campus upon student request.

ROCK CONCERT

Agnes Scott will have a Fall Rock Concert featuring the Mason Prof-
fitt rock group at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, October 23, in the ampithea-
ter as part of Black Cat weekend. Admission will be free, and guests
from Tech and Emory are welcome. In case of rain the concert will
be held in Gaines auditorium.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The Board of Student Activities will begin keeping open office hours
from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m., Monday - Thursday in Rebekah. Any
student who has ideas about a project that she would like to see
sponsored by a campus organization is welcome to bring her ideas to
the Board president, Gigi Wilson, during these hours. The BSA office
is with the other student government offices beside the Rep room,
the last office on the right.

MINISTERS COUNSELING

Beginning on Monday this week a team of ministers has begun to of-
fer on-campus counseling to any student on matters of a religious na-
ture. Such matters would be "related to values important for living
a complete human life."

The counselors are ministers of various denominations, but they
do not purport to deal with dogma or creed of sects. Any counselor
will consult with any student who would like counseling.

Although the ministers will counsel at Scott (in Room 4, Main,
from 3 - 5 Monday through Friday) they will be in no way a part of
the ASC staff. They will not report to the Scott administration and
all counselling sessions will be strictly confidential.

There will be no charge for this service. Students are being asked
to react to this service by writing the Profile (Box 764), by talking
loudly on your hall, or by dropping in on the minister any weekday
between 3 and 5.

TOOT-TOOT !

Train to Atlanta

When was the last time you
rode a train in the United States
or even in the Atlanta area? The
opportunity to do so is just a
few hundred yards away. Every
day at 10:35 a.m., train No. 1
leaves the Decatur train depot
for Atlanta, arriving at 1 1 :00 a.m.
at the capital. Train No. 2
leaves the capital at 4:15 p.m.,
arriving in Decatur at 4:35 p.m.
The train ride costs 26 cents to
Atlanta and 26 cents back to
Decatur, which is almost the
total cost of riding the bus one-
way downtown.

Once at the capital, fantastic
Underground Atlanta is at your
feet. The many unique shops in
Underground are open during
the day for those who want to
buy or who just want to browse.

The train ride takes twenty

minutes, riding in an up-to-date,
air-conditioned, passenger car.
Only one passenger car is found
in this train, as the rest are
freight cars (10 to 50 of them).
Up until two years ago, four
trains had passenger service be-
tween Atlanta and Decatur. But
because of modern roads, the
number of passengers dropped,
causing problems for the rail-
roads.

Passenger service began over a
hundred years ago and now has
dwindled to almost nothing.
Again, when was the last time
you rode a train? Those from
Scott who have journeyed down
these tracks into Atlanta had a
great deal of fun. So if you are
looking for something to do one
Saturday, or anyday, catch No. 1
at 10:35 across from P by C.

In a time when society struggles to achieve peace and unity, the High
presents a movie about a woman who beheads her brother, stabs her
children and sends her husband's lover up in flames.

ber 15 - 17. Show times are - Friday, October 15 at 7 and 9:30;
Saturday, the 16th at 3, 7, and 9:30, and Sunday, October 17 at 3

PROFILE / October 13, 1971

If you've wondered what hap-
pened to that brown and black,
short-legged, floppy-eared little
dog that had been hanging around
campus since Retreat, worry no
more.

Becky and Mary Jane King
noted the dog's tag number and
found her owners through the
Fulton County health authorities.

"Dollie," who had been a
.family pet for years, had been
lost in Decatur while the family
was visiting friends. In gratitude
to "all the girls who helped to
find our Dollie," the family has
contributed $20 to the Agnes
Scott Spirit Committee for its
work in our college community.

Overheard

A senior, on discovering her in-
dependent topic: "Oh, I'm so
excited! I've got to go and read
some journals!" Exit into libe.

Senior forgot to proofread.
Sophomore asks, "What is un-
lacylike behavior?"

A freshman: I'd appreciate
those English assignments more
if they came in my mailbox.

Atlanta youngster spies Presi-
dent of the ASC Athletic Asso-
ciation posing for her Senior
Picture. He exclaims, "Mommy,
look at the Fairy Princess!"

Shaw's Exuberance Fills Music

A tousled, drained figure steps
down from the podium. The
blue work shirt clings limply to
the large form descending the
steps. Silhouetted by the bril-
liant lights, the hand which mo-
ments earlier so delicately held
the baton, reaches up to smooth
the ruffled hair.

The figure stands before us
now, his ruddy face once again
framed by the unruly mass of
reddish hair. Already clutching
a towel around the neck, he
reaches nervously for a blanket
to drape around the perspiring,
heavy-set shoulders.

Words of Insight

Robert Shaw, conductor of
the Atlanta Symphony Orches-
tra, began to tell us of the re-
hearsal we had just witnessed.
Every word Was an insight, not
only into meaning of works by
Charles Ives, Brahms and Handel,
but an insight into the meaning
and purpose of their and our
twentieth century interpreter,
Robert Shaw.

Here in Atlanta, we have a
man or rather a genius who des-
perately wants the people, all the
people, to understand that music
is alive and speaks all languages,
to all people in all walks of life.
Mr. Shaw is so intent on explain-
ing the music of the old as well
as the new masters that he even
speaks at the Symphony concerts
and holds student conferences;
all we have to do is attend and
listen.

Mr. Shaw informed his youth-
ful audience at this conference
that his decisions as to what the
Atlanta Symphony will perform
during a given season are made
"with much fear and trembling."
Live Music Different
"You see," he explained, "the
Symphony Orchestra is about
one third museum and should
maintain the really great works
of art. This is done because we
believe that live music is just a
little bit different from listening
to it in your own bedroom. We
have to play the things that have
made sense in our time. Here we
hear the greatest music of past
generations and also what has to
be the greatest music of our own
times.

"The fact that you can't ex-
plain music doesn't mean it
doesn't have meaning; it just
means that words won't explain
it." Literally brimming with ex-
citement, Robert Shaw exclaim-
ed, "This is incredible! The same
note that a composer wrote is
the note that you hear today.
Anybody who comes here to the
Symphony has a chance to hear
Bach or Beethoven write his
notes!"

Take for instance the con-
cert presented by the Atlanta
Symphony in the Memorial Arts
Center this past weekend. With-
out Mr. Shaw's explanation, what
the composer Charles Ives was
trying to say would have glided
past most untrained ears quite

unheeded.

Yes, the music in places did
sound funny; it was supposed to
be funny and to be laughed at
aloud if one felt that inclination.
As Shaw explained it, "Charles
Ives possessed a cynical, satirical
sense of humor; often his music
is like a Bill Mauldin cartoon."

Perhaps the most rewarding
feature of hearing Robert Shaw
explain the music he knows and
lives, is to note the enthusiasm
with which he approaches his
field. Be it conducting the or-
chestra or simply telling an amus-
ing story of how "the damn fire-
works blew up the whole works"
when Handel first presented his
"Royal Fireworks" music, the
spirit Shaw so miraculously con-
veys is interest.

Here in Atlanta, we are for-
tunate enough to have a man
with insight. We have a group
such as the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra that is able to perform
a Mozart symphony as well as
interpret an experimental work
by a contemporary artist.

In closing it is important to
note that the stigma of stuffiness
need no longer be attached to
Symphony Hall. Shaw himself
would like to "have more con-
certs in jump up and down sort
of places." While dress may
still be important to some, music
and what it has to say must be
realized as not only the real im-
portance but the purpose of
every concert.

; QUESTION OF PARIETAI S

Door Slams Shut

The question of parietals in the
dorms is again being raised on the
Agnes Scott campus. However,
no official legislation concerning
the issue has been proposed.

At Student Government Re-
treat on September 15, 1971,
students discussed the possibility
of introducing an RC that pro-
vided open dorms on special oc-
casions, such as Black Cat.

For such an RC to be ratified,
it must first be approved by Rep
Council, the Administrative Com-
mittee (which consists of four
administrators, four faculty mem-
bers and two students), and final-
ly by the student body. It
would be futile for Rep Council
to formulate an RC which the
Administrative Comm ittee wou Id
absolutely oppose.

Highway 155 Where Are You?

on the basis of the problems her
colleagues have encountered with
it. When parietals are given for
special occasions, the thrust for
twenty-four hour visitation in-
evitably results. And she strongly
objects to this.

A study of parietals at wom-
en's colleges summarized in the
May 18, 1971 issue of The Pro-
file, however, shows them to be
operating "with fairly successful
results.''

Whether or not problems
could be overcome at Agnes
Scott and a successful plan for
parietals enacted remains to be
seen. As it stands now, however,
we won't find out any time with-
in the foreseeable future.

Leaving school last spring, many
of us felt secure in the thought
that sleepy old Decatur would
slumber through this summer as
she has through all the others.
Imagine our consternation on re-
turning to discover that Scott
had been the object of much fer-
vor throughout the summer.

The fervor began last July
when the DeKalb Board of Com-
missioners considered widening
parts of Candler Road in DeKalb
and Atlanta, thereby rerouting
highway 1 55 which is now Cand-
ler. At this juncture, offended
citizens of Decatur formed the
Decatur Civic Association

The new highway would have
extended from 2-lane S. Candler
at Kirk Road, northwest as a
six-lane facility to either S. Mc-

By TERRY HEARN

Donough or Adams St., and then
across the Georgia Railroad to
connect with four-lane Oliver St.

The Decatur City Commission
and the Georgia Highway Depart-
ment preferred the Adams St.
connector.

In early July, the D. C. A.
issued a petition against the re-
routing which stated that the
"present system is adequate for
the needs of its citizens and
others who wish to drive to the
city."

The petition, signed by 1981
citizens, made three general
points:

A) "We object generally to any
change in this City's system of
streets which would encourage
traffic going through Decatur."

B) "We object generally to any
alteration in this City's system of
streets for the purpose of accom-
odating additional traffic."

C) "We object specifically to
any alternation of the present
status of State Highway 1 55 as it
cuts through our city."

Essentially the entire dispute
centers on the question of what
is Decatur's present responsibility
to the future needs of the city,
and of her responsibility to Agnes
Scott.

What does the community
owe to the future traffic pro-
blems resulting from increased
congestion of Candler and what
does she owe Agnes Scott who is
a non-taxpaying but vital com-
ponent of her world?

Economically, easier accessibi-
lity to offices (afforded by the
proposed route) would attract
more business to the area, there-
by increasing tax revenues.

As County Commission Chair-
man Clark Harrison warned, if
Decatur refuses to change, there
is a greater danger of resegrega-
tion - the integrated community
becoming predominantly black
'because of a white exodus. Only
free circulation into and out of
the area will keep it from be-
coming a dead town.

Harris pointed out to Decatur-
ites at a September meeting -
"If we allow Agnes Scott to ex-
pand and close off Candler Road
through its campus, we will in-
spire new life into that institu-
tion for many years to come."

And yet, D.C.A. remains to-
tally opposed to any rerouting.
Not because of costs, for half the
funds for the new road were to
be allocated by federal funds.

What would prompt such a
vehement rejection by the citi-
zens? The D.C.A. gave four
major reasons:

1. Rerouting will divide De-
catur permanently and lead to
eventual deterioration of other
residential areas.

2. They have a "moral obli-
gation" not to raise the noise
level around the public housing
on Oliver Street.

3. Greater traffic would in-
crease levels of noise and air pol-
lution.

4. Building a new road would
necessitate the destruction of
hundreds of hardwood trees and
fine older homes.

Because of these four reasons,
the far-sighted citizensof Decatur
unconditionally rejected all four
of the rerouting plans proposed
by Agnes Scott and the County
Commission.

Dr. Alston and Dean Jones,
both members of Administrative
Committee, object strongly to
men visitors in dorms at any
time.

Dr. Alston bases his disap-
proval on the problems of securi-
ty and privacy that would arise.
The area surrounding the school
is presently in the state of flux
and causing security problems.

Approximately every ten days
someone is picked up on the Ag-
nes Scott campus for being a
"Peeping Tom" or some other
type of general nuisance. If our
doors were opened to anyone,
this problem might become more
severe.

The problems of privacy and
'permanent guest' would also
surely arise. Dr. Alston has said
that he would not want to be
responsible in such a situation.

Dean Jones opposes the issue

English Department Conducts Job Seminar

Although they freed Woman
from the 24-hour demands of
maintaining a home, Women's
Lib and electricity have flung her
another graver responsibility -
she must now develop her own
potential.

Education has widened the
focus of women's lives. Where
once her only concern was the
family, her newly-acquired sense
of self demands that she concen-
trate on her spiritual needs and
role in the community as well as
on the quality of the breakfast
porridge.

The New Woman

Mrs. Margaret W. Pepperdene,
chairman of the English depart-
ment at Agnes Scott feels there
is something negligent in the
college process which takes fresh-

By TERRY

men, "wakes them up, and then
four years later dumps them at
the local Big Apple." She con-
tinued, "Somebody has got to
start saying that that study which
means so much to them for four
years is worth something."

Noticing the emergence of this
new woman at Scott, the English
department has recognized the
college's responsibility to help
her realize her potential outside
these walls.

English majors graduating
from Scott do have skills which
would make them valuable on
the job market: they are poised,
self-assured, possess a certain
understanding of human nature,
and a sensitive perception of
others. They just need to know
how to use this inner growth

HEARN

they have gained from literature.
Seminars

Three speakers are coming
each quarter this year to lead
seminars on job opportunities for
English majors.

The three speakers this quart-
er are John Pinka, Consultant for
State of Georgia Social Work,
who came October 25; Mrs. Betty
L. Merritt, Executive Secretary
Health Careers Council of Geor-
gia, Inc., who will come in early
November, and later a Scott
graduate who is now a lawyer.

Mr. Pinka spoke on the possi-
bility of careers in social work
for those majoring in English;
advanced work is not necessary
but those wishing to make social
work a career may get advanced
training after two or three years

of practice.

As Mrs. Pepperdene says, "The
English major has a valuable
fund of experience from reading
and a special kind of awareness
which is of special value when
dealing with other people's pro-
blems, as in social work or health
services."

Mrs. Merritt will consider dif-
ferent jobs in health services and
other related areas where an Eng-
lish major would need no further
training.

So this series of seminars,
three per quarter, will give seniors
ideas of what they might try.
These meetings should solace
those seniors who do not want to
teach and who recognize that for
them graduate school would be
the Great Cop-Out.

The 'Peace Award' from the
East German totalitarian regime
is a particularly ironic travesty.
By building a wall of barbed wire
patrolled by guards wearing ma-
chine guns, the East German re-
gime brought peace of a sort-
enforced stagnation to many
of the German people.

Being of such a mentality,
the East German government
would not conceivably reward
the Rev. Abernathy for contrib-
uting to genuine peace; the gov-
ernment would hail him only if
it thought he contributed to
peace, East-German style.

That so many other Com-

YouVe Come a Long Way, Baby

Today 's text can be found in the November issue of
Seventeen magazine. The passage is entitled, "Beat-
ing the Cigarette Habit. " Given these facts, which
of us could not deliver the sermon in our sleep?

"... Fully a third of the women of childbearing
age (from 14-50) are smokers. "

". . . the number of girl smokers, aged 12 to 18,
has jumped from 8 to 12 percent (in the past 2
years. "

". . . While some 25% of male smokers have
stopped in recent years, only 15% of female
smokers have given up the habit. "

This article, like so many others, attempts to
shock and frighten smokers from their practice.
Yet the statistics quoted are appalling for a com-
pletely different reason.

It is only in this past century that women have
felt free to smoke. Still, smoking is a trivial exam-
ple of the things now opening to women. Women
are entering politics, courtrooms, business, college
administrations and pulpits.

This is not merely a change In woman 's social
role. The tendency is now to regard womanhood
as a unique mode of life not as a perverted adap-
tation of manhood.

After all, women are a more creative, more
concerned sex - one less conditioned by drives for
power, one freer to act solely on the basis of
emotion.

These traits can lead to a valuable and unique
view of life. Western society is beginning to rea-
lize that it needs woman to preserve her unique-
ness by resisting the temptation to imitate men.

At the same time women are smoking more.
This strikes me as peculiar simply because it hap-

pens in a context of social concern for personal
and environmental health.

In this context, hazards to health are celebrated
topics of discussion. The fact that smoking has an
"adverse impact on unborn children, " that smok-
ing mothers have a "greater than proportionate
share of spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, or neo-
natal deaths, " is an often-used argument against
smoking.

Since one of the peculiarities about women is
that their reaction to handicaps is predominantly:
"What if my child were born like that?" I do not
think the unborn child argument would leave wo-
men unmoved.

Why then do not women 's smoking habits, like
men's decline? Social factors influencing the deci-
sion are the same for them both. Both fear for
health and that of their children. Both pay rising
taxes for the products they use. It seems that if
women are free of sexual stigma, they would react
to contemporary trends in the same proportions
as men.

I am afraid that women 's increase of smoking
signals, instead, a basic insecurity and effort to
equal men, and even beat him at his own game.
Smoking was long an activity restricted to men's
use. Many women viewed smoking as their symbol
of equality and rebel I ion.

But now that society is giving women that half-
chance to fill a "womanly" role, are they still try-
ing to make it on the man 's level? It seems that
they are, though unconsciously, and that's a troub-
ling realization.

Self-Study Revisited

The Agnes Scott Self-Study
Committee is getting into full
swing. On Tuesday, October
19, the Steering Committee met
with Dr. Gordon Sweet, Exec-
utive Secretary of the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools. This committee is com-
posed of the chairman of each of
the major committees (see be-
low). In addition two student
appointments were made by Pres-
ident Alston; they are Melissa
Holt, President of the junior
Class, and Gigi Wilson, President

'shows that his activities in the
United States have the enthus-
iastic and official backing of
these Communist nations.
Religious Freedom?

Another aspect of Aberna-
thy's tour needs to be consid-
ered. After having visited Rus-
sian churches, Abernathy claim-
ed, according to The Journal,
that the Russian people have
complete religious freedom.

An Associated Press report
from Moscow, in Aug. of 1966,.
is sufficient to debunk this con-
cept.

According to the report: "Six
men did not fit into the rosy
picture of religious freedom
painted by Abernathy.

Pursuing this historical illus-
tration further, we see that Rus-
sian chruches like the ones Aber-
nathy visited are actually wards
of the state. According to The
Saint Louis Post Dispatch of Aug.
24, 1966, the imprisonment of
the six Christians was approved
by the government sanctioned
Baptist Union of the USSR.
The general secretary of the
Baptist Union described the pris-
oners as belonging to 'small and
fanatical sects, which did not
represent the rest of the church.

This clergyman's statement
accepting religious persecution
reveals that established Russian
churches have been converted
into mere official mouthpeices
of the state. They are main-
tained as show pieces to give an
appearance of religious freedom.

It was these show pieces, with
their 'capacity crowds' of which
Abernathy is so out-spokenly
fond that Abernathy was per-
mitted to visit. But he would
not have been able to visit any
'small and fanatical sects' even
if he had wanted to.

Anyone who retains the idea
that people in Communist coun-
tries have the religious freedom
which Abernathy claims should
ponder why various denomina-
tions do not have foreigh mis-
sions there.

It is evident from Aberna-
thy's inaccurate remarks about
religious freedom in Russia that
he has an especially rosy view
of the Soviet Union. From his
reception of numerous political
awards from Communist coun-
tries, it is equally evident that
the Soviet Union has an espec-
ially rosy view of him. The ques-
tion of whether these develop-
ments arise from good or bad
intentions is left in the province
of the reader.

"Hub

itosis?"

A few disgruntled students want to liven up the Hub and suggestions
are being taken. For example:

1 . Install a pay phone

2. Repair the television

3. Keep ping-pong balls handy

4. Supply magazines and/or newspapers

5. Keep the clock set

6. Have parties

7. Build a fire in the fireplace once every week

8. Produce rolls for the Player Piano

9. Get a machine with coffee, hot chocolate, ice cream, etc.

10. Put pool table in working order

A million more suggestions could come. If you have some, send
them to Mary Jane King, Spirit Committee, Box 725, and we will see
what we can do.

PROFILE is the Agnes Scott College campus newspaper. There is a
regular staff for organizing, reporting, writing, taking pictures, and
distributing. Meetings, held every Monday night at 6:30 in the Pub,
are open meetings; new staff and observers are always welcome.

Students and faculty unable to join Profile staff at Monday meet-
ings still have a variety of ways in which they can make Profile theirs.

For example, new article ideas add sparkle to the content of the
newspaper. Letters exploring political subjects or responding to our
letters, editorials, and articles can enrich reading for other students
and can make the paper come alive for us as staff.

In addition, any student can sound off in the Student Opinion
column. These should be on a timely issue, supported by facts and

On the Light Side

I had a rubber ducky

Who swam around my tub.

He quacked and made a funny face

When he saw my body come.

He swam speedily to say the least
If ever I dropped my soap.
And when he'd bring it back to me
He always bit my toe.

He went dashing through the water
Popping all my bubbles.
He thought it such great fun
To cause me tons of trouble.

He learned to pull the plug.
This time it was not in vain.
For as the water all ran out,
I let him go down the drain.

Bartering of Course

TO THE EDITOR:
Like many other colleges Agnes
Scott is experiencing tight fi-
nances, declining enrollments,
and pressures to make changes
and innovations. Fortunately,
Agnes Scott has many loyal
friends among its students, fac-
ulty, administration, trustees,
and alumnae who are concerned
about and care deeply about the
well being and successful fu-
ture of the college. These people
are not only interested in keep-
ing Agnes Scott a viable insti-
tution, but also in increasing the
college's effectiveness in carry-
ing out its traditional and respec-
ted purposes. Below are listed
two questions that in this period
of self-study we might each ask
ourselves with the hope that the
resulting answers may be bene-
ficial to ASC;

1. What changes and innovations
should be made in order to attract
and keep more students at ASC?
A survey has shown that the de-
sire to be in the Atlanta area is
one reason students now come to
Agnes Scott. Even more sig-
nificant would be to learn specif-
ically why students choose ASC
over neighboring institutions of
higher learning. From answers
to this question could come infor-
mation helpful in the develop-
ment of more effective recruit-
ment policies and in the design
of new educational programs.

2. What can be done to enable
ASC students to more easily
avail themselves of the many re-
sources in the Atlanta area?

One resource we should try to

PAGE 3

make more use of is the Univer-
sity Center. The advantages in
attending a small, private, all wo-
men's, Christian college are in
my opinion greatly enhanced if
opportunities exist for students
to experience taking courses at
nearby universities. Presently,
this option is disconraged be-
cause of high cost and in some
cases difficulty in obtaining trans-
portation. Wouldn't ASC be
stronger if students could more
easily avail themselves of the di-
versity of courses offered by
Emory or elsewhere? If faculty
members having small one, two,
and three-student courses en-
couraged those students to take
courses at Emory, couldn't the
released faculty time be used ef-
fectively and profitably to devel-
op, strengthen, and guide Agnes
Scott's various new, innovative,
or individually tailored programs
such as study abroad, inter-
departmental courses, or inde-
pendent study? Undoubtedly
our pitch to Emory regarding in-
creased cooperation should be
based on the concepts of sharing
our resources and on enlightened
self-interest. Indeed, we have or
could develop resources (like the
Observatory) which would be of
interest to Emory students. But
Emory isn't the only institution
with which we could seek clos-
er ties. For example, students
might also be interested in Black
Studies courses at the Atlanta
University complex.

Philip B. Reinhart

Have you ever considered that
BCWCB might stand for 'Boy
called, won't call back' rather
than 'Boy called, will call back?'
Or that BCNM might not stand
for 'Boy called, no message' but
instead for 'Boy called, never
mind?'

Do you stop to consider that
"boy" might be your uncle who
lives in Doraville? No. The usual
procedure is spend hours, days,
and weeks, tabulating all the
boys it could possibly have been,
excluding only your uncle and
the man at the dry cleaners.

But we all know it's simply
not worth getting so clutched
or excited that you can't think
of anything else. There may be a
few things more pressing at the
moment, one of which is your
English paper or tomorrow's
biology test.

There is a chronic syndrome
called "overworked." You have
four tests and three papers this
week? Does it help you any to

by NANCY JONES

know that there are hundreds of
people in the same rowboat get-
ting nowhere fast?

It doesn't, huh?

Try relaxing for a few min-
utes. Do your exercises or shine
your shoes. At least let your
weary brain rest for a little while
between subjects or history chap-
ters.

Take twenty minutes to run
down to the LDH for an egg sal-
ad sandwich. Or sometimes it
helps to get off campus for a lit-
tle while. You don't have to go
clear to Charleston - just far
enough away to avoid "Stack
Fever" and the air of intensive
study and/or panic.

The Dairy Queen is a great
place to get a banana milkshake.
If you're not in the mood for
food, try a bicycle ride or a
walk with a fellow sufferer.

If you're in the library and
simply DO NOT have time for
such luxuries, take a study break
to read the paper and catch up

on the news, Dear Abby, and
Mary Worth.

Current magazines are also a
great source of study break ma-
terial, while magazines from the
early 1900's (among the bound
periodicals on the first floor
stacks) can provide entertain-
ment for any number of breaks.

Hub parties and dorm parties
are also sources for strength and
inspiration. (Ever seen a Scottie
who wasn't hungry around 10
P.M.? Why not try a Granny
party? Or a Canadian Thanks-
giving? These innovations on
third Walters have proved both
enjoyable and enlightening.

There is much to be said for
the creative mind. In the event
that you can't claim one, look
around. Surely someone can sug-
gest a suitable activity for reliev-
ing the monotony.

Don't look TOO far, though.
When you trade in your slide rule
for a second-hand copy of Goren
on Bridge you've gone too far!

TO THE EDITOR:

The Republican Party of Georgia has grown in-
creasingly attentive to the growing organization
known as The Georgia Federation of Young Rep-
ublicans. The latter has recently been attracting
many young people who are interested in people
and politics.

Until recently, interest in politics has been regard-
ed as a sport for social and economic elites and op-
portunists. The constitutional amendment giving
voting rights to 18-year-olds, however, replaces this
old stigma with new and broad dimensions.

As a result of this amendment there will be 14
million new 18 to 21 -year-old voters in 1972.
Since seventy-six percent of these voters say they
are either "absolutely certain" or "fairly certain"
to cast ballots in the next Presidential* elections,
the influence of youth on the national scene can-
not be ignored.

According to research done by a Gallup Poll
this year, most young people are basically naive
about the position and influence of political parties
in national and international policies. The follow-
statistics are based on interviews, for example,
when young voters were asked what they associate
with the term "Republ ican Party;" they gave such
answers as:

1.

Conservative

13%

2.

Richard Nixon

11%

3.

The growing trend is to vote for the man and to
de-emphasize his party affiliations. This may be
because many young people seem interested in
politics but have little practical knowledge of the
structure and function of a political party system.

Fortunately college clubs exist to deal with this
problem. The strength and purpose of party clubs
is increasingly necessary with the influx of 18 to
20-year-old voters.

Here at Agnes Scott there is a Young Repub-
lican Club established to give voters a partial and
practical taste of politics. In return we hope you
will give your support and time to our local club.
Our three basic aims of the club are:

1. To get un-interested people, age eighteen to
forty, semi-interested and aware of political affairs
and to get semi-interested people super-interested
and involved in political matters.

2. To raise the flag of the Republican Party
between elections by taking stands on local and
national issues and to let local people know that
the GOP really is interested in them;

3. To recruit and train a core of people who
know the issues and techniques of politics and who,
when election time comes, will be workers, cam-
paign managers and candidates.

CARM1NA BURANA

PROFILE /October 27,1971

Alliance of the Arts

This past weekend the Memor-
ial Arts Center presented a beau-
tiful contemporary work by the
German born composer Carl Orff.
Carmina Burana is the first, and
most successful, of a trilogy of
scenic cantatas entitled Triumphs.
In 1935 Orff rejected every-
thing he had previously composed
and now devoted himself to writ-
ing solely for the stage the only
medium he feels is appropriate
to true self expression. Although
a musical-theatrical piece, Car-
mina Burana is not opera or ora-
torio. Rather it is an artful
combination of the arts-theatre,
design, orchestra, chorus, and
dance.

The text, based on 13th cen-
tury Bavarian poems, is in Latin
and medieval German. No real
plot exists. The verses describe
the activities of wandering stu-
dents who sing the praises of na-
ture, love, the tavern and the free
life.

The staging of the piece is
left to the producer. Here Carl
Ratcliff deserves kudos. This
staging and choreography are
sensational. Although the danc-
ing, at times, lacks technical pre
cision, it is nonetheless free, exu-
berant and thrilling. The Georgia
State Choir, under the excellent
direction of Donald Neuen, is
ever present. Clothed in some-
what monkish robes atop cylin-
ders on the stage, they lend an
austere and mysterious aura to
the production. Through the
austerity the Atlanta Ballet Com-
pany flashes with color and
light, vibrant and pulsating with
life.

by ELLEN FLYNN

Of particular note was the se-
quence depicting Adam, Eve and
the Serpent in the Garden-at
once the sensuous and beauti-
ful; erotic and classic. One vig-
nette brought whirling gypsies
blazing with fire and wild rage.
Another presented a whimsical
fantastic balloon dance. Final-
ly the exquisite pathos of a swan
pursued, captured and roasted
did not fail to move everyone
in the audience.

In 1959 the New York Times
critic called the piece, "one of

the most fascinating and delight-
ful choral works that this coun-
try has produced on either side
of the water." N onetheless, by
itself the music tends to be re-
petitive and a bit overpowering.
Its effectiveness depends entirely
on staging and execution. Carl
Ratcliff s production, with splen-
did assistance from the Symphony,
the Georgia State Choir and solo-
ists, and the Atlanta Ballet Com-
pany succeeds. It is that all too
rare phenomenon-a true alliance
of the arts. Magnificent!

THE STUDENT PROFILE

Celia and Lucia Reiley Call Brazil Their Home

Celia and Lucia Reiley are two
sophomores at Scott this year.
This in itself is not unsisual, ex-
cept that their parents were
missionaries who met and mar-
ried in Brazil. Their father went
to Brazil in 1 948, their mother in
1950. They were married in
1952, and Celia and Lucia were
born in a small town called Sao
Jose Do Treto in the state of
Sao Paulo.

With their parents being mis-
sionaries, they moved around
a lot within Brazil, for a time
living on the border between Bra-
zil and Paraguay during a rather
unsettled period. Celia says that
they were only 3 and do not re-
member, but they have been told
that there were actual gun bat-
tles in the streets! After this
they lived in Sao Paulo for a
year, and when they were 5

Get Involved

by CATHY PIDGEON

The Committee on Community
Affairs is a committee of stu-
dents which serves as the liaison
between the Agnes Scott commu-
nity and the Atlanta and Deca-
tur areas. CCA was organized in
the Spring of the 1969-1970
session by Carolyn Cox, who was
the newly elected president of
the Student Government Associa-
tion. She felt the need of a com-
mittee that could both educate
the student body about city,
state, and national issues and
provide opportunities for active
participation in them. Beatie Di-
vine, Betty Wilkinson, and Juliana
Winters serve as co-chairmen.
CCA is composed of three sub-
committees: (1) On-Campus;

(2) Service Off-Campus, and

(3) Inter-Collegiate.
On-Campus committee, head-
ed by Brooke Wilding, aims to
keep the students and faculty
aware of campus affairs. On-
Campus provides speakers, sym-
posiums, and discussions at Agnes
Scott on issues pertaining to the
college students.

Service Off-Campus, headed
by Debbi Long, is the central
contact for all Agnes Scott ser-
vice projects and helps students
to become aware of the events in
the surrounding community. In

the past, this sub-committee had
a part in the Rubella Vaccina-
tion Drive and the Walk for Man-
kind.

Service Off-Campus is going
to sponsor a Voter Registration
Drive to publicize the fact that
eighteen year olds need to be
registered to vote. This should
be taken care of during the.
Thanksgiving holidays. It has
also been asked to work with
MARTA to help get out the
vote by calling people. Plans
are now being made for partici-
pation in the Decatur Art Fes-
tival, Community Theatre, and
the Decatur Civic Association,
which is against the construction
of the highway through the Ag-
nes Scott Campus.

Susie Freeman heads the
Inter-Collegiate sub-committee
through which Agnes Scott gains
access to events on other cam-
puses in Decatur and Atlanta.
This committee works in con-
junction with the Atlanta Inter-
Collegiate Program Council, to
which Agnes Scott is a member.
Membership in the Committee on
Community Affairs can be at-
tained simply by contacting
either Beatie Divine (Box 145),
Betty Wilkinson (Box 640), or
Juliana Winters (Box 655).

they came to the States for a
while. At the age of six, they
moved back to Brazil, and spent
5 years in a Brazilian elemen-
tary school, 1 year in a British
school, 1 year in an American
school. At this time they came
back to the United States, and
spent two years here. They then
returned to Brazil, and spent
their last two years of school
there, skipping the first year of
Brazilian high school.

When asked about Brazilian
schools, Celia said, "I preferred
them to the American school be-
cause the American schools were
too isolated from the Brazilian
community, where we had many
friends." Celia also enjoyed re-
flecting on her last year in high
school, there in Brazil. "There
were only 9 kids in the class,
and we had a ball because none
of the teachers really made us
work." She said the reason for
this was that the Brazilian schools
offered no college preparatory
course: if you planned to go to
the university, you took "Cursin-
ho," a course outside of school

to prepare you for the very stiff
and exceptionally competitive
exams.

Moving around

I asked Celia how she felt
about having moved around so
much. She said that it really was
great. She had realized a lot of
different things about herself,
and she had changed alot, too.
"Old friends often don't accept
change, and when you move,
you meet new friends who accept
you without knowing what you
were like before. It's also easier
on your wardrobe."

Lucia told me quite a bit
about the social life of young
people in Brazil. She said that
they rarely single date, but often
have a large group of good friends
that do things together, like
serenading people on their birth-
days. Dating there is on much
more of a friendship basis, rather
than a social one as it is here.

Celia told me a cute story that
also tells something about Bra-
zilian customs. She, Lucia and
about ten other 16-year-olds
attended a birthday party for

the daughter of the owner of a
large plantation. There was to
be a big "baile" or dance there.
It started out with all the girls
on one side of the room, and
all the boys on the other. When
the music began, all the girls who
did not have boyfriends started
to dance together as a way of
letting the fellows on the other
side of the room know that they
were "free."

Another thing Celia and Lucia
talked about were the Brazilian
festivals. June is the biggest
month for festivals, as there are
many Saint's days then. But
the biggest of all the festival
celebrations is "Carnival" in Feb-
ruary which celebrates the begin-
ning of Lent as does the French
Mardi Gras. At Carnival time
everyone dresses in special cos-
tumes and joins the huge cele-
bration in the streets by dancing
and singing.

Being brought up in two dif-
ferent cultures can and does have
a profound effect. Celia and
Lucia have been greatly influen-
ced by both environments, and
Lucia was able to tell me how she
was Brazilian in some aspects,
and Brazilian in others. She said
that her parents provided her
greatest American impact on her
and the Brazilian culture created
another influence. She feels that
she holds a lot of American prin-
ciples, she feels that her educa-
tion was mostly American in
content. However, she feels
more Brazilian in that she is
more open, feels more friendly
and is not as inhibited as most
Americans are.

What about the future? Their
family will return to Brazil in
February after their father has
received his doctorate from Em-
ory, and both Lucia and Celia
are certain that they will return
after they have finished college.
They (like most college students)
don't know exactly what they
will do after graduation, al-
though Lucia has expressed a de-
sire to work with children in art
and Celia is fascinated with cul-
tural anthropology. But what-
ever they do, and wherever they
go, they will be remembered very
fondly by everyone at Scott
who knew them.

MONASTARY AT CONYERS

PAGE 5

Enjoy the Quietness

Taking the first Conyers exit
off of I-20, and following the
stark black and white "Monas-
tery" signs leads one to a world
far removed from the bustling
demands of Atlanta. For nes-
tled securely behind a row of
bay trees lies the Monastery of
the Holy Ghost.

The unimposing simplicity of
the structures here reflects the
humility of the monks who built
them and yet the various facil-
ities open to the public indicate
the monks' concern for the world
outside their cloistered halls. Vis-
itors are welcome to explore the
grounds, enjoy the quietness,
celebrate life, or simply find res-
pite fr jm the problems and pres-
sures of the world. The monas-
tery is always open, offering each
visitor the peace and freedom to
be himself.

The Chapel

The chapel was made and de-
signed by the monks. The au-
sterity and simplicity of the mo-
dern Gothic style contrasts sharp-
ly with the jewel-like quality of
the stained glass windows. The
blue and red patterns created by
these windows play on the hand-
made pews and altar. One of the

PERSPECTIVE

Governor's
Panel

By KAY PINCKNEY

Four of the five progressive
Southern governors, John West
of South Carolina, Linwood Hol-
ton of Virginia, Robert Scott of
North Carolina, and Reubin Askew
of Florida, who all, incidentally,
are Presbyterians, were the pan-
elists in a discussion moderated
by Dean Rusk at the Presbyter-
ian Convention in Atlanta on
October 15. The topic? "The
relation between moral and reli-
gious ideas and the political and
social issues of the world about
us."

Gov. West led off by saying
that "religion and politics do
mix " and that any progressiveness
in government needs religious
faith to support it. Holton ex-
pressed both his political and re-
ligious philosophy in one state-
ment: "Love thy neighbor as
thyself." Scott feels that "any
decision-making is moral in na-
ture, because it affects people."
He also thinks that "the church
is bound up in society." Askew,
the most sincere and impressive
of the four, stated that people
must be willing to seek answers
to problems. He rightly receiv-
ed applause by saying, "Too of-
ten the Church has sacrificed
truth for harmony and ceased to
be what Christ meant it to be in
the first place."

All the governors said that
the Christian faith is a vital part
of their lives. Perhaps this is
one of the principal reasons for
their individual progressive ad-
ministrations. May the South
produce more leaders like them.

brothers even sculpted the mar-
bled bust in the anteroom.

Since the monastery is self
supporting, the monks must care
for the crops and tend the cattle.
They produce their own food
and milk in the fields surround-
ing the cloisters. Breaking their
vows of silence only for prayer,
they lead a very disciplined life -
beginning each day around 4:00
a.m. Visitors may observe the
services in the chapel from the
balcony.

At the Buildings

Although the monks have
taken a vow of silence, each may
speak to visitors when it is his
turn to be guide and run the
shops. In the gift shop they sell
bread and stained glass which
they have made themselves, as
well as cheese, jellies, honey,
stationery, crucifixes, and jew-
elery made by other monasteries
or religious organizations.

The green house abounds with
various and sundry cacti, Bonsi
plants, and other potted plants
and fruit trees. They also sell ex-
tra fresh vegetables or fruits from
cheir gardens and concrete blocks
which they design themselves.
On the Grounds

Visitors are encouraged to ex-
plore and enjoy the grounds, to
gaze at the peacock family in its
pen, to watch fish swim in an un-
polluted lake, and to admire the
beautiful swans as they float
around this lake. In the spring
the monks erect a sign warning
visitors to be careful when feed-
ing the swans "for they are mat-
ing, and are currently belliger-
ent."

On the top of the hill over-

looking the wheat fields is a stone
bench which allows the weary
wandered a chance to relax and
enjoy the view while filling his
nostrils with the pungent aroma
of newly-mown hay. Wooded
paths are available to the adven-
turous spirit and a path through
a peach orchard placates even
more hungry souls.

Frank Graham's lecture schedule left him time to talk informally
with Scott students in classes and around the campus.

Archaeology Can You Dig It?

It was difficult to convince the
citizens of Blountstown, Florida,
that the 13 young males and fe-
males living together in a dilap-
idated old house were actually
archaeology students from Flor-
ida State University. The long
summer days from mid-June to
mid-August were spent toiling in
the steaming jungles of Torreya
State Park under the direction
of Dr. George Percy. At the end
of each day we could contem-
plate the luxury of our one oper-
able shower as we rode the 20
miles back home in our two faith-
ful pick-up trucks.

The object of our search was
evidence of what might have been
a seasonal campsite for prehis-
toric Indians living in that area
near the Apalachicola River.
There is a small burial mound
next to it, but since we didn't go
into it we uncovered no human
bones. What we did find was
what seemed like a zillion small
pottery fragments, none of which
appeared to belong to the same
pot. We also found a few flint

By JAN FREDRICKSON

chips and pieces of animal bone,
a large shell deposit in one place,
and some charcoal of incfeter-
inate origin.

The process of unearthing all
this involves procedures I was-
n't aware were necessary for ex-
cavation. The entire site is sur-
veyed and elevations are mapped
on a huge piece of graph paper
which gives an overall view of
the terrain and work in progress. .

Most of the 5' by 5' squares
were shoveled and sifted by two-
man teams to determine site
boundaries.

In areas of high artifact con-
centration we dug connecting
squares forming trenches. These
we trowelled by 3" levels, bag-
ging each object separately. Be-
fore removing any of these, we
plotted their positions and took
elevations on them. (Another
surveying technique).

When a square had reached
its final depth, a photograph was
taken of its east wall. Getting
the wall perpendicular with the
floor and removing every speck

Dog Dates - Seeing Eye Dog, That Is

Blind dates are a common occur-
ance at Agnes Scott, especially
for Freshmen. Every Friday and
Saturday, the Majority of the
freshmen sit in eager, and very
nervous anticipation. Who (oi
what) is it that awaits them in
the lobby below? There are many
kinds of guys that exist in this
world, and sooner or later most
girls have a blind date with al-
most every one.

First, there is "The Squirrel."
He is all paws. As a matter of
fact, the only time his hands
don't wander is when he is driv-
ing, eating, or drinking. And
even then he keeps one hand free.

Secondly, there's "The Drunk-
ard." He takes you to a party
and gets so bombed you can't
understand anything he says.

But he thinks you have had
too much because he can't un-
derstand you, and at ten o'clock
he tries to ration your consump-
tion, which was nothing in the
first place.

Next there's the "Freaked-

By KAREN HALE

Out-Pot-Smoker." A date with
him is a real bummer. "The Slob"
comes for you in tennis shoes,
tie-dyed shirt, and faded, pat-
ched jeans when he's taking you
to the Regency Hyatt House's
Polaris Room for dinner.

And it's Mr. Motormouth
who wonders why you are so
quiet: but it's only because you
can't get a word in edgewise.

The Cheap-Skate takes you to
the Fraternity house on Friday
night. He is also too cheap to
fill up the gas tank, and at 1:50
(a.m.) he runs out of gas; of
course, he doesn't have a penny
in his pocket.

Then there is the "Reckless
Driver." This guy thinks he is
Joe-Drive-A-Car. It isn't until he
rallys around the corner when
leaving Scott that you realize
what sort of maniac you're
with. You wonder if you are go-
ing to get to where you are going,
and once there, you wonder how
you are going to get back.

But absolutely, without ques-

tion the worst of the worst of
blind dates is the "Real Winner."
There is really nothing wrong
with this poor fellow, except
that he thinks he is Clark Gable,
Paul Newman, and Prince Phillip
in one embodiment: him. This
in itself would not be bad, were
it not for the fact that he isn't
what he believes himself to be.
In fact this guy usually looks
about two years younger than he
is and is one of the most unbe-
lievably dull people you've ever
met.

But for all the agony, pain,
boredom, and wishing you were
anywhere but with this rotten
blind date, there is a (slight)
consolation.

You can come in a bit early
(12:00) on the excuse that you
are tired or that your boyfriend
is taking you to church to-
morrow, and you can sit in the
hall with all the other girls who
had lousy dates, compare stories
and add another name to that
long list of boys not to date.

of loose dirt would try the pa-
tience of a flea trainer.

Every occupation has its drud-
gery, and in archaeology, it's back-
filling. Digging ditches may be*
fun, but filling them up again
isn't. A shovel's no tennis racket!
Once all these wonderful things
have been taken ou t of the grou nd
they have to be washed, cata-
logued (numbered and listed),
and boxed in an orderly fashion.

For anyone who is seriously
interested in archaeology, I
would strongly recommend a
course of this type to find out
whether or not the working con-
ditions make it worth the effort.
In this case, we didn't have tests,
papers, or classes as such. It
amounted to a full-time job for
six hours credit. The credit may
not apply to anything at Agnes
Scott, but the learning situation
is unique and provides opportun-
ities for experience outside the
usual "school" environment. And
you may find the answer to a ra-
ther trite question: Can you dig
it?

Overheard

Senior looking into tea cup filled
with dirt - "Look, somebody's
tea is fermenting."

Rep Council overheard: Mr.
Hanna likes to have big cushions.

Exam Revision

The proposed exam revision in
the Sept. 28 issue of The Pro-
file, seems to be getting a hear-
ty welcome from the students
of Agnes Scott. Almost every-
one that was interviewed was in
favor of the change.

Some of the comments were
that the change will call for
more self-discipline and will place
more responsibility on the indi-
vidual student.

One student who opposed the
change pointed out that the re-
vision will remove the necessity
of organization, which motivates
studying.

Others commented that the
change will serve the honor code
and ought to promote honesty.

In summary, the majority of
students seem ready to give the

new system a try and are favor-
able to change.

WILL YE NO COME BACK AGAIN?"

Although he is now teaching ti
Brooklyn College in New York,
Sir John Rothenstein will be
back on the Scott campus from
Wednesday to Friday this week.

For the last two years, Sir
John has been a visiting profes-
sor in the Agnes Scott Art de-
partment. This week he will
again be part of the Scott com-
munity - chatting with students
in the L.D.H., the dining hall
and speaking in convocation on
November 1 0.

From 1938 until 1964, Sir
John was Director of the Tate
Gallery in London. During this
reign, he gathered half of the
collection which now makes the
Tate the largest gallery of paint-
ing in the British Common-
wealth.

Rummaging through the gal-
lery's storerooms one day, Sir
John uncovered a number of for-
gotten Turner oils. He seized the
opportunity to add these to the
Tate's display, thereby holding
the first big Turner exhibition in
the world.

To avoid damaging any paint-
ings during the W.W.I I bomb-
ings, Sir John placed the Tate's

MART A Dream or Reality?

By LUCY HAMILTON

(Monday, November 1 ) - On
November 9, voters in DeKalb,
Gwinnett, Clayton and Fulton
counties and the residents of At-
lanta will determine the future
of Atlanta by their vote on the
MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta
Rapid Transit Authority) refer-
endum. The $1.4 million rapid
transit system offers Atlanta
hope for the future through or-
ganized transportation.

MARTA offers faster, clean-
er, safer, and more economical
transportation. The proposed
monorail systems will cut travel
time in half. A trip from Decatur
to 5 points (downtown Atlanta)
will take 10 minutes; to the air-
port, 24 minutes; and to Lenox
Square, 25 minutes. By automo-
bile, the trips take twice as long.
The trains will run every 90 se-
conds; thus, long layovers be-
tween transfers will become ob-
solete. (Because they are elec-
tric, the monorails will produce
no pollution).

MARTA proposes the buying
of 430 new, air conditioned
buses with anti-pollution
devices. The fares will be re-
duced to 15 cents with no ad-
ditional cost for transfers.

Decatur will have a new bus and
improved rail station with exten-
sive parking facilities. The addi-
tional buses and the new rail
systems will minimize traffic
jams, smog, and confusion.

Another advantage MARTA
offers is the revitalization of run-
down sectors in Atlanta. Popu-
lation centers follow transporta-
tion routes. With the new sta-
tions and routes MARTA pro-
poses, old sectors of Atlanta will
once again thrive.

However, the objections
against MARTA are threefold
and stimulate largely from con-
fusion. In 1968 another rapid
transit bill was proposed and de-
feated. Objections to the '68 bill
were that the money would
come from property taxes;
therefore, the rich man would
pay more than the poor man.
The '71 bill proposes a 1% sales
tax to finance the referendum
locally. The Urban Mass Transit
Assistance Act of October 15,
1970, guarantees federal finan-
cing not offered in the 1968 ra-
pid transit bill. The '68 bill did
not stress safety factors; how-
ever, the new bill proposes a sub-

way system with no posts, no
blind corners, well-lighted
tracks, TV scanners, and full
police coverage. Also the '68 bill
gave no protection to the home-
owner whose house obstructed
the path of a new railroad. The
members of MARTA must ne-
gotiate to the fullest extent with

the homeowner to find a settle-
ment for home and property
costs.

Will Atlanta succeed where
New York, Baltimore and other
large, old cities have failed? The
decision November 9 is MARTA,
yes or no; Atlanta, progress or
decay.

stant stream of articles since his

Morning Sorrow/ is the pro-
duct of his youthful aims to be a

lish painting.

Revised Exam Scheduling Passes

Academic Council finally passed
the revised version of self-
scheduled exams at its meeting
on Tuesday, October 26.

The plan had previously been
approved by Representative
Council and by the Scott facul-
ty. Exam procedure will be alter-
ed to this new format at the end
of this quarter.

In principle the same as the
exam procedure Scott has used
for the past eight quarters, this
new plan allows even greater
freedom to faculty and students,
and eliminates a great deal of
paperwork in the Dean's Office.

Now, the student will take
her exam envelopes to each of
her teachers, who will place the
exams in the envelope and send
the envelope to the office of the

Dean of Faculty.

A student's exams will all be
filed under her name and she
will be able to claim an exam
whenever she is ready to take it.
She will simply identify herself
and the exam she would like to
take.

Exam Periods

Exam periods will be set as
before - at 9 a.m. and at 2 p.m.
each day during exam week. The
obvious advantage of this system
is that students will have a flex-
ible study schedule that will al-
low for unexpected readiness as
well as thorough review.

An advantage that is less, ob-
vious but will be perhaps more
relieving is that exams will not
need to be made out three weeks
in advance. The new scheduling

involves much less bookkeeping,
so exams will not have to be
placed in envelopes until about a
week before exam time. This
will take a great deal of pressure
off of teachers who will not have
to "teach to their exams."
Flexible Plans
Although students will not be
required to turn in an exam
schedule in advance, they will be
encouraged to organize their
study and exam times around
some flexible plan. Exam proce-
dure will be explained fully at
Dorm meetings.

Furthermore, students with
an imprudent number of exams
untaken by the certain point in
the exam week will be automati-
cally notified by the Dean's Of-
fice.

Overheard

Legend has. it that one day as
Miss Trotter waited for the sec-
ond train to pass, she murmured
under her breath, "It must be
mating season."

It seems that Miss Trotter's dog
ate the first two pages of Bar-
bara Shuman's paper. When
asked how the dog was, Miss
Trotter assured her that he was
just fine. After all, she said, "It
was a good paper."

Pointing out the leaks in the din-
ing hall: Look between the girl
in blue and the girl in brown,
sort of unfocus your eyes, and
you'll see it. (And what's more, I
DID!)

To the editor: A great deal of confusion arises
when posters and publicity notices appear around
campus without the name of a responsible party.
In particular, because of overlapping interests,
Christian Association is often given credit for pos-
ters and activities not sponsored by CA.

For that reason all notices, posters, and other
publicity sponsored by CA are marked with the
board's initials in the lower right-hand corner.

Furthermore, I would Suggest that all notices
displayed on campus bear the name of responsible
organizations or individuals. With this information
available interested persons will be able to contact

Sing a Song of Sixpence Budget's Gone Awry

What would you do with an annual income of approximately $30,
000? Why, you would set up a Budget Committee with watchful
eyes and greedy fingers (expecting periodic reports on your financial
affairs, of course), and then you would settle back on a big cushion
and feel rich.

This is the principle by which we, as members of the Agnes Scott
Student Government Association, administer our student activities
fund each year.

This year, however, the principle is in trouble. Declines in student
enrollment have depleted the student government treasury; budgets
have been cut. At the same time an unusual amount of stashed -away
cash, and an equally unusual request by Glee Club, have created a
great deal of confusion.

In order to understand the situation, you must know that the
activity fund is made up of the $50 student activities fees paid by
each student at Scott. This money is used by nearly all student
boards, clubs, committees and publications.

Requests for allotments are made each quarter to Budget Com-
mittee. The committee, consisting of the Student Government Trea-
surer and the treasurers of the other boards, then formulates the
budget for that quarter. Passing it by a simple majority vote, Budget
Committee sends the budget proposal on to Rep Council from
whom final approval must come.

Now, this quarter the total Student Government income is
$11 ,033. There is also a fund left over from previous years of about
$7,000.

Requests made to Budget Committee for this quarter totalled
$13,612. Among these requests were allotments to Silhouette for
$5,031, to Profile for $2,000, to Aurora for $1,200, to BSA for
$1,800.

Among the usual board requests, Glee Club submitted the rather
unusual request for a special $5,000 allotment supporting the Glee
Club European summer concert tour.

This three- week tour has been in planning stages for two years
now, and for the forty-member choir, the cost will be $32,000.
$20,000 of that will be paid by the individual members of the tour
group. $7,000 will be raised through concerts, money- making pro-
jects and donations. $5,000 is to come from student government.

In spite of the cut-back in student activity fees this year, the
$5,000 for the allotment can be found. A recent raise in the activity
fee resulted in the accumulation of the $7,000 ''cushion fund. "

However, since this is the first time anyone can remember Stu-
dent Government having such a big cushion, no one knows quite
how to use it, or if indeed we can use it at all.

At any rate, Glee Club's request, along with the other budget
requests that were submitted to Budget Committee this fall, were
discussed, adjusted and passed on to Rep Council.

Rep spent two long meetings questioning the Glee Club treasurer
and tour director, and they finally passed the budget and allotments.
The stipulation was added to Glee Club's allotment that it would be
given only if Glee Club successfully raised the additional $7,000.

Throughout these proceedings the student body was well repre-
sented. Representatives of most boards sit and vote on Budget Com-
mittee. Rep Council is the student legislative body, representing spe-
cifically each class and each dorm.

Moreover, Rep meetings are open meetings and their discussions
are presumably not secret although no agendas are posted before the
meetings.

There was no reason, therefore, for any opinion on the matter of
either budget or allotment not to have been considered. Yet a week
after Rep Council approved the budget, Board of Student Activities
considered petitioning Rep Council to reconsider their decision on
the Glee Club allotment.

By this time, of course, Glee Club, having been assured of the
allotment, had made major investments in their effort to raise the
other $7,000 needed to finance the trip.

It seems obvious to me that the time had then passed for legiti-
mate opposition to the allotment. Glee Club's request had been
made through proper channels and opportunities for discussion had
been many.

But here 's the real rub: the main objector to the Glee Club allot-
ment is Social Council, whose treasurer did not even appear when
Budget Committee originally voted for the allotment. Yet now Soc-
ial Council thinks having a vote on the matter is most important.

Scientist to Visit University Center

Not Quite A
Peyton Place

by NANCY

Typically, small towns have a
few unique characters well
known to the populus. Having
grown up in a small town, I
myself can testify to the unique-
ness of several such characters.

Recently I heard another
story about the town's most
prominent penny-pincher. She
made a special trip to the town
hall to ask that they save the 8
cent postage per month on her
water bill. Instead she would
pick the bill up each month,
and 85 cents could be deducted
from one of them. Their efforts
would not go unrewarded - the
town would be making a net
gain of 1 1 cents!

Back when mousetraps were
2 for a nickel, this same lady
asked the owner of the hardware
store if she might borrow a
mousetrap overnight. She only
had one mouse, she said, and she
would bring the mousetrap back
the next day.

Christmas Ink

Another fegend about the
penny pincher goes years back
when just before Christmas one
year she asked one of the bank
tellers if she could fill up her pen

JONES

with some of their red ink. Why
waste 5 cents on a bottle of ink
when she had so few Christmas
cards to address?

Another unusual character in
the same town is held a little
more highly in the estimation of
the townspeople. Not too many
years ago, when highways were
not overly crowded, it was
rather commonplace to see Roy
running up and down the high-
way. He thought, and I suppose
still does, that he was a car.

Unbelievable as it may sound,
Roy would put his nickel in a
parking meter and expect people
to stay out of it.

Once he collared a salesman
who had parked diagonally with
one tire over the line. Roy made
him straighten up the car. Then
to the man's surprise, Roy pul-
led right on into the parking
place beside him.

He, of course, backed out of
parking places. He gave signals
and always obeyed traffic signs.
It must have been a real shock to
everyone when two brothers
who believed themselves to be.
policemen arrested Roy one day
for speeding!

James E. Wollrab, associate sci-
entist for the McDonnell Doug-
las Corporation will be visiting
the University Center November
15-17. At Scott he will give a
general lecture on chemical
lasers in the Bradley Observatory
on Tuesday, November 16, at
8:00 p.m. Anyone interested is
invited to attend. Also Mr.
Wollrab will be eating breakfast
at the Scott dining room during
his stay. Students interested in
talking to him informally at
these times should get in touch
with Lulu Safavi.

Mr. Wollrab is to visit Georgia
Tech, Emory, and Georgia State
also. At these schools he will
hold informal discussions with

students and faculty primarily
about research. On Monday,
November 15, Mr. Wollrab is to
give a talk at Tech on the cur-
rent research being done in
microwave spectroscopy. On
Wednesday, he is to speak at
Georgia State on chemical lasers.

Philip B. Reinhart, Assistant
Professor of Physics at Scott cur-
rently serves as chairman for the.
University Center Physics group.
It was his responsibility to get a
visiting scholar to come and
speak at several schools in the
University Center. A dinner
meeting of all the physicists in
the University Center will be
held in the faculty dining room
at 6:30 on the Tuesday of Mr.

Raymond Martin got a new office decor for his birthday. Thanks
go to the students of the Agnes Scott Music Department.

Playing the Numbers Game

Have you ever wondered why
courses are numbered as they
are?For instance, why is Sopho-
more level English given the
number 21 1 ?

As explained by Laura Steele,
Registrar, course numbers are
not selected at random. The
course level (freshman, sopho-
more, junior or senior) governs
the first digit in the 3-digit num-
ber. An exception occurs in the
01 elementary modern foreign
language which was considered
actually below college level years
ago. Greek on the elementary
level is numbered 101 and is the
basic course for the major.

In designating new courses,
course numbers already in use in
a particular department and the

PERSPECTIVE

most appropriate place in the
catalogue listing in relationship
to the other courses are the main
considerations. The courses are
listed in ascending order by
course number in each depart-
ment or division of a depart-
ment, although there may be
gaps in sequential order. The
numbers may represent some
progression in the level of a
course - for example Chemistry
103 is more advanced than
Chemistry 102, but both are the
freshman course.

Miss Steele gave the following
example as illustrating appropri-
ate placement and numbering of
a course. If the history depart-
ment wanted to add another
200-level American history

course that might be slightly
more advanced than the existing
History 215, the number 216
could conceivably be assigned to
this additional course.

But if the department should
want to drop the present 215 as
a 200-level course and make it a
ten-hour 300-level course, it
might be assigned the number
314. This would place the new
course just ahead of History 315
(American Frontier). The num-
ber 31 2, not in use in the history
department, falls in between 31 1
(Nineteenth Century Europe),
and 313 (The Renaissance and
the Reformation). It would seem
better not to place the new
course with courses in European
history, but to attach it at the

beginning of some advanced
courses in American history.

Some numbers have remained
constant over the years - 101
and 201 denote the basic or int-
roductory course in a number of
departments.

Frequently certain numbers
are saved for sequential courses.
For example, the numbers in the
350's for organic chemistry
courses. This consideration can
cause gaps in numbering in other
departments.

The number 490 indicates in-
dependent study since this could
be held as the highest number in
the catalogue and would be a
common number for all depart-
ments.

Wollrab's stay. (Therefore if over
your evening cup of coffee, you
happen to see several physicists
stroll by they're the ones with
sliderules in their side pockets
then you'll know why.)

Mr. Wollrab received an A.B.
degree in Chemistry from Knox
College. From Stanford Univer-
sity, he earned an M.S. degree in
Electrical Engineering and a
Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry. He
has a book, Rotational Spectra
and Molecular Structure, and
several papers to his credit. He
and Mr. Reinhart collaborated
on a paper entitled "Barrier to
Internal Rotation in CD3 BF2"
which was printed in the maga-
zine Chemical Physics. Currently
they are working on another
paper together along with Dr,
Edgar A. Rinehart (no relation)
of the University of Wyoming.
This paper deals with integrated
intensity measurements using a
computer cotrolled microwave
spectrometer.

Calculators

i he college has recently received
a gift of two Monroe program-
mable calculators from the John
and Mary Franklin Foundation.
Besides the impressive computa-
tional capacity of these calcula-
tors, the computational steps are
capable of being programmed to
give a capability not too unlike
that of a mini-computer.

The machines, available to
faculty, staff and students, will
be located in Room 320 But-
trick, and one in Room 107
Campbell. These rooms are
usually open from 8:30 a.m. un-
til 10:00 p.m. whenever the
buildings are opened.

Instruction manuals will be
available at each location al-
though they should not be re-
moved. Initially a list of indivi-
duals who can provide assistance
will also be posted.

letters to the editor from
individuals expressing their

Andrew Young / Sharing the Spirit of Peace Throughout Atlanta

Andrew Young is a man of many
sides Christian minister, chair-
man of the Atlanta Community
Relations Commission, full-time
advocate of rapid transit for
Metro Atlanta, former Demo-
cratic candidate for the 5th dis-
trict Congressional seat, worker
in several other community ac-
tivities. And he's been "pulling
for Jimmy Carter" ever since his
unsuccessful race in 1970 work-
ing to gain support for his 1972
campaign. He shared many ideas

with us on his recent visit to the
campus.

. . . On Rapid Transit

He believes that MARTA
(Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority), if affirmed
by the voters on Nov. 9, can be a
great reconciling force among
Atlantans. By working together
to reach common goals such as
rapid transit, Atlantans may rid
themselves of insecurities and ir-
rational fears, fears which cause
hostile barriers among various

segments of this heterogeneous
community. He asserted that it
is the Christian task to help
"break down the dividing wall of
hostility."

. . . Brotherhood of Man

Giving the example of how
physical structures unite per-
sons, he observed that Atlanta's
largely segregated churches cel-
ebrate the fatherhood of God at
11 o'clock on Sunday mornings
while the brotherhood of man is
celebrated on Sunday afternoons

at the stadium with Atlantans of
every description cheering the
Falcons on to victory. Rev.
Young says that a new pattern
of education is developing in
Atlanta to create a "humane ur-
ban environment." He suggests
that the school system must be
redesigned to fit the urban situa-
tion. One of the first steps is to
rewrite the textbooks to relate
to the urban situation. With
much faith for the future, An-
drew Young prays that "world

community and world peace will
begin in our hearts." Peace, har-
mony, community, and under-
standing begin within the indi-
viduals who seek to share this
spirit with others.

"It only takes a spark to get a
fire going

And soon all those around
can warm up in its glow . . ."

Concern is contagious. Pass it

on.

JOHN JACOB NILES

Singing Through the Backwoods

On November 21 and 22, John
Jacob Niles will be at Agnes
Scott. For those of you who are
not familiar with him, he is quite
a man.

In his 80th year, he is still
going strong in his folk music
career. He has written such tradi-
tional favorites as " Black Is the
Color of My True Love's Hair,"
"Go Way from My Window,"
and "I Wonder As I Wander."

Niles is a noted authority on

Backstage Blackfriars Play

By KAREN HALE and MARY GAY MORGAN

Tennessee William's play, "Sud-
denly Last Summer," will be
performed by Blackfriars next
week, on the 18th, 19th and
20th of November. Ann Bar-
tacious and Ann Dillard, in an
interview, spoke of the problems
involved in production and also
about some of the aspects of
role playing.

Ann Bartacious plays the role
of Mrs. Venable, a domineering,
socially-oriented woman. She
got the part after reading before
a casting committee of three
professors and three students.
Ann feels that the more she
plays the role, the more sensitive
she becomes to it.

The role of Mrs. Venable, al-
though very difficult to play, has
possibilities which grow with
each rehearsal. Though she [eels
that Mrs. Venable is the best
drawn of all the characters, Ann
still finds it hard to relate to her,
because Mrs. Venable operates in
an environment in which a col-
lege student would be unlikely
to live.

When Ann started to rehear-

se, she encountered problems in
really being able to feel the part
she was playing. Sometimes it is
easier to portray a character who
has a prop or characteristic pe-
culiar to him, like a walk or a
scar. Using this prop is some-
what like "trying on" the char-
acter's life. In Ann's case, Mrs.
Venable uses a wheelchair, a
cane, and a handkerchief in just
this way.

Ann Dillard is a producer in
the play, and is in charge of cos-
tuming. She explained that cos-
tuming must relate to each char-
acter. The clothes have to be
suited to the character's person-
ality in order to create mood,
and give the character more
depth. For example, Ann says
that a suit is very indicative of
Mrs. Venable's personality. A
suit, among other things, points
to her ironness of will.

An adequate job of costume
design needs a character analysis.
Choosing color is very impor-
tant. Not only must color fit the
personality of the character, but
also the actress must be able to

wear the color. Ann pointed out
that though the audience may
not realize the significance of
the costume colors, they will
sense the mood created by them.

Since the painting of sets
takes the same sort of considera-
tion, Ann Dillard's job as pro- #
ducer is a full one.

the nature and- history of the

tured at universities and conser-
vatories.

A Kentuckian, John Jacob
Niles was born in Louisville and
grew up in Jefferson County. He
left to study music first at the
Cincinnati Conservatory and
then at the Universite de Lyon
and the Schola Cantorum in
Paris.

For over 60 years, Niles has
sought out ballads from Kentuc-*
ky, Virginia, Tennessee, the Ca-
rolinas, Georgia and Alabama,
but he admits that the "moun-
tain counties of eastern Kentuc-
ky account for the greater part
of my ballads."

Many years ago, his wife,
Rena, a Russian-born woman,
became his agent and since has
booked his concerts.

"Rena sees that I don't give
more than a few concerts a
month, and then only for a li-
mited season." Niles said, "The
typical concert management will
book a performer seven days a
week, if there's an audience.
Rena began to arrange for my
appearances when I refused to
let the big city agents work me
to death."

At present, Niles is living at
Boot Hill Farm, 12 miles south-
east of Lexington, Kentucky, in
the heart of bluegrass country.

Irf his spare time, he reads
Zen, existentialist theology,
French poetry, and Appalachian
sociology.

Never having used his music
in social protest, Niles does not
agree with the militants of the
age. He does not think a Marxist
upheaval necessary.

He goes on to say, "I believe
there is a way to the hearts of
these young people. Not by
bashing them over the head, but
by leading them back to their
sources. Their mothers and fa-
thers should talk to them."

One description of John
Jacob Niles shows a man with
"his silver hair brushed back, his
fingers dancing across the strings
of a dulcimer built from the
pieces of the cello his mother
hoped he would learn to play
when he was a boy," singing "of
eternal things - the love of man
for woman and woman for man,
the love of man for God, the joy
and agony of the common life."

This man will delight Agnes
Scott on the Sunday and Mon-

By ANN YWING with ELLEN FLYNN

Vacation European Style
the Students

Agnes Scott is going to the Olympic Games. For three full weeks,
students will have the opportunity to visit Switzerland, Italy, the
Vatican State, the Republic of San Marino, Austria and Germany.
Peggy Cox, Assistant Professor of Physical Education, will accom-
pany the group in Europe.

The Touch Ingemar Bergman's
latest film, is his first venture in
the English language and thus
for export only. It is as useless
to compare this new movie with
previous Bergman works, such as
Wild Strawberries, as it is to
compare any one state in Picas-
so's work with another. Berg-
man, like Picasso, is an artist
who is constantly growing,
changing and probing new fields.

Nonetheless, to a Bergman^
follower, it appears that in aim-
ing for a foreign audience he has
made a film that is disappoint-
ingly shallow. However, true to
form, he plays with his theme on;
may different levels. What ap-
pears on the surface to be a tire-
worn love triangle, is in acutality

marriage - settled, unexciting,
without surprise or distractions.

Enter side three of the tri-
angle and distraction in the form
of David, English archaeologist
played by Elliot Gould. No
sharper contrast could be drawn
to the cool, reserved, blonde and
bland Scandinavian couple than
this dark and bristling foreignor
vibrating with a kind of wild viri-
lity. When David first meets
Karin, through his friendship

with Andreas, he sets out to get
her. She in turn is attracted by
his decidedly different and pow-
erful masculinity. He knows
what he wants, sets about to ob-
tain it and does patience has
no part in his philosophy ancj
what he can't have he abandons.

On the other hand, Karin
doesn't know what she wants.
She drifts into the relationship
because it is easier than actively

York on an overnight flight to Lucerne. From Lucerne, students wil
travel to such places as Interlaken, Florence, Rome, San Marino,
Venice, Salzburg, and of course Munich where the games will be
played from September 2 through September 6. On September 6,
Xhe group will return to New York.

the Alumnae

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Association has announced plans for a
European tour to be made in 1972. The group will leave on June 18
from New York on a jet flight to Athens.

The highlight of this tour is to be a 7-day cruise to the Aegean
Islands of Rhodes, Crete, Delos, Santorini and exotic Instanbul.

Sightseeing excursions will be conducted in and around Athens
and a trip to Delphi is included. The tour group will also visit Rome,
from which thev will return on July 2 after having been two weeks
in Europe.

An invitation is extended to all alumnae, parents, faculty, friends
and their families to join the tour group and vacation in Europe next
summer.

Bergman's favorite acting
couple, Max von Sydow and Bibi
Anderson, are the first two sides
of the triangle Andreas, the
husband is cool and patient, a
highly efficient and well-known
doctor. Karin has the role of
housewife and mother, feeling
her world just a trifle too small
for a woman of her intelligence.
They have three children and
throughout their marriage of
nearly 16 years have lived in the
same small town on an island off
the east coast of Sweden.

It is the type of town where
everyone knows everything
about everyone else - so far no
one has had anything of interest
to say about Andreas or Karin.
They have a very harmonious

That Life

by CATHY PIDGEON

If. you have ever been around
first Main on a late Tuesday af-
ternoon, perhaps you have heard
chanting from Room 4, Main.
Every Tuesday afternoon from
4:00 until 5:30 members of the
International Society for Krshna
Consciousness hold instructional
classes in the reading of the Bag-
avad-Gita and other aspects of
the cult. The devotees of the
Hare Krshna cult arrive on cam-
pus approximately a half hour
early to prepare for the classes
by chanting. Everyone sits on
the floor and receives lessons in
the Bagavad-Gita (the holy
book), transcendental medita-
tion, transcendental art, and
vedic cooking. Participation is .
not required. The devotees close
with a chant and a food offering.
This is simply a study group and
will be held for as long as there
is an interest

Such study groups for non-
credit are held also at the Uni-
versity of Georgia, Georgia Tech,
and Georgia State.

Hare Krshna philosophy is
non-sectarian: "All God is one
God." Krshna stands for God.
The Hare Krshna feel that if one
simply chants thse names of
God then life will be sublime:
Hare Krshna, Hare Krshna,
Krshna, Krshna, ' Hare, Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama,
Rama Rama, Hare 'Hare.
One should have a sense of
ecstacy after having chanted the
name of Hare Krshna.

The Hare Krshna movement

was introduced in America in
1966 by His Divine Grace, A. C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhu-
pada, who came from India "to
preach love of God to the people
of the West." Today the move-
ment has spread all over the
United States. There are now ten
adults and two children, living at
the Hare Krshna temple located
at 24 1 3th Street. However, there
are many more devotees living in
Atlanta but who do not live at
the tempie.

The Hare Krshna people have
a commune located in New
Vrndavana, West Virginia. This
commune is a complete center
for Krshna consciousness. All of
the service is directed towards
Krshna. The Hare Krshna people
provide everything for them-
selves at the commune. Incense

Martin to Give
Organ Recital

Dr. Raymond J. Martin will give
a faculty organ recital in Presser
Hall on Monday, November 15,
at 8:15 p.m. He will be assisted
by Ellis Cannon and Bill Maley,
trumpets; Jean Martin, French
horn, and Richard Brady, trom-
bone.

The program will consist of
two parts. The first six numbers
will be performed on the
Schlicker organ in Maclean. Pre-
lude in C Minor, Mendelssohn;
Sonata II in C Minor (Vivace;
Largo; Allegro [Fugue] ), J.S.
Bach; Toccata in F, J. S. Bach

are for organ alone. The brass
quartet will accompany Dr.
Martin on the following num-
bers: Jesu, nun sei gepreistet, J.
S. Bach; Sonata No. II, Johann
Pezel; Canzon Noni Toni, Gabri-
eli.

The last three numbers are by
contemporary composers and
will be performed on the organ
in Gaines. These compositions
include Toccata for Organ,
Gerald Near (1971); Sonatine
for Organ, Pedals Alone,
Persichetti; Prelude and Fugue in
B Major, Dupre.

Plans are in the making for a
new temple to be built in May-
puri, India. This temple is to be
bigger than the Taj Mahal and
will be the only center of its
kind. The purpose of the temple
is that it should be a school for
spiritual knowledge and will be
open to the whole world. There
will be living quarters for the
spiritual masters and 400 de-
votees. Thousands of square feet
will be covered with marble
flooring for performing chants.
An art museum will house the
pictures of all the spiritual mas-
ters. The ground for this fantas-
tic temple will be broken in Jan-
uary of 1972.

Since they feel that the only
real way peace can prevail is
through carrying the name of
Krshna to every town and village
of the world, the Hare Krshna
people are involved in spreading
their religion. However, this is
not a "door-to door campaign."

Instead, they do chants through
the streets and answer any ques-
tions willingly. A magazine is
published by the Hare Krshna
people entitled, "Back to God-
head."

At present there is a school
for spiritual knowledge located
in Dallas, Texas. This school is
open to the public and has as its
objective that that which is most
important is not material con-
sciousness but spiritual know-
ledge. The Hare Krshna people
want to teach children who they
really are. They should act as a
spirit and not as a body. How-
ever, they should not be imprac-
tical and neglect taking care of
the body because they are serv-
ing Krshna.

Anyone is welcomed at the
temple. Every Sunday at 5:00 a
big spiritual feast and festival for
Krshna is held and everyone is
welcomed then, too. :

Works by 125 Georgia artists have been assembled at The High Muse-
um of Art, Atlanta, for the first annual exhibition entitled "Georgia
Artists," which opened November 7, and. will last through December
5. This invitational show replaces the juried Southeastern Annual
Exhibitions which had been organized by the High Museum since
1946. Mr. Leland Staven and Mr. Bob Westervelt of the Agnes Scott
art department have works included in the exhibit.

On display during regular Museum hours throughout the first
floor will be close to 200 works which include paintings, drawings,
sculptures, photographs, ceramics and various other art objects.

Gudmund Vigtel, Director of the High Museum, has conducted a
deliberate search for the period of one year among creative artists
throughout the State for good examples of their work.

The decision to introduce a statewide invitational exhibition was
made by Director Vigtel because he felt "it would be much more
useful to Georgia artists and to the Georgia public as it would give
them a more generous view of what is happening in visual arts in the
state today."

The "Georgia Artists" exhibition is free and open to the public.
Museum hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Thursday evenings until 1 0 p.m.; and 1 2 noon to 5 p.m., Sunday.

One thousand new members in one month is the goal of The High
Museum of Art during the massive membership drive which was
begun November 1, 1971.

Categories range from a Student membership fo $5 per year up to
$5,000 which qualifies a donor as a Benefactor. In between these are
a Family membership at $20.00; a<3ontributing membership at $25;
and several Patron categories which range from $100 to $5,000.

Benefits gained from joining the High Museum include active par-
ticipation in Museum activities, such as outstanding exhibitions and
lectures by outstanding speakers with an opportunity to meet each
one, and "joint ownership" of works by famous artists such as Bel-
lini, Inness, Corot, Monet, Picasso, Gauguin, Boudin and Vuillard, to
name only a few. Members can make purchases at the Museum Art
Shop at a discount and can attend various film series also at a dis-
count.

Alliance, Inc.

fighting his aggressive demands.
She makes no decision, foolishly
expecting to be able to hold on-
to both men and both life-styles.

However, small towns are not
made for secrets, and Andreas
soon receives an anonymous let-
ter informing him of his wife's
infidelity. One of the most com-
pelling scenes in the entire film
is the result of the confrontation
of the two men. Andreas goes to
talk to David, half-knowing that
Karin is there. He wants to know
the truth, and when it is shown
to him he accepts it. David, how-
ever, becomes childishly furious
and illogical. In a complete
reversal of roles, it seems as if
David is the injured party, and it
is Andreas who has stolen his
wife.

David finally has to return to
England - angry because Karin,
unable to make up her mind, re-
fuses to go with him. Later she
decides to visit him in London.
Andreas does not try to hold
her, but warns her that if she;
leaves it must be for good she;
cannot come back. For the first
time she is forced to make a real
choice and she leaves.

Once in London she meets
David's sister who has multiple
sclerosis and panics because of
the hereditary nature of the dis-
ease. She is carrying a child
which is probably David's. She
runs for safety: Sweden and An-
dreas, who tenderly takes her
back.

After a fairly long time,
David returns to see her in
Sweden and asks her to marry
him. However, Karin has finally
realized that with David she has
no future. She has tired of his
demanding childish ego and flat-
ly refuses to go with him. This is
the second real decision of her
life, and David responds to it
with childish anger - turning on
her and nearly hurling her to the
ground.

The love between David and
Karin was from the start purely
sexual and rarely went any deep-
er. She was attracted to the ani-
mal in David, the sort of bestial
desire that was totally lacking in
Andreas. In Andreas' mature
love, a love given freely with no
demands, she saw indifference.
And she mistakenly saw David's
demands and the volatile hate-
love nature of their relationship
as real love.

Almost too late she recog-
nizes the nature of true love and
returns to Andreas hoping he
will take her back. He, who
loved her too much to force her
to remain, loves her too much to
turn her away.

The Board of Trustees Meet and Reorganize

The fall meeting of the Agnes
Scott Board of Trustees was held
on Friday, November 11. Pre-
sent were board members, invi-
ted college personnel, adminis-
trators, faculty and two stu-
dents, Gigi Wilson and Ginny
Simmons.

During the meeting reports
were heard from the campus and
from the board's committees.
Three major actions were taken
- two that concerned faculty
salaries which were both passed
unanimously during the initial
portion of the meeting, and one
regarding the structure of the
board, discussed and passed in
the board's executive session.

The initial portion of the
meeting included several re
ports. Mrs. Myrna Young, Asso-
ciate Professor of Classical lan-
guages and a Literatures and
Chairman of Agnes Scott's Self-
Study Program, gave an interest-
ing explanation of the purposes
and directions of Self-Study.

Following Miss Laura Steele,
Director of Admissions and
Registrar, reported on the col-
lege's present enrollment and the
status of incoming applications.
Miss Steele also explained the
plans for expanding the admis-
sion office by adding an Assis-
tant Director of Admissions. She
outlined the tactics by which

Making the Hub
A Center of Activity

By LUCY HAMILTON

I he Snack Bar in the lower di-
ning hall may close for lack of
student support. However a sug-
gestion to move the Snack Bar
of the LDH to the Hub is being
considered. Would students pa-
tronize a relocated Snack Bar? A
survey of 300 Agnes Scott stu-
dents from 5-6 p.m. in the di-
ning hall on November 4, yield-
ed the following results:

When students are on cam-
pus, 55% of those surveyed pa-
tronize the Snack Bar. The
Snack Bar barely breaks even.

Most students leave school
1-3 times a week to eat some-
where else. An overwhelming
number checked that they just
have to get off campus. An al-
most equal number want more
variety and better food. Yet 85%
promised to patronize a Snack
Bar in the Hub.

Could a change of location
provide the necessities for a pro-
fitable snack bar? The Board of
Student Activities (BSA) must
consider the numerous practical
aspects of the proposal.

The present kitchen in the
Hub would need remodelling,
enlarging, to serve the student
body. Workers would need to be
hired who would be willing to
work late, perhaps until mid-
night.

The interior of the Hub itself
would need redecoration to re-
lieve the impression of cold dis-
use. A remodelling should pro-
duce a different atmosphere:
from that of a Girl Scout Camp
or Hub Teen Club to that of a
college Student Union.

The main obstacle to the pro-
posed move of the Snack Bar
from the Lower Dining Hall to
the Hub is money. Furthermore
the students who leave campus
for a change of atmosphere pro-
bably will not support the Snack
Bar in the Hub.

However, a Hub-located
Snack Bar provides many advan-
tages. The Hub would again be-
come what its name indicates, a
hub of student activities.

It would be a place for people
to go between classes to munch
a quick hamburger, shoot a fast
game of pool, or watch a soapy
soap opera. Professors could
come to chat informally with
the students.

The most important advan-
tage, however, would be the con-
solidation of the campus from
individual units of dormitories
to one solid campus.

Students expressed desires in
the survey for complete dinners,
steak, (one request was for Chi-
nese food), and many, many sug-
gested beer. Not only would the
serving of dinners defeat the pur-
pose of a snack bar, but also it
would probably be impractical
and impossible. How could beer
be sold when possession of al-
cohol is not allowed on the ASC
campus?

Perhaps an added incentive to
use the Hub would be the reloca-
tion of the mail room from But-
trick to the Hub. However, this
subject has not been discussed in
depth.

At any rate the final outcome
of the Snack Bar rests with BSA.

Admissions is hoping to increase
interest in Scott - by using
alumnae on a large scale in pro-
moting, by opening rooms in the
dorms especially for visiting pro-
spective students, by producing
an advertising set of slides show-
ing campus and activities, etc.
Committee Reports
Among Trustee Committee
reports were those on invest-
ments, acquisitions of real estate
and relocation of Highway 155.
During these reports the two
changes in faculty salary were
made.

The first pertains to salaries
of faculty members on sabbat-
ical leave. Up to now the allow-
ance for faculty members on
leave was full Scott salary for
the first quarter and V2 salary
thereafter for up to three quar-
ters away from Scott. In addi-
tion Scott kept up full benefits
- retirement, social security and
medical protection.

The revision proposed on
November 1 1 changed the wage
for faculty members on sabbat-
ical to full salary for the first
one quarter and 2/3 salary there-
after for up to two additional
quarter, in addition to the bene-
fits.

This motion was passed
unanimously with the stipula-
tion that it would go into effect

as soon as feasible. At present
there is no money in the budget
with which to implement these
increases, but they can now be
made as soon as money is avail-
able.

The second motion regards
faculty attendance and parti-
cipation at professional ga-
therings, conferences, etc. In the
past Scott has paid transpor-
tation for faculty attending such
meetings, and has paid hotel and
meals for any who read papers
or took other major roles in the
conferences.

As revised at this last Trustee
meeting, the new policy will pro-
vide both transportation and a
per deum allowance for any fa-
culty members attending scho-
larly meetings. This measure,
too, will go into effect as soon as
funds are available.

The most impressive change
taken by the board was made in
executive session and involved a
change in the terms of the
Articles of Incorporation of the
college.

The Board is made up of 32
members each of whom could be
classified as either a corporate
member, an alumna member, or
a synodicai member. Synodical
membership was requested by
the Synods of Georgia, Florida,
and Alabama in the mid-1 920's.

Since that time the Scott Board
has selected Synodical Trus-
tees(for four year terms) and
then submitted their names to
the respective Synod for appro-
val.

College reports were also sent
each year to be included in the
Synodical minutes.

A change in this system has
long been favored by the Scott
board. Current restructuring of
Synods of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. has finally promp-
ted the action.

Trustees Now

No longer will the Board of
Trustees have different types of
members. Now there will be
"not exceeding 32 members, of
whom at least three-fourths shall
be members of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, but
all of whom shall be members of
some evangical church and
sympathetic with the funda-
mental principles of the Chris-
tian religion."

All Trustees will be elected
for a period of four years; and
each retiring President of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae Asso-
ciation will become a member of
the Board. Since Alumnae presi-
dents serve for a period of two
years there will always be at
least two alumnae of the Board
of Trustees.

To the Editor:

In writing this letter, I would
like to make a final attempt to
dispell the chaos and dissension
about the $5000 Rep Council al-
lotment to the Glee Club for its
pending European tour.

The issue was first proposed
at the 1971 Spring Budget Com-
mittee Meeting. At that time, I
inquired about the procedure for
the request to be made this Fall.

At the 1971 Fall Budget
Committee Meeting on October
4, the request for the special al-
lotment was included in the re-

passed 7-5, with one member ab-

AWAY FROM 'THE HARVEST HOME'

There are two things which are unique to Ameri-
cans. The first is Thanksgiving. The second is The
Daily Bath.

The first of these is so basic to the American
holiday seasons that autumn could hardly be said
to come at all if there were no turkey or pumpkin
pie no days at home no hours and hours of
sleep - no final break before exams. Whether we
stop to think specifically of Miles Standish et al or
not, we Americans, certainly celebrate Thanks-
giving each and every November.

Although Thanksgiving, here in the States, of-
ten deflates to naught but turkey and pumpkin
pie, the observance can blow itself into far more
importance for a traveller abroad.

Last year, while in Scotland playing the part of
an estranged American, I had to breathe through a
time when the fourth Thursday in November was
nothing but a day on the calendar. There was not
time off from school, no gathering with the fam-
ily, no cranberry sauce.

Somehow the idea that a year could roll past
when Thanksgiving just didn 7 happen, struck me a
blow of great emptiness. It was not like a Christ-
mas when I could not get into the mood. After all,
even without my spirit, Christmas happens to peo-
ple throughout the Christian world.

No, a year without Thanksgiving seemed to
slice away part of my identity it seemed to carve
off the U. S. as a nation. It was as if those pilgrims
had not sweated in the harvest after all, and our
land had remained uncivilized soil.

Some Americans are not easily denied their

HHT'
r

heritage. Paula Wiles and I, among others, refuse to
be daunted by misdirected traditions. On one
legendary occasion it took us three weeks of per-
serverence and a city-wide, shop-to-shop search to
find dental floss - because the product is pre-
sumably no longer either made or sold in Great
Britain. But once determination sets its jaw no-
thing but satisfaction will relax it. So did Paula
finally locate and promptly purchase the last roll
of dental floss ever to grace the British Isles. And
of such was our determination not to miss out on
Thanksgiving.

We schemed for weeks in order to design the
most appropriate of Thanksgiving rituals. The ob-
servance would have to be quick, ceremonious and
American. Inspiration finally came when we rea-
lized that we were at long last reconciling ourselves
to the weekly-scheduled baths of the non-
American world. Our parents and friends would
have been shocked.

What could have been more appropriate? On
Thanksgiving Day Paula and I rendezvoused with
bathing suits and towels in the dressing room. We
changed quickly and each beat a grateful 15 laps
of the university pool. After this ritual we cleansed
our bodies and heads in adjacent showers and
feasted on tea in the snack-bar.

Certainly it was not home, with all the bona
fide American trimmings, and we were not so
stuffed as most American celebrants, but we were
clean, and had perhaps never been so thankful.

It's Over . . . for Peet's Sake

To the Editor:

The editorial in the last issue of
the PROFILE contained some
misinformation concerning the
allocation of funds to Glee Club.
The motion as recorded in the
Rep Minutes of October 19,
1971 is as follows: "Rep Council
will allot $5,000 to the ASC
Glee Club for their European
tour, Summer of 1972, only if
they raise $7,500." Glee Club

has $7,500 to raise not $7,000
as reported in the PROFILE.

It is increasingly apparent to
the members of Rep Council and
anyone directly involved in any
ol the discussions that there is a
huge communications lag on this
campus. The matter of the
$5,000 was first discussed on
October 12 in Rep Council. It
was announced at the close of
that meeting that there would be
continued discussion and a vote
on the following Tuesday, Oc-
tober 19.

Rep meetings are held every
Tuesday at 5:20 In the Rep
room in Rebekah. All Rep meet-
ings are open, and the minutes
from these meetings are posted

on every hall of every dorm on
campus. My own feeling is that
there was adequate announce-
ment made of the Rep meetings
and any further discussion on
this issue is untimely.

It must be stressed that the
question put before Rep Council
was to give $5,000 to Glee Club
for their European tour or not.
This was not an eithcr-or pro-
position. Glee Club was the only
organization to request the
money.

Again, the motion is hinged
on Glee Club raising $7,500 and
any further discussion at this
time is a month overdue and of
questionable value.

Sybil Peet,. President, S.G.A.

The budgets were then put
before Rep Council for approval.
After a great deal of publicized
debate, the $5000 Glee Club
special allotment was approved,
with the stipulation that the
Glee Club raise the outstanding
amount.

The budget for the tour is as
follows: approximately $800 per
capita if 40 attend; total:
$32,000. Of the $800, the Glee
Club is asking its touring mem-
bers to pay $500 each.

The $500 figure was estab-
lished with regard for the $200
"hidden costs" of the tour.
These included our dresses,
shoes, tips, third meal for the
day and taxi fares.

This leaves $12,000 to be
supplemented by the Glee Club.
Of the $12,000, there is approxi-
mately $3000 in a savings fund
and an alumnae appeal has been
made to former members of the
Glee Club with the expected to-
tal from contributions at $2000.

The Glee Club has coordi-
nated several fund-raising activi-
ties. However, because of the
previous responses to such
events on campus, no more than
$2000 can be counted on.

Hence, there is a $5000 defi-
cit. That deficit is made up by
the Student Government allot-
ment.

The Glee Club has been plan-
ning this tour for over two years.
All facets of fund raising have
been explored.

Monetary commitments have
been made to the Tour Com-
pany and the contract has been
signed. Candy has been ordered,

to be sold and each touring
member has made a down
payment of $200. Contributions
have also been received from
alumnae and "friends of the
Glee Club."

At this time, I would like to
answer those organizations on
campus which have contested
the Rep Council's decision. Trea-
surers of all but one board were
present at the Fall Budget Com-
mittee meeting. There was ad-
vance notice of the agenda (in
the Spring meeting) and each
treasurer had an opportunity to
discuss the issue with her res-
pective Board.

All Rep Council meetings arc
open to any individual on cam-
pus who wishes to voice an opin-
ion about the issues, and min-
utes are posted in the dormi-
tories alter every meeting.

We elect Rep Council mem-
bers to express our opinions;
presumably they are responsible.
In proposing a student referen-
dum after the Rep Council's de-
cision, we arc defeating the pur-
pose of Rep and publicizing
doubt of its members ability to
represent us.

A decision has been made
which deserves student support.

A point has been made, too,
and that is that the individuals
on this campus employ a little
more incentive to acquaint
themselves with the issues before
Rep in order that the chaos and
dissension concerning this issue
can be avoided with future
issues.

Louise Huff
Treasurer, Glee Club

...Dissonance?

To the Editor:

Every student on this campus
is donating seven dollars so that
thirty-two members of Glee
Club can go to Europe.

This money cam from a sur-
plus in the $50.00 activities fee
paid by each student, and the
$5,000 which has been allocated
to Glee Club could have been
used for any purpose for which
Rep Council had chosen to allo-
cate it.

We are writing as individuals
to question this use of Student
Activities money which we be-
lieve could be used for projects
of lasting benefit to a larger
number of students.

It is indeed unfortunate that
Glee Club could not plan this
tour without having to depend
on such a large amount of stu-
dents' money to make it pos-
sible.

Some ask where these oppo-
nents were when this issue first
came before Rep.

We believe that the lack of or-
ganized opposition indicates that
students who are now protesting
the allocation cither were not
aware of the issue or took lor
granted that Rep would not ap-
prove such an unusual inquest

for such an extremely large
amount of Student Activities
money.

Many people, including Rep
Council members, were not
aware that this money could
have been used for any purpose
approved by the Budget Com-
mittee and Rep.

The benefit of the Glee Club
tour to the Campus community
can only be speculated. No one
really knows the effectiveness of
the public relations aspects of
theproposed trip, but the ques-
tion we raise is this: Should
money earmarked for student
activities be spent for public re-
lations?

We are not questioning the
importance of arts organizations
or the competence of Rep, but
the concern expressed by so
many students about this use of
their money cannot be ignored.

We hope that Rep will recon-
sider this issue, keeping in mind
that there are many other uses
lor which they might allocate
this money that would benefit
more of the students to whom it
theroretically belongs.

The UN Returns to Reality

By KAY PINCKNEY

Rationalizing
The Holiday Away

by NANCY

No doubt when the words DIS-
TRIBUTION OF EXAM MA-
TERIALS came to your atten-
tion so did that wave of anusea
so often accompaning such un-
expected shocks. It's hard to be-
lieve that the end of the quarter
is approaching. It's even harder
to believe that you still have
three-fourths of a quarter's work
to do.

What's the solution? Why
spend every minute of the
Thanksgiving holidays with your
books, of course.

But have you ever heard of
ANYONE who ever did it?
(Please submit all names to
Quiness Book of World Re-
cords.) No matter how good
your intentions are, you'll sim-
ply never read those millions of
pages and write those eight pa-
pers.

Between turkey dinner and
turkey sandwiches, friends and
relatives will find plenty for you
to do. And, of course, you have

JONES

to make up for lost time with
your dog, cat, canary, gold fish,
and ant farm.

For the student staying on
campus there are still plenty of
distractions, one being that urge
to catch up on your long lost
sleep. The new people camping
out in Walters for those few days
can prove to be distracting also,
as can the TV and that new
Mary Stewart book you've been
dying to read.

So, do you completely aban-
don all hope of studying during
the holidays? I'm certainly not
qualified to say. In the past I
have taken books home only in
case of unanticipated blizzards.
Holiday studying can be done,
though, my friends tell me. It
just takes a little will-power.

For those of us without will-
power, there is always the ra-
tionalization that we won't be as
tempted to rush back and take
all our exams in one day if we
only have a little respite now!

The United Nations has an im-
portantnew member in the Peo-
ple's Republic of China. This
country of 750-million people is
recognized as a political force
and the other China ousted from
UN membership.

When, in 1945, the United
Nations became a reality, only
one China existed. Then in 1950
Chinese Communists took power
in Peking at which time Chiang
Kai-shek fled with his govern-
ment and supporters to Taiwan.

China is a permanent member
of the UN Security Council. If
both China's still remained mem-
bers of the world body, which
one would keep the Security
Council seat? In terms of world
political realities, Communist
China; in terms of U. S. stub-
borness, the Republic of China.

750 million people can no
longer be ignored. Nationalist
China, although a soverign na-
tion and important in its own
right, no longer has the influence
it possessed 25 years ago. Ad-
mission of the People's Republic
of China to the United Nations
is indeed a "return to reality."

President Nixon recently es-
tablished diplomatic relations
with Peking, recognizing reality.
So why all the uproar about the
new Chinese faces in the UN?

The United Nations is an

Students Participate in Joint Enrollment

A relatively new program here at
Agnes Scott is the Joint Enroll-
ment Program. According to
Dean Gary this is a "doubie-
pronged" program offering a
high school senior an oppor-
tunity to earn both a high school
diploma and college credits.

A girl can take part or all of
her senior high school year here
at Scott, thus earning at the end
of her freshman year a diploma
given by her high school and sev-
eral hours in courses from Agnes
Scott.

At the present, there is a for-
mal agreement between Agnes
Scott and the Atlanta and Deca-

by CATHY PIDGEON

tur City school systems allowing
for the admittance of these
"special students."

Those students taking only a
part of their senior year at Scott
pay by the quarter hour. Other
students who are taking their
full year here pay regular tui-
tion. These students are offered
the same courses as freshmen
and receive full credit toward
their college degree.

Students involved in the Joint
Enrollment are usually accepted
in the spring of their junior year
after being approved for the pro-
gram by their high school or

principal. The SAT and ACT
must be taken earlier that year.

Thi Joint Enrollment differs
from Early Admissions which
enables a limited number of stu-
dents to be admitted without
completing their senior year in
high school.

Early Admissions is designed
for those who have taken all the
required courses offered in their
high school and who feel they
are ready for college.

This term there are twelve
girls involved in the Joint Enroll-
ment and/or Early Admissions
Program.

association of soverign states
who meet together attempting
to solve their disputes by nego-
tiations rather than war, and in
the social realm to create a bet-

of the world. World survival, in
the atomic age, depends on such
a world forum. Congress should
keep this fact uppermost in
mind when voting on UN appro-

Scott's Own Baskin Robbins

by LINDA HILL

Have you ever wondered just
how much ice cream the Agnes
Scott student body consumes in
a week? Well, here are the facts
and figures.

Every Tuesday and Friday
the Aristocrat truck delivers
from 90 to 120 dozen ice cream
bars, cups, cones, etc. to the din-
ing hall. The total cost for the
month of October was
$1,148.75, over $1.75 per Scot-
tie.

Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Hol-
den are responsible for selecting
the varieties from approximately
57 different kinds.

They make the selection ac-
cording to student requests.
They say that they have never
had a request for a variety they
were unable to get.

So, if you have any favorites,
just let them know and they'll
be glad to include it in their next
order.

Faith, Hope and Independent

By JOY

1 Though I write with the
pens of expert dialecticians and
grammarians, and do not Inde-
pendent Study, I am become as
a C-minus student with no hope
of graduating Magna Cum
Laude.

2 And though I have the gift
of literary criticism, and under-
stand all phallic symbols and
two foreign languages, and
though I have all insight so that I
could analyze Finnegan's Wake,
and do not Independent Study, I
am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my
energies to writing papers, and
though I participate enthusiasti-
cally in class discussions, and do
not Independent Study, it pro-
fitteth me nothing.

4 The writer of Independent
Study suffereth long, losing her
mind; she envieth not the Letter
of Invitation; she leaveth not her
carrel in the stacks, but is never
caught up.

5 Does not behave herself un-
scholarly, seeth not her beau, is
quite easily provoked, thinketh
in the style of the author with
whom she is dealing.

6 Rejoiceth not in plagarism,
but rejoiceth in the footnote.

7 Beareth late hours, be-
lieveth in the originality of her
topic, hopeth for the approval of
the members of her major de-

partment, endureth until she
earneth ten hours' credit.

8 Independent Study never
faileth to impress; but whether
there is a 3.0 average, it shall be
discounted; whether there be a
name on the Honor Roll, it shall
be overlooked; whether there be
a Phi Beta Kappa Key, it shall be
mistaken for a Tech fraternity
pin.

9 For the academic record is
judged a mere part and is scorn-
ed as a mere part.

10 But when the perfect In-
dependent Study is complete,
that which is a mere part shall be
virtually ignored.

11 When I was a freshman, I
spoke as a freshman, I under-
stood as a freshman, I wrote as a
freshman; but when I became a
senior, I was intellectually ma-
ture enough to do Independent
Study.

12 Now I contemplate a
vague outline; but then three
chapters evolve: now I compose
an introduction; but then shall I
finally be face to face with my
conclusion.

13 And now abideth an out-
standing grade-point average,
scores in the upper 700's on the
G.R.E.'s, and Independent
Study, these three; but the great-
est of these is Independent

Terry Kay Theater Critic, Actor
and Good Friend

CHRISTMAS DANCE CONCERT

Lord of the Dance

By BETSY ANDERSON

The Agnes Scott Dance program as a Christmas-time ex-

Group invites the community to
the Christmas dance concert on
December 8, at 11:30 a.m. in
Gaines Chapel. The Concert will
be the last Wednesday convoca-
tion before the Christmas holi-
days and is sure to add another
dimension to the joyful anticipa-
tion of the season. Each of the
four dances planned is a unique
expression of the Christmas
spirit.

The trio dance "Inside Now"
is an improvisation dance com-
posed of determinant and inde-
terminant movements; that is,
some movement phrases are set
before the performance, while
others are left to the initiative of
the dancer in the moment that
she moves. In such a composi-
tion the spontaneity of move-
ment expression is innate.

An a cappella mass by Ga-
brieli, composed specifically for
choirs of Venice to sing in San
Marco, provides the background
for the dance "Kyrie Eleison."
The three dance selections are
centered upon the liturgical
theme of the Kyrie Eleison. This
prayer "Lord have mercy upon
us" has always been an integral
part of the universal Christmas-
time thought and worship.

The Christmas spirit is expe-
rienced in the serious and in the
light-hearted. While Christmas is
a celebration of the incarnation,
it is also a good time to take a
lovingly critical look at man.
"Put Your Hand In the Hand" is
a short trio dance that is cer-
tainly happy, perhaps even light-
ly satirical. The audience may
make its own interpretation.

The last dance is "Jubilee,"
with more classical-romantic
dance overtones than the other
modern dance pieces. The
Christmas feeling, transmitted
through the traditional, is joy-
fully expressed in this dance
using |. S. Bach's Christmas
music. Most familiar of these are
")esu, Joy of Man's Desiring"
and "Unto Us a Child Is Born."

The Dance Group gives this

pression of joy through the cre-
ative art experience. Movement
is the medium; joy is the mes-
sage.

To be a theater critic takes a
great deal of determination as
well as some intestinal fortitude.
The theatrical season may have a
short duration, but, open hunt-
ing seasons on theater critics ne-
ver end.

Terry Kay, a member of the
Atlanta Journal staff, is one of
these people who is subject to
being remembered for axing an
actor's performance, a director's
prowess, or, worse yet, an entire
show. There is nothing worse for
the theatrical ego than a bad re-
veiw and nothing quite so grud-
gingly remembered.

For these reasons, it is not
surprising that very few critics
ever grace the stage themselves
as actors to be criticised by fel-
low critics. This is where Terry
deviates from the norm. It is
Terry Kay, as an actor, who has

oecome a semi- permanent per-
sonage on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus.

His acquaintance with Scott
spans several one-act plays, three
major Blackfriars' productions,
and ten years of association with
the students in their dramatic
endeavors. Tho those of us who
have had the experience' of
working with him, he has be-
come that valuable asset, a
"worldly friend."

He had his first encounter
with "Scotties" over coffee at
the diner which stood on the
present site of Decatur High
School. His first appearance on
campus was in "Something That
Lasts," a student show by Beth
Crawford in the spring of 1961.
Since then, there have been
others, including: The Glass
Menagerie, The Crucible and The

Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Terry's presence in a produc-
tion is enjoyable for audience
and fellow cast members alike.
He stands willing to suggest and
criticise and then to work until
the scene is what it should be.
At the same time, he remains
open to all suggestions about his
own performance. These quali-
ties mark him not only as a con-
siderate person, but also a pretty
good actor.

Backstage, he is ready to
share numerous quips and ance-
dotes from his vast storehouse of
experience or engage in some
clogging in the Greenroom.
Above all, and despite the cri-
tic's image, Terry Kay is human.
To see him as theater critic, read
The Journal. To see him as an
actor, attend one of his Black-
friars' performances.

"Suddenly Last Summer" Receives Praise

Let me first of all state that my
review is based on my having
seen the final dress rehearsal.
There were,quite naturally, tech-
nical difficulties involving sound
effects and lighting which I'm
sure were corrected before open-
ing night, which I will, therefore,
refrain from citing. The set itself
was exquisite, though perhaps a
bit confining. The house was au-
thentic and impressive, and the
garden appropriately wild and
junglelike to suit the mood of
the play. Ann Dillard did a fan-
tastic job with the costumes,
they evoked the period around
1936 splendidly and I found
those of Mrs. Venable and Mrs.
Holly particularly expressive of
their characters.

As for the cast itself, they did
a fine job with a difficult Wil-
liams' play. In their small roles,
Marisu Kennedy as Miss Foxhill
and Pat Austin as Sister Felicity
were convincing. George Tay-
lor's protrayal of George Holly
was a delight and he may ask me

i

Catherine

By ELLEN

tor a "chocolate malt" anytime.
As Mrs. Holly, Connie Brown ap-
peared appropriately fluttery -
confused by her daughter and in-
timidated by her formidable sis-
ter-in-law. Ron Fetzer did what
he could with the role of Dr.
Cukrowicz. It is a poorly written
part central to the action and
yet almost completely one-
dimensional. However, if he had
reacted a bit more to the evident
charm of Mrs. Venable, and did
something about his lock-kneed
stage stance, he could have got-
ten a lot more out of the part.

I have now come to the two
main combattants, Catherine
and Mrs. Venable. I wish they
could have been a bit more even-
ly matched - it would have
made for a better and more con-
vincing battle. Gigi Laughridge
was effective as Catherine - per-
haps I found her not completely
believable because I found it dif-
ficult to forget Elizabeth Taylor
in the role. But her interpreta-
tion of lunacy was, in part, to
stare blankly at the ceiling or
walls and jerk her head from
time to time, or stride across the
stage. In addition, I found her
nearly British stage diction at
odds with the almost comic
southern accents of her mother
and brother. All in all, however,
she played her part well, and was
particularly convincing in her
later soliloquies.

Nonetheless, Catherine was
eclipsed, as perhaps she would
be in real life, by the indomita-
ble Mrs. Venable. Ann Bartasius
was superb. Her portrayal was a
tour de force of beauty, spirit,
charm and cunning. With her
beauty alone she could easily
hold onto her son Sebastian, but
her Mrs. Venable had more than
just beauty, she had power. She
knew what she wanted, she al-
ways did, and it appeared folly
on Catherine's part to even hope

,j keep her from it.

I wish to congratulate the en-
tire cast on the production - it

was well worth the price of ad-
mission, but so almost was Mrs.
Venable.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club,
made up of 60 girls, will give a
Christmas concert on Sunday,
December 5, at 7:30. It will be
held in Gaines Chapel. No admis-
sion will be charged. The Cam-

the concert.

In view of the proposed con-
cert tour to Europe in the sum-
mer, this year's program will
have "an international flavor,"
according to Mr. Mathews, direc-
tor of the Glee Club. Various
works from America and other
countries will be performed. In-
cluded are compositions by
Hammerschmidt, Mozart, Verdi,
Tschaikowsky and Britten.

PIDGEON

A contemporary arrangement
of traditional carols by Mechem
and "Waken Little Shepherd,"
by John Jacob Niles are also
planned for the performance.

The program will be repeated
the following Monday and Tues-
day evenings.

Monday the Glee Club will
take part in the opening Christ-
mas festivities at the Regency
Hyatt House. Each year several
choruses from the Atlanta area
are selected to sing at the Regen-
cy.

Tuesday, the Glee Club will
take part in the evening service
at Trinity Presbyterian Church.

Sir John Contrasts NYU to ASC

Sir John Rothenstein was back
on the Scott campus early this
month. During this brief visit, he
spoke freely with interested stu-
dents about New York Univer-
sity. He is exceptionally well
qualified to compare N.Y.U.
with Scott because not only was
he a visiting professor in art for
two years here, but he is now
teaching art history at the me-
tropolitan N.Y.U.

Sir John was amazed at the
number of students in New York
City - 250,000; there are as
many students in that one city

as there are in all of Great Bri-
tain. Facts like this are not so
frightening until one considers
that these New York students
are exceptionally aggressive. If
they united behind one cause,
they could be extremely destruc-
tive. Realizing the potential
power of their students, the fa-
culty tends to handle them gen-
tly.

For example, one day the stu-
dents marched into the faculty
dining room, declaring that the
faculty were elitist snobs to eat
alone. This segregation was an

By AMY

Imagine a young edition of San-
ta Claus who speaks of the
search for humanity in a cultural
revolution and who sees the
need today for encounter groups
and you have a glimpse of Dr.
Robert A. Evans, Assistant Pro-
fessor of Philosophical Theology
at McCormick Theological Semi-
nary in Chicago.

Bob, as he prefers to be
called, is the speaker for Focus
on Faith to be held at Scott on
January 10-12.

In an interview on October
31 in Decatur, Bob emphasized
the individuality and creativity
of each person. The problem of

COOPER

mar today is basically a problem
of disinterested humanity and
communication failure. Could
each man perceive of his full cre-
ative being, the possibilities for
the individual and for society
could be endless.

Multimedia Presentation

His new book, Belief and the
Counter Culture, discusses many
of these problems. It is now on
sale and will soon be in the
Agnes Scott Bookstore.

In his multimedia presenta-

attitude which they, the stu-
dents, could no endure. The stu-
dent takeover met little resis-
tance from the intimidated pro-
fessors and the faculty dining
room became a public mess hall.

Now that their dining room
was no longer a refuge, the pro-
fessors were forced to seek asy-
lum elsewhere. They had to have
some escape from the terrible
onslaughts of students. Their
only alternative was to move off
campus. Now the professors eat
in undisturbed harmony in a ren-
ted room in Schrafft's. Only off
campus can they cerebrate in
quiet. These Yankees lack
Scott's golden apathy.

The reason N.Y.U. is so large
is that they have no admissions
requirements any one who
wishes may attend the university
until he flunks out. This open-
door policy is laudable until one
considers that the professors
could never get to know their
masses of students.

The entire university system
is so disorganized, Sir John is
convinced, that if a prof made a
compact with his class never to
meet, no one else would ever
know. The department heads are
completely unaware of what
their professors are doing -
many of them are not doing
much!

How totally different from
our often overly concerned ad-
ministration. While Miss Curry
worries about men in the lobbies
at 1:00, N.Y.U. students do not
let social restrictions get in their
way.

However Sir John recognized
that there were some problems
which face all liberal arts gra-
duates - what to do after gradu-
ation. He decided that of the al-
ternatives, work or study seemed
the best choices for the B.A.

He allowed that work is more
economically lucrative than
higher education - especially if
one went into undertaking. He

thought there was more of a fu-
ture for undertakers here than in
England. Perhaps Sir John has
been riding the New York sub-
way too many evenings, for he
had visions of Scotties embalm-
ing all of Lower East Side gang-
sters and raking in fortunes from
the Mafia.

His other suggestion was that
the industrious graduate could
publish a brilliant paper and
thereby get a post professing at
London University. The idea was
to pick a very esoteric topic and
to explicate in terms so cryptic
that no one could possibly un-
derstand. Thus, none would
know how bad it really was. For
example one could research
Melancthon's Electra complex.

For four days Sir John re-
turned to Decatur, resuming
once again his role as Scott's
gentle Mephistopheles, conjuring
order out of the confused world
around him, seeing the comic
element in the human condition.

Counseling Service

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030

December 3, 1971

by CHRISTI

This year a new counseling ser-
vice has been started at Agnes
Scott. The service x consists of
each of five ministers from the
Atlanta area giving two hours of
his time every week. All of the
ministers are enthusiastic.

Commenting on the after-
noon counseling sessions, Father
Geneisse remarked that he
"doesn't see numbers as the way
to measure" the success of the
counseling. He feels it is impor-
tant to go with the idea for
awhile and is in "no way dis-
couraged by it."

Any changes that need to be
made should be suggested by the
students. Father thinks that a
survey might be taken to see if
students want changes and if
they think the counseling is a
good idea.

Up to now, Father Geneisse
says the counseling has been
"quite effective" and "a-
dequate." Also, "since there are
five of us" covering the after-
noons, there is more variety.

Reverend William Johnston
feels that the counseling service
is effective. He says that "there
are always people coming in."
They ask about grades, majors,
relationships with their families,
and faith. He thinks the reason
for the good response is that he
has had " other connections
with these people." According
to Reverend Johnston, the talks
are in strict confidence.

He feels that scheduled times
would improve the program. Al-
so, he thinks the program would
benefit if each minister could
spend more time than the two
hours each day.

Reverend Dwight Pearce said
that a "rapport of trust must be
built up" before a good response
can be expected. This is necessa-
ry, he said, because "we hide be-
hind things."

Reverend Larry Green thinks
the program is worthwhile. He
feels that perhaps if the mini-
sters were on campus more
often, the program would be
more effective. Also, if ministers
became better acquainted with
the students by "browsing
around campus," the program
would be benefited.

Reverend Phillip Cato also
feels that the counseling service
has been used. According to
him, the girls are quite open. "I
have found that Scott students
are always candid." he said. He
doesn't think, however, that
many students are "put off be-,
cause we're clearly clergymen."
He believes that it is important
to emphasize the fact that "we
haveno tie in to the administra-

te CLARK

tion.

When asked if the program
could be improved, he said that
the time might be insufficient.
Because of labs and classes,
many girls might be unable to
come.

A memo concerning the de-
tails pf the counseling service
stated that "each minister consi-
ders himself to be available for
any student regardless of reli-
gious affiliation or lack thereof
for counseling of a'religious' na-
ture, i.e. related to values im-
portant for living a complete hu-
man life."

Furthermore, the memo
stated that ''the minister-
counselor is not a part of the
staff of A.S.C. nor is he expect-
ed to report to members of the
administration. His integrity as a
counselor is a matter of great im-
portance and his judgement as to
the nature of the confidence re-
vealed to him by the student
shall be respected."

All of the ministers agree that
the program will take time to
really be effective. Like Rever-
end Cato, they feel that "word
of mouth" will benefit the pro-
gram more than anything else.

Giving Credit

Where Credit Is Due

KAREN HALE

"The academic council may exempt a student from any of the required studies on the
recommendation of the department involved. The basis for exemption of a student's
competence in the field through an examination and through evaluation of her previous
study. No college credit hours are granted for exempted courses. The purpose of such
exemption is to allow the student to enjoy a broader intellectual experience during the
four years at college."

This quote came from Mary
E. Herbert of the Spanish de-
partment. Sounds fascinating
doesn't it? Think of being able
to exempt a required course!

This whole thing started
about two years ago, when the
Committee on Academic Pro-
blems (C.A.P) brought the idea
of required courses exemption
to the Curriculum Committee,
which sent it to the Academic
Council. Academic Council
thought it had some potential,
and passed it that spring.

Ever since that time (with the
exception of a few interested
faculty members) it has been sit-
ting in the files gathering dust,
just waiting for someone to take
advantage of it.

Each department sets its own
requirements: an oral or written

test and evaluation of former
studies. No credit can be given,
but this does free the student to
take another course which she
may want or need, but for which
she may not have time. A stu-
dent can even request (and have
granted, provided she pass re-
quirements) multiple exemption,
giving room for two, three or as
many extra courses as there are
requirements.

The potential for this pro-
gram is tremendous. It gives
more freedom, a more flexible
schedule, and more time for a
student to develop her capabili-
ties

Lack of student interest in
this program has done no one
any good. The faculty has al-
ready acted on this matter and
now the students must take it
from there.

Bookworms to Cash In

The Louise McKinney Book Award Contest is now open. Those who
wish to compete should send their names to Margaret Trotter, Box
990, Chairman of the contest committee, before December 16.

The prize is $50, given to the girl who presents the most interest-
ing collection of 15 or more books which she has acquired between
May 1971, and May 1972, and shows the best knowledge, judgment,
and enjoyment of her collection.

The judges, from the Library staff and the faculty, talk infor-
mally with contestants at the end of the contest, in May, and the
collections will be on display in the Library.

Collections may be of one type, such as fiction, or general, and
the books need not be new or expensive. Because this is an excellent
opportunity to begin or add to one's personal library, no contestant
loses.

Christmas Fund

Students, faculty, and staff will
be contacted after the Thanks-
giving holidays concerning their
contributions to the annual
Christmas fund for employees.
This fund, which is the only
bonus the employees receive, is
made up entirely of voluntary
contributions from the campus
community. Due to the large
number of employees among
whom the fund is divided, it is
hoped that everyone will be as

generous as possible in their con-
tributions.

This fund provides a way in
which one can say "thank
you"to employees all over cam-
pus: in the dorms, laundry, li-
brary, classroom buildings,
dining hall, and grounds. Please
give your support to make this
the merriest Christmas ever.

On the
Light Side

With my nose in a book,
Hidden with my work
In a library nook,

I'd probably find facts
Buried and untold,
But more than likely
I would just begin to mold.

Reforming the Calendar -

Would it Change Academic Quality?

With or without names, roses smell and they
have thorns.

Likewise, Jello, regardless of the mold it is in,
provided it is put in the refrigerator, will congeal
and remind us of Santa Claus.

Without making profound metaphysical dis-
tinctions between form and matter, it is important
to note that shape and appearance and superficial
labels do not necessarily determine the quality of a
substance per se.

Agnes Scott, as a liberal arts college, adamantly
insists on maintaining the high standards of
students, faculty, and courses. The students and
the faculty are the basic materials of Scott as an
academic institution. The shape of Scott's academ-
ic quality, since 1936, has been an academic calen-
dar which is divided into a corrupt version of the
quarter system.

Currently there is a great deal of dissatisfaction
In the quasi-quarter plan Scott has followed for so
long. The standard five courses that freshmen and
sophomores take impose a terrific burden on those
students. A similar burden falls on faculty who
must prepare for large and small courses of three
separate quarters each year.

Furthermore, since many basic courses contin-
ue throughout the year, students cannot receive
partial credit if they drop a course, fail a quarter 's
work, or transfer during the year. It is equally dif-
ficult to pick up a course during the year, because
many of the prerequisite courses do last the full
three quarters.

Dissatisfaction with this system last year
prompted the Faculty Study on the Curriculum
(Dr. Miriam Drucker, chairman) to assign a sub-
committee to specifically study the Agnes Scott
Academic Calendar. This committee conducted its
study last year and presented its final report to
this Study Curriculum Committee on March 8,
1971, recommending "that Agnes Scott College
adopt in principle the Semester System and move
with all deliberate speed to bring the system into
actuality no later than by September of 1972. "

The conclusions of that committee were not
accepted outright, however; at least partly because
the committee had only considered the "pure"
quarter and "pure" semester systems as alterna-
tives to the system we have at present.

Dissatisfaction with what we have still remains.
A "straw vote" taken hurriedly at a faculty
meeting this fall indicated that the faculty 4 to J

showed some degree of interest in the 4-1-4 system
now being adopted at several colleges around the
country.

A new faculty study committee, under Miss
Sara Ripy, Professor of Mathematics, has been
appointed to study our system and all alternatives,
including the quarter, the semester, the 4-1-4 and
mutations of the three.

The task of this committee could be a vital one
for Scott. There is no justification for continuing
under a "system" that cripples students and fac-
ulty as ours now does. Laboring under the pace of
five fast-moving academic courses allows little time
and energy for the enrichment and excitement of
research and exploration. It is downright negligent
for Scott to continue in the present system simply
to avoid the difficulties of a change.

Miss Jo Allen Bradham, Assistant Professor of
English, serving as secretary for Miss Ripy's com-
mittee, has called attention to the impressive fact
that the committee studying the calendar actually
meets regularly. They promise to continue their
study faithfully and to report periodically on the it-
progress.

In exchange the committee asks for written
comments, suggestions, fears, sentiments from the
community at large. No small committee can cover
all possibilities and complications involved in
changing a college's overall calendar. Yet if a
change is made, which is pretty certain, the change
will effect the lives of all of us here at Scott
students, faculty, administration, and staff.

So if you have comments to make, write them
out and give them to Miss Ripy. They need not be
formally scribed, although Miss Bradham is partial
to those presented in heroic couplets.

You must admit that if Agnes Scott were pre-
paring to move its daffodils to the amphitheater,
relatively little harm would be suffered by the col-
lege as an institution.

Or if Mr. Saxo/i suddenly began to paint the
columns on the colonade a brilliant ye/low, the
humor of the incident would far outweigh the cos-
mo logical blow.

But since it is the academic calendar under
scrutiny the change becomes more fearsome. Some
seem to feel that tampering with Scott's quasi-
quarter will undermine the academic quality of the
college, although the real change will be of the
shape of our quality rather than its content.

growing up

with santa

A one-Santa Claus-town has
its disadvantages. Have you as a
college student ever been stop-
ped around Christmas time by a
bearded old fellow dressed in
red? It's OK until some little kid
comments on Santa's giving that
old lady a sucker. But then if
you happen to be that little kid
there are certain advantages of
having only one Santa. With
only one to choose from, the
question of which one is the
REAL Santa Claus may never
arise.

However, there is still room
for confusion on the Santa Claus
issue. What a thrill it was the day
I got a telegram saying that
Santa would make his first stop
at my house that Christmas Eve!
Then how come my best friend
got the same telegram? We just
chalked it up as an error in
bookkeeping.

Santa apparently is not infal-
lible. Last Christmas season one
little boy in my one-Santa
Claus-town found Santa's forget-
fulness unpardonable. When
asked what he wanted for Christ-
mas, this little fellow stamped

his foot and yelled, "D it,

Santa Claus, can't you remember
nothin'? I just told you yester-

day in Asheville!"

Then again some kids put too
much faith in Santa Claus. A few
years ago a little friend of mine
decided to keep her Santa list a
secret from the rest of the
family. She had already mailed
her letter, she said. Santa Claus
knew what she wanted!

Then sometimes it's hard for
a child to decide what his par-
ents want for Christmas. Those

first and second grade everyone

Once my brother and I pool-
ed all our resources and bought
our mother a fine cut glass dish
for only 25cents! (She still uses
it!!) Another year I really
splurged and among other things
bought her a 17 cent bottle of
Blue Waltz perfume.

If only Christmas shopping
were that simple today. It's too
bad Santa Claus can't take care
of everything. At least those
suckers he gives out are good
medicine for tired feet and
aching backs!

At Christmastime all the
major film companies release
their "spectaculars" for the holi-

intention for this week's column
was to give you a sampling or

However, as this issue goes to

Escuela de Verano

The 8th Summer School in
Spain will be held at CIUDAD
UNI VERSITARI A, Madrid,
from June 30 to August 8, 1972.

This program provides an ex-
cellent opportunity to learn
Spanish, to see the country, and
to enjoy the warm hospitality of
this friendly nation. Students
will spend six weeks of intensive
study in the Spanish language as
well as in the culture and civili-
zation of Spain. The program is
aimed mainly to study, and great
emphasis is placed on the aca-
demic and cultural aspects of the
program.

The courses to be offered are:
Elementary Spanish; Intermed-
iate Spanish; Composition and
Conversation; Spanish Culture
and Civilization (one section
conducted in English); Cer-
vantes; 19th Century Novel;
20th Century Novel; Survey of
Spanish Literature; and Inde-
pendent Study.

While studying in Madrid, the
students will have opportunities
of broadening and enriching
their formal studies by visiting
the Prado Museum, the Old City,
Plaza Mayor, The Royal Palace,
el Rastro, and dozens of inter-
esting and historical sites in
Madrid and in the surrounding
towns and villages. Among these
sites are Avila, Segovia, Salaman-
ca, El Escorial, and Valle de los
Caidos.

A full day will be spent in
Toledo, visiting the famed
Cathedral, San Juan de los

Reyes, the house and museums
of El Greco, the church of San
Tome, and the Alcazar.

Students will travel through
Castillian wheat fields, visiting
La Mancha of Don Quixote, and
his windmills.

In Sevilla, they will see the
Giralda, Torre de Oro, and the
Barrio Santa Cruz.

In Granada, they will visit the
Alhambra, the Generalife, the
palace of Charles V, and the
tomb of Columbus, as well as the
tombs of Isabella and Ferdinand,
the Catholic Monarchs.

In Cordoba, they will view
the Roman bridge and the An-
cient Mosque.

Students will spend a few
days on the famous beach of
Torremolino, on the Mediter-
ranean Sea.

"NO ROOM IN THE WORLD"

. . ."We have left behind tne
real gospel the gospel of revo-
lution. Christmas says get ready
for the radicalism of God's
action in Christ; conceived of
the Holy Spirit; born of a virgin
(how radical can you get?); let
loose with a message to turn the
world upside down.

If you don't believe that, just
listen to the Magnificat; to the
song Mary sang when Jesus
moved in her body. It's undeni-
ably a hymn of revolution. Lis-
ten!

'He has scattered the proud in
the imagination of their hearts.'
That's a moral revolution.

'He casts down the mighty
and exalts those of low degree.'
That's a social revolution.

'He has filled those who are
hungry and those who are rich
he has sent away.' That's an
economic revolution.

F. Stanley (ones has called
the Magnificat the 'most revolu-
tionary document in history'
and I say Amen to that.

"That is the gospel we have
left behind - The gospel of
revolution for the oppressed. WE
have left the gospel behind but,
Thank God, the gospel has not
left us behind. It is still here
making its claims and stating its
challenges. It is still here calling
us from the sugar and saccharine
of a sentimental and diluted

faith to the prophetic stance of
the real gospel that says you
can't treat God's children like
this anymore.

You can't bring more people
into a world than the world can
feed. You can't close out the
children of God because they
don't pass the test of your self-
righteous, discriminatory, eye.
You are wrong and the gospel is
Aight. You must decide to be
radical and revolutionary be-
cause that's exactly what the
gospel is.

The gospel won't change.
You must change. You must
cease to see the gospel as some-
thing to make you feel good and
see it as what makes you feel
bad until you do something
about the hell in which God's
people are forced to live. You
must quit looking to the gospel
as a pacifier

"If you don't see the gospel
in this way, you. don't see the
gospel. You will stand with only
pablum and not power. And you
will miss Christmas - com-
pletely.

He was sweet, innocent, and
quite harmless in that manger
but he didn't stay there, did he?
No, he went on to start the revo-
lution - to turn the establish-
ment upside down. As happens
to most revolutionaries, they
nailed him to a cross but he
didn't stay there because he is
here talking to you, 'I speak the

real gospel!
follow me! '

maintained through a visiting 13
year old boy, who, as a go-
between, passes their secret let-
ters back and forth. The pro-
tagonists are Julie Christie and
Alan Bates, but charming
Dominic Guard makes a mem-
orable film debut as the boy a
bit bewildered and excited by
his summer role. There is little
action but great charm in this
film which says: "the past is a
foreign country; they do things
differently there."

A must for your little brother
or sister is Walt Disney's Bed-
knobs and Broomsticks. Angela
Lansbury is an apprentice witch
- mail order variety who finds
her spells getting out of hand.
The climax features troops of
empty armor clanking to rescue
the small English village from
the Nazis (at least I think that's
right!). However, the highlight is
an unroarious animated soccer
game in the wild and wonderful
and of Naboombu a Disney
classic.

As hard as it may be to be-
lieve of even face a tragic ro-
mance about paraplegics, Bryan
Forbes has brought it off in
Long Ago, Tomorrow. It is not a
situation tragedy but a film of
honest sentiment and a control
of mood and emotion balanced
and delicate. The characteri-
zations by Malcolm McDowell
(he was in If) and Nanette
Newman are believable and sur-
prising. Mr. Forbes has chosen
somewhat depressing material
and yet the limits of his vision
seem to strengthen the reality of
the film and the refusal to in-
flate or exploit the drama shows
taste and talent.

Other recommendations
include James Garner's The Skin
Game in which a funny con man
is conned, a spoof which inof-
fensively and subtly is a racial
parable: The Last Picture Show,
Peter Bogdanovich's (he used to
be a very good critic) look, un-
flinching and uncamp, at grow-
I exas town. Kirk Douglas and
Johnny Cash in Gun Fight,
which has a don't tell ending:
Peter Fonda and Warren Oates in

Ingmar Bergman who makes
even the seemingly banal into

One of the things most people
associate with Hoi/and is cold
winters with a lot of snow and
ice, and little Dutch boys and
girls wearing wooden skates,
skating on the canals during
Christmastime. Although this is
somewhat exaggerated the
story of Hans Br inker is to a
great extent responsible for it
the weather in the winter can get
fairly cold and a white Christmas
is not a specialty.

The Dutch way of celebrating
Christmas is quite different from
the American celebration, which
usually takes on a different at-
mosphere. Christmas for the
Dutchman first of all means the
birth of Christ and peace on
earth. All the decorations, stor-
ies, and' carols are centered a-
round this thought.

The Christmas tree is a favor-
ite decoration, but instead of
presents, the Dutch place a sta-
ble with the manger, the shep-
herds Qnd the wise men, and

in England

Christmas is the most beautiful
time of the year in England. The
ground is covered by a blanket
of snow and the countryside
seems to sleep while log fires
crackle in the hearth.

Christmas light glimmer in all
the windows. Christmas eve
carol singers come round and
presents are put under the
Christmas trees.

Christmas day begins with the

the animals underneath it.

For giving presents and gifts
to each other Dutch have reser-
ved an earlier date, December
6 a big family feast which they
call St. Nicholas. The Dutch cel-
ebration of the 25th of Decem-
ber is more concentrated on the
religious meaning of Christmas.

It depends on the different
religions whether and where
people will go to church, where
they will have their big Christ-
mas breakfast or dinner and how
many days the celebration will
fast. But the solemn atmosphere
characterizes the Dutch Christ-
mas celebration.

A Dutch Christmas specialty
is "herstbrood", Christmas
bread, loaf raisin bread (the
length depends on the number
of people, and sometimes can go
up to six feet or more) with es-
pecially alot of raisins and pow-
dered sugar on the top. Red rib-
bons are tied around it in bows
as decoration.

Sacha Bunge

church. Christmas dinner is the
meal of the year traditionally
consisting of turkey, cranberry
sauce, Christmas pudding set a-
light with brandy and mince
pies!

The opening of the presents
under the tree does not occur
until after the Queen 's speech on
the television. The afternoon

and evening is spent opening
presents, visiting relatives and
sampling everyone's Christmas
cakes!

The day after Christmas is
boxing day when the tradesmen
get their Christmas boxes or tip
and cold turkey is eaten.

Christmas is a time of unified

the most beautiful thing about
it

According to old sayings, the
Swedish Christmas does not end
until the 14th of January. Dur-
ing this period the Swedish
people do all they can to pre-
serve the established traditions
of the season, chiefly in the
form of food and lighting.

Gingerbread is made in honor
of the kitchen-baked bread of
the past. Boiled or roast ham,
spare ribs, and pigs trotters are
three of the principal Christmas
dishes a memory of the great
pre-Christmas slaughter to pro-
vide fresh meat for the Yuletide
table. Old-fashioned sausages
and jams are equally popular and
on at least one of the days the
"lutfisk" ritual is observed. "Lut-
fisk, " dried split cod which is
subsequently soaked and boiled
and then eaten with a special
white sauce, is probably a relic
of the Catholic fast days around
Christmas.

The Christmas tree occupies a
central position in the Swedish
home. It was first adopted by
the upper classes during the
eighteenth century and by 1900
it was a common sight in the
common home. Today Christ-
mas trees are being used to
brighten the December darkness
in gardens, parks and public
places.

For children Christmas means
Christmas presents, known in
Swedish as "julklappar"- . This
curious word derives from the
old custom of anonymously pre-
senting joke gifts. These presents
were tossed into the house after
the donator had first rapped on
the door. The Swedish word
' "k lappa" means to rap or knock.
Christmas Presents

Since the end of the last cen-
tury Christmas presents in Swe-
den have been handed out by a
sort of Father Christmas figure
known as the "jultomte" or a
Christmas Gnome. The "tomte",
a tiny fellow, usually lived some-
where among the outbuildings
and was regularly given a bowl
of rice-porridge at Christmas.

Throughout the entire month
of December most of the towns
and the main streets of them are
brilliantly illuminated and decor-
ated.

Our Christmas celebrations
are said to be very old, but it can
be said that it was in the 19th
century that our Christmas cele-
brations began to take on their
present form. The principles of
the independent, self-sufficient
household in the rural commun-
ity have been blended with the
wealth of goods with which we
surround ourselves today.

Christmas is becoming increas-
ingly commercialized in the big
cities of Brazil with fake alumi-
num trees, gaudy street orna-
ments, Santa CI a us billboards,
etc. However, in the interior, the
influence of the traditional
European Christmas can be seen.

The folk artists have been
busy for several months creating
the clay manger-scene figures.
The colorful animals, including
peacocks, pigs, dogs, and wild

cars, smile with definite person-
ality. The shepherds and king',
look like typical Brazilians. They
are often black or mulatto, and
they are playing guitars or smo-
king homemade cigarettes.

The artist is especially careful
in making the pink baby Jesus
who looks on with wise approv-
al. Each artist has a story to tell
about his figures, and each man-
ger scene tells the life of the in-
terior of Brazil.

Celia Reiley
On Christmas Eve, Brazilian
families, in good Catholic tradit-
ion, go to "Missa do Galo", or
midnight mass. Afterwards oil
the relatives gather tor the
"Dia", an abundant supper.

Late at night when the chil-
dren go to bed, they place their
shoes outside their doors hoping
for a surprise from Papal Noel.
Christmas day is a family time, a
time for gossip, and a time to
remember past Christ mases.

FOCUS On Faith J u,liard String Quartet To Perform in Gaines

In Retrospect

By AMY COOPER

This past week Focus on
Faith made its debut at Agnes
Scott. The new form of religious
emphasis week had Dr. Robert
A. Evans of McCormick Theo-
logical Seminary as its guest
speaker.

With emphasis on creativity,
Dr. Evans spoke on "What It
Means to be Human in a Cultural
Revolution." The questions of
faith and priorities were present-
ed as the participants viewed the
basic problems of humanity
today.

A new approach was used this
year in forming the annual
event. In working with Focus on
Faith, Christian Association
wanted to change the format to
meet the needs of the students
as well as respond to past criti-
cism of Religious Emphasis
Week.

The executive committee,
composed of Dr. Alston, Dean
Gary, Mary Boney, Sidney Kerr
and Amy Cooper, met last spring
to consider the basic approach.
The name, the location, the
method of choosing the speaker,
and the schedule were changed.

In contrast with the dark,
mysterious, and aged dignity of
Gaines, Dana was chosen be-
cause of its light, warm, con-
temporary and relaxed air. In-
stead of accepting a speaker
selected and invited a few years
in advance by a previous com-
mittee, the group set about the
difficult task of finding a really
good speaker who would meet
present needs and not those of
the past. Bob Evans was unani-
mously chosen. Having worked
extensively with college groups
in personal encounter situations,
Bob answered the need for a
new speaker image.

Focus on Faith was to be a
time of student involvement in
student issues. Thus the old,
strict lecture format was con-
sidered invalid. Multimedia
presentations, gatherings in the
Hub, a mini-encounter group, a
creativity session, times of pure
student involvement and an in-
formal but earnest attitude were
desired as a response to student
demands.

Bob was fantastic to work
with. He not only responded to
the requests, but also came up
with many ideas. A world
traveler as well as distinguished
scholar, Bob felt that a problem
which is touching everyone

today is the problem of finding
one's humanity in the midst of a
competitive and driving society.
Rather than directives, today's
individual needs a transforming
and illuminating faith to follow.

The informality, vitality, and
valid concern of the man and the
occasion created an exciting ven-
ture into the question of faith.
Students who would like to
know more about Bob's
thoughts in this area may obtain
his book, "Belief and the
Counter Culture" in the Book-
store. The songs of Ruth
Gregory are included in this
volume.

Key events included the cre-
ativity sit-in at Dean Jones'
home, informal and multimedia
presentations, a reception, the
stimulation group, a "blanket
presentation" followed by "food
for thought" and communion.

After Dr. Evans left to return
to Chicago, Focus on Faith con-
tinued with a dramatic reading
with interpretive dance and cello,
improvisations in the Friday
Chapel on Friday. The following
Tuesday a panel of students
from Georgia Tech, Georgia
State, Emory, and Columbia
Seminary discussed the relevance
of a Christian life for students
today.

No longer a sober time which
appealed only to a narrow seg-
ment of the campus, Focus on
Faith was exciting and thought-
provoking, and probably a mean-
ingful experience for everyone
who came.

The 1 3 member committee to
organize the week felt the rigor
and creativity involved in pro-
ducing a new form of religious
emphasis. Also present was the
feeling of responsibility in per-
severing, altering, and improving
an Agnes Scott tradition.

The Julliard String Quartet
marks for many the epitome of
modern quartet playing. As part
of their annual transcontinental
tour, these musicians will appear
in Gaines Auditorium on Jan-
uary 24 at 8:15 p.m. They have
also scheduled for this season
concerts at Washington's Library
of Congress, Tully Hall in New
York, Hunter College, and an
extensive European tour in the
spring.

An aura of glamor surrounds
each of the appearances.
Newsweek tried to define the
reason when the Quartet cele-
brated it's 20th anniversary in
1967: "The extraordinary unity
the Julliard Quartet achieves is
not the compromise of four
musicians mixing a rich homog-
enized brew with every musical
ingredient at hand; instead, the
players dynamically assert their
individuality, intensifying the
tension between the one and the
many. The Julliard's uninhibited
performances crackle with elec-
tricity as they gamble on a
promised fusion that can be
almost nuclear in its explosive-
ness."

In addition to their activities
as quartet-in-residence of the
Julliard School of Music in New
York, they have been quartet-
in-residence at the Library of
Congress in Washington since
1962. The latter makes them the
official First Family of Chamber
Music in the United States and
gives them the privilege of using
the invaluable Stradivarius
instruments housed there.

First violinist, Robert Mann,
was born in Portland, Oregon,
where he received his initial
musical training. (After gradu-
ating from Julliard, he studied
violin and composition under
Edouard Dethier.) After winning
a Naumburg Award, Mr. Mann
made his debut in 1941. He has
toured as a soloist and as the
first violinist of the Albuquerque
Festival String Quartet. The

Dr. Evans following convocation

Louisville Courier-Journal critic
cited Robert Mann as the
''guiding light and spiritual
mentor" of the group. He sensed
that " . . it is his intellect and his
devotion that molds the Julliard,
and inspires the kind of trans-
cendent playing it so often
achieves."

Second violinist, Earl Carlyss,
also a Julliard alumnus, is a
native of Chicago. He was recip-
ient of a grant from the David
Eqstein Memorial Foundation in
California and a two year schol-
arship from the Paris Conser-
vatoire. In 1957 he was awarded
a six-year scholarship by the
Julliard School of Music from
which he was graduated with the
school's highest award of e>cel-
lence. He made his professional
debut with the Pasadena
Symphony, has toured Scandi-
navia twice, and was concert
master of the New York City
Ballet Orchestra.

A Welcome

By KAREN HALE

Have you been seeing a few
new faces around the campus
lately? Well, if you haven't, you
should be as there are eight stu-
dents attending Agnes Scott this
quarter, who were not here last
fall.

Although Scott has gained
eight students this quarter, ten
have withdrawn: 1 junior, 4
sophomores, 4 freshmen, and
one special student. (Most of
these ten are either already
attending other schools, or are
planning to. One is getting mar-
ried.)

Last year seven students with-
drew during the Fall quarter,
and none were admitted for the
Winter.

Not all the new students
entering this winter are totally
unfamiliar with Scott. One is a
senior, Melissa Carter, who has
been abroad. Also abroad spend-
ing part of her junior year, was
Penny Gilbert. Another junior
student, Carol Moxley, transfer-
red back to Scott from Baylor
University as did Anne Gwynn
from F.S.U.

The other four new students
are Nancy Dodd, a sophomore
from Auburn, Shell i Treadway
from Berry College, and Teresa
Bramlette and Christine Brown,
both from Emory-at-Oxford.

But, whatever the statistics,
Agnes Scott is happy to extend a
winter quarter welcome to new
students and to old.

born in New York City. A
composer as well, Mr. Rhodes
holds a Masters of Fine Arts
degree from Princeton Univer-
sity. He has participated in the
Marlboro Music Festival in
Vermont for nine summers.
Several times he has been fea-
tured in the Music from
Marlboro series and has taken a
prominent role in their tour of
Europe and the Near East in
1965. Mr. Rhodes plays a Nicolo
Amati viola made in 1663
(vvhich is owned by the Cor-
coran Gallery in Washington,
D.C.)

An exotic touch is added by
the Quartet's cellist Claus Adam.
Mr. \dam was born of Austrian
parents in Indonesia, the son of
an ethnologist father and a
lieder-singing mother. His first
professional appearance was
with a boy's choir in Salzburg,
Austria. On coming to the
United States he earned a Phil-
harmonic scholarship, won the
Gabrilowitsch Memorial Award
and studied with Emanuel
Feuermann. He served as solo
cellist with the National Orches-
tra Association and the Minne-
apolis Symphony. Mr. Adam,
also, is an acknowledged
composer.

Since their beginning in 1946
the Julliard Quartet has built up
a repertoire of over 135 works
ranging from the classical to the
modern. They particularly enjoy
American composers.

In 1961 the Julliard Quartet
became the first American string
quartet to visit the Soviet Union
where they were well received.
More recently, they have return-
ed to the Soviet Union as well as
performing in Australia, in New
Zealand, and, under the auspices
of the State Department, in
Japan. In 1967, they made a
tour of South America. The
Julliard Quarter has also partici-
pated in every major music fes-
tival throughout the world.

Writing
Contests

The pounding of opportunity
can be heard at Agnes Scott's
gates. Two upcoming contests
for creative writing have entry
deadlines of February 15. Both
contests offer what Miss Margret
Trotter, Professor of English,
calls "modest money prizes."

The first of the two contests
is the Agnes Scott Creative
Writing Conference, which will
have a panel of professional
writers discussing manuscripts

Singing About the Exam System

Well girls, they went and did it they improv-
ed on an already good exam system. No longer can
we sing our old song (at least not as often). In case
you've forgotten it, I'll refresh your memory.
Please pardon my singing.

(To the tune of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning")

Oh what a beautiful sunrise,

But oh what a horrible day,

I've got this horrible feeling,

I fail my exams this way.

There my books are stacked neatly before me,
And my volume of notes in a pile,
My eyesight is blurry and head turning round,
And the butterflies within me surely abound.

REPEAT CHORUS

Then the new exam system came into being,

and a great deal of panic and hasty cramming
could be avoided. Even if not, it was reassuring to
know that if you didn't feel well, or if you just
weren't ready, you could put the exam off a day.
Also there was no way to get the wrong exam
unless you were so out of it that it wouldn't have
mattered anyway. Now we all had to change our
tune to

(To the tune of "We've Only Just Begun")

I've only just begun

To cram;

So much of study ahead

It's Wednesday and I've only taken one

Even if my lyric writing is not the best, and my
humor a tad cornball, I think we all have to agree
that this exam system is really pretty great.

Watchful Eyes, Greedy Fingers: Setting Up a Budget Committee

EDITOR'S NOTE - The follow
the Budget Committee proposal

The proposal outlining a restructured Student
Government Budget Committee, presented early
this quarter in Rep Council, moves to include the
Dean of Students as an advisory member of the
committee.

I am speaking strongly against such' a move, and
I suggest that the issue is an issue vital enough for
the entire Student Body to take a stand against it.

As informally presented to Rep on January 4,
and later stated in official RC form on January 7 7,
the proposed committee includes three appointed
members who are not organization treasurers, is
chaired by the elected Student Government
Treasurer, and specifies that the Dean of Students
serve as advisory member.

The theory is that the student members will
make up an unbiased and responsible committee
and the Dean of Students, in addition to having a
"feel for the clubs, " will be able to represent a
long-range year-to-year perspective that students
can't have. Furthermore, the 5-man committee
will together be able to do a far more effective job
formulating the budget than the student treasurer
can do alone.

Now I agree that it is far more reasonable to
have a small working committee to formulate the
Student Government Budget than for one girl to
do it alone, especially since that girl has no exper-
ience in performing such a task and may or may
not know all of what is expected of her.

My objection to the proposal centers around
the inclusion of the Dean of Students as an advis-
ory member of the committee.

Let me point out that Student Government
funds come entirely from Student Activities or

ing editorial was read at a meeting of Representative Council on J
was revised, dropping the Dean of Students from the new Budget

student money-raising projects. These funds are
.spent solely for student-organization functions.

There is no overlap with college funds or
expenses.

Traditionally student leaders have tended to be
intimidated by administrative positions. Many
times, through my experience with Rep, :he stu-
dent approach to vital issues has been this:

We might as well not pass anything that Admin-
istrative Committee won't approve.

Nor are these cries uncommon:

Dr. Alston will never allow that! or:

Miss Jones wants us to ...

The case in point is Parietal^. This is one of the
most vital issues on the national student scene
today. Nonetheless there are not even the vaguest
indications of Scott student body attitudes regard-
ing this prominent issue. Why? Because we have
been so sternly admonished by the administration
that even considering the issue here would seem to
be flaunting impudence in the faces of Dr. Alston
and Miss Jones.

I want to contend that, though campus security
and the flux of the neighborhood are serious con-
siderations against parietals, and are perhaps suffic-
ient reason for "withholding" parietals and open
dorms, still an issue so much a part of the way
students live their four-year campus life should be
open to discussion, opinion, and interest.

Nevertheless the case at hand is not parietals
but the student budget. Budget regulation is cer-
tainly very different from issues involving admini-
strative committee, but the intimidation factor is
the same.

It is unfortunate that students are subject to

anuary 1 1 . Through subsequent discussion,
Committee structure. GS

this tendency, and I fear that the fact must be
lived with on committees where students are
present merely to represent the student point of
view. But for us to make provisions for intimida-
tion on the Student Government Budget Commit-
tee, where funds are our own, and the expendi-
tures our own, is to slit our own throat and to
undermine our own self-confidence.

The disadvantage of having the Dean of Stu-
dents as even advisory member of the budget com-
mittee, in my opinion, far outweighs the
advantages Rep has cited.

For one thing Miss Jones' long-range perspec-
tive can as well be represented by a faculty mem-
ber or, better, by one of the employees of the
college bank. Second, the Dean's "feel for the
clubs" is already present in the student committee
members who probably have a far better feel for
clubs anyway. Moreover, student leaders do know
that they can go to faculty and '/or administration
for advice whenever they need to. The advantage
comes in being able to wait until the advice is
needed.

It is unfortunate that the Dean of Students
does not feel more involved with campus activities,
but I am quite sure that the Student Budget is not
the place for her to be involved. It simply is not
her business.

The decision must be made now. There can be
no trial period, for if the Dean goes onto the com-
mittee there will be no way to remove her without
serious risk of hurting feelings on both sides. So,
students, think about it On what ground will we
meet administration?

On The
4-1-4

To The Editor:

Your Editorial of December
8. 1971, on calendar reform was
very impressive, both in its
thoughtfulness and its concern. I
personally agree entirely with its
gist, but there is one particular
detail that seems to me to have
not quite received its due atten-
tion.

It is true that calendar change
is basically concerned with shape
rather than content, yet it is the

distinguishing feature of the
4-1-4 plan that the shape of the
short term is especially aimed at
providing opportunity for a con-
tent different from the ordinary.
The short term is intended to
provide opportunity for more in-
dependent and intensive work
than is generally available either
in the pure quarter or the pure
semester system, and an over-
whelming proportion of the
more than 200 colleges currently
on this plan feels that this aim is
successfully accomplished.

For instance, at Hollins, the
Vice-President of the Student
Government has written, "I
think that Hollins students have
found this to be one of the most
valuable aspects of their four

years at Hollins," and the Short
Term Administrator wrote, "I
can say, without qualification,
that the short term is successful
and heavily endorsed by stu-
dents and faculty alike."

Your remarks about the
shape of a substance not neces-
sarily determining its quality I
think are well taken in this con-
text of calendar reform, and in-
deed there is in 4-1-4, at least as
much as in any calendar, the
possibility of offering silly or
shallow courses. But it is to be
hoped, if some version of 4-1-4
were to be adopted at Agnes
Scott, that the short courses
would in no way dilute our tra-
dition of excellence, and that
they would indeed promote the

qualities of academic creativity,
intensity, and independence that
Scott has always aimed at foster-
ing but perhaps has not always
stressed in fact as heavily as she
ought.

Yours truly,

Mark Siegchrist

To The Editor:

May I through you, express
my sincere appreciation to the
ACS students and faculty for the
reception and acceptance that
has been given me as manager of

the Book Store.

For years I have been with
bookstores and book exhibits.
Never have I met a more cooper-
ative, non-complaining group.
The hot September days when
you had to stand in long lines
for your texts (often to find the
one you really needed was sold
out) were especially trying for
both of us. Yet through it all we
were treated with kindness and
patience.

It is a joy to be associated
with you. I knew it would be
before I came but your
"niceness" is a lanyappe. Thank
you so very much.

Sincerely,

Creative Writing Contests

On Popping

"the Clutch"

As one of America's leading
authorities on The Clutch, I feel
that it is indeed time to devote a
column to it. (In some circles it
is called Pre-test Panic or The
Hypers.) The Clutch may be
detected in the first stages as a
tendency toward queasy
stomach, heavy nail biting and a
bugging of the eyes. In the more
advanced stages, one goes into
double-time and suffers paralysis
of the memory.

For those unfortunate souls
who have never encountered The
Clutch, I will relate a personal
experience. On the eve of an
Organic test several years ago, I
took a break in an attempt to
lessen the grip of The Clutch. As
I took out my contacts, I
glanced at the clock - 10:15
p.m. I put a few dropsof Visine
in my weary eyes and stretched
out on my bed.

PERSPECTIVE

By NANCY JONES

The blurred form of an apple
came to my attention, and I
walked across the room to get it.
I calmly laid back down on the
bed and ate the apple. Some
undetermined amount of time
passed before I arose, threw the
apple core away, and strolled
down the hall to the bathroom. I
reinserted my contacts and
returned to my room, again
glancing at the clock. To my
utter amazement, I found that a
total of three minutes had
passed since I first checked the
time!

At that point, my roommate
came in and listened to my story
in great disbelief. Soon the
whole hall had been alerted and
warned of the seriousness of first
degree Clutch.

Over the years, it has been
noted that a 1 5 second exposure
to The Clutch may not be harm-

From Fried Chicken to Politics

By KAY

Lieutenant Governor of
Georgia, Lester G. Maddox
spoke at convocation on Wed-
nesday, January 5. The audience
obviously remained unimpressed
- and no wonder. We received
the standard talk on "how
Lester Maddox worked his way
up in the world," and his usual
tirade against Gov. Jimmy
Carter's governmental reorgani-
zation plan on grounds if its
"unconstitutionality." He threw
in some generally irrelevant com-
ments about how legislators
abuse their privileges by voting
themselves pensions and salary
increases.

The former governor stated
emphatically that "no office is

PINCKNEY

worth being a liar and a hypo-
crite" and that he chose to run
for public office because of the
"honesty gap" in government.
He projected the image of the
sincere, honest, and God-fearing
Lester Maddox.

The former restauranteur and
furniture store owner is the
"little man's" hero. His political
power in this state is somewhat
formidable, as evidenced by his
influence in the Georgia Senate.

No matter what the Agnes
Scott community thinks of
Lester Maddox, he deserves a
degree of respect as a public
official. Mr. Maddox is no joke,
but rather a tragi-comedy in
Georgia politics.

ful. Exposure exceeding 15
seconds, however, may lead to
serious complications. Indeed,
over a period of several minutes
The Clutch may spread to alarm-
ing proportions. Epidemics have
been reported in the past few
years.

There seems to be very little
that can be done to cure The
Clutch at the present. The Sen-
ior Resident's handbook offers
no assistance nor does the in-
firmary know how to deal with
this dread disease.

It would seem that in this

seen heart transplants and other
medical miracles, that someone
somewhere would come up with
a cure for the common Clutch.

A Knock-Out Police Thriller:
The French Connection

''A knock-out police
thriller!" "I sat on the edge of
my seat. I don't know of a more
exciting movie entertainment
today!" "Smashing entertain-
ment. A supreme movie-movie!"
These are all comments by
critics on the movie, "The
French Connection," now play-
ing at the Phipps Plaza Theater.

I must admit I went to see it
with a great many doubts as to
how I would like it, but it total-
ly won me over with its forceful-
ness and realism. The realism is
partly achieved by the fact that
the plot was taken from the

By JOY TRIMBLE

adventures of former policeman,
Eddie "Popeye" Egan, of the
New York Police Department.
The plot concerns a bust pulled
off by Egan and his partner,
Sonny Grosso, that netted 120
pounds of pure heroin worth
$32,000,000. Deeply involved in
the whole business was a French
connection.

Realism is also subtly achiev-
ed through the actors who play
the characters in the movie.
Egan, in the film, is called
Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle, played
superbly by Gene Hackman.

VIEWING THE BUTTERFLIES

By GIGI LAUGHRIDGE

In the second presentation of
the Famous Artists Theatre
Series this season, Atlanta enjoy-
ed two performances of Leonard
Gershe's new comedy, Butter-
flies Are Free. The play deals
with a young blind man, Don
Baker, in his attempt to gain in-
dependence from his overbear-
ing, but well-meaning mother.
The entire play takes place in his
apartment in a rather shoddy
section of New York of which
his mother, from Scarsdale, dis-
approves. Mrs. Baker also disap-
proves of Jill Tanner, Don's
next-door neighbor (actually,
Jill's apartment adjoins Don's by
a door they've unlocked.)

The production was directed
by Elizabeth Caldwell, one of
the few women directors on the
professional circuit, and while
there were several flaws in the
directing, the performance as a
whole was very fine. One could
object to the repeated u $ e f
some physical movements and
blocking patterns, or to the char-

acterization given to Jill, but the
obviously careful direction given
to John Spencer, who plays
Don, is sensitive and beautiful as
he portrays a man who is handi-
capped, but most definitely a
man who is a man.

The part of Mrs. Baker was
done by Jan Sterling, a noted
Broadway film and television
actress. This attractive woman
physically fits the role of Don's
mother, but excepting several
gemlike moments, she makes the
role less buoyant than it can be
and occasionally, her "mother"
voice becomes nasal and irrita-
ting. The character of Mrs. Baker-
is a strong one, for it must be
remembered that she has raised
Don alone for many years, and
this she has done well but with
an iron hand. Unfortunately,
Miss Sterling seldom achieved
this strength, and she often
seemed to be only a nagging dis-
tant relative instead of the
strongwilled mother

Jill Tanner was played by

Pamela Gilbreath, a newcomer
to the national touring circuit,
but experienced in stock and
off-Broadway productions. It is
an interesting note that Miss
Gilbreath is a former student of
Agnes Scott and a former Black-
friar. She has been said to be
quite talented, and from her per-
formance in Butterflies one can
accept that opinion. However,
the character of Jill Tanner is
certainly not one that is flatter-
ing to an actress, for she is un-
developed in some parts of the
play, and in others, the lines are
too blatant and forcibly reveal-
ing. The audience can appreciate
the character of Jill, but they
cannot honestly like her world-
liness (that occasionally resem-
bles rudeness) and her constant
inquisitiveness (which borders
on probing). And yet, it is pos-
sible in reading the script to have
a different concept of Jill than
the one used in this production,
to see Jill with a freshness that is
not so forced and grating.

Terry Deck as Ralph Austin
hardly seems worth mentioning,
the poor man was portraying a
character who is not really
necessary to the play (he's the
"other man" who almost gets
Jill when she decides to leave
Don for his own good), since
several healthy references to him
would have served the same pur-
pose as bringing him on stage.

Still, if Mr. Deck had shown
more vitality and real conceit,
which is supposed to be Austin's
primary characteristic, he might
have seemed less unnecessary.

It was def i n itely Mr.
Spencer's performance which
gave the show its sparkle, and
kept one from noticing many of
the weaknesses of the produc-
tion. In fact, it is only in retro-
spect that one can really start to
find a great many flaws. Tech-
nically, the same phenomenon
occurs; for the set, which was
realistic and very functional, was
also appealing and well-designed
in the use of balance and color,
while the lighting was faulty and
the sound kept coming from the
wrong side of the stage. It must
be admitted, however, that these
problems with lights and sound
could have come from facilities
or poor execution, rather than
from the original designs and
directions.

Although there were a great
many rough spots and places
that lacked concentrated direc-
tion and performance, perhaps it
is most important to say that the
show definitely was enjoyable.
The play has meat to it as well as
a good combination of witty
lines and hilarious sight gags, and
all told, it provided a night of
entertainment that was well
worth driving through Peachtree
traffic to see.

performer in it, though he is not
that famous. (He played the
brother in "Bonnie and Clyde.")
Grosso is known as Buddy
Russo, played with strength by
Roy Scheider. The Frenchman,
Alain Charnier, who is head of
the smuggling operation, is por-
trayed elegantly by Fernando
Rey.

And to make it interesting,
Egan plays a police captain and
Grosso plays a federal narcotics
officer, besides being technical
advisors on the film.

What will probably bf
remembered most about th\'
film is the chase sequence involv
ing a beat-up sedan (that was
still capable of being driven) and
a commuter train. You will def-
initely be on the edge of your
seat and holding your breath
during this. It's even better than
"Bullitt."

"The French Connection" is
certainly one of the finer films
of this year. Hackman is being
considered as an Oscar-
contender and the film deserves
much recognition. With its
"Dragnet"-type ending, it pre-
sents insight into how American
courts hand down sentences and
you should be very much sur-
prised at the outcome. It's a
rough film in places, but really
worth seeing.

About the Creative
Award Winners

A Seascape by Diane Moncrief, Auro-
ra Art Prize Winner, Fall, 1971.

By CHRISTI

The creative award winners of
the 1971 Aurora/ Fall are Betsy
Anderson, Betsy Haynes, and
Diane Moncrief. The creations of
each of these girls were influ-
enced by experiences particular
to them.

Betsy Anderson won the
poetry award with her poem
"Impressions: In
Elisabethkirche." She wrote the
poem while studying in Marburg,
Germany last summer. Having
been told that cathedrals in
Germany are like forests, Betsy
wrote her poem while sitting on
the back row of Elisabethkirche,
one of the first Gothic cathe-
drals. 'There was a crucifix at

lived for three years. The San
Sebastian, the river in "The
Other Side" is not far from her
house. She based the story on
personal experiences but not
directly, she said. Writing the
story last summer, Betsy said she
just sat down and wrote; "it
came easily," she added.

Betsy has done a lot of writ-
ing but has had no specific writ-
ing courses. The summer of her
junior year in high school, she
wrote for an Orlando paper.

Betsy's future plans are to go
to graduate school, possibly
studying law or library science.
Sometime in the future, she
would like to research and write
about Mississippi life.

AURORA/FALL

1971

AURORA is Filled
With Beautiful Things

By JAN FREDRICKSON

If you still haven't read the
Fall Aurora, do so. It contains
an excellent assortment of
poetry, short stories, drama, art,
and music. The poetry is con-
templative, satiric, nostalgic.
What is it that makes night so
strange? At what mentality is
television really aimed? What
will you remember when you are
old? There are many more ques-
tions both asked and answered
in thoughts and descriptions of
things real and fanciful.

Stories recapture childhood
with its special feelings and
views of the adult world. Who
oan forget the old gang or a dog
who understood? Essays deal
with innocence, marriage, and
new ways of seeing.

The art is varied, using a num-
ber of media: woodcuts, scratch-

board, paint, etching. There are
abstracts, flowers, faces, people,
animals, ordinary things put
together in new and imaginative
ways. The Victorian house still
stands proudly; the knight has
fallen on an empty chessboard
with no one to pick him up.

And there is more, much
more. There are beautiful things
and surprising things. One can
not only appreciate the degree
and amount of talent here, but
also find a lot to think about.
It's good that the AURORA will
be published more often this
year. There is too much literary
and artistic ability around here
to hide.

So, if you've read your copy,
hang on to it. It can be read and
reread now, later.

saw light coming through the
window, she noticed that "it
wasn't falling near Christ." When
the light shifted, "I had the
impression of breathing."

When Betsy was asked how
she went about writing her
poems, she said/ "I use some-
thing that strikes me. ... In my
own mind. I've got to under-
stand it."

Concerning her future, Betsy
said, "I plan to be happy .... I
would love to be at ease."

Betsy Haynes is the short
story award winner with her
story "The Other Side." The set-
ting of the story is her house in
St. Augustine where she has

Diane Moncrief's bi-metal
print "Identification" won the
art award. Diane chose pictures
of old people out of an assort-
ment of magazine pictures; from
these pictures, she did the print.
"It was the first time I've ever
tried bi-metal," she said. She
added that oil painting was her
favorite.

"I've always liked to draw,"
Diane said. Her high school art
teacher was particularly good
and inspired her.

Diane is not sure about her
future in art. "I've looked into
advertising," she said; but since
her interest is mainly fine art,
she feels that she would not like
the commercial-type art.

Monday, January 24, GRANDMA MOSES (22 min. color)
In this film we see both the artist and the person: her simple life on
her farm in upper New York State: her albums of fading photo-
graphs that sharpened memories of things past, her personal tech-
nique of painting and the special way she prepared her painting
boards to give her work its subtle luminosity.

JACKSON POLLOCK (10 min. color)

Pollock is seen at work, standing above his canvas and employing h\s
highly unorthodox technique of energetically swirling and dripping
paint onto it from a brush or stick.

Monday, January 31 - JOHN MARIN (24 min. color)
In this film, Marin himself demonstrates how he transposes the
world about him into works of art that express the movement inher-
ent in nature, and his own reaction to it.

PERTAINING TO MARIN (10 min. color)

After completing his film of John Marin, artist Jim Davis showed the
great water-colorist his leftover film shots. Marin thought that they
should be turned into a film and Davis did just that, creating a living
record of the artist's unguarded moments with his relatives and
friends, and many studies of his important oils and watercolors.

between China and the West fought in 1993. Taking place in Sweden
under the supervision of the Swedish Army and its giant computer,
both sides crack teams of soldiers who are urged to fight to the
death. The game is televised live to the entire world, sponsored by an
Italian spaghetti company. The Gladiators was the Grand Prize Win-
ner at the 1970 International Science Fiction Film Festival.

The Gladiators will be shown in the High Museum's Hill Audi-

ACADEMY THEATRE

3213 ROSWELL ROAD N E ATLANTA GEORGIA 30305 404 233-9481

Academy Theatre

Gargoyle Cartoons, a series of five short, mad, whimsical, funny,
incisive plays by Michael McClure, a contemporary San Francisco
poet, novelist, and playwright, opened Friday, January 14, at the
Academy Theatre in Buckhead. Peter Scupham, formerly workshop
director with the Stratford National Theatre in Canada, is guest
director for the production. Performances are at 8:30 p.m., and
continue on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights through February
12.

This example of McClure's writing is especially recommended by
the Academy to students seeking the best of what is growing out of
the "beat generation" of poets and authors.

The five "short illustrations" which make up the Gargolye Car-
toons are designed to be a bizarre, hilarious experience in new
theatre. They were chosen by director Scupham because of his belief
in their exceptional theatrical potency, too often a rare commodity
in the hundreds of new scripts to be found today. The five cartoon-
plays are 'The Feather," an orgiastic struggle between over-
structured individuals and the ever present creatures of libidinous
darkness within them; 'The Authentic Radio Life of Bruce Conner
and Snoutburbler," a modern parody on the bad old days of radio
and its effect upon a child in darkness; "Apple Glove," the fall of
man from the Garden of Eden via a confrontation with two snakes
and nature's involved food cycles; "Spider Rabbit," polarized aliena-
tion and its inevitable breakdown; and "The Cherub," dreams of a
disorderly heaven where confusion of roles abides on a sleeping
world.

Martin Gottfried, reviewing the plays in Women's Wear Daily
after a recent performance in Philadelphia wrote: "While kidding
hippie and pop culture, McClure also reflects it writes from the
inside of it - and there is no other writer who does it so well, so
delightfully, so poetically or, for that matter, at all. His grasp of
American pop myths and an American abstraction is extraordinary.
He is a poet of the visual as well as of the verbal, funny and terribly
serious, and (in these plays) he is in superb form."

The Academy Theatre provides reduced rate tickets for students
and groups. Reservations for all performances can be made by calling
the box office, 233-9481.

Meditation Lecture to be Held

To be able to think more
clearly, to speak more effective-
ly, to act with more energy and
creativity, and to enjoy life
more: such improvements in
daily living are said to be the re-
sults of a natural, easy mental
technique called transcendental
meditation (or TM). An intro-
ductory lecture on TM will be
given Tuesday, January 25, at 8
p.m., in McKinney Date Parlour
and another on February 9 at 8
p.m., same place.

Eric Dahl, of the Students'
International Meditation Society
(SIMS) will be giving the lecture.
He says TM is not a philosophy
or a religion. It is a systematic,
scientifically verifiable technique
which unfolds each person's full
potential. It is as ancient as man-
kind and is universal in its appli-
cation. He says it is simple and
easy to learn because it is so na-
tural, and that it will help every
person fulfill his aspirations in
life, whether they be to get bet-
ter grades, to work more effi-
ciently and with less effort, or to
simply enjoy life more. Better
personal relationships, increased
ability to deal with problems
and meet responsibilities, more
inner peace, and better mental
and physical health are all said
to be results of this simple tech-
nique.

All this may sound too good
to be true but recent scientific
investigation at UCLA, Stanford
Research Institute, and Harvard
Medical School has shown,
among other things, that during
TM the body perceives profound
relaxation and rest and is re-
markably free from tension. The
metabolic rate and biochemical
indications of anxiety decrease
considerably. The body gains a
state of rest deeper than the rest
of deep sleep in just 20 minutes
of TM, yet the mind, as recorded
by the electroencephalograph, is
fully awake.

The lecture this Tuesday at 8
p.m. on the technique of tran-
scendental meditation and its re-
sults in life is free. Everyone is
invited.

BE AN HONORABLE PIG

Board fees rise
with dining hall take-outs

By LUCY HAMILTON

As a member of the Student Body of Agnes Scott College, I consider myself bound by honor to develop
and uphold high standards of honesty and behavior; to strive for full intellectual and moral stature; to
realize my social and academic responsibility in the community. To attain these ideals, I do therefore

accept this Honor System as my way of life.

Like any strange and exotic

tur either doesn't have or has

When the Agnes Scott
student pledges allegiance to the
Honor System, she promises, for
all practical purposes, not to
cheat on tests and to report all
violations of the code.

However, the honor system
should include all aspects of
Agnes Scott life, even including
meals in the dining hall.

Since Agnes Scott students
pay for meals with their room
and board fee, they do not pay
for meals at the door, nor do
they present tickets for each
meal. Students are free to come
and go as they please, with no
hassle about identification.

However, as with all free-
doms, some students take ad-
vantage of this unique meal
system. Weekend guests slip in
and out of the dining hall un-
noticed. Boyfriends mooch off
girlfriends' plates. Agnes Scott
students leisurely amble out,
laden with cups, saucers, plates,
silverware, lemons, sugar, tea,
grapefruits, and full-course
meals.

The major excuse for taking
food from the dining hall is:
"Well, I missed a meal today, so
I take food back to my room to
compensate for it. After all, I'm
paying for three meals a day."

But according to Dean of Stu-
dents Roberta Jones, the dining
hall takes into consideration the

would include a race track, a
pool hall, and a casino. But after
all, what's Atlanta for? You will
notice that we are situated on
the opposite side of the railroad
tracks from the metropolitan
area. Which side is the "right"
side seems not to have occurred
to most people around here.
This may indicate a certain de-
gree of open-mindedness on
everyone's part.

For anyone belonging in my
own economic bracket, the
"nouveau pauvre," Decatur does
have a pawn shop.

fact that many students do not
eat three regular meals each day.
Consequently an average number
of meals is budgeted daily. Any
meals eaten over the average
create a deficit in spending. This
deficit is a factor contributing to
the increase in room and board
fees next year.

After all, it takes money to
replace silverware taken and not
returned. New plates, cups,
saucers, and glasses, frequently
borrowed, must be replaced.
Extra tea, extra cereal, extra
sugar, lemons, milk, and bread
must be bought in accordance
with the ever-increasing flow of
food to the dorms.

One girl, last spring, stocked
up on enough cereal to last the
entire summer. (Since she was
going to be working in Atlanta
she would probably not have
time to grocery shop.)

One boy has been eating regu-
lar meals here since September.
He has never paid for anything.

These instances of food pil-
fering create deficits in spending
for which, of course, the Agnes
Scott student must pay in rising
fees.

The costs, however, do not
present the full price a student
must pay for her dining hall priv-
ileges. The greater loss lies in the
noncompliance to the Honor
System for without honor
Agnes Scott is no more.

Comment

At first glance this may seem to be an oddly focused issue of the
Profile. Among key articles this week are two on problems of the
dining hall and one researching botulism.

The botulism article is simply a public service announcement.
There are a good many seniors, as well as other students, who will be
going into apartments either this summer or next fall. They will be
living, to a large extent, out of cans. They should know the problem
botulism has become: its causes, its effects.

The dining hall articles are discussions of problems that have been
with us as long as any of us can remember. Fixing and financing
2000 meals per day is no joke.

But after Lucy Hamilton's article what can I say? Carrying food
out of the dining hall for snacks and picnics, carrying friends into
the dining hall for feasts and I or punishment, borrowing a glass for an
afternoon: these are innocent antics. We all know how it works. I
myself would hate to have to make a little sister pay for the two
meals she eats at Scott every year. You don 't worry about crackers
or the tea-bag you munch on at 2 a.m. It is unlikely that even one
student at Scott has never fed someone free in the dining hall or
carried sugar back to the dorm.

These innocent violations however, are going to cost each board-
ing student another $100 in room and board fees, beginning next
year.

I know .the innocent antics are hart to resist. No wonder Honor
Court refuses to touch the problem of honor in the dining hall. But
is it easier for our parents to pay, than for us to crack down?

GIN NY SIMMONS, General Editor

Chimo from foreign students

Thank you Agnes Scott and
Agnes Scott people! Thank you
for the opportunity you gave us
to be here and to live with you.
For most of us the American so-
ciety is very different from the
one we grew up in and especially

A spirited tradition

Sophomore Parent's Weekend rapidly ap-
proaches. Many of us here probably consider this
one of the best and most enjoyable traditions
maintained at Scott. The entire school gets to
prune its feathers and strut around a bit. Strut,
strut. And for February that's quite something in
itself.

The whole student body reaps benefits from
this event. The Sophomores for the first time real-
ly unite as a class. Out of necessity, they must
work as a team in the planning of the various and
assorted activities and the producing of a show
with which to entertain the parents. The school
gets to enjoy the class production and the Dolphin
Club show which are presented simultaneously on
the Thursday night before the parents arrive.

More importantly the entire weekend generates
an enthusiasm that spreads throughout the campus
and sweeps away many of the winter quarter
blues. The Frosh can look forward with anticipa-
tion to the next year when it will be their turn to
shine, and the Seniors and juniors although prob-
ably a little green around the gills with envy still
no doubt enjoy the buzz of activity.

Some but not all of the faculty (MUCH to the

Sophomores' dismay) plan their quarters accord-
ingly and don't give them any major tests or
papers around that weekend. It could really cramp
a Sophomore's style to have to study much during
that time.

In one way however, the faculty members in
the past have been slipping up. A reception is held
in Winship lobby that Saturday afternoon specifi-
cally to give the parents and students a chance to
talk informally with the professors. Yet there has
not been excellent attendance on the part of the
faculty in the past. Not all parents can get to
Atlanta in time to attend classes on Friday and
therefore only meet the Thursday morning pro-
fessors. Too the classroom situation doesn't exactly
lend itself to meeting people. Therefore this recep-
tion can be of real importance to the students and
I think it necessary for the faculty members to
make every effort to attend. And besides the food
Mrs. Alston prepares is so good, that who can pos-
sibly refuse!

Therefore let's all get behind the Sophomore
class and cheer them on their way. "Ears" to you
Mickey!!

PR I SCI L LA OFFEN, Managing Editor

therefore our stay in Atlanta is a
very broadening experience. We
are now able to compare differ-
ent societies and different ways
of life without thinking our own
is the best. We can appreciate
different aspects of two socie-
ties, because we have partici-
pated in both.

Most important of all by
living in a different society we
realize the relativety of society
in general. Customs, attitudes,
and feelings are in different ways
applicable in every society. What
is socially accepted in one coun-
try does not necessarily have to
be so in another. To understand
these differences we have to
adapt ourselves to the society we
are living in at the moment and
become part of its every day life.

Unfortunately most people
do not get the chance to live in a
foreign country for a while. The
world would be in a much better
shape and would look so much
nicer if more people realized
how important it is not to judge
only by our own learned stan-
dards. It is important for us to
be able to understand that there
are different points of view and
that our own is not always the
right one, in spite of the fact
that society has taught us that
our values are the only valid
ones. This does not imply that

we have to change our values of
life. We do not have to accept
different ways of thinking,
butwe must be able to respect
them.

The main problem lies in the
word respect. It is very difficult
to respect someone, even though
he thinks and reasons along a
totally different line, but the
foreign students have found that
it is very possible and also a lot
of fun. We have learned a lot
from our "foreign" experience.

We have organized CHIMO as
an opportunity for you to
broaden your horizons. CHIMO
can only be a success with your
help, because we are organizing
it for you! We want to share our
experiences with you and get to
know you. So watch our bulletin
board. On February 9 at 7:00

lands. The other countries will

A college education isn't
everything, it's said. But there's
something to be said for that
incidental learning that comes
with college life. Where else
would you learn the art of shav-
ing your legs in the shower?
What better place to master say-
ing goodnight to your date
before a cast of thousands?

also increase your tolerance level
for such things as noise, chicken,

For fear of you interpreting
this as a subtle plea, let's get
things straight from the begin-
ning - there's no need to be
subtle. Christian Association
needs financial help. Our budget
has always totally been depen-
dent on student contributions
through pledges. For some rea-
son, (perhaps due to the infla-
tion of the dollar and the defla-
tion of student enrollment) stu-
dent pledges this year have not
been sufficient to carry out
Christian Association 's
1971-1972 budget.

What does Christian Associa-
tion's budget include? How
about Tuesday's chapel speakers,
Focus on Faith Week, sponsor-
ing visits to various Atlanta
churches every month, and other
student oriented projects.

It is not our desire to resort
,to fund raising projects to meet
our expenses. So we hope that
this will serve as a reminder that
Christian Association depends
solely on your contributions and
can't exist without you.

on the degree of your functional
abilities. (Although such experi-
ments may be unanticipated and
poorly executed, they can pro-
vide valuable information for
future reference.)

Just learning the living habits
or another person or of a whole
hall can be an interesting and
unusual experience. Here again,
ones tolerance for noise and dis-
tractions may be greatly tested.

A whole new world of ac-
cents may be opened to you. If
you and a new acquaintance
happen to be from different
parts of the country a translator
may even be necessary for a few
weeks. Communication is espec-
ially difficult when one mistakes
mirror for mere or creek for
crick, etc.

Also, during the college years
one may be exposed to a wide
variety of makeshift hair-dos.
Hopefully some of the less flat-
tering standard campus hair-dos
will not be in vogue in a few
years, but who's to know? It's
good to have a running file on
that sort of thing: seventeen
ways to cover up dirty hair,
eleven variations of the pojiytail,
etc.

Other valuable bits of inci-
dental learning may include such
things as self-taught courses in
hand-to-hand combat or how to
conceal your identity as a Cheer-
ful Cherub. Or how to figure tax

Georgia State holds
foreign policy meet

College students in metropolitan Atlanta are invited to attend a
foreign policy conference at 9:30 a.m. February 9 at Georgia State
University.

Joseph Sisco, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and
South Asian Affairs and Robert W. Moore of the Bureau of East
Asian and Pacific Affairs will speak.

Sponsored by the Georgia State University Forum and the Stu-
dent Government Association, the meeting will give students the
opportunity to ask questions about American policy.

For further information on the meeting, contact Dr. David
Forsythe, Georgia State University, 658-3152.

A companion conference sponsored by the State Department, the
Atlanta Chapter of the United Nations Association, the League of
Women Voters of Georgia, and the Southern Council on Interna-
tional and Public Affairs will be the same day at the Atlanta
Marriott.

Many of these learning exper-
iences would either be a long
time in coming or might never
ever pass your way were it not
for college. Foreign languages or
lab sciences may not stick with
you, but much of that incidental
learning has really made its
mark.

Looking candidly at botulism

By ANGELYNN McGUFF

Because of the recent news-
making furor over botulism in
Campbell's and Bon Vivant
soup, "botulism" has become a
household word for most Ameri-
cans. Their concern is under-
standable, since botulism is the
most potent known natural
poison in existence. A fatal dose
might be contained in one in-
fected bean.

However, the chances of get-
ting botulism are very slim
slimmer than the chances of
contracting other types of food
poisoning such as salmonella or
ptomaine poisoning.

Regarding all types of food
poisoning, there are nevertheless
some common-sense rules which
one should apply. One should
never eat food, especially can-
ned goods and meats, which has
a foul or unusual odor or taste.
Neither should one eat from a

can with a bulge or indentation.

In the U.S. botulism most
often occurs in improperly
home-canned food, especially
beans. An infected can has not
been heated long and hot
enough to kill the heat-resistant
spores which produce the organ-
ism, C. botulinum. The spores,
therefore, develop into adult
organisms, which secrete a lethal
exotoxin. This poison, and not
the organisms themselves, is
responsible for the disease.

Killing the spores requires
moist heat at 1 20 degrees centi-
grade for ten minutes; by con-
trast, the botulism toxin itself
requires only 65 degrees centi-
grade (or 1 50 degrees F) for ten
minutes to destroy it.

Suppose the worst happens,
and one eats botulism contami-
nated food: what are the possi-

bilities of a cure, and how can
one recognize the disease? Anti-
toxins exist which can stop the
disease before symptoms appear.
Atlanta's Center for Disease
Control is one of the world's
major distributors of these anti-
toxins.

After recognizable symptoms
appear, however, the rate of sur-
vival is very low, and depends on
the amount of poison eaten. The
toxin initially causes nausea and
headache, and finally acts on the
nervous system, paralyzing
respiration and heartbeat. The
disease requires about 18-24
hours to reach this stage.

As with most other things,
the best solution for botulism is
prevention rather than cure. But
if one suddenly realizes he has
eaten contaminated food, he
should obtain medical help im-
mediately.

Feeding the masses

By KAREN HALE

task. It takes skill, patience, and
luck all of which Mrs.
Saunders and her entire staff of
fifty-nine are fortunate enough
to possess.

Mrs. Saunders runs the dining
hall with efficiency (although it
may not seem so when you are
hungry) and calmness. She plans
meals, orders food, and coordi-
nates the bustling meal hours.
Her staff carry out the seemingly
thousands of different jobs in
the kitchen: preparing meals,
serving them, cleaning up after-
wards. (Anyone want to wash
dishes?)

Take breakfast for instance.
Every day there is sausage, ham,
or bacon; hardboiled eggs,
scrambled or fried eggs; three
fruits; hot cereal in cold
weather; toast; juice .... you
know it all.

Most of the staff arrives at 6
a.m.: one of the cooks, and
about eleven girls who serve.
They fix the fruit, juice the
oranges, pour the other break-
fast drinks, make coffee, cut cof-
fee cake, lay out the ice, and
make toast.

The front line starts serving at
7 o'clock while the back line
eats. Then the front line closes
to go start the clean-up in the
dining hall, while the back line
feeds the last few late sleepers.
Then they all pitch in and have
the dining hall spotless and shin-
ing for lunch by 1 0:30.

At 10:30 they begin to make
the salads and deserts for lunch,
and wash, sort and sterilize the
silverware. If the four dis-
washers need help, or one of
the six cooks doesn't arrive quite
on time, personnel is juggled
around to fill the need.

Does it sound complicated? It
is! But this is not all. Food
orders and deliveries must be
take care of.

Mrs. Saunders orders perish-
able goods such as eggs, meat
and milk on a daily basis. On
Saturday morning she plans the
meals for the coming week. On
Monday she checks with four
large wholesale distributers for
prices and orders the staples for
the next week which usually
arrive on Tuesday.

But coordinating all these

jobs is not by any means the
only problem faced by the din-
ing hall. The biggest is perhaps
keeping it clean. There are two
janitors who clean and mop up
after the meals, and keep the
restrooms spotless. And the en-
tire staff must work at it also,
because this year the dining hall
was given a 94 out of a 100 pos-
sible points by the health depart-
ment.

Other problems are not with
the dining hall, but with the stu-
dents themselves. Mrs. Saunders
says thai often a student will
take much more food than she
needs or wants, thereby causing
a great amount of waste. You
can always go back for more, so
why take so much in the first
place?

Have you ever lost anything
in the dining hall? Purses, pen-
cils, books, notebooks, coats and
even an occasional retainer are
found by the dining hall staff.
This is because students always
leave their belongings on those
first tables as they enter. Why
can't they be left in the coat

While feeding Scotties is the
major purpose of the dining hall,
the staff do have other jobs
which are almost as big as their
everyday one. They prepare and
serve for parties, teas, and din-
ners held in the president's din-

banquets, Sophomore parent's

vestiture. Quite a job, don't you

The 1972 season, with the
first for Atlanta of three World
Premieres, opened January 12
with THIS WA Y TO THE ROSE
GARDEN.

The other two world pre-
mieres for this season are
BROWN PEL/CAN and
ANTHONY BURNS.

BROWN PELICAN deals with
some of the most frightening
problems which man has created
in his environment and for
which he now seeks a cure. Play-
wright George Sklar who hopes
the audiences will find BROWN
PEL/CAN startling and theatri-
cal describes the play as "a fan-
tasy which might very well
become fact."

ANTHONY BURNS is an
historical play - the story of a
runaway slave who touched off
the Boston slave riots when he
was apprehended and forced to
return to his master in Virginia.

play, Pat Freni, also an actor
appeared in THREE SISTERS
and THE TAMING OF THE

Also of special interest to stu-
dents this season - ATC will be
presenting works by such fam-
ous playwrights as Eugene
O'Neill, Anton Chekhov, and
George Bernard Shaw. AH!
WILDERNESS, written at Sea
Island, Georgia is O'Neill's only
comedy a unique tender com-
mentary based on the author's
own family life in great contrast
to his tragic "Long Day's
Journey Into Night." The pro-
duction of IVANOV presents an
opportunity for students to
sample classical theatre by one
of the world's greatest play-
wrights. Student audiences will
delight to see that the rain does
fall mainly on the plain in
PYGMALION Shaw's romantic
comedy original of "My Fair
Lady."

The Student Audience
Shakespeare program will again
be continued with HAMLET the
selection for 1972. Freely admit-
ting that the undertaking of a
production of HAMLET in the
limited two week rehearsal time
is difficult, Bishop stated:
"There's one play that one just
doesn't announce unless he's got
the right cast and the right direc-
tor. Curt Dawson will star as
HAMLET and Ethel Barrymore
Colt will play Gertrude under
Tony Stimac's direction."
Dawson played Thoreau directed
by Stimac in last season's highly
successful production of THE
NIGHT THOREAU SPENT IN
JAIL. Miss Colt carrying on the
great Barrymore tradition, is the
daughter of Ethel Barrymore.
Special weekend night perfor-

mances of HAMLET will be held
for the general public.

One hour prior to each per-
formance upstairs, the Studio
Company presents original one-
act plays downstairs in. the
Studio Theatre. These produc-
tions, called "Curtain Raisers,"
are free to the public.

The playing schedule is:
Opening Week, Wed. - Sat.,

"Essentially, we went as pil-
grims," Dr. Paul Garber said of
his recent trip to the Bible lands.
December 26, 1971, Dr. and
Mrs. Garber departed the coun-
try with 32 people. Their desti-
nation? Palestine, then Rome.
Not one of the 32 had ever been
to Palestine previously.

Dr. William Lancaster of
Decatur First Baptist Church
organized the group. Dr. Garber
was to be lecturer. When Dr.
Lancaster became unable to go,
Dr. Garber assumed Dr.
Lancaster's responsibility.

Before leaving, the members
of the group read Bible passages
corresponding to the place they
would visit. The group had an
unusually good Bible back-
ground. Three were Agnes Scott
alumnae. Four were ordained
ministers.

The morning of December
28, in Jerusalem, the group
woke up to snow. Snow in
Jerusalem is as common as it is
in Atlanta.

They visited Bethlehem, the
Jordan River area, Bethany. As
part of the spiritual experience,
Dr. Garber exposed them to a
flock of sheep, a vineyard, an
olive press. Olives and bread are
the "meat and potatoes" of the
Mediterranean area.

Dr. Garber incorporated
Roman Catholic liturgy on the
14 Stations of the cross into the
Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrow).
He also taught the group Jewish
blessings to use at meals.

The group spent one day in
Rome. The flight home on Jan-
uary 4 was over the Alps.

Dr. Garber summed up the
trip by saying, "It wasn't just
the places. ..." The Bible came
alive by their experiences.

Things cannot be at a standstill forever.

Union with men in the open.
Success.

It furthers one to cross the great water.

Union with men at the gate.
No blame.

He hides weapons in the thicket
He climbs the high hill in front of it.
For three years he does not rise up.

He climbs up on the wall.
Good fortune.

Bound to union they first weep and lament.

But afterwards they laugh.

After great struggles they succeed in meeting.

Union with men in the suburbs.
No remorse.

Union with men finds love.

By ELLEN FLYNN

Speculation as to the fate of
parietals at Agnes Scott can now
come to an end. An answer has
come from an unusual yet time-
honored source. The "will of
Heaven" in this affair has been
revealed to Dr. Chang's 308
class. The students of Chinese
philosophy used the ancient art
of divination to determine the
outcome of this issue.

Divination involves the con-
struction of yin/yang hexagrams
through a series of six random
tosses. The result, being either
yin or yang, aid in the con-
struction of the hexagram. Ori-
ginally straws were used and re-
corded as either straight or
broken. However, in this case a
coin was used the method of
notation remaining the same,

straight and broken lines. The
hexagram resulting was

which when discovered among
the sixty-four possible hexa-
grams in the Ching or Book of
Changes, means T'ung J 'en or
Union of Men.

The interpretation of the
image and sign according to the /
Ching is recorded above. Perhaps
the freshmen will have cause for
celebration by the time they're
tired old Seniors. Maybe though
we should have Dick check it
out in Peking - just to make
sure we have the whole thing
perfectly clear.

Living South of the Border

Imagine spending 9 weeks in
Mexico. Sounds like an exciting
summer? It was for me, seeing
Mexico the "Experiment way."

The Experiment in Inter-
national Living was founded in
1932 by Dr. Donald Watt, with
the purpose of strengthening
international friendships by in-
troducing American teenagers to
teenagers and their families in
other lands. Last summer Exper-
imenters visited 36 countries in
Latin America, Durope, Asia and
Africa.

Before leaving the U.S., or
perhaps in the host country, the
Experimenter may or may not
study that country's language
for 2 weeks, depending on his
present fluency and language
requirements for his particular
Experiment. A short orientation

period follows, during which the his host country and her people

Experimenter ahd his group of
10-12 members utilize various
media and discussions to know
generally what to expect during
the summer, and to ease their
entry into the new culture and
hopefully minimize "culture
shock." Nevertheless, the Exper-
iment motto is "Expect the un-
expected." One quickly learns
the meaning of this aphorism.

Following orientation, Exper-
imenters on the regular Summer
Abroad program spend four
weeks with their "new" families;
this homestay is the heart of the
summer experience. During this
time, the Experimenter, as a
family "member", by talking
with his family and sharing in
their everyday lives, comes to
understand something of what

are all about, because he sees it
from the "inside," so to speak.

For a 1-2 week period follow-
ing the homestay, the Experi-
menter invites a member of his
new family to go along with his
group on an informal trip to
places of interest in the home
country, and if in Europe, per-
haps to several other countries as
well. Then the summer experi-
ence completed, the Experi-
menter returns homes, enthusias-
tically telling everyone who will
listen about his experiences.

As I said, the homestay is the
vital core of the experience.
Since I participated in the
Mexico work project instead of
the regular program, I lived with
two different families in Mexico

- one poor, the other middle-
class.

My stay with the David
Carmona family in the poor
rural village of Loma del Salitre
was definitely the most meaning-
ful of the two experiences for
me. My Experiment group's
work project there was to plant
trees in an area where trees had
been almost nonexistent. We
also assisted with family chores,
such as making tortillas, milking
the cow, and pulling weeds in
the cornfield. The seven girls in
the group could help a little to
build new cement-block houses
in the village, but the two boys
worked regularly on this.

We worked hard in Loma, but
the most valuable part of our
time was spent with our families

talking, playing with the chil-
dren, (there were 8 in my fam-
ily) singing, simply sharing life.
We had barely enough to eat and
the children all needed more
clothes (each had, at the most, 2
outfits) but the family was able
to keep going because of their

strong faith in God. The people
in Loma del Salitre work very
hard, but they don't go so fast
that they can't stop to take time
out to help a neighbor or visit a
friend. We were never on time to
any event, but we never wasted
time in getting ready. Life just
moves at a slower pace in
Mexico.

My experience with my
middle-class family in Aguas-
calientes was quite different.
Again, I stayed with a large fam-
ily (9 children this time). But
instead of four rooms and no
utilities, we had at least 20
rooms and excellent electricity
and plumbing. Also the family
employs two maids. At first I
was rather bored with nothing to
do but sleep late, get ready to go
somewhere, and the ride around
for hours in my sister's friend's
car. But soon I played more with
the younger children, went ex-
ploring the city with my 14 year
old brother, and accompanied
my mother to the market and
the grocery store.

The Garcia family was won-
derful to me and I came to be

very fond of them, but they had
nothing to do with the poorer
people of the city, except in
servile positions. They almost
wanted to pretend that the poor
did not exist. Class distinctions
are very rigid in Mexico, and the
more well-to-do people have a
certain contempt for the poor,
but the feeling, on the surface,
does not seem to be mutual.

Many writers say that Mexico
is a country of many contrasts.
This summer I experienced more
than two of those contrasts.
Mexicans are divided by class,
but united strongly by a com-
mon heritage which began with
the Chichimec and Mayan In-
dians thousands of years ago,
passes through the bloody Con-
quest, the fiery Wars of Inde-
pendence, the strong and evolv-
ing Revolution. Every Mexican,
no matter what his education,
has a basic knowledge of his
country's history. There are
"Many Mexico's" but they all
fuse into one. Trying to discover
what Mexico is all about is a fas-
cinating experience, especially
the Experiment Way.

menting this summer? Basic pro-
gram fees range from $590
(Mexico) to $1500 (Africa). The

Bryn Mawr College

Summer study in France or Spain

Bryn Mawr College is again spon-
soring two summer programs
abroad for men and women col-
lege students - one in Spain and
the other in southern France.
Both are directed by Bryn Mawr
professors, with faculties drawn
from universities and colleges in
this country and Europe.

The programs, offering inten-
sive work in significant aspects
of the culture of each country,
begin in mid-June and will con-
tinue for six weeks.

The Institue d'Etudes Fran-
caises in Avignon is now in its
eleventh year; the program is de-
signed primarily for those who
expect to engage in professional
careers requiring a knowledge of
France and French living.

The Spanish program, the
Centro de Estudios Hispanicos,
in Madrid, is now in its seventh
year; it integrates academic
study and immediate experience
through a unique combination
of course work, study excur-

sions, tutorials, independent
work and family living.

Students live and take their
meals with families living in
Madrid or Avignon. The residen-
tial plan was developed in order
to provide the best basis for flu-
ency in the language and for ac-
quiring a deeper knowledge of
the life and customs of the coun-
try.

Classroom work is supple-
mented with lectures given by
scholars in art, literature, history
and the social sciences. At the
end of the six weeks there is a
period pf free travel when stu-
dents may arrange practical pro-
jects in their own fields, parti-
cularly in art and archaeology.

A limited number of scholar-
ships are available for both pro-
grams. For information regard-
ing admission, write to the
Director of the Centro or the
Director of the Institut, at Bryn
Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Penn-
sylvania, 19010.

Donne Symposium to be held

Who would
when we were singing those
freshman orientation songs that
Agnes Scott really would make
us "intelligensia no matter
how dense we are"? But that is
precisely the metamorphosis
scheduled for the end of this
month.

From Feb. 24 - 25 Scott is
inaugurating the James Ross
McCain Lecture Series with the
Quartercentenary Celebration of
the Birth of John Donne. That
is, for two days Dr. Frank
Manley, Dr. Louis L. Martz, and
Dr. Patricia Pinka will be speak-
ing on John Donne. Sally
Martin, a Scott senior, will sing
lyrics by Donne, accompanied
by Mr. Lou Aull, a lutenist.

Dr. Frank Manley is a Profes-
sor of English at Emory Univer-
sity. He has edited John Donne:
The Anniversaries, George
Chapman's All Fools and is co-
editor and translator of Richard
Pace's, De Fructu qui ex Doc-
trina Percipitur. Dr. Louis L.

versity and is responsible for

have guessed Donne. He wrote The Poetry of

Education Dept.
put to the test

At the end of this month the
Georgia Department will send a
committee to evaluate Agnes
Scott's teacher education pro-
gram. The inspection, custom-
arily made every five years, de-
termines the program's suitabil-
ity for accreditation.

In preparation for the com-
mittee visit the Education
Department has submitted a
self-study report. This report
was based on consultations and
questionnaires of the faculty,
students, and recent graduates of
the program and on past reports.

The committee coming to
campus Feb. 28-Mar. 2 will be
headed by Associate Dean Dr.
Richard Barbe at the School of
Education at Georgia State Uni-
versity. The committee, will also
include specialists from the state
Department of Education and
from disciplines specifically in-
cluded in Scott's practice teach-
ing program.

The group will interview stu-
dents and administrators of the
program, and will perhaps visit

practice teaching classes.

In addition, the committee
will be checking to see that
accreditation criteria are being
met. They will also check the
quality of the education curric-
ulum in aspects general as well as
professional.

Curriculum offerings, library
and laboratory resources, admis-
sion to the practice teaching pro-
gram, administration of the
program, its support from the
college: all these will be evaluat-
ed.

Program accreditation is
necessary in order for a teacher
education program to be "state-
approved." An important fea-
ture of this status is that stu-
dents recommended for certifi-
cation by a state-approved pro-
gram will be automatically certi-
fied.

Agnes Scott's program has
been accredited for many years,
but until this committee visit,
Scott has been affiliated with
Emory's program. This will be
the first time Scott has been
accredited alone.

Meditation: A Study in English
Religious Literature of the 7 7th
Century.

Dr. Patricia Pinka is Assistant
Professor of English at Scott and
is in the process of preparing her
dissertation for publication:
"The Voices in John Donne's
Songs and Sonnets."

The purpose of the seminar is
to bring distinguished scholars to
the campus to let the students
learn how this kind of academic
process works. Scholars from all
over the country will be visiting
Scott for the lectures which have
been given wide publicity, being
listed in the Modern Language
Association and in various 17th
century publications.

Although it is unusual for an
undergraduate school to have
anything this scholarly, Mrs.
Pepperdene, Chairman of the
Department of English at Agnes
Scott, feels that this sort of
exposure is an essential part of
the intellectual environment the
college purports to foster. Essen-
tially the lectures are for the stu-
dents. There will be plenty of
time for informal questioning
and discussions by those inter-
ested.

This is an opportunity for
students to share in the critical
and scholarly atmosphere they
came to the college for. For
once the students will be admit-
ted to the inner realms of aca-
demia.

Little previous knowledge of
Donne is necessary to enjoy the
lectures. Mrs. Pepperdene insists
that the appreciation of poetry
gained from the freshman
courses is sufficient to under-
stand the seminars.

One of the unique aspects of
the James Ross McCain Lecture
Series is that all the lectures will
be published by the college. The
series will be a continuing event;
the college publishes each suc-
cessive group of lectures.

The English Department has
received invitations from other
journals to publish this partic-
ular lecture series. The college
will retain the honor, however.

The Vocational Office
and how it works

Are you thinking about work
when you graduate? Having
trouble deciding on a career?
Not sure about your major? Un-
sure of your decision and may
want to change your mind con-
cerning your future? If so, Agnes
Scott has a Vocational Office to
help you.

The Vocational Office, under
the control of Miss lone
Murphy, combines two major
purposes: those of vocational
counseling and job placement.

Vocational counseling is
actually a two way exchange
between the student and the
counselor. They together exam-
ine what has been done by the
student, his successes and his
failures, and relate them to what
interests him.

The counselor can sometimes
test the student and use the
results as a tool to help clarify
decisions by comparing the stu-
dent to others who are, and will
be competing against him in his
chosen field. There are many

from 8-5 in the Library and from 7:15 - 10 p.m. in
the dining hall.

By KAREN HALE

kinds of tests the counselor and
student can use: aptitude tests,
interest tests, personality tests,
temperment-attitude tests.

If you will need a job after
graduation, the Vocational
Office can also help you. How-
ever, the term "placement" in
the context of "job-getting" is
often misused and misunder-
stood. The Vocational Office
will not think of "placing" you
in a new job, but will simply
help you to get together with a
prospective employer.

Miss Murphy helps students
acquire part-time jobs, volunteer
iobs, and summer jobs. However,
there are not a lot of Scott girls
who want part-time work, as the
heavy academic program has a
tendency to discourage this.

The Vocational Office has
many requests for store workers
(especially around Christmas
time), tutors (people need tutors
for anyone from first graders to
college freshmen), and clerical
help. The Vocational Office
often cannot help the last em-
ployers, as Agnes Scott girls
usually are not proficient at
shorthand, or do not have the
ability to type the specified
word-per-minute rates.

The Vocational Office wants
to help you as a student. They
will help you to build the basis
for a choice concerning your
future, but not necessarily one
that will be permanent.

This year it was my class's turn to show its
parents what their daughters' school is like on any
ordinary weekend with a few hundred extra
visitors. My parents were especially impressed with
the prevailing neatness of surroundings and
wholesomeness of atmosphere, thanks to whom-
ever it was that decided that guided tours of
closets and drawers would not be on the agenda.

Thursday night was jammed with last-minute
preparations comparable to behind-the-scenes
activity at a grade-B bacchanalia. One shudders to
think what would happen if we tried anything
unusual.

Friday classes were a source of interest: "They
didn't teach us things like that when we were in
college." "Scott doesn't offer courses in alchemy
or astrology." "Maybe that's why. Do you always
take notes like that?" "No, I usually take them in
Chinese."

Spicing up life

Dear Student Body,

I, your editor, send greetings. Life has gotten
tiresome and I think amends should be made.
What do you think?

Priscilla wrote about college-exchange (see
article, page 3) where students go to another
school for their full junior year, for change of pace
and for widened academic opportunities. I myself
was away for a junior year and I know how valu-
able an experience "away" can be, not only for
personal experiences, academically and culturally,
but also in making the returning student a more
valuable member of the Agnes Scott community.

Winter quarter is a logical time for this to come
up, of course. The middle one of the three quar-
ters can seem so drab that any adventure looks like
a godsend. In fact several Scott students who are
practice teaching this quarter have raved about the
"break" that their new way of learning has given
them.

Until now I have straddled the fence regarding
Scott's future academic calendar. True to my
image as conservative editor of a right-wing college
newspaper I have taken no stand at all. Now I will
come one teeter closer to falling off the fence.

It looks to me as if now is image-changing time
for Agnes Scott. The Publicity office is putting
together a slide show that makes Scott look attrac-
tive and alive. The Admissions office is adding
staff and, through public relations, is working out-
wards more than it ever has. It looks as if Scott
won 't have to remain a perpetually self-generating,
word-of-mouth, send-ail-your-own daughters insti-
tution. Wonders never cease. The Admissions
office at Scott is branching out nobly. Our
assumption is that Agnes Scott has an academic
quality unique enough to warrant our preserving it
amid the current trends against small liberal arts
colleges.

Given that this is true, Scott needs to come to
grips with what many of us consider to be the
essential part of Scott's existence: the way Scott
matches and develops promising students with
top-notch courses and professors. Opportunity is
the key word.

Opportunity is key in many American colleges
and universities just now. The college-exchange
idea is just one example. The 4-1-4 is another.
College-exchanges have beauty in providing an air
of controlled flux on a small campus. They
encourage pursuit of interests not specifically part
of a school's own program, without sacrificing the
assurance of quality coursework. The open-ended
opportunity could be relief for the entire campus.

The same thing could come through the 4-1-4.
On this system colleges could exchange professors
for the short term, students could go elsewhere for
the term, projects could substitute for routine
courses.

As it stands now many students find the 15/16
hours they carry winter quarter lost to the frustra-
tion of a sandwich term too short to be satisfying
too long to be concentrated. My own J 6 hours are
discouraging for that very reason and it is not just
senior slump. It is the combination of winter
weather and walls and 9 uninspiring weeks of
routine.

I think the answer to winter quarter is the pro-
vision for a "break" like the ones practice teachers
are praising. Why not offer students a change of
pace without loss of academic impetus? Why not
work out exchange agreements? Why not embark
on adventurous January terms? Why wallow in
winter-quarter drudgery when we could polish off
some stars?

Why don't we just fall off the fence and quit
getting dizzy in the altitude?

GINNY SIMMONS, General Editor

Sophomore art work was featured in Dana:
"Did any of your friends paint anything in here?"
"My friend Irving painted the walls and ceiling."
"This is very nice, who did it?" "Rembrandt."
"Really?" "You met Rembrandt Murphy, didn't
you?"

The Psych Lab's equipment was puzzling at
first: "How do they get people into those little
boxes?""They use rats." "I won't ask where they
come from. Have they used any of this stuff on
you?" "Only the lie detector." "What did they
find out?" "Y'all messed me up whey I was a kid."

The folks were impressed with Solomon's
Temple: "That must have been a'beautiful build-
ing." "Yes, we liked it so much we're designing
our new gym just like it."

The Creative Arts Production that night was
appropriately relevant. The Hub party was even
more so, in spite of the fact that we couldn't have
a beer bust because it wouldn't havebeen typical.
(Of what?)

Saturday brought further enlightening experi-
ences. "You certainly have some interesting
friends. ""I knew you'd like them." (You should
see them when their parents aren't here.) "Why
can't you keep your room at home this clean?" "It
wouldn't be fair to my roommate to be a slob."
(She has a pathological fear of germs.) "I hope you
enjoy your classes as much as we did." "They're
O.K." (Sure we'd enjoy them if we didn't have to
study either.)

And as parents drive off into the sunset . . ."Do
you thing it's like that all the time?"

"Do you think we convinced them we're always
like this??"

Self -Study reminder!

Since mid-October each ol
the Self-Study committees has
spent many hours composing
questions for both a faculty
questionnaire and a student
questionnaire, which are to be
an important part of the Self-
Study. The questionnaires are
designed to elicit attitudes, judg-
ments, and opinions concerning
such things as the purpose of the
College, its organization and
administration, its educational
program, its financial resources,
its faculty, its library, its medical
services, its student counseling,
its food services, its physical
plant.

Once the separate committees
had produced the questions
which they considered most
important, the Steering Commit-
tee, in several long sessions, stud-
ied every single question, and
made a number of revisions.

Then we sought professional
advice from Dr. Fred Crawford,
Director of the Center for Re-

search in Social Change, at
Emory University. He read the
questionnaires and made sugges-
tions for further changes in the
formulation of questions. Once
more the questionnaires were
revised.

Then on Monday and Tues-
day, January 24 and 25, ten stu-
dents (Diane Gerstle, Debbie
Jordan, Edna Cary, Chris
Tankersley, Cherry Wood,
Frances Bryant, Harriet Fowler,
Linda Gullatte, Lynda McCray,
and Lynda Weizenecker) "pre-
tested" the questionnaire. After-
wards they gave useful advice,
which has now been incorporat-
ed into the final form of the
questionnaire.

It is very important that
every single student and every
member of the faculty respond
to the appropriate questionnaire.
Otherwise, the thrust of the
effort will be blunted, and the
interpretation of the results will
be difficult and unsure.

Colleges benefit from consortium

Going
down

the
staircase

By NANCY JONES

A sense of direction is an mine who
invaluable possession. Who is
better qualified to say than
someone who registers absolute
zero in that capacity? It was no
laughing matter my first day at
Scott when I completely lost
Winship for the third time. My
junior sponsor was really begin-
ning to wonder . . .Maybe that's
why my dad calls me The Navi-
gator.

Maybe that's also why he was
so gullible last year when I called
him (from two blocks away) to
say that I had driven to Chat-
tanooga some 200 miles in the
opposite direction by mistake.
With my roomate posing as the
long distance operator. I went
into a long song and dance about
the rainy weather and how my
four hours of driving had taken
me to Chattanooga jnstead of
home. Soon he was giving me
directions and sympathy and
was promising to tell my mom
not to hold supper for us. I was
laughing so hard, I finally had to
break down and tell him the
truth. %

My mom, my dad, and my
roomate thought it was hilar-
ious. I was insulted. It wasn't
that my dramatic performance
had been so polished but that
my stupidity was so believable!

Even as a kid, I thought that
North menat toward the sky.

Why me? My only consola-
tion is in the story of a friend of

drove 83 miles in
search of the Treasure Island
three miles away. (Do you know
how few people out in the sticks
of Georgia, have heard of Trea-
sure Island?)

Perhaps it's an asset to be
aware of your own liabilities.
But in this case, it's kind of like
the weather you can talk
about it all you please but you
can't'do much to change it.

Briar, Va., and Washington and
Lee University located in

The colleges, being fairly
equivalent in academic stan-
dards, agree to accept all the
credit hours awarded by another
school to a student on exchange.
Even if for example a student
takes a course in journalism
which may not even be offered
at his home school, he will still
receive credit for the course.

The requirements for the
major and for graduation have
not been altered at the individ-
ual schools. If the same course is
offered at the exchange school,
then the student's own school
will accept the course fulfilling
the requirement.

The colleges vary in their cal-
endar systems so that it is usual-
ly, although not always, neces-
sary to exchange for the whole
year.

The finances are arranged so
that the student pays his home
school the regular tuition, etc.,
that he would pay had he not
exchanged. In this way finances
do not become a factor. A stu-
dent would not pay more or less
just because he was attending
another school.

The advantages to such a
system are numerous and the
overall reaction has generally
been good. A wider range of
courses are available to the stu-
dent spending a year at another
school. Also one school may be
particularly strong in a certain
subject or field and the exchange
student can take advantage of
this unique opportunity.

The system serves to attract
new students to these schools.
Further such a program can
work to stop the flow of stu-
dents to co-educational institu-
tions. (No co-educational school

can claim a ratio of perhaps
some thirty girls to an entire
school-full of boys.)

However disadvantages also
exist. Women seem more willing
to attend a men's college than
the other way around. Also
some people having sampled life
at another school can grow very
dissatisfied with their own
school and are not happy to
return for their last year.

The reverse can happen as
well though, and a student can
come to value his own school
and his exchange school - both
can offer him much.

Blind dating
computer style

By KAREN HALE

Several weeks ago, the Emory
College Council sponsored a
date-night. This, although it may
sound normal, was quite out of
the ordinary. The dates were set
up by computer. Sixty couples
were matched. However, they
were lucky to have that since
only 15 girls originally answered
the questionnaire. The Council
(I would guess) started to panic
until they coerced a few more
girls to sign up.

Several Scotties attended.
Among those there, were: Karen
Adams, Janey Andrews, Allyson
Buzzini, Tammi DeVore, Sarah
Harrison, Page Lane, Vail Mac-
Beth, Fran Maguire, and Whit
Worman.

Sarah had mixed feelings
when her date didn't show. Fran
Maguire looked up at her date
and almost ran. Then he told her
he was not her date, and that
hers would be late. Fran breath-
ed a sigh of relief, and after her
real date showed up, she had a
pretty good time.

If Emory sponsors another,
they welcome all the Agnes
Scott girls v/ho may wish to par-
ticipate.

New procedure
for electing
dorm council

By ANN CH

You may have heard some talk
recently about the new Dorm
Council election procedures.
What are they and how will they
affect you? Here are some of the
specifics to answer these ques-
tions.

First, a candidate for Dorm
Council will follow the same pe-
tition procedures as usual, with
one very big exception. This
year she will declare her candi-
dacy for a specific dormitory
council. A list of candidates for
each dorm will be posted and
the student body will vote for
the appropriate number from
that list. Winners are guaranteed
room assignments in that speci-
fic dorm. Elections for Dorm
Council officers (president and
secretary) will follow this proce-
dure also.

Second, candidates for Dorm
Council in the cottages will not
run for a specific cottage. The
appropriate number shall be
voted from a general list of cot-
tage candidates, and only rising
juniors and seniors shall be eligi-
ble for those positions. The spe-

RISTENSEN

cific dorm hall or cottage to
which a person will be assigned
shall be decided by the new
council itself.

Thirdly, a person may only
be a candidate for the same
Dorm Council office in two dif-
ferent dorms. For example, she
may run for Dorm Council in
Hopkins and Winship, and also
for president of the cottages.
She may not run for Dorm
Council in Hopkins, Winship,
and the cottages.

Dorm Council members will
also have more vital responsibi-
lity next year. Instead of having
only the present judicial and ad-
ministrative duties, they will
serve as student advisors for
their hall. This will be their most
vital role in dormitories where
freshmen reside. In this new
capacity they will advise and
help freshmen throughout the
year with the various problems
and questions which always
arise. This promises to be the
most exciting and important role
for the Dorm Council member
on this campus.

Recruits in
veteran barracks

A joint committee of Interdorm
and Rep Council has been work-
ing since January to formulate
recommendations concerning
room assignments for next year.
The discussion was prompted by
the Dorm Council issue which in
turn questioned the validity of
an all-freshman dormitory. In
cooperation with Dean Jones,
this joint committee has devel-
oped the following recommenda-
tions to be presented for appro-
val to Dr. Alston and the entire
Dean's staff. The approval of
this proposal is dependent upon
several administrative factors
and a decision will be announced
immediately after spring break.

The major change under this
proposed plan centers around
the inclusion of freshmen in all
dormitories except Hopkins and
Main. Freshmen would be distri-
buted throughout the other
dormitories so that on no hall
would there be a very large or

very small number of freshmen.
This distribution would benefit
both upperclassmen and fresh-
men alike in helping to promote
more inter-class contact and rela-
tionships.

Although under this plan,
Main would essentially remain
the same, Hopkins would under-
go major changes. In addition to
being reserved for upperclass-
men, the dorm would be avail-
able if requested. Considering
the lay-out and location of Hop-
kins, this plan seems far superior
to the present system. The dorm
easily lends itself to the quiet
and privacy many upperclassmen
want. There is ample parking
space available and plans are
being considered for adding a
study area in the attic. In addi-
tion it will offer a good oppor-
tunity for a large group of
friends who want singles to stay
in an upperclassman dorm to-
gether.

Long-time librarian
Edna Hanley Byers dies

Funeral services were held in
Decatur Thursday, February 17,
for Edna Hanley Byers, long-
time librarian at Agnes Scott.
Mrs. Byers, 71 , had died on Wed-
nesday after an extended illness.

During her 37 years as head
librarian at Scott Mrs. Byers
helped move the library from
the Murphey Candler Building
(the Hub) to the McCain Library
where it now is; she also began
the Robert Frost and Scott
Memorabilia collections which
are now upstairs in the library.
The Frost collection, one of the
finest in the country, is known
as the Edna Hanley Byers Col-
lection in honor of the hours,
indeed years, Mrs. Byers devoted
to its development.

Mrs. Byers was one of the
most important figures in Scott's
history. When she came to Scott
in 1932 she intended to stay
only five years. At that time the
library was in the Hub. It con-
tained only 20,000 volumes and
subscribed to 100 periodicals.

A Profile article written in
May, 1969, quoted the fact that
in 1932 there were two libra-
rians whose combined salaries
were $3500. The librarians had
then only another $3500 to
spend on books.

By the time Mrs. Byers re-
tired in June, 1969, the big
McCain Library contained

115,000 volumes and subscribed
to more than 600 periodicals.

Mrs. Byers, who had studied
under the originator of library-
building studies, was instrumen-
tal in helping design the McCain
Library, which opened in 1937.
She planned seating and book
space, was concerned about the
problem of lighting in a Gothic-
styled building. But with But-
trick and the gym on either side
of the library "it was Gothic or
nothing," as Mrs. Byers explain-
ed in 1969. Flourescent lighting
eventually helped solve the light-
ing problem.

One of Mrs. Byers most signi-
ficant legacies from her years at
Scott is the invaluable Frost col-
lection. During the 20 visits
Robert Frost made to the Scott
campus before his death in
1963, Mrs. Byers became what
Frost called "my faithful friend

and indefatigable collector."

The amazing collection now
in the Scott library includes first
editions of the poet's books,
holograph copies of his poems,
some written especially for the
Agnes Scott collection, period-
icals, anthologies, translations,
Christmas cards, tapes, records,
and films, and keepsakes, and
other collector's items.

Mrs. Byers was highly regard-
ed in her field. She was a Carne-
gie Fellow, wrote a book enti-
tled College and University Li-
brary Buildings which was the
first such book to include illus-
trative floorplans.

Mrs. Byers also served as con-
sultant to several liberal arts col-
leges who were building libraries.
She was listed in Who's Who in
America and served in various
positions on many library asso-
ciations.

Seminar on Sex

Next quarter, BSA is sponsoring
a three session "Seminar on Sex:
the ethical, medical, and psycho-
logical point of view." The semi-
nar will be held on the Wednes-
day nights of March 22, March
29, and April 5.

The three speakers will be the
gynocologist Dr. Armand Hen-

dee, the psychologists Doctors
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Dreg, and Mr.
Larry Green from the First
Methodist Church of Decatur.

In order for the groups to be
small, the student body will be
divided into three groups and
each will hear a different one of
these three speakers each week.

DC: importance spelled out

To the Editor:

We, the members of the Joint
Committee assigned to investi-
gate Dormitory Council, during
our work have become quite ex-
cited about the proposals we've
put forth for Dormitory Council
elections. We would like to take
this opportunity to encourage
anyone interested in working for
the campus community to run
for an office on Dormitory
Council. The position has several
added attractions for the coming
year. With the new election pro-
cedure, the people elected to

learning

An important aspect of learning, of taking hold of the scope you, as
an individual, have been developing as you learn, is the opportunity
to create. This quarter many of us saw the student-directed one-act
plays here at Scott. Perhaps more than one of us envied the adven-
ture the student directors undertook in selecting one play from hun-
dreds read, envisioning that play on a stage with actors, costumes,
music and audience, and then actually putting their visions into the
programs which were handed out at the door of the Dana theater.

My awed realization was that there is a vast difference between
reading plays, studying them, acting in them, helping build sets or
make costumes for them, and doing all these things at once in order
to make one specific play, your own play, come alive before an
audience. It was with definite awe that I watched Scott drama stu-
dents do it this quarter. For after studying the aspects of theater for
three years the student- directors suddenly had to do it themselves;
from choosing and interpreting the play, to casting, blocking, direct-
ing and putting it together.

They must have lived at times under the awful thought that the
"learning" of an art is incidental to the execution of it. In this case,
the test of learning came not at exam time, but at the moment of
the curtain.

This is not an experience limited to drama students. Art students
put their ideas and developing dreams to practice in their labs, as do
some science students, and some of the students doing independent
study.

However, the requirements of our liberal arts education do not
include creativity. In fact, looking at course requirements and hours
requirements, I am inclined to believe that creativity is not so very
encouraged here at Scott. Far too many of our courses are built on
foundations of outside readings and pre-determined critical assign-
ments for them to allow for a creative approach to learning.

Scott's theory is, I suppose, that the students of this institution
will emerge from their barrage of course requirements ready to face
life, to fully implement the invaluable tools of their liberal arts
education, to develop their potential as human beings (women).

Nonetheless, there is something beautiful, remarkable even, in
having tried these things right here at college. The student directors
are going to graduate with unique assurance behind them, with a
feeling for the wholeness of the dramatic venture, with a sense of
self-confidence in their own field that some of the rest of us will not
have.

The awe I felt for the one-acts this quarter was largely reaction
from feelings of impatience and stagnation. I have wanted to read
and do things while I had the resources to do them. However, my
chance to explore in the shelter of the McCain Library is nearly
gone, and I feel as if I had never had the chance to do what I had
needed to do. Alas, woe is me, I missed my chance.

But the woeful point is that I think I am speaking for much of
the student body who would be eager to do more creative learning,
who would welcome the opportunity to explore the library, the lab
and the community at large. Class-learning could be easily balanced,
developed and given values by creative worldly endeavor. Undoubt-
edly much of it will otherwise be lost.

It is a shame that Scott, with the resources at hand, with the
students under foot (so to speak), with education at heart, has not
lumped at creative learning before now. Surely the eagerness for it is
not developing in the throes of women 's lib. Anyway, as long as it is
here, we might as well use it.

Dormitory Council will no
longer be in doubt about their
resident assignments. Further-
more, the new policy has dis-
pensed with class stipulation so
that interested persons will not
be limited by a specific repre-
sentation from their class.

Finally, the duties of Dormi-
tory Council have been set forth
as the following: 1. To serve as
student advisors; 2. To serve as a
liaison between students and
members of the dean's staff; 3.
To coordinate the activities of
the residential unit.

As it now stands, the position
affords the opportunity for a
member of Dormitory Council
to serve in very vital areas within
the Dorm. The responsibility for
counselling will be of greater im-
portance throughtout the cam-
pus due to the proposed disper-
sal of freshmen in all dormitories
except Main and Hopkins.

plea for freedom

In addition, as the Dormitory
Council is to work to coordinate
activities, the members will be
free to work toward that goal in
whatever way they see fit and by
so doing act as a unifying force
within their residence.

The responsibilities are im-
portant ones, but flexible in that
the individual can execute them
in a manner she feels will be
most effective. Dormitory Coun-
cil has been deemed a vital part
of the campus organization and
so deserves the attention of
interested students who feel that
they have the initiative and cre-
ativity to serve in the position of
leadership within their dormi-
tories that Dormitory Council
affords them.

To the Editor:

For those who review the an-
swers of the self-study question-
naire and who many regard the
consistent reply "discontinue
the requirement altogether" as
the cry of the angry rebellious
students, I would like to offer a
justification. Members of the fa-
culty and administration may
feel, as many students do, that
Scott would not be a liberal arts
institution were it not to have
basic requirements. I do not
agree. If students would not
choose a well-rounded course of
studies without being required
to do so, then they are being
forced into the liberal arts pro-
gram. And such should not be
the case for students who have
chosen to come to a liberal arts
college.

I find that the present system
of basic requirements and group
requirements may well serve the

ideal of a liberal arts curriculum,
but it does not foster the devel-
opments of a liberal arts atti-
tude. Too many students resent
the requirements and take them
their freshmen year to get them
out of the way.

Is this a healthy attitude
toward learning? Is this a way to
begin the pursuit of the liberal
arts degree? What little is learned
when the students resent taking
the course is soon forgotten.

I would like to see complete
freedom allowed in the selection
of courses. And I would like to
think that the freedom would
engender in a student a liberal
arts attitude, that is to say, a de-
sire to delve into as many sub-
jects as possible with the goal of
getting involved in them and en--
joying them.

from the editor

Well, ten issues ago I introduced myself as General Editor of the
Profile. Since then, with the other two thirds of the Profile Trium-
virate, I have attempted to inform the campus accurately and exten-
sively, to analyze situations fairly, to interest, stimulate, and/or
amuse readers on a modest scale.

I have felt that if the six pages of the Profile could chart the news
and issues of our own school, then our energies, attentions, and
confusions could be directed into excitement with the outside
world.

Admittedly it was an experiment from the start. Now that the
experiment has been completed and some of the results have come
in, I can conclude, on one count at least, that I am almost as
pleased as I am exhausted.

A newspaper needs a staff that will come eager and concerned.
Profile has had such this year. It also needs a campus community
which will read and react. Amazingly enough I think Scott has done
that too.

So I've done my share. With at thank-you to staff and campus for
this busy senior year, I give up my position of great authority. Mind
you, there are some good newspaper people left behind me, and I
leave you to their mercy, they to yours: Good luck.

light of the recent focus on Roving Saturdays. His Roving

the 4-1-4, I offer still another al-
ternative for purposes of allevia-
ting the winter quarter blahs. My
roommate and I arrived at this
idea our sophomore year but
failed to go through the proper
channels. Now, perhaps, is the
time to make it known.

Reg Murphy recently said in
the Constitution that February,
which passes unloved and un-
mourned, is to be endured. I
propose instead that February
be completely discarded. (Since
Lincoln's and Washington's
birthdays are presently subject
to change, they may as well be
celebrated in March.)

Naturally, a question arises
concerning the excess days. The
best of all possible plans seems
to be one in which six days are
tacked onto the year between
Christmas and New Year's Day.
The remaining twenty-two days
can be evenly distributed over
the other eleven months.

The manner of their distribu-
tion, however, poses a problem.
In an effort not to make these
months too drawn out and drag-
gy, the idea of having Roving
Saturdays seems to be an agree-
able solution. At any time dur-
ing the month, a person would
be allowed to insert his own two

Overheard

Distinguished economics profes-
sor speaks through his pipe:
Agnes Scott students can choose
between dating Georgia Tech
computers or Emory fairies.

Over dinner: I've had three nico-
tine fits this quarter and I've
never smoked a cigarette in my
life.

In Convocation: Some students
practise abstention as an effec-
tive method of family planning.

What we need is a black cat can-
didate coming up through the
ranks.

Educational policy: The mind
can only absorb what the seat
can endure.

Saturdays need not coincide
with those of anyone else; each
individual would have complete
freedom of choice in the matter.
In this way, each of the eleven
months would have their regular
thirty or thirty-one days plus
those two additional Roving
Saturdays.

This proposal, I feel, would
do much for the morale at Scott.
No more of idle talk - FOR-
SAKE FEBRUARY. Rise up for
Roving Saturdays and write your
congressman.

PERSPECTIVE

Mary Baldwin College, located in
Staunton, Va., is presently inves-
tigating an exchange program be-
tween itself and six predomi-
nantly Negro colleges of the
Atlanta University System. The
program would enable students
from Mary Baldwin to spend a
semester or a year studying at
the Atlanta schools and vice
versa. The possiblity of an ex-
change of faculty members may
also be arranged.

The program would initially
be between Mary Baldwin and
Spelman College, as they are
both women's schools. A stu-
dent living on the Spelman cam-
pus could attend classes at any
of the other colleges involved in
the program however. Along
with Spelman, the Atlanta
schools include Morehouse Col-
lege, Morris Brown, Clark Col-
lege, Atlanta University and
Interdenominational Theological

Busing out all over

To bus or not to
seems to be THE BURNING
QUESTION. Of course our
neighbor George Wallace leads
the anti-busing forces. Fifth Dis-
trict Congressman Fletcher
Thompson, Republican contend-
er for David Gambrell's seat in
1972, recently made political
hay out of Augusta, Georgia's
busing difficulties. He supported
a one-day school boycott there
in protest of busing orders and is
backing a proposed statewide
boycott for February 28. Ron-
nie Thompson, Macon's reac-
tionary mayor-in-residence, also
supports such a boycott.

Governor Carter would re-
commend the boycott "as a last
resort" or a constitutional
amendment to prohibit the as-
signing of children to a parti-
cular school on account of their
race, creed or color. Senators
Gambrell and Talmadge oppose
"busing to achieve racial ba-
lance." Talmadge has proposed
his own constitutional amend-
ment to remedy the situation.
Even George McGovern, one of
the more liberal of the Demo-
cratic Presidential hopefuls, is
seriously examining his pro-
busing stand.

The basic question underlying
all the controversy since the
1954 Supreme Court decision,
which stated that "separate edu-
cational facilities are inherently
unequal" is: How can we pro-
vide equal educational oppor-

bus that tunities for every child? Integra-
tion of the schools has proved to
be no cure-all for the inequalities
perpetuated by 1 00 years of seg-
regated education. "Busing to
achieve racial balance" just for
the sake of racial balance is no
guarantee that the quality of in-
struction or the learning atmos-
phere will automatically im-
prove.

Forced busing is a result of
many circumstances. For ex-
ample, rich suburbanites pay
more property taxes, so their
children have better quality
school facilities and they can af-
ford to offer higher salary sup-
plements to attract a larger per-
centage of the better teachers.
American cities generally have
segregated housing patterns; seg-
regated neighborhood schools
are inevitable. Racism which be-
gan the "separate but equal"
philosophy lives on.

Education needs restructuring
at the grass-roots level if it is to
be effective and "accountable."
Instead of hiring countless reme-
dial reading teachers, why not
lower the pupil-teacher ratio in
the early grades to 1 5:1 , or less?
Go ahead and institute an early
childhood development and edu-
cation program? Attract a great-
er number of superior educators
into the profession by paying
substantially higher salaries? Re-
write or revise the elementary
textbooks for urban schools to
meet the needs of urban chil-
dren, whose experiences are vast-
ly different from those of the
white suburban or rural child?

Busing, in some instances,
hinders more than helps the edu-
cational process. Where learning
is stifled, we must find different
or modified methods of achie-
ving equal educational oppor-
tunities for all children, regard-
less of their race, creed, color, or
national origin.

Seminary.

The advantages of such a pro-
gram are numerous. Students
would be given an opportunity
to experience a social and cul-
tural environment entirely dif-
ferent from that at the home
school. The range of course se-
lections would be wider and em-
phasizing different areas. The
Atlanta schools for example
offer Afro-American studies,
Russian, Chinese and African,

while Mary Baldwin has no such
offerings.

The tuition would be the
same as that paid to the home
school and the credits would be
transferred.

The program was initiated by
Mr. William W. Kelly, president
of Mary Baldwin, Mr. Hugh
Gloster, president of Morehouse
and Mr. Albert Manlez, president
of Spelman.

Apartment fever

By DEBBIE JORDAN

While browsing in Dana recently,
casting covetous glances on the
batiks, pottery, and wire sculp-
ture, I realized that once again
father knows best. During
Christmas, one of those long-
awaited and disappointingly bor-
ing vacations, I had several (to
put it mildly) run-ins with my
mother about the most trivial
things, including such choice
complaints as: "Why don't you
get the chairs covered? "Why
not leave the dishes until tomor-
row morning they won't run
away?" and "I don't care if
beige is functional it's just too
drab!"

After one well-aimed barb
that blew up to the proportions
of a firery Maddox-Carter de-
bate, Daddy, much to my infuri-
ation, patted my head saying,
"Cool down, little woman! It's
not your house!" Feeling not
only put down but put off, I re-
treated to the piano bench (my
very own personal property) to
wait out the duration.

Back at Scott in my tacky
red, white and blue stand-up-
and-salute-the-flag room, I rea-
lized that I was suddenly reading
ads from Rich's Store for Homes
instead of Ann Landers. So that
was it - AN APARTMENT

I tried valiantly to establish
an image swinging single, dedi-
cated career woman, conserva-
tive independent, young Demo-
crat . . . Naturally color schemes
to fit each different mood
whirled in my daydream. The
ocean of varicolored price tags
merely reflected the story of my
life, champagne taste and a beer
budget (not even imported
beer!).

And then I put on my tor-
toise-rimmed unrosy glasses and
realized that I was about five
years ahead of myself. NUMBER
ONE PROBLEM - no money,
no job, and no prospects. "Self,"
said I, "hopefully you'll be at
graduate school next year and
you don't even know where. Be-
sides who would want to share
an apartment with you after
three years in an Agnes Scott
single. They do weird things to a
person. Look, you're even talk-
ing to yourself. Don't forget

buy anything red, white and

Thunderous reception for Applause

Applause opened at the Civic Center on
February 8 and ran for six days. The musi-
cal, based on the film All About Eve, recei-
ved the 1970 Tony Award for the Best Musi-
cal with Lauren Bacall receiving the Tony
for the Best Musical Actress.

As the theatre star whose professional
and private lives are jeopardized by a decep-
tively naive young actress, Lauren Bacall was
superb. The role fit her like a glove. Her
voice, comparable to an on-key foghorn,
dominated the production as did her overall
performance. But that very bizarre and
seemingly disturbing quality served merely
to accentuate the power, vitality and larger-
than-life personality of her role. Although
certainly not pretty, her voice did have
"star" quality, and the true beauty of the
unique and unforgettable.

The story is classic Broadway - unknown
understudy moves up and over to the top.
But this is a Cinderella story told from the

By JODY HOPWOOD

viewpoint of the lady who was the princess
before Cinderella was even a nobody. Re-
freshingly cynical about show business, it
does not treat Cinderella's method of obtain-
ing the glass slipper of success too kindly.
Still, it does for the most part adhere to
everyone's idealized version of what show
business should be.

Even the best shows are entitled to a few
weaknesses. In Applause it is the music.
While not unpleasant, it lacks the ability to
stimulate action or audience reaction. The
lyrics are more lively than the score, how-
ever, and serve as an integral part of the dia-
logue. The choreography helps by keeping
Miss Bacall in the spotlight and aiding in the
unfolding of the action before the audience.

Don Chastain, as the wonder-boy direc-
tor, gave a fine, though at times stilted, per-
formance in the male lead. His voice, how-
ever, proved a real asset. It was exceptional
and far surpassed his acting ability.

Virginia Sandifur, as the manipulating
Cinderella, Eve Harrington, emerged more as
a pansy unexpectedly blooming in early win-
ter than a kitten changed into a tiger. She
never effectively conveyed the subtle split
between her two personalities the efficient
and sweet Eve hiding the hard-headed bitch
determined to get ahead no matter what.

Just a short note on Leland Palmer, a sup-
porting character who proved to be a real
scene-stealer. As the relatively unimportant
lead gypsy,- her versatility came through par-
ticularly in two numbers: "Applause" and
"She's No Longer A Gypsy."

In retrospect, the cast as a whole was
good. The production proved glossy and pro-
fessional, and the sets and technical aspects
were handled extremely well. But it was Miss
Bacall's night. Applause was an excellent
title choice, for both she and the musical
deserve it.

Due to certain international
trade agreements, his recordings
were not widely distributed in
this country, but rather to other
members of the British Com-
monwealth. As he now records
for Warner Brothers, we will
hopefully be hearing more from
him.

Enlarging his own repetoire
with songs by Kristofferson
his rendition of "ME and Bobby
McGee" is one of the best on
record - Cohen, Hardin, Seeger
and other contemporaries, he
makes them all his own. He has a
unique ability to communicate
personally with the audience.
Each song is directed at you in-
dividually - engaging your inter-
est, attention, and requiring
your response. He can thus es-
tablish inter- personal communi-
cation in a large concert hall, or
through the impersonal medium
of the stereo or radio.

He is both a musician's musi-
cian highly respected by his
peers and a popular perform-
er. His understanding of his
music is so complete, and his
evaluation of his own capacity
so honest that he can afford to
be flexible. A perfectionist in re-
hearsal, he makes you sing better
by adapting to you. You become
one and the same and feel that
you could, in all probability,
sing your way out of the "jaws
of death." In performing, these
"jaws" are most usually an un-
sympathetic audience, and I
have never yet seen him fail.

I hope that he will return
soon, and that many others will
have the opportunity of assisting
at one of his performances. I
also hope that I may again sing
with him. If not I'll have to con-
tent myself with his recordings

from the real thing. May you do
the same.

Election, election,read all about it

Inside this Profile you will find a series of questions that
were directed to the candidates for all major offices. The
questions, the answers, and pictures of the candidates
are provided in order to help the voting student body
have some idea of the stands that the candidates take on
current issues at ASC. You, the voter, are urged to look
through these and consider what effect the vote you cast
will have on campus life next year.

Likewise, you should be at the Hub tonight at 6:45
when the candidates for the leadership of AA, CA, So-
cial Council, Orientation Council and Interdorm, will
speak. All major candidates will be present; the student
body will be allowed to direct questions to any of them.
Refreshments will be served.

Speeches of the candidates for Student Government
Association president and for chairman of the Board of
Student Activities will speak in Convocation tomorrow.

Through all this the student body should have the
makings of well-informed, firmly grounded votes in the
student government elections this year. Profile (and the
candidates, no doubt) urges you to be in Gaines for the
voting on Thursday night.

Following the voting, there will be a Hub party with
refreshments and fun while ballots are counted. Election
results will be announced at the Hub party.

Machines cause
excitement

At the end of last quarter,
Virginia Uhl and Helen Webb,
out-going Social Council poten-
tates, had a long discussion with
Dr. Alston about campus needs
and their personal dreams for
Scott.

As a result Dr. Alston called
Miss Jones, Dean of Students,
Mr. Hannah, college treasurer,
Mr. Saxon, business manager,
and Miss Bond, college admini-
strator and advisor to Social
Council, into conference.

Subsequent investigation pro-
duced the ARA, a national vend-
ing company, which has installed
an experimental food center in
the Hub.

ARA owns and services the

machines and runs the center,
coming every day to restock and
check up. The college has paid
nothing and has assumed no re-
sponsibility for the center.

If the experiment is success-
ful this quarter ARA may ex-
pand the center next year. As
Dr. Alston says, "the only thing
that will kill it is neglect."

Also in the Hub is a new
color TV strategically placed to
the left as you walk in the door.

The TV, the buzzing ma-
chine, and the activity on the
sundeck (which will open as
soon as an outside fire escape
ordered by the Fire Marshall is
installed) will make this a busy
spring for the Hub.

Dr. Ned Moomaw and Mr. David
Orr, assistant professors in Politi-
cal Science, are working with the
Political Science Department at
Georgia Tech in hopes of begin-
ning a joint exchange with Tech
next fall. The exchange would
mean that courses could be
offered for Scott and Tech stu-
dents on both campuses in alter-
nating quarters.

This is one among several
plans involved in the current re-
structuring of the Political
Science curriculum at Scott, as
Political Science anticipates be-
coming a department in its own
right. At present Political
Science is a division of the His-
tory and Political Science De-
partment.

Already a separate major in
Political Science is available to
Scott students.

The official split may have to
wait until Political Science can
get a third professor, perhaps
specializing in Urban Studies.
Meanwhile projected structural
changes in the department in-
clude opportunities for travel, an
expansion of curriculum through
widened course variety here or
elsewhere and in project work,
and through increased contact
with people now in government
work.

Off-campus opportunities for
study and work are various, al-
though, Mr. Orr points out, it

will not be a case of: "major in
political science and see the
world." However, with a small
department which is "easily
adapted to off-campus experi-
ence by the very nature of what
is taught," it is unreasonable to
limit students to work under
"two men with a blackboard."

In addition to the proposed
exchange with Tech, our Politi-
cal Science Department is affilia-
ted with Drew University in New
York City and with the London
Semester program in the school
of economics in London. Drew
University offers a semester of
course-work at the United
Nations building.

Beginning next spring Scott

will also be sending as many as
five students to the week-long
UN conference in New York,
and will possibly be included in
the Washington Semester pro-
gram as well.

Here in Atlanta, Political
Science students can participate
in the legislative internship pro-
gram offered each winter quar-
ter. There are three important
annual conferences held here as
well, among them the Forum of
National and International
Affairs sponsored by the State
Department. These conferences
are available to Scott students
and are opportunities that can
expand our curriculum signifi-
cantly.

May Sarton teaches

By CINDY HARVEY

The English Department of
Agnes Scott that was visited by
Robert Frost, this quarter boasts
another well-known visiting
writer: Miss May Sarton. Teach-
ing creative writing classes here
this quarter, she herself writes
novels, short stories and poetry.
Her autobiography is / Knew a
Phoenix.

Born on May 3, 1912, in
Wondelgen, Belguim, she grew
up in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
attending Shady Hills School.
Her father, George Sarton,
taught at Harvard.

Politics pervades campus: Muskie man

Peter Hoover, state youth coor-
dinator for Senator Muskie, re-
cently spoke to the Agnes Scott
Young Democrats about the
Senator's primary campaign and
the role college youth can ex-
pect to play in the coming elec-
tions.

He said that Muskie had
taken an active part in the south-

By LINDA

em primaries because ot a com-
mitment to an overall national
policy rather than concentration
in a few big states. Peter ar-
ranged support for Kay Pinck-
ney, who ran for a delegate seat
in the state Democratic con-
vention.

Peter has worked in cam-
paigns for Senators Brewster and

PARSONS

lydings of Maryland, and for
Humphrey in 1968. As youth
coordinator for Muskie, he has
been responsible for initiating
campaigns on campuses in sev-
eral states.

A typical day in Atlanta in-
cluded breakfast strategy meet-
ings, morning conferences with

local political leaders, extensive
afternoon meetings, phone calls
and visits to Muskie supporters
at area schools, evening discuss-
ions with students at Manuel's
Tavern.

After the Democratic primary
on March 1 1th, Peter planned to
organize a Muskie campaign in
North Carolina.

She went into the theater be-
fore sne took up writing. A few
of her poetry books are: Inner
Landscape (1939), The Lion and
the Rose (1948), The Land of
Silence (1953), A Private My-
thology (1966). Two of her
more recent books are Plant
Dreaming Deep (1968) and
Kinds of Love. (Some of these
may be found in the ASC libra-
ry.)

Her home now is in the coun-
try in Munsonville, New Hamp-
shire. Occasionally she gives lec-
tures and public readings. At
Harvard, University of Chicago,
University of Iowa and other
universities she has lectured. She
has taught at Wellesley.

In 1958 she came to Agnes
Scott as Phi Beta Kappa lecturer.
This spring she will again be in-
volved in special sessions to dis-
cuss creative writing.

She has been recognized with
reception of the Golden Rose
for poetry in 1945 and she is a
member of the Northeastern
Poetry Society. It is an honor to
have Miss Sarton on campus for
the quarter.

hot dog!

A sincere thank you is due to the Hub's new "interior decorator. "
Since the early part of this year and even before, many students have
been concerned because of the lack of activity in the Hub. Only with
the arrival of the cadets did its walls contain much excitement.

The Hub potentially could bind the student body together and
provide a place for fellowship and relaxation. Yet the Murphey Cand-
ler Building formerly was used hardly at all. The building echoed
with emptiness during the first two quarters. Even the Hub parties
had little attendance.

It was therefore with great excitement and some jubilation that
the students greeted the recent additions to the Hub. The color TV
and the mini "Automat" along the back wall should attract many
more students and encourage greater use of the building. The entire
atmosphere seems to have changed with these innovations.

Of course it is not necessary that the building be filled with
people all the time! The point is not for the Hub to be crowded as
much as it is to be enjoyed. The Hub is available for students to use
in their leisure time, and with the added features, perhaps the Hub
can better meet this need. And of course if every night the entire
student body is found glued to the television set muching hambur-
gers and pastries, no one should be surprised after all, this is spring
quarter.

EDITORIAL STAFF

Profile rebuked

To the Editor:

I was asked to write a review of
"Applause," which I did and do
acknowledge, but certainly not
the one that appeared in the
March 2, 1972 issue of the Pro-
file. Having accepted this assign-
ment, I seriously attempted to
write a proper theater review. I
turned to the New York Times
and the New Yorker, the leading
publications of literary and dra-
matic criticism, to learn the pro-
per style of the professional
journalist. Therefore, I do not
wish to take credit for this arti-
cle, "Thunderous Reception for
'Applause'/' which appeared un-
der my name in the last issue,
completely changing my mean-
ing and style.

My article was transformed
from a fairly well written theater
reveiw into a poor attempt at an
English critique. Taking mv
opinions and my ideas, one of
your staff transformed my re-
view into a very poorly written
essay full of outworn cliches, im-
mature descriptions, and inap-
propriate vocabulary. For exam-
ple, "the role fit her like a
glove," and "glossy and pro-
fessional." In addition, my gram-
mar, following the format of a
theater criticism, was perhaps

unusual in its incomplete sen-
tences and sarcasm, but this is
what I intended. Unfortunately,
with these changes, my review,
which gave a definite impression,
became a mediocre essay in its
transformation.

My meager attempt at a re-
view may be judged by anyone,
but not tampered with and
changed in order to come down
to the quality of work printed in
this publication. If this is a pol-
icy of the Profile, then I wish to
forewarn any prospective contri-
butors. My permission was never
given to change and "better" my
review of "Applause." If my re-
view was not adequate for this
newspaper, then it never should
have been printed, in any form.
After reading this "touch-up"
(or "rehaul" is probably a better
term), I was mortified to find
my name attached to it. Unfor-
tunately, my aim a good re-
view - was totally lost in your
pitiful effort.

MACKENZIE, SMITH

BARTLETT, SWANN

FOLTZ

1. What is Agnes Scott College for its students? How
does the Student Government Association affect a stu-
dent's life here? What relationship and interaction exist
between the SGA and Rep Council?

BARTLETT: To answer what Agnes Scott is for its stu-
dents is almost impossible because it seems to require a
generality that, in my opinion, does not exist in a college,
where student attitudes vary so much. Agnes Scott is a
personal college and this fact is responsible for the dif-
ferent opinions. There are numerous interactions be-
tween the student, her friends, her teachers, and the
administration that are not to be found at larger com-
puter controlled institutions. What Agnes Scott means
for each student is derived from the outcome of these
interactions.

SGA and Rep Council work very closely together but
I think SGA's role extends far beyond its relationship
with the legislature. SGA should be responsible for
bringing in new ideas and keeping students informed.

FOLTZ: Agnes Scott College if it lives up to its purpose
provides liberal arts curriculum, academic excellence,
and individual development in a Christian context for all
its students. The student government association affects
a student's life only to the extent to which the indivi-
dual student chooses to become involved. Relationship
and interaction are always encouraged, but a greater de-
gree of openess is needed in achieving relevant goals.

MACKENZIE: Agnes Scott is a community concerned
with the education and well-being of its members. Out
of a respect for students and a desire to let them govern
the community in which they live, the college has given
the students the responsibility of self-government
through the Student Government Association. Rep
Council is one of the principal organizations of the SGA
and is concerned with helping SGA function as smoothly
as possible to the benefit of the community as a whole.

SMITH: Agnes Scott College is an institution with high
academic standards. More importantly, the college is its
own community of students who are living, working,
learning, and sharing together. The students are the SGA
at Agnes Scott. They make it what it is by their election
of enthusiastic and imaginative leaders and their contin-
ued support of SGA functions. Representative Council
should be mindful of concersn of students (i.e., SGA)
and endeavor to carry out the wishes of the students.

SWANN: Increasingly, as students interests become fo-
cused off-campus, Agnes Scott is an academic commun-
ity. SGA, while it holds power to alter the structure in
which students live, affects students' lives only peri-
pherally. Rep and various boards composing SGA, while
operating within separate domains have no individual
interests but exist to serve the best interests of the cam-
pus. Therefore, Rep can function only in close com-
munication and cooperation with all the boards.

2. Constitutionally, legislative power is initially vested in
Rep Council, but is finally vested in the student body.
To what extent should the student body be involved in
legislation? Are there any areas which should be handled
directly by the student body?

BARTLETT: Students shoould be much involved in
legislation on major issues (by a general vote) such as
controversial budget appropriations. With the exception
of this general vote the student body whould voice its
opinions through Rep Council.

FOLTZ: The student body should have input on all
legislation by letting its elected representatives know its
views. The elected representatives also have an obligation
to seek out student opinion. In situations where there is
widespread student disagreement referendums should be
encouraged to present Rep Council with the campus-
wide opinion.

MACKENZIE: Rep members are elected by the student
body to represent them in decision-making. Due to the
amount of study and discussion involved in most deci-
sions, I feel that legislation can be carried out more accu-

(Continued on page 3)

PROFILE /March 28, 1972

rately and efficiently by this chosen council rather than
by the student body as a whole. For this reason, legisla-
tive power should remain principally in Rep Council.
However, any decision of Rep can be over-ridden by a
vote of SGA.

SMITH: The members of Rep are elected by their class-
mates who have put confidence and trust in the mem-
bers' actions on the board. But, this doesn't mean to say
that the student body should not be consulted. A good
Rep member will seek the opinions and advice of her
classmates and friends, and will base her decision upon
this information. In addition, interested members of the
student body should make their opinions known, either
by attending Rep meetings or by talking with members
of Rep.

SWANN: Elected by students, Rep members should de-
cide questions in all areas. Providing Rep members are
receptive, students should involve themselves in legisla-
tion by making their ideas known.

3. What is your position on the state of widespread
apathy on the campus? Do you intend to stir up dissen-
sion? How would you ferret out all strands of student
opinion? How do you plan to communicate with a non-
responsive student body?

BARTLETT: I think apathy on this campus is a matter
of tradition. The problem lies in the fact that the stu-
dent body has not been adequately informed about
major issues, community projects, and the ways in which
can be approached. The interested student feels alone in
her interest. SGA should make an effort to coordinate
student interests and keep the majority informed.

I think the president can learn what student opinion
is through Rep Council members, opinion polls, and
even a concentrated personal effort. The student body
may not necessarily remain unresponsive if Student Gov-
ernment shows real interest in developing an honest
working relationship with the students. I think new ways
can be found to inform students about Rep meetings
and other SGA activities.

FOLTZ: Widespread student apathy can be overcome by
involving the Representative Council in constructive gov-
ernment pertinent to campus and community needs of
today. In the dictionary "dissension" is simply defined
as a differing of opinion. In this sense I feel dissension
can be used constructively to bring about needed
changes. I would strive to provide an atmosphere of
open communication where students know that their
opinion is significant to student self-government.

MACKENZIE: Apathy is widespread on campus, but it
is not essentially so. I do not intend to stir up dissension
for the sake of getting attention, nor do I intend to force
students to be responsive. Hopefully, Rep Council will
deal with issues that are of concern to the students, and
that students will act accordingly. Through the publicity
of Rep's actions and through the wide range of interests
covered by Rep's committees, I hope to keep students
informed and involved.

SMITH: It is indeed disheartening to note the wide-
spread apathy on the Agnes Scott campus. If given the
opportunity to serve during the 1972-1973 session, I will
endeavor to recreate the vital spirit of community and
interaction which has greatly lessened. Dissension can
only create trouble and hard feelings, and can be a rather
immature method of solving problems. The more posi-
tive way is to seek the students' opinions in con-
versation, by their participation at Rep meetins and in
committee work.

SWANN: The trend toward apathy is nationwide. In-
volvement off-campus may occupy students' time, but it
can't fill the gap created by a lack of interest in the
college itself. We shouldn't be willing to spend so much
time on the campus unless it's worthwhile to us. Recent-
ly, depression has settled in, because we don't consider
our efforts rewarded. Many professors and students
agree that academic work is often a chore. The sense of
community is diminished. People expect to enjoy them-
selves only off-campus. Through indifference we sell our-
selves short. Dissension can only create negativism. Our
choice then is a positive attitude. If anything on the
campus interests us - is worth our time - first ac-
knowledge it; then look for ways to improve the
situation.

I will approach students as individuals, and confront
issues which are of vital interest to them; encourage Rep

SGA

(Continued from page 2)

members to be receptive to student opinion; and sum-
marize Rep minutes and future business in the Profile.
I'd keep "office hours," offering a chance for students
to have ideas heard.

4. The president of SGA is one of two students on the
Administrative Committee. Many believe the position to
be a nominal one. How do you see the position in rela-
tion to college policy and student power?

BARTLETT: The position can be strengthened if it is
backed up by evidences of student opinion.

FOLTZ: In the past perhaps student representation on
Administrative Committee was a nominal one, but with
the present trend in the administration to actively seek
out student concerns, this position is becoming a more
important vehicle for students to obtain their construc-
tive goals.

MACKENZIE: It is important to keep a student on the
Administrative Committee to give, as much as possible,
student opinions and desires concerning college policies,
and to keep the administrative "in touch" with student
needs.

SMITH: I feel the two student representatives on the
Administrative Committee play an important role and
are vital to a successful SGA. Student opinion directly
from students who are well informed is very necessary
for a board which works for and with college students.

SWANN: Because students have a significant amount of
power in influencing college policy, this position can be
crucial.

5. Rep Council functioned without board presidents for
the first time this year. How has this worked? Do you
see a need for board presidents to have more power?
Should BSA have the right to pass or veto Rep decisions
when the issue directly concerns the boards in structure
or in function?

BARTLETT: Board presidents are important in guiding
and coordinating board activities. However, I believe
their power should be limited. BSA should not have veto
power on Rep decisions; that would limit the student
body's power to change its government's organization.

FOLTZ: Last year's reconstruction of the boards ena-
bled Rep Council to work much more efficiently this
year, however, BSA naturally discovered some disadvan-
tages in their first working session. Many problems were
ironed out by constitutional changes at the end of the
winter quarter. Consideration should always be given to
board presidents when their direct concerns are being
discussed in Rep Council. Instead of uniting BSA and
Rep Council again by giving BSA the right to pass or
veto Rep decisions, both groups should be encouraged to
effect legislative concern with dialogue and cooperation.

MACKENZIE: Board presidents coordinate campus acti-
vities through BSA. To allow this board to function effi-
ciently, the overall power of BSA needs to be increased.
However, ultimate legislative power should remain in
Rep Council due to the need for coordinated or control-
led legislation.

SMITH: Rep Council indeed functioned more effectively
this year. The elimination of board presidents from Rep
gave the Council more opportunity to involve itself in
legislative matters. I do not think that BSA or the board
presidents should have the right to pass of veto Rep
decisions that concern boards in structure and/or func-
tion. A board whose primary concern is to coordinate
activities on campus should not be involved in legislative
matters. Persons and boards will be consulted in matters
which specifically concern them so Rep members can
accumulate information to act wisely on an issue.

SWANN: The present system won't work if BSA
acknowledges a loss of power. If, however, Rep and the
boards are coordinated to work closely with constant
communication, there should be no need for BSA veto
power.

6. Is the present system of appeals in legislative and

PAGE 3

judicial matters adequate and accessible to the individual
student? Explain your position.

BARTLETT: I do not believe the present system of
appeals is entirely adequate in legislative and judicial
matters. I think students are sometimes unaware of their
power to appeal or unfortunately feel threatened or in-
timidated by the individuals in the present system. If the
average student felt a greater involvement in student gov-
ernment and felt that student government was working
for the majority, not for a few, this problem would be
lessened.

FOLTZ: According to the individuality of each student
the present or judicial appeal is a flexible one. This sys-
tem or the options available should be more clearly de-
fined in the handbook. The system of legislative appeal
is sufficiently explained in the constitution.

MACKENZIE: The present system of appeals is ade-
quate but needs to be explained, since many students are
unaware of its functioning. As it now stands, a student
can appeal her case to a higher court or to the student
body. I believe Honor Court is evaluating this system,
and its recommendations need to be made known.

SMITH: The present system of appeals in legislative and
judicial matters is adequate and accessible to the indivi-
dual student who so desires. The channels are waiting
and are open it is up to the student who disagrees to
take an interest and to act.

SWANN: No. The rationale should perhaps be reviewed
and the procedure at least be made clear.

7. What programs do you have in mind for next year?
How does this affect the student body? Does it involve
them? What directions do you feel most relevant here
and now?

BARTLETT: I hope to integrate student government
more fully with student life. Atlanta is a good area to
pursue academic and community-directed interests and I
feel SGA can find ways of coordinating those interests.
Academic change appears imminent; SGA should pro-
vide students with a continuous channel of communi-
cation with the administration. SGA can affect every
student on this campus and can generate the involve-
ment of many by informing the student of activities and
issues and by using its special offices to help students
fulfill their interests and make their opinions count.

FOLTZ: My goals are to involve students more actively
in academic matters(the Committee on Academic Prob-
lems needs revitalization), to encourage the addition of a
gynecologist to the present medical staff, to answer the
needs of the whole community including maintenance
and staff workers, and to bring about increased com-
munication between students and elected representa-
tives.

MACKENZIE: The effectiveness of new boards needs to
be evaluated and necessary changes made. The old com-
mittees, such as the Committee on Community Affairs
and the Student Services Committee, need to be exam-
ined as to how they can be made more meaningful to
student life. Small but helpful details, such as the open-
ing of the lunchroom line 15 minutes earlier, should be
acted upon. Rep needs to study the results of the self-
evaluation and take any action within its power to make
needed changes.

SMITH: Foremost on my list is an improvement of the
community spirit of ASC, which, when it is active, will
help to direct Rep's carrying out of the aims and wishes
of students. The programs of leaders of SGA should fol-
low student concerns and interests.

I propose immediately to conduct a student-opinion
poll regarding areas in which students feel changes
should be made. The results of this will guide the pro-
grams of the 1972-1973 Rep Council.

SWANN: Provide students with what they need on cam-
pus: investigate the dull intellectual climate, improve
communication, coordinate work of boards and organi-
zations, work toward a student center. This involves stu-
dents directly satisfaction with life on campus de-
pends on it.

(Our direction) To see what so much recent change
has left us with. To work within the present structure;
improving it when possible, to attack the problems
affecting us most deeply.

HONOR COURT

Knightly
becoming to

1 . What is tne current status of student awareness of and
support for Honor Court? Does Honor Court reflect stu-
dent values or does it merely play custodian of rules?

KNIGHT: Due to the traditional assertion that the
Honor System is concerned with the infringement of
rules, perhaps a negative attitude toward Honor Court
has evolved. Thus, Honor Court might be viewed solely
as a custodian of rules. Yet, Honor Court does reflect
student values. Our present "system of rules" has evol-
ved from the assumption that all are honorable and of
the integrity to assert fundamental, collective values
necessary for community life. Honor Court advocates
these fundamental values and insures the rights of the
student body with regard to our regulations. It might be
wise to evaluate our Honor System in relation to differ-
ing values and examine those essential values vital to the
maintenance of our community relationship.

2. (a) Is the present system of appeals accessible enough
for students? (b) Should the administration have more,
or less, authority in judiciary decision?

KNIGHT: (a) The present system of appeals is accessible
with respect to its written format in the Handbook, but

INTERDORM

behavior
Honor Court

not accessible in terms of effective administering. There
is a definite need for a more explicit workable system of
appeals, knowingly available to the student body. Thus,
the reason for a reformed and proposed system of
appeals by Honor Court.

(b) The Administration's authority is adequately and
necessarily manifested in Honor Court's interaction with
Administrative Committee. If the role of student govern-
ment is to responsibly continue, the majority of student
authority concerning judiciary decisions must evolve
with the students, not the administration. This is not to
reject the individual collabration between student and
faculty, for the discovery of differing and coinciding
opinions and approaches needs to be reinforced! Yet, a
conscientious consciousness of the differing roles of stu-
dent and administrative authority in judiciary decisions
must be maintained, for capable responsiveness to these
roles.

3. Should "honor" and a student's responsiblity under
the Honor System be more clearly defined? Is it general-
ly understood?

KNIGHT: All students of this campus are capable of

PROFILE /March 28, 1972

KNIGHT

understanding honor and one's responsibility living in an
Honor System as it is expressed in the Honor Pledge,
found in the Handbook. However, sometimes this under-
standing is manifested solely intellectually or with habit-
ually performed actions. The consciousness of one's per-
sonal honor as the basis of our way of life at Scott needs
to develop with an uninhibitpd attitude toward dual re-
sponsibility.

Allen, Winfrey look toward dorm-centered functions

ED. NOTE: Bonnie Troxler's name is on the ballot for Chairman of Interdorm, but she chose not to answer the Profile questions.

that takes a little bit of trusting and reaching out on office and the student body could be met through these

WINFREY, TROXLER, ALLEN

1. Explain Interdorm's position in the judicial hierarchy.
What part of Interdorm's responsibility should be devo-
ted to this?

ALLEN: Interdorm acts as a judicial body only when a
case arises which has been referred to it from an indivi-
dual dorm council, or in cases serious enough to warrant
immediate action from Interdorm. This role is very ne-
cessary, allowing it to exist as a secondary judicial body,
to act on appeals or upon cases in which there is indeci-
sion. I would like to see individual dorm councils
strengthened, enabling them to decide a penalty higher,
than they are now allowed to give. This would allow
Interdorm to serve primarily as an appellate court.

WINFREY: I see the job of Interdorm at Agnes Scott as
two-fold, each part being equally important. First, Inter-
dorm is a judicial body which handles social violations.
The board handles appeals from individual dorm coun-
cils and hears cases which come directly to it for con-
sideration. It then has the authority to set penalties as it
deems fit. This is not its entire responsibility, however.
Interdorm serves as a liaison between the school and the
boarding students.

The Dean of Students Office and Interdorm then
have key positions in representing the school and stu-
dents as they sound out situations which involve both
groups. There is sometimes a gap, I feel, in communi-
cation with the office. Interdorm needs to take steps to
close this gap as far as dorm living goes. Students need to
express themselves to Interdorm more through dorm
councils. The board cannot solicit student opinion; stu-
dents must let their suggestions be known openly and

both accounts. If this^ board's position as the students'
representative were taken more literally by the students
and then listened to as a cumlative voice, relaying back
to the students in the process, the present system would
work much better than we think.

2. Dormitory Councils are officially assuming a counsel-
ling responsibility next year. Should Interdorm help
with this? Do you foresee more need to "train" Dorm
Councils in councilling? How much more mediation do
you expect with the Dean's staff as a result of this re-
sponsibility?

ALLEN: The counselling responsibility of dorm council
next year should primarily be to answer questions and to
listen and take suggestions arising about procedure rela-
ting to dorm life and the council as a whole.

Acknowledging their individual responsibility as
counsellors, I believe, will impress upon dorm council
members their need to be well acquainted with their
positions and with their dormitory.

I fear that too often in the past individual council
members have run across problems they did not feel
themselves personally qualified to handle. I have con-
sidered the possibility of setting aside one meeting per
quarter for all dormitory councils to meet with Inter-
dorm and bring to these meetings any particular prob-
lems arising within their dorm.

I don't think we can "train" students as counselors in
one easy week or even a year, but I do believe that by
making a concerted effort to acknowledge and discuss
problems, answers may be found within the dorm coun-
cils with Interdorm as the mediating body.

WINFREY: I definitely think a training session for dorm
council members is necessary and would be beneficiary,
as they assume a counselling responsibility. This should
be handled by Interdorm and ought to include: (I) a
thorough understanding of social regulations, (2) speci-
fics about the dorm they will be serving (e.g. fire drill
regulations), (3) information about proper channels for
referral of problems, suggestions and so forth, not to run
a person through red tape but to fully utilize the office*
and channels that we have.

3. What ways could Interdorm help bridge the gap be-
tween the Dean of Students' office and the student
body? Should this be done?

ALLEN: I believe that the "gap" between the Dean's

sessions which I spoke of previously. If the staff is not
actually present at these sessions, then Interdorm could
act as the coordinating body to bring from these meet-
ings suggestions and ideas they may have for the Dean's
office.

WINFREY: Due to a hopefully better understanding of
the relationship between Interdorm, Dorm Council, and
the Dean's office, I think the office will be used more as
a means of communication.

4. Should Interdorm and Dorm Councils begin to spon-
sor social functions and discussions or forums?

ALLEN: I would like to see Interdorm through each
dorm council sponsor speakers from the community to
meet with interested students for informal discussions
on issues and problems, as well as to introduce and in-
form our student bod? on new and interesting oppor-
tunities. This could not only enlighten individuals but
also provide opportunities for activity within the com-
munity.

WINFREY: Council members are not policemen as
Interdorm is not. Students themselves are responsible for
following the regulations. I think it's a great idea for
dorms to plan social functions, such as the sandwich
supper Rebekah Dorm had winter quarter. Such activi-
ties help pull the girls together into a social unit.

5 What relationship do you think should exist between
the individual boards and BSA? Do you think that board
presidents should be represented on Rep Council?

ALLEN: BSA as the coordinating body, I feel functions
well to collect and insure proper scheduling of events.
To put the presidents of the various boards on Rep
Council would almost defeat its purpose along with that
of BSA. But, I do feel that any controversial issues
should be open to one meeting of student discussion,
before the members of Rep vote on an issue.

WINFREY: I think Interdorm's place on BSA is to
represent and to coordinate activities of the dorms with
the other organizations. One thing I do feel very strongly
is that since Rep Council deals with the issues and legis-
lation that so directly concerns social regulations, one of
the major concerns of Interdorm, Interdorm, which
deals with 85% of the student body, should have a mem-
ber on Rep.

BSA

Re-shaping

HOLT, FREEMAN

1. BSA has the responsibility of encouraging, coordinat-
ing, evaluating, and publicizing activities of interest to
the students. How would you do this? Do you think it
has been done effectively this year? What changes would
you make?

FREEMAN: The best way to fulfill the responsibilities
of BSA is to work in close association with the student
body, making the board a place where student needs and
interests may be aired. Being a young board, BSA is still
taking shape. To be a more effective board, more empha-
sis needs to be placed on BSA as a forum for interests
and ideas within the student body, and on BSA as a
body that can be a strong voice in making some of these
ideas become reality.

HOLT: The responsibility of encouraging, coordinating,
evaluating, and publicizing activities of interest to the
student body is one of importance, for it results in a
student body that is informed of what's going on around
them. BSA carries out this responsibility through its
open meetings where all board presidents announce their
coming events. The minutes are then posted on the bull-
etin board for all to read. The BSA calendar is an excel-
lent reference guide as to what is going on in the Atlanta
area and on campus throughout the month. Aside from
changes, I believe BSA's present system of coordinating
and publicizing activities to be an effective and satis-
factory one.

2. What role should BSA take with its member boards?
Is this to their advantage?

FREEMAN: BSA should work with member boards
helping them to coordiante and carry out their activities.
BSA should not, however, be a board that usurps the
power of its members. This is, as I see it, a definite
advantage to various boards.

HOLT: The role of BSA with its member boards is one
of service service in that BSA is a place of coordi-
nation among these boards. BSA gives each board the
advantage of knowing what every other board has plan-
ned from month to month for their college calendar.
This is a valuable service, for it avoids the overlapping of
energies, and makes more clear the areas of possible pro-
jects which are not being tapped.

3. What sort of stand would you take if Rep passed
legislation to which most boards and many students
were opposed? Would your stand matter?

FREEMAN: I would take the stand of the student body,
if at all possible; and I believe that my stand would
matter. A vote is not always necessary if a voice speaks
strongly.

HOLT: Yes, emphatically, the stand of BSA would mat-
ter! The board's membership which is composed of all
major boards and council heads on campus, plus the four
class presidents, plus Freshman members at large -
makes it an excellent cross-section of the student body.
Therefore the voice of BSA should be respected and
listened to as one of true representation.

Should the problem arise of a piece of legislation not
being supported by the majority of boards and students
on campus, I believe BSA to be the best board through
which to make this opposition known. The board's
stand, in this case, would be one of recommendation to
Rep that the matter in question be reconsidered. If Rep,
then, agreed to re-ooen discussion on the matter, BSA
would use its energies to conduct student polls, ques-
tionnaires, petitions and other similar means in order to
clarify to Rep the existence of this opposition.

4. It is believed that a new era has begun for Agnes
Scott. Social regulations are minimal, the academic cal-
endar may soon change, MARTA has brought bus fares
to 1 5 cents. How do these factors affect the needs and
interests of students at Scott? Does the board-structure
need reworking to be relevant to the situation at hand?
Would you support this?

FREEMAN: These factors all work to broaden the op-
portunities of the Scott student. I am not sure that I
would favor a reworking of the present board structure,
as much as I would support a reworking within the
boards themselves to make their activities more relevant
to these daily changes.

HOLT: With the relaxation of rules and regulations at
Scott, the excitement of broadening changes in the aca-
demic calendar, and the effects of rapid transit, Agnes
Scott is growing increasingly away from herself as an
entity, and more and more into the community world
which surrounds her. The existence of BSA in the face
of these changes is important to the campus community
as an element of coordinating both off-campus and on-
campus activities.

It is my belief that the structure of BSA needs re-
working in order to be relevant to this new situation.
For example, presently BSA has absolutely no legislative
powers. This seems to be an oversight of great potential
since the board, itself, is a collective representation of
every major board on campus. Therefore, I would like to
see explored the possiblity of giving BSA legislative
powers on certain issues. A second change I would sup-
port involves the purpose of BSA as stated in the consti-
tution. I would like to see BSA no longer restricted to
just coordinating activities but initiating them as well.
This, I feel, would be a much more stimulating and pro-
ductive arrangement for the board and the campus.

OFFEN

PROFILE

An editor
for the masses

1. Do you think that unadvised students can continue to
find the time, the interest and the need to put out a
newspaper? Does Scott need a newspaper?

OFFEN: I would answer yes to both questions. I strong-
ly believe that Scott needs a newspaper (see question 2)
and given a good staff, the work is not terribly burden-
some and often enjoyable.

2. Assuming that there is a need for a newspaper what is
this need mainly, and how do you intend to meet it?

OFFEN: I believe that almost any school needs a news-
paper. This probably particularly true of Scott. Students
are interested in their school, but often due to the more
pressing immediacy of a test or paper, the currents and
movements in the school's thought are pushed to the
background. People are aware of the individual activities
they are involved in, but they don't have an adequate
overview. It is the paper's job to provide the students
with this perspective. The paper can achieve this by fo-
cusing on the issues of this school and of other schools.
Other colleges are the "ruler" by which we must mea-
sure ourselves and our means of getting an education.

3. What sort of newspaper do you expect Profile will be
next year?

OFFEN: This past year has been a very good one from
which to grow. I would like to see the paper continue its
concern for the issues and activities of this school and of
those around her. If these areas can be broadened in any
way then they should be. This, along with a good sprink-
ling of humor and feature articles, should make for the
kind of paper that is vital, informative, and also can be
enjoyed.

4. How could Profile expand to become a touchstone
with other schools and community issues. Will you try
to attend association conferences next year?

OFFEN: By growing in her awareness in the issues and
problems facing other schools, the paper could provide a
very valuable link. Community issues are covered more
than adequately in the Atlanta papers, and I see no need
for us to deal with them unless as with the highway
issue, they directly concern Scott. I will try to attend
conferences if from the agenda they seem worthwhile.

AA

1. What is AA's responsibility to the Agnes Scott com-
munity? How does AA contribute to the goals Agnes
Scott professes?

McMARTIN: It is the responsibility of AA to carry out
the purpose of the Board as stated in the Constitution,
very specifically to organize sports and recreational acti-
vities, coordinating with th P.E. Staff, faculty, and the
Student Body in an effort to make physical and recrea-
tional activity available to everyone. AA has made an
effort to tone down the competitive aspects of sports
activities in the hope that students will take advantage of
them to take a break from the everyday beat of life. It is
the responsibility of AA to organize activitie and to
encourage participation as an aspect of good mental

health.

During intellectual development, physical develop-
ment should not be neglected since a person is not pure-
ly intellectual or physical, but an integration of various
things. In providing sports and recreational activities, AA
hopes that students will take advantage of what is avail-
able to develop their potential in a variety of ways.

SEFCIK: Agnes Scott, in a liberal arts curriculum, at-
tempts to give her students academic excellence and in-
dividual development in a Christian context. ASC pro-
fesses we graduate a "whole woman." The Athletic Asso-
ciation has the responsibility of developing a portion of
this "woman." Through AA's activities, it is hoped, peo-

SOCIAL COUNCIL

PROFILE / March 28, 1972

Student center need seen: will Hub fill void?

1. What is Social Council's responsibility to the Agnes
Scott community? How does SC contribute to the goals
of the college?

BODDIE: When one considers the very extensive
changes in Scott students' social life in recent years, it
seems that Social Council's role at Scott needs to be
reevaluated. Social Council should work actively with
Orientation Council to help introduce freshmen to social
experiences in Atlanta - and Social Council must pro-
vide all Scott students with opportunities to relax and
have fun together. Social Council must seek to develop a
freer social atmosphere on campus to go along with
liberal social life in Atlanta. This will require student
enthusiasm and participation and can only be done if
Scott students want ASC to be a part of their social life.

CARCHIDI: Social Council's responsibility to the cam-
pus is to provide opportunities for social activities and
recreation. There should be varied types of activities so
as to encompass the wide range of interests and moods
of the students. This includes coordinating activities
with other schools and fraternities, promoting social ac-
tivities on and off campus, and initiating inner campus
activities.

Social Council contributes to the goals of the college
by concerning itself with the development of one aspect
of the student's life - the social - as a part of the full
program offered by Scott.

MacLENNAN: Social Council should provide those
types of entertainment and social functions that are rele-
vant both to today's changing society and also to the
needs and requests of Scott students. Social Council con-
tributes to the goals of the college by helping to unify
the campus through these activities.

2. With the minimum of social regulations Scott now has
the campus has relatively little need for a "dating
agency." Do you agree with this or not? What are the
primary social problems and needs facing Scott students
today?

BODDIE: No matter what people say, SC's most success-
ful activities recently have been those with guaranteed
male attendance. The number of Agnes Scott students
participating invariably seems to vary with the number
and attractiveness of boys there. I think the primary
social problem facing Scott today is isolation. The cam-
pus is not considered a place to meet people, or enter-
tain guests - nor does it offer many opportunities to do
so. We live here and we should be able to do these
things here. Social Council would like to help lower
Scott's "walls" and make things happen on campus.

CARCHICI: S.C. is not a dating agency. It should ini-
CA

tiate and sponsor social activities for the Scott student.
Then it's up to the students to take advantage of the
opportunities offered. But the activities should be made
available!

One of the primary social problems facing Scott is
that we just do not use the campus for any social activi-
ties. There is a need to activate and enliven the atmos-
phere of the campus. Also, SC should initiate and spon-
sor social activities for the students rather than always
relying on other area schools to provide activities.

MacLENNAN, BODDIE, CARCHIDI

MacLENNAN: While there is very little need for a "dat-
ing agency" prevalent in the past, there is still a need for
girls to have an opportunity to meet men. The main
social problem facing Scott is that the campus is not
co-ed, which, of course, can make it hard sometimes for
students to meet and mix with men. There is also the
problem that girls with no way to get off campus have
there is nothing to do at Scott on the weekends.

3. What is your opinion Scott's need for a student cen-
ter? Are we as well off without one . . . should the Hub
be left degenerate . . . should we "push" for an eventual
student center building? How would you go about this?

BODDIE: Scott desperately needs a Student Center. In
view of the Hub's location and availability I'd like to see
it completely renovated as a snack bar and Student Cen-

Money problems beset board

I. What is CA's responsibility in the life of the Agnes
Scott community? How does CA contribute to the goals
Scott professes?

COLANDO: The main responsibility of CA is to respond
to the individual students' needs. Of course this must be
preceded by being aware of these needs. This is where I
feel the new board must begin - in being more sensitive
to the new liberal views in spiritual thinking.

Agnes Scott's purpose speaks of the "all-round per-
sonal development" of its students. This involves spirit-
ual development as well as mental and physical areas. It
is the nurturing and interdependence of all of these areas
that contribute to one assuming "responsiblity in the
community in which she lives."

PARSONS: Agnes Scott professes to be a Christian col-
lege. The faculty and staff as well as the students are
aware of this before entering the Agnes Scott com-
munity. But what meaning does such a purpose have? In
a college where academic standards of excellence are
stressed and the church and the Christian God often are
not considered to be true, is it feasible to assume Chris-
tianity as a purpose? If the people involved believe that
all truth ultimately comes from God then such a purpose
is meaningful.

I believe that truth does come from God. Therefore
Christian Association is the specific group on campus to
present Christianity as a strong, rational, and purposeful
way to find meaning for life.

2. CA operates without any Student Government funds
and generally suffers severe financial problems. How do
you propose to encourage and supplement financial sup-
port for the CA program?

COLANDO: Financial support will come only when the
college community becomes interested in the CA pro-
gram. And interest can be aroused through involvement.
I would like to see CARs, interfaith representatives and
all students who are even remotely interested become
actively involved in the CA program and assume some
responsibility in the various projects.

PARSONS: CA is handicapped by lack of funds. In the
past the idea of community giving to CA provided the
funds necessary. Now, however, students at Scott are
broadening their horizons looking to the needs of the
world. The organizational needs of CA seem less worth-
while. Since the largest part of CA's work is for the
student body through chapels and Focus on Faith it is
important that CA receive a reasonable budget from.stu-

ter. However, we cannot justifiably ask the college to
spend this money unless we first prove that a Student
Center will be USED. To do this we've all got to be
willing to use the Hub now and work to fix it up. This
will be Social Council's highest priority.

CARCHIDI: There is a desperate need for an active and
working student center at Scott. Since it seems highly
unlikely that we will get a new student center in the near
future, I think we should enliven the Hub and make it
more appealing. A student-operated snack bar, a free
jukebox, and games such as football machines would
attract more people. Hopefully, this would offer stu-
dents a place to entertain and would encourage them to
invite others on campus, while serving as a meeting place
for Scott students and would also help unify the cam-
pus.

MacLENNAN: I definitely believe that Scott could use a
Student Center. The Hub should not be allowed to de-
generate and suffer from lack of use, but should be con-
verted into a Student Center. This could be accom-
plished with some rennovation, new furniture and equip-
ment (like TV's, the pool table, etc.) and possibly the
relocation of a snack bar in the Hub.

4. What programs are you projecting for your board next
year? How do these plans reflect the needs of the cam-
pus community?

BODDIE: I'd like to focus on making the Hub more
"livable." Social Council will try to bring people on cam-
pus and help students get off campus. One project is
organizing sign-ups and transportation for students wish-
ing to usher at concerts and plays. We'd also like to
involve Scott students in the Free University at Tech
(gourmet cooking, wine-tasting, bridge lessons). Social
Council will seek to provide students a place to relax on
campus and opportunities to interact with new people
off campus.

CARCHIDI: Besides working on the Hub, I hope to pro-
pose more activities on campus such as having our own
"wonderful Wednesdays" with night concerts in the am-
phitheater or quad parties. Other informal and casual
activities should be initiated for the student whether she
wants to meet boys, entertain them, or get together with
other Scott girls.

MacLENNAN: Besides the usual Orientation functions
of Social Council, I plan to have more events with other
colleges such as Coffee Houses, mixers, and possible
sports events or a joint bridge tournament. I also think it
would be a good idea to have Sunday night movies at
Scott, and I plan to have a dance or concert next year. I
would also be open to suggestions from students.

ORIENTATION

PAGE

Orientation candidates
look toward the city

1. Explain the influence Orientation
Council has on the campus. How does
this involve and affect returning students
as well as new ones?

HARRIS: Orientation has tremendous in-
fluence on the campus each fall. The first
impressions the new student receives of
Agnes Scott are a result of Orientation's
work. Therefore, Orientation's influence
is felt throughout the freshman year.

The returning students and, in fact,
the entire campus are also affected by
Orientation. Orientation must help set up
dates, events, and people for such things
as the tour of Atlanta, rush girls, the
book panel, and other things.

Most activities are centered around the
new students but the entire campus be-
comes involved in one way or the other
with fall Orientation. Orientation is a
vitaily important organization to the
entire Scott campus and is a continuing
influence throughout the year.

HILL: Orientation's influence is wide-
spread because it works with all new stu-
dents, many returning students through
the senior academic advisors and the
orientation group program, and every ma-
jor board. The attitude upperclassmen
convey to new students reflects Orienta-
tion Council's own spirit. The programs
Orientation initiates are the first glimpse
new students h ave of Scott. I believe their
impressions during those first days are
long lasting.

WILKES: The main function of Orienta-
tion Council is to plan events specifically
designed to acquaint new students with
Agnes Scott, and to work with other or-
ganizations in coordinating the total
orientation program. The Council is
essential, but the primary responsibility
rests with returning students - it's the
personal contacts of sponsors and helpers,
board activities, and just a friendly "Hi!"
that can really make the difference for a
new student. So Orientation does affect
the entire community and depends large-
ly on returning students to help the new
class become adjusted to life at Scott.

2. Should Orientation work with Dorm
Councils in the councilling problems that
arise while freshmen adjust? Will Orienta-
tion's job be affected by the new rooming
arrangement?

HARRIS: Orientation, in the past, has
not worked with Dorm Council in coun-
cilling problems concerning freshmen. I
see this as a possibility for Orientation
Council. But, only that it does not usurp
the function of Dorm Council in this
area.

Orientation will not be affected ad-
versely by the new rooming arrangement.
As far as orienting the freshmen, more
contact with upper classmen could make
adjustment to Scott quicker and simpler
for many freshmen Orientation cannot
reach individually.

HILL: Yes. Orientation's job is to help all
new students to adjust and dormitory life
can definitely be the biggest adjustment
of all. I believe the new rooming arrange-
ment will affect Orientation's job because
freshmen will be more spread out on cam-
pus and it will be more difficult to pull
them together and get them to work to-

gether as a class.

WILKES: In certain problem cases, it
seems that both Dorm Council and
Orientation Council could and should
pool their efforts in helping to solve the
problems that some new students face. If,
for example, a freshman missed several
class meetings, Orientation Council would
know it, and could notify the appropriate
Dorm Council, and possibly both could
make a personal effort to find out what
the situation is. The accessability of the
Dean of Students' office, which is repre-
sented on Orientation Council, is of great
value in this sort of situation. The new
rooming arrangement should place more
new students in the midst of more return-
ing students, and help everyone get ac-
quainted faster. I think Orientation will
be favorably influenced.

3. What relationship, do you think,
should exist between BSA and the indivi-
dual boards? Would you be willing to sub-
ordinate your board's program for a more
effective and central assessment of the
needs and interests of the student body as
a whole through BSA?

HARRIS: If adjustment of the new stu-
dents to Agnes Scott's daily life was made
easier by a broadening of BSA's power,
Orientation Council would willinging
adapt its program to meet both the pur-
poses and plans of BSA and Orientation.

HILL: BSA and individual boards need to
work closely together so that all campus
activities can be effectively coordinated.
Orientation especially needs BSA because
it asks so many boards to help with its
program. Yes, I would be willing to sub-
ordinate my board as long as an effective
orientation is carried out.

WILKES: The Board of Student Activi-
ties has, in my opinion, great potential as
a board that could make an effective
assessment of student body needs and in-
terests. I think that every board could
benefit from such an evaluation, and,
considering the present organization of
BSA, that every board could make some
effective changes where necessary.

4. Do you think board presidents need
legislative power? Should they be repre-
sented on Rep Council? Explain your
position.

HARRIS: Having the boards on both Rep
and BSA would necessarily destroy one
or the other. As long as the board presi-
dents can protect the interests of their
boards within BSA, I do not feel strong
legislative power is necessary.

HILL: Yes., board presidents should be
on Rep. These people represent a good
cross section of campus opinion due to
their particular interests and can point
out different stand points that are impor-
tant in any issue before Rep.

WILKES: There are obvious advantages as
well as disadvantages in not having the
board presidents represented on Repre-
sentative Council. It seems to me that it is
the function of Rep Council to represent
the student body as a whole, and there-
fore, that boards should not be directly

HARRIS, WILKES, HILL

represented on the Council.

5. What programs do you want to initiate
for Orientation? How will you change
what has been done in the recent past?

HARRIS: Orientation is structured so
that major changes are not realistic.
Because the council must introduce Scott
completely, Orientation can change its
presentation but not areas covered.

I can see Orientation meeting the
needs of the new students with the same
basic program as in the past. I would like
to initiate a program with the Dean of
Students Office to help them introduce
themselves to the freshmen.

Orientation could help the freshmen
by providing a service in the information
packet started in '71 -'72 called "What To
Do If." This would direct the individual
to the various services on campus that it
takes three years to learn about. Other
ideas I would approach would involve
broadening many activities already within
the council's calendar of events.

HILL: The main things I would like to
see initiated next fall are more interaction
with groups on other campuses (such as
Free University at Tech) and more oppor-
tunities for community involvement. I
think perhaps what we have called social

orientation has been too narrow for the
present student's needs. Hopefully
Orientation can work with Social Council
in broadening this program. I would also
like to note that the main thing I do not
want to change is the present emphasis on
academics-adjustment to our academic
community should be first and foremost.

WILKES: In the area of academic coun-
cifling, I would like to see some kind of
long-range councilling available, so that
students who are, for example, consider-
ing education certification, could begin to
arrange their schedules in the right direct-
ion even as early as the freshmen year.

In bringing students more in contact
with the Dean of Students' office, I
would like to initiate a program that
would bring the orientation groups to the
D.O., just as they visit the President's
Office. Perhaps such a visit would make
both parties more aware of the avail-
ability of each other.

Socially, it seems that a new type of
function could be more effective, more
fun, and more beneficial for Scotties than
the present Freshman Dance.

Generally, I would like to see all
Orientation events carried out in such an
attitude that would help to make the ex-
perience pleasant, fulfilling, and memor-
able for every new student.

(Continued from page 6)

COLANDO: BSA should act as an advisory council to
the individual boards - keeping them informed of what
other boards are planning and even directing the boards
when they are neglecting a need in their sphere of inter-
est. Before I would subordinate CA's program, the new
proposal would have to be considered and the CA board
would have to decide if it really met the campus' spirit-
ual needs.

PARSONS: BSA is the coordinator for all the boards. In
order for BSA to be effective the individual boards must
be willing to be coordinated.

4. Do you think that boards need legislative power?
Should they be represented on Rep Council? Explain
your position.

COLANDO: Answering this from the perspective of CA,
I would have to say no on both accounts. Rep Council
concerns itself with the mandatory elements of college
life, whereas the boards are involved with voluntary acti-
vities.

PARSONS: No, the individual boards do not need legis-
lative power. Any problems should be solvable through
BSA.

5. What programs and goals do you project for CA next
year? Are any of these off-campus activities? Is CA more

pie will learn to accept and get alor.g with others inform-
ally, grow individually in an area other than academics
and thus become well-rounded individuals.

2. Would it be practical for Scott to make its recrea-
tional facilities more available to faculties and local
groups? What could AA do to implement this?

McMARTIN: During the past year, AA has tried to make
arrangements for local groups to use our recreational
facilities, but there are several factors involved which
limit the ability to do this. One must take into consider-
ation the fact that the recreational facilities at Scott are
intended for Scott students. If local groups are consist-
ently allowed to use ASC facilities, the time that ASC
students could use the same facilities is diminished. Prac-
tical considerations, such as insurance and supervision,
enter into the question when local groups use ASC facili-
ties. One should not infer that local groups are to be
excluded from the use of ASC facilities, but at the pre-
sent time, considerable thought must be given to a parti-
cular instance. AA should continue to be, open to sug-
gestions and ideas.

SEFCIK: I feel that our recreational facilities are not
used to their fullest. I would like to see an effort made
to open them to outside groups. Implementation of this
could be made by a study of the facilities available,
needs of groups for such facilities, means of inviting and
opening our facilities to these groups, and the organi-
zation, coordination, and supervising of these events by
AA.

3. What relationship do you think should exist between
BSA and the individual boards? Would you be willing to
subordinate your board's program for a more effective
and central assessment of the needs and interests of the
student body as a whole, through BSA?

McMARTIN: I feel that BSA should exist to coordinate
and eliminate overlaps among the boards. The program
of individual board's need not be subordinate to the
planning of BSA since the members of each board are
capable of designing a program which would meet the
needs of the students, in their considered opinion.

SEFCIK: The relationship betweeen BSA and the boards
should be a close and cooperative one, and if necessary, I
favor subordinating all board and class programs for a

important for the individual or for the community?
What part of the CA program do you consider most
vital?

COLANDO: Next year I would like CA to use complins
and CARs mor efficiently. This is CA's principle liaison
with the student body and the individual student's main
representative to the board. The CARs can individually
tell the students about service projects, discussion
groups, films and speakers I would like to have. I would
hope CA could begin to draw from the resources in the
Atlanta library and continue to invite community speak-
ers to chapel.

Interfaith Council will be the main representative for
all outside church functions. That is, all churches will
have to send their announcements to the interfaith chair-
man before they can be posted. In this way Interfaith
Council and CARs can work together in relaying all cur-

more effective and central assessment of the needs and
interests ot the student body as a whole.

4. Do you think that Board Presidents need representa-
tion on Rep Council? Explain your position.

McMARTIN: If Rep Council is able to function as a
whole with all members voting and with increased com-
munication between Rep and the Student Body, I would
feel that Board Presidents would not need representation
on Rep .Council. The representation as it stands should
be adequate to reflect student opinion.

SEFCIK: I do not believe Board Presidents need repre-
sentation on Rep Council. The Council, each week, posts
their minutes and by reading these a president can see if
the agenda will affect her board. If an item of business is
of interest or affects her board, the president may attend
the meeting and voice her opinions. If each president
feels the responsibility of keeping informed on Rep
Council's actions, I believe this type of board repre-
sentation is all that is necessary.

5. What programs are you planning for AA next year?
Do these include off-campus and inter-collegiate func-
tions or not? Will you try to do more to encourage
individual recreation and fitness?

McMARTIN: In the coming year I would like to see AA
actualize plans to refurnish the cabin and to provide
tennis court lights. There would be an inter-collegiate
off-campus program in hockey, basketball, and volley-
ball if interest warrants this kind of a program. Indivi-
dual recreation and fitness should be encouraged in addi-
tion to team and individual sports.

SEFCIK: Two big campus-wide projects the Athletic
Association will work on next year are: lights for the
tennis courts and the improvement of the cabin both in
its appearance and in its policies and restrictions. I also
feel a study should be made of Hub parties, the purpose
they now serve and the purpose they should serve. In the
area of sports, I would like to see more emphasis placed
on individual fitness, either through individual or team
sports. Although a few inter-collegiate activities will be
planned, I think informal campus-wide sports played for
ENJOYMENT and FUN should be emphasized. I feel
AA should provide a relaxing, enjoyable outlet for red,
bleary-eyed, tired-of-studying, uncoordinated, brainy
students!

rent information to each student. Again FOF will be the
main project of CA and will respond to whatever is felt
are the principle spiritual needs of the student body.

PARSONS: I would like to see CA become a strong,
unified board, recognized as an integral part of campus
life through the belief that it professes. Such a goal can
be carried out through the chapels and Focus on Faith as
well as some small discussion groups, a reorganization of
the tutoring program, and perhaps an off-campus service
project. Such projects would give students an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the faith they profess.

CA is most important for the campus as a whole. The
most vital role of the board is in presenting Christianity
as a powerful, exciting way of life in Jesus Christ, wor-
thy of each person's consideration. The projects and pro-
grams are ways for individuals to realize and express this
faith.

There will be a Sunrise Service in
the amphitheater at 6:30 a.m.
on Easter Sunday, April 2. Dr.
Alston will be the speaker.

Much to lose

By MOLLY DUSON

Is nuclear disarmament really
possible or are the SALT talks
just the wishful stabbing of a
handful of statesmen at a Uto-
pian dream? The last week of
winter quarter, a group of stu-
dents from Mr. Orr's Political
Science 204 and International
Relations classes began a search
for the answer to these and
other questions of international
relations through their participa-
tion in a week of simulated glo-
bal political interaction.

After eight weeks of class-
room instruction on the basic
principles of international di-
plomacy, the simulation gave the
students an opportunity to
apply these principles as they are
applied in the real political
world.

Cast in the roles of heads of
state and Foreign Affairs diplo-
mats of various hypothetical
countries, we traded, negotiated
alliances, held summit meetings
and conducted wars.

In some areas the simulation
showed trends remarkably like
those of the real world of the
60's. It began with a bi-polar
world in which the two super-
powers vied for the allegiance of
the smaller nations. Yet there
was, by the end of the fourth
and final period, a definite trend
toward a multi-polar world.

Another similarity was found
in the tremendous arms race be-
tween the two major powers. (In
spite of all the pacifist talk of
the "peach generation," we man-
aged to maintain an arms race of
an intensity that would have
made Soviet and American heads
spin.)

We even started our own little
Vietnam, but, fortunately, we
managed to end ours.

There was one striking differ-
ence between the simulated situ-
ation and the situation in the
real world - trust. Even though
we were competing for the very
survival of our nations, there was
always a basic element of trust
in our interactions.

It was this trust that made us
able to agree to nuclear disarm-
ament and feel fairly certain that
"the other guy" would not
cheat. It is this trust that is ab-
sent in the real political world -
so conspicuously absent that the
United States and the Soviet
Union cannot agree to any major
disarmament for fear that the
other side will in some way cir-
cumvent inspection and keep
its arms

As suspicion breeds suspicion,
a vicious cycle develops in which
each side builds its stockpiles to
maintain nuclear parity with the
enemy who is also building his
stockpiles. And around and
around we go until stops us . . .
dead.

The simulation may have
been a game insofar as we were
all playing to win, but it was also
even more a very serious learning
experience as it taught us how
very much we have to lose and
how very easy it would be to
lose it all.

Karl Wolfram, German singer of
ancient lyric ballads who accom-
panies himself on authentic me-
dieval instruments, will play a re-
turn engagement at Agnes Scott
College Thursday, March 30, at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. He is
on his eleventh annual lecture-
recital tour in the U.S. and
comes here sponsored by the
Agnes Scott music and German
departments.

Wolfram's repertoire is drawn
from the heritage of the Ger-

manic segment of the Indo-
European languages. He per-
forms on three varieties of medi-
eval instruments, including an
original 16th century ivory lute,
and gives background infor-
mation and English translations
for each piece performed.

The artist is originally from
Berlin and now resides on the
Isle of Sylt in north Germany.
The public is invited to his per-
formance at no charge.

The Atlanta production of the
Jerome Hines' opera, "I Am the
Way," will be presented at the

New program admits
non-degree candidates

A new policy allowing both men
and women to attend Agnes
Scott as part time, non- degree
candidates has been adopted.

Although auditing is not per-
mitted, these special students
may elect a course on a pass/fail
basis.

The new policy is the result
of a request from the National
Alumnae Association, stated
Dean Gary. The alumnae wanted
to be able to return to Scott to
enroll in courses of special inter-
est. The Academic Committee
expanded the proposal to in-
clude all men and women who
are approved for admission.

Requirements for these spec-
ial students are not rigid, but
either a high school diploma or
equivalency test is required. For
courses with restricted enroll-
ment, full-time students receive
preference.

the students are subject to the
same standards as degree candi-
dates and must meet prerequi-
sites for courses. Their work
becomes part of their permanent
record and may be used as credit
if they become degree candi-
dates.

These students pay around
$65.00 per quarter hour, which
is roughly equivalent to the cost
per quarter hour paid by day
and boarding students.

The new program already has
one participant enrolled in an art
course.

Open meeting to
discuss calendar

The Committee on the Aca-
demic Calendar is holding an
open meeting today at 4:30 p.m.
in Rebekah Reception Room.
Anyone interested is asked to at-
tend.

The meeting is intended to be
informative in nature. The com-

Madame

President

by CHRISTINE CLARK

In addition to the fact that she is
the new SGA president, Tinsley
Swann is an English major from
Dalton, Georgia, who loves kids,
decoupage, and old issues of
House and Garden magazine.
When asked what she does in her
spare time, her roommate, Mary
Gray, answered for her:
"Nothing, she doesn't have
any."

She really is quite an active
person, constantly trying to be
aware of what ASC students
need. She is concerned about the
lack of spirit on the campus; she
says that this attitude is not just
present here, but exists "all over
the whole country." Today,
there is an "I'll do it myself"
attitude, she added.

Tinsley wants students to rea-
lize that "it can be better ... I
can't be responsible for what
happens off campus, but when
they're here they ought to be en-
joying themselves." (You may
remember that Tinsley and Miss
Ammons planned several Sunday
night activities to improve cam-
pus spirit.)

Tinsley sees her new position
in terms of two equally impor-
tant roles: chairing formal meet-
ings of Rep Council and also,
serving as a liaison among indivi-
duals on campus. "I'm extreme-,
ly grateful for the support of the
campus," she said. "The re-
sponse to the election was en-

couraging to me," she added.
"I'm looking forward to doing
the best job I can to serve as
SGA president."

Concerned about communi-
cation in general, Tinsley plans
to keep office hours. "I'm en-
couraging every student, whe-
ther they know me or not, to
come talk to me about absolute-
ly anything."

She feels that the new boards
need student help and student
interest. "I guess I'm asking the
students to do a hard thing - to

and winter quarters regarding
different calendar systems. A
chart comparing six different
systems is found on the back of
this Profile. If students upon
looking over this chart find that
they have any questions, they
should bring them to the meet-
ing.

The committee has held simi-
ar information meetings for
faculty members on April 3 and
4.

Academic Council appointed
the Committee on the Academic
Calendar at the end of last year
to study the calendar and related
matters. After completing its
studies and giving opportunity
for all interested persons or
groups to ask questions and ex-
press their reactions to the vari-
ous systems, the committee will
make a report of its findings to
the Academic Council.

The members of the commit-
tee are Mary Virginia Allen, Pro-
fessor of French, jo Allen Brad-
ham, Assistant Professor of Eng-
lish, Michael Brown, Professor of
History, Marion Thomas Clark,
Professor of Chemistry, and Sara
Ripy, Professor of Mathematics
and chairman of the committee.

Questions
to consider

To the Editor:

I want to reenforce as many
times as necessary- that Aurora is
now accepting art work and
manuscripts for the spring issue.
There will be, as there was in the
fall, the opportunity to submit
not only art, short stories, and
poetry, but also one-act plays,
essays, and music. I hope again
this quarter to see the great
number of entries that there

were in the fall.

I don't like to think that stu-
dents are just too lazy to get
around to submitting - but
what other excuse did they have
winter quarter? The off-campus
response was far greater than
response on our own campus. I
hope this falling off was not a
falling off of interest but simply
a part of traditional winter-
quarter blues. I do know that

the students have the creativity.
I hope to see it again.

Submit manuscripts (typed
please) to Aurora Box 768, or to
the writing box in the mailroom.
To submit art contact Pat Austin
or Jennifer Clinard. Remember
the deadline - April 25.

AURORA Editor

Given that many perhaps unique advantages are found along "the
road less traveled" (see article, page 3), still I feel that we need to
ask ourselves several questions about possible changes for the future.
Some of these changes might work to greatly enhance and be of
great value to the school's character. Others perhaps would do more
harm than good. The effects of any change should be carefully
thought out, but let's at least consider them.

I offer no answers to these questions. Sometimes I may indicate
my own personal bias through the phrasing. On some questions I
don 't have even any definite opinion. But more than there being any
right or wrong answer at this point, I simply feel the need for asking
them.

In the academic realm, the inadequacies and failings in the pre-
sent calendar system are often too obvious. What system though is
the best and most workable for Scott? Not an easy question to
answer, but some work has already begun.

Should Scott enter into an exchange program with schools either
in the area or at a greater distance? Couldn't this prove a very
valuable asset or would it not be worthwhile?

Are the present requirements for graduation overly burdensome?
Could the length of required courses be shortened? Should there be
a fine arts requirement? Does Scott's "balanced diet of disciplines"
cause intellectual frustration, or does it broaden a student's scope
and intellectual outlook as it is intended?

In the area of social regulations several questions come to mind.
Since with this summer will come the legal recognition of eighteen
year olds as adults, should some of the present social regulations be
reexamined with this in mind?

Provided a new lot was built, perhaps freshmen should be allowed
to have cars. Should freshmen continue to have a time limit for the
first quarters?

Would allowing students to possess alcohol on campus reality
harm anything fundamental? Aren *t there some social functions held
by students on campus at which the serving of alcoholic beverages
would be totally appropriate? Would it be impossible in the future
for Social Council to sponsor beer and pretzel parties or the like?

Must parietals be something that are not even considered? Could
they be tried on a trial basis or is the inconvenience too great? Do
the students really want them at all?

Let me emphasize that I am merely raising these questions. I have
neither the proper knowledge or experience at present to give a
strong opinion one way or the other. But perhaps these and other
questions and topics are things which must be at least considered
and thought over.

A fellow student jokingly remarked over lunch one day that Scott
lets every other school try different changes, sees how they work for
them, and then perhaps adopts them for herself. In some ways this
statement is not inaccurate. And yet by changing slowly and with
careful thought going before, Scott offers a system of great stability,
and stability is in many ways necessary.

Yet still we must be open to consider change, change of all kinds,
even if the eventual result might be a rejection of it. What if it were
not. We could be missing a great deal.

EARTH WEEK 72

In which we introduce

Somehow with every turnover of
the paper's editorship, the read-
ing public must be submitted to
an introduction to the new edi-
tor. Not wanting to violate a
long established journalistic tra-
dition, I will not prove to be any
exception. Thus this short di-
gression from a regular editorial.
My main intention, however, is
to introduce you formally to the
Profile. (Student meet Profile,
Profile meet student.)

I would like to convey to you
the reader what I see as the pri-
mary motivation behind the Pro-
file. The paper does not belong
to the staff members, and it cer-
tainly does not belong to the
editor . . . but rather to the
school. Although a good staff is
very essential, and the editor is, I
like to think, necessary, the
Profile is not our paper; it does
not belong to us really.

We publish a newspaper not
because we so enjoy doing it
(although we do), or because it
is good for our health, but rather
in order to keep an important
means of communication open.
Hopefully the paper will be
oriented towards its readers. If
the news articles do not keep
you informed, and if the editor-
ials do not keep you thinking,
then we have failed.

Therefore I would like to

urge the students, faculty and
administration to use the paper.
Read the parts that interest you.
"Think Profile" when you want
publicity for some project or
event. Even though Scott is rela-
tively small, still there is ample
chance that we will miss some-
thing and fail to put it in the
paper. Newspapers are always
clamoring for news, and the Pro-
file is no exception. If you want
something published, then, let us
know. Of course the editors have
the final word as to what is
newsworthy and the space is
limited, but more than likely we
will be delighted with the infor-
mation. And finally, feel free to
consider the Profile your soap-
box. We willingly print letters to
the editor and student opinion
columns. React to the editorials
or bring up issues of your own. I
consider this one of the best
means on this campus by which
an individual can make her voice
heard. So use it!

The schedule of deadlines for
the remaining issues is printed
below for your convenience.

April 16 for the April 27 issue

The nationwide observance of
Earth Week has been set for
April 17-23. Since the earth her-
self is showing off a bit it seems
an appropriate time for the spe-
cial awareness of conservation
needs.

Participation is to be con-
ducted at the community level,
with local and statewide groups
utilizing their own resources and
establishing their own priorities.
Grass roots actions all across the
country can focus on air and
water quality, land and resource
use, transportation, technology,
and urban and population
growth.

For the first time in history,
the environmental issue will be a
major part of the political dia-
logue of the nationwide elec-
tions. Earth Week '72 can give
state and local groups a platform
on which to determine the en-
vironmental positions and
actions of present leaders and
candidates.

In addition, global pollution
concerns are especially timely
this year in view of the National
Wildlife Federation's "Uniting
Nations for Bio-Survival" inter-
national symposium to be held
in conjunction with the United
Nations Conference on the
Human Environment in Stock-
holm, June 10-12.

Due to the grass roots empha-
sis on Earth Week activities,
there will not be a national head-
quarters. Interested persons and
groups should contact environ-
mental and citizen organizations
at the state and local level to
make their own Earth Week
plans.

Let us do care about our
earth - it's the only one we
have.

ROADS

less-traveled

by MELODYE BROWN

The new college slide show was
recently shown for the campus
community. These slides, a mini
-composite of life at Scott, are
used to promote interest in the
college. They are shown in
homes of Alumnae to small
groups of prospective students.

The new slide show centers
around Robert Frost's poem,
'The Road Not Taken", an d
emphasizes the mutual affection
between Frost and Agnes Scott
that developed over the years.
Pictures of the college are ac-
companied by a soundtrack in
which Frost reads, 'Two roads
diverged in a wood, and I / I
took the one less traveled by".
The slides are built around the
kind of person who would
choose a "less traveled road"
such as Agnes Scott College.

The "people to .people" as-
pect of the college is accented.
Focus is placed on such assets as
the nine to one student- faculty
ratio and the friendly atmos-
phere at Scott.

The advantages of life in At-
lanta, "hub of the Southeast"
are noted. Unfortunately, the
comment, "Social life? You
couldn't find a fuller, richer one
than you'll find here," drew
laughter at each showing.

The academic side of life at
Scott is given ample coverage.
The concept of a liberal educa-
tion is stressed. It is made clear
that students at Agnes Scott
must "work very hard," and
commit their "time, heart, and
spirit." The internship program,
summer study abroad, indepen-
dent study, and directive reading
are shown along with self-
scheduled exams, to entice new
students.

In the new slide show, Agnes
Scott is represented as an institu-
tion of "unique and enduring ex-
cel lence," where mental and
moral disciplines are enter-
twined.

"Two roads diverged in a
wood, and I / I took the one less
traveled by, / And that has made
all the difference."

show their concern regarding
areas of campus life which the
boards influence. But I think the
amount which the boards will be
able to accomplish depends on
every student's interest sug-
gestions."

Concluding, Tinsley said, "I
think the campus can be
changed." She feels that her atti-
tude is the same as Steven
Muller, new president of Johns
Hopkins. In Art Buchwald's arti-
cle in The Atlanta journal and
Constitution of April 2, 1972,
Muller said, "Let us resolve to
strive, not only for achievement,
but for the grace of laughter and
kindness."

Kay Pinckney, a junior majoring
in Political Science, was recently
elected as an alternate delegate
to the Democratic National Con-
vention. In this capacity, she will
be able to vote in the place of
any regular delegate elected
from the 6th Congressional Dis-
trict who for some reason is un-
able to vote. It is not likely how-
ever that she will be able to uti-
lize this privilege; her primary
goal is to influence other dele-
gates to go for Muskie.

In Georgia, Kay was the only
candidate elected who publicly
committed herself to Muskie,
and was thus listed on the ballot.

On other side of desk

Spring quarter has arrived, and
the student teachers are teach-
ing. Scott currently has thirty-
six seniors teaching in schools in
the Atlanta-Decatur area. Of
these thirty-six students, eleven
are teaching at the elementary
level and twenty-five are teach-
ing at the secondary level. These
seniors are fulfilling their final
requirements for certification as
teachers, and from early morn-
ing to late afternoon thirty-six
Agnes Scott students fill the role
of teacher.

The requirements for certifi-
cation demand that each student
teacher have full responsibility
as a teacher for two weeks. For
many that responsibility comes

by ANN FINCHER

earlier. Often a supervising
teacher will give his student
teacher freedom while main-
taining a position of observation.
This position enables him to cri-
ticize and help the student
teacher. Other responsibilities in-
clude making lesson plans, grad-
ing student assignments, and
generally functioning as a teach-
er.

The education department
makes teaching assignments in
cooperation with participating
school systems. Schools range
widely in the cross section repre-
sented. Each student teacher has
the opportunity to respond to a
questionnaire describing inter-

Equal under the law

by KAY

"Equality of rights under the
law shall not be denied or abrid-
ged by the United States or by
any state on account of sex." So
reads the Equal Rights Amend-
ment (ERA), the proposed 27th
Amendment to the United
States Constitution. The ERA
passed the U.S. House of Repre-
sentatives in October of 1971;
Congressman Fletcher Thomp-
son and Ben Blackburn voted
with the majority. Recently the
Senate ratified the ERA by a
vote of 84-8 with Senators David
Gambrell and Herman Talmadge
on the affirmative side.

During a recent speech in a
chapel program here on campus,
Rep. Blackburn said that he de-
cided to vote for the ERA only
at the last minute and had no
particular feelings one way or
the other about it. However, he
feels that this amendment, when
ratified by the states, won't
change anything.

Amendment XIV to the U.S.
Constitution states, in part: "All
persons born or naturalized in
the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citi-
zens of the United States and of
the States wherein they reside.
No State shall . . . deprive any

PINCKNEY

person of life, liberty, or proper-
ty, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal pro-
tection of the laws . . . The Con-
gress shall have the power to
enforce, by appropriate legis-
lation, the provisions of this arti-
cle."

The above seems to be a clear
statement of equal rights for all
citizens of the United States,
black and other nonwhite peo-
ples and women included. How-
ever, the voting rights of non-
white Americans and women
had to be protected by the Fif-
teenth and Nineteenth Amend-
ments, respectively. Amend-
ments XXIV and XXVI extend-
ed this protection to poor peo-
ple and citizens 18 years of age.

Evidently, the franchise is not
included under "equal pro
tection of the laws." Neither,
apparently, are the rights of
female citizens of the United
States. Women often do not
receive "equal pay for equal
work." Property laws discrimi-
nate against married women, not
their husbands. Women in such
fields as journalism, law, and
medicine encounter many bar-

ests and grade level preference.
Using these responses the educa-
tion department requests and
recommends individual assign-
ments. The school systems try to
fulfill these requests and recom-
mendations.

Miss Ammons, chairman of
the education department, is en-
thusiastic about the progress of
the student teachers. When Miss
Ammons came here three years
ago, Scott participated with
Emory University in a joint edu-
cation program. Now Scott has
an independent program which
appears to be successful. Miss
Ammons feels that the Agnes
Scott student teachers as a
group, as well as individually, are
outstanding.

The attitude of the student
teachers is also enthusiastic.
Susie Parks, who teaches at
Tucker High School, says simply
of her classes, "I'm so impressed
with these kids." Gayle Daley
excitedly tells of her first gra-
ders' Easter production of
"Cindy Bunny," a take-off of
Cinderella. Virginia Uhl proudly
displays her welcome card which
proclaims "I Love You Miss
Uhl." Nancy Jones is equally
pleased about one of her second
grader's poems:

"Sticks and stones may break
my bones,

But I still love Miss Jones."

The student teachers ramble
happily on.

Weekly seminars provide a
stage for recounting experiences,
problems and escapades. Semi-
nars, which last two hours every
Wednesday afternoon, deal with
specific aspects of education.
Here the student teacher can
vent frustrations, receive helpful
criticism, and compare notes.
The topic of the first seminar
was discipline. Miss Ammons in-
tended the session to be short
"because they had been teaching
three days and were a little
glassy-eyed." Discipline, how-
ever, assumed an appeal it never
had in education classes. The ses-
sion ran full time. As Nancy
Jones says, "Experience is a
practical teacher."

Most of the candidates for dele-
gates or alternates were publicly
uncommitted. Kay believes that
her early commitment will pre-
vent her from being politically
set upon to support other candi-
dates.

Avidly pro-Muskie, Kay be-
lieves that Muskie can unify the
badly splintered Democratic
Party; though he lacks the cha-
risma of, say, John Lindsey, he
is in a position to bring the
liberal elements of the party into
a, practical coalition. If Muskie
should fail to win the Demo-
cratic nomination, Kay could
bring herself to support any
Democratic nominee other than
Governor Wallace, whom she
does not regard as a true Demo-
crat.

Whether Kay gets to see her
specific hopes realized or not, it
is certain that attending the
Democratic Convention will be
an educational and meaningful
experience.

No matter
what shape

by KAREN HALE

More than ever before, people
are discovering the need to stay
in shape, and the fun involved in
keeping your body fit. Many
people under stress, profes-
sionals, and non-professionals
alike are discovering that fitness
magnifies not only your physical
well-being, but your mental
alertness as well.

Being in shape can enhance
everything you do (you feel bet-
ter, play better, work better, stu-
dy better . . . ) and people invol-
ved at Agnes Scott are no excep-
tion to this greater interest in fit-
ness. The tennis courts are in use
more this year than ever before,
the pool is also being put to
greater use during free swim-
time. Upper classmen are volun-
tarily auditing physical educa-
tion classes this quarter, and
some students have even taken
up jogging.

The major argument in favor
of jogging is to build up cardio-
vascular endurance: to strength-
en the heart muscle, and increase
circulatory span throughout the
body. A strong heart lasts long-
er, prolonging life, and a strong
circulatory system aids physical
endurance, bringing nourishment
to tired cells. Jogging also helps
reduce fat, a major heart-
weakener, because for every
pound of excess fat, there are
twenty extra miles of blood ves-
sels and capillaries that the heart
must pump through.

Miss McKemie of the Physical
Education Department has
thought of organizing an Agnes
Scott Jogging Club, and she feels
that there is enough interest.
The jogging club would not
necessarily be a formal organi-
zation .as such, but just a group

Dance takes many forms

by NANCY McKINNEY

Dance Group's focus for this
year's Spring Concert centers on
variety. Ranging from the purely
experimental modern motives to
traditional ballet and folk ele-
ments, Dance Group intends to
present an array of dance idioms
rather than concentrate on any
one specific area of dance. The
program presents eight dances,
four of which are choreographed
by the director, Mrs. Marilyn
Pickard, and the other four by
members of Dance Group.

For an opener, a dance chore-
ographed to music by Villa-
Lobos phrases Brazilian over-
tones around a polyphonic musi-
cal structure. In another dance,
the folk motives taken from the
Mayday Festival, when young
men and women would gait
through the woods bringing
home the green, come through
in a peasant dance in the manner
of sixteenth century England as
choreographed by Betsy Ander-
son. The frolics of children are
not beyond the subject of dance
as seen by Beth Budd, who has
set children at play to the music
of Eric Satie. Religious but joy-
ous motives are dominant in J.
6. Bach's jubilee.

In the second part of the pro-
gram a collage, American-style,
depicts different phases of
American life as we know it to-
day in a suite of dance sequen-
ces. A move to the very tradi-
tional finds its place in a light
romantic ballet, "Ephimera," as
choreographed by Vicki Burgess.
At the other end of the dance
spectrum, a purely experimental
exploration of space is made
using the body only to create
shapes and to give the effect of
all dimensions in space. Finally,
a dance simply for dance's sake
and enjoyment, moving to a cur-
rently popular hit-tune, con-
cludes the program. Even Dance
Group listens to the Top Ten
Hits for ideas.

For a many-colored taste of
dance, there is much to enjoy
April 20th and 21st at 8:15 p.m.
in Gaines Auditorium.

riers in trying to reach their
goals, if their aims are high.
Where are you, Fourteenth
Amendment?

Mr. Blackburn's comment
that the Equal Rights Amend-
ment wouldn't change anything
reminds me of a conversation I
overheard recently, in which a
white woman was talking with a
black man about equal rights for
women :

He: "Well, why do you want
this amendment to become
law?"

She: "Well, you know when
you have rights, but people just
won't let you exercise them . . ."

He. "You don't have to ex
plain that to me. I know."

I believe that the ERA will
change a lew things. Amend-
ment I ourteen certainly has.

French author to speak

Nathalie Sarraute, leading
French author, will speak in
French at Emory University
Monday, April 17, at 8:15 p.m.

The public is invited to hear
Madame Sarraute speak on
"Forme et contenu du roman"
in the Biology Auditorium, Biol-
ogy Building, Room 106.

The author was born in Rus-
sia and admits that her work has
been strongly influenced by Dos-
toevsky and Chekhov. However,
she moved to France at an early
age, and received he education in
law and English literature at the
University of Paris. She also

for you, as a member, to jog
with. However jogging is not
healthy for everyone; a person
with a history of heart ailments
should see his doctor to get an
idea of what limits should be set
at the start of a jogging program,
limits that can be slowly built up
over a period of time.

Jogging is relatively easy to
do, it doesn't take a whole lot of
time, it can be done^by yourself,
or with a group of friends, it in-

spent a year at Oxford.

She is both a precursor and a
leader of "le nouveau roman" in
France, which designates not a
school of thought, but a search
for new forms in the writing of
novels.

As in the works of James
Joyce, the novelist attempts to
express the thoughts that flit
through the sub-conscious mind
and their exterior manifestation
in words and gestures. Madame
Sarraute's novels explore two
levels of reality: that of the
mind and that of appearances.

So if you decide to jog, you
need to know where you can do

block that the campus is on is

(Atlanta's

oplendored
Spring...

The Atlanta Dogwood Festival - annual herald to Atlanta's spring -
is as sure a sign of the new season as the city's thousands of white
and pink dogwood trees blossom.

Each year, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival bursts into bloom with
a week of events planned in celebration of the peak blossoming of
the dogwood. In 1972, the Dogwood Festival being held April 8-15
promises to be the most splendid ever. Mrs. Marguerite Bridges is
chairman of the 1972 Festival, being' sponsored by the Women's
Chamber of Commerce.

The Festival began officially Saturday, April 8, with the tradi-
tional Grand Parade down Peachtree Street. The parade featured
colorful floats, the Dogwood Festival Queen and Court, marchers
and bands from throughout the Southeast, the Anheuser-Busch
Clydesdale horses, bagpipers and German Shepherds.

On the second day of the Dogwood Festival, the first Atlanta
International Food Festival began at the Atlanta Civic Center.

Also a highlight of the Festival of Food are demonstrations of gas
grill cooking in the Atlanta Gas Light Company mall, 1972, will be
"April's Fair in the Square" April 15 and 16, sponsored by Southern
Regional Opera and the Italian Food Fair, flea market, continuous
entertainment, and outdoor dancing.

The city beneath the streets (Underground Atlanta) will bring the
Dogwood Festival to Atlanta of the 1800's. In Underground Atlan-
ta's Festival of Old Atlanta, spring comes to the city's historic "gas-
light district."

Activities in the Underground during Festival Week include an
Old Time Crafts Exhibit, arts festival, ice cream and watermelon
eating contests, and outdoor music concerts in Kenny's Square.

Other events of the Festival are planned to involve residential
areas as well as the urban center. The Dogwood Lighted Trails each
night of Festival Week have become famous in their own right, as
office buildings and residences "light up" to show the beauty of the
city at night. Buses leave Peachtree and Baker Streets each night of
the Festival at 7:30 p.m.

During the day, on Saturday, April 15, and Sunday, April 16, the
Egleston Tour of Homes, benefiting Henrietta Egleston Hospital for
Children, will offer an opportunity to tour 1 3 of Atlanta's beautiful
residences. The homes will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
Saturday, and from 1 to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $10 for
all 13 residences or $1.50 per home, and may be purchased at each
home.

The Morningside-Lenox Park area will offer a tour of five homes
x on Saturday, April 1 5 from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The evening tour of homes in this area has been planned specifically
to coincide with the Dogwood Lighted Trails.

Also open to the public will be Atlanta's historic Tullie Smith
House. A special exhibit of old-time arts and crafts will be held at
the House.

The Lighted Trails and tours of homes help put the spotlight on
beautification, a prime concern of the Festival and its producers, the
Women's Chamber of Commerce.

Of appeal to "children" of all ages is the "Dogwood Special"
Round-Trip Steam- Powered Locomotive Excursion to Gainesville,
Georgia on Saturday and Sunday, April 15 and 16, from 9:30 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. The ride behind the 1910 locomotive and special activi-

ties m Gainesville are sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the
National Railway Historical Society and Gainesville Chamber of
Commerce.

At Stone Mountain Park, an Arts and Crafts Festival at the Plan-
tation, five-mile scenic train ride and carillon concerts are being
featured.

The Festivals of Arts and Music add another dimension of interest
and enjoyment to the Atlanta Dogwood Festival. The Festival of.
Music was highlighted by a concert by Miss Marilyn Dietrichs, sopra-
no, with the Agnes Scott Glee Club, at the Governor's Mansion at 8
p.m., Monday, April 10. Music can be heard throughout the city in
corner concerts, and the Petal Concerts at Lenox Square during the
Week feature elementary school bands. The Atlanta Dixieland Jazz
Society and other groups are performing in Underground Atlanta.

Many art events throughout the city highlight the Festival of
Arts. An exhibit of Boehm porcelain at the Colony Square Gallery,
Peachtree Mall, will be an outstanding first-time event for Atlanta
and the Festival. The exhibit will feature the famous "bird of Peace"
porcelain sculpture. In connection with the appearance of the exhi-
bit in Atlanta during the Festival, a special dogwood porcelain sculp-
ture was produced by Boehm for presentation to the Mayor of
Atlanta.

An annual exhibit in Atlanta during the Festival is the National
Print Exhibit at the First National Bank Tower. One of the leading
events of its kind in the United States, the Third Annual Exhibit will
include work by artists from throughout the nation, with $1,500
awarded in purchase prizes.

The many outstanding arts exhibits during the Festival include a
display of U.S. Marines Corps combat art at the Fulton National
Bank's office in the Coastal States Building, and a display of art by
inmates of the United State Penitentiary, in the Fulton National
Bank's main office and the Georgia Power Company.

The Festival of Gems and Minerals at Fulton Federal Savings and
Loan Association will feature the Gems and Minerals of the World
Museum, original design jewelry by students from Georgia State Uni-
versity, "sculptured money", and flower arrangements using gems.

Artists galleries and academies have planned special showings of
their works. Theatrical highpoints include the presentation of "The
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" by the Alliance Theatre which runs
through April 1 5. The High Museum of Art will offer a "Free for All
Weekend" with special events April 15 and 16 in connection with
the opening of their "The Modern Image" exhibit.

A major event which offers a chance for widespread active partici-
pation in the Festival is the Photo Contest. Open to amateur and
professional, the contest will award a $150 first prize, $75 second
prize and $50 third prize, with additional awards. Deadline for entry
of slides or prints of blossoms, scenes or Festival activities is May 1 5.

With these events and many more, the Festival is many-faceted, as
well as Many-Splendored. Its varied activities reflect the love of
Atlantans for their city, its famous flower and its spring.

Information about these and other events is available from the
Women's Chamber of Commerce, 1101 Commerce Building, Atlanta,
Georgia 30303. Telephone (404) 577-2581. During Festival Week,
Dogwood Festival Information Booths are located at Underground
Atlanta, Peachtree Center, Five Points, and other points throughout
the city.

April 27, 1972

Canadian
to speak

on Camus

Daltons establish art fund

by JOYCE

"A New Interpretation of
L'Etranger" will be presented by
Dr. Bryan Fitch in Dana Theater
at 8:15 p. m. on Tuesday, May
2.

The lecture on the first novel
of Albert Camus, to be given in
English, will be followed by a
question/answer session.

Dr. Fitch is the acting head of
the French Department of Trin-
ity College of the University of
Toronto. His books include
Narrateur et Narration dans
L'Etranger a" Albert Camus and
Le Sentiment d'etrangete chez
Malraux, Sartre, Camus et
Simone de Beauvoir.

L'Etranger was published in
1942 during the German occu-
pation of France. A young office
clerk in Algeria recounts his re-
action to the death of his
mother, the events leading to his
killing of an Arab on the beach,
his trial, and his wait in prison
for execution. The novel's con-
cern is for purpose in life in the
20th century.

This search for value and
meaning in life continued in the
other novels and plays of Camus
including Le My the de Sisyphe,
Caligula, Le Malentendu, La
Peste, and La Chute. Camus re-
ceived the Nobel Prize for liter-
ature in 1957. He was working

McKEE

on another novel, Le Premier
Homme, when he was killed in
an automobile accident in 1960.

Dr. Fjtch was born in Eng-
land. He studied at the Univer-
sity of Durham, England and
also at the universities at Stras-
bourg and Bordeaux. Before
coming to Toronto, Dr. Fitch
taught at the University of Man-
chester. The lecturer is a visiting
scholar sponsored by the Uni-
versity Center.

L

Yale scholar lectures

The English Group of the Uni-
versity Center in Georgia has in-
vited Professor R. W. B. Lewis to
come as guest lecturer to the
Center for three days, May 3-5.
Mrs. Pepperdene is Chairman of
the English Group for 1971-72
and Agnes Scott is the host insti-
tution for the lecture series.

There will be a University
Center dinner at the Druid Hills
Golf Club on the night of Wed-
nesday, May 3. Professor Lewis
will address the English Group at
that dinner.

On Thursday evening, May 4,
Professor Lewis will speak at

Agnes Scott. On that occasion
the subject of his talk will be:
"Questions of Literary Biogra-
phy: Edith Whatron."

Professor R. W. B. Lewis is a
most distinguished scholar in the
fields of American, English, and
modern European literature. He
holds the A. B. degree from
Harvard University, the M. A.
and Ph. D. degrees from the Uni-
versity of Chicago, and the D.
Litt. from Wesleyan University.

He has written numerous
books in his fields, including The
American Adam, The Picaresque

!#1

Saint, and Trials of the Word. He
has edited Herman Melville: a
Reader. He is now working on a
biography of Edith Wharton.

Prof. Lewis is presently Pro-
fessor of English and American
Studies at Yale University and
has served as consultant for Uni-
versal Pictures since 1966.

the Harry L. Dalton Foundation
is contributing to Agnes Scott
College a very generous gift of
stock for the purpose of estab-
lishing a capital fund to be
known as the Mary Keesler
Dalton Purchasing Fund. The
income from this fund is to be
used to purchase fine pictures
for the galleries in the Dana Fine
Arts Building which bear the
Dalton name.

This permanent fund is set up
so that money could be allowed
to accumulate to purchase es-
pecially good pictures. Mr.
Dalton would rather see quality
than quantity in the collection.
Dr. Alston stated that the gift is
a great encouragement to
building an excellent art col-
lection at Agnes Scott.

Mr. and Mrs. Dalton have pre-
viously given to the College our
valuable Harry L. Dalton Per-
manent Collection, and we are
currently enjoying an exhibition
of paintings, drawings, and
sculpture on loan from their
private collection.

Mrs. Dalton (Mary Keesler)
and the Daltons' daughter, Betsy
(Mrs. R. Alfred Brand, III), are
graduates of Agnes Scott.

ASC and Ga. State
to cooperate in
summer research

PBK

With funds from the National
Science Foundation the depart-
ments of chemistry at Agnes
Scott College and Georgia State
University will engage in a coop-
erative activity this summer
under the Foundation's "Under-
graduate Research Participation
Program".

This program provides an ed-
ucational experience based upon
the student's participation as a
co-worker in an established
research program in one of the
departments. It will also include
bi-weekly seminars held alter-
nately on the two campuses for
the group of six selected
students and their research ad-
visers.

The funds granted will
provide, in addition to operating
and overhead expense, a stipend
of $800 for each student par-
ticipant in the ten-week
program. The objective is to give
a student, while an under-
graduate, an opportunity to ex-
perience for himself a period of
full-time research activity in the
company of others similarly
engaged.

Places in the program are
open not only to qualified
students from ASC and GSU but
from other schools as well.

While the program between
the two departments is truly col-
laborative in every respect,
Agnes Scott has the respon-
sibility for administrative details
of the program this summer. In
the grant Dr. Marion T. Clark is
named Project Director and Dr.
David Boykin of Georgia State
will coordinate the work in that
departments

The chemistry departments
of both schools have a history of
involving undergraduates in sig-
nificant pieces of research. Over
ten years ago Dr. W. J. Frierson
of the ASC department, in his
pioneering work in analysis by
chromatography received
support from NSF for work by
ASC students during the
summers and last year Dr. Alice
Cunningham with Betty
Shannon Hall was engaged in a
joint program with GSU similar
to the one for the coming sum-
mer.

MAIL ROOM

A modest proposal

In one episode of Winnie-the-Pooh .Piglet climbs through LETTERS
ONLY after Owl's house has blown down in a storm in order to
rescue his friends. I am fearful that if Piglet tried such a feat during
the "rush hours" in the Agnes Scott mai/room, he would never get
through the crowd.

Although this change is of no real earth-shattering consequences I
feel there could be many advantages in having the mail room moved
to the Hub. The present facilities seem extremely adequate, and
the move could involve some rather complicated interior construc-
tion. However, if at all feasible, the change might bring with it many
advantages.

The after-class rush could be largely avoided, as students would
most likely check their boxes on the way back to the dorm; this
does not occur for so many all at once. The faculty members could
find the relocation somewhat inconvenient, but perhaps the exercise
would do them good.

Also, the move would serve to focus even more activity in the
Hub. Its role as a student center would become even more firmly
established. People would have a real reason to go to the Hub, and
increased opportunity for student-student and student-faculty inter-
action would be available. Just a few people sitting down with their
letters and a cup of coffee could make for some very pleasant con-
versation.

Well, it's an idea, and if at all feasible, I'd like to see the college
consider it.

nature about the school is asked to put it in writing and send it to
Resa Harris. The Spirit Committee will seek out the proper sources,
and publish the question and its answer in the next Profile.

Student petitions

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following petitions were prepared bv ivur
students independent of any campus organization and with the pur-
pose of benefiting all the students. Opportunity to sign them is
provided in the dining hall during meals. The petitions are reprinted
here to enable students to examine the proposals more closely. The
views expressed are not necessarily those ot this paper

open dorms

f. We recommend an active, responsible group of
students, financial board, and cafeteria staff to
a. Agnes Scott is NOT a progressive institution lib- meet at regular intervals to discuss and to plan
eral enough to consider the present changing future menus and to consider present suggestions
norms within today's society. and complaints.

b. Open dorm policies would demand the same
honor system respect and also offer privileges and
responsibilities as in the academic field.

c. Open dorm system would be a highly controlled
situation regarding who, where, and how long male
visitors may be in the rooms.

d. Use the fall quarter of the 1972 session as a
testing period in which the efficiency of open
dorms and regarding rules are observed and recon-
sidered for permanent installation.

t. Voting will occur within each individual dorm
on whether or not that specific dorm will be open
for male visitors.

f. Regarding the security of the dorms, the visitor
will be required to sign-in in the presence of his
hostess.

i. During the testing period, open dorm hours will
be for a iimited time on certain weekends.

g. We recommend a suggestion box placed in the
cafeteria, made open to all students and guests
who have either positive or negative comments.
This will let the staff know if their current menus
are successful.

h. Upon the improvement of food quality, we will
be willing to show our student I. D.'s in order to
gain entrance to the cafeteria line.

infirmary

drinking

a. In regard to the reuent change in the State of
Georgia's drinking law which lowers the legal
drinking age to 18, we feel that we are entitled to
enjoy the benefits of this new state law.

b. In regard to the question of Agnes Scott's repu-
tation being at stake if drinking is permitted on
campus or at campus functions, the fact is that
Mary Baldwin, Randolph-Macon, and Mount Holy-
oke, all highly respected women's colleges, cur-
rently have successful drinking policies without
any loss of community respect.

c. Drinking policy will be strictly under the Honor
System in that drinking will be permitted only at
approved social functions on the campus.

d. School sponsored parties allowing alcoholic bev-
erages will help achieve a greater enthusiasm for
participation in campus activities.

cafeteria changes

a. Mrs. Saunders is presently trying to operate a
successful food program without any knowledge
of her specific food budget. She has informed us
that she is not sure if she is under or overspending.

b. The business office should clearly state the cafe-
teria staff's specific monthly spending budget.
With this knowledge they could more adeptly plan
our meals.

c. Money is wasted on superfluous toods-multi-
desserts, expensive garnishes (mushrooms, avoca-
dos, ice cream). Instead, reroute this money into
better main courses, limiting the variety and quan-
tity in order to achieve quality.

d. More effective cooking methods are advised to
eliminate grease, undercooking, overcooking.

e. It is psychologically and physically vital to
enjoy our meals since they are so important to our
health and well-being and therefore important in
maintaining the academic excellence required at
Agnes Scott.

Whereas the medical service provided by the in-
firmary is often inadequate and creates a hazard to
the health and well being of the students.

Whereas there have been unnecessary delays in
treatment, improper diagnoses of illnesses, delayed
and negligent referrals, all to the physical, mental
and financial detriment of numerous patients and

Whereas the staff is either uninterested or i^ .o-
rant of many areas of medical practice, and
whereas said staff appears to the students to have a
generally unsympathetic attitude toward them,
and specifically has shown an unwarranted im-
patience and lack of concern for student patients

We hereby petition for a competent general
practitioner who will be on call when needed and
that the services of a gynecologist be made avail-
able at least once a week.

practical courses

Whereas the women graduating from Agnes
Scott College have not been provided with any
practical courses in order to be able to function in
today's complex society and

Whereas such practical courses could promote a
better community spirit and inspire a more active
student body

We hereby petition that we would like an or-
ganization (such as B. S. A.) to provide the stu-
dents of the college with some extra-curricular
courses such as:

1 . auto mechanics

2. basic electrical principles

3. consumerism

4. basic economics (for instance, income tax filing)

5. sewing

6. typing

7. cooking

8. self defense

or other suggested possibilities.

After at least 300 and hopefully 400 students have
signed each of the above, the petitions will be pre-
sented to Rep Council and the Administrative
Council.

Opportunity to sign will continue for about an-
other week. If anyone cannot come to the dining
hall, but would like to sign any of the petitions,
the are asked to contactoneof the following:

Swiss author
reads works

The Swiss short story" writer,
Peter Bichsel, visited the Agnes
Scott campus Monday night,
April 17, to read, in German, se-
lections from his works.

The stories, included in many
anthologies, are basically exis-
tentialist and deal with the bore-
dom, loneliness, and purpose-
lessness Mr. Bichsel sees in
modern man. The small, slightly
rumpled author has published se-
veral collections of stories in-
cluding Actually Mrs. Bloom

Would Like to Meet the Milk-
man, Seasons, Children 's Stories,
The Swiss's Switzerland, and a
radio play, Summary of Bore-
dom.

The nervous, very intense
writer answered questions fol-
lowing the reading. His visit was
sponsored by Pro-Helvetia, a
Swiss society, and the Goethe
Institute of Munich. Mr.
Bichsel's hosts were Georgia
State University, Emory Univer-
sity, and Agnes Scott.

Taking the pain
out of sun and fun

Glee Club
Concert

Here comes the sun . . . and
perhaps also the burn.

What if anything can be done
for sunburn? All too many of us
painfully want to know the
answer to this question.

The best medicine is of
course preventive. Anyone
wanting a tan should build up
slowly staying each day a little
longer in the sun. Although it's
very hard to resist the warm
rays, the power of the sun can
easily be underestimated. There-
fore one should probably begin
with no more than 15 minutes
on each side or even as few as

five if one has an especially fair
complexion.

A good suntan lotion can be
used to prevent burning. Any
flexions in the body such as the
knee joint are especially suscep-
tible to burn and should be given
extra protection. The eyes, too,
should be protected at all times
with wet cotton or the like since
they are very sensitive.

If one does become burned,
there are commercially sold
creams, sprays, and lotions
which may be used to ease the
pain. Dr. Peltz, the college phy-
sician, recommends creams over

the other preparations, and the
greasier and more lubricating the
better. A good home remedy for
sunburn pain is a warm bath
with sodium bicarbonate in the
water this can have a soothing
effect.

If chills develop from too
much sun, one should just try to
keep warm. A person should also
drink plenty of liquids after
being in the sun for long
stretches of time.

Not getting an overexposure
is important as sunburn is some-
thing that often just has to be
suffered through.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club's
Spring Concert will be presented
on Thursday evening, April 27,
at 8:1 5 in Gaines. The theme of
the concert is to be "Music from
Western Continents" and will be
divided into three parts: the first
is sacred music, including Bach's
Magnificat; in the second part
the Madrigal Singers will present
madrigals from England, France,
and the Netherlands; finally, the
third part will consist of secular
music-for instance, Three Dog
Night's Joy to the World. The
campus community is invited to
attend.

who gets how much and what from whom'

Julian Bond speaks on American politics

U, 1/ A V DIMPI/MCV

by KAY PINCKNEY

Julian Bond, member of the
Georgia House of Represen-
tatives, District 111; vice- presi-
dential noncandidate of the
Democratic Party in 1968; and a
leader of the liberal coalition in
the Georgia delegation to the '72
Convention, lectured here re-
cently on the subject of "Black
Americans in Politics." He gave a
brief summary of the black Am-
erican's non-progress from 1619
to the present day here in the
land of the free. Borrowing from
the famous quote about George
Washington, Mr. Bond observed
that black people in America
have always been "first in war,
last in peace, and seldom in the
hearts of their countrymen."

Rejecting the political science
doctrine that politics in America
is the "art of the possible,"
Bond suggested a new definition.
Politics is the answer to the
question, "Who gets how much
and what from whom?"

He foresees that there will al-
ways be two major political
parties in America "the Dem-
ocrans and the Republicrats."
For the November election he
will accept a Democratic Presi-
dential candidate who desires to
"eliminate" Richard Nixon and
refuses to take the black voter
for granted. Will the Democratic
nominee give jobs and power to
black people?

Answering the perennial ques-
tion, "How do you feel about
busing?", Bond suggested that
we need class integration to
achieve equal education. He ex-
plained this by pointing out that
a "neighborhood school" in a
neighborhood of bankers would
naturally be superior to a neigh-
borhood school in a neighbor-
hood of janitors at banks.
Money inflow into schools must
be equalized from the bottom
up if we are to begin to have
equal education for all.

Rep. Bond, an occasional poet,
closed his remarks with the fol-
lowing rather cryptic couplet,
entitled, "Why Some People Say

Those Things About Other
People."

"Watch that girl shake that
thing;

We can't all be Martin Luther
King."

The Georgia legislator left
Agnes Scott to return to Selma,
Alabama, where he was con-
ducting a voter registration
drive. A court injunction was
issued to allow a march in
Selma, in conjunction with the
drive, in memory of Dr. King's
march there in 1965. There were
no incidents.

julian Bond may be a politi-
cian, but it seems to me that he
is not just talking the talk, but is
walking the walk for freedom.

Foreign
language

plays win

On April 14, Agnes Scott Col-
lege was among many colleges
and universities attending Dio-
nysia, a foreign language drama
contest sponsored by Clemson
University. Clemson organized
the contest with the goal of
stimulating interest in foreign
languages, and the contest
sported entries in four lan-
guages: French, German,
Russian, and Spanish. Repre-
sentatives from Agnes Scott
went to Clemson, competed in
the French and Russian cate-
gories, and returned with several
prizes.

There were five entries in the
French competition. Performing
in Scott's French entry were:
Sarah Brooke, Janice Burr,
Helen DeWitt, India Culpepper,
and Cindy Morris. Sarah Brooke
was acclaimed best actress for
her role. Performing in Scott's
Russian entry were Katrina Van
Duyn, Karen Hale, Linda Maloy,
and Linda Parsons were both
recognized as best actress, and
Katrina Van Duyn was runner-
up. Miss Allen, Miss Steele, and
Mr. Volkoff accompanied the
Agnes Scott students to
Clemson.

The ''male" actors from
Agnes Scott did not compete for
best actor. Scott's lack of male
actors was greeted with amuse-
ment, and the sight of Scott stu-
dents with sideburns and mous-
taches triggered much laughter.
Sarah Brooke believes the ab-
sence of male actors was a great
disadvantage for Scott, but four
prizes seem to indicate the ab-
sence was not a severe handicap.
The foreign language students
represented Scott well.

Bogus Hitler quote employs reverse psychology

The following interesting quote
floats about over the campus
here and elsewhere: "The streets
of our country are in turmoil.
The universities are filled with
students rebelling and rioting.
Communists are seeking to
destroy our country. Russia is
threatening us with her might
and the republic is in danger.
Yes, danger from within and
without. We need law and
order." (Adolf Hitler, 1932,
Hamburg, Germany.)

Despite the hoopla, the quote
is bogus, as National Review

maintains. The quote's
phoniness is demonstrable, for it
pays scant heed to historical
details. For instance, the state-
ment describes Russia as "threat-
ening . . . with her might." In
reality, Hitler described "Bol-
shevism", not Russia herself as
threatening; then Russia was not
powerful enough to threaten.

Hitler is also shown tearfully
lamenting danger to the Weimar
Republic; the truth is that he
openly detested the Republic.

The final evidence of the
quote's non-authenticity con-
cerns the clause about "students

by ANGELYN McGUFF

rebelling and rioting." In 1932,
the supposed year of the state-
ment, the only rioting students
were Hitler's own Brown Shirts,
and Hitler surely would not have
bemoaned them. His audiences
were well aware of the fascist
identity of the rioters, so he
could not have been pretending
that the henchmen were not his
own.

Therefore, the quote's bogus-
ness is well-established. Both
liberal and conservative media
tried frantically to trace its real
author. They traced the quote as
far as Professor Larry Adams of

the Political Science Department
at the University of California;
but he does not remember its
original source. So the real au-
thorship remains unknown.

But the question arises; Why
did someone make up this gen-
u-wine Hitler quote? The reader
please observe that the quote
sounds like something Spiro
Agnew might have said, until
one gets to the end, when, oh
shocks, the statement is attri-
buted to Hitler. One is supposed
to see a connection between
Hitler in Germany in 1932 and

Conservatives in America in
1972. By reverse psychology,
the quote is designed to edge its
reader liberalward, for few
people want to hold Hitlerian-
sounding beliefs. Yet there must
be little similarity between
American conservatives and
German fascists; otherwise the
author would not be reduced to
making up his evidence.

The fact remains that most
people innocently accepted the
concocted quote. In this polit-
cally voracious age, one must not
ask, "Who said it?", but "Who
said who said it?"

musical comedy

First Impressions involves
Scott students & faculty

This spring Blackfriars is pre-
senting a musical comedy, First
Impressions, which is based on
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Aus-
ten. This is the first time that a
production with such a wide
scope has been attempted by
Blackfriars. It involves many
aspects of the arts; not only the
talents of actors but of singers,
dancers, and musicians as well. A
larger segment of the campus is
involved than ever before in a
Blackfriars production.

The involvement begins with
the faculty. Mr. Matthews has
been invaluable in giving advice
about the musical aspects of the
production, and with all her
work on the Dance Group con-
cert, Mrs. Pickard is still finding
time to do the choreography for
the show. Blackfriars is also
pleased to have both Mr. Parry
and Mr. Webber in the cast and
Mr. Wolters in the orchestra. But
of course we could do nothing
without the hard work of the
Speech and Drama department
faculty. Miss Elvena Green is di-
recting First Impressions, Miss
Jerry Rentz is designing the
scenery and overseeing the tech-
nical aspects of the show, and
Miss Roberta Winter is the busi-
ness manager.

Three positions of major re-
sponsibility and importance are
being filled by students. Sally
Martin is the show's musical
director, Liz Lee is the con-
ductor, and Pat Austin is spend-
ing long hours in the Costume
Room trying to realize her cos-
tume designs. There are many
students working both onstage
and off. Sixteen women are in
the cast and chorus, many of
whom will be making their
Agnes Scott stage debut, and
about half of the orchestra con-
sists of Scott students.

But there are still the often
forgotten students who are
working diligently behind the
scenes building the sets, sewing
costumes, running lights, making
up the actresses, finding the
props, selling tickets, planning
the program, etc. Without stu-
dent help in these areas, the
musical can never reach the
stage, despite all the talents and
efforts of the directors and per-
formers. Many students arc help-
ing on more than one committee
(i.e. hammering out frustrations
in the shop when all the taffeta
and lace tor forty period cos-
tumes becomes too much to
take).

Those students who are work-
ing with Blackfriars for the first
time this quarter are finding that
it can he lots of tun. It you
would also like to come work,
help is needed on the following
committees: Props (contact Gigi
L a u ghri d ge ) , Programs (Ann
Fincher), Make-Up (Karen At-
kinson), Box Office (Ruth Ben-
near), Costumes (Pat Austin),

Scenery (Martha Howard), and
Stage Crew (Miss Rentz).

The production is scheduled
for May 17-20, which is only

three weeks away. We'd all ap-
preciate it if you'd come over to
Dana, and you might even have
fun.

In this time of life's emerging
From the grayness to the green,
I walk the paths of Agnes,
Glimpsing sights before unseen.

Where I once was full of indolence
And tired of being bored,
I come upon a hidden realm
Within these brick walls stored.

Unbeknownst to guests within her,
While on Sundays they sit dining,
Dear Letitia bears nude maidens
On each side of her, reclining.

Latin verses deck a window sill
On Buttrick 's second floor.
(Though you bend and strain to read it,
You will only end up sore.)

Why not owl? or balding bird?
A phoenix, now, for instance?
A pelican and can it be?
That graces But trick's entrance?

On to Presser, here I wonder
At the corner creatures peering
From their niches in the woodwork,
Out of human sound and hearing.

Arched above me, as my footsteps
Shuffle on toward Campbell Hall,
Comes a vision of mitosis
Stretched across the building's wall!

Dana bears no pelicans,
No wide-eyed owls, no squirrels
From behind its weeping willows
Stare the strangest looking girls!

I 'd keep hard at my writing,
But the eve is turning old;
Besides, the child upon my lap
Now shivers in the cold . . .

The Godfather, a favorable review

by NINA SOTOLONGO

"Violent," "brutal," "fascinat-
ing," "shocking" and many
others are typical adjectives at-
tributed to "The Godfather."
One of the most controversial
films of our times, this versatile
production of Mario Puzo's best-
seller expresses surprisingly and
uncompromisingly the many
facets of a certain organization
whose name is never mentioned
in the film but which neverthe-
less is known to us all. Better
yet, "The Godfather" shows us
the human beings behind the
machine: how they think, how
they feel, and most interesting
of all, how and why they work.

Leaving aside one's personal
beliefs and ideals, and treating

the movie as a work of art, it is
rather impossible to call it any-
thing other than "excellent."
Astonishingly, the actors picked
for the different roles, have been
chosen extremely well: they suit
and depict the characters as if
the various personalities in the
book had stepped out and into
the bodies of actors Marlon
Brando, James Caan, and Al
Pacino, to mention only a few.

The atomosphere is one of
morbid and bitter-sweet identifi-
cation with the whole of the
movie: the people, the times,
and the circumstances.

"The Godfather" has been
criticized and demoralized by a
few people's saying that "such a

film serves only to incite and
provoke the already-perverted
minds of this day and age." It
seems to me that such criticisms
are unfair, biased, and out of
place to say the least, for if

those minds are already "perver-
ted" it would take very little, if
nothing at all, to provoke them.
Also, those critics seem to forget
that many a war film with far

by Daniel Petrie, screenplay by Lorraine Hansberry based on her
play, and starring Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil, Ruby Dee and
Diana Sands.

What happens to the secret dreams of a South Side Chicago Black
family when they receive a life insurance check for $10,000? Lang-
ston Hughes' poem asks' "What happens to a dream deferred? Does
it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or does it fester like a sore - and
then run? . . . Maybe it sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?"
All these possibilities are explored with a perception that kept
"Raisin" running as a Broadway play for 530 performances and won
the coveted Drama Critic's Circle Award.

THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD - Ireland, 1963 (99

Synge, and starring Siobhan McKenna, Gary Raymond, Elspeth
March and Michael O'Briain.

(continued from page 4)
more violence in it, if perhaps
expressed in a somewhat lighter
tone, has been widely acclaimed
and praised as "fine pieces of
work." Let not the emotions of
our hearts blind the judgments
of our minds.

As a work of art "The God-
father" exhibits powerful ability
and talent in the fields of acting
and directing. It is truly amazing

to see so well accomplished the
difficult task of transferring
(with very few omissions) the
paper to the screen.

"The Godfather" is a film
everyone should see and inter-
pret wisely. The so called "vio-
lence and brutality" in it may
just represent something other
than themselves. Has that alter-
native ever occurred to anyone?

Synge's classic comedy, THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN
WORLD, flourishes its exuberant Irish humor in the person of
Siobhan McKenna. A stranger falsely asserts the brave murder of his
tyrannic father and is proclaimed a hero and romantic idol of the
girls in a small village. The Gaelic fun bursts into violence when the
father turns up and the girls turn off.

been re-set in the space age, preserving all the whimsy and suspense
of the original.

DR. HEIDEGGER'S EXPERIMENT (22 min. color). This film coor-

Jobs

Although the job outlook for
next June's college graduates is
far from bright, two or three
national surveys have found it is
likely to be better than last
year's. The third survey con-
cluded that jobs would be as
hard to find as in 1971 - and
perhaps even harder.

Despite the more positive
findings in the two other sur-
veys, those who conducted them
are not all that encouraged. The
College Placement Council, a
federation of regional placement
associations, cautions pros-
pective graduates not to get their
hopes up too much. It notes that
even with the increases in ex-
pected job openings, the total is
still far below the peak figures of
several years ago. Overall, the
gains are not nearly enough to
make up for last year's depressed
situation.

Grant

received

for star
gazing

The Bradley Foundation has
made _a generous grant of
$12,000 to the department of
Physics and Astronomy at Agnes
Scot I. According to Mr. George
H. Folsom, Assistant Professor
o! Physics and Astronomy, it
will be used in general to encour-
age and aid the study of astron-
omy with the purchase of new
equipment.

Specific plans include mod-
ernization of the 30-inch tele-
scope for lab work and research
by advanced students. Two
smaller telescopes have been pur-
chased already, making it pos-
sible for each to be used by a
smaller number of students.

New equipment will give stu-
dents opportunities to pfroto-
graph and measure the size and
distance of stars.

Part of the grant will be used
for a new calculator for both
physics and astronomy. Students
working on lab experiments in
physics will be able to use the
calculator to reduce experiment
data and solve problems.

The Council will meet once a

nual meeting will permit each

Dean Jones commented that
Scott is "fortunate that Dr.
Hendee consented to come on a
weekly basis to operate the
Gynecological Counseling Serv-
ice." He is the chief of staff of
gynecology and obstetrics at
Emory University Hospital and
associate professor of gyne-
cology and obstetrics of the
Emory School of Medicine. Dr.
Hendee received his under-

Dr. Freeman received both of

vision of prenatal pathology at
Emory Medical School and
Grady Hospital.

dorms.

This year, as last year, there
will be number drawings tor se-
lection priority. However, the
procedure has been changed.
The ' time that the Treasurer's
Office received a student's regis-
tration money will determine
the priority for number selec-
tion. For registration fees sent
before January 1, numbers will
be drawn with others in the first
group from the class. If the
money was received before Feb-
ruary 1, the student is a member
of the second group that will
draw. If the registration fee was
received after February 1 , then
each student is placed in the
third group, whose numbers will
be assigned.

In addition to the changes in
number-drawing procedure, next
year every dorm (with the ex-
ception of Main and Hopkins)
will have freshmen. Approxi-
mately one-third of each dorm
will be freshmen: 30 in Rebekah
and 30 in Inman, 50 in Walters
and 5 0 in Winship. Certain
rooms are reserved on each floor
for freshmen and cannot be re-
quested by upperclassmen.
These rooms were chosen by
Rep. Council and Intcrdorm,
and are the rooms least re-
quested by returning upperclass-
men.

In the Hub there is a large
bulletin board with floor plans
of every dorm. On it the rooms
chosen by Dorm Council, the
Resident-Assistants, certain
board chairmen, and the rooms
reserved for freshmen are indi-
cated. Students may choose the

Interpreting

the results

Some of the results of the Self-Study questionnaire relating to aca-
demics are found printed on this page. Although students and facul-
ty alike indicate in general that they are satisfied with the present
academic program, they would like to see some changes.

Flexibility and the addition of further dimensions to the educa-
tional experience seem to be the key factors. Anything that will add
these to the Scott program seems desirable, or at least desired.

The responses were strongly in favor of Scott entering into an
exchange program with other schools, encouraging the junior-year-
abroad program, and expanding its own academic summer-abroad
program.

Added dimensions in education are sought not only through these
outside programs, but also in the Scott program itself.

While the faculty are pretty well divided over their choice of
calendar system, a little more than 50% of the students answering
the question favored the 4-1-4. This system, of the ones listed, has
perhaps the greatest flexibility inherent in it, although the other
systems could also lend themselves to an increased flexibility.

Field work and course related experiences were looked upon fa-
vorably by the students. (Please note that the faculty were given a
different third alternative than the students so that the two sets of
percentages cannot really be correlated in this particular instance.)

The students indicated that they want more career-oriented and
professional courses, while the faculty are generally not in favor of
such offerings. The students' response probably stems in part from
the present "clutch" in this country over finding a job college grad-
uates are no longer snatched up by employers as soon as they leave
the college grounds. I believe that were the job market presently not
so tight, the response of the students to this question would be more
in line with that of the faculty.

Yet the unemployment problem is not likely to improve over-
night. The question did not specify whether or not these courses
would be for tredit. Generally, I think most people thought that
they were to be for credit. However, as the student petitions printed
in the last issue of the Profile brought out, perhaps some extracurric-
ular professional courses could be sponsored. If people have the time
to fake them, then non-credit courses of this type might please
cwryone concerned-both the students and the school.

The questionnaire further brought out the possibility of interdis-
< iplinary courses. The students replied with a strong 93. 19% in favor
of such courses. The history of the French language; the chemical
basis behind different techniques in art; the art, history, and philoso-
phy of the Renaissance the imagination can run wild with ideas for
such courses.

People ge tie rally seem to feel that some requirements are neces-
sary, but more flexibility should be available. Instead of specifying a
few courses that will satisfy the requirement, the trend seems to be
to make sure that everyone experiences each of the disciplines on
the college Ie\ef. but that the exact course, where possible, can be
left open.

Intei departmental majors also seem to be generally favored, or
even the official recognition of a double maior if a student has
earned them both.

In conclusion, the questionnaire seems to indicate that the aca-
demic program is heading in the right direction-moving toward
greater flexibility and added dimensions. It may take awhile, but at
least the direction ot movement >eem>. for the time, to be the right

That's Right! The Scotties ac-
cepted to participate in the Sum-
mer Study Abroad Program now
being planned will probably stay
at a convent. Any Agnes Scott
student is eligible. There is no re-
quired grade point average or
prerequisite courses. Courses will
be offered in Roman Art and Ar-
chitecture and the Art of the
Italian Renaissance and will be
taught by Miss Zenn and Mrs.
Pepe respectively. (See 1972 cat-
alogue and supplement for de-
scription of courses). Two other
adults well acquainted with the
city will accompany the group.

The courses will include lec-

ally in museums and at archae-
ological and architectural sites in

sites and many others will be vi-
sited and include such well

Never have the Georgia
people actually participated in
the party-that is, not until the
election of delegates and alter-
nates to the Democratic Nation-
al Convention took place in dis-
trict conventions around the
state on March 1 1 . Among other-
party loyalists, Charles Kirbo,
Chairman of the Democratic
Party in Georgia, went down to
defeat that day. Manuel Maloof,
member of the Democratic ex-
ecutive committees of DeKalb
County and of Georgia, lost his
bid for a delegate seat from the
4th Congressional District. He
ran committed to Muskie, but
was defeated by a student coali-
tion for Senator George Mc-
Govern.

Since the Muskie campaign is
now dormant and perhaps dying,
Manuel has switched his alle-
giance. He feels that Muskie has
done badly because he is a "cen-
trist" in the Democratic Party
during a time when people have
been voting for candidates who
express strong opinions to the
left or right of center. Centrists
appear to have no definite opin-
ions at all. Now Manuel hopes

Then on Monday, May 15, in
Gaines, numbers will be drawn
by all returning students. Each
student will find a card with her
name and group number already
on it. The number she has drawn
will be added, and she will fill in
her choice of a single, double, or
triple room along with two
choices for the area in which she
wishes to live, and her room-

mate. The entire back of the
card is for comments. One can
request certain friends to be on
her hall; however, it is not guar-
anteed that these wishes will be
fulfilled.

One's chances depend upon
what one requests. For a mem-
ber of the third group who
wants a single, chances are rather
slim, as the number of students
requesting singles has risen over
the last few years.

that Kennedy could "beat

Defeating the Nixon Adminis-
tration is the main concern of
most staunch Democrats, in-
cluding Mr. Maloof, in this elec-
tion year. He thinks that Rich-
ard Nixon is the greatest of all
threats to the United States. The
strong partisan opined that "the
man [Nixon] hasn't got a moral
in his body" and that the incum-
bent President would do any-
thing to get re-elected.

Asked for his opinion on the
prospects in the upcoming Geor-
gia senate race, Maloof replied
that they certainly were a boring
lot of candidates. (Incumbent

The number of members has
been kept small so that a worth-

stated that the number is likely

Other colleges often have

Council becomes
a major board

by CHRISTINE CLARK

Agnes Scott's Fine Arts Council
has now become a major board
through action of Rep. Council
on April 4. President Betsy
Haynes said that this change
gives Arts Council the same sta-
tus and consideration as the
other boards.

According to Betsy, the coun-
cil was organized after other
boards had been formed. At
first, it was a small coordinating
body with a small budget. As a
member of B.S.A. it has always
been on an equal basis with
other boards. Also, it has been
given equal consideration on
Rep. Council. However, candi-
dates for the president of the

council could not give speeches
during elections. Betsy said that
as a result of the change in sta-
tus, candidates will now be able
to give speeches and the chair-
man will be installed at the offi-
cer installation ceremony.

Betsy emphasized that it is
important for students to take
an interest in the events that
Arts Council sponsors. "There's
a lot of opportunity that they
don't take advantage of," she
said. She feels that if students
would participate, the programs
and lectures would provide a
"stimulus for discussion" and
would help make the campus at-
mosphere a more intellectual
one.

First Impressions

by ANN FINCHER

Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy

Mrs. Bennett and Lady Lucas

May 17- 20

8:15 p.m.
Dana theatre

Show time is one week away,
and First Impressions, Black-
friars ' spring production is in re-
hearsal. Cast, costumers, design-
ers, directors, committee mem-
bers everyone is intensely aware
that the show opens on Wednes-
day, May I 7. The production is
running smoothly as far as shows
run, and if actors, and seam-
stresses, and designers, and di-
rectors and committee members
seem a little breathless all the
time, the cause for the breath-
lessness may be best explained
by the worn cliche: "That's
show biz. "

For the cast of First Impres-
sions, rehearsals began in early
April. For the directors, rehear-
sals began months ago when the
Blackf rials' script committee de-
cided on First Impressions, an
adaptation of jane Austen's
novel Pride and Prejudice. There
were costumes to be designed,
sets to be designed and built, an
orchestra to be formed, try-outs
to be held-the hours involved in
this pre-production type of re-
hearsal are endless. Miss Elvena
Green, director of First Impres-
sions, will confirm that point as
will Jerry Rentz, designer and
technical director; Pat Austin,
costumer; Sally Martin, musical
director; Liz Lee, conductor;
Marylin Pickard, choreographer;
and Miss Roberta Winter, who
claims official chairmanship of
the committee on "Interference
and Obstruction." For these
people play rehearsal began even
before cast rehearsal, and plans
have been made and remade.

Thosp nlnns have resulted in

June, Elizabeth, Kitty, Lydia, and Mary

conferences, another important
aspect of production rehearsal.
There have been many confer-
encesconferences with direct-
ors, conferences with designers,
conferences with cast, confer-
ences with printers, conferences
with musicians, conferences with
a dialectal consultant. Every in-
dividual associated with the pro-
duction has come to recognize
the value of these conferences,
and nearly every individual has
participated in some conference.

First Impressions has set sev-
eral records in the history of
Blackfriars. This production is
the first musical to be presented;
First Impressions is also the first
show to run four nights May
17-20; the production possesses
the highest budget of any show;
First Impressions displays more
costumes than any show in the
past; and perhaps most impor-
tantly, First Impressions has the
largest personnel ever involved in
any production. People make a
show, and there are many people
working to make First Impres-
sions the best "little miracle" to
come out of Dana Fine Arts
Building. Good productions are
the result of good rehearsals, and
First Impressions has had some
excellent rehearsals. The accom-
panying pictures are shots from
cast rehearsals. In stage skirts
and petticoats, in jeans and ten-
nis shoes the cast rehearses.
And in the shop the whining
saws and heavy hammer thuds
bespeak another rehearsal, and
in the costume room the sewing
machines echo the voice of re-
hearsal.

WHAT'S HAPPENING'

In the City

MODERN DESIGN

Modern Design, an exhibition of contemporary "decorative arts"
objects, is currently on view at The High Museum of Art in the
McBurney Gallery on the third floor. The display is organized to
correlate with The Modern Image, an educational exhibition design-
ed to clarify complex 20th century painting. Both exhibitions will
be on view at the Museum through June 1 1.

Modern Design seeks to illustrate innovations in form, materials,
construction, and production techniques which distinguish this cen-
tury's good design from the successes of earlier periods. It covers the
period of design from circa 1927 to the present.

Among the early pieces are the Barcelona chair by Mies van der
Rohe and the Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer. Both designers were
connected with the lamous Bauhaus school, established by Walter
Gropius in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, and which was characterized
by emphasis on functional design in architecture and the applied
arts.

Other notable designers whose work is on display are Charles
Eamcs, Eero Saarinen, Hans Wegner and Harry Bertoia. Each illus-
trates the theory of modern design which calls for primary attention
to function, measured in two ways: 1) the ability of the object to
perform its specific service and 2) the adaptability of the object to
the requirements of a technological, mass-production, mass-distribu-
tion system. The most recently executed pieces are by leading Italian
and japanese designers who make use of the new fabrics as well as
new plastics and other materials developed through modern technol-
ogy.

Porcelain, ceramics, crystals, flatware and other utilitarian pieces
designed by well-known artists and craftsmen and manufactured by
such leading firms as Rosenthal, Lauffer and Dansk are included in
the exhibition.

Paintings and sculpture from the Museum's permanent collection
arc displayed throughout.

Guest Curator for Modern Design is Jim Zambounis, Product De-
velopment Director, Montag Stationery. He comments that each
piece in the display has been selected because of its sculptural qual-
ity. Mrs. Katharine G. Farnham is the Museum's Curator of Decor-
ative Arts.

Modern Design is sponsored by the Museum's Members Guild. It
is made possible through the cooperation of Knoll International,
which commissions leading artists and architects to design furniture;
Rich's; Ray Lang, Inc.; MacKerer/Walker/Graham, Inc.; The Signa-
ture Shop and Gallery; and Rathcon. It is on view during regular
Muscm hours.

film is to acquaint the viewers with the United Nations Declaration
of the Rights of the Child, adopted by the General Assembly on

Johnson Choir.

THE ROCKING HORSE WINNER. Great Britain, 1949 (91 mins.)
Directed by Anthony Pelissier, based on a short story by D. H.
Lawrence and starring Valerie Hobson, John Howard Davies, John
Mills, Hugh Sinclair and Susan Richards.

Made in 1950, before the movies had begun to tap Lawrence as a
literary source, ROCKING HORSE WINNER was not so much an
attempt to introduce Lawrence to movie audiences as it was a means
of utilizing one of his more macabre stories at the tail end of a
curious cycle of largely supernatural thrillers, a cycle that had in-
cluded HALFWAY HOUSE, CORRIDOR OF MIRRORS, and, most
famous of all, DEAD OF NIGHT.

into the

stretch

(continued from page 3)

Da\ id Gambrell, Sam Nunn, for-
mer Governor Ernest Vandiver,
Jack Dorsey, and Bill Burson,
among others, are running as
Democrats; Rep. Fletcher
Thompson, with Lt. Gov. Lester
Maddox's endorsement, is the
Republican contender; and, of
course, J. B. Stoner is the white
racist candidate). Manuel ex-
pects former Governor Carl San-
ders to join the campaign trail
soon, and to be a formidable op-
ponent for all concerned. ' ,

The strongly partisan Demo-
crat advised the students to be
informed when they voted or
gave an opinion on a political
issue or candidate. Informed citi-
ens working to influence and
participate in government will
save America, he believes. If stu-
dents want to put themselves
into power in the political sys-
tem, they must know what they
want and how to achieve it.
They must be adept at the fine
art of compromise.

Although Manuel thinks that
most students are lazy and do
not care what happens to them,
he said to the students, at the
end of the lunchtime discussion,
"You've given me hope."

Hope works both ways. There
is at least one Caucasian, male,
moderate to liberal politician
over 40 in Georgia who does not
spend his time trying to appear
as a South Georgia conservative.

Selling Angela Davis to public

Films, 8:00 p.m.. Hil

Setting aside the question of An-
gela Davis' guilt or innocence, let
us consider the political activity
around her name. The Soviet
Tass declares that Angela is "a
courageous fighter for free-
dom" and with this rousing
trumpet, the Old Left's propa-
ganda machine grinds into action
all over the world. In Italy and
France, the strong Communist
parties demand formal govern-
ment denunciations of Angela's
imprisonment. In the United
States, the Daily World, official
newspaper of the Communist
Party, blares "World Greets An-
gela on Birthday."

But the furor does not stop
with the Old Left; it flows with-
out a bobble into the New Left.
At the Oakland office of the
Free Angela Committee, Angela
posters bring in S400 a month.
There are Angela buttons, re-
cords, movies, tapes. Beltina

munist, gets a column in Lon-

which she is part author. Does
not one see the puppeteer, prais-
ing the performance of its own
painted puppet? Indeed, only
one question, asked by none
other than Eldridge Cleaver,
rumples Angela's cool: Is she
being used by the Communist
Party? The scholarly Angela
sputters.

The Angela Thing is mechan-
ical; it is divisible into steps.
Step A is: Glorify Angela as a
person. Many newspapers contri-
bute to this step by talking
about "Angela's trial," not "An-
gela Davis' trial." The first name
sounds warmer, and is usually
not used ironically, as it is in this
article. In various media, Angela
is portrayed as young, beautiful,
black, intellectual, feminine, rev-
olutionary, studentish, teacher-
ish-all the push-button issues ol
the day rolled into one symbol.
Of course, these heroic details
dodge the point thai one may
possibly be young, beautiful,
black, intellectual, etc., and still
be an accomplice to murder.
And of course, the dodging fs de-
)f liberate.

Having made sure that many,
many people like Angela person-
ally, the "running dogs" of inter-
national propaganda move on to
Step B: Glorify Angela as a
Communist. Contained in this
step arc the blatant references to
Angela's supposed martyr-like
fight for freedom; her much-
publici/ed scholarlincss and ded-
ication to Communism arc also
components of B.

Step C is: Glorify the Com-
munism of which Angela is a
symbol. Gus Hall, leader of the
U.S. Communist Party, crows
with success. " I ens of thousands
are thinking, if Angela Davis is a
Communist, maybe I should also
join .... I he reaction has been
explosive! We've never had such
a response from the world Com-
munist movement." In this last
step, it becomes apparent that
"I rec Angela" is not the real
issue .it all; the real issue is "the
world Communist movement."
And the co/\ coalition of New
Left and Old with the Old Left
calling the shots continues to
grind out the buttons and
poster s.

Exams
easier

to swallow
with
tea

by KAREN HALE

The exam teas that arc sponsor-
ed by the Dean of Student's of-
fice each quarter, are quite a tra-
dition. They were started by
Miss Scandrett, the second Dean
of Students at Agnes Scott, in
the early 1930's when exams
were scheduled and pressure dur-
ing exam week was a bit higher.
The teas were initiated in order
to allow the student to unwind
after an exam. Because all stu-
dents look a particular exam all
at once, students were allowed
to talk over the "ordeal" at its
conclusion. The teas were a
means to relax after those tense
hours prccccding the exam.

This quarter the teas will be
held in the Hub, and sponsored
(as always) by the Dean of Stu-
dents, Miss Jones, and her staff.
You can drop in at any time,
have something to drink, some
cookies and chat. The exam teas
will be held on Friday, May 26,
Monday, May 29, and Tuesday,
May 30, from 3:30 until 5:00
each afternoon.

Buttrick to speak
at Baccalaureate

by MELODYE BROWN

George A. Buttrick, author and
minister, will speak at the Class
of 1972's baccalaureate, on June
the fourth.

Dr. Buttrick was graduated
from Lancaster Independent
Theological College in Man-
chester, and from Victoria Uni-
versity, with honors in philoso-
phy. He has received degrees
from many colleges among
them Yale, Princeton and
Harvard.

Dr. Buttrick was ordained
into the Congregational Church
in 1 91 5. He is a past president of
the Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America. He re-
ceived the Gutenberg Award
from the Chicago Bible Society
in 1966, and he is a member of
the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences.

Author and editor of numer-
ous books, Dr. Buttrick has been
a visiting professor and lecturer
at many colleges and univer-
sities. He served as a visiting pro-
fessor at Agnes Scott in 1 965.

Dr. Buttrick now lives in

PHI BETA KAPPA

New members honored

On Tuesday, May 1 6, a dinner was given in honor of the seniors who
were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. At the dinner, which was given at
the East Lake Country Club, the students were initiated into the
national honorary organization.

Afterwards, the new members attended a piano recital given by
Virginia Rollins in Maclean.

Red tape of interlibrary loan program explained

The libraries of the University
Center have developed an inter-
library loan program designed to
supplement the sources ot each
library.

The service is in two forms:
A student may either obtain a
library card for a specific institu-
tion for a limited time, or she
may request the book to be de-
livered to the Scott campus.

Book requests are picked up
each Tuesday and Friday as a

truck visits each library twice in
each of the days. Deliveries are
not made the day of request
pick-up but usually the follow-
ing time. The check-out period is
usually two weeks. In unusual
circumstances the library may
request return of the book with-
in a shorter time.

Periodicals cannot be
checked out from the libraries.
However, photocopies can be re-
quested. The charge is ten cents

by JOYCE McKEE

per page.

Miss Newman, associate li-
brarian, emphasized the need for
preliminary work before a re-
quest for a book or library card
is made. According to the inter-
library use policies, a book can-
not be requested from another
institution if it is owned by the
Scott library. Librarians are
asked to insure that a student
exhausts the sources of his or
her own library before turning

to the interlibrary loan program.

Miss Newman also empha-
sized the desire of the librarians
to help students locate research
materials. The library staff, to
some extent, is able to check
book and periodical holdings of
University Center libraries. The
Union Catalogue, housed in the
old Emory Library and acces-
sible by person or phone, is used
to locate books within the inter-
library loan system. Each library

contributes cards detailing their
collections.

Students have been refused
cards in the past, according to
Miss Newman, due to a basic
misunderstanding of the inter-
library loan program. Only a
lack of either the bibliographies
needed or material on a subject
at McCain Library warrants issu-
ance of a card or requests of ma-
terial, according to the loan
policy.

A bit of optimism

With the ending of another school year, I suggest that we all push
ourselves back from the table and relax and^ stretch our legs for
awhile. This past year more than anything has been filled with self-
evaluation of all types, sizes and description. I am of course not
simply referring to the Self -Study, but also to all the student and
faculty committees which are considering changes for Scott, and the
various other and sundry groups.

The results of such studies have no doubt been very good for the
school. Sometimes, however, the discussion of so many problems
and changes can cause one to forget that all is not wrong with the
school - in fact, so very many things about it are so very good.

Probably every student on this campus would have a different
idea about what she liked most. Still, high on every list would most
likely be the friendships found here, the quality of people Scott has
included in her ranks. The faculty, on a whole, are a rare breed it
requires one to stand back in awe every once in a while. Student
friendships will not be forgotten for a long time. The agonizing
together over some assignment, the silly antics in the dorms these
can 7 help but bind people together. Beyond this, the glimpses of
real caring about some piece of knowledge, the sharing of what you
have learned, give meaning to the whole concept of a school of this
type.

Then let's pick everything apart, seeing what makes it tick and
how it can be improved. However, let us not forget what is at the
foundation of the building. With that thought perhaps we all ca.
grin.

EXAMS

Please Read!

There have been no hall meetings this quarter to
review the Exam Procedure. Each student is ca-
pable of informing herself of the Exam Procedure.
Thus the Exam Procedure and the lists of schedul-
ed exams and exams with more than 40 persons
have been posted on every dorm hall by Inter-
dorm. The Exam Procedure is available to all stu-
dents and no one need be ignorant of it.

There is no denying that our Honor System is
the basis of this privilege of self-scheduled exami-
nations. It is necessary that each of us make every
effort to preserve this community privilege. We
must refresh our minds with the Exam Procedure
and regulations and encourage one another to do
so!

Each student's integrity and trust among peers
are the essential foundations of such a privilege as
our Exam Procedure. Only we as students can con-
tinue to develop this consciousness among our-
selves.

SWP possesses

two faces

by ANGELYNN McGUFF

Since the Socialist Workers Party
is a politically active force, it
would be instructive to examine
the organization's unsavory ori-
gins. To serve this purpose, one
must go back in history. Leon
Trotsky founded the SWP as an
international organization in
1938, in France, which remains
the central base of operations to-
day. The French base explains
why French Trotskyists are
often representatives at SWP
meetings in the United States to-
day.

The SWP in the United States
was founded in 1938 as a splin-
ter group forcibly expelled from
the American Communist Party.
The expulsion symbolizes the in-
tense rivalry between the United
States CP and the Trotskyite So-
cialist Workers Party. The rivalry
between the disagreeing Com-
munist parties began with the ri-
valry between Leon Trotsky and

The Democratic Party of Geor-

tion of 1972 in a most unusual
way. In fact, some thought the
process insane. And when the
madness was over at 6:30 p.m.
on March 11,1 had been elected
to Alternate Post No. 1 from the
Sixth Congressional District of
Georgia.

In most states, Democratic
delegates are chosen by the gene-

primary or by Democrats in pre-

alternates) were elected at ten
district conventions around the
state.

To run for the position of
delegate or alternate from a dis-
trict, a person had to be at least
18 years old, a resident of the
district, and had to promise pub-
lic loyalty to the national Demo-
cratic Presidential ticket in No-

qualified for a certain post
Post 1, 2, 3 or 4 delegate; or
Post 1, 2 or 3 alternate. Any citi-

and loyalty requirements were
allowed to vote at the district
conventions.

Since 1972 is the first year

est of all, the following diet is reprinted from a publication by the
Curd and Whey Cheese House of Poynette, Wisconsin. (I'm not
kidding that's actually where it came from.) Well, without further

Joseph Stalin in Russia, and has
continued to the present. How-
ever, the two sometimes join in a
"popular front" designed to ac-
complish certain political goals
the two have in common - such
as revolution.

The Socialist Workers Party
is actually to the left of the regu-
lar Communist Party; therefore,
the SWP is the most militant
Communist organization in the
United States. Trotsky frankly
sets down his opinions on vio-
lence, which are also the opin-
ions of his zealous, dogmatic fol-
lowers. In The Defense of Ter-
rorism, Trotsky says that non-
violent means should be used as
long as they accomplish Trot-
skyite goals, but that violence is
required to realize the whole rev-
olution.

With its long history, its in-
ternational base and its determi-
nation to win, whatever the cost,
the SWP undertakes many activi-
ties today. It gains free publicity
by running people for public
office; for instance, in the last
gubernatorial election, the SWP

cAtlanta Symphony OtehestiZ GREAT SCOTT!

Perhaps one of the best ways to
relax during exam time would be
to attend the Symphony this
weekend.

The final subscription con-
cert of the season will be per-
formed by the Atlanta Sym-
phony Orchestra and the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra Chorus
under the direction of Robert
Shaw, Thursday and Friday,
May 25 and 26, at 8:30 p.m. in
Symphony Hall.

Mr. Shaw will end the season
with Beethoven's Missa Solem-

nis, often referred to as the
"Mass in D," to differentiate
from the much earlier "Mass in
C." The Missa Solemnis was first
conceived as an offering to the
composer's pupil and great pa-
tron, the Archduke Rudolph,
who had been appointed Cardi-
nal Bishop of Olmutz. The Mass
was to be performed at the in-
stallation ceremonies on March
20, 1820, but the original plan
was never carried out. Beethoven
did not finish the work until
three years after the scheduled

Revolution and such

(continued from page 3)
ran Linda Jenness for Governor.
Whenever the SVVP makes up its
public face, it presents itself as a
very mild group of Socialists.

To the SVVP, influencing the
college-age group is all-impor-
tant. The SWP has a whole
youth section - the Young So-
cialist Alliance - which some-
times blankets the Georgia State
campus with fliers. In Atlanta,,
the SWP holds regular meetings
at the Militant Bookstore on
Peachtree. According to a sheet
which the Militant Bookstore
mailed out, an Emory psychol-
ogy professor, Bonnie Strick-
land, was featured as the main
speaker at one of these func-
tions. Of course, the SWP carries
on such activities all over the
United States.

These close-to-home details
show that the SWP is more than
a dry historical fact; it is an un-
comfortably powerful organizer
and opinion-molder. The best
evidence of SWP power is its role
in the Mayday demonstrations in
Washington. A supposedly inno-

cent, pacifist peace group, the
National Peace Action Coalition
was one of the two main groups
that organized the protests. The
mildly moderate columnists,
Evans and Novak, pointed out
the Trotskyite composition of
the group, which was directly or-
ganized by the Socialist Workers
Party. Evans and Novak shook
their heads over Edmund Mus-
kie's endorsement of the Na-
tional Peace Action Coalition.

The example of the Socialist
Workers Party underlines an im-
portant general principle: One
should not lend name, presence
or political energy to any organ-
ization without knowing the
background of its founders and
leaders. The Socialist Workers
Party puts on a "democratic so-
cialist" front. The front attracts
those who are looking for a lark,
those who regard such organiza-
tions as cool and non-con-
formist, and those whose con-
cern for society is misdirected.
But the SWP goal to which all its
activities are bent is bloody and
permanent revolution.

event had taken place.

Robert Shaw says, "I wonder
if there is anything in the cho-
ral-symphonic repertory which
can prepare the singer for the or-
deal of the Missa Solemnis. Cer-
tainly it must be true that those
who have endured for some
weeks the physical and intel-
lectual agony of 'getting it into
the voice' are uniquely prepared
for its deeper understandings."

Also on the program will be
Arnold Schoenberg's A Survivor
from Warsaw. Rarely has
Schoenberg achieved such pow-
erful expression as in this mov-
ing work. The piece stems from
one of the ghastlier pages of the
history of World War II - that
of the Nazi concentration
camps. The text for the narrator
was written by Schoenberg him-
self, and its realism is matched
by the equally stark realism of
Schoenberg's music.

(column prepared by Spirit Committee)

1 . Why can't the dining hall have
special nights occasionally, such
as a Mexican night, a Chinese
night, etc.?

Mrs. Saunders, the head dieti-
tian, said that the dining hall had
tried having Mexican lunches be-
fore. They received complaints
from people because there was
not a choice. Mrs. Saunders feels
this would be the problem in
sponsoring such a meal because
there would not be a choice for
students that did not like the
food.

2. Could you explain the prun-
ing of the trees and shrubs on
campus?

Mr. Day, the college landscaper,

said it was necessary to cut the
shrubs so drastically because
they had never been pruned pro-
perly at the right time in twenty
to thirty years. The shrubs had
grown to be huge instead of the
size plants they should have
been. He cut them to bring them
out to the proper size. If some
die, which is possible, they will
have to be replaced. But Mr. Day
said they would have had to be
replaced later anyway. For ex-
ample, the hollies had to be cut
because they were growing into
trees and were damaging the
foundation of the building.
About two-thirds of the shrubs
are coming out which had been
cut back. Mr. Day believes that
the campus will be a lot prettier
in the fall and spring now with
the shrubs the proper shape.

Those unpredictable voters!

(continued from page 3)
of the opportunity. And on
March 12, the Democratic hier-
archy in Georgia woke up to a
few surprises. Among others: In
the Fourth District, Emory stu-
dents helped elect a complete
McGovern slate (4 delegates, 3
alternates); Shirley Chisholm
carried the day in the Fifth Dis-
trict, winning 3 delegates and 3
alternates (Julian Bond, the
fourth delegate, has since come
out in support of George Mc-
Govern); the Tenth District
elected a coalition slate of stu-
dents, black people, labor work-
ers and women.

District Six elected the
"People's Delegation." Many of
our electors were students from

West Georgia College and black
people from Atlanta and New-
nan, Georgia. We defeated at
least one old-line politician, a
"labor" slate, a Chisholm slate,
one other group of seven, and
several independents. The typi-
cal Sixth District voters - white,
conservative, over 40 - did not
turn out in great enough num-
bers that day to elect their pre-
ferred representatives, so the
choices fell to us.

Six uncommitted people and
I, committed to Senator Muskie.
were elected. We are: Vice
Mayor of Atlanta, Maynard
Jackson black, Delegate Post
No. 1 ; Ken Gordon - white, stu-
dent at Emory Law School, Post
No. 2; Clarence Ezzard - black,

Georgia legislator, Post No. 3;
and Sally Peil - white, student
at West Georgia College, Post
No. 4. Alternates include Kay
Pinckney - white, student at
Agnes Scott College, Post No. 1 j
Willie P. Mitchell - black, re-
tired community organizer, Post
No. 2; and Dimitrius Owens
black, student at West Georgia
College, Post No. 4.

Although Governor Jimmy
Carter "balanced" the delegation
with Establishment types when
the 20 State-At-Large delegates
and alternates were elected on
April 7, what they say about
Georgia is true: Georgia's weath-
er is like her politics. Almost
anything can happen!
