THE ROFILE VOLUME LVIM NUMBER 1 .Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030. SEPTEMBER 28, 1971 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 by CATHY PIDGEON 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 cn campus. The Board of 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 intensive study of its activities 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 organ and piano concert given in Gaines 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. PAGE 2 September 28, 1971 PROF! 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. Ginny Simmons General Editor by ANGELYNN McGUFF 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 Dr. Phillips Comments: Women Welcome in Ministry - Discrimination Fades 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 College and in campus life there. 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. Tremendous Opportunities groups in the Black community, 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 There are such tremendous Decatur Presbyterian Church and opportunities for volunteer a classmate of hers was prevented services through the churches, the from becoming a Presbyterian Decatur Cooperative Ministry Minister by our church because and the Decatur Area she was a woman. I know that Presbyterian Council that we there is no way to correct such a would greatly welcome any time false statement, but it occurred the students and faculty could to me that a letter to the editor give to us. Such programs as of The Profile in one of the Literacy Action, Boys and Girls editions next Fall, might be Club, Scouting Programs for appropriate. The fact is that we Students Express Gratitude 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 Tri-Walt. The PROFILE encourages letters to the editor and student opinion cplurrins. All material must be signed, but names will be witheld upon request.

"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.

Dr. Mary Boney is one of the Ruling Elders of our church and has had an excellent influence on congregational life here. She has represented Atlanta Presbytery at the meeting of our General Assembly as a Commissioner. She has served on many Presbyterian Committees and Boards. We do have a woman member who is a special student at Columbia Theological Seminary. We have not only approved her enrollment there but have paid her tuition in order to make it possible for her to attend. She has recently formally asked for approval as a Candidate for the Ministry. Cordially yours, J. Davison Philips Editor's Note: Dr. Philips is minister of the Decatur Presbyter- ian Church and also is a member of our Board of Trustees. 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 doin 9- Priscilla Offen Managing Editor wncral editor managing editor associate editor business manager features editor circulation manager photography (iinny Simmons Priscilla Offen Jan Fredrickson Deborah Jordan Cathy Pidgeon Tricia Mc(iuire Candy Colando Many interested students attended Profile's first staff meeting last week and our staff list wil be printed next issue.

Student Volunteers Serve Community nwrlLt but also an answer loneliness and Greenville, S.C\-(I.P.)-Demon- stration-the demonstration of concern-is the philosophical foundation for Furman University's highl y-success f ul Collegiate Educational Service Corps. Initiated five years ago under the auspices of the Watkins Center Program Board, the CESC has continued to grow. In the beginning, 75 students offered to work with 18 agencies in the Greenville community. Last year, 1000 volunteers -- two-thirds of the resident students - were involved with 55 agencies. Furman' s program is student-sponsored. With the help of eight station wagons-six were purchased during CESC's third year of operation with a $20,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation-the students travel over 1 ,500 miles and amass 3,000 work-hours each week, handling a service load equal to that of 75 full-time employees. Each student works several hours weekly and the Furman volunteers receive neither pay nor academic credit for their efforts. The index of programs bolstered by the volunteers is broad in scope and variety. The students work with adults at a pre-release center of the state's penal system, with a self-help agency, and nursing homes, where the aged receive not only physical aid. to their desperation. The Furman students are involved in a variety of enrichment programs for culturally and socially deprived children, as well as aiding the mentally and physically handicapped. Tutorial work with youngsters is one of the major areas of involvement.

Another display of community-mindedness is seen in the construction and programming by Furman fraternities of mini-parks in depressed neighborhoods. The actual operation of the service corps is the responsibility of a steering committee made up of student coordinators who act as liaisons between the CESC and the agencies served. Each agency has a student coordinator. 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 this year, Sybil said that the main thrust of Rep Council would be "to utilize its committees." One OEO Contract Awarded Boston, Mass.-(I.P.)-Boston University has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity to set up a unique center to help other colleges and universities establish or improve student volunteer activities in their communities. Boston University was selected from nearly 30 applicants to set up the National Student Involvement Assistance Center (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. Have You Read...

Night is drawing nigh- -and then what will all earthly joys be, compared to the promise: "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.

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??? what is 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. Gretchen Smith and Virginia Uhl tromping around Marburg. 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.

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. THE ROFILE Volume L VI 1 1 Number 2 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 OCTOBER 13, 1971 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. DOES YOUR SAILBOAT MOVE ALONG A VELOCITY VECTOR?

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 . . . -Vladimir Volkoff 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.

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 class? It does something to your self-concept. One of my most vivid memories is of an E on my first calculus test. Thank heavens for that retest we had - I pulled my grade up to an E+. I was ready to transfer that very minute. To think that I could be making the Dean's List at a lot of schools didn't make me 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. Priscilla Offen by NANCY JONES 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.

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- tion of "Why doesn't someone do something about that." How many students at Agnes Scott need to lose a few pounds? How many procrastinate daily about starting a diet? In re- sponse, the spirit committee decided to take the initiative to set up a program to promote diets. Mrs. Saunders, however, was uncertain as to how the majority of students wou Id respond to the Board to Coordinate, To Support, to Publicize The Board of Student Activ- ities is a new board created as a 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. by LINDA HILL 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? On tht Squart Decatur N.

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. COMING SOON . . . FROM BLACKFRIARS 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.

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. IV 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!!! Your College Girl 2MC ZXKZ DOC 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. SAVE $OME STAMPS! All you have to do is send PROFILE home!

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.

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. THE MROFILE Vol. LVIII - Number 3 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 October 27, 1971 ; 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. By LINDA HILL 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. Ginny Simmons General Editor 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 of the Board of Student Activ- ities. President Alston, Dean Gary, Laura Steele, Registrar and Director of Admissions, and Hal Smith, chairman of the Board of Trustees are members ex-otticio of the Steering Committee. Major Committees * There are seven major com- mittees. Each committee con- sists of a faculty chairman and several faculty members. Some of the committees also have stu- dentand alumnae members. The chairmen and the student mem- bers of each committee arc given below. TheCommitteeon the Purpose of the College in the Planning for the Future is headed by Mrs. Linda Woods, Assistant Profes- sor of English. In addition to three other faculty members and two alumnae, Sally Barron and Molly Duson serve as student members. Mr. Michael Brown, Profes- sor of History, chairs the Com- mittee on the Organization and Administration of the College. Students on this committee are Claire Hodges and Tinsley Swann. The Committee on the Edu- cational Program of the College is headed by Mrs. Miriam Druck- er. Professor of Psychology and includes Mary Jane King and Cynthia Wilkes as student mem- bers. Mr, Marion Clark, Professor of Chemistry, acts as chairman of the Committee on the Finan- cial Resources and the Physical Plant of which two students, Sidney Kerr and Deborah Long, are members. The Committee on the Fac- ulty is chaired by Miss Eliza- beth Zenn, Professor of Classi- cal Languages and Literature. There are no students or alum- nae on this committee. The Committee on the Library includes three student members, Harriet Amos, Karen Griffith, and Lee Walker. Miss Mary Vir- ginia Allen, Professor of French is the chairman of this committee. Mrs. )o Raffety, Instructor in French, heads the Committee on Student Personnel. Margaret Clark, Andy Hankins, and Sybil Peet serve as student members. By ANGELYN McGUFF munist countries gave Abernathy similar high politcal awards '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.

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 should run about 500 words. Type them and place them in Box 764. However you feel, do Profile a favor and read creatively. React, comment, criticize. Write out your suggestions and give them to a staff member or place them in Box 764.

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. Arleen Shumate 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. Big Business - favors corporate interests 9% 4. Ruined the economy - few jobs available; high prices, taxes 7% 5. The elephant 5% 6. For the peoplt 4% 7. Not for the workingman 4% cS. Doesn't keep campaign promises 4% Responding to "Democratic Party," they said 1. For the people 11% 2. Liberal 8% 3. Social welfare programs - employment, Social Security benefits 7% 4. The donkey 5% 5. Responsible for Vietnam war 5% 6. Humphrey, Muskie, Roosevelt 5% 7. Unions - the party of organized labor 3% 8. There is no difference between the two parties 2% The overall general image of the two parties is as follows: Republican Party Overall favorable 15% Overall unfavorable 26% Neutral 27% No Opinion 32% Democratic Party Overall favorable 22% Overall unfavorable 13% Neutral 30% No opinion 35% 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. Reta Dulaney for the Young Republicans PAGE 4 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! Catherine and the Bomb nestle close to each other in front of Wal- ters.

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 KAREN HALE 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 Have You Read...

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. PROFILE /October 27,1971 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. By TERRY HEARN 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.

Plans are to invite speakers to the campus who can inform interested Demo- crats and other students not only about local and state political events, but national ones as well. The executive secretary of the Georgia Democratic Party will visit the ASYD's soon. If you're interested in joining the Agnes Scott Young Democrats, contact Julianna Winters, ext. 21 0, 21 1 .

By TERRY HEARN 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. masterpieces in hiding places throughout the countryside. Then he and his wife lived in the bombed-out shell of the Tate. In 1952, he became "Sir" when Queen Elizabeth II knight- ed him - on the recommenda- tion of Winston Churchill. In ad- dition to the Ph.D. degree he earned at University College in London, he has received honor- ary doctorates from New Bruns- 1 wick in Canada and Saint An- drews University in Scotland. The students of St. Andrews elected him to the honorary po- sition of rector from 1964-1967. Sir John has published twenty-five books and a con- stant stream of articles since his graduation from Oxford. The books are as varied as is Sir John's personality.

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 the source for pertinent inquiries or comments. Truly, Sidney Kerr President, Christian Association L CA 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. SAVE SOME STAMPS!

Send Profile to Name Address City State Zip (Fill out and place in Box 379) 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.

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. The PROFILE encourages letters to the editor from individuals expressing their opinions on any subject. Letters should be less than 250 words, and must be signed, although the name will be withheld upon request. 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. PAGE 4 THE PROFILE / November 10, 1971 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. by CHRISTINE CLARK the nature and- history of the ballad. He has taught and lec- 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- day just before Thanksgiving. Bergman: A Swede's Eye View 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE PROFILE / November 10, 1971 Bergman (Continued from page four.) 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.

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.

Harmony or... 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- gular budget, discussed, and passed 7-5, with one member ab- sent. 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. Ginny Simmons General Editor h 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 The PROFILE encourages letters to the editor from individuals expressing their opinions on any subject. Letters should be less than 250 words, and must be signed, aJthough the name will be withheld upon request. 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.

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?

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- ter quality of life for the peoples 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- priations.

Mm 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- FARMER 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 Study. PAGE 4 PROFILE / November 24, 1971 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 FLYNN ,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. 3 Mrs. Venable & Dr. Cukrowicz m By CATHY 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- pus Christmas Party will follow 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. PROFILE / November 24, 1971 PAGE 5 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 Focus on 4 Faith 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- tions January 10-12, Bob will pursue this problem and present some solutions. Come, bring a friend, and be prepared for ## By TERRI HEARN 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.

(Fill out and place in Box 379) THE MROFMLE Volume LVIII, Number 6 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. Overheard Fine distinction drawn by Dr. Chang: A good harlot is a Holy Prostitute.

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.

Arleen Shumate 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. -GINNY SIMMONS General Editor Quote Believe it.

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- by NANCY JONES 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 few years in kindergarten and first and second grade everyone figures parents just naturally handmade calendars and hand PERSPECTIVE Rated X for Xmas By ELLEN FLYNN printed plaques to hang on the wall. Then what? 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- day crowd of movie goers. My intention for this week's column was to give you a sampling or preview of the holiday fare. However, as this issue goes to press none of the "holiday packages" have been announced. I will, therefore, have to content myself with some suggestions for your viewing pleasure which are probably already in your home town. Joseph Losey and Harold Pinter's The Go-Between con- cerns the secret love of an 1890's girl and a neighboring Hyms of Revolution Herald the Season As a perspective for the Advent and Christmas seasons, I would like to share with you the following excerpt from the ser- mon "NO ROOM IN THE WORLD," given by the Rev. Phil Barnhart; pastor of East Lake Methodist Church in Atlanta on December 13, 1970. I share his views as expressed here, and hope that Christians strive to make Christmas real all the year, 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. This is only a portion of the magnificent historical and cul- tural sites and traditions that will be viewed by students in Spain. The cost of the 1 972 program will be only $790.00.

By KAY PINCKNEY through faith in action. "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! ' he says, 'Come, and farmer. Their connections are 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 a beautifully photographed long ago western entitled The Hired Hand ; and finally The Touch by Ingmar Bergman who makes even the seemingly banal into art. MAUI OIT PAGE 4 PROFILE / December 8, 1971 on eaRth peace uo\\\ toajuRXD men in Holland 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 opening of Father Christmas 's gifts and then, after breakfast, 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 emotions, and that is perhaps the most beautiful thing about it Sarah Brooke in So?e5en 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. Ann Yrwing in Buazil 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. THE MROFMLE Volume LVIII, Number 7 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 January 20, 1972 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 By SIDNEY KERR 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. Samuel Rhodes, violost, was 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 (continued on page 3) PROFILE / January 20, 1972 PAGE 2 THE MROFMLE 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.

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. PR/SC/LLA OFFEN, Managing Editor 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? GINNY SIMMONS, General Editor Siegchrist 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 Assistant Professor of English Appreciation Expressed 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.

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.

(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.

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.

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. Hackman is the only well-known 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 COT [PDGCSDKes Have You Read...

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. The Christian Science Monitor. Facts. Ideas. Solutions. That's what the Monitor is all about. To prove this to yourself, send us the coupon.

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 NE CLARK 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.

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.

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.

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. Agnes Scott Honor Pledge - Student Handbook, page 9 into Decatur TO SOOTH UEICALB SHCPPlUe CENTER Wearing off the shoe leather around Decatur This map will not illustrate the route to Nirvana, but if you still get lost in downtown Decatur, it may help temporarily. (Nirvana, Georgia, is a few miles south of here and can be found on most road maps.) Between the seasons of football and sunbathing comes winter, a good time to get your fill of erratic weather. There is more in Decatur than meets the needs met by such es- tablishments as drugstores and dress shops. Not everyone has a library like ours at his disposal, so the city has provided its citi- zens with one of their own. The By JAN FREDRICKSON car wash is an added conven- ience, though not recommended for dirigibles, as they tend to get stuck. Like any strange and exotic place, Decatur lends itself to ex- ploration. There are several res- taurants within walking distance, and the cemetery would be a nice place for a stroll. And if you enjoy watching construction crews at work, there's usually a building of some sort going up. There are a few things Deca- tur either doesn't have or has kept cleverly hidden. These 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. PAGE 2 PROFILE / February 3, 1972 THE MROFMLE Agnes Scot!

Student Art Show - Dana 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.

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? Four years at Agnes Scott can also increase your tolerance level for such things as noise, chicken, and rain. This, too, is a good per- iod to experiment with the ef- fects of varying amounts of sleep Support CA! by PAM ARNOLD 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. By NANCY JONES 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 Q. How do you manage to feed 700 ravenous females? A. With great difficulty and very carefully. Although that may sound a bit flippant, it is not too far re- moved from the truth. Fixing meals for all of Agnes Scott three times a day is not an easy 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.

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 (continued on page 4) PROFILE / February 3, 1972 Than longen folk to goon on pilgry mages Poetry contest If you like to write poetry, why not enter the Janef Preston Poetry Contest?

(892-2797) 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. One of Atlanta's finest actors, Johnny Popwell, will play the The Square Table We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner 6:00 am - 8:00 pm VERY GOOD FOOD we want all the girls to come see us title role. Young author of the play, Pat Freni, also an actor appeared in THREE SISTERS and THE TAMING OF THE SHREW at ATC last season.

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., 8:30 p.m., Sunday, 6:30 p.m. Second Week: Tues. - Sat. 8:30 p.m. Previews are all 8:30 p.m. For ticket information, call 892-2414. By CINDY HARVEY "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. Coming attractions The lineup of productions in order: AH!

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 By KAY PINCKNEY 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 Have You Read...

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 (continued on page 6) X marks the spot Whilst three girls one day Were diligently studying One said to the other "We should be playing.

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. Are you interested in Experi- menting this summer? Basic pro- gram fees range from $590 (Mexico) to $1500 (Africa).

Students interested in posi- tions in the United States will find over 90,000 specific vacan- cies listed with salary, dates of employment and name of the person to whom application should be sent. Jobs listed include employment in resorts, national parks, summer camps, restaurants, summer theatres, government, business and indus- try. Those seeking the adventure of overseas employment will find some 50,000 vacancies, in- cluding such jobs as hotel and holiday camp staff, fruit pickers, safari drivers, and work with archaeological digs. Listed are employment opportunities in 30 foreign countries including England, Scotland, France, Germany, Israel and Australia. Information about visa and work regulations is included.

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.

Pinka 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. Martz is the Douglas Tracy Smith Professor of English and American Literature at Yale Uni- versity and is responsible for much recent scholarship on John By TERRI HEARN 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 Fill out questionaire the student self-study questionnaire is being given from 8-5 in the Library and from 7:15 - 10 p.m. in the dining hall. Bring 1971 catalogue and student handbook. 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." By JAN FREDRICKSON 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.

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.

Ed/tor's Note: PROFILE would like to hear what Scott students think of the system des- cribed in the following article. Eight men's and women's col- leges located primarily in Vir- ginia are presently participating in a type of union which is term- ed the College Consortium. The system provides that any student of one of the schools may spend his junior year at any one of the other colleges. The system can be compared to a Junior year abroad program except for the fact that the student exchanges to a neighboring school.

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.

THE MROFILE Volume LVIII - Number 10 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 March 2, 1972 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. Mrs. Byers and Mrs. Pepperdene strolling with Robert Frost on one of his visits. 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. Ginny Simmons General Editor 0) in CD CD 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. (Signed) Claire Smith, Chairman Alice Faulkner Ann Christensen Dianne Gerstle Susan Mees 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. (Signed) Patricia Austin 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. Ginny PROFILE / March 2, 1972 Mary Baldwin plans exchange program with Atlanta colleges PAGE 3 forsake february By NANCY JONES 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- Try outs tonight!

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.

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 true independence no more f rules, community showers, noisy stereos (except my own)! Inhal- ing the want-ads, looking for just the right nook Chateau Forest, Malibu, Club Candiewood, Spanish Quarter or one bdr. garage apt. off Lull- water, utl. inc. 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 baby face you won't be 21 for a long time. Who's going to let you sign a lease?" Too sleepy to come up with a sarcastic reply, I turned out the light promising myself there'd be a blizzard in July before I ever buy anything red, white and blue again. Rust and gold are much more ... more ... mature ... Thursday, February 17, Agnes Scott romped over the girls of Oglethorpe University in an afternoon in the Scott gym- nasium. The team was comprised of the assembled talents of 3 freshmen, 4 sophomores, I jun- ior and 2 seniors who pulled out a 28 to 18 victory.

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. Work abroad Job opportunities in Europe this summer . . .

Lightfoot carries heavy guitar aStiK gfSi African proverbs |l| If you biased don't read unsolicited, and subjective testi- monials, disregard the following. I freely admit to extreme preju- dice in regards to the subject of this article. I have been privi- leged to' know him and even to perform with him several times over the last two years. Gordon Lightfoot appeared at Emory University last week- end in one of his rare American appearances, which fortunately for us are increasing steadily. For those who may be familiar with the composer only through his most recent recording "If You Could Read My Mind," let me fill in a little background. A native of Canada, this multi- talented, engaging and sensitive musician is one-half American Indian. For many years he has been the light of Canadian folk music and has greatly influenced other performers in his field. Among these are his fellow Canadians By ELLEN FLYNN Tim Hardin and Leonard Cohen. 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 - which isn't really that far from the real thing. May you do the same. He who is being carried does not realize how far the town is. Save your fowl before it stops flapping. Cross the river in a crowd and the crocodile won't eat you. Confiding a secret to an unworthy person is like carrying grain in a bag with a hole. Lower your head modestly while passing, and you will harvest bananas. No one tests the depth of a river with both feet. Only when you have crossed the river, can you say the crocodile has a lump on his snout. Invite someone into your parlor, and they will come into your bedroom. If a single hair has fallen from your head, you are not yet bald. Children of the same mother do not always agree. If you climb up a tree, you must climb down the same tree. If a man comes, a quarrel comes. He who marries a beauty marries trouble. A cow gave birth to a fire: she wanted to lick it, but it burned; she wanted to leave it, but she could not because it was her own child. Taken from the book of African Proverbs, compiled by Charlotte and Wold Leslau A t the High The Prevalence of Ritual An exhibition of works of art by Romare Bearden, the interna- tionally-known contemporary black artist, opened at The High Museum of Art, Sunday, Feb- ruary 27 and will be on view through Sunday, March 26. The Prevalence of Ritual is the title of the exhibition which comprises fifty-six works. It in- cludes an 1 8-foot collage-mural, 777? Block; six photo enlarge- ments of key 1964 collages and six early (1940-42) works on brown paper illustrating the pri- mal power of Bearden's imagery which reappears in his collages Of the 1960's. Commenting on Prevalence of Ritual Exhibition, Museum Di- rector Gudmund Vigtel observes: "Mr. Bearden is not only one of the principal American artists working today but he is one of the foremost black artists anywhere in the world. We are most fortunate to be able to pre- sent his work at the High Mu- seum."

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. THE MROFMLE VOLUME L VIII NUMBER 11 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 Tuesday, March 28, 1972 today Tech, tomorrow the world 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.

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. - Jody Hop wood ED. NOTE: It is not a policy of the Profile to rewrite articles.

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. PAGE 4 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 - contested race PROFILE / March 28, 1972. 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. PAGE 5 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 Athletic Association candidates hop to it 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 SEFCIK, McMARTIN 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- (Continued on page 8) PAGE 6 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. PARSONS, COLANDO dent government to fulfill its needs. 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? (Continued on page 7) PROFILE / March 28, 1972 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. CA continued (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 (Continued on page 8) PAGE 8 PROFILE / March 28, 1972 AA continued (Continued from page 5) 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 CA continued (Continued from page 7) 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- lyric ballads follow election 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. Hines opera 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 Fox Theatre on Thursday even- ing, March 30.

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. by JOYCE McKEE 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- mittee is making available to the students the information that Dean Gary emphasized that they have gathered over the fall I 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 (Continued on page 3.) 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. Patricia Austin 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. -Priscilla Of fen General Editor "Grass-roots" action to save grass roots 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 April 30 for the May J I issue May J 4 for the May 25 issue (Profile box number: 764. Editor may be reached at Lxt. 283 or 373-9046.) 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. No Bones About It... PROFILE / April 13, 1972 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." Swann (Continued from page 7 J 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." PAGE 3 Student elected alternate delegate by ANGELYNN McGUFF Mr n ' L &*j 1 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- (Continued on page 4.) 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 (Continued on page 4.) P AGE 4 PROFILE / April 13, 1972 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. Equality (Continued from page 3.) 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.

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 Joggin (Continued from page 3.) of people, faculty and students, 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. g along creases your physical endurance and can help you to lose weight.

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- Liqhted Trails of Atlanta Dogwood 1972 Atlanta dogwood festival cjlpril 8-15 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.

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. -Priscilla Offen General Editor Spirit Committee to begin column The Spirit Committee has volunteered to run a question-answer col- umn in the Profile. Anyone having a question of a general or specific 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.

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.

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. Freshman Sundae Party in the Amphitheatre for those who worked on orientation May 3, 6:0U p.m. 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?" PAGE 4 PROFILE / April 27, 1972 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.

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 (continued on page 6) Wide Selection of Fresh Vegetables OPEN 6:00 A.M. 8:30 P.M. ^Jlte Square a REAL HOME COOKING FOR TAKE OUT ORDERS-CALL 373-9354 SPEROS MILLAS Ycur Host 129 E PONCE DE LEON DfcCATUR.

It is truly amazing to see so well accomplished the difficult task of transferring (with very few omissions) the paper to the screen.

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.

Planning the program began in the 1969-1970 school year. In the beginning, Dean Jones stated, the program was planned to be educational in nature. Ef- forts became more serious last by JOYCE McKEE spring to develop an educational program and resulted in Dr. Hendee conducting several semi- nars on sex with freshmen this year and later with upperclassmen. Student response to the seminars, the suggestions made by Dr. Hatcher of Planned Parenthood during convocation, and student interest in a medical as well as an educational pro- gram, resulted in the new Gynecological Counseling Serv- ice.

Unlike such groups as the stu- dents, faculty, or trustees who are directly involved in the school, and who act as decision- makers, this Council will strictly make suggestions.

The Council will meet once a year, but each member will be kept advised of the college's pro- grams and plans, and will be sent the school publications. The an- nual meeting will permit each member to observe the College in operation, and to offer any advice. The meetings will pro- bably be held sometime in the spring.

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- graduate degree from Davidson College and his M. D. from Emory University. Dr. Freeman received both of his degrees from Emory School of Medicine.

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 dorm, hall, wing and/or room which they wish to occupy next (continued on page 3) A quintet from the Georgia State Brass Lnscmble performing for Convocation on May 3.

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 -Priscilla Often Grnctal Editor Questionnaire Results EDITOR'S \OTE: Below are printed just a pan of the Seff -Study Questionnaire resuffs.

He gave a brief history of the Democratic Party in Georgia, saying that it has always been made up of "the ins and the outs." The "ins" have been the governor and his patronees, and the "outs" those politicians who were trying to dethrone the gov- ernor.

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- tures and discussions sometimes in the classroom, but more usu- ally in museums and at archae- ological and architectural sites in and around the city. All major sites and many others will be vi- sited and include such well known points of interest as the Forum, St. Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican (including an audi- ence with the Pope), the Pala- tine, open air music concerts and many of the numerous major museums. An all-day excursion is planned to each of the follow- ing: ancient Ostia, Palestrina, Frascati and Tusculum, Hadri- an's Villa and Villa d'Este (in- cluding the Appian Way), Tar- quinia and Cerveteri. Students will use a few tests although the emphasis will be on site material and field exper- ience. Grades will be determined by tests; there will be no papers. (continued on page 4) by KAY PINCKNEY 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 Choosing an abode (continued from page 1 ) year. 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 "led Kennedy will receive the nomination, and he believes that Kennedy could "beat Nixon." 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.

The number of members has been kept small so that a worth- while program for all involved could be developed. Dr. McCain stated that the number is likely to be increased in the future. Other colleges often have such groups serving in different capacities. Some such councils may be used either in decision making or in money raising. The Council at Agnes Scott will in- volve itself in neither of these areas. Rather, the purpose of the Council is to advise and to serve as a link between Scott and the outside community.

Juniors and Seniors enjoying a delicious banquet lpping bench 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. B.O.Z. presents reading by ANN B.O.Z. , Agnes Scott's creative writing group, will present a reading in Rebekah Recreation Room on Friday, May 12 at 11:30 a.m. Members will offer their material in the form of prose, poetry, and music. The reading provides the campus community with an excellent opportunity to enjoy the crea- tivity of the B.O.Z. membership. B.O.Z., a name taken from one of Charles Dickens' pseudo- nyms, encourages creative FINCHER writing on the Agnes Scott cam- pus under the sponsorship of Margaret Trotter. Miss Trotter is on leave spring quarter, so Mr. Ball and Miss Schulz are acting sponsors. They are both enthusi- astic about the approaching reading. The atmosphere will be re- laxed, the presentation will be stimulating, and the experience promises to be pleasurable. The campus community is cordially invited. Have You Read...

PROFILE / May 11, 1972 5* 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.

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. THEATRE NOW Kelly Morris, Director of Emory Theatre, will give a program Wednesday, May I 7 on Theatre Now.

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. PROFILE / May 11, 1972 Coming into the home 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 Aptheker, daughter of U.S. CP theoretician Herbert Aptheker, and herself a higher-up Com- munist, gets a column in Lon- don's influential Sunday Times praise Ange book. by ANGELYNN McGUFF 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. THE MROFILE VOLUME LVIII, NUMBER 15 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 May 25, 1972 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.

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. - Priscilla Of fen General Editor 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. - Marcia Knight Chairman of Honor Court PROFILE / May 25, 1972 To the class of 1972 M> dear Mr. Huckleberry Finnly, Esquire: It seems that your pleasant journey down the Mississippi is nearly over.
