Alston announces retirement

by JOYCE McKEE

President Wallace M. Alston has
announced his intention to retire
as president of Agnes Scott Col-
lege no later than November 1,
1973, or in the summer of 1973,
if a successor has been chosen.

The 1972-1973 school session
will complete Dr. Alston's twen-
ty-fifth year of service to Agnes
Scott. He came to the campus in

Sir John and Lady Rothenstein

Scott community Favorite returns

by ANN FINCHER

Sir John Rothenstein, visiting
scholar and past visiting pro-
fessor in the Agnes Scott Art De-
partment, and his wife, Lady
Rothenstein, will return to the
Scott campus the week of Oc-
tober 16.

The highlight of Sir John's
visit will be his talk in convoca-
tion October 18 at 11:30 a.m.,
in Presser Hall. Sir John was a
personal friend of Sir Winston
Churchill, and was knighted by
Queen Elizabeth on the recom-
mendation of Churchill. The
title of his talk will be "Sir Win-
ston Churchill As I Have Known
Him."

For many years Sir John has
been a welcome member of the
Agnes Scott community, both as
guest lecturer and as visiting pro-
fessor of art. He has also taught
at Fordham College and is cur-
rently teaching at New York
University.

Sir John Rothenstein is a
leading figure in art circles and is

credited with the international
fame won by the Tate Gallery of
London. From 1938 to 1964 he
served as' director of the gallery.
Under his leadership the gallery
acquired a new sense of excite-
ment and unity. The gallery had
been closed to the public and
was badly in need of repairs. Sir
John added forty major sculp-
tures by Henry Moore and the
works of many important emer-
ging artists to the Tate Gallery.
He also reopened the gallery to
the public.

Upon his retirement from
Tate Gallery, Sir John served in
the honorary position of Lord
Rector to Saint Andrews Univer-
sity in Scotland until 1967.
Since then, he has taught and
lectured at American colleges.

Sir John has published more
than twenty-five books and has
authored many articles. He has
also published a three volume
autobiography and the definitive
study on English painters, enti-

tled Modern English Painters, in
two volumes.

On Wednesday, October 4,
Agnes Scott held its traditional
Honors Day Convocation. The
speaker was Henry King Stan-
ford, who has been president of
the University of Miami since
1962. Mr. Stanford is a Doctor
of Law; he has received degrees
from Emory University and the

Study in the nation's capitol

The History and Political
Science Department of Agnes
Scott is pleased to announce its
acceptance into the Washington
Semester Program of The Ameri-
can University.

This program will each year
enable two students from Scott
to spend the fall semester in
Washington, D. C, for a study of
American government in action.
The study is carried out through
a seminar, an individual research
project, and either one addition-
al course or an internship.

The seminar is offered for
two course credits and consists
principally of meeting with pub-
lic officials, political figures, lob-
byists, and others active in the
national government. Meetings
are held approximately four
times a week, with most of them
occurring at the offices of the
speakers concerned. These meet-
ings are supplemented and inter-

preted through lectures and dis-
cussions led by academic instruc-
tors.

The project is an individual
research undertaking for one
course credit. This is designed to
give the student an in-depth un-
derstanding of a single political
problem or governmental activ-
ity.

The course which the student
may elect in addition to the sem-
inar and the project is chosen
from the regular curriculum of
The American University. Each
student may pursue his own in-
terests or work toward the ful-
fillment of his home school's re-
quirements.

The internship which may be
elected as an alternative to the
foregoing course is arranged by
the student and his instructor
with an appropriate legislative,
administrative, or political

office.

Washington Semester stu-
dents are housed in University
housing. Dormitory fees are the
same as those charged regular
students. Tuition is paid through
the student's home college.

Scott students participating
in the program would return
after the Christmas holidays to
take the winter and spring quar-
ters here.

The students sent on the pro-
gram must be juniors or seniors
who have had at least one course
in American government. They
need not necessarily be History
or Political Science majors.

More information will be
made public at a later date.
Michael J. Brown, Professor of
History and Chairman of the De-
partment of History and Polit-
ical Science, is the Institutional
Representative for the program.

of Georgia Southwestern Col-
lege, Georgia State College for
Women, and Birmingham Sou-
thern College.

After President Stanford
spoke, honors were announced.
The honor roll for the 1971-72
session was read. Those receiving
special awards were: Rose Ann
Cleveland, Leila Wheatley Kin-
ney, and Laura Tinsley Swann
the three students who rank first
academically in the rising sopho-
more, junior and senior classes,
and who are designated each
year as "Stukes Scholars" in re-
cognition of Dean Emeritus
Samuel Guerry Stukes' distinc-
tive service to the college; India
Elizabeth Culpepper awarded
the Rich Prize, given annually by
Rich's of Atlanta for distinctive
academic work in the freshman
class; and Lisa Jane Heatly
awarded the Kathleen Hagood
Gambrell Scholarship, estab-
lished in memory of his wife by
Mr. E. Smythe Gambrell of At-
lanta, and awarded to a student
who "will devote her life to
Christian education, Christian
missions, or some other phase of
Christian ministry."

On Thursday, October 5,
those students on the honor roll
will attend a banquet sponsored
by Mortar Board.

Swann, Susan Freeman and Leila
Kinney are student representa-
tives to the committee and will
work as the liaison between the
board committee and Rep Coun-
cil. Due to the natural organiza-
tion of Rep Council, it will act
as the student advisory commit-
tee.

Dr. Alston states that he
wants to retire while he is still in
good health and before he places
"the face of age or infirmity
upon the college." Also, Dr.
Alston plans to lead a very active
"retired" life. He and Mrs.
Alston are enlarging their home
on Norris Lake in Gwinnett
County. Although Dr. Alston
plans to accept no permanent
employment, he states that he
would like to do a "little writing
and a lot of reading." He and
Mrs. Alston also plan to travel,
and Dr. Alston especially wants
to preach.

Dr. Alston gives several quali-
ties he thinks are essential in any
president for Agnes Scott. He
feels the man or woman must be
of "strong Christian character
due to the background of the
college." He also states that the
individual needs to be thorough-
ly acquainted with higher educa-
tion. He points out the value of
teaching experience.

Other necessary qualities, ac-
cording to Dr. Alston, are the
ability to manage money, due to
the continuing financial difficul-
ties of private educational insti-
tutions. Agnes Scott has never
operated with a deficit, and Dr.
Alston wants this tradition to
continue.

The ability to relate well with
students, faculty, staff and the
Board of Trustees is another
quality President Alston stresses.
For him, the "relationships with
the students" have been "the
greatest satisfaction" of his posi-
tion.

Dr. Alston also emphasizes
the need for "a statesmanlike at-
titude," particularly in the rela-
tionships of Agnes Scott with
other institutions and educa-
tional organizations.

Although Dr. Alston is, of
course, extremely interested in
the selection process, he firmly
states that that responsibility is
in the hands -of the Board of
Trustees.

Side-view

of the Profile

This being the first paper of the school year, I would like to ex-
pound a bit on what I see as the mte the PROFILE plays in the
overall life on this campus.

The paper comes out every other week. Also, the deadline for
copy occurs some ten days before the paper appears in your mail-
box. Therefore, we cannot be timely or perhaps "up to the minute"
in the sense that a regular daily newspaper is.

Granted this limitation, it still remains that the paper can present
an ongoing overview of the life on this campus. The paper is in-
tended to be school-oriented, in particular, student-oriented. We
want to mirror the life here - to hold the glass up before your face.

Some of the news items may tell you of events taking place at the
college. Admittedly, the weekly calendar can do as much. But it is
part of the newspaper's job to excite you about these events.

For example, Jose Greco will present a lecture-demonstration
here on the ninth. If that in itself is not enough to induce you to
attend, then perhaps by reading a few details in the article about
him, you will indeed want to go and see for yourself.

Some news, too, needs to be written down. You can read exactly
how to take advantage of the Gynecological Counseling Service, for
instance.

But most important news reports on things which by their very
nature are of interest to the student and the campus community at
large.

Feature articles are intended to present some interesting and
sometimes seldom known side-light about Scott or the area. As well,
they are meant to entertain you.

The opinion part of the paper is not for the editor's use only, by
any means. I would like to encourage, beg, plead, invite, beseech,
intreat, implore (etc., etc.) any student or faculty member to write a
Letter to the Editor whenever he or she feels something needs say-
ing. Furthermore, there is a Student Opinion column. This column
will be run whenever a student turns in an essay stating her opinion
on a college matter or on a local, national, or international issue. A
very important part of this school is what the students themselves
think. Feel free to use the paper in making your opinions known.
(The PROFILE box number is 764.)

I really do hope that you enjoy reading the PROFILE this year.
The staff enjoys putting it together for you, and the paper really is
for you.

An Analysis of the Public Hear-
ing on the Stone Mountain Toll-
way, September 21, 1972.

It is not difficult to prove one's
own theory and at the same time
make it sound reasonable if one
hires people who say they can
prove it and if one presents the
theory in a legal and logical way.
This statement can be disproved,
but apparently Mr. Jack Embry,
Mr. Frank Harshner, and the
Georgia State Tollway Authority
conducted the hearing concern-
ing the Stone Mountain Tollway
with this in mind.

For a number of reasons they
were not successful in their bid
for public approval of the toll-
way. The primary reason was
that the public was already op-
posed to the system.

Mr. Embry and Mr. Harshner
conducted the beginning of the
hearing according to law, mean-
ing they went through what
seemed for a time to be endless
red tape. Mr. Harshner made the
same statements up to three and
four times, such as "Everyone
will be heard before the hearing
is over, no matter how long we
stay."

He and Mr. Embry repri-
manded the approximately 1000
citizens who came to the hearing
in subtle and sometimes not so
subtle ways and implied that
delays the citizens caused were
aggravating and needless. Mr.
Harshner gave the impression
that he had to lower himself to
talk to the citizens.

He presented four men, sup-
posedly technical experts, who
spoke in favor of the tollway
system. The first, Lawrence
Rogo, from Wilbur Smith and
Associates, had the duty of con-
vincing the public of growing
traffic demands. Like the others
who would follow, he gave many
statistics.

Bob Nelson, supposedly
speaking for MARTA, said
MARTA advocated an alterna-
tive system of travel besides
Rapid Transit and therefore re-
commended the tollway system.
MARTA would use the same

corridors as the tollway, imply-
ing that since the land was al-
ready going to be- used by
MARTA, the tollway would not
make any difference.

The most absurd of all the
men was Jerome Wolf of the
Griner Commission. He was re-
sponsible for the environmental
impact study. He said damage to
the Fernbank Science Center
would be minimal, there would
be no long-term affects on water
level, air pollution could be re-
duced by the tollway, and that
on clear nights freeway lighting
could be dimmed so that the
Bradley Observatory at Agnes
Scott College or the Fernbank
Observatory could be used.

Mr. Allen Johnston, director
of planning for DeKalb County,
said his Highway Study Team re-
commended Route A of the
three recommended routes.

At this point the formal pre-
sentation by the Tollway Au-
thority ended. Mr. Harshner con-
cluded with more formalities
and then was forced by law to

let the people speak and ask his
men questions.

People had varied reasons for
opposing the tollway. They re-
futed the statements of the ex-
perts with information which
was more sound. Probably the
best example of this was the
three men who presented facts
that proved definitely that the
Fernbank Science Center would
be irreparably damaged by any
of the routes, especially Route
B.

Educators spoke of the dam-
age and destruction the tollway
would bring to the DeKalb
County School System. People
challenged the respectability and
authority of the experts them-
selves. The presentation by the
Tollway Authority failed. I
would attribute this to the fact
that though it was legal and or-
ganized, it was not legitimate.
That is, it did not reflect and re-
present a broad concensus of the
people who would be directly af-
fected.

Name withheld by request.

Talk - we'll listen

The PROFILE gets plenty of criticism. The trouble is, we rarely hear
any of it. Last spring I happened to overhear a conversation about
the utter stupidity of an article in the last issue. Why were we not
informed of such an obvious shortcoming? It is important that we be
aware of our readers ' opinions.

If we could read minds, there would be no problem of second-
guessing student reaction. If we receive no constructive criticism to
our face, we will stumble blindly on, repeating what some may
consider error or idiocy.

There is no need to worry about recrimination; if we didn 't want
to know how the paper might be improved, we wouldn't ask for
ideas from those whom we are trying to serve. The PROFILE will
print signed letters to the editor, but signatures will be withheld
upon request. Unsigned letters, though not printed, will be read.
Telephone calls and personal confrontations will be listened to.

We do not agree with everybody, but we do encourage expression
of different points of view. Of course, we will defend whatever we
consider right, but we are willing to stand corrected when we make
mistakes.

You, as readers, are not compelled to accept what we print and
merely grumble to yourselves about it. You have every opportunity
to speak up where it will do some good. We may put our foot in our
mouth occasionally, but our ears are a/ways open.

To the Editor:

We do not understand why
Miss McGuff's "articles" on left-
wing political groups are pub-
lished in your newspaper. They
are in no sense news, and they
are in no sense objective. This
latest piece on the Socialist
Workers Party in your edition of
May 25, 1972, for instance, con-
tains a number of irresponsible
and subjective characterizations,
such as the "unsavory origins"
of the Trotskyite organization,
its "zealous, dogmatic" fol-
lowers, and their "mis-directed"
concern for society. Further-
more, the mention of the Emorv

psychology professor in such a
context has negative implica-
tions about her personal political
views which are wholly unsub-
stantiated.

If Miss McGuff wishes to ex-
press her personal right-wing po-
litical opinions, let her write let-
ters to the editor. If the editorial
staff of the PROFILE wishes to
express its right-wing political
opinions, let it write editorials.
But it is subversive of the ideals
of fair and objective reporting to
publish such slanted material in
the guise of unbiased news ar-
ticles. We hope that in the future
the editors of the PROFILE will
relegate all "zealous, dogmatic"

opinion to the editorial and cor-
respondence columns.
Yours truly,
Mark Siegchrist

EDITOR'S NOTE: The article to
which you refer and the others
done by Miss McGuff were writ-
ten as political opinion columns.
I must take the blame for not
making this clear in the paper
through a sub-heading or some
other means, for they were
printed as though regular news
items. - P. O.

The Spirit Committee is continuing its question, and answer column
begun last spring quarter. The purpose of the column is to promote
spirit, interest and enthusiasm for Agnes Scott. The committee will
be glad to handle any questions, complaints or suggestions con-

Rome. The Eternal City. In
myth it was founded by the
twins Romulus and Remus.
Ruled by mad, wise, benevolent
or power-hungry men, it has al-
ways survived. It once was the
power and glory of the entire
world. And still today it has a
magical quality that makes
everyone want to visit it.

The Art and Classics Depart-
ments of Agnes Scott are sur-
rendering to the magical quality
and are sponsoring a summer
study in Rome in 1973. One
course from each department
will be offered. The Art course is
309 - Art of the Italian Renais-
sance - and will be taught by
Mrs. Pepe. The Classics course
will be 340 - Roman Art and
Architecture - to be taught by
Miss Zenn. Five hours credit will
be given for each course. The
classroom hours will be friendly
and informal, and the entire ses-
sion will last six weeks.

In Rome, the museums and
other sights are usually open
only in the mornings, and are
closed during the warm after-
noons for a long siesta. There-

Earn money at furniture market

This year, Agnes Scott will par-
ticipate in the 1973 Masland
Duran Cover Girl Program.
Sponsored by the Masland Dura-
leather Company, the program
offers students from various
women's colleges the oppor-
tunity to work in a furniture
manufacturer's showroom (with
pay) during the January Furni-
ture Markets.

Furthermore, a $1,000 schol-
arship is awarded to one girl at
each of the seven Furniture Mar-
kets throughout the country.
From these seven, a National
Winner is selected who will re-
ceive a $2,000 scholarship.

Students from Agnes Scott
will represent this vinyl uphol-
stery fabric company at the Fur-

niture Market held in Atlanta for
three days during January. Stu-
dents selected work at the Mar-
ket for $25.00 a day, and one
will be awarded the scholarship
and have a chance at the nation-
al prize.

Anyone interested should fill
out an application in the Dean
of Students' Office. An inter-
viewer will be on the campus on
Wednesday, October 1 1 , to talk
with those students who apply.
Interviews will be held by ap-
pointment on that day from
10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., in
the Office of the Dean of Stu-
dents.

The interviewer would like to
talk with as many as forty or
fifty students. Approximately

twenty-five will be chosen to
work. Sophomores or juniors are
preferred, but interested fresh-
men and seniors are encouraged
to apply. If a senior is selected
and goes on to win a scholarship,
she may apply it to graduate
study.

fore, much of the actual travel
will be done in the morning, and
the afternoons reserved for lec-
tures, discussions and slide pro-
grams.

In and around Rome you will
visit the Roman Forum, the Pal-
latine, the Villa Giulia, the Im-
perial Forum, the Vatican, the
Colosseum, Tarquinia, various
Etruscan tombs in the country,
Hadrian's Villa, Ostia, Naples,
Pompeii, Herculaneum, and
many other places and museums.

Weekends will be free for you
to explore on your own. Flo-
rence is nearby and train travel is
inexpensive. The Mediterranean-
is close by, too, if you want to
take a dip in its famous waters.

As a group, you will be stay-
ing in a convent, which is ac-
tually a non-commercialized
hotel run by the Sisters of Provi-
dence. It is conspicuously clean,
and exceptionally comfortable
and pleasant. And Miss Zenn as-
sured me in our interview that
the sisters "would not dream of
censuring our activities." There
is actually a bar in the hotel,
which is probably the most suit-
able place there to be utilized as
a classroom! The monastery is
located near enough to give easy
and rapid access to many parts
of the city, but secluded enough
to give much privacy.

The total cost of the trip has
not yet been determined exact-
ly, but should run approximate-
ly $1,000.

So come to Rome this sum-
mer. The beauty and joys of the
Eternal City await you.

Greco comes Oct. 9

by PATTY PEARSON

On Monday, October 9, at 8:15
p.m., Jose Greco, renowned Fla-
menco dancer, will give a lec-
ture-demonstration-recital in
Presser Hall. Accompanying
Greco will be his partner, Nana
Lorca, a lead guitarist, and a
maestro at the piano. This event
is sponsored by the Lecture
Committee.

Greco plans to discuss and
then demonstrate the varied
techniques and characteristics of

Spanish dancing and classical
music. He, along with partner
Nana Lorca, will demonstrate
the dancing with the fast and
furious music of the guitar, the
quick beat of the castanets, the
clack of boots, and swinging pet-
ticoats.

Dances from the regions of
Aragon, Basque, Valencia, Cas-
tile and Andalusia will be per-
formed. Spanish classical music,
of which Flamenco guitar and
music are a part, will be dis-
cussed also. Flamenco music and

dancing is said to be close to the
gypsies.

To capture the feeling,
beauty and grace in Flamenco
dancing, Greco will explore the
history and character of the
Spanish people.

Students will undoubtedly
find the lecture very interesting.
As Greco himself stated, 'There
is no reason why an educational
experience cannot be lively,
stimulating, and certainly enter-
taining."

are accentuated by the Mongo-
loid children within their inbred
ranks. Thus begins the anticipa-
tion of the series of inescapable
and brutal disasters from which
there is no turning back. Direct-
or John Boorman [Hell in the
Pacific) and author James
Dickey have recreated brilliantly
for the screen the psychological
aspects of modern man thrust
into barbaric conditions in
which mere survival becomes the
sole consideration.

Burt Reynolds, pin-up play-
mate, demonstrates in Deliver-
ancehh talent in fields otherthan
modeling with his portrayal of
Lewis, the overconfident, self-
appointed Eagle Scout. Bobby
(Ned Beatty) is a paunchy sales-
man who would rather spend the

weekend as an armchair quarter-
back among the comforts of sub-
urban living. Drew, played by
Ronny Cox, cannot accept the
savagery necessary for survival
because of his sensitivity and
moral commitment to himself.
Jon Voight, the Midnight Cow-
boy, makes the outstanding con-
tribution to the success of the
story. Ed's psychological transi-
tion from loving family man to
pure savage is performed with re-
markable insight into what sheer
terror can do to the mind of a
civilized man. ,

The photography of Zsig-
mond captures the untouched
brutal quality of raw nature. Al-
ways, there is the overwhelming
presence of the awesome river -
white and churning carelessly

teasing and waiting patiently to
crush the foolish invaders. Many
have criticized what they term as
an "overemphasis on bloody de-
tail," but I felt that this aspect
added to the overall emotional
impact.

Deliverance kept me rigid in
my seat for the entire two hours,

Publicity Co-Chairman
of Blackfriars

Last year, about 160 people
were involved in the Blackfriars'
spring production, First Impres-
sions. Now the drama club is
looking forward to the return of
many of these people and the ar-
rival of many new faces as they
launch work on their fall pro-
duction, The Skin of Our Teeth,
by Thornton Wilder.

Committee heads have been
assigned and posted on the
Blackfriars bulletin board in the
mailroom. If you would like to
work with live theatre (no ex-
perience necessary), contact one
of these people or just come
over to Dana.

Work hours in the shop are

2:00 to 6:00 p.m., and 7:30 to
11:00 p.m., weekly; Saturday,
2:00 to 6:00 p.m. Work will be
beginning next week.

Even if you have no know-
ledge of theatre, don't be afraid
to go over to Dana - this is edu-
cational theatre and Blackfriars
has plenty of willing teachers.

In the shop you will learn
carpentry and painting; in the
light booth you can be taught
about electricity and sound ef-
fects equipment. If your tastes
do not run to these pursuits, you
can help to find props, learn to
sew costumes, sell ads for pro-
grams, or do any number of dif-
ferent and interesting jobs.

In the theatre, learning really
can be fun. So take a break and
go work for an hour or two each
week. You may be glad you did.

"Manuel" voting methods - the human approach

By KAY PINCKNEY

"Everyone in this county
[DeKalb] is a precious human
being," declared Manuel Maloof,
the popular tavern owner and
Democratic candidate for the
chairmanship of the DeKalb
County Commission, in a speech
delivered at the recent opening
. of his campaign headquarters.
He calls himself "the people's
candidate," in contrast to his op-
ponent Bob Guhl's position as
"the homeowners' candidate."
Manuel cares about people as in-
dividuals. He says "people want
somebody to listen to them . . .
and do something about it."

As Manuel introduced one of
the ladies who is running for of-
fice in DeKalb this year, he sta-
ted his position on equal job op-
portunities. He said when he gets
elected Commission Chairman

and hires employees, "I'm gonna
hire the best qualified people.
Nothing else makes any differ-
ence." The candidate is glad to
see women running for elective
office; he says he's been encour-
aging them to do so for many
years.

One of the issues that Man-
uel, along with many citizens of
Decatur, is concerned about is
the proposed Stone Mountain
Toll way. The Georgia State
Highway Department suggests
three alternate routes for the
tollway. All would seriously dis-
rupt the Decatur community. In
fact, part of Route C of the
eight-lane highway would come
right down College Avenue in
front of ASC, just missing the
front steps of Main.

At a recent public hearing
about the feasibility and desira-

bility of the tollway, both candi-
dates for DeKalb Commission
Chairman voiced their views on
the situation. Bob Guhl suggest-
ed further study on the need for
a toll road. But since he believes
that the toll road is inevitable
for DeKalb County, he favors
Route C as "least disruptive."
This statement was roundly
booed by the audience.

Manuel Maloof, however, re-
marked: "I ain't talking politics.
I'm talking like I talk behind
that bar. They are not going to
build that road. . . .

"They forget you're human
beings out here. They think
you're just numbers. These fel-
lows have got to put down con-
crete," said Manuel.

The "people's candidate" is
speaking up for the citizens of
Decatur and DeKalb County.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following column will be run from now until the elec-
tion. The views of the national candidates on significant issues are presented in
an editorial fashion side by side. Students who wish to add comments or state
another view are encouraged to use the Student Opinion column.

by LUCY BROCKMAN

As the Democratic Presidential candidate, George McGovern has taken a new and
enlightened approach to foreign policy. It is a position responsive to the American
ideals of humanity, democrary and leadership. While we boast of being the number
one power, our country is subjected to jeers and ridicule, both at home and abroad.
The world is restless with doubts and mistrust that make peaceful negotiation and
understanding impossible. If the United States is, indeed, a world leader, then we
must make the first step towards alleviating this situation. McGovern sees this step as
one away from force and adversary diplomacy towards cooperative communication.
The former tactic has been tried repeatedly, but has only met with more of the same.
It's time to try another way.

It's time to end the war that has been draining our country of its manpower,
resources and respect. Senator McGovern spoke out against U. S. involvement in Viet
Nam as early as 1963 - long before opposition became fashionable. In 1970, he
sponsored the McGovern-Hatfield Bill, which called for withdrawal of American
troops by the end of 1971. He has also co-sponsored proposals for the release of
POW's and for Hanoi's observance of the Geneva Convention.

If elected, Mr. McGovern pledges a cease-fire on Inaugural Day, and the return of
troops from Viet Nam within ninety days. He believes that withdrawal and a display
of good intentions will prompt Hanoi to release the POW's, which is his main con-
cern. However, this assumption is not based on blind faith. It is obvious that the
sooner the United States is out of the South, the sooner the prisoners will be out of
the North. McGovern proposes, as well, to keep surrounding troops in Thailand and
the South China Seas, to insure their return.

McGovern's plans for a cut in defense spending and military aid will serve to
alleviate tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States, and will center
our attention on areas of primary American interest. While recognizing the growing
evidence of Soviet advances to the United States for friendship and cooperation, he
will insure the safety of non-Communist countries, such as Israel, with military aid.

McGovern's slogan and his aims have always been for peace through peaceful
measures. In the Senate, as Director of the Food for Peace Program, he converted a
surplus disposal plan into a positive production to meet world food needs. He has
supported the test-ban treaty and the non-proliferation pact. The very potential and
technological advance of the United States can give us all the bargaining power we
might need, while a frantic weapons race can too easily lead to disaster.

The age of containment and entrenchment is, thankfully, drawing to a close on
both sides of the world. It's time now for another period - one of retrenchment and
cooperation. It can only be achieved by improved relations with the Communist
countries. McGovern sees this as a result of increased East-West trade, cooperative
space exploration, international education, and the social and economic development
of underdeveloped nations.

This far-reaching foreign policy does not center its focus on any overseas nation or
continent, but, rather, on you - the American citizen. It is designed to give you a
country in which you can take pride. McGovern will keep the United States the
number one power and influence in the world - not by brute or boorish force but
by setting an example of humanistic maturity and sophistication.

by LYNN LASSITER

End the bombing! End the war! Bring home our POW's! Peace! This is the emotion-
packed rhetoric of the far left. Every American has heard it and most identify these
phrases with George McGovern's foreign policy program - and rightly so. What the
far left, however, does not realize is that in the past four years these have been the
goals of President Richard M. Nixon, not only in Vietnam but also in other areas of
foreign policy. He has replaced the far left's emotionalism concerning the Vietnam
situation with pragmatism, which, in turn, has led to responsive leadership. For those
liberals on the Agnes Scott campus who fail to comprehend pragmatic politics, here
is a brief summary of the Nixon Program in Vietnam.

First and foremost, it is necessary to state that President Nixon has done every-
thing that is possible to end the war. Peace is not just the hope and wish of leftist
followers. When Nixon took office in 1969, there were 543,400 men in Vietnam.
United States combat deaths averaged more than 1 ,000 a month. Under the previous
Democratic President, Lyndon B. Johnson, the South Vietnamese people had been
demoralized through his programs of increasing Americanization and a paternalistic
attitude which invaded all policies toward our allies. When Nixon took office, there
was no plan for ending the war or bringing home our men.

Today Nixon has implemented a successful plan to end the war. Since 1968, he
has brought home nearly 493,000 men and reduced casualties by 95%. He has also
made serious efforts to negotiate a settlement which is fair to both sides and has
prepared the South Vietnamese both militarily and psychologically for accepting the
burden of their war.

On Easter weekend, North Vietnam launched a massive invasion and the war was
again re-escalated. To combat this invasion, it was necessary to answer this with a
strong response. This response has been the target of McGovern and his followers for
the last five months. It was, however, necessary, as Nixon pointed out in his five-
point justification.

First - it was necessary to give the eighteen million people of Vietnam the right
to decide their destiny.

Second it was necessary if one believes in the Domino Theory. North Viet-
namese armies are already in Laos, Cambodia and, to some extent, Thailand. To have
allowed South Vietnam to fall in this way would have endangered three other coun-
tries in Southeast Asia. Thus the stability would have been jeopardized.

Fourth - it was necessary to prove to leaders of other countries that we do stand
by pledges and do not desert allies in time of need.

Fifth - it was necessary to support the principle of peace which states that no
country has the right to attack the territory of another country.

President Nixon, in his acceptance speech of August 23, stated: "There are three
things we have not done and will not do: We will never abandon our prisoners of war;
we will not join our enemies in imposing a Communist government on our allies -
the eighteen million people of South Vietnam; we will not stain the honor of the
United States." These are responsible statements made by a man capable of respon-
sible leadership, a man who desires to end the bombing and the war, who wishes to
bring the POW's home and restore peace to Southeast Asia.

G.R.E.test dates announced

Compiled by JAN LEE

Educational Testing Services has
announced that undergraduates
and others preparing to go to
graduate school may take the
Graduate Record Examinations
on any of six different test dates
during the current academic
year. Testing facilities will be
open at Emory University and at
Georgia State University in our
area.

The first testing date for the
GRE is October 28,- 1972.
Scores from this administration
will be reported to the graduate
schools around December 4.

Students who have not al-

ready registered for the October
test are advised that applications
received by ETS after October 3
will incur a $3.50 late registra-
tion fee. After October 10, there
is no guarantee that applications
for the October test date can be
processed.

The other five test dates are
December 9, 1972, and January
20, February 24 (only the Apti-
tude Test is administered), April
28, and June 16, 1973. Equiva-
lent late fee and registration
deadlines apply to these dates.

Choice of test dates should be
determined by the requirements

of graduate schools or fellowship
sponsors to which one is apply-
ing. Scores are usually reported
to graduate schools five weeks
after a test date. The GRE in-
cludes an Aptitude Test of gen-
eral scholastic ability and an Ad-
vanced Test measuring achieve-
ments in nineteen major fields of
study.

Full details and registration
forms are contained in the
1972-73 GRE Irfformation Bul-

Nixon supporters working away

by LYNN LASSITER

EDITOR'S NOTE: Equal space
will gladly be allowed the Mc-
Govern supporters in the next
issue if they wish to report their
activities.

A meeting to establish the Agnes
Scott Re-elect the President
Committee was held Sunday,
September 24, in Gaines Cot-
tage. Chairmen of the committee
are Lynn Lassiter and Fran
Amsler. Lynn Lassiter will act as
campaign coordinator and con-
sultant, while Fran Amsler will
be in charge of implementing the
programs and recruiting volun-
teers. Class representatives for
the committee are Janifer Mel-
drum, senior class; Sandy Stogs-
dill and Anita Kern, junior class;
Mary Francis Shine, sophomore
class; and Frazer Kinnett, fresh-
man class.

The kick-off for the campaign
took place Wednesday, Septem-
ber 26. On Wednesday, all
thirty-four members of the com-
mittee wore button-badges to
identify those who would be
part of the campaign in the
month to come. This practice
will be continued until the elec-
tion in order that Scotties seek-
ing information concerning the
Republican elections may easily
identify people capable of help-
ing them.

On Wednesday, during con-
vocation, the committee chal-
lenged the McGovern followers
to a competitive volley ball game
tentatively scheduled for Sun-
day, October 8. Wednesday
night, an information booth was
set up outside the dining hall.
On the table were brochures of
Nixon and Fletcher Thompson,
the Republican Senate candidate
for the state of Georgia.

In the weeks to come, an in-

formation booth will be found
every Wednesday night outside
the dining hall, containing infor-
mation of various Republican
candidates. There will be a
special lunch table for Republi-
can followers every Thursday af-
ternoon for both lunches. Lynn
Lassiter and Fran Amsler will be
present to answer any questions
and debate topics at that time.

It is the goal of the com-
mittee to bring political stimula-
tion to the campus, to encourage
beneficial discussions, and to
bring good sportsmanlike com-
petition into the lives of Anges
Scott students.

People interested in partici-
pating in the volley ball game
should notify Jody Hopwood,
committee chairman for this par-
ticular event. Anyone interested
in becoming a member should
notify one of the chairmen or
their class representative on the
committee.

Want to build an organ?

The Agnes Scott Chapter of the
American Guild of Organists is

tration and organ building. The
film will be shown tomorrow,

October 6, at 2:00 p.m., in
Room 3, Buttrick. Mr. Dwight
Peck of Austin Organs, Inc. will
be present to answer questions.

Rep passes
drinking RC's

Trustees meet Oct.27

ED /TOR'S NOTE: On Monday, October 16, all four RC's were over-
whelmingly defeated in Administrative Committee.

by PATRICIA PEARSON

On Tuesday, October 10, REP Council passed all the RC's con-
cerning the changing of the drinking policies at Agnes Scott.
In abbreviated form, these RC's were:

137-

That the consumption of alcoholic beverages be allowed at off-
campus social functions sponsored by the college.
138-

That the consumption of alcoholic beverages be allowed at social
functions on and off campus, sponsored by the college or approved
by BSA.

139-

That the consumption of alcoholic beverages be allowed at social
functions on and off campus, sponsored by the college or approved
by BSA, and that, in addition, there shall be one designated area on
campus where Agnes Scott students may consume alcoholic bever-
ages during designated hours. Consumption of alcoholic beverages in
dorms is strictly forbidden; any violation is automatically a case for
Dorm Council, Interdorm Council or Honor Court.

140-

That the consumption of alcoholic beverages be allowed at social
functions on and off campus, sponsored by the college or approved
by BSA, and that the consumption of alcoholic beverages be allowed
in one designated area on campus as well as privately in student
dormitory rooms.

At an open REP Council
meeting held on October 3, the
merits and pitfalls of the pro-
posed RC's were discussed by
members of the council and stu-
dent body who participated.

Earlier in the day, a random
poll was taken and the results
were: for no change, 55; for
137, 116; for 138, 75; for 139,
68; for 140, 148.

Alice Faulkner presided over
the first part of the meeting
until President Tinsley Swann re-
turned from a previous meeting.

Discussion was opened on RC
1 37 after old business had been
discussed. It was brought up that
if the state says 18-year-olds can
legally drink, why should this
"right" be restricted on this
campus? Some persons stated
that the changing of the drinking
laws would produce a strain on
Honor Court, while others ar-

gued that it should make the
Honor System remain in line
with students' personal values.
Many times the words "personal
freedom" and "community re-
sponsibility" came up. It was
stressed that absolutely no
money for alcoholic beverages
would come from a student's
tuition or SGA funds.

When discussion on RC 138
was opened, it was brought up
that there might be quite a strain
on BSA to try to decide on what
constitutes a "social function"
and what does not. Social Coun-
cil said that Scott functions had
bad responses from boys who
would really like to come, but
felt that their personal freedom
was being restricted by the
standing rules.

There were many stipulations
in RC 1 39 that some found con-

The Board of Trustees of Agnes Scott College
will hold its annual fall meeting Friday, October
27. Following a business meeting, students will be
"orienting" the trustees to Agnes Scott in 1972.

The board members have been asked to arrive
early so that they may lunch with students. Spon-
sored by Mortar Board, the luncheon is an oppor-
tunity for trustees and students to meet and ex-
change ideas. Sign-up sheets will be posted in the
dining room and on the Mortar Board bulletin
board. Mortar Board requests students to sign up
to have lunch with a trustee.

Following their business meeting, the trustees
have asked student leaders on campus to spend
thirty or forty minutes acquainting them with life
at Scott. The students are: Tinsley Swann, presi-
dent of the Student Government Association;
Marcia Knight, chairman of Honor Court; Faye
Allen, chairman of Interdormitory Council; Jane
Parsons, president of Christian Association;
Cynthia Wilkes, chairman of Orientation Council;

COMMITTEE TO SELECT A NEW PRESIDENT

and Melissa Holt, chairman of the Board of Stu-
dent Activities.

The students will explain the orientation pro-
gram for freshmen, the benefits students receive
from proximity to metropolitan Atlanta, the work
and role of Christian Association with special em-
phasis on the ministerial counseling service, and
the role of Honor Court. Also emphasized will be
the work on developing a more satisfactory sign-
out policy, the counseling done by Dorm Council
members on their individual halls, the activities of
the major boards, and the results of the Black Cat
Weekend.

Tinsley Swann stated that she plans to speak
"on the needs and concerns of students," especial-
ly their desire that Scott be maintained as an
"academically strong liberal arts institution." She
also wishes to explore the present campus mood,
and the accomplishments of REP Council for fall
quarter.

A coffee hour with faculty members is
scheduled to follow the board meeting.

Search must involve Scott

by JOYCE McKEE

The trustee members of the Special Committee
to Nominate a President of Agnes Scott are meet-
ing with faculty, student and alumnae advisory
committees today, Thursday, October 19.

The advisory committees are reporting to the
Selection Committee the views of the groups they
represent as well as discussing specific individuals
and their qualifications for the presidency. Stu-
dent opinion has been solicited through a ques-
tionnaire, and a compilation is being presented to
the committee. Since any member of an academic
community must notify the institution he is cur-
rently serving well in advance of any change in
employment, the search for a president must pro-
ceed quickly to meet Dr. Alston's retirement date
of November 1 , 1973.

The members of the Alumnae Advisory Com-
mittee are: Dr. Eleanor N. Hutchens, Dr. Mary
Beth Thomas, and Dr. Mary Curtis Tucker, while
Dr. M. Kathryn Glick, Dr. Richard D. Parry, and
Dr. Margaret W. Pepperdene are the faculty
spokesmen. All of Representative Council is the

SYMPOSIUM TO BE HELD

Student Advisory Committee, but Tinsley Swann,
Leila Kinney, and Susan Freeman are reporting
student opinion to the Selection Committee.

At the first meeting of the Selection Committee
with the advisory committees held October 3,
general principles and qualifications for the presi-
dency were decided. The group specified that the
search should be "an open and broad" one
"involving the entire Agnes Scott community."
The committee recognizes that "at this point in
history, this is a critical and a crucial decision,"
especially since "the president personifies Agnes
Scott's purposes and ideals."

The general qualifications for the president are:
"academic achievement and administrative experi-
ence; a background in the liberal arts; commitment
to liberal arts education with a vision of its con-
tinuing value and role in education; demonstrated
qualities of leadership; and a forceful personality."
The committee is searching for "a vigorous person
able to give at least ten years of service to the
college."

Campbell lectures; discussed

by LUCY BROCKMAN

On October 30 and 31, an election symposium
will be held at Agnes Scott to acquaint students
with the candidates and issues in the foreground of
the coming elections. The program will include
local as well as national politics, and, so, should be
of special interest to those registered to vote in
DeKalb County.

On Monday night, October 30, at 8:15 in
Maclean, Dr. Angus Candler will give a public lec-
ture concerning the national elections. Dr. Candler
is a professor at the University of Michigan, where
he also holds the position of Director of the Sur-
vey Research Center of the University. He has his
Ph.D. from Stanford University, and is considered
the leading authority on electoral behavior. Scott
students will have other chances to speak with Dr.
Candler, for he will be visiting classes and eating in

the dining hall with students.

On Tuesday night, the 31st, there will be a dis-
cussion, also in Maclean, on the local elements of
the national picture. A panel made up of promi-
nent local journalists and politicians will answer
questions asked by a student panel. Following this
program, the Decatur Alumnae group is having a
reception in Rebekah Reception Room, providing
an excellent opportunity to continue discussion
with the panel members.

This timely and informative program is being
organized by the History and Political Science De-
partment, and will be of interest to the entire col-
lege community. It is a healthy reflection of the
growing political awareness and involvement of the
students, and should be taken advantage of by
everyone.

Black students
we need them

On Thursday, October 12, students received in their mailboxes a
set of thoughtful and very thought-provoking questions. The sheet
came from the student liaison members to the Board of Trustees
Committee to Select a New President.

Part of one of the questions read as follows: "How can Agnes
Scott attract a sufficient number of students to continue its tradi-
tion of excellence in a liberal arts education?" I would like to con-
sider one part of an answer to this question in this editorial.

I firmly believe that Agnes Scott needs to institute a program in
which students from minority groups are actively recruited.

Less than a handful of minority group students attend the college
presently. Yet, the policies of the college are not discriminatory.
Scholarship is the criterion on which admission is based.

Then why so few minority group students? Probably not many
want to come here. With Agnes Scott being so overwhelmingly
white, the atmosphere is not always comfortable for students of
other racial groups. I know that if I were a black student going here,
I would probably feel better if there were more black students it's
just human nature.

Therefore, I feel that Scott must take the initiative; we must seek
after these students. If minority group students will not come to us,
then we must go to them. We must encourage these students even
more than we do any others who are applying.

Then perhaps a sufficient number of these students will choose
Agnes Scott so that everyone can feel comfortable. We will have
more students and a more interesting student body. Yet academics
would in no way suffer. The quality of life here would be better for
everyone.

A formerly almost untapped segment of the high school student
population will open up as potential Scott students. We need these
students. Let's tell them so.

Wili Rogers once remarked:
"The short memories of Ameri-
can voters is what keeps our
politicians in office." Before I
started looking (and I still am) at
the records of our two major
candidates, I must admit I was
of the opinion, "Nixon, now
more than ever." It does not
matter whether we are multi-
millionaires or middle class or
paupers, I think we all have an
enormous amount at stake, it is
a shame that the press avoids
mentioning many disturbing ac-
tions that are on the records of
the major candidates that we as
voters need to know.

For example, I am concerned
that an American President has
not opposed the compulsory
psychological treatment for non-
government workers and public
school children. Such legislation
has been proposed. Now, we all
know psychological treatment
can be used for good purposes,
but history proves its frequent
use as a brainwashing tool.

In an August 1968 Gallup
Poll, 46% of the American pub-
lic believed that "big govern-
ment" was the biggest threat to
the country. Recognizing this at-

STUDENT OPINION

titude, Mr. Nixon has geared
much of his campaign rhetoric
to attacking "Big Daddy"
government. However, in prac-
tice, the Nixon Administration
has taken massive steps to fur-
ther concentrate authority in the
Federal "power pinnacle." Al-
though I strongly disagree with
just about everything George
McGovern says, at least he is tell-
ing the truth about what he
would do if elected. With Nixon,
this does not seem to be the
case. In 1968, candidate Nixon,
attacked the quaranteed annual
income as "unworkable" and
"unacceptable." In 1969, Presi-
dent Nixon introduced a plan to
give a guaranteed annual income
to 12-15 million Americans,
costing a minimum of $7 billion
a year. (McGovern and Nixon
seem to agree on this issue.)

This is what Mr. Nixon
promised in his 1968 campaign:
He said he would halt shipment
of war materials from America
to North Vietnam via the Euro-
pean Communist bloc because
these supplies were being used to
kill American soldiers. This is
what Mr. Nixon did after the
election: He reversed himself

and greatly multiplied such
trade. All this time, our press has
remained silent about killing
American soldiers by proxy.

One more example is that
"our assistant president," Henry
Kissinger, was the very embodi-
ment of everything Richard
Nixon denounced during his
1968 campaign. Among those to
hail Nixon's move to the left was
Alger Hiss, the Communist spy
that Richard Nixon helped con-
vict while a young senator.
(August Tribune, October 25,
1971.)

I question very much whether
we have a choice between the
two major candidates. I do feel
very strongly that if issues
between the parties remain
cloudy and gray, centering on
personalities rather than princi-
ples, we as a nation and as indi-
viduals are headed for some
rough times ahead. My con-
science is making it very difficult
to vote for either of our two
major party candidates, and
right now I'm trying to become
informed about Congressman
John S. Schmitz, Presidential
candidate of the American
Party.

UNICEF- trick or treat?

by ERIN SHERMAN

Starving children need food.
Who would possibly disagree
with that? UNICEF just happens
to be a channel unworthy of our
trust or money to get this done!
And it was with a great sense of
relief that I learned that the
Spirit Committee wasn't doing
the old UNICEF routine this
year.

Incompetence is one good
reason to oppose UNICEF. Ad-
ministrative costs consume too
much of their money. In 1961,

the UNICEF publication, Chil-
dren of the Developing Coun-
tries, claimed that with a staff of
575 employees, they distributed
$25 million. This is nothing to
brag about when compared to
the Catholic Relief Services of
'61 that showed a distribution of
$125 million in aid, working
with a staff of 301!

National Review, June 14,
1966, cited just one instance of
financial irresponsibility:
"Twenty million cents will per-

mit UNICEF to occupy quarters
on the sixth floor of the swank
United Nations Plaza, instead of
the unspeakable second floor.
Yes, last week UNICEF was of-
fered the second floor - identi-
cal in layout to the sixth, excejrt
for some additional space at a
saving over five years of
$150,000 to $200,000, plus a
large contribution from a New
York company that wanted to

To the Editor:

The Glee Club would like to
thank the students, faculty and
friends of the college for giving
them the opportunity to spread
the good name of Agnes Scott

not have been possible without
your support.

To the Editors:

Miss Lassiter writes, "Today
Nixon has implemented a suc-
cessful plan to end the war. . . .
He ... has also prepared the
South Vietnamese both mili-
tarily and psychologically for ac-
cepting the burden of their

war." A successful plan to end
the war which has been im-
plemented is surely a plan which
has ended that war. If the South
Vietnamese have been prepared
for accepting the burden of that
'same war, surely that war has
not been ended. I confess con-
fusion. I guess I am just one of
those liberals who fails to
"comprehend pragmatic poli-
tics."

But let us not remain on the
comparatively abstract level of
logic. If we descend to facts, we
see that Nixon's peak phrase
'plan to end the war' means a
plan to end U.S. ground combat
deaths in Vietnam. Not U.S.
combat deaths; we are losing
pilots every week in what is
called the heaviest bombing in
the history of warfare. Not
ground combat deaths; the war
machine of the dictator - and

who now doubts that Thieu is a
dictator after the last "elec-
tions" in Vietnam and sub-
sequent political developments
- which is kept in existence by
billions of dollars from U.S. tax-
payers continues to generate
thousands of dead Vietnamese
each week. Nor should we pass
over the noncombatant deaths
caused by the bombing jn the
North.

Let us hope that the majority
of Americans refuse to be taken
in by the tortured rationaliza-
tions of an Administration
which has the blood of twenty
thousand American combatants
and countless thousands of Viet-
namese combatants and non-
combatants on its hands.

Ministers
offer
good
counsel

by JANE PARSONS
President, Christian Association

The campus counseling serv-
ice begun last year will be of-
fered again in the 1972-1973 ses-
sion. Each of the four minister
counselors will be on campus
one day a week from Monday
through Thursday. The men will
often come for lunch with speci-
fic appointments to be arranged
during the hours of three until
five in the fourth date parlor in
Main. Appointments can be
made by calling the numbers
listed below.

The counseling service is set
up in a professional manner. The
minister is not on the Agnes
Scott staff and therefore is in no
way expected to report on coun-
sel ing sessions. According to
Father Geniesse, the counselor's
professional integrity is of great
importance. Although these men
represent specific churches, they
will be available to students re-
gardless of religious affiliation.

This counseling program was
used by a good number of stu-
dents last year, and so will be
continued. Need an ear? Drop
by or call for an appointment.

A little bit of this... a little bit of that

by ERIN SHERMAN

Let me warn you. Walking
into Delta Resurrection is like
stepping into another world
literally. Located next to Jack
the Stripper's, its treasure chest
of old oddities spills out of the
house, onto the front lawn, and
around to the back working
area. As you wind your way up
through the panorama, your eye
dances from one object to
another, entranced with the
black and red buggy, then the
rainbow of quilts, then an old,
faded blue trunk. It is a visual
feast. Delta Resurrection's call-
ing card capsules business as
"Antique Furniture by Antique
People; Moving, Rental, and
Restoration."

This unusual museum of ar-
ticles, some of which go back to
the mid-1 800's, is the result of
the efforts of Richard Gowdy
Offutt, M.D. When he is not
busily making a piece of furni-
ture or making a fantasy clock
dressed in his blue overalls,
bearded and quaintly bespec-
tacled you might find him
working on Tenth Street in a
community clinic or assisting a
teacher at Emory.

His specialty is tropical
diseases, along with internal

medicines, squash racquets, lawn
tennis, and bicycle touring oh,
and of course, opening up un-
usual shops.

Offutt says he has always
liked to work with his hands a
talent he seems to have gotten
from his father, a talented crafts-
man who carried young Offutt
with him on his travels around
the globe.

Although their stock covers
everything from authentic Ben
Franklin eyeglass frames to polo
shirts, furniture seems to be the
biggest category and also the
fastest selling. They sell out
twice a week! Material is ob-
tained from auctions, old houses
being torn down, and just about
any place imaginable. Offutt said
that they charge $100 to wreck
a room and are allowed to take
anything from the premises that
they find, including trunks,
doors, etc. Barn doors make in-
teresting headboards and Delta
Resurrection is busily "resurrect-
ing" these to a state of useful-
ness.

Delta Resurrection has an in-
teresting clothes closet. Maybe
you wouldn't want a pair of
1930's high heel shoes to wear
on your next date but then
again you might. Perhaps a silk

dress from the 1940's would
turn that SAE's head, or maybe
some genuine rodeo blue jeans -
well-aged (but cleaned) would
do the trick. Delta's clothes
closet has got clothes going back
to the mid-1 800's, as well as
contemporary oddities (such as a
pilot's pressure suit) to spruce
up your wardrobe.

Delta's future looks bright.
Delta Resurrection Number 2
and Number 3 are opening up in

Decatur. One specializes in 17th
and 18th century and children's
furniture. Classes in silversmith-
ing, antiquing and furniture
making will be started some time
in December, so Delta will per-
form an educational as well as a
practical function. Deliveries will
soon be made in Model T's, and
if Offutt gets a horse, you may
get your refinished rocking chair
delivered at Main by buggy ex-
press.

While everyone was playing
and working this summer, im-
provements were being made on
the Agnes Scott campus for the
1972-1973 school term. Major
additions as well as minor addi-
tions and renovations took
place.

All the dormitories and cot-
tages were painted and repairs
were made where needed. In
Main, the first floor was car-
peted, two parlors were redeco-
rated, new suitcase racks were
built, and new tile showers and
kitchen floors were installed. Im-
provements in Rebekah included
new appliances and kitchen re-
modeling. For Hopkins, a new
study room was built in the
attic, a new kitchen was built on
the first floor, and the inside of
the dorm was replastered. New
kitchen floors were put in
Hardeman and Sturgis Cottages.

The following improvements
were made in Buttrick Hall: re-
modeling in the Education De-
partment and the News Office;
painting and reorganizing in the
bookstore; replastering and re-

painting in rooms on the first
and second floors.

There were many other build-
ings in which renovations were
made. A new office was built in
the infirmary for Dr. Peltz. The
gym, the infirmary, Gaines Audi-
torium, and all the halls and first
floor music rooms in Presser
were painted. The library was
furnished with new electric
transformers. The faculty houses
were repainted and repaired
where needed. Work was done
on the steam plant boilers and
new steam lines were laid to the
dining hall, which was also re-
painted inside.

All buildings were thoroughly
cleaned. The furniture, drapes
and carpets were cleaned and
mended. A large number of
blinds and shades were repaired
or replaced. Additional improve-
ments included the grounds that
were fertilized, some dead trees
that were removed, and the
shrubbery and dead limbs that
were trimmed.

A lot was happening around
here last summer.

The
Student

Vote

Admittedly \ girls, we haven't knocked them over with our politi-
cal activism. I mean Agnes Scott has not been known for her massive
demonstrations and strikes even when such were so popular on the
college campuses. I don't believe that we're apathetic, just perhaps
willing to let the democratic process work the best way it can.

The results from the voter registration drive held here on Septem-
ber 18 were encouraging. Of the 474 students polled, 97.0% were
already registered or registered that day. The fourteen students not
registered were under the voting age of eighteen. The poll did not
reach 141 students.

Now let us be sure and very careful that we all do vote. The
privilege is a precious one which we can not afford to take for
granted.

Information concerning registration and absentee ballots is print-
ed below. Please note carefully the deadlines for the state in which
you are registered.

If you need an absentee ballot, in requesting one from the town,
city, or county clerk, be sure to include your name, home address,
the address where the ballot should be sent and the reason (such as
being a student away from home) for needing an absentee ballot.

Then, once the ballot is received, you must follow the directions
exactly or the ballot may be invalidated. Many states require that
the ballot not be opened until the voter is in the presence of a
notary public. The notaries on campus are Anne Stapleton, recorder
and financial aid officer, and Miriam Young S ma I ley, assistant to the
treasurer.

Finally, be aware of the deadline for returning the ballot to elec-
tion officials.

Don 't let the considerable red tape tie you down. If your college
education does nothing more for you than allow you to figure out
the voting procedures and execute them correctly, then it has done
quite a lot.

Allow me to leave this final word of wisdom with you.

PERSPECTIVE

Nunn & Thompson fighting it out in the ring

by KAY PINCKNEY

Senator Richard B. Russell of
Georgia died early in 1971.
David H. Gambrell was appoint-
ed by Governor Jimmy Carter to
finish out the unexpired term,
until such time that an election
could be held to choose Russell's
successor.

After the returns in the gen-
eral primary run-off elections of
August 29, 1 972, had been
counted, two men emerged as
the final contenders for the of-
fice of United States Senator
from Georgia: State Representa-
tive Sam Nunn and Congressman
Fletcher Thompson. Each has
his own basic campaign slogan. I
quote: "Get tough in Washing-
ton. Put SAM NUNN in the U.
S. Senate," and, "Fletcher
Thompson is for YOU!"

Each candidate prides himself
on his platform which "sticks to
the issues in this campaign."
Their official platforms are quite
similar issues in common
being welfare, the Federal
courts, taxes and inflation, ed-
ucation (to bus or not to bus,
and other concerns), government

spending, and Social Security
benefits.

The two "issue-oriented" can-
didates agreed to debate one
another before various influen-
tial organizations in Georgia, one
being the Butler Street YMCA
Hungry Club Forum. At their
first joint appearance, the
"issue" discussed was "Did Sam
Nunn in fact meet with Govern-
or George Wallace or did he
merely speak with him by
phone?" This inane but slightly
amusing discussion almost erupt-
ed into a fist fight, the battle of
words got so fierce.

Suddenly . . . Calm
Round Two was calmer. The
second audience heard one can-
didate out - he left the gather-
ing and five minutes later, the
other candidate arrived and gave
his speech to- the group. Non-
issues were not mentioned.

Debate number three saw
Nunn speaking in person with
Thompson's voice and opinions
piped in on a telephone hookup
from somewhere.

The Hungry Club, which was
to hear the Senate candidates
next, saw both do a vanishing
act.

Mr. John Lewis, Director of the Voter Education Project, ad-
dresses the Butler Street YMCA Hungry Club Forum.

For many years, the biracial
Hungry Club Forum has pro-
vided weekly "food for taste and
food for thought for those who
hunger for information and asso-
ciation." Leaders and followers
of Atlanta's progressive leader-
ship come together to hear poli-
ticians, educators, theologians
and other distinguished speakers,
and question them closely on
their ideas.

Late in August of this year,
both Thompson and Nunn were
asKed if they would debate be-
fore the Hungry Club. Thomp-
son said no, he could not attend,
but would send a representative.
Sam Nunn agreed to a debate,
and the date was set.

Five days before the sched-
uled debate was to occur, the
publicity director of the Hungry
Club called Nunn to confirm the
date. Nunn's secretary informed
her that Mr. Nunn "had to maKe
radio and television advertise-
ments for himself" and could
not appear at the Hungry Club,
but he could send a representa-
tive to speaK in his behalf.

The debate was cancelled,
however, and John Lewis, direct-
or of the Voter Education Pro-
ject, came as a substitute speak-
er. Mr. Lewis and State Repre-
sentative Julian Bond have
toured the eleven Southern
states for the past year-and-a-
half, leading voter registration
drives among the potential black
electorate. He firmly believes
that "the ballot can be a weapon
for change," and "who governs
does make a difference."

When asked his opinion of
Nunn's and Thompson's non-
appearance before the predom-
inantly black audience, Lewis
suggested that perhaps arrogance
or fear of the audience kept the
two candidates away, or "maybe
a lack of respect for this segment
of the electorate."

There are significant differ-
ences between the two candi-
dates for United States Senate,
but these differences are learned
by reading their platforms and
observing their past legislative
performances, not their every-
day tragi-comic antics.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following column will be run from now until the elec-
tion. The views of the national candidates on significant issues are presented in
an editorial fashion side by side. Students who wish to add comments or state
another view are encouraged to use the Student Opinion column.

by LYNN LASSITER

The Nixon Administration over the last four years has provided the largest tax cut
in American history. Essentially, this was accomplished through two major bills, the
Tax Reform Act of 1969 and the Revenue Act of 1971. Through their passage the
equity and efficiency of the tax structure was improved. These bills have removed
from the tax roll almost all citizens whose incomes are below the poverty level.

When Nixon took office in 1969, single persons were still paying taxes on $900
annual income. Now in 1972 this level has raised to $2,050. For a family of four the
minimum-income tax level has been raised from $3000 in 1969 to $4,300 in 1972.

Even with these achievements the Nixon Administration realizes that taxes are
still too high. That is why one of the goals of the Administration is to reduce the
property tax, giving homeowners some relief from rising State and local property
taxes. The Nixon Administration feels that this particular tax has been a burden on
the poor, the elderly, the farmer, and those on fixed incomes.

In the Republ ican Platform for 1972 three major goals have been emphasized.
First, the present Administration would like to keep the over-all tax load where it is
at this time.

Second, it is the goal of the Republicans to make the tax laws simpler without
shifting tax burdens. It is this second goal which distinguishes Republican tax reform
from that of the Democrats. In the McGovern plan a much larger tax burden would
be placed on the upper middle class, wealthy individuals, and corporations.

Third, the Republicans would like to shift educational expenses from the local
level to the federal level. At the present time local and State governments depend
upon property taxes to pay for school expenses. With more Federal government
assistance the local and State property taxes could be reduced.

The Nixon Administration realizes that Americans still pay one third of all their
income in taxes. However, if the McGovern plans (i.e., adding 82 million more people
to the welfare rolls) were to be accepted, this would mean a net increase of 144
billion dollars to the budget. This would mean an increase of 50 per cent in what the
taxpayers of America pay.

Look at the implications. Once Americans begin to work more for the Govern-
ment than they do for themselves, we begin on a road which will destroy incentive,
the core of our economic system.

by LUCY BROCKMAN

In McGovern's primary campaign, he announced an economic program that has
since been revised. However, his present policy is consistently confused with the old
one. The basic philosophy remains the same, but several important factors have been
changed. The policy is designed to alleviate the tax burden put upon the average
working man by closing tax loopholes open to the wealthy "big business" interests.

The thrust of the program indicates that income is income no matter what the
source. A notable addition to McGovern's tax reforms is a proposal to tax capital
gains at the same rate as wage and salary income. However, McGovern pledges that
"no American whose income comes from wages and salaries would have to pay one
penny more in taxes than he does now." While tightening up on large corporation
and investment loopholes, he will leave open those used by the average person, such
as deductions for medical expenses and interest on mortgage loans. In addition, the
top tax on earned income would go down to 48% from the present maximum of
70%.

McGovern will tighten tax treatment of profits earned by U. S. corporations
operating abroad. He will also tax foreign profits of U. S. corporations whenever
earned, not only when remitted as dividends. Such reforms would narrow the tax gap
between the very wealthy - some of whom pay no taxes - and the average working
man.

The revenue from these taxes will go into a $10 billion program to create jobs and
a new national income insurance plan to aid the poor. This will involve increased
Social Security benefits, an expanded food stamp program, and higher public assist-
ance payments. The tax revenue would be supplemented by cuts in the Defense
budget.

Senator McGovern offers in his economic policy the most precise program of tax
reforms ever formulated by any Presidential candidate. The New York Times, in
support of McGovern, stated that it was time *to re-focus our attention on the
growing discontent and social problems at home. The administration has been under
the thumb of a few big business corporations for too long, while the interests of the
average American have been ignored. This is the idea behind McGovern's overall
platform, and his tax reforms and entire economic policy proffer the beginnings of a
solution to these problems.

McGovern workers pressing to win more support

by CELESTE WALLNER
Chairman
McGovern-Shriver Committee

The Agnes Scott Committee
for McGovern-Shriver began of-
ficial campaigning on campus on
September 18. On that day,
tables were set up for Andrew
Young, candidate for Congress
from the Fifth District; Manuel
Maloof, candidate for DeKalb
County Commission; and George
McGovern.

Since that time, we have ex-
tended our services to the com-
munity as well as the campus,
helping with voter registration,
leafletting, office work and can-
vassing.

We were very interested in
obtaining a large turn-out of

Agnes Scott students for the
debate between Robert Shaw,
Chairman of the Republican
Party of Georgia, and Robert K.
Lifton, New York businessman
and key economic advisor for
McGovern. This event was spon-
sored by Georgia State Univer-
sity and broadcast live over
WRAS, the Georgia State radio
station. The program featured a
question and answer period
during which the audience, es-
timated to be at least 90%
McGovern supporters, effective-
ly took the Nixon representative
to task.

In addition, our campus com-
mittee is working closely with
the Decatur McGovern-Shriver
Headquarters, as well as with

other college and university
committees in the metro Atlanta
area.

The McGovern-Shriver Com-
mittee on campus is a joint ef-
fort of the students and faculty.
The campaign chairman on cam-
pus is Celeste Wallner. Dorm
heads are: Patti Bartlett, Hop-
kins; Louise Huff, Inman;
Wendy Bridges, Main; Marianne
Bradley, Rebekah; Ann Poe,
Walters; and Janice Burr, Win-
ship. The cottage heads are:
Taffy Stills, Bowen; Nancy
Garcia, Hardeman; and Laurie
Gleason, Sturgis. The treasurer
in charge of fund raising is Taffy
Stills and the Communications
Committee chairman is Margaret
Pittenger.

every Thursday in the mailroom
between 9:30 a.m. and 2:00

In an effort to provide the
students of Agnes Scott with the
opportunity to compare and
contrast the candidates' policies
and thus make an educated and
intelligent choice in this most
important election, both the
McGovern and the Nixon Com-

mittees will submit articles on
the candidates' views to the
"Politics 72" section of the
PROFILE from now until the
election. The McGovern Com-
mittee has also challenged the
Nixon Committee to a debate so
that issues and answers may be
presented and discussed.

Edward Kennedy recently de-
clared, "We are being called on
to decide not just what kind of
government we want to have but
what kind of country we want
to be." It is up to all of us to
work diligently for the kind of
country we want to have.

If you have a free afternoon
or night, come volunteer to
work on the McGovern Com-
mittee on campus or in the com-
munity. This may be one of the
most important contributions
you make for the sake of our
country.

Deck-y our -dorm
for Nov. 3

By KAREN HALE

Deck Your Dorm is coming!
Straighten your hall! Rake your
room! Clean your kitchen!
Brighten your bathroom!

On November 3, the annual
Deck Your Dorm competition
will be held. There will be a fa-
culty member and a day student
to judge the rooms in each dorm
(and another in the cottages),
and to award prizes for the best
rooms. Another panel of judges
will go to all the dorms and
judge the best all-around dorm,
and the best room on campus.

The judges look not only at
individual student rooms, but al-
so at laundry rooms, kitchens,
studios, bathrooms, basements,
halls, lobbies, and even bulletin
boards. They also note the num-
ber of rooms whose doors are
closed and do not wish to be
judged.

Three prizes are awarded in
each dorm first, second and
third prize for Best Room. One
Best Room is awarded each cot-

tage, an award is given for the
Best Room on Campus, and a
plaque mav be given for Best
Overall Dorm.

Rebekah has won the big
prize for the last two years. Will
it win again? Or will the under-
dog dorms of the campus turn
out some competition? Stay
tuned to all announcement
sources for an answer!

Delivering a movie to the viewers

Slaughter House Five is a

Brought to the screen by Ste-
phen Geller, it condenses a

Art exhibit to
open in Dana

by EVA GANTT

Beginning October 22, a collection of American art of the nine-
teenth and early twentieth centuries will be on exhibit in the Dalton
Galleries of the Dana Fine Arts Building.

Also on display will be the Paul A. Clifford collection of ancient
Peruvian art. Clifford is an amateur archeologist who lives in the
Atlanta area.

On loan from the High Museum of Art, the American exhibit
comprises mostly oil on canvas works. Some of the paintings to be
shown are George Bellows' Portrait of Anne, William Glac kens' Still
Life with Roses and Fruit, Chile Hassam's Seascape Isle of Shoals,
George Inncss' Eventide, George Luks' Winter Highbridge, John
Sloan's Quaker Nell, and John Henry Twachtman's Hayrick.

Other works include Charles Melville Dewey's watercolor Land-
scape, Edward Hopper's watercolor Cape Elizabeth , Ernest Lawson's
oil on cardboard Train and Bridge, Henry O. Tanner's tempera on
canvas Etaples Fisher Folk, and Daniel Huntington's pencil on paper
Landscape with Bridge.

From the Clifford collection will be over fifty objects represent-
ing all the major ancient Peruvian civilizations from about 850 B. C.
to 1 532 A. D.

An opening reception will be held in Dana on Sunday afternoon,
October 22, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The exhibit will be on display
through December 8. Dalton Galleries are open to the public Mon-
day through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Saturday, from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and Sunday, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.

War II, to present prosperous liv-
ing in suburban Minneapolis, to
a bizarre existence on the planet
Trafamadore. The authenticity
of the scenes of the bombing of
Dresden are verified by the survi-
val of Slaughter House's author,
Kurt Vonnegut. The movie is
partly autobiographical, Vonne-
gut having been a P. O. W. in
Nazi occupied Dresden. His anti-
-war intentions are ever present.

Billy Pilgrim, played by
Michael Sacks, is the nucleus of
the entire story. He does an ex-
cellent portrayal of an enigmatic
character who remains on the
same plane of seeming apathy at
all times. Billy's obese and over-
loving wife is played very con-
vincingly by Sharon Gans. The
two other outstanding characters
are Lazarro, the epitome of ob-
noxious Americanism (Ron
Leibman), and Montana Wild-
hack (Valarie Perrine), Billy's
dream woman. The characteri-
zations demonstrate tremendous
insight into many aspects of the

American way of life.

Worthy of praise is the pho-
tography, mainly because it
brings fantastic events into the
scope of reality. It binds toge-'
ther scenes from parallel stories
with fade-outs so that there are
never any awkward disconnec-
tions which could have occurred
in less skillful hands.

Added to the resourcefulness
of photography is the all-Bach
musical score, arranged and per-

formed by Glen Gould.

Slaughter House Five has an
unusual appeal which is difficult
to describe. There are a few in-
consistencies and many unan-
swered questions which are left
to the viewer's imagination.
Vonnegut has been known for
his elusive symbolism; and it is
definitely a challenge to attempt
an interpretation. The oppor-
tunity awaits at the Rhodes
Theater on Peachtree Street.

To the Freshmen:

With Black Cat comes the traditional end of Orientation for
new students, and hopefully, the production and other activities
of the weekend will really be the highlight of the orientation
period. But we hope that orientation groups will continue the
special relationships that were begun with those first summer
letters. We also hope that new students will feel free throughout
the year to ask a member of Orientation Council or any upper-
classman for help if it is needed, because the goal of Orientation
is to help you make a smooth transition from being a "new
student" to being a real Scottie!

Friday afternoon, two hockey games are sche-
duled. The senior class challenges the sophomore
class, and the juniors will be pitted against the
freshmen. The Athletic Association will be selling
refreshments popcorn, cotton candy and can-
died apples. They will also sell ASC sweatshirts.
The proceeds from the sale of refreshments and
sweatshirts will be used to purchase lights for the
tennis courts. The hockey games will begin at
4:30, with the senior-sophomore game scheduled
first. The campus picnic will begin at 5:30, and
picnickers are encouraged to eat a leisurely meal
and watch the hockey games.

Administrating feeding of children

(continued from page 2)
tive director, touring in Africa,
telegraphed to the real estate
agents on the sixth; so, since
ALCOA, the building owner,
had a 'moral agreement' with the
U.N., that was that."

Another case of UNICEF
squandering funds is reported in
G. Edward Griffin's The Fearful
Master, A Second Look at the
United Nations: "UNICEF re-
ceived one dollar for two
teacher's manuals advertised in
one of its promotional pam-
phlets; it sent not only the
manuals, but a large box con-
taining hundreds of expensively
printed brochures glorifying the
purposes and accomplishments
of UNICEF. This unrequested
and unwanted material was
shipped first class airmail at a
total postage cost of $10.40. Ac-
cording to U.N. statistics, this
could have purchased 5,200
glasses of milk."

Moral and spiritual considera-
tions make it extremely difficult
for me to wave the UNICEF
seasonal banner. I believe Chris-
tians should love their enemies,
but I don't think this means
helping evil men tyranize others.
Food and supplies sent to Com-
munist countries are used as
political weapons to keep the
people in check.

Only months after the brutal
Communist takeover of Cuba in
1960, UNICEF voted to send
the new regime $170,000 for

"health services" and for "en-
vironmental sanitation." It
would be interesting to know
how the money was really spent
since in 1964, a UNICEF allot-
ment of $125,000 (in addition
to an emergency fund bundle of
$205,000) purchased a fleet of
jeeps and trucks. (These were
not milk trucks.)

UNICEF money purchased
military weaponry for the U.N.'s
"peace-keeping" aggression on
Katanga in 1961. These U.N.
forces "peacefully" bombed
hospitals and civilians indiscrimi-
nately. Stanton Evan's column
in The Indianapolis News for
January 26, 1962, reported:
"When the U.N. was out of
money for its Congo aggression,
it borrowed $10 million, ear-

marked for UNICEF, from the
U.S. government. This was
UNICEF money - handed over
with UNICEF's express consent
... in short . . . UNICEF
moneys were used to subsidize
the Katanga aggression."

Stop and think the next time
UNICEF propaganda is placed in
front of you with all of its color
and innocence. Think about
Katanga. Think about the chil-
dren of Free China who have not
had the benefit of "peace" -
Communist style. The United
Nations' treatment of their
country is certainly open to seri-
ous questioning. Until our ques-
tions are adequately answered,
we should channel our money
and support into organizations
more worthy of our trust.

Great Scott

/. Why is Agnes Scott continuing to buy so much land with
recent contributions and not using the money for more seemingly
immediate needs?

This question was directed to Dr. Paul McCain, vice president
for development. Dr. McCain explained that the recent contribu-
tions have been explicitly earmarked for the buying of property.
The college could not have used the money for anything else.

The college is interested in buying property as an investment
for future expansion. If land becomes available, money contri-
buted to the college for this purpose is used to purchase the land

Committee explains views

On Monday, October 16, the
four RC's regarding the drinking
policy were defeated in Adminis-
trative Committee. The feelings
of the majority of the commit-
tee members are expressed in a
letter addressed to Tinsley
Swann, President of Student
Government. This letter is print-
ed in its entirety below.

the consumption of alcoholic

October 21, 1972

Dear Tinsley:

In accordance with the action taken at the close
of the Administrative Committee meeting held on
October 16, this letter is being sent to you as a
means of communicating to students the views of
a majority of the committee members regarding
RC's 137-140. As you know, the committee, after
a discussion lasting one and one-half hours, voted
to defeat each of these four RC's relating to the
consumption of alcoholic beverages at college
functions or in any way on campus.

You and the members of Representative Coun-
cil are to be commended on the efficient and dili-
gent manner in which the entire project was pur-
sued. We appreciate the faqt that many hours have
been freely given to this project, particularly by
members of your ad hoc committee who^ gathered
data, listened to opinions, and formulated pro-
posals. Student opinion was well represented by
\>nu and Clare Smith in our meetina.

The fact that the outcome of any vote taken by
the Administrative Committee may or may not re-
flect what is apparently the prevailing student
opinion is always a matter of concern to us. We
place great value on your representative govern-
ment and the fine spirit with which student leaders
have consistently referred legislation for Adminis-
trative Committee approval. As you know, it is
because of our high regard for students that mem-
bers of the committee strive to uphold whenever

beverages at off-campus social
functions. RC 138 would have
permitted consumption of alco-
holic beverages at on- and off-
campus social functions. RC 139
added to these rights the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages
at one designated area on cam-
pus. RC 140 included all of the
above, as well as the right to
consume alcoholic beverages pri-

vately in the dormitory rooms.

On Tuesday, October 24,
REP Council passed a motion
setting up a new ad hoc commit-
tee. This committee - consisting
of Marianne Bradley, Ann
Christensen, Lib McGregor and
Marta Powell - is to rework and
restudy RC 137; it may even-
tually be sent back to Adminis-
trative Committee.

possible the recommendations referred by Honor
Court and Representative Council. It is note-
worthy that since 1969, when you and your class-
mates entered Agnes Scott, every major piece of
legislation referred by Representative Council has
been approved with only a few recommendations
for modification and/or clarification.

For these reasons, it was with particular regret
that we could not approve the most recent pro-
posals from Representative Council. It was the
considered opinion of the committee that to per-
mit alcoholic beverages at college functions or in
specific places on campus would not be in the best
interest of the college itself or in the best interest
of all individuals concerned.

The following questions were raised, but they
were not the grounds for the action taken. 1

In relation to RC's 138 and 139, for example,
the question of locations for storage of alcoholic
beverages was raised.

In relation to RC's 138, 139, and 140, concern
was expressed regarding the assignment to mem-
bers of BSA the responsibility, and perhaps unjust
pressure, for determining for their peers what is
and what is not a social function.

Finally, related to all four RC's, the members
of the committee felt an obligation to observe and
honor the rights and beliefs of those students who
do not wish to share in or be associated in any way

MOCK ELECTION

Campus
to vote

By LYNN LASSITER

In an attempt to study the
voting behavior of the college
community, the Political Science
326 class is sponsoring a mock
election. There are no voting
qualifications except that a per-
son be affiliated with the Scott
campus. This includes the ad-
ministration, the faculty, the
staff, the custodians and the stu-
dent body.

The mock election polls
opened this morning at 7:30,
and they will close this evening
at 6:45. Polling booths are loca-
ted in the Hub, the mail room
and the dining hall.

The information from this
poll, along with the data gather-
ed in the political survey of a
few weeks ago, will be used to
analyze how the Scott commu-
nity voted, and to determine
what the influential factors were
which caused the outcome. Once
this information has been deter-
mined, the class hopes to com-
pare the Scott results with other
colleges and universities across
the country. It is the intention
of the class to publish the final
results in the Alumni Quarterly.

The more people who partici-
pate today in this election, the
more accurate the final analysis
will be. Mr. Moomaw's 326 Poli-
tical Science class asks for your
support.

Gulliver guest
at election talk

On November 8, the Wednes-
day convocation will host Hal
Gulliver, the assistant editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, who
will give a commentary on the
election returns. Mr. Gulliver,
along with most of the rest of
us, will probably be up most of
the night before, watching those
returns come in. The speaker
and his audience may then be a
little bleary-eyed, but the analy-
sis of why what happened did
ought to be very interesting.

REP Council, by the way, is
sponsoring an Election Watch
the night of November 7. TV's,
coffee and doughnuts will be
plentiful. Some of the Political
Science professors will be on
hand to help interpret the results
as they come in.

PROFII E / November 2, 1972

A toast to RC 137

Most students were bitterly disappointed over the defeat of RC's
137, 138, 139 and 140 in Administrative Committee. REP Council
has appointed a new ad hoc committee to rework RC 137. This RC,
as you probably recall, would allow the consumption of alcoholic
beverages at off-campus social functions. Once finished, if the new
form of RC 137 passes REP Council, it will again be submitted to
Administrative Committee. I would like to put in a plug for RC 137
with this editorial.

From the letter sent to Tins ley (see article, page 1 ), the major
thrust of the committee's objection to a change in the drinking
policy was that it would be out of character with the school. With
regard to RC 1 37, I don 't believe that this position holds.

The catalog states that "a liberal arts curriculum, academic excel-
lence, and individual development in a Christian context are founda-
tion principles of the College. "

I don 't think that any one of us would try to find a relationship
between allowing drinking at off-campus social functions and aca-
demic excellence not many people come in from a dance and
crack open the books.

Then what about "the individual development in a Christian con-
text"? I don 't see any conflict. There is nothing in my own Christian
faith which causes me to object to social drinking. (I seem to recall a
wedding in Cana at which, rather than let the wine run out and the
hostess be embarassed, Christ changed water into wine.) Although
people are of course free to choose not to drink, there is nothing in
the Christian faith which requires temperance.

Drinking at off-campus social functions seems appropriate to me
and to many other students. REP Council passed this RC the first
time unanimously. I strongly urge the committee to reconsider.

Ph.D. and thee

Recently, one of my friends told me about a discussion that had
taken place in a class she has under Geraldine M. Meroney, Associate
Professor of History. The idea then is not original with me, but I
thought it such a good one that it deserved to be in print.

Why do the students of Agnes Scott refer to most all male pro-
fessors with a Ph.D. degree as Dr. So-and-so, and yet call female
professors with the same degree Miss, Mrs. or Ms. So-and-so? Think
about it. This "unwritten law" is followed with few exceptions.

Here we are women ourselves practicing this obvious bit of discri-
mination. Moreover, we can't help but care about the position of
women, perhaps especially in education and in scholarship.

The degree took just as much work and dedication for the woman
to earn as it did for the man the woman deserves to be called by
the title just as much. No one of us could argue with that.

Why then and how did this practice come about? Probably it is
simply a case of oral tradition. But I think this is one tradition that
had better be abandoned.

I propose that we begin to address all professors who hold the
Ph.D. degree with the title Doctor unless, of course, the individual
asks to be called otherwise. We should show this respect equally
it s only fair.

Dr. Meroney, I do thank you.

To the Editor:

Members of the Agnes Scott
community have written the
paper regarding their views on
the Presidential election and on
the issues involved in the choice
between Mr. Nixon and Mr.
McGovern. Speaking as a long-
time student of the "science" of
leadership, I would like to bring
to this community's attention an
aspect regarding the difference
between Nixon and McGovern
which I believe to be important
and which, as I read what has
been said on both sides, has been
largely overlooked.

Leadership is a very impor-
tant part of what the American
people have come to expect
from their President, but leader-
ship comes in many styles. The
"traditional" style of leadership
is that which we have come to
associate with corporate enter-
prise: a top-down or hierarchical
means of organizing the affairs
of business and state. Participa-
tion in the leadership function is
limited to those close to the 'op,
leaving the majority with little
motivation to act or think crea-
tively. The "traditionalist" lead-
er apnears to run a very orderly

organization, but it is, in my
opinion, an order bought at the
cost of severely limiting the de-
velopment of the creative poten-
tial in those who are led.

At the other extreme is the
"communal" style of leadership,
one in which the leader attempts
to lead through the aggregation
of the creative input which this
approach to leadership encour-
ages in the leader's public. It is
the job of the "communal" lead-
er to aid those who are led in the
disciplined formulation of their
ideas and to make' the hard deci-
sions occasioned by resource
scarcity. The "communal" style
is by far the most rare and by far
the most difficult style to make
appear orderly, and, in my ob-
servation, we Americans place a
higher value on the appearance
of order than we do on the
moral benefits to be gained by
creative, but somewhat disorder-
ly, growth and personal, and na-
tional, development.

As with most things, one
man's order is another man's
confinement, or, perhaps, con-
tainment. For those valuing the
appearance of order, the price of
creative activity is too high - is,
in a sense, a confinement in a

condition which lacks the ap-
pearance of order. For those
who value the development of
creative potential, order comes
at too high a price. To my mind,
Mr. Nixon exhibits all the ele-
ments of "traditionalist" leader-
ship, while Mr. McGovern dis-
plays all the signs of a fledgling
4 'aggregativistic" (new word)
leader. The former promises or-
der at the cost of a national
sense of excitement in new-
found possibilities, while the lat-
ter promises discovery - both
personal and national - at the
cost of old-style non-involve-
ment in the political process, the
old-style "order."

To my mind, these differ-
ences - differences in style -
overcome almost all other issues
in this election. I very much
want to live in a, nation which
has a sense of self-discovery, of
excitement over what we might
be. I prize order, but I value for
myself and for others the oppor-
tunity for growth which I be-
lieve may be possible under Mr.
McGovern's leadership.

Drinking
freedom

To the Editor:

As Agnes Scott students and
supposedly intelligent, adult wo-
men, we are concerned with the
lack of confidence displayed by
the Administrative Committee in
our ability to effectively assume
responsibility. Such a deficiency
in confidence has been most re-
cently displayed by this commit-
tee's refusal to accept, or even
consider as feasible, a decision
reached after long preparation
and careful scrutiny by REP
Council, supposedly the formal
voice of our campus community.

This decision involved the
ability of the Agnes Scott com-
munity to assume the responsibi-
lity of autonomously controlling
the consumption of alcoholic
beverages within its communal
structure. The Administrative
Committee directly opposed
REP by concluding that the

Agnes Scott community was not
capable of assuming such respon-
sibility.

This lack of confidence can
be derived from only two possi-
ble sources:

1. In the inability of the
Agnes Scott community to con-
duct themselves as intelligent,
adult women, or

2. In the inability of those
who provide their guidance of
this community through the Ad-
ministrative Committee to ac-
cept us as intelligent, adult wo-
men.

If the problem is derived
from the first source and Agnes
Scott College is not a commu-
nity of intelligent, adult women,
then its existence is a farce and
its perpetuation absurd. If, how-
ever, the problem arises from the
Administrative Committee's in-
ability to accept us as such, then
the need for correction lies with
them.

Such a discrepancy in the
basic assumptions of those who
comprise the community and
those who guide it cannot con-

tinue without serious conse-
quences which include:

1. A complete breakdown of
the Honor Code as an arbitrary
formulation of rules imposed on
the community from without
and not sanctioned within,

2. The disruption of campus
continuity through the inability
of its members to identify with
its doctrines and the necessity of
their searching without for new
identity attachments,

3. The failure of such a com-
munity to attract new partici-
pants.

Such a pervasive discrepancy
cannot long endure without
serious detriment to the health
and survival of the Agnes Scott
community. As concerned mem-
bers of this community, we urge
that the Administrative Commit-
tee reassess the motives behind
their recent refusal to yield a re-
sponsibility to which we are en-
titled.

Respectfully submitted,
Ann Cassilly
Celeste Wallner

A mistake corrected

October 20, 1972
I am writing in order to call attention to an
error on page 3 of the October 19th edition of
the PROFILE. This error appears in the final
paragraph of the article concerning RC's 137/
138, 139 and 140. The article states that these
RC's go from REP Council to the Administra-
tive Committee, from the Administrative Com-
mittee to the Board of Trustees, and from the
Trustees to the student body, "so that it is ac-
tually the student body who has the final say in
the matter of these RC's."

The above statement of precedure is quite in
error. RC's come from REP Council to the Ad-

ministrative Committee, which has final author-
ity. The only exception is in the case of a major
policy change which, if approved by Adminis-
trative Committee, then goes to the Board of
Trustees for final action. Since the RC's in
question did involve major policy changes, they
would have, if approved, gone to the board; the
board's action would then be the final author-
ity.

FACULTY-AT-HOMES

with activities where alcoholic beverages are con-
sumed.

What follows are the reasons which constituted
the basis for the action taken by the Administra-
tive Committee.

Students have the freedom to decide for them-
selves whether or not to consume alcoholic bever-
ages. This right is granted by state law to anyone
who is 18 years of age or older. This freedom is
specifically recognized by the college as reflected
in college regulations in the 1972-73 Student
Handbook on page 12. However, our college is a
private institution located on private property,
owned by no one individual. It does not exist sole-
ly for the alumnae, faculty, administration, stu-
dents, or the community. Rather, it exists for all
these groups. Each group holds a legitimate inter-
est in the institution. Responsibility for its future
rests with us all. Even though it is an institution
which offers opportunity for education and for
personal growth and social development, it is an
academic, not a social institution. It is our belief
that to allow consumption of alcoholic beverages
as proposed would not be in keeping with the aca-
demic character of the college. Further,- it would
not be consonant with the values which have ser-
ved to guide the college since its beginning.

Perhaps most important to the committee is the
firm belief that legality in and of itself neither
implies, dictates, nor defines circumstances in
which any legal activity may be suitable, appro-
priate or necessary. That is, the law allowing con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages by those 18 years
and older does not also compel any group to allow
such consumption at any or all functions asso-
ciated with that group. Families, libraries,

ALUMNAE QUARTERLY

1 am woman!'

churches, and, yes, even colleges, are free to
choose whether they will allow and /or endorse
consumption of alcoholic beverages within the
limits of their jurisdiction and sponsorship. The
members of the Administrative Committee over-
whelmingly agreed that for Agnes Scott - with its
history, with its concern for academic excellence,
with its commitment to liberal arts education, and
with its concern for each individual student - it is
neither suitable nor appropriate to incorporate
officially among its activities the consumption of
alcoholic beverages. One might use the analogy
that it is inappropriate to go into a tavern and
insist that everyone be quiet so that an individual
might read a book. This request would appear to
be legal; it does not seem appropriate.

Further, since consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages for those 18 years old and older is now legal,
with the result that such beverages may be easily
obtained within convenient distances from the
campus, and from many if not most off-campus
functions, any question of necessity to provide for
such consumption at the college or its functions
which may have existed, is removed.

These, then, are the reasons which led the com-
mittee to deny approval of RC's 137, 138, 139,
and 140.

This quarter REP Council will
be sponsoring ' ' Facu Ity-at-
Homes." Under this plan, mem-
bers of the faculty express an in-
terest in receiving students in
their homes one Sunday night
during the quarter.

REP has been concerned for
some time about the existing
breach between students and
their professors. Ideally, it is
hoped that these informal ses-
sions would allow for a freer in-
terchange between the two that
could facilitate the closing of
such a gap. Furthermore, this in-
teraction could conceivably

carry over into the classroom
and thus encourage the learning
process as a more corporate
effort.

With the small ratio of stu-
dents to faculty on the Agnes
Scott campus, a closer relation-
ship between the two groups is
quite possible. In fact this close-
ness is billed as one of the advan-
tages of attending Scott! Cer-
tainly the potential is there. The
faculty have responded enthusi-
astically. I hope the students will
seize this opportunity to get to
know the inhabitants of third
Buttrick.

Aids program to begin

by PATRICIA PEARSON

Agnes Scott is planning to
join up with the AIDS Program,
which was developed at Georgia
Tech for the Atlanta area col-
leges and junior colleges. Essen-
tially, this plan gives the Atlanta
area student, with the purchase
of this card, a discount of no less
than ten percent with partici-
pating merchants. Usually, a
newcomer into the program
would have to solicit a new busi-
ness, but in joining at this time,
Agnes Scott would not have to.
Perhaps later on this would be
requested.

"Women," believe it or not, is
the subject of the 1972 summer
Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly.
The magazine is "everything
from a collection of thoughts
and feelings to a personal inter-
view," and tells of some alum-
nae's feelings about "Women's
Lib and the contemporary femi-
nist movement or about their
own particular place as educated
women in the world."

One article, "Mrs." by Gene
Slack Morse '41, is a rebuttal to
another article, "Ms.: Fairy
Tale," which reveals frustrations
that women have "felt to be im-
posed by a society which ex-
pects its women to be married if
they arc to be 'normal' and
'happy'." At the end of her
article, Mrs. Morse raises the
question, "Why should women
who have created homes, borne
and molded children, loved,
served and strengthened hus-
bands, contributed to, indeed
led, civic, religious, and political
activities, feel guilt for doing
nothing?"

Mary Ann Lusk )orgenson
'63, in her article, "A View from
the Hinterlands," >ees "the ex-
perience at a woman's college as
unique in that young women can
try on many hats within an at-
mosphere that encourages self-
awareness." She thinks that
"those opportunities to have
honest intellectual searches with
other women were all the differ-

ence.'

In a feature article, "Women
Speaking Out," Carey Bowen
'62 interviews Ann Avant
Crichton '61 , who was elected to
the Decatur City Commission.
The interview shows Mrs.
Crichton's duties as a commis-
sioner and also her attitudes
about women "in public office
and women as intelligent impor-
tant human beings." She con-
cludes by saying, "If the Wo-
men's Liberationists are trying
to make all of us just alike, they
have missed the best part of
being a woman ... I am a
woman and I like it. So I am
going to be one, the best one I
can."

Mary Womack Cox '64, in her
article, "The Greening of a Mad
Housewife," tells of her experi-
ences as an amateur environ-
mentalist. She feels that "know
what we know, as educated
women, about the terrible needs
and problems of the world, we
will continue to feel frustrated
as long as we stand at the kit-
chen sink and do nothing about
what we know."

Concluding the series of ar-
ticles, Barbara Murlin Pendleton
'40, in "And a Final Note," feels
that "each woman can come to
terms with her own life if she
seeks a way." Each woman must
realize that she is "important, a
whole complete being, with love
and talent and ideas to contrib-
ute."

Oh, those molecules!

On Saturday, November 4,
while most seniors and their
parents are attending the In-
vestiture service, Marilyn )ohn-
son, a senior chemistry major,
will be giving a talk in Birming-
ham, Alabama. The 24th
Annual American Chemical So-
ciety Southeastern Regional
Meeting is being held from No-
vember 2-4 at the Birmingham-
)efferson Civic Center.

On the last day of the meet-
ing, talks dealing with under-
graduate research projects are
to be presented. Marilyn is one
of the five students from this
area scheduled to speak - the
others are from Georgia State
University.

Her talk has the rather im-
pressive title, 'The Use of the
Pinner Synthesis in the Pre-
paration of Half-Esters of an
Unsy mmetrical Dicarboxylic
Acid." It centers on the re-
search in organic chemistry
which she has carried out
during two quarters of Inde-

pendent Study under Marion
T. Clark, Professor of Chemis-
try.

She and Dr. Clark have
worked out the experimental
steps for the synthesis of a
series of six compounds. The
compounds are all new, i.e.,
there is no record of their
being produced before. Fur-
thermore, to the organic
chemist, the synthesis itself is
significant. An asymmetric
compound containing both an
acid and an ester group can be
made - the chemical literature
only reports methods for pro-
ducing symmetric compounds
containing both these groups.

So Marilyn will spend In-
vestiture in a bit of an unusual
way. Yet this talk concerns a
research project in which she
has had to apply the know-
ledge she accumulated in
school. Perhaps it is really an
appropriate manner in which
to spend Investiture weekend
after all.

A gentle friend spent a few days

by ANN FINCHER

Sir John Rothenstein, dis-
tinguished art critic and author,
was a visitor to the Agnes Scott
campus during the week of
October 16.

Sir John spent an active week
lecturing art history courses,
talking with current students
and faculty, and visiting with
former students. The highlight
of his visit was his talk in Gaines
Chapel during convocation
Wednesday, October 18. The
subject of Sir John s address was
his acquaintance with Sir Win-
ston Churchill. Sir John revealed
some lighter moments in the re-
lationship and emphasized the
Prime Minister's dedication to
art. "Without art I could not
live," Sir John quoted Mr.
Churchill as saying.

simmons Anderson, an alumna
of Scott. Work of students not
in BOZ may also be discussed.
Anyone that would like to parti-
cipate should send her work to
Box 190 before the first of No-
vember.

The club is not comprised of
a select group of professional au-
thors on campus. The members
are just students who appreciate
having a group of fellow stu-
dents and faculty with whom to
discuss their creative work. So if
you would enjoy that kind of in-
terchange, we'll see you on No-
vember 8.

Sir John has made Agnes
Scott a gift of the manuscript
from which he spoke. He sug-
gests that a more detailed ac-
count of his acquaintance with
Sir Winston Churchill may be
found in Time's Thievish Pro-
gress, the final volume of his
autobiography. The book is pub-
lished by Castle Publishing
Company of London. All three
volumes of Sir John s autobiog-
raphy along with many of his
other works are found in the
McCain Library.

Sir John was enthusiastic in
his response to Agnes Scott stu-
dents. He prefaced his talk on
Wednesday with the assurance
that he was "very devoted to
Agnes Scott and only at my own
home could I be fonder of more
people. " Sir John emphasized
the excellent interaction be-
tween student and professor at
Agnes Scott, and remarked that
he had rarely seen such an active
relationship.

When questioned on the con-
trast between the American uni-
versity system and the system
found in his native Great Britain,
Sir John said he thought the ed-
ucation standard is generally
higher in England. This higher
standard may be due to the
fewer colleges in England and
the resultant fierce competition.
As for American students, Sir
John said "the difference, of

The day of his arrival at the
University of Kentucky, where
he .served as Assistant Professor
of Art History, Sir John was in-
vited to dine with the President.

university. Sir John remained at

1927-1928.

The American Party offers a third candidate

PAGE 5

by JAN LEE

The educational process is
supposed to get us to ask ques-
tions, then by asking questions
to discover issues, and once is-
sues are recognized, to make a
decision. In last week's PRO-
FILE, under "Politics 72," it
was stated that "the Nixon Ad-
ministration over the last four
years has provided the largest
tax cut in American history."
The question I ask is why Presi-
dent Nixon, this year, is plan-
ning for a massive tax increase
via the "value added tax," which
amounts to a national sales tax?

Mr. Nixon campaigned as Mr.
Frugal in 1968 and said the bud-
get had to be sliced $10 billion.
Mr. Nixon argued that we should
be spending around $1 50 billion.
Nixon is now spending $230 bill-
ion. Mr. Nixon warned of finan-
cial disaster in '68. By 1971, we
have managed to accumulate a
deficit of $90 billion (more than
the combined deficit of the eight

years of the Kennedy-Johnson
budgets).

Under this same column, on
the McGovern side, it was stated
that McGovern's economic pro-
gram is "designed to alleviate the
tax burden put under the aver-
age working man by closing tax
loopholes open to the wealthy
'big business' interests."

If "Mr. George" really means
business, then why did he smash
a tax reform movement against
tax exemption at the 19,72 Dem-
ocratic Convention?

Another issue which seems to'
show inconsistency is their view
on national defense. In 1968,
candidate Nixon, in simple
recognition of the kind of world
we live in, promised that the
United States would maintain
military superiority as a policy
of national defense. In 1972,
President Nixon signed a disarm-
ament treaty with the U.S.S.R.
which gives the Russians massive

superiority over the U.S.'s strate-
gic defenses.

"Senator McGovern is pro-
posing a 40% cut in our defense
forces - cutting the Navy in
half, and the Air Force by more
than half - without any similar
disarmament agreement from
the Russians. It shocks me. No
responsible President would
think of cutting our defenses
back to the level of a second-
class power in the face of the ex-
panding Russian Navy and Air
Force ..." (Senator Hubert H.
Humphrey.)

"Mr. George is the big peace
candidate because of his current
Vietnam stand. Well, who is
there among us who doesn't
want peace? I'm not quite sure
of his definition of "peace," but
he has recently taken a new posi-
tion favoring all-out military
backing for Israel, and he openly
supports armed terror against
South Africa and Rhodesia.

(Aren't their lives just as impor-
tant as those of the people of
Vietnam?)

Whether a candidate will win
or not win is not the basis for
choosing whom to vote for. It's
just that if I ever have children

and they ask me if I voted for
Nixon or McGovern, I'll be able
to say no, I voted for Schmitz.
But regardless of our choice, we
all have the opportunity to ex-
press it within the system by
voting.

Politics

wj* tC* L*

by LUCY BROCKMAN

The campaigns are drawing to a close. The main issues and policies have been
discussed and rediscussed. With the election so near, the moment lends itself to a
glance back over the past few months and an examination of the campaigns them-
selves.

Each had its own particular tone, although not always very pleasant. As Mr. Nixon
asserted, 1972 offers a clear-cut choice, and his campaign policies reveal exactly
where this choice lies. The Administration and the Committee to Re-elect the Presi-
dent can list among their activities: corruption, secretive financing, conflict of in-
terests, and sabotage.

Nixon's campaign fund is well stocked by the big businesses whose interests he
serves. He has tried to keep these contributions secret, and, for good reason, as
shown by the cases that have been made public.

There is, of course, the I.T.T. pledge of support to the Republican National
Convention, and the ensuing favorable settlement given them by the Justice Depart-
ment in anti-trust cases. Thinking back over the past four years, this calls to mind a
definite lack of any anti-trust cases against large corporations.

There is also the Administration's sudden reversal in raising milk subsidies shortly
before receiving large campaign gifts from dairy producers. Perhaps most blatant of
all these activities is the White House's use of former Commerce Secretary Maurice
Stans as chief fund-raiser. He has been instrumental in obtaining contributions from
corporative executives whose profits were influenced by his departmental policies
and could be so again if he were returned to the Cabinet.

However, even walking hand in hand with big business, the Republican Adminis-
tration did not feel safe from the Democratic threat. It has sought for more than a
year to sabotage the Democratic nominees with forged letters, theft and intimida-
tion.

Nixon now expects the people to accept his denial of any knowledge about the
Watergate Affair when his own. appointments secretary, Dwight Chapin, was contact
man for the saboteurs. Chapin, under serious accusation and suspicion, has yet to be
even suspended from office.

One of the most shocking aspects of the whole affair is the public's reaction, or,
rather, lack of reaction, to it. The American people have come to accept such
corruption and insults as part of the campaign, although these activities are unprece-
dented in American politics. Is this all we can expeet from a man in our highest
office?

To this question, McGovern answers "no," and offers a solution in the openness
of his campaign. He has made public the gifts and loans he has received - the bulk of
which comes from small contributions. His campaign is public-directed, as are his
policies.

The main criticism made of McGovern is that he is unpredictable. However, a
study of previous candidates reveals he has changed his position on fewer fundamen-
tal issues than any.

Mr. Nixon's political career speaks for itself on this subject. He has shifted from
hawk to dove so many times that it is no longer certain what kind of bird he is. His
administrative and campaign policies are a slap in the face to the American demo-
cratic system and the American people. While piously pledging to "halt the erosion
of the moral fiber in American life," he himself is setting the example for its decay.

With the election just five days away, the polls show President Nixon carrying the
state of Georgia by 74%. This percentage is not restricted to Georgia; the latest
Virginia polls indicate Nixon has 62% to 65% of the vote. 1 972 is definitely the year
for Republicanism not only in the South, but also throughout the country. The New
York Times has predicted that Nixon will carry all but five states. What has caused
this unprecedented landslide?

To understand what has happened in this election we can turn to the South, for it
is in this region that the Republican Party has made its most significant gains.
Traditionally, the South has been the Democratic stronghold. Georgia, for example,
has gone Republican only once since Reconstruction. This year, however, the South-
ern Democrats are splitting their tickets and supporting Nixon. The marginal lead
which Nixon enjoys is due to the Democratic Nixon supporters. Evidence of this is
clearly illustrated in Virginia politics; the former Democratic Governor Mills E.
Godwin is chairman of the Virginia Democrats for Nixon, composed of 1 ,500 promi-
nent men.

There are six major reasons for this ticket-splitting. All are related to what oc-
curred at the Democratic Convention in mid- July.

First, the delegates which nominated McGovern were people outside the tradition-
al Democratic apparatus. Newcomers to the political spectrum, the delegates repre-
sented an inexperienced, naive, and idealistic segment of our society. Since they were
not representative of the traditional rank and file Democratic Party member, these
people did not adhere to convention procedures of the past. They embarrassed and
alienated party regulars such as Mayor Daley of Chicago and important labor leaders.
McGovern has discovered that a national campaign must have two essential things
from a party in order to run a successful race. First, monetary support; second,
hard-working local volunteers. In Miami, McGovern turned his back on the tradition-
al Democratic leadership in local, state and national areas; now this same leadership
has turned its back on him.

Second, the California delegate fight between McGovern and Humphrey did much
to damage the image of McGovern. Until the debate over California delegates, Mc-
Govern had advocated the quota system. In the California debate on the convention
floor, he and his followers spoke in favor of the winner-take-all system which disen-
franchised almost half of the California primary voters.

Third, the McGovern campaign staff failed to utilize the media. McGovern's ac-
ceptance speech was made in the early morning hours. This would have been a good
opportunity to have made a favorable impression on the American electorate.

Fourth, the Eagleton Affair which arose out of the convention demonstrated two
major weaknesses in the candidate. First, it exemplified his inability to surround
himself with people capable of thorough research. If McGovern was not properly
informed about his own running mate, then how can the American public expect him
to be properly briefed on issues of a wider scope of complexity and importance?
Also, this was the first indication of his indecisiveness. One day McGovern is 100%
behind Eagleton, the next day McGovern dumps him. The lack of confidence with
which his own party members regarded him was exemplified in his inability to find a
new running mate.

Fifth, McGovern's credibility has been challenged each time he has changed his

A Political Analysis: How does Scott compare ?

by POLITICAL SCIENCE
326 CLASS

On Tuesday, October 10, Mr.
Moomaw's Political Science 326
class took a poll to discover
what factors influence the voting
behavior of the Agnes Scott
community. Approximately 68%
of the student body partici-
pated, while over 80 : > of the
faculty responded to the ques-
tionnaire.

The poll revealed overwhelm-
ing support tor the President,
with 77% of the student body
endorsing the present adminis-
tration and only 20% favoring
McGovcrn. The faculty, on the
other hand, went 56% to 40%
for McGovcrn.

The highest percentages for
Nixon were in the freshman and
sophomore classes, where Nixon
polled 82% and 84% respective-
ly. In these classes the poll re-
vealed a close correlation be-
tween student-parent voting.
Freshman and sophomore par-
ents supported Nixon with 84%
and 85% respectively, which is
very close to the underclass-
men's projections.

I his trend, however, did not
hold true in the upper classes.
Scott juniors gave only 66% of
their support to Nixon, while
their parents endorsed the ad-
ministration with 86% of their
voles.

From this poll it appears that
the under classes arc influenced
more by the political socializa-
tion at home. Parents' political
views and party affiliation have
been a major influence in their
voting behavior. The upperclass-
mcn's voting bahavior, in turn,
has been influenced by their in-
volvement in activities and insti-

tutions outside the home. Hav-
ing been exposed to pressures
and situations removed from
their families, the upperclassmen
show a stronger independence in
voting.

Agnes Scott is composed of
87.5% Southern girls and 9%
non-Southern. The class discov-
ered that this also had a bearing
on voting behavior. Of the
87.5% Southern students, 75%
were for Nixon, while only 18%
were tor McGovern. Among the
9% non-Southern Scot ties,
McGovern's support almost dou-
bled, with 34%> preferring
McGovern to Nixon. The non-
South vote still endorsed Nixon
with 63%>, but there was a per-
centage point difference of 1 2 in
Nixon's support in the South
and non-South.

Whether a Scottie is from an
urban center, suburbia, or the
rural areas, also seems to be an
influential factor. One out of
every three students from urban
or suburban areas voted Mc-
Govern, while only one out of
five students from rural areas
made the same choice.

What this poll clearly indi-
cates is that Agnes Scott is a
politically homogeneous body
where only the degree of sup-
port for the President has been
affected by the influential fac-
tors mentioned above.

The poll of the faculty indi-
cates, however, that the Scott
faculty has political attitudes
quite different from those of the
students. The faculty as a whole
prefers McGovern by approxi-
mately 56% to 40%. The greatest
McGovern support in the faculty
was found among the younger
mcmbers of the faculty, the

The male members of the facul-

evenly between McGovern and
Nixon. Faculty under 30 prefer
McGovern by 7 to 1 . Those be-
tween the ages of 30 and 49 pre-

On the other hand, faculty
members over 50 prefer Presi-

somewhat over 2 to 1 , and it ap-
pears that the longer a faculty
member has been at Agnes
Scott, the more likely he or she
is to prefer the re-election of the
President. While those who have
been here from 5 to 1 0 years

split evenly between McGovern
and Nixon, faculty with more

President Nixon by approxi-

On October 18, Emory Uni-
versity conducted a telephone
sample survey in which 100
undergraduates were polled. The
survey indicated that 43% of the
Emory student body intended to
vote Nixon and 36% intended to
support McGovern. While Emory
students did favor Nixon by 7
percentage points over McGov-
ern, the margin of support was
much smaller than at Agnes
Scott, where there was a margin
of 57%.

The university faculty sup-
ported McGovern with a 46%
vote; Nixon received 40% of the
vote. When compared with the
Agnes Scott faculty, the Emory

faculty appears to be voting
more conservatively. Nixon re-
ceived 40% support of the facul-
ties at both schools. McGovern,
h o w e v e r , did 1 0 percentage
points better with the Scott
faculty than with the Emory
faculty* The undecided vote at
Agnes Scott among faculty
members was only 4%, while it
was much higher at Emory, with
14%.

A Gallup poll was conducted
on college students nationwide.
Gallup said I, J 16 students, out
of an estimated total United
States population ot six million
full-time students were inter-
viewed from September 23 to
October 8. This was at approxi-
mately the same time that the
survey took place at Scott.

By college classes, the poll
showed freshmen and sopho-
mores favored Nixon, while
juniors and seniors were for
McGovern. Although the Politi-
cal Science 326 class's survey of
Scott did not reveal such sup-
port among Scott juniors and
seniors, it did reveal a heavier
support for Nixon in the two
lower classes.

Broken down to the type of
college, 49% of those at public
colleges favored McGovern to
46% for Nixon; 54% at private
colleges were for McGovcrn,
compared to 42% for Nixon; and
at religious affiliated colleges,
74% favored Nixon to 26% for
McGovern.

If one assumes that Agnes
Scott fits into the religious affili-
ated school category, then Scott,
with 77% for Nixon, is very
close to the national average ol
74% among religious al filiated
college student bodies.

Students attend faith workshop

by JAN LEE

Why do so many teenagers
lose their faith during college
years? How can lasting results be
achieved in youth work? These
questions were of utmost impor-
tance to Bill Gothard after evalu-
ating his first ten years of youth
work. During the next five years,
certain insights were gained by
this dedicated Christian which
brought significan.
among youth, rega.
whether they came from a so
phisticated suburban church, or
an inner-city gang.

Those who had received this
training became so enthusiastic
about its practical effectiveness
for both youth and adults that
they began urging their friends
to attend, and today even
psychiatrists are attending, rea-
lizing that these principles ap-
plied, offering hope instead of
,l cope."

The seminar is a thirty-two
hour exposure to seeing life
from a new perspective. It is
based on seven universal, non-
optional principles of life. It
illustrates exactly how the con-
flicts we face in our lives can be
traced back to violations of
these principles; then it gives
practical st<

the conflicts.

About nine people left the
Scott campus every night to at-
tend this Institute of Basic
Youth Conflicts recently. They
found out about and are still
learning to apply the principles
expressed during the six-day
seminar. One student's mother
came down from Tennessee to

attend with her daughter, and a
niece of Miss Winter's flew in
from Savannah to attend. Over
three thousand parents, grand-
parents, and students attending
at the Atlanta Civic Center seem
to exhibit a sincere desire to put
these principles to work in their
own lives.

position on the issues. In doing
so, he has tried to move closer to
the center ol the political graph
where the majority of the voters
can be found. All he has done,
however, is alienate the idealistic
followers of the far left who
believed him to be above politi-
cal maneuvering.

Sixth, the McGovcrn
campaign staff has suffered in-
ternal disorders. McGovern has
not been able to curb the rivalry
between his two top men, Frank

What we will see on Novem-
ber 7 is a vote of confidence in
the traditional two-party Ameri-
can system. This should be a
lesson to the liberal, reformist
segment of the Democr.it ic
Party. The traditional two-party
system has worked well since the
Civil War. An attempt to reform
can only mean political suicide. I
predict that five days from now
we shall see the largest popular
and electoral vote ever given to
an American President.

he has participated in several
plays - The Crucible, The Prime
of Miss Jean Brodie, The Glass
Menagerie and several one -acts.
He is an Honorary Blackfriar at
Agnes Scott.

A graduate of LaGrange Col-
lege, Terry Kay has taught in
various theater workshops in At-
lanta and has directed at the
Wits End Cabaret Theater and
the Community Theater. In
1967, he was one of eight drama

Trustees & students become acquainted

The trustees of Agnes Scott
had an opportunity to acquaint
themselves with students and
student opinion when the Board
met here October 27. Students
also were able to meet some of
the individuals who make crucial
decisions concerning Scott.

After the trustees lunched
with students and held an execu-
tive session of the Board, Tinsley
Swann, Marcia Knight, Faye
Allen, Jane Parsons, Cynthia
Wilkes and Melissa Holt spoke
with the Board about different
facets of campus life.

The student portion of the
meeting was begun with a short
film of Black Cat. The concise
presentations of the students
were neither glowing nor harsh.
Each spoke of the goals, re-
wards, and disappointments of
the many activities and projects
at Scott.

Cynthia Wilkes emphasized
the spirit of the campus in wel-
coming incoming freshmen and
transfer students not only during
fall quarter but through the
year. Melissa Holt spoke of the
many activities both at Scott
and in the Atlanta area. Com-
munication and arranging stu-
dent transportation were the
problems she mentioned.

Faye Allen pointed out that
the sign-out procedure was
undergoing revision although the
student response to the new
freedom brought to the campus
in 1970 was overwhelmingly
favorable. Jane Parsons affirmed
the continuing importance of
Christian Association on the
campus despite its "identity
crisis" of the past several years.
She expressed her concern that
Scott's new president support
the college's Christian emphasis.

Marcia Knight explained the
problem of making Honor Court
seem non-judgmental while still
meriting the respect of the stu-
dent body. She spoke encour-
agingly of the recent revision in
case procedure.

Tinsley Swann completed the
student presentations by praising
student "loyalty and interest in
the strength of the college." She

stated that a "top priority with
the student body is a new stu-
dent center." She also men-
tioned that the Administrative
Committee had rejected all four
resolutions to amend the drink-
ing policy, emphasizing that stu-
dents had chosen to work
through the legislative process.

The trustees responded favor-
ably both to the lunch with stu-

dents and the student presenta-
tions. Mr. Hal Smith, Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, called
the reports "both interesting and
informative" and thanked the
students for the time they had
taken to talk with the Board
members.

Following the Board meeting,
the faculty and trustees enjoyed
a coffee hour.

RC handles closing hours

On November 7, RC 141, a
resolution regarding dorm clos-
ing hours on weekends, was pre-
sented to REP Council. After
being posted for one week, the
RC was called to a vote at the
next meeting and passed.

The RC allows dorms not
housing fall and winter quarter
freshmen (i.e., Main and Hop-
kins, and all dorms during the
spring quarter) to vote to change
their Dormitory Closing Hours
from 2:00 a.m. to 12:00 mid- '
night on Friday and Saturday
nights. A consensus of two

thirds of the students in the indi-
vidual dorm would be necessary
to change the hours.

The purpose of the RC is to
relieve some of the late hostess
duty. Since all students affected
can sign out and obtain keys to
get back in the dorm after clos-
ing hours, the midnight closing
of the lobby should not create
any real inconvenience.

In order to provide that too
much switching back and forth
does not occur, once the closing
hour policy has been established,
it must be maintained at least

throughout the rest of that quar-
ter and throughout the academic
year unless a further vote is re-
quested by the residents. The
changed closing hours would not
of course hold over from one
year to the next for a given
dorm.

A dorm choosing not to
change its hours would keep the
regular closing time.

One possible inconvenience is
that should Main choose to have
the early closing hours, the date
parlors in that dorm would have
to be vacated at midnight.

Students attend judicial conference

From November 19-21, the
University of Georgia Center for
Continuing Education is holding
a workshop in Athens entitled
Substantial justice on Campus:
Individual Rights vs. Institution-
al Needs. Agnes Scott will have
two representatives to this con-
ference - Marcia Knight, Chair-
man of Honor Court, and Janifer
Meldrum, a senior member of
Honor Court.

Marcia indicated that she
wants especially to find out
what other schools feel about

the drug problem, and how they
handle it. How do other schools
define "due process," what do
they mean by "fair trial"? Even
though the meeting is geared
somewhat towards a large uni-
versity, Marcia said that she felt
that she and Janifer could gain a
lot just by meeting the other
people and talking with them
about their judicial systems.

On the Monday morning of
the workshop, four different
judicial systems are to be pre-

sented and then in groups are to
be discussed. Louisiana State
University has a system com-
posed of faculty and students.
Michigan State University repre-
sents a system in which ad-
ministrators, faculty, and stu-
dents participate. The University
of Wisconsin at Madison has an
entirely administrative system,
and an all-student judicial sys-
tem is found at the University of
Georgia. The last is the closest to
the Scott system.

Postpone
the chimes

// seems to me somewhat of a paradox that a school like Agnes
Scott should have such limited library hours. Academics are highly
valued and greatly emphasized. On five nights of the week the
library closes at 10:30 p.m., on Friday at 8:30 p.m., and on Satur-
day at 6:00 p.m.

Is it really too much to ask that the library be kept open until
II :30 or midnight every night? Other schools comparable to Scott
manage to do it. (My sister, who attends a small woman 's college in
Virginia, literally hooted when she found out when our library
closed her 's closes at midnight.)

I appreciate the fact that in a city such as Atlanta, the librarians
can riot be driving home alone late at night. Still, it seems that a
system could be worked out so that students with work scholarships
could be used to maintain the library and close it at a later hour.

Some people find that they can study in the library better than
anywhere else. Others won't go near the place until they have a
special paper or project and then they practically live in the library.
The number of students using the library at 1 1 :30 p.m. at night may
not be great, hut I think people would find it a great luxury to have
later closing hours for the library. And, given the emphases of this
school, this is one luxury to which the students are really entitled.

Opening the Pub door

PROFILE meetings are held on Thursday nights at 6:30 in the
Pub. Since the paper comes out every other week, on alternate
Thursdays the staff gathers and articles go up for grabs.

But on those other Thursday nights when articles are not as-
signed, the staff doesn't quite know what to do with itself. There-
fore, due to a suggestion by Candy Colando, every other Thursday
the PROFILE staff will host an open meeting.

The purpose of these meetings is to give students (and faculty and
administration if they want to come) the opportunity to come by
and talk with us - tell us what they think of the paper, what
improvements they would like to see made, what areas of campus
- life we need to cover more fully.

But, hopefully, the discussions will not just deal with the paper
but with the school in general, for that is in fact the paper 's concern.
We want to know what the campus community is thinking about.

So come /oin us. Since I don 7 really think many people would
come back on thanksgiving Day to attend, the first open meeting
will be held November 30. (Then we will pick them up again
next quarter.) Remember - 6:30 - the Pub. See you there.

Martin Luther King
Scholarship Fund

PROFILE / November 16, 1972

by LUCY BROCKMAN

The Martin Luther King
Scholarship Fund

In 1968, after the tragic death of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., there was a feeling among many
students, faculty, and alumnae that something
should be done to memorialize that great man.
Out of this general feeling came an idea from
Christian Association to establish a scholarship
fund in memory of Dr. King that would assist
black students attending Agnes Scott. The fund
became a reality at that time, in hopes of increas-
ing the black enrollment and thus furthering the

racial encounter at Scott.

The fund is added to every year, the present
total being $4,502.82. This sum includes the most
recent addition made by the Faculty Wives' Fair
held in September. Their hard work and enthusi-
asm raised $ 1 ,535.24 to augment the fund, as well
as heightening student interest and involvement in
the idea.

The money in the fund itself is never spent. It
is, rather, invested, and the income or interest
from the sum is used for the student scholarship
program. Thus, the fund is never depleted, and, as
it grows, the scope of the whole program expands.

To the Editor:

There was not time at the
convocation on October 1 1 to
go into the provisions of the
laws prohibiting discrimination
in employment on the basis of
sex, race, creed, color, religion,
and national origin, or the re-
cently issued EEOC Guidelines
on Discrimination Because of
Sex.

As I pointed out, the laws are
very broad and cover just about
all kinds of employment, private
and public, and the Guidelines
provide that no longer may em-
ployers refuse to hire, promote,
etc. a woman because she is
pregnant, because she might get
married, might become preg-
nant, etc. Many situations which
we have grown to accept as a

normal way of doing business no
longer are permissible. It is im-
portant for students in deciding
on careers and in applying for
jobs to know what their rights
are.

Enclosed is a copy of the
Guidelines on Discrimination Be-
cause of Sex, and I shall send
this and some other materials to
the Library so that individuals
may consult them. Of course it
is easier to make use of them if
you are familiar with the law
and the rules and regulations. As
I said to the convocation group,
I will be very happy to hear
from any group or individual
about matters relating to women
and employment. My office is
526-6981 . If a group of students

and/or faculty would be interest-
ed in a more detailed discussion
of these matters, I would be de-
lighted to come to the campus
for such a discussion.

It is always nice to visit the
campus and again I want to ex-
press my appreciation to the
Convocation Committee for the
invitation to be with you all.

Sincerely,

To the Editor:

Thank you for publishing the
very interesting article, "A polit-
ical analysis: how does Scott
compare." It was very interest-
ing for several reasons: one of
them the usual manipulation and
interpretation of figures all kinds
of politicians are so fond of.

Although some connotations
seem to have accompanied the
words "Southern" and "rural"
in the author's mind, the follow-
ing passage seems to be particu-
larly pointed: "From this poll it
appears that the under classes
are influenced more by the polit-

ical socialization at home.
Parents' political views and party
affiliation have been a major in-
fluence in their voting behavior.
The upperclassmen's voting be-
havior, in turn, has been influ-
enced by their involvement in
activities and institutions outside
the home. Having been exposed
to pressures and situations re-
moved from their families, the
upperclassmen show a stronger
independence in voting."

May I suggest that:

(1) Even in academic fields,
most teachers have noticed a

strong difference between
classes, the present freshman and
sophomore classes appearing
more interested in academic pur-
suits than their elders were two
years ago. This, I think, is a na-
tional trend towards less dema-
goguery and more work.

(2) There is no superiority in
being influenced by the faculty
of one's college rather than by
one's parents.

Sincerely,

To the Editor:

A note about Drs. So-and-So.
In third-rate colleges, everyone,
including the delivery boy, is
called "doctor." In second-rate
schools, women are referred to
as "doctor," men addressed as
"doc." "Doctor," in first-rate
schools, is usually reserved for
the president and for those few
revered teachers who, because of
long tenure and important
scholarship, have deserved the
medieval-Renaissance meaning
of the word. We could suggest
three or four members of the
Agnes Scott faculty who merit
this honor, but they are the ones
who, out of genuine modesty,
would blush at our proposal.

That "Big-Daddy chauvin-
ism" has been responsible for
the confusion between Mr.-
Doctor - Miss-Mrs. at Scott is,
we believe, obvious, and we ap-
plaud Professor Meroney and
Editor Offen for noting this
sexual paradox. But we argue
that the word professor retains
enough dignity for most of us.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: A further
note abot(t Drs. So-and-So.
Reading your letter and talking
with several students has caused
me to modify my view. Perhaps
it isn't very good to work the
title of Doctor to death. But
purposefully avoiding the use of
the title altogether seems a bit
strained as well. Perhaps each
professor should specify what he
or she wants to be called that
would settle it . . . maybe? - P.

Chang's address:

"Investiture-Our Agnes Scott Rite of Passage"

(On Saturday, November 4, the annua/ Investiture
Service was held in Gaines. Kwai Sing Chang, Professor
of Bible and Religion, gave the address. With his per-
mission, it is reprinted below.)

These are the rites of passage,
transitional events that are more than
ordinary points of time

in one's existence
because they symbolize
a change of being.

Almost everywhere, from Agnes Scott College to
Polynesia to India, the peak experiences of an indivi-
dual's life are the ones that mark a passing from one
stage to another, e.g., birth, growth, maturity, marriage,
and death. These are the rites of passage, transitional
events that are more than ordinary points of time in
one's existence because they symbolize a change of
being. These occasions are communal events, to be cele-
brated and ritualized, rather than merely undergone pri-
vately. And each one is a sanctified moment, not just
another tick of the clock. We may feel like cogs in a
desacralized culture, but most of us can still experience a
sense of wonder, of awe, possibly even of the numinous
when we look at the face of a baby being baptized, the
faces of two friends exchanging wedding vows, or the
face of a loved one in a casket.

In traditional India there were 40 rites of passage
called samskaras. There was a samskara to insure concep-
tion, another to nourish the child in the womb, another
to mark the birth of a child, still others for the naming
of the child, the first feeding of solid food, the first
haircut, and through all the other stages of that person's
life cycle. In this series one of the most significant was
the thread investiture or upanayana , a rite that goes back
to 1,000 B. C, observed by both boys and girls.
Upanayana, which is now confined to boys of the high-
est three castes, celebrates the beginning of a boy's edu-
cation, his induction into his community, his initiation
into the responsibility of preparing himself for maturity.

The ritual begins with the boy's natural father hand-
ing him over to the care of his new spiritual father, his
guru. Then father, son, and guru ritually retire into a
tent; there the boy receives a second name; there he is
taught to recite their most sacred mantra, the Hindu
equivalent of the Lord's Prayer: "Let us think on the
lovely splendor of the god Savitri, that he may inspire
our minds." The rite reaches its climax with the invest-
ing of the boy with the sacred thread, the upavita, which
he will wear the rest of his life, over the left shoulder,
under his right arm. He is now twice-born, and begins his
training to live like one. He undergoes a series of ordeals,
lasting from a symbolic three minutes to a traditional
twelve years, not only to test him, but to annihilate
bondage to the old self that a new life may come into
being. This is the mythological function of all initiation
rites.

It marks not only the passage of time,
in terms of an accumulation
of credit hours and grade points,
but a new beginning,
observed in symbolic action.

Investiture, in many ways, is the Agnes Scott
upanayana. It marks not only the passing of time, in
terms of an accumulation of credit hours and grade
points, but a new beginning, observed in symbolic
action. We celebrate the same sense of expectation, and
we have our own series of ordeals. For this occasion I
would like to give you ten "Mantras," not to recite, but
to reflect on, since we're more comfortable with con-
ceptual rather than ritual forms. Sequestered in your
academic tent, meditate for some working answers to
these "mantras" in the form of ten questions. This is
what your phase of life here, as exegeted from the Agnes
Scott seal, is all about; this is what we're symbolizing
here.

This is what your phase of life here,
as exegeted from the Agnes Scott seal,
is all about;
this is what we're
symbolizing here.

1. Is the universe to be regarded as IT only or a
THOU as well? What implications does each answer have
for my behavior, my relations with others, my sense of
worth?

2. How is it that the major crises of life that over-
whelm me don't look so major to other people? How
can something completely rational to me seem otherwise
to others? How should I deal with those people?

3. What is the meaning of the injunction I hear so
often from friends, family and teachers: "Be realistic!"?
What is the "real thing"? How do I know it, how do I
measure it, especially if "they" won't reveal the
formula?

4. Am I responsible to anything or anyone beyond
myself, my family, my society, my nation?

5. Which is more dangerous, more damaging, more
damnable: pride of knowledge or pride of ignorance?

6. How broad a range of human experience should I
consider seriously; only the quantifiable, verifiable as-
pects of consciousness, or the spontaneous, visionary
aspects of the unconscious as well?

7. What is the basis of my hope for the future? What
do I do if this basis appears vaporous or futile?

8. What do I want to be my chief happiness? Why
that and not something else?

9. How seduced am I by the labels I use? What does
the label "I," or the label "woman," stand for? Is the
conflict between science and religion, knowledge and
faith in the West a difference projected from its labels?

10. Sartre says: "All existing things are born for no
reason, continue through weakness and die by acci-
dent. ... It is meaningless that we are born, it is mean-
ingless that we die." If I disagree with this statement -
why? If I agree, what do I do next?

Here are your ten "mantras." Since I'm using a Hindu
model in this talk, I close with the injunction that the
hero in the Bhagavad Gita receives at the end of the
book: "Ponder them in the silence of thy soul, and then
in freedom do thy will."

Mrs. Alston comments on their life after retirement

by JOYCE McKEE

Dr. Alston's plans mean not
only retirement for him but also
a "retirement" for Mrs. Alston.
Like him, she feels it is time
they leave Agnes Scott though
they do so regretfully. She says
with great spirit, "Twenty-five
years in one place is enough for
anybody," and emphasizes the
many plans she and Dr. Alston
have made.

Their home will no longer be
at 213 South Candler Street. In-
stead they will live at Norris
Lake. Ten years ago, the Alstons
purchased a cabin there. They
have acquired adjoining property
and arc now adding almost
another house to the cabin.
They plan to use the original
structure for guests. The house is
located on top of a beautifully

wooded hill.

When the Alstons were
searching for a name for their
home, they chose "Wood Hill."
That name is especially appropri-
ate since it was the name of the
original Alston home in Bedford
County, England. Dr. Alston dis-
covered it while leafing through
a family history. Mrs. Alston is
concerned that their new home
will be unable to accommodate
all of Dr. Alston's books and
leave any space for hanging pic-
tures and paintings.

Nature study has always been
especially enjoyable to the
Alstons. The two have become
amateur ornithologists. At Wood
Hill, they will be able to indulge
in one of their favorite hobbies.

Mrs. Alston affirms Dr.
Alston's great love for Agnes

Scott. She explains that he was
born in the Johnson house
across from the campus and
often played in the vacant lot
where the president's home now
stands. Dr. Alston had been a
minister for a church but came
to Agnes Scott to teach. Mrs.
Alston comments, "He would
not have done that for any col-
lege other than Agnes Scott."

"Dr. Alston has a pastor's
heart," she further remarks. "He
never leaves problems at the
office but brings his concerns
home. Sometimes he can't sleep
for worrying about a particular
student or some situation." Al-
though both will miss the college
community, it is difficult for
neither to leave the "pressures
and deadlines." Mrs. Alston re-
iterates their desire to adopt a

policy of non-interference leav-
ing Scott completely to Dr.
Alston's successor.

Mrs. Alston attended Scott
for one year before transferring
to the Atlanta Conservatory. She
was graduated with a degree in
music; her special interest is the
piano. Although she has long
since ceased her formal study,
Mrs. Alston continues to play.

The Alstons met at a house
dance here on campus while
they were both students. The
pair was engaged for six years
while Dr. Alston studied, and
the future Mrs. Alston worked.
She says, "Girls then didn't
marry until their fiance had
finished school and could sup-
port them." She emphasizes that
she is not at all critical of
modern trends for couples to

marry while one or both is still
in school, stating, "That just re-
flects changing times."

Like all grandparents, the
Alstons are extremely proud of
their grandchildren. Their son,
Wallace, Jr., is a minister at the
First Presbyterian Church in
Durham, North Carolina. His
children are: Charlotte, who is 8
years old; Wallace, III, 7 years
old; and Madelaine, VA. Made-
lame is named for Mrs. Alston,
but is called Laine. The Alstons
have a daughter, Mary, who lives
in Atlanta and has a 2/2-year old
named Mary Elizabeth.

Mrs. Alston states that both
she and Dr. Alston are looking
forward with great anticipation
to traveling, reading, and spend-
ing time with their grand-
children.

BLACKFR I AR'S PLAY - NOVEMBER 16, 17, 18

by JANICE BURR

The first production of the Agnes Scott Blackfriars' 1972-73
season is one full of entertainment and enjoyment. Thornton
Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning play, The Skin of Our Teeth, shows
the Antrobus family and their maid Sabina as they encounter the Ice
Age, Atlantic City in the rain, and a war - all portrayed with an
abundance of confusion, comedy, and pathos.

But besides all the fun and energy expended on stage during the
show, an unbelievable amount of time and effort go into the pre-
paration for the play. In the weeks before the production, many
hours are spent in rehearsals; the sets are designed and built, while
props are collected. The lighting has to be set and then the lights are
hung, focused, gelled ready for rehearsal.

Likewise, make-up must be planned to suit each actor and his
character. Costumes are made. Finally Publicity, Programs, and
Box Office people have to make connections with the outside
world to insure attendance and make the audience happy.

New to the Dana Theatre is the trap door, located down center
on the stage. Three of the many functions of the trap will be shown
during The Skin of Our Teeth.

Also of interest in the staging is the fact that the walls of the
house must collapse and later right themselves. In order to see how
this is accomplished in such an intimate theatre as Dana's, you'll just
have to be in the audience.

INTRODUCING

Mrs. Temples and Mrs. Norton

by ERIN SHERMAN

You pass them every day.
Seated very quietly behind the
cashier's stand In the Letitia Pate
Evans Dining Hall, they have ob-
served our hungry faces for four
years. Mrs. )ohn Temples and
Mrs. Merle Norton joined the
cafeteria staff in 1969 and were
just as much "freshmen" to the
Scott campus as the Daisy Mae
class of 73 was at that time.

Both ladies are native Geor-
gians. Mrs. Temples grew up in
Rome and attended Shorter Col- .
lege. Atlanta has always been the"
home of Mrs. Norton. She can
not see living anywhere else, es-
pecially in the spring. Both Mrs.
Temples and Mrs. Norton live in
Decatur, about five or ten
minutes away from the campus.
This proximity helps explain

how each eventually applied to
work on the Scott campus, for it
was through talking to friends or
members of the campus com-
munity that they learned of the
job openings.

When you do not see Mrs.
Norton working in the cafeteria,
you might see her rolling a strike !
at a local bowling alley or
making a vase in a ceramics class.
Mrs. Temples spends her free
time gardening and developing
her talents in various handcrafts:
crochet, rughooking, needle-
point, and embroidery.

Children and grandchildren
also fill up the spare time. Both
women have one son and one
daughter. Mrs. Temples is also
the proud grandmother to her
son's and daughter's five chil-
dren.

While family excursions may
take Mrs. Norton to Stone
Mountain or Six Flags, Mrs.
Temples has had to go all the
way to Hawaii to make it a
"family affair" with her daugh-
ter's children. Visiting her son's
family is somewhat easier since
he lives in the Atlanta area.

There's no telling where their
travels will take them next. Mrs.
Temples even toured Las Vegas
and Rhode Island last summer.
Myrtle Beach is a favorite site to
Mrs. Norton. Wherever their
world travels take them, we
hope they will always return to
Agnes, because they have be-
come very much a part of us
over the four years they have
worked here. Letitia Pate
wouldn't be the same without
them!

Blind dates: revenge has a sense of humor

by KAREN HALE

Every year the newly admit-
ted freshmen arrive here at
Agnes Scott and meet that for-
midable opponent, THE BLIND
DATE. Almost every freshman
encounters all the various types
of possible blind dates: the
Drunkard, the Octopus, the
Reckless Driver, the Freak, the
Slob, and the Bore. And every
freshman has her horror story to
tell afterwards.

There was a freshman whose
date was so drunk that he trip-
ped and fell while dancing and
another poor girl had a date who
was so anxious to kiss her that
he bit her lip. But the best story
that I have thus far encountered
(but, remember, it's only fall
quarter) is the one about the
Sophomore Who Wanted Re-
venge.

This incident occurred one

Saturday night and involved a
sophomore who had had many a
blind date last year, and who did
not have one on that particular
night. She acquired the permis-
sion of one freshman who had a
blind date and proceeded to
array herself in a sickening,
baby-yellow 1949 satin dress re-
cently purchased from one of
the thrift shops in Decatur, a
pair of yellow spike-toed, spike-
heeled pumps (a la 1950's) and a
flat, purple flowered hat you
know, the kind Grandma used a
hat-pin with.

Anyway, this sophomore,
thus arrayed, trotted on down to
the lobby to wait for "her date"
who actually belonged to the
freshman, Esmerelda. She
crossed her legs, letting one shoe
dangle off her toe, and folded
her white gloved hands neatly in
her lap. As various dates came

in, "Esmerelda" would call "Hi,
hi!" to each and wave. The girl
on hostess duty would describe
the situation to them, and they
all sat, as did "Esmerelda,"
awaiting the final moments.

Finally, "Esmerelda's" date,
Hiram, arrived. He went to the
hostess desk and asked for his
date. The girl on duty pointed at
"Esmerelda" and said, "Why,
that's her, right out there."
Hiram looked over "Esmerel-
da's" head and asked, "Where?"
When told that "Esmerelda" was
sitting right there, his eyes
bugged. He just couldn't believe
that this monstrosity was his. He
swallowed visibly, and slowly
walked out to sit next to her.
"Hi, I'm Hiram," he gulped.
"Hi! Hiram, I'm Esmerelda! " she
intoned energetically as she
thrust forth her hand. He shook
it gingerly, then carefully sat

down.

"Well, how did your day
go?!" enthused "Esmerelda."

"Not too well," he answered,
and proceeded to tell her how
his car had gotton towed away
after he had parked illegally, and
a couple of other woes. Obvious-
ly, this "date" was the crowning
event of a wonderful day.

"Well, uh, where are you
from, Esmerelda?"

Not wanting him to think
that everyone from Kentucky
was like what she looked like,
"Esmerelda" bubbled, "Why,
Utah - Salt Lake City!" And all
poor Hiram could do during the
entire conversation was pick at
the heel of his shoe. Finally, the
real Esmerelda came down and
the sophomore suggested, "Well,
Hiram, isn't it about time to

go.'

"Yeah," he sighed. They got

up, and just as he reached the
lobby door, the sophomore put
a gloved hand on Hiram's arm
and said: "Look, I'm not
Esmerelda. Get real. Esmerelda
is there." And the red just
creeped up his neck to engulf his
face. Later, the sophomore was
told by Esmerelda that when
Hiram came in the lobby and
saw her, he thought, "Oh my
gosh! I feel sorry for the guy
who gets her!" never dreaming
that it might be himself!

Well, the real Esmerelda's
date turned out O. K., but for
Hiram, it sure had a scary start.
So, don't worry if your date
seems to be a real dud. He could
be like "Esmerelda."

(P. S. The above story is true.
Only the names have been
changed to protect the guilty.)

Archetypes in Ebony the homecoming scene in Sounder

by NANCY VICK
PROFILE Movie Editor

There is no sex in Sounder;
not only that, but there is no
killing, no violence, no per-
versity, no profanity, no gore.
This in itself will keep many
away.

Sounder is the story of the
trials and tribulations of a desti-
tute black family during the De-
pression. The devoted father,
Nathan, is trying desperately to
scrounge a meager existence for
himself, his wife, and his three
children by sharecropping in
rural Louisiana. After Nathan is
apprehended for stealing food
and sent to a state prison camp,
his wife and son David must to-
gether share all responsibilities
until the father's return.

Cicely Tyson is without a
doubt, the finest talent of the
cast as Rebecca, the illiterate but
sensitive wife. The performances
of Nathan, plaved by Paul Win-
tield, and David (Kevin Hooks),

deserve at least moderate praise.
Nathan is absent throughout
most of the movie, and David
appears at times stiff and un-
natural. But young Hooks does
demonstrate the gradual matura-
tion of the son during the year
of the father's sentence.

Despite a simple plot which
lacks any clearcut moral mes-
sage, Sounder is a significant
contribution to today's film
making. First of all, it creates an
empathy of blackness for all
who see it. A white is able to
become black for two hours and
to look at life especially
Southern life from the other
side of the fence.

Secondly, and perhaps most
important is the giant step
Sounder has made toward the
new black film. In the past year
we have been bombarded with
such masterpieces as Superfly
and Shaft, which offer black
audiences a chance to sec the
"whiteys" knocked off by black

superheroes. Needless to say,
plots like these do not serve to
help create a better understand-
ing between the races. Sounder,
with all its tenderness and genu-
ine humanncss, has a very per-
sonal message for blacks and
whites alike. Hopefully, pro-
ducer Robert Radnitz and di-
rector Martin Ritt have planted a
seed.

Sounder has been praised
abundantly by many critics, in-
cluding Terry Kay and Judith
Crist, for its substance, pho-
tography and screenplay. Al-
though I feel that the technical
aspects have been overly ap-
plauded, Sounder definitely has
a place among the significant
movies of the year because of its
basic aims.

It's rated "G" at the Peach-
tree Battle. How long has it been
since you saw a simple and
heartwarming movie 7 Sounder
may offer a refreshing change.

Please fasten your seatbelts
and observe the No Smoking
signs during takeoff.

And so began the Glee Club's
first singing tour of Europe. We
landed in Brussels and bounced
to Paris where we were met by a
gold, many-windowed bus which
we soon came to know quite
well.

We were to have our first con-
cert at the American Church in
Paris. After dressing and practic-
ing, we were ready to begin
without an audience. I remem-
ber thinking that surely someone
would come, if only to hear
English spoken. A somewhat
"disconcerted" group reboarded
the bus where we were told that
we hadn't been expected until
the following week. (An ad-
ministrative mistake - at least
our egos remained intact.)

Our second day was spent
touring all of the familiar sights
of Paris. We were certainly sur-
prised to see Marlene Dietrich
(with whom we sang during the
Dogwood Festival) in the

Louvre.

From Paris, we motored to
the palace of Fontainbleu and
then south to Dijon, a fairly un-
glamorous stop. From Dijon we
crossed the Alps. I don't believe
I will ever have such an exhila-
rating experience as looking
down on thousands of miles of
snow-capped mountains and
winding streams.

The picturesque chateaux
indicated our descent into Switz-
erland. After a detour to include
Geneva with its cloud-reaching
fountain and infamous Butcher-
er, we proceeded to Bern where
everyone stocked up on music
boxes and cuckoo clocks.

Motoring south, we unmis-
takenly were near Italy. Every
roadbank was tiered with grape
vines indicative of those many
wines. After a very "Italian"
welcome (the border policeman
insisted on kissing each of us) we
steered toward Venice, everyone
anticipating our first concert.

We boarded motor boats to
whiz us through Venetian canals

This question was answered by Marcia Knight, Chairman of

and hurriedly prepared to sing
for Mass that evening. (Our
warm-up was in the hotel's res-
taurant.) We were flattered that
the President of Italy was among
those present that evening at St.
Mark's Basilica. The following
day we had a most enjoyable
tour of historic Venice.

From Venice we drove into
Yugoslavia's lush green hills. I
have heard that one can never
take a picture in Yugoslavia that
isn't color perfect. (Apparently
whoever spread that rumor
hadn't met me.)

We knew we were in Zagreb
when someone spotted a poster
advertising our concert. (We
spent the next day ripping the
billboards down for souvenirs.)
Our concert in Zagreb at St.
Stephen's Church was probably
the most meaningful to the
group. Singing from the altar
steps, we could look out and see
the people. We were enthusi-
astically received by a standing
room only crowd.

The greatest adjustment the
group had to make in singing
was acoustical. But what an ad-
justment the domed ceilings
of the churches literally made us
ring angelically.

Of special interest in Zagreb
was the open market where
beautifully hand-carved orna-
ments were available at a frac-
tion of their U. S. cost.

Surprisingly, communication
barriers presented few problems.
Thirty girls traveling together
brought us much attention and
the fact that our spirits were
high was contagious to the
Europeans.

After leaving Zagreb, we
headed further behind the Iron
Curtain into Hungary. A two
hour border wait made us appre-
hensive about how enjoyable our
stay in Budapest would be, but

FACULTY-AT-HOMES

Students outside Notre Dame

one look at our glamorous hotel
quickly changed our minds.
While touring in this lovely city,
another choral group inspired us
to give a spontaneous concert in
one of the churches.

From Budapest, we set out
for Vienna, Austria. While
motoring down some winding
country road at about 70 mph
(the average speed of our fearless
bus driver whose attention was
focused usually on the girls in
the bus), a pebble shattered one
windshield. Luckily, there were
no injuries other than those in-
flicted by the 10,000 bugs that
decided the bus must be Pan-
dora's box.

Once in Vienna, we hustled
to church for our most presti-
gious concert, among events of
the Vienna Arts Festival.
Specially requested here were
Negro Spirituals. I was disap-
pointed that we were way up in
the choir loft and missed the
personal contact with the
audience.

From Vienna, we went to
Salzburg in the beautiful moun-
tains reminiscent of The Sound
of Music. I must admit that our

concert at the Homburg Convent
was not quite up to par, but we
attribute that to having weather
and homesick misses.

Our stay in Heidelburg was
uneventful, but the Rhine cruise
was a highpoint of the tour. We
passed magnificent castle after
castle.

From Germany, we easily
crossed into Amsterdam, the
Netherlands, where everything
seemed highly Americanized.
Our concei t there was the only
one of the tour which was not in
a church. We sang at the Home
for the Aged where we were
greatly appreciated. Afterwards
there was a reception and we
were made honorary ambas-
sadors of the city.

From Amsterdam's wind-
mills, wooden shoes, and cheese
factory, we drove toward Brus-
sels, one final stop of the tour.
Our accommodations in Brussels
were not glamorous, to say the
least, and everyone was anxious
to get home.

As we flew over the Atlantic,
the Glee Club gave its final per-
formance - somewhat off-key -
to the passengers of the plane.

Good food, good company

by BEVERLY WILLIAMS

On Sunday, November 5,
eleven Scotties stood in front of
Main dorm at 3:30 p.m. Most of
us were uncertain about what to
expect, as we had never done
this type of thing before.

When all members of our
party had arrived, we "stacked"
ourselves into two cars and
headed toward Stone Mountain.
The ride really put us at ease be-
cause a ride out in the open on a
brilliant fall day will do it every
time. But the best was yet to
come.

After Dr. Frierson drove us
into the driveway of his Kenil-
worth home, we were warmly
greeted by Mrs. Frierson, who
had prepared a feast of hors
d'oeuvres for her guests, who,
fortunately, were us\ There was
a table full of scrumptious dips,
crackers, potato chips, tea cakes
and even a delicious beef spread
made from an Arkansas family
recipe.

As we sat on the patio which
overlooks the lake and munched
on our goodies, several girls men-
tioned a fact that had been lurk-
ing in the minds of all of us -
we were actually in a real home,
and such a pleasant one!

Observing the beauty of such
wonderful surroundings made us
want to know more. So, Dr.
Frierson gave guided tours in
two shifts (somebody always
had to make sure the refresh-
ments were being properly
disposed of!). He has put so
much time and energy into land-
scaping his backyard, that it is
almost impossible to imagine
that just thirteen years ago, all
that was to be seen were four
very deep clay gullies. Now, he
has so many healthy plants
growing in his yard on each of
the terraces, you could compare
it to a greenhouse.

Probably what is most amaz-

ing, though, is the history of
some of these plants. Did you
know that he has a mock cypress
tree that was rooted from the
tree by the Campbell science
building, which was originally
rooted from a sprig off a funeral
wreath? And did you also know
that by injecting hormones into
a camellia bud, he can produce a
flower at any time during the
year?

The afternoon was brought to
a close in the living room of the
Frierson home following an en-
lightening conversation which
touched on almost everything.
The ride back, toward an ex-
ceptionally beautiful sunset, was
an appropriate ending to a day
in which these Scotties had had
their lives enriched because they
decided to find out what our
faculty is really like.

Many thanks again, Dr. and
Mrs. Frierson.

HIGH MUSEUM TO OPEN
'GEORGIA ARTISTS II" EXHIBITION

Works by 175 artists from throughout the state of Georgia, in-
cluding Leland Staven and Robert Westervelt of the Agnes Scott Art
Department, are being assembled at The High Museum of Art, At-
lanta, for the exhibition, Georgia Artists II. The invitational show
opened Sunday, November 12, and will be on view through Decem-
ber 10, during regular Museum hours.

Over 200 works, personally selected by Museum Director
Gudmund Vigtel in consultation with each artist, form the diversi-
fied exhibition which will be displayed in the Museum's first floor
galleries. The works reflect a variety of styles and approaches in
many media - paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculpture, photo-
graphs, ceramics, assemblages, textiles, hangings, jewelry, wooden
bowls, prints and constructions.

Georgia Artists II is a sequel to the highly successful Georgia
Artists I exhibition held in November 1971, which in turn replaced
the juried Southeastern Annual Exhibitions organized yearly by the
High Museum since 1946. It is planned to hold the Georgia Artists
exhibition on a biennial schedule after 1972.

Georgia Artists is an effort to present to the public a representa-
tive selection of artworks now being created in Georgia. Mr. Vigtel
has been visiting artists' studios and art schools in every area of the
state since early in the year to make selections for the upcoming
panorama of Georgia arts.

"It is fair to say that the Georgia Artists exhibitions are a tribute
to the artists of our state in recognition of their talents, their pro-
fessionalism, and their personal involvement," Mr. Vigtel comments,
adding that the exhibitions serve "to bring the art and the public
much closer together than anything else we have done in the past."

A symposium of Georgia artists moderated by George Beattie,
Arts Advisor to the Governor, is slated for Sunday, November 19, at
3:00 p.m. in the Museum's Hill Auditorium. Panelists to appear are
George Beasley, Benjamin Colbert, Robert Fusil lo, jim Herbert, and
Robin Johnstone. The symposium is free and the public is invited.

Georgia Artists II exhibition is free and open to the public.
Museum hours are: Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.; Thursday evening until 10:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 12 noon to
5:00 p.m.

This is freedom?

by JAN LEE - STUDENT OPINION

The proposed "Equal Rights
Amendment" to the United
States Constitution is not as in-
nocent and reasonable as some
people make it sound. I started
looking into this proposal after I
heard the talk on Women's Lib
given by an Agnes Scott alumna
at convocation. From what I've
learned so far, this amendment is
the most incredible, ridiculous
piece of legislation imaginable
and I think it is the responsi-
bility of every student in this
state to get a copy of this bill
and study it and know what's
going on.

From what I understand, this
proposal will have extensive and
radical consequences. This
Nixon-endorsed amendment has
been approved by both Congress
and the legislatures of twenty
states. If 18 more state legis-

latures vote for it, this absurd
and needless legislation will be-
come the law of the land.

According to Yale law profes-
sor Thomas Emerson, in the
Yale Law Journal of April 197 1 ,
"The Equal Rights Amendment
would bar a state from imposing
greater liability for support on a
husband than on a wife merely
because of his sex." The natural
foundations of marriage and tra-
ditional family life would more
or less disappear. It would cer-
tainly increase public dependen-
cy. It would also force married
women to leave their families to
look for work and be just as
responsible as fathers are in
bringing home the bread.

Also, according to the Yale
Law Journal, it would require
the drafting of women for mili-

tary service. "This proposal to
hurl women into combat in the
name of 'equal rights' would
cause unusual consequences
when the military is required to
see women as it sees men."
(Professor Emerson)

I hose who pushed hardest
for this amendment, including
President Nixon, "know what
it's all about," and it's time the
silent majority finds out, before
it passes through our state legis-
latures. There are by nature
physiological, psychological, and
functional differences between
males and females and this ludi-
crous legal fiction that men and
women are "identical" is insane.
I strongly feel that all of us need
to take the time to read more
about this proposed "pro-
gressive" change.

That was the election that was

by KAY PINCKNEY

Sunday, November 5, 1972

Professor Angus Campbell,
eminent social reseacher and
senior author of The American
Voter, a classic study of why
Americans vote the way they do,
came to share his ideas with the
Scott community and friends in
an election seminar held one
week before THE ELECTION,
1972. Those who expected him
to predict the results of the
Presidential race went away dis-
appointed. However, he did
answer "no" to the question,
"Depending on its outcome, will
this Presidential election result
in either a revolution or a re-
action for America?"

The professor, who resembles
Walter Cronkite in appearance
and manner, pointed out three
crucial changes in recent Ameri-
can life and experience. He cited
modifications in "the pattern of
racial relationships," the role
and situation of women, and the
increasing insistence by the
courts on the defense of the civil
rights of the citizen. However,
these changes, according to
Campbell, do not foreshadow a
revolutionary reordering of
priorities on November 7.
Neither can these trends be re-
versed, for they are evolutionary
in nature, and cannot be re-
versed by the will of one man in
the White House and his ap-
pointees.

Although most prognosti-
cators forsee a Nixon landslide,
Campbell would not call 1972 a
realigning election. For realign-
ment to occur, Democratic

voters would switch their party
identification in massive num-
bers. At present, the Republican
Party is the minority party in
the United States. Campbell
forecasts a permenent realign-
ment only if: McGovern gives
the entire Democratic Party a
"radical" image; OR Nixon re-
ceives an overwhelming majority
of the youth vote; OR the Wal-
lace voters transfer their party
identification to the Republican
Party.

All these possibilities are
remote, says Campbell, especial-
ly the third one. He believes that
Wallace voters do not trust
either party, but are instead tied
to a charismatic leader. Their
second choice for the Presidency
this year is Ted Kennedy.

On the second evening of the
election seminar, three more
"experts" appeared on a panel
with Professor Campbell: Zell
Miller, Democratic leader; Newt
Gingrich, Republican leader; and
Hal Gulliver, not-so-neutral
journalist. The panelists, when
asked whether they thought
1972 would be a year of voter
realignment, agreed with Camp-
bell. Gingrich thought Nixon's
landslide victory (his predic-
tion), would be a "momentary
aberration" from traditional
voting patterns. Miller prognosti-
cated a "realignment back to the
center" in both parties following
the election. Gulliver predicted
that although Nixon was expect-
ed to win by a landslide, the
Democrats might gain seats in
both Houses of Congress. He em-
phasized that the incumbent

President never has had any
coattails to speak of.

WHICH ONE WILL IT BE?
Postscript -

Hal Gulliver returned to the
Scott campus as a convocation
speaker on November 8 to
"analyze" the national election.
He attributed Nixon's landslide
victory over McGovern (61% to
38%) principally to Nixon's
image in the public eye as a
leader possessing professional
competence. He contends that
"McGovern didn't command
credibility and viability" among
enough segments of the elector-
ate to win. Nixon won, not be-
cause of any personal popular-
ity, but because McGovern did
not present a "viable alternative
government" to the majority of
the voters.

As the newsman had predict-
ed earlier, the Democrats did all
right. In Georgia alone, they re-
tained a Senate seat and gained a
House seat, despite the Presi-
dent's sweep of Georgia. Demo-
crat Sam Nunn gave Republican
Fletcher Thompson a drubbing
in the Senate race, while the
Reverend Andrew Young defeat-
ed State Representative Rodney

Juilliard Quartet stringing us along

by ANN FINCHER

The Juilliard String Quartet
will perform on the Agnes Scott
campus Wednesday, December
6. The quartet, composed of

Robert Mann (violin), Earl
Carlyss (violin), Samuel Rhodes
(viola), and Claus Adams
(violoncello), visited Scott last

year and was warmly received.
At 8:1 5 p.m. in Presser, the cele-
brated quartet will perform
again.

WILL THE REAL
SOCORRO CAPO
PLEASE STAND UP

The quartet has just finished
an active year on tour. During
the past summer, they were the
guest artists at Aspen, Colorado.
Highlights of their 1971-72
season included an annual North
American Transcontinental tour,
concerts at the Library of Con-
gress in Washington, several
series in New York, and an ex-
tensive European tour.

In addition to being quartet-
in-residence at the Juilliard
School of Music, the group has
been quartet-in-residence at the
Library of Congress in Washing-
ton since 1962. This position en-
titles the quartet to use the
famed Stradivarius instruments
which were willed to the people
of the United States by Mrs.
Gertrude Clarke Whittall in
1936.

The quartet began its activi-
ties in 1946, and since that time
has built a repertoire of more
than one hundred thirty-five
works. This repertoire includes
classics such as Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven and Schubert, as well
as contemporary composers such
as Bartok, Weber and Schoen-
berg.

In 1961 the quartet became
the first American string quartet
to visit the Soviet Union. The
response to their first concert in
Moscow was tremendous: four
encores and a standing ovation.
The program planned for
Wednesday evening includes
compositions by J. N. Hummel,
Bartok and Beethoven. There
will be an intermission. The cam-
pus community is cordially in-
vited to attend.

A new twist

to brown-bagging

Brown-bagging (your lunch,
that is) has hit the campus! The
Executive Committee of the
local chapter of the American
Association of University Profes-
sors (AAUP) has organized a
series of lunchtime "Sandwich
Seminars" to be held periodical-
ly throughout the year at the
Faculty Club. The purpose of
these informal discussions is to

present an opportunity Tor all
faculty members and students to
engage in "cross-disciplinary"
discussions of current faculty re-
search and writing projects.

Bring your own lunch and
join the group for a good time
and interesting discussion.
Coffee, tea, and soft drinks are

College's own exam

by CHRISTINE CLARK

In early February, Dr. Cecil
Abernethy, chairman of the
visiting committee of the South-
ern Association of Colleges and
Schools, will make a prelim /
visit to Agnes Scott. He will re-
view the self-study the college
made last year and see if more is
needed. According to Myrna
Young, Associate Professor of
Classical Languages and Litera-
ture and chairman of Agnes
Scott's self-study committee, the
rest of the visiting committee
has not been chosen.

During April 1-4, Dr. Aber-

nethy and his committee will be
on campus to talk to students
and faculty. Mrs. Young says
that the committee may do any-
thing it wants in order to de-
termine the "state of the cam-
pus." After it has finished its ex-
amination of the campus, the
members of the committee will
have a meeting with Dr. Alston,
telling him what they have
found out from their observa-
tions and from the study that
the college made. Later, a writ-
ten report will be sent to Dr.
Alston.

Blocking it

Reading over some news articles about other schools, I chanced
upon an unusual calendar system which caught my interest and
imagination. Colorado College in Colorado Springs operates on what
is termed a "block plan. "

The main distinguishing feature of the system is the fact that a
student studies only one subject at a time, but for a shorter time
period - summer school the whole year, sort of speak. Allow me to
illustrate with some figures. If a student takes three 5-hour courses
in a nine week quarter, then he attends 45 hours of class in each
subject. Under the block plan, the student would spend three weeks
on each subject meeting class three hours a day, five days a week
would give him the same amount of actual class time. Exams and a
day or two break would follow each block. The same idea would
apply to faculty members; each professor would teach only one
course during a given block.

Courses that are now ten hours could occupy two blocks. (I guess
the same could apply for our 9-hour courses.) These blocks could be
placed consecutively or not. Independent Study might occupy one,
two, or perhaps even three blocks, depending on the scope of the
student's task.

Every student has probably known the frustration of having a big
test or paper in one subject and so allowing her other subjects to
slide. Then when the test is over or the paper finished, there's an
uphill battle to catch up the other work. This problem would be
relieved.

Still, you may be having the reaction "What, read the entire
Old Testament in three weeks time? !" But if that's the only course
you had? ?

The intensity might be good or bad. Take a 10-hour course in
French and for six weeks literally live and breathe in French. Set up
housekeeping in Dana practically, and paint away to your heart's
content. If the course were good, the student would have the real
freedom to get thoroughly engrossed in it without being pulled away
to another subject. If the course were not so good, those three weeks
could be pretty bad.

One further note - 88% of the students and 81% of the faculty at
Colorado College prefer this plan. Very interesting.

Please refresh
your memory. . .

A welcome relief not to have upperclassmen hall meetings to
repeat the Exam Procedure regulations! Instead, the exam pro-
cedure is easily accessible - it is found on page 36 in this year's
Handbook; specific information about scheduled exams and
exams with more than 40 people is posted on each hall (in addi-
tion to being posted in Buttrick).

It is ayn individual responsibilitv to re-familiarize yourself with
the exam procedure - negligence is no excuse.

Also note the changes in the Book Store hours during exams.
The Book Store will be open so that >ou can purchase last minute
bluebooks before all exam periods.

To the Editor:

As a student on work scholar-
ship assigned to the library, I
feel impelled to answer your
thoughtless editorial regarding
library hours.

The library is sadly under-
staffed. A total of ten staff
members and thirteen students
(who work only 2 to TA hours a
week) keeps the library open ap-
proximately eighty-five hours a
week. Most of the staff works
every morning, and at least one
staff member and one student is
on duty each night.

Your suggestion that one stu-
dent should be able to operate
and close the library alone re-
veals your lack of understanding
of the amount of work that the
staff and students must do. One
person would have a hard time
closing the library, although it is
sometimes done by experienced
staff members. It is much more
than a matter of turning off the
lights and locking the doors. The
procedure is long and involved,
and, I believe, requires a certain
amount of timing.

To the Editor:

After having read Mr. Vol-
koff's comment upon the article,
"A Political Analysis: How Does
Scott Compare," we, as mem-
bers of the junior class, would
like to respond to one of his
statements.

We understand Mr. Volkoff's
criticism of the article in that it
implied to him that the more
education one acquires, the
more liberal politically one be-
comes. We agree that this could
possibly seem to him a tremen-

To the Editor:

I strongly disagree with the
conclusions reached by the
author of "This is freedom?"
(PROFILE, November 16,
1 972). The Equal Rights
Amendment does not assume
"that men and women are iden-
tical." The proposed 27th
Amendment to the United
States Constitution states
"Equality of rights under the
law shall not be denied or
abridged by the ' United States or
by any State on account of sex. "

Secondly, the ERA is prob-
ably a bitter pill for President
Nixon to swallow, given his long
history of anti-feminism. How-

Taking into consideration
your ignorance of library pro-
cedure, your suggestion still
strikes me as most inconsiderate.
Would you or anv other student
want to have such a responsi-
bility thrust jrjpori you? Would
vou like to work until \our sug-
gested midnight, one night each
week? I'm sure that some stu-
dents on hostess duty can tell
you that it's no tun, not even
occasionally.

Friday night hours were just
cut back this year, after a survey
last year. The number of stu-
dents in the library was checked
between certain hours. Often,
the number of staff members
outnumbered the students
studying in the library. Let's be
honest - would yeuj take advan-
tage of later library hours' I
doubt it.

You mention that com-
parable schools keep their libra-
ries open late. I would like to
mention that some small private
colleges are able to staff their li-
braries and other facilities for
such long hours because of
government financial help.

dous generalization, but Mr. Vol-
koff combats one generalization
with another. We feel that this is
totally unfair.

It seems unreasonable to ac-
cuse the two upper classes of
being less academically oriented
during their first two years than
their younger counterparts of
the freshman and sophomore
classes, based on the opinions of
"most teachers." Academic pur-
suit is a matter of each individ-
ual's interest, as is political affili-
ation. As for the "national trend
towards less demagoguery and

ever, he knows public opinion is
in favor of the ERA, so he sup-
ports it.

In the third place, any mar-
riage which would fall apart (as
Miss Lee suggests) if circum-
stances required the husband
and the wife to share equally in
financial support of the family,
is not much of a marriage to
begin with, in my opinion.

Probably women would be
drafted into the armed forces
under a ratified ERA, provided
that Congress passed such a draft
law. It is just as immoral for
young men to die in combat as it
would be tor young women to
do so. In tact, the thought ot

student has followed the modern
verbal and otherwise "liberal"
trend. It was encouraging to be
able to listen to a play without
having profanity fill my mind. I
met your director, Miss Winter,
and she is a very lovely person. I
was glad to learn that she is a
Christian. I enjoyed getting to
know Erin and other Christians
at your college and in learning
that it is possible for Christian
people to enter the drama world

Agnes Scott, however, is inde-
pendent and, incidental^, in
years to come, this tact mav save
Scott when othei small private
colleges told.

Unfortunately, youi attitude
seems to me to be representative
of that of most of the student
body. Having witnessed the fan-
tastic job that Mr. Stewart, Miss
Newman, and all the ladies on
the library staff do, I have ac-
quired a full appreciation of
them. I am grateful and amazed
that they find it possible to keep
the library open as much as thev
do.

I believe that if you had
looked into the situation on
more than a superficial level,
you would not have written this
editorial.

In closing, I would like to
thank the entire library stall for
the work that they do ever} day,
all year round, for my sell and
every other student (past, pre-
sent, and future) of Agnes Scott.
I think they do a remarkable
job.

Sincerely,

Education:
dollars and

Univ. Center- how it works

sense

by LUCY BROCKMAN

The November issue of 77?^
A t/anta Magazine carries an
interesting and somewhat fright-
ening article entitled "Dollars vs.
Scholars." It discusses the chang-
ing financial position of Georgia
private colleges and universities.

During the sixties, the college
enrollments and endowments
soared. However, that image has
drastically changed in the last
few years. Where once the
private schools could boast the
greatest wealth, they are now
feeling the money crunch, while
the state universities are re-
ceiving legislative appropriations.
One hundred-nine private col-
leges have gone bankrupt in the
last three years and the others
are desperately making fund-
raising and enrollment-boosting
plans to make up for the defi-
cits.

The idea of a college educa-
tion has, in the first place, lost
its appeal for many. While col-
lege was somewhat of a fad in
the sixties, it left a bad taste in
the mouth of some because of
the unrest and demonstrations.
Now, even though these have
disappeared, so has the demand
for higher education.

Students are choosing to go
to work instead of to college,
and the majority of those who
do continue their education are
choosing the state universities.
The private college is no longer
the only place to get a "good
education," and the state school
is certainly less expensive.

Although all are feeling the
pinch, it is worse for private in-
stitutions who depend to a large
extent on tuition. Many have
priced themselves out of the
moderate range. Agnes Scott
College is an exception to this;
its tuition is next to the bottom
among leading women's schools.

Neither is the university
system altogether happy about
the migration from private to
state schools, for budgets are
stretching thin all around. In
1972, the Georgia Legislature
passed a tuition bill grant of
$400.00 to any resident entering
a private Georgia institution as a
freshman or sophomore.

Private colleges have had, on
their own, to cut down on per-

Scholarship established

(Reprinted from THE AGNES

Recently Ruth Pringle (Mrs.
W. B.) Pipkin, '31, of Reidsville,
North Carolina, made a gift of
over $10,000.00 to the school to
establish a scholarship fund
honoring Dr. Emily S. Dexter,
Associate Professor of Philoso-
phy, Psychology, and Education,
Emeritus. The terms of this gift
state that the "Emily S. Dexter.
Scholarship Fund is being estab-
lished ... to recognize and
honor Miss Dexter for her signif-
icant service as a teacher " of
psychology at Agnes Scott from
1923 to 1955."

Each year the Department of
Psychology will make nomina-
tions for this award from mem-
bers of the rising senior class
taking advanced psychology
courses; the final selection of the

award recipient is to be made by
the Administrative Awards Com-
mittee. The donor has further
stipulated that "excellence in
scholarship" and "leadership in
the college" are to be the criteria
in selecting the student to re-
ceive the Emily S. Dexter
Scholarship.

A REMINDER: The
PROFILE staff hosts an open
house tonight at 6:30 in the
Pub. These meetings are held
in order to give the campus
community an opportunity
to come by and talk with us
about the newspaper and the
school in general. We're look-
ing forward to having you

Challenged to a grant

President Wallace M. Alston
has announced that an anony-
mous foundation has offered
Agnes Scott a challenge grant of
$500,000 for its Endowment
Fund. To claim the grant, the
college must secure an equal
amount in gifts for capital pur-
poses (equipment, building im-
provements, endowed scholar-
ships, etc.).

The foundation's offer has
prompted the school to seek a
total of $1,500,000 in gifts this
year. This amount includes both
the challenge offer and the
$500,000 needed to claim it.
The remaining $500,000 in gifts
will be for the college's 1972-73
operating budget.

The $1,500,000 goal can be
summarized briefly as follows:

Financial Assistance to Current Stucents
Endowed Scholarships
Academic Program
New Equipment
Library Modernization

Foundation 's grant

private institutions of the state
including Agnes Scott, Georgia
Tech, Emory, Oglethorpe, the
University of Georgia, Georgia
State, Columbia Theological
Seminary, and the Atlanta Uni-
versity Center.

Each school president is a re-
presentative of his school to the
Center's Presidents' Council,
which meets at given times to
discuss the Center. Also, chief
academic persons are chosen as
representatives to a very similar
council for the same purpose.

There are many useful facili-
ties that the student can draw
from, and the Center provides a
privileged convenience. The Cen-
ter, in fact, has only one slight
drawback - some of the mem-
ber institutions are public and
some are private. The Board of
Regents controls the public insti-
tutions and therefore there is
not as much freedom in the
programs of the Center as might
be liked.

One of the most useful facets
of the Center is the acquisition
of visiting scholars. If several de-
partments of several schools are
interested in a speaker on a cer-
tain discipline, each school will
share the expense of bringing
him to the Center. This helps the
speaker (he gets a larger audi-
ence) and, of course, decreased
expense helps the participating
schools.

Another convenient aspect of
the Center is the interlibrary
loan. If a student needs a book
or periodical that his library
does not have, he can obtain it
by interlibrary loan. He could

not, however, use the inter-
library loan if ihe book was
simply in use or checked out at
the time; the book must be
totally absent from that library.

There are two ways to obtain
a book by interlibrary loan. The
librarian will issue the student a
card and it will enable him to
use the facilities of other
schools' libraries. Oftentimes, it
is impossible to get to another
library due to lack of transporta-
tion. So, another way to get a
book is to ask the librarian to
order it from the Center. A
bookmobile service runs from
member school to member
school and books arrive here
Tuesdays and Fridays.

Faculty, members, as well as
students, may keep a book only
two weeks and must follow the
rules of the library from which it
was borrowed. Any abuse of the
interlibrary loan will be reported
to the student's own librarian
and subsequent action will be
taken, including the removal of
the student's interlibrary loan
privilege.

If you would like to know if
a certain book is available
through the Center, call the
Emory University Library and
ask for the Union Catalogue
Office. (Emory can house it in
its new library the Union
Catalogue is huge.) They have
every single book and periodical
from each member institution
on catalogue.

Hopefully, more students will
use the University Center for
what could be a valuable source
of information.

If you use all of the pages in your bluebook and need more paper

2. What is great about Agnes Scott according to the new stu-
dents?

To answer this question, the committee asked several students to
give their own ideas:

Second Rebekah and a "B" in Psych. - ]udy Sapp, '76. I like
Agnes Scott because it gives my life meaning for the moment while
enriching the future. - Pam Edwards, '75. The people. - Alice
Cromer, '76. Friends. - Win Anne Wannamaker, '76. I think the
people are jtlst great! - Betty Pate, '76. The concern and warmth
which the upperclassmen have for the freshmen was what impressed
me most about Scott - that and the general friendliness one finds by
just walking from class to class. - Stacie Faiola, 76. My favorite
things about Agnes are the enthusiasm and closeness of the students,
the chance to do something you've never done before (things like
Dolphin Club and working on the play), and the patience of the
upperclassmen who teach you these things. (My least favorite thing
is the lack of time to do everything you want to do and still keep
up.) - Anne Walker, '76. The individual attention The professors give
you when you need help. - Gay Blackburn, '76. r.e unique rela-
tionship of community spirit between the faculty an ! ! e students.
- Shari Shufelt, '76.

The Spirit Committee would like to wish everyone a good vaca-
tion, a happy holiday, and GOOD LUCK on EXAMS! ! ! !

CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Dance with Joy

by BETSY ROWLAND

The Agnes Scott Dance
Group will present its Christ-
mas Concert on Wednesday,
December 6, at 11:00 a.m. in
Gaines Auditorium. The
program will include six
dances choreographed es-
pecially for the Christmas
season.

The movements of the
I four dancers in "Little Suite
lof Rejoicing" parallel the
progression of the Bach music
from light lyricism through
frivolous gaiety to open re-
jo icing. "Russian Christmas"
is based on a Russian folk
dance with its strength and
rigor in the dance of the boys
and the charm of the girl
I dances. To Leontovich's
familiar Carol of the Bells,
four dancers move with crisp,
I swinging rhythms, reacting to
I each other as a string of bells.

"The Visitation " is a study
| of lyrical and abstract move-

ments. In this piece, the lyric-
al and childlike dance of
Mary is juxtaposed against
the angular movements of the
Spirit. "Chorale" is reminis-
cent of Renaissance court
dances in which the per-
formers move with controlled
lyricism in traditional pat-
terns of stately walks and
turns. The tempo alternates
between sustained and pert
movements.

To Neil Diamond's Missa,
an African mass sung in
Swahili, the dancers attempt
to express belief in and recog-
nition of a higher Power with-
out the use of traditional
Christian symbols. The pat-
terns are openly primitive as
the dancers seek a unified
Spirit within undefined
Space. Of the six dances to be
per for med on Wednesday,
five are student choreo-
graphed; and "Little Suite of
Rejoicing" was choreo-

Mo vemen t from ' 'Chorale ' '

graphed by Mrs. Darling.

The half-hour performance
to be given on December 6
may be the "highlight" for
the dance performers and the
audience, but the weeks of
preparation are the truly
creative days for the dance
group members. Besides'
spending hours on technique
that tunes the body for per-
formance, the members are
called upon ta create some,
through original choreogra-
phy; others, by impressing
their own style or dramatic
interpretation on the move-
ments given them. Although
the audience does not see the
alternating periods of inspira-
tion and frustration which
mark the progress of a dance
creation, the performers hope
to sustain within the final
composition that vitality with
which the movements were
discovered in the initial im-
provisation.

PROFILE Movie Editor

Personal reminiscences of one
whose life is less than extra-
ordinary are usually less than
fascinating to others. This
theory is confirmed by A Sep-
arate Peace. Unfortunately,
boredom is by no means its only
shortcoming.

The story, taken from the
award-winning novel of John
Knowles, centers around the
friendship of two young men at
a boys' prep school during World
War II. Gene (Parker Stevenson),
the stereotyped scholar, mani-
fests his unconscious jealousy
towards his best friend, Finny
(John Hey I), a stereotyped
athlete-natural leader, by knock-
ing him out of a tree. The rest oT
the movie is concerned with the
repercussions of Gene's act,
which results in the disability of
Finny.

An accurate recreation of
Knowles' characters requires a
great deal of personal insight on
the part of the players. Of this,
there is a complete lack. The act-

ing is horrible. To deviate from a
monotone seems an impossible
feat for any of the performers.
The director, Larry Peerce, is
unable to wring from his charac-
ters anything better than rigid,
ill-timed reactions to cues. The
silences are awkward, as if the
actors are waiting for the next
line. All of these things leave the
audience in the cold, shuffling
about and coughing, unable to
relate or to become involved.

Another critical failing of A
Separate Peace is in the more
technical area. There are con-
stant shifts of scene, and each
one is usually unrelated to the
last. The viewer is left hanging as
to the significance of one se-
quence while already halfway
through the next. Some se-
quences are unreal istically melo-
dramatic while others are ridicu-
lously inconsequential.

As a book, A Separate Peace
is a worthwhile glimpse into
adolescence; as a movie, it is a
waste of $2.50. But just for the
record, it is playing at the Broad-
view II.

TEACHERS' EXAMS

Info, given

by LUCY BROCKMAN

Scott seniors preparing to
teach school may take the Na-
tional Teacher Examinations on
January 27, April 7, or July 21,
1973. They will be given at
Emory University for students in
this area. The results of these
tests are used by many large
school districts as one of several
factors in the selection of new
teachers and by several states in
the certification or licensing of
teachers.

Although the exams are not a
requirement for receiving certifi-
cation at Scott, there are certain
states and districts that require
or strongly urge that prospective
teachers take them. There is a
list of these areas posted on

one category (fiction, drama,
biography, etc.) or they may be
a mixture. The books can be
second-hand.

In May, at the time of the
contest, the student assembles
her collection and is interviewed
in an informal manner by a com-
mittee.

The student judged to have
the best collection is awarded a
prize of $50.00. The money is to

FRANCE

by ALLYSON BUZZINI

Christmas in France is a very
joyous holiday. Traditions today
vary according to individual
families. On Christmas Eve in
some homes, each member of
the family puts a shoe in front
of the fireplace. Some families
decorate a Christmas tree as
well, usually with candles.

The family gathers on Christ-
mas Eve for a lengthy supper. In
France, the largest meal is at
noon, but on Christmas Eve one
must pass the time until mid-
night mass.

Li means focus the greater part
of their attention around the
creche or Nacimiento which re-
presents the Nativity scene.
Building and decorating the
Nacimiento carries all the excite
ment of decorating a tree, but is
closer to the religious feeling of

. o in the United States, busi-
nessmen in Lima took advantage
of children's faith in Santa
Claus. This year, however, the
revolutionary government has
passed a resolution prohibiting
all commercial uses of Santa
Claus or any religious figure.
They hope that Christmas will,
in this way, be enriched with a
renewed emphasis on the reli-

CUBA

by EVA ADAN

The Christmas holiday
season, saturated with music and
color, is one of the traditional
celebrations in which tht Cuban
people participated up to a few
years ago.

The Christmas season began
in Cuba around the second half
of December. In every corner of
the cities, in each home, stood a
b r igh t fy decorated Christmas
tree protecting the small creche
below it.

Christmas day ut dawn, the
first notes of the Villancicos or
Christmas Carols were heard in-

When the family returns from
mass, the children find the gifts
that the infant Jesus has left in
their shoes. Usually each mem-
ber of the family receives only
one gift. Other families put their
children to bed and in the morn-
ing they find gifts from le pere
Noel under le sapin de Noel.

Other Christmas decorations
almost always include a nativity
scene and creches which the
children enjoy assembling, and
candles.

On Christmas, day, there is a

huge family dinner including
turkey and champagne and a tra-
ditional ice cream cake roll with
decorations usually purchased at
a patisserie, called bereche de
Noel.

For the New Year, children
visit their relatives and are given
sizable amounts of money in
place of gifts. In the villages and
cities of France, Christmas deco-
rations adorn the windows, but
on the whole, Christmas is not
very commercial in France. It is
more of an inner 'Joy. '

supper took place at about ten
that night. After supper, at mid-
night, each family went to the
Misa de Gallo, the service held in
praise of the newly born Savior.

Upon our return home, we
did not find presents as Ameri-
can children do. We did not get
ours until January 6, at dawn,
following the story of the three
kings who came from the Orient
to offer gifts to Jesus. Due to
the long way, they were late.

On January 5, we all went

some grass and water for the
tired camels. At dawn, if we had
been "good, " we found the
presents under our beds; if we
had misbehaved, the presents
were hidden somewhere else.

This time of religious celebra-
tion mixed with fantasy that we,
as Cuban children, enjoyed for
many years, belongs to a distant
past; "distant" because so many
things have happened in between
that we find hard to believe. For
Cubans, today, Christmas is a
season that belongs to the Chris-
tian world, of which they cannot
be a part.

by RUTH McMANUS

Christmas in Mexico begins
on December 16 and continues
with nine days of posadas. These
posadas are family parties in
which the journey to Bethlehem
is reinacted. A group of friends
carrying a nativity scene go to
the house where the party is to
be held, knock on the door, and
sing a song for shelter. The
people inside sing back saying
that they have no room for the
travelers. Then the travelers sing
a song explaining that the Holy
Mother, Mary, is with them. At
this, the doors are opened and
the party begins.

The main attraction of the

party is ine pinala. A pinaia is
an earthenware jar decorated
with papier-mache and hung
from the ceiling. Inside the
pi fiat a are all sorts of candies
and other sweets. And each
guest takes a turn hitting the
pinata until it breaks, when all
the children go diving for the
candies.

Instead of Santa Claus leaving
presents, the Mexican children
have the Day of the Three Wise
Men. This happy day is on
January 6. The children set out
their shoes to be filled with
presents from the Three Wise
Men.

CHINA-NEW YEAR'S CELERRATION

by KAREN ADAMS

The Chinese of the Mainland
do not celebrate Christmas, but
Christian families in Formosa do
in their private, religious ways.
In December, the Chinese do
celebrate their most important
time of the year the arrival of
the New Year.

The ancient Chinese calendar
was calculated according to the
eclipses of the sun and the
moon, so their dates do not cor
respond exactly with ours. In
fact, this holiday runs into our

February.

On the 23rd of the Chinese
Twelfth Moon, the whole family
gathers in the kitchen to worship
the Kitchen god, whose image is
placed on the wall or chimney.
It is on this night that the Kitch-
en god returns to heaven with a
report of the conduct of each
member of the family through-
out the ending year. The family
makes sure, however, to cover
up the mouth of the image with
molasses to prevent anything but
good to be said of them. The

image is then taken outside and
burned, so that he may rise to
heaven via the "chariot of fire.

One week later, on the final
day of the year, the family once
again gathers in the kitchen to
welcome the return of the Kitch-
en god. Firecrackers are lit, and
for the next fifteen days of the
new year, public offices are
usually closed for the festivities.
Peddlers sell toys and candy, and
jugglers roam the streets. Friends
and family visit, as we do in the

States. Businesses may open
after the first few days, but
"normal" life does not resume
until after the Lantern Festival
on the 15th.

The Lantern Festival is a fes-
tival of light which celebrates
the return of spring and the
lengthening of the day. Peking in
the North merely hangs out lan-
terns, but Shanghai in the South
erects a tall pole and attaches
long strings of lanterns. People
parade in costumes or grotesque

masks, carrying lanterns of vari-
ous animal and mythological
shapes. Covered by long robes,
boys on stilts stalk along like
giants. And most amazing is the
Chinese dragon, a 50-60 foot
lantern, which seems like a living
monster as it winds its way
through the streets on the legs of
a dozen or so men concealed
within its body.

Confucius say: Chinese sure
celebrate New Year in a bright
way!

Democratic convention: an eye-witness reports

by KAY PINCKNEY

Well, friends, the election's
over. The ever-enthusiastic cam-
paigner returns to the humdrum
life of serious scholastic en-
deavor. But first, you shall re-
ceive an "inside" report on the
Convention which nominated
George McGovern for President
from Kay Pinckney, 1st Alter-
nate, 6th District, Georgia Dele-
gation (that's me)!

The Georgia delegation
resided at the not-so-plush Hotel
Lucerne in beautiful downtown
Miami Beach. A more motley
crowd of Georgia Democrats was
never seen. State Representative
Ben Brown of Atlanta called us
"the most representative delega-
tion Georgia has ever sent to a
national Convention." We were
white and black, young and old,
rich and poor, male and female,
urban, suburban, and rural; po-
litical neophytes and seasoned
"pols." **

Intradelegation squabbles
gave Zell Miller and Charles
Kirbo, our fearless leaders, more
than one Excedrin headache
apiece. One of the biggest hassles
concerned the procedure by
which alternates would replace
delegates, and enforcement of
vime. This controversy was re-
solved to the satisfaction of all
alternates under the direction of
yours truly and others. As I
commented to State Representa-
tive Julian Bond, delegate,
"We're getting organized!" And
we really got organized. (Ask me
about it.)

As I stepped onto the conven-
tion floor on the first night of
that historic gathering, a feeling
of exhilaration really hit me for
the first time since my election
in March. The state standards,
the orchestra music, the brightly
lighted press booths of CBS,
ABC, and NBC, and the general
happy atmosphere all contrib-
uted to my mood. As the band
played the national anthem and
other appropriate songs during
the parade of U. S. and state
flags, I felt proud to be a Demo-
crat and an American.

Someone has said that the
Democratic Convention this year
"looked like the country."
Women comprised 40% of the
delegates m 1 1 > 7 2 , as compared
to 13 in 1968* Black people,

the most loyal Democrats of all,
were much stronger in number
at this convention than in previ-
ous ones. Spanish speaking
Americans were another signifi-
cant minority present. The per-
centage of delegates under 30
years of age was greater this time
around as well. Notably absent
was Richard Daley of Chicago,
Illinois, who made up his own
rules of delegate selection, ignor-
ing the reform guidelines. One of
his fallible ideas was "women
don't belong in politics."

The National Women's Polit-
ical Caucus (Democratic wing)
made itself heard at the Conven-
tion. Our slogan of the week,
coined by Betty Fried an:
"Women make policy, not
coffee." Main goals for the Cau-
cus included: acceptance of the
minority report on South Caro-
lina (a delegation challenged on
the grounds of underrepresenta-
tion of women), addition of the
"reproductive rights" plank to
the platform, and the nomina-
tion of a woman for Vice-
President. The challenge failed,
but barely. We had to come to
terms with the question of abor-
tion, although a majority of the
delegates decided that a "repro-
ductive rights" plank did not
belong in the platform.

Frances Farenthold of Texas
was nominated for Vice-
President, along with seven other
people. She received more than
400 votes - a total second only
to Thomas Eagleton of Missouri,
McGovern's and the Conven-
tion's choice for Veep. Thanks
to the generosity of a Georgia
delegate, I proudly cast a vote
for Ms. Farenthold - the only
vote she received from Georgia.

Governor George Wallace, in
an unprecedented event, was al-
lowed to present his minority
platform planks in person. He re-
ceived cheers from some for his
courage to be present despite ob-
vious physical agony, and boos
from others who can never for-
give him for his longtime racist
leadership. His platform planks
were not accepted; the views ex-
pressed therein did not fit into
the mainstream of the party.

The Democratic Platform,
1972-1976, is a masterpiece of
centrist compromises. Senator
Henry "Scoop" Jackson "could

have run" on it.

Not only was the Georgia
delegation varied demographical-
fy, but also ideologically - from
Shirley Chisholm to George Wal-
lace. Senators Jackson and
McGovern received the most
votes from Georgia delegates,
followed by Chisholm, Wallace,
and former Governor Terry San-
ford of North Carolina.

The most enjoyable part of
the week for me was getting to
know many of my brother and
sister Georgia Democrats as
people as fellow human beings

- STUDENT OPINION -

We affirm what we believe,
whether this be in a nation or an
individual. I think it is interest-
ing to note this idea in our cele-
bration of Christmas this year.
We'll hear a lot of people talking
about 'God' during this season,
but this word is dispensable un-
less there is sufficient explana-
tion in making the meaning
clear. In our lifetime we've seen
Bible reading taken out of the
public school system, and at the
present, there arc those who
would rather the meaning of
Christmas not be mentioned at
all in our schools.

Commercially, Christmas has
been 'X-mas' for some time.
How is this affecting us ? I think
it is bringing about the re-
evaluation of life, both for the
believer and the non-believer,
fhe question is brought to my
mind, "Is Christ really neces-
sary?"

about the humanistic idea.
Humanism plays on words like
'love' and 'peace', but their
center is 'man' who ultimately
goes back to atoms. Whal pur-
pose or reason is there in loving
a bunch of atoms if that is man's
worth? Take Christ out of
Christmas and there is no reason
to celebrate. Jesus came to
manifest meaning and purpose
to people. Personality does exist
and is important. Jesus Christ re-
minds us to "love our neighbor
as ourselves."

Francis Schacffcr explains

the other person's place and see
how his problems might look to

The fall quarter response to
the Gynecological Counseling
Service now offered at the in-
firmary has been quite a success,
according to Dr. Armand Hen-
dee and students who have used
the service.

Dr. Malcolm Freeman and Dr.
Hendee rotate on Monday nights
to come to the Scott campus.
They try to schedule appoint-
ments every twenty minutes,
and, so far, Monday nights have
been very busy.

Dr. Hendee says that about
50% of the girls come in for ad-
vice and the other half for GYN
problems. Appointments are
made through the offices of Dr.
Hendee and Dr. Freeman at the
Emory University Clinic.

Everything is absolutely con-
fidential, with no inquiries by
the administration. Dr. Hendee
was quick to add that the doc-
tors want students to feel free to
come in and receive advice, but
it will not be forced upon them.

The program was originally
set up for Scott girls to have a
place to go for expert counsel-
ing. Dr. Hendee is the chief of
staff of gynecology and obstet-
rics at Emory University Hospi-
tal and associate professor of
gynecology and obstetrics at the
Emory University School of
Medicine. Dr. Freeman is vice-
chairman of the Emory depart-
ment of gynecology and obstet-
rics and director of the division
of prenatal pathology at the
Emory University School of
Medicine and Grady Memorial
Hospital.

by the British Broadcasting
Corporation and presented by
Time-Life Films, was written
and narrated by Kenneth Clark.

Kenneth Clark has held so
many important positions in
British art and cultural life that
he has been called that country's
Minister of Culture. He served as
Slade Professor of Fine Art at
Oxford in the late forties and
again in the early sixties. From
1953 to 1960, he was Chairman
of the Arts Council of Great
Britain; and for three of these
years, he was also Chairman of
the Independent Television
Authority. Recently elevated to
a life peerage, Lord Clark of
Saltwood regards Civilisation as
one of his greatest and most
popular successes and refers to
the enterprise as his "auto-
biography."

Civilisation was first shown in
the United States at the National
Gallery of Art in Washington
and to guests of New York Uni-
versity and the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York.
The series was warmly received
and highly praised. Civilisation
purports to be a motion picture
history of Western man's
shaping.

Each film is filled with works
of genuis in building, sculp-
ture, painting, philosophy,
poetry and song. Western civili-
zation has been a series of re-
births, and in Civilisation, the
viewer attends and celebrates
each of those rebirths.

Thursday, January 18, the
film Romance and Reality will
be shown. This film centers on
the thirteenth century and the
emergence of woman as an ideal.
Worldly happiness, as well as
other-worldly happiness, is at its
most profound. St. Francis;
Charles V of France; the Duke
of Burgundy; Louis d'Anjou, the

commissioner of the Anjou
Tapestries; and the Duke of
Berry grace the third film of the
series.

On Thursday, January 25, the
film Man The Measure of All
Things will be shown. In this
film the great names are Botti-
celli, Masaccio, Bellini and Gior-
gione, with one Northerner of
like ideas, Van Eyck. The place
is Italy. The time is the early
fifteenth century. The discovery
is man modern man not as

RC's passed in fall quarter

by JOYCE McKEE

Changes in both election pro-
cedure and dormitory policy
were passed by REP Council and
considered by the Administra-
tive Committee.

RC 141 was passed by REP
Council and the Administrative
Committee. It states that dorms
with upperclassmen or spring-
quarter freshmen may vote on
dorm closing hours. This quar-
ter, only Main, Hopkins and the
cottages may choose their clos-
ing hour since all other dorms
house winter-quarter freshmen.
However, spring quarter, all stu-
dents may remain out past dorm
closing hours, and all dorms will
vote to choose those hours. The
Administrative Committee also
approved a change in the open-
ing of the cottages. The cottages

Congradulations x 750

Dr. Florence Dunstan, head
of the Spanish Department at
Agnes Scott, was recently elect-
ed Vice Chairman of the Board
of Trustees at Tift College. Dr.
Dunstan, a Tift graduate, is the
first woman to hold this posi-
tion. Because of her appoint-
ment to the board, she was
awarded WSB Radio's 750

Award' on December 21, 1972.

Dr. Dunstan's awards and ac-
complishments include being
listed in Who's Who in America,
being named Atlanta's Woman
of the Year in Education in
1963, and being past president
of the American Association of
University Women, Atlanta
branch.

may now open at noon instead
of 3:00 p.m.

The Administrative Commit-
tee referred to the students for
further study the RC's which
would have changed the hours of
Hopkins and given a dorm key
to each resident, in a policy like
that of the cottages.

REP Council also passed RC's
142, 143, and 144, concerning
election procedure. The Admin-
istrative Committee refused to
k pass on these changes, feeling
that they were completely in the
student realm.

A Nominating Committee
was established which will con-
sist of interested students and
one representative each from
REP Council, Honor Court,
Interdorm, Social Council, Ath-
letic Association, Christian Asso-
ciation, Arts Council, Chimo,
the Board of Student Activities,
the four classes, and day stu-
dents.

Students who wish to serve as
at-large members are asked to
contact SGA President Tinsley
Swann, Box 586, by January 26.
Membership is unlimited. The
boards will choose their repre-
sentatives, and the committee
members will be announced by
January 31. The Nominating
Committee may subdivide for
greater efficiency.
Popular nominations will be

taken in the Hub from 9:00 to
2:00 on February 7. The Nomi-
nating Committee will then meet
and, referring to popular nomi-
nations, choose a ballot. Each
student on the ballot will be
notified of the office to which
she has been nominated by Feb-
ruary 16, and she must either
scratch or accept by February
21. Students interested in an
office should indicate their de-
sire to run by notifying Tinsley
Swann by February 23. Al-
though it is not necessary, each
student is asked to explain in a
few sentences why she is seeking
that position. This is helpful
later in forming committees.

The final ballot will be posted
during exam week. There will be
no indication if a student peti-
tioned or was nominated by
popular vote or the committee.

Election speeches will be
given during convocation on
Wednesday, March 21, and elec-
tions will be held in the Hub
from 9:00 to 5:00 on March 22.
(This is the second day of spring
quarter.)

The other change in election
procedure defined the fall elec-
tion of dorm representatives.
Popular nominations will be
taken from the dorm and peti-
tions accepted by the SGA presi-
dent. The election will be held at
a time chosen by REP Council.

Remember the
Court interprets

The Equal Rights Amendment is to be voted on during the
present session of the Georgia Legislature.

The text of the amendment reads as follows:

"Section I . Equality of rights under the law shall not be x denied
or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by the
appropriate legislation, the provisions of the article. Section 3. This
amendment shall take effect two years after the date of the ratifica-
tion. "

I would like to speak out in favor of this amendment. Many
people are worried about the implications this amendment might
involve. The wording is very general many things could be implied.

However, the wording of the Bill of Rights is general. Amend-
ments are written in broad terms. And since the time of Chief Jus-
tice John Marshall, the interpretation of the Constitution has rested
in the hands of the Supreme Court. The meaning of the document
bends with the times. At one time, "separate but equal" was consti-
tutional, but it is no longer the times have changed.

I think the United States needs such an amendment. The implica-
tions, of course, are numerous. But the American people leave the
interpretation to the wisdom of the Court.

PROFILE / January 18, 1973

November 24, 1972
To the Editor:

The Committee to Nominate
the new President of Agnes
Scott College is aware of the in-
tense interest in this matter on
the campus. In order to clarify
the situation, it may be helpful
to report to the campus com-
munity on the intensive work of
this committee.

The Board authorized not
only the election of a Trustee
Committee to Nominate the
President, but also Advisory
Committees made up of three
faculty members (elected by the
faculty), three students (elected
by Student Government), and
three alumnae (elected by the
Alumnae Association).

We have met on three occa-
sions and had a very helpful ex-
perience in all three. We have
agreed upon the basic needs in
the Presidency of Agnes Scott
College. We seek a person who
has both education and experi-
ence in the liberal arts and who

Equal Rights Amendment implies.

- Student Opinion

Scotties may be holding a
diploma in one hand and a draft
card in the other after their grad-
uation exercises in the coming
years. There will be many other
radical changes for* women as
well as men if the Equal Rights
Amendment is ratified by 38
states, thus making it the 27th
amendment to our United States
Constitution. Six states have
voted against the amendment,
while twenty states have cast an
affirmative vote. Georgia must
decide during its present legisla-
tive sessions which way to cast
the die.

Although the implications of
the ERA seem to be quite in-
volved and extensive, the pro-
posed amendment itself reads
simply

"Section 1. Equality of rights
under the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on
account of sex. Section 2. The
Congress shall have the power to
enforce, by the appropriate legis-
lation, the provisions of this
article. Section 3. This amend-
ment shall take effect two years
after the date of ratification."

Both proponents and oppo-
nents of the ERA refer to the
study published by the Yale Law
Professor Thomas Emerson in
the Yale Law Journal of April
1971. Emerson's analysis of the
amendment extends over 114
pages, but some of the most
important implications can be
summarized as follows:

department, or organization need publicity for a certain event,
kindly let the PROFILE know. We will gladly print articles or

Furthermore, I would again like to encourage all members of
the campus community to write letters to the editor. The re-
sponse last quarter was very good; honestly, the more letters you
contribute, the more interesting the paper becomes. To students,
there is also available the Student Opinion column as a means of
making a voice heard. This column has been used regularly by
certain students, and I would like to see other students as well
take advantage of this opportunity, and write for the column.

can provide creative leadership
in the next decade of the life of
the college. We look for adminis-
trative and managerial skills, a
capacity for helpful relationships
with faculty and students, and,
above all, a person who can per-
sonify Agnes Scott's ideals* and
purposes.

We have written more than
one hundred and fifty College
Presidents, and other persons in
education. As of today, we have
received more than three hun-
dred suggestions for our con-
sideration.

At the present moment, we
are engaged in researching these
people and evaluating them.
Such a process is arduous and
time-consuming, but is already
beginning to bear fruit.

I sincerely hope and believe
that the participation of the
faculty and the students of
Agnes Scott College will prove
to be a most creative and con-
structive part of our process. We
value greatly the counsel of the
alumnae. I personally have had
innumerable conferences with
members of the campus com-
munity which have been helpful
to me. While there is great di-
versity of opinion, all of us can
be united in 'a desire to build
upon Agnes Scott's great history
and create an even greater col-
lege where the "excitement of
learning" will reach its highest
level. One of the meaningful ex-
periences I have shared has been

attending two Prayer Services
led by the officers of the Chris-
tian Association. We need the
prayerful support of all con-
cerned that we may have wis-
dom and insight for this task.

The Trustees who have this
responsibility have found their
relationship with Agnes Scott
College deepened through the
process of partnership with so
many from the campus com-
munity. The enormous effort re-
quired in this search will be
worth it if it results in great
leadership for Agnes Scott.

Sincerely yours,

J. Davison Philips

To the Editor:

Congratulations to those
members of the junior class who
did not let my little challenge
pass without resenting it some-
what, and replying to it. I hoped
for such a reaction; I think it
was healthy, fair, and very cour-
teously expressed. Getting rid of
generalizations is sometimes a
complex, but always a worth-
while, process. I am glad that I
pricked the junior class into it.

determination to follow through
on its goals for the year. Within
the next months, meetings shall
include discussions involving
academic problems, course
evaluations, major committee re-
structuring, and the organization
of an extensive student opinion
poll. The latter 'is presently of
foremost priority.

REP is now in the process of
organizing personal interviews
with every freshman to discover
ner evaluation of Agnes Scott.
Some of the categories involved
nclude opinions of orientation,
itudent services, academic at-
nosphere, her expectations of
Scott in comparison to the
reality of Scott, if she is plan-
ning to transfer, and if so, why.
The information gained from
this will be carefully compiled
and made public. Depending on
the success of this project with
the 'freshman class, it is hoped
that a similar opportunity can be
given every class to express its
opinions concerning the college.

These opinion polls are to
serve as springboards for a care-
ful evaluation of the subtle crisis
facing this college, and the ways
in which REP (as the student's
voice) can step in and help to
generate the needed changes.

In previous times, REP has
cautiously avoided confronting
the major issues affecting stu-
dents, partly in apathy, but
mostly due to their impression
that anything truly significant
was beyond their scope. But the
new quarter has brought new
promise of a truly effective stu-
dent representative body. Maybe
for once REP will stop rapping
and start reforming.

Snow is becoming more and
more popular in the South as the
number of Southern ski enthusi-
asts increases. Ski resorts in
Georgia, North Carolina and
Tennessee are on the upswing
and so are the skiing rates at
many resorts. However, most
resorts have student package
rates which cover rental of skis,
boots and poles, lift ticket, and a
one- or two-hour group lesson.
On weekdays Mondays
through Fridays these rates
may vary from $6.50 to $10.00
a day, which is relatively inex-
pensive.

North Carolina has the most
resorts in the South. Of her ten
ski resorts, the best known are
probably Beech Mountain, Cata-
loochee, and Sugar Mountain.
Beech and Sugar Mountains are
located near Banner Elk, North
Carolina, which is about a five-
hour drive from Atlanta. Beech

is the largest ski resort in the
Southeast, with ten slopes plus
an indoor skating rink.

However, weekend skiing is
limited to members and board-
ing guests at the resort inns.
Weekday skiing 'is open to non-
members. Sugar Mountain also
has ten slopes. The Student
Special at Sugar is $10.00, and
for those who love to ski but
can't bear to abandon their ten-
nis racquets, Sugar has three in-
door tennis courts.

Cataloochee, located in Mag-
gie Valley, North Carolina, is
about a three-and-a-half-hour
drive from Atlanta. Their Stu-
dent Special is $10.50, Mondays
through Fridays.

Sapphire Valley is another
North Carolina resort located
about three miles from Cashiers,
which is about three hours of
driving from Atlanta. The stu-
dent package rate there is $6.50
on weekdays.

Chapel program on Friday,
January 19, will consist of a
slide presentation by Susan Mor-
ton, a 1971 Agnes Scott gradu-
ate now working as a questioned
document examiner for the
Georgia crime laboratory.

Miss Morton will show slides
relating to unusual or interesting
cases to illustrate the different
types of materials that she exam-
ines. Her work involves analysis
of checks, letters, contracts, and
other documents which may be
handwritten, typed or printed;
the documents sometimes have
been altered by erasing, burning

or other means. Miss Morton is
often required to testify about
her findings in court sessions in
various parts of the state.

While at Scott, Miss Morton
majored in botany. Graduating
in March of 1 971 , she applied to
the state merit board for em-
ployment. In May, 1971, she
began a one-year apprenticeship
under the Florida state docu-
ment examiner.

Georgia's only ski resort is
Sky Valley, which was devel-
oped in 1970. Southern Living
Magazine recently published an
article on Sky Valley, stating
that last year Sky Valley's two
slopes were covered with snow a
total of thirty-five days which
made a fairly good season. Sky
Valley, situated between Clay-
ton and Dillard, is only about
two and a half hours by car from
Atlanta. Student rates are $8.50,
Mondays through Fridays

Athletic'Association will post
a sign-up sheet on its bulletin
board in the mailroom for any-
one interested in a quick take-
off to Sky Valley on short no-
tice. Skiing conditions will be
posted each week on the A. A.
bulletin board.

Transportation will depend
on interested skiers who have
cars. The driver can pick a time
which best suits her and then
contact Ann Patterson (Box

per mile and drivers are respon-
sible for taking three or four
riders whose names are on the A.

pression are your own choice. It
is expected, of course, that the
photographs do express some-
thing of academic interest. A
series of pictures on a certain
theme, topic, or locale that
would be of some concern to the
campus audience is suggested. It
could be either of documentary
or artistic interest, as an experi-
ment in the effects of double ex-
posure or filters. Any com-
mentary - prose or verse, seri-
ous or light to accompany the
series would also lend coherence*
to the pictures and will be wel-

corned.

The photos need not be
mounted, and will be kept in the
glass case to insure safety. En-
largements would be better
visually for the audience, but
any size, and even slides if a
projector or viewer is supplied,
will be accepted. To submit
photographs or for further in-
formation, contact Mr. Stewart
in the library.

Remember- this is not a con-
test, but a ctiance to share your
work and interests with the rest
of the campus.

Poets'contest

A campus competition, pres-
ently being held, will determine
which manuscripts will be en-
tered in the Southern Literary
Contest this year. Two entries in
each category may be submitted
from the college. These cate-
gories are: Poetry, Short Story,
Formal or Critical Essay, In-
formal or Personal Essay, and
One-Act Play.

A poem or a group of poems
by a single author should be no
more than 100 lines. Prose
pieces (not including the one-act
play) may be up to 5,000 words.
Further information may be
found on the English bulletin
board.

February 6 is the deadline.
Entries should be submitted to
Margret Trotter, Professor of
English (Box 990, or 310 But-
trick). The works will be judged
by English faculty and Aurora
members.

Last year Agnes Scott won a
first place in the Critical Eassy

Volunteer Atlanta is an offi-
cial United Way agency recruit-
ing volunteers for 258 social
service agencies. The volunteers
have provided the Atlanta com-
munity area with over twenty
thousand dollars of service. The
agency does not help individuals,
but will gladly refer them to an
agency that does. This is in the
case of individuals who, for ex-
ample, want Christmas baskets
for their families.

There are approximately one
hundred volunteer applicants per
month and approximately fifty
are placed. Some people would
like to volunteer, but have con-
flicts in their schedules, or trans-
portation difficulties, etc. Others
get "cold feet" about a volun-
teer job.

The main job of volunteer
Atlanta is to help other volun-
teer agencies, but the group has
started projects of its own. It has
begun a tutorial program, con-
centrated especially in the
Northwest area schools. With a
grant from the Labor Depart-

ment, Volunteer Atlanta has
helped Atlanta Work Opportuni-
ties for Women get off the
ground by providing meeting
rooms, secretarial work, and
other services, until the organiza-
tion co.uld provide these things
for itself. Volunteer Atlanta also
coordinates a Christmas giving at
that time of the season.

If anyone would like to do
volunteer work, she should con-
tact Volunteer Atlanta for an in-
terview. They will find out pre-
cisely what type of work the
volunteer would like to do, what
special interests she has, when,
where, and with what particular
group she wishes to work. The
volunteer is then referred to the
particular agency she wants and
is given an interview by that
agency.

Volunteer Atlanta does work
mainly in Fulton and DeKalb
counties, but is making efforts
to get out to Cobb, Gwinnett,
and Clayton counties as well.

The organization belongs to

the Metropolitan Atlanta Coun-
cil Coordinators of Volunteer
Services, which is a council of
representatives from various
social service agencies. It meets
to discuss ideas, problems, and
resources of interest and help to
the different groups.

One project of the group is to
try to work with local colleges in
getting the administrations to let
students do volunteer "field
work" for credit. They are also
working for a similar arrange-
ment in the public schools.

There are Volunteer Atlanta
'Help Wanted' ads. Little
vignettes can be seen on tele-
vision, showing the volunteers in
action.

If you would like to do some
volunteer work and help the
community, call Volunteer
Atlanta at 837-3095 and ask for
an application. It will be mailed
to you. Volunteer Atlanta is
helping the area's less fortunate
people and can help others to
help, too!

PERSPECTIVE

From frying chicken to plucking feathers

by KAY PINCKNEY

The fried thicken man's "ax
handle" retains its clout, evi-
dently, as anyone present in the
Georgia Senate Chambers on the
opening day of the 1973 legisla-
tive session can testify. Lester
Maddox controls the State
Senate - by a bare majority.

In the great state of Georgia,
candidates for lieutenant govern-
or and governor run for office as
individuals, not as members of a
slate or ticket. In the general
election, it is theoretically pos-
sible for a governor of one polit-
ical party and a lieutenant
governor of another to be elect-
ed. If a governor and a lieu-
tenant governor of the same
party win, they are likely to be
members of opposing factions.
In either case, conflicts between
the two state officials are proba-
ble. The second case describes
the current situation in Georgia.

Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox be-
lieves any legislation that
Governor Jimmy Carter endorses
is "bad" legislation. A few

Carter proposals, such as a state-
wide public kindergarten pro-
gram, are '"Communist-
inspired," according to Maddox.
The lieutenant governor's dis-
satisfaction with Governor
Carter knows no bounds. Carter,
on the other hand, is not exactly
a great admirer of Maddox. The
statewide struggle for power, in
its two latest rounds, gives Mad-
dox the advantage.

In August of 1972, David H.
Gambrell, the man Carter ap-
pointed to finish out the un-
expired term of the late Senator,
Richard B. Russell, lost his bid
for election in the Democratic
primary run-off to Sam Nunn,
whom Maddox endorsed. That
electorial contest, if it was truly
a test of Carter's own electoral
strength, found him weak.

Round two of. the Carter-
Maddox battle began soon after
the general election of Novem-
ber 7, 1972. At that time, a
movement, led by State Senator
Bobby Rowan (who, incidental-
ly, does not have a record f or

strict loyalty to Carter), began
to "strip" the lieutenant govern-
or of his powers to appoint
Senate committees and com-
mittee chairmen.

As provided by the Georgia
Constitution, the lieutenant
governor shall be the presiding
officer of the State Senate, has
the power to call bills up for
voting on after they are out of
committee, and acts as par-
liamentarian of the legislative
body. He succeeds the governor
in case of death or resignation.
He does not have the power to
appoint committees and com-
mittee chairmen unless the
Senate grants him that power.

Bobby Rowan's reform move-
ment almost succeeded in taking
away the lieutenant governor's
power of appointments (in years
past granted by the Senate) and
giving the power to the Senate as
a whole. The reform proposal
lost by two votes - 29 to 27 -
with all 56 senators present and
voting at their first meeting on
January 8, 1973.

The Atlanta news media and
many political observers inter-
pret the results of the Senate
fight as another Maddox victory
over Carter. However, the lead-
ers and followers of the "Strip
Lester" movement who publicly
declared their intentions in sup-
porting reform, said they were
simply trying to make the
Senate independent of any lieu-
tenant governor, present or fu-
ture, and create a system of self-
go ver n m e n t for the Senate
which would give attention to
the seniority and expertise of its
members in making committee
assignments, with committee
chairmen and members selected
by the Senate as a whole. Their
proposal also cut the number of
standing committees to eighteen
(one committee corresponding
with each department of state
government) and eliminated
interim committees.

Any interim studies would be
assigned to subcommittees of
the standing committees. Vacan-

cies on committees would be
filled with apointees named by
the president pro tempore of the
Senate, who is elected by the
entire membership.

Because of the failure of
Senate reform, the Carter legisla-
tive package for the 1973 session
may fare badly in the Senate. A
serious stalemate over the pas-
sage of legislation critical to
Geprgia's needs - mental health
programs, funds for education,
and tax reform, for example
can only hurt the people of
Georgia.

State house politicians who
use power to benefit only them-
selves and engage in constant
battles of personalities rather
than serve the public interest,
should be reminded that when
they waste the taxpayers' money
on a 45-day session of constant
infighting, Georgia's prestige, as
well as the "litC* people" who
elected the politicians to be their
representatives, suffer the con-
sequences.

COROT PAINTING IS GIVEN TO HIGH MUSEUM

Gudmund Vigtel, Director of The High Museum of Art, announces the acquisition of Un Ravin du
Morvan (Environs de Lormes), a painting by the 19th century landscape artist, Camille Corot. The work,
painted between 1840 and 1845 when Corot was at the height of his creative powers, is a gift of the
Forward Arts. Foundation for the Museum's permanent collection.

Corot was born in Paris in 1796 and lived until 1 875. His great "classic" period occurred during the
years from the late 1820's to the 1840's and was influenced by three visits to Rome, as well as his
training by neo-classical masters. The paintings from this time show, according to Director Vigtel, "the
classic clarity of composition and direct observation of light and color which were of such crucial
importance to Millet, Daubigny, and Courbet, and later to Pissarro, Monet, and Cezanne. There can be
no doubt that without Corot, the development of modern landscape and figure painting would have
been very different."

Corot kept Un Ravin du Morvan in his salon at Ville d'Avray until his death, a fact which suggests the
importance that the master attached to this canvas.

"After 1850," Vigtel continues, "Corot adopted the manner of deeply romantic, hazy, silvery land-
scapes which earned him considerable attention by his contemporaries even during his lifetime and
enormous popularity after his death. The sale, in 1 875, of the works from his studio, including Un Ravin
du Morvan, brought unprecedented prices, and many of his works eventually found their way into the
collections of museums throughout the world. Paintings from Corot's "classic" period are very scarce on
the market, and in view of the current international rage for 19th century masters, which in the last few
months has become something close to desparation, we are extremely lucky to acquire this superior
example of Corot's art for Atlanta."

Focus on Faith

by ANGELYNN McGUFF

For many students on cam-
pus, Focus on Faith week was an
enjoyable and spiritually
strengthening experience. Many
who attended expressed the con-
viction that this year's program
appealed more to the collegiate
community than past Focus on
Faith programs. The theme of
the program, "We Would See
Jesus," was more personalized
and less intellectualized than
before.

The speakers, well-known in
the area, told of their personal
experiences with Jesus. Al-
though they do not agree on
every point, they feel that they
complemented each other and
subtly acted as correctives on
each other during the week.
Randy Taylor emphasized in-
volvement in the world, based
on the clear knowledge that this
involvement has its basis in
Christ. He thinks one should ver-
bally proclaim Jesus, but that
the proclamation appears empty
if one is afraid to get his hands
dirty.

Penny Smith pointed out that
the college years are an excellent
preparation for Christian in-
volvement in later life. She says
that one must "plug in" to

Jesus' energy; then one will have
the energy for involvement.

Bob MacClellan believes that
the inner self makes spiritual pil-
grimages. When one feels con-
fident about an area in his life,
God takes it away temporarily,
cleans it up, and gives it back re-
newed.

Although a portion of the
Agnes Scott student body en-
joyed the Focus on Faith im-
mensely, it cannot be called
campus-wide, as the attendance
was maybe 20% of the students.
I think its main accomplishment
is that individual students feel
challenged to walk with Christ,
and that it emphasizes the unity
among Christian students. But
some Christian students didnot
feel motivated to attend; they
expressed the thought that more
advance publicity might solve
the problem.

A Communion service termi-
nated the week, with Dr. Alston
firmly expressing his conviction
that Jesus is a Real Person.

Focus on Faith did not ap-
peal to everyone, and therefore
was not, as one student said, a
"pie-in-the-sky" experience. But
the week does give Christian As-
sociation a chance to evaluate its
work as a whole.

Student Opinion-Equal Rights??

(continued from page 2)
name be the same as his or
her father's, or from re-
quiring that a child's last
name be the same as his or
her mother's.

(k) In ninety per cent
of the custody cases, the
mother is awarded the
custody. The ERA (Equal
Rights Amendment)
would prohibit both
statutory and common law
presumptions about which
parent was the proper
guardian based on the sex
of the parent.

(I) A court would do
away with the rule that re-
fusal to accompany or fol-
low a husband to a new
domicile amounts to deser-
tion or abandonment.

(m) A husband would
no longer have grounds for
divorce in a wife's unjusti-
fiable refusal to follow
him to a new home.

(n) In all states, hus-
bands are primarily liable
for the support of their
wives and children. . . .
The child support sections
of the criminal nonsupport
laws . . . could not be
sustained where only the
male is liable for support.
The military implications of
the ERA come as no surprise to
those who have followed much
of the debate on the amendment
at our nation's capitol:

Representative Louis Stokes:
"It is ludicrous to argue that
women are incapable of per-
forming military duty, including
duty in combat areas. . . . Their
sex should not bar them from
service or be the sole deter-
minant of the type of service
which should be required."

Representative Donald M.
Eraser: "There were . . . four-
teen or fifteen representatives of
women's groups who appeared
before the committee. ... All of
them were asked whether they
understood that a possible fu-
ture compulsory military service
law would apply to women, and
they all understood that it
would. They want it that way."

Drafting women to military
duty is not the only issue in-
volved in the military question.
Mr. J. Fred Buzhardt, General
Counsel for the Department of
Defense, wrote a letter to
Senator Bayh on February 24,
1972, discussing many of the
problems that the proposed
amendment would cause:

"Further, there is the
possibility that assigning
men and women together
in the field in direct com-
bat roles might adversely
affect the efficiency and
discipline of our forces.

On the other hand, if
women were not assigned
to duty in the field, over-
seas, or on board ships,

but were entering the
armed forces in large num-
bers, this might result in a
disproportionate number
of men serving more time
in the field and on board
the ship because of re-
duced number of positions
available for their reassign-
ment.

If this amendment al-
lowed no discrimination
on the basis of sex, even
for privacy, we believe
that the resulting sharing
of facilities and living
quarters would be con-
trary to prevailing Ameri-
can standards.

Even if segregation of
living quarters and facili-
ties were alio wed under
the am end men t, during
combat duty in the field
there are often, in effect,
no facilities at all, and
privacy for both sexes
might be impossible to
provide and enforce. "
Even though "equal rights -
equal pay" is an argument used
for the proposed amendment,
many who have studied the mat-
ter thoroughly insist that there is
already sufficient legal authority
to prevent discrimination of the
female sex, if laws already on
the books were only enforced.
Senator Sam Ervin (D.-N.C.)
voiced this opinion: "The defect
is in enforcement and not in the

lack of fair laws and - regula-
tions."

Dr. Philip B. Kuriand, of the
University of Chicago Law
School, agrees with Senator
Ervin: "I am still of the opinion
that a constitutional amendment
to afford equal rights for women
is both unnecessary and un-
desirable. I am also of the view
that a sound program of legisla-
tive reforms would do more,
especially under the mandate
now received from the Supreme
Court in Reed v. Reed, to
eliminate more of the grievances
that women have against their
roles frequently imposed on
them in our society. Legislation
can get at specific problems in a
way that no constitutional provi-
sion can."

Paul A. Freund, of Harvard's
Law School, also cites the Reed
Decision in his analysis of the
amendment: "In view of the
Reed Decision, however, I be-
lieve more strongly than ever
that the subject should be left to
be worked out under the equal
protection guarantee; that this,
together with the ample legisla-
tive powers of Congress, is the
best avenue to achieve meaning-
ful equality of the sexes under
law. This approach is greatly to
be preferred to one that would
force all the manifold legal rela-
tionships of men and women,
from coverage under selective

service to the obligation of
family support, into a mold of
mechanical unity." (Freund's
study on the ERA and its legal
implications has been endorsed
by many lawyers and legal
scholars, including Clarence
Manion, Roscoe Pound, Albert
J. Harno, Charles Warren, Doro-
thy Kenyon, Harry Shulman,
Walter Gellhorn, Glenn A.
McCleary, etc.)

The ERA cannot be ignored.
If passed, it will have a consider-
able impact on men and women
alike, an impact which Professor
Freund foresees as somewhat
earthshaking:

"The basic fallacy [of
the ERA I is that it at-
tempts to deal with com-
plicated and highly con-
crete problems arising out
of a diversity of human re-
lationships in terms of a
single and simple abstrac-
tion. . . . That the pro-
posed equal rights amend-
ment would open up an
era of regrettable conse-
quences for the legal status
of women in this country
is highly probable. That it
would open up a period of
extreme confusion in con-
st i t u t i on a I law is a
certainty. "

the agenda

by JOYCE McKEE

The Atlanta Environmental Symposium will be
held in Gaines Chapel February 1 3-1 5. The confer-
ence is the first of its kind both for Atlanta and
for Agnes Scott.

The conference is based upon the book The
Limits to Growth. The book reveals the findings of
a team of researchers that if man continues to con-
sume resources, to pollute, and to grow in num-
bers at present rates, the limits of this finite planet
will be reached. The purpose of the conference is
education: to explore with students and the
general public the effects of current standards of
living and implications for the future.

The Symposium begins at 8:15 Tuesday eve-
ning, February 13, when one of the four authors
of The Limits to Growth, Dr. Jorgan Randers, will
discuss the book. The authors constructed a world
model to examine current data and project those
patterns of growth or consumption into the
future. Dr. Randers supervised the pollution and
agriculture sections of the model.

DR. WILLIAM HARRISON: Vice President of
Southern Services.

The Wednesday sessions will begin with Dr.
William B. Harrison, Vice President of Southern
Services. Southern Services is associated with the
Southern Company, the holding company for
Georgia Power. Dr. Harrison will speak on
"Growth and the Energy Crisis." He will be fol-
lowed by a discussant, Dr. Robert B. Piatt, an
ecologist from Emory University. Dr. Piatt is a
founder of the Georgia Conservancy and is cur-
rently President of the Ecological Society of
America.

Dr. Arsen Darnay will complete the morning
session. He is Director of the Resource Recovery
Division of the Environmental Protection Agency,
the government organization to safeguard the en-
vironment. He will speak on "Resource Utiliza-
tion."

"Land Use and the Limits to Growth" is the
topic of the first afternoon session. Dr. Eugene P.
Odum, nationally known ecologist and Director of
the Institute of Ecology of the University of
Georgia, is the speaker. Mr. Tom Roberts of the
Atlanta Regional Commission is the discussant fol-
lowing Dr. Odum.

The focus ot the next discussion will be local,
as four Atlantans will, as a panel, explore "Impli-
cations for Business." Thev are: Reg Murphy,
Editor of The Atlanta Constitution) L. L. Geller-
stedt, Jr., President of Beers Construction
Company, past President of the Chamber of Com-
merce, and trustee of Agnes Scott College; Ben
Brown, a representative to the Georgia Legislature;
and Tom Cousins, a real estate developer.

Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the U. N.
Conference on Human Environment, will speak
Wednesday night. The one-time Canadian business-
man chaired the first global conference ever to
examine man's impact on the environment. The

conference was held in Stockholm last June. He
will be introduced by former Secretary of State
Dean Rusk.

The international situation will continue to be
the focus as Dr. Richard Falk examines the legal
implications Thursday morning. Dr. Falk is trom
the Princeton University Center of International
Studies and has served as a consultant to the World
Law Fund, U. S. Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency, and the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee. He is the author of This Endangered
Planet, among other books. Dr. J. L. Taulbee of
the Political Science Department of Emory Uni-
versity will be the discussant.

If man must gear his thinking to "no growth,"
adjustment problems are bound to result. Dr.
Raymond Bauer will discuss, also on Thursday
morning, the "Social-Psychological Implications of
Limits to Growth." Dr. Bauer has been a professor
at the Harvard Business School since 1960.

Following lunch, Dr. Herman Daly will speak
on "The Transition to a Steady State Economy,"
or the problems resulting from a market that no
longer increases yearly in number. Dr. Daly is an
economics professor at Louisiana State University.

The final speaker has not been announced, but
he will speak on the "National Political Implica-
tions." The speech will be followed by a panel of
those speakers remaining on campus. Ray Moore,
of WAGA television, will moderate this session.

The moderator for the entire program except
for the final panel is James A. Mackay. He is a
former congressional representative from the
Fourth District (the one in which Agnes Scott stu-
dents vote) and a practicing attorney in Decatur.
Mr. Mackay is a founder of the Georgia Con-
servancy.

the organization

by JOYCE McKEE

The Atlanta Environmental Symposium is the
brainchild of Professors Robert A. Leslie and
David W. Orr. Their interest was first aroused with
the publication of The Limits to Growth last
spring. Mr. Leslie commented, "It seemed perfect
as a study project for a college, especially a liberal
arts school, since so many fields of study repre-
sented here are important in the book."

The major problem in holding such a confer-
ence was funding. Last spring, the college agreed
to cosponsor the event and provide the physical
facilities, but could not give financial support. The
two professors spent a summer in seeking a "broad
base of support from Atlanta business." The con-
ference was planned as a time for "students,
businessmen, and a cross section of the com-
munity to talk about something of wide concern."

The Symposium first received financial support
from the Trust Company Bank and then a match-
ing sum from the First National Bank of Atlanta.
Later, contributions came from Fulton National
Bank, Decatur Federal Savings and Loan, and
Standard Federal Savings and Loan.

Certain businesses and organizations agreed to
sponsor a speaker for a particular topic. One ad-
vantage of this system is that the speaker is also
available to talk with that organization.

The Metropolitan Foundation of Atlanta, a
nonprofit organization that channels funds into
charitable or worthwhile causes, is underwriting
the visit of Dr. Jorgan Randers, co-author of The
Limits to Growth. The Citizens and Southern
National Bank of Atlanta is sponsoring the visit of
an economist, Dr. Herman Daly. The Georgia
Power Company agreed to sponsor Dr. William
Harrison.

The Coca-Cola Company decided to underwrite
a speaker and contacted Dr. Arsen Darnay of the
Environmental Protection Agency.

Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the U. N.
Conference on Human Environment, is sponsored
by the Atlanta Chapter of the United Nations As-
sociation.

The Symposium also received support from the
Georgia Conservancy and technical advice from
the Southern Council on International and Public
Affairs.

Agnes Scott College's Self-
Study Report has been com-
pleted and is available in the
library to all interested individ-
uals. This report, which began
in 1971, is an "in depth" study
on all aspects of the college.

The study, which is held
every ten years, is required for
all member institutions of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools. The report will be
used by the committee of the
Southern Association during its
visit on campus April 1-4. As of
January 18, Cecil Abemathy, of
Birmingham-Southern College,
and Chairman of the Visiting
Committee, was scheduled to
make a preliminary visit to the
college on January 27.

Four copies of the Self-Study

Historian on campus

by ANN FINCHER

Dr. John Higham, University
of Michigan historian of Ameri-
can society and thought, will
speak on "What Happened to
American Culture in the
1960's?" at Agnes Scott Thurs-
day, February 1. The lecture is
at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall, and
the public is invited, free of
charge.

Dr. Higham comes to Scott
through the United Chapters of
Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar
Program. The program was
begun in 1956 to enable under-
graduates to meet and talk with
scholars of diverse disciplines.
Under this program, Dr. Higham
will spend February 1 and 2 on
the Scott campus and will speak
to American history classes
about ethnic relations and new
interpretations of United States
history.

Dr. Higham is Chairman of
the University of Michigan
Program in American Culture, a
position he has held since 1969.
He is currently working on a
comparative study of ethnic rela-
tions in the United States and is
also writing a cultural history of
the United States from the
1840's to World War I.

During the 1971-1972 aca-
demic year, Dr. Higham was on
the faculty at Johns Hopkins
University as John Martin Vin-
cent Professor of History. Dr.
Higham has also held teaching
positions at the University of
California at Los Angeles, Rut-
gers University, and Columbia
University. In 1968 he was the
Commonwealth Fund lecturer
on American history at the Uni-
versity of London.

John Higham's interest in
historiography and the philoso-

phy of history reached its peak
in 1965 with the publication of
History, a volume in the Prince-
ton Studies on Humanistic
Scholarship in America. He sup-
plemented this work in 1970
with his publication of Writing
American History: Essays on
Modern Scholarship. His book
Strangers in the Land won the

A faculty committee, consist-
ing of Margaret Ammons (Asso-
ciate Professor of Education), W.
Joe Fierson (Professor of Chem-
istry), and Geraldine Meroney
(Associate Professor of History
and chairman of the committee),
submitted a report to Academic
Council in December. The
report, based on a study of sta-
tistics from classes over the last
terv years, proposed certain
changes in the qualifications for
graduation with honor, with
high honor, and for being on the
honor roll. The proposals were
passed by the council almost
without change.

The new quality point ratios
for a student to make the homor
roll are 2.30 for a freshman,
2.50 for a sophomore or junior,
and 2.70 for a senior. The point
ratio is the same for freshmen
and juniors; the sophomores'
and seniors' has been raised.
Formerly, a sophomore had to
earn a 2.30 and a senior a 2.50.
A disproportionate number of
students in these two classes
were making the honor roll.
These new provisions are intend-
ed to bring the honor roll quali-

important shift in the historical
analysis of immigration and of
movements to restrict immigra-
tion to the United States. Dr.
Higham has also written From
Boundlessness to Consolidation

Agnes Scott is pleased to
welcome such a distinguished
visitor to her campus.

Thoreau yourself at cabin

On January 22, RC 148, re-
garding changes in cabin policy,
was presented to REP Council.
The RC, being posted for a
week, was voted on in the next
meeting. (That meeting had not
taken place when this paper
went to press - in all likelihood,
however, the RC did pass.)

Several changes are brought
about by this RC. After the
Dean of Students' Office is
closed, a student may pick up, a
key to the cabin from a Security
Officer. Formerly, keys were

available to students only in the
Dean of Students' Office; a
group of students would have to
plan to use the cabin before that
office closed in order to obtain a
key. Of course, students still go
to the Dean of Students' Office
for the cabin key when that
office is open. They only go to
Security when the office is
closed.

The minimum number of
people using the cabin has been
changed by this RC from six to
four. Four seems an easier num-

ber to get together for a group
and yet still enough people for
security.

The cabin closes at 11:00
p.m.

Any exceptions to this
policy, such as a group of stu-
dents wanting to spend the night
in the cabin, must be submitted
in writing to the Dean of Stu-
dents at least twenty-four hours
in advance.

The RC, once passed by REP,
will be sent to the Administra-
tive Committee for approval.

fications more in line with the
situation for the different
classes.

A provision is also made for
students who enroll at the begin-
ning of winter quarter. For a
minimum of 30 credit hours, a
freshman must earn a 2.50 grade
point ratio, and a student in any
of the other classes a 2.70.

A student may graduate with
honor if she attains the follow-
ing: a cumulative grade point
ratio of 2.40, this minimum level
in the work of her last six quar-
ters in residence, eligibility for
honor roll in at least one of her
last two sessions, and the recom-
mendation of her major depart-
ment. The change in the wording
from "last two years" to "last
six quarters in residence" en-
ables accelerated students and
students who spend their junior
year abroad the opportunity to
be graduated with this recogni-
tion.

For a student to graduate
with high honor, she must
achieve the following: a cumula-
tive grade point ratio of 2.70,
this minimum level in the work
of her last six quarters in resi-
dence, eligibility for honor roll
in at least one of her last two
sessions, a minimum of six credit
hours of independent study dis-
tributed over two quarters, and
the recommendation of her
major department. Again, the
change to "last six quarters in
residence" is made so as to be
fair to accelerated students and
students who take their junior
year abroad.

The sliding scale for pass/fail
has been done away with. Pass/
fail hours count towards a stu-
dent's number of credit hours,
but they are not figured into the
quality point ratio; this ratio will
reflect the average of graded
work.

These new regulations will
take effect next year in the
1973-74 session unless a student
graduating this year could be
benefited by taking advantage of
them now.

Gambrell

cratic Party."

A question and answer period
will follow his talk. He will also
stay to eat lunch and talk with
interested students. The Agnes
Scott Young Democrats cordial-
ly invite the campus community
to meet and talk with David
Gambrell on February 8, at

Don't miss it!

/ guess it is oniy slightly obvious how excited we, on the
PROFILE staff, are about the Atlanta Environmental Symposium to
be held here February 13-15. (Hopefully, you didn't miss the an-
nouncement on page I - on all of page J.)

Not often do we devote an entire page, especially the front page,
to an up<oming event. However, not often does an event of such
magnitude occur on our campus maybe at a big university, but at
our campus? ? It's exciting! Just read over the speakers gathered
together.

By the way, page 2 contains articles on the agenda, etc., and there
is a book review of The Limits to Growth on this page. (Oh, you
didn 't miss those either. Well, I just wanted to make sure.)

I would like to urge all students to attend. I think the noses of
some six hundred odd Scotties ought to be present in Gaines on
those three days. For one thing, the topics apply directly to a/most
every major - math, science, sociology, psychology, history, politi-
cal science. Language, art, and classics majors, I'm having a little
more trouble with. But since growth is getting to be a bigger and
bigger (poor!) issue, the future should find it affecting every part of
our daily lives - drawings might contain more empty backgrounds as
a contrast to the crowded conditions - therefore, you other majors
had better come too.

Really, I think we the students owe it to ourselves to attend -
after all, we always credit ourselves with being intelligent and well-
informed, eh?

Of course, it might help if a certain lecture was required in lieu of
class for that day - hint, hint. I realize that class time is very
important, and that there never seems to be enough of it anyway.
But, on the other hand, the opportunity does not arise every day to
hear speakers of this calibre speak on these topics.

Therefore, if by hook or by crook, come rain or come shine, DO
A TTEND. See you there.

Draft -Israeli style

by JACQUELIN SMITH

During the January 18 panel
discussion covering the topic of
the Equal Rights Amendment, I
overheard several questions per-
taining to the role of the Israeli
woman in the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF), which I shall en-
deavor to answer.

Q. Are the women of Israel
required to serve in the Israel
Defense Forces?

A. Upon reaching the age of
eighteen, every Jewish girl in
Israel is required to serve in the
IDF.

Q. Are there any exceptions
to this law?

A. Women older than twenty-
six and physicians above the age
of thirty are exempted from
serving in the IDF. Married
women, mothers, and pregnant
women are likewise exempted.
Exemption is also granted to
women on the grounds of reli-
gious convictions (such as among
the Orthodox Jews). Instead,
their military duties are replaced
by national services as teachers
and nurses.

Q. How long are their terms
of service?

A. The term of service is
twenty months for each woman
serving in the Army. After their
term of national service, child-

less women are in the Reserves
until the age of thirty-four.
Commissioned and non-
commissioned officers serve
seven extra days every year.

Q. Are Jewish women the
only women eligible to serve in
the IDF?

A. No. At the declared wish
of their communities, Druze and
Circassian women are also draft-
ed for service. A few Moslem
and Christian women volunteers
serve as well.

Q. In what areas of the Army
do the women serve?

A. Women, after two to three
months of intensive basic train-
ing, serve in all three arms (land,
sea and air) of the Israeli De-
fense Forces as non-combatant
personnel. They replace the men
in various positions such as
clerical work, teaching, and
nursing, so as to help make the
men available for duty in com-
bat areas. Likewise, when enter-
ing the Army, some women are
seconded to the Police to help in
maintaining vigilance in the
three main cities of Israel (Jeru-
salem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa). As
part of the Police Force (called
the "Frontier Guard"), women
also guard the cease-fire lines
against infiltrations from the
neighboring countries, which
persist in their state of war

To the Editor:

Traditionally, winter quarter
has been the time for evaluation.
The REP Council questionnaire
and other orientation evalua-
tions are an example. These eval-
uations give us a chance to air
our gripes and make suggestions
about campus life (although
Scotties generally do not need
an excuse to state opinions).

The only trouble is that we
are content to sit and complain.
Campus life is only as good as
we make it. We all have our own
personal changes we would like
to see implemented. The more
involved we become with the
system, the more we will realize

that the multitude of channels
necessary for the implementa-
tion of new ideas is not insur-
mountable.

One personal example is the
verbalization and mobilization
of suggestions by Honor Court.
The eves of fourth Buttrick are
overflowing with activity. The
pigeons and stale air a/e being
"electrified" by the transfer of
energy from the process of ver-
balization into mobilization.
Among other projects, Honor
Court is reviewing honor systems
from other colleges and evalu-
ating (with thoughts receptive to
revision) our penalty system.

For those of us who realize

the need for more personal
interest in Agnes Scott, I would
like to propose a motto and
analogy which is very familiar to
Scotties:

Evaluation and interest
are only the basic ingredi-
ents in jello. They can
combine in many varieties,
to fit individual desires.
Any combination, how-
ever, needs action to "jell"
the ingredients and allow
these ingredients to reach
their potential.

Let's not become a bunch of
withered salads. Pick an area of
interest and become involved!

Book: The Limits to Growth

by LYNN LASSITER

The Limits to Growth is a
brief, non-technological, easy to
read book which predicts the
downfall of civilization by the
year 2100 if further growth is
not restrained. The book was
written by Donella H. Meadows,
a biophysist from the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Tech-
nology. Her husband Dennis
Meadows, a young systems
analyst, and two other MIT col-
leagues researched the book.

Skeptics, critics, and enthusi-
asts of the book have all asked
the question: How did this
group of young people come to
the conclusion that the world
will suffer a catastrophic drop in
wealth and population within

against Israel.

Q. Are the Israeli women op-
posed to their draft?

A. From the experience of
my eighteen years of living in
Israel, I have never encountered
a single woman who resented her
draft. Most of the women, just
as they accept their natural in-
crease in age every year, likewise
accept their draft as a natural se-
quence in the events of their
lives. It is a part of their lives,
embedded in them from their
earliest years. Jewish children -
boys and girls from the ages of
fourteen to eighteen - are all
part of the Gadna (Youth Corps)
organization, which is a joint
responsibility of the Ministry of
Education and Culture and the
Ministry of Defense. Training is
provided along Scout lines, and
there are also air and naval sec-
tions. "Inter-alia," pioneering
and agriculture are included, and
the youngsters learn to live their
country's security problems.

All women in all the ranks of
the Forces are imbued with the
awareness that the security of
their country and the safety of
their people depend, on their
skill, courage and devotion. How
I wish that we - American
women - could make such a
statement.

the next two generations if ex-
ponential growth is not cur-
tailed?

What the academic group did
was to utilize a computer model
of the world created by Jay W.
Forrester, a computer expert at
MIT. Into this computer they in-
serted a mathematical model of
growth trends. They were
primarily concerned with five
global variables: "accelerating
industrialization, rapid popula-
tion growth, widespread mal-
nutrition, depletion of non-
renewable resources, and a
deteriorating environment."

The basic argument of the
book is very simple. These five
variables characterize our global
society. At this time, these vari-
ables, especially population and
industry, are growing exponen-
tially which is to say, they are
growing at a constant percentage
rate. This growth is encouraged
by the values of our social struc-
ture. Unless society makes a deli-
berate and cooperative effort to
curb growth, this exponential
growth will persist.

Many components of our
physical world, however, are
finite. Although these finite
limits cannot be accurately
measured, the authors reason
that this exponential growth of
population and industry will
eventually reach the limits. Ac-
cording to the book, when these
limits are reached, there is not
just a leveling off. Drastic de-
cline actually takes place.

This argument is proven with
impressive graphs and diagrams.
The book, however, has certain
flaws which the authors them-
selves are quick to acknowledge.
In an editorial in the March
1972 Science Magazine, three
major inadequacies were pointed
out.

hirst, the book views tne
Earth as a single, closed system
without regard to regional and
country differences. The editori-
al explains that the growth and
pollution variables differ widely
from region to region, and,
therefore, it would be difficult
to come to any generalized state-
ments. The editorial also criti-
cizes tne fact mat the book

lumps together all the various
types of pollution such as solid,
liquid, and gas. In other words,
this editorial finds the book too
general in its research and con-
clusions.

Second, this critic reminds
the reader that there are limita-
tions to a computer research. In
this study, data taken from the
past was used to predict what
will happen in the future. What
the computer cannot take into
account, however, is the human
factor. Mah has already begun to
curb pollution and population
growth.

Third, this editorial does not
feel that the study has adequate-
ly allowed for the ability of ad-
vanced technology to replace de-
pleted natural resources with
other resources.

To dwell upon the flaws in
The Limits to Growth, however,
is to miss the point of the book
entirely. The authors are well
aware of the weaknesses, but
this is natural when a group at-
tempts to explain and predict
the implications of a new prob-
lem of this scope and magnitude.
What the authors hoped to ac-
complish with this publication is
set forth in the last paragraph of
the book's introduction:

"These conclusions are
so far-reaching and raise so
many questions for further
study, that we are quite
frankly overwhelmed by
the enormity of the job
that must be done. We
hope that this book will
serve to interest other
people, in many fields of
study and in many coun-
tries of the world, to raise
the space and time hori-
zons of their concerns and
to join us in understanding
and preparing for a period
of great transition the
transition from growth to
qlobal equilibrium. "
I his is essentially what the
symposium here at Agnes Scott
College is all about: the attempt
to make the academic and busi-
ness communities, along with
the general public, more aware
of the environmental problems
facing the world.

Alstons visit San Francisco

by PATTY PEARSON

Beginning Sunday, January
14, we missed the familiar face
of Dr. Alston for a week as he
was attending some important
meetings in San Francisco.

The trip to California con-
sisted of three specific meetings.
The first was a meeting in San
Francisco of the Association of
American Colleges, a large organ-
ization with which Agnes Scott
is closely associated. It meets an-
nually in cities of different sec-

PERSPECTIVE

Mission
to two

worlds

by KAY PINCKNEY

Jackie Smith, member of the
class of 1976, calls Ashkelon,
Israel, home. Her parents, Rever-
end James Smith and Mrs. Eliza-
beth F. Smith, are Baptist mis-
sionaries there. Rev. Smith is the
field representative for all Bap-
tist churches in Israel. Mrs.
Smith, an Agnes Scott alumna, is
the Israel press representative for
the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion.

Since Israeli law prevents the
establishment of churches, the
Baptist missionaries, as well as
those of other Christian denomi-
nations, are in Israel under the
guise of tourism. Several Baptist
churches and "preaching points"
thrive in Israel, however, as well
as schools, bookstores, camps,
student and publication centers,
and the Baptist Hospital in Gaza
(on the strip of land known as
the Gaza Strip, which was seized
by Israel in the 1967 war).

Rev. Smith, because of his
work with the Ministry of Tour-
ism, helped arrange James Ir-
win's "Personal Pilgrimage to the
Holy Land" which took place
during the 1 972 Christmas
season. Irwin, who also is a Bap-
tist, was accompanied by a
250-voice choir, which gave six
public performances while in
Israel. The former astronaut ap-
peared at the beginning of four
of their performances and
showed the film of his moon
walk.

Irwin was to stay in the
Smith's home at the beginning
of his visit to Israel, but was, in-
stead, detained for two days in
Jordan. Authorities finally al-
lowed him to enter Israel via the
Allendy Bridge, the only friend-
,ly crossing point between the
two countries at war. The
American Baptist Christian was
met in Jerusalem by an impor-
tant rabbi, who served as his es-
cort in the city. Guest of honor,
Irwin enjoyed a municipal recep-
tion during his stay in Nazareth.
When he arrived in Bethlehem
on Christmas Eve, he was given
the key to the city by the mayor
of Bethlehem, an Arab. Irwin
lectured to the scientists at Tel
(continued on page 6)

tions of the country and its
membership is taken from both
public and private institutions.
The meetings of this organiza-
tion lasted from Sunday, Janu-
ary 14, to Tuesday, January 16.

After this meeting, the
Alstons went to Santa Barbara
for the meeting of the Women's
College Presidents' Group. They
attended this from Wednesday
noon to Friday night, the 19th.
The meetings of this group are
very informal - the presidents
of 17 different women's colleges
and their wives gather and share
very honestly with each other
the problems, solutions, and
ideas of the various colleges.

Dr. Alston said that it was
very congenial, but that they all
worked very hard and that they
"all valued it sincerely." The 17
institutions belonging to this
organization are Agnes Scott,
Skidmore, Hollins, Mills,
Goucher, Sweetbriar, Scripps,
Randolph-Macon, Wheaton (in
Massachusetts), Mary Baldwin,
Wells, Salem, Wilson, Cedar
Crest, Elmira, Chatham, and
Beaver.

The third meeting was an off-

shoot of sorts of the second
meeting. After this meeting, the
group, at the invitation of Mills,
had a joint meeting of alumnae
in the San Francisco area. An
alumna of Agnes Scott, Edith
Hanna (Mrs. Albert C.) Holt
from Livermore, California,
helped to organize this confer-
ence of alumnae.

Sunday afternoon, the 21st,
there was a luncheon with
alumnae from all the various col-
leges listening to the address of
President Robert Wert of Mills,
"The Place of Women's Colleges
Today in American Education."
Following this address, the alum-
nae separated into conferences
with the president of their re-
spective alma maters for ap-
proximately an hour and a half.
Dr. Alston said that this meeting
proved to be "very profitable."

When asked if it was all work
and no play, Dr. Alston replied
that there were several planned
excursions through San Fran-
cisco, which were, however,
hampered by bad weather. He
smiled and said that he liked the
Georgia climate best of all !

The third Sandwich Seminar
will be held on Tuesday, Febru-

Club. Robert Leslie, Assistant
Professor of Mathematics, will
speak.

Sandwich Seminars are
sponsored by the Executive

Committee of the local chapter
of the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP).
These discussions give students
and faculty a chance to hear
about current faculty research
and writing projects.

Questions we
need to ask

"How do I know I'm doing
right? How do I know what God
wants me to do?"

Discussions and activities for
exploring the personal values in-
volved in making moral decisions
and living them out are being
sponsored every Monday night
for five weeks at 8:00 p.m. in
the McKinney Rooom, Main
Hall. The program began Janu-
ary 29, and will continue to
February 26.

Sister Kay Leuschner, campus
minister at Agnes Scott College,
is facilitating the explorations.
The format is informal. "My
purpose is not to give answers,
but to raise questions and help
the student explore and clarify
for herself her own values as re-
vealed in her actions versus her
'ideals' which remain unrealized
in numerous conditions and ex-
cuses. I would like to suggest
means of arriving at a decision
and judging it in relation to
Christian perspectives of moral-
ity."

Faculty and students are in-
vited to share their views and
questions, "for the experience or
process of exploring together in
community is an end in itself."
Personal responsibility and free-
dom, the law of Church and
State, Christ's law of love and
Spirit all are perspectives of
Christian morality to be dis-
cussed.

In day-to-day living, these
perspectives and the questions
inherent in them are usually
more specific, in terms of con-
crete decisions to be made re-
garding family, job, vocation,
studies, leisure, relationships.
"Should I take the pill?"
"Should we have another
child?" "Should I finish my
paper or listen to my room-

mate's problem?" "Should I
vote for this candidate or that
one?" "Should I continue this
relationship or not?" "What
should I do about social justice?
. . . pollution? . . . peace? . . .
women's liberation?" "What
dorm hours will I vote for and
why?" "Do I dare ask this ques-
tion in front of the whote
class?"

Then there are the occasions
when choices and decisions must
be arrived at by a group of per-
sons who have different values.
At a New York hospital this
year, a woman arrived for an
abortion and delivered instead a
living fetus. The hospital staff
had to make quickly an ago-
nizing decision about what to do
with the infant, who required a
respirator to live. This was hard-
ly a purely medical question,
and moral perspectives were in-
escapable. What are the prob-
lems of moral action within a
pluralistic society?

Each of us can recognize
similar questions and situations
in which we are making or will
be called to make a choice. We
all know the anxiety involved in
any major decision and in many
minor ones. Each basic decision
takes us somewhere in the
formation of who we are. Are
we actively involved in becoming
the kind of person we want to
become? Or do we live according
to "should's" and "ought's" of
other persons and/or institu-
tions? How do we achieve integ-
rity - that quality of believing
what we do and doing what we
believe?

And how does one's faith,
rooted in a personal relationship
with Christ, qualify our individ-
ual answers - and even the ques-
tions we ask?

(continued from page 5)
Aviv University. Mosha Dayan,
Commander in Chief of the Is-
raeli Air Force, escorted Irwin
on a tour of the Israeli air force
base.

The highlight of Irwin's stay
in Israel was a "gala perfor-
mance" held at the Pan Ameri-
can Hotel in Bat Yam, a suburb
of Tel Aviv. The Rotary Club, of
which Rev. Smith is a member,
sponsored the event. Many
government dignitaries were
present at this affair, as well as
the Smith family, all of whom
were guests of honor.

Jackie says that Irwin "spoke
simply, directly, and modestly"
on that occasion, as he told of
his religious experience on the
moon. He was the pilot of the
lunar module Falcon, which
traveled the surface of the moon
for three days. Irwin related
that, before going to the moon,
he made a covenant with his
home church members. If they
would pray for and with him
while he was on the moon, he
promised to start a new program
to spread Christianity after his
arrival home.

While on the moon, Irwin
"felt the presence of God in
answers to prayer, and through
these answers to prayer, God
helped him find the Genesis
rock, the oldest rock in the uni-
verse." Irwin now directs the
"High Flight Foundation." He
resigned from NASA and the Air
Force in July, 1972. His trip to
Israel was part of the mission of
"High Flight."

The funds (several thousand
Israeli pounds) raised at the gala
performance in Bat Yam will go
to the Baptist Hospital in Gaza,
thanks again to James Smith, the
Rotarian.

Israel, the Jewish nation
which is in a constant state of
war, received Jim Irwin, Ameri-
can Baptist Christian, as a visit-
ing dignitary. Yahweh is the
same God in English, Hebrew,
and Arabic. Just ask Jackie
Smith. She speaks all three lan-
guages.

Okay, so maybe it's not

But calendars sure are con-

this one is special.

Located on the Interfaith

includes Bible studies and even
prayer groups in the dorm. Just
write it on the calendar.

C. A. hopes that in this way
we can best promote coopera-

Christians. After all, originality
is a small sacrifice to make for

GLAMOUR'S TOP TEN

Much luck
Martha, Erin

by JAN LEE

The students of Agnes Scott are proud to have Martha Forman
Foltz and Erin Mercer Sherman to represent this college in
Glamour Magazine's search for the Top Ten College Girls in this
country. Social Council traditionally has the responsibility for
choosing Scott's representatives for the contest. Nominations
were made by the student body and then a committee of five
from Social Council chose the two students.

The college has had representatives in the Top Ten in previous
years. Those chosen for the Top Ten will win a trip to Europe (or
$1,000 cash), and a one month stay in New York City. Erin and
Martha will submit an essay on "My Goals in Life and How I Plan
to Fulfill Them. "

Martha is a senior art major from Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. She is presently co-chairing the REP Council Student
Services Committee, working on an independent study in paint-
ing, and working part time at Phipp 's Plaza in a gift shop. Some
of her experiences include chaperoning a group of high school
students on a trip out West and working with a Young Life Club
at Tucker High School; this past summer she was very active in
the Mc Govern campaign in North Carolina and Georgia.

Martha has also taught in the Winston-Salem City School
System with a Summer Art Honors Program, where she taught
the bat i que technique. On another occasion, Martha helped in a
self-reliance program in which the arts were taken to under-
privileged children via an "art mob He. " She also worked in a pre-
school program teaching four-year-olds some art basics.

In response to the question of what her purpose in life is,
Martha said her goals were based on those things which are most
important to her her personal religious beliefs. She may want
to continue in the poverty program, taking cultural activities to
the low-income areas, but as for next year, she plans to work
before continuing her studies in graduate school.

Erin is a senior art major from Valdosta, Georgia. This year her
activities have included serving on Dorm Council, writing for the
PROFILE, and playing the lead role of Mrs. Antrobus in the fall
Black friars production of The Skin of Our Teeth. She has been
active in Christian Association, with responsibilities such as pub-
licity chairman for 1970, in charge of dramatics production in
1972, and leading a discussion for Focus on Faith this year. Her
community activities include volunteer work for the Salvation
Army Girl's Lodge. Erin has received recognition of her art work
on many occasions.

In answer to the question as to her goal in life, Erin said: "My
goaf in life is to confront my generation with the person of Jesus
Christ and expose and oppose that which is of Satan wherever I
go. I see my generation in a deep struggle between the forces of
darkness and those of light and I feel compelled to wake up those
around me. I've gotten involved in surveying the freshman class
along with about ten other Christians, asking such questions as
'What is your concept of God, etc., ' and sharing something of
how a person can know Christ.

"I appreciate the freedoms that Americans enjoy in this coun-
try to be able to share their faith and I want to help preserve
this freedom. I oppose collectivism in government and hate to see
our Constitutional Republic abused.

"My basic strategy for attaining my goals in life centers on
talking with people on a one-to-one basis and utilizing the
creative arts for personal expression. Many of my paintings center
on Biblical themes and someday I hope to get involved in or
organize a theater group that seeks to speak out for truth in all
issues.

"Having recently appeared on a WRNG radio program con-
cerning the ERA, I find that people are hungry for responsible
direction. I'm encouraged about finding my place in the world of
mass media. I believe God loves me and has a wonderful plan for
my life, and I look forward to what He unfolds!"

lip lib Streisandbox

by NANCY VICK
PROFILE Movie Editor

Up the Sandbox is Bar bra
Streisand's new movie, but it is
atypical of Barbra Streisand. She
does not play a charming prosti-
tute, a kooky vagabond, or a
glamourous star, but, of all
things, a New York housewife.

Margaret is an ordinary, run-
of-the-mill wife and mother,
burdened by two noisy children,
a dominating husband (David.
Selby), a nosey mother, and vari-
ous other domestic liabilities.

But Margaret is unique in that
she is completely fulfilled and
satisfied in her role. Upon being
bombarded with women's lib
from all directions, Margaret re-
assesses her status through a
series of rather bizarre fantasies
which take her from the Statue
of Liberty to the wilds of deep-
est Africa. Each fantasy is con-
cerned with some aspect of her-
self as liberated from her daily
responsibilities. When all is said

Smoke this in
your cobb pipe

and done, her legitimate life tri-
umphs.

In man\ part^ of Up the
Sandbox it is not unusual to
ponder the relevance of those
parts to the movie. Sometimes
one even wonders about the
point of the entire film.

Up the Sandbox is not an ex-
ceptional movie, either tech-
nically or content-wise. What
saves it from oblivion is the ex-
ceptional Barbra Streisand. Sen-
suous and fascinating, 'she has
the charm and dramatic flair
which make the film delightful
in most parts, and worthwhile as
a whole.

Women's lib is close to all of
us. Within Up the Sandbox,
there are scenes with which
everyone can identify. Margaret
opposes the whole idea of libera-
tion, and in doing so finds more
challenges in her role as wife and
mother. Whether or not you
agree, it is a point worthy of
consideration.

When the Cobb County
Youth Museum Guild presents
the Fourth Annual Evening of
Folk Music on February 9,
1973, the audience will have
more than one reason to be glad
they attended. Not only will
they see young and enthusiastic
and talented musicians, but they
will also have contributed to the
educational growth of the chil-
dren in this area.

The performance will be at
8:00 p.m., at the gymnasium of
Southern Technical Institute in
Marietta, Georgia. This is located
on Clay Street, one block west
of Highway 41. Tickets for this
fund raising event are $2.50 (in
advance) for adults and $1.50
for children under twelve.
(Tickets will be .50 more at the
door.) Tickets are available at
Ken Stanton Music and at the
SGA office at Southern Tech.
Additional information may be
obtained by calling the Cobb
County Youth Museum -
427-2563.

Guest artists will be:

Linda Harrell now
a regular performer in Un-
derground Atlanta. She is
familiar to many colleges
in this area and will sing
contemporary folk and ac-
company herself on guitar.

Al Strickland - an
accomplished musician on
many instruments. He will
perform a history of blues
on harmonica, and will be
accompanied by the
Etowah R iver Blues
Ensemble.

Wieatridge will be
featured. This group is
comprised of four young
musicians who are equally
at home with folk, coun-
try, rock, and a blend of
all three. They have per-

formed in Underground
Atlanta, in Canada, and at
several ski lodges in
Colorado.

This should be an evening's
entertainment which will appeal
to many different musical tastes.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Search

by CHRISTINE WILSON

Dr. J. Davidson Philips, Chair-
man of the Presidential Nomi-
nating Committee, says that the
committee is at present evalu-
ating 300 people to find out
whom they feel is the 'best
person' to be the next president
of Agnes Scott. He says that
most of these people are educa-
tors; however, there are business-
men, lawyers and other pro-
fessional people represented in
the group. Dr. Philips empha-
sized the need for strict confi-
dence in the committee's search
for president. Thus, he feels he is
not in a position to discuss any
details about the nominees.

The committee hopes to
reach a decision "in a couple of
months." Before it makes a de-
cision, though, the top four or
five men will meet the campus
community, so that the commit-
tee may 'sell' the nominees to
Agnes Scott.

Portman spoke Feb. 7

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol-
lowing article not only recounts
what Portman said, but also tries
to show how his work reflects
his ideas.)

On Wednesday, February 7,
John C. Portman spoke at con-
1 vocation. Portman, Atlanta
architect and graduate of Geor-
gia Tech, is fast becoming an
international citizen because of
his outstanding work in the area
of architecture especially
urban architecture.

Portman presented in what he
termed an "hors d'oeuvre" man-
ner several of his thoughts and
philosophies.

He began by emphasizing the
importance of free enterprise in
the solving of social problems.
He is presently working on a
project funded by Ford and

some thirty other corportaions
in Detroit, Michigan, a city
notorious for its ugliness.

Portman views a city as an
'entity.' This idea can be found
in his work. Peachtree Center is
an example of a 'core-
coordinated unit.' The design of
each building in the unit is dif-
ferent, but the architecture of
the group of buildings blends
together in an artistic whole.

Portman emphasized that
urban problems will not be
solved by running away from the
cities into the suburbs. The city
and its problems will still re-
main. The city can be a beautiful
place in which to live. Again,
this idea is relfected in his work.
Artistic detail is incorporated
into the overall design - varied
colors, flowers and plants, run-
ning water, art work, and space.

The common denominator is
people, as Portman stated in his
talk. In the August 1970 issue of
Atlanta, Portman says of his
famous Regency Hyatt House:
"But the greatest reward that
has come to me from the Regen-
cy has been that people from all
walks of life love it. It's exhila-
rating. That's what architecture
should do; it should lift people;
it should make them feel good;
it should make them want to be
around and not leave the area."
This hotel, with its 22-story-high
lobby which is reminiscent of St.
Peter's Basilica, its Paris side-
walk cafes, and its tropical birds
in cages and green plants re-
sembling the Tivoli Gardens in
Copenhagen, certainly manifests
Portman's genius for creating
places - places in the middle of
a city - that people enjoy.

his M. A. in 1955 and his doctor-
ate in 1957.

Also in 1957, he was called to
active duty in the Air Force and
spent three years as a First Lieu-
tenant assigned to the English
faculty at the Air Force
Academy in Colorado. Dr. Kelly
now holds the rank of Lieu-
tenant Colonel in the Air Force
Reserve.

He returned to VMI from
1960 to 1962 as Assistant Pro-
fessor of English. In 1962, he^
was appointed Assistant Profes-
sor of American Thought and
Language at Michigan State Uni-
versity and taught there full-time
until 1964. Dr. Kelly was then
awarded the Ellis L. Phillips In-
ternship in Academic Adminis-
tration, and during the years
1964-1965 he was at Rutgers,
the State University of New
Jersey, working mainly in the of-
fice of Provost. He returned to
Michigan State University for
two years as Assistant Director
of the Honors College, and was
Director until January of 1968,
at which time he resigned to be- '
come president of Mary Bald-
win.

He was elected to Phi Beta
Kappa and Omicron Delta
Kappa, and has served as a mem-
ber of the National Reading
Committee for Danforth Gradu-
ate Fellowships, the Society for
Religion in Higher Education,
the American Studies Associa-
tion, the American Association
of University Professors, the
American Association for Higher
Education, and the National Col-
legiate Honors Council. He was
also the coordinator of The
Campus Governance Program,
sponsored by the American As-
sociation for Higher Education.

Dr. Kelly is married to the
former Lura Jane Kelly, the
daughter of Mrs. Robert E. Kelly
and the late Doctor Kelly, of
Oak Hill, West Virginia. She is a
graduate of St. Catherine's in
Richmond, and Hollins College.
She and Dr. Kelly have four
sons: William Watkins, Jr.,
Robert Jackson, Blair Massey,
and Gregory Clark.

The self-study report

Become more than
mild acquaintances

Boarding student meet day student. Day student meet boarding
student. I think you need to be introduced.

The interaction between these two types of students at Scott is
not great. Granted you know the people in your classes, but who are
your friends? In general, boarding students seem to have boarding
students as friends, day students have day students as friends. Not
too many opportunities exist for the two to become friends. A
shame, really. Day students would be drawn closer into campus
activities if they had more boarding students as friends.

A possible solution

Many students get acquainted at meals - you sit down with one
of your friends who introduces you to one of her friends who is also
sitting at the table. The books are pushed aside, and people relax and
chat over cups of coffee.

What if the school offered a plan whereby a day student could
pay a certain reasonable sum at the beginning of a quarter, and then
eat lunches in the dining hall every weekday? Or perhaps she could
have two or three lunches a week for a smaller sum. The friendships
begun in the classroom could be continued in the dining hall.

The student on such a plan could be issued a card which would be
punched each time she ate in the dining hall. Or why not rely on the
honor system? A student on a certain lunch plan would be on her
honor not to eat any more lunches in the dining hall than the plan
allowed, unless she paid for them individually. The honor system
administration could work very well.

I believe the day students and boarding students need to get
together more. The dining hall seems a good place.

Booked for abuse
of reserve books

The urge to hamstring the so-and-so who took out the reserve
book you need so desperately in the middle of the day is enough to
make you wish everybody obeyed the rules, at least during your own
emergencies. Meanwhile, the book circulates among the other
twenty or more people in your class. The time to regret procrastina-
tion is past; the book should still be available in its proper place.
Then at least you 'd know where to stand in line for it.

Time grows short, but you've traced the elusive tome to someone
who, although she could return it, hands it on to the next victim of
panic. And so it goes. By now, you are disgusted with the whole
thing, and have no idea if you 'II even get the book in time.

Such frustrating experiences shouldn 't happen, but do. What's the
point of having books on reserve if they are treated like contraband
from the stacks? The whole idea is to have certain books needed by
large numbers of students available during library hours every day.

As everyone knows, the only legal way to keep a book is to check
it out from the stacks. If you've just got to take possession of a
reseri'e book, you can check it out at night.

So, do us all a tavor. Remember, the trauma you save may be
your own.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is the first of a
two-part series on the Self -Study Report recently
made available to the campus community.)

by JOYCE McKEE

The Agnes Scott Self-Study, undertaken for the
Southern Association and for ourselves, is an at-
tempt to define Agnes Scott's current situation
and to make projections for the future and sug-
gestions for change.

The first chapter deals with the "many at-
tempts to state Agnes Scott's mission." The four
emphases of "high intellectual attainment, Chris-
tian commitment, physical well-being," and "the
enrichment of one's social nature" as stated in the
student handbook are derived from a 1925 version
by President James Ross McCain. The changing
statements of purpose indicate a reaffirmation of
Judeo-Christian values with a growing freedom for
personal belief. An earlier statement of purpose by
the first president, Dr. Frank H. Gaines, included
the desire for "a sound curriculum, with textbooks
along all lines in harmony with the Bible," and for
Scott to be "a model Christian home."

The projections for the future reflect both
faculty and student opinion. For example, in ac-
cordance with 63% of the student body and 44%
of the faculty, Scott plans to remain a women's
college. Students and faculty both want "to guard
closely Agnes Scott's standards of academic excel-
lence," but split over the question of more pro-
fessional and career-oriented courses. Seventy-five
percent of the faculty want no more such courses,
but 71 % of the students do.

Extensive plans for the reorganization of the
administration are presented in Chapter II. To re-
lieve the burden of details currently shouldered by
the Office of the President, four offices were
recommended to be directly responsible to him.

They are: the academic dean, the director of stu-
dents' affairs, the director of finance and business
management, and the director of public relations
and development. The Self-Study Committee feels
that this organization will prevent overlap and
place responsibility in the. proper department.

This chapter also indicates the frankness of the
Self-Study. It is clearly recognized by both the
Office of the Dean of Students and the Self-Study
Committee that the Dean's office is failing in its
non-academic counseling role. "Only 20% of the
students seek non-academic counseling from this
office, despite the fact that this is a principal
responsibility." The committee makes no specific
proposals to correct the situation, recommending
only "that steps be taken to make the services of
the Dean of Students' Office readily accessible."

The third chapter deals with the educational
program and contains many concrete figures, as
evidenced by the eleven tables. Course offerings,
the majors, and academic regulations are discussed.
One study, based on the freshman class of 1966,
does not reveal a high correlation between fresh-
man grade point averages and SAT scores and high
school rank.

The study concludes that "emphasis should be
placed on the personality and motivational factors
of the student which contribute to successful col-
lege performance, and that certainly as much em-
phasis should be placed on these factors as on
ranks and scores at the time the student is select-
ed."

Hopefully, the college can recruit and attract
both high ranking and highly motivated students.
However, only 412 applications were received in
1971-72, and 424 in 1970-71. Of the 300-odd stu-
dents that were accepted, only slightly over 50%
chose to attend Scott. Clearly, this situation needs
to be and hopefully will be improved.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This let-
ter is in response to a letter
which appeared in the first
PROFILE this year. The articles
referred to were printed in the
paper last spring quarter.)

To the Editor:

It is regrettable that Assistant
Professors of English Siegchrist
and Schulz have not seen my
editorials as editorials; they cer-
tainly are not written or intend-
ed as news. The 'Student
Opinion' subheading effectively
solves the problem.

Of course, the professors'
critique of specific points in my
article of May 25, 1972, is
another issue entirely. The gist
of their argument seems to be
that I am zealous and dogmatic
to call the Trotskyites zealous
and dogmatic; it is supposedly
"irresponsible" of me to use
such terms when, referring to the
Trotskyite Socialist Workers
Party.

To determine whether or not
the origins of Trotskyism are un-
desirable, we turn to the writings
of the movement's Communist
founder, Leon Trotsky, who was
assassinated in Mexico by
Stalin's henchmen. In The De-
fense of Terrorism, Trotsky
writes a whole chapter on the
necessity of "The Dictatorship
of the Proletariat." He says:
"The struggle must be
carried on with such in-
tensity as actually to
guarantee the supremacy

of the Communist prole-
tariat. If the Socialist
revolution requires a dicta-
torship . . . [the sole form
in which the proletariat
can achieve control of the
state] ... it follows that
the dictatorship must be
guaranteed at all cost. "
In other words, Trotsky tells us
quite plainly that dictatorship is
necessary for the revolution's
success; he is not willing to have
things any other way.

How does Trotsky intend to
achieve his dictatorship? He
thinks the issue should be de-
cided, in his words, "not by
references to the paragraphs of
the constitution, but by the em-
ployment of all forms of vio-
lence"; and that his wanted
revolution "kills individuals and
intimidates thousands." Mr.
Trotsky does not regard violence
as a necessary evil or even as a
sadistic pleasure; he regards it as
the religious sacrament of the
revolution. Because it holds the
position of a sacrament, he
cherishes it.

But who will be the target of
his violence? As he tells us, "The
bourgeoisie, hurled from power,
must be forced to obey." So, the
bourgeoisie are his target. And
who are the bourgeoisie? Not
just the dirty capitalists, as one
might think, but practically
everybody - at least everybody
who does not agree with Trot-
sky. He makes a special point to
include even the tempor^v allies

of Trotskyism within the ranks
of those who will "be forced to
obey." He says:

"A truly revolutionary
[i.e., a Communist] wing
must set itself up in op-
position, in face of the
masses, to all the indeci-
sive, half-hearted groups of
doctrinaires, advocates,
and panegyrists of pas-
sivity .... The moment of
formal split with the open
and disguised Kautskians,
or the mo/nent of their ex-
pulsion from the ranks of
the working class party, is,
of course, to be deter-
mined by considerations
of usefulness from the
point of view of circum-
stances; but all the policy
of real Communists must
turn in that direction. "
Let us translate. Trotsky re-
fers to the "Kautskians," who
believe in the revolution without
violence - who are comparable
to non-violent socialists today.
He wants to eliminate such
people, just as he wants to
eliminate everyone to the polit-
ical right of the Kautskians. But
he does not overlook "consider-
ations of usefulness." He will ex-
ploit these temporary allies as
long as they are useful.

One point seems obvious:
Trotskyites who know what
they are doing agree with Trot-
sky. Therefore, the Socialist
Workers Party, which is the offi-

Sophomore Parents' Weekend
1973 took place on Friday and
Saturday, February 9 and 10.

W. Edward McNair, Associate
Professor of English, had been
chosen by the sophomore class
to speak at chapel on Friday
morning.

Male faculty members hosted
sophomore fathers at a coffee
held Friday afternoon. Sopho-
mores challenged freshmen to a
basketball game. Other events
were tours of Dana Fine Arts
Building, where student art was
on exhibit; a psychology lab
demonstration by Thomas W.
Hogan; a program led by Paul L.
Garber and centered around the
Howland-Garber model recon-
struction of Solomon's temple;
and an open house in the Brad-
ley Observatory, conducted by
George H. Folsom, III.

In the evening, sophomores
and their parents were invited to
the creative arts production
"Medley," to the Dolphin Club
show "Jungle Book," and to a
party in the Hub.

Some classes with large
sophomore enrollments met on
Saturday morning so that
parents could visit them. Presi-
dent Wallace M. Alston spoke at
a special chapel program. A
luncheon held Saturday after-
noon honored sophomores and
their parents. President and Mrs.
Alston received them at a
dessert-coffee following the
luncheon.

Sophomore class officers

Robbie Goodall, president;
Howell Hampton, vice-president;
Beth Fite, secretary; and Lisa,

Slowly but surely a career arises

by KAY PINCKNEY

October, 1968. I study the
Vietnam War, apartheid in South
Africa, the United Nations; hear
lectures on UNICEF, Sino-Soviet
relations, the Soviet invasion of
Czechoslovakia, a day in the life
of a British embassy, Poland's
economic system; visit the em-
bassies of Kuwait, West
Germany, and the U.S.S.R., and
a Humphrey-for-President head-
quarters in Harlem - all in one
week on a U.N. Seminar to New
York and Washington, sponsored
by vthe United Methodist
Church. I campaign informally
for Humphiey and Maynard
Jackson (for U. S. Senate), as
well as a candidate for county
school superintendent, before
the November elections.

September, J 969. I begin my
college career and my study of
Spanish.

Winter quarter, 1970 Agnes
Scott. I write a term paper on
apartheid.

Summer and fall, 1970. I

work actively in Jimmy Carter's
campaign for Governor of Geor-
gia.

Spring, 1971. I choose
Political Science as my major.
Spanish is also a favorite subject.

Summer, 1971. I spend nine
weeks in Mexico under the
auspices of the Experiment in
International Living (El L), gain-
ing a cross-cultural, person-to-
person 'education of the heart'
and mind.

Fa II and winter quarters,
1971-72. I prepare research
papers about Brazil, and write an
essay on the need for human
liberation.

March, 1972. I am elected as
an alternate delegate to the
Democratic National Conven-
tion, and begin to explore career
possibilities other than teaching
- perhaps law or the ministry.

Summer and fall, 1972.
Besides attending the Conven-
tion, I campaign extensively for
Democratic candidates
especially David Gambrell and

Andrew Young.

January, 1973. I go so far as
to request applications to three
law schools, but cannot quite
visualize future possibilities after
graduation from law school;
also, my personal finances are
Ijmjted.

January 27, 1973. I attend an
Atlanta meeting of EIL volun-
teers and learn that the educa-
tion arm of EIL - the School
for International Training, lo-
cated in Brattleboro, Vermont -
offers a program leading to the
degree of Master of International
Administration. This is a one-
year program, and liberal finan-
cial aid is available for students
in need.

Fundamental elements of
international career training are
personal involvement, the study
of management and administra-
tion, field study and research,
community development pro-
jects, language training and

On February 25, at 8:15
p.m., Le Treateau de Paris will

since this year is the 300th anni-
versary of Moliere's death, his
M Le Medicin Malgre lui" is the
chosen play.

According to publicity
provided by L'Alliance Franchise
d'Atlanta, this piece, originally
produced in 1666, had laughter
as its objective: Farce reigned.
Deception, a characteristic of
Moliere's works, appears as im-
personation. There, imposters
carry out the theme, pretending
to be doctor, apothecary, and
mute.

The 'doctor' or first imposter,
is the central figure of the play.
He serves as an object of ridi-
cule, allowing the French to
laugh at what is to them one of
the funniest professions - the
medical one.

Tickets for this farce of
quacks and quarrels may be ob-
tained from L'Alliance Franchise

for students is $3.00; others,
$4.50.

country whose language is

EIL has worked for more
than forty years to increase
international friendship, under-
standing and cooperation; "it
has introduced nearly 50,000
people to the idea of learning as
the synthesis of effective experi-
ence rather than as academic
abstraction."

My experiences over the past
four years have culminated, at

Class discussions, like old
newspapers, are either very use-

papers are better if you have a
canary. Have you ever waded

to the general confusion for
which you are paying a healthy

A honeymoon is that period
of time following the wedding
during which the newlyweds
supposedly become happily
intimate with each other in a
romantic atmosphere free of
complications. But this is not
necessariiy true. One of the
alternatives is the subject for
Neil Simon's new comedy, The
Heartbreak Kid.

Lenny and Lila, an attractive
Kosher couple, are united in
holy matrimony and begin the
trip to Miami Beach. As time
elapses, Lila begins to expose to

her husband certain idiosyn-
crasies which start to convince
him that someone has made a
mistake. Among her most
notable habits are her less- than
perfect table manners and a
certain peculiar craving for
Milky Ways at very inopportune
times.

Somehow it is still surprising
that before the marriage is four
days old, Lenny has fallen in
love with and proposed to a
seductive W.A.S.P. female whom
he met on the beach. It turns
out that Kelly (Cybil Shepherd)

(LETTERS cont. from page 2 )

Trotskyite party in the Emory psychology professor,

Bonnie Strickland, in this con-

cial

United States, seeks to imple-
ment Trotsky's plans; it matters
not that Trotsky himself is dead.
Even to the left of the regular
Communist party, the Socialist
Workers Party wants revolution,
violence, dictatorship, and the
submission or extermination of
the non-Trotskyites. Frankly, I
do not feel the least bit irrespon-
sible in labeling these beliefs
'unsavory' and 'misdirected.'
Such labels should be used
discreetly; but we have reached a
sad condition if we cannot call
avowed Communists, who plan
to exterminate people, by such
terms as 'zealous' and 'dog-
matic.'

Mr. Siegchrist and Miss
Schulz dislike my mentioning an

text. She was the main speaker
at a Socialist Workers Party
meeting, according to a SWP
flyer. We can draw an analogy:
If a conservative were the main
speaker at a Ku Klux Klan meet-
ing, would not this action have,
as the professors say, "negative
implications about her personal
political views"? It would and
should - and Miss Strickland's
position is quite similar. She
probably meant well; but her
status as an Emory psychology
professor does not exempt her
from moral responsibility for
lending her name and prestige to
one of the most virulently
revolutionary parties in the
United States.

DR. MICKISH TO GIVE LECTURt

"ENCOURAGING CHILDREN'S CREATIVITY THROUGH
THE MAGICAL *Y' " is the title of a lecture on children's art educa-
tion to be given by Dr. Verle Mickish, Associate Professor of
Curriculum-Instruction and Art Education at Georgia Stai Univer-
sity. The lecture, to be given on Tuesday morning, February 20, at
10:30, in the Hill Auditorium of The High Museum, h sporwed by
the Junior Committee and is free and open to the pub.ic.

has a home in Minnesota, a very
possessive father, and a great
deal of money. Lenny's deter-
mination eventually wins out
against impossible odds, emerg-
ing the victor of circumstances.
The audience is left with an in-
decisive ending and an un-
mistakable feeling of deja vu.

The Heartbreak Kid has been
acclaimed by many as the 'Best
Comedy of the Year.' I have my *
doubts as to the comedy classifi-
cation - it could more appropri-
ately be labeled as a 'Black
Comedy.' Although the basic
idea is funny, there are certain
unavoidable dramatic obstacles,
such as the enlightening of the
innocent wife to the heartbreak-
ing situation. Her fate is less
than humorous. Sometimes you
feel sadistically guilty in laugh-
ing; but you do it anyway.

All of the characters are far
from normal. Charles Grodin
plays Lenny well - as a young
man quite full of clever surprises
one minute and laughable stu-
pidity the next. Jeannie Berlin
(Lila) is the most exceptional of
the cast, which perhaps can be
attributed partly to the fact that
her mother, Elaine May, is the
director. Lila is so obnoxious
that one cannot help but side
with Lenny. Cybil Shepherd
(Kelly) uses more body language
than vocalization - her part is a
rather silent one. Eddie Albert,
Kelly's father, uses delightful
facial expressions as his means of
communication.

The Heartbreak Kid is diffi-
cult to evaluate. It is too funny
for a drama, too serious for a
comedy, and too incomplete for
an excellent film. But it is not
mediocre, and that in itself
makes it worth standing in line.

Rep Council passes pieces of legislation

TERMS OF OFFICE

On Tuesday, February 20,
REP Council passed unanimous-
ly RC 150, a resolution regard-
ing changes in the terms of of-
fice of Dormitory and Inter-
dormitory Council Members.

This RC establishes a fall
quarter to spring quarter term of
office for Dormitory Council
members, Interdorm officers,
and Interdorm judicial members.
Formerly, these v terms of office
went from the spring quarter of
one year through the winter
quarter of the next year, as do
all other terms for elected of-
fices.

This RC avoids the problem
of having dprm members not
living in the dorm which they
serve during the first spring quar-
ter. Also, it should provide a
system in which the- continuity
in judicial cases can be main-
tained throughout an entire
year.

The people will be elected to
these offices in the regular spring
election; they will not begin to
serve, however, until the next
fall. The elected Chairman and
Vice-Chairman of Interdormi-
tory Council are to serve as ad-
visory members to Interdorm
throughout the spring quarter.

Faye Allen and Beth Winfrey,
the current Chairman and Vice-
Chairman of Interdorm, will
hold their offices this year
throughout the spring quarter in
order to accomplish the transi-
tion to the new system.

Spelled out in
black & white

Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, presi-
dent of the Atlanta Board of
Education, spoke on the current
status of United States race rela-
tions in a talk February 28, at
1 1 :30 a.m. in Presser Hall.

Serving his fourth 12-month
term as president of the Atlanta
Board of Education, Mays was
first elected to the board in
1969. Immediately prior to his
election, he served as a con-
sultant to the HEW Office of
Education, Washington, D. C.
For 27 years (until 1967) he was
president of Morehouse College,
and for six years before that was
dean of the School of Religion

Philosopher visited
the area

Dr. William H. Dray, distin-
guished Canadian philosopher,
spoke at several Georgia schools,
February 22-24. Dr. Dray came
to Georgia as a guest of the Uni-
versity Center in Georgia and of
the Georgia Philosophical Soci-
ety.

Dr. Dray has won recognition
for his writings about the con-
cepts of history. He spoke at the
University of Georgia, February
22 in the Law Auditorium, at
8:00 p.m., on "History as Re-
enactment of Past Experience:
Collingwood's Central Case,"
and at Emory University, Febru-
ary 23, on the same topic.

He spoke in the conference
room, University Center, Ogle-
thorpe University, February 24,
on "History as Re-enactment of
Past Experience: the Scope of
Collingwood's Theory."

Professor Dray was born and

educated in Montreal, Quebec,
and studied history at the Uni-
versity of Toronto. He worked
at Ball iol College, Oxford, in
philosophy, politics and eco-
nomics, and received three
degrees from Oxford.

He is chairman of the depart-
ment of philosophy in Trent
University, Peterborough, On-
tario, and has been visiting pro-
fessor at several American
schools, including Harvard and
Stanford. He is the author of
Philosophy of History, which
has been translated into several
languages, and of Philosophical
Analysis and History.

The topic of his lectures is R.
G. Collingwood, on whose
philosophy of history Dr. Dray
is publishing his next book.

At one time Dr. Dray's
parents lived in Atlanta.

at Howard University, Washing-
ton, D. C.

The author of numerous
articles and book chapters on
race relations, religion and
education, Mays has recently
published his autobiography,
Born to Rebel, which is also a
social study of black-white rela-
tions.

Dr. Mays has served as an ad-
visor to or on committees of
organizations including the
United Nations, the Peace Corps
and the World Council of
Churches. He is presently vice
president of the World Student
Service Fund, co-chairman of
the Citizens Crusade Against
Poverty, and a contributing
editor of the Journal of Negro
Education.

The recipient of over 30
honorary doctorates, Dr. Mays
has been honored with the Black
Educational Services Award of
Achievement, the National Free-
dom Day Award, the National
Newspapers Publishers Russ-
wurm Award, and the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews Religious Leaders Award.

A member of Phi Beta Kappa
honor society, Dr. Mays received
his M.A. and Ph.D. from the
University of Chicago.

Two resolutions, RC 151 and
RC I 52, regarding Hopkins
dormitory, were passed by REP
Council on FebrL?.ry 20.

Because Hopkins is a small
dorm housing only upperclass-
men, the new policies, similar to
those for a cottage, have been
established to meet the individu-
al needs of this dorm. With the
decentralization of the Dean of
Students' Office a few years ago,
individual dorms were given
autonomy in order that the cir-
cumstances of the individual
dorms could be handled more
efficiently.

RC 151 sets up a new policy
for this dorm. Hopkins lobby
will have a hostess on duty from
7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily.
Students on scholarship or the
senior resident will receive the
guests into Hopkins lobby
during these hours every week-
day. On Friday and Saturday
nights, students living in the
dorm will rotate the hostess
duty.

arriving at times other than
7:00-8:30 p.m. must call the
dorm floor from another build-
ing, such as the Hub, or they
must make other arrangements
for meeting a student.

Male guests may be invited
into the lobby after 3:00 p.m.
daily, until campus building
closing hours (12 midnight Sun-
day through Thursday, 2:00
a.m. Friday and Saturday).
These visitors may, however,
only be admitted to the lobby
by the student they came to see,
and the student must stay with
her guest in the lobby if no
hostess is on doty.

RC 152 establish a key
policy for Hopkins. As soon as
feasible, each resident of Hop-
kins will be issued a key with,
which she may enter the dorm
when the lobby is closed. How-
ever, if a student loses her key,
she assumes all responsibility for
the expenses incurred in chang-
ing all the locks and replacing all
the keys. (Hang onto those keys!

Language -drama
contest sponsored

by ANN FINCHER

Agnes Scott will sponsor a
foreign language drama contest
for Georgia high schools in Dana
Fine Arts Building, Saturday,
March 24. During the day the
campus community will have the
opportunity of viewing student
interpretations of* French and
Russian drama.

Plans for the contest began
this past summer. Under Profes-
sor Volkoff's supervision, letters
of invitation were sent to the
language departments of all
Georgia public high schools and
Southern Association of Educa-
tors approved private high
schools. These schools were in-
vited to participate in a foreign
language contest to be held at
Agnes Scott College in March,
1973. Response was enthusi-
astic, and eleven high schools
will participate.

Each high school has chosen a
dramatic selection to perform.
The only stipulations governing
the choice of the selection are
that the performance last not
less than ten minutes nor more
than twenty minutes and require
not less than two actors nor
more than five actors. Agne # s

Scott will furnish standard light-
ing and basic properties such as
tables and chairs.

Mr. Volkoff emphasizes the
competition is not between insti-
tutions, but among individuals.
A jury of five jurors, including
an Agnes Scott language profes-
sor, a native speaker, Stacie
Coclin, an Agnes Scott French
major, and a representative of a
French dramatic troupe, will
judge the performers. Awards
will be Italian marble paper-
weights with an embedded seal
of Agnes Scott College.

The chief purpose of the
competition is to promote
foreign languages on the high
school level. Last year represen-
tatives of Agnes Scott partici-
pated in a college level foreign
language dramatic contest at
Clemson University in South
Carolina and returned with
several awards. This year Scott is
providing competition at the
high school level, where lan-
guages do not receive as much
emphasis as perhaps they should.

The State of Georgia Depart-
ment of Education is aware of
the planned competition and

/ must say, it has been an experience! Perhaps next time the
school will think a little harder before they make the editor a
chemistry major who can *t spell and who didn 't do too well in Mr.
Ball's English 211 because of too many indefinite pronouns and an
over-abundance of the verb 'to be. ' Nonetheless, even though I have
probably spent more time in the dog house than out, I have enjoyed
being editor I really have.

But credit must be given where credit is properly due. The paper's
quality depends entirely on the staff members. (What quality? Aw,
come on now.) And I must thank publicly many fine people that
have made up the staff this year.

The freshman class shone brightly with four excellent additions
to the staff - Eva Gantt, Patty Pearson, Bonnie Pedersen, and
Eleanor Phelps. The older staff members also came through ad-
mirably even when deadlines were tight or assignments difficult.
Lucy Brockman, Karen Hale, Jan Lee, Erin Sherman, and Christine
Wilson have all done some excellent news and feature articles for the
paper.

Lynn Lassiter and Kay Pinckney, although at different ends of
the political spectrum, have kept the campus aware of issues and
views. Nancy Vick volunteered to be movie editor and became a fine
one at that. And finally, Ann Fincher and Joyce McKee must be
recognized for writing consistently good articles (the deadline is
6:00 p.m. Monday, Ann) and for taking great interest in the paper.

Candy Colando put up with a great deal, being told the day
before the deadline what pictures were due. Janet Short put up with
perhaps a bit more, having a totally 'un-money '-minded' editor to
contend with. Marianne Br inker and Kay Campbell both managed to
sing while putting up papers in the early morning hours so. that's
what that strange noise was you heard every other Thursday coming
over the mail room boxes.

To Gus Mann and his friendly crew at the printing establishment
of Maxwell / Mann must go a sincere debt of gratitude. Sometimes
working against impossible conditions, late copy, unworkable lay-
outs, and so forth, they have managed to help pull the ole PROFILE
together and produce voila a paper. Cheer, cheer!

Last but not least, I must thank Jan Fredrickson, my dear as-
sociate editor, who stood by in thick and thin, writing articles,
proofreading copy, doing layouts, and stuffing mailboxes (not to
mention having to put up with certain strange ideas that just seemed
to come floating out of an editor's head every now and then).

So, to you the campus community, continue to take an interest
in the paper; join the staff, write letters to the editor, write student
opinion columns, or read the paper, anyway. The next editor will
need as much if not more support in these areas as I have enjoyed.

It's been fun. Tah, tah . . .

Let's hear the
sound of silence

On the following page are two articles concerning the state of the
Honor System at Agnes Scott. The system extends to all areas of
student life, but here I would like to deal specifically with the exam
problem.

There exists a very real threat to self-scheduled exams. No one
wants to lose the privilege, but virtually everyone violates it un-
wittingly. It's obviously cheating to discuss particular aspects of an
exam. But many of us apparently feel that no harm is done by
merely referring to its difficulty. Yet even this could influence
another student's attitude toward an exam which she hasn't taken.

We are reminded of this each quarter, but we continue to talk. It
might be considered a matter of safety, for nothing dishonest can be
inferred from silence in such a case.

The upcoming exam period may be our last chance to demon-
strate both our maturity and our honesty. It doesn't take much
imagination to picture yourself with a schedule you wouldn't give
your worst enemy.

It has been said that we take such privileges for granted. Do we
have to lose this one before we realize how great it is? Must we
forfeit this freedom to stray words? The 'spirit of the law' is not
enough; we've got to stick to the letter of it. Self-scheduled exams,
like anything really worth having, demand self-discipline.

February 20, 1973

To the Editor:

I am distressed that the Equal
Rights Amendment may not be
getting the support at Agnes
Scott it ^ should receive. The
amendment presents an oppor-
tunity to some of the most
capable young women in the
Southeast to be an effective
force for constructive social
change.

The Equal Rights Amend-
ment is a broadly written law,
similar to the Civil Rights
Amendment, that would pro-
hibit dictating different roles for
men and women on the basis of
their sex. The ERA would give
women equal guardianship rights
of their children, more facility in
obtaining store credit and home
mortgages, more criteria for ob-
taining fair employment oppor-
tunities, and more equitable
treatment under criminal law. It
is time, e.g., we began prose 4
cuting the purchasers of prosti-
tution if we are going to
prosecute the sellers.

There has been some sugges-
tion that reducing the legal obli-
gation of the father for child
support would contribute to
family disintegration. Surely stu-
dents educated at Agnes Scott
would be the first to recognize

that a family held together only
by its legal obligations has al-
ready disintegrated. The purpose
of the amendment is to obligate
each parent for his or her fair
share and to enlarge the parents'
capabilities to fulfill that obliga-
tion. The amendment will not
affect the nature of intimate
personal relationships. Individual
preferences, social customs, and
economic realities have a far
greater influence on behavior
than the law.

My husband and I have en-
joyed rearing our children, but,
somehow, I find housekeeping
too repetitious for my complete
fulfillment. Hugh and I decided
to enter politics in the 7th dis-
trict of Georgia, running as
delegates pledged to Ms. Shirley
Chisholm. I can say that I have
met overt prejudice. I received
only the support of black
people. Ms. Chisholm says that
more prejudice was directed
against her as a woman than as a
black person. My experience as a
woman candidate strongly sup-
ports this conclusion.

In 1963 I was denied a teach-
ing job in New Orleans, Louisi-
ana, because the Headmaster
specifically said he assumed I
only wanted to marry a Tulane

medical student the like of
which I had not even encoun-
tered. In those times we as
women were too timid and
modest even to react to the dis-
crimination. I have seen my
Agnes Scott friends given only
typing tests as they searched for
meaningful employment. I have
seen women compromise them-
selves time and again and have to
conclude that all their educa-
tional training was not worth
one whit.

I had hoped that the Agnes
Scott student body would bring
pressure on their congressmen.to
support the ERA. Until women
begin to work out front with
men in all areas of life, we will
continue to be behind the scenes
manipulators, stunted in out-
development, at times domineer-
ing within the nuclear family
structure, and addressing en-
velopes for male political candi-
dates as outside relief from the
tedium of housework.

We as women would be
foolish not to support an amend-
ment that would help us to
realize all our potential as
human beings.
Sincerely,

Dear "Scotties,"

It was Teddy Roosevelt who
coined the word 'mugwumps'
and little did he know that at
the time he was describing the
typical Agnes Scott girl. A mug-
wump, loosely, is one who does
little more than is required of
him. He, or in this case, she,
sleeps as late as possible, gorges
herself when hungry, goes to
classes, and returns to her bed.
She makes no effort to enlighten
her personality, only reading
and/or doing what is required.
The only time she is willing to
bestir herself is when there is an
available male in the picture.

The blow brought upon this
observation was the lack of stu-
dent attendance at the Environ-
mental Symposium. Indeed, a
majority might have attended
one speaker, but there were
three entire days of speakers and
the attendance depreciated as
time went on.

Is this the type of girl that
goes to this school? Certainly it
is an admirable quality to strive
for good grades, but no one ex-
cept for one's family, close
friends, and professors is going
to know or care about grades.
Besides, what good is going to

come of knowing Latin conjuga-
tions or the Perils of Pauline
when one is ignorant of the
present condition of the earth or
the life that is going on outside
Agnes Scott, Emory, or Georgia
Tech?

Why do we live the lives of
mugwumps, then? How many
times have I heard intense dis-
cussions about Jane, on the One
O'Clock Soap Opera, yet how
little discussion have I heard on
the environmental crisis. Indeed,
it is fine and dandy to escape to
'another world' occasionally,
and it is a wonderful thing to
date and have fun - but there
are other things in this world
than television and men.

There are even other things

on this campus which cost no
more than a little bit of time.
How many people with no
classes in Dana have seen the-
Student Art Exhibit? How many
people have gone to two, or even
one, of the Civilisation films?

Come on, women, let's show
some life. Hopefully, you will all
become contented housewives
within a few years and then you
can cook, iron, watch television,
and have babies (please, no more
than two). Until then, live life -
learn . . . enlighten yourself, for
the time will come soon enough
when you have not got the
chance or opportunities that
now are easily accessible.

Time to decide now -honor system or not

No doubt, very electrifying
thinking and talking has oc-
curred this quarter concerning
our privilege of self-scheduled
exams. But it is time for more
than thinking and talking about
just self-scheduled exams - it is
time for all of us to decide
whether or not we, as a com-
munity, want an Honor System.
If we decide that we want self-
scheduled exams, take-home
tests, a key policy, an open re-
serve room, no room checks
(just to mention a few present
privileges), then we must be able
to trust each other to abide by
the rules so these privileges can
be collectively maintained. OR,
if we choose not to have an
Honor System - because charac-
ter cannot be imposed then
scheduled exams, proctored*
tests, room checks, required
notecards and rough drafts with
papers, a closed reserve, and
locked dorm rooms will exist.

It is one or the other either
we have an Honor System or we
don't have an Honor System.
Having an Honor System does
not mean obeying only those
rules which suit us and deciding
that other rules, such as reserve
book check-out hours, the No
Liquor policy, and the key
policy do not apply. Personal
integrity is not doing what is
convenient for an individual at a
specific time! Personal honor
cannot be divided and apply in
only particular areas of one's
life; trust for a fellow student
cannot be in one area and not in
another!

Furthermore, if we decide we
want our Honor System, we can-
not smile pleasantly when we see
and know wrongs occurring.
When liquor is drunk and seen in
a dorm room, when periodicals
are stolen from the library, when
reserve books 'walk out' before
check-out time, and when speci-

fic comments about exams are
overheard, we cannot fantasize
and pretend it did not happen.
What good is it if one obeys the
guidelines, but cannot face her
fellow student about breaking
the rules?

The question arises - what
does Honor Court do? Honor
Court approaches fellow stu-
dents, asks questions, and would
continue further if evidence
could be given; but Honor Court
is not a police force to jump out
of closets! That isn't very trust-
ing.

It is time to make a stand: If
we continue our Honor System,
then we adapt to all of its guide-
lines and not just those of our
particular liking, and we talk to
those who continue to tear
down community privileges by
breaking the rules. It is all or
nothing, and a bold decision is at
hand.

A major decision for sophs

by BONNIE PEDERSEN

Spring is almost here! And
with that come the thoughts of
graduation for the seniors and
the thoughts of "declaring the
major" for the sophomores.
There are twenty-two depart-
ments at Agnes Scott which
offer a major in Liberal Arts. In
the Classes of 1973 and 1974, as
well as the five previous classes,
there has been an uneven distri-
bution in the number of majors
in each department.

In the Class of 1973, there
will be 155 graduates. The num-
ber of seniors majoring in each
department are as follows:
English ,30; Art, 19; History, 17;

Psychology, 15; Biology and
Sociology, 14; Political Science
and History, 8; Dramatic Art
and Mathematics, 6; Chemistry
and French, 5; Classics, Music,
and Spanish, 3; Economics,
German, and Philosophy, 2;
Bible and Religion, 7.

In the Class of 1974, there
are 125 prospective graduates.
The number of majors in each
department are as follows:
English, 22; Psychology, 17;
History, 13; Art and Biology,
11; Mathematics, 9; Economics,
7; Political Science and History,
6; Dramatic Art and French, 5;
Sociology and Music, 4; Spanish,

3; Bible, Classics, and German,
2; Chemistry and Physics, 1.

According to the Self-Study
Report completed in 1972, the
average number of majors in
each department over the last
five years has been as follows:
English, 31; History, 27; Psy-
chology, 14; Art, 12; Mathemat-
ics, 11; Biology, 8; Sociology, 7;
French, 6; Chemistry, Eco-
nomics, and Philosophy, 4;
Dramatic Art, German, and
Spanish, 3; Bible and Religion,
and Music, 2; Classics, 1. The
average number of graduates in
each class from the past five
years is 1 50.

Further self -study

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is
the second in a two-part series
on the Self-Study Report.)
by JOYCE McKEE

The Self-Study explored in
the fourth chapter financial re-
sources. Enrollment is a problem
because the present "ratio of ap-
proximately eight students to
one instructor" is considered
"too small for the endowment
and tuition." The funds paid by
the student and her family in
tuition, fees, and room and
board have formed approximate-
ly 38% of annual expenditures
for the past five years. Rising
costs have caused a $615.00 per
student increase in tuition and
fees in the past five years to
maintain this percentage. The
college is operating on a tight
budget and has no funds for
building a badly needed student
center and gym or library ex-
pansion.

Increasing tuition substantial-

ly would adversely affect the en-
rollment, which is down any-
way, and would not provide suf-
ficient funds for a building pro-
gram. Current enrollment may
even be too small to maintain
financially the present size of
the faculty. The Self-Study re-
ports, "without a larger enroll-
ment, remarkable growth is not
forecast for any academic de-
partment - and, indeed, faculty
members who leave may in some
instances not be replaced." The
Self-Study also recognized the
difficulty of any long-range
planning when enrollment is
largely unforeseeable.

The Self-Study stated,
"Probably the most important
goal among educational objec-
tives concerns keeping and
getting excellent faculty." Chap-
ter V was devoted to a consider-
ation of the faculty. When com-
pared with twelve similar institu-

tions, faculty salary at Scott lags
behind theirs. The Self-Study
pointed out, however, that both
the geographical location and
the "nation-wide low market for
college faculty" are factors in
maintaining a "faculty of the
quality needed." Among the
recommendations found in this
section is one that "the college
consider the new ETS question-
naire for student evaluation of
faculty." This measure would be
especially helpful since course
and faculty evaluation varies
from professor to professor and
from department to department.

Reflecting its importance in
any fine liberal arts college, the
library is treated in a separate
chapter. Chapters are also de-
voted to Student Personnel, the
Physical Plant, Special Activities,
Research, and Planning for the
Future.

(continued on page 4)

What happens when the Honor System becomes obsolete? Cer-
tainly, it is something too precious to lose, but we must ask this
question. We have reached the point where the disturbing trend
toward laxity threatens to destroy the honor which has been the
basis for Agnes Scott life over the past eighty-four years. The integ-
rity of Agnes Scott students has never before been in question.

The Agnes Scott students of the past could not enjoy the aca-
demic and social freedoms which we take for granted today. Per-
haps, that is the problem - we take too much for granted. We take
for granted, for example, that the integrity of the Agnes Scott com-
munity continues even when we blatently discuss exams. We take for
granted that others will continue to observe library and dining hall
regulations even though we take reserve books and mass quantities
of food at will. We take for granted that Honor Court will uphold
the structure of an Honor System which is, from all appearances,
wobbling on a very shaky foundation.

As a tour guide for prospective students, I enjoy watching the
reactions of those new to Agnes Scott. When they see purses and
books lying unattended in the dining hall, when they notice that
dormitory rooms are not locked, when they learn of our privilege of
self-scheduled exams, these visitors sense the honor and the integrity
underlying our life here at the college. What happens when the
Honor System becomes obsolete? Locked doors, a police force in
the library and dining hall, scheduled exams, and an Honor Court
imposing martial law on the community will result. I personally do
not think Agnes Scott is ready for this kind of life. Do you?

PERSPECTIVE

Bravo!

by KAY PINCKNEY

"The Limits to Growth: The
Atlanta Environmental Symposi-
um" brought an intense concen-
tration of great thoughts and
thinkers to the Agnes Scott cam-
pus for two full days and
evenings of intellectual stimula-
tion. Symposium speakers, with
the notable exception of the
panel of businessmen, all agreed
enthusiastically with the idea
that societal growth will be
limited in the near future by the
depletion of natural resources.

The scholars presented their
ideas on the subject of limited
growth. Whether one who
listened agreed with their sup-
positions was unimportant. The
interchange of ideas and ques-
tions resulted in intellectual ex-
citement a condition rare in
any quantity on the Scott cam-
pus. Majors in the physical and
biological sciences, as well as
those in English, foreign lan-
guages, the social sciences and
the fine arts, found the lectures
equally comprehensible.

Never before in my four years
at Agnes Scott have there been
so many ideas thrown at stu-
dents to accept or reject if they
chose, in an intensive inter-
disciplinary symposium. Mr. Orr
and Mr. Leslie, when are you
planning another one?

CLEMENT CONGER TO LECTURE

On Tuesday, March 6, the Members Guild of the High Museum of
Art will present a slide lecture by Clement E. Conger entitled, 'The
White House Today." The lecture, free and open to the public, will
be held in the Walter C. Hill Auditorium of the High Museum at
8: 1 5 p.m. A public reception will follow the lecture.

Clement E. Conger, Chairman of the Fine Arts Committee of the
Department of State and Curator of the White House, Washington, is
a native of Virginia and a graduate of Strayer College. He joined the
State Department in 1947 and has served in a number of capacities,
including the Assistant Executive Directorship of the Bureau of
German Affairs, and two tours of duty as Deputy Chief of Protocal.

While Assistant Chief of Protocal (1955-1957), he recommended
the inclusion of official reception rooms in the new State Depart-
ment building (completed in 1961) and initiated a program of
furnishing the rooms with fine period American furniture as well as
historic American paintings and decorative arts. He has continued to
direct this program, and the collection is now valued at more than
$8,500,000. Most recently, Mr. Conger has undertaken, with Mrs.
Richard M. Nixon, the redecoration of a number of White House
rooms, using special funds from private sources and gifts.

This event - the slide show and the reception for Mr. Conger that
follows - is the third in the High Museum Members Guild's 'Art
World Speaker Series' for 1972-73.

FURTHER SELF-STUDY

(continued from page 3)

These two articles have been
intended to give only an idea of
the scope of the Self-Study and,
hopefully, to encourage students
to read the study. It is especially
helpful to have an over-all view
of the college while a new presi-
dent is being selected. Perhaps
the final statement best states
the function of the Self-Study:
"A retreat from today's chal-
lenges is not conceivable, and
Agnes Scott is not nor has

ever been - short on self-
criticism; individuals comprising
an astute Board of Trustees, a
dedicated administration, a con-
cerned and capable faculty, an
intelligent and interested group
of alumnae, and a highly vocal
student body see to that." Self-
criticism and a willingness to
implement useful change are es-
sential to maintain the vitality of
Scott.

Alumnae's packing

The Agnes Scott Alumnae As-
sociation, along with members,
families, and friends, is planning
a 1 6-day tour of Spain and
Portugal. The tour, which lasts
from June 4 through June 19,
1973, costs a total of $997.00
roundtrip from New York.

The tour will include visits to
Lisbon, Madeira, Madrid, Grana-
da, Seville, Algeciras, Tangier,
and Costa del Sol. Included in
the cost are accommodations at

first class and deluxe hotels, a
minimum of two meals daily,
tips and baggage handling, air
and surface transportation, sight-
seeing costs, and the services of
an experienced tour conductor.

Space on the tour is assigned
on a first -come, first-served
basis. The planning and opera-
tion of the tour is being handled
by Osborne Travel Service, 3379

More and more Scotties are
seeking part-time employ ment in
the real world these days in
order to make ends overlap. For
those who are answering classi-
fied ads, unclassified ads, and
obscene phone calls to no avail,
there is good, useful work to be
done if someone will just do it. I
have taken time off from my job
as a shepherdess to look into
possibilities for the hard-core
unusual.

The Fulton Bag and Cotton
Mills need knit-pickers. This job
requires patience, as it consists
of looking for and finding things
which are there but which might
go unnoticed by average indi-
viduals who assume that they
aren't there. If you can convince

your supervisor that things
which aren't there might pos-
sibly be there, then you are
doing a good job.

Someone with a knack for
scientific machinery is needed to
repair leaky nuclear reactors. At
present, all available Tech per-
sonnel are working on these, but
turnover is rapid. Unfortunately,
most former employees are able
to point only to the numbers on
my Ouija board.

Millions of doughnuts and
bagels need holes. This is no
mere pushing-out job. What you
have to do is zero in on an un-
occupied area of space and sur-
round it quickly before it is
filled with something else. Grape
jelly, for instance. This tends to
be messy if you don't get all the

way around it.

Charm school instructors are
in great demand as more barbari-
ans attempt to bring themselves
down to the level of civilization.
Only charming people , need
apply. How can you tell whether
or not you are charming? If you
can pour molasses over a mag-
nolia blossom without throwing
up, you are.

The aesthetically inclined
might welcome the opportunity
to exercise their artistic ability.
Counterfeiters are always look-
ing for apprentices. Good en-
graving and printing require skill.
You can practice on things like
pesos and rubles, and gradually
work up to the almighty you-
know-what. Which is the object
of all this labor, right?

Blow ye winds, blow

by PATRICIA PEARSON

If you're thinking of a gigan-
tic ocean liner complete with
ballroom dancing and a social
director, and costing much more
than your meager student's bud-
get will allow, think again, be-
cause this is definitely not that
type! If you're thinking about
sailing along your lazy way to
the Virgin Islands or the Grena-
dines on a windjammer for a
reasonable price, you're on the
right track!

This line of cruises was begun
in 1947 by a Captain Mike
Burke who tries to "make avail-
able unique 'barefoot' vacations
tempered with modern com-
fort." It's supposed to be adven-
turesome and lots and lots of
fun (and a little romantic, too!).

There's plenty of room in an
air-conditioned berth, and the
meals, cooked by a 'sea-going
stewardess' are said to be "excel-
lent." All the windjammers have
an impeccable record for safety,
in case you were worried about
getting a Sunday captain!

Rum swizzles, wine at dinner,
and 'wake-up' Bloody Marys are
on the house every day, in addi-
tion to a well-stocked bar for
those so inclined.

Perhaps you'd like to sail to
the Virgin Islands for spring
break. A windjammer leaves

spot a cruise lasting six days.
It's $1 85.00. If the Virgin
Islands were not exactly what
you had in mind and you desire
to skip part of spring quarter,
you could sail to the Grenadines
(and also stop by Venezuela for
a visit) and spend a little more
money ($290.00) for a trip that
takes eleven days. When you put
into port, the windjammer
would be your 'hotel.'

Clothing is usually quite in-
formal; you'd bring jeans, shorts,
your bathing suit(s), a dress or
two for a festive evening ashore,
"your camera, sunglasses, fishing
and diving gear, suntan lotion,

and your wife"(?).

You are urged to make reser-
vations early because these
cruises are usually booked well
in advance. Write to: Windjam-
mer Cruises, P. O. Box 120,

sure to: (1) Include yout deposit

date, itinerary, and ship desired.
(In the cases of the two cruises
mentioned, you would take the
"Yankee Clipper" for the Virgin
Islands and the "Fantome" for
the Grenadines.) You will be
sent detailed instructions, a

and an invitation to a bon
voyage party.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030

March 21. 1973

Self-Study Committee Visits

The Visiting Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools will be on campus
all day Monday and Tuesday, April 2 and 3, from about 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The committee is
expected to be composed of nine persons, although the list is not yet' officially complete. Dr. Cecil
Abernethy, Professor of English at Birmingham-Southern College, Chairman of the Visiting
Committee, has already paid a preliminary visit to the campus (on January 27).

The Visiting Committee will have read the Self-Study Report before they come. From their
headquarters on campus in 321 Buttrick Hall, the committee will engage in a variety of activities
according to their needs in connection with evaluating all aspects of the College and the Self-Study
itself. Besides studying additional documents and information furnished here at the College, they
will converse both formally and informally with students, faculty, and staff. They may attend
classes. They will likely have lunch both days in the dining hall. The President's Dining Room has
been reserved for them in case they need to have a luncheon meeting, but just as likely they will
join students or faculty for lunch. Wednesday morning, April 4, they will spend off campus,
preparing their own reports. By early afternoon, they will be making an oral report to the
President. A more detailed written report will come at a later unspecified time.

Election Issue

This is the Election Issue. It contains questions directed to the

The middle sheet of this paper is the OFFICIAL BALLOT on
which you vote. Check by the Hub on Thursday, March 22, between
the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., to find out any changes or
corrections in the ballot. After you vote, you will have to bring the
ballot back to the Hub (within these same hours) to be validated and
turned in.

The PROFILE hopes this issue will be a help to you in choosing a
candidate and that it will encourage you to VOTE!

1. What specific changes in school policy or regulations
do you think REP Council needs to address itself to?

BINKLEY: Recent concern about the growing threat to
our Honor System indicates the great need to re-examine
certain basic policies and regulations on our campus.
SGA (meaning everybody) needs to search out and re-
evaluate those weak areas of the Honor Code which may
be serving to undermine our whole system. Are these
policies still relevant on an ever-changing college cam-
pus? Do they still possess their former validity? I think
that REP (in an organized effort along with Honor
Court, BSA, and Interdormitory Council) needs to ex-
amine once again the drinking policy, open dorms, the
sign-out policy, the point system, library and dining hall
regulations, to determine where changes or revisions may
be warranted. Judicious changes in policy hopefully will
strengthen our effort to recapture the strong sense of
honor and spirit of community on our campus.

KINNEY: Primarily, REP Council needs to work less as
a mediator and more as a unifying agent, integrating
student interests and overall school policy. This involves
an emphasis on the personalism stressed at Agnes Scott
rather than the parentalism. In light of the coming
change of administration, REP should, from the stand-
point of student interests and needs, re-define and re-
dedicate Agnes Scott's continuing tradition of excellence
in the liberal arts. REP also needs to emphasize a con-
cern for clarifying the administrative systems which deal
directly with student organizations and student life so
that REP can deal more flexibly and efficiently not only
to solve problems, but also to concentrate on a creative
development of the potential of ASC.

LEE: First of all, REP Council is exactly what it indi-
cates, a representative council for the Student Govern-
ment Association of which every student is a member.
So I feel that it is not necessarily up to any one persoh
or even group of people to totally control the selection
of issues to be explored. REP Council has been called
ineffectual. I firmly believe that unless REP is given
direction by the students, the complaints are invalid.
Next year I would like to see REP Council used by the
students for voicing objection to school policy or regula-
tions. Among major complaints that I have heard are
those that deal with changes in the drinking and sign-out
policies (both being reviewed at present) and a consider-
ation of earlier election of freshmen to organizational
positions. Frankly, I feel that I must stand by the need*
of the students, for this is a community, and it's abou
time we pulled it all together in action, not words.

MACLAUCHLIN: The time has come for us to make an
honest, realistic assessment of our rules and policies.
Granted, students are now enjoying the freedoms which
recently revised social regulations permit, but a consider-
able segment still find many of the remaining proce-
dures, such as sign-out and the point system, outdated.
An increasing number of students are concerned with
broader subjects, such as a drinking policy and the defi-
nition of "social honor." Herein lies another area worthy
of our careful consideration - the Honor System. An
honor system can function properly on a campus only to
the extent that the students actively accept and respect
its standards. There is no question that a sizable portion
of the student body at Agnes Scott does not accept
some of the social standards defined in our Honor Sys-
tem.

McGREGOR: I believe that, first of all, REP Council
needs to endeavor to set up a really open method of
effecting change in both social and academic areas. It
would seem that our present system is not adequate, as
evidenced by the defeat of the drinking proposals and
the hard feelings of students on campus which resulted.
It should be possible for students, faculty, and adminis-
tration to work together for effective change, but at the
present time this does not appear to be the case. Perhaps
a change in procedure such as I am willing to investigate
would help alleviate such a feeling of helplessness which
seems to be evident on the part of students.

Candidates for SGA President - LEILA KINNEY
and BETTY BINKLEY

SKINNER: Next year brings a new administration and
therefore a new outlook. Proposals for changes concern-
ing such policies as drinking, open dorms, and hours will
be received in a different light. I think that strong oppo-
sition against many previously presented changes will
fade. Apathy because of defeat in the past should not
prevail. It is REP's responsibility to speak for the stu-
dents and maybe more interaction with the Administra-
tive Committee would give them a better insight into
campus feeling. Individual enthusiasm and initiative
from all students is greatly needed.

2. What specific problems in the academic and social life
of this campus would you like to see REP Council con-
cern itself with?

BINKLEY: First, I think that REP should set up on
some sort of a regular basis (perhaps in its unused Thurs-
day chapel period) an open-forum type of meeting
where students could come to air their grievances, to
offer their suggestions, and generally, to discuss inform-
ally anything that might be bothering them. In this way
REP could better determine where the real problems are
and where it should focus its attention. As for specific
problems which are already apparent - first in the aca-
demic realm REP (in conjunction with CAP, etc.)
should look into such things as the procedure for regis-
tration and course changes, limitations of hours, basic
requirements, the present curriculum, student-faculty
relations, and the classroom situation itself. Many of the
problems in the social realm would come to light
through the re-evaluation suggested in Question 1. In
addition, REP needs to work along with Social Council
to insure that the social life on this campus consists of
more than the lunch and dinner hours in the dining hall.

KINNEY: REP Council needs to sutstantiate its position
as a body which represents the students, as well as its
function as an acknowledged channel for change by deal-
ing directly and effectively with academic and social
problems. At the present time these problems necessarily
suggest an evaluation of the Honor System. Perhaps our
main problem with this system is not typified in just one
or two rules, but lies in the fact that students do not feel
that the existing channels are responsive to their needs -
we need to show that our rules can uphold an ideal and
make sense to the individual. REP could work in con-
junction with existent student boards to produce
thoughtful, workable solutions to dissatisfactions with
the present system. The vast majority of students at
Scott honor and value their academic privileges, parti-
cularly the unscheduled exam system. A great effort
should be made to maintain this system of trust and
mutual respect. I would like to see REP concern itself
more with both the academic frustrations of the stu-
dents and their constructive ideas in this realm. I hope

that in the future student representatives will be in-
cluded on faculty committees which consider possible
changes in the calendar and curriculum.

LEE: The major problem in the academic and social life
of this campus, that I see, lies in the infamous, vast, and
even contested issue commonly known as "academic
pressure." I see this problem as the crux of the discon-
tent of the students on this campus. However, the ques-
tion lies not only in the pressures of academics, but in
the attitudes and atmosphere on the campus. For ex-
ample, take a look at the student-faculty/administration,
faculty-faculty, and even student-student relationships
on this campus; there seems to be a lack of rapport or
communication somewhere. Furthermore, be it aca-
demic or social in nature, there is a stifled feeling in the
atmosphere. REP Council must combine its efforts with
everyone else to resolve a great portion of this problem,
for the sake of Agnes Scott and its students.

MACLAUCHLIN: One of the most urgent problems we
must deal with is the pervasive sense of frustration and
discontent that has settled over a sizable segment of the
campus. Much of our student body, having dismissed
working for changes as fruitless and wasted effort, have
retreated to do as they please in certain areas. The chan-
nels of communication must be kept open and the free-
dom of student opinion matched with a willingness to
listen seriously. REP Council must actively seek out stu-
dent opinion and endeavor to be, in fact, a representa-
tive council. A greater awareness of our own Decatur-
Atlanta area and the larger national community is vitally
needed, in addition to more activities like Black Cat
Weekend and the Environmental Symposium, to
strengthen and unify the campus.

McGREGOR: REP, working through the Committee on
Academic Problems, should concern itself vitally in aca-
demic areas, rather than shying away as has often been
done in the past. A few areas in which interest has been
expressed are the declaring of pass-fail intention later in
the quarter, and the initiation of a faculty evaluation.

In the social area, REP should once more address
itself to working toward the acceptance of the drinking
proposals, having been given what seems to be a clear
mandate from the students. Working under the auspices
and leadership of Interdorm, there should also be a
study done on the effectiveness of the sign-out policy,
with the possible option of abolishing it in its present
form.

SKINNER: Such things as the Environmental Sympo-
sium are good for student awareness and hopefully pro-
voke action. More seminars in specialized areas might
enhance our academic community. Social life on campus
is somewhat lacking, unless one prefers interaction strict-
ly with females. It seems that we could have picnics or
cookouts with men from neighboring institutions, pro-
viding food, activities (athletics, of course!), and the op-
portunity to meet new people. Since Black Cat was such
a tremendous success, we should have several smaller
scale weekends during each quarter. Community involve-
ment, where Agnes Scott as a whole would be contri-
buting to the nearby area, would be a good project for
all involved.

3. Discuss any changes in the organization of the Stu-
dent Government committees you would like to see
implemented.

BINKLEY: Mainly, I think that there should be a much
closer coordination of these committees with REP itself.
Many students are not even aware of the existence
much less, the functions - of such committees as Stu-
dent Services and CAP, which are so vitally concerned
with the most basic needs and problems of every stu-
dent. It seems to me that in the past REP has tended to
delegate certain functions to its several "helping commit-
tees," and then has simply left them on their own. Cer-
tainly a constant communication and working with
(rather than in behalf of] REP would greatly enhance
the productive effort of these committees. It is in con-
junction with these committees that REP could deal
with the immediate and specific requests of the students
- for example, specific suggestions regarding the offer-
ings in the dining hall, or perhaps, the possibilities of
some sort of protective regulations to insure against the
terrific pressure and work load of the week before
exams.

KINNEY: More than any reorganization, we need a revi-
talization of several committees and an extension of
their services so that they apply to the student body on
a broader basis. In addition to its present activities, Stu-
dent Services Committee should promote student-
faculty relations and act as a student information board,
offering informal advice on community and academic
matters. The student members of CAP should investigate
the use of student evaluations of courses, work with
Orientation Council on academic counseling for fresh-
men, coordinate student tutoring services, and help the
sophomore class in the presentation of major subjects
during spring quarter. REP should aid Orientation Coun-
cil in their activities for the purposes of making Orienta-
tion a campus-wide effort and of utilizing present
boards, which could handle a large portion of the work.

LEE: Primarily, I feel that the organization of the Stu-
dent Government committees needs to be thoroughly
reviewed. There are committees which are not function-
ing well in the pursuit of their particular job. The organi-
zation needs to be tightened up in order to insure pro-
gress and action. Committees are created for a purpose;
if they are not effective, reconstruct them or get rid of
them. Furthermore, the students need to know about
the committees, and, at least, REP Council should be
well oriented to the purpose and procedure of each.

MACLAUCHLIN: The success of any committee
depends, of course, on its leadership and membership. I
am afraid that many students who volunteered to work
on an SGA committee this year were justly disappointed
when their committee failed to meet or when they were
never called on to do anything. Changes? I think that
regular committee reports to REP Council would not
only encourage the committees to meet regularly and
make use of their members, but would also help to gen-
erate campus enthusiasm in what the committee was
doing. Making these reports open to student suggestion
through the PROFILE might be another improvement.
Students must not only be informed adequately of what
committees exist and the positions to be filled, but in
addition, they must be actively encouraged to petition
for these vacancies. There is no doubt that a re-evalua-
tion of a number of REP committees is needed, and all
committees would benefit from a re-definition of their
specific goals and purposes.

McGREGOR: It is my opinion that all committee chair-
men should be advisory members of REP Council. Week-
ly or biweekly committee reports should be presented at
REP Council meetings and then given to the secretary to
be kept on file for future reference. At the present time,
there are several committees which are not functioning,
and this seems to be mostly a result of apathy on the
part of the chairman of the members rather than on the
lack of issues toward which the committees should be
able to address themselves.

SKINNER: The key to a working Student Government
is communication. It seems that a school of merely 620
students could keep up with the latest discussions and
actions taken by REP Council. Meetings are open and
minutes are posted, but there is a short in the wiring
somewhere, because students remain uninformed. This
may be due to a general bad attitude among students or
it may be the fault of the representatives. Regardless, it
is up to all of us to be concerned and involved. Most
students do not know thing one about appointed Stu-
dent Government committees. Who is on them? How are
they selected? What is their function? We'd best be con-
cerned because it is these silent committees that make

PROFILE / March 21, 1973

some important decisions that affect all of us. We are a
heterogeneous group and all ideas need to be heard
minority or majority. Maybe representation should come
from halls on REP Council instead of from classes. If we
are going to have an effective Student Government, we
need to bridge the gap between students, faculty, and
administration.

4. Does the method by which the Student Treasury is
apportioned need to be revised? Why or why not?

BINKLEY: Yes. First, I think that improper money re-
quests often follow as a consequence of the fact that
allotment requests for the next year are made in the
spring by newly-elected board treasurers who have not
had a chance to examine adequately the activities and
possible costs for their boards. Further I feel that REP
itself, when it is voting on the budget as presented by
the budget committee, should look more carefully at the
budget as a whole to compare allotments and locate dis-
parities, and then should approve allotments individual-
ly.

KINNEY: Since BSA consists of representatives of the
campus organizations, I suggest that the budget commit-
tee include the chairman of BSA as an advisory member.
There are fewer funds than will be requested, but a more
flexible and considerate distribution could be made if
the budget was viewed as a whole, not only as a combi-
nation of the budgets of individual boards. A study com-
paring the percentages to be spent on different activities
in the coming year (board activities, special activities,
publications, reserve funds) would be helpful in making
economical use of student activities fees.

LEE: Yes, I definitely feel that the method by which the
Student Treasury is apportioned needs to be revised.
Some organizations are sitting on previous, unused
money or overlotting "just in case"; others are in need
of money because the "just in case" situation arises.
Then come the demands from the students for more
social functions or for better known lecturers, and no
one is quite sure where the money is or how to get it.
I'm not accusing anyone of anything; I just feel that we
need to exercise a little more "give ^nd take" on this
campus, allowing the opportunity for special occasions
and the like.

MACLAUCHLIN: Definitely yes! Revision of the Stu-
dent Organization Budget is urgently needed as a result
of the gradual decrease in student enrollment and thus
the drop in the number of student activity fees ($50 per
student) in the Student Treasury. We must collectively
evaluate our organizations and their contribution to the
campus, and then allot the Student Treasury funds ac-
cordingly. Obviously, those organizations which affect a
larger segment of the student body justly deserve a pro-
portionately larger share of the student activity fees. An
organization cannot hope to provide the campus with
the activities and events students are asking for if ade-
quate financial support is not available. If campus or-
ganizations are to fulfill their purpose, they must be
funded sufficiently.

McGREGOR: It would appear that many of the prob-
lems which have arisen concerning the Student Treasury
have been due primarily to the lack of funds in itself
rather than to the actual method by which funds are
apportioned. The only way that the first problem can be
solved is for there to be more students at Agnes Scott -
a problem with which REP should perhaps concern it-
self. If, however, after consulting with the present trea-
surer and budget committee, a change in methods of
appropriation of funds would be desirable, I would be
willing to implement such a change.

SKINNER: From what I understand, campus organiza-
tions are allotted a set amount from the Student Govern-,
ment Treasury. Requests for additional funds are review-
ed and distributed where needed. There seems to be a
discrepancy, though, as to who determines how much
money goes where. It should be known how this is done
and whether the student body wants its money to go to
a select few or to an unknown cause.

5. The president of SGA is one of the two student mem-
bers on the Administrative Committee. Evaluate your
function on the committee.

BINKLEY: The responsibilities and the possibilities of
this membership are terrific! It is through this commit-
(continued on page 3)

PROFILE / March 21, 1973

(continued from page 2)

tee that we as students have our best opportunity to let
the faculty and administration know what we are think-
ing. It is here that major student recommendations are
made or buried, so it is here that there is no room for
"beating around the bush." The president of SGA (along
with the chairman of Honor Court) must take explicit
student desires and opinions and must discuss and sup-
port them openly and intelligently. It is on this commit-
tee especially that there must always be an open ex-
change of ideas about student-faculty concerns - even
perhaps of heretofore "non-negotiables."

KINNEY: The president of SGA is primarily a student,
elected to represent the student body, and she should
vote with their interests in mind. Since the way that
legislation is presented has a lot to do with the way it is
received, it is important for a proposal to be presented in
a rational, constructive manner, so that it will be judged
on the basis of its merits and not by the emotional issues
which surround it. Concerning judicial matters, the SGA
president should consider each case individually with
respect to the particular student and her situation.

LEE: The function of the president of SGA on the Ad-
ministrative Committee is obviously to represent the stu-
dents and present the RC's in question at any time.
However, I think it goes farther than that. The president
of SGA should not only present student opinions and
complaints, but pursue the issues which have been
explored and formulated by REP until they have been
properly reviewed and some sort of action instigated.
Furthermore, it is of utmost importance that the presi-

Candidates for SGA President - SUSAN SKIN-
NER and LIB McGREGOR

dent of SGA work to establish for the students a strong-
er rapport and clearer understanding between the stu-
dents and the administration.

MACLAUCHLIN: Clearly, the function of student
members on the Administrative Commitee is to repre-
sent student opinion and to serve as a liaison between
the student body and the faculty and administration.
Students need to take part in the shaping and direction

PAGE 3

of the programs, activities, and regulations which affect
them. It is vitally important, however, that the establish-
ed channels of communication remain open in order that
propitious change can take place. The freedom of stu-
dent expression must be coupled with a willingness to
listen seriously. In the future, student relations with the
Administrative Committee might be improved if the
committee were utilized more often as a forum for dis-
cussion and free exchange of ideas about problems stu-
dents feel are important.

McGREGOR: The president of SGA is a representative
of the students, and she should concern herself solely
with this duty when she functions as a member of the
Administrative Committee. Her personal feelings should
be held in check when the desires of the student body as
a whole are in opposition to her own. She should be free
to express her own opinion at any other time during her
term; however, when she is a member of the Adminis-
trative Committee, she should represent the students,
not herself.

SKINNER: The function of the SGA president on the
Administrative Committee is to speak and vote for the
majority of the student body regardless of her personal
feelings or ideas. It is also her duty to listen to the
minority and to voice their stands, but her vote is to be
for the majority. Her responsibility is to work with ad-
ministration and for students. Sometimes compromise
will be necessary, and the SGA president should work
things out as best she can for the students as a whole.
Diplomacy is an important quality for a leader who
speaks for her constituency:

Candidates for Arts Council Chairman BLUE
A RGO and BETH BUDD with KA Y COL VI N

1. What can Arts Council do to encourage students to
take more advantage of the cultural opportunities avail-
able to them in Atlanta?

ARGO: Arts Council could provide information and
more publicity about cultural events in the community.
The program of ushering at cultural events should per-
haps be emphasized, because this is one outstanding way
of becoming acquainted with the arts for free. Perhaps
they could help students with transportation problems.
The main thing Arts Council could do would be to gen-
erate an atmosphere of enthusiasm for the arts in the
college community.

BUDD: Taking advantage of the Atlanta area cultural
opportunities must necessarily depend on the individual
students, subject to their own interests. The function of
Arts Council in this respect can only be to make sure
that interested students are aware of the various oppor-
tunities in Atlanta and to aid them in finding access to

transportation, if possible. The ushers program has been
very successful in this respect and certainly merits being
continued. Aside from the usual publicity and calendars
for events in the Atlanta arts, students should also have
access to information on special student programs and
discounts, besides the ushers program, that are available.
Arts Council cannot, however, stimulate an interest that
does not exist; we can only aid those that have an inter-
est.

2. What can Arts Council do to encourage students to
attend cultural events held here on the campus?

ARGO: Again, the main thing Arts Council can do is to
generate enthusiasm. For students who are only mildly
interested in the arts to gain the initiative to attend cul-
tural events on the campus, they must first be convinced
that the event is worth their time. The main way to do
this is for the members of Arts Council to talk about it,
publicize it, and show enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is conta-
gious. The more enthusiasm generated by Arts Council
for events of this kind, the more enthusiasm the other
students will have.

BUDD: Again, this is a matter of conveying information
to the student body as a whole so that those interested
can take advantage. If there seems to be a lack of atten-
dance at campus cultural events, it is not because in
most cases students do not know about them.

The most effective action that Arts Council can take
to further stimulate interest in campus activities is to
cooperate with the other major boards in trying to im-
prove the general atmosphere on and about the campus.
As students take a deeper interest in Agnes Scott itself,
they will take a greater interest in the events on
campus.

3. What specific activities of Arts Council do you want
to continue? What additional programs would you like to
see begun?

ARGO: All things considered, I think that the Arts Fes-
tival in the spring is one of Arts Council's most promi-
sing projects. I think that this should be stressed and
that all clubs and activities on the Scott campus affili-
ated with Arts Council should center their programs
around this event and work together toward making the
Arts Festival one of the most important events of the
year. Agnes Scott is a liberal arts college, and it is appall-
ing to me that a college with its focus on the arts should

have such an apathetic student attitude toward the fine
acts. I think that the Arts Festival could be used as a goal
to unify the campus community into artistic creativity
and production, and perhaps help alleviate student
apathy.

I have attended a meeting with art majors from Geor-
gia Tech, Georgia State, and the Atlanta School of Art
to help plan a mixer and art exhibit coordinating art
work from all the colleges in the Atlanta community. I
think it would be wonderful for Arts Council to become
involved in inter-school activities of this kind because it
would better enable students to see what their contem-
poraries in other schools are doing artistically.

BUDD: I do not feel that Arts Council should start any
new programs until the existing ones are developed to
their full potential. Since Arts Council's major purpose is
to promote the arts on campus, this means organizing
publicity to reach more students more often. Another
very important factor in promoting the arts will be pro-
moting Agnes Scott in general, as I mentioned before.
Not until students become more interested in all func-
tions at Agnes Scott will they become more interested in
the cultural aspects in particular, so that existing pro-
grams are developed to their full potential.

4. Discuss the possibilities of overlapping the various arts
on campus. Do you see any need or advantage in doing
this?

ARGO: I see a definite advantage in overlapping the
various arts on campus. This would provide an artistic
unity which is imperative if the Agnes Scott "whole
woman" is really going to come out "whole." Each facet
of the arts is good in itself, but I feel that there are just
too many "specialists" around today and not enough
people with well-rounded Renaissance-type personalities
and perspectives on life. This is one reason why I feel
that the spring Arts Festival is such an asset for the
college. It is virtually the only time that the various arts
on campus overlap.

BUDD: Cooperation and coordination of the various arts
groups on campus has recently been a very worthwhile
venture. As a member of dance group, I have seen the
tremendous advantages of the mutual cooperation of
dance group and Blackfriars in the last two years. This
makes certain resources available to both groups that
they otherwise would hot have had, and I believe this
makes for a more professional and effective approach to
the arts. Arts Council has promoted this type of coop-
eration in the past through its orientation chapel on the
arts. Since Arts Council represents all the arts on cam-
pus, it provides an ideal setting through which more of
this "overlapping" of the arts can be promoted and initi-
ated.

PROFILE /March 21,1973

1. How should Honor Court deal with the student who
does not feel that the regulations under the honor sys-
tem coincide with her personal beliefs and so breaks the
regulations?

BROCKMAN: The honor system is established for the
good of the entire college community and must operate
in that way. Such a process necessarily entails some re-
sponsibilities and even sacrifices, as well as the privileges
it begets. A student who breaks the regulations, feeling
that they do not coincide with her personal beliefs,
should be treated as any other case, tried and decided by
the usual procedure. Obviously, certain people cannot be
given license to break certain rules. However, a case like
this requires additional attention and investigation on
the part of the Court to determine how well-founded
and wide-spread this negative reaction to a rule is. The
integrity of the college is built upon the personal integ-
rity of its students: the honor code upon a consensus of
personal beliefs. If the difference between the two
became too great, the system would not function and
would need to be changed. Honor Court will be among
the first to know and should take the initiative to under-
stand the source and work to reduce the discrepancy.

KING: There is no excuse for any student to deliberate-
ly break a regulation established by this college, regard-
less of her own personal beliefs. A student's presence at
Agnes Scott is an indication of her desire to remain a
part of the college community, and as a part of the
college, she must accept certain responsibilities and
abide by the rules set up for community life. Honor
Court should consider any individual who has broken a
rule, whether intentionally or not, with the same cour-
tesy, wisdom, sobriety, and impartiality which Socrates
himself established as standard of judgment.

MILES: The honor system does not stifle personal integ-
rity. It incorporates individual integrity into a sense of
community. Although I am personally involved in seek-
ing changes in some campus policies, as chairman of
Honor Court, I would uphold the regulations of the
honor system and seek to enforce them. While in an
evaluative or transition period (specifically concerning
social policies), regulations cannot be ignored or we will
lose our sense of community.

2. Do you see any areas presently under the jurisdiction
of Honor Court which should not be? Any not included
which should be?

BROCKMAN: There are possibilities for Honor Court
and Dormitory Council to work together in the realm of
social regulations, for instance, key policy. Up to a cer-
tain point, as long as the violation involves a student
simply forgetting to put the key in the box, it would be
easier and just as efficient for Dorm Council to handle
these cases.

KING: The jurisdiction of Honor Court is quite compre-
hensive: Honor Court governs all areas of life at Agnes
Scott both academic and social. Recently many Scot-
tics have voiced the opinion that social integrity is not as
important as academic integrity that the social life of
Scott students should not be a part of the honor system
nor be governed by Honor Court. Specifically, students
have objected to certain rules governing social behavior
on campus the present drinking policy, for example. I
feel that if our governing policy is ever changed, it
should be the rules themselves which are altered and not
the principle behind our honor system. Integrity and
trust must cont blue Id exist in all areas of life at Agnes
ScotL

MILES: I leel that violations of the key policy should be
handled h\ Interdorm. As a judicial body, Interdorm
shares the responsibility with Honor Court of enforcing
the honor system. (Students uphold the honor system,
judicial bodies onl\ enforce it when students fail to as-
sort then responsibility.) I would like to see Interdorm
handle more cases ol social violations. I am suggesting a
differentiation in the handling oi some social and aca-
demic violations, not a separation of the honor system
into a social aspect and an academic aspect. It the juris-
diction ot Interdorm is expanded, increased communica-
tion between Honor Court and Interdorm would be es-
sential. One possible suggestion would be to have an

Candidates for Honor Court Chairman - LUCY BROCK/v.AN, MELISHA MILES, and BECKY
KING proudly display bread from the dining hall until Mrs. Saunders comes up.

Honor Court representative serve on Interdorm in a judi-
cial capacity.

Contrary to seemingly popular belief, Honor Court
does not automatically handle violations of the drinking
policy. These cases originate in Interdorm or Dorm
Council and are passed on to Honor Court only as ap-
peals or with extenuating circumstances.

3. Detail any changes you feel needed in the due process
procedure or in the method of appeal.

BROCKMAN: The penalties specified for Honor Court
offenses are quite broad and often vague. It is time that
they were reviewed and assessed in terms of present con-
ditions and types of violations. In many cases there is a
significant discrepancy between the actual violation and
the intentions of the student, which may be taken into
account in first offenses. Ignorance of the rules has a
part in this, and can sometimes be justified. The honor
code and its regulations are presented at freshman orien-
tation, and then never elaborated upon again. The Court
should see that there v are opportunities during the year
to restate the rules, their purposes, and the procedure
involved in enforcement. Open meetings or dorm discus-
sions would reciprocate student feelings on important
issues and help Honor Court to better serve the college.
The faculty should also be encouraged to explain certain
academic rules and procedures, and follow them them-
selves.

KING: Fortunately, Honor Court spent a good deal of
time last spring clarifying both the due process proce-
dure and the method of appeal. As a result, the two are
"made perfectly clear" in this year's Handbook One
aspect of the method of appeal, however, needs further
consideration. The fact that cases involving Disciplinary
Probation for Violation of Academic Regulations,
suspension, and dismissal are automatically reviewed by
the Administrative Committee indicates that a student
wishing to appeal her case before that committee would
be merely following required procedure rather than tak-
ing her case to a higher court of appeals. I am eager to
work on this and other issues in the year ahead.

MILES: My opinion is that the due process* procedure
and methodS'Of appeal adequately protect the individual
rights of the student and the sense of community. Last
year the procedures were revised and are now detailed in
the student handbook. (An accused individual is inform-
ed of her rights and the proper methods of appeal.)
Honor Court is presently examining the penalty system
to insure that penalties are relevant to the infringement
and serve more than a punitive purpose.

4. Explain the responsibility of each student under the
honor system. How can Honor Court encourage a stu-
dent to accept this responsibility?

BROCKMAN: Open Court meetings would also give op-
portunities to re-define the responsibilities of each stu-
dent under the system. The honor code expects every
student to obey the prescribed regulations and to see
that other students do the same. This involves speaking
to a violator and urging her to turn herself in, and, if she
refuses, to take the accusation to Honor Court, Many
students find it hard to meet the second half of the

code's requirements - turning another student in. This is
a serious problem in which students find a deep obliga-
tional conflict. However, it must be stressed that when
each girl signs the honor pledge, she makes a two-fold
promise - to her own integrity and to that of the col-
lege. Following the rules herself satisfies the first part,
but some active, responsible government directly by the
students is required also, and essential to the operation
of the system as an honor code instead of a police force.

KING: Honor Court has many resources for trying to
instill a sense of honor in Agnes Scott students. Meeting
and talking with freshmen in hall meetings, publishing
articles in the PROFILE, hosting chapels and complins,
and helping with special projects on^campus and in the
community are a few of the resources at Honor Court's
disposal. And, yet, as the old saying gdes, "You can lead
a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."

Each student must, on her own, nurture the sense of
honor by which she lives as a part of our community.
Such a sense of honor must include both personal integ-
rity and concern for all who live and work together at
Agnes Scott.

MILES: Each individual is responsible for herself and for
fellow students in upholding the regulations of our com-
munity of trust.

Honor Court must strike a balance between respect
and sensitivity. A personal touch is needed to encourage
students to accept their responsibility. Sharing the prob-
lems not in a preaching or threatening manner -
allows students to exercise their dual responsibility.
Freshman orientation has the potential to be an effective
way to acquaint new students with the privileges and
responsibilities of living in a community of trust.

5. The chairman of Honor Court is one of the two stu-
dent members on the Administrative Committee. Evalu-
ate your function on this committee.

BROCKMAN: As a member of the Administrative Com-
mittee, the chairman of Honor Court has the very deli-
cate job of moderating between administrative and stu-
dent representation. She must take an overview of all
sides of an issue and reach decisions based on the welfare
of the community at large. A position on this committee
also offers opportunities to bring up students' questions
and violations of specific rules, and how this affects the
workings of the college.

KING: Along with the president of Student Govern-
ment, the chairman of Honor Court is able to provide a
student opinion on a committee which is otherwise com-
posed only of Agnes Scott faculty and staff. In addition
to submitting Honor Court's decisions to the committee
for final approval, the Honor Court chairman also has
full voting rights on the issues before the committee. I
see this position as one of great responsibility and poten-
tial.

MILES: Especially important with the new president
will be student representation on the Administrative
Committee. The chairman of Honor Court must voice
student opinion. An added responsibility is the presenta-
tion of recommended penalties to the committee for
approval.

Candidates for Orientation Chairman TERESA
LEE and BLUE ARGO

1. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find upperclass-
men who will serve as Sponsors and Helpers. What
should be done?

ARGO: Perhaps willing seniors could also be used in the
orientation groups to help keep the groups smaller. It
seems that a great deal of student leadership is being
wasted by not using seniors as well as juniors for Spon-
sors. Everything depends, of course, on how many stu-
dents are willing to participate each year. I think it is
basically a lack of interest on the part of upperclassmen
to help with Orientation, rather than an unwillingness to
help. The Orientation groups need people who want to
work and who are enthusiastic about it not apathetic.
The main thing to do would be to try to get people
interested and "fired up" about helping with Orien-
tation.

LEE: I do not think that in the last two years I have
noticed an increasing difficulty in finding Sponsors and
Helpers. However, it is at times hard to find enough. I
think if the upperclassmen were more aware of Orienta-
tion's work as it was planned, there would be a greater
interest among the students to become a part of it. One
solution to the lack of enough Sponsors and Helpers
might be to do away with the class restrictions set in the
qualifications for the Sponsors and Helpers. Often there
are seniors who wish to be Sponsors but are not allowed
because of the existing qualifications. I do feel that there
is a definite need for these people in the Orientation
program.

2. Are freshmen hit with too much too soon or is the
schedule of activities good the way it is? Elaborate.

ARGO: The freshmen are hit with a lot when they first
arrive, but I do not think it's too much. It is imperative
that Orientation cover or at least touch upon all facets
of college life. Orientation Council could strive to cut
down on the confusion occurring during the first week
or so. Perhaps one way to do this would be to imple-
ment a "Big-Sister" system along with the Orientation
groups - even if this was only for academic orientation.
As it stands now, there is one junior Sponsor running
around trying to schedule appointments for five fresh-
men simultaneously, trying to find the freshmen and get
them to the appointments, and trying to keep up with
the two Helpers. I think it would cut down on the con-
fusion of the first week and help things run much more
smoothly if a "Big-Sister" system could be used for aca-
demic orientation.

LEE: I think the schedule of activities is basically good
the way that it is. The whole purpose of Orientation
Council is to introduce new students to Scott in an
informative way. How would one place priorities on
which boards wait two months to introduce themselves
to the new students? Also, the academic load the first
few weeks is such a drastic change for most new students
that I think it is good to be introduced to everything else
before "academic panic" strikes. Not all activities are

mandatory, therefore a student can choose those she has
time to attend. The first six days here are full - ex-
tremely full. Orientation Council should plan these days
to thoroughly that although busy, they are not chaotic.

3. Detail any specific changes in Orientation you would
like to make.

ARGO: There are several changes that I think ought to
be made.

(A) Instead of hitting the new student on her first
night here with a traditional hub party (where upper-
classmen stand on top of the piano and sing camp
songs), I think either a watermelon or sundae party out
on the Quad would leave a better impression of the
school on the freshman's mind. They could be initiated
into hub parties later.

(B) Orientation Council and Social Council should
coordinate about rush and social orientation.

(C) Instead of the traditional faculty tea that not all
faculty members or freshmen attend, I think it would be
better to plan for a dinner on a night at which each
faculty member could meet and eat with the new stu-
dents. After the meal, a dessert-mixer could be sche-
duled in the Winship lobby at which the-students could
meet and mingle with the faculty in the traditional man-
ner. I believe that there would be more participation in
something of this sort because people are more inclined
to attend a meal than a mixer.

LEE: I would like to see Orientation work closer with
the boards on campus to provide more activities
throughout the year, i.e., more social functions on cam-
pus, more participation in athletic activities, better ac-
cess to activities in the Atlanta area. The street dance
was a success and perhaps a similar function could be
planned with Emory. The freshmen have indicated a
desire to have academic advisors in the field in which
they are interested. This, I feel, is quite feasible. In the
two years I have worked with Orientation Council I have
seen it make some really good changes that only need to
be expanded upon. Changes are made, it should be
remembered, to meet the needs of a new and different
class and not for us. I think we should be in contact
(through letters, questionnaires) with potential new stu-
dents, to see what changes they need and then inact the
specific changes for them not us.

Candidate for BSA Chairman - SARA BARRETT

1. Should BSA be like a regular board, sponsoring its
own activities (parties, lectures, etc.), or should it work
to coordinate and publicize the activities already plan-
ned by the other boards?

BARRETT: I consider BSA a regular board, sponsoring
its own activities and coordinating the activities of the
other major boards on campus. Not only does BSA pub-
licize and/or sponsor activities on campus, but it also
tries to keep the students informed as to what is happen-
ing in the Atlanta area. BSA is important in that there is
a need for a board to coordinate all of the activities in
which there is a student interest, in order to prevent an
overlapping of activities. This board should also sponsor
its own activities to preserve a unifying spirit on campus.

2. Campus activities often suffer from poor attendance.
Is there any way that BSA can stimulate more interest in
the events on campus?

BARRETT: BSA, which is comprised of a member of
each individual board on campus, including members-at-
large from the freshman and sophomore classes, is
responsible for stimulating interest among the students.
BSA, although composed of the different boards on
campus, is itself an individual board, which should work
as a unified whole to initiate interest among the students
of the college. In order for BSA to do this, each member
must be an example of enthusiasm, promoting her inter-
est in Scott throughout the entire student body. In this
way, BSA can serve to increase interest and attendance
in school events.

3. The Black Cat Weekend received much criticism and
much praise; most students enjoyed the dance and the
activities at Stone Mountain, but the participation by
the upperclassmen at the hockey games and other events
was poor. Do you foresee any changes in the activities
planned for Black Cat?

BARRETT: There will definitely be a few changes in the
activities which take place during Black Cat. I feel that
Black Cat is not only important for the freshmen, in that
it is the official end of their orientation, but that it is
important for the upperclassmen. Since there was a lack
of participation by the upperclassmen at the hockey
games and at some of the other activities, I believe that
there should be a re-evaluation of these activities and a
hew approach in stimulating interest for these events.
Since everyone seemed to enjoy the dance, production,
and parties at Stone Mountain, these events will prob-
ably be continued next year.

PAGE 6

1. What have dorm council members actually done this
year, and what will you expect them to do next year?

BEAN: This year dorm council members have again
functioned to help regulate student life in the dorm and
as a liaison between the students and the dean's office.
They have performed the duties which someone must do
in order to keep the student informed and help the dorm
run smoothly. Next year I would expect the dorm coun-
cils to continue to do what they have done in the past,
such as assign points, conduct fire drills, post announce-
ments, decide cases, plan parties, etc. I hope the dorm
council members might further add to the spirit of the
dorm in whatever way they feel appropriate in their
dorms.

McGUIRE: Dorm council members assist the students
by acting as mediators for students at dorm council
meetings, as student representatives to the adminis-
tration, and as enforcers of various regulations on the
halls on which they live. I feel that all dorm council
members should be approachable for opinion or aid by
the students. If they personally cannot help, they should
be able to direct the student to the person capable of
helping her. Dorm council members should also be will-
ing to work with others to accommodate needs on indi-
vidual halls.

RUTLEDGE: Dorm council members have done several
things this year. They have relayed information to stu-
dents about campus activities, and, more important,
they have played a vital role in acquainting the students
with- the social regulations by which each student is ex-
pected to abide while she resides at Agnes Scott. Dorm
councils have also acted as student advisors. In general,
the dorm councils have worked to make the dorms func-
tioning units. The dorm councils have also functioned as
a judicial body to handle violations of the social regula-
tions. I expect the dorm councils to function in the same
manner next year.

2. The sign-out policy is being evaluated. State your
position.

BEAN: I am very glad that the sign-out policy is being
evaluated. I do not like it the way it operates now, but
feel it is a necessary part of dorm life. My main objec-
tion to the sign-out procedure is that students are not
insured of privacy. I feel this could be remedied. Since
signing out is necessary in the case of an emergency, I
would like to implement a system where spring quarter
freshmen and upperclassmen could sign out and leave
their card in its envelope in a rack on their own door, to
be looked at only in an emergency situation. Fall and
winter quarter freshmen would have to continue signing
out at the hostess desk, as the senior resident must ac-
count for them all at dorm closing hour. This system
would aid the student with respect to privacy and con-
venience.

Candidates for Inter dorm Chairman BETSY
BEAN, TRICIA McGUIRE, and MARTY RUT-
LEDGE

McGUIRE: In support of the sign-out policy, I feel that
it is a shame that the true necessity and value of any
sign-out policy is fully realized only in the instances of
emergency. Granted the present system may not be
"perfect," it is of yet the best available. I would be
willing to investigate the possibilities of a new and better
sign-out procedure in an effort to improve the present
system.

RUTLEDGE: In view of the fact that there has been so
much resentment of, and a large number of flagrant vio-
lations of the present policy, I feel that it must be dras-
tically changed or even abolished. Actually, I feel that
mandatory sign-out should no longer be a requirement. I
think the idea behind the policy is a valid one, but I also
feel that any student at Agnes Scott College is capable of
voluntarily leaving a message of where she can be
reached if she so desires.

3. How do you see Interdorm and the dorm councils
relating to Honor Court in upholding the social end of
the honor system?

BEAN: Interdorm and the dorm councils should help
Honor Court uphold the social end of the honor system.
Although I personally do not agree with all aspects of
the social factors of the honor code, the rules are there
and must be upheld until changed. I feel as if dorm
councils might be more detailed and emphatic in meet-
ings in which they discuss the social aspects of the honor
system. Although they are by no means policewomen,
the dorm council members are responsible for a portion
of their dorm and should try to see to its safety. Dorm
councils are also responsible for certain cases arising in
the dorms and should continue to cooperate fully with
Honor Court on these cases when it is necessary to do
so. - *

McGUIRE: I see Interdorm and dorm councils working
closely with Honor Court in maintaining the honor

PROFILE / March 21 1973

system. Honor Court upholds the academic honor of the
college community, whereas Interdorm upholds the
social honor. These two organizations, functioning
separately, realize the same goal. A unified college com-
munity can exist onlv under a unified honor system. If
this is not possible, a re-evaluation of the honor system
is in order so that this becomes a reality.

RUTLEDGE: It seems to me that dorm council's and
Interdorm's major responsibility in upholding the social
end of the honor svstem is trying to see that the existing
regulations are honored by each student. Nevertheless, I
feel that Agnes Scott's social regulations will not be
honored by the students unless the students first have
respect for these regulations. I do not think that com-
plete respect for these regulations will come until some
of the regulations, such as the sign-out policy, are
changed to give us a chance to realize ourselves as social-
ly mature women.

4. What can be done about problems in dorm living
students disturbing others during quiet hours, failing to
take phone co-op or hostess duty, hating fire drills, etc.?
State what you consider problems and then give possible
solutions.

BEAN: No one thinks dorm life is perfect. There are
problems which arise or situations which occur much to
the dismay of the students. Neglect of phone co-op or
hostess duty, failure to maintain quiet hours, and dislike
of fire drills are a few. Although these do not suit every-
one, they are necessary for a dorm to run smoothly. I
feel as if the most effective way to deal with those who
violate these necessary measures is through a system of
punishments. The point system should be evaluated and
perhaps abolished or incorporated with another type of
system. I think a monetary system of fines might be
more effective than our present system. Points could still
be given/ with a monetary fine being imposed when the
student accumulates a certain total of points.

McGUIRE: Failure to comply with quiet hours, or to
take phone co-op or hostess duty should be problems
alleviated by the point system. If not, I feel that sug-
gestions by students themselves for their individual hall's
or dorm's problems would be the best means to come to
a solution. These solutions may be suitable for an indivi-
dual dorm or a hall, but not applicable to the entire
campus community. This would be acceptable, for cir-
cumstances vary with a group's living conditions. The
students' dislike of fire drills may be alleviated by con-
ducting them at more opportune times.

RUTLEDGE: The problems of dorm living are varied
and fall into different categories. Fire drills, even though
they are hated by the students, are necessary safety pro-
cedures. For security reasons, failure to take hostess
duty is a more serious offense than failure to take phone
co-op. Failure to take phone co-op and disturbance of
others during quiet hours are a basic lack of considera-
tion on the student's part for her fellow students. The
basic lack of consideration for others is the basis of most
problems of dorm life. I think the dorm councils should
attempt to impress upon the students the importance of
consideration for others.

Candidates for Social Council President ANN
YOUNG, ELLNI PAPA DOR, and BETSY MID-
DLE TON

1. How should Social Council work with Orientation in
the planning of social activities for the freshmen? What
social activities for freshmen do you think should be
continued, what new ones should be added?

MIDDLETON: Obviously, it is impossible for two
boards to coordinate their functions unless there is great
interaction between them. Therefore, I feel it necessary
for Orientation Council and Social Council to hold reg-
ular joint meetings in the spring to plane the social acti-
vities for Orientation this fall.

As far as the social activities for the freshmen are
concerned, I feel that basic changes should be made in
existing programs. The formal reception should be trans-
formed into an informal campus-wide party such as an
outdoor sundae party or watermelon party for freshmen,
faculty, administration, and all other students. Since the
main body of Tech and Emory rush is over before our
freshmen even arrive, rush sign-up should be changed to
a mixer sjgn-up, unless the freshmen girls will actually be

here for rush. Furthermore, informal functions pat-
terned after the pledge exchange prdgrams at universities
should be initiated for the freshmen to gain exposure to
many different groups of people.

PAPADOR: Through working with Orientation this
year, I became aware of an unfortunate and unnecessary
lack of communication between the Orientation Council
and the Social Council, a gap which must be breeched if
the social aspect of community life at Scott is to be
presented to the freshmen in both an objective and an
appealing manner. The task is tremendous, a much too
demanding responsibility to be placed upon one indivi-
dual. However, the entire task, for the most part, is dele-
gated annually to the social representative on Orienta-
tion Council who, ironically, is not a member of Social
Council. Therefore, it is imperative that the two councils
make a joint effort to work together more constructively
next year, for only through a combined sharing of ideas
(continued on page 7)

PROFILE / March 21, 1973

(continued from page 6)

2. Do you think the big dances are worth the time,
effort and money?

MIDDLETON: The overwhelming response to the for-
mal dances has proved that they are not only worthwhile
but a necessity in unifying the campus. Many students
voiced their opinion that the sense of unity which they
felt at the dance had never before been present in any
Agnes Scott social function. Unlike a university, a wo-
and abilities can the expanding potential for a truly ef-
fective and practical social orientation be fully realized.

YOUNG: Social Council should take a more active part
in working with Orientation to help make freshmen feel
more at home in their first few days at Scott. The facul-
ty-student dessert coffee, sponsored annually by Social
Council, should be continued, as it is the first real
chance for students to meet and talk to professors. Per-
haps by making it more informal though, both students
and faculty would feel more at ease with one another,
and so, better able to carry on more casual and less
strained conversations.

As few freshmen know boys in the Atlanta area when
they first arrive at ASC, social life is certainly a big
concern in the first few days. So, besides just sponsoring
the dessert coffee, Social Council needs to provide an
activity (during the first weekend) in which freshmen
boys from other schools could be invited to participate.
Since the movie shown during orientation week last year
did not prove to be very successful, maybe an entirely
new twist is needed. One idea would be to have an Old
Fashioned Fall Carnival. Booths could be set up, includ-
ing such things as a fortune telling boo'th, a kissing
booth, and bobbing for apples. In addition, art majors
could be paid to sketch portraits at a reasonable price,
and refreshments could be sold. A folk singer could then
close what would hopefully be a pleasant evening with
the opposite sex, away from the agony of a freshman
mixer.

man's college only affords the opportunity to socialize
with one's date's friends. The formal dances, however,
provide the unique opportunity to be with one's own
friends in a dating situation. Hopefully, therefore, these
dances will become a permanent part of our social life.

PAPADOR: This year, the time, effort, and money put
into Black Cat produced an overwhelming result - an
observably successful student initiated venture. That in
itself is to me an unquestionably worthy accomplish-
ment.

YOUNG: The big dances are certainly worth everything
put into them. The tremendous support shown for the
Black Cat dance should be evidence enough that stu-
dents are ready for a big dance an event for which
they can dress up and invite dates. I think students
would rather have Social Council spend money on a few
large events than many smaller, less enthusiastic ones.
These dances often give students a chance to invite out-
of-town guests for the weekend, also.

3. Detail the programs that you think Social Council
should sponsor. How can Social Council encourage stu-
dents to take advantage of these programs?

MIDDLETON: The coming year will present Social
Council with still greater opportunities and responsibili-
ties in serving the student body. Through the efforts of
the council and the entire Agnes Scott community, we
will be able to sponsor more activities of interest to
every student at Agnes Scott, which will include contin-
uing the formal dance with constant efforts for even
greater success, continuing the date dinners with greater
frequency, continuing the mixers with more planning
and variety, and initiating informal activities such as vol-
ley ball tournaments with groups at Emory and Tech.
Furthermore, we should pursue the opportunities avail-
able to us in group rates for such activities as evenings at
Underground or the Barn Dinner Theater, Agnes Scott
Day at Six Flags or Stone Mountain, or even trips to

PAGE 7

Nassau or Sky Valley Ski Resort. In essence, we should
be functioning as a unifying spirit in the college com-
munity here at Scott, and as a liaison with other cam-
puses in the area. These goals and successful partici-
pation in the activities they set forth can be achieved
simply by better organization, publicity, and enthusiasm
on the part of the Social Council board.

PAPADOR: Because Social Council, like all other major
boards, is limited to a certain budget allotment every
year, a projection toward possible future programs at
this point would be premature and arbitrary. Many of
the programs sponsored this year by Social Council -
the dances and the mixers in particular - exhibited a
great potential for continued successful implementation.
The goal of next year's council should be to re-evaluate
these existing programs, resulting in a continuation and
expansion of those which proved successful and a reor-
ganization and modification of those which failed to
elicit favorable student response. Repeated success is
encouragement in itself.

YOUNG: As has been stated, I think we should defi-
nitely continue the precedent set this year of having a
big dance in the fall and one in the spring. I also think
the mixers should be tried again, in an attempt to pro-
vide students (including upperclassmen) with an oppor-
tunity to meet guys from fraternities at Georgia Tech
and Emory, but with a more efficient sign-up policy
perhaps.

An outdoor concert and style show in the spring,
movies in the Hub, and a campus-wide Vaudeville show
in the winter would all be feasible possibilities for the
year ahead. Also, at various Saturdays throughout the
year, Social Council could sponsor an ASC Day at the
Zoo, Stone Mountain, or Six Flags, in which reduced
tickets could be sold. I think a Social Council drive, at
the beginning of fall quarter, to determine what type of
events students would be most likely to support, would
be very helpful in deciding what additional activities to
sponsor.

Candidates for PROFILE Editor -JAN FRED-
RICKSON and JOYCE McKEE

1. What do you think the students expect from the
PROFILE?

FREDRICKSON: The students expect accurate, un-
biased coverage of campus news, and fair, intelligent
treatment of issues affecting the college. They expect to
be kept up to date on the activities of Student Govern-
ment and boards. Students should be able to find back-
ground information on speakers coming to the campus
as well as cultural events in the Atlanta area.

As far as nationil, state, and local news is concerned,
the PROFILE should not be expected to duplicate the
Journal or the Constitution. But in the case of issues like
the presidential election or the ERA, a school newspaper-
such as ours can deal with the aspects of these which are
most important to its readers.

The students expect a balanced, rational presentation
of controversial subjects and matters of opinion.

McKEE: I think students expect a concise, well-written
newspaper to inform them of campus events and oppor-
tunities in the Atlanta area, to entertain them by focus-
ing on the unusual, and to provoke them with editorials
and student opinion about campus problems, activities,
and the world at large. Students also expect the news-
paper to provide a forum when they wish to express a
particular viewpoint.

The editor's responsibility also involves thoughtful
suggestions for the solution to a problem or a fresh per-
spective on an existing situation. The editor's writing
should be of a constructive nature, not merely an airing
of her own gripes.

I would consider points of view, weighing them
against each other and against my own. I would try to be
open-minded without being wishy-washy. The PROFILE
is the students', not the editor's paper; the editor, how-
ever, must know where she can bend and where she must
stand firm.

2. What do you think the paper should emphasize?

FREDRICKSON: The paper should emphasize full and
complete news coverage, interesting and informative fea-
tures, and constructive student opinion. It provides stu-
dents with news of their community which they would
not otherwise get except by chance in scattered places.
The paper should thus coordinate the news and fill gaps
in general knowledge in order to straighten out con-
fusion or misunderstanding.

The paper should also emphasize opportunities for
involvement outside Scott. Many organizations send us
material describing possibilities ranging from volunteer
service to travel. The paper can publish helpful infor-
mation from sources with which individual students may
not be familiar.

McKEE: The paper's first responsibility is to report news
accurately. This news should include an emphasis on up-
coming events on and off campus. The reader is better
served by a notification of an event so that she may
participate or attend than by a synopsis of what hap-
pened in next week's issue. A newspaper is also respon-
sible for providing perspective - a large framework
within which single events can be viewed. This is one
function of the feature article, a form well suited to the
format of the PROFILE.

3. As editor, you will be able to communicate your
views to the students. How do you intend to use this
responsibility?

FREDRICKSON: As editor, I would try to learn all I
could about any matter on which I expressed my views.
Informed opinion is the only kind which should appear
in an editorial.

McKEE: In editorials, the editor of the newspaper
should be, at one time or another, a spokesman for cre-
ative, meaningful change, a voice of sanity, an exhorter,
a campus conscience, and sometimes, the editor should
be silent. No editor is always right or even sure which
role is the one most needed by the campus at that parti-
cular time. The editor's responsibility is to think, to
choose carefully the role to play or stand to take, and to
retain a sense of humor and an ability to accept criti-
cism.

4. What role should the PROFILE play in allowing the
campus community to express opinions?

FREDRICKSON: The PROFILE is the only effective
means of expressing student opinion to the entire popu-
lation of Agnes Scott at once. Besides reaching our own
administration, faculty, and students, it is sent to assort-
ed subscribers, including other colleges and universities.
Student opinion, then, tells others as well as ourselves
about what we're thinking.

I would like the campus community to feel free to
express opinions. This has stimulated a good deal of
thought in the past. Something is wrong when no one
has strong enough feelings about anything to care what
is thought either way.

McKEE: The editorial page of the paper is designed to
air views. Although I feel that the editor should adopt a
stand on important campus issues, a diversity of opinion
is also desirable. These opinions can be expressed
through guest or dissenting editorials, letters to the edi
tor, and columns. This facet of the newspaper's overall
responsibility is especially important as Scott is in a
period of reassessment of both academic and social goals
and regulations.

PROFILE / March 21, 1973

Candidates for CA President - LEO NIT A WORTH
and DEBBIE WELCH

1. CA often has very good programs, but the attendance
is poor. What can be done?

WELCH: Attendance at many events on campus this
year, including CA-sponsored programs, has indeed been
poor. I think the problem basically is one of time or the
lack of it. All of us here at Scott are kept pretty busy at
our books and typewriters. We have little free time and
simply cannot go to all the programs sponsored by every
organization on campus. Each of us has to decide how
she is going to spend her free hours and who could
blame anyone who opted to spend it at Farrell's or P by
C, or just anywhere off campus. Therefore, I believe it is
CA's responsibility to seek out the needs of students on
this campus and then sponsor programs specifically de-
signed to meet those needs and interests.

WORTH: I sould suggest better publicity and more care-
ful planning of CA programs in the future.

2. Do you think CA should emphasize service projects or
religious programs? What other emphases?

WELCH: I do not think we should attempt to draw a
line between religion and service. Service is where we put
our religious ideals into action, and I believe that it is in
serving each other that we best fulfill and express our
faith. Agnes Scott has always been marked by a close-
ness among its members. Here, there is an atmosphere of
caring; people are concerned about each other. One of
the best ways CA could serve this campus next year is by
maintaining and providing opportunities for the expres-
sion of this one-to-one sharing of friendship and
concern.

WORTH: I see no need to emphasize service projects
over religious programs or vice versa, because service is
the natural expression of one's religious commitment.

3. What specifically that CA has done this year would
you like to continue next year? What additional pro-
grams would you like to see begun?

WELCH: Above all, Christian Association of Agnes Scott
must continue to fulfill the function for which it was
created - a place, a time, an opportunity for Scotties to
come together to share with each other the love which
Christ first gave us.

One evening which a lot of Agnes Scott students will
always remember is their first vesper service with Dr.
Alston shortly after they arrived in September of their
freshman year. Many upperclassmen return to that brief
service year after year to feel again the special warmth
and joy of coming together to share with each other
quiet thought and worship of God. Though we will not
have Dr. Alston to lead us next year, what better way
could we honor him than by continuing one of his best
programs? In the spring evenings ahead of us, why not
set aside a short time after supper, perhaps once a week,
before we have to hit the books again that night, to
come together in the amphitheater for a quiet time of
prayer and sharing. Secondly, Christians have the best
reason in the world for happiness and laughter. I think
there should be more CA-sponsored programs like the
one this quarter in which students from Scott and Tech
got together for a couple of games of volley ball. No-
body minded losing and everyone had a great afternoon.
Thirdly, in our lives here at Scott, we must be careful
never to forget the world around us and our responsibi-
lity to ask ourselves what we can do to help.

WORTH: A series of informal gatherings were held this
year in Dr. Alston's office for the specific purpose of
praying for the selection of a new President. This was a
community event and well received by the- students. I
think a similar meeting should be held during each quar-
ter to pray for other such needs arising in the campus
community.

1. How do you intend to increase student participation
in the various sports (both as spectators and as actual
participants)?

DICK: The initial problem here lies with the board. We
must be enthusiastic about what we're doing, and hope-
fully this enthusiasm will spread to the students who will
be encouraged to participate more and/or watch.

Forming dorm teams in certain sports often creates a
closer knit group with a keener sense of competition, so
we will try to do this whenever possible. Equalizing the
teams and encouraging everyone (not just "jocks") is
equally important. Since student participation is a major
concern, I hope the new board will devote much of their
time to a solution.

2. Do you feel there is a need for Scott to participate in
sports on an intercollegiate basis?

DICK: It has been the policy for Agnes Scott not to
engage too much in intercollegiate competition. It was
felt that this would cut down on student participation
and limit the number of sports areas that the average
not-too-athletic-type would or could enter, thereby
limiting our service to this student and the overall cam-
pus. It's expensive, too - association lees, travel ex-
pense, uniforms, referees, letc, I do not really feel that
there is a need for it on this campus until there is more
support and interest on the students' part. It's been fair-
ly successful in field hockey and tennis for limited
engagements, but as in basketball, it is sometimes hard
to tind students who will commit themselves, and this is
a very important aspect of intercollegiate sports.

3. Is there any way to speed up the purchase of the
tennis court lights?

DICK: I hope there is, hut I haven't found it yet. We've
worked on both the alumnae association and the admini-

Candidate for A A President - KA REN DICK

stration with little success. Our only hope lies in either a
cut of the new budget that is currently being raised or
AA projects to earn money, which is a long, slow pro-
cess. Obtaining tennis court lights is one of my personal
goals, which I hope to see fulfilled before I graduate, and
student support will probably be mandatory if this is to
be accomplished.

4. What do you want AA to accomplish under your
leadership?

DICK: As I have already said, my main personal goal is
to see the installment of tennis court lights which would
benefit the entire campus. Also, I would like AA to
begin taking a more active part in acquainting the Scott
student with area activities. For example, we hope to
make transportation available to the Peachtree Corners
International Tennis Classic, March 19-25, 1973. This
will get the student (especially freshmen and other stu-
dents without cars) out into Atlanta and other areas
which will "broaden her horizons" (which is a cliche),
but gets across the point that the students need to get
away from Agnes Scott every now and then to regain
their perspective through other outlets of activity apart
from school life.

Library hou

This quarter the library is
open until 11:30 p.m. on
Wednesday nights. It is to be
used as a study area, but not
in the sense of a dorm study;
this way an accurate count
may be made of how many
students actually use the
library for the extra hour.

The librarians will not stay
any later. A student on
scholarship and Mr. Stewart,
who has volunteered his time,

rs extended

will De there.

This extension of library
hours resulted from much
study by a REP Council com-
mittee consisting of Clare
Smith. There will be a
recommendation from REP
later in the spring. If longer
hours are found to be a good
thing, the recommendation
will be one step toward
permanently later hours.

THE PROFILE / April 12, 1973

They're all alike ... all she wanted
was my body

Ways and Means

One topic of student government election speeches was the
sense of frustration here. There is a general feeling among stu-
dents that no significant changes can be made, even through the
proper channels. This was exemplified by the much-lamented
failure to change the drinking policy.

On the other hand, consider the changes in curriculum require-
ments, dorm closing hours, election procedure, and (hopefully
lasting) library hours. Things can get done, but it takes time.

Timing itself plays an important part in certain kinds of
change. Matters such as library hours are chiefly determined by
practicality; the drinking policy involves various levels of abstract
thinking as well. The last few years have brought many changes
which at one time would have been outrageous. We are at least
willing to think about much more now.

It has been said that nothing can stop an idea whose time has
come. The ones whose time has already come are in operation.
For others attempted prematurely, it has not yet come, but there
are future possibilities.

We should not hesitate to use the means at our disposal to get
things moving in any direction, not just drinking, which makes a
fairly dramatic example. Don't imagine something is hopeless just
because it can't happen tomorrow. Be willing to take the time to
do things right; you'll be surprised at what you can accomplish.

God so loved the world that He did not send a committee, but
in the case of REP Council, it is an excellent place to begin.

To the Editor:

We resent and deplore the
smear tactics used in trying to
discredit Dr. Benjamin Mays,
speaker at convocation on
Wednesday, February 28. A
sheet dotted with references to

The Daily Worker was placed in
the mailroom, presumably to
"educate" Agnes Scott College
in the dangers of having Dr.
Mays speak here. If the intention
was to present a fair survey of
Dr. Mays' accomplishments, why
was no reference made to the
coverage of his work by The
New York Times, or even The
Atlanta Constitution?

We only hope that this
stealthy practice will backfire.
One would conclude from the
sheet that 'Good Americans,'
i.e., those who are opposed to
Dr. Mays' positions, must ap-

prove of lynching, abuse of the
foreign-born, the NAACP,
discrimination in higher educa-
tion, and war as a general prin-
ciple; they must likewise oppose
human welfare, civil rights, equal
justice, and constitutional liber-
ties.

We would like to register our
shock at the ethical callousness
of those who distributed this
sheet.

Sincerely,
Mark Siegchrist

Before we begin any discus-
sion of God's view of human
sexuality, we need to know what
God claims about the Bible. In II
Timothy 3: 16-17, we read: "All
Scripture is inspired by God and
profitable for teaching, for re-
proof, for correction, for train-
ing in righteousness; that the
man of God may be adequate,
equipped for every good work."
Literally, the word "inspired"
means "God-breathed." There-
fore, the Bible is God's way of
talking to man.

Human sexuality, and sexual
intercourse itself, was God's idea
originally. We can know that sex
is beautiful because it is beau-
tiful by God's standards - the
highest standards. We can also be
sure that God knows the best
way for His gift to function as a
good gift; His laws limiting
sexual intercourse to marriage
are not chains, but the means of
preserving the gift.

God carefully includes His
view of the man-woman relation-
ship in Genesis. But before
making man, God made plants
and animals with sexuality
(Genesis 11 and 22). And then
"God saw that it was good." He
was not exalting Himself; He was
telling mankind for all ages that
the animal and plant part of cre-
ation was good - good with its
sexuality.

But God did not stop here.
He went on to create man with
the ability to choose whether to
follow God. Since we must
know what mankind is before
understanding his sexuality, we
see that He declares: "And God

created man in His own image,
in the image of God He created
him; male and female He created
them." God creates man and
woman as being equal in God's
image.

A personal God makes a man
who is personal and a woman

who is personal. Because they
are both personal, they can
relate to each other, and they
can relate to God who was per-
sonal before they existed.

Before the fall, God blesses
them and tells them to be "fruit-
ful and multiply, and fill the
earth, and subdue it." Besides
being the only- divine assignment
that man has ever completed,
this assignment shows that the
fall was not the result of the first
sexual act; God intended sexual
intercourse from the beginning.

The second chapter of
Genesis gives us more informa-
tion about the man-woman rela-
tionship. God said, "It is not
good for the man to be alone; I
will make him a helper suitable
for him." The word "suitable"
literally means "corresponding
to." Adam needs someone cor-
responding to him, yet different:
a unity in diversity.

God creates Eve from Adam's
rib; Adam says that she is "bone
of my bones and flesh of my
flesh." God does not create

woman as an afterthought. Be-
fore making Eve, He has made
animals and plants with sexu-
ality, and He has made Adam a
sexual being who knows he has
no one corresponding to him. He
already has the plan of human
sexuality. Perhaps He postpones
Eve's creation so that Adam will
recognize his own incomplete-
ness.

The creation of woman from
Adam's rib does not imply in-
feriority, but unity in diversity.
Genesis 2: 24 says: "For this
cause a man shall leave his father
and his mother and shall cleave
to his wife; and they shall be-
come one flesh." Here God or-
dains the institution of marriage
as the first human institution.
The phrase "one flesh" implied
to the Jews something much
deeper than the physical union;
it was the union of two whole
personalities. Therefore, such a
special union was designed for
marriage - a permanent rather
than a short-term commitment.

Alumna publishes

by JOYCE McKEE
Associate Editor

In an interview with The
Profile, Susan Skinner, newly
elected head of the Student
Government Association, out-
lined the major concerns of her
administration, emphasizing the
need "to set a mood on campus
. . . of excitement and enthusi-
asm both academically and
socially."

Skinner states that SGA and
the entire campus need to "pre-
pare for Dr. Perry" by "re-
evaluating all areas" including all
major boards and policies.
Skinner stresses the need for
"improving the good things that
are here" rather than changing
too much too fast.

president's is for one time each
week to be set aside as the meet-
ing time for the heads of the

The freshman class, with the
help of Miss McKemie, is spon-
soring a series of "play-days"
with the male students of other
area colleges and universities, in-
cluding Georgia Tech, Emory,
and hopefully, Georgia State.
The purpose of these "play-
days" is to give us girls a chance
for some coeducational activity
and to meet some guys\ A "play-
day" consists of a weekend
afternoon of playing tennis,
frisbees, volleyball, and even
going swimming (Girls, you have
to change in your dorms!) with
the men.

Needless to say, such a union
can occur onJy between two
people who are different but
equally valuable.

When the fall occurs, the man
and woman are held equally re-
sponsible before God. Eve re-
ceives no worse penalty than
Adam. Adam is assigned the role
of breadwinner a role which
fallen man later distorts into
materialism. Eve becomes sub-
ject to her husband - a role
which places the husband at the
head of the family but does not
entitle him to be her taskmaster.

THIS AFTERNOON

Dr. Martin Meisel, professor
of English at Columbia Univer-
sity, will speak on "The Politics
of Domestic Realism" (Genre
Painting and the Popular Drama
in 1832) at Emory University
today at 4:00 p.m. in Room
201, Old Law School Building.

Dr. Meisel is a specialist in
19th century fiction, European
drama from the 17th century to
the present, and Elizabethan
drama. A former Guggenheim

Christian Association, Board of
Student Activities, Arts Council,
Orientation Council, Athletic
Association, Interdorm, and
Honor Court. Skinner states that
"more interaction is heeded
among all board heads" to help
"unify the campus" while still
allowing for delegation of re-
sponsibility to the proper area.

Skinner's main emphasis is
her desire "to lead a movement"
to change the mood on campus
- "to eliminate those grumpy
negative attitudes; to show
healthy positive ones." The
president-elect states that one
problem on campus is "academic
pressure" which leads to a "daily
grind" rather than "intellectual
excitement." This problem, she
notes, can be solved only with

The first "play-day" was held
April 1 with Emory; the next
one is scheduled for April 14
with Tech, and the rain date for
that one is the following day,
Sunday, April 15. It is hoped
that a date can be arranged for
Georgia State; however, if one
cannot, Miss McKemie hopes to
establish "play-days" next fall,
perhaps even before Black Cat,
and Georgia State will be on
campus then.

There is only one aspect of
the "play-days" that needs to be
fixed, and that is the fact that
the volleyball games tend to ruin

A CHRISTIAN VIEW OF SEX
(continued from page 2)

In Ephesians 5: 23 and 25,
God develops this idea more
fully. "For the husband is the
head of the wife, even as Christ
is the head of the church"; and
"Husbands, love your wives,
even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it
. . . " This comparison between
the Christ-believer relationship
and the man-woman relationship
was the highest mataphor Paul
could imagine. A relationship
founded on love certainly would
not be one in which the man

the cooperation of faculty and
administration. She states that
the Committee on Academic
Problems can be the medium
through which these problems
are tackled.

An orientation for freshmen
that continues through winter
quarter is another proposal of
Skinner's. She states that Orien-
tation is important for "campus
integration; we need the vitality
of sophomores and freshmen
and the experience of juniors
and seniors."

Skinner states that she wants
"openness" to be the keynote of
her administration. She empha-
sizes that she is available to each
student whether she has a speci-
fic proposal, a problem, or wants
to sound-off about some campus
issue.

ber of men from Emory showed

squelches the woman's individu-
ality, or vice versa, any more
than God would squelch the per-
sonality of the believer.

Interestingly, chapter 4 of
Genesis begins with human sexu-
ality after the fall: "Now the
man had relations with his wife
Eve, and she conceived and gave
birth to Cain, and she said, 1
have gotten a manchild with the
help of the Lord'." Although
prone to man's misuse, sexual
intercourse was still beautiful in
God's eyes after the fall.

To Be Lead By
DR. ALSTON

-APRIL 22-

6:30 A.M.

AMPHITHEATRE

Countless military men have
written books about their varied
experiences in serving Uncle Sam
around the globe. But how do
their wives, who sometimes ac-
company them, occupy their
time while their husbands are
busy with official duties?

That question is answered in
Army Wife in Germany (Exposi-
tion Press, Inc., New York.
$3.50), a blithe-spirited book by
Molli Oliver Mertel, wife of
Colonel Kenneth D. Mertel, who
tells of her two eventful years in
the late 1960s at a U. S. Army
aviation post just outside the
tucked away, medieval town of
Schwaebisch Hall in Germany.

In Schwaebisch Hall, as the
wife of the Post Commander of
Dolan Barracks, Mrs. Mertel
found life to be full, exciting,
and spiced with surprises. That
she was new in her role of Army
wife added to the sense of ad-
venture and sometimes provided
a humorous twist to life.

Once at a tea, an officer's

wife whispered to her that there
was a woman in the troops' bar-
racks. Mrs. Mertel couldn't wait
to tell her husband, who merely
laughed. "Don't you know," he
said, "that is the first rumor you
always hear on a post?"

After a couple of similar in-
stances, Mrs. Mertel recalled that
Bernard Baruch had once said

Candi Lowe, a talented and
attractive young singer who con-
siders herself a liberated woman,
will perform soon on the Agnes
Scott campus. She sings in a soft
rock style, sometimes composing
her own songs from her personal
experience, sometimes singing
popular hits. Her original music
has a very captivating sound;
occasionally, the lyrics reveal a
piquant wit. With a natural and
personal speaking style, she
intersperses her songs with recol-
lections of her life before know-
ing Christ and reflections about
the change He makes in her life.

In 1 967, Candi graduated
with a B.A. in Spanish from
Converse College, Spartanburg,
South Carolina. She completed a
year of graduate work at the
University of Georgia, and then
returned to her home, Orlando,
Florida, to teach. She studied
piano for eight years and began
composing her own songs at age
13. With this background, she
joined The New Folk, a Chris-
tian light rock singing group.

Traveling as a soloist now,
Candi is touring the United

to present

Stewart
in concert

The Music Club is proud to
present Mrs. Janet Stewart,
soprano, in a concert on Tues-
day afternoon, April 17, at 3:30
p.m. in Maclean auditorium.
Mrs. Stewart is the wife of our
librarian, Mr. George Stewart.
She received her Master of Music
degree from the University of
Colorado in 1966 and since then
has had many roles in various
operas and has appeared as
feature soloist in various cham-
ber recitals and musical presenta-
tions.

Mrs. Stewart's debut was
made in // Trovatore with the
Denver Lyric Opera in 1967.
Among those works in which
Mrs. Stewart has appeared as
feature soloist are Brahms' A
German Requiem, Verdi's
Requiem Mass, Barber's Andro-
mache's Farewell, and Bach's
Saint Matthew Passion. Just re-
cently she appeared with the
Atlanta Symphony with Robert
Shaw conducting Benjamin Brit-
ten's War Requiem.

Mrs. Stewart has been a fre-
quent finalist in several national
music contests, among them the
Rocky Mountain regional winner
of the Metropolitan Opera audi-
tions in 1967; in 1968 she repre-
sented the Southeast in the
National Association of Teachers
of Singing Artists Awards. Mrs.
Stewart teaches voice at Emory
University and is the soprano
soloist at the Cathedral of Christ
the King in Atlanta.

The Music Club is pleased to
present such a fine and out-
standing soloist as Mrs. Stewart.

for college students and
women's groups. She has a
special message for single
women. "I've seen a growing

The Agnes Scott Glee Club
has received an invitation from
the American Council for Na-
tionalities Service to conduct a
three-week tour in Rumania
either this summer or next. The
club was recommended to the'
Council by a professor of French
at West Georgia College and was
invited without any further
screening.

The tour would include some
twelve performances, and the
club would function as am-
bassadors of friendship on a re-
ciprocal interest and knowledge
exchange basis. Some subsidy
will be provided by the Ru-
manian government and by The
Reader's Digest, and, although
the bulk of the expense would
fall to the club, the price, in
comparison to other tours, is
very reasonable.

Mr. Mathews feels that the
club will not be able to accept
the tour for this summer because
of the expense and the repertory
requested by the Rumanian
government. Sacred or evan-
gelical music is banned in Ru-
mania from all formal concerts,
and lighter music is preferred.

girls," she remarks. "By sharing
with them the joy Christ brings
to my life, I hope to help them
be free to be themselves."

Candi Lowe is coming to
Agnes Scott on April 24. She
will perform for an hour - 6:30
to 7:30 p.m. - in the amphi-
theatre if the weather is fair, and
in the Rebekah Reception Room
if the weather is rainy. Ad-
mission is free.

The G ! ee Club is seriously con-
sidering the tour for next year.

The campus will have a
chance to hear the music that
made our Glee Club famous
internationally at the Easter pro-
gram, to be held April 18 at
8:15 p.m. in Gaines Chapel. The
tentative program is "The Joy
and Sorrow of Easter," including
music from the Renaissance to
the 20th century.

Pieces of special interest are
the Agnus Dei by Bizet, featur-
ing Mrs. Deanna Ramsey
(soprano soloist), accompanied
by Lou Anne Cassels (violinist),
Barbara Phillips (organist), and
Eleanor Perkins (pianist); the
Belle Chorus (the 5th movement
from the Third Symphony) by
Gustav Mahler, featuring Miss
Susan Stigall (alto soloist), ac-
companied by Eleanor Perkins
(pianist), Barbara Phillips and
Marianne Brinker (percussion-
ists); and The Last Supper, writ-
ten by John Corrina of the Uni-
versity of Georgia in 1970 on
commission from the Hollins
College Choir, to a poem by
Oscar Williams, accompanied by
Eleanor Perkins on piano and
Barbara Phillips on percussion.

Rep Council plans self-study for Perry

REP Council has initiated an
SGA Self-Study covering aspects
of student organizations and stu-
dent life which will inform Dr.
Perry of the major concerns of
the student body and the major
plans of student government.

Under RC 156, an ad hoc
Steering Committee has been
formed to institute this study,

which is designed to define the
areas of student life in which
major improvement can be made
and to offer alternatives and
solutions to problems within
these areas.

Each organization is being
asked to submit, as material to
be included in a questionnaire to
be answered by the student

Mehnert to talk on
Sino- Soviet conflict

by JAN LEE

On May 7-8, the Agnes Scott
community will host Dr. Klaus
Mehnert. He will be speaking on
"The Sino-Soviet Conflict" as
seen from the U.S.S.R., China,
and twelve other Asian countries
in 1971-72.

Dr. Mehnert was born in Mos-
cow, Russia, of German parents.
He received his Ph.D. from the
University of Berlin in 1928.
Since that time he has served as
a TV and radio commentator,
magazine editor, university pro-
fessor, and former government
official.

He has traveled twelve times
around the world, spending five
years each in the U.S.S.R.,
China, and the United States.
Dr. Mehnert is the author of
nine books, most of which deal
with China and Russia. Some of
these include Youth in Soviet
Russia, Stalin vs. Marx, Soviet
Man and His World, Peking and
Moscow, and Peking and the
New Left.

Following a visit to Agnes
Scott on April 2-3 for the pur-
pose of evaluating the college ac-
cording to its Self-Study, the
Visiting Committee of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools made an oral report
to Dr. Alston. Dean Gary and
Mrs. Young, Chairman of the
Self-Study Committee, attended
by invitation of the President.

Each member of the visita-
tion team concentrated on some
particular aspect of the college
and reported briefly on that
aspect to Dr. Alston. Each mem-
ber will write a report which
goes to Dr. Abernethy, Chair-
man of the Visiting Committee
and Professor of English at

In his latest book, China Re-
turns (1972), Dr. Mehnert points
out that in the eyes of the
Chinese leaders, at present and
for the foreseeable future, the
U.S.S.R. is far more dangerous
than the U.S.A. He further states
that the tensions between Mos-
cow and Peking are not the re-
sult of border disputes.

body, the major goals, issues, or
problems with which it is con-

and REP Council are the prime
movers in this purely organiza-
tional part of the study.

The material is to be present-
ed in the following form:

/. Define the goal, issue, or
problem.

2. State the possible meth-
od(s) of dealing with this situa-
tion, including any proposed im-
plementation of a new system or
change in a present one.

3. List any specific details
concerning the situation, its al-
ternative (s), or its solution (s)
that you would like to see in-
cluded in the questionnaire.

Please indicate the priority of
each item you discuss.

The emphasis of this study is
not on problems as such, but on
alternatives, solutions, and im-
provements. After organizations
have been solicited in the above
manner, students will be consult-
ed in a REP call meeting to be
announced at a later date.

The questionnaire, an evalu-
ation and projection based on
the student body as a whole, will
involve all students during the
last two weeks of the quarter.
The information thus gained will
be compiled and analyzed for
presentation to Dr. Perry the
first part of fall quarter. It is de-
signed to give him an idea of stu-
dent opinion and a comprehen-
sive view of the situation as a

whole, avoiding small details.

Steering Committee members
are Leila Kinney, Mary Margaret
MacLauchlin, Betty Binkley,
Ann Christensen, Mary Gay Mor-

Gretchen Schulz and Mr. Kwai
Sing Chang, who worked on the
student personnel section of the
February, 1972 college-wide
self-study, are assisting the com-
mittee.

The purpose of this large-
scale study is a unified presenta-
tion. Information will be drawn
from smaller such studies in the
past which, because of their
limited size, failed to have the
impact anticipated by the cur-
rent SGA study.

Responsibility shifts in
Dean of Students office

Senator Cleland speaks
on reform in Ga. Senate

by KAY PINCKNEY

Attention Scotties! Your
official representative in the
Georgia State Senate (that is, if
you are registered to vote in
Decatur), Hon. Max Cleland, will
speak at chapel on Thursday,
May 10, at 1 1 :30 a.m. in Re-
bekah Recreation Room on the
subject "Reform in the Georgia
Senate."

Max is currently serving his
second term in the Georgia
Senate, and, at the age of 30, is
the second youngest member of
that body. He is the first and
only Vietnam Veteran to serve

in the Senate and has been a
leading catalyst in bringing the
problems of returning veterans
and handicapped people to
greater public awareness. A
former U. S. Army Captain, Max
was wounded in Vietnam in
1968 by a grenade explosion and
received the Bronze and Silver
Stars for his service.

During the 1973 session of
the Georgia legislature, an un-
successful effort was made by
many state senators, of whom
Max Cleland was one, to change
the rules by which the Georgia
Senate is run, to streamline
(continued on page 5)

by JOYCE McKEE

The Dean of Students' Office
has been reorganized with a shift
of responsibilities to take effect
at the beginning of the
1973-1974 academic year.

Miss Murphy will now head
the Office of Career Planning;
Miss Currie will work with the
student service program; and
Miss Merrick will have the re-
sponsibility for all housing. Both
Miss Currie and Miss Merrick will
continue their current responsi-
bilities with the sophomore and
freshman classes.

Dean Jones states that the
shift "places a different focus on
the way staff members spend
their time" out of "a desire to
better meet the needs of the stu-
dents." The change in the Voca-
tional Office is due to a need
that has been realized for several
years, Miss jones explains. Since
the head of the Vocational
Office was employed only for
ten months out of the year, re-
sponsibilities of the office were
assumed during the summer by
the Office of the Dean of Facul-

ty. The Office of Career Plan-
ning will now be Miss Murphy's
full-time year-round concern.
Miss Jones states that this ar-
rangement should enable "stu-
dents, recent graduates, and
alumnae to be better assisted."

Miss Currie will assume Miss
Murphy's former duties as
director of the student service
program. Hopefully, Miss Jones
states, this shift will mean more
time to counsel the individual
student and better satisfy stu-
dents, administration, and
faculty.

Dean Jones emphasizes that
these changes are part of an "on-
going effort" by the Dean's
Office to do the "best possible ,
job." She mentions the changes
in 1969-1971 in which Miss
Merrick, Miss Currie, and Miss
Murphy moved out of the resi-
dence halls and assumed their
current positions as the first in a
series of adjustments to changing
student needs and wishes. Miss
Jones states that for next year it
is a "good plan" and that the
staff feels that it will be success-
tul.

"} 7 5, things are really easing up."

Go ahead & say it

After a lengthy discussion of the relative merits of different
methods of teaching and the major hindrances to learning, those
present at the open meeting held April 17 prior to the AAUP meet-
ing agreed that the main problem is student-faculty relations.

It is useless to generalize about the advantages and disadvantages
of lecture versus discussion in the classroom; balance is achieved
differently within each course. Many possibilities exist for combina-
tion to allow students and teachers to prepare most effectively.

Specific problems mentioned were lack of time for involvement
due to work load, papers handed back late and/or without com-
ments, sudden changes in exam format, and variances in grading
scales, which are sometimes not even known. Some weeks are worse
than exam weeks when several tests and papers fall due at once.

Every student is painfully aware of these problems, but they
cannot be solved until we get rid of discrepancies between what
students and teachers want and expect from each other. It is the
responsibility of both to make this plain; nothing can be done if
nothing is ciear either way.

Even students who feel free to discuss specific learning problems
with professors do not feel so free to throw rocks at their teaching
methods. In some cases the way in which a course is conducted is
worked out by the class as a whole where there is both room for and
need for more than one method.

"Busy work" was defined as something a particular individual is
not interested in. This lack of interest is generally caused by an
inability to see the relationship between what one is doing and what
one is supposed to be learning. We need to do more than just com-
plain about this sort of thing. Students and faculty should be able to
come right out and communicate instead of second-guessing each
other.

Communication is not only possible, but vital to the revival of the
intellectual excitement which we keep saying we've lost.

Major League

I hinking the idea of acquainting freshmen and sophomores with
the departments from which they will choose their major a good
one, I dropped in on one of the meetings in which this was being
done. I found thyself wishing that they'd done this when my class
could have benefited from it.

I would like to see the program become an annual thing. Perhaps
similar meetings could be arranged to answer questions about the
changes in the curriculum for anyone who needs help making plans
for the remainder of her college career. (See article on page 3.)

Dear Student Body:

The Prospective Students'
Weekend was a big success, and
Mortar Board thanks the student
body and the campus com-
munity as a whole for its willing
and enthusiastic support. One
hundred and eight girls came to
see Agnes Scott, and we never
could have made accommoda-
tions for that number of people
without everyone's help. Al-
ready we have received many
notes from our visitors thanking
us for the time they spent here.

This weekend gave us a
chance to meet some of next
year's freshmen and it gave them
a type of pre-orientation in

HERE AND NOW

which to become acquainted
with the campus and to become
excited about coming next fall.
Allowing them to stay in the
dorms offered these girls a look
at dormitory life, and many have
requested the dorms in which
they stayed. Thank you for let-
ting them stay in your rooms.
The girls indicated that many of
their questions were answered.

Thank you hostesses for
taking them around the campus,
to classes, and to the various
activities. I heard very positive
reactions to the hours they spent
in classes, and the response on
the part of the faculty and the
department chairmen was most

helpful.

Of course, the weekend could
never have been carried out
without the many cars for trans-
portation. Thank you, drivers!

Mortar Board feels that the
weekend was a great oppor-
tunity for the campus to show
high school students what our
life is like. By helping the Ad-
missions Office, we joined in a
united effort to help the campus
and ourselves. Enthusiasm and a
concern for the community
spread. Hopefully,, we can con-
tinue the excitement this spring,
and let it carry over into next
year. Again, thanks for the help!

Christian view of sex - part II

(ED/TOR'S NOTE: This is
the second of two columns deal-
ing with a Christian idea of sex.
Future "Here and Now" col-
umns will deal with other areas
of religious concern.)

by ANGELYNN McGUFF

God intends physical pleas-
ure, within marriage, to be a part
of human sexuality. He uses the
Song of Solomon to communi-
cate His purpose. One partner is
not the other's sexual object;
rather, the two belong to each
other: "My beloved is mine, and
I am his." The Christian can
possess real joy because God
frankly describes a vital sexual
relationship. The woman says:
"My beloved is to me a pouch of
myrrh, / Which lies all night
between my breasts"; and the
man declares: "Your stature is
like a palm tree, / And your
breasts are like its clusters. I
said, 'I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit
stalks.' "

The Song destroys the notion
that Christianity is anti-sexual.
Wiihin the Christian framework,
the flesh has its place, but is not
the total of existence. Although
Solomon was polygamous in his
youth, he apparently came to
realize that only monogamy was
acceptable to God. In Proverbs,
Solomon says: "Drink water
from your own cistern ... re-
joice in the wife of your youth."

He goes on to warn repeated-
ly against adultery and prostitu-
tion, and realizes from personal
experience that the misuse of
sexuality can have severe
psychological consequences, say-
ing: "Can a man take fire in his
bosom, / And his clothes not be
burned?"

He finally comes to advocate
what the Law has said before:
"You shall not commit adul-
tery." In the Old Testament, the
word "adultery" sometimes re-
fers only to extramarital inter-
course, but sometimes to all
non-marital intercourse.

The New Testament reveals
the new covenant between God
and man. Under this covenant,

anyone who accepts Jesus Christ
can obtain forgiveness for all sins
- past, present, and future.
Nevertheless, forgiveness is no
license; rather, forgiveness is the
means for man to be freed from
genuine guilt, so that he can
have an abundant life.

In Romans 6: 1-3, God says
through Paul: "Well, then, shall
we keep on sinning so that God
can keep on showing us more
and more kindness and forgive-
ness? Of course not! Should we
keep on sinning when we don't
have to? For sin's power over us
was broken when we became
Christians ..." This passage re-
fers to all sins, as well as sexual
sins.

Jesus clearly taught that non-
marital intercourse was wrong.
In Mark 7: 21, He said: "For
from within, out of the heart of
men, proceed the evil thoughts
and fornications ..." Webster's
New World Dictionary defines
fornication as "voluntary sexual
intercourse between unmarried
persons."

Various New Testament scrip-
tures - I Corinthians 6: 9;
Ephesians 5: 3; I Thessalonians
4: 3; Jude 7 - specifically de-
clare that fornication is wrong;

but this declaration always oc-
curs in the context of God's for-
giveness for anyone who wants
it. In I Corinthians 6: 16, Paul
says that even casual sexual
intercourse makes two people
"one flesh." If a person becomes
"one flesh" with someone be-
sides his marriage partner, he
will have difficulty being one
with his spouse. Instead of en-
hancing marital sex, premarital
sex makes a happy marriage
more difficult.

Speaking of sexual immorali-
ty, Paul says: "Flee immorality.
Every other sin that a man com-
mits is outside the body, but the
one who practices immorality
sins against his own body."

Contrary to popular belief,
Paul does not dislike human
sexuality, for he says: "... let
,each man have his own wife, and
let each woman have her own
husband . . . The wife does not
have authority over her own
body, but the husband does, and
likewise also the husband does
not have authority over his own
body, but the wife does." There-
fore, the partners belong to each
other in a special one-to-one
relationship, just as they do in
the Song of Solomon.

Curriculum changes given

by ELEANOR PHELPS

The new curriculum, though
containing a number of innova-
tions, retains the following
goals: "... to help the student
gain a basic acquaintance with
the major areas of knowledge -
the humanities, natural sciences
and mathematics, and the social
and behavioral sciences - and
competence in one or two dis-
ciplines. The student achieves
these goals through a program of
distribution of studies, of con-
centration in one or two dis-
ciplines, and of elective work to
meet her special interests."

Requirements for the degree
remain generally the same: 180
quarter hours (minimum); a
quality point ratio of 1.00 ('C)j
residence during the junior and
senior years or three of the four
including the senior year.

Course work taken at another
school must have received a
grade of 'C or above. The senior
year may, with permission of the.
Academic Council and recom-
mendation of the chairman of
the major department and the
Dean of Faculty, be taken else-
where.

Most changes are within the
distributional requirements.
Specific courses required include
a freshman level English course
(101 or 102), a course in Biblical
literature, completion (unless
exemption is granted) of the
intermediate level of a foreign
language (ancient or modern),
and six quarters of physical
education.

Group requirements are as
follows:

/. Literature in the language
of its composition English,
ancient or modern foreign lan-
guage. A minimum of 9 quarter
hours in one discipline.

IRISH CATHOLIC LEADER

2. Art history, classical civili-
zation and history, history,
music history, history of
philosophy, theatre history. A
minimum of 9 quarter hours in
one discipline.

3. Astronomy, biology,
chemistry, mathematics, physics.
A minimum of 14 quarter hours
with at least two quarters of
work in each of two disciplines,
one of which must be a labora-
tory science.

4. Economics, political
science, psychology, sociology.
A minimum of 9 quarter hours
in one discipline.

Changes here are not all ob-
vious. First, the Bible require-
ment can be satisfied with a one-
quarter, five hour course which
will be titled, "Approach to
Biblical Literature." It may also
be met with the course num-
bered 201 (three quarters, nine
quarter hours) or with the
courses now numbered 311 and
312, which will be dropped to
the 200 level (two quarters, two
quarter hours).

The 'literature course used to
satisfy group 1 may now be in
the same language used to meet
the specific language require-
ment. Students who have had

four years of a language in high
school may apply for exemption
from the literature requirement
by demonstrating competence
on a test given by the school, or
on an Achievement Test.

The math-science group (3)
has been greatly reduced. Group
4 may now be met with a course
in political science even if his-
tory is chosen to satisfy group 2.
Those courses which may be
used to satisfy group 2 will be
indicated in the new catalogue.

The major, which still com-
prises 45 to 80 quarter hours of
the student's course work, has
undergone some revision also. A
double major may be elected.
The major(s) may be declared as
early as the spring quarter of the
freshman year. Two new majors
are offered: an interdepart-
mental (which carries a maxi-
mum of 90 quarter hours) in Art
History and English-American
Literature, and an intradepart-
mental in Physics-Astronomy.
Several new astronomy courses
will be offered for the latter.

A student may also design her
own major with permission of
the Academic Council. There is
no minor, and no related hours.

Writers' Conference
planned for Apr. 30

by LUCY BROCKMAN

Agnes Scott will host the
second annual Writers Confer-
ence April 30 and May 1, featur-
ing a lecture by the distinguished
poet and novelist, Robert Penn
Warren, and a panel discussion
of poetry and fiction written by
Georgia college and university

Devlin visits Emory

(Information from The
Emory Wheel, February 27,
1973.)

Bernadette Devlin, famous
civil rights advocate from North-
ern Ireland, will be the guest
speaker of the UCB and the
Emory Women's Alliance at
Emory May 8. She will speak on
her role as the leader of a revolu-
tion. But don't misunderstand;
"Revolution," she says, "means
change. It does not mean blood
flowing in the streets."

Ms. Devlin is primarily con-
cerned with the current situation
in Ireland, but this concern is
noi channeled in a classically
opinionated way. Basically she
believes that Ireland should be
free to govern itself. She views
herself neither as Protestand nor
Catholic, but rather sees herself
as a revolutionary socialist fight-
ing for all men.

The money that she makes at
her appearances goes to the
Catholic Defense League, which
is an organization for the resto-
ration of things damaged by war
in Ireland. None of her earnings

go toward violence.

Briefly, Devlin's past ac-
complishments include such
things as the organization of the
Ulster college youth into civil
rights movements. Then occur-
red the first peaceful marches
Northern Ireland had ever seen.
Perhaps her biggest accomplish-
ment was the ousting of the in-
cumbent parliamentary represen-
tative from Northern Ireland
when she was 21 years old. She
took advantage of the diversifi-
cation in her party in order to
make her views heard. She im-
mediately became famous for
the outspokenness of her convic-
tions.

Ms. Devlin resists the idea of
complacency or acceptance and
will rebuke authority simply for
the sake of rebuking authority.

Finally, it should be stressed
that Bernadette Devlin is not
coming to Emory to plead a
cause. Her appearance will be
more of an indirect conscious-
ness-raising force for all of the
Emory (and perhaps also the
Scott) community.

students.

Mr. Warren will speak at 8:1 5
p.m., on April 30, in Gaines
Auditorium, followed by a re-
ception in Rebekah Scott Hall.
Student writers will read their
entries on May 1, at 11:30 a.m.
in Rebekah. Approximately fifty
entries have been accepted from
different institutions, both local
and statewide.

At 2:00 p.m., in the after-
noon of May 1, there will be a
panel discussion of the student
entries. The panel members are
George Garret, author of The
Death of the Fox, and Writer in
Residence at the University of
South Carolina, and Coleman
Barks, poet, author of Juice,
from the University of Georgia.

Nathalie Fitz Simons Ander-
son, an ASC graduate, a past
president of BOZ, and winner of
the Robert Frost Prize for
poetry, will moderate the panel.
Prizes for the best poem and the
best story will be awarded at the
close of the panel. The Aurora
will contain the entries judged
superior and will be available at
the conference.

Visiting
Committee

(continued from page J )
Birmingham-bouthern College.
Dr. Abernethy will edit their re-
ports and send a draft in late
spring to Dr. Alston to be check-
ed for factual errors. The final
report of the Visiting Committee
will probably be sent to the col-
lege during the summer.

Dr. Alston stated that the
committee was "particularly
complimentary of the students."
The committee also stated that
it felt the Self-Study to be "fac-
tual and honest." Most prelim-
inary suggestions were in line
with those of Agnes Scott's Self-
Study Committee, Dr. Alston
commented. He declined to
comment on any specific pro-
posals, saying that he preferred
to wait untii the written report

Blackfriars produces

The Rimers of Eldritch

by ANN FINCHER

Agnes Scott Blackfriars will
present its spring production
The Rimers of Eldritch, by Lan-
ford Wilson, May 3, 4, and 5 at
8:15 p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts
Building.

This play was written in 1965
and opened off-Broadway in
1967. It was favorably received
and won the Drama-Desk-
Vernon Rice award. Set in a
small midwestern town in the*
sixties, the play focuses on the
townspeople who are the victims
of prejudice and ignorance.

Lanford Wilson, the young
author, is a member of the New
Dramatists' Committee and the

Playwrights' Unit of the Actors'
Studio. He is also the recipient
of a Rockefeller grant in play-
writing and was the 1967-68
playwright in residence at Yale
University.

The Rimers of Eldritch is a
complex, technically oriented
production and offers a great
challenge to Blackfriars. There
are nine female roles and six
male roles in the play. Miss El-
vena Green is directing, assisted
by Carolyn McKinney.

Preparation for the produc-
tion is still in progress, and all
committees welcome assistance.

Arts Festival

by SAPPHO

Hi there, arts fans! This is
your artsy reporter speaking
to you from the world of cul-
ture. We have some really big
events lined up for you
between now and May 10.
Just read on for the exciting
news!

Tonight and tomorrow
night the Agnes Scott Dance
Group is presenting its annual
Spring Concert. This is some-
thing you really shouldn't
miss! These talented girls
have been working hard, and
they promise that this con-
cert is going to be the best
one yet.

Don't forget about the
Civilisation film, "Heroic Ma-
terialism," tonight, either.

On Saturday, April 28, the
Organ Guild will present a
program before and after
lunch.

Also on Saturday is the
Agnes Scott Spring Dance.
This is your chance to invite
the man of your dreams to
share live contemporary
music with yu at the on-
campus place off campus.

On Sunday, April 29, the
University of Tennessee
Faculty Art Exhibit will open
with a grand reception from
2:00 until 5:00 in Dana. At
3:00 p.m., Nancy Carter will
give her senior piano recital.
Sounds good so far, doesn't
it, fellow art lovers? But
that's not all!

Starting April 30 and ex-
tending through May 1 is the
fantastic and long-awaited
Agnes Scott Writers Confer-
ence, which includes a lecture
on April 30 by the famed
novelist Robert Penn Warren
at 8:15 p.m. in Gaines with a
reception afterwards.

It isn't known for sure just
what his topic for discussion

that night will be, but per-
haps something like "All the
King's Women" or "Campus
Enough and Time" might be
appropriate?

On May 1 will be readings
by the winners of the Writers
Conference at 1 1 :30 a.m. and
the panel discussion at 2:00
p.m.

On May 3, 4, and 5, our
own inimitable theatre group,
the Agnes Scott Blackfriars,
will present its spring quarter
production. (This is another
innocent event by which you
can seduce the man in your
life on to campus! Don't
bypass this unique oppor-
tunity!)

Another senior, Lou
Minor, will give a piano re-
cital at 3:00 p.m., Sunday,
May 6. There will be a recep-
tion afterwards in Rebekah.

Klaus Mehnert, a distin-
guished German -author and
radio-television commentator,
will give a lecture on May 8 at
8:15 p.m.

Last but not least, for all
you culturally-minded people
who can afford it, is Opera
Week, May 7-12 at the Civic
Center. The music is beautiful
but if you can't understand
the words, don't feel bad.
They're not in English.

Well, that's about all for
this time. Stay tuned for
some more on-the-scene cul-
ture news and other miscel-
laneous comments from your
ace reporter on campus,
Sappho.

Group prepares for
next performance

The Agnes Scott College
Dance Group presents a concert
of contrasting dance idioms
April 26 and 27 at 8:15 p.m. in
Presser Hall. The public is in-
vited, free of charge.

The varied program of stu-
dent choreographed works
ranges from classical ballet
through jazz and modern to
acrobatic movement. Musical ac-
companiments include composi-
tions by Bartok, George Gersh-
win and folk singer Gordon
Lightfoot. Directing the Dance
Group is Agnes Scott dance in-
structor Mrs. Marylin Darling,
who holds a master's' degree in
dance from Florida State Univer-
sity.

On the program is a dance
built on contrasts, "Pictures at
an Exhibition," choreographed
to Moussorgsky's composition of
that title. Four dancers perform
this multi-media work of lyrical

ballet and angular modern dance
movement against a backdrop of
projected slides showing geo-
metric designs.

Two selections make con-
trasting uses of the role of ac-
companiment in relation to the
dancers. In "3 + 1 = One,"
which utilizes acrobatic move-
ment, dancers and accompani-
ment exchange traditional roles,
with the music determining the
dancers' movements. Then in
"Musician's Triumph," choreo-
graphed by Mrs. Darling, the
piano music of George Gershwin
is subordinated to the solo
dancer.

Other program selections in-
clude, among others, "Slinky
Soujourn," a jazz dance to music
by Miles Davis; "Mother of a
Miner's Child," a folk dance to
Gordon Lightfoot's song; and
"Spell," choreographed around
the theme of witchcraft.

Jean Paris
visits Emory

]ean Paris, a noted French
drama critic, will speak at
Emory University Monday, April
30 at 8: 1 5 p.m. in Tull Auditori-
um of Gambrell Hall law build-
ing.

Paris, professor of French at
Johns Hopkins University, is the
author of numerous books and
articles on poetry and the thea-
ter. The Atlantic Monthly de-
scribed him as "one of France's
leading Shakespeare scholars. He
has written two books on the
Elizabethan dramatist and has
adapted scenes from his plays
for ]ean-Louis Barrault's reper-
tory theater."

The lecture, which is spon-
sored by Emory's Department of
Romance Languages, is free and
open to the public. Professor
Paris will speak in French on
"Le Structuralisme et Son
Depassement."

Vehicular traffic will be con-
fined to the two lower levels.
People will be able to move
about freely on walkways and
plazas on the upper levels.

Art works to be on perma-
nent exhibition include a four-
teen-story laser sculpture of
criss-cross beams, by Rockne
Krebs; movable kiosks (booths)
called "scubiles," by Doris
Leeper; a 150-foot metal foun-
tain, by Geoffrey Naylor; and a
plexiglass sculpture for the
"meditation area," by Sylvia
Stone.

Omni International will be
adjacent to the Omni, Atlanta's
new sports and entertainment
coliseum. The two complexes
will be connected by an outside
terrace and covered walkway.

Summer job possibilities

JOB . . . Tour Assistant. PAY
... $185.00 per tour (average
length 8 days), plus free food,
free lodging, free jet fare and
travel fare. PLACE . . . Hawaiian
Islands and Grand Canyon.

There has been much interest
paid in the last several years to
assisting students in search of
summer employment. A good
summer job can be an outlet for
individual creativity, and is a
traditional source of many learn-
ing experiences. The money
earned also helps students and
their families with the soaring
costs of education.

Remember, SOS provides you
with orientation after you arrive
in Europe and before you go to
your job so that you will be cer-
tain to get everything together.
SOS is a Luxembourg student
organization that has been help-
ing students find temporary jobs
in Europe for over 12 years. In
1972 over 1,000 American stu-
dents were placed in temporary
paying jobs in Europe through
SOS. Remember to apply early
as arrangements^take time.

Temporary paying jobs in
Europe are given on a first-come,
first-served basis. Although jobs
are always available, applications
should be submitted far enough
in advance to allow SOS ample
time to obtain necessary papers
and work permits. Any student
may obtain an application form,
job lists and descriptions, and
the SOS Handbook on earning a
trip to Europe, by sending his
name, address, educational insti-
tution and $1 (for addressing,
handling and postage) to:
EURONEWS, Student Overseas
Services, 22 Ave. de la Liberte,
Luxembourg, Europe, or SOS, P.
O. Box 5173, Santa Barbara,
Calif. 93108.

EURONEWS

If you are willing to work in
Europe, a temporary paying job
in Switzerland, Germany, or
another country allows you to

earn back most of the cost of
your round trip Youth Fare
ticket in only a few weeks. A
few more weeks earns you
traveling money.

Following are examples of
jobs currently available. Interest-
ed students should apply imme-
diately so SOS will have ample
time to confirm your job and
obtain the necessary permits and
papers.

SWITZERLAND Resort,
hotel, restaurant and hospital
jobs are now available. Room
and board are always provided
free in addition to a standard
Swiss wage which can range
from $120 to $220 a month,
depending on tips. Switzerland
offers clean air, beautiful un-
polluted lakes, and an excellent
central location in Europe.

GERMANY - Hotel, restau-
rant, resort, factory, farm, hospi-
tal, forestry and construction
jobs are available throughout the
year. Good wages, and room and
board are provided free (except
with factory and construction
jobs). For any job in Germany,
allow several weeks for SOS to
obtain your permits and papers.

FRANCE - Bringing in the
wine harvest (grape picking) is a
popular fall job. Farm' and fruit
picking work is available during
the spring and summer. Room,
board, and natural beverages are
always provided free, plus a
standard wage. Factory jobs are
available during the summer,
with good wages and relatively
short hours, and shift work al-
lows time to visit Paris, Amster-
dam and other cities. Some child
care work is available through-
out the year. Camp counseling
work is available during the sum-
mer months, but for this you
must be able to converse in
French.

AUSTRIA - Hotel, resort,
restaurant and some farm jobs
are available. Standard Austrian
wages are always paid, and free
room and board is provided and
arranged for you in advance.
Wages range from $125 to $240

a month, depending upon your
actual work and position within
the establishment, and tips.
Many jobs are available with no
knowledge of a foreign language
required. Good food, good
people!

This year (Summer 1973) we
invite all students to apply to us
for summer employment which
we feel will be both interesting
and rewarding. As stated above,
we now anticipate tours to
Hawaii, and to the wilderness
area of Utah and Arizona. Stu-
dents will be hired as Tour Assis-
tants. They will perform a num-
ber of functions in administra-
tion, planning, passenger assis-
tance, and leisure activities.

To qualify, one must be at
least 16 years of age by July 30,
1973, in good health, have
average intelligence and a pleas-
ant personality. Parental per-
mission is required for 16- and
17-year-olds.

For both young men and
young women, hair can be any
length. Emergency medical care
will be provided if needed while
in our employ. We suggest apply-
ing as soon as possible for these
positions. If two or more stu-

CHARLES COUNTS: FROM BEAVER RIDGE TO RISING FAWN
April 22 - May 20 / South Gallery

Charles Counts attended Berea College in his native Kentucky,
where he first became interested in ceramics and other crafts, and
received his Master's degree from Southern Illinois University in
1957. After several years on the West Coast, Counts and his wife,
Rubynelle, founded their first workshop, the Beaver Ridge Pottery,
near Knoxville, Tennessee.

In 1963, they moved to Rising Fawn on Lookout Mountain in
northwest Georgia, where they converted a barn on their property
into a workshop, known as The Pottery Shop. Over the years they
have trained their neighbors who were in need of employment, as
well as apprentices and others, in the art of pottery and have helped
establish community craft centers throughout the Southeast. In
addition, Counts is a member of the art faculty of the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga and, in 1972, traveled to Nigeria to study
tribal pottery techniques.

More than 100 works have been selected from over 40,000 pieces
of pottery executed over the past fifteen years. These were drawn
from a number of private colletions.

Counts' recent book, Common Clay, will be on sale in the
museum's Art Shop while the exhibition is on view.

In addition to lecturing on various aspects of African culture, Dr.
Akar is also recognized as an actor, playwright, poet, author, journal-
ist and composer.

Profile Movie Editor

One of the most ingenious
movies to be produced in a long
time is Sleuth. It stars the impec-
cable Sir Laurence Olivier and
Mr. Michael Caine, better known
as Alfie. The plot revolves
around a struggle between two
men which gradually magnifies
into a life-or-death battle of
wits.

Appropriately enough, Olivier
plays a blue-blooded and arro-
gant Englishman who writes
detective stories on the side. Sir
Laurence seems perfectly at
home in a role which is heavily
spiced with Shakespearian
flavor. Michael Caine is also cus-
tom fitted with his part as a very
"common" hair-dresser who is
vying for possession of the old
lord's wife. There could almost
be an accusation of type-casting.
Both Olivier and Caine were
nominated for 'best actor' by
the Academy for their parts *in
Sleuth, and indeed, both men
give better than a superb per-
formance.

Director Joseph Mankiewicz
and photographer Geoffrey*
Unsworth also deserve recogni-
tion as the men behind the
screen, who have successfully
translated a hit Broadway play
into an equally brilliant movie.
In these times the typical at-
tempt loses much in the transla-
tion.

The plot is intricate, with
startling twists which never give
the audience a chance to gain
sure footing in unravelling the
mystery. It is this that gives the
movie such a high quality of in-
tense suspense.

Some of the mechanics of ture such an entertaining

Sleuth are faulty from a reality- capacity. In Sleuth a vivid

oriented viewpoint. However, imagination is an invaluable in-

the more far-fetched aspects of strument of its creation as well

the plot are what give the pic- as of its enjoyment.

Atlanta prepares
for Opera Week

by ERIN SHERMAN

Atlanta experienced its first
season of opera in 1910 at the
old city auditorium. Featured in
these early productions were
such stars as Enrico Caruso,
Geraldine Farrar, and Rosa Pon-
selle. The tradition of hosting
opera in this city has been vir-
tually unbroken except for the
Depression years in the early
thirties. This year, the tradition
will continue with the Atlanta
Music Festival Association's
sponsoring of the Metropolitan
Opera for the week of May 7-12
at the Civic Center.

Mr. Michael McDowell, Chair-
man of the Agnes Scott Music
Department, believes this season
will be especially interesting be-
cause of its innovative features
combined with "the favorites
that have been performed many
times." McDowell pointed out
that Giuseppe Verdi's "Mac-
beth," which will be performed
Friday evening, May 1 1, is a first
for Atlanta. In fact, it is pro-
duced very few times at the
Metropolitan.

Georges Bizet's "Carmen,"
which will be presented Monday

evening, May 7, is listed in the
opera brochures as being a "new
production." The reason for
this, McDowell explained, is be-
cause much of it will be spoken
rather than employing the tech-
nique of "recitatives" or "song
lines" where the characters say
the lines to music. McDowell
said the effect of using the
spoken lines instead of the
recitatives created a big success
in New York and is "most effec-
tive." The production is, in
reality, closer to Bizet's original
format because the recitatives
were composed by another artist
and added at a later date to the
work.

In this production of "Car-
men," "Don Jose" , will be
played by James MaCracken,
and "Carmen" will be played by
Marilyn Home.

The rest of the operas on the
program include Giuseppe Ver-
di's "Aida," Gaetano Donizetti's
"Lucia di Lammermoor," Giu-
seppe Verdi's "II Trovatore,"
Gioacchino Rossini's "II Barbi-
ere di Siviglia," and Giacomo
Puccini's "Tosca."

Volunteer Atlanta needs you

Volunteers, we need you!
Here are a few of the current re-

level.

In order to give visitors from
foreign countries a representa-
tive picture of urban and subur-

ban life here, a variety of volun-
teers are needed to be hosts. If
meeting people from other coun-
tries broadens and enriches you,
call to find out about the many
ways you can help.

A Druid Hills day care center

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030

French
corridor

planned
in 7 3- 74

by ANN FINCHER

The 1973-74 academic ses-
sion will herald a first for Agnes
Scott College - a French corri-
dor. Thanks to the efforts of the
French Department and Presi-
dent Alston, Chantal Hupe, a
twenty-five-year-old native of
Cahors, France, will spend next
year on the Agnes Scott campus.

Miss Hupe will provide the
activating force on the recently
conceived French corridor. The
corridor will be situated on the
third floor of Winship dormitory
and will be represented in Dorm
Council by Lynn Jameson. Ideal-
ly, residents will converse with
each other in French, sing in the
shower in French, respond to a
stubbed toe in French, and be-
come generally immersed in the
French language.

Naturally, the structure of
the corridor will not be so strict
that a student feels obliged to
turn herself in to Honor Court
for saying "good morning" in-
stead of "bonjour" to a com-
rade. Rather, the concept behind
the corridor is that a foreign lan-
guage can be natural for the
speaker only if the speaker
actually lives with the language.
The French corridor will provide
such a living experience.

Chantal Hupe comes highly
recommended to the Scott cam-
pus. She is a certified teacher
and obtained her Baccalaureat at
the Teachers' College in Tours.

Trustees honor Alstons
with reception May 11

She has held a position of super-
visor at the Ecole Normale at
Blois and at Tours and has been
actively involved in the organiza-
tion of socio-educational activi-
ties of both establishments.

Miss Hupe's father's work in
public affairs never permitted
her to remain in the same region
of France more than two years;
consequently her French has no
regional accent. In a letter to
Miss Mary Virginia Allen, Chair-
man of the Agnes Scott French

Among events planned to
honor Dr. and Mrs. Wallace
Alston is a reception given by
the Board of Trustees from 8:00
to 10:00 p.m. Friday, May 11,
in the dining hall. Administrative
officers of the college, faculty,
students, non-contract person-
nel, and friends of the Alstons
from the community are invited.

A reception given by the
alumnae to honor the Alstons
was held April 13 as alumnae
gathered for their annual meet-
ing. At the reception, the Al-
stons were presented with a
savings account to be used for
travel or any purpose they
choose. The college was also pre-

Hommage a Moliere
honors dramatist

by ANN FINCHER

Friday, May 18, the Agnes
Scott Departments of French,
and Speech and Drama, and
L'Alliance Francaise d'Atlanta
will present Hommage a Moliere.
The program, which marks the
300th anniversary of the death
of the French dramatist, will be
presented in the theatre of Dana
Fine Arts Building at 8:15 p.m.

Agnes Scott students will
present in English the one-act
777e Affected Young Ladies (Les
Precieuses Ridicules). Pam Ro-
gers, an Agnes Scott Speech and
Drama major, will direct the pro-
duction. This play was one of
three one-act productions

presented to the college com-
munity during winter quarter.

La Troupe, a French-speaking
theatrical group, will present
Scenes Celebres, excerpts from
some of Moliere's most famous
plays. The presentation includes
scenes from Le Tartuffe, Le
Bou rgeois Gen til horn me, Don
Juan, Le Ma lade I magi na ire, and
Les Femmes Savantes. Mr. Vladi-
mir Volkoff, Professor of French
and Russian at Agnes Scott, will
direct Scenes Celebres.

The campus community is
cordially invited -to attend Hom-
mage a Moliere. Tickets are
$1 .00 for adults and 50 cents for
students.

Board announces plans;
exhibits indepent studies

If you, as a senior, had spent
one or two quarters working on
a project which particularly in-
terested you, would you not
want to share your interest with
other students?Or, as an under-
classman, have you ever wonder-
ed what types of projects those
seniors are working so hard on?
Mortar Board thought that the
answer to both these questions
for many students would be yes,
and therefore decided to sponsor
an informal get-together this
Tuesday, May 15, at 6:30 p.m.
in the basement of Main.

Here seniors who have done
independent studies this year
will have the opportunity to
share some of their "discoveries"

and experiences of the past few
months. There will be time for
questions and answers following
the program, and completed
papers and projects will be on
display.

Mortar Board hopes that the
campus community will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to
honor those hard-working "inde-
pendent students" and also to
share in this "excitement of
learning." (Notice: You will also
be able to share in the excite-
ment of refreshments!)

This project is only the first
in what promises to be a very
busy year for the 1973-74 chap-
ter of Mortar Board. Besides
planning for its usual activities,

such as organizing Black Cat,
managing freshman fall elec-
tions, and handling the Honor
Roll banquet in the fall, the new
chapter of Mortar Board is work-
ing on a number of other pro-

son Alston Scholarship, to be ad-
ministered by the Scholarship
Committee as part of the perma-
nent endowment. The alumnae
also gave Dr. Alston a volume of
letters written to him by friends.

Other plans to honor the
Alstons include a noon luncheon
given by the Board of Trustees
on May 11. This is the annual
spring meeting of the board, and
further plans to honor Dr.
Alston will be announced here.
Students are also giving the
Alstons a Monday-Sundae Party
May 21.

Mrs. Chester W. Morse, a
trustee, was appointed Chairman

of the Committee to Honor
President Alston by Mr. Hal
Smith, President of the Board of
Trustees. This committee de-
cided that because so many
individuals wanted to honor
President Alston as he retires,
two receptions would be given
one by the alumnae and one by
the Board of Trustees. Mrs.
Morse and Mrs. Jeffrey Tucker,
President of the Alumnae Asso-
ciation, sent a letter to alumnae
and friends of the college to in-
vite contributions to a fund to
honor Dr. Alston. From this
money, the savings account and

Rep passes RCs

The following pieces of legis-
lation were passed by Rep Coun-
cil at its Tuesday, April 24,
meeting.

RC 154:
RESOLUTION REGARDING
MEETING ATTENDANCE

Whereas the acceptance of
Rep membership implies an
elected responsibility to repre-
sent a specific class or dorm; and

Whereas effective representa-
tion demands regular attendance
at council meetings; therefore

Resolved, That Article V,
Section III of the Student Gov-
ernment Constitution be amend-
ed to read as follows:

Section 3. Meetings

A. Representative Council
shall ordinarily meet every week.

B. If a council member has
more than two unexcused ab-
sences in any one quarter, the

position will be declared vacant
until filled by a special election
by the body involved.

RC 155:
REVISION REGARDING
FRESHMAN HOURS

Whereas, A freshman's offi-
cial orientation ends at Black
Cat; and

Whereas, Three months is a
sufficient length of time to be-
come acquainted with the Atlan-
ta Area and various social situa-
tions which may arise; and

Whereas, The safety of many
freshmen is being jeopardized
when they sign out overnight
rather than returning to their liv-
ing units at dorm closing hour;
therefore,

Resolved, That freshmen be
required to adhere to the exist-
ing time limit rules during fall
quarter only.

Taffy Stills, Mamie Grisham, Kesa Harris, Janet Jackson, and Kay
Pinckney are with Gretta De Wald, Chairman of the Democratic
Party of DeKalb County, who spoke at an April 30 meeting of
Young Democrats.

THE PROFILE / May 10, 1973

Are you stranded?

One reason many Scotties don't take advantage of more things
Atlanta has to offer is lack of transportation. Buses are all right
during the day if you happen to be going the same place they are.
Cabs will do any time if you like to spend lots of money just to get
where you're going. And not everyone is fortunate enough to have
her own car.

A solution to this problem has been reached at Wesleyan. The
college has two new Opels on loan from a Macon dealer. In order to
use a car a student must sign a form that releases Wesleyan from all
liability and have a valid driver's license. The college is not respon-
sible for fines and tickets issued to the students while driving the car.
Alcoholic beverages and drugs may not be used by the driver of the
car or its occupants.

Keys for the cars are to be picked up in the Dean of Students'
office. Parking spaces are provided for these cars. They must be
locked after the student has returned to campus. The gas tank must
be filled before the student turns in the car. If the student is late in
returning and there are no filling stations open, she must have the
car filled up by 9:00 the next morning.

Students must make reservations for the car in person not more
than two weeks in advance unless it is for an official college func-
tion. The car may not be used out of town unless permission has
been obtained from the Dean of Students. Each student can use the
car for no more than two hours at a time and no more than twice a
week.

Violations of these rules will be handled by the Dean of Students.
Penalties for infractions are a $5.00 fine and revocation of privileges
of operation and/or use of the car.

I've listed the rules in order to show that it wouldn't be impos-
sible for us to have such a system ourselves. Now if we could just
find some cars . . .

To the Editor:

We, as employees here at
Agnes Scott College, would like
to know why it is that the em-
ployees don't have meetings any
more?There hasn't bee a meet-
ing for the employees since the
death of Mr. Rogers. When you

ask someone a question they
don't know, and send you to
someone else. At that rate we
never know what, what. We were
to have gotten a raise in Febru-
ary; here it is May, and school is
almost ended.

We hope that Mr. Saxon and

the supervisors of the dormitor-
ies will give us a little of their
time and meet with us to let us
know what; and don't just tell
one or two, let the whole body
know.

Agnes Scott College

May 3, 1973

To the Editor:

I am glad to know that there
is some discussion of student-'
faculty rating here at Agnes
Scott. I have known* of several
such programs and know that
they can be very beneficial.

The purpose of such rating is
to improve teaching, i.e., to help
the teacher teach, just as the
purpose of a testing program for
students is justified only as a
method of helping the student
learn. If this object is kept clear-
ly in mind I believe that student
rating of the faculty on a num-
ber of different components of
the teaching program could be
very helpful to the individual

members of the faculty, jt could
point up unrecognized faults
which might be remedied, sug
gest different emphases foi
courses, different testing
methods, etc., and thus could
help produce a more beneficial
situation for both faculty and
students.

A word of warning may be in
order about the misuse of such
questionnaires. Any publicity
about the grading, whether of
"high" or "low" ratings, would
be inimical to better teaching.
Anything that borders on a
popularity contest needs to be
strictly avoided. Just as student
grades are told only to the

individual student, so should the
faculty ratings be seen only by
the instructor involved. The
rating is a sharp tool which can
be used helpfully or destructive-
ly.

I believe a questionnaire
could be designed and its use
planned in such a way that it
would be very helpful. Perhaps
Mortar Board, in consultation
with CAP, could undertake this
service for the college. Faculty
members would be encouraged
and helped to be better teachers.
I am sure this is what the stu-
dents want. Good students help
make good teachers.
Sincerely yours,
Josephine Bridgman

To the Editor:

We would like to respond to
the recent professors' letter de-
ploring our distribution of a fact
sheet on Dr. Benjamin Mays. We
would also like to clarify our in-
tentions, which were not to
"smear" Dr. Mays, or warn on
the "dangers of having Dr. Mays
speak here." We leave complete-
ly open the question of Dr.
Mays' intentions, or of his
awareness of the organizations'
nature. Certainly we did not
wish to prevent Dr. Mays from
expressing his opinions. The
"Association with Communist
Fronts" sheet under considera-
tion was excerpted from the
1957 Joint Louisiana Legislative
Committee,

We fail to see how the four
professors could conclude from
the sheet that we must be in
favor of "lynching, abuse of the
foreign-born, discrimination in
higher education, war as a gener-
al principle"; we likewise fail to
see how they could conclude
that we must "oppose human
welfare, equal justice, consitu-
tional liberties," etc. Obviously,
they thought the titles of the or-
ganizations were accurate repre-
sentations of the nature of the
organizations.

In /. Edgar Hoover on Com-
munism, Hoover defines a Com-
munist front:

A communist front is any
organization or movement
controlled by the Party
... in every case the objec-
tive of the front organi-
zation is to surround
themselves with respect-
able non-Communists and
use them to advance a Par-
ty program or spread Red
propaganda.
By investigating any of the orga-
nizations on the sheet, one can
see how the Communist-front
principle works. Here, several ex-

amples will show how misleading
the innocent title of an organiza-
tion can be. The American Com-
mittee For the Protection of the
Foreign Born, whith which Dr.
Mays had two associations, is
claimed by William Z. Foster,
former head of the Communist
Party, U.S.A., as a Communist
front. He says:

It is the duty of every
working class [i.e. Com-
munist] organization,
whether native or foreign-
born, Negro or white, men
or women, to send dele-
gates to that Conference.
Workers and workers' or-
ganizations should send
their contributions to
Committee For The Pro-
tection of the Foreign
Born, 80 East Eleventh
Street, Room 611, New
York City. (Daily Worker,
January 9, 1935, p. 1,2.)
Besides showing the intimate
connection between the Com-
munist Party and the American
Committee For The Protection
Of The Foreign Born, this quote
reveals the Communist attempt
to appeal to various groups, in-
cluding minority groups.

However, most Negroes reject
Communism, as do most other
people, when they find out the
real aims. In Political Affairs, of-
ficial Communist Party organ, a
comrade complains: "The most
damning thing of all was that
those Negroes who took the
trouble to ascertain exactly what
we were driving at generally
voiced very decided opposition."

Benjamin Mays had one con-
nection with the Southern Con-
ference for Human Welfare - an
organization which actually had
goals quite different from "hu-
man welfare." In speaking of
SCHW, an open Communist
Party member, James W. Ford,

boasted that "the Communists,
through their pioneering work in
the South, may justly claim to
have laid the foundation of these
great social movements." A Sen-
ate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee report, Southern Con-
ference Educational Fund, Inc.,
reached on the basis of weighty
evidence, this conclusion: "The
Southern Conference For Hu-
man Welfare was conceived, fi-
nanced, and set up by the Com-
munist Party in 1938 as a mass
organization to promote com-
munism throughout the Sou-
thern States."

In fact, SCHW gained such a
bad reputation that it officially
collapsed, only to re-establish it-
self under another name - the
Southern Conference Educa-
tional Fund, with which Dr.
Mays had three associations. The
two organizations had the same
business address, 822 Perdido
Street, New Orleans; they pub-
lished the same newspaper, the
Southern Patriot) used the same
telephone, and kept generally
the same officers.

In short, the Southern Con-
ference for Human Welfare and
the Southern Conference Educa-
tional Fund are the same organi-
zations. Recognizing the real in-
tent of SCEF, Ralph McGill sent
a telegram to SCEF, saying he
wanted nothing to do with the
organization.

Carl Braden is field director
of SCEF. Anne Braden is editor
of The Southern Patriot. Both
have been named under oath as
members of the Communist Par-
ty . . .Alberta Ahearn . . .
swore, both in Court and later
before the Senate Internal Secur-
ity Subcommittee, that Carl and
Anne Braden had recruited her
into the Communist Party, and
that she knew them as Commun-

Blackfriars production praised

by LUCY BROCKMAN

The Blackfriars are to be ap-
plauded on their spring produc-
tion of The Rimers of Eldritch
by Lanford Wilson, presented on
May 3, 4, and 5. The play is very
difficult technically, as the time
sequence of the scenes is shifted
for a collage effect. The transi-
tion between scenes was too
slow at times, but the overall ef-
fect was successful.

Such a technique, although
confusing at first, added to the
suspense and took the action to
the necessary height of tension
at the end. The technical direc-
tion was strong in its use of
lighting, mime, and effect, with-
out becoming "gimmicky."

The acting, as well, was very
strong - in many cases, excel-
lent. Artistically, as well as tech-
nically, the structure of the play
runs the risk of becoming
choppy or muddled. The actors,
however, carried off their lines
smoothly and distinctly. They
also dealt bravely with the
limitations of the plot and the
theme on character develop-
ment.

In Wilson's microscopic view
and attempt at a universal state-
ment, the characters, for the
most part, do not grow beyond
the stereotype, while some are
left perfectly flat. Although it
isn't as simple as black and
white, it is only one step to

AA sponsors picnic

by PATTY PEARSON

The annual A. A. Picnic will
be held this year on Wednesday,
May 16, in the area around the
tennis court parking lots. Spirit
awards and athletic awards will
be given at the picnic.

It will be an afternoon of
games not only for the students
and faculty (there will be volley-
ball nets and frisbees for all
those who wish to use them),
but for the children of the facul-

ty as well. At 4:30 p.m., the
children will meet at the bleach-
ers for relay races such as sack
races and other games.

Also at 4:30, the play-off vol-
leyball games between the dorms
will be held and a half hour be-
fore, at 4:00, the doubles tennis
tournament will take place.
Around 5:15 p.m. the "picnick-
ing" will begin to culminate the
afternoon.

Self -Studys destiny

What will happen to the
information submitted by stu-
dents in the SGA convocation
on Wednesday, May 2? Will it be
lost in the SGA files, buried
under the stack of magazines
that pile up in the mailroom
over the summer, or simply for-
gotten?

No! The material is nov>
being tabulated by the Self-
Study Steering Committee. A
summary of the suggestions
made by the student body and
student organizations will be
completed by the end of this
quarter and will be presented to
Dr. Perry before the beginning
of the 1973 fall quarter.

In addition, the committee is
continuing its work on a detailed
questionnaire to be answered by
the student body in October,
1973. The suggestions submitted
by the student body are being

used here also in order 1 to in-
clude in the questionnaire all
alternatives in dealing with vin-
ous problems concerning student
life at Scott.

It is the intention of REP and
the Steering Committee that the
self-study will serve as a recom-
mendation to Dr. Perry on the
directions that the college can
take in the areas considered in
the questionnaire.

Thank you for your response
in the SGA convocation. If you
have any further suggestions,
extra forms will be available
from Dorm Council members.
You may put them in Box 327
or give them to any member of
the Steering Committee (Leila
Kinney, Mary Margaret Mac-
Lauchlin, Betty Binkley, Ann
Christensen, Mary Gay Morgan,
and Alice Lightle).

"black is white." Even with
these restrictions, the characters
come off as'believable and emo-
tional.

Deserving special recognition
are Marisu Kennedy as Nelly
Windrod, Pam Rogers as Mary
Windrod, Ruth McManus as Cora
Groves, and Gus Mann as Skelly
Mannor. The weather scene
between the Judge (Larry
Williams), the Trucker (Harold
Hall), Josh (Scott Wheeler), and
Peck (Lanis Forney) was superb,
and greatly appreciated by the
audience.

An ambitious and admirable
production . . . Bravo, Black-
friars!

Mays letter

ist Party members."

According to the New York
Times, October 2, 1954, p. 6;
and December 14, 1954, p. 26,
Carl nd Anne Braden were in-
dicted and convicted for dyna-
miting a Negro home. No one
was hurt, but the tactic is inter-
esting; it shows how insincere
the Communists are in helping
the Negro. Carl and Anne Bra-
den had earlier bought the
house, and had conveyed it to
some Negro friends named
Wade. They proceeded to blow
up the house - and then pro-
tested because the house was
blown up, supposedly by "right-
wing extremists!"

Dr. James Dombrowski was
the third guiding spirit of the
Southern Conference Education-
al Fund. He was executive direc-
tor, both of SCHW and SCEF.
According to a former Alabama
Communist Party official, John
Butler, testifying before the Sen-
ate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee, James Dombrowski was
introduced at a meeting of Com-
munist Party leaders as a mem-
ber of the Communist Party.
The meeting occurred in the
Thomas Jefferson Hotel in Bir-
mingham, Alabama, in July,
1942.

Carl and Anne Braden, and
James Dombrowski, maintained
working control of both SCEF
and SCHW. Therefore, both or-
ganizations can reasonably be
called Communist fronts, as list-
ed on the sheet we distributed.

The bloody intention behind
the idealistic titles of Com-
munist fronts becomes obvious
from a statement made by Gus
Hall, present head of the Com-
munist Party, U.S.A. Speaking in

1961 at the funeral of Eugene
Dennis, Hall said:

I dream of the hour when
the last Congressman is
strangled to death on the
guts of the last preacher
and since the Christians
love to sing about the
blood, why not give them
a little of it.
Obviously, an antithesis exists
between Communism and Chris-
tianity. Rather than feeling an
"ethical callousness," we feel a
moral obligation to oppose Com-
munism and point out Dr. Mays'
connection with its fronts, al-
though he may not have been
aware of the nature of the orga-
nizations. If a person with 32
former fascist front associations
were to speak at Agnes Scott, we
would feel equally responsible to
reveal this information.

We enjoy hearing various
points of view on "civil rights";
we would also enjoy hearing
black speakers who have had
Communist front connections
and who now openly reject them
- for instance, Julia Brown, FBI
agent for nine years, while a
member of the Communist
Party; Charles Smith, former
member of Fairplay For Cuba
Committee, another Communist
front; or Gerald Kirk, former
Black Panther and SDS member,
also former FBI agent.

In conclusion, we respect the
professors' willingness to con-
front this issue, because differ-
ent points of view are vital to
any free academic community.
Sincerely,

Hi there, arts fans! It's your
on-the-scene queen, Sappho,
with the latest, greatest news
from the World of Culture. Dig

As you probably know, this is
Opera Week here in Atlanta, Ga.
- unfortunately, it's been ru-
mored that Minnie Pearl won't
be able to make it. Maybe that's
just as well, because I don't
know if her voice could reach
the full range of such master-
pieces as Carmen, Aida, or //
Barbiere di Sivialia.

At any rate you and your
date could always go out and
buy a famous Minnie Pearl fried

chicken dinner, then head on
down to the Civic Center. Opera
Week officially lasts from May
7-12.

On Tuesday, May 15, the At-
lanta Community Orchestra will
perform in Gaines at 8:15 p.m.
It will be sponsored by the
Agnes Scott Music Club.

On Friday, May 18, the De-
partment of Dramatic Art and
the Department of French will
sponsor "Homma'ge a Moliere".
This promises to be an exciting
joint production however, it's
all Greek to me!

(Continued from Page 1)
Department, Miss Hupe express-
ed interest in literature, music,
and sports, and explained that
she wishes to spend a year in the
United States rather than in
England. This choice comes
"from personal preferences for
American literature, folklore,
mentality ... and from the
system of education in the
United States."

Here at Scott, Miss Hupe will
have the opportunity to attend
classes although the differences
between the educational systems
of France and the United States
prevent evaluation of the credit
she might earn in such classes.

In a Tetter to Chantal Hupe,
Miss Allen defined her goals for
the French corridor. Miss Hupe

will converse in French with the
residents of the French corridor,
hostess the French table in the
dining hall several evenings a
week, assist with French Club
activities, participate in French
seminars, and tutor students.
Miss Allen placed particular
emphasis on Miss Hupe's relating
"naturally and informally with
students and faculty."

Miss Allen notes that the
interest demonstrated by stu-
dents is remarkable. Twenty-
seven individuals have expressed
a desire to reside on the French
corridor next year. Dean of Stu-
dents Roberta Jones also ex-
pressed pleasure at the response
of Agnes Scott students to such
an opportunity.

jects.

Plans are already being made
for a repeat of the Applicants'
weekend held this past April. A
special overnight program for
prospective students from the
Atlanta area is also being con-
sidered for next fall.

Mortar Board hopes to spon-
sor some informal student-
faculty discussions on classes,
student faculty relations, and
other topics of concern to both
faculty and students. Another
project which has been suggested
is the compilation of a list of
Agnes Scott graduates and where
they went to graduate school, so
that seniors interested in a parti-
cular graduate school can con-

tact someone who is there now
or has recently been there.

One of the first actions of the
new chapter of Mortar Board
was to elect a new advisor to re-
place Miss Bradham, whose term
expired this year. The chapter
members chose Mrs. Bowden, of
the biology department, who
will join Mr. Chang and Mr. Gig-
nilliat as advisors for this year's
chapter.

Mortar Board is looking for-
ward to a busy and exciting
year, and hopes to receive the
same enthusiastic support from
the campus community that
other chapters have received in
the past. Ideas and suggestions
for projects will be welcomed.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030

Mav 24. 1973

Off-campus drinking approved

The Administrative Commit-
tee approved a resolution regard-
ing the consumption of alcoholic
beverages at off-campus social
functions (RC 159) at its meet-
ing on Thursday, May 1 7.

The resolution reads as fol-
lows:

RC 159

Whereas, Agnes Scott College
policies dealing with. the conduct
of students generally do not at-
tempt to regulate by rules the
conduct of students when they
are away from the campus; and

Whereas, the present "Policy
Regarding the Use of Alcoholic
Beverages" does not attempt to
regulate by rule the conduct of
students at off-campus functions
sponsored by the college and by
organizations within the college;
and

Whereas, deletion of the
phrase "and at any functions
sponsored by Agnes Scott Col-
lege or any organization within
the college" will remove from
the alcoholic beverage policy a
college regulation involving off-
campus conduct; and

Whereas, no college funds or
Student Government funds

should be used for the purchase
of alcoholic beverages at any
function sponsored by the col-
lege or by any organization with-
in the college;

Resolved, that the "Policy
Regarding the Use of Alcoholic
Beverages" read as follows:

Students are prohibited from
the possession or use of alcohol-
ic beverages on the Agnes Scott
campus. The use of alcoholic
beverages by visitors on the cam-
pus and the possession of such
beverages in college buildings is
prohibited. Each student is
responsible for seeing that her
guests are aware of their obliga-
tion to conform to this regula-
tion.

No college or Student
Government funds will be used
for the purchase of alcoholic
beverages at any function held
off campus and sponsored by
the college or by any organiza-
tion within the college.

In all circumstances, the stu-
dent is responsible for maintain-
ing a high standard of conduct
so that her behavior will not be
detrimental to herself, to her fel-
low students, or to the college.
Her behavior on returning to

campus should demonstrate her
ability to act responsibly and to
exercise good judgment; in no
way should it be disruptive to
the academic community.

The first violation by a stu-
dent of the Policy Regarding the
Use of Alcoholic Beverages shall
be handled by the Dormitory
Council. The Dormitory Council
shall automatically refer to
Interdormitory Council any case
involving a second infraction.
Any subsequent violations shall
be automatically referred to the
Honor Court. As is the practice
with any particularly serious or
flagrant violations of any policy,
Dormitory Council reserves the
right to refer any such case in-
volving this policy to a higher
court than the one stipulated
above.

The following resolutions
were also approved:

ing Changes in Membership of B.

Trustees honor Alston

The Agnes Scott College
Board of Trustees has an-
nounced the designation of a
half million dollars in endow-
ment funds for a Wallace Mc-
Pherson Alston Chair of Bible
and Religion as a tribute to Dr.
Alston, who retires from the col-
lege July 1 after 22 years as pres-
ident. This announcement and
additional tributes honoring the
president were made at a recent
luncheon meeting of the board.

Board Chairman Hal L. Smith
of Atlanta announced the elec-
tion of Dr. Alston as President
Emeritus of Agnes Scott.

Trustee and Agnes Scott
alumna Mrs. James M. (Suzella
Burns) Newsome of Paducah,
Ky., announced that the pro-
posed student center would be
named the Wallace M. Alston
Student Activities Building.

In addition, Smith presented
to Dr. Alston on behalf of the
board an engraved sterling silver
plaque describing the president
as a "distinguished scholar, ef-
fective administrator, creative
leader, eloquent preacher, com-
passionate and gracious friend"
and engraved with the trustees'
signatures.

Trustee Emeritus John A.
Sibley, an Atlanta banker long
active in higher education, deliv-

ered the opening luncheon
speech in which he characterized
Dr. Alston as having "a depth of
humility and a depth of wisdom
that few men have."

Several gifts were also pre-
sented to Dr. and Mrs. Alston
for their personal use, including
an automobile.

Earlier this spring alumnae,
faculty, administrators and
friends honored President Alston
by presenting the college an en-

dowment gift to establish the
Wallace McPherson Alston Scho-
larship Fund. This same group
gave Dr. and Mrs. Alston a sav-
ings account for travel or any
other purpose they choose.

The Agnes Scott student
body feted President and Mrs.
Alston at a Monday-Sundae par-
ty May 21 and presented them
with a gift for their new home at
Norris Lake near Lithonia.

Trueblood to speak

by EVA GANTT

Professor D. Elton True-
blood, scholar of philosophy and
religion, will speak at Agnes
Scott's eighty-fourth commence-
ment ceremony on June 3.

Trueblood has been a pro-
fessor-at-large since 1966. He
was professor of philosophy at
Earlham College in Richmond,
Ind., from 1946 to 1966. He was
professor of the philosophy of
religion and university chaplain
at Stanford from 1936 to 1945.
Professor Trueblood became a
fellow of Woodbrooke College in
England in 1939; he also served
as a lecturer at Swarthmore Col-
lege, England, in that year. He
has held teaching positions at

several other institutions.

Trueblood was chief of
religious information for the U.
S. Information Agency from
1954 to 1955. He served as
executive secretary of the Balti-
more Yearly Meeting of Friends
in 1930-33.

Professor Trueblood holds a
number of academic and honor-
ary degrees, including a Ph.D.
from Johns Hopkins (1934), a
Litt.D. from Washington and

Miami University (1951). He has
studied at Harvard, at Hartford
Theological Seminary, at Brown
University, and at Iowa's William
Penn College, of which he is a
trustee.

Whereas, REP Council is the
liaison between the administra-
tion and the student body;
therefore,

Resolved, that the following
changes be made in the Constitu-
tion:

Article IX, Section 2: Mem-
bership:

The following to be added:
O. Chairman of the Honor
Court.

P. One representative from
REP Council.

The following to be changed
to read as follows:

N. One representative of The
Profile in an advisory and non-

RC 160
RC 160: Resolution Regard-
ing SGA Retreat.

Whereas, most boards have
deemed it necessary to hold re-
treat meetings prior to the open-
ing of the fall quarter; and

Whereas, there should be
campus-wide coordination of re-
treat activities; therefore,

Resolved, that Article IX of
the Student Government Associ-
ation By-Laws be amended to
read as follows:

Official retreat meetings for
all SGA boards who desire them
will be held the day before the
freshmen arrive, when the dorms
and the dining hall are opened
for students who are involved in
the retreat meetings. SGA, under
the direction of the vice-presi-
dent of SGA and the chairman
of BSA, will coordihate these
activities.

Business as usual

DECATUR, GA. - Reports that the world has ended were con-
firmed here today as rumors trickling in from the fringes of the
Agnes Scott campus were found to be true.

Reports from the Observatory and certain cottages indicate that
there is nothing to be seen on the opposite sides of streets bounding
ASC property. The Observatory has been unable to locate anything
over 10 feet above tree level.

Nellie Nurd, a student at the college, recalled hearing a faint
rumble the night before last while pulling an all-nighter in prepara-
tion for a Swahili test the next morning. Thinking it was her room-
mate mumbling in her sleep, she paid no attention.

Botany major Polly Plant reports getting up around 3:00 a.m. the
same night to check her night-blooming acanthus. "I was admiring
the blooms when all of a sudden a flash of lightning made them close
up. I was awfully disappointed, but now at least I'll know to keep it
in my closet," she said.

"My horoscope told me not to start anything I couldn't finish in
a day," remarked Connie Cosmic. "But it looks like I'm going to
have to write that term paper anyway. Nothing has happened to
keep it from being due."

College administrators state that exams will take place as usual
during the upcoming week. There has been some concern over the
possibility of students not receiving their grades until classes re-
sumed in the fall due to postal service delays. "I guess now it'll take
forever," commented one official.

Several faculty members noted a drop in class attendance, attrib-
uting it to the usual end-of-the-quarter panic and good sunbathing
weather. When confronted with the unaccountable absence of a
number of students, a common reply was, "With all the stuff I've
assigned, they'd better be holed up in the library."

There was a ger avoidance of the question as to what plans
for the future have been made by various members of the college. "I
don't have time to think about it until after exams are over," said
most. One student had noticed that she was no longer awakened by
train whistles at inconvenient times. "But then, there never was a
really good time for them to sound off anyway," she mused.

Life goes on at Agnes Scott. The year draws to a close amid no
more than the customary amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth
over minor irritations such as difficulty in making off-campus phone
connections and running out of things which aren't sold in the book-
store. A few students expressed annoyance at the fact that buses no
longer go into Atlanta, not being entirely convinced that Atlanta
isn't there any more. Said one, "That's O. K., I'll be going home in a
few days."

At this time plans for re-opening the college in the fall are in-
definite, but as one official said, "The Board of Trustees would be a
little upset if we didn't. Actually, it would be easier than trying to
sell the place."

Before trusting God, one
must know what He is like. Both
Old and New Testaments show
Him as a God of uncompro-
mising love. In Jeremiah 31:3,
God says, "I have loved you
with an everlasting love; there-
fore I have drawn you with
loving kindness." God loves man
and wants him in fellowship
with Himself. God created the
human personality, so He knows
that a person cannot truly live
outside Him.

In John 3:16, God says: "For
God so loved the world, that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should
not perish, but have eternal
life." Instead of staying secure in
his divinity, God came to earth
as Jesus, who was tempted in all
ways as we are, .but who never
sinned. God, perfectly revealed
in Jesus, died for imperfect
people. Such love is beyond our
comprehension, but God did not
offer Himself grudgingly for
man.

Man is great in God's
image, a being with choice - but
man is in ruins naturally sin-
ful. Romans 5:8 says: "But God
demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us."
God loves all people for their
potential. He loves all men,
Christian or not.

Because Jesus was God, His
death in history can bridge the
gap between man and God, to
put anyone who is willing into a
real relationship with God.
Hebrews 10:10 says: "We have
been sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all." God for-
gives completely, not waiting to
condemn later on.

Accepting Christ is not mere-
ly "fire-insurance"; nor is it only
waiting for something good in
the distant future. Rather, Jesus
says: "I came that they might
have life, and might have it
abundantly." The abundant life
begins immediately after re-
ceiving Christ.

The Bible promises that a per-
son on earth can grow closer and
closer to God. When one accepts
Christ, he receives the Holy
Spirit: God comes to live inside
him. The Spirit inside him can
produce tangible results: "...
the fruit of the Spirit is love,
peace, patience, kindness, good-
ness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control." No one is Spirit-
controlled all the time, so Jesus'
forgiveness works for sins com-
mitted after receiving Christ.

I John 4: 1 2 says: "... God
abides in us, and His love is per-
fected in us." This process is
continual in the Christian life.
Since God knows His children
have great potential because of
their faith, Hebrews 11:16 says:
"... God is not ashamed to be
called their God; for He has pre-
pared a city for them." Some-
times, we find it easy to think of
humbleness as self-abasement,
but even a holy, loving God is
not ashamed of His children.
The God who loves com-

mands people to love in I John
4:20: "If someone says, 'I love
God,' and hates his brother, he is
a liar; for the one who does not
love his brother whom he has
seen, cannot love God whom he
has not seen."

Love is not squishy; it does
not compromise in the face of
evil. Psalm 97:10 says, "Hate
evil, you who love the Lord."
Christians must hate evil precise-
ly because they love God. One is
to love his neighbor as himself.
Loving both himself and his
neighbor, he is still to hate the
evil both in himself and in his
neighbor. Discerning evil, he is
not to be judgmental, for evil
also abides in himself.

In love, God corrects people:
"... whom the Lord loves He
reproves" (Proverbs 3:12). The
Old Testament records God's
continual discipline of His stray-
ing people, whom He loves. Yet
He is not a clan God, ever;
Psalms, Jonah, and other books
testify amply that He is God of
all nations. After the holocaust
of Jeremiah's day, Lamentations
3:33 says: "... He does not
afflict willingly / Or grieve the
sons of men." He hates to hurt
mankind; He offers restoration
whenever man accepts it.

Under God's forgiveness
through Jesus Christ, a person

need never have a relationship
with God based on fear. I John
4:18 says: "There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casts out
fear, * because fear involves
punishment, and the one who
fears is not perfected in love."
Romans 8:38-39 gives assurance
that absolutely nothing in life or
death can separate the person
who trusts in God from God.

Letters

To the Editor:

Re: The Letter to the Editor
from "Concerned Maids" print-
ed in the May 10 issue of The
Profile.

We concur with the views, ex-
pressed in their letter since the
maids, as contributing members
of the Agnes Scott community,
should have a right to a receptive
administrative ear for any legiti-
mate grievances. In order to
assure the effective voicing of
grievances, some organization is
necessary.

We would therefore like to
lend our support to the maids'
suggestion that staff meetings be
reinstated. Perhaps the topic of
discussion at the first meeting
could be the question of delayed
pay raises.

Governor's race

by KAY PINCKNEY

Even though 1974 is still half
a year away, several competitors
for the Georgia governorship are
off and running, at least in the
Democratic party. For my last
Perspective for The Profile, I
offer my observations on the
prospects for the upcoming gov-
ernor's race.

Hon. Lester G. Maddox, pres-
ently lieutenant governor of
Georgia, and formerly governor
(1966-1970), seeks re-election to
the governorship. All political
observers say that Maddox is the
"man to beat." He has a certain
type of charisma, showmanship,
and a reputation among many
people for honesty and "stand-
ing up for the little man." There
are other folks who see him as
an inept administrator, a politi-
cian who opts for expediency
over principle, and a man who
makes a good deal of his rapidly
increasing wealth off the "little
man" whose rights he so
staunchly defends.

According to a poll Maddox
recently conducted with voters
throughout the state, he is the
hands down favorite for gover-
nor in 1974. However, according
to more neutral observers' study
of the situation, Maddox's pop-
ularity may be slipping slightly,
especially in South Georgia, his
purported stronghold.

If Lester Maddox is beatable,
his (theoretical) victorious op-
ponent needs several assets. This
opponent should have no strong
ties, past or present, with Gover-
nor Jimmy Carter, a gentleman
whose present unpopularity
among Georgia voters has been
and may continue to be exploit-

ed by Maddox to his personal
advantage. Our mystery politi-
cian must be someone who
knows Lester Maddox well, can
expose his faults to the voters,
and can speak the language of
the "little man" as well or better
than Maddox. To win a political
race with Maddox, a politician
would need a strong basis of fi-
nancial support, since Maddox,
with all his business and religious
connections, will have a well-
financed campaign.

Of all the candidates to enter
(or publicly think of entering)
the governor's race at this writ-
ing, State Senator Bobby Rowan
of Enigma comes closest by far
to fitting the description of one-
who-(maybe)-could-defeat-
Maddox-in-1 974. Rowan is a for-
mer close ally of Maddox, and
knows him well. The reform
movement in the Georgia Senate
in 1973, which Rowan led, was
endorsed by Governor Carter,
but was by no means an active
Carter- Rowan effort. Bobby
Rowan, a South Georgia politi-
cian, is well versed in the verna-
cular of the "little man," and
has quite a flair for speech-
making. His only lack at this
point is finances.

If Bobby Rowan could defeat
Lester Maddox in the Democra-
tic primary, he would be the
next governor of Georgia, pro-
vided the Democratic party held
together against the Republi-
cans, who compose a minority
of the Georgia electorate.

The 1974 Georgia governor's
race, no matter what happens,
promises to "be a dogfight."

THE PROFILE / May 24, 1973

To Dr. and Mrs. Alston:

THE SILKEN TENT

She is as in a field a silken tent
At midday when a sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew -and all its ropes relent.
So that in guys it gently sways at ease,
And its supporting central cedar pole,
That is its pinnacle to heavenward
And signifies the sureness of the soul,
Seems to owe naught to any single cord,
But strictly held by none, is loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To everything on earth the compass round,
And only by one's going slightly taut
In the capriciousness of summer air
Is of the slightest bondage made aware.

Canoeing with movie stunt man

7

by LYNN LASSITER

The movie Deliverance, based
on the book by James Dickey,
has brought to the American
public's attention the sport of
canoeing on rapids. According to
Mary Alice Woodward, better
known as "Mouse," canoeing
and kayaking arc becoming quite
popular, not only among the
young, but also with adults.
Mouse reports that even Govern-
or Jimmy Carter is taking kayak
lessons.

A sophomore at Agnes Scott,
Mouse has been intensely in-
volved with the sport since
March of this year. In the past
two months Mouse has been
working with an organization,
Explorer Post 49, for which she
is presently an associate advisor.
Explorer Post 49 is an organiza-
tion similar to Boy Scouts, with
the exceptions that it is coed
and the members are somewhat
older, usually juniors or seniors
in high school.

The advisor of the Post is
Doug Woodward, Mouse's
cousin. Doug has been involved
with kayaking and canoeing for
twelve years. Doug, along with
Claude Terry and Payson Ken-
nedy, two other men affiliated
with the Post, served as con-
sultants and stand-ins for the
Warner Brothers' production
Deliverance. Doug Woodward
and Claude Terry were actually
in the movie for approximately
eight seconds.

First Race

Working with Post 49 has
provided Mouse with some
interesting opportunities. As a
team she and Doug entered the
Middle States Championship
held March 31 and April 1 of
this year. They entered the race
in a C-2 which Mouse described
as a decked canoe with two
cockpits. This was the first race
that Mouse had ever entered,
and was supposed to be used for
further training.

On April 14 Mouse entered
her second race, which was the
Kayak Race of the Dogwood
Festival. Here she won third
place. On May 5 and 6, Explorer
Post 49 taught canoeing lessons
in order to raise money. Mouse
explained that the club charged
$10 per person, which entitled
each individual to a safety lec-
ture and two days of demonstra-
tion and actual participation in
kayaking or canoeing on the

Chattahoochee River. Mouse
believed that the response was
very good, for over a hundred
people participated.

Since Mouse has been in-
volved with the club she has not
only entered races and taught
lessons, but has also made her
own kayak. She explained that
the whole process took approxi-
mately 30 hours to accomplish.
Her new kayak weighs approxi-
mately 35 pounds and she ex-
plains that it is lifted over the
shoulder and carried with one
hand.

Summer Plans

Mouse's plans for the summer
include a Northwestern expedi-
tion with 20 members of the
Post. The three-week trip, June
9 through July 4, will take
Mouse to four western states -
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho. In Denver the tour group
will meet a woman from Czecho-
slovakia, who before she defect-
ed from her country, was the
leading woman kayaker there.
This woman will be accompany-
ing the group for part of the
tour.

The members of Post 49 have
equipped a school bus with card
tables and bunks, and they plan
to travel for three weeks in this
conveyance. The group has ap-
plied for and received a National
Tour Permit which enables them
to stay at military bases and use
facilities such as barracks and
mess halls. The group plans to
take at least twelve kayaks with
them by placing them on top of
the bus. A three-day trip on the
Selway River makes it necessary
for the Post to take prepared
provisions for this segment of
the trip. Most of the time will be
spent "running the rivers" in the
four states.

Skills

Mouse explains that there are
three important skills to develop
in kayaking. First, the kayaker
must strengthen his arms in
order to deal effectively with
white water currents. Second,
the beginner learns to know and
read the rapids. One reason
Doug and his two friends were
chosen as consultants for
Deliverance was the fact that all
three men understood the
moods and currents of the Chat-
tooga River where the movie was
filmed. A third skill needed in
learning to maneuver the kayak

MOUSE WOODWARD (far right) shoots rapids on the Chattooga River.

is body control. Since the kayak
weighs so little, it is easily
maneuvered by a shift in the
body weight.

Mouse states that the movie
Deliverance has made a lot of
people head for the rivers, but
without taking some necessary
safety precautions. First, she
stresses the need for protective
equipment. There are two essen-
tial peices of equipment: a well-
fitting life jacket and a helmet
which protects the head from
rocks. She says that there are

just as many deaths caused by
skull fractures as drownings.

Mouse also cautions novices
on the river to develop the right
type of attitude; each person
should have a high respect for
the river. She believes that if
kayakers and other people on
the river will follow these two
precautions, the river can be
both safe and enjoyable.

Judge Roy Bean

Janet Jackson, outgoing President of the Agnes Scott Young
Democrats, with State Senator Max C/e/and, who spoke at
chapel on May JO.

by NANCY VICK
Profile Movie Editor

Judge Roy Bean is said to
have been an actual historical
personage, but he has been
shrouded in obscurity until his
life and times were brought to
the screen in, most appropri-
ately, The Life and Times of
Judge Roy Bean. The accuracy
of the account, however, is more
than questionable.

Paul Newman dominates the
scene as the outlaw-turned-judge
who transforms a center of un-
desirable desperados into a "re-
spectable" town for which he is
the law.

As time passes, the town inev-
itably becomes too respectable
for the judge's taste and too
large for his control. But for-
tunately the judge has the last
laugh.

The cast includes Psycho's
Anthony Perkins as a shady tra-
velling clergyman, Jacquelin Bis-
set as Rose Bean, and Roddy
McDowall as the despicable law-
yer. Ava Gardner's Lilly Langtry
is perhaps the most influential
presence, although she actually
appears only in the last minutes
of the film.

It is difficult to assess the per-
formance of the minor charac-
ters because of the overshadow-
ing of Newman's Bean. He is so
at home on the screen that his
portrayals are always good.

Judge Roy Bean is far from
realistic in plot or roles. It is a
western ballad put on film, not
meant to be pulled through the

intellectual wringer of critical
study. It offers an enjoyable eve-
ning at the movies.

And, incidentally, it includes
the song "Marmalade, Molasses,
and Honey," nominated for an
Oscar, apparently as the result of
a shortage of other available
nominees.
