Black Cat - Oct. 12-14
bonfire, picnic, play, Stone Mt., dance, party

by ANN FINCHER

Black Cat, the traditional cul-
mination of freshman orienta-
tion to Agnes Scott, is fast
approaching, and the weekend
of October 12-14 already pre-
sents a full calendar.

The weekend festivities offi-
cially begin at 9:00 p.m., Thurs.,
Oct. 11 when the campus com-
munity assembles in the amphi-
theatre for the bonfire and song
competition. The bonfire pro-
vides the official moment of re-
velation of the freshman mascot.

Friday is well named "Black
Cat Day". A "field day" is
scheduled from 3:30 to 5:30
p.m. on the Hockey Field. The
games and activities scheduled
include the traditional hockey
game with sister-class versus
sister-class teams. Following the
athletics, the Senior Class spon-
sor a picnic. The event of the
evening is the Black Cat produc-
tion at 7:30 p.m. in Gaines. A

Dale T. Luchsinger is the new
head librarian of McCain Li-
brary. The Wisconsin native re-
ceived his B.S. from Wisconsin
State College and his master's
degree in library science from
the University of Michigan. His
experience includes work in the
library at Sewanee Military
Academy in Tennessee, a year
teaching at Emory, and three
years as an assistant librarian at
the University of the South in
Sewanee immediately before
coming to Agnes Scott.

Mr. Luchsinger is married to a
librarian and the couple has a
five-year-old daughter, Caroline.

Mr. Luchsinger states that the
goal of his first year at McCain
Library is to become thoroughly
acquainted with students, the
college, and the library itself. It
is necessary to become "well
grounded," Mr. Luchsinger feels,
before the renovation and air
conditioning of the library
which will, hopefully, be begun
next year.

Among changes made over
the summer are the acquisition
of new turntables for the record
room on the first floor of. the

reception will follow the spoof
on life at Agnes Scott at a loca-
tion to be announced.

A picnic/playday, sponsored
by the Board of Student Activi-
ties, is planned for Sat., Oct. 13,
from l I :UU a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at
Stone Mountain. Transportation,
if needed, will be provided from
the college to the mountain. The
bring-your-own-picnic/playday
features games, fun, and live en-
tertainment. Dates are welcome,
but not essential.

Social Council is sponsoring
the Black Cat Dance from 8:30
p.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the same
Saturday at the Royal Coach
Inn. The band is the Great
American Showmen whose hits
include "49-24-36." The band's
repertoire includes goodtime r
dance, and beach music. For the
Black Cat Dance, the Great
American Showmen will play a
combination of contemporary
music.

library as well as a cassette play-
er. A new collection, found
opposite the circulation desk, of
current fiction and bestsellers or
"recreational reading" has also
been started.

Mr. Luchsinger estimates the
library's collection at "fair to
good," with the greatest strength
in literature. The major faculty
role in connection with the libra-
ry is in the selection of new
books and materials, Mr. Luch-
singer comments.

The policy of having a fresh-
man orientation to the library
has been continued this year,
with a tour of 15-20 minutes.
Mr. Luchsinger states that one
goal of the library is to equip
students to do graduate work in
another library. He says that
graduating students should be
"sophisticated in their use of the
library."

Among new members of the
McCain Library staff are Brenda
Prichett, a technical services
assistant, and an alumna, Mrs.
L alia Griffis Mangin, who is
working with periodicals and in
the reserve room.

A buffet of nuts, chips, dips
and hors d'oeuvres will be
served. Also a cash bar will be
set up in the foyer of the inn;
the standard price for drinks is
$1.25 each.

Dress is formal. Coat and tie
are required.

Tickets for the dance are on
sale in the cafeteria for $5.00
per couple. Tickets may also be

Anyone who has walked
through a grocery store in the
last few weeks has no doubt
been amazed at how much it
costs to feed a family of four or
five. Multiply those costs a hun-
dred times and one begins to see
the problems encountered by
Mrs. Saunders, the dietician in
the dining hall of Agnes Scolt.

Although many food items
are less expensive when bought
in large quantities, the dining
hall has nevertheless been
affected by both price increases
and food shortages. Those who
like raisins on their cereal at
breakfast will have noticed that

bers of Social Council. Tickets
are prenumbered and must be
presented at the door of the ball-
room where each person must
also have his hand stamped. The
stamp permits re-entry if an indi-
vidual leaves the ballroom.

A map providing directions to
the Royal Coach Inn will appear
in next week's Profile.

The final event of the week-
end is the Musical Sundae Party,
from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.,

day dinner.

the dining hall no longer has
them. Difficult to find in gro-
cery stores, raisins cannot be
bought in the large quantities
needed for serving institution-
ally.

A shortage which has received
much public attention is the
scarcity and rising cost of meat,
specifically beef. As the main
shortage took place over the
summer, the dining hall was not
affected by the difficulty most
consumers had in obtaining beef.
Mrs. Saunders stated that now as
much beef could be bought as
could be paid for. However, she
added, due to the high price of

steak, for example, steak will
only be served on rare occasions.

Chicken prices have doubled
and while eggs remain the least
expensive source of protein, the
kitchen staff has difficulty in
finding ways to serve eggs at
lunch and dinner which suit the
students' tastes. The kitchen
freezer is fairly small and only a
few days' supply of meat can be
stored.

Meat is not the only item
which has increased in price,
noted Mrs. Saunders. The cost of
potatoes has doubled and is ex-

Pots, posters, food, clothes.
Airplane rides, orchids, cases of

Tues., Sept. 19, in the Hub, the
Faculty Wives' Club presented
their wares, cuisine, and fun to
the students of Agnes Scott.

All proceeds from the fair are
donated to the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Fund. This scholarship,
established in memory of the
late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
gives financial aid to black stu-
dents attending Agnes Scott.
This year, $1,637.87 was raised
in the one-day effort.

The wives of male professors
sponsor this event every year,
contributing their handiwork,
devising raffles, and meeting stu-
dents. One of the earliest events
of the year, the fair gives stu-
dents an opportunity to meet
new students, buy room decora-
tions, and ease hunger pains.

TjotQ get uppity

Before I proceed with my back-to-school pep talk, I would like to
tell new students and remind old ones of what the Profile is here for.
It is here mainly to be used. Besides keeping the campus community
informed about that which goes on at ASC and points elsewhere,
this publication can serve as a means of sounding off to the whole
college at once. No matter what it is that needs to be known, there's
nothing like a newspaper to spread it around. This year the Profile
will be published weekly in order to do a better job in covering both
news and opinions.

And now the pep talk. The point I wish to make is this: Scotties
are for the most part too "nice". By this I do not mean courteous or
polite in the superficial ways necessary to make things go smoothly
in ordinary dealings with others.

What I mean has a lot to do with the apathy you've all heard
about. It appears to be decreasing, but it's far from gone. You don't
have to be either ugly or petty in disagreeing with things you'd like
to see changed. What we need is a firmness and a resolution to see
things through to the end.

We're too afraid to stepping on toes. One advantage of being a
freshman is that you aren't fully enough acquainted with the system
to know why some things are as they are. Thus absurdities are all the
more glaring. Yet at the same time you still don't know how far you
can go in any given direction. Try to learn your way around without
getting accustomed to inconsistencies you may see.

The big things, the important things which make Scott what it is
are sound. Thus if you are discontented with the small things, there
is no reason to be afraid to stand up against anything which detracts
from the larger ones.

The Profile

As students who devoted a
great deal of time, thought, and
effort to an attempt to make
student opinions heard on an
issue of vital concern to the stu-
dent body, we would like to
register our extreme disappoint-
ment at the disregard accorded
the Student Services
Committee's report on the infir-
mary.

We realize that major
changes, particularly in person-
nel, must be made carefully and
thus - too often slowly. We
can understand, therefore, the
inability of the administration to
act immediately on some of the
sweeping suggestions made by
the Committee on the basis of
students' responses to our ques-
tionnaire in May, 1972.

On one particular point, how-
ever, we are at a loss to compre-
hend the administration's com-
plete lack of positive action. The
issue to which we refer is that of
infirmary fees. On the student
questionnaire, a sizeable propor-
tion of the students responding
expressed their objections to the
fee system, many reporting that
they were misled by the College
Bulletin's statement that "ordi-
nary infirmary service" is pro-
vided without charge.

Our committee, realizing that
financial considerations would
probably prevent the college's
free provision of additional "or-
dinary" service beyond examina-
tions and accomodations in the
infirmary, made what we con-
sider to be a reasonable and valid
suggestion that the catalogue
statement in reference to fees be
made more explicit as to what
services are considered "ordi-
nary."

This recommendation was
presented as a part of the Com-
mittee's report on the infirmary
in the fall quarter of the
1972-1973 session to the Office
of the Dean of Students. The
1 973-1974 Bulletin, 'however,
issued in May, 1973, carries the
same ambiguous statement
found in earlier issues. In our
opinion, the retention of this
statement after having its mis-
informing effects called to the
attention of the administration

constitutes not only a show of
disregard for the opinions of stu-
dents but also a deliberate
attempt to mislead future stu-
dents.

We ask for no explanation for
this action or lack of action
by the administration. We sim-
ply express our regret and frus-
tration in discovering that our
efforts and the concerns of the

students of this college have
been absolutely ignored.

ASC welcomes new blood

by PATTY PEARSON

Ellen Gilliam Perry

Making a move is usually a
major task, but Ellen Perry,
Agnes Scott's new "First Lady",
said that things could have been
worse. Painters were invading
the Perry's house and during the
course of our chat (I afterwards
decided that "interview" was
such a cold term for such a

pected to increase again. Due to
the exportation of soybeans to
Russia, a shortage of grains is an-
ticipated. This involves rice,
corn, and wheat. Bread and flour
prices have already drastically in-
creased.

The few cake mixes used by
the dining hall staff have become
difficult to obtain. The manu-
facturers of these mixes have en-
countered the same problems
that the consumer has faced in
buying the ingredients they
need.

The kitchen staff is trying to
stretch things a little farther. Be-
cause oleo has jumped from 19
cents to 46 cents a pound, they
are now using less oleo in cook-
ing vegetables.

Mrs. Saunders said that they
had been surprised to see that al-
though enrollment had dropped,
the same amount of food was
consumed at each meal as last
year. She added that usually
after fall quarter, the students
begin to eat less and complain
more about weight gain and
starchy food.

The suggestion was made by
Mrs. Saunders that though the
students should feel free to eat
all they want, they should take
just a little the first time and
then come back. "If the student
wants half a glass of milk, we
would hope that she would just
take half a glass instead of taking
a full glass and leaving the other
half to be thrown away."

warm and lovefy person), Mrs.
Perry received two phone calls.
She suggested that perhaps we
should "go up the chimney" to
talk, but it was very homey in
the library with all the bustle
around.

The faculty and staff, she
said, were "marvelous" , and
that no day went uninterrupted,
so many interesting people
dropped in for a visit.

When the -Perrys saw all the
bookshelves in Dr. Alston's
vacated office, Mrs. Perry wished
they hadn't given away so many
books so that these shelves could
have been completely filled.
(With each successive move, Dr
and Mrs. Perry have given away
books from their own collection
which they were certain they
could find copies of in a library.)

Her first impressions of Agnes
Scott were made through the
years in meeting alumnae. Mrs.
Perry found ASC alumnae gener-
ally "vital, interesting, and
bright." Her first visit here last
April impressed upon her the
"friendliness and graciousness"
of the campus community. One
thing in particular she noted was
a general lack of homesickness
among students due to an open-
ness on the part of other stu-
dents to talk and to listen.

Mrs. Perry has many
"bouncy" ideas for and about
Agnes Scott; she is still learning,
however, the people to go
through to transfer ideas to
actions. She also feels that some
ideas may be a little premature
and that opportunities for ex-
pression of ideas may later be-
come apparent. She stated that
she is vitally interested in stu-
dent opinion.

There were, though, a few
specific ideas that Mrs. Perry
shared. She said that she hopes
our "woman power" holds up
because she sees areas and organ-
izations that Scott girls could
improve in the Decatur/Atlanta
area through their interest and
enthusiasm. She also hopes that
males might become involved
with service projects in conjunc-
tion with Scott, for to her it
seems a better opportunity to
meet the guys than an "artifi-
cial" blind-date situation.

Another idea Mrs. Perry ex-
pressed was that perhaps news-
papers, which would normally

Mrs. Perry and her daughter
Betsy are both alumnae of
Sweetbriar in Virginia. The
Perrys' other daughter, Margaret,
is spending a year in France.
Mrs. Perry is becoming involved
in Decatur community affairs
and church functions. (The
Perrys attend Decatur Presby-
terian Church).

Cochran

Among new faculty members
is Augustus (Gus) Cochran. The
political science professor is a
native of Athens and received his
B.A. from Davidson College. His
graduate study was begun at In-
diana University in Blooming-
ton, Ind. and completed last
September when he received his
Ph.D. from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Mr. Cochran and his wife
Martha have no children but do
have a dog whose name they
change periodically.

Mr. Cochran states that he
chose Agnes Scott because he
was interested in "a small liberal
arts college" that was "strong
academically." Because of his in-
terest in Southern politics, he
preferred to remain in the
South. The professor comment-
ed that despite his interest in
politics, he has no personal poli-
tical ambitions.

In the History and Political
Science Department, Mr. Coch-
ran teaches courses related to
American government and politi-
cal, thought while Mr. Orr han-
dles international and compara-
tive politics.

Leonard

\ jaunt to Manuels, an in-
formal talk in his office, a good
discussion in class, a field trip to
the north Georgia mountains
all these are situations where our
new art instructor Charles
Leonard looks to know his stu-
dents better.

Included in the reasons that
he is attracted to Agnes Scott
are the smaller classes and closer,
more personal relationships.
Again he wants the rapport
which should exist between stu-
dents and teacher.

Therefore it is only fitting
that the campus know of one of
Mr. Leonard's chief pleasures
riding a motor scooter. (Inter-
ested parties are trying to per-
suade him to race the 12:35
train.) Other pasttimes include
cleaning up and overhauling the
garden behind his house, taking
his two-year-old son for a walk,
and fiddling with flamenco gui-
tar music. But of course, most of

his time is put into his art.

At present Mr. Leonard is ex-
perimenting with films. Already
he has made three educational
films which are used at the Uni-
versity of Tennessee, but he pro-
duces less conventional works as
well. Investigating the technical
possibilities of the media, he has
made films to be shown on
three-dimensional shapes, films
of animated objects, and films of
press-on letters.

Mr. Leonard received his B.S.
degree from the University of
Tennessee and his M.F.A. from
the University of Georgia.

Evans

The new member of the
Speech and Drama Department
is William H.C. Evans. Mr. Evans
received his B.A. from Transyl-
vania College and his M.A. from
Kansas University in 1963. He is
completing a Ph.D. in theatre
from Kansas University.

Mr. Evans worked as a set de-
signer for the Kansas University
theatre from 1969 until coming
to Agnes Scott. His specialty is
set and costume design; he finds
dress rehearsal one of the most
exciting nights in the theatre.

Agnes Scott is an ideal loca-
tion for Mr. Evans because he
wanted to be at a small, personal
college in the South near a
metropolitan area. He is especi-
ally interested in quality theatre.

Mr. Evans comments that he
prefers educational theatre to
the rat race of professional thea-
tre. Among the responsibilities
of educational theatre, says Mr.
Evans, is an obligation to train
professionals and a responsibility
to the community to provide
good theatre that might not be
available elsewhere. Educational
theatre provides an opportunity
to work in an expressive art
form and shares with the profes-
sional theatre the responsibility
of keeping good theatre alive.

Mr. Evans' interests include
art, art history, music, and
weaving.

Kelley

Mary (Molly) Kelley joins the
Agnes Scott faculty this fall as as
assistant in biology.

Miss Kelley, a native of San
Diego, Calif., received her bache-
lor's degree in biology from
Randolph-Macon Woman's Col-
lege earlier this year. She hopes
to further her training in grad-
uate school and perhaps in medi-
cal school.

As an assistant in biology, she
helps with the taching of some
laboratories and serves as lab
assistant for upper-level courses.

PAGE 3

Outside her work, Miss Kelley
enjoys hiking and camping.

Bao

Mr. Benjamin C-P Bao has
also joined the Agnes Scott fac-
ulty as an instructor in the
French Department and director
of the language laboratory. Mr.
Bao received his B.A. from Hope
College in Holland, Mich, and his
M.A. from Michigan State Uni-
versity.

Visiting

Constance Anne Jones is a
visiting professor in sociology
for fall and winter quarters. Ms.
Jones is currently a candidate
for the Ph.D. from Emory Uni-
versity.

Monsieur Raphael Molho is a
visiting professor in the French
Department while Chantal Hupe
has joined Agnes Scott to lead
the French Hall and help with
the French Table and French
club.

Ms. Jacqueline N. Hill is a
visiting professor in the Psycho-
logy Department. In addition to
her teaching duties at Agnes
Scott, Ms. Hill is a practicing
child psychologist.

can to win the prestigious Chopin International Piano Competition
in Warsaw. He has also been the winner of Italy's Busoni Prize and
Montreal's International Piano Competition.

Now performing more than ninety concerts a year, Ohlsson re-
cently returned from a highly successful tour of Germany, England,
Scotland and Japan.

Ohlsson, born in White Plains, New York, began studying piano at
the age of eight at the Westchester Conservatory of Music. At age
thirteen, he became a pupil of Sascha Gorodnitsky at the Juilliard
School and later studied with Olga Barabini, his present teacher.

' Tom Paine ' no pain

by GENIE LASTER

Paul Foster's "Tom Paine,"
under the direction of Kelly
Morris, is currently being pre-
sented at Kelly's Seed & Feed
Theatre. Performances are at
8:00 on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday until October 7.

"Tom Paine" is not typical
biography. Basically a musical,
the play is loosely and freely
structured, incorporating sar-

Thomas Paine a man truly
without a country; exiled first
from his native Britain, later
from America, the country he
loves. The play deals essentially
with Paine's struggles against the
church, the military, and the
state.

The performance is especially
excellent; the cast listing too
long to mention all. Special
notice should be given to Kelly
Greene, who portrays Thomas
Paine.

The theatre is more or less
Emory based. Morris, director of
the theatre, is thirty years of
age. He was educated at Exeter,
Notre Dame, and Tulane. Morris
directed at Emory for three
years (1969-1972), and has pub-
lished a book, entitled, Genet-
lonesco: The Theatre of the
Double (Bantam, 1969).

Kelly's Seed & Feed Theatre
is strictly a non-profit organiza-
tion. Its purpose is to introduce
and involve Atlanta in con-
temporary theatre. It is in-
formal, unstructured, and volun-
teer. Admission is $1.00, Cokes
still 10 cents. Everyone is invited
to come and encouraged to be-
come involved.

DR. PERRY REVEALS

BSA practical courses

by MARENE EMANUEL

Know how to change a tire? How about checking your oil? For
you who own a car, but depend solely on the gas station to keep it
in repair, or for you who want to have something to talk about on
that blind date, we have just the thing for you. On October 18th and
25th, BSA begins the first in a series of practical courses with a class
in auto mechanics.

The class, to be conducted by Mr. Henry Harris, will cover the
basic fundamentals of car repair and safety. Mr. Harris, a teacher at
Clayton Junior College, has previously taught a "Women on Wheels"
course at the Atlanta YWCA. To be held in the Rebeccah' Reception
Room at 7:30-8:30 p.m., the course promises to be both entertain-
ing and informative for everyone.

More of these classes, including consumer information and in-
come tax courses, are to be sponsored by BSA during the entire
year. Check upcoming issues of the Profile for details.

Student artwork at High

by MARENE EMANUEL

Three Agnes Scott students have had their entries accepted at the
semi-annual jury show held at the High Museum in Atlanta. Sept. 24,
Ann Kerner, Margaret Williams, and Mary Anne Bleker submitted
their work for judging. The following day, their designs were
accepted by the jury.

Any artist may enter his paintings and/or craftwork in the compe-
tition held in the spring and fall of each year. All entries are con-
sidered by the jury of artists and critics. Those accepted are put up
for sale in the art shop at the High. Prices are set by the artists
themselves before their work is judged. Accepted pieces may be
offered for sale from three to six months.

Anyone interested in buying a few new pieces or in seeing a
display of fine artwork in which Scott is represented is encouraged
to visit the art shop at the High Museum.

Three profs released;
enrollment the cause

AAUP meeting

All members of the Faculty are invited to attend the first meeting
of the year of the Agnes Scott Chapter of the American Association
of University Professors, on Tuesday, October 16, in the Faculty
Club.

There will be coffe at 4:30 before the program begins at 5:00.
The program will be an informal exchange of views with President
Perry concerning the role of AAUP on this campus.

by JOYCE McKEE

"In a time of below-average
enrollments in many colleges, in-
cluding Agnes Scott, the College
has found it necessary to reduce
by one member three of its
largest departments," President
Marvin Perry stated in an inter-
view for the Profile. Agnes Scott
rnft^t also maintain flexibility in
the faculty. For these reasons,
last year three members of the
faculty were given terminal one-
year appointments. They are:
Martin Bordener, instructor in
biology; David Robson, assistant
professor of history; and Mark
Siegchrist, assistant professor of
English.

The decision to make these
three appointments terminal was
made by former president
Wallace M. Alston in conjunc-
tion with Julia Gary, Dean of
Faculty. Dr. Perry emphasized
that this decision in no way re-
flects a dissatisfaction with these
faculty members nor does it sig-
nal the beginning of wholesale
cuts in the faculty. Dr. Perry al-
so believes that course offerings
by the History, Biology, and
English Departments will not be
adversely affected.

Dr. Perry explained the
rationale for the decision is two-
fold. First, with decreased en
rollment the student-faculty
ratio has fallen to approximately
7:1. 10:1 is considered an excel-
lent ratio. Also, over two-thirds

Y^y/^x- Coa.c\a

he

of the ASC faculty is tenured.
Once an individual becomes ten-
ured, he or she may not be re-
leased except for "moral turpi-
tude" or "gross incompetence".
As more faculty become ten-
ured, flexibility is lost. Student
interests change and therefore
some specialties are in greater
demand. The ability to hire to
fit changing academic interests is
one advantage of having a fac-
ulty that is not so highly ten-
ured.

Retiring from the faculty
next year are: Florence Dunstan,
professor of Spanish; M.
Kathryn Glick, professor of clas-
sical languages and literatures;
and Roberta Winter, professor of
speech and drama. Richard
Wolters, assistant professor of
philosophy, will also be leaving.
Dr. Perry pointed out that re-
placements are planned for these
four departments.

Dr. Perry expressed his inten-
tion of improving faculty salaries
and fringe benefits. He also
stated that these changes in fac-
ulty are being made in accord-
ance with the procedure recom-
mended by the American Associ-
ation of University Professors.

Dr. Perry also revealed that
he and the Scholarship Commit-
tee will be examining the work/
study scholarship program. Cur-
rently, a student must accept
work to receive a grant-in-aid.
Also, each job is valued the same
whether it is hostess duty, li-
brary work, or switchboard
duty, etc.

The program which Dr. Perry
and others will be considering in-
volves paying each student di-
rectly without hinging accept-
ance of a job to receiving a
grant-in-aid. Jobs would be
graded with the pay scale deter-
mined by the skills needed. Pre-
ference would be given to scho-
larship students, but any student
could apply for a position which
was left unfilled. This provision
would help the college since
more job hours are available
than student service hours. Dr.
Perry emphasized that Agnes
Scott today offers any student
financial help, commensurate
with the need level set by the
College Scholarship Service, so
that no student need ever turn
Agnes Scott down because of
lack of money.

Dr. Perry stated that Agnes
Scott has a substantial and heal-
thy endowment. With decreased
enrollment, students are now
paying less than half of what is
needed to run the college. Dr.
Perry stated that with full enroll-
ment (around 750), students
would account for "a fairer
share of the annual Agnes Scott
budget." A decision to raise
tuition for the 1974-1975 school

(continued on page 2)

Dean Jones
on current
changes for
work program

One reason for examining the
work/study scholarship program
is the declining number of parti-
cipants due to decreased enroll-
ment:

1971- 1972 176 participants

1972- 1973 158 participants
1972-1974 131 participants

To help alleviate the shortage,
changes in allotment of student
service hours were made. Each
dormitory opens at 3 p.m. and
guests may enter the lobby;
however, the hostess desk is un-
attended until 4 p.m. Another
individual has been employed to
cover the switchboard so fewer
student service hours would be
required; the bookstore has also
hired a new person.

In an interview with the Pro-
file, Dean of Students Roberta
Jones said the proposal for a re-
vamping of the program merited
serious considerations because
of:

1) educational benefits as the
student manages her money
and her time

2) higher morale among those
who do student service work

3) the possibility that more
kinds of jobs could be opened
to students

4) the possibility that fewer
students would seek off-
campus employment

5) enough students seeking
jobs could fill all positions.
Dean Jones also noted that

the proposed change in system
would increase the work of the
Treasurer's Office in making the
payroll.

THE PROFILE / October 12, 1973

A question
of balance

HERE AND NOW

No department is eager to dismiss one of its members for simply
economic reasons. There is of course no evidence of "gross incom-
petence" or "moral turpitude" here; the story on page 1 makes clear
the problems of inflation and low enrollment.

In turn, no student is happy to find that there will no longer be
someone to teach certain courses which she is interested in taking.
Especially when they involve her major. Two of the affected depart-
ments, though suffering definite losses, will be able to compensate
for this without drastically reducing their offerings.

In the biology department two positions will be combined in such
a way that one person can do the work. In English there are two
faculty members for almost every specialized field. By redistributing
the course load the department can still offer a balanced variety of
courses.

It does not require a history major, however, to appreciate the
degree to which the history department would be weakened by the
removal of one half of the American history personnel. Prospective
students, which we need to attract if we are to solve our basic
problems, would be less than sufficiently impressed by the restric-
tions in this area, particularly those contemplating a major in it.

A proposed American studies program centered around history
would be impossible, as well as plans for a fitting observance of the
nation's bicentennial (if enrollment were still not large enough by
that time).

In short, the department would be seriously handicapped (even
more so than the others) without someone to fill the position to be
vacated. I. am not qualified to suggest alternatives as far as other
departments are concerned. Perhaps there are non-academic corners
which may be cut withless harm to the foundation of Agnes Scott's
reputation.

But the decision is not irrevocable. Yet without the expression
of carefully considered opinion it might as well be. What is your
reaction? You tell us, and we'll tell everyone else.

Is man's will really free?

by ANGELYNN McGUFF

Twentieth century man often
does not know what to believe
about what man is. But modern
man's thinking on this subject
can be divided into several
classes of thought. One point of
view (atheism) says that imper-
sonal sources, plus time, plus
chance, produced man. Because
atheism gives no source which is
adequate for making freewill in
man, it leaves no room for be-
lieving that man makes genuine
decisions of 8ny kind.

Another point of view (pan-
theism) believes that God and
the things in the universe are one
and the same. God is non-
personal an It instead of a He.
An It cannot makes choices;
therefore, It cannot be the
source of anyone who can make
choices.

A third view (agnosticism)
simply declines to answer, or be-

year has not yet been made. Dr.
Perry, however, pointed out that
if tuition is increased, the
amount of financial aid available
will also be increased.

Among improvements which
are planned for the physical
plant and scheduled to begin this
year are the addition of uniform
signs for the buildings, improved
lighting, the renovation of some
walks and planting of shrubs and
trees. Planned for the immediate
future is the approximately
$400,000 renovation of the li-
brary including air-conditioning,
some carpeting, and new, more
comfortable furniture.

Dr. Perry stated that he hopes
Gaines Chapel and Maclean can
also be air-conditioned to be
available for conferences this
summer. Using the college for
conferences would keep parts of
the physical plant in constant
operation, give staff which are
now without jobs in the summer
an opportunity for year-round
employment, and create oppor-
tunities for people to become
better acquainted with ASC.
Hopefully, Dr. Perry com-
mented, one of the larger dorms
can also be air-conditioned to
make the college even more
attractive for summer guests.

lieves that man is unabie to an-
swer, the questions: who am I?
what produced me? For this rea-
son, agnosticism never answers
the basic question about man:
does man choose, or are man's
choices illusions?

The final view (Christianity)
says that God is a Person a He,
not an It. He is Spirit; He has a
consciousness of His own exist-
ence. As a Being, God can
choose, and God created man
(male and female) in His image
so that they can choose. There-
fore, man is someone; man has a
consciousness; man is responsi-
ble to Someone for his moral
and intellectual decisions.

Throughout histoty, man-

made ethical systems are based
on the belief that man can
choose moral values; when peo-
ple disagree, they act as if they
can choose one ethical system
over another.

So the question is: why does
man consistently believe in his
own able-to-chooseness? The
judaistic-Christian God, Who is a
Person and Who can choose, is
the only adequate answer for
man with his able-to-chooseness.
Non-personal sources - non-
intellectual, non-moral sources
are unlikely to produce man,
who views himself as a choosing
being an intellectual and a
moral being.

Martin to perform
at Presser Hall

Raymond Martin, professor of music at Agnes Scott, will give an
organ recital on Tuesday, October 16, 1973, at 8:15 P. M. in Presser
Hall. The first part of the program will be on the Schlicker Organ in
MacLean and the second half on the Austin Organ in Gaines. The
program will be only an hour in length and informal dress is en-
couraged for students. The Music Department is trying to encourage
students to attend music events on campus without feeling they have
to dress up and lose a whole evening of study.

FIVE MINISTERIAL COUNSELORS

PROGRAM

NICOLAUS BRUHNS

(1665-1697)
Prelude and Fugue in E Minor

Bruhns, a student of Dietrich
Buxtehude, composed for
chorus, strings and keyboard in-
struments. He was a virtuoso
performer on the organ, the
violin and the vioi da gamba, and
was fond of such stunts as play-
ing the violin and accompanying
himself on the organ pedals at
the same time. Fritz Stein writes
that "his compositions, though
constructed in many sections
with frequently changing
measures, are held together by
an audacious baroque-like fan-
tasy which may have appealed to
the young Bach who . . . was
among those who took Bruhns'
work as a model."

W. A. MOZART

(1756-1791)
Andante in F (K. 616)

In addition to Church Sona-
tas for organ and instruments,
Mozart wrote three composi-
tions for a "flute clock," a small
organ of flute pipes operated by
clockwork, which was a popular
mechanical device in 18th cen-
tury Germany. The Andante was
composed May 4, 1791, in Vi-
enna, only a few months before
his death.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

(1685-1750)
Sonata VI in G (S. 530)

Bach wrote six trio sonatas
for two manuals and pedals for
his eldest son, Wilhelm Fried-
man. Their charm lies in the
melodies, the close and animated
interplay of voices, and the ease
and flow of the polyphony. Al-
bert Schweitzer states that "for
the connoisseur there is hardly
purer aesthetic delight than to
pursue these three contrapuntal
lines so free and yet so bound
by the laws of beauty through
their delightful intertwining, to
say nothing of the perfection of
the themes."
MARCEL DUPRfe

(1886-1971)
Magnificat

V. He remembering his mercy
hath holpen his servant
Israel

VI. Gloria (Finale)
Celebrated all over the world

for his brilliant playing and
extraordinary improvisations,
Marcel Dupre as a composer is
known chiefly to organists, who
appreciate his creative gifts as
much as the audiences of Europe
and America admired his play-
ing. These two musical portray-
als of texts from the Song of
Mary, or Magnificat, are from
the composer's Fifteen Pieces for
Organ Founded on Antiphons,

Opus 18, written in 1920.
Schlicker Organ, 1970

INTERMISSION

RICHARD STEWART

(1942 -)
Prelude for Organ and Tape

The young composer was
born in Cleveland, Ohio, and
holds degrees from Baldwin -
Wallace College and Union
Theological Seminary. He is cur-
rently Associate Professor of
Music at Grand Rapids Baptist
College and Seminary, Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Mr. Stewart
writes the following preface to
the score of this interestingly
constructed piece: "The sounds
on the tape are all concrete (as
opposed to synthesized) and are
taken from small practice organs
at Union Theological Seminary.
The flute-like reverberating
notes in the notes in the first,
second, and last sections were
made by drawing all Choir,
Great, and Swell 8' Flutes,
coupling Swell to Great, then
holding the desired note or notes
on the Swell while tapping them
in steady rhvthm on the Great.
Since the different pitches had
to be made to fade in and out at
different times by manipulating
the recorder's volume control,
four tapes had to be made and
mixed together to produce the
final result. The low notes in the
third section were produced by
dropping the recorder's micro-
phone down 16' Bourdon pipes
to gather a steady tone of the
desired pitches, then turning this
steady tone into repeated notes
by operating the volume control
during playback. The high tones
were produced by recording
rapidly-played 8' Principal tones,
then increasing the tape recorder
speed by four times."

CESAR FRANCK

(1822-1890)
Grand Piece Symphonique

A n dan tin o Serioso Allegro
non troppo e maestoso

Andante Allegro - Andante

Allegro

Franck's classes at the Paris
Conservatory won for him the
title of "Father of the Modern
French School of Composition
and Organ Playing." This
symphonic suite demonstrates
the exquisite harmonies and
tonal colors of Franck. The
opening theme is developed in
sonata form. In the middle
group a lyrical, chromatic
melody is followed by a scherzo-
like movement after which the

Teacher Exams scheduled

College seniors preparing to
teach school may take the Na-
tional Teacher Examinations on
any of the four different test
dates announced by Educational
Testing Service, a nonprofit, ed-
ucational organization which
prepares and administers this
testing program.

New dates for the testing of
prospective teachers are: Novem-
ber 10, 1973, and January 26,
April 6, and July 20, 1974. The
tests will be given at nearly 500
locations throughout the United
States, ETS said.

Results of the National
Teacher Examinations are used
by many large school districts as
one of several factors in the
selection of new teachers and by
several states for certification or
licensing of teachers. Some col-
leges also require all seniors pre-
paring to teach to take the

examinations. The school sys-
tems and state departments of
education which use the examin-
ation results are listed in an NTE
leaflet entitled Score Users
which may be obtained by writ-
ing to ETS.

On each full day of testing,
prospective teachers may take
the Common Examinations
which measure their professional
preparation and general educa-
tional background and an Area
Examination which measures
their mastery of the subject they
expect to teach.

Prospective teachers should
contact the school systems in
which they seek employment, or
their colleges, for specific advice
on which examinations to take
and on which dates they should
be taken.

For the second year in a row
the Masland Duraleather Com-
pany of Philadelphia, Pa., offers
Agnes Scott students a chance to
compete in the Masland Duran
Cover Girl Program.

"What's this?" you say. Just
ask Mary Anne Shirley, national
1973 winner from Agnes Scott
College. She can tell you about
the $2,000 she won in scholar-
ships, the experiences she had in
the fascinating world of home
furnishings and interior design,
and the exciting trips she made
across the entire U.S.A.

Anyone here at Scott may en-
ter. If you are interested sign up
now in the Dean of Students'
office for an interview to be
given on Oct. 16 and 17.

Further details are available
in the Dean of Students' office.
Remember, there will definitely
be a winner from Agnes Scott
and she may be you!

We invited a few friends for dinner
and they helped clean up the Genesee River.

With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorga-
nisms, we're helping to solve the water pollution problem in
Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others.

What we did was to combine two processes in a way
that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying sys-
tems private industry has ever developed.

One process is called "activated sludge," developed
by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption.
What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can
produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will
happily assimilate it. And thrive on it.

The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found
a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling
filter process and optimized the combination.

We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years.

( At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement
long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked
so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify
36-million gallons of water a day.

Governor Rockefeller called this "the biggest volun-
tary project undertaken by private industry in support of
New York State's pure-water program."

Why did we do it? Partly because we're in business to
make a profit-and clean water is vital to our business. But in
furthering our own needs, we have helped further society's.
And our business depends on society.

We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will
inspire others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share
our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean
water. So we all have to work together.

Crime prevention forum
to be held here

by EVA GANTT

Agnes Scott is hosting a five-
part Crime Prevention Forum
designed to "equip the business-
man or the private citizen with
information needed to protect
himself, his personal property,
and his business."

Tutoring
at Beacon
School

by ANN FINCHER

Armed with two Superman
comics, a box of reading flash
cards, and a can of yellow acryl-
ic paint (washable), a Scott stu-
dent leaves the campus heading
for Beacon Elementary School
in Decatur. She is one of approx-
imately seventy students who
are participating in the Agnes
Scott/Beacon School Program,
an educational program spon-
sored by the education depart-
ment. The program allows Agnes
Scott students the experience of
"teaching" and provides fifth
and sixth graders at Beacon with
some individualized instruction.

While tutoring by Scott stu-
dents is not new, some changes
have occurred this year. In the
past, participants have worked in
eight elementary schools in the
Decatur area. This method of
operation had disadvantages due
to the inability to transport eas-
ily lab materials from the educa-
tion department and to the re-
strictions put on the availability
of department members, who
had to divide their time among
eight schools.

Last spring, Marge Ammons,
of the Education Department,
discovered an unused wing in
Beacon Elementary School and
approached Dr. Vee Simmons,
Assistant Superintendent of De-
catur schools, about the possi-
bility of consolidating the pro-
gram. The possibility became
reality, and during the summer
the city of Decatur painted eight
class rooms for the use of the
Agnes Scott/Beacon School Pro-
gram.

Scholarship & cars
why not?

You may have noticed that campus parking lots aren't as full this
year as they were last year. One reason is that the rule that students
on scholarships are not allowed to have cars on campus is being
enforced.

At first glance this seems fair. Why should students have scholar
ships when the money they spend on their cars could be used to pay
tuition? Surely if someone is well enough off to pay for a car plus
gas and insurance for it she can afford to pay her way to ASC if even
without a car.

But what about the student who buys a car at a relatively low
price with her own hard-earned money? There seems little reason for
denying her the fruits of her labor simply because her family is not
able to afford the full cost of college expenses.

A student who holds an off-campus job which requires automo-
bile transportation may be able to earn enough to pay for the car
that gets her there. If she is able to keep up with'her studies and do
her scholarship work as well as hold down another job, she should be
able to spend this extra money as she pleases (you can't do that with
scholarship money). Whether or not she spends it on a car is her own
business.

It's not as if students don't work for what they're getting. The
work students do saves hiring full-time employees who would be
more expensive in the long run and who wouldn't be paying thou-
sands of dollars to come here.

Dear Martha, Susan, and Judy:

This is to acknowledge your
letter of May 23 addressed to
The Profile and to Dr. Alston
and me, in which you register
disappointment in our reaction
to the report on the health ser-

CHAPLAINS' CORNER

vice.

Both Dr. Alston and I regret
your feeling that your efforts as
well as the concerns of students
have been ignored. We realize
that many service projects do go
unrecognized or unacknow-
ledged. However, in the case of
the 1972 study of the college
health service, we can assure you
that a great deal of time and de-
liberation has been given to your
report.

Your statement on page 6 of
the report regarding the "system
of fees" and clarification of
what is included in the "fee
system" was given careful con-
sideration at the time we were
studying the report as well as
when we revised copy for the

catalogue. Your suggestion to
clarify "ordinary" service was,
indeed, a good one. However,
after consideration it seemed un-
wise to be more explicit in the
catalogue. Certain examinations,
routine nursing care, and certain
drugs are usually considered "or-
dinary," but there are also num-
erous variations and exceptions.
For this reason we decided to re-
tain the more general statement.

We know the weeks and
months ahead will be challenging
for you, and we wish you happi-
ness and success in all your en-
deavors.

Sincerely,

(Miss) Roberta K. Jones

Need to look beyond
halo effect

by BILL JOHNSTON

Edi tor's note Bill Johnston is
Presbyterian chaplain for Agnes
Scott students.

The halo effect is a term used
in management to describe a
very common phenomenon. It is
the tendency to evaluate some-
body's contribution on the basis
of whether or not we like them
rather than on a more objective
basis. Thus, we would note that
often people do not learn any-
thing from a certain professor,
not because the professor has
nothing of merit to contribute,
but because they do not hold
the professor in esteem. Or,
Charlie's selfishness and imma-
turity may be overlooked be-
cause he is so handsome.

Initially it might seem that
this is a good thing for us, if we
are blessed with personality or
other factors that would add to
our halo effect, and damaging
only if we are not so blessed.
However, regardless of where we
most commonly find ourselves,
the halo effect must be reckoned
with because it robs us of what
is essential for growth, the appli-
cation of honesty.

For eventually, even the most
admiring young lady is going to
have to face the true character

of Charlie, though it may be
painfully late. Or the 'girl who
turns heads may find that she
never developed anything else to
give her life a deeper meaning.
Or we lose what a professor may
have to offer us, because we
couldn't get beyond the halo
effect. One thing that some of us
have had to learn is that we need
our critics every bit as much as
we need our admirers, person-
ally, professionally, and nation-
ally.

Though it may seem strange,

we may learn more from our
enemies than we do from our
friends, if we can get beyond the
halo effect. In my understanding
of Christian theology, it is grace
and not perfection that is essen-
tial to my sense of relationship
with God. I have often pondered
th statement, "and you shall
know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free," for it
means that I can be free from
both the positive or negative
halo effect that prevents my
growth.

Our man Flint

PAGE 3

by SUSAN BALCH

Those students who are not
familiar with the fine arts build-
ing may have missed one of the
special parts of Agnes Scott,
John O. Flint. Easy to find, he is
willing to take time from his
work to talk with an interested
student. He is also special in an-
other way. On the first of Octo-
ber, he celebrated his ninetieth
birthday.

Mr. Flint was born in Coving-
ton, Georgia in 1883. When he
was sixteen, he came through
Atlanta on his way to California
with his sister. He decided that
he was far enough west and
came to work at Agnes Scott.

Mr. Flint started working
here as a janitor in charge of two
classrooms and the lobby of Re-
bekah. He also served as a waiter
in the dining hall where the
meals were then served family
style. Later, Mr. Flint became

the head waiter and was respon-
sible for opening the dining hall
at 6 a.m. for the cooking staff.

When asked about changes at
Agnes Scott, Mr. Flint stated
that the condition of everything
had improved. The cafeteria is
now larger and serves better
food, while the students enjoy
more freedom. Mr. Flint men-
tioned that under the first presi-
dent, Dr. Gaines, the girls had to
be escorted by chaperones when
they went into town. He added,
"I believe that young people
should have privileges. A parent
can't do all the thinking for a
child."

As everyone who has talked
with him realizes, Mr. Flint has a
time-tested philosophy. "I just
do the best I can. You have to
treat yourself right before you
can treat others right."

tutor program

(Continued from page J)

Working in one school allows
the participants to work more
closely with teachers, facilitates
transportation of material from
the education lab, and in case of
crisis, either Miss Ammons or
Mr. Hepburn is always available
at Beacon.

During the first weeks of the
1973-74 session, in response to
the Supreme Court order regard-
ing busing, some Decatur area
children were shifted. Beacon,
which formerly contained grades
1-6, now contains only grades 5
and 6. The school has become
what one fifth grade teacher de-
scribes as a "mini-middle
school." The result of this shift
is a student body with great
variety of geographic back-
ground. Miss Ammons empha-
sizes the worth of such variety
to Scott "tutor" students.

Currently the program is
largely remedial in the areas of
reading and mathematics, but
Miss Ammons voices her hopes
for involvement by other depart-
ments. The program is not lim-
ited by a "tutorial" definition,
rather it has potential as an en-
richment "special" learning pro-
gram..

The children who participate
in the program are chosen by
Beacon teachers. Each group,
which may include one to four
children and a student "tutor,"
meets for forty-five-minute ses-
sions weekly or bi-weekly.

Ideally, both the college and
elementary level student benefit

from the instruction. Miss
Ammons emphasizes that the
program is not simply a "public
service" on the part of Agnes
Scott. Rather it is a mutual ser-
vice. The "tutor" gains practical
experience and has an opportu-
nity to try out some ideas and
do what Miss Ammons calls
"reality checking." The "tutee"
has the opportunity of instruc-
tion on a more individual level
and exposure to some creative,
often unique, teaching methods.

The Agnes Scott/Beacon
School Program is growing. In-
volvement, is not limited to child
psychology or education stu-
dents. All students are invited to
participate. Miss Ammons has al-
so appealed to the faculty to

volunteer cushions, stools, chairs
anything which will distin-
guish school classrooms from
program classrooms. Mr. Hep-
burn plans to deposit a car in the
math classroom. The car, a do-
nated Suberu, will be more than
a conversation piece; it will be a
stimulus for learning.

Another idea, still in the plan-
ning stage, is filmmaking as a
method of developing and en-
riching reading skills. Scott will
provide the equipment, and the
children will provide sets, cast,
and screenplay.

The Agnes Scott/Beacon
School Program demonstrates
the growth of a community and
the growth of a college with its
community.

Blackfriars at work

The Blackfriars' fall quarter
production, Lady from the Sea,
by Henrik Ibsen, is now in pro-
gress! The cast has been selected
and is already in rehearsal under
the direction of Ms. Elvena
Green. The technical designs, the
charge of Mr. Evans, are on the
drawing boards, and the various
committee chairmen have been
approved.

People are needed now to
man almost all the production
committees on the technical side
(set construction, light crew,

sound, props, make-up, cos-
tumes) as well as on the business
end (box office, publicity, and
programs).

As has been the tradition, the
Blackfriars of Agnes Scott aim
for dramatic excellence on stage
and off, but our primary con-
cern is education. Ours is educa-
tional theatre, which means that
no one is considered unacceptable
because of a lack of experience.

Come, get involved, and
learn. But above all, come and
enjoy!

The Dusseldorf Academy and the Americans, an exhibition of
19th century German and American watercolors and drawings, will
be on view through Sunday, November 4.

The exhibition is organized by the High Museum's Director, Gud-
mund Vigtel, and has been on tour with showings earlier in the year
at the Munson-Williams-Proctor institute, Utica, New York, and at
the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution, Wash-
ington, D.C.

The group of 150 works explores the influence of the Dusseldorf
Academy on American art through an examination of watercolors
and drawings by principal 19th century American artists who
studied in Dusseldorf, and by the works of their German teachers.
The Dusseldorf Academy was a symbol of professionalism in art
during the period of its greatest influence, 1826-1860, when under
the leadership of Wilhelm von Schadow.

"No museum to our knowledge has undertaken a systematic com-
parison until now between the work of the Academy professors and
their American pupils," states Director Vigtel. "Dusseldorf qualities
were prevalent in mid-century American painting, not only because
several of our best artists studied there, but also because the gloss
and sentiment so characteristic of the Academy style suited mid-
century tastes to perfection," he continues.

German and American artists represented in the exhibition are:
Albert Bierstadt, George Caleb Bingham, James McDougal Hart,
William Stanley Haseltine, Eastman Johnson, Emanuel Leutze,
William Trost Richards, Worthington Whittredge, Richard Caton
Woodville, Andreas Achenback, Oswald Achenbach, Eduard J.F.
Bendemann, Christian Eduard Boettcher, Wilhelm Camphausen,
Ernst Deger, Jacob F. Dielmann, Johann Peter Hasenclever, Ferdi-
nand Theodor Hildebrandt, Rudolf Jordan, Carl Friedrich Lessing,
Heinrich Carl Anton Mucke, Johnann Wilhelm Preyer, Alfred Rethel,
Henry Ritter, Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow, Casper J.N.
Scheuren, Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, Adolf Schroedter, Arnold
Schulten, Carl Ferdinand Sohn, Johann Baptist Sonderland, Wilhelm
Volkhardtand J.B.W. August Weber.

Donelson F. Hoopes, Curator of American Art at the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art, was guest curator for the exhibition and
author of the catalogue essay, "The Dusseldorf Academy and the
Americans."

The exhibition is presented with the cooperation of the Dussel-
dorf Museum of Art and a number of American institutions and
private collectors, and is supported in part by the National Endow-
ment for the Arts.

The Dusseldorf Academy and the Americans will be on view dur-
ing regular Museum hours in the First Floor galleries. It is free and
open to the public. A fully illustrated catalogue is available.

Background of the Dusseldorf Academy

The Dusseldorf Academy, first formed in 1773 by the Electors
Palatine, was a major force in German art during the first half of the
19th century. Wend von Kalnein, Director of the Dusseldorf Muse-
um of Art, writes in his essay on the Academy in the exhibition
catalogue, that during this time it was ". . . one of the most fertile of
German art schools and certainly the most important among those
institutions in Germany ... Its artists (were) admired by the public,
celebrated by the critics, and counted the church, the nobility, and
the middle class among its patrons . . . Dusseldorf was a magic word
which opened all doors and evoked notions among contemporaries of
painstaking technique and significant content."

Under the leadership of Wilhelm von Schadow from 1826 to
1859, the Dusseldorf Academy began its period of greatest influ-
ence. Through his reputation as an extraordinary teacher, Schadow
attracted promising students from all of Germany and beyond.
Among these young artists were Lessing, Hildebrandt, Hubner, Ben-
demann, and Sohn all of whom became significant figures allied
with the Academy.

Emanuel Leutze, who arrived in Dusseldorf in 1 841 , was the first
major American artist to be attracted by the lustre and reputation of
the Academy. Other American artists followed:

Richard Caton Woodville, who studied first at the Academy and
then privately with Carl Ferdinand Sohn; Worthington Whittredge,
whose work bears the influence of Carl Friedrich Lessing, an impor-
tant teacher at the Academy; Eastman Johnson, a student of ana-
tomical drawing at the Academy; George Caleb Bingham, already an
established genre painter, who came to Dusseldorf as a mature artist;
and Albert Bierstadt, who spent time in Leutze's circle, and shared a
studio with Whittredge. William Stanley Haseltine, William Trost
Richards and James McDougal Hart also were among the American
artists who travelled to Dusseldorf.

By the late 1860's the Academy's attraction for American artists
began to decline as tastes in painting changed. Gudmund Vigtel re-
marks: "Post-Civil War attitudes, combined with a new pre-
occupation with painterly realism emanating from the master studios
in Munich and Paris, made . . . the Dusseldorf manner seem hope-
lessly outmoded during the last decades of the 19th century."

Unhappy roommates are counselled by the prioresse (above) and bewildered
of wisdom from the spirit of scholarship.

Ti-Grace Atkinson

Feminist to speak

by JOYCE McKEE

The militant feminist Ti-
Grace Atkinson will speak in
Gaines Chapel on Wednesday,
Oct. 31, at 8:15 p.m. A recep-
tion will follow in Rebekah Re-
ception Room. The public is in-
vited to both events, which are
sponsored by the Agnes Scott
Lecture Committee.

Ms. Atkinson began her
career in the feminist movement
as a member of the National
Organization for Women (NOW).
She later became a board mem-
ber and president of the New
York chapter, but she resigned
her membership in 1968 because
of "irreconcilable conflicts" of
ideology and strategy. She then
founded the more radical
"Feminists" and was also one of
the five founding directors of
Human Rights for Women, Inc.,
which is a group seeking legal
changes.

The Louisiana native is a
graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania and the Pennsyl-
vania Academy of Fine Arts. She
has done graduate work at
Columbia University and has
written many articles on art and
aesthetics in addition to her
feminist writing.

Ms. Atkinson is super-
militant, believing in female
supremacy. The dynamic speak-
er was married at 17 and is now
divorced. She uses her maiden
name. Ti-Grace is a contraction
of her childhood nickname
"Petite-Grace."

Microphones will be available
in Gaines after Ms. Atkinson's
lecture for those who wish to
ask questions.

On Thursday morning from
10:30 to 12:00, Ms. Atkinson
will conduct a seminar in Re-
bekah Reception Room which is
sponsored by Mr. Mills and Ms.
Jones of the Sociology Depart-
ment. Students are invited to at-
tend and enter and leave as
necessary to go to class.

Agnes Scott's enrollment has
shown the same decline in the
past several years that most pri-
vate colleges are experiencing.
Associate Director of Admis-
sions Ann Rivers Thompson re-
ports that the admissions office
"is concerned, but not panick-
ed" and gave several reasons for
this national trend, including the
current economic situation, less
interest among high school stu-
dents in attending college at all,
an increasing tendency to post-
pone college attendance for a
year or two, and the growing at-
traction of the less expensive
and more convenient com-
munity junior college.

Rothenstein
visits Scott

Sir John Rothenstein, visiting
scholar and past visiting pro-
fessor in the Agnes Scott Art De-
partment, will return to the
Scott campus Oct. 29-31.

Sir John will speak in con-
vocation Oct. 31. His topic will
be "London in Darkness,
1939-45," and will deal with his
experiences in the Tate Gallery
during the bombing of London.
The rest of his visit will be spent
informally, meeting students and
perhaps visiting classes.

Sir John Rothenstein is a
leading figure in art circles and is
credited with the international
fame won by the Tate Gallery of
London, of which he was direct-
or, 1938-1964. Under his leader-
ship the gallery acquired forty
major sculptures by Henry
Moore and the works of many

important emerging artists. The
gallery had been closed and was
badly in need of repairs, and Sir
John reopened it to the public.

Upon his retirement from the
Tate Gallery, Sir John served in
the honorary position of Lord
Rector to St. Andrews Univer-
sity in Scotland until 1967.
Since then, he has taught and
lectured at American colleges.
This fall he was Regents Pro-
fessor at the University of
California at Irvine, Sept.
23-Oct. 26.

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, en-
titled, Modern English Painters,
in two volumes.

are being made in states outside
the South - Oklahoma, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Maryland,
Delaware, Ohio, and parts of
New York. Mrs. Thompson will
be in Europe November 3-19
with a tour of 38 colleges to re-
cruit students from American
and international schools,
especially those attended by
daughters of foreign service and
military personnel. The ad-
missions office is also consider-
ing a tour in the Caribbean in
the spring.

The use of alumnae in ad-
missions has been increased, and
now over seventy alumnae serve
as area representatives for the
admissions office.

Among efforts of students,
the admissions office highly
praised last spring's Applicants'
Weekend. Of those students who
visited during that weekend,
88% are now members of the
freshman class. Mrs. Thompson
pointed out how high this per-
centage is, commenting that the
admissions office feels that,
getting the student to campus so
that she can see for herself what
the college offers is a most effec-
tive admissions device.

In conjunction with this
effort, Mortar Board has planned
an Atlanta Area Prospective Stu-
dents' Day on October 30. Mrs.
Thompson states, "Without the

1

enthusiasm and leadership of
Agnes Scott students, these on-
campus visits would not be so
effective."

Mrs. Thompson also stated
that each Scott student is wel-
come and encouraged to drop by
the admissions office and obtain
the names of prospective stu-
dents from her hometown to
write or contact over Thanks-
giving or Christmas holidays.

Reply to a reply

It may be of some use to suggest that the question of what is
meant by "ordinary" infirmary service might possibly remain un-
answered. It could be that it is not known precisely where
"ordinary" service leaves off and "extraordinary" service begins. If
this is the case, then surely there is someone who can find out.

"Ordinary" service includes certain examinations, but which
ones? What is considered "routine" nursing care? Which drugs are
administered "ordinarily"? There are "variations and exceptions" -
but to what 7 . If "ordinary" is not defined, then it is impossible for a
student to know what constitutes deviations from it.

It has been agreed that clarification is a good idea - but apparent-
ly not good enough to warrant stating in the catalogue which
services would not cost extra and a few examples of ones that
would. It is not additional free care that has been requested, but
simply an explanation of what is already provided.

It seems odd that no effort was made to counter the Student
Services Committee's accusation of "a deliberate attempt to mislead
future students" on the part of the administration. If students are
misled, it is more likely on account of inadequate information than
of such an attempt. Even so, neglect is hardly a valid excuse for this
kind of ambiguity.

The lack of faith in the infirmary (however justified) is bad
enough without misunderstanding about legitimate fees. So until we
are enlightened further, keep some "ordinary" aspirin on hand -
you'll find the price on every bottle.

Once over Lightly

by FRANCES WICKES

ANNE ELLIOT

It was clear that William
Young's sense of shelter did not
fit with Leila's odor of chrysan-
themums. When they met at her
first ball, he offered to take her
for a couple of hamburgers and
an egg:

Take pity on me
have roman fever. Do
to send me early to

Leila:
William. I
you want
the grave?

As he looked down at her
white stockings, William replied:

William: Listen to the lesson
of the master. You're playing a
losing game with your stomach.

Leilas,: You should talk; I
know you have an Oedipus com-
plex.

William: You're so right. My
mother and I always got along
together, but my father was just
a shadow in the rose garden.

HERE & NOW

Leila: Look. Let's not have a
battle royal. Why don't we go
over to the Fire and the Hearth
Restaurant.

As they walked outdoors,
Leila looked up and exclaimed:

Leila: You know, the sky is
gray - do you think it will rain?

William: No. It's only a delta
autumn.

They continued down a worn
path, and were surprised to see
some artists in uniform blocking
it.

Leila: Is it a raid, William?

William: No, you pnin,
they're waiting for when the
light gets green.

As they entered the restau-
rant, which was in the heart of
darkness, Leila spied an elderly
man eating alone.

Leila: Oh, William! There is
my old neighbor, Mister Mc-
Gregor. My parents just wrote
me about him.

William: Oh really. What you
hear from 'em?

Leila: Well, it seems his wife
was fooling around with the gar-
dener while Mister McGregor
was revisiting Babylon - you
know what they say about him
- that he was a Communist but
broke up with the party the day
Stalin died. And nobody knows
why their big boy had to leave
home. He's now on the gold
coast living with a gambler, a
nun, and a radio.

William: That's a strange
combination of roommates. I
can understand a gambler and a
radio, but why the nun?

Leila: Well, he always was a
defender of the faith.

William: Hey, do you know
what the tone of time is? This
waiting for our food is ridicu-
lous.

Leila: Well, do you want to
leave and try the Jolly Corner?

William: No, let's go to
Araby's for a drink.

The truth in 13 column inches

(EDITOR'S NOTE: "Here and
Now" is a religious column from
a personal viewpoint and has no
connection with Christian As-
sociation.)

by ANGELYNN McGUFF

When Jesus Christ appeared
before Pilate, He said that He
had come to bear witness of the
truth. Pilate asked, "What is
truth?" (John 18:38). Pilate's
question was much broader than
"What is religious truth?" or
"How do you know you are
truth?" Pilate asked whether
such a thing as truth existed in
the universe at all.

Jesus believed in absolutes
(based on God's existence);
Pilate was a relativist. But Pilate
could not live, even for a
moment, with the belief that
truth might not exist at all. In
the next breath he made a state-
ment which assumed the
existence of truth and non-truth,

guilt and non-guilt: "I find no
guilt in Him" (John 18:38).
Then he gave Jesus to the mob
for crucifixion; vacillation re-
sulted from his partial relativism.

Our age is also concerned
with the question of relativism
versus absolutes. If one says that
no kind of truth exists, one
holds the truth that there is no
truth: a contradiction. Even a
tentative statement, "Truth may
not exist," is based on the
assumption that truth about
truth is hard to find, but that it
does exist. It is quite different
from the belief that truth does
not exist at all.

When people disagree on
important points, they are still
agreed that such a thing as truth
exists. As long as one gets up in
the morning and brushes his
teeth, he believes in the ab-
solutes that he exists and that
something else exists besides
himself.

Man inescapably participates
in a God-universe with truth in

it; relativism can never be held
consistently. God is the only
logical source for absolutes.

The God Who took care to
establish a world with intellectu-
al, aesthetic, and moral truth in
it came to earth as a man. Truth
and non-truth really exist about
God Himself. The God Who
exists distinguishes between
Himself and the gods who do not
exist.

Therefore, Jesus says: "I am
the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father,
but through Me" (John 14:6).
Jesus claims to be the way, the
truth, the life, not a way, a
truth, a life. God understands
that people can have sincere
doubt (Jude 1:22). But genuine
doubt, by its very nature, cannot
be dogmatic doubt. Logically, it
should be a transition to faith in
the God Who exists.

(Next column deals with the
knowledge which man can have
of God's existence.)

Classics, art and life studied in Rome

by MARENE EMANUEL

The City of Romance. For
most of us, Rome means sexy
men, good food, beautiful
art, the Pope. Ask any one of
the Scotties who went to
Rome this summer, and
you'll find that the city is
even more fabulous and exict-
ing than you've heard. All of
them find it hard to express
their feelings for the place in
words. It would be impossible
to capture the spell which
Rome cast over its Scott visit-
ors, for the trip meant some-
thing personal and different
for each girl. We can, how-
ever, share some of the. high-
lights and memories of the
1973 summer trip to Rome.

The girls arrived in Rome
on June 19, ready to begin
six weeks of study and sight-
seeing. They were accom-
panied by Miss Zenn and Mr.
and Mrs. Pepe, who acted as
chaperones and instructors
for the two courses offered
during the trip.

Home base was a convent
(that's right!), where every-
one found the nuns helpful
and friendly, although they
would not hesitate to "cuss
you out in French." From
there, bus transportation was
provided to the various parts
of the city and countryside.

A day's schedule was flex-
ible, combining pleasure and
study. Mornings were spent in
Miss Zenn's classics course,
which consisted of "seeing
while learning." A temple was
discussed while exploring its
ruins in the pleasant, cool air
of the city or countryside.
Lunch was very often a picnic
on a mountain side or in a
temple garden.

Art history courses were
conducted in the afternoon,
sometimes while touring an
art museum. By four o'clock,
everyone was free to shop, do
some additional sightseeing,
or enjoy the hot, lazy after-
noon in a park. Dinner was
usually served at the convent,
followed by an evening
attending the opera, partying
with young Italians, or just
making friends with both
children and adults.

On weekends, the girls
were allowed to take side
trips anywhere they pleased:
for example, some visited
Florence and Venice, while
others ventured outside Ital-
ian boundaries to Switzerland
and Germany. In addition,
the entire group went on sev-
eral field trips, including ones
to Nempha, Naples, and Tar-
quinia.

Aside from their academic
studies, the group learned
much of the Italian way of
life and culture. The convent
was located in one of Rome's
residential districts, and living
there gave an interesting por-
trait of Italian domestic life.
The girls were able to meet
people and have experiences
which regular American tour-
ists usually miss. Everyone
agreed that Italian men were
"beautiful!", but very gentle-
manly, and there were few
occasions of bottom-pinching
or improper advances.

Food abounded; our girls
enjoyed roast chicken, wine,

and bread. Expresso coffee
was a favorite, and Italian ice
cream was eaten "every day."
The weather co-operated and
it "never rained." Many be-
came interested in Italian
fashion; a few girls had hair-
cuts, facials, or manicures at
Eve of Rome's. Others went
bananas over jewelry and
shoes.

Nearly everyone shopped
at the Standa, the Italian
equivalent to Woolworth's,
for souvenirs and gifts. It was,
in short, an exciting adjust-
ment to a different life style,,
and the pace, like Italian driv-
ers, was always hurried and
always busy.

It was a combination of
art/culture and personal ex-
perience. A synthesis of the
ancient and modern. A study
of the cultural background of
a single country and the en-
tire world. It was, as one of
the Scotties so aptly said,
"... the most important
thing I could've ever done."

Home base was a convent?!?'

program on Peru will be given
and, of course, there will be
some music. This is one of
the regularly scheduled activi-
ties of the Spanish Club.

On Sat., Oct. 27, at 8:00
p.m., the Ci'rculo Hispano-
americo will have a Verbena
or "Fair" at the DeKalb Fed-
eral Savings and Loan Build-
ing on Clairmont. There will
be mesas or tables from many
countries, with exhibits typi-

cal of each country and a pro-
gram of actos tipicos will be
presented. The Spanish Club
was asked to arrange the table
for the U.S.

The Mesa Cuadrada
(Square Table, instead of
Round Table) on Thursday is
another activity which has
proved popular this year. The
president of the Spanish Club
is Martha Stephenson Kelley.

Last week the Spanish
Club was host to a distin-
guished visitor from Spain,
Dr. Julian Marias. He spoke
on "Life in the Spanish
Novel" at the Faculty Club.
Dr. Marias is an outstanding
scholar and the Agnes Scott
Program in Spain will be for-
tunate to have him as one of
the lecturers next summer.
He is the author of several of
the essays and short stories
read by Agnes Scott students.

THE PROFILE / October 26, 1973

whAT s hAppEninq Stoffel to preach sermon

The Director of The High Museum of Art, Gudmund Vigtel,
announces an extended loan made to the Museum of some 250
pieces of Chinese jade covering styles from the Shang period, about
1500 B.C., to the 19th century. The collection has been accumu-
lated by William and Robert Arnett of Atlanta who are making this
collection available to the Museum in a wish to strengthen the High
Museum's exhibition of works of art of various periods.

Since scientific investigation of Chinese culture has been severely
limited by internal upheavals, the study of stylistic developments
rests on much conjecture, Mr. Vigtel points out.

"We should, for this reason, consider classifications within speci-
fic periods only as approximations, a study which is complicated
further by the Chinese habit of copying earlier forms, apparently
without the reservations inhibiting Western artists in this regard,"
Vigtel comments. "It is, nevertheless, possible to discern the progress
from the archaic ceremonial Shang tools, to the deceptively simple
forms in the following periods, which are fashioned with increasingly
sophisticated craftsmanship, until the stylistic decline already evi-
dent in the 18th century, when the craftsmen became completely
enamoured by dazzling techinical feats," he continues.

"The Will iam and Robert Arnett Collection clearly demonstrates
the main characteristics of stylistic developments in Chinese jades -
as they are known to us today. Even the earliest examples contain
qualities of a most remarkable feeling for the appropriate relation-,
ships between form and scale, design and technique. Considering the
sophistication of these early pieces, it is not surprising that the
masters of jade objects had already developed by the late Chou
period the tools and methods which were to remain quite unchanged
until modern times," Vigtel adds.

Jade is a term generally applied to two minerals, nephrite and
jadeite, which have been prized for their rarity, their hardness and
durability, and for the lustrous beauty of the polished material in
colors varying from black through shades of green, blue, brown,
yellow and grey, to white. It is not easy to distinguish between the
two, although jadeite tends to be more transluscent, with a greater
sheen. The dark green jades are nephrite, while the characteristic
colors of jadeite are a more vivid apple green, mauve, and shades of
light blue. It is found in many parts of the world - in Chinese
Turkestan, in Burma, Polynesia, New Zealand, and in North and
South America, as well as in Europe.

The Chinese were not the only people to make objects of jade.
The craftsmen of the Mughal dynasty in India produced some of the
finest examples anywhere. The Maoris in New Zealand and the
Olmecs, Mayas and Aztecs of Central America have left large num-
bers of jade objects of varying degrees of craftsmanship.

The Chinese jade craftsman in the earliest times worked his
material with bamboo drills. Later, wire saws, and metal drills and
discs were used. )ade is literally as hard as steel and the craftsman
had to grind it with abrasives such as quartz sand, crushed garnets,
corundum and in modern times, carborundum. Mixed with water,
the abrasive was applied constantly to the jade during the grinding
process. Final polishing was done with wood and leather wheels.

In announcing the loan Gudmund Vigtel said: "We are extremely
fortunate to be allowed to display this very fine group of objects
demonstrating the brilliant craftsmanship of the Chinese and their
subtle feeling for form. The Arnett Collection adds an entirely new
dimension to the Museum's usefulness."

The collection is expected to remain on view at the Museum for
several years.

RECRUITMENT

(Continued from page 1)

Agnes Scott is facing the
same problems as many other in-
stitutions this fall. This fall, the
Chronicle of Higher Education
estimates that there were
687,000 vacancies in colleges
and universities. Agnes Scott's
enrollment is 556, close to the
projected figure of 555 on which
this year's budget is based.
Fewer students are choosing to
go to college and many find
state-supported and community
junior colleges more practical
and convenient. Of the high
school seniors who go to college,
50% go to a junior college.
Eighty-five percent of all college
students go to school in their
home state, while 70% of the
Agnes Scott student body is
drawn from outside Georgia.

Mrs. Thompson and Miss
Steele both emphasize that

Agnes Scctt is not lowering its
standards. Through personal let-
ters, they continue to discourage
those students who are clearly
not "admissible." Miss Steele
also states that because of Agnes
Scott's academic reputation,
many students screen themselves
and do not apply if they don't
feel they can measure up.

Both Miss Steele and Mrs.
Thompson state that they regard
the future "optimistically" be-
cause they feel Agnes Scott has
much to offer students "who are
academically promising, and that
our present students, faculty,
curriculum, size, and location
are our greatest assets in attract-
ing such students." They hope
for more campus visits for
prospective students so that they
can be exposed to all facets of
the campus life.

Ernest Lee Stoffel, Pastor of
Riverside Presbyterian Church,
Jacksonville, Florida, will preach
the sermon for Senior Investi-
ture on Sunday, Oct. 28 at
11:00 a.m. His topic will be
"The Christian Option," based
on John 3:16-21.

Miss Geraldine Meroney, Pro-
fessor of History at Agnes Scott
College, will speak at the investi-
ture ceremony on Sat., Oct. 27
at 10:00 a.m. The topic of her
speech will be "The Late Un-
happy Times in America': Con-
siderations of the Human Cost
of the American Revolution."

Born January 2, 1923, in
Bristol, Tennessee, Dr. Stoffel
attended the University of Tenn-
essee and earned the A.B. degree
from King College. He holds the
B.D. (Bachelor of Divinity),
Th.M. (Master of Theology), and
Th.D. (Doctor of Theology) de-
grees from Union Theological
Seminary in Richmond, Virginia.

Dr. Stoffel did graduate study

tour of the campus. Mary Mar-
garet MacLauchlin, who is co-
ordinating the effort for Mortar
Board, stated that she hoped stu-
dents would serve as guides for
the guests as well as visiting with
them during lunch and dinner.

Mary Margaret emphasized
that "honesty and candor" are
desired from all students. Most
of the high school students who
will be here that day are not
early decision applicants, and
some, in fact, have not even de-
cided that they will apply. The
Mortar Board hopes that the stu-
dents will receive a "warm recep-
tion" but that students will be
frank about all aspects of life
here.

Also planned after classes is a
small reception with Mortar
Board being assisted by some
alumnae. Associate Director of
Admissions Ann Rivers Thomp-
son will speak to the group and
answer questions.

The students will be guests of
the college for dinner after
which Mrs. Margaret W. Pepper-
dene, Chairman of the English
Department, will speak about
Agnes Scott and what it offers as
a woman's liberal arts college.

Transportation will be pro-
vided to those high school stu-
dents who need it by* Mortar

RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY TOPIC

Georgia State lectures;
P. O. Kristeller to speak

The Renaissance scholar Paul
Oskar Kristeller will deliver two
lectures at Georgia State Univer-
sity Nov. 5-6.

* 4 Ethics in Renaissance
Thought" will be the topic ot
the Columbia University profes-
sor's lecture at 8 p.m. Mon.,
Nov. 5 in the Recital Hall, Art
and Music Building on the Geor-
gia State campus. The 2:30 p.m.
lecture of Tues., Nov. 6, entitled
"Renaissance Platonism," will be
given in Sparks Building.

Mr. Kristeller, a German na-
tive, received his first doctoral
degree from the University of
Heidelberg. When Hitler came to
power, the scholar emigrated to
Italy where he earned his second
doctorate from the University of
Pisa. With the outbreak of World
War II, Mr. Kristeller emigrated
to the United States, married a
physician, was naturalized and
joined the Department of Philo-
sophy of Columbia University.
For 34 years, Mr; Kristeller has
taught at Columbia, the last fif-
teen as Woodbridge Professor of
Philosophy.

The scholar is noted both for
his understanding of the Renais-
sance and his many books which
make Renaissance thought acces-
sible to students. His name is
synonymous with Renaissance
philosophy and scholarship.

Professor Kristeller has been
honored by membership in
many learned societies of Ameri-
ca and Europe. Three times
has participated in the Institute
for Advance Studies at Princeton
University; he has been a Gug-
genheim Fellow, and is a mem-
ber of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences. He has been
honored by the British Aca<
as recipient of the Serena r
for Italian Studies.

The Georgia State Student
Government Association Ly-
ceum is sponsoring Mr. Kristel-
ler. His coming is due to the ini-
tiative of the Departments of
English, Foreign Languages, His-
tory and Philosophy.

In a weekly, two-hour sem-
inar entitled "Birth and Death,"
Paul Mills, Chairman of the Soci-
ology Department, and five sen-
iors are examining two traumatic
cultural experiences - birth and
death. The seminar focuses parti-
cularly on the roles these two
experiences play in American
society.

The seminar features exten-
sive reading to establish broad
perspective, and field trips to
provide first hand experience.
Thus far, the focus of the semi-
nar has been death. Associated'
field trips included participation
in a conference on Sudden In-
fant Death Syndrome held at
Emory University. The confer-
ence, sponsored by the local
chapter of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome, enabled participants
to examine through workshops
physiological, psychological, and
religious aspects of the syn-
drome. Mr. Mills pointed out
that parents are also victimized
by the syndrome, not only emo-
tionally but sometimes legally.
Mr. Mills cited cases in which
parents of victims of the syn-
drome have been arrested and
even imprisoned for child abuse.

The seminar members have
also visited Our Lady of Perpe-
tual Help Free Cancer Home. All
the patients of the home are
(terminal cancer patients who are
unable to pay for care. The class

spoke with patients and admin-
istrators of the home. The pa-
tients vary in age from a six
year-old with a tumor of the
spine, who has been in the home
since two months of age, to a
former student at Agnes Scott
who is now over 80. One semi-
nar member noted the value of
the visit in observation of not
only the patients' attitudes, but
also the sisters' attitudes. All the
patients are aware of their ter-
minal condition, and there is em-
phasis on strong emotional sup-
port.

Mr. Mills expresses home for
other field trips including a visit
to a funeral home and a crema-
torium.

The field trips planned for
the birth section of the seminar
are visits to natural childbirth
classes and to La Leche League,
an organization advocating
breast-feeding of infants. The
highlight of the birth study
promises to be the observation
of a birth at Northside Hospital.

While the field trips provide
first hand experience, reading

Music Club joins
Symphony's board

by EVA GANTT

Agnes Scott's Music Club is
working on plans to incorporate
a chapter of the Atlanta
Symphony's proposed college
board.

Publicizing symphony per-
formances would be the main
purpose of the board; the chap-
ters, to be located on college
campuses in the Atlanta area,
would help coordinate ushering
for concerts given by the
symphony. Possible projects for
the college board include selling
tickets on the campuses and par-
ticipating in the selection of pro-
grams.

Interested members of Music
Club have been invited to an or-
ganizational meeting on Nov. 30
for making further plans about

the board. Janet Sarbaugh and
Becky Miller represented the Ag-
nes Scott club at a preliminary
meeting on Oct. 1 9.

Club president Diane Beeler is
"excited about working with the
Atlanta Symphony." She especi-
ally encourages students inter-
ested in music to join the club at
this time. "We want to spark a
real enthusiasm for music and to
make music fun."

Other officers of the club are
Lou Anne Cassels, vice-
president; Becky Jewell, secre-
tary-treasurer; and Susan Balch,
Arts Council representative.

Assistant Professor of Music
Theodore K. Mathews, faculty
advisor for Music Club, will serve
as advisor for the Agnes Scott
chapter of the symphony's col-
lege board.

The twelve steps
to obnoxiousness

From St. Bernard of Clairvaux to St. Agnes of Decatur: How to
be obnoxious in 1 2 easy steps.

Step I. Be curious - about irrelevant details. Take up valuable
class time with speculations as to things of no interest to anyone else
that you can find out on your own. Preface your remarks with "Is it
true that . . . Am I correct in assuming ... I may be wrong but . . ."
because it usually isn't true and you usually are wrong.

Step II. Be frivolous - compare yourself to others, whether they
be more or less intelligent or studious than you. Try to calculate
how much time others spend studying; or if you prefer, study how
much time others spend calculating. The benefit of both is the same.

Step III. Indulge in foolish mirth - laugh loudly and raucously at
anything and anybody you can find. Remember, inanity is the cri-
terion, even if you have to manufacture it yourself.

Step IV. Be boastfuls, - announce to anyone who happenstobe
around that you have done outside reading for the whole quarter,
but lament the minus affixed to your A.

Step V. Emphasize your singularity - surely you have more work
to do and have done more of it than anyone else. When you have
gone above and beyond the call of duty to the point of no return,
you are in standard brown-nosing position no. 1. To get to position
no. 2, just stay where you are, buy a copy of the professor's book
and quote from it in class.

Step VI. Show conceit - be assured that your position as a stu-
dent entitles you to assume knowledge and wisdom beyond your
years. Consider who is teaching whom and what, and how you can
best impede the process.

Step VII. Exercise audacity - do we not have freedom of speech?
Should you not vent your every whim? Never waste time with re-
spect or deference; loudness always gets results.

Step VIII. Make a practice of excusing sins - proclaim the drudg-
ery of your work, the amount and oppressiveness of it. Moan about
its impossibility to those who assign it. How can you be expected to
do it? What did you come here for anyway?

Step IX. Make hypocritical confessions who can hold you guil-
ty if you have done everything wrong? Admit it when you are not
prepared for class - after all, you had to translate 50 lines of Swahili
for your advanced course.

Step X. Be defiant don't let* anybody make you do anything
you don't absolutely want to. Think now - who's paying to come
here? The system is for those who don't think they can get away
with circumventing it, so why not pit your nimble wits against it?

Step XI. Take advantage of your freedom to sin - if you are
lucky, you won't get caught. And you already know that sin is what
you decide it will be, for who is to say how crass is crass or how
loose is loose?

Step XII. Partake of habitual sinning - now that you've got the
hang of it, see what you can do to make heads turn and eyes roll.
Obnoxiousness is the art of displaying a maximum amount of rude-
ness in a minimum amount of time. See if you can set a new record;
the classroom makes an excellent battlefield.

Petition posted

The following petition is posted in the mailroom and in the din-
ing hall. It will be presented to Dr. Perry in the near future. It was
drawn up by students entirely independent from the Profile.

We, the undersigned, call for a reconsideration of the decision to
reduce the courses presently offered by the history department.
Administrative planning calls for the release of one of the two pro-
fessors who concentrate in the field of American history. This will
mean that half of the American history courses now available will be
eliminated. The decision will also affect studies in Soviet history and
historical methods. Although this is of special interest to history
majors, we feel it is a matter of concern for any student interested in
maintaining the academic excellence of the college.

The college experience for
many young people represents
an opportunity to demonstrate
that they are sufficiently mature
to handle the situations of an
adult life without the reinforce-
ments of parental or community
opinion. This experience of inde-
pendence and the strong feeling
of self-respect it engenders are
crucial to a large number of
young adults in their college se-
lection.

Agnes Scott denies this speci-

fic experience by a structure of
parietal rules which imply an in-
ability on the part of the stu-
dents to distinguish right from
wrong in social situations. Or
even if this ability is acknow-
ledged our capacity to stand up
for our convictions in the face of
adversity is doubted - this defi-
nitely creates a somewhat "fugi-
tive and cloistered virtue".

Those students who are will-
ing to forego their rights as
adults because an excellent edu-
cation is their top priority make

up the student body of Agnes
Scott. The academic education
they hope to receive out-values
the non-scholastic education col-
lege often brings.

For this reason it seems ironic
that the administration has
chosen to cope with the problem
of declining enrollment with a
cutback in professors. In doing
so, it appears to me that the col-
lege would be crippling itself in
its only attractive feature.

Lester Maddox: Scott student
gets first-hand information

(Editor's note Celeste Cox in-
terviewed Lt. Governor Lester
Maddox Oct. 17 as part of a
term paper for Political Science
32 J, State and Local Govern-
ment.)

Lester Maddox's desire to go
into politics began at an early
age. He grew up in Atlanta on
the "wrong side of the tracks"
but wanted to be a businessman
from the age of seven or eight.

Maddox started seeking office
after watching people campaign
at various political rallies in ball
parks and masonic lodges before
the days of TV and radio cam-
paigns.

He saw that candidates talked
and acted differently while cam-
paigning than they did after they
were elected. Little effort was
made to carry out campaign
promises, programs, and plat-
forms. He was moved to become
a candidate himself out of utter-
disgust at hypocrisy and dis-
honesty.

Lester Maddox is the only
native Atlantan ever elected gov-
ernor, the only one ever elected
It. governor, and the only gover-
nor ever elected It. governor.

A high school dropout, Mad-
dox did metallurgical research,
worked as an apprentice dental
technician at $4.50 a week, and
for the Atlanta Steel Co. for
$10.00 a week. His first busi-
ness, selling peanuts on the
streets of Atlanta, was started
with a capital investment of
$4.00.

According to Maddox, the
"in-group" doesn't find his con-
troversial political style refresh-
ing; however, "Anyone not
somewhat controversial is not
much of anything else." Maddox
says that he didn't ignore his
beliefs and convictions to go
along with those who feel gov-
ernment is by deal, but that he
would have gotten more co-
operation from the national

media and the political establish-
ment if he had. He feels that to
get their support he would have
had to abandon his convictions.
He states that his conflict is not
with individuals, but that he de-
tests hypocrisy, dishonesty, and
cover-up. He goes on to say that

people see the inside as well as
the outside and the good as well
as the bad in government.

Maddox says that there is no
Democratic establishment as
such in Georgia, but there is a
strong Democratic Party among
the majority of Georgians. He
says that the Executive Circle
doesn't always control the major-
thrust of party power. Accord-
ing to him, more people in Geor-
gia are becoming Independents,
drifting away to support a cause
and the man who represents that
cause rather than the party.

As governor, Maddox claims
he never used the Democratic
Party or its officers to get some-
one else elected, but that it is
done today by Governor Jimmy
Carter. He adds that as governor
he never supported or opposed
any candidate for statewide
office or let anyone in his offices
do that.

Maddox says that he gets
more favorable treatment today
by the national media than ever
before. He feels that t^e Atlanta
Journal and Constitution are de-

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER

terrents to good government be-
cause they want to be opinion
makers, not fact reporters; be-
cause of their own biases and
prejudices they are unable to see
the good in a person. He also
says that they oppose what they
can't control; once they control
a person, they feel he can do no
wrong. He cites three examples
of this.

1. He was not against the
rapid transit bill as such, but was
opposed to the waste in it. He
exposed the truth about the

news media said he was anti-

asking for billions of dollars
more than was needed, and this
made him angry.

2. He exposed the retirement
bill, but the papers never re-

were of retirement age and were
told that if they retired by July
1, 1972 they would receive re-

year for the rest of their lives. If
they didn't retire then, they

Evangelistic zeal
causes anxiety

by DWIGHT PEARCE

(Editor's note Dwight Pearce
is the Baptist chaplain for Agnes
Scott students.)

I'd been on campus for less
than a week when, unan-
nounced, he bopped into my
office armed with Bible, a note-
book, and enough agenda to
keep us both busy full time for
the next six months. His thing
was doing "the work of the
Lord," and he set about trying
to enlist me in his cause, steam-
roller fashion.

Somehow I managed to avoid
being absorbed by him, suggest-
ing there are diverse ways of
ministering, each with some
validity. He seemed to buy this
idea, but as the quarter wore on,
I sense some hostility from him.

When I confronted him in an
effort to deal with our apparent

differences, he admitted that
perhaps his method of approach
was not what it should be. In his
solo effort to evangelize the
campus he had experienced
some fierce resentment. In his
zeal and uptightness he was turn-
ing people off, and his increased
anxiety had left him pretty im-
mobilized.

We talked together for a long
time, and he had "ears to hear."
Not just that he agreed with;
rather, he was willing to acknow-
ledge that self-discovery is not
something we can earn com-
pletely on our own. It must in-
clude that gift from God, a sense
of security which frees a person
to be in charge of his life, to be
able to establish his own priori-
ties, to be able to relate to
others in a healthy rather than in
a manipulative way - yes, to be
able to say no.

Peace Corps/college degree
program in math and science

Cultural events
in the big city

PAGE 3

To many college students in
our nation the biggest question
is how they can use their college
education to benefit others with-
out having a Master's or Ph.D.
degree. For those freshmen and
sophomores interested in math
and science, the State University
of New York may have the an-
swer.

On the campus of the State
University at Brockport there
exists a unique program known
as the Peace Corps/College De-
gree Program. The program, the
only one in the U.SA., was
started at Brockport in 1967, for
the purpose of training teachers
in the math and science areas to
be stationed overseas as Peace
Corps volunteers for two years.

The first five years of the pro-

birth/death

(Continued from page J)
and class discussions pose such
sociological dilemmas as the
morality of plastic wombs and
freezing bodies. If children can
be produced in plastic wombs,
will women abandon natural
child-bearing? What is the status
of a frozen person? Is the spouse
legally widowed and free to re-
marry?

Birth and death are similar
experiences, according to Mr.
Mills. Both involve separation -
one is separation from the
womb; the other, a separation
from life. Both experiences re-
quire family adjustment to gain
or loss, and both represent an
unknown quality in the mystery
which defies pinpointing at the
time of either birth or death.

would only get $12,000 a year.
The purpose was to get them out
of the way so that the Demo-
crats presently in office could
appoint who they wanted. Mad-
dox had press releases printed,
but the news media refused to
print these.

3. He defeated the salary in-
crease bill for two years, but the
news media never printed the
fact that they saved the tax-
payers $4 million. The bill was
not published until it was
passed, and the It. governor was
blamed since he was President of
the Senate. The papers said he
should have blocked it; Maddox
said Governor Carter signed it
but could have vetoed it. Mem-
bers of the House and Senate
voted for it, although they could
have blocked it, but again the
papers blamed Maddox.

Maddox lists several things as
his proudest achievements dur-
ing his years in office. He told
people he would promote hon-
esty and efficiency in govern-
ment and says he has done this,
including government by the
people.

gram were aimed at sending
teachers to Latin America but
the new emphasis is on Franco-
phone Africa, especially Zaire,
the former Belgian Congo. In
fact the project director has just
returned from a two year teach-
ing tour there.

The program, which lasts for
15 months, is geared towards
training volunteers who have
finished the equivalent of a two
year program, 60 credits, with
enough hours in their math or
science major to finish in four
semesters. The graduates, who
minor in French, Zaire's official
language, receive a Bachelor's
Degree and provisional New
York State Teacher Certifica-
tion.

The program begins in June,
continues through the fall, the
spring and a second summer.
During the two summer sessions
the students receive intensive
training with special attention
given to French, taught by an in-
ternational staff. During the aca-
demic year the trainess take a
full load which includes the
French courses taught by Pro-
fessor Georges Hingot, who lived
in Zaire before and after its inde-
pendence. The French courses
involve total immersion and are
designed to give the students a
working vocabulary so that they
can teach in French by the sec-
ond summer of training.

During the spring semester
the co-directors; Mr. Noble and
academic director, Dr. Elaine K.
Miller, hope to take the students
to schools in French speaking
Canada to give them the exper-

ience of teaching in a franco-
phone classroom.

Mr. Noble reports that last
year's group has finished its
training and is now at schools
throughout the Zaire. The pre-
sent group of 26 will take up
their assignments next August.

Both Dr. Miller and Mr.
Noble stress that there is a seri-
ous need for trained teachers,
one that Peace Corps is helping
to fill, so if you qualify for this
program and are interested in
teaching in Africa, write to:

Maybe the way to change the world
is to join a large corporation.

We don't make a lot of noise, but this is where it's
really happening. You see, a large corporation like Kodak has
the resources and the skill to make this world a little more de-
cent place to live. And we intend to do what we can to see
that this is exactly what happens.

Take our home city, Rochester, New York for exam-
ple. We cut water pollution in the Genesee River by using
natural bacteria to dispose of unnatural wastes. We cut air
pollution by using electrostatic precipitators in a new com-
bustible waste disposal facility. We helped set up a black
enterprise program in downtown Rochester, and we've been
experimenting with film as a way to train both teachers and
students including some students who wouldn't respond to
anything else.

And we didn't stop with Rochester. Kodak is involved
in 47 countries all over the world. Actively involved.

Why? Because it's good business. Helping to clean
the Genesee River not only benefits society. . . but helps pro-
tect another possible source for the clean water we need to
make our film. Our combustible waste disposal facility not
only reduces pollution . . . but just about pays for itself in
heat and power production and silver recovery. Our black
enterprise program not only provides an opportunity for the
economically disadvantaged . . . but helps stabilize communi-
ties in which Kodak can operate and grow. And distributing
cameras and film to teachers and students not only helps
motivate the children . . . but helps create a whole new market.

In short, it's simply good business. And we're in busi-
ness to make a profit. But in furthering our business interests,
we also further society's interests.

And that's good. After all, our business depends on
society. So we care what happens to it.

More than a business.

Natl Career Week planned Nov. 12-17

by MARENE EMANUEL

Nov. 12-17 marks the eighth
annual observance of National
Career Week at Agnes Scott. It is
sponsored by the National Voca-
tional Guidance Association,
comprised of some 10,000 mem-
bers, including vocational and
occupational counselors in pub-
lic and private schools and col-
leges; governmental and volun-
tary agencies; governmental, in-

dustrial, and private counseling
centers; and those engaged in
student personnel work.

The theme for the week this
year is "Experience the Future."
The Dana Scholars and the
Career Planning Office have
planned numerous activities and
lectures designed to acquaint all
interested Scott students with
the wide variety of career fields
available, as well as offer practi-
cal advice on getting both sum-

mer and permanent jobs.

Mr. Alan Neely, Personnel Of-
ficer of the First National Bank
of Atlanta, will conduct a work-
shop on job interviews and
resumes on Mon., Nov. 12, at
7:00 p.m. in the Rebekah Re-
ception Room. The entire stu-
dent body is invited to come and
learn about this most important
aspect of seeking and acquiring a
job.

On Wed., Nov. 14, Miss Joan

Crawford, Managing Director of
Lord and Taylor in Atlanta, will
be the featured speaker of
National Career Week. Miss
Crawford's topic for the convo-
cation will be "Retailing - An
Experience in Itself." Miss Craw-
ford has two remarkable firsts in
her list of accomplishments.
Lord and Taylor has seventeen
branch stores, and Miss Craw-
ford is the first and only woman
serving as the managing director

of one of these stores. In addi-
tion, Miss Crawford recently be-
came one of the first women to
be elected to the Board of Direc-
tors of the Citizens and Sou-
thern Bank.

To round out the week's acti-
vities, each evening during din-
ner in the dining hall, consul-
tants from a wide group of ca-
reer fields will be at designated
tables to talk informally with
students about their careers. In
this way, Miss lone Murphy, Di-
rector of Career Planning, hopes
to fulfill "our goal to place be-
fore the student body some of
the many options that our alum-
nae and others have elected."
Everyone is encouraged to
table-hop and talk with as many
of the representatives as she
likes.

Social psychologist will
lecture on "crowding"

by JOYCE McKEE

"The Effect of Crowding on
People" will be the topic of a
talk by social psychologist Dr.
Jonathan Freedman of Columbia
University Wed., Nov. 14 at 8:15
p.m. in Maclean Auditorium.

Co-author of books on devi-
ancy and a widely used textbook
in titled Social Psychology , Dr.
Freedman in recent years has
concentrated his research on the
effect of crowding on human be-
havior and on the factors affect-
ing compliance and helping. His
book on human responses to
crowding will appear within a
year.

Past experiments on attrac-
tion performed by Freedman,
Carlsmith, and Suomi show that
attraction is increased by famili-
arity even though person inter-
action between subjects is se-
verely limited. Pairs of unac-
quainted subjects who sat across

Peter M. Boyd-Bowman, Pro-
fessor of Hispanic Linguistics
and Director of the Center for
Critical Languages at the State
University of New York at Buf-
falo, will be in Atlanta between
Nov. 14 and 16. Dr. Boyd-
Bowman will speak at the South
Atlantic Modern Language Asso-
ciation's annual convention and
will be a visitor on the Agnes
Scott campus.

Born in Japan, Dr. Boyd-
Bowman attended private
schools in England, Switzerland,
and Austria. He received his

from each other liked each other
more, the more often the pairs
met. The subjects were not al-
lowed to talk to one another.

A 1 968 experiment per-
formed by Freedman and An-
thony N. Doob studied the phe-
nomenon of scapegoating. Sub-
jects were told that they were in
a group with four nondeviant
subjects and one deviant subject.
When the subject was asked to
pick by code letter members of
the group to receive either re-
wards or shock, he chose on the
basis of similarity and difference
from himself. He shocked those
unlike him and rewarded those
like him.

In connection with studies on
attitude change, a Freedman and
Fraser experiment showed that
prior commitment produces a
tendency to resist a change in at-
titude. Housewives were shown
to be significantly more willing

to have a large, ugly sign in their
yards saying "Drive Carefully"
when they had signed several
weeks before a petition urging
senators from California to sup-
port legislation to encourage safe
driving. 17% of the women who
had not been contacted to sign
the petition agreed to have the
sign in their yard while 55% who
had signed the petition were also
willing to have the sign in their
yards.

Dr. Freedman's past work
features study of attitude
change, dissonance, concept for-
mation, and cognitive processes.

Dr. Freedman has been a pro-
fessor of psychology at Colum-
bia since 1969. He previously
taught at Stanford University,
Calif., in the psychology depart-
ment. Professor Freedman is a
graduate of Harvard University
and received his Ph. D from Yale
University in 1961 .

Au revoir a Molho

by ANN FINCHER

Monsiuer Raphael Molho,
visiting professor of French, left
Agnes Scott Fri. Nov. 2. From
here, Monsieur Molho was flying
to Washington where he planned
to deliver a lecture at Washing-
ton University before returning
to France on Monday. Monsieur
Molho will resume his depart-
mental chairmanship at the Uni-
versity of Paris-X where he
teaches history of French litera-
ture. At Agnes Scott, Monsieur
Molho taught two courses: the
novels of Andre Malraux and
French Romanticism.

Monsieur Molho discussed
differences in French and Ameri-
can students, specifically Agnes
Scott students. The essential dif-
ference, according to Monsieur
Molho, is one of "I'enseigne-
ment" or instruction. In French

universities studies are highly
specialized, and the concept of
"liberal arts" does not exist. The
French student chooses a "ma-
jor" as soon as he enters the uni-
versity. Monsieur Molho empha-
sized the lack of choice in this
system and praised the American
system which allows a delayed
declaration of' major. Monsieur
Molho stated that French univer-
sities are in the process of adopt-
ing the American "delayed dec-
laration" which allows greater
diversity in study.

Monsieur Molho also noted
"the system of life here exists in
the life of the student." This
attitude, he suggested, creates an
atmosphere which is too pro-
tected from "la vie real." Mon-
sieur Molho commended the

Feminism in context

It is not particularly amazing that feminist sentiments do not veer
toward the left at Agnes Scott. Recent exposure to the movement
has left many of us with the feeling that rhetoric alone (and purely
negative rhetoric at that) does little for it and possibly much against
it.

We already know of many areas in which there is discrimination
against women. But circuitous oratory merely detracts from legiti-
mate complaints against things which are wrong when what we need
to know is just how to go about changing them.

Some things are so monumental it takes a movement to alter
them, but in order to become genuinely involved with a movement
and not just swept along with it, you have to have a clear sense of
your own identity. A movement can help you realize this, but no
movement can give it to you.

In order to be liberated, you have to be liberated from something.
It's rather difficult to feel oppressed at ASC, but life in the "real"
world is something else (so they say). So if we speak of ourselves as
liberated women, we are probably thinking more in terms of inde-
pendence from personal hang-ups which would prevent us from
doing what we wanted to do.

Consciousness-raising in general seeks to rid women of such hang-
ups. It is doubtful that we would be here if we were not already
reasonably secure in and confident of our abilities as people as well
as women.

We don't need to be told more than once that something has to
be done and that we can do it. What we need as we begin life in the
"jungle" is positive direction. If disillusioned and frustrated people
want to air their grievances in front of us they have the right to
speak their minds, but it is hoped that they are not setting the kind
of example we would want to follow.

This is the first time I have
had a chance to write for the
Profile, so I will be personal. Per-
haps that is all I can be for now.
My story has to do with me now
- and so for you - for we are
women who find this time in our
lives full of

limits and possibilities

struggle and chance

pain and joy.

We (as religious beings) en-
counter transcendence with the
ambigious notion of our human-
ness. Are we, as women, the
darker side of good, or are we in
fact good incarnate? Are we as
the "perfect good" to be ever
mindful of others to the exclu-
sions of ourselves? Or, perhaps,
shall we always be wantonly sul-
ky to the exploitation of the
other?

Angelina Grimke Weld faced
these questions as she grappled
with her life as a "Southern
belle". Born into a wealthy
Charleston, South Carolina, fam-
ily, she was raised with the insti-
tution of slavery. Her journey in
the I830's is ours. We have edu-
cation, she had to go north to
find it.

So with her, we have minds
and hearts which clash together
to raise up grave doubts to
acheive other than our "proper
place".

mittee on anti-slavery of the
Legislature of Massachusetts as
the first woman to ever address a
law-making body. In 1 838, con-
troversial and exhausted from
lecturing, she addressed the
crowded hall as Queen Ester had
so many years before.

"Mr. Chairman, it is my privi-
lege to stand before you on a
similar mission of life and
love ... I stand before you as a
citizen, on behalf of the 20,000
women of Massachusetts whose
names are enrolled on petitions
which have been submitted to
the Legislature . . . These peti-
tions relate to the great and
solemn subject of slavery . . .

. . . And because it is a politi-
cal subject, it has often taunting-
ly been said that women had
nothing to do with it. Are we
aliens because we are women?
Are we bereft of citizenship be-
cause we are mothers, wives, and
daughters of a mighty people?
Have women no country - no
interest staked in public weal -
no liabilities in common peril -
no partnership in a nation's guilt
and shame?

If so, then may we well hide
our faces in the dust, and cover
ourselves with sackcloth and
ashes. This dominion of women
must be resigned - the sooner
the better; in the age which is
approaching she should be some-
thing more - she should be a
citizen ... I hold, Mr. Chairman,
that American women have to
do with this subject, not only
because it is moral and religious,
but because it is political, inas-

much as we are citizens of this
republic and as such our honor,
happiness, and well-being are
bound up in its politics, govern-
ment and laws.

I stand before you as a sou-
therner, exiled from the land of
my birth by the sound of the
lash and the piteous cry of the
slave. I stand before you as a
moral being and as a moral being
I feel that I owe it to the suffer-
ing slave and to the deluded mas-
ter, to my country and to the
world to do all that I can to
overturn a system of compli-
cated crimes built upon broken
hearts and prostrate bodies of
my countrymen in chains and
cemented by the blood, sweat,
and tears of my sisters in

Angelina meant to challenge
the God of men. She felt com-
pelled to speak out against the
obvious of all human abuse. Per-
haps in 1973 we join her. Per-
haps we don't identify with her
struggle at all. Perhaps we are
afraid - as she was - of isola-
tion.

But perhaps in her pain, and
ours, we emerge as persons nei-
ther exploited nor exploiting.
We emerge to take our stand
with the many who see a hew
world. A world that allows all
humans to dance free in our li-
mits and possibilities, our pains
and joys.

Perhaps we are together. Per-
sonally, I am afraid sometimes in
my new steps. I need others
you, perhaps.

Photography contest slated;
"people helping people" theme

A new competition for ama-
teur photographers with a "Peo-
ple Helping People" theme has
been announced by Eastman
Kodak Company. The 1974
Kodak Community Service Pho-
tography Awards will provide
cash prizes for the best photo-
graphs that show how people de-
vote their skills, time and money
to helping others improve the
quality of their lives.

The contest is divided into
two categories black-and-
white and color with equal
prizes being offered in each.
There will be eight Awards of
Excellence at $100 each; eight
Awards of Distinction at $75
each; eight Awards of Merit at
$50 each; and Special Awards of
$25 each, to be determined by
the judges.

Entries for the 1974 awards
must not be postmarked later
than February 1. Original slides
or prints of any size are accept-
able and all prints must be ac-
companied by the original nega-
tive.

I his Awards program has
been initiated to call attention
to the value of photography in
dramatically recording the hu-
man aspects of a wide variety of

community service projects in
which people help people - such
as programs for the deaf, mute,
blind, retarded, handicapped; re-
habilitation; day care; cultural
enrichment; disaster service;
youth development; family ser-
vice; job training; health service.
These are the types of activities
that will offer subject matter for
the competition.

An informational brochure,

including rules and official entry

easier separation from family
which seems to accompany the
atmosphere. In France the cam-
pus community, in the American
sense of the word, does not
exist. Students live with their
families or in apartments, and
the college community is not as
closely knit as the college com-
munity Monsieur Molho has en-
countered in the United States.

Another distinguishing
characteristic of American col-
leges, and Agnes Scott particu-
larly, is the rapport between pro-
fessors and students. Monsieur
Molho commented how much he
enjoyed his teach of Agnes Scott
students who are "more direct,

spontaneous, and animated.'
The one-to-one relationship
Monsieur Molho has encoun-
tered here is not as pronounced
or as important in French uni-
versities.

Monsieur Molho also noted
the atmosphere of friendship
here. He said Agnes Scott stu-
dents are "very, very serious,
very nice, and very interesting."
Asked if he might return to
Agnes Scott, Monsieur Molho
said he hoped so and added how
much he has enjoyed his stay
here. La Table Ronde sponsored
a campus farewell party for
Monsieur Molho on Wed., Oct.
31.

Non-human feline among
residents at Agnes Scott

by PATTY PEARSON

One of the most noticeable
male faces on campus (although
any male face is rather notice-
able!) is George, an extremely
handsome and aristocratic cat
who was named for George
Washington Scott. George's
story is actually a love story for
he loves all of us as much as we
love him.

George appeared on campus
for the first time last spring
around the area of Rebekah.
Being a tomcat, he lived up to
his "prolific" tradition and fa-
thered a litter of kittens who
made their home under Rebe-
kah. (He has since been neuter-
ed.)

The cat came to the attention
of Miss Mary Virginia Allen,
chairman of the French dept.,
who christened him George.
During the summer, Miss Allen
fed him every day in front of
Rebekah. Miss Allen found out
that Mrs. O'Kelley, who works
with Mrs. Turner, wanted a good
outdoor cat and George fit those
qualifications, and so he became
Mrs. O'Kelley's cat.

Now, Mrs. O'Kelley lives on
Memorial Drive just off of Ken-
sington, near Treasure Island.
George couldn't have asked for
more he has a lovely place to
live. In fact, he had his own
house! George seemed perfectly
happy. Well, the day the fresh-
men came to Scott, George dis-
appeared. After he'd been miss-
ing for a while, Mrs. O'Kelley
gave him up for dead.

About one week later, Mrs.
O'Kelley found George. He'd re-
turned to "his girls" on the
Scott campus! It's a good 4
miles from Mrs. O'Kelley's house
to the Scott campus and traffic
is very heavy around the whole 4
miles, so George risked pretty
much to get back here to be
with us. The amazing thing is
not so much that he walked
back to Scott just to be with us,
but how did he know when we
were coming?

George is "a lovely cat, very
intelligent," says Miss Allen.
He's also very affectionate and
responds very warmly to a little

from the University of Toronto
and later earned his doctorate in
Romance Linguistics at Harvard
University in 1950.

Between 1944 and 1946, he
served as a German interpreter
for the Canadian forces in
Europe. Since then he has taught
at Harvard, Yale, and Kalamazoo
College and has lectured all over
the world. Among the many
honors that he has received in
the last seventeen years, Dr.
Boyd-Bowman has been naned
Fulbright Lecturer in Hispanic
Linguistics by the Institito Caro
y Cuervo, Bogota, and was listed
in Who's Who in American Edu-
cation in 1965. Spain also gave
him the title of John Simon
Guggenheim Fellow in 1956 for
his research in the Archive of the
Indies, Seville.

The author of five books and
numerous articles, this accom-
plished educator has become in-
volved with innovations in lan-
guage teaching, especially in the
field of self-instruction. He is
also currently engaged in a com-
puterized analysis of the lan-
guage of Spanish colonial docu-
ments aimed at establishing the
chronology of dialect differences
existing in Spanish America
today.

Dr. Boyd-Bowman will attend
the convention on Nov. 15
where he will speak on "Innova-
tions in Curricula" for the South!
Atlantic Association of Depart-
ments of Foreign Languages.
Agnes Scott's own Dr. Florence

Atlanta.

Dr. Boyd-Bowman will visit

mal meeting with the professor

loving. (If you're ever depressed,
George's soft fur and loud purr
are very comforting.) Various
students feed him and he makes
his home around all of us.

Miss Allen told people around
the campus not to call the
pound because, well, George is
the "Campus Cat" and is there-
fore much to dignified (and well
loved) to become a biological ex-
periment at Emory.

Mrs. O'Kelley also has affec-

Robert Shaw will conduct the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and
Chamber Chorus in Handel's monumental choral work, "Messiah"
for two performances, November 9 and 10, 8:30 p.m. in Symphony
Hall.

The special event concert will be performed by the 65-member
Chamber Chorus, and a chamber-size orchestra, which Shaw feels
captures the "spirit" of Handel's original work. Shaw will base his
interpretation of the classic on the May 15, 1754 version. Soloists
will be selected from the Chamber Chorus, which is under the direc-
tion of William F. Noll, III.

The three part oratorio, to be performed in its entirety, reveals
the prophecy and narrative of the Nativity; the story of the Passion
and Resurrection, featuring the mighty Hallelujah Chorus, and the
third part deals with man's hope for his own resurrection.

Tickets for "Messiah" are on sale at the Atlanta Symphony Box
Office in the Memorial Arts Center, phone 892-2414, scaled $2.60
to $7.30.

Student Overseas Services
offers summer jobs in Europe

More and more American col-
lege students are taking tempo-
rary, student jobs in Europe.
The trend is apparently because
students realize that earning a
trip to Europe can be profitable
in more ways than one. Any stu-
dent taking a temporary job in
Europe is able to get out and see
some of the world on a pay-as-
yx>u-go basis, and earn some
money besides.

A wide range of temporary
student jobs are now available in
Switzerland, Austria, France and
Germany. Any student may ap-
ply through a mail application

system. All jobs include free
room and board plus a standard
wage which ranges between
$140 and $350 - depending
upon the actual job, tips, etc.
However, the free room and
board are perhaps the best bene-
fit for a student in Europe.

Jobs, permits and other ne-
cessary details are arranged on a
non-profit basis by the Student
Overseas Services - a* student
run organization which has been
assisting students for 15 years.
SOS also conducts a 5-day orien-
tation period in Europe to make
certain everything goes smoothly

in Europe and that students get
off to their jobs, at the right
time.

Any student may obtain an
application form, job listings and
descriptions, and the SOS Hand-
book on earning a trip to Europe
by sending their name, address,
educational institution and $1
(for printing, postage, addressing
and handling) to SOS - Student
Overseas Services, 22 Ave. de la
Liberte, Luxembourg, Europe.
Students interested in winter
jobs in ski resorts should apply
immediately.

There's a special rate
most airlines don t
advertise.

It's the

Fm-sorry-sir-but-all-
the-seats-are-taken-rate.

If youre denied a seat on a flight for which you hold
a confirmed reservation, and the airline can't get you
on another flight scheduled to arrive within two hours
of your originally scheduled arrival, you're entitled to
immediate compensation.

The airline must give you your money back and an
amount equal to the value of the first flight coupon on
your ticket, providing the coupon cost a minimum of
$25 and a maximum of $200. In many cases that
means double your money back.

Deliberate overbooking is a deceptive practice
used to insure a completely booked flight. If an airline
does it to you ask for immediate compensation. If they
refuse ask for a written explanation And send it to the
Civil Aeronautics Board in Washington. D.C.

Remember that, next time you have a hard time
getting off the ground.

Trustees approve budget

by JOYCE McKEE

The Board of Trustees met
Friday, Oct. 26, for their fall
business meeting.

After having lunch with
selected students and board
chairmen, the trustees met and
approved an operating budget of
$ 3,970,000. This budget
operates from July 1973 to July
1974, and although it includes
contingency funds, no money is
slated for any of the proposed
changes. The money for
improvements must be raised
from alumnae, gifts to the col-
lege and private foundations.

The trustees also approved
the five-year Robbins Plan for
campus improvement. A mini-
mum of $250,000 is planned
over the next five years to be
spent on lighting the campus for
safety and aesthetical reasons,
graphics, shrubbery and trees.
Clyde Robbins is an Atlanta firm
responsible for surveying the
campus and suggesting improve-
ments. The trustees voted to
move ahead with graphics and
lighting but defer shrubbery and
trees for a while.

Estimates for air conditioning
Gaines and Maclean, a large
dorm and the library are also
being taken. The trustees ap-
proved this action as well as the
taking of bids for renovation of
the library.

Ron Gellerstedt, vice chair-
man of the board, was appointed
Chairman of the Inauguration
Committee. President Perry's in-
auguration will be sometime in
the spring when it can be held
outside. The committee will in-
clude trustees, faculty, adminis-
tration, alumnae, and students.

The college pays a share of
the Blue Cross/Blue Shield and
Major Medical Insurance plan for
both contract and non-contract

employees. For hourly workers
who make less than twice the
minimum wage, the college will
now pay three/fourths of both
these coverage policies. An
individual must work at Agnes
Scott for 90 days to be eligible
for the plans. Coverage for the
family as well as the individual is
also available. President Perry
also reported that he is working

fall meeting

on a retirement and pension plan
for non-contract employees.

In other action, the board
heard reports from the deans,
Mr. McCain, and Mr. Hannah,
treasurer of the college. The
board also voted a resolution of
sorrow for the death of Mrs.
Pendleton, Director of Alumnae
Affairs.

Resolved, that the present
sign-out policy as stated in the
Student Handbook be amended
to read as follows:

A. Fall Quarter Freshmen

1 . must sign out on their sign-
out card at the hostess desk if
planning to be out after 7
p.m., stating date, destina-
tion, and expected time of re-
turn;

2. must return by dorm
closing hours;

3. must sign out on their sign-
out card at the hostess desk
when spending the night
away from their own campus
residences and supply the re-
quired information;

4. must sign out on their card
at the hostess desk for
Thanksgiving and Christmas
vacations.

B. Upperclassmen and Winter

and Spring Quarter Fresh-
men

1. are STRONGLY URGED
to leave information which
would be helpful in locating
them in an emergency situ-
ation if they remain off cam-
pus or do not return to their
respective residences by dorm
closing hour;

2. must sign out on their sign-
out card at the hostess desk
for Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Spring, and Summer vaca-
tions.

C. If a student assumes the
responsibility for signing another
student out when sign-out is re-
quired under the conditions
cited above, the student as-
suming such responsibility will
be held accountable if she fails
to do so.

Be it further resolved that
Interdorm, in conjunction with
the Dean of Students' Office,
will notify all parents and
guardians of these changes at the
earliest possible date

Parking on campus

Office of registrar,
admissions to separate

President Marvin B. Perry, Jr.,
has announced the separation of
the functions of Registrar and
Director of Admissions, effective
July 1, 1974.

"Since 1 957 Miss Laura
Steele, who is a nationally recog-
nized authority in the college ad-
missions field, has discharged
with great distinction the duties
of both the Registrar and Direct-
or of Admissions," said Dr.
Perry.

"The increasing responsibili-
ties and pressures of these two
offices, however," he continued,
"have become more than one
person should be expected to
carry. Therefore, I am separating
these two important offices ef-
fective with the end of the cur-
rent school year. Miss Steele will
continue as Registrar of the Col-
lege with appropriate staff as-
sistance.

"Mrs. Ann Rivers Payne

Director of Admissions, will be-
come Director of Admissions.

have in Ann Rivers Thompson

Sesquicentennial is
convocation topic

by PATTY PEARSON

Mrs. Caroline McKinney
Clarke will speak on the Decatur
Sesquicentennial activities at
convocation on Wednesday,
Nov. 28, at 11:30 a.m. in
Gaines.

Mrs. Clarke is a distinguished
alumna of Agnes Scott, having
graduated in the class of 1927.
She has been in public service,
particularly in DeKalb County,
for over 30 years. In 1931 Mrs.
Clarke became involved with the
American Legion Auxiliary and
worked also with the Unemploy-
ment Relief Agency. From
1934-42 she was National Youth
Administration supervisor for
Fulton, Rockdale, and DeKalb
counties. In 1945 Mrs. Clarke
became the Director of the De-

partment of Public Welfare in
DeKalb County, a post she held
until her retirement a year ago.

Besides her official post, she
has worked with many other
organizations in DeKalb County.
In 1949 Mrs. Clarke was on the
advisory committee for the child
guidance clinic for Fulton and
DeKalb counties and was also
President of DeKalb County
Community Council. She was
the first vice-president of De-
Kalb County Historical Society.

In addition to being an alum-
na, Mrs. Clarke is connected
with Agnes Scott through "other
ties. Her daughter is an alumna
(Louise Hill Reaves, '54), and
her aunt was Professor Louise
Hill McKinney, who taught Eng-
lish here for 46 years.

include Miss McKemie, Miss
Currie, Mr. Blackmon and two
student representatives.

The committee found that
Scott's parking facilities were
essentially adequate. Professors
and day students may not al-
ways be able to park as close to
their offices and classrooms as
they would like, but according
to Mr. Wilde, the committee
"doesn't plan to do anything
about it" at this time, as there
are plenty of spaces in the lots
near Hopkins and the tennis
courts. Boarders are encouraged
to park their cars near their
dormitories to leave more con-
venient spaces open for day stu-
dents and faculty.

At present, there are very few
parking regulations. Student and
faculty cars must be registered.
The only areas where parking is
prohibited are at those spaces
marked with yellow lines, load-
ing zones, and the three spaces
in front of Buttrick reserved for
visitors; tickets are given for
violating these rules and the
Treasurer's Office is responsible
for collecting fines. There are no
reserved spaces on campus ex-
cept those for Dr. Perry, Mr.
Saxon, and dining hall em-
ployees.

The committee only acts now
in handling complaints. There
have been few problems, and at
this time nearly everyone seems
to be relatively satisfied with the
parking situation.

Energy crisis

It is common knowledge that the "energy crisis" may hit home
this winter if steps are not taken to conserve fuel and electricity.
Institutions use a great deal of both; as members of an institution,
we can do our part to avert such a crisis here.

A large amount of energy is wasted in overheating the buildings
on campus. The waste becomes obvious when so many windows
have to be opened that it seems as if Agnes Scott is heating outdoor
Decatur as well.

Dr. Perry has suggested that the laundry uses more steam than is
justifiable for the volume it handles. If this is so, other arrangements
might be made. The energy consumed would be someone else's, but
less would probably be used in the long run.

If the college is forced to drastically reduce heating, there are still
a number of things which can be done by individuals to stay warm.
The first idea that comes to mind is to wear more clothes. It has
been proved that several layers of clothing conserve body heat much
better than one or two. This principle applies also to blankets.

Other things which can be done now as well as in an emergency
are turning off lights, radios, etc., which are not being used, using
only as much hot water as is needed, and shutting off radiators not
in use (if you can).

Hopefully, we will not have to take extreme measures. In the
meantime we need to remember that little things add up, for better
or for worse.

Jan Fredrickson

Faculty cutbacks
still an issue

Since the announcement in The Profile five weeks ago, students
have voiced their views through an editorial, a letter to the editor,
and a petition. By first editing the Profile article and by later com-
menting during informal Wednesday convocation, Dr. Perry has
sought to clarify his stance and reassure the student body. We re-
main unconvinced. The decision to release one professor in each of
the departments of English, history, and biology should be reversed.

The consequences of the decision are undesirable. Overcrowding
in freshman English with the resultant inability to give individual
attention through personal conferences, a shifting of teaching re-
sponsibility in the history department resulting in alternating courses
and the squeaky start on a course after it lies fallow for a year, the
division in the history department of 29 courses among four profes-
sors, the loss of a professor in the traditionally strong English depart-
ment which continues to draw the most majors, and the possible loss
of the nation's bicentennial as the topic of the 1975-1976 McCain
Lecture and of an American studies major certainly seem undesirable
to us.

That President Perry sees no problem, we must conclude after his
remarks last Wednesday during the informal convocation. Should
any unforseen difficulty arise, he says, it can neatly be solved by
visiting professors.

This attitude implies not a disregard of the academic excellence
which is ours, but a failure to comprehend what that excellence
means. That excellence demands a regard for the intellectual life and
a dedication to maintaining (or improving) a faculty and program at
least at its present level, before a "graphic" is put up, a sidewalk
added or a shrub planted. The Robbins Plan for campus beautifica-
tion is fine so long as we don't economize with our faculty, especial-
ly by simply releasing untenured professors from the largest depart-
ments.

Because our greatest tradition is threatened, we are concerned.
Because Agnes Scott has persuaded us that the liberal arts are vital
and because we are witness to the difference a fine faculty makes,
we seek a reversal. - Joyce McKee

To the Editor:

I had read with interest the
article entitled, "The Twelve
Steps to Obnox iousness. "
Having attended a lecture the
night of Oct. 31,1 could identify
the subject with the speaker!

Ti-Grace Atkinson had
achieved the art of obnoxious-
ness, that is, "the art of display-
ing a maximum amount of rude-
ness in a minimum amount ot
time." She impressed me as
being a very bitter and depressed

woman who tried to impose her
opinions on her audience.

Her speech (a rambling one at
best) was full of generalizations
and lacked foundation. It was
also apparent that the more shal-
low statements of her speech
were aided by heavy doses of
vulgar words. These choice
words did little to enhance her
topic!

In conclusion, I express my
deep disappointment with the

selection of Ms. Atkinson as a
guest speaker for Agnes Scott
College. I look forward to better
speakers with more stimulating
topics this year.

Respectfully submitted,
Sandra Saseen

noxiousness" editorial was writ-
ten before Ms. Atkinson's lec-
ture and without her in mind,

To the Editor:

Regarding Freshman research
papers, I think it was very poor
planning on the part of the Eng-
lish Department to have had
these important papers due at
relatively the same time for all
classes. I realize from talking
with other girls that there was
some overlap with respect to the
due dates, but it was not
enough.

Books of a certain type,
desperately needed by girls in
one class, had already been
checked out of the library by
another class, not to be returned
for two weeks. Granted, board-
ers can share books with one
another, but even so there are
some problems involved in this

CHAPLAINS' CORNER

arrangement. Someone always
gets the short end of the deal.

I offer as a suggestion to have
either different topics per class,
or staggered times for the papers
to be due. The amount of re-
search one can do for a two-
week paper is slim enough as it
is, and if several books are
missing that directly concern
one's paper, there is not much
else to do but completely change
one's topic, which brings me to
my next point.

As it stands now, the English
Department has, in some ways,
defeated its purpose in having
the research paper. Research
means just what it says: taking
one into an unfamiliar territory.
However, since the time allotted
fpr these papers is so short, one

hardly has the time. If, for
example, one spent a week and a
half on research alone, which is
not long considering, and left
only a few days to write, the
paper will not be successful. For,
as William Coyle remarks, a good
research paper is not written "in
a frenzied burst of energy"
(William Coyle, cd., Research
Papers [New York: The Odyssey
Press, 1971], p. 54).

English teachers: Get on the
ball. Coordinate with your asso-
ciates the dates your research
papers will be due. If you are
only allowing us the minimal
amount of time in which to do
these papers, give us a break in
some other way.

What will you tell your kids
about religion, church, etc.?

Dear Profile Reader,
"What Can We Tell Our Chil-
dren?" (A sequel to "Why Do
The Heathen Rage?")

It may seem too early to talk
about children and what we
should tell them concerning reli-
gion, church, values, etc. These
thoughts do strike us once and a
while, especially when we meet
some guy who ,tums out to be
sort of special.

Most Agnes Scott young
women are not here just to look
for a husband - Ti-Grace not-
withstanding - but when we
think of "open marriage" and all
the new ideas of how men and
women relate together these
days, sooner or later the subject
of children enters into the pic-
ture. "Am I going to perpetrate
on these innocent darlings what
was religiously done unto me
church, Sunday School, etc.?"

We are disturbed because the
question serves to remind us that
we don't think we can come up
with an answer for this and
other questions about religion
that will both express our true
feeling and, at the same time,
not turn children against the
church and religion in general.

A very basic problem, of
course, arises from the fact that
a great many liberal-minded col-
lege Ntudents have neglected the

old theology which simplistically
accounted for all contingencies.
(God was responsible for every-
thing that was good and the de-
vil was responsible for every-
thing that was bad. End of dis-
cussion.) Yet they have not re-
placed it with a comparable new
theology, a comprehensive, co-
hesive understanding of their
faith which would enable them
to satisfactorily answer not only
their future children's questions,
but their own as well. As a re-
sult, they have little or nothing
that they can straight-forwardly
pass on to anyone with faith and
conviction.

"Let them grow up and de-
cide for themselves," you say.
Some parents do think this way,
but I think it is a difficult posi-
tion to maintain. In the first
place, almost every Agnes Scott
student has ties to some church
(or churches) which run much
deeper than theology. And des-
pite your present problem with
the church, you still consider
yourself a Christian and would
like your children to do likewise.
You are hopeful that the confu-
sion will eventually be sorted
out and the church will evolve
into an institution that you can
support fully and with convic-
tion.

Secondly, if your children arc

someday to reject your brand of
Christianity, you would at least
like them to truly know what it
is that they are rejecting. And
perhaps you just want them to
believe in something.

I suppose what I'm really say-
ing is that to support a position
whereby you feel in conscience
that you can tell your children
something about religion and
church and all that stuff, you're
going to have to know what you
believe and how to verbalize it.
What are the odds that you will
achieve this ordered understand-
ing of your faith while here at
Agnes Scott? I await your reply.

Sincerely,

Father Gcniesse

Geniesse is the Catholic chaplain

THE PROFILE / November 16, 1973

Foreign students add
internat'lcharm toASC

by ANN FINCHER

The Class of 1977 has four
foreign students. They are Lydia
Bendeck, Olayinka Adejumake
Edun, Jennifer Joanne Frank,
and Susan Leong. All four stu-
dents underwent rigorous testing
before coming to Agnes Scott,
particularly in English. Thus far
the students seem to be enjoying
their freshman year, and they all
had comments to make about
Agnes Scott.

Lydia Bendeck is a native of
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Central
America. She is one of eight chil-
dren, five of whom are now liv-
ing in the United States. Al-
though Lydia is a Honduran citi-
zen, she is also an American citi-
zen. She was born in Atlanta
eighteen years ago when her
mother was visiting some rela-
tives in the city. Because Lydia's
parents are Honduran, she has
citizenship in Honduras, and be-
cause her birthplace is in the
United States, she has citizen-
ship in the United States. Lydia
has not had to choose between
her citizenships and so far the
dual citizenship has caused no
problems.

Lydia had an "American"
education in Honduras. All her
courses in her Honduras high
school were taught in English
and closely paralleled the curri-
culum of United States high
schools.

When asked how she chose

Agnes Scott, Lydia explained
that a family friend in Honduras
had formerly lived in Marietta.
This friend praised Agnes Scott
and wrote to the admissions of-
fice requesting information be
sent to Lydia. Lydia received
this information and an applica-
tion during her junior year in
high school. At the end of her
senior year, she was still undeci-
ded about attending Scott. Then
one month before the beginning
of fall quarter, Lydia decided
she wanted to come. After a hur-
ried application and many con-
versations between Laura Steele
and her brothers, who were in
Atlanta, her membership in the
freshman class was settled. One
month later Lydia was here.

Yinka Edun comes to Agnes
Scott from Igbobi Lagos, Ni-
geria. Yinka became acquainted
with Agnes Scott through the
American Embassy in Nigeria.
The embassy suggested several
colleges to Yinka and praised the
academic standing of Agnes
Scott. Yinka applied directly
through the admissions office
and was accepted. At that time,
one of the most concrete facts
about Agnes Scott, for Yinka,
was its all woman population.

Yinka is also one of eight
children. She attended Our Lady
of Apostles High School in Ni-
geria. She will be twenty years
old in three months. Yinka's
favorite comment about facets
of Agnes Scott life - academic,

social, and dorm is, "It is
interesting." Yinka pointed out
that adaptation is necessary and
commented that the time change
is particularly disorienting. When
she is feeling lively in accordance
with time in Igbobi Lagos, the
rest of Winship is slumbering in
accordance with eastern stan-
dard time.

Jenny Frank, like Lydia, was
born in the United States, in
New York City. However, the
longest period she has spent here
is a four-year stay in Georgia. Al-
though her parents' current
address is Spain, Jenny's orienta-
tion is definitely German. Jenny
spent the past seven years in
Germany. She attended a Ger-
man boys boarding school in the
Black Forest and at this school
Jenny met her fiance, who is
also German.

Jenny's decision to come to
Agnes Scott was based on her
mother's love affair with the col-
lege. Mrs. Frank vacationed in
Atlanta in February, 1972, and
at that time visited Agnes Scott.
She loved the college, imparted
her enthusiasm to Jenny, and
Jenny is now a freshman. She
says she "can understand why
her mother loves the college."

Jenny plans to spend Christ-
mas in Spain with her parents
and sister, and New Year with
her fiance and his family in Ger-
many.

Susan Leong, who comes
from Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, ac-

The international set among the class of '77: Susan Leong, Lydia
Bendeck, Jenny Frank, Yinka Edun, Vesna Turak.

quired her orientation to Agnes
Scott through her sister, who is a
student at Mercer College in
Macon. Susan's sister visited Lily
Chan, an Agnes Scott junior, and
was impressed with the campus,
its friendliness, and the high aca-
demic standing of Agnes Scott.
She wrote to the admissions of-
fice to obtain information for
her sister, Susan. Susan has had
English in school since first
grade, so the language is not a
great problem. She likes Agnes
Scott and is not homesick. Susan
said she. will not be going home
for Christmas and probably not
this summer either . . . probably
the summer of her sophomore
year will be Susan's first visit
home.

When Susan is not teaching
her roommate how to say "shut
up, you pig," in Cantonese
(phonetically: mm ho cho lay
chee), she is busy with classes
and adapting to Americans -
"they are so bubbly."

Vesna Turak was born and
raised in Santiago, Chile. Her
parents are native Yugoslavians,
but now hold Chilean citizen-
ship. She has one younger sister,
Tatigna. Vesna chose to come to
Agnes Scott after investigating

its recommendation by the wife
of her minister in Ft. Valley,
Georgia, where she spent the last
three years. Vesna speaks Span-
ish, Yugoslavian, and English flu-
ently, and is interested in biol-
ogy and linguistics. She has at-
tended Catholic schools both in
Chile and in the United States.
Vesna likes Agnes Scott, but
says the outlook on life is better
in Chile. Moreover, Vesna adds,
there are better job opportuni-
ties in Chile. Vesna's mother
holds a degree in dentistry.

The five "international" stu-
dents were unanimous in their
response to the people of the
United States. Apparently
Americans have a reputation for
being cold and technological.
Lydia, Yinka, Jenny, Susan, and
Vesna were surprised at the lack
of coldness and pleased with the
warmth they have encountered
at Agnes Scott.

Students plan German study in Marburg

Another view of Marburg

by SUSAN BALCH

What's the best way to learn
about a country? Total immer-
sion in the life and language of
the country. What's a great way
to have fun during summer vaca-
tion? Travel and see the sights in
Europe. The German depart-
ment, headed by Gunther Bick-
nese, is offering a program in the
summer of 1974 which includes
both an exciting vacation and a
great educational experience.

On the 18th of June, about
twenty students from Agnes
Scott will arive in either Luxem-
bourg or London to begin a ten-
day tour. The tour will include
both East and West Berlin, Dres-
den, Prague, and hopefully Mu-
nich. From Munich, the students
will travel to Marburg where
they will begin six weeks'of in-
tensive study.

Courses offered will include
the full year of German 101,
two quarters of German 201, a
civilization course and possibly a
conversation and composition
course. The classes will be en-

riched by lectures from profes-
sors from the University of Mar-
burg. The civilization course will
also include several field trips.
For example, if the class is cur-
rently talking about city govern-
ment, they might spend an after-
noon at the city hall, seeing how
it works.

The students will finish up
their classwork during the first
week in August. They will then
have the option of going directly
home or staying for an addi-
tional two-week tour of France,
Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and
southern Germany.

Anyone who will have had a
year of German is eligible to par-
ticipate in this program. The
cost will be about $1 100 and in-
cludes round trip fare to Europe,
room and board, field trips, and
all fees. The optional two-week
tour is expected to cost an addi-
tional $200. There is no definite
deadline for applications yet.
The German department plans
to have a booklet with the full
details ready to distribute hefore
Thanksgiving.

FILM TO BE PRESENTED AT HIGH MUSEUM OF ART

Painters Painting a remarkable film of encounters with some of
the most celebrated contemporary painters will be screened at The
High Museum of Art on four days in November.

Jasper Johns, William de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Bob
Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler,
Kenneth Noland, Barnett Newman, Larry Poons, Jules Olitski, and
Philip Pavia are the artists interviewed and often seen at work in
their studios - in the film. Conversations are had too with critics,
curators, a dealer and two collectors. Works of the late Hans Hof-
mann and Jackson Pollock are also included.

The two-hour film is produced and directed by Emile deAntonio,
filmmaker best known for Point of Order, In the Year of the Pig,
and Millhouse. DeAntonio is well-acquainted with the artists and has
been compiling the material for a number of years. Painters Painting
is shot in color and in black and white and is devoted entirely to the
painters talking about themselves and their work.

The somewhat controversial film premiered in Washington, D. C.,
and was received with favor by critics and public alike. It has been
shown to large audiences subsequently in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Baltimore, Buffalo, Toledo, New York and Stockholm.

Painters Painting will be shown at the High Museum on Friday,
Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 17, at 8:00 p.m., and on Sunday, Nov.
18, at 3:00 p.m. All viewings will be in the Hill Auditorium.

Tickets may be purchased at the door before each showing or in
advance in the Museum office Monday through Friday. Donations
are $1.50 for the general public; $1.25 for students ( I D's requested);
and $ 1 .00 for Museum Members.

ATLANTA SYMPHONY TO PERFORM BERLIOZ WORK

Music Director Robert Shaw will direct the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus with soloists Elizabeth Mannion, John Stewart
and Ara Berberian in performances of Berlioz' "Romeo and Juliet,"
a Dramatic Symphony, in subscription concerts Nov. 15, 16, and 17,
at 8:30 p.m. in Symphony Hall.

The concerts will mark the first Atlanta Symphony performances
of the work. The 200-member Atlanta Symphony Chorus is under
the direction of EXXON-Affiliate Artists Conductor, Elmer Thomas.

Mezzo-soprano, Elizabeth Mannion, presently a professor of voice
at the Indiana University School of Music, has scored wide success in
opera roles, both in the U. S. and in Europe. She has also performed
the Verdi "Requiem" and Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis" at music
festivals under the direction of Robert Shaw. This will be her first
Atlanta appearance.

Ara Berberian, renowned basso, has recently completed his sixth
consecutive season with the San Francisco Opera Company. He has
sung more than 90 roles with U. S. opera companies, and is a fre-
quent performer with major orchestras. During the 1971-72 season,
he presented a series of concerts in Russia and Armenia.

Berberian has performed regularly for NBC and CBS television, in
several specials including the highly acclaimed "And David Wept,"
by Laderman. His performances are also available on RCA, Columbia
and Poseidon Society records.

Tenor John Stewart, featured last year with the Atlanta
Symphony in Haydn's "The Seasons," performs with the New York
City Opera Company and several other major companies. He was
engaged by the Santa Fe Opera Company for the American premiere
of Hindemith's "Cardillac." The mod Stewart once performed with
Yale's famous "Whiffenpoofs" and earlier as a youngster with the
Columbus Boy Choir.

A backstage party will be given following the Saturday evening
performance with a cash bar available. The Greenbriar committee of
the Women's Association will host the informal affair, which is open
to the audience.

Miss Steele, a graduate of
Agnes Scott, began working at
the College in 1938 as secretary
to President James Ross McCain.
She received her master's degree
from Columbia University in
1946, and in 1948 was named
Assistant Registrar, serving
under Registrar Dr. Samuel
Guerry Stukes. During the
1951-52 session she assumed the

The Freshman Class elected its Class Officers
and Board Representatives in a class meeting on
Monday, November 12. Elected from the slate of
101 candidates were:

CLASS OFFICERS

This building is: (a) for rent (b) for sale (c) condemned (d) not there any more (e) the local mosque (f) your home
for the next week.

Paper drive
begun here

Interested persons on campus
have organized an ecologically
motivated campue-wide paper
drive. It will begin this week and
will hopefully continue through-
out the school year if there is
enough interest and help from
the ASC community.

The plan works like this: a
place on each hall and cottage
will be designated for stashing
old newspapers and magazines
during the week - string will be
provided. Every Wednesday
these papers must be tied in bun-
dles (each hall responsible for its
own) and placed on the corner
of Buttrick Dr. behind the Hub
(inside the Hub if raining) no

later than 2:00 p.m. for pick-up.

It is hoped that everyone will
pitch in and cooperate with the
entire scheme so that it will
truly be a campus project. For
instance, on Wednesday every-
one should pick up a bundle and
drop it off on the way to class so
that the entire responsibility will
not rest with one person.

Newspapers and magazines
must be bundled separately.
There is no designation for the
money made on this project.
This will be decided by the cam-
pus community later. For fur-
ther information, contact Miss
Cox, Mr. Reinhart, or a member
of BSA.

Where endowment goes

by EVA GANTT

Income from endowment
funds accounts for 36.5 per cent
of Agnes Scott's budget for the
1973-74 year.

Distribution of these funds is
handled by the investment com-
mittee of the board of trustees
in conjunction with the Trust
Company of Georgia. The trust
company makes recommenda-
tions as to how endowment
funds should be invested, and
the trustee committee must ap-
prove these recommendations
before action can be taken.

At the end of each calendar
quarter, new gifts are merged in-
to a "pooled fund," and the col-
lege's endowment assets arc eval-
uated. 1 he trust company makes
a report and recommendations
to the investment committee at
this time.

According to the report of
Sept. 30, 1973, 69.1 per cent of
Agnes Scott's endowment funds
is invested in common stocks,
while the remaining 30.9 per
cent is in bonds and preferred

stocks. Common stocks are
those that can increase rapidly in
market value; bonds and prefer-
red stocks, though they are fixed
in value, yield a higher income
than common stocks.

Investment for increase in
value as well as in income has
been the policy of the invest-
ment committee and the trust
company; this policy is reflected
in that common stocks account
for the greater percentage of as-
sets. The Sept. 30 report puts
the total inventory value, the
value of the securities when they
were acquired, at about
$36,945,000; the market value
of these securities, as of Sept.
30, has increased to about
$51,659,000.

Members of the investment
committee are William C. Ward-
law, chairman; Wilton D .
Looncy, j. R. Neal, A. H.
Sterne, L. L. Gellerstedt, Jr.,
John C. Wilson, George W.
Woodruff, and Hal L. Smith.

Alarm system explained

by SUSAN BALCH

In the past few weeks, the
fire alarm system at Agnes Scott
has come under discussion. Be-
cause some of the campus build-
ings are older and because the
safety of a large number of peo-
ple is involved, it is especially
important to have a well-orga-
nized fire-drill and fire-alarm
system.

The alarm system in each
building is separate from the
others and rings only in the
building itself. Should an alarm
be set off, the Decatur Fire De-
partment must be notified by
phone; currently, there is no
alarm hook-up with the fire sta-
tion.

Most of the buildings are
equipped with a heat-sensitive
sprinkler system. Should the
water-pressure go down or an ab-
normal amount of heat be
present, the system is automati-
cally set off. Both Buttrick and
Presser are equipped with hoses
which pull out from the wall.
The condition of these hoses is
inspected frequently and they
were all replaced this last sum-
mer.

There is no alarm or sprinkler
system in the library at this
time. This is due to the value of

the books and other materials
which would be damaged should
a sprinkler system go off. In the
renovation plans for the library
is included a fire alarm system
which would probably hook up
with the Decatur Fire Depart-
ment.

All of the fire alarm and
sprinkler systems are checked
periodically by the fire depart-
ment. In addition, the installers
of the systems inspect them an-
nually. During the summer, the
fire department makes an inten-
sive inspection. The firemen also
use this time to thoroughly fa-
miliarize themselves with each
building on campus: its name, its

location, doors, stairways, air-
pockets, etc.

Fire drills are currently held
once a quarter in each dormi-
tory. Rep Council recently
passed a recommendation that
fire drills be instituted in class-
room buildings, the dining hall,
and the library on a quarterly
basis. This action was taken
because students spend a large
amount of time in these areas as
well as in the dormitories. The
Rep Council recommendation
also proposed that the escape
routes for these other buildings
be posted and that alarm hook-
ups be made with the Decatur
Fire Department.

Double concert planned
to celebrate Christmas

by MARENE EMANUEL

Agnes Scott will observe the
Yuletide season this year on
Dec. 2, at 7:30 p.m., in Gaines
Auditorium with the annual
Christmas concert. This year's
commemoration promises to be
twice as exciting and inspiring,
for it will be the joint effort of
the Dance Group and the Glee
Club.

The vocal half of the perfor-

mance will consist of a program
of both light and heavy music
a combination of religious mas-
terpieces and well-known carols.
These will include selections
from The Christmas Oratorio by

Fire system doesn't
make connection

Is the Agnes Scott campus adequately protected in case of fire?
The facts on page one indicate that what equipment we have is in
good condition. But if it is ever needed, will a sprinkler system be
sufficient to control a fire until someone is able to reach the fire
department? Will anyone be there to pull hoses out of walls when
and where they are needed?

Although the nature of the contents of the library renders a
sprinkler system unfeasible, it seems odd that there is no alarm,
especially since special equipment would be needed to put out a fire
there. A hook-up with the Decatur Fire Department would be a
good way to protect the investment in the renovation of the library.

For that matter, why not have all buildings on campus connected
to the fire department? Granted, it may be expensive, but good
insurance isn't cheap. Getting people out of a burning building is the
most important thing, but every second counts when it comes to
saving the building, too.

Fire drills in buildings other than dormitories would be good if
they could be made practicable. In any case, the minimum precau-
tion ought to be the posting of escape routes on every floor of every
building.

As for dorms, fire drills once a quarter are sufficient practice for
getting out of the buildings, but there is too little emphasis on how
to use fire extinguishers. Once a year may be often enough for the
mechanically inclined, but most of us have never had an opportunity
to use them and might easily "freeze" in an emergency with an
unfamiliar piece of equipment. Quarterly review might also include
location of fire alarm boxes and what kind of extinguisher to use on
what kind of fire.

I would like to urge serious consideration of all proposals in the
Rep Council recommendation printed below.

Editor

Recommendations

WHEREAS, the policy of fire drills in campus living units is ade-
quate to insure the safety of students and protection of property in
the event of fire, and,

WHEREAS, a major portion of student time is spent in buildings
other than living units,

BE IT RESOLVED that the fire-drill policy include quarterly fire
drills when buildings are occupied, alarm hook-ups to the Decatur
Fire Department, and escape routes posted on bulletin boards, and
this should be made uniform for all major buildings on campus,
listed as follows: Dana Fine Arts Building, Buttrick Hall, Presser
Hall, Campbell Science Hall, Bucher Scott Gymnasium, McCain Li-
brary, Lctitia Pate Evans Dining Hall, and all living units.

To the Editor:

As an alumna who has long
believed that the community,
college and general, would bene-
fit from Agnes Scott's involve-
ment in the so-called "women's
movement," I was glad to see
the Lecture Association include
a program in this area. However,
some of us who are heavily in-
volved in the efforts to eliminate
sex discrimination in our soci-
ety, against males as well as
females, were startled, to say the
least, that the program took the
form of a poorly delivered,
meandering statement of one
person's personal views, which,

CHAPLAINS' CORNER

as clearly stated in the introduc-
tion and reiterated by Ms. Atkin-
son herself, do not represent
ANYBODY but this one woman.

I know no one who agrees
with her position that to achieve
equal rights for men and women,
it is necessary to eliminate love
and foster violence. Anybody
who hates herself as much as Ti-
Grace does must be very un-
happy. I feel sorry for her, but
wonder what gives her any credi-
bility to speak (and for good pay
yet!) as a leader or reliable re-
porter of "feminism."

The most constructive remark

of the evening was the question,
What are the areas in which ac-
tion is needed? Now that the
college has proved that it can
deal with radicalism, I wish there
were some opportunity for those
on the campus and off who are
interested in feminism (see Web-
ster: "practices leading to equa-
litv of the sexes; emancipation
of women") to come together
for another evening.
Sincerely,

Eliza Paschall Morrison

Games not recommended

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Stanley
McGraw is the Episcopal chap-
lain to Agnes Scott students.)

by THE REV.
STANLEY McGRAW

All of us to some degree or
another play roles or games in
order to get our way, the pur-
pose being to manipulate others
into doing what we desire or ex-
pect. This often occurs when the
person who is overly helpful sud-
denly demands in subtle ways
that he or she be repaid in some
even more subtle way. Another
example is the person who
always moans and groans about
life in a "poor me" fashion so as
to get sympathy.

Then there is the person who

creates disaster in his life and
then screams that life is really
unfair. Have you ever seen the
college student or faculty mem-
ber, or clergyman, who constant-
ly claims to be overworked so as
to draw praise and notice from
others? Really, the problem is
that he or she simply does not
know how to use time.

I suspect that the motive be-
hind all these games is that we
desire someone to reach out and
touch us. We all seek someone to
care for us and love us. The
problem is that when we seek to
obtain this touch of love by
manipulative games, we get so
lost in all the games that we
never can accept love. Our life
becomes a manipulative game
which thwarts the very thing we
desire.

Maybe there is a better way
to find acceptance and love
that way being simply to say, "I
am human and as a result I need
to give and to receive love."
There are always a few people
around who are mature and
human enough to accept that
need. The love of one or two
people like that is worth more
than all the games a thousand
people can play.

PROFS AUDIT COURSES

PAGE 3

Taste of own medicine
on other side of desk

by ANN FINCHER

Six Agnes Scott professors
are experiencing role reversal
this quarter. They are partici-
pating in classes, not as profes-
sors, but as students. Penny
Campbell, Marylin Darling,
Larry Hepburn, Dewey Kramer,
Sara Ripy, and Margret Trotter
are auditing courses.

Ms. Campbell, ordinarily a
history professor, is enrolled in
German 101. Ms. Campbell took
elementary German this summer
at Georgia State. When she re-
turned this fall, she wanted to
continue her study of German
and decided to audit the 101
course taught by Ms. Kramer.

Ms. Campbell and Ms. Kramer
both emphasized Ms. Campbell's
wish to be treated as a student.
According to Ms. Kramer, Ms.
Campbell is an excellent pupil.
She goes to the language lab, at-
tends class regularly, and partici-
pates actively. Mr. Campbell
takes her student role seriously.
Pippa, the German name her
classmates call her, "quivers" as
much as anyone when she must
deliver a dialogue. Ms. Campbell
said that she is studying German
"so I can read the menu faster
when I go to Zurich." She likes
to travel and dislikes the feeling
of being at the mercy of a for-
eign language.

Ms. Darling, who teaches
dance, and Mr. Hepburn, a mem-
ber of the education depart-
ment, are both studying elemen-
tary French under Mr. Bao. Ms.
Darling is taking the French as a
refresher course. She teaches bal-
let, and French terms are found
in the instruction. Ms. Darling
does not attend the language lab,
but she takes the tests, does the
classwork, and participates in a
"quiet" way. Mr. Bao said that
Ms. Darling is helpful in pointing
out areas of instruction that
might need further explanation.

Mr. Hepburn was a "special"
student in his section of French
01 for several weeks. Since fresh-
men largely make up elementary
French, they wouldn't know Mr.
Hepburn, who teaches upper
level education courses and semi-
nars. No one questioned his
presence in the class, but the
quarter was well established
before a student recognized him
as a member of the faculty. Mr.
Hepburn explained that he is
taking French because its lack is
a deficiency in his education. He
attends class regularly, partici-
pates orally, does the home-
work, and takes the tests. The
only difference that Mr. Hep-
burn's presence makes, accord-
ing to both Mr. Bao and Mr.
Hepburn, is providing a mascu-
line example in grammar. Mr.
Hepburn plans to continue his
study of French next year, if he
"gets a good grade" this year.

Ms. Kramer, professor of Ger-
man, is the only professor taking
a non-academic course. She is
taking dance. Ms. Kramer loves
dance as a form of expression
and is enjoying her course with
Ms. Darling. Ms. Darling treats
Ms. Kramer as a student and says
that the professor's presence
does not affect the class at all.
Ms. Kramer's student identity is
so strong that after two days of
absence, Ms. Staven, pianist for
the dance classes, asked Ms. Dar-
ling, "Where is the girl who's so
good?" Ms. Darling puzzled over
the student's identity and then
realized that Ms. Staven was re-
ferring to Ms. Kramer.

Ms. Ripy, professor of mathe-
matics, is auditing Classical
Mythology for "pure" enjoy-
ment. Ms. Ripy explains that as
an undergraduate, she had a
classical civilization course
which she enjoyed very much
and that the classical mythology
course taught by Ms. Glick had
long interested her. Ms. Ripy
does not orally participate in
class and "reserves the right to
plead the fifth amendment." She
did not take the test although
Ms. Glick gave her a copy and is
"waiting to hear Ms. Ripy's com-
ments."

Ms. Margret Trotter, pro-
fessor of English, is auditing ele-
mentary Russian. Ms. Trotter

her drama course and hopes that
an understanding of the language
will prove useful to her teaching
the plays. She enjoys the class
and her classmates, who are
"very patient with me." Ms.
Trotter believes that it is healthy
for professors "to be on the re-
ceiving end" and adds that "any-
one who is a teacher is a perpe-
tual student." One of Ms. Trot-
ter's most traumatic experiences
in her study of Russian was her
first visit to the language lab. Ms.
Trotter describes the lab as "ter-
rifying" and the sound of her
voice on tape as "disillusioning."
Ms. Trotter does not receive
grades for her work, oral or writ-
ten. Monsieur Volkoff, her pro-
fessor, believes that grading Ms.
Trotter's performance would be
"impertinent." He does correct
her errors and sometimes enlists
her aid in illustrating a point of
English grammar. Monsieur Vol-
koff says that Ms. Trotter is a
"good sport" in class and does
not "play the professor at all."

An illusion is shattered: Ms. Ripy learns in Classical Mythol-
ogy that Euclid and Pythogoras weren 't real after all . . .

of the college in 1917. She and
Mrs. Sam Inman, who was also
elected to the board in 1917,
were among the first female trus-
tees of colleges in the South.

Ms. Kirk is from Tuscumbia,
Ala., where she lives in the house
which her family has called
home for the past 100 years. Her
grandfather, a lawyer in Tuscum-
bia, built the house. Ms. Kirk
says that she is "conscious of the
family" that has lived there be-
fore but that no ghosts are
present.

Inman Dormitory, which was
named for the wife of the Chair-
man of the Board of Trustees,
Mrs. Sam Inman, was built while
Ms. Kirk was a student. The col-
lege also conducted its first cam-
paign to raise a million dollars,
which was celebrated in Decatur
upon completion.

Ms. Kirk reminisced about
the many changes that have
taken place since she was a stu-
dent. According to the view-
point of a former student, the
most obvious changes have been
made in social policy. Also,
Nanette Hopkins was then dean
of everything - both faculty and
students - and effectively deter-
mined most social policies of the
school.

In its entire history, Agnes
Scott has had only four presi-
dents: Dr. Gaines, Dr. McCain,
Dr. Alston, and Dr. Perry. Ms.
Kirk states that it is "her privi-
lege to have served as a trustee"
during the administration of all
four.

Ms. Kirk was serving as Presi-
dent of the Alumnae Association
when the Alumnae House was

built; Dr. Gaines was then the
president of the college. Ms.
Kirk served as head of alumnae
for two consecutive terms be-
cause, she explained, "I have a
flair for organization." Ms. Kirk
proudly points out that Agnes
Scott's was the first alumnae
house of a Southern college.

The "nucleus of the college,"
Ms. Kirk states, has always been
its "very fine faculty" who came
to the college, stayed - often
despite very low salaries - and
then left their estates to Agnes
Scott. Ms. Kirk claims that there
is a "germ at Agnes Scott" that
produces "dedicated people."

Ms. Kirk states that she is
aware of Agnes Scott's current
financial and enrollment situa-
tion. She says that the college's
"conservative financial policy"
of never building without first
having the money to pay for the
building has paid off, because
Agnes Scott has a much better
financial situation than many
other private colleges.

Decreased enrollment, Ms.
Kirk feels, can be alleviated by
presenting the college to young
women to whom a liberal arts
education appeals. She states
that the college should "never
lower its standards" and should
always seek to "attract brilliant
women" whose goal is to achieve
"what their ambition and capa-
city permit."

Ms. Kirk, who has never mar-
ried, says she doesn't regret it in
the least; she never found "a
man to fit the bill." She encour-
ages young women to do what
they want and ignore social pres-
sure.

ASC gets grants

Agnes Scott College is the
only southeastern institution
among 16 colleges awarded a
Carnegie Corporation grant of
$290,000 to fund a new
program of college and
university administrative
internships for young women.

The two-year (1974-75 and
1 975-76) program isdesignedto
encourage young women to
undertake careers in college and
university administration that
have traditionally been largely
restricted to men.

According to a recent report of
the National Association of State
Universities and Land Grant
Colleges, less than 2 percent of
womentin academic ad-
ministration are found in top-
level positions at state
universities and land grant
colleges.

If the internship program is
continued as long as five years, it
should add over 150 women to
the pool of potential top-level ad-
ministrators for colleges and
universities in areas where
women are grossly under-
represented, such as financial
and business affairs, ad-
missions, financial aid,
academic affairs, public
relations and development.

The 1 6 colleges cooperating in
the program include 14
women's colleges and two
former women's colleges whose
student bodies are still
predominatly women. . The
women's colleges are Agnes

Scott, Cedar Crest, Chatham,
Goucher, Hollins, Mary Baldwin,
Mills, Randolph Macon
Women's, Salem, Scripps,
Sweet Briar, Wells, Wheaton
and Wilson. Elmira and Skid-
more are the two coeducational
colleges.

The administrative interns
must be young women under

graduates, (including the class of
'74), or are completing programs
leading to appropriate advanced
degrees, or are young faculty

Pension
increase

"Shortly after coming to
Agnes Scott College, I became
aware of the generally low level
of retirement benefits received
by our emeritus faculty
members, former colleagues
who had served the college with
distinction and devotion over
many years," said President
Marvin B. Perry, Jr., in a recent
letter to these members.

This situation existed because
of the much lower faculty salary
scales prevailing in earlier years
and because the Connecticut
Mutual retirement plan was not
instituted until 1941 and the
TIAA-CREF plan even later.

The Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees has

The 1974 Agnes Scott

Faculty and Council favor
early semester calendar

by DELLA McMILLAN

At its Jan. 11 meeting the
Faculty, in concurrence with the
previous decision of the
Academic Council, voted that at
this time no . change in the exis-
ting academic quarter system is
advisable. This decision was
made in view of a seven month
study conducted by a specially
appointed committee. The com-
mittee submitted no recommen-
dation regarding a calendar but
endeavored to explore the
feasibility of instituting at Agnes

Scott an alternative calendar
system the early semester.

With an early semester
system, the first of two sessions
is completed before Christmas.
At present some form of the
semester calendar is used by
more institutions than is any
other. Many feel that the
semester lends itself to a less
pressured, in-depth approach to
learning.

In reckoning "feasibility" the
committee recognized the
primacy of the academic
program and standards of the

college. Consideration was also
made of economic and fiscal
operations, faculty teaching
loads, number of faculty, costs of
instruction, course offerings,
and inter-college cooperation in
the Atlanta area.

In an early semester calendar
there are three generally
accepted systems of structuring
curriculum and granting credit:
(1) the traditional semester
curriculum offerings, (2) the unit
system, and (3) the varied-hour
semester.

(Continued on page 4)

Writers' Festival is sponsoring a
writing contest for students
enrolled in public and private
Georgia colleges and
universities. Prize-winning
short stories and poems will be
awarded $25.00 each and be
published in the AURORA, the
Agnes Scott arts magazine.
Winners will be announced at
the third annual Writers' Fes-
tival April 18 and 19 at Agnes
Scott.

The deadline for submitting
manuscripts is Feb. 15, with no
limit on the number of different
short stories and poems sub-
mitted by a contestant.

All entries should be mailed
to: Writing Festival Committee,
Box 990, Agnes Scott College.
All manuscripts must be typed,
double-spaced, on one side of
the paper. Each work should be
accompanied by an envelope
with only the name of the entry
and its classification (poetry, fic-
tion) on the outside. Inside the
sealed envelope should be a card
with the author's name and
institution. If return is desired, a
self -addressed, stamped
envelope of suitable size should
be supplied.

Those wishing to enter both
contests should so indicate on
their entries. To simplify
matters, all Agnes Scott poetry
turned in for either contest will
also be eligible for the Janef
Newman Preston Poetry Award
of $50.00.

Faculty violates
Honor System

During the last exam period, a professor casually inqu.red of a
student picking up an exam, "say, when DO students havetoturn ,n
.xams?" Other professors failed to follow the when, where, and
how of exam procedure through .gnorance or deliberate disregard.
Throughout the quarter, some professors do not bring before Honor
Court those students who plagiarize while others grade tests that are
unpledged or neglect even to check to see whether or not a test is
pledged Many professors do not make clear if work is to be com-
pletely original or if information from outside sources or fellow
students may be sought.

If it is possible for a professor to violate the Honor System, we
believe the above are typical situations. We suggest that ad-
ministration, faculty, and student body reexamine the provisions of
the Honor System. If a regulation is outmoded or unfair, it should be
changed; not ignored.

The cavalier attitude of some professors toward the Honor System
implies a disregard for it that may be infectious. Our system offers
freedom and flexibility; it seems to us broad enough to handle all
circumstances. If the Honor System is not sufficiently flexible, then
it is the obligation of those who notice these flaws to offer
amendments in procedure for the entire campusnot to develop new,
personal systems.

Students or professors who ignore some small regulation of the
Honor System should not think that the "heart" or principle of the
Honor System is left untouched; even a procedural violation is a
violation. Allowed to continue, procedural violations may lead to a
breakdown in the mutual trust between faculty and students that
was once hopefully still is an Agnes Scott tradition.

We propose that the provision that "the grade on any late written
late" be either abolished, followed by all professors, or listed in the
student handbook as falling under the discretion of each professor.
Each professor would then be obligated to announce his or her policy
during the first class meeting of the quarter.

During the quarter, take-home tests should be distributed to
students in sealed, white, legal-sized envelopes. Each test should
state clearly all regulations; these regulations should be explained
by the professor to the class before tests are distributed to provide
students with the opportunity of clarifying all procedural questions
when all members of the class are present.

Further, take-home final exams should be abolished. Firstly, no
need exists for exams with no time limits as some take-home
exams are. Two and a half hours should be all any individual is
expected to work on an exam. If the professor would like the
student to have unlimited thinking time, he or she should an-
nounce a prepared question for the exam. Also, many take-home
exams might just as well be a paper in lieu of an exam. Should the
student body, faculty, and administration decide that our system
is so rigid that it needs the alternative of take-home exams, these
exams should be distributed like take-hometests in sealed, white,
legal-sized envelopes, not in brown exam envelopes.

The entire college must begin now, under the leadership of Honor
Court, to think about the privilege and responsibility inherent in our
Honor System. This winter quarter is thetimeforthought before our
most precious possession decays.

received this letter shortly after
Thanksgiving, which did not
give us time to publish it in the
Nov. 30 issue.)

To the Editor:

The maids of the college were
remembered at Thanksgiving by
the nicest hams. These hams
were given by the students of
C.A.

The maids didn't get to thank
Debbie (Welch) when she
brought them in Wednesday
morning (Nov. 21). They deeply
appreciated the gift and wanted
me to express their thanks.

We all appreciate C.A. so very
much and what it means to the
college and to me personally.
Thank you girls again, God bless
all the fine things you do.

Sincerely,
Dorothy H. Turner
Supt. of Dormitories

To the Editor:

The Board of Student Ac-
tivities, representative of Agnes
Scott students through the ma-
jor boards and various classes,
would like to voice its dis-
satisfaction concerning the
location of the Campus-wide
Christmas Party, Dec. 2, 1973.
Although the party was
successful in Walters
Basement, we felt that it was the
desire of the majority of students
on campus to hold the party in
the library. The reasons given
for the impracticality of using the
library were:

1 . that it would disturb those
students who wished to study;

2. that there were not sufficient
facilities in the library for wash-
ing dishes;

3. that it would impose upon the
library staff in that they would
have to take their time in
preparation for the party;

4. that it would render the
library partially inoperative for
several days before and after the
party since the tables would
have to be moved;

5. that the sockets in the floor in
the main lobby of the library are
considered a hazard.

We feel that these problems
could have been worked out
easily and efficiently by the
members of the Board.
1 It was the purpose of the
Campus-wide Party and the
hope of the Board that all
students would attend this
function. But, for those who did
not wish to attend, there are
various other places on campus
in which they could study for
.these few hours. The library
itself explains its early closing
hours with this same argument.
2. There was no need for any
specific area in which to wash
dishes as all cups and napkins
were paper and very few trays
were used

3 The members of the Board
were more than willing to han-
dle any and all preparations of
the party without imposing on
any member of the library staff

4 The entire Board was present
to begin decorating for the party

at 6:30 p.m. on the designated
night. It took approximately one
hour to complete all decorations
for the party. With the help of
the maintenance staff that we
employed for that evening we
feel that we would have been
able to rearrange the tables and
decorate the library in its en-
tirety just as quickly.
5. It had already been planned
that Spirit Committee would
construct tall candy-striped
poles to cover the floor sockets.

The final overall reason
against holding the party in the
library was that it was not a
proper place for a party. We feel
that the library is one of the
loveliest buildings on campus
and should be known to the
students as not only a place to
work but also as a place to have
fun. There is enough room to ac-
comodate a large number of
people without the feeling of en-
closure, due to the high ceiling
and many windows. The last
two years the party has been
held in the library and we
remember it as one of the
warmest and happiest com-
munity functions we have
known at Scott. In the future we
would like to see the Campus
Christmas Party in the library
become and remain an Agnes
Scott tradition.

(Editor's note: The Profile
received a copy of this letter
from an alumna to Dr. Perry.)

Dr Perry:

As a recent graduate (1972), I
listened avidly to your thoughts
about and plans for Agnes
Scott at the October Young
Atlanta Alumnae Club meeting
I was especially interested to
hear your plans for publicizing

ASC, using the campus in the
summer and involving the alum-
nae more in recruitment, etc.

However, I would like to draw
your attention to an incident
which happened yesterday, in
wnich three alumnae and one
professor and our hus-
bands/wives were offended
enough to make us question the
value of our support to the
college.

Mr. Benjamin Bao of the
French department invited
several couples (consisting of
faculty and alumnae people) to
play touch football on Sunday
afternoon, under the as-
sumption that the athletic field
was reserved for faculty use on
Sundays as usual. When I
arrived with my husband, Mr.
Bao was the only faculty
member among the group, but
said the others had said they
were coming. Also present on
the field was a large group of
students and children from the
Mental Retardation Center hav-
ing a game day. Mr. Bao spoke
with the leader of that group
who said they would not be us-
ing the whole field and that we
could stay, playing at one end.
This was fine with us and ap-
parently with them.

We had been playing for about
five minutes when Ms. Kate
McKemie and Ms. Bertie Bond
drove up and got out to watch.
After another few minutes, Ms.
McKemie walked over to us and
asked one of the husbands to
remove his shoes, since he was
wearing rubber cleats. We
disagreed with her that they tore
up the field, but we said nothing
and he took off the shoes. After
another few minutes, she came
up to me, saying I was the only
one of the group that she
recognized. I introduced her to
Mr. Bao and she proceeded to
tell us that the children's group
had reserved the field through
her, that in our group the guests
outnumbered the ASC people,
that, no, the alumnae did not
count as ASC people, and that if
they allowed this sort of thing,
one ASC person could invite a
whole Georgia Tech fraternity
(God forbid, men at ASC!) to use
the field.

I have no personal vendetta
with Ms. McKemie (and rather
enjoyed her Recreation
Leadership class several years
ago), but I question her or Agnes
Scott's policy, whichever it is, on
the following points:

1 ) that anything but tennis shoes
destroys the field - no one ever
required us to wear tennis shoes
for P E. classes, except on the
tennis courts; also, ASC
students jog and play on the field
out of class, in anything they
happen to want to wear on their
feet and I know of no one's ever
being reproached about it.

2) that ASC alumnae "don't
count" - the exact conversation
after Ms McKenie's statement
that ASC people must out-
number guests was as follows:
Mr. Bao: You mean alumnae

observatory

The Bradley Observatory at
Agnes Scott College will be open
to the public at no charge every
other Wednesday night begin-
ning Jan. 23 from 7:30 to 10. If
the sky is overcast on a
scheduled Wednesday, the
observatory will be closed.

The 30-inch reflecting teles-
cope, which is one of the largest
in the Southeast, will be
placed Jan. 23 for observation of
the comet Kohoutek and the
planets Juprter, Saturn, Mars
and Venus. Smaller telescopes
on the observatory roof will also
be available for viewing the
planets. Dr. George Folsom,
Agnes Scott assistant professor
of physics and astronomy, and
Agnes Scott astronomy students
will manage the telescopes.

paper drive

The campus-wide paper drive
has been going fairly well, so
please don't let it fizzle out. It
will be continued all year with
pick-ups every Wednesday at
2:00 p.m., so please don't forget!

If your hall needs string to
bundle the papers and
magazines (separately), contact
Karen Dick.

And remember! This project
will succeed only if EVERYONE
is concerned, and will be res-
ponsible for themselves, their
hall, and their environment!

at-homes

The Faculty At-Home
Program, this year sponsored by
Spirit Committee, enables
students to get to know their
professors on a more personal
and informal basis by visits
arranged with various profes-
sors to take place on Sundays
this winter quarter.

The program begins Jan. 27.
There will be a sign-up sheet in
the dining hall. It is necessary to
sign up because the number of
students that can attend is
limited, since these get-
togethers are at the homes of the
professors. If you sign up at the
beginning of the week and dis-
cover you cannot attend, take
your name off the list before the
end of the week or you will be
expected to attend. Spirit Com-
mittee wil attempt to find rides

for those gatherings which are
not in walking distance.

Begun last year by Student
Government, the program has
interested many students.

Duran girls

Thirty-seven young women
from Agnes Scott have been
selected to represent the
Masland Duraleather Company

Am. Film Theatre continues

Twentieth-century plays such
as Harold Pinter's "The
Homecoming" and Eugene
lonesco's "Rhinoceros" are be-
ing discussed in public sessions
led by Agnes Scott College
faculty through May 8.

Sponsored by the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association's con-
tinuing education program, the
discussion sessions center on
the American Film Theatre plays
showing in metro-Atlanta movie
theatres. The American Film
Theatre consists of plays written
for stage and transferred to film
by American Express, Inc. in
collaboration with filmmaker Ely
Landau. The plays on film in-
clude the best of Broadway and
London's West End and are
directed and performed by
world-renowned actors and

directors.

The Agnes Scott sponsored
public discussions are held on
Wednesdays following
American Film Theatre
showings on Mondays and
Tuesdays. All sessions are at
7:30 p.m. in the Community
Room of the Decatur Federal
Building on North Druid Hills
Road across from the Toco Hill
Theatre, which shows the
American Film Theatre plays.
Admission is $1.00 each ses-
sion, payable at the door. All
who have read or seen the play
under discussion, whether on
the live stage or on film, are in-
vited to the discussion groups.

The public discussions led by
Agnes Scott professors are as
follows:

Jan. 23. Anton Chekhov's

"Three Sisters" (directed by Sir
Laurence Olivier and acted by
the National Theatre Company
of England forthe American Film

sian, Vladimir Volkoff;
Feb. 6: Simon Gray's "Butley"
discussed by Associate Profes-
sor of English, B. W. Ball;
March 13: Kurt Weill and
Maxwell Anderson's "Lost m th >
Stars" discussed by Assistant
Professor of Speech and
Drama, Elvena Green.
April 10: Eugene lonesco's
"Rhinoceros" discussed by
Professor of French, Virginia
Allen;

May 8: John Osborne's
"Luther" discussed by Assistant

Professor of English, Mark

Siegchrist.

Rules published for Dana

Dana is primarily a building
housing teaching facilities for
the departments of art and
speech and drama. It is
recognized that because of its at-
tractiveness, location and
facilities, it is a desirable place
for other departments and
organizations to hold functions.
It is recognized also as a very
hospitable atmosphere for
guests to the campus.

In order to facilitate decisions
about the use of the building, the
following guidelines have been
formulated by the departments
housed there in conjuction with
the president of the college:

Dalton Galleries

A calendar of the shows to be
hung in the galleries is prepared
for the entire year. Other
functions in the building should
not be held during the Friday and
Saturday when a show is being
put up or taken down.
109 projection room

This room and its equipment
are not available except on
special occasions. Only art
faculty may operate the projec-
tors. Requests should be made
following the procedure outlined
below.

Theater

Evenings

When a play is in rehersal, the
stage and the shop adjacent to it
are in constant use. For the
fourteen (14) days preceding the
play (counted from the dress
rehersal), no requests will be
honored.

The committee will consider
requests for the use of the
theater during the two weeks
prior to the above restricted time
with the possibility of asking the
speech and drama department
and Blackfriars to halt their work
one evening during that span of
time. These requests will be
taken on a "first come, first
served" basis. (The weekend in-
cluding Friday are easiest times
to the the theater available.)
Daytime

The theater is a classroom for
courses taught in the speech

and drama department. As any
teacher recognizes, it is difficult
to pick up and move a class from
the location developed with aids
for that particular course.
However, the department is will-
ing for the Committee on the Use
of Dana to consider requests for
class hours with the understan-
ding that each request will be
considered also by the instructor
in terms of the class needs for
the specific day.

Chapel

Requests for chapel time
should be submitted at least two
weeks prior to the date desired
so that the committee may meet
and reach a decision in time for
the program to be listed on the
weekly calendar

Green Room

Requests for the use of this
room will be considered depen-
ding on planned activities of
Blackfriars and the speech and
drama department.

Classrooms

Assignment of these rooms is
made by the Assistant Dean of

the Faculty. Specific requests
should be submitted directly to
her.

Social Functions

The person requesting a
social function in the building
(held in the area of the galleries
behind the circular stairs) is res-
ponsible for the following
arrangements:

1. being sure thatallfurniture
moved from seminar rooms,
etc. is back in place for its
scheduled function for the next
day.

z. completing cleanup of the
of the kitchen and reception area
(used cups, etc. are not to be left
overnight.) The employees
working in Dana have their own
duties in connection with the
building and are not expected to
provide clean up for extra social
functions.

3. securing extra janitor and
maid help from the Business Of-
fice. The organization spon-
soring the event is responsible
for paying these extra em-
ployees.

(Continued on page 4)

THE PROFILE/January 18, 1974

Europe scoured for future Scotties

by PATTY PEARSON

Ann Rivers Thompson, new
Director of Admissions, was one
of 36 college representatives
who travelled to England,
France, Italy, Greece, Belgium,
Germany, and Switzerland, Nov.
3-19 She visited various high
schools and preparatory schools
introducing Agnes Scott to
overseas students and provided
information about Agnes Scott
to those interested.

The representatives
concerned themselves mainly
with students of American
parentage. These students were
mostly located near large
American armed force bases as
in Heidelburg, Germany; large
American -corporations, such as
DuPont in Geneva, Switzerland;
and cities where there are many
Americans in foreign service,
such as London.

Mrs. Thompson cannot tell at
this point how many applicants
Scott will receive from this
particular trip, but she felt that

the greatest benefit was the
large exposure that Scott got
through the slide show and from
the booklett prepared and com-
piled bvy all the schools for this
trip.

In speaking to representatives
from schools who had gone on
the trip last year, Mrs. Thompson
discovered that there was a
greater student response to
those schools the following year.

The general format of the
program that thge represen-
tatives gave to each shcool was
that of a typical college day.
They presented the slide show at
nights and the following day
they talked to the students.

"I was very pleased with the
general response I felt we got,"
said Mrs. Thompson. Many
people had never heard of Agnes
Scott. Many of the interested
students were impressed with
the fact that Scott is located in
vtlanta area Some students
were concerned about the
tuition; however, Mrs.

academic calendar

(Continued from page 1

The committee decided that
the traditional 15-week
semester limited curriculum
offerings and was too bulky to
accomodate before Christmas
and to coordinate with other
Atlanta area colleges' quarter
calendars.

The committee's inquiry
revealed, however, that a 1 3 or
14-week semester plus an
examination period could be ac-
comodated with relative ease at
Agnes Scott. A 14-week
semester could be fit in prior to
Christmas, the structure would
not alter the present method of
paying fees and board, and there
would be no increase in cost to
the college since students will
actually be in residence a
somewhat shorter period than
now (except for those students
taking courses at other colleges).

If the fall session were begun
in early September, when Emory
and Georgia Tech are closed, the
committee saw that certain ad-
justments would need to be
made in order to accomodate
exchange students and other ac-
tivities Social orientation would
of necessity be postponed, but
this was discounted by an early
academic orientation and two
weeks for the student to adjust
to academic work.

In view of plans now pending
to encourage exchange of
students with other colleges in
the area (all of which use the
quarter-system calendar), spr-
ing semester could be adjusted
to the other colleges' winter and
spring quarters by having spring
vacation coincide with their
break between quarters.
Arrangements would be made
for Scott students who would
have to stay on campus beyond
closing in order to complete
courses at other colleges.
This proposed calendar for the
spring semester would also ac-
comodate students who transfer
after one semester or one
quarter at another college

The committee then studied
the various systems of
curriculum structure. They dis-
cussed the UNIT SYSTEM in
which every course in the
curriculum is taught the
equivalent of 4 hours per week
for 1 unit credit and the student
takes an average of 4 units a
semester. The system was
evaluated by the departments
and although generally quite
popular because of its simplicity,
it was dismissed as too rigid for
some of them to use without
reducing curriculum or raising
faculty load.

The committee then turned to
the study of a more flexible
system which might alleviate
the problems found in the unit
systemthe VARIED HOUR
SEMESTER SYSTEM. Under
this system, courses carry 1 -, 2-,
3-, or 4- (in a few instances 5, 8,
or 1 0) semester hours credit ac-
cording to the number of hours
of class meetings per week dur-
ing the 14-hour semester.
Under this system the 8 weeks of
the student teaching and the
legislative programs could be
followed by several short
concentrated semester courses
in various fields in or related to
the student's major

In order to reduce the teaching
load the semester system would
place on departmental faculty,
cuts in the number of sections
would have to be made in places
that could afford them. Under
the varied hour semester system
it seems that no faculty member
would teach more than 3
courses or have more than 3
preparations each semester.

After studying these various
alternative early semester
calendars the committee con-
cluded that

1 The committee believes that
an early semester calendar is
feasible for Agnes Scott 2.
Under an early semester calen-
dar, the committee believes that
the varied hour system is the
preferable system to follow

Thompson pointed out that
Frankfurt International School (u
private preparatory school hav-
ing a high academic standard)
costs the equivalent of $6400 a
year for strictly tuition, room,
and board (no extracurricular ac-

tivities included). Also, there
was the stigma, as Mrs.

Thompson put it, "about the
southern girls' school which we
would like to call a women's
college." Many thought Agnes
Scott is as it was 15 years ago

and were surprised to discover
differently.

Some of the other schools
rerpesented were: University of
Denver, University of Miami,
Fincher, Randolph-Macon,
Hollins, LaFayette, and
University of the Pacific.

Ms. McKemie: No.
3) that no sensitivity was shown,
even if these guest-and-use
rules are in effect, in that we had
already arranged with the other
group to stay out of their way.

4) that having guests use the
field is somehow destructive to
the ASC athletic program - of
course, school functions should
have precedence, but is this
selfish isolation necessary?

interest in administration in
higher education. A committee
here at Agnes Scott wi II select
up to three nominees from
among Agnes Scott graduates
who make application. Can-
didates, nominated by the 16
colleges, will be screened by the
program coordinator at Cedar
Crest College and selected by a
5-member advisory board com-
posed of the presidents of the
participating colleges.

In the 1 0-month program, one
or two graduates from each
institution will be assigned,
following a two-week workshop,
to work directly with a senior ad-
ministrator at a cooperating
college, and will undertake
special projects to broaden their
understanding of issues in
college management. Each
intern will receive a stipend of
$6,875 for the 1 0-month period,
of which the college will pay
half.

As part of the internship plan,
a placement service will provide
guidance and assistance to
interns as they seek positions or
further training. In addition, the
interns will be listed on profes-
sional rosters and their
availability advertised in ap-
propriate academic media.

Cedar Crest College, Allen-
town, Pa., will administerthead-
ministrative internship program
for the 16 colleges and is
designated recipient of the

Agnes Scott (among 24 other
colleges) has also received a
grant of $250,000 to be matched
by the College for four Dana
professorships within three
years. The terms allow complete
freedom to choose any full
professors from any field. A
Dana professorship does not
have to remain with one person,
thus adding to the flexibility of
the program. Dean of Faculty
Julia T. Gary and others will help
Dr. Perry choose the recipients.
It is hoped that one or more Dana
professors will be named by next
year, though not all will be
named at once.

Income from this endowment
will be used to supplement the
four chairs and will help to raise
the level of faculty salaries. The
as yet unfilled Wallace M. Alston
chair in Bible and Religion will
bring thetotal of endowed chairs
at Agnes Scott to nine.

Other contributions totalling
half a million dollars have been
made as follows: $50,000 for
biological equipment; $200,000
for campus improvements and
purchase of surroknding
property, both from anonymous
foundations; and several con-
tributions toward renovation of
the library.

Napier to speak

(Continued from page 1)

Chapel time that afternoon, he
will speak "On the Time and the
Person" in Maclean. The faculty
is invited to meet Dr. Napier in
the home of Dr. Perry for dessert
at 7:30 in the evening.

"On Brubeck and the
Beatitudes" will be the topic
presented Tuesday in Maclean
during Chapel time. Between
2 30-5:00 that afternoon, he will
be available for individual and
group conferences in Walters
basement In the evening at
7 30. a panel discussion is
scheduled to be held in the

Rebekah Reception Room.
Members of the panel will in-
clude three Agnes Scott
students as well as the guest
speaker. The students will be in-
vited at that time to make any
comments or to ask any ques-
tions concerning any of Dr

On Wednesday, January 23,
Dr Napier will speak during con-
vocation "On Unamuno, Wis-

support and further this.
However, I and my husband and
the other alumnae will not sup-
port arbitrary rules and being
made to feel we are not im-
portant to the college. Granted,
the money the few of us will
have to give ASC in the next few
years will not be substantial, but
our verbal and moral support, as
well as our influence on other
alumnae, hopefully will cause
some investigation into these
policies. (I myself could pass this
on to my mother, aunt, cousin,
sister, three close friends and 2
co-workers who are all alumnae
or students.) If this were the only
insult I had received, perhaps I
would be more calm about it, but
there have been other things.
People at ASC can be so caring
and go beyond duty to help a
student, while at other times,
the pettiest things are brought
up for reasons that just seem
illogical.

Thank you for hearing my
complaints. I am very pleased
with where you feel ASC will be
going and hope this will maybe
further that a little.

Sincerely,

Nancy Weaver Willson, '72

Agnes Scott. The minimum will
be$5.00 per month per year of

College will add to each
emeritus professor's monthly

necessary to reach this level.

For example, if a professor had
taught forty years at Agnes Scott
but is receiving today only
$100.00 per month from the
College, Agnes Scott will add
another $100.00 per month to
bring the monthly total to
$200.00 All of these payments

scholarship available

BY EVA GANTT

Try-outs will be held on Mon.
and Tues., Feb. 4 and 5, for three
student-directed one-act plays
to be presented by Blackf riars on
Fri., Mar. 8.

Nine women's parts, seven
men's parts, and two walk-ons
are included in the three produc-
tions. Freshmen are reminded
that they may try out for these
plays.

Martha Howard will direct
Queens of France, by Thornton
Wilder; Liz Lee directs Ray Brad-
bury's The Veldt; and Becky
Miller directs Times Square, by
Leonard Melfi.

Queens of France, which has
three female parts, one male
part, and two walk-ons, is set in
New Orleans in 1869. An
unscrupulous lawyer tries to
convince each of several women
that she is the sole heir to the
French throne. He takes money
from these women to pay for his
"research" into their family his-
tories.

Two women and three men
will be cast in The Veldt, a
futuristic play about a highly
mechanized world. One of the
female rolescallsfor a young girl
in her teens; this part, like the
other women's roles, will be cast
from among Agnes Scott
students. The play, which calls
for many special sound and
lighting effects, deals with the
consequences of allowing
people almost to become
machines.

ASC keeps warm
despite fuel crisis

BY SUSAN BALCH

One of the most essential
elements of the Agnes Scott
community is hardly ever
noticed by the faculty and
students. Several red brick
buildings and a tower with ASC
lettered on it are located on the
south side of Dougherty Street.
These are service buildings and
include a carpentry shop, the
laundry, and the heating plant.

The heating plant furnishes
steam heat and hot water for the
entire campus through pipes
which run through a tunnel

Tech-ASC
glee clubs
to sing

Once again the Georgia Tech
Glee Club joins Agnes Scott's
Glee Club for an evening ... or
two ... of popular music. At 8:1 5
p.m. on Feb. 3, the glee clubs will
unite for a concert which will be
repeated at Tech's Student
Center on Feb. 5 i(8:15 p.m.).

Among the numbers to be
jointly performed are the theme
song from Cabaret, "Walk Him
Up the Stairs" from Purlie, and
selections from The Music
Man. Each group will also
perform some songs singly.

Agnes Scott's portion of the
program includes "Up, Up, and
Away," and two folk ballads.
Tech's repertoire includes two
Bacharach favorites.

A reception sponsored by Arts
Council will be held afterwards
in the Hub.

under Dougherty. Water is piped
through one of two large boilers,
kept in operation at all times.
The steam is used to heat water,
stored in a large tank. Copper
tubing in the tank channels
steam from the boilers through
the water, which is replaced as
quickly as it is used. Normally,
the boilers burn natural gas, but
when the temperature drops to
near freezing, the gas company
calls the college and asks that a
switch be made to another fuel.
This is due to an increase in
demand by individual
homeowners for the natural gas.

The red brick building is a
smoke stack, now non-
functional because the college
changed from burning coal to
burning oil, stored in two 20,000
gallon tanks, as a reserve heat-
ing fuel. The switch from oil to
coal in 1969 was made for
several reasons. Oil is cleaner
and requires less work; the coal
had to be stoked, etc. Also, the
school needed new boilers and it
seemed to be a good time to
make a change. The current dif-
ficulty in obtaining oil was not
anticipated at that time.

Heating the college buildings
is done in a way to conserve as
much fuel as possible. When the
outside temperature drops to 55
or 60 degrees, valves are opened
which channel steam through
the pipes in the tunnel toeach of
the campus buildings. The heat
is usually cut off at night from 1 1
p.m. until around4a.m. unless it
is an exceptionally cold night.
This is done not only to conserve
fuel, but also to keep the
buildings from becoming
overheated.

THE PROFILE/February 1. 1974

Culture jock

Have you ever noticed the size of the audience at cultural
events at Agnes Scott? Famous or controversial figures usually
draw a crowd, but consider less well-known or local attractions.
Never having heard of someone is all the more reason to find out
who they are. And people near by may be influencing your life
more than you know.

Every year every quarter, in fact, there are a number of good
lectures, plays, concerts, recitals, and art shows, not to mention
other informative discussions and presentations. And though
they appear to be free, they aren't. Like your food, they've already
been paid for. So you really aren't getting your money's worth if
you don't take advantage of them.

Money is not the point, however. By not making use of such op-
portunites to broaden your mind, you are cheating yourself out of
an invaluable part of the education you came here to get. "Book-
learning" isn't everything if you don't know this by now, it's time
you found out. It isn't always easy to take time from studying,
especially when you're involved in other activites as well.

But the time you take out from studying to attend a lecture,
concert, or whatever is much more valuable than the same time
spent doing something routine. Think of an event as a welcome
break rather than an interruption of what is strictly "necessary."

In the last few years Agnes Scott has started its own special
programs. The Writers' Festival and the Environmental
Symposium would fold without student support and interest.
These are not things which move from place toplace it'sall upto
us.

You'll always remember significant cultural events from your
college days, but you'll never be able to remember why you
missed the ones you did.

TO THE EDITOR

I would like to call your atten-
tion to a very misleading and
inaccurate headline which
appeared on the front page of
The Profile, January 18, 1974.
The headline reads "Faculty and
Council Favor Early Semester
Calendar." Neither the faculty
nor the Academic Council took
any vote favoring the early
semester calendar; neither body
expressed majority sentiment in
favor of the early semester
calendar.

In the body of the article, too,
there is an inaccurate
statement. The statement is
"the faculty, in concurrence
with the previous decision of the
Academic Council, voted that at

this time no change in the exis-
ting academic quarter system is
advisable." As of January 21,
1 974, no final decision has been
reached. The Academic Council,
on January 7, adopted a motion
as follows: "It is the sentiment
of the Academic Council that no
change in the academic calen-
dar is advisable at this time."
The faculty, at its meeting on
January 11, passed a similar
motion. The Academic Council
expressed strong sentiment and
sent the most recent committee
report to the faculty. A final vote
is yet to be taken.

I do not know where the
author of the article on the
calendar obtained her in-
formation. It came neither from

the President nor from me, as
Secretary of the Faculty. I am
glad to see The Profile covering
events and actions which are
important to the campus. I urge,
however, that individuals writ-
ing articles obtain accurate in-
formation before presenting a
statement to the College at
large.

Sincerely yours,
Julia T. Gary
Dean of the Faculty

(Editor's note: The Profile
regrets the errors. We will try
to be more careful, and hope
that mistakes will continue to
be brought to our attention
when they do occur.)

TO THE EDITOR:

Dirt, turf, or Astroturf that is
the question! If we can't have
Astroturf, let us have turf. With
this slogan in mind, I press
forward to respond to the letter
from Ms. Willson '72 in the
recent issue of the Profile. I am,
of course, concerned that an
alumna feels that she has been
treated unfairly. Frankly, I would
like to be in a position of en-
couraging physical activity by
our alumnae, rather than dis-
couraging it.

The athletic field is a class-
room facility for the instruc-
tional and intramural programs
of the physical education
department. As chairman of the
department, I feel a res-
ponsibility to see that the field is
kept in the best possible con-
dition for our programs. Safety

is a factor as well as instruction.
In addition, the athletic field is
used as a recreational area, and
it has been necessary in the last
few years to establish a policy
concerning its use.

The policy is designed
primarily to preserve the field
before and during the hockey
season. A copy of the policy was
sent by Dr. Perry to all Agnes
Scott faculty and staff members,
(and I'm attaching a copy for your
information). In essence, the
policy gives priority to the
students and minimizes possible
damage to the field.

In the incident to which Ms.
Willson referred, the field had
been reserved by students for
recreation with children from
the Mental Retardation Center. I
tried to explain to Ms. Willson,

Mr. Bao, and their guests that it
did not seem wise for both
groups to use the field. I further
stated that the one facility could
not accommodate the programs
of the college, plus provide a
recreational area for the 600
students and their guests; 150
members of the faculty and staff,
their families and guests; and
2000 Atlanta area alumnae,
their families and guests.

I shall be most happy totry and
clear misunderstandings which
any of your readers may have
pertaining to the policy or to the
incident.

Sincerely,
Kate McKemie,
Chairman Physical
Education Department

Policy for athletic field
clarified and explained

Here follows the policy from
Dr. Perry concerning the use of
the athletic field mentioned in
the above letter from Miss
McKemie.

In response to a number of in-
quiries from faculty and staff,
and in cooperation with the
Department of Physical
Education, I am glad to set down
the following policy which will
govern use of the Agnes Scott
playing field by members of the
faculty and staff until further
notice:

1 Agnes Scott students and
their guests have first priority in
the use of the field at any time.

2. During the fall quarter,
faculty and staff and their
families and guests may use the
field for group activities on Sun-
day afternoons, normally from
2:00 until 5:00 p. m During the
winter and spring quarters, the
field may be used for group ac-
tivities at any time when not by
studnets or undergoing neces-
sary maintenance.

3. Every effort should be made
to see that ordinarily guests do

not outnumber Agnes Scott
participants involved in the ac-
tivity. In every case a member of
the Agnes Scott faculty or staff
should be present with hisor her
guests.

4. Only tennis shoes may be
worn on the field; no cleats
(metal or rubber) and no street
shoes are permitted.

5. The physical education
staff reserves the right to make a
decision on whether the field is

too wet for play and will ap-
preciate notification of
arrangements which you make
regarding the use of the field.

Since Agnes Scott has only
one outdoor athletic field at the
present time, it is necessary that
we take pains to keep it in first
class condition and, while
welcoming guests of faculty and
staff, to see that Agnes Scott
students have priority in its use
at any time.

'Exorcist' is pick
of bad movies

BY FRANCES WICKES

Upon deciding to become a
full-fledged film critic, my movie
fanatic's heart was filled with
unbounded dedication and a
sense of sheer power. However,
upon surveying the selection of
cinematic achievements that I
could either tear to shreds or
laud as passable (if not excep-
tional) entertainment, my naive
enthusiasm was squelched by

one heartbreaking realization.
Every film, whether a revival or a
recent offering, has at least one
of these three disadvantages:

1) It's inaccessible to many
movie-goers under 18 because
of its rating.

2) It's too expensive
(sometimes as much as $3.00
even at matinees).

"Auld Lang Syne"
Malaysian style

BY LILY CHAN

Chimo is the international
students group on campus.
The members are foreign
students and interested
American students. We have
activities with international
student groups in the Atlanta
area. Anyone who is interested
in joining Chimo is welcomed.

This is the first of a series of
articles by Chimo members.

Malaysia is an independent,
young, developing nation in
South East Asia. There are three
main racial groups in Malaysia:
the Malays, forming about 40
percent of the population, the
Chinese about 33 percent, and
the Indians and others (Borneo
people) comprising the rest of
the population. The national
language is Malay (Bahasa
Malaysia) and Islam is the
national religion. However, the
Chinese are still mainly Bud-
dhist-Taoists, and the Indians,
Hindus.

Because each group still
retains so much of its own
culture and heritage, various
festivals are celebrated
throughout the country. One of
the most important festivals to
be celebrated this month is the
Chinese New Year Festival.
January 23, 1 974 is the first day
of the Chinese calendar ac-
cording to the Chinese zodiac,
1 974 is the year of the tiger.

The festival normally lasts for
three weeks. A day is devoted to
cleaning the house; this is a pro-
ject undertaken by all members
in the family. New clothing,
shoes, etc. are bought or made;
several kinds of cakes are made,
and at the same time the various
gods and deities are honored.

The evening of the last day of the
Chinese calendar is entirely
devoted to the family. All
members of the family make an
effort to come home for the an-
nual steamboat dinner no matter
how far away they live and work.
The New Year is greeted at mid-
night by praying to the gods and
by firing fireworks and
firecrackers. The next morning,
visits are made to relatives;
everyone is dressed in his best
clothing; children receive red
packets containing money. This
continues for fifteen days.

The last day of the festival is
mainly celebrated by the Hok-
kiens. In the older days, this was
the night when the respectable
young women would appear in
public. They would often stroll
by the beach and river banks and
would throw oranges into the
water, for it is the wish of every
single woman to marry a good
husband. This is not practiced
now, but public parks are filled
with young people on this night.

Take sentimental journey
into 40's at winter dance

"A Sentimental Journey into

Hellenic Center Sat., Feb. 9 from

9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The dance
features a '40's theme and
music by the Dean Hudson

German summer
details provided

BY JOYCE McKEE

The Agnes Scott German
students who will be spending
the summer in Europe will leave
from Philadelphia on June 23
aboard a Pan-Am charter flight.
The flight will land in Cologne;
the American Association of
Teachers of German is holding
its annual convention in Bonn,
and the students are making use
of their flight plans.

Two return dates are planned:
for those students who
participate in the program only,
Aug. 1 1; and Aug. 28 for those
students who wish time to spend
in Europe.

Agnes Scott students will be
spending the first six weeks of
the program studying at Philips
University in Marburg. They will
be quartered in private housing
in the city itself. Living in
German homes will give the
students another opportunity to

learn about German life.
Students will receive a daily
allowance for food based on
costs of meals in the Mensa, the
student dining hall at the
University.

Students will take 7-8 day trip
following their stay in Marburg.
The tentative itinerary includes
Berlin, Dresden and Prague.
Students may then either return
to the United States or remain in
Europe until Aug. 28.

Fourteen students are plan-
ning to make the trip, but as
many as twenty may be ac-
commodated. The total cost of
the trip, including air fare from
Philadelphia to Europe, the
seven-week program, and a
daily meal allowance, is $1 1 50.
Students who are interested
should contact Mr. Bicknese,
chairman of the German
Department.

Orchestra. It will be followed by
an optional breakfast.

The first winter quarter dance
to be sponsored by Social
Council in several years, it will
be casual and guests are en-
couraged to dress according to
'40's styles.

The Dean Hudson Orchestra
will present dance music made
popular by the Andrews Sisters,
Glenn Miller, and other stars of
the period. The band has played
for '40's revival parties at the
University of Virginia, University
of Florida, University of
Alabama, and Emory.

The Hellenic Center will be
decorated in the '40's style; it is
located at 2124 Cheshire Bridge
Road. Tickets for the dance will
go on sale Wed, Jan. 24 and can
be purchased in the cafeteria or
from a Social Council member
until the day of the dance. The
cost will be $3.50 percouple. An
open bar will be available and
drink tickets will be sold for
$1 00.

Immediately following the
dance, there will be an optional
smorgasbord breakfast of ham,
eggs, sausage, danish pastry,
coffee, and juice. The breakfast
will also be at the Hellenic
Center; the cost will be $2.50 per
person.

Student sees ERA no
help to employment

BY ANGELYNN McGUFF
(Editor's note: Opinions
expressed in the PROFILE are
those of the author only).
Disagreement with anything is
welcomed and encouraged.)

Many women who support the
so-called Equal Rights
Amendment believe that the
amendment means "equal pay
for equal work" or other em-
ployment goals. But when
Congresswoman Martha Grif-
fiths debated Phyllis Schlafly on
the Lou Gordon television show,
Mrs. Schlafly said that ERA
would do absolutely nothing for
women in the field of em-
ployment. Mrs. Griffiths res-
ponded, "I never said it would."
Coming from a knowledgeable,
adamant backer of ERA, this
statement is quite an admission.

Phyllis Schlafly has testified at
twelve state legislative
hearings; not a single pro-ERA
lawyer stated that ERA would in
any way help women in em-
ployment. The Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Act of
1972 already guarantees
women everything in the em-
ployment field which legislation
can do. This law deals
specifically with hiring, pay, and
promotions. Any woman who
feels herself discriminated

against can file her claim with
the government, which will pay
all court costs. The Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Com-
mission recently forced AT & T to
Day $38 million, proving that the
legislative machinery is fully
adequate.

If women are still dis-

criminated against in the em-
ployment field (as they may
sometimes be), the need is to en-
force existing laws, not to make
new ones. Those of us who
believe strongly in free
enterprise may question
government's right to say whom
shall hire whom in a free society.

Old buildings not
to come down

In answer to rumors that
certain cottages and older dorms
may be torn down in the near
future, President Perry replied in
the informal convocation Jan.
1 6 that there is no intention now
of doing so, but that "the college
must retain the right to take
down those not feasible to main-
tain."

According to Dr. Perry, Sturgis
and Hardeman Cottages are
"least defensible to maintain,"
but there are "no immediate
plans for demolition." The
college owns a number of
houses near the campus which
could be used for cottages

whenever such demolition took
place. Thus the college may use
different buildings, but the same
system. Summer rental of cot-
tages to students is possible, but
there has been no official
decision yet.

Contrary to popular belief,
there are no plans to tear down
Main or Rebekah The Hub may
be taken down in the
"forseeable future," but not un-
til a new student center has
been built. Until then, sugges-
tions are welcomed for im-
provement of the present
facility.

Dylan 's

BY MARENE EMANUEL

The Omni was quiet. The
silence was only occasionally
broken by the mad scramble to
retrieve a hurled frisbee, or
repeated shouted requests to
begin the show. Suddenly the
lights dimmed, and out onto the
stage walked six of the most
legendary musicians of our time.
Bob Dylan and The Band. The
sell-out crowd cheered its ap-
proval and sat in awe through
the succeeding two hours.

It was a long-awaited return
for Dylan the prophet and
spokesman of the sixties who
began a new era in pop music
After an eight-year absence,

training is needed.

This should not be considered
to be like a Junior Year Abroad:
it is not geared to Agnes Scott's
academic program here or with
universities abroad. The
purpose is to be an "am-
bassador" while getting
personal and academic
enrichment American
graduate schools would not
necessarily accept credit from
this program (neither will Agnes
Scott).

Those interested should see
Dean Jones. She will forward
names to the Atlanta club, which
will send application forms to
those students.

Unfortunately, quite a large
percentage of contemporary
movies can claim all three of
these conditions

Unwilling to dish out three
bucks to see the questionable
Woody Allen in Sleeper, I made
my unmerry way to The
Exorcist.

Surprisingly, I found it fas-
cinating to see a young child
become possessed by the devil.
It is not merely a story; it is a
documentary The film is based
upon an actual exorcism that
took place in Washington many
years ago The religious
exorcism highlights the film by
revealing the priests' frantic, as
well as hypnotic techniques

As good a film asThe Exorcist
is, it only emphasizes more the
industry's decline Hollywood's
general inability to make a solid
original story into a viewable
movie forces it to depend on a
factual situation for one success

current production

Heating the cottages presents
a special problem. The buildings

Come grow with our bank!

We're C&S, the second fastest growing major bank in the country. And we plan
to quadruple in size during this decade. We're the kind of bank that early over-
came the stuffy, conservative image held by banks in general. The reason for
the difference is the kind of people who've built C&S: a new breed of bankers
who had the imagination to think of new things to do, new ways to do the old
things, and the courage to try them.

But what does all of this have to do with you? Perhaps a lot- if you choose to

That Subtile Wreath, known
as the "Donne book," has
arrived and is on sale in the
bookstore.

The book contains the lectures
presented at the
Quatercentenary Celebration of
the Birth of John Donne held at
Agnes Scott in 1972.

As Mrs. Pepperdene, editor of
the book remarked, each event
was uniquely concerned with

Agnes Scott. From the welcome
by Dr. Alston introducing the lec-
tures which honor Dr. McCain, a
past president of Agnes Scott, to
the concluding music program
planned by Miss Trotter which
featured 1 7th centruy songs
performed by Sally Martin, Class
of '72, Agnes Scott students and
faculty were connected with the
celebration.

Erin Sherman, Class of '73,
had done the drawing of Donne

on the sleeve and frontispiece of
the book. Mr. Manley, from
Emory, began his lecture by
mentioning George Hayes, a
retired Agnes Scott English
professor and long-time
chairman of the English
Pepartment. The final lecture
was given by Mrs. Pinka, as-
sistant professor of English at
Agnes Scott.

Mrs. Pepperdene stated that
the Agnes Scott students'
"capacity to enjoy and
eagerness to learn" made the
celebration unique and "perfect
in tone." This spirit, she
remarked, "is caught in the
book" the first book that
Agnes Scott has published.

Cottages must be
filled in 1974-75

In the past several months
Interdormitory Council has dis-
cussed the problems and op-
portunities of living in and main-
taining the cottages. Members
of Interdorm, the residentsof the
five cottages, and members of
the college administration have
shared their opinions,
experiences, and res-
ponsibilities as they relate to
utilizing the cottages as student
residences. The following
decisions have been made

by DELLA McMILLAN

Through the efforts of the
Alumnae Career Advisory Com-
mittee, the Career Planning of-
fice and Dana Scholars,
students will be afforded a
chance to explore various career
opportunities by "shadowing"
former Scotties on the job.

Commenting on the success
of shadow programs at
Swarthmore and other schools,
lone Murphy of the Career Plan-
ning office cited the program's
rare opportunity for students to
explore various fields. The
Alumnae Advisory Committee
voiced its wholehearted support

for the scheme. Chairwoman
Adelaidie Beall is working
closely with Miss Murphy and
Dana Scholars in sounding out
student interests and alumnae
resources.

Alumnae offers to sponsor
students have just begun to
come in. Enthusiastic offers
already provide opportunities in
such varied fields as public
relations, real estate, social
work, and university teaching in
law. Miss Murphy stated that
she is also aware of non-alum-
nae sources that offer op-
portunities.

Hesse exhibit to

by ANN FINCHER

An exhibit on Hermann Hesse
will open in the McCain Library
at 5:30 p.m., Tues., Feb. 12.
Gunther Bicknese, Chairman of
the Agnes Scott German
Department, will deliver in-
troductory remarks at the open-
ing ceremony. German Consul
General Roland Gottlieb will be
present at the ceremony and will
present book awards to outstan-
ding students of German.

The exhibit, currently on dis-
play at the University of
Northern Illinois, comes to
Agnes Scott from Goethe House
in New York, a branch of the
Goethe Institute in Munich. The
display is chiefly pictorial and in-
cludes biographical information
about Hesse, samples of his
handwriting, pen and pencil
drawings, book cover designs for
(continued on page 4)

regarding the use of cottages in
1974-75.

In view of the fact that they are
not filled to capacity, the cost per
occupant is high, and at least
one cottage is in need of exten-
sive repair, Hardeman and
Sturgis will not be used in 1 974-
75.

Bowen, Gaines, and McCain
may be used for student housing
next year, provided they are
filled more nearly to capacity. In
order for cottages to be more
economically operated, oc-
cupancy of each will be required
to fall within a specific range
Bowen 13-16
Gaines 12-14
McCain 12-14

37-44 occupants
The five cottages are now
housing 45 students, and this is
close to the number required in
three cottages next year (37-44
students). These same threr
buildings now are housing only
23 students, and presumably
their occupancy would increase
by 1 4-21 . Since it is not required
that every bed in a specific
dormitory be filled, it is felt to be
better to work within an oc-
cupancy range for cottages
rather than to require one
arbitrary figure per cottage.

PROFILE/FEBRUARY 8. 1974

Honor System

The topic of discussion during last Wednesday's open con-
vocation was the Honor System here. It was agreed that there is
no distinction between different kinds of honor in the abstract and
that there should not be any between social and academic honor
in practice.

Honor involves both personal and community integrity, but the
honor system at Scott has been weakened by disobedience of
social rules. We still agree that certain practices involving
academics are dishonorable, but we feel little if any guilt over in-
fringement of social regulations with which we do not agree.

Acts which were defined as inherently dishonorable are lying,
cheating, stealing, and breaking one's word. If a code is agreed
upon by the community, then a violation of any part of it is to be
considered dishonorable. Such an argument carries with it an
obligation to uphold that code.

We have no argument with the above definition of what
constitutes dishonorable actions in academic areas. We now
have to decide exactly what social rules need to be changed in
order to reach a consensus as to a satisfactory code. Unlike lying,
cheating, etc., things such as drinking and parietals are not
inherently dishonorable, but since an agreement is involved, the
very breaking of it is.

Decisions concerning acts which are the result of carelessness
and generally unpremeditated rulebreaking should not be han-
dled by the body whose jurisdiction is honor. Revision of the
judicial system is presently under consideration by Rep Council.
The constitutions of Dorm Council, Interdorm, and Honor Court
are being amended in order "to distribute and assign jurisdiction
in a manner appropriate and relevant to the nature of each judicial
body within the Honor System."

Be sure to read the resolution posted on the Rep bulletin board
concerning proposed changes in the judicial structure.

Rules set forth for
gym f tennis courts

The Physical Education
Department invites you to use
the gymnasium and other
recreational facilities insofar as
they are available and according
to the policies which have been
established. Dressing facilities
for men have now been provided
in the locker room. This will
enable the faculty and staff men
to take advantage of op-
portunities for swimming. En-
trance to the men's dressing
area must be through the main
gym and down the back stairs.
Signs will point the way from
there.

The swimming pool is open on
Monday nightsfrom 7:00to8:00
for faculty, staff, and their
families. Children unable to
swim must be accompanied by a
parent. Faculty and staff (men
and women) are invited to join
the students for swimming at
the following times:

Mon. thru. Thur.
4:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Tues. and Thur.
7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The use of the gym for any
groups other than those spon-
sored by the department is not
possible. The building is for the
use of Agnes Scott students who
are encouraged to use the
facility at their leisure, and it is
left open and unsupervised for
that purpose.

To alleviate any
misunderstanding between the
physical education staff,
students and/or husbands,
faculty and staff and their
children, and the security men,
the basketball court and
surrounding area on the first
floor is available to faculty and
staff men and student husbands
at the following times:

Sat. morning
10: to 12:00

Sun. afternoon
1:00 to 3.00

Wed. evenings
7:00 to 9:00

Faculty and staff children may
be accommodated during these
hours with parental supervision.

The tennis courts are also
available to faculty, staff, and
their families, and alumnae,
when not in use by students.
Students have priority when all
courts are filled. Guests are
permitted on the courts only
when playing with any of the
above. A schedule of tennis
classes and tennis club
meetings will be posted on the
faculty bulletin board. The
courts are not available during
these hours. Tennis shoes must
be worn.

7 nation summer sojourn
planned in Bible lands

The Bible Lands have
traditionally been visited by
those interested in the origin of
religion, ancient relics, and the
whole inspirational atmosphere
of the area. Most tours have
always emphasized trips to
Israel and a few excursions to
surrounding historical lands.
This summer there will be a new
and more comprehensive visit
offered to those interested. Mrs.
Mary Samford, an Agnes Scott
alumna and Bible executive for
the Jacksonville High Schools,
has put together a tour of Seven
Bible Lands.

This tour will include trips to
Italy (Rome), Greece (Athens,
Corinth, islands), Iraq (Babylon,
Ur, Reveveh), Lebanon (Tyre,
Sidon), Jordan (Mt. Nebo, Petra),
and Israel (Galilee to Beersheba,
and climb up Mt. Sinai). The
group leaves from New York on
June 27 and will return 22 days
later on July 18. Total cost is
$1498.

Mrs. Samford will serve as
organizer for the tour, which will
include archeological excavat-
ing and stops at such famous
museums as the Acropolis, the
Museum at Corinth, and the
Egyptian Museum at Cairo.

Professional guides will
be provided in every country to
point out matters and places of
interest and to answer ques-
tions.

Dr Paul L Garber, professor
of bible at Agnes Scott, will act
as coordinator for the tour, offer-
ing his travel experience in the
Biblical lands. The tour will be
superior to others offered
because it is more corn-

by MARENE EMANUEL

prehensive; in addition, in Dr.
Garber's words it is planned
specifically "for people who
have similiar interests.''

All interested Scott students
are invited and encouraged to
make the most of this offer. Ac-
cording to Dr. Garber, it will be

an "exceptionally fine
experience for any of our
students interested in Bible,
religion, ancient history. .

Anyone desiring more in-
formation may see Dr. Garber or
check the mailroom bulletin
board for more details.

Awards offered
for playwriting

Special awards for the best
new plays on the subject of the
American Revolution were an-
nounced recently by the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Perform-
ing Arts in connection with its
annual American College
Theatre Festival. The awards
will be given over the next three
years. The program is funded by
the David Library of the
American Revolution.

The library at Washington
Crossing, Pennsylvania, was
founded and endowed by Mr. Sol
Feinstone, and is the most im-
portant private collection in the
country of original manuscripts,
letters and journals of the
American Revolution. The
library is named for Mr.
Feinstone's grandson.

Plays to be eligible for the
awards must be written by
college students and produced
at college theatres as part of the
national festival program Both
writers and the college theatres
will share in the awards. Plays

may be fictional, documentary,
biographical of musical, but
must be based on authentic his-
tory. The first of the prize win-
ning plays will be presented at
the Kennedy Center in April,
1975, on the two hundreth an-
niversary of the battle of
Lexington.

The awards are:

FIRST PRIZE:

Atlanta architecture

"HERE TOMORROW" the current Architecture In Atlanta free
tour program sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects is offering a collaborative exhibition of
architectural student designs and professional models. It will be
held at the Georgia Tech School of Architecture building on Cam-
pus Drive, Sun., Feb. 10 from 2-5 p.m. The public is invited.

Examples from both student and professional creativity will
represent past, present and future architecture applicable to im-
proving visual environment of the Atlanta area.

Since public awareness of the city's good architecture is being
encouraged, this exhibit makes use of the two most embryonic
and interesting avenues of creative design: visualization by /

models and drawings.

Over 1 5 various projects will be exhibited, each to be attended
by an architect or representative familiar with its origin.
There are many unusual exhibits, such as:

Slides from the models of a proposed Atlanta Cyclorama by

Finch Alexander Barnes Rothschild & Paschal and Thompson,

Hancock, Witte & Associates.
A Buckhead area highrise condominium, Canaan House by

John Edward Moultrie, Jr.

"Peachtree Summit" a major downtown complex utilizing
space over the Interstate by Toombs, Amisano and Wells.

A triangular, reflective glass office tower "North X Northwest"
by Thompson, Ventulett & Stainback at I-75 and Windy Hill Road.

An energy crisis inspired home designed for a small family by
James Mount.

A West End-l-20, stepped-back, pyramidal shaped 15 story
"Spirit of Atlanta " Hotel by Mastin Associates and James S. Gray
& Associates.

The "HERE TOMORROW" exhibition name was inspired by a
multi-dimensional painting by Atlanta artist, Corinne
Workmaster, depicting a decrepit little apartment building hold-
ing out against urban growth titled "Here Today." This painting
will be shown with the architectural presentations of designs
and models which portend the future.

Academy Theatre

The Academy Theatre's first company-developed major
production of the 1 973-74 season, Journey to Canaan, will run
from now through Mar. 1 2. Performances will be presented each
Thurs., Fri., and Sat. night at 8:30, and, consistent with new
Academy policy, all admissions will be $1.00.

Journey to Canaan has been created improvisationally by cast
members under the direction of Academy Artistic Director Frank
Wittow. Words and music for the play were written by Martha
and Paul Boesing, playwright-in-residence and composer-in-
residence at the Academy.

As the title suggests, Journey to Canaan is Biblical in concept,
using as a point of departure Moses' leading thechildren of Israel
out of the wilderness. The wilderness, in this instance, receives a
psychological interpretation, and comes to stand for the internal
wilderness of the non-integrated personality, the journey being
the journey toward psychic integration. The theme is stylized,
ritualistic, and relies in large measure upon music for com-
munication of its basic tenets.

Martha and Paul Boesing, an accomplished husband and wife
duo, are among the exciting creative talents presently in
residence at the Academy. Martha holds an MA in English from
the University of Wisconsin and has directed and acted in five
Minneapolis theatres. She has also worked with the Poets'
Theatre in Cambridge, Mass

Composer Paul Boesing is a music and theatre graduate of In-
diana University. A veteran of Joe Chaikin's Open Theatre, Paul
began his acting career in the Academy's Shakespeare Festival in
1959. He has also participated in Peter Brooks' International
Experimental Workshop in London and Paris.

Paul and Martha were associated with the Minneapolis
Firehouse Theatre from 1 965-69. In 1 969 they went on the road,
performing original songs on campuses, in coffeehouses, and in
churches. The talented husband and wife team have collaborated
in the writing of several full-length theatre pieces: The
Wanderer, The Chameleons, and Shadows, A Dream Opera.
The musical Shadows, A Dream Opera played to full houses in
Atlanta last winter and received high acclaim fromcritics such as
Arthur Sainer of The Village Voice. Most recently, Pimp, a play
about women, written by Martha and directed by Paul, premiered
at the Academy.

Previews for Journey to Canaan begin Jan. 24 and will be held
Thurs., Fri, and Sat. nights until opening night Feb. 7. Previews
are open to the public with a $1 admission charge. All
performances are at 8:30 p.m., and reservations are strongly
suggested. To secure reservations, call the Academy Theatre at
261-8550.

Atlantans will have a chance
to see a new work by one of
America's best-known
choreographers when The Paul
Taylor Dance Company presents
American Genesis on Sat.
evening> Feb. 9. The
performance is scheduled for
Symphony Hall, Memorial Arts
Center, at 8:00 p.m.

At its October premiere, the
Philadelphia Daily News called
American Genesis "a brilliant
modern ballet swaggering with
imaginiation and humor."

The work, which was created
in part for the bicentennial,
draws loose parallels between
the Biblical Creation and the
founding of America. The music

For the session starting Fall, 1974
Euromed will assist qualified Amer
ican students in gaining admission
to recognized overseas medical
schools.

And that's just the beginning.

Since the language barrier constitutes
the preponderate difficulty in succeed-
ing at a foreign school, the Euromed
program also includes an intensive
12 week medical and conversational
language course, mandatory for all
students. Five hours daily, 5 days per
week (12-16 weeks) the course is

PROFILE/FEBRUARY 8, 1974

Higher education faces bleak financial future

Many of the nation's colleges
and universities are facing a dif-
ficult financial future.

The Carnegie Commission on
Higher Education surveyed 41
colleges and universities since
1 970 and cound "a new depres-
sion in higher education." A
resurvey two years later in-
dicated a "fragile stability" had
been achieved, but there was no
cause for optimism

Now, according to Earl Cheit,

professor of business ad-
ministration at the University of
California at Berkeley who did
both surveys, "a lot of people are
very, very nervous because in-
flation is much worse."

A number of institutions im-
proved finances in the last two
years by the most extreme
measures: abolishing
departments and research
institutes and, in at least one
case, an entire campus.

Others temporarily solved
their problems by freezing
faculty salaries or failing to fill
staff openings, and by postpon-
ing maintenance and
replacement of equipment and
facilities.

In addition to the cost of higher
education instruction, which the
Committee on Economic
Development says rose at
roughly twice the rate of in-
flation during recent years,

Student Overseas Service
offers summer employment

Luxembourg, Europe, Jan.
, 1 4 There is a new and interes-
ting way around the problem of
scarce student jobs. Any
student between the ages of 1 7
and 27 can obtain a temporary
paying student job in Europe
through a new mail application
systems Jobs, working papers,
room and board arrangements
and other travel documents are
processed in advance.

Standard wages are paid in
addition to the profitable ad
vantage of free room and board
which is provided with each
hotel, resort and restaurant job.
Most jobs are in Switzerland,
France, Austria and parts of
Alpine Germany in ski resorts
during the winter months, and in
lakeside and city resorts, hotels
and restaurants durina the
spring and summer months.

As inflation and unem-

ployment increase, so does the
attraction of a temporary paying
student job in Europe. Recently
wages in Europe not only offset
any dollar devaluation loss, but a
few weeks work in Europe a
personally broadening
experience on its own repays
most of the trip cost. A few more

weeks work earns ample money
for traveling around Europe.
Most jobs do not require
knowledge of a foreign language
(but what an opportunity for
language students!), and
willingness to work, adaptability
and maintenance of an open
mind count more than
experience.

Applications should be sub-
mitted in time to allow for
processing the job, workinq
papers, room and board
arrangements and other travel
documents. Students can cut

enrollments have begun to level
off and have declined on some
campuses.

Colleges under the most
financial pressure tend to be
smaller, less well known and
less prestigious, and depend on
tuition charges for 60 to 90
percent of operating funds.
Many of these are religious or
mainly serve women or
minorities and cannot raise
tuition to a high enough level for
support and, at the same time,
remain competitive with other
institutions, especially public
colleges.

While Ivy League and other
"prestige" schools have not had
declining enrollments, they
must meet the same high costs.
So must the public institutions.

Despite state and local sub-
sidies, which keep a ceiling on
tuitions at taxpayer-supported
schools, public institutions find
it hard to secure expanded or
even constant appropriations
from state legislatures, facing
increased demands on public
funds for other purposes.

Because there was no ad-
vance budgeting for an energy
crisis this winter, those
institutions in difficult financial
straits may not survive higher
fuel costs, decreased corporate
giving and lower return from en-
dowments that may accompany
it.

It is too early to determine the
full effect of the energy crisis on
the nation's campuses. But
Eldon T. Smith, executive as-
sociate of the Association of
American Colleges, says, "It will
touch every facet of higher
education, and add to the
problems of the f inacially stable
as well as those institutions
already in trouble."

special editions of his novels,
and manuscripts.

Hermann Hesse, German
novelist, poet, and painter, has
undergone a renaissance, which
according to Herr Bicknese,
began "about the same time as
the hippie movement about
1966." This renaissance, Herr
Bicknese added, has had more
impact in the United States than
in Germany, where interest in
Hesse's work peaked
immediately after World War II

Herr Bicknese emphasized the
interest in Hesse's work
demonstrated by the young
people of this country and
suggested the probability of the
rock group Steppenwolf's taking
its name from Hesse's novel
Steppenwolf Agnes Scott's
German Department offered a
course dealing with Hesse's
works, and Georgia Tech offers a
Hesse course this quarter.

A reception will follow the
opening ceremony.

The financial crisis may
worsen without more students.

While an estimated 9.5 million
students enrolled in U.S.
colleges and universities this
past September, a decreasing
proportion of high-school
graduates are entering
immediately as freshmen. The
decline is attributed to the en-
ding of the military draft, a disen -
chantment with the value of a
college degreee that cannot
guarantee a job, increased
college attendance costs, and
availability of job training
programs.

This comes at a time when
birth rates are beginning to
decline. Some experimentation
with programs to attract non-
traditional students to some of
the 500,000 spaces on college
campuses this year has begun.
But many instituitions have yet
to find ways to cope with
extraordinarily high fixed costs
of overbuilt facilities and large
faculties the legacy of the
1960's when it was widely as-
sumed that everybody should
have the opportunity to go to
college and that everybody
would want to to.

Approximately 60 percent of
all accedited private four-year
colleges are operating at a
deficit. The estimated annual
dificit of all institutions ranges
as high as $158,000.

Judge for the competition is
Sidney Kingsley, himself a prize-
winning playwright, whose
well-known plays include "The
Patriots," which deals with the
American Revolution. The David
Library offers its full research
facilities to all college
playwrights entering the
competition.

In announcing the awards,
Mr. Feinstone stressed that "the
"plays must be based on
truthful, authentic history. One
of the purposes of the David

surround the founders of our
country, and remind us that they
were very real people as real
as the 30,000,000 immigrants
who came after them and helped
build the country and carry on its
traditions. We think young
writers can help us all rediscover
the drama of the years when our
whole country was young and
we were young in it."

Le Treteau, a French theatrical
troupe, will present in French its
interpretation of lonesco's Le
Roi Se Meurt Mon., Feb. 25 at
8:1 5 p.m. in Presser.

The production is directed by
Jacques Meauclair, well known
and acclaimed director/actor,

queen Marguerite.

Monsieur Vladimir Volkoff,
professor of French and Rus-

Le Roi Se Meurt and his
eagerness to see Le Treteau's
presentation of the play, which
contains elements of both
comedy and tragedy. Monsieur
Volkoff added that lonesco
nearly destroyed traditional
theater with his "nonsense"
plays. Rhinocerous, currently
featured in film by the American
Film Series, falls into this
nonsense category. Monsieur
Volkoff continued that from this
extremely nonsensical writing,

PROFILE/FEBRUARY 22, 1974

What if you don't
trust trustees?

Does it seem to you as if the Board of Trustees is an august body
made up of "The Powers That Be" somewhere up above us peons? It
is true that their word isfinal in many matters, but they're concerned
directly with students also. The Committee on Student Affairs is
making an effort to show this by making its members available to talk
with us in person.

This is an excellent opportunity to meet some of these people you
hear about and occasionally see without knowing exactly who they
are or what they do. It's your chance to go straight to the top, so to
speak. Trustees are not in a position to get much exposure around
here; if you have questions to ask or ideas to express, now is the time
to air them.

Some general things you may want to find out are the kinds of
things trustees must approve and the process by which this is done,
as well as their opinions on specific issues. We tend to get so
wrapped up inourown ideas about such things as parietals and drin-
king on campus that we are apt to lose sight of ourselves as others
see us.

The trustees have the advantage of being close enough to know
the college and have its best interests at heart, yet far enough away
to be objective. They can give us a world s-eye view of Scott, and we
can give them a Scott's-eye view of whatever is on our minds.

I urge everyone to go to the Hub on Tuesday and listen for a while if
nothing else. It's one of a number of things you can do to help close
gaps in communication and maybe even credibility.

TO THE EDITOR:

If we were to read in a foreign
newspaper that Gone With The
Wind, an English film was going
to be shown, how would we
react? Imagine my reaction
when I read in our paper, "The
Green Wall, a Spanish film with
English subtitles will be
shown. . ."

The film is Peruvian, one of the
very few Peruvian films that
have been made. A Peruvian film
is as Spanish as a U.S. film is

English. The mistake was not
due to a misinformation. The
rest of the article shows an
awareness that the film is
Peruvian.

I see the error as a reflection of
a fallacious, often only subtly
expressed concept that many of
us tend to have: We have a
tendency to view all the
American countries where
Spanish is the official language
as comprising a monolithic
"Spanish" culture. How often

have we, personally, made this
error; as when we call someone
from one of these countries
"Spanish"?

Maybe it is time that we
recognize that, in fact, these
countries are independent from
Spain, as well as from each
other in the same sense, that
the U.S. is independent from
England and from English-
speaking Canada.

Ping pong and basketball
tournaments are now in

and Sonata in C Minor, Opus 30,
No. 2. He will also perform Max
Bruch's "Concerto in G Minor,
Opus 26."

The "Romance in F Major,"
together with its companion, the
"Romance in G, Opus 40," is ac-
tually for solo violin with orches-
tral accompaniment. Thus it is
assumed that these short pieces
were used by Beethoven to try
out ideas prior to writing his
great masterpiece the "Concerto

for Violin, Opus 61." This
Romance seems almost operatic
in thematic concept and in echo
effects.

Although the "Sonata in C
Minor" is overshadowed by such
works as the "Spring Sonata"
and the "Kreutzer Sonata," it too
seems to try out ideas, such as
the key and the motive found in
the more famous Fifth
Symphony. Beethoven frequen-
tly reworked or rewrote motives,
or even changed duple to triple
meters to get just the right
feeling. He also felt that certain
keys represented certain colors.

Bruch's melodies have roots
in German-Jewish folk songs.

The Era: Where is it?

"Equality of rights under the
law shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States
or by any state on account of
sex."

By Jo Ann Levine

Staff correspondent of
The Christian Science Monitor

New York

"Turn down, turn around" is
not a new dance step: It is a
political exercise which is mak-
ing the Equal Rights
Amendment big and strong as it
heads toward ratification.

Turned down at first by Mon-
tana, Maine, and Connecticut,
the ERA was ratified when these
states turned around as the
amendment came up a second
time. In Connecticut, for exam-
ple, 1 7 legislators switched their
votes from "No" to "Yes."

"On the original vote, I really
didn't have the information and I
didn't quite understand what the
amendment was intended for
or exactly what it was doing, or
what it was going to ac-
complish," said Rep. Ernest Nic-
kols (R) of Bridgeport, Conn
"During the time between the
first and second vote, I read up
on it."

"This is not only a bill for the
equality of women, but it also
gives certain rights to men,"
decided Sen. William Mathers
(R) from Miles City, Mont

"It was the first time in eight
years that I changed my vote on
the floor," said Senate President
Kenneth P MacLeod (R) of
Brewer, Maine.

Favorable report wins

In Vermont, the amendment
did not get out of committee the
first time, but was ratified last
year after Rep. Paul Graves (R) of
South Burlington, Vt., chairman
of the ERA summer study com-
mittee, changed his opinion and
turned in a favorable report.

"At first I wasn't soldon it," he
said, "I didn't think it was
needed until I heard some of the
testimony: the problems women
have in obtaining credit, getting
jobs, being accepted into
colleges Our state medical
school said they wanted men
because women would get
married, and it was really dif-
ficult for a girl to get into medical
school."

Ohio may follow the same
pattern as Vermont The three
Democratic senators who kept
the bill in committee last year
have this year turned around

Sen. Robert O'Shaughnessy
of Columbus, Ohio was one of
them "A survey done in my dis-
trict by a group of women
primarily from the NOW
organization (National
Organization for Women)
showed that 69.2 percent of the
people who lived in my district
are in favor of the amendment. I
feel that when the people speak,
the least I can do is to listen,'' he
said

Labor endorsement

Legislators are not the only
ones participating in the
turnaround. The 1 3.2-million-
member AFL-CIO, which at first
was negative on the ERA gave
its unanimous endorsement at
its convention last fall.

"The only reason we changed
our minds is that most of the
protective laws in the states
(such as the number of hours a
woman can work at night) were
being invalidated by Title VII of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act," said
Evelyn Dubrow, legislative
representative of the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union (ILGWU).

AFL-CIO spokesman said they
turned around primarily because
of the turnaround by its
members in the ILGWU and the
Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. And in addition, it was
noted that the AFL-CIO was not
comfortable keeping company
with the opponents of the ERA
groups such as the John Birch
Society.

Six more states must ratify
38 are required to add an
amendment to the Constitution
of the United States. While few
believe that the six states will be
added in 1974, few doubt that
they will not be found by 1979.
States such as Wisconsin and
New Mexico are so sure of the
final passage of the ERA that
they already have changed their
state laws to conform.

The year 1975 is set as the
target year for the amendment to
clear 38 states. Common Cause
says that in 1 974, it expects the
ERA to be ratified by Ohio,
Florida, and Louisiana, while it
expects Missouri and Virginia to
vote it down.

In Illinois, the amendment
already has passed the
Legislature by a majority vote,
but there is a three-fifths clause
in Illinois. A court case now is
challenging the constitutionality
of that clause.

Georgia being watched

Georgia, where the ERA was
turned down last month, is seen
bysomeasa case study for those
interested in watching the
turnaround process.

"I think that the men really
feel they are protecting us from
ourselves," said Jean Ca hill,
chairperson of the Georgia Com-
mission on the Status of
Women. "As one legislator put
it, he wanted to keepour women
sweet, precious, and dainty.'
There were 70 votes for the
amendment, but 91 votes are re-
quired for ratification.

At least we know now what
the targets are," she added
"There is more interest in the
ERA now than before the vote.
All of those who have been ac-
tive in the coalition for the pas-
sage of ERA a re suddenly getting
lots of invitations to talk about
ERA "

In Georgia, Jean Cahill said
that just after the ERA was

defeated in her state, the
Legislature "quickly passed a
law which prohibited sex dis-
crimination in the granting of
credit in the state. They thought
that would pacify us. As one
said, I hope this will make the
ladies happy.' They really don't
understand, that's all. We hope
to change this."

Courses will make use of local
museums and teaching
facilities.

There are two trips currently
planned during the program, one
to the north, to the region around
Salamanca, and one to the
south. Other informal
excursions and trips will be
planned by the group once they
arrive. Most weekends will be
free and students can arrange
their own side trips.

Flights are being arranged in
conjunction with a group from
Emory. The group will take off
from New York on June 1 1
Beyond July 30, students are
free for independent travel.
Students may return from Paris
on either August 9 or 29.

Cost for the program is set at
$1250 inclusive of planned
excursions, overseas flights to
Madrid and from Paris, and room
and board.

Two things are expected to happen after the ERA passes: Laws
which are truly beneficial would be extended to protect both sexes;
laws which are truly restrictive and discriminatory would become
null and void, notes one organization working for its passage, the
National Federation of Business and Professional Women (BPW).

"Despite progress in recent years, persistent patterns of sex dis-
crimination continue to permeate our national life," notes the BPW.
"Changing each specific law would mean hundreds of court cases,
hundreds of dollars, hundreds of years."

In 1 971 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down any law which dis-
criminated against women (although the 14th Amendment to the
Constitution guarantees "equal protection of the laws"). Yet the
burden of proof is still on each woman to prove that there has been
sex discrimination.

Canceling some fears about the ERA, the BPW answers the
following questions:

How will the ERA affect homemakers?

Husbands and wives will not be required to contribute equal
amounts of money to a marriage. There is no law requiring anyone to
take a job, and the ERA would not change this. . Who works out-
side the home will be decided by the individuals involved.
What about alimony and support?

Under the ERA alimony and support would be based on economic
dependency or relative ability to provide for needs, already the case
in many states today. Child custody would be awarded to the parent
who can better care for the child, another increasingly common oc-
currence.

Will the right to privacy remain?

Yes. Because "equality" does not mean "sameness." The ERA will
not require that men and women be regarded as identical.

The ERA must harmonize with other constitutional rights. The
constitutional right to privacy recognized by the Supreme Court in
Griswold v. Connecticut would permit a separation of the sexes in
such places as public restrooms and sleeping quarters of public
institutions.

What about the ERA and the military?

The ERA will permit men and women to volunteer for military
service on an equal basis. They will be assigned according to their
qualifications and the services' needs. Both men and women will
have equal access to the benefits of the military, such as the Gl
educational bill, medical care, veterans' preference for jobs, etc., as
well as the training provided by the service.

Will the ERA invade states' rights?

No. Under the federal system of the United States, the power to act
and enforce a constitutional amendment lies with the states. States
will continue to maintain that right with regard to the ERA.

Section 2 of the ERA reads: "The Congress shall have the power to
enforce by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

Following ratification, Congress will legislate any changes needed
in federal laws. Revisions of state laws will be controlled within the
states by state legislators.

All that is required by the amendment is that at both levels, state
and federal, the laws enacted be consistent with the principle of
equality of rights under the law for men and women.

Will 'protective' labor laws need changing?

Women are often denied real benefits because of the so-called
protective labor laws which restrict working hours, set weight-lifting
limits, or prohibit employment in certain occupations. Manyof these
laws which once did protect women from exploitation but nowactas
barriers to advancement are being struck down under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964

Under the ERA, state legislatures are expected to eliminate
"protective" laws which are restrictive On the other hand, some
laws which provide meaningful protection can be extended to men,
who often are denied benefits they need and deserve New laws can
thus be designed to take into account the capacities, preferences,
and the abilities of the individual male and female

What about social security benefits?

Social -security benefits will be available to men and women on an
equal basis A widower will be allowed, as a widow now is, to draw
on his wife's benefit without showing that she provided more than
half of his support. The ERA would also require changes to permit a
man to draw on his wife's social security just as any wife draws on
her husband's account

Nader and Udall to
speak on land use

Claire Owen, chairman of the
committee which drew up RC
165, said that having two or
three RCs for various dorms or
halls had been considered, but
that the resulting non-
uniformity would lead to more
violations. Thus one com-
prehensive system would be
easier to regulate.

She pointed out that students
choose dorms according to
where their friends are, saying
that if one person didn't drink
and her friends did, she would
live with them where alcohol
was present anyway. If drinking
were restricted to private rooms,
the rights of others would be
respected since common areas
such as halls would be free from
it.

Permission to drink in lounge
areas except dorm lobbies would
have to be renewed each year. A
room in the Hub might also be
set aside for drinking. Having
alcohol in these places would be
voted by students and approved
by the Dean of Students.
Students would be on their
honor to obey the policy decided
upon.

Claire cited two problems
which would arise if drinking
were allowed in dorm rooms.

National Land Use is the topic
of the second Atlanta En-
vironmental Symposium which
will beheld here on Wed, Apr. 3.
Ralph Nader and Stewart Udall
are among the speakers.

Russell W. Peterson,
chairman of the Council on En-
vironmental Quality, will speak
on "The Politics of Land Use" in
the morning. He will be followed
by consumer advocate Ralph
Nader speaking on "Corporate
Land Practices."

Also scheduled for the morn-
ing session is Ian McHarg,
professor of landscape architec-
ture and regional planning at the
University of Pennsylvania and
author of Design with Nature.
Mr. McHarg will speak on
"Urban Land Use "

The afternoon events will

clude the events of the day.

Like last year's Environmental
Symposium, this Symposium is
planned by Professors Robert
Leslie and David Orr. Providing
financial support for the
Symposium are Citizens and

RC 165. "Policy Regarding the Consumption of Alcoholic
Beverages on Campus," was spoken for and against by Claire
Owen and Susan Skinner at a campus-wide meeting on Mon.,
Feb. 25. The opinions expressed were not those of Rep Council,
but of the respective speakers. There will be a meeting on Mon.,
Mar. 4, at 11:30 a.m. in Gaines Auditorium to vote on the
proposal. The purpose of this vote is to give Rep an adequate idea
of student opinion.

RC165

WHEREAS, the majority of Agnes Scott students are 1 8 years or
older, and

WHEREAS, a college atmosphere should lend itself to student res-
ponsibility in both academic and social policies; therefore,

RESOLVED, that the Agnes Scott College "POLICY REGARDING
THE USE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES" as stated in the Student
Handbook, shall be amended as follows:

The college system should make available to students an at-
mosphere that will create a sense of responsibility on the part of
each student. The use of alcohol by students should be done in
moderation and with respect for the rights of others.

Students should comply with Georgia and Decatur laws regarding
the consumption of alcoholic beverages as follows:

Georgia

1The legal age for purchasing alcoholic beverages is 18. It is
against the law in Georgia either to sell or furnish alcoholic
beverages to minors.

2. It is illegal to appear in an intoxicated condition or to evidence
boisterous or vulgar behavior on any public street, in any public
place, in any private residence otherthan one'sown, oron anymode
of public transportation.

Decatur

1 . It is unlawful to drink in automobiles parked or moving on the
streets, highways, or alleys of the city.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages on campus will be limited to:
1. Students' private rooms.

2 Any public lounge within a residence hall except dormitory lob-
bies as decided by a vote of dormitory residents

3. Other locations and at campus social functions as approved by
the Dean of Students. The serving of alcoholic beverages at a cam-
pus social function must be approved by the Dean of Students one
week prior to the event. Only a student over 18 years of age may
serve the alcoholic beverage and a comparable non-alcoholic
beverage must also be served. No student government funds may be
used for the purchase of alcoholic beverages at campus social
functions. Students are on their honor to obey campus policy when
purchasing drinks at social functions. All beverages transported
between designated areas should be in a bag.

Violations of this policy include drinking in undesignated areas,
falsification of ID to purchase alcoholic beverages, purchasing
alcohol by those over 1 8 years of age for a minor, and the possession
of alcoholic beverages by those students under the age of 18

Misuse by a student of the Policy Regarding the Use of Alcoholic
Beverages involves:

1 . Endangering the reputation of the college.

2. Infringing on the rights of others.

3. Disrupting the life of the community.

Colleges consulted
before RC written

To arrive at RC 1 65, the Drin-
king Committee wrote to the
Deans of Students of 30colleges
like Agnes Scott to ask for a des-
cription of their regulations
governing the use of alcoholic
beverages.

Replies were received from
17; all of which had drinking
policies more liberal than the
current policy of Agnes Scott.
Each featured either drinking on
campus restricted to one or
(continued on page 2)

Con

Susan Skinner said that there
was a time when drinking was a
moral question, but that it is not
so today. She went on to say that
this is a crucial time which will
determine the future of Agnes
Scott.

"This is first and foremost an
academic community" which
must be "flexible without suc-
cumbing to every social and
academic fad of the moment."
Susan stated that students must
strive for excellence both as in-
dividuals and as a community.
Freedom carries with it res-
ponsibility for those around
oneself; the inconveniences of
day-to-day living may be
magnified if there were freedom
:o drink on campus.

Other colleges have
liberalized their drinking
policies, but "Agnes Scott
doesn't need to go this route."
According to Susan, liquor on
campus would lead to a decline
in standards.

Logistics present other
problems such as increased
regulations, penalties, en-
forcement, and there is also the
danger of infringing on the rights
of others and endangering the
life of the community.

"Is having drinking on campus
the primary question?" "No,"
she said, "it is the environment
in which to promote res-
ponsibility." This responsibility
extends to others involved with
Scott as well as to ourselves.

Susan said that Agnes Scott
standsto lose much in the way of
financial support from trustees
and alumnae if drinking were to
be allowed on campus. She also
stated that unlike many colleges,
Scott is located near places
which offer opportunities for
social life.

"We must recognize our res-
ponsibility and not just our
selfish desires." Every student
was urged not to "bend to social
and peer pressure from either
side of the issue, but to make an
individual decision, one that will
greatly influence Agnes Scott
College.

PROFILE / MARCH 1, 1974

Here we stand, feet planted firmly in the 19th century. Mature
young women at Agnes Scott College are just now debating an issue
which was resolved by the rest of the world decadesago. We thought
we'd won a great victory last spring when we could finally drink at
off-campus social functions. But that, ladies, is the thin edge of the
wedge.

Drinking is drinking no matter where it's done. We're talking about
doing something new which may therefore be dangerous; what we
are considering is extending the area in which this same thing may
be done. What good can it be doing us to preserve an artificial en-
vironment here? We joke about how out of touch Agnes Scott is with
the rest of the world, but the joke is on us.

There is nothing to indicate that the college would no longer
receive financial support from disapproving trustees, alumnae, and
others. If this were going to be done, it would have been done with
the first step not this late.

We can talk forever about abstract concepts and the kind of place
Agnes Scott is, could, and should be, but to assume that the college
community will fall into a "puddle and sink'' of academic, social, and
moral decay is absurd. Emotionalism has blurred things to the point
where drinking has been connected with our "Christian
background" in such a way as to equate pious attitudes with solid
morality and RC 1 65 with the decline andfall of Agnes Scott College.

Attention has been drawn to the possibility of infringing on the
rights of others by obnoxious behavior on the part of those who get
drunk and throw loud parties. Surely we are matureenough andfeel
a strong enough sense of community to respect these rights. People
already come in at all hours disturbing those around them. While it is
true that people who are intoxicated are not always in control of their
actions, it does not necessarily follow that if they did their drinking
here they would be in this condition more often or in greater degree.

It is ironic that we have for so long chosen not to let each one of
ourselves choose whether or not she may do something which is
legal, something she is capable of doing in a mature, responsible
manner

To the Editor:

Due to the fact that I have
received - strong criticism
because I expressed a personal
opinion, I find it necessary to
explain, not defend or apologize
for, my action Robert's Rules of
Order states under "Privileges"
that the President has the right
"to debate motions before the
house, if essential, but must
surrender the Chair."

I think that we all realize the
added responsibility of being an
elected officer or representative
It is necessary that the President

remain impartial while serving
in her official capacity unless
she relinquishes the chair
However, before being the
President of Student
Government, I am a participat-
ing member of the Agnes Scott
community. There comes a time
when our responsibility to the
college should make us all stop,
think, and question before
readily accepting a new
proposal. For this reason, I felt it
necessary, as an individual
member of the community, to
present the con side of the drin-

king issue.

I hope that we do not allow
matters to slip out of perspec-
tive. The proposed drinking
policy is of major concern and
we must keep action and at-
titude with the better i nterests of
the college in mind. I respect all
of those who have expressed
criticism, advice, and praise
that is what will continue to
make Agnes Scott a working
way of life.

Sincerely,
Susan Page Skinner

To The Student Body:

As many of you know, this
year there is a cooperative
program sponsored by the
Decatur Public Schools and
Agnes Scott College. For two
quarters we have staffed this
program at Beacon School with
some volunteers, but largely
with students enrolled in
courses in Psychology, Physical
Education and Education
However, during the spring
quarter, those courses are not
offered; thus, we will need to

depend upon volunteers to
maintain the program during the
next quarter.

A student may spend as little
as one hour per week at Beacon,
or as much time as she wishes.
The time only needs to be con-
sistent from week to week. We
welcome any student who is
interested, whether or not she
plans to becomea teacher or has
had courses in Education. Mr
Hepburn and I will be glad to help
in any way we can, either in the
curriculum lab or at Beacon.

If you have the time and are
interested in joining us in this
program, please leave your
name, the number of hours per
week you would like to spend at
Beacon, your spring quarter
schedule, and your access, or
lack of, to a car, in my office as
soon as possible.

If you have questions, please
make an appointment with Mr.
Hepburn or with me.

The Devil & Agnes

by Father Joseph Geniesse

The film The Exorcist has

caused sleepless nights, fainting
at movie theaters, much
conversation, and even an oc-
casional phone call to me here at
Newman House. I'm usually
relieved when I cantellthe caller
that I haven't seen the movie or
even read the book. All I can go
on, I affirm, is what I read about
the Devil and evil spirits in my
nowquite musty theology books

More people, certainly, are as-
king about what the Church
teaches with certainty on the
existence and activity of Satan. I
operate under the assumption
that we should be conservative
in our claims about what the
Bible teaches about the
existence of a supernatural,
personal agent of evil and
corruption

Biblical references to demons
might be understood as literary
expressions of evil and disorder
in the lives of men and in the life
of society Anyway, I don't wish
to debate the point in print see
me in the dining hall on
Thursdays if you want a further
development of this subject

What I would like to say is
Man's basic relationship to God
his redemption, his reception
of God's love and support, his
destiny are not subject to the
control of a personal evil spirit If
Satan exists, his power over
men has been conquered by
Christ

Furthermore, I don't see that it
makes a whole lot of difference
whether "the devil makes us do
it" or whether our evil springs
from our own dark inclinations
We are responsible for plenty of

evil: e.g., nursing long-standing
grudges, finding respectable
ways of leaving our claw marks
on others, resentment and envy
of those who accomplish more,
who are more gifted. There are
all those subterfuges we use to
avoid seeing the needs of others,
to route ourselves around the
opportunities to provide the
help they need.

We are expert at finding
reasons why we should not get
involved. (I suspect that many of
us need a personal Satan for the
same reasons that we look for
fiendish conspirators to explain
the problems of society.) We try
to avoid the complex, the con-
fusing, the self-revealing

answer to our problems.

Many of our confrontations
with day-to-day evil in our lives
can be suitably combated with a
regular dose of prayer, sacrifice,
and good works. Lent, you all
know, is big on this sort of thing
or at least, it was in my
childhood. Ash Wednesday is
the kick-off date not "Mardi-
Gras." Anybody wishing to lose
a pound or two or better
wishing to improve their
relationship with fellow humans
and God him/her-self, could try
periodically a little "on their
knees therapy" for about 40
days. Look for me around Easter:
I'll be a changed man (with God's
help, of course!)

Get internat'l student ID card here

by ANN FINCHER

A special aid to Agnes Scott
students travelling in Europe or
Asia during 1974 is the
International Student Identity
Card available through Miss
lone Murphy in the Vocational
Office.

This identification card, spon-
sored by the International
Student Travel Conference, is
one of the most widely accepted
proofs of student status in
Europe and Asia. This student
status often allows students to

Dr. James R. Kelley, of the
Department of History at
Georgia State University, began
a series of lecture-discussions
on 22 Latin American countries
on Tues., Feb. 26, which will
continue thereafter every Tues-
day through Apr. 16. The
meetings will be held in Room
201 of the General Classroom
Building of Georgia State
University at 7:30 p.m.

The series, called "Latin
America Past and Present," is
designed to acquaint Atlantans
with the history, culture and
present-day status of those
member countries of the
Organization of American States
which will be represented at the
OAS General Assembly when it
convenes in Atlanta Apr. 19 -
May 1 .

take advantage of special rate,
privileges, and opportunities
such as free or reduced ad-
mission to museums, theaters,
cinemas, concerts, and places of
cultural or historical interest.

The card also makes available
money-saving student travel

organizations of the

Conference inexpensive
student hotels and restaurants,
low-cost international student
tours, and student charter flights

to specified points in Africa at
savings of 50% and more.

"This student ID program is
not new," stated Miss Murphy,
"and now that there are so many
programs abroad, we can make
it available to Agnes Scott
students through this office." In
the past students desiring the
International Student Identity
Card had to obtain it through a
New York office of the
International Student Travel
Conference. This process was
sometimes long and com-
plicated. Nowtha: Miss Murphy
has the authority to issue the

cards, she feels students can
more readily take advantage of
the identification cards. Miss
Murphy emphasizes that she
has authority to issue cards to
Agnes Scott students only.

The International Student
Identity Card costs $2.00 and is
valid for up to fifteen months
depending upon the date of is-
sue. Only full-time students
under the age of 30 are eligible.
To obtain the identification card
through the Agnes Scott
vocational office, bring to the of-
fice one vending-machine
photograph (1 V2" x 1 V2") and an
application fee of $2.00.

Pro-drinking

(continued from page 1)

the other didn't, it is assumed
that they would be mature
enough to reach an agreement
as they would about smoking or
playing loud music. Second, in-
coming freshmen who did not
want to be assigned a roommate
who drank could indicate so on
their applications the way they
do now if they want one who
does not smoke.

Claire gave the following
reasons in support of the RC:

1 . The present policy creates a
dangerous situation by neces-
sitating driving or walking to and
from places where drinking is
allowed. RC 1 65 would increase
safety by removing these
hazards.

2. Drinking on campus would
encourage social life here
instead of forcing it all to be en
joyed elsewhere.

3. The present policy limits
personal freedom; it is more of
an imposition on drinkers than
non-drinkers because the
former have no choice while the
latter do under any
circumstances.

Drinking policies at other
colleges like Agnes Scott have
been studied. Claire sees no
degeneration in these colleges;
in fact, Mills is considering
broadening its policy. It is
believed that academics will
remain the first priority among
students at Agnes Scott.
Furthermore, it is seen as unfair
that the morals of a small group
dictate those of the student
body.

What they do in
Germany in Feb.

by JENNY FRANK

(Second in a series by
members of Chimo, Scott's
international students' group.)

The month of February in the
southern parts of West Germany
is a month of celebrations and
frolic. "Fastnacht" or "Fashing,"
as it is also called, is like Mardi
Gras. It officially starts on Nov.
11, at 11:11 a.m. But not until
Feb. are masquerade parties
given. "Fashingsbaelle" and
street dances are the dominat-
ing social events for the
Germans. Schools have their
own activities: class parties or
dances, where disguises are
mandatory. Most profs are very
understanding about hangovers
and undone homework and even
participate in class parties.

Feb. 26 brings "Fashing" to a
close. The colorful parades in

Mainz and Cologne, two cities
especially well known for their
"Fashing" activities, are
presented on television on this
day. Many young people and
children roam the streets, dis-
playing their costumes and
celebrating this last day of
merry-making until midnight.

Northern parts of Germany do
not join in on this fun. In cities
like Hamburg or Hannover,
"Fashing" is not celebrated. An
explanation for this might be
that the North is still mainly
Protestant, whereas the South is
predominantly Catholic. Only
the Catholics observe a time of
festivities, such as "Fastnacht,"
literally translated as "night
before fasting." Then on "As-
chermittwoch," Ash Wednes-
day, Feb. 27th, they begin their
"strict" fasting after they
recover from their hangover.

for rent

Cottages will be available for
rental to Agnes Scott students
this summer. According to
President Perry, rent will be
reasonable since this is "not a
commercial venture." There
must be a minimum of 10 oc-
cupants per house; formal
arrangements will be an-
nounced later.

Problems which may arise in-
volve taxes and previous com-
mitment to conference groups
which may need the space.
Interested students should sign
up in the office of the Dean of
Students. Doing so will not com-
mit anyone finally, but will in-
dicate approximately how many
people are to be planned for.

The rumor that some present
cottage residents will be moved
out after this quarter is untrue. If
the college had had to sharply
decrease heat this winter, the
cottages would have been cut off
first The fact that Sturgis and
Hardeman Cottages will not be
used next year may have added
to the confusion.

committee to
help pick dean

President Marvin B. Perry, Jr.
has assembled an advisory com-
mittee to assist him in the search
for a new dean of students
following the resignation of
present dean Roberta K. Jones.
Although Dr. Perry will appoint
the new dean himself, he will

Dr. Perry said that he is start-
ing now to send notice both here
and away in a "careful, wides-

The top candidates will come to

Student reports on
Washington semester

by LOUISE HUFF

When asked to relate some of
my experiences as a student of
the Washington Semester, I
found the task rather dry.
Perhaps I could best start with
an explanation of the program.
The Washington Semester,
sponsored by The American
University, solicits participants
from colleges and universities
throughout the United States.
This fall, there were 180
participants divided into units,
each of about 30 students.

Three units studied the federal
government system, one
concentrated on urban studies,
another on foreign policy making
in the United States, and the
sixth on international politics.
Each unit was directed by a
professor at the American
University who coordinated
seminars, led interpretation ses-
sions and offered counsel for our
independent research projects.

My unit was one that studied
the federal government. The ma-

jor portion of our study was a
series of seminars about four
per week. These were divided
into five groups: Congress,
Parties, Pressure Groups and
the Press; the Executive Branch;
Policy-Making; and the
Judiciary. Through her personal
connections, our unit director
was able to obtain some very
prominent speakers. The format
of the seminars was a twenty to
thirty minute introduction by the
speaker followed by an
interminable period of questions
and answers. We were en-
couraged to be aggressive and
unyielding in the pursuit of con-
troversial issues with our
speakers.

One seminar, with Senator
Bill Brock (R-Tenn.), proved to be
nearly explosive. Partisanship
became aggravating during a
seminar with Tip O'Neil
(D'Mass ), the House Majority
Leader, and one seminar with
Senator Charles Percy (R-lll.)
was undoubtedly a trial run of

Representation??

There was widespread if not unanimous surprise at the closeness
of the student vote on the proposed drinking policy. As the statistics
on page 1 indicate, most juniors and seniors are for it, and most
freshmen and sophomores are against it. This is reflected by thefact
that dorms with mostly upperclassmen in them tended to vote for it,
while the others voted against it.

Should such a small margin have obligated Rep Council to pass
RC 1 65? The referendum was not a mandate, but was designed to
find out as nearly as possible exactly how students felt about the
proposal. The results were close, but no matter what they had been,
they should have been taken more seriously.

This brings up the question of representative responsibility. Five
members voted against the vote of the people they represent . Three

voted against their class, one against her dorm, and one
against the student body.

These were not doing their job. They were not elected to represent
their own feelings, but those of their constituents. These represen-
tatives do not merit the confidence of those whose interests they
do not serve.

No one on Rep was required to vote as her class did, but the
purpose of the referendum was utterly defeated when this was not
done. Since certain representatives did not personally agree with the
majority of their classes, it was to be expected that they would
attempt to influence opinion on the issue. But to take advantage of
their power after opinion was expressed was unfair both to their
constituents and in principle.

Elections will be held at the beginning of spring quarter. Keep in
mind what was done on this occasion before you rush to circle
names on the ballot. Anyone you vote for will have opinions of her
own, but will she circumvent the wishes of her electors? Represen-
tatives, if their consciences will not allow them to represent their
constituents, should find other outlets for their personal beliefs.

To the Editor:

I have served as a member of
Rep Council for three of my four
years here, and during that time,
I have staunchly defended Rep
and what I believed to be a true
desire on the part of most of its
members to represent student
opinion in a mature, responsible
manner. On Tues., Mar. 5, I was
deeply disappointed when
severa I members of Rep chose to
ignore the majority of the
constituency which had elected
them, and thus cast their votes
on the drinking proposal,
RC 165, according to their own
personal beliefs in spite of a
straw vote from the student body

which had been taken in orderto
let Rep members know how the
persons they represented really
felt.

I am especially disappointed
with the actions of the President
of Student Government As-
sociation. I have no argument
with her right to cast her vote in
order to tie the vote 12-12 and
thus defeat it. However, I do
question her wisdom in
undertaking such an action. A
vote of 12 for and 1 1 against as
the vote stood prior to her vote
was clearly indicative of the
straw vote of the student body
and would have served as an
effective indicator of student
feeling to the Administrative

Committee. The fact remains,
however, that the student body
voted in favor of the proposal,
and Rep did not.

In my opinion. Rep Council has
lost face. This is an extremely
serious matter, and I would hope
that the student body would
recognize that they will have no
voice in future policy-making if
the current trend of Rep
members voting according to
their own personal beliefs, with
little regard for the feelings of
those whom they represent,
continues.

Lib McGregor
Vice-President,
Student Government Assn.

To the Editor;

In response to Susan
Skinner's letter which appeared
in last week's Profile, I felt a
need to "explain, not defend or
apologize" the "strong
criticism" voiced against her ac-
tions at a recent meeting of the
Student Body.

Many of us became concerned
that not all of us do "realize the
added responsibility of being an
elected officer." By a vote of con-
fidence, the students of Agnes
Scott vest in one person the
privilege and responsibility of
representing the students.
When the other members of Rep
Council learned of Susan's
intention to personally present

the Con side of RC 165, there
was a mass appeal for her to
reconsider.

The efforts of our other elected
officials merely resulted in a
token relinquishment of the
chair during the meeting. If there
had been no one else in the
student body of Agnes Scott who
was willing and qualified to
present the Con argument, the
actions of our President would
have been justified. Susan,
however, neither sought out
another speaker, nor did she
seek the advice of her other SGA
officers. Many of us then
became concerned that the SGA
Presidency was used as a
personal soapbox!

If Susan found it impossible to

be responsive to the majority
opinion of the elected represen-
tatives of the students, one must
wonder whether or not she can
be responsive and sensitive to
the desires of an entire student
body. Neither RC 165, nor
Robert's Rules of Order was
the object of debate. The issue
at hand lies in a concern that the
student body cannot expect our
President to participate in the
framework of Representative
Government which gives her the
respect of the entire student
body. With that respect rides an
awesome responsibility to
remain responsive to the desires
of the majority.

Sincerely,
Susan Stigall

To the student body:

Has "the rule of the jungle"
become the rule of the dining
hall? Is it true that "if you borrow
something long enough, it's
yours?" Apparently, this is the
case because glasses,
silverware, and dishes are con-
tinually being replaced at OUR
expense. The dining hall doesn't
purchase place settings to sup-
ply individuals with their own
personal plates, glasses, or
silverware, nor to furnish these
items for the dorm kitchens.
Abuse of our dining hall system
will lead to stricter surveillance.
The drain of permanent dining
hall items no matter how you
rationalize it can only be con-
sidered stealing and MUST be
stopped.

It's time for us to realize that
the presence of shiny spoons is
not just to mark a great occasion
at Agnes Scott, but indicates a
problem that is our own res-
ponsibility to correct

Sincerely,
Honor Court

YMCA plans trip
to Eastern Europe

For the seventeenth
consecutive year the Georgia
Tech YMCA is sponsoring a non-
profit summer tour to the USSR
and Eastern Europe. The tour is
open to Agnes Scott students
and alumnae.

The YMCA tour is different
from commercial and other
university tours in that most
itinerary decisions are made by
the group and that the.cost is ao-
proximately one half that of a
commercial tour Instead of
subscribing to a pre-planned
tour, participants in the YMCA
tour are able to plan their trip
around their own interests.

The size of the group will be
limited to eight to fourteen
people in order to foster group

decision making.

At this time, the preliminary
cost estimate for the tour is $1 ,-
500.00 for each person. This is
for the approximately 50 days of
guided tour and covers
transportation from New York,
accommodations, guides, most
meals, and a flexible return trip
to New York sometime after the
end of the formal tour.

March 15 is the
deadline for accepting ap-
plications

People interested in further
information about the tour
should call either Carlton Parker
at the Tech YMCA (894-2590)or
Larry Keating at the City Plan-
ning Department, Ga Tech

Michael Palmer and featuring TV's Felix of "The Odd Couple," Tony
Randall as narrator. This evening will feature Rossini's Overture to
"The Barber of Seville," with Randall narrating Saint-Saens
"Carnival of the Animals" and William Walton's Facade.

It will take place Mar. 1 5 & 1 6, 8:30 p.m., Symphony Hall. Tickets
are scaled $2.60 to $7.30 and are available at Symphony Box Office,
892-2414, Memorial Arts Center.

74-75 season

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, preparing to celebrate its 30th
anniversary season, has announced its 1 974-75 subscription series
at Symphony Hall, expanding the number of concert programs for
the season from 18 to 20.

Music Director Robert Shaw will conduct the season's opening
concert on Sept. 1 9 with an all-orchestral program and will close the
season on May 17, 1975, conducting a major choral work. Sharing
conducting duties with Mr. Shaw and Michael Palmer, Associate
Conductor, will be 10 young, international conductors.

Sixteen instrumental soloists, representing the largest selection
of performing artists ever presented in Atlanta during a single
season, have been scheduled. These include nine pianists, five
violinists and two cellists. Three choral programs, to be conducted by
Mr. Shaw, will complete the season.

Students in several Southern
states can now enroll on a
resident-tuition basis in selected
graduate programs in other
states.

The arrangement, which will
become effective this fall, is
made possible through the
Academic Common Market, a
project of the Southern Regional
Education Board. The interstate
agreement provides for the
reciprocal sharing of academic
graduate programs.

Students from participating
states will have access to
master's or doctoral degree work
in such varied fields as African
history, home economics, radio
astronomy, water pollution
ecology or nuclear engineering.

Thus far, Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina and

Tennessee have joined the
Market. The participation of
Maryland, North Carolina,
Virginia and West Virginia is
tentative but expected in the
next several weeks pending,
in some cases, only the almost
certain ratification of the
agreement by state legislatures
or boards of trustees.

The programs in which
residents of a participating state
can enroll depend upon their
state's arrangement. Under the
Common Market agreement,
each member state puts a
number of its programs in a
"market pool" and then
arranges for its residents to have
access to out-of-state programs
not offered in its own
institutions. The number of out-
of-state programs is thus made
available at in-state rates.

On the other hand, by offering
highly specialized programs to
out-of-state students at in-state
rates, participating institutions
will increase enrollments in
such "uncommon" programs
which, in many cases, have the
capacity for additional students.

As a result of the Common
Market, additional education op-
portunities will be available to
many students and existing
programs in the Southern region
will be more efficiently utilized
all at a savings to the
students, institutions and
taxpayers.

this program is Dr. James E.

Washington semester in review

(continued from page 1)

his campaign speech for the
1976 Presidential nomination.
Though it was exciting to meet
and discuss issues with
congressmen, lobbyists and
bureaucrats were far more
stimulating. About once a week,
our unit director conducted a
formal interpretation session
typing together the seminars
with our background reading
about two or three books each
week.

In retrospect, I believe some of
the better seminars were with
Les Janka, Assistant to
Secretary Henry Kissinger;
Lewis Engman, the chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission;
and District Court Judge
Gerhard Gesell who has been
involved with the Watergate
trials. Two that stand out as very

disappointing were one seminar
with Robert Strauss, the
Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee and another
with Supreme Court Chief Jus-
tice, William Douglas.

I believe the most worthwhile
part of the Washington
Semester was the informal dis-
cussions, the spontaneous
interaction of politically
interested students. Our living
together was perhaps the best
asset to the program. Often we'd
begin to argue over dinner (a
communal arrangement where
forty people shared a three-
burner stove) through Walter
Cronkite, and far on into the
night. Though there was a vast
geographical cross-section of
participants from California to

Iowa to Texas to Maine, most
everyone was extremely liberal
politically.

The erratic climate of
Washington last fall provoked
lengthy discussion, fostered
many jokes and greatly
enhanced my participation in the
Program. Each day, most of us
would spend a few hours in the
galleries of the House or Senate,
at Committee hearings and at
the Watergate investigation
not to mention the weekly
impeachment rallies.

I highly recommend the
Washington Semester and put
myself at the disposal of anyone
who would like to discuss my
experience. An important thing
to note is that most participants
were Juniors.

Job opportunities in Europe
this summer . . . Work this
summer in the forests of
Germany, on construction in
Austria, on farms in Germany,
Sweden, and Denmark, in hotels
in Switzerland. There are these
jobs available as well as jobs in
England, France, Italy and
Holland to American university
students coming to Europe the
next summer

For several years students
made their way across the
Atlanta through A. E.S. -Service
to take part in the actual life of
the people of these countries.
The success of this project has
caused a great deal of en-
thusiastic interest and support
both in America and Europe.

Every year, the program has
been expanded to include many
more students and jobs.

Vacation-Work Ltd

College students and other
young people looking for an
exciting and low cost way to
explore Europe have an op-
portunity to do this by joining the
Summer Jobs in Europe
program

Participants can work in a
hotel in France, on an
archaelogical dig in Britain or
with a family in Italy. In all there
are seven job categories
available for periods from five to
nine weeks Summer Jobs in
Europe offers a job, a four-day
orientation program in London,
documentation and full back-up-
service for only $1 29.

Vacation-Work Ltd , who
arrange the program, have
seven years' experience of fin-

ding jobs for Americans.
Although based in Oxford,
England, Vacation-Work has an

Already, many students have
made application for jobs next
summer. American-
European Student Service (on a
non-profitable basis) is offering
these jobs for students for
Germany, Scandanavia,
England, Austria, Switzerland,
France. Italy and Spain. The jobs
consist of forestry work, child
care work (females only), farm
work, hotel work (limited
number available), construction
work, and some other more
qualified jobs requiring
specialized training.

The purpose of this program is
to afford the student an op-
portunity to get into real living
contact with the people and cus-
toms of Europe In this way, a
concrete effort can be made to
learn something of theculture of
Europe. In this return for his or

Women in science

Cambridge, Mass. (I P.) The
myth that women are not
interested or competent in
science has been exploded,
states Harvard University
physicist Margaret E. Law
Another myth, said Dr. Law, is
that women who get a good
science education lose their
skills after marraige and
pregnancy and female res-
ponsibilities such as
motherhood also make women
undesirable for science.

Research on the science and
mathematics competence of
females, said Dr. Law, has
shown that they are probably
equal or superior to males in
scientific competence when
they have equal educational op-
portunities. Many schools of
science, and the men running
them, are prejudiced against
women in science, she said.

"One obvious thing that
happens is that a higher percen-
tage of women leave college
with a master's degree instead
of continuing (for the Ph.D.).
Various studies have shown that
the attrition rate in graduate
school is higher for women than
men, and the major reason for
this is family responsibility "

Often science research re-
quires long and demanding
hours. During crucial times of
family responsibility, part-time
work may be the answer "As

with undergraduates, there are
several ways in which some of
the special problems of women
graduate students could be ap-
proached. It should become
routine for a student with other
responsibilities to continue her,
or his, education on a part-time
basis with equivalent financial
aid and with full university
benefits," she continued.

"Maternity leaves of
reasonable length should be
allowed with guaranteed read-
mission and resumption of
financial aid. In the same way, it
should be routine to admit to
graduate school qualified older
women who wish to continue
their education after raising a
family."

"But in addition to helping the
women graduate student
already enrolled, we must also
encourage more able
undergraduates to apply to
graduate school. There is
evidence that discrimination in
admission exists. It appears that
women need higher grade point
eges than men to be admitted to
graduate school. And, on
they are less likely to receive
adequate financial aid."

One study, which she cited,
has shown that 91 percent of
women Ph D.s continue to be ac-
tive in their field, 80 percent
without interruption.

1To what specific changes in school policy or
regulations do you think Rep Council should address
itself?

MORGAN: Ideally the Representative Council should be
a reflector of student opinion as well as a group of
leaders in student affairs. Therefore, Rep Council should
be an instigator of changes, while at the same time it
should be extremely sensitive tothetypesandtheextent
of change the student body would allow. Specifically, in
light of what happened to RC 165, Rep should begin
work immediately on another recommendation this
time one in which drinking would be allowed in a
designated area and/or at on-campus social functions.
Rep should also begin an extensive program to let the
student body know the specific pros and cons of open
dorms.

We are a woman's college and not a girls' school. It is
absurd that our library closes at 1 0:20 p.m. on weekdays.
It should be open at least one hour later. For two years
now Rep has politely requested this. It now is time for
this problem to be addressed forcefully. These are three
easily pinpointed problems to which I would give
immediate and if necessary prolonged attention.

STIGALL: Foremostin my mind during this election is the
real need for students to have a voice in deciding school
policies. I believe that the student body has grown tired
of being "ineffective." Now more than ever we need to
appeal to the Administration for an active voice in our
government. With the addition of two more students to
the Administrative Committee, we the students of Agnes
Scott have an opportunity to determine the role of SGA
at our school. Are we to make moves to initiate an
energetic, effective Student Government Association,
or will we allow SGA to exist merely as a decorative
element at Scott? SGA must become a realistic and
representative voice of student desires if it is to carry any
weight with the administration.

STRETCH: I do not feel that specific recommendations on
changes in school policy or regulations to be considered
by Rep Council are appropriate. While I have many
personal opinions, I feel the initiative in these matters
should come from the students themselves. No one can
accurately guess the priorities or viewpoints of all of us.
Rep Council should address itself to those ideas which
are presented by the students or to determiningthrough
other methods where students wish to see change. I
think three major decisions of the past year evoked a
great deal of discussion and response on the part of the
entire student body. I am hopeful and confident that
when these issues are resolved, student involvement
will continue in other areas.

2. With what specific problems in the academic and
social life of this campus would you like to see Rep
Council concern itself?

MORGAN: The problems which should be addressed can
be summed up under a heading of academic and social
morale. I am glad that you asked me about academic
problems, although it is not easy to specify them. At the
present time intellectual excitement seemsto be waning
on our campus. There are many possible reasons for
this,andtheyaretightly interwoven. Rep must serveasa
thermometer of academic morale, anda liaison between
faculty and students. Rep must be vocal on matters such
as the reduction of our two largest departments.

I would like to see a very active Committee on
Academic Problems reporting to Rep every two weeks. I
would like to see Rep members or members of the
Student Body serving in advisory positions on faculty
committees concerned with matters of curriculum and

Mary Gay Morgan
candidate for president of SGA

calendar. I would also like to see Rep members actively
concerned with the academic problems of the people
they represent. Members should also pursue solutions,
whether they be in the form of suggestions to the faculty,
or to the Honor Court, or to students themselves. As for
social life, I think we need more activities on campus and
more opportunities for students to meet a variety of guys
both here and wherever the guys are to be found. This I
see primarily as the responsibility of Social Council. I
would also like to engage Rep, Social Council, and the
Student Body in a joint effort of looking into any
problems which arise in social morale.

STIGALL: An air of helplessness and hopelessness
seems to have permeated the campus and brought with
it an inevitable feeling of frustration and discontent. A
lack of communication among students has resulted in
factionalism. Ironically, both "factions" have been striv-
ing to unify the campus community, but the unity is mis-
sing. I feel that open forums which make the Student
Government Representatives available for questions
concerning vital school policies is essential to the
existence and maintenance of a representative SGA.
The Profile can also serve as an effective vehicle for Rep
proceedings.

As always, the close correlation of academic and
social standards at Agnes Scott will be brought forward
for re-evaluation. The drinking issue along with the
question of parietals will be presented to the student
body for consideration. On these and all proposed RC's,
Rep must be responsive to student desires. There is ob-
viously discontent with the present policy and Rep must
seek an acceptable compromise, but at no time must the
personal views of Rep be substituted for the student
body majority.

STRETCH: I feel that problems in these areas, as those in
policy and regulations, should be the responsibility of the
students to name, and not their president. However,
whether as president of the Student Body or an in-
dividual community member there are some situations I
intend to raise discussion about. Foremost of these is in
the area of academic and career counseling. A major
cause of discouragement here, I think, is in not knowing
what the effort put in leads to.

Many students are asking, "What can I do with this
major? Where and how do I apply to grad school? What
opportunities are there for me for interesting summeror
full-time jobs?" But few of us are able to get encouraging
answers to these questions. Many of us are uneasy see-
ing recent graduates in jobs where a college degree is
meaningless. Some of this is due to current job
shortages, and there are some parts of the career plan-
ning program here that are helpful. I feel, however, that
much could be done to make it more effective.
3. Discuss any changes in the organization of the
Student Government committees you would like to
see implemented.

ELECTION
ISSUE

This is the Election Issue of the PROFILE. Itcontains
questions directed to the candidates for the major of-
fices, their answers, and their pictures.

All candidates were contacted in order to have their
pictures taken but some did not respond. Thus the
omission of pictures of some candidates is not due to
editorial bias.

Speeches will be made by some of the candidates in
Convocation tomorrow at 11:30 a.m., Gaines
Auditorium. On the front and back of the last page of
this paper is the OFFICIAL BALLOT on which you
vote. Check by the Hub on Thurs., Mar. 28 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 are to bring the ballot back to the Hub (within
these same hours) to be validated and turned in.

We hope this issue will help you choose a candidate
and that it will encourage you to VOTE!

MORGAN: The committee structure we have now is, in
theory, fairly good. We do not have as many standing
committees as there have been in the past. This year
most of the work has been done through ad-hoc com-
mittees composed of members of Rep and students at
large. I would like to see each Rep member serving on at
least two committees. The problem now is one of com-
mitment. I think there are many people in the student
body, and many candidates for Rep, who would like to be
active on committees. I hope these people will be
brought forth.

STIGALL: Student Government committees offer the
President of SGA a means of utilizing valuable student
energy for the campus community. Like any committee
system, this one divides responsibility among more than
the handful of elected officers. Properly used, these
committees focus on all facets of student life: academics
Committee on Academic Problems; day-to-day
Student Services; and enrichment Lecture and Con-
vocation Committees. Through these committees, the
President can handle far more areas of student interest
than would be possible if left up to a single student.

STRETCH: Perhaps Rep Council could be enlarged for
greater access. Every student should know, and feel free
to discuss her thoughts with, at least one Rep member.
Were there a member from each dorm floor this, while
not making the Council too large to be effective, might
encourage students to communicate their ideas more.
The most important need of the Student Government
committees is to involve all interested persons by in-
forming them as to what is going on in their particular
areas and encouraging students to participate. To make
this campus what we want it to be we need a very well-
organized and active student body.

4. The president of S G A. is one of the two student
members on the Administrative Committee. Evaluate
your function on this committee.

MORGAN. As president of SGA I would be a member of
the Administrative Committee for one reason because
I would be an elected representative of the Student Body.
Therefore, on any matter in which I knew what student
opinion was, as in the case of an RC, I wouldcome to the
AC as the spokesman for the RC and/or student opinion.
In those cases in which I would be called to give an
opinion and there was not a clear mandate from Rep or
students, I should hope I would be so attuned to
students' views as to represent all of them adequately.

STEALL: The SGA President's function on Ad-
ministrative Committee is non-negotiable. It is her duty

(continued on page 2)

PROFILE/MARCH 26, 1974

honor court

Susan Stigall
candidate for president of SGA

(continued from page 1)

to relay to the faculty and administration the feelings of
her constituency, and to effect those changes desired by
her constituency.

STRETCH: The Administrative Committee is the im-
portant policy-making body of this campus. I feel it is
crucial that the students take full advantage of their two
seats on this committee. In many ways it is the students
themselves who know what is best for the college, and
our perspective must bear full weight in deliberations
about its welfare. We cannot afford to allow this privilege
and power to become meaningless. If chosen to be part
of the channel for student input, I intend to firmly and
clearly present the student opinion.

5. In a larger context, what do you consider to be the
responsibility of the president of SGA. as a represen-
tative of the student body?

MORGAN: First of all I think that as a candidate I should
reply to any questions asked and make my views known
through this paper, the speech, and through individual
conversations. Knowing that students were aware of my
opinions, if I were elected, I could assume that they were
in agreement with the general direction I sought for
SGA. After elected, my personal views on specific issues
would be of the same importance as anyone else's no
more, no less. Nevertheless, because of the weight of my
office, I would have an advantage over other students in
voicing my personal opinion.

I believe it would be unfair to other students to use my
position for the projection of personal beliefs. I would be,
above all, a representative. Where there was a decision
made by the student body or Rep, that decision would be
my major concern. I want you to know before the election
what I think and what I would work for as President. If I
am elected I will not totally suppress my personal views.
But you may be assured that I will exercise care as to
when and where I will express them.

STIGALL: As a representative of the student body, the
President of SGA is obligated to present all sides of
student opinion, both on and off campus. Whether meet-
ing with the Administrative Committee, the Board of
Trustees, alumnae, prospective students, or the present
student body, the SGA President must maintain an
energetic and concerned attitude regarding all student-
related policies. Personal approval naturally encourages
a drive for action, but equally important isthe cultivation
of a driving force initiated by the student body. Namely, a
President must lead as well as be guided by her
constituency.

STRETCH I am very concerned about a tendency to
minimize student input in the affairs of this college.
Many of us feel, rightly, that we have ideas which would
help in making the most of Agnes Scott's great potential.
Many of us feel we are the most capable to pinpoint the
causes of declining enrollment. Yet often our opinions do
not receive the respect they deserve as intelligent and
adult concerns. This stems in part from an underes-
timation of the students' enthusiasm for, and ability to
intelligently perceive, what is best for thecollege. Also it
stems from a timidity, as well as uncertainty on how to
go about expressing views on our part We must realize
that the student Government is our most effective
means, and accept the responsibility of using it to our ut-
most This body and its president must be energetic and
firm in asserting the student concerns

1 How should Honor Court deal with the student who
does not feel that the regulations under the honor
system coincide with her personal beliefs and so
breaks the regulations?

GILLIS: The implications of this question are those of an
Honor System based on a selective choosing of which
regulations will or will not be upheld by each individual.
Selective honor is a weakness that undermines and
deteriorates a working Honor System such asours. With
our decision to attend Scott, we assumed the res-
ponsibility of living in a community that functioned
within a framework of certain regulations and stan-
dards. As long as these regulations exist, I do not feel
that Honor Court can condone their intentional breakage
either on the premise of personal disagreement or any
other.

2. Do you see any areas presently under the juris-
diction of Honor Court which should not be? Any not
included which should be?

GILLIS: I feel the jurisdiction of Honor Court as it stands
now is 'relevant to the nature of the body "

3. If RC 164 is passed by the Administrative Com-
mittee, how would you implement the changes in the
constitution of Honor Court?

GILLIS: If the changes are approved, it seems that their
implementation would automatically follow as a result of
the procedures outlined in the new constitution. Honor
Court would then be required to carry out these new
changes. However, as a result of the overall changes in
the constitutions of Dorm Council and Interdorm, I would
like to have meetings with these two councils. These
meetings would be for the purpose of clarifying and em-
phasizing the degree of increased responsibility the
changes would delegate to individual Dorm Council and
Interdorm members.

4. Explain the responsibility of each student underthe
honor system. How can Honor Court encourage a
student to accept this responsibility?

GILLIS: As Honor Court has stated before, our Honor
System is based on the concept of dual responsibility.
This responsibility requires an integrity that is com-
munal as well as personal. To be explicit, the res-
ponsibility involves upholding all the standards and
regulations of the Honor System yourself and seeing
that those people around you do the same. There can be
no Honor System unless it is initiated and maintained by
each individual.

One of the important functions of Honor Court, in my
opinion, is to emphasize the benefits we gain from the
Honor System. Our job should not be only to criticize or
punish violators, but also to interact with fellow students
in a positive, beneficial way; to establish a better rapport
so that they feel free to discuss aspects of the Honor
System with individual board members. A greater em-
phasis (especially with freshmen) on the unique lifestyle
we enjoy as a result of our Honor System hopefully
would instill in students an increased desire to assume
their responsibility in order to insure the continuation of
this life style.

5. The chairman of Honor Court is one of the two
student members on the Administrative Committee.
Evaluate your function on this committee.

GILLIS: As a voting member of Administrative Com-
mittee, my function is to not only represent student
viewpoints but first of all to represent Honor Court and
the Honor System. My first priority is to assess the effect
on the Honor System of any matters up before the Com-
mittee. After this I must also weigh and consider the
viewpoints of Honor Court and the students. When a
vote is taken, my own decision will be the result of a com-
bined consideration of all of these viewpoints.

interdorm

1 . What have Dorm Council members actually done
this year, and what will you expect them to do next
year?

TISON: Throughout the year, Dorm Council members
served as liaisons between Interdormitory Council and
the students as well as being judiciary representatives
for dorm-related cases. Specific activities of dorm coun-
cil members were helping the Dorm Presidents prepare
the dorms during the retreat before fall registration for
incoming students, conducting freshmen hall meetings
to go over school rules and handbook, posting notices
and announcements, constructing bulletin boards, and
checking to be sure any reported hall problems were
taken care of.

Next year I will expect the members to continue these
activities in order to perpetuate the sense of helpful com-
munity present at Agnes Scott. If RC 1 64 is approved by
the Administrative Council, Dorm Councils will be
smaller and hold more case-oriented responsibilities. I
think it should be stressed that if such a situation occurs,
I expect the Dorm Councils to be even more conscious of
the seriousness of their judicial power and thus of their
ability to help keep dorm life functioning smoothly at this
most basic level of day-to-day living.

WALL The function of Dorm Council members is to help
make dorm living more bearable by seeing to it that the
rules which are made to protect the rights of the
students are enforced, and to take action when these
rights are abused The specific duties of a Dorm Council
member change in accordance with the rules, but the
essential function remains the same

2. Do you think the new sign-out policy is working
well so far? Do you anticipate any further changes be-
ing necessary?

TISON I feel the new sign out policy is working quite
well It has helped to impress upon the students their in-
dividual responsibility and has eliminated the picky
Interdorm and Qorm Council case arguments over points
which were so prevalent before At present I anticipate

no changes.

WALL: It's difficult to judge something that's been in
effect only one quarter, but I do think that so far, the new
sign-out policy is much more effective than the old one
because it operates the same way the students operate,
i.e. leaving word where you'll be, or at least who you'll be
with. As far as changes go, I don't foresee any right now.
I think eventually the sign-out for holidays will go, but
we've got to see how this policy works before we move
on to that.

3. If RC 1 64 is approved by the Administrative Com-
mittee, how would you implement the changes in the
constitution of Interdorm?

TISON: Due to the higher individual and judicial status
which will be bestowed upon Dorm Councils if the Ad-
ministrative Committee approves RC164, understan-
ding and communication between Interdorm and Dorm
Councils must be closer than ever before in order to as-
sure coordination and consolidation of the activitiets of
the residential units and the Dorm Councils within the
framework of college regulations. I feel this com-
munication can be handled through the regular weekly
Interdorm meetings and, if need be, occasional meetings
between Interdorm Executives and the individual dorm
councils. With Interdorm's power of appellate juris-
diction under RC 1 64, the road of dissention is left open
in case a student feels her verdict has been reached un-
fairly.

WALL That's a moot question now, but I don't believe
any changes would be necessary. A drinking policy
should be handled like any other dorm rule. I don't see
why a violation of a drinking policy should be any
different from a violation of quiet hours or of the key
policy.

4. What can be done about problems in dorm living
with quiet hours, phone co-op, hostess duty, fire
drills, etc.? State what you consider problems and
give possible solutions.

(continued on page 3)

PROFILE/MARCH 26, 1974

PAGE 3

(continued from page 2)

TISON: The best possible solution to any problem in
dorm living with quiet hours and phone co-op is the
stress of consideration for your neighbor. Whether to
have phone co-op or not is voted by each hall. Where
many students have private lines, phone co-op has no
longer seemed necessary. Quiet hours and noise levels
are hard to enforce with infractions, though they are
helpful in quieting flagrant offenders. The best solution
seems, again, to be consideration for other dorm
members. Also, when someone (either a dorm council
member or a neighbor) asks an offender to quiet things
down, she should do so without taking the request as a
personal affront. Noise levels naturally rise from time to
time, but continuous running screaming, blaring of
stereos, etc., do not make for pleasant living conditions.
People sleeping through fire drill has been a problem but
the buddy system instigated this year seems to be help-
ing eliminate this problem.

WALL. Problems concerning quiet hours, phone co-op
and hostess duty are all simply the results of living in
close quarters with a large number of people. Handing
out infractions can help to a degree, but the only real
solution is for all of us to be mature enough to have con-
sideration for the people we live with.

The fire drill situation here is ludicrous. There is no
guarantee that a fire will only break out between the
hours of 1 2 and 2 p.m. on a week night in a dorm. I'd hate
to think what would happen if there was a fire in Buttrick
at 1 0:00 a.m. I f we must have fire drills, they should be
real drills. They should be timed, and they should be held
at different times and in various places.

bsa

1 . Should BSA be like a regular board, sponsoring its
own activities, as well as working to coordinate and
publicize the activities already planned by the other
boards?

McMILLAN: BSA's major function is to coordinate and
publicize activities of the various boards. I feel that its
commitment to coordinate also entails a responsibility to
focus campus interest inoependently. BSA's
membership of all the major groups and boards on cam-
pus enables it to be extremely sensitive to campus needs
and desires as well as to mobilize the existing sources for
achievement. Many of the activities of BSA as a board,
especially and the practical courses, have answered
perceived needs in areas which other boards did not
cover. BSA's primary function should not be "to do." It
should represent a leadership in campus activities
which can focus, direct, and when necessary initiate
them.

NEWTON: I feel that BSA is a regular board. A board has
a need for unity, and BSA unifies all the boards. BSA's
membership is composed of other board chairmen, class
presidents, and members-at-large from the freshman
and sophomore classes. This means that every student
on campus is represented by at least one person. The
coordination and publicity of campus activities is neces-
sary in order to avoid conflicts between different groups.
I do think that certain activities need to be sponsored by
BSA when they don't pertain to any specific board. This
also keeps any board from being overloaded with ac-
tivities in addition to those it normally sponsors. I deally,
as BSA plans an activity, the different chairmen should
return to their boards and involve their members in one
small facet of the overall activity. This would prevent a
work overload for an individual or one council.

WEAVER: As a board of "student .activities ," I strongly
feel that it should act on its own as a regular board of the
college. Certainly a very important facet of the board isto
coordinate and publicize the activities of the other
boards and classes. However, these activities are often
limited to specific categories of people, for example,
"Sister Class" parties, dorm games and projects, in-
dividual class activities, ; orientation sponsors and
helpers, etc. I would like to see more activities planned
by B.S.A. to encourage a greater mingling of people of
different classes and with different major area concen-
trations.

2. If so, what kinds of things would you like for BSA to
sponsor? If not, why not?

McMILLAN: I feel that activities such as the practical
courses should continue especially in the fields of
practical business and finance. I also fee that there is a

Marie Newton, Becky Weaver, Delia McMillan
candidates for chairman of BSA

strong need for coordinated programs of stimulating but
informal on-campus entertainment good movies,
concerts, etc. Activities of this sort have always been
sponsored by various boards and I would like to see them
on an increased, more regular, and coordinated basis. I
feel that BSA could sketch a campus orientation towards
this for the various boards.

NEWTON: First, I think BSA should sponsor activities
that the students are interested in and that are elevant
to this time. I feel that Practical Courses meet these
stipulations, and therefore I want to continue having
them. Needs and desires of the students do change, so I
am open to any ideas concerning changes in the format
or in courses offered. For example, I would like to have a
course in self-defense (which we wanted this year but
couldn't work out), because I think young women need
some practical knowledge in this area. It would be great
if this could be held off-campus, perhaps at the YWCA, in
order to get the proper atmosphere. This goes for other
courses too getting off campus during the week really
could help morale.

I would propose not having a Drug Seminar next year
because I think almost everyone here has made her
decision concerning drugs and knows the facts about
them. Some type of Sex Seminar is needed, though,
because every girl here wants the answers to certain
personal questions. I would also like to see, in the spring,
a big weekend similar to Black Cat, which perhaps could
be planned in conjunction with the spring dance.

1 How would you handle academic orientation? What
kinds of things would you plan in order to acquaint
newcomers with the academic life at Scott?

DAWSEY: To be sure, a balance should be maintained
between social and academic orientation. One way,
then, to acquaint newcomers with academic life at Scott
is to ask that they read books of current interest the
summer before coming to school in the fall. It is my
opinion, however, that this is a waste of the student's
time if those books are not going to be used in the
freshman English classes. While the liberal arts panel
provides some follow-up, I feel the students would
participate and enjoy the panel more having discussed
some of the material in class. Therefore, if the English
classes are going to use the books, require them to be
read; if not. I see no sense in them.

Library orientation is necessary, I think, but it should
encompass only a library tour of about 15 minutes for
which the students sign up. Moreover, some type of map
of the library enclosed in the orientation packet might
also be helpful. Furthermore, faculty advisors are not
only necessary, but can be very helpful. Chosen on the
basis of interests as indicated on forms sent to freshmen
during the summer, the faculty should also indicate that

Because it would be sponsored by BSA, every board
would be invited to participate.

WEAVER: The practical courses, an overwhelming
success due to this year's board's hard work, should
definitely be continued, in my opinion. Not only are they
a good breakfrom studying butalsothey offer knowledge
and skills in areas which we as students feel a need. I
would also like to see a day set aside in the spring with
activities planned in which everyone can relax and have
fun. Something such as a picnic to Stone Mountain, like
the one at Black Cat, would be fun.

3. Campus activities often suffer from poor atten-
dance. Is there any way BSA can stimulate more
interest in these events?

McMILLAN: Participation in activities cultural as well
as entertaining should stem from the natural curiosity
that a liberal arts education endeavors to engender
Curiosity should encompass a broad spectrum of
interests. I would like to see both campus boards and
students envision a well-rounded aim for activities
which necessitates spontaneous rather than obligatory
attendance. Cultural as well as entertaining activities
have their place in the integrated whole.

NEWTON: I really feel that students will attend those
events they are interested in and that are relevant to
them. This was evidenced fall quarter at several lectures
and chapels. Because of the easy access to Atlanta's
cultural events, perhaps some activities are not needed
as much in 1 974 as in prior years. But, BSA must always
work to instigate new programs, lectures, and
gatherings pertinent to the needs and interests of Agnes
Scott. With regard to those activities which are held,
BSA's purpose is to coordinate and publicize events. This
publicity is a great way to let people know about what's
going on!! If posters are interesting, people tend to look
at them; and word-of-mouth as always is the best
advertisement.

Those who mention activities to others should be
excited about them, too. And in order for BSA to promote
excitement, the individuals on BSA must be fired up! Of
course, not everyone is interested in the same things,
but BSA has the power to delegate responsibility to
different boards. There should always be at least one
board enthusiastic about a current project. As an exam-
ple, for music recitals, Arts Council would probably be
interested and could easily publicize them. In order to
cause others to attend events, it is up to BSA to stimulate
the initial momentum.

WEAVER: I think that B.S.A. can work more along the
line or coordinator of different activities by all the boards
not only in the area of coordinating our own campus
functions but also keeping in mind those activities
(concerts in particular) of Georgia Tech and Emory which
would draw attendance from A.S.C. functions. I believe
that stressing to the members of B.S.A. the importance
of talking about the activities of the college to their
various boards and in turn among the students can
stimulate interest in the student body towards those ac-
tivities.

they would like to be advisors. Certainly, the luncheon
with the advisors puts the freshmen more at ease and
allows them to know the faculty advisor as someone
more than the initials on a course card.

FINE: The importance of academics at Scott should be
stressed, but an overload of academic orientation could
be frightening rather than helpful. No one can orient a
freshman better than another student. The liberal arts
panel, led by seniors representing the major areas of
study, should be the main focus here. I feel that outstan-
ding sophomores and juniors should be added to the
panel. Many freshmen have not decided their majors,
and the sophomores and juniors may be able to give
better clues to studying than seniors who are used to
concentrating in one area.

Library orientation is necessary, but should be con-
fined to a brief tour (with no "busy-work" tests
afterwards.) I see no real value in summer reading lists.
Freshmen faculty advisors should be chosen with great
care. I would also like to see the advisor groups meet in a
more informal situation than in the past. The professors
need encouragement in this area.

2. Are freshmen hit with two much too soon or is the
present schedule of activities good? Elaborate.

DAWSEY: It is my opinion that the present schedule of
activities for freshmen is good. While I realize that there
is a great deal going on the first weeks of fall quarter, it
seems that these activities are necessary and helpful in
acquainting freshmen with the opportunities and
organizations around Scott and the Atlanta area in
general. While encouraged to do so, a student is not re-
quired to attend all of the activities but often is left to
decide for herself as to whether she would like to
participate or not.

I think most girls come to school excited about its
newness and prospects so that the adjustment comes
not to being so busy at first, but rather to the somewhat
slower pace of activities that occurs after Black Cat.
Moreover, while the number of orientation activities
does slow down, the workload soon begins to increase
after the first few weeks: a fact that would hamper many
girls from attending those activitiesthat they might have
engaged in otherwise.

FINE: When the freshmen arrive at Scott, they are un-
questionably confronted with a hectic schedule, but I do
not feel that it is "too much too soon." The times of the
activities have usually been well-planned there is
time for rest and privacy between the most important
and/or mandatory activities. Under the guidance of
capable sponsors, a freshman can choose which of the
activities are necessary or valuable to her as an in-
dividual. There is no coercion to attend every event. The
first weeks or months at Scott are primarily a time to
become adjusted to a new environment, make friends,
and find one's own pace for academic work. I, as a
freshman, did not want to spend weeks on end in orien-
tation. We must remember too that a little (or a lot) of
homesickness is almost unavoidable. I feel that the
present schedule helps alleviate this problem, and can
actually make these first weeks more exciting.

3. Detail any specific changes in Orientation you
would like to make.

DAWSEY: The changes I would like to make basically
concern the Orientation procedure with regard to
transfers. As transfers wish to be involved more with
their own classes, and understandably so, I feel it would
be beneficial for each class to have a class meeting dur-
ing one of the first few weeks of the academic year in
order to introduce and talk with the new members of the
respective classes. This way the girls would be
recognized as being a sophomore, junior, or senior
rather than assumed to be a freshman simply because
her face is new to the campus. Moreover, since the
needs of transfers are somewhat different from those of
freshmen, I feel it would be most helpful if girls who,
having transferred to Scott in their sophomore or junior
year, would be sponsors during their junior or senior
year of a group of incoming transfers. Having been a
transfer herself, she would know what these girls
needed to hear about the campus and courses more than
someone else.

FINE: This year's Orientation Council and its chairman in
particular did an excellent job. I do, however, see a need
for the following changes: (1) The class of 77 has
exhibited great enthusiasm and a strong sense of res-
ponsibility. I would like to give this class, as sophomores,
more responsibilities than the sophomore "helpers"
have had inthe past (and call them sophomore sponsors,
rather than "helpers ") (2) Orientation Council needs to
work more closely with Social Council in coordinating
social orientation, in order to improve the Ga. Tech rush
panel, and to expand the functions to other schools as
well.

(3) The freshmen need the opportunity to really know
their upperclassmen. This aspect of orientation has been
lacking in the past With the small number of Scott
students, the "Sister Class" idea could feasibly be put on
more of a one-to-one basis, with Orientation Council
coordinating on- and off-campus activities throughout
the year (4) The professors need to be encouraged tc
attend the non-academic functions planned with their
freshmen. There is still too little enthusiasm on then
part. (5)There is an overwhelming need for improvement
in the orientation of transfer students I would like to see
a member of the Council specifically in charge of
transfers' orientation, to treat it apart from that of the
freshmen Many upperclassmen are not even aware of
transfers in their classes.

Nancy Oliver
candidate for president of CA

ca

1 . How can CA serve as a unifying force on campus?
What would you do to encourage a sense of fellowship
among students of all denominations?

OLIVER: The organization of CA can be a vital unifying
force when it ceases to be just that: an organization. CA
is the reference frame for Christian activity on this cam-
pus and its unifying value comes when we recognize
that as Christians we are still individuals with specific
spiritual needs. It is the responsibility of CA to discover
those needs and to meet them in meaningful, creative
ways. The emphasis needs to be on an identifiable body
of Christ on this campus where there is a sense of com-
munion with Christ and commitment to one another.

I would suggest bi-monthly large fellowship meetings
where there is a place for Christians to come and simply
enjoy each other. I would also liketosee regularstudent-
led prayer breakfasts where we participate in a time of
prayer and sharing together.

2. Do you think CA should emphasize service projects,
religious programs, or both? Anything else?

OLIVER: Faith is something easily held on to as a
personal belief but faith matures when it is translated
into service. CA can't help but emphasize service if it isto
be dedicated to the goal of meeting the spiritual needs of
the campus. But perhaps that emphasis must first be
placed on what it means to serve each other here on our
campus. I would like to see projects such as the fielddays
with the retarded children developed to give op-
portunities on campus to share our time and love.

3. What specifically that CA has done this year would
you like to see continued next year? What additional
programs would you like to see begun?

OLIVER: It is easy to dismiss Christianity as the
"religious opiate of the people" something not quite
intellectually sound. I would like to see CA move in the
direction of offering speakers, discussion groups and
Bible studies which look at this question and see if the
Christian faith is intellectually viable. Scott is an
academic community dedicated to the search for truth. If
one is to be fair to oneself in that search, one must be
willing to be confronted with the truth of Christ A
coordination of complins campus-wide to really dig into
such issues as the historicity of Jesus and the validity of
his claims might be of value.

A theme of the reality of Christianity for individuals in
today's world might be a quarter long basis for Focus on
Faith. There needs to be a reevaluation of freshman
orientation to see how CA can best meet the needsof in-
coming freshmen. Above all, CA must become liberated
from the rigidity of programs and traditional methods to
become a tool that God can use to provide many diverse
and exciting ways of meeting Jesus and to help us learn
to care deeply for each other.

1 . How do you intend to increase student participation
in the various sports here (both as spectators and as
participants)?

WHITE: I believe that student participation and spec-
tation of sports is a very vital part of college life at Agnes
Scott. I realize that students have different degrees of
athletic ability and have different interests, but I do
believe that it is important for A A. to realize these facts
and offer the widest variety possible of different types of
activities.

I also think that publicity of activities could be em-
phasized so that students would at least be aware of the
variety of activities being offered to them. I am sure that
if the students that did participate enjoyed themselves
enough, they could serve as an important form of
publicity by encouraging others to participate. So, one of
my goals would be to make participation and spectation
of sports more enjoyable and desirable.

2. Do you feel there is a need for Scott to participate in
sports on an intercollegiate basis?

WHITE: This past year we have competed on an
intercollegiate basis in basketball and field hockey. I feel
that these activities have proven very successful and by
all means, should be continued next year. Intercollegiate
competition serves a very importantfunction of stimulat-
ing feelings of pride and loyalty for our school which I
believe is definitely needed. The spirit of sportsmanship
is also experienced which helps students get along with
each other. A.A. should be open to other areas of
intercollegiate activities such as tennis, track, swim-
ming, and volleyball if enough students show interest
and enthusiasm. A.A.'s main purpose is to serve the
needs of the students.

Nancy White
candidate for president of AA

3. What ideas do you have for ways in which to use the
money originally intended for tennis court lights?

WHITE. Even though this year's board is responsible for
the decision of how the money previously planned for
the tennis court lights will be used, I believe that
whatever project is chosen, it should serve the interest
of the students. A.A. is open to any ideas, preferably
related to athletic activities. A.A. would likethisgift to be
what the students want and need.

4. What do you want A.A. to accomplish under your
leadership?

WHITE: Most students have a misconception concerning
the goals of A.A A.A. is a service organization as well as
an organization to promote athletic activities. For exam-
ple, A.A. was a key initiator with the campus paper drive
and sponsored the Blood Drive. I believe that emphasis
should be placed on both of these goals serving the
community as well as serving the students.

I plan to tackle the job of A.A. President with en-
thusiasm and with a creative mind open to all types of
ideas. New ideas and the promotion of enthusiasm are
my two main goals for A.A. next term.

PROFILE/MARCH 26, 1974

Joyce McKee
candidate for editor of the PROFILE

profile

1. What do you think the students expect from the
PROFILE?

McKEE: I think students expect a concise, well-written
newspaper to inform them of campus events and op-
portunities in the Atlanta area, to entertain them by
focusing 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 newspaper to provide a forum when they wish to
express a particular viewpoint.

2. What do you think the paper should emphasize?

McKEE: The paper's first responsibility is to report news
accurately. This news should include an emphasis on
upcoming 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
happened in next week's issue. A newspaper is also res-
ponsible 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?

McKEE: In editorials, the editor of the newspapershould
be, at one time or other, a spokesman for creative,
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
particular 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 criticism.

4. What role should the PROFILE play in allowing the
campus community to express opinions?

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
editor, 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.

social
council

1 . How should Social Council work with orientation in
planning social activities for the freshmen? Which
ones do you think should be continued? Which new
ones should be added?

JORDAN: As far as Orientation is concerned, I feel that
we should eliminate all mention of social activities for
fear of destroying the academic atmosphere so sacred to
the Agnes Scott community. We wouldn't want our
freshmen to get the wrong idea.

MAGUIRE: Social Council has a place in helping Orien-
tation Council plan social activities for the freshmen;
however, I strongly feel that the scope of Social Council's
responsibilities in this area could and should be
widened. Currently, Social Council is responsible for
sponsoring an orientation tea on the day that the
freshmen arrive. I feel that this activity should be con-
tinued, because by giving a new girl who is somewhat
unsure of what awaits her, an opportunity to meet and
talk with some upperclassmen helps to make her feel at
, home. The tea also gives freshmen an opportunity to
meet other freshmen.

Social Council is also currently responsible for provid-
ing some type of activity on the first weekend of school
for those freshmen who do not wish to attend rush
parties. This activity is usually a movie, which has
proven to be very successful in the past, and which I am
n favor of keeping. The lastthing on which Social Coun-
cil works with Orientation Council is the Black Cat
Dance. I am strongly in favor of keeping the dance,
providing that the calibre of the dances of the past year
can be retained.

There are two other activities currently concerning
only Orientation Council that I believe should also
concern Social Council. These activities are the rush
panel with the fraternities, and the street dance held
with the Georgia Tech facet groups. The reason that I
think Social Council should work with Orientation Coun-
cil on these two issues is that Social Council is
traditionally responsible for organizing social activities
both on and off campus.

PARKER: I believe Social Council should work not only
with Orientation Council, but also with the Student
Government Association, the Faculty, and the Ad-
ministration to plan a totally correlated schedule of
orientation activities so that there would be a major
social experience for a new student to look forward to
each day and night. While an objective of all planning
groups should be to have a program of events in-
troducing the new student ot a positive perspective in
achieving academic success, the Orientation program
should also attempt to accommodate the emotional
trauma of a girl's leaving home. Forthis reason, I believe
more emphasis should be placed on the social aspects of
Orientation. All social occasions planned need to have a
goal-directed reason.

One such goal-directed function which Social Council
has sponsored in the past and which should be con-
tinued is the Faculty-Freshmen informal reception dur-
ing which the professors and administration are in-
troduced to the new students. The registration tea is
also important in welcoming new students to our
college. Additional night parties in dorms with skits in-
dicating what to expect in dorm life or dating "dos and
don'ts" would enlighten freshmen to certain aspects of
college life before the upperclassmen arrive.

2. Do you think the big dances are worth the time, ef-
fort, and money? Do they effectively unify the campus
community?

PAGE 5

JORDAN: I strongly support school-sponsored dances.
However, I would propose a few minor modifications
principally, a return to the extensive use of dance cards
at all ASC dances. This would enable everybody to
mingle with a large number of people, thereby unifying
the campus community. A re-institution of staglines
would allow those girls to attend who couldn't take time
out from their studies to invite someone. It also seems a
pity not to utilize our gym more often as it lends itself so
beautifully to decoration!

MAGUIRE: The big dances Black Cat and the Spring
Dance do involve a great deal of time, effort and
money; however, it is easy to see from the dances of the
past year that the means have definitely been justified by
the end results. The end results consist of campus unity
brought about in an enjoyable manner. As a current
member of Social Council, I can say from past experience
that the preparations for the dances are undertaken by
each member of Social Council willingly. No one minds
working for something that leads to so much enjoyment
for the entire campus community.

PARKER: Believing that there is always the place for the
formal social occasion, I consider the big dances to be
highlights of our college year. Thus far they have proven
to be successful and have increasingly unified our cam-
pus community by involving all segments of the college
population.

3. Detail the programs that you think Social Council
should sponsor. How can Social Council encourage
students to take advantage of these programs?

JORDAN: The highlight of my social calendar wouldbea
campus-wide "spend-the-night-party" in the gym with
free Cokes (and Tabs) and popcorn and all-night cartoons
as an added bonus. Other programs I would suggest in-
clude "Twilight Zone," "Soul Train," and "The Brady
Bunch" in order to appeal to all factions. Once fully im-
plemented, these programs will stimulate widespread
enthusiasm on their own merit, and further measures to
promote attendance will prove unnecessary.

MAGUIRE: In answer to this question, I want to say that
in my opinion, Social Council should continue with the
programs of the past year. These are the Orientation Tea,
the first-weekend entertainment for freshmen, mixers
with both fraternity and independent men at Georgia
Tech, Emory, and Georgia State, various other activities
given for the enjoyment of the students (such as date
dinners and folk singers), and of course the big dances
and the winter-quarter activity. The board members,
especially Eleni and the other senior members, have all
worked together in such a way that it's really hard to
thinkof anything newthat could improve Social Council.

I hope that students will feel freer next year to express
their opinions and suggestions about Social Council ac-
tivities to Social Council members, because student
participation and enthusiasm is what Social Council is
all about. The only way in which Social Council can en-
courage students to participate in activities that we
sponsor is to communicate to them the enthusiasm that
we feel whenever we plan activities. Social Council
really has a great potential for bringing students
together. The only way in which this potential can be
carried out is for the students to support Social Council
sponsored activities. The means for entertainment and
social activity are in the handsof the council. The results
(or how a social activity is supported and received) are in
the hands of the students.

PARKER: As in the past, I believe Social Council should
sponsor the dances, date-dinners, mixers, and possibly
additional recreational days at the beach, lake, or Stone
Mountain. Social Council should consider its major res-
ponsibility as the "caretaker of campus morale." While it
cannot and should not attempt to create a state of social
euphoria built around social occasions, it should
concern itself with a year's schedule of preplanned ac-
tivities including occasions varied for girls of all social
types.

Success of such events depends on greater
participation and involvement of all the classes. I believe
a survey should be made by the elected officials of Social
Council before the end of this year in an effort to
determine exactly what activities are most desired by the
campus community. With this important information,
Social Council would be able to make planned social oc-
casions more relevant to expressed desires. I should
then hope that relevancy of these suggested activities
will encourage greater participation.

1 . What can Arts Council do to encourage students to
take more advantage of the cultural opportunities in
the Atlanta area?

CLARK: To encourage students to take more advantage
of the cultural opportunities in the Atlanta area, I believe
that Arts Council should work on the areas of publicity
and arranged transportation. There is some publicity for
the metropolitan cultural events on the Arts Council
bulletin board but for those students who forget to look,
this is of no help. Perhaps these events could be an-
nounced in convocation briefly (for those who attend). To
try and get all of the other students aware of things that
are happening in the Atlanta area, signs could be placed
in dorms and in the cafeteria. Most important about
these signs is, they should include a brief explanation of
the event, such as what type of art work, what sort of
music, etc. for those who are unfamiliar but might be
interested.

Once a person is interested she needs a way to get
there. Car pools should try to be arranged. If there is a
great deal of interest shown (by a list of names perhaps)
a van or even a bus might be secured.

SCHUSTER: Primarily more broadcasting of what is go-
ing on in the area. Our main problem is that we have a
communications breakdown between here and the
Atlanta community; we have need of an effective com-
munications system. Arts Council should arrange
transportation to cultural affairs off-campus such as
symphonies, plays and exhibits around town.

TEIEN: Because of the wide variety of cultural op-
portunities open to students in the Atlanta area, I feel
strongly that everyone should become more aware of
just what is available. As an art major, I find it necessary
to look for outside activities at museums or other
institutions. I contend that the majority of students, not
just those who are arts majors, feel the need for this
cultural knowledge and entertainment.

Information should be made available to the campus.
Since students often do not see an Atlanta newspapet or
hear about special events, Arts Council can be an effec-
tive source for supplying our campus with this in-
formation. The Profile has functioned as a source for
publicizing such events as exhibits at the High Museum,
plays around town, concert dates and more. The booklet
being put out by Arts Council should prove a valuable key
to keeping all of us informed. Also, I suggest that by plan-
ning group activities (providing transportation, etc.)
students will be encouraged to seek out activities of
interest when otherwise, they might be discouraged to
go on their own.

WILLIAMS. In my opinion, Agnes Scott should "broaden
her horizons" and get out into the Atlanta community as
much as possible and, if possible, to participate in off-
campus workshops, productions, activities, etc. Bringing
ASC to Atlanta and Atlanta to ASC and thereby creating
a reciprocity between the two communities would be a
primary concern. The main problem, of course, is the
limitation of a student's time imposed by the proverbial
"paper chase" or "academic crunch." Unfortunately,
Arts Council can do little to relieve this limitation.
However, the council can be more efficient in com-
municating to the students just what opportunities are
immediately, or not so immediately, available.

All facets of the artistic life of Atlanta should be
offered to the attention of students. Students are varied
and, certainly, their interests would be varied. Arts
Council would have the responsibility of offering a
channel for cultural enrichment to any and all. After in-
suring student awareness, the council should devise a
more efficient system of transportation and negotiate
prices with off-campus concerns. Finally, Agnes Scott
should participate in the Free University system and co-
operate more fully with the other Atlanta area schools in
the endeavor to explore and revitalize the arts.

2. What can Arts Council do to encourage students to
attend cultural events here on the campus?

CLARK To encourage students to attend cultural events
on campus there needs to be greater publicity as well as
more familiarity with the groups themselves For those
who miss the bulletin boards in Buttrick or don't pick up a
copy of the weekly calendar there need to be plenty of
signs around campus and they need to be stressed in
convocation. Having these various groups perform or
speak in convocation will familiarize new students as
well as upperclassmen who have missed out on previous
events

Also, having teachers, whose classes are related to
the various groups, mention upcoming events with a
small explanation would be helpful Perhaps if there is a
member of the class who is in one of the group, her

arts
council

explanation would be helpful and encourage students to
attend these on-campus activities. Our own en-
thusiasm, pride, and personal willingness to tell others
will be a great help in encouraging students to attend
cultural events on campus.

SCHUSTER: Arts Council sponsors on-campus activities
and informs the campus community of these activitiets,
but what can they do to abolish apathy? They have
offered so much, and if interest would increase, they
could give so much more. Arts Council can go only so far,
then it is the responsibility of the individual student to
respond! We should take advantage of what we have.

TEIEN: Despite the extensive cultural activities open to
all of us on campus, regular and widespread attendance
is not a common habit of the student body. I do not feel
that apathy is the reason for any lack of attendance by
some students but rather an attitude that school work,
above all, should come first at all times. Thisattitude can
and should be changed so that everyone might feel free
to follow events of particular interest. I feel that the
faculty often encourages their students to attend lec-
tures, plays, symposiums, etc. pertaining to courses, and
this encouragement should apply to all events. Perhaps
Arts Council could play more of a part in urging everyone
to take advantage of valuable experiences and
entertainment while they are so close at hand

WILLIAMS: Again, there is the unavoidable problem of
time limitations. Fortunately, however, there is not the
problem of transportation and should not be the problem
of finances. Better communications through campus
publications and any other channels could only help in
encouraging students to attend campus activities. Com-
munications should be more informative attention to
the facts is of course necessary, but subjective ap-
praisals, background information, etc., would serve to
create interest and excitement comparable to the
interest and excitement felt by the students directly in-
volved in the activities.

Primarily, there should be an effort to increase co-
operation between the social sphere and academic
sphere on campus. Teachers could take a valuable part
by encouraging classes to attend campus events. Recep-
tions and fireside discussions would make events more
attractive and help the students get the most from what
they attend. It is very important that more students
become involved in campus activities; there are few
enough students so that each could and should play a
valuable part in some area of artistic expression on cam-
pus.

3. What specific activities of Arts Council do you want
to continue? What additional programs would you like
to see begun?

CLARK: Since I am a junior transfer student this year, I
have not been here to see a whole year's Arts Council ac-
tivities, such as the Arts Festival in the Spring quarter
This activity sounds like one that should definitely be
continued. It tries to join and interrelate all of the fine
arts groups on campus for the students as well as for the
public.

The theatrical productions, musical productions,
dance productions of our own campus are excellent as
are productions brought from off campus to be enjoyed
by the student body as well as the general public.

I feel that there is already a good deal of enthusiasm
and participation of the student body in on campus
cultural events. As a new program I would like to see the
fine art groups interrelated with their related classes
more. I think that if these groups demonstrated or
performed for classes the students would become more
informed of the responsibilities and functions of the
groups as well as perhaps being encouraged to join the
groups and become actively involved themselves

SCHUSTER There is a lot of talent on our campus, un-
fortunately we rarely get to see much of it. More of this
should be exposed: on-campus Glee Club concerts, a
continuation of Dance Group's performance, more

concerts with Tech and Emory. B.O.Z should be brought
more into the light. Any program that exposes us to the
talents of other Scotties should be activated.

TEIEN: The print sales held several times during theyear
offer opportunities for students to see artists' work and
to obtain reproductions. Films, some of which will be
shown this spring, will provide opportunities which are
ordinarily offered off campus. The involvement of Agnes
Scott arts groups, namely the Music Club, with the
Atlanta Symphony will surely prove to be profitable.
Moreover, the booklet now being prepared by Arts Coun-
cil will be an informative source of events on campus and
in the city. I strongly feel that this booklet shouldbecon-
tinued.

Other programs that could be developed include
organized field trips or simply available transportation
for special events. Also, speakers might be invited mon-
thly to lecture or demonstrate various fields of the arts.
Thirdly, I suggest that at some point during the year Arts
Council sponsor a competition among students in the
form of a symposium. Not only would each field of Arts
Council be represented, but the entire scope of events
could widen and Arts Council's purpose would be fully
exercised.

WILLIAMS: The sponsoring of the Spring Writer's Fes-
tival and of lectures by visiting authorities would be con-
tinued; events of this nature help in strengthening our
contact with the artistic life off-campus, which is
valuable from the standpoint of our own enrichment and
also from the standpoint of increased community atten-
tion to the productivity of ASC as an indispensable part of
Atlanta culture. The opportunity to usher at various
events in Atlanta is valuable for the same reasons.

Receptions for on-campus events should becontinued
and increased because they enable participants and
spectators to share opinions and ideas with oneanother.
In my opinion, the greatest contribution of any arts coun-
cil would be to encourage creativity on the part of each
and every student and to let those who already have the
inclination to creatively find the proper channel or
channels for her ability. Programs encouraging new and
varied participation whether they be in the form of
workshops, discussion groups, readings, sessions, etc.,
would be attempted.

Personally, I would like to see a stretchingof oldboun-
daries in the arts to include such events as film ap-
preciation workshops, interpretative dance sessions,
and campus-wide writing workshops. The possibilities
are limitless.

4. Discuss the possibilities of overlapping the various
arts on campus. Do you see any need or advantage in
doing this?

CLARK. Each art should be worked at diligently until a
desired degree of perfection is reached. In this striving
for perfection I believe that the various arts should
definitely be mingled and overlapped. The advantage to
overlapping the arts is a greater understanding of each
art in relation to other arts. In seeing how dance is
related to music, dramatics to dance, or art to music, one
can derive more pleasure from all of them. Also, in view-
ing one's particular art with others the imagination is
stimulated as to many different ways to interpret the
arts.

On campus the various arts could be overlapped by
presenting programs with several of the fine arts groups
involved. These groups should not merely perform in an
isolated way by themselves but share in their produc-
tions with other groups. The Dolphin Club or Dance
Group could perform to the musical groups or an artist
could strive to produce the same mood of a dancer in
paint. There could be various ways to have the various
arts interrelate and harmonize with each other

SCHUSTER If other areas of the campus arts could be
utilized together, they should. Perhaps the production by
Blackfriars of B.O.Z. work or the promotion of art shops
on campus could be done. Again, the individual student
must make an effort or all programs and activities go
unattended Arts Council could do so much if given a
chance or interest.

TEIEN. Arts Council combines each specific field on cam-
pus into one group. I feel that this unity among
organizations is advantageous Contact among the
groups allows an awareness of what activities are taking
place on campus and in the Atlanta area and enables the
organizations to work as a whole for the student body. I
have no doubt, however, that two or more individual
groups could work together beneficially

For example, Dance Group and Music Club can
successfully and cooperatively work together to stage

better productions. Lecture committee working with the
art students might succeed in inviting more speakers
connected with art. Even more inter-relation and
cooperation would increase interest on campus and
would be more advantageous to the groups themselves.

WILLIAMS: Certainly, there would be an advantage in
"overlapping the arts." Such an overlap would en-
courage reciprocity and co-operation between the varied
arts on campus. Hopefully more students, especially
those who normally remain on the "sidelines, "would
have the opportunity to participate. Think, for example,
of the interesting events that could result from an
overlapping of the arts of writing and dancing, dancing
andmusic, writing andtheplasticandvisual arts . . the
possibilities are infinite.

Also, the more comprehensive productions would
better reveal to the Atlanta community the range and
vitality of the artistic facet of our campus life. We could
become as valuable to the community as it is to us; in-
novation and vitality in the arts would be of interest and
importance to those who follow the arts.

Old veins need new blood. If an overlapping could help
facilitate the flow of "new blood" into the "old veins" of
ASC and of the Atlanta cultural establishment, I'm all for
it.

Symposium probes land use

Regional planning expert and
landscape architect Ian McHarg
will kick off the Atlanta En-
vironmental Symposium Tues.,
Apr. 2 at 8:15 in Gaines Chapel.
The two-day symposium is the
second annual one and centers
this year on "Land Use: Georgia
and the Nation." Mr. McHarg's
topic is "Design with Nature and
the Urban Setting."

Mr. McHarg, chairman of the
department of landscape
architecture and regional plan-
ning at the University of
Pennsylvania, is the author of
the revolutionary Design with
Nature. He has done studies for
Interstate Highway 95 routes,
ecological studies for major U.S.
cities such as Minneapolis-St.
Paul and landscape plans for
Washington, D.C.

On the program as a commen-
tator with Mr. McHarg will be
Atlanta architect and regional
planner Alastair Black, a former
student of Mr. McHarg's.

Russell W. Peterson will begin
the morning session on Apr. 3,
speaking at 9:1 5 on "The Politics
of Land Use." Mr. Peterson
spent 26 years with the DuPont
Co. where he led research on
"Dacron" polyester fiber. He left
DuPont in 1969 to become
governor of Delaware. Curren-
tly, Mr. Peterson is chairman of
the President's Council on En-
vironmental Equality.

Bobby Rowan, gubernatorial
candidate, will serve as
commentator with Mr. Peterson.

Ralph Nader speaks at 1 1 a m
on "The Corporation and Land
Use." The consumer advocate
graduated magna cum laude
from Princeton University in
1955 and then took his law
degree at Harvard Law School.
Mr. Nader first received public
notice in 1965 with the
publication of Unsafe at Any

Speed, an account of the
designed-in dangers of
American automobiles. Since
then, Mr. Nader has organized
young professionals, dubbed
"Nader's Raiders," into groups
researching public interest is-
sues ranging from air and water
pollution to soil and food con-
tamination, to abuses of health
and safety to corporate
monopolies. Public Interest
Research Groups (PIRGs) are
local student consumer groups
with a nationwide membership
of over 400,000, whose foun-
dation Mr. Nader has en-
couraged

Stewart Udall, former
Secretary of the Interior and
author of 1976: Agenda for
Tomorrow and The Quiet
Crisis, will speak at 1 p.m. on
"Eastern Wilderness and the
Wilderness System." The
conservationist has stated, "We
have elected to become a con-
sumer society which measures
its success by the fulfillment of
private 'wants' . . . and we have,
in the process, neglected those
common necessities that build
healthy, balanced com-
munities."

Mr. Udall will be followed at 2
p.m. by Alfred Heller, author of
the California Tomorrow Plan.
This plan explores what action
California would have to take to
insure the quality of life there in
the future. Mr. Heller will speak
on "Comprehensive Planning
and Citizen Action."

Earl Starnes, director of the
Florida Division of State Plan-
ning, will speak at 3 p.m. on "The
State as Planning Agent." The
director of Georgia's
Department of Natural
Resources, Joe Tanner, will
comment.

The Symposium will conclude
with remarks by James Mackay,
program moderator.

Needed: new value system

Consumer advocate, Ralph Nader

photo Terry Arthur

by Robert Leslie

Historically, comprehensive
planning for the use of land in
America has been minimal. This
can be attributed to several
characteristics of our national
and regional personality.
Private Ownership

First, we have always
accepted the principle of private
ownership of property and land.
Hence, restrictions on land use
typically are seen as in-
fringements on the right to
private property.

...Americans have thought
o' these rights as coming
from the land itself "up from
the bottom" like minerals or
crops. As a result, land-use
regulations have been
viewed as restrictions on
each landowner's pre-exis-
ting rights rather than as
grants of rights he did not
have before. 1

Right of Mobility

In addition, Americans value
the right of mobility, which some
would argue is restricted when
communities, regions and
certainly states begin to plan for
development or for the limitation
of it

(The Supreme) Court long ago
recognized that the nature of
our Federal Union and our
constitutional concepts of
personal liberty unite to re-
quire that all citizens be free
to travel throughout the
length and breadth of our
land uninhibited by statutes,
rules or regulations which
unreasonably burden or res-
trict this movement 2

Community Rights

Modern arguments point out
that these rights are still valid;
but due to nationwide changes
m population densities, the
development of large cities, the
decrease in open land and the
large scale inter relationships

between regions of peoples,
community and regional rights
now exist.

Community rights of some
sort are well established in
almost all parts of our nation, for
communities make zoning laws
which determine to some extent
the way certain land is to be
used. And communities do
exercise the right of emminent
domain in taking certain
properties for a better use by the
community.

Why regulate?

The questions to be answered
are: Why create land use
regulations at all? and then, In
what form and to what extent
should they be applied? The crux
of the matter is actually the
answer to the first of these ques-
tions.

Briefly, it might go like this.
Laws are written to reflect the
values and principles of a society
values and principles which
are of such importance to
deserve codification. As these
values and principles evolve, the
legal statutes change ac-
cordingly. Land use legislation is
possible only if society judges
regulation to be desireable and
necessary.

Problems

Proponents of comprehensive
land-use planning commonly
mention a new value system
which includes protection of
national and state forests and
parks, coastal and mountain
areas, and desert and lake
regions; and which provides for
planned development of urban
areas

This new value system fails to
mesh with the economic orien-
tation of our society Almost
everyone attributes some value
to our lend resources and feels
that governments should move
f o protect these areas, however,
in terms of dollars, it is difficult to
assess the monetary value of a

swamp, beach or tidewater
zone. How much do we value our
sites of historical significance?
What is the dollar value to
society of such intangibles?

Both as individuals and as a
society we are unaccustomed to
answering such questions.
There is no market place for the
exchange of goods like swamps
or rivers. Yet these dollar values
are necessary, at least in
American society as we know it
today, for development (dams,
highways, housing, etc.) can
directly affect the existance of
such items. In the trade-off that
inevitably occurs, if the
development is judged to be of
greater economic value than
that which it replaces or
adversely affects, the
development will proceed.
Possible Solutions

Developing methods of ac-
counting which substitute a
monetary index for intangible
values may be one solution.
Another may be articulating the
new value system. Ian McHarg
thinks we need a change in
outlook toward land and its use.
He says,

We have but one explicit
model of the world and that is
built upon economics. The
present face of the land of the
free is its clearest testimony,
even as the Gross National
Product is the proof of its
success. Money is our
measure, convenience is its
cohort, the short term is its
span, and the devil may take
the hindmost is the morality. 3

This year the Atlanta En-
vironmental Symposium seeks
to discover how we value the
land and how we may cope with
changes that our values imply.

Advice to a Prophet

When you come, as you soon must, to the streets of our city,
Mad-eyed from stating the obvious,
Not proclaiming our fall but begging us
In God's name to have self-pity,

Spare us all word of the weapons, their force and range,
The long numbers that rocket the mind,
Our slow, unreckoning hearts will be left behind,
Unable to fear what is too strange.

Nor shall you scare us with talk of the death of the race.
How should we dream of this place without us?
The sun mere fire, the leaves untroubled about us,
A stone look on the stone's face?

Speak of the world's own change. Though we cannot conceive
Of an undreamt think, we know to our cost

How the dreamt cloud crumbles, the vines are blackened by frost,
How the view alters. We could believe,

If you told us so, that the white-tailed dee r will slip
Into perfect shade, grown perfectly shy,
The lark avoid the reaches of our eye,
The jack-pine lose its knuckled grip

On the cold ledge, and every torrent burn

As Xanthus once, its gliding trout

Stunned in a twinkling. What should we be without

The dolphin's arc, the dove's return,

These things in which we have seen ourselves and spoken?

Ask us, prophet, how we shall call

Our natures forth when that live tongue is all

Dispelled, that glass obscured or broken

In which we have said the rose of our love and the clean
Horse of our courage, in which beheld
The singing locust of the soul unshelled,
And all we mean or wish to mean.

Ask us, ask us whether with the worldless rose
Our hearts shall fail us; come demanding
Whether there shall be lofty or long standing
When the bronze annals of the oak-tree close.

-Richard Wilbur

Reprinted from The Poems of Richard Wilbur

A "prophet" according to the Oxford English Dictionary is one
who "predicts or foretells what is going to happen" or is the "ac-
credited spokesman" for some group or cause. The word is from the
Greek, meaning "before-speaker" and carries the same force in the
Wilbur poem. The prophet, whether ancient or modern, speaks to
the "before" of our lives - - what istocome and what is lasting rather
than to the surface and to the transitory.

Each of the men who speaks during the Environmental
Symposium is a prophet - - each will talk about thefuture; hopefully,
each will address things more lasting than transitory and values
more rooted than shallow.

As Wilbur's poem states, we see human experience reflected in
the natural world about us. As the rose or horse or singing locust of
the natural world mirrors us, we see the reflection, speak it, and see
the world and ourselves afresh. The image turns constantly back on
itsetf - - constantly fresh because it is self-renewing - - both to itself
and to ourselves.

The experience is a spell, and it is far more fitting that the poet
speak to its mystery than one who knows only numbers, whether the
numbers be statistics or dollars and cents. For to be a prophet, as
Gloucester says in King Lear, is to "see it feelingly." The prophet
who knows clearly in the way in which knowledge and being are
inseparable does not speak as if numbers were the sole measure of
being; he cannot because they are not. Our hearts are "unrec-
koning," incapable of toting up the facts and figures of existence.
Neither numbers nor the inconceivable "death of the race" approach
the core where one's life matters and matters deeply.

It is clear throughoutthepoemthattheprophetcannot "proclaim"
but must speak and tell and ask and demand. The prophet can con-
vince noone; we can only convince ourselves. Whatever the prophet
asks, the answer is within us; we can only call it forth with "that live
tongue." If that mirror is lost, then we have lost our way of response
to poet or prophet; we are diminished. The function of the
poet/prophet is to remind us over and over again of what mannerof
men we are. As the scop retells Beowulf's story before the old king
goes to fight the dragon, so must we have a mirror to hold before
ourselves.

We hope prophets and not proclaimers come tothe Environmental
Symposium and that sometime during that day anda half, a mirror is
held before us, that we may see "all we mean or wish to mean."
Somewhere, among the technical jargon of "sophisticated cost-ac-
counting systems" andcatch-all phrases like "thequality of life," we
hope to hear someone speak to those values which are transcendent
- - which make us what we are.

Then we will count the Symposium a success.

To the Editor

We feel that it is unfortunate
that those supporting a new
drinking policychose, "Maturity,
Responsibility, and Represen-
tative Government," to sum-
marize the defeat of RC165.
Because there was not an
overwhelming majority, only a
plurality, we feel that the
students who did not support the
RC are entitled to representation
by both the Student Government
Association and student
publications. The freshmen and
sophomore classes have a
greater number of students than
the juniors and seniors, but less
representation in Rep Council;
therefore, the student body vote
according to classes seems ac-
curately represented by the tie in
the Rep Council vote.

Businesses
and students
ore sponsors

Mr. Leslie and Mr. Orr found
businesses willing to finance the
Symposium this year as they did
last year. These firms include: C
& S National Bank, Decatur
Federal Savings, The First
National Bank, Fulton National
Bank, The Georgia Conservancy,
Phipps Land Company, Standard
Federal Savings, and Agnes
Scott College.

New sponsors for the
Symposium were found among
student organizations. By
appealing to boards and clubs on
campus, Mr. Orr and Mr. Leslie
raised over $1200. Those con-
tributing were: Arts Council,
Athletic Association, Aurora,
Blackf riars, Board of Student Ac-
tivities, Chimo, Christian As-
sociation, and the Classes of '74,
75, 76 and 77.

Also, Honor Court, Interdorm,
Mortar Board, Orientation Coun-
cil, Profile, Rep Council, Social
Council and Spirit Committee.
The budget for this year's En-
vironmental Symposium was
around $8,000.

Georgia
Tuition grant
continued

In the tuition equalization
grant program, for Georgia
residents attending private or
independent colleges in
Georgia, groundwork was laid
for increasing the annual grant
in the future, but funds were ap-
propriated for continuation of
the program at the $400-per-
year-per-student level. For the
first time since the beginning of
the program, all undergraduate
students at private colleges in
the state who are residents of
Georgia will be eligible for the
tuition equalization grant

The main arguments sup-
porting RC165 have been the
recognition of maturity and the
acceptance of responsibility by
all the students, but both are
questionable when Honor Court
finds it necessary to ask the
students to leave their
silverware and dishes in the din-
ing hall, on the same page where
the above slogan appeared: "It
can only be considered stealing
and must be stopped."

With maturity and res-
ponsibility comes the ability to
respect the rights and opinions
of others, including the right of
an officerto vote as she feels will
benefit a corporate body, not just
one faction of the community.

Sincerely,
Lucy Burch

which will feature the talents of
both professors and students.
Admission is 250.

Following the talent show,
there will be a "Malt Shop"
offering for purchase ice cream
cones, malteds, sundaes, and
shakes. The location of the shop
will be announced later.

The events planned for Friday
are an Open-Air Fair and a ban-
quet. The Fair will be held on the
quad from 2-4 p.m. and will in-
clude rides, refreshments,
games of skill and chance,
performing professors,
purchasable art work, and a
fortuneteller.

The banquet will be held in the
dining hall from 5-6 p.m. Ad-
mission is 500. Members of the
sophomore class will serve as
waitresses during the banquet.
Starting at 5:30 p.m., members

eligible to bid at the auction, and
neighboring university
fraternities have been notified of
the auction.

Following dinner, the
drawings for raffle winners will
occur. The objects being raffled
range from roses to "home-
baked" cakes to dinners with
professors. Tickets may be
purchased any time prior to the
drawings and vary in price.

All the proceeds from these
activities will be donated to the
recipient decided upon by the
student body in a vote before
Thursday. A committee was es-
tablished by the junior class to
investigate worthy projects.
Based on the research of this
cdmmittee, the junior class
narrowed the choice to two
potential recipients: a day center
for multi-handicapped children
and a Saigon hospital for
children awaiting surgery made
necessary by napalm bombing
by American troops.

Applicants arrive Thurs.
for weekend at Agnes Scott

by Delia McMillan

The Agnes Scott campus com-
munity is hosting its annual Ap-
plicants Weekend April 4-6. The
weekend furnishes a unique op-
portunity for applicants to visit
the campus and get a glimpse of
college life by living in a dorm,
attending classes, talking with
professors, and engaging in a
variety of planned activities.

Under the auspices of Mortar
Board, the event proved a
tremendous success last year.
Of those who attended the 73
weekend, 87% entered Agnes
Scott as freshmen this year.

Students will be met as they
arrive by train, car, or plane on
Thursday. After supper in the
dining hall, they will be
entertained at the Junior Jaunt
Talent Show and the Blanket
Concert on the Quad (for entire
community) that follows.

Friday activities will enable
applicants to attend classes and
to have appointments, if desired,
with various members of the
faculty. Chapel will be selected
portions of the Sophomore
Creative Arts program from the
Parents Weekend. After lunch,
conferences with department
chairmen will be held from 2:00-
3:30.

For most of the afternoon,
students will be free to tour the
campus and Decatur. That even-
ing they will be able to choose
from several planned activities
including shopping in Atlanta,

Saturday morning, applicants
will attend a program in Dana at
which they will be introduced to
Dr. Perry, representatives of the
Dean of Students' Office, the
dean of the Faculty's Office, and
the newly elected heads of SGA,
Honor Court, and Orientation
Council. After coffee there will
be a Dramatic Arts Show by the
various groups on campus. The
weekend will end after lunch on
Saturday.

Mortar Board has mailed 241

invitations. Agnes Scott
students will have an op-
portunity to participate in the
weekend by serving as
hostesses and providing
transportation to and from the
campus. Students who cannot
serve as hostesses or provide
transportation may offer their
extra bed for an applicant to use
during the weekend.

Mary Margaret MacLauchlin,
who is co-ordinating the ac-
tivities for the prospective
students, emphasized that
student contacts and visiting on
the campus make the College
more attractive to applicants.

Help asked

Soviet author

The following text is an appeal
for help from Andrey
Sakharov, the champion of
civil rights in USSR.

"Yesterday's official article in
Pravda "The way of treason"
concludes with the words:
"Solzhenitsyn has received that
for which he strove, the fate of a
traitor, from whom every honest
man can only turn away in anger
and contempt "

However all those who know
Solzhenitsyn's book, which has
provoked such anger on the part
of the leading politicians of US-
SR, know that his "treason"
consists in having revealed to
the whole world and with amaz-
ing force, monstrous crimes
perpetrated in the USSR in a
recent past. Tens of millions of
innocent people, communists
and non communists, atheists
and believers, members of the
intelligentsia, workers and
peasants, have become the vic-
tims of a terror adorned with the
slogan of social justice. We
demand:

1 That "The GULAG
ARCHIPELAGO" be published in
the USSR and made available to
every citizen

2 That the archives and other
material giving a complete
image of Cheka, GPU, NKVD and
MGB, be published.

3. That an international collec-
tive court of justice be created to
examine the crimes which have
been committed.

4. That Solzhenitsyn be
protected against persecution
and be permitted to return to his
country

In advance, we reject any
attempt to declare that an
international collecting of
signatures under this appeal
would amount to interfering in
the interior affairs of USSR,
since not only the citizens of
USSR have become the victims
of terror, but also hundreds of
thousands of citizens of other
countries. All men on earth need
to know the truth about what
happened in USSR.

We ask that our appeal be dif-
fused by all information media.
We also ask all cultural, social
and religious organizations to
create national committees for
collecting of signatures below
the enclosed appeal.

Signed

Andrey Sakharov, Elena
Bonner, Vladimir Maksimov,
Mikhail Argurskiy, Boris
Shragin, Pavel Litvmov, Yuny
Orlov, Rev Sergey Zheludkov,
Anatoliy Marchenko.

senior residents retire

by RUTH McMULLEN

Several faculty appointments
for the 1974-75 academic ses-
sion have been made, Julia
Gary, dean of the faculty,
revealed.

In the chemistry department,
Miss Marylu Benton will replace
Miss Alice Cunningham who
will be on leave during 1 974-75
session. Miss Benton graduated
from Agnes Scott in 1971 and
obtained her doctorate in
chemistry at the University of
Texas in Austin. She will be a
lecturer.
Mrs. Claire Hubert of the

by ANN FINCHER

Mrs. Virginia Hall, assistant to
the dean of students, will be
retiring at the end of the 1973-
74 session. The Profile has also
learned that the dean of
students, Roberta K. Jones, has
informed Mrs. Concepcion Leon
and Mrs. Mary Queen of their
retirement at the end of the
1 974-75 session.

The retirement policy for the
college at this time is retirement
at age 65 with the option of
yearly extensions. These exten-
sions, which may be granted by
the Board of Trustees on the
recommendation of the

President, are for a period of one
year and may be granted up to
age 70. The policy, according to
Miss Jones, is not new.

see page 2
for comment

The policy was given a new
interpretation three years ago
with which Dr. Perry concurs.

Miss Jones stated that her as-
sistants who reside in the
dormitories have been informed
of this policy and added that she
feels in her "particular area the
age 65 is preferable." She

Cost selected
for Blithe Spirit

by PATTY PEARSON

The cast has been selected for
Blackfriars' spring production,
Blithe Spirit, which opens May
2. Bungi Harris portrays Ruth
Condomine; Ray Sparenburg,
Charles Condomine; Ruth
McManus, Madame Arcati;
Sarah Brooke, Elvira; Kate Kus-
srow, Edith; Carolyn McKinney,
Mrs. Bradman; and Dave Bryant
plays Dr. Bradman.

Blithe Spirit is "an im-
probable farce" in 3 acts.
Written by Noel Coward, this
play is not as sophisticated as
many of his other works, but is
considered one of his funniest.
Charles Condomine is a novelist
writing a book on the occult and
wants to learn the jargon for his
book. He calls in a medium,

Mme. Arcati, to give a seance. In
addition to his wife, Ruth, he
also invites his friends, Dr. and
Mrs. Bradman. Condomine
wants to prove Mme. Arcati a
hoax, but the tables are turned
when Mme. Arcati calls up the
spirit of Condomine's first wife,
Elvira, who tries to kill Charles so
that he can live in ghostly hap-
piness with her. Elvira kills Ruth
instead and they both haunt
their ex-husband.

As always, Blackfriars
welcomes help for set construc-
tion. Help is also needed with the
costumes, which will be
designed by Ruth McAliley, and
are dated to the late Thirties,
when the play was first
performed. Shop days are 3:30-
5:30 every afternoon.

recalled Dr. Alston's statement
at the time of his retirement that
he did not wish to put "the stamp
of age on the college." Dean
Jones continued that the senior
residents, upon her recommen-
dation to the President and his
to Board of Trustees, may be
offered the option of accepting a
one-year appointment following
the academic year in which the
sixty-fifth birthday occurs.

Dean Jones, in response to
questioning about the possibility
of more than one annual "ap-
pointment" following age 65,
stated that at this time she has
no intention of recommending
additional appointments after
age 66. She added that her
successor will determine at her
discretion any recommen-
dations for additional one-year
extensions.

Miss Jones emphasizes that
the policy being exercised
eliminates "value judgments"
by putting "everyone in the
same basket." Mrs. Hall, Mrs.
Leon and Mrs. Queen are all
retiring at the same age.

The search for someone to
replace Mrs. Hall has begun ac-
cording to Miss Jones. She
explained that in this search
there are no specific criteria
although applicants over 60
years of age are generally not
considered. There is "no
minimum age," and Dean Jones
stated that she has one applicant
who will be obtaining her
undergraduate degree this year
and will be doing her graduate
work at Ga. State next year. The
Dean of Students emphasized
that "the options for the position
are open." and pointed out other
campuses with graduate
program students as residents.

French department will spend
next year studying in France.
Mrs. Frances Calder, former as-
sistant professor in the Agnes
Scott French department, will fill
Mrs. Hubert's position for the
year. Miss Gary stated that
"before she left, Mrs. Calder was
a valuable member of the faculty
and a splendid French teacher."
Mrs. Calder, who obtained her
doctorate from Yale, is returning
to Agnes Scott in a parttime
capacity.

Mrs. Dunstan is retiring from
the Spanish department and will
be replaced by Mrs. Margaret
Norris. Mrs. Norris obtained her
master's degree from Stanford
University and iscurrently a can-
didate for her doctorate from
Duke University. Mrs. Norris will

be a lecturer parttime in the
Spanish department. Her hus-
band, an attorney, will be work-
ing for an Atlanta law firm.

Mrs. Pepe, professor of art,
will be on leave during 1974-75
session. Miss Evelyn Mitchell,
as lecturer, will fill the vacancy
in the art department. She ob-
tained her master's degree from
Howard University and will be
teaching a new course dealing
with the art of black cultures.

Miss M. Kathryn Glick,
chairman of the Department of
Classical Languages and
Literatures is retiring at the end
of this academic session. Join-
ing the department is Miss Gail
Cabisius who completed her
undergraduate work at Smith

THE PROFILE/ APRIL 5, 1974

Unjust retirement Conservation groups attack

Nixon environmental policy

The Dean of Students Office affirms that its retirement policy isthe
same as other areas of the College: "The calendar year in which the
sixty-fifth birthday comes is the retirement year, and after that an
employee may be elected a year at a time until the seventieth year."
Yet in practice, the supposed uniformity does not appear - - at least
not regarding our senior residents. The statement of retirement
policy tothe senior residents does not imply the possibility of election
to age 70 on an annual basis.

This separation and difference which distinguishesthe retirement
policy for the senior residents seems particularly unjust in that the
policy with its elimination of "value judgements" by "putting
everyone in the same basket" discounts the individual. Agnes Scott
College has always chosen the individual rather than the "basket,"
and this choice has been a source of pridefor members of the college

The senior residents have much to offer us in their experience and
individuality. Dean Jones, commenting on the retirement policy,
quoted President Alston's statement at the time of his retirement.
Dr Alston declared that he did not want to put the "stamp of age on
the college." Dr. Alston's decision may be exemplary, but it is not ab-
solute. Vitality is difficult to measure chronologically. For some
members of our campus the vitality seems ageless, for other
members the vitality has never been born.

The current retirement policy of the area of Dean of Students
seems to operate like a computerized labeling system which turns
out labels reading "age 65 - - used up, finished - - DISCARD " This
premise that all faculties collapse at age 65 seems faulty. Age dis-
crimination is an inequality which should b be as offensive to us as
any inequality we decry, and we must accord our senior residents
the same individuality in retirement accorded other members of our
campus.

Editorial policy

It is the policy of the Profile to print all news of the campus and
hopefully to bring Agnes Scott into contact with the outside world
from time to time.

Letters to the editor are encouraged; we hope students and faculty
will feel free to express their views in the newspaper. The deadline
for each issue appearing on Friday is the Monday before, e.g. the
deadline for this issue was Mon., Apr. 1 . Letters should be put in box
764 before 5 p.m. any Monday to appear in the Friday edition.

The newspaper accepts only signed letters although names may
sometimes be withheld upon request. We hope that each student in
our academic community will feel free to express her opinion and
accept responsibility for it. Letters will be subject to normal editing
(spelling, punctuation, etc.) and should not exceed 1 Vi typed pages
(375 words). Letters from the same individual will not be printed in
consecutive weeks. This will allow for healthy exchange on the
editorial page but is intended to prevent monopolization by any
single individual.

As always, our staff needs enlarging. Reporters, typists, anyone
interested in doing movie or book reviews, and fledgling columnists
to provide humor and/or cover the political scene are all needed. We
are especially anxious to recruit a cartoonist and someone interested
in doing reviews of books or movies.

Staff meetings are Tuesdays at 1 1 :30 in the Pub. No experience
necessary.

Washington, D.C. (March 21)
The six largest membership
conservation organizations in
America today denounced
reported plans by the Nixon Ad-
ministration to undermine the
Clean Air Act and exempt all
"energy-related" projects from
provisions of the National En-
vironmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Leaders of the National
Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club,
National Audubon Society,
Wilderness Society, Izaak
Walton League of America, and
the American Forestry As-
sociation appeared together in a
press conference held at the
National Press Club and
mounted a coordinated defense
against environmental attacks
waged by spokesmen for in-
dustrial and commercial
interests, members of the
congress, and some officials
within the Administration. They
declared that the nation can

develop essential additional
energy resources and still have a
clean environment.

In a joint statement, the
spokesmen said they "will op-
pose by any means legally
available to us any attempt to
sacrifice public health and en-
vironmental quality on the altar
of the energy crisis or for excess
corporate profits."

"Conservationists have
always contended that the cost
of preventing pollution and
preserving the landscape must
be built into the price of
products, including energy," the
group emphasized. "As
everyone knows, the prices of
coal, crude oil, and petroleum
products have skyrocketed. The
margins of profit are now more
than adequate to cover the costs
of preventing pollution and, in
the case of coal mining, to res-
tore the land which has already
been stripped and prevent future
damage. To sell out the en-
vironment would constitute a
monstrous fraud upon the
public.

"Environmentalists have
leaned over backward to be
cooperative while America ad-
justed to energy shortages that
came as no surprise to us," the

cooperating organizations
declared. "Our only surprise
was that Government was
caught with its pants down. We
have welcomed and supported
energy conservation measures
because we knew they were
necessary for the future welfare
and stability of the American
economy regardless of what the
Arab nations do. However, we
strongly oppose any long-term
variances. Apparently, our
moderation and cooperation
have been mistaken as
agreement to weakening of our
basic environmental protection
laws."

"We call upon President Nixon
and his advisors to start listening
to the public instead of solely to
those who would exploit the land
and its resources at the expense
of the public," the conservation
leaders declared. 'The real
question the public should ask
our policy makers is why we can-
not have both orderly and well-
planned growth and
development and a good natural
environment as well. We do not
have to be placed in the position
of choosing either orderly
growth and development or a
clean environment. We can have
both.

Miss Chung, at the age of 25, is critically acclaimed as one of the
world's finest violinists. The youngest daughter of one of the most
prominent musical families in the Orient, she attracted worldwide
attention in 1967 when she tied for first place with Pinchas
Zukerman, in the Leventritt International Competition.

Her European debut in 1970 with the London Symphony under
Andre Previn, brought her dozens of concert bookings and a long-
term recording contract with London-Decca. She has appeared in
recitals and with major orchestras in the United States from coast to
coast.

Miss Chung began the study of the violin at the age of 6, and after
immigrating to this country in 1961, became a student at the
Juilliard School of Music.

For the session starting July, 1974,
Euromed will assist qualified Amer-
ican students in gaining admission
to recognized overseas medical
schools.

And that's just the beginning.

Since the language barrier constitutes
the preponderate difficulty in succeed-
ing at a foreign school, the Euromed
program also includes an intensive
12-16 week medical and conversa-
tional language course, mandatory for
all students. Five hours daily, 5 days
per week (12-16 weeks) the course is
given in the country where the student
will attend medical school.

In addition, Euromed provides stu-
dents with a 12-16 week intensive cul-
tural orientation program, with Amer-
ican students now studying medicine
in that particular country serving as
counselors.

Senior or graduate students currently
enrolled in an American university are
eligible to participate in the Euromed

a grade point ratio of 2.40 and
have maintained this minimum
level of grade average for the last
six quarters in residence. She
must also have been on the

Phi Beta Kappa was es-
tablished in 1776 as the first

honorary fraternity in the U.S.
for liberal arts colleges. Agnes
Scott College, where the Beta
Chapter of Georgia was installed
on March 23, 1926, is the
second of three Beta chapters in
Georgia. It promotes scholarship
and brings scholars to the cam-
pus; e.g. it was responsible for

bringing Sir John C. Eccles to
Scott this year.

Dr. McNair, secretary of the
Phi Beta Kappa Chapter said that
it is not what the chapter does
but what it is "it isthe honorof
being elected to the most dis-

Rep's agenda

The new Rep Council took office Monday night and held their first
full fledged meeting Tuesday night. We propose that the campus, led
by Rep, began now to turn its attention to several issues with the
view of taking action by the end of the quarter.

First, while the memory of the latest elections fiasco is still fresh in
our minds, Rep needs to redefine and standardize its policies to
prevent unfairness. We at the Profile regret our own role in treating
some candidates unfairly by not printing pictures of all the can-
didates. Rep should reconsider the time of elections and set them a
week later in spring quarter or during the final week of winter
quarter.

Rep should again consider drinking on campus although soneth-
ing less than drinking in dorm rooms would obviously be more accep-
table to the 210 students who voted against RC 1 65. A compromise
between drinking in dorm rooms and no drinking on campus we
hope will be found. Eventually drinking in dorm rooms will probably
come to Agnes Scott, but if the student body prefers to take its
alcohol in slow doses, then that is certainly the course Rep should
adopt.

Toward the end of winter quarter, Rep discovered $3,000
squirreled away in a savings account This sum with some added
monies from Rep or campus boards could best be spent on a
Volkswagen mini-bus. This bus would be available to all students in
the following priorities. 1 ) educational uses, e.g. a class would liketo
visit the High Museum because "A French Way of Seeing" is on
exhibit, 2) extracurricular activities, e.g. Arts Council could reserve
the bus to transport students to the Atlanta Symphony on Sunday
afternoons or the Tennis Team could travel to away matches, and 3)
personal use, e.g. transportation to Stone Mountain for a picnic, to
the movies, etc.

Within the above categories, use would be on a first come, first
serve basis. This idea is not original Dr Perry reports that Goucher
had a mini-bus and it was so successful, they got another.

We also hope Rep will revitalize the Committee on Academic
Problems and consider the priorities we as students would set for
our College. Joyce McKee Editor

Impeachment for, and con-
viction of, Treason, Bribery, or
other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors.

Constitution of the United
States Article II, Section 4

Impeachment means the
formal majority vote in the
House of Representatives that
accuses a public official, such as
the president, of having com-
mitted impeachable offenses
(what is an impeachable
offense: clearly crimes for which
one could be indicted, and
perhaps misconduct which is
not, in itself, criminal).

The House Judiciary Com-

mittee, chaired by Peter Rodino,
has been empowered to inves-
tigate impeachment. If grounds
for impeachment are found,
articles of impeachment will be
sent to the floor of the House.
The impeachment resolution
would take priority over all other
business of the House.

After debate, each article and
proposed amendment would be
voted upon individually. The
House would then vote for or
against impeachment.

If the House votes to impeach
President Nixon, the dominant
role in the process shifts to the
Senate where all business

except emergency legislation
would stop.

Chief Justice Warren E.
Burger would preside. He and all
senators would swear to "do im-
partial justice." Although Burger
would rule on evidence or
procedure, any senator could
appeal a ruling to the entire
Senate; a simple majority vote
would overrule the Chief Jus-
tice.

To convict the president, a
two-thirds majority of the
Senate is required. If acquitted,
the proceedings could be re-
opened only if new evidence
were found.

The House impeaches; the

Senate acquits or convicts. If the

President is impeached and
found guilty, he would only be
removed from office; no fines or
imprisonment can be meted out
by the Senate. However, if
impeached and convicted, it is
generally agreed that Mr. Nixon
could then be indicted and tried
in the regular court system.

In the history of the United
States, only 12 high Federal of-
ficers have been impeached
with only four convictions.
President Andrew Johnson was
impeached by the House but es-
caped conviction in the Senate
by one vote.

How Scott students feel

by DELLA McMILLAN and
MARENE EMANUEL

How do U.S. citizens feel about the President, and would they favor
his impeachment? In a poll for Newsweek, The Gallup Organization
took a nationwide questioning of 546 on March 13. The results
(taken directly from the Mar. 26 issue):

1 .Would you be for or against your congressman voting for the
Senate to hold a trial on whether President Nixon should be removed
from office because of charges relating to Watergate?

The implications of this poll are obvious. Demanding special atten-
tion, however, is the discrepancy in the totals of questions 1 and 2.
60% of those polled were for a Senate trial on whether the President
should be removed from office (the definition of impeachment),
while the majority believed that impeachment would hurt thecoun-
try.

How do the Agnes Scott students feel about the questions? To find
out, The Profile conducted their own survey of the entire student
body. 233 students responded and these are the results:

monies
returned

The history department which
has been granted the McCain
Lectureship for 1974-75 has

The lectureship, founded to
honor the second president of
Agnes Scott, James Ross
McCain, has been granted to the
history department to develop a
program on the bicentennial of
the United States. Mr. Brown,
chairman of the department,
stated that the money was
returned because the
department had lost Mr. Robson,
whose specialty was early
American history; because of
the involvement of Miss
Meroney, who will begin teach-
ing two courses in that period,
with a program in Florida; anc*
because of Mr Brown's possible
absence for a quarter.

The McCain Lectureship was

Dance concert here

by MARENE EMANUEL

The Spring Dance Concert will
be held Apr. 25 and 26, at 8:1 5
p.m. in Presser Hall. The concert
is performed annually at no
charge by the Agnes Scott
Dance Group under the direction
of Mrs. Marilyn Darling. The
program features a variety of
dance from jubilant square
dancing to emotional ballet;
members of the Dance Group
will not only perform these
selections, but have
choreographed many of them as
well.

The presentation will include:

Underture, choreographed by
Melanie Elder. Based on the
theme that each person has a
potential, an awareness, which
can be developed and expressed
within the confines of a limiting
society, it is an abstract dance
using natural body rhythms and
emotions.

Las Mujures de Asturias,
choreographed by Polky
Tarwarter. Using Jose Iturbi's
Spanish piano music and em-
phasizing rhythm and vitality, an
arousing Spanish atmosphere is
created through the lyrical
movements of Josette Alberts,
Melanie Elder, Karen Hale, and
Nancy White.

Hoedown, choreographed by
Cheryle Kitchens, is basically a
dance containing abstract
square dance movements. Mary
Ann Barlow, Pam Braswell, Beth
Budd, Denise Floyd, and Cheryl
Kitchens are the dancers.

Germinating Souls
choreographed by Liz Hoy and
Becca James, is a dance evolved

from the quotation, "Moving of
the earth brings hearmes and
feares." A reverse shadow effect
is produced by one dancer on
stage and another on film in the
background. The film is
produced and filmed by Bill
Young and Bill Head of the
Emory Photographic Services.

Lines, choreographed by
Margaret Cassingham. It is a
study of lines with curved and
straight movements. Margaret
Cassingham, Ann DeRosa,
Melissa Elder, and Cheryle Kit-
chens are the dancers.

The Fury and the Aftermath,
choreographed by Karen Hale.
An experiment involving
emotional portrayal and content
within the medium of body
movement, the dance involves
an exploration and abstraction of
the passionate emotions rage
and despair.

Contrasts, choreographed by
Marylin Darling. An attempt to
juxtapose modern and ballet
dance forms; this dance is also a
juxtaposition of emotions rang-
ing from jubilance, to earnest re-
joicing, to satire and wit. The
dancers include Josette Alberts,
Beth Budd, Fran Lawless, and
Lucile Palmer.

Folk Song, choreographed by
Marylin Darling, is a suite of
dances choreographed to old
American Folk Songs composed
by Aaron Copland and sung by
William Warfield.

Nightcry, choreographed by
Marylin Darling. It attempts to
reflect today's environment and
society in abstract form, through
the medium of dance movement.

Course changes made by
departments for 74- 75

by ANN FINCHER
Editor's note:

This article on course changes
will be completed in the next
edition of the Profile.

Julie Gary, dean of the faculty,
has revealed some curriculum
changes for the 1974-75
academic session. According to
Miss Gary, these changes,
which include course deletions
and additions, changes in course
format and structure, changes in
titles, are "in large part initiated
by the departments."

When a department,
motivated by somebody "drop-
ping a hint within the
department . . . interests and
special training of departmental
faculty ... or student desire,"
proposes changes of the
department curriculum, these
proposals are presented by the
department chairman to the
Curriculum Committee. The
current committee consists of
the dean of the faculty,
chairman; the registrar,
secretary; eight faculty
members elected for two year
rotating terms, and the president
of the College as an ex officio
member. The Curriculum Com-
mittee examines and discusses
proposed curriculum changes
and may veto the proposal or
return it for refinement to the
department where it originated,
or the committee may accept the
proposal. If the Curriculum Com-
mittee approves the change, the
proposal is sent to the Academic
Council, consisting of all
department chairmen, the
president of the College, dean of
the faculty, dean of students ex
officio, and registrar. The coun-
cil usually accepts the
recommendation of the
Curriculum Committee, and if
the council approves the
change, the proposal goes into
effect.

The course changes for 1 974-
75 are:

In the Art Department, Art 270
and 272 will be dropped and
replaced by Art 273 entitled
"Three Dimensional Design." A
new offering in the department
is Art 316, "Arts of Africa," a
five-hour course to be taught by
Mrs. Evelyn Mitchell. Mrs. Mit-
chell will replace Mrs. Pepe,
chairman of the department,
who will be on leave spring
quarter. Miss Gary emphasized
that this course may be offered
only once. There are no prere-
quisites for the course. An-
nother addition to the art
department is a five-hour

seminar fall quarter taught by
Mrs. Pepe. The seminar is forart
majors and will deal with "Art
History and Criticism." The
topics for the seminar will vary
from year to year; the topic for
the '74 seminar is "Survival of
Classical Antiquity in Medieval
and Renaissance Art."

Two new five-hour courses
have been added to the
economics department:
Economics 311 and 312, "Ac-
counting and Economic Decision
Making." The courses, which
are scheduled for fall and winter,
will be taught by a person "not
presently on our faculty."
Economics courses 201, 301
and 302, currently "basic"
economics courses, have been
dropped and will be replaced by
Economics 202 and 203. As-
sistant Professors Johnson and
Weber will teach these courses.
Credit hours are variable.

Effective 1974-75 the English
department will offer a new ma-
jor entitled "English and
Creative Writing." Courses in
the new major will include the
present English 201 and several
new courses. English 201, "In-

troduction to Narrative Writing,"
will be offered for three or six
hours credit fall and winter and
will be taught by Professor
Trotter and Associate Professor
Ball. Two new English courses
for this major are English 202
and 203. Miss Trotter will teach
English 202 "Introduction to
Writing Poetry" for three hours
credit winter quarter and
English 203 "Introduction to
Writing Plays" for three hours
credit spring quarter. There are
no prerequisites for these
courses. Miss Trotter will also
teach English 340, a "Writing
Workshop." The prerequisites
for this five-hour fall quarter
course are English 201 or 202 or
203 or permission of the instruc-
tor. Either Miss Trotter or Mr.
Ball will direct English41 5, "Ad-
vanced Creative Writing," which
may be taken for three or five
hours credit. Miss Gary em-
phasized that a major in
"English and Creative Writing"
must be "a mixture of creative
writing and literature as pres-
cribed in the catalogue."

Faculty appointments
announced by dean

by JOYCE McKEE

Since tne Apr. 5 issue of the
Profile, more faculty ap-
pointments have been made and
the Profile has learned of
several errors in the original
article which should be
corrected.

Miss Cox, who teaches
physical education, has resigned
her position, effective at the end
of this year. That position as well
as the positions in the
psychology and biology
departments remain unfilled.

Mr. Martin will be on leave fall
quarter and organ will be taught
by Mr. Lee Suitor and Mrs. Dean
McKee, both organists and
music directors at large Atlanta
churches. Mrs. McKee, a Scott
alumna, is the former Adele
Dieckmann. Her father, Profes-
sor Dieckmann, wrote the music
for the Agnes Scott hymn.

Elizabeth Zenn will begin next
year serving as the chairman of
the classics department.
Constance Shaw-Mazlish has
been appointed acting chairman
of the Spanish department.
Philip Reinhart will serve as ac-

ting chairman of the physics and
astronomy department except
for winter quarter when he will
be on leave. Then, George
Folsom will be acting chairman.

Mary Lou Benton will be an
instructor in the chemistry
department next year, not a lec-
turer as the Profile earlier
reported. She is a doctoral can-
didate at the University of Texas
in Austin.

Frances Calder who was
formerly an associate professor
of French will return as visiting
associate professor, not as-
sistant professor as was
reported. Mrs. Calder is an
Agnes Scott alumna.

Mrs. Evelyn Mitchell, not Miss
Mitchell, will fill in for Mrs. Pepe
during her leave spring quarter.

Miss Cabisius, joining the
classics department, has her
PhD from Bryn Mawr.

David Behan received his BA
from Yale University and PhD
from Vanderbilt. Mr. Behan was
dean of Morse College at Yale
and is currently a post-doctoral
fellow at Yale. He is joining the
philosophy department.

Campus solutions

I have been at Agnes Scott three years and have not yet
experienced the college which Mr Reinhart describes in his letterto
the editor found in this issue. Even if his description of the College
and the state of mind it produces were true, his solution never solved
anything. It is true that this College is about teaching and learning,
but anyone who expects better teaching through more ad-
ministration is taking a roundabout and probably nonexistent route.

However, Mr. Reinhart's solution was overshadowed by what he
views as the problem - -the current condition of Agnes Scott I
sympathize with anyone who must work under such terrible con-
ditions and suffer constantly and unremittingly.

Some on this campus do not see the College in the same light. I
have spent time in the past several weeks with seniorsand juniors- -
both out-going and incoming officers. I am enormously cheered
by their attitude - -their loyalty and concern for Agnes Scott, their
desire to maintain the College firmly in the liberal arts tradition, their
feeling that members of the faculty who care deeply for the College
are available to help - -not to dictate but to advise when their advice
is sought. To these individuals, the College does not seem to be in
such dire straits.

Of course, Agnes Scott has problems. I wish we didn't have dit-
ches on campus that look like we are digging mass graves, I wish
there were no enrollment problems, I wish the students could arrive
at some reform of the drinking policy that would be acceptable to ma-
jorities of the student body and the Administrative Committee before
1984, I wish some members of the faculty would respect their
students enough to prepare before they enter class to teach, I wish
the concern of our students would lead them to action of the cam-
pus instead of grumbling over the dinnertable. I wish, I wish, I wish -
- -each of us could make a long list of all the "I wish" es possible, but
that doesn't mean that the College is disintegrating or that the issues
we confront today are any greater than those the College has faced
in the past. It means simply that we must work to realize the ideal of
Agnes Scott after we first try to verbally shape that ideal. I myself
prefer a small liberal arts college for women located near a
metropolitan area dedicated to teaching and learning - -the
development of the student as person in all of the ways a College like
Agnes Scott makes possible. Joyce McKee Editor

Dear Agnes Scott:

Never send to know for whom
the ditches are being dug; they
are being dug for thee.

Leila Kinney
Eleni Papador

To the editor:

In the past five years Agnes
Scott's enrollment has dropped
significantly. Apparently
students, prospective students
and parents are increasingly not
convinced that an Agnes Scott
education is worth the money,
effort, and time. Many percep-
tive people are also concerned
about the lack of distinctiveness
in our curriculum, the poor
quality of our teaching, and the
unhealthy psychological and
emotional atmosphere around
the college.

An enthusiastic, motivated
faculty is essential to the
solution of these fundamental
problems. Higher salaries would
help, but would necessitate a
rethinking about affordable
faculty size and about the
concept of tenure. More im-
portantly, the assignment of a
full-time administrative person,
skillful in interpersonal
relations, to work with, motivate,
and facilitate the efforts of
faculty could dramatically
transform the college's
prospects.

Yours truly,

Philip B. Reinhart,

assistant professor of physics

At the recent Mortar Board
Convocation Ms Woods dis-
cussed the growing withdrawal

of students from Agnes Scott
community life. She felt this to
be exemplified by the growing
choice of single rooms, the in-
creasing selection of off-campus
jobs, and the minimal and unen-
thusiastic faculty sponsorship of
student activities. It seems then
that the boarding students have
begun to experience what the
day students had come to accept
as reality.

For the day students of Agnes
Scott isolation from the campus
community has been main-
tained by meetings,
conferences, and similar ac-
tivities scheduled in the late
afternoons or evenings. Such
activities often cannot be
attended by day students due to
their jobs and their heavy res-
ponsibilities at home. The day
students' lack of attendance,
however, is not attributed to
their responsibilities, but rather
to their lack of interest and
unwillingness to participate.
These contentions are unfair
and unfounded.

Day students should be
recognized as viable members of
the Atlanta community. They
cannot nor should they be
expected to join the same
organizations or to participate in
the same activities as boarding
students. They can be expected,
however, to contribute their
talents and service toward the
representation of Agnes Scott in
the Atlanta community. The day

When the White House did not
comply with the April 9 deadline
set by the House Judiciary Corn-

students themselves have
recognized their potential.
Exemplifying this realization is
the recently instituted program
for day students to recruit poten-
tial Scotties from their local high
schools. This is only the begin-
ning of the contribution that day
students can make.

Cognizant of their new-found
talents, the day students have
accordingly re-organized their
government to provide more
participation among themselves
through various committees.
These committees offer
positions to all classes, as well
as an equal opportunity to
express grievances and to
suggest changes. As
chairwoman of this new day
student government, JoAnn
Williams brings not only an abid-
ing interest in the problems of
day students, but a strong
interest in the Agnes Scott com-
munity as well. JoAnn Williams
represents leadership among
the day students, and she also
contributes her time to Agnes
Scott life, exemplified by her
recent election to Mortar Board.
Thus, the growing withdrawal of
day students from the Agnes
Scott community life has
ceased. With the increased
participation it is hoped that the
question, "Do you go here?" will
become wholly unnecessary.

Sincerely,
Jill Johnson

To the editor:

On behalf of the admissions
staff, we would like to thank
Mortar Board for its initiative
and leadership in planning and
carrying out the myriad details of
applicants' weekend, and the
entire campus community for its
enthusiastic support and
participation. We feel this
weekend will be most helpful to
applicants as they make their
final decisions. Last year 88% of
those who attended applicants'
weekend decided to enroll here.

Applicants appreciate the op-
portunity for personal contact
with students. If any of you wish
to contact applicants (friends,
acquaintances, or someone
from your community), we will
be glad to give you their ad-
dresses and/or telephone
numbers.

Sincerely,

The challenges of community

(Editor's note:

Mrs. Linda Woods spoke at the Mortar Board Convocation last Wednesday . She is a
Scott alumna and was a member of Mortar Board.)

A cliche of theme in modern American literature, as every student of our contem-
porary prose and poetry knows, is that of the failure of community: the decreasing
sense of context, the misery and terror of the individual who feels severed from any
community of values, detached from the possibilities of shared, communal purpose. To
their reader's chagrin and pain, sometimes, countless modern artists from Eliot,
Fitzgerald, and Faulkner to Agee, Albee, and Updike observe and deplore the dis-
solution of community and its results the destructive anonymity of a rootless,
mobile society, the insidious erosion of values, the isolation of the self-absorbed and
solipsistic spirit. These sensitive literary interpreters of our time often portray in their
works a panicky and undirected individual, who is frantically, hopelessly at odds with
his environment. In the throes of this annihilating conflict between the individual and
his world exist extremes of the modern dissociated personality, familiar portraits of
characters like Eliot's Prufrock and Faulkner's Quentin who "cannot bear too much
reality"; these fragmented souls find the world as we now know it hostile and life-
denying and so awake from deep sea dreams to drown.

Increasing complexity, outlandish size, unwieldy heterogeneity these are just a
few very general explanations for the loss of community of which our contemporary
writers are intensely aware a modern phenomenon I cannot attempt any longer to
define but can only stipulate IS. Perhaps Henry Adam's metaphor of the dynamo is
provocative here the image the pessimistic Adams used in the earliest years of the
20th century to describe and anticipate the increasingly destructive, fracturing
processes of industrialization and mechanization in the modern world. He took the
image of the dynamo, remember, that same mockery-of-God machine that has
appeared in various avatars in the fiction of very recent decades in novels like
Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, for instance, or Ellison's Invisible Man
and he contrasted that dehumanizing monstrosity, somewhat sentimentally perhaps,
with a nostalgic image of the Blessed Virgin. Unlike the dynamo's effect of dispersal,
explained Adams, the unifying force of the Holy Mother gave impetus, focus, and
strength to the common European laborers of the Middle Ages, who were, Adams
contended, more united in spirit and in purpose than any group of human beings our
Western World would likely see again. In this kind of unity, he argued, in this kind of
working communion, is human fulfillment.

What has all this literary distress to do with present education, with Agnes Scott,
with Mortar Board, you may by now be relieved to hear me ask rhetorically. I discuss
the generalized fragmentation our so-called modern predicament to insist that
there is nourishment in its opposite, in community; we can support this not-too-amaz-
ing assertion by simply noting the havoc which results when the spirit of community
disappears in our country, in our families, in our lives. It occursto me and I never
was too quick that a small liberal arts college namely Agnes Scott has an
extraordinary opportunity and obligation in a disparate and dissociated world to
preserve an example of the collective resources of community, which I conceive of as
the sense of personal support which each of us derives from a mutuality of interests,
from the dependability of well studied and well formulated institutional objectives, and
from the immense relief which results from experiencing definition on at least one
front of our divided existences. This College or certainly my ideal version of it is
one of a very few places left, probably, where for several years anyway a young student
can struggle to define herself within a fairly reliable context of predicated values, con-
sistent yet adaptable principles which she can help reshape and reinterpret as the
perspectives of new generations require. Here she can know that the professed aim of
the College (even if it is not always realized) is to help her assert her separateness and
individuality and to respect and value her personhood above all else. Paradoxical,
perhaps, but that is what, in my judgment, a vital spirit of community accomplishes.

If an academic institution if Agnes Scott isto continuetoprovidethis vanishing
sense of community of which I speak, it certainly must be more than a place of
catalogued classroom course work no matter how effective the courses; for any
nighttime commuter college can fulfill certain obvious requisites of education and
fulfill them very well. And such colleges or at least their daytime equivalents are
currently proliferating, even as small residential liberal arts colleges are fading like old
soldiers. However, it is ironic, but probably not surprising, that another trend among
institutions of higher education seems to be emerging. With great excitement (as well
as naivete, methinks), Lyle Thompson reports in the winter issue of the AAUP Bulletin
on Johnston College, a detachment of just over 300 undergraduate students and
teaching fellows within the much larger complex of the University of Redlands in
California. This group has been engaged in rediscovering the merits of a humanized
approach to learning within the supportive environment of a small and similarly
motivated community. Thus they seek the advantages of community in negative
reaction to the concept of the giant university with its bureaucratic, computerized
animus. So it seems to me that in one sense they are resurrecting the basis for the
collegium of the Middle Ages; for these first colleges were, in the words of historian
George Schmidt, "family group(s) within the larger university guild of intellectuals . . .
small groups which might inhabit one building, endowed perhaps by a bishop or
nobleman, where they would have their meals in common, exchange ideas, say
masses in the chapel for their benefactor's soul, and eventually come up with a set of
rules for all who wanted to share the common life." Given time, doesn't everything
seem to come full circle?

If an ideal of community is to be defined for Agnes Scott, it may be necessary to
return, however cautiously, to the more recent past for inspiration to the original
conception of the liberal arts college in America as a residential community which
sponsored and support a way of life which engaged mind, body, and spirit. Here is
revealed our legacy of commitment to the "whole woman," as we are fond of saying
here our founding emphasis on genuine interaction and cooperation between what
is learned in the classroom and what is contributed by non-curricular aspects of
student life. Not that I have any desire to summon up even the ghost of Cotton Mather's
austere prescriptions for what he called a "collegiate way of living" his stiuplations

for "manners and morals and activities and studies, all of a relatively consistent
integrated pattern" but we might profitably note that in the early years of our nation's
colleges, there was no divergence between curricular and extra-curricular activities
The collegiate experience was of a piece.

However, for the better part of a hundred years, there has been in America a certain
amount of tension in student life between the strictly, "legitimately" academic
programs the high intellectual pursuits we are challenged to consider our first
purpose and the suspiciously labeled "extra-curricular" activities, which are
intended, so college catalogs argue, to enrich the student's collegiate adventure. The
balance keeps shifting, the desirable mean somehow rarely present. In a fairly con-
sistent pattern from the latter part of the nineteenth century, students increasingly
(and sometimes absurdly) stressed non-academic areas as fraternities prospered,
beauty contests prevailed, and campus politics flourished (that is, everywhere but at
Agnes Scott where it wasn't decorus to admit to actually wanting an office one had
to await the voter draft!). In the mid and late sixties, as you know, we had an un-
precedented switch as students, overwhelmed by their outrage at war and injustice,
refused to be contained by the campus at all. In the seventies, students seem to have
retreated to their private rooms with or without companionship of the opposite sex,
determined to create there a separate if artificial peace. They have been sum-
moned out only recently (and probably temporarily) by the gay abandon of the streaking
craze.

This last reaction of self-imposed isolation is understandable, especially if we go
beyond the superficial opposition of credit and non-credit activities to see in the
student situation a type of the dilemma which confronts all women today whether
energetic adolescents, frenzied young marrieds, or clairol matrons with understan-
dably sluggish blood. (Men, of course, have similar problems, but you'll forgive me if I
consider women the first sex today.) The demands upon our time and our psyches
are multitudinous even insane as you and I and Alvin Toff ler know! And the ten-
sion between what we might wish to do for ourselves purely, blissfully, selfishly
and what we struggle to do for others whether generously or grudgingly can put
us in a "torture of equilibrium" analogous to the paralytic stasis of John Crowe Ran-
som's "Equilibrists," two lovers who perish alien and unfulfilled because they cannot
fuse the dicotomies of their dispersed beings intoa life-affirming union. And so, asour
contemporary poets and novelists in their various voices keep insisting, we often
withdraw from community flee communal responsibility altogether even escape
reality and take our souls and head for our "snow-occluded" house of safety. But
these are suffocating, inwardly-focused retreats where threats to personal
vulnerability are minimal yes but where loneliness and emptiness even
paranoia fill the vacuums of our lives. Thus the big cop-out: the "flying Frederic
Henry type leap," as one of my students put it last quarter, out of a too cluttered, too
disillusioning world.

In bringing this point to bear on life at Agnes Scott, let me quickly note that I have
never been too troubled by the particular prosaic conflicts that arise as a student
juggles her time between her formal studies and the demands of these various
"enrichment" activities; and I suppose, if pressed, I would admit that in my role as
teacher I emphatically regret the bleary-eyed faces and dosing minds thatt>ccasionally
confront us in the classroom during times of seemingly relentless preparation for local
campus events such as the Mortar Board-sponsored Black Cat celebration in the fall.
And I trust I know that on this campus few concessions are made for outrageous
suppliants who plead for special consideration on academic deadlines because they
are innundated by demands from this other sphere. First things, first and thank
goodness, few seem to dispute the generally well-entrenched priorities at this college
even when they opt personally for another standard.

In fact, the benefits of participation in campus activities seem newly convincing to
me in view of what I have been describing for myself and for you as "the great cop-out."
Some individuals must and should concern themselves exclusively with their studies,
but I suspect that many have detached themselves from the communal spirit for other
than academic reasons. The growing isolation of individuals on this campus worries
me. I see it manifested in the increased desirability of single rooms in dormitories, in
the somewhat jaded responses of students towards campus offices and college
organizations; in the highly understandable but to my mind regrettable interest in
off-campus jobs; in the diminished support of faculty for student programs,
performances, and projects; in the contentiousness of faculty, students, and ad-
ministration in their relationships with each other. One might say. in modest
understatement, that something at the center may not be holding.

Mortar Board has on some campuses become a strictly honorary organization,
capitulating to the insistence of pressured and disengaged students who wish to
shoulder no additional burdens of responsibility in their senior years. However the
original conception of Mortar Board still prevails on our campus with this tapping: that
is, our purpose is to pay tribute to some of the individuals among us who embody the
ideals of scholarship, leadership, and service as the organization specifies arid io
observe that much is expected of this group in the year ahead I urge these new
members, as I encourage you all, to consider the challenges which confront our sense
of community at this college and to endeavor to contribute more than before to the
health of its communal spirit.

In 1 943, Ellen Douglas Leyburn addressed the Mortar Board convocation She spoke
impressively of the Nazi menace which posed with its insistent totalitarianism a
terrifying threat to this college as a liberal arts institution. Less dramatic, but almost
assuredly just as threatening are the present insidious challenges to our identity as a
college. The threats which we face now, moreover, are as much from within as
without. Nonetheless, I have persistent faith in the individuals who constitute this
college community and I trust and pray that we can work together to preserve a very
precious legacy: our sense that we are (generically speaking)

brothers all
In honour, as in one community
Scholars and gentlemen.

Gatsby

by NELL JORDAN

Released in the wake of one of
the largest promotional cam-
paigns in recent memory, The
Great Gatsby proves to be the
most shattering disappointment
to American moviegoers since
Rudolph Valentino attempted
his first talking picture. The
violence done to the Fitzgerald
novel from which this screen-
play is adapted far exceeds its
PG rating.

Mia Farrow as Daisy
Buchanan languishes her way
from one frame to the next look-
ing less like a femme than a
diseased fatale, while Robert
Redford struggles desperately to
maintain that reputation as an
actor which he acquired in
Butch Cassidy and the Sun-
dance Kid. In all fairness to
Farrow, one basic problem lies in
the improbable nature of the
character she portrays. The
renowned Fitzgerald heroine is
fundamentally a literary
phenomenon whose fragile
charm is an intellectual one. Any
literal interpreation is apt to
become as insipid and finally
disgusting as Zelda Fitzgerald,
the original golden girl, often
appeared. Particularly in today's
feminist atmosphere, Daisy's
complete inability to cope and
her endless vacillation are
inexcusable. Nevertheless, Mia
Farrow's performance reveals a
total lack of insight and an insen-
sitivity to the complexities of her
decidedly difficult role. Her
spiritless portrayal is very much
inferior to that of the young ac-
tress who appeared in the
television special "The Last of
the Belles" this past fall. The
character is essentially the same
For Fitzgerald conceived his
ideal and then rewrote her in all
of his stories; the difference lies
solely in the actress.

Sam Waterston, who recently
appeared in the widely ac-
claimed television version of
Shakespeare's Much Ado
About Nothing, is consistently
splendid as Nick Carroway.
There are even times when one
gets the distinct impression that
Nick's delicate disgust stems not
only from the careless world of
the idle rich but also from the
disintegration of the film itself.

Undeniably, there are some
fine moments in the film, but as
a whole it is a tedious process by
which the tender and exquisite
beauty of the Fitzgerald classic is
smothered beneath a
conglomeration of camera

equipment, lights, scenery, cos-
tumes, diamonds, society extras,
and meaningful glances.

It is conceivable that someone
who is totally unacquainted with
the novel or the novelist's work
may be entertained to some
degree. And, undoubtedly, Mid-
dle America will enjoy it as they
enjoyed Magnum Force and all
the rest. But that is small con-
solation to those who will con-
tinue to weep into their buttered
popcorn over the deplorable
dearth of aesthetic sense in the
movie industry today. As
Fitzgerald most poignantly put it
at the conslusion of his Great
Gatsby, "So we beat on, boats
against the current. . . ."

Musketeers

For those who courageously
continue the search for their
three dollars worth at a movie,
The Three Musketeers is an
excellent investment and a
delightful way to spend an
evening.

This production is an
extremely modern look at the ab-
surdity of those chivalrous times
without a trace of the cynical
superiority that backward
glances so often fall err to. Like a
well-turned pun, the movie is a
crisp and clever commitment to
a low form of humor which is
surprisingly satisfying.

The success lies primarily in
its creative approach. The movie
is a fine example of a novel
which has been freely adapted to
accommodate the elements
peculiar to the film medium. All
of the performances, from
Richard Chamberlain's to that of
Raquel Welch, are executed
with such relish, that we will
eagerly await the promised se-
quel to this divine movie.

Our Town

When Our Town first opened
on Broadway in February of
1938, Brook* Atkinson of the

Matches played here

Agnes Scott's tennis team
played some close matches on
Wed , Apr 10. when it met
Sewanee on the Scott home
courts. Nine singles and four
doubles matches were com-
pleted. Harriet Graves, playing
the number one position for
Scott, lost to Ginny Ennett in a
close 7-5, 7-5 contest Some
highlights of the matches were

Pam Hamilton's 6-2, 6-1 win
over Ann Armor; Lynn Wilson's
close 6-4, 4-6, 6-7 loss to Vicky
Johnson, and Susi Pedrick's 6-2,
7-6 comeback. Other players for
Scott were Terri Keeler, Pedrick
Stall, Rhett Jones, Glenn Hodge,
and Henny Leland Doubles
teams were Graves-Wilson,
Jones-Keeler, Hodge-Staff, and
Hamilton-Leland.

New York Times en-
thusiastically wrote that "Our
Town is, in the opinion of this
column, one of the finest
achievements of the current
stage. "Today, when much of the
original luster has been rubbed
away in countless high school
productions of Thornton
Wilder's classic about "the good
life" in Smalltown, USA, we may
find some enduring significance
in Atkinson's remark.

A startling innovation in its
own day, Our Town will remain
as an interesting period piece
long after its homespun
philosophies have been
pronounced hopelessly passe.
The play stands as the instigator
of a creative trend which has
spawned, in less than 40 years,
such a masterpiece in free
expression as Candide, the
current Broadway smash which
completely eliminates all of the
traditional distinctions between
player and audience.

Wilder, with his actors speak-
ing from the audience, his
constantly open curtain, and his
tremendous reduction of
scenery, makes one of the
earliest attempts to break the
confines of traditional realistic
theater and to introduce a freer
and more imaginative form. In
the light of all that has come
after, Our Town is something of
a landmark in American theater.
Though the plot grows
sometimes oppressively sen-
timental, its technical aspects
rescue the play from artistic
oblivion.

How much this merits its
permanance on the contem-
porary stage isanotherquestion.
Though the wisdom in their
selection of a play is dubious, the
performance of the Alliance
Theater Company is adequate,
and the production is an accep-
table, if unchallenging,
evening's entertainment. There
have been better, but there have
been much, much worse.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030-

April 26, 1974

Perry's inauguration to be May 1 8

by PATTY PEARSON

President Marvin Banks Perry
will be inaugurated at 1 1 a.m.
May 18 in the quad between
Presser and Buttrick. The
ceremony will be followed that
night by an inaugural ball in the
Saratoga Ballroom of the
Executive Park Motor Hotel, las-
ting from 9-1 . Dress will be black
tie optional; that is, a man does
not have to wear a tuxedo.

The inauguration of a college
president is a "high occasion" in
academic circles, according to
Dean Jones. Invitations have
already gone out to a large
number of schools. These in-

policy announced

vitations go to the school's
president; however, if the
president cannot attend, he
usually sends a dean or dis-
tinguished alumnus or alumna
from the area. There will be an
academic procession and all
delegates will be in full
academic regalia. The delegates
will line up in the order of their
school's founding. Harvard is
always first in the U.S., for
example. In addition to delegates
from various schools, represen-
tatives from professional and
learned societies that Agnes
Scott faculty and administration
deal with have been invited.
These delegates will line up in

Cottages open for summer ;
no men or alcohol allowed

alphabetical order.

At 8:30 the morning of May
1 8, there will be a registration of
delegates. At 9 a.m. there will be
a worship service primarily for
the Perry family, although
anyone is welcome. At 10:30
there will be the official "lining
up" with our faculty heading up
the procession. At 1 1 a.m. the
ceremony will begin. If it is sun-
ny, students are welcome, but if
it rains, only those with tickets
will be able to attend. The
Chairman of the Board of
Trustees will administer the
oath and former Agnes Scott
president, Wallace M. Alston,
will offer a prayer. Dr. Perry will
make the major address at the
ceremony. Throughout the
week, however, before the
ceremony, Dr. Perry has asked
three women who are
prominent in arts, public life, and
academia to speak at various
times as a prelude to the
inauguration. The names of

these speakers will be an-
nounced later.

In addition to the planned
speakers, a musical program is
scheduled which will include not
only our own students and
faculty, but also musical groups
from other institutions in the
area.

Every student and every em-
ployee at Agnes Scott will
receive an invitation to the
Inaugural Ball. The Dean Hud-
son Band will play. Students are
encouraged to come and bring
dates. Admission is free. There
will be a cash bar.

Although primarily local
people will attend the ball since
many of the delegates will be
returning to their respective
schools that same day, Governor
Carter, the Mayor of Decatur,
presidents of Atlanta and
Georgia Colleges and
universities, alumnae, faculty
and administration will be in
attendance.

Agnes Scott College will make
available a limited number of
residence spaces in the summer
of 1974 in response to several
inquiries from currently enrolled
students who plan to work or
study in the Atlanta area this
summer. The summer housing
program will be in cottages
operated by the college.

The details of the summer
housing program are outlined
below.

1 . Eligibility. Students
enrolled at Agnes Scott College
during 1973-74 are eligible for
the summer housing program.

2 Dates. The housing will be
available from 12:00 noon on
June 1 2 through 1 2:00 noon on
August 31 .

3 Cost and payment
schedule. The cost for the
summer period is $150. Ap-
plications for the program must

be accompanied by a $50 non-
refundable deposit. The remain-
ing $1 00 is payable by June 1 1 .
There-^e-4oajrionthly or weekly
rentals in the summer program.

4. Applications and as-
signments. Completed ap-
plications, with the $50 deposit,
should be forwarded to the Of-
fice of the Dean of Students. The
college will, to the degree pos-
sible, make housing as-
signments according to the
rooming preferences shown on
the application blank. Cottage
assignments will be made on the
basis of applications received by
May 10, and any remaining
spaces will be assigned after
that date on a "first-come first
served" basis.

Regulations and services ap-
plicable to the summer housing
program are as follows:

1. College regulations ap-
plicable during the regular
academic year will also apply to
the summer housing program.

2. Cooking facilities in the cot-
tages are very limited and, in
most cases, do not include a
range and oven. Because of
limited electrical capacity, the
college cannot authorize the use
of portable ovens, etc. Students
applying for the summer hous-
ing program should be aware of
these limited facilities.

3. Because of limited electrical
capacity, room air conditioners
cannot be authorized for
installation in the cottages. '

4. The college will have no
food service, or infirmary service
available during the summer
months. Coin operated washers
and dryers in Main Hall will be
available when the building is
open.

Glee Club/Choraliers
plan to sing Tues.

by RUTH McMULLEN

Agnes Scott Glee Clubandthe
Emory Choraliers will present a
concert Tues., Apr. 30 at 8:15
p.m. in Gaines.

The concert will feature selec-
tions from classical twentieth
century music and romantic
music of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Represen-
tative composers are Beethoven,
Joseph Haydn, Debussy,
Michael Haydn, Newberry,
Thompson and Nelson. Selec-
tions include "Ave Maria" by
Bruckner, "Rejoice in the Lamb"
by Benjamin Britton, and a finale
taken from "Die Meistersinger"

by Wagner.

The Agnes Scott Glee Liub
will begin the concert followed
by the Emory Choraliers. After
an intermission, the groups will
sing several selections together.

Commenting upon the
concert, Theodore Mathews, as-
sistant professor of music and
director of the Agnes Scott Glee
Club, said, "This will be one of
the rrjost demanding yet interes-
ting and rewarding endeavors
we have undertaken. We an-
ticipate that the audience will
find it fulfilling also."

The concert is open to the
public.

Teaching

I want to believe that at the center of Agnes Scott College there is
something immutable. Faculty, students and administration may
change, but among them, always, are found individuals willing to
give their strengths to maintain the immutable core of Agnes Scott.
This giving is not a painful submission to the duties of student or
professor but a living expression of the force of the idea around
which this College was built. Agnes Scott College is consecrated to
providing a liberal education for women, and its ideal is in its motto,
"For this reason make every effort to supplement your faith with
virtue, and virtue with knowledge" (II Peter 1:5).

This dedication has long been the core of this College, but it is slip-
ping on the fringes, and if we do not move to recover that which we
have lost, we will lose all we have ever had. And if we lose, the
memory of the challenge Agnes Scott once presented to its students
and faculty will be bitter the then current travesty reminding us of
what was and could have been.

Today, Agnes Scott is holding in the center, but it will not be next
year or the year after unless we begin to focus our vision on the clas-
sroom. We need to critique our faculty not in a ten-minute check
list from the Educational Testing Service but in a carefully con-
sidered, written evaluation.

More than evaluations, students need to feel free to go to any
professor when they need help. Students should not allow profes-
sors to make them feel as if students are an imposition on theirtime,
for this is not the attitude of teachers but academic robots. Students
should also take their opinions, pro and con, to the department
chairmen and the dean of the faculty who have no other way of
knowing anything about the quality of instruction.

I am not advocating a witch hunt among the faculty. I have been
taught by so many that I cannot help but recognize the debt I owe to
them. The core of Agnes Scott has been strong and its remaining
strength is dependent upon the respectful relationship between a
class and its teacher.

Hollis Summers, here for the Writing Festival, came to Agnes
Scott 1 5 years ago for another writing conference. He remembered
our students as "tough but courteous." I hope we will demand
quality from this College; that we will be tough because we must in-
sist that we be able to take pride in our College and its degree, and
that we will be courteous because courtesy is the mark of the liberal
person who respects himself and his fellows

To the Student Body:

Many times during the week
students express concern over
various aspects of college policy.
This may be in reaction to a
recent speech (such as Mrs.
Woods' speech for Mortar Board
convocation), to an editorial in
this paper, or to a problem of
which students are aware. It is
good that people are concerned
and talk with each other at
dinner and in the dorms. The
fruit of this, though, is
somewhat doubtful simply
because students do not know
where to go with the problem
after it has been hashed out at
dinner.

I would like to request that
when you have a concern, you
write it down and put it in box
430. If you have a solution, that
will be even better, but do not let
the lack of one prevent your
expression of concern. SGA is
presently learning the channels
we need to go through in order to
make ourselves heard and in
order to make changes. We will
be glad to hear your ideas and to
funnel them if you wish.

Three weeks ago an article
appeared in the Profile on the
forced retirement of some of the
Senior Residents. There was
also an editorial onthis matter. If
you are concerned about the fact
that your senior resident is being
asked by the college to retire,
would you please let me know. I
will take your comments and
ideas to Dean Jones and Dr.
Perry. As always you are free to
sign your name or not to sign it.

From time to time I will be re-
questing your opinion on a
specific matter. Please do not let
this limit you if you have other
concerns.

Thank you,

To the editor:

Course selection week loom-
ing in the not-too-distant future,
the time seems to me especially
appropriate for voicing my
'Concern about a change made in
course requirements last year
which, as of this writing at least,
shows every sign of remaining
with us indefinitely. I refer to the
so-called "innovation" by which
a student may substitute a
foreign language course above
the intermediate level for
sophomore English, thus fulfill-
ing her literature requirement. I
find this possibility disturbing for
two reasons. First of all, I
seriously question the adequacy
of a foreign language course as a
substitute for a literature course
in one's native language, lamall
for learning other languages and
coming to know and appreciate
different cultures; I've had four
years of Latin, I'm taking French,
I'd like to learn Italian someday,
and I even know a little
Sumerian. But to slight the
English language in the process

of studying others is ridiculous.
English isan integral part of both
our collective and individual
heritages; moreover, the fact
that in sophomore English a
student has going for her some
twenty or so years' familiarity
with the tongue makes possible
a uniquely in-depth study of the
literature and in this context
the word "uniquely" cannot be
overstressed. Such a familiarity
allows, for example, a special
sensitivity to the connotations,
associations, tones, and aurasof
particular words an important
part of all literature and a major
part of many works. I do not see
how anyone could envision a
liberal arts education of real
quality without a course of this
type.

The second thing I find dis-
turbing about this course option
is that in some cases it would
allow a student to use one upper
level foreign language course to
fulfill both her literature and her
language requirements. I do not
know why English and the
languages were singled out for
such treatment; comparable
overlap is not possible in other
areas. One can, for instance,
count astronomy towards the
math requirement but cannot
use it as a lab science, although
that might make a kind of
shallow sense; and this
prohibition is as it should be.
Two-for-one specials are fine for

canned goods in grocery stores,
but they do not belong in Agnes
Scott's curriculum. The whole
point of a liberal arts education
is breadth of knowledge and
experience, and giving short
shrift to both English and
languages by permitting a doubl-
ing up on requirements runs
directly counter to such a
philosophy of education.

I do not think that this single
aspect of the curriculum will br-
ing about the destruction of
Agnes Scott; one or two clauses
in the catalogue do not spell
doom. But they do have a mes-
sage, and an important one. This
matter is symptomatic of a kind
of carelessness in dealing with
academic standards, a neglect
that can only be malign. Just as
surely as a multitude of small
germs can build to a staggering
infection, the subtle and not-so-
subtle instances of this malign
neglect and carelessness are ap-
proaching a level of very real
crisis, and we must not ignore
them just because no single
problem is fatal in itself. The
ideals of this college are becom-
ing endangered species. When
in a few years my younger sister
makes her college choice, I hope
I will be able to recommend
Agnes Scott to her, but as things
stand now I cannot be sure.

In closing I askthe curriculum
committee to reconsider this

The real world

by LYNN SUMMER

At a meeting in Atlanta Satur-
day of the Organization of
American States, Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger outlined
his country's new "good
partner" policy toward its Latin
American neighbors. Kissinger,
however, did not foresee a
resumption of U.S. diplomatic
relations with Cuba.

The death toll of five years'
violence in Northern Ireland rose
to 1000 Saturday. Earlier in the
week, British Prime Minister
Harold Wilson visited the capital
of Northern Ireland in support of
its coalition government.

Israeli and Syrian forces
engaged in their first air battle
since the October War in 1973,
as the -Middle East crisis
worsened. Ground fighting con-
tinued on the strategic Mt.
Hermon in the Golan Heights.

Voting by secret ballot April
22, the Israeli parliament
elected Labor Party member
Rabin to succeed Golda Meir as
prime minister. Rabin was the
Army Chief of Staff in 1 967 dur-
ing the Six Days War.

Globe-trotting diplomat Henry
Kissinger is expected to visit the
Middle East within ten days.

While the San Francisco
police were conducting the most
massive manhunt in the
department's history in an effort
to track down the "Zebra" killer,
another victim was claimed in

the bizarre series of slayings.
The number now stands at
twelve in those murdered on the
streets by an unidentified as-
sailant.

In the first quarter of 1 974, the
cost of living rose 1 .1 %, and con-
sumer prices increased
dramatically by 10%. Con-
currently, the gross national
product declined unfavorably
5.8%, the largest decrease in 1 6
years.

President Nixon appointed
federal energy chief William
Simon to be Treasury secretary;
Simon's former office will now
be held by his chief assistant,
John Sawhill.

The Republican party suffered
its worst loss in this year's*
congressional elections as
Democrat Robert Traxler
defeated Republican candidate
James Sparling in Michigan's
Eighth District. For the first time
in 42 years, the district's citizens
chose a Democrat for the House
seat, despite the President
appearing in Michigan to cam-
paign personally for Sparling.
The Republican loss was
interpreted as a setback to Mr.
Nixon.

Secretary of Army Howard
Callaway mitigated Lt. William
Calley's 20-year prison term by
reducing the sentence to ten
years; Lt. Calley was previously
convicted of the murder of 22 My
Lai civilians while serving in Viet
Nam.

Curriculum changes made

The newest get-rich-quick
business sell yourself out for
hostess duty at $5 a shift. You
could get the business of Sally
Whysitme who suddenly has to
go home because her goldfish
have contracted chicken pox.
Alice Doeslittle would also give
you her business because she
has to go to the Omni to
participate in the hiccupping
marathon. With all the hostess
desk wheeling and dealing that
goes on, you could make a
fortune going from dorm to dorm
taking shifts. And the job is
exciting. Picture this scene:

(Blind date comes up to desk
and asks for Sadie Applebee)
RIIINNNGGG!

"Second Winship!"

"Would you tell Sadie she has
a guest in the lobby?"

"HOLD IT!! What does he look
like? Is he cute? Can you talk?
Tell me SOMETHING! ... OK if
he's cute, say 'the linoleum
needs cleaning' but if he's a real
bomb, say 'the light is blinking
on and off.' "

(After a good, long look) "Uhh,
the linoleum is blinking on and
off Oh! (cheerfully) that's just
our codeword so they'll know
this is really the hostess desk
calling and not some prankster."

Blind dates will believe almost
anything.

In addition to presiding over

blind dates, the hostess com-
mands the television. She, and
she alone, decides whether to
watch the Marry More Tailors
Show or Starchie Chunker. This
requires the ability to rule
wisely, for ruling the television is
only one step below ruling the
world, as President Nixon has
often pointed out.

Another major qualification
for this job is the ability to lie
with a straight face. Again:

RRIINNNGGG!

"Third Inman"

"Tell Mabel she has a guest in
the lobby."

"STOP Is he tall with dark
hair and glasses?"

"Yes."

"I'm not here! Tell hir
anything, but I don't want to se
that creep tonight!"

"She's not here. Her room-
mate says she's taking her
mother, who is sick 0 f the
Florida Panhandle Skin Rust to
Plum Nelly to see Dr. Horace
Freckle, the Florida Panhandle
Skin Rust specialist, who is
vacationing there. We don't
know when she'll be back but I'll
take a message."

So take inventory of yourself.
If you can wield power and have
absolute control over your facial
muscles, you may be the one.
Who knows someday you may
incorporate!

alteration in what were sound
and sensible requirements, and I
respectfully remind them that all
change is not progress. Any
students who might be affected I
urge not to exercise this option
just because it is available or
because at first glance it may
look like a "good deal."
Sophomore English is uniquely
valuable and deserves better

than getting lost in the shuffle of
course selection; as for the two-

never really gets anything
worthwhile for nothing.

installment in a two-part article
dealing with curriculum
changes for next year.)

Other course changes in the
English department include a
new interdepartmental major
"History-English Literature."
The major is "designed much
like the 'Art History-English and
American Literature'
interdepartmental major with
attention to historica I
periodicals." The "Art History-
English and American
Literature" interdepartmental
major has been retitled "Art His-
tory-English Literature." Miss
Gary explained that the former
title was redundant with its
"American" since all the
courses in the English
department are taught in the
English language.

Additional changes in the
department of English are drop-
ping English 316, drama other
than Shakespeare and revising
the format for English 211 "In-
troduction to English
Literature." Effective 1974-75
English 211 may be taken for
either nine hours or six hours
credit. Students electing the
course for six hours credit must
take English 212 "Studies in
Modern English Literature" spr-
ing quarter for three hours
credit. English 212 will have
three sections centered around
different topics. Associate
Professor Bradham will teach a
section entitled ' 'The
Wasteland"; Associate Profes-
sor Nelson will teach a section
entitled "The Integrated Self";
and Assistant Professor Pinka
will teach a section entitled "The
Quest."

Miss Bradham will also con-
duct a five -hour seminar dealing
with science fiction winter
quarter. Permission of the
instructor is requisite.

The history and political
science department is dropping
several courses and adding
several new courses. Courses
being dropped are History 304
"The Soviet Union," History 307
"Intellectual History of Modern
Europe," History 316 "Old
South to 1 850" and History 31 9
"Diplomatic History of the
United States." The history
courses 351 "Expansion of the
Western World into Africa,
Asia," 352 "Africa and Asia in
the 20th Century" and 353
"Modern India" have been
dropped and replaced by the
courses 355 "Sub-Saharan
Africa" in the fall, 356 "South
and Southeast Asia to World
War I" in the winter and "South
and Southeast Asia in the 20th
Century" in the spring. All three
courses are for five credit hours
and have no prerequisite.
Another new course is History
322 "Intellectual History of the
United States to 1865" for five
hours credit fall quarter. As-
sociate Professor Gignilliat will
teach this course.

New political science courses
are Political Science 323 "Is-
sues of Public Policy" and
Political Science 338 "Topics in
Comparative Politics." Assistant
Professor Cochran will teach
323, and Assistant Professor Orr
will teach 338. Both courses are
for five hours credit and will be
taught fall quarter. Mr. Orr will
also teach Political Science 348
"Studies in World Order"winter
quarter for five hours credit.

The mathematics department
will feature a new course
Mathematics 345 "Topics in
Mathematics." The course
"basically for math majors" has
a prerequisite of permission of
the chairman of the department
and will be taught spring quarter
for five hours credit. The topic for
spring 1975 is "Number
Theory."

Scholarship honors
retiring professor

The M. Kathryn Glick
Scholarship Fund has been es-
tablished by the Alpha Delta
chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, the
national classics fraternity, Patty
Hughes, chapter president, has
announced.

The chapter, beginning last
fall, wrote to the approximately
200 former members of Eta
Sigma Phi (since Miss Glick
joined the faculty in 1937) as-
king for their financial support to
"a lasting gift" to the College
"which would honor Miss
Glick." The chapter received
over $2,849 in gifts for the
scholarship.

Patty explained that the
scholarship would be annual

since the College will spend only
the interest and not the prin-
ciple. Although preference will
be given to students interested
in classics, any student may
receive the scholarship. It is
hoped that the scholarship will
grow each year through new
contributions.

Miss Glick learned of the Glick
Scholarship Fri., Apr. 1 9 at a
party for Eta Sigma Phi, given
before the reception honoring
retiring faculty.

Current members of Eta
Sigma Phi are Camilla Brannen,
Mary Wade, Anna Case, Sally
Echols, Anne Walker, Karen
White, Susi Brinkley, and Beth
Meaney.

Frost on the afternoon of Oct. 1 5,
and Mr. Brooks will present his
paper that night.

A music program and
reminiscences about Frost at
Agnes Scott will highlight the
celebration of Frost's 1 00th year
on the morning of Oct. 1 6. That
afternoon, Mr. Wilbur and Mr.
Brooks will simply talk about
Robert Frost's poetry. Mrs.
Pepperdene noted how
generous and how willing both
men are to have this
conversation, which will be
taped.

Richard Wilbur, the noted poet
who teaches Milton at Wellesley
College, will read that night from
his own poetry a particularly
appropriate tribute to another
poet, Mrs. Pepperdene stated.

Adele Cunningham, a Scott
alumna, who first suggested the
Frost Centennial and wrote to
both Mrs. Pepperdene and Dr.
Perry, died nearly a month ago.

Steele reveals statistics
on high school class rank

n-

Editor's note: Laura Steele, Director of Admissions, has given the Profile the following
formation:

I have become aware of a rumor that the present freshman class is less well qualified for Agnes
Scott than previous freshman classes a rumor that has surfaced periodically over the years.
Before an unchecked rumor damages freshman morale and pride, I would like to presentsome in-
formation about the class of 1977 in comparison with the classes of 1974, 1975 and 1976 as
entering freshmen (current seniors, juniors, and sophomores). This information concerns the
high school rank in class, recognized nationally and at Agnes Scott as the most important single
item in predicting a student's performance in college.

As is noted in the chart below, 37.83% of this year's freshmen ranked in the upper 5% of their
high school classes, as compared with 27.90% of the freshmen who entered in 1 970, 32.06% of
those who entered in 1971 , and 31 .39% of those who entered in 1 972.

Edouard Manet, Paul Cezanne,
Claude Monet, Georges Seurat,
Henri Rousseau and Edvard
Munch. These men, according to
Lord Clark, are "pioneers of
what we still call modern pain-
ting."

The series premiered in the
U.S. at the National Gallery in
May, 1972. Most of the films
were made in France with the
exception of the film dealing
with Edvard Munch. This film
was made in Norway, Munch's
native country.

The film series, which was
produced through a grant from
the National Endowment for the
Humanities, is distributed
without charge to colleges and
universities with enrollments
under 2000 through the
National Gallery's Extension
Service. Through this service
Agnes Scott also was able to

present the Civilisation series
last year. The National Gallery
offers such series to qualifying
colleges through the President
of the College rather than
through the art history or
humanities departments. This
sponsorship by the President
emphasizes the availability of
the series to the whole student
body. As a recipient of the
service, Agnes Scott must
present two showings of each
film one for the College and
the other for the general public.

Kenneth Clark, author and
narrator of the series, served as
art director of the National
Gallery, London (1934-45), was
Slade Professor of Fine Arts,
Oxford University and chaired
the Arts Council of Great Britain
from 1953-60. He has written
many books on art and for his
Civilisation series is the
recipient of the National Gallery
of Art's Medal for Distinguished
Service to Education in Art.

The films dealing with the
lives and works of Edouard
Manet and Paul Cezanne were
shown Apr. 23 and 30 respec-
tively. The schedule for the
remaining films is as follows:

May 7 Claude Monet
May 14 Georges Seurat
May 21 Henri Rousseau
May 28 Edvard Munch

Student quality

Our thanks to Miss Steele for the information she has provided
which appears on page 1 of this issue. We, like everyone else, are
aware of rumors about declining student ability but had the im-
pression that the rumors concerned all of us (not just the Class of
'77), for we all entered Agnes Scott during a period of declining
enrollments.

We request that Miss Steele or the office of the Dean of the Faculty
(which ever is appropriate) furnish the student body and faculty
through the Profile with class grade point averages (GPA) and the
average number of hours earned per student during the freshmen
year for the past ten years

Agnes Scott, like almost all other colleges, does not consider failed
courses when determining grade point average. For example, if you
take 5 courses, fail one and make four A's, your GPA is 3.0, just as it
would be if you had made five A's. The failed course still appears on
your transcript although it is not reflected in the class GPA. Dropping
a course does not penalize a student when hergrade point average is
computed. Also, freshmen are sometimes allowed to take lighter
academic loads of 12 or 13 hours.

It is expected that each freshman earn 45 hours 1 5 hours per
quarter. If more courses are being or were failed by those of us who
are current students at Agnes Scott, or if lighter academic loads are
being taken by more students; it would not be reflected in the class
GPA but would in the average number of hours earned per
freshman. Further, a ten year period would be more helpful in
determining long-term trends.

Our thanks to Miss Steele for her cooperation; we hope rumors
will be laid to rest, too.

Campus changes

Nearly every one of us has complained at one time or another that
Agnes Scott is behind the times. Now that changes are being made
both in our curriculum and on the campus itself, we lament the
corruption of the "liberal arts" and the disfiguring of our beautiful
grounds.

We fear that our "academic standards" may be declining, and our
fears become centered around the construction work underway on
campus. We protest that money is being used to air condition the
library instead of to buy more books for it.

We must stop blaming "ditches and drinking," among other
scapegoats, for what we consider to be too drastic changes in our
curriculum. We must also realize that more flexible course re-
quirements do not necessarily reflect lower standards. There are
now several relatively new studies open to us, and our modified area
requirements enable us to be exposed to a wider range of
knowledge.

We cannot deny that the pure sciences andthesocial sciences are
as much a part of a liberal education today, as are the subjects com-
monly classed as the "humanities." Those of us who prefer the more
traditional studies can still concentrate on those studies if we
choose; but how ironic it would be for our "liberal" curriculum to be
"bound" by tradition.

Summer housing

To the Editor:

When first informed of the
decision to rent the cottages this
summer I was extremely en-
thusiastic. My enthusiasm con-
tinued until the policies
concerning the rental were an-
nounced, and now I am disap-
pointed almost to the point of
anger. The price, payment
schedule and the regulations are
absolutely atrocious, and if I
were the only person holding
this opinion, this letter would not
be written. However, I have
heard no positive comments
concerning the policies and
many negative arguments.

I consulted Miss Jones about
the committee's decisions as to
policy, and when pressed about
what factors determined the
decision of $ 1 50 for 77 days oc-
cupancy, she avoided the issue,
saying she did not know,
although she had been a
member of the committee. Most
students had been under the im-
pression that the college would
make little or no profit from the
rental; that only costs were to be
recovered. 13 occupants in one
cottage would net the college
$1 950. This is not a paltry sum,
and certainly is more than
enough to pay utilities, rent and
maid service on one house for
less than three months. Perhaps
the cost of salaries of employees
to run the steam plant to provide
hot water had to be considered. I
had understood that college em-
ployees were paid for the
summer period when not ac-
tively working. And with conven-
tions going on, many will be
working anyway.

In addition to this, the cottages
at this point cannot
economically compete with out-
side sources. An apartment with
roommates rivals the cottages in
price, and a private room, often
including carpet, private en-
trance, kitchen privileges, and
sometimes even television and
telephone is only $1 2-$1 8 more
per FULL month.

On the subject of payment
schedule, few students have
$1 50 now, nor will they have it
by June 1 1 . The whole point of
staying in Atlanta for the
summer is to earn money to live
on not spend it before a job
can be found. Also, rental
deposits are not uncommon,
however paying the entire rental
fee before occupancy is, at least
to my knowledge.

As for the policy concerning
social regulations, certainly the
college is within its rights as lan-
dlord to impose on its tenants
any regulations it desires.
However, how will the rules be
enforced? Will the occupants
elect a Dorm Council 7 Will
Interdorm be called into session
mid-summer to pass judgment
on a secious infraction? Of
course by living elsewhere the
restrictions will not apply, and
individuals can have all the
personal liberties they can stand
or impose on THEMSELVES

Perhaps the administration
fears granting the liberal
changes so long talked about by
students, even if only for a
summer. Once granted
privileges are difficult to rescind.
Is the administration afraid to
see that such changes might
work?

Aside from all the above men-
tioned points, however, comes
the one that most concerns me.
Many students have agreed, and
I fear it may be true that the ad-
ministration is simply too lazy to
hassle with the details of the&m-
traditional rental of facilities.
Therefore they make it so im-
practical and expensive that no
one will want to live there. And
Miss Jones emphasized to me
that the college did not solicit
renters. If this is true, it is
certainly sad it shows that a
virtually irreparable gap has
grown between students and
administration, creating an at-
mosphere permeated by dislike,
suspicion, and mistrust.

Reinhart supporters

To the editor:

Concerning the letter sub-
mitted to the April 1 9 issue of the
Profile by Professor Reinhart,
we would like to say that we
believe you to be extremely
naive in your editorial comment,
misinterpreting the content of
Mr. Reinhart's letter. In our
opinion he is stating what he
considers a very real problem
that exists at Agnes Scott the
lack of encouragement and
motivation felt by many
members of the faculty. Also, we
believe that he is not suggesting
that there be more ad-
ministration as a solution to the
problem, rather better ad-
ministration. There needs to be
better interpersonal relations
between administration and
faculty thereby benefiting the
students. These relations should
be fostered through the office of
the Dean of the Faculty. If the
faculty is motivated, then the
possibility of students being
motivated is greatly increased.
In essence, Mr. Reinhart is not
saying that Scott is disintegrat-
ing quite the opposite. He
seems to be genuinely
concerned about itsfuture and is
suggesting a specific solution to
a specific problem which he
feels (and we are inclined to
believe that many others feel)
exists on this campus. The
editorial comment, in my
opinion, not only misinterpreted
the essence of Mr. Reinhart's
letter, but the last paragraph
(concerning ditches and wishes)
was entirely unrelated to his
letter Your defensive stance
appears to be an overreaction to
what we believe Mr. Reinhart
was trying to say. We must
recognize our weaknesses in
order to combat them and not
cover them up with such trivia as

ditches and drinking. We believe
that the enrollment will in-
crease, in part, with the advent
of better faculty-administration
relations which in turn would
provide a more stimulating basis
for learning. As you stated, the
"college is about teaching and
learning," but all problems must
be confronted and not hidden or
overlooked as you and others
have chosen to do.

Sincerely,
Sara Barrett
Lucy Brockman

Editor's note: "The lack of en-
couragement and motivation
felt by many members of the
faculty" is a problem within the
individual teacher. Good
teaching, it seems, like
Milton's virtue is its "own
reward."

Library hours

To the student body:

One of my concerns this year
as Librarian at Agnes Scott
College is the hours that our
library is open for use. Some
students are adamant about
having the library open longer
hours in the evenings.

The value of a library may be
measured in various ways in-
cluding the quality of the book
collection, the number of
volumes in the collection, the
quality and training of the staff,
and the services available to its
clientele. We are fortunate to
have a sizeable collection of
books and other materials that
are generally of high quality, a
staff with experienced
librarians, anda library schedule
which permits adequate time for
students to use its resources.

Presently the library is open
88.5 hours per week when
classes are in session. Also, dur-
ing the period preceeding and
during exams, the library isopen
95 hours per week until exams
are completed. Next year we
plan to add 2 hours to the Friday
schedule so that the library will
be open until 10:30 p.m. on Fri-
day evenings.

Whenever possible we try to
have a librarian in charge of the
building. It is unfair to expect a
student assistant to provide the
level of guidance to another
student seeking information
than would be provided by a
librarian. Professional library as-
sistance is available most of the
hours that the library is open.
Also, because of possible
emergency situations that
would require the presence of a
librarian, it is unwise to leave
one or two students in charge of
the building at night.

Since April 4, we have been
counting the number of women
students in the library at 9:50
p.m., Mondays through
Thursdays. We have found that
an average of 21 women or ap-
proximately 4% fo the student

The real world

(continued from page 2)

body are using the library at this
time. Probably a more detailed
study including a computer
analysis could be made of library
use. However, it appears that
light use is made of the library at
this time of the evening.

It would be nice to have the
library open until 12:00, seven
nights a week. It would be nice to
compensate faculty, staff, and
administrators with a 10% cost
of living increase to meet rising
costs of living. It would be nice to
maintain sizeable teaching
departments despite a declining
student enrollment. However,
administrators must make
decisions on how funds are
allocated to meet the many
needs and demands of a college.
Part of my responsibility is to
make recommendations on
library hours to meet student
needs. Presently, I believe our
hours are generally adequate to
meet real needs. We will con-
tinue to carefully watch the
library use patterns.

One further note we are
beginning serious planning of
how areas of the library will be
utilized when the building is
renovated. At the meeting of the
Library Committee last Friday,
the two new student members of
the Committee, Susi Pedrick and
Susannah Stevens expressed
little interest in my suggestion
that a smoking lounge be
planned in the library. If you
agree or disagree with this
feeling, it would be helpful for
me to know soon. If there is little
interest in a smoking lounge, we
will probably eliminate it from
the plans.

Sincerely,

Dale Luchsinger

The Metropolitan Opera will
be in Atlanta May 6-11 to
present the 64th Atlanta Opera
Season. The annual event is
conducted under the auspicesof
the Atlanta Music Festival As-
sociation, Inc., in cooperation
with the Atlanta Junior League.
Operas to be performed include
works by Verdi, Puccini, Rossini,
Strauss, Offenbach and Mozart.

Opera Week will begin Mon.,
May 6, with Verdi's I Vespri
Siciliani. The opera, a new
production for the Metropolitan
Opera Company, is set in
Palermo during the Middle Ages
and involves royal romance and
intrigue.

The second opera, also a new
production for the company, is
Les Contes d'Hoffman, by
Jacques Offenbach. There is a
prologue, which takes place in a
tavern, followed by three acts
and an epilogue, again set in the
tavern. Each of the acts is a story
of one of Hoffman's un-
successful attempts to find love.
Soprano Joan Sutherland will
have a leading role in this opera,
which will be presented Tuesday
night.

Mozart's famous Don
Giovanni will be performed
Wednesday evening. The story,
briefly, concerns a libertine who,
after several amatory episodes,
is confronted with his sins and,
failing to repent, is damned.
Sherrill Milres has the title role.

performed. This light comic
opera by Richard Strauss takes
place in Vienna during the reign
of Maria Theresa. Marion
Lippert plays the aging heroine
who surrenders her young lover
to a younger woman in a work
full of disguises, love, and

Fund and theatre re-naming
honor the retiring Winter

by EVA GANTT

A speech and drama fund has
been established, the Blackfriars
Theater has been renamed, and
a portrait has been presented to
the College to honor Roberta
Winter, chairman of the
Department of Speech and
Drama, who retires at the end of
this session; Ruth McAliley,
president of Blackfriars, an-
nounced the creation of the fund
and unveiled the portrait of Miss
Winter in ceremonies following
the final performance of Blithe
Spirit on Sat., May 4.

Blackfriars sent letters to over
1000 former members of the
drama club and friends of Miss
Winter, the letters requesting
contributions to the fund.
Almost $1500 has been
received in response to the
letters. The Board of Trustees
will add another $2000 to the
fund. The Board is giving this
amount to each of the four
departments from which a
professor is retiring this year.

Responsibilities

For an entire year, Agnes Scott has discussed the viability of a
liberal arts college and the intrinsic worth of the liberal arts. The sub-
ject has been pursued publicly in speeches from Miss Matfeld for
Honors Day, Mr. Leyburn for Founder's Day, Mrs. Pepperdene for
Sophomore Parents Weekend and with Rep Council, and Mrs.
Woods for Mortar Board Convocation. The Trustees Committee on
Student Affairs has turned again and again to the question as have
students and faculty in private discussions. The majority have con-
cluded that the liberal arts have a continuing vitality This vitality we
find very difficult to put a name to or label on. The "intellectual at-
mosphere" is a poor description of the joy of attending a college like
Agnes Scott, but it seems to be the label most often used.

Attendance

Whatever we call the peculiar and particular quality of this college,
it is maintained, at least in part, by our acceptance of three res-
ponsibilities. First, we ought, for our own sakes, support the public
activities of the College. This spring, Dr. Himmelfarb, a dis-
tinguished historian and Dr. Ridgway, a noted archaeologist, have
lectured here. Programs like the Writing Festival and Glee Club
concert with the Candler Choraliers have been sponsored. The
attendance at these events can best be described as miserable. For
us to plead busyness is a poor excuse, since these are the events for
which one makes the time. The lectures and events are planned for
us, often by us, and it seems we miss a major part of our life at college
if we neglect these special activities.

Academics

Secondly, the student has a responsibility for her classes. The
strength of the academic program of the College is dependent upon
faculty and students. The Committee on Academic Problems has in
the past often served as a means for students to consider and
comment on the way of life at Agnes Scott. Although fallen into
disuse over the past two years, the interest of the student body would
revitalize CAP and make it a useful forum again.

Service

Our third responsibility seems to me to be service. The College
needs a variety of talents. In every task, there is drudgery, but there is
a pleasure and satisfaction that outweigh the mechanical efforts
that accompany our creative ones. We come to a College built, main-
tained and strengthened by those who served "with a willing heart."
We remind ourselves of this service as we go to convocation in
Gaines Chapel, use McCain Library, or plan to attend a Blackfriars'
production in Winter Theater. Their lives serve as inspiration more
than example.

Our choice of Agnes Scott is our assumption of these res-
ponsibilities. There are others which I have not mentioned. Reading
what I have written, it sounds extremely moral andas Miss Glickhas
pointed out, being moral is out of fashion. I am not berating anyone
as much as I am reminding myself, and perhaps you, of what it
means to be a student here.

To the editor:

As Chairman of the Board of
Trustees Student Affairs Com-
mittee, I want to express
genuine gratitude to the
students who have helped us
feel the pulse of the Agnes Scott
community by their attendance
at the February and April
meetings with members of the
committee. It was a privilege to
have the opportunity to be with
all of you in a very informal,

relaxed atmosphere and to listen
to your thoughts and concerns
about the campus. Your pride in
the campus and your zealous en-
thusiasm for its continuing
excellence is obvious to us. I
speak for the other members of
the committee who were in
attendance . . . Mr. Gaines, Dr.
Philips, and Mrs. Read ... in say-
ing that Agnes Scott is certainly
one of our top priorities, and we
realize that the strength of all of

Agnes Scott's tomorrows is to be
found in the quality of com-
mitment now of all those in-
volved in this great community
... students, faculty, ad-
ministration, alumnae, and
trustees. . . . With God's
guidance may we continue to
unite in offering to Agnes Scott
our very best resources to keep it
a vibrant, vital academic com-
munity.

In the world's largest art theft,
1 9 masterpiece paintings valued
at $20 million were stolen from
millionaire owner Sir Alfred Beit
in Blessington, Ireland and
recovered undamaged 200
miles away in County Cork eight
days later. Police suspect the
outlawed Irish Republican
Army's Provisional Wing to be
responsible for the theft, which
included works of Rubens,
Vermeer, and Goya.

The drawing of a demarcation
line in the Golan Heights
between Israeli and Syrian
forces was the subject of
Secretary of State Henry Kis-

Jerusalem where it was an-
nounced that Soviet leader
Gromyko would meet with Dr.
Kissinger Tuesday on the island
of Capri to further discuss
disengagement plans.

In a meeting Wednesday

which lasted until midnight, the
House Judiciary Committee
voted 20-18 to charge President
Nixon with noncompliance in
supplying the Watergate tapes
requested in its subpoena.
Although deciding the edited
transcripts released by the
President Monday were inade-
quate, the Committee did not
cite the President for contempt
of Congress.

This week, the House
Judiciary Committee
commences an intensive inves-
tigation of the documents and
tapes already in its possession.
A report will then be made of its
findings to the House, which in

Supermarkets and drugstores
are experiencing a flood of
personal hygiene materials. Do
you realize that most of these are
soaps? Why does one need so
many cleansers? In pioneer days
they used only one soap for
everything. We use different
products for clothes, dishes,
body, hair and teeth. They really
aren't necessary. Recently, on a
morning after the night before,
Gloria Drinkstoomuch got con-
fused with all the soaps. She
washed her hair with Flab and
did her laundry with Dose-up.
There was no noticable
difference although she did
wonder why her athletic socks
had that minty green smell.

It is probably a plot of
Lockedher and Scrambled. A
typical interview for a job in their
research lab goes like this:

Well, Mr. Plentysud, the most
important qualification for em-
ployment in our lab is creativity.

What new products can you en-
vision?

Sir, soap has always been my
field. I have found thatthe nailof
the left big toe benefits from a
mild lye soap. If you employ me, I
will develop this product.

Good Marvelous! I've
always thought the big toe
needed a special soap and that
will go well with our new

dandelion left ankle wash

We've got most of the body taken
care of now . . . Hmm . . . Do you
think we can scent it tomato? We
are promoting the vegetable
garden smell now. You know our
slogan "Beat the artificial

Spirits of the past

Editor's note: Spirit Committee

by JOY CUNNINGHAM

On a lonely night in the library,
if your mind is boggled by books
and numbed by the day's drilling,
take a quick study break and get
a few laughts from past issues of
The Profile and its great-
grandmother The Agonistic.
Perhaps there we could find
solutions to some of the
problems that seem to be nagg-
ing our campus. The sophomore
class of '26 '27 cherished a
concept of a liberal arts
education that perhaps could be
revived. The sophomores, in

has contributed the following:

order to uphold their Alma
Mater, pledged to teach in-
coming freshmen "the
housewifely duties so dear to a
maiden's heart such as
sweeping, bed-making, etc., and
to show her the simple manner
of a school girl. " (The Agonistic,
Sept. 29, 1926) Moreover, the
erudite sophomores forbade
freshmen to boost their beauty
with any sort of cosmetic so that
"their natural physiognomy"
could be "rightfully discerned."
Ah, those were the days when
we were all united as the "plain-
faced sisteren" of Agnes Scott.

Arts Festival opens here

by ANN FINCHER

Arts Festival of Atlanta, Inc.,
will present the twenty-second
annual Arts Festival of Atlanta in
Piedmont Park May 12-19. The
Festival is open to the public.

The Festival, one of the oldest
municipal outdoor art shows in
the nation, is a non-profit
organization that encourages
southern artists and provides
cultural stimulation for the
Atlanta community. This
stimulation includes exhibits of
paintings, sculptures,
photography and handicrafts,
performing arts, and lectures

and demonstrations by
nationally known artists.

The 1974 exhibition will
feature 200 pieces from a variety
of art media, including African
Bobo and Dan masks, a Dufy
watercolor "Flowers" and a
limited edition, handsigned Miro
lithograph. These works will be
sold in addition to jewelry, tapes-
try and pottery.

The festival also serves as a
showcase for many performing
groups. Last year during the
eight-day festival, more than
250,000 people enjoyed
performances of the Atlanta

Romeo and Juliet
is disappointment

by SUSAN GAMBLE

For those who were captivated
by the Franco Zeffirelli produc-
tion of Romeo and Juliet five
years ago, the Alliance Theater
Company's presentation,
directed by Fred Chappell,
proves to be a keen disap-
pointment. Although the cos-
tumes are splendid, the music,
staging and lighting authen-
tically Elizabethan, the essential
tragedy of the play is lost by
weak character portrayal on the
part of most of the company.

To begin with, Romeo and
Juliet are hampered by physical
considerations which make
them appear almost ludicrous:
the "star-crossed lovers" are,
further "crossed" by their
heights. As far as Juliet is
concerned, her tragedy is that of
a child; but the diminutive K. T.
Baumann, although she
possesses the right sense of
character, looks more like a pixie
sprite than a love-struck classic
heroine. Romeo (Davis Hall),
also singularly small in stature,
swoons and lurches about the
stage so much that he begins to
look as if he has the falling
sickness instead of a love-
smitten heart. Their essential
failure, however, lies in the lack
of that "intangible
genuineness" which simply
draws the line between a fine
actor and a fair one.

If we are fair-minded enough
to attribute our disappointment
with the hero and heroine to pre-
conceived notions due to past
laudable performances, we say,
"Ah, butthereare still the nurse,
Friar Lawrence, the Capulets
and Montagues and all the rest
to which Shakespeare gave so
much potential." Alas, our
hopes are doomed here also. The
Capulets (Mitchell Edmonds and
Mary Ann Hearn), and the Mon-
tagues (John MacEachron and
Deirdre Owens) are merely
satisfactory; Tybalt (Brad
Blaisdell), Benvolio (Gary
Deaton), and Paris (Howard
Brunner) do little to distinguish
themselves.

Dana Ivey's portrayal of the
nurse exudes the proper spark
and vitality Shakespeare so
artfully gave her, but Friar
Lawrence (Arthur Hammer)

commits the most fatal faux pas
I have ever seen done in a
production of Shakespeare: his
Batman-like exclamation in the
second act will appall the purist,
although it does remain con-
sistent with the insipidness and
half-hearted seriousness he
upholds through his entire
performance.

If the play has but one saving
grace, it is Mercutio. Those who
remember his highly acclaimed
performances in ATC's Count
Dracula and Tobacco Road will
once again be captivated by
Philip Pleasants' spirited ban-
dying as the ribald Mercutio. He
plays this many-faceted
character to its robust limit: from
the smutty jokes to the hot-
headed pride which leads to his
destruction, Mercutio runs away
with the show.

Regretfully, the play loses
whatever momentum it was
gainingthrough Mercutio's ram-
bunctious quarreling upon the
death of this gentleman in the
beginning of the third act. It is

tured.

The Atlanta Arts Festival
began as a two-day art exhibit of
seven artists in a studio
courtyard in the fall of 1954.
The following spring the Arts
Festival, with the cooperation of
Atlanta's Parks and Recreation
Department, moved to Piedmont
Park so that more citizens could
enjoy the Festival. Since 1954
attendance has multiplied ten
times.

The Arts Festival of Atlanta,
Inc., the agency which sponsors
the Festival, is a non-profit civic
and educational corporation
supported financially by dues-
paying members, business firms
and the city of Atlanta. Two
events held prior tothe May Fes-
tival contribute to the funding.
An Art Auction was held at
Phipps Plaza in March, and
Sammy Davis, Jr., gave a benefit
performance in Atlanta in April.
All proceeds from both the Art
Auction and the Sammy Davis,
Jr. Special Event will be used to
finance the Arts Festival.

During past years, both merit
prizes and scholarships and
grants have been awarded to
selected participants in the Arts
Festival. Prize money is available
through the contributions to the
Festival and the proceeds from
sales at the auction and in the
Park. Purchase awards make
possible the permanent collec-

Blithe Spirit
lacks polish

by BARBARA WILLIAMS

The Agnes Scott Blackfriars
closed their 1973-74 season
with an entertaining but un-
polished performance of Blithe
Spirit, a farce by the dis-
tinguished British playwright
Noel Coward. Although Blithe
Spirit is one of the Blackfriars'
most successful ventures in the
realm of comedy, the production
was marred by several players'
apparent unfamiliarity with their
lines. The momentum of the
show lagged and the audience
fidgeted while these actors
stumbled, mumbled, and
omitted parts of the script.
Fortunately, the other
performers knew their lines and
were able to brighten the
otherwise tedious dialogue.

Ruth McManus both saved
and stole the show with her
exuberant portrayal of Madame

Arcati, the aging medium called
in to conduct a seance. With her
jingling bracelets, flea-bitten fur
cape, and inimitable manner,
Madame Arcati dominated the
play from her first appearance
on stage to her last exit. Other
memorable performances in-
cluded Carolyn McKinney as
Mrs. Bradman and KateKuss-
row as Edith, a rather obtuse
but lovable maid.

The technical aspects and
special effects of Blithe Spirit
were remarkably well done and
quite effective. With minor
exceptions, make-up, costumes,
and set design were also well
planned and executed. Details
such as the wearing of platform
heels with a bath robe and the
hodgepodge of furniture styles
and accessories certainly
weren't aesthetically pleasing,
but they didn't seriously affect
the overall impact of the play.

Academy Theatre

Two psychological thrillers, Lanford Wilson's Home Free and
Olwen Wymark's Stay Where You Are, will be presented by the .
Academy Theatre tonight, tomorrow and next Friday and Saturday
(May 17 and 18).

Lanford Wilson is author also of The Hot'l Baltimore, The Rimers
of Eldritch and (with Tennessee Williams) the recent TV special, The
Migrants. In Home Free he sets in motion a brother and sister living
and dreaming together in their private, sequestered world. Martha
Rush plays Joanna, the sister who ventures outside, and Jeff
Woodward is Lawrence, who doesn't dare.

Agenteel young woman helps a rubbishy old woman home in Stay
Where You Are, and ends up doing just that: staying, ensnared
without strings, caught by her fear of losing control. Gay Griggs plays
Ellen, the trapped young woman; Yvonne Tenney is Nina, the
manipulating old woman; Bob Moyer plays Teddy, Nina's cohort; and
Larry Larson is David, Ellen's lover.

All performances begin at 8:30 p.m. Admissions Friday and Satur-
day are $2. Reservations can be secured by calling 261-8550.

Seed & Feed Theatre

Kelly's Seed and Feed Theatre will present Bertolt Brecht's Baal, a
powerful and brutal study of the Bohemian personality, every Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, tonight through June 2, at 8 p.m.

Baal, a traveling musician, is boorish, ugly, and amoral, but his
exuberant sensuality is perversely attractive. He constantly lusts for
"something with the face of a woman" but callously discards those
he seduces.

Kelly Morris has rewritten the play for the production at the Seed
and Feed Theatre. Original songs with lyrics by Tom Cullen and
music by Jack Ames, who also plays Baal, are interspersed
throughout nineteen short scenes.

Performances are at 166 Garnett Street. Reservations may be
made by calling 525-3962 between noon and 5 p.m.

Prater's Mill Fair

The Prater's Mill Country Fair, an arts and crafts show with a coun-
try fair atmosphere, will be held on May 1 1 and 12 at the historic
Prater's Mill near Dalton.

Some of the crafts to be represented and demonstrated are scrim-
shaw, the ancient art of etching on whale bone, metal sculpting,
charcoal portrait sketching, wood turning on a hand-operated lathe,
leather tooling, custom sign making, quilting and potting.

Entertainment at the fair includes local bands andcountry andfolk
singing groups. For children there will be pony rides and a covered
wagon pulled by four miniature mules, as well as a petting zoo of
small farm animals.

Country food is a specialty of the Prater's Mill Country Fair. Ladies

Profs make summer plans

Demo candidates
speak at Scott

by MARENE EMANUEL

Rep. George Busbee and Ms.
Kate McKenzie, representing
Sen. Bobby Rowan, were on
campus April 29 for a
gubernatorial forum sponsored
by the Young Democrats. Both
Busbee and Rowan are
Democratic candidates for
Governor of Georgia.

Busbee stated the main thrust
of his plans for the state would
include ethics, consumer rights,
and improved education. Busbee
calls himself a "workhorse" and
promises "common sense
government" if he is elected. He
emphasized the need for future
disclosures on sources of cam-
paign contributions and how the
money is spent. He proposed to
take stronger steps for con-
sumer protection through the
state Consumer Protection
Agency. Inthe area of education,
Busbee stressed the importance
of correcting deficiencies in the
system and providing more
money for improvement saying,
"more money for the education,
more education for the money."

When questioned, Busbee
said he would abolish the office
of the Lt Governor or give it
more power. In addition, Busbee
defended the Atlanta Police
Department, opposed any
legislation of drugs, and
defended the right of citizens to
bear arms (except hand guns) for
their own protection

Ms McKenzie spoke for Sen.
Rowan, calling him a "practical,
effective, popular politician."
Rowan's main areas of interest,
said Ms McKenzie. are in men-
tal health, conservation of

natural resources, and
education. His plans include a
mental health bill of rights for
patients, and an extended
program of rehabilitation for
former patients. In education,
Rowan is in favor of an early
childhood development
program, and more concern for
special education.

Lighting and sign
changes revealed

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR. GEORGIA 30030

May 17. 1974

by DELLA McMILLAN

This summer there will be an
over-all reorganization of Agnes
Scott's lighting marking part of a
projected five year plan for cam-
pus improvement. There have
been many complaints over the
years about the difficulty in fin-
ding one's way around the cam-
pus, Dr. Perry has noted. It has
also been noted that adequate
and safe lighting has not been
expanded with additions.

A five-year improvement
program of the current campus
has been formulated by the
Trustees Buildings and Grounds
Committee in conjunction with
landscape architect Clyde Rob-
bins. It was decided to first
concentrate on development of
the campus lighting and marking
systems. In a February meeting,
Mr. Robbins presented the plans
to an informal group of faculty,
administration, alumnae, and
students. The plans were
reviewed and approved. Further
opinions were sought at various
plan-viewings held outside the
President's office.

Originally it was hoped to con-
tinue the present system of
lighting. The old posts, however,
are no longer reasonably
available. It was discovered that
thirteen different outdoor fixture
designs are already used on
campus. The Board decided to

change to a uniform lighting
system of mercury-vapor lamps.
Additional architects and
designers were consulted on the
project.

The basic campus lighting
decided upon will be an eighteen
inch bronze acrylic globe on an
eight foot tapered bronze pole.
The globes will be a darker, more
smokey color than those in use
at the Emory Law School and
presumably will be less
noticeable. The lights throw an
effective but softer light than the
current incandescent ones. In
less visible areas there will be
arms of lights mounted on
square tapering poles. Most of
these especially those that
light large areas will in
daylight be hidden by the foliage.
These lights will be mounted in
single, double, and quadruple
groupings. Wiring for the light
system is being placed during
the construction now underway.

There will also be numerous
magnolia green signs with white
lettering put up around campus
and Decatur. There will be five
entrance signs, thirteen in-
dicating parking areas, three
campus maps, and nineteen
special direction signs of varying
sizes. There will also be several
small signs giving directions to
the college placed in town. The
signs will all carry the same

Science library collection
named in Bridgman's honor

by PATTY PEARSON

The biology library in
Campbell Hall was renamed in
honor of the retiring Josephine
Bridgman on April 19. A plaque
with the library's new name has
been received and will be placed
upon the door. In addition to the
new name, the library will be
rearranged to make room for
reference books for the biology
classes. New shelves, a round
table and chairs, and a new rack
for journals will also be added.

The biology book collection,
not simply the room, has been
named for Miss Bridgman in
case of reorganization and the
collection has to be moved to
another room.

All alumnae that graduated
with biology majors since Miss
Bridgman came to Agnes Scott
were contacted and had a part in
bestowing the honor.

in its original Washington
semester which concerns itself
with the study of the American
government in action. Jill
Johnson will study under the
International Developmental
Semester while Nancy White
will take part in its new
economics program.

Not only does the American
government program give in-
sight to the student on
governmental procedures and
activities but it also enables the
student to become familiar with
sources for studying specific
governmental problems. Becky
Thompson is planning to do a
project on "the inter-
bureaucratic struggle between
the Law Enforcement As-
sistance Administration (which
funds local law enforcement)
and the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation." C. J. Beysselance, a
junior next year, will do research
on the committees' role in
Congress with focus on a
particular committee. Receiving
one course credit, each student
decides whether he will take a
course or be an intern for a
semester. The elective is chosen
from the regular curriculum of
The American University while
the internship is arranged by the
student and his advisor with an
appropriate legislative, ad-
ministrative, or political office.
Both political science majors,
Becky is undecided right now
about an elective while C. J. is

undecided about whether to tak
an elective or to do a
internship.

The Internationa
Development Semester prograr
is located in Washington, D.C. i
order to let the student get a firs
hand look at activities of th
many governmental
international and privat
organizations as they concen
themselves with th
development of countries. Also

Johnson's topic is Developmen

Communications

The current "operative" definition of "communication" seems to
iclude only prompt notification of the student body after a decision
as been made. A better, more effective notion would be to include

udents in the decision-making process from the very beginning.

A new president and new administrator of business affairs
Dupled with a physical plant that needs improvements will, by
ecessity, produce change. We recognize this. Many of us are
Dncerned with these changes and others such as in the daily
:hedule, academic program, college calendar and possible
location of bookstore and mail boxes. These areas concern
[udents, and students should be involved in the decision-making
efore announcement time arrives.

We do not advocate student participation where it is improper. The
stirement policies for faculty and non-contract employees which
/ill be printed in next week's Profile are not areas in which students
ave sought to be involved. However, many changes with which
tudents may legitimately concern themselves come as surprises to
le student body.

These surprises have two unfortunate consequences: 1) student
nd administration frustration as shown in the last informal con-
ocation and 2) the number of rumors which the College has
enerated this year. Student frustration, it seems to us, is fostered
/hen the students learn of changes only after the decision is made,
hey are denied any valuable contribution, and any commenttends
) be praise or carping not constructive input to the vital decisions
yhich daily influence all our lives. We feel frustrated because our in -
olvement is always after the fact.

Rumors are the second evidence of lack of constructive com-
munication. Vergil characterizes rumor in the fourth book of The
veneid:

Rumour, the swiftest traveler of all the ills on earth,
Thriving on movement, gathering strength as it goes, at the start
A small cowardly thing, it soon puffs itself up
A terrible, grotesque monster, each feather upon whose body-
Incredible though it sounds has a sleepless eye beneath it,
And for every eye she has also a tongue, a voice and a pricked
ear.

lumor has certainly not reached these proportions on our campus,
ut it seems to us that an inordinate number of newspaper articles
nd informal convocations have been devoted to laying certain
umors to rest. We are pleased that the administration recognizes
hat rumors are unhealthy and has tried this year to correct misap-
.rehensions quickly. But it would be far better if rumors never
tarted. We would suggest that failure to include students in making
lecisions leads to rumors about the decisions which are soon to be
>ronounced.

However, students should not be included in decision-making
imply to stop the rumor factory ortocreatea senseof trust between
idministration and students, but rather, because students have a
ireat deal to offer the College. The attitude that our love and concern
or the College is appreciated but that our lack of "expertness"
saves us unqualified to speak is creeping professionalism inap-
>ropriate in a liberal arts college. Of course, we recognize the im-
>ortance of expert advice in changes in the physical plant, but we
vould rather that matters of taste be voted by the enti re student body
ind faculty, or by a committee with members from the student body
ind faculty, than decided by lighting engineers or architects whose
:ontact with Agnes Scott is limited to blueprints and a few campus
ours. Further, the students certainly qualify, along with thefaculty,
is experts on the academic program, college calendar, and life at the
College.

We would offer the plan used for the selection of the new dean of
;tudents as the model. Like many other students, weappreciate both
>pportunities to talk with candidates for the position, and the
students members of the search committee to whom we may reflect
)ur views.

Open administration is the most effective kind because it creates
in atmosphere of trust, provides a forum for all opinions and ideas,
ind reflects what Agnes Scott should be a partnership of
students, faculty and administration trying to realize common goals.

West German Chancellor and
Nobel Peace Prize-winner Willy
Brandt resigned from his office
Monday as his governing Social
Democratic Party was shaken by
revelations of high-level es-
pionage conducted by the East
German Government. Mr.
Brandt appointed Finance
Minister Helmut Schmidt,
known for his pro-American
views, as his successor.

While fighting between Israel
and Syria continued in the
troublesome Golan Heights,
Secretary of State Henry Kis-
singer again met with the Israeli
cabinet Saturday to receive

disengagement proposals. The
proposals were then delivered to
Damascus Sunday by Dr. Kis-
singer. Possibilities for a peace
settlement this week are con-
sidered slim.

Washington was besieged
this week-end by rumors of an
impending Presidential
resignation. The President,
however, in an address
delivered at the Oklahoma State
University commencement,
vowed he would "never give
up." Although he was generally
well-received and given a stan-
ding ovation at the conclusion of
his speech, Republicans on
Capitol Hill increasingly applied
pressure last week for his

resignation.

In a closed-door session
Thursday the House Judiciary
Committee began a thorough
investigation of evidence related
to the Watergate break-in and its
subsequent attempted cover-up.
The inquiry's purpose is to
determine whether grounds for
presidential impeachment exist
based upon the facts. Other
areas of presidential activity are
also to be considered.

RC 1 67: policy for alcoholic
beverage use on campus

off campus circulation / Sandra Saseen manager; Frances

To the editor:

The members of the Rep Com-
mittee for revising the policy
regarding alcoholic beverages
would like to inform the student
body of our progress. With ad-
vice from the Office of the Dean
of Students and after
examination of past policies, the
committee has proposed
RC 167 printed below. The
straw vote taken last quarter in-
dicated that a large number of
students desire a change in the
policy regarding alcoholic
beverages. But the vote also in-
dicated that RC 165 is not the
answer at this time. In an effort
to revise the present policy, the
committee is summarizing our
past work and asking for sugges-
tions from the student body. A
"guidance" box will be placed in
the mailroom where student
opinions can be deposited.

As the RC states, the proposed
policy allows the serving of
alcoholic beverages at on-cam-
pus social functions. Such ac-
tivities must be approved by the
Board of Student Activities and
the Dean of Students. The entire
campus must be invited. Prior to
the event, a form will be com-
pleted to show that money other
than SGA funds is to be used.
Other details such as clean-up,
storage and designation of the
area of the function will also be
specified on this form.

The Judiciary Committee in
conjunction with Honor Court
will work out details regarding
infractions and penalties. Mr.
Henderson, who was contacted
about storage of alcoholic
beverages on campus, feels that
details can be handled.

If adopted, this RC will be
automatically reviewed one year
after taking effect. The RC may
be rescinded at any time by the
Administrative Committee In
view of the trial basis of this
policy, the committee expects
students to enforce regulations

It was a moment of glory for Agnes Scott. In a fit of analytical ac-
tivity, Miss Sarah Flippy, chairman of the math department, dis-
covered a new number bleen. This integer falls between six and
seven in its value. As expected, the consequences of this discovery
were staggering:

Miss Flippy held night classes for first-grade teachers from the
Atlanta area to teach them how to count with bleen. According to
Miss Flippy: "And I thought teaching them the old New Math was dif-
ficult! OK teachers, let's count one more time one, two, three,

four, five, six, BLEEN, seven, eight, nine, ten. . . The hardest part isto
retrain them not to count on their fingers."

Emory and Georgia Tech had to get all their computer experts
together for a massive reprogramming of their computers to include
bleen. This way their accounts and grade point averages would be up
to date. Agnes Scott accomplished the same thing by playing a tape
recording of Dr. Perry counting to bleen-hundred in the background
of the Treasurer's and the Recorder's office. All members of the ad-
ministration were also -given cassette tapes to play while sleeping.
Above many professors' desks appeared this sign THINK BLEEN
IT'S KEEN.

Big Bird came to interview Miss Flippy and receive special instruc-
tions for making the changeover on Sesame Street.

The President of the United States called to congratulate her on
"marvelous teamwork. Your game plan was outstanding."

Astrologers were sent into a fury trying to find the significance of
bleen. People had started to name bleen as their favorite number and
somewhere there had to be significance.

Naturally, awards came flocking to Miss Flippy. The SGA sent her
bleenteen red roses. The Association of Mathematics Book
Publishers gave her a cut into the profits from reprints of every
mathematics textbook.

The Septagenarians Club gave her a Health-o-matic bicycle for
giving them a seventeen year lease on life but little Michael Bonver
sent her an obscene lollipop because she made him need one more
year to be seven when he could have a puppy. The Georgia
legislature became so upset over the number of laws requiring
change that they passed a motion making bleen unconstitutional
But her crowning glory was sitting beside Sen Sam Stirving during

Security chief to
retire after 39 years

by ANN FINCHER

Mell Jones, chief security of-
ficer at Agnes Scott College, will
retire June 9, 1974 after 39
years of service to the college.

Mr. Jones began work as the
only security officer at Agnes
Scott College, Sept. 1 4, 1 935. At
that time he was 25 years old
and was considered by the
business manager "too young to
look after 350 women."
President McCain, however, ap-
proved the employment of Mr.
Jones. Some of the older faculty,
Mr. Jones confided, thought
"Dr. McCain was going off the
beam" hiring such a young man.

At the time of Mr. Jones',
hiring, there was no organized
security force on campus. He
worked alone seven nights a
week for 1 1 years. He came on
duty at 6 p.m. and went off duty
at 6 a.m. Sunday was the excep-
tion to this schedule then Mr.
Jones came on duty at 4:00 p.m.
This 86 hour work week was
interrupted by an annual ten
nights of freedom one week of
vacation and three nightsduring
Christmas vacation. Dr. Alston
added a second security man
and reduced this work load.

Reminiscing about Agnes
Scott, Mr. Jones commented
that he lived through four
attempted panty raids and one
streaking. He added that he
prefers the streaking because
"the boys don't try to get in the
buildings."

Mr. Jones said there has been
little criminal activity on the
campus, and he has used his
gun only once in his 39 years of
duty. This incident was when a
peeping torn was peeping in the
window of Gaines Cottage,
which stood where the Letitia
Pate Evans Dining Hall now
stands. In apprehending the
peeping torn, Mr. Jones shot him
in the leg.

This episode was the excep-
tion rather than the com-
monplace in Mr. Jones daily
routine. That routine included
patrolling a campus consisting
of four dormitories: Rebekah,
Main, Inman, and the White
House. The White House, Mr.
Jones explained, stood where
Hopkins now stands. It housed
students on the upper floor and

one of the two campus dining
halls on the lower floor. The
other dining hall was located in
Rebekah.

Mr. Jones recalled also the
dormitory life of yesteryear
when at 10 p.m. nightly he
pulled a master switch and ext-
inguished all dormitory lights
except for exit signs and the
bathroom lights. Students had to
be in their dormitories by 1 1 p.m.
on week nights and by 12 mid-
night on weekends. There was
no key policy sincethe dormitory
residents, who were the as-
sistant deans, manned the
hostess desks "until every girl
was in."

A student returning to campus
with her date was allowed to sit
in the car with him for ten
minutes. After ten minutes, Mr.
Jones gave the couple the option
of entering a dormitory or of
leaving the campus. Date parlors
in Rebekah did not exist nor did
the current date parlor policy.
Mr. Jones recalled a time when
doors of the date parlors in Main
were left open . . . "at all times."
He also recalled the location of
the music practice rooms on the
fourth floor of Main and the
location of the art department on
the fourth floor of Buttrick.

Mr. Jones' duties also in-
cluded meeting students,
"especially freshmen," at bus
terminals and train stations
when they were coming to
Agnes Scott. He had close con-
tact with the students then
because everybody stayed on
campus. Mr. Jones commented
that he believes the students
"are much better now that they
have more privileges."

Mr. Jones supervised campus
security for the two days of film-
ing on campus of the movie A
Man Called Peter. The basis of
the movie is a novel written by
Agnes Scott alumna and trustee

Classes were in session during
the film, but students and fans
formed crowds which Mr. Jones
controlled. Students were also
employed as extras. At the end of
the filming session, the director
gave Mr. Jones $5.00 for "a case
of beer."

Mr. Jones has three children
and eight grandchildren. His
eldest granddaughter is a senior
at the University of Tennessee.
His hobbies are hunting, pain-
ting and raising cattle. When he
retires, Mr. Jones plans to farm
in Walton where he raises Black
Angus cattle. Mr. Jones said
leaving Agnes Scott "will be
lonesome, but I want to go while
I'm in fairly good health ... it's
seemed like home."

At this time Mr. Jones'
successor has not been ap-
pointed.

mosphere should lend itself to
student responsibility in both
academic and social policies;
therefore,

RESOLVED, that the Agnes
Scott College "POLICY
REGARDING THE USE OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES," as
stated in the Student Handbook,
be amended as follows:

The college system makes
available to students an at-
mosphere which creates a sense
of responsibility on the part of
each student. Alcoholic
beverages are thereby permitted
on the Agnes Scott campus only
at campus-wide social functions
coordinated and evaluated by
B.S.A., as approved by the Dean
of Students Office.

Students should comply with
the Georgia and Decatur laws
regarding the consumption of
alcoholic beverages as follows:

Georgia:

1 . The legal age for purchasing
alcoholic beverages is 18. It is
against the law in Georgia either
to sell or furnish alcoholic
beverages to minors.

2. It is illegal to appear in an in-
toxicated condition or to
evidence boisterous or vulgar
behavior on any public street, in
any public place, in any private
residence other than one's own,
or on any mode of public
transportation.

Decatur:

It is unlawful to drink in
automobiles parked or moving
on the streets, highways, or
alleys of the city.

No college or Student
Government funds will be used
for the purchase of alcoholic
beverages at any function held
off or on campus and sponsored

by the college or any
organization within the college.
Only a student over 18 years of
age may serve the alcoholic
beverage, and a comparable
non-alcoholic beverage must
also be served.

Alcoholic beverages are not to
be transported away from the
immediate area of the social
function. Other violations of this
policy include falsification of ID
to purchase alcoholic beverages,
purchasing alcohol by those over
1 8 years of age for a minor, and
the possession of alcoholic
beverages by those students
under the age of 18. Students
are on their honor to obey cam-
pus policy when attaining drinks
at campus functions.

The student at approved cam-
pus functions is responsible for
exemplifying a high standard of
conduct so that her behavior will
not be detrimental to herself, her
fellow students, or to the
college. Hostessing boards are
similarly responsible for in-
suring that guests are aware of
the expected standard of con-
duct.

As always in matters of
student policy, the Ad-
ministrative Committee has the
right to rescind this priviledge at
any time. One year after this
policy takes effect, the Ad-
ministrative Committee will
automatically review and
reevaluate it.

repertoire as well as five new ballets.

Christopher and Corday Corry, alumni of the regional company,
will be seen in two pasde deux. Thefirst is "Per Second," an abstract
modern work set to an electronic score, with choreography by

director Pittman Corry, will be given for the first time. Set to a score
by Richard Strauss, "Transitions" was selected by adjudicator Lila
Zali for the Gala Performance of the Southeastern Regional Ballet
Festival in Jacksonville, Fla. "Psalms," also by Mr. Corry, will be
repeated from last year's spring season. The work, a religious
pageant, is set to the music of Leonard Bernstein in a choral setting.

PROFILE/MAY 24, 1974

The effects of
ceremony

This academic year, almost over, finds many in the student body
and the faculty exhausted and ready for the summer vacation. We on
The Profile, even if we had the time, lack the will to make another is-
sue. Our exhaustion is not that of despair as much as the natural
rhythm which brings us to the close of a quarter and a year. It istime
to stop.

This year seems to have been a time of putting our lands in order.
Though we have not finished the literal task, hopefully we havecom-
pleted the imaginative one and will return next fall eager and able.
The inaugural ceremony reminds us that this college exists in a
framework larger than the present. We are one among many places
dedicated to the education which equips and perfects. It is also the
effect of ceremony that we realize that the College is not dependent
upon one individual but on all of us. We have the ability, if we have
the will, to achieve that which we want for the College. But first we
have earned a time for rest.

T. S. Eliot reminds us in "The Rock,"

We are children quickly tired: children who are up in the night and
fall asleep as the rocket is fired; and the day is long for work
or play.

We tire of distraction or concentration, we sleep and are glad to
sleep,

Controlled by the rhythm of blood and the day and the night and
the seasons.

And we must extinguish the candle, put out the light and relight it;
Forever must quench, forever relight the flame.
Therefore we thank Thee for our little light, that is dappled with
shadow.

We thank Thee who hast moved usto building, tofinding, to form-
ing at the ends of our fingers and beams of our eyes.
And when we have built an altar to the Invisible Light, we may set
thereon the little lights for which our bodily vision is made.
And we thank Thee that darkness reminds us of light.
0 Light Invisible, we give Thee thanks for Thy great glory!

We return next fall to light those candles our candles
have been lighted every fall.

Joyce McKee, Editor

After one year

I have admiration for the individual student at Agnes Scott. Almost
every day I meet someone new who impresses me, or learn of some
honor an old friend has received. I believe Agnes Scott's student
body is a group of outstanding women. I came to Scott thinking,
perhaps too idealistically, that this college had retained a particular
unity and warmth which encouraged student-faculty-administration
rapport, student involvement, spirit, and enthusiasm, and a unified
support for college functions 1 whether intellectual or spiritual,
cultural or athletic. Yet, in the last year, I have been troubled by ac-
tions and attitudes within the student body and faculty which speak
differently. Of course, many have spoken in support of this elusive
"sense of community"; I particularly recall Mrs. Wood's address to
the Mortar Board Convocation. She set forth a worthy goal, but only
the student body, faculty and administration has the power to build
or detract from this feeling of unity, responsibility, and trust. Next
year will challenge our community. If this goal is a meaningful one,
we must endorse it wholeheartedly and take positive action to see it
fulfilled.

Hub with cash bar

To the editor:

There are some advantages in
converting part of the Hub into a
Lounge with a cash bar:

1 . More frequent informal
communication among
students, faculty, and ad-
ministration would be
facilitated.

2. Guests could be easily
entertained. (It would be like a
mid-campus Everybody's.)

3. The college would gain a
more realistic, real-life at-
mosphere.

4. It would change the image
of the college.

Fine arts required

To the editor:

Through talking with several
people on campus I have become
aware of the possibility of a re-
quirement in the Fine Arts being
instituted. Afterthe first reaction
to balk at the idea of another
requirement, I realized that
there is a very real need for it
indeed, for several reasons.

First and foremost, the Fine
Arts music, art, drama, and
creative writing are essential
to a liberal education. Culture, or
whatever it is that we receive
from these subjects (perception?
sensitivity? appreciation?), and
academics go hand in hand, as it
were. These areas in the fine
arts, unlike training courses in
practical fields, would enhance
the academic program rather
than corrode it.

As freshmen we were advised
to take as many requirements as
we could as early as possible.
Most of us signed up for five
academic courses in broadly
separated areas. This program is
fine, but there is no reason why
it should discourage taking
courses in the fine arts. It is dif-
ficult to get involved in a major
while feeling that you are
already a year behind by begin-
ning work in a department dur-
ing the sophomore year. The
idea in having a requirement
would be not to force students
into the areas, but to provide an
opportunity for a student to feel
as though the time involved was
well spent. For instance, I might
not be inclined to take a music
course that was purely elective,
but if it fulfilled a requirement, it
might seem a wise choice.

Another reason is purely
psychological. With the ad-
justments of the freshman year,
there is a place for a course in
which you can learn by doing,
rather than by listening or
reading. A fine arts course
would offer a chance to
constructively "let off steam," to
vary a course schedule, and
perhaps to find a stimulating
outlet for creativity, a quality in a
student which is increasingly
shoved aside.

Another positive point would
be the low-pressure opportunity

of participation without having
to commit oneself to a particular
organization. With a course as
an "excuse" to participate, a
student would not have to feel
"cornered" by a time-con-
suming hobby. Such a course
would give an automatic in-
troduction to the field. Rather
than missing out on an activity
because you do not know
anyone sharing the particular
interest, you could meet a kin-
dred spirit through the clas-
sroom. Especially for freshmen,
who are not necessarily situated
according to common learnings,
there is the possibility of interest
without companions, .deterring

those not bold enough to venture
into an unknown club or
organization (which is a large
majority).

Finally the fine arts on this
campus need active support.
Their contribution to our well-
roundedness is great, but if a
feasible chance for participation
is not offered say a 3-hour re-
quirement in studio art, choral or
applied music, theatre art or
drama, or creative writing we
may, for the sake of getting our
requirements taken, neglect the
arts and thus neglect ourselves.

Sincerely,
Anne Walker

Faculty

(continued from page 1)

nounced the establishment of a
retirement plan and life in-
surance plan for hourly paid em-
ployees, these plans to become
effective July 1. All costs of
these new programs will be paid
by the College.

Employees will be eligible for
the retirement plan after five
years of continuous full-time
service.

If an employee has had ten
years or more of continuous full-
time service when he retires, the
college will guarantee that he
receives at least $2 per month
for each year of service, in-
cluding his regular retirement
plan benefits.

A life insurance policy will be
provided to employees after 90
days of service to the college.

A new scale of faculty salaries has been approved for 1974-75.
New figures and those effective during 1973-74 are as follows:

Professor

Associate Professor
Assistant Professor
Instructor

1973-74

$14,500-$1 7,500
12,000- 15,500
10,500- 13,000
8,000- 10,000

1974-75

$15,000-$1 9,500
13,000- 16,000
11,000- 14,000
9,000- 11,000

For three ounces of brightly
colored plastic, it packs quite a
wallop. Every dorm has
experienced the effects of one or
more of these devastating
devices. One student with one
water pistol can wreak havoc on
an entire studious hall.

Water pistols are now
available in many new and im
proved varieties. One of the
better mode-Is has "Magnum"
clips separate water
chambers which can be changed
in mid-battle. As Dirty Harriet
knows, this can be a crucial ad-
vantage.

Water pistols can be
extremely dangerous when writ-
ing the ten page paper due
tomorrow. The comment of the
professor may run like this:
"This paper has its good points
but you may have treated Hal's
change from a boy to a man a lit-
tle too emotionally. Your
language is passable but the
TEARDROPS are a little much!"

The strategy for a battle can
vary. One of the most effective
positions is by the bathroom.

Dodging in and out will draw
your adversary's fire thus run-
ning her out of water. Then,
making sure your gun isfull from
the sink, you attack your now
defenseless enemy. However,
watch out for she may have
stored an auxiliary supply in a
Coke bottle. She can be
especially dangerous if she
shoots the water straight from
the bottle instead of filling her
pistol. Now that's wet!

One of the most shocking uses
of the water pistol comes at
bathtime. Little can ruin your
relationship with your room-
mate quite as effectively as
squirting ice water over the wall
into her hot, soaking shower.
The screams would shatter
crystal.

Water pistols have one saving
grace. All the coolness of a
summer breeze can be
condensed into a single fight.
After laying out in the sun, a
good water fight provides
refreshing relief from exhaus-
tion at the broiling point.

Instructor
chosen for
French Hall

by ANN FINCHER

According to Mary Virginia
Allen, chairman of the
Department of French, plans for
the 1 975-76 French Corridor are
now in the final stages. The
French Corridor will be located
in the north wing of Inman, and
Francoise Chaze, a native of
Cachan, France, has been em-
ployed as the "French person in
residence."

The French Corridor, which is
currently completing its first
year, offers participants the op-
portunity to live a language. On
the premise that immersion in a
language provides the student a
fuller comprehension of that
language, residents of the
French Corridor ideally com-
municate only in French.
Participants are expected to
greet each other in French,
converse in French and should
the occasion arise, curse a
stubbed toe or broken fingernail
in French.

Miss Chaze, aged 22 years,
comes to Agnes Scott after three
years of study in Paris. She ob-
tained her "License" in English
at the Sorbonne and is now
working on her master's thesis
at Ecole Normale Superieure
I'Enseignement Technique in
Paris. Her thesis topic is William

announcing.

Francoise Chaze

Faulkner and southern literature
in the U.S. According to Miss
Allen, Monsieur Raphael Molho,
visiting professor in the French
department fall quarter, was
"instrumental in the search for
the right person to live on the
French corridor."

Miss Chaze's duties include
speaking French at all times on
the French corridor, sitting at the

French table at lunch, assisting
in the organization of activities
for the two French clubs, and
tutoring students in French.

Residents of the French
Corridor must have completed
French 101. Students interested
in participating in the program
should apply immediately to
Miss Merrick or Miss Allen.

In the real world

by LYNN SUMMER

Palestinian terrorists belong-
ing to the Popular Democratic
Front seized the village school in
Ma'alot, Israel, Wednesday and
held 85 children hostage,
demanding that 23 fellow
terrorists incarcerated in prison
be released by the Israeli
government. When Israeli forces
stormed the school, the guerillas
opened fire on the children, kill-
ing 20 and seriously wounding
others ; the terrorists
themselves were slain.

Following the grisly Ma'alot
massacre and Israeli retaliatory
bombing raids on Lebanese
refugee camps, Syria and Israel
agreed to the conditions of
Secretary of State Henry Kis-
singer's troop disengagement
compromise. Conditions of the
plan are not specifically known
yet, but a cease-fire agreement
is expected to be signed by the
end of this week.

India dramatically
demonstrated its new status as a
nuclear power when it exploded
underground an atomic bomb for
the first time Saturday. Although
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
pledged to "remain duly com-
mitted to the peaceful use of
atomic energy," the United
States announced its regret over
the explosion. Until this time,
only the U.S., China, Russia,
France, and Britain have
possessed atomic bombs.

Valery Giscard d'Estaing, 48,
defeated Socialist Francois
Mitterand by a narrow 1.5%
margin in Sunday's elections to
become the twentieth president
of the French republic. The one-
time finance minister of the
former Gaullist government is
expected to seek improvement in
U.S. -French relations.

A major emergency plan was
effected in Dublin this week as
three bombs exploded in the
heart of the city during rush
hour, killing at least 1 9 persons.
The IRA is suspected of being
responsible.

The bizarre sequence of
events related to the SLA and its
hostage/member Patricia
Hearst reached climactic
proportions this week-end. In a
shoot-out involving scores of
policement Friday, six SLA
members, including "Marshal
Cinque," the acknowledged
leader, were killed. Miss Hearst
was not found in the house.
Sunday night she was charged,
along with William and Emily
Harris, with violation of federal
firearms regulations, and a mas-
sive search for the fugitives is
underway.

The prime lending rate
reached an all-time high of
1 1 .75% this week.

The House Judiciary Com-
mittee listened to a tape of a
Sept. 15, 1972 meeting of
President Nixon with John^Dean
and H. R. Haldeman which

revealed the President's wish to
retaliate against the
Washington Post for its
thorough investigation of the
Watergate affair.

The library will be open until
10:30 p.m. on May 24-25 and

The United Farmworkers AFL-
CIO will hold a benefit barbecue
picnic in Grant Park on Sat.,
June 8, from 2 - 6 p.m. The event
will include entertainment,
speakers and a hot barbecue
plate. Tickets are $2.50 for
adults and $1.50 for children
under 1 2. All proceeds will go to
the United Farmworkers' Union.
The barbecue is sponsored by
the Atlanta United Farm
Workers and the Atlanta Strike
Support Committee. For more
information, call 525-2922.

Bungi Harris, Elizabeth
Knight, and Ruth McAliley were
tapped for membership in Alpha
Psi Omega at the May 9 meeting
of Blackfriars.

Alpha Psi Omega is a national
honorary dramatics fraternity.
Students must exhibit an
interest in the theater both on
and off the stage in order to
qualify for membership in the

The Student Services Com-
mittee is an at-large committee
of Student Government. One of
its functions is to serve as a
forum for student comments and
suggestions concerning In-
firmary and Dining Hall Service.
Any student with a comment or
suggestion relating to these
services is strongly encouraged
to submit it in writing to Debbie
Harris, Chairman, Box 253.
Please be sure to include any
specific information which
would be helpful in carrying out
a follow-up of your suggestion.

The new Agnes Scott Art Club
will hold a Sidewalk Art Sale in

front of the Hub May 23-24.
From 1 1 a.m. to 4 p.m., students
will be able to buy original art
work, baked goods and plants. If
it rains, the sale will be moved
into the Hub.

Judging for the Dalton Awards
will begin at 3 p.m. on Fri., May
24. Ed Ross, a professor of pain-
ting at the Atlanta College of Art,
will be evaluating the works.
Award winners will be an-
nounced at the conclusion of the
judging and winning works will
be on display at the student art
exhibit in the Dalton Galleries of
Dana.

The work of senior art majors
will be featured in the student
art exhibit which opens Sun.,
May 26, and runs through June
9. Both two- and three-dimen-
sional works will be exhibited.

Spirit of the past

(Editor's note: brought to
you by Spirit Committee.)

by JOY CUNNINGHAM

While skimming through
some old Agonistic's, I noticed
that listed under "Editorial
Staff," was a joke editor. One
joke, included in a 1933 article
about new smoking rules, main-
tained that smoking was "con-
trary to one of the four ideals at
Agnes Scott, the development of
a pleasing personality." The
most amusing was a com-
parative study of "evolution of
the college student":

Fresh.: "May.l.go out tonight,
m'am?" Z

Soph.: "I'm going out tonight,
be home at ten."

Jr.: "I'm going out tonight."

Sr.: "So long. I'll bringthe milk
in."

Honor Court

Exam procedure reviewed

(Editor's note: Honor Court has
provided the following sum-
mary of exam procedure.)

With the rapid approach of the
last set of finals, each student at
Agnes Scott needs to recall the
details of exam procedure. It is
very important that each of us is
very clear on every particular in
order to avoid any doubt as to the
validity of our work. The
procedure may seem difficult or
complicated, but the rewards
from following it carefully
self-scheduled exams are
certainly worth the effort.

Each student will receive a
copy of the examination
procedure in her box the week
prior to exams and is responsible
for knowing all regulations on it
and those found in the
handbook. This article merely
emphasizes some of the im-
portant points on the sheet.

(1)lf at any time a student
realizes she has failed to comply
with any of these regulations
she must report this failure at

once to the Dean of Faculty or a
member of Honor Court. If she
has questions about the actions
of another student, she should
talk to this student and en-
courage her to turn herself in if
exam procedure has been
violated in any way. Only if every
member of our community
accepts this responsibility, can
we at Agnes Scott continue to
enjoy the freedom of self-
scheduling.

(2) Examinations will be taken
in Buttrick, Campbell, and Dana
Fine Arts; however, exams are
not to be taken in any place other
than rooms announced for a
particular period. Students who
are required to use books and
notes during their exam should
use only Room 5 or Room 12
Buttrick. There should be no
books or notes in any other
rooms.

(3) Exams should betaken only
in intact blue books (do NOT
remove pages), and NOT on the
scratch paper provided. When
the student completes the exam,

she must seal the envelope con-
taining the blue book, copy of
exam, and all scratch paper
BEFORE leaving the exam room.
Likewise, an exam envelope
should not be opened until one is
in the exam room.

(4) Lastly, each student is
bound by her own honor not to
ask for or give information
before or after taking an exam.
Exams should not be discussed
in any way with anyone. ANY
discussion is a violation of the
Honor System and this rule is in
effect until the end of the exam
week. This applies to scheduled
exams even though every
student may have taken the
exam.

This brief summation does not
in any way attempt to cover all
exam regulations. It is very im-
portant that each student read
the exam sheet before the exam
period begins. Afew momentsof
thought and review will benefit
each of us; it is our responsibility
to be prepared to support the
system if we wish to enjoy its
benefits.

The almost 200 objects which form the exhibition have been
selected from major Belgian museums, galleriesandchurchesby Dr.
