ficial campus hotess. Ms. Weber
coordinates any aspects of cam-
pus receptions, from how to stay
within the budget to what type of
hors d' o eurves to serve.

The new post of Secretary to
the Faculty is filled by Ms. Emma
Zell. Her office is in the
basement of Buttrick (in the old
Day Student Lounge), where one
of her main jobs is to supervise
the copying machines.

Pub and Gaines disappear

Hub and library changes

made

Gaines Cottage and the Pub
have disappeared, and the Hub
has a new look. These and other
changes modified the Scott
scenery over the summer.

The most obvious change is
the absence of Gaines Cottage
and the Pub. According to James
Henderson, vice-president of
business affairs, the two
buildings were destroyed
because of their age and operat-
ing expense. The total ap-

Student honors bestowed

Last spring a number of honors

vocation of the year. These
honors included the naming of
Dana Scholars and the awarding
of the Margaret T. Phythian
Scholarship for summer study in
France. From the classes of 1976
and 1977, with selection based
on academic achievement and
demonstrated leadership in
college activities, the following
Dana Scholars were named:

Beysselance, Gay Blackburn,
Elizabeth Boney, Brandon
Brame, Gwendolyn Lee Davis,
Harriett Graves, Lea Ann Grimes
Elizabeth Hornsby, Sherry
Huebsch, Alice Lightle, Margaret
(Peggy) Miller, Ann Patton,
Martha Smith, Jane Sutton, Anne
Walker, Win Anne Wan-
namaker, and Barbara Williams;

from the class of 1977, May Anne

Barbara Byrd, Christa Cline,
Sylvia Foster, Cynthia Hodges,
Corine Sue Jinks, Kathryn Kus-
srow, Patricia McWaters, Julia
Midkiff, Beverly Nelson, Anne
Paulin, Susi Pedrick, Sarah

town, S. C), and Lynn Wilson.
From the class of 1978, with
selection based on academic
promise and leadership poten-
tial; Judith Bartholomew,

Brown, Ann Burchenal, Ann
Hester, Emily Holmes, Susan
Jordan, Linda Kimbrough,
Donna Litchfield, Jean
Malmgren, Judith Miller, Mary
Patton, Virginia Phillips Margaret
Elaine Sheppard, Nancy
Katherine (Kitty) Smith, Sally
Stamper, Paula Starr, Cathy

Walters and Catherine Winn.

Patsy Cralle was the recipient
of the 1975 Margaret T. Phythian
Scholarship. Miss Phythian is
Professor-Emeritus of French
and the former chairman of the
department at Agnes Scott.

In the Department of Theater
three awards were made. The
Bennett Trophy for the best ac-
ting was given to Lynn Summer
for her role of Dolly Heart in
"The Grass Harp." Carole
Langston received both the
Kimmel Award for all-around
Blackfriars work and the
Wintergreen Award, which is i
scholarship for work in summer
theater. Carole applied the
Wintergreen scholarship to her
summer work with the Emory
Company.

proximate cost of the des-
truction was $2000.

Constructive changes took
place in the Hub. The Hub is
meant to be a center for student
activity, and over the summer its
interior was modified in order to
expand its recreational facilities.
The snack bar was moved into
the Hub from the lower dining
hall, and its hours extended. A
juke box, a ping-pong table, and
a pool table were purchased for
the Hub. A new color scheme
was selected by an interior
decorator, including four colors
for the walls and another for the
curtains. And more changes are
to come. "There is still a lot of
work to be done in the area of
getting a mood established,"
said Mr. Henderson. "Other
minor changes will come about
through the initiative of the
students." The allocation of
space in the Hub was done by a
committee of students. Cost of
the operations was ap-
proximately $7000.

Work was also done in the
library. A new shaft for a
hydraulic elevator was
constructed, and footings for
load-bearing stacks were
poured. A load-bearing stack
holds books and also supports
the floor above it. "That was the
first phase of the library
modernization project," said
Mr. Henderson, "the balance of
which is to be done next

summer." This will include the
construction of an intermediate
floor in the old bound periodical
area, new stack space on the top
floor, better lighting, and
general refurbishing. Carpeting
of the main and basement read-
ing rooms will depend on the
budget. Changes in the library
cost approximately $60,000.

Buttrick now contains a
seminar room and office service
areas in what was formerly the
day student lounge. The building
has undergone cleaning and
refurbishing, most of which is
completed. A small amount of
work left will be done during
winter recess. The approximate
cost of changes in Buttrick will,
when finished, be $40,000.

The exterior of Presser was
cleaned and waterproofed, and
its roof repaired, at the ap-
proximate cost of $30,000.

A new walkway was
constructed between diagonally
from Buttrick to the dining hall,
and the tennis court parking lot
was repaired.

There are no firm plans for
further changes this year; any
remaining work will be, ac-
cording to Mr. Henderson, "not
so much changes as major repair
of existing facilities." A large part
of this will be extensive roof
repairs.

Editorial

Convocations

Profile/September 26, 1975

In an ideal society, one in which every member accepted and lived
up to his responsibility to promote the weil-being of all men, there
would be no need for rules or laws. Unfortunately, there is no ideal
society, not even here at Agnes Scott College. Students tend to act
selfishly, with complete disregard for their role as members of the
campus community. One example of such disregard is the sparse
attendance at formal convocations.

Agnes Scott students have been urged to increase their attendance
at these convocations, but there has been no noticeable response.
Convocations are not painful. An half-hour gathering of the students,
faculty and staff every other week or so is not harmful. But it can be
helpful, helpful in keeping students informed of up coming events
and in creating that special sense of being a close-knit community
that is so very previous and fragile.

Rep Council has recommended that formal convocations be made
mandatory once again. A student body meeting will be held Thurs.,
Oct. 2 to discuss the goals of convocations and the pros and cons of
making them mandatory. We urge you, the student body to attend
this meeting, and most of all, we urge you to express your opinion. It
would be sad to see iormal convocations become mandatory
becuase of the neglect of the student body to attend them of their
own free will, but it would be even sadder to see the college lose its
sense of community completely because of an unwillingness to im-
pose regulations.

To the editor:

I would like to express thanks
from the Agnes Scott College
Glee Club to the entire student
body for their support of our
European concert tour. As most
of you know, the tour grew out
of an invitation we had received
to participate in a symposium
honoring the Viennese classics.
The symposium was held in
Vienna, Austria, and it lasted
twelve days. During it, we
attended lectures, voice produc-
tion sessions, and rehearsals, and
we visited many sites related to
Viennese classical composers.

The highlight of the
symposium was a performance
with orchestra of Beethoven's
"Missa Solemnis" in which we
participated along with five
other American choirs. This
performance was held in the
Academy of Science building of
the old University of Vienna, and
we sang to a full house. The hall
was built during the Baroque
period of music and has
witnessed the premier of many
classical compositions, among
them Haydn's "Creation."

A small choir also was active in
the symposium as a workshop

instrument for conductors. Most
conductors were from America,
but others came also from
Scotland, England, Israel, Brazil,
and Hungary to study their craft.
The activity of the workshop
choir culminated in a
performance of Mozart's "Missa
Brevis in C."

The greatest reward of the
symposium, perhaps, was the
city of Vienna itself. Its cultural
offerings, particularly in music,
are manifold, and tickets, in
general, were available for most
events. Also, our many op-
portunities to hear music in the
halls for which it was conceived
added a dimension to our
understanding of classical music
that could not have been ac-
quired otherwise certainly not
in American concert halls.

The Glee Club toured five
countries in addition to the
symposium. During these
travels, we were supposed to
have given three performances
of our own. Unfortunately, we
were canceled in Prague. We still
have not received a satisfactory
explanation for this; only the
Czechoslovakian government,
presumably, nows why.

In Switzerland, we sang in a
church whose foundation stones
had been laid in the tenth cen-
tury. We were well received, and
we were given a very large
cowbell (which can be seen in
our display in the library) as a
memento.

We sang also in Luxembourg
as a part of their spring musicfes-
tival. We performed in an out-
door pavilion (which was,
fortunately, well amplified) to a
large and appreciative audience.
We concluded this concert with
our national anthem and had
warm participation by the
Americans in the audience. It
was the eve of July 4.

The lives of all of us are
enriched immeasurably by our
experience in Europe. We feel
also as if we have left something
of value in Europe by our musical
activity there. The trip would not
have been possible without the
contributions we received from
the college and from student
government, and we greatly ap-
preciate this gesture of support
for our activity. Thank you.

Dr. Theodore K. Mathews.
Director ASC Glee Cluh

If you don't recognize the five
faces to the right, then by all
means meet Monty Python, a
British troupe of writer-actors
responsible for both the funniest
show on TV (Monty Python's Fly-
ing Circus) and the funniest
movie in town (Monty Python
and the Holy Grail.) Pythonism is
most often described as zany,
but that somewhat trite adjective
hardly does justice to its blend of
wildly original outrageous
literate bawdy subtle irreverent
sophisticated humor.

The Flying Circus, which airs
here on Wednesday nights at ten
on Channel 8, consists of thirty
minutes of sketches (e.g., a
documentary focuses on village
idiots); surrealistic animations,
supplied by the unseen Python,
American Terry Gilliam (Attila
the Bun, a savage, scimitar wield-
ing pastry, hops down a laden
table, slashing and screaming);
and comic leitmotifs (live pigs

Jones.

wander unobtrusively in and out
of the sets.)

The Holy Grail features these
same three elements, as well as a
plot-line: the Pythons render
(and rend) the Arthurian legends
in their own unique fashion. The
king and his knights gallop across
the countryside without horses,
using cocoanut shells for the
clip-clops, and their quest in-
cludes such incidents as a run-in
with a killer bunny, subdueH

only with the aid of the Holy
Hand Grenade of Antioch. In ad-
dition, much of the musical score

and photography poke sly fun at
movies like Ivanhoe and
Camelot. The Gra/7 is also
beautifully mounted and filmed

(on location), but of course its
main virtue is that it is riotously
funny. It's a movie that easily
deserves five stars. Or perhaps
that should be five cocoanuts.

Greene recording praised

by Peggy Lamberson

Throughout musical history
(and that does include modern
popular music) the innovative,
imaginative artist has often had
to pay the price of alienation in
order to retain his individuality.
When an artist creates music that
breaks with the accepted and
popular forms of any period, he
will, in all likelihood, offend and
disturb the supporters of those
forms. Very few musicians have
been able to pursue their own
personal, non-traditional goals
and yet continue to create music
that has appeal for both the
general listening public and the
more avant-garde individuals.
Mike Greene is one of these ex-
ceptional musicians.

To say that the music on Pale,
Pale Moon is so diverse that
practically everyone could find
something on the album to like
might lead one to believe that
Mike Greene is so busy trying to
please everyone that he lacks any
identity, a definitive style of his
own. On the contrary, however,
the album functions beautifully
as a unit because of the con-
sistent high quality and
musicality of each cut, and
because each song is essentially a
part of the composer's own
varied personality.

Greene's distinctive musical
background undoubtably has a
great deal to do with his ability to
retain identity in the face of
diversity. He has played with
such varied groups as Shalomar,
the Stump Brothers, The
Hampton Grease Band and the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
His knowledge of the classical
foundations of music shimmers
through the airy jazz sounds of
this album, making it a refresh-
ingly musical experience rather
than mere organized noise.

Greene is fortunate not only in
his personal abilities (including
keyboards, soprano, alto and
tenor sax, percussions, vocals)
but in the outstanding talents of
the other members of The Mike
Greene Band. David Michael
(guitars), Rande Powell (drums,
percussions), and Mike
Holbrook (bass, also an ex-
Grease Band member) provide
instrumental that are no less res-
ponsible for the album's quality
than are Greene's compositions.

The album's overall sound is a
low-key, subtle use of jazz at its
least dense, but this does not
typify each song, by any means.
For example, "Valdez Bailey" has
a Latin American sound filtered
through Mike Greene's
particular brand of pop to
produce a song that is the

Mike Greene.

musical equivalent of a wry grin
(from behind a bit too much te-
quila). At the other end of the
spectrum is the title cut, in which
the voice is used essentially as an
instrument rather than for the
expression of lyrics. The result is
very pleasing, but this cut also
reveals the album's main flaw,
which is the overuse of a theme
without sufficient variation. This
is not a major problem and could
easily be remedied either by cut-
ting the unnecessary repetitions
or by going a little further from
the main theme in the variations.

Pale, Pale Moon is an album
that is satisfying in itself, but,
even more than this, it holds the
promise of more good music to
come. Hopefully Mike Greene
will soon be giving us more of his
uniquely individual, appealing
music.

Rep reports

On September 12, Rep Coun-
cil voted 14-8 in favor of
recommending that formal
Wednesday convocations be
made mandatory. The
recommendation was sent to
Marvin B. Perry. The Council
suggested that if formal con-
vocations become mandatory
that attendance be taken by
check lists posted at the doors of
Gaines between 11:15 a.m. and
12:10 p.m. Students would be on
their honor to mark their atten-
dance at the doors.

At the Rep Council meeting
on September 23 it was an-
nounced that an Agnes Scott
representative will attend the
Bicentennial Committee of

Library changes
reserve system

Atlanta meeting this week. The
Library Committee hopes to
create better communication
between the library staff and
students and asks that any library
problems be brought to Rep and
the Library Committee.

The proposed budget for this
year will be posted and will be
voted on in Rep next week.
Marvin B. Perry met with Rep
Council to discuss mandatory
convocations. The motion that
the Council call a student body
meeting to discuss the pros and
cons of the issue passed
unanimously. The meeting will
be held on Thursday, Oct. 2 at
11:30 a.m.

Martin to give organ recital

On Tuesday, September 30, in
Gaines Auditorium of Presser
Hall, a program of music honor-
ing the American Bicentennial
will be presented by Raymond
Martin, organist, assisted by
Donald Day, trumpeter. Mr.
Martin is a professor of music
and the college organist of
Agnes Scott College, and
organist of the Lutheran Church
of the Redeemer. Mr. Day is the
director of music at Marist
Schools.

This program, the first faculty
recital to be presented by the
music department this season, is

in a series of
music programs in

also the first
American
recognition of the Bicentennial.
The recital will open with A Fuge
or Voluntary by William Selby
(1738-1798). Selby, born in
England, was active as an
organist, impresario, and teacher
in Boston at the time of the
American Revolution. Another
native Englishman, Benjamin
Carr (1769-1831), composed,
among his many popular and
patriotic songs, the Flute Volun-
tary which is included in this
program. These works will be
followed by Voluntary in C by

announcing.

Upon returning to Agnes Scott
in September, students found a
new system in the library regard-
ing the use of reserve books.

Mr. Luchsinger states that the
reason for the change is that
"more and more books were be-
ing taken out of the library dur-
ing times when they were sup-
posed to be on the shelves."'
Whereas reserve books were
once shelved downstairs and
taken by each student as she
needed it, they are now located
behind the circulation desk. A
notebook listing each course
and its reserve books is available
at the desk. Library attendants
must obtain books, and students
are required to sign them out.

Although this new system
results in more work for the
library staff, Mr. Luchsinger feels
it is a "more fair system for all
students because in the past )a
few students were taking books
illegally, thus creating difficulty
for others who needed them.
Now all students have better
access to the books."

In regard to rules concerning

reserve books, some changes
have been made. The same
procedure still applies for chec-
king the book out overnight.
From Sunday-Friday, students
may sign a reserve book out at
9:30 p.m., and on Saturday, at 3
p.m., and must return it within
half an hour after the library has
opened the following morning.
The fine system has been
changed considerably. In the
past, students paid a 15c fee for
every hour the book was
overdue. If the money was not
paid when the book was
returned, the fine was doubled.
There was no limit placed on the
amount of money a student was
required to pay for a late reserve
book. This year, a 25c fee per late
hour will be charged. A $2 limit
has been placed on the first day.
If the book still has not been
returned by the second day, only
$1 more may be added to the fee.
Students will not be required to
pay more than $5 for any one late
reserve book and there will be
no doubling of fees.

Group studies in England

by Fva Gantt

Thirty-three Agnes Scott
students, accompanied by Prof,
and Mrs. Michael J. Brown, spent
about six weeks traveling and
studying in England and Scotland
this past summer.

The group visited numerous
historical sites and heard lectures
on the social history of Tudor
and Stuart England. The course
consisted of a two-week stay in
London and visits of about one
week each to Exeter, Oxford,
York, and Edinburgh. Guest lec-
turers were Prof, joel Hurstfield
and Prof. J. j. Scarisbrick, each of
whom delivered two lectures.

During the two weeks in Lon-
don, the group visited the Tower
and Westminster Abbey, took
day trips to Hampton Court
Palace and Windsor Castle, and
lunched one day at Lincoln's Inn,
one of the four Inns of Court.
Students took advantage of free
weekends and evenings in Lon-
don to visit museums and art
galleries, attend plays and
concerts, listen to Parliamentary

debates, and do some shopping.
A small group went to Paris for
one weekend, and a number of
students made day trips to
Canterbury.

Thomas Hall, an old manor
house owned by the University
of Exeter, provided a pleasant
change from the noise and
crowds of London. Much of the
week at Exeter was devoted to
drives through the countryside
to small towns on the Devon-
shire coast. The group spent a
cloudy morning at Plymouth and
a blustery day at Lynton and
Lynmouth, whereseveral people
enjoyed ciimbing through the
Valley of the Rocks, looking
down upon the white seagulls
and the blue ocean. During the
stay at Exeter, the group was in-
troduced to Devonshire cream
teas, consisting of luscious
scones, thick scalded cream, and
sweet strawberry preserves
and. of course, hot tea. Evenings
at Thomas Hall meant soccer
games on the lawn.

Oxford proved a most interes

ting town with its numerous
book stores and antique shops,
as well as the many colleges that
make up the university. The
week at Oxford included a day
spent touring the cotswold
villages, a day trip to Stratford-
upon-Avon, and a visit to the
unusual modern Coventry
Cathedral.

At York, there were ducks to
feed on the modern, beautifully
landscaped university campus.
The town, with its old Roman
wall, featured narrow cob-
blestone streets and the lovely
York Minster. From York, the
group visited the ruins of the
great Fountains Abbey.

The final week of the course
was spent in Edinburgh, where a
number of people ascended the
isolated mountain known as
Arthur's Seat. A day trip from
Edinburgh took the group to the
"bonny banks" of Loch Lomond.
And the city itself offered Edin-
burgh Castle and the Palace of
Holyroodhouse, as well as shop-
ping on the famed Princes Street.

The American Association of
University Women's annual
book fair is now in progress at
Lenox Square on the mall, with a
wide variety of used books being
offered at rock-bottom prices.
Hours for the fair are 9:30 a.m. -10
p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1-4
p.m. Sunday. All proceeds will go
to fellowships, scholarships and
local community action
programs.

John Knowles Paine (1839-
1906) originally from Portland,
Oregon, was a leading figure on
the American Music scene dur-
ing the latter half of the
nineteenth century. His work
The Star Spangled Banner,
Concert Variations will be
performed in the recital. Two
compositions showing the in-
fluences of Eastern music are
Seth Bingham's (1882-1972) Toc-
cata on "/.eon/e" and Alan
Hovhaness's (1911-) Sonata for
Trumpet and Organ. The former
is based on a tune of Hebrew
origin, the latter is illustrative of
the compositional style of
Hovhaness which makes use of
Indian and Oriental systems.

Other works to be performed
are: Trumpet Tune in F Major by
David Johnson, Sonatina by Leo
Sowerby, Sonatine for Organ.
Pedals Alone by Vincent
Persichetti, and Toccata for
Organ by Gerald Near.

The performance will begin at
8:15 p.m., casual dress is ap-
propriate. The same program
will be performed on Sunday,
September 28, 5:00 p.m. at the
Lutheran Church of the
Redeemer. The campus com-
munity is heartily invited to
attend the recital, and the recep-
tion to be given by the ASC
Music Club following Tuesday's
performance.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030*

October 3, 1975

Students travel through desert

L-R: Marty Henck, Jennifer Rich, Sue Jinks, Carol Corbett, Pat
Aguilar, Shari Schufelt, Pedrick Stall.

Seven Agnes Scott students,
accompanied by Harry Wistrand
of the Biology Department,
spent an interesting three and a
half weeks touring some of the
western states on a desert
biology trip this past summer.

The group visited universities,
oceanography institutes, zoos
and national parks in addition to
their desert studies.

Tne first stage of the journey
involved a visit to the University
of Oklahoma Biological Station
where they observed the scien-
tists working with wolves and
coyotes. The students were
taught to call coyotes and to their
delight, three groups of coyotes
responded to them. They
traveled on to Big Bend National
Park where they camped for
three nights. Part of the im-

pressive scenery included
curious skunks and rattlesnakes.

Their travels in Arizona in-
cluded a visit to the Sonora
Desert Museum, reputed to be
one of the five best zoos in the
U.S. The group spent four days at
Arizona State University where
they went on night trips, collec-
ting scorpions and observing the
animals on the roads.

The trip to San Diego,
California, enabled the group to
cool off at the beach. Their visits
included a trip to the San Diego
Zoo, the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography and the San
Diego National Museum. After
San Diego, the group returned to
Phoenix for two days of desert
studies.

In Portal, an area located in the
mountains of Southeastern
Arizona, the group did more
desert studies and captured a
number of different animals.
They heard lectures by experts
working on bats, rattlesnakes,
tarantulas, and various other
animals.

From Portal, the group
returned home, having seen 85
different species of animals dur-
ing their travels.

The Desert Biology course is

offered again next summer. It
offers five hours and has a prere-
quisite of Biology 105. Students
interested should get in touch
with Mr. Wistrand.

Music department changes

The numerous curriculum
changes made recently in the
music department may at first
seem baffling or even
unnecessary, but these
changes are only the reflec-
tion of a fundamental rethin-
king of purpose and goals
within the department. The
new approach centers on one
basic ambition: to involve as
many students as possible
(regardless of musical ex-
perience) in the department
by providing a wide variety of
musical opportunities in both
the intellectual and perform-
ing areas of music. Several
new courses, such as an "In-
troduction to the Art of
Music" (Music 106-107) and a
"Music History Survey"
(Music 213) are directed
towards this goal.

"Introduction to the Art of
Music" is designed primarily
to provide the non-music ma-
jor with an understanding of
musical aesthetics, the
relationship of music to the
other arts, and the cultural
role of music. The "Music His-

tory Survey" provides the
student with an overview of
Western musical history
which will be of aid in choos-
ing specific periods of study in
history on the 300 level. This
course also emphasizes aes-
thetics and the historical-
cultural concepts of music.

As a result of insufficient
interest, all music literature
courses have been dropped
from the curriculum. Much of
what was covered in these
courses will be incorporated
into existing courses, and the
student may make up for any
lack in these areas by utilizing
the Special Study course to
suit her individual needs.

In order to provide a wider
range of opportunities in
ensemble experience, the
department hopes to
organize new ensembles to
meet the needs of interested
students. A Baroque Music
Ensemble, which will feature
recorders and flutes, is
planned for the near future.
Larger, i more ambitious
groups are proposed for com-

ing years. The music
department also has hopes of
eventually expanding instruc-
tional facilities to include a
greater variety of instruments.

Associate Professor Ronald
Byrnside, newly appointed
department chairman, along
with Professors Brooking
(Theatre) and Pepe (Art), is
looking forward to better
organization among the arts
on campus. Mr. Byrnside feels
that the music department
should be able to provide for
the musical needs of thecam-
pus community more fully
than it has in the past.

The changes that have been
made, and the plans that are
being made for the future
emphasize cooperation, in-
dividualization, and expan-
sion in the music department
and its relations with the
college community. It is the
intention of the music faculty
that these goals be reached
without any sacrifice of the
high standards which the
music department, and the
college, have always upheld.

Guest editorial

Black Cat spirit

One week from today Friday, October 10 is Black Cat Com-
munity Day. Thefull title is important because it expresses that "sense
of community" that we are constantly seeking to preserve. Black Cat
is one of the few times during the academic year w ->n the entire
campus community gets together to have a good tin.e.

As the official culmination of orientation, Black Cat is the time
when freshmen and transfers cease to be regarded as "new students"
and are recognized as part of the campus community. Black Cat was
begun to prevent "hazing" of the freshman class and to provide a
painless way of initiating freshmen into Agnes Scott life.

Black Cat is a community day not only in the sense that new
students become part of the campus community, but also in that the
whole student body plays together and that each Black Cat event is a
joint effort of the different classes. The song competition and the Fri-
day afternoon games are fun because they are entered in a spirit of
good-natured rivalry.

One phase of Black Cat that sometimes receives too much em-
phasis is the guessing of the freshman mascot by the sophomore class.
All of us freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors alike need
to be reminded that this particular game is a single aspect of a cam-
pus-wide event. We tend to forget that this part of Black Cat is merely
a game and not a life-and-death struggle. Let us remember that this
guessing game, like the other Black Cat Games, is to be played in a
spirit of friendly competition.

Finally, let us remind ourselves once again that Black Cat is a com-
munity effort, a time for all members of the campus community to
enjoy themselves. Black Cat symbolizes not the rivalry but the feeling
of unity among all four classes. And the attitude with which each class
approaches Black Cat helps to determine the success of the event for
the other three classes. Let us all regard this year's Black Cat as a time
to have fun, no matter what the outcome of the various games.

After all, can we really regard as serious business the spectacle of
500 grown women in storybook costumes competing to see which
group can be the loudest?

Very little needs to be said
about this album because there
is very little to this album. With
only two exceptions ("Early
Morning Love" and "Rag Doll")
the ridiculously poor quality of
the lyrics manages to all but des-

troy the fine musicianship of
such artists as Jim Gordon, Larry
Knechtel and Jim Horn. This fault
is clearly illustrated on the cut
"Chevy Van" which is currently
getting airplay even on some
local FM stations.

It is really a pity that the poten-
tial of this album is so wasted.
Johns' voice is, although lacking
in emotional range, very
pleasant and casual. However,
the unimaginative lyrics make
listening to him almost painful.

On "Early Morning Love" the
lyrics are somewhat hidden by a
more subtle mix and less
painstaking enunciation of
syllables, therefore the song is
able to function more as a
musical unit than as a vocal with
accompaniment. "Rag Doll"

Sammy johns

(music and lyrics by Steve Eaton)
is also a more complete synthesis
of voice and music.

Musically Sammy johns leads
one to believe that there is hope
for this artist, although here
again there is a lack of
imagination and variety. In fact
the album has so little rhythmic
variety that it is almost like a
lullaby, one must almost pinch

oneself to keep from falling
asleep.

johns says that he wants his
music to be "commercial in the
sense that it will sell," in other
words, music that will please
people. This is an admirable am-
bition, but someone needs to
remind him that commercial
does not necessarily have to
mean that one cannot be
imaginative.

Nostalgia strikes again in movies

Brother, Can You Spare A
Dime? is a portrait of the 1930's, a
patchwork of film clips drawn
from the period's movies,
newsreels, and featurettes.
Essentially chronological, the
film begins with the '29 crash and
ends with the U. S. entry into
WWII. In between there are
scenes of everything from bread-
lines to Busby Berkeley musicals,
and the "stars" range from James
Cagney to F D.R. Brother is less a
conventional documentary than
a kind of impressionist painting,
rendered in film rather than oils.
Skillful editing turns the hun-
dreds of fragments into the
facetsof a whole, and the result is
a vivid, evocative work with a
great sense of moment and
mood. There are a few minor sins
of omission and commission
along the way; nary a frame from
the Astaire-Rogers musicals ever
appears, for example, and oc-
casionally bits of footage are a lit-
tle repetitive. But all in all,
Brother is an excellent film and
an engrossing experience.

Every once in awhile one can
see Singin' in the Rain on the late
show for nothing, but it's one of

a minority of films that deserve to
be seen uncut and
uninterrupted by stomach-acid
commercials. It should also be
seen in Technicolor (the best
color TV still doesn't come close)
and on the wide silver screen
instead of a small gray one.
MGM's motto for "A" musicals
was "Do it big, do it right, and
give it class," and seeing Singin'
in the Rain, a product of this
philosophy, on TV is not unlike
reading the Classics Comics
version of an outstanding novel.

the fullest all that this boy-meets .

conversion to "talkies", has to
offer: clever dialogue, genuinely
funny slapstick, mischievous
satire, and most of all, good
songs, great dancing, and a
wonderful showcase for Gene
Kelly's talents. In other words,
Singin' in the Rain is a
delightfully entertaining picture.
Enough said.

(Incidentally, each of these
films is scheduled for short runs
which will end soon, and so
should rate special consideration

for a place in this weekend's
plans. To save some money, also
consider a trip to Perimeter Mall
Cinema. It offers a special ticket
price of $1.25 for its first matinee,
and is currently playing both
Brother and Rain.)

Dunstan, who retired as
chairman of the Spanish
department at Agnes Scott in
1974, visited the People's
Republic of China in 1974. She
stated that, although she has no
desire to live there, she feels that
for the Chinese, their system of
government is working.

Mrs. Dunstan and her husband
first became interested in travell-
ing to China when the two

visited Russia in 1973. She and
about thirty other people
formed a "Society for the Study
of Chinese Culture" and applied
for permission to enter the coun-
try. After the initial application in
November of 1973, and extensive
paperwork, communication and
investigation, the group was
notified that seventeen of them,
with "no additions and no
substitutions", could go in
August of 1974.

The seventeen flew first to
Tokyo and then to Peking. They
visited schools, homes, com-
munes, factories and hospitals.
In the hospitals they observed

doctors practicing both
"western" and traditional
medicine. The latter involves the
use of herbs and accupuncture.
The schools stress friendship first
and competition second. They
consider personal glory a sin. In
the homes the grandparents fre-
quently live with their children
and take care of the young ones.
Older people are revered.

On the whole, Mrs. Dunstan
was impressed by the friendly
spirit, openess, lack of tension,
and the pride in their ac-
complishments of the Chinese
people. Although much of the
housing is still less than ideal and

Library proposes changes

The browsing section in the
library has a new system for the
publicizing of current books.
The new system, based on
student suggestion, uses reader
opinion and criticism to aid the

browser in making a choice. A
sheet of paper will be placed at
the front of each book in the
browsing section on which
anyone who reads the book will

be entitled to write an opinion of
it.

Books in the browsing section
include best sellers, and the
library takes especial notice of
current books on, for, and about
women. Student suggestions for
books on the browsing shelf are
welcome. Any suggestion to the
library should include author,
title, and publisher.

The Library Committee is
made up of both students and
faculty. Mr. Luchsinger, Head
Librarian, said that the com-
mittee has a great interest in
student ideas and expressed a
hope that the Library Committee
would be a channel for better
communications between the
students and the library. Further
changes and innovations in the
library are forthcoming.

Lake Lanier was
site of C.A. retreat

by Pam Hamilton

Members of Christian As-
sociation spent September 2nd
and 3rd at Decatur Presbyterian
Church's retreat center on Lake
Lanier. The beauty of our
surroundings had a peaceful and
relaxing effect on all of us. The
purpose of the retreat was to dis-
cuss plans and new ideas
concerning the upcoming year,
set goals, get to know each other
better, and most of all. . . to enjoy
each other and have FUN!

Together with our advisor, Mary
Sheats, we rejoiced, prayed,
shared our thoughts, swam,
sang, and sang some more. A
recurring idea discussed was to
reach out to all students on the
campus, and to include
everyone in our campus ac-
tivities. Coming up on October 3

is the square dance in Rebekah
parking lot. Also, we discussed
various service projects to be
carried out in the Decatur area,
such as helping elderly people,
leading brownie troop, and
tutoring.

During the retreat it was

decided that Pam Hamilton

would replace Coile Estes as
treasurer.

Members of the CA Board
attending the retreat were Lucta
Allen, Karen White, Mary Anne
Barlow, Beverly Brown, Jean
Williams, Deedee Morton,
Robin Ransbotham, Pam
Ham\Jton, and sponsor, Mrs.
Sheats. ^

Lunchtime Olympics

by Anicia Lane

Did you know a new category
will be added to the Olympics? It
will be called "The 50 Yard Dash
Through the Lunchline" and will
consist of a lunchline the size of
the one in The Letitia Pate Evans
Dining Hall, a stack of trays (wet),
and a giant clock facing the
contestants announcing every
quarter-second "Two more
minutes till class! Two more
minutes till class!" The trick will
be to race from Point A at the
start of the line, pick up tray,
select food items, pour coffee,
pick up loaded tray, balance
loaded tray to Point B ("Salad
Table"), set down tray (points off
for dropping dishes), squeeze in
between 25 pairs ot hands reach-
ing for salad, and continue to the
Goal-line, the fartherest table in
the cafeteria. Points are counted
off for spilling coffee, tripping
over feet, and bumping into a

pack of professors charging in
the front door. As a handicap,
contestants will be expected to
wear high heels, long skirts, carry
shoulder bags, and smile.

I'm entering, although I've yet
to perfect my style with a han-
dicap other than my shoulder
bag. Also, I've never really made
it through the line in the time
limit. Something always hinders
my performance; a professor
wanders in my path, I spill my
coffee all over the tray and my
shoes and the floor, or else my
physical endurance collapses
midway through the cafeteria
and I'm forced to crashland at
the nearest table. I'll keep prac-
ticing. I have dreams of running
as the Olympic Torchbearer, a
loaded tray with the morsels of
Agnes Scott cookery in one hand
and the mighty torch in the
other.

Editorial

Freshman mascot

Now that we are in the midst of the great tradition of Black Cat, it is
time to examine another Agnes Scott tradition, the secrecy of the
freshman class mascot. In the past few years the tec' niques which
sophomores have used to extract the secret from fr .hmen have
changed from sly sneaky to cruel and dangerous. Once cunning was
the characteristic most important in this contest, but now force is the
most important, and by applying force to Black Cat we have
undermined the purpose of the tradition.

The object of Black Cat is to honor freshmen after their period of
orientation, but the pitting of one class against another encourages
harrassment and disunity. It is ironic that one of the major events
planned to bring the classes together in sisterly harmony separates
them into warring factions. And warring is the adjective to use in des-
cribing the actions of those involved in the keeping and breaking of
the secret this fall.

Hiding in closets during meetings is entertaining, but vandalism
and kidnapping are offensive. The guessing of the freshman mascot is
a game that can be fun or it is one that can be taken as a matter of life
and death. If next year's freshman and sophomore classes cannot
conduct themselves in an enjoyable manner, then perhaps Mortar
Board should consider doing away with this minor tradition of Black
Cat before the abuse of this tradition does away with Black Cat.

Theatre Workshop, and "Women in Black Literature," at the New
Cosmos Cultural Theatre, will be performed October 10, Center

The Guarneri String Quartet
will present an all-Beethoven
performance Tuesday evening,
October 14 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser
Hall. Members of the quartet
are; Mr. john Dalley - violin, Mr.
David Soyer - cello, Mr. Arnold
Steinhardt - violin, and Mr.
Michael Tree - viola. The
Guarneri Quartet is an
internationally famous ensemble
known for its elegant
interpretations of the classics of
string quartet literature.

This year marks the tenth an-
niversary of the Guarneri, which
was founded at the j en-
couragement of Alexander
"Mischa" Schneider, a member
of the distinguished Budapest
Quartet (now separated). The
Guarneri's first New York
appearance, in February of 1965,
met with enthusiastic critical and
popular acclaim which has con-
tinued throughout their years
together. They have also ex-
perienced outstanding success
in recordings (exclusively on the
RCA label), often in
collaboration with Arthur
Rubenstein.

The group takes its name from
a family of Italian stringed
instrument makers of the
eighteenth century. The original
Guarneri are considered by
many experts to have made
instruments comparable in
quality to those of the more
famous Stradivari family. Mr.
Steinhardt's violin was made by

Joseph Guarneri in 1740, and Mr.
Soyer's cello by Andrea Guarneri
in 1669.

All of the members of the
quartet were notable buloists
before uniting theij talents to
form the Guarneri. Because they
are so successful in blending
their individual characteristics,
"there are few ensembles
around today that match the
Guarneri in this exceptional sen-
sitivity to balance, and when this
is added to its other assets, like
warmth of tone, cohesiveness of
rhythm and flexibility ot
dynamics, the result is chamber
music in a close to ideal state."

p. 291)

Infirmary becomes
Health Center

R. C. 167

Oneof the major changes over
the summer was the
reorganization of the Infirmary.
The Health Center, as it is now
called, operates in cooperation
with Emory Community Nursing
Center. It is open 24 hours a day
and is not confined, as the In-
firmary was, to boarding
students - Faculty and
dependents, day students, non-
traditional students and all
Agnes Scott staff are invited to
use the health service with an
initial fee of five dollars.

There are five nurses who
rotate duty during the week.
They are qualified to treat minor
ailments without consultation
and to conduct teaching sessions
on subjects such as first aid along
with aspects of personal health
care. These and other bki I Is being
acquired by nurses reflect the in-
creasing need for doctors which
is now being partially met by in-
creasing nursing skills. Any
patient needing further medical
attention will, of course, be
referred to a doctor.

Under the new program, there
is also psychiatric consultation
available. The hours are from
12:30 to 2:30 on Wednesdays,
and from 5:00 to 7:00 on Fridays.
Dr. Freeman, a gynecologist, is
available on Tuesday nights.
Students are requested to make
appointments. There are no
charges for visits on campus,
although there will be charges
for prolonged psychiatric care,
as there will also be charges for
lab work and x-rays done at the
Health Center.

Head nurse, Rosemary Kriner,
stressed, at the informal con-
vocation which discussed the
health program, that the service
intends to continue or assist the
patient's family physician and
does not intend to take his or her
place. It was also stressed that a
student who needs to go to the
Health Center during the night
should contact the Center and
be escorted by Security and not
to attempt to make the trip
alone.

Rep reports

The RC allowing male visiting
hours passed by a vote of 17-7 at .
Rep Coun< H meeting on rues.,
Oct. 7. In atftei business, a i om-
miner wns formed to tabulate

vocations, and if was reported
thnt Glee Club has returned to

year. The amount is $1210.10.

Preceding the vote on RC 172
was a discussion in which Rrp
mpmhrf-. and ntlvr students ex-
pressed their views. The RC was
discussed as a steppingstone to
further liberalization of dorm
pbli< v. and as ii pertains to the
freedom of Scott students and to
the future of A^nes Scott. Rep
Member Molly McDonald said
in favnr of ihn measum, "It will

liven up the dorms." The motion

THE CONSUMPTION OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ON
CAMPUS.

WHEREAS, the majority of
Agnes Scott students are 18 years
or older, and

WHEREAS, a college at-
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
Georgia and Decatur laws
regarding the consumption of
alcoholic beverages as follows:

The proposed \IC 172 states that
mate v^...s. s hours will be held
on Sundays from 1:30 to 5 p.m.
Male visitors must call for ASC
students in the lobby and be es-
corted by the students to the
halls.

Honor system to be discussed in convocation

By Anne Walker
On Wed., Oct. 22 at 11 :30 a.m.
Honor Court will sponsor a dis-
cussion of some current
problems with the honor system
and its applications to both
academic and social policies.
Topics to be covered are
stealing, drinking and drug
policies, dormitory safety,
academic carelessness, ex-
amination policy, and the dining
hall.

Honor Court believes that the
maintenance of the honor
system is dependent upon the
active participation of all

(Editor's note: This is the first
of a series of interviews with
faculty members.)

by Eleanor Yancey

Huguette Kaiser, associate
professor of French, after com-
ing to the United States in 1959,
attended St. Mary's College as a
non-traditional student and
reports that without their sup-
port and encouragement she
would not be at Agnes Scott
today.

Mrs. Kaiser was born in Hanoi,
Vietnam, the daughter of a U.N.
Financial Advisor to the Laotian
Government. Her early
childhood was spent in Vietnam,
Laos, Cambodia and Somaliland.
After the outbreak of War in
1937, she spent the next ten
years in Pondichery, India. Her
family, French Colonialists for
two generations, went back to

A new department was
created at Agnes Scott this year
in order to consolidate the
student, faculty and ad-
ministration printing needs. The
Department of Office Services is
now the center for all copy
services, and is under the direc-
tion of Secretary to the Faculty
Mrs. Emma Zell. A copy machine
and an offset printing press have
been acquired for the
department. According to Mrs.
Zell, the office does "quite a bit
of printing. We print tests and
outlines for professors and

members of the campus com-
munity, in particular the students
and faculty. The honor system is
a dynamic, not a static, one.
Although it has a long history, its
strength is not based on history
but on continued effort over the
years. When any slackness
begins to spread in the system,
the whole system is weakened.

Dean IHudson will open the
meeting with a few remarks on
the present situation on campus,
emphasizing the role of dual res-
ponsibility, the need for working
for change through appropriate

France only during her father's
infrequent vacations; they
would sail to France and back
during the summer - it was on
such return voyage in 1954 that
they received the news that
Diem had been defeated.

In 1959, Mrs. Kaiser came to
the United States as a visitor. She
had no plans for a permif>ent
stay. She arrived with the
stereotyped views of Americans
that foreigners sometimes ex-
tract from American movies, e.g.
she envisioned her husband be-
ing stolen by a unscrupulous

American heiress. Instead she
says, "Something which struck
me the most was the kindness
Americans showed towards us
from the first minute we arrived
in South Bend." She liked the
U.S. immediately and although
there were times when she en-

along with cards and envelopes.
We do all the printing that needs
to be done for the school." She
added that a lot of work is done
for student groups.

Anyone wanting personal
copies made or printing done
should contact Mrs. Zell. The of-
fice is the former day student
lounge in the basement of But-
trick. Five days' notice is re-
quired for material that needs to
be typed, and two days' notice is
required for material ready to be
printed. Each typed page should

channels rather than through
disregarding present policies,
and the general carelessness that
threatens to chip away at the
base of the honor system's
strength.

Last spring the members of
Honor Court began to see the
need for a campus-wide meeting
to examine some of the
weaknesses which became
evident at the end of the year.
After Mrs. Hudson speaks,
several Honor Court members
will briefly address themselves to

countered differences in cus-
toms, like the time she couldn't
understand why a grocer would
not sell her twelve-year-old
daughter some beer, she en-
joyed her stay very much.

Mrs. Kaiser made her decision
to say in the U.S. after a dream
she had in which she was being
compelled to return to France
a country which although
beautiful, seemed remote to the
daughter and granddaughter of
Colonialists. The dream made
her realize she wanted to
remain permanently in the
United States. She became a
citizen after a time, and was of-
ficially listed as Vietnamese
instead of French because the
quota of French immigrants was
full for the year and the Viet-
namese quota wasn't.

both top and bottom. Prices for
copier are 80<t for the first 20
pages and V2C per copy for every
extra page.

"Last year we only had one
copy machine, and no one to do
typing for the faculty, "said Vice-
President of Business Affairs R.
James Henderson. "And the cost
this year is not much more than
last year. In terms of total prin-
ting, the new equipment is less
expensive it gives more per
dollar than last year's
equipment."

specific problems. Two principal
causes are involved, those of in-
difference and misinformation.
Indifference results from taking
a system for granted, from
removing that which is a central
foundation of the college to a
background position. The cam-
pus faces loss of trust not so
much because of the breaking of
the honor code, but because of
indifference to it resulting in a
lack of concern and neglect of

personal responsibility. This res-
ponsibility rests on the shoulders
of every member of the com-
munity, not just the members of
judicial boards. As an example,
Honor Court members are often
approached by students who ask
that they tell an individual about
some violation, not realizing that
they as students are just as res-

Joachim Fest, German author
of the book, "Hitler, A
Biography," speaks Oct. 21 at
Agnes Scott College on
"Problems of a Hitler
Biographer." The free, public
talk isat8:15p.m. in Presser Hall.

Fest's biography of Hitler has
been translated into 15
languages since its first
publication in 1973 in German.
The English translation is
published by Harcourt, Brace,
Jovanovich.

Fest, born in Berlin, served in
Hitler's army during the latter
part of World War II and was an
American prisoner of war. After
the war, he studied law, history,
sociology, German sciences and
art history at Frieburg University.

The Archeological Institute of
America will sponsor a lecture
on Greek archeology by Guenter
Kopcke on Wednesday, October
22 at 8:1 5 p.m. in Room 109 Dana.
Mr. Kopcke has served as
Curator of the Staatlichen An-
tikensammlungen in Munich
and lecturer at the University of
Zurich, and has worked on ex-

ponsible for dealing with negleci
or ignorance of policies. At the
street dance held during Orien-
tation, another senior' asked me
to tell one of the boys not to
drink on campus. This indirect
method may be effective, but it
would be far better if we would
realize that anyone can, and

everyone should feel free to ap-
proach another person to clarify
a situation in which the student
has been misinformed or is
neglecting her responsibility to
the community.

Not only is our own slacking
up to blame for the indifference,
but also the lack of contrast with
the stricter, more confining
regulations of the past. No

leading newspapers. He is also a

Fest began his biography of
Hitler in 1966. In it, he not only
develops a portrait of Hitler, but
also correlates the events in Nazi
Germany with world events.

Fest has written another book
about Nazi Germany entitled
"The Face of the Third Reich," a
series of brief portraits of the
leading Nazi figures, including,
among others, Hitler, Goebbels,
Goring, Bormann and Hess. This

Editorial

None of the above

This year they're calling me ''Non-Traditionar. That's cute. Last
year it was "Special Student". May I suggest that next year they con-
sider something with a little more class and less concu cension? Call
me "Student."

The American white Anglo standard of pidgeon-holing persons
under the headings of "White" and "Non-white" for the
convenience of computers came under rapid fire from various
minority groups for obvious reasons, one being resentment toward
the standard, "White". By the same token, I resent the standard of
"Student" as being one who is "the normal college age" (whatever
that is). Do they mean age 18? Some people graduate at 16. Maybe
they mean 19 because some of us graduated a little later than others.
But then there again I'm assuming a standard graduation from high
school at the age of 18. For some of us, a funny thing happened on the
way to college. We took a couple of years to cope with the world and
then return to school as a way of taking our brains out of mothballs.

If I feel out of place boarding on campus as a "Non-Traditional"
student, it's because I'm the only one. There ought to be more of us
"beyond the usual college age" boarding here; women with varied
backgrounds and ages in such quantity that an 18 year old fresh out of
high school would be considered "Non-Traditional".

A chain reaction by the
sophomore class occurs only
when such action by the
freshman class has already
begun. After all, the object is to
find out the mascot and to have
ample evidence of it. Ap-
parently, because it is the
sophomores reacting, it is the
freshmen who begin the trouble
in the first place. To what extent
the sophomores have to go is
pre-determ i ned by the
freshmen.

The so-called "vandalism",
which was really trespassing only
because of the circumstance, is a

result of off-campus projects.
"Kidnapping" is a rather harsh
word to use in describing the
retainance of the freshmen to
seduce information from them.

It is probable to believe that
such actions as these have oc-
cured as long as Black Cat has.
The "enjoyable manner" you
speak of begins with the
freshmen. I'm not saying it
should be made easier, just more
reasonable.

Sincerely,

Redford movie does not click

Three Days of the Condor is
technically a political thriller
about the C.I. A., but in a real
sense it is simply the latest Robert
Redford movie. It is considerably
better than the idiotic Way We
Were, another "Redford pic-
ture," but it is essentially only
average a shame, for its theme
of abuse of power and its story of
one man's fight against that
abuse have considerable poten-
tial. But Condor is one of those
near-misses, a promising film
that never quite clicks.

The most glaring flaw in Con-
dor is its abysmally bad score,
which sounds like canned music
and is frequently inappropriate
as well, but the most serious flaw
is probably the pace. The film
progresses slowly, and instead of

building suspense, which was
presumably intended and can
indeed sometimes be achieved
in such a manner, the pacing
gives one of the leisure to really
scrutinize the film. Accordingly,
the occasional false-ringing lines
of dialogue jar more, co-in-
cidences seem more forced, and
so on. Condor is not all that
inferior to more successful films
of its genre; one simply notices
its little flaws and tricks more,
and becomes overly conscious of
watching a film. It does not pull
its audience in, and in a thriller
this is an especially damaging
failure.

On the plus side, Condor does
have moments that are
genuinely exciting or moving,
and several small but excellent

bits of dialogue, including a clos-
ing line which gives the film a
powerful and effective ending.
And Redford offers a strong
performance, showing special
skill in his subtle portrayal of Joe
Turner as a hero. He makes
Turner a man of quiet con-
victions and honest humanity, a
hero who is, for example, both
courageous and desperately
frightened. Redford's sensitive
acting gives value to Condor as a
kind of slow-moving character
sketch, but considered as a film,
Three Days of the Condor is
generously forgettable.

Ph.D. at Emory in 1970. Her first
topic. "Feminism in the Six-

choice dealt with the poetry of a
relatively unknown French-

of the Class of '78 and 51.6% of

Seniors honored in traditional festivities

This year's Senior Investiture
Weekend, the formal
recognition of the ascension of
the Class of 1976 to senior rank,
will be on campus October 25
and 26.

Investiture is one of the very
oldest traditions at Agnes Scott.
It dates from the days of the
Agnes Scott Institute, when Miss
Nanette Hopkins, the principal,
began a little ceremony to
symbolize the achievement of

senior status and the acceptance
of its accompanying res-
ponsibilities and privileges.
Seniors were invited to Miss
Hopkin's room, where they
would kneel on a cushion one by
one to receive caps from her.
Investiture has since evolved
from this single ceremony into a
weekend of varied events, and
serves as a complement to the
j preceding spring's Capping rites.
The Weekend opens with the

Investiture Service itself, held at
10:00 a.m. on the twenty-fifth
(Saturday) in Gaines. In addition
to the placing of seniors' caps by
Dean Gary, the service includes
an academic procession, the
posting of an honor guard by the
sophomore class, and a talk by
Associate Professor jo Allen
Bradham of the English
Department. Miss Bradham will
speak on "The New Republic."
After the service there will be a

Faculty interview

ASC's Miller's Tale

by Susan Smith

Robert S. Miller , a member of
the psychology department,
joined the Agnes Scott faculty in
the fall of 1974. In an interview
with a Profile reporter, Susan
Smith, Mr. Miller revealed that
even .teachers can be human.

Susan Smith: "Where were
you born?"

Robert Miller: "Do you really
care?"

S.S.: "No."

R.M. : "Well, if you must know,
Haverhill, Massachusetts."

S.S. : "Where did you go to
school?"

R.M.: "Well, at age five I
entered Miss Strand's School for
Little Children, and then from
there. . .do you really want to
hear all the schools I went to?"

5.S.: "No."

R.M.: "Well, to summarize
them, public schools in Haverhill
through high school, then to
Amherst College, and then to
Dartmouth College for my
graduate work. Isn't this going to
make scintillating reading?"

S.S.: "Do I really have to
answer that?. . .Wait. . .Don't
write that down!"

R.M.: "That won't make any
sense. They won't realize I'm the
one taking the notes."

S.S.: "So tell them."

R.M.: "I suppose I just did."

S.S.: "How in the world did
you ever get into this career?"

R.M.: "I keep asking myself
that. Over and over. All day. All

night. But seriously folks, I don't
know. I think mainly because of
my compliance and lack of
initiative as a child and
adolescent. Since I always did
pretty well in school, and since I
never could think of anything
else to do, I just keep getting
pushed along through more

and more education. Finally you
get to the point where there's
nothing left to do but teach. My
parents were always strong
believers in education, and I
never remember not realizing I
would someday go to college. I
think my father had teaching in
mind for me from the start it's

what he always wanted to do, but
wasn't able for financial reasons.
When the time came to go to
college, the expectation was that
I would go to the best school I
could get into. If I had any
particular career orientation at
that point, I think it was elemen-

tary or secondary education, but
apparently it wasn't a very strong
orientation because the fact that
Amherst didn't have a
department of education didn't
seem to strike anyone as
relevant, including me. I did well
majoring in psychology, and so

got a certain amount of pressure
from my professors to go to
graduate school. My admiration
for one of them in particular was
an important factor in my com-
pliance. So I ended up in
graduate school still uncertain
completely about whether my

life was on a reasonable course.
But sort of to my surprise after a
year and a half I really started to
like what I was doing."

S.S.: "Why did you
psychology?"

chose

R. M. : "There was more choice
than compliance in that
decision, but also a certain
amount of chance. My older
brother (whom I always sort of
idolized) had majored in it, so I
had it in the back of my head as
an option. In my first two years of
a complete liberal arts education

(I took introduction to
everything) I systematically
eliminated just about everything
else. For a while I was going to
major in biology. . .until I took
chemistry. Then I considered
English, dramatic arts, German,
mathematics, just about
everything. Psychology sort of
won out by default. But it did

seem right for me. I perceived
myself as having ability in the
natural sciences, but little
interest; and interest in the
humanities, but little ability.
Psychology seemed like a
reasonable compromise. And
still does."

S.S. : "How did you happen to
end up at Agnes Scott?"

R.M.: "Frankly, because of the
job market. I applied for every
opening in the country I was
qualified for, and this was the
best of the jobs I got."

Perry will host a special breakfast
in the dining hall for seniors and
'their parents. At 11:30 a.m. the
Investiture worship service will
be conducted in Gaines by Dean
james T. Laney of the Candler
School of Theology at Emory.

The offering made at the service
is donated to charity by the
senior class.

To round out Investiture
Weekend, the Library will open
the Robert Frost Room and the
Agnes Scott Room from 12:30 to
4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and
dorms will permit limited visiting
hours on the halls so that families
may visit in seniors' rooms.

Open dorms passed
by committee

The Administrative Com-
mittee approved the Student
Government Association's RC
dealing with open dorms by a
narrow margin o*n Mon., Oct. 20.

The RC will have been
presented to the Executive Com-
mittee of the Board of Trustees
by the time this article appears.
The Executive Committee may
approve it, reject it or return it to
Rep to be revised. Regardless of
whether or not they approve the
RC. it will be presented to 'the
Board of Trustees at the regular
meeting in january.

As it now stands, the RC
presents the following plan:

Men will be allowed to visit a
student's room on Sunday
afternoons from 1 : 30 to 5:00 p.m.

with the following stipulations:
1) A student must sign her
guest in and accompany him to
and from the lobby. No male
may come to a room unescorted;
he must call for a student from
the lobby.

2^ Men must usethe men's res-
trooms in the lobbies. (Inman
will have to make some conces-
sion since it does not have
facilities for men.)

3) /V^le guests must abide by
all our policies in regard to
alcohol, drugs, fire drills, quiet,
etc. It is the responsibility of the
student to inform her guests of
these policies.

4) Violation of any rules would
result in an automatic dormitory
council case.

Editorial

Reserve system

A new cause of frustration and annoyance has been introduced at
Agnes Scott. This new cause is the revised system for reserve books in
the library. While the old system had its problem. *he present
method seems to have even greater ones.

The books on reserve for each class are listed in an index at the
main desk. Unless a student knows which book she wants, she must
either pick one at random, using the pig-in-a-poke system, or she
must ask the librarian on duty to bring all the books on reserve that
may have something to do with that in which she is interested.

If the student chooses the first approach, she may find (after she has
checked out the book and has taken it back to her study area) that it
does not meet her needs. She then returns it to the librarian, and tries
again. This may go on forever, as most applications of the trial-and-
error method do.

If the student chooses the second alternative, she will force the
librarian to wait in attendance while she goes through the tables of
contents and the indexes of each book. If there are a number of
books on reserve for her class this may take quite a while. Both of the
choices open to the student waste her time and the librarian's and, as
everyone knows, study time is very valuable.

The most annoying aspect of the newsystem is that it isan attrontto
the student body. The library seems to have decided that Agnes Scott
College students are not responsible or mature enough to check out
books in an unsupervised situation. Under the honor system the idea
that there may be a need for surveillance in any area is abhorrent.

The old system was abused, but in trying to solve that problem,
should we not ask ourselves why it was abused? Was it because there
was no strict supervision of the system, or because there was no en-
forcement of rules? Did the librarians report abuses to Honor Court,
or did they simply change the system itself? The honor system needs
to be strengthened, and perhaps the library can help by returning to
the former, unsupervised reserve system and applying the honor
code. For the most part, Agnes Scott students are trustworthy.

To whom it Concerns:

Have you ever felt in a bind,
like you were being crushed
between a vise? This seems to be
a common feeling amongst the
more involved campus and
academically inclined members.
Generally the two come hand in
hand.

Agnes Scott is a liberal arts
college; therefore, it should
entertain all ideas. Classes
should be dominated by
intelligent discussions that are
supported by the foundation of
outside readings. The student
should discover the important
points of a subject instead of hav-
ing them presented in a lecture.
As intelligent people, we are
capable of evaluation through
integrity. Of course, we run into
the age-old problem of the non-

serious minded student who
does not prepare for class and
wants to and in fact has always
been spoon fed. Then there is
the professor who has fallen into
the same rut as the student. My
question is, should a school
lower its standards to continue to
produce inept students who fit
well into the social structure of
society or should it raise the stan-
dards and guide students
towards a liberal arts education
in the true sense of the word? It is
nice to get an adequate
education; and that is what Scott
gives, but would it not be better
to achieve superiority instead of
mediocrity, to reach beyond the
required and to discover for
oneself that your thirst for
knowledge is never satisfied? It is
hard to entertain, much less

announcing. . .

The Rope Dancers

Blackfriars' fall play to open

The Agnes Scott College
Blackfriars salute the Bicenten-
nial with the Atlanta premiere of
the American drama, The Rope
Dancers, Oct. 31 , Nov. 1 , 6 and 7.
For tickets, call 371-1200.

"The Rope Dancers" is the
only Broadway play ever written
by the late American playwright
Morton Wishengrad. It opened
in New York in 1957 for 189
performances, starring Siobhan
McKenna, Art Carney and Joan
Blonde!!.

The play centers on an es-
tranged Irish-American couple
living in a New York tenement
about 1900. The mother attempts
to hide her daughter from the
world. She believes her

daughter's strange physical
deformity is a punishment for
her own yielding to her natural
sexual feelings for her wastrel
husband.

Wishengrad, who died in 1963,
grew up during the depression
and worked in New York ship-
ping yards. He became a script
writer for radio and early
television, authoring scripts for
the U.S. Steel Hour and other
shows. He won the Peabody
Award in 1948 for his radio script,
Communism, U.S. Brand.

In the Blackfriars production
of The Rope Dancers, roles are
played by Atlanta actors Harold
Hall as the father, Charles Morris
as a moving man and a cop, Jack
Williams as a truant officer and

Comments favor new calendar

(continued from p. 1, col. 2)

S.S.: "How did you feel about'
coming to the South?"

R.M.: "Ambivalent. Realizing I
was finally after all those years as-
suming an adult role in society
was a real high. Moving so far
from home wasn't. I'm in-
credibly attached to my family
and my graduate school friends,
all of whom were remaining in
New England. As for the South
itself, I think I approached it with
a minimum of prejudice. I'd
always figured the stereotypes
one is exposed to in the North
were exaggerated."

S.S.: "Did you have any dif-
ficulty adjusting when you got
here?" ,

R.M.: "More than I expected.
There was difinitely a period of
culture shock when I first arrived
that's only now beginning to go
away. I never could pin down the
source exactly, but I felt a dif-
ficulty of communication."

5.5. : "Did it have anything to
do with your accent?"

R.M.: "Probably. I'll never
forget the day a couple of weeks
after I got here when I was dis-
cussing the history of
psychology, and asked my class,
"What can you tell me about
Darwin?" I was met with ab-
solutely blank stares, and stood
there thinking, "Oh my God,
they still don't teach this down
here." As soon as I wrote the
name on the board, however,
the students knew all about him,
and I realized the problem had
been my accent. I now make a
conscious effort in class ro
pronounce my r's.

' "But the difficulty of com-
munication was more than that
and I haven't been able to pin it
down. I found my sense of
humor different from that of
most people here. I assume it all
amounted to some difference in
values.

"Part of it was probably a touch
of paranoia on my part, wonder-
ing how I would be reacted to. I

had the feeling I was here partly
as a token Northerner, and that
made me more aware of
differences between myself and
everybody else. For example, I
wasn't prepared to discover the
central role religion seemed to
play at Agnes Scott. I come from
pretty nonreligious background.
When I meet religious people I
often worry about whether
they're self-righteous. When I
came here I spent months
wondering what would happen
if people found out I haven't
been in a church since I was 13
except to attend funerals. What
do you think? Should I let you
print that?"

5.5.: "I don't know. I can't look
at it objectively. I'm too self-
righteous."

R. M. : "Then you better ask me
something different."

5.5.: "What are your feelings
about Agnes Scott?"

R.M.: "I think it's safe to say
that Agnes Scott with its many
and varied facets, has at one time
of another elicited from me the
full range of human emotions."

5.5.: "That isn't a very specific
answer."

R.M.: "That wasn't a very
specific question."

S.M.: "Has your opinion of
that Agnes Scott woman
changed since you got here?"

R.M.: "Which woman is that?"

5.5.: (Screams) "I mean the
Agnes Scott student."

R.M.: "Well, I know it
changed dramatically last year
when I witnessed my first Black
Cat."

5.5.: "Speaking of Black Cat,
how is your Pat McWaters
imitation coming along?"

R.M.: "What is this? You're
supposed to be the straight man
here. Any more questions?"

5.5.: "Do you have any hob-
bies?"

R.M.: "Oh sure, hard drugs,
gambling, sexual perversion
all the usual ones. I'm just folks."

These comments were made
on campus last week concerning
the long Christmas vacation:

Miss Brandham: "I like it."

Susi Van Vleck (Freshman): "I
think it's an excellent idea; I'm
excited at the idea of a six week
vacation."

Miss Cabisius: "I would prefer
a longer summer so I'd have
more time for research and
travel."

Mr. McNair: "I've taught
under the old system and new,
and it doesn't make any
difference."

Miss Ripy: "I don't believe
we've had the new schedule
long enough for an academic

comparison. I don't think the
new schedule hurts Juniors or
Seniors who are mostly involved
in quarter courses. However, a
long break in year long courses,
which are mainly taken by
Freshmen and Sophomores, is a
drawback. Students tend to
forget material already covered.

Anne Paulin (Junior): "I really
like it, it shows Agnes Scott is liv-
ing up to its role as a modern
woman's college."

Shirley Chan (Sophomore):
"It's great!"

Mr. Cochran: "There are
pluses and minuses to both
schedules. Last year's change in

schedule presented problems in
adjustment which I don't think
will be present this year. An ex-
tended period in the middle of
the year provides time for
research and preparation for
Winter and Spring courses. I
would like to know student
opinion of the new schedule.

Emily Rumph (Senior): "I've
been here under both schedules
and I prefer the new one. The
two week Christmas vacation
was just long enough to waste,
the six week vacation is long
enough in which to accomplish
something and still have two
weeks to waste."

Dec-Your-Dorm awards given

Awards were given to the most
attractive dorm and cottage
rooms in the Dec-Your-Down
competition held Friday, Oct. 17.

Rooms were judged on the
basis of originality in decorating
(not the most money spent),
neatness, cleanliness, and
creative use of facilities. Overall
dorms and cottages were judged
on the individual rooms and on
the originality and creativity
shown throughout the dorm.
First, second and third places
were awarded in each dormitory
and first in each cottage. One
award was given for the best
overall dorm or cottage.

Cathy Carr and Patsy CraNe,
104 Walters, won the award for
best room on campus. The best
overall dorm or cottage was
Main.

First, second and third places
for each dorm were: for Main
dorm, first, Eva Gantt, 314;

If you ignore it,
maybe it'll go away...

...and other
famous cancer legends.

In an all-out effort to avoid the truth, people have cre-
ated some pretty imaginative phrases.

Like the ever-popular "What I don't know can't hurt
me." And "Never sick a day in my life." You hear that
a lot. Especially from people who are finally forced to
see their doctors. When it's often too late.

Logic doesn't work. Facts don't seem to sink in. We
have no recourse but to fight fire with fire with some
more meaningful phrases.

Like "1 in 3 is being saved now. 1 in 2 could be saved
if people went for checkups regularly."

And "more than 200,000 were saved last year. Regu-
lar checkups can help save thousands more."

What are you waiting for? Don't you want to enjoy
the peace of mind that comes from knowing you're
doing the best thing for your health?

If it's slogans you want, we can give them to you.
We'll do anything to try to make cancer a legend in its
own time. But we need your help.

Help yourself with a checkup!

It's what you don't know that can hurt you !

Vol. LXII-No.^

Dr. Samuel Stukes,
Dean-Emeritus, dies

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE -. DECATUR, GEORGIA 3003Q-

Janeway to be speaker

Dr. Samuel Guerry Stukes,
who served as Dean of the
Faculty for 44 years, died on the
evening of Thurs., Oct. 23 at the
age of 88.

Dr. Stukes came to Agnes Scott
as a professor of philosophy and
education in 1913. Ten years
later he became the registrar, a
post he filled-until 1939, when he
became the Dean of the Faculty.
He was elected a trustee of the
college in 1944 and a trustee-
emeritus in 1971.

After retiring in 1957, Dr.
Stukes served as an educational
consultant at the Decatur
Federal Savings and Loan As-
sociation. The Lions Club of
Decatur named him "Senior
Citizen of Dekalb County" in
1966.

He was a member of Decatur
Presbyterian Church and taught
the Men's Bible Class there.

During the 1940,s Dr. Stukes

was a member of the board of
Directors of the Dekalb Chapter
of the American National Red
Cross and served as the vice-
chairman of the chapter from
1943 to 1946.

He was born in Manning, S.C.
on October 1,1887. After receiv-
ing his B.A. from Davidson
College, Dr. Stukes went on to
earn an M.A. at Princeton
University, a B.D. at Princeton
Seminary and a D. Ped. at David-
son.

In 1925 he married Frances
Gilliland, and they had one
daughter, Mrs. J.B.
Irickland of Lewisburg,Pa.

Dr. Stukes was a member of
Davidson's Phi Beta Kappa
chapter and a charter member of
Agnes Scott College's chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa, founded in
1926.

"Celebration of an Op-
portunity," a three-day
celebration of International
Women's Year, is being spon-
sored by 'Mortar Board and will
feature as guest speaker well-
known writer Elizabeth Janeway.

Mrs. Janeway will speak on
"International Women's Year-
Token or Opportunity" on
November 5 at 8:15 p.m. in
Gaines; the lecture will be
followed by a reception in
Rebekah Reception room.

After writing ten books for
young people, Mrs. Janeway
produced her first non-fiction
work, Man's World, Woman's

Aptitude test scores drop

According to the records of
the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board, the average
scores on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test have been dropping
regulary since 1963, but the 18
point drop between the classes
of 1974 and 1975 is the most
dramatic in the test's history.

Approximately one-third of all
high school seniors, and two-
thirds of those who plan to go on
to college were represented by
the 996,000 students who took
the SAT this past year. They
averaged 434 on the verbal sec-
tion and 472on the mathematical
section, down from the class of
I974's averages of 444 on the
verbal (a ten point drop) and 460
on the mathematical (an eight
point drop).

There are also fewer students
scoring towards the top of the
200-800 point scale used in mark-
ing the tests. About 30,000 fewer
students scored above 450 on the
verbal SAT in 1975 than in 1974,
and about 20,000 fewer students
scored above 450 on the math.
The decline in the number of
students making high scores is
not due to fewer students taking
the test; on the contrary, ap-
proximately 11,000 more
students from the class fo 1975
were tested than from the
previous class.

Colleges that have
traditionally tried to recruit
students with combined scores
over 1,200 will find the
competition much stiffer due to
the smaller number of students
who fall into this category.

The examinations of the
American College Testing
Program, which test English,
mathematics, social studies, and
the natural sciences, are used in
some areas rather than the
SAT. With the exception of the
natural sciences section, the
ACT exams have also shown a
significant drop in the past year.

The National Assessment of
Educational Progress, in research
sponsored by the Education
Commision of the States, reports
that the declines in skills go
beyond the aptitude tests. For
example, it was indicated in one
report that fewer than one in 100
seventeen year-olds have the
basic math skills necessary to
balance a checkbook.

Officials of both testing
programs have determined that
the falls in scores are not due to
any technical factors, i.e., to
change in the grading system of
the tests or a higher level of dif-
ficulty in the questions.
Although officials have agreed
that technical factors are not res-
ponsible for the decline, they are

not sure just what is responsible.

One possible explanation is
the greater number of non-
traditional students taking the
tes today. Many students who
ten years ago would never have
thought of continuing their
education after high school are
taking the exams for admittance
to vocational and other
specialized schools. These
students generally score less well
than the traditional college-
bound student; therefore, the
averages are brought down.

The advent of increased
numbers of non-traditional
students does not explain the
decrease in high individual
scores, however. Officials cite
the following as possible
reasons:television, emphasis on
social goals (i.e., integration)
rather that fundamental skills in
elementary and secondary
schools, increasing militancy of
teachers, social permissiveness,
and the collapse of family values.

Other facts revealed by an
analysis of the test results for the
class of 1975 on the SAT:
women's averages dropped
slightly more on both sections
than did the men's averages, men
scored higher on the vocabulary
( analogies and antonyms), while
women scored higher on the

(cont'd on p. 4, col. 1)

Between Myth and Morning -
Women Awakening, published
in 1974, is also concerned with
the woman's liberation
movement. She has been given

honorary degrees and ap-
pointments by many colleges.
She edited and wrote the in-
troduction for the New York
Times Changing Roles series on
women, and the Comprehensive
Textbook on Psychiatry for 1974
contains a section by her on the
women's movement.

Mrs. Janeway will also apeak at
an informal conversation with
students on Tues., Nov. 4 from
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in

Rebekah Reception Room. That
night AT 5:30 p.m., a banquet
will be held in the dining hall in
honor of the women on Agnes
Scott's faculty and staff. Professor

Katherine Sims, visiting profes-
sor of history, will speak on
"Women in Academe." At 8:00
p.m. in Rebekah reception
room, a panel of four Scott alum-
nae will discuss the Agnes Scott
woman after graduation. And on
Wed., Nov. 5 at 11 :30 in McLean,

Professor Marie Pepe will give a
slide show presentation and lec-
ture on women in art. During the
week, Art Club will have displays
of art works by women in the
lobby of Buttrick.

Perry announces
calendar decision

Dr. Perry announced this week
that he has decided that the
college will return to the
traditional three-term calendar.

In a letter to the chairmen of
academic departments and ad-
ministrative officers Dr. Perry
cited the following reasons for
this decision:

"1. I am not convinced of the
academic superiority of the ex-
perimental calendar over our
regular calendar. For example,
the long break at Thanksgiving -
Christmas appears to have an
adverse effect on the teaching of
some subjects.

"2. If we remain on the ex-
periemental calendar, we would
be obliged to open college in
late August, i.e. before Labor
Day, if we are to have the same
number of class days we have
had on the experimental calen-
dar these past two years. A late
August beginning would also be

necessary if the experimental
calendar were followed in 1977-
78.

"3. With the College closed for
some six weeks during
November and December, a
reduction in our work force is
necessary at the very holiday
season when steady income is
most important to our em-
ployees.

"4. The Christmas season,
especially for a college with our
heritage, should be an especially
meaningful one for the Agnes
Scott family. I believe there is
much of worth to be derived
from our having the opportunity
to share some of the observance
of the Christmas season
together."

The fall quarter of the
traditional calendar consists of a
Thanksgiving break, followed by
approximately one week of
classes and exams before the
Christmas vacation.

Open dorms RC referred
to committee for study

The Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees referred
the open dorms RC to the
Student Affairs Committee of the
Board in a meeting last week.

The Student Affairs Com-
mittee will meet with the officers

and the parietals committee of
Rep Council to discuss the RC
before the January meeting of
the Baord of Trustees.

Mrs. Gene Moore is the
chairman of the Student Affairs
Committee.

Dictatorship

Should one person be allowed to make decisions 'hat aiiect the
lives of hundreds?ls it fair that that person be shoulc -ed with the
making of such important decisions? The answer is a dc unite "No! "

In abolishing mandatory convocations Dr. Perry acted on his own.
In the past week he has again decided the fate of the campus com-
munity. By deciding whether to return to the former academic calen-
dar or continue with the present experimental one, he has once more
overstepped his bounds.

The very words "academic calendar" indicate that such a decision
should be an academic, not an administrative, one. Such changes
should be made by a committee composed of representatives from
the administration, the faculty and the student body. Perhaps all ma-
jor changes should also be required to meet the approval of the
Board of Trustees, as all major Rep Council RCs must.

Although Dr. Perry did ask for student and faculty opinions on the
subject, the decision was finally his own, determined by his own ideas
on those people. The members of this community are intelligent
enough to decide for themselves what is best.

Major decisions are an important responsibility, and it is not right
to force one man to make these decisions alone., After he has
decided. Dr. Perry must accept all the blame if things go badly. The
president of the college should be relieved of such a tremendous res-
ponsibility.

A committee of adminstrative officers, faculty members and
students could work together to make major changes in a more
democratic manner. Their decisions would be generally more easily
accepted by everyone concerned, because they would be
democratic decisions, not the judgments of a potential dictator.

In th is year of celebration of the 200th anniversary of the American
ideals of liberty, justice and representation for all, we at Agnes Scott
College should act to ensure our own freedom from dictatorship.

Whereas, a stated purpose of
Agnes Scott College is to
"cultivate in the student a sense
of responsibility to the society in
which she lives, both within the
college community and
beyond," and

Whereas, formal college con-
vations are either a recognition
of members of our college com-
munity or speakers from outside
our community, and

Whereas, formal convocations
are usually held on alternate
Wednesdays and average ap-
proximately five per quarter, and

Whereas, non-mandatory
convocations were instated on a
trial basis to allow each member
of the community the res-
ponsibility and privilege of
voluntary attendance, and

Whereas, the attendance of
these formal convocations has
diminished considerably within
the past two years,

Resolved, that the attendance
of students at formal Wednesday
convocations be required.

Resolved, that each student
will be allowed two absences per
quarter.

Resolved, that the following
procedure be instated to
legislate this regulation:

A list of all matriculated
students (one for each floor of
the dorms, one for both cottages
and one for all day students) will
be posted in the lobby of Gaines
from 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. on
the days when formal con-
vocation is held, on which each
student must check her name.
Each student is expected to
accept the responsibility of the
Honor System by checking her
name only in indicating atten-

dance. Convocation committee
will make a list of absent
students, and give this list to an
Interdorm subcommittee, com-
prised of Interdorm members
and the Day Student vice-
chairman. After each absence
subsequent to the two allowed, a
student will be required to
appear before this sub-
committee. The Student
Handbook states that all offices
will be closed during chapel
period; therefore, no tran-
sactions should occurduringthis
time in order that everyone can
attend formal Wednesday con-
vocations.

Resolved, that all members of
the college community, in-
cluding faculty and staff, be
urged to attend.

Resolved, that this RC be on a
trial basis during winter and spr-
ing quarters and be subject to
review at the end of spring
quarter of 1976.

Dog Day Afternoon

Fine acting makes DDA a success

Dog Day Afternoon, the
dramatization of a bizarre
Brooklyn bank robbery staged in
1972 by a man after the money
for his lover's sex change
operation, is being promoted as
a kind of comedy of errors.
Nothing could be further from
the truth.DDAis not without con-
siderable humor (about to be
locked in the vault, a teller re-
quests permission to go to the
bathroom first; later on; bank
robber Sonny sends out for pizza
and cokes for his hostages), but it
is ultimately a very serious film.
Do not expect from it a couple of
hours of light entertainment. Its
audiences walk out of the
theatre afterwards with the same
kind of thoughtful, stricken look
they wore when leaving Butch

Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

This powerful effect is
primarily the result of a good,
solid screen play by Frank
Pierson; highly skilled direction
by Sidney Lumet (who last year
gave us Murder on the Orient
Express); and brilliant acting by
Al Pacino as Sonny, a complex
and difficult role. Whether
Pacino will pick up an Oscar for
the part is of course up to the
whims of the Academy, but he
certainly deserves one.

At any rate, thanks to these
pooled talents of Pierson, Lumet,
and Pacin. DDAavoids all of the
potentially crippling pitfalls of its
tricky subject matter: ex-
ploitation, stereotyping, his-
trionics, and glorification of
crime. It emerges instead as a

sensitive, intelligent film. Its
large and small observation on
human character are perceptive
and often informed by a
somewhat detached com-
passion. Perhaps most im-
portant, the film is never sim-
plistic, but has the courage not
only to raise questions, but to
leave them open rather than set-
tling for easy answers.

Dog Day Afternoon is an
unusual and an unusually good
film. It is not exactly a movie to
be enjoyed, but it is one to be ap-
preciated and is very much
worth seeing.

test of standard written English
which was included for the first
time this year.

A student answers to ques-
tions dealing with previous
education, socioeconomic
background, and plans for post-
graduate work revealed that the
high school course emphasis of
these students had been on the
natural sciences and
mathematics with fewer courses
taken in foreign languages and
the social sciences.

Although women's plans for
post-graduate study are still not
up to the level that the men are
reporting, the gap closed some
between 1974 and 1975. From the
class of 1975, 35% of the women
stated ambitions for further
study.

The effect which these facts
will have on admissions at Agnes
Scott is expected to be minimal.
The admissions committee has
traditionally put more emphasis
on the applicant's high school

record and rank in class than on
aptitude test scores. All members
of the committee will be made
aware of the facts about this drop
and will bear them in mind when
admissions decisions are made,
but it is unlikely that any change
in procedures will occur.

When more is known about
the causes of the drop, it is pos-
sible that some changes in
curriculum and teaching
methods will be made. If in-
coming freshmen are found to
be working below the ex-
pected level of proficiency, em-
be put on bringing freshmen up
to college level, rather than
lowering expections to meet
them. However, no changes are
anticipated by the ad-
ministration until the reports of
current investigations on this
problem are heard, if then.

Origin of Halloween
brought to light

Halloween derives its name
from "hallowed,' or "holy
evening/' because it takes place
on the eve of All Saints' Day. The
celebration originally had many
religious connections. Begun as
an autumn festival by the Druids,
an order of priests in ancient
Gaul and Britain, Halloween was
a time when ghosts, spirits,
fairies, witches and elves were
thought to be wandering about
harming people. The cat was
considered a sacred animal, for
cats were supposedly human
beings who were changed as a
punishment for evil deeds.
The jack-o-lantern originated

Faculty interview

motto for

by Eleanor Graham

Penelope Campbell, associate
professor of history Joined the
Agnes Scott faculty in 1965.
Daughter of a feminist, Miss
Campbell is living life by the
motto: "Do what you want to
do."

Beginning with some perfuntory
questions I learned that:

Miss Campbell was raised on a
tomato farm on the eastern
shore of Maryland by a father
who was a "natural historian"
who recounted old family tales
and a mother who "was probably
the first woman feminist." It is
more than likely her mother's
strong feminist character which
persuaded Miss Campbell "to do
what she wanted to do" and to
maintain her feminine identity in
the process.

As a child, Miss Campbell
attended Maryland public
schools and happened to attend
Baylor University after applying
there the summer before she was
to enter. Majoring in history
resulted as a combination of her
interest in the subject and a
matter of circumstance; she had
previously wanted to go to
Baylor for pre-med, but changed
her mind after her first chemistry
course. Before receiving her
doctorate from Ohio State
University she wrote her
dissertation on the Maryland
Colonization Society (1831-
1857, This society founded a
colony on the west coast of
Africa in order to resettle the
Negroes there. Through her
teaching and writing, it is evident
that Africa is Miss Campbell's
main interest. Presently, she is
preparing another book on
protestant missionaries in
equatorial west Africa.
Discussing the present, she con-

Admitting that she was
somewhat of a controversial

could not enter Heaven because
of his miserliness. Neither could
he enter Hell, because he had
played practical jokes on the
devil. Thus, he was doomed to
walk the earth with his lantern
until Judgment Day.

In the 700's the Roman
Catholic Church proclaimed
November 1 as All Saints' Day.
The pagan customs for the eve of
the feast day were kept, and
eventually the celebration with
spooks, cats and jack-o-lanterns
evolved into our Halloween fes-

predating life.

She emphasizes how astonished
she is with the wealth she enjoys
as compared with the rest of the
world. Her extensive travels to
Africa, India, and Mexico are
probably a great factor, her living
life with this outlook.

Mrs. Seaborn Jones of four
years, alias MissCampbell,enjoys
cooking and sailing when she is
not teaching. But, teaching his-
tory is her true joy, an outlet by
which she feels she is making an
impact on someone,^ and
therefore she isdoing something
to better the situation. She is
aware that her teaching ap-
proach is not always the best and
admits many failures, always
.attempting to stimulate the
student's interest and offer a
challenge in her courses.
After asking some more
questions, I found that:

From a professor's point of
view, Miss Campbell has many
constructive suggestions for
Agnes Scott. She feels that
enlarging the college would help
offer more useful experiences
and intellectual challenges to the
Scott woman. Consequently, this
would widen the number of
qualified prospective students^
increase enrollment while still
maintaining high standards.

After talking with Miss
Campbell, it is easy to
understand her attitudes and
beliefs.

She is even very convincing in
her prophesy for a Kennedy-
Wallace ticket, one of many
political opinions which she
scoffs as "Bar talk." She must
be a great conversationalist, con-
sidering that I sat in her office for
over an hour. When I posed my
last question, "Where would you
like to be right now?" It seemed
so natural for her to say,
"Switzerland, or maybe Kenya,
Africa." Closing her office door,
I felt that I wanted to be there,
too.

Property ID program Course changes may be made
begun by Security

To better serve the campus
community with its overall ob-
jective of personal and property
safety, the Agnes Scott College
Security Department is initiating
a program of property iden-
tification in conjunction with
"Operation Identification/' a
service offered to the residents
of Decatur by the Decatur Police
Department.

The purpose of the program is
to aid in the recovery and return
to the owner of lost or stolen
property. Many times police
departments recover items
which no one claims. These
items are put into storage until
the police department has a
public auction, at which time
they are sold. If these items had
been marked with the owner's
Social Security number and been
recorded in a police file, the pos-
sibility of returning the items to
their owners would have been
increased.

This program will also help a
student identify a particular item
as hers. Many pieces of personal
property are similar or identical

Convocation RC
remains in limbo

to items belonging to other
students. However, if a social
security number is on the
student's property, it can be
properly identified.

An Agnes Scott Security Of-
ficer will come to the student's
room and engrave her social
security number on her
property. At this time the student
fills out a form, making a carbon
copy listing the items marked.
This should take no more than 15
minutes. One copy of the form
will be on file in the Security Of-
fice and the other will go to the
Decatur Police Department.
These will be kept on file until
the student leaves Agnes Scott.
Students may make
arrangements to have a Security
Officer mark personal property
between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 4:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday.

Items that can be marked are
radios, televisions, typewriters,
stereos, and any other items
which can be easily removed and
sold.

Student Government As-
sociation President Janie Sutton
cast her vote in favor of RC 173 at
the Rep Council meeting of
November 4 to make the vote 16
for and 9 against, seemingly
achieving the two-thirds ma-
jority needed to pass the RC. RC
173 would make convocations
mandatory with two cuts allowed
per quarter. Later Rep member
Carol Corbett objected that if
Janie's vote were to be included,
it should count in the total
number of the assembly.

There are 24 voting members
of Rep Council, excluding the
president. An issue requiring a
two-thirds majority approval
would need at least 16 votes in
order to be passed. If the
president's vote were to be in-
cluded in the total number of
voting members, this would in-
crease the number to 25. Two-
thirds of 25 is 16 2/3, which
would be rounded up to 17.

The Rep members and officers
consulted Roberts' Rules of
Orders and found no specific
answer to the question. Sylvia
Foster, treasurer of S.G.A.,
moved that the council drop the

discussion and seek the advice of
authorities who are
knowledgeable in the area of
voting procedures according th
Roberts' Rules of Orders, the
guideline by which Rep
meetings are conducted.

Rep Council will decide at the
next meeting whether RC 173
has passed or been defeated. If
the RC has passed it will go the
Administrative Committee for
approval.

Janie reported that the S.G.A.
Parietals Committee and officers
have met with the Student Affairs
Committee of the Board of
Trustees to discuss RC 172
concerning visitation hours on
Sunday afternoon. The Student
Affairs Committee requested
that a student body meeting be
held to allow students to voice
their opinions on the issue. This
meeting is scheduled to be held
on Thurs., Nov. 13 at 11 :30 a.m. in
Rebekah Reception Room.

The Student Affairs Com-
mittee will meet with students in
the dining hall at 12:30 p.m. on
FrL, Jan. 9 to discuss RC 172. The

Students who wish to make
course or section changes for
winter and spring quarters will
make such changes on Tues. and
Wed., Nov. 11 and 12. All
changes are to be made in the of-
fice of the Dean of the Faculty.
Hours will be as follows: Nov. 11,
1:30-4:30, and Nov. 12, 8:30-
12:30; 1:30-4:30.

A student who wishes to make
a change in her major will obtain
her major card from the regis-
trar's office and will have her ma-
jor professor approve the
change on this card. She will
then take the major card to Miss
Gary, Mrs. Petty or Mrs. Hudson
in order to have the change
entered on the course card

(which will be on file in the Dean
of the Faculty's office).

Freshmen and sophomores
who wish to consult their faculty
advisers before making a course
change are urged to do so in ad-
vance of November 11. They
must then see one of the deans in
order to have the change
authorized on the course card.

It is imperative that all course
changes for the winter quarter
(and the spring quarter, if pos-
sible) be made on November 11
and 12. Textbooks for the winter
quarter will be ordered on the
basis of course enrollment as of
November 12. It is essential that
they be ordered at that time in

order to avoid book delays and
shortages at the beginning of the
winter quarter.

After November 11 and 12, no
course or section changes for the
winter quarter can be made until
the second week of the quarter
(the period January 12-14) except
in the case of those necessitated
by winter quarter failures. These
changes will be made on January
5 (the date set aside for
scheduling).

Students who wish to elect 410
(Special Study) courses are
reminded to read page 31 of the
catalogue for procedure. An ap-
plication for a 410 course can be
obtained from the Registrar.

Music professor interviewed

When I approached Mr.
Mathews about an interview for
The Profile, he questioned flatly,
"Why should The Profile want to
interview me? I've been here for
years." True. But those of you
not connected with the music
department here at Agnes Scott
may not have had the op-
portunity to become acquainted
with Mr. Theodore K. Mathews,
who teaches several music
courses and directs the Glee
Club.

Assisted by Ann Conrad, I
managed to extract from Mr.
Mathews bits and pieces of in-
formation which may or may not
be relevant, but which are
nevertheless generally fas-
cinating. For instance, I'll bet you
didn't know that ...

... Mr. Mathews made his first
appearance in Saginaw,
Michigan, the residence of
power steering.

he attended Brown
University from 1955 to 1959 and
received his undergraduate
degree.

... Mr. Mathews was a talented
clarinet and sax player for his
college band, "The Brunotes".

Jazz debut

... after three months of jazz,
he cut his first recording.

... inside of six months of jazz,
he made his first international
appearance-at a bar in Bermuda.

... his second year of jazz
ended with his first European
tour as a jazz artist; he was a
civilian entertainer for the armed

by Ginny Lee

forces.

... he obtained his Master's
Degree at no less than Harvard
University.

... in his own words, he ex-
plains, "It took me such a long
time to get my doctorate
because I was reluctant to give
up my crimson!"

... Mr. Mathews managed
somehow to remain single until
he was almost thirty.

... he finally gave in and
married in 1967, the same year he
came to ASC.

because Mr. Mathews
developed nodes and polyps on
his vocal chords, a doctor pres-
cribed a period of vocal rest, and
he spent the first two weeks of
his marriage in total silence!

Tent living

... the Mathews' first home was
a tent, used while finding a place
to live in Atlanta.

... Jennifer Louise Mathews,
age four, can print her name.

... Kevin Scott Mathews (no
relation to ASC) is nearly two.

... the Mathews just bought a
house and are in the process of
rebuilding it.

cockroaches find the
Mathews' house a nice place in
which to live and raise families.

... in addition to his duties here
at ASC, Mr. Mathews directs the
choir at North Decatur Pres-
byterian Church.

... North Decatur Presbyterian
Church currently needs an
organist, in case any of you might
be interested.

... Mr. Mathews is currently
researching a course in
American music to be offered
spring quarter.

... in addition to the activities
already mentioned, Mr.
Mathews finds time for tennis,
cycling, the theater, concerts,
and writing papers.

Mr. Mathews thinks Atlanta is
a great city in that it has easy
access to the arts.

On the serious side, Mr.
Mathews admits that he came to
Agnes Scott by mistake. He had
never been south of the Mason-
Dixon line when he was
interviewed for a job here. "You
must have like it," I assumed.

"To the contrary, I hated it,"
he replied. He then related that

1967 on the advice of his
colleagues, who urged him to try

South has treated him well, and
we hope that he hasn't suffered
too much the past eight years.
The only thing that really bothers
him is the night air-it isn't good

Editorial

Student participation

It is very interesting to find that we, the students at Agnes Scott, do
not have a regular input in the major decisions concerning our liberal
arts education. Certainly we may feel free to discuss grades, papers,
tests, and similar matters with our professors but we have no say so
regarding the nature of courses taught here, instructive methods,
quality of professors, etc. . . .At the present time, students may not
attend the curriculum committee meetings where the major
decisions are being made. We must depend solely on our professors
and the ex officio members to determine the depth and direction of
our studies. As members of a college which is geared to the needs of
the individual student, the lack of student input into the curriculum
committee is an affront to our capabilities. We strongly urge that this
committee open up its doors to student ideas, opinions, and beliefs.

It should be a metter of form for the committee to regularly post their
agenda for the upcoming meetings. Perhaps it would be possible for
the Representative Council to regularly ascertain student opinion on
curriculum matters. Following that, Rep Council could assign some
of its members to the curriculum committee so they could present
their findings which would be ranked in terms of priorities. As con-
sumers of an Agnes Scott education we should have an active part in
determining the style of education which can give depth and
directness to our studies.

To the Editor:

Upon reading the column en-
titled "Roses and Thorns" I felt a
strong wave of nausea overcome
me. The idea of dispensing roses
and thorns seems infantile to
begin with. I also resent the fact
that someone's views as to what
is acceptable and what is not is
left anonymous. If anything, this
is a letter to divorce myself from
inclusion in the masses

suggested by an anonymous
letter. However, I could not
believe that an individual pursu-
ing her college education had
the gaul, ignorance and na/V/'te'
to "give a thorn" to James
Yarbrough's exhibit now show-
ing in Dana. To me it is a breath
of fresh air to walk amidst his
paintings, and I am glad they will
be hanging for awhile. An ex-

hibit is one of the most personal
expressions of the self that an
artist can give. The paintings are
not hung expecting mass appeal.

If that were the case, the most
appropriate Dana showing
would consist of blue-eyed
blondes skipping down primrose
paths with the arms laden with
flowers and lollipops. We are
dealing with reality in Mr.
Yarbrough's works. If one can-
not accept his reality as being
valid, show a little courtesy] Last
fall, it was a big step forward for
the Agnes Scott Art Dept. to hire

nude models to pose for the
drawing lab. The attitudes I have
encountered and the opinions I
have heard concerning the art
exhibit suggest to me that a lot of
the students are not mature
enough to handle this progress.

I could easily continue on the
column. The thorn given to Sun-
day night dinners was unwarran-
table. It indicates that indeed we
do have spoied children of af-
fluence living amongst us.

In conclusion, I would like to
make an earnest request that
either this column be abolished
from our student paper, or else
signatures follow each rose and
each thorn. I do not wish to
argue with anonymity, and
boldly I sign me name.

staff.)

Editorial

"Shocking Art"

When the Yarbrough exhibition was bro jght to Agnes Scott, holy
panic ensued. Certain individuals, concerned with their parent's pos-
sible reaction to the exhibit and the "image of the college",
attempted to censor the show. Perhaps if there were less protectors of
the public's morality and more intelligent art viewers, creative ex-
pression would reach new heights of awareness and thrive.

One needn't like the subject matter in order to appreciate its
inherent imaginative qualities. The important consideration in deal-
ing with a work of art is to consider the artist's effective treatment of
the subject and recognize what innovative way he or she has ex-
pressed him or herself. Revolutionary breakthroughs in the language
of art occur when artists are allowed free rein to express the world
they see in a fresh manner.

One needs to back off from personal prejudices in order to ex-
perience in a new light that which he or she is unaccustomed to thin-
king about. The situation (carried beyond Dana's current exhibition)
is a prime example of conventional social taste receiving shock
treatment. While it is true that shock treatments sting, they also cause
a reaction.

The Rope Dancers

Play provides entertainment

by Liz Hornsby

Blackfriars opened its 1975-76
season last Friday with the
Atlanta premiere of Morton
Wishengrad's The Rope
Dancers. The run closes with
tonight's performance.

The Rope Dancers does not
make for a great evening of
theatre, but it is a good produc-
tion in the fullest sense of that
adjective. The play itself, oc-
casionally marred by simplistic
characterization and some
rather heavy-handed symbolism,
is on the whole an intense and
often powerful work. It depicts
the estrangement of Margaret

and James Hyland, a turn-of-the-
century Irish-American couple,
and the damagingly uncertain
position of their young,
physically-deformed daughter
Lizzie, caught between them,
with compassion and frequent
insight.

The cast (Carole Langston,
Elaine William, and Harold Hall
as principles, with Lynn Summer
and Jasper Julsey in the main
supporting roles) is, like the play,
good despite some flawed
moments. The acting brings the
story to life without letting it
disintegrate into melodrama, a

descent also prevented by
competent direction (Elvena M.
Green). And as one has come to
expect of Blackfriars, sets and
staging (supervised by Bill Evans)
add immeasurably to the
production.

Blackfriars merits special
praise in another area, too: for
beginning its bicentennial salute
to American drama with a
challenging, relatively unknown
play rather than some tried-and-
true chestnut. The Rope Dancers
shows an admirable ambition
and is a solid piece of work.

Dance company to perform

Agnes Scott students and
other interested persons will
have a unique opportunity to
learn about and enjoy the
modern dance style of the
Murray Louis Dance Company
on Thursday, November 13. The
internationally famous company
will present a free, public lec-
ture/demonstration at 8:15 p.m.
in Presser Hall on the Agnes Scott
campus. Following the lec-
ture/demonstration, there will
be a reception for the dancers
and the audience in Rebekah
Reception room.

The Murray Louis Dance Com-
pany is in Atlanta for
performances on the evenings of
November 14 and 15 at the
Peachtree Playhouse. The
performances are sponsored by
Dance Atlanta, a joint program
of the Atlanta Arts Alliance and
Georgia State University.

On Friday evening the com-
pany will perform works from
the repertory, and on Saturday
the full-length work
"Scheherezade'"' will be
presented. Tobi Tobias, writing
for "Dance Magazine" (April,
1974), said of "Scheherezade":
"It demanded such intense, sus-
tained concentration, which it
lavishly repaid, both instantly, in
the moment of performance,

and in subsequent recontem-
plation; ... it displayed so many
forms of subtle kinetic bravura,
that for hours afterward I
couldn't speak, couldn't think."
Both performances begin at 8:00
p.m., tickets are available at the
Memorial Arts Center box office,
892-2414.

Mr. Louis recently
choreographed a new work for
Rudolf Nureyev which will have
its American premiere on
November 18 at the opening of
the two-week Fonteyn and
Nureyev season at the Uris
Theatre in New York City. The
work, entitled "Moment," is for
five male dancers, to music of
Maurice Ravel. Mr. Nureyev has
already danced the work
successfully in Madrid, Spain
with dancers of the Scottish
Ballet. Four dancers of the
Murray Louis Company will
perform with Mr. Nureyev in
New York.

Murray Louis' dance
background is closely tied to the
history of New York's Henry
Street Settlement Playhouse and
Alwin Nikolais. A student and
disciple of Nikolais', Louis has
been involved with the
choreographer's Henry Street
company as dancer,
choreographer and staff

member since its beginning in
1951. In 1969 Louis and a small
group of dancers separated from
the Nikolais company in order to
explore new ideas. The resulting
Murray Lewis Dance Company
has been acclaimed both abroad
and in the United States for its
quality and originality.

Mr. Louis' style was influenced
by his studies with Alwin Nikolais
and Hanya Holm, disciples of the
German modern dance pioneer
Mary Wigman. This style is
concerned with the kinetic pos-
sibilities of the human body as it
relates to motion, time and
space, and is independant of the
strict technique associated with
the classical ballet and some
modern dance styles. Mr. Louis'
choreography is known for its
kinetic humor, contrasts and
surprises in movement and
rhythm, and its sensitivity to the
environment. He has won two
Guggenheim Fellowships and six
commission grants form the
National Endowment for the Arts
for his choreography.

Channel 8 presents

Mortar Board goes co-ed

Delegates from the 167
chapters of Mortar Board met
October 17 through October 19
in Kansas City, Missouri, in an
emergency meeting to decide
what action the national
organization would make in
regard to Title IX of the
Educational Amendments of
1972. These amendments, which
became inforceable July 21, 1975,

state that no institution receiving
federal financial assistance may
recognize an organization that
discriminates against anyone on
the basis of sex. Mortar Board has
always been a woman's honor
society and was thus directly
affected by the amendments.
The convention decided almost
unanimously to consider men
for membership.

The delegate considered

Parietals Committee may meet
with the dorms to discuss the is-
sue, according the Janie.

A parents' division of funds
consisting of $500-$2500 will be
designated for a specific cause.
Janie asked that Rep members
make suggestions of things for
which the money could be ap-
propriated. Rep members
suggested that the money be
spent on resurfacing the tennis
courts or on lights for the tennis
courts. Other suggestions may
be made to Rep members or
directly to Paul McCain, vice-
president of development.

The Dean of Faculty's office is
considering changing the class
schedules of Tuesday and Thurs-
day classes in order to lighten the
class load on these days. The
Dean's office believes that this
will encourage students to take
more Tuesday - Thursday classes
and balance their class loads. The
proposed changes will establish
class times of 8 :30 a.m. -9:45 p.m.,
10:30 a.m. -11:45 a.m., 12:10
p.m. -1:25 p.m. and 2:10 p.m.-
3:25 p.m. There will be no chapel
times on Tuesday or Thursday
under the proposed changes. CA
chapels which are normally held
on Tuesdays, will be held on
Fridays, and S.G.A. meetings,
which are usually held on
Thursdays, will be held on Mon-
days when no class meetings are
scheduled.

Any student opinions on this
proposed change should be
directed to the Dean of Faculty's
office.

that music is not difficult for
people who have to be
musicians; it is an inherent part
of their being. For instance, he

press themselves. In the same
way, I think that music is
inherently a part of Mr.
Mathews.

alternatives which ranged from
challenging the ruling in court to
disbanding Mortar Board
nationally. Financial reasons
eliminated the former. The case
would almost certainly end
up in the Supreme Court after
being heard in the lower courts.

Many of the Mortar Board
Chapters were under great pres-
sure from the universities or
colleges with which they were
associated to admit males. These
schools were being threatened
with loss of all federal funding.

In voting to allow male
membership, Mortar Board reaf-
firmed that it will maintain its
membership requirements
which are based on scholarship,
leadership and service. C. J.
Beysselance, Agnes Scott's
delegate to the convention and

president of the college's
chapter, agrees with the decision
made in Kansas City. She stated
that, in view of the pressure on
men's organization to admit
women, the decision was the
"only reasonable" one.

Although it does not affect
Agnes Scott directly, the
resolution does affect the
character of the national
organization of which Agnes
Scott's chapter is a part. It is an
honor for a campus to be
allowed to have a chapter of
Mortar Baord. Agnes Scott's own
honor society was incorporated

into the national organization in
1931. The regularly scheduled
convention in the summer of
1976 will evaluate the situation
and make any further decisions
based on that evaluation.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030-

November 14, 1975

College housing report nears completion

The business office is now in
the process of finishing a report
on college housing, which will
be presented to the Buildings
andGroundsCommitteeand the
Board of Trustees to enable them
to discuss the present policies
and the possible changes jn
them.

At the present time Agnes
Scott owns 93 houses; a total of
103 rental units when including
married student housing, some
of which contain two
apartments. Sixty percent of the
houses are occupied by em-
ployees of the college; 10% are
inhabited by married students;
and the remaining 30% are
rented by people outside the
Agnes Scott community.

Augustus B. Cochran, III, as-
sistant professor of political
science, takes a positive view of
the housing situation. The
availability of subsidized living
for those who want to be near
the college, he sees as a definite
fringe benefit.

Thomas Simpson, assistant
professor of biology, says that
the housing situation has im-
proved tremendously. He found
the "biggest hassle" in the past to
be the "lack of priorities." The
allocation of houses was not con-
tingent on the size of the family,
but on whether one had connec-
tions in the housing department.
However since the advent of Mr.
Hug and Mr. Henderson this has

changed. Improvements could
be made, but as Mr. Simpson
said, "you. ..you look at what
you're paying, and you accept
it." He suggests the possibility, in
long-range terms, of the faculty
buying the houses or of there be-
ing a faculty condominium,
which would be easier to main-
tain.

Robert Miller, assistant profes-
sor of psychology, has lived in
two houses. He was very happy
with the rent for his first house,
but the house itself left much to
be desired. The business office
was sympathetic, and in April he
moved into a different house
and has had no problems.

David Orr, associate professor

of political science, believes that
it would be beneficial if the
college would sell eitherthe land
of houses to faculty with the op-
tion of buying the house back.

There is some community feel-
ing against the college because
of the fact that houses are not
well kept when they are vacant.
There is also bad feeling on the
part of the community because
thte houses are exempt from
local taxes.

R. James Henderson, vice-
president of business affairs, ad-
mits he is not happy with the
housing situation, but stresses
that a program of allowing
faculty members to buy houses
would be unfeasable. The house

and land would cost around
$25000, and with monthly
mortgage, payments, taxes and
insurance the costs would rise
dramatically.

The Board of Trustees started
buying property because they
wanted to control the land
surrounding the college and not
with the intention of getting into
the real estate business. Last year
six houses were torn down. They
had deteriorated and would
have cost a great deal to
renovate. It was decided not to
attempt the renovation because
Agnes Scott is in the busoness of
education, not in the field of real
estate.

Mother and daughter Convocation RC defeated

team up at Scott

Relatively few people on cam
pus probably realize that there is
a senior here whose mother is a
freshman. The senior is Nancy
Hopkins and her mother is
freshman Catherine Mitchell.

Nancy was accepted at Agnes
Scott on the early decision plan
in 1972. She is married now and a
senior double majoring in
English and French. She
persuaded her mother to come
to Agnes Scott as a non-
traditional student this year and
says that she mainly encounters
"disbelief" when she mentions
the fact that her mother is a
freshman.

Mrs. Mitchell says that she
always wanted to go to college

and after her daughter
persuaded her she enrolled

here. She is, at present, taking
Freshman English which she
finds hard 34 years after high
school. She also reports that
she's learning a lot about the
youth of today being in class with
them, which she much prefers to
having separate Adult Education
classes. Here Nancy also said that
hiving non-traditional students
in class is also beneficial to
"traditional" students, letting
them hear views and opinions
differing from their own.

So far, they both say, there
have been few mix-ups.
However, since Mrs. Mitchell's
English professor had her
daughter as a student before her
he gets confused and now calls
them both "Mrs. Mitchell."

President Janie Sutton an-
nounced in the November 11
meeting of Rep Council that RC
173 concerning mandatory con-
vocations had been passed by
Rep last week. This decision was
the result of talking with
authorities on parliamentary
procedure who said that Janie's
vote cast in favor of the RC must
be counted in the total, of which

a two-thirds majority was
needed Seventeen votes were
needed to pass the RC, but it
received only 16, including
Janie's vote. The decision as to
whether or not the RC had been
passed was deferred until
November 11 in order to seek
professional advice.

Rep Council will vote next
week on RC 174. RC 174 is a
revised version of RC 172; the
revision is an addition which
states that "each hall in each
dorm will vote at the beginning

of each quarter about male
visitation on Sundays, and a ma-
jority vote will result in having
male guests visit on Sundays."

Sherry Druary, vice-president of
Student Government As-
sociation, suggested that this
voting may cause enmity among
the students. If RC 174 fails RC
172 will still stand, and if RC 174
passes, President Marvin B. Perry
will decide whether or not it
should then be submitted to the
Administrative Committee and
the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees.

Martha Huntington, Dean of
Students, discussed the Long
Range Planning Committee with
the Council. Any suggestions
about additions or im-
provements to the campus
should be submitted to Rep
members or to Dean Hun-
tington.

RC 172 stated that man will be
allowed to visit in a student's
room on Sunday afternoons
from 1 :30 p.m. to 5 p.m. with the
following stipulations:

1) A student must sign her
guest in and accompany him to
and from the lobby. No male
may come to a room unescorted;
he must call for a student from
the lobby.

2) Men must use the men's res-
trooms in the dorms. (Inman will
have to make some concession
since it does not have facilities
for men.)

3) Male guests must abide by
all our policies in regard to
alcohol, drugs, fire drills, quiet,
etc. It is the responsibility of the
student to inform her guests of
these policies.

4) Violation of any rule would
result in an automatic Dormitory
Council case.

Library announces contest to name computer

The Library Committee an-
nounces a contest to take place
in winter quarter to name its very
courteous and knowledgeable
newest addition a computer.
The rules of the contest and its
prize will be in the first Profile of
winter quarter. Meanwhile,
times will be arranged with the
catalogue librarian, Dawn
Lamade, for her to help the
students get to know this bright

and miniscule "creature."

The computer is a great aid in
the interlibrary loan system in
that it can immediately locate
libraries which have a particular
book. In addition, cards for new
books which the library receives
are ordered right away and
gotten within ten days. (The old
Library of Congress method took
from six to eight weeks.) The
cards can be changed to suit our

particular library while ordering
on the computer and come here
already alphabetized, containing
all the necessary information.

Telephone lines transmit in-
formation from this unit to a data
base in Ohio to which the unit is
hooked. The Agnes Scott Library
is a part of Solinet (Southeastern
Library Association), a group of
southeastern libraries based in
Atlanta using the same data base.

Fifteen other networks, in-
cluding 670 other libraries, are
also hooked to this Ohio data
base.

This service hopes to expand
in the future. Not only does
Solinet hope to eventually get its
own data base, but a
development of a way to order
through the terminal books for
interlibrary loan as well as a way
to search for books according to

subject (which may one day
replace the card catalogue) are
also in the offing. Right now, a
book may be found by its author
and/or title.

Among the members of the
University Center who have
computer terminals like our
friend are Emory, Georgia State,
Georgia Tech, and the University
of Georgia.

Editorial

Exams

There is a very real danger that self-scheduled examinations at Agnes
Scott College may be abolished after this quarter. This movement
would deprive students of a luxurious privilege they have enjoyed
perhaps frivously, the right to take an exam when they feel prepared.
If self-scheduled exams are done away with, it will be a great loss of
freedom to individual students, but more importantly, it will be an in-
dication of a weakening of the Honor Code.

The responsibility of preserving our present exam practices lies with
both the students and the faculty. Students must not, under any
circumstances, discuss any exam, whether scheduled or self-
scheduled, that they have taken, before 4:30 p.m. on Tues., Nov. 25.
To do so is to assist in depriving not only themselves, but others, of
the opportunities available to honorable students. Faculty members
musf remind students not to discuss even scheduled exams.

In order to preserve the self-scheduled exam system, it is imperative
that strict silence be observed concerning all exams, both scheduled
and self-scheduled, during the exam period.

To the Editor:

I have often wondered if ASC
could not become a truly great
college and an innovative leader
in higher education if it strove to
achieve greater strength not only
in its Liberal Arts programs, but
also in its programs for

vocational guidance and training
and in its programs designed to
facilitate psychological and
emotional growth. Traditionally,
ASC has valued the concept of
the development of the whole
person. An imaginative rethin-
king of the major purposes and

attempted to assassinate
President Ford when he visited

September 5, has changed her
plea back to innocent after her
attempt to plead no-contest was
rejected by her trial judge. A no-
contest plea is the equivalent of
accepting a conviction without
admitting guilt.

President Ford has nominated
George Bush, the U.S. envoy to
Peking, to be director of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
Donald Runsfeld, a former U.S.

will handle the daily duties of
briefing Mr. Ford as White
House national security adviser.

In what is being called the White

The Madman and the Nun

Direction makes Madman tick

by Anicia Lane

Amazing, the amount of
creative mileage that can be ex-
tracted from a limited area. Case
in point is the Open City Theatre,
1062 St. Charles Ave., N. E.
(behind Harrison's Coin Laundry
off N. Highland Ave.) which is a
treasure hunt to find and well
worth the effort.

"The Madman and the Nun"
by S. I. Witkiewicz, is Open City's
second offering since their
inception last summer. It is a
strange play, one that goes
beyond absurd, surpasses
surreal, and lands with all four
feet into the realm of the sarcas-
tic. Nothing is sacred. Not the

church (especially, not nuns),
not psychiatry (they're all nuttier
than the Madman, himself, and
he's barely hanging in by the
thread of his straight-jacket), and
certainly not sex.

The setting is stark: black and
white with shades of grey, and
takes place in the Madman's cell
block. The deliberately con-
trolled black-and-whiteness of
the set catches the audience off-
guard, expecting a heavy,
morose drama and getting,
instead, a black-white-grey
comedy of errors/drama of in-
sight into what makes a Madman
tick (besides a tiny clock he
keeps referring to in his head).

Timing is of the utmost im-
portance in a play such as this,
which relies heavily on rapid-fire
pacing and details of
characterization to get its points
across, to deliver the final crun-
ch. The timing in Director, Ron
Lampkin's production, is almost
desperate a rush to break out,
be free at last from the restraints
of the cell and the self. The Mad-
man tries desparately to break
out of the insane asylum while

the Nun cluthces at the Madman
in hopes of liberating herself
from the confines fe the
religious order. It is a circus, a
sideshow of freaks where no one
is "sane" and where the fine line
between sanity and insanity is
frighteningly sketchy. The effect
produced is a 16 mm horror flick
with cuts from the Keystone
Cops. Throw in a bit of touch-
football and you have "The Mad-
man and the Nun".

Praise goes to Charli Sirmans's
portrayal of Sister Barbara's
brashy over-bearing
Religiousness and Chris Boada's
Dr. Grun, a psychiatrist who
would do well to analyze himself
and leave the "nuts" alone.

"The Madman and the Nun"
continues until November 30 at
8:30 p.m. Reservations may be
made by calling 892-0182. All
seats are $2.

Tchaikovsky book praised

Theatre

by Peggy Lamberson

To those familar with
Tchaikovsky and what has been
written about him, the title may
be a bit misleading: Tchaikovsky,
A Self-Portrait. The first question
which presents itself is,
"Tchaikovsky never wrote a self-
portrait, did he?" Strictly
speaking, he did not, but in
another sense he wrote a very
special one. Since the composer
never intended his diaries and
correspondence for publication,
they were written in a more
personal, spontaneous style than
a formal autobiography would
ever hope to capture. By using
extensive quotations from the
writings of Tchaikovsky and his
intimates, Vladimir Volkoff is
able to conjure up the illusion of
an autobiography, which, in this

case, is of immeasureable value.

Although the composer lived
little more than 100 years ago,
and in a civilized country, his life
has been less carefully
documented than that of aus-
tralopithicus. He has been mis-
translated, misinterpreted, and
misunderstood; he has been
alternately slandered and
praised to ridiculous extremes.
By allowing Tchaikovsky to speak
for himself, Mr. Volkoff is able to
provide an answer to many ques-
tions which have been in the
midst of argument, and to leave
unanswered those questions
whose -answers died with the
composer. Most importantly,
this is the first biography to give
us an impression of Tchaikovsky
as a completely believeable

human being.

It has been said that no one
could write an entirely objective
biography. Well, this is not the
book to disprove that statement.
Partiality is obviously present,
but the author is either
genuinely artless in his bias, or so
sly as to make himself appear to
be. In any case, his desire to
present Tchaikovsky in a
favorable light, and his continual
faults attractive, either by
appealing on the grounds of the
composer's humanity (which is
an easily plucked chord in almost
everyone), or by attributing his
eccentricities to artistic

Art works a at The Art Works

by Liz Hornsby

As of this writing, the new
movies in town look about as
appealing as a plate of cold
mashed potatoes with
congealed gravy. On the other
hand, a new art gallery in town is
very appealing indeed. Granted,
the plot isn't much, but the cast
of The Art Works is strictly first-
rate. Over twenty local artists
and craftsmen, including Robert

and Patricia Westervelt and
Agnes Scott alumnae M. A.
Bleker, Kay Teien, and Betsey
Wall, are featured; they work in a
variety of media, from pottery to
stained glass, and in a variety of
styles, making The Art Works a
place with something for
everybody. It is also interesting
as a combination studio/gallery,
with many of the works
produced on the premises and

visitors cordially invited to wat-
ch.

Another notable feature of
The Art Works is the pricing:
personal or Christmas shopping
there need not spell disaster for
an average budget. Prices begin
at three or four dollars (rising
into the hundreds) and are, on

Marburg summer study
to be held in 76

The German department of
Agnes Scott will hold its 1976
summer program in Marburg.
Marburg is a university city
located in the center of Western
Germany, about sixty miles north
of Frankfurt.

The program, which lasts from
June 18 through July 31, is open
only to students who have had at
least German 01 or the
equivalent. Students from other
colleges who meet this re-
quirement are welcome to ap-
ply. The 1976 summer program is
unique from the programs held
in 1971 and 1974 because an op-
tional field trip to Berlin, Prague,
Vienna, and Munich will be
offered during the first ten days
of August. This field trip is com-
pletely separate from the
academic program and is open
to interested students.

The cost of the program is ap-
proximately $1,250 for the six-
week session. This includes tran-
satlantic transportation, tuition,
room, and full board, short field
trips, and several cultural events.
The ten day tour will come to ap-
proximately $250 per student.
Figures are estimates as the
definite cost will depend on the
number of participants, rate of
inflation, and rate of currency
exchange.

Tchaikovsky

every comment. He even
manages to make Tchaikovsky's

protestations that his purpose is
not to present him in any light
save that of truth, makes for a
charming contradiction. One
has to smile every time that he
reminds us of how objective he is
being, when in reality he is not
so-subtly shading practically

temperament. Fortunately, the
narrative is not so colored as to
cloud once again the already
foggy image that history has
provided for Tchaikovsky.

Tchaikovsky. A Self -Portrait
makes for enjoyable reading,
particularly for those who have
suffered through one or more
previous Tchaikovsky
biographies. The prose style is
disarmingly casual, and the

quotations are used intelligently
and to good effect. This is
certainly not the most exciting
book ever written about
Tchaikovsky that dubious
honor goes to one of the more
scandal-oriented biographies
but it is clearly the most honest.
Anyone who has ever desired a
peek at the truth about this uni-
que man will find this book to be
cause for rejoicing.

Five German courses are being
offered by the summer program.
A maximum of 10 hours may be
taken by the participants.
Students may enroll in German
101SG, a 9 hour intermediate
course for students having com-
pleted German 01 or the
equivalent. German 211 SG, the
introduction to German
Literature, is a six hour course for
students having completed
German 101. Students taking this
course to satisfy the re-
quirements for a major in
German or for literature must
enroll in German 212 during the
fall quarter of the regular
1976/1977 session. German
213SG, German Civilization, is a
three quarter hour course for
students having completed
German 101. This course will in-
clude brief field trips and visits to
places of special interest in
Marburg. German 350 SG, Ad-
vanced Reading, is a five quarter
hour course for students having
completed German 201. German
200SG, German Phonetics, is a
one quarter hour course offered
to students only above the
intermediate level.

Students interested in the six-
week session and/or the 11 day
field trip are urged to contact
Mr. Bicknese, Chairman of the
German department at ext. 266.

Focus on Faith

Christian leaders come to Agnes Scott

A coming attraction for the
week of January 18-22 will be the
Christian Association's Focus on

be centered on the theme: "A
Christian Woman in Today's
World." Two Christian leaders

In 1958 Mrs. Elliot (by her late
first husband) went to live with
the Auca tribe in Ecuador where
her first husband was killed while
proselytizing. While there, Mrs.
Elliot worked on reducing the
Auca language to writing and on
a translation of the Bible into the
newly developed written
language.

After her return to the United
States, Mrs. Elliot married Ad-

dison H. Leitch who died in 1973.
Presently, she is a Visiting Profes-
sor at Gordon-Con well
Theological Seminary in
Hamilton, Massachusetts.

Among her books are Through
Gates of Splendor, Shadow of
the Almighty, and Let Me Be a
Woman. Some of these books
are now available in the Agnes
Scott bookstore.

The Reverend Albert Curry
Winn born in Ocala, Florida, has
received bachelors and masters
degrees from Davidson College,
Union Theological Seminary,
and a Th.D. degree from Union
Theological Seminary.

He has served as a Christian in
many varied capacities: Chaplain
in the United States Navy;
Professor at Davidson College,

Presbyterian Theological
Seminary; Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of Stillman
College; President of Louisville
Presbyterian Theological
Seminary; Pastor of Potomac
Rural Parish, Virginia, Moderator

sions, Presbyterian Church in the

Charles A. Dana dies

Dr. Charles Anderson Dana, a
noted philanthropist, died
Thurs., Nov. 27, 1975 at the age of
94.

Dr. Dana was the founder of
the Charles A. Dana Scholars
Program and the Charles A. Dana
Professorships. His generosity
also made possible the construc-
tion of the Charles A Dana Fine
Arts Building.

Through the Charles A. Dana
Foundation, Inc., a philanthropic
organization which he es-
tablished, Dr. Dana expressed his
interest in education by setting
up funds for endowments,
scholarships and buildings and
equipmentfor many educational
institutions.

He began his career as a lawyer
and served three terms as a
member of the state legislature
of New York. He entered the
business world through
supervising the reorganization
of the Spicer Manufacturing

Company, which in 1946 was re-
named the Dana Corporation
one of the nation's leading
manufacturers of automobile
spare parts. He was chairman of
the Board of Directors of this
corporation. Dr. Dana was active
in other business enterprises
also, serving as president and
trustee of the Coralitos Com-
pany and as director of the
Manufacturers Trust Company
of New York City, the Kelsey
Hayes Company and the Curtiss-
Wright Corporation.

Dr. Dana was born in New
York City on April 25, 1881. He
received his bachelor of arts
degree from Columbia
University in 1902 and his M.A.
degree in 1904 from the same
university. He was awarded an
honorary degree of doctor of
laws by Columbia University in

Rep appoints
committee on food

Dr. Charles A. Dana

At the January 13th meeting of

pointed the task of studying the
possibilities of writing a
recommendation suggesting
that the food served in the dining

drawn up by Rep and submitted
to the Board of Trustees.

Bicentennial Committee of
Atlanta is asking for volunteers to
teach illiterate adults to read. A
volunteer schedules one hour of
her time per week for this
program. The tutoring is done on
a one to one basis.

of G-PIRG is working to clean up
a stream that runs through Avon-

Mediocrity in the Arts

The stated purpose of The Arts Council of Agnes Scott College is to
"encourage creative participation and to unify all fine arts groups on
campus." The disgraceful disunity of the fine arts at Scott makes it ob-
vious that the function of Arts Council is not being met.

To hold the Arts Council, or any group, responsible for this
problem would accomplish less than nothing. It is irrelevant who or
what brought about the present situation, in which the different artis-
tic groups exist almost entirely separate from each other. But it isour
responsibility to make an effort to improve the situation now that it
has been realized.

Greater unification of the arts would be to the advantage of all.
Trained dancers and musicians should be available for Blackfriars'
musical productions. Likewise, Dance Group should not have to
depend on tapes or off-campus groups for musical accompaniment.
Art students, already helping with some Blackfriars publicity, could
expand to take in the other organizations, and thereby gain ex-
perience in commercial art. There are numerous other possibilities
which could become realities with some effort and co-operation
from those involved or interested persons on campus.

The co-operation of the faculty members of the various fine art
departments will be the key to success. The first step will have to be
simple consideration. If any opportunity arises in one department
which could involve another, it is up to the faculty to let each other
know what the possibilities are. The students will have the res-
ponsibility of supporting any efforts at unification by involving
themselves in these joint projects. If Agnes Scott is ever to rise above
mediocrity in the arts, we must join together to do so.

News Clips

by Frances Wickes
The Atlanta Journal reports
that Jimmy Carter of Georgia is
almost certain to be on the
National Democratic ticket next
year. Carter has displayed the
broadest appeal of anyone else
in the presidential race.

Premier Chou En-Lai of China
died last week of cancer at the
age of 78. He was the chief
lieutenant of Chairman MaoTse-
tung. The Premier's death will
probably not have an immediate
effect on Peking's relations with
the U.S.

The Federal Aviation As-
sociation (FAA) is seeking to
thwart further airport bombings.
Possibilities being considered by
a government-industry task
force include: eliminating public
lockers where bombs can be
stashed, closer police
surveillance, and better detec-

tors to stop explosives in
baggage.

The National Union for the
Total Independence of Angola
(UNITA) states that 500 more
Soviety military persons arrived
in Angola last week to partake in
the civil war.

In 1975, the natin's unem-
ployment rate rose from 5.6 per
cent in 1974 to 8.5 per cent in
1975. This is the highest annual
rate since 1941.

The Man Who Would Be King

Kipling plus Huston equals success

by Liz Hornsby

John Huston surpasses his own
classic Treasure of the Sierra
Madre with his film of Rudyard
Kipling's The Man Who Would
Be King. It is both more exciting,
entertainment-wise, and more
subtle thematically, a picture not
to be missed.

The story recounts the rise and
fall of Danny Dravot (Sean
Connery) and Peachy Carnahan
(Michael Caine), two brash
soldiers formerly of the British
army, now of fortune. Their style
cramped in Victorian India, they

decide to take over the remote
country of Kafiristan. And they
succeed, first with the aid of rifles
and later by exploiting the
populace's belief that Danny is a
promised god-king awaited for
centuries.

The level-headed Peachy
wants to take the royal treasury
and run, but Danny, blinded by
delusions of destiny, empire, and
dynasty, wants to stay. His over-
reaching at length undoes him,
triggering his exposure as a
mortal. He dies at the hands of

Locust Hill called
truly delightful

by

Harriet Higgins,
Administrative Intern

LOCUST HILL, Mary Wallace
Kirk's book about her family
homestead in Tuscumbia,
Alabama, is a precious and
tender narrative. Graced by the
author's original etchings of
Southern scenes, this book
reflects the timely, almost
organized attraction that Miss
Kirk's family felt towards Locust

Hill. It matters very little that the
charm and dignity of the
Southern homesteads still exists
today. What does matter is that
because these things were im-
portant in the 19th Century, an
appreciation for a certain es-
thetic beauty was established
and overflows from every page
of Miss Kirk's book a nostalgia,
it seems to me, that constitutes
the essence of this truly
delightful work.

outraged natives, and Peachy,
who had delayed his departure
at his friend's request, is brutally
punished as an accomplice,
barely surviving to return and tell
the tale.

Script and direction are ex-
cellent, and the location footage
is used with tremendous effect.
The acting is also top drawer.
Connery and Caine strike a fine
balance between their
characters' roguishness,
amorality, and avarice and their
dignity, courage, and capacity
for friendship. Connery 's is clear
the starring role, and he plays
it to the hilt with a wonderful
energy and charm. But Caine,
who portrays the wiser Peachy
with quiet skill, steals the show in
the last couple of scenes, and
ultimately the film is his. As it
concludes, there is far more than
meets the eye in the broken, lim-
ping figure of the now only
partly sane Peachy: he still knows
that Danny's error in judgement
was much more serious than an
over-estimation of the natives'
gullibility. Thus Caine almost
single-handedly shifts the
tragedy in the film from mere
plot-line into real and human
depths.

University of Illinois before com-
ing to Agnes Scott. He pursues
scholarly interests in the history
of American popular music and
art music of the 19th and 20th
centuries.

Meli Kaye teaches mime

Agnes Scott students are
currently participating in a series
of three mime workshops being
taught on campus by Mrs. Meli
Davis Kaye. Mrs. Kaye, a native of
Atlanta, is the director and
choreographer of Company
Kaye, a troupe which blends
mime and dance.

Meli Kaye has studied with
such dance luminaries as Doris
Humphrey, Jose Limon, Hanya
Holm, Alwin Nikolais, Merce

Cunningham, and Martha
Graham in modern dance, and
Agnes de Mille and Antony
Tudor in ballet. She has studied
mime with Marcel Marceau,
Jacques LeCoq, and Louise Gif-
ford.

The present series of
workshops are not the first that
Mrs. Kaye has taught at Scott. She
has also taught at Georgia State
University, Emory, and in many
other schools and companies.

In the first workshop of this
series the emphasis was on im-
provisation within the
framework of basic mime prin-
ciples. The workshops are being
held on Friday afternoons at 3:45
in Winter Theatre. Students

participating are expected to
attend all three sessions. A
concert by Company Kaye:,
which may possibly include
some Scott students, will coa-
clude the series.

Library sponsors contest

The library is sponsoring a
contest to find the best name for
its newly-acquired and
personable little computer.
Anyone (students, faculty, staff,
etc.) may enter and the winner
will receive a ten-dollar cash
prize. The contest ends Jan. 31.
Entry blanks are available at the
terminal, and when filled out, go
in the Q 2 C suggestion box near
the front desk in the library.

All who "know" thecomputer
marvel at its very polite and
intelligent personality.
Therefore, in order to give
contestants a chance to become
acquainted with it, the library has

set up certain hours in which the
computer will be demonstrated.
The dates are: Tues., Jan. 20 from
11:30-12:30; Wed., Jan. 21 from
3.30-5:00; FrL, Jan. 23 from
11:30-12:30 ; and Tues., Jan. 27
from 11:30-12:30.

The computer will answer to a
greeting of either a social
security number or a series of
zeroes. It not only tells which
libraries have cards for certain
books as well as knowing all the
bibliographical information
about those books, but the com-
puter will also know a book by its
author, title, Library of Congress
number, or ISBN number.

Bicentennial exhibit

Island.

According to the exhibit
brochure published by the
Georgia Archives Traveling Ex-
hibit Service, smugglers played a
major role in colonial Georgia.
The colonists, seeking financial
relief from heavy taxation im-
posed by England, bought duty-
free smuggled goods from illicit
traders. Prior to the settlement of
Georgia in 1733, the uninhabited
Georgia coastline was a refuge
for priates operating on the
nearby Atlantic trade routes.

Moments Remembered

(Editor's note: In keeping
with the current national fad
of nostalgia the Profile will
present a brief moment from
the history of Agnes Scott
every week.)

The AGNOSTIC sponsored
a spring style show of hand-
knit fashions from Davison-
Paxon on the evening of
Thursday, January 9, in
Bucher Scott Gymnasium.
Ellen Davis announced the
opening of the program. As
the models displayed the
styles, Miss Helen Otten,
Davison's New York fashion
expert, described the
different gowns, explaining
the cost and method of mak-
ing them. The six girls who
displayed the gowns were
Virginia Turner, Naomi
Cooper, Catherine Ricks,
Elizabeth Strickland,
Katherine Bishop, and Max-
ine Crisler.

Particular features of these
spring styles are clear, bright
colors, smart simplicity, large
broad-brimmed hats, and
skirts decidedly shorter than
before. Miss Otten laid
particular emphasis on the
accessories, most of which
were white or brown. All the
styles were for street or
afternoon wear except the
last, a charming black
crocheted evening dress.

At the end of the program
Ellen Davis announced that
Davison's will sponsor a knit-
ting and crocheting class on
the campus every Thursday
night.

During the show, music was
supplyed by an orchestra con-
sisting of Ruby Hutton, piano;
violins, Miss Florence Smith,
Mrs. Henry Robinson, Anna
Katherine Fulton, and Phyllis
Johnson.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030-

January 23, 1976

Petitions circulated

Professors and students react to Miller decision

The contract of Robert S.
Miller will not be renewed for
the 1976-77 school year. Mr.
Miller, a member of the
psychology department, joined
the faculty in the fall of 1974. He

was informed in November of
1975 that his services would not
be required in the upcoming ses-
sion.

Mr. Miller has not been satis-
fied with the explanations given
him and has asked for a review of
the decision. The chairman of
the department, Miriam K.
Drucker, has refused to
comment on the issue, stating
that it would be unethical for her
to do so.

The decision of the ad-
ministration not to renew Mr.
Miller's contract has evoked
considerable response from
both the faculty and the
students. Some professors have
stated that they do not believe
they have been given a concrete
explanation as to why the con-
tract will not be renewed.

In response to the reasons
given him concerning the Miller
decision, that Mr. Miller was not
the best person for the job and
that Mr. Miller was not happy,
one professor asserts: "Every
member on this faculty can do

better and no professor can be
happy his first year of teaching.
It's a very hard emotional time. I
happen to think he's a good

teacher. I've seen him interac-
ting with his students."

Another professor expresses
his concern about the rights of
his fellow untenured professors
in the present tight job market.
He further states that he has
become more reluctant to speak
out candidly about the college.
One professor has refused to
grant a faculty interview to the
Profile. He insists that it is no
longer "healthy" for untenured
professors to talk openly about
the school. He added that he
would expect a "possible
retaliation" from the ad-
ministration if he spoke can-
didly."

On the other hand, one

French professor retires

Miss Chloe Steel, professor of
French, is retiring as of June,
1976. Born in Union City,
Tennessee, she graduated from
Randolph-Macon Woman's
College in 1927 and later
received her M.A. and Ph.D.
from the University of Chicago.

In addition, she has been
awarded as an alumnae member
of Phi Beta Kappa at Randolph-
Macon College. She belongs to a
number of teaching associations
including the American As-
sociation of University Profes-
sors, Modern Langugage As-

sociation, and American As-
sociation of Teachers of French.
Miss Steel has taught in several
public high schools and
colleges; among these are
Mansfield College in Mansfield,
Louisiana, and Texas State
College for Women in Denton,
Texas. She came to Agnes Scott
in 1955 and since has taught
French at every level. She has
also distinguished herself by
participating on several of the
college's major committees.

The college has established
the "Chide Steel Visiting Fund."

The interest on the $2000. will ac-
cumulate for several years and
then be used to supplement a
college expenditure in order
that an outside professor may be
invited to teach one quarter or
longer in the French
Department.

A dinner will be held in Miss
Steel's honor during Alumnae
Weekend on Friday, April 23rd at
the La Patite Auberge restaurant.
At her request only French ma-
jors, French faculty, and French
alumnae will be invited to
attend.

Library receives new printer

The McCain Library has recen-
tly received a reader printer
which will make hard copies of
articles from periodicals and
newspapers on microfilm. The
printer is located on the first
floor of the library near the
microfilm collection and the
other reader. The machine
copies at a cost of ten cents per
copy.

The reader printer operates
much like a combination of a

microfilm reader and a Xerox
machine. The first step concerns
getting the microfilm in a
readable position and getting
the pages to be copied on the
screen. With the deposit of ten
cents, the machine will then
make a copy of what is on the
screen. Since all the films in our
library are positive, the copies
come out negative (white print
on a black background).

The machine is self-service,

but the library staff will assist at
first with the operation of the
machine.

McCain Library has over 2700
films and has ordered ap-
proximately 120 new titles.
Microfilm is a convenient way of
keeping and storing periodicals
and newspapers because not
nearly as much aging, damageor
theft occurs.

professor has said that Dr. Perry
has convinced him that he knows
what he's doing in the Miller
decision by "protecting and sup-
porting the Chair."

Since the time of the decision,
two petitions have been
circulated on campus. One
petition, signed by 40 faculty
members has requested the
formation of an ad hoc
mediation committee to come
together with the administration
to evaluate the pros and cons of
the decision. At the present time

no grievance committee has
been established.

The other petition, which has
been drawn up by the students,
has been presented to President
Perry. The petition stated: "In
protest we would like to say that
Mr. Miller's teaching is of high
quality and he is a credit to the
Psychology Department." In
signing the petition, many
students have expressed frus-
tration because they feel certain
that they have "no weight in the
decision process."

G-PIRG traces
pollution sources

The Georgia Public Interest
Research Group (G-PIRG) at
Agnes Scott is presently involved
in tracing the pollution sources
of the Peavine Creek near cam-
pus.

The official G-PIRG news was
released in the Georgia Pirgres-
sive newspaper which was put in
student boxes last week. One of
the projects mentioned in it was
the Trotter Shoals Project. The
Shoals represent the last un-
dammed section of the upper
Savannah River in South
Carolina. The U. S. Senate has
recently appropriated funds for

the construction of the Richard
B. Russell Dam at the Shoals site.
Its construction will destroy
26,650 acres of largely hardwood
forests, and G-PIRG is one of the
state agencies and civic groups
concerned.

The Agnes Scott board
members of G-PIRG want to
place a bulletin board on campus
to inform students of news on
both local and state levels.

The Agnes Scott officers are:
Eleanor McCain, Bonnie Stoffel,
Jan Fleischman, Lark Todd, Holly
Bennett, Sue Jordan and Trish
Dupont.

Anderson speaks in
honor of Garber

Dr. Bernhard W. Anderson,
Professor of Old Testament
Theology at Princeton
Theological Seminary, will be
coming to Agnes Scott on Fri.,
March 12, as guest speaker at the
retirement dinner planned for
Dr. Paul Leslie Garber, a member
of the Bible and Religion
Department faculty.

Dr. Anderson, a Methodist
minister and a personal friend of
Professor Garber's, has taught
Bible on the college, university,

and divinity school levels. He has
directed archeological ex-
peditions in the biblical city of
Shechem, and has served as An-
nual Professor at the American
School of Oriental Research in
Jerusalem. Perhaps he is best
known to Agnes Scott students as
the author of Understanding the
Old Testament.

Dr. Garber has been a profes-
sor of Bible and religion at Agnes
Scott College since 1943. A
scholarship fund will be es-
tablished in his honor.

Editorial

Need for complins

The constitution of the Agnes Scott College Christian Association,
Article VII, states that "The Christian Association Cabinet seeks to
penetrate the campus, the world, and the Christian faith, and provide
means whereby the needs which arise may be constructively met."
One of the vehicles which CA employs in order to carry out this ob-
jective is the sponsoring of "programs of worship and study" (Article
VII, Section 3) to aid in "the total and individual mental and spiritual
growth of students" (Article VII, Section 3). Among the listed
programs which the Association utilizes to meet the needs of the
student body is found "Fellowship of individual halls" (Article VII,
Section 3, f). These fellowship programs are commonly referred to as
complins.

Complins generally meet once a week and provide a student with
the opportunity to become better acquainted with the people with
whom she lives, one of several ways in which these meetings provide
her with opportunities for growth. The discussions participated in by
these groups can promote a development of tolerance of the
opinions of others and a respect for the right of each individual to
voice an opinion, two lessons which are vital to the growth of any
person.

Not only do complins offer students a pleasant study break, but
they also offer a period of spiritual growth through Bible studies and
religious discussions. They carry the work of Christian Association
into the dormitory, directly to the students.

Complins can be a time for academic discussions as well as religious
discussions, since academics, too, are part of "the total and individual
mental and spiritual growth" (Articles VII, Section 3).

Whether the discussion be academic or religious, complins are
instrumental in promoting the individual growth of each student and
the growth of fellowship among students, and as such instruments
they should be available to each hall of each dormitory. But, un-
fortunately, complins are not being fully utilized on the Agnes Scott
campus.

Last fall CA discontinued their practice of sponsoring formal com-
plins in favor of developing a program of campus-wide fellowship,
which has not yet materialized. Informal complins, independent of
CA, can be begun on any hall. Each hall needs only one volunteer,
one person willing to arrange the meetings, in order to participate in
this opportunity for growth. If your hall does not have these periods
of fellowship, and you would like to find out how to initiate such a
program, contact Lucta Allen.

Dear Editor,

Time is flying by, but for me
the time spent at Agnes Scott is
still very near. I wish everybody
there a very happy new year. I
hope that 1976 will bring you all
happiness, satisfactions and
peace. Here in Paris, wintertime
is grey and dull, and " 'Agnes
Scott' is like a magic word full of
sunshine!!" I wish I had been
able to write to each of you, but
there are too many fantastic
people at "Agnes Scott."

Affectionately,
Francoise Chaze

Dear Editor:

In recent days I have heard
much criticism, both directly and
indirectly, of our food service
program in the dining hall. The
new policy limiting students and
guests to a single serving of meat
entrees has been questioned.
The policy is clearly a matter of
economics, and perhaps the
college community might like to
know the magnitude of our

problem in providing good food,
in quality and quantity, within
our budget.

In the five year period from
September 1970 to September
1975, food prices in the Atlanta
area increased by 60.5 percent.
During this same five year
period, our room and board
charges increased by 27.3
percent, jumping from $1,100 to
$1,400. We hope that this
dramatic inflation in food prices
will ease off, but this is probably
wishful thinking. We are
attempting to control costs in
our dining hall and still provide
good food in reasonable quan-
tities. This keeps pressure on our
dining hall staff, and it does force
change in policy from time to
time. The only alternative to this
strategy is very significant in-
creases in room and board fees.

It is easy to stand at a distance
and suggest that dollars spent on
air conditioning, campus light-
ing or library modernization
should be diverted into food for
students. Agnes Scott has a
strong history of securing ex-
ternal funding for building pro-

announcing. . .

Most honorary organizations
on campus have a grade point
average requirement for elec-
tion to membership. Unless a
student notifies Laura Steele, the
college Registrar, to the contrary
by January 30, she will release the
names of the academically
qualified students to such
organizations for consideration
in membership selection. In the
case of Phi Beta Kappa, she will
release actual education records
to the faculty selection com-
mittee for review and will make
grades and grade point averages
available to the membership of
the Beta of Georgia chapter.

A student who does not want
such information made available
must let Miss Steele know her

wishes in writing by January 30.
This policy is established in con-
formity with the Health,
Education and Welfare
guidelines set under the Buckley
Amendment.

The final date for dropping
courses for the winter quarter of
the 1976-77 session is February 6.

Any juniors who expect to
student teach during 1976-77
should make an appointment
with a member of the
Department of Education by
February 16. Secondary English
and all elementary applicants
should see Miss Ammons. All
other applicants should see Mr.
Hepburn.

Governor George Busbee told
a rally of some 5,000 school
teachers on January 17 that he
backs their demand for more
pay, and that he is working on a
legislative package to provide a
new direction in education in
Georgia. Busbee told the
educators that he has been
working on a $70 million budget
cut which he will propose to the
legislature so that the 7%
teachers' pay raise can be res-
tored.

these projects, and they are
basically funded by generous
benefactors. As a matter of fact,
Agnes Scott spends about $8,000
per student on annual operating
expenses. However, total fees
paid by the student this year are
$3,950. so it takes every penny of
student fees, and much more, to
fund our day to day expenses.

Mrs. Saunders and herstaff are
very concerned about the
welfare of our .students. Your
critique of the menu and food
preparation, both positive and
negative, is our best tool for
maintaining student satisfaction.
I know that she is committed,
within the limits of budget and
nutritional guidelines, to meet-

little about the soaring food
costs. We can, however, make
every effort to achieve greater
satisfaction and appreciation for
those things within our control.

Alliance opens season
with comedy

by Liz Hornsby

The Alliance Theatre opened
its 1976 season last Thursday with
the Broadway-bound Last Meet-
ing of the Knights of the White
Magnolia, a comedy by Preston
Jones. The title refers to a
conservative splinter group of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
and the play, set in 1962 in a
small, dead, West Texas town,
concerns the last remaining
lodge of knights. It is composed
of a rather scruffy assortment of
"good ol' boys," including a
genial, slow-witted supermarket
manager, a senile but still im-
posing ex-Army colonel, and a
filling-station attendant whose
whole body has a nervous twitch.
Also the usual activities of the
Knights have gradually dwindled
down to playing dominoes,
chewing the fat, and guzzling
alcoholic "ree-freshments," on
this evening the agenda features
the initiation of the first new
member in seven years, an
awkward teenager with acne, as-
thnru., and flat feet. One thing
leads to another, and the meet-
ing rapidly becomes a shambles.

The play is a great deal of fun,
but it is not without a more
serious side. The meeting serves

as a framework for nine sensitive,
non-stereotyped character
studies. The Knights are far from
noble, but there is something
touching in the special place
they reserve for the seedy lodge
in their drab, small lives. Fred
Chappell directs with a sure
sense of comic timing as well as
an awareness of the
undercurrent of the pathetic in
the play. The cast (Bob
Lawrence, Mitchell Edmonds,
Theodore Martin, Alfred
Hinckley, J. Frank Lucas, David
Harscheid, Philip Pleasants, Jim
Baker, and Brad Blaisdell) is
uniformly good in the colorful
roles, and even the characters'
quirks and eccentricities seem
believable. Also of note is the
meeting room set, which is
authentic to the smallest detail
and does much to create an ap-
propriate atmosphere.

Knights will play through the
end of the month. It's a fine
evening of entertainment and a
real bargain, too: a good seat can
be had for only a dollar more
than the cost of a first-run movie
ticket. Season tickets are
available to students at half-
price. For information and
reservations, call 892-2414.

Lord Shiva.

She will also perform one of
the "Panchakanya" dance
dramas, the "Mahasati Man-
dodari," from the repertoire of
the temple-dancers of Orissa.
Miss Devi's revival of the "Pan-
chakanya" dances is a unique
contribution to the history of In-
dian classical dance.

PBS
offers
variety

by Liz Hornsby
Local PBS outlet WGTV
(Channel 8) has recently
unveiled a number of new series
for 1976. From British television
comes Piccadilly Circus, a mon-
thly offering that will alternately
feature programs of comedy,
music, and drama. Showtime is 9
on Monday evenings. Another
British import, appearing weekly
at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays, is The
Onedin Line, a high-seas adven-
ture, set in the Victorian period,
about a man determined to own
his own fleet of ships. This series
is noted for its realistic depiction
of the harsh life of the time. For
history lovers and chauvinists
there is 'The Adams Chronicles,
dramatizing the story of the
fledgling United States as well as
the lives of the Adams clan. The
Chronicles air on Tuesday at 9
p.m. this month and will run for
thirteen weeks. Finally, for
something completely different,
there is the second season of The
International Animation Festival,
seen on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.
with its wide variety of topics and
tones, it proves that there is a lot
more to animated film than Bugs
Bunny or little hammers poun-
ding out headache pain for
commercials.

week, the topic of pareitals was
on the agenda, but because a
quorum was not present at the
meeting, they were unable to act
on the RC. The usual procedure
of the Board of Trustees is to act
on a measure after the executive
committee states its approval or
disapproval of the measure.

Since the executive committee
will have no statement to make,
the Board will postpone its con-
sideration of RC 172 until its

February meeting.

Rep Council discussed the
shortage of parking spaces on
campus. Cathy Harris was ap-
pointed to investigate the park-
ing problem, and Rep members
were asked to discuss the matter
with their constituents.

Kim Cobble, a sophomore
representative to the Council,
has resigned, and will be
replaced by Lynne Oswald.

Moments Remembered

From the 1926 Agnes Scott
college catalog:

"Every effort is made to
promote earnest and
pronounced religious life in the
College. Students are requested
to select the church they desire
to make their church home as
soon as practical after arrival.
Ordinarily this must be the
church of their parents.
"They are expected to attend

this church on Sunday morning.
Attendance at daily morning
prayers is required.

"When two or more sisters
enter as boarding students, a dis-
count of $18.25 is allowed from
the September payment, and
$10.00 from the January payment
for each sister.

"A minimum of two credits of
Latin is required for admission as
a conditioned freshman."

Observatory
open to public

Astronomy fans are invited to
the Agnes Scott College
observatory on February 4 and 18
and March 3 from 8 to 10 p.m. If
the sky is clear, the 30-inch
reflecting telescope will be in
use. If it is raining, the
observatory will be closed.

Dr. George Folsom, Agnes
Scott assistant professor of
physics and astronomy, will
supervise the use of the teles-

cope. According to Dr. Folsom,
the telescope at this time of year
will allow viewers to observe the
planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn,
as well as the moon and stars.

The Agnes Scott Observatory
is located off East Dougherty
Street. A well-lit path across from
the Agnes Scott tennis courts
leads from East Dougherty to the
observatory.

ADDRESS

The program included counsel
to the audience to avoid travel-
ing alone and to remain in well
lighted areas. Sergeant Dixon
noted that many common items
such as keys, pins or hairspray
can be used as weapons against
an assailant. He advised resis-
tance if the victim is near other
people who could come to her
aid. If a woman is approached in
an isolated area, she should
suggest going to her apartment
or a motel. Once she is close to
other people she should call for
help.

Sergeant Dixon also described
police procedure following a
reported rape and the often
humiliating courtroom scene
which frequently discourage vic-
tims from reporting their rapes.

Rep Report

RC 172 approved by committee

At the Rep Council meetingof
January 27, Janie Sutton,
president of Student
Government Association, an-
nounced that the Student Affairs
Committee of the Board of
Trustees voted unanimously to
approve RC 172, which would
allow male visitors in the
dormitories during specified
hours on Sunday afternoons.

. . .The committee will present
its vote to the Executive Com-
mittee of the Board of Trustees at
their February meeting. The Ex-
ecutive Committee will vote on
the RC at that meeting, and the
full Board will act on it at their
meeting in May.

. . .A student government
committee investigated the
shortage of parking spaces on
campu. R. James Henderson,
vice-president of business af-
fairs, told the committee that
plans have been drawn up to
enlarge the parking lot beside
Hopkins. The project is being
delayed because of a lack of suf-
ficient funds.

A tentative schedule for
student government elections
has been set up. Popular
nominations will be held in the
Hub from 1 a.m. - 5 p.m. on
February 10. Petitions for offices
may be filed between 8 a.m.
February 10 and 5 p.m. February
17. On February 20 students will
be notified of the offices for

which they have been
nominated, and must rate the
positions according to
preference and accept or
decline the nomination by
February 27. Petitions will be
reopened from February 21 to
February 24 at 5 p.m. The ballot
will be posted on Sun., March 7.
Election speeches for the three
major offices of student
government will be delivered in
Gaines at 11 :30 a.m. on March 31,
with all other election speeches
being given at 5 p.m. in the din-
ing hall. Elections will be held on
April 1 from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the
Hub. A Hub party will be given at
9 p.m. on election night to an-
nounce the winners.

The Council voted to ap-
propriate $65 to cover the entry

fee for a Georgia Tech-spon-
sored College Bowl. Colleges in
the Southeastern Conference
will compete in the academic
contest, which will be held on
February 27 and 28.

Christian Association is spon-
soring a Mother Goose Contest
to raise money for multiple
sclerosis. Rep Council chose An-
drea Groover to dress as a
Mother Goose character and
compete with entrants from
other campus organizations. Rep
will take up a collection to meet
the five-dollar entry fee re-
quirement. The Budget Com-
mittee felt that this money
should not be taken from the
treasury because student activity
fees should not be given to
charities.

Interdorm's year
in review

Interdormitory Council has
under its direct jurisdiction,
violations which may jeopardize
the safety or property of others
and also serves as the board of
appeals for Dormitory Council
cases. Approximately 80% of the
cases handled by Interdorm in-

volve the misuse of keys, while
the remainder of the cases have
been appeals. As each case is
considered an individual one,
the penalties which Interdorm
has given for these violations
range from two infractions to a
campus or restricted week.

Fire exit procedures
are stated

Fire safety is everyone's res-
ponsibility. Speed and
orderliness in clearing a building
are essential to save lives or
prevent injury when a fire oc-
curs. Each person must know
what to do when a fire alarm
sounds. Fire drills are the best
method to familiarize building
occupants with emergency exit
procedures. Below is a list of a
few basic rules that must be
followed during a fire drill:

1. Stop what you are doing
immediately upon hearing the
fire alarm.

2. Close the door to your office
or room as you leave.

3. Go to the nearest exit or
stairs.

4. Do not panic, you will have
plenty of time.

5. Move in the direction of
other traffic, not against it.

6. Do not hesitate. If you stop
to talk to someone you may
impede traffic as well as en-
danger yourself.

7. Once on the outside of the
building, proceed until you are
at least 150 feet away.

8. In a classroom the professor
will be responsible for directing
students to the nearest exit or
stairs and closing the door to the
classroom.

9. Become familiar with posted
emergency exit diagram and
procedures and obey them
when the alarm sounds.

10. Do not re-enter the build-
ing until the alarm stops ringing
or a fire marshall tells you it is
safe to do so.

Student Life
Committee is revived

The Student Life Committee
has been revived by the
Representative Council. Rep
Council felt that students with
non-academic problems and
concerns, who would ordinarily
be referred to the Committee on

Academic Problems, needed a
committee designed to meet
their own needs. The revived
committee's chairman is Lark
Todd; and the other members
are C. J. Beysselance, Gay
Blackburn, and Susan Kidd.

The Committee is currently
working on the food policy. They
will meet the first Monday of
every month at 6 p.m. in the

President's dining hall with Mr.
Henderson, Miss Saunders and
any other interested students. A
suggestion box will be placed in
the mailroom and the members
of the committee invite students
to submit concerns and to
participate in the committee's
activities.

Mrs. Salisbury received her State University.

Honor Emphasis Week to be held 2-6

Honor Emphasis Week,
February 2-6, has a dual purpose
this year. At a time when many
colleges are admitting that their
Honor Systems are ineffective,
Honor Court is attempting to
make the student body in-
creasingly aware of the ideals
and attitudes as well as the res-
ponsibilities inherent in the
Agnes Scott Honor System. At

the same time, the board desires
to bring that system under the
scrutiny of the student body,
faculty, and administration and
to elicit questions and construc-
tive criticism.

The board has announced the
following as events for the week
and has asked the campus com-
munity to support the Honor
System with their participation.

Tuesday 11 :30 a.m. "It's a
Matter of Fact" Rebekah
Reception.

Wednesday 11:30 a.m.
Talk by Marcia Knight
Rebekah Reception.

Wednesday 10:00 p.m.
Hub Party with Skit Hub.

Thursday 11:30 a.m. In-
formal Question and Answer
Session Rebekah Reception.

The information session on
Tuesday, "It's a Matter of Fact,"
will be a presentation by
members of the board which will
concentrate on plagiarism and
dual responsibility on campus. It
will be followed by a brief ques-
tion period. On Wednesday,
Marcia Knight, past chairman of
Honor Court, will speak at an in-
formal convocation. Wednesday

night the campus community is
invited to a party in the Hub. The
Thursday session will be an open
forum for questions, answers,
and issues led by Anne Walker,
Chairman of Honor Court and
Lea Ann Grimes, Chairman of
Interdorm.

Editorial

College hymn underused

God of the Marching Centuries" is an integral part of Agnes Scott
College, but not as important a part as it should be. The college hymn
has been sung only once this quarter at a campus gathering. It was
one of the hymns sung during Tuesday's Christian Association
chapel.

A few people shy away from the "sentimental traditionalism" that
they feel college songs represent, but many people feel that sen-
timent and tradition have a place at this college. Sentiment is not
necessarily a sloppy, silly emotion; it can be an affectionate, caring
emotion. And tradition is not an empty repitition of ritual; it is a link
between the past and the present that builds a foundation for the
future.

The very name, Agnes Scott, evokes images of long-standing
traditions. There are very few Agnes Scott traditions more attractive
than the sight and sound of approximately 600 students, faculty and
administrators singing "God of the Marching Centuries." It is true
that it is a scene reminiscent of the movie "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," but
it is also a link to all the people who have gathered before and all
those who will gather after to sing the same song.

"God of the Marching Centuries" is a symbol of Agnes Scott
College and all the things for which it stands. Perhaps we could take a
few minutes of two or three formal convocations per quarter to
remind ourselves why we are here.

To the Editor:

Your article in the January 23,
1976, Profile entitled "Professors
and Students React to Miller
Decision" was a most ap-
propriate means of bringing
some of the issues into the open
in an attempt to clarify the
situation for the campus com-
munity. It is unfortunate, but
perhaps understandable, that
untenured faculty members
would be afraid to "talk openly"
about the subject.

I was certainly surprised last
November, as was Mr. Miller,
when it was revealed that his
contract would not be renewed
for the 1976-77 academic year.

Not only in the spring of 1975 had
the Psychology Department
planned that Mr. Miller would
initiate a course in experimental
design and statistics for the fall of
1976, but, upon comingto Agnes
Scott College, Mr. Miller had a
letter seeming to imply that he
would be retained for three
years, other things being satis-
factory (through the academic
year, 1976-77).

Now I neither question the
right of the College not to renew
the contract of an untenured
professor nor the goal of finding
the "best person" for the job.
The fundamental issue, I feel.

concerns the manner or means
by which the ends were pursued ,
that is: (1) the possibility of
misleading a person with regard
to his length of stay, and (2) a
certain lack of communication,
understanding, and sensitivity.

The fundamental issue here
concerns the human factor.
Good relationships, humane
relationships, between people
are essential before most self-ac-
tualizing goals can be pursued
effectively.

Sincerely yours.
Tom Hogan, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Department of Psychology

by Margaret Lamberson

The visual beauty of Stanley
Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" is so
impressive as to virtually
overpower the film's less than
impressive plot. By masterful
cinematography and direction,
Kubrick develops William
Makepeace Thackeray's not un-
common tale of ambition and
fate into a film of remarkable
grandeur.

Landscapes, interiors, cos-
tumes, every visual aspect of the
film is lovingly brought to its
fullest bloom. Watching "Barry
Lyndon" is like walking through
a series of masterpiece paintings.
With all its splendor, the film
remains safely within the boun-
daries of excellent taste, never
becoming merely gaudy.

Unfortunately, with the ex-

ception of a few remarkable
scenes, the viewer is so caught
up in watching that the plot slips
by half-noticed. This is not too
great a fault, however, for the
story of a young man's rise and
fall is neither new nor difficult to
follow.

One scene in particular stands
out as a testimony to Kubrick's
directorial talents in the realm of
human emotion. A startling
depiction of an elaborate duel
between Barry Lyndon and his
step-son had much of the
audience spell-bound in horror.
Kubrick has presented a familiar
scene in a new contest: reality.
Instead of the customary fearless
gallantry shown by most film
characters as they prepare to
blow each other's brains out, the

two men here are human beings,
capable of gallantry, but also of
great fear and pain.

Ryan O'Neal is an adequate,
but far from thrilling, Barry
Lyndon. His now-you-hear-it,
now-you-don't Irish accent is
almost comical, but fortunately
doesn't prove distracting. Marisa
Berenson, as Lady Lyndon,
hardly acts at all. She is an exten-
sion of the scenery, adding to the
beauty of the film with oc-
casional contributions to its
emotional effect.

"Barry Lyndon" has the aura of
a masterwork. It's beauty leaves
the viewer with an awe almost
entirely undisturbed by any
unwelcome intereference from
Thackeray's tale of a man.

Moments Remembered

This week's "Moments
Remembered'' is taken from The
Agonistic, October 17, 1934.

The Agnes Scott College held
its annual official bacon bat in
the basement of the First
Methodist Church of Decatur on
Saturday, October 6. Dr. Philip
G. Davidson, head of the

department of history, presided
over the frying pan. All faculty
members joined in playing "rus-
tic" games, such as Brain Fever
and Mr. Smith Had A Rooster.
The bat lasted from five until

about seven.

The bacon bat is a custom of
some years standing, given each
fall after the opening of school. It
is usually held in the woods
around a bonfire, but wet
weather made it necessary to
have this one indoors.

The Sophomore Class won the
Black Cat, traditional symbol of
victory, in the annual stunt
contest held in the gymnasium.
The winning stunt had as its

theme the conquest of the
freshmen by the sophomores.
Entitled "Revere the Soph. " it
had as its main characters Revere
the Soph and Ah-Ha the Frosh.

Several interesting choruses
were presented, including one
by girls masquerading as horses.
The freshman stunt, "A Mars
Confection," was set on Mars
and was very cleverly carried out.

Each class was enthusiastically
supported by its cheering sec-
tion.

Honor Court's
year in review

Since the current HonorCourt
took office last spring, 60% of the
board's case load has involved
violations of academic
regulations and 40% has involved
v iolation of social regulations. Of
the total judicial work, 40% of the
cases involved plagiarism, 20%
involved examination violations
and academic irregularities, 10%
involved stealing and 30% were
violations of the illegal drug
policy.

Honor Court considers each
case individually and before a

particular case has been hoard, it
is impossible to predu ; which
penalty will be pass in the
board's vote. Penalties for first
offense violations of both social
and academic regulations can
and do extend from restriction of

exam privileges to suspension or
dismissal. For drug violations, the
Agnes Scott College Handbook
(p. 20) stipulates that thv
penalties of probation or
suspension will be given for the
first offense of use.

Plagiarism: An increasing concern

Over the past four months that
school has been in session,
Honor Court has been in-
creasingly concerned about the
problem of plagiarism. As a
result of this concern, it was felt
that the student body needed to
be made aware of just exactly
what plagiarism is, why it is such a
serious violation of the Honor
Pledge, and how one can avoid
any misunderstanding or
violations.

Plagiarism is defined by the
Random House Dictionary (1968)
as "the appropriation or
imitation of the language, ideas,
and thoughts of another author,
and representation of them as
one's in this manner." It is not

Plagiarism includes taking an
author's ideas and rephrasing
them in one's own words,
without acknowledging the
sources of those ideas.

Plagiarism is contrary to the
academic purposes of Agnes
Scott. In her work, each student
is to develop techniques of both
independent thought and
research and using another's
work as one's own defeats the
development of these techni-
ques. In addition, under federal
and state laws, plagiarism is
illegal and punishable by either
fine or imprisonment or both.
Thus, plagiarism is a serious
violation of the standard of our
academic community and of

on\/ornmpntal I a va/

board has identified several
causes of plagiarism. These in-
clude careless note-taking and
notation of sources,
misunderstanding the as-
signment, and ignorance of what
is and is not considered general
knowledge. General knowledge
is considered to be those es-
tablished facts which are not the
products of a particular author's
creativity. Probably the most
common cause of plagiarism,
however, is the rushing of an as-
signment when the student sim-
ply does not leave herself
enough time.

The possible penalties foi

academic regulations, range

Each case which comes before
Honor Court is handled in-
dividually, with only that Case's
facts before the board. However,
cases from neglect or ignorance
are considered just as seriously as

those from intention. In each
case, Honor Court strives to find
a penalty which suits the
violation and yet will help the
student. Since professors cannot
grade plagiarized papers, Honor
Court also has jurisdiction over
the paper grade. Often a

workshop is recommended, to
help the student learn how to
prepare papers with proper
documentation.

Probably the best standard a
student should go by when
preparing a paper is the maxim,
"when in doubt, ask. " Professors

documentation is best handled

Carnegie Corporation sponsors
women administration internships

A program of internships for
recent women graduates
interested in administrative
careers in higher education is
being sponsored for the third
yea: by sixteen colleges, one of
which is Agnes Scott. It is
designed to provide collegesand
universities with a supply of
qualified women for entry-level
positions in all phases of
academic administration.
Funded by the Carnegie
Corporation, the program will
provide an administrative
internship at each of the
participating institutions for the
1976-77 academic year.

The program will stress train-
ing in areas such as financial and
business affairs, financial aid,
academic affairs, public relations
and development.

The ten-month internship

begins with a one-week
workshop in August. Each intern
is then assigned to a college
other than her nominating
institution. Applicants must be
free to move to an assigned host
campus for the ten-month
internship. Each intern will work
with a senior administrator,
observing and participating in
activities for which her
supervisor is responsible. She
will alsoengage in a study or pro-
ject designed to deepen her
understanding of the problems
of college administration and to
have value for the colleges.

Harriet Higgins, a graduate
from Wells College in upstate
New York, is presently employed
at Agnes Scott as a special as-
sistant to Mr. Henderson in the
business affairs office. She has
recently prepared a detailed

report on the budget. When her
ten month internship ends, she
hopes to work in business affairs
at another college.

Agnes Scott has nominated
three women graduates to the
position of administrative intern.
They are: Mrs. Bonnie Brown
Johnson, 70, Mary Margaret
MacLauchlin, 74, and Beth
Wickenberg, 75. The Agnes
Scott intern will be selected by
Cedar Crest College in April,
1976.

The sixteen women's colleges
sponsoring the administrative
intern program are: Agnes Scott,
Cedar Crest, Chatham, Elmira,
Goucher, Hollins, Mary Baldwin,
Mills, Randolph Macon
Woman's, Salem, Scripps, Skid-
more, Sweet Briar, Wells,
Wheaton, and Wilson.

Board authorizes
tuition increase

The Board of Trustees has
authorized an increase for the
Agnes Scott academic year 1976-
1977 of $200 in tuition. Tuition for
the upcoming school year will
therefore be $2,700; with room,
board, and infirmary service
remaining at $1,400. The $50,000
student activities fee also
remains unchanged. Total
changes for 1976-77 will ac-
cordingly be $4,150 for resident
students and $2,750 for day
students.

In his letter to the parents,
President Perry has stated that
the college is increasing substan-
tially college financial funds
available for students who
qualify for financial aid. He em-
phasizes the fact that Agnes Scott

has sufficient financial aid
resources, scholarships, loans,
campus jobs, to meet the finan-
cial needs of the students as
determined under the policies of
the College Scholarship Service
or the American College Testing
Program.

The letter further states that
comprehensive fees at twenty-
three outstanding women's
colleges throughout the nation
will average over $4,800 in 1976-
77 while Agnes Scott's will be
$4,150. Even at $4,150 student
fees in the coming year will cover
less than half of the College'sex-
penses. The balance must be met
from endowment income and
gifts from benefactors.

Editorial

Miller decision

Close inspection on the Agnes Scott campus reveals a disturbing
factor which is having an undesirable effect on the faculty and
students. A young professor's contract is not being renewed for the
upcoming 1976-77 school year. This incident has led to statements
from untenured professors that they are very reluctant to talk openly
about the school because of a fear of possible retaliation. Finally
comes student frustration in the knowledge that a well-thought-of
professor will not be teaching on campus next year and not a thing
can be done about it. Despite an impressive amount of signatures on
the student petition, the petition has been quietly received and
ignored.

It is highly distressing that a department would be so unethical as to
mislead a professor with regard to his length of stay. In his letter to the
Profile (Jan. 30), Tom Hogan states that "in the spring of 1975 the
psychology department planned that Mr. Miller would initiate a
course in experimental design and statistics for the fall of 1976." He
further states that "upon coming to Agnes Scott College, Mr. Miller
had a letter seeming to imply that he would be retained for three
years, other things being satisfactory (through the academic year,
1976-77)."

It is not certain what events led to the psychology department's
recommendation that Mr. Miller's contract not be renewed for the
1976-77 school year. And it is doubtful that the campus will ever be
given an explanation. But it needs to be said that the students are not
impressed with the psychology department's ambiguous goal of try-
ing to find the "best person" for the job. Many faculty members and
students are disturbed with the manner or means by which the goal
was pursued. They have expressed their dissatisfaction with petitions
in the hopes that such questionable action will not take place again.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest is a grossly over-rated film.
A pretentious "message pic-
ture," it offers an abundance of
heavy-handed, usually
hackneyed irony and symbolism.
The general public will no doubt
consider it a very profound
movie, but it never achieves any
real depth.

Cuckoo's Nest is the story of
one R. P. McMurphy (Jack
Nicholson), sent to a mental hos-
pital from the county work farm
for observation of his disruptive
behavior. McMurphy soon takes
a group of his ward-mates under
his wing and begins a series of in-
creasingly virulent con-
frontations with the coldly ef-
ficient head nurse. Eventually he
attempts an escape, which goes
haywire and is climaxed by his
sudden enraged attack on the
nurse. Judged to be unstable and
dangerous, he is lobotomized,
but not before he has become an
inspiration to the ward, even
enabling one patient to "find
himself" enough to break out.

The main trouble with Cuc-
koo's Nest is the slick but sim-
plistic script. Essentially, the film

Jay Fuller
to perform
piano works

A program of piano music by
American composers will be
performed on February 13 in
Gaines Auditorium at 8:15 p.m.
The pianist will be Jay Fuller, As-
sistant Professor of Music, Agnes
Scott College.

Several unusual works are in-
cluded in this program, among
them five selections from
"Twelve Definitions," by a native
Georgia composer, Beryl
Rubenstein. Two rarely heard
pieces by Charles Griffes, "The
White Peacock" and "Scherzo,"
have been chosen from the tiny
piano repertoire (11 pieces) of
this artist who unfortunately
died before reaching his full
capacities as a composer.

Other works on the program,
by more familiar composers, are
the Fourth Sonata of Edward
MacDowell, Piano Variations by
Aaron Copland, and "Excursions
II and IV" by Samuel Barber.

The campus community is
warmly invited to attend the
performance, casual dress will be

is nothing more than a situation
comedy/melodrama set in an in-
sane asylum. One-dimensional
characterizations abound (e.g.,
the scruffy but lovable anti-hero
vs. nasty nurse or moronic
psychologist); the question of
who is really sane is treated
without originality or real in-
sight; and when reality gets in

the way, it is ignored, a tactic
allowable in, say, a mystery or
thriller but not in a film that asks
to be taken seriously. Another
major flaw in the script is the en-
ding, intended as a stirring se-
quence rich in meaning, but so
overblown as to be literally

laughable. One must also fault
the film for lethargic direction
(including a monotonous
overuse of lingering close-ups)
and for exploitation of four-
letter words and parts of the
plotline, such as a suicide, for
shock value.

On the plus side, the acting is
gen2rally good, and there are
moments of genuine humor and
pathos. But Cuckoo's Nest is too
mired in pseudo-profundity and
artistic overkill to amount to
much A discriminating
moviegoer is unlikely to find it
worth either its inflated ticket
price or its two-hour span.

Company proves
disappointing

by Margaret Lamberson
A show like Company is dif-
ficult to present unsuccessfully.
It can be performed poorly, but
the show is so strong that it can
survive practically anything.
Because of this, the Harlequin
Theatre production of this Tony
award-winning play was en-
joyable, although disappointing.

Stephen Sondheim's witty,
sophisticated lyrics were all but
lost behind the music which was
performed much too loudly and
with little sensitivity to the
performers. The conductor
seemed entirely oblivious to the
actors, causing the singers to
appear off rhythm whenever
they tried to personalize the
numbers.

The cast was energetic, and
generally the characterizations
were clear and consistent. Some
lines were made confusing or
meaningless because the action
which should have explained
them was left out or muddled.
The overall conception of the
play was clear, however, and
point was brought across to the
audience well, but lacking in the
impact it should have had.

Joseph Mullin as Bobby (the
sole bachelor in a group of
married couples) seemed at
times so artificial that you
wondered why his friends didn't
notice. In this role more than any
other, the strength of the play
itself supported the actor, rather
than the actor discovering and

interpreting the personality of
the character.

Joanne, played by Gerry
McCarthy, is the most intensely
dramatic role in the play. Un-
fortunately, McCarthy's Joanne
was merely bitchy, not a portrait
of a woman who has ex-
perienced too much and must
laugh at herself in order to avoid
breaking down. "The Ladies
Who Lunch", Joanne's most
powerful moment and one of
the most moving songs in the
show was made ineffectual by
the ridiculous volume of the
orchestra and the lack of
strength in the lower ranges of
the singer's voice. The bottom
notes in this song were meant to
be growled out from below, not
reached for from the top.

One of my favorite numbers in
the show, "Getting Married,"
was marred by the slowness of
the pace at which it was sung.
Sondheim intended for this song
to be sung almost unbelievably
fast, and both local productions
of this play reduced it to a pedes-
trian level by slowing it down.

It is a pity to see such a
marvelous play in a performance
which doesn't do it justice, but
seeing Company done badly is
always better than not seeing it at
all.

Tickets are available at the
Harlequin Box Office (262-1552)
or at all S.E.A.T.S. locations.
Student discounts are available
the day of the performance.

Moments remembered

Agnes Scott Students will soon
be having the same sort of health
training which their brothersand
friends have been having in Un-
cle Sam's armed forces. The first
step in this program is a test for
physical efficiency which will be
given when students enter
school, testing their strength, en-
durance, coordination, posture,
and condition of their feet.
Students who need im-

provement will take a basic
course in individual gymnastics. .
.Other features of the physical
fitness program are the re-
quirements that all college
students have one team sport,
one individual sport, swimming
and dancing, and that the
courses be lengthened from
three to five hours.

ing of February 3, President janie
Sutton announced that
Interdormitory Council has
decided to designate dormitory
council rooms on each floor of
each down before the spring
elections. The rooms will be cen-
trally located.

Dorn council members will
still be able to choose the dorms
and the floors on which they
wish to live. This new plan will
not affect the living together of
friendship groups involving
dorm council members.

Cathy Harris reported that the
Parking Committee has dis-
cussed the campus parking
problem with Frank Blackman,
director of security, and he told
the committee that the main
problem is the parking of
unauthorized cars in student and
faculty lots. Mr. Blackmon said
that if any students wish to

volunteer to check the parking
lots, they should contact him.

Janie said that Dean Hun-
tington had suggested that there
be a time limit placed on cars
parked on the main drives
through the campus. Janie plans
to arrange a meeting between
Rep and Mr. Blackmon to discuss
the problem.

Jack Nelson, associate profes-
sor of English, has agreed to act
as coach of the Agnes Scott team
that will compete in the
Southeastern College Bowl.

Harriett Graves announced
that the Committee on
Academic Problems will inves-
tigate the possibilities of expan-
ding internship programs and
the giving credit for more
internships.

The entry fee for the Mother
Goose Contest sponsored by
Christian Association has been
reduced to three dollars, ac-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030-

February 13, 1976

Tompkins to speak
on Founder's Day

History of Agnes Scott reviewed

Agnes Scott College
celebrates its Founder's Day on
Wed., Feb. 18. Following the
traditional academic procession
Dr. Pauline Tompkins, president
of Cedar Crest College, speaks.
Dr. Tompkins will speak on the
legacy of liberal arts colleges in
honor of the 87th birthday of
Agnes Scott. Her address is at
11:15 a.m. in Presser Hall and
open to the public at no charge.

Dr. Tompkins served as
general director of the American
Association of University
Women for eight years before
assuming the presidency of
Cedar Crest College in
September 1967. Appointed by
former President Lyndon B.
Johnson, she served on the U. S.
Advisory Commission of
International Education and
Cultural Affairs from 1965 to
1969.

In addition to her presidential
responsibilities, Dr. Tompkins is
on the Carnegie Council on
Policy Studies in Higher
Education and the board of
trustees of the Carnegie Foun-
dation for the Advancement of

Teaching, which she chaired
from 1973 to 1975. She has
studied education ad-
ministration in Australia and
New Zealand under a Carnegie
Corporation grant.

She is also on the board of
directors of the Stuyvesant In-
surance Companies and the
American Bank and Trust Com-
pany of Pennsylvania, as well as
the pension boards of the United
Church of Christ.

A political scientist, Dr.
Tompkins has taught on the
faculties of Wellsley, Colby, and
Pine Manor Colleges and
Tunghai University, Taiwan. She
is a former research associate in
international relations at Mas-
sachusetts Institute of
Technology and was a visiting
specialist for the United Board of
Christian Higher Education in
Asia. She is the author of the
book, "American - Russian
Relations in the Far East,"
published by Macmillan. She is
an alumna of Mount Holyoke
College and has a Ph.D. from the
Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy.

The history of Agnes Scott
College began when, in
September of 1888, the Decatur
Presbyterian Church called
Frank H. Gaines from Virginia to
fill its pastorate. Upon reaching
Decatur in late December he
found very little interest in
education but a real need for a
good school, especially for
young ladies and girls. He dis-
cussed the matter with members
of his church. One, Colonel
George W. Scott, was particularly
enthusiastic. In a meeting of the
leading members of the church,
he proposed the following
resolution which was
unanimously adopted:

"Resolved, That we determine
to establish at once a school of
high character."

It was also resolved that a com-
mittee be appointed to canvass
for pupils. The committee was
instructed to say that the rates of
tuition for day pupils would be
from three to five dollars per
month and that a limited number
of boys under twelve years of age
would be received during the
first session.

A few meetings later, Mr.
Gaines, chairman of the com-
mittee on teachers, reported that
after his visit to Virginia, the
committee had secured the

services of Miss Nannette Hop-
kins as principal for the year at a
yearly salary of six hundred
dollars. The school was in-
corporated under the name
"Decatur Female Seminary."
Miss Fannie Pratt of Decatur was
engaged to teach piano, and
Miss Valerie Fraser, of Decatur,
to teach art and calisthenics. The
Decatur Female Seminary, an
elementary and grammar school,
opened September 24, 1889. The
enrollment was sixty-three
pupils, three of whom were
boarders.

In the spring of 1890, Colonel
Scott offered the school forty
thousand dollars. The only con-
dition was that it should be
named for his mother. The Board
of Trustees gratefully accepted
the offer and the name was
changed to Agnes Scott Institute.
Colonel Scott then went north to
examine school buildings. He
had his architect draw up the
plans for Agnes Scott Hall, or
Main. The building when com-
pleted was equipped with all the
modern conveniences and
facilities possible.

Some high school work was
offered at the Institute in the
beginning of the 1891-1892 ses-
sion but there was no separation
between grammar and high

school. Each year the lowest
grade was eliminated and one
higher was added until the gram-
mar school was eliminated and
the school became a college
preparatory institution. In 1905,
application was made for ad-
mission as a college to "The As-
sociation of Colleges and Secon-
dary Schools of the Southern
States." The application was
accepted two years later. Agnes
Scott was a full fledged college.

During the first years the
college encountered both finan-
cial difficulties and difficulties in
maintaining its high academic
standards. Through generous
gifts from friends of the college,
several campaigns for the es-
tablishment of an endowment
fund and sizable donations from
the General Education Board,
however, the college was able to
continue to grow and prosper.

New buildings were added and
the faculty enlarged. Frank
Henry Gaines served as
president of the college from
1889 until his death in 1923. He
was succeeded by James Ross
McCain (1923-1951), Wallace
McPherson Alston (1951-1973)
and Marvin Banks Perry who has
held the office from 1973 until
the present.

New Security guard is female

Agnes Scott participates
in College Bowl at Tech

by Patty Pearson

If you have noticed a new, pert
young blonde face around cam-
pus, it may not be a sophomore
transfer student it may be
twenty-one year old Diane
Charlton, the Security Office's
newest (and first woman) guard.

Miss Charlton stated that her
job was no different than that of
a male security guard, with the
exception that she has the
freedom of walking into the
dormitories without having to
yell "Man on the hall!" Her job
mainly consists of checking
doors and windows, locking
buildings, turning lights on and
off, looking for stray or strange
people not belonging on cam-
pus, and punching the clock for

keys. Currently on the 4 p.m. -12
a.m. shift, Miss Charlton had to
do all three shifts in order to
"learn the ropes." Learning the
job in fact includes a 90-day
training period. During this
period (and she is still in training)
she will not be allowed to go
anywhere, as in making rounds,
alone. This is standard
procedure, however, for male
security guards as well.

As of yet, Miss Charlton has
not been authorized to carry a
gun. To be authorized, she has to
take a one-week course at
Georgia Polytechnic Institute,
and then wait approximately six
months for her application to be
processed and certified by the
state. She has just received her

uniform, which is exactly like the
men's uniform, and she
remarked upon how glad she
was to receive it, since her
authority had been difficult to
enforce without it, especially in
re-routing cars going the wrong
way up the semi-circle.

Miss Charlton feels that the
basic advantage to being a
woman in this particular job is
her accessibility to the
dormitories, saying that Agnes
Scott definitely "needed a girl on
campus" in security. She also
felt, due to her age and sex, "I
can understand the women,"
their fears, as well as their
reasoning.

Four Agnes Scott College
students will participate in the
Southeastern Conference
College Bowl, which will be held
on Fri. and Sat., Feb. 27 and 28 at
Georgia Polytechnic institute.

The members of the Agnes
Scott team are Kate Kussrow,
Alice Lightle, Eleanor McCain,
Susan Pirkle, Anne Walker, and
Lynn Wilson. From these six, a
team of four with two alternates
will be chosen. Jack Nelson, as-
sociate professor of English, is
coaching the team. The team
practices every day except

Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. in the
conference room. Any further
applications for a position on the
team will be considered.

Volunteers are needed to
manage the team. Students are
urged to contribute questions
gathered from the Encyclopedia
Britannica or Associated Press.
These questions should be sub-
mitted to Box 940.

The Agnes Scott team once
defeated the Princeton College
team on the General Electric
College Bowl.

Creation of "self

J J

It is not a bad thing to be an idealist. An ideal can be a goal in itself, a
goal which gives purpose to action and application.

College is a four-year period of preparation, preparation for a
career, preparation for living with people other than one's own
family, preparation for taking a position in the world. More im-
portantly, college is a four-year period of becoming, becoming one's
own self. The molding of self is the most difficult task anyone can
face, and Agnes Scott College students are fortunate to have time in
which to develop this "self" in a quiet spot, apart from, yet a part of,
"the real world."

In becoming "self" one chooses an image from which to work. This
is in itself an ideal, for the model is an ideal person. As one molds
"self," he incorporates into it all the things which are important to
him, all his goals, his hopes, his dreams, his ideals.

The ideals one incorporates into "self" in the process of creation
are finally what defines that person and what gives lasting meaning to
his life. These ideals are the things that affect his interrelationships
with other people, the character of his achievements, the quality of
his life. Without ideals man would have been forgotten long before
he ceased to exist. But man is not forgotten.

The creation of "self" does not end with graduation; it is a process
that continues throughout a lifetime, a task that is never finished. The
smoothing away of the rough edges continues, and new ideals are
discovered through one's experiences.

We all should take the time that is available now to create and
polish "self". Such a perfect opportunity to choose one's ideals and
set a pattern for life may nevercome again. In the process of choosing
we may find that a bit more idealism may help to make realism more
bearable.

To the editor:

As a liberal arts college, Agnes
Scott is committed to certain
ideals, among which is one ex-
pressed by Thomas Jefferson
upon the founding of the
University of Virginia:

This institution will be based on
the illimitable freedom of the
human mind. For here we are
not afraid to follow the truth
whereever it may lead, not to
tolerate any error so long as
reason is left free to combat it.

In response to this com-
mittment, a group of students
has recognized a need on this
campus for affirming total
academic freedom (the freedom
to think and to share thoughts in
an open, questioning at-
mosphere) and for conveying
respect for all modes of religious
expression. The idea arose after
some of the discussions held
during CA's Focus on Faith

week; in fact, it's name the
Marketplace of Free Ideas
comes directly from a phrase
used by Dr. Al Winn throughout
the week.

The Marketplace of Free Ideas
is a weekly open forum for con-
sideration of various topics
current in Christian thought. The
gathering is open to the entire
campus community, and
students, faculty, and staff are
encouraged to attend. Though
informal discussion (and they are
informal!) the Marketplace of
Free Ideas hopes to exchange
ideas and consider the context of
what has been put forth from
Greek philosophers and modern
theologians, from Biblical
heritage and contemporary
writers.

A very special film series will
begin next Thursday at the High
Museum of Art. "Musicals of the
Forties and Fifties" will feature
six of the very best Arthur
Freed/MGM films, or the creme
de la creme de la creme: An
American in Paris, The Band
Wagon, Gigi, Singing in the Rain,
Meet Me in St. Louis, and
Showboat. They excel in every
category stars, songs, dancing,
scripts, costumes, sets, you name
it; and these classics will be
shown as they were meant to be
seen: on the big screen, in good
color, and without commercials.
That's entertainment!

The series begins with Meet
Me in St. Louis and Singing in the
Rain, starring Judy Garland and
Gene Kelly respectively. They
will be shown as a double feature
on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 19
and 20. The nostalgic St Louis is
the source of "The Trolley Song"
and "Have Yourself a Merry Lit-

tle Christmas." Rain, an affec-
tionate spoof of early
Hollywood, includes Donald
O'Connor's slapstick number
"Make 'em Laugh" as well as
Kelly's famous rendition of the
title song and his longer
"Broadway Ballet" with Cyd
Charisse.

The following week brings
American in Paris and Showboat,
again in double-feature format,
on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 26
and 27. American in Paris, which
received seven Oscars, including
Best Picture, and a special award
from the French government, is
an all-Gershwin film starring
Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.
There are songs like "I Got
Rhythm" and "Our Love is Here
to Stay"; Oscar Levant plays the
"Concerto in F"; and the film is
climaxed by the stunning
"American in Paris Ballet,"
Kelly's masterpiece. American is

Organist to teach
master class

The Agnes Scott Music
Department and the ASC Organ
Guild are sponsoring an organ
master class to be taught by the
prominent church musician, Dr.
Paul Callaway of Washington
Cathedral. The college com-
munity is invited to attend the
class in Maclean from 3:00 to
5:00 p.m. on Monday, February
15. Dr. Callaway will also play a
recital at All Saints Episcopal
Church on Tuesday, February 17
at 8:15 p.m., to which the public
is invited. A $2.00 donation is re-
quested.

Dr. Callaway has been organist
and choirmaster at Washington

Cathedral since 1939, and is res-
ponsible for preparing music for
the cathedral's 1,800 annual
services. He is also active in many
other musical events, such as
performances of oratorios by the
Cathedral Choral Society, which
he has directed since 1947. His
accomplishments include having
served as a guest conductor of
the National Symphony Orches-
tra and having played the solo
part in the world premiere of
Barber's "Toccata Festival" with
the Philadelphia Orchestra. He
has been heard in recital all over
the country, and he is a Fellow of
the American Guild of Organists.

beautifully mounted musicals
ever made. All in all, Showboat
can't help but suffer by com-
parison, and it is, with its sen-
timentality, the weakest of the
High's half-dozen as well. But
one number alone, Kern and
Hammerstein's "Old Man River"
as sung by William Warfield,
makes Showboat worth staying
on for, and there is in addition
Howard Keel's rich voice and the
Cotton Blossom riverboat herself
(lovingly built by the MGM art
department) to recommend it.

The series concludes on Thurs-
day and Friday, March 4 and 5
with The Band Wagon and Gigi.
The wittily-scripted Band Wagon
is one of Fred Astaire's best pic-
tures. His numbers include the
poignant "By Myself," the
upbeat "Shine on My Shoes,"
"Dancing in the Dark" with Cyd
Charisse, "I Guess I'll Have to
Change My Plans" with British
star Jack Buchanan, and "The
Girl Hunt Ballet," a marvelous
satire of hard-boiled detective
stories and one of Astaire's own
favorites. Gigi, like American in
Paris, is another lavishly-
produced Oscar winner (nine,
including Best Picture.) It stars
Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier,
Louis Jourdan, and Hermione
Gingold. Inspired by a story of
Colette's, it offers location
footage of Paris, costumes by
Cecil Beaton, and such Lerner
and Loewe delights as "The
Night They Invented Cham-
pagne" and "Thank Heaven for
Little Girls."

All showings will be held in
Hill Auditorium beginning at
8:00 p.m. Prices are $2.00
(general), $1.50 (student with
I.D.), and $1.00 (museum
members). Each film is highly
recommended, and this series is
almost too good to be true.
Don't miss it.

In talking with her, it is easy to
tell that Miss Charlton is not from
south Georgia. She grew up in
Boston and came to Atlanta ap-
proximately four years ago with
her family, when her father was
transferred here with Delta. So
far, she "loves" Agnes Scott, and
lists one reason as the old
buildings, which remind her of
Boston.

Miss Charlton had an early
interest in police work; in fact, in
her spare time, she used to ride
in patrol cars, picking up hints
about what all the job entailed.
She is currently at Clayton Junior
College, from which she will
graduate next quarter with a ma-
jor in Criminal Justice. Miss
Charlton has had extensive train-
ing-and schooling in police work.
Courses she is currently taking,
and has taken, include a course
called CPR, which she describes
as "basic first aid", gun ranger,
police management, political
science (which she enjoyed very
much), and lots of basic law.

As for the future, Miss
Charlton wants very much to
eventually go into professional
police work. When asked if she
would ever like to be a private
detective (like "Mannix"), she
laughed and said, no, she
wouldn't, "there's no need to be

that secret.

Is it more difficult for women
to get into police work than
men? Miss Charlton answered a
very definite yes to this, saying
that a woman must start out very
slowly and at the bottom,
whereas a man would have not
nearly such difficulty es-
tablishing himself in police work.
She speaks from experience
her boyfriend is a policeman.
Does he ever feel threatened or
competitive since she too has
chosen police work as her
vocation? Not at all, replied Miss
Charlton; in fact, he is very sup-
portive and very proud and "is
always encouraging me." He
gave her a 3.57 Magnum for
Christmas.

Miss Charlton feels that the
reputation of police has in
general improved over the past
few years. This is due, she said, to
the "police getting into the com-
munity more," out of uniform,
getting to be good neighbors.
Knowing police as people will
hopefully lessen the more or less
general public fear of them.

When asked what the main
reason was behind her great
desire to go into police work,
Miss Charlton simply said, "I
mostly want to help people, be
with people, you know?"

Moments Remembered

An unidentified seeker
of psychological truth drew
on the classroom blackboard
a picture of the professor,
consisting of a circle with two
strands of hair on top. The
class waited in suspense for
the entrance of Professor
Stukes. Then he walked in,
ambled over to the
blackboard, picked up the
eraser and erased one of the
two strands of hair, and began
to call roll.

An estimated one and a half
million young adults are victims
of multiple sclerosis. A

mysterious, debilitating crippler
for which there is no known
cause or cure, seems to come
from nowhere to strike at young
people in their prime years. But

through the efforts of the
National Multiple Sclerosis
Society, and the contributions of

carying people, a massive
research program is under way.

A major health problem,
multiple sclerosis is a greater
crippler than polio ever was.

On Thursday, February 19
there will be a campus-wide
Mother Goose party in the Hub
at 10:00 p.m. Contestants will
attend in costume and the
winner will be announced.

Creative Arts Production presented

The Creative Arts Production
for Sophomore Parents
Weekend will have as its theme,
"Discovery." This theme was
decided upon by a committee of
sophomores, Mimi Holmes,
Linda Kimbrough, Margaret
Lamberson, Mary Lipscomb and
Susan Smith, who felt that the
time one spends in college is a
period of discovery.

To reflect this idea the produc-
tion will be divided into three
main parts, Discovery of En-
vironment, Discovery of Others
and Discovery of Self. The

Madrigals and the Dance Group
will perform as an exampleof the
things a student discovers about
her environment. The discovery
of others will be demonstrated
by a presentation by the
Blackfriars and a performance by
a bluegrass trio composed of
Susie Gomez, Nancy Guerro and
Sarah Latture. Individual talent
will be featured as the part of the
program, Discovery of Self.

Catherine McLaughlin will
perform a Scottish dance, and
Safak Yaprak, accompanied by
Kathleen O'Brien on the piano,
will sing.

Mimi Holmes and Linda Kim
brough are the co-directors of
the production, and Bill Evans is
the faculty advisor.

According to Linda Kim-
brough, the Creative Arts
Production is intended "to let
parents know what Agnes Scott
has to offer us."

The production will be
presented in two special shows
for the campus community at
7:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. on
Thurs., Feb. 26. The production
will be repeated for sophomores
and their parents at 7:30 p.m. and
8:45 p.m. on Fri., Feb. 27.

February 26-27

the Friday night performances
are open only to the sophomores
and their parents. The theme this

year is a tour of the United
States. All performances are

College coalition
survey released

The results of the in-depth
survey of women's colleges in
which Agnes Scott participated
have been released by the
Women's College Coalition. The
Coalition's member-college
survey was taken during
December 1975 and January
1976, with a questionnaire dis-
tributed to 72 colleges
nationwide.

Forty-seven private colleges,
27 independent and 20 church
related, and two public ones res-
ponded to the survey, for a total
response group of 49. In-
formation was sought in such
areas as curriculum, continuing
education, athletics, career sup-
port services, and the presence
of women in teaching, ad-
ministrative and Board positions.

The survey reveals that the
percentage of women faculty
members at women's colleges is
two and one-half times the
national average for all
institutions of higher education.
At the top of the academic ranks,
the comparison is more outstan-
ding: the percentage of women
with the rank of full professor in
the women's colleges is more
than four times the national
average. Other key findings from
the survey are: financial aid for
the "older woman" or con-
tinuing education student is
available at nearly three-quarters
of the colleges. And at half of the
colleges, that aid is available to
continuing education students
who are part-time. More than
half of the responding colleges
indicate their fastest growing
major to be in one of these four

career-related fields: Business
Administration, Biology,
Economics and Nursing. The
survey further states that 96 per
cent of the responding colleges
have courses on women in their
curriculum and that there is
intercollegiate athletic
competition at more than 90 per
cent of the responding colleges,
with an average of five
intercollegiate sports at each
college. Athletic scholarships are
offered by 12 per cent.

The high participation of
women revealed by the survey is
noticeable throughout teaching,
administrative and trustee
positions. Women, at the
colleges surveyed, constitute 56
per cent of all faculty, 42 per cent
of all professors, 54 per cent of all
presidents, 71 per cent of all
academic deans, 22 per cent of
all business managers, 33 per
cent of all development officers
and 45 per cent of all Board
members.

Comparable figures for
percentages of teaching women
in all institutions (developed by
the American Association of
University Professors, for
academic year 1974-1975) show
women as 10.1 per cent of all
professors and 22.5 per cent of
individuals in all teaching ranks.

The Women's College
Coalition is a voluntary as-
sociation of women's colleges
from 22 states and the District of
Columbia. Its work is done in
cooperation with the As-
sociation of American Colleges.

Editorial

Academic pressure

No one will deny that there is a feeling of constant pressure in the
modern world, and sometimes it seems to students that the pressure
at Agnes Scott College is more than any human can bear. But most
students do survive and go on to face another quarter of pressure.

Like the prison inmate who concentrates all his energy on making it
through one day at a time, we concentrate all our energy on making it
through one quarter at a time. We promise ourselves that "next
quarter will be easier" and "after exams I go home and collapse for
the length of the break." We also hear, although we try to ignore it,
that tiny nagging voice that says, "next quarter may not be easier"
and "after the break you will be going through all this again."

Students often think that they are the only ones who are concerned
with the pressures of an academic life, but when those pressures are
evident in a general lowering of achievement, the faculty members
recognize the fact that something is wrong. The faculty is presently
investigating the causes of the sense of overbearing pressure students
seems to be experiencing this quarter. Through a joint effort of the
students and faculty, perhaps this pressure can be lightened.

The grades for most courses are the result of midterm and final ex-
ams and a paper or two. If this is a student's first experience in a
Professor's class, she naturally will be apprehensive about the way he
grades and the type of tests he gives. After the first paper and the
midterm, she will know what to expect from him, but by that time half
of her grade has been determined. This system also concentrates
most of the pressure of the quarter on the two-week period at mid-
quarter and the week before exams. If professors assigned two or
three tests per quarter in addition to a final and three or four papers
instead of one or two, especially in a one-quarter course, some of the
pressure felt by the students might be lightened.

Some of the panic felt by students is caused by a need for greater
self-discipline. Most students know what is expected of them in a
course at the beginning of the quarter. Sometimes it seems im-
possible to keep up with a syllabus, but a determined student can
usually manage it. By planning ahead and applying self-discipline, a
student may be able to spread the work evenly over the quarter and
avoid the feeling of being crushed by her work load.

Students are always concerned with academic pressure, and now,
while the faculty is actively concerned with the problem, is the op-
portune moment for the entire campus to become involved in a
collective effort to discover the causes of pressure and to attempt to
solve the problem. There will always be pressure on scholars, for it is
impossible to learn all there is to be learned in one lifetime, but
perhaps the feeling of hopelessness that often accompanies the pres-
sure at Agnes Scott can be alleviated.

President Ford stepped up his
campaign against Republican
challenger Ronald Reagan this
past weekend. The President
stated that his record backs up
his claims as being a "moderate
Republican", who maintains a
"philosophy" that is necessary to
win. Anything to the extreme
right of that philosophy can't win

a national election . Florida's
March 9th primary is regarded as
Reagan's best hope for an early
victory that will help establish his
credentials as a serious
contender. The Ford camp
believes an all-out effort to beat
Reagan in Florida could end
Reagan's candidacy.

The information was contained
in documents voluntarily sub-
mitted to the Securities and Ex-

As of this writing, there's not
much happening in town movie-
wise, except the previously des-
cribed MGM-musicals series
now at the High Museum. Sothis
space seems better used for a
look at the small screen. As usual,
there's a variety of good viewing
on Channel 8, the University of
Georgia's PBC affiliate.

Recently started are reruns of
an excellent British series, The
Six Wives of Henry VIII, at 1 1 p.m.
on Fridays. This week's
installment, the second, is one of
the very best: "Anne Boleyn,"
with the gifted actress Dorothy
Tutin as Anne to Keith Mitchell's
Henry. Each show is essentially
self-contained, so don't worry if
you've missed the first one.

Elixer
to be
performed

Donizetti's "Elixer of Love"
will be presented in Presser Hall,
8:15 p.m. on February 25.

The City of Decatur and Agnes
Scott College are sponsoring the
performance. Tickets may be
purchased at the Decatur
Recreation Department,
Callanwolde Art Shop, Music
City, Ansley Mall, and through
the mail by sending $3.00 for
adults, $2.00 for students to
Decatu r Recreation
Department, 231 Sycamore
Street, Decatur 30030.

Sung in English, this Bel Canto
is staged by Victoria Holder,
designed by Luis Maza of Atlan-
ta, and under the musical direc-
tion of Edward Bradbury.

The story involves a tangled
love triangle that gets untangled
with the use of an inheritance
and a magic love potion. The
time and setting for this produc-
tion have been moved from 18th
century Italy to an antebellum
plantation in Georgia.

Credit for the Augusta Opera
Association tour goes to the
National Endowment for the
Arts, and the Southeastern
Federation of State Art Agencies.
The Augusta Opera Association
is the smallest opera company to
receive grant from the National
Endowment for the Arts.

Another series easily joined
although it's already in progress
is Leonard Bernstein at Harvard:
The Unanswered Question, in
which Bernstein directs the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra and
the Vienna Philharmonic for
musically-illustrated lectures.
Airtime is 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

Also scheduled for the twenty-
eight is the first in a series of
three "Saturdays with the
Golddiggers," a salute to the
high camp of Busby Berkeley.
The opening film is Golddiggers
of 1933 with Dick Powell and
Ruby Keeler. Numbers include
the "Shadow Waltz," replete
with Berkeley's then-
revolutionary overhead camera
work, and "We're in the
Money," in which Depression
blues are chased away by an

aggressively cheerful chorus line
clad only in some strategically-
placed handfuls of loose change.

On Sunday the twenty-ninth at
8 p.m. comesoneof the most fas-
cinating episodes of Nova, a
well-written science series. The
show is "Why Do Birds Sing?", in
which the avian melodies that
have stirred so many poets are
revealed to be, oftimes, a matter
of swearing, squabbling, or self-
proclamation. Other subjectsex-
plored include bird dialects
(that's right, bird dialects). Hap-
pily, the show never becomes
unfeelingly clinical, tempering
its presentation of scientific
knowledge with appreciation, as
well as wonder at the mysteries
that remain.

Coping offers help
for women alone

by Margaret Lamberson

Martha Yates, Editor of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly,
is the author of a new book:
Coping A Survival Manual for
Women Alone. Mrs. Yates, a
widow and mother of four, offers
tips and advice on a variety of
subjects for any woman alone in
today's world.

More and more women, as the
head of their own household,
are having to make decisions
which have traditionally fallen to
men. Unfortunately, few women
have been given the training and
preparation necessary to make
these decisions accurately and
with confidence. Mrs. Yates'
book is for this type of woman,
and, if no better source of aid
and information is available, it
could prove to be a great deal of
help.

This book is necessarily limited
in the help it can provide,
however, because each in-
dividual will have unique
problems which no author could
entirely anticipate. The greatest
virtue in this particular book is
that it refers the individual on to
more precise information or to
persons who can provide such
information.

As a result of the factual nature
of this book, it doesn't exactly
provide one with scintillating
reading material. The style is
unoffensive and clear, which is

totally appropriate if not
particularly imaginative. If you
have questions on how to cope
with anything from income tax to
sex, you will probably find this
book most helpful. If not, may I
recommend War and Peace?

From

The Agnes Scott News
January 21, 1948

At a Georgia Public Interest
Research Group (G-PIRG)
retreat held in January at Berry
College, students from the
University of Georgia, Mercer,
Emory, Agnes Scott, Georgia
Tech and Berry, along with
several faculty members and
PIRG attorney Mary Carden,
spent one weekend working to
"reach a mutual understanding"
of methodology and philosophy
aimed toward constructive
student-citizen action in
Georgia.

In explaining how a relatively
small group of students can
make significant changes, Peter
Petkas. director of the Southern
Governmental Monitoring Pro-
ject, tried to dispel the
"mythology of expertise" which
is deeply implanted in the minds
of many Americans. Petkas said
that with a basic understanding
of citizens' rights to access of in-
formation and the workings of
bureaucracy, "any concerned
citizen" can overcome the
"myth" that only city hall of-
ficials and big business
"specialists" have the expertise
to make decisions on citizen is-
sues. Petkas also noted that
citizens groups like PIRG can
have a "tremendous amount of
leverage" and impact with basic
research in pressing social
problem areas. Petkas then
added that by hiring a full time
professional staffperson and
volunteering their time to testify
citizen interests in the legislative
process, student contributors to
PIRG have "increased the public
interest lobby in Georgia by 25
percent."

David Hoak, SGA President at
Mercer University, stated that in
a modern society with complex
problems of increasing
proportions students must
realize that they can "participate
in the system" to make changes
in accord with their values.

All of the students from the six

colleges represented agreed that
students should begin
"regrouping" to make major
curriculum improvements a
primary aim of the student
movement.

At each of the PIRG campuses
over the past year, students have
been trying to improve the
college academic process by
designing class research projects
which relate to "real problems"
in the community.

At a Georgia PIRG State Board
meeting held at the retreat, the
students agreed to commit
themselves to a statewide cam-
paign to pass tenant reform bills
and energy conservation
legislation in this session of the
Georgia General Assembly. The
students and staff of PIRG have
been conducting research in
these areas since last summer.

Other project areas PIRG is
now actively involved in include
prison reform, hunger and
malnutrition, nuclear power
investigations, water pollution
analysis, and a lobby against the
controversial Trotters Shoals
(Richard B. Russell) Dam. The
group is also considering a
statewide investigation of pres-
cription drug pricing practices,
which have increasingly been
under fire from consumer
groups across the country.

In addition, the G-PIRG Board
unanimously voted to campaign
for an over-ride of President
Ford's expected veto of the Con-
sumer Protection Act. The Act
would establish an "anti-
bureaucratic" non-regulatory
advocacy agency to counter the
testimony of corporate lobbyists
before other federal regulatory
agencies. G-PIRG President Tim
Johnson stated that Ford's own
consumer protection plan would
create more bureaucracy and
cost taxpayers millions of dollars
more than the new independent
consumer advocacy agency
would.

Course changes for the spring
quarter will be made on Monday
and Tuesday, February 23 and 24.
Any requests for section changes
in year or two-quarter courses
must also be made on these
dates. F resh men and
sophomores who wish to make
changes will see Mrs. Hudson;
juniors, seniors, and non-
traditional students will see Mrs.
Petty. Hours are: 9-12; 2-4, Of-
fice of the Dean of the Faculty.

No additional changes for the
spring quarter will be made until
after the beginning of the
quarter.

Vladimir Volkoff, Assistant
Professor of French and Russian,
is working on a project entitled
"One Hundred Geniuses". The
amount of research to be done
exceeds the possibilities of one
individual, and he would be
happy to obtain some help from
interested students. The project
would then become a collective
one.

The work participants would
be asked to do would consist of

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030-

February 27, 1976

Alumnae march to the sea Dr. Maier to speak

Agnes Scott College Alumnae
will travel the route of Sherman's
march to the sea for a history
seminar March 5-7. Dr. Bell I.
Wiley, Civil War historian and
historian - in - residence at Agnes
Scott, will guide the study tour.

The group will hear in-
troductory remarks by Dr. Wiley
before leaving the Agnes Scott
campus early Friday morning,
March 5, for Milledgeville, the
capitol of Georgia during the
Civil War. Dr. J. C. Bonner,
professor emeritus of history at
Georgia College and member of
the Georgia Heritage Trust, will
give a short talk on Milledgeville
and will ride through the historic
district with the group. The

group tour through the
Governor's Mansion (1838-1868)
will be led by Curator Mary Jo
Thompson.

Continuing to follow
She rman's March, the group will
arrive in Savannah in theevening
and hear a lecture by Professor
John Duncan of Armstrong
College. They will spend Satur-
day touring historic areas, such
as the Owen-Thomas House, the
Davenport House, and Fort
Pulaski. On Sunday, the Seminar
participants will visit historic
Madison before returning to
Decatur.

Dr. Wiley was professor of his-
tory at Emory University from
1949-1974. He has also been a

Fulbright lecturer of American
history in Korea and a lecturer
for the U.S. Department of State
in Europe and Australia. This past
fall he was the Mellon Visiting
Professor in the Humanities at
Tulane University.

He is the author of many books
on Civil War history. His two
latest published in 1975, are The
Common Soldier of the Civil War
and Confederate Women.
Among his other books are The
Life of Johnny Reb: The Com-
mon Soldier of the Confederacy,
The Life of Billy Yank: The Com-
mon Soldier of the Union, and
The Road to Appomattox.

Students enter southeastern bowl

Four students from Agnes
Scott will take part in the Seventh
Annual Southeastern In-
vitational College Bowl which
will be held on Fri., Feb. 27 and
Sat., Feb. 28 in the Georgia Tech
Student Center. The team will
consist of Kate Kussrow, Alice
Lightle, Eleanor McCain, Susan
Pirkle, Anne Walker, and Lynn
Wilson. A four member team
with two alternates will be
selected from these six. Jack
Nelson, associate professor of
English, is coaching the team.

Competition will begin at 6
p.m. Friday on the third floor of

the Georgia Tech Student Center
and will continue until 9 p.m.
The games will resume at 9 a.m.
the following morning. The
championship round will be
played from 11:45 a.m. until
12:30 p.m. Saturday and will be
held in the Student Center
Theater.

The matches will be similar to
those of the nationally televised
C. E. College Bowl. The official
source for all Bowl questions will
be the Encyclopedia Britannica
III, with the exception of current
events which will be taken from
Associated Press releases. Each

round will contain questions
from the following categories:
science and math, fine arts and
architecture, literature, history
and geography, current events,
and philosophy.

Schools from all over the
southeast will participate. Each
school's team will play all the
other teams in round robin
manner. Each round will last
thirty minutes. The overall
winner of the competition will
be the team with the best win-
loss record. The winning team
has the right to host next year's
competition.

Fire drill is successful

The fire drill that took place in
Buttrick Hall on the morning of
February 19, 1976, was an orderly
success. People took the drill
seriously. They proceeded
rapidly and without hesitation.
There were only a few doors left
open to the halls.

According to Chief Harry
Johnson, Decatur Fire
Department, three minutes is the
maximum safe time it should
take to evacuate a building. But-
trick was evacuated in 90
seconds.

Chief Johnson made a few

suggestions that would help im-
prove the effectiveness of future
fire drills:

1. Once on the outside, try and
account for all the people who
were in class.

2. Assign someone to check
the bathrooms.

3. Close all doors, offices as
well as class rooms.

4. Leave the lights and win-
dows as they are; exit as quickly
as possible.

5. After the building is
evacuated, have all groups move
around to the front of the build-

ing to the center of the
quadrangle. This will allow them
to hear the report and sugges-
tions of the Fire Marshal and
allow fire fighting equipment
access to fire hydrants.

It was also noted that everyone
should plan to return to class if a
fire drill takes place at the begin-
ning or during a class period.

Chief Johnson said that in
evaluating the fire drill in But-
trick Hall, he would rate it high
because of the seriousness and
efficiency of the people who
participated in the drili.

on American Revolution

American historian Dr. Pauline
Maier will speak on "Understan-
ding the Revolution: A Problem
in Historical Imagination" March
3 here. The free, public lecture is
at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

Dr. Maier is associate profes-
sor of history at the University of
Massachusetts, Boston, and
author of the book, "From Resis-
tance to Revolution: Colonial
Radicals and the Development
of American Opposition to
Britain, 1765-1776." This volume,
published in 1972, was favorably
reviewed in the New York Times
as "a superbly detailed account
of the ideological escalation of
the decade from 1765 to 1776 that
brought Americans into
revolution."

A graduate of Radcliffe
College, Dr. Maier was a

Fulbright Scholar at the London
School of Economics, University
of London, in 1960-61.

Dr. Maier's attitude toward
history is revealed, among other
places, in reviews she has wn'ten
on children's books on the
American Revolution for the
New York Times. In one such set
of reviews entitled, "Re-creating
the Revolution," November,
1974, she states, "Understanding
the past is an act of imagination,
an exercise of a controlled fan-
tasy."

As for the American
Revolution, she has said, "The
Revolution, was above all, a
political event; one so im-
prisoned by cliches and
mythology that restoring it to
comprehensible proportions is
particularly difficult."

GCPA institute
held in Athens

Julia Midkiff, editor of the
Agnes Scott Profile, was elected
secretary of the Georgia College
Press Association at the annual
Georgia Press Association
Institute in Athens. The Institute
was held at the University of
Georgia on February 20 and 21.

Students representing junior
and senior colleges from all over
Georgia, including Julia Midkiff,
Libby Myre and Sandra Saseen of
the Profile, attended a speech by
syndicated columnist James
Jackson Kilpatrick and wrote a
news story from that speech for a
reporting contest. They also
attended a panel discussion en-
titled "Is Big Necessarily Better?"

The panel of professional
journalists agreed that it is better
for the beginning reporter to
start out with a small, weekly
newspaper than with a largo,
metropolian daily.

An awards banquet held Fri-
day night was followed by a keg
and band party.

On Saturday morning the
students attended workshops
led by professional newspaper
journalists dealing with topics in-
volved in feature writing, lay-out
and design, editorial and column
writing, writing under deadline
pressure. staff relations,
photography, sports writing and
cartoons arid illustrations.

Editorial

Office hours

It is a common belief that Agnes Scott College offices close at 11 :30
a.m. every day for at least half an hour to enable and encourage
faculty, staff and students to attend meetings held during chapel
times. This belief is false.

The fact is, there are some campus offices which remain open dur-
ing chapel time every day. Not only do these offices prevent the
attendance of their staff members at meetings held at these times,
they also prevent the attendance of their student employees at such
meetings.

A few offices close during Wednesday chapels, but are open on the
other four days of the week. The people who work in the offices are
not free to attend class meetings on Mondays, Christian Association
chapels on Tuesdays, Student Government Association meetings on
Thursdays or special chapels on Fridays, but they are allowed time off
for formal and informal convocations.

No student should be denied the privilege of attending meetings
because she is receiving financial aid. It is not the purpose of the
financial aid program to restrict the activities of scholarship students,
but that is essentially what is being done. It is truethat many students
do not object to missing meetings, but it is the responsibility and the
duty of all campus offices to encourage students to attend these
meetings.

Faculty and staff members might benefit by attending campus
meetings themselves. It is often disappointing to note how few
faculty and staff members attend the meetings that are not formal
Wednesday convocations. If the people who have been here for
years and will be here for many more take so little interest in what is
going on, it is no wonder that so many students become lax in their
involvement, also.

Why should not every campus office close from 11 :30 a.m. to noon
every day? That half-hour of business is certainly not more important
than becoming involved in Agnes Scott College.

I met a man today
Nice enough as it goes-
But ignorant in his experiences.
He was surprised and he began to say,
"I'll be a dumb nigger!"

He remembered I was there
And apologized.
He said he was over my age
Before he discovered that "nigger"
Was a bad word.

He always thought of it as a regular word
Like "hello" or "goodbye."

Now he said, he didn't know what to use

"I say Negro" he said, and they say "Black!"

"I say "Black" he said, and they say "Negro/

The woman next to us asked me-

"What do you prefer?"

I thought for a while and said

"Names are best."

We introduced ourselves
And shook hands.

other.

On the way out he said to the woman-
"When I'm around smart people, I feel humble."
He was an honestly ignorant man, and he knew it.

I saw a woman once,
On a park bench in the New York Zoo.
She was sleeping in a house dress with no pants on
Her legs were up and people stared
I wondered, who is she? What was wrong?
Why does she sleep on the bench-
With no pants on?
But then, I glanced too.

For Friends
I'll teach you and you teach me
We're learning to be fully human.
What was the first thing that released the barrier
Between two people?
I do not remember
But it was a conscious effort.

If I have withdrawn at times
From our friendship
Remember, this is new to me.

I offer you my concern and my love.
Take care of yourself for you are irreplaceable.

Dear Editor:

As a member of the Physical
Education Department it is my
duty to be aware of the students'
physical needs and to share with
them the pleasures and disap-
pointments surrounding athletic
events. Just such an experience is
what prompts this letter.

Last Thursday night AA

scheduled a basketball game in
which both students and
faculty/staff were to participate.
However, so few faculty/staff
showed an interest that the game
had to be cancelled. Many
students, as a result, were quite
disappointed.

Most members of the faculty
have many demands made upon

them, but it is important that all
of us realize that something as
seemingly unimportant as a joint
basketball game allows the
students to interact with the
faculty on a level not possible in
the classroom. I hope that if
similar events are planned in the
future the faculty/staff will be
more willing to participate.

by Liz Hornsby
With its un-splashy ads and its
cast of virtual unknowns, Hester
Street is a movie you might easily
overlook. Well, don't. Its ex-
terior is indeed modest, but
there is nothing modest about its
merits. It isa very good littlefilm:
perceptive, well-crafted, and
charming.

The story is set in 1896 in New
York City, in the world of the
Jewish immigrant community.

Raffish young Jake, a self-made
Yiddish-Yankee, is happily en-
joying the golden opportunities
of America (including an affair
with an aspiring Gibson-girl
type), when he receives news
from the old country of his
father's death. Moved by a sense
of loneliness tinged with guilt at
his drift away from his heritage,
he is prompted to send for his
wife Gitl, a shy, wideyed girl, and
his young son. With their arrival
in the new land, the film centers
on Gitl's experiences with what is
tidily called "culture shock." Her
husband finds her provincialism
and piety to be embarrassing,
irritating, and an unwitting
reproach to his changed

personality, and Gitl's awkward,
largely ill-fated attempts to ad-
just to America to please him are
poignantly drawn. Jake and Gitl's
story resolves itself with someth-
ing of a twist, it not a complete
surprise, and comes off as a kind
of fable with a moral of virtue
rewarded. The turn of events is
skillfully managed, presented
plausibly and without any pom-
pous didacticism, either overt or
covert. It is altogether a most
satisfactory happy ending, a rare
treat in a film. .

Good characterization is ob-
viously important in a film like
Hester Street, and both the cast
and Joan Macklin Silver's script
assure quantities of this quality.

While not condoning, one can
still understand the tugging am-
bition that makes Jake (Stephen
Keats) such a heel; and although
Gitl doesn't talk much, Carol
Kane's acting is eloquent
enough to have won her a "Best
Actress" Oscar nomination. The
supporting players are fine, too
characters like the vamp, the
scholarly boarder, and the med-
dlesome neighbor never

become stereotypes, but are
seen as multi-dimensional
people.

Hester Street is also rich in oc-
casional wry humor and in
wonderful vignettes (Gitl's first
encounter with a corset; the tour
of the neighborhood Jake gives
his son, during which a woman
plucking chickens blows a
handful of feathers intotheairto
amuse the little boy), and in its
beautifully created setting,
which is authentically evocative
rather than slickly nostalgic, as in
so many period pictures. Black
and white film is used to
heighten the sense of time, and is
effectively reminiscent of
daguerrotypes. Furthermore,
leisurely pacing by Joan Macklin
Silver (she directs too) steeps the
viewer in the Hester Street en-
vironment.

Hester Street is thoroughly
appealing, a film one can savor. It
is a small movie and a quiet one,
but its bright little glow easily
outshines the glitter of the ma-
jority of big Hollywood pictures
now in town.

Rep Report

Flagpole's absence
announced at Rep

Sarah Marshall pointed out at
the Student Government As-
sociation Rep Council meeting
of February 24 that Agnes Scott
College has no flagpole or flag.
One of her constituents had
suggested that Rep might con-
sider purchasing and installing a
flagpole somewhere on campus.
Janie Sutton, president of SGA,
appointed Sarah to be in charge
of investigating the costs of a
flagpole and flag and reporting
on the matter to Rep in the
future.

Carol Corbett reported that
one suggestion for paying for
any beer served at the SGA elec-
tion returns party is that people
donate money for that purpose

when they vote. The Board of
Student Activities will vote on
whether or not to provide funds
for the beer at their next
meeting. After the problem of
securing funds has been inves-
tigated Rep will decide whether
or not to serve beer at the elec-
tion returns party.

Cindy Hodges, secretary of
SGA, announced that the ballot
for student government offices
will be posted the weekend of
March 7 and March 3 is the final
scratch date.

The campus parking com-
mittee did not have a report
ready, so the parking problem
will be discussed by Rep on
March 2.

Moments Remembered

To The Editor:

Although Princeton Seminary
and Princeton University share
the same name in the same town,
the relation between the two can
be called cordial but by no
means intimate.

Moreover, the Seminary has
two students who claim a certain
Southern college for women as
their alma mater.

Therefore, I am not betraying
my fellows by sharing with you a
relatively inside picture of the
wonderful event which
happened Sunday. (Scott's
College Bowl victory over
Princeton, of course.)

During my usual Sunday
afternoon trek to Princeton
University Firestone Library
(ours was closed of course), I
stopped by the PU Student
Center to grab a bite to eat and
watch the College Bowl.

As the 5:30 hour grew near,
"Whoever heard of Agnes Scotf
College?" was perhaps the most
common joke as about three
score grubby PU students
jammed themselves in the
smoke-filled TV room before a
huge color TV.

As the girls from Agnes $cott
College were announced, the
names were barely audible
amidst the roar of hisses and
boos which permeated the
room.

The calm, confident PU team
members were welcomed with
joyous shouting as they prepared
to slaughter the obviously
nervous, trembling girls from
that unknown Southern school.

It looked like a runaway as the
PU boys jumped to an early le^ad
with gleeful grunts and raucous
laughter from loyal supporters in
the TV room. But wait! The
Southern girls tied the score,
then surged ahead to a 100-60
lead at the intermission.

The atmosphere was tense and
a pin-dropping silence flooded
the room as the second half
started.

The Tigers regained their old
form and soon claimed the lead.
With renewed confidence the
PU boys soared to a com-
manding 185-130 score, and the
viewers relaxed as the game
appeared to be in the bag.

The team members from PU
seemed to relax, too, and to
forget about the buzzers. The
girls responded to the final
barrage of questions with great
finesse.

It was pure joy to hear Betty
answer "Calvin" after the boys
earlier had displayed such
ignorance of Augustme and
Luther.

The irony of ironies and the
crucial blow to the boys came as
Scott shouted "Einstein" and the
man doubtless rolled over in his
grave.

The halls of ivy turned from
green to a shriveled brown.
Albert Einstein, former Professor
of the Princeton Institute for Ad-
vanced Studies, walked the
streets of Princeton daily during
the last years of his life, and his
home is little more than a stone's
throw from the Graduate
College of Princeton University.

The boys from Princeton van-
quished the girls from Mt.
Holyoke (one of those top
EASTERN girls schools) the week
before, but there was no joy in
Tigertown Sunday. Some
comments I overheard were:
"The ignominy of it all." "How
humiliating!" "Mmmmmmm.
.Like those Southern girls!"

"Whoever heard of Agnes
Scott College?" is a question
Princeton boys will ask no more.
Congratulations!

eleven matches and lost only
four, three of whjjrh were lost by
a total of 25 points. Berry College
and Armstrong State College,
which placed first and second,

26 years of service Mott and PMCe C0ITie

Fred Lewis retires from ASC to Writer's Festival

Fred Lewis, engineering
supervisor, retired from Agnes
Scott February 26, 1976, after
having served the college for 26
years. During those years he had
served under Presidents
McCain, Austin, and Perry.

In an interview with a Profile
reporter, Mr. Lewis remarked
that he had seen "nothing but
changes in 26 years'' and that he
believed they were "definitely
for the better." When ques-
tioned about the people on cam-
pus he added: "people have
changed immensely. Young
people are smarter in this day
and time." He said he has found
the students, faculty, and staff to
be "very friendly" and has en-
joyed a "good relationship" with
the people on campus. Mr. Lewis
added with working with the
young people for years had kept
him feeling young.

When asked about his first ex-
periences on the campus in 1950,
Mr. Lewis had some interesting
stories to tell. He first started
work in the boiler room which
he "didn't like at first." Mr.
Jones, the only night watchman,
was working 7 days a week, and
he was asked if he would take
Mr. Jones' shift on Monday
nights so he could have one

night off. "I remember the worst
thing I had to do was to ask the
girls at 10:30 p.m. to leave their
boyfriends inside the cars and go
back to the dorms." Mr. Lewis
admitted that he was very glad to
join the maintenance
department after his long hours
in the boiler room.

During the interview, Mr.
Lewis revealed a philosophy of
life which has sustained him
through the years. "I have done a
lot of hard work here," he said,
"but I've enjoyed it." He added
that people should make work
"a game to be mastered. Don't
dread the work," he warned, "or

it goes hard with you. Every bad
situation can be straightened
out. There's a difference
between being worried and be-
ing concerned. If you're
concerned enough, you'll get it
done." His final comment was
that we should be calm in the
face of trouble.

When asked about his
retirement plans, Mr. Lewis said
that as soon as his son finishes
high school, he and his wife,
Lollie, would like to move to
their six acres of land in Walton
County. He presently enjoys
gardening at his home in
Decatur.

Reynolds Price and Michael
Mott will be the two principal
writers at the Agnes Scott
Writers' Festival April 1-2.

Reynolds Price is a professor of
English at Duke University. He is
the author of four novels: A Long
and Happy Life, A Generous
Man, Love and Work and The
Surface of Earth; two collections
of short stories: The Names and
Faces of Heroes and Permanent
Errors: and a book of essays:
Things Themselves. He has
served as writer-in-residence at
the University of North Carolina
(Chapel Hill), the University of
Kansas, the University of North
Carolina (Greensboro), and
Washington and Lee University.
Among his many prizes and
honors is the William Faulkner
Foundation Award. He is an ad-
visory editor for Shenandoah
Review.

Michael Mott is writer-in-
residence and lecturer in English
at Emory University. He is the
author of two novels: The
Notebooks of Susan Berry and
Helmet and Wasps; two
children's books: Master Entrick
and The Blind Cross: and over
200 poems in American, British,
and Canadian magazines, in-
cluding Poetry, Poem, En-
counter, The Southern Review,
The Kenyon Review, The Lon-
don Magazine, The Listener, and
The Georgia Review. Three
collections of his verse have

Reynolds Price

been published in England. A
third, "Absence of Unicorns,
Presence of Lions," is scheduled
for American publication early in
1976.

The prize for fiction this year
will be $100, and the same
amount will be awarded for
poetry. Eleanor Hutchens, an
alumna, has funded the prizes in
honor of her grandparents. Hun-
dreds of poems and and short
stories were submitted.

Profile/March 5, 1976

Last issue

This is the last issue of The Profile for winter quarter and the last is-
sue under its present editor. On this, the occasion of my swan song, I
would like to take the liberty of abandoning the universal editorial
tone and speak not as editor, but as student.

During the past two quarters I have learned a great deal from work-
ing with The Profile, about working with people, about Agnes Scott
College and the people who make Agnes Scott College what it is and
about myself. The most important thing I have learned is that nothing
and no one is infallible, not even The Profile, not even me.

A newspaper's first and most important objective is to keep its
readers informed of the events of the world in which they live. At a
college as intimate as Agnes Scott and with a staff as small as The
Profile's, the paper relies upon its readers' serving as news sources. I
thank you all for the cooperation and encouragement you have given
The Profile and for your patience with our mistakes.

To the editor:

The Decatur-DeKalb Housing
Authorities are actively seeking
volunteers to participate with
special enrichment programs for
elementary school children and
establishing a Big Sister Program
especially geared to pre-teen
and teenage girls. These
enrichment programs will begin
initially working with small
children with arts and crafts,
dramatics, and/or musical ac-
tivities with the idea of struc-
turing a full enrichment program
encompassing many varied ac-
tivities. The ultimate goal will be
to establish self-help and raise

the aspiration level of the
children in this target
population.

Each specific Program Activity
will be limited to one weekday
afternoon from approximately
3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The first target
group will be the children in the
Beacon Hill area of Decatur. Ac-
tivities will take place in the
Decatur Community Center on
Electric Avenue and Trinity
Service Center on Robin Street.
Any individual or organized
groups interested in participat-
ing in these programs please
contact Miss Marge Ammons,
Education Department, Agnes

Scott College, 373-2571. Further
information and specific details
will be outlined. The projected
date for these beginning ac-
tivities will be the first of April.

"The Sound of Music

News clips

Sunday night approximately half of the Agnes Scott College
student body devoted three and one-half precious hours to watching
"The Sound of Music." The floor of the T.V. room in the Hub was
carpeted with Scotties and their friends, and nearly every "private"
television on campus was tuned in to the popular musical. There
were exceptions, however (at least one loyal member of the "Star
Trek Fan Club" was engrossed in outer-space adventures), but a great
many students abandoned the worries of modern-day Agnes Scott
for the beauties of pre-World-War-ll Salzburg.

Watching T.V. was neither an abominable neglect of study, nor an
example of "goofing-off"; it was an expression of the idea that en-
joyment is as important as work. The very fact that so many students
would take time to watch a musical in this period of pre-exam panic
shows that the concept of a liberal arts education is alive and well at
Agnes Scott College.

We do not feel bound and enslaved by our books; we feel free to
take advantage of the opportunities for pleasure that surround us,
whether that pleasure be found in studying, in writing a paper, in
solving a chemistry problem, in going to the symphony or in wat-
ching "The Sound of Music." For three and one-half hours we were
able to forget the "clutch" of this hectic period, and hopefully that
light-hearted feeling that is the result of Sunday night's enjoyment
will endure throughout the remainder of winter quarter.

Georgia's former governor
Jimmy Carter won the first big
primary of the presidential race.
Carter finished in front by a con-
siderable margin in the New
Hampshire Democratic primary
with 30 per cent of the vote. Rep.
Morris Udall of Arizona was
second ^with 24 ^er cent, but
Carter got 13 of the 17 national
convention delegates. Sen. Birch
Bayh of Indiana ran third.

President Gerald Ford won by
a thin majority against former
Gov. Ronald Reagan of
California. Ford, with 51 percent
of the vote, captured 17 of the 21
delegates to the Republican
convention.

Quoted in the Journal-
Constitution, Carter said his win
put aside "once and for all" the

idea that a Southerner cannot be
elected president. He forecast
victory on the first ballot at the
Democratic convention. Carter
faces the Florida race March 9
against Gov. George Wallace of
Alabama.

The Senate Finance Com-
mittee rejected a presidential
plan to raise Social Security
payroll taxes by $3.3 billion next
year. The taxes have gone up this
year and are scheduled to go up
more next year under the terms
of earlier legislation. The new
raise was advocated by Ford to
help balance income and outgo
of the Social Security system.
Congressional Democrats said
the new tax increase would hurt
economic recovery and add to
inflation.

A Federal court panel ruled
unconstitutional a state law that
allows children to be placed in
mental institutions without a
hearing. The three-judge panel
said that there are still a lot of
people who treat mental hos-
pitals as dumping grounds.

Opening the 2Jth Congress of
the Soviet Communist Party,
party leader Leonid Brezhnev
declared, "We make no secret of
the fact that we see detente as
the way to create more favorable
conditions for peaceful socialism
and Communist construction,"
but he said accommodation
did not rule our Soviet support of
national liberation movements.

To Be Young, Gifted, and Black
is the third offering in the
Alliance Theatre's 1976 slate, and
it continues the high standards of
drama established by the
Alliance season's opener, The
Last Meeting of the Knights of
the White Magnolia. The play is a
stage tribute to playwright
Lorraine Hansberry, best known
for the award-winning Raisin in
the Sun. James Baldwin once
praised her work by observing,
"Never before, in the entire his-
tory of the American theatre,
had so much of the truth of black
people's lives been seen on the

To Be Young, Gifted, and Black
takes the form of an oral an-

the material includes scenes
from her plays (The Sign in
Sidney Grustein's Window and
Les Blancs in addition to Raisin in

arranged in roughly
chronological order, (the first act
runs from 1930 to 1959, and the
second from 1960 to 1965), which
helps to reveal Miss Hansberry's
growth as both person and
writer, and it ranges from
autobiography to fantasy, from
images of slavery to a scene from
Sean O'Casey, the Irish
playwright who profoundly in-
fluenced her work. To Be Young,
Gifted, and Black is well-
rounded and engaging, and it
makes one want to 4 see the plays
and read some of the other
works from which its sampling is
drawn.

The Alliance's production is a
good one. It is directed by Tina
Sattin, who appeared in the
original company of the play in
New York and who most recently
directed it at Lincoln Center. The
cast is comprised of Mimi Bes-
singer, Carlos Carasco, Philip
Pleasants, Lil Henderson, Peggy
Blow, Nancy LeBrun, and
Barbara Stokes, and all of them
give strong performances.

Predictably, the scenes from
the plays are most striking.
Standouts include those from
Raisin in the Sun, and a fragment
from an unfinished work, in
which a somewhat crochety
hermit (beautifully portrayed by
Philip Pleasants, alias Colonel

Glee clubs join
for music-making

The Columbia University Glee
Club, conducted by Greg Smith,
a Grammy Award-winning
authority on modern choral
music, will perform works by
American composer Charles Ives
on March 9 in a concert in
Presser at 8:15 p.m. The Agnes
Scott Glee Club, directed by Mr.
Mathews, will join Columbia for
parts of the program.

The program will include
works by Ives such as "Psalm
Ninety," "Circus Band,"
"Serenity" and "Son of a Gam-
bolier," which is the forerunner
of Georgia Tech's song, "Ram-
blin ' Reck." Other composers,
American and European, will
also be represented in the
concert.

Smith is a recognized authority
on the works of Charles Ives and
has gained wide acclaim in music
circles in the United States and
Europe for his experimental
programming and innovative
style. In addition to conducting
the Columbia University Glee

Club, he directs his own profes-
sional group, The Gregg Smith
Singers, who sang at the Fox
Theatre this February. He also
conducts choral clinics
throughout the country, in-
cluding Georgia. This past
January he conducted the All
State College Choir for the
conference of the Georgia Music
Educators Association at Jekyll
Island.

The Columbia University Glee
Club is primarily a men's chorus,
which in 1973, for the first time in
100 years, added women to sing
tenor parts. The Glee Club's ac-
tivities during any given year in-
clude a concert for New York
City performed downtown, a
spring tour and three or four
joint concerts with Eastern
colleges. In past years, the Club
has traveled to Europe, Puerto
Rico, Canada, Mexico and the
southern United States. This year
the group is touring the United
States in celebration of the
Bicentennial.

Magnolia) explains beauty and
music to a group of half-wild
children, the only other
survivors of a global cataclysm.
However, the less inherently-
dramatic parts of the play are, in
general, well handled, too. Oc-
casionally the staging becomes
over-dramatic or over-stylized,
and the music added in some
spots often detracts rather than
adds, but these are minor an-
noyances rather than serious
flaws. Taken as a whole, the
Alliance's To Be Young, Gifted,
and Black is quite an effective
production, and combined with
the play's own merits, makes for
a worthwhile and enjoyable
evening.

To Be Young, Gifted, and Black
will continue through March 13
at the Alliance Theatre. For
tickets, call 892-2414.

Sociologist to speak at Scott

"Will the Family Survive
Alternate Life Styles?"
Sociologist Bert N. Adams ad-
dresses this question March 8 at
Agnes Scott College. The free,
public lecture is at 8:15 p.m. in
Presser Hall.

Dr. Adams, professor of
sociology at the University of
Wisconsin, Madison, is known
for his studies on the family and
kinship. He is the author of three
widely read books, "The
American Family: A Sociological
Interpretation," "Kinship in an
Urban Setting" and "Readings
on the Sociology of the Family"
with Thomas Weirath.

He is president of the Family
Theory Workshop of the
National Council on Family
Relations. In addition to his
regular teaching responsibilities,
he lectures for the University of
Wisconsin Extension on such
subjects as "Women's
Liberation," "The Changing
Family" and "Values in Conflict:
The Social Impact." For the Ex-
tension, he was discussion leader
of a conference on "Housewives
and Economics" in 1974. He has
delivered papers at the White
House Conference on Aging,
1971 and the Gerontology
meetings, 1972. For the City of

Madison, he serves on the board
of directors of Family Service.

Dr. Adams' research interests
include, among others, mate
selection in the United States,
black families in the U.S., the
adaptation of kinship systems to
modernization, birth order and
aging.

One of his current research
projects is on Asians expelled
from Uganda. In 1973 he
received a two-year grant from
the National Science Foundation
to study these Asians who are
making new homes in Canada,
Britain and India. This study will
continue through this summer.

Students campaign in primary

by Ginny Lee
and Ginny Rockwell
Seven Agnes Scott students
spent the week of February 18-25
campaigning for Jimmy Carter in
the New Hampshire Presidential
Primary. Seniors Patty Avery and
Betty Ann Kelahan, Sophomores
Ginny Johnson and Carrie
Rolander and Freshmen Linda
Chupp, Ginny Lee and Ginny
Rockwell took a charter flight to
Manchester, New Hampshire,
with approximately 85 other
Georgia volunteers for Jimmy
Carter. Each volunteer paid his
own way; however,
cancellations enabled area
college students to travel at no
personal expense.

Teams of Georgia volunteers
were located in key areas
throughout the state. Agnes
Scott students did selective can-
vassing in the cities of Concord
and Nashua. Each volunteer can-
vassed approximately 70 houses
per day.

Highlights of the trip included
attending Georgia's former
governor Lester Maddox's press
conference attacking Jimmy
Carter and rubbing elbows and
shaking hands with Walter Cron-
kite, Harry Reasoner, John
Chancellor, Mike Farrell (of
television's M*A*S*H*) and Ed
Bradlee. Other exciting events
included a crowded Cartpr cam-

paign rally in Manchester, being
filmed on the job by an ABC
camera crew, chatting with
Carter and his family and atten-
ding the victory celebration on
Tuesday night. Volunteers were
pleased to note that Carter led in
the Democratic primary with
roughly 30% of the vote.

Students actively participated
in the entire Presidential cam-
paign experience: com-
municating with voters, com-
paring the candidates'
personalities and platforms and
exploring the role of the media
in the Presidential election
process.

Rep Report

Parietals passed by committee

Janie Sutton, president of
Student Government As-
sociation, announced that the
parietals RC was approved
unanimously by the Executive
Committee of the Board of
Trustees last week. Janie made
the announcement at the Rep
Council meeting of March 2. The
RC concerning open dorms will
go to the full Board for final ap-
proval in May.

Cathy Harris reported the
results of the campus-wide park-
ing survey. There are 372 parking

spaces available on campus. The
total number of cars registered
with the Security Office is 644. Of
these cars, 49 belong to
freshmen, 59 belong to
sophomores, 52 belong to
juniors, 89 belong to seniors, 53
belong to non-traditional
students, 39 belong to day
students and 303 belong to
faculty and staff. Some members
of the Agnes Scott community
have more than one car
registered.
An average of 269.3 spaces are

used per day. Of the 75 parking
spaces in the South Candler lot,
an average of four are used each
day. Students avoid using these
spaces because the lot is not
lighted.

One cause of the current park-
ing problem is that unregistered
vehicles are not always parked in
visitor parking places.

Sarah Marshall reported that a
flagpole for the campus would
cost approximately $2,000.

Moments Remembered

The United States Post Of-
fice has seen many comical
addresses in the mails, but
one of the best came to Agnes
Scott Library recently.

The address was "Mrs.
Agnes Scott Coll, Library,
Decatur, Georgia." The letter
from a popular magazine read
in part:

"Dear Mrs. Coll:

It's not often that I have the
pleasure or such a special
reason for writing a
personal note to one of our
subscribers.

But right now during
Preferred Subscribers Month

certain individually
selected subscribers in the
Decatur area (like yourself,
Mrs. Coll), can subscribe now
for 30% off."

The letter closes with the
assurance that "Naturally,
there's no need to send
money now, Mrs. Coll. Your
credit is fully approved and I'll
be pleased to arrange billing
at a later date."

There is no news concern-
ing whether or not Mrs. Coll
accepted the offer.

Exclusive

Scott Professors' private lives revealed

by The Staph

Mr. Dave Borr, one of the
renowned planners of the En-
vironmental Symposia was
arrested at his home by the
Decatur Police on April 1. He has
been charged with possession of
deadly spray aerosal cans. The
police were tipped off by the
drifts of wind which carried the
noxious odors into the Agnes
Scott campus and the greater
Decatur area.

Equally scandalousto the pres-
tige of the college was the arrest
of Mr. Gusty Cockroach's dog,
Smooter. Smooter has been
charged with possession of a
dangerous firearm. He was
dragged into custody after hav-
ing taken shots at legislators in
the capitol who voted against the
Gun Control Bill. Mr. Cockroach
and Smooter have declined
comment.

Both Mr. Borr and Smooter are
presently at large, having been
released on their own
recognizance.

Mrs. Dearest, Duncanesque
doyenne of Isadorable dancing,
has recently been involved in
desperate and diabolical
developments.

Dearest, a dependable, in-
dustrious disciplinarian of the
dance, was known to have daily
declaimed daringly that dancing
is a definite anti-depressant, or,

in other words, a dynamite
dithrambic drug.

The FBI has taken Mrs. Dearest
into custody, leaving her darling
descendant and dimunitive dog
in the care of their distressed
daddy.

It can only be hoped that Mrs.
Dearest's advocation of dance as
an antidote to despair and
disillusionment does not
delineate a disobedience of a
definitive drug standard.

Dearest's dancers, determined
to see justice endure, drove
defiantly downtown where they
staged a dance-in office hours at
the FBI domocile. Dearest's fate
will be determined in due time
by the deflowered Federal
detectives.

Peggy Pacer, pedagogue of
persuasive propaganda, has
finally popped her periwinkle.

A reliable source reports that
Miss Pacer, found in a
remarkable trancelike stupor, sat
for several hours reciting lines
from Faulkner's novels.

Friends tried in vain to arouse
her by conventional methods,
and had practically given up
hope of stemming her
vociferous vocalizations, when
Mrs. Kinky, present throughout
the ordeal, managed to gain Miss
Pacer's attention by reciting lines
loudly from the works of Eudora
Welty.

Male students to arrive

by Brava Rudotchka

While students were enjoying
the recent spring break,
President Perry revealed to this
publication the startling in-
formation that Agnes Scott will
begin accepting male students in
the near future.

In a letter to the chairman of
academic departments and ad-
ministrative officers President
Perry cited the following reasons
for this decision:

"1. I am not convinced of the
academic superiority of the
present all-female enrollment
over a co-ed enrollment. For ex-
ample, the lack of masculine
thought appears to have an
adverse effect on the teaching of
some subjects.

"2. If we remain with the single
sex enrollment, we would be
obliged to import suitable young

men to ASC functions in order to
provide Scott girls with eligible
bachelors.

"3. With no young men on
campus, marriage opportunities
are severely reduced, at the very
point in time when such op-
portunities are most important
to our students.

"4. The presence of young
men, especially for a college with
our heritage, should be
especially meaningful for female
Agnes Scott students. I believe
there is much of worth to be
derived from our having the op-
portunity to share the traditions
of ASC with male students."

Decisions regarding housing
have not been made, but co-ed
dorms are a definite possibility.
The administration anticipates
only minimal changes to make
ready for the advent of men on
the ASC campus.

When Miss Pacer seemed
more herself, friends carried her
to the hospital. They explained
the situation to a doctor in the
emergency receiving room,
whose only comment was,
"Who's Faulkner?"

Dr. Quark had a close call dur-
ing Wednesday afternoon lab
when irate students attempted to
strangle him with a carbon chain.
Dr. Black and Mrs. Wolf quickly
rushed to his aid. The three
fought off the attacking students
with mortars and pestles. Dr.
Quark's last words before fleeing
the laboratory were "You will
have a test this Friday even if hell
is scheduled to freeze over."

Mr. Noslen spent the month of
July vacationing in the Alps
where he became increasingly
neurotic due to the high
altitudes. At one point he was
reduced to explicating the back
panels of cereal boxes with three
beachcombers from Van Nuys.
Later, when not found discussing
the relative merits of Shelley's
"Ode to a Bullfinch" with an in-
digent Japanese gentleman, he

was adding a chapter to his
forthcoming book Romanticism:
Nether Stowey Revisited or How

To Achieve Aperception
Without Really Trying.

Lobotomy operation fails

by Sassafras

The information has finally
been released from the Public
Relations office that an un-
successful lobotomy was
attempted on Mr. Schitzo at
Agnes Scott College in
November of 1975. The
operation was performed by the
psychology department. The
initial decision of the
department to operate was a
unanimous one with 1 assenting
and 2 dissenting votes counted.
The chairman has refused
comment on the issue. The
President and Dean of Faculty
'have been continually out to
lunch and could not be reached
for comment.

The results of the operation
have evoked very little response
from both students and faculty.
One professor expressed his
concern over the failure of the
attempted lobotomy. "Agnes
Scott has had a glorious history of
successful lobotomies. It's the
college way of breaking in/down
the young and restless stu-
dents. I don't know what's
happening to our college. I fear
for our high and nebulous stan-

dards." Many more professors
revealed this philosophy:
"Ultimately and finally we must
come to terms with our disap-
pointment over the failure of the
lobotomy operation." Many
other professors were reiuctant
to talk about the situation. "We
wouldn't want to cause any
people in the psychology
department to have a nervous
breakdown over this un-

fortunate matter."

Student opinion has not been
ascertained since most Scotties
are in Florida for a continuance
of the Spring Break. However,
one student was found and
interviewed by the Defile. She
said: "At first, I was extremely
upset because I thought my
roomie was ill. But the Dean was
good enough to explain to me
that this was simply a operation
to. modify behavior."

Editorial

The bicentennial spirit

It is apalling to note the lack of patriotism that is prevalent on the
Agnes Scott campus. When was the last time your dorm rose at dawn
to salute the raising of the flag? When was the last time your dorm
rose at dawn? Have you ever been in class when the Pledge of
Allegiance was recited? Have you ever been in class?

It is obvious that the bicentennial fever has not reached an
epidemic level at Agnes Scott College. It is even rumored that the
president has proposed campus-wide innoculations against the
disease. This kind of attitude towards our nation's two-hundreth
birthday is deplorable. This college needs to become more actively
involved in the bicentennial celebration.

At least one minute of every formal convocation should be
designated a Bicentennial Minute. During this time s short episode
from the history of our country could be related. It would be helpful
if Bicentennial Minutes were made mandatory. Students need not be
required to stay for the remainder of the convocation, but they
should be forced to be present during the historical tribute.

The college services could do a great deal towards promoting a
patriotic spirit on campus. The bookstore should be stocked with 50-
pound paperweights in the form of red, white and blue eagles, and
the dorm would be decorated with replicas of "The Spirit of 76. " The
dining hall should serve nothing but turkey, hot dogs, hamburgers
and apple pie for the rest of the year.

Why should Agnes Scott not go all-out for this once in a lifetime
celebration? Let us install a liberty bell system in Buttrick that cracks
every time it rings. Let us pipe music into all the buildings so that we
can sleep, eat and study to the tunes of "Yankee Doodle Dandy/'
"Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean/' "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
"America," etc. Let us require all students to wear school uniforms of
red, white and blue. A nation's bicentennial only occurs once, so
come on, girls, let's get fired up with the Spirit of 76.

Letter to the editor:

On arriving at Agnes Scott this
past autumn with Yali and
Haryard penants with which to
festoon my dormitory, my weeks
filled with orientation activities
and drug-related charges, a cen-
tral fact about the college es-
caped my notice. This fact
remained concealed as I trudged
through two quarters, learning
the number of tassels a Res-
toration coxcomb wore at the
knee; the kind of chafing dish a
bunch of Skidmore girls would
use in a dormitory revel in 1908
and theexact method of carrying
peat out of a bog at the time of
the Irish corn laws. It was only
after emerging from these
academic rigors (somewhat in-
tact) that I made a startling dis-
covery, there are realtively few
men on campus! This, it seems to
me, is evidence of a rather large
oversight on the part of the ad-

ministration. Not only are the
other occupants of my dormitory
girls, but I find them in dis-
concertingly large numbers all
over the campus. Only last week,
deep into Gibbon's The Decline
And Fall of the Outer Mongolian
Empire, the mingled odor of
wood smoke and Sophomores
wafting through the open win-
dow, did I realize the importance
of my discovery. The scales fell
from my eyes (leaving them sore
and red-rimmed). Instantly I
seized upon my course of action.

In class I confronted the well-
tweeded Prof. Gompers with my
revelation, his teeth clamped
dangerously on his pipe. "Well,"
he retorted sardonically, "maybe
you had better stop galvanizing
around nights and pay atten-
tion!" I was seething with rage
but he could not see it, for
several girls were seething in

announcing. . .

the statistics confirmed my dis-
covery. "Well, Miss Yancelot,"
he admitted shamefacedly, "I
guess the jig is up." "Yes" I shot
at him coldly (I had just finished
my third Raymond Chandler),
"the truth is out, there are very
few men on campus and the
number is not apt to increase!"
Slipping my pencil box in my

Shortly before 1:00 p.m. today
the entire state fell into the
Pacific Ocean. The Federal
Government was alerted to the
crisis by one Mrs. R. J.
Dornsbostel of Boise, Idaho who
placed an irrate call to the White
House to protest the disruption
of her favorite soap opera "Haze
of Our Lives." As it turned out,
this was due to the fact that the
entire cast was now drifting off

There are a number of major
releases in town this week,
offerring a variety of
entertainment for the
moviegoer. For excitement and
adventure, see Fangs, in which a
small beach-resort town is
terrorized by a killer sardine.

Fangs is a masterpiece of
suspense and horror guaranteed
to send a shiver up one's spine, as
well as inducing fainting spells,
hysteria, and vomiting. On the
other hand, a more subtle
cinematic approach is found in
Knoxville, a scathing satire which
uses the world of barbershop
quartets as a metaphor through
which to explore American
culture. Director Stanley
Goldbrick seems to have another
classic on his hands with Harry
Lyndon, a stunning costume pic-

ture set in seventeenth-century
Weehauken, N.J. This film a kind
of "rake's progress" tale of an
amoral young man who claws his
way to the top of the hardware
business, is notable for its
breath-takingly artistic camera
work (many of the scenes are
richly evocative of the paintings
of Maxfield Parrish) and its
dreamy, leisurely pacing (run-
ning time is nine hours and
thirty-eight minutes, and seems
longer.)

But of all the blockbuster films .
in town now, the one most likely
to sweep next year's Oscars is un-
doubtedly Two Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest, the story of a
schizophrenic's fight against Es-
tablishment repression in a men-
tal hospital. Jack Pickleson stars
as R.P. McMurky, a lovable ax-

murderer anti-hero. One of the
most heart-warming scenes in
the movie comes when he bribes
the night attendant of the ward
and throws a party, complete
with drinks and girls, to celebrate
his impending escape from the
hospital. Everyone has a
wonderful time, and it warms the
cockles of. the audience's heart
to see what joy McMurky brings
into the listless lives of his fellow
patients. Unfortunately, the next
morning half of them are found
dead from ingesting alcohol
while on special medication, and
the other half were discovered to
have contacted V.D., but such
details are overlooked in the
film's stirring tribute the
McMurky's i n r represi ble
personality and indomitable
spirit.

The Georgia Swine-Breeders Association Glee Club will present it
annual spring concert on Friday, April 2 at 7:00 p.m. in Piedmont Park.
Included on the program are songs from the Gershwin-Heyward folk
opera, "Porky and Bess."

The rock group Friedrich Nietzsche and the Deviated Septums will
perform each night this week at the Micro-Wave Ballroom. Tickets
are $5.50 and $7.00.

Country/folk singer Rob Dylan will give a concert Saturday, April 3
at the Omknee as part of a national tour. Dylan is noted for his sen-
sitive portraits-in-song of the loner. He will be accompanied on the
tour by 97 stage technicians, grips, press agents, and hairdressers.

The Atlanta Opera Company will present Spumoni Thursday
through Sunday, April 8-11, at 8:00 p.m. in Symphony Hall. Spumoni
is the story of a young and naive pumber in the employ of Lucretia
Borgia. Summoned to her country villa to clean out a septic tank, the
innocent young man is soon drawn into a web of Renaissance
mystery, intrigue, illicit love, political skullduggery, poisonings, mis-
taken identities, and prolonged death scenes. Tickets are $4.00, $6.00,
and $8.00.

Tax book promises to be helpful

Among the recently published
books written by Agnes Scott
alumnae, How to Beat the IRS
and Have Fun Doing It, by Ida
Lida Lot, is unquestionably of the
most practical value to the
average reader. Agnes Scott
College should be proud to be
associated with a work of such
obvious educational value and
broad appeal.

In her helpful manual, Miss Lot
manages to triumph over a
remarkably excreable literary
style. Of course, ease of reading
is irrelevant in a book of such im-
portance, we can all simply read
around the cliches, boorish
remarks, split infinitives, mis-
placed commas, imcomplete
sentences, confusing
organization, non-sequiturs,
misspellings, and poor sentence

order. Miss Lot's grammer is an
eloquent statement of the
quality of English taught here
when she was a student. Of
course, things have improved
since the class of 1918 graduated.
At least that is what I have been
led to believe.

The ehlpful hints for fleecing
your government offered by
Miss Lot are imaginative, com-
plete, and practically foolproof.
She offers suggestions for
decreasing your income tax, es-
tate tax, luxury tax, auto tax,
inheritance tax, in fact, so many
taxes that it taxes one to read
about them.

How to Beat the IRS also
provides advice for what to do it
you get caught. There is the
"Patty Heart" technique in
which one pleads not-guilty by

reason of voodoo, the "Karen
Pinlan" technique in which one
passes into an irreversible coma
when Treasury agents arrive with
the arrest warrant, and the
"Holes-in-its-in" technique in
which one defects to the USSR
while writinga best-selling book
about the sad state affairs on this
side of the iron curtain.

In a time when the acquisition
of money is the national preoc-
cupation, and how to save it is
the national mania, Miss Lot's
slim volume of helpful hints is a
welcome arrival. Even more
welcome is the author's an-
nouncement of her soon-to-be-
published book, How to Cheat at
Bingo. Both volumes are
published by Hearcoot, Race,
and Hovinovotch, and sell for
$35.00 each.

Moments Remembered

By Nightingale
and Brava Ruabtchka

from The Defile, March 32, 1974
Agnes Scott students
received a streak preview dur-
ing convocation last Wednes-
day morning. Professor R. U.
Nude from the Physical
Education Department at
Georgia Tech lectured on the
physically fit liberal arts
student. He pointed out that
keeping physically fit by ex-
ercising can be enjoyable and is
best accomplished with a
minimum of clothing and

equipment. Faculty members
provided a demonstration by
jogging across the stage of
Gaines to the tune of "God of
the Limping Centuries" wear-
ing only colorful sneakers. The
leader was clad in tennis shoes
of Harvard Crimson. Members
of the pack included Mr.
Sydeburns, Mr. Sore, Mrs.
Eaststream, Mr. Volkon, Mr.
Streaming, Mr. Harry, Miss
Automatic, Mr. Halfnelson,
Mrs. Soup, Miss Capricious,
Miss Growcloser, Miss Iron,
and Miss Shawl. Bringing up
the rear was Mr. Behind.

Hawaiian dinner
planned

by Lazy Susan
The cafeteria will sponsor Luau
Night at lunch on April 31. The
menu will feature a roast suc-
kling guinea pig with a crabapple
in its mouth. Entertainment will
be provided by a strolling
ukeleleist accompanied by Mrs.
Robinsegg, who will

demonstrate the hula while at-
tired in a grass skirt. All students
who attend will be supplied with
lays.

A special invitation to the Luau
was extended to Mr. Lendersum,
but he declined, stating that he
had already made reservations
for the meal at Hairy Queen.

Rep retorts

by Midcalf

Haney Mutton, president of
the Student Government As-
sociation, announced at the
March 30 meeting of Rep Coun-
cil that the parking problem at
Agnes Scott College has reached
serious proportions. Now that
the 20-deck building has been
erected, there are 2,308 parking
spaces, but there are only 302
cars registered to park on cam-
pus. A committee was appointed
to investigate the possibility of
renting spaces to out-of-town
commuters who could park on
campus and catch a bus to work.
It was also suggested that one or
two of the decks be converted
into a used car sales lot that will
make money for the college.

RC 372, making it possible for
men to visit on campus on Sun-
day afternoons from 1-5 p.m.
when accompanied by a parent
or guardian, has been approved
by the Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees. Before the
RC can go into effect it must be
approved by the full Board, all
parents of Agnes Scott students,
the governor of Georgia and the
Congress of the United States. If
no complications occur the RC
should receive final approval in
1997.

Rep Council voted to
recommend to the president of
the college that nightly bed
checks be reinstated. The Coun-
cil is concerned that few students
are getting a sufficient amount of
sleep. The recommendation
suggests that dormitory
presidents conduct a bed check
at 10:30 p.m. every night, the
recommendation was amended
to read that Saturday night bed
checks would take place at mid-

night*. To insure that students do
not sneak out again after the bed
checks, it has been suggested
that the dormitory president
lock the door of each room after
it has been checked and that bars
be put on every dormitory win-
dow.

The Committee on Academic
Problems (CAP) is investigating
the shortage of chalk in the clas-
srooms. CAP maintains that this
shortage is causing an enormous
increase in the number of
misspelled words on tests. "If the
chalk problem is not solved
soon, it could result in at least a
two-letter grade frop for each
student," said CAP's chairman
Constant Antie Studies.

Bicentennial speaker

-AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030-

April 9, 1976

Ahlstrom to address campus

Agnes Scott's observance of
the Bicentennial will be
highlighted by the visit of Sydney
Ahlstrom of Yale University on
Monday and Tuesday, April 12
and 13.

Professor Ahlstrom will be the
McCain Lecturer this year, the
second speaker to be designated
thus in honor of James Ross
McCain, President of Agnes
Scott from 1923 to 1951. The lec-
tureship was established to bring
to the campus speakers who
would relate some aspect of
learning to spiritual values. The
first McCain program was spon-
sored by the English Department

in 1972 in commemoration of the
400th anniversary of the birth of
John Donne.

The program this year is held at
the instigation of the Bible and
Religion Department. Dr.
Ahlstrom is the author of A
Religious History of the
American People, published in
1872. His address on April 12 is
entitled, "Is America Really
God's New Israel?" and will be
an historical account of the rise
and decline of a patriotic
tradition.

Dr. Ahlstrom will speak at 8:15
on Monday evening in Maclean
auditorium, and a "cheese and

crackers'' conversation period in
the Hub will follow. For Tuesday
morning at 11:30 Professor
Ahlstrom will lead a discussion in
the Rebekah Reception Room
on questions prompted by Mon-
day evening's lecture.

The college community is
fortunate in having this dis-
tinguished scholar and effective
speaker on our campus. The
Bible and Religion Department is
pleased to sponsor this Bicenten-
nial program in the name of
former President James Ross
McCain.

Agnes Scott applicants' weekend

and Gaya Blackburn had charge
of correspondence. Cherry Joy
Beyesselance, the president of
Mortar Board, supervised all
arrangements.

Mortar Board would like to
encourage students to meet as
many of the applicants as pos-
sible because it is through
students that they can learn what
Agnes Scott is really like.

Jaunt sets goals

by Mary Anne Barlow,
Kandace Fitzhugh,

Martha Hackl
and Melinda Morris

Junior Jaunt has set two goals
this spring. The first is to pass last
year's total of $1 ,067. The second
goal, and perhaps the most im-
portant, is to involve the entire
campus in Junior Jaunt.

Sponsored by the Junior class,
this is a project of the student
body to support the individual
classes in their own fund-raising
event, and to participate in ac-
tivities designed for the students
and faculty.

Junior Jaunt is a casual, fun oc-
casion with the purpose of rais-
ing money for a charity. The
charity committee is comprised
of Mary Anne Barlow, Carol
Corbett, Kandace Fitzhugh, and
Martha Hackl. They would like
the students to discuss and be
familiar with the following three
charities from the Atlanta and
Decatur area. The student body
will choose the final charity,
ballots will be placed in mailbox-
es Friday, April 9.

The Fledgling Foundation. The
purpose of the Fledgling Foun-
dation is to provide funds and
spiritual guidance for the
education and rehabilitation of
selected boys and girls who have
been in correctional institutions
or have been otherwise involved
with the law. It is supported by
voluntary contributions of work
and money from Georgians
residing in many parts of the
state. Monetary expenditures
are virtually all for educational
assistance to the youths. Many
professional people assist the

Foundation as volunteers:
Physicians, psychiatrists, social
workers, lawyers, ministers, etc.
There is no paid staff and no
rented or owned offices.

The Greater Decatur
Recreation Agencies Council.
This council, adopted January 8,
1976, is an outgrowth of
coordination efforts convened
by the Decatur Cooperative
Ministry to plan for summer
recreation in 1974 and 1975. The
Council's first order of business
will be to play for the Summer
Recreation Season and the es-
tablishment of a recreation "hot
line" through the Decatur
Recreation Department. The
purpose of G.D.R.A.C. is to
coordinate Decatur's recreation
programs in order to avoid
duplication of services thereby
making a greater impact upon
the recreation needs of the com-
munity. The council especially
needs money for transportation
costs when taking Decatur youth
on trips outside the Decatur
area.

Women's Union Mission. The
Women's Union Mission is
specifically designed to help
homeless women such as: out-
patients from Grady, women
released from prison, and
stranded or runaway women.
The organization provides these
women with food, clothing, and
shelter in a Christian atmosphere
in order to rehabilitate these
women spiritually, emotionally,
and physically. Any help would
be greatly appreciated by the
Mission and all of the women
who would benefit from the
donation.

Profile/ April 9, 1976

Campaign procedure

During the recent election week it occurred to me many times that
our campaign procedures are extremely limited, and therefore
damaging to the election itself. Although the small size of the Agnes
Scott community does provide unusually good opportunities for
each student to become acquainted with many of the other persons
on campus, it is a rare student who is familiar with all the candidates
for all elective offices. As a result, many students do not know any
candidates for some offices, and must use arbitrary and sometimes
ridiculous methods when deciding for whom they will vote.

All candidates should have the opportunity to at least make their
faces familiar to concerned students. Candidates should wear their
name tags in the days preceding the election. A second election
chapel at which the candidates for each office were announced and
allowed to simply stand from their seats would also be helpful. Often
a student knows enough about someone to aid in making an
intelligent decision, but for one reason or another did not knowthat
person's name. By simply connecting the name with the individual
some problems could be overcome.

Open campaigning with posters, banners, etc. is not appropriate to
the atmosphere of Agnes Scott. However, if we are to have an ef-
ficient, truly representative student government on campus, all
students should be given the opportunity of making an intelligent,
thoughtful choice.

Editorial

Student responsibility

Everyone will have noticed by now that Agnes Scott College ac-
quired new Coke machines over the spring holiday. Everyone will
also have noticed that although these machines are designed to dis-
tribute aluminum cans, they distribute returnable bottles.

The college must pay for every Coke bottle that is not returned to
the company, whether that bottle was broken or simply left sitting in
some obscure corner of the campus by an absent-minded student. If
improvements are not made in the returning of bottles, the College
may find it necessary to stock Coke machines with cans or non-
returnable bottles, which will probably mean that the cost for the
students will increase.

Last quarter the Student Life Committee convinced the Business
Affairs Office that Agnes Scott students are responsible human
beings who are capable of returning bottles to the proper areas and
that resorting to aluminum cans or non-returnable bottles would not
be necessary. The time has come for the students to prove that the
Committee was right.

All members of the campus community are urged to return their
bottles to the crates provided near each Coke machine.

Students of Agnes Scott College:

On February 17th we were
asked to accompany The
Georgians for Carter to New
Hampshire to campaign for the
New Hampshire primary from
February 18th to 25th. Several of
the persons who had originally
planned to attend were unable
to do so at the last minute and
this allowed students from Agnes
Scott College, Emory University,
Georgia State University, and the
University of Georgia to
participate. We had only 24
hours to prepare for the trip, and
therefore were unable to wait for
the decision of the Absence
Committee regarding the ap-
plications we submitted. Ourex-
periences in New Hampshire
were invaluable we were able
to observe the strategy in a
presidential campaign and
participate in various aspects of
the campaign process.

When we returned to Agnes
Scott College, we learned that
for tests and work missed the
previous week, we were to
receive a "0" as punishment.
After an appeal to the Academic
Standards Committee, the
decision was changed so that we
were allowed to take the tests
but the actual grades were to be
reduced two letter grades. It
might be noted here that
neither Emory University nor
Georgia State punished their
students for the work missed, but

rather, encouraged them to take
advantage of this unique ex-
perience. The question is, why
did Agnes Scott decide to
penalize their students? After
plodding through red tape com-
parable to a bureaucracy to find
the answer, it seems that Agnes
Scott College did not view the
New Hampshire experience to
be of the educational value as 5
days of classes.

We are no longer concerned
about our grades, (although the
grades reflect Agnes Scott's dis-
ciplinary action and not our
academic achievements in the
courses.) We are deeply dis-
turbed, however, by Agnes
Scott's narrow conception of
"educational value." It seems
that this conception is not only
narrow-minded, but actually
archaic. One benefit of a liberal
arts education is that it allows
one to recognize the
educational value of various ex-
periences, even when they are of
little personal interest. If our
"education" is limited to the
classroom experience, it seems
that we need to ask ourselves
several questions:

1. Is Agnes Scott College en-
couraging a true liberal arts
education? (We constantly hear
of the virtues of the liberal arts
education, but is Agnes Scott
providing a true liberal arts ex-
perience?)

2. With this view of

Seven people died in a fire
which swept through an old
hotel in downtown Miami this
past Saturday. Miami Fire Chief
Don Hickman said there was a
strong possibility that the fire
had been deliberately set. A can
of gasoline was found on one of
the building's upper floors, and
several former employees of the
hotel are being questioned
about the matter. Many of the
hotel's 32 residents managed to
jump to safety from second and
third floor windows. The fire was
said to be the second worst in the
city's history.

Richard Nixon's two sons-in-
law, Edward Cox and David
Eisenhower, have publically
disavowed that they believed the
former president was mentally
unstable or would take his own
life before he resigned. They
disagree with much of the
material contained in Bob
Woodward and Carl Bernstein's
new book "The Final Days"
which deals with the last days of
the Nixon Administration.

A District of Columbia appeals
court has ordered a blood test on
a seven year old boy living in
West Germany. The test is to
determine whether the boy is
the only great-great-grandchild
of Abraham Lincoln. The boy's
mother was married to Robert
Todd Lincoln Beckwith of
Washington from whom she is
now divorced. Beckwith
contends he is not the boy's
father. His attorney, Elizabeth
Young, says the trust fund which
Lincoln had set up had assets
valued at one million dollars at
the death of Mary Harlan Lincoln
in 1937. If the boy's parentage
can be proved he will inherit the
trust at Beckwith's death.

More Americans are getting
divorced and fewer are getting
married. More people are living
alone and the majority of women
are having fewer children. These
are some of the changes
reflected in the 1975 Census
Bureau report released last
week. The report outlines the
country's population growth,

"education" stipulated by the
Committees, will we, as students,
be prepared for our future after
Agnes Scott?

3. Will the "education" Agnes
Scott College is offering soon be
obsolete, if it is not already?

We would guess that many of
you have had experiences com-
parable to ours in which Agnes
Scott's view of "education"
seemed extremely limited.
Remembering that a college is
for the students, we suggest that
the questions we have raised are
extremely relevant to your
future, to future students, and to
the future of Agnes Scott
College. Some of you may
decide that Agnes Scott's
conception of education coin-
cides with your own, others may
feel that it is time for a radical
change, and still others may view
the atmosphere as irrecoverable
and therefore decide to find an
institution better suited to her
needs. Whatever you may
decide, we urge you to consider
these questions seriously, for is a
liberal arts education not the
supposed purpose of Agnes
Scott College?

social characteristics, em-
ployment and income and
ethnic breakdown. This year's
report revealed a continuing
tendency to postpone marriage.

In 1975, 40 percent of women
between the ages of 20 and 24
were single, compared with 28
percent in 1960. Almost 60
percent of males the same age
were single compared with 53
percent in 1960. Other findings
include: the death rate reached
8.9 in 1975, the lowest level in his-
tory (8.9 out of every 1,000
people died, compared with 9.4
in 1974). The census also shows
the death rate for women is
lower than for men; women can
now expect to live an average of
eight years longer than men. By
the end of 1975, the U. S.
population was 214.5 million, an
increase of 1.7 million (less than a
1 percent) over the previous
year.

Robin and Marian is a disap-
pointment; it simply does not
measure up to the great expec-
tations of its intriguing premise.
A weak script keeps it from
achieving its full potential, but
fortunately the film has enough
good points to make it worth
seeing nonetheless.

R & M is the story of the pair in
middle age, beginning with
Robin's (Sean Connery) return
from the Crusades. He finds that
Marian (Audrey Hepburn) is
now an abbess, having turned in
despair to the Church when he
had left her, and that the Sheriff
of Nottingham is still in office,
administering the old unfair laws
that preserve the gulf between
peasant and noble. He is also
about to enforce an edict from
bad king John exiling all the
higher clergy from England. This
includes Marian, so Robin comes
to the rescue, starting a chain of
events that culminates in a
contest by champions between
himself and the Sheriff.

R & M is not at all a bad movie,
but it could have been a great
deal better. The film vacillates
between swashbuckling and
drama, and its divided efforts
prevent it from being a complete
success at either genre.
Generally it is best as adventure,
although sometimes the pacing
is a little off. When R & M aspires
to drama, it flounders in several
ways, all stemming from a weak
screenplay. The dialogue is rid-
dled with arch lines that belong,
if anywhere, in a drawing-room
comedy, and motives are
sometimes a little muddled. The
most serious flaws are heavy-
handed attempts to give depth to
characterizations (although
it should be noted that R & M

does rise quite a few cuts above
other Robin Hood films, such as
the genial, comic-book-made-
flesh version with Errol Flynn). R
& M raises a number of interes-
ting questions about its
characters, and hints at various
dimensions to their personalities
not seen in the basic legend, but
the film never really explores
either area, leaving one to
wonder, "What's the point?" For
example, why make Richard
Lionheart into a crazed, blood-
thirsty old man without
significantly treating Robin's
struggle with his conscience over
the limits of allegiance to his
king? Why make Marian a
devoted nun if, upon Robin's
return, she gives up her habit
without a visible struggle? And
so on.

On the plus side, R & M is
handsomely mounted and

visually stunning, and features an
excellent musical score by John
Barry. Best of all is the acting. The
cast surmounts the handicaps of
the script with flying colors, in
this movie eyes say three times as
much as words. Connery and
Hepburn are perfect for the title
roles, and their performances
complement each other nicely.
Robert Shaw portrays the Sheriff
with a menacing blend of
shrewdness and patience, and
even makes him a sympathetic
character in spots. Richard Harris
and Kenneth Haigh give strong
performances as, respectively,
Richard Lionheart and a rather
dim-witted knight, Sir Ranulf.
But the finest job of acting is
probably Nicol Williamson's Lit-
tle John. As written, Little John is
a nothing part, little more than a
warm body to fill the venerable
niche of sidekick; Williamson
makes him into a fully developed
character and offers a p6rtrayal
that is every bit as poignant as
either of those by the two stars.

Mortar board to tap
new members

Mortar Board will tap new
members on Tuesday, April 13, at
8 p.m. in a candlelight ceremony
in the Quadrangle. The student
body is invited to attend. New
Mortar Board officers will be an-
nounced during convocation on
Wed., April 14, at 11 :30 a.m. Mrs.
Claire Hubert, Professor of Fren-
ch, will speak on the topics
"Silence."

Mortar Board is a national
senior honorary society com-
posed of over one hundred and
fifty chapters. Agnes Scott's
chapter was organized in 1931.
The purposes of Mortar Board

are "to provide for cooperation
among societies, to support the
ideals of the University, to ad-
vance a spirit of scholarship, to
recognize and encourage
leadership, and to provide the
opportunity for a meaningful ex-
change of ideas as individuals
and as a group." Members are
elected from the Junior Class on
the basis of service, scholarship,
and leadership. Mortar Board
plays an active role in Black Cat,
Freshman elections, and other
campus activities throughout the
year.

Moments Remembered

Pi Alpha Phi Debating
Society held a humorous
debate with Harvard last Friday.

Margaret Brawner and Jean
Hoefer spoke for the negative
side of the topic "Resolved:
That Co-education is No
Education" Rick Richmon and
Brant Mitler represented
Harvard for the affirmative.

The affirmative team based
its arguments against co-
education on the fact that
women are naturally superior
to men and should receive a
superior, and therefore

separate, education. They cited
evidence to show that women
excel men by being
constitutionally stronger,
healthier, smarter, and
emotionally stronger.

They pointed out a recent
Gallup Poll demonstrating that
a definite majority of people in
the United States think women
are prettier, have better
figures, and are nicer, the last
because they never swear or
fight and, surprisingly enough,
seldom get drunk.

In its argument, the negative

team traced the history of
American education. em-
phasizing that only since 1900
has co-education been wide-
spread. The Scott speakers did
not deny that fact of female
superiority, but regretted that it
took the male so long to
recognize it.

The debate ended with a
heated appraisal of the ''mutual
distra*ion" issue, which, main-
tained the Scott team, girrs are
"all for."

Freshmen give views on ASC R e p reports

by Julia Midkiff
"You can have available dates
if you want to go out with turkey-
butts," the girl in jeans and a
work shirt said. The other girls in
various states of dress and un-
dress who were sitting around
her laughed and nodded in
agreement. The ten students
were sitting on the floor in an
uneven circle, talking about
academic life, campus life and
socia life at Agnes Scott. This
gathering was not the usual late
night "bull session" that fre-
quently occurs; there was a plan
and purpose to the meeting. It
was an informal group interview
conducted by a Profile reporter,
and the purpose of the interview
was to compare the life of which
freshmen have been a part of
two quarters with the expec-
tations about that life with which
they arrived last September.

When asked about the
availability of dates the girls
seemed to agree that for the
student who will date anyone,
there are plenty of men

available, but for the student
who is more selective, there is a
problem in making male friends.
Everyone agreed that when they
came to Agnes Scott, they were
under the impression that it was
easy to get dates here.

Suzi Gomez felt that the
problem was due to a lack of a
wide range of contacts. "Our
main warehouse is Tech
fraternities," she said, going on
to expiain that no other areas of
contact are easily accessible to
Agnes Scott freshmen. Dacia
Small said, "No comment for
black students, because there is
nothing." One student said she
feels Social Council does not live
up to its purpose.

It was the consensus of the
group that the Hub is not an asset
to on-campus social life. "I don't
think the Hubisvery warm," said
Bess Cox. "It's embarrassing."
Many of the freshmen expressed
the idea that if the Hub were
made more inviting, it would
become an active student
center.

In answer to questions about
campus life a number of the
freshmen agreed that they had to
make an effort to get to know the
people on their halls and in their
classes, whereas they had ex-
pected to find it much easier to
know everyone. A girl said that
one barrier to knowing who
everyone is stems from the prac-
tice some professors have
adopted of calling students by
their surnames. She said that in
order to learn the first names of
the other students in her French
class, she memorized their
names on the time sheets in the
language lab. Bess Cox said that
Dormitory Council was not what
she expected it to be. She felt a
need for more hall meetings to
serve as get-acquainted
gatherings.

Dacis Small was impressed by
the fact that upperclassmen are
concerned about the members
of her class and do not treat then
as "lowly freshmen." But, she

(cont'd, on p. 4, col. 1)

At the Rep Council meeting of
April 13, President Cindy Hodges
reported that, according to Dr.
Perry, sufficient funds are
available outside of SGA funds to
pay for a flagpole on campus.
Sarah Marshall, a member of the
committee which has been
gathering information on the
flagpole, pointed out that the
particular pole under discussion
is attractive and would be an
asset rather than an eyesore. Rep
will vote on the recommen-
dation for a flagpole next week.

At the request of Dean Hun-
tington, the representation of
non-traditional students in Rep
was discussed. Frances Holt, day
student representative, said that
non-traditional students are in-
cluded with day students in this,

and she believes them to be well
represented.

Gay Balckburn, Editor of the
Silhouette, asked for an
allotment of $1 ,$65.14 in order to
be able to meet projected ex-
penditures. After Gay had ex-
plained the reason for needing
the additional allotment, and
discussion by Rep members, the
recommendation was passed
unanimously.

Cindy Hodges reminded
everyone of the responsibility
that all students now have to
return their soft drink bottles to
the appropriate areas. Cindy also
announced that Mr. Lucksinger
is having the library pation open
everyday, 1:30-5:00, starting
Monday, April 19.

New trench assistant selected

Brigitte Rivory will be the new
French Assistant for 1976-77. She
is a student at the Ecole Normale
Superieure in Paris and hopes to
teach in France. She is 22 years
old and is interested in theater,
music, and dance.

The head of the English
department of her university
descri bes Brigitte as
"unanimously appreciated as a
competent, charming and
altogether well-balanced

person. . .with a sensitive ap-
proach to language and
literature." She is highly
recommended by Franchoise
Chaze, French Assistant for 1974-
75.

Brigitte writes that she sees her
stay in the United States as an op-
portunity to "become ac-
quainted with a more spon-
taneous, more open and more
dynamic way of life."

Brigitte will livein room105 In-

man on the French Hall. Next
year will be the fourth year of the
French Hall on which students in
French 101 and above may live
and speak French. At present, 10
students live there with
Benedicte Boucher, the French
Assistant for 1975-76. Ap-
plications to live on the French
Hall next year should be made
through Mollie Merrick in the
office of the Dean of Students.

Editorial

rrorue/ April lb, 197b

Getting to know you

One of the lines which many applicants to Agnes Scott hear has to
do with the supposedly warm relationship between students and
faculty on this campus. Unfortunately, this is stretching a point.
Although the student-faculty relationship is decidedly not hostile,
which is a not altogether unknown situation on college campuses,
this relationship is lacking in the warmth and sense of communion for
which it has the potential.

No one on campus is free from responsibility in this area, but it is up
to the faculty to play the greater part, at least in the beginning. Many
new students come to Agnes Scott from high schools where students
did not even hope to know their teachers as individuals. They are
unused to respect, patience, and trust; often they look at the faculty
as an enemy or an organization to be avoided when at all possible.
Many students who have had good relationships with faculty
members previously find it very difficult to approach a professor on
anything but academic matters. It is more common to hear students
express fear of professors than to hear of professors who are afraid of
their students. Faculty members must actively show students that
they are open to the needs of the students to relate to their professors
on a more informal level.

Attendance by faculty members at extra-curricular programs
would help students learn about professors' interest. Of course,
students would have to attend these events also - the apathy in this
area is already a well-belabored point. The disappointment that many
students felt over the Faculty-Student basketball game's failure to
take place only more strongly indicates the need for such events.

If the faculty assumes this responsibility, and lives up to what the
students (realistically) hope for, then it will be the obligation of the
students to react in kind. We must be willing to give back as much as
we ask from our professors, if not there is no hope of improving the
situation.

Like most problems dealing with people, there is no immediate,
faultless solution available. Obviously, outside pressure, whatever
the source, would produce an undesirable Komsomol - like meeting
which would frustrate rather than encourage better understanding.
We, the students and faculty, must take the responsibility upon
ourselves if we are to become the people we wish to be, living in a
true community.

Among the new equipment
that the language laboratory ac-
quired last summer is a Telex 300
!/2-track audio-tape rapid
duplicator. This system can use
either an open-reel or a cassette
tape as a master from which to
make cassette copies. Any
student or faculty member who
has either a personal tape or one
used in a cu/rent course can use
this service at no cost. In the
latter case, duplication permis-
sion must first be obtained from
the appropriate publisher and
shown to the language
laboratory staff; a copy of that
written permission will be kept
on file in the language lab for
future reference.

The procedure to follow is
take the master tape to the
language lab along with a fresh
cassette blank for each copy
desired. Fill out a duplication re-
quest form and leave it, the
master, and the cassette blanks in

the wire basket allocated for this
purpose (located on top of the
bookshelf next to the language
lab office door). Within ten days,
the duplicate copy or copies will
have been made. The individual
will be notified, and can pick up
the master and copies from the
lab at her convenience. It is
recommended that one speak
with the laboratory assistants
about one's request. For further
details, contact Miss Herbert,
Mr. Hepburn, or Mr. Bao.

by Liz Hornsby
Robert Redford's resolve to
film Carl Bernstein and Bob
Woodward's Watergate book,
All the President's Men, was
nothing if not ambitious, and his
determination to produce
something better than a simple
Hollywoodized version made
executing that resolve even
more difficult, as evidenced by a
shooting schedule that con-
cluded 35 days overtime and $3.5
million over budget. Thus it is all
the more to Redford's credit that
All the President's Men is a fine
piece of work. It is not without
flaws, but on the whole it is an
exciting, entertaining detective
story as well as a sound, res-
ponsible treatment of fact.

The film begins in June, 1972
with the assignment of reporters
Bernstein and Woodward (Dus-

tin Hoffman and Redford) to the
seemingly routine story of a
buglary at the Watergate com-
plex, and it follows their long,
painstaking investigation of what
became "the story of the cen-
tury" through the time of Nix-
on's inauguration, concluding
with a kind of epilogue
powerfully furnished by the
headlines on a teletype machine.

ATPM is commendably res-
trained, minimally idealized, and
possessed of a realism that draws
the audience in close. This
almost electrifying realism is the
result of location footage, a
$450,000 replica of the
Washington Post newsroom, and
attention to even the smallest
details (Woodward uses hunt-
and-peck typing; going into the
Library of Congress with
Bernstein, he passes schoolkids

Scott girls become
sensuous women

by Patty Pearson
In The Compleat Belly Dancer
by Julie Russo Mishkin and
Marta Schill, chapter one, "So
You Want to Become a Sensuous
Belly Dancer," there is certainly
the obvious implication that one
cannot be a belly-dancer
without being sensuous, and ad-
vocates of the art would argue
that it is also vice-versa. A motely
crew of Agnes Scott, students
decided to become sensuous
this past January and began tak-
ing beginning belly dancing
under the direction of Mrs.
Mabel Vogeli at the Decatur
Recreation Center.

The Fatimas in our group in-
cluded Renee Anderson, Jane
Fraley, Sharon Collings, Gloria
Lewis, Lisa Banks, Sarah Latture,
and myself, Patty Pearson. One
can see the appropriateness of
the term "motely crew." Our
situation in beginning belly dan-
cing is somewhat analogous to
the Trobiand Islanders trying to
learn the Scottish Highland Fling.
Americans, with their Puritan
heritage, are simply not
culturally equipped to
understand the art of belly dan-
cing. Thus, I'm sure that Mrs.
Vogeli often had to politely sup-
press a giggle or two at our
novice gyrations. Looking at my
own attempts reminded me of
the ball in the "Follow-the-
Bouncing-Ball" cartoons when
the T.V. is broken.

Actually, belly dancing is not

anywhere near being as "lewd"
as it often appears to American
eyes. (If you could see me trying
to do it, you would realize that it
is not lewd, it is funny.) Mishkin
and Schill best explain the typical
Western misunderstanding of
the dance:

... the passions of birth and life
and love are woven into every
facet of the culture with a
special earthy quality that
transcends morality in the
Western sense. Because of
this, the Westerner has often
misunderstood the dance,
giving it his noteriety and
striptease condescension.
The music is highly emotional
and very free rhythmically.

Mrs. Vogeli stressed to us in fact
that it is absolutely taboo to do
any floorwork (backbends, arm
movements, elaborate exercise
of the stomach muscles, etc.,
done while on one's back on the
floor) facing the audience, in
order that the audience concen-
trate on the form of the dance
rather than prone and possibly
suggestive position of the
dancer.

More and more, belly dancing
is coming to be recognized as a
legitimate form of dance. Our
class warms up with a few yoga
movements and some basic
Martha Graham warm-ups. The
fundamental basis of the dance
are called "isolated
movements." Isolated

on a field trip coming out.)

The acting is strong, from the
starring, to the supporting (Jason
Robards, Martin Balsam, Jack
Warden), to the smaller (Hal
Holbrook, Jane Alexander) roles.
Director Alan Paluka successfully
sues deliberate pacing to create
suspense rather than boredom,
and plays light off shadow and
darkness in a highly effective
visual treatment. The script by
William Goldman is in the first
half sometimes marred by too
much humor, as if he intended a
kind of modern-day political se-
quel to his Butch Cassidyandthe
Sundance Kid, but the screen-
play usually rings true and it gives
a strong and needed narrative
thrust to the plotline. David
Shire's muted score, with its feel-
ing of mystery and menace, is a
nice finishing touch for the film.

In short, ATPM is not only a
good movie, but a far better film
treatment of the Watergate story
than one might have expected.

movements involve moving one,
and only one part of the body;
other body parts must remain
still. For example, while trying to
move the torso, one cannot
move either the hips or the
shoulders. For the most part, the
rest of belly dancing builds on
these isolated movements.

Belly dancing, originally the
Arabian dance called the Beledi,
was a know part of the culture in
Morocco, West Africa, Algiers,
Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Persia,
Greece, and Northern India. In
North Africa, belly dancing was a
way for a woman to raise her
social status. If she danced well
enough in the market place, gold
coins were thrown at her feet,
and the woman then used the
gold coins to increase her dowry
and thus her chances of marrying
into a higher social class.

After she married, however,
she could never again dance in
public; she could only dance for
her husband.

Of course, we have no such
exotic stories to tell. It is good ex-
ercise, a lot of fun (and laughs),
and we are all certainly, in case
anyone hadn't noticed, infinitely
more sensuous.

Dance Atlanta brings
talent to area

What is DanceAtlanta?

DanceAtlanta, according to
Director Susan Hunter, is a ' non-
profit dance sponsorship
organization." It was established
in 1973.

What is DanceAtlanta's purpose?

DanceAtlanta's primary
purpose, says Ms. Hunter, is to
"make available good touring
dance productions" to the
Atlanta area. It aims to fill the
void for sponsorship of these
productions. Dance company
costs are high, because of the
number of people involved, high
costs of performing facility ren-
tal, publicity, lights, and so forth.
Therefore, sponsorship of dance
events is usually not profitable
on a commercial level.
DanceAtlanta, being non-profit,
can bring highly-acclaimed
dance talent to the area, without
the profit motive pressure of
commercial dance impresarios.

How is DanceAtlanta funded?

DanceAtlanta is a joint project
of the Atlanta Arts Alliance and
Georgia State University, who
provide funding and office and
class space. The National En-
dowment for the Arts, through
the Dance Touring Program, also
provides substantial financial
backing. In addition,
DanceAtlanta receives funds
from the Georgia Council for the
Arts and various local foun-
dations.

What has DanceAtlanta done in
the past?

In its three years of existence,
the organization has brought to
Atlanta some of the very finest
talent in the dance world. Artists
who have performed in Atlanta
under the auspices of
DanceAtlanta include the Jose
Limon Dance Company, the Paul
Taylor Dance Company (who
performed in Symphony Hall this
past weekend), the Murray Louis
Dance Company, and the Alvin
Ailey City Center Dance Theatre.
These dance companies have
participated in DanceAtlanta's
key concept of the residency. In

MATCH.

PUT THE LIFE
OUT OF YOUR MATCHE
BEFORE THEY PUT THE LIFf
OUT OF YOUR FORESTS.

by Cinni
Rockwell
addition to bringing dance talent
to Atlanta in a performing
capacity, DanceAtlanta
coordinates an accompanying
schedule of lectu re-
demonstrations and master
classes by the visiting companies.
The lecture-demonstrations and
master classes are held in
geographically centralized
locations in the metropolitan
area. The Murray Louis lecture
demonstration held on the
Agnes Scott campus last fall was a
part of this residency concept.
What plans does DanceAtlanta
have for the future?

DanceAtlanta Director Susan
Hunter feels her organization
has helped to build a dance
audience in the Atlanta area. She
plans to build on this base. The
short-term residency concept
has served its purpose well, but
residencies of greater length
have yet to be explored. There
are several possibilities for long-
term residencies. One idea
would be to bringthe guest artist
to the city for a week or so, for a
series of workshops, rather than
the one-shot approach of the
lecture - demonstrations and
master classes currently being
offered. A more ambitious idea,
of particular interest to the
Agnes Scott community, would
be to welcome a dance company
to a college campus for an ex-
tended period of time, in a
collaborative effort of learning,
teching, and performing. The
cost burden would be shared
jointly by DanceAtlanta and the
host campus. This particular ap-
proach would be considerable
prestige for that college as a
dance center.

How is DanceAtlanta involved
with local dance groups? What
plans does DanceAtlanta have
for future local dance events?

DanceAtlanta has already con-
tributed considerably to local
dance groups by purchasing a
portable dance floor which can
be used by local groups. In ad-
dition, a video co-op has been
established in conjunction with
Georgia State, so that local

Moments Remembered

Slaves Michael Brown of the
History Department and
George P. Hayes of the English
Department, as part of their
duties as Suppressed Desires
Day slaves [SDD was once a part
of junior Jaunt ed.] were
subjected to taking ex-
aminations given by their
students last Friday.

Sharon Atkins, owner of Mr.
Brown, gave him an exam in his
own field of English History.
Out of kindness to theslave, his
score will not be made public.

Dr. Hayes took a com-

prehensive examination in
Russian fiction, Milton, Donne,
and Shakespeare before a
crowd of students in the Hub.

Answering with ease such
questions as "Trace the
movements of the French and
Russian troops throughout War
and Peace." "What am I
quoting: 'O monstrous,
monstrous!'." and "If Tolstoy is
a fox and Dostoevsky is a
hedgehog, discuss complexity,
ambiguity, and irony in Mill on
the Floss/' Dr. Hayes, after
enlivening the examination

with remarks on the works of
Thomas Mann. Wagner,
Longinus. Goethe, and Horace,
came through with a 97 per
cent, giving him a grade of A.

The professors were treated
more kindly than their students
are after exams. Their owners
took them to the "Ship-A-hoy"
Friday night. After steak
suppers, the owners and slaves
did away with grievances and
spent three hours singing for
the other customers.

dancers can have access to
videotape equipment.

DanceAtlanta is currently
working on Atlanta's dance
archives, and would like to get
involved in a coordination of a
local, or perhaps regional, dance
calendar. This dance calendar
would be extremely important in
that it would help avert conflicts
such as the simultaneous dates
for Paul Taylor and the Panovs
last weekend. Another future
project of DanceAtlanta is the
coordination of a dance festival
with the City of Atlanta.

Another growing problem on
the Atlanta dance scene of major
proportions is the current
performing space situation.
Atlanta has a considerable lack of
appropriately-sized facilities for
performance. Most stages are
too large, too small, too expen-
sive, or otherwise inaccessible.
Ms. Hunter pointed out the fact
that Agnes Scott is fortunate in
having the flexibility of its own
performing facilities. Most local
groups have to rely on rentals of
unsatisfactory dance facilities for
their concerts.

However, the biggest problem
DanceAtlanta faces as a non-
profit organizations is a lack of
funds. Even with its various
sources of income, the scarcity of
money is a lingering problem.
The most important funds,
symbolically, are those coming
from ticket sales. DanceAtlanta
cannot continue to bring dance
talent to this area without public
support of dance events.

went on to say, "I don't feel one
big sisterhood. Nobody even
acts like they want to come
together." Suzi Gomez and
Sandy Fowler said that they did
not want the college to be "one
big sisterhood."

Some girls felt there was a
need for the financial aid office
to deal with the students in a
more personalized way. One
girl suggested that a seminar be
held to explain financial aid
forms and toexplain in depth the
financial air program.

When speaking about the
academic life of Agnes Scott
College, pressure seemed to be
the main concern. All of the
freshmen agreed that they are
under pressure most of the time,
but most agreed with Suzi
Gomez when she said that the
pressure is balanced; there is
enough to motivate, but not
enough tosmother. Onestudent
said that work assignments re-
quire discipline. "As freshmen,"
she said, "we haven't learned to
discipline ourselves." Dacia
Small said, "It's what I expected.
It's all a part of Scott." Most of
the group agreed that they
would not like to see academics
at Agnes Scott become easier,
even though that would relieve
some of the pressure.

In reference to student-faculty
relationships, Bess Cox said, "I
came with the idea that the
faculty would care more." Deb-
bie Ballard disagreed with Bess'
feeling that the faculty does not
care about the students. "The
professors care, sure," Debbie
said, "but they're not going to
pressure you."

After over an hour of dis-
cussion, the group disbanded to
return to their books, their beds
and their telephone calls.

John Lewis Gignilliat, associate
professor of history, usually tells
people that his last name rhymes
with skin-a-cat, but once this ex-
planation caused an awkward
moment. It seems the woman on
the other end of the telephone
line was with the DeKalb
Humane Society. Mr. Gignilliat
explained to her that he was
referring to a method of remov-
ing a sweater, not to actually
skinning cats. But most of the
time this explanation works
without creating difficult
situations.

John Gignilliat was born in
Clinton, South Carolina and
grew up in Macon, Georgia,
where his father was on the
faculty at Wesleyan College.
Because his father taught at
Wesleyan, Mr. Gignilliat as a
young boy was drafted to
participate in many ceremonies.
He carried May Day crowns and
once played one of the seven
dwarfs in "Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs" (not Dopey, he
hastened to add). After graduat-
ing from Darlington Preparatory
School, he received his B.A. from
the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill in English, his M.A.
from Emory University in the
French Revolution and his Ph.D.

from the University of Wis-
consin. During his college career
he also spent one year at the
University of Pennsylvania and
two weeks at Georgia Tech in
architecture and one term at
Columbia University.
"Fortunately," he said, "my
father was a patient man who
believed in education."

Mr. Gignilliat finally decided
to study history, because he
"wanted to know how we got
here," and because he feels the
past has an "immediate impact
on the present." The period of
history with which he feels the
greatest tie is that of America
since the Civil War. History, he
said, "if properly used, can even
deepen your understanding of
how things have changed." He
does not feel that glorification of
the physical past is glorification
of the social system that
produced it. Commenting
specifically on the history of the
South, Mr. Gignilliat said, "How
to be appreciative of the past
without being snobbish is, I
think, a very Southern problem."

The decision to teach was,
perhaps, a natural one because
of his background as a "faculty
brat," but Mr. Gignilliat said that
he never thought he would be a
teacher. There are certain ad-

mail distribution by the College
post office, and telephone
service through the College swit-
chboard (additional service may
be arranged through the
telephone company). Because of
limited electrical capacity, room
air-conditioners cannot be
authorized for installation in the
cottages. Infirmary service will
not be available during the
summer months. No pets will be
allowed in the cottages. College
regulations applicable during
the regular academic year will
also apply to the summer hous-
ing program.

Students interested in the
summer housing program may
obtain additional information
from Harriet Higgins of the Ad-
missions Office.

Gignilliat interviewed

vantages, he has found, in teach-
ing Southern history in Southern
colleges. "I, as a Southerner," he
said, "could say some things that
other people cannot." But this
theory was not applicable at the
University of Mississippi, where
he taught for a while. As a non-
Mississippian he was not con-
sidered an authority on their his-
tory.

Mr. Gignilliat chose to teach at
Agnes Scott, primarily in order to
be near his family, and he could
be closer to them here. He was
also influenced by what he called
the college's "serious, intellec-
tual history." Because of his past
connections with colleges and
universities, particularly small
Southern colleges, Mr. Gignilliat
felt he knew the context of
Agnes Scott College and would
feel like "Br'er Rabbit in the briar
patch."

He likes living in Atlanta,
because he feels it is one of the
most hopeful cities in terms of
change. The intellectual events,
the restaurants and the
entertainment offered in the city
are assets which he enjoys. Mr.
Gignilliat said that Atlanta has
enough trees, old sections and
traditions to be attractive, but he
feels the city has made a mistake
in overbuilding the downtown

ASC Alumnae
Day to be held

On Saturday, April 24, the ASC
Alumnae Association will spon-
sor its annual Alumnae Day. A
number of special events are
planned for the occasion, in ad-
dition to such yearly alumnae ac-
tivities as a luncheon, election of
officers, class meetings, and
various reunion functions. The
oldest class represented will be
the Class of 1906.

In the morning there will be a
panel discussion on "The Arts at
Agnes Scott." Mr. Ball will speak
on the creative writing program;
Mr. Brooking, theatre; Mr.
Byrnside, music; Mrs. Darling,
dance; and Mrs. Pepe, art.

The agenda for the As-
sociation's annual meeting will
include a tribute to retiring
professors Paul Garber and
Chloe Steel, as well as the
presentation of three Outstan-
ding Alumnae Awards. The
alumnae to be honored are
Sarah Frances McDonald '36,

Decatur attorney, for con-
tribution to the college; Carolyn
Essig Frederick '28, member of
the South Carolina House of
Representatives, for community
service; and Patricia Collins
Dwinnell '28, one of the first
women admitted to practice law
before the bar of the U. S.
Supreme Court, for dis-
tinguished career.

Other events include an in-
formal gathering of alumnae,
faculty, and retired faculty on the
quadrangle before the lun-
cheon, and new this year
the Husbands' Tennis
Tournament on Saturday
morning, which will give Alum-
nae spouses an opportunity to
compete for the coveted Con-
sort Cup.

Alumnae have also been in-
vited to attend the Phi Beta
Kappa lectures and the Golden
Needle show.

area. "Atlanta is one of my very
favorite places," he said,
"though physically I would
rather live in Savannah." Atlanta
offers the advantage of not being
too far from his non-winterized
cabin on Lake Burton, where he
spends part of his vacations. He is
sometimes joined there by his
niece and nephew and their
parents.

Mr. Gignilliat is concerned
that most of today's college
students are "products of a
television culture. . .People don't (cont'd, on p. 4, col. 1)

have the formal training in writ-
ing and don't read as much." But
he does not feel that this
problem is insurmountable if the
students care enough. Students
should not worry too much
about it, he feels. "They can do it,
if they'll just hang in there," he
said, adding that "the faculty
want to help students." A firm
believer in the values of a liberal
arts education, he is nevertheless
worried that students ex-

Editorial

We are women

Considering the fact that Agnes Scott is an institution dedicated to
the education of women, it is a continual surprise to find so little
interest or participation in activities oriented towards women's
consciousness-raising and our inevitable gaining of equal rights. Far
too many students are unaware of the facts, theories, and efforts
concerning the women's movement, and this ignorance renders
them incapable of forming intelligent, thoughtful opinions on
matters which, whether we actively participate in them or not, will
effect our future lives.

In a college like Agnes Scott, which provides a unique opportunity
for each individual young woman to prepare for whatever life style
she should decide to follow, it is discomforting that so few should be
aware of the variety from which they can choose. In conversation
with many students around the campus, it is quite apparent that a
wide-spread unawareness of their own possibilities presists even in
this day of mass media.

We do not advocate that Agnes Scott students join the screaming,
antagonistic herds fighting to ban such words as 'chairman' from our
everyday speech. It is hoped that Scotties possess a greater degree of
human (woman, perhaps?) understanding than to quibble over
language. In fact, we do not even go so far as to suggest that all Scott
students should support the ERA and other symbols of women's
struggles to have themselves recognized as equal to men.

In order that we should be able to decide freely and intelligently
about our futures, we must be aware of the issues as represented
from all sides. True liberation means that a woman has as much right
to choose the traditional role of housewife and mother as she has to
choose the role of a careerwoman. The important factor is that she
should make her choice, not because she is unaware of the
alternatives within her grasp, but because she has weighed the facts
and decided on the life which she feels best suits her. A housewife by
choice is as honorable a life as any, a housewife by unbroken
tradition is an example of a woman enslaving herself.

Agnes Scott has done a good job in providing speakers with differ-
ing views on these subjects, and hopefully it will continue and im-
prove. It is the responsibility of the individual however, to read,
listen, and above all keep an open mind, in order to avoid making a
serious personal mistake.

To the editor:

I would like to apologize
profusely to everyone at the
Mortar Board convocation
whose tasie I offended by my
presence as Motor Boat.
Thoughtlessly, I did not follow
someone's strong, impromptu
suggestion at eleven-thirty that I
not walk in the procession.

Since I was under the im-

presence at the end of the

urged me to take part and made
suggestions on the clothing I
should wear (whose suggestions
I followed), I only did what I

George W.
Scott: in
memorium

by Martha Yates
As long as there has been an
Agnes Scott campus, there have
been campus pets. Some have
belonged to faculty or staff, most
have been waifs who have made
their homes on campus and have
become beloved parts of the
College scene. They have come
in all shapes, breeds and colors,
these Agnes Scott pets, and have
asked for little except a warm,
dry place to sleep, some food,
and an occasional kind word or
pat on the head. They have
added warmth to the campus,
and have stilled many students'
heart-tugging feelings of
homesickness. They have given
unlimited love and have sought
only to please.

Such a campus pet was George
Washington Scott, the cat who
was named albeit somewhat
irreverently - 1 for the College's
founder. But there was general
agreement on campus that
Colonel Scott would not have
objected; George the cat was a
gentleman of discriminating
tastes, flawless manners, and a
gentle and aristocratic
demeanor. Dressed in sober
black stylishly accented by white
boots and spotless vest, George
was known on all parts of the
campus, although his particular
haunts were in the vicinity of In-
man, the dining hall, and the
Alumnae House. He had regular
rounds which he made daily, for
food and affection, and he was
cared for and loved by friends on
and off the campus.

On a recent beautiful April
morning ironically, the 13th
George uncharacteristically ven-
tured into the traffic of South
Candler, was struck by a passing
car, and died instantly.

He will be missed; the campus
is a little bleaker without him.

Again, my apologies to all
whose good time I ruined,
(though I believe my good time
was ruined more than anyone
else's) and especially to that
person for whom I "ruin[ed] the
dignity of the Mortar Board con-
vocation."

Julia's Child

by Julia Midkiff
Every night dozens of students
desert the Agnes Scott campus in
favor of studying at the Emory or
Georgia Tech libraries. Their ob-
ject: to meet men. Little do they
know that while they are out
scouting the local talent, the
boys are over here, prowling
about the McCain library, peer-
ing down the dim aisles of the
stacks and peeking over the tops
of the carrels in search of girls.
The ingenious way the two sexes
manage to avoid each other
makes one wonder if it might not
be a good idea to have a campus
showing of the old Connie Fran-
cis movie "Where the Boys Are."
At least Connie and her cohorts
found the men.

Once I was in the library work-
ing on a research paper when an
Emory law student interrupted
me. "I'm a fairly serious
student," he said, "but I want to
meet girls too. Can you tell me
where's the best place in here to
study and meet girls at the same
time?" Being a very amiable
person, I gave him a guided tour
of the building, pointing out the
girls who were not engaged.

It is true that it is rather difficult
to instigate a conversation with a
stranger in the library. After all,
what thought-provoking ques-
tions can you ask besides "How
do you feel about the relative
merits of the Dewey Decimal and
the Library of Congress
Systems?" And that is hardly the
way to win points. But every
once in a while outside forces
provide an excuse for
conversation. I shall never forget
the conversation I had in the
library one night with an Emory
student. Everyone else had
evacuated the building in order
to watch the streakers. But you
cannot always wait for streakers
to break the ice for you;
sometimes the direct approach is
necessary.

Last week one of the few
faithful who use our library was
studying quietly when a young
man approached her, in-
troduced himself and asked her
for a date. To put it bluntly, she
was picked up in our own library.
Let this be a lesson to all those
who think the grass is greener on
the other side; there is no place
like home!

The Studio Dance Theatre of
Agnes Scott presents a concert of
modern dance Thursday and
Friday, April 29 and 30. The free
performances are at 8:15 p.m. in
Presser Hall.

The 23-member Studio Dance
Theatre, formerly the Agnes
Scott Dance Group, is directed
by Marilyn Darling, ASC dance
instructor. Mrs. Darling has
choroegraphed one of the
concert selections, "Dionysus
and Maenads," based on the
Greek myth of the Maenad
women who left their families to
dance forever with the god
Dionysus. Dancing to the music
of "Dionysus and Maenads" by
Weil will be Josette Alberts, Pam
Braswell, Mary Jane Norville,
Sarah Windham, and guest artist
Mike Moore.

Moore, who holds a degree in
dance from The Florida State
University, has served as guest
artist at Agnes Scott for two
years. He recently performed as
guest artist with the Pennsylvania
Dance Workshop, and will
premiere his work "As Then As
Now" in this year's concert. This
dance is a lyrical interpretation
of the past that moves into a fast-
paced jazz motif of today's
modern music. Dancers are
Josette Alberts, Bess Cox, Cheryl
Kitchens, Sarah Windham, and
Patsy Peavy (ASC Class of 75).

Studio Dance Theatre
President Josette Alberts has
choroegraphed "Shadows," set
to "Chorus of Shadows" by
Harry Purtch. The four dancers
featured in "Shadows" are Rita
Kitts, Susan McCullough, Ginni
Rockwell, and Lois Turner. The
emphasis of this selection on
strong, linear movement gives
the dancers an objective, rather
than human, quality.

The music of Charles Ives is
featured in "Flirtations," a
modern lyrical composition by
Mary Jane Norville. Dancing in
the roles of two flirtatious
couples are Susi Gomez, Laura
McDonald, Lois Turner, and
Ginni Rockwell.

"Blues," choroegraphed by
Pam Braswell, is a blend of
modern and soft jazz
movements inspired by Jay
Fuller's rendition of the Samuel
Barber music in his winter, 1976,
recital. Bess Cox, Denise Floyd,
Susi Gomez, Pam Roukoski, and
Lydia Wilkes will dance to
Fuller's piano arrangement.

Sally Stamper's "Sunne Rising"
will be presented by Pam Eason,
Laura McDonald, and Mary Jane
Norville. Inspired by one of John
Donne's poems, "Sunne Rising"

is choreographed to music by
Erik Satie.

Mary Anne Barlow, Pam
Roukoski, and Lydia Wilkes are
the dancers of "A Way of Life,"
which explores religious themes
through ballet and modern
movement. Based on the "Prayer
of St. Francis of Assisi," "A Way
of Life" is choroegraphed by
Cindy Hodges.

The diversity of themes in the
concert compositions is com-
pleted by the thoroughly
American "Git Fiddler,"
choroegraphed by Cheryl Kit-
chens. Suzanne Cox, Cindy
Hodges, Henny Leland, Linda
McColl, and Melinda Tanner will
combine modern dance techni-
ques with the rock music of
Jefferson Starship's "Git Fid-
dler."

Students win
drama contest

Two Agnes Scott students of
Russian, Mary Lipscomb and
Toni Meador, took the prize for
best cast for their performance at
the annual college foreign
language drama contest
"Dionysia" held at Clemson
University on April 10. Mary
Lipscomb also won best actress
and Toni Meador received
honorable mention for best ac-
tor. The two were directed by
Vladimir Volkoff, assistant
professor of French and Russian
at Agnes Scott.

The prize-winning play was
"Good Morning" by Zoschenko.
The comedy revolved around a
working man who continually

got into trouble because of his
lack of discipline.

The award for the division first
prize is an engraved plaque
which will be given to the
College. For their individual
prizes for acting, the two
students received Russian books.
Mary was given a spoon from
Russia, and Tony was given a
Russian doll.

Both Mary and Toni especially
appreciated the opportunity to
converse in Russian with the
other contest participants. Mary
commented that through the
contest she "realized that Rus-
sian was a language and not a
secret code."

Moments Remembered

Freshman orientation has
had unsurmountable values,
but the upperclassmen note,
with an attitude of regret, the
slow but sure development
from the delicious believing
greenness to a ripe sophis-
tication in the newcomers. .
Their relatively quick adap-
tation to college life brings
recollections of days of yore
when freshmen experienced
more trials and tribulations,
such as that memorable oc-
casion when, upon being in-
vited to a reception at the
Alumnae House at 4:30, Brooks
Spivey arrived at 4:29 because,
as she explains now, she had an
appointment in town later.

Dorothy Hutton rushed
immediately upstairs, rounded
the much-flustrated receiving

line, herded them downstairs,
and Brooks was greeted and
received in all due pomp and
glory. After this ordeal she
drank her punch in silence and
left without a word at least five
minutes before the other
guests arrived.

More tragic in its results was
the escapade with Helen
Tucker, Edith Merlin, and Lita
Gross, experienced the year
before. Being invited to a tea at
the Alumnae House, they, in-
nocent souls, entered the back
entrance, passed through the
hall, and were graciously told as
they filed through that it was
too bad they were leaving so
soon, that it had been lovely
having them, and that they
must come back again.

October 9, 1935

Gignilliat interview

(cont'd, from p. 7, col. 3)

perience a moment of panic at
the thought of not being
qualified for a job. There is "one
thing that worries me," he said,
"about what we do to you folks. .
.I think there's a sense of shelter

here. I don't know how well we
prepare people to go out and
face the world. . .I don't think
this is unique with this college,
but it is one of our special
problems."

Mr. Gignilliat is concerned
about maintaining "honorable
tradition" Agnes Scott has as an
academic institution. "I wish the
intellectual commitment were
more serious," he said. But he

went on to say, "I respect a
person who is content to get a C,
if she has other interests,
provided she doesn't expect a
high grade."

When asked what was the
most memorable thing that had
happened at this college since he
has been here, Mr. Gignilliat
drew a blank. Earlier, though, he
had said that the Agnes Scott
College graduation that he had

enjoyed most was one that was
interrupted by rain. He laughed
about carrying the left front leg
of a table as they moved indoors.
As he explained why this was his
favorite graduation, he said, "I
don't like pomp and
circumstance."

Flagpole RC
passed in Rep

The majority of the Rep meet-
ing of April 20 was spent in dis-
cussion on the recommendation
that a flagpole be bought and
erected in the squad. A motion
that the subject be tabled until,
further information was
gathered was defeated. The
recommendation that the
flagpole be purchased was voted
on and passed. The probably
location of the flagpole will be in
the quad, between Main and
Rebekah. along the brick wall
which runs from Butterick to the
colonade.

Tammy Shell, editor of the
1977 Silhouette asked Rep to es-
tablish a financial account for the
Silhouette separate from SGA.
The recommendation that the
Silhouette have a separate ac-
count and report quarterly to

Rep passed unanimously.

President Cindy Hodges an-
nounced that on Thursday, April
29, a ''Sound-off" will be held
during chapel period to allow
board members, class presidents
and other student officials to
speak and respond to questions
from the student body. Sunday
night desserts in the Hub, a s
program designed to increase
the sense of community on cam-
pus, will begin May 2, to be held
from 5 30-6:30. Festivities for the
AA Picnic to be held on May 19
are being coordinated along the
lines of "Almost Anything
Goes," according to Hodges.

In Rep next week, the campus
drinking policy will be reviewed,
in two weeks Rep will vote on
whether or not to renew this
policy.

conjunction with the Emory G-
PIRG, has undertaken a survey
on the Georgia state pricing of
pharmaceuticals.

Currently, no pharmacy in
Georgia can advertise the prices
for prescription drugs. G-PIRG
hopes to change the Georgia
laws so that open advertising for
prescription drugs will be pos-
sible, which will hopefully lower
drug prices.

Actually, there is a difference
between the prices of the
generic drug and the brand
name drug. What happens isthat
the company which develops a
particular drug receives a 17-year
patent on that drug; most often
the generic drug becomes

known by that company's brand
name for it (for example,
Proposyphene Cpd. 65 is known
to us as Darvon). The brand
name drug is also usually the
most expensive. Georgia law also
specifies that, even if the patient
requests it, if the prescription is
for the brand name, there can be
no generic substitute (even if it is
less expensive) for that drug.

The Agnes Scott and Emory G-
PIRGs plan to conduct a
telephone survey of Atlanta
pharmacies for 15 different com-
mon drugs, to find that drug's
average dosage and its price. The
telephone survey method has
been found to be the easiest and
fastest way to gain accurate in-
formation, and will include a fair

representation geographically of
Atlanta area pharmacies. The
survey should not take over two
weeks. If this study can be well-
enough documented and statis-
tically proven, G-PIRG hopes it
will lead to legislation for open
advertising for prescription
drugs.

G-PIRG has been previously
successful in the passage of
Senate Bill 472, concerning lan-
dlord/tenant laws.

any student who would like to

Coping, Inc. founded at ASC

Martha Huntington, Dean of
Students and Martha Yates,
editor of the Alumnae Quarterly
are two enterprising women
who have joined in the
partnership to form Coping, Inc.
Left alone by the deaths of their
husbands to raise children, they
have learned through their own
experiences that most women
are not prepared to face the
reality of life alone. Therefore,
the stated purpose of their new
corporation is to help women
alone cope with their emotion,
obligations and problems. They
will be conducting a series of
seminars totaling eight hours in
which single women, divorced
women and widows can hold
discussions and receive practical
solutions.

The topics range from money
to children to sex to the prac-
ticalities of contemporary life:
cars, insurance, safety and such.

Dean Huntington and Mrs.
Yates feel that by coming!
together and sharing various life
situations with other women
alone, a real need can be served.

In an interview for the Profile
Dean Huntington and Mrs. Yates
explained how they joined
together to form the
corporation. Said Dean Hun-
tington: "It was a relatively fast
thing. When the first article on

by Sandra Saseen

Martha's book (Coping: A
survival manual for Women
alone) came out in January, I
called to offer her my best
wishes. We found out that there
is a need for women to be
counseled. We agreed between
the two of us on presenting this
idea in the form of semina^
programs where we could ad-
dress groups of women."

They first talked to Dr. Perry
before making any
arrangements and they found
Dr. Perry to be "very sup-
portive."

Said Dean Huntington: "We
found that there's no other
organization like this. We are
now actually incorporated with
our own trademark."

The first seminar will be held in
May at North Decatur Pres-
byterian Church. Dean Hun-
tington and Mrs. Yates would
like to hold them in churches in
order to keep costs "down to a
minimum." "We have found the
ministers in the area to be very
encouraging," Dean Huntington
remarked. "Ministers today are
finding out that you can't deal
with these particular problems
from a book. Women can help
each other." Said Mrs. Yates:
"The first session is just talking to
women and letting them talk to
us." As a concluding remark she

added: "Just put yourself in this
position. You're married for
fifteen years. You haven't ever
bought a car. You have to know
practical things. It's all
pertinent."

It is the hope of Dean Hun-
tington and Mrs. Yates that theie
seminars will help women
realize that they are not alone.

No change reported
in financial aid

Dean Martha C. Huntington,
Chairman of the Financial Aid
Committee, reports that there
has been no change in Agnes
Scott's Financial Aid program of
the procedure used to
determine the amount of aid a
student receives. No new
policies or cutbacks have been
initiated in the Financial Aid
program; however, more
students are receiving aid, and
the available funds must be dis-
tributed among a greater
number than ever before. The
increase in recipients of financial
aid is expected to continue, and
Agnes Scott must be careful not
to exhaust its resources. For this
reason, loans are often part of
the financial aid package for
upperclassmen. Loans are dis-
tributed at 6% interest, and there
is a maximum amount which
students may be asked to accept.
Incoming freshmen are not
asked to accept loans; the Finan-
cial Aid Committee feels that
students should accept more

financial responsibility as they
mature.

Agnes Scott is still able to meet
the student's full financial need
as computed in the PCS form,
which applicants for financial aid
must complete. Dean Hun-
tington emphatically states, "We
still want to help students that
need help," and adds that unless
a mistake was made, there is a
change in the amount of finan-
cial aid only if there is a change in
the family's financial situation.
Mistakes, however, can and do
occur during the process of
determining the amount of
financial aid to be given.
Students who feel that an error
has been made in the amount of
their financial aid for next year
should see Miss Stapleton or
Dean Huntington in order to ex-
amine their records, and they
should submit a written request
to the Financial Aid Committee
asking that their records be
reviewed.

Scott dorms toured

by Eleanor Yancey
It is nearly time to choose
rooms for next year. This annual
event has hitherto gone un-
publicized. An armchair tour of
the dorms is now available for
those who have thus far found
the long distances between
dormitories too taxing to cover
on foot.

Walters dorm is the closest to
the dining hall. Being one of the
larger dorms on campus, it has
plenty of washing machines and
dryers, a large study area in the

basement and the buzz system
(which enables each person to
know they have a visitor without
using the hall extensions). There
are also carpeted halls and some
built-in dressers. One minus to
Walters is the noisy heating
system.

Hopkins is noted for its
seclusion. Each resident has her
own key to the dorm. The halls
are carpeted and a good study

Define liberal arts

Seven students from Agnes Scott participated in the New
Hampshire primary from February 18th to 25th. Other students came
from Emory University, Georgia State University and the University of
Georgia. Our students were penalized for missing five days of classes,
the other students were not. While it goes without saying that these
seven students would be expected to make up for tests and as-
signments missed, it came as a keen disappointment to many students
and faculty that Academic Standards Committee would reprimand
students who were trying to take theoretical knowledge and apply it
in an appropriate situation. In a letter addressed to the campus
(Profile, April 9), these seven students expressed their concern over
Agnes Scott's "narrow conception of 'educational value/ " They
were also distressed by the lack of guidelines through which to
appeal the decision rendered by the Absence Committee.

It seems that students here have often (perhaps mistakenly) as-
sumed that the college would live up to its ideals of a liberal arts
education by encouraging students to apply classroom skills to the
"real world." The seven students have asserted, with good reason,
that their experiences in New Hampshire were very worthwhile and
provided a much needed supplement to their political science
studies. Agnes Scott's disciplinary action is very unfortunate because
it serves as a warning to those students who are trying to broaden
their concepts of a liberating education.

It makes one wonder how long it will be before Agnes Scott em-
braces educational experiences that deviate from the "straight and
narrow path." Meanwhile more students transfer (another editorial
in itself) in order to seek another good college which actually en-
dorses flexibility in a liberal arts education.

It is strongly recommended that the aforementioned committees
reassess their views on the educational value of various experiences
that have come before them to be judged. Creativity and flexibility
are the two essential components in maintaining the idealsof a liberal
arts education.

If Agnes Scott becomes a
"Women's College", where shall
we send our girls?

Such is the lament overheard
in the parlor of a typical mid-
dleclass couple somewhere in
the ozone layers of middle
America. They have heard
rumors to the effect that ol'
Aggie Scott is beginning to rear
her pretty little head and assert
herself. They have heard that she
is starting to think of herself as a
"Women's College" rather than
a "Girl's School". They have
heard, in effect, that not only is
she rejecting her "maiden"
name, but she is rejecting offers
of marriage as well! (Imagine
all these years, and still not co-
ed.) There has, however, been
the slightest hint of a certain in-
timacy with Georgia Tech which
leads one to surmise the pos-
sibility of a merger at some
future date. Whatever would we
call such a union? Georgia Scott?
Agnes Tech?

You've come a long way,
Aggie, but you've got a long,
long way to go toward being a
Women's College. Does your
English department offer a
course in women's literature?
There are mountains of quality
women writers, down through
the ages, from Sappho to Joyce
Carol Oates, but have they been
awarded an ounce of the atten-
tion they deserve?

And as for your history
department, the fact that there
exists no course on the history
and contribution of women, is
outrageous. (But then, it has
only been a year or two since
Black History was instated.
Perhaps one oughtn't be
greedy.)

Then, there's the political
science department always
aware of the current state of af-
fairs. They, of course, are offer-
ing a course covering women in
American politics, not to men-
tion hosting a speaker from the

announcing. . .

Cindy Hodges, President of
SGA would like to inform
students that her office hours are
every Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoon from 2:00 until 3:00.
Her office is located on the main

tends towards N. McDonough
St. Anyone with suggestions or
ideas which apply to SGAareen-
couraged to drop by and share
them with Cindy.

Students are strongly urged
not to miss the meetings to be
held at 11 :30 on Monday, May 3,
which deal with procedures for
Course Selection Week.
Freshmen will meet in Maclean,
Sophomores in the biology lec-

ture room, and Juniors in Gaines.

Ah, Theatre only one
"Women In the Arts" produc-
tion? That was nice. Now, how
about just one feminist play; I'll
settle for one with a non-
neurotic, non-weak, non-loser,
non - pseudo - drag - queen
character. (She can even be the
maid!) i Make me an offer I can't
refuse. At this point, I'm
desperate.

quette 101 next year. Peachy.

Julia's Child

Spring Fever strikes again

by Julia Midkiff

It is that time of year again. It is
the season when class atten-
dance is high only on the days it
rains, when the scent of suntan
oil overpowers the smell of fish
frying in the dining hall, when
competition in the classroom is
replaced by competition in the
dining hall as each sun
worshipper compares her tan
with that of everyone who passes
her table, and when the traffic
copter flies low over the Huband
on occasion even stops to hover.
It is the sunbathing season.

The non-sunbather often finds
herself clearing an obstacle
course of brown, greasy, scan-
tily-clad bodies as she makes her
way across campus. Last spring a
male friend of mine, when going

from the dining hall to Walters,
was trying so hard not to stare at
the nearly naked girls along the
way, that he stepped on a few.
Wall-to-wall sunbathers can
create a safety hazard. It is not in-
conceivable that my friend could
have been seriously injured by
slipping on a well-oiled arm or
leg.

Sunbathers serve as an added
attraction (or distraction) to
tours of the campus. Recently I
decided that the middle-aged
couple to whom I was playing
hostess might like to see the
Alumnae Garden. The sight of
several sun-worshippers caused
a sudden detour through the
bushes in order to avoid an em-
barrassing situation. Even the
detour proved to be disastrous,
however, as it seems the bushes

were infested with bees.

All intelligent conversation
ceases during sunbathing
season. Dinner conversation is
limited to a discussion of the best
places, the best times, the best
suntan oils, the pains of peeling
and the agonies of sunburns. To
the casual eavesdropper it would
seem that nearly every student is
majoring in the Art of Browning
(not to be confused with Robert
or Elizabeth Barrett) or that Sun-
tan 101 is a required course.

Even as I write this there is a
steady flow of girls past my door,
all on their way to Inman's
Riviera. Each girl is wearing the
Agnes Scott College spring
uniform, a bikini, t-shirt, and
sunglasses, and each is dragging
her security towel behind her.

Family Plot

Film provides
good entertainment

by Liz Hornsby

Family Plot is unlikely to go
down in cinematic history as one
of director Alfred Hitchcock's
masterpieces, but it is a good,
satisfying "entertainment pic-
ture" nonetheless, a likeable film
if not a classic.

It is difficult to describe the
plot without revealing too much,
so suffice it to say that Family Plot
is the story of a fraudulent
spiritualist, Madame Blanche
(Barbara Harris), and her
boyfriend George (Bruce Dern),
an aspiring actor currently work-
ing as a cab-driver, as well as
reluctant private investigator for
Blanche. Trying to track down
the long-lost nephew of wealthy
dowager Julia Rainbird
(Cathleen Nesbitt), they unex-
pectedly and dangerously cross
paths with another couple,
Arthur and Fran Adamson
(William DeVane and Karen
Black), who are by day a
prosperous jeweler and his wife,
and by night a team of highly ef-
ficient big-time kidnappers.
Along the way the plot is fleshed
out with such goodies as a fake
grave and various other red
herrings, and three attempted
murders.

Family Plot is, for a thriller,
somewhat short on scares; the
only really frightening scene
comes when Arthur Adamson
manhandles Blanche in his
garage. The film is also overdone
in several spots, such as the first
murder attempt, larded with
comic relief which is funny for

about forty-five seconds but runs
on for a couple of minutes; or
the very last scene of the film,
which adds windfall to triumph
for Blanche and George, but a
cuteness to the screenplay which
Family Plot would be better off
without. Another bone to be
picked involves the irritatingly
unclear emphasis on some white
stuff that George finds seeping
out from under the door of the
Adamsons' garage. If anyone can
explain to me why it deserves
such attention, or even why it's
there, cinematically speaking, I
would be grateful.

But Family Plot has many good
points. For starters, the acting is
marvelous. It is hard to single out
one of the four principles, but
William DeVane deserves special
mention. Probably best known
for his fine portrayal of John
Kennedy in the television special
The Missiles of October, he also,
it turns out, makes a spec-
tacularly good villain, playing
Adamson as chillingly cold-
blooded, yet possessed of a
violent temper that can ffare up
with sudden virulence. Family
Plot also offers interesting
characters; many nice touches of
humor (including some well-
phrased ribaldry); a minimum of
deus ex machine -type coin-
cidences; and a very good
harpsichord score by John
Williams.

All things considered, then,
Family Plot's pluses outweigh its
minutes, adding up to an en-
joyable two hours of escapist
fare.

Moments Remembered

Two events of this week are
to be the inter-dormitory
basketball games, and the Miss
Health Contest.

The contest will be held in
the gymnasium on Friday
evening, and each campus
organization will have one en-
trant. The contestants are
judged on the main points
which are considered in
physical exams weight,
carriage, posture, and feet.

In 1931 Sara Hill, the
representative of the Y.W.C.A.,
was accorded the honor of Miss
Health. Sara was an all-round
girl interested in swimming,
hockey, water polo, track, and
tennis. . .In 1930 Laura Spivey,
then only a freshman, captured
the prize. . .Besides taking
plenty of vigorous exercise,

Spivey finds that oatmeal is a
great help and all those who eat
oatmeal are a step nearerto the
goal of being Miss Health.

from The Agonistic
February 3, 1932

For the first time in the his-
tory of the college, a moving
picture was shown in the
Gymnasium. . .This came as a
pleasing break in the
monotony of the quarantine
which has prevented us from
attending the theatres in
Atlanta and Decatur. The pic-
ture shown was The Crimson
City, a thrilling melodrama of
life in Singapore. . .After the
performance, there was an im-
promptu dance.

Clean Air Week held May 2-8

Clean Air Week, sponsored by
the Georgia Lung Association in
cooperation with the American
Lung Association and affiliated
lung associations, is May 2-8. Its
purpose is to "inform the public
about the dangers of air
pollution to the lungs and to
show how individuals and
concerned groups can help
clean up the air."

The Lung Association is
concerned with Clean Air Week
because of its recognition that
polluted air can "break down the
defenses of the lungs and
breathing system, making
people more susceptible to
acute respiratory illnesses (colds,
influenza, pneumonia) and con-
tributing to chronic diseases
(emphysema, chronic bron-
chitis, asthma, lung cancer and
heart disease)." The major
sources of this air pollution are

there is an added sense of com-

Zounds

Bo Ball Bares all

It is easier to pin down a drop
of mercury in one spot than to
trap Bo Ball, Associate Professor
of English, for a ten minute
interview. That's why I made it
simple and convenient I sup-
plied him with a questionnaire;
all he needed to do was fill it out
and hand it back. Flying past me
in Buttrick one day, he ex-
claimed, (he never talks, he ex-
claims, cries, guffaws, bellows)
"Loved that questionnaire!
Really funny! "

"Funny nothing, Mr. Ball, fill
the thing out and get it back to
me. I was serious about an
interview and I've got a
deadline."

I waited a week. I had heard
through the A.S.C. Grapevine
that he had taken off for The
Kentucky Derby and had just
gotten back on Monday. I hated
to hassle him, but a faculty
interview is a faculty interview
and a deadline is a deadline, so, I
hassled. The results should prove
most provocative:

Where do you come from and
why?

I fell into the state and I hun-
ched in its belly till my wet fur
froze.

What on earth possessed you
to come to Agnes Scott?

To escape the steady
heartbreak of c-'s (c-minuses).
The school was considered one
of the best undergraduate
colleges in the South. I wanted to
remain' in the South, and I
wanted to teach in an at-
mosphere of academic ex-
cellence.

Are you aware, that in an unof-
ficial campus-wide poll, 9 out of
10 Freshmen girls (Freshmen
boys were excluded) are secretly
harboring a crush on you? How
do you account for the
phenomenon?

Myopia.

Some of your fiction has been
published in such magazines as
the Virginia Quarterly and the
Roanoke Review. Of the two I've
read, both take place in the
South and are about working-
class, country people. Are they,

By Anicia Lane

in any way, autobiographical?
Are they based on persons you
knew?

Stories have been published or
accepted for publication in
Roanoke Review (two stories);
Southern Humanities Review
(2); Aura; Prairie Schooner; and
Barataria Review. All except one,
have Appalachia as their setting.
Parts and sometimes wholes are
based on persons I have known.

Who are some of your favorite
contemporary writers of fiction?
Poetry?

Eudora Welty favorite. Very
fond of Cormac McCarthy, John
Young, Morgan Berry, and
William Goyer.

What century would you have
preferred to have lived in? Why?

16th, before Queen Elizabeth
lost her hair, her teeth, and
turned nasty. Never before or aft
(sic.) was the English language so
alive, and when language is alive,
man is alive.

If it could be arranged, what
writer out of the past would you
most like to meet and have a long
chat with?

Ben Jonson at the Mermaid
Tavern; Flannery O'Connor at
Golgotha.

What short story, poem, coun-
try-western song, etc., do you
wish you'd written?

Story? "A Worn Path," Eudora
Welty. Song? "Ruth is Growing
Ruthless" (also like Loretta
Haggar's collected works.)

What do you want to be when
you grow up?

The owner of a thoroughbred.

How have your students
changed since you began teach-
ing here? (In terms of the quality
of the work and seriousness of
the student's attitudes.)

Yes. Students no longer excell
in critical writing, but their
creative powers seem to be
keener. They lack logic; but they
are visually educated. To see the
new excellence, look at the art
work in Dana, when it is dis-
played. Read Aurora. For joy,
listen to the students in the Hub.
Stay away from faculty meetings.
Students are not as serious as
they used to be. Most of them

are here for reasons other than
"academic." With our inflated
grading, we pretend the change
has not occurred. Their training,
before they arrive here, is spotty,
to say the least . They come with
trunks of great ideas. I would
prefer a few specific details.

Finish this statement: If I were
King of Agnes Scott, I'd

defect to Liechtenstein to
learn to ski.

On a scale from 1-10, how
would you rate Decatur? Atlan-
ta? Georgia? Kentucky?

Decatur: IV2; Atlanta: a bland
6; Georgia: .002; Kentucky: 7.

What do you do for "kix"?
(Legally).

Read; write; play bridge;
drink beer; gamble on horses;
watch Mary Hartman; listen to
Ludlow; entertain guests.

What is the most outstanding
event you ever remember
happening at Agnes Scott?

Watching Robertta (sic.)
Winter, ex-Chairman of Speech
and Drama, buy stamps in the P.
O. (She always matched the
envelope with the stamp. She
also tried to match the stamp to
the person. We shall not see her
likes again.) Second? Hearing
Miss Glick, ex-Chairman of Clas-
sics, laugh. Third? Seeing a
particular student win a prize for
a poem.

Do you like Cadillacs? What
then? [This question refers to a
short-story I had written in Mr.
Ball's Creative Writing course,
fall quarter, about a woman with
a Cadillac fettish].

I am bored by people who talk
about cars, psycles, (sic.)
sprockets, spark plugs, C.B.'s I
like people who know at least
seven kinds of sauerkraut; thirty
kinds of cheese; ten gins. I like
people who observe "the
mysteries in manners," and are
able to report these mysteries
with wit and warmth. These are
the ones who. see life on the
Interstates. Saw a fellow this
week-end driving a car with his
feet. The car? American, I
believe.

Rep reports

RC 175

At the Rep Council meeting of
May 11 , a motion was heard and
passed unanimously for a Rep
Council fall retreat to be held on
campus on September 17, 1976.
Lecture committee, Library com-
mittee, CAP, and the Committee
on Student Life gave their
reports.

RC 175 concerning mandatory
attendance at special con-
vocations was passed by a two-
thirds majority. A letter from
Dean Huntington was read
which stressed the fact that the
action taken after three unex-
cused absences will not be dis-

passes

ciplinary, but will attempt to help
the student understand, her res-
ponsibilities.

The constitution of Students
for Black Awareness was read
and accepted unanimously. This
will go to the Administrative
Committee for final ap-
provement before the group can
become an official campus
organization.

The recommendation for fun-
ding of G-pirg was presented
and discussed. This recommen-
dation will be voted on next
week.

ASC tennis team
finishes season

The Agnes Scott Tennis Team
finished its season with 8 wins
and 4 losses, an acceptable
record for such a young team
belonging to a small college. Out
of 12 matches, the Tennis Team
has been able to prove its win-
ning ability to 8 opposing teams,
including a first-time victory
over Emory (5-4). Under the
effective coaching of Ann
McConnell, the ASC Tennis
Team will, for the second year in
a row, compete in the State Ten-
nis Tournament on the weekend
of May 14-16. The Team Line-up
for the tournament is as follows:
Singles #1 Harriett Graves, #2
Terrie Keeler, #3 Katherine
Harris, #4 Alice Lightle,#5
Wilson, #6 Kim Gzeckowicz;
Doubles #1 Graves-Keeler, #2

Lightle-Susi Pedrick, #3 Harris-
Gzeckowicz. Ms. McConnell is
the State Tennis Chairperson of
the tournament, which will be
held at Milledgeville, Georgia,
and hosted by Georgia College.
The finals will be played on Sun-
day, May 16. Spectators are in-
vited and welcomed to come
watch the tournament. Since the
ASC Tennis Team has a very good
chance of doing well at
Milledgeville (Harriett Graves
and Terri Keeler were runners-
up of the doubles match in last
year's tournament, and they are
a promising pair for this year)
and since Ms. McConnell is
"running the whole thing," the
tournament is sure to be
worthwhile for those who want
to go and support the team.

Editorial

A Smelly dilemma

Student responsibility has been receiving an unusual amount of
attention recently as a result of the mandatory convacation issue.
Although our responsibilities to the college are very great, our res-
ponsibilities to each other are even more important for they will con-
tinue as long as we live in society far beyond the years spent at
college. More than anything else, if we are to live together
peacefully, we must have consideration for each other. The particular
problem in mind is smoking.

For those people on campus who do not smoke, the smell is un-
pleasant and often very offensive. Who can claim to enjoy walking
through the mail room with freshly-shampooed hair, and leaving it
smelling like someone's ashtray? Or sitting down to a meal and
hardley being able to taste the food because of the smoke drifting in
front of your face? In this day when environmental pollution is such a
major issue, it is amazing to witness the number of people who have
no qualms over polluting the immediate environment of their
neighbors and themselves.

As long as smoking remains legal in this country, every cigarette
smoker can wave the constitution in the face of the few individuals
assertive enough to object. But if we approach this problem as an at-
tack-defense dilemma, nothing will be accomplished. Non-smokers
must show their consideration by not being totally unreasonable.
Whereas one would be justified in asking a person not to smoke in a
small, poorly-ventilated area, insisting that someone in your general
vicinity outdoors abstrain is carrying things too far. The greatest res-
ponsibility lies with those who smoke, however, since they are ac-
tively creating the unpleasant effects. When you light a cigerette,
don't do it thoughtlessly. Be aware of where you are and who is
around you. If you are in a close, poorly-ventilated area, ask the
people around you if they mind if you smoke. Most non-smokers are
much more likely to put up with a cigarette if the person smoking it
showed enough respect for them to ask before lighting up.

With legislation on cigarette smoking becoming stricter and more
widespread, we should all prepare to ease the transition from a
society in which smoking was chic to a society where smoking is con-
sidered a pollutant with "no redeeming social value."
Thoughtfulness and consideration will mean less difficulty for all of us
in our efforts for co-existence.

Dear Editor:

Concerning my letter to the
editor (April 30) regarding the
lack of recognition toward the
contribution of women in all
areas of knowledge, I have since
been informed that two major
texts used by the Economic
Development class last quarter
were written by women ex-
perts in their field. My thanks to
Marty Howell for passing on this
information. And my apologies
to those departments whose toes
I may have stepped on by ac-
cident.

Anicia Lane

Dear Editor:

Having recently resigned from
the faculty, I would like to re-
quest your indulgence to reflect
on my experience here and to
offer some thoughts about the
future of Agnes Scott. I found
Agnes Scott to be in many ways
an admirable institution with an
intelligent, capable student
body, and a talented, dedicated
faculty. I reluctantly leave
behind many good friends and
fond memories. But while my as-
sociation with the College has
been rewarding personally, I
must admit to misgivings about
its future. I arrived at ASC in the
fall of 1971 in the midst of an
enrollment crisis which many as-
sumed was caused by external
factors beyond our control and
not by internal factors of
personnel and curriculum. Ad-
mittedly, small liberal arts
colleges had problems in the
early 1970's, but it remains to be
explained why Agnes Scott with
uncommon advantages of en-
dowment, plant, faculty, and
reputation experienced such a
severe drop and has been so slow
to recover. If we have been
permitted to survive the crisis of
the 1970's with a few real
changes, evidence indicates that
this will not be true for the far
larger crisis we are warned is
coming in the early 1980's. Agnes
Scott has a respite of perhaps
four years in which to build as
strong an institution as possible
before the wolf really is at the
door. I submit that the College is

at a crossroads between genuine
excellence and mediocrity.

The ability of Agnes Scott to
prepare for a difficult future is,
however, hindered by a general
malaise. The College is failing to
excite the devotion and en-
thusiasm of many of its best
people. Many students and
faculty feel a deep sense of frus-
tration. Although the field of
education nationally is in
ferment, we have remained in-
sulated and parochial. Despite its
great potential, Agnes Scott
remains an underachiever. Why?
One reason may be that our
rhetoric about standards,
traditions, and the integrity of
the liberal arts notwithstanding,
we have lost sight of what these
mean in a world of hunger,
poverty, greed, addiction, and
violence from which we remain
peculiarly aloof. We are
reminded that without vision
people perish, and yet we have
allowed our vision to be con-
sumed by a preoccupation for
procedure, propriety, stability,
and something called "academic
(as opposed to intellectual?) ex-
cellence".

But how to restore vision? Un-
fortunately I have no special
talents in this direction, and so
what I have to offer is far more
modest. I suggest that we begin
by recognizing that our small
size confers no special advantage
unless we deliverately act to
enhance the quality of personal
relationships, the extent of
participation, and the degree of
institutional flexibility. With
these in mind I recommend con-
sideration of the following
changes:

1. I suggest that the Office of
Academic Dean be staffed so as
to become a leverage point for
innovations, a catalyst for
intellectual creativity, a bridge to
other colleges, and a unifying
factor between the faculty and
the administration. A large
order, but by no means an im-
possible one. To provide a
regular influx of new ideas, I
suggest that the Academic Dean
be given a term of four years with
one possible additional term

announcing.

The library has announced
that it will be open the following
additional hours: Saturday, May
22 6:00-10:30 p.m.; Saturday,
May 29 6:00-10:30 p.m.

On Wednesday, May 19
Awards Convocation will be held
at 11:30 a.m. in Gaines
Auditorium. All students are en-
couraged to attend.

A summer tennis program of
group and private lessons for
children and adults will be
offered at Agnes Scott June 7
through September 3. Beginning
and intermediate level instruc-
tion will be offered in classes
limited to ten students. Each class
session will run two weeks for
one hour a day, Monday through
Friday. Group lessons will be at 8,
9. 10 and 11 a.m., 12 noon and 1
and 2 p.m. The fee for group les-

sons is $15 per two-week session.
Students must provide their own
tennis attire, racket and balls.
Private lessons may be scheduled
after June 7, the fee is $3 per half
hour or $6 per hour.

In addition to lessons, the
Agnes Scott tennis program
offers court time during the 1976
summer to those who pay a
membership fee. Memberships
will be sold at the tennis courts
beginning June 7. An individual
membership is $25 and a family
membership is $35. There is a $1
guest fee for non-members. To
register, call 373-2571 and ask for
"Summer Tennis Program."

All students should notice and
take advantage of the Complaint
Box in the Dining Hall. The box is
designed to help the Committee
on Academic Problems help you.

the total not to exceed eight
years. Moreover to ensure that
this office fulfills not only ad-
ministrative duties, but also the
leadership functions outlined
above, I suggest an annual
review of the incumbent by an
appropriate faculty-student
committee.

2. To develop a wider degree
of participation and incorporate
a greater range of ideas in the
making of policy, I suggest that
(in departments of three or
more) no person serve
consecutively as Chairperson
longer than 5 years. It may also
be feasible to make this position
elective within departments
rather than subject to ad-
ministrative appointment.

3. To encourage a greater
degree of openness, I
recommend a "Sunshine law" so
that appropriate faculty com-
mittee meetings be opened to
students and faculty alike.

4. To develop a greater degree
of diversity among the faculty,
and to reward distinctive ac-
complishments in teaching,
scholarship, and community
service, I recommend the use of
early promotion, salary raises,
and sabbatical leaves. Far from
being divisive, a shift in the
reward system from seniority
and compliance to achievement
and merit would encourage a
greater degree of intellectual ex-
citement and growth.

5. Finally, I suggest that we
develop a greater sense of
perspective and even humor as
an antidote to institutional stuf-
finess and pomposity. Saving
Western civilization and the
integrity of the liberal arts is
serious business, but it might be
fun as well. More importantly
laughter might be conducive to a
greater degree of personal car-
ing and sharing.

In contrast to many other
colleges, the problems of Agnes
Scott are remediable, and its
potential is limited only by a
failure of imagination and will. If
this letter contributes in any way
to preventing that failure it will
have achieved its purpose.

Sincerely,
David W. Orr

what's happening The plays are the thing

art

Atlanta's first non-profit, downtown art gallery will open at
Peachtree Summit this spring through a joint venture between a non-
profit arts organization and private big business. The Gallery, to be
called the Handshake Gallery at Peachtree Summit, will be a joint
venture between Handshake, Inc., a non-profit arts organization,
and Diamond & Kaye, developers and owners of commercial
properties throughout the city, including the new Peachtree Summit
office community at West Peachtree and Alexander Streets. The first
exhibit, "Zuckerman, A Retrospective," will feature over 70 major
works by the internationally acclaimed Atlanta sculptress Ruth
Zuckerman. The Zuckerman Exhibit will open May 14 for a one
month showing. For more information, call 892-7120.

theater

The Harlequin Dinner Theatre will present a performance of the
musical "Cabaret" on Friday, May 14, to benefit the Fox Theatre.
Dinner, show, tax and gratuity will be all-inclusive in the $20.00 tax-
deductible ticket price for that evening. Doors for the benefit
performance open at 6 p.m., with dinner from 7 to 8 p.m., and the
performance at 8:30 p.m. For reservations, call 262-1552.

Shakespeare's "The Tempest" will be produced by the Alliance
Theatre Company Friday and Saturday, May 14 and 15, at 8:30 p.m.,
with a matinee on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets for the performances
at the Memorial Arts Center are $6 and $4.50. Special student weekly
rates are available; for reservations, call 892-2797.

By Liz Hornsby
With its offering of The Tempest,
Shakespeare's deft blend of airy
fancy and mellow philosophy,
the Alliance Theatre garners not
only a gold star for the effort of
tackling a work by the Bard, but
several achievement stars as well.
It is an impressive finish to an im-
pressive season.

The fine cast handles
Elizabethan English without
awkwardness no mean feat.
Especially good are Anthony
Sabon, Terry Beaver, and
Marianne Hammock; and Mit-
chell Edmonds and Jim Word
almost steal the show as
inebriates Stephano and Trin-
culo. The richly-voiced Robert
Burr does very well as Prospero,
but he would do even better if he
showed a little more of his
character's gentle, profound
amusement at life. Buck
Newman's Ariel could also profit
from a somewhat less weighty
portrayal.

Thanks to production designer
Michael Stauffer, The Tempest is
imaginatively and intriguingly
mounted. The sets are especially
effective, and Cassandra Hen-
nings' lighting and projections
never become mere gimmickry.

music

Young American pianist Emanuel Ax will join associate conductor
Michael Palmer, principal cellist Robert Marsh, and the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra in concerts Friday and Saturday, May 14 and 15
at 8:30 p.m., in Symphony Hall. Ax will be featured in Franz Liszt's
Piano Concerto No. 2, while Palmer will conduct an obscure work by
Beethoven the King Stephan Overture and Richard Strauss'
tone poem Don Quixote. For ticket information and reservations, call
892-2414.

miscellaneous

A program of short films from Canada salutes the National Film
Board of Canada on May 20-23 at 8 p.m. at the High Museum. Co-
sponsoring the event with the Museum are the Canadian Consulate
General of Atlanta and the City of Atlanta's Bureau of Cultural and
International Affairs. Acknowledged internationally for their quality,
NFB films have received hundreds of international awards. Seven
Norman McLaren films will be shown, including Neighbors, an
Academy Award-winning parable that shows the futility of violence
for settling quarrels, and A Chairy Tale, set to the music of Ravi Shan-
kar, and winner of two international awards. Other than the McLaren
films, the NFB films selected attest to the diversity of Canadian
culture. Also appearing on the program are The Ballad of Crowfoot,
and The Railrodder, the story of a cross-country trip by Buster
Keaton. Citizen Harold dramatizes the endless struggle between the
lone individual and the status quo, while What on Earth theorizes that
the automobile has inherited the earth. The common thread joining
this menagerie of films is that they are all made by Canadians, about
Canada, and with the assistance of the government - sponsored
National Film Board. Admission is free.

The Tempest will be
performed May 14 and 15 at the
Memorial Arts Center. For
further information and
reservations, call 892-2414.

Like Jhe Tempest, Tennessee
Williams' The Milktrain Doesn't
Stop Here Anymore is long on
showmanship; but unlike it,
Milktrain tends to be rather short
on substance. However,
Blackfriars' production of
Milktrain is still worth seeing.
Although last Friday's
performance had more than the
usual number of opening-night
gaffes, the acting in the principle
roles (by Carole Langston, Den-
nis Puccini, and Stephanie As-
talos) is strong and well-
balanced. In the supporting cast,
Henry Lide shines in a small part

as an oriental stage-manager,
and Katherine Gowan proves a
real scene-stealer as the Witch of
Capri. The strength of the acting
and the soundness of the direc-
tion (Jack Brooking) are
especially welcome since
Milktrain is not a play that can
carry itself. The attractive and ap-
propriately stylized staging (Bill
Evans) also deserves commen-
dation. Limited by its script, the
Milktrain production is
ultimately not a very thought-
provoking experience, but it is
still an entertaining evening of
theatre, and a ticket to it is a well-
spent two dollars.

The final performanie of
Milktrain is tonight, May 14, at
8:15 in Dana. Call the box office
for ticket information.

Guitarist to perform here

Classical guitarist Jose Franco
salutes the U. S. Bicentennial
with his multi-media "Concert of
the Discovery" May 17 here at
Agnes Scott. The free, public
program is at 8:15 p.m. in Presser 1
Hall.

The "Concert of the Dis-
covery" pays hommage to the
Golden Age of the Spanish ex-
plorer and the Bicentennial of
the New World, the United
States of America, which today
contains 20 states once ruled by
Spain and 100 cities bearing
Spanish names and Iberian
heritage. The concert is a presen-
tation of slides, narration and
classical guitar music that traces
the discovery and exploration of
the New World by Spanish ex-
plorers, settlers and missionaries.
The exploits of such greats as
Columbus, Cortez, De Soto and
De Coronado are dramatized
through slides, narration and the
guitar music of 16th and 17th
century Spanish composers. The
guitar music by Spanish com-
posers during those centuries of
New. World exploration was to
serve as models for later
European composers.

Franco, who has been
performing and teaching in the
United States at the request of
the U. S. Department of State to
promote the classical guitar, is
presenting his "Concert of the
Discovery" from New York to
California and from Florida to

Alaska. The program required
five years of research into long
forgotten manuscripts, logs and
archives of the period.

Born in the Andalusian city of
Jerez de la Frontera (Cadiz),
Spain, Franco began his formal
education in the guitar at the age
of 12 at the Conservatory of
Music of Jerez and continued his
studies at the Royal
Conservatory of Music in Madrid
from which he graduated. He has
studied with the foremost

Spanish classical guitarist Andres
Segovia.

Performing in the best known
concert halls of Spain, Franco has
made several national tours
under government sponsorship
and has performed with the
Spanish Television Network. He
recently completed a two month
recital engagement with a New
York City radio station and was
appointed Professor of Guitar at
the City University of New York,
Queens College.

CAP survey

More Internships Are Desired

The Committee on Academic
Problems (75-76) recently dis-
tributed to the student body a
questionnaire on interest in a
possible expansion of internship
and experiential-learning
programs at Agnes Scott. Here
are the results of the ques-
tionnaire:

A total of 157 questionnaires
were returned; this represents
about 28% of the student body.
80% of the students responding
said they would themselves be
interested in participating in
some kind of internship-type
program; 16% said they might be
interested; and 4% were not
interested.

The remainder of the ques-
tions were answered only by the
students with definite or possible
interest. This group was com-
posed of 30% freshmen, 25%
sophomores, 25% juniors, and
20% seniors.

31% indicated that it was very
important to their possible
participation in an internship-
type program that they receive
academic credit; for 63%, credit
would be preferable but not
necessary. 6% had no opinion.

Of the 152 students answering
the query, "What goals would
you hope to realize" through an
internship-type program, 141 in-
dicated career preparation; 148,
practical experience; 120,
general enrichment; and 115,
variety of educational ex-
perience. When asked what
types of programs interested
them, the 152 students res-
ponded with 94 for full-time,
summer programs; 82 for field
work as part of an ASC course;
105 for a part-time program con-
current with light ASC course-
work; 91 for a full-time quarter
program in place of ASC course-
work, with over two-thirds
preferring a program in the
Atlanta area; and 20 for
volunteer work in addition to a
regular course load. When asked
about interest areas, 28 students
listed the fine arts (art, art history,
music, theatre); 27 mathematics
or sciences; 81 the social
sciences (psychology, sociology,
economics, political science); 20
modern foreign language; 7
English; 24 History; and 2 Bible
and Religion. (Please note that
for the last three questions,
multiple responses were pos-

sible, e.g., a student might be
interested in two types of
programs.)

In view of these findings,
C.A.P. strongly recommends that
ASC students be given more op-
portunity to participate in
internships and experiential
learning, through expansion of
existing programs where pos-
sible, and by the development of
other programs.

C.A.P. believes that such ques-
tions as whether or not to award
credit for special programs, and
the proper amount of credit to
be given for deserving programs,
demand careful study and con-
sideration. However, since two-
thirds of the interested students
are anxious to participate in such
programs even if they do not
receive credit, it is to be hoped
that the academic-credit ques-
tions will not delay further
development of internship and
experiential-learning op-
portunities for Agnes Scott
students. A no-credit, trial
period for new programs is one
possibility that immediately
suggests itself.

They're Called "Men"

Well ladies, prepare
yourselves for men within the
sacred halls - at least on Sunday
afternoons. Now that Agnes
Scott is opening her slightly
creaky arms to members of the
opposite sex, we are all in for a
bit of an adjustment. No longer
will Sundays find us blythely
wandering about the halls in hair
curlers and little else - at least
one hopes not.

It will be very interesting to see
just how much advantage is
taken of the open dorm policy.
Concerning the state of con-
fusion in which most of our
rooms can be found, the date
parlors may not seem so unat-
tractive after a few comments
like: "Where's your bed?" or
"Does somebody live here?".
On the other hand, this could
just make neat housekeepers out
of us all but I doubt it.

Although this is an en-
couraging step forward for
student freedom at ASC, I cannot
help but feel we will be losing
something at the same time.
Perhaps it is purely nostalgia, a

desire not to lose the feeling of
the days when Scotties answered
any knock on the door with a
casual "Grease your tail and slide
under," (admittedly not a phrase
heard on campus much recen-
tly), but it may be more. If the
Sixties taught us anything, it
should be that individuality and
liberality do not always come in
the same package. This change is
moving towards the latter at the
expense of the former.

There will be no way to en-
tirely determine the value and
wisdom of this change until we
have lived with it for awhile. It is
quite possible that we may find
that it does not live up to our ex-
pectations, and wish to return to
closed dorms after the trial
period. Hopefully, there will be
no major problems in coping
with open dorms for a few hours
each week. Certainly many
people are looking forward to
this as an opportunity to create a
more relaxed, at-home air in
these buildings which serve as
our homes while we are at
school.

We must not forget that the
trust which the administration
and trustees are showing in us by
opening the dorms also carries
responsibility with it. This is not
the time to forget that we are liv-
ing under an honor system
one that we voluntarily com-
mitted ourselves to and that it
will have many applications
concerning open dorms. We are
responsible for learning the
correct procedures and sticking
by them. Beyond the printed
regulations, we also have a res-
ponsibility to behave maturely. If
we approach open dorms
childishly, many awkward and
embarrassing situations may
arise, with hurt feelings being
only the most minor of possible
injuries. Since we are being
treated like mature, reasonable
people, let us not forget to act
the part.

Students:

At a time when a number of
very important issues which
directly affect each student on
campus are coming up before
Rep Council, I feel that it is im-
portant to remind students of
their opportunity to attend Rep
meetings. Any student can come
and express her opinion, but
only a few do. You can be sure
that Rep meetings are a place
where everyone listens and
where your opinion really
counts. Check the Rep bulletin
board in the mailroom each
Tuesday for the agenda, or ask
your dorm or class represen-
tative what issues are coming up.
Don't feel that you have no voice
in your student government.
Your coming to a meeting and
speaking out could make quite
an impact on the voting! I urge
you to attend the last Rep
meetings this year and to make a
"resolution" to do so in the fall.

Susan Kidd

To the Editor:

Reading Dave Orr's recent
letter with which I am in substan-
tial agreement has motivated me
to write also. I too have resigned
from Agnes Scott College effec-
tive this June, and although the
decision was intellectually
unambiguously clear,
emotionally it has been more dif-
ficult.

I remember well one evening
several years ago when I was try-
ing to convince Dick Hensel
than an assistant professor of
music at ASC not to leave and
not to accept a job elsewhere,
but to stay and fight for good
causes and constructive changes.

Julia's Child

It was a difficult decision for him
to make and he finally did leave.
He had met the same kind of
resistance to change that many
of us have faced, but one of his
key arguments for leaving was "I
am too young to die." He
thought working at Agnes Scott
could be a kind of death
particularly for a young person.
Regretfully, I realize there may
be a grain of truth to his
assertion.

On the other hand, in my own
case, when one has worked 13
years at and made some kind of a
commitment to an institution, its
hard to leave. There are many
pleasant associations and
memories and there is the
thought that maybe some things
could be achieved that haven't
been. There is also a feeling of
sadness and loss.

During my years here, I have
always been very interested in
what is the purpose of the
college. One of the most
meaningful and concise
statements on that subject was
written by Dr. Alston and printed
in the Fall 1965 issue of Aurora
Magazine (Vol. 75 # 1). For
several years a copy of this
statement, called "THE IDEAL"
was prominently displayed on
the physics department bulletin
board.

I would highly recommend
that anyone who is concerned
about the future of Agnes Scott
College read and think about
"THE IDEAL," a reprint of which
immediately follows this letter.
In addition, it might be construc-
tive and helpful to consider two

related questions: 1) In what
ways could the college be
motivated to become a more
caring, psychologically rein-
forcing community of concern
Christian or otherwise than
is presently the case? 2) Although
intellectual interests should
always be dominant in a college,
would not the Agnes Scott ex-
perience be enriched if there
were more effective programs
and experiences conducive to
facilitating vocational awareness
and to promoting increasing
psychological and emotional
growth?

Sincrerely,
Philip B. Reinhart
Physics Department

Agnes Scott believes profoun-
dly in the validity of offering an
academically demanding
program in a community of
Christian concern. We have
failed if we have merely
provided information without
insight, facts with little increase
in wisdom, or stimulation of the
intellect without compelling
motivation of will and molding
of character. This confrontation
of a student with Christian truth
in an atmosphere where
academic excellence is
cherished and where intellectual
interests are dominant is so
integral to Agnes Scott's
purposes that those who know
the college can scarcely
conceive of a valid reason for its
existence if this should ever
cease to be important.

The Saga Of The Sleepless

by Julia Midkiff

The normal, unorganized
college student can look forward
to pulling several all-nighters
each quarter. This practice of
staying awake all night and
sleeping during the day explains
why that famous noctural bird,
the owl, has become the symbol
for wisdom. Sleep is so important
to the Agnes Scott student that
several girls are planning to write
their dissertations on some
aspects of the subject.

Heavy dosages of caff iene, fre-
quent cold showers and a high
adrenalin level keep students
going throughout the quarter,
but nothing can prevent their
total collapse during breaks.
One girl, who ended a quarter by
writing two papers and taking
four exams all in three days, went
home, crawled into bed and
woke up in the hospital a week
later. The doctor's diagnosis? A
coma induced by complete
physical, mental and emotional
exhaustion. My diagnosis? An
overdose of Agnes Scott College.

Not long ago I tried to write a

check for some purchases made
at a large downtown department
store. The clerk was reluctant to
accept my out-of-state check
and called in the manager for ap-
proval. The manager took one
look at me, turned to the cler and
said, "Take it. She's from Agnes
Scott; it's good." I was as-
tonished and wondered if I had
ASC branded on my forehead.
When I asked how he had
known, he said, "By the bags
under your eyes." And all this
time I have been telling myself
that everyone has black two-inch
circles around their eyes;
everyone here does anyway.

Many people insist that sleep is
not a luxury, but a necessity.
There are even a few who
believe that it is better to go to
bed and wake up early than to
stay awake all night. Ben Franklin
is the father of this ridiculous
theory. He has been quoted as
having said, "Early to bed and
early to rise, makes a man
healthy, wealthy, and wise" and
"The early bird gets the worm."

But does this mean that early to
bed and early to rise makes a
Scottie an honor graduate? I
believe such a practice would
make her an ex-Scottie. And
does the early riser get the A?
No, all she gets is the privilege of
waiting half an hour for the water
to warm up.

Students who are not a part of
the Franklin movement have
been known to fall asleep during
P.E. classes, while walking across
campus and even when caught
in the mail room traffic jam. A
classic example of an Agnes Scott
student's ability to fall asleep
anywhere any time is the case of
one freshman who fell asleep
standing up while taking a
shower. A desperate need for
sleep leads many students to
sleep during every spare
moment. That well-known sleep
advocate, Ben Franklin, seems to
have believed that this practice is
a waste of time and opportunity.
He once write, "The sleeping fox
catches no poultry," but then I
ask you, who wants a dead
chicken?

Southern Ballet Of Atlanta

NYCB dancers perform

Southern Ballet of Atlanta, one
of the oldest regional companies
in the United States, will
celebrate its 30th Anniversary
Year in two Gala Spring Concerts
on Sunday and Monday, May 23
and 24 at Symphony Hall. The
Sunday matinee will begin at
3:00 p.m. and the Monday even-
ing concert at 8:00 p.m.
Highlighting both performances
will be the dancing of guest
artists Suzanne Farrell and Peter
Martins, stars of the New York
City Ballet. They will perform
two pas de deux choreographed
by George Balanchine.

Pittman Corry and Karen
Conrad founded the Southern
Ballet, then known as the Atlanta
Dance Theatre, in 1946, in order
to encourage and foster local
artists' work in dance, design and
music. Since that time more than
a hundred ballets of wide variety
and style have been produced.

Suzanne Farrell, an American
ballerina, and Peter Martins, a
native of Denmark, have recen-
tly been heralded by the press
and public as a "new ballet
partnership of the greatest dis-
tinction." The New York Times
says, "Miss Farrell and Mr.
Martins are now dancing
together as if they were almost
one body." A recent Newsweek
said, "Suzanne Farrell comes
closer than anyone else to em-
bodying the disembodied and
Peter Martins not only looks, but
dances like Apollo." The two
guest artists will appear in two
highly contrasted pas de deux;
the first will be "Agon Pas de
Deux", a very modern angular
composition to the music of Igor

Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins.

Stravinsky and the second the
lyrically flowing "Tschaikowsky
Pas de Deux". George Balan-
chine, Director of the New York
City Ballet, has consented to the
use of his choreography at both
concerts.

Carl Corry, a scholarship ap-
prentice of the Robert Joffrey
Ballet Company in New York,
and an alumni of Southern
Ballet, will dance with Peggy

Weber and the Senior Ensemble
in "Brahms Waltzes" (Johannes
Brahms), a classical
divertissement. Mr. Corry will
also dance in "Strange Splen-
dor" to music of Bela Bartok and
based on a poem by the late
Atlanta poet, Ernest Hartsock.
Both ballets have choreography
by Pittman Corry. Two favorite

Bad News Bears Symphony
is good news plans for

The trailers showed a bunch of
little kids playing baseball (badly)
and cursing like sailors. Cute, eh?
The ads read, "The coach is wait-
ing for his next beer; the pitcher
is waiting for her first bra; con-
sider the possibilities." Cute, eh?
Well, The Bad News Bears just
goes to show that you can't
always judge a movie by its
promotional campaign. It's quite
a good little comedy
genuinely funny, rarely hokey
and manages to get in a good
deal of social criticism as well.

TBNB is the story of a hapless
little-league team, the Bears of
the title, whose players include
an asthmatic, a clutz,
a pathological over-eater, and
two Mexicans who understand
no English. The Bears are
coached by Morris Buttermaker,
a boozing ex-minor-league
player hired by the boys' too-

busy parents. The Bears need
help badly, so after lining up a
bail bondsman as a sponsor,
Buttermaker recruits a whiz pit-
cher (the daughter of an old
flame) who in turn recruits a
whiz batter and outfielder (a
pint-sized neighborhood hood.)
Through a combination of the
new recruits, the Bears'
determination, and
Buttermaker's coaching, the
team works it way up from the
bottom of the league into the
pennant game. The comedy
comes in via the rockiness of the
Bears' road to success and the
wild assortment of personalities
involved. TBNB also gets in a
number of well-deserved digs at
over-organized, winning- and
parent- oriented little league
baseball, and manages to do it

The Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra, Robert Shaw, music
director, has announced a uni-
que new program for its summer

glimpses into different aspects of
the musical world. The concerts
will feature famous artists giving
brief lecture-discussions of their
art, illustrated mostly by musical
performance, featuring the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

Moments Remembered

This week, a look at some old
ads. First, fashion: "College
Girl Frocks for Early Fall!
Gracefully Youthful, Chic,
Charming, and Dainty!
Designed to emphasize the in-
dividuality of the chic, college
miss. From Frohsin's Correct
Dress for Women." (Agonistic,
Sept. 29, 1976.) "Come to
Regenstein's! Frocks, hats, and
coats that will dazzle the family
and bewitch the town's eligible
beaux!" (Agonistic, Dec. 2,
1931.)

Next, entertainment:
"Keith's Georgia Theatre.
RKO/Vaudeville. Atlanta's
Dominant Entertainment. On
Stage: 4 Acts, Big-time
Vaudeville. Featuring Stuart &
Lash and their Girl Revue. On
Screen: Tallulah Bankhead in

"The Cheat." Bargain prices:
35$ before 6 p.m." (Agonistic,
Dec. 2, 1931.)

Finally, Coca-Cola: "Drink
Coca-Cola, Delicious and
Refreshing! Wholesome
refreshment, pure as sunlight!
The drink that's a blend of pure
products from nature and
nature's finest flavors, gathered
from nine different climes. Just
the thing for ami nute's pause to
relax and refresh yourself. Such
a little minute is long enough
for a big rest." (Agnositc,
March 13, 1929.) "These are the
days for Sociable Refreshment!
Try the drink with that taste-
good feeling and delightful
after-sense of refreshment.
Bottled in our spotless plant
with every bottle sterilized."
(Agonistic, March 13, 1929.)

ballets from the past repertoire
are being revived. Co-Director
Karen Conrad is reviving her
romantic pas de trois entitled
"Les Graces" to the "Mignon"
music of Ambroise Thomas. The
three "graces" will be danced by
Nancy Murphy, Debbie Denton
and )an Borum. Pittman Corry is
reviving his "Chorale for
Puritans". Set to the American
composer Roy Harris' Third
Symphony, the theme, in dance
form, is similar to Hawthorne's,
"The Scarlet Letter" and Arthur
Miller's "The Crucible". Both
these repertoire pieces have
been selected to be performed
in past Southeastern Regional
Ballet Festival "Galas".

without being preachy or
becoming heavy-handed.

The big flaw in TBNB is the ex-
ploitation of the kids' foul
language for cheap laughs; it's
fairly amusing the first couple of
times a cherubic-looking little
Bear turns the air blue, but it
quickly grows tiresome. So tune
it out and enjoy the better
aspects of Bill Lancaster's script:
comedy; some fine dramatic
moments; a plotline plausible
rather than Hollywoodized (for
example, self-proclaimed bum

Therese and Joe Vogt opened
their riding stable in 1956 and in
the same year they began taking
Agnes Scott students. The Vogts'
story began much earlier and
much further afield: they were
both born and raised in
Germany. It was there as a child
that Mrs. Vogt taught herself to
ride on her brother's retired race
horses.

When she got out of school,
Mrs. Vogt worked in an office for
awhile. She finally got a job with
the German Army, breaking
horses and getting them ready
for combat. As the war
progressed, and the Russians got
closer, she and a friend decided
to leave the army. They found
the American Army which gave
them food and a pass to get into
the next village. They finally
reached her friend's home, but
Mrs. Vogt's was still a long way
from her home. So, she bought a
horse and rode it across

At the Rep meeting of Tues-
day, May 18, the recommen-
dation for the funding of G-Pirg
was discussed, voted on and
passed by a majority vote. The
recommendation follows -

1) Those students who do not
wish to have $2.00 per quarter (or
$6.00 per year) of their activity
fee allocated in the direction of
G-Pirg may scratch their names
from a list provided. Student
Government Association will
then pay $2.00 per student per
quarter up to 66% of the student
body to G-Pirg to go towards
state dues.

2) G-Pirg will be reviewed dur-
ing spring quarter of 1977. (G-
Pirg as an organization on cam-
pus can be reviewed at this time,
not only the above procedures
for funding.)

Peggy Lamberson, editor of
the Profile, asked Rep for an ad-
ditional $128.00 above the es-
tablished Profile budget in order
to pay for the May 21, 1976 issue
of the Profile. The budget re-
quest was granted by unanimous
vote.

mittee granted the request of the

Buttermaker is not miraculously
transformed into a saint through
his coaching, although he, like
his small charges, does some
growing by fits and starts
during the course of the season);
and the essentially realistic
characters (the Bears and their
coach are a very human mixture
of the petty, the noble, and all
that falls in between.)

Walter Matthau is wonderful
as Buttermaker; co-star Tatum
O'Neal (pitcher Amanda) starts
our somewhat stiltedly, but gets
better as the film progresses. Vic
Morrow does a fine job in a sup-

Germany to her family. She then
went to work for the American
Army with their horses.

After the war was over the
American Army helped her es-
tablish a riding academy at Bad
Nauheim. She met her husband,
who was then employed by the
University of Frankfurt's Physical
Education Department, at a
horse show competition. They
were married soon afterwards
and applied for visas to come to
the United States. It took them
three years to obtain the visas; it
was in 1952 that they finally came
to the States. The next few years
were spent learning the
American side of business by
teaching in a succession of riding
camps and academies. They
were working at a riding camp in
North Carolina, when they
brought some horses to Chastain
Park and fell in love with Atlanta.
They decided to settle here
permanently.

tors (including Alfred Lutter of
Alice Doesn't Live Here
Anymore) give blessedly un-
selfconscious performances.
Another plus for the film is Jerry
Fielding's wry use of music from
Bizet's Carmen for the score, and
Michael Rithcies' direction is
simply and unassumingly
competent, exactly what's

All things considered, The Bad

The Vogts now have ten acres
in DeKalb County where they
live and teach. Agnes Scott
students have been taking les-
sons at the Vogt Academy since
it's opening twenty years ago;
combined training: jumping,
dressage and cross country is
taught. In the past, a trophy has
been awarded to the most
outstanding rider from Agnes
Scott. The first student to receive
it was Dee Reagan. Last year due
to the decreasing enrollment of
Agnes Scott students, who are
now only allowed to take riding
for two quarters, the trophy was
not awarded; the 1973-75
recipient was Alice Gromer. This
year there are many more Agnes
Scott students taking riding and
transportation is again being
provided. It will be awarded
again this year at a show for ASC
students to be held May 27 at
2:00 p.m. at the Vogt Academy.
