The Profil Vol. LXII - No. 1 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030- September 26, 1975 New faculty and staff join ASC community This year Agnes Scott has great variety among new faculty and staff members, including a new physical plant director, an ad- ministrative intern, a new Music Dept. chairman, and a few familiar, returning faces. Both Mary Kelly, Assistant in the Biology Dept., and Mildred Petty, Assistant Dean of the Faculty return here after a year of working on graduate degrees. Catherine Sims returns as Visit- ing Professor of History fall and spring quarters. Formerly a professor of hisotry here, Ms. Sims left to become a dean at Sweetbriar, a post she held until the summer of 1974, when she and her husband came back to Atlanta. Ronald L. Brynside, new Asosociate Professor and chairman of the Music Dept. comes to Scott from the University of Illinois. Mr. Byrnside has not only taught, but has had experience in music on Broadway. Janet Stewart is also new to the Music Dept., in which she will serve as part-time lec- turer in voice. Ms. Stewart has also had experience in New York, where she will give two concerts this fall. Harriet Higgins will be work- ing with Mr. Henderson as an ad- ministrative intern, part of the Administrative Internship Program in Higher Education. Ms. Higgins is a graduate of Wells College and is currently working not only on her Ph.D. in French from Middlebury College in Vermont, but is also working on her MBA at Ga. State. The new physical plant direc- tor, John J. Hug, is currently concentrating on repairs to leaky roofs and faulty heating, elec- trical, and utility systems which must be taken care of beofre "more routine preventive maintenance" can become the department's foremost concern. Mr. Hug comes to Agnes Scott from S. Bernard's College in Cullman, Ala., and more recen tly, from his alma-mater, the University of Wisconsin at Parkside. The Art Dept.'s new instructor is Carol Golden Miller, who before coming here taught at the Westminster School in Atlanta. Alan White is the Chemistry Dept.'s new Assistant Professor, coming to Agnes Scott from Tex- as A & M. Lynn Ganim is new in the English Dept., having come most recently from teaching at Clemson. Benedicte Boucher is the new French assistant this year. She lives on the French Hall, located on the first floor of Inman, and is currently working on her degree at the University of Paris. Also new this year are Gwen M. Bate, Visiting Assistant Profes- sor of Psychology, and Aleida Martinez, Lecturer in Spanish. Ms. Bate comes from G. State, where she graduated and has taught. Ms. Martinez comes from Emory, where she is a can- didate for her Ph.D. Martha W. Yates entered the Alumnae Office as editor of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly and Assistant to the Director of Alumnae Affairs. There are two new senior residents on campus this year. Jane Cane, who hails originally from Connecticutt, is Inman's new senior resident. Main's new senior resident is Ms. Mildred Stibgen. Ms. Stibgen, originally from Illinois, was most recently a senior resident at Bernau, in Gainesville. Ms. Gail Weber, wife of William Weber of the Economics Dept., is the new of- 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 were announced in the last con- 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: from the class of 1976, Cherry Joy 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 Barlow, Mary Crist Brown, 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 Shurley, Susan Smith (Charles- town, S. C), and Lynn Wilson. From the class of 1978, with selection based on academic promise and leadership poten- tial; Judith Bartholomew, Marguerite Booth, Mary Gracey 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. Page 2 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.

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 l to R: Fric Idle, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Terry 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. Page 4 Profile/September 26, 1975 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. CA will sponsor a square dance in Rebekah parking lot on October 3. Arts Council's mini-bus trip to the High Museum will leave Rebekah parking lot at 2 p.m., Sun., Sept. 28. A sign-up sheet will be available in the dining hall. There are only ten places, so first come, first served. Popular nominations and petitions for offices in G-PIRG will take place in the Hub until 3 p.m. today. The bookstore is now keeping up with lost and found items as a service to students. Any items turned in to the bookstore will be kept for three weeks. If by the end of that time they still remain unclaimed, they will be donated to the Faculty Wives' Fair. There will be no fee required to reclaim a lost item. 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. Eva Gantt has resigned her position as editor of The Profile and has been replaced by Julia Midkiff. Benjamin Cross, a student of Carr's. 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.

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. Page 2 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?

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.

Peachtree at 8:30 p.m. 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." (Record* in Review, 1973 Edition, p. 291) I lie works lu he perfoi med at Tuesday's concert are Beethoven's Quartet in F minor, Opus 95; Quartet in D major, Opus 18, number 3; and the Quartet in B-llai major, Opus 133, "Grosse Fuge."

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 thr polls on mandatory con- vocations, and if was reported thnt Glee Club has returned to SGA its money left over from last 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 was made* that fhe on the grounds thai !t had been rushedj but this motion was defeated. Now the RC must go the the Administration Com- mittee, and. if it passes there, will be sent to the Board of Trustees. (Editor's note: Beer will be served at the Black Cat picnic.

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- prepare letters for mass mailings, 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 on U.S. 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.

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."

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.

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."

The Profil October 31,1975 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 Place, in 1971. Her next book, 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. Page 2 Editorial Profile/October 31, 1975 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. Alliance Theatre announces season The Alliance Theatre recently announced its 1976 play season, a variety of classic and contem- porary works spotlighting American drama and including a Shakespearean comedy.

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.

Bullock to address college "Through a Glass Darkly: China Today" will be the topic of Mary Brown Bullocck's address at 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 3, in Maclean Auditorium. The daughter of missionaries, Mrs. Bullock spent much of her childhood in Korea. Following her graduation from Agnes Scott in 1966, she continued her formal education at Stanford University where she specialized in Chinese Studies. She presently works with the National Academy of Sciences, ac- companying groups of scientists to China. She also acts as a guide for groups of Chinese scientists visiting the United States. 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 Campbell 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- tinued- Admitting that she was somewhat of a controversial teacher on campus, she rationalizes it as a reaction to her cynicism towards society in general. Her cynical attitude does not prevent her from ap- with a man named Jack who 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- tival. reveals living 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. The Profil Vol. LXII-NccS^ 7 -AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030- November 7, 1975 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 cont'd, oh p. 4. col. 1 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 he accepted his position here in 1967 on the advice of his colleagues, who urged him to try college teaching. Evidently, the 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 for his sinuses. Educator An experienced educator, Mr. Mathews has worked with children of all ages. He has been challenged by problems such as channeling the energy of Jr. High students and motivating high school students in a ghetto school to try what they have con'f. on p. 4, col. 1 Page 2 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. Profile/November 7, 1975 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. Sarah R. Latture (Editor's note: The Profile staff writes the "Roses and Thorns" column each week as an editorial statement, anyone in the Agnes Scott community may suggest a contribution, with the final decision being made by the 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.

Mrs. Sara Jane Moore, who attempted to assasinate President Ford last month in San Francisco, was formally arraigned in that city last week. Mrs. Moore's lawyer entered a plea of not guilty on the grounds that her mental competency should be determined before any proceedings take place. December 15 has been set as the trial date.

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.

Page 4 Profile/November 7, 1975 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 Rep cont'd, from p. 7, col. 2 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. Interview cont'd, from p. 1, col. 5 failed before. Mr. Mathews feels that music is not difficult for people who have to be musicians; it is an inherent part of their being. For instance, he feels that most composers do not choose to compose; they simply do it because they have to ex- 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.

The Profil Vol. LXII-No.^ 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. Profile/November 14, 1975 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 News clips Miss Lynette Fromme, who attempted to assassinate President Ford when he visited the California state Capitol 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. ambassador to Nato, to be the new Defense secretary, and Lt. General Brent Skowcroft who will handle the daily duties of briefing Mr. Ford as White House national security adviser. In what is being called the White House's "Sunday night mas- sacre," Ford has dismissed William Colby and James Schlesinger as heads of the first two posts, and has reduced Dr. Kissinger's power in foreign af- fairs. An oil study group predicts that America will require a record supply of foreign oil next year. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller has stepped aside from being considered the Vice- Presidential nominee in next year's election.

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 are glad to help answer ques- tions and can define how documentation is best handled in a particular field. It is better to find out the proper method than to make a mistake through not wanting to "bother" a professor. >cial Council ponsors the inter Dance Saturday, January 31 p.m. - 1 a.m. ox Theatre Egyptian Ballroom Emission - $4 '.B.

A resident of Chicago, Brooks has served as Distinguished Lec- turer at Northeastern Illinois University and has taught courses at Columbia College, Chicago and at City College of New York. She has lectured and conducted poetry seminars and workshops at colleges and universities throughout the United States. 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. Gwendolyn Brooks 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. Page 2 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. Sandra M.

Registration deadline is March 7. by Liz Horns by 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 appropriate. 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. 1 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.

I | NAME CP ADDRESS The Profil Vol. LXII No. 12 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. (cont'd, on p. 4, col. 1) 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. Pag* 2 Editorial Profile/February 13, 1976 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.

Susan Srrvth 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.

News clips On February 6 a shock of 5.75 on the Richter scale brought more death and destruction to Guatemala. The most severe tremor occurred on February 4 and measured 7.5 on the scale. The death toll is now estimated at 15,035 with 200,000 homeless and over 40,000 injured. The country is very low on medical supplies and there are still fears that epidemics and starvation might overwhelm the country.

The first two films of the series will be shown in Hill Auditroium at 8 p.m., on Thurs., Feb. 19 and Fri., Feb. 20. Musicals featured will be Meet Me in St. Louis starring Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien, and Singin in the Rain with Gene Kelly, Donald O'Conner, and Debbie Reynolds. A full color travel film entitled "Hawaiian Adventure" will be shown at Symphony Hall in the Memorial Arts Center on Sun., Feb. 15, at 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, $12, $3.50, and $3, and may be obtained by calling the Arts Center Box Office at 892-2414. 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 also notable as one of the most 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. Blackfriars presents variety Blackfriars will present Bettye Knapp's adaptation of A. A.

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 announcing. . .

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 "Giselle," the first full length ballet presented at Agnes Scott, will be performed Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. in Presser. The cast includes 26 dancers from the Ballet group, Blackfriars, and Atlanta. College faculty, ad- ministration, students, and alumnae will join in the presentation of the Founder's Day skit, over radio station WSD at 6:30 p.m., February 22, anniversary of the foun- ding of Agnes Scott. Dr. J. R. McCain, president, heads the cast as narrator of the skit. Flashing back to female seminary days with Miss Scott, the Founder's Day broadcast reveals the findings of interested present-day students as they browse through an old volume of Agnes Scott history and regulations. Dr. Margaret Burns, college physician, will lead a marriage class today at 5 p.m. in But- trick. All seniors and engaged students may attend. 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.

CA sponsors Mother Goose contest Christian Association will sponsor a Mother Goose contest next Monday through Thursday, February 16-19, to raise money for the fight against multiple sclerosis. Major campus boards have been invited to compete by sponsoring a member who will don the garb of her favorite nursery-rhyme character, and the student body will elect the contest winner. Photos of the contestants will be posted at polls in the mailroom and dining hall, and students may vote as often as they want by donating spare change. CA. has set a $500 goal for these contributions and the entrance fees. Rep Report Questions requested for College Bowl Team At the Rep Council meeting of February 10 Debbie Smith moved that each Rep member submit ten questions taken from the Encyclopedia Britannica III or the Associated Press to the Agnes Scott College Bowl team to be used in practice sessions. Sylvia Foster amended the motion to add that these ques- tions would be due at 6:30 p.m. on Tues., Feb. 17. The amendment was passed; then the entire motion was voted upon and passed. The College Bowl team needs sample questions and volunteers to assist with the managing of the team. Any additional ap- plications from persons seeking membership on the team will still be considered. Questions and applications should be sub- mitted to Jack Nelson, Box 940. Carol Corbett asked if it would be possible for beer to be served at the Hub party at which the Student Government As- sociation election returns will be announced. SGA funds cannot be used for the purchasing of alcoholic beverages, but Rep will investigate the possibility of hav- ing some other organization provide the funds. Cathy Harris announced that the Parking Committee is in the process of gathering the figures on the campus parking situation. The fqrniture that is being considered for the library will be in the library for a trial period at the end of this week.

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. A career in education? Now?

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 Dolphin Club presents winter show The Agnes Scott Dolphin Club will present its winter show on February 26 and 27 with two performances at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The performances on Thursday evening are open to the campus community while 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 choreographed by the members. Members of the Dolphin Club are: Cindy Alden, Cherry Joy Beysselance, Laura Boyd, Debbie Clark, Carol Corbett, Mary Ellis, Cathy Fitch, Angela Fleming, Sylvia Foster, Rosalyn Fretwell, Glen Hankinson, Mary Ihley, Sue Jinks, Jenny Johnson, Jennie Jones, Laurie Kramer, Gloria Lewis, Ginny Maguire, Sara Marshall, Betty Philips, Ellen Poole, Julie Poole, Addie Price, Kathy Oates, Robin Ransbotham, Trudy Stone, Janie Sutton and Sally Workman. 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. Page 2 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. julia Midkiff, Editor News clips Profile/February 21, 1976 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.

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. i i 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? Give till it helps. + The American } Red Cross. The Good Neighbor. Page 4 Issues discussed at G-PIRG retreat Course changes to be made Profile/February 21, 1976 Moments Remembered New dating privileges have been given to freshmen and sophomores announced Sister Davis, president of student government. Freshmen may now double date in cars Monday through Friday until 11:45 p.m., on Saturday nights until 12 mid- night; and for special dances un- til 12:30 a.m. They may exercise this privilege within a specified area which includes Tech, Emory, the movies in Atlanta, the Atlanta terminal, the Paradise Room and the Rainbow Roof. Sophomores may single date in cars until 11 p.m. and are not limited to area except as school rules now state. Support for Polish War orphan Ivo Paseka will be provided by the sophomore, junior, and senior classes this quarter. Ninety dollars will be sent from the three classes, and an ad- ditional ninety will be sent from all four classes next quarter. Ivo, recently assigned to the student body by Foster Parents, Inc., writes that fall was rather dull, but he was looking forward to skiing and tobogganing in winter. 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.

A student making changes in the major must see her major professor before conferring with Mrs. Hudson or Mrs. Petty. She will obtain her major card from the Registrar's office, have the changes entered on the card by the major professor, and will then take the major card to Mrs. Hudson or Mrs. Petty so that the changes can be entered on the course card. Course cards will be in the office of the Dean of the Faculty and cannot be taken from that office. Only the deans can make an entry on a course card. reading biographies, research- ing special details, and compiling information in a certain order. It is hoped, though by no means guaranteed, that the pro- ject will develop into a book. In such a case, every participant would receive proper acknowledgement. Royalties are not excluded but cannot be promised. Freshmen and sophomores may wish to consult their faculty advisers before reporting to Mrs. Hudson for a course change. Faculty advisers have been asked to be available for conferences; some may arrange for office hours in advance of February 23 and 24. The Schedule Committee will meet Wed., March 3. All students must report to the Schedule Committee on that day in order to have their names listed on class rolls for the spring quarter. Further instructions will be posted later.

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. Page 2 Profile/February 27, 1976 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.

Walters Atlanta Georgia 1973 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. Each having learned a bit of knowledge about the 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. -1973 New York City 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. -1973 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. -1974 Effort I don't know whom I'm writing to. . .Yet I'm Writing. I don't know who I'm talking to. . .Yet I'm Talking. I don't know if I'm helping you. . .But I'm Trying. -1972 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.

It tells the story of a clever woman scheming to change her single status to that of a married woman. This Italian opera was originally written to be performed as comic relief between the acts of a tragic opera. Directing Serva is Ann Turner, and Jonoise Morehead plays the lead role.

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. Page 4 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. announcing. . .

COMPENSATION ON A COMMISSION BASIS. CALL TOLL FREE 800-525-9333 Profile/February 27, 1976 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! Stewart Ellis Princeton Seminary Taken from The Profile, April 7, 1966.

News clips T he Georgia Senate by a 33 to 20 margin voted to permit the sale of liquor by the drink in the capitol city on Sundays between 12:30 p.m. and midnight. Sources said Gov. George Busbee would sign the measure, which long had been sought in behalf of Atlanta's booming growth as a convention city. Sales would be limited to stadiums and restaurants meet- ing certain criteria. President Ford's veto of a $6.1 billion measure calculated to help reduce unemployment was upheld by Congress. Supporters of the measure gathered suf- ficient votes to override in the House, but they failed by three votes in the Senate. A two-thirds minority is required to override. The President held his first press conference since November 26 to announce changes in the much criticized intelligence operations. One change would be giving the director of the Central Intelligence Agency control over spying by other agencies. The next day, Ford, by executive order, laid down procedures curbing domestic spying. Newspaper heiress Patty Hearst testified for three days in her trial on bank robbery charges. She and the jury visited the houses where she was held captive by the Symbionese Liberation Army before the robbery. Miss Hearst had told the jury that her life and that of her parents had been threatened if she took the witness stand. With the vital New Hampshire primary coming up Tuesday, former Georgia Gov.

They won a total of 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, defeated Agnes Scott in games which were "disputed" because of errors made by the judges. The Agnes Scott objections were overruled, and both games were lost by five points. Fifteen rounds were played, and the scores were as follows: ASC-125, University of Tennessee (Knoxville) - 140 ASC 170, Georgia Southern University - 55; ASC 130, Georgia College (Milledgeville) - 75; ASC - 185, Shorter College - 55; ASC - 180, Armstrong State College - 185; ASC - 105, Berry College - 110; ASC - 235, Piedmont College; ASC - 175, University of Tennessee (Chattanooga) - 3); ASC - 180, Newberry College - 150; ASC - 115, Columbus College - 100; ASC - 200, Georgia Institute of Technology - (the defending champions) - 150; ASC - 300, Valdosta State University - 0; ASC - 235, Georgia Southwestern College - 95; ASC - 50, University of South Carolina (Coastal) - 200 and ASC - 195, University of Southern Mis- sissippi - 70. All members of the Agnes Scott team participated in the competition. Three members played in all rounds: Anne Walker, team captain, Kate Kus- srow and Susan Pirkle; Alice Lightle participated in nine rounds, Elanor McCain participated in three rounds, Barbara Williams participated in two rounds, and Lynn Wilson participated in one round. The team was cheered on by Agnes Scott students, and their defeat by the University of South Carolina (Coastal) ended the longest winning streak of the tournament.

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.

Page 2 Editorial 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. Julia Midkiff EM 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. Please assess your available time and help us in this endeavor. Thank you, HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, GA. HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF DEKALB, GA. Cathy Crosby, Program Development Advisor Editorial "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. Julia Midkiff, Editor 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.

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.

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. Wildfire in the south.

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 sponsored by mortar board Agnes Scott's fourth Ap- plicant's Weekend began Thurs- day afternoon and will continue through lunch on Saturday, April 10.

Phi Beta Kappa is a national honorary society founded in 1776. The Agnes Scott Chapter is one of four in Georgia and the only one in a Georgia Women's college. Dr. Catherine S. Sims, visiting professor of history at Agnes Scott and a senator of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, will address the opening session of the celebration on Wednesday, April 21, at 11:30 a.m. in Presser Hall. Dr. Sims will speak on the topic "Our Ancient and Honorable Fraternity/' Dr. Rosemary Park of the University of California, Los Angeles, will deliver the celebration's keynote address on Thursday, April 22, at 8:15 p.m. Her talk is entitled "Sine Qua Non." Dr. Park, emeritus profes- sor of education, is a member of the Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in High Education and of the board of directors of the. Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- vancement of Teaching. She is a senator and an immediate past president of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. She has served as president of two eastern women's colleges and as vice- chancellor for educational plan- ning and programs at UCLA, Los Angeles. Economist Juanita M. Kreps, author of the book, Sex in the Marketplace: American Women at Work, is also scheduled to speak in honor of the celebration. Dr. Kreps will lec- ture Friday, April 23, at 11:15 a.m., on "The Changing Work and Lifestyles of Women." She plans to review women's positions in the work force and raise the question of future market and non-market ac- tivities of women and men. Vice- president and James B. Duke Professor of Economics at Duke University, Dr. Kreps holds a presidential appointment on the National Commission for Man- power Policy and is a consultant to the U.S. Senate Special Com- mittee on Aging.

She is the author and co-author of several books on economics and editor of several professional journals. 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. Brigitte Rivory rage * 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.

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.

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 A PERFECT 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. from The Agnes Scott News, Jan. 24, 1976 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. Freshmen Needle award festival interview opens April 24 Needlepoint and embroidery by adults and children from throughout the United States will be displayed at the second Golden Needle Award Festival in Atlanta, April 24 through May 1. The Festival, sponsored by Atlanta Alumnae Clubs of Agnes Scott College, will be at downtown Rich's department store auditorium off Spring Street. The show will be open to the public during regular store hours, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On display in addition to the entries will be needlework by members of famous families in the worlds of politics, entertainment, literature and business. Many of the families are from Georgia. Judges for the Golden Needle Award Festival will be nationally recognized needlecraft artists Virginia Maxwell, Louis J. Gartner and Hope Hanley.

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. The Profil Vol. LXII - No. 20 'AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GEORGIA 30030' April 23, 1976 Cottages Available for summer Agnes Scott College is offering a summer housing program for currently enrolled students who plan to work or study in the Atlanta area during the summer of 1976. Students enrolled in the 1975-76 session at Agnes Scott College are eligible for summer housing provided in cottages operated by the College. A limited number of residence spaces will be available from 3:00 p.m. on June 7 through 12:00 noon on September 4. The total cost for the summer period is $165. Applications for the program must be accompanied by a $50 nonrefundable deposit. Since monthly or weekly rentals are not required in the summer program, the remaining $115 can be paid by June 18. Completed Faculty interview applications with the $50 deposit should be forwarded to the Of- fice of the Dean of Students. The College will, to the degree pos- sible, make housing assignments according to the room and preference shown on the ap- plication blank. Cottage as- signments will be made on the basis of applications received by May 14, and, after that date, any remaining spaces will be as- signed on a "first come-first served" basis. Services provided by the summer housing program in- clude adequate cooking facilities in the cottages (students will not be provided with food service from the dining hall), regular maid service, coin operated washers and dryers in Main Hall, by Julia Midkiff 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- Page 2 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- pression that Motor Boat's presence at the end of the processional line was traditional and members of Mortar Board 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. thought was expected of Motor Boat. 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." Sally Echols [Editor's note: The presence of "Motor Boat" is a traditional part of the Mortar Board ceremonies, and is "emphatically endorsed" by the Mortar Board.] To the Agnes Scott community, The 1976 Silhouette staff ex- presses its thanks to everyone who has helped us this year through deadlines, pictures, and organization. Through the Silhouette, we have tried to cap- ture the spirit of the 1975-1976 year. Plans are already under way for the 1977 Silhouette.

Sincerely, Gay Blackburn, Editor, 1976 Silhouette 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! announcing. . .

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." Page 4 Profile/ April 23, 1976 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. from the Agnostic, 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. Crossword puzzle ACROSS I.

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. G-PIRG welcomes the help of any student who would like to volunteer. If you would like to help, please contact G-PIRG members Becky Johnson, Jan Fleishman, Sandra Saseen, Sharon Collings, Tish DuPont. 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. Those interested in additional information may write "Coping, Inc.," Box 1414, Decatur, 30031. 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 Page 2 Editorial Profile/ April 30, 1976 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.

Susan Smith 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. . .

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.

The Agnes Scott Blackfriars will present Tennessee Williams' "The Milktrain Doesn't Stop Here Anymore," Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8, and Thursday and Friday, May 13 and 14. Performances will be in the Winter Theatre of the Dana Fine Arts Building. "The Milktrain Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" first opened on Broadway in January, 1963. Tallulah Bankhead and Tab Hunter were later featured in the present revised version. Williams' play was adapted for film in Boom, with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The ASC production considers "Milktrain" to be as much a performed poem as it is a drama. The play is seen as a time exten- sion of the final moments of "Sis- sy" Goforth's (Carole Langston) life. The aging Goforth is writing her memoirs in her villa on the Kat Gowan and Italian coast. With the arrival of young Christopher Flanders (Dennis Puccini), Mrs. Goforth is forced to face the larger issues of trust, love, death, and survival. William's play also employs stage 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.

The contestants are judged on the main points which are considered in physical exams weight, carriage, posture, and feet.

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 gasoline-burning motor Rep Reports Newly elected chairpersons on various Rep committees gave their report tonight. Sally Stamper of Convocation Com- mittee announced that Tuesday and Thursday chapels would not be held next year. She added that Dr. Perry is interested in receiv- ing student ideas on speakers for convocation. Carol Corbett, of Library Comm. welcomes any comments and complaints which vehicles, followed by industrial and power plants and in- cinerators. A nationwide poll by Opinion Research Corporation indicates that in spite of "recession, unem- ployment, and rising costs," most Americans do not want to reduce spending on en- vironmental control programs. In order to focus attention on the fight against air pollution, the American Lung Association is sponsoring a "Lung Alert" dur- ( ing Clean Air Week. The program will include activities such as bike races and car ex- haust checks in an effort to demonstrate ways to "combat pollution and protect our lungs." The Georgia Lung Association has released reports from recent studies which concern the adverse effects of smoking mari- juana on the lungs. Research in- dicates that marijuana retards the action of scavenger cells that "gobble up germs" in the lungs. Smoking marijuana, like smok- ing tobacco, decreases the ability of the lungs to pass oxygen and other gases into the bloodstream. The American Lung As- sociation advocates public sup- port of regulations limiting auto and industrial emissions and set- ting air quality standards, removal of pollutants from fuel before burning, more adequate non-polluting transportation and less polluting waste disposal. The Association also advises use of sprays and aerosols only with proper ventilation, "respecting the rights of non-smokers, kic- king the smoking habit and changing furnace and air con- ditioning filters regularly." students have concerning the library.

A good study area is available in the attic. One minus to life in Inman is the musical heating system. The halls are not carpeted and there is some talk aboutthe lack of wash- ing machines. However, since there are no wings to the floors there is an added sense of com- munity and for those who enjoy porch swings, Inman isdefinitely the place. Main is usually the choice of Seniors.

GEORGIA 30030. May 14, 1976 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. Page 2 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.

Deborah Moock, Nancy Perry, Susan Smith 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 Profile/May 14, 1976 Page 3 arts/entertainment 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.

Lynn Summer, President of 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. Classes Plan Black Cat 76 Black Cat 76 is already en- thusiastically being planned. Those selected to head the Black Cat Junior Class production are: Linda Kimbrough, director; Hope Lamade, Musical director; Sally Stamper, lyricist; Pannie Burchenal, technical director; Martie Lovvorn, designer; Becky Strickland, script chairman; Kay Cochrane, Sharon Hatcher, Mimi Holmes, Cathy Walters, and Eleanor Yancey, script com- mittee. The positions of actors and crew are waiting to be filled next fall. Leading their classes during Black Cat will be Nancy Burnham, chairman and Pat McWaters, song chairman (class of '77)) to be elected (class of 78) Trudy Stone, chairman, and Dacia Small, song chairman (class of 79). Blackfriars, presented the following theatre awards: the Winter-Green Summer Scholarship to Elaine Williams, the Claude S. Bennett Trophy to Carole Langston, and the Kimmel Award to Elaine Williams. The Dalton Awards in recognition of outstanding student art work were presented to Brandon Brame (50.00), Kate Kussrow ($20.00), Mimi Holmes ($20.00), and Beth Dewall ($10.00). The Division of Analytical Chemistry award was presented to Elizabeth Rachel Doscher. Promotions for the following professors were approved by the Board of Trustees: Theodore K. Mathews (Associate Professor of Music), Thomas E. Simpson (As- sociate Professor of Biology), and Vladimir Volkoff (Associate Professor of French and Russian. The Board also approved the ap- pointment of Professor Mary Virginia Allen to the Adeline Arnold Loridans Chair of French. Students participate in summer programs by Susan Smith This should come as no surprise to most, but summer is almost here. In preparation for the blessed event, Scotties all over campus have made wonderful plans for filling those days when classrooms here at ASC will be closed. The follow- ing are some of the programs and studies in which Agnes Scott students will be involved. Those participating in the ASC summer study in Rome (June 14- July 28) are Miss Zenn, Sue Jinks, Lydia Bendeck and her sister Olga, Ann Alexander, Gena Briley, Sarah Echols, Jane Fraley, Beth Meaney, Lou Holcomb, Mimi Holmes, Gloria Howard, Sarah Latture, Laura Underwood, Anita Kern (ASC 75) and John Geren (a senior at Mercer). Five students will take part in the Desert Biology course - a three week field trip to the desert environments of the western United States with Mr. Wistrand. They are: Jasemine Choy, Tracey Jones, Gloria Lewis, Nancy Perry and Sally Workman. From the Chemistry department, Evelyn Babcock will work in the Atlanta laboratory of the Coca Cola Company as a replacement for various personnel on vacation. Kathy Fitch and Susan Smith will work at Agnes Scott in an undergraduate research program funded by the National Science Foundation, and jointly managed by members of the chemistry departments of Georgia State University and ASC. Also participating in a National Science Foundation sponsored program are Renee Davis, Cindy Hodges and Lydia Wilkes. Their program is connected with the psychology department of the University of Georgia. Several of the Theatre students will be working in theatre- related jobs this summer: Brenda Jernigan will be work- ing as an actress with the newly established pageant, The Mcin- tosh Trail south of Atlanta. Carole Langston will be on the staff of the Emory University Summer Theatre as Technical Director. She will also be acting in several of the Summer productions. Linda Mclnnis will be return- ing to her work with lighting at the Crystal Pistol at Six Flags. Jennifer Middleton is ap- prenticing at the Flat Rock Playhouse just outside of Ashville, North Carolina. Elaine Williams will be working as an apprentice in charge of props with the Creede Repertory Theatre in Creede, Colorado. From the French department, Sally Stamper will take part in a summer study in Avignon, France with the Bryn Mawr program. Dacia Small and Beth Mason will both participate in the Emory summer study program in France. Mary Anne Barlow is going to England with Mr. Brown and a group of alumnae. Carolyn Bitter will be working as an intern in Senator Nunn's Washington of- fice. Lynn Wilson is going to study Norwegian political science and medieval art and his- tory in Blindern, Norway. Page 2 Editorial Profile/May 21, 1976 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 Roses and Thorns A rose to: . . .all students who participated in the Freshman Class China Survey. . . .the cafeteria, for pulling its rating up . . .McKinney Book Award contestants . . .summer vacation A thorn to: . . .alumnae who use campus washers and dryers . . .people who leave beer cans in the parking lot . . .exams, as usual. 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.

Susan Smith Julia Midkiff, Deborah Moock, Nancy 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. President Wallace M. Alston 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 (cont'd, on p. 4, col. 1) 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 (cont'd, on p. 4, col. 3) summer The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw, music director, has announced a uni- que new program for its summer season: a series of concerts en- titled "Mostly Music (And a Little Talk)."

(cont'd, from p. 3, col. 4) 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.
