(Editor's Note: The first in a
five-part series, the following
article will deal with the issues of
inflation and jobs and unem-
ployment. The profiles do not
purport to be inclusive, but con-
tain information gathered by
Common Cause. In preparing
these profiles, Common Cause
used issue materials released
directly by the candidates and
records of their positions as
reported by major news media.
Direct quotes have been used
wherever possible.)
Inflation

"My first objective," President
Ford states, 'Is to have sound
economic growth without in-
flation." jimmy Carter, the
Democratic candidate, counters
by declaring, "There are more
humane and economically
sound solutions to inflation than
the Republican program of
forced recessions and high
unemployment." Carter's stand
on government spending: "We
need to institute zero-based
budgeting, wherein we strip
down the budget each year to
zero and start from scratch, and
require every program that
spends the taxpayer's money to
rejustify itself annually. If the
economy is managed progres-
sively, we can attain a balanced
budget with full employment by
1979 before the end of the first
term of my Administration."
Ford's answer: . .the

Government must stop spending
so much and borrowing so much

of our money; more money must
remain in private hands where it
will do the most good. To hold
down the cost of living, we must
hold down the cost of
government."

In answer to the question of
wage and price controls, Ford
asserts: "I would like to reiterate
my firm opposition to wage and

price controls I do not believe

on the basis of past history of
wage and price controls during
peacetime that they worked."
Carter's position: "While I op-
pose across-the-board
permanent wage and price con-
trols, I favor standby controls
which the President can apply
selectively."

In dealing with inflationary
food prices, Carter says, "We
need a national food policy that
will assure the consumer abun-
dance of supply at prices he or
she can afford and will avoid the
shortages that drive prices
higher. Such a policy can also as-
sure farmers that they can
produce abundantly at a fair
price to them. We can do both."
And: "We should maintain a
predictable, reasonably small
and stable reserve of agricultural
products. . .We must strive to
give farmers incentives to
produce abundantly."

Ford on food: "Our big
problem. . .is the middleman
profit. The farmer doesn't get it
and the consumer doesn't get it,
and one of the jobs that the
Department of Justice must do,

the Federal Trade Commission
must do, and others, is to find out
why there is such an abnormally
high differential between what
the farmer gets and what the
consumer pays, and we are going
to go after it." He goes on to
state, "I believe very strongly
that Earl Butz is one of the finest
Secretaries of Agriculture our
country has ever had."
lobs and Unemployment

The candidates express
philosophical differences over
the jobs and unemployment is-
sue. The President stresses the
need for slow, careful economic
policies, while Carter's chief
concern is with full employment.
"The best and most effective way
to create new jobs is to pursue
balanced economic policies that
encourage the growth of the
private sector without risking a
new round of inflation. This is
the core of my economic policy. .
.," says Ford. "It is true that what I
am proposing is not going to get
the unemployed back to work
overnight. But it will get them
back to work, with lasting and
secure jobs not deadend jobs
supported by the government. .

Governor Carter, however,
says, "I think the major priority
of the next Administration has
got to be employment. I believe
that anyone who is able to work
ought to work and ought to
have a chance to work. . .any
system of economics is bankrupt

Dr. C. Benton Kline, Jr., a
former professor of philosophy
and dean of the faculty, has been
appointed as the first Wallace
McPherson Alston Visiting
Professor at Agnes Scott College.

In 1973, the Agnes Scott board
of trustees instituted the profes-
sorship named in honor of Dr.
Wallace M. Alston, president of
Agnes Scott from 1951 to 1973.
This professorship is in the
department of Bible and
religion, and during the fall
quarter, Dr. Kline will teach "The
Philosophy of Religion."

After announcing ap-
pointment of Dr. Kline,
President Marvin Perry, Jr.
stated: "It is particularly fitting

For the greater part of the Rep
council meeting of September
28, President Perry spoke to the
members of Rep. The topic of
discussion will be presented to
the student body in detail in a
later issue of the Profile.

Debbie Smith, secretary,
reported to Rep on the BSA
meeting of September 22. She
reminded all heads of
organizations that BSA is in
charge of the Hub, and anyone

that Professor Kline be the first
incumbent of the Alston Chair.
Dr. Kline joined the Agnes Scott
faculty in 1951, the first year of
President Alston 's ad-
ministration. By general
agreement he was the most
effective, popular and respected
teachers in the faculty during the
50's and 60's.

Professor Kline has served as
the dean of faculty at Columbia
Theological Seminary and as
president from 1971 until 1975
since he served as dean of the
faculty at Agnes Scott from 1957
to 1968. He remains on the
faculty of the Seminary as a
professor of theology.

desiring to use the Hub for an
organized function must go
through BSA. Debbie also asked
everyone to be sure to buy an AA
calendar. As a result of giving
free calendars to new students,
AA needs your support to meet
printing costs. Finally, she
reminded the Council that any
copy to be turned in to the
Profile for publication is due on
the Monday prior to the desired
Friday publication date.

Editorial

Get Involved!

Often one of the most difficult changes that a new student must
face when coming to a school for the first time is the problem of
feeling like something of a second left foot. Her thinking might go
something like this: "The school was getting along very well before
I got here, so obviously it doesn't need me." The truth is, however,
that the school does need you. New students mean new ideas, new
discoveries, new possibilities. And even if you're a student that's
been around awhile but has not previously spoken up and helped
to mold her college environment, you are also needed. Agnes Scott
College is the people that live and work here. Its character is your
character.

It is likely that every student at Agnes Scott has some topic which
is particularly interesting to her, be it anything from politics to
poetics. The majority of these students are likely to find that there is
a club, organization, or publication in which she can participate
along with others who share a similar interest. All that most of these
groups require is motivation: the motivation to show up at a
meeting, to commit oneself to working for and caring about the
organization, the motivation to be responsible. There is no greater
replacement for the "second left foot" feeling than the feeling of
involvement and accomplishment.

Very often it is true that only a handful of people hold most of the
responsibility on campus. Seemingly those who aren't involved are
totally uninvolved while others hold three or four positions at one
time. A "balance of power" would not only be beneficial to the
health of overtaxed student officers, it would also help the campus
by providing a greater variety of thought and input of ideas.

For yourself and for your school get involved! Don't just com-
plain about what dissatisfies you, do something actively to change
the situation. Don't watch other people having all the fun, join in it
yourself. Most important, don't waste four years full of more ex-
citing opportunities than you'll ever encouter again because of
shyness, apathy, or ignorance.

If you're interested in a specific group, the Student Handbook
provides short descriptions which give a general idea of each
organization's activities, goals, and function. The best way to get
more information is to contact the president, editor, or chairwoman
herself, all of them will probably, all of them will probably welcome
interested newcomers with enthusiasm. If you find that there is no
existing group that meets your needs advertise! In the Profile, by
posters, at class meetings if you let other people know of your
interest the chances are that soon you'll be forming you're own
organization. Whatever your interest and however you pursue it,
the important point is get involved!

Students completing teacher
preparation programs may take
the National Teacher Ex-
aminations on any of the three
different test dates announced
by Educational Testing Service, a
nonprofit, educational
organization which preparesand
administers this testing program.

Dates for the testing of
prospective teachers are:

November 13, 1976, February 19,
1977, and July 16, 1977. The tests
will be given at nearly 400
locations throughout the United
States, ETS said.

Results of the National
Teacher Examination are used by
many large school districts as
one of several factors in the
selection of new teachers and by
several states for certification or
licensing of teachers. Some
colleges also require all seniors
preparing to teach totaketheex-
aminations.

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

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

The Bulletin of Information for
Candidates contains a list of test
centers, and general information
about the examinations, as well
as a Registration Form. Copies

Palo Alto, Calif. (I. P.) -
"Unevenness in grading" and
"the breakdown of ordinary
standards of honesty" call for a
total reassessment of the Honor
Code, reports Ombudsman John
D. Goheen of Stanford
University. He blamed the
situation on today's intense
competition for top grades
vital for admission to profes-
sional schools.

"This leads to two results with
which this office has been
concerned. "One is the ques-
tioning by students of the grad-
ing in large classes with many
instructors and assistants in-
volved. "Unevenness in grading,
which might have been accepted
asa natural consequence of large
classes with multiple instructors,
now appears as a matter of major
importance.

"Under the present pressing
circumstances in which the
grade is often regarded as more
important than the subject
matter, the difference between a
B-plus and an A-minus can be
viewed as ruinous.

''The other apparent
derivative, closely related to the
same circumstances of pressure
and competition, is the break-
down of ordinary standards of
honesty." Though the actual
numbers of students who give or
receive unpermitted aid in ex-
aminations is not known,

Goheen noted, "information
coming to this office indicates a
considerable disregard of the
Honor Code."

Rosalynn Carter, wife of
Democratic presidential can-
didate Jimmy Carter, stated that
she favors the legalization of
marijuana. Mrs. Carter feels that
a life-long criminal record result-
ing from a marijuana conviction
can be very damaging,
particularly to young people.
Although she would like to see
marijuana decriminalized, Mrs.
Carter emphasized that she is
personally "very, very much op-
posed to marijuana."

Delegate Al Haider, an Arab
Sunni Moslem, will be the first
Arab member of the Israeli
delegation to the United
Nations' General Assembly.
Haidar, a teacher and graduate
of the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, was born in the
village of Kufar Qaria and has
lived for some time in Nazareth.

Anchorage, Alaska - (I. P.) -
Faculty at the University of
Alaska are being encouraged to
develop a professional code of
ethics in the wake of student
complaints. Stephen A. Norrell,
chairman of the University's
Academic Council and professor
of microbiology, is asking that
faculty formulate a mechanism
of internal controls and self-
policing. The complaints deal

with faculty conduct and in-
clude:

Unfair grading practices, rang-
ing all the way from not ever tell-
ing students what is to be ex-
pected from them to telling
them one thing and then doing
something else.

Missing scheduled classes
consistently and/or arbitrarily
changing the time and/or place
of the class.

Dismissing class consistently
early. One report claims that the
instructor of a three-hour class
rarely met for more than one and
one-half hours during the entire
semester.

Tampering with the faculty
evaluation process by removing
and destroying unfavorable
reports and/or asking students
to fill out two or more reports.

Reprisals against students who
turn to division heads or deans
for help.

Lack of concern by division
heads and a generally excessively
patronizing attitude by those in
authority toward the complaints.

"It is clear," says Norrell, "that
the majority of faculty do their
job in the best possible way. But
this unethical conduct really
does go on amongst a small
number of faculty, and
students are frustrated by the
lack of recourse."

An exciting nine day celebration featuring the food, drink, and
entertainment of a traditional German Oktoberfest will be held at
The Old Munich Gasthaus in Sandy Springs October 1-9,
highlighted by special nightly events. The Old Munich Gasthaus is
located at 6521 Roswell Rd. in Sandy Springs, one mile north of the I-
285 Roswell Rd. Exit. The festival will offer merchant displays as well
as five brands of imported German beer and special food platters.
German entertainment will also be provided.

The High Museum is proud to
bring a weekend of Charlie
Chaplin to Atlanta October 1-3.
The weekend will feature both
shorts and feature films
highlighting the long and varied
career of Chaplin.

Tillie's Punctured Romance
(43 minutes, 1914) will begin the
weekend by showcasing Chaplin
in his first feature length film.
The film also features Marie
Dressier, Mack Swain and the
Keystone Kops, and includes a
classic Sennett chase sequence.
Also shown on October 1 will be
Behind the Screen (25 minutes,
1917), a hilarious film featuring
Chaplin as the cop who deals out
law and order. All three films will
be shown in the High Museum's
Hill Auditorium, beginning at 8
p.m.

The program for October 2,
will begin in the Hill Auditorium
at 8 p.m. with The Pawnshop (25
minutes, 1916). This film asks the
question, can any business
survive the special Chaplin
touch? Also shown will be One
A.M., (25 minutes, 1916) an
amazing virtuoso performance
by Chaplin as a drunken playboy
who tries to make it home, The
Rink (25 minutes, 1916) featuring
Chaplin as a lovestruck, but
determined, ice skater in pursuit
of Edna Purviance, and The Cure
(25 minutes, 1917) in which
Chaplin's alcoholic character is
not altogether sincere in his

quest for rehabilitation.

On October 3, perhaps the
most popular Chaplin feature
will be shown, Modern Times (89
minutes, 1936). A brilliant satire
on life in the factory, the film in-
cludes some of the most
hilarious sequences on film.
Modern Times was an ideal
vehicle for the little tramp's last
real appearance on the screen. It
is a perfect weaving of all the
elements that made Chaplin the
most beloved performer in the
world.

The film was Chaplin's last
attempt at keeping the silent film
tradition alive in the sound eara.
He did make use of voices
emanating from radios and
televisions sets, some sound
effects, and he composed a score
for the film, as he had for his
earlier film City Lights in 1931;
but, the tramp character main-
tained his silence, except for a
gibbrish song he performs as a
singing waiter.

Appearing whith Chaplin in
'Modern Times is Paulette God-
dard, who was his wife at that
time. Her performance in this
picture, and in Chaplin's next
film, The Great Dictator (1940)
brought her a great deal of atten-
tion, and she became one of the
leading stars of the 1940's.

Tickets for the Chaplin films
are $2.00 general admission, and
$1.50 to students with I.D.

Atlanta features
dance concerts

Dance Atlanta has announced
that series tickets for the 1976-77
season are now on sale at the
Atlanta Memorial Arts Center
box office.

The series will begin with
Dance Theatre of Harlem, under
the artistic direction of Arthur
Mithcell, on Friday, November 5
and Saturday, November 6 at
8:00 p.m. and Sunday,
November 7 at 3:00 p.m. at the
Atlanta CivicCenter. Arthur Mit-
chell, a former star of George
Balanchine's New York City
Ballet, founded Dance Theatre
of Harlem and its associated
school to train black dancers in
classical ballet. In just seven short
years the company has achieved
international recognition, not
only for its performance of works
in the black idiom but for its
skilled interpretations of Mr.
Balanchine's classical
choreography.

The Jose Limon Dance Com-
pany, which inaugurated the
Dance Atlanta program in
December 1973, will make return
appearance on Saturday,

February 12 at 8:00 p.m. in
Symphony Hall, Atlanta
Memorial Arts Center. Since Mr.
Limon's death in 1972, the com-
pany has been under the direc-
tion of former principal dancer
Ruth Currier. Ms. Currier has
maintained many of Mr. Limon's
most powerful and moving
works and has also added works
by his former co-director Doris
Humphrey. The Humphrey
revivals were especially well-
received during the company's
New York season last spring. A
mixed program of Limon and
Humphrey works is planned for
Atlanta.

The Alwin Nikolais Dance
Theatre will appear in Symphony
Hall on Saturday, March 26 at
8:00 p.m. Mr. Nikolais is a
pioneer in the use of stagecraft
and scenic effects. His newest
work, Triad, uses mirrored
constructions to augment and
reflect the movements on stage.

In addition to performances,
each company in the Dance

The art show, "Expressions
from Maine, 1976," opened Sept.
26 and will be on display through
October 23. The exhibit is in the
Dalton Galleriesof the Dana Fine
Arts Building. Gallery hours are
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5
p.m., and Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m.

cludes the paintings, sculptures,
watercolors, lithographs and
other types of art by 41 living
artists from the state of Maine.
Among the artists represented
are painters Andrew Wyeth,
Stephen Etnierand John Laurent,
sculptors Emery Godd and
George Curtis, and lithographer
John Muench. Also in the show
are words by David Driskell, one
of America's foremost
authorities on African art.

The collection reveals a wide
range of techniques and media.
The expressions of the various
artists range from fanciful ex-
presionism to stark realism to
abstractionism. The media
ranges from oil on paper to
acrylic collage, from wood
engraving to metal sculpture.
One of the more unusual media
represented is silver cloisonne,
an ancient technique of applying
silver to enamel.

"Expressions from Maine,
1976" is on loan from Mr. and
Mrs. John W. Payson of Hobe
Sound Galleries, Hobe Sound,
Fla. The show has been exhibited

increased tax revenues

unemployment and a $5 billion

defense budget will repay his
proposed programs.

Carter has said, "Wherever
there is a choice between
channeling jobs in the private
sector or the "public, I would
favor the private. 'His private
market incentives formula
would combine public programs
to train people for work in
private sector jobs, and incen-
tives to employers who employ
young persons and persons with
lengthy records of unem-
ployment. The Democratic can-
didate also favors incentives to
those employers who provide
flexible hours of employment
and flexible jobs, to aid access by
women to the marketplace.

President Ford vetoed the
Common Picketing Bill (HR

plained: "The collective
bargaining provisions have great
merit. It is to the common situs

Carter favors common situs

in comprehensive collective

favors arbitration for public

The National Influenza Im-

presents a challenge of new
proportions to the people of the
United States.

The objective of this project in
preventive medicine is to
provide vaccine for more than
200 million Americans within a
six-month period of time.

In February 1976, a strain of
human influenza, called "swine
flu" was isolated during an out-
break of respiratory disease
among recruits at Ft. Dix, N.J.
Twelve cases were confirmed,
with one death. Blood testing of
recruits indicated that several
hundred more were infected.
Since this was a major change
from viruses currently
circulating in the human
population, and since such ma-
jor changes have historically

From the column "Galley
Slave" by Alice Beardsley, which
appeared in the October 2, 1946
issue of the Agnes Scott News:

"There has been in the last few
days extensive discussion among
upper-classmen on the topic 'the
value of keeping a "Freshman
Book'." This book would be
somewhat like the one mother
keeps for baby and would record
the bright sayings of Agnes
Scott's new children.

"This book is needed, argues
one school of thought, because
never before have there been
cute sayings brought in by these
freshmen. They ought to be
preserved. Freshmen keep
Agnes Scott eternally young,
they say, and if we could have
these sayings to read them oc-
casionally, all students of all
classes could have that eternally
young feeling.

"Another school of thought
contends that the freshmen are
no more guilty of bright sayings
than are sophomores or juniors.

Although unknown to some
ASC students, the Board of
Student Activities is a vital part
of the non-academic life of the
campus. The main purposes of
the Board are communication
on the campus and providing
or coordinating activities for
the student body.

The Board is always open to
suggestions for activities. For
example, many times when
there are functions off campus

that certain students would like
to attend but don't have the
transportation, the Board will
help in coordinating the outing
and in finding students with
cars who would also like to go.
Be sure to check the Wheelin
'N Dealing section of the Arts
Council Bulletin Board in the
post office area.

BSA also coordinates TGIF

Presidential candidates on the issues

(Editor's Note: Last week the
Profile published the first
article of a five-part series deal-
ing with the Presidential can-
didates on the issues. This
week's comparison of Ford and
Carter spotlights their positions
on the issues of the role of the
federal government and
government accountability.)
Role of the Federal
Government

"We must not continue drif-
ting in the direction of bigger
and bigger government," says
President Ford. Both can-
didates have attacked huge,
unmanageable bureaucracies,
yet their approaches differ.
Jimmy Carter's campaign has
focused on bureaucratic
reorgnization. using the
Governor's record in Georgia
as a possible model. Carter
states, "We must give top
priority to a drastic and
thorough revision and
reorganization of the federal
bureaucracy, to its budgeting
system and to the procedures

for analyzing the effectiveness
of its services. The number of
federal agencies should be
reduced to no more than 200. .
." Carter has advocated zero-
based budgeting, but when
asked if zero-based budgeting
would be considered, Ford
avoided any direct or explicit
comment on the concept.
Recently Carter was asked,
"You're talking about more ef-
ficient government, not neces-
sarily smaller government?"
His reply: "That's right."

On the controversial issue of
aid to cities, the candidates
again have slightly different ap-
proaches. "The welfare burden
should be removed from a city
such as New York City with all
welfare costs being paid by the
federal and state
governments," says Carter. In
addition, he would bolster our
urban transportation system by
"substantially increasing the
amount of money available
from the Highway Trust Fund
for public mass transportation"

and by permitting localities to
use greater amounts of their
federal mass transit funds as
operating subsidies. Ford has
proposed a three-step program
of aid to cities. "Number one, I
would make sure that the
Congress passes what is called
revenue sharing ... Number
two, I would extend what we
call the Community
Development Act ... Number
three, I would urge the con-
tinuation of what we call the
Law Enforcement Ad-
ministration Act, which is
federally authorized programs
to give federal money to local
units of government and to the
States to help those cities and
States enforce their laws." Ford
has also appointed a 13-
member committee that in-
cludes eight Cabinet members
to study the problems of the
cities.

Carter also supports revenue
sharing, and in fact proposes an
extension of the program" ...
for five years, with an increase

in the annual funding level to
compensate for inflation and
with enforcement of the civil
rights provisions of the bill to
guarantee against dis-
criminatory use of the funds."
The President has praised the
program by saying that "... state
and local governments have
proved beyond any doubt
whatsoever the merit of local
control over local concerns."

Transportation policies of
the candidates differ. Ford
signed a $17.5 billion two-year
extension of federal highway
aid. The measure allows states
and cities to use funds from
withdrawn segments of
interstate highway projects for
other road and mass transit
projects. He has also signed
measures to improve rail
service in the Northeast
corridor and reorganize bank-
rupt railroads in the Northeast
and Midwest. Jimmy Carter
says, "We need a national com-
prehensive transportation
policy and it is obvious that the

savings in fuel, operating, and
pollution costs from intensive
use of railroads should provide
them with a competitive ad-
vantage over other forms of
transportation..."

Ford rejects economic plan-
ning, and Carter says that he
opposes "... the type of rigid,
bureaucratic centralized plan-
ning characteristic of com-
munist countries." Governor
Carter believes that planning
can be carried out without the
creation of a new bureaucracy.
He states, "It is imperative that
we study ways to anticipate
problems rather than await
their arrival and once again
react with ill-coveted solutions
in a crisis environment." Ford's
opposition to economic plan-
ning stems from his announced
view of it as just another in-
trusion of government in the
private sector.

Editorial

A time for us

Black Cat time is here again, our hearts are full of cheer again
mostly because no professor dares to assign a paper or give a test
during that marvelous and mystical time of year known as Black Cat
Weekend. Just what is this Black Cat business, though? The events of
this weekend may have many historical and/or traditional reasons
for existing, but what Black Cat really is depends on who you really
are.

If you are a freshman, Black Cat is confusing. For freshmen, the
most important aspect seems to be the Big Mascot Mystery, and
keeping it as mysterious as possible particularly to the
sophomores. Freshmen need to remember that Black Cat is one of
the best opportunities they will have for growing close to their class,
and close to their school.

If you are a sophomore, Black Cat is the time to play "Coerce the
Freshmen" (hopefully not with violence). Sophomores should keep
in mond how they felt as freshmen, and try to behave like friends,
bot Comanche raiders.

juniors and seniors feel old during Black Cat. They can preoccupy
their time with the Black Cat Production, but occasionally they may
feel a little outside of the mainstream of events. Juniors and seniors
need to rediscover their own classes. They need to win the song
competition or the hockey game, they need to prove that there is
life after sophomore year. (By the way, the production still needs
people to help, particularly backstage.)

The point of this little sermon is that Black Cat is here to draw us
together, to let us enjoy ourselves and each other, and to help us to
think of ourselves as a genuine community of people living and
working together by choice that's what Black Cat really is, for
everyone.

Yes, Virginia, there are men
in the Agnes Scott College
dorms. And no, Virginia, they
are not Agnes Scott employees;
they are Georgia Tech
engineers, Emory med students
and even Columbia's future
ministers. The sacred halls of
Main and Rebekah resound
with the sound of masculine
voices, and in Inman, Hopkins,
Walters and Winship male
chuckles can be heard emanat-
ing from behind closed doors

Refreshing as it may be, open
dorms results in some unique
situations. Where else, for
instance, does a girl get a
chance to escort her date to the
bathroom? And since when
have the rooms been so neat?

But being entertained in a
Scottie's room can prove
awkward for a young man. Sun-
day one sat perched on the
edge of a chair, furtively keep-

ing watch on the closet doors.
When his hostess asked why he
was so uneasy, he replied that
he was expecting a security
guard to leap from the closet at
any moment and arrest him for
violating the sanctity of an
Agnes Scott dorm room.

There are rumors that one
dorm held a contest to see who
could be the first one in the
dorm to have a man in her
room, and that next week the
competition will be to see who
can host the most men at one
time. Stuffing Agnes Scott
dorm rooms with an ever-in-
creasing number of men may
become a bigger fad than
swallowing goldfish ever was.
(And it certainly promises to be
more fun.)

ponded to the post-Watergate
mood by answering questions
concerning abuse of powers.
Carter states, "As President, I
will be responsible for the con-
duct of the Executive Branch of
government. Errors or
malfeasance will be
immediately revealed, and an
explanation given to the
public, along with corrective
action to prevent any reoc-
curence of such actions."
Carter opposes easy access to
income tax returns, saying:
"Access to this essentially
private information should be
strictly circumscribed." On
February 18, 1976, Ford issued
an executive order which es-
tablished a new chain of com-
mand and operational
guidelines for the nation's
intelligence agencies. In ad-
dition to the executive order,
Ford has proposed legislation
dealing with intelligence ac-
tivities to make "... it a crime to
assassinate or attempt to as-
sassinate a foreign official in
peace time..."

In an obvious response to the
role of former Attorney
General John Mitchell during
the 1972 Presidential campaign
and Watergate, Carter states,
"The Attorney General and all
his or her assistants should be
barred from all political ac-
tivity." He would also grant the
Attorney General those powers
allotted temporarily to the
Special Prosecutor during the
Watergate scandals. Ford, on
the other hand, would support

refreshments may be served,
including punch and beer,
although refreshments are not
necessary. Next February, BSA
will sponsor a TGIF with a folk
singer providing the music and
Emory and Tech providing the
fellowship. If you know of a
group or singer who is new,
many times they will perform
free or at a minimal charge just
to get the exposure. Also, if
money is needed by your club
to sponsor a TGIF, BSA is willing
to lend the money to you with
the agreement that the money
will be paid back out of the
donations you receive at the
social.

The Board of Student Ac-
tivities also regulates the use of
alcohol on the campus. If
anything is being planned that
involves alcohol, a request
must be made to the Board,
who will then consider each
application on how it will affect
the campus. Whenever beer is
served at a function, the activity
must be open to the entire
campus, not just to one club.

Aside from movies and mix-
ers, BSA will sponsor practical
courses. They are planning a
four-part series on
"Automotive Breakdown

the creation of a permanent
special prosecutor's office to
handle any criminal charges
against top government of-
ficials. This special prosecutor
would be appointed by the
President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, for a
three-year term and could be
removed "only for ex-
traordinary improprieties."

Carter would support an "...
all-inclusive 'Sunshine Law'....
Meetings of federal boards,
commissions, and regulatory
agencies must be opened to
the public, along with those of
congressional committees." If
elected, Carter has promised to
"... propose to the Congress
that the members of my
Cabinet appear regularly
before both Houses, preferably
in joint session, to answer ques-
tions from senators and
representatives. I will also re-
quest that these sessions be
available for live broadcast."
President Ford says that he
agrees with the basic
philosophy of the Sunshine Bill.
"But I think there has to be
some safeguard where you're
discussing classified in-
formation that involves our
national security."

The Governor also expresses
his concern with special
interest lobbying practices.
"The activities of lobbyists must
be more thoroughly revealed
and controlled, both within
Congress and the Executive
Department agencies. The new
lobbying law should apply to

those executive agencies and
departments which are not
now covered as well as to the
Congress..." The Department
of Justice in testimony in 1975
stated that it "supports an im-
proved, strengthened and
clarified lobbying law."

Both candidates have
released audits of their
personal finances, and Carter
proposes to do so annually
throughout his term of office.
He would also extend dis-
closure requirements "to the
Vice President and to those ap-
pointed to major policy-mak-
ing positions, while seeking
legislation to make such dis-
closure mandatory." Governor
Carter also calls for legislation
to restrict the employment of
any member of a regulatory
agency by the industry being
regulated.

Ford has had reservations
about the campaign finance
reforms of the post-Watergate
period, and has stated his op-
position to public financing of
congressional campaigns,
which candidate Jimmy Carter
supports.

approves
budget

At the Rep meeting of Oct. 5,
treasurer Betty Phillips
presented this year's budget.
The complete list of
organizations and their
allotment can be found in the
mail room. The budget was dis-
cussed, voted on and passed
unanimously.

Vice-president Debbie Smith
will be attending a meeting of
the Study Committee on Young
Adult Involvement at Emory on
Oct. 13 at 3:00 p.m. If you
would like to have her
represent your feelings on the
involvement or non-in-
volvement of young adults in
politics, contact Debbie and
express your opinion.

Converse College invited
Agnes Scott to be a member of
the steering committee for its
newly formed Women's Coun-
cil of southeastern colleges.
The meeting of the steering
committee coincides with
Black Cat weekend, so it is
likely that ASC will have to pass
up this opportunity. On Nov. 6,
representatives of all the
institutions involved in the
council will meet at Converse.
The purpose of this
organization is to discuss the
problems and needs of
women's colleges in the
southeast.

back to
nature

by Cindy Peters

Mathis Dairy Farm was the
beautiful setting for the Chris-
tian Association Board's annual
fall retreat on September 25.

Along with our advisor, Mrs.
Sheats. members of the Board
enjoyed a wonderful day which
included a great Bible study, a
delicious lunch provided by
the Dining Hall, business and
fellowship by the edge of a
lake. We shared crumbs from
our lunches with some very in-
sistent, noisy geese who
provided the background
"music" for the day.

The Board focused on the
theme of reconciliation and
encouraging unity among
ourselves and among the
students on campus.

There will be many service
projects this year for all
students to become involved in
and we were reminded to
watch the bulleting boards for
announcements concerning
these opportunities.

We all enjoyed the day and
returned to campus that
afternoon renewed, refreshed
and ready for this new school
year.

the air was rather blue for a

"The point of this little story
is to show you the paternal con-

During the above accident no
one paid the least attention to

turned as one man to see
whether poor Miss Elliott had
survived the verbal onslaught."

A Black Cat tale

Scotties eagerly await festivities

by Anicia Lane
Scene: 2nd floor dorm
bathroom. Four Scotties at
respective sinks.

Time: Monday morning
before Black Cat.

Dramatis Personae: Aggie, a
sophisticated sophomore;
Baggie, a bleery-eyed Senior; J.
R., a jaunting junior and Golli
Gee, a wide-eyed freshman.

Aggie: (with face buried in
washcloth) What did you say
your class mascot was again,
Golli Gee? I know you told me
before but I keep forgetting.

Golli: I didn't tell you before
and I'm not tellingyou now, silly.
Its a secret till the night of the
bonfire!

J. R.: Oh, Golli, you'll love all
the Black Cat festivities the
spirit contests, the class songs

Baggie: the screaming at the
top of your lungs

J. R.: the apple cider, the
pumpkins

Aggie: I'm on the hockey
team, so you all better come and
cheer us on.

Golli: Gosh! I'd love to.
When?

Aggie: Friday, the 15th at 3:15.
Then at 5:30 is the Black Cat pic-
nic.

J. R.: And at 7:30 that night in
Gaines is the famous Jr. class
production spoof on life at
Agnes Scott. Plays to standing
room only every year.

Baggie: (wistfully, as she sighs
into her washcloth, blowing
soapsuds) . . . remember the
Black Cat production last year
when they spoofed good ol' Dr.
Whatshisname? - I laughed til I
died! Then there was two years

ago when. . .

Aggie: Don't go back in an-
cient history; your memory bank
can't take the overload.

Jr. R.: There's something new
this year; a trip to Grant Park
softball, volleyball, a picnic lun-
ch, the Grant Park Zoo and the
Cyclorama. All on Saturday, the
16th from 11 am til 4 pm. Get in
touch with Sylvia Foster if you're
i nterested and need
transportation. Her box number
is 190.

Golli: I will! Sounds like fun.
By the way, are ya'll going to the
Black Cat Dance at the Hilton on
Saturday night?

Baggie: (wringing her
washcloth) Who me? Are you
kidding? I haven't been to a
Black Cat Dance since my
freshman year!

J. R.: (aside, to Golli) That's
because she hasn't been asked
since.

Baggie: I heard that! It just so
happens I have a Very Important
Date Saturday night.

J. R.: Yeah, with a black and
white TV and "Saturday Night

Live".

Aggie: Are you going, Golli
Gee?

Golli: Sure I am! I woudln't
miss it for the world! I met the
cutest guy over at Tech who's
taking me and I've had my dress
for weeks and all I need to do

Baggie: Collapse on Sun-
day. Bah Humbug.

Aggie: I heard through the
grapevine that the dining hall is
planning a "Surprise Theme"
lunch for Sunday to wind up
Black Cat festivities!

Baggie: The excitement and
suspense will kill me.

J. R.: (If old age doesn't grab
you first).

Golli: Gee, I hope none of us
has an 8:30 class.

Baggie: I do, Why?

Golli: Because as of now
you're half an hour late for it, you
turkey!

Curtain Falls as J. R., Aggie, and
Gollie carry Baggie offstage
mumbling incoherently "I can't
win for losing around here!"

Presidential candidates
on the issues

G-pirg investigates
WIC federal program

(Editor's Note: The third
article in a series of five dealing
with the candidates' stands on
the issues, the following article
examines the positions of Carter
and Ford on the issues of taxes
and energy and environment.)

Taxes

President Ford's proposed tax
program has three basic objec-
tives: "greater equity, greater
simplification, and lower taxes."
As the President explains, "A ma-
jor objective should be to sim-
plify the tax system as well as
make it more equitable. My ad-
ministration's objectives are
threefold greater equity,
greater simplification, and lower
taxes. My program also included
$10 billion of further tax reduc-
tions. Benefits are directed
toward middle and lower in-
come tax payers and incentives
for creation of new jobs by
business. These cuts would be
linked to comparable cuts in
federal spending."

Carter's tax policies do not
stress lower taxes, but emphasize
"a drasticsimplification of the in-
come tax system that would

lower taxes on middle and low
income families." Carter favors
"a simple structure with all in-
come treated the same, with in-
come being taxed only once,
with a truly progressive tax rate
so that those who made the
most. . .paid the higher percen-
tage in total taxes." One
provision of the candidate's
proposed program "would be to
tax capitol income and earned
income in the same way."

Both candidates favor taxing
income only once [a reference to
the double taxing of corporate
dividends]. To encourage
investment, the President has
proposed a phased integration
of the corporate and individual
income tax which would even-
tually eliminate the double tax
burden now imposed on
corporate dividends. Carter says
he "would want to reconstitute a
progressive tax rate." Ford
proposes a "tax deduction
directed at business in a way that
creates more jobs. The tax cuts
that I propose, including a
permanent increase in the
investment tax credit (10%) and a
2% reduction in the corporate
tax rate, are specifically designed

to increase employment." While
he backs the present credit on
United States taxes given to
American corporations that pay
foreign taxes, candidate Carter
says, "I would not make any
substantive changes in our tax
law, or propose any as President,
until at least a full year of very
careful analysis."

Both candidates have ex-
pressed opinions about the
Social Secutiry tax problem. "To
solve the current problems of
the Social Security system. . .,"
says Jimmy Carter, "I would
prefer a more progressive plan to
increase gradually the maximum
amount of earnings subject to
the social security tax." Carter

believes that the contribution
rate increase proposed by
President Ford puts an even
greater burden on the wage
earner. The president called for
"a 0.3% increase in both em-
ployer and employee Social
Security taxes effective January 1,
1977."

by Claudia Elmore
The Agnes Scott chapter of the
Georgia Public Interest Research
Group (G-PIRG) has already
begun an active year. Four of its
members recently participated
in the state meeting held at Berry
College. Some of the projects
discussed were Trotters Shoals
Dam and Rock Mountain, the
proposed site for a peak power
plant. Of course, the entire
weekend was not devoted stric-
tly to business. Other activities
included a Chinese dinner, a
pillow fight, a hike to the top of
Rock Mountain to watch the
early morning mist roll away.

The first program to go into
effect on campus will be Women
and Infant Care (WIC). This is a
federally funded program
providing food for needy
pregnant women and infants up
to five months of age. Un-
fortunately, Georgia is not utiliz-
ing these funds effectively and is
in danger of losing them. Agnes
Scott students are going to work
through agencies such as
Hunger Coalition to find out why
these funds are not being used
and what measures need to be
taken to correct this problem.
The information gathered
through this project will be
helpful in compiling a handbook

concerning women and the law.
This handbook will be pub-
lished by the end of this year
and will contain such pertinent
topics as women's health
services, employment, marriage
and divorce, and finances.

Later in the year there will be a
convention at which G-PIRG's
Landlord-Tenant Handbook will
be discussed and presented to
each Agnes Scott student. The
main objective of this book as
stated in the introduction is "to
inform Georgia tenants of where
they stand in relationship to the
landlord, the law, and the fellow-
tenant..." This book should be
helpful when one starts
apartment hunting.

G-PIRG hopesalsoto presenta
discussion evening concerning
nuclear energy. The guest
speaker, Ms. Helen Mills, is
reputed to be a fascinating
speaker and has had a great
amount of influence on the
present energy policies of Jimmy
Carter. More will be said about
this program at a later date.

G-PIRG would appreciate
some more active members.
Come and get involved in your
school, community, and state af-
fairs! Meetings are held weekly
in the Hub on Thursday nights at

Editorial

Hail, Guarnerius!

On Tuesday night, Oct. 19, at 8:15 p.m. in Gaines Chapel, the
Guarneri String Quartet will bring its exceptional music to Agnes
Scott College once again. Unfortunately, the hall will probably be
filled to capacity but not with Agnes Scott students. At the three
previous performances that the Guarneri has given here, this lack of
interest shown by the student body has been embarrassing. While
the musically knowledgeable people from all over the southeast
recognize and take advantage of this opportunity, the students have
stayed away in droves.

There are two ways of approaching this problem. First, that it is
silly tospenda large amount of money on a performance that Agnes
Scott students don't seem inclined to attend. Apparently a number
of people feel that the Guarneri's fee could be put to better use, for
they have suggested that the quartet not be asked back next year.

The other side of the matter is this: if the student body was made
fully aware of what the quartet's appearance at Agnes Scott is worth,
would attendance still be so poor? The purpose of this editorial is to
attempt to make clear the value of the Guarneri's presence here.

The Guarneri Quartet may be a name which is unfamiliarto Scott
students, and in this day of mass media many people take the at-
titude that, "If I haven't heard of them, they can't be any good." This
could not be less true than in the case of the Guarneri Quartet.
Many people haven't heard of Guarneri violins either, but that
doesn't prevent some of them from being valued at $300,000 or
more. Recordings by the Guarneri have won many international
awards, including five Grammys.

In New York, tickets to performances by the Guarneri areas-hard
to come by as Elton John tickets. Their upcoming performances at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art were sold out literally months in
advance, they are the only artists in the Museum'sdistinguished lec-
ture/concert series that can make this claim. While in New York one
has difficulty even in buying a $25.00 ticket for a Guaneri
performance, we at ASC can see them for free, if we'll only bother
to walk to Gaines.

Stylistically, the Guarneri is a crowd-pleaser many students
here would probably discover that classical music in the hands of
the Guarneri fits none of the sour stereotypes so often applied to
such music by its detractors. The Guarneri plays with sophistication
and vitality, there is no trace of stuffiness in either their music or
their manner. The works they will perform in this year's concert
represent a wide range of musical style. From Beethoven's roman-
ticism (he is their favorite composer) to the twentieth-century
sounds of Igor Stravinsky, the Guarneri produces music of outstan-
ding calibre. They have been acclaimed throughout the world for
their blend of vivacious interplay and musical balance, which is the
goal of string quartet playing.

Obviously, schools cannot plan their existence around such
special performances, but professors are encouraged to take the
value of attending such an event into mind when scheduling papers
and tests. Studying must go on, but in this case the experience is well
worth planning ahead for in your studying.

Any student who doesn't come to the performance of the
Guarneri String Quartet will not be hurting anyone other than
themselves, but they will be doing that individual a great disservice.

The following announcement

Julia's Child

by Julia Midkiff

Black Cat! To the outside
world these two words suggest
mystery, magic, superstition, wit-
ches and bubbling cauldrons,
but to the Agnes Scott student
the words suggest class rivalry, a
special weekend, secrecy, ex-
citement and a respite from
homework.

But perhaps the best definition
of Black Cat is a time when every
student on campus expresses a
sincere love for her fellow
students, her professors and her
college. Practical jokes are
played on freshmen by
sophomores and on sophomores
by freshmen, upperclassmen
come to the aid of their sister
classes and experience
retaliation, the faculty and staff
members see themselves
imitated and laughed at, and
every Agnes Scott tradition is
parodied, but all this is done in a
spirit of good-natured com-
panionship, and no one is in-

sulted or angered.

A professor once said that dur-
ing his first months at Agnes
Scott College he thought all the
students were serious,
dedicated, sophisticated
scholars, then he saw his first
Black Cat production, and he
knew what Agnes Scott students
really are. This weekend we shall
let our hair down and do things
we do not normally do, and say
things we do not normally say.
And if one looks closely at the
bonfire, the games and the
production, one will see what
Black Cat is really all about.

Black Cat is a moment in time
in which we show freshmen that
we are proud of Agnes Scott, its
people and the things it stands
for, and that we are proud of
them for having the intelligence
and the sensitivity to choose
Agnes Scott as their college. It is a
time when we say, "Welcome
home, freshmen."

was distributed to the campus
through the mail, but is repeated
here for your convenience: BSA
and Music Club, recognizing the
problems of finding
transportation to off-campus
events, have consolidated their
efforts towards solving this
problem and have produced
"Wheelin 'n Dealin". If you are
driving to a concert, recital, the
symphony, or any type of music
program, go to the "Wheelin 'n
Dealin" section of the Arts
Council bulletin board. Take one
of the cards provided, and post a
note to this effect: "I am going to
see The Beach Boys, Friday Oc-
tober 8. Anyone needing a ride
contact. . ." Please only post a
note if you are giving rides, and
not if you need one.

For symphony lovers, the
Music Club is providing the
college Mini-bus for
transportation on any Saturday
(not Thursday) evening. The bus
will leave Agnes Scott in time to
purchase student tickets,
generally $3-4. There will be a
sign-up sheet beside the
symphony schedule, with the ap-
pointed time and place of
departure. If you are interested,
please sign up by Friday
afternoons. For those who are
interested in ushering, in-
formation will be posted.

Black Cat Festivities continue
through Sunday. The schedule
for Friday afternoon is, 3:30
games on the hockey field,5:30 -
picnic on the hockey field, 7:30 -
Black Cat production in Gaines,
followed by a party in the Quad.
Saturday everyone is invited to
take a holiday in Grant Park. If
you have a car, please let people
have a ride to the park. Saturday
night from 9:00-1:00, the Black
Cat dance will be held in the
Atlanta Hilton hotel. Sunday at
noon there will be a picnic in the

An exhibition entitled ". . . Remember the Ladies . . . Women in
America: 1750-1815" opens at the High Museum of Art October 16.
This exhibition, organized by Conover Hunt and historian Linda
Grant De Pauw, gathers together portraits, furniture, jewelry,
needlework, silverware, costumes, implements, and manuscripts to
provide an overview of the American woman of the Revolutionary
period. The exhibition highlights women participating in war,
education, politics, art, and child rearing. "... Remember the
Ladies ..." is supported by grants from Philip Morris, Inc., Clairol,
the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment
for the Humanities.

A multi-media art exhibition titled "Without Words" will open at
Colony Square beginning October 17. The non-profit show, open
to the public from noon until 7 p.m., will be held on the ground
floor of the Colony House Condominiums at the 15th Street side of
Colony Square. Organized by Atlanta artist Maurice Clifford, the
exhibition will feature works of some fifty present or former Atlanta
artists and will include prints, paintings, sculpture, architecture,
video and conceptual art, and performance pieces. The event is
funded by the Atlanta Bureau of Cultural and International Affairs.

A special Bicentennial showing of the Arm and Hammer Collec-
tion of Birds of Prey paintings by Louis Agassiz Euertes (1874-1927)
will be on exhibition at Fernbank Science Center October 19-24. For
additional information on this special exhibit, call 378-4311.

Handshake Gallery at Peachtree Summit, 401 West Peachtree
N.E., is currently exhibiting "Bicentennial A Black Perspective"
through November 3. The exhibition includes over fifty examples of
sculpture, painting/drawing, applique, and jewelry by members of
Black Artists of Atlanta. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. For more in-
formation, call 525-4728.

The Guarneri String Quartet is
possibly the most popular string
quartet in the world. The ex-
citement and the expertise of
each of the members of the
group come across immediately
as the first note is played in one
of their concerts. With the
unbelievable number of in-
vitations the Quartet receives
from everywhere in the world, it
is not surprising at all to hear
their concerts are sellouts. The
Quartet's tours take them to
places which include Canada,
Australia, many parts of Europe,
and also back home to America
and particularly to New York,
where tickets to their
performances are hard to come
by, even when they sell for $25.00
per ticket! Along with their
touring, the Quartet also turns
out three or four best-selling
albums each year.

Arnold Steinhardt and John
Dalley play the violins in the
Quartet. Michael Tree plays the
viola and David Soyer plays the
cello. Of course, to keep
themselves on "their toes", they

enjoy switching instruments with
each other at times. They have
no leader in their group and
prefer not having one person
that the rest of the group must
follow when giving a concert.
Before the Guarneri String
Quartet was formed in 1965,
each of the four members was
successful in his own right, all
working from a young age as
concert soloists.

Also adding excitement and
elegance to this award-winning
ensemble is the fact that the
violin Arnold Steinhardt plays
was made in 1728 by Joseph
Guarneri, a member of the
famous Italian family of violin-
makers, after which the Quartet
is named. The cello played by
David Soyer was made in 1669 by
Andrea Guarneri.

Since the individual talents of
this quartet blend together in
musical form so well, the average
listener does not realize that the
members of the group actually
compete against each other to
see who will play the most
beautifully, Steinhardt revealed

in a Newsweek article. Members
of the group also say that they
give and take a lot of criticism
from each other concerning
their playing during practices.

The quartet performs only
once a year in Georgia and, if you
have not already heard the sen-
sational news, Agnes Scott has
arranged, for the fourth
consecutive year, to have the
Guarneri Strong Quartet
perform right on campus in
Presser Hall. The concert begins
at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, October
19. It is free and the public is in-
vited. No tickets will be given out
for seats. In the past, Presser has
been filled to capacity, so come
early and please don't miss this
priceless chance to see the
Guarneri String Quartet.

The Guarneri String Quartet's
concert program at ASC will in-
clude Beethoven's "Quartet in C
minor, Op. 18, No. 4,"
Stravinsky's "Concertino," Hugo
Wolf's ''Italian Serenade"
and Schubert's "Quartet in G
Major, Op. 161."

Arts celebration

Energy and Environment

While President Ford states,
"We must regain our energy
independence," Jimmy Carter
has called "Project
Independence" a "joke." Says
Carter, "the mishandling of the
energy problem is a primary
cause of the current economic
crisis. We are the only civilized
nation on earth without an
energy policy. This negligence is
a crime against the American
people." Ford's proposals to
regain energy independence are
based on these assertions: . .
unless we stimulate more U.S.
production of oil and natural gas,
and unless we utilize our vast
resources of coal, unless we ex-
pedite the construction and
installation of more nuclear
powerplants, unless we more
rapidly develop some of our ex-
otic fuels, our dependence on
foreign oil will go up, up, up,
which means that we are more
dependent not only on the
amount of foreign oil, but the
price they charge us."

While the Ford Ad-
ministration's proposed fiscal
year 1977 energy budget calls for
heavy spending on nuclear
power ($3.5 billion), Democratic
candidate Jimmy Carter stresses
caution. "U.S. dependence on
nuclear power should be kept to
the minimum necessary to meet
our needs. We should apply
much stronger safety standards
as we regulate its use. And we
must be honest with our people
concerning its problems and
dangers," he says. Carter is
concerned with the prospect of
nuclear proliferation. "Beyond
these dangers, there is the
fearsome prospect that the
spread of nuclear reactors will
mean the spread of nuclear
weapons to many nations. What
we must prevent. . . is the sale of
small pilot reprocessing plants
which sell for only a few million
dollars, have no commercial use
at present, and can only spread
nuclear explosives around the
world." President Ford calls for
experimentation and ex-
ploration of nuclear power.

"Greater utilization must be
made of nuclear energy in order
to achieve energy independence
and maintain a strong
economy," hesays. "It is likewise
vital that we continue our world
leadership as a reliable supplier
of nuclear technology in order to
assure that worldwide growth in
nuclear power is achieved with
responsible and effective con-
trols."

In the search for alternate
energy sources, both candidates
urge a shift toward coal. "A ma-
jor immediate need is to derive
maximum energy from coal,"
Carter says, "while preserving
environmental quality. . . Power
companies and industries must
shift to thissourceof energy, and
we must invest in improved min-
ing efficiency, cleaner com-
bustion technology, and x better
transportation system for mov-
ing coal to its end users. I would

(cont. from pg. 1)

shift toward coal as quickly as I
could, using government in-
ducements if necessary. I would
increase dramatically the
amount of research and
development funds that go into
solar energy." President Ford's
statement on the use of
coal:"Coal must be used in-
creasingly as an alternative to
scarce, expensive or insecure oil
and natural gas supplies. We
must act ... so that production
can grow . . ."

The candidates are at odds
over the costsand benefits of en-
vironmental protection. Ford's
1977 budget would cut ap-
propriations for the con-
troversial Environmental Protec-
tion Agency to $718 million - $53
million less than Congress ap-
propriated for 1976
Republican Ford is concerned
with the economic factors in-
volved in environmental protec-
tion. "If accomplishing every
worthy environmental objective
would slow down our effort to
regain energy independence
and a stronger economy, then of
necessity I must weigh all factors
involved," he says. On the other
hand, Carter asserts, "We should
not be diverted from our cause
by false claims that the protec-
tion of our ecology and wildlife
means an end to growth and
decline in jobs. This is not the
case. Whenever there is a con-
flict between development and
environmental quality, if it can
be resolved, I will be for the pro-
ject; when it can't, I would go
with the environment."

Carter says he would "support
the need for better land use
planning." Concerning federal
legislation in the area of land use,
Ford said, "I am opposed to it,
period. I think the state and local
units of government can make
better decisions as to land use . . .
than the federal government
can."

Carter, a nuclear engineer
himself, is particularly
concerned with nuclear en-
vironmental effects. He says,
"We must maintain the strictest
possible safety. . . Nuclear reac-
tors should be located below
ground level. Power plants
should be housed in sealed
buildings within which heavy
vacuums are permanently main-
tained. Plants should be located
in sparsely populated areas but
only after consultation with state
and local officials. Designs
should be standardized. A full-
time federal employee with full
authority to shut down the plant
in case of any operational ab-
normality should always be
present in control rooms. Unless
we conserve energy drastically,
make a major shift to coal, and
substantially increase our use of
solar energy, we will have no
alternative to greatly increase
dependence on nuclear power.
As one who is intimately familiar
with the problems and potential
of nuclear energy, I believe we
must make every effort to keep
that dependence to a
minimum."

The Ford campaign literature
and statements have been much
less specific on the issue of
nuclear environmental effects.
The President Ford Committee
handout states that "President
Ford is committed to finding new
sources of energy and feels the
use of nuclear power must be
developed rapidly." Under
Ford's 1977 budget, the Energy
Research and Development
Agency (ERDA) outlays will in-
crease by 30%.

Seniors to be invested Oct. 30

The weekend of October 30-
31 will hold special significance
for the class of 1977 as their
senior status is officially
recognized. The investiture
ceremony will begin Saturday
morning at 10:00 in Gaines
Chapel.

Curriculum committee hear views
from CAP on internships

Two memxers of the Com-
mittee on Academic Problems
(CAP) met before the
Curriculum Committee earlier
this month to discuss student
interest in internships.

Sandra Saseen and Elizabeth
Wells told the committee that
there seems to be a good deal of
enthusiasm on campus for
internships. They stated that
many students have a realistic
view of the problems in initiating
internships, but are readytosup-
port them in an experimental
stage.

In May. 1976, the results of a
questionnaire on internships
were released by CAP (75-76))
and published in the Profile. Out

Rep
reports

At the Rep meeting of Oc-
tober 19, vice-president Debbie
Smith reported on the meeting
of the Study Committee on
Young Adult Involvement at
Emory. Emory, Kennesaw Junior
College, Emory at Oxford, and
Agnes Scott were represented.
The committee discussed the
problems of young adults'
disinterest or disappointments
with current politics. Sugges-
tions from the representatives
were heard. For any specific
questions, see Debbie Smith.

SGA committee reports were
also presented. G-pirg an-
nounced the completion of the
Landlord-Tenant handbooks.
There will be a joint chapel of
BSA and G-pirg to go over the
handbooks. Lecture Committee
announced two new members:
Sandy Fowler and Judy
Bartholomew. CAP, the Com-
mittee on Academic Problems,
invited all interested students to
attend their meetings, Tuesday at
4:10 p.m. in the Conference
Room in Main. They also en-
couraged students to make us of
the complaint box in the dining
hall.

of the 157 students (28% of the
student body), 80% of the
students responding said they
would be interested in
participating in some kind of
internship-type program.

When questioned by the
Curriculum Committee about
receiving credit for various
programs, the CAP represen-
tatives replied that credit would
be desirable but not imperative.

The possibility of summer
internships as an expansion of
career planning with none or
partial credit given was dis-

cussed. In reference to the ques-
tionnaire concerning types of
program, the 152 students res-
ponded with 94 for full-time,
summer programs; 82 for field
work as part of an ASC work, and
91 for a full-time quarter
program in place of ASC course
work, with over two-thirds
preferring a program in the
Atlanta area.

The CAP representatives said
they were aware of the fact that
each internship program would
have to undergo careful scrutiny
to insure its validity.

During the capping ceremony,
an old tradition at Scott, the
seniors pass through the
sophomore honor guard and
stand before Dean Gary as she
places the cap on each senior's
head. This capping symbolizes
the recognition of their rights
and privileges as seniors. This
year's senior class has chosen Dr.
W. E. McNair to speak at the
investiture service.

After the ceremony in Gaines,
the seniors' families and friends
and members of the faculty are
invted to coffee on the terrace
floor of Winship.

Sunday morning, from 8:30-
9:15, President and Mrs. Perry
will host a breakfast in the dining
hall for the seniors and their
parents. At 11 :00, Dr. Fifield, Pas-
tor Emeritus of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Atlanta, will
hold a worship service in Gaines.
Traditionally, the organist for the
Sunday worship service is a
member of the senior class. This
year, the organist will be Susan
Pirkle.

Dr. McNair has taught at
Agnes Scott since 1952. He
received his B.A. from Davison
College and his M.A. and Ph.D.
from Emory University. Dr.
McNair is a member of the Phi

Beta Kappa, and is very involved
in the Druid Hills Presbyterian
Church. He has been a member
of the Permanent Nominating
Committee, General Assembly,
Presbyterian Church, U.S. and
recently served as a member of
the Presbytery's Council. Dr.
McNair has published several
articles such as, "What the
College Expects of the High
School Student" and ''The
Lifeline to Greatness". Mr.
McNair is the Director of Public
Relations and an Associate
Professor here at Scott.

The Rev. Harry A. Fifield ob-
tained his B.A. from the
University of Florida and his
Th.B. from Princeton
Theological Seminary. Dr. Fifield
was awarded the D. D. degree by
Hampden-Sydney College and
the L. H. by Ogelthorpe
University. He is at present a
member of the General Ex-
ecutive Board of the Board of the
Presbyterian Church in the U.S.
Dr. Fifield's sermons have been
broadcast each Sunday morning
over WSB radio, in the oldest
religious broadcast in America.
Rev. Fifield is on the Board of
Trustees of Agnes Scott College
and Columbia Theological
Seminary.

Presidential candidates on the issues

(Editor's Note: The fourth in
a series of five, the following
article examines the positions
of Carter and Ford on the issues
of discrimination and income
support and health care.
Discrimination

A key issue in the campaign is
busing. Jimmy Carter, the
democrat nominee, states his
position: "Mandatory busing,
no. Voluntary transfers, yes. I
do see a need, however, which
I would honor, for the
President to support the
federal courts. And if the courts
should rule differently from my
own personal beliefs, of course
I would support the federal
courts. I do not favor a
constitutional amendment to
prohibit busing." He goes on to
say, "This well-intentioned
idea [busing] has contributed
little to the equalization of
education opportunity, has
often resulted in a decrease
level of integration over the
long term, and has divided and
sidetracked our efforts toward
improving education for all
children." President Ford's
busing policies differ only
slightly. He says, ". . .1 do not
believe that court-ordered,
forced busing to achieve racial

balance is the right way to get
quality education. It is my
belief that there is a better way
to improve educational op-
portunities and, at the same
time, to improve the
integration of our society as
guaranteed by the
Constitution. I will, of course,
under the oath of office that I
took, have to enforce the law as
decided by the courts." In June
President Ford sent the School
Desegregation Standards and
Assistance Act of 1976 to
Congress. The legislation
would: provide for busing as a
limited and transitional remedy
with a five-year limit (except for
extraordinary circumstances);
limit desegregation to specific
schools within a system where
discrimination is found rather
than district-wide; create a
National Community and
Education Committee to give
advice and technical assistance
to school districts in the process
of desegregation.

With the problem of equal
employment, the President has
directed the heads of
departments and agencies to
insure that all persons have an
opportunity to compete on a
fair and equal basis for em-

ployment and advancement in
the Federal government (ac-
cording to Ford campaign han-
douts). Jimmy Carter proposes
enabling the ". . .Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Com-
mission to function more effec-
tively and expeditiously in em-
ployment discrimination com-
plaints. Its backlog is a major
problem in enforcing laws
guaranteeing non-dis-
crimination in employment."
Carter continues, "I believe in
insuring that all Americans
should have not only equal op-
portunity, but should also have
compensatory opportunity if,
through my influence or yours,
they have been deprived of the
opportunity of fully using their
talents. The government must. .
eradicate employment dis-
crimination against those older
persons who want to continue
working."

Both candidates have
pledged their support to the
Equal Rights Amendment
(ERA). Carter's statement is as
follows: "I am a strong sup-
porter of the Equal Rights
Amendment. . . In addition we
must assure that (a) laws
prohibiting sex discrimination
in credit, employment, ad-

vancement, education, hous
ing and other endeavors are
strenghthened and strictly en
forced; (b) strong efforts are
made to ^ass federal legislation
and guidelines to eliminate sex
discrimination in health and
disability insurance plans; (c)
social security laws are revised
to eliminate sex-related dis-
criminations; (d) Women have
equal access to health care
systems and voluntary family
planning programs. . ." The
President Ford Committee
states that "President Ford
strongly supports the Equal
Rights Amendment. He has
called for its ratification by the
requisite number of states in
numerous speeches and ad-
dresses. . . The President has
opened and will continue to
open new dorms to women,
and pledges to continue to
eliminate barriers which still
exist for women's full
participation in our society."

Carter's infamous "ethnic
purity" statement brought the
issue of fair housing to the
forefront. The Democrat states,
"1 would not force a racial
integration of a neighborhood

Editorial

Misinformation

Wherever a number of people gather together there will be
rumors, and the larger the number of people, the more distorted
the rumors will become. Agnes Scott is not free of this problem,
despite our protestations of concern for honesty and fairness.
Misinformation is not to anyone's advantage, and when it is
directed at an individual it can be cruel and hurtful.

In order to avoid the trouble and pain caused by such un-
fortunate talk, all Scott students, faculty, and administration should
make a point of discovering the truth in any rumor, and once the
truth has been assertained, to be discreet in passing it on. In many
situations the best policy is simply to mind one's own business and
keep quiet. In a few cases, however, this does not qualify as dis-
cresion but as apathy and non-involvement.

For instance, if a student knows of a situation which needs to be
changed, but has heard something to the effect that "you can't fight
city hall" on this issue, simply sitting on it isn't going to do anyone
any good. What the student should do, rather than giving up
without even looking for a fight, is to approach the person most
likely to havesome factual information, and get the facts from them.
In academic matters, for example the scheduling of a class, students
should approach the professor first of all, and if no help is to be
found there they should proceed to the office of the Dean of the
Faculty. An unfortunate example of student failure in this area is
that Russian is not being offered this year even though there are
quite a few students on campus who would like to take it. The
reason? Scheduling, a problem that might have been worked out if
they had approached the teacher rather than just giving up and
scheduling something else.

When it comes to social problems - i.e. mismatched roomies,
coping with a too-full schedule, etc. - the Dean of Students Office is
the place to go for information and/or aid. Of course, if the
problem involves the violation of a school rule, Honor Court will be
able to help with information, and, if necessary, action. In other
situations, go to the most logical person, or group, but be suretogo
to someone.

News clips

As much as 200,000 tons of
food supplied by the U.S. may be
wasted in Bangladesh this year.
According to a report prepared
by the foreign aid committee of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, the 250,000 tons of
wheat, rice and soybean oil
raised through the Food for
Peace program in 1976 will be
wasted because of inadequate

storage facilities. Already
100,000-200,000 tons have been
lost to mold, insects, and
rodents. The report states
American officials knew or
should have known that substan-
tial amounts of the food would
spoil, but they did not suspend
the shipments until late July.
"Not even the weight of a
bumper crop could check the
inertia of the bureaucratic
process," the report said.

Viking2's mother ship has dis-
covered that Mars' north polar
icecap is made of water-ice and
that water has apparently flowed
on the planet's surface in rivers
and streams. The finding con-
tradicts earlier suspicions that
there is little or no water on the
planet. The discovery also
brought speculation that
primitive life forms, if they have
ever existed on Mars, could be
entombed in ice at the planet's
north pole.

At least ten states have been
suspended from the nationwide
swine flu immunization
programs becuase of deaths oc-
curring after the innoculation.
However, in Georgia and Fulton
County the program is still in full
swing.

The U.S. Government has
banned the artificial colors used
to make marashino cherries red
and licorice and jelly beans
black. The FDA reports that

laboratory tests with dogs
suggest that a food dye called
Red No. 4 may cause urinary
bladder polyps and atrophy of
the adrenal glands. It is believed
the color Carbon Black contains

a cancer-causing by-product.
The Carbon Black ban signals an
end to black jelly beans and
licorice.

Academic
policy

reviewed

by Lynn Wilson
During "Honor Renewal."
Honor Court realized that the
faculty and the student body
have a different idea about the
policy on proofreading papers
submitted for course work at
Agnes Scott. The policy is that
proofreading of one student's
work by another should not be
done unless the professor giving
the assignment makes an excep-
tion.

In proofreading, it is difficult
to distinguish between when
one is catching accidental or
typographical errors and when
one is correcting mistakes. To
put a fellow student in the
awkward position of trying to
define what actually are ac-
cidental or mechanical errors on
a friend's paper is unfair to that
student. A paper, from initial
notes to final typewritten d5py,
should be the product of one
person's efforts, and she should
be graded on her own
knowledge and the job she has
done, not just in covering the
material, but in expressing her
thoughts in proper grammer and
with correct spelling.

There has been some con-
fusion on this subject in the last
few weeks; if mistakes have been
made, that is understandable.
This policy exists because it best
upholds the academic goals and
the integirty of the college and,
simultaneously, is the clearest
and easiest policy for students to >
follow with fairness to all.

Julia's child

The darkness of
the dawn

by Julia Midkiff

Maureen McGovern sang,
' There's got to be a morning
after." This is evidence that
Maureen never pulled an all-
nighter. And whoever said, "The
darkest hour is just before
dawn," obviously never
attended Agnes Scott.

For the Scottie who spends all
night bent feverishly over her
paper, her report, or her oral
presentation, there will be no
tomorrow. At 4 a.m., as she
calculates theamount of caffeine
in ten bottles of Tab, flexes her
cramped and swollen fingers and
wonders how Sheherazade ever
survived, the dazed scholar
knows that her only hope lies in
the (Soviets dropping the
atomic bomb before breakfast.
Or, maybe, miracles, her typing
speed has increased to 500 words
per minute.

And everyone who has ever
p jlled an all-nighter knows that
the darkest hour is dawn. As the
sun rises menacingly over the
d ning hall, the blearly-eyed

student realizes that it is humanly
impossible to write a stunning
conclusion and type a ten-page
paper, plus bibliography, plus
note page, plus title page, before
8:30. It is at dawn that broken-
hearted girls contemplate
throwing themselves off Main's
bell tower, drowning themselves
in the alumnae pond or, horrors
of horrors, turning the work in
late. This last idea is usually dis-
missed as what it is, the product
of an unbalanced mind. After all,
who can afford to lose a third of a
letter grade on a paper written
between the hours of 2 and 6
a.m.?

As midterm approaches with
its abundance of tests and
papers, Scotties begin to stock
their desk drawers with
toothpicks, heap gravel in their
beds in an effort to make them
appear uninviting, make sure
they have plenty of change for
the Coke and snack machines
and as a final preparation, throw
out all their Maureen McGovern
albums and their copies of Op-
timistic Sayings about Dawn.

Talk to you next week . . . au revoir!

Hark! It's the Beatles! No, it's
the Beach Boys! No! It's the
Atlanta Chamber Players who
are causing all the excitement,
and they're presenting their
debut concert here at Scott on
October 26.

Now who, you may ask, are the
Atlanta Chamber Players? Well,
they are a professional ensemble
in residence at Agnes Scott this
year, and their free (catch that,
free!) public concert will be held
at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall,
immediately followed by a
reception to which the audience
is invited.

The Players perform a variety
of both traditional and contem-
porary works. For those in the
audience who lean towards the
traditional, the Baroque com-
position "Trio Sonata in C Ma-
jor" by Johann Quantz and the
"Quartet in G Minor" by Mozart
will be played. The ensemble's
contemporary side of the
program will include Alban
Berg's "Vier Stucke. Opus 5" for
clarinet and piano, Ingolf Dahl's
"Duettino Concertante" for
flute and percussion, and
George Crumb's Vox Balaunae

for amplified flute, amplified
cello, and amplified piano.

Crumb has said that hhs "Vox
Balaenae" (Voice of the Whale")
was inspired by the singing of the"
humpback whale, but whatever
the inspiration, it is a beautiful,
stirring piece of music. To create
a visual mood as well, each of the
performers is required to wear a
black half mask. These masks
represent the powerful,
impersonal forces of nature by
effacing the sense of human pro-
jec tion.

The members of the Atlanta
Chamber Players are flutist
Melanie Cramer. clarinetist
Robert Brown, pianist Paula
Peace, and percussionist Scott
Douglas. along with violinist
Lorentz Ottzen. violist Marian
Kent, and cellist Larry MeMaster
who are also members of the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. All
have backgrounds in chamber
and orchestral music.

The Atlanta Chamber Players
will perform two other concerts
at Agnes Scott this season on
February 7 and May 9. They will
also be performing at other

ASC acquires
Clarke collection

Agnes Scott College has
recently acquired paintings,
prints and drawings by Atlanta
and International artists from the
private collection of Clifford M.
Clarke of Atlanta. Atlanta artists
represented in the collection in-
clude, among others, the late
joel Reeves, who was dean of the
Atlanta College of Art, Ben Shute
of the Atlanta College of Art,

Carley Craig, James Yarbrough,
Joe McKibben, Julian H. Harris
and Joseph Alymda. Among the
international artists represented
are the great French expres-
sionist painter Ronault, who
ranks with Picasso and Matisse,
Kathe Kollwitz, the German ex-
pressionist painter and
printmaker of the 1920's and
Bernard Buffet, a contemporary
French painter and printmaker.

Upon the announcement of
Agnes Scott College's ac-
quisition of the Clifford M.
Clarke selections, Lee Staven,
curator of the Dalton Galleriesat
the college said, "The Clifford
M. Clarke Collection at Agnes
Scott is particularly significant for
the College's art collection in
that it will greatly increase our

representation of local artists as
well as adding to our collection
of international artists."

Staven continued, "The
College was enabled to obtain
this unusually fine collection of
contemporary works through
the generousity of Mr. Clarke,
together with funds from the
College's Mary Keesler Dalton
Art Fund."

The art fund permits Agnes
Scott to acquire art for its
permanent collection, which
was started in 1965 with a gift of
paintings, the Harry L. Dalton
Collection, from Harry L. Dalton
of Charlotte, N.C. Dalton is the
husband of Mary Keesler, an
Agnes Scott alumna for whom
the art purchase fund is named.
The Dalton Galleries at the
College are named for Mr.
Dalton.

The Clifford M. Clarke Collec-
tion will be on display at Agnes
Scott College for the first time

by government action. But I
would not permit dis-
crimination against a family
moving into the
neighborhood. While I do not
believe the government should
mandate a particular ethnic or
economic mix, I have always
favored an open, integrated
society, where false barriers did
not separate person from
person. As President, I would
fight for the iullest im-
plementation of the existing
civil rights and open housing
legislation, just as vigorously as
I did as governor of Georgia."
Ford has pledged to enforce
open housing laws and other
federal statutes that have in-
creased housing opportunities
for blacks and other minorities,
at times drastically changing

the ethnic makeup of urban
neighborhoods. Since becom-
ing President, the legislation
President Ford has signed in-
cludes: Housing and Com-
munity Development Act
which includes a section
prohibiting discrimination on
the basis of sex in housing and
mortgage credit lending (ac-
cording to Ford campaign han-
douts).

hu ome Support and Health
Care

In the area of welfare reform,
Carter proposes "one fairly
uniform. nation-wide
payment, varying according to
cost of living differences
between communities. It
should be funded in substantial
part by the federal government
with strong work and job
incentives for the poor who are
employable and with income
supplementation for the work-
ing poor ... so as to encourage
employment." The President
said he would ask Congress for
authority to reform income as-
sistance programs to make
them more "consistent,
equitable and efficient." The
President will seek authority to
modify those federall assisted
programs for which there is a
means test. All changes would
be subject to Congressional ap-
proval, and the duration of the
authority would be five years.

The current food stamp
wrangle has attracted the atten-
tion of the candidates. Under
the President's proposals, ad-
ministration officials estimated
that nearly 10 million persons
would be dropped from the
program or receive benefit
cuts, but nearly 5 million of the
neediest participants would get
increased benefits. jimmy
Carter states, "There ought to
be one nationwide payment to
meet the basic necessities of
life varying in amount only
to accomodate the cost of
living. . . That would eliminate
the food stamp program. Just
one basic payment would
mean a great deal."

>\id to the elderly has been
discussed by both candidates.
Carter supports a "com-
prehensive, universal national
health care program, with

rom ng. 7)

interim relief until the system is
fully implemented through ex-
pansion of Medicare
coverage." He has also called
for expanded housing
construction for the elderly
under Section 202 of the Hous-
ing Act, and an "active and
aggressive policy to eradicate
employment discrimination
against older people .

Faculty serve on committees

President Ford calls inflation
the "single greatest threat to
the quality of life of older
American ..." The President
recommended that the
Medicare program be
modified to protect the elderly
against catastrophic illness, to
limit the effects of health care
cost inflation and to create
incentives to use hospital and
medical services efficiently and
economically.

The candidates are opposed
on the issue of federal
intervention in child care.
Carter calls for "the enactment
of a comprehensive child
development bill to provide
quality, non-profit child care . .

He continues, "All
Americans suffer from the
present lack of a coherent
national child-care policy.
Over half the women welfare
recipients cite the need to be at
home with their children as the
reason they need such as-
sistance." He stresses his belief
that "parental and local control
over child-care programs is
essential to their success." The
President vetoed the Child
Care Standards Act, calling it a
bill which "would perpetuate
rigid Federal child day care
standards for all the States and
localities in the Nation."

Democrat Jimmy Carter sup-
ports a national health in-
surance program financed by
general tax revenues and em-
ployer-employee shared
payroll taxes which is
universal and mandatory."
Carter says that the system
would be phased in over a four-
year period. His program
differs slightly from the
Kennedy-Corman bill in that it
allows private administration of
a "portion" of the program.
Carter does not say how much
his proposal would cost. He
says that rates for both
institutional care and doctor
fees would be set in advance.
President Ford is opposed to
national health insurance. He
says, "We cannot realistically
afford federally dictated
national health insurance
providing full coverage for all . .
-I do envision the day when we
may use the private health-in-
surance system to offer more
middle-income families high-
quality services at prices they
can afford and shield them also
from catastrophic illnesses."

(next week in the Profile, the
final article in the series will
compare Ford and Carter on
the issues of crime and justice,
and international relations and
national security.)

Students speak out

Taking sides: Ford

by Cheryl Brown
After the candidates had been
selected by their parties and I
had received my voter regis-
tration card from the state, I
began really looking at the two
men, Jimmy Carter and President
Ford.

As I started reading the
different parties' platforms and
proposed policies, suddenly the
Rebublicans and Ford seemed to
have it all together. Because I
had been born and schooled
south of the Mason-Dixon line,
the traditional southern ideas are
very important to me and I
judged both men on these stan-
dards. Imagine my surprise when
a man from Michigan came
closer to my political views than
did a fellow Georgian.

To me the southern views,
which are basically those of any
other section of the country, are
geared more towards individual
rights and freedoms. I think Ford
has made his views on personal
rights very clear. He is against
gun control because then only
the criminal elements of the
nation will have guns, while the
average law-abiding citizens will
stay unarmed and unprotected.
Ford is for the righl-to-work
laws. In the past the South has
always allowed healthy-able
men to work without having to
join the unions, the decision was
up to them whether or not to
belong to one. Ford believes the
decision is still theirs and they
should not be forced to join a
union in order to work.

Presidential candidates
on the issues

(Editor's Note: This week the
Profile presents the fifth and final
article in a series comparing can-
didates Ford and Carter. The in-
formation for the series was
compiled by Common Cause,
and additional information may

Project, Common Cause, 2030 M
St., N.W., Washington, D.C.

been written by Ms. Ginni
Rockwell.)

Crime and justice

Democratic candidate Jimmy
Carter's favorite crime preven-
tion tactic calls for lowering the
number of persons unemployed
in America. He says, "I honestly
believe . . . that one of the best
ways to cut down on crime is to
cut down on unemployment."
He proposes that the federal
government lead the way by
revising "our systems of senten-
cing, eliminating much of the
discretion given to the judges
and probation officers, insuring
greater certainty in sentencing
and confinement, and insuring a
higher percentage of serious
criminals being imprisoned."
Carter also calls for upgraded

rehabilitation programs within
the prisons themselves. Ford plus
his hope of crime prevention on
the example of "positive, swift,
and just punishment." He
believes "certainty of pun-
shment prevents crime." Ford
favors mandatory minimum
sentences in crimes involving
handguns, in serious crimes like
drug trafficking, kidnapping, hi-
jacking, and for repeat offenders
who commit violent crimes.
President Ford favors the death
penalty for the crimes of
sabotage, espionage, treason,
and murder.

Carter favors registration of
hand guns, banning of "Saturday
Night Specials" and prohibition
of gun ownership by anyone
convicted of a crime involving a
gun and by those not mentally
competent. He opposes other
restrictions on manufacture and
possession. Ford is "unalterably
opposed to the registration of
gun owners and the registration
of guns." He favors prohibitions
on the manufacture or sale of
"Saturday Night Special." The

(Cont. on pg. 4)

States' rights - that is a soft spot
for many southerners. The South
fought a war to show how much
they were against a strong
federal government controlling
everything they did. Ford is in
favor of letting the separate
states control most of the local
problems and coming up with
their own solutions. The
President, in keeping with his
stand against the unions and for
peoples' right to work, does not

plan to create government jobs
for the unemployed. He wants to
give federal loans to people wan-
ting to start or enlarge their
private businesses, thus creating
more jobs in the private sector of
the job market. Some people
feel it is the governments' res-
ponsibility to give jobs to the
needy. Think of the costs in-
volved in paying millions of
nponlp to dig holes and fill them

back in again. The taxes for the
employed would go sky high.

I like Ford for many reasons.
First. I agree with L^is policies and
what he wants to do with the
country. Next, I feel that he has
proven himself during the last
few years. He came into office
when the country had lost faith
in the presidency, inflation was
uncontrolable, unemployment
was the highest in years, and
world respect was at its lowest.
Today the United States is getting
back on its feet. Ford will not

compromise when it comes to
our defense budget, foolish bills
passed by Congress, or public
pressure on unpopular
decisions.

The most important
reason why I like Ford is that I am
perfectly comfortable with his
politics. Ford supporters are not
very numerous in Georgia this
year, however, if the South
would take a good look at the
candidates and their stands on
the issues no one would mind a
man from Michigan in the White
House for four more years.

Taking sides: Carter

by Sandra Saseen
Governor Jimmy Carter is an
ambitious, intelligent, and self-
disciplined person who will
provide strong leadership for the
United States if elected
president.

As a man strengthened by his
religious beliefs, Carter will
maintain the dignity of the
presidential office while facing
up to its awesome challenge.

In his presentation to the plat-
form committee of the
democratic party (June 16),
Carter emphasized three themes
- (1) the need for an open, res-
ponsive, honest government, at
home and abroad, (2) the need
to restore a compassionate
government in Washington,
which cares about people and
deals with their problems, and
(3) the need fora streamlined, ef-
ficient government, without the
incredible red tape, duplication
and overlapping of function.

Carter's main concern is that
the government must become
efficient again.

As head of the Democratic
Party, Carter espouses the
agreement that employment is,
and ought to be, a national
policy and a national goal.

If elected president, therefore,
Carter's administration first

priority would be a rapid reduc-
tion of unemployment and the
achievement of full employment
with price stability. Carter
promises to achieve a balanced
budget by 1980.

Public Education is a top
budgetary in Carter's campaign.
Carter favors a separate
Department of Education to con-
solidate scattered functions and
give education a stronger voice
at the federal level. If elected,
Carter would increase federal
share of public education to
eliminate inequalities and
provide teachers with a decent
standard of living.

Carter's first public office was
the chairmanship of a local
school board. In the state senate
he successfully sponsored an
initial overhaul of education
financing. Ten years later during
his term as Governor, a second
even broader reform was
successfully completed.

Environmental issue

According to the Atlanta
Constitution, the environmental
issue is important in the
presidential election, for the
outcome of most of the nation's
conservation problems will
depend on the decisions made
by our next President. In its
recent assessment of the two

candidates, the widely respected
League of Conservation Voters
in Washington gave Carter its top
rating of "outstanding."

Carter has taken a stronger
stand than any other candidate
on conservation. During his four
years as fovernor of Georgia, his
record was exceptional in the
field of environmental protec-
(ion.

Carter says that when he is
elected he would insure that the
Army Corps of Engineers stop
building unnecessary dams and
public works projecb harmful to
the environment.

He would also hold fast against
efforts to lower clean air re-
quirements of the Clean Air Act.
He would encourage the
development of rapid transit
systems and place responsible
limits on strip mining.

If elected president, Jimmy
Carter would not deny people
access to the government at all
levels. In order to keep the
government from gathering too
much power, Carter has
proposed a basic reorganization
of the Federal bureaucracy and
regulation of lobbyists.

Carter's administration will be
an activist one, confidently ready
to lead the people in the up-
coming years.

Editorial

Volkoff explains

Last week's editorial was inspired by the problem of rumours on
this campus. Some of these rumours have centered around Prof.
Vladimir Volkoff, Associate Professor of French and formerly of
Russian.

Prof. Volkoff, in order to "preserve the dignity" of his departure
from Agness Scott, has provided the Profile with the facts on the un-
fortumate circumstance of his dismissal. The Profile staff would like
to thank Prof. Volkoff for the respect he shows the students of this
college in presenting us with the complete information.

The professor's contract for 1976-77 is terminal. He is " not being
offered reappointment on a part-time basis." This is due to the very
small number of Russian students. This is the reason he was given,
but in viewof the fact that he was hired originally as a French profes-
sor (he taught only French from 1966-1970), and that in the past year
there have been students desiring to take Russian 01 (which was not
offered), this reason seems rather weak.

Prof. Volkoff is not tenured because, "At thetime when I became
eligible for tenure (in 1970 according to the then prevailing by-
laws), my family situation was so insecure that Dr. Wallace M.
Alston, then president of this college, felt and I concurred with
him that it would be better for all concerned if I remained, for the
time being, among the non-tenured faculty." When this situation
cleared in 1974, he made the mistake of thinking that his years of
superior service would be of consequence to the new ad-
ministration, and did not request that he be granted official tenure.

Prof. Volkoff has gained the respect of almost all the students,
faculty and administration who have come to know him. As he
states, "At no point was any criticism concerning my teaching,
personality, extra-curricular activities or publications expressed to
me by either President, Dean or Chairman. On the contrary, I
received commendations from all three sources; in fact I was
promoted to Associate Professor a few weeks before being dis-
missed."

M is respect for established authority has prevented him from
appealing this decision. "It is distasteful to me to impose myself on
anyone. Since Agnes Scott does not want me, I shall try to effect as
graceful an exit as I can." It is our hypothesis that Agnes Scott most
emphatically does want Prof. Volkoff, although the administration
may not. The administration may run this college but it is not the
college.

The following is the close of Prof. Volkoff's letter: "lam not bitter,
but I am sad. The colleagues with whom I served, and maybe even
more so, the students whom I tried toserve to the best of my ability,
will always remain very close to my heart. My stay here has con-
vinced me of the intelligence, perceptiveness, unselfishness,
courtesy , of most people I have met, and, if I may say so, of young
American women in particular. I am deeply touched by all the ex-
pressions of sympathy I have been receiving from faculty, students
and staff. Whatever happens to me in the future, I shall always
remember with -gratitude this last quarter of my life spent at Agnes
Scott, and with regret the fact that I was not given the opportunity of
serving it longer."

Dear Editor:

I need your help! I goofed! In
announcing my dear friends that
helped me with Black Cat, I
forgot to recognize my right
hand (wo)man. Ann Huffines
was the master mind behind our
terrific costumes. She smuggled
178 Keystone Cop hats in the in-
firmary and called 10 different
costume companies inquiring
about mustaches for 200 girls.

I'd also like to recognize:
Tina Robertson and Leigh
Jackson for working 18 hours on
our super backdrop despite the
rats in the attic of Presser, and
also for covering themselves
with blue paint in the process of
painting the bobbie sticks with
their hands.

English Taylor and the other
advisors for running the elec-
tions and burning all important
info in the kitchen sinks of
various dorms.

Julia's Child

Lynn Perry for handling the
dues and writing "for deposit
only to the account listed above"
on all the checks.

Lisa DeGrandi & Kemper Hat-
field for a great job of keeping
the spirit up.

Crystal Watkins & Anna Bryan
for songleading and writing our
winning song.

Sharon Maitland for getting
the freshmen together for field

day.

Jill Anderson for cutting out
500 stars**********.

Kaki, Marn & Betsy for guard-
ing our meetings and hiding
song sheets under their shirts.

Mollie Merrick for her phone,
depleting her bank account, and
moral support.

Kelly Murphy for her car
trunk.

Bev Thompson for running the
date committee, (by the way did
you have to get anyone a date?).

Cathy and Sylvia for keeping
me in line.

Junior Class for being such
great big sisters.

Sophomore Class for becom-
ing such good friends.

Freshman Class for having
such a super spirit and helping
Black Cat to become a great
success.

P. S. If there is someone that I
have failed to mention again my
apologies and my love.

Thanks to all,
T. Lancaster

Anthropology comes
to Agnes Scott

by julia Midkiff
The feeding habits of the
Agnes Scott student are being
studied by Professor Artie Choke
of Kale University who has at-
tained a grant from the National
Endowment for the Preservation
of Unusual Eating Practices for
this purpose. A summary of
Professor Choke's observations
follows:

"The Agnes Scott student eats
at the hours of 8:27 a.m., 11:59
a.m., 4:59 p.m. and every half
hour in between. During the
course of the day a student will
sometimes go without food for
as long as an entire hour, but
only if she is in class and the
professor bans Tab bottles from
the room. By the end of this hour
the student seems to be ex-
periencing withdrawal
symptoms. She sits at the edgeof
her seat, fidgets restlessly and
licks her Ifps frequently. If the
class lasts an hour and half she
may be driven to chewing her
finger nails, Lustre-Glo polish
and all. On occasision the
withdrawal pains are so severe
that a student will be too weak to
make it to the basement of But-
trick and will beg sips from
friends in the hall.

"Whereas most students
appear in the dining hall as soon
as the lines open and remain un-
til the tables are cleared, on
Tuesday, Wednesdays and
Thursdays Glee Club members
feed at 5 p.m., leave, and return
at 6:20. One advantage to this
habit is that Glee Club members
are assured of at least two

servings of meat. When the oc-
cassion arises (and if often does),
a Scottie can consume an eight-
course dinner in under three
minutes. Freshmen being
initiated into this rite have been
known to reject the three-
minute meal upon leaving the
dining hall, but most
upperclassmen have perfected
this art.

"Not only are the mechanics
of Agnes Scott eating unique,
but the diet of the species is also
unusual. One concoction gain-
ing popularity is a mixture of All-
Bran, honey and peanut butter.
Rice Krispies are often found
mixed with peanut butter or
substituting for croutons on a
salad which may have as its dres-
sing lemon juice mixed with
Sweet and Low. Any one of these
dishes may be accompanied by a
beverage called "Roach Juice"
or "Ant Poison," which is a blend
of coffee or tea, milk and Sweet
and Low. "Roach Juice" and
"Ant Poison" are always served
on the rocks. A new beverage is
appearing frequently at Letitia's
tables, and that is honey and
lemon in a cup of hot water.

"When not in the dining hall,
students patronize the candy
and drink machines, the college
snack bar, P by C, Wendy's,
Arbv's, Steak and Shake,
Evervbody's, Manuel's and any
24-hour IHOP. The average Scot-
tie consumes daily: 20 Tabs (one
for each waking hour), a dozen
candy bars, one pizza and two
hamburgers or roast-beef
sandwiches. And of course no
Scottie would dream of going to
bed without first making a mid-
nigh raid on Krispy Kreme.

An essay section will be added
to the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board's national tes-
ting program beginning in
December 1977. Grading will be
done by teachers working
through the Educational Testing
Service.

French officials said sixty-one
crates of ancient silverware held
in Marseille during World War II
to prevent seizure by the Nazis
will be returned to Poland.

Officials of Genoa, Italy's
largest port with a population of
nearly a million, have declared
that the city has gone bankrupt.

A new Pollutant Standards
Index has just been adopted for
use in the Atlanta area. The new
index rates air from 0-500, and
cautions that air measured
between 400 and 500 means a
certain danger and "significant
harm" to the human body. The
index is the Federal
government's answer to the
growing problem of every com-
munity having its own index.

These between-meal snacks are
responsible for nearly 3/5 of the
average four-year weight gain
that occurs before graduation."

Professor Choke intends to
come to some conclusion about
the impact of Agnes Scott feed-
ing habits on today's food prices.
As soon as his study is published,
he plans to return to Agnes Scott
College to study one of the
aspects of the eating rites that he
feels warrants special attention;
that aspect is the squeezing of
tea bags.

What's happening Stewart presents recital

Hello to all of you Scotties this week! I hope that ya'll had a
weekend just as wonderful as mine! It was just fantastic, and I found
quite a few tidbits to let ya'll in on . . . so keep your eyes right here to
find out WHAT'S HAPPENING in the fastest growing city in the
South!

The Arts journal, Inc. announces its annual National Poetry
Competition, open to all poets within the continental U.S. Twenty-
five prizes will be awarded, including $100 First Prize. Competition
will be judged by nationally-reknowned poet John Beecher, and the
entry deadline is November 15. For more information and rules,
write: Poetry Editor, The ARTS JOURNAL, 324 Charlotte St.,
Asheville. NC 28801. This is truly an inspiration to all those poetry
writers living on our fair campus, so get out there and write!

And don't forget that "Remember the Ladies. . .," Women in
America: 1750-1815 will be at the High Museum of Art through
November 14. This exhibition gathers together portraits, furniture,
jewelry, needlwork, silverware, costumes, implements, and manus-
cripts to provide an overview of the American woman of the
Revolutionary period. Having been there myself, I can tell you that
this exhibit is simply marvelous!

When it comes to having some really delicious food, please put
Aunt Pittypat's Porch on the top of your list. Friday evening I had the
immense pleasure of having dinner there, and it was just wonderful.
Although it is a little more costly than some of the other unique din-
ing places I have mentioned previously ($10-15), its cuisine is quite
excellent. And along with great food, you can enjoy a truly Southern
atmosphere in downtown Atlanta. Another on my list of fantastic
places to go eat is Victoria Station. Like an old railroad station, VS is
under $10, featuring steaks and seafood. And, believe it or not, there
are Victoria Stations' all over the United States, which puts a star by it
for me . . . 'cause I have been to one in Kansas City, Atlanta, and in
Orlando! yes, they were all really good!

Foi all you music loversout there, don't forget that Billy Joel will be
at Symphony Hall on October 31. Call 873-4181 for further info. And
you will never believe it, but Barry Manilow will be appearing at the
Civic Center on November 12. Tickets are $5.50, 6.50, and 7.50. And
loi lurther info, c all 873-4181 . Eric Clapton / Charlie Daniels Band will
be at the Omni on November 9. The tickets cost the same as for the
Manilow concert, and for further ticket info you can call 522-OMNI.

The Ballet Folklorico of Mexico directed and choreographed by
Amalia Hernandez will be presented at the Fox Theatre on
November 6. It is being sponsored by the Atlanta Music Club, and for
further ticket info call 233-2131. This ballot sounds really spectacular,
and I hope that ya'll can attend.

And for our wonderful holiday of Halloween, I recommend that
you go to the Haunted House done by Z 93. You take Georgia 400
north to the Holcomb Bridge Exit, go right and follow the signs. The
cost is $1.50 and it really sounds like it is worth much more than that.
Delinitely a scary place to go to, but I am not going to miss it for the
world!

Ya'll have a wonderful Halloween, and be sure to have simply
ghostly times at all those neat Halloween parties or Haunted Houses
that you attend! Take care and I'll talk to ya'll next week . . . adios!

Soprano Janet Stewart, voice
instructor at Agnes Scott, will
present a recital on Monday,
November 1 at 8:15 p.m. in
Gaines Chapel.

Mrs. Stewart will sing the
recitative "E Susanna non vien"
and aria "Dove sono" from
Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro;
"Les Nuit d'Ete, Opus 7," seven
poems by Gautier set to music by
Berloiz; and "Marietta's lied"
from Korngold's The Dead City.
Of special interest to those who
enjoy English and American folk
music will be her performance of
"Drink to Me Only with Thine
Eyes," arranged by Roger
Quilter; "Greensleves,"
arranged by Ralph Vaughn
Williams; and "I Bought Me a
Cat," "At the River," and "Ch-
ing-a-Ring-Chaw," arranged by
Aaron Copland. Other numbers
to be performed include four
songs by Hugo Wolf: "In dem

Marathon Man

Schatten meiner hocher,"
"Anakreons Grab," "Bedeckt
mich dem Blumen,' ; and
"Nimmersatte liebe;" and
Schubert's "Der Hirt auf dem
Felsen, Opus 129." Jay Fuller, as-
sistant professor of music at
Agnes Scott, will accompany
Mrs. Stewart on the piano. She
will be assisted in the Schubert
by Robert Brown, clarinet, of the
Atlanta Chamber Players.

This is Mrs. Stewart's second
year at Agnes Scott. A native of
Louisville, Kentucky, she
received her B. M. degree from
Murray State University and her
M. M. degree from the
University of Colorado.
Ironically, Mrs. Stewart saw her
first opera when she was a junior
in college. By the next year she
determined that opera was the
career she wanted. Since then
she has performed major roles in
operas such as Puccini's Madama

Film offers
thrills and intrigue

by Ralee Cates

Marathon Man is, by far, one
of the most thrilling, puzzling,
and exciting films to come out of
Hollywood in ages. Puzzling is
probably the word that best des-
cribes it. We are confronted with
several characters going in
different directions at the same
time with apparently different
motives. As soon as we get one
piece of the puzzle put into
place and think we have it all
figured out, along comes
another to throw us off the track.

The film is extremely violent.
Blood, guts, and gore pervade
the entire show. Without a

doubt, the most painful ex-
perience to the audience occurs
when a sinister dentist performs
a bit of impromptu root canal
work on Dustin Hoffman. Almost
every death in Marathon Man
results from garrotting, stabbing,
or explosion, and none of them
are very attractive. Even this critic
spent a great deal of time peek-
ing between fingers.

The intrigue involves us from
the start, when we see an old
man take a band-aid box out of a
safety deposit box and slip it to
another man (Roy Scheider)
walking down a New York street.
Later we follow the box and
Schieder to a Paris antique

Dance Theatre of
Harlem performs

Dance Theatre of Harlem, the
nation's first black ballet com-
pany, will be performing at the
Atlanta CivicCenter November 5
and 6 at 8 p.m. and November 7
at 3 p.m.

Arthur Mitchell, the director
and founder of Dance Theatre of
Harlem, was the first principle
black dancer in an American
company. He danced with the
New York Ballet at Lincoln
Center until April, 1968. Wanting
to help the black people in some
way, Mitchell left the New York
City Ballet and combined with
Karol Shook, a master at The
Netherlands National Ballet, to
create Dance Theatre of Harlem.
Today the company boasts of a

school with a student body of
1300, year-round employment
for twenty-seven dancers, and
performances that have earned it
international publicity. Besides
the remarkably young age of
most of its dancers, Dance
Theatre of Harlem is unusual in
that its repertory weds the clas-
sical tradition with ethnic dance
styles. The company performs
such works as Balanchini's
neoclassic dance "Agon" and
Geoffrey Holder's "Dougla."

Tickets for the performances
are $4, $6, and $8, with a $1
student discount. For in-
formation about tickets, call 892-
2414.

Rigoletto, and Menotti's The Old
Maid and the Thief. She has
appeared with the Atlanta Opera
Company, the Opera Society of
Washington, the Philadelphia
Lyric Opera, the Denver Lyric
Opera, the Charlotte Opera, and
the Arkansas Opera Theatre. She
has also performed with the
Atlanta, Denver, and Charlotte
symphonies. This past summer
Mrs. Stewart was selected to sing
for master classes in Austria
given by famous singers Christa
Ludwig and Hans Hotter. She will
perform this year with the
Winston-Salem Orchestra in
Haydn's The Creation and with
the Augusta Opera Theatre in
the title role of Floyd's opera
Susanna.

Singing fulfills what Mrs.
Stewart calls "my need to com-
municate." She thinks of it as a
two-way street, "com-
munication with the audience
and their response to you." Her
hope is that her performance "is
acceptable, that it's disciplined,
and that it's beautiful."

dealer. That night Schieder dis-
covers that the dealer has had his
throat slit. Well, so much for the
band-aid box, for now.

The entire plot, after we've
waded through the mangled
mystery and found it, revolves
around an ex-Nazi officer and
the diamonds he collected from
the Jews in concentration camps.
The Nazi, beautifully portrayed
by Oliver, has been using
couriers to transport his
diamonds in the band-aid box.
Schieder was a courier until the
goods disappeared and Olivier
became suspect. Naturally
Schieder couldn't be allowed to
walk away from the situation; he
meets his bloody end by a very
sinister knife up Olivier's sinister
sleeve. Since Schieder can no
longer provide information
about the whereabouts of the
band-aid box, the evil ones must
look for another source. That
other source is Schieder's
brother, played by Hoffman. We
are left to watch Hoffman's
torture, flight, and eventual
revenge.

I wouldn't dare tell you any
more; you'll have to see it for
yourself. I will tell you that, as
usual, Hoffman acts his heart out.
He is pure perfection. Of course
Olivier is delightfully evil, and all
of the others shine.

The entire film is fast-paced
and absolutely thrilling. You'll
leave the theatre with shaky
knees and will probably be
cautious while going around
corners. This is not a film for
weak stomachs; even the strong
may be disturbed by it. You
won't, however, regret a minute
of Marathon Man.

Rep Reports

RC 176

discussed in Rep

President also proposes man-
datory sentences for offenses in-
volving use of a handgun.

Criminal drug traffic has
elicited the following response
from candidate Carter: "I sup-
port stiff penalties for drug
pushers and expanded
rehabilitation programs for drug
addicts." Carter would impose
criminal sentences only on traf-
fickers in marijuana, not on the
occasional user. Carter says any
charge in marijuana laws should
be done by the states; the federal
government should stay out of
the matter. Republican Ford has
sent to Congress a mandatory
sentencing bill for narcotics
dealers. Under this bill,
sentences are three years for a
first offense, six for the second,
with no parole permitted.

Democrat Ellen McCormack's
early pro-life candidacy brought
the dormant issue of abortion to
the fore. Jimmy Carter's much -
sought - after statement on
abortion is as follows: "I think
abortion is wrong. I don't think
government should do anything
to encourage abortion. I think
abortion is the result of a failure
of measures designed to prevent
unwanted pregnancies and to in-
duce the mother to carry the
unwanted child through to
delivery. I think we ought to do
everything to have better
education, family planning, con-
traceptives, if desired. I don't
favor a constitutional
amendment to give to the states
local option on the abortion is-
sue/' President Ford opposes
abortion "on demand" but
believes that it is justified in cases
of rape or where the life of the
woman is at stake. The President
favors a Constitutional
amendment leaving to the states
the task of redefining limits on
abaft Ion.

Both candidates agree that the
federal criminal code should be
revised, but neither supports S.I
(Senate bill on criminal code
revision) in its present entirety,
jimmy Carter explains, "Federal
criminal laws have not been
codified and their development
has been haphazard; an attempt
to reform them is laudable . . .
Unfortunately, the proposed
'Criminal Justice Codification,
Revision, and Reform Act of
1975' goes beyond what is
needed and threatens to disrupt
civil liberties guaranteed by the
Constitution . . . For this reason, I
oppose the bill." Ford finds some
sections of S. 1 "unacceptable."
Mr. Ford has not specified which
portions of the bill he opposes.
International relations and
national security

Mr. Carter has attacked the
Republican foreign policy of the
Nixon-Ford administration, call-
ing it "a one-man policy of
international adventure ... A
foreign policy based on secrecy
inherently has had to be closely
guarded and amoral, and we
have had to forego openness,
consultation and a constant
adherence to fundamental prin-
ciples and high moral standards .
. . In every foreign venture that
has failed whether it was Viet-

(cont. from pg. 1)

nam. Cambodia, Chile or
Angola, or in the excesses of the
CIA our government forged
ahead without consulting the
American people and did things
that were contrary to our basic
character. A stable world order
cannot become a reality when
people of many nations of the
world suffer mass starvation or
when there are no established
arrangements to deal with
population, growth, energv, or
environmental quality." Carter
calls for a re-ordering of foreign
policy priorities: high-level
unilateral negotiations with
communist powers must take
second place to re-establishing
close working relationships with
democratic allies. President Ford
pledges to the American people
"policies which seek a secure,
just, and peaceful world." Ford
says his foreign policy will "keep
our powder dry and not put our
finger on the nuclear trigger."
The President has called the state
of our foreign policy "sound and
strong."

In regard to arms control, Ford
said details of SALT II are still be-
ing negotiated, "and I cannot say
when or even whether this will
be completed." Ford signed a
treaty hailed by the Ad-
ministration as a major break-
through in the SALT
negotiations. The treay provides
limits on underground nuclear
explosions and for reciprocal
inspection by Soviet and
American scientists of each
nation's testing sites Mr. Carter
says that the United States should
"fulfill its decade-old promise to
put its peaceful nuclear facilities
under international safeguards
to demonstrate that we too are
pi ('pared to accept the same
arrangements as the non-
weapon states; call on all nations
of the world to adopt a voluntary
moratorium on the national
purchase or sale of enrichment
or processing plants . . ."

Carter calls for the es-
tablishment of a "World
Development Budget" to
coordinate development
resources contributed by the
United States, Europe, Japan and
the OPEC countries. ". . . all
nations must recognize that the
North-South relationship is not
made easier by one-sided self-
righteousness, by the exercise of
automatic majorities in world
bodies, nor by intolerance for
the views or the very existence of
other nations." President Ford
on developing nations: "I think
the United States should have a
responsible foreign aid program
tor two reasons: One,
humanitarian. We ought to help
people less well off than
ourselves. Americans are
generous, humane and we ought
to help them. Secondly. I think
we ought to in order to help
ourselves in the implementation
and execution of our foreign
policy . . . the United States
should have a meaningful
presence in substantial parts of
Africa. I don't believe we should
stand idly by while the Soviet
Union and Cuba seek control
and dominate significant parts of

Africa."

Carter and Ford are
diametrically opposed on the is-
sue of military spending. Carter
states. "Without endangering
the defense of our nation or our
commitments to our allies, we
can reduce present defense ex-
penditures by $5 to $7 billion an-
nually ... If I become President I
will work with our allies, some of
whom are also selling arms, to in-
crease the emphasis on peace
and to reduce the commerce in
weapons of war." President Ford
has called our military es-
tablishment "second to none"
yet calls for a "record peacetime
defense budget request of $112.7
billion" that represented an in-
crease in real dollars of $7.4
billion. Ford has indicated that
his defense budget request is an
attempt to reverse the trend of
what he calls a declining
capability in defense policy of
the last 10 or 15 years.

Neither of the candidates are
in favor of "relinquishing actual
control of the Panama Canal or
its use to any other nation." as
Jimmy Carter has stated, but
Carter expresses a willingness to
renegotiate payment terms on
the Canel, and Ford has asked for
a continuance of the current
negotiations with Panama. In the
Middle East, the President's
budget calls for $500 million less
military aid to Israel in fiscal 1977
than the $1.5 billion provided
this year. Ford has said that "this
country is dedicated to the
security and survival of the
government of Israel . . ." Carter
says, "We should continue to
supply, in the full amount neces-
sary, economic and military aid
so that Israel can pursue peace
from a position of strength and
power . . ." Mr. Carter does not
favor supplying offensive
weapons to Egypt, and calls for
early movement toward dis-
cussion of an eventual overall
settlement.

In the murky, cloak - and -
dagger world of military
intervention and covert actions,
Mr. Carter states emphatically
that "the CIA must operate
within the law. Intelligence is a
service to allow foreign policy to
be based on more complete in-
formation. The function of the
intelligence agency should be to
provide this service, not to
overthrow governments or make
foreign policy unilaterally or in
secret . . . We must respect the
results of democratic elections
and the right of countries to
make their own free choice if we
are to remain faithful to our own
ideals." Ford asked Congress for
legislation authorizing elec-
tronic surveillance in the U. S. for
foreign intelligence purposes,
upon a judicial warrant. Ford's
Executive Order on Intelligence
Activities prohibits physical
surveillance of U. S. citizens and
resident aliens except for
specific exceptions. The
President also asked Congress to
make it a crime to plan or carry
out an assassination of a foreign
official in peacetime. Mr. Ford's
Executive Order deals with
specific orders.

Agnes Scott College adheres
to a three point (3.0) grade scale
unlike some institutions which
grade on a four point scale.
Those students who maintain a
high quality point ratio may
receive recognition of this feat
by being named on the honor
roll. Students who barely main-
tain a quality point ratio,
however, receive a different type
of recognition by being placed
on the Ineligible List.

The quality point ratio is
determined by multiplying the
number of course hours by the
grade received in that course
and dividing the product by the
total number of hours. This
process is done for every course
and then averaged for the total
quality point ratio.

For example: a sophomore is
taking Chemistry 250, English
211, German 101, and Physics 210
during fall quarter. Her final
grades for the quarter are C, D,
D, and D. Since Chemistry 250
awards five credit hours per

A quality point ratio of .25

placed on the list, she is allowed
to participate in only one
organization, and she is not
permitted to hold a major
elected office in any campus
organization. Sophomores and
freshmen on the Ineligible List
lose their right for voluntary vlass

In order to maintain clas-
sification, sophomores must
have a .5 quality point ratio,

Social council urges more campus-wide participation

Social Council is: a) a
subversive organization plotting
the destruction of the dining
hall, b) an organization of
students dedicated to the prin-.
ciples of life, liberty, and the
happiness of pursuit, c) a mixed-
up conglomeration of Scotties,
or d) all of the above. If you
answered "d) all of the above",
you are absolutely correct. Give
yourself 3 points and read on.

Five representatives from each
class make up Social Council,
whose function it is to present to
the Agnes Scott community such
events as the annual Faculty-
Freshman Tea, movies,
folksingers, and mixers with
Georgia Tech and Emory. In ad-
dition, Social Council sends a
letter of introduction to in-

drug costs

A G-PIRG investigation of
prescription drug prices con-
ducted last spring has revealed
large discrepencies in drug costs
from store to store in the Atlanta-
Decatur area. Price variances of
more than 300 per cent for iden-
tical products were discovered in
the student-conducted survey.
Even greater price differences
were found between brand-
name drugs and their generic
equivalents.

In general, chain stores were
found to have the lowest drug
prices, although many of the
stores lacked the customer
services offered by independent
drugstores. However there were
several independent drugstores
that offered comparably low
prices as well as many customer
services.

The Georgia Public Interest
Research Group has proposed to
the Board of Pharmacy that it
remove its restrictions on drug
advertising in the state as well as
make the posting of the prices of
the most frequently prescribed
drugs mandatory. PIRG believes

coming freshman, organizes the
Black Cat Dance, the Winter
Dance, and Spring Formal, and
(now this year) is planning a
series of "Disco Dances" (the
first of which is Nov. 5 in the din-
ing hall).

Anne Paulin, President of
Social Council, welcomes
comments and suggestions from
all students and invites anyone to
attend Social Council meetings
which are held on Mondays at
5:30 in McKinney Date Parlor.
Apparently, in the past there
have been some misconceptions
about just what Social Council
does for a living, and who is
Social Council. (Not to mention,
why Social Council charged so
much for this year's Black Cat
Dance). Anne Paulin strongly
urges campus-wide participation

that the mandatory posting will
force the price advertising that a
lift on the ban will not by itself
accomplish.

The Board of Pharmacy also
prohibits the substitution of
generic drugs for brand-name
drugs. G-PIRG has suggested to
the Board that this anti-
substitution provision be
replaced by an amended anti-
substitution clause covering only
those drugs not approved as safe
for substitution by the FDA and
the Board of Pharmacy.

The regulation changes are
urgently needed to insure con-
sumers a fair chance when bat-
tling high drug prices. Georgia
shares this problem with 33 other
states which also restrict drug
price advertising a policy
which the American Enterprise
Institute for Public Policy
Research estimates will cost con-
sumers $350 million this year.

Agnes Scott PIRG would like to
thank all those Scott students
who helped in gathering this
sometime hard-to-get in-
formation.

in order that more people have a
voice in what kinds of activities
we have at Agnes Scott. Ques-
tionnaires that have been sent
out to the student body have had
a poor response. Without feed-
back, Social Council has no way
of knowing the needs and likes
or dislikes of the student body.

As for the budget and how it's
spent, $2,800 was alotted to
Social Council this year. Of that
amount, expenses such as paying
the band, purchasing materials
for publicity and tickets, etc. all
take a giant nip out of the
budget. (If you felt queasy as you
wrote out a check for $8.00 for
the Black Cat Dance this year,
take heart; the Winter Dance will
set you back a mere $6.00, and
for the Spring Formal, you have
time to save up $7.00).

Rep reports

Unanimous
vote for
RC 176

At the Rep meeting of
November 9, RC 176, regarding
placement of students on the
Curriculum Committee, was dis-
cussed and voted on. Two
arguments against student
participation on this committee,
from an unnamed faculty
member, were read by Vice-
President Debbie Smith. This
member of the faculty felt that
student power in the area of
curriculum decisions would be
weakened, for two student com-
mittee members could easily be
voted down within the com-
mittee. It was recommended that
students continue to present
suggestions through "es-
tablished channels." The second
argument was that it would bean
invasion of faculty members'
privacy.

Kate Kussrow, representing
CAP, argued that students did
not wish to hold these positions
for power, but in order to help
the committee, and that the
personal lives of the faculty are
not the business of this com-
mittee. The RC was passed
unanimously.

Events to keep in mind for the
future include a "Welcome
Back!" party Jan. 7, a Disco Party
on Jan. 22, the Winter Dance on
Feb. 5 (at the Royal Coach Inn), a
Casino Party on Feb. 25, a March

It is an interesting
phenomenon that, in an
institution devoted entirely to
the education of women, more is
not said or written - by us - that
directly concerns womanhood
as we are now experiencing it.
Most of us shudder when Agnes
Scott is referred to as a "girl's
school"; even less appealing to
us is the old-fashioned and
scathingly coy term "finishing
school." Both descriptions - des-
pite the awareness of feminine
intelligence which is supposedly
rampant in today's world - are
unfortunately common.

When faced with such labels,
most of us cringe; some of us
wanting to enlighten the
ignorant, try to explain exactly
what kind of institution Agnes
Scott is. And yet, do we ourselves
really know what we are defen-
ding, what kinb of life we are
daily involved in here at this
college? Even more important,
do we have any conception of
the part Agnes Scott can - and
should - play in our attitudes and
ideas as women in today's world?

We seem, more and more fre-
quently, to be questioning and
discussing what it means to be
that strange and wonderful
thing, a woman. We are begin-
ning to visualize some of the
problems awaiting us when we
graduate - the importance of fin-
ding a fulfilling and stimulating
career, or of entering into a
marital relationship with the
same attention paid to personal
needs, desires, and goals. Some
of us are trying, idealogically at
least, to combine the two. Mixed
with these complications and
questions is the intellectual
awareness which we have tried
to cultivate within us while at
Agnes Scott. Is it possible to be
the artist and thinker as well as
the lover and wife? Does our
formal education end with
commencement or do we
pursue further structurized

4th Disco Party, something new
called "The Spring Do" on April
Fool's Day, the Spring Formal on
April 23 (at the Regency), and an
outdoor celebration in the Quad
on May 6th.

learning?

All of these are questions
which we at Agnes Scott are
beginning to grapple with. There
seems to be an increasing
openness about these subjects.
We are beginning to feel a bond
with each other concerning
academic matters, creative ef-
forts, sexual identity. We speak
honestly to each other on sub-
jects which our mothers and
grandmothers regarded as
taboo. Thisopenness is helpful in
many ways, for we are all
attempting to define ourselves as
women in the traditionally male-
oriented society in which we
move.

However, it is all too easy - be-
ing surrounded by other female
students - to take refuge in the
feminine stereotypes which we
say we are trying to escape. We
are protected here at Agnes
Scott; the personal attention we
receive and the chance for self-
expression we are given are not
the rules but the exceptions. We
are fortunate to have these op-
portunities; still, it is imperative
that we develop the feminine
identity to strengthen us when
we encounter less-indulgent
situations. When we hear Agnes
Scott labeled as a "finishing
school" we must be able to show
clearly and firmly tha't we have
emerged as something more
capable, more volatile and ex-
citing, than a dull carbon copy of
a dull and outdated ideal. We
must come to tjms with our
intellectual and spiritual selves -
as for the most part we do - but
we must add to this concept of
the importance our womanhood
plays in all that we do. We are
facing many prejudices and mis-
conceptions when we prepare to
enter today's world. As Simone
de Beauvoir points out in her
study of women entitled The
Second Sex, "Man is a human
being with sexuality; woman is a

Editorial

Drop us a line

Although it seems that a respectable number of people on cam-
pus do read the Profile regularly, apparently few are aware of the
editorial policies or of the methods by which they can use this
publication for the benefit of their organizations or themselves. The
Profile does not exist for itself but as a means of providing in-
formation and (hopefully) entertainment for the campus com-
munity.

The Profile does not have the space to announce every meeting
of every organization on campus, but we try to announce any
special meetings or campus-wide activities such as the meeting for
students interested in a summer marine biology course, or a hub
party. Heads of organizations, faculty members, and administration
can help us keep everyone informed by giving information about
these meetings and activities to the Profile ahead of time (two weeks
if possible).

The Profile also seeks opinions on any subject - including the
Profile itself. The "Letters to the Editor" column is designed as a
forum for the views of all members of this community. This column
is meant to allow interested persons an opportunity to express their
opinions to a large percentage of the campus at one time.

In particular, we want to know what students, faculty, and ad-
ministration think of the Profile. If enough people wish toseea con-
tinuing article discontinued (i. e. Roses and Thorns, News Clips), the
Profile staff will be glad to consider dropping it. On the other hand,
if someone has a suggestion for an article or articles that might be
included in the Profile, we will be pleased to consider this, also.

Please follow the guidelines explained below in the masthead
when submitting a letter for publication. Only under extraordinary
circumstances will the Profile publish an anonymous letter. If
anyone wishes to have a letter published anonymously, they should
put their name on the letter and express the desire to have their
name withheld. The Profile will return the letter if we feel that we
cannot publish it without naming the author. Letters (particularly
pertaining to the Profile itself) which are not meant for publication
are also welcome, but should be marked "not for publication."

All correspondence should be put in Box 764 or given to a
member of the Profile staff. We hope that through the interest of
our readers we will be better able to provide a satisfactory and en-
joyable newspaper, but we cannot do it unless we get some res-
ponse.

Letter from the President

To All Agnes Scott Students,
Faculty, and Staff:

In order to keep you informed
of our labor negotiations with
Local No. 438 of the Laborers'
International Union, I am sen-
ding you the following report of
the status of talks as of November
5, 1976.

As many of you may
remember, the National Labor
Relations Board conducted a
union election on May 20, 1976,
to determine if the College's
maintenance, custodial, and
food service employees wished
to be represented by Local No.
438 of the Laborers' International
Union. The Union received 36
votes and there were 31 votes
against the Union. This unit con-
sists of approximately 72 em-
ployees.

On May 28, 1976, the Union
certified by the National Labor
Relations Board as the bargain-
ing representative for this group
of employees, and on June 2,
1976, we requested that the
Union provide us with its con-
tract proposals. We did not
receive the Union's contract
proposals until July 16. Between
August 10 and November 5, we
had eleven negotiating sessions
with the Union, and we have
reached agreement on many
non-economic items which are
of importance to the College and

example, we have agreed to a

authorizing such deductions,

agreed to which provides a

for a wage increase of 14.4%.

The College has offered an 8%
increase in wages, retroactive to
the first pay period in July of
1976. The College has agreed to
increase the employees' rest

periods and proposes to add two
additional holidays. We have
agreed to a clause guaranteeing
the employees a minimum
number of hours pay on report-
ing to work or being called back
after they have left the campus.
The College has offered to con-
tinue many of its fringe benefits
such as vacations, sick pay, pen-
sions, etc., but there has been no
agreement on the economic
items with one or two minor ex-
ceptions as indicated above.

We will continue to negotiate
in an effort to reach an
agreement on what we hope will
be a three-year contract.

The Laborers' International
Union is the one which
attempted to organize certain
employees of DeKalb County
last spring. The Union led a strike
against the County which
resulted in substantial disrup-
tion. It is my fervent hope that we
will not havea similar experience
at Agnes Scott.

Since coming to Agnes Scott a
little over three years ago, I have
striven to improve every aspect
of the College, including the
wages, fringe benefits, and
working conditions of the em-
ployees represented by this
Union. It is our intent to be fair
with our employees at all times,
but we will not be forced into
making concessions which are
not in the best interest of the
College.

I will keep you advised of any
significant developments in
these negotiations.

Course change
instructions provided

Students who wish to make
course or section changes for
winter quarter will make such

Faculty. Hours will be as follows:
November 16 - 9:00-12:30; 1 :30-
4:30, November 17 - 9:00-11:30;
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. This is to be
done before November 16. The
student 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).

Freshman and sophomores
who wish to consult their faculty
advisers before making a course
change are urged to do so in ad-
vance of November 16; they will
not need course cards for this
purpose. These students must
then see one of the deans in
order to have the change

authorized on the course card
(which will be on file in the Dean
of the Faculty's office, November

16, 17).

It is imperative that all course
changes for the winter quarter
be made on November 16 and

17. Textbooks for the winter
quarter will be ordered on the
basis of course enrollments as of
November 17. It is essential that
they be ordered at that time in

what's happening

Hello, and how are all of you wonderful ladies from ASC? Fine, I
trust and eager to read all about What's Happening in Atlanta, Ga!
So, I will get on with the show, and then you can find out just what
Entertaining Eleanor has found for you to do in this unique town!

"Divine" Sarah Caldwell will be the guest conductor for the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on November 11,12, and 13, at 8:30
p.m. in Symphony Hall.

Miss Caldwell will open the evening's performances with
Schubert's "Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major." She will then move
on to Elliot Carter's "Symphony No. 1." And to close her evening
with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Miss Caldwell will conduct
Berloiz' "Symphonie Funebre et Troimphale." Truly impressive
evening; I hope all of you plan to attend, for it will be an excellent
treat.

Percussionist Scott Douglas of Atlanta performs on the marimba
and vibraphone Sunday, Nov. 14, here at ASC. The free
performance is at 3:00 p.m. in Presser Hall.

On the marimba Douglas will play "Un accompanied Sonata No.
1" by J. S. Bach, "Marimba Suite" by Paul Sifler, "Prelude in G Ma-
jor, Op. 11 , No. 3" and "Etudes Op. 6" by Clair Musser, and "Suite
for Marimba" by Alfred Fissinger. On vibraphone he will perform
"Songs" by Gary Burton. He and pianist Mark Parrish will conclude
the program with "Concerto for Marimba and Vibraphone" by
Darius Milhaud. Another lovely recital to be performed at ASC, and
I strongly urge ya'll to attend!

There will be an Architecture in Atlanta Tour on November 14,
from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Southern Federal Savings and Loan As-
sociation. It is located at the corner of Roswell Road and Ricken-
backer Drive. The next A in A Tour will be December 5, in the World
Congress Center and will coincide with the Governor's Open
House of the Center. Architecture has always been fascinating to
me, especially that of the South . . . here is my opportunity to find
out all about it; see you there!

GREECE: FACES & PLACES, will be presented in person by Clay
Francisco at ASC, on Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m., in Presser Hall. It is a com-
pletely new Travelog ranging from the glories of Ancient Greece to
the charm and warmth of her modern-day cities. For those of you
who have never been to Greece, please attend, for these Travelogs
really are the next best thing to being there yourself!

A precedent-setting approach to record retailing began here
when Oz, the Enchanted Land of Records and Tapes opened their
magical doors last November 1, 1976.

Oz is not only a record store but a voyage through the Land of Oz,
where there is a trip over the Rainbow with a rag-tag Tin Man and an
enchanted money acts as a tape courier, but also holds the city's
largest selection of records and tapes.

Visitors to Oz will first enter Kansas, a barnyard of stalls filled with
artisans working leather, making candles, selling greenery, and
homemade wares. Shoppers will enter the Land of Oz through a
fecial ly - designed tunnel, a tornado that gives the illusion of swirl-
ing them into the magic land. Once in Oz, record buyers can find
male and female vocalists in a brightly-hued Munchkinland, clas-
sical albums in the Lion's Forrest, heavy metal rock in the Tin Man's
Domain, and tapes in the black stone Witch's Castle, the area that
offers one of the store's most unusual features. Once a customer has
selected a tape, he will drop it into a special cache from where it will
be transported, by an enchanted flying monkey, above his head to
the cash register. And yes, there is an Emerald City which is the land
of children's records.

Truly a fantasy trip like no other, I can only recommend that you
go and see Oz for yourself, and remember that they carry the city's
largest selection of tapes and records and at the lowest prices. But if
you don't want to buy anything, go anyway, for it is the neatest place
I have ever seen!

I wanted to close my column today with a topic near and dear to
all of us Christmas. WZGC (Z 93) is sponsoring a Toys for Tots
campaign this year which I feel is really fantastic. All you need to
contribute is a new or used toy, $3.93 and you get to see one of the
most fantastic concerts at the Omni yet. On Dec. 5 WZGC will
present Dr. Hook, Styx, Starbuck, and Manhattans plus another
group yet to be announced and the price of admission is just a
new or used toy, and $3.93 and even if you aren't a concert sort of
person, please donate to this cause for it is a worthy one, and has
wonderful, happy results!

Have a wonderful weekend, and I do hope to see you attending at
least one of those fantastic treats I have mentioned today.
Remember to stay tuned right here to find out WHAT'S
HAPPENING!

P. S. Stay tuned to Z 93 for more info on where to take your toy!

Blackfriars stage new production

Michael O'Brien, Sylvia Foster, Michael O'Brien.

The Agnes Scott Blackfriars'
production of Ring Round the
Moon will open this Friday even-
ing at 8:15. The play, by Jean
Anouilh, has been called a farce
by some, a comedy of errors by
others, but all have agreed that it
is funny.

The setting is a villa in France
around 1915. Hugo,a'young man
about town, has become bored
with life in general so he decides
to have a little fun with t^e guests
at his aunt's ball. Hugo is
especially annoyed with the
puppy-like adoration that his
twin brother Frederic is directing
toward Diana, a young woman
about town. Hugo brings homea
dancer, Isabelle, and passes her
off as another socialite with the
understanding that she will lure
Frederic away from Diana.
Isabelle is happy to help Hugo
since she thinks she is in love
with him. Diana's father, a
melancholy millionaire, has his
own mistress, Lady India, who is

same time, Lady India is having
an affair with Patrice, the father's
secretary. Patrice wishes to end
the affair but is afraid of losing his
job.

During all this, the aunt has
decided to have her own fun, so
she introduces Isabelle's mother
as a countess. Little does the
Aunt know that her own com-
panion, Capulet, is an old friend
of the mother. Add to this cast a

Arts Council

There are so many interesting
activities available on the Agnes
Scott campus that sometimes we
are forced to choose between
them. However, we are
fortunate in having the Arts
Council to keep these rather
frustrating decisions to a bare
minimum. The Arts Council con-
sists of representatives from the
fine arts groups and the student
body. Its purpose is to serve as a
clearinghouse and information
center between these groups.
Thus, cultural events are
coordinated and publicized so
that the student body may
participate in as many events as
possible. In addition to
coordinating campus events, the
Arts Council sponsors receptions
and some very informative
programs such as "The In-
troduction to the Arts" and the
bus tour of Atlanta. This year's
bus tour was sponsored jointly
with the Athletic Association and

We here at Agnes Scott must
finish with the protective,
familiar things of girlhood and
begin to emphasize our
womanhood. Through con-
tinued openness with each
other, we can share - and learn
from - our experiences; through
newspaper articles, creative
endeavors, and contacts with
professors and faculty, we ;can
take steps toward increased ap-
preciation of this aspect of life.
Being a young woman at Agnes
Scott - and looking forward to
the same identity when we leave
- can be perilous, puzzling, fun-
ny, sad, and unpredictable. Itcan
also be the most important and
self-enhancing quality which we
can acquire during our time
here. It is up to us to make Agnes
Scott a dynamic and applicable
institution rather than a mere
"finishing school."

Viscott's views on relationships
are enjoyable and informative

HOW TO LIVE WITH

Viscott, M. D. Arbor House. 198
pages. $6.95.

Practicing psychiatrist and
best-selling author David Vis-
cott's book on human relation-
ships is both enjoyable and in-
formative due to his simplistic
style of writing. He offers helpful
advice for people who wish to
improve their relationship by en-
couraging people to set goals for
themselves.

Describing relationships as a
chance to "celebrate life
together," Viscott asserts that a
good relationship enables
people to develop their in-
dividual lives to the fullest.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

To be black -and a Scottie

by Anicia Lane
I have often wondered just
how it feels to be a Black woman
at Agnes Scott and since most of
my best friends are Black women
at Scott, I posed the question
directly to the members of
Scott's newest campus-wide
organization, (formed last year)
Students for Black Awareness
(SBA).

Not all the members of SBA
were present at the meeting in
which I conducted this
interview; but, of the seven who
were able to attend, the res-
ponses were as diverse as the
women who make up SBA. We
met in one of the date parlors in
Main at a long wooden table.
The night was crisp and the room
was silent as I asked each woman
in turn, "How does it feel to be
Black and a Scottie?"

Crystal Singletary, a
sophomore, reflected a moment
and then said that she has found
a strong sense of "sisterhood"
among the Black women.

"Being Black," she said,
"doesn't keep me from being a
Scottie." Chrystal found the lack
of Black men at campus
functions such as disco dances,
mixers, and street dances, a real
disappointment. She also sited
the lack of Black faculty

members at Scott. Crystal
pointed out that SBA has no
sponsor as yet among the faculty
because those faculty members
which SBA had asked to sponsor
them "could relate to us as
women. But not as Blacks."

Soft-spoken Diane Petersen, a
Jr.. said "the majority of time, I
feel I'm a part (of the Agnes Scott
community) and accepted like
everyone else. Maybe it's my
personality, but, I can't get as
close tootherstudentsas I'd like;
we seem to only go so far and
then stop at that point." Diane
expressed appreciation for the
attention given to Blacks in her
American History course.
Referring to Blacks on campus in
such professional positions as
librarian and Personnel Aid,
Diane said she is "happy to see
Blacks employed in positions
other than maintainence."

Shirley Culbreth, an
outspoken freshman, wasted no
time in stating her views. "I may
be a Scottie," she said em-
phatically, "but I am still a Black
woman. And I intend to retain
that identity." Shirley said that
she would like the librarian's
record collection fleshed out a

bit to include more music by
Black composers, musicians, and
singers. In addition to classical

music performed by Blacks, she
wou'd like to see music which
reflects the essense of the Black
experience, such as gospel,
blues, soul, jazz, as well as
readings and documentaries.

Emily Moore, another
freshman, said that the major
reason she came to Scott was due
to the generous financial aid
awarded her. "Agnes Scott is
really a very good school and I
enjoy being here. Nobody looks
at me because I'm Black and
should be pidgeon-holed (as
such). Some faculty members
treat me the way they do (in a
slightly condescending manner)
because I'm Black. I like atten-
tion, but. not fhar sort of atten-
tion as if they felt obligated to
be nice to me because I'm here."
Emily is disturbed by the way
"the other Black people on cam-
pus are treated," especially the
workers in the dining hail. "I'm
extra sensitive," she said, sitting
forward on the couch, "I feel
different. I've gone to
predominantly all-white schools.
J feel more than I see!"

Deborah Williams isolderthan
most freshmen. At 23, she's been
out of school for six years and
finds life at Scott "interesting,"
but sometimes, "depressing".

Survey results show Volkoff
to be highly effective

During the past week, the
Profile conducted a survey to
assess student opinion on
Professor Volkoff's teaching.
Professor Vladimir Volkoff,
whose contract is not being
renewed for the academic year
77-78, is the Associate Profes-
sor of French and formerly of
Russian.

Some of the questions used
in the survey were taken from
the Student Instructional
Report (Princeton, 1968). The
report is commonly used by
Agnes Scott professors to
evaluate student opinions on a
course.

Of the approximately 110
surveys which were sent out to
French and Russian students. 46

were returned. Due to lack of
time, surveys were not sent to
alumnae and Junior year
abroad students.

The first question was:
"Compared to other instruc-
tors you have had at ASC, how
effective has Dr. Volkoff been
in this course?" Thirty-two
students ranked him as being
one of the most effective, eight
students ranked him as more
effective than most; three
students gave him an average
rating, and one student ranked
him "not as effective as most."

Forty-five students res-
ponded "yes" while three
students answered "not sure"
to the question: "Did he en-

courage student initiative?"

Forty-four students thought
that he "encouraged students
to think for themselves" while
two replied "not sure."

In response to the question:
"Di he raise challenging ques-
tions or problems for dis-
cussion?", 42 students replied
"yes," one replied "not sure,"
and one answered "no."

Forty-five students thought
that he was well prepared for
each class, while one was "not
sure."

Forty students thought that
he was readily available for
consultation with students,
while four students were "not
sure."

New faculty reflect
on student-prof, roles

There are five new faculty
members at Agnes Scott College
who are teaching during the Fall
quarter. In order to acquaint the
students of Agnes Scott with
these members, each member
was asked a question and each
contributed a written response
to that question.

One question asked was
"What do you consider to be the
most important factors in a
student-teacher relationships?"

C. Benton Kline, Jr., who is a
former professor and Dean of
Faculty at Agnes Scott, replied:
"The single most important fac-
tor in a student-teacher relation-
ship is trust: (1) the student trusts
the teacher as to competence,
preparation for the task, and
fairness. (2) The teachers trusts
the student as to seriousness,
willingness to prepare for class,
and honesty and integrity. (3)
Each entrusts her / himself to the
other in openness to learn."

Similarly, Christabel Braunrot
of the French department wrote:
"Reciprocal trust in honesty of
intent is obviously essential to
any working relationship. More
personally - I would like my
students to realize that intellec-
tual enrichment is a two way
process; if the students' factual
knowledge is necessarily limited,
his / her intellect may well be the
equal of the teachers; I am only
happy in a classroom where I
learn as' well as teach and
everybody has something to

Rep reports

contribute."

The other question asked was
"What goals would you like to
accomplish in teaching here at
Agnes Scott?"

Terry McGehee, who is the
new faculty member in the Art
department, answered by
writing: "I am involved in teach-
ing students to develop their
creative and imaginative selves
in a significant way. When I ask a
student to draw a tree she asks
What kind of tree?' I encourage
her to ask instead, 'What can I say
about a tree?' "

Albert Sheffer of the Math
department replied, "I would
like to impart to my students
some sense of the beauty,
richness, and usefulness of
mathematics; to make them
aware that mathematics is still a
vital and growing discipline to
which women are contributing
in ever-growing numbers; and
to make the process of learning
mathematics as stimulating and
enjoyable as I can."

Steven A. Haworth, instructor
of Political Science commented:
"First, I hope to harmonize my
roles as father, husband, teacher,
and friend. Secondly, I hope to
teach students of my ex-
periences with man's political
behavior, and to learn from the
experiences of colleagues and
students. Lastly, I hope to have
some slight effect on society by
way of the subsequent activities
of my students."

November 16, Linda Shearon,

to Rep on their experiences at
the meeting of the Women's
Council of Southeastern
Colleges at Converse College.

In a series of meetings and
workshops, many topics were
discussed by the representatives
of 8 southeastern women's
colleges Cindy Hodges,

President of SGA, chose the most
relevant topics for further dis-
cussion and possible action by
Rep. These topics include: vot-
ing procedures, the possible
merits of a two-slate system over
our current one-slate election;
special interest groups involving
members of the faculty (i.e.
hiking, sailing) and the pos-
sibility of a closer relationship
between Rep and the Board of
Trustees.

Deborah expressed the desire to

suggested a course in "Ancient

Gaillard Municipal Auditorium.
Daily one-hour chamber
concerts, chamber opera, and
prose theatre performances will
be held in the Dock Street
Theatre. The expected chamber
opera program will be Bizet's
"Dr. Miracle" and a collection of
works by Offenbach. The theatre
program will probably be a
production of "The Creditors"
by August Strindberg. The visual
arts, poetry, film, and mime and
ballet programs are still being
formulated and will be an-
nounced in the near future. A
symphonic concert and
fireworks at Middleton Place,
one of Charleston's most famous
plantations, will serve as the Fes-
tival's finale.

The Spoleto Festival hopes to
arrange tour packages from all of
the major U.S. cities. These pac-
kages would include charter
flights, tickets, and ac-
comodations. The tickets are ex-
pected to be available beginning
in late February. Due to the
overwhelming enthusiastic res-
ponse to the Festival, interested
persons should contact the
Spoleto office as soon as possible
for specific program information
and ticket applications. This
would also be an excellent
chance for Agnes Scott students
to arrange group transportation
and experience a little bit of
Italy!

The Spoleto Festival U.S.A. of-
fice is located at P. O. Box 157,

tly. Leaning back in her chair like
a wise sage from the East, she said
that after sticking it out at Agnes
Scott for four years "you tend to
mellow". Audrey, who had
previously attended all-white
schools before coming to Scott,
said that over the years, "a
person goes through changes.
It's like walking into your house
and seeing an entirely new
house, (which is) not entirely an
unpleasant experience just
more a fantasy-type thing."
Audrey felt that school
presented no special problem
for her and took a rather
philosophical view of the whole
experience of life at Agnes Scott.
"School is not responsible for
people's attitudes and
personalities". She has noticed
that over the years, the Black
students have become "more
unified". Audrey advised the
other Black students to "seek
changes and feel around for new
experiences, seeking out
different way s of living and con-
tacting new experiences.

"After all," she said with the
voice of a Tired Old Senior,
"Agnes Scott may not be the
greatest place on earth, but what
is?"

After interviewing these few
Black women at Scott, I began to
feel a song run through my mind,
a song which I'd not heard in a
long time by Roberta Flack. The
song is called Angelitos Negros
(Black Angels). When she
performs the song in concert,
she begins by saying, "Painters,
why do you always paint white
virgins? Paint beautiful black
angels."

Now that Agnes Scott is ad-
mitting more Black students,
perhaps the next step toward a
fully realized process of
integration might be cultural
recognition of other ethnic
groups besides the traditional
white, right-out-of-high school,
upper middle class Scottie.

Moments remembered

Tradition has always played a
large role at Agnes Scott. We
have recently heard rumors
that some people think it plays
too large a role. An obsolete list
of rules has come into our
possession that will, with one
shattering blow, dispel the
notion that too much of the
traditional has been retained at
Agnes Scott. In other words, if
you think you've got it bad
now, you should have been
here when . . .

1. Neatness of person, of
dress, of desk, and of bedroom
is required at all times.

2. No one will be excused
from meals except for sickness.

3. Should a pupil on account
of sickness be unable to attend
any of the school exercises, she
must present a written excuse
to the teacher. This rule also ap-

plies to walking, study hall,
church, and Sunday School. Ex-
cuses will be given in the In-
firmary during the first ten
minutes after breakfast and
dinner.

4. Pupils are not allowed to
receive callers on the Sabbath.

5. Each young lady will take
her clothes to be washed to the
west bathroom on the second
floor on Monday morning
before 8:00.

6. Pupils are not allowed to
borrow money, jewelry, or
books, or to wear the clothing
of others.

7. Pupils will not be allowed
to leave the grounds without
the permission of the Principal
nor to appear on the streets
unaccompanied by a teacher.

8. No talking allowed: a. in
halls during school hours, b.

after lights out at night, c. dur-
ing religious exercises and lec-
tures. No loud and boisterous
talking and romping is allowed
at any time.

be in their bedrooms during
school hours without permis-
sion of the Principal.

10. No pupil is allowed to
sleep out of her room.

A humorous, farcical play and
a -talented cast combine to
make Blackfriars' production of
Jean Anouilh's "Ring Round the
Moon" highly entertaining.

The play itself consists of
amusing characters who engage
themselves in ironic and comical
plots and sub-plots. Hugo, a
handsome, dashing "young man
about town/' initiates the con-
flict with a scheme contrived to
make fun of the guests at his
aunt's ball. Hugo plans to thwart
the engagement of his twin
brother Frederic to Diana
Messerschmann, a rich, spoiled,
egotistical young lady who is
secretly in love with Hugo. Hugo
is scornful of Diana and of her
money, and he accurately
perceives that she doesn't love
Frederic. In order to lure
Frederic away from Diana, Hugo
blackmails Romainville, a mid-
dle-aged "patron of the arts/'
into inviting his friend Isabelle, a
poor ballet dancer, to the ball.
Isabelle is introduced as Romain-
ville's niece. She reluctantly
agrees to play the part Hugo has
designed for her and becomes
the belle of the ball. She fancies
herself in love with Hugo, and
her dreams are encouraged by
her ambitious mother. Also in-
volved in the action is Diana's
father, "a melancholy
millionaire," who receives
pleasure neither from his
money, nor from his mistress
Lady India, who issecretly having
an affair with his secretary

Glee Club
Christmas

A Christmas concert will be
presented Sunday, December 5
by the Agnes Scott Glee Club,
the Opera Workshop, and the
Agnes Scott Madrigals in Presser
Hall. The concert is to begin at
8:15 and will precede the cam-
pus Christmas party.

The Glee Club, under the
direction of Dr. Theodore K.
Mathews, will perform a com-
bination of French and American
Christmas music. Among the
French songs to be performed
are "Noel Nouvelet," "A la
Venuede Noel," "The Miracle of
St. Nicholas," "Ave Maria,"
"Masters in this Hall," and
"Patapan." The American
portion will be composed of "A
Marshmallow World," "It's the
Most Wonderful Time of the
Year," "Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas," "The
Christmas Song," and "Sancta
Maria." Soloists for the Glee
Club will be Anna Bryan, Ann
Co nrad, Debbie Daniel, and K.
C. Docie. Ann Huffines will also

Patrice.

Madame Desmermortes, elderly
aunt to Hugo, Frederic, and Lady
India; and her "faded com-
panion" Capulet add to the fun
when it is revealed that Isabelle's
mother is a long-lost childhood
friend of Capulet's, and Madame
Desmermortes introduces her at
the ball as a countess. A General
and a "crumbling butler" named
Joshua complete the cast of
characters. The ensuing conflict
is rich in humor generated by the
antics of comical characters and
the playwright's strange mixture
of relationships. Lest the action
be too prolonged, Madame
Desmermortes takes matters into
her own hands and assures the
audience of the traditional
happy ending.

Michael O'Brien displays his
versatility in an excellent
performance as the clever,
sophisticated Hugo and the shy,
insecure Frederic. He is adept at
switching roles, and the
audience has no difficulty mak-
ing the distinction between
Hugo and Frederic. Sylvia
Foster's portrayal of the spoiled,
egotistical Diana
Messerschmann is commen-
dable, although Diana is not seen
on stage very often. The
audience is more familiar with
Isabelle, played by Katherine
Gowan. Katherine is very adap-
table and gives a capable
performance, but the part of
Isabelle really doesn't suit her.
Before the audience, Isabelle is
nearly always troubled or on the

Glee Club are Evelyn Babcock

The Agnes Scott Madrigals will

"Greenwillow Christmas," and a
French medley composed of
"Gabriel's Message" and "Born
is He." Soloists for the group will
be Ann Conrad, Martha Hackl,
Hope Lamade, and Ginny Lee.
The Madrigals are directed by
Marquerite Booth.

A section from Amahl and the

will sing the part of Amahl, and
Debbie Daniel will portray his

Workshop is under the direction
of Janet Stewart. Kathy Oates will

verge of tears, so that one has dif-
ficulty believing she could usurp
Diana's place as the center of
attention at the ball. In addition,
Isabelle is perhaps a little too
plain and "natural" to compare
with the strikingly beautiful
Diana. Mimi Holmes is quite
comical as Isabelle's pretentious,
aspiring mother. She and Lynn
Summer, who gives an amusing
performance as Capulet, are res-
ponsible for some of the play's
funnier moments. Lynn's
characterization of Capulet is
especially appropriate, for she
gives the part the right amount of
sentimentality without overac-
ting. Carole Langston skillfully
portrays Madame
Desmermortes, a rich, elderly
lady who enjoys reliving past
memoriesand managing the lives
of others. Carole seems com-
fortable with the part, and an ex-
cellent make-up job gives her
the image of being very old but
well-preserved. Evadne Ragan is
a sensuous and alluring Lady In-
dia who obviously enjoys living
dangerously. Opposite her,
Peter Thomasson is hilarious as
the somewhat effeminate
Patrice. A highlight of his
performance is an exciting tango
which he dances alone.

The production is delightful
and highly recommended to the
college community as a whole.
The final performance will be

Volkoff: Our loss

For the pa^t 10 years, Agnes Scott College has been fortunate to
have Professor Vladimir Volkoff, Associate Professor of French and
formerly of Russian, a distinguished scholar, in our midst.

A graduate with high honors from various colleges in Europe, Dr.
Volkoff has had experience as a journalist, lecturer, and translator.
He has published several novels including Metro pour /' Enfer
(Subway to Hell), which received the Jules Verne award in 1963. His
extra-curricular activities at Agnes Scott include the organization of
the Foreign Language Drama Contest, his work with the Admissions
Office and various research projects.

Dr. Volkoff joined the Agnes Scott faculty in 1966 to teach French.
Due to an increased interest in Russian and her space achievements,
Dr. Volkoff was asked to direct Russian studies in addition to Fren-
ch.

Now that student interest in Russian has dropped during the past
year, Russian is no longer being offered at Agnes Scott. The college
is not renewing Dr. Volkoff 's contract for the year '77-78 because of
the discontinuation of Russian.

It is incomprehensible to faculty, students, and alumnae that a
professor such as Dr. Volkoff who embodies the academic ex-
cellence of this college would not be offered reappointment on a
part-time basis. The fact that Russian is no longer being offered
should be inconsequential since Dr. Volkoff was hired primarily to
teach French.

Agnes Scott cannot afford to lose a professor who adds prestige
and diversity to the community. One Senior summed upthe overall
feeling on campus by stating: "Dr. Volkoff is one of the most
knowledgeable professors I've had at Scott. His absence will not
only create a huge deficit in our cultural and creative resources but
will affirm the administration's inability to assess the talent and con-
tribution that builds a growing Agnes Scott."

It is uncertain whether or not the administration will see its way to
offer i rig Dr. Volkoff a position in the French Department next year.
The only constant factor is the high respect and admiration which
the c ampus feels for a distinguished language professor.

graduate. The letter was mailed
on Oct. 31, and as of Nov. 12 Ms.
Belt had received no reply other
than a note from Bertie Bond
stating that the President was out

he returned. Feeling that the
"matter must have a wider forum
for discussion," Ms. Belt mailed a
copy to the Profile for
publication.)

Dear Dr. Perry:

During a recent visit to Agnes
Scott, I was disturbed and dis-
tressed to learn that Mr. Volkoff
of the Agnes Scott faculty had
this year been given a terminal
contract, ostensibly because of
declining enrollments in Russian
language courses. What seems to
have been forgotten or at least
left unsaid is that Mr. Volkoff
also teaches French at Agnes
Scott; indeed, I have always
understood that his primary res-
ponsibility was teaching French
and that his teaching Russian,
while important, was a happy ac-
cident occasioned by the
fortuitous presence of someone
already on the faculty who was
qualified to teach Russian. Thus,
the talk is that it is not really Rus-
sian enrollments which are at is-
sue, but the overall quality of Mr.
Volkoff's teaching. As a former
student in his French civilization
course and as one who, although
I majored in English, ac-
cumulated thirty-two hours in
French, twenty-three of these at
the 300 level, I feel I am well
qualified to speak to that issue.
After all, I sat in his class day after
day. I listened to his lectures. I
did the work he assigned and
took his tests. How better to
judge the quality of someone's
teaching than by its effect on the
student?

I found Mr. Volkoff to be
eminently qualified to teach
French. His spoken French is
crystal clear, polished, cultivated
and it is the speech of a native.
This is a distinct advantage not
only for the French 101 or 103
student learning French pronun-
ciation, but also for the more ad-
vanced student, who can polish
her language skills through
conversation with a native
speaker. One learns more about
French pronunciation, in-
tonation, and diction from casual
conversation with Mr. Volkoff
than in hours spent in the
language lab with a mechanical,
recorded substitute.

He forced us to use the facts we
had learned, to apply them in
new ways in short, to think
rather than to memorize. The
goal of college instruction as I
understand it is precisely that: to
teach the student to think.

Throughout the course I took
from him, Mr. Volkoff upheld
high standards and flatly refused
to give on them. He demanded
and got a great deal of work
from his students. He had a
reputation for being a hard
teacher and a hard grader, and
this may be one reason that his
classes have never been large.

Not only is Mr. Volkoff's
speech that of a native, but his
outlook is European. A Fren-
chman quite simply views the
world differently from an
American. Having lived in France
for some length of time, Mr.
Volkoff is in a fine position to
present and explain such
differences in outlook; indeed,
In many respects he shares and
even embodies the French
viewpoint. Thus, he is eminently
qualified to teach and explain
French civilization. It is ex-
tremely helpful to have as a
teacher someone who can come
at French language, civilization,
and literature from inside French
culture rather than from outside
it. From this difference in
viewpoint one gains a fresh in-
sight into and a new perspective
on French ideas and French
literature.

In my civilization class, Mr.
Volkoff was well read and well
prepared. He fielded questions
skillfully and actively en-
couraged them. His expectations
for his students were high. We
were required to do more than
merely absorb facts and figures.

Due to lack of money resulting
from budget cuts and rising
publishing prices, this is the final
issue of the Profile until January
of 1977.

Exam envelopes are due in to
professors on Tues., November
30 and Wed., December 1. All
written work for the quarter is
due at 9:00 a.m. on December 10
(Reading Day). Students should
not put papers through the local
mail or under the door of a
professor s office. Either hand
the paper to the professor direc-
tly or take it to the Dean of the
Faculty's office. Exams begin Sat.,
December 11 at 9:00 a.m. and
end at 4:30, Thurs.. December
16. Requests to Absence Com-
mittee for an extension of the
December 10 deadline on
written work must be made by
Mon., December 13 at 4:30 p.m.

If you are interested in ex-
ploring possibilities for summer
employment in the Federal
government, it is necessary to
pass an examination for your
name to be placed on a register
of candidates. This examination
will only be given twice next
year, and the first examination
requires application by
December 9. The application
form is contained in a brochure
entitled Summer jobs which is
available in the browsing area of
the Career Planning Office.

The library has announced
that hours will be extended on
Saturday, December 4 and 11 in
order to allow students more
study time before exams. On
these days the library will be
open from 9:00 a.m. to 10 30
p.m.

For those who were willing to
work, however, the results were
rewarding. My understanding of
French civilization and my
French language skills were
enlarged and enhanced by his
course.

In sum, Mr. Volkoff is an
energetic and effective teacher
who has been an asset to the
Agnes Scott community for as
long as I can remember. He is
uniquely qualified to teach
French language and civilization.

He upholds high standards, for
which I respect him. In a time
when I know from my own ex-
perience that standards are slip-
ping in some areas of the Agnes
Scott curriculum, such tenacity is
both healthy and refreshing.

With regard to class enrollments,
I remember with pleasure
several classes I took while at
Scott which had only four or five
people in them. The individual
attention was rewarding, and I
was grateful for it. Further, small
classes, individual attention, and
the favorable faculty student
ratio are three factors upon
which Agnes Scott has long
prided herself and of which she
has boasted in her advertising
and recruiting material. Thus,
despite declining enrollments in
Russian and, incidentally, I
was interested to read in the
Profile that there were quite a
few students who wanted to take
Russian, but that "scheduling
problems" prevented this Mr.
Volkoff is a valuable and needed
member of the French
department. I therefore protest
the giving of a terminal contract
to Mr. Volkoff. I strongly urge
you to reconsider that action and
to allow him to remain at Agnes
Scott.

If he is let go, the college
and the students will ultimately
be the losers. Please do not let
that happen.

Sincerely yours.
Debi Belt, 75

Taylor to address campus

Agnes Scott's Focus on Faith
week this year, January 23-26,
concentrates on the theme,
"Who Are You, Lord?" with Rev.
J. Randolph Taylor as the prin-
ciple speaker. Rev. Taylor is the

Owling about
who's who

Fifteen seniors at Agnes Scott
will be included in the 1976-77
edition of "Who's Who Among
Students in American
Universities and Colleges." They
are: Evelyn Babcock, Mary Anne
Barlow, Anne Bond, Anne
Callison, Sylvia Foster, Audrey
Grant, Jet Harper, Cindy Hodges,
Kate Kussrow, Kathy Oates, Susi
Pedrick, Susan Pirkle, Debbie
Smith, Lynn Wilson, and Emily

Wingo.

Selection for Who's Who" is
based on academic
achievement, leadership in
academic and extracurricular ac-
tivities, service to the school, and
potential for future service to
society.

The seniors were nominated
for the honor by their senior
classmates.

New Spanish
courses offered

Two new courses have been
added to the curriculum of the
Spanish Department at Agnes
Scott College. Freedom and
Literary Creation and Mexico:
The Search For Identity are being
taught by Mrs. Martinez in
English in order to attract
students who are interested in
these areas but are unable to
speak the Spanish language. The
former is an examination of

works of prose in Spanish
American literature from 1940 to
the present. The latter concerns
the principal problems underly-
ing Mexico's search for a
national identity. In both
courses, complimentary
readings will accompany Mrs.
Martinez's lectures. The Spanish
Department hopes that
everyone will take advantage of
these offerings.

ing from 7:30 to 9:30, Com-
munion will be given and the
message will be "The Fellowship
of the Spirit." This also will be in
the Rebekah reception room.

Also, for the faculty, there will
be a meeting at the Perry's home
on Tuesday evening from 7:30 to
8:30. Refreshments will be
served.

Angela Fleming and Cherol
Crutchfield, co-chairmen
together for the Focus on Faith
week, encourage your atten-
dance at as many meetings as
possible.

ASC study group

Transport of nuclear wastes probed

A study group headed by
Sharon Collings has begun look-
ing into a problem of serious
concern to every inhabitant of
the metro area. Within the next
decade, millions of gallons of
radioactive wastes may be
transported throughout the state
due to the construction of the
Barnwell reprocessing facility
just across the border in South
Carolina. Because of the
convergence of three major
interstate highways within the
city limits, much of this material
may come straight through
downtown Atlanta.

At the very least, this

hazardous material will have to
be carried through the residen-
tial sections that border on
heavily-traveled I-285. G-PIRG is
attempting to determine if ade-
quate safeguards are being
carried out to protect Georgia
citizens from this potentially
lethal material.

Background research for the
study was begun in early fall. The
study will examine the co-
ordination between the many
state and federal agencies in
regulating and enforcing safety
standards as well as evaluating
the procedures to be followed in
case of an incident.

Work on the project this
quarter will include additional
data collection and contact with
all agencies involved. An in-
depth study of the effectiveness
of the regulations is planned,
with major emphasis on fre-
quency and thoroughness of
inspection and enforcement. In
addition, there will be a look at
problems of notification of
shipments, approval of routes,
and crucial time lags following
the occurence of an incident.

For more information on how
you can become involved in this
study, contact Sharon Collings,

Behavioral study performed
at Agnes Scott

by Mari Perez

Various instances of psychotic
behavior have been noted on
the Agnes Scott campus, and oc-
casional slobbers and twitches
are to be expected under grave
stress. There is recent evidence
that ASC students are becoming
victims of a non-academically
related disorder in increasing
numbers.

The complex displays various
symptoms easily spotted by the
astute observer. For example; a
typical patient will awaken in the
morning and turn on her electric
curlers, stereo, desk lamp
overhead light, curling iron,
make-up mirror, and eventually
turn off the electric alarm clock.
(The items mentioned are the
bare essentials of most patients.)

This is the "gadget hangup"
manifested in those who have
the complex. It seems the patient
often thinks her gadgets are alive
for she always tries to make them
feel useful. If she leaves the
room, the appliances are left on
to entertain each other.

There have been reported
cases of unsuspecting persons
who have entered the rooms of
these students and have been as-
saulted by blinding lights and
deafening sounds. Those who
have not been able to stumble
away before suffering any
permanent damage are
sometimes found paralyzed
against the wall with their hands
clutching the light switch.

Another symptom of the
syndrome may be observed in

the dining hall. Sufferers attempt
the amazing feat of eating by
sight. It has been noted that
larger amounts of food are
necessary when eating by this
method. The patient takes three
or four times the normal amount
of food to the table and places it
before her with a stack of nap-
kins approximately two inches
high to one side. She then ab-
sorbs nutrients by staring fixedly
at the food for no less than forty-
five minutes. There is no visible
change in the quantity of the
food during the entire process.
After the "meal", subjects take
one napkin from the top of the
pile and carefully wipe the
corners of their eyes. Some

Stonehenge
revisited

Ladies, why are you at Agnes Scott? Hopefully, your answer has its
major emphasis on getting an education. And how are you to get an
education? Most probably by attending classes and, more im-
portantly, by studying and preparing the work for those classes. As
vital as each class period is, the time spent sitting before the profes-
sor is wasted unless the student has studied and prepared
beforehand. And how is the student to study and make efficient
preparation?

The majority of students, regardless of their major emphasis, re-
quire the facilities of the library. Yet, the library is made difficult for
the student to use to the fullest. If she wishes to continue working
after 10:30 p.m., she must leave the library (often leaving behind
materials which cannot be checked out) and return to her
dormitory room to be distracted by the noises of stereos, TV's,
showers, toilets, and conversation. Seeing that the function of the
library is to serve the student, and that the student's reason for be-
ing here is to learn, it does not seem unreasonable to ask that the
library remain open until 11 :30 ot 12:00 p.m. every night (including
Saturdays, which, so far as we know, have not been proclaimed
study holidays). And regardless of the announced closing time,
students should be given more than one or two minutes warning
before lights are turned out. One student, certainly notalone in her
predicament, was studying in the stacks with papers and books
spread out in her carrel when the lights were blinked and only
moments later turned completely off. She was left to gather her
materials and scramble out of the stacks in darkness. This episode
took place before the supposed 10:30 p.m. closing.

And what about art students, who spend their mornings in Art
History and their afternoons in Art Lab? Allowing for the time
necessary to set up before and clean up after, how much can be ac-
complished in the limited time available on Sundays? Here again, is
it so unreasonable to ask that the students be allowed to work in
Dana on Saturday and Sunday nights? Or if the building must be
locked, must the students literally be run out before they can reach
a stopping point? Students are in effect being told that they cannot
continue working, a suggestion which undermines the justification
for this institution's existence.

Beyond the problem of lack of time to work, there is the inability
to work during the time allowed. In Presser, the temperature is so
low on some winter nights as to be literally unbearable for practice.
In case you haven't experienced it, practicing an instrument is very
difficult in gloves, or with fingers which are numbed and stiff from
the cold. If something cannot be done to improve the archaic heat-
ing system (which, by the way, is not any better for all those expen-
sive pianos than it is for us expensive students) at least some attempt
should be made to better insulate the windows. At present the draft
through some of the "closed" windows is enough to be felt at the
opposite end of the room. Even during the daytime, classrooms in
Presser are so cold that students must keep their coats on
throughout class.

Certainly students understand the need to economize, and we
have sympathy with the difficulties of administration, but not one of
these requests has anything to do with a selfish desire for pleasure
or entertainment. We would simply like to do what we came to
Agnes Scott to do . . . get an education.

A free four-week Preventative
Auto Maintenance clinic is being
held each Thursday of January in
Rebekah Reception Room, from
7:30 to 9:00 p.m.

The clinic, sponsored by the
Board of Student Activities, is
conducted by Richard Nagel,
owner of the Golden Rule Auto
Service Center in Decatur. He is
assisted by Bobby Gable of NAPA
Auto Parts. Mr. Nagel's clinic
deals with becoming familiar
with the entire car, and simple
auto maintenance work that may
prevent car problems.

The four lectures are sup-
plemented with actual
demonstrations of preventive
maintenance techniques. He
hopes to give the participants a
working knowledge of cars
which will help them cope with
the rising cost of auto repairs.

Julia's
Child
Dreams

by Julia Midkiff
As everyone knows, stress
causes tension. And of course,
tension causes sleeping
problems, problems which may
include nightmares. Since Agnes
Scott College is another name
for stress, it logically follows that
Agnes Scott College causes
nightmares. There are those who
argue that ASC is not a cause of
nightmares, but is a nightmare.
That argument I will leave to
others; for my purposes it it
enough to say that this college
only causes nightmares.

Some college-oriented
nightmares are common to all
students. Everyone has had the
recurring nightmare that she will
forget to take one of her exams.
And there is the girl who dreams
that, being possessed by some
devil, she openly and blatantly
cheats on a test and is called
before Honor Court. The sequel
to this dream is another
speciman of the ASC nightmare.
It is the one that pictures Honor
Court members as black-robed
vultures perched around that
room on fourth-floor Buttrick.
They stare silently at the victim as
she stutteringly pleads her case.
If the verdict is guilty (and it
always is in our nightmares), the
bird who has been whistling
"God of the Marching Cen-
turies" throughout the trial
swings a noose before the vic-
tim's eyes.

Then there are more
specialized nightmares. Like the
English major who dreams that
she will miss that final 9 a.m.
deadline at the end of the
quarter. Or the biology student
who dreams that her fruit flies
will not breed. Then there is the
psychology major who has a
nightmare that ends in dis-
proving Freud. One freshman
(who has since found ASC
nightmares more than she can
bear) dreamed that the Russians
invaded the U.S. during a
chemistry test and that her
professor held the entire Russian
army at bay while his class
finished the test.

Fortunately, nightmares are
few and far between simply
because nights spent in sleeping
are few and far between. But
when they do occur, these
nightmares are nothing com-
pared to the one walking
nightmare we live through each
day.

GRITZ harmonizes Winter Weekend

A local bluegrass band will be
featured for the first half of this
year's Winter Weekend. Social
Council's Winter Weekend,
February 4 and 5, marks the
return to the traditional
weekend-long festivities once
treasured by all Scotties as winter
quarter's sole redeeming grace.
In addition to the usual Winter
Dance, which will be a formal af-
fair on Saturday night, February
5, Social Council has planned a
more relaxed event for Friday
night, February 4.

Known as the best bluegrass
band in the Atlanta area, and
perhaps in the Southeast, GRITZ
(a pre-Plains name, believe it or
not) has played college concerts,
festivals, T.V. shows, and clubs.
After the powers-to-be became
aware of the group's presence,
GRITZ also performed for a
Jimmy Carter fund-raising
dinner. Hemingway's, in north
Decatur, can be called their
second home, as they play there
almost monthly.

The four-member group in-
cludes John "J. D." Culbreath
(banjo and twin fiddle), Rick
Lowe (mandolin and fiddle),
Coart Johnson (guitar), and Lessa
Nanney (bass). Rick, Coart, and
Lessa started the group when
they were students at Furman
University. They lost their
original banjo player after
graduation, but decided to stay
together. They discovered a new

banjo and twin fiddle player in
Decatur, where they met "J. D.".

The band's circle of fans in-
cludes the Agnes Scott faculty.
The English Department's B. W.
Ball, who is noted on campusas;
bluegrass connoisseur, calls their
style "eclectric." According to
Mr. Ball, the pickin' and strum-
min' of GRITZ would satisfy any
bluegrass "purist." Mr. Ball also

attests to their knowledge of the
history of bluegrass music.
GRITZ has succeeded in render-
ing some of the rock-and-roll
songs of the '50's as bluegrass.

With the support of the Agnes
Scott faculty and students, this
"down-home" half ot Winter
Weekend promises to be one of
Social Council's biggest
successes of 1977.

Alliance spoofs "Scapino"

A new play opened at the
Alliance Theatre on Thursday,
January 13. This play is
SCAPINO! by Frank Dunlop and
Jim Dale. A takeoff of Moliere's
17th century comedy, SCAPINO!
is the old story of lovers whose
fathers want them to be
separated and a clever servant

who plots to see the lovers
united. This hilarious comedy is
full of laughter and fun for the
entire family. "If you miss it, you
will be crazy, and if you let your
kids miss it, you will be simply
inhuman," says critic Clive
Barnes about SCAPINO!
Christopher Allport, a

newcomer to the Alliance
Theatre Stage, plays the
audacious servant, Scapino.
Mr. Allport has acted in Joseph
Papp's productions at the New
York Shakespeare Festival's
Public Theatre. He played
Laertes to Jon Voight's Hamlet,
and was featured in the Frank
Perry film, "Man on a Swing."

Also appearing for the first
time at the Alliance Theatre, are
John Mulligan and Albert
Sanders in the roles of the two
fathers. John Mulligan's
numerous Broadway credits in-
clude "The Matchmaker,"
directed by Sir Tyrone Gutherie.
Albert Sanders has just com-
pleted filming the motion pic-
ture "Fire Sale" starring Alan
Arkin. He originated the role of
Linus in the Off-Broadway
musical hit "You're A Good Man
Charlie Brown."

Season tickets for all seven
Alliance Theatre plays can still be
purchased. For ticket in-
formation call the Alliance
Theatre Box Office at 892-2414.

Need help?

Students encouraged
to visit ASC deans

Why do most freshmen, or for
that matter, many
upperclassmen refuse to go to
the cleans or other members of
the staff when they have a
problem here at Scott? Do they
feel strange about talking to
someone with the title 'dean' or
are they worried that their
problems will become the latest
piece of gossip in the ad-
ministrative circle?

My own mental block was tell-
ing my problem to a total
stranger. When the chance came
up for me to do an article for the
paper on the subject I hurried to
Dean Kirkland for a talk.

After being ushered into the
long avoided office, I settled
down to the interview. My main
concern was for how the deans
felt about their jobs on campus.

patients are more artistically in-
clined and prefer to crumple
each napkin in the stack and
arrange them in a creative
fashion around the plate.
Transportable items are taken
from the cafeteria in case the
patient wants to watch a snack
later on. These items can be used
over long periods of time as long
as they are not eaten. However
most patients throw them away
when they begin to sprout things
or when the smell becomes
unbearable.

Studies are under way to ex-
amine the socio-economic
effects of the condition on the
campus. No cure for the con-
dition has yet been discovered.

Dean Kirkland replied, "If the
students stop coming to the
deans we may as well fire
them. The main mistake students
make is not going to someone.

Go to an adult on campus and say
help. The deans and staff on
campus are paid professional
here to help with with any
problems. Many people wait un-
til the problem is so big there is
no one else to turn to ... I bet
now that you've been here once,
if a problem comes up you
would come back again."

She's right, I have made a new
friend and I'll never worry about
not having anyone to talk to or a
shoulder to cry on again while
I'm at Scott. I've discovered a
whole group of new friends, the
deans and staff.

AAUP gives info on Volkoff

The Profile has learned that a
letter was sent to President Perry
by the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP) in
Washington to obtain in-
formation concerning Dr.
Vladimir Volkoff's contract
termination.

Dr. Volkoff, the Associate
Professor of French and formerly
of Russian was told in June of
1976 that his services would not
be required for the academic
year 77-78 because of a decline
in Russian enrollment. Since that
time, Dr. Volkoff has corres-
ponded with the AAUP national
headquarters in Washington.

Students review
Washington semester

Three Agnes Scott students
have just returned from the
Washington Semester. One of
the students, Mary Jane Norville,
descri bes her time in
Washington, D.C. as "fantastic. "
Sue Jinks says that it was "great" .
. . "excellent" and Toni Meador
confides that she had a "really
good time" but that she is "glad
to be back."

Sponsored by the American
University in Washington, D.C,
the Washington Semester at-
tracts participants from colleges
and universities throughout the
United States. The students who
attend may elect to participate in
one of the three broad units of
study: Government, Economics,
or Science. Then, the student
selects a more specific area of
interest to study. For example,
within the Government section,
there are groups studying
federal government itself, urban
studies, U. S. foreign policy-mak-
ing and international
development.

The Semester consists of spen-
ding approximately three days a
week at seminars and two days a
week at an internship or working
on a research paper. Prominent
speakers often lead the dis-
cussions at the seminars. The
internships are about ten to six-
teen hours per week.

Mary Jane Norville, a junior
political science major, was in
the group studying international
development. Seemingly
elated about the whole ex-
perience, she was most excited

about her internship at the Pan
American Development Foun-
dation, a small, private
organization working with pro-
jects in Latin America. At the
company, Mary Jane worked in
research, project design and
fund-raising. She felt that herex-
perience on the job was a very
valuable part of the Semester.

Toni Meador, a senior political
science major, was not especially
excited about her months in
Washington. She said that
although she had a good time,
the section she was in, American
government, was too general
and not challenging enough.
Toni seemed excited, though,
about her internship, in which
she worked in Senator Morris
Udall's office. She described the
city as "terrific" and expressed
her "overawing" feeling of be-
ing surrounded by history and
government.

Sue Jinks, a senior biology ma-
jor, participated in the Science
unit of the program. She thought
the semester was "great" and
mentioned the many prominent
scientists who talked with her
group. Sue stated that she
thought it was "excellent", that
she "got a lot out of it" and, in
general, she "loved it."

Next fall, the Washington
Semester will again be offered to
Agnes Scott students. Twenty to
twenty-four quarter hours may
be earned. Notices stating in-
formation about the program
and application deadline will be
posted in the near future.

Flagpole
mystery
solved

by Lynda Harris
Since the beginning of its
new life on our campus, the
flagpole has been the subject of
many rumors, several of which
are false. One of the
predominant rumors has it that
the flagpole came about as a
result of spontaneous
generation. Not so. The foun
ding of our flagpole originated
in Rep Council last winter
when they gave a recommen
dation to President Perry
suggesting the Bicentennial
minded addition of a flagpole
to the campus. Agnes Scott had
possessed a flag for some time,
but it had not been flown due
to the lack of a pole. The flag
had been given in memory of a
young man killed in the War.
Much of the surprise effect was
achieved because Rep Council
did not know when or where
the flagpole was to arise. Those
bleary-eyed students who ran
headfirst intothe base on Mon-
day morning are requested not
to blame Council members.

Agnes Scott students need
not worry about the amount of
money spent in erecting the
flagpole, since the $6,000 did
not come from the "campus
improvement fund", or the
cafeteria's fall quarter profit.
Money for the pole was con-
tributed by several donors who
(cont. on pg. 4)

According to Art Waterman,
executive secretary of the AAUP
Georgia Conference, the letter
of January 7, which was sent to
Dr. Perry is normal procedure
when a grievance is sent to
Washington concerning
academic freedom and tenure.

"We're very early in the
game," Waterman said. "We're
simply investigating a complaint
about a professor whose con-
tract was not renewed." When
questioned about the con-

troversy surrounding tenure,
Waterman replied, "We
(National AAUP) think he should
be tenured."

When contacted by the
Profile. Or. Perry said he would
release a "summary of facts" to
the campus as soon as he con-
sulted with the Executive Board
of Trustees, which meets today.
Dr. Perry expressed disap-
pointment that the Agnes'Scott
local AAUP was not consulted by
the national AAUP about the
matter.

Freshmen impressions
of fall surveyed

In an attempt to discover the
fresmen impressions of fall
quarter, seventy-five ques-
tionnaires were randomly dis-
tributed among their class. Un-
fortunately, only about ten were
returned. The following im-
pressions, therefore, may or may
not be representative of the en-
tire freshman class. What does
seem to be representative of the
freshman class and probably
every student at Agnes Scott,
however, is the scarcity of time to
devote to much of anything out-
side of studying - especially
answering questionnaires!

In the beginning of their
college career, the following ex-
pectations were reported
fulfilled: difficult academics, in-
creased independence, and re-
warding friendships with other
students. Most of the freshmen
felt that they had accurately an-
ticipated the difficulty of the
academic load here. Knowing
that, the most natural question is
"Why did you come here?"!!!
The girls generally agreed that
the faculty is personable and
willing to help except one girl
who felt that some of the faculty
is patronizing and difficult to talk
to.

In learning to live with their
roommates one freshman had to
contend with "studying with the
TV, radio, and roommate - going
all at once!" while another girl
had to listen to her roommate
"scream in her pillow!"

The following were listed as
spare time activities: ice-skating,
basketball, occasional light read-
ing (personal ads in Creative
Loafing!), playing pranks on
people, and going to fraternity
parties "that I wish I hadn't gone

to." This last remark brings us to
the rather important issue of the
social situation at Agnes Scott.
From my experience, it seems
that the freshmen and the other
classes soon divide into two fac-
tions - those who love fraternity
parties and those who despise
them. There don't seem to be
many middle - of - the - roaders!
Considering that a great part of
the social life consists of going to
fraternity parties, the girls who
enjoy them have it made. But
what about the girls who don't?

One of the solutions suggested
by the freshmen was to have
many more informal gatherings
on campus. This would also
eliminate the transportation
problem that many freshmen ex-
perience. To quote: "Without a
car, a friend with a car, or a
boyfriend - you can forget a
social life." It is true that without
transportation Atlanta "might as
well be five hours away instead
of five minutes". More informal
gatherings would give the girls
without transportation and the
girls who do not enjoy the
fraternity scene a chance to have
a much more enjoyable
weekend. A variety of different
schools such as Emory, Georgia
State, and Mercer could also be
invited. Presently it seems almost
as if we restrict our social interac-
tion solely to Georgia Tech.

Concerning the remainder of
the school year, the freshmen
wrote that they would "take
things slower", "study a lot
more", and try to make more
time for their "own intellectual
and creative pursuits without
feeling guilty about it". The
words that most described the

Editorial

Ask not what you
can do for honor. .

Next week the Agnes Scott campus will find itself once more em-
phasizing honor as we experience Honor Emphasis Week. Perhaps
you feel that honor is over-emphasized around here, that the
nickname "St. Agnes Convent" isn't all that far from fact well, to
paraphrase JFK, ask not what you can do for honor, ask what honor
can do for you."

Personal honor and the ability to live under an honor code can do
a great deal for you. Imagine what life at ASC would be like without
our honor system. For example, do you like self-scheduled exams?
Perhaps you haven't ever had the experience of taking several ex-
ams in one or two days followed by a week or so of waiting to take
the last exam. Most schools aren't as lucky as we are, they accept
scheduled exams as a necessity they believe in student dishones-
ty-

But ASC firmly believes in student honesty. That is why you have
take-home-tests to help you do the best work possible, why you
have key privileges to be able to come and go like responsible
adults, and why you have the right to drink alcohol at campus
functions to let you determine your own life style. And what about
those of you who are enjoying the new privilege of open dorms?
Where would that policy have gone if not for the fundamental
belief on this campus that students are responsible, mature, and
hotiest ?

An aspect of the honor system which we all tend to gripe about,
but which is in reality one of our greatest advantages, is the policy of
not discussing tests and exams before all students have completed
them. Think for a moment of the situation which would exist
without this policy. You have just taken an unusually difficult exam
you worked hard all quarter to do well, and you've spent a great
deal of time studying and reviewing. When you finished the exam
you felt confident that you had done well, and what is more, you felt
proud that you had accomplished something difficult, and you did
it honestly . Then you learn that another student in your class had
taken the exam and also felt that she had done very well onlv in
this case it was because a third classmate who had already taken the
exam provided her with a synopsis of the material covered. Even if
the divulsion of this information was unintentional, the result isthe
same as if the two students had planned it from the beginning. The
result is that your grade, your accomplishment, to which you had
given so much time and energy, is cheapened and made almost
meaningless. The honor system is here to prevent injustice, not to
curtail conversation.

Beyond the everyday privileges which the honor system allows,
there are also long-range, "cosmic" advantages. Certainly every
student who graduates from ASC is not a mature, independant
woman, but she cannot blame her lack of maturity on the con-
ditions here. The honor system allows us the freedom to determine
our own course. With minimal exceptions necessary to the smooth
running of the campus community within the laws of reason and of
the country, there are no rules seriously hindering any individual
from living her life the way shesees fit. Therefore, ASC provides the
student with a testing ground for her developing independence.

just think a minute of how lucky you are. It doesn't have to be this
way, you don't have to have this much freedom. In fact, every time
you violate even the smallest rule of our honor code you are br-
inging this school one step closer to the restrictions, tension, and
mistrust to be found at less fofrunate institutions. It is up to the
student to protect this system. All freedoms, all rights, demand
sacrifices . . . they are not worth having otherwise.

ROCK SPRINGS. Wyo. If res-
taurant patrons who have a bad
meal don't return for another
why should students facing a
similar situation continue to eat
at school cafeterias?

Shirley Roberts, food service
director for the school system
here, answered the question by
choosing a student committee to
help plan menus and make
suggestions for improving
cafeteria patronage generally.

The committee members and
cafeteria staff consult regularly
to keep the bill of fare in line
with students' changing tastes.
Among the surprising choices
high school students have made
are bleu cheese dressing twice
weekly for their salads and
creamy Italian dressing instead
of oil and vinegar other times.

Ms. Roberts said the junior
high is buying more ketchup, in
response to complaints from
those served late in the lunch
period that the ketchup bottles
were always empty.

role the honor system plays in

as a community. The following is

Jus' love dem
fire alarms

by fuiia Midkiff
Fire drills are the bane of my
existence. They never occur
when they should. In my opinion
fire drills should take place dur-
ing the day. That way I would
never be caught in the shower,
on the phone or in bed. Whether
they occur early in the evening
or early in the morning, fire
drills never occur at the right
time.

How many times have you
been in the shower when that
dreaded alarm goes off? You
leap from the shower and run to
your room leaving a trail of
shampoo lather behind; you
grab the first robe or coat you
can find (and it is never long
enough); you scramble through
your closet looking for a pair of
shoes (the only ones you can find
are the silver sandals that go with
the dress you wore to Black Cat) ;
you remember that you left your
washcloth in the shower: you
run back to the bathroom to get
it and then remember that you
have not put up your shades; you
run back to the room and do
that; you check on your buddy
(who of course forgot you); then
you run to the stairs just as the
alarm stopsand people start back
inside. Congratulations, you
have just received an infraction
for missing the fire drill!

And have you ever received a
phone call from that good look-
ing EE you have been hoping

would call, only to have the fire
alarm go off just as he was about
to ask you out? In your des-
paration you can see only two
options. You can hide in the
closet and take your infraction
with a stiff upper lip, or you can
say good-bye abruptly and hope
he will call you back. But if you
are on the hall phone there is no
hope. Most hall phones are
located directly under the fire
alarm, so there is no opportunity
to explain or say good-bye. You
might as well hang up; he cannot
hear anything you are saying
anyway. And what good looking
EE is going to call a girl back
when she just hung up on him?

But perhaps the worst time for
the fire alarm to go off is when
you are asleep. I have never
known it to fail; the one night
you make it to bed by 10 p.m.,
there is a fire drill at midnight.
And on the night you have
stayed up until 3 a.m. studying
for a test and are planning to get
up again at 6 a.m. to cram, there
is a fire drill at 4:30 a.m.

People begin every quarter
speculating on the date of that
quarter's fire drill, and at least
one night every quarter every
Scottie has her life ruined, k
must make Interdorm feel
powerful to know that on any
night they choose, they can drive
nearly 600 girls out of their rooms
to stand shivering and cursing on
the steps of the dorms.

ministration will discuss the
honor system and answer any
questions during the Wednesday
chapel time (also in Rebekah
Reception Room). The
scheduled events will conclude
with a Hub party at 10:00 p.m.
Thursday night. Please support
the honor system with your
participation.

what's happening Fuller and McDowell to perform

art

"Two Centuries of Black American Art" continues to be on dis-
play at the High Museum of Art until February 20. The exhibition
shows over 200 works by 63 artists, including paintings, sculpture,
drawings, prints, crafts, and decorative arts. Included are works by
Robert S. Duncanson, Henry O. Tanner, Jacob Lawrence, Lois
Mailou Jones, and Romare Bearden. "Two Centuries of Black
American Art" is sponsored by Philip Morris, Inc., and is supported
by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National
Endowment for the Humanities, and the City of Atlanta.

Also on display at the High Museum is the nationally-celebrated
Scott-Allen Collection of Porcelains. This collection traces the
production of European porcelain from its discovery at Meissen in
1709 to the rare Welsch Nantgraw made a century later. In con-
junction with this special collection is a display of English ceramics.

music

Spoleto Festival U.S.A. will audition musiccisns for the Festival
Orchestra. There are also a limited number of vocal parts open to
interested singers. Auditions are open to musicians 18 to 30 years of
age, and they will be judged by Christopher Keene, music director.
The audition date for Atlanta, Georgia, is March 23, 1977. The
Spoleto Festival is renowned as the world's most comprehensive
arts festival, and it includes music, drama, opera, and the visual arts.
For 19 years the festival has been located in Italy. Beginning with the
May 25 - June 5, 1977 season, tne Festival will make Charleston,
South Carolina its permanent American home. Membersof the Fes-
tival Orchestra will perform in the Charleston Festival and then in
Spoleto, Italy for the June 23 - July 10, 1977 season there. Individuals
interested in auditioning should contact Carol Dleinert or Andrea
Anson at the Spoleto Festival U.S.A. office, 803-722-2764.

theatre

In order to encourage new playwrights, to provide a showcase for
original one-act plays, and to provide an arena in which little known
directors may display their talents, the Academy Theatre is making
available for use its Second Space Theatre facilities, located at 3213
Roswell Rd., N.E. There will be no charge for the use of the theatre,
but a prospective director must assume responsibility for royalty
payments and incidental expenses. A director is responsible for
recruiting his own case and crew and for co-ordinating every aspect
of his production. No admission may be charged for performances,
but donations may be taken to cover the cost of royalties. The
Academy Theatre is presently assembling a collection of suitable
original scripts from which to choose material. Playwrights are
cordially invited to submit any scripts, and prospective directors
maysubmit any material in their possession forapproval. For further
details, contact Minnette Meyer at 634-4905, or leave a message at
the theatre office, 261-8550.

miscellaneous

The Georgia Tech School of Mathematics will sponsor a series of
lectures by Dr. Ernst Adams, Visiting Professor from the University
of Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany. The general topic will
be "Bounds, Intervals, and Inverse Isotonicity." The lecture will be
held each Tuesday from January 25 through March 8 in room 211 of
the Skiles building, corner of Third St. and Cherry St. on the Tech
campus, at 3 p.m.

On Friday and Saturday, January 28 and 29, the High Museum will
present "Miss Marple Returns," a pair of double-features about
Agatha Christie's spinster sleuth. Margaret Rutherford portrays
Miss Marple in Murder, She Said and Murder Ahoy on January 28,
and Murder Most Foul and Murder at the Gallop on January 29.
Films will be shown in Hill Auditorium beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets
are $1.50 for students with IDs and $2.00 general admission.

Pianists Jay Fuller and Michael
McDowell will present a
program of music for two pianos
at 8:15 p.m. on the evening of
January 31 in Presser Hall. The
concert is free and open to the
public.

The works to be performed are
W. A. Mozart's "Sonata in D, K.
448," Johannes Brahms'
"Variations on a Theme by
Haydn, Opus 566," Robert
Schumann's "Andante and
Variations, Opus46,"and Francis
Poulenc's "Concerto in d-
minor". These pieces are all
original compositions for two
pianos, not arrangements or
reductions of orchestral works.
The scope of these musical selec-

tions covers two hundred years -
from the late eighteenth century
of Mozart, through the varying
nineteenth century styles of
Brahms and Schumann, and into
the twentieth century with
Poulenc.

Mozart's "Sonata in D" is one
of the first known compositions
for two pianos and, not surpris-
ingly in the case of Mozart, is one
of the foremost works in this
genre dating from the classical
period. Brahms' "Variations on a
Theme by Haydn," was com-
posed and published in
arrangements for both orchestra
and two pianos at the same time.
The "Variations" were Brahms'
successful experiment in using
the same material in two

Hedda Gabler opens
at Alliance Theatre

Dana Ivey

Beginning February 3, the
Alliance Theatre Company will
present Henrik Ibsen's Hedda
Gabler, directed by Kent Paul
and featuring Dana Ivey in the
title role. Miss Ivey portrayed
Annie Sullivan in last season's
The Miracle Worker and
Elizabeth Proctor in ATC's The
Grucible. director Kent Paul is
new to the Atlanta theatre. He
has directed Eugene O'Neills'
Anna Ghristie this season for
Theater-By-the-Sea in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
and Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit.
for the Cohoes Music Hall in
Cohoes, New York.

Of all Ibsen's heroines, Hedda
Gabler is certainly the most
enigmatic. She has been des-
cribed as "a strangely perverse
woman who destroys for the
sake of destroying," "beautiful
and sensual," "an anti-Muse,
destroying the creation of
human spirit because she has
had no part in its creation," "a
malignant heroine," and "a
bizarre psychopath." The role is
demanding of its actress. Hedda
Gabler, proud, beautiful, and
bored, returns home with her
husband Tesman after an ex-
tended honeymoon. She tells

her frequent visitor Judge Brack,
"I often think there's only one
thing in the world I have any
talent for . . . Boring myself to
death." Her only diversion is
playing with a pair of pistols left
her by her father General
Gabler. However, with the
return of Eilert Lovborg, she sees
an opportunity to realize her
desire to exercise power over a
human destiny. The destructions
and self-destructions that follow
in the wake of Hedda's
manipulations climax in one of
the stage's most dramatic final
scenes.

Mary Nell Santacroce, appear-
ing as Tesman's Aunt Julia, will
be performing on the stage with
her daughter Dana Ivey for the
fourth time. A member of the
Speech and Drama faculty at
Georgia State University, she is
well-known to Atlanta
audiences. Reno Roop will
portray the role of Tesman. He
appeared in ATC's Souvenir last
season and was featured on
television in the PBS Bicenten-
nial series The Adams
Ghronicles. Christopher Allport,
Scapino in the season's opener,
will portray Eilert Lovborg, and
(cont. on pg. 4)

different media.

In his "Andante and
Variations," Schumann uses
thematic material of short
duration as a launching point for
a series of interesting variations.
Poulenc's seldom performed
"Concerto in d-minor"
highlights the composer's skill at
producing music of elegance
and sophistication characterized
by deceptive simplicity, melodic
inventiveness, and clarity.

Mr. Fuller is assistant professor
of music at Agnes Scott, where
he has taught since 1954. Mr.
McDowell, professor of music
emertitus, retired as chairman of
the Agnes Scott music
department in 1975 after 25
years. He is director of music at
St. Mark Methodist Church in
Atlanta.

Silver Streak

Streak
strikes
out

by Mari Perez
However jaded one's sense of
humor can get at Agnes Scott,
the true test of endurance is
Gene Wilder's latest film, "Silver
Streak." The train, Silver Streak,
travels from L. A. to Chicago dur-
ing the course of the movie. By
the time the train comes flying
into its destination at the film's
end, it has been the scene of two
murders and one routine killing,
a shoot out, and theold "beat up
the hero's girlfriend" scene.

Gene Wilder is the hero, a
publisher of sex manuals and
gardening manuals. His aura of
literary fertility attracts the
heroine (Hill Clayburgh). She
displays her clever wit in a typical
bar scene. A salesman charms
her with exquisite subtlety which
pervades through out the film;
"Do you go all the way?" she
replies with similar brilliance,
"What?" The conversation picks
up from there; he says, "Do you
go all the way to Chicago?"

Arthur Hiller directs the film at
five miles per hour. Almost as a
afterthought, Richard Pryor
appears and adds some much-
needed momentum. His lines
are modified excerpts from his

Controversy still surrounds
equal rights amendment

Rep reports

by Ginni Rockwell
"Equality of rights under the
law shall not be abridged by the
United States or by any State on
account of sex." These twenty-
two words, which constitute the
proposed Equal Rights
Amendment, were first in-
troduced in the United States
Congress in 1923, shortly after
suffrage for American women
had been won. The same twenty-
two words took almost fifty years
to pass in Congress, passing the
House in 1971 and the Senate in
1972. However, reformers still
have a long battle ahead. The
constitutional amending process
requires that the proposed
amendment, in addition to pas-
sing both houses of Congress by
a two-thirds majority, be ratified
by three-fourths of the States. At
last count, sixteen States have
not yet ratified the Equal Rights
Amendment. They are:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, In-
diana, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nevada, North
Carolina. Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. It is
notable that many of these non-
ratifying states are Southern
states.

Who supports the ERA? Who
opposes it? From the
amendment's long list of sup-
porters come the names of many
well-known, respected, and
powerful persons and
organizations. They include:
Former First Lady Betty Ford,
President Jimmy Carter, the
League of Women Voters, The
American Association of
University Women, the Young
Women's Christian Association
(YMCA), the National
Organization for Women
(NOW), the National Council of
Jewish Women, the American
Civil Liberties Union, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored Peoples
(N VACP), Common Cause, and
the AFL-CIO. The ERA's op-
ponents are an even more odd
melange, including Phyllis
Schafly's STOP ERA, the
American Communist Party, the
National Council of Catholic
Women, and the John Brich
Society. Surely the coalition of
the American Communist Party
and the John Birch Society must
be one of the oddest in
American political history.

What is the purpose of the
Equal Rights Amendment, and
win do its supporters feel that it
is needed? Through passage of
the ERA, the basis of individual
constitutional rights in the
United States would cease to be
the English Common Law, which
basically regards women as mere
chattels. The ERA would be an af-
firmative statement of the
equality of women and men
under the law. The strategy of
attempting to amend the
Constitution is a difficult one,
but is certainly more practical
than attempting to change each
law deemed sexist in all fifty
states, as well as those at the
national level. In addition, once
the Constitution is amended.

striking down that amendment is
an even more arduous task.
Thus, the Equal Rights
Amendment would be a long-
lasting, over-arching statement
of the equal rights of all persons
under the law, regardless of sex.

The ERA's supporters point to
its many advantages. First, they
point out, the ERA is by no means
an amendment which caters to a
small minority group. According
to the U. S. Census Bureau, the
sex ratio of the United States
population in 1972 was 95.6
males per 100 females. Clearly,
women constitute a majority of
the American population. The
Equal Rights Amendment would
outlaw denial of Social Security
and other government benefits
to families of employed women,
when those same benefits are
paid to families of employed
men. It would also outlaw re-
quirements that married women
must automatically use their hus-
bands' surnames when register-
ing to vote, getting a driver's
license, and so on. The
amendment would also outlaw
"Napoleanic Code" laws of
ownership in marriage, which
state that the male marriage
partner has automatic claim to all
property owned jointly by hus-
band and wife, as well as any
property of which the wife is the
sole owner.

Opponents of the ERA present
many famous arguments. First,
they argue, women and men are
not equal, thus implying that
either (a) women are superior to
men (the "Pedestal power"
position), or (b) women are
inferior to men (the "dumb
broad" position). They also
present the "spectre" of military
service for women. This
particular argument has several
fallacies. First, Congress has
always had the power to draft
women whenever it drafted
men; nothing in the
Constitution forbade it from do-
ing so. Second, at the moment
(hero is no Selective Service
(draft) /aw for either women or
men. Finally, the clamoring of
women in recent years which has
resulted in the opening of the
service academies in evidence of
a willingness among women to
serve their country, and the
desire to advance in a military
career.

Those trying to stop the ERA
also protest that the amendment
will eliminate child custody and
alimony payments for divorced
women. Presently 97% of all
women of dissolved marriages
do not receive alimony. It is also
true that women are not always
awarded custody of children
under the present system. Under
the ERA, child support is to be
paid by the parent most able
financially, whether male or
female, as is now the law in many
states. And with the slow
economic advances being made
by women as a group, it is
unlikely that large numbers of
*\merican women will be paying
their ex-husbands for child sup-
port in the near future.

Finally, there is the infamous

"potty problem/' linked
mysteriously yet inextricably
with the possibility of legalized
homosexual marriage. The ERA
will not legalize homosexual
marriage. The ERA will not re-
quire coed bathroom facilities in
public buildings, either. The
Ninth Amendment guarantees
each individual's right to privacy,
and this proposed amendment
will not rescind that ealier one.
Besides, how many people com-
plained about sharing facilities
with the opposite sex when last
you rode on an airplane?

Perhaps the crucial question
concerning the ERA is: where
does it stand now? The year 1977
is crucial because all the states
which have not yet ratified it
have legislative sessions this year,
while some will have only
budgetary sessions in 1978. If the
ERA does not garner the re-
quisite number of states ratifying
it this year, it may be 1980or later
before the majority of American
citizens are assured of their
equality under the law. In
Georgia, one of those Southern
states which has not yet ratified
the Equal Rights Amendment,
ERA supporters hoped to get the
bill through the State Senate on
the first day of the 1977 session.
After Georgians for the ERA and
the measure's other supporters
realized that they narrowly
missed having enough Senate
votes, the ERA was quickly put
into a subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
This action, which took place in
the first few days of the session,
could keep the ERA in sub-
committee all session, or until its
supporters feel that they have
the votes to warrant a venture
out onto the floor. Even if the
ERA passes the State Senate, it is
not felt that there is ample time
or support for passage by the
House this year. So Georgians
will have to wait another year for
the ERA. Meanwhile, both sides
feel they have won a qualified
victory. Also in the meantime,
the majority of Americans con-
tinue their lives, unsure of their
status as citizens governed by
law.

Volkoff case
discussed in Rep

Faculty renure, especially in
the case of Professor Vladimir
Volkoff, was the topic discussed
at the January 25 meeting of Rep
Council. This week the views of
students were presented. Next
week discussion will continue
with the administration
represented to give its views.

Emily Wingo read a petition
which will be circulated through
the student body and presented
to Mr. Perry, Dean Gary, and
Dean Kirkland. The petition may
need to undergo some changes
before being circulated
however.

Sandra Saseen spoke to Rep,
explaining in detail as many facts
on this subject as she has been
able to research. The situation is,

briefly, as follows: last spring
Prof. Volkoff's contract was not
renewed. Mr. Volkoff, who had
originally declined to appeal his
case to the AAUP, has decided to
go ahead with an appeal in the
face of the large student-faculty
respinse. The AAUP has sent a
letter to Mr. Perry (regular
procedure) asking for the ad-
ministration's side of the
problem. It is possible that ASC
may be in violation of its own
tenure laws, if this is the case an
AAUP investigation will
proceed. At this time no drastic
action is pending on anyone's
part. All students are welcome to
attend the discussion in Rep next
week at 6:30 in the Rep room,
Rebekah.

Open house
weekend Jan. 30-31

by Ellen Highland
Almost a hundred high school
seniors are coming to inspect this
illustrious institution on January
30 and 31. The Student Ad-
missions Representatives (SAR's)
and the Admissions Office have
been busy planning for the
Open House weekend. The high
school seniors will become ac-
quainted with Agnes Scott by liv-
ing in the dorms, participating in
planned programs, attending
classes, and meeting the Agnes

Scott students.

There will be a campus-wide
party at the Hub, starting at nine
o'clock on January 30th. At this
party the visiting high school
seniors will view some of the
Agnes Scott talent and meet the
Agnes Scott students. Everyone is
urged to come. There will be
plenty of food, fun and new
friends. A list of the seniors and
their hometowns is posted on
the Admission's bulletin board,
located in the mailroom.

Freshmen thoughts

(cont. from pg. 7 J

feelings felt during first quarter
were despair, fear, confusion,
homesickness, and *!?!!*. Come
on freshmen - it couldn't have
been thai bad! The PROFILE

additional comments and ideas

timistic!) from the vast majority

Flagpole mystery

(cont. from px 1 )
wish to remain anonymous.

The major complaint about
the flagpole concerns its
location. Its place in the heart
of our campus was not the
result of mere whim or a cast of
lots. Nor does the "English Ma-
jor Theory" that the location
was picked for its inspirational

and phallic value have any
realistic basis. The decision was
based on the campus master
plan for future improvements.
This master plan was the result
of the last landscaping study
done in 1969. The study was
done by the same architect
who designed the sidewalk
lamps.

February 4, 1977

Black History Week
to be celebrated

During the week of February
6-12, the Students for Black
Awareness will sponsor a variety
of events celebrating Black His-
tory Week. On February 8 Aleida
Martinez of the Agnes Scott
Spanish faculty will give an in-
formal talk on "The Black In-
fluence on Spanish Literature".
The talk (thank goodness!) will
be in English and will begin at
8:15 in Rebekah Reception
Room. Another interesting talk
will be delivered on February 9
by the WSB-TV anchorwoman,
Monica Kaufman. The topic will
be "Black Women in the News
Media" and will be presented at
11:30 in Presser Hall. That even-
ing at 8:15 in Presser the Students
for Black Awareness will also
present "Creations in Ebony". A
member describes this program
as being "a realization of the
innermost thoughts of black
people as expressed through
poetry, dance, and music." Judg-
ing on last year's program, the
production should prove to be
excellent and should not be

missed. Believe it or not, dinner
during this week should also not
be missed as a variety of music
from spiritual to jazz will be
played!

The Students for Black
Awareness would like anyone
interested in joining the
organization to contact Kandace
Fitzhugh, Box 137.

Faculty conference
proves promising

The Agnes Scott faculty met in
a weekend conference in
Unicoi, Ga. to discuss the liberal
arts and the changing status of
women. In the conference,
which took place on January 8
and 9, faculty members gathered
to discuss the theories and ideas
behind what they are doing.

In a series of four panels the
faculty discussed the liberal arts
tradition, the changing status of
women, the liberal arts tradition
and the changing status of
women in sister institutions and
the liberal arts tradition and the
changing status of women at
Agnes Scott College. The panels
were composed of guest
panelists and Agnes Scott faculty
members. L L. Gellerstedt, Jr., a
member of Agnes Scott
College's Board of Trustees, sat
on the panel dealing with the
liberal arts tradition and the
changing status of women at
Agnes Scott College.

Guest panelists for the
conference included Doreen E.
Boyce, Provost at Chatham
College; Joan E. Ciruti, Professor
of Spanish at Mount Holyoke
College; Eva C. Galambos,
Southern Regional Education
Board; Judith T. Gatlin,
coordinator of the Mellon Foun-
dation Grant at Furman

University; Eliza K. Paschall,
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission; and Faith Willis,
director of the American As-
sociation of University Women
Study on University Women.

A series of luncheons with the
faculty and the dean grew out of
the conference. The purpose of
thse luncheons is to discuss
various aspects of academic life
and to improve Agnes Scott'sap-
proach to these aspects. The
faculty hasdiscussed internships,
inter-disciplinary programs and
the calendar and will discuss
faculty development.

The idea of holding a faculty
conference began with
members of the Agnes Scott
College chapter of the American
Association of University Profes-
sors. Because the Agnes Scott
chapter did not have sufficient
funds to cover the expenses of
such a conference, Agnes Scott
College undertook the project
and a committee was elected
from the faculty to plan the
conference. Richard Parry, as-
sociate professor of philosophy,
served as chairman of that com-
mittee, and he regards the
conference as "a great success."
"There was a great spirit that
came out of it," he added.

Rep reports

Tenure case discussed

The Rebekah Rep room was
filled to capacity last Tuesday
evening with approximately 75
students waiting to hear both ad-
ministration and student views
on tenure, and in particular, the
case of Professor Vladimir
Volkoff.

President Perry, Dean Gary,
and Dean Kirkland were the
representatives of the ad-
ministration who addressed
: themselves to the scores of ques-
tions which were put before
them. President Perry began the
informal discussion by reading

excerpts of the letter which he
wrote to the Profile (see p. 2).

President Perry referred at
times to Agnes Scott's written
policy concerning tenure that
was adopted by the faculty and
approved by the Board of
Trustees in 1968. He quoted the
following passage: "In an
unusual circumstance and by
mutual written consent the
probationary period may be ex-
tended. . ." He mentioned that
the French Department didn't
think its enrollment justified the
keeping on of Mr. Volkoff as a

English historian
to address campus

On February 15, Professor J. J.
Scarisbrick, noted historian from
the University of Warwick,
Coventry, England will speak at
Agnes Scott College. His topic is
the sixteenth century English
statesman Sir Thomas More. The
lecture is at 8:15 p.m. in Presser
Hall, and is open to the public at
no charge.

Professor Scarisbrick,
chairman of the history
department at the University of
Warwick, will be in the United
States during February to
participate in a symposium at
Fordham University, New York,

marking the 500th anniversary of
the birth of Sir Thomas More.
Scarisbrick is a widely known his-
torian of Tudor England and the
author of a biography of King
Henry VIII, who reigned during
More's lifetime. Scarisbrick's
biography of King Henry VIII is
acknowledged among historians
to be the standard work on that
historical figure.

In 1970 and 1975 Professor
Scarisbrick lectured in Elgnad to
Agnes Scott students who were
participating in the Agnes Scott
summer study abroad programs
in English history those years.

full-time professor. Also, he said
that the Russian enrollment had
"dwindled." He added that it
was up to a department to
recommend (to the ad-
ministration) who to keep, and it
was up to the chairman to con-
sult with her members.

Numerous questions were
posed, but particularly outstan-
ding were those of students who
wanted to know if the French
Department could release a
statement explaining how the
chairman made her decision.
Mary Virginia Allen, chairman,
has refused to answer questions
by the Profile concerning Dr.
Volkoff's case.

Much discussion was given to
a need for a student evaluation
of professors and input in the
decision-making process. Cindy
Hodges, SGA president, stated
that "Evaluation of faculty
members can be a very positive
thing." She added further, "I
think we (the students) can draw
something up and encourage
the faculty members to let it be
used. They ought to know how
we feel."

President Perry mentioned
that he is waiting to see if there
will be "substantial student
interest" in Russian enrollment
Spring quarter.

How to prepare successfully
for examinations

"Depend on it, sir, when a man
knows he is to be hanged in a
fortnight, it concentrates his
mind wonderfully."

Samuel Johnson might well
have been talking to students
about pre-examination time and
that gnawing feeling of
foreboding! Examinations can
concentrate one's mind
wonderfully, but in a positive,
practical manner that willnot
only increase your learning
potential but help your
performance.

The key to both success in ex-
ams and enjoyment of college
work lies in the ability to use time
wisely. A pattern of good study
habits begins as the term beings,
but nowhere do you need them
more than at examination time.
You will be able to handle exams
with a minimum of stress if you
observe these six suggested
steps:

1. Make a term study plan

2. Use good review techniques

3. Develop a confident attitude

4. Organize pre-exam hours

5. Pace the exam carefully

6. Reassess your work
MAKE A TERM STUDY PLAN

At the beginning of each term
develop a daily schedule.
Allocate time for class
preparation, study, review,
recreation, eating and sleeping.

A study area is important. Have
on hand the texts, study guides,
outlines, dictionaries and
reference books, paper, pads,
notebooks, that will allow you to
concentrate without interrup-
tion.

Study and review differe from
each other. Study refers to learn-
ing something for the first time.
Review is critical because it
strengthens your retention of
this new knowledge by viewing it
as part of a whole.

Forgetting takes place most
rapidly right after learning.
Review and recall, therefore, are
more effective soon after study.
After each class go over the main
points for ten to fifteen minutes
to reinforce them in your mind.

Don 't overtax your memory or
stamina. Research shows that
most people can absorb and
retain just so much knowledge at
one time. It's important to study
day by day, week by week. Each
period of study should be no
longer than one or one and a half
hours, followed by recreation.

Take legible class and study
notes. Throughout the term
underline your textbooks and
make pertinent notes in the
margins.

USE GOOD REVIEW TECHNI-
QUES

Preparing for exams is largely a
question of review. The time

Editorial

Reason to rescind

It is imperative that President Perry take the necessary steps to
rescind a June 8 decision which terminated Dr. Volkoff's contract
and restore him to his rightful place as Associate Professor of Rus-
sian.

The reasons for Dr. Volkoff's dismissal have been weak and
without foundation. Fully aware of this, the faculty on December 3
voted by a 2 to 1 margin to negate the Curriculum Committee's
recommendation to drop all Russian courses. Fittingly enough, the
recommendation had barely passed out of the committee. The
result of all this has been that the courses in Russian will be offered
in the 1977-78 catalog and will be directly under the Dean of the
Faculty.

In spite of this, Dr. Volkoff does not have a position on the faculty
for the academic year 1977-78. Why? Because the administration
stubbornly adheres to its assertion that Dr. Volkoff is not a tenured
member of the faculty. It is true that Dr. Volkoff had an agreement
with former President Alston during the 1969-70 academic year that
he would not be considered for tenure at that time. But in 1968, the
Board of Trustees adopted Statements on Academic Freedom and
Tenure and in the 1976-77 Faculty Handbook to the point where it
now provides that such extensions "shall not be used to circumvent
the granting of tenure." In a letter to President Perry dated January
7, the national AAUP implied that Agnes Scott may be in violation of
its own tenure laws when it terminated the appointment of Dr.
Volkoff in the eleventh year of his continuous service on the faculty.
While it is true that the AAUP is not seeking to cenure the college, it
is a matter of fact that the national AAUP in Washington will send an
investigative committee to Agnes Scott if it is not satisfied with the
explanation of the college. The committee would then have to
recommend to the national AAUP whether to censure Agnes Scott
or not.

To the many students, faculty and administration who are aware
of Dr. Volkoff's superior teaching and impeccable reputation, it
seems disgraceful that his 11 years of service to the Agnes Scott com-
munity is being rewarded with a termination of contract.

Every effort should be made by the administration to keep
outstanding faculty members on campus instead of driving them

away.

To: Editor of The Profile

In the light of current concern
with respect to the case of
Professor Vladimir Volkoff, I
respectfully request you to print
the following letter which seeks
to set forth certain facts which
are pertinent to that case.

A decision to give Professor
Volkoff a terminal appointment
for the academic year 1976-77
was reached for two main
reasons: enrollment in Russian
courses had dwindled to prac-
tically nothing, and enrollment
in French classes was not suf-
ficient to justify the present com-
plement of faculty in that
department. The decision was
reached after receiving a
recommendation from the
Department of French, and
procedures in reaching that
decision were those followed in
the case of a non-tenured
^ember of the faculty.

There appears to be con-
siderable misunderstanding as to
Agnes Scott's tenure policy. Ac-
cordingly, I submit the following
facts in order to clarify the
matter:

1. When Vladimir Volkoff was
initially hired by then President
Wallace M. Alston, in 1966, Mr.
Volkoff did not disclose his ac-
tual situation with respect to his
legal status in France and his
freedom to return there. Such
freedom was considered to be
essential for a teacher of French.

2. When this situation came to
light several years later,
President Alston and Mr. Volkoff
had a clear understanding that,
in the light of this situation, Mr.
Volkoff would not receive
tenure at Agnes Scott. President
Alston has recently reiterated his
conviction as to this agreement,
and Mr. Volkoff has publicly
acknowledged it in print.

3. When I became President of
Agnes Scott in July of 1973, 1 was
fully apprised of this situation by
President Alston. If there was any
change in Mr. Volkoff's situation
in 1974, as he now alleges, he did
not discuss it with me at that time
or at any time before our
decision was reached in June of
1976. In fact, he signed reap-
pointment contracts with the
College in 1974, 1975, and 1976
which specifically states that

each of these reappointments
"does not confer tenure" at
Agnes Scott College. He did not
question any of these contracts
but signed them freely and on
schedule. If his situation did
indeed change in 1974, as he now
alleges, he did not make this
known to me at the time but
signed his annual contracts
thereafter without question.

4. Agnes Scott's "Policies and
Criteria for Appointment, Reap-
pointment, Promotion, and
Tenure," adopted by the faculty
on November 4, 1974, and subse-
quently approved by the Board
of Trustees, state under Section
V, "Permanent or continuous
tenure of office is not automatic
but is granted as early as prac-
ticable following a probationary
period in which the faculty
member is on temporary ap-
pointment. . . .In an unusual
circumstance and by mutual
written consent the
probationary period may be ex-
tended. . ." This statement in-
dicates that tenure at Agnes Scott
is not "automatic" or "de facto."
Mr. Volkoff's probationary
period has been extended by
"mutual written consent" each
year for reasons deemed jus-
tifiable. Mr. Volkoff at no time
has protested these extensions,
but has signed contracts con-
firming them. We do not believe
that these extensions have been
used to '"circumvent the gran-
ting of tenure," but rather to
help a faculty member whose
unfortunate circumstances
made it inadvisable for the
College to grant him tenure.

I have been in touch with the
national office of the American
Association of University Profes-
sors in Washington, whose
agents have assured me that they
are anxious to hear the College's
interpretation of the matter
before taking any action. I have
informed them that we shall be
heppy to meet representatives of
A.A.U.P. local, regional, or
national to discuss the matter
fully. Let me say at once at
A.A.U.P. has made no threat to
censure the College but has ex-
pressed a willingness to discuss
the entire case.

Let me assert further, in
answer to other rumors abroad,

announcing . . .

This is the last announcement
of the Marine Biology Course
being offered this summer to
interested students. The course
will include studies of marine
organisms and habitats along
both Florida coasts, including
the keys and a week in the
Bahamas. Anyone interested
should contact Tom Simpson,
Biology Dept.. as soon as pos-
sible.

During this quarter Blackfriars
will be producing four one-act

Dear Peggy,

In the January 28 edition of the
Profile, Ms. Elmore ejaculated
that not only are there not
enough social events on the
calendar (especially on-campus
ones), but that those we do have
are confined "solely to Georgia
Tech." Obviously she did not
find the time to read Ms. Lane's
article on Social Council last fall,
to notice our publicity on events,
or to peruse the minutes which
are posted each week on our
board in the mailroom.

Concerning her first false im-
pression, last quarter Social
Council exposed the campus to:
Rush sign-up with Emory and
Tech in September; Emory "Zip"
mixer-10/1; ASC Faculty -
Freshman Dessert - 10/11; Black
Cat - 10/16; and ASC Disco party

- 11/5. This winter's schedule
looks like this: ASC Welcome
Back - 1/7; Emory Psi Omega
mixer - 1/14; ASC disco party -
1/22; Emory TTKA mixer - 1/2 ;
Winter Weekend - 2/4- ;
SC/BSA party - 2/10; ASC beer-
film party - 2/11; GT EX mixer -
1/14; Emorv KA mixer at
Manuel's - 2/15; ASC Casino
party -2/2 ; GT TKE mixer - 3/1 ;
and ASC disco party - 3/4. So far,
the spring holds in store: ASC
Spring Do - 4/1 ; ASC disco party

- 4/8; Spring Formal - 4/23; and
Outside Party - 5/6. (Note:
"ASC" denotes on-campus ac-
tivities.)

As to her second criticism,
concerning supposed "limited"
invitationing to our affairs, this
year Social Council has extended
a welcome to Morehouse,
Emory, Columbia Theological
Seminary, and Georgia State. . .
in addition to Georgia Tech.
Should Ms. Elmore have chosen
to attend more of our functions
this annum, she would have
noticed that Emory men com-
prised Va of the males present
(with one exception).

The above facts should speak
for themselves. Opportunities to
take a break from academics
have been offered more this
season than in any other recent
one. Agnes Scott participation
has been rather low. In fact,
complaints have been voiced (by
visitors) that the male/female
ratio is normally 5 to 1. So, next
time you feel like relaxing, look
on the bulletin board in the
mailroom or at our posters . . .
and come. We'd love to see you
there. Thanks.

Cordially,

Anne M. Paulin,

President

A Star is Born

Streisand's "star"
dominates film

by Ralee
At my age I should have
known better than to expect
miracles. Let me qualify that
statement before we go any
further. After several tries, an old
story, turned into similar movies
in which the circumstances are
the only things that have
changed, shouldn't bring an-
ticipation to the hearts of
millions. But it did, thanks to
Hollywood P.R., and that was
what led many of us to expect
just such a miracle. To clear the
fog, I'm writing about the new
and improved)?) A STAR IS
BORN. I'm sure you've heard
about it because Phipps Plaza is
running over with people who
have (that's one of the places it's
playing). In case you haven't -
did you really spend all of your
Christmas holidays locked up in
a closet? I'll fill you in on the
details.

A STAR IS BORN is that age old
story about the big star (Kris Kris-
tofferson) who discovers the lit-
tle star (Barbara Streisand) and
makes her a big one while he
becomes a little one, star that is.
Kristofferson plays the big rock
star who played out his talent
and has nothing left to give. On
one of his binges he comes
across Streisand singing in a
drippy little coffee house and is
Impressed by her frizzy hair (he's
too busy creating a scene to hear
her sing). He takes her homeand
keeps showing up in her life like
lint. They fall in love like people
only do in the movies, get
married, and don't live happily
ever after. Enough of this mish-
mash; let me do what reviewers
are supposed to do - review.

Cafes

by anything that remotely
resembles a fairy tale, even a fairy
tale that isn't really very good. I
guess I really didn't expect to see
a great cinematic masterpiece,
but what could one expect from
a hairdresser turned producer?
However, I did expect to hear
some great or even not so great
songs turned out in the beautiful
Streisand way. Unfortunately,
what I heard was a batch of silly
lyrics that even the grand voice
couldn't help. The only semi-
decent thing I heard her sing was
the theme song Kristofferson
opened the movie with. It,
tragically enough, ended up
looking and sounding like "My
Man" from FUNNY GIRL.

The film takes on all the
qualities of the ultimate ego trip
for the Streisand-Peters com-
bination. The camera is usually
focused on her face and we lose
a great deal of what is going on
with the Kristofferson character.

The story, even when it was
first done back in the days of
black and white, is so totally
unbelievable that is has
everyone in the audience cap-
tivated. We are always captivated

Another result of this is that
Streisand's character is never
fully developed. The movie and
the Streisand character should
be alive emotionally. Instead, we
see the cold, appearance-
conscious face of Barbara
Streisand, the star, rather than
the face of Esther, the woman,
who is watching her husband
crumble and destroy the two of
them. Streisand doesn't give a
thought to Kristofferson who,
despite the burden of being
reduced to the shadow of "the
star", pulls off a rather accurate
characterization. We very rarely
are given an opportunity to see
him, much less what goes on in-
side of him. This is Streisand's
show, and she won't let anyone
forget it, especially Kristofferson,
who has proven to be a capable

Julia's Child

Sunday night panic
ain't no fun

Leisure Learning

by Julia Midkiff
Weekends are times of great
celebration for college students;
most of us rush from Friday
afternoon classes toTGIF parties,
out of town for the weekend, or
back to our rooms for an end-of-
the-week nap. The weekend
arrives, and school is forgotten,
forgotten until the Sunday night
panic hits.

Sunday nignt panic is a state ui
extreme confusion that occurs
when you realize that you have
not done any homework all
weekend and Monday morning
is just a few hours away. It is the
time when you call everyone in
your calculus class and find out
that no one understood the last
set of problems. And then you
realize that you have not done
your language lab work, and the
lab closes in five minutes. Or it is
when you realize that the English
paper you thought would only
take you an hour or so to write
will take five or six. But the
epitome of Sunday night panic is
found in the situation of the
student who, while eating that

infamous meal commonly
referrred to as ASC's Sunday
night supper, discovers that she
has a midterm at 8:30 Monday
morning.

There are many different ways
to cope with this common form
of hysteria. Some students retire
immediately to the library to
become Sunday night hermits,
some become deathly ill and are
rushed to the infirmary (forgive
me, the Health Center; none of
us at Agnes Scott are infirm, we
are centrally healthy), and some
skim quickly and hope they can
fake it. Those among us who are
bolder and more idenpendent
simply take two aspirins, go to
bed and sleep through Monday.

Each of us deals witn the Sun-
day night panic in her own way.
The only way to avoid experien-
cing this phenomenon is to treat
every day of the weekend as
though it were a week day, and
this advice I cannot give. And in
case you are wondering, it is now
11:30 p.m. 'Sunday, and I just
remembered that I had not yet
written "Julia's Child."

Exam preparation

continued from page 7

needed is not as extensive as
some students think, provided
you have been consistent in your
work. You should be able to
review for weekly quizzes in no
more than fifteen minutes, for a
mid-term hour exam in two or
three hours, and for a final exam
in five to eight hours.

Your preparation for a final ex-
am should be carefully
scheduled into the two weeks
perior to exam day Organize a
plan that does not interfere with
your regular study for on-going
classes.

Plan your review
systematically. Use textbook
chapter headings or your
instructor's outline as guides. Go
from chapter notes to class
notes, recalling important

headings and ideas. If some
some points are unclear, THEN
reread the textbook. Don't plan
to learn something for the first
time.

Making summary notes is
helpful. In four to eight pages,
outline the main points of your
detailed class and text notes. This
helps reinforce the major ideas
and important details.

Summary notes can also serve
as a self-test toward the end of
your preparation for exams. Put a
sheet over each page and slowly
uncover the first heading. See if
you can remember the main
points listed there.

Try to predict the exam ques-
tions Be alert throughout the

term to the emphasis instructors
put on certain topics, ideas or
aspects.

Ask your professor what he
recommends for pre-ex-
amination work. Use these
comments as a guide but don't
try to outguess him or her.

Group reviewing can be
helpful Limit discussions of
significant points and possible
test questions to thirty or forty-
five minutes, with no more than
four or five people.

Avoid cramming. If you have
followed a regular schedule of
study and review, you should not
have to cram.

review

actor under ordinary
circumstances. In the past,
Streisand has shown that she
does have the abilities, and so
the question here is why should
she settle for something as poor
as A STAR IS BORN? Is it just a
financial reason? It's true, the
film will pay off because of the
millions who are enthralled by
the aura that surrounds the
woman. But as far as a real
success for Streisand the actress,
she's failed miserably. Let's hope
that she comes down off this ego
trip and gets down to serious
movie making, because it is that
ego which destroyed the film.

Hepburn studies
Russian schools

Larry Hepburn, assistant
professor of education, visited
Russia during the Christmas
holidays in an attempt to study
the Russian school system. Phi
Delta Kappa, a professional
group of American educators
arranged the trip. Along with
other members of the society
Mr. Hepburn attended classes
and observed the students. The
educators visited classrooms in
three major cities, Moscow,
Talinn, and Leningrad.

There were many differences
noted between the American
and Russian school systems. In
the Soviet Union schools are
state-operated both on the
elementary and higher
education levels. Children begin
the ten-year program at the age
of seven.

Tests are administered
to the children beginning in the
second grade, and classifications
are made according to aptitude.

language programs including
such programs as Hinti and
Chinese. All children are taught
English throughout the ten-year
program. The classroom is
formal and disciplined. If a
student misbehaves, it is not
unusual for a school official to
notify the father's employer

Traditional academics are
taught, excluding courses such
as drivers education and typing.

Upon completion of the ten-
year program, students may
qualify for higher education.

After taking entrance exams, a
student may attend either a large
state university or an institute of
specialized training. The
government views education as
an overall plan of making
numerous stipends available in
those fields which need
graduates. Unlike the American
School system, costs are minimal.

Tuition is paid usually through
Some children are allowed to stipends. Dorm and book fees
attend schools with intensive average three dollars a month

Winter '77

Agnes Scott copes with energy problem

The energy crisis has been on
everyone's mind lately,
especially during the past few
weeks. There have been threats
from the utility companies of
turning off customers' heat,
many lists of helpful hints on
conservation floating around
and, of course, constant com-
plaints of either being too warm
or too cold. So the question
naturally arises: what is Agnes
Scott doing about the energy
problem? John Hugg, of ASC's
Physical Plant, had some answers
to that question.

First of all, Mr. Hugg explained
a big problem Agnes Scott faces
in conserving energy. This
problem is that most of the
buildings are fairly old and were
built at a time when energy
conservation never entered the
mind of their builders. So, the is-
sue is trying to correct these inef-

ficiencies, which is a very costly
and time-consuming job. The
cost in relation to "pay-back"
is considered intensely before
making any corrections.

One recent improvement is
the installation of automatic con-
trol valves on Main, Buttrick and
Rebekah. This enables each
building's heat to be controlled
separately. Before this im-
provement, one of the main fuel
problems of the school was the
fact that all the buildings were on
one line of steam heat. This
meant, for example, that if
Main's heat was cut down after a
certain time in the mornings,
then the heat to Buttrick would
also be cut down. These in-
dividual control valves on each
building will help immensely
with fuel costs and will also allow
each building to be metered in
its consumption of fuel. These

devices will be installed on other
buildings soon.

Another problem with having
old buildings is that many of the
radiators are old and will not
even shut off. Many of these
have already been removed
from Main, Rebekah and Inman.

One particular problem is
concerning Winship. The heat-
ing there is strictly up to the
student, since they have in-
dividual "motel-like" controls.
Thus, Winship tends to use a lot
more heat than the other
dormitories.

Items such as repairs to old
equipment, installation of
automatic door closers on ex-
terior doors, repairs of cracked
panes and application of
weather stripping have been
done on some of the buildings
already and are being done on
others. Additional insulation was

added to several of the buildings
during the summer im-
provement program. And, of
course, smaller items are being
improved, such as substituting
burned out lights with lower
wattage bulbs, along with
installation of time clocks on ex-
terior campus lighting and
replacing incadescent lighting
with more efficient fluorescent
lighting in certain areas. Many
modifications have also been
made to the steam heating
system.

Since the oil embargo of 1973,
fuel cost to the school has
steadily increased. Mr. Hugg,
states that along with this in-
creasing cost, ASC has also
added to the load the past
several years, by adding air con-
ditioning units to many of the
older buildings which did not
formerly have them.

To give you some idea of the
increased cost of fuel, here are
some figures. Electricity costs
have increased approximately 10
to 15% over last year's costs. As
for gas, the school has not been
supplied any since November
and won't receive it again until
April. During these cold months,
fuel oil is used, which is three
times as expensive as the gas. In
April, when the school will again
be using gas, the cost will have
increased 15% since November
of last year. Even the cost of
water went up over 20% in
January.

Mr. Hugg said that an official
school policy on energy
conservation is in the making. In
the meantime, he urges students
to be conscious of the problem
and keep lights off and heating
down where possible.

Participate in Soph
Parents' Weekend

Next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, February 17-19, Agnes Scott
will host over 200 parents. The big event is Sophomore Parents'
Weekend, eagerly anticipated by members of the sophomore class
as an opportunity to introduce their parents to college life. Yet it is
important that the entire college community participate in the
weekend's activities. If parents are to acquire an accurate im-
pression of Agnes Scott, they must meet students from all classes as
well as faculty and administration.

Sophomore Parents' Weekend brings with it several events of
interest to the entire campus. The Dolphin Club performance and
the Creative Arts Production will be presented for the campus on
Thursday night. Students from all classes have invested time and ef-
fort in these productions and would appreciate our support. During
the special convocation on Friday, parents will have the opportunity
to participate in a gathering of the entire college community.
However, they will not reap the full benefits of this experience if the
campus does not attend this convocation. The faculty is invited to
have dessert with sophomores and their parents on Saturday
afternoon. By their presence, professors will demonstrate to
parents their interest in the students.

Visiting parents will be invited to attend classes on Friday and
Saturday, thus enabling them to become acquainted with other
students and professors in a classroom setting. Their presence will
add a new dimension to the class, and the experience should be
interesting, if nothing more. Most parents have been out of the clas-
sroom for several years. Faculty and students are urged to proceed
as usual in order to assure that aprents receive a realistic view of the
class and its participants.

I am assured that Agnes Scott students, faculty, and ad-
ministration will treat visiting parents with courtesy. Hopefully we
will also make an extra effort to be friendly and helpful, answering
any questions honestly and participating in the activities of
Sophomore Parents' Weekend. Visiting parents will acquire a dis-
tinct impression of the college community. WE are the college com-
munity, and Agnes Scott will be judged on the basis of our interest
and participation or lack of it.

Dear Editor:

I'm writing this letter to ex-
press my personal feelings
concerning the writing on the
wall in Buttrick last Wednesday,
February 2.

We as students ask to be
treated as mature and
concerned adults, and to be
heard as we express our
opinions (we even expect it),
yet such a childish act only
stands to hurt the efforts of
tho^e students who are
attempting to make their

opinions known in a construc-
tive manner. Besides ac-
complishing nothing except to
expose the fact that some
women at Agnes Scott can act
as four year olds, the writing
had to be cleaned for hours by
members of our custodial
services. Is this fair?
Sincerely,

Cindy Hodges, Senior

To the editor:

The Admissions Staff wants to
thank the Agnes Scott Com-

Honor Emphasis
speech printed

(Editor s note: The following is
the text of the speech given by
Ms. Susan Skinner Thomas on
January 31 at 11:30 a.m. in
Rebakah Reception Room. Her
speech, part of Honor Emphasis
week, has been requested by a
number of students to have in
written form. The Profile is glad
to publish this speech, but
because of length it must be
completed next week.)

I'm glad that Lynn mentioned
my architectural studies at Ga.
Tech. It seems that for some
unknown reason, I acquired a
reputation as somewhat of a
prankster in my years at Agnes
Scott. I also enjoyed having
cook-outs or bar-b-ques to bring
people together and keep up
campus morale. Somehow in
building this reputation, the
aspect of student and scholar was
left out. My senior year, I went to
see Miss Gary about possibly
attending graduate school. Well,
after a 15 minute interlude of
laughter, she asked "Skinner,
what are you going to study?"
more laughter "I don't know
of any masters programs in cook-
outs or practical jokes!" I hope
Miss Gary turned out a better
product than she thought. But I
still like cook-outs!

It 's very much of an honor and
privilege to be with you during
Honor Emphasis Week. Ole
"Agony Spot" is very near and
dear to my heart it's someth-
ing that once it gets into your
system you just can't shake it it
becomes a part of you. In fact, I
daresay that one's experience
here molds, shapes, and sculpts
some very fine and special
personalities.

I guess you sometimes tire of
hearing how great and
wonderful this college is, but
when something is truly good,
enough cant be said. A
Founders Day speaker once said
how important it was to strive for
excellence, to maintain high
standards, to accept greater res-
ponsibilities, because Agnes
Scott was a special and unique
type of school. Why? What is so
special about this institution?
What sets us above and beyond
the rest?

One factor is purpose. From
our establishment in 1889, we
were given a definite purpose.
Agnes Scott was to be a women's

liberal arts college, -based on
Christian principles, for
development of well-rounded
individuals. An intellectual,
spiritual, physical, and social
development. You see, there is
really no room for mediocrity
here. Fortunately, it is not
allowed. I quote the Student
Handbook: "The standards of
scholarship at Agnes Scott
revolve around the search for
truth through the tradition of
honor, fearlessness of purpose,
efficiency of performance, and
avoidance of shams or short-
cuts." Thorough the tradition of
honor. That's what it's all about.
Honor. It is the glue that holds
the system together, the
cornerstone of this institution. It
is within this framework of res-
ponsibility that we first begin to
realize our own personal poten-
tials and limitations. It is in striv-
ing for group integrity that we
begin to achive individual
integrity of character. I don't
think that honor can be overem-
phasized.

Webster defines integrity as
soundness, honesty, com-
pleteness ... a quality or state of
being undivided. Is this someth-
ing to be ignored soft-pedled,
[sic] maybe even changed? NO. I
take the stand that honor is an
absolute. Our honor system, our
group integrity cannot be com-
promised.

What is one of the first things
told a prospective student about
our community, our way of life
here? The Honor System . . . self-
scheduled exams, trust. The first
pledge taken by incoming
freshmen is the honor pledge.
With her signature, a student
accepts the Honor system as her,
quote, "way of life." And I think
it should be said that a com-
mitment like this is fundamental
not only to your brief story here
but to all future experiences.

The fact that Agnes Scott has a
working, viable honor system is
one of her best assets. It is with
this background that we can tell
prospective students, that we
can say to incoming freshmen,
that although steeped in
tradition, we are not afraid of
tomorrow, because we have
seen the past, and we love the
present.

(To be continued next week )

munity for its support during
the January 30-31 Open House.
Eighty-seven prospective
students attended - 47% had
not applied prior to the activity.
Comments from the visitors
were overwhelmingly positive
with constant praise for the
people of Agnes Scott.
Students, faculty and ad-
ministrators who sat on panels,
faculty who welcomed guests
in their classes, students who
hosted the visitors, and
members of the Student Ad-
missions Council who planned
and implemented the activities
are all to be especially thanked.
And thanks to the countless
students who by their sup-
portive words helped the high
school seniors with their
college decision. Again it is
evident that the College and
her people are their own best
representatives.

New York, It took two banks
and three tries, but a young
robber finally got a teller to
take him seriously.

Police said the persistent
thief first showed up at the
National Bank of North
America on Wall Street. After
waiting in line, he presented a
note demanding money to a
teller who ignored him.

Undeterred, he tried his note
on a second teller who also
refused to hand over any cash
and instead activated an alarm.

Getting nowhere, the young
man walked out, circled the
block to Pine Street where
Chemical Bank has its head-
quarters. Inside, he tried his
note once again. This time the
teller handed over about
$2,300, police said.

The man, estimated to be 21
or 22, walked away with his
haul. He showed no weapon
and no one was injured.

Jena, La. A grand jury will
investigate charges that a
woman, furious about a $20 in-
crease in her natural gas bill,
whacked the mayor over the
head. Police said Glenda Rose,
29, posted a $750 bond after be-
ing charged with aggravated
battery and assault.

Mayor Orland Sandifer said
he "lost half a pint of blood"
when an irate woman refused
to accept his explanation of the
gas increase and hit him with an
unknown object.

The mayor said he told the
woman a increase in the
wholesale price of gas caused
increases in all residential and
industrial bills, but she
wouldn't accept the ex-
planation.

of the Atlanta Arts Alliance and
Georgia State University. Dance
Atlanta was established to bring
major dance companies to
Atlanta on a non-profit basis.
Dance Atlanta has received fun-
ding assistance from the Georgia
Council for the Arts and the
National Endowment for the
Arts.

Jose Limon, a Mexican by
birth, danced with the Doris
Humphrey - Carles Weidman
Company from 1930-1940.
Following a stint in the army dur-
ing World War II, Limon es-
tablished his own company with
Doris Humphrey as artistic direc-
tor and choreographer, an as-

sociation which continued until
Humphrey's death in 1958. The
Limon Company was the first
dance company to be sent
abroad by the U. S. Department
of State. Since its first tour of
South America in 1954, it has
made numerous international
tours under State Department
sponsorship.

Under the leadership of Ruth
Currier, who became artistic
director a.'.jr Limon's death in
1972, the company has main-
tained the extensive Limon
Repertoire and has
reconstructed several Hum-
phrey works which had not been
performed in recent years. Ms.
Currier was a leading dancer
with the Limon Company for
many years, and served as
choreographic assistant to Doris
Humphrey from 1951 until 1958.

The program for the Saturday
evening, February 12 concert in
Symphony Hall will include
Limon's most famous piece, The
Moor's Pavane, which was
created in 1949 and is based
loosely on the jealousies and
tensions of the Othello story.
None of the works scheduled for
the February 12 concert have
been seen before in Atlanta.

Tickets for the performance
are $4, $5, and $6, and are on sale
at the Atlanta Memorial Arts
Center box office, 892-2414.
Students under 21 are entitled to
a $1 discount on any price ticket.

Rep reports

Liquor policy discussed

The Representative Council
meeting of February 8, which
heard discussion of the
Alcoholic Beverage Policy and
student evaluation of faculty
members, was presided over by
Vice-President Debbie Smith.

Rep Council member Carol
Corbett presented the results of
the questionnaire on the
Alcoholic Beverage Policy. Res-
ponse was unusually good, 293
members of the student body
filled out and returned the form.

This figure does not include Hay
Students. A complete break-
down of the results by classes will
be presented later, but in
general the results were as
follows: to the question "Are
you satisfied with the present
policy?" 35% responded 'yes,'
and 65% responded 'no.' Eighty-
three per cent of the students
responding wanted to see the
policy made more liberal. Thirty-
one per cent have stored liquor
on campus, and 23% have drunk

illegally on campus.

The issue of student evaluation
of faculty was also discussed.
Many Rep members were
concerned with the attitutde of
the faculty towards being
evaluated. The point was made
that whole-hearted support
from the faculty will be necessary
if any system of evaluation is to
be effective. Rep will look into
the attitudes of the faculty
before attempting to act on the
possibility of student evaluation.

How to prepare successfully
for examinations

DEVLLOP A CONFIDENT AT-
TITUDE

Tests do serve a purpose. They
give you an opportunity to check
your progress. Students who
have formed good study habits
throughout the term should be
confident. Exams will help your
understanding of important
ideas and your ability to express
them.

ORGANIZE PRE-EXAM HOURS

1. The day before an exam,
review a maximum of three
hours. Question yourself as you
review. Reread text passages
only when you have difficulty
remembering them.

2. Eat andslecp well so that you
are refreshed for the exam.

J. Get up early to avoid rushing
on the morning of the test.

4. Shower, have a good break-
fast, exercise, go for a walk.

5. Take a last look at your sum-
mary notes, unless it makes you
nervous.

6. Be sure you have all the sup-
plies you need.

7. Arrive in the examination
room a few minutes early.
PACE THE EXAM CAREFULLY

Listen to the instructions and
read through the entire test.
Organize your thoughts.

Budget time for each question. .
They might be equal in scoring,
so answer the easy ones first.
Remember to number the
answers to match the questions.

Think carefully about one
question at a time. Your first
sentence should be clear and
contain some, if not all, of the
main points in your answer.

by AAP Student Service

lot down key words as guides.
Indent paragraphs, number
points under each heading, or
make a rough diagram or
outline.

Write legibly. If the instructor
cannot read your work easily,
your mark might suffer.

Short-form or objective ques-
tions demonstrate your ability to
recognize details and your ability
to choose among alternatives.
Pay attention to key words like:
all, none, never, might, should.
Avoid leaving blanks, an answer
might be correct even though
you are not sure. An omission
will probably count against you.
In multiple choice, cross out
what you know is wrong and
think about what is left. Be sure
to completely erase if you
change an answer.

Essay questions test your
ability to express yourself, to
interpret and organize material.
Important clue words will in-
dicate what or how much your
instructor is asking for. The ones
most frequently used are:
analyze, compare, contrast,
criticize, define, describe, dis-
cuss, elaborate, enumerate,
evaluate, explain, illustrate,
interpret, justify, list, outline,
prove, relate, review, state, sum-
marize, trace. Each one of these
terms calls for a specific type of
material, so think about their
meanings in advance.

finish each question as best
you can and go on to the text.
Leave room at the bottom of
each answer for possible ad-
ditions later.

Make answers as concise and
clear as possible. Try not to
repeat yourself.

Reread everything carefully.
You might have left out a key
word or want to add other
points.

REASSESS YOUR WORK

When you receive your grades
and get back exam books, read
your answers. Compare them
with your textbook and class
notes. If you don't understand
your instructor's marks, ask him
where you went wrong. Learn by
your mistakes and go on to the
next phase of college work.

ACNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, CA.-

February 18, 1977

Founder's Day

Alston to address college

Dr. Wallace M. Alston will be
the Founder's Day speaker on
February 23 at 11:15 a.m. in
Presser Hall. Dr. Alston,
theologian and President
Emeritus of Agnes Scott, was the
third president of ASC and
served from 1951 to 1973.

Dr. Alston will speak on Col.
George Washington Scott, the
founder of Agnes Scott College.

Col. Scott lived in Decatur dur-
ing the last half of the 19th cen-

tury and used part of the fortune
he had made in commercial
fertilizer to finance the school. In
1889, he and Reverend Frank
Henry Gaines, who was pastor of
Decatur Presbyterian Church,

established an academic school
for girls, the Decatur Female
Seminary. The Seminary was
renamed the Agnes Scott
Institute the next year in honor

Dig your
own roots

A recent graduate of the U.S.
Department of Archives'
Institute for Genealogical
Research, has put together a
Family History "Starter Kit" for
persons interested in delving
into their own family's history.

Phaon Sundiata of Annapolis,
Maryland who put together this
Kit originally for Afro-Americans
found, as a result of appearing on
several TV programs, that the
response from European-
Americans (or white Americans)
was as great as that from black
Americans. Because of this turn
of events, Mr. Sundiata
developed a "Starter Kit" for
European-Americans also. It was
necessary to compose two
different Kits because of the
difference in research techni-
ques that must be used when
searching for family documents
recorded on a governmental

level prior to the year 1865.

Mr. Sundiata who, himself, is
researching the "Barksdale" line
of his family's ancestry has found
that the original Barksdales who
settled in Virginia were from
England and that in addition to
being a prominent land and
slave-owning clan they also en-
joyed a reputation as being a
charitable and energetic folk,". .
. worthy of the trust of the
people." Sundiata's great-
grandfather worked on the plan-
tation of William Peter Barksdale
of Halifax County, Va., and it is
this family's records that must be
sought next.

Any Americans interested in
tracing their family's history may
receive some helpful hints by
writing Mr. Sundiata at Eastport

Westervelt teaches
in Mexico

During his fall sabbatical this
year, Robert Westervelt, assistant
professor of art, studied and
taught at the Institute Allende in
Mexico. He was accompanied by
his wife and daughter. Mr.
Westervelt made bronze castings
and also taught a course entitled
"History of American Painting."

The Institute Allende in San
Miguel de Allende in the state of
Guananjuato was once a
governor's palace. It was

transformed into an arts center
by the wife of the late governor
and offers three areas of concen-
tration: an art program provid-
ing the opportunity for elaborate
weaving, jewelry, print-making,
sculpture, painting and
photography; a writing center;
and a Spanish language program
offering degrees.

Mr. Westervelt hopes to take a
group from Agnes Scott to the
Institute Allende.

and conferred its first degrees
that same year. During the past
88 years, over 9,000 women have
attended Agnes Scott.

Dr. Alston has served on many
educational and church boards,
including the National Com-
mission on Accrediting, the
Board of World Missions of the
Presbyterian Church, U.S., and
on the board of trustees of the
Atlanta Westminster Schools and
of Columbia Theological
Seminary.

Before Dr. Alston came to
Agnes Scott in 1951, he served as
pastor of two Atlanta churches,
the Druid Hills Presbyterian
Church and the Rock Springs
Presbyterian Church.

Etzioni to speak on society

Noted Columbia University
sociologist Dr. Amitai Etzioni will
be speaking at Agnes Scott,
February 28 at 8:15 in Presser
Hall. His topic will be: "Man,
Society and Culture in the Next
50 Years."

Dr. Etzioni will focus on struc-
tures of control and
coordination that are evolving in
organizations and the im-
plications for human personality
and societal organization.

Dr. Etzioni is director of the
center for Policy Research, Inc.

Rep reports

He has consulted for
government agencies as well as
for a large number of local
governments and municipalities.

Among his research projects are
studies for the U.S. Department
of Labor, the National Science
Foundation and the President's
Commission on the Causes and
Prevention of Violence.

Dr. William Weber, Associate
Professor of Economics at Agnes
Scott, was Dr. Etzioni's Research

seminar dealing with the topic

Alcoholic beverage
RC discussed

At the Rep meeting of
February 15, Evelyn Babcock
reported on her conversation
with Dean Gary concerning
faculty evaluation. Apparently
the computer questionnaire
currently available for use by
faculty members is the form
which they prefer. These are
standardized nationwide forms
with space allowed for each
department to add specialized
questions.

The stated purposes
of these evaluation ques-
tionnaires are for the professor's
own use in assessing student
opinion, and for use by the ad-
ministration as an aid in

determining raises, etc. It was
suggested that Rep write a
recommendation asking the
faculty to make use of the
evaluations for both of these
purposes.

Most of the meeting was spent
in discussion of a proposed
change in the campus alcoholic
beverage policy. This RC is in res-
ponse to the student opinion as
evidenced by the results of the
questionnaires. The RC will be
posted in the forms and on the
SGA bulletin board. Please read
it carefully and take your ques-
tions and comments to a Rep
member.

"The Sociology of Consumei
Behavior" in the spring of 1971.

In addition, Dr. Weber has had a
minor collaborative association
with Dr. Etzioni since leaving
Columbia, resulting in a in-
clusion of some of Weber's
research in the revised edition of
A Comparative Analysis of Com-
plex Organizations.

Dr. Etzioni has written widely
for professional and popular
journals here and abroad, in-
cluding The Wall Street Journal,
The New York Times and The
Washington Post. Books he has
written include The Active
Society: A Theory of Societal and
Political Processes, and A Com-
parative Analysis of Complex
Organizations and Political
Unification.

His work, "Genetic
Fix," a report and commentary
on a meeting of geneticists, was
nominated for the 1973 National
Book Award in Science. His
books have been reviewed in
major newspapers and journals,
including The New York Times
Review of Books, The American
Sociological Review, Foreign Af-
fairs, Psychiatry and Social
Sciences Review and American
Political Science Review.

Dr. Etzioni eanred his masters
from The Hebrew University in
Jerusalem and his doctorate
from the University of California
at Berkeley.

Editorial

Through the
past briefly

Each year Founder's Day comes and, unfortunately, goes almost
unnoticed. Many students may wonder a bitabout this college's his-
tory, particularly as to just who was this Agnes Scott, with whom we
are so intimately involved? In years gone by this was not such a
mystery Founder's Day was celebrated with a school holiday (!)
and a banquet complete with a skit starring George and Martha
Washington. Now, however, there is no banquet, skit, traditional
minuet, or holiday. All we have is Founder's Day convocation,
which may or may not have anything to do with our history. So the
wondering students just keep wondering.

In view of this, the Profile presents for your edification and en-
joyment a (very) brief history of what we know so well as Agnes
Scott College.

In 1799 a girl was born to the Irvine family of Ballykeel, County
Down, Northern Ireland who was given the name Agnes. At the age
of 17, in 1816, Agnes and her mother left Ireland and came to the
United States. Agnes Irvine married John Scott, a prosperous
businessman of Alexandria, Penn. Agnes and John Scott has seven
children. Their fourth child was born on Feb. 22, 1829 and named
George Washington Scott after the president whose birthday he
shared. George was not healthy as a child, so in 1850 at the age of 21 ,
he left Pennsylvania and headed for Florida, hoping that the milder
climate would be beneficial.

After the Civil War, Col. Scott came to live in Decatur and, like his
father, became very successful.

In 1889, at the urging of Dr. Frank Henry Gaines, pastor of the
Decatur Presbyterian Church, the Decatur Female Seminary was
organized. In its first year there were four teachers and 62 pupils, all
of grammar grades. Miss Nanette Hopkins, as Lady Principle,
presided over the Seminary which was held in a rented house.

Col. G. W. Scott, who was at this time (1890) an elder at Decatur
Presbyterian and the leading businessman of Decatur, bought five
acres of land and had erected on the site "what was at that time one
of the best educational buildings in the state," which we know to-
day as Agnes Scott Hall, or Main. Coo. Scott spent $112,250 on the
institute before presenting the deed as a gift to the trustees. Because
of his generosity, the name was changed to Agnes Scott Institute in
honor of Col. Scott's mother. The building was occupied in 1891.

By 1900 the curriculum at ASI had shifted, and the Institute had
become a standard school of secondary rank whose graduates
could be accepted without examination by the large eastern
women's colleges.

In 1906 Agnes Scott Institute divided into Agnes Scott College
with the authority to grant the B.A. and Agnes Scott Academy a
first class preparatory school. In 1907, only one year after it was
chartered for conferring degrees, Agnes Scott College became the
first accredited college in the state. In 1913 ail available space was
needed for the College, and the Academy was discontinued.

In 1925 the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa voted to establish a
chapter at Agnes Scott. The chapter was installed in 1926.

From the original one building which housed the library, dining
hall, dormitory, administration, classrooms, infirmary, and
residence for teachers, we have grown to a campus of over 100 acres
and 18 majqr buildings. Although it is always best to look to the
future rather than dwell in the past, an understanding of our history
should help all students to more fully appreciate Agnes Scott
College. Peggy Lamberson, editor

Dear Editor:

In your issue of February 4,
1977, appeared a letter signed by
President Marvin B. Perry Jr.,
containing certain allegations
about me.

In order not to complicate
matters at a time when the
A.A.U.P. is investigating the
matter of my tenure, I refrain
from making any formal reply to
all these allegations, even to
those that concern my private
life.

But I reserve the right to
answer them at a later time.
Sincerely,
Vladimir Volkoff
Associate Professor of
French and Russian

(Editor's note: The following
letter was sent to all Agnes Scott
personnel, and is being printed
here for the benefit of the
students.)

I am sure you are all aware that
the United States is facing a very

Julia's Child

tight fuel situation. In many sec-
tions of the country the supply of
fuel has neared crisis
proportions. In the Atlanta area,
shortages have involved prin-
cipally natural gas and electricity.
While energy fuels are not
always interchangeable, they are
directly interrelated as part of
the overall demand-supply
pattern.

The primary source of heating
fuel for Agnes Scott College is
natural gas; however, gas has not
been available to us for heating
purposes since early November.
Because of this interruptible gas
supply, the College is equipped
to burn fuel oil for its heating
purposes. I might add that the
cost of the fuel oil is more than
three times that of natural gas.

This source of fuel oil is also in
short supply in many areas. The
situation this winter involves a
shortage of fuels for electric
generation as well. Thus,
conservation of all energy use
will help to alleviate the overall
problem.

Twas the night
before midterms

by Julia Midkiff
'Twas the night before
midterm, and all through the
dorm, not a creature was stirring,
only one nurd. Her stockings
were strewn over the room
without care, and she hoped that
an "A" would soon be there. The
other students were tucked all
snug in their beds, while visions
of test questions danced in their
heads.

And the nurd in her T-shirt,
with book and pen, had just set-
tled down for a long night's
study. When out on the quad
there arose such a clatter, she
sprang from her desk to see what
was the matter. She threw up the
shade and threw open the win-
dow. The light of the fluorescent
lamps twinkled on the bare
ground below and gave the
empty campus an eerie glow.

When what to her wondering
eyes should appear, but a
Domino's delivery man and
double-cheese pepperoni. He
was riding a motorcycle, and he
called it by name. "Now, Betsy.
We must deliver this pizza to a
starving Scottie," he called. To
the top of the flag pole, to the
top of the dorm, they sprang
with flawless form.

And then in a twinkling, on the
roof she heard, the sputter and
coughing of each tiny cylinder.
She drew in her head and turn-
ing around, saw the pizza man
opening the door without a
sound. He was dressed all in
white, from his head to his toe,
and his chest was covered by a
large domino. He spoke not a
word, but went straight to his
work, laid out a large pizza and
Coke, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger upon his

lips and giving a nod, out the
door he slipped. He sprang to his
motorcycle, to his engine gave a
kick, and away he flew like Evel
Knievel. But she heard him ex-
plain as he drove out of sight,
"Happy midterms to all, and to
all good luck."

At Agnes Scott College there
are several measures which we
have already taken: the
installation of time clocks and
photo cells to control lighting
and air supply systems; recovery
of wasted steam condensate by
returning it to the heating plant;
reduction of lighting levels and
modifications to the building
mechanical systems. These are
but a few of our present energy
conservation measures. More
must be done.

In adopting an energy
conservation program I appeal
to you as members of the Agnes
Scott community to conserve on
all energy sources on campus
and in your homes.

As part of this program,
thermostats will be set at 68F in
winter and 76F in summer. Dur-
ing emergency situations the set-
tings may be lowered or raised.
The use of individual electric
heaters is discouraged. Heating
systems will be operated on
"night setback" where feasible
between the hours of midnight
and 6:00 a.m.

You cooperation is asked in
turning off lighting and other
electrical appliances when not
needed. This can be especially
effective during the hours of
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. when our
electrical peak load is reached.

A prerequisite for success of
any campus conservation
program is the enthusiastic sup-
port of the students, faculty, and
staff. All suggestions for energy
conservation are encouraged
and may be directed to Mr. jack
Hug in the Physical Plant Office.

Your cooperation in this effort
is appreciated.

Marvin B. Perry, Jr.

Honor Emphasis
speech continued

(Editor's note: The following is
the conclusion of Ms. Susan
Skinner Thomas' speech for
Honor Emphasis Week, the first
part of which was published in
the February 11 edition of the
Profile. The Profile is grateful to
Ms. Thomas for allowing us to
reproduce her speech in this
paper.)

Now commitment is essential
to our purpose and our Honor
System. As Will Rogers put it so
simply: "If you really believe in
what you're doing, you have
everything. If you don't
regardless of what you have, you
ain't got nothing!" If you are to
effectively maintain an Honor
System you must believe in it and
live it. Be believing in the system,
code, doctrine, we learn who we
are and where we stand. From
this we gain a reference point, a
base, a foundation from which to
build.

We are given, I suppose,
greater responsibility than most
more is expected of us. But
then, we can meet the challange.

Not only here on campus, but as
an effective influence, a con-
tributing member to other com-
munities.

And your influence will be felt
through careers, families,
volunteer work. One or all of
these will be your responsibility.

In a world where research,
technology, and academics back
ideas with fact, it should also be
remembered that people are
persuaded more by the depth of
our conviction, more by our own
enthusiasm, than by any proof
that we can offer. This does not
mean accept blindly. Instead,
there should be continual re-
valuation of the Honor System
with the goals of strengthening,
improving, and recommitting.

You don't just coast along
within an Honor System it's
common knowledge that the
only direction you coast is
downhill!

So our belief, our commitment
to the Honor System is

Children's play presented

When does the alphabet being
with the letter "o" and orange
become the only color? When
the Agnes Scott Theatre
Department presents the
children's play OPQRS February
19, 20 and 21.

In OPQRS, Otto, the dictator
of Ottoville, has such direct con-
trol over the life of the cillage
that he allows only one color,
orange, and changes the
alphabet to begin with the letter
"O", the first letter of his name.
The fun begins when a young
artist named Edward Johnson
wanders into town and cannot
understand why everything is

orange and why everyone is so
afraid to be themselves. Johnson
rekindles in the adults' minds the
^freedom of the past and incites
the younger, brainwashed
children to a non-violent
revolution.

OPQRS is a new script by
Madge Miller, dean of American
playwrights for children. The
play has just completed an ex-
tended run on the east coast in a
production by the Knickerty
Knockerty Players of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, the group for
which Miller has written several
of her most successful plays.

Network chills
and thrills

by Ralee Cafes

Network is one of the most
chilling films to come out in
recent years. It is more or less a
commentary on television and
the television years. The story
centers around a fictitious
network, UBS, where ratings
take precedence over taste and
human value. William Holden
and Peter Finch play the two
holdovers from the "good ol'
days" of television news, who are
eventually rooted out of a job
(Holden) and destroyed (Finch).
Faye Dunaway and Robert
Duvall are the two exponents or
"prophets" of "now" television.

The plot, although mere fan-
tasy, is frightening because it
leaves the moviegoer wondering
about the pwer and destiny of
television. I was especially as-
tounded by the film's statement
because I am a part of the so-
called television generation; we
all are. The people in the UBS
organization are so involved in
getting their ratings up and beat-
ing the other guy out that they
ultimately assassinate Finch (the
newscaster) in an attempt to
boost their ratings and destroy
the monster of prophecy they'd
created. Dunaway's Diana is
beautifully portrayed as a
woman who is more animal than
human. This creature lives by her
wits and merely plays at being

human. Here is Chafesky's video
child who has spent her entire
life as a part of the T.V.
magnetism. Her feelings and
emotions have been drummed
out of her, as proven in her affair
with Holden.

Holden gives a fine
performance as the aging and
only sane member of the UBS
staff. The most dynamic figure in
the entire film must be
recognized as the late Peter Fin-
ch. His characterization takes us
from the competent, Harry
Reasoner-type newscaster to the
insane, mystical prophet of the
future.

Chafesky uses several se-
quences to show the viewers'
reactions to television. One
instance is especially
provocative. Finch urges
everyone watching to get up out
of their chairs, go to the window,
and yell, "I'm mad as hell, and
I'm not going to take it
anymore!" We then see hun-
dreds of people doing just that.

The film does, unfortunately in
my opinion, use entirely too
much foul language and sexual
allusions. Perhaps this is neces-
sary in order to prove a point. If
you can put up with this excess, I
heartily recommend seeing
Network. It will really shake you
up.

Directing the play is Sarah
Ellen Hunter of Atlanta, a "return
to College" or "non-traditional"
student at Agnes Scott. Actors in
the play are: Bill Holt, Otto the
Dictator; Kevin Brooking, the
young artist: Don Johnston,
Peter the Prudent; Katrina Clif-
ford, Quilla the Quiet; Ralee
Cates, Stacia the Silly; and Sandy
Fowler; Rozelle the Rebellious.

Performances will be Saturday
and Sunday at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
and on Monday at 9:30 a.m. in
the Winter Theatre of the Dana
Fine Arts Building.

New play
opens at
Alliance

The Alliance Theatre Company
presents Ed Graczyk's new play,
COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND
DIME JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY
DEAN, opening February 24 and
running through March 12. It is
directed by Fred Chappell and
features special guest artist Fan-
nie Flagg.

Twenty years after the death of
movie idol James Dean, a group
of his original disciples meet to
renew their worship of him. One
by one they come over dusty
Texas roads to the H. L.
Kressmont Five and Dime, a
decaying dime store decorated
for the occasion with black crepe
and pictures of James Dean. And
one by one their past selves join
them on stage to recall their last
meeting twenty years earlier.
COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND
DIME JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY
DEAN will be in performance
February 24 through March 12.
Performances are Tuesday -
Saturday at 8 P.M., and at 2:30 on
Sunday. There will be an open
discussion after the Sunday
matinee on February 27 with
Fannie Flagg and other members
of the company. For reservations

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
until 12:30 a.m. They may ex-
ercise this privilege within a
specified area which includes
Tech, Emory, the movies in
Atlanta, the Atlanta terminal,
and 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. (ASC News,
january 21, 1948)

This didn't happen on cam-
pus but an entire American Lit
class got a kick out of it. We
love it. . . how a slightly erratic
Decatur poet willed that his
body be buried under his front
door steps so that anyone com-
ing to take his wife away would
have to do it over his dead
body!

(ASC News, October 5, 1949).
And then there's the un-

fortunate sophomore who
woke up in the middle of the
night with a terrible cold. Hop-
ing to relieve her misery, she
reached for the bottle of Vick's
salve on the table next to her
bed. While rubbing it on she
noticed that it seemed of a
peculiar consistency for a salve
and immediately started feel-
ing the bottle. Imagine her
great consternation on feeling
on theinsidethe well of a Script
ink bottle. (ASC News,
November 23, 1948).

The News Staff was quite
worried about one of its
colleagues last Monday night
when she finished a headline
and then misplaced it. All the
editor could say was "I've lost
my head! My head! Where is
it?" (ASC News, April 20, 1949).

"WHY?" screamed
everybody at the table when
one of the hostesses said that
she wanted the recipe for the
cake icing. They were fully
enlightened by her reply: "I
just want to be sure that I never
make any like it." (ASC News,
January 26, 1949).

spiritually as does hardening of
attitudes!

We at Agnes Scott have been
fortunate to have outstanding,
inspirational, and concerned
leadership in our faculty, staff,
and administration. I think it
necessary to point out that this is
where an Honor System comes
from. It comes from the top and
unless supported, talk-up, and
strengthened by the faculty and
administration, it is impossible
for an Honor System to survivive.
Agnes Scott as we know it cannot
exist without integrity this
soundness, unity this com-
pleteness.

The fact that we still have a
working Honor System speaks
well for the college and all those
involved with her. But it's just
like a business, one must work at
it to keep it from going bankrupt.

The Honor System may come
from the top, but it becomes
effective in the ranks. Its
promotion and enforcement
comes from the students
themselves. There is something
to be said for being obligated
and responsible to one's peers as
well as to one's self.

To support the Honor System
you must support each other.
And vice versa. To support each
other you must support the
Honor System. To get the most
out of Agnes Scott and your own
life, you must commit yourselves
to personal integrity and dis-
cipline you must set high goals

and standards follow up your
ambitions and interests.

Anything short of excellence is
unacceptable, not good enough.
Here you have every op-
portunity for total and full
development. The Honor System
allows for that.

If you fail to take advantage of
what is offered you here, then
you have missed the very
essence of education. Learning is
a journey, not a destination. And
you have just begun the trip.
Agnes Scott and her Honor
System is just helping you lay the
groundwork it is up to you to
assume the greater responsibility
in your own life, your com-
munity, and the world.

And I say world because you
are the hope of the future.
You've taken the road less
traveled on and it will make a
difference. From a modern
cliche' you are expected to
think like a man, dress like a
queen, speak like a lady, and
work like a dog! Don't disap-
point them! You have a special
and unique background coming
from Agnes Scott and you must
choose how you influence
wisely.

I would like to close with a
statement that I hope you will
take to heart while here at Agnes
Scott, within the Honor System,
and finally, on the outside.
Albert Schweitzer said: "The full
measure of a man is not to be
found in the man himself, but in
the colors and textures which
come alive in others because of
him."

You have your chance. Take it
and run.
Thank you.

week planned

Students who wish to make
course or section changes for
spring quarter will make such
changes on Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 1 and 2. All
changes are to be made in the of-
fice of the Dean of the Faculty.
Hours will be as follows: March 1
- 9:00-12:30; 1 :30-4:30, March 2 -
9:00-11:30; 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 the major card. This is
to be done before March 1. The
student will then take the major
card to Mrs. Petty or Mrs. Hud-
son in order to have the change
entered on her course card.

A junior or senior who wishes
to make a course or section
change that does not affect her
major may go directly to Mrs.
Petty or Mrs. Hudson.

A freshman or sophomore
should consult her faculty ad-
viser prior to making any course
changes. She is urged to see her
adviser before March 1. On
March 1 or 2, she will bring a
note approving changes to one
of the deans, who will then
authorize the changes on the
course card.

It is imperative that all course
changes for the spring quarter be
made on March 1 and 2. Tex-
tbook orders for the spring
quarter will be completed on the
basis of course enrollments as of
March 2. It is essential that they
be completed at that time in
order to avoid book delays and
shortages at the beginning of the
spring quarter.

The above information and

further scheduling details are

posted on the Official Bulletin

Board in Buttrick lobby.

On Tuesday, February 22 from
2:00 to 4:00 in the Hub,
representatives from several
graduate divisions of Georgia
State University will be available
to discuss their professional
programs. The Schools of Arts
and Sciences, Business, Urban
Life, and Education will be
represented. Also on February
22, at 7:30 p.m. in the McKinney
Room in Main, Miss Jackie
Stewart Divisional Training
Director at Davison's will con-
duct a seminar on careers in
merchandising for all interested
students. These representatives
are made available through the

by Cheryl Hiers
President Carter in his recent
fireside chat, warned that this
winter's fuel crisis is but a
prelude to "a permanent, very
serious energy shortage . . . (that
is) going to get worse instead of
better." Carter's words reflect an
attitudinal change not only in
politicians, but the public as well.
The unquestioning confidence
in technology to solve all
problems and maintain
America's frenzied progress, i.e.
producing more and consuming
more, has been jolted by The
Winter of 77 and the probability
that things aren't going to get
much better. Progress aside, the
question now is whether or not
we'll even be able to maintain
the status quo and keep the
thermostats from dipping bVow
66.

The President understands
what has been true forever and
ignored too long. The world is
finite and has only a limited
amount of resources, and if we
are to survive, we must use those

resources wisely and humanely.

In response to the fuel
shortage and the absolute neces-
sity of energy conservation, the
Georgia Public Research Group
(GPIRG) at Agnes Scott is plan-
ning an energy-awareness week.
Scheduled tentatively for the
first of May. the week will in-
clude such activities as guest
speakers on energy conservation
and legislature, and a specially
produced movie emphasizing
the individual's role in conserv-
ing not only energy, but other
finite resources as well. Written,
directed, and acted by GPIRG
members, the movie, "The
Wasteland" will focus on
conspicuous consumption on
the Agnes Scott campus.
Although the crisis is global,
GPIRG feels the solution must
begin with the individual. The
purpose of the energy week is to
increase the individual's
awareness of just what she can
do to help keep planet Earth
alive.

ACNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

February 25, 1977

Summer 77

Variety of Europe
programs offered

Plans for an exciting summer
are already being made by many
Scotties. But, if you are one of the
ones who have not quite
decided about your summer,
here are some ideas to consider
about a trip to Europe for learn-
ing and fun!

The Association for Cultural
Exchange of Cambridge,
England sponsors "British
Archeology" each year for
beginners as well as for more ad-
vanced students. The six-week
programs lasts from July 8 to
August 19.

The program begins with a
two-week seminar at Astor
College in London and at King
Alfred's College in Winchester.
The seminar consists of at least 40
hours of classwork, sup-
plemented by museum and field
visits to major archeological sites
in southern Britain. The next
three weeks are spent in prac-
tical excavation. The trip finishes

with 6 days at Astor College
again, where the student
prepares his excavation report
and has time for sightseeing.

The Association recommends
six hours of credit be granted by
the student's college, if she takes
an examination and completes a
written report on the excavation.
The student must rrange
beforehand with her individual
college whether or not credit
will be granted.

The price of $550 includes a
single room during the seminar,
"simple accomodation" during
the excavation, three mealsa day
(except for the first week in Lon-
don), tuition, and all visits. It
does not cover the cost of tran-
satlantic travel, insurance, tex-
tbooks, or the cost of travel to
London at the end of the ex-
cavation. Application deadline is
May 1, 1977. For further in-
formation and an application

Rep reports

The long-awaited results of the
vacation questionnaires were
presented at the Rep meeting of
Feb. 22. Of 200 responses. 73%
preferred the six weeks holiday.
17% preferred to return after
Thanksgiving for exams only,
and 5"<. preferred the current
calendar.

The rest of the meeting was
given to discussion of RC 177
concerning the drinking policy
on campus. Far too many valid
points were made to present

them all here, but several fre-
quently stated thoughts include:
the possibility of liberalizing the
policy beyond where it stands
now, and yet not going so far as is
stated in RC 177, the con-
tradiction in principle between
freshman curfew restrictions and
the freedom to drink in the
rooms, the fact that such policy
would allow everyone freedom
ot choice, and conversely, that
sue h freedom would infringe on
the rights of others.

Leakey, Kline, present forum

An all-day forum will be held
at the World Congress Center
auditorium presenting foremost
authority on early man, Richard
Leakey, on Saturday, March 26,
from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. The sub-
ject of the forum is "Violence
and the Nature of Man," and is
sponsored by the Atlanta
Chapter of the Foundation for
Research into the Origin of Man.
the Georgia Conservancy, the
Atlanta Historical Society and the
Atlanta Archeological Society.
The public is invited without
charge and no registration is re-
quired. Participating in the
program with Mr. Leakey is
Agnes Scott Professor Dr. C. Ben-
ton Kline who will answer ques-
tions, following the morning
presentation, regarding religious
views of man's origin, and
violence in man's nature.

Other noted speakers on the
program will be Dr. Glynn Isaac,
archeologist, of the University of
California at Berkeley. He has
been involved in archeological
excavations in Britain, France,
North Africa, and East Africa. Dr.
Isaac has published extensively
and is a leading authority on the
origins of culture. Also speaking
in the morning session is noted
philosopher Dr. Charles Frankel
of Columbia University in New
York. In addition to teaching at
Columbia University in New
York, Dr. Frankel has been As-
sistant Secretary of State.

The three morning speakers
will be approaching the subject
of violence in man's nature from
their own academic disciplines.
Dr. Kline and Dr. Robert Sellen,
historian at Georgia State
University, will comment on the
subject and ask questions of the
speakers. Mr. Leakey will show
that the archeological evidence
developed to date with respect
to man's early development
appears to indicate that our
earliest ancestors were
cooperative beings who shared
'ood, shelter and labor rather
than the innately aggressive,
killer-ape type of being
popularized by Robert Ardrey.
In fact, there is now scientific
evidence that Australopithecus
Boisei, the species on which
Ardrey based his

characterization, is not ancestral
to man. The Leakey discoveries
in East Africa date back some 3.5
million years and are the earliest
finds of the predecessor to
modern man. As no artifacts of
weapons were found at the site,
Mr. Leakey contends that
aggression is learned behavior
and that man is not innately a
violent creature. The aggressive
characteristics of man are the
product of man's environment,
Mr. Leakey says, and he bases
this on his fossil discoveries. He is

travelling around the world to
promulgate his belief in man's
common origin and common
destiny, and the problem of
man's survival as a species. He
says that man must learn to

cooperate in planning for our
future on this planet if our
species is to survive. The
problem is how to get people
thinking and working together

A humorous look
at jogging

by Mari Perez

Since I've attended Agnes
Scott, I have developed an
obsession with food. I, too, have
joined the millions who throng
to the diety of the DIET. I talk
about it, think about it, dream
about it, and eat regardless of it.

The other day as I sipped my
seventh Tav and complained
about "water weight", an im-
pudent soul remarked that I
should exercise to alleviate the
condition. "Exercise?" I asked.
"Why, me dear, I climb the stairs
in Buttrick at least twice a day!"
Having stated my case, I popped
a peanut M & M and grinned
around it.

Persistently she informed me
that running was excellent ex-
ercise and she herself ran
fourteen miles a day. I nearly
choked on my leman
"Starburst". I gawked at the
ninety-pound creature,
"Doesn't that make you
PERSPIRE?"

She finally convinced me that
perspiration was not fatal so I
agreed to work out with her that
afternoon. I cut the tags off my
sweatsuit, applied waterproof

makeup, sprayed my electric
curls, and marched to the gym.

My self-appointed coach was
waiting for me looking
disgustedly exuberant. I touched
my knees a couples of times to
stretch out. Starting around the
floor at a fast walk, I worked up
to a slow trot. Through the first
lap I bounced along quite
content. By the second lap. my
hair drooped, my tongue stret-
ched halfway to my chest, and
the ninety-pound wonder had
lapped me six times. On the third
lap my vision was too blurred to
see my life passing before me. I
was convinced I had developed
Leukemia coupled with bron-
chitis within the last two yards.
For the sake of survival. I decided
toslowdown and determindeclly
collapsed on the floor.

When I regained
consciousness, two delicate
kneecaps placed on long
Olympic legs stared me in the
face. "How do you feel?" she
asked. I raised my eyelids as best I
could, looked her straight in the
bottom of her nose and replied,
"Great, just great."

Student celebrates
Carnival

by Sandra Saseen
Last weekend I went to New
Orleans for the Carnival and had
the time of mv life! Although
Mardi Gras is over and the
solemn Lent season has begun,
I'd like to talk about Carnival and
the events that made it so special.

Carnival is a two week period
consisting of parades which lead
up to Mardi Gras which is the
Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
This year's Mardi Gras was Feb.
22.

There are two things that make
these parades different from
Rose Bowl parades or St. Patrick's
Day parades: first, they are put
on by private clubs, called
"krewes." the sole purpose of
nearly all of which is to stage
parades and put on balls during
Carnival. Second, what makes

these parades truly fun is that the
people who ride the floats throw
beads and specially-minted
coins called doubloons. I found
that people would particularly
scramble for the doubloons. No
wonder some of the
doubloons have acquired con-
siderable monetary value over
the years.

The doubloon-tossing and
trinket-tossing makes Carnival
parades participatory. Not only
could I gaze with wonder over
the exquisite costumes from the
Endymion parade or yell
greetings to King Bacchus
(Henry Winkler, "the Fonz"), but
I could jump for the beads and
doubloons. And "bumping" in
the street to the disco music of
the bands was a real treat.

Editorial

Profile/February 25, 1977

"Say au revoir announcing.
but not goodbye"

"Now its time to say goodbye / to all our company. . ." you know
it's really time to leave when you start quoting the Mousketeers. As I
have decided not to run for re-election as editor of the Profile, I
would like to take the opportunity to make a few last remarks.

First of all, I would like to apologize for the sometimes irregular
publication of this paper. As you know, practically all the boards
and associations dependent on SGA funds have, by necessity, been
working with very tight budgets this year. Our budget was second in
size only to the Silhouette's, and at that it was less than we had asked
for. The shortage was made more dramatic by the fact that our
publishing costs rose over the summer. As a result we have spent the
year on the brink of going in the red. We only avoided this because
of the care and perserverence of our business manager Frances
Wickes I only wish we could afford to give her a gold watch.

While I'm thanking people, I'd also like to thank associate editor
Sandra Saseen and arts/entertainment editor Ginny Lee. Both of
these ladies have sacrificed a great deal of time and energy, taken
from already busy schedules, in order to make this paper a success.
They have spent virtually every Monday night of the past school
year working on the Profile, in spite of tests, papers, performances,
or ill health. And, most admirable of all, they have uncomplainingly
put up with me.

My thanks go also to those staff members who have consistently
attended meetings, written articles (and handed them in on time),
and all for no more thanks or glory than their name in the masthead.
To do that you've either got to be dedicated or crazy.

Finally, I'd like to thank every individual student, faculty or staff
member who has expressed to me an opinion about this paper or
and issue discussed therein. And particularly to everyone who has
written a letter to the editor I most sincerely kiss your hand. It is
your comments, your concern, that aretheonly rewards for this job
your response alone makes us feel that this work is worthwhile.
As you know, we receive no school credit or pay, and there is not
journalism class from which to draw support. Therefore, we are
dependent for encouragement on the small number of individuals
who care enough to express their opinions to us.

This year has been very interesting and meaningful for me, and I
hope that in some way the Profile has helped to make it so for you,
also. The staff and I have tried very hard to make this paper both in-
formative and entertaining. If we have succeeded, or failed, only
you can let us know.

So long, farewell, adieu, and arrivederci amor. . .

VIENNA. About 60 third
graders went to a bank here to

unexpected lesson in bank
robbery instead.

"Have they stolen our money
now?" teachers said the children
asked after watching two masked

make off with $26,000.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. It
was not surprising that Pfc. Lon-
nie R. Sparhawk, 19, of
Paramount, Calif., was even-
tually caught by the Marine
Corps, which was looking for
him on charges he went AWOL.

It may be unusual that it took
investigators so long.

Sparhawk was arrested in a
dental chair at the base clinic, his
downfall was that he kept all his
dental appointments since
leaving, a Marine an-
nouncement said.

He fled last June.

ST. LOUIS. Former Agriculture
Secretary Earl Butz brought the
same sense of humor that made
him notable while in office with
him when he spoke to a farm
group.

Butz criticized AFL-CIO
President George Meany for op-
posing American grain sales to
the Soviet Union and said he
hopes Congress won't allow
farm policy to be strongly in-
fluenced by organized labor.

"I heard the suggestion the
other day that Jimmy Carter
make George Meany a cardinal;
then he would have to kiss only
his ring," Butz said.

COULEE DAM, Wash. Dewey
Mills of Coulee Dam is keeping
an eye on the sky for fish these

Mills was driving to an in-

eagle flying above him clutching
a large silver salmon.

As he watched, the struggling
fish jerked itself free and fell to
the street below.

Mills stopped the car, got out
and carried home a tasty dish.

NORTHEIM, West Germany.
Acting on calls from
flabbergasted motorists, West
German policemen assumed the
unaccustomed role of camel

Honor Court
case report

by Lynn Wilson
In response to concern the
campus community expressed
during Honor Emphasis Week,
Honor Court is publishing the
case load report which follows.
Since the campus is so small and
the board promises each in-
dividual who comes before them
that the cases are confidential,
the report cannot be specific.

During this board's term,
which began spring quarter,
1976, Honor Court has heard

Julia's Child

Test yourself
for insanity

twelve cases in the following
areas of jurisdiction: academic
dishonesty (examination
procedure violation, plagiarism,
cheating), lying in official
matters, stealing, and illegal
drugs. Penalties' ranging from
dismissal of the case to suspen-
sion have been recommended
by the board. Administrative
Committee has upheld Honor
Court's recommendations in
every case except one.

by lulia Midkiff
Many of us jokingly remind
one another that the first thing to
go in a student is his mind, and
may of us maintain that Agnes
Scott must hold all the awards in
producing mental deficiency. If
you have been wondering lately
about the stability of your mind,
here are some guidelines for
evaluation.

You know you have lost your
mind when:

1) During the last week of the
quarter you cannot remember
whether your P.E. class meets on
Tuesdays and Thursdays or on
Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.

2) You get up at 7 a.m. when
you have a cut in your 8:30 class.

3) You turn down a dinner in-
vitation for a Sunday night.

4) You have a sudden urge to
do a song-and-dance routine in

the library.

5) You forget to turn on your
radio as soon as you enter your
room.

6) You read the same chapter
twice.

7) You go to the circus and out
to dinner on the night before
your English paper is due when
you have not yet begun your
research.

8) It snows, and you do not
care.

9) You go into a test confident
that you will make an "A".

10) You come out of a test con-
fident that you made an "A."

The ultimate test of sanity is as-
king yourself this question: are
you beginning to enjoy
studying? If the answer is af-
firmative, you have become the
239,456,798th college student to
join the ranks of the hopelessly
insane.

A showing of a classic collection of seven current West German
films will be sponsored by the City of Atlanta Bureau of Cultural and
International Affairs, the Goethe Institute Atlanta and the Ansley
Film Forum. The films, believed to be the best West German films
made in the last six years, will be presented February 28 - March 6 in
Ansley Mall, 1544 Piedmont Avenue. This will be a first-time show-
ing in Atlanta for all the films, which are in German with English sub-
titles.

A retrospective of the works of the late Alexander Calder, widely
regarded as America s foremost sculptor and internationally
renowned, will open at the High Museum of Art. The exhibition,
which will open March 5 and continue on view through May 1 , will
contain over 200 of the artist's works including mobiles
(mechanized sculptures), stabiles (stationary constructions), tapes-
tries, oil paintings, jewelry and bronzes. The exhibition is based on
the book Calder's Universe which is published by Viking Press, and
will serve as the exhibition catalogue. The showing was organized
with a generous grant from the Champion International
Corporation and is presented in Atlanta with the sponsorship of the
Members Guild of the High Museum of Art and the City of Atlanta.

Colony Square is hosting an exhibition of the work of Atlanta
artist Hans Gogo Frabel, who is re eiving widespread acclaim and is
represented in several museums in the United States and abroad,
plus many private collections. Among his contemporary and
traditional pieces shown are a crystal donkey, the original of which
sits on the desk of President Carter in the Oval Office, and a crystal
eagle which has just returned from an extended echibition in
Toledo, Ohio. Former Vice-President Rockefeller gave a similar
Frabel eagle to the people of Berlin from the people of the United
States. It is now in the City Hall of Berlin. Theexhibition,open to the
public at no charge, will be in the 400 building of Colony Square,
Mall level, from February 24 through March 6.

miscellaneous

The Atlanta Alumnae Clubs of Agnes Scott College is sponsoring
the third annual Golden Needle Award Festival, a juried show of
needlepoint and embroidery by women, men, and children
throughout the southeast. The show will be at Rich's downtown
auditorium February 23-26. On view in the celebrities section,
which will not be judged, will be needlepoint and crocheting by
members of President Carter's family. Also needlepoint copies of
four of Picasso's most famous paintings may be seen. Created by
Herb Mesick of New York City, the Picasso needlepoint pieces were
copied from sketches and color photographs of the paintings.

The Agnes Scott College
theatre department presents
four one-act plays by contem-
porary playwrights on Friday and
Saturday, February 25 and 26.
The plays are Harold Pinter's "A
Slight Ache," Noel Coward's
''Fumed Oak," Maxwell
Anderson's Act III of "Mary of
Scotland," and Lawrence
Osgood's "Pigeons." All four
plays will be presented both
nights beginning at 8:15 p.m. in
the Winter Theatre of the Dana
Fine Arts Building. The
performances are FREE.

Pinter's "A Slight Ache" is
directed by Elaine Williams and
features Rick Broil, Larry Hep-
burn, and Lynda Harris. The play

tells the story of a mysterious
matchseller who appears at the
back gate of the home of a mid-
dle-aged, upper-class British
couple. He casts a sense of dread
over the husband, while
awakening in the wife memories
of more romantic past.

In Noel Coward's "Fumed
Oak," actor Bruce Schultz
portrays Henry Gow, who
declares independence from his
imprisonment as head of an
irritating and unpleasant middle-
class English family. The play is
directed by Annette Cook, and
features Evadne Regan, Kim
Clark, and Linda Mclnnis.

Historical figures come alive in
Act III of Maxwell Anderson's

"Mary of Scotland." The
intensely emotional scene
depicts a confrontation between
Queen Elizabeth I of England
and her prisoner Mary, Queen of
Scots. Grace Haley and Jenny
McWilliams star in the drama,
which is directed by Sylvia
Foster.

Theatre of the absurd is found
in Osgood's "Pigeons," directed
by Carole Langston. Three
women, portrayed by Holly
Bennet, Nancy Campbell, and
Mimi Holmes, meet in New York
City in a vacant lot filled with
junk. The play centers around
paranoia, dominance, sub-
mission, and other contem-
porary fears.

'Riders to the Sea"

Vaughan Williams' opera performed

The Agnes Scott College
Music and Theatre Departments
on March 3 present the one-act
opera "Riders to the Sea" by
Ralph Vaughan Williams. The
free, public performance is at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall at Agnes
Scott.

"Riders to the Sea" will be
performed in English to full
orchestration by the Georgia
State University Orchestra. The
opera will be conducted by John
Sumrall of the Georgia State
University music department.
Musical and artistic director is
Janet Stewart, Agnes Scott voice
instructor, and stage director is
Jack Brooking, chairman of the
Agnes Scott theatre department.

"Riders to the Sea," a story of
human endurance in the face of
nature, was originally a play by
Irish dramatist John Synge. The
opera, according to Janet
Stewart, is considered to be one
of Vaughan Williams's outstan-
ding achievements. Stewart des-
cribes the opera as "a music-
drama in which the music is
perfectly attuned to the text and
the rhythm of the music is in-
fluenced by the Irish speech
cadence."

The story centers on the last
surviving members of a fishing
family on the west coast of
Ireland. The central tragicfigure,
the mother Maurya, and her two
daughters, Cathleen and Nora,

Joan Fontaine to give
dramatic presentation

Oscar-winner Joan Fontaine
will give a dramatic presentation
entitled "My Favorite Roles" on
Monday, March 28, at 8:15 p.m.
in Gaines Auditorium. There will
be a reception following.

Miss Fontaine was born Joan
de Beauvoir de Havilland in
Tokyo, Japan, where her father,
Walter de Havilland, was a patent
attorney and Professor of English
and French at the Imperial
University. Her mother, Lilian
Ruse, was a graduate of the Royal
Academy of Dramatic Art in Lon-
don. Mrs. de Havilland and her
two daughters, Olivia and Joan,
later settled in Saratoga,
California, where Joan studied
painting, dramatics, music, and
ballet along with her school
curriculum.

Miss Fontaine launched her
career playing the ingenue in
"Kind Lady" with May Robson.
Soon followed a similar role in
"Call it a Day." She was seen in
this role by movie producer Jesse

Lasky, who signed her to a long-
term film contract. After brief
parts in films with Joan Crawford
and Katherine Hepburn, she
took the name Fontaine on the
advice of a fortune teller and
starred in a series of "B" films,
which she feels gave her better
training and experience than all
the dramatic classes she had
attended.

Later Miss Fontaine landed the
role of "I" Winter in "Rebecca."
The film won the Academy
Award in 1940, giving her an
Academy nomination plus the
New York Motion Picture Critics
Award as well as the Canadian.
For her film "Suspicion" she won
the Oscar, while "Constant
Nymph" gave her another
Academy nomination. Other
well-known films of Miss Fon-
taine's Career are "Jane Eyre,"
"This Above All," "Island in the
Sun," "Tender is the Night/' and
"September Affair."

try to discourage Bartley, the last
surviving son, from going by
boat to sell his horses at a fair. An
older brother has been missing
on the sea for several days, and
Maurya has a premonition that
her last son will also be lost on
the sea.

The role of Maurya is a mezzo-
soprano, performed by Ann
Conrad, Agnes Scott senior
music major. Cathleen, a mezzo
soprano, is sung by Hope
Lamade, Agnes Scott senior
music major from Morrow, Ga.
Nora, a soprano, is sung by Joy
Cunningham, Agnes Scott
senior. Bartley, a baritone, is
sung by guest performer Burt
Mashburn, an Emory Univeristy
music student. A soprano and
alto chorus of mourners is made
up of Agnes Scott vocal students,
Angela Carter, Jean Cho, Debby
Daniel, K. C. Docie, Peggy
Emrey, Julie Johnston, GinnyLee,
and Genyne Long.

The Profil

-ACNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.-

March 23, 1977

SGA President

The candidates for President
of the Student Government As-
sociation are Kaki Manning and
Betty Philips. Below are their
replies to questions on their can-
didacy:

What are your qualifications for
the position of SGA President?
Manning: I feel I'm qualified for
the position of SGA President
because I have the desire and
ability to work hard at being SGA
President, and I also see the
students' need and concern for a
strong, effective leader. I have
been in positions of leadership
and responsibility as a freshman
at Converse College and as a
member of the Agnes Scott
student body. While at Converse
I was Freshman representative to
Honor Court and I was the
Freshman's Representative to
the South Carolina State Student
Legislature. As an Agnes Scott
student I have served as a
member of the Committee on
Academic Problems, as the
Rebekah dorm Rep Member, I
was junior class chairman of
Black Cat, Chairman of a
Sophomore Parents' Weekend
Committee for Saturday coffee,
and I have been a member of
Spirit Committee.
Philips: I served as a sophomore
representative on Honor Court,
which gave me a clear perspec-
tive on and an appreciation for
the Honor System, which is such
a vital part of Agnes Scott. Serv-
ing as treasurer of SGA this past
year has given me a chance to
broaden my perspective on
Agnes Scott as a whole and to
work specifically with student
government. I feel the discipline
and responsibility required of
me in both of these positions
qualifies me to run for SGA
President.

What do you think of your
system of student government?
Would you work for any changes
in the present system? If so,
what?

Manning: Rep Council is for all
Agnes Scott students both
boarders and day students. But
unfortunately Rep'has not used
her granted powers to their
fullest potential. This is a fault of
both the student body and Rep
Council itself: (1) Students often
fail to voice their opinions
because they think nothing will
come of them, thus they quit
before they try to be heard, (2) if
they voice their opinion they
often fail to channel it into the
right committee, and (3) students
may voice their opinions to Rep
members but are ignored.
Therefore, we need to open up a
stronger communication system
between the students and their
representative body so that
students will know where to go
to be heard and to get their goals

accomplished. The students and
Rep members must work more
closely together in order to
achieve a more usable student
government system and a more
open communication system.
This could be achieved through
(1) greater use of dorm Rep
members in holding informal
question and answer periods in
the dormitories, (2) the setting
up of a Rep table at lunch where
everyone can come and sit to ask
questions, give suggestions, and
to get better acquainted with the
Rep members, (3) more student
participation in the "Rep
meetings themselves, and, (4) in-
formal student body parties in
the Hub, LDH,or the quadrangle
to discuss campus-wide issues.
Philips: I feel that our system of
student government is good with
the division of power among Rep
council, Honor Court and
Interdorm, providing a workable
network for getting things done.
The set up of the different boards
on campus is also good because
responsibilities, which I have
often seen mainly concentrated
in the representative councils in
other schools, are delegated,
and can thereby be handled
more effectively. I think there is
always a need for re-evaluation
of the system, the different
boards on campus and student
government committees,
because periodically needs can
change, and we must be willing
to make adjustments. The con-
solidated treasury is a real asset in
that it provides a tangible ac-
count of exactly how student ac-
tivity funds are spent. As you see
them what are the duties and
powers of the SGA President?

Manning: SGA President is
responsible for grasping and
understanding the attitudes and
concerns of the student body so
that she can guide Rep meetings
to coincide with student body
opinion, while at the same time
having a high sense of duty
towards the standards of Agnes
Scott.

Philips: I feel that one of the
most important duties of SGA
President is to serve as a go-
between for students and the
Administration. Providing
strong, impartial leadership for
representative council, at
meetings and away, and
representing the Student body as
a whole are also big res-
ponsibilities of this office. I think
it is so important to try to keep
personalities out of the con-
sideration of an issue, and I feel
the president should be able to
provide the leadership that
would facilitate this type of at-
mosphere. A big responsibility of
this position which is not often
emphasized to the Student Body,
is the position which SGA

President holds on the Ad-
ministrative Committee. After
elections the SGA President must
appoint committee members for
various student government
commitees. The SGA President
has the power to vote on an issue
in the event that this vote could
affect the outcome, and I feel
that a great respect and much
^consideration should be given to
this power. The President must
try to retain a clear perspective
on campus issues and the sen-
timents and needsof the Student
Body.

Do you have any specific plans
which you would propose if
elected? If so, what are some of
them?

Manning: I would like to set up a
student/faculty relations com-
mittee, and I would also like to
work toward a change in student
attitudes Many Agnes Scott
students are afraid to voice their
opinions while others give up on
a situation before finding the
solution. The only way Rep and
the student body can accomplish
their goals is for us to reverse this
trend of apathy so prevalent in
the student body and Rep. An
effective SGA President could be
a pwerful force in eliminating
this campus-wide feeling.
Philips: There are some plans
that I would like to propose if
elected. I feel a need to establish
communication and more con-
crete interaction between
students and the Board of
Trustees, so I would like to see
some sort of standing committee
composed of students and Board
members that could meet while
the board is on campus for its
own meetings. I would also like
to see more consideration of
what would be involved in open-
ing up the lower dining hall or
the Hub to sell beer and wine. I
think this could be quite an ad-
dition to the campus of Agnes
Scott. I feel that we need to work
on finding some sort of method
for evaluating existing boards on
campus in how they are serving
the students' needs. There is also
a need to look closely at existing
committees and see if having a
particular committee is the best
way for dealing with a particular
concern or matter of business.
Why do you want to be SGA
President?

Manning: I want to be elected
SGA President because I see the
great need for an open, tolerant
leader who can see many sides to
all issues yet stand strong in her
opinion when the situation com-
mands her to remain firm. Our
campus is torn by a pseudo-fac-
tionalism between conservative
vs. liberals, or "holy rollers" vs.
"hell raisers," and student body
vs. administration. This fac-
tionalism is detrimental and

dangerous to the life of the
present and future institutions of
this college. We must have a and
sense for our past traditions yet
gain a new respect and
understanding of the new ideas
and opinions on our campus;
thus we must gain a sense of
.proportion between the old and
new and conceive of progress as
something more than a mere
struggle to represent the his-
torical traditions of Agnes Scott's
past. As SGA President, I could
gain this balance.
Philips: In my almost three years
here, Agnes Scott has become a
very real part of me. As I have

considered running for SGA
President, I have realized that a
very important qualification for
this office is a sincere concern
and appreciation for and a
dedication to Agnes Scott and
what the institution stands for. I
want to serve in this position
because I feel that in the fulfilling
and carrying out of the duties of
this office, I could most
constructively express this ap-
preciation and dedication by
both affirming what we as
students feel is good, and by
offering constructive criticism
where we feel it is needed.

SGA Vice-President

Cathy Harris, Paige Patton, and
Sally Stamper are the three
students running for the position
of SGA vice-president. The
following questions were sub-
mitted to the candidates in an ef-
fort to let the students know
their views on such matters as
school policy, Rep Council
legislation, etc.

What specific changes, if any,
would you like to see in the
school policy during your term
in office?

Harris: One change that I would
very much like to see is in the
Library Reserve Policy. I would
like to see the policy changed
back to the way it was until the
1975-76 academic year. Under
the present policy, Reserve
Books must be obtained 1) at
time from the main desk of the
Library, making it extremely dif-
ficult for students to skim
through 7-8 books and choose
articles to read. Under the
former policy, an entire section
of the library basement was used
for reserve materials. A student
was allowed to compare several
of the books at one time. I know
there were problems with books
being stolen, but I'm not con-
vinced that the present policy is
the solution. I would like to see
stricter controls placed on the
old reserve policy. I feel that this
would be much more conducive
to our honor system.
Patton: I am very much in favor
of students on the Curriculum
committee, for I feel that this
change would improve student-
faculty communication and en-
courage an evaluation of the
courses which ASC currently
offers. I would like to see a com-
mittee of students, faculty, and
administration formed for the
purpose of investigating ad-
vantages and disadvantages of
certain college calendar with a
resulting proposal of one or two
possibilities most suited to ASC. I

am in favor of student evaluation
of the faculty. In my opinion, this
evaluation would bring certain
faculty-related matters to the
attention of administration,
faculty, and students. After hav-
ing been so closely involved with
the mechanics of the election
procedure, I feel that our elec-
tion system needs to be
revamped. We need to look at
post ASC election procedures,
investigate the methods used by
other schools, and evaluate our
current process in order to
determine what changes need to
be made concerning Student
Government elections.
Stamper: There are very few
specific school policies that I
foresee working to change,
although I dofeel that it is critical
that all Rep members remain
open to such needs as they arise.
One policy that I would like to
see acted upon as soon as pos-
sible is the reinstatement of stan-
dardized faculty evaluations by
students. I think this is oneof the
best ways student opinion can be
objectively relayed to both the
administration and the profes-
sor.

What problems in the academic
and social life of this campus
would you like to see Rep Coun-
cil concern itself with?
Harris: Some specific problems
that I think need special atten-
tion are 1) the idea of a "dead
week" the last week of the
quarter and 2) a paper con-
taining a description of the
courses offered during the next
quarter and the work re-
quirements for the course (eg.
how many papers, tests, finals,
etc..) This is practiced at Colum-
bia Seminary and makes it pos-
sible for a student to plan her
quarters so that she will know
what is expected of her in each
course.

Tish DuPont, Andrea Groover,
Robin Kessler, and Barbara
Propst. Three of the candidates
answered questions for
publication in the Profile. We
were unable to elicit a response
from Miss DuPont.
Why do you want to be SGA
Secretary?

Groover: I am concerned about
Agnes Scott and take a great
interest in it. I feel that SGA
provides an effective means of
service to the school, and as
secretary I could contribute to
this service and help promote
the effectiveness of this govern-
ing body.

Kessler: I feel that there are
many policies having to do with
this school that need some
modification, and I would like to
work at changing some of these
policies to make them more valid
to the student body.
Propst: I would like to be SGA
Secretary primarily because I
want to be contributing part of
the Agnes Scott community. I
would like the opportunity to
represent the students here, and
to work for those things that the
majority of the students feel are
in the best interests of Agnes
Scott.

Which of your past experiences
and activities do you think will
help you as SGA Secretary?
Groover: I gained insight into
the operation of SGA and the
types of issues that it faces when I
served as a member of Rep
Council my freshman year. As
President of the Sophomore
Class, I feel that I have gained
leadership qualities that would
be valuable as an officer of SGA.

Candidates for the office of
SGA Treasurer are sophomores
Melanie Best. Debby Daniel, and
Leslie Garrison. Their answers
given to questions asked by a
Profile reporter are as follows:

Why do you wish to be SGA
Treasurer?

Best: First. I would like to have
the opportunity to serve the
student body as an officer of
Student Government As-
sociation. And more specifically,
I want to insure that SGA funds
are most equitably distributed.
Daniel: I enjoy the responsibility
of handling money.
Garrison: I feel I can better serve
the entire college community as
a member of Rep Council and by
occupying a position in which I
feel I am competent
What are the duties and powers
of the office of SGA Treasurer as
you understand them?

Best: The treasurer's duty is to
handle the alloted funds of both
Rep Council and SGA. Money
management of the Association
entails working with the
treasurers of the various campus
boards and councils, deciding on
a reasonable distribution of

Kessler: This year I have held the
office of Secretary of Chimo,and
I feel this experience has given
me a "feel" for this office. Also,
this year I have been, during
winter quarter, a sophomore
representative on Rep Council.
Propst: Although I have not
been a part of student
government at Agnes Scott, I was
a member of my high school
Student Council and
participated in many other ac-
tivities there. However, I feel that
my primary qualification for SGA
Secretary is my experience as a
student at Agnes Scott.
Throughout the past year and a
half, I have been able to observe
SGA and its functions. I have
seen what things I would like to
see done, and through living
with the other students, I feel I
have some idea of their opinions
and interests also.
What should be the primary
purpose of SGA?
Groover: The primary purpose
of SGA is to act as a meaningful
and effective body of
government and to serve as a
true representation of the
students at Agnes Scott.
Kessler: This answer is an easy
one; however, I am not sure
everyone believes it. SGA's
purpose is to represent the
feelings and opinions of the
student body.

Propst: I think SGA should strive
to represent the majority of
Agnes Scott students, and also to
represent the best interests of
the school.

As an officer of SGA, what would
be your role in fulfilling that
purpose?

Groover: As an officer of SGA, I
would take part in the planning

funds from the treasury.
Daniel: To prepare the student
budget and take charge of finan-
cial matters of SGA.
Garrison: The SGA Treasurer is
responsible for the allocation of
student activities fees to all
organizations. She also draws up
a budget with her budget com-
mittee and presents it to Rep
Council.

What experience have you had
which you feel would be helpful
in this office?

Best: Never having served as an
organization's treasurer, I even
so realize the intricacies of
allocating money becuase of an
internship I held with city
government and observations of
the City-County Council .it
home.

Daniel: I have just served a year
as Blackfriars' Treasurer.
Garrison: I served as Treasurer of
the Sophomore Class this year,
keeping a ledger and allocating
funds to committees based on a
budget I drew up, much as the
SGA Treasurer does except on a
smaller scale.

How do you feel about the con-
solidated treasury system? What
changes would you make, if any?

and direction of programs and is-
sues that SGA takes on. As a
leader, I would help to guide the
board and strive to represent my
constituents.

Kessler: It is necessary for
member of SGA to make an ac-
tive effort to find out what is the
student body's opinion; whether
the effort is through surveys in
the form of questionnaires, or
more importantly. through
direct communication with the
student body.

Propst: I think it is important that
an officer of SGA represent the
students by whom she was
elected, rather than represent
herself. Consequently, if my
opinion as SGA Secretary were in
conflict with the opinion of the
majority. I would feel obligated
to vote for this majority,
although I would feel no
obligation to either change or
suppress my own opinion.

(Editor's note: Rita Kitts, also a
candidate for SGA Secretary, was
inadvertently left out of the
original interview. He answers
follow.)

Why do you want to be SGA
Secretary?

Kitts: Interest in Student
Government at Agnes Scott has
really increased in the past two
years with new proposals such as
parietals and the recent alcohol
beverage policy. With this in-
creased interest comes the need
for strong student leadership. I
want to be a part of the students
who offer their leadership, and
as Secretary of SGA, I can offer a
link between other students and
the association itself.
Which of your past experiences
and activities do you think will

Best: Our consolidated treasury
system does simplify the money
situation by abolishing some
boards' separate accounts and
does halt some wasteful expen-
ditures by collecting leftover
money back into the treasury at
the end of each year. But certain
organizations The Profile and
Arts Council are two have
suffered from insufficient fund
allotments. Whether the con-
solidated system or another fac-
tor is at fault, this situation needs
to be remedied.
Daniel: It appears to be a simple
system that makes allotments
easy to keep track of. I cannot
propose changes, if any, until I
have actually seen the system
work.

Garrison: I feel that the con-
solidated treasury is an effective
system of checks and balances
for knowing where the activities
fee each student pays is going.
The system appears to work very
well; however, in the Spring
Quarter meeting of all
organization treasurers and
business managers I will be open
to suggestions which I (an
present to Rep Council.

help you as SGA Secretary?
Kitts: In past years I've served in
several official capacities in
organizations at local, church, as
well as state, levels. But, as each
nominee is qualified as far as
leadership is concerned, the
main interest lies in the im-
portance of the secretarial
position itself, at which I've
served in various associations.
What should be the primary
purpose of SGA?
Kitts: The purpose of Student
Government Association is to
allow students to accept con-

The candidates for Honor
Court chairman are Lucy Hicks
and Mimi Holmes. They gave the
following answers to questions
asked by a Profile reporter:
If elected chairman of Honor
Court, how do you plan to main-
tain and / or increase the effec-
tiveness of the Honor System?
Hicks: I believe that the com-
munity of Agnes Scott maintains
and increases the effectiveness
of the Honor System, not the
chairman of Honor Court. When
I say the "community." I am
referring to the boarding
students, the day students,
faculty, administration and all
working help on the campus. I
believe each facet reflects their
attitudes and feelings upon each
of the groups and that when one
part starts weakening, it is
everybody else's responsibility
to help build them back up.
Holmes: If elected chairman of
Honor Court I plan to maintain
and strengthen the effectiveness
of our Honor System through the
orientation of incoming
freshmen and the continuing
education of upperclassmen
and faculty. The Honor System
cannot exist unless each one of
us cares enough to uphold it.
Only through an awareness of
how much individual and
academic freedom it gives each
one of us can we care enough to
maintain the System. I believe
that we need to promote this
awareness among students on
campus because all too often we
take what we have for granted,
until we are threatened with its
removal. Students are all too
ready to reap the benefits of our
Honor Code without really
working to make the system
work, i.e. dual responsibility.
Awareness of these issues would

Beth Nease is the only can-
didate tor the office of Social
Council President. Following are
her answers to questions asked
by a Profile reporter.
How could you make Social
Council a more effective
organization on campus?
Nease: The Social Council
should better reflect the
students' wishes. The council is
selected to provide enjoyment
for the students, not for
themselves. With the students'

siderable responsibility in
determining their own policies
and regulations and to increase
student participation and
interest in the structure of the
college curriculum.
As an officer of SGA, what would
be your role in fulfilling that
purpose?

Kitts: I would attempt to be one
link between the students and
the SGA itself. As any other of-
ficer or Rep Council member,
my views would be expressive of
other students' ideasand sugges-
tions.

with the freshmen and honor
renewal with upperclassmen and
just a real caring to stop and talk
casually with people about the
Honor System.

Do you feel there is any danger
of our privileges that are
protected by the Honor System,
such as self-scheduled exams,
take-home tests, key privileges,
etc., being taken away or res-
tricted? If so, how do you intend
to remove these dangers?
Hicks: ""If there is any "danger " it
lies within the control of the
Agnes Scott community. The
reason for any Honor Court is to
regulate the system and make
everybody more aware ot the
Honor System so that one part
does not take advantage of
another. To quote an old phrase,
"We have nothing to fear but
fear itself."

Holmes: I feel there is always
the danger of losing our
privileges. Each quarter is a test
that shows whether or not we
care enough to maintain these
privileges of self-scheduled ex-
ams, take-home tests, etc. This is
not to say that Honor Court is on
the lookout for an increase in
violations as a sign that the
Honor System has failed
rather, Honor Court tries to be
very sensitive to the needs of the
campus and tries to meet these
needs by meeting with in-
dividual halls when they have a
problem, by publishing exam
procedure sheets to let students
know where they need to be
more careful, etc. If elected

Chairman of Interdorm

Chairman of Arts Council

The following is an interview
with Mary Jane Norville and
Christy Johnson, the candidates
for Inter-dorm Chairman.

Exactly how do you see the
position of Interdorm Chairman
and its responsibilities?

Norville: Interdorm chairman
should be available to all
members of the campus as a con-
sultant on students problems
within the dorms. One of her
most important roles is that of
liaison between administration,
dorm council, and students. She
is responsible to the student
body in seeing that specific
problems within each dorm are
resolved.

Johnson: The responsibilities of
Interdorm Chairman are
twofold. First of all, the
Interdorm Chairman must work
with Interdormitory Council to
insure that dorm councils are a
cohesive governing body on
campus and that each dorm
council is functioning with res-
ponsibility. When problems arise
which fall under the jurisdiction
of Interdorm, the chairman and
the Council must work together
as a judicial body. The other im-
portant responsibility of
Interdorm Chairman is to stay in
contact with Dean Kirkland, not
only when problems arise, but all
the time.

Is there anything about this
position that you feel needs
changing?

Norville: I would not change any
of the specific duties of
Interdorm Chairman, however, I
would like to stress her role as
liaison between administration,
and students with regards to all
aspects of dorm life.

Johnson: My hopes for this next
year concern the role of dorm
councils. There seems to be a
general feeling that the position
of dorm council members in-
volves no more than the choice
of a room. I hope that dorm
council members will begin to
erase this image by assuming
their position with a sense of im-
portance and responsibility. If
dorm council members take
their position seriously, then
they will earn respect for dorm
councils. The Interdorm
Chairman can promote more
effective dorm councils by hav-
ing campus wide meetings,
which Barbara began last year.

All dorm council members,
especially those who will be liv-
ing among freshmen, should be
encouraged to assume their
counseling responsibilities in the
dorms.

Do you feel there are particular honor system over into dorm
problems in the dorms you can life. For example, the problem of
help with? stealing has approached

significant proportions recently.

Norville: I feel that is is the res-
ponsibility of Interdorm along
with dorm council to see that all
social policies are adhered to.
This includes enforcement of
quiet hours where noise is a
problem, violation of drinking
policies, parietals, and other
aspects of our honor system. As
social regulations at Agnes Scott
are changing Interdorm has
more responsibility for seeing
that these policies are not
abused.

Jc*mson: As for immediate
problems in the dorms, it seems
that a number of them result
from the failure to carry the

Perhaps Honor Court could
work with dorm councils to put
an end to this persistent
problem. A problem of a
different kind is that of freshmen
who find themselves in unhappy
circumstances in the dorms. I
urge that dorm councils who
deal with freshmen be en-
couraged to serve as an effective
counseling body. In this manner,
they could help freshmen with
their living problems and
perhaps reduce some of the
trauma of their first year at Agnes
Scott.

Christian Association President

Cindy Peters and Paula Starr
are running for Christian As-
sociation President. The follow-
ing questions were given to them
so the student body can have
some idea of why they are run-
ning, and what they think they
can do for Christian Association.

What kind of an organization do
you think CA should be? If you
want to make any reforms how
would you go about doing so?

Peters: CA is comprised of the
entire student body - everyone is
automatically a member. I see
the Board, that is the officers and
committee chairman, as being
the steering committee to which
you as a student can come with
ideas and concerns which the
Board would then try to activate.
The Board should be committed
to Christ as individuals. and as a
whole and should try to serve
Him on this campus by trying to
meet the needs of the students.
The Board is only as effective as
the students themselves make it.
I would love to see each student
consider herself a part of CAand
nor to see CA as being an elitist
group that meets one evening a
week and is not really concerned
about the rest of the campus. I
think if I were going to makeany
reforms I would strive to get
people to feel a part of CA. I
would certainly do my best to
foster this by having open board
meetings and more campus-
wide fellowships. I also would be
open to any suggestions from
anyone at anytime.

Starr: CA should be an
organization which serves to
stimulate the spiritual growth of
every Christian on campus. This,
to me, is the purpose of CA, and
in order to fulfill a purpose as
demanding as this, CA must
provide opportunities for

growth of many different kinds.
Such opportunities as Bible
studies, group prayer,
fellowship, and a strong dis-
cipleship program are neces-
sities to growth. I also believe
that in order to fulfill our
purpose, CA Board should
remain flexible and remain open
to input from students who are
not on the board. I would make
very few changes in CA board,
possibly adding a new position
for librarian when the board is
selected by the officer.

What do you feel your
qualifications for CA President
are?

Peters: First of all, I am a Chris-
tian committed to following the
principles of Jesus Christ as the
center of my life. I want to be the
President of CA and I think I
could do a good job. I am
interested in the spiritual life of
this campus and I want to be ac-
tive in its growth on campus. I
feel that my commitment to this
and willingness to work for this is
one of my qualifications. Lastly, I
have served on the Board for two
years now - my Sophomore year
as a committee co-chairman and
this year as Secretary. I think that
my knowledge of the Board and
how it runs is another
qualification.

Starr: I have served on CA since
spring of my freshman year, and I
have held two positions which
have allowed me to learn a great
deal about CA and its ad-
ministration. My first position
was a Focus on Faith 75-76 co-
chairman, a position in which I
helped plan Focus on Faith
week. This past year, I have been
Chairman of Publicity and of the
Librarian committee, which in-
cludes the CA booktable and
bookshelf.

The candidates for Chairman
of Arts Council are Janet Kelly
and Peggy Lamberson. Below are
their answers to a few questions.

What qualifications do you
believe you have for Chairman
of Arts Council?

Kelly: In 1976-77 I was Jr. Class
Representative to Arts Council. I
was also BSA member represen-
ting Arts Council. I have been a
member of Art Club for two
years, and am a member of the
Atlanta High Museum. A
member of the Student Life
Committee of SGA and I am an
Art and Economics major.

Lamberson: As editor of the
Profile, I have been a member of
the Arts Council for the past
year. More importantly, I feel
that I am in a unique position in
relation to this office. As a
member of Studio Dance
Theater and Music Club, former
editor of the Profile, a music ma-
jor and a dedicated enthusiast of
the theater and creative writing, I
am either in close touch with or
directly involved in nearly all of
the organizations represented in
Arts Council. Therefore, I am
personally aware of the pos-
sibilities and limitations of these
groups.

Why do you want to run for this
office?

Kelly: Because this is an area in
which I want to become further
involved and give my best.

Lamberson: I am running for
Chairman of Arts Council
because I have been dissatisfied
with the Council's activities in
the years that I have been at
Agnes Scott. The Arts Council
was not created to be a glorified
Reception Committee, provid-
ing servers to dispense punch
and cheese straws at receptions.
Arts Council needs a little less
punch of the liquid variety and a
lot more in the realm of en-
thusiastic action. I wish to be
chairman of Arts Council in

order to act positively for all the
arts on campus.

Do you have any plans to change
any of the duties or activities of
Arts Council?

Kelly: I want to inform the cam-
pus about the function of Arts
Council, and Arts Council's ac-
tivities to combine and
coordinate the fine arts.

Lamberson: I have no intention
of changing any of the duties and
activities as implied by the stated
purpose of this organization,
which is "to encourage creative
active participation and unify all
fine arts groups on campus." I
feel that the key word here is
un/7y. As many of the artistic
organizations at ASC grow in
capability and potential, how can
they help but gain through
interaction? Arts Council is the
ideal body to provide the
organizing factor for these
groups - precisely as was
intended.

Do you have anything you would
like to add?

Lamberson: Because any major
performance, program, etc. re-
quires a great deal of
forethought and cooperation,
the faculty and administration
must be involved in many cases.
Therefore, It is a great advantage
to a chairman of Arts Council to
be in close touch with the faculty
and administration. Here again,
due to my involvement in the
groups listed above, I feel that I
am in a unique position to work
for the unification of the arts on
campus.

Finally, I would like to remind
the students that "Arts" Council
does not imply an emphasis on
the art department. If the twelve
organizations represented, only
Art Club deals specifically with
art. Music and writing are most
heavily represented - music by
four organizations and writing
by three.

Athletic Association President

Grace Allen, the only can-
didate for President of A. A., has
served on A. A. for two years. She
is also involved in many of Agnes
Scott's intramural sports. Grace
believes that because she is ac-
tive in so many sports that she
knows better what athletics the
student body is interested in.

As A. A. president, Grace
would like to get more students
involved in intramural sports.

She hopes that more
participation in intramurals will
lead to more interest in
tercollegiate sports. She also
believes that the recent A. A.

questionnaire will supply her
with the interests of many
students who usually do not
voice their opinion on what kind
of sports they would like to see
on the Agnes Scott campus.

SGA VP ~~ Orientation Council Chairman

Patton: In my previous answer, I
mentioned several changes I
would like to see implemented
into ASC policy. In addition, I
think there is a need for a
revision in Dorm Council. Rep
could consider suggesting a
change after all possibilities are
discussed. Dorm Council might
be more efficient if elected the
fall after room assignments are
made. An issue which will be on
the agenda is the drinking policy.
We must determine what the
student body wants - selling of li-
quor in the Hub, drinking in the
forms, or other options. The im-
portant idea to remember in
light of this issue is to keep a
perspective on what will be best
for the future and for ASC as a
whole. An important function of
Rep is to promote and en-
courage communication among
faculty, students, and ad-
ministration - an essential
element if we are to resolve
some of our present academic
and social problems.
Stamper: I feel that we are in the
midst of a time when the
college's role in the moral and
social development of students is
being challenged. This is in many
respects, of course, a constant
process as well as a vital one.
However, as we consider specific
changes in social regulations, for
example, we move out of theory
and into practice. It is essential
that all of us, especially Rep
members, consider carefully our
feelings about each issue in-
dividually as it arises and debtae
thoroughly and reasonably
among ourselves before we
make our decision either for
change or for maintaining the
status quo. I feel strongly that we
must be careful without being
reactionary. These principles ap-
ply equally to academic
regulations. In the coming year I
believe we will be forced to con-
tinue examining our honor
system in regards specifically to
academic honesty. We have
witnessed an apparent decline in
repsect for the system among
students and faculty, and I feel
we need to take steps now to res-
tore what I see as the foundation
of academic integrity and ex-
cellence.

To what extent should the
student body be involved in Rep
Council legislation? Are there
any areas which should be han-
dled directly by the student
body?

Harris: I think the student body
should be involved in Rep Coun-
cil legislation to a very great ex-
tent. Rep Council is a represen-
tative council elected by the
students to represent the
students. Any student who has
an idea should talk to her
representative (and ask her to
present it to Rep) or better yet,
come to Rep and present the
idea herself. I don't think the
student body realizes that Rep
meetings are open meetings and
the campus is more than
welcome to attend any and all
meetings and contribute vocally
if they so desire. I don't think
there are decisions that should
be handled directly by the
student body before they go to

Rep Council. Our SGA does
operate on a representative
system, but under this system,
the student body has the power
to override any decision made by
the Rep Council. This gives the
student body enormous power if
it feels that Rep Council is not
being representative.
Patton: Since the members of
each class, and the student body
at large elect the Rep members. I
feel that issues are to be handled
by Rep and not directly by the
student body for such is the res-
ponsibility and right of Rep
Council. It is the right and res-
ponsibility of the student body,
on the other hand, to hold a
student body meeting if they
disagree with Rep's decision. It is
important for members of the
student body to attend Rep
Council meetings and to voice
their opinion on the issues at
hand.

Stamper: The student body
elects the Representative Coun-
cil to handle the official business
of student government. In order
for Rep to be effective, the
student body must participate as
a whole. All students are en-
couraged to attend Rep
meetings and contribute to dis-
cussions. I do not feel that there
are any cases in which the initial
vote should be of the entire
student body. The safeguard of
student body vote to rescind Rep
decisions is always open.
What do you consider to be the
role of an SGA vice-president?
Harris: As I understand it, the of-
fice of VA of SGA involves
several different important jobs.
First of all, she is to assume the
duties of the president in her
absence. She is also to serve as
co-chairman of the fall retreat,
and as a member of the Orien-
tation Council and BSA. But her
most important job is to serve as
coordinator of the SGA com-
mittees.

Patton: The most important job
of the SGA Vice-President is to
coordinate the various com-
mittees, which is where a large
part of Rep Council's work is ac-
complished. The Vice President
is also responsible for: assuming
the duties of the president in her
absence, helping with the fall
retreat, and serving on Orien-
tation Council and BSA. From my
experience as serving as SGA
seer t ry for the past year, I have
learned that it is also important
for the Vice-President of SGA, as
well as the other three SGA of-
ficers, to support and aid each
other.

Stamper: The specific duties of
the vice-president of SGA are
cited in the Constitution. In ad-
dition to executing these res-
ponsibilities efficiently. I feel
that the vice-president, like all
officers of SGA, must be able to
objectively consider various
points of view without losing
sight of her own opinion. In ad-
dition to being a voting member
of Rep, prepared to take a stand
and back it up, she must also,
however, assist the president in
serving as an objective mediating
influence. It's not an easy job.
but I don't think it is an im-
possible goal, either.

Mary Anna Smith, Betsy
Whitmire and Cathy Winn are
running for Orientation Council
Chairman. The following ques-
tions were asked .of each can-
didate.

Do you feel that upperclassmen
should be more involved in the
orientation of freshmen? If so,
how would you accomplish this?

Smith: I feel that the one to one
relationship established with the
Big Sisters is quite adequate;
more involvement of the
upperclassmen might be too
overpowering or cause in-
timidation.

Whit^mire: I do believe
upperclassmen should be more
involved in the orientation of
freshmen. Presently, they are in-
volved either by serving on a
council dealing with orientation
activities, becoming a Big Sister,
or by voluntarily taking an
interest in freshmen. If we all
took more time in getting to
know the freshmen, orientation
would become a much more
personal experience to them and
ourselves as well. However as
this is a personal choice, we may
only work with the Big Sister
program and hope that
upperclassmen make the effort
to involve themselves.
Winn: Yes, I feel that
upperclassmen should be more
involved in the orientation of
freshmen. Our best way of
achieving this is through the Big
Sister program, and maybe we
could have more interaction
among the Big Sisters. Another
idea is to have certain floors of
each dorm get together with
certain floors of other dorms in
order to mix up the students in a

way that they are usually not.

Discuss any ideas you have
pertaining to the purpose and
goals of Orientation Council, or
any other ideas you may have
about the council for which you
are running for chairman.

Smith: I feel that Orientation
Council plays a vital role on this
campus. The first impressions
and attitudes which are
conveyed to the freshmen are
very influential and play a big
role in determining their own at-
titudes and opinions. Therefore,
Orientation Council must instill
in the freshmen their own res-
ponsibility as a member of the
Agnes Scott community.
Whit^mire: Generally, my
feelings about the purpose and
goals of Orientation Council
were expounded in the preced-
ing question. In short, Orien-
tation Council should strive to
make orientation for each new
student a good experience, (not
traumatic) and bring us closer
together as a college com-
munity. I am running for
Chairman of the board because I
feel a terrific excitement about
trying to help the new students
and to make them enjoy their
time at Agnes Scott; particularly
those first few weeks which are
filled with adjustments. It
elected, \ look forward to work-
ing with my board and others in-
volved to make Orientation for
1977 a success.

Winn: Since the purpose of
Orientation Council is to
familiarize the new students with
Agnes Scott, we need to be
aware of the help they will need
and the social outlets they want.
Orientation Council hopes to

succeed in making the first mon-
ths away at college interesting
and exciting, and that each
person will realize that they can
find a place here, where they
belong, and where the quality of
education is valued, and life is
lived to the fullest.

Have you served on Orientation
Council in the past? If not. what
qualifications do you feel you
have for being Orientation
Council Chairman?

Smith: No. . . Secretary of Social
Council, Big Sister Orientation,
Student Admissions Represen-
tative, Dance Group (1 year),
Dorm Council (1 year), Hostess
for Applicant's Weekend and
Alumnae Weekend.
Whitmire: I was treasurer of
Orientation Council for 1975-76.
However, I believe my main
qualification for Chairman of the
Council is that I have been a
freshman at ASC and have ex-
perienced orientation myself.
Also, I am extremely concerned
with how to make the orien-
tation experience best for the
freshman while simultaneously
involving the whole campus in
an effort to bring us all closer
together.

Winn: As a freshman, I was
selected to be Secretary of
Orientation Council, which I
served throughout my
Sophomore year. As a
sophomore, I was selected as
Orientation Council Chairman
for Non-Traditional Students
which I served my junior year.
This position gave me ex-
perience similar to the
Chairman's since I had to handle
all aspects of orientation for a
smaller, more specialized group.

'AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

April 1, 1977

Freshmen shout:

Life at St. Agnes Convent is the Pits

by jolly Midriff

Freshmen arrive at Agnes Scott
College in the fall with a variety
of expectations and presup-
positions; they plunge right into
life as a Scottie. By spring all their
expectations are disappointed,
and they find thatall their dread-
ful presuppositions are true. This
reporter recently gathered
together a dozen freshmen for a
group interview (not to be con-
fused with group therapy) in
which they discussed the social
life, the academic life and the
community life of Agnes Scott.

When asked about the social
life offered at Angnes Scott
College, one girl from southern
Mississippi drawled, "I came
here expecting to find a man. I
mean, my mother always told me
that the best place to find a rich
husband was at a small girls'
school. And what have I found
after two quarters? Nothing!
There isn't a man to be found on
the Agnes Scott campus."

"What about all the mixers and
TGIF parties we have?" asked a
freshmen member of Keg Coun-
cil, who was dressed in Top-

Siders, Levis and a rugby shirt.

"She's talking about men,"
said the girl beside her, "not
about fraternity boys who can't
blow the foam off their beer. No
pre-med students who know the
GPA's of everyone in their class
and not engineers who think
Milton discovered the fourth law
of thermodynamics, but real,
live, intelligent men. What this
city needs is a good liberal arts
college for man."

At this remark the "Little
Sisters" in the group began to
show signs of anger, so a new
topic of conversation was in-
troduced, that of academic life at
Agnes Scott.

One pale girl in dark glasses
said that she didn't find
academics at Agnes Scott as
challenging as she had hoped.

"You don't find it
challenging?" shrieked
someone else. "You don't find a
reading list that includes the
complete works of Chaucer,
Milton, Shakespeare, Dickens,
Sir Walter Scott and James
Joyce challenging enough for
one quarter of English 101?"

Another girl stated that she
though she had a typical
schedule for a freshmen. She
rises at 8:15, is at breakfast at 8:25
and with luck and a good pair of
Adidas is in math by 8:35. At 9:30
she has French; at 10:30, history;
and at 11:30, a meeting of some
kind. At 11:45 she eats lunch, at
12:10 she has English and at 1:00
she eats lunch again. At 2:10 she
has biology lab, and at 5 p.m. she
eats dinner. After dinner she
reads, goes to Pea-by-the-Sea,
works on a research paper, goes
to Nobody's, writes a French ex-
ercise, goes to Creamy Crisp,
writes home for more money,
raids the candy machineand is in
bed by 4 a.m.

When asked about the com-
munity life of Agnes Scott
College a number of girls ex-
pressed satisfaction with the
close-knit, family atmosphere
they have found here.

"It's nice to have 500 sisters to
borrow clothes from," said one
freshmen.

"And to borrow dates from,"
added another. "I would never
have met my boyfriend if he

Interview with the Dean
proves provocative

by Sass

(Editor's Note: This reporter
was very fortunate to have a
short interview granted to her by
Dean Garrulous. Most of the
time, the distinguished Dean is
out to lunch and is not available
for comment).

REPORTER: Dean Garrulous,
there has been talk among some
students on campus that you are
not always receptive to new
ideas brought to you by students,
professors, other administration
members etc. ...

DEAN GARRULOUS: This
must be another one of those

nasty rumors that floats around
the community; it simply isn't
true. I am always more than
happy to sit down with a student
and use my executive skills to
negate any innovations which
she may bring before me.

REPORTER: What changes, if
any, have you seen in the calibre
of students over the years?

DEAN GARRULOUS: I am dis-
turbed by what I see to be a
decline in the number of ac-
quiescent students. They are be-
ing replaced by outspoken and
(God forbid) radical ones. I once
knew a student who wanted to

Students may leave too

ASC faculty to walk out

by Sass

Agnes Scott College may be
facing the largest threat to her
existence since the beginning of
unilateral decision-making in
1973, the Profane learned today.

In a fit of rebellion, the
normally reticent faculty have
announced to the campus that
they will soon be staging a walk-
out. "We've had it up to here!"
fumed one professor who
refused to be identified. "These
eager beaver students are driv-
ing us batty!"

According to faculty spkesman
Bo Bouncer, ASC professors will
promptly walk out of their
classes everyday after the dis-
missal bell rings. Students will
also be expected to leave. The
faculty will no longer entertain
questions, foolish or otherwise,
after the bell has rung. "Thank
God for this new wave of
assertiveness!" sighed a young
professor with obvious relief.
"For the past four years I've been
coming home at extremely late
hours. My sex life has suffered to

unfortunately for us, she

the only solution to dealing with
students like her.

validity of the walk-out,
President Marvelous replied
flatly, "I don't care what the
faculty does. My chief concern

New pole spearheads
May Day festival

by Wheezy Hairs

Dust the garlands and don
the white dresses! It's spring,
and our annual celebration
promises to be especially
jubilant this year. The erection
of a shining, new May Day pole
in the center squad will provide
the focal point so blatantly lac-
king in the past Agnes Scott spr-
ing festivals.

The festivities will begin at
8:00 on the evening of April 30
in the amphitheater with a bon-
fire and the usual pagan revelry
(bring your own grapes). A
word of temperance: last year,
a couple of students so lost
themselves in the evening's
ecstacies that they innocently
mistook a security officer for a
faun. The result was quite em-
barrassing. But don't hold back
too much. Spring only comes
once a year, and the deans are
encouraging everyone to enjoy
themselves to the hilt! The
social council was happy to get
the lute quartet "Shoures
Soote" to provide the music for
the night's fun, and the lutists
have agreed to play until dawn
or the appearance of the toad
stools, whichever comes first.

Sunrise, May the first will
herald in spring with a pagean-
try not seen before on the
Agnes Scott campus. Twelve of
the comeliest Scottie maidens,
fleeced out in innocent white,
will perform the ribbon dance
around our proud pole, in
tribute to fertile Spring.

Feasting and frolicking will
continue throughout the day,
and it is hoped that everyone
will participate in the lusty
celebrations. Freshmen should
be especially excited, since
they will have the honor and
pleasure of having the new
pole all four years of their
college career. Rita Bacchus,
last year's May Day chairman
remembers when the girls on
her committee were so
desperate that they were
searching for anything that was
longer than it was wide to serve
as the noble pole. They finally
had to improvise with a
broomstick handle held in the
teeth of Ima Frog (class of 76).
The effect, as one charitable
witness said, was not all one
could hope for. Spurred on by
the appalling need, Miss Bac-
chus petitioned the President.
Dr. Quarry looked into the
matter during the summer
recess and not only graciously
granted the request, but also
helped select the ideal spot for
our pole. Situated
conspicuously in the center of
the campus, the magnificent
silver symbol daily reminds the
students, faculty, ad-
ministration, and even visitors
that even in the dead of
December, spring will come,
that there is life after winter
quarter, and that criticize youth
as you may, it will prevail!

When not being danced
around, the Maypole can also
serve to carry flags.

Editorial

Oriental disaster

As editor of this august and respected publication, I feel that it is
my solemn responsibility to inform the community of Agnes' Gout
College of the unjust and heartrending circumstances concerning
the admirable and universally adored eggs in China. So grave is this
matter, and so far-reaching in its implications, that a young woman
courageous and noble soul! was moved to take upthe banner
for this cause, to lift it from the chicken-muck into which it had
been thrown, and to send it triumphantly to the dry-cleaners.

Shall not we here at Agnes' Gout follow this uplifting and clean-
sing example? How can we, as sympathetic, liberal-minded,
intelligent inhabitants of the best of all possible colleges in this best
of all possible worlds, ignore the sorrowful and outrageous
treatment of the best of all possible eggs? Shall we sit callously by,
enjoying the security and luxuries of the United Steaks of America
(including free public TV), while barbarians and infidels perpetrate
the most horrible crimes on the hapless, helpless eggs in China?

We must take action! Every day more eggs undergo tortures that
would ravel your underwear. Why, if you think that Hellperson's
Mayonnaise is guilty of cruelty to eggs, consider how much more
awful is the lot of the eggs in China! Their lovely, white, un-
blemished shells being unmercifully cracked open often after
boiling! their soft, harmless insides being fried in oil! baked!
poached! shirred! and, most horrible of all, egg foo yunged! Is
there no God who will have mercy on the eggs in China?

Are you still unconvinced? Do you not see the need for action?
Can you not hear the screams of innocent eggs? Are you a low-
down, pinko, commie egg-hater? Are you getting tired of all these
questions?

But I am sure that threats and violence are unnecessary, and that a
simple appeal to your delicate sensitivities will be sufficient to gain
your succor: if you don't help the cause of the eggs in China, the
great dinosaur elephant bird will dance Swan Lake in your hair!

Save the eggs in China! Do you part for ornithology!

And finally, consider the cosmic implications! If, as upholders of
the Good and the Right in this world, we allow such heineous and
grotesque treatment of the eggs in China to continue, can we not
anticipate the eminent destruction of human civilization as we
know it? Think of the deprivation! No more meringue! No more
souffle! No more Col. Sandbox's Kentucky Freaked Chicken! Are
you content to watch the world crumble around your feet, getting
crumbs in yourshoes? Consider the children don't beeggish! Act
now and, for the low price of only $6.95, you can help to save the
eggs in China.

To order your "Save the Eggs in China" kit, send $6.95 plus $14.00
postage and handling, to The International Association to Save the
Eggs in China, Ooglala, Oregon, 75001. Your kit includes a 2 page
full black and white brochure on "How to housebreak your Cissus
Rhombifolia," a book of 7,504 delicious recipes you can make
without eggs, an autographed posthumous photo of Chairman Moa
(excellent for dart games and rifle practice), the address of every
Senator and Congressman in the nation who has failed to support
the movement to save the eggs in China, and an honorary 200 year
membership in the SPCE (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Eggs). If you order right away, you will also receive an all expense
paid trip to the nearest john.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to become a philanthropist,

In protest to the proposed ban
on saccharin by the FDA Ms. Sue
T. Enlowe of Atlanta told-
reporters last week that she
planned to reenact the ex-
periments done on rats by
Canadian scientists with the
artificial sweetner.

After three days of drinking
800 cans of diet soda Ms. Enlowe
is under surveilance at Piemouth
Hospital. She apparantly
developed slight bladder dif-
ficulties. Her doctors are study-

COMPTON - In Compton,
California police are reliving the
Cindarella story after a small
house which was being used as a
laboratory for the manufacture
of illegal drugs blew up just after
midnight.

A woman was seen leaving the
area dragging what seemed to be
a jack-o'lantern and a cage with
two very large rats inside. A
witness said that the woman was
barefoot. Apparently in her
haste, the woman ran right out of
her shoes.

The sheriff has the shoes in his
possession and is currently con-
ducting a county-wide search for
the fugitive. "So far we've gotten

half of the county combed," he
said. They have tried the shoes
on every female in the area and
so far the police have run out of
places to put the suspects.

"If we don't get anywhere with
this method we'll just have to
start checking out the men", the
sheriff explained.

PARIS - The latest word in the
baggy look for next fall's
wardrobe is a full sweater at a
prudent thigh length topped off
with a hood tied at the top to

bloomers under the sweater and
charming new accessories...

The famous designer suggests
a week old wad of tissue neatly
tucked under one sleeve,
preferably in a matching shade.
The paper bag look can be
converted to horse blinders for
evening wear.

The 55 mile per hour speed

The new 8-2-8 schedule has
been approved for next year.
Each student should carry a
minimum of forty hours each
semester. Plans also include an
intensive 24-hour per day
internship in the interim period.
Those planning a double major
should consider another college
or eight years at Agnes Scott.

All prospective transfer
students requesting transcripts
from the Registrar's office
should meet on Monday at 11 : 30
in Gainesburger for further
instructions. Students are urged
to come early, as seating may be
limited.

In keeping with the new liquor

Mr. Firstworth was pleased at
the reduced mess on the

ing that since the government
did take away their major

they should be provided with an
alternate source. "Many of my
colleagues agree with me that it
would be a fine idea to make
serious traffic violation fines be
paid by the organ of your

Letters
to the

Ed

by Legs Pamberson
Dear Ed:

I am writing to express my
concern as a concerned student
of this school. I am concerned
with the total lack of concern ex-
hibited by the students of this
school. It concerns me that there
is so little concern in evidence at
a school which has such a
reputation for concern as does
this school. Does it not concern
you that the lack of concern at
this school has become a cause
for concern?

I have another opinion that I
would like to express. I feel that
more students at this school
should expresstheiropinion. It is
my opinion that the general
opinion cannot be known unless
everybody at this school ex-
presses her opinion. This is only
my opinion, of course, and it may
seem opinionated, but I believe
that every person has the right to
hold their own opinion, and to
express that opinion even if the
expression of the opinion is not
called for.

I would also like to take this
opportunity to voice another
complaint. Everyone at this
school seems to have no time for
work, they complain, but I don't
hear anyone complaining about
not having enough to time to
complain. My complaint is that
people at this school are so busy
complainting. If they have a real
complaint, they should do
something to alleviate the source
of the complaint instead of just
complaining about it.

Thank you, Ed for this op-
portunity to state my mind. We
live in a land so overflowing with
opportunity, and yet we so often
fail to take advantage of an op-
portunity when the opportunity
arises. I don't want to seem op-
portunistic , but I make it a point
to take advantage of my op-
portunities at every opportunity.
Sine erely,

D's dancers dazzle in festival

by Clove Barn
(alias Minni Stockedwell)

Last week Agnes Scott's
repertory dance company, Miss
D's School of the Dance,
presented a dazzling dance fes-
tival graced by some of the
world's finest dancers and
choreographers. Both modern
and ballet generes were
represented, as well as
Broadway, tap, and vaudeville
styles. Under the direction of
Mrs. Dearest Delightful, a full-
length concert was presented in
Gainesburger Chapel.

In the week preceding the
performance, students from
Miss D's school of the Dance
participated in numerous master
classes and lectu re-
demonstrations taught by the
visiting choreographers. The
music and the mirror were both
very much a part of these as-
piring ballerinas' lives, and fre-
quent cries of "I can do that!"
were heard emanating from the
gym stage. However, many
hopes were dashed as hopeful
dancers received evaluations
from the class instructors. On a
scale of one to twenty, the
highest score for an individual
was for dance, ten; looks, three.
Choreographers participating in
the festival included George

Balancing, Alvin Ailing, Twyla
Twerp, and the legendary
Moutha Graham-Cracker. Miss
Graham-Cracker led breathless
classes through her infamous
contortion series. Only one ma-
jor injury was sustained, oc-
curing as two biology majors
practiced Graham-Crakcer's
revolution around the body. The
two girls suffered from "spinal
spiral." One witty observer
noted that the two paralyzed
bodies distinctly resembled the
double helix formation of
double-strained DNA.

The week's activities
culminated in the exciting
concert in Gainesburger. Several
classics were performed by
guests artists and the corpse de
ballet. Partnering those
members of the corpse of ASC
dancers who could (somehow!)
withstand swooning were the
super-stellar defective dancers
Rudely Neveroff and Mush
Brushemoff. The evening's
program included dances from
two Broadway smash hits, "Bum-
bling Brown Sugar" and "A
Coarse Line." Agnes Scott's own
"B & B Dancing Duo" tapped
their way to fame in these
numbers. Both "Babbling"
Brook and his sidekick, "Si"
Burns were offered careers on

Bedford speaks to
Single Scotties

by Ralph McGillicuddy

Mr. Bedford will be the
speaker at Convocation on April
6 at 11:30 a.m. in Pressher Hall.
Mr. Bedford is a noted
conservationist, ecologist, and
actor, well known for his roles in
"Butch Cassidy and the Fun-
dance Kid," "All the President's
Women," and "The Fling."

Mr. Bedford will speak on Sex
and the Single Girl, a popular
topic of interest at Agnes Scott
College.

Sex and the Single Girl is a
topic Mr. Bedford is well ac-
quainted with. Dividing his lec-
ture into three topics, How to,
How Often to, and Where to,
Mr. Bedford graphically points
out the need for Sex and the
Single Girl. In the first part of his
lecture, Mr. Bedford will refer to
that noted book Everything You
Always Wanted to Know About
Sex, but were afraid to try. A
limited amount of copies of this
book at a reduced rate are
available at the Career Planning
Office. Quoting Mr. Bedford. "I
have found through careful
screwtiny that this book informs
the single girl as to what is up and
coming in laymen's terms." The
second part of Mr. Bedford's lec-
ture, How Often to, can be
summed up in four words: as

often as possible. And the climax
of his lecture is the third part,
Where to. After conducting
many stimulating studies, Mr.
Bedford and his volunteers from
ASC got up a list of places Where
to. They are: the tower of Main,
the dining hall during Sunday
lunch, the top of the Hub, the
maid's closet on Sunday
afternoon, the stage of Winter
Theatre, the Meditation Chapel,
the observatory, the swings on
Rebekah's front porch, the ten-
nis courts, the elevator in the
library, a practice room in
Presser, the infirmary, the alum-
nae house, and the security of-
fice.

In appreciation for being
allowed to be on the volunteer
committee with Mr. Bedford, the
girls have decided to erect a
memorial to the Lecture Com-
mittee.

In spite of the frigid winter we
have had, Mr. Bedford hopes
that this lecture will arouse a new
interest in the more erotic things
in life at ASC. And, in conclusion,
Mr. Bedford hopes his lecture
will be informative as well as
casual. If any girls have questions
that his lecture left unanswered,
he hopes they will find the
answers in his pamphlets, "The
Bigger the Better," and "The
More the Merrier."

However, the two were last seen
shuffling off to Buffalo...

Other dance classics staged in-
cluded "Chicken Pond," with
Rudely Neveroff partnering one
of Miss D's own, Josephine Alpo,
in the leading roles. Ms. Alpo
brought a spicy Latin flavor to the
ballet with her magnificent pas
de burrito. Neveroff's ethereal
leaps and bounds mesmerized
the audience as he finally landed
in a triumphant pare de fois gras.
The ballet ended amid
thunderous applause with an
interesting menage a trois.

Mush Brushemoff was
featured in Twyla Twerp's recent
classic, "Shove Comes to Push,"
which was very well received by
those familiar with the 11 :45 a.m.
situation in the dining hall lunch
line. However, the evening's
highlight was the world
premiere by Moutha Graham-
Crackerof the sequel to her most
famous work. Both Neveroff and
Brushemoff danced roles in the
new choreographic work,
"Adirondack Autumn." The
evening ended with a long stan-
ding ovation for all the
choreographers and dancers in-
volved in the festival. A short
reception followed the event,
abbreviated by the velocity with
which descending droves of
hungry residents of Rebuttal
Scott Hall devoured every
morsel in sight. It is rumored that
the participating
choreographers have planned a
new collaborative work entitled
"Hand to Mouth," inspired by
movements of ASC students at
the reception.

There are many new movies in
town. Some are worth seeing,
and, needless to say, some worth
not. And if you find yourself con-
tinually patronizing movies that
are more potent than ether, it's
your own fault. You must learn.
Beware of the theatre that offers
hassle-free parking and mid-row
waterbed seats that
automatically rock. Hassle-free
parking often means you're the
only one. And indication you
really shouldn't ignore.

For the more fortunate of you
who read my reviews, may I put

Moments Best Forgotten

by Audio Nomore
For the greater part of the
March 15th meeting of the Rep
council, a discussion was held
concerning the possibility of es-
tablishing a nearby place of
recreation and entertainment
for the students of Agnes Scott.
This measure was originally in-
troduced by Freshmen Bee
Keeny, whose father is in the
resort business at Jekyll Island.
She claims that due to the short
amount of time given for
holidays many students are
unable to travel home. Bee
suggested that the Student
Government Association allot
enough money toestablish "Rep
Resorts" at Jekyll Island. This
would give students an op-
portunity to either work or relax
at these resorts. Rep Council
unanimously passed a resolution

to present this to the student
body for a vote. All the council
members agreed with the sen-
timents expressed by President
Lindy Dodges: "Weare really ex-
cited that this measure has met
with so much enthusiasm within
Rep and hope that the student
body will react similarly. No only
will these resorts provide a
wonderful opportunity for fun in
the sun, but they could
conceivably be used as a means
to extend the curriculum at
Agnes Scott. If this measure
passes, we predict that Agnes
Scott will be the first liberal arts
college to offer a degree in Hotel
Management, Nightclub
Entertainment, and Life
guarding. We really should not
allow this magnificent op-
portunity to pass us by!"

The recent outbreak of panty
raids that has swept the country
finally hit Scott. Two nights ago
seven Tech fraternities staged a
raid on Main. No one on campus
became upset about the going
ons until it was noticed the
senior girls were still in their pan-
ties at the time they were being
thrown out the windows (March
28. 1957).

In order to conform with their
newly adopted rules, 152
members of this year's freshmen
class, created the largest traffic
jam Decatur has ever known.
After last week's rush parties at
Tech the girls lined up on the

perimeter of the Scott campus in
order to finish off the last of their
drinks and avoid breaking the
alcohol rules. Fifteen police cars
were called in to restore peace.
The girls were returned safely to
their dorms and no charges were
filed against them by dorm coun-
cil. However, seven girls were
arrested for drunkeness and
indecent exposure and spent the
night in jail (Sept. 20, 1969).

The spirit of the sophomores
searching for the freshmen class
mascot can be carried to ex-
tremes. Last Wednesday night,
with 24 hours until the bonfore,
the sophomores were very

because the big question was still
unanswered. One of the girls
then got the idea to kidnap some
members of the Freshmen class
and hold them until the answer
was obtained. Five girls were
jumped on, blindfolded and
taken away to a hiding place.

Four hours later they were
returned with the sophomores
muttering something about it
not being worth the gray hairsor
the carziness that could result
from being locked in a room
with the kidnapped girls. The
answer was gotten later that
night with an unrevealed
method (Oct. 30, 1972).

who goes on to contend the
world's champion swimmer.
Syllie Spumoni wrote, directed,
and starred in his movie and
hark, a star is born. Clark Spitz,
played by the man himself, is the
world champ who dares anyone
to contest him in the 800-yard
meter. Salty, reeking of self-con-
fidence (also known as "The Fin-
nish Fish" back home in the
Bronx) meets the challenge. But
not without diligent preparation.
For months. Salty daily ingests
tumblers of warm yeast.

Meanwhile, Arachne, a con-
vincing role played by Taj Mahal,
enteres the scene as a lifeguard
at the neighboring pool.
Arachne and Salty become
romantically linked but only
after Arachne changes her
happy - but-homey looks.

Arachne becomes two-eyed
instead of the usual four and
beings the flaunt her well-
hidden beauty. Myopic but
lovely, glowing under her bot-
tled sunshine, Arachne becomes
an added incentive for Salty.

After many months of training,
Salty who had suffered from
webbed toes from birth,
suddenly seems at home in the
water. "The Finnish Fish" finally
meets Clark Spitz and a dramatic
battle ensues. They tie an
unbelievable six times and the
judges are forced to solve the
split decision. The verdict? Well,
I might as well tell you, we've
come this far ... Clark Spitz reigns
again. Defeated, eyes bulging
from the chlorine, Salty is debas-
tated. But Arachne appears to
comfort him forever and alas, the
perfect ending never ceases to
exist.

33 years of teaching

Margaret G. Trotter dies

by Lynda Harris
and Ginni Rockwell

Perhaps we should begin by
saying this is probably the most
difficult writing assignment we
have ever had. This is not an ob-
jective news article, not is it a
eulogy. We do not feel that we
can, or should, attempt to
condense and summarize a life
in a few short paragraphs
punctuated by the finality of a
period. Margret Trotter's in-
fluence on our lives is not final;
we remember, and carry with us,
her singular perception and ap-
preciation of life.

Margret Guthrie Trotter was
born on October 27, 1907 in
Staunton, Virginia. She com-
pleted her undergraduate
degree in French at Wellesley
College in 1930. She received her
M. A. from Columbia University
and her Ph.D. from The Ohio
State University. Miss Trotter
joined the Agnes Scott English
Department in 1944 and at one
time served as Chairman of that
department. Her fiction has
appeared in The Saturday Even-
ing Post, The Georgia Review,
Perspective, and in the an-
thology, Georgia Stories. She
contributed material for A
Southern Album, and recently
edited Robert Frost: Read and
Remembered. Always involved
in creative writing, Magret
Trotter was Director of the Agnes
Scott College Writers' Festival
1972-74. Miss Eudora Welty was
invited to speak at the 1977 Fes-
tival in honor of Miss Trotter's
dedication to Agnes Scott's
young writers.

"She had a depth and breadth
of knowledge not found in many
people anymore. She was never
a dilettante; she knew so many

things, and knew them well
and that's important. Magret was
always reading, always studying,
always learning, always
growing." (Margaret W.
Pepperdene)

Miss Trotter never stopped
reading French, and in her sixties
began studying Russian. She was
also an avid golfer, and for a time
played weekly with Ann
McConnell.' Miss McConnell
recalled that Miss Trotter was ap-
preciative of nature and enjoyed
walking the course, naming each
tree and flower along the way,
almost more than playing the
game. She was always grateful for
her physical ability, and walked
to work every day.

Mrs. Pepperdene
remembered an example of her
intense curiosity. Once Miss
Trotter's dog had the usual en-
counter with ticks. Mrs
Pepperdene was, of course, most
concerned that the ticks might
somehow accompany the dog
into Miss Trotter's house. She
became fascinated by the
parasite's life cycle, and in no
time knew almost everything
there was to know about it. Even
in this small matter, her mind
reached beyond the trivial and
workaday.

"In her writing classes she
could always find something
good to say about a student's
work. The classes were filled with
anecdotes about writers who
had come to the campus and
stories of poets and people she
had known, all recounted in her
quiet, calm voice. She never
seemed to get flustered, and she
had a wealth of patience with her
students." (Kate Kussrow)

Her steady, calm nature was
emphasized last fall during a

violent storm and subsequent
electrical blackout. "I was having
my usual freshman English
conference with Miss Trotter
that afternoon in her dim, cool
office in Buttrick. As we were dis-
cussing my most recent paper,
the lights suddenly went out, ac-
companied by a loud
thunderclap. The only light came
through a small, high window
behind her desk. Yet we con-
tinued our conversation for
another thirty minutes, That is
how I remember Miss Trotter:
the shy but strong voice and the
slight, silhouetted figure, leaning
forward in encouragement."
(Ginni Rockwell)

"Musing through three years'
worth of poems, stories and
scribbled thought, all of which
Miss Trotter is a part, I've found
one of her last notes to me, grac-
ing the space beneath a recent
poem: 'i've enjoyed you and
shall miss you.' Miss Trotter, now
I, with finality, say the same to
you. I enjoyed and shall miss
your shy way of teaching me the
painful process of distilling
language writing poetry.
Without your strong poetic con-
victions, subtle praise and gentle
patience, how else could I have
learned to banish sentimentality
and discover the integrity of
feeling. You have been my own
Robert Lowell, tinkering with,
improving, refining the expres-
sion of those feelings. And,
though you could have said it
more gracefully, I'm sure, you
have actually helped me to be, as
you were, true to myself. Thank
you." (Kitti Smith)

"She was never abundant in
her praise, a fact which helped

Agnes Scott Writer's Festival
Features Eudora Welty

by Anicia Lane
Having Eudora Welty grace
our campus for the 1977 Agnes
Scott College Writers' Festival
has been a rare treat. Rare,
'because Ms. Welty seldom lec-
tures these days, preferring to
devote her creative energies to
writing rather than public
speaking, and a treat, because
she is a celebrated writer, gifted
with a talent for catching the
subtle nuances of everyday
people and with it, weaving a
richly colored tapestry that
remains with the reader long
after the book is closed.

In a recent interview
published in The Washington
Post (Aug. 1972) Eudora Welty
described herself as a " ...
thoroughly visual person (who
has) to have a sensuous image."
She is expecially fond of poetry

preferring the works of Yeats,
Donne and Marvell to modern
poetry. A favorite novelist of hers
is Jane Austen, although she also
enjoys a good mystery novel or
whodunit, gardening books,
cook books, and dictionaries.

Only recently (in the last ten
years or so) has she been able to
support herself by writing. Her
now-famous stories, "The Worn
Path" and "Why I Live At the
P.O." in her collection, "The
Green Curtain" were rejeczed
many times before they finally
found the light of publication.
She published her first story,
"Death of a Traveling Salesman"
at the age of 24.

Commenting on her thirty
year friendship with her literary
agent, Diarmuid Russell, she said
(in The Washington Post

interview), "When he offered to
be my agent, I didn't even know
there were agents. I just sent my
stories off to the magazines and
when they came back, I sent
them off somewhere else. It's still
the best way. It's how everybody
gets started."

What does this dynamo of
energy do when not turning out
Pulitzer Prize-winning novels or
writing short stories? Most likely,
entertaining guests at her home
in Jackson, Miss, in the house she
has lived almost all her life where
she is reputed to be an excellent
cook and gardener.

Among Ms. Welty's most
recent works are "Delta Wed-
ding", "The Robber
Bridegroom", "The Ponder
Heart" and "The Optimist's
Daughter".

Profile/ April 8, 1977

Editorial

Opening Lines

As the new editor of the "Profile" I would like to make my first
statement a word of thanks to Peggy Lamberson. As former editor,
she is to be congratulated for maintaining the integrity of the
"Profile" as a reflection of ASC, and keeping her sanity. As for
myself, I have no sanity to maintain, therefore I have nothing to lose
in the coming year.

I cannot give any details on what I expect to make of the "Profile"
in the coming year as I have made no claims to being a prophet. I ex-
pect the "Profile" will speak for itself. Hopefully, ASC students and
faculty will make themselves heard through this publication. The
more response we get, the better we can publish what you need to
know.

Contrary to popular belief, the "Profile" is not published to be
read as a last resort in case one finds oneself with nothing to do over
the weekend. The paper should inform as well as stimulate interest
in the campus community. This paper is a sounding board for airing
situations which need to be changed, for commenting on actions
administrative or otherwise which demand commentary, and for
establishing lines of communication via information between
members of our campus community.

If student or faculty member on campus feels the wheelsare roll-
ing over his/her head and cannot do anything about it, at least with
the aid of the paper it will not go unnoticed. Silence on campus,
often translated as apathy, makes it easy for this campus to be run
with out regard for the feelings of the ASC students and faculty. I do
not believe the campus is as apathetic as many claim it is. I have
heard too many mealtime heated discussions to believe that. But
the main issue is that these discussions usually arise after the fact,
when little if anything can be done.

Perhaps if we stop counting bricks on the way to class every day
and become aware of ourselves and each other, ASC can become a
more involved community. By making use of the "Profile" and the
other outlets at ASC for expressing our views, we may not make
things always function the way we want, but our opinions will
definitely be known.

Dear Colleagues, Students,
Friends:

In the February 4, 1977, issue
of The Profile appeared a letter
signed by Marvin B. Perry, Jr.,
President, containing certain
allegations about me. At the
time I refrained from replying
in order not to make matters
more difficult for the A.A.U.P.
who was trying to reach an
understanding with the
President, but I reserved the
right to do so later (The Profile,
February 18). I apologize in ad-
vance for the length and
personal character of what
follows. In the face of malicious
rumors and more malicious
hints I have no recourse but the
whole truth.

1) President Perry alludes in
his letter to my "legal status in
France", "freedom to return
there" and "unfortunate
circumstances". Here are the
facts.

Since the day of her birth my
daughter, Tatiana,, was en-
trusted, by mutual consent
between my wife and me, to
the care of my mother. When
we decided to seek a divorce,
my wife's lawyer advised her to
take possession of the child,
which she did. Unfortunately
she took extremely bad care of
the little girl. To spare my
daughter's feelings I shall not
go here into unsavory details,
but, after making repeated ef-
forts to regain possession of her
in a lawful way, I was con-
fronted with the dilemma:
leave her to be destroyed or
transgress a court decision.
After careful consideration, I
took my child and I moved to
this country, as so many did
before me, in quest of justice
and freedom.

That is all. No dark hints at my
past, no hopeful squinting at
file cabinets, will conjure up
any ghosts but that one. I
certainly feel no guilt for what I
have done, rather the opposite.
My ex-wife nevere reclaimed a
child she did not really want.
And the French courts -
although they may have
condemned me at the time -
now give me the right to return
to France, plus a clean record,
as I will gladly prove to anyone
interested enough to ask.

2) President Perry chides me
for not disclosing my situation

eleven years ago. Freedom to
return to France, he writes,
"was considered to be essential
for a teacher of French".

Obviously it was nof since,
although Dr. Wallace M. Alston
knew the truth of the matter, I
was kept on the faculty for
many years, and moreover
asked to teach Russian though I
had never been to the U.S.S.R.

3) In his February 1, 1977,
letter to Dr. Perry, Dr. Alston
states in reference to me: "The
College could not consider
granting him tenure wh/7e his
official record with the French
courts was threatening or
clouded". Whenever Dr. Perry
quotes that sentence he omits
the second part.

4) President Perry mentions
that "he was fully apprised of
this situation by President
Alston". He does not mention
that he was also fully apprised
of it by me and that at the time -
but he has forgotten it now - he
told me he did not consider the
situation relevant where the
granting of tenure was
concerned and the only thing
he required for tenure was a
doctorate.

5) As to the causes for my be-
ing given a terminal ap-
pointment, the President men-
tions two "main" ones:
"enrollment in Russian courses
had dwindled to practically
nothing, and enrollment in
French classes was not suf-
ficient to justify the present
complement of faculty in that
department." With respect to
that statement four questions
come to mind:

a) What are the "non-main"
causes? why are they not
stated?

b) is the term "complement
of faculty" applicable to a
teacher who has served for
eleven years, especially when,
simultaneously with his dis-
missal, new faculty is hired?

c) was not the dwindling of
the Russian enrollment
conveniently arranged, as
suggested both by the number
of students expressing at
present an interest in Russian
and by the number of students
formerly complaining about
Russian not being offered?

d) if the enrollment in French
is so low, how can the following
be explained: for academic ses-

announcing.

There will be a lecture on
Dream Analysis at Decatur
Federal Savings and Loan on
April 12. It will be from 8:00-
10:00 at 2942 North Druid Hills
Rd. The title of the lecture is
"The Dramatic Reality of
Dreams" FREE.

The Disco party scheduled for
Friday, April 8, has been
cancelled.

Information regarding
summer housing for students is
available in the Office of the
Dean of Students.

April 5 Mortar Board tapped its
new members: Judy
Bartholomew, Marguerite
Booth, Shirley Chan, Leigh

Dillon. Mimi Holmes, Susan
Kidd. Martie Lovvorn, Kaki Man-
ning, Page Patton, Betty Philips,
K it ti Smith, Becky Strickland, and
Cathy Winn. Mrs. Hallie Alex-
ander Turner, who was a
member of Agnes Scott's original
honorary society HOASC in
1918, has chosen to become a
member of Mortar Board.

The officers were announced
at Mortar Board Convocation:
President: Betty Philips; Vice
President: Susan Kidd
Secretary: Mimi Holmes
Treasurer: Judy Bartholomew
Hist orian: Becky Stricland.

sions 72 through 75 the average
number of students per 101
section was 13.2, whereas for
academic sessions 75 through
77, it has jumped to more than
18. which is contrary both to
the students' interest and to the
College publicity about
student-teacher ratio? (Figures
may be approximate since no
official data were used, but the
trend is clear.)

6) President Perry's Profile
letter is a quasi-literal
reproduction of the letter he
wrote to the A.A.U.P. on
January 27. A comparison
between the two is enlighten-
ing on one point. Agnes Scott
catalogues being easily
available here, Dr. Perry does
not include for campus con-
sumption the following
sentence: "It is not true that the
College is advertising
nationally for another teacher
to teach courses presently" - I
imagine the President means at
present - "taught bv Mr.
Volkoff". The courses in ques-
tion are French Civilization and
French Conversation which I
alone have been teaching for a
number of years.

7) Both letters contain the
same ironic passage. It is when
the President touchingly
remarks on his willingness to
"help a faculty member" in un-
fortumate circumstances". I
confess it had never occurred
to me that kicking out a faculty
member after eleven years of
good and loyal service, at a time
when teaching positions are as
difficult to find asthey are now,
could be considred as helpful.
Frankly it would have been
much more helpful to be dis-
missed before I had spent one
quarter of my life serving a
certain, supposedly Christian,
institution.

Justice, freedom ... Chris-
tianity. Yes, there was a time
when they reigned here, and
for them I am immeasurably
grateful, as I am to all the
students, teachers and staff
members who, for the past
months, have been ambushing
me in classrooms, halls,
m a i I r o o m , bookstore,
quadrangle, library, office,
even restrooms, to express
their sympathy for my plight,
their dismay at what they con-
sider a blatant injustice, and
more often than not their hope
for a better future. Thank you,
thank you. You have helped me
indeed to live through very
dark hours. As to the future,
who knows? I might yet prove
the luckiest one ... One last
word. There is at Agnes Scott a
typically American institution
which I deeply admire: the
Honor System. Dear friends, I
am proud to have practiced it
hand in hand with you for
eleven years. Others can be
intimidated or bribed - Honor
will not.

With love for many and
respect for all,

Vladimir Volkoff,

Associate Professor of
French and Russian

my writing ability but not my
visions of myself as a writer. One
day, after a detailed critique of
one of my poems, she turned to
me and said, 'You must realize
that one spends time criticizing a
work only when one feels that
there is a deeper value worth
saving.' Surprised, and
somewhat embarassed, I replied
that this was a nice way of look-
ing at it. She paused for a
moment, then smiled and said,
'Well, I don't fertilize a flower
garden in hopes of growing
weeds.'

"Thank you, Miss Trotter; I'll
think of you if I ever bloom."

"Margret Trotter was
Switzerian in her reverence for
life and nature. She brought the
tremulous excitement of a child
to past and present discoveries in
nature. I cherish the memory of
her response to the Jungfrau
suddenly unshrouded in the
twilight to postcard pic-
turesqueness and larches lurch-
ing in the wind. I cherish the
memory of a shared hike up the
chasm of Groner to walk acrossa
pasture in a profusion of Alpine
flowers. Finally I cherish the
spirit that could delight for a
mutual Vermont friend that the
bluebirds annually returned to
nest in her appletree." (lone

Helen Vendler, award-winning
literary critic, speaks April 27 a!
Agnes Scott College. Her talk,
entitled "The Way Yeats Ends
Poems: Some Instances/' is at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. The
public is invited at no charge.

Vendler writes book reviews
for the "New York Review of

Southern Hospitality works

Applicants' Weekend '77 has
come and gone and so have the
prospective students, all 46 of
them to (hopefully) return as
Freshmen in the fall. This year's
smaller number of prospective
students was due to January
Open House which attracted a
large number of applicants.

Twelve states from Alabama to
New York were represented.
One student came from as far
away as Kent, England.

Talking with one prospective
student revealed some interes-

ting impressions: a student from
Delaware, interested in political
science and Spanish, found
Agnes Scott's dorms "at-
mospheric". She also praised the
students here as "very hos-
pitable" and appreciated the
relatively quiet campus. She was
particularly impressed with the
biology dept., especially the
museum and exhibits.

A full schedule of activities in-
cluded visiting classes, enjoying
the Agnes Scott Glee Club
Concert, a reception, a taste of

dorm life, an informal discussion
with faculty members, an even-
ing out at the Omni or the
theatre, and a Creative Arts
Presentation and Student Life
Panel.

The Admissions Office and
Mortar Board as well as the en-
tire campus community are to be
commended for the success of
Applicants' Weekend ac-
complished through Agnes
Scott's special brand of
"Southern hospitality". A big
thank-you to ail who
participated.

April 23

Tarns to perform at Dance

The Agnes Scott Social Council
will sponsor its annual spring
dance this Saturday, April 23,
from nine p.m. to two a.m. at the
Hyatt Regency. The charge is
$8.00 per couple.

A much-requested band, The
Tarns, will liven up the night with
their popular sixties' sound. The

Tarns have produced records
and are know for their
"show-band" performances.

Pictures will be taken, but
those who want formal shots
(two 5" x 7" and 8 wallet) should
remember that they will have to
buy them. With the regular
shots, however, you will have the

option of ordering them or not.

Anne Getchell, of Social
Council, requests that Agnes
Scott students discourage their
dates (and each other, if neces-
sary) from removing signs and
numbers off the hotel doors. This
was a problem at the last dance.

of intensive study in Marburg.
Courses such as kjtermediate
German, Conversation and
Composition, Culture and
Civilization, and Literature
courses on the 200 and 300 levels
will be offered. There will also be
numerous field trips and cultural
events. The minimum number of
hours that can be earned is 5,
while the maximum number of
hours possible is 10. The ap-
proximate dates of the program

will be from June 15 to July 30.
However, for all those
interested, a twelve-day tour
throughout Central Europe will
also be scheduled. This is a great
opportunity to expreience the
language and culture of
Germany and other parts of
Europe! All students interested
in additional information should
contact the head of the German
Department, Mr. Gunther
Bicknese.

Agnes Scott goes
to Washington

In the fall of 1977, Agnes
Scott students will once again
participate in American
University's Washington
Semester Program. Qualified
students may enroll in a variety
of programs, which include
American Government,
Foreign Policy, International
Development, Economic
Policy, and Science and
Technology. During their stay
in Washington, students may
live in the dorms (often coed) at
American U., attend seminars,
hear guest lectures, and work at
internships in various public,
private, and non-profit agen-
cies.

Who is qualified to
participate in the Washington
Semester Program? Students in
the program are juniors and
seniors with majors in the ap-
propriate fields in which they
attend. For instance,
economics majors qualify for
the Economic Policy Semester
Program, while science and
mathematics majors could
attend the Science and
Technology Program. History
and political science majors can
choose from several programs,
including American
Government and Foreign
Policy. In 1977, Agnes Scott ris-
ing seniors Judy Miller and
Elaine Wilburn will attend the
Economic Policy and American
Government programs.

How does one go about ap-
plying for the program?
Interested students should first
consult their faculty advisers in
order to determine the value of
the Washington Semester ex-
perience to the student's
academic and career as-

pirations. Application is made
in February of the academic
year before participation.
Students should then consult
Dr. Brown, Chairman of the
History and Political Science
department, for details. Dis-
cussion with former
Washington Semester
participants is also invaluable.

What are the details of calen-
dar and credit hours? Since
American University operates
on a semester calendar, Agnes
Scott students would be in
Washington during the fall
months until shortly before
Christmas, when the semester
ends. In terms of transferable
hours, this means that the
participant would return to
Agnes Scott with hours com-
parable to a heavy quarter load,
perhaps twenty hours. Many
students thus feel they are get-
ting a special bargain which
gives them more freedom in
course selection upon return to
Agnes Scott. However,
students receiving financial aid
for the academic year in which
they will participate should
consult the Office of Financial
Aid as soon as possible, in order
to work our the details of
payment, grants, loans, and
employment. Other con-
siderations must be made. A
student must weigh the value
of her involvement and
positions of responsibility at
Agnes Scott against the op-
portunities for first-hand
research, intensive study, prac-
tical internships, and cultural
activity in the nation's capitol.
Washington Semester clearly is
not for everyone, but it may be
just right for you.

ASC Honor System Spring Fever hits

What does "Honor System" mean to you? Is it something you
only think about during exams? Is Honor Court ASC's answer to the
gestapo? In the past two years there has been a considerable decline
in the effectiveness of the Honor System at Agnes Scott. Not only is
it disregarded in the dormitories, but academically the situation has
led to annual threats of doing away with self-scheduled ex-
aminations.

A recent example is the case of a freshman last quarter whom I
heard being reprimanded for not only speaking about her exams,
but divulging the nature of those exams. It is of less concern
whether she went before Honor Court for the violation, than the
fact that she was unaware of the significance of the violation.
Although one organization in particular was responsible for orien-
ting the incoming freshman class, their amazing ignorance cannot
be blamed on that one organization. Close contact with many
freshmen showed not a deep appreciation of the Honor System, but
an attitude which merely acknowledged its existence. Orientation
organizations should have been in close enough conjunction with
each other so that the problem could have been spotted and
corrected at the outset.

There are clearly gaps in the functioning of the Honor System,
Honor Court must be commended for following through with it's
duties usually without any hesitancy. When for example it comes to
taking action in the case of repeated thefts within a dorm,lj-lonor
Court has been if not prompt, at least thorough in investigating the
problem. Here again Honor Court's total independence of action
lends an unnecessary air of secrecy to the entire organization.

This builds up tension especially in dorm situations where action
has been taken by Honor Court to curb a violation but the
students have no idea whether the situation has been remedied.
The inevitable gossip that follows from the lack of a reliable source
on the matter creates friction between hall mates and often throws
unjust suspicion on fellow students. Granted, part of Honor Court's
need for secrecy stems from the desire to protect past offenders and
or those who are innocent of supposedly commiting a violation. But
more often than not, secrecy leads to increased tension, and ram-
pant inaccurate rumors. As the situation stands now, it seems Honor
Court operates for the protection of a minority rather than the ma-
jority. The Honor System needs to be re-established as a way of life
for the ASC student. That cannot happen until Honor Court and the
rest of the student body starts being honest with each other.
Members of Honor Court are often treated as a group apart from
the student body.

Honor Court and the student body must work together if the
Honor System is to survive here. There is a vital need to establish
communication between Honor Court and the student body, both
parties are too often left in the dark about matters which directly
concern them both. Man Perez, editor

Spring fever has reached
epidemic proportions at Agnes
Scott College; there are even
rumors that some members of
the faculty have fallen victim to
thisdread disease. Officials at the
Health Center report that they
have sent blood samples drawn
from infected students to Atlan-
ta's Center for Disease Control,
but the DCD has been unable to
isolate the germ that seems to be
causing irresponsible behavior
among Agnes Scott students.

A biology student speculates
that the epidemic has spread
more rapidly than is usual
because of the current sanitation
workers' strike. She maintains
that the spring fever bacteria
have thrived on the uncollected
garbage made fertile by Atlanta's
frequent rainfall.

The president ot the college
has warned that if the epidemic
continues to spread, the campus
may be quarantined. If this
becomes necessary. Agnes Scott
will be constantly patrolled by
security guards and all Emory
and Georgia Tech students will
be refused admittance. The
chairman of Social Council has
announced that three disco
parties will be held each week in
order to make up for those that
would be cancelled due to a
quarantine.

Students are urged to report to
the Health Center any signs of
spring fever that become evident
in previously uninfected
students. The ten warning signs
of spring fever are the following:

(1) A discoloration of the skin
due to overexposure to the sun.

(2) Restless energy that can only

announcing.

Course Selection Week will be
May 3-11. Instructions for course
selection will be given at class
meetings on Monday, May 2.
The freshman class will meet in
Maclean, the sophomore class
will meet in the biology lecture
room, and the junior class will
meet in Gaines Chapel. All
students who are planning to
return next fall are expected to
attend their class meetings. Mrs.
Hudson will meet the the
freshman class, Mrs. Petty with
the sophomore class, and Dean
Gary will meet with the junior
class.

Department chairmen and ad-
visors to freshmen will have their
office hours posted for Course
Selection Week. Dean Gary, Mrs.
Petty, and Mrs. Hudson will also
be available to confer with
students. Catalogues for 1977 are
expected by April 25.

seniors planning to take the
Graduate Record Examinations
(GRE) Aptitude Test next fall will
see some changes in the exam. A
new section designed to
measure analytical skills will be
added to the traditional areas
that test verbal and quantitative
skills.

The change is based on an ex-
tensive research effort initiated
by the Graduate Record Ex-
aminations Board that showed
that analytical skills can be dis-
tinguished from verbal and
quantitative skills and are related
to academic success.

Students, faculty members,
and administrators from all over
the country were consulted in
the various planning stages of
the change in the exam.

Educational Testing Service
(ETS), which administers the ex-
am for the GRE Board, explains
that the additional measure will
enable students to demonstrate
a wider array of academic talents
when they apply for admission to
graduate schools.

Janis Sommerville, GRE

program director at ETS ex-
plained that, like the traditional
measures of the GRE, the new
test will use various kinds of
questions.

"Three types will be used in
the analytical section: analysis of
explanations, logical diagrams,
and analytical reasoning ques-
tions, each designed to test a
different aspect of analytical
ability," she said.

Somerville also explained that
no formal training in logic or
methods of analysis is required
to do well on the new measure.

"Some analytical skills are re-
quired and developed in
virtually all fields of study," she
explained. "And, like verbal and
quantitative skills, analytical
skills are developed over a long
period of time and are not
believed to be improved to any
significant degree by intensive
study in a brief period of time."

Somerville also noted that the
1977-78 GRE Bulletin of In-
formation will describe the new
measure and will include sample
questions and explanations of
the answers. The Bulleting issent

be released through frequent
games of tennis, volleyball and
softball. (3) Insomnia between
the hours of midnight and 4 a.m.
and a reluctance to rise and shine
at 7 a.m. (4) Becoming engaged.
(5) Frequent absence from
classes. (6) A listlessness most
evident in the library.

(7) Claustrophia. (8) An un-
controllable urge to sit under a
tree. (9) A craving for ice cream
and lemonade. (10) Compulsive
numbering of days on the calen-
dar.

What do you know about the
key policy? There has been a
proposed change. Find out for
yourself what it is. It WILL affect
YOU! Let someone '(like
Interdorm, Dorm Council, Rep
members) know what you
think about the proposal.

the GRE.

In addition, a Sample Aptitude
Test containing the same
number and types of questions
as the actual exam can be
ordered at one dollar per copy.
Both publications will be
available on August 1.

Despite the new addition, the
GRE will remain a three-hour test
since the verbal and quantitative
portions have been shortened
and the time saved allocated to
the new measure.

The GRE is taken each year by
about 300,000 college students as
part of the admissions process to
graduate school. The exam is
offered six timesa year, while ad-
vanced tests in 20 subjects are
offered five times a year
throughout the nation.

Airport '77,

The Slipper and the Rose

Good and Bad

by Ralee Cates

Ordinarily one would open
The Profile and expect to see one
movie review. This week you'll
be getting two for the price of
one. I can easily preface this
article by saying, "I have some
good news and some bad news."
First, the bad news.

Once upon a time Arthur
Hailey wrote a superb novel en-
titled Airport. Shortly thereafter
Universal Pictures came out with
a fine picture of the same name
which was in essence a conden-
sation of the novel. A few years
later they came out with another
film also named Airport, but this
time they added 7975 to the title
and rearranged the cast as well as
a fine story. What they came out
with was a very poor picture. By
this time everyone hoped the
producers had learned their les-
sons, of course they hadn't.
Universal pictures now presents
Airport '77 a dubious distinction
at best.

Somehow they assembled
stars the likes of James Stewart,
Olivia de Havilland, Jack Lem-
mon, Lee Grant, Brenda Vaccaro,
George Kennedy, and Joseph
Cotton into the cast of Airport
'77. To accomplish this feat they
must have greatly oversold the
script or held a gun to their
heads. Personally, I've never
been so embarrassed for any
group of people in my life. They
tried so hard but even these
bright people couldn't save this
turkey.

Basically the plot goes along
the same lines as the other two,
only the disaster has been
changed. Again we have all these
people involved in their own lit-
tle lines and somehow they all
get tangled up with this big
dumb airplane that craches in

the Bermuda Triangle and traps
everyone underwater. Well
we proceed through the movie
midst the moans and groans on
screan and the belly laughs in the
audience. I won't tell you how it
ends but if my cat can guess it I'm
sure you can too.

The motto of the film is ... 747's
make great submarines, or -
Surely you know by now not to
waste your time on any film with
Airport in the title.

Now for the good news ...

One of my fellow Scotties ap-
proached me the other day and
asked with wide-eyed
wonderment, "Don-t you ever
like any movies"? My answer to
that was yes, The Slipper and the
Rose.

The Slipper and The Rose is a
beautiful telling of the story of
Cinderella. Its cast includes
Richard Chamberlain as the
Prince the way you've always
imaginedhim, Gemma Craven as
the beautiful Cinderalla, and
Dame Edith Evans as the dowager
Queen. The entire cast is ex-
cellent and they really make the
wonderful fairy tale come true.
The costumes and settings are
lush and elegant. The entire film
is like onf of your childhood
dreams. The music is the kind
that grabs at your heart and pulls
at its strings. You feel the music
pulsing through your veinsand it
enchants you.

The true test of a movie like
this is its universal appeal. I had
two children aged seven and six
with me and the audience a mix-
ture of adults and children. Not a
child in the audience fidgeted
and neither did an adult. When
the children and I cried it was
together just as it was when we
laughed. The film touched the

Raped? Yell "FIRE!"

Portia Warner, a Rape
Counselor with the Multi-Area
Rape Crisis Council (MARCC)
spoke to a gathering of Agnes
Scott students on April 11 at 8
p.m. It was informal and highly
informative. Ms. Warner is an ad-
vocate of "preventive medicine"
or things to keep in mind to
prevent a rape from occurring.

First, she suggests understan-
ding what kind of person com-
mits an act of rape. He is usually
between the ages of 18-39, tends
to live in the area in which he vic-
timizes. Black men usually rape
black women; white men, white
women. 50% of rapes, says Ms.
Warner, occur in residences are
classified as a "rape of op-
portunity". That is, the criminal
breaks into the home for the
purpose of robbing, discovers a
woman at home alone and rapes
her. Or vice versa. Ms. Warner
stressed that not all rapes are
committed at night on a deserted
street. She suggested securing
the home with dead bolt locks
and avoid undressing in front of
a window.

How do you prevent a rape
after you're attacked? "Think
fast!" was Ms. Warner's advice;
use any tactic that comes to
mind. Know your assailant. If he
has a knife to your back, scream-
ing may make him panic and
he'll kill you. Try something else;
talk him out of it. Make you
r apists see you as a person. A real
ive individual person. With
feelings. So cry. Or tell who you
are (or make something up)
the important thing is to illicit his
sympathy. Rapists don't see
women as individuals, but as a
piece of property to abuse or a* a

symbol for all the women in his
life who have hurt him. If the
sympathy ploy doesn't seem to
be working, THINK FAST! and
use your long nails. Scratch. Or
bite. Or poke his eyes. Or kick.
Or scream, "Fire!" not Rape!"
People will respond to a scream
of "fire" whereas they tend not
to want to get involved with
"rape". Those little spray cans of
mace don't always work,
especially if they've been carried
around in the purse for a long
time (6 months to a year) and
should be disgarded. A nail file,
scissors, pencil, or hair spray
works well as weapons.

If you're raped, Ms. Warner
advised a trip to your local police
station who will then take you to
Grady Hospital's Rape Crisis
Center for a medical ex
amination. Remember what
your assailant looked like so you
can identify him in court.
"Anger," said Mrs. Warner, "is
healthy. Let loose. Prosecute
your assailant; don't be ashamed
of having been raped." A rapist,
allowed to go free, will more
often than not commit another
rape.

How to prevent a rape in the
first place? Ms. Warner's com
mon sense advice includes tak
ing a self-defense course at the
YWCA, traveling with someone
else, especially at night, and
don't linger in giving directions

Ms. Warner urged everyone to
deal in a sensitive manner with
someone who has been raped.
She plans to facilitate other in
formal discussions at Agnes Scott
in the future. Get involved. It
could happen to you.

Scotties raise over $500 in
March of Dimes "Superwalk

33

Fourteen Agnes Scott students
took up the fight against birth
defects last Saturday, April 16, by
participating in the March of
Dimes 7th annual "superwalk."

The twenty-mile walk was
sponsored by the Atlanta As-
sociation of Life Underwriters
along with the March of Dimes
Metro Atlanta Chapter. The "all
new" route began and ended at
Chastain Park, just off Roswell
Rd. in North Atlanta. There were
eight check points along the
routes. Each check point had
water, restrooms, foot specialists
(Podiatrists), R.E.A.C.T. two-way

communications, and Red Cross
personnel. There were also
refreshments along the walk
route.

Every participant in the
"superwalk" was responsible for
finding sponsors for at least .05$
per mile. Agnes Scott students,
faculty, administration, and staff
members found themselves
reaching into their pockets at the
requests of the diligent walkers.

The Agnes Scott participants
were: Katherine Baushell, Lil
Easterlin, Laura Hanson, Melanie
Hardy, Christy Johnson, Susan
Kidd, Laurie McCord, Mary Ann

Obermeier, Robin Ransbotham,
Sandra Saseen, Margaret Seitter,
Cam Smith, Mary Alice Vasilos,
and Frances Wickes.

Breathe Clean Air Month

The first week of May is
Clean Air Week. The Georgia
Lung Association is setting
aside May as Clean Air Month.
The problems with improving
the quality of our air needs
attention ... and more.

To start off the month, a car
emission check will be held in
many parts of the state. Auto
emission causes most of our
polluted air especially in the
larger populated areas. In fact,
a new study has found that
people who drive to work are
exposed to more than tiwce as
much carbon monoxide as
other travellers.

This study involved 62
nonsmoking volunteers who
work in the metropolitan Bos-
ton area, who are not oc-
cupationally exposed to carbon

monoxide, who come from
different geographical areas,
and who use different methods
of getting to work. Personal ex-
posure to the pollutant was
measured by equipping the
volunteers with portable
carbon monoxide samplers.
The volunteers carried these
monitors with them for three to
five days during both com-
munity and working hours. The
exposure readings were com-
pared to those from stationary
monitors.

Besides the not unexpected
finding that the people in
private automobiles breathed a
lot more carbon monoxide
than did those in mass rail tran-
sit, the study found that the
stationary monitors significan-
tly underpredicted one-hour

A big change - not a baby one! The Clairmont Emory Inn over by the VA

fresh and new as a newborn babe (but not quite as cute, of course!). And what's
more, if you need "TLC" like I do, the Camelot Inn is where you'll find it. They

Softball hits Scott

by Melanie Meadows
If you've seen what resembles
the L. A. Dodgers on the hockey
field lately, stop and takea closer
look. No, it's not the Dodgers,
the Reds, or even the Atlanta
Braves' spring training camp. It's
one of the dorm Softball teams
sponsored by Athletic As-
sociation and Kay Manuel of the
P. E. department.

The eight teams consist of the
Rebekah Rabbits, coached by
Jennifer Scott; the Bowen-
McCain BM's, coached by Harry
Whitehead; Hey-Hey Hopkins,
coached by Steven Haworth; the
Inmanities (a last minute name),
coached by Lee Pate; the Main
Convalescents, coached by
Bucket Taylor; Walters (who call
themselves Great Walters),
coached by Claire Hall; and Win-
ship, coached by Cindy Dantzler.
There is even a faculty team

which has already enjoyed one
very successful outing against
Winship, winning 17-1.

Softball intramurals are mak-
ing a comeback after an absence
"of several years due to lack of
interest. According to Miss
Manuel, this year's response is
much larger than was an-
ticipated. Everyone appears to
be enjoying the friendly rivalry
between dorms.

Another thing worth noting
about the Softball games is the
sense of togetherness they are
promoting, not only within the
campus community itself, but
wimin each dorm. As one senior
put it, "I think it's great! I've
really gotten a lot closer to many
of the girls in my dorm. I'm even
sitting in the dining hall with
people I used to not even
know." Another student ex-
claimed, "I love it! You don't

G-PIRG

gets yes vote

Last week Rep Council voted
to continue funding G-PIRG for
the academic year 1977-78. This
affirmative decision reflects G-
PIRG's involvement with many
projects benefiting students,
campus, and community alike.

At present, G-PIRG is working
on Conservation Week, May 4-
12 in conjunction with the
political science and sociology
depts. Two special events will
highlight the week: on May 4,
speakers representing the op-
posing capitalist and socialist
positions on energy will debate
the energy crisis question and its

possible solutions. On May 12, a
lecture will be presented by Ms.
Omi Walden of the State Energy
Office. Afterwards, there will be
a keg party and presentation of
"The Wasteland", a film focusing
on the need for conservation.

After Conservation Week, em-
phasis will shift toward the
Woman's Rights Handbook. G-
PIRG, with the aid of an Emory
law student, will research such
areas as welfare, social security,
birth control, and housing. The
booklet will be compiled and
published as soon as possible.

Clive Barnes to
speak at Agnes Scott

Clive Barnes, dance critic and
special assignment drama critic
for "The New York Times,"
speaks at Agnes Scott College
May 3. His lecture is entitled
"The Plight of the Theater
Today." The free, public lecture
is at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

Barnes, who has been on the
staff of "The New York Times"
since 1963, writes six or seven
reviews a week, mostly on dance,
and a lengthy Sunday article. He
broadcasts about the theater
over station WQXR and con-
tributes to various magazines in
the United Statesand in England.

He is the author of the books
"Dance Scene, U.S.A." and
"America's Greatest Ballet and
Modern Dance Companies."

Barnes, born in London and
educated at Oxford University, is
now a U.S. citizen. He first began
writing about ballet and the
theater at Oxford, where he was
coditor of "Arabesque" and
several other student
publications on theater, music
and dance. In 1956 he joined the
staff of the London newspaper
"Daily Express" as music and
television critic and at the same

time contributed reviews
anonymously and under
pseudonyms to five other Lon-
don newspapers. In 1963 he ob-
tained an assignments as one of
"The New York Times" two Lon-
don correspondents. Two years
later, "The Times" brought him
to New York as dance critic, and
in another two years he was
given the dual assignment of
drama and dance critic. Curren-
tly he devotes the majority of his
time to dance, writing theatre
reviews only on special oc-
casions.

The Philosophy Colloquium '

Philosophy
course in 1

Philosophy majors recently
met with Richard Parry and
David Behan of the philosophy
department in order to present
a new course offering begin-
ning next year. The following is
a brief description of the
course. For more information,
contact Mr. Parry or Mr. Behan.

The Philosophy Colloquium
is not another course but a
forum in which philosophy
students will practice their
dialectical and critical skills. Ac-
cordingly, a central topic, to be
chosen by the department in
consultation with the
philosophy majors, will be
presented and discussed
throughout the year; topics will
cover areas not usually treated
in the philosophy curriculum.
The Colloquium will meet an
average of four times each
quarter. In the fall quarter, the
philosophical background of
the topic will be presented by
visiting philosophers and
members of the department. In
the winter quarter, the topic
and its philosophical aspects
will be dealt with by profes-
sional philosophers and in-
dividuals whose professions
overlap with philosophy. In the
spring quarter, each senior ma-
jor will offer an oral presen-

dept. offers
977-78

tation in the Coloquium which
will be a substantive con-
tribution to the discussion of
the previous quarters. To
prepare for this presentation,
in the spring quarter of her
senior year, each major will be
required to take a directed
reading entitled Colloqium
Study (405s). Students doing
Independent Study will be ex-
empted from this requirement
on the condition that they
make an oral presentation of
their Independent Study to the
Colloqium. All philosophy ma-
jors are expected to attend the
sessions of the Colloquium
throughout the year.

Man's Control of
Sentient Life:
The Evaluation of Values
p hilophers have always
concerned themselves with the
values human beings adopt
with the moral and political
problems of each age.

In modern philosophy, man
has been conceived of as a sub-
ject set apart from nature; man
is seen as over and against
physical nature and his own
body. Through the
technological advances of the
twentieth century, man has
been able to place himself as
the manager of both physical

new

nature and his own body. And
his optimism about the effects
of his technology has permitted
man often to believe that his
decisions are best for nature as
well as for himself.

During the past decade, the
wisdom of human decision
making in regard to nature has
been questioned. Many as-
sumptions about man's relation
to mature and to himself have
been challenged. And those
challenges have led to con-
troversial moral and political
decisions about, e.g., abortion,
capital punishment, ecology,
scientific experimentation.

We propose to look at the
values adopted by those on
both sides of these and similar
decisions. We wish to seek out
the foundations of their value
decisions. In addition, we wish
to assess those foundations
both in themselves and in terms
of a larger problem, for we wish
to consider whether any single
value system can adequately
deal with the multiform
problems of the present. And,
if a single value system cannot,
we wish to inquire whether
several value systems,
heretofore considered to be in-
compatible, might in fact be
rendered compatible.

Signs of life at ASC

Board members
Enthusiastic

The election of new board members this spring brings the usual
promises for improvements and changes in board activities. This
year the newly elected members have displayed a refreshing vigor
in tackling their new jobs. Student Government and other
organizations have also been active in following through with their
proposals which were introduced prior to being elected. Agnes
Scott is taking a new look at herself from the inside out.

In addition to the committees on academic programs such as the
Independent Study Committee, The Committee on Academic
Problems and several others, special attention is being devoted to
areas of student life at ASC. In case you have not noticed the signs
around campus, Rep Council has formed committees to investigate
some contreversial issues on campus; parietals, the Drinking Policy,
and Mandatory Convocations. Lyn Buchanon, Nancy Perry, and An-
drea Groover head these committees respectively. Although
parietals and mandatory convocations are already in effect - the
committees are investigating student reactions regarding the
policies and their value as a part of the ASC community. Nancy Perry
is investigating the possibilities of changing the present drinking
policy. Interdorm is active also with Mary Jane Norville considering
a change in the present key policy.

All four issues: parietals through the key policy; carry an inherent
challenge to our responsibility to that famous Honor Pledge. Along
with the burst of energy evident in Rep and Interdorm, Honor
Court has made itself known to you through the letter distributed
April 22. The ewnly elected board members have shown a hearten-
ing willingness to work with the students.

This seems a good time to take advantage of their enthusiasm by
responding to the board members and paying close attention to
their plans for next year. The current issues appear more "liberal"
than some previous issues which have come upon campusand may
lead to greater independence for ASC students. But before you start
thumbing your nose at your mother, keep in mind that greater
independence means greater responsibility.

Ah yes - the inevitable question arises: "Can the freshmen handle
it?" The real Question lurks in the shadows: "Can the SENIORS han-
dle it?" Few of us may be able to bear making one more decision in
the morning.

Perhaps rather than taking the attitude that ASC students are los-
ing their conservative attitudes we could give ourselves some credit
for taking a more realistic attitude towards college life. The new
boards could be presenting us with new responsibilities along with
new freedoms. How we handle it may decide whether Agnes Scott
is indeed a "girl's school" or a women's college.

Those of us fortunate enough
to be young and students at a
college such as this, or not-so-
young and among the ranks of
those who teach at a college such
as this, know the spring in a way
that others do not. Ours is, for all
the stress and strain, the happy
lot of those who can see the
summer as a time of dramatic
change: Not a ceasing of work,
but a ceasing of one kind of work
and the taking up of yet another.
The faculty here do not, by and
large, teach during the summer.
Oh, some may take groups of
students to places far off, or not
so far off, and teach, but the set-
ting is different and, I suspect,
the whole tempo will also be
much different from that main-
tained during the school year:
Yet, the number of faculty who
do this is small. And you, the
students, what do you do? Again,
a small portion continue to study
in classes, but the vast majority
seek jobs. And what does all this
have to do with the spring?
Clearly, the spring is the time
before the time of change, as
such it is filled with dreaming,
dreaming of the activity which
will take place, of the people,
unknown, who will be met in this
time, and with planning. Unlike
the fall, there can be nothing lazy
about the spring. Spring makes
us dreamers, yet spring forces us
to act with near-future intent.
Our spring dreams must quicken
into plans and so to the summer.

And what of me, and of my at-
titude toward the summer and
hence to spring? Spring is, for
me, that time before the time
when clocks no longer measure
the day. Spring is a time for the

careful planning of the events
and activities which will com-
prise my leisure. But this leisure
of which I speak is so very im-
portant that I spend time
throughout the year in its plan-
ning. And what, you may well
ask, is leisure? Is it having fun do-
ing nothing? Hardly!

The Greek and Romans
thought much on the subject of
leisure, and there is, so far as I
can see, little agreement among
them. Aristotle cites only two ac-
tivities as worthy of the name
leisure music and contem-
plation. For me the disciplined
contemplation of some problem
which I believe to be important,
a contemplation in the company
of good friends, a contemplation
alone with books and typewriter,
a contemplation in the company
of music, is leisure. Aristotle
holds in the Politics that "We
think of it [of leisure] as having in
itself intrinsic pleasure, intrinsic
happiness, intrinsic felicity. Hap-
piness of that order does not
belong to occupation: it belongs
to those who have leisure." And
so my "occupation" apart from
my occupation becomes,
throughout the year,thecontem-
plation of the problem to which I
will devote my summer contem-
plation! And in the spring I must
make my decision. When I was
your age, I did not know how to
bring myself to disciplined
contemplation, so I spent the
better portion of my summers
reading, or being idle, or taking
courses. I did, I recall, do a lot of
thinking, but of the end of that
thinking I have no memory. I do
know that the thinking which I
did had much to do with the
person who now writes these
lines, but who can trace cause
and effect in the shaping of one's
self? We each have our special
dreams toward summer, and I
can only advise that as the op-

itself that you do that very special

But what of the seniors? For
you who graduate, this is,
indeed, a very special spring, a
very special time. As I remember
it, and as I see you experiencing
the quarter, it is not a time before
time, but a time out of time:

ON BEING A
SPRING QUARTER SENIOR

The last quarter, a time out of
time;

A fleeting finality to girlhood
and easy repine for things I
would

that should be mine.

I tread these halls, these floors,
open, close, lighten, darken
these doors, and in this way ever
and never again.

Sisters before know all this
and more, as they return to such
and such a floor, door, and never
again:

Professors chat;
The Mail Box fills
bringing junk and bills;
The sun my window fills
and the floor or-spills
and lights a book made mine;
Spring quarter senior,
time out of time.

Cap then hood, girl then woman

I stood,
Estate to estate, resolute,

planning to be great;
Achievements and things un-
done,

It slowly distills, disposes
into one.

So glad I am for the past,
For friends that are and

are to be,
For dreams living and more

to be done,
But most of all for those

who helped
in my becoming one.

Unity in time out of time,
Transformation yet incomplete;
Graduation is come
its time to celebrate.
Well done!

Hite Report explores sexuality

by Annette Cook

Editor's Note: This is the first of
a two-part article to be con-
tinued next week.

This article is ostensibly a
review of the Hite Report, a
study on female sexuality but it is
also my chance to say what I feel
about the state of our sexuality.

As women today, we are faced
with many changing attitudes by
society toward society. One area
of change is sexually oriented.
We are in the midst of a so-called
"sexual-revolution" yet we are
basically ignorant of our own
sexual natures and are for the
most part, willing to ignore the
question. I believe that a frank
look at our attitudes toward our
bodies and sex will contribute to
our ability to become mature,
self-sufficient members of our
culture.

Shere Hite says ' "Sex" as we
define it is part of the whole
cultural picture: a woman's
place in sex mirrors her place in
the rest of society.' In other
words, we are faced with dis-
covering our sexual selves and
acting upon this discovery to
change social attitudes to fit our
findings. We are not merely the
passive partner in sex nor are we
any less sexually motivated than
men and if we are not able to res-
pond to sex openly and with a
healthy attitude it is because we
have been taught not to by our
culture, not because we aren't
capable of it. If sex mirrors our
place in society, then we can
change our place in society by
changing our sexual facet.

The major problem in trying to

define our sexuality is lack of
material on the subject. The Hite
Report has helped the situation
greatly by providing us with
personal accounts of women's
sexual problems and some
solutions to the problems. By
reading about them, we can
evaluate ourselves and thereby
come to terms with the truth of
our individual sexuality. In the
Hite Report we have a means of
helping ourselves work through
a complex part of our behavior.

The book is not an encyclopedia
of preconceived sexual behavior
patterns, it is an exploratory
work. The main point which is
obvious throughout the book is
that communication, which is
necessary for understanding and
dealing with sex, is not possible
for most women.

We are conditioned from birth
to regard sex as an unmen-
tionable subject and more im-
portantly, we are taught to defer
to the wishes, needs, and desire
of men. Courage is needed to
break these false molds we have
been pushed into. We are to
blame, in part, for our condition
because in the past we have not
spoken out in defense of
ourselves. We do have the right
to expect just as much pleasure
from sex as men do and if we are
dissastisfied with our sex lives we
must say so. Courage and
security come from knowledge
not ignorance therefore The
Hite Report can help us
overcome our conditioning by
giving us the support we need in
order to change. Change means

communication: before we can
communicate we have to throw
off the past.

I wrote this article because I
feel that we are totally ignorant,
partically because we won't face
ourselves. Our public image is
sweet and innocent and we do
not acknowledge our basic sex-
ual natures. There is no excuse
for this situation. We are mature
women who will one day be in-
volved in sexual relationships if
we are not already involved and
we owe it to ourselves to deal
honestly with sex when the oc-
casion arrives. If we cannot be
honest with ourselves and our
sexual partners we will be in the
same position as many of the
women in Shere Hite's book -
miserable.

The questionnaire from The
Hite Report is a good starting
point for self-exploration. I
recommend reading the book
also but if you do not feel ready
to face the whole issue at once,
the questionaire will at least give
you a chance to begin. I found
myself learning more from the
questions than I had learned
from both Dr. Rubin's books.

In summary, we need to
educate ourselves and others
and we must not beafraid orem-
barassed to learn and to teach. If
our sex lives are to be
meaningful and fulfilling, we
need to know what we're doing.

Replies to this article may be
sent to the Profile or Box 96. I am
quite interested in your reac-
tions and comments. Thank you.

Disaster movie frightens all

A disaster movie that is really
exciting, really suspenseful, and
really frightening is a very rare
commodity. BLACK SUNDAY is
just such a film. The story centers
around a group of Palestinian
terrorists and their plans for
showing the United States just
how serious they are about their
threats.

Their plot involves the
80,000 - some Americans who
have made the pilgrimage to
Miami for the Super Bowl, the
F.B.I., a mad ex-P.O.W., and
some Israeli agents. The plot
itself, is to develop a mechanism
which will destroy all 80,000
Americans at the same time. The
ex-P.O.W., beautifully played by
Bruce Dern happens to be the
T.V. network's blimp pilot,
happens to hold a grudge against
the American brass, happens to
know a lot about construction of

just such a fatal mechanism, and
just happens to be emotionally
involved with the leader of the
terrorists, Marthe Keller. As you
can quickly observe everything
seems to be fitting into a perfec-
tly constructed mold and should
be a fairly air tight plan for those
terrorists. Not so, they didn't
bargain on the Israeli agent be-
ing so bright, and believe me he
is sharp. Robert Shaw is this
character's creator and does a
wonderful job of saving the U. S.
almost single-handedly.

The movie goes along at a
breath-taking pace. As it moves
along the action gets caught up
in your heart beat. You will find
yourself biting your fingernails
and holding your breath. You
will find yourself clutching at the
arm of your seat. In short, I
promise you'll really enjoy this

film.

The performances are really
top-flight. Robert Shaw is the
one moveable force and he,
along with Fritz Weaver, make
up the one element in the film
which offers some reassurance
that everything will eventually
be alright. Marthe Keller is a very
cool and frightening terrorist.
Bruce Dern is absolutely electric
as the mad blimp pilot and this
has got to give him the
recognition he deserves. The star
of course is the GoodYear Blimp.
There is a special, momentary
guest appearance by a certain
V.I. P. - Guess who!

I won't dare to tell you how it
comes out but I heartily
recommend it. The film is BLACK
SUNDAY and it has settled in for
a long run at many of the Atlanta
Theatres.

Write your Congressman
project begun at Scott

Two Agnes Scott seniors,
Melanie Morris and Bonnie Stof-
fle, have begun a project in reac-
tion to President Carter's Energy
Conservation Bill. "We
wondered," said Ms. Morris,
"how many other students were
aware of [the bill.] We
recognized the monumental
effect this bill may have on the
American way of life!"

Morris and Stoffle urge every
student to voice her opinion in
this very important issue of
energy conservation in which
the Bill in question faces a
chance of being defeated in
Congress. That's why it's essen-
tial that each Representative

knows his constituent's' opinion.
"We hope that Scott students
will put some pressure on their
Congressmen," said Ms. Morris.

The two enterprising students
xeroxed the roster of the Senate
and the House and stopped as
many students during dinner as
possible. The question they
asked was, "Do you know who
your Congressman is?" The res-
ponse revealed that half of the
students questioned did not
know and many did not know to
what district they were in. The
roster helped many students
locate the name of their
Congressman.

Their next question was, "Do

you know about President
Carter's Energy Conservation
Bill?" About Va of the students
questioned did not, and those
who did had only a partial
knowledge. They urged
everyone to listen to Carter's ad-
dress to Congress and asked that
each person write her
Congressman and voice her
opinion.

The roster is still on the dining
hall table near the front door.
The address is: Congressman
(Your District), House of
Representatives, Washington,
D.C. To re-word a well-known
slogan, "If you don't write, you
don't count!"

Old fashion country fun begins in Dalton, Ga.

During the first weekend of
May, the historic old Prater's Mill
on the Coahulla Creek north of
Dalton. Georgia, will come alive
as throngs of people attend the
annual Prater's Mill Country Fair,
May 7 & 8, Mother's Day
Weekend. Each year, people
from miles away come to attend
an old-time country fair and to
watch artisans create by-gone
crafts such as bobbin lace-mak-
ing and knife-making, and to en-
joy the entertainment provided
by doggers and gospel singers

and country bands

Not only is the event a country
fair, it is also an arts and crafts
show as well, in which artists and
craftsmen from throughout the
South come to exhibit their
works. In addition to the
traditional arts and crafts like
weaving, quilting, wood-
carving, blacksmithing, basket-
making, and doll-making, there
are also painters, potters,
leathersmiths, and metal
sculptors. The festive surroun-
dings of a country fair provide an
excellent atmosphere in which
to browse and shop for articles
made by some of the finest artists

and craftsmen in the region.

More then anything else
though, the Prater's Mill Country
Fair is just plain fun. There is a
photographer, Walter Alex-
ander, who produces "instant
antique" photographs for those
people who want to pose in a
Civil War and period costumes.
Throughout the afternoon, a
Civil War battle rages, enacted
by the 37th Georgia Volunteer
Regiment commanded by Sgt.
Gene Parsons. For car en-
thusiasts, the Northwest Georgia
Antique Auto Club has a large
display of antique cars.

After tasting the refreshments,

many people may want to attend
just for the food; there is plenty
of good country cooking: ham
and bisquits, peanuts, freshaked
bread, homemade ice cream,
and vegetable soup and
cornbread.

The old mill itself will be of
interest to the historically-
minded. Built in 1859, the mill is
still operable, and visitors can
watch the water-powered
turbines move the huge
millstones which grind the corn
under the watchful eye of
Newell Phillips of Ketner's Mill in
Sequatchie Valley, Tennessee.
Many of the Older local people

who will be attending the fair can
still remember carrying
wagonloads of wheat to the mill
to be ground into flour.

It is recommended that visitors
wear comfortable shoes so they
can enjoy walking through the
mill and grounds to see the many
exhibits and demonstrations.
The fair will be held May 7 & 8,
from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, and from noon until
6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Admission
is $1.00 for adults and children
under twelve are admitted free.

Prater's Mill is located on
Georgia Highway 2, ten miles
northeast of Dalton, Georgia.

Internship criteria clarified

by Ginni Rockwell
Under new (and improved)
guidelines approved by the
Faculty this winter, one may soon
see Scotties in the strangest
places: the High Museum, the
Georgia Legislature, a Senator or
Congressman's office. What's
going on here? In Faculty Com-
mittee-ese, it's called "field ex-
periential gearning." In the
vernacular, it means an
internship. So what's new? Scot-
ties have often frequented such
interesting spots. The difference
is that Agnes Scott students may
now work in an approved
internship, and receive
academic credit.

So, should we all dash out and
secure an "internship" in res-
taurant management at Steak &
Ale? "Certainly not!" shudder
the Deans, faculty, and students.
However, by actively seeking an
internship relevant to one's ma-
jor field of study, and by follow-
ing the new (and asyet untested)
procedures, one can gain useful
experience and academic credit,
while testing all those wonderful
theories learned in class.

Students will recall that the es-
tablishment of guidelines for
internships is a big step forward.
Previously, students met with
uncertainty and lack of clear in-
formation about the Agnes Scott
policy. In response to the con-
fusion, the Curriculum Com-
mittee wrote new guidelines,
which the Faculty passed during
winter quarter. Another com-
mittee is in the process of
evaluating and defining the
needs and desires for
internships. The Committee on

the Future of the College, under
the leadership of Dr. Linda L.
Woods, assoc. professor of
English is studying questions
such as these: Are internships
desireable? What should be the
primary purpose of an
internship? Are students
interested in established
internship programs, or would
they prefer to work them out on
their own? Will the new policy
on internships attract new
students to Agnes Scott, and will
it keepstudents here? In orderto
answer these and many other
questions, the Committee has
tentatively planned a session
students during convocation on
Wednesday, May 18, in Rebekah
Reception Room.

If a student is interested in fin-
ding an internship, whether for
the academic year or the
summer, there are three main
sources to consult. First, one
should speak to the members of
one's department. Often faculty
members receive information on
internships, and wait for students
to actively speak out this in-
formation. Professors can also
help studentsdecide whatsortof
program is relevant to their ma-
jor. The Career Planning Office is
also a fount of information on all
sorts of field experiences, from
their part-day Shadow Program
to summer internships with
government agencies such as
HEW. Another little-known
source is literature to be found in
the file cabinet in the
Conference Room on First Floor
Buttrick. The Committee on the
Future of the harbors here
various directories of internships

for college students. Students
are not advised to interrupt
ongoing conferences in quest of
this valuable material.

Once a student has explored
the possibilities available, she
should go to her major
department about the possiblity
and amount of credit to be
awarded for the experience. A
student should also be aware of
the fact that receipt of credit for
an internship is dependent on
several criteria. For instance, the
internship should satisfy a clear
academic purpose. Regular con-
tact before, during, and after the
internship with a faculty adviser
is also required. Relevant outside
reading may be required, as well
as a research project or paper(s).
A report to the instructor should
come both from the student and
from the student's field
supervisor, and should include
an evaluation of the experience,
of the student's performance,
and of the preparation of the
student for the internship.

The student's department will
recommend how much credit is
to be granted. This recommen-
dation is made to the faculty
Curriculum Committee, where
the program is either approved
or disapproved, and amount of
credit set. The decisions of the
Curriculum Committee are sub-
ject to the approval of the
Faculty. In order to meet the
stated specification that this
process be completed in ad-
vance, the student should,
ideally, initiate this process
several weeks prior to the actual
internship period. For summer

May 9 and 16

Mini-courses offered at Scott

Gail Sheehy's book "Pas-
sages" and the state of Hawaii
are each the subject of two
non-credit short courses at
Agnes Scott College during
May.

"Passages" will be discussed
in two sessions May 9 and 16
from noon to 2 p.m. in Evans
Dining Hall on the Agnes Scott
College campus. The fee for
the two sessions is $10.00 and
includes lunch.

Hawaii's history and culture
will be presented May 10 and 12
from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the
Alumnae House on Candler
Street at Agnes Scott. The fee is
$7.00, and dinner may be
purchased in the Evans Dining

Hall on campus for $2.00 from 5
to 6:15 p.m.

Leading the sessions on the
book "Passages" will be Dr.
Mary Boney Sheats, professor
of Bible and religion, who has
taught at Agnes Scott since
1949, and Dr. Linda Lentz
Woods, associate professor of
English, who has taught at
Agnes Scott since 1968. They
strongly urge seminar
participants to read the book
before the first session.

"Passages," according to the
publisher E. P. Dutton and
Company, Sheehy wrote "to
locate the personality changes
common to each stage of life;
to compare the developmental

rhythms of men and women
which she found strikingly un-
synchronized; and, in light of
this, to examine the crises that
couples can anticipate."

The sessions on Hawaii will
be lead by Dr. Kwai Sing Chang,
Agnes Scott professor of Bible
and religion. A native of
Honolulu, Hawaii, Dr. Chang
has taught at the University of
Hawaii, where he earned his
B.A. degree, and has served as
minister at different times to
two Congregational Churches
in Hawaii.

courses, call the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Office at 373-2571,
ext. 207.

New Key Policy Proposed

Interdormitory Council is
presently considering a new key
policy for keyed dormitories.
The policy was proposed by
Frank Blackmon, head of
Security at Agnes Scott. Mr.
Blackmon feels that tighter
security is needed in the forms to
prevent potential problems such
as rape or stealing.

Under the new policy, all
dorms would have locks like
those on Hopkins now. The
dorms would be locked from
midnight until 4 p.m. Each
student would have a key to her
dorm, so that she would be able
to enter the dorm when it is
locked. However, the dorms
would be open with a hostess on
duty from 4 p.m. until midnight.
During this time dates and other
students would be able to enter
the lobbies of the dorms without
keys. There would be a phone
outside of each dorm for dates
and students to use when the
dorm is locked.

Each student would be res-
ponsible for hsr own dorm key.
There would be som penalty for
losing a key. It would be

imperative, however, that
students report a lost key, as the
safety of the dorm might be en-
dangered.

Freshmen would still have a
curfew fall quarter. Interdorm
Chairman Mary Jane Norville
states that freshmen would still
be required to sign out under the
regular procedure. Freshmen
who returned to the dorms after
their curfew hour would be on
their honor to sign a list in the
Security Office. They would also
sign in with a member of Dorm
Council, who would be res-
ponsible for the sign-in cards in
the form.

The policy for keyed
dormitories will be discussed at
an open convocation later in the
quarter. Interdorm would like to
hear more student opinion
before voting on the policy.
Students are urged to read the
policy, which is posted on the
Interdorm bulletin board, and to
direct all questions and
comments to Mary Jane Norville,
Box 431, ext. 387, or to any
member of Interdorm.

What's the "Wasteland"?

The ASC Political Science, His-
tory, Economics, and Sociology
departments kicked off a week-
long emphasis on energy con-
sumption and conservation by
hosting a "dialogue", Wednes-
day, May 4, between Jack Clark
and John Caldera; Mr. Clark,
representing the Democratic
Socialist Organizing Committee,
and Mr. Caldera, a district
manager for Exxon In-
corporated, began their
dialogue Wednesday morning
with an examination of whether
or not there actually is an energy
crises, and, if so, what the cause
is. The discussion continued
Wednesday night with each man
stating his position on what the
proper response should be to
crises, or alleged crises.

The other activities for the
focus on energy week will be
sponsored by the Georgia Public

Interest Research Group (G-
PIRG) at Agnes Scott. Mary
Romeo, a G-PIRG member, will
set up an information table with
pamphlets on energy
conservation; look for the table
in either the dining hall or the
mailroom. The big finale for the
week and G-|.IRG's efforts will
come May 12, when Omi
Walden, head of the State Energy
Department, will speak to the
campus. Afterwards, G-PIRG will
host a beer party in the Hub and
premiere its student - produced
movie, "The Wasteland", starr-
ing Lynda Harris as "The
Squanderer." "The Wasteland"
emphasizes food waste in the
dining hall, paper waste from all
the needlessly published club
announcements and fliers, and
the energy waste from ap-
pliances and lights left on in the
forms.

Editorial

What a waste to go!

by Anicia Lane, Assoc. Editor
If the electricity wasted in a typical day at Agnes Scott could be
harnessed, we could put the sun on sabbatical for a year. And if the
food scraped into the garbage at Letitia Pate were collected, it
would fill a whole bunch of empty bellies - in America alone, (not to
mention all those hungry children in India one hears so much
about).

Waste. We're all guilty of it. Everytime we leave a light burning in
the middle of the day when the sun's flooding the room with plenty
of light, we're guilty of wasting electricity. Everytime we leave a
room and forget to flick off the light, we're guilty. Everytime we turn
on the TV and/or the radio without thinking and leave them on
when we're not there, we're guilty. And every new electrical gim-
mick we buy is another item that consumes precious energy.

Who cares? We should. Not just because the price of gas and elec-
tricity keeps increasing, but because our selfishness is using up
reserve stock and, contrary to popular belief, energy does not grow
on trees. It has to be recycled. And less of it used up. Look at all the
electricity gadgets we use that could be eliminated or at least used
with discretion: hot lather machines, nail buffers, skin care
machines, blow dryers, water pics, electric blankets, electric yogurt-
making machines, to name a few.

Waste. It pains me to see the amount of food left on plates in the
dining hall. Bowls of peanutbutter. Unused. Stacks of cookies. Un-
touched. Whole sandwiches. Uneaten. Glasses of milk. Half
finished. Juice sitting. Meat. Vegetables. Wasted, It's money wasted,
true. It's also food that the other half of the world is crying
desperately for. Take less and let's stop this needless waste of food.
In this place of overabundance everywhere, let us not forget we are
using up more than we are putting back. And that's simply not fair.

Let's put our energy consumption on a strict diet. The more we
use up now, the less we leave for other people. Now and for future
generations.

by IV. H. Weber

Many of you know that the
modern foreign lanaguage
departments and economics
have been working together to
bring a new program of study to
our curriculum, a program titled
"The Program in Multinational
Business." There is much about
our situation, both from a
curricular and from a locational
standpoint, which argues
strongly for our moving in a
more international direction.
However, my object here is not
to discuss the details of the
multinational business proposal,
but, rather, my objective is to
propose that this College be the
first American college to
participate in President Carter's
Friendship Force.

The Friendship Force, des-
cribed below provides a
mechanism for a truly massive
exchange of people on a country
to country basis, an exchange
projected to exceed over 250,000
individuals by 1980. To this point,
the exchanges have been
organized on a city to city basis,
with Atlanta, for example, sen-
ding several hundred residents
to Newcastle, England, and
Newcastle residents, in like
number, coming to Atlanta. The
visits will be for eight days, with a
day given over for travel each
way, making each exchange take
a total of 10 days. The object of
the program is not sight-seeing.
The object of the program is to
promote friendship, to promote
understanding. In short, the
program is designed to be a liv-
ing seminar in international
relations, a seminar in which
person-to-person conversation
is ths principal text!

This past Saturday I spent
several hours in conversation
with the President of the
Friendship Force, the Rev. David
Wayne Smith. I asked Wayne
about the possibility of Agnes
Scott sending 200 or so students
to a foreign college or university,
while a like number came to
Scott. His reaction: "Great! How
soon do you think you can be
ready to go?" My reply, "Oh, if
there is interest and a will to be
bold, we can do our first ex-
change by next spring."

I am going to assume that
there is an interest, and I am go-
ing to assume that our students,
on whom the organizational
load for such an enterprise needs
to fall, have not only a boldness
of character, but have the energy
and determination to see that we
do indeed "get off the ground."
Given the undoubted
correctness of my assumptions,
what then are the steps to be
taken?

SOME STEPS PREREQUISITE
TO A FRIENDSHIP
FORCE EXCHANGE
(1) As I see it. we must open up
a week sometime in the spring
quarter and make it free of the
usual classwork. We could do

this by cutting off two class days
from the winter quarter and
three from the spring quarter.
During this week we would have
special events, events in which
our 200 visitors would figure im-
portantly.

(2) We need, of course, to
idenfity the foreign college or
university with which we will
make our exchange.

(3) Who will go? As I see it, we
would send our choir in ex-
change for their choir, our
instrumental groups and receive
theirs, our artists for theirs, our
dramatic group for theirs, our
faculty in selected disciplines for
theirs, and so on. The week of
the exchange would then be
given over to our exploring with
their groups their understan-
dings of the world and of the dis-
ciplines and of the arts.

(4) The cost per person is $250,
and some way would have to be
found to help those who really
cannot afford this sum. I suggest
that we all contribute to a fund
for this purpose, and I also
suggest that we seek financial aid
from outside sources.

There are, of course, many dif-
ficulties to be overcome, but, so
far as I can see, there is no dif-
ficulty which is so great as to
prohibit our doing such a thing if
we determine that such an ex-
change has substantial value.

W.H.W.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Q.: How does it work?

A: Through exchange visits.
For instance, a placeload of
citizens from an American city
will fly to a city in another nation
to stay in private homes. The
same plane will bring an equal
number of their people to stay in
private homes in this country.

Q: How long will each
Friendship trip last?

A: Ten days. Those traveling
called "ambassadors," will spend
one day traveling each way. Four
days will be spent in the home of
a host. The other four days are
optional either touring the
host country or continuing in-
home visit. Independent travel
during this second four days is
done at the expense of each am-
bassador. The same general
schedule applies to citizens of
both countries involved.

Q: Where did the idea
originate?

ASC will make available a
limited number of residence
spaces in the summer of 1977 for
currently enrolled students who
plan to work in the Atlanta area.
Room assignments will be made
on the basis of applications
received by May 13. Applications
are available in the Dean of
Students' Office.

The Business Office is an-
nouncing that married student
housing will be available July 1.
Applications are available in the
Physical Plant Officeand must be
filed by May 20.

Madrigals is having d Hub
party on Tuesday, May 10 from
9:00 to 10:00.

The French Department will
be offering a new course in the
spring of 1977-78. French 310.
which is designed for non-ma-
jors and will be taught in English.

A: The Friendship Force grew
out of a project started by
President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter
in 1973 when he was Governor
of Georgia. They made possible a
10-day exchange between 200
Georgians and 200 citizens of the
State of Pernambuco in Brazil.
Rosalynn Carter was one of the
ambassadors on the first flight.
This program has continued for
four years. Strong. lasting
friendship and new understan-
ding have grown from these
trips. The Friendship Force takes
the same format and amplifies it
to include potentially all the
states of this country and all the
nation of the world.

Q: Is this one of the President's
official programs?

A: No. The President has said.
"There won't be any public
funds involved at the state or
federal level. We particularly
want to keep it removed from
government." However, he has
pledged that he and Mrs. Carter
will provide "personal in-
volvement in our spare time."
Mrs. Carter, in accepting to be
the Honorary Chairperson of
The Friendship Force said, "This
project will receive a good deal
of my time and my complete
support, because I am confident
it will promote peace in the
world."

Q: How will it work in other
countries?

A: The organization in each
country will be similartothe U.S.
organization. A national director
will be appointed and will
organize a Friendship Force
committee in communities
which would like to participate.

Q: How many Friendship
Flights will there be?

A: President Carter has said
the goal for 1980 is to have a flight
a month from all 50 states and
countries all over the world. This
would total 600 flights and in-
volve 250,000 people.

Q: Is the whole idea simply to
make friends?

A: Yes. As Rev. Smith puts it,
"Participants will be going on a
good-will mission where they
are to make friends by living in
homes overseas. When we live
with other people, break bread
with them, walk in their
footsteps, a lot of good things
can happen."

Mrs. Hubert, who will be teach-
ing French 310 in 1977-78, plans
to use Henri Peyre's essay, "The
Notion of the Absurd," as a
structural basis for studying
some of the major works of
twentieth-century French
literature. The readings will
probably include Malraux's The
Temptation of the West, Camus'

The Agnes Scott College
Blackfriars invite you to join King
Louis XIV and his Verailles court
for Moliere's curtain raiser "Im-
promtu at Verailles" and his-
comedy "Tartuffe" May 13, 14, 19
and 20.

The Verailles court meets for
the performances at 8:15 p.m. in
the Dana Fine Arts Building. For
reservations to this 17th-century
happening, call 377-1200 begin-
ning May 4.

On view in the theatre lobby
will bea photographicexhibit on
Moliere, 17thcentury French
playwright, and his plays as they
have been performed from the
17th through the 20th centuries.
Throughout the evening, the
Agnes Scott College Recorder
Society will perform.

"Impromptu at Versailles" is a
backstage glimpse at Moliere's
company (alias the Agnes Scott
Blackfiars) desperately trying to
throw together a new show as
demanded on short notice by
King Louis. When the King
relents and allows the company
to stage a play from their
repertoire, they elect to present
"Tartuffe," a comedy of
charcter.

"Tartuffe," according to Dr.
Jack Brooking, Agnes Scott
theatre chairman, focuses on
Orgon, a widowed father recen-
tly remarried, and Tartuffe, a
young and handsome religious

Richard jones, Lynn Summer, and Harold Hall.

hypocrite. Orgon falls victim to
Tartuffe's act of piety and turns
over to Tartuffe, first, his soul,
then his house and fortune and
finally even his daughter, who
lives another. At the same time,
Tartuffe secretly tries to seduce
every woman in the household,
including Orgon's wife.

Orgon is played by Harold
Hall,a veteran of Theatre Under
the Stars, the Barn Dinner
Theatre and Blackfriars produc-
tions. Tartuffe is played by
Richard W. Jones, who has
performed with the Barn Dinner
Theatre and Drama Tech. Prof.

Brooking, who directs the play,
selected the translation by poet
Richard Wilbur, which preserves
the meter and couplet rhymes of
Moliere's script.

May 17, in conjunction with
the play performances, the color
film "Portrait de Moliere" will be
shown at 8:30 p.m. in the Dana
Fine Arts Building, free of
charge. The hour-long film is in
French with English subtitltes
and consists of a series of scenes
from Moliere's plays which
evoke the life and character of
the playwright.

Shakespeare opens at Alliance

A king, a prince and a buffoon
are currently gracing the stage of
the Alliance Theatre.

The pranks played on huge Sir
John Falstaff by Prince Hal and
Poins are hilarious, and the

Philip Kraus and K. Lype O'Dell.

bawdy business at the Boar's
Head Tavern where sac flows and
merriment abounds will delight
all lovers of Shakespearean
comedy.

But Prince Hal does finally
come of age and forsake his old
companions in mischief to take
his rightful place beside his
father, King Henry IV, as the
rightful heir to the throne of
England. The sword fight
between Prine Hal and the am-
bitious young Hotspur is one of
the most breathtaking moments
to be witnessed on stage. The
swords clang, then thrust, and
one gallant young man is left
standing to rule England while
the other lies dying on the bat-
tlefield.

HENRY IV PART I, one of
Shakepeare's favorite history
plays is being presented
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
evenings at 8 P.M. April 28
through May 14. There are
special daytime performances
for students Monday through
Friday, May 2 through May 13.

Playing Prince Hal is Peter
Burnell, recently seen as the
brother "Andrew in ALL THE
WAY HOME. The huge,
uproarious Falstaff is played by
Donald C. Moore.

student or evening
performances, call 892-2414.

Internships

continued from page 7

internships, a student should
start the ball rolling in early April.
However, it may not be too late,
even now. The Curriculum Com-
mittee meets several times each
month, and the Faculty meet asa
body the first Friday afternoon of
each month.

Admittedly, there may bo
many hidden problems and
loopholes in the new official
guidelines. However, these will
soon be discovered, and (it is

hoped) remedied, when they
receive their initial test. In any
case, students will realize the ob-
vious benefits of having a
written, official, and concrete
policy, even though it may be
one with which they disagree.

Internships at Agnes Scott may
soon come out of the realm of
the mystical and into the real
world of the practical, thus
realizing their purpose.

Dr. Rob honored at Scott

by Cheryl Hiers

Dr. Henry A. Robinson, known
better as "Dr. Rob", was
honored last Saturday in a flag-
pole dedication ceremony held
before a large crowd of alumnae
and guests. Professor of
Mathzvatics from 1926-1970 at
Agnes Scott . Dr. Rob's academic
achievements are com-
plemented by distinguished
military service. During World
War II. Dr. Rob headed a recep-
tion center for draftees and later
was transferred to the military
academy at West Point as a
professor of mathematics. He
retired as a colonel in 1947 and
returned to Agnes Scott because
'this was his area - his home, and
he nejoyed working with
intelligent young women." D.
Rob now lives with his wife
Roberta, in a house near the
observatory. Although he may
be very quietly retired. Dr. Rob is
by no means inactive. A director
of Atlanta's Standard Federal
Savings and Loan since its foun-
ding in 1933. he still retains that
post.

Dr. Rob's love for mathematics
runs in the family; his father was
a self-educated civil engineer
and was the one Colonel Scott
made arrangements through to
have the Georgia Railway built
near Agnes Scott. Dr. Rob
followed his father's interest in
numbers a n d took his
undergraduate degree in civil
engineering from the University
of Georgia; he earned his Ph.D.
later from john Hopkins
University. For Dr. Rob.
mathematics is 'a moral subject -
not a dry science that requires
only pedantic accuracy, but
rather, a language that demands
of student creative imagination
and reasoning.'

Dr. Henry A. Robinson
Professor of Mathematics
7926-7970

Dr. Rob certainly exercises his
own creative imagination; he
points out that the logarithmic
spiral formation of a pinecone is
repeated throughout nature -
from "the spiral pleats upon a
shell to the spiral nebulae of the
skies". Dr. Rob sees within the
tiniest object a beauty and order
that reflects the Creator Himself.

Yet. Dr. Rob believes
mathematic's function extends
beyond helping us to recognize
the order in nature; he writes in
an article called "God's
Mathematics" that "in dealing
with a subject like mathematics,
which rejects all error and
demands accuracy and perfec-
tion, we increase our respect for
truthfulness and honesty." Thus
the study of mathematics should
help us to live better, in fact. Dr.
Rob believes that every course
we take should make us live
better.

"Life fains value." savs Dr.
Rob. "not from the abundance
of possessions or knowledge, but
from the spirit of good will which
manifests itself in relations with

others." Dr. Rob aimed during
this teaching career to help his
students grow into their "best
selves." that is. to find the skill
they are best in and cultivate it.

He loved teaching and used his
"creative imagination" to spark
interest in his students; he es-
tablished math clubs and ever)
year would award his best
student a medal of his own
design m recognition of her
ac hievement.

Agnes Scott is fortunate in be
ing able to claim Dr. Rob among
her ranks; he is a man whose
"desire to grow will never be
satisfied." and what's more 4 , he
has the gift of instilling thai
desire in his students.

Retirement-blessing or curse?

For some Agnes Scott em-
ployees, 1 977 will be
remembered as the year their
65th birthday collided with
Agnes Scott's retirement policy.
Some persons have planned for
and look forward to the day
when they can retire. For some,
declining health no longer
permits them to work efficiently
and the day of retirement is a
blessing.

For others, however,
retirement is a curse which
means a drastic cut in financial
stability and produces the
demoralizing effect of wanting
to work but being unemployed.
And unemployable.

Take the case of Mrs. Liska Hill
for example. Mrs. Hill was hired
three years ago by Mrs.

Saunders, supervisor of the Food
Services department on a "semi-
retired" status. Mrs. Hill was
never given a contract stipulat-
ing the diration of her em-
ployment. In June, she will be 65.
Last week she was notified of her
retirement which becomes
effective this year. The salary
from her full-time (40 hr. week)
job in the Hub is not enough to
support a family, but is sufficient
for a single person. She will be
able to draw unemployment in-
surance for a few months and
although she has no retirement
fund, Social Security will provide
a small amount of money on
which to live. However, Mrs. Hill
is in good health and is eager to
continue working at Agnes Scott.
Mrs. Lottie O'Kelley has

worked for Agnes Scott for 13
years. Last summer, Mrs.
O'Kelley took over as the new
head clerk of the post office. She
has enjoyed working in the post
office and does not find the job
particularly strenuous. She has
been asked to retire in June.

Concerned students drew up a
petition on behalf of Mrs. Hill
and collected over 100
signatures. The petition was
presented to Mr. Doyle M.
Dillard, Vice President of
Business Affairs for con-
sideration.

Other persons retiring this
year are Mrs. Temple, cashier in
the dining hall, Dr. W. Edward
McNair, associate professor of
English, and Mrs. Voorhees,
senior resident of Rebakah.

Mr. Parry attends seminar

Mr. Richard Parry has been
selected as one of the twelve
participants for a seminar on an-
cient Greek philosophy to be
directed by David J. Furley at
Princeton University from June
20 - August 12. The seminar is a
part of a Federal program,
Summer Seminars for College
Teachers, which includes 106
seminars covering a variety of
subjects in the major disciplines
of the humanities. A number of
distinguished scholars will lead
the seminars at universities
across the country. The program

is designed to enable teachers in
undergraduate and two-year
colleges to extend and deepen
their knowledge of the subjects
they teach. In addition to the
work of the seminar, participants
will be given the opportunity to
pursue projects of their own.

The topic of the ancient Greek
seminar is "Concepts and Con-
troversies in Greek Philosophy",
involving the development and
criticism of the atomistic theory
of nature. Among the works to
be studied are the formulation of
the atomistic theory by

Democritus in response to the
cosmological systems of
Parmenides and Zeno, the criti-
ques and alternative
philosophies of nature set forth
by Plato and Aristotitle, and the
attempts of the Epicureans to
restore atomistic theory. An
analytic approach to the
arguments used on both sides of
the controversy will be em-
phasized and the revelance of
atomism to the history of
philosophy up the Scientific
Revolution will be considred.

Dorm Council's survey results

Dorm Council members for
the 1977-1978 school session
tabulated the responses to the
recent "Survey on Dorm Coun-
cil" and found that a majority of
the student body wants more in-
volvement from all members of
the dorm community, spring
elections for Dorm Council
members without the privilege
of room choice, Freshman out of
Rebekah, a uniform infraction
system, and no stricter penalties
for quiet hour violations if the
violator has been drinking.

Of 270 surveys completed and
returned, 64% know their
current Dorm Council member
well, 54% found major dis-
crepancies in the present system
of panelties, and 78% would like
a uniform infraction system.
Also, 56% do not feel quiet hours
are enforced, 77% agree with
spring elections for Dorm Coun-
cil members, and 49% want
Rebekah reserved for upperclass
people. A whopping 63% felt
violations of quiet hours by a

person who had been drinking
should have the same penalty as
one who had not been drinking.

Most interesting were the
comments in response to re-
quests for suggestions. There
were some to almost every ques-
tion. According to Interdorm
Chairperson Mary Jane Norville,
the most fascinating were the
comments on enforcing quiet
hours when there is rowdy
behavior on the hall. The follow-
ing are some of the comments:
"A firm 'be quiet' should suffice
for the mature student - an in-
fraction for all others,"
"Threaten to make 'em move to
the infirmary for a week,"
"Lynching!" "Get a whip"
"Short of removing stereos and
sewing mouths together, un-
fortunately, I can't think of
anything that would be "shut-
up" incentive."

She also felt the most inventive
responses came from the
Freshmen in Winship. Some
suggestions were: "Kill em,"

"Beat the hell out of violaters,"
and on hostess duty, "If a boy
can't dial 3 digits by himself, he
shouldn't be dating a girl from
Scott."

Other interesting comments
were: "Plan more get together
activities for dorms and halls so
that they may be friendlier to
each other," "People just need
to be more considerate of others
while living in the dorms,"
"Dorm Council members should
be more strict."

This survey served as a soun-
ding board on dorm problems
for the student body. This was
also Dorm Council's way of get-
ting community involvement
and concern for everyday
problems. Further suggestions,
complaints, and comments
should be directed to the newly
elected Interdorm and Dorm
Council members whose names
are posted on the Interdorm
Board in the mail room.

The livin' is easy.

by Melanie Meadows

As the end of the school year
approaches, many of Agnes
Scott's students are preparing for
a summer of fun and relaxation -
going to beaches, visiting
relatives, sleeping all day, or just
plain goofing off. After all, what
else is a person good for after a
year at Agnes Scott? Well, if
you've got iron poor blood, this
is about as much as you will be
able to handle this summer.
However, after an intensive
investigation, it was found that
there are a number of students at
ASC who plan on having enough
reserve energy to enjoy a
productive summer (if exams
don't kill them).

Many of our students will
leave to be camp counselors this
summer. Martie Lovvorn and
Cheryl Houy will teach archery at
a girls' camp in Texas. Anicia
Lane will be a craft counselor at a
camp in north Georgia and Sue
Barefoot will be at a girls' camp in
Brevard, N.C. Trish Elebash will
be working at a YMCA camp in
Estes Park, Colorado.

A number of Agnes Scott
students will be working at
summer stock theatres this
summer. Sandra Eichelberger
will work at one in Mars Hill,
N.C. The following students will
be at Creede Repertory Theatre
in Creede. Colorado: Elaine
Williams will work as a
journeyman in property design;
Mary Lipscomb, apprentice in
scene painting and construction;
Linda Mclnnis, cook; and Mimi
Holmes, apprentice in creative
dramatics.

Another bunch of students
will be busy in various jobs across
the country. Katherine Harris
will be working in Washington,
D.C. as an intern for Jack Watson
of the Carter administration.
Leigh Minor will also be involved
in the world of politics in

Washington. D.C, doing
research for her congressman
from Arkansas, Bill Alexander.
Susan Gledhill will work as a con-
trol technician at McNeil
Laboratories in Philadelphia,
Penn. Lynn Wilson will challenge
the male-oriented sales world
with International Harvester Co.
in Atlanta. Rita Kitts will work for
a lawyer in Atlanta doing
research.

Finally, another group of
students will spend the summer
in an educational way - travelling
to various places. Dr. Brown will
take a group of students to
England and Scotland where
they will visit several places in-
cluding Stonehenge and
Parliament. Diann Sanders,
Angela Fleming, Kat Gowan,
Jane Hunt, and Bonnie Stoffel
are among those going. Dr.
Simpson will lead a group on the
marine biology trip around the
coast of Florida. The group will
be snorkeling and collecting
marine organisms. Sue Yannone,
Jennifer Scott, Debbie Ballard,
and Laurie Kramer are among
those going on this year's marine
biology trip. Many Agnes Scott
students will be travelling abroad
with other groups. Mari and
Rosie Perez and Stephanie
Chisholm are going to Spain with
a group from Emory; Nancy
Campbell is going to Spain,
Portugal, and Iceland with a
group from Bryn Mawr; and
Ginny Lee is going on a singing
tour to Europe for two weeks
with the Mississippi Youth
Chorale. Two other students are
taking pleasure trips abroad this
summer. Susie Gomez is going to
Colombia, South America and
Sarah Windham is going to the
Virgin Islands. In any case, to all
who are goofing off or being
productive, have a happy
summer!

With the three month limbo we call summer vacation staring us in
the face, we find ourselves caught in a barrage of deadlines, papers,
projects, and readings. As they loom over our heads a sinister voice
haunts our dreams; "You haven't got much time, you have very lit-
tle time, you have no time." The exam envelopes are in-the hour of
judgement is at hand. The campus is already in a frenzy of activity as
the students scamper about, bandanas flying ;jand the notorious line
- "I haven't slept in three days!" fills the mail room. We have all been
through it before and most of us have a few more to survive.

In all the confusion, there is barely enough time to get sen-
timental about the graduating seniors - much less get graduation
presents. One of the more difficult aspects of the sweet and sour oc-
casion is coping with that very tiny streak of terror that comes from
the realization that those caps and gowns mean we do eventually
get out of here. No amount of preparation, academic or otherwise,
will make the transition out of college a painless one. Foronething,
there is the annoying task of having to say goodbye. Numerous
methods have been devised for making a sincere but not corny
farewell. A slight dampness at the edges of the eye, or a
strategic embrace could even make "It's been real." a feasible
farewell. Maybe that is stretching the power of facial expression too
far ... in any case, the Profile staff would like to extend a
"congratulations" to the graduating seniors in cold, sterile
newsprint. We also want to thank you for sticking around long
enough to share yourselves with ASC and company.

Parting Shots

by Sandra Saseen

I doubt if there is a Senior who's not legitimately concerned to a
certain extent about the future of Agnes Scott College. But one
does not have to persevere through the four year program to know
that there are profound problems here which threaten our ex-
istence as a academically sound liberal arts college for women. It is
hard to know where one begins to deal with problems such as lack
of leadership, low faculty morale, significant drops in student
enrollment, increasing inflation, and so on. There are two possible
solutions which I believe could solve some of our problems to a
considerable degree. They are: 1) The unification of a divided
faculty, and 2) The expansion of off-campus learning experiences,
more commonly known as internships.

First of all, a few words of praise for the faculty. They're a
dedicated, underpaid group of people striving to maintain
academic standards. They're also unfairly burdened with the res-
ponsibility of leading the college through the difficult and challeng-
ing years ahead. It is imperative that they put petty conflicts aside
and unite in taking Agnes Scott in a sane, progressive direction of
liberating academics. It is no easy task to organize a large group of
people into a unifying group of decision makers. But action must be
taken now to fill the leadership vaccum which exists.

The new policy on internships will play a significant role in at-
tracting new students to Agnes Scott as well as keeping students
here. Internship possibilities for students are many, now that the
Curriculum Committee has written new guidelines for internships
which were approved by the faculty during winter quarter. Students
owe it to themselves to take the initiative of exploring the numerous
opportunities in the Atlanta area. Internships are a wonderful way
of expanding a student's learning experiences and enabling her to
get a feeling for a possible career choice.

To the Editor:

In regard to your editorial in
the April 22nd issue of the
Profile, I felt the need to respond
to you, the students and faculty
of Agnes. Scott. I am truly ex-
icited that something was written
concerning the Honor System
because we all too often think
about it only during exam time
or when something seems to
threaten our way of life.

The Honor System here at
Agnes Scott is a unique rule of
conduct that allows much
academic and social growth with
many unwritten freedoms. It is
the responsibility of every
student and faculty member to
maintain the academic and social
freedoms we have so that we can
continue to live under our
Honor System without any
added pressures. Unfortunately,
there will always be a few in-
dividuals who do not believe in
this way of life or perhaps
because of a mistake will violate
the system. It is at this time that
the Honor Court members,
elected by the student body, are
responsible for deciding what
has happened and what will be
the best help to that student here
at Agnes Scott. The Honor Court
member as well as the chairman
do not go around looking for
problems, trying to play the role
of the modern day CIA, nor do
they separate themselves from
the rest of the student body
because of the position to which
they have been elected. Rather,
they try to maintain the
education of the Honor System
so that it will forever be sup-
ported by the Agnes Scott com-
munity.

When someone starts violating
the social and academic policies,
that someone is taking ad-
vantage of the rest of the com-
munity and it is the responsibility
of everyone, not just Honor
Court, to help prevent this from
happening.

Hopefully, not many of you
will ever have to come before
Honor Court because of an
alleged violation, but what
would happen if you did? I am
sure you would not want the
whole community to know that
you, either by mistake or with
intent, committed a violation.
This is there the dreaded
"secrecy" comes in. Because
everything is confidential, if you
make a mistake you won't have
to pay for it the rest of your life by
having somebody drag it up from
the past. On the other hand, in
situations where groups of
people such as dorms are in-
volved, secrecy can become a
very destructive force if you let it.
It is here where generalities tend
to play havoc with the system
and can generate an atmosphere
of distrust.

The only way we as students
and faculty members at Agnes
Scott can maintain the Honor
System is by becoming more
aware of ths social and academic
freedoms that we have and by
helping educate those that are
new to our way of life.

Your Honor Court members
will be open to discuss any ques-
tions with you at anytime. On the
other hand, you must also be
honest with us, and if you have
any gripes or complaints, please
come talk to one of us, because it

Sincerely,

Lucy B. Hicks
Chairman of Honor Court

To the Campus Community:
Many students and faculty
members having expressed their
concern for my position, I con-
sider it my duty to put the Cam-
pus Community up-to-date.

1) I am still being fired and still
without cause. When I asked
President Perry what his real
motive for firing me, he replied
(before witnesses):

"I don't have to give you a
motive."

2) The A.A.U.P. still considers I
have earned tenure but does not
intend to investigate the case.

3) Although (or because?) I
had repeatedly warned him that I
would not accept any money,
the President has suggested a
financial settlement. The
amount, for some cloak and
dagger reason, could not be
written but only uttered on the
phone, and that not even by the
President but by the negotiator.
According to that negotiator it
was $13,000,00.

4) A financial settlement could
have been a decent solution a
year ago. Now, after my
reputation has been damaged,
and the President has - at best -
done nothing to protect it, I can
only feel I am being offered
some kind of hush money.

Therefore I have rejected the
President's offer and pointed out
to him that there are still a few
things money cannot buy.

Problems with student budgets

by Julia Midkiff

That his daughter will make it
through four years of college on
a balanced budget is every
father's dream. But as is the case
with most dreams, it is never
fulfilled. Our fathers know the
heartbreak of once-a month
phone calls from the bank in-
forming him that janie is
overdrawn again.

And every family has ex-
perienced the discovery that
long-awaited letter is a bread-
and-butter letter.

"Dear Mom and Dad.

How are mings at home? It's
raining here in Atlanta. I got an A
on my German quiz. Please send
me $10.

Love.
Your Daugnter"

Some of us are more direct
than others and appeal to a sense
of family pride.

"Dad,

I owe my roomate $50. Send
sufficient funds or she'll own my
stereo.

J."

And when we are overdrawn
or need money, what excusesdo
we give our parents? "Daddy, I
know this is the third time this
quarter I've been overdrawn,
and I promise to do better, but
my books cost more than I ex-
pected, and after I spent $30 at
Six Flags, I didn't have enough
money left, and I had to buy my
books." Or, "Mom, you know I
want to lose weight this quarter,
and all this Slimmer and Metris-
cale stuff is expensive, and the

daily workouts at Elaine Powells
make the bill add up, and Fat
Watchers costs $6.95 each week,
so I've got to have more money
or I'll have to go back to eating
salads in the dining hall and ex-
ercising in the gym and dieting
with my roomate so we can com-
plain together."

The real reason we overdraw
our bank accounts so often is
because our priorities are so
numerous; things like
doughnuts, make-up, suntan oil,
study breaks and gas for trips to
Tech cost a lot. But there is no
need for our parents to worry, by
overspending we are in the
process of training for positions
of financial leadership in the
federal government.

Burt Reynolds opens restaurant

Atlanta Ever picture
yourself in the Cary Grant or
Grace Kelly role in "High
Noon"? Or, as Rhett Butler or
Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With
The Wind"? And wouldn't you
have liked to visit the locker
room set in Burt Reynolds' film,
"The Longest Yard"?

If your answer is "yes", then
you're in luck. Burt Reynolds -
yes, THE Burt Reynolds - opened
a unique restaurant in Atlanta
called Burt's Place at the Omni
International on May 15th.

At Burt's Place YOU are the
leading lady or man or the sup-
porting player if you prefer.

The 10,000-square foot res-
taurant is an authentic reproduc-
tion of a Hollywood sound stage.
Guests may dine in reproduc-
tions of sets from eight of
Hollywood's- most memorable
films. The sets are: the saloon
from "High Noon"; the
teahouse from "Teahouse of the
August Moon"; the dining room
from "Gone With The Wind",
and the trolley featured, in "A
Streetcar Named Desire." Also,
the locker room from one of
Renolds' films, "The Longest-
Yard"; Hernando's Hideaway
from "Pajama Game"; the back
room from "Nickelodeon",
complete with silent films; and
the bow of the paddle-wheeler
Cotton Blossom from "Show
Boat", actually afloat in water.

And, towering over the sets
are catwalks, cables, scenery
ropes, spotlights, cameras and
other movie studio
paraphernalia so much a part of
the Hollywood world of make
believe.

The restaurant will be open for
lunch and dinner and the menu
selections will correspond to the

theme of each set. For example,
items such as seafood gumbo,
oysters and Creole dishes will be
served on the "Show Boat" set,
while hearty beef stew, steaks
and ham with homemade bis-
cuits are featured in the "High
Noon" saloon setting. All the
menu selections are a la carte.

In addition to the eight theme
dining areas, there will bea disco
area called "Burt's Joint" which
is to be contemporary in style

and mood. It consists of a raised
glass dance floor with a
caricature of Reynolds reflected
beneath it. Patrons may dance
under the strobe lights or relax in
the dimly lit sidelines.

Burt's Place was developed by
Lloyd Adams and Bill Brach,
chairman president of Atlanta-
based Restaurant Ventures, Inc.
and conceived, designed and
created by Savannah designer /
architect Tommy Anderson.

Women learn about their bodies

Last week I said we were
ignorant in the ways of our sex-
uality; this week I would like to
broaden that statement and'say
we are ignorant about our
bodies and their functions and
disfunctions, not just about sex.
For our own protection against
bad doctors, and our ignorance
we need to be in control of
ourselves.

Our Bodies, Ourselves is
geared toward self education of
women. As they state, their
intention is to help women learn
about our bodies in order to
have control over them and our
lives. "We seek to communicate
our excitement about the power
of shared information; to assert
that, in an age of professionals,
we are the best experts on
ourselves and our feelings; to
continue the collective struggle
for adequate health care. We
intend to stimulate women (and
men also) to the kind of dis-
cussion and action which leads
to continuing growth and
change."

Every facet of our female
bodily functions is explored in

by Annette Cook
this book. Sexuality, rape,
birthcontrol, pregnancy, and
menopause are only a few of the
topics discussed. Each subject
has a chapter to iteslf with an ex-
tensive bibliography at the end
of the chapter. Thus, if we wish to
pursue a topic further, we have
the means available. There is
even a chapter on the pros and
cons of having a child which is
helpful in making our decision
on this most important subject.

Although it is hard to conceive
of any of us never having had a
pelvic exam, the section
concerning the procedure and
possible problems which might
be found during the exam may
help alleviate any irrational fears
we may have toward the exam.
Many pictures are included
which give us a very clear idea of
our internal anatomy. With this
knowledge in hand, we can go
into a pelvic exam knowing what
to expect and knowing what we
should receive from the doctor.

Perhaps the single most im-
portant chapter to me was Tak-
ing Care of Ourselves which
dealt with everything from

mutrition to common reproduc-
tive disfunctions and their
treatment. In protecting
ourselves from infections and
worse problems we must have c
clear idea of them and of
alternative treatments. For ex-
ample, one of the common
infections, trichomonoiasis is
frequently treated with Flagyl, a
drug which has been proven, in
separate studies to cause birth
defects, cancer and gene
mutation. The Nadar Group in
Washington pushed to have it
taken off the market but the FDA
will not comply. It is frightening
to know a doctor can prescribe
such a dangerous drug with out
our knowledge of the effects.
The final statement on drugs in
this chapter is of special interest
to pregnant women, it says,
"there is no drug or anesthetic
which is without some risk or
harm to the fetus in utero, and
most drugs cleared by the FDA
for use during pregnancy or dur-
ing childbirth have been tested
on adult males rather than on

Her mission is Belgium

by Anicia Lane
Missionary. Conjures up
images of heathen natives in
darkest Africa cooking a
Bible-toting evangelist? Not
necessary; our own Cherol
Crutchfield, a Jr. philosophy
major, leaves June 9th to do
missionary work in Belgium
where she plans to "let the
Lord use" her knowledge of
French and the Bible.

I asked Cherol how she
lucked upon this venture.

"I first heard about Greater
European Mission [the non-
denominational missionary
agency which engages in
evangelism in 13 European
countries] last spring when
Bill Boerops spoke during a
campus-wide mission em-
phasis week on 'Why Europe
Is a Missionary Field'."
Though many people think of

Europe as the "hub of Chris-
tianity", Cherol pointed out
that actually very few attend
church and that "European
students don't even know the
Bible" as personally as many
American students do. Cherol
feels that missionaries are
needed in Europe even more
than in South America or
Africa because of the "search-
ing attitude among so many
students [there] more than
[here] in the States.

Cherol said, "I was really
shocked when I first found
out I was accepted to work
with the evangelical team in
Belgium."

Her goals are rather
modest. Said Cherol, "I just
want to love them and show
them the joy of Jesus Christ.
To spread joy is the mission of
Christians!"

unborn fetuses, or on childbear-
ing women themselves." In
other words we must protect
ourselves from the FDA and doc-
tors who use these drugs without
warning us of the consequences.

Our Bodies, Ourselves is more
than adequate in giving us vital
information about our bodies.
How can we not read it and use it
wisely? After all, our bodies are
of primary importance to us and
only we can take adequate care
of them.

Sport Shorts

The Agnes Scott Tennis Team
competed in a total of ten mat-
ches for the 1977 season. The
young and somewhat inex-
perienced group lost their first
four matches, then finished the
season with four victories out of
the remaining six matches. The
team finished in fifth place in the
Georgia Association of
Intercollegiate athletics for
Women's Small College Tennis
tournament. Students who
participated in the state
tournament were: Katherine
Harris, #1; Kim Gzechowicz, #2;

Lynn Wilson. *3; English Taylor,
84; Casidy Ward. *5; and Sharon
Maitland. =6.

Players not participating in the
state tournament were Janice
Byers, Paxson Collins. Cathy
Beck, T. Lancaster, and Lisa De
Grandi.

Agnes Scott also participated
in the 1977 GAIAW Track and
Field State Championships in
Atlanta May 16. Ellen Brinks, a
junior day student from Stone
Mountain, won the two mile
race with a record setting time of
13 minutes. 25.8 seconds.

Social Plans announced

Social Council of Agnes Scott
College would like to inform the
student body, faculty, and ad-
ministration of its planned
functions for the upcoming year.

The activities for fall quarter will
include: the Black Cat Formal,
disco party, mixers with
fraternities of Ga. Tech and
Emory. We also plan to have a
Harvest Party at a farm near
Atlanta. Winter quarter will be
highlighted by the Winter
Weekend which will involve a
disco oarty on Friday night and
the formal on Saturday night.

Something new on the agenda
for winter quarter will be a Mardi
Gras weekend. During spring
quarter we will be having a May
Day Weekend which will involve
an ice skating party, the formal
and a picnic on Sunday. There is
also one disco party planned for
spring quarter. Social Council

has also planned 10 movie parties
and 10 TGIF parties for various
times during the year.

It has been proposed by the
council to have a "package deal"
which will mean that all of the
functions can be attended (with
dates) for $40.00. this means that
students will be getting a $12.00
overall discount. We are trying to
work out a way so that the fee
can be paid at the beginning of
the year and then either tickets
will be issued to each student
who wishes to take advantage of
the "package" or we will devise
some way to have I.D. cards
stamped. A second "package"
which is still under discussion is
one which will admit students
into the 3 formal weekends and 5
movies of their choice for $26.00.

More can be found out about
the second package at a later
date.

Have a say in your education!
C.A.P. (Committee on Academic
Problems) is still working to
make students a viable part of
the Agnes Scott Community by
putting two voting student
members on the Curriculum
Committee. The Curriculum
Committee acts as a liaison
between the separate
departments and the faculty as a

whole. Curriculum changes and
additions are sent to the Com-
mittee from the individual
departments, and are voted on,
and presented to the faculty.
Obviously, this issue is an im-
portant one and it will be coming
up before the faculty for a vote in
June. Be sure to be aware of this
crucial issue and voice your
opinion to the faculty!

"Ga. Women in Politics

The fourth annual "Georgia
Women and Politics"
conference sponsored by the
Feminist Action Alliance will be
held May 21 at Georgia State
University's Urban Life Center.

The one-day conference will
teach participants how to run for
political office and manage a
successful campaign. Particular
emphasis will be placed on help-
ing women identify and utilize
the skills and leadership qualities
they have acquired in

organizations to which they
belong.

Seminars will be conducted by
over 25 state political leaders and
strategists on such topics as cam-
paign structure, organizing a
community, finances, mass
media and lobbying.

Keynote speaker Anita Nelam,
vice chair of the National
Women's Political Caucus, will
open the conference at 9 a.m.
Seminar leaders will include Ann
Crichton, mayor of Decatur;

Growth in demand for electric
power is expected to increase at
a rate of five to seven percent
each year a doubling time of
10 to 14 years. Although
government could alter the
direction of growth, a large
portion of our electricity within
the next 20 years must be
provided by fossil fuels. That will
mean a greater reliance on coal,
the fuel most abundant and also
the one containing the most
sulfur.

When fossil fuels are burned,
the sulfur is emitted into the air
as sulfur dioxide. It is then
transformed in the atmosphere
into acid-sulfate aerosols. Acid
sulfates have adverse effects on
health. Already in our heavily
populated areas, the atmosphere
is so filled with excessive sulfate

concentrations that any more
would clearly be hazardous to
public health.

To understand this hazard one
must know that when sulfur
dioxide comes out of the
smokestack it reacts with the
other elements present in the air.
With water it forms sulfuric acid
aerosols. With various metallic
ions it forms metallic sulfates.

Experimental studies have
shown that when these elements
are breathed in high humidity
they are very potent and very
irritating to the airways of the
lungs. In animals sulfate aerosols
showed down the lungs ability to
work. In humans, experiments
with healthy volunteers found
that a mixture of sulfur dioxide
and ozone (0.37 p. p.m. of each
equally mixed) produced 40 to 50
