The Profil Vol. LXIII No. 1 October 1, 1976 Business affairs Dillard assumes VP duties Doyle M. Dillard, a native of Eastman, Georgia, is the new Vice President for Business Af- fairs at Agnes Scott. Dillard assumed his duties this month following James Henderson's departure to accept the position as Business Manager of Duke University. As Vice President for Business Affairs, he will have over-all res- ponsibility, directly under the President, for the Business Of- fice, Buildings and grounds, purchasing, security, and such auxiliary services as the dining hall, the bookstore, the mailroom, telephone service, and general housekeeping and maintenance. Dillard received his B.B.A. degree from Georgia State University in 1957, and earned a Masters degree in Education, majoring in College Business Management, at the University of Kentucky in 1962. He has directed the business staffs of three other Georgia colleges, Columbus College, West Georgia College and Medical College of Georgia. He comes to Agnes Scott from Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N. C, where he is vice chancellor for business af- fairs. Dillard has been active in professional affairs, having served on ten visiting com- mittees for the Southern As- sociation of Colleges and Schools. He is married to the former Shirley Ann Brown of Mobile, Alabama, who holds a bachelors degree and a masters in chemis- try from Auburn University. The) have three children. In a letter to the members o the Agnes Scott faculty and staff President Perry said, ''we an fortunate to secure the service* of a man of Mr. Dillard's strong personal qualities and wide ex- perience in college business ad- ministration."

Dillard Presidential candidates Kline appointed to on the issues Alston professorship (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.

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 con(. on pg. 4 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. Rep reports Pge2 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! Peggy Lamberson, editor announcing. . . Students interested in learning about journalism while working on an actual publication are in- vited to call Len Levine at 873- 2119 for information about the new consumer paper "Common Cents." Students can learn about all areas of journalism, from research to organization of advertising. "Common Cents" is a shopper and consumer guide providing information on bargains and hints to help the consumer get a fair deal. The paper will not be able to pay students, but will be giving valuable education and ex- perience to possible future journalists. The Agnes Scott College Health Center will provide swine flu immunizations on October 21 and 23 from 8 a.m. until noon and from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. There is no charge for the im- munization.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

We simply can- not check inflation by keeping people out of work. I think the major thrust ought to be the strengthening of the private sec- tor, not guaranteeing everybody they will get a job from the federal government." The candidates disagree on the matters of public jobs and the controversial Humphrey- Hawkins full employment bill. Although he endorsed the bill, Carter didn't approve of it in its original form. "With a man- datory total unemployment goal of 3%. taking in all age groups, most of my economic advisers thought that would mean double-digit inflation," he says. "As a last resort, public em- ployment jobs need to be created similar to the CCC and the WPA during the depression years, particularly for young Americans who have an ex- tremely high unemployment rate in excess of 40% for black young people." Carter says that increased tax revenues generated by the reduction in unemployment and a $5 billion to $8 billion streamlining of the defense budget will repay his proposed programs. Ford has attacked the Hum- phrey-Hawkins bill as "decep- tive and dangerous" and says that our kind of government cannot create jobs for every American who wants work.

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 5900). In his veto message, he ex- plained: "The collective bargaining provisions have great merit. It is to the common situs picketing title that I address my objections. . ." Carter favors common situs picketing legislation , and believe in comprehensive collective bargaining for all employees (in- cluding governmental) but favors arbitration for public safety employees.

The National Influenza Im- munization Program of 1976 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 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.

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 (Thank Goodness It's Friday) parties that can be held on Fri- day afternoons from 3:30 to 6:30, if a sponsor is available.

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.

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.

Durkin as the only "consumer hero" of the 1976 Senate for his support of the consumer position. Fifteen senators were voted "consumer zeroes" as a result of having never voted for the consumer on key issues. A Picasso ink drawing valued at $80,000 was recovered by the FBI in San Francisco one week after it had been stolen from Toledo, Ohio. "Seated Male Figure" from Picasso's 1933 "Philospopher" series, was found in the apartment of 26 year-old David R. Krieger. The FBI released Krieger on $25,000 bail after he was charged with interstate transportation of stolen property. A mysterious and highly dangerous disease which has killed at least 80 persons near Juba in southern Sudan has prompted an investigation by the World Health Organization (WHO). The symptoms of the disease are similar to cholera, Julia's Child by Julia Midkiff 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.) As ludicrous as it may be, male visitation has come to Agnes Scott College, and it's Christmas every Sunday. typhoid and yellow fever. The border between Kenya and Sudan has been temporarily closed, and all flights between Kenya and Juba have been grounded. However, reports indicate that the spread of the disease is more in the direction of the Zaire-Sudan border. The disease first appeared in the town of Maridi,about150 miles west of Juba, almost four weeks ago. Some people died within twenty-four hours after con- tracting the disease.

Tonight's feature is a little night music starring the incomparable Ludwig van Beethoven. Fernbank calls the opus "Moonlight Sonata," an astronomical serenade commemorating Ludwig's 200th birthday and the as- tronomers who lived during his lifetime. (Catch it before Halloween). After that, it's "A Thousand Faces," a story book of the stars' unraveling as- tronomical archetypes through time. (Got that?) Runs November 2 through the 24th. A buck'll get you through the gate (if you're an adult) and if you're a student (you can't be borh?) the fare is 50c. (Just as well you're not both; it'd cost $1.50). Cheap thrills on Saturdays every month! 50 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 Oct. 24 through Dec. 10, along with work by Terry S. McGee, Instructor of Art at Agnes Scott. An opening reception will be held in the Dana Fine Arts Build- ing on October 24 from 2-5 p.m. educational institutions, in c hurches and art galleries, and other sponsoring institutions in the region.

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."

October 29. 1976 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 beobtained bywritingto: Profile Project, Common Cause, 2030 M St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. This series of articles has 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. Page 2 Profile/October 29, 1976 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."

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. News clips 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.

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!

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. Butterfly and Giani Schicchi, Mozart's Cos/ fan Tutte, Verdi's 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. Page 4 Profile/October 29, 1976 Presidential candidates 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. On Tuesday. October 26. Rep heard committee reports from the Sub-committee on Manual Convocations and the Student Life Committee. Student Lift Committee meetings are open to all students; they are held on Mondays at 5:15 p.m. in room 219 Winship. RC 176 concerning the in- clusion of two students in the presently a 1 1 - f a c u 1 1 y Curriculum Committee was On Saturday. November 13. from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.. Agnes Scott students will have the opportunity to participate in the Life Planning Worshop spon- sored by the Career Planning Of- fice. The daylong workshop (sack lunches will be provided), is designed to aid in the planning of future social, personal, and vocational goals. Knicky Knickerbocker, ad- ministrative intern, and Melissa Vandiver will lead small groups of participants through a series 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 discussed. An amendment was passed in order to clarify the petition - appointment procedure for this committee. This RC will be posted for one week, before being voted on by Rep. The Women'b Council organized by Converse College will meet at Converse on Nov. 5-6. Three representatives from ASC will attend. Rep will meet on Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. next week. of structural exercises aimed at self-assessment and goal-setting. The program, originally initiated in the West, stresses many im- portant aspects of decision mak- ing and role setting. Enrollment is limited; only ten to twelve people will be allowed to participate. The workshop may be offered throughout the year if the campus is receptive. A sign- up sheet will be posted on the Career Planning Bulletin Board outside the mailroom. quarter, this sophomore multiplies five by one and then divides this answer by live to arrive at her quality point grade scale, she hasa quality point ratio ot /em in her other three Courses. Therefore, her total quality point ratio equals .25. A quality point ratio of .25 places this student on the Ineligible List. Once a student is 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 attendance. In order to maintain clas- sification, sophomores must have a .5 quality point ratio, juniors a .75 ratio, and seniors a .91 ratio, a student may also be placed on the list if she does not have enough hours for clas- sification. Good luck, Jimmy We're pulling for you ASC Young Democrats Nov. 13 Career workshop Quality points 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 by Ellen Fort 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.

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. Peggy iamberson, editor* 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 News The Profile AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE - DECATUR, GA. 30030 THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

The Owner, Steve Adams, says it's his answer to MacDonald's. to the employees in the unit. For example, we have agreed to a Checkoff Clause under which the College agrees to deduct Union dues from employees authorizing such deductions, but the employees are free to withdraw such authorization upon giving written notice to the College. The parties have agreed on a broad No Strike / No Loc- kout Clause which will insure stability once an agreement on the enture contract has been reached. A Grievance and Arbitration Clause has been agreed to which provides a written grievance procedure culminating in final and binding arbitration by an impartial third party. A Seniority Clause has been agreed to which will aid qualified employees who have seniority in promotions, transfers, layoffs, and recalls. There have been numerous other clauses agreed to involving such items as leave of absence, safety and health, recognition, bulletin boards, job stewards, etc. The Union had proposed an across-theoard wage increase which amounted to a 43% in- crease not counting its requests for other fringe benefits in- cluding 20 cents an hour for a union pension plan and a cost of living clause. The Union's latest proposal (as of November 5) calls 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. Marvin B. Perry, Jr. announcing Course change instructions provided Students who wish to make course or section changes for winter quarter will make such changes on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 16 and h7. All changes are to be made in the office of the Dean of the 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 order to avoid book delays and shortages at the beginning of the winter quarter. For further information see the Official Bulletin Board in Butterick. The Career Planning Office will offer an Interview Roleplay- ing Workshop in rooms 1 and 3 of Butterick from 7-8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17. This workshop will offer students the chance to roleplay a job interview with two experienced interviewers - Cottie Slade from the Personnel Dept. of the the C & S Bank and Louise Loyd from the Personnel Dept. of Coca Cola. This workshop will provide valuable experience for future job interviews. Profile/November 12, 1976 Page 3 arts/entertainment what's happening Hello, and how are all of you wonderful ladies from ASC?

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.

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 Writer's Festival announced The 1977 Agnes Scott College Writers' Festival invites manus- cripts for its annual poetry and fiction contest for college students ONLY.

At the 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 crumbling butler and a patron of the arts, and the result is an amusing mixture of relationships in the ensuing plots, sub-plots, On Monday night, November 15, at 8:15, Raymond J. Martin will perform in an organ recital in Presser Hall. Mr. Martin is a member of the music faculty at Agnes Scott and college organist. Mr. Martin is also the organist for the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Atlanta. A member of the American Guild of Organists, he is chairman of the Atlanta Chapter playing competition. Originally from North Carolina, Mr. Martin received his B.S. from the Juilliard School of Music. He then went on to get his Masters and Doctorate of Sacred Music from Union Theological Seminary in New York.

The concert on Monday night will be unusual in that it will be performed in both Maclean Auditorium and Gaines Chapel in Presser Hall. On the Schlicker Organ in Maclean will be performed the early and contemporary works - "Messe pour les Convents (Extraits)" by Francois Couperin, "Toccata, 'Mitten wir im Leben sind' " by Ernest Pepping and Bach's "Fan- tasia and Fugue in G Minor." On the 1940 Austin Organ upstairs in Gaines, Mr. Martin will perform "Choral in B Minor" by Cesar Franck, "Scherzetto" by Louis Verne and "Prelude and Fugue on B-A-C- H" by Franz Liszt. This concert is informal and open to students and the public alike. It promises to be an interesting and enjoyable recital, well worth attending. Martin to give organ recital Page 4 Profile/November 12, 1976 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 Writers Festival (cont. from pg. 3) be professional wirters Eudora Welty. Josephine jacobsen and Guy Davenport. Prizes of $100 each will be awarded for the win- ning poem and the winning short story. The public is invited to the Writers' Festival, free of charge. On April 7 Josephine Jacobsen, poet and fiction writer, will speak at 2:10 p.m., and Eudora Welty, one of America's best known fiction writers, will speak at 8:15 p.m. On April 8 Guy Davenport, critic, editor, poet and story writer, will speak at 11:30 a.m. HELP WANTED "How to Make $9 to $16 per hour while on vacation or on weekend.' $3 plus 50c postage and handling.

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."

November 19, 1976 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". (cont. on pg. 4) 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." Women's Council report given In the Rep Council meeting of November 16, Linda Shearon, representing Interdorm, Lucy Hicks of Honor Court, and Betty Phillips, SGA Treasurer, reported 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.

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 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.

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.

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. 9. Pupils are not allowed to be in their bedrooms during school hours without permis- sion of the Principal. 10. No pupil is allowed to sleep out of her room. 11. A conduct roll will be called in study hall each night. 12. The following schedule is to be observed throughout the year: Rising bell - 6:50 a.m.; Breakfast - 7:20; School - 8:30; Dinner - 2:00 p.m.; Supper - 6:20; Study hour - 7:00-9:00; Lights out - 9:30; Sunday School -8:45 Sabbath morning; Meditation hour - 3-4:00 Sab- bath afternoon.

French dialogue and English subtitles; plus it is free of charge. by Ginny Lee 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 to give concert perform a recorder solo in "Patapan." Accompanists forthe Glee Club are Evelyn Babcock and Kathy Oates. The Agnes Scott Madrigals will perform several selections, in- cluding "Christmas Is," "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 Night Visitors, an opera by Gian- Carlo Menotti, will be performed by the Opera Workshop. Deniz Safakyaprak will sing the part of Amahl, and Debbie Daniel will portray his mother. The three kings are Joy Cunningham, Kaspar; Ginny Lee, Melchoir; and Hope Lamade, Balthasar. The Opera Workshop is under the direction of Janet Stewart. Kathy Oates will be the accompanist. 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 Friday, November 19, at 8:15 p.m. Tickets are $2.50. Spoleto comes to U. S. Spoleto, Italy has been an im- portant cultural center ever since it flourished under Roman control in 241 B.C. It is in this his- toric city that the American com- poser Gian-Carlo Menotti founded what is considered to be the world's comprehensive arts festival. Each year the city presents programs of symphony, chamber, and choral music; opera, ballet and contemporary dance; prose theatre, poetry, film, and the visual arts. Fortunately, people who could never quite make it to Italy may now witness such an explosion of cultural events at the Spoleto Festival U.S.A. to be premiered in Charleston, South Carolina from May 25 through June 5, 1977. Two major operas Tchaikovsky's "Queen of Spades" and Menotti's "The Consul" will be performed at the (cont. on pg. 4) Page 2 Profile/November 19, 1976 Editorial 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.

(Editor's Note: The following is a copy of a letter sent to Dr. Perry from Debi Belt, an Agnes Scott 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 of town and would answer when 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. announcing . . . 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 The Profil Vol. LXIII No. 8 -AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.- January 21, 1977 Focus on faith 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 pastor of the Myers Park Pres- byterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina and is the author of the book, Cod Loves Like That. His messages will all be centered on the theme of love. The schedule of events for the week is as follows: On Sunday night, from 7:00 to 8:30, there will be an informal discussion in the Hub on the topic, "Who Are You?" On Monday, and again on Wednesday from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. there will be a prayer break- fast in the faculty dining room. At 11:30 Monday in Chapel, Mr. Taylor's topic will be "And Have Not Love." On Monday and Wednesday, afternoon conferences may be held in Walters' living room with Rev. Taylor between 3:00 and 5:00. Small groups may sign up for an informal discussion with him. On Monday night from8:00to 9:30, the theme of Rev. Taylor's message will be "The Grace of Christ",. It will be held in Rebekah reception room. On Tuesday afternoon from 3:00 to 4:00, a Bible study will be held in the living room of Walters dormitory. The study will center on I. Corinthians 12-14. From 9 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, "The Love of God" will be dis- cussed by Rev. Taylor in the Rebekah reception room. At Wednesday's convocation, the topic will be "Looking at Love". And, finally, Wednesday even- 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, Ext. 388. 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 com. on pg. 4 Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow Page 2 Profile/January 21, 1977 Editorial 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.

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."

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. Campus behavior cont. from pg. 7 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.

January 28, 1977 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. 1 C0i. 3) John Milligan, also seen in Scapino!. will play Judge Brack.

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.

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 continued on page 4 Page 2 Profile/February 4, 1977 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. Sandra Saseen, associate editor The Profile AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR.

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 plays and a children's show. There are many opportunities for fun and creativity in working backstage, and help is urgently needed! Anyone interested in working with Blackfriars is asked to place his or her name on the sign-up sheets on the Blackfriars bulletin board in the Mail Room or to contact Lynn Summer. No experience is necessary just enthusiasm! On Tuesday, February 8at 7:30 p.m., World Travel Films will present in Gaines Chapel the travelogue "Arizona Adven- ture." Admission is $3.2 for the public and $1. 0 for students. Anyone interested in taking the Spring Art Trip with Terry McGehee to Washington, D.C. and New York City, please come to Art Club meeting Wednesday, February 9, upstairs in the Hub at 5.30. that neither our accreditation nor our Phi Beta Kappa chapter nor any of our other academic and professional affiliations has been called into question. I look forward to discussing this matter with appropriate representatives of the A.A.U.P., and I shall be glad to answer in- dividual questions from the faculty or students. Marvin B. Perry, Jr. President 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.

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 continued on page 4 Page 4 Profile/February 4, 1977 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. ... to be continued next week Movie review continued from page 3 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. 1. 6. 11. 12.

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. Page 2 Profile/February 11, 1977 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. Judy Tindel Assistant Director of Admissions News Clips 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.

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.

Page 4 Profile/February 11, 1977 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.

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 of Col. Scott's mother. In 1906, the Institute became a college 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 P. O. Box 3063, Annapolis, Md. 21403. 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. Dr. Wallace M. Alston 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 Associate in Etzioni's graduate 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.

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. Page 2 Profile/February 18, 1977 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.

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 Continued on page 4 Profile/February 18, 1977 Page 3 arts/entertainment What's happening? art A short color film made in conjunction with thespecial exhibition "Two Centuries of Black American Art," which is on display at the High Museum, will be shown February 20 at 1:30 p.m. The film, which discusses the art and artists represented in the exhibition, will be shown in the Walter Hill auditorium at the High Museum.

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.

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.

(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). Honor Emphasis speech continued Continued from page 2 this precious quality of life. Com- placency, satisfaction nor cynicism should be allowed to poison or pollute our en- vironment. People may die of hardening of the artieries, but nothing kills mentally or 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. announcing Conservation 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 Career Planning Office. 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. Become a lawyers assistant and put your education to work.

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.

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 continued on page 4 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. Page 2 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. . .

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 days. Mills was driving to an in- dustrial area when he noticed an 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 hunters. Drivers couldn't believe their eyes when they saw two big camels swinging in front of their cars on a remote country road in north Germany's Soiling Hills. After an hours-long search, patrolmen eventually found the two beasts peacefully grazing a meadow outside the village of Hillerse.

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.

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.
