AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

October 14, 1977

Convocation speech
Highly Optimistic

President Perry expressed
optimism in his opening con-
vocation speech for the
commencement of Agnes
Scott's 89th academic year.
His remarks did show concern
over the lack of growth in
enrollment this year but a
positive attitude towards the
future. He pointed out that
small enrollment reflects a
national trend away from
colleges like ASC to co-
educational schools. The
problem is that Agnes Scott's
advantages are not as well
known as they should be. A
high percentage of those who
come to see the college are
impressed by what they see
and decide to stay. Asa result,
President Perry explained that
a great effort is underway to
"beef up admission."

After extending an official
welcome to new arrivals at
Agnes Scott and noting the
important events scheduled
for the quarter, President
Perry turned his attention to
the problem of career
preparation for college
students. Several steps have
been taken to study this
problem: First, the Career
Planning office is increasing
its "activity and scope" thanks
to a three year matching grant
from IBM.

"In addition, a faculty task
force has recently sent a ques-
tionnaire to some 150 national
and local business leaders,

seeking their reaction to a
'career module' of courses
already offered here and ask-
ing them how Agnes Scott's-
liberal arts program can be
even more effective in
preparing young women who
are interested in business and
industry. The English
Department has invited out-
side consultants to an all-day
conference here in October
to explore ways of making
college English offerings even
more valuable to women
interested in careers in
business, industry, and
government."

These efforts, Dr. Perry feels,
are valuable in evaluating the
"relevance of our liberal arts
program/' He believes Agnes
Scott offers a valuable
preparation for personal
enrichment and practical
preparation for careers. The
president stressed the im-
portance of keeping both
vocational and liberal learn-
ing in the proper perspective.

President Perry urged the
assembly not to lose sight of
Agnes Scott's purpose as
stated in the college
catalogue. He asked the ques-
tion, "Where is Agnes Scott
heading?" To answer that
question he feels our guiding
principles should "shape our
purpose and dictate our
priorities" as we determine
the future of our college.

New Senior Residents Involved

Miss Ann Patterson is the new
Senior Resident in Rebekah this
year. She is from Laurens, South
Carolina and graduated from
Agnes Scott in 1974 with a major
in English. She continued her
education the following year at
Emory and received her Masters
in Librarianship in 1975.

An.n then moved to

Washington, Georgia and
worked with the Extension
Services as a supervisor of the
Bookmobile in a rural library
system there. She spent this past
summer in England with Dr.
Brown and the Agnes Scott
groupand enjoyed it immensely.

She is glad to be back at Agnes
Scott and while working as a

Barclay Begins As
Business Affairs VP

Agnes Scott has named as vice
president for business affairs Lee
A. Barclay Sr., of Montevallo,
AL, according to an an-
nouncement by President
Marvin B. Perry Jr.

Barclay was formerly treasurer
and business manager for the
University of Montevallo. His
Agnes Scott predecessor, Doyle
M. Dillard, has accepted the
position of vice president of
finance at the University of South
Alabama in Mobile.

On welcoming Mr. Barclay to
Agnes Scott, President Perry said,
"The college is most fortunate to
have for its business vice
president a person of Mr.
Barclay's wide experience and
proven competence."

Barclay, who served at the
University of Montevallo since
1951, began his career as an ac-
countant at the University of
Alabama, served as an infantry
officer in the United States Army,

and later taught at Auburn
University and the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He
eanred his B.S. degree in ac-
counting at the University of
Alabama and his M.S. degree
from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Barclay is president-elect of
the Southern Association of
College and University Business
Officers. For the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges and
Schools, he has served on a
number of visiting committees to
various colleges.

He is married and has seven
grown children. Mr. and Mrs.
Barclay have been very im-
pressed by the hospitality shown
them so far by the Agnes Scott
community. "We didn't have to
cook for a week!" said Mr.
Barclay. The Barclays are already
involved in the Methodist
church here and hope to
become more involved in the
future.

Guarneri Quartet Returns

The world-famous Guarneri
String Quartet will perform
Tuesday, Oct. 18, here at 8:15
p.m. in Presser Hall. The publicis
invited, free of charge.

This concert, sponsored by
Orientation Council is the only
one the quartet will give in
Georgia during the 1977-78
season.

The Guarneri, which Time
Magazine proclaimed the
"World's Master of Chamber
Music. ".will perform a program
of Beethoven, Schumann and
Debussy. The program is
Beethoven's "Quartet in G Ma-
jor, Op. 18, No. 2," Schumann's
"Quartet in F Major, Op. 41, No.
2" and Debussy's "Quartet in G
minor, Op. 10."

The quartet members are
Arnold Steinhardt and John
Dalley, violins; Michael Tree,

viola; and David Soyer, cello, with the New York, Philadelphia, sional quartets and awards from

Senior Resident she is taking
courses towards her teaching
certificate so that she may
become a school librarian. She is
currently taking ballet lessons
and folk dance classes and hopes
to begin recorder classes here at
Agnes Scott also.

While at Agnes Scott she was
on dorm council and through
the role reversal now, she
realizes just how important dorm
council's job is.

She is more impressed by the
things that haven't changed at
Agnes Scott than by things that
have. She has noticed the con-
tinuing concern of the faculty for
the students and the positive way
in which the students relate to
one another. She is also glad that
she can still see evidence of a
strong honor system. The only
obvious differences she can see
are the Sunday afternoon
parietals and the T.G.I.F. parties
in the Hub.

Mrs. Miriam Durham, the new
senior resident of Walters Dorm
is originally from Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida. She has two daughters,
an adopted daughter from
Taiwan and a foster daughter
who presently lives in Waycross,
Georgia.

Having has a husband who was
a college professor, Mrs.
Durham has had the opportunity
to work at different universities
around the world and in the
United States. She has lived and
been employed as a civil service
workers in Japan and as a
counselor at the University of
Munich in Germany.

At the University of Munich,
Mrs. Durham worked as a
counselor in a coed dorm. She
finds working at Agnes Scott
College a different, but en-
joyable experience, "I think
Agnes Scott College is a
wonderful school. Students,
faculty, and staff are all working
for the same thing. Members of
the Agnes Scott community
realize that personal values still
exist in this world. I love the
closeness of the girls."

Mrs. Durham is the sponsor for
Chimo. She speaks German
fluently and a little Japanese,
Russian, and Czech. She has
traveled through fifteen coun-
tries in Europe.

In her spare time, Mrs.
Durham enjoys making rugs and
doing crewel work. She also oc-
cupies her time working on her
novel. Her book will tell the story
of a faculty wife.

As Senior Resident of Walters
Dorm, Mrs. Durham believes in
an open door policy, "It's never
too late to knock on my door."

Editorial

Open your minds

At the close of the third week of classes it is difficult to know
where to begin. Freshmen are practically veterans by now having
been introduced to rush activities (an ordeal in itself), two man-
datory convocations, and Black Cat activities. On behalf of a fresh
and enlarged Profile staff I offer a belated welcome.

Most of us still have fall quarter resolutions alive in the back of our
minds. I find my own expectations of myself and the paper affected
by my experiences this past summer. I had the unique opportunity
to be in Spain at the birth of their democratic government. The
Spanish people admit that it isn't a working system of democracy
yet, but the young people are thoroughly excited to be a part of
shaping the system. They are actually aware of all that goes on
around them politically and socially and are more than willing to
venture an opinion on anything and everything. After thirty years of
suppression, Spain now enjoys a comparable feast of freedom.

Without going into an essay on current events in Spain, the point
is that we should be aware of the importance of keeping the proper
persective on what we are doing here. Saving a little energy for
things other than spending your life in the library or glueing your
nose to the books can keep you from going totally beserk. ASC
students in particular get themselves so bogged down in their
studies that the outside world consists of Buttrick and the Dining
Hall. (One special case never knew an attempt had been made on
President Ford's life until two months after the fact.)

Although we are at a Liberal Arts college to open our minds, too
often we allow this campus to have the opposite effect. This year the
revived interest in extra curricular activities is refreshing as well as
healthy. The college can meet the demands of its students if we take
the initiative to make intelligent analysis, and criticisms. The Profile
staff presents events on campus and varied editorial views. If you
don't see your particular interests covered or expressed, let us
know. The Profile is an outlet for exchanging different ideas on
campus, we welcome any opinions, thoughts, or comments.

FULL FACE

The best surprise is no surprise

When the innocent, all knowing
Freshman arrives at Agnes Scott,
many people make it a point of
letting her know that she does
not know as much as she thinks
she does. No matter how trivial
the advise may seem to be, look
interested, it is simply a chance
for the all knowing
upperclassmen to let you know
that they have retained some
shred of knowledge from the
previous year. Everyone will feel
that is is their place to inform you
of all the in's and out s of college
life. So, you, the all knowing
Freshamn find yourself confined
to many hours of mind stagnat-
ing meetings. From my own ex-
perience at these higher level
common sense classes, I can say
that the information that you
really need to survive here is not
to be found at Dorm meetings
and class convocations.

So. here are the helpful hints
that will make your stay at Agnes
Scott a bit more endurable.

1. The washers in Winship eat
panties and single tennis socks;
the washer refuses to eat the
whole pair. At least we can boast
that we do not have gluttonous
machines.

2. When the first chill comes
and you turn on your heater in
In man or Main and it sounds as if
someone is slaughtering cattle
don't worry it is just the radiator.

3. Don't come home at two in
the morning with visions of hot
baths dancing in your head.
There isn't any hot water
between two and seven fourteen
in the morning.

Short
Sights

I haven't yet checked with the
other T C's, but speaking for
myself, I've got to discover the
secret.

How is it possible to come to
class without being visibly
overloaded?

I seem to be the only student
carrying 8 books, 1 umbrella and
a sweater, shouldering a large
purse and clutched under my
arm a notebook that continues
to shed papers on the floor.

The instructor says "Open to
page 52" and 16 textbooks
materialize from nowhere.

I'm exhausted!

By the time I set down my
burden and settle in my chair at
least 3 important transactions
have commenced beyond my
comprehension.

Tell me, will I ever reach that
blissful state, where all my as-
signments will be completed, my
reading right up-to-date and my
mind floating back and forth
from last night's engagement to
what the teacher is saying,
without missing a word?

4. After you abandon the hot
bath, (it doesn't sober you up
anyway), and decide to go to
sleep, if a case of the twirly beds
sets in. one foot firmly planed on
the floor will stop the spinning. If
you are one of our shorter
Freshman whose feet do not
reach the floor while in a
horizontal position, do not
worry. The phone company has
supplied you with two big books
that can be placed on the floor
beside your bed enabling you to
achieve the same results.

5. Since everyone has probably
been to a Frat Party by now I will
let experience be your guide. Do
keep in mind that even though
Grain Punch may taste like
KoolAid, it is not KoolAid. It will
give you a good case of rot gut
and a follow up of diarrea. For
the latter condition I can only
offer two words of advise, RUN
FAST.

6. About your classes, you as a
Freshman have limited cuts,
remember that the P.E. teachers
don't allow more than two sets of
cramps a month.

7. Remember that when you
dial the one and then the area
code on your phone this does
not mean FREE. It means that at
the end of the month a
hellacious bill can be found sit-
ting in your mail box. This is not
the kind of mail that you have
been waiting for.

8. A few words about dietary
control would be very fitting. Ice
cream is a desert and not a
vitamin supplement. Eat all
cookies that you remove from

the dining hall. Do not put them
in your drawer for future con-
sumption. The food may not
look all that attractive to you, but
die to the gluttonous nature of
Scotties. the cockroaches look
like victims of a famine and they
will answer the dinner bell
anytime.

8. Contrary to some opinion,
Tech is not seventh heaven. It is
not necessary to arrive on cam-
pus promptly at five on Friday
afternoon. An adequate dose of
fun can be consumed between
eight and one thirty. And if your
first date resembled Godzilla ris-
ing from the grave, don't throw
in the towel.

Fresh
Frosh
Start

by Ruth Ann Relyea
In starting college, the hardest
thing to leave behind is old
friends. Scott freshmen have no
excuse for loneliness, however,
with the steady stream of
welcomes extended by everyone
on campus. This is definitely the
wrong place for someone who
does not want to make friends.

Among my first impressions as
a freshman at Scott was that
everyone seemed so glad to see
me, even those who were total
strangers to me. And everyone
here still seems glad to see me.
People I've never seen before
greet me in the hallways. But the
easiest way by far of making
friends is to hang out on a rowdy
hall.

The hall I live on is not rowdy.
For such small blessings I am
thankful, because I can study any
time of the day or night without
being disturbed. If I'm looking
for action, though, all I have to
do is climb two flights of stars to
where life is a continuous party.

My first encounter with the
wild women upstairs occurred
while I was tracking down a
typewriter on which to type this
story. Two girls were running
around the drinking fountain,
trying to spit water on each
other. Farther on down the hall a
pillow fight was going strong. I
had stumbled upon a goldmine
of pozential friends! After all,
college can't be all work and no
play. (Neither can it be all play
and no work, as these girls may
learn the hard way.) Peace and
quiet is great for studying, but
noise invites friendship

The PROF lit stjtt would like
to express their deepest
sympathy for the loss of
Cathryn Crane, <ind extends
their prayers and thoughts to
her family and friends.

Reynolds Price
to lecture here

Southern novelist Renolds
Price reads from his works Oct.
19. The reading will be at 8:15
p.m. in the Winter Theatre of the
Dana Fine Arts Building. The
public is invited, free of charge.

Price is the author of four
novels, "A Long and Happy
Life," "A Generous Man," "Love
and Work." and "The Surface of
Earth." In addition, he has
written two collections of short
stories and a book of essays. His
most recent work is "Early Dark,"
a dramatization of "A Long and
Happy Life."

He is professor of English at
Duke University and has served
as writer-in-residence at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and at Greensboro,
the University of Kansas and
Washington and Lee University.
Among his many prizes and
honors is the William Faulkner
Foundation Award. He is an ad-
visory editor for the literary

magazine "Shenandoah
Review."

Price's Oct. 19 visit is spon-
sored by the English department.
He first read at Agnes Scott in
April, 1976, for the college's an-
nual Writers' Festival.

"Rarely has a reading at Agnes
Scott been so well received,"
said Dr. B. W. Ball, director of the
Agnes Scott Writers' Festival and
associate professor of Engiish.

Among critics who have
praised Price's work is George
Cohen of The Chicago Tribune.
In his review of Price's novel,
"The Surface of Earth," Cohen
wrote, " 'The Surface of Earth'
confirms what 'A Long and
Happy Life' revealed that
Reynolds Price, like Faulkner
before him, is a powerful writer
and an excellent craftsman, one
of the finest storytellers we are
likely to encounter in our own
time."

Social Council News

by Lee Harber
The social calendar at Agnes
Scott includes a varied as-
sortment of events palatable to
anyone's tastes. For the student
who is interested in economiz-
ing her budget, Social Council
has arranged a package deal in
the form of a social activities
card. For $30.00 a student may
buy a card which entitles her to
the admission to formals and
other events with a savings of
$18.00.

As thetime for Black Cat nears,
excitement mounts, October 22
is the big event, and with the

band Staircase performing at the
Royal Coach, it should be an un-
forgettable evening. The Winter
Formal will be at the Sheraton
with none other than "Eli."

The first T.G.I.F. party wasa big
success, and another has been
scheduled for October 14. A
Harvest/Disco party, the com-
bination of two parties, is to be
on November 5 with Bluegrass
Experience. Make "plans now to
include these events on your
calendar, and we will see you
there.

Scott wants
your shots!

Surely you have met Scott by
now a stout, peculiar-looking
fellow, floating around campus
in a hot-air balloon. Or perhaps
you've seen him under a drape
behind a camera.

Scott is trying to capture the
realities of Agnes Scott's campus,
but he can't see everything from
a balloon. Even under his drape
he has missed some of the every-
day expressions and activities
the anguish before a test, the
smile after that special phone
call, or a jump of joy on the ten-
nis courts after acing Mr.
Cochran.

Scott has finally conceded to
us that he needs some help from
you, the students, and he's even
willing to give out cash prizes,
$170 worth, to those who help
the most.

So, ladies expose yourselves!
Expose your photographic
talents in the Agnes Scott
College Student Photography
Contest. Scott's deadline for
receiving your photos is Oct. 31.

For contest rules and in-
formation, see Scott in the
Silhouette office in Rebekah
Recreation Room or in the
Public Relations Office in But-
trick Hall. Scott works for the
Silhouette and the offices of
Public Relations, Admissions and
Alumnae Affairs, which are
sponsoring the Agnes Scott
Student Photography Contest.

"May the FORCE be with you

If you haven't had the pleasure
yet of seeing "Star Wars", I
strongly urge that you go. It is
definitely a combination of an
Errol Flynn swashbuckler, a John
Wayne western, a little Barbara
Cartland romance, and some
terrific special effects all mixed
up in the inter-galatics of the
future.

The three principal characters
are Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia
Organa, and Han Solo, all played
by three relatively unknown ac-
tors: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher,
and Harrison Ford. The one
really familiar face is that of Alec
Guiness who portrays Obi-Wan
Kenobi and that fascinating
voice of Darth Vader's was done
by james Earl Jones. Un-
fortunately, there really wasn't
much plot to the movie and the
acting was only just adequate.
However, when you reflect upon

by Andi Julian
how much money the movie has
already grossed, $100 million, it is
obvious that these actors will
receive a great deal of credit
where credit is not really due.
Actually the credit goes to
George Lucas for producing one
of the most entertaining films of
our day with simply magnificent
special effects.

I suppose most people will tell
you that the special effects of the
bar scene are the best in the
movie, but personally I feel that
the best scenes are in space. One
of the most impressive scenes is
when the Empire's ship swallows
Princess Leia's ship, and for those
who like air fights, the air war
near the end of the movie is also
quite superior in its unique
realisticness. My romantic heart
was completely satisfied by the
particularly beautiful special
effect of a double sun setting at

one point.

Along with the special effects
the entertainment of "Star Wars"
was furthered by the many funny
lines of the droids, C-3PO and
Artoo-Detoo, who are quite en-
chanting. And the sarcasm from
Prince Leia and Han Solo also
provided many comic moments.

All in all, I recommend "Star
Wars" to everyone as a truly
entertaining and thoroughly en-
joyable movie. The fact that most
of its profit has come from
people returning to see it 2 and 3
times shows you how enjoyable
"Star Wars" has been.

As for my headline, that's a
secret from the movie, for me
and other "Star Wars" fans from
all over to know, and for you to
find out.

A challenge grant of $75,000
has been awarded to Agnes Scott
by the Kresge Foundation of
Troy, Michigan. The grant will be
used to help fund modernization
of Buttrick Hall.

An estimated cost of the pro-
ject is $650,000. Agnes Scott must
have the remaining $575,000 in
gifts or pledges by June 15, 1978,
in order to claim the Kresge
grant.

According to Dr. Paul McCain,
Vice - President for
Development, this conditional
grant is the fifth Kresge grant to
be awarded Agnes Scott. In the
past, the Kresge Foundation has
helped to fund the construction

London, Canterbury, Exeter.
Devon, Oxford, Stratford upon

The purpose of the trip was to
study Elizabethan social history,
according to Ginne Risher. She
felt this trip "the best way to
learn about that period of history
because you noticed thingsabout
that period in history that you
didn't normally notice." Ginnie,
after completing this study
program in Great Britain, spent
five days in Norway visiting
Ragnild Steineger and another
friend. Her final impression was,
"I loved it!"

Cheryl Crutchfield travelled to
Belgium with Eurocorp 77, a
traveling mission group for
people college-aged and older.
Although the headquarters are
in Wheaton, IL, Cheryl found out
about the program when she
spoke with an area represen-
tative in May, 1976, at a missions'
conference. Cheryl went to
Chicago on June 9 for a two day
orientation period and then flew
to Belgium. She and her 30
member group assisted with
three missionary campaigns..
They went toa city, lived with the

people - French. She also visited
London for four days, and then
took a ten day tour of Europe
which included Paris. France,
and Heidleberg and Weyheim,
Germany.

The most outstanding thing for
Cheryl was the "love relation-
ship" with the people which was
so quickly established. Looking
back on the trip Cheryl said. "I
really enjoyed it. And after work-
ing together all summer, saying
goodbye was very hard.
Americans had a reputation for
being friendly on the surface
alone. The people we met
wanted strong friendships. As a
farewell, our team was called to
the front of the room at our last
meeting and our (Belgian)
counterparts sang our favorite
song for us. Then they asked us
to sing and we sang their favorite
song. It was very hard to say
goodbye."

Ginnie Lee also journeyed to
Europe this summer. She went
with the Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi Youth Chorale for two
weeks. The choir was head-
quartered in Rotterdam, The
Netherlands, and gave seven
concerts in Europe. Ginnie
traveled to Cologne and
Heidleberg, West Germany,
spent three days in Paris (and
sand on Bastille Day here), went
to Dover, and then to London for
another three days. She also saw
much of The Netherlands in-
cluding Amsterdam and Delft.

For Ginnie. the most outstan-
ding things happened in Lon-
don. While there, she attended a
service at St. Paul's cathedral and
heard "a real Mozart mass." She
went to the theater, which she
"really enjoyed." And "while in
London, I ran into Jane Hunt and
Cat Gowan who were on the
study aborad program."

Their past sold-out tours have
taken the quartet to cities and
colleges throughout the United
States and Canada, to the major
music festivals and to Europe,
Australia and New Zealand.
Their first tour of Japan is
scheduled for fall 1078.

Music critics have showered
the quartet with praise. On their
tenth anniversary concert in 1975
at Tuily Hall in New York City,
critic Raymond Ericson wrote in
the New York Times, "It's
clearly the Great American
Quartet of the Era, and I might
even be persuaded to drop the
national qualification."

The Guarneri String Quartet
was formed in 1965 by its current
members. It is named after a 17th
and 18th century family of Italian
makers of stringed instruments.
Steinhardt plays a violin made by
Joseph Guarneri about 1728 and
Soyer plays a cello made by An-
drea Guarneri in 1669.

Europeans "take things more
seriously than we (Americans)
do." Her closing comments

could go back. I'm already plan-

Mari Perez and Stephanie
Chisholm studied the culture
and government of Spain in
Madrid. Spain. Their trip began
on June 12 and they returned
August 14.

According to Rosie. the trip
was "lots of fun." The highlight
of her trip was going to Germany
to visit Barbara Mandel. who
lives in Munich. While in Spain.
Rosie also saw Segovia. Valencia.
Toledo. Salamanca, and
Barcelona.

Also studying outside of the
continental United States this
summer was Mollie Sherill who
studied French in Canada.
Mollie attended Laval College in
Quebec from July 15 to August
20. She heard about the program
from Mdm. Huguette Kaiser.

Mollie's purpose was to study
French and vacation. She'd
never been to Canada before.

She was impressed with the
pride the French Canadians had.
Quebec wants to be separate.
It's verv controversial. These
people feel they are different
from the rest of Canada." stated
Mollie, "And now, they're a little
resentful of tourists."

Mollie's reaction was. "You
are never American until you go
away and have to be American.
The Canadians didn't like
Americans. You had to work you
way back up (in their opinion)."

Classes View BLACK CAT Differently

Black Cat means something
different for all classes at Agnes
Scott. Here are the sentiments
from a representative of each
class.

For a freshman, Black Cat is a
time of worry. Will we get our
costumes done on time? What
will the sophomores do to me?
What if I get roadtripped the
night before my Biology final?
Black Cat can certainly get in the
way of studying, but it can also be
the most fun of any week during
the year.

Taken individually, the class of
"80 is a lot of nice people. Taken
as a whole, or the group that
menaces every hall, they can be
very imaginative pranksters. Fail-
ing to lock one's door rs an open
invitation for sophomores to
wreak havoc on the carefully
constructed mess typical of an
Agnes Scott dorm room. A
favorite trick is switching dresser
drawers, and those who are not
alert at 7:00 a.m. may find
themselves wearing roommate's
underwear.

Another prank that keeps us in
constant rear is the threat of be-
ing readtripped. It's not easy to
study for an exam while stranded

in the wilds of Atlanta. Nor is it
easy to study when your room-
mate is having a party in your
room and you can't go to the
library because the sophomores
may be lurking outside the door
and no one will act as your
bodyguard.

And, as with anything related
to school, there is the threat of
time. Thefun of the week may be
somewhat dampened by staying
up 'til 3:00 five nights in a row to
sew costumes, but the ex-
citement is strong whenever you
think of how we're fooling the
sophomores.

Ruth Ann Relyea

What does Black Cat mean to
you as a Sophomore?

frustrations on someone.

a chance to get to know all
the girls in the freshman class.

were done to us last year.

NAIL THOSE FRESHMEN!

It's a traditional, fun sort of
thing.

SCHEMING

hours and hours and hours
of lying in wait ... under the
st^ge, behind the organ, or
crouched in that stuffy box.

It's a wonder that our ears
have not doubled in size after 2
weeks of straining to catch a few
words of whispered
conversation between frosh.

I truly enjoyed being the
Sophomore Class Black Cat
Chairman this year. The class did
a fantastic job in working
together to uncover the
freshman mascot. It was fun and
I'd just like to wish every one an
exciting year.

Cindy Dantzler
'80

Each year Black Cat brings a
unique experience to each new
class. After two years the Junior's
have participated in the main
events of Black Cat, yet we have
not cedsed to become involved.

In fact:

Doors have been manned
With squirt bottles in hand
Ready for the most daring
"kop."

We know all the ropes,
So we've encouraged the hopes
That the guess of the soph's
will flop.

We've got talent galore
And we know you'll adore
The way we depict life
at Scott.

We've practiced for ages
And memorized our pages,
But remembered that Broadway
we're not.

With you in mind
We've composed a few lines
And we hope you will follow
them
through.

To arouse some more spirit
We want our sister class to
hear it

''Oh, we love you!"

Shannon Ruddell
79 and friends

As seniors we don't seem to be
in the spirit of Black Cat at all, but
rather worrying about

engagements, GRE's and
MCAT's. But really deep down in
our hearts we're torn between
our sister class and the freshman.

We've all worked so hard help-
ing the freshmen feel at home
and learning the ropes, that it
seems a shame for them not to
out-smart those sophomores.

And of course we are all thinking
about the fact that this is our last
Black Cat so we either act as if we
don't care, because "mature
ladies don't do childish things"
or we join right in trying to help
our sister class with practical
jokes to find out the mascot.

Whichever way we do feel, we all
wish the freshmen four
wonderful years to have fun
learning and living together. A
senior.

It is obvious that everyone
views Black Cat differently. The
annual event stirs emotions of
happiness, inquisitiveness. and
sisterhood. We are all glad for
the chance to meet the freshmen
in a fun way. We are all excited
about the big dance. But most of
all, Black Cat is a unique part of
Agnes Scott. It stands for a unity,
a sense of pride; all so much an
asset to the ASC community.

"The Symbol of the Cross in
Early Christian Art" will be the
topic presented in a slide show-
lecture on October 25. The
presentation will feature guesi
speakers Erich Dinkier and Erika
Dinkier von Schubert from the
University of Heidelberg,
Germany. Both Dinklers are
teachers and scholars of efly
Christian art and history.

"The Dinklers will interpret
visually the way the cross was
presented in the early Christian
centuries," explained Dr. Mary
Sheats, chairman of Agnes
Scott's Bibie and religion
department. "The cross as a

bitter, degrading instrument of
execution was transformed by
the followers of Jesus Christ into
a symbol of victory. Since then
artists and artisans have outdone
themselves in portraying this
symbol."

Erich Dinkier is professor of
New Testament theology and of
Christian archeology at the
University of Heidelberg. His
wife, Erika, is a guest lecturer in
art and church history at the
university. Both have taught at
Yale University, where Mr. Din-
kier earned a master's degree.

Editorial

Overnight Success!

For those of you in Mr. Bill Weber's Economics 204 class, you may
be familiar with the topic of this editorial, but for the rest of you
lucky souls, I shall forge ahead. One day Mr. Weber read to the class
selections from an editorial by David Henninger which may be
found in the October 11 issue of The Wall Street journal.

It dealt with the question, or rather the puzzle, of why "self-help"
books are so popular. I have been wondering about that same issue
myself. Mr. Henninger aptly likened the books to "do-it-yourself"
repair manuals which insinuate that a human being is similar to an
automobile, and maintenance is "... an enterprise that requires
periodic tune ups and, eventually, an overhaul."

The popularity of these books throws a dubious light on the men-
tal health of our nation. It was pointed out in the article that when
"I'm O.K. You're O.K." was published under a different ntle in in
England, it bombed. Why does the American reader find self-help
literature so fascinating? Self-help books maintain a secure position
at thetopof non-fiction best seller listson a regular basis in the U.S.

The titles themselves are more frightening than their popularity.
Books such as "Winning Through Intimidation", "Power!." and
"Looking Out for Number One," promote an ominous ideal of
findingyourself attheexpenseof others. Ethics have gone down the
proverbial drain and the cliche' figure of the nasty capitalist comes
out full force.

American technology has conquered the final frontier - the
human personality. Our psyches have been converted into a mass-
produced commodity easily available at the purchase of a text
which provides the goods in ten or more easy steps. Have
Americans lost the ability to develop their own values? Why does
the American public devour books which tell us how to think?

There are consumers of such literature who are well educated. It
seems higher education should in itself provide self - as assurance
self-help books blaims to provide. Americans have a tendency to be
overly self-critical. The infamous "competitive spirit" decays into a
constant vigil on what the other guy is doing. We get so caught up in
how we measure up in terms of other people's accomplishments,
that our own goals are lost in the shuffle.

Americans are also constantly apologizing for themselves. We say
"I'm sorry" to the world for everything from Black slavery to unem-
ployment to beingthe most powerful country in the western hemis-
phere.

We may have developed this feeling from the notion that as a
people, American s are culturally underdeveloped. If that is the
case, then we are definitely not correcting the situation by reaching
for Norman Vincent Peale! Another suggestion could be that
Americans inherited an "inferiority complex" from an immigrant
heritage. On the contrary, I believe our different heritages are a
source of pride.

Perhaps the Land of Opportunity overemphasized the good life.
After everyone worked so hard to "get there", thev don't know ex-
actly where they are. To go back to the original topics, self- help
books capitalize on the great American guilt complex. The im-
plication of the author is "we know you're worthless but we'll try to
make something out of you anyway." The greatest irony is that
people pay money to be told this.

Without question more can be learned about the self through
digesting Ayn Rand than being spoon-fed by Robert Ringer. Self-
help books not only insult our intelligence, but our integrity as well.

We are left with a society pausing to judge its past, present, and
(you guessed it) future.

It seems proper that the American public seeks some guidance.
Granted the authors of most self-help books have some valid points
to make; however, as Mr. Henninger so aptly put it. " ... they explain
life the way Cliff notes explain Tolstoy." I leave you to derive your
own conrlusion.

FULL FACE

"Spaciness: The ever threatening epidemic"

by Tina Robertson

The Random House Dic-
tionary of the English Language
defines an epidemic as the affec-
ting at the same time a large
number of persons in a locality,
as a disease. Every year the
United States has to deal with in-
numerable cases of strange but
true diseases. And in most cases
the causes are isolated and some
sort of remedy is found to con-
trol or terminate the disease.

Due to the advance of science
and the knowledge of our
medicine men, many of man's
handicaps have been overcome.

Even with the great medical
advancements that have been
made, there is still an annual out-
break of one of the most feared
epidemics. Year after year this
epidemic strikes a small college
campus. Yes, I am sorry to say it,
but Agnes Scott is the campus
that harbors this contagious
disease. No one is immune. I
could not locate the medical
term for the disease but we all
know it as "SPACINESS". The vic-
tims of this outbreak are usually
referred to as Space Turkies,
Space Cadets. Cloud Women,
Astroscotts, etc. . . .

I knew that the epidemic had
struck the other day after
conversing with a Freshman.
(They are usually a bit more

susceptible at the start of the
academic year.) I had been tell-
ing her that a friend of mine and I
had been born on the same dav.
the same month, and the same
year. She then looked at me and
asked. "Did you know each
other?" These sort of questions
and comments are the first signs
of a potential outbreak. The
disease seems to attack the
mind's ability to think beforethe
mouth speaks.

As the epidemic spreads
through the campus, there were
many sights to be seen. One
student walked into a tree in
front of the dining hall and
dropped her books. She bent
over and picked them up and
walked into it again. The
epidemic does not restrict itself
to the mental faculties. It follows
with terrible physical effects.
Many times it attacks the ankles.
One will be walking along min-
ding one's own business when
suddenly an ankle will give way.

This usually happens on the walk
between the dining hall and But-
trick around lunch time. If this
keeps up Miss McKemie will
have to put upsome barbed wire
around her zinnias in front of the
Hub.

Another one of the symptoms
that occurs with this disease is
also directly connected with the
oral cavity. But, as Scotties

News From Beyond

According to a study of
student life at Wellesley as
reported by Catherine A. Leslie,
Wellesley '78: "Some of the dis-
tress is related to intelligent
women being introspective and
self-critical, but it more certainly
stems from the tendency of
women to fill roles that are
already structured for them, to
do what society expects of them
and not what they independen-
tly know, is right or what they
want to do.

"Wellesley women, very much
prodded bv certain elements of
the school, have jumped into the
career oriented society of male
values without considering
where they will land.

There is too much
pressure on Wellesley and its
students to be like the 'real
world'; there are not enough
attempts to make a better world.

'The lack of faculty committed
to the intellectual life ' * is suf-
ficient proof that they, at least,
know that there is more to life
than classes and the reserve
room. The rare and wonderful
faculty member who treats the
students as an intellectual and
social peer stands out, but this
quality is too often ignored in
tenure decisions.

"Wellesley wants 'pupils," not
independent thinkers. Too many
courses are designed to merely
instruct, not to stimulate
understanding and creativity.

Students are understandably and
scandalously prevented from
realizing that they are as bright
or brighter than any member of
the community.

evolve, they develop a special
pocket in their mouths in which
at least once a week a foot is
inserted. This faux pas usually oc-
curs when the parents call on
Saturday morning at nine
o'clock. "The best way to avoid
adding to your illness is to simply
say," I think that she is in the din-
ing hall." If the home town
honey calls between midnight
and ten in the morning, anv one
of the following are acceptable.
"She is in the library," "She is out
with the girls," "I don't know
her." (This is not applicable in
the case of nearest neighbors
and roommates.) If you are not
willing to take the chance, sim-
ple bear the ringing.

Spaciness is also known to at-
tack the sphere of the brain that
controls the memory. Books are
left in the dining hall for days,
eyeglasses reside in classrooms,
washing remains in the
machines, and coffee cups grow
new stains of mold. During the
height of the epidemic, one must
be extra cautious with one's
memory. It is embarrassing to
have the hostess at your dorm
call you between one and five on
Sunday and tell you that you
have a guest in the lobby when
vou already have one in your
room. No excuses are valid in a
situation such as this. Males have
little sympathy for the Astroscott
syndrome. You can never fully
explain to them why you left
your purse on top of their car.

As the epidemic continues, it is
necessary to remain calm. It will
pass with time - 1 think. The other
day I asked someone what day of
the week she was born, - she
looked at me and said. "I don't
know, it changes every year."

Atlanta Chamber Players to Come

by Ruth Ann Relyea
The Atlanta Chamber Players,
a professional ensemble in
residence here at Agnes Scott,
will open their second season on
October 24 with a concert in
Presser Hall. The concert will
feature Janet Stewart, of the
music department, as guest
artist.

A soprano well known in
Atlanta music circles, Janet
Stewart teaches voice at Scott
and performs regularly with the
Atlanta Lyric Opera. She will be
featured in the Players'
performance of "The Shepherd
on the Rock," a famous vocal
piece by Franz Schubert.

The Atlanta Chamber Players
will also perform "Trio Sonata in
C Major," a traditional work by J.
S. Bach, "Solitaire for Piano and
Vibraphone" by American com-
poser Barbara Kolb, and "Music
for Albion Moonlight" by British
composer David Bedford.

"Solitaire for Piano and

Vibraphone" employes an elec-
tronictape collage, in addition to
the piano and vibraphone. Paula
Peace, pianist and spokeswoman
for the Atlanta Chamber Players,
describes "Music for Albion
Moonlight" as "a dramatic piece
using poems from 'The Journal
of an Albion Moonlight' by
American poet Kenneth Pat-
chen." It is written for soprano,
tlute, clarinet, violin, ceilo,
piano, and alto-melodica.

The Atlanta Chamber Players is
composed of Melanie Cramer,
flute; Robert Brown, clarinet;
Bradley Stewart, violin; Marian
Kent, viola; Dorothy Hall Lewis,
cello; Paula Peace, piano; and
Scott Douglas, percussion.

All of the members have
backgrounds in chamber and
orchestral music. Violinist
Bradley Stewart has studied
chamber music with membersof
the Juilliard and the Cleveland
String Quartets. Lewis has
performed cello recitals

throughout Austria, Germany,
and the United States, and
studied in master classes taught
by Pablo Casals. Kent is a violinist
with the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra and has studied
chamber music with the Juilliard
String Quartet.

Cramer, Peace, and Brown has
performed with chamber music
ensembles in New York City, and
Brown performs with the Atlanta
Lyric Opera Orchestra. Douglas
often performs as an extra
percussionist in the Atlanta
Percussion Quartet and of the
Emory Group for Contemporary
Music at Emory University,
where he teaches.

The Atlanta Chamber Players
will be performing October 24at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. This
concert is free of charge and
open to the public. They will
return to Agnes Scott for
performances on February 20
and May 8.

On Which Side is "Midnight"

by Andi Julian
The Other Side of Midnight by
Sidney Shelton has to be one of
the most fascinating novels I
have ever read. The story of
Noelle Page, Catherine Alex-
ander, and the man they both
loved, Larry Douglas, is an
unusual story. Noelle in Paris,
Catherine in Washington, D.C.,
were combined with Larry in the
Armed Service to create a plot of
intrigue which boggles the mind.
Set during and after World War
Two, their trilogy of love is so
spell-bindingthatonecan hardly
put down the book. The insight
Sidney Sheldon grants the reader
to see into the minds of the
characters is just fantastic; one
feels a part of the story. Sadly
enough, the novel is not perfect;
the sex in it leaves nothing to the
imagination, and although it is
not terribly explicit, The Other
Side of Midnight has just enough

sex for one to call it "bad". All in
all, I really think it's a very good
book and recommend it to
anyone forewarning them about
the abundance of sex presented
in it.

The movie, "The Other Side of
Midnight", it is an entirely
different story. It completely
lacks the depth of the novel
although it presents the story in
the same fascinating way. Only
the faces of the characters are
seen, nothing of their minds
which, after reading the novel I
must say, is a very important part
of the story. And considering the
sex aspect, the movie is worse
than the novel. Everything that
was implied in the novel is ac-
tually up there on the screen,
everything that was explicit in
the novel is even more explicit in
the film. It was so bad that people
in the theatre got up and left

the only reason I stayed was to
see if the movie's outcome was
the same as the novel's, and
believe me, the movie has a
shocking ending. The ending
that was such a shock that it left
me shaking my head when I
finished the novel, had people
coming out of the theatre saying,
"I can't believe it!" True to style,
the movie was not as good as the
novel, but it was Still a really good
movie because of its intriguing
plot and the beautiful scenery
and clothes on the screen. "The
Other Side of Midnight" is quite
an interesting movie, but the
book is better. One should read
the book before seeing the
movie so as not to be so shocked
and besides, seeing the film's
beauty, one knows why the
characters act the way they do,
and that will make it even better.

SGA Faces Crucial Time on Tight Budget

by Lee Harber
Student Government As-
sociation faces a crucial time as it
comes to terms with a tight
budget. Facing a proposed
$31,000 budget for the academic
year 1977-78, SGA lacks ap-
proximately $5,000 of the neces-
sary funds. This problem of
deficit funds is based on three
major factors: 1) a declining
student enrollment within the
past decade; 2) the inflating costs
of operating student
organizations, particularly the
costs of student publications; 3)
the comparatively low student

activitv fees in relation to other
college costs. In order to cover
this lack of funds. SGA found it
necessary to withdraw money
from the savings account.

However, alternative
measures must be taken to avoid
the depletion of thia ccount if a
similar situation should arise in
the future. On suggestion is to
raise the students activity by
$10.00 per full-time student dur-
ing the 1978-79 session. At the
present, the total student activity
fees provide enough money for
506 students, and the enrollment

SAR's Plan: ADVANCE

by Nan Fabisinski
How did you find out about we'd love
Agnes Scott? Ifyou come from
outside a one-hundred mile
radius of this campus, you've
probably been asked this ques-
tion often. And more likely than
not, your answer has been "From
an Admissions Representative."

The Admissions Council is res-
ponsible for spreading the good
news about Agnes Scott all over
the country (and even to some
foreign countries) by way of
letters, telephone calls, and
personal visits. And when I
talked to Assistant Director Judy
Tindel early this week, I found
that the Council is really fired up
about their new Student Ad-
missions Council Program.

This program involves Agnes
Scott students who represent the
college in their hometowns by
calling and writing perspective
students and by keeping in close
touch with high school
counselors. The goal of these
Student Admissions Represen-
tatives is to diversify Student Ad-
missions representation to meet
the needs of different regions.
They also work closely with
special interest groups on cam-
pus, such as the Alumnae Ad-
missions Representatives, Day
Students, an^ the Students for
Black Awareness. "We want to
make as wide an impact as pos-
sible," Ms. Tindel stated," and

to hear from other
campus groups who would like
to be represented."

The new SAR members, who
met for the first time last
Thursday, total about 30
students. At their meeting the
Regional Coordinators were in-
troduced. They are as follows:
Georgia Region - Crystal
Singleton '80. Western Region -
Ginny Lee 79, Foreign,
Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic
Region Ellen Highland '80, and
the Southern Region - Sharon
Maitland '80.

The Council's biggest Fall pro-
ject, a Prospective Student
weekend called Agnes Scott Ad-
vance, is already in the works.
This event is planned for the
weekend of November 10-12. It
should be an interesting and in-
formative example of SAR's hard
work. The weekend will include
activities around Atlanta such as
a Hawks game and the Blackfriars
production here on campus. The
Admissions office has also
planned several panel dis-
cussions which should prove in-
formative to the prospective
students. The SAR's will be as-
king the campus to participate in
various ways because the AD-
VANCE will be an impression-
making event. There are many
ways to get involved so look out
for upcoming ADVANCE.

Dinkier Lecture

continued from page 1

He earned his doctorate in
theology from the University of
Heidelberg. Mrs. Dinkier earned
her doctorate in art history and
church history from Marburg
University.

The Dinklers recently worked
with the Metropolitan Museum,
New York, to prepare a section
of an exhibit entitled "Late An-
tique and Early Christian Art."
Between 1964 and 1969 Mr. Din-

kier headed the German
archeological mission of the
"Saving Nubia Campaign" of the
Unesco in the Upper Nile Valley.
He wrote the basic text on art
and history in Nubia in Christian
times. In addition, he has written
other books on church history,
New Testament, and Christian
archeology. Mrs. Dinkier is the
author of the book, "The Shrine
of the Holy Elizabeth in

approximates 550 students. In
fact, SGA has proposed RC-179
which suggests adoption of this
fee increase. Rather than in-
creased activity fees, there is also
discussion of tentative charges
for the Silhouette. Because the
yearbok accounts for almost half
of the budget, interest has been
shown in bargaining with
publishers about a more
economical publishing price. It is
also possible that a greater
number of advertisements could
be sold; as there is larger poten-
tial of sales than were recognized
last year. SGA has also formed a
committee to study ways to cut
back on production costs. Less
books with fewer pages will be
printed. Profile also intends to
help by reducing its weekly
circulation. Dean Kirkland has
suggested the removal of Glee
Club, Dance Group, Athletic As-
sociation, and Dolphin Club
from SGA intothe Musicand P.E.
departments.

These proposals have raised
controversy within the Agnes
Scott community. The savings ac-
count was begun in the 1960 s

from an excess of student activity
fees. The money has been left
untouched in hopes that it may
be used for a long-term project
which would benefit student,
over the years. Although many
feel that this money couid be
used, it is feared that an increase
in fees would result again in an
excess and students would not
be able to enjoy benefits which
are rightfully theirs. Students pay
a fee for one year, and the
money, many feel, should be
spent in that year. In addition, if
organizations know of more
funds, they might have a
tendency to inflate their respec-
tive budgets with new projects
and a cycle of inflation might
begin.

Although there is controversy
over these various proposals, the
problem of deficit funds must be
solved. As Melanie Best, 79, SGA
Treasurer, says: "We have
several options. My decisions
will rest on whether the
suggested departmental changes
will pass. It's inevitable that SGA
will require more money to
operate student organizations.

Hockey Interest Grows

by Melanie Meadows
The Agnes Scott field hockey
team, under the direction of
Kate McKemie, opened its
season October 15, narrowly los-
ing to judson College of Marion,
Alabama, 1-0. The two teams
were evenly matched (in more
ways than one - the teams wore
practically identical uniforms),
with the only goal not coming
until thesecond half of the game.

According to manager, Deni
Lamb. 79. this year's team is
greatly improved, not only due
to the bigger turnout of players
at the daily practices, but also
due to the growing support of
faculty and administration who
came out to cheer the team on.
The game was videotaped by Kay
Manuel and the film will be
viewed by the team in
preparation for the next game
here against The Georgia

Marburg, a Study in Shrine
Iconography." Both the Dinklers
are contributors to the "En-
cyclopedia of Religion in History
and Current Times," and to the
"Lexicon for Antiquity and
Christianity."

and Georg Boehm's "Chorale
Variations" on the hymn "If
Thou But Suffer God to Guide
Thee."

On an Austin organ, which
imitates the full orchestral sound
of the romantic era, Dr. Martin
will perform Robert Schumann's
"Fugue in B-A-C-H, Op. 72, No.
4," Olivier Messiaen's early work
"Le Banquet Celeste" and Louis

Vierne's "Final" from
"Symphony V." (Louis Vierne
was the organist for many years
at Notre Dame Cathedral in
Paris, France.)

What Energy Crisis?

Despite President Carter's
declaration of the energy battles
this country must fight,
American's apparently have not
heeded his call to arms, at least if
Federal Energy Administration
(FEA) reports are any indication.
According to the FEA, for the
month ending in mid-August,

American oil consumption had
increased eight percent over the
same time last year. As expected,
a large part of the increase was
due to summer vacationing and
increased road travel. Heating oil
purchases represented an even
greater part of the rise in con-

of Music, he holds his doctorate
in sacred music from Union
Theological Seminary, New
York.

The Austin organ on which Dr.
Martin will perform was
dedicated at Agnes Scott in 1940
in a recital given by Virgil Fox,
famous organist. According to
Dr. Martin, the Austin organ is
made of approximately 3.150
pipes arranged in 45 ranks or
tonal sets that imitate other
instruments. "It is typical of
organs built in the nineteenth
century to imitate the romantic
era orchestra," he said.

The Schlicker organ was
installed at Agnes Scott in 1970.
and dedicated in a recital organ
is typical of those played by Bach
and other musicians of the clas-
sical era.

New Economics Course Offered

Corporate finance is a new
course offered alternate years
within the Economics
department. It Has added an ex-
citing dimension to a field which
is based primarily on abstract
theory; for it gives students a
practical application for their
knowledge of theory. In this
period of time when a liberal arts
degree lacksan air of practicality,

this course offers students who
are interested in business careers
experience in dealing with
business finarYce, such as the
source and uses of funds, capital
budgeting and capital costs,
stocks and bonds, and financial
budgets.

The students, as well as the
professor, Dr. Bill Weber, appear
to be enthusiastic about the
course. They feel that Corporate
Finance is very relevant to their
interests as future participants in
the business world. Although
there is a great deal of work and
materials involved in the course,

students say that the course is
well organized. Class lectures are
typed and placed on reserve in
the library. To supplement the
advanced textbook, students
employ The Wall Street journal
and Barron's in their lesson
preparations and work out
problems based on actual

reports from these periodicals.

An investment banker from
Kidder, Peabody, and Co.. Inc.
has been invited to speak to the
class, and the class has been
asked to attend a luncheon
proposed to educate the
business community of Atlanta
about international concerns
which affect the city.

Corporate finance, a course
approximately 3 years in the
making, is now a reality at Agnes
Scott. Anyone with an interest in
the area of business finance
should find the course to be of
significant interest.

Career Preparation Discussed

Dr. Rhea T. Workman, Profes-
sor of English at Columbia
College, Columbia, South
Carolina, visited the Agnes Scott
campus October 26-27. She gave
a presentation on Wednesday,
on "Career Preparation through
the Liberal Arts Curriculum" at
8:15 p.m. in the Board Room of
the McCain Library for faculty
members.

Dr. Workman created a
program about 10 years ago
called BIG English. BIG refers to
"Business, Industry, and
Government." It is a system by
which a student (English major)
performed in a Columbia office
or agency of business, industry,
or government. The plan was
roughly that of an internship, but
CC was using the program
before internships became the
big thing. The purpose was not to

find narrowly restricted offices in
which one could correct gram-
mar or explain images, but to
show that sense, sensitivity, and
communications skills (generally
understood and generally ap-
plied) were necessary in any job
and that any office was the better
for having them. The BIG English
program gave academic credit,
helped over-all college
enrollment, and helped the
enrollment of English majors.

Since its beginning. BIG
English has grown. It now works
closely with the Department of
Business and Economics. Recen-
tly Dr. Workman and Dr.
Margurite Toyne, Chairperson
of Economics, took a group of
students to Washington and New
York to study business and
government agencies with the
purpose of learning how the

female liberal arts graduate
could both enter and advance in
these fields. The South Carolina
Educational Television Network
covered this trip, and Dr.
Workman used the film as part of
her presentation of the liberal
arts going to work.

On the basis of her success at
Columbia College. Dr.
Workman was asked by the Ford
Foundation two years ago to
head a program enhancing
career possibilities in small
liberal arts colleges. Dr.
Workman's immediate plan is to
prepare a film which includes
"testimonies" by L.A. graduates
who have been successful in the
job market.

On Thursdav. Dr. Workman's
visit closed with an informal
meeting with interested students
in the Hub at 11:00 a.m. to dis-
cuss this program.

Closing Hours: too early?

Is there life after 10:30 p.m.? After two years on the Agnes Scott
campus, I'm beginning to doubt it. All campus buildings, with the
exception of the dorms, close by 10:00 or 10:30. The archaic
schedule maintained on this campus not only limits the availability
of facilities to the students, but contributes to the lack of com-
munication between Agnes Scott students.

If we want to call Agnes Scott a "women's college", then we
should demand to be treated as young adults and abolish this
Mickey Mouse schedule. Any college student should have access to
library facilities at least until 11:00 or 11:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Although it may prove difficult to secure employees to work those
hours, I doubt it would be beyond our resources to manage an extra
hour for something as essential as the college library. After having
done such a good renovation job it seems a shame that we can't take
greater advantage of the library. It seems our facilities are run with
the convenience of the employees primarily in mind ratherthan the
students.

The fact that the library closes at 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and
doesn't re-open until 1:30 p.m. on Sundays makes me wonder
what the administration had in mind when those hours were set.
The schedule on Saturday could at least be extended until 8:30 p.m.
(Some of us do go out a little later in the evening.)

Of course, when a student comes staggering out of the library
after an intense evening of study, she is struck by another deficiency
in ASC's hourly set-up - the only thing she has to look forward to is
an empty Hub with a closed snack bar, or a dorm with a solitary,
change-devouring candy machine. The problem: there is no pace
to go around here after 10:00 p.m.

The "Hub" is anything but a student center. Go there on any
week night and you will see a pool table and a ping pong table (both
in poor shape), and a T.V. room with the door shut fast and
only muffled sounds of life to be heard. (That's another editorial in
itself).

If we manage to get people to do hostess duty until 12:00 p.m.,
why can't we get anyone to work at the snack bar at least until 11 :00?
If that seems totally out of the question, then why don't we invest in
a food machine for the Hub?

There are various other gripes related to this, such as having the
snack bar open on Sunday nights (especially considering the quality
of "Sunday Supper"). More importantly, there is a question of
whether or not any one has time to enjoy a student center. But 1 feel
if there were a place worth going to, students would make time to
go there.

FULL FACE

The Grass May Look Greener But . . .

by Tina Robertson

I took off for homecoming
weekend at Ole Miss not know-
ing that I would spend the whole
three days making mental com-
parisons between them and us. I
am sure that all of us considered
application to more than one
college before we sold our souls
to Agnes Scott. But after the final
act, most of us put those "other
places" out of our minds. Oh
sure, at exam time every other
sentence ends with the positive
statement "... and I am going to

transfer to University of

next fall." But just how many of
us go through with it?

When I first arrived on the
other side of the fence, the grass
definitely looked greener. The
first and most obvious difference
was the presence of MEN; they
were all over the place. I felt like
a stranger in a strange land. I
grew accustomed to the
situation very quickly. After tak-
ing a tour of the campus, I
decided to inspect the girls'
dorms. You would never believe
what I saw! There was a girl
standing in the hall, in broad
daylight drinking a bourbon and
water.

After this, I began to feel that all
eyes were on me. Maybe I
should not have told her to be
careful or she would have to go
before Honor Court.

The parties were tremendous;
there were great bands, lots of

The PROFILE likes mail too! If
you have an opinion you wish to
express, write us.

Dear Editor.

Social Council would like to
make several comments in res-
ponse to the complaints about
fees charged for our parties. First
I'll begin with the TGIF's. We
only ask for donations. This is not
intended to make the student
body go broke (One dollar for all
the beer you can drink is nor in-
flationary) or to make a profit off
of the student body so that Social
Council can have private parties,
but only to break even (which we
have yet to accomplish). So at the
next TGIF party, why don't you
slip us a dollar, or it may be the
last TGIF.

Now on to the major problem
our formals. We heard of
many comments made,
particuarly by freshmen, com-
plaining about the injustice of
paying for Blac k Cat tickets when
the\ could have gotten in free.

people, lots of spirts, and not
one Tech Turkey was in the
crowd. Most of my information
about this "other way of life" was
gleaned from the conversations
in the girls' powder room.

Between band sets, I learned
that one could pass with a C
average without ever opening a
book.

Parties started on Tuesday night
and ended when the bells rang
for Monday morning classes. I
was most envious when I was
told that they received one
hour's credit for P.E.

I think that the girls at Ole Miss
were just as curious about life at
Scott as I was about life at a large
university. When I was asked if
we had sororities at Scott, I got
some mighty strange reactions
when I replied, "No, but we do
offer membership in the
Dolphin Club and the Scott
Literary Society." My white knee
socks procured a few inquisitive
looks.

Little did they know that I was
not going out for a fashion play -
my socks served a practical
purpose. At least I didn't suffer
from constant razor rash.

On Saturday, a strange feeling
came over me. I was home sick
for school. I hated being a
stranger in a strange land. So
what if I was the only girl who

Well, I hate to repeat a worn out
statement, but at Agnes Scott we
live by an Honor Code which
should aldo be extended to off
campus activities. This leads to
the question of non-Agnes Scott
couples getting into our formals
free. Agnes Scott students
should make it their res-
ponsibility to make sure their
friends from other schools and
cities pay for a ticket.

Due to the number of people
slipping in free, Agnes Scott is
going to tighten its security at the
next formal. Everyone is going to
have to be checked going into
the formal, which will cause a
clog up at the door after breaks.

People will either have to have
their hands stamped or save their
invitations and carry them
around the chance losing them.
This is the price everyone pays
for some peoples' dishonesty.

wore her glasses all the time. It
makes me extremely dizzy to
whip them on and take them off
every time a male pants-clad
creator approaches. So what if I
was the girl in the white knee
socks who couldn't carry on a
conversation about the finer
points of Home Economics.
(Maybe Dr. Weber will offer
such a course next year.) On
Saturday night, the drift of the
conversation in the powder
room was, "Hand me your lip
gloss; do you have any hair spray
with you?" Hunting season was
here. My mind wandered to f of
(x) functions and fears of failing
calculus. All I could think about
was all that work that was keep-
ing my desk warm, my term
paper that is due BEFORE
Thanksgiving, those two decisive
tests that are lurking just around
the corner, and oodles of Math
problems.

Yes, I wanted to come back,
the "other way of life" was look-
ing less tempting by the
moment.

Where else but a women's
college can you go the dining
hall wearing the latest in Clairol
hot rollers? Where else can you
run to class at 8:29 a.m. sporting
your ruffled Lanz nightshirt with
a clashing raincoat? Isn't it a great
feeling of confidence to know
that you can leisurely stroll from
the shower to your room
wrapped in your Holiday Inn
towel?

We all have our physical short
comings. And we all know that
due to the minute size of a Holi-
day Inn towel, only minimal
coverage is possible. There is no
way to quickly cover up a pair of
thunder thighs without exposing
something else. We need not
worry about meeting that man
of our dreams wandering down
the hail.

Some people ask me what is
wrong with us. Why are we glut-
tons for academic punishment?
Don't we ever grow weary of
term papers, tests and projects?
Don't we ever wonder why we sit
through hours of Biology labs
when we are majoring in His-
tory? Don't we ever just want to
scream, "To --- with it all!"? The
answer to all these questions is
"Yes". But when I am asked if we
are all going to crumble when we
have to face the harsh realities of
the real world, I answer "NO." I
think that if we can survive four
years of social, mental, physical,
and emotional education at
Scott, then we can take on the
world single-handedly. It will be
a breeze. Some people call this
masochism. I call it an opportune
time to test our wings, op-
portune because we are
surrounded by a great group of
individuals, be they faculty, ad-
ministration, or fellow students.

And we can feel confident to test
our wings here because there is
support to be found if the first set
doesn't fit.

On Sunday, October 30, you
are invited for an evening of
Halloween mischief at Atlanta's
favorite haunted house, as the
Frightening Fox Theatre presents
a screening of "The Monster" at
8:30 p.m.

The silent movie, which stars
the ghastly Lon Chaney in oneof
his campiest roles, is a part of the
Fox's Second Annual Halloween
Happening. Last year's audience
was scandalously creative in the
selection of their horrifying garb.
The Fox is hoping that ticket
holders for "The Monster" will
surpass last year's decadence by
dressing in the most frightful
costumes possible.

The Fox's Mighty Moller Pipe
Organ will be brought out of the
dusky depths in honor of the oc-
casion. Dennis James, the theatre
organist that enchanted last
year's "Phantom of the Opera"
audience, returns to accompany
"The Monster." If you have not
heard the "Mighty Mo" played
before, the Halloween Happen-
ing provides a perfect op-
portunity to appreciate the
instrument.

"The Monster" presents
Chaney, a star of over 140 silent
movies, in the delightful role of

the insane surgeon Dr. Ziska. In
this, one of the first mad scientist
films. Ziska experiments with
bringing the dead back to life.
The innocent subjects of his
bizarre study are hand picked
when the doctor causes car
wrecks to occur outside of his
sanitarium.

When a victim's family traces
Ziska to his hidden haunt, the
evil doctor is indeed in trouble!
"The Monster" is actually more
satiric than morbid, so kiddies
and adults alike should find it to
be a wonderful diversion.

The October 30 screening of
"The Monster" at the Fox
promises to be an event true to
the style of Dr. Ziska's misadven-
tures. The dark, Egyptian styled
movie palace, which opened in
1929,, should be a perfectly

vampish setting for the 1925
motion picture.

If a friend or loved one
reminds you of a monster then
they should feel right at home in
the theatre's eerie atmosphere!
Tickets for this benefit showing
to help "Save the Fox" are being
reserved on a n on - dis-
criminatory basis nightmarish
creatures of every sort are
welcome to attend.

So don't be a pumpkin get
your tickets for this show in ad-
vance! They are available for $3,
$4 and $5 al all S.E.A.T.S.
locations, including the Fox Box
Office. For further information
call 881-1977.

Spain Set to Music

Co-Conductor of the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra. Louis
Lane, will conduct the Orches-
tra's concert series on October
27. 28 & 29. beginning at 8:30
p.m. each evening in Symphony
Hall. The concert will feature
guest violinist Silvia Marcovici in
a program "all-Spanish" in
character with works by Albeniz,
Ra\el, Lalo. and Rimsky-
Korsakov.

Ms. Marcovici will join the
Orchestra for Edouard Lalo's
Symphonie Espagnole for Violin
and Orchestra, Op. 21, one of
the few concerto/symphonies in
the whole spectrum of concert
music.

Other works on the program
include Ravel's Rapsodie Es-
pagnole, Albeniz/Arbos' Three
Pieces from "Iberia" and the
Carpiccio Espagnole, Op. 34, by
Rimsky-Korsakov.

For ticket reservations to this
or any of the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra concerts, phone the
Box Office, 892-2414.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Silvia Marcovici, Violinist

All classical and romantic
violin concertos are already at
Silvia Marcovici's finger tips, and
she often performs contem-
porary literature as well. There
are a number of Rumanian com- .

posers, such as Constantinescou
and Parembescou. to whose
music she gives an unexcelled
interpretation.

She is often heard in Sonata
recitals, but virtuoso pieces by
Sarasate or Paganini enjoy great
popularity with her audiences.

Performing difficult music well
is not a recent accomplishment
for the young Rumanian. She
thrives under difficult and tense
situations, and it comes as no
surprise that she was awarded
second prize in the fierce
Marguerite Long-jacques
Thibaud competition of 1969.
She was then only seventeen,
and although the audience and
judlges alike wanted to bestow
on her the first prize, they were
prevented from doing so by her
very young age.

That same year. Silvia also
received the "Prix Special" of the
Prince of Monaco and subse-
quently she was awarded first
prize in the international Enesco
competition held in Bucharest.

During the 1971/72 concert
season she appeared for the first
time throughout North America,
and has since been lauded
throughout the U.S. and Europe.
ABOL'T THE ML'SIC

Ravel: Rapsodie Espagnole

So great was the success of this

piece at its premier in 1908. that
the second movement had to be
repeated! Ravel's works often
exhibit Spanish influence, and
this one. in particular, has that
flavor. It is by turns gay. then
langorous. and ends with a
whirlwind finale.

With its cadenzas for
woodwinds and brass and the in-
triguing rhythms of the percus-
sion, this four-movement Rap-
sodie is one of Ravel's major
creations.

Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole for
Violin and Orchestra. Op. 21

This is perhaps Lalo*s most
celebrated work, written for a
virtuoso violinist of the 19th cen-
tury. Pablo do Sarasate.

Writes musicologist Louis
Biancolli: The Symphonic Es-
pagnoie is unmistakable in its
national complexion. Here are
the lean, sinuous rhvthms. the
exotic colors and languoi s v\ e as-
sociate with Spain. Each of the
five movements is bathed in a
spirit of song and dance thai is
part-gvpsy. part-Moorish, and
wholly Spanish in suggestion.

concerto, but there is no mis-

Albeni/ 7 /we Pieces from
"Iberia"

"Iberia" was originally com-
posed as a series of 12 virtuoso
piano works subsequently
orchestrated by fellow
Spaniards, Enrique Fernandes
Arbos and Carlos Surinach.

Mr. Lane has chosen three of
the Arbos transcriptions which
are well-representative of the
whole: "Evocation.'' "Fete-Diue
a Seville" and "Triana."

Ot Iberia. David Ewen writes:
"Few tonal portraits of Spain
penetrate so deeply into the
heart of that country, or
reproduce its pulse and
heartbeat so authentically, as
does Iberia. Though essentially
of Andalusian inspiration, Iberia
catches the spirit and soul of
Spain down to its subtlest

nuances and most elusive colors.
Rich in imagery, varied in
backgrounds, deft in the projec-
tion of atmosphere, sensitive in
evoking sounds and smells,

Rimsky-Korsakov: Cariccio Es-
pagnol. Op. 34

"The Capriccio is undoubtedly
a purely external piece, but
vividly brilliant for all that ... The
opinion formed by both critics
and the public that the Cariccio
is a 'magnificently orchestrated
piece.' is wrong. The Capriccio is
a brilliant 'composition for the
orchestra.' The changes of tim-
bres, the felicitous choice of
melodic designs and figuration
patterns, exactly suiting each
kind of instrument, brief
virtuoso cadenzas for
instruments, solo, the rhythm of
the percussion instruments, etc.,
constitute here the very essence
of the composition and not its
garb or orchestration. "

Student Pursues Dual Degree At Tech

Carol Hedrick, a would-be
Senior at Agnes Scott from
Jacksonville, Florida, is involved
in the dual degree program
offered in conjunction with
Georgia Tech.

The program entails finishing
through the junior year at Agnes
Scott and taking two years of
courses applicable to a major at
Georgia Tech. Carol is in the

Chemical Engineering program,
however, all of the engineering
degrees are offered in the
program.

Carol had to finish all of the re-
quired courses here at Agnes
Scott and enough courses in her
major to be able to graduate at
the end of her anticipated senior
year.

G-Pirg Plans Year

by Ruth Relyea

G-PIRG has started off theyear
by plunging headlong into a
variety of activities. The group's
main concern this fall will be
energy conservation. A cam-
paign has been launched by a
number of campus boards to en-
courage students and faculty to
conserve energy in every way
possible.

Mr. Chuck Messing, from the University of Miami, will speak here
Nov. 14 and Nov. 75.

Marine Biologist To Lecture Here

Deep sea research will provide
the backdrop for two lectures
given by Mr. Chuck Messing,
marine biologist at the Rosentiel
School of Atmospheric and
Marine Science at the University
of Miami. A slide-lecture en-
titled "Expedition to the Abyss:
Deep Sea Research Aboard the
Submersible Akin" will be
presented November 15 at 7:00
p.m. in Campbell Hall. Messing
will speak November 14 at 7:30
p.m. on a more technical topic,
"Zonation and Adaptations in
the Deep Sea." Both lectures are
free and open to the public.

"The dives that scientists make
with the 'Alvin'. " explained Dr.
Tom Simpson, Agnes Scott
biology professor and marine
biologist, "are primarily ex-
ploratory ventures. These dives
are equivalent to the first trips to
the moon. Scientists never know

what new organisms they may
find."

"Within the past 10 years,"
continued Simpson, "scientists
have found living on the ocean
floor organisms that may provide
missing links in the chain of
evolution. They also find
organisms related to animals on
the surface of the earth, but
which have developed adap-
tations for living under tremen-
dous pressure and in extreme
cold and darkness."

"The specimens found on the
ocean floor at depths of 6,000
feet and more." Simpson said,
"die as they are brought to the
surface, because they cannot live
under the reduced pressure. So
Mr. Messing will show us
preserved specimens from the
deep, but no live ones."

Mr. Messing has conducted
research on several deep sea

dives, including ones into the
Puerto Rico Trench and the
Tongue of the Ocean located
near Andros Island in the
Bahamas. He is completing his
doctorate at the Rosential School
under the direction of Dr.
Gilbert Voss, an international
authority on marine life.

Plans are underway for the
formation of two pieces of
legislation PIRG will be working
on this year. The first bill involves
the right of a married woman to
keep her maiden name without
going through court, and the
other pertains to the alcoholic
beverage policy here at Scott.

On the state level, PIRG will be
involved in investigations of re-
zoning and the Kroger price
patrol.

As their first project this year,
PIRG will be raking leaves for the
faculty on Saturday, November
5. Faculty members interested in
having their yards raked are
asked to drop a note in Box 302
or call 373-9015.

PIRG invites any interested
students to attend their
meetings, held every Thursday at
6:30 p.m. in the McKinney Date
Parlor in Main. Ideas are always
welcome.

Anyone entering the dual
degree program is urged to take
Physics, Chemistry through
Organic and Physical Chemistry,
American History, Differential
Equations, and two years of
Calculus.

Carol said there is a definite
adjustment to make to attending
Georgia Tech after Agnes Scott.
She said that it involves a whole
new type of studying and that
Agnes Scott is more theory
oriented whereas Georgia Tech
is more application oriented. She
also noted that the lack of an
honor system is very obvious
there.

Instead of coures like
Chaucer, Religion, or Deviant
Behavior, Carol now is taking
Mechanical and Energy
Balances, Metallurgy, Ap-
plication of Differential
Equations and Transport
Phenomenon.

If one has the mind for it, the
dual degree program is a
wonderful opportunity for the
best of both worlds. The
Chemical Engineering program
offers studies in everything from
designing industrial plants deal-
ing with chemicals, to working
with the chemicals themselves in
the Medical, Food, Gasoline, or
Plastics Industries.

Carol is enjoying her work at
Georgia Tech, but she an-
ticipates a long haul ahead with
the possibility of more than two
years before she is finished. We
wish her a lot of luck!

Editorial

"The Modern

Little Red Hen"

Editor's note - I came across this ad in a TIME magazine in the spring
of 1976. It was published by the Penwalt Corporation of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and makes a striking comment on the
current mentality regarding businessand free enterprise in the U.S.

Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched about
the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called
her neighbors and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread
to eat. Who will help me plant it?"

"Not I," said the cow.

"Not I," said the duck.

"Not I," said the pig.

"Not I," said the goose.

"Then I will," said the little red hen. And she did. The wheat grew
tall and ripened into golden grain. "Who will help me reap my
wheat?" asked the little red hen.

"Not I," said the duck.

"Out of my classification," said the pig.

"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.

"I'd lose my umemployment compensation," said the goose.

"Then I will," said the little red hen, and she did.

At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake the
bread?" asked the little red hen.

"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.

"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.

"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.

"If I'm going to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the
goose.

' Then I will," said the little red hen.

She baked five loaves and held them up for her neighbors tosee.
They all wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little
red hen said, "No, I can eat the five loaves myself."

"Excess profits!" cried the cow.

"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck.

"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose.

And the pig just grunted. And they painted "unfair" picket signs
and marched round and round the little red hen, shouting
obscenities.

When the government agent came, he said to the little red hen.
"You must not be greedy."

"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.

"Exactly. " said the agent. "That is the wonderful free enterprise
system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But
under our modern government regulations, the productive
workers must divide their product with the idle."

\nd they lived happily ever after, including the little red hen,
who smiled and clucked. "I am grateful. I am grateful."

But her neighbors wondered why she never again baked any
more bread.

At the conclusion of the required business of the 7975 Penwalt Annual Meeting,
Chairman dnd President William P Drake, commenting on the state of the com-
pany m today's economy, reaiithis his own adaptation of a modern version of the
well-known fjble of The Little Red Hen"

by Tina Robertson
The alarm clock sounded it's
familiar bellow and my hand hit
the "off" button with its usual
pro-marksmanship. My sub-
conscious told me to go back to
sleep. Two hours later, when the
sheet would no longer prevent
that obnoxious ray of sun shining
in my window from burning my
retina, I decided to get up. I
grabbed my bucket and started
that long treck to the bathroom.
After I partially unglued mv
eyes, it occured to me that my
usual sinkpals weren't around. I
walked back to my room and
turned on the stereo, I turned it
up loud, a little louder, a little
louder, a little louder. Why
wasn't anyone complaining?
Was this the Twilight Zone come
true? I always had fantasies about
being the sole survivor on the big
globe, but things like that just
don't happen. I opened the door
and gave anybody or anything a
chance to show their face.

Had I forgotten? This was the
weekend that I had opted to stay
home and do all those cultural
and mind-stimulating things that
I should have done two weeks
ago. It also happened to be
Saturday and Homecoming at
Tech. Things started to fall into
place. I scrambled around to find
the infamous LIST. Before I could
even attack the first statement of

action, depression set in. I was
trapped for the whole day. There
was no way to avoid the situation
that I had created for myself.

When the plan was originally
conceived, it really sounded
glorious, but nowthat it wastime
to execute my grand intentions,
the glory was gone. I grew a bit
envious of my sinkpals who were
sipping bourbon and coke at the
game. I couldn't even relieve my
frustration by buying a new shirt
since my bank hasn't accepted
my new mathematical concept
of negative numbers and zeroes
in the denominator. I sat on the
bed and contemplated the
situation.

There was nothing to do but
attack the LIST. I had to skip to
Item Three since it is impossible
to eat breakfast at Scott at 11:00
a.m. Oh well, I would make up
for lost time. Item Three, read:
"Catch up on current events.
Current events? I could always
do that on Sunday; I bent the
binding on the November Cos-
mopolitan. Item Four: listen to
one hour of classical music.
Instead I dug out an old B.W.
Stevenson album and listened
while he serenaded the falling
leaves. (Yom might have to be a
tried and true Texan to ap-
preciate Mr. Buck Wheat). I
started to feel bad about scim-

"And the pig just grunted. And they painted "unfair" picket signs
and marched round and round the little red hen, shouting

obscenities."

Letters to the Editor:

Dear Editor:

As a member of the library staff
of Agnes Scott for twenty years, I
feel that I have a right to reply to
your editorial of October 28. I
work every Saturday and with
the exception of about a week or
two before exams or before term
papers, I have never seen more
than five or six students in the
main reading room between 9
and 6! Furthermore, being the
only person on duty from 9 to 1
on Saturday, I have a view of the
entrace, and there are very few
students coming and going!

Also. I work on Thursday
nights, and there are very few
students in the library after 10
p.m. My point is - why don't the
students use the library more
when it is open? Agnes Scott is
not a university nor a graduate
school, and the library should

not have to follow the same
hours as Emory or Tech! Also, I
live 13 miles from the campus,
and if you have been keeping up
with the horrible murders lately
in this state, you will understand
why I do not relish the idea of
driving home after 10:30!
Furthermore, most filling
stations are not open after 10!

So. please try using the library
during the many hours it is open!

An upset memberof the Library

Staff,
Mary Carter

P. S. I'm sure it would be nice to
have the snack bar open later,
but the people who run it
probably have the same problem
I do! Unless, you could form a
rotating staff of students to keep
the snack bar open later (work-
ing on d "volunteer" basis!)

ping on the first two items so I
checked Item Four. "THIRTY
MINUTES OF EXERCISES?" I
didn't write that! If I did it was
during a moment of temporary
insanity and I couldn't be held
responsible for my actions. I
compromised and counted my
pennies: there were exaclty fifty
rive of them. How lucky could I
be! Thank heavens cigarettes are
cheap in Georgia. I WALKED to
Watsons: I could have gone to
the Hub. but I had a LIST to satis-
fy. This way I wouldn't feel quite
so guilty. I even walked to the
front door (which is considered
further than the back entrance.)

Kicking through the leaves on
the way back, I started to feel
quite pleased with myself on this
rare day. It is all too easy to get
caught up in the social stream on
weekend and find yoUrself worn
out on Sunday. I also took into
consideration that we all work
extremely hard five days
previous to Saturday and we
deserve a rest. When I got back, I
promptly shredded my guilt-
producing LIST. Meanwhile, my
work divided and multiplied like
an amoeba.

But this was MY DAY from the
moment I threw the confettied
list and watched it filter down
into my institutional garbage
receptacle. I made a new list,
Item 1 : Take a long leisurely bub-
ble bath, 2. File my nails, 3. Attack
the eyebrows, 4. Read my Hobbit
book and not History, 5. Eat a
pizza with everything on it, 6.
Watch "Saturday Night Live".

The long, luxurious bath was
easier stated than done. My
thanks go out to the character
who decided to shave her whole
body before the game that
morning. All but a bit of the lux-
urious feeling was killed while
kneeling on the cold tile with a
can of Comet in my hand.
Nevertheless, I ran the tub full
of hot water and dove in. Never
believe what you see on
television. Unless there is a mail-
order house that specializes in
waterproof books, reading in the
tub in an impossibility. I aban-
doned the book for a razor. I
stepped out of the tub feeling
like a new person, although my
legs felt like cold bologna. (Yes, I
did clean the tub.)

The next stop was the file those
naturally unshaped masses of
protein into nice oval fingernails.
Then I attacked thar bar of hair
that had grown over my eyes.
They now are distinguishable as
two separate eyebrows.

I crawled back in bed and read
my now-wet Hobbit book, wrote
two letters to people who must
have assumed that I met an un-
timely death, and called a
neglected grandmother. After
sharing a pizza with a friend, I
finished my book and watched
"Saturday Night Live". Then it
was back to bed for a long,
uninterrupted sleep.

Sunday when the familiar faces
started to return, and I was asked
if I had a good time this
weekend, all I could do was smile
and say that I had a very satis-
factory Saturday.

"The Three Sisters" performed

In a salute to Anton Chekhov,
a 20th century Russian
playwright, Agnes Scott will
present the film of "Uncle
Vanya", and the Blackfriars will
perform "The Three Sisters". The
play will run November 11, 12,
17, and 18 at 8:15 p.m. in Dana.
"Uncle Vanya, shown for the first
time in Atlanta, will be presented
November 14, at 8:15 p.m. in
Dana.

"The Three Sisters" is directed
by Dr. Jack Brooking, chairman
of the Agnes Scott theatre
department. Dr. Brooking des-
cribed the four-act drama as "a
sensitive and hautingly beautiful
study of a Russian family in the
provinces caught in a time of
great social and political
change."

Describing the Blackfriars
production, Dr. Brooking said,
"We have attempted to create a
world which accomodates
farcical happenings and wry
comedy as well as the melan-

choly that accompanies un-
fulfilled hopes and the nostalgic
passage of time. We utilize light,
slides, and sound to allow the
characters to drift freely from
their painful present into a hap-
pier past or future."

The cast of "The Three Sisters"
is composed of Agnes Scott
students and male actors from
the Atlanta area. Playing the
eldest sister, Olga, is Jo
Weinstein, a return-to-college
student who has acted with the
Dunwoody Stage Door Players
and the Atlanta Underground
Theatre. Jennifer Knight of
Atlanta, a sophomore who acted
in high school, plays the middle
sister, Masha. Playing the
youngest sister, Irina, is Margaret
Evans, a sophomore who has
acted extensively with the
Macon Little Theatre.

Important male roles include
Andrey, the three sisters'
brother, played by John
'Warthen. Mr. Warthen is on

a leave of absense from Amherst
School, Massachusetts, where he
teaches English and Drama.

Playing Col. Vershinen, who is
in love with Masha, is Tom Did-
dle of Stone Mountain, who has
acted with Onstage Atlanta, the
Emory Players, and the
Dunwoody Stage Door Players.
Malcolm Brush, who plays the
old family doctor, has had exten-
sive experience acting with the
Academy Theatre, Pocket
Theatre, Theatre Atlanta Off-
Peachtree, and Onstage Atlanta.

The "Uncle Vanya" produc-
tion was directed by Sir Laurence
Olivier and stars Sir Olivier, Sir
Michael Redgrace, Dame Sybil
Thorndike, Joan Plowright, and
Rosemary Harris. This produc-
tion has been acclaimed by
critics as "the best Uncle Vanya
in English that we shall ever see."
The filmed play was staged at the
1693 Chichester Festival in
England, where it played to
houses with standing room only.

"Sleepers" Achieve Better Grades

Are you the kind of student
who usually studies hard before
going to bed, or the kind who
goes to bed, sets the alarm for
5:00 or 6:00 a.m. and then crams?
If you're a pre-sleep studier,

Ramona Hutton. She's called a
"fresh new face in Christian
music" and "an unbelievably
strong performer" by Christian
Review Magazine. She's "a
special vocalist with that rare
ability to command a song," says
Impact Records, which recorded
"Good Morning," her first
album, and "The Children," her
second and current release.

Those descriptions didn't
always fit. "In 1971, I had a
personal experience with
Christ," she relates. "Now I want
to always be sensitive to
everyone's problems. My music
is my ministry."

Since her conversion to Jesus
Christ, Ms. Hutton has taken her

Ms. Hutton sees her music as a
form of personal ministry
whether she's with two people
or with two thousand. "My mind
and my heart are filled with His
Word, so that whatever He wants
will be there for that time of
ministry." she observes. "The
word of God is so living and so
alive that every single need, no
matter what it is, can be met by
Him."

"God's interested in every part

"Experience the Future: The
Workplace and You." National
Careeer Week. November 6-
12, is sponsored by the National
Vocational Guidance As-
sociation.

Ms. lone Murphy, Director
of career planning, explained
the significance of a career
week for college students:
"College students need to
know that career planning is
not just finding a job, but a
process of discovering
themselves and exploring
various life styles and career
environments. "

"Work and Life Styles," a
panel discussion Sunday,
November 13, at 7:00 p.m., will
have as guests a working
married couple with children, a
working married couple
without children, a working
single woman, a housewife,
and a working divorcee with
children.

"My First Job . .", a panel
discussion Monday, November

The Committee on Academic
Problems (CAP) is experiencing
a transition. Because of its nature
as a committee of Rep Council, it
has had no real power or source
of motivation in the field of
academic problems. There is a
proposal to make CAP a college
committee. Up until the present,
faculty members have been
asked to sit on the committee in
more or less token positions.
However, with the proposed
change, faculty members either
will be voted to the committee
by their colleagues or appointed
by President Marvin B. Perry or
the Executive Committee of the
faculty. The committee will gain
respect because the faculty will
play a more important role in the
activities of CAP. In addition, it is

hoped that the name of CAP can
be changed to Committee on
Education. It will serve as a soun-
ding-board for grievances as well
as for impetus for the promoting
academic excitement and en-
couragement. There is" also the
possibility of the establishment
of student evaluations of faculty.

The Library Committee and
Student Life Committees are
working on arrangements to ex-
tend the present hours of the
McCain Library. The proposed
hours include an extension of
the regular hours on weeknights
to 12:00 a.m. and maintaining
the present weekend hours.
Another plan is the extension of
weeknight hours until 11 :00 p.m.

On Thursday, September 29,
Rep Council presented a skit on
its role in the Agnes Scott com-
munity to freshmen.

A 4-1-4 Study Committee, con-
sisting of Dean Julia Gary, Mr.
Harry Wistrand, Mrs. Mary
Boney Sheats, Mrs. Myrna
Young, and SGA President Kaki
Manning, has been formed. This
ad hoc committee of the college
has been created to study the
feasibility of implementing a 4-1-
4 calendar at Agnes Scott. It is a
modified semester system with
January as an interim term. An
Information Center will be
placed in the Rebekah Recep-
tion Room on November 14-16.

at Agnes Scott and a former dean
at Sweetbriar College, will speak

'ADVANCE' Activities Begin

by Lee Harber

The Admissions Office along
with the Student Admissions
Representatives (SARs) are in the
midst of the ADVANCE for
prospective students. This year
approximately 190 junior and
senior high school students are
registered for the weekend.

The events started Thursday,
November 11. The prospective
students were given a bus tour
featuring "Atlanta by Night."
The group used four buses and
Mr. Michael Brown, Ms. Kate
McKernie, Mr. Edward McNair
and Mr. Charles Pepe each led
one bus on the tour.

On Friday, November 11, the
girls were able to attend classes
from 8:30-11 :30 a.m. At 2:00 p.m.
the academic department heads
re-scheduled to assemble in
Dana along with the Career Plan-
ning, Financial Aid, and Ad-
missions Representatives to
answer any questions the
students may have. At 3:30 p.m.
the visitors will split into five
"cluster" groups to hold in-

formal discussions with Agnes
Scott's administration and
students. The topics are:
'Leadership Opportunities
Natural Assertiveness Training at
a Woman's College', 'Agnes
Scott Women and Career,'; 'Is
there Life After High School? -
Planning for College,'; 'Trials
and Triumphs of College Living,
Conversations with the Dean of
Students,'; and 'Will the Profes-
sor Know My Name? - Answers
from the Academic Dean.'

Friday night is also packed with
activities. The prospective
students have the choice of
attending a Hawks game, the
Atlanta Symphony, or the Agnes
Scott College Blackfriars produc-
tion. After these events, a
marshmallow roast in the lobby
of Winship will be opened to the
campus community to give the
prospective students time to
meet more Scott students and to
reflect on the day's activities.

A panel discussion with
students representing various
academic and field activities will

be held Saturday, November 12.
^fter the panel, President and
Mrs. Marvin B. Perry will join the
group for informal questions and
answers about the college. This
will end the ADVANCE
weekend.

The concept of advancement
is extended throughout all of the
weekend's events. Advances in
learning, information, self-
awareness, and self-direction are
all themes of the various ac-
tivities. The prospective students
should get a well-rounded view
of the entire Agnes Scott way of
life.

The campus community has
shown great support for the Ad-
missions office project. Slumber
parties were organized and
sleeping bags were pulled out of
trunks to make room for the
record-breaking crowd. The
SAR's and the Admissions staff
are grateful to guides and
hostesses and extend a warm
welcome to our prospective
students.

Editorial

Reverse Discrimination

Substituting one problem for another

Is discrimination an effective way to end discrimination? The case
of Allan Bakke has given this question national prominence. Bakke
is simply asking the court to defend his right to go to medical school,
but the court's decision may have a lasting effect on college ad-
missions and job selection.

In an attempt to compensate for years of discrimination against
minorities, a number of universities and business firms have
decided to discriminate against majorities. If the damage done by
past discrimination is so great, surely it cannot be corrected
overnight simply by handing positions to people who may not be
qualified. Progress can only be made through giving minorities the
same chance as majorities to become qualified.

". . . the school refused to consider a
white male for the teaching job."

In the case at hand, Allan Bakke was rejected by the University of
California at Davis medical school because he is white, while ap-
plicants who were less qualified were accepted due to their
minority status. Every year the Davis medical school accepts 100
students, 16 of which must belong to a racial minority. Therefore, a
white student is competing for one of 84 seats, while a black, or
Oriental, or Puerto_Rican student is competing for one of 16 seats. In
Bakke's case, there' were more than 84 qualified white students: in
aptitude tests Bakke scored in the 97th percentile in science and in
the 86th for verbal skills, while the average percentile rankings of
the 16 minority students were 35 in science and 46 in verbal. In other
cases, there may be more than the specified number of minority ap-
plicants who meet the qualifications, and they may be more
qualified than some of the majority applicants, but they may be re-
jected because the quota has been met. Therefore, a racial quota
can be as much a hindrance to minorities as they are a help.

"... a white student is
competing for one of 84 seats,
while a black, or Oriental, or
Puerto Rican student is competing
for one of 76 seats. "

Discrimination of this type is not limited to Allan Bakke. James
Cramer, applying for a position at Virginia Commonwealth
University, claims that the school refused to consider a white male
for the teaching job. Don Prince wasdenied the position of sergeant
in the Detroit police department when an affirmative action plan
demanded the selection of a lower-ranking black. Brian Weber was
denied admission to a Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. training
program because Kaiser has signed an agreement with the United
Steel Workers specifying that for every white given a craft job, one
black would also be selected.

The purpose of "equal opportunity" is to end discrimination. This
is a good purpose, but the abundance of enthusiasm has led not to
the end of discrimination, but to discrimination against a different
group of people. A white individual is no more to blame for dis-
crimination against blacks than a black individual is for dis-
crimination against whites. If racial equality is to be achieved, blacks
and whites must learn to view each other as individuals, and both
must be evaluated on the basis of their capabilities.

18. It promises to be a powerful
and exciting evening of theatre.

UNCLE VANYA in English that
we shall ever see," as "definitive
Chekhov," and as "the in-

comparable Chekhov cast." It
stars Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir
Michael Redgrave, Dame Sybil
Thorndike, Joan Ptevvright and
Rosemary Harris. This is the first

another in that long line of Bond

in the respect that it doesn't
make you think, you just sit back
and enjoy. Although it is not one
of the better Roger Moore Bond

plot), it is a typically good Bond
movie - the kind that everyone
goes to and likes. Barbara Bach is
the Russian spy who loves James
Bond and despite the fact that
she is not at all well-known she
really has an excellent future as
an actress ahead, with her
gorgeous figure and soft, lovely
voice.

It is a typical James Bond plot
with Bond out looking for a
nuclear submarine stolen from
the British government when he
runs into the lovely lady spy,
XXX, and the story unfolds from
there. The plot isn't anything to
write home about, but it is ade-
quate.

As to the music, it is just fan-
tastic! Carly Simon has put one of
her talented fingers into this
novel pie of movie themes and
come up with such a winning
creation that it has made the
upper 10 of the top 40. The
soundtrack in its entirety is quite
good listening musicfor anyone.

The only Oscar possibility that
I see for The Spy Who Loved Me
is the very unique special effects
at the beginning of the movie. If
for no other reason than this
one, I highly recommend that
everyone goes to see the terribly

neat gymnastics perfectly
performed by Barbara Bach
while the song "Nobody Does It
Better" is heard in the
background. What isso unique is
the fact that Ms. Bach is doing
these gymnastics on a larger than
human size automatic pitol. It is
quite extraordinary to see and
deserves some sort of
recognition.

For all of you out there who
are just like me, avid James Bond
fans, you will really enjoy The
Spy Who Love Me. As for the rest
of you who disagreed with my
characterization of Bond at the
beginning of this review, you will
be bored, because in order to
enjoy a Bond movie you must
lose yourself in the charisma of
James Bond, and if you can do
that you will enjoy any of his
many films.

put concerning ASC's present
calendar & the possibility of im-
plementing this proposal.
Hopefully, students will make a
point to attend either the in-
formation center or the con-
vocation.

An important issue is the ten-
tative change in the drinking
policy at Agnes Scott. Last spring
a student body meeting was
called to override Rep Council's
decision to defeat RC-177, an
amendment which would allow
liquor ip the dorms in specific
locations and under stipulated
conditions. Because the student
body only held a majority rather
than the necessary two-thirds of
a quorum, the move was
defeated. Although RC-177 was
defeated, there remain
problems with the present drin-
king policy. No student activities
fees can be used to buy beer or
alcohol at approved on-campus
Board functions. The alcohol is
paid for through funds made
independently of student ac-
tivities fees. Consequently, since
people who attend functions
where alcoholic beverages are
served do not make the nominal
donations, the initial cost of
providing liquor is never
covered and the Boards which
sponsor functions enter into
debt. Beer might not be
provided at parties due to lack of
sufficient funds.

This problem has led to in-
creased discussion of a
ratskeller in the Hub or the
Lower Dining Hall with the

money which is in a savings ac-
count. However, this money is
tied up in unmatured bonds,
debts of Social Council and the
Silhouette, and payment of in-
creasing budget costs. The small
amount of money which would
remain in the account would be
used to decorate a ratskeller
and purchase a license. Another
problem arises again. According
to Georgia law, no alcohol can
be sold within one hundred
yards of any campus in Georgia.
Mr. Alex Gaines, a member of
the Board of Trustees of Agnes
Scott and the campus lawyer, has
been asked to check into the
validity of this law. If the law
stands the possibility of a
ratskeller is inconceivable. The
only ways to continue to have li-
quor on campus. TGIF beer
parties of a new policy allowing
liquor in the dorms, also will
cease to be realities or pos-
sibilities. Lack of money and dif-
ficulty in passing anything similar
to RC-177 will prevent the
presence of alcohol anvwhere
on campus. Although the
solution to this problem appears
nebulous, students possess the
right to make suggestions
concerning the policy.

Rep Council, in cooperation
with the Spirit Committee.
Interdorm, G-PIRG. and Mr. Jack
Hug of the Physical Plant are
working on setting up an energy
conservation program. The
Physical Plant already has im-
plemented many new im-
provements in piping, heating,
and external lighting on campus

The Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery,
president of the Southern Chris-
tian Leadership Conference
(SCLC), will speak at Agnes Scott
College, November 18, at 11:30
a.m. in Presser Hall. The public is
invited, free of charge.

Sponsoring Dr. Lowery's talk
are Students for Black Awareness
(SBA). SBA President Janet
Blount, 78 explained that the
purpose of Students for Black
Awareness was "to promote at
Agnes Scott awareness of the
Black experience. We sponsor
programs and personalities of
interest to the campus and to
Black students."

to save money as well as to make
Agnes Scott a more efficient em-
ployer of energy. During the
1976-77 session, the physical
plant spent more than its
allocated budget on electricity,
oil, and gas. Thus, many campus
members feel that students
should become involved in the
conservation effort. The long-
range plans of the physical plant
will help, but they are not
enough. The formation of an
Energy Council structured after
that of Dartmouth and com-
posed of faculty, administration,
and students, has been dis-
cussed. Dorm representatives
also are to assist Mr. Hug in
reporting problems, such as
lighting and leaks, immediately.
Money and energy can be saved
with thisstudentcooperation. To
facilitate interest in energy
conservation, there will be
competition for a campus-wide
poster concerning energy
conservation.

Another major issue concerns
that of an inflated budget. Dueto
a drop in enrollment, inflation,
and rising publication costs, SGA
was not able to meet its initial
budget requests. Therefore, it
had to cut different boards'
budgets. Student activities fees
are not enough to cover the
$3882.11 deficit. In addition,
budget cuts have not resolved
the deficit. SGA must dip into its
savings account to cover the
deficit of almost $4000, and there
is less money to pay for a
ratskeller in the future. The

Dr. Lowery is the minister of
Central United Methodist
Church, Atlanta, the oldest and
largest predominantly Black
United Methodist Church in
Atlanta. A close friend and as-
sociate of the late Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., he is one of the
founders of the Southern Chris-
tian Leadership Conference, to
which he was elected president
in August, 1977.

Dr. Lowery is a member of the
board of directors of the
Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority (MARTA) and
president of Enterprises Now,
Inc., a minority business
investment company.

many budget cuts will hurt the
activities of the boards. Thus,
RC-179 has been formulated to
raise to amount of the student
activities fees and cover the
deficit. Already tabled, RC-179
has been put aside in hope that
departmental changes, such as
the placement of Glee Club into
the Music Department, and
Dance Group & Dolphin Club
into the PE Department and the
extensive advertisement cam-
paign of the yearbook, will delay
or hopefully prevent an increase
in student activities fees.

Revisions in the constitutions
of the boards is scheduled for
winter quarter. Rep Council is
especially concerned with its
committees. The policy of
impeachment of officers is an
important consideration in the
democratic process of school
government. There is also the
possibility of changing elections
to a double-slate: major officers
will be elected in the spring and
the remaining officers will be
elected the following fall. Rep
Council, in addition to these
changes, has plans for a service
project to be named at a later
date.

With the various proposals in
the works. SGA is attempting to
maintain pace with the changing
needs of the student body.
However, to do this, the student
body must maintain interest in
the events which occur on the
Agnes Scott campus.

Among other activities, he has
taught courses in black theology
and Black awareness at Emory
University's Candler School of
Theology and the Nursing
School. In 1971 he participated in
a preaching mission in the Soviet
Union at the invitation of the
Russian Orthodox Church.

During the 1950's and 1960's he
led the civil rights movement in
Alabama that broke segregation
barriers in transportation and
police employment.

10 MINUTES
OF YOUR TIME

COULD SAVE
A FRIEND'S LIFE.

In the lime it takes
to drive your friend home, you
could save his life.

If your friend's been
drinking too much, he shouldn't
be driving.

The automobile crash is
the number one cause of death
of people your age. And the
ironic thing is that the drunk
drivers responsible for killing
young people are most often
other young people.

Take ten minutes. Or
twenty. Or an hour. Drive your
friend home. That's all. If you
can't do that, call a cab. Or let
him sleep on your couch.

We're not asking you to
hea doctor or a cop. Just a friend.

a few of her other interests.

She belongs to a number of
organizations in the community.
One of them is The Atlanta Press
Club. Sara is eager to get
students involved with the out-
side business world during
college because she feels it is
very important to get involved
early, so she posts a lot of notices
on the bulletin board in Buttrick
about meetings that students can
attend such as those of The
Atlanta Press Club.

Sara is also a member of the
Saint Genasius Players. They
perform chancel drama, original
plays with biblical characters in

York, she visited several high
schools in upper state New York
and Long Island to talk about
Agnes Scott.

Sara is very busy on and off
campus, but full of exciting ideas
for Agnes Scott and very friendly
and willing to talk.

AA Reps Visit Campus

The Alumnae Association
Presidents and Directors from
twelve women's colleges met on
the Agnes Scott campus
November 9-11 to discuss
programs and problems of
mutual interest. All well-planned
agenda kept the ladies busy for
the three days they were here.

This schedule included lunch-
eon on the Winship terrace,
dinner at President Perry's
home, attendance to the play
"Three Sisters" with
refreshments afterwards
provided by Mrs. Gail Weber, a
dinner at the Alumnae House,
and a full program of
conferences and meetings. Dis-
cussed at these meetings were
such topics as Alumnae-Student
relations, Alumnae directories,
Alumnae Admission Represen-
tatives, and Career resources.

The convention drew
representatives from colleges
such as Cedar Crest, Randolph-
Macon, Sweet Briar, Hollins, and
Wellesley. Mrs. Virginia Brown

McKenzie, Director of Alumnae
Affairs here, commented,
"We're all women's colleges, but
we're not competitive. We share
ideas, because as Alumnae
Directors, the more ideas we
have to involve the Alumnae and
the college, the better."

According to Mrs. McKenzie,
the visitors were very impressed
by the hospitality of the Agnes
Scott staff and faculty and the
interest of the administrators.
They described the atmosphere
of the campus as one of "beauty,
cleanliness, and optimism." They
also found the student
participation in campus activity
"delightful," and remarked
especially on the Dean Ap-
preciation Day last Friday.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae As-
sociation feels that the three day
meeting was a huge success and
a great opportunity for all
members of the campus to
reflect on the benefits of our
college.

Editorial

On Racial Quotas:

Bakke Again

I hope Allan Bakke appreciates the amount of space that has been
devoted to him in recent issues of the Profile. Although it is
doubtful whether Mr. Bakke merits so much attention, I also have
some comments to make.

In the first place, Mr . Bakke has capitalized on the current wave of
discontent on the part of the white population with the admissions
policies of medical schools and other graduate schools - but Mr.
Bakke is not the typical young white graduate just out of college. He
is in his early thirties, and naturally has managed other ways of mak-
ing a living besides medicine. If he had been accepted at the school
of his choice, he would have taken the place of a younger, possibly
more deserving applicant. In such competetive field as medicine,
admissions boards need to take into consideration an applicant's
need for the position once he qualifies.

". . . racial quotas are an artificial solution
to thG problem of racial discrimination. . ."

Since it is impossible to accept everyone who is qualified into
medical schools, admissions staffs must use quotas to make it as fair
lis they possibly can. Racial quotas are indeed unfair if one believes
thai ability and performance alone should be the deciding factors in
accepting a student.

Americans, however, are going to have to face the fact that so
many years of severe discrimination against non-whites (blacks in
particular), are going to have severe reprecussions. Before achiev-
ing racial equality in grad schools and consequently, the job market,
the pendulum will have to swing temporarily the other way.

Granted, racial quotas are an artificial solution to the problem of
racial discrimination; however, no other methods of compensation
have been devised. The test of a student's competence will have to
take place during the course of graduate study. If non-whites, once
in grad school, perform adequately, then their admission is jus-
tifiable.

ft is impossible to accept everyone
who is qualified into medical schools. . ."

The argument that admissions practice should be based on ability
alone (that is open admission policies) is unrealistic. In the first
place, such practices would tend to favor white applicants and
secondly, advocate open admission which overestimate^ our
progress in combatting prejudice.

In order for the system to balalnce our racially, we have to accept
the consequences of our past actions. In other words, idealism fails
when applied to the practical aspects of racial problems. Until we
come up with a better solution, we must simply grit our teeth and
allow minorities an advantage (even if unfair) in previously white-
dominated fields.

by Tina Robertson
I hung up the phone and
surveyed the disaster area. There
were papers on the floor, papers
on the bed, papers taped to the
walls, and one of them had fallen
on the turn table like a kid on a
merry-go-round. All in all. there
must have been a hundred pages
containing thoughts, notes and
quotes. My first plan of action
was to pick them up according to
their numerical order that had
been so carefully assigned to
them.

I soon realized that there were
three pages boasting the number
one position, no pages with a
number two or three, and two
pages numbered four. I quickly
devised a new system. I would
pick them up, throw them up in
the air, then pick them upat ran-
dom. This new system would
prove to be as organized as the
first. I was in a panic.

I told myself just to sit down,
calm down, re-arrange the
papers, and start to type. I turned
on the trusty Smith-Corona and
punched the return key. The
typewriter carriage sped across
with its usual speed, made con-
tact with my Schlitz mug full of
hot coffee, and knocked the
mug off of the desk, spilling the
wonderfully hot stimulant all
over the floor. My beautiful lime
green run was now Maxwell
House brown. Consequently I
burst into tears.

The only thing to do at this
point was to analyze the
problem. Why is it that everytime
a term paper is due, I turn into a
nervous wreck? I had done
thorough research; I had plenty
of references. Why had my
whirlpool of thoughts evolved
into thousands of stagnated
facts? Why did I have enough
footnote cards to paper the walls
in Buttrick?

The answer to all of these
questions was PLAGIARISM
PARANOIA. Plagiarism was one
of my first vocabulary words to
learn upon admittance to Agnes
Scott. And in my terror I learned
to footnote everything. I could
have even footnoted my name,
my birth certificate being my
reference and my Mother being
the author. I was locked into a
system that I didn't understand
but feared like lightning.

I referred to my handbook.
Pages fifty-one through fifty five
were all but worn out from over
use and much abuse. Thumbing
back to page fifty-one where
plagiarism is defined, I found the
answer to my problems. "In her
work, each student is to develop
techniques of both independent
thought and research, and using
another's work as one's own
defeats the development of
these techniques." Suddenly it
was apparent to me that the
whole purpose of the policy on
plagiarism was not drawn up
solely to prevent us from using
another's work as our own. The
policy was equally drawn up to
protect other's work as well as to
be conducive to ORIGINALITY.

I looked at my notes again.
Where was the originality?
Where did they exhibit the fact
that I had a mind of my own that
was capable of more than

properly documenting my
references? It was plaint that I
had a grand collection of
carefully documented facts.
These facts were about as
original and exciting as a grocery
list. My fear had successfully
eliminated any effort of personal
thought.

The solution was to put ail the
notecards aside, pull out a sharp

pencil and a fresh legal pad and
ask myself just what I did think?
My thoughts poured out. They
were contrary; they were
perverse; some of them con-
tradicted each other. But they
were essentially mine. As long as
my line of argument was clear
and consice. why couldn't I
integrate it with the grocery list?

Letters To The Editor

I am weary of the implication
made by many (including Ruth
Ann Relyea in the November 11
Profile) that affirmative action
means discrimination against
"more qualified" white males.
"Quality" is not as clear as Ms.
Relyea would like to believe. Let
me pose some questions to
those, like Ms. Relyea, who
believe that affirmative action
means reverse discrimination.

1) Who is "more qualified", a
student who ranks in the top fifth
of the class and College Board
scores of 1250, or a student who
ranks in the top tenth with Board
scores of 1200?

2) Who is "more qualified", an
applicant to a college in the
Southeast with 1200 Board scores
from California, or an applicant
from Marietta with 1250 Boards?

3) Who is "more qualified" for
admission to the University of
Alabama, an All-State
quarterback with 800 Board
scores (combined!) or a non-
athlete with 1200 Boards?

My point is that "quality" is
not a one-dimensional
phenomenon that is measured
by scores on standardized, so-
called objective tests. Extra-
curricular activities, class-stand-
ing, geographical residence,
race, and many other
characteristics make up the
multi-dimensional and very sub-
jective "quality" of a student. It
has been long known that the
performance of a student in
college is rather weakly
correlated with College Board
scores, and that performance is
at least equally dependent upon
more subjective and qualitative
traits.

Let me pose another problem,
applicable to the Bakke case in
particular. One of the missions of
a public medical school like the
University of California at
Davis is to produce doctors for
the entire community. Few white
doctors practice in the large
Black and Mexican-American
segments of the community.
Thus, the number of doctors per
capita is far lower in these
minority communities than in
the whie majority community. Is
it not reasonable for the state
university system to conclude
that an important "quality" for
admission to state medical
schools is that a candidate be
Black or Mexican-American,
thus more likely to be willing and
able to service in the community
that most needs doctors?

If we ever allow standardized
test scores to be the sole
determinant of "quality" we will
have produced a standardized
society, the only members of

which who will advance will be
those who look and think exactly
like those white, middle class,
supporters of the status quo that
author the tests. Even if the
perfect, unbiased test could be
devised, I submit that there are
other human qualifications of
equal or great importance to the
ability to perform well in the
time-limited testing en-
vironment.

We must stop the charade that
Allan Bakke, with his superior
achivement on the Med Boards,
is obviously "more qualified"
than the minority admittants.

S.H.

Tofrt^tditor;

With the Advance behind us,
the Admissions Staff wants to
thank members of the College
community for their help and
support before and during the
weekend. The kindness and
patience of students, faculty, and
staff during the influx of 166
prospective students was
remarkable.

As coordinator of the Ad-
vance, I worked closely with
SAR's involved in every aspect of
the planning and production of
the weekend. They were
dependable, organized, and ef-
ficient. They encountered
cooperation and enthusiasm
from every side as they worked
on plans for the Advance.

The success of the weekend is
due in large part to the en-
thusiastic and effective
cooperation of students, faculty,
and staff. Prospective students
sensed the community in-
volvement in the weekend and
many remarked on the spirit of
Agnes Scott.

Monday morning after the Ad-
vance, two parents of daughters
who attended the event called to
compliment Agnes Scott on the
weekend. They said their
daughters had discovered exac-
tly what they wanted in a college
and plan to apply. This is one of
the best indications of our
success. To date, 28 of those who
attended the Advance have ap-
plied. Hopefully in the days and
weeks ahead, we will see further
evidence of success through ap-
plications from those who
attended.

Once more, the Admissions
Staff extends its warmest thanks
to every person at Agnes Scott
who contributed directly or in-
directly to the success of the Ad-
vance.

Studio Dance Activities

Agnes Scott's Studio Dance
Theater, under the direction of
Mrs. Maiylin Darling, P. E.
department, is in the midst of an
unusually busy fall quarter. The
group, which studies and
performs the modern dance
technique of Martha Graham,
September 23 with a master class
by a member of the Alvin Ailey
dance company. The class was
one of several held throughout
the city in conjunction with the
Ailey Atlanta residency and was
open to the public.

On October 30, Laura
McDonald and Sarah Windham,
both SDT members, were guest
dancers at the graduate duo-
piano recital of Georgia State
students Shirley Moore and
Roberta West. They performed
"The Cry" to the music of
contemporary composer
Wallingford Riegger. The dance,

which was commissioned by the
pianists specifically for this
recital, was choreographed by
Marylin Darling. Mrs. Darling
described the dance as inspired
by the passage from Isaiah 40:

A voice says, "Cry" / And I
said "What Shall I cry?" / All
flesh is grass, / and all its
beauty is like the flower of the
field. / The grass withers, the
flower fades, /when the
breath of the Lord / blows
upon it; / surely the people is
grass. / The grass withers, the
flower fades; / but the word
of our God will / stand for
ever.

On November 3, SDT was host
to Mr. George Beiswanger who
spoke on the aesthetics of dance.
Mr. Beiswanger has taught at
Bennington Academy and

Connecticut College and is
professor emeritus of
philosophy at Georgia State. In
addition, he is kno\Vn locally as
the former dance critic for the
Atlanta Journal. Mr. -Beiswanger
spoke of dance as a unified
process in which the con-
tributions of the choreographer,
dancer, audience, and criticcan-
not be isolated. Copies of the
article on which the lecture was
largely based are available in
Mrs. Darling's office.

The Studio Dance Theater will
be performing its Kid's Show on
November 30, at Mary Lin
Elementary School and again on
December 3, for the Georgia As-
sociation of Adoptive Parents'
Christmas Party. The campus
performance of the Kids' Show
will be during a winter quarter
chapel.

Valentino! All That Glitters is not Gold

by Ralee Cates

Valentino is all I expected to
be. It is all show with no
substance. Directed by Ken
Russell, a man known for his
cinematic excesses, it is nothing
more than a weak story
stampeded by opulence. Ideally
the director's hand is not to be
evident in any work. Mr. Russell
might as well as signed each
frame. The sets are very lavish, as
are the costumes, in keeping
with the general decadence of
the time. The art director did a
marvelous job. Mr. Russell is not
the soul of light-handed
symbolism either. As a matter of
fact there are some spots where
thfa audience feels like it has
been mowed down by the
Russell bulldozer. One such ex-
ample comes at the very end
when, as Valentino is dying, he
reaches for an orange and it rolls
out of his grasp. This lets us see
how the poor man has been
reaching for his beloved orange
grove all his life and how it has
always eluded him. Valentino
dies with an outstretched hand.
Not very subtle, but neither isthe
sheik scene where Valentino first
makes love to Natacha Ranbeva.

Russell also throws in a few
choreographed crowd scenes
reminiscent of Saxo-Moingon or

Max Reinhardt. One in
particular is the scene outside
Valentino's home where his fan
club is assembled chanting
priases to him in almost religious
tones; while inside he and
Natacha are consulting some
mystic powers about the future.
Once again, not terribly subtle.
Russel must have used almost
every extra available in this film.

Mr. Russell has assembled a
very impressive cast, un-
fortunately, they become noth-
ing more than a vehicle for his
showing how talented he is at
glitter and gaudiness. Carol Kane
plays a non-descript little actress
Valentino sweeps away from the
Caberat he's dancing at. Felicity
Kendall plays June Mathis, the
woman who was so instrumental
in making Valentino what he
was, with as much intensity as
Russell will allow. He glosses
over her importance and only
allows us to guess at what she
meant to Valentino. Leslie Caron
gets carried away by the Russell
creed of excess. She tries a Rus-
sian accent with little success.
Her entire performance is one of
overt camp. Her gestures are en-
tirely too broad, it is almost like
she was trying to keep from
drowning in the Russellsque gilt.
Another actress with camp is

Michele Phillips. She plays
Natacha with all the mysticism of
the woman who was the force
behind Valentino at the last years
of his career. She alone, ap-
proaches escape from Russell's
excess though not quite.

I have left Rudolph Nureyev
for the last. Mr. Nureyev is one
of the finest dancers of this or
any age, however, as an actor, he
is not ready for this part. This is a
role for a much accomplished
actor. Nureyev is, at best, a
beginner. No beginner should
be expected to carry off the role
in a major motion picture. He
tries valiantly and receives no as-
sistance from Mr. Russell or his
supporting players. Russell is too
involved with the picture of
Valentino to be concerned with
the character of Valentino.
Nureyev could, in time, become
an accomplished leading man
but this was not the time nor the
film.

Russell also took liberties with
Valentino's life story. He showed
him as a successful student of
agriculture, where as he was
really a failure at the Venice
Military Academy and only took
up agriculture as a last thought.
He also shows the dying Valen-

Rep Council Members Attend Conference

This past weekend, Friday,
November 4, and Saturday,
November 5, the Southeastern
Women's College Council of
Student Government was held at
Salem College in Winston Salem,
North Carolina. Four members
of Rep Council, Tish Dupoint, a
junior from Potomac, Maryland,
Andrea Groover, a junior from
Alexandria, Virginia, Nancy
Perry, a junior from Charleston,
South Carolina, and English
Taylor, a sophomore from
Wilmington, North Carolina,
represented Agnes Scott at the
conference.

The other women's colleges
that attended the conference
were Converse College,
Meredith College, Peace Junior

College, Queens College, Salem
College, Virginia Intermont
College, and Wesleyan College.

The conference began with a
general meeting of all of the
representatives divided into
th ree groups, Student
Government, Honor Council,
and House Boards. This was
followed by some refreshment
and a small taste of Wake Forest
social life.

Saturday morning the groups
had hourly discussions which led
into the afternoon, on social and
academic life. Some of the
specifics discussed were, Student
Involvement, Faculty and
Student Relations, Social and
Academic Policies, School
Traditions, Faculty Advising

Systems. Community In-
volvement and Orientation to
name a few. Eighteen were dis-
cussed in all.

Our representatives came
back with ideas for training and
identifying student leaders,
more organized faculty-student
communication, stricter
delineation of board and officer
duties, election procedure struc-
tures, and student activism.

All involved felt it was a very
productive weekend and it was
decided to continue the
conference next year. Each
school gained ideas in aspects in
which each respective school
was lacking.

Our representatives found
that Agnes Scott has strong basic

principles that lead to benefits
we take for granted but, that we
do need to reevaluate some of
our practices.

All in all, Tish, Andrea, Nancv,

and English are very excited
about the things they learned at
the conference and are most
willing to talk about the insights
they gained.

Former Chief of Staff Visits Omni

Former Chief of Staff of
Israel Yitzchak Rabin spoke to a
luncheon crowd of ap-
proximately 80 people at the
Omni on Tuesday, November 8.
He presented his view of the
future of the presently
deadlocked political situation in
the Middle East. This concerned
relationships between Israel, the
22 existing Arab countries, and
the question of land for the
Palestinian Liberation
Organization (PLO).

Mr. Rabin explained his view
was that of an Israeli and not an
objective political scientist. He
spoke knowledgably on the sub-

ject, having seen Israel's
development through the eyes
of an Israeli child, a pioneer, a
soldier, Chief of Staff (during the
Six Day War), and Israeli Am-
bassador to the United States.

Mr. Rabin said that it was vital
that a definition of peace ap-
plicable to all situations in-
volving Israel be found before
discussions begin. He ques-
tioned the timing of the PLO re-
quest for a Palestinian homeland
as the lands now sought after
(the Golan Heights and the West
Bank of the River Jordan) were
under Arab control (respectively
Syria and Jordan) unt/7 1967.

Wary of Russian intervention
in Arab affairs which may in-
fluence Arab relations with
Israel, he is against further
foreign involvment in dis-
cussions on politics. He spoke
out strongly for conflicts being
solved by the parties involved.
This fact stressed one of his major
points: that Israel is a recognized
independent nation. He said the
fact that the PLO has refused to
acknowledge the existence of
Israel as a state has made peace
and land negotiations between
Israel and the PLO at the
moment impossible.

Mr. Rabin's talk had an op-

Energy Saving Begins

The Spirit Committee, working to save valuable energy here at
Agnes Scott, is sponsoring a save energy slogan contest. The slogan
will be used around the campus to encourage everyone to be
energy-conscious.

The winner of the contest will win a pizza.

The committee is planning to implement other activities to
remind students, faculty and administration to conserve. One such
idea is having "watt watchers" watching "watt wasters".

If anyone has any other fun ideas on saving energy, contact Mary

Dr. Perry Speaks
On Future Plans

President of the college Dr.
Marvin Banks Perry, Jr. ad-
dressed a crowd he termed
"small but select" at an informal
discussion Wednesday,
November 30, at 11 :30 a.m. in the
Rebekah Reception Room. The
new railings, summer ren-
ovation plans, and long term
plans for the college were
covered.

Dr. Perry asked the 25 students
and 12 faculty and administration
members first to bring up any
"pressing matters of the
moment." There being none, he
began to brief the audience
about the step railings. These are
being added to the facilities in an
attempt to "make the campus
more accessible for handi-
capped students and faculty."
The first company went bank-
rupt which accounts for the
recent switch of railings. The
orange coloring is the prime rust
coat and will be covered soon
with a bronze which should
match the window trimming.

The next item discussed was a
program for this summer to
further renovate Buttrick, "a
great, solid building about 40
years old." Members of the
faculty have been meeting with
the deans and students to
develop plans. This renovation
would not be as extensive as the
library's, but is scheduled to in-
clude better lighting, furnishings
possible floor coverings and air
conditioning. (Further dis-
cussion after the meeting was
spent going over the last item
and its relationship to dwindling
energy supplies of the future.)
According to Dr. Perry, about
half of the estimated $650,000
necessary to complete the
planned repairs has been raised.

An inquiry made by Elizabeth
Wells 79 about the condition of
the basement of Buttrick
revealed that it is planned to be
used strictly for teaching and ad-
ministration. Long range plans
schedule a rec center or student
center in the gymnasium as well
as having the mail room and
student government offices

there and the building of a new
gym on presently unused
property. This becomes a $6 or $7
million project, but there are
hopes to "finish it up in 2-3
years."

The long range plans are being
worked on by a committee of
students, faculty, and ad-
ministration, according to the
president. No names were dis-
closed. He feels "a much more
formal fund raising program is
needed." Presently, Agnes Scott
averages about $1 million a year
in fund raising. He also said,
"Agnes Scott wants to double its
worth by the end of the cen-
tury." This is a $40-$50 million
job. He then called for any
comments or suggestions.

Student Government As-
sociation President Kaki Man-
ning '78 asked when and where a
document detailing all of the
plans is to be published. Dr.
Perry replied that he also was
"anxious to get a document in
hand" and looked forward to
seeing this completed by theend
of this school year and printed in
either The Alumnae Quarterly or
alone.

Dr. Michael Brown, History
professor, asked if the Buttrick
renovations would be to im-
prove the appearance or the
function of the building, adding
he'd like to see more seminar
room, an improved audio-visual
room, and a student/faculty
lounge. Dean of the Faculty Julia
Gary commented that she felt
the proposed student center to
be finished sometime between
now and the year 2000, would be
a better location for such a
lounge than Buttrick.

Dr. Perry concluded the dis-
cussion by pointing out that over
the summer work is to be done
on the Dana Fine Arts building,
finishing up three buildings on
campus. He added that most of
the money collected by fund
raising went to student aid.
Looking over the crowd, he
asked for any suggestions. There
being none voiced, he added, "If
not. just send us a check."

good for the freshman and
sophomores, but it would
benefit the juniors and seniors.

-a freshman

I'd have to see the curriculum
before I made a decision.

-Lisa Beswick, '80

I think we should definitely
have it, because it gives people a
chance to study intensely
something they're interested in,
but I think it would be difficult to
switch to.

-Marietta Townsend, '81

I prefer the quarter system
because I will have the op-
portunity to take more courses.

-Jenny Nystrom, '81

It screws biology majors.

-a sophomore

It might be an exciting pos-
sibility, but I don't feel that I
know enough about it to make a
decision.

-Carol Willey, '80
I think that before making an

intelligent decision we need to
find out exactly what would
happen to the curriculum.

-Cindy Hampton, '80

I don't like it. It's just a big
waste. I know a lot of people on
the 4-1-4 and I don't think it
works.

-Cathy Beck, '80

I think that the 4-1-4 system is
worthwhile in that it allows for
intensive study in an area of
interest in a more restful and
independent environment.

-Grace Haley, '80

I really don't know that much
about it, but it sounds good so
far.

-Lynda McDonald, '81

I'd prefer the three-quarter
system because I'm used to it,
but if Agnes Scott changes, I
guess we will have to have it.

-Rori Lane, '80

I don't think it would work
here because Agnes Scott was
founded as a liberal arts college,

and with the 4-1-4 we couldn't
maintain the liberal arts
curriculum, because you'd have
to concentrate on your major
rather than taking a variety of
courses. I think the 4-1-4 special
study is better than the one
month of intensive study
because by the time you're a
senior you have a broader
background from which to draw
your ideas as to what you'd like
to study.

-Ellen Highland, '80

I don't particularly like it
because I prefer the shorter
quarters, the topics usually
suggested for the intensive study
don't interest me, and because I
like it the way we've got it now.

-Beth Gerhardt, '81

I don't think that it's a very
good system because the inten-
sive study breaks the continuity
of year-long classes, because
having two semesters limits the
variety of classes I could take,
and because a semester would
be too long.

-Anna Bryan, '80

David Barton New
English Professor

David Alan Barton is the new
English professor on campus. He
received his B.A. at Boston
College in 1972, and his Ph.D. last
June from Stanford University.
Mr. Barton qualifies as the
youngest professor on campus, a
writer, poet and eligible
bachelor.

Mr. Barton's interests include
hiking and skiing though most of
his time is taken up in writing.
Several of his works (writings)

have been published and he is
now in the midst of writing a
book.

Coming from the cities of Bos-
ton and San Francisco, Mr.
Barton finds Atlanta limited but
full of warm, southern hos-
pitality. He hopes that his adven-
ture of living in a landlocked
region of the United States will
add color to his repertoire.

In teaching, Mr. Barton finds

the students at Agnes Scott show
a great deal of enthusiasm for
learning, and as women, they are
assertive and eager to get an
education.

Mr. Barton's special interest is
contemporary British poetry and
he studied under the contem-
porary British poet, Donald
Davie, at Stanford. So take warn-
ing Agnes Scott College, we've
got a poet and we know it.

Faculty Votes On 4-1-4

Friday, December 2, the
faculty voted on whether or not
to keep the present calendar,
change to the 4-1-4 system, or
change to the Early Semester
system.

The vote was purely preferen-
tial and non-binding.

The results of the vote were
somewhat ambiguous and
remain to be interpreted by the
Faculty Executive Committee,
which is working on the results
now.

Members of the faculty were
given a first choice vote and a
second choice vote. The first
choice resulted in 15 votes for
the Early Semester, 18 votes for
the 4-1-4 system, 31 votes for the
present system and 3 votes for
other systems. The second
choice vote resulted in 21 votes
for the Early Semester, 6 votes for

the 4-1-4 system, 10 votes for the
present calendar, and 7 votes for
other systems.

All of the choices have been
and are, working at other
colleges and universities so
none of the changes would be

radical ones. The question of
whether or not to change our
calendar has been around for
many years and most of the
faculty feel it is time a decision
is made.

Faith Week Planned

The Focus on Faith com-
mittee would like to remind
both faculty and students about
the art display that will be held
in the library January 15-19
(Focus on Faith week). The
theme for the week is Worship,
so the works are to be in-
dividual expressronsof worship
in drawing, painting, poetry,
photography, pottery, crafts, or
other means of expression. The

committee would like to stress
the point that works do not
have to include religious
praise, or admiration to God.
The Christmas holidays would
be a good time to work on
something since FOF week is
early in January. All art needs to
be submitted to Donna Wyatt
by January 6. Thanks for get-
ting involved in FOF, we need
your support!

Editorial

Catherine Sims on 4-1-4

On November 16 of this year,
Dr. Catherine Sims, former Dean
of Faculty of Sweetbriar College
and a former History professor at
Agnes Scott College, made a few
comments at convocation based
on her personal experience with
the 4-1-4 calendar. She pointed
out three major advantages: her
studies at Sweetbriar showed the
the change of pace was good for
restructuring thinking to bring
curriculum "out of a rut." The
professors and students were
able to devote more time to each
course and the winter term
offered an opportunity for
internships and unique studies in
addition to making serious

concentrated study possible dur-
ing the four week interim.

The disadvantages Dr. Sims
mentioned seemed to outweigh
the advantages. The eight-week
interruption had a disastrous
effect on language and lower
level mathematics studies. Too
many courses were offered with
negligible or no enrollment, thus
creating unequal teaching loads.

Independent study projects ran
into problems with not having
enough time to deal with subject
thoroughly and screening
students who were incapable of
producing satisfactory papers in

Concerning a New Calendar: Yes or No?

Editor's Note: The Profile's Editorial Staff requested two members
of the faculty to voice their opinions on the calendar change issue.
The professors have opposing views on the matter.

On Our Academic Calendar

"Je ne neux pas m'em de' faire"

I have no grand illusion
concerning the amount of
interest which the topic of calen-
dar change will fire among the
majority of those reading this
paper. This genuine lack of
interest in things of the calendar
has not, however, always been
so. In the 1960's, when Doones-
bury was an undergraduate "up
North," students were into
everything, including the
academic calendar. As I recall,
while we were all busy about
changing everything, there was
not a whole lot of time for study
or for lecture preparation, or for
the careful writing of papers or
the grading of papers.

Then, too, I remember my
years on the Centre College
faculty, years in which I was part
of a team which put together not
only a new calendar (4-2-4), but
years in which a whole new
curriculum was first designed
and then, over a period of years,
implemented. At Centre we
were working from the as-
sumption that learning can be
enhanced and learning time
reduced if closely related dis-
ciplines are taught jointly at the
introductory level. So, we
designed a series of freshman
courses which were multidis-
ciplinary and team-taught. It was
a very exciting enterprise for
some of the faculty, but it was
also years and years before the
prior level of effectiveness in
some areas of that curriculum
was regained.

My point here is simply that to
speak of calendar change is,
almost of necessity, to speak of
curriculum redesign (not just
curriculum change, but the
near-total abandonment of one
curriculum and the design of
another). Now, for such an
undertaking to be successful,
one needs a guiding principle, a
theory of learning by which to
light the way toward the
realization of some promised in-
crease in educational effec-
tiveness. At the moment, the

college (in common with the
rest of the higher education
community) has no theory by
which to guide massive
curricular renovation.

It is my belief that this college
hasan effective curriculum, and I
do not want to give it up. Daily I
see and experience the effec-
tiveness of our efforts. Under no
other calendar could so many
courses be so well taught by a
faculty of our size (and I feel that
I have some warrant for making
such a declaration because I
have taught under the semester
system, the 4-2-4 system, the
standard quarter, and the Agnes
Scott calendar).

The calendar of this college
maximizes the flexibility possible
in the scheduling of courses,
promotes the offering of courses
for various hours of credit, and
facilitates course change. We
now offer courses for 1-, 3-, 4-,
and 5-hours credit in which
classes may meet, depending on
the credit hours involved, for 3,
4, or 5 regular 50-minute periods,
or for 3 periods of 80 minutes, or
twice a week for 2 hours. In a
school where we have substan-
tial distribution requirements,
and where we cannot offer in-
troductory courses in more than
a few sections, and where we
cannot offer intermediate
courses in multiple sections, and
where one cannot begin an in-
troductory course in all quarters,
the fact that our offerings are so
varied in hours and time formats
across three registration periods
greatly reduces the conflict
problem. While you, the student
who finds herself boxed out of a
particular set of course offerings,
may doubt, on the basis of your
experience, the validity of my
observations concerning con-
flicts, imagine for a moment that
you could only enroll twice a
year and that added to the
courses now offered in the fall
quarter were a fair number of

The Other Side:

'There are two types of calendars being
proposed as alternatives to our present
system. . ."

I have been asked by the
editor to write an article sum-
marizing why I am in favor of a
calendar change. There are two
types of calendars being
proposed as alternatives to our
present hybrid quarter system,
the early semester and the 4-1-4.

The early semester calendar
would have two terms per ses-
sion (about 14 weeks in length).
The first term will have exams
before Christmas, the second in
late April and early May. Classes
would begin about September 4
and end about May 1. There
would be a Thanksgiving break
in the fall semester and a spring
break in the spring semester. The
advantages of this system over
the quarter are primarily for
academic improvement.
Students would be allowed a
chance to study a subject in more
depth with a longer period for
absorption of the subject matter.
In many rapidly growing dis-
ciplines, it is difficult to prepare
students adequately in a subject
in ten weeks. Many of us are try-
ing to squeeze a semester's
worth of work into 10 weeks in
order that our students can
compete with students from
other schools after leaving the
campus. There is a vast
difference between the
rudiments of a subject as op-
posed to having mastered the
basics and perceiving current
trends in a subject. This is where
the addition of a few weeks of
instruction could make a
significant difference.

Some charge that by moving to
a semester we would reduce the
number of courses available by a
third. This is true, but greater
depth has its own rewards. If
superficial rather than detailed
knowledge of a subject is
desirable (as measured by the
number of different courses on a
transcript), then one could
certainly follow that logic by
proposing 6 5-week terms a
year to dabble in as many fields
as possible, i.e., trading quality

for quantity.

Other advantages of the early
semester system include a
general reduction in the
workload "peaks" at the end of
terms, reducing the exam
periods from three to two, and
distributing the workload
somewhat.

The 4-1-4 is a variation of the
early semester, with a one month
"interterm" during January,
between the 2 13-week
semesters. The semesters would
be the same as in the early
semester system, but during the
January term students would
take only one course instead of
an average load of four courses.
This, as you might imagine, offers
a unique opportunity for in-
novative courses at Agnes Scott.
For instance, with no other
classes, students could take field
trips of an extended nature.
Most of the 252 privately-sup-
ported 4-year colleges on the
4-1-4 have January abroad
programs. The chance for 2, 3, 4,
or more professors to offer
interdisciplinary courses is
enhanced. Independent studies
could be improved by 4 weeks of
intensive work during the
interterm. The opportunity for
unemcumbered internships in
Atlanta, Washington, and other
places is another significant
aspect of the "1".

Those of us who favor the 4-1 -4
do so because of the exciting, in-
novative possibilities lacking in
the quarter and the early
semester (because of their
nature). We expect the courses
we would teach in the interterm
to be the equal of, if not better
than, any we teach now.

Finally, there is one distinct ad-
vantage both calendars will have.
A ge will, hopefully, force
Agnes Scott faculty to rethink
and reshape our courses and the
entire curriculum. A calendar
change would be a profound
change indeed.

These calendars are feasible at
continued on page 5

reports in four weeks. The costs
of the Study Abroad Programs
excluded many students who
could not meet travel expenses
from participating.

Although breaking old molds
in a curriculum should be
beneficial, I doubt if "getting out
of a rut" is sufficient reason for
disrupting an established calen-
dar. It seems the four week
interim does not allow enough
time to absorb and retain
material and the time can be too
easily wasted on poor courses.

This repeats the problem with
the quarter system, too much
material in too little time.

The early semester, also under
consideration, promises to
relieve some of the pressure of
the quarter system - yet it could
fail to provide a variety of
courses sufficient to constitute a
high standard of "liberal"
education. As a liberal arts
institution, Agnes Scott must
resist narrowing its course
offerings and remember its aims.

If the curriculum can be
reorgnized and still meet
previous standards, then the
arguments against changing it
are weak. The issue is not to
change, but to improve.

Mari Perez

ELIZABETHAN WHAT?

If you have heard or voiced
complaints about the fact that
Agnes Scott lacks a meeting
place to exchange ideas - now
you have the chance to do
something about it. Some
students and faculty have
gotten together to form an
"Elizabethan Society." The
society meets in the Faculty
Club on Tuesdays, Wednes-
days, and Thursdays from 4:00
p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Faculty, staff
and especially students may
come or leave during those two
hours as time allows.

I took a moment to drop in
one day and ended up talking
for over an hour. It is an
enlightening experience to be
able to discuss any issue which
come to our minds with people
I would never have time to see,
much less engage in
conversation. Do something
about the lack of exchange
between members of the cam-
pus community. Drop by the
Faculty Club and see if you're
interested.

Alliance Theatre

A Christmas Carol Opens

This season, for the first time,
th Alliance Theatre Company is
presenting a production of
Charles Dickens' beloved classic,
A CHRISTMAS CAROL. The play
opened on the Alliance stage
December 1 and runs through
December 18.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is
directed by Mr. Martin L. Piatt,
who has written an original stage
adaptation of Dickens' novel.
Mr. Piatt's script follows
faithfully Dickens' story of the
miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, the
Ghosts of Christmases Past,
Present, and Future, and Tiny
Tim and the Cratchit family.

Returning to Atlanta for A
CHRISTMAS CAROL are two
Alliance favorites, Philip
Pleasants, who plays "Scrooge,"
and Mitchell Edmonds, who

plays "The Ghost of Christmas
Present."

There are over thirty actors in
A CHRISTMAS CAROL, in-
cluding Travis Fine ("Tiny Tim"),
who played "Rufus" in last
season's ALL THE WAY HOME,
Lynn Fitzpatrick and Barbara
Hancock from the cast of COLE,
Matthew Faison, Linda Wilson,
John W. Morrow, Jr., Robert C.
Torri, Fergus G. Currie, Charles
Antalosky, Mary Nell San-
tacroce, and Muriel Moore.

Performances are Tuesday -
Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday
at 2:30 p.m., December 1-18.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL con-
tinues to play tosold-out houses.
Because of the over-flow
crowds, the Alliance Theatre
added a Sunday Matinee on
December 18 at 2:30 p.m. This

matinee will be general ad-
mission, and all seats will be
$5.00. The performance will be
interpreted for the deaf through
the cooperation of the Alliance
Theatre and Mr. Richard Dirst,
Superintendent of the Atlanta
area School for the Deaf.

The performance Wednesday,
December 14 at 8:00 p.m. is a
special benefit performance for
the Atlanta Lung Association's
Christmas Seals Drive. This
benefit performance is spon-
sored by The Alliance Theatre
Company and WSB Radio. This is
a regularly scheduled public
performance and tickets are
regular price.

performance, call the Alliance
Theatre Box Office, 892-2414.

It's time for 'The Nutcracker

by Peggy Lamberson

Children, bugles, drums, dolls,
snowflakes which dance and
shepherdesses made of
marzipan are but a few of the
marvelous ingredients of ballet's
sweetest Christmas present: The
Nutcracker. Every good little boy
and girl (and well-behaved
grown-ups, too) should give
themselves this evening of ballet
splendor and enchantment at
Christmastime.

Based on E.T.A. Hoffman's
story "The Nutcracker and the
Mouse King" and set to the
music of Tchaikovsky, The Nut-
cracker tells a story of bravery
and adventure, of beauty and
delight. The Atlanta Ballet, which
is privileged to be the only com-
pany other than the New York
City Ballet with rights to use
George Balanchine's acclaimed
choreography of this work, will
be presenting The Nutcracker
for your enjoyment from
December 26 - 30 at the Fox
Theatre.

The Nutcracker, with original
choreography by Lev Ivanov, was
first performed in December,
1892, at the Maryinsky Theatre in
St. Petersburg. Russia. Since its
premiere, it has become one of

the most popular ballets in his-
tory and is enjoyed around the
world. Many of the greatest
dancers of the past century have
added their special enchantment
fo this ballet. The roles of the
Sugarplum Fairy and her Cavalier
have been danced by such stellar
artists as Alicia Markova, Anton
Dolin, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf
Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov,
and Suzanne Farrel. Maniya
Barredo, partnered by Burton
Taylor, and Kathryn McBeth with
David LeHay will dance these
roles at alternate performances
of the Atlanta Ballet's Nutcracker
this year.

No evening-long ballet is a
small production, but The Nut-
cracker is a large scale spectacle.
A total of 117 dancers will
perform this season, highlighted
by new sets and costumes
created for last year's production
at a cost of $100,000. Over 250
costumes are used with over 600
different accessories. The
scenery requires over 60 hanging
pieces, and various types of mov-
ing vehicles on the stage. The
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Mr. John Head,
will perform Tchaikovsky's well-
loved music.

For the ballet-lover and

uninitiated alike, The Nutcracker
is an event to brighten the
Christmas season. For those who
have never been the the ballet,
what could be better to start with
than an evening of The Nut-
cracker? It is ballet at its most ap-
proachable and most charming.
Anyone who lets this season slip
by without The Nutcracker will
have a poorer Christmas for not
seeing it.

Opening night at the Fox will
be on December 26 at 7:30 p.m.,
with performances daily at 1:30
p.m. and 7:30 p.m. December 27-
30. Barredo and Taylor will
perform on the evenings of
December 26, 28, and 30 and the
matinees of December 27 and 29.
McBeth and LeHay will dance at
all the remaining performances.

Ticket prices are $7.75, $5.75
and $3.75 for adults, $4.00, $3.00
and $2.00 for children. Tickets for
The Nutcracker are available at
all S.E.A.T.S. locations including
all Rich's and Sears stores,
Peaches Records and Tapes, and
the Fox Box Office. For
reservations, call the Fox Box Of-
fice at 881-1977. Group rates are
available by calling 873-5811.

As a Bicentennial project, the
U.S. Department of the Interior
commissioned 45 artists to paint
America or at least those
aspects of the U.S. touched by
the agency. The results of this
project, an anthology of
American scenes ranging from
stunning landscapes to wildlife
to dams, lumber mills, forts, city
playgrounds, and even trash in-
cinerators, will be on view at the
High Museum beginning
December 10 and continuing

Academic Calendar

continued from page 2

our winter quarter offerings
(since the winter quarter would
be no more, all none-year-
long courses of the winter
would have to be either com-
bined with other courses or not
taught or offered along with
other courses). While the matter
does get complicated, the end
result is that in a semester or 4-1-
4 calendar more courses are
offered concurrently. Now, add
to this fact a normal 4-course
load and you begin to appreciate
our current arrangement. Talk
about scheduling conflicts!

As students, you must wonder
why the faculty spends so much
time and energy investigating
the calendar. A subcommittee
on the calendar reported in 1971
and strongly recommended that
we move to a semester system
"no later than by September
1972." Another committee set to
work on the calendar matter and
concluded in its final report that
"it is the conviction of the
members of the Committee on
the Academic Calendar that,
with imagination and initiative,
Agnes Scott can incorporate into
its calendar most of the ad-
vantages that are claimed by the
advocates of other systems." We
investigate the calendar issue, I
guess, because there is always
the thought that improvement is
possible but, even though we
may be alone in the land in hav-
ing this calendar, it does appear
to many of us that for Agnes Scott
it is the best yet.

Colleges change their calen-
dars all the time, from semester
to quarter, from quarter to
semester, from semester to 4-1-4
and back again, and on and on.
And, from your point of view,
what is the result of all this
changing about? Well, it clearly
is a mess so far as the students
caught in the change are
concerned. The costs to the
student will vary depending
upon how the transition is
planned, but because the
change involves the faculty in

many meetings, in the settling of
disputes, and in trying to figure
out how to retain the strengths of
the past while exploring new
opportunities, the energy
available for teaching must be
reduced. But the transition is a
relatively short period. And, in a
few years things settle down
again: Teachers teaching
courses, students taking courses
to learn and to fulfill degree re-
quirements. And what about the
school's effectiveness post-
change as compared with pre-
change? Who knows?

Ours is a curriculum offered
through a calendar which
facilitates innovation and course
change. You, in my judgement,
benefit greatly from our present
arrangement and would, I
believe, be ill-served by having
our energies diverted from
teaching into all that calendar
change involves.

Innovation and creative
endeavor wait on no calendar
change, nor will such be a
natural result of calendar
change. Those who are not
effective teachers or students
under one calendar cannot be
expected to become so under
another calendar. Why then, you
may ask, will any college ever
change its calendar? For
inutitutions which have lost their
vitality, in which there is a need
to define, to find, a new vision of
the future, it is often a useful
strategy for a skilled and in-
novative academic leader that he
or she scrap the old and inspire
the new through the medium of
calendar change. While no one
will be found to maintain that
our vision of the future is un-
clouded, few have reason to
doubt our fundamental strength.
Yet, I believe, we all know that an
uninspected present makes for
an uncertain future. We know
that there is some weight to our
unfinished business, and that the
calendar issue is but a symptom
of unease over that weight.

The Other Side

continued from page 2

Scott and will retain many
features that students like, in-
cluding the double major and
small classes. They do not alter
our commitment to the liberal
arts, and many feel the interterm
of the 4-1-4 will actually en-
courage people to take courses
outside of their majors.

Agnes Scott is an excellent
college and we are all committed
to making it a better college. We
feel that a change will benefit
our academic program. Most of
the privately-supported, 4-year
institutions in this country are on
a semester system (745 of 1370,
54%). Two hundred fifty-two
(18%) are on a 4-1-4. Only 206
(15%) are on a quarter system.
The other 13% have variant
calendars. The best schools in
the country are on a semester
system of some type. If the
semester is going to damage us
academically, why are so many
excellent schools under this
calendar, and so few on a
quarter?

We all know that different
departments and disciplines
within a school can often
function better under different
calendars. The question is, which
is the best for Scott? This colors
our opinion. Under what calen-
dar can we teach best? Under
what calendar can students learn
best? Which one provides the
most motivation? As a student, I

was always more excited about
my January term courses, and my
professors seemed to share my
enthusisasm. Our goal is stated
by Anatole France: "The whole
art of teaching is only the art of
awakening the natural curiosity
of young minds."

Finally, I would like to charge
the students. Change is not
always originated by the ad-
ministration or the faculty, but
also by the students. When
students were asked to respond
to the 4-1-4 Study Committee's
poll, only 95 of 560 (16.9%) of the
questionnaires were returned. It
is hard for the faculty to believe
most students care about any
changes, especially after this
type of response to a crucial is-
sue.

We know, as a result of the visit
to the Conference at Salem
College by some members of
SGA that Agnes Scott trails many
other schools in student
participation on faculty com-
mittees, etc. Many of you feel
that the time has come for
progress. Many of us feel it is
time for a calendar change, to a
semester system or a variation
thereof. It is time for Agnes Scott
to quit dragging her feet, always
being a reluctant follower, and
finally begin to move forward
into the mainstream of higher
education.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.-

January 13. 1978

Social Events Announced

Dr. John William Lancaster will be the guest speaker during "Focus
on Faith" weekend.

Faith Week Planned

Focus on Faith Week is January
15, 1973. Emphasis will be placed
on the theme "Worship: Our
Response to Him", and how we
can worship God through art,
poetry, music, dance and prayer.

Texan Dr. John William Lan-
caster, pastor of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Houston, will
be the speaker. Besides giving a
number of messages and Bible
studies, he will also be open to
talk, to play volleyball with, or
relax with around the dinner
table.

Special events of the week in-

clude concerts by The Gospel
Singers, The Summer Missions
Team of the First Baptist Church
of Atlanta, The Madrigals, and a
new group, Hyssop. Several
faculty members and students
will display art in the library dur-
ing the week, and two of the
evening sessions will include a
ballet and a sanctuary dance.

Hopefully the student body
will be able to take part in at least
some of the activities. The week
will be filled with fellowship and
growth.

bocial Council already has
gotten underway with plans for
enhancing the social life at
Agnes Scott this winter quarter.
If you missed the movie on
January 6, you do not have to
miss out on the other activities
scheduled for the quarter. This
Thursday, January 12, in the
lobby of Winship was the
Faculty-Freshman Dessert.
(Freshmen, in particular should
have made plans to attend this

function in order to become
better acquainted with their
professors). Today, Friday,
January 13. from 3:00-6:00 p.m. is
the first TGIF party of the new
year. However, this TGIF party
has a new appeal. Along with
beer, there will be
entertainment. The movie "Cat
Ballou", starring Lee Marvin will
be shown. There will be a slight
admission charge for this
function, but the cost will give

you two items for the price of
one. A movie party is planned for
January 27. (Keep posted for ad-
ditional details). The big event of
the quarter will be the winter
formal which will be held on
January 28 at the Atlanta
Sheraton (the former Stouffer's
Inn). "Eli" will perform from 9:00
p.m. - 1:00 a.m. Everyone is en-
couraged to include these
functions on their calendars.

Juniors Try New Project

The Class of '79 is presently
working on plans for a somewhat
different kind of class project
from those of past years. The
project differs from past projects
in that it is not a gift of money or
some similar gift, but a con-
tinuous project, one which will
be handed down to future
classes. The Junior Class plans to
transform the library courtyard
(located directly behind the
library) into a garden where the
campus community can read and
study outdoors. Work on the
garden will begin approximately
the first weekend in February
(weather permitting) with the
digging and planting of different
kinds of bushes and small trees.
All students, faculty, and ad-
ministration are invited to come
out and help with the digging.

In order to raise money for the
garden, the Junior Class is
currently planning to sponsor a
"buy - a - bush" campaign, in
which members of the campus

will be able to purchase a bush
for the garden. The Class of 79
urges everyone to support the
project by buying a bush when
they go on sale in the next few
weeks. With a little help from
everyone, the garden should be

ready for use by spring quarter.
This project should be especially
pleasing to those who find it hard
to stay indoors when the weather
is nice. See you with
shovels!

High-School Grads

by Mari Perez

In response to the complaints of how ignorant high-school
graduates are today, who reportedly cannot "read, write, or com-
pute" adequately, education officials in the United States are work-
ing hard to find out what high school students do know. Public school
students are currently taking proficiency tests which have shown that
some seniors are incapable of even filling out a college application
form. ?

In Florida, students need to have at least seventh and eighth-grade
level skills to pass the exam. Despite such low standards, four out of
ten high-school juniors failed the new "functional literacy test" ac-
cording to a recent magazine article.

Some educators complain that the tests are "culturally biased" -
the disadvantage of Black or Hispanicstudents - which accounts for
the poor performances in part. Unfortunately, the bas results also
reflect teachers' effectiveness. However, problems in integrated
schools often produce an added burden of maintaining order on the
fai ulnes.

Perhaps we need to r evaluate what is expected of public education
since it seems less supplemental education is provided in the home
th.in before. The rising divorce rate and consequent increase in one-
parent households has decreased the amount of time parents can
spend supervising their childrens' education. In addition, television
viewing usually replaces reading as a form of entertainment for
youngsters, thus lowering their reading skills.

V\ hatever the causes, there exists a considerable gap between the
requirements for a high-school diploma and the ability to meet those
requirements by a majority of teenagers. Apparently, they know
more about great moments in Elvis Presley's life, television comedy,
methods of birth control, and disco dances than American history.
The tests given in Florida demand some basic skills such as computing
percentages, interest rates, and finding a name in the telephone
directory.

Ac tually, the subject matter covered on the tests is still not definite.
Should a high-school graduate know more about grammar or how to
balance a checkbook? What about classical music? Automechanics?
The dilemna educators face stems from the changes in our culture.
Choosing beterrn strictly academic or technological subjects poses a
problem when attempting to structure a basic education program.
But if the questions on the functional literacy tests are any indication,
the emphasis today lies in preparation for the job market and manag-
ing household economic problems rather than "scholarly" pursuits.

FULL FACE: An insatiable hunger for knowledge

by Tina Robertson
I can see flakes of frozen
pi ecipitation floating b> my win-
dow. And I know that I will never
ha\e a guilty conscience when I
relate to my children how I
trudged to school through sleet
and snow. I won't have to make
up my story to prove my point
that some hardships must be en-
dured for mental development.
Most students are celebrating
the arrival of snow with a toast to
NO CLASSES TOMORROW." I
Can't even toast to "Yes, CLASSES
WILL MEET TOMORROW. THE
PROFS WILL BE PICKED UP AT
THEIR HOMES BY A SPECIAL
CREW OF SNOWMOBILES."
The snowmobiles were not pro-
jected in this year's budget, so
Dean Gary is personally picking
up the tab.

The lengths to which we go to
satisfy the insatiable hunger for
knowledge really amazes me (or
should I say the insatiable
hunger for a degree in-anything-

Technology Takes
Over

by Ruth Anne Relyea

The advance of technology has
led to countless comforts and
conveniences in everyday life. It
influences every aspect of
modern living, from the fabric
out of which our clothes are
made to the computerized bank-
ing facilities that allow easy
access to the cash with which we
buy our clothes. While the
conveniences of technology
have allowed us more free time
and independence, the misuse
of scientific knowledge may
deprive future generations of
personal freedom.

The Declaration of
Independence states that all men
are created equal, but in the
future this may no longer be the
case. In describing behavioral
engineering, a disciple of B. F.
Skinner explained, "For
openers, we can develop a
technology for routinely
producing superior human
beings ... We have the
technology for installing any
behavior we want." The im-
plications of this statement are
mind-boggling: many scientists
are now able to completely con-
trol an individual's abilities and
behavior. In the hands of the
wrong person, this knowledge
can conceivably lead to
generations of people devoid of
any individuality. Geneticist and
Nobel laureate Joshua
Lederberg has called upon
Congress to appropriate at least
$10 million to set up a national
genetic task force, which would
make a crash effort to broaden
knowledge of the genetic code
and simplify the biological
engineering of people. The time
for deciding who should have
the responsibility of this
knowledge is now, before scien-
tists begin to program our
thoughts and actions.

Society as depicted in 1984 or
Brave New World is still a rather
far-fetched idea, but there are
many techniques scientists use
or plan to use for reshaping
people and their behavior. These
include: stimulating or modify-
ing the brain: programming
behavior; manipulating genes;
controlling people by radio;

just-so-we-get- this-whole-
process-o\er-vvith ) Returning
from ihe Chiistmas weekend is
the epitome of challenge. The
end of the holidays always comes
much too soon and the exodus
from hometowns begins.

It vou are one of the lucky
students like myself that has to
experience the trials and
tribulations of air travel, mv
sympathy is with you. It is always
embarrassing to arrive at the
airport with your seven suitcases
and your three carry-on bags. I
always feel classy boarding the
plane with my shopping bag full
of homebaked cookies that
Mother shoved into my hand on
the way out the door. And
inevitably my jar of vitamins falls
out of the shopping bag into the
aisle of the plane. (I even com-
pleted one trip with my
toothbrush hanging out of my
skirt pocket.) Then the
stewardess announces over the
microphone that all carry-on
luggage "must be stored under
your seat and NOT in the
overhead rack." (I know the lines
by heart.) There never seems to
be enough room down there to
get all of my luggage situated.

As soon as I get myself
strapped in and ready for take off
Blotto Bertha comes along and
tells me that she has the aisle seat
but could she please trade with
me because she will throw up if
she can't sit by the window. This
is a most unbelievable statement
as far as I am concerned. But
what can you say to a three hun-
dred pound woman who is
threatening to throw up if you
don't move? I move, and swear
the whole trip that I am going to
turn to her and tell her that she
should have purchased two
seats.

The ever-expanding

already led to government of the
masses, rather than of the
people. With industrialization,
people are often valued only to
the extent that they are efficient
units of production. In societies
experimenting with Marxism or
Maoism, the individual is valued
only to the extent that he selfles-
sly contributes to the group. Too

or Everyone Loves Electronics.

The Atlanta airport is always
my favorite part of the trip. If my
luggage is not in East Pago Pago
then some other catastrophe has
occurred. The last time I went to
claim my suitcases was a catas-
trophe. In haste. I had thrown my
tennis racket into the bottom of
my hanging bag. The tennis
racket had ripped the seam out
of the bag. Much to my horror,
my slip was riding the conveyor
belt around and around and
around. The hanging bag was ly-
ing there spilling its contents out
all over. I thought that I handled
the situation marvelously. I sim-
pl\ gave my claim checks to the
Red Cap and told him that slip
was mine also and not to forget
it.

Slipping past the Hare

done by toe using your eyes on
the floor and walking very fast
with your hands clenched shut
so as not to receive a book for "a
small donation". Sometimes I
can't get past them without be-
ing a recepient of a book or a
carnation.

When they ask for the
donation I simply hand the book
or the carnation back to them
and smile. It throws them off
every time.

After this harrowing ex-
perience, all I have to do is ex-
plain to the cab driver that
Decatur does exist. Then there is
the cheerful drive back to Agnes
Scott. My favorite part is the
scenic drive down Candler. After
hailing friends to help with the
luggae haul, I feel that I have
won the game. I made it through
all of the barbed wire over the
hurdles, under the fences,
through the machine gun fire,
and I am safely on campus. The
only drawback is that I have
never figured out what my prize
is for winning.

Dear Editor,

I am writing in hopes that you
may possibly place a small ad in
your campus newspaper for me.

inmate seeking correspondence
with some decent young
people. Prison is a lonely life
where I have too much time on
my hands and not enough
friends in my life. To find the
friendship I need so badly I first
must find someone kind enough
to place a small ad for me. It
could be such a small thing to
someone in your position but yet
it could mean so much to me.

I only ask that you place a few
lines, something like:

and the various governmental
agencies; to develop useful
relationships between the
institutions and staffs for the

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

January 20, 1978

Faculty Discusses Curriculum Changes

At their regular monthly meet-
ing January 6, members of the
Agnes Scott faculty gave ap-
proval to a "preparatory
program for business" and
numerous other curriculum
changes, scheduled a binding
vote on the academic calendar,
and heard a report from the
chairman of the Independent
Study Committee, according to
Lee Copple. faculty secretary.

The newly approved business
( urriculum will not be a college
major but is intended to guide
the course selection of students
"to familiarize them with the
skills and knowledge to facilitate
their entrance into business." It
is the outgrowth of a task force of
faculty and administrators who
have been consulting with
business leaders for some mon-

ths, asking which parts of the
college's liberal arts curriculum
would be most desirable as
background for business careers.

Under the provisions of this
program, to be carried in future
editions of the college catalog,
students will be encouraged to
take a selection of nine courses
from a list including offerings
from a minimum of three
departments, including
economics, English,
mathematics, psychology,
philosophy, political science,
and theatre. Included as 'core'
courses will be Economics 204,
205, and 311, as well as either
Mathematics 101 or 120. The
college transcript issued forsuch
students will carry the notation
that they have completed the
Preparatory Program for

Folger Library
Exhibit Coming

"Shakespeare and His
England," an exhibit from the
Folger Shakespeare Library,
Washington, D.C., will be dis-
played January 25 - February 10
in the McCain Library. Open to
the public, free of charge, the ex-
hibit can be viewed Monday
through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m., Saturday. 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Sunday, 2:30 to 5 p.m.

A major part of the exhibit will
consist of 40 photographs, in
color and black and white, of
Shakespearean subjects and
Elizabethan life.

Of spec ial interest and value in
the exhibit will be four original
17-century folios and quartos of
Shakespeare's works. The
quartos are the plays "A Mid-
summer Night's Dream" dated
1619 and "The Merry Wives of
Windsor'' dated 1616. The folios
are dated 1623, 1632, 1664 and
1685.

These original folios and
quartos must be exhibited in a
fireproof building in locked dis-
play cases and each night

removed for storage in a safe or
vault.

Also included in the exhibit
will be Folger Library booklets
on Tudor and Stuart civilization
and a facsimile of the unique
quarto "T ; t us Andronicus" dated
1954. In addition, on display will
be a print of actor G. F. Cooke as
Richard III and an original
playbill for a Covent Garden
performance of "Richard IN" on
Nov. 24, 1800, with G. F. Cooke in
the title tole.

"Shakespeare and His
England" is being sponsored by
the history and political science
department and the English
department of Agnes Scott. The
exhibit will supplement the
course on England's Tudor
period taught by Dr. Michael
Brown, chairman of the history
department and native
Englishman. The English
department will also use the ex-
hibit for one of its courses on
Shakespeare's plays.

The faculty's decision to take a
binding vote on the future of the
college calendar at its February
meeting is the climax of several
months of intensive study of
alternate proposals, as a result of
which a non-binding vote at the
December meeting excluded
the 4-1-4 option from further
consideration. The vote next
month will be between the
present quarter system and an
early semester system, the latter
to have a sufficiently early start in
September to make possible
completion of a half-year's work
before a Christmas vacation.

Should the present calendar
be continued by the faculty,
there remains the issue of
whether this quarter could open

sufficiently early in the fall to be
completed before the
Thanksgiving recess, a plan
which was tried on an ex-
perimental basis for two years in
the mid-70's and which
numerous upperclassmen have
expressed an interest in seeing
revived. An informal, non-bin-
ding show of hands at the
December faculty meeting
likewise indicated considerable
support for such a calendar,
which would provide an ap-
proximately six weeks recess
from late November to early
january.

Professor Mary Virginia Allen,
chairman of the Independent
Study Committee, reported that
19 students from the
departments of art, biology,

chemistry, economics, English,
French, German, history, music,
philosophy, and political science
are expected to complete pro-
jects in this program during the
1977-78 academic session, and
she urged faculty members to
enrouage members of the junior
class to consider this option for
the next academic session.

Curriculum changes approved
at the meeting came from the
departments of chemistry,
economics and sociology, Fren-
ch; history and political science,
mathematics, philosophy,
physical education, Spanish,
theatre, and Bible and religion
and will will all be included in the
catalog which is now in
preparation.

Dr. Perry Talks With Students

Another informal discussion
with Dr. Marvin Perry, Jr.,
President of Agnes Scott was
held Wednesday, January 11 at
11:30 a.m. in Rebekah Recep-
tion Room. Present was a large
crowd of students. Very few
faculty or administration
members were there.

Dr. Perry opened with an an-
nouncement concerning the
concerts and speakers ex-
pected on campus, citing "my
old boys from Virginia", the
U.V.A. male Glee Club, and the
opera, Sister Angelica", as "first
rate". He then asked for ques-
tions.

President of the Student
Government Association (SGA)
Kaki Manning '78 asked why
students were expected to
return to Scott on Easter Sun-
day and if it were possible to
delay the return until the Mon-
day immediately following
Easter. She mentioned that it
was the most religious holiday
of the year for most of the
student body and a 'family day'.
Dean of the Faculty Julia T. Gary
replied from the audience that
"spring quarter is shorter than
the other quarters" and she
didn't think it necessary to
postpone coming back until
Monday because "most people
live less than a day away from
here." Kaki then asked if it
would be possible to register
one afternoon prior to spring
break". Dr. Perry said he's "see
if there's anything we can do."
(After an active campaign to
change the scheduling date,
Dr. Perry announced Monday,
January 16, that students are to
register on Reading Day,
Friday, March 10 and return to

Athletic Association
Chairperson Grace Allen '78
then asked "why spring quarter

is so short?"

Dr. Perry then announced
that the faculty will take a vote
at its next meeting concerning
the future school calendar. (No
date was announced). He said
the vote would decide
between the present calendar
(mid-semester start, 3 hybrid
quarters, 2 weeks for winter
vacation) and a nearly semester
program (late August-early
September start, 2 quarters
probably with 3 courses for 5
hours credit each, possibly up
to 4 weeks for winter vacation).
Dr. Perry Said, "If there's a
decisive vote, that's it for
awhile." He then added it was
"possible to go back to an ex-
periment we had here not long
ago" involving the present
calendar with an earlier start
and a 6 week vacation break.
He stated he wanted "to put
this calendar business to rest".

Julie Johnston '79 asked how
long it would take to put a new
calendar into effect. The
president answered it would
take "at least a year. These
things don't happen
overnight." If a semester
program were chosen, it would
involve the rethinking of
everyone's teaching.
(Numerous utterances of
'GOOD' came from the
audience.) Questions involving
topics other than vacations
were requested.

Susan Bethune '79 an-
nounced Focus on Faith week
and urged all present to attend
the many planned functions.

Grace Allen 78 mentioned
also "there's no heat in the din-
ing hall." Dr. Perry
commented, "Dress warm and
do the best you can." He said
he'd see what he could do.

Andrea Groover '79 asked
why Agnes Scott awarded no
credit for required P.E. courses
and what could the student
body do about it. Dr. Perry

urged those present to make
their "feelings known to the
faculty. We want to hear your
ideas." He mentioned also that
"the curriculum committee
plans to have open meetings
for students to talk in." The
dates of these meetings should
be announced in the near
future.

Crystal Watkins '80 asked
about the possibility of a
business department. Dr. Perry
responded "NO". The
curriculum committee ap-
proved listings in the catalog.
They put together a Business
Preparatory Program, which
may be taken as electives.
Upon completion of this
program a student is given
another certificate with the
graduation diploma. The
program includes courses in
English, economics,
psychology, and other course
to make Scott graduates more
attractive to businesses. A
Faculty Task Force wrote to
businesses over the summer to
discover what makes job ap-
plicants more attractive than
others. The firms stressed the
ability to read, write, and to
figure.

SGA President Kaki asked if
any new courses would be
added to the curriculum for
next year. Dean Gary answered
"There are lots of new courses,
but nothing dramatic and dras-
tic."

President Perry closed the
discussion with a plug for
summer-away courses such as
the trip to Mexico. He
acknowledged the unusually
cold weather and said "if it gets
unbearable, call me." He
instructed the students (most of
whom still had on their coats)
to keep warm and stay in warm
places such as the library. He
thanked the large crowd for
coming and the discussion
ended at 11:50 a.m.

Focus on Alcohol

Do we have a choice?

by Mari Perez

Although it may seem a bit ludicrous to discuss ASC's drinking
policy at the close of 'Focus on Faith' week, it deals with area of cam-
pus life which also needs some focus. The move to alter the current
policy was defeated last year, but I do not believe it should be
buried. The constant abuse of the alcoholic beverage restructions
should bring up a revaluation of the situation. The strongest
arguments oppsing a change in the policy was the fear that it would
damage the unity of the student body, and concern over the moral
aspects of allowing alcohol on campus.

"But we must keep in mind that

much more mature women
come from institutions with far
less freedom than we now have."

Unfortunately, Georgia law makes it impossible for students to
sell alcoholic beverages on campus; so a compromise which would
make it available - but not allow it in the dorms, is legally impossible.
Consequently, the next move would be to have alcohol in the

rooms.

Some people felt that allowing alcohol in the dorms would divide
the campus into 'drinking' and 'non-drinking' groups, and thus
generate cliques. Yet cliques are as evident at ASC as topsiders - I
don't see the point in eliminating the threat to a 'siterhood' which
does not exist. In fact, the assumption that any Scottie would be
eager to live next door to any other Scottie regardless of her social
habits (or anti-social habits) is an insult to our intelligence, not to
mention our individuality. This is an institution of higher learning,
not an overgrown sorority house.

"Whether or not drinking is allowed
on campus should not turn intp a
crusade to save the souls of
fellow students.

The second prevalent objection to changing the restrictions on
alcohol based on moral, even religious objections, takes the issue
out of context. Religious objections against drinking at an
institution which does not claim to follow the doctrine of any
particular Christian faith are as ignorant as condemning a Baptist for
not following a papal decree. Agnes Scott maintains its Christian
emphasis, but still welcomes students of all denominations; the
beliefs of each should be respected.

Whether or not drinking is allowed on campus should not turn
into a crusade to save the souls of fellow students. No mention has
ever been made of a plan to force students who don't drink to have
alcohol in their rooms, (although I'm sure there are many who
would be more than willing to due martyrs for the cause). The
reason the drinking policy was questioned was that a significant
number of students wanted to have a choice in the matter.

While Agnes Scott described itself as a women's college, perhaps
current restrictions negate this claim. But we must keep in mind that
much more mature women have come from institutions with far
less freedom than we now have. Having alcohol in your room is ob-
viously not a sign of maturity. The true test comes in seeing the use
and abuse of alcohol by the students

by Tina Robertson
As the eighteen wheel,
aluminum hauling. gravel
spraving Mack Truck pulled
onto the shoulder of the road,
the three of us looked at each
other and decided that
alternatives were nil. As Rufus
pulled us up into the worlds
biggest truck. I began to
wonder just who it was that
initiated the rumor that Scott ies
are helpless.

It all began on Friday the
thirteenth. The three of us.
(The names being withheld to
protect the innocent) were
most bored with fairely tale
land. We decided to venture
out into reality. (Which, as
rumor has it, we are not sup-
posed to be able to contend
with). We opted for a weekend
trip to the University of Mis-
sissippi. The plans had been
made a week ahead of time and
it seemed that nothing could
go wrong.

We left Atlanta and made it
safely to Jasper, Alabama.
There we had a slight obstacle
to content with. A steel belted
radial tire blew off the car. It
made the nuclear tests in
Nevada seem minor. Ah, but
this did not stop us. The tire was
changed, the tread was pealed
off of the side of the car, and we
were on our way again. We got
lost in Birmingham due to con-
clifcting deirections. Eight
miles from our destination, the
clutch burned out on an icy hill.
We were almost killed by on-
coming traffic. But luck was
with us here. There was no
moving the car; we had to have
it towed. A kind family packed
us all into their small economy
car and drove us the rest of the
way.

We thought that the worst
was over. Dates, parties, dan-
cing and romancing lay ahead
of us. Well, one out of four was
not bad juding from our
previous record. When I say
one, I mean we had one date
between the three of us. At
least we knew the fine art of
sharing. Friday night ended in
exhaustion. Tomorrow would
be a new day.

Saturday morning we were
greeted with a slight blizzard.
And the gas station attendant
enlightened us by telling us
that the car might be fixed by
Monday. I spent the day trying
to rustle up some dates. Luck
was not with us here. We were
still undaunted. The three and
one team ventured our Satur-
day night. The evening was
fairly uneventful except for the
four car collision on the icy hill.
No one was injured except for
one of our party that sledded
down the hill without a sled.

We vowed to leave early the
next morning. The ca r blew up
outside of Birmingham. This
was due to the fact that the last
surgeon had forgotten to tie
the viens back together.
Consequently, it caused a fire
in the steering column. We
walked to a gas station. We
hithc-hiked with a tow truck.
Finally the verdict was handed
down. The car couldn't even be
looked at until Monday. There
we were. Birmingham. No
money, no friends but a lot of

determination. We left our
wordlv possessions, grabbed
our books, and set off into the
cold day. All we knew was to
head east on Interstate 20.

So the three top-sidered.
pony-tailed. book-carrying
Scotties trudged wearily down
the highway. I had a letter
opener stuck in my pony-tail to
ward off attackers. Strangely
enough, we didn't encounter
any. We probably scared them.
Papa Farmer was the first to
help us on our journey. He
drove us through Birmingham.
Then he left us destitude on the
side of the road. This is when
our dear Rufus curbed his
eighteen wheeler and let us in.
We had a grand time. We sang
on the C.B. and there was com-
plimentary dinner at the truck
stop. Only one minor incident
occurred on this leg of the

journey. Ou r truck was
physically assaulted by another
truck. And we were wanred to
keep our distance with a
double barreled shot gun.

Rufus drove miles out of his
way to deliver his valuable
cargo to Atlanta. Our fondest
memories are of waving him off
at the Texaco station after four
hours of his compaionship. The
trip had taken us a mere ten
hours.

We were picked up at Den-
ny's by a friend (thank vou!)
who w hisked us back to school.
We had made it. We had
coped. On the way there were
no tears, ny hysteria. There was
sheer bravery. This article was
written for whoevei walked
into my room Sunda\ night at
ten thirty nine and asked.
"Tina, why are you beating
your head on the wall?''

Letters

Dear Editor,

Upon reading about the
deaths of two Florida State
University Co-eds, a few of us
were prompted to observe and
call to mind some un-safe prac-
tices of students on our cam-
pus.

Two sorority sisters on the
large Florida State campus were
clubbed to death early one
morning. Their assailant
entered the sorority house
through an unlocked door.
Several other girls were in the
house but no one heard the
beatings.

As we all know, our security
men keep watch over our cam-
pus around the clock, and for
this we should be grateful. But
safety cannot end there. We
need to be more aware of our
own responsibilities as
members of the ASC com-
munity.

For example: When one
student came in from a date
around 3:00 a.m. one weekend,
the door of her dormitory was
not closed. It was not necessary
for her to use the key. She sim-
ply pushed open the door.

Students were also observed
recently, opening a side door
for someone incessatnly bang-
ing on the glass. They did not
know, nor did they ask for, the
identity of the person knoc-
king. The door was opened,
and only then did they know
that it was an Agnes Scott

student knocking.

These two incidents are but a
few examples of how we can
easily take safety for granted.
By being lazy and careless, we
can only jeapordize our
belongings but our lives. This
may sound dramatic but it
happened at FSU. Thanks for
ths apce.

Some concerned students

Dear Friends-

I'm so frustrated having to
write my thanks to you when
I'm dying to spend time with
each of you just to pour out my
thankfulness! Bill and I have
really been aware that you have
been "sharers of our
sufferings" and that you're
"sharers of our comfort" too.
Thanks for jumping into our
shoes and for praying when we
were too feeble. Thanks for re-
joicing with us when doctors
gave us good news and for be-
ing concerned enough to ask.
Thanks for taking my res-
ponsibilities so I could just
about "live-in" at the hospital.
Thanks!

We've learned so much
about love and prayer and sup-
port through you! We've
learned that "our comfort is
abundant through Christ."
Thank you for letting Him
channel much of that abun-
dance through you.

Because He still live,
Kitti Smith

* * *

The theatre department of Agnes Scott College will present Mark
Hall Amitin of New York for a workshop and slide-lecture on
contemporary theatre Saturday, January 28, at Agnes Scott College.
The public is invited, free of charge.

Amitin is known for his work in experimental and radical theatre
of the 1960 s and 70's, according to Dr. Jack Brooking, chairman of
the Agnes Scott theatre department. Amitin, who holds a D.E.A.
degree from the Sorbonne in Paris, directs the Arts Alliance
International in New York City.

He will conduct a workshop on contemporary voice and
movement techniques from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Rebekah Recep-
tion Room of Rebekah Scott Hall. The number of participants will
be limited. To register for this workshop session, call the Agnes
Scott theatre department at 373-2572, extension 257. Observers will
be welcome.

Amitin will present his slide-lecture entitled "Visions for A
Changing Theatre" at 2 p.m. in the Winter Theatre of the Dana Fine
\rts Building. He will discuss experimental work by radical theatre
groups such as the Living Theatre, the Bread and Puppet Theatre
and the Performance Group, all in New York.

ART

The Atlanta College of Art Gallery at Colony Square opens an ex-
hibit of Alexander Calder Lithographs from January 23 through
February 3. The lithographs on exhibit are on loan from the
Goodstadt Gallery in New York representing the estate of Alex-
ander Calder. All lithographs are available for purchase.

The Atlanta College of Art Gallery is located within the Colony
Square Complex off the shopping mall. Gallery hours are Monday -
Friday, 12 - 6 p.m., closed Saturday and Sunday.

FILMS

Atlanta film buffs should mark the evenings of Friday and
Saturday, January 27 and 28, on their calendars when the High
Museum will screen films by and about Abel Gance, little known
maverick of the cinema.

Gance is known as the originator of the panoramic screen and
stereophonic sound. In the 1920's he was already working with
hand-held camera, wide-angle lens, rapid cutting, and multiple
superimposed images. He is often placed alongside Orson Welles
and von Stroheim in film history but his films are rarely seen.

On Friday, January 27, at 8 p.m., the High Museum will present
"Abel Gance: The Charm of Dyanmite" (1968: 52 minutes), a
documentary by Kevin Brownlow that serves as an impressive in-
troduction to Gance's work.

On Saturday, January 28, at 7 p.m., Gance's nearly five-hour long
"Bonaparte and the Revolution" (1925-71: 254 minutes, sub-titles)
will be showing. A "sound reconstruction" of his 1927 "Napoleon,"
the film stunned critics at the Ninth New York Film Festival.

Napoleon, Josephine, Danton, Robespierre, Saint Just, Marat
(played by Antonin Artaud) are all included in the breakneck his-
torical sweep of the period. Despite the unusual length, the film is
marked by Gance's thoroughly original sense of vitality, realized in
large part by his extraordinary use of hand-held (and hence mobile)
camera techniques at a time when cameras were almost too heavy
to lift.

Tickets are $1.00 for Museum Members with cards; $1.50 for
students with ID's; and $2.00 for general admission. The films will be

presented in the Museum's Hill Auditorium both evenings.

* * *

Two ducmentary films on environmental art will be shown at the
High Museum on Sunday, January 29, at 3 p.m. "Spiral Jetty" (35
minutes, color) records the 1970 construction of Robert Smithson's
1,500 foot spiral coil earthwork at the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
"Christo's Valley Curatin" (28 minutes, color), filmed by the
Maysles brothers, shows the hanging of Christo's huge orange
curtain across Rifle Gap in Colorado. Both films will be shown in the
Museum's Hill Auditorium and are free and open to the public.

MUSIC

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will present a Schubert Festival

consisting of three concerts of three different programs on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, January 20, 21 and 22 in Symphony Hall.
Robert Shaw, Louis Lane and Sung Kwak will share the podium for
this Festival, which was planned in commemoration of the 150th an-
niversary of Schubert's death.

Travolta Dances the Night Away

by Ralee Cates

Human beings are known to
have their weak moments; this
was mine. It all happened on a
rainy, post-Christmas Thursday
when spirits are running really
low and weakened women are
known to inflict punishment on
themselves. Being a soul with an
adversion to pain, I decided to
submit myself to the worse pos-
sible punishment: a movie
theatre full of sqiurming,
giggling, female adolescents.
And, if this wasn't bad enough, a
full two and one hours of wat-
ching John Travolta wriggle his
tightly-trousered fanny on a
larger-than-life screen.

After prefacing this review
with such negative thought, let
me say that Saturday Night Fever
wasn't quite as painful as I had
imagined it would be. There is
some fantastic music (which had
the teenyboppers in the
audience bopping in their $3.50
seats) by the BeeGees and as-
sorted other discoque groups.
The dancing is remarkable and

that made me look at my two left
feet in shame. There are some
high spots, not many mind you,
but some in the acting. Travolta
occasionally makes us forget he
is a "sweathog." One scene that
is very powerful is when Travolta
watches hopelessly while a
friend jumps from a bridge. For a
moment we see a real pain on his
face. Travolta might make a
pretty good actor if he could
ever shake his "Kotter" image.

On the whole, the story is very
weak and can't be held together
by the music. The tiny plot is
nothing more than a skeleton for
a disco dancing lesson. Basically
it is about this ambition less, New
York youth (Travolta) in a go-no-
where job who lives for Saturday
nights in a popular disco and
hanging out with his buddies.
Theirs' is a world of ten minutes,
back-seat conquests with
promiscuous, over-endowed
females, drag racing, whipping
up on rival gangs, and doing
hair-raising stunts on bridges. All
in all it is a very unappetizing

world. All of a sudden there is a
dance contest Travolta feels he
must enter. He finds this
"dynamite" female dancer with
a smart mouth and the two make
quite a team. Using your
knowledge of trite, you can
guess what happens, so I won't
waste the ink. At any rate it is an
interesting film and if one looks
deep enough it could be an ex-
pose on today's disco scene.

Ealier I mentioned the house
full of teenagers and I found that
they made the whole experience
even more distasteful than the
movie alone could make it. The
movie is rated R and justifiably
so. The language is extremely
harsh and there is a great deal of
violence and sex. The teenagers
found giggling to be un-
controllable and this definitely
hampers one's enjoyment. If you
plan to see Saturday Night Fever,
go to a late show on a school
night and you might be able to
enjoy it, or at least pick up a few
new dance steps for the Winter
Dance.

WHAT'S HAPPENING CONTINUED

Since all three concerts during this Festival will feature a different program, a great many of the works
of Schubert can be heard, including orchestra and choral works, trios and duets and chamber groups of
varied instrument (and vocal) combinations, a piano solo and selections of the ever popular Schubert
lieder.

For ticket information, phone the Box Office at 892-2414.

Glenn Phillips, guitarist widely known for setting innovative musical directions, will demonstrate his
virtuosity in concert at the Capri Friday, January 20, at 9 p.m.

Joining Phillips will be special guest star Bruce Hampton who, along with Phillips, helped shape the
Southeast's musical scene during the early 1970's, while together in the Hampton Grease Band. Tickets
are available at all S.E.A.T.S. locations.

For more information contact Toni Augustine at 325-0390.

THEATRE

The Theatrical Outfit and the Gypsy Rainbow Dance Theatre once again combine forces in a con-
tinuation of the original astrological drama Moonmyth Mnensis* (nem' sis) at the Performing Arena
located a 1052 St. Charles Ave., N.E. The show opens Friday, February 3 and will run Fridaythru Sunday at
8:30 p.m. thru February 26.

For those who saw Moonmyth I in November, the second part will answer the vital questions: "What
happening to Mars and Venus after leaving Saturn's realm?" and "Where did the Moon go with Pluto?"
The new production will begin with a condensed and revised review of Moonmyth I and lead directly
into an unexpected metamorphosis of the planets, forcing them to deal with death, rebirth, and a cos-
mic implosion. Moonmyth Mnemsis will contain new original music, dance, and dramatic forms, and
the script will vary according to the astrological chart on the night of each performance.

Admission is $3 general admission and $2 for students and unemployed. For more information and
reservations call 872-0665.

MDA Dance Marathons Sweep Country

Yowza! Yowza! Yowza! MDA
Dance Marathons on college
and high school campuses are
sweeping the country.

During the 1977-78 school
year, students at more than 500
colleges and high schools are
staging "Can't Stop Dancin,"
marathons to benefit the Mus-
cular Dystrophy Association. Last
year, some 300 dance marathons
held nationwide raised $1.3
million for MDA. This year,
dance marathon participants
hope to double that figure.

Kicking off this year's
program, "Can't Stop Dancin' "
marathons have already raised

$27,000 at Duquesne University,
Pittsburgh; $26,000 at Old
Dominion University, Norfolk,
Va.j $21,000 at St. John's
University, Queens, N.Y.; and
$17,000 at Southern Methodist
University, Dallas.

Most marathons range in
duration from 24 to 48 hours.
Some go on for as long as 62
gruelling hours. They often in-
volve entire communities, with
marathon organizers and
participants enlisting the support
of friends, businessmen, and
campus and community groups.

Hollins Begins liberal Studies'

Hollins College, Va. - (LP.) -
Hollins College has introduced a
new, voluntary program which
gives structure to the elective
courses of a liberal arts
education. The purpose of the
new Liberal Studies Curriculum,
explained its director Lawrence
C. Becker, is to make the
student's elective program a
challenging, richly varied com-
plement of her major.

"We want to get students to
think about their electives as a
block," explained Becker, "as
they think of their major. We

want both blocks to have
coverage, depth, coherence,
and cohesiveness. We want them
each to be unified sets of
learning."

Comparing the liberal studies
curriculum goal of variety and
diversity with the idea of dis-
tribution requirements, Becker
said there is a difference. "The
purpose of distribution re-
quirements is to introduce the
student to different subjects," he
said. "That is not our purpose.
We go beyond that, and immerse
students in a wide variety of dis-

ciplines."

The areas of study include
literature, philosophy, science,
the arts and human society.

The program also requires the
practice of academic disciplines
in the studio, in the laboratory, in
expository and creative writing,
and in work outside the clas-
sroom, i.e., a summer job.
Finally, there will be group
tutorials where, for instance, a
teacher of science might get
together and talk about archaic
science, thus relating those two
otherwise diverse subjects.

Scott To Lend Painting

Agnes Scott has agreed to
lend, Lord Frederick Leighton's
The Reconciliation of the Mon-
tagues and Capulets over the
Dead Bodies of Romeo and
Juliet c. 1853-5, to an exhibition
of Victorian High Renaissance
paintings. The exhibition,
which will also include the
ORK OF Watts, Moore and
Gilbert will open at the Man-
chester City Art Gallery in
England on September 1, 1978.
The show will remain there un-
til October 15, after which it
will be presented at the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
from November 19, 1978 until
January 14, 1978, and The
Brooklyn Museum of Art from
February 10, 1979 until April 18,
1979.

Frederick Leighton (1830-

1896) won acclaim early in his
career for The Reconciliation
of the Montagues and Capulets
over the Dead Bodies of
Romeo and Juliet and the more
famous, Cimabue's Celebrated
Madonna Carried in Proces-
sion through the streets of
Florence, which upon its ex-
hibition in 1855 was
immediately bought by Queen
Victoria. Under the Queen's
patronage Leighton prospered
and became one of the most
well-known and influential
painters in England. He was
elected President of the Royal
Academy in 1878 and directed
that institution until his death
in 1896. A strict adherent to the
classical revival which sought to
emulate the ancient art of
Greece and Italy, Leighton

provided in his many works a
precise reflection of Victorian
taste.

Donated to Agnes Scott in
1963, The Reconciliation of the
Montagues and Capulets over
the Dead Bodies of Romeo and
Juliet now hangs in Rebekah
Reception Room. No one can
recall exactly who contributed
it to the school but the bes-
tower is thought to have been
an alumna who after purchas-
ing the picture found it too
large for her house.

The painting, in adequate
condition except for two rops
in the canvas, will be mended
and restored by Fred Reed of
Fred Reed Picture Framing Inc.
before going on its tour of ex-
hibitions.

Honor Emphasis Week Scheduled

Honor Emphasis Week will run
from January 30 - February 3.
Honor Court is sponsoring a
chapel at which time Ms.
Charlotte Gillis, Honor Court
Chairman from '74 - 75, will
speak. Also at this time the
student body will have the op-
portunity to resign the pledge
signed on the applications for
admission. In addition, Honor
Court is sponsoring a Hub party

and an informal discussion in the
Hub. Since the Honor System en-
compasses all aspects of campus
life, Rep Council, Interdorm,
and Christian Association are
also sponsoring programs for
Honor Emphasis Week. Be sure
to check the weekly calendar for
a detailed schedule or events.

Honor Court feels that this
week is an important time for re-

evaluation of our conception of
the Honor System and re-com-
mitment of ourselves to the
Agnes Scott Honor Code.
Students all agree to abide by this
code, but somehow get so
caught up in the work, ex-
tracurricular activites, and any
playtime fit in between other ac-
tivities that sigh is lost of the ideal
upon which the campus com-

munity is based - that of res-
ponsibility and trust. It is fitting
that, in the middle of winter
quarter and the middle of the
academic year time is taken to
appreciate the Honor System
and the trust it both depands
upon and reinforces.

While calling on all to reassert
support for the Honor System,
Honor Emphasis Week will also

Frederick Taylor To Perform Here

For over five and a half years
the Frederick Taylor and Com-
pany has successfully introduced
cultural programs, concerts and
lecture demonstrations pertain-
ing to dance. This dance theatre
has been designed to eliminate
misconceptions evolved around
the Black dancer. Consequently
this would enlighten and import
inkling of Afro-American
cultural heritage through dance.
The Black dancer's role in world
history has been a changing one,
from that of relatively in-
signifance to one of crucial im-
portance.

It is with this in mind that Mr.
Taylor has developed his dance
company and dance theatre in
Atlanta, He hopes meaning to
Black dance in the South. He has
geared all of his resources to
developing dancers and
performing dances with theatre
connotations. (Mr. Taylor has
trained many of Atlanta's Black
dancers and will establishing his
first dance school.) Mr. Taylor is
the founder, director, and sole
supporter of the Frederick Taylor
Dance Theatre. He is Atlanta's

first Black male dancer to
pioneer the Afro-American
dance. Mr. Taylor's techniques
are derived from Africa, Haiti,
and the Carribean, and are com-
bined with classical ballet and
central European dance and
elements of Afro-American and
modern American dance forms.

This year marks the beginning
of the Frederick Taylor and Com-
pany in a fund raising drive to
open Atlanta's first independent
Black dance school, theatre, and
museum. The school theatre will
house a complete dance library
and a library on Black dancers;
ranging from Africa to Haiti and
the whole Carribean. This library
ranging from Africa to Haiti and
the Carribean. This library will
consist of dancers past and
present, such reknowns as
Katherine Dunham, Pearl
Primus, and Billy Robinson tothe
forerunners of modern dance -
Martha Gresham, Isadora Dun-
can, and Ruth St. Dennis. There
will be a studio museum com-
bined with art and sculpture
especially designed for children,
teenagers and adults to acquaint
them fully with the arts of life. It

Dr. Lancaster
Enjoyed Visit

A special feature of Focus on
Faith Week, January 15-19, was
Dr. John Lancaster, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of
Houston. It was a special week
for him since he felt that the
faculty and the student body re-
sponded well to his discussions.
He described the students as
"friendly, warm, and grac'ous,"
but regretted that he did not
have more opportunities to meet
students individually. The cam-
pus as a whole left him with a
"very good feeling" and he con-
sidered it to be "wholesome and
good".

Dr. Lancaster also had nothing
but praise for those who worked

on the Focus on Faith Week. He
found the events to be well
planned, and that the
participation was satisfying.
Many students expressed they
had thoroughly enjoyed his dis-
cussions, and had learned alot.

Given the theme of worship,
Dr. Lancaster stressed that
worship is an integral part of
every area of life. He feels that
service and worship go hand-in-
hand in everyday living, and are
not set aside for Sundays only.
He strongly hopes that he
presented this clearly in his dis-
cussions.

will be constructed completely
for the enlightenment of
southern Americans.

Frederick Taylor and Com-
pany will perform at Agnes Scott
on February 6 at 8:15 p.m. in
Gaines Chapel. They will be here
during Black History Week
which is sponsored by the

Students For Black Awareness.
The title of the performance is
Roots: The Black Man and His
Dance. Other activities planned
are as follows:

Lutheran Church Youth Choir, 2)
Smith Chapel AME, The Lonnie
Young Gospel Choir.

be a time of suggestion and
criticism. There will be op-
portunities for board members
and other students, faculty, and
administration to discuss
weaknesses and problems en-
countered with the Honor
System in hopes of solving some
of these problems. Such dis-
cussions will also bridge the rifts
of misunderstanding inherent in
any system dependent upon the
cooperation of so many people.
It is hope, too, that all will use
Honor Emphasis Week as a time
to voice support and praise for
the Honor System as well. For as
with all things taken for granted
there comes a time to slow down
and appreciate.

Scott To Co-Host Dr. Dora Arce

Cuban educator Dr. Dora Arce
will speak on "Education in
Socialist Systems" and "Being a
Woman in a Revolutionary
Society" February 1 at Agnes
Scott College at 4:00 p.m. in the

BSA Ends Evaluation

The Board of Student Activities
has finished their winter quarter
evaluation of all boards on cam-
pus. This is the first such
evaluation and has been termed
a success.

Previous boards did not
properly carry out their duties as
stipulated in the BSA
constitution. As a result,
proposed amendments to the
constitution were made last year
so that the present duties of the
board would be as follows:
"The Major function of BSA
would be to coordinate on a
quarterly basis and to evaluate
annually the student activities
on campus. (Handling all
alcoholic beverage requests
also.)

An evaluation form designed
by BSA would be distributed to
the boards, preferably the first
day of winter quarter. In-
dividual meetings with the
President and Vice-President of
each board, the core group,
and the Dean of Students
would be held for ap-
proximately thirty minutes to
discuss their self evaluation.
BSA would meet twice a week,
seeing four boards per

meeting, beginning the first or
second week of the quarter."

There arose some problems
with the evaluation form such as
its' application to certain boards.
However the board plans to
evaluate the entire program
themselves in order to iron out
any problems. These forms will
be kept as records for future
organization leaders and BSA
board members.

The board feels that the
evaluation was successful
because of the responses from
organizations evaluated and
because discussions produced
information about problems in
organizations as well as ac-
complishments.

After BSA properly determines
how well they have functioned
as an evaluating board, they will
be available for further dis-
cussion with any group who so
desires it. The board will also
make any suggestions that they
find necessary to the various
organizations.

The proposed BSA
constitutional changes will be
evaluated again by the Student
Government Association (SGA)
at the end of winter quarter.

Theology in Matanzas, where
her husband Sergio Arce serves
as president. She earned her
doctorate in education from
Santa Clara University in Cuba
and worked for several years as

Dr. Arce is accompanying her
husband to Atlanta where he will
meet before the General Assem-
bly of the Presbyterian Church.
Sergio Arce is an important
theological leader in Cuba.

After her discussion, from
4:00-5:30 p.m. on February 1, in

til 6:30 p.m.

Editorial

Winter Quarter

not worth it

by Marie Perez

Monday morning; it is a trauma I go through once a week. After
( ursmg the girl who dared to wake me, I looked out the window to
judge what fashionable attire would grace my body with today. But
something seemed strange. I reached to pull up the shade and I
grasped the problem - the shade was up. Gad! Gad! Someone has
absconded with the scenery! Everything outside had taken on various
shades of gray, all blending into a kind of non-scene.

I pulled out my supply of plastic bags, tied one around each foot
and wrapped up my books. After all, what Monday's complete
without a little rain?

Monsoon season at Agnes Scott faces us again. Winter quarter
washes into what seems like one long wet interim. It gets harder to
distinguish the time of day (with the exception of mealtimes), conse-
quently we end up floatingaround not knowing whether to be awake
or asleep. Usually sleep overvomes us at the most inappropriate
times, (the middle of a test is not an appropriate time.) Naps get
longer and longer; mainly because there is no reason to be awake.

The stoic Scottie can tell herself it builds character to drag her
drippy self to class. What other time of year can you measure the ab-
solute heights of frizziness your "do" can reach? Or read a stop watch
to see how fast it falls after you take out your curlers? Or need a
( hange of raincoats? The Winter Dance wouldn't have its special flait
without umbrellas at the door and limp evening bags on the tables
within.

Actually - Winter quarter at Agnes Scott College is a great time to
get all those little things done you don't have time for in the spring:
crying spells, dejection, flus, suicide. Some of my best depressions
have been during winter quarter. There is no better time to sit around
and think soggy thoughts.

For my rationalization - 1 can't derive any inspiration from constant,
cold, wet miserable weather. ( ... Tends to drown out one's ap-
preciation of 'God's green earth'). We, as a student body, must act to
remedy this problem. Since the college calendar was under dis-
cussion so recently - I suggest we settle the issue and eliminate winter
quarter altogether.

Matt) Agnes Scott College students could take their academic
pursuits to drier, more stimulating centers of learning: Hawaii for
instance. For those who want to keep up their language skills, the
Carribean would be a profitable area for study. Political Science
students could travel to South America and see how long they could
Stay without getting arrested. Other can serve internships with ski
instructors in Colorado (even Centrelce will do!)

Thus, we would eliminate the effects of depressing weather by an
age old device - escape I have found that escape is a very effective
solution to problems in general. Considering the lethargic nature of
students this time of year - it seems the only sensible solution.

by Tina Robertson

The sun streamed through my
window, and I sat up in bed.
Good God, I am twenty one! I
got up to get dressed. In the
bathroom I peered closer at the
reflection wondering if I would
find any crow's feet embedded
under the corners of my eyes.
There were not any crow's feet,
just a few potential wrinkles.

Back in the room I eyed my
straight legged Levis and top-
siders that were thrown on the
floor. I stepped over them into
the closet where there hung a
number of unworn skirts. I
pulled one out, picked out a
matching blouse, a cardigan, a
pair of shoes, and a pair of hose.
HOSE! Hose are for church. I
couldn't do it. I hung the skirt,
which still had the price tag
hanging from the waistband,
back in the closet.

I pulled on my worn and torn
jeans, my high school sweatshirt,
and my topsiders. I set off for the
mailroom. It just so happened
that my mailbox was pregnant
with mail. Birthdays are the only
days that one can count on hav-
ing mail in one's box. Mothers
are very faithful about
remembering. (I wonder why?) I
removed the cards from my box
and walked back to the dorm.

I opened the letter from Dad
first.

"Dear Tina,

It looks like you are ready to
celebrate that twenty first birth-
day - / know that at this time
fathers are supposed to have
some weighty words of wisdom
for their daughters. Words that
they can depend on to pull them
through the rough spots that are
bound to come down the road in
the near future. Sometime in the
distant past, (when I was much
younger), I am sure that I would
have developed bundles of wis-
dom and shipped them off to
you without hesitation or
trepidation. But now it doesn't
come as easy. You have your own

mind and I expect that ...

I looked up from the letter. I
felt panicked. For the first two
years of my life they begged me
to stand up and talk. For the next
nineteen they told me to sit
down and shut up. Now they are
telling me to make up my own
mind. I had heard rumors of this
responsibility that walked hand
in hand with age, but I still
wanted to be a kid. I finished his
letter and opened the card from
my mother.

"Dear Tina,

You have grown up fast ... I
sent you a gift and put a silver
serving fork in your hope
chest.."

HOPE CHEST? I didn't even
know that I had one. I felt
depressed. I knew that come
spring break I would go home
and find my doll shelf recently
evacuated. The thought of Patty
Play Pal swearing away up in the
attic made me pale. How could
they do this to me?

I received a cake from my
grandparents with a card that
read, "If you are not able to blow
out all the candles, beat them out
with your cane." This was the
straw that broke the camel's
back. I was filled with self pity.

That night a friend and I went
to the liquor store to buy a fifth
of "liberation" for a party. Stand-
ing at the counter. I wrote the
check and presented it along
with the proper credentials to
the very southern clerk. He read
the check and with a drawl
asked, "May I have your parents'
phone number?" I stood there in
shock. "My parents' phone
number?" I asked in indignation.
"I will have you know that I am
twenty-one years old!" He
looked at me and grinned,
"Honey, you are just a spring
chicken, I don't give a tinker's
damn if you are thirty, just
gimme your Mamma's number".
I gave it to him.

Rep Reports

President Kaki Manning called
the meeting to order, devotion
was given, the minutes were read
and approved, and the roll was
called.

Committee reports were
given. Leigh Dillon of the
Student Life Committee men-
tioned some ideas that they have
been working on: 1) smoke
detectors in the dorms, 2) fire es-
capes for 4th Main and Inman,
and 3) an auto mechanics course.
Sally Stamper reported that the
Lecture Committee is working
on the program for next year.
She mentioned some of the
events that have been scheduled
and that some of the major
functions will require an ad-
mission charge. Elizabeth Wells
of the Library Committee
reported that there has been no
decision to extend the library
hours completely, but there is a
possibility of doing so during ex-

ams.

Because adding the office of
Secretary of Interdorm is a major
change, Kaki felt that the whole
student body should vote on it.
When constitutional revisions
are made in the spring, this
change will be brought up. If it
passes, petitions for the office of
Secretary of Interdorm will open
in the spring of this year.

Melanie Best read a letter from
Dr. Perry stating that Dolphin
Club, Studio Dance Club, and
Glee Club will be funded by their
appropriate departments.

Kaki and Lynne Oswald are
working to organize CAP as a
college committee.

Sally Workman reported that
after she has gotten the results
from the questionnaire to be
given tothe freshman tomorrow,
she will present RC 180 regarding
the Alcoholic Beverage Policy.

Ms. Elizabeth Kemp as "Baby Doll" and Mr. Nick Mancuso as"Silva Vacarro" in the Alliance Theatre's
production of Tennessee Williams' world premiere, TIGER TAIL, playing January 19 - February 4.

Tiger Tail" A Letdown

The world premier of Tiger
Tail by Tennessee Williams was
enough of a disappointment in
the first act that any curiosity
about the outcome of the plot
was overwhelmed by my desire
to leave. The set was splendid
enough: the curtain opened on a
perfectly dilapidated two story
house with all thescars caused by
extreme heat and disuse. Ap-
parently, the leading characters'
brains have suffered the like.

Baby Dolls' dialogue, was
delivered in a flat monotone
which was not corrected until
the second scene. Elizabeth

Kemp plays this dull, oc-
casionally funny role as well as
the script permits. Mary Nell
Santacroce as her Aunt Rose
Comfort gives the best
performance by far in the first
act. The rest of the cast play
caricatures rather than
characters. They seemed more
suited to a television situation
comedy than a theater.

The play made me cringe not
only because of its degenerate
portrayal of man/woman
relationships, but its complete
lack of respect for females dis-
played by both sexes. I could not

comprehend Baby Doll's ex-
agerated passivity with respect to

Fodor To Appear With Atlanta Symphony

The Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra's thirteenth subscrip-
tion series of concerts on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, January 27,
28 - 29, features the out-
standing young violinist Eugene
Fodor. Fodor is sometimes
referred to in the West as the
Mick Jagger of classical music. In
Moscow, however, he is known
as the best young American
musician since Van Cliburn.
Moscow was first introduced to
Fodor when he entered the
Tchaikovsky Competition there
in 1974. For some mysterious
reason the 19 judges withheld
first prize and gave three second
prizes - to Fodor and two Soviet
violinists. Reports from Moscow,
however, say that many in the
capacity Russian audience felt

the handsome American should
have had the gold medal and that
he was the only one of the trio to
receive a standing ovation.

Prior to the Moscow triumph
Fodor won the Merriweather
Post Competition in
Washington, D.C, and in 1972,
he won the International
Paganini Competition in Genoa,
Italy, the first American in 21
years to win top prize there.

Fodor has subsequently
appeared as soloist with the ma-
jor orchestras of the world elicit-
ing praise from critics on his
"large, handsome tone and
vigorous rhetorical style" and
"abosolute concert artistry."

The Symphony's principal
guest conductor Mr. Hiroyuki
Iwaki will conduct the series

Patricia Nelson Spoke On Careers

On Friday. January 20 at 11:30
a.m. in Maclean Auditorium.
Miss Patricia Nelson from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, gave a
talk on "Futuring Careers."

Miss Nelson's job with the
Bureau is that of an information
officer, and she aids in the
spreading of the Bureau's
programs.

One of the programs offered
by the Bureau is an Occupational
Outlook Program. The Bureau is
not an employment agency.
They do not recommend or
choose careers, but they "set the
stage for making a better
choice", Miss Nelson said.

Miss Nelson also said that
twenty per cent of the jobs from
now until 1985 will be specifically
for college graduates.

The Bureau makes projections
about the labor force. The pro-
jections for women in the labor
force are always too low. Most

women of working age do work
because of economic necessity.
It is necessary as a woman today
to be able to sell oneself in the
job market. A college degree is
very helpful in doing so.

The demand for college
graduates by 1985 will be 12.1
million and the supply will be
13.1 million because of increased
college enrollments. This does
not mean increased unem-

ployment, but it doesn mean
more job dissatisfaction for
college graduates.

State and local government
and the Insurance and Finance
industries will be hiring about
two-thirds of the labor force in
the near future. This is a plus for
college graduates because many
jobs are becoming educationally
upgraded and more often than
not, college degrees are re-

quired.

Many of the new jobs in the
future will be in the professional
and technical fields. The goods
producing industries, such as
mining and agriculture will not
be hiring many college
graduates or much of the general
labor force in the future.

Miss Nelson's talk was basically
optimistic for the college
student. The Bureau of Labor

Statistics puts out two
publications of special interest to
college students, that can be ob-
tained in the Career Planning of-
fice here at Agnes Scott. They
are, "The Occupational
Quarterly", and "The Oc-
cupational Outlook for College
Graduates.'"

Volunteers Needed For England 'Dig'

The Association for Cultural
Exchange is a British
Organization founded in 1958.
They are currently accepting ap-
plications from students who
wish to join them in a summer
program. Students are urgently
invited to help in archaeological
excavations in England next
summer. The deadline for ap-

plications is March 1.

City center redevelopment,
new road-building programs
and rapidly changing land use
are threatening the
disappearance of prehistoric
graves, Iron-age settlements,
Roman villas, fascinating relics of
medeival towns all over Britain.

American students free from

mid-May, and with previous
archaeological experience, are
invited to join an international
team on a dig of the important
mediaeval city of Northhampton
and the pagan Anglo-Saxon
cemetery at Spong Hill in
Norfolk. Experienced volunteers
will receive free board and lodg-
ing for helping in this important

Credit Advice For College Students

Legal protection aside,
although nothing will substitute
for good credit history and good
income, there is evidence that
the consumer credit industry is
more receptive to young cus-
tomers than ever before.

In the past, for example, it has
been much more difficult for
young adults to rent a car than to
buy one. If he tried to rent a car
for a weekend trip or a
Thanksgiving visit to the folks'
house, the campus-bound
college student was generally
stranded. (The best he could do
was beg a jalopy from a
( lassmate.) In those days, the car
rental industry usually put a 21-
year-old age "floor" on renters
and occasionally the re-
quirement would go as high as
25. Although some major rental
companies still reportedly dis-
courage renters under age 21,
National Car Rental has chosen
to open up its business at
corporate-owned locations to
qualified customers as young as
18. That new rental policy began
three years ago and National
President J. W. James explains
why: "We feel that qualified 18-
year olds are certainly re-spon-
sible enough to rent a car.
However, they still have to have
the same credit and other
qualify ations as the rest of our
customers." (This includes a
valid drivers license and an
authorized credit card or credit
verification.)

"This new age minimum for
our car rental customers is con-
sisten with the change in at-
titudes in all phases of business,"
James said. The new policy
affects all corporate-owned
National Car Rental outlets
located in most major U.S. cities.

More than other consumer
credit enterprises, car rental
firms take a major risk with every
renter a later model car, no
more than one year old, for ex-
ample, is now worth between
$4,000 and $6,000.

Rollie Krefall, director of in-
surance for National Car Rental,
adds, however, that although
some of his peers in the rental in-
dustry may strenuously disagree
with him, he thinks young ex-
ecutives are a good bet: "They're
probably the cream of the young
crop. It's too soon for us to
report any statistics on accident
rates by age, but we are well
aware that National Safety Coun-
cil accident statistics indicate the
largest number of accidents do
occur in the 18 to 24 age group.
Our information indicates,
however that young ex-
ecutives, especially those who
are credit-qualified college
graduates, are a far better risk
than the average 18 to 24-year
olds."

Young borrowers can follow
this rule of thumb, says Don
Huot, consumer finance
supervisor for the state of
Minnesota: "Seek out the
hometown bank where the staff
knows you and your family. If
you're considered 'good, solid
stock,' they'll take a flyer on you.

Auto loans are generally easier
for young people to secure
because the car, itself, is valuable
collateral, says Huot. To make
auto loans more palatable, the
American Bankers Association
reports that 77 percent of its
member banks now offer loans
for more than the once-
traditional 36 months. Auto
buyers young or old should
also shop around for the best

loan. A person has numerous
borrowing choices he can
draw from a personal savings ac-
count as collateral; he can

borrow on a life-insurance
policy; or go to a bank, finance
company, savings and loan or
credit union.

Nunn Intern
Program Set

The Sam Nunn Senate Intern
Program for 1978-79 is an ex-
citing opportunity for students.

Students from any discipline
are invited to apply. The
internship is an academic
program, and students are
required to register for credit.
Although credit is more com-
monly awarded through your
school's political science
department for such an
internship, it may be awarded
through any department which
the college or university ap-
proves.

Deadline for applying for the
Nunn program is March 15. Ap-
plication forms and request
transcripts and letters of
reference should be completed
as soon as possible. Students
should request that transcripts
and letters of reference be sent
directly to the Selection Com-
mittee, with deadline for receipt
of these items also March 15.

Finalists will be selected in
April, with interns designated by
May 1.

For further information, con-
tact the political science
department.

The PROFILE staff would like to start a new feature to give students a chance to
advertise their need for rides or riders to and/or from the Decatur area. (Similar to
the bulletin board in the mailroom.) The service will be free of charge, and
hopefully appear on a weekly basis beginning February 10. Notice should be in Box
764 no later than 2:00 p.m.. February 6.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, G A.-

February 10, 1978

Faculty Voted For Early Fall Quarter

Members of the Agnes Scott
faculty voted by a 2-1 margin at
their February 3 meeting to con-
tinue the college's present
quarter system rather than move
to an early semester plan but
then voted, by an even larger
margin, to institute an "early fall
quarter" schedule effective with
the 1979-80 academic session.

This latter provision would
mean a return to the ap-
proximate calendar attempted
on an experimental basis for two
years in the mid 70's, and it
would provide for a sufficiently
early opening of the fall term to
complete a full quarter in-
cluding examinations, before
the Thanksgiving recess. The
college would then remain

closed until the opening of the
winter quarter in early January.

The binding vote to reaffirm
the quarter system followed
several years of faculty study on
various calendar arrangements,
including the work of a study
committee to evaluate the 4-1-4
option and another committee
to study an "early semester
variable hour" possibility. The 4-
1-4 proposal had been defeated
by a nonbinding preferential
ballot at the December faculty
meeting, and the decision to
take a final vote between the
quarter and early semester plans
had been agreed upon at the
January meeting.

Responding to expressions of
student discontent with the

present fall quarter, which is
interrupted by a Thanksgiving
recess just a few days before fall
term examinations, as well as to a
variety of other considerations
including possible energy
savings, the faculty had ex-
pressed a preliminary interest in
the "early quarter" plan at its
December meeting and
overwhelmingly affirmed its sup-.

port at the most recent meeting.
It was judged that plans were
already too far advanced for the
1978-79 academic session to
make the change until the
following year.

In other business considered
by the faculty, approval was
given for the Faculty Secretary to
prepare a summary of the
proceedings of the monthly

faculty meetings for Profile
publication, and two routine
committee reports were heard.
The remainder of the meeting
was given to the first steps
toward the adoption of a
uniform plan for all departments
to follow in making decisions
about appointment, reap-
pointment, promotion and
tenure of faculty members.

Security Week Activities Held

Security Emphasis Week was
held this year from January 21 -
28. The purpose of i: his week was
to present some special
programs emphasizing security
measures and to make Agnes
Scott College students aware
that the security officers are
here and ready to help students
with any problems they may
have. If the Security Officers can-
not help a student directly with a
problem, they can assist a
student in reaching a special
authority who will be able to aid
her.

Two special programs were
organized for Security Emphasis
Week: a Fire Prevention
Program. Mr. Frank Blackman,
head of the Security Office,
commented, "New fire ex-
tinguishers were placed in the
dorms, but we don't know if

people know how to use them

yet."

The Rape Clinic was cancelled
due to the icy streets and snowy
weather which hindered the
speakers from being here at
Agnes Scott for Security Em-
phasis Week. The Rape Clinic,
however, will be rescheduled to
a later date in the near future. A
movie will be shown on rape
prevention and two women as-
sociated with THOR and The
Rape Crisis Center will be
present to speak about rape
prevention and answer any ques-
tions students may have. Mr.
Blackman strongly encourages
all students to see the movie and
hear the speakers express their
ideas on rape prevention.

In addition to fire and rape
prevention, "Strangers Entering
Dorms Prevention" is a program

about which all students should
be aware and concerned. Two
incidents involving strangers
entering dorms have recently
occurred on the campus. A
strange man entered Winship
Dorm claiming he thought the
dorm was his doctor's office
building and two strange women
were found in Hopkins Dorm. To
help prevent strangers from
entering dorms, Mr. Blackman
proposed a key system similar to
that of Hopkins Dorm for the en-
tire campus. Keys would be dis-
tributed to all students and new
locks for the doors of the dorms
would be made. With this new
key system, doors would be
constantly locked. Mr. Blackman
suggested the theft that has been
occurring in some of the dorms
can be prevented by having
students always lock their doors
after they leave their rooms.

something not usually done at
Agnes Scott.

Cheryl is doing a self-
designed, but "with alot of help,"
internship. She works for Ms.
Liane Levetan, a County Com-
missioner in Distrct Two. The
work she does includes public
relations, lobbying for DeKalb
county, and handling citizen
complaints. She also works on
several special projects, such as
preparing tax information on
DeKalb county, the new CAPES
(tax assessment) program, and
beautification project for
DeKalb county. She attends all of
the meetings with Ms. Levetan.
The meetings include Com-
mission Board meetings, citizen
meetings, and state meetings.

Even though her hours are
irregular and sometimes con-
tinue until late at night, Cheryl
said, "I enjoy it immensely." She
is learning a great deal every day
and gaining much valuable,
practical information. She finds it
exciting and she is meeting new
people all the time. Cheryl said,
"You see these people on

television all the time and all of a
sudden you are talking to them
about Marta, retardation, or
even "What did you think about
Carter's State of the Union ad-
dress?' " She feels the ex-
perience and information she is
getting is vital.

The internship does not "have
a name or a number", Cheryl
said, but she would like to see
more Agnes Scott students tak-
ing the initiative and showing
interest in such programs in out-
side fields. In the future, she
hopes that internships will be
made more available to students
because there are many op-
portunities for Agnes Scott
students in any major field.

Applying the knowledge and
background from Agnes Scott in
a practical manner during the
senior year could be made easier
if there were more coordinating
efforts, perhaps someone for
that purpose, in organizing and
obtaining internships. "Nothing
is more educational than actually
seeing things," Cheryl said.

ASC Campus Stars In Movie

By now we all are aware that a
part of the movie "The Double
McGuffin" was filmed on cam-
pus. All know that it was written,
directed, and produced by Joe
Camp, well-known for his "Ben-
ji" movies; that this is his first
movie without an animal in a ma-
jor role; that it will be released in
July; and it's expected to get a
rating of PG. But what does
Agnes Scott have to do with any
of that?

It began last fall when the
Georgia Film Commission was
investigating various locations
for the movie. The Commission
is responsible for making
Georgia the second leading state
in film production (behind
California), by making it
convenient and profitable for
the film companies.

The Commission liked the
Campus very much, and showed
it to the writers and producers of

the movie. They, too, liked the
campus for its beautiful architec-
ture and small-town at-
mosphere. The movie takes
place at the Southampton
Preparatory School in Virginia,
so they were looking for a
somewhat rural setting.

The other locations chosen for
the film are Rome, Ga., Savan-
nah, Ga., and Charleston, South
Carolina. Rome will be the site of
a staged football game. The se-
quence in Charleston will be
filmed in the computer room of
the Citadel. The shooting will be
completed in Savannah with the
interior scenes, designed to
correlate with the exterior
scenes filmed here.

Another reason for choosing
Scott was because Joe Camp con-
sidered this the best cooperation
he's ever had, and for the "nice,
congenial, hospitable "at-
mosphere"." Assistant director

Tom LeFarro commented on the
"terrific people" and the "great
cooperation". Many of the crew
members expressed that Scott
was a great place to work.

And for those of you who have
wondered about the film's title, a

McGuffin is defined as: "a term
coined by the world's foremost
teller of suspense stories to label
that secret, elusive, mysterious
something that everyone in the
story is trying to find or find out
about."

Editorial Latin tempers flare

Dr. Arce

by Mari Perez/editor
Dr. Dora Arce, a Cuban educator, spoke in the Hub last week,
Wednesday, February 1. Her specified topics were "Education in
Socialist Systems" and Being a Woman in a Revolutionary Society".
Dr. Arce's talk turned out to be a great deal of propaganda which she
read from some typed pages. About 140 people attended, many of
which were Latin-American. Some were Cuban immigrants now liv-
ing in Atlanta.

The professed educator, whose husband isthe presidentof theonly
seminary in Cuba, directed the bulk of her speech to the problem of
women's liberation in the Latin society, and the role of women in a
socialist society. She claimed that Latin Maerican women have been
most oppressed, most dispossessed of their rights as humans, most
ignored and most ignorant. She went on to cite examples of "almost
bestial oppression" from the time of the Axtecs until now.

She said women's goals were to have equal obligations and equal
duties in accordance with the principlesof Socialist morals. Let me say
Dr. Arce seemed very eager to let us know she was speaking as a
Christian woman and not as a politician.

Speaking only as a "Christian," Dr. Arce gave the Castro regime a
lot of undeserved credit for its progress in women's rights. Men-
tioning the contract for marriage made legal in February of 1975 in
Cuba which equalized the parents' roles in the family, Dr. Arce tried
to tell those present that the Castro regime respects the family as a
unit. A young woman of Latin origin cited an example of personal ex-
perience involving her family in Cuba which refuted this notion.

Once the floor was open for discussion, Dr. Arce asserted that
women in Cuba did not start working or pursuing higher education
on an equal basis with men until after the revolution of 1959. She was
promptly rebuffed by the Cuban refugees present, all of whom knew
of women both in the working world and in colleges in proportions
comparable to the U.S. at that time. Dr. Arce herself earned her Ph.D.
before the revolution.

I found the content of Dr. Arce's talk totally irrelevant since it was
such propaganda that most people in the room who were familiar
with the present Cuban situation smiled ironically, myself included.

As most people know, the discussion grew so heated that a security
officer was called. Although disturbed by the emotional displayof the
Cuban refugees that day, I must sympathize with their anger at being
subjected to Dr. Arce's false representation of Cuba today.

I too am angry about the incident. A first generation American of
Cuban parents, I feel very close to the injusticeof the Cuban situation.
What angered me most was that various, supposedly educated,
members of this campus community felt what Dr. Arce had to say had
some merit and that, in fact, living conditions in Cuba today approach
the standards of comfortable socialist society. During a later dis-
cussion about Dr. Arce's talk. I was told that, in effect, most of the
Cuban refugees present had been wealthy under Batista's regime and
they were bitter about their material losses.

Apparently the myth still prevails that Cuba, prior to 1959, (and in
fact most of Latin America) consisted of two classes, the very rish and
the very poor. This was not the case; in Cuba, before the revolution,
there were rich, poor, and everything in between. Anyone who cares
to refute that can also tell me my parents, and the parents of other
Agnes Scott students, did not exist since they were neither very rich
nor very poor.

Granted, Castro made it more than difficult for wealthy people to
live as before in Cuba; but Americans aren't the only people with
Swiss bank accounts. Those legendary tycoons would not have been
so devastated by a mere change of residence. It should be noted that
not only the wealthy or professional people left Cuba. Peasants left,
fishermen left, and "comrades" still try to leave. And none of them
have lauded great freedom to express one's faith which supposedly
exists in Cuba.

Obviously, I could possibly take this entire page on the subject.
One point needs mentioning however, one leaves Cuba to travel in

FULL FACE:

Tuesday night I sat in a
Representative Council meeting
for the first time. Tuesday night
that by attending the meeting I
would understand the conflict
that exists over the drinking
policy at Agnes Scott. I thought
that by understanding the con-
flict, then there would be a way
to resolve the conflict. I was sadly
mistaken.

The only thing that I did
understand is as follows. It is
quite evident that this situation is
not going to be resolved into a
state of total agreement or into a
state of total disagreement. No
two people have the ability to
think exactly alike or an-
tithetically. Sometimes we agree
just to avoid opposition. Other
times we disagree to exhibit
ourselves as unique individuals.
We are not static. And when I see
someone arguing a point with
the greatest of passions, I can be
certain that they themselves are

Another Decision

not convincedof their argument.

So many of us are convincedof
what we want for ourselves. But
would be as quick to subject
others to these values? So we
have to resoive this by integrat-
ing ourselves into the whole. Our
point may survive, or it may
perish. If it does perish, we must
accept the loss gracefully, If we
do not accept this gracefully, we
lower ourselves.

Agnes Scott will not be des-
troyed by the retention of the
present drinking policy. Nor will
it be destroyed by the accep-
tance of a new policy. Agnes
Scott is not just policies. The
institution is heralded or
dicounted for its students reac-
tion and respect of old and ew
policies.

We may have come here with
great expectations. They may
have been grand illusions. As
long as we are here, we will not
be completely satisfied with the

situation. As long as we are here,
we will not be completely satis-
fied with the situation. But the
situation can be compared to
seeing a painting from a distance.
At first sight, we are enthralled
with its seemingly perfected
appearance.. We move closer to
the painting, and we notice
brush strokes. Again, we move
closer, and we notice minor
imperfections. Then we pressour
noses right up to the painting and
we are disgusted to find cracks
and flaws. Were our great expec-
tations grand illusions? No. They
were not illusions if we step back
from the painting to the distance
at which we first saw it. Then we
will realize that the brush
strokes, minor imperfections,
cracks, and flaws, were always
there. They were even at a dis-
tance. And we will realize that
they are part of the beauty of the
painting. And we will laugh.

MINUTES REP COUNCIL

President Kaki Manning 78,
called the meeting to order,
devotion was given, the minutes
were read and approved, and the
roll was called.

Kaki announced the death of
Mary Wallace Kirk, an active
Board of Trustees member for 61
years. We express our deepest
sympathy for the loss of a long-
standing and respected board
member.

BSA evaluations of Rep Coun-
cil were held February 1 and Rep
received a good response. BSA
felt that the board worked well
together and brought an
openness and honest air to the
campus through meetings with
the Future Life of the College
Committee and publishing of
minutes from faculty meetings in
the Profile.

Shirley Tomkievicz, former
editor of Horizon, will be visiting
our campus February 20-23. She
is in the process of writing a book
about southern women and has
agreed to talk with students who
are interested in writing and
publishing careers.

There will be a Pre-Valentine's
Party on February 13.

Nancy Perry read the results
from the questionnaires given to
the freshmen asking their views
on the present drinking policy.
She also read the results from the
total student body (classes 77-
'81). Sally Workman then read
RC 180 regarding alcohol in the
dorms. This RC will be discussed
next week.

The meeting was adjourned.

FROM A LETTER TO
STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF

A significant number of students have recently expressed
concern over this year's spring quarter scheduling on Monday,
March 27. This date would cause some students to have to
travel on Easter Sunday. The spring quarter is already a short
one, however, and all class days are needed.

After talking with Kaki Manning, SGA president, I have
worked out with Dean Gary and Dean Kirkland what I believe
to be a satisfactory solution for this year. Scheduling for the
spring quarter will be held on Friday, March 10. This is the day
the calendar notes as Reading Day, but since examinations are
self-scheduled this should not pose a serious problem. All
students will schedule their classes for spring quarter on March
10, according to an alphabetical listing to be prepared by the
Registrar. You will be notified well in advance about ap-
propriate days for changing courses for the spring quarter prior
to the schedule day.

Dormitories will open at 1;00 p.m. on Monday, March 27,
and the Dining Hall will open for dinner that evening. Classes
will begin, as scheduled, on Tuesday, March 28.

I am confident that students will cooperate with those faculty
and administrators who are responsible for the process of
scheduling so that all of us will find the revised scheduling
process to be mutually beneficial. Detailed instructions will be
sent to you at a later date.

At Alliance

The Alliance Theatre opens
the fourth play of its season Feb.
16, THE DIARY OF ANNE
FRANK, starring George Vos-
kovec. The Pulitzer Prize-win-
ning play by Frances Goodrich
and Albert Hackett is a
dramatization of the actual diary
of Anne Frank, a 13-year-old
Jewish girl, who, with her parents
and others, went into hiding in
an attic in Amsterdam, Holland,
in July, 1942. The confinement in
the attice lasted more than two
years and during this time, Anne
recorded her adolescent hopes
and frustrations in her diary. At
one point, she told her father, "I
want to be remarkable. I want to
go to Paris." Anne Frank never
went to Paris. But she was
remarkable. The Gestapo cap-
tured her and her family at the
close of the war. Her diary,
recovered by her father after the
war, has become a document of
hope and inspiration.

The Alliance Theatre has
assembled an impressive cast to
recreate the story of Anne Frank.
Starring in the role of "Mr.
Frank" is George Voskovec. He
most recently has performed in
the New York Shakespeare Fes-
tival's THE CHERRY ORCHARD
and AGAMEMNON. Atlanta
audiences may have seen him
recently on television in the role
of the clairvoyant in the movie,
"The Boston Strangler."

The role of "Anne Frank" is
being played by Atlanta dis-
covery, Lynn Garretson. Ms.
Garretson was chosen by Direc-
tor Fred Chappell from over 100

High School here in Atlanta,
where she has played "Win-

Bert Lance Visited Emory Campus

Television commentator Bert
Lance spoke in Tull Auditorium
at Emory University on January
25 at 7:30 p.m. on "Government:
Servant or Master?" As former
director of the Office of
Management and Budget
(OMB), Lance developed his
views about the nation in the
short time he was in Washington,
D.C.

Lance said, "The government
generally operates in a crisis-
type atmosphere. Often by
waiting, the problem will go
away and another come that is
not quite as critical." He men-
tioned major issues, the
economy being the most urgent.
But to solve any problem, Lance
felt the people need to work with

the government. "We need
cooperation and understanding
and the ability to communicate,'*
he said.

The problem he sees is
centered around com-
munication. "There's a growing
anger of the American people
about the government not car-
ing and not treating the
problems. The government is
trying to_ do everything for
everybody," he stated. "There's
this feeling that something's out
of kilter" with the government.
He felt people want the
government as a servant, to deal
with the problems they face.

Lance held the opinion that to
be successful with government
in the future, accountability and

responsibility must be placed on
the people. Government, he
said, has too many duplications.
There's no incentive for good
management, no well-planned
use of resources, and no re-
sponse or receptiveness in
government today.

Lance charged the mostly
college-aged audience not to
"let anything happen to keep
people in a private sector.
People from outside bring
decisiveness and leadership." He
said when people lose the ability
to make whatever sacrifices in-
volved for government service,
that government is master.

The audience then questioned
Lance. Afterwards, refreshments
were served.

Q: Would you comment on the
man now in the OMB?
LANCE: His name is Jim Mcln-
tyre and he'll serve the president
and the nation well. He'll suffer
because he's from Georgia, but
he's a hard-worker and has a
good relationship with Jimmy
Carter.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

continued from page 3
MISCELLANEOUS

The public is invited to
Fernbank Science Center's lec-
ture series, "Friday Evenings at
Fernbank." Topics for the series
are:

February 10 - 1978 - THE YEAR
OF THE HORSE - Caye Bedford,
Fernbank Science Center.

February 17 - NATURAL
TOXINS IN FOODS - Gary Stein,
Center for Disease Control

Q: You said there was a lot of red
tape and duplication in
government. What has Jimmy
Carter done about that?
LANCE: He's been articulating
the concerns of the American
people. His commitment is
there, but it's difficult to change
things quickly. His commitment
is as great as it's ever been. For
example, he recently abolished
the Commission on Sunburn. "I
think he's done a good job of
getting things set up."

Q: What are your future
political aspirations?
LANCE: I intend to help
Governor Busbee. I don't rule
out anything after that. I do need
to get my affairs in order; I was in
the throes of bankruptcy.
Q: When you got rid of some of
your concerns in the National
Bank of Georgia, money went to
an Arab concern. Don't we need
to reverse the flow of money to
come into the country?
LANCE: Our major economic
problem is energy. 'Til we do
something about that, the dollar
and the market will drop.

Q: Are you saying if we have a
stronger energy policy, the
money market will improve?
LANCE: Well, at least we'll have
taken the first step. No one
thinks we're serious about this
problem.

Q: It's interesting that your
comments follow the "White
House line" almost exactly. How
do you explain that?
LANCE: I have an obligation to
speak out about concerns in
government. In most instances, I
agree with the president. I don't
mind speaking out. I'm not es-
pousing any causes, just what's
happened to me. When I speak
for Jimmy, I want to see the
country moving along, pro-
gressing.

Q: Could you mention some of
the disagreements you've had
with Mr. Carter?
LANCE: The fact that he takes on
so many different things is a
problem because he's not able to
do them all. It's ironic that the
chief criticism is that he's trying
to do too much.

tasyland," a synchronized swim-
ming show set to lights and
music, February 16.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. and
8:45 p.m. jn the college
gymnasium. The public is invited
to the performances free of
charge. Space is limited, so

"Fantasyland" will be
performed to songs from Walt
Disney musicals such as
"Cinderella," "Lady and the
Tramp," "The Wizard of Oz,"

"Bambi," and "Snow White and

the United States unless they either pose no threat to Castro's image
or they are members of the Communist party. Dr. Arce's repeated
assertion that she came as "a Christian, not as a politician" seems
ludicrous considering Castro's present policies. The government is
legally atheistic in Cuba. If Dr. Arce came to this country to speak, she
came under the auspices of the Cuban government.

I am not an authority on the Cuban situation. I am more than
familiar with it having lived around Cubans all my life. Cubans have
cause to resent their expatriation. When asked what her definition of
"liberation" was. Dr. Arce said liberation meant to be free, but not
free as an individual. She emphasized that one was never free alone,
but as a part of society. Apparently the Cuban refugees have a

ministrations of all four Agnes
Scott presidents: Dr. Gaines, Dr.
McCain, Dr. Alston, and Dr.
Perry. According to Dr. Alston,
Miss Kirk "transcended the
years" and "gave continuity to
the board and to Agnes Scott."
President Perry liked to in-
troduce her as the "youngest
member of the board" becuase
she "always looked forward to
the future rather than backward
to the past."

Miss Kirk's progressive nature,
however, grew from her deep
love for the sense of past she so
enjoyed. A native of Alabama,
she was born in 1889, the year
that Agnes Scott was founded.
When she was four years old,
Miss Kirk moved into Locust Hill.
Built near Tuscumbia in 1823, the
large, two-story house has
belonged to Miss Kirk's family
since 1865. She lived there alone
but content for the last thirty-odd
years of her life.

In these sentences from the in-
troduction to her book Locust
Hill, Miss Kirk describes her
relation to the past and her
understanding of its function in
the present. "At Locust Hill there

has been no sweeping away of
the old nor any indiscriminate
adoption of the new, but the an-
tique and the modern meet and
mingle in happy relationship.
From continuity, one inherits a
asense of security and a foun-
dation for peace of heart that
care cannot disturb nor sorrow
take away. In the home of my
people I not only feel the
footsteps of their lives in mine,
but I can hold happily to the
value of the past that are fine and
by an adoption of the best of the
new attempt to build a more ex-
cellent present."

Miss Kirk served two terms,
1921-24, as president of the
Alumnae Association. In the
periods before her terms, the as-
sociation had only served the
alumnae of the Atlanta and
Decatur areas. She made it into a
national organization and also
led the fund-raising campaign
that brought the Alumnae
House, opened in 1922 and the
first of its kind in the south, into
being. In 1975 the Alumnae As-
sociation awarded her the Dis-
tinguished Service Award for
creative vision and sustained

service.

Miss Kirk was also active in the
Presbyterian Church where she
taught Sunday School for years
and held office in some
organizations. Dr. Alston cited
Miss Kirk's Christian com-
mitment as a great influence in
her "vision of what Agnes Scott
should be". She believed that
spiritual and intellectual growth
should mingle and balance each
other.

A charming woman, Miss Kirk
was well read and an intriguing
conversationalist. Her love of
literature and of art added much
to her life. She was herself, both a
poet and an artist. Many of her
poems were published in poetry
magazines, newspapers, and an-
thologies. A collection of her
poems called The Sum of Living
was published and won the Silver
Loving Cup Poetry from the
Alabama Poetry Society in 1937.
She also published a book of et-
chings and anectodes called
Cabins and Characters.

Locust Hill is a book f stories
about her family and home. Her
etchings were exhibited for
many years.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.-

February 17, 1978

Book Collector To Speak On Founder's Day

Noted book collector and
friend of libraries, Mr. Clifton
Waller Barrett will give the
Founder's Day Address at Agnes
Scott, Wednesday, February 22,
at 11:15 a.m. in Presser Hall. The
public is invited to Founder's
Day ceremonies free of charge.

This year's Founder's Day
honors the 89th birthday of
Agnes Scott College, a women's
liberal arts college founded in
1889. In addition, the celebration
marks the completion of the
recent renovation of the
college's library. The Agnes Scott
library will be open for tours
Wednesday from 10:00-11:00
a.m. and from 12:00-4:00 p.m.

Barrett plans to talk about the
value of rare books in a college
library and to speak on the poet
Robert Frost, whose works and
memorabilia make up a collec-
tion in the Agnes Scott library.
The Agnes Scott collection of
Frostiana is "one of the five
largest Frost collections in
America" according to Lawrence

Thompson, Frost's biographer.

As a book collector and library
sponsor, Barrett has pursued his
interest in education, especially
as it relates to literature,
throughout his life. His "guiding
star," he said, "has been Thomas
Jefferson's declaration, 'I have
sworn upon the altar of God,
eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of
man'." Barrett continued, "I
have accordingly devoted myself
to the advancement of
education and the promotion of
libraries."

As a book collector, Barrett
founded one of the world's
finest collections of American
literature with works by authors
such as Walt Whitman, Ernest
Hemingway and James Fenimore
Cooper. This collection is
housed at the University of
Virginia, Barrett's alma mater.

An author of his own right,
Barrett's books include "Henry
Adams and the Making of a His-
tory," "American Fiction, The

First Seventy-Five Years," "The
American Writer in England"
and "John Greenleaf Whittier,
Politician, Antiquarian."

He has been a Regents' Profes-
sor of American Literature at the
University of California,
Berkeley. He holds the Doctor of
Literature degree from Clark
University, Worchester, Mass.,
and the Doctor of Humanities
degree from Brown University.

He is a trustee of the New York
Public Library and of Phi Beta
Kappa Associates. He is vice
president of the Virginia His-
torical Society and past president
of several literary and learned
societies, including the
Bibliographical Society of
America and the American An-
tiquarian Society.

He has been a trustee of
numerous colleges, universities
and libraries and is currently on
the board of visitors of the
University of Virginia.

I feel that the time has come to
write an overdue, but hopefully
enlightening and objective,
report on the University of St.
Andrews, Fifeshire, Scotland. I
have been in Scotland for four
months now; I have settled
down, as much as my hyperac-
tive self will allow, to the slow,
comfortable pace of life in a
University town, in a country
which has more pubs per square
mile than it has people.

The town of St. Andrews con-
sists of three main streets which
run parellel - North Street,
Market Street, and South Street.
A medieval town of gray
stonehouses, a castle, ruins of a
cathedral built around 1040 on
the site of a monastery, once a

pagan burial ground, cob-
blestone streets with red brick
X's marking the spots where
martyrs were burned, a stone
pier leading far out into the
black-gray-blue ocean, sky
which changes every minute
from a pale washed blue to a
bleak gray swept with tumbling,
tumultous rain clouds, rolling
fields of long, green, green grass
which looks like a swiftly moving
tide when the wind blows, black-
faced sheep in a field which rises
to a low hill lined by bent, wind
swept trees - this is St. Andrews,
and in so many ways, this is
Scotland. The atmosphere is
thick with the spirits of past cen-
turies, past lives, filled to the
point of being unbearable at

times, for you feel your "iden-
tity" slipping away as the wind
tears through your body and
sweeps clean your soul; you
round a bend in the road and
find a brown stone castle, and
immense solidity now crum-
bling, (no trumpets, no fanfare as
I once expected) a rock bound
symbol of defiant pride, or
perhaps weary hardiness, which
challenges with an irresistible
force every provincial
conventionality you hold. A
terrible and beautiful country
with one of the bloodiest his-
tories in the world - I stand in
awe.

The university was built about
1400; it was the first university to
admit women and has had a line

GUEST EDITORIAL

submitted by Chrystal Watkins

I am writing primarily to question tha lack of a Black American
Studies program on this campus; to request the initiation and in-
corporation of such courses, to state the reasons that Black
American Studies courses are neded, and to suggest the damage
that lack of such courses is doing.

It is incomprehensible to me and other Black, and yes, White
students, the reason or reasons why no Black American History
course, or no Black American Literature course is offered in our
present curriculum. Can it be that the Negro heritage in America,
and the Negro contribution to our diversified culture are not as im-
portant as English History, Greek History, Shakespeare, or even
Oriental Art and Architecture? Ask yourselves is not the Black man's
role in America today and 400 years hence not significant, vital to
our present society? Would not courses in Black American
Literature and history not help raise the consciousness of Agnes
Scott's students while broadening the academic program of the
college?

Being a liberal arts institution, Agnes Scott should offer Black
Studies courses primarily in order to add to the diversity of the
"liberal arts" education.

Special efforts have been made to bring Southern writers, and
speakers in a particular fields to the campus because they had
something different and special to offer; I feel that a special effort
need to be made in the particular field of Black Studies.

Since the Black man's history is an integral part of Southern and
American history, is it not sensible to demonstrate the integral role
he has played in the south and in this nation? The 15 pages or less in-
corporated in a textbook like The American Nation: A History of the
United States or the one week given to celebrate "Blackness" is sim-
ply not adequate even to touch on this part of American culture.

The image of the Black man that has been perpetuated by the
White man in this country for 400 years has been one of subservice.
If Anges Scott is truly to be considered a modern, open-minded
institution why can she not, indeed why has she not, supported a
model other than the unskilled, uneducated Black laborer serving
in the dining hall, working on the grounds, and cleaning in the
dormitories? I am not saying that there is anything wrong with doing
jobs like these; people, Black and White, who do this kind of work
should be respected. The Agnes Scott community should know that
simply because there are few black students in attendance here
does not mean that they are the only "gifted" or intelligent Black
young women or men. The Malaysian, African, European, and
especially White American students on this campus should know
that Black American culture is equally as important as Indian,
German, japanese, and British culture to "American" history,
literature, music and art. In fact, it may be more important. If for no
other reason than the fact that Blacks are the largest minority in this
country should not Black Studies be incorporated intoour, I remind
you, "liberal arts curriculum".

FULL FACE:

by Tina Robertson
Under the heading "Purpose",
on the fifth page of the Agnes
Scott Bulletin, there are six
points that are defined. None of
these points list the objective of
cultural acclimation. The school
prides itself in academics. We
know this, the school knowsthis,
but, a majority of the outside
world does not know this. As a
matter of fact, many of us are
suffering from "Cultural
Fallout".

I did not heed the first
warnings of the Fallout that oc-
curred at Christmas time when
my mother had to remind me
that each utensil on the table had
a unique purpose. Knives are to
cut with, not to stir coffee with. I
told her what I had mastered the
art of eating dinner with just a
knife. She was even more dis-
traught when she could not
break a habit that I had
developed after eating three
meals a day with fellow students,
for nine months out of a year for
two years. No matter how many
times she assured me that no one
was going to take my food away,
she could not get me to unwrap
my left arm from around my
plate. I could not make her
understand that in order to get
my allocated portion of
nutrients, I had to protect my
plate from the roving folks of
dieters who just wanted "tastes".

This past Saturday night, the
Fallout finally occurred. I was in-
vited to go to the Ballet at the

Letters to

Dear Members of the Agnes
Scott Community,

Lecture Committee is now in
the process of selecting speakers
for next year. We are especially
interested in the suggestions of
students and faculty members.
Anyone may recommend a
speaker or performing group by
filling out the information form
available from Mrs. Woods.
Events are either sponsored by
Lecture Committee itself or
funded by the committee at the
request of a department. The
latter events are generally less
expensive. Let me point out that
the type of event sponsored or
funded by the committee is
generally more "academic" than
"entertainment" oriented;
however, we hope that the
educational value of the events
does not diminish their
entertainment potential.
Certainly performances such as
those given this year by the
Guarneri String Quartet and the
Ensemble for Early Music are
notable examples of this dual
role.

The function of Lecture Com-
mittee is to provide dis-
tinguished lectures and
performances not otherwise
available in the Atlanta area.
Although these events are open
to the public and are often con-
sidered extracurricular, I see
them as a vital part of our liberal
arts curriculum. They provide
exposure to a variety of dis-
ciplines with which our
familiarity might otherwise
lapse. In addition, many of these
events present individuals and
groups which most of us may
never have the opportunity to
hear again.

Finished?

Fox. It did not even occur to me
that my cultural seclusion had
severely modified my social
behavior. I accepted the in-
vitation without any second
thoughts. Around six that
evening, I dusted off my "Go to
town" clothes, and squeezed my
fallen arches into a pair of slightly
tight shoes. The only problem
with slightly tight shoes is that
they get tigher as the evening
progresses and there is no relief.

I put my best foot forward and
got to the Fox without any
Bohemian behavior. Except for a
slight limp, all was well. During
the first "pas de deux," I made
my first major "faux pas." The
Prima tripped and fell. I thought
that this was very amusing. It
certainly negated the formality
of the atmosphere. But, I was the
only one in the crowd that was
amused. I laughed. You would
have laughed also. It was funny.
For some reason, no one else
laughed. They simply shot looks
of horror in my direction. My
date grinned and looked in the
other direction.

By the second variation, my
feet were killing me. My toes
were in revolt and they were
bound and determined to get
out of their patent leather
prison. They did escape and one
of the prisons slipped down
under the row of seats in front of
me. Retrieving the shoe caused
quite a commotion. We should
have never sat on the third row.

The last act was the best. The

the Editor

In the past, all Lecture Com-
mittee events have been offered
free of charge. Beginning next
year, tickets will be sold for a
limited number of
performances, with reduced
rates available to students. I hope
the campus will welcome this
alternative to a reduction in the
number of events. All lectures
will continue to be free of
charge.

Again, let me urge all of you to
make your suggestions known.
Sincerely,
Sally Stamper,
Student Chairman
Lecture Committee

Dear Madame Editor:

As regards your editorial of
February tenth, I have one quib-
ble and one complaint. The
quibble: many people and
you seem to be among them
have expressed consternation
over Dr. Arce's visit and its atten-
dant furor. I disagree; the whole
occasion gave many of us a
greater insight into an important
social revolution than could be
gained from any amount of
reading. Both Dr. Arce and her
opponents were impressive and
even eloquent. They exposed
contrasting aspects of what is
surely a complex phenomenon
in any event a massive shift of
power from one center to
another. They let us see a part of
the human cost and the human
gain. Moreover, I see no reason
for deploring the charged at-
mosphere of the meeting in
which Dr. Arce spoke. Indeed, it
would have been odd if the at-

ballerina strongly resembled a
ground hog. When I told my date
this, the women in front of me
asked me to please be quiet. She
grew even more angered when I
posed the question of whether
or not the ballerina would run
behind the curtain if she saw her
own shadow. I decided that the
women in front of me must have
been the ballerina's sister,
because they looked a lot alike.

The cultural rigors grew worse
as the evening progressed. I
could barely get my shoes back
on to walk up the aisle to leave.
In the powder room, the
population of gold cigarette
lighters made my "Have a Tam-
pa" matches feel very un-
comfortable. At the restaurant, I
almost choked to death on a fatal
piece of plastic that the waiter
did not take off a piece of
cheese. (Even Letitia Pate does
not serve her American slices
wrapped in plastic.) I did recover
from my near demise and
promptly patted my forehead
dry with the edge of the
tablecloth. It looked just like the
napkin to me.

I managed to survive the
evening. My date fared much
worse. He suffered a minor con-
cusion when I hit him in the head
while trying to put my coat on.
Next year, maybe a course called
"White Gloves and Party
Manners" wouldn't be such a
bad idea. / am certainly not
finished.

mosphere were not charged.

There is, however, one quality
of your editorial that deserves
more than a quibble the ad
hominem strands that run
throughout. While the editorial
mentions some evidence to
counter Dr. Arce's claims, it also
indulges in attacks on Dr. Arce
herself. Presumably she should
not even be listened to. Finally,
vou express anger at the fact
"that various, supposedly
educated, members of this cam-
pus community felt what Dr.
Arce had to say had some merit
and that, in fact, living conditions
inCub. today approach the stan-
dards of comfortable socialist
society." (The last part of the
sentence is obscure to me; given
what we know about socialist
societies, Cuba may be as com-
fortable as any). I must confess
that I thought that what Dr. Arce
had to say had some merit, so I
must be among those who drew
your anger. But, then, are the
pro-Castroites licensed to be
angry because I also thought that
what many of the Cuban
refugees had to say had some
merit? Or should I have dis-
missed what they had to say
because they were un-
sympathetic to Castro and
likely to say the worst things
about him just as I am ap-
parently supposed to dismiss Dr.
Arce's testimony because she is
sympathetic and likely to say the
best things? If we must decide
whom to listen to on the basis of
their sympathies or on the basis
of what they associate
themselves with, we might end
up listening only to ourselves
and then not all the time.

Henry Winkler Tries Again

by Ralee Gates

The One and Only is a film
about Henry Winkler playing
Henry Winkler. Actually, the
story goes something like this:
there is a bright, young, fresh kid
named Andy Schmidt who
believes he is destined to be the
world's greatest star and goes
about proving it. There is also a
cute young thing, Kim Darby,
who tries to be "understandin'."
They meet at some nebulous
midwestern college and he woos
and embarrasses her so much-
she dumps her doctor-to-be
fiance and marries him, Andy
(Henry).

He takes her to New York, puts
her up in a shabby apartment,
gets her pregnant and continues
to go about proving that he
"really" is the world's greatest
star, contrary to the world's
belief. Finally, after trying to set-
tle down in his father-in-law's in-
surance business, he goes back
to New York and becomes

world's star-cum-wrestler
dressed in a Carole Lombard wig,
lavender tights, and a pink, fur
trimmed, lame-lined cape. Andy
and his wife are reunited and live
happily ever after.

The film was written and
directed by Carl Reiner and is
free of the usual Reineresque-
type humor. It is not very
imaginative but it is very funny
and laughing is hard to control.
Henry Winkler's second movie is
far superior to last fall's Heroes
although there are still shades of
Fonzie.

Kim Darby is too sweet for
words; she gushes and coos all
over the screen. Polly Holliday
plays Andy's mother-in-law with
middle class reserve. There are
assorted freaks and rogues which
add class to Andy's life.

The film is an amusing little
piece. There is not much
substance but it is a nice break
from the books if you can wade
through the trite.

Chamber Players Perform

The Atlanta Ghamber Players
will present an art show and a
concert of chamber music Mon-
day, February 20 at Agnes Scott
College at 8:15 p.m. in Presser
Hall. Sponsored by the Agnes
Scott College musicdepartment,
the art show and the concert are
open to the public, free of
charge.

Art work on display will in-
clude ceramic sculpture,
watercolors and woodcut prints
by Atlanta artists Linda Percy and

Gail Whatley. The show will be
displayed in the lobby of Presser
Hall.

The concert by the Atlanta
Chamber Players will feature a
14th-century composition "Ho-
quetus David" by Guillaume de
Machaut. This work has been
arranged for chamber ensemble
by British composer Harrison
Birtwhistle with a score for flute,
piccolo, E-flat clarinet, violin,
cello, bells and glockenspiel.

Movie Titles
Announced

The Decatur-Agnes Scott
College Film Series will present
to the Decatur-DeKalb com-
munity six film classics by
internationally acclaimed direc-
tors February through May.

Admission will beonly$.50 per
movie. Showtime for all films will
be 8:00 p.m. in the Dana Fine
Arts Building.

Truffaut's "Fahrenheit 451"
will be shown Saturday, Feb. 18,
and thus will continue the film
series, which began in January
with Orson Welles' "Citizen
Kane." "Fahrenheit 451," which
stars Oskar Werner and Julie
Christie, is based on Ray Brad-
bury's classic science fiction
study of a totalitarian world.
Filmed in color, it was the first
English-speaking film Truffaut
directed.

"The Confession," starring
Yves Montand and Simone
Signoret, will be shown Saturday,
March 11. Directed by Costa-
Gavras, the film is based on
Arthur Koestler's novel,
"Darkness at Noon."

In April three films will be
shown including Truffaut's "The
400 Blows" April 1, Bergman's
"The Seventh Seal" April 8 and
Bertolucci's "The Conformist"
April 22. Concluding the
Decatur-Agnes Scott Film Series
will be Kazan's "On the
Waterfront" May 27.

The special admission price of
$.50 per film is made possible by
a $1,016.00 grant from the
National Endowment for the
(Humanities through the Com-
mittee for the Humanities in
Georgia.

History of McCain Library Related

This year Founder's Day,
February 22, will mark the 89th. It
will also celebrate the
renovation of the McCain
Library. The McCain Library con-
tains an extensive collection of
the works and memorabilia of
Robert Frost.

The history of the college's
library starts in 1890, when it was
located in Main. The Carnegie
Library, in what is now the Hub,
was built in 1910 through a gift

from Andrew Carnegie. The
college had at that time ac-
cumulated 9,000 volumes, and
the Carnegie was built to hold up
to 10,000 volumes.

In 1936 the McCain Library was
constructed, at a cost of $230,000.
It was known as the Carnegie
Library, until 1951 when
President Emeritus James Ross
McCain retired, and the library
was dedicated to him. At this
time, the old library was

converted to a student center
and renamed the Murphy
Candler Building. The library's
collection of books then totaled
35,000 and the building was built
to house 120,000 volumes.

The renovation increased the
library's capacity to 186.000. The
current collection totals 150,000,
and a number of these are
located in the specialized
libraries. The biology library,
dedicated to Professor Josephine

The Dolphin Club will
entertain sophomores and
their parents at two
performances Friday,
February 17. The
performances will be in
the gym at 7:30 p.m. and
8:45 p.m.

Bridgman, and Chemistry and
Physics libraries are located in
Campbell Hall. There is also an
art library in Dana. The funds for
the renovation were derived en-
tirely from gifts designated for
this purpose, and no money was
taken from the college budget.

The library rare book collec-
tion is housed on the fifth floor.
In addition to the Robert Frost
collection, the library also has
collections on Frontier Religion,
Cone With The Wind, and
humorist Bill Arp. The Frost
collection has been acquired
over many years, with the first
books being donated by Frost
himself.

Edna Hanley Byers, librarian
from 1932 to 1969, greatly in-
fluenced Frost's interest in Agnes
Scott. He referred to her as his
"indefatigable collector."

The Frontier Religion collec-

tion was donated by Walter B.
Posey, chairman of the history
department from 1943 to 1970.
He was a specialist on the topic,
and the books were his personal
collection. A collection of Gone
With the Wind translated into
foreign languages was given to
the school by Margaret Mit-
chell's secretary. The works of
Bill Arp, a nineteenth-century
humorist, were donated by
Professor Annie May Christie,
who taught English here for 39
years.

C. W. Barrett, speaker for
Founder's Day convocation, has
a great interest in libraries and
has long been a collector of rare
books. He founded one of the
world's finest collections of
American literature, which is
housed at the University of
Virginia, his alma mater.

taurant.

The Sophomore class has put
much work into making this
weekend a success. Their new
ideas should help make the
event a memorable one.

My point is one about the life
of the mind and the right to in-

place, of all places, should
respect the life of the mind. If the
truth is not served up on a
platter, we must search for it. Part
of the search is the gaining of as
many view points as possible. A
college is a society in which no
one has this right if everyone

Dr. S. N. Postlethwait Speaks on Teaching

Science educator Dr. S.N.
Postlethwait will speak on "Ex-
cellence in College Teaching"
March 1 at Agnes Scott College
at 7:30 p.m. in Campbell Hall.
Sponsored by the Agnes Scott
biology department, the lecture

is open to the public, free of
charge.

Dr. Postlethwait is
internationally known among
educators for his educational
philosophy and his development
of the audio-tutorial teaching

method, according to Mrs.
Patricia Wikel, Agnes Scott
biology instructor. Mrs. Wikel
has worked with Dr. Postlethwait
at Purdue University, where he is
a professor of biology. She said
of his teaching approach, "Dr.

College Bowl Team Successful

The Agnes Scott College team
competed last week-end in the
9th annual College Bowl
Tournament held at Georgia
Tech. ASC placed seventh
among fourteen teams by win-
ning seven matches, losing five,
and tying one. The thirteen
matches were played in two ses-
sions, on Friday evening and
Saturday morning. The team
consisted of Judy Bartholomew,
'78, Captain. Catherine
McLauchlin, lla Burdette, '81,
Sally Stamper, 78, Susan Smith,
78, and Carol Chapman, '81.
Nancy Perry, 79 was the team
manager and Mr. Jack Nelson,
English professor, was coach.

Georgia Tech was the host for
this year's competition by virtue
of winning last year's
tournament, and Tech retained
the championship by winning the
most matches, ten; two other
teams won nine matches; three
teams won eight; ASC won 7Vi
matches. One of Tech's three
losses was to the ASC team which
played its best round against
Tech and walloped them by a
score of 300-195. Both ASC teams
to complete in this tournament,

i.e., 1976 and 1978, have
managed to beat Tech which an-
nually fields a very strong team.

ASC won matches over
Georgia Tech, Berry College,
Shorter College, Newberry
College, Brenau College,
University of South Carolina-
Coastal, and Georgia Southern
College. It lost matches to the
University of Alabama at
Huntsville, Furman University,
Mercer University, Georgia
Southwestern University, ar.d
Emory. ASC and Columbus tied.

In spite of little support from
the ASC community, the team
made a very good showing and
did a solid job of promoting the
college's reputation. Its efforts
added up to a decided plus in
public relations. The team found
supporters in two faculty
members, several parents, and
sizeable contention from
Hogansville (Ga.) High School
who came to support one of its
former team members, lla
Burdette. There were, as well,
two students from the ASC
student body who came to the
Saturday morning matches.

G-Pirg Sponsors Series

G-PIRG is sponsoring a series
of lecture-discussions on topics
concerning women. They will be
held in McKinney date parlor, at
7:30 p.m. The first discussion, on
February 22, was a report on the
International Women's Year
Conference by the Georgia
delegates. On March 1 the dis-
cussion will concern the present
legislation concerning women,
the changes being made. The
speakers will be Ms. Beth
Shaprio, aide to Rep. John
Hawkins, Ms. Dotsy Holmes,
who is involved with
"Homemaker" legislation, and
Georgia legislator Eleanor
Richardson, who will highlight
the future effects of current laws.

G-PIRG has had a bill drawn up
to change the policy that married
women must go through court
proceedings to retain their
maiden names. The bill, which is
posted on the G-PIRG bulletin
board, is waiting to be sent to the
floor of the Georgia legislature.
March 8 will have the last talk in
the series, a discussion on
women in nontraditional oc-
cupations and lifestyles. Among
the speakers will be Ms. Sally
Daniels, who has combined a
career with homemaking and is
now going into the ministry, and
Ms. Barbara Burns, who has done
a study on marriages in non-
traditional settings.

RC 1 80 Passes Rep

President Kaki Manning 78
called the meeting to order,
devotion was given, the minutes
were read and approved, and the
roll was called.

Sally Workman 78 read RC
180. The RC was amended to
read as follows (this amendment

WHEREAS):

WHEREAS: The accessibility of

alcohol on campus will allow
each student to exercise re-
sponsibility by giving the in-
dividual a freedom of choice of
whether or not to drink, and

RC180 passed with 18 in favor
and 6 against. This RC will now go
before the Administrative Com-
mittee and if it passes, to the
Board of Trustees. (See story on
page 2)

The team members have the
satisfaction of a stimulating
personal and intellectual ex-
perience. They performed well
against tough competition from
teams representing colleges and
universities that, for the most
part, participate year-round in
local, state, and regional
tournaments.

Postlethwait is very interested in
the uniqueness of each student
as an individual who leans at a
rate and in a manner different
from another individual. His
audiotutorial strategy grew out
of this philosophy."

As a teacher, Dr. Postlethwait
has received several "Best
Teacher Awards" including ones
from Sigma Delta Chi, the
Purdue student government and
Standard Oil. He has been a
National Science Foundation
Faculty Fellow at Manchester
University, England, and a
Fulbright Fellow at Macquarie
University, Australia.

He is the developer of
"minicourses in biology," and
author of the book, Plant Science
- A Workbook with an Audio-

Programmed Approach. He
edited the book Exploring
Teaching Alternatives by
Burgess. Dr. Postleth wait's
articles on education and botany
have been published by journals
such as "The American Journal of
Bota ny," "Journal of
Programmed Instruction,"
"Audio- Visual Instruction" and
"The American Biology
Teacher."

Dr. Postlethwait is a fellow and
past president of the Indiana
Academy of Science and a
member of numerous scientific
societies, among them, Sigma Xi,
Botanical Society of America and
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.

Life at St. Andrews

I live in a residence correctly
called University Hall but more
correctly referred to a "Chastity
Castle" because it is an all
women residence and because
(horrors!) the male visiting hours
are only from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00
midnight. The hours are not
strickly adhered to; as the senior
student said, "If you have a chap
in your room after 12:00, please,
just keep him there." Not even
the "wee Marys" shriek,
collapse, or faint at being caught
in their bathrobes by a member
of the opposite sex. The only
comment I ever received, after
dashing around in my track
shorts, sneakers, and nylon pa-
jama top, was a muttered "crazy
yanks". Chastity Castle has many

traditions which I strongly sup-
port such as sherry before and
port after some formal meals.
(Quite civilized actually.) And
singing the Latin grace before
formal meals - with everyone clad
in their red or black gowns is, if
not inspiring, at least amusing. All
the students used to wear black
gowns, but during the period of
student uprising and riotousness
in the 17th century, the ad-
ministration changed the color to
red in order that a student might
be more easily recognized when
entering a pub or a house of ill-
repute. The divinity students

sidered to be above such earthly
pleasure and were allowed to

RC 180: Result of much work

At its meeting on February 14,
Rep Council passed RC 180
(which permits alcoholic
beverages in the private areas of
the dorms) in a two-thirds voting
procedure with 18 in favor and 6
against. This RC will now go
before the Administrative Com-
mittee, and if it passes, to the
Board of Trustees. If. at their
meeting in the spring, the Board
of Trustees pass RC 180, it will go
into effect (probably next year)
on an experimental basis for six
months, after which the RC will
once again be reviewed and,
possibly, become a permanent
policy.

The purpose of RC 180 (other
than permitting alcoholic
beverages in the private areas of
the dorms) is best expressed in
the last three "Whereas" clauses
of the policy itself:

WHEREAS: The accessibility of
alcohol on campus will allow

each student to exercise re-
sponsibility by giving the in-
dividual a freedom of choice of
whether or not to drink, and

WHEREAS: The present policy
does not allow for such freedom
of choice, but rather fosters an
atmosphere not consistent with
the responsibility accorded the
students at Agnes Scott College,
and

WHEREAS: One purpose of
the college as stated in the Agnes
Scott College Handbook, page 7,
is to cultivate in the student a
sense of responsibility to the
society in which she lives, both
within the college communitv
and beyond."

RC 180 is the product of over a
vear's worth of a controlled
serious view and concern on the
part of Rep Council as well as the
whole student body. Last winter
quarter, the proposal for a more
lenient Drinking Policy (i.e.

permitting alcoholic beveragesin
the dorm) was first introduced as
RC 178. Although this RC was
voted down in both Rep and a
called Student Body meeting, a
significant number of students
continued to express their desire
for a more lenient policy.

Rep Council then, formed a
special committee to conduct a
thorough review of the present
drinking policy. With the help of
the Student Life Committee and
members of the Administration,
the Drinking Policy Committee
distributed a questionnaire to the
Student Body (classes 77-'81),
Faculty, and Administration.

Since the majority of those
who answered the survey ex-
pressed a desire for a more
lenient policy, the committee
researched several possibilities
for reform. The committee dis-
covered that each of the

GUEST EDITORIAL:

More about Request
for Black Studies

The following is the conclusion to the statements submitted to the
Profile of February 17, 1978. The guest editorial pointed out that
Agnes Scott, as a liberal arts institution, should offer Black Studies
courses not only for educational enrichment, but as a cultural neces-
sity in a Southern college.

submitted by Crystal Watkins
I am implying that should Black Studies Courses be incorporated
into future curriculums, Black professors should be hired to teach
them. Black professors could contribute more to these courses than
facts and fundamentals. An empathy that can only be found in the
Black man, for the Black man, or in any man for his own, can be had
by having Black instructors.

'The lack of Black Studies Courses here
is stifling the potential of Agnes Scott's

students to become well, or even

moderately, versed in a vital part
of this country's heritage/'

Not only would the students, many of whom have had no close
contact with Blacks in capacities other than domestic, benefit by hav-
ing Black professors on campus, but the faculty and administration as
well. Needless to say, we, the Black students, who by coming to Scott
are missing so much of our own rich culture, would benefit by having
Black Studies couses taught by Black professors.

We think it wise and beneficial to acknowledge the presence of
other cultures in the make-up of American society. We think it not
wise to delete the Black man's culture, or to teach, or learn from the
White man's point of view. Therefore, the need for a qualified Black
professor is felt in any department. In this respect I have had support
from the students, and from faculty members as well.

"We are desegregated, not integrated."

The role of the Black student in this community is known, but this
role is not felt, and this lack concerns me most. We are desegregated,
not integrated. We all know that there is a vast difference between
the two. Recently, a professor asked me if I thought it would be best,
for me, in the long run to transfer to a larger, more diversified
university or a smaller Black private college. I said possibly, but that I
did not wish to "give up on" Scott, I want to bring her into closer
proximity with the truth of our times. All of us do, and those that do
not want to. should, for Agnes Scott's sake.

The lack of Black Studies Courses here is stifling the potential of
Agnes Scott's students to become well, or even moderately, versed in
a vital part of this country's heritage. The lack of Black Studies
Courses is stifling the typical Scott student's potential of seeing the
world from more than one viewpoint, that of a White, southern
woman. The lack of Black Studies Courses is stifling the growth of
social consc/ousness that is found off this campus, and should be had
by anyone who wishes to be. in the future, a responsible, aware
American citizen.

In reply to Crystal Watkin's
editorial concerning the in-
clusion of a Black American
studies program in the Agnes
Scott curriculum, I would like to
address the black women at
Agnes Scott.
Dear Sisters:

So you've "won" the right to
attend a formerly all-white
college. Big deal. It is a limited
success if you are an "invisible"
student, for how can one be
visible if one's cultural heritage,
one's necessary roots are
ignored or treated in a
condescending manner (i.e.,
segregated into one special week
in February)?

Sisters, nowis the time to carry
on the struggle for true and com-
plete recognition. The war is not
yet won; do not sit back and
complacently count your laurels,
though laurels of victory they
are: Birmingham, the Poor
People's March on Washington,
school desegregation all these
events are now history. A history
which begs to be continued. Of
what worth is the blood, sweat
and tears shed by Rosa Parks, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet
Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Mary
McCloud Bethune, W.E.B.
DuBoise and so many, nameless
others who fought for liberty
of what worth is the fruit of their
labor if that fruit is allowed to
shrivel on the vine from lack of
light? Sisters, you must insist on
your heritage, insist on its im-
portance, insist in its rightful
place in the supposedly "liberal"
arts curriculum. Now that you
can sit in the front of the bus,
drive that bus! Now that you can
attend any school you desire,
teach its students, administer its
programs, enrich its curriculum
with your wonderful black
heritage.

The fight will not be easy,
Sisters; nor will it be pretty.
Liberty and justice, freedom and
dignity are seldom won with
white gloves. Never with party
manners. When you, the
students of Agnes Scott, get off
your apathy and speak up and
out for what you believe, will you
taste victory. To strike, to
demand what you feel and know
in your hearts is right, is an af-
firmation of belief in a cause. To

fight is to risk getting dirty,
sweaty, tarnished. To stand up
for what you believe in is to risk
the jeers and threats of ladies and
gentlemen in seats of power.

It is with pride, not em-
barrassment, that I remember
the student strikes of the late
60's, early 70's. I am never
ashamed or embarrassed for
having struggled for civil liberties
and an end to war. I am proud to
have enlisted in active duty and
marched in the front lines, been
shot down and rose up and
carried on. I would be ashamed
had I never carried a picket sign
but, believing in the cause, stood
idly by, watching the marchers
pass me on the sidewalk. I would
be ashamed to have never come
to the rescue of a falling marcher
and, in the process, soiled my
pretty dress but walked away and
kept my dress clean.

Roll up your sleeves, Sisters.
The indelible blood of apathy
stains the hands, the heart, the
soul for life. Fighting is messy
business, but apathy and blindly
clinging to "good taste" have
gotten you nowhere.

Therefore, search deep within
your soul and ask yourself: am I
willing to forfeit cuteness and
conformity, "proper" Southern
manners, and white, upper-mid-
dle class "respectibility" to take
up a cause in which I strongly
believe? Girls are children;
women are adults and it is adults
who, in the final analysis, go out
and conquer the world.

I would like to see all the
students of Agnes Scott reach
maturity and recognize the
rightness and seize the ripeness
of a just cause. Only then will
Agnes Scott, that 89 year grande
dame, open wide her columned
halls to admit a diversity of
women no longer assuming
that "usual college age" means
white, upper-middle class, 18
years old. fresh-out-of-high
school. Only then will Black His-
tory Week be every week; only
then will more black students
enroll, black professors teach
everything from art to zoology,
black Agnes Scott graduates
represent the Admissions
Department, black students be
featured on yearbook and
catalogue covers.

Black history, black art, black
music, black literature, black
sociology, black politics, must
join the curriculum and be
offered every year for credit.

So, my Sisters, carry on the
struggle. I am wishing you
success.

In solidarity,
Anicia Lane

An exhibition by the Washington sculptor John Safer will open at
the High Museum March 2 and will run through March 26.

Originally a constructivist whose metal sculptures were solid
geometric forms, Safer has more recently taken to working with
transparent acrylic. Employing the light-bending property of this
material he creates precisely modeled organic shapes which change
continuously as the eye moves over them.

Safer's works are in the public collections of the Baltimore

Museum of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), the

New York Cultural Center, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the San

Francisco Museum of Art, New Jersey State Museum (Trenton, N.J.),

and the Museum of Fine Arts (Caracas, Venezuela).

The largest single exhibition grant ever received by the High
Museum $57,346 has been awarded by the National Endowment
for the Humanities for an upcoming exhibition for both children and
adults. "Children in America" will explore the lives of young people
from Colonial times to the present in an exhibition featuring portraits
(both paintings and photographs) and artifacts (toys, games, books,
clothes, etc.). The exhibition will open in the Museum's Junior
Gallery in September, 1978, replacing the current City Exhibition, and
will continue for one year.

"Children in America" is being organized by guest curator
Rosamond Humm, a doctoral candidate at Emory University's
Graduate Institute of Liberal Arts, and a past chairman of both the
High Museum's Education Advisory Board and the Docent Com-
mittee.

Portraits, artifacts, and costumes will be displayed in "en-
vironments" representing at least six periods of American history
Colonial, New Republic, Frontier, Industrial, Early 20th Century, and
Contemporary. Works by such painters and photographers as Robert
Henri, George Bellows, Charles Hawthorne, William Marritt Chase,
Jerome Myers, Lewis Hine, Imogen Cunningham, Diane Arbus, and
Walker Evans (all represented in the High Museum's collection) will
be included in the exhibition, as well as toys, games, books, clothes,
furniture, and utensils from each period.

Participatory activities will be an integral part of the exhibition as is
the case with the immensely popular "City" Exhibition. Children will
be able to try on costumes. Video equipment and still cameras will be
used in the gallery when practical, to help youngsters see how they
might have looked in earlier days.

The exhibition, which is directed towards school children in the
entire metropolitan Atlanta area, as well as scholars and the general
public, will generate school tours, activities and workshops for
children and adults, lectures, symposia, publications, and media ex-
tensions.

The entire "Children in America" project is being supervised by
Ms. Paula Hancock, the Museum's Curator of Education, in as-
sociation with Emory University faculty advisors John Howett,
Charles Strickland, Delores Aldridge, and Linda Hyman.

MUSIC

The artistry of Paul Badrua-Skoda, the Viennese pianist universally
acclaimed as one of the giants of the concert hall, will be featured in
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's concerts Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, February 23, 24, and 25, at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday, February
26, at 2:30 p.m.

For his debut performances with the Atlanta Symphony, Mr.
Badura-Skoda will play Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K.
503 for which he has composed his own cadenzas.

Music director Robert Shaw returns to the Symphony Hall podium
to conduct this subscription series which also includes Barber's
Fadograph of a Yestern Scene and Brahms' Symphony No. 4 in E
minor, Op. 98.

The Symphony has designated the Sunday, February 26,
performance as Family Day. In practical terms this means that for each
pair from a single family who attends the concert, two tickets will be
given for the price of one. This is the Symphony's way of promoting
its concerts as an excellent means of family entertainment. For
reservations, phone the Box Office at 892-2414.

THEATRE

DramaTech will be presenting INHERIT THE WIND, by Jerome
Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, as its winter production on February 24
and 25, and March 4, 5, and 6 at 8:00 p.m. The DramaTech Theater is
located at the corner of Hemphill Ave. and Ferst Drive on the Georgia
Tech campus. Tickets are $2.50 for adults and $1.00 for students.
Reservations may be made by calling 894-2730.

opera, ballet, jazz, country music, and films. There will also be out-
door mini-festivals and a series of art exhibits.

ton, S.C. 29402, (803) 722-2764.

"THE LOVE OF DON PERLIM-
PIN AND BELISA IN THE
GARDEN" by Federico Garcia
Lorca will be presented by the
Agnes Scott College Theatre
Department Feb. 24 and 25 at
8:15 p.m. in the Dana Fine
Arts Building. Sharing the
playbill both nights will be the
one-acts "27 Wagons Full of
Cotton" by Tennessee
Williams and "Everyman
Today" by Walter Sorell.
Shown here, Belisa cuckolds
Don Perlimpin, her husband.

ASC One-Acts To Open Tonight

The Agnes Scott College
Theatre Department will present
three one-act plays by Tennessee
Williams, Federico Garcia' Lorca
and Walter Sorell February 24
and 25. Curtain (both dates) is at
8:15 p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts
Building. Admission is free.

The Tennessee Williams play
will be "27 Wagons Full of Cot-
ton," on which Williams based
the film "Baby Doll" and his new
play "Tiger Tail." In "27 Wagons
Full of Cotton" Flora and her
husband, Jake, and Vicarro, a
Sicilian from New Orleans,
struggle for self-fulfillment in the
rural South of the 1930's.

The other one-act plays are

Sorell's "Everyman Today" and
Garcia Lorca 's "The Love of Don
Perlimpin and Belisa in the
Garden."

"Everyman Today" is a "highly
experimental modern morality
play," according to Dr. Jack
Brooking, chairman of the Agnes
Scott theatre department. The
play deals with the eternal
struggle between Conscience
and the Devil for the soul of
Everyman who is depicted as a
modern Businessman and
Intellectual.

"The Love of Don Perlimpin
and Belisa in the Garden" is a
witty and surreal view of love and

lovers, according to the director,
Agnes Scott theatre student
Mimi Holmes 78. "This play
presents a world where people
are manipulated like puppets in
their search for love and where
puppets, through love, may be
transformed into human
beings," Holmes said.

All three plays are directed by
theatre students at Agnes Scott, a
women's liberal arts college. Cast
members are Agnes Scott
students and male actors from
the Atlanta area. "The Love of
Don Perlimpin" was translated
from the Spanish by Mimi
Holmes.

Coming Soon: A Museum of Toys

Atlanta ... What's going on at
2800 Peachtree Road, the old
Brawner Mansion? It is being
renovated to house another
Atlanta first the Toy Museum
of Atlanta. The Toy Museum will
be one of the few centers for an-
tique toys open to the public in
the United States. It will host an
international collection of toys
dating from the early 1800's to
the present. In addition to rare
antique dolls and period doll
houses, the Toy Museum of
Atlanta will feature a superb
collection of trains, boats and
planes as well as everything in the
way of games and thrills from a
Schoenhut circus to Buck Rogers
and the ever popular Star Wars!

Unlike most toy museums, the
Toy Museum of Atlanta is unique
because of its planned variety
and style. Toys will be displayed
not only in authentic period en-
vironments, but with colorful
thematic settings. It will recap-
ture for every child and adult the
thrill of discovering that new toy,
or in this case, many many toys!

The Toy Museum of Atlanta is
the creation of Mr. Joe Dale,
owner of the popular Atlanta
"Cajun House" restaurant, and
Ms. Patsy Powers. Their love for
toys and antique toy collecting

led them to explore the pos-
sibilities of opening a toy
museum. After visiting several in
this country, they become even
more excited about the
enterprise.

Powers, the museum curator,
states, "So many of the museums
we saw did nothing but show the
toys. They didn't suggest or try to
recapture the kids' world in play-
ing with them. We feel both are
important and part of the appeal
of toys."

Like visiting Atlanta's well-
known Decorators' Show House

to see the best in decor artistry,
the Toy Mseum of Atlanta will
offer the finest and best from toy
heritage. These toys can make
you wish you were a kid with
your grandmother or even great-
grandfather!

Keep watching! Soon the
capenters will be leaving and the
museum exhibits will be in place.
Spring will see some new ex-
citement for Atlanta at 2800
Peachtree Street (next door to St.
Phillips Cathedral). Projected
opening is around the first of
April. It's going to be a fun place!

Job Seminar Offered

Women are invited to a job
seminar/workshop, "How to
Hire Yourself an Employer/'
sponsored by Agnes Scott
College March 10-12. The
deadline for registering is March
3. To register, call the Career
Planning Office at 373-2571, ex-
tension 365.

The seminar is for women who
wish to enter the job market for
the first time, who wish to change
jobs or who wish to return to the
job market after an extended
time away from it. Workshop
participants will learn how to
analyze their skills to find out
what they can do and what kind
of job they want. They will learn
how to write resumes that land
jobs, how to plan and conduct
successful job campaigns, howto
interview for jobs and how to
negotiate for salaries.

Conducting the workshop will

be Mr. Richard Irish, author of
two books widely used in job
seeking. His books are Co Hire
Yourself an Employer and If
Things Don't Improve Soon, I
May Ask You to Fire Me.

Irish is vice president of
TransCentury Corporation, a
consulting firm based in
Washington, D.C. Among
organizations which have hired
him to find management ex-
ecutives are the Peace Corps, the
University of Washington, C & P
Telephone Company and
Planned Parenthood-World
Population.

The seminar will cost each
participant $30 for three days of
workshops and a one-hour in-
dividual counseling session with
Irish. Each participant will also
receive a free copy of each of
Irish's books. Lunches are not in-
cluded in this registration fee, but

these meals may be purchased in
the dining hall.

Agnes Scott College is
underwriting half of the cost of
the seminar/workshop. The
college's sponsorship is made
possible by a grant donated by an
Agnes Scott alumnae for the
purpose of helping women
return to the job market.

The seminar will begin Friday,
March 10, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00
p.m. and continue on Saturday
and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. each day. All workshop
sessions will be held in Room 210
of the Dana Fine Arts Building.
Following the seminar, each
participant will be scheduled a
one-hour personal interview
with Irish beginning Monday,
March 13. through Wednesday,
March 15.

Drinking Policy Passes Rep

continued from page 2
proposals, excluding alcoholic
beverages in the dorm, were not
feasible. The possibility of ASC's
obtaining a beer/wine and/or li-
quor license would be im-
possible since the Georgia State
Law states that no alcoholic
beverages can be sold within 100
yards of a public or private
school.

The proposal that the Hub or
Lower Dining Hall be
transformed into a 'ratskeller'
where alcoholic beverages could
be sold and consumed, was also
dropped because of threatening
financial and security problems.

The only remaining possibility for
a more lenient policy was to
suggest a policy which would
allow alcoholic beverages in the
dorms. Thus, RC 180...

Yet, Rep Council's work did
not end with the accumulation of
bare statistics upon which RC 180
is partly based. There was also a
year's worth of serious con-
sideration and discussions that
ranged from the purpose of this
RC to the purpose of Agnes Scott
College. Each Rep member also
had to work at approaching the
Drinking Policy issue in a
reasonable, unbiased fashion. As
a result, unlike the fierce,

moralistic discussions which
characterized last year's vote for
RC 178, Rep Council's work this
year was carried out in an at-
mosphere of thoroughness,
reason, and true concern.

The significance, then, of Rep
Council's passing RC 180 on
February 14, is not so much in the
fact that such an RC was finally
passed as in the fashion in which
such an issue was approached
and voted on by the members of
Rep. As it has been reflected in
Rep Council's procedures and
the Student Body's concern, RC
180 is not 'just another RC

Lynda Harris Writes

continue wearing black. To this
day you cannot walk into a pub
wearing your academic gown.

Each residence has its own
small library - a fortunate fact
since the University library closes
at twelve noon on Saturday and
does not reopen until Monday
morning. The residences also
serve meals in their own dining
halls. For those at Scott who
complain about the inevitable
green beans, all I can say is "Eat
some for me!" For dinner, we are
served two vegetable dishes, one
of which is always potatoes while
the other varies from boiled
celery to boiled onions or
turnips. And University Hall sup-
posedly serves food far superior
to that of the other residences.
Need I say more? There is hot
water, though the hot and cold
water run out of two separate
spigots, and there are no

showers, only baths. I quickly
learned not to ask for the rest-
room after a woman thought I
meant I was ill. The loo, the bog,
or the toilet are the correct
terms; American euphemisms
are only laughed at. I also dis-
covered in an emabarrassing
manner that you do not ask to
see a male's new pants since
"pants" means underwear. If
someone tells you she is knitting
a jumper for her boyfriend this
does not mean that he is
"AC/DC" but that she is knitting
him a pullover sweater. Biscuits
are American cookies, "knoc-
king you up" means coming by
to see you, and "touching
someone for a fag" means bum-
ming a cigarette. (No language
barrier?) Im finally catching on,
but I was truly stumped when the
wee porter informed me that it
was a "braw bricht moonlicht

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

March 3, 1978

Financial Aid Committee Announces Changes

During recent months, the
Financial Aid Committee has
made a number of decisions that
will affect students applying for
aid for 1978-79. The College,
however, will continue in its
commitment to attempt to meet
100% of demonstrated financial
need. The amount of financial
need represents the difference
between what Agnes Scott costs
(the student's budget) and what
the family can afford to con-
tribute (the family's resources).

One area of change will be in
the budget which the Financial
Aid Office projects for each
student. First, tuition and fees
will be increased to $3,250 to
coincide with the actual charges
at the College. Secondly, the
book budget will be increased
from $150 to $175 to reflect
higher costs. Lastly, $650 will be
the maximum travel allowance
the College allows for each
student, and a boarding student
living in the five-county

metropolitan Atlanta area will
not have a travel allowance.

Another area of change will be
the method of determining the
amount that a family is able to
contribute towards post-second-
ary education. The Financial Aid
Office will now take a certain
portion of private schooling for
siblings into account. Also, the
College Scholarship Service each
year automatically adds an in-
flation factoi so that the analysis
will reflect more realistically the

Interdorm Passes New Key Policy

family's financial situation.

Finally, the Committee has
also changed the "packaging"of
some financial aid awards.
Fresmen aid recipients in 1978-79
will be expected to have a $400
loans as part of their financial aid
award. Loan amounts for
upperclassmen, however, will
remain the same $400 for
sophomores and $600 for juniors
and seniors. Parenthetically,
most other colleges are now
offering $1,000 - $1,500 per year
in loans to their students; so the
total loan obligation of $2,000
Agnes Scott students will now

have (if they accept the loan part
of the package) is still com-
paratively low. The Committee
agreed further that deferments
on loan payments should be
given for up to four years when
an Agnes Scott graduate is study-
ing full-time in a graduate or
professional school. Interest,
however, (6%) will continue to
accrue during this period.

Students are encouraged to
direct any further questions they
have about Agnes Scott's finan-
cial aid program to the Office of
Financial Aid.

On Monday, February 20, the
Interdormitory Council voted on
the proposal for a new key
policy. The policy was accepted
with six in favor and one absten-
tion. Plans are now underway for
the system to be installed over
spring break and to go into effect
spring quarter.

The new policy has been
under consideration for over a
year. It was defeated by
Interdorm last spring, but after
further study of this policy and
other possible alternatives,
Interdorm and the ad-
ministration feel it is the most
feasible step toward strengthen-
ing present dormitory security.

Under the new policy the
dorms will be locked at all times,
except from 5:00 p.m. until 12
midnight when a hostess will be
on duty to receive guests. Then
only the lobby doors will be
unlocked, and all hostess desks

will be moved so the hostess can
see anyone who enters the
dorm. During the hours when
the dorms are locked, visitors
may call a student on the phones
which will be installed outside a
door in each of the dorms. Main
lobby will operate as it does now
with a hostess on duty from 8:30
a.m. - 12 midnight each day to ac-
comodate offices located in the
building. Each student will be is-
sued a key to her dorm to use
during the hours when the
dorms are locked.

There will be certain in-
conveniences and adjustments
accompanying this new policy,
however, Interdorm and the ad-
ministration feel it will increase
security. In Main, Winship, and
Hopkins, there have been recent
incidents of strangers male
and female found on the halls.
With the new policy only
students and authorized people

will be able to enter the dorms.

After elections, Interdorm and
Dorm Council will work with the
newly elected board to establish
policies concerning the
regulation of freshman hours fall
quarter. Several plans have been
proposed which would be effec-
tive. Interdorm and the ad-
ministration feel it is best that the
new key policy be implemented
this spring in order to orient
students to the change before
the new freshman class arrives.
Moreover, the board sees an
immediate need for the new
policy in light of recent security
problems on campus.

Further discussion of the
policy and involved details will
take place at upcoming dorm
meetings and at a campus-wide
convocation March 8. Students
are urged to talk with Interdorm
members regarding any ques-
tions about the policy.

Barclay Elected SACUBA President

Mrs. Hutcheson Resigns

It is with sincere regret that
I have accepted the
resignation of Mrs. Ann
Rivers Hutcheson as Director
of Admissions at Agnes Scott
College, effective June 30,
1978. Her growing obligations
to her family at a critical time
have dictated her decision.

As I am sure you will agree,
Ann Rivers Hutcheson has
rendered outstanding service
to Agnes Scott as Director of
Admissions. She has
developed and trained a most
capable staff which, under
her leadership, has carried
out an energetic and inten-
sive admissions program in
unusually difficult times for all
private colleges. Agnes Scott
is greatly in her debt.

I am pleased to announce
the appointment of Judith
Maguire Tindel, Assistant
Director of Admissions, to the
position of Director of Ad-
missions, effective July 1,
1978. We are fortunate indeed

to have on our admissions
staff a person of outstanding
capabilities and experience to
succeed Ann Rivers Hutch-
eson. Judy Tindel joined
the admissions staff in 1973,
following her graduation
from Agnes Scott College.
She was appointed Assistant
Director of Admissions in
1976. For more than four
years, I have observed Judy
Tindel's excellent per-
formance as an admissions
officer. Her exceptional
personal qualities and
devotion to Agnes Scott are
enhanced by unusual energy
and organizing ability. I am
sure she will prove to be a
worthy successor to Ann
Rivers Hutcheson, and I look
forward to working with her
and her staff in the demand-
ing admissions years which lie
lie ahead.

From a letter from
President Perrty to members
of the Agnes Scott Faculty and
Staff.

Agnes Scott College's Lee A
Barclay, vice president for
business affairs, was elected
president of the Southern As-
sociation of College & University
Busines Officers (SACUBA).

The 15-state association
elected Barclay for the 1978-79
term at its annual meeting this
February in Louisville, Kentucky.
Barclay had served SACUBA dur-
ing 1977-78 as first vice president
for programs.

"Major issues facing college
and university business officers
this year," Barclay said, "are
energy, financial aid for
students, employee retirement
plans and modification of
facilities to accomodate the
handicapped."

Barclay came to Agnes Scott in
August, 1977. Previously, he had

been treasurer and business Montevallo in Alabama for 26
manager at the University of years.

Leading Philosopher Visits Here

Ms. Gertrude Anscombe, one
of the foremost women
philosophers, will speak at Agnes
Scott on March 31 , at 8:15 p.m. in
the Dana Fine Arts Building. The
tentative topic of her lecture is
the question of what constitutes
a right.

Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret
Anscombe was born in 1919, the
daughter of Allen Wells
Anscombe and Gertrude
Elizabeth Anscombe. She
attended Sydenham High School
and then received a scholarship
from St. Hugh's College at Ox-
ford. Later she attended
Newnham College, Cambridge.

She received 2nd class Honors
Moderations at Oxford in 1939
and 1st class Greats in 1941. She
was granted resea rch
studentships at Oxford and Cam-
bridge, 1 941 -1944. Ms.
Anscombe received a research
fellowship from Somerville
College, Oxford, 1946-64, and
became a Fellow there 1964-1970
and an Honorary Fellow, 1970. At
St. Hugh's College, she became
an Honorary Fellow in 1972.

Anscombe's publications in-
clude: Intention (1957), An In-
troduction to Wittgenstein's
Tractatus (1959), Three

Philosophers (1961), with Peter
Thomas Geach, her husband
since 1941, as co-author; and
New Essays on Plato and Aris-
totle, ed. Renford Bumbrough
(1965). She is the translator and

Editorial
Swan Song

May I See Your I.D.?

by Mari Perez

Student Apathy; the catch-all for the malaise of today's college
students. The energy devoted to individual advancement such as the
maniacal preoccupation with the omniscient GPA indicates that
students aren't disinterested - they simply can't afford the time. The
American Dream becomes the American Expectation in the Space
Age.

Strangely oblivious to the impending threat of nuclear weaponry,
we buzz about in our own little worlds, driving our own little cars to
our own little destinations.

In a vertitable 'fall out' after the social upheavals of the sixties, it
seems difficult to identify with the screaming picket-carrying radical
taking a stand in the mushrooming violence of a decade ago.

And they went to California to "find themselves" in an age when
Science apparently had found everything else. The medieval
barber/surgeon probed human brains in search of a soul. His world
of mysteries and unexplained phenomena could only guarantee the
security of his religious faith. A man of the "Dark Ages" knew at least
that harmony in the heavens prevailed and on each glowing planet
rested an angel.

Modern man turned to his own psyche. Science commenced a
study with pathological fury collecting and categorizing every
psychological scrap available. We can all be neatly filed away by a
variety of methods: handwriting analysis, dream analysis, biorhthms,
body language, sex clinics.

Ours is the age of everyman for himself. The proverbial rat race
turned real as drives of sweaty narcisistic bodies trot faithfully along
the designated track.

The drive for individuality of the sixties hasturned to the search for
identity of the seventies. Preoccupation, especially on the college
level, with one's chosen field of study or work dominates our
conversations. The typical fraternity - mixer line of questioning skips
over the "who" and moves on to the "what" - What are you going to
do? ... be a DOCTOR, a LAWYER, an INDIAN CHIEE? (I couldn't
resist.)

In this age of few heroes and less inspirations; a time where heaven
is a myth peculiar to those who believe that sort of thing or the "final
frontier" left to explore - it seems the "Harmonious Heavens" have
given way to "Star Wars."

As far as the academics here
go, and in my opinion it's a
matter of centimeters, the
differences between the British
University system and Scott are
astounding. The professors in
general put little or no emphasis
on creativity and originality - two
aspects of thought which they
consider to be peculiarly
American. (Emphasis on
"peculiarity".) 'I'm afraid I serve
their token emotional American
when I start on one of my
Chaucer (pr Milton raves, for
Chaucer.) According to one
professor, "simply did not have
that much to say." My outlook is
a prejudiced one since the
English deparment is definitely
not one of St. Andrews bes* am
doing Junior Honors Engli^/n and
Second Arts Medieval History
this year. Most students do only
the Junior Honors course - the
degree in a British University is
extremely specialized. Before
you enter university, you choose
either the Arts or Science faculty
(you can't take courses in both),

and by your third year, you are
reading only one subject. The
University offers no studeo art,
no theatre or music courses, no
creative writing - all of which, I
suppose, is a result of their view
of creativity. Most of the profes-
sors even assign topics for the
papers, topics which I have
obstinatley refused to discuss
(with typical American
arrogance I'm afraid) so that now
I'm allowed to develop my own
theme despite the incredulity of
other students. The English
professors first term assigned im-
possible reading lists (eight
novels a week) which obviously
no one was expected to com-
plete. The result of these
ludicrous reading lists was that
the more industrious students
chose two or three novels, read
them, went to class, found that
no one had read the same two,
and so were treated to a lecture
consisting of a plot summary.
There are some redeeming
features such as tutorials with
only four or five students where

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

I am writing in response to
Anicia Lane's fanatical appeal to
the Black students of ASC to
"carry on the struggle for true
and complete recognition." Miss
Lane seems to have a distorted
perspective on the issue at hand
and to have blown a few feasible
complaints waged by Crystal
Watkins into an all important
racial battle between the handful
of Blacks on campus and the rest
of us "White, upper-middle clss,
18 year-olds, fresh-out-of-high-
school," southern women.
Certainly, it would be ad-
vantageous to this school's
curriculum to offer a course in
Black History or Black Literature.
However, the extensive program
described by Miss Lane is not,
and will not be, a likely pos-
sibility in a school of Agnes
Scott's size.

I fail to see what Miss Lane's
pathetic spiels about soiling her
dress in pursuit of civil rights and
driving the bus have to do with
providing adequate courses in
order to insure liberal education.
Miss Lane presented such an
emotionally narrow-minded
view on the subject that I fear she
may have turned the entire issue
into an animated version of
"Gone With the Wind." I wasex-
tremely surprised to read that
she had not recommended Black
History as a required course.

Black History has played an im-
portant role in our society. We
need to be exposed to its merits
and to benefit from the Black
culture. What we do not need is
another "sho' nuff, down rat
hateful" letter on this subject.
Very sincerely yours,
(Miss) Melanie Merrifield

Basketball

Foul Turnout

There aren't many games
left, but it would help the
dedicated few if some of us
got out to the gym and
cheered on the intramural
basketball players.

There is a team for every
class, so we all have someone
to fot for. The program this
year involves about twenty-
five students, with Jennifer
Williams '80 in charge and Ms.
Ann McConnell, P.E. instruc-
tor, supervising.

The players practice on
Mondays and Wednesdays
from 4:00-6:00 p.m.. with
5:00-6:00 p.m. set aside for
special emphasis on plays, etc.
The games are every Tuesday
and sometimes on Thursday.
Each team plays the other
teams twice. The games start
at 6:30 p.m. with two games a
night and there are only a few
chances left to see the action
with a special game on Mon-
day. March 6. In that

game, the all-star team,
chosen by all of the players,
will play a team from Brenau.
The all-star team will also play
the faculty, if the faculty can
get a team together!

More participation in all of
the intramural sports is
needed. The time involved in
practice and play is not too
much, neither is it necessary
to be a professional player.
Time-keepers, score-keepers,
and people to officiate are
also needed and welcome.
So, try out for some of them or
at least come and cheer your
class mates on.

The students already in-
volved in the program really
enjoy it. It is fun, great ex-
ercise, and a good way to
learn about sports and
teamwork as well as meet new
people. Try it. It's too late for
basketball this yeat, but there
is always Softball spring
quarter!

you have the opportunity for dis-
cussion. If I sound "down" on
the system, well, I am. I am even
more acutely aware now of that
worn cliche' about the valueof a
liberal arts education and the
opportunity it offers not only for
a well balanced field of
knowledge but for discovering
an awareness, a creative self ex-
pression, and a way of life. But I
do enjoy the freedom that comes
with having time to spend
researching, reading, and writ-
ing about things that interest me,
time which I don't have or
manage to find when I'm at
Scott.

The pace of life truly is slower
here than at home. The wind was
gusting and screaming when you
entered the pub; it will still be
whipping through the lances
and closes when you leave, so
why hurry? Someone will buy
you another drink, perhaps even
invite you out to their farm for a
respite from "city life.' The
shopkeepers will discuss the
weather and send you to another
store for an item they don't have
- not to a competitor, for they
send you to a friend who has to
make a living just like anyone
else. And if one clear afternoon
you hear the Hebrudes calling
and see in your mind the mist
rolling in from the sea, covering
the heather at the foot of a
green, then gray, then snow
topped moutain, if the painful
need to be alone wells up inside
of you, well, you start walking.
Someone will give you a ride un-
til you find the place, the old
stone cottage warmed only by a
fire and the simple, unques-
tioning acceptance of the farmer
or shepherd who lives there. As a
friend said to me when I left for
my first trip to the isle of Skye,
"you travel to a blessed place, on
wings ... On Skye the gods do not
walk, they dance." Truly a place
to go home to, a place where my
memories, and a wee bit of my
soul, remain.

perform March 6 at Agnes Scott
College at 8:15 p.m. in Presser
Hall. Sponsored by the Agnes
Scott Music Department, the
concert is open to the public,

sisting him will be pianist Paula
Peace.

Both Brown and Peace are
members of the Atlanta
Chamber Players, which are in
residence at Agnes Scott
College. Brown also performs in
the Atlanta Lyric Opera Com-
pany Orchestra.

His technique and musician-
ship have been praised by
Atlanta critics. In a review of a
performance by the Atlanta
Chamber Players, John
Schneider of the Atlanta Journal
wrote, "Clarinetist Brown played
expertly, with fine dynamic
shading and musical sensitivity."

Atlanta Gazette critic Danny
King has said of Brown's playing,
"Mr. Brown played with an un-
common care for dynamics and a
rare, round clarinet sound that
was a joy to listen to."

A native of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
Brown earned his bachleor's of
music at Houghton College,
New York, and his master's of
music at the State University of
New York at Stony Brook. In
graduate school he was an active
performer of traditional
chamber music and avant-garde
ensemble works.

SGA President

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

March 28, 1978

Honor Court Chairman

WHAT ARE YOUR
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS
POSITION?

Melanie Best: Serving as SGA
Treasurer has been valuable
preparation for the presidency.
For several reasons I feel I could
confidently step into this job.
Through the year I have had to
stay in close contact with all SGA
organizations, this way coming
to understand the system's com-
plexities. I have been glad to act
as an officer because we,
probably more than anyone, see
all that the President's job in-
volves.

Undertaking these duties re-
quires an ability to organize,
something I'd like to think isone
of my strong points. Keeping
lines of communication clear
between students, faculty
members, and administrators is
so important for bolstering our
sense of community, and this is
something I would greatly enjoy
doing.

Tish DuPont: My service as a
Rep member began last spring
quarter when I was elected 1 of 4
junior representatives and has
continued through this year. It
has been a particularly eventful
year and I feel that the delicate
matters brought before Rep this
year have taught me a great deal
about group processes, objec-
tivity, and the importance of
respecting others opinions. I
have served on the Drinking
Policy Committee,
Constitutional Revision Com-
mittee and as Handbook Editor.
The latter was especially
beneficial to me because I
learned alot about how the
school functions and because
the experience has brought me
into close contact with the in-
dividuals who enable this school
to run smoothly, an opportunity
I consider invaluable. I wasalsoa
member of G-Pirg my freshman
and sophomore years which
showed me how out students
can be of service beyond Agnes
Scott as well as on the campus.

More than anything else, I put
great stock in the fact that I have
come to know so many of the
students especially this year and
last. I feel that I am aware of and
share many of their concerns and
could work with any student,
elected to Rep or otherwise, in a
positive and productive manner.

Nancy Perry: In the two and a
half years I've been here at
Agnes Scott, I have held
positions of responsibility which,
I think, qualify me for the
position of SGA President. As a
Junior Rep member, I have been
directly involved with the
processes of Student
Government. I was also one of
the four ASC representatives for
the Southeastern Women's
College Council of Student
Government held at Salem

College. In comparing and con-
trasting ASC with the other
similar colleges which attended
this council, I became aware of
the strengths and weaknesses of
Agnes Scott. In addition, I was
Chairman of the Drinking Policy
Committee, a member of the
Student Life Committee, and a
member of Dorm Council.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR
SYSTEM OF STUDENT
GOVERNMENT? WOULD YOU
WORK FOR ANY CHANGES IN
THE PRESENT SYSTEM? IF SO,
WHAT?

Melanie Best: For a school of
our size I find the formal struc-
ture of our student government
adequate to cope with even the
most complicated problems.
Effectiveness, though, depends
on how well we exert the
energies of our boards and com-
mittees, on where we direct our
voices of protest or of
recommendation. Regarding
school policy, expressing an
opinion that will be heard or
initiating a change that will be
carried out requires knowledge
not only of SGA's structure but of
faculty and administrative com-
mittees as well, which means
knowledge of where decisions
are made. I would like students,
especially Rep Council
members, to have better ac-
quaintance with decision-mak-
ing channels. Nothing need
prevent us from injecting
thoughtful inputs dealing with
curriculum, social rules,
whatever, into these channels.

T.D.: Actually, I like our system
of government and feel com-
fortable working under it. Last
fall at a Conference of
Southeastern womens' college
student governments we ex-
amined many different types of
governments and considered of-
fices, powers, voting procedures
and governing bodies. It was
generally agreed by all that
Agnes Scott had the best work-
ing system. I find it efficient, not
overly confusing and suitable to
our small, open campus.
Although sometimes changes
are effected rather slowly I con-
sider this the lesser of two evils
when fairness, careful con-
sideration and involvement of
interested students are so much
a part of our decision-making
process.

We have added this year a
process for impeachment of of-
ficers which I feel has its place in
the constitution of any
democratic organization
(although I hope its im-
plementation will remain
unnecessary). Any changes I
foresee will be small ones but
significant none-the-less. I

would like to see a more strict
observance of parliamentary
procedure during the meetings
not for restrictive purposes but
rather because I have seen how
much more fairly and smoothly
things run. I would definitely
work for outlining and clarifying
the duties and potential powers
of the student government com-
mittees thereby making them
more accessible to the students
and more efficient. I would, of
course, be willing to examine
any other changes that might be
suggested as improvements on
our existing system.

N.P.: Our system of student
government, I think, has so
much.potential; every student at
ASC has the right and the res-
ponsibility to shape the policies
and regulations of the college. In
addition, there are so many op-
portunities for each student to
exercise this freedom and* to
voice her opinions. Yet, the
students do not seem to realize
their potentiality or, if they do,
they fail to take advantage of the
various opportunities to voice
their opinions and shape college
policies. The reasons for this
failure are, I believe, because 1)
the students feel that, no matter
what they say, they won't be
heard, anyway, 2) there is a lack
of awareness of what is going on
around campus, and 3) the
students aren't quite sure of
what channels to go through. I
feel that the best solution to this
dormant attitude on campus is a
more organized policy of
interaction between the
students and the faculty/ad-
ministration, between the
students and the Board of
Trustees, and, finally, between
the students themselves. This
could be accomplished by 1)
more frequent informal con-
vocations with Dr. Perry, 2) a
special student / faculty com-
mittee and/or or a student /
faculty lounge where opinions
can be freely voiced in an in-
formal atmosphere, 3) setting up
occassional meetings between
Rep Council and the various
faculty committees so that both
the students and the faculty may
become aware of each other's
activities, 4) an organized meet-
ing between the Board of
Trustees and student represen-
tatives, 5) organizing special hall
meetings between the dorm
Reps and the students so that the
dorm Reps can inform the
students of the activities in Rep
and, likewise, the students can
share their special gripes with
the dorm Reps (who will relay
them to Rep Council). With all or
some of these proposals put into
action, I feel that our present
system of Student Government
will be revitalized.

IF ELECTED, HOW DO YOU
PLAN TO MAINTAIN AND/OR
INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS
OF THE HONOR SYSTEM?

Sandy Fowler: Our Honor
System is a very effective system,
yet in its effectiveness, it is also a
very fragile thing which requires
the support and respect of all
members of the campus com-
munity for its maintenance. The
Chairman of Honor Court does
not and cannot maintain the
Honor System, nor can she in-
crease its effectiveness. What she
can do, however, is uphold and
respect the Honor System
herself, and, in so doing, trust in
the integrity of the members of
the campus community and ex-
pect them to do the same, for
herein lies the effectiveness of
our Honor System.

It is important that the
Chairman of Honor Court ad-
minister her board and its ac-
tivities efficiently. But even more
importantly, the Chairman of
Honor Court must make real an
ideal and lead others to do the
same: it is as important for herto
be something as it is for her to do
something.

While it is easiest to speak of
the effectiveness of the Honor
System in abstract philosophical
terms, the true test of the
System's effectiveness is
evidenced by those who must
make tangible the philosophical
abstractions. The task of putting
the philosophy into practice
belongs to each of us, though the
Chairman must play a special
role in this process for she must
see most clearly the abstractions
and must work hardest to define
them by the way she deals with
the System: she must respect
herself, the other members of
the campus community, and the
system she upholds; she must be
responsible for herself and for
insuring the integrity of the
Honor System, and most im-
portantly, as a leader, she must
instill in others this same sense of
respect and responsibility both
for self and for community.

If the effectiveness of the
Honor System is to be main-
tained the leader must be effec-
tive in relating to individuals in
order that they see clearly in her
the system for which she stands
and are obliged to do the same.

Sarah Windham: I feel that
positive strides could be made in
a few acreas to increase the
effectiveness of the Honor
System. Very few students enter-
ing Agnes Scott are fortunate
enough to have had working
honor codes in their high
schools. I think that the board
could to be used very effectively
during the year to communicate
with prospective students about
the Honor System. This simple
act of correspondence could do
two things: first, it could serve to

attract students who are
interested in living under such a
system, and second, it could
prepare those who plan to enter
here in the fall for the type of
behavior that is expected of
them.

In addition, I feel that it is time
for the faculty and students to re-
assess the roles they play in
upholding the Honor System, for
its effectiveness does not
depend exclusively on the work
of the Honor Court Chairman.
Our Honor System is working
now only because the faculty
and students value it enough to
strive to maintain it.

DO YOU FEEL THAT THE
PRIVILEGES PROTECTED BY THE
HONOR SYSTEM ARE BEING
THREATENED (i.e. self-
scheduled exams, take-home
tests...)? IF SO, HOW CAN WE
PROTECT THESE PRIVILEGES?

Sandy Fowler: We
upperclassmen have been here
long enough to have had the
Honor System grow into a part of
our blood and bones and have
come to treat it as an integral part
of ourselves. We must seethatall
who come here acquire this
same sense of self. If the Honor
System is to be threatened it is
here that the blow is most lethal.

One new to the Agnes Scott
Honor System cannot know
upon arrival how important
respect for the System is. If she
does not learn, our Honor
System is threatened. I feel that
we can most effectively insure
the privileges bestowed upon us
by showing those who are not so
well acquainted with these
privileges how well they work
and how much more pleasant
they make life in a pressured
academic environment. This re-
quires that we all, especially the
members of Honor Court and its
Chairman, make contact with
those who are new here and
show them our respect for the
Honor System. It won't require
that we do anything special - as
long as the Honor System is such
a part of what we do that others
can't help but notice. Thus,
everyone must do her part to
prevent the Honor System from
being threatened. As a leader,
however, l he Chairman of
Honor Court must instigate and
carry out this process strongly
and without fail. She must com-
mand a respect both for herself
and for the system for which she
stands.

The Chairman of Honor Court
must nurture the respect the
upperclassmen have for the
system as well. For if one thread
of its fabric ravels, others follow
in geometric progression. The
best wpy she can prevent this

The Profile

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. 30030

THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college
year by students of Agnes Scott College. The views ex-
pressed in the editorial section are those of the author and
do not necessarily represent the views of the student body,
faculty or administration.

editor / Mari Perez
news editor / Sharon Maitland
arts/entertainment editor / Ross Cheney
copy editor / Barbara Mandel
cartoonist / Marty Lovvorn
business manager / Diane Beaudoin
circulation manager / Kelly Murphy

Since many students expressed concern over the fact that an elec-
tion issue would not be published this year, the PROFILE editorial
board and various students put out an extra effort to organize this is-
sue. Because this decision was made at the last minute, and the
newspaper had to be collected during exam week - some can-
didates were unable to respond to the PROFILE questions. We
apologize to those candidates who could not be represented in this
issue and we would like to extend a special thanks to those students
and staff members who made this issue possible.

SGA Vice-President

WHAT CHANGES IN SCHOOL
POLICY WOULD YOU LIKE TO
SEE DURING YOUR TERM IN
OFFICE?

Mari Perez: As SGA Vice
President, I have no plans to
revolutionize school policy; but
I would like to see more interac-
tion between the faculty, ad-
ministration and the student
body on an official basis -
specifically, I would like to see
the Committee on Academic
Problems revived and become a
vital organization on campus.

WHAT CAMPUS PROBLEMS
WOULD YOU LIKE REP COUN-
CIL TO DEAL WITH?

M.P.: Of course I cannot an-
ticipate the problems Rep will
face in the coming year, yet one
overall problem I believe exists
at ASC is the fact that students
here often do not assert
themselves when they want to
see something changed. Recen-
tly Rep Council has been very
effei tive in altering school policy
to meet the students' demands. I
want to see Rep Council's con-
tinue to be as flexible as possible
in meeting further demands.

WHAT ARE YOUR
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS
POSITION?

M.P.: Having served a year as
Editor of the PROFILE, I have
learned about delegating
authority effectively and the im-
portance of keeping up good
communications with fellow
staff members. I am also willing
to devote the time and energy
necessary to serve as Vice
President. Since attitude is as im-
portant as any qualification for
office. I am sure that many
people will agree that Agnes
Scott College has the potential to
be much more than it is
academically as well as socially. I
hope Rep Council can be in-
fluential in changing this by
creating a dynamic atmosphere
on campus.

SGA Secretary

Lisa M. DeCrandi

Being Secretary of SGA does
not just mean getting to the Rep
Meetings on Tuesday nights.

posting the Rep minutes on the
official bulletin board or chang-
ing the sign on my door to read
"Lisa M. DeGrandi - Secretary."
This position involves the type of
person who can be open-
minded in making decisions, one
who is willing to listen to com-
plaints or suggestions, and one
who is willing to represent the
student body and Agnes Scott
College anywhere outside of the
city limits. With regards to my
past experiences that would
qualify me for this position, I
have served as Secretary of the
Sophomore Class this year and
my Freshman year I was
Freshman Chairman of Junior
Jaunt. I have also served on
Orientation Council on the Book
Committee. In these positions, I
have worked either organizing
committees or serving on a com-
mittee. Also I have played on the
tennis team here and have
realized the valuable importance
for each individual player to
work with each other in forming
a successful team. This essentially
is how SGA works. All of the of-
ficers and committee heads work
together as a team to get things
done. Therefore, I feel confident
that I can fulfill this position to
the best of my ability and like
most secretaries, I promise to
post the minutes after every
meeting. Thank-You!

Susie Ham

I am running for SGA Secretary
because I want to serve more ac-
tively on the Representative
Council, and the office of
Secretary involves the duties that
I enjoy most and feel I perform
most proficiently.

Before entering college, I was
both member and officer in
student government since junior
high school. This past year, I have
served on the Sophomore Ad-
visory Council and am a copy
writer on the Silhouette staff. I
am also a Sophomore Represen-
tative Member of SGA, as well as
editor of the 78-79 ASC Student
Handbook.

My concept of SGA's purpose
at Scott is that this association,
composed of all students, should
strive to support and improve
the school in every way possible.
Representative Council should
be exactly what its name implies -
a representation of the student

body's opinions that will act as a
liaison between administration
and faculty. In dealing with all is-
sues that come before Rep, I
believe that one should respect
the tradition of Scott, and at the
same time, realize its potential by
not shying from innovation. As
Secretary of Rep, I will execute
all of that office's duties to the
best of my knowledge, so that
the purpose of SGA can more
easily be fulfilled.

SGA Treasurer

Kemper Hatfield

Before deciding to run for SGA
treasurer, I found out exactly
what the duties of the office are
The SGA treasurer acts as the
treasurer of Rep Council. She is
also responsible for allotting
money to Honor Court,
Interdorm, BSA, Orientation
Council, Silhouette, and The
Profile, among other campus
organizations. These
organizations present a
proposed budget to the SGA
treasurer in the spring. The
treasurer divides the money
from the Student Activities Fees
among the campus
organizations, trying to provide
each organization with the
money it needs for the coming
school year.

I am running for SGA treasurer
because I enjoy working with
budgets and money, and
because I would like to work
with Rep Council. At Agnes
Scott, I have served as treasurer
of my class for two years. Last
summer I worked at a bank,
which provided me with
valuable experience in learning
how businesses handle money.
In high school I served as
treasurer of the student body, as
business manager of the annual,
and as treasurer of various other
organizations. My experience
has not only taught me how to be
efficient as a treasurer, but it has
also made me realize how much I
enjoy dealing with business
situations. I am a math major,
and I would like to make my
career in some area of business
or accounting. I would consider
it a privilege and very much a
pleasure to serve as treasurer of
SGA.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE
SGA TREASURER?

Kelly Murphy: I would like to
serve the student body and I feel
I could best do this as an officer
of the Student Government As-
sociation. The office of treasurer
has always held my interest and I
would like to work on helping to
solve the current fnancial
problem facing SGA.

WHAT ARE THE SGA
TREASURERS' DUTIES AS YOU
UNDERSTAND THEM?

First, I realize the res-
ponsibility of the SGA treasurer
to prepare with the Budget Com-
mittee the student budget and to
work with all other treasurers on
campus that receive funds from
SGA. I also realize the res-
ponsibility of the treasurer of
SGA as the treasurer of Rep
Council, conducting all its finan-
cial matters.

WHAT EXPERIENCE HAVE YOU
HAD WHICH WOULD BE
HELPFUL IN THIS OFFICE?

I have served as a member of
Rep Council for the past year. In

the past I have served as the
t reasu rer of \ a r ious
organizations outside of Agnes
Scott. I fully realize the current
financial problem of SGA and
have participated in the dis-
cussions of the future steps
necessary for SGA to operate in
the black. Before coming to
Agnes Scott I took several math
courses including one in ac-
counting and banking. At Agnes
Scott I am a math major with a
great interest in its practical ap-
plication.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
THE PRESENT TREASURY
SYSTEM? WOULD YOU LIKE TO
SEE ANY CHANGES?

I believe the present system is
operating quite smoothly. I
agree with the decision to place
the responsibility of DoJphin
Club, Dance Group and Glee
Club under their respective
departments. This will be a great
relief to the budget. I realize the
necessity of this year's budget
cut of several organizations from
previous years. I would like to
review the current budget and
look into the organizations that
absorb the majority of SGA's
funds so that SGA is not faced
with such a deficit in future
years.

BSA Chairman

HOW DO YOU DEFINE THE
ROLE OF BSA AS IT NOW
EXISTS?

Holly McFerrin: BSA is evolv-
ing into a board whose goal is to
work together with all the boards
of the Agnes Scott campus, in an
attempt to make each board
more aware of its potential. BSA
hopes to update the roles of each
board as it recognizes the chang-
ing college community. Through
evaluations during winter
quarter of this year, BSA dis-
covered that many boards were
unsure of their roles and
abilities. Some seemed to have
fallen into a traditional pattern,
and thus were unaware of the
rights and liberties which they
possessed. BSA is finally begin-
ning to play the vital role of
coordinator and evaluator of all
campus activities. This is a role
most needed on campus. BSA
has long existed at Agnes Scott
without realizing its own poten-
tial.

Lisa Worthey: In the past, BSA
had coordinated the activities of
campus organizations and spon-
sored parties and other activities.
This year has been a transitional
one for the board. BSA has been
streamlined so that it more
closely functions as originally
intended. Now acting as a liaison
between campus groups, BSA
serves four purposes. It reviews
and approves planned student
activities and events - before
they are put on the calendar by
the Dean of Students Office - to
ensure a balanced schedule of
activities for each quarter. Ad-
ditionally, BSA is responsible for
reviewing alcholic beverage re-
quests and delegating the use of
the Hub for club activities. Dur-
ing winter quarter, the board
evaluates each campus group by
an initial questionnaire and then
meetings with representatives of
the different groups. Evaluations
are based on the activities a
group planned, its planning

abilities, its organization, and its
effectiveness in transferring
duties and preparing new of-
ficers. BSA follows up on these
meetings by sending out letters
stating their assessments and
suggestions and by asking for
feedback from the groups. The
evaluation process aims <n m-. K
ing each group organize itself
more efficiently and contribute
more effectively to the whole
calendar of activities.

HOW WOULD YOU CARRY
OUT BSA'S FUNCTION?

H.F.: As an officer of the Junior

Class, I participated in the new
self-evaluation program given by
BSA. With the board's help I was
able to see the shortcomings, as
well as the strong points of my
own board. I must admit that **
had thought the evaluation
would be a "trial before a jury."
and I did not understand its
purpose. Afterwards, however. I
discovered that the evaluation
was necessary, and that the
conversation had been most
meaningful. I really felt more
aware of the problems of my
board, and I was more conscious
of the many possibilities for its
improvement.

As chairman of BSA, I would
aim to establish its true role
within the community. BSA has
done an outstanding job this
year, and I would like to see this
function continue. Through my
own recent experience with
BSA, I found that it is a very
essential board. I would like to
see the campus made aware of
the new role of BSA. It is no
longer a stagnant board, but has
become one that is vital to the
function of our campus.

L.W.: I feel that the reformed
BSA is a much better board. I
would follow the general
procedures that have been used
this year - (1) getting the groups
to present their plans as early as
possible, (2) planning one half a
quarter at a time, (3) having
regular weekly meetings to be
available to the groups, and (4)
evaluating all the groups during
winter quarter.

In addition to these existing
procedures, there are some
other means by which to make
BSA function more effectively.
This spring quarter (after elec-
tions and members-at-large have
been selected by petition) the
new board should meet with the
present board so that the present
board members can orient the
new members to their duties and
the problems the present board
encountered. Also, the new
board should formulate some
broad plans for next year. Having
a general calendar of annual
events (such as Tocus on Faith,
Honor Emphasis Week, and
Bld( k Awareness Week) and Lec-
ture Committee events in mind,
the board members should be
able to approximate in advance
where the openings in next
year's calendar are going to be.
Thus, the board members will
have a framework within which
to work before they come back
m the fail. During the fall
quarter, the board can ask
groups for very general outlines
of their plans for the year. The
board then will make specific
plans for the year a half a quarter
at a time (a half a quarter in ad-
vance), reviewing and approving
insertion of additional events to

the general calendar.

I also think that in two areas
BSA could pursue its duties
further than it now does. BSA's
evaluation of groups gives it an
overview of all the different
groups on campus, their needs
and the relationship of their
needs to each other. BSA's in-
formation could be beneficial to
Rep Council's process of
evaluating and funding groups.
Secondly and most importantly
BSA should suggest and en-
courage the different groups on
campus to work jointly on pro-

DO YOU FEEL THAT
UPPERCLASSMEN SHOULD BE
INVOLVED IN THE ORIEN-
TATION PROGRAM?

Ginny Lee: Definitely yes!
Above all, Agnes Scott is people,
and as new students adjust to life
here, getting to know
upperclassmen can be very
helpful. I wou Id urge
upperclassmen to become in-
volved in orientation, through
the Big Sister program and
through support of all the orien-
tation activities planned and
sponsored by Orientation Coun-
cil and by each of the boards on
campus.

Mopsy Widener: Orientation
Council is the first council to
which new students are in-
troduced upon their arrival.
Therefore, the council must
make a warm welcome to the
new students and offer a sense of
security. An orientation of every
aspect of Agnes Scott life must be
provided during the orientation
period. Most importantly, the
council's purpose is to provide
opportunities for the new
students to meet one another
and become acquainted.

I definitely feel upperclassmen
should be involved in the orien-
tation program, for, after being
here for two or three years, they
have insight into many aspects of
Agnes Scott life. They can offer
suggestions to new students on
how to handle both, the
academic and social aspects of
Scott. Secondly, participation in
orientation activities gets the
upperclassmen involved in the
events occurring during the fall
quarter. Also, this involvement
helps upperclassmen get an-
quainted with the new students
and vise-versa.

DO YOU FEEL THAT THE "BIG
SISTER" TRADITION IS EFFEC-
TIVE?

C.L: First let me explain that
the Big Sister program is a
relatively new tradition. The class
of 1979 was the first class to have
Big Sisters. Previously, freshmen
were divided into groups of six
and assigned to a team com-
posed of a junior or senior spon-
sor and two sophomore helpers.
Each team then assumed what
are now the duties of a Big Sister
for every freshman in the group.
In the past three years, Orien-
tation Council has found the Big
Sister program to be more effec-
tive than the old system. I think
that the personal contact a Big
Sister provides through summer
letters and help in the fall is very
important to a new student, and

jects. I think there would be
savings in time, effort and money
spent by the groups. Overlap-
ping of activities would be
avoided. The joint effort of
groups would mean more
people working on an event. I
believe that the groups would be
more satisfied with what they
had done. With the participation
of people from various groups
and the joint-group push for
publicity, the result would be
more student interest and a
bigger student turn-out at the
planned activity or event.

for this reason I personally am in
favor of the program. However,
being a Big Sister entails a large
amount of responsibility which
each individual student must
take seriously if the program is to
be totally effective.

M.W.: The effectiveness of the
"Big Sister" tradition dependson
the individual. Although some
new students do not need
specific guidance, I think con-
tinuing the tradition is
worthwhile for those who have
benefited from it and have made
friends from it. Also, a big sister
offers a one-to-one relationship
which is needed during the
orientation period and acts as an
available counselor for the new
student.

WHY DO YOU FEEL QUALIFIED
FOR THIS POSITION?

C.L: The position of Orien-
tation Council Chairman
demands organizational skills,
creativity, and the ability to work
well with a small group such as
the council. Serving on Orien-
tation Council for the past two-
years has provided me with the
experience and skills necessary
for this position. As secretary my
sophomore year I worked
closely with each member of the
council and became familiar
with the different res-
ponsibilities of each position. I
served as Academic Chairman
this past year and, with the help
of a faculty-student book com-
mittee, implemented a new
program for academic orien-
tation. Orientation council is
structured sothat members work
closely together on every aspect
of orientation. From my ex-
periences on the council I feel
that I can work well with the
group to organize and carry out
meaningful orientation ac-
tivities.

M.W.: I am qualified to be the
chairman of the Orientation
Council mainly because I want
the position. I want the job
because I feel Orientation Coun-
cil is one of the most important
councils at Scott since its actions
greatly influence how new
students feel about Scott during
the fall quarter. Such an im-
portant council needs a leader
who can be totally dedicated to
the council. Because of my
desire for the position, I would
offer as much of my time as
needed to carry out the
program.

I served as Rush Chairman on
the council during my
sophomore year and thoroughly
enjoyed working with such a

small group. After being on the
council for one year and being
away from it the following year, I
have seen the council work from
the inside and outside.

Athletic Association

Laurie Kramer:

When I first arrived at Agnes
Scott my freshman year, it took
me six months to figureout there
was an Athletic Association on
campus. However, this year I feel
that the Athletic Association is a
fairly well known organization
fulfilling many student needs.
This increase in activity by the
Board has been the result of a
fantastic President this past year
and a group of students who
really care about the sports on
this campus. I have been one of
those students the past two
years, serving as a sophomore
representative and
secretary/treasurer of the
organization.

I feel that there are still several
things the Board can do to
promote sports activities while
including a wider range of the
campus body in these activities.
Since I jog every day, I would like
to start a program that will give
groups of students a way of jogg-
ing together according to their
level of fitness. My incentive for
this program lies in my belief that
it is easier and more fun to ex-
ercise with friends. I have proved
this idea true, as anyone involved
with my exercise class will attest
to. I feel there is a need for
greater organization with the ac-
tivities of the Board. This will give
a more varied agenda and will
allow for students to plan in ad-
vance to participate or to watch
them.

I feel that I am qualified to be
President of Athletic Association
because of my ability to
organize, initiate new programs
and see them to completion, as
well as my experience on the
Board. I have proven this ability
in organizing the Softball in-
tramurals and the games for the
AA picnic during my sophomore
year, and organizing and leading
the exercise class in my junior
year.

I hope that you had a good
Spring break. And now that you
have recovered from winter
quarter, I will see you on the
softball field, the tennis courts,
the swimming pool, and on top
of the Hub. Thank you for your
support.

Deni Lamb:

As President of the Athletic As-
sociation my main objectives
would be to stop student apathy
about sports and to attain more
student involvement in
organized activities. I feel there
are ways of accomplishing this.
First I think closer and better
relations between the campus
and the Board, and the campus
and the P.E. Department are
necessary. The Board has
become secluded from the cam-
pus as a whole and this seclusion
needs to be rectified; the Board
should act as a liaison between
the students and the P.E.
Department in organizing ac-
tivities. In light of recent events, I

think such a liaison is even more
important.

The activities that are planned
should be those things that the
students want - not what the
Board wants, not what the P.E.
Department wants, but a joint ef-
fort of the three groups to arrive
at a solution agreeable to all. By
communication with the Board
members, the campus can make
their opinions known. My only
definite plans would be for AA to
sponsor some off campus ac-
tivities which would be of
interest to the students. I haven't
made any other specific plans for
I would like to wait and see what
the campus wants to do; AA is
their organization. I am running
for this office because I have en-
joyed serving on the Board and I
feel that as President I could
better serve the campus.

Arts Council

Nan Atkins:

I feel qualified for Arts Council
chairman not only because I am
an art major, but because I am a
supporter of drama, music,
creative writing, and dance as
well. I was a member of Arts
Council mysophomore year,asa
representative of Art Club, and
was elected treasurer last year.
My quarter at the University of
Georgia gave me insight into the
importance of the arts in campus
life.

I would like to see Arts Council
get more involved in campus ac-
tivities. I feel that I can con-
tribute support in many different
areas. As chairman, I would like
to give the arts the attention they
deserve, and give the students
more opportunities to
participate in events both on and
off campus.

Once elected, I would focus
on having an active Arts Council.
I would be open to student ideas
and suggestions, and would ap-
preciate any feedback. Arts
Council works well now within
itself, but like all other cam-
puswide organizations, it should
work outside itself, for the
student body.

continued from page 1

from happening is to be strong
herself and command respect for
the Honor System in contacting
the individuals who comprise it.

The faculty and administration
should make some formal com-
mitment to the Honor System as
the students do, for they, being
an integral part of life here,
should follow the same prin-
ciples of honesty and integrity
the students should.

Right now I do not feel the
privileges of our Honor System
are being threatened. I feel that
people do take self-scheduled
exams, take-home tests, and
pledging their work seriously. I
feehtoo, that most people take
their social responsibilities
seriously but this aspect of the
Honor System seems to have
been neglected. The privileges,
academic and social, of the
System are not yet threatened,

This
is the

quarter

you have

all
been
waiting
for!

Welcome
Back!

though the possibility for
threatening situations to arise isa
real one.

Sarah Winham: I feel that we
are foolish and blind to think that
the privileges protected by our
Honor System cannot be taken
away. In the last two or three
years may schools West Point,
Stanford University, and Johns
Hopkins University not being the
least of these have had serious
re-evaluations of their honor
codes, often resulting in the
abolition or loosening of the
code itself. I do not feel that our
Honor System is in immediate
danger, but I know that we can-
not afford to be lazy in our ef-
forts to uphold it. We can expect
to keep our privileges only as
long as we show the faculty and
administration that we are
neither violating the honor
policies nor allowing others to
do so.

Interdorm Chairman

HOW DO YOU VIEW THE
POSITION OF CHAIRMAN OF
INTERDORM AND ITS RES-
PONSIBILITIES?

Susan Gledhill: The chairman
of Interdorm heads one of the
three most important
organizations on campus. As
leader of Interdormitory Coun-
cil, she must not only work with
its members, but also with the
Deans. She must be open
minded to serve in Interdorm's
judicial functions to see that
cases are handled fairly.

The responsibilities of this
position include more than
heading Interdorm. The
chairman is responsible for all
dorms. She must be aware of any
problems, and ensure a good liv-
ing environment and healthy at-
mosphere in each dorm. She
must also make sure that the
Dorm Council members are
working together in the dorms.
To accomplish this she must
work wholeheartededly with the
Dorm Councils. Therefore, her
job does not end in working with
just members of Interdorm, but
encompasses all Dorm Council
members.

She must work with other
councils and organizations, such
as Orientation Council, the Ad-
ministrative Council, SGA, and
Honor Court. She must give
freely of her time and energy to
help in the campus' functioning.

Andrea Groover: I view the
position of Chairman of
Interdorm as one in which the
chairman acts as a leader,
overseeing and guiding the
board in managing dorm
problems and reaching
decisions. It is important to
maintain an attitude of
openness, honesty, and concern
and I hope I can emphasize this
attitude as the board deals with
individual cases. One of the res-
ponsibilities of the chairman in-
eludes overseeing the
coordination of all dorm ac-
tivities and establishment of
uniform regulations throughout
the dorms. I would serve as a
source of communication to the
Dean of Students. I would also
work individually with the dorm
presidents in handling individual
dorm problems. Aside from
directing the Interdorm
meetings, seeing that all business
is attended to and problems dis-
cussed and dealt with, the
chairman also serves as a
member on the Administrative
Committee. In this capacity, I
would present and support all
decisions made by Interdorm
and review and approve
recommendations made by Rep
Council and Honor Court.

Julie Johnston: As Chairman of
Interdorm I would be a meansof
communication between the
dorms and the Dean's Staff.
Because communication with
the Dean's Staff is important, and
because it keeps things function-
ing smoothly, I would have a big
responsibility in mak ing sure this
communication exists. I would
also preside over Interdormitory
Council which is composed of all
the presents of the dorms. This
carries a lot of responsibility
because Interdormitory Council
decides what is best for the
dorms and often creates new
policies (e.g., Key Policy). The

position of Chairman of
Interdorm is important, and
although it has many res-
ponsibilities I feel that I am
qualified for the position.

Diane E. Peterson: I feel the
Interdorm Chairman position
should be used as an open line of
communication between the
Dean of Students' Office and the
student body. The chairman
must be available to hear both
suggestions or change and
problems. Secondly, she must
establish programs to prepare
the new Dorm councils to help
insure confidence and efficiency
from them. In addition, I think it
is necessary for the chairman to
initiate new ideas to encourage a
sense of unity between the Dorm
councils as well as among the
dorm residents.

Barbara Propst: Because a
good dormitory situation is so
important at Agnes Scott, I think
the office of Chairman of
Interdorm carries with it a great
responsibility. As chairman, I
would strive to coordinate the
activities of the dorm councils
and work with Interdorm, Molly,
and Dean Kirkland to make
dorm life as enjoyable as possible
for everyone.

ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC
PROBLEMS YOU PLAN TO DEAL
WITH?

S.G.: I would like to see
Interdorm respected more for its
position and the duties it
performs on campus. Thisentails
Dorm Council also. This year,
more than in the past two years I
have been here, Interdorm has
made its presence known.
However, I still feel that many
students do not realize all that
Interdorm does. It is one of the
three major governing bodieson
campus. It seems though, that we
always hear about Honor Court
and SGA. Not that these
organizations are not important,
they are. But, we should realize
there is a "trio", not a "duo".

Also, I would like to see the
Dorm Councils respected more.
This does not mean they should
be feared. Dorm Councils are
not supposed to be only a
"police force", handing out in-
fractions. Of course, they do
have some authority in the
dorms, but they are also there to
help with problemsand organize
activities, not just to discipline.

I fear that many students
choose the people they would
like on the Dorm Council in the
dorm they hope to get in. We
should be aware of all members
we choose, and realize that the
president of another dorm will
be a part of Interdorm, working
for us in a governing body.

Another area of concern is the
new key policy. But, it does not
necessarily have to be a problem.
I hear of many question and
worries over keys for all of the
dorms, and what will be done
with Fall Quarter Freshmen's
hours. After" livi ng in the only
dorm with keys for two years
now, I realize where there may
be areas of concern, but I can
also see the good aspects of this
new policy. I would try to work
out any problems with the keys,
having learned from experience,

and work in establishing the
good aspects.

A.G.: I would like to see the
counseling program, which has
already been planned and
thought out, get off to a good
start next quarter. This program
will train students in the capacity
of siting personal problems early
and confronting the student and
together working it out. Students
will be informed of who these
trained students are and may
take it upon themselves to go to
these people if they need help. I
would also like to see the Dorm
Council members feel a more
important and integral part of
the Dormitory System. The
Honor System is an important
factor of dorm life and I hope
that the significance of the
Honor System will be greatly em-
phasized.

J.J.: A problem that has been
dealt with this year and one that I
plan to continue dealing with is
consistant policies and penalties
for all of the dorms. I think it is
not only easier to remember
what needs to be done, but it is
also fairer to everyone when all
of the dorms function in a con-
sistant manner. Another
problem is Dorm Council in-
volvement. I would like to con-
tinue having joint meetings with
Dorm Council, once a mopth, to
keep everyone informed of what
Interdorm is doing and planning.
I would also like to involve Dorm
Council in more things similar to

continued on page 6

Christian
Association

WHAT KIND OF

ORGANIZATION DO YOU
THINK CHRISTIAN AS-
SOCIATION SHOULD BE?

Angela Fleming: Faith in God
is the common element among
all Christians. As faith, a gift from
God, grows in 'all of us who
believe, it gives shape and hope
to our lives. Christianity also
places a responsibility on its
members to spread this faith.
Because of these aspects of
Christianity, I believe that Chris-
tian Association should be an
organization which promotes
spiritual growth and unity on the
Agnes Scott campus. I emphasize
spiritual unity because of the
large number of professing
Christians from diverse
backgrounds here at Agnes
Scott.

Ginnie Risher: CA should be
an organization committed to
Jesus Christ and His goals for the
Agnes Scott campus. It should
challenge the Agnes Scott com-
munity to recognize its spiritual
needs, and it should aim to meet
these spiritual needs through
Christ. Because CA is the only
Christian organization on cam-
pus, and because Agnes Scott is
penetrated with diversity, CA
must necessarily have versatility
in order to be effective on cam-
pus.

I do not think that CA should
be a group of spiritual elite. I
realize that although all students
are technically members of the

Christian Association, not all will
take part in its activities.
However, I think that CA should
be usable and fulfilling to all who
want to be involved in it. I
definitely see the need for CA to
adapt to the different kinds of
Christians on campus. The board
should be composed of different
types of Christians who are all
committeed to Christ.

Diane Banyar: Christian As-
sociation is an organization of
Christians striving to live and
promote the Way of the Lord.
Christian Association aims to
reinforce the importance of a
relationship with the Lord, both
on and off-campus. It doesn't
intend to be a selective
organization that only wants in-
volvement from one section of
the campus. Instead, it tries to
offer the opportunity for the en-
tire campus community to grow
in Christian fellowship.

ARE THERE ANY CHANGES YOU
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE?

A.F.: There are two particular
aspects of CA I would like to see
changed. Because I feel that CA
is less effective in reaching
upperclassmen, I would like to
see more programs focusing on
this group's problems and
interests. The next "change" is
one that I alone am incapable of
bringing about. However, I
believe that through the prayer
and actions of many, the existing
enthusiasm for Christ here at
Agnes Scott can be greatly in-
creased.

G.R.: CA needs to be
revitalized with new ideas and
new projects to achieve its goals.
This board reaches a very limited
number of people on campus,
and although I do not think we
should be concerned with quan-
tity, I think that C A should have a
quality that attracts participation.
The many CA committees this
year really helped CA become
more accessible to more people.
Next year, I would like toseethis
continue. Focus on Faith also en-
couraged campus involvement,
and next year I would like to see
its program expand to include
more faculty and student
participation.

CAshould encourage students
to get involved off campus
through its "Outreach"
program. This program needs to
be less ambiguous, and it needs
to better inform students of what
is available to them. At the
beginning of the year, the cam-
pus should vote for a charity they
want to support through CA dur-
ing the year; thus, CA efforts
would be focused on one area
instead of so many.

CA is a real victim of "winter
quarter slump". After Focus on
Faith it really does not have
much to do. To solve this, each
committee on CA should have a
peak period at different times
during the year when each com-
mittee does a special activity.
This would renew the campus
and the CA Board's interest. It
would also be an asset to have
Focus on Faith in the spring
instead of the dead of winter.

D.B.: YES. I would like to
abolish the stereotype that exists
about a "CA person," because it
is detrimental to the success of
the Association and hinders
student interest. The stereotype

I'm concerned about is one of
superiority and exclusion. What
needs to replace this stereotype
is a strong sensitivity to others
beliefs, and an acceptance of
each individual.

I would also like to strengthen
and expand our outreach
program to one which includes
more organizations locally,
nationally, and internationally,
that need our attention and
prayer...

Another change would be the
enlargement of committee
members on each committee to
allow more people to interact
with the CA Board.

WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE
QUALIFIED FOR THIS
POSITION?

A.F.: I am running for
President of Christian As-
sociation because of a sincere
concern for the spiritual well-be-
ing of all members of the cam-
pus. I also feel that it is my res-
ponsibility to seek this office. I
also believe that the experience I
gained as a previous board
member will be beneficial if I am
elected as an officer.

G.R.: I am a Christian, an I have
a lot of confidence in what CA
can be to this campus through
people who are committed to its
goals. I have been on the board
for two years, one year as a com-
mittee co-chairman, and one
year as secretary. I feel that I
understand the structure of CA
an I am willing to put all of my ef-
forts into making that structure
work for the Agnes Scott cam-
pus.

D.B.: I am qualified for this
position because I am a Christian
with a strong commitment and
desire to seek and fulfill the
Christian needs of our campus
community. I served on the
Board this year as Co-Chairman
of Social / Orientation Com-
mittee, and this experience gave
me insight into the role of
Chairman. This experience com-
bined with a strong relationship
with the Lord, Jesus Christ, more
than adequately qualifies me to
serve as Chairman of Christian
Association.

Social Council
President

Nancy Rogers:

Social Council's main function
is to stimulate social activity and
interaction with fellow
students, organizations, and
other schools. It is necessary for
the students to realize the im-
portance of their role on Social
Council and their part in the
success of the functions, and for
the Council members to know
what the students like and what
they dislike. The Council itself
needs to encourage enthusiasm
among the students to insure the
success of the functions and to
get their reactions and criticism
to all social events. The biggest
problem Social Council faces is
financial, and for this reason
student support is vital.
Therefore, through stronger
organization of off campus
functions and the contagion of
enthusiastic students, as well as
better communication between
members and fellow students,
Social Council could be a more
effective organization.

SGA President

continued from page 1

AS YOU SEE THEM, WHAT ARE
THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF
SGA PRESIDENT?

M.B.: Behind all those duties
listed in the handbook to
preside over Rep Council
meetings, serve as liaison
between students and ad-
ministration, etc. are the
unspoken but vital aspects of the
President's job. First, as I have
already mentioned, she hasto be
a good organizer. Not only does
she appoint members and
chairmen to SGA committees,
the President must at all times be
aware of just what these many
small bodies within the system
are working on.

I don't think we expect the
President to be a passive arbiter
of disputes. But we do see her as
a positive, active force on cam-
pus. The President should
generate ideas herself. She must
also promote discussion, activate
lively interchange among others.
Getting students to think about
our role here, to try defining
what Agnes Scott stands for is
what I as President would aim
toward most of all.

Atmosphere, though
sometimes hard to describe, is
nevertheless something every
student has a sense of. The
"right feeling" on campus can
distinguish a good year from a
bad. The SGA President, through
her personality, unavoidably
shoulders a great deal of the res-
ponsibility for setting the tone
which will prevail for nine mon-
ths. She also represents Agnes
Scott to others outside the
school community, and her very
presence plays an important part
in these situations.

strides in opening up channels of
communication between the ad-
ministration, faculty and the
student body. I see this as one of
our biggest assets in ac-
complishing whatever we might
have set before us. Therefore, I
see maintaining these channels
as one of the major res-
ponsibilities of next year's
president and all those
thereafter.

N.P.: Other than the duties and
powers of the SGA President that
are stated in the handbook, I feel
that there are additional duties
which must be carried out not
only in Rep Council meetings,
but also outside of Rep. The SGA
President must be able to handle
all issues in a controlled and un-
biased manner; yet, she must
also remain firm in her own
opinion. She must always keep in
mind the traditions and purposes
of the college and, at the same
time, remain open to new ideas
and possibilities. Finally, the SGA
President must be aware of
student opinions and desires and
represent them as best as she
can.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC
PLANS YOU WOULD PROPOSE
IF ELECTED?

M.B.: I do have specific plans if
elected which, while sounding
modest, have great potential im-
pact. Drinking policy revisions
have been on our minds for
quite some time and will con-
tinue to be until we reach some
resolution. I would work forsuch
a resolution, perhaps for that
compromise recently suggested
by the Administrative Com-
mittee.

their respective groups by put-
ting them in writing. Goals are
more easily realized once a
direction has been clearly es-
tablished. I also would hold joint
monthly meetings of SGA of-
ficers and these chairmen to
promote tighter organization in
our government.

T.D.: Any specific plans that I
foresee for next year are, like the
changes in the system, small but
significant. First of all I would like
to see greater use made of the
Fall Retreat for SGA represen-
tatives when such topics as groujD
dynamics, leadership, com-
munity relations, and decision
making could be explored in
such a way as to expand and
enhance the experience of being
a board member.

Secondly, a reevaluation of the
offices of the vice-president,
secretary and treasurer is called
for. I would like those officers to
have increased exposure to the
student body as well as to the ad-
ministration and faculty.

Thirdly, I would like to see us
keep in contact with other
women's colleges in the south.
We have been asked, and have
accepted, to hold next year's
Conference of Southeastern
Women's College Student
Governments. Surely we have
ideas to share with each other.

Lastly, but most importantly, I
would like to see more
awareness in the students of the
"goings on" of the Represen-
tative Council of which each
student is a member. This re-
quires mutual effort on the part
of the students and the board as a

whole. Granted, although the
meetings are not always
noteworthy or even interesting, I
would like to bring them to the
students by choosing one
Wednesday at the beginning,
middle, and end of each quarter
to announce, perhaps in the din-
ing hall, accomplishments and
forthcoming issues.

Of course, each year is
different and it is diccifult to see
what may come up and require
our attention. However, it goes
without saying to listen to any
suggestions and to take any
necessary steps to adapt myself
to the needs and requests of the
students who comprise this
college.

N.P.: As I have stated above, I
would like to try to revitalize our
present system of Student
Government wihh a policy of
openness and awareness. I think
this could be done with more
organized interactions between
the students and the faculty /ad-
ministration, between the
students and the Board of
Trustees, and between the
students themselves. I would
also like to establish an effective
system of Faculty Evaluations. I
feel that it is important for the
students to be given the op-
portunity to express their
opinions just as it is important for
the faculty to be aware of the
students' attitudes. I would also
like to work for positive results in
the creation and passage of a
more lenient liquor policy. With
the passage of RC 180 (which
permits students to store and
consume alcoholic beverages in
the private areas of the dorms), I
feel that the students have ex-

pressed their desire for a more
lenient policy. I would,
therefore, when the RC appears
before the Administrative Com-
mittee and the Board of Trustees,
support such a policy which
would be conducive not only to
the desires of the students, but
also to the principles of the
college.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE
SGA PRESIDENT?

M.B.: We at Agnes Scott are in
the midst of a process of self-
definition, assessing not only
what the college represents but
also what we can offer to her as
the changing South moves
toward a new century. I want to
be SGA President because of the
chance it provides to lead this
evaluative and speculative thin-
king, to help mold the Agnes
Scott of the future. How reward-
ing it would be to serve as
President during this exciting
process.

T.D.: I wish to be SGA
president simply because I am
both interested and concerned
about Scott to the extent that I
feel I must take an active part in
student government. Most
specifically, I chose to run
because I feel it is in this capacity
that my greatest services lie. In
addition, I feel I would have the
kind of support and help neces-
sary to make my job as effective
as possible.

N.P.: Because I feel that there
is a need for strong, effective
leadership characterized by an
honest and open attitude as well
as an awareness of the opinions
and desires of the students.

Interdorm Chairman

T.D.: Besides presiding over
the meetings which involves see-
ing that the discussions are
thorough but relevant and all
pending business is attended to,
I must act as the liaison between
the Representative Council and
the Administration. As a member
of the Administrative Com-
mittee, which approves all
recommendations for changes in
social regulations and policies
affecting student life, I would
feel responsible for summarizing
our decision process and for
standing behind the board's
decisions.

My powers as far as they
concern an active part in the
decision making process are
rather limited. I see my role not
as an opportunity to impose my
wishes on the group but rather as
a chance to be coordinator who
promote a comfortable, honest
atmosphere in which all board
members may have the chance
to speak openly and vote
conscientiously. If we can main-
tain this setting, we can have the
strength to build as powerful a
board as possible.; My concep-
tion of the duties and powers of
SGA has changed quite dras-
tically in the last year, and conse-
quently, so have my ideas about
the presidency. Kaki, her of-
ficers, and the board this year as
well as last have made great

After a year of inactivity and
evaluation, the Committee on
Academic Problems is ready to
be revitalized, and I propose to
do this. CAP has been res-
ponsible for many turning points
in Agnes Scott's history, such as
instituting our valued self-
scheduled examinations, and I
feel that with a careful definition
of this committee's purpose it
can live up to the reputation of a
dynamic force which it has ac-
quired.

Many students have felt with
frustration a communication gap
between us and the faculty and
administration, a feeling that has
led to a sense of helplessness.
SGA ineffectiveness need not be
a reality since we possess ad-
quate machinery to accomplish
goals. I believe Rep Council can
be a more involved group than it
has been in the past, and I
propose to assign each Rep
member as liaison to a faculty-
administrative committee which
relates to our interests, such as
Curriculum Committee. In this
way everyone can keep abreast
of how sentiments run on
current issues.

One further action I feel is
necessary: if elected I will have
SGA committee chairmen
crystalize their conceptions of

continued from page 5
the welcoming of the freshmen
that was done the day the
freshmen moved in. Another
idea is a hall party, sponsored by
Interdorm, with the Dorm Coun-
cil member(s) on each hall as
hostess(es). This would give the
Dorm Council members a
chance to meet the people on
their hall, and everyone else a
chance to get to know their
neighbors. It would be great if (1)
Dorm Council and Interdorm
members could be looked upon
as friends who are always ready
to lend a hand and/or an ear to
anyone at anytime, and (2) dorms
could be run on respect for one
another without required phone
co-op and specified quiet hours.
If I am elected I plan to try and
achieve the above goals.

D.P.: From my experience on
Dorm council and the Interdorm
judiciary body, I have found the
need for a more definite
procedure in the judiciary
processes of both councils. I
would also like to encourage
some changes in this area that

would increase the individual
student's responsibility in en-
forcing dorm policies. I have
seen too much dependence on
the Dorm council, the Senior
Resident, and the Resident As-
sistant to enforce the rules,
which does little to encourage
the development of responsible,
independent women. With the
new key policy in use and the
possibility of a new alcohol
policy, even more responsibility
will be expected from students
and the policies of Interdorm
should reflect this increase.

When the individual student
can assume more responsibility
and deal with the smaller
problems, this will give the Dorm
councils more time to deal with
other problems. For example, I
would like to increase dorm
councils' ability to deal with
personal problems. As a
Resident Assistant, I know that
wanting to help someone during
a crisis is only the first step but
knowing how to help is the
second. More workshops and
sessions with professionals like

the psychiatric nurse are needed
for the Senior Residents,
Resident Assistants, and Dorm
Council members. These added
responsibilities will make these
positions more appealing to
those who really want to get in-
volved and work.

B.P.: I think that the new
policies put into effect last year
by Interdorm are good, an I
would like to see them con-
tinued. For instance, I feel that
the dorm councils should con-
tinue to meet once a month or so
to discuss problems that have
arisen and to present ideas to im-
prove dorm life. Also, I think the
idea of having the old dorm
councils and Interdorm
members helping the new coun-
cils get started in the spring is
great. However, I would like to
see the judicial procedure sim-
plified, particularly as it applies
to offenses by fall quarter
freshmen such as missing curfew
or forgetting to sign out. This
would simplify the lives of the
dorm council members as well as
of these guilty of the offenses!

Business Hirings Rise Smith Interviewed

Atlanta area employers project
strong hiring plans for the next
three months (April, May, June),
according to a quarterly survey
of Atlanta area employers taken
by Manpower, the world's
largest temporary help service.

Joseph Whitaker, owner of
Manpower's Atlanta office, said,
"More than one out of every
four employers we surveyed
(27%) said they plan to increase
hiring this quarter. With an-
ticipated seasonality affecting
the sharp upturn this quarter,
that's almost triple the 10% who
planned hiring increases during
the last quarter."

The percentage of Atlanta em-
ployers who plan reductions is
also down from the last quarter.
Only 7% plan reductions, com-

pared with 13% for the last
quarter. For the next three mon-
ths, 66% of the employers say
they plan to maintain their em-
ployment at current levels.

Substantial employment gains
are projected for the services
sector while moderate hiring is
anticipated in the nondurable
goods manufacturing,
transportation and public
utilities, and finance, insurance
and real estate sectors.

Nationally, the employment
outlook is optimistic. One out of
every three (3%) of the em-
ployers interviewed, the same
percentage as one year ago, an-
ticipates adding more workers.
The majority of employers, 58%
this year compared to 57% last

Mary Anna Smith 78 enjoyed a
"stimulating break" from Agnes
Scott routine last fall when she
participated in American
University's Washington
Semester in American Studies.
The American Studies program is
designed to provide students
contact with various aspects of
Washington's cultural life and to
guide them to an awareness of
the city's character.

Although Agnes Scott holds a
long standing relationship with
American University through
which all of the present
Washington Semester programs
are conducted, the American
Studies Semester is not as yet of-
ficially offered here. Mary Anna
applied directly to the University
where she enrolled

independently. The credit she
received there was latter
recognized by Agnes Scott.

After finally arriving in
Washington Mary Anna dis-
covered that she faced "con-
siderable adjustments''.
Fortunately she found that "ac-
climating to new social and
academic atmospheres was
rewarding and fun".

Academic life was totally
changed for her. Washington
Semester required a "different
kind of learning". The
"education through ex-
perience" that she knew at the
American University and her
internship was "unlike anything
at Scott". "It was good", Mary
Anna recalled, "to have a less

Tish DuPont Elected

Tish DuPont

Due to the size of the Agnes
Scott College Community, it is
difficult to be personally ac-
quainted with everyone. Spring
elections bring new faces into
the limelight. Any increased
awareness of these personalities

will aid us in cooperating with
their endeavors.

Tish DuPont 79, our new SGA
President from Potomac,
Maryland, has some exciting
ideas for Rep Council and the
entire campus.

Tish is a Psychology major
interested in Gerontology, the
study of elderly people. Her
principle interests other than
Agnes Scott are hiking, swim-
ming, biking, seafood, Yul
Brynner, Saul Bellow, making
furniture, Gerard Manley Hop-
kins, country roads, curly hair,
mythical creatures (your basic
fairy or troll), Irishmen, state
fairs, short jeans, white socks,
and Kennebunkport, Maine.

Tish's plans for the future are
"to own a piece of land big
enough to get lost on, to make a

difference to someone,
somewhere, somehow, to beat
any challenger at spades, and to
have a hand in the reconstruc-
tion of the South's and America's
attitudes toward elderly
people."

She feels that her new Rep
board is very capable and that it
will work together to accomplish
whatever it set sout to do. Some
of the issues to be reviewed this
Spring are G-PIRG and parietals.
She would like Rep Council as
well as the student body to be
thinking about these issues.

Tish is an easy person to talk to.
She understands the trials and
tribulations of campus life and is
eager to listen as well as to help.

Election Results

Editorial

Changes

by Tina Robertson

I saw Mari after the election results were read in the Hub Thursday
night. She shook my hand and smiled with a look of relief. Whenever
there is an election on campus, a very tired but elated student steps
aside to allow a rather apprehensive student to take her place. It is
rather like a soldier going to the front to replace someone else. The
apprehension is directly due to the fact that most of us are never
really sure of just what we are getting ourselves into.

It is very easy to sit and complain about the status quo or to talk
vaguely about participating on campus. But, to follow the talk up with
some energy and a static desire to complete the project is something
all together different. Somehow or another I have gotten myself in-
volved with the Profile. A newspaper has to be one of the most
interesting mediums of communication. It calls for constant attention
and a steady flow of energy.

The paper is not the personal property of the staff members. The
paper belongs to the readers. The staff is simply an instrument which
tries to assimilate the ideas, news, and opinions of the community
that it serves. The content of this paper is based on the activity of the
Agnes Scott community. It is the common denominator of com-
munication on campus.

So, I would like to urge the students and the faculty to realize the
purpose of the paper to its full extent. Of course we are limited by
space and have to reserve the right to edit all copy. But I don't think
that the staff has ever been drowned in articles and letters from the
students on campus.

I am convinced that there are a lot of talented people hiding out
there. If you are one of these people, don't use lack of time for an ex-
cuse. The whole of the staff is also students. If you can write, draw,
photograph, sing, dance, please donate a fraction of your time to the
paper or any other campus activity. After you have taken an active
role on campus, then you can legitimately voice a complaint or pass
judgment.

Lastly I feel that I must commend Mari for her time spent at the
front. I would give her a medal of honor if I had one to give.

ASC

Ingmar Bergman's 'The Seventh Seal" will be shown April 8 at 8:00
p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts Building. Admission is $.50. This movie is
part of a series co-sponsored by Agnes Scott College and the National
Endowment for the Humanities.

* * *

The Agnes Scott College Glee Club will perform with the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra April 7 and 8 at the Atlanta Memorial Arts
Center. The chorus will sing the vocal part in "The Planets" by Gustav
Hoist, an English composer. All concerts are at 8:30 p.m.

ART

The Atlanta College of Art announces the opening of its seventh
spectacular show at the Atlanta College of Art Gallery at Colony
Square, April 10-22. The exhibit includes selected faculty works from
all of the Union of Independent Colleges of Art. The Union of
independent Colleges of Art is a consortium of ten of the strongest
art colleges in the nation which united to maximize their strengths,
better utilize their resources, and work together to meet their com-
mon commitment to the education of the visual artist and designer.
What better way to experience national artistic trends than by view-
ing the current A.C.A. Gallery Show? Gallery hours: Tuesday - Friday,
12:00 - 6:00 p.m., Saturday, 12:00 - 5:00 p.m., closed Sunday and Mon-
day.

Canada: A History Through Architecture is one display at Colony
Square, Atlanta until April 24. The exhibit is open to the public and is
free. Co-sponsored by the Canadian Consulate General and Colony
Square, the display provides a walking tour of Canada's history.

The photographs survey an architectural reflection of Canada's his-
tory beginning with basic dwellings of native peoples and pioneers,
passing through Victorian, classical, and Gothic-revival construction
of the expansion period, continuing through the rapid growth epoch
of suburban sprawl and Expo '67, and ending with present preoc-
cupation with environmental and conservation concerns.

MUSIC

Country and western, bluegrass, folk and gospel performers
interested in performing in the "Mcintosh Opry" this summer at
Peachtree City are urged to contact Mr. Mike Bryant, City Ad-
ministrator, at the Municipal Building in Peachtree City. His address is
P. O. Box 2371, Peachtree City, Georgia 30269; his telephone number
is (404) 487-7657.

The "Mcintosh Opry" will be performed every Saturday evening
this summer at the Mcintosh Amphitheatre in the Peachtree City
Municipal Complex. Opening day is scheduled for Saturday, April
22.

Emphasis at the "Mcintosh Opry" will be on entertainment for the
entire family. Admission will be free, and the entertainers will be
performing without pay.

THEATRE

The Theatrical Outfit and Gypsy Rainbow Dance Theatre present
Shakespeare's "Macbeth" at the Performing Arena, 1052 St. Charles
Avenue, April 20-May 28. The show will run Thursday - Sunday at 8:30
p.m., with music beginning at 8:00 p.m.

This version of the Macbeth story explores the magical forces at
work on a man of stature and nobility. Three witches lift the veil of the
future for Macbeth who then attempts to create an entire belief
system of spirituality while still living in the material world. The result-
ing conflicts and pressures cause his destruction even while Macbeth
wreaks havoc on a kingdom.

As with all the work at the Performing Arena, the play is ex-
perimental. The form of tragedy and the content of the play are the
concerns of the acting company as they create an unusual
interpretation of a major classic of western literature.

Admission is $3.00 general admission, $2.00 for students and unem-
ployed. For reservations or more information call 872-0665.

Showcase Cabaret's popular musical comedy revue, "Something
for Everyone", moves into its fourth month of packed houses and
rave , cviews with a "new and improved" version of its already
successful formula. Affectionately known by patrons and performers
alike as ... "something old, something new, something borrowed,
something blue ... Something For Everyone", the revised version has
been scripted by zany comedy writer Carl Beck.

GRAY FILM ATELIER
The Gray Film Atelier, a non-profit, New York State production center, is
offering a most unusual and creative opportunity to undergraduate or
graduate students interested in filmmaking. The Atelier is accepting
applications from students with little or no experience in filmmaking, but
who have exhibited strong interest in either literature or creative writing,
social sciences, and/or in the fine arts. The film program was designed for
young persons who have a lot on their minds and who have always
wanted the opportunity to express themselves in film.

This alternative apprentice-study program, now in its seventh year, in-
cludes a number of unique features. It is an intensive, full-time, one-year
program devoted entirely to the study of filmmaking. Many leading
universities have granted full credit for study undertaken at the Atelier,
meaning that students need not interrupt their university careers. This
program has filled a void for many schools which have had to cut back
their media programs for economic reasons.

! The Gray Film Atelier is organized as a professional production company
modeled after the film studio of yesteryear. Student apprentices gain ac-
tual experience in each studio unit. The Atelier apprentice program
represents a unique opportunity for female students since they share in
the functioning of all creative, technical, and producing roles. The
Atelier is authorized to accept students from abroad, provided they have
good command of the English language.

Students interested in obtaining additional information or application
procedures should contact Ms. Judy Reynolds, Administrative Assistant,
The Gray Film Atelier, P. O. Box 70, Hoosick Falls, N.Y. 12090. The
program accepts a limited number of candidates each year.

cancer.

Last year thousands of people
died of cancer who didn't have
to die of cancer.

They died because they didn't
know that there are seven
things you can do to help pro-
tect yourself from cancer.

IHave your doctor give you a
complete health checkup
every year.

2 If you're a man or woman
over 40, make sure that
checkup includes a procto exam.

3 If you're a woman make
sure it includes a simple,
easy Pap test.

4 If you're a woman make
sure you examine your
breasts once a month.

5 Ask your dentist to check
your mouth when he checks
your teeth.

6 When you're out in the sun
cover up and use screening
lotion.

Don't smoke cigarettes.

These seven safeguards are
saving lives every day.

They're easy to follow.

The next life they save could
be your own.

year, expect the hiring pace to
remain the same. In the surveys
taken, both this year and one
year ago, 6% anticipate a
retrechment in hiring.

Strong showings were turned
in by the durable goods and
wholesale-retail industries.
Durable goods turned in its best
showing In two years with 36%
predicting increases in hiring.
Although at a lower level, hiring
confidence among manufac-
turers of nondurable goods con-
tinues to be strong with 29%
forecasting increases in hiring.
Forecasts for the wholesale-retail
category are above those of a
similar survey of a year ago. In
the current survey, 34% project
increases in hiring, compared
with 31% a year ago.

The South and West lead the
country in hiring confidence.
Although extremely positive, the
South no longer is the sole front-
runner of positive hiring predic-
tions with 35% increasing hiring
and 56% expecting no change in
hiring. For the first time in 12
months the West equaled the
positive employment outlook in
the South with 37% planning to

increase hiring and 54% to keep
hiring the same. The Northeast
continues to trail the nation with
28% forecasting increases in hir-
ing and 62% to keep it the same.

Educational institutions dis-
play a hiring pattern nearly iden-
tical to last year's. Service com-
panies continue to show
strength, at a level very similar to
a year ago.

More than 6 out of 10 of the
federal, state, and local
governmental agencies surveyed
expect no change in hiring, the
one sector showing the greatest
tendency to maintain current
levels of employment.

The quarterly employment
outlook survey is conducted as a
public service by Manpower,
Inc. Designed and administered
by Manpower's International
Research Department, the
survey uses a statistically
representative sample of ap-
proximately 6,000 large public
and private employers, dis-
tributed among 10 industry sec-
tors and some 200 U. S. cities.

The survey results reflect em-
ployment intentions for the next
90 days. Some of these intentions
may change unexpectedly.

Spring quarter is here and so is
the chance to get involved in a
wide selection of sports. The
Physical Education department
and the Athletic Association are
sponsoring programs in tennis
and softball. A new soccer
program is also being launched
by a group of interested students
on campus. Hopefully, with the
wider variety of sports being
offered this quarter, many more
students and faculty will be en-
couraged to participate.

the direction of Ms. Ann
McConnell, P.E. Instructor,

A new soccer team is being
formed by a group of interested
students and is being coached by
Dr. Michael Brown, History

Chemistry professor. According
to Andrea Groover 79, many
students have expressed a real
interest in soccer and the team is
open to all interested students.
Practices are held on Mondays,
4:00-6:00 p.m., Wednesdays,

are no scheduled games but the
team hopes soon to schedule

Miss McKemie Named Danforth Associate

by Betsy Broadwell
A typical spring morning at
Agnes Scott brings sunshine,
hopefully, and the sound of
"Morning Glories!" ringing out
across the hockey field from the
tennis courts. The salutation
comes from Professor Kate
McKemie of the Physical
Education Department and it is a
good example of her general op-
timistic attitude toward Agnes
Scott students and life here on
campus.

Professor McKemie hails from
Fort Gaines, Georgia. She
attended Georgia College for
Women, now Georgia State
College at Milledgeville, New
York University for her Masters,
and the University of Tennessee
for her Doctorate. This is her
twenty-first year at Agnes Scott
and she is still urging us on in her

favorite sports of tennis and field
hockey, but she loves all sports.

Miss McKemie has been
named a Danforth Associate. A
part of the Danforth Foundation,
the Associate Program is
"designed to recognize and en-
courage effective teaching and
to humanize teaching and learn-
ing for the members of the cam-
pus community." The program
offers opportunities for interdis-
ciplinary and interinstitutional
activities among faculty who
share a broad concern for values
in education and society at large
and who as persons are
interested in teaching and
scholarship, who share a specific
concern for students as
persons."

As a Danforth Associate, Miss
McKemie is eligible to apply for
the College Project Fund which

"provides up to $2,000 for pro-
jects related to improving the
quality of teaching and learning
on college and university cam-
puses." Miss McKemie does plan
to apply and is open for sugges-
tions on how to put the fund to
the best use. (The AA Picnic is
not an acceptable suggestion,
but it would be fun!)

Miss McKemie is involved in
many activities on campus other
than those centering in the gym,
and on the tennis courts. She en-
joys all of the events such as
Orientation, Black Cat, and
Junior Jaunt because she feels
"they are all a part of the learning
process and provide op-
portunities to establish relation-
ships with peers and faculty.
Traditions make us unique and
we can be distinguished from
other institutions in the coun-

try.

Miss McKemie and Miss Kay
Manuel, P.E. Instructor, have
lent the College their gardening
talents and the results can soon
be seen in flower beds around
the campus. This is just another
example of the ways in which
Miss McKemie gives her time
and efforts to the college com-
munity.

Miss McKemie said she could
"write a book" on the things she
likes about Agnes Scott, but she
limited her comments to the fact
that she "agrees with the
philosophy of education and the
purposes of the college." She
said, "Education happens in
everything you do, living and
sports, not just the classroom,
although that is the most im-
portant. I am interested in the
growth of the students, but not

only the physical growth, (the
fat!)." She feels that living on
campus is great and although it is
not the real world, a common
complaint, it is "a reasonable fas-
cimili."

Miss McKemie said, "The
concern for students in all
aspects of their lives is the main
thing I care about. It may seem
trite these days, but it's the way I
feel."

Miss McKemie received
recommendations from all over
campus to be named Danforth
Associate and obtaining many
more would not have been a
problem. She epitomizes the
Danforth Associate in her at-
titudes and actions toward the
students here at Agnes Scott.

Miss McKemie gives one of her usual happy smiles!

Party Plans Made

Social Council began spring
quarter with a TGIF and has
planned three more parties for

Charles Feinberg
To Visit Campus

Charles Feinberg, honorary
consultant to the Walt Whitman
Studies of the Library of
Congress, will speak on
American poet and journalist
Walt Whitman April 19, at Agnes
Scott at 11:15 a.m. in Presser.
During the day the McCain
Library will exhibit photographs
of Whitman and manuscripts by
this 19th-century author of the
famous poetry volume "Leaves
of Grass." Sponsored by the ASC
Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa,
Geinberg's lecture is open to the
public, free of charge.

Feinberg, retired oil company
executive, was appointed
honorary consultant to the
Library of Congress in 1969, 1973
and again in 1976. He has been
co-editor of "Walt Whitman
Review" since 1965 and is author
of "Notes on Whitman Collec-
tions and Collectors" and "A
Whitman Collector Destroys a
Whitman Myth."

He has lectured on American
literature, Walt Whitman and

Robert Frost at numerous
institutions, among them,
Princeton University, New York
University, the University of
Virginia, the University of Leeds
in England and the Library of
Congress. He is recipient of the
citation of the Walt Whitman
Foundation of Brooklyn College
and the Distinguished Citizen
Award of the Detroit Historical
Society.

Whitman, sometimes called
the "poet of democracy," began
his writing career at the age of 23
as a political journalist in New
York. During the 1840's he edited
the daily "Eagle" in Brooklyn,
N.Y. He published no poetry un-
til the age of 36 when he
produced the first edition of
"Leaves of Grass" in 1855. During
the Civil War he wrote the
poems "Drum Taps," published
in 1865, and his well-known
elegies on the death of Abraham
Lincoln entitled "When Lilacs
Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd"
and "O Captain! My Captain!".

Saver Atlanta-New York
roundtrip fare is $104.00.

The APEX airfare for this trip
enables the student to remain in
Europe for up to 15 days after the
program ends and depart from
almost any European city at no
extra charge. Thus, students have
the option of returning from
Helsinki with the group or
remaining in Europe for
independent travel.

obtained by calling Dr. Lorene C.
Quay, telephone 658-2584, or by
writing to her at Georgia State

Apartheid Education

by Tina Robertson

Last weekend was applicants' weekend. A strong turnout of high
school juniors and seniors were here to look and to be looked at. I
would say that one of the most popular questions asked by an ap-
plicant is, "Why did you choose a liberal arts college for women?" It is
a curious question.

We are all familiar with the benefits of a Liberal Arts education.
Since we are also qualified by the fact that we are an all female
institution, it is necessary to realize the benefits of this qualification.

In the eighteen hundres, Agnes Scott and other mens colleges
were founded. Society realized that women as well as men needed
the expanding power of knowledge. But, the question was, "What is
the best medium in which to cultivate this learning?" Obviously
different individuals harbor different potentials of learning, and the
separation of these potentials for accelerated learning was difficult.

At a women's college, the development of our potentials as
women is the ultimate concern. I believe that most women do have
certain potentials and abilities that can be developed to their
maximum level in a women's college.

We do not suffer from our voluntary segregation. On the contrary,
I think we accomplish more than women who are confined to co-
educational institutes of learning. We should take full advantage of
this medium.

President jimmy Carter visited
four Third-world countries on
his March 28-April 24 trip. His
\isit included Venezuala, Brazil,
Nigeria, and Liberia, and his talks
centered on foreign policy and
human rights. Carter's stand, that
nations must work together to
end political oppression, won
praise from the public, but
national leaders were a bit wary.
President Perez of Venezuala ex-
pressed the concern that the US
is not doing enough for human
rights in that social and
economic issues are not being
considered.

Rioting and sabotage has once
again prevented the opening of
the Marita. Japan, airport. The
opening of the $2.9 billion
airport, scheduled for March 30.
was cancelled when radicals
smashed equipment in the con-
trol tower four days earlier. The
airport was completed in 1971.
but for various reasons has never
opened. The original con-

troversy came from the 3,000
farmers whose land would be
affected by the construction. The
latest complaints include
pollution and jet noise.

In Columbus, Georgia, the
murderer of six women is still at
large. The victims, all of whom
were strangled, were elderly and
lived alone. Police are main-
taining tight security in the area
where the murders took place,
and have exhausted all leads
without success.

sibility of a law school. Approved

Ladies, spring has sprung, and
with the turning of the season
once more the great wardrobe
shift begins. Here at Agnes Scott
a multitude of spring fashion
trends are becoming evident.
Storage trunks are being
emptied and Winter Woolies are
sent home for the summer. The
Profile feels that it is only fair to
keep everyone in tune with the
latest in fashion Do's and Don'ts.

Let's start with a few basics.
Mothball scent is not luxe, ladies.
Neither is that Musty Muskrat I-
just-unpacked- my-summer-
clothes smell. A little airing out is
very effective. If worst comes to
worst, DO try a misting of your
favorite cologne and sit in the
corner. Sometimes that com-
bination helps.

Next, let's remember that daily
highs of seventy degrees do
not herald a let's-see-who-can-
come-to-dinner-with-the-most-
skin-showing contest. Sun-
bathers might invest in one of
those chic cover-ups, and a pair
of not so chic, but adequate cut-
offs for dining. DON'T make
someone look at your red body
that is shining with sweat. After a
few hours on the Hub,
perspiration ceases and sweat
takes over. If a shower is too
much of an interruption, try the
cologne and corner trick.

Let's not forget that real plus
that we have been working for: a
SKINNY BODY. If you have in-
dulged in over eating during the
winter quarter, DO try some of
the those cute, little tent sun-
dresses. DO avoid the tube top
look: the Dolly Parton look is not
"In" this year.

On a more positive note, take
a look at our skinny model. The
malnourished look is always
posh. Even border line dieters
can achieve this effect with a lit-
tle effort. First, refrain from eat-
ing every day until after sunset to
avoid that unsightly stomach
pooch. Then, emptying all air
from your lungs, suck those tum-
mies in! Now, slink onto the
Quad, remembering not to
breath. You lucky devil - you can
afford to treat yourself to a Tab
for your good behavior.

Our second model has made
that all too common mistake of
getting her seasonal wardrobes
confused. The spring skirt is a
nice touch for class, but let's save

To The Editor:

I speak for the Admissions Staff
in thanking Mortar Board for Ap-
plicants' Weekend. Weeks of ef-
fort were involved and each
member of Mortar Board gave a
great deal of time. The program
was creative and effective in its
use of the campus and
particularly of the people of
Agnes Scott. I felt a great sense of
pride in the College.

Thanks also go to all guides,
hostesses, drivers, faculty
members, program participants,
arts fair performers, and
members of the Glee Club and
Dolphin Club. The energies of all
these people contributed to a
successful weekend which
showed Agnes Scott at her best.

those wool socks kor next year.
This look is exceptionally poor
with sandals.

The third model had erred in
her judgement about how to
pursue that layered look. Vested
spring outfits are quite the thing
this year. But please, ladies,
DON'T suffocate your bodies.
DO limit yourself to four layers
(that is including that lacy little
camisole and other unmen-
tionables.)

Speaking of unmentionables,
DO shift over to white and
pastels for spring wear,
especially under your white
pants. Save your black and
leopard-look undies for Tarzan.

We all know that the casual,
natural look is IN. But, let's not
confuse this with vintage Agnes
Scott Grub. Top Siders are nice
for boating. Our model is ob-
viously going for a sail after the
dance. Bandanas are better than
the slick look, I suppose. But,
DON'T get carried away. DO
invest in some snappy sandals
and shampoo for evening wear.
With the spring formal coming
up, you may even want to invest

in a pair of hose. (Ask the
saleslady for help if you have
forgotten your size).

Then we come to the ever
popular fire-drill look. Mistaking
your raincoat for a bathrobe is
perfectly understandable at
three in the morning when there
is some question of your burning
alive. DO dress for class. If you
are really pushed, you can get
away with stuffing your
nightgown into your jeans.

While we are on the subject of
jeans, DO learn to lower a hem
to ankle length. If you cannot
find the time to pursue the
winter forest, DON't go sockless.
The Jungle Jill look is OUT.

Finally, ladies, let's not take the
old "spring is busting out all
over" metaphor too literally. Hot
pants went out in junior high.
DO grow up and get yourself
into a pair of decent shorts.
DON't try for the middle-aged
fox look with shorts and heels;
instead, opt for a pair of those
chic little flats that are now on
sale at finer stores (and K-Marts)
everywhere.

Until the leaves fall, Au Revoir!

Mountain Journeys Available

Saratoga Springs, N.Y. You
stand braced against the granite
edge of the mountain top, hung
perilously between heaven and
earth. The wind ripples through
your clothing, and far below the
tree tops sway. A heady mixture
of fear and exhiliration tingles
through your body.

You lean into the ropes, and,
moving your feet cautiously over
the rock, back off the cliff edge
into the sky. In a moment you
find yourself facing the sheer
rock of the cliff, and with a rush
of elation, you glide down the
ropes earthward.

This is one of the many ex-
periences provided by the
Adirondack Institute in their
summer mountain journeys.
Located at Skidmore College in
Saratoga Springs, New York, the
Institute uses the Colorado Rock-

ies, the Adirondack mountains,
and the wilds of northern On-
tario as departure points from
the conventional in education by
offering three-credit hour
literature courses where all
instruction takes place outdoors.

Participants complete their
reading on their own before
gathering at the field sites for ten
days of field instruction which
in the mountain courses include
rock climbing, rappeling, and
river fording.

What is different about the
Institute's summer courses?
"Most literature courses taught
in the classroom are essentially
an intellectual exercise,"
Fairbanks explains. "This
program takes literature and
tests it against experience."

The Adirondack course in-
cludes writings by Hemingway,

Faulkner, London, and Frost,
while titles such as "Tough Trip
Through Paradise," "The Big
Sky," and "The Comanches"
sprinkle the Colorado reading
list. The Canadian course em-
phasizes exploration literature.

The groups are co-ed and are
comprised of 12 students and
two instructors. Dr. Anne LaBas-
tille, noted Adirondack guide
and author of "Woodswoman,"
is among the instructors who as-
sist Fairbanks in the field.

The program is open to all
undergraduates and other
interested adults, and welcomes
non-credit applicants as well as
those seeking credit.. Further in-
formation can be obtained by

How do I blink this gnat out of my eye?

by Man Perez

I had always considered my
energy as something to be
preserved - rather like cham-
pagne - for special occasions.
Calories were something to be
consumed and stored for future
reference. After all, I
rationalized, if I should ever be
in a shipwreck I would need the
reserves for survival.

Yet, as no ocean cruises, much
less shipwrecks, threatened
my near future - my "lifesaver"
was reaching a size a bit out out
of proportion to my survival
needs. My definition of

"healthy" was trimmed down
considerably after my
grandmother stopped pinching
my cheeks and started eyeing my
left hand.

Resigned to get some exercise
before bikini season descended,
I noticed the 'runner's look' fac-
ing me from all sides. I could not
go for a drive, watch television,
or read a magazine without see-
ing the athletic, improbable
figures invariably shod in run-
ning shoes. Everywhere I turned
I saw turned-up, sunburnt noses,
well filled T-tops, and calendar-
girl legs suspended from minute

track shorts. I gave my tennis
dresses a proper burial and
joined the race.

Like any amateur, I figured I
would need the latest style to at
least look like I knew what I was
doing. It took three days to find a
shirt that did not invite anyone
and everyone to either rape,
kick, seduce, or otherwise abuse
and misuse by person in sparkl-
ing letters. I had a stroke of luck
locating a pair of shorts one day
filed between a pair that glowed
in the dark and another of gold
lame".

The true test of inexperience

Spring Brings Pretty Weather

by Nan Fabisinski
Scott students are in an ideal
location to take part in some of
the most exciting outdoor sports
in northern Georgia. Possibly the
most exciting thing about these
activities is that most of them cost
very little, if anything, to
participate in.

If one is interested in water
sports, the Georgia-Carolina
lakes and rivers offer a wide
variety of enjoyable pastimes.
Besides swimming and water-
skiing at Lake Lanier or Lake
Raburn, one may canoe on the
Chattahooche, Tyger, and Broad
rivers. For bolder, more
experienced individuals, shoot-
ing the rapids on the roaring
Chattoga should prove a
challenge. (Guided trips are
available). If there is a nice
breeze blowing and one is able
to cona friend out of a sailboat or
maybe get him to take you
along), sailing on one of the lakes
or backwaters of a river is always
a romantic way to spend an
afternoon.

A word of caution here: no
one should attempt any water
activity alone. That buddy system
learned at summer camp is still a
good idea; and it wouldn't hurt
to have someone along who is a
qualified swimmer and/or Red

Cross life-saver. Also, the U.S.
Coast Guard requires every
water vehicle to contain one
Personal Floatation Device
(floatation cushion, ski belt, life-
jacket) for each person aboard.
The vehicle should not contain
over its maximum capacity in
weight. All fishers should inquire
about fishing licenses at the
Courthouse.

For landlubbers who aren't up
to all this vigorous water
exercise, sports such as biking
and back-packing may be the
answer. Beaches and National
Forest trails such as the ones at
Stone Mountain and the Ap-
palachian Mountains, or even a
plain old country dirt road, are
plasant pathways for a rural-
minded rider. All cyclists should
have reflector lights on their
bikes and far-travelling souls
should carry a dime in case of a
flat tire.

Back-packing, a sport which is
gaining popularity, can easily
answer a student's need to "get
away." For a day, for a weekend,
or longer, what could be more
relaxing than "roughing it" in
the wilds of the Chattahoochee
National Forest, Bartram Trails,
or Raburn Falls? Equipment may
be borrowed or rented. (See the

Yellow Pagels.) If one wants to
make the investment, one can
also buy everything needed, in-
cluding a tent and small stove,
for around $350 dollars.

Especially important for hikers
is a sturdy, well-fitting pair of
boots. This makes sense because,
while you can do without some
of the extras, it's hard to hike if
one's feet have given out.
Overnight hikers should plan to
include a tent, toilet kit, com-
pass, water-proff matches,
water-prurif ication tablets,
sleeping bag, extra socks,
sweater, and pants, 50 feet of
nylon rope, and a flashlight, in
addition to supplies already
continued on page 4

came when purchasing a pair of
shoes. I entered a specialty shop,
and the walls were covered with
the most psychedelic assortment
of footwear I had ever seen. I
picked up one shoe with a grid-
died sole that seemed quite
suitable for extinguishing a herd
of cockroaches. Variations on
the stripes and markings clas-
sified styles of shoes like military
insignia. Many had brand names
better suited to sportscars or
professional wrestlers than feet.

I finally picked out a relatively
obscure pair in a mild shade of
neon blue. The salesman then
proceeded to interrogate me:
'Do you run or jog? Hard or soft
surface? Sprint or pace? Have
bad knees? week ankles? How
about your arches?'

"Arches? Only ballerinas have
arches. Sir I did not come here to
be insulted. Arch supports?
Where do they sell those -
lingerie?" I almost had to bribe
him to sell me the shoes.

After I learned that working up
a sweat did not cause any
hormonal inbalances (women
are only supposed to "glow,"
you know) I worked up to a
steady mile a day. Since I soon
used up my deep thoughts while
trotting along - i.e. "onely three
more laps; " "I think I'm going to
drop dead," "how do I blink this
gnat out of my eye" ... - 1 amused
myself by watching fellow

The fat, the spastics, and the
wheezers usually ran at night,
and were the most original crew.
They wore everything from pa-
jama bottoms to bathing suit
tops. One evening I observed an
obese man with several beer
cans by his side planted
alongside the track. As his
emaciated spouse wobbled by
he would bark out some sort of
encouragement. I half-expected
him to pull out a whip.

When I advanced to where I
was not embarrassed to run in
daylight hours, I ran into the
show-off crowd. Lapping a man
in this crowd was not unlike pas-
sing a Trans-Am on the highway
in a VW. It meant war. One male
was particularly peeved with me
once. He seemed to think that
despite the fact that standing he
probably would have been eye-
level with my arm-pit, he would
not be outdone. We began to
race in earnest. All I could think
of was to put this" jogging
Napoleon in his place. Huffing
my way past him I convinced
myself that I was just an un-
discovered natural. I slowed
down to step off the track and
turned to give him a sweaty grin
the kind they flash at the
Olympics, arms akimbo and one
eyebrow raised - tripped on the
edge and made a lengthwise dive
into the grass. My adversary
trotted by and gave me the grim,
"Been walking long, girlie?"

What The Tennis Team Means At ASC

by Ann McConnell
A team of tennis players is in
our very midst. "Why do I care?",
you ask yourself. Well, you
should because these young
women are gaining experiences
necessary to cope with daily liv-
ing on the human level. Living
that is to the fullest and highest
good of each and all concerned.
Living that exemplifies the God
who dwells within each of us.
These tennis players are

thankful to Agnes Scott College
for providing them with the op-
portunity to participate in
intercollegiate tennis. They are
thankful for the strenuous ex-
ercise they receive. This exercise
directly relates to their increased
level of physical fitness,
emotional fitness, and spiritual
fitness. These young women are
raising their levels of
consciousness.

Each member of the team is

experiencing pressure; each
member of the team is experien-
cing competition. They are
learning to overcome personal
weaknesses which when
released shall open new
channels of awareness and
achieve new levels of
consciousness. These
achievements directly relate to
the level of success experienced
by these women in their daily
lives.

I would like for each of you
who has taken the time to read
this far to know that you are
welcome to support the team at
home and at any out of town
matches. Your presence at these

matches gives reinforcement to
all of us.

Your energy and interest is
channeled to the players on the
court and can give them the
added strength that is necessary
to overcome an opponent.

I opened this article with the
sentence, "A team of tennis
players is in our very midst." Each
player is a unique individual in
the midst of a group encounter.
Each of us has knowledge, skill
and a varied background of ex-
perience. Having been drawn
together as a team, we are able to
share our knowledge, our
understanding of the human

element, and can grow beyond
our ego selves. Each member of
the team gives reinforcement to
the team as a whole. The
heightened level of
consciousness which we are
beginning to experience is truly
a gift from God.

The members of the Agnes
Scott Tennis Team are: Kim
Gzeckowitz 79, Sharon Maitlan
'80, Kim Lenoir '81, Susan Mit-
chell '81, Laura Klettner '81.
Allison Bannen '80, English
Taylor '80, Paxson Collins '80.
Leslie Berry '81, and Lisa De
Grandi '80, manager.

The tennis team departed with a good idea in mind-
To go on to Columbus but we got in such a bind!
Dear Coach forgot her pocketbook, that had our funds, ya know-
We called back to security to grab her purse and go.
They sent McKemie flying to meet us on the road,
The hero flew like lightning and met us with our load.
We got back on the highway and drove 'bout sixty miles.
Then found that we were coasting and had to stop a while.
With eight sets of beautiful legs you know we weren't stopped long,
For soon had stopped a nice young man, and state trooper dragging along
They sent a message on ahead to say we'd been delayed,
But in the meantime, oh, such fun! and lots of cards we played.
This ancient woman stopped a while to spit her 'bacco out-
And whistles coming from everywhere gave us something to laugh about
A tow truck finally brought us gas, my was he ever pokey!
Susan took pictures of us all as she calmly said, "Smile, Smokey!"
Well soon we were back on our way, hyper and ready to play.
But Tift said, "Sorry, Agnes Scott, forfeit the match our way."
Yes, we played them anyway, boy, were we upset!
We lobbed and stroked and served our best and even rushed the net.
We were down, and not just once, but smiled the whole way through-
We shoed those girls that winning wasn't all there was to do.
We shared some sorrows and some laughs and got to be a team,
We learned a lesson from it all, what more could it mean?

listed for a one-day hike.

Back-packers may be oc-
casionally irritated by a hungry
skunk, sprained ankle, and
insects. But the major ddanger
that threatens the participants of
this sport is hyper-thermia, com-
monly known as over-exposure.
This is the loss of body heat,
caused usually by clothing which
doesn't offer enough insulation
or wind-resistance, getting wet,
or by not wearing a cap (20-40%
of one's body heat escapes from
one's head.) Hikers should
always be prepared for a sudden
change of weather because spr-
ing temperatures are
traditionally very unpredictable.
As long as everyone uses com-
mon sense, along with a few
precautionary measures and oc-
casional expert advice, it ought
to be a great season for all kinds
of outdoor sports.

Agnes Scott Dances Into Spring

Agnes Scott's Studio Dance
Theatre will present its annual
Spring Concert April 27-28 at
8:15 p.m. in Gaines. The group
studies the Martha Graham
technique throughout the year
under the direction of Mrs.
Marylin Darling, P.E. Instructor.
In addition to technique classes
and the SDT concert and Kids'
Show, the group sponsors master
classes open to the public. This
year these classes were taught by
a member of the Florida State
University Dance Touring
Theatre.

The 1978 Spring Concert
features the choreography of

eight students as well as that of
Mrs. Darling. The program is
unusually varied this yearand in-
cludes the music of the Dixie
Dregs and Ray Charles as well as
that of Bach, Handel, and
Prokofiev. The dance idioms
represented range from classical
ballet to folk and jazz, as well as
modern.

Classical Gas, choreographed
by Ron Colton of the Augusta
Ballet, has been restaged by Lil
Easterlin '80 for the Studio Dance
Theatre. It is a jazz piece
performed to the Mason
Williams song of the same name.
Peggy Lamberson '78 has

choreographed Awaken from
the Dream of Life to music by
Tommaso Vitali. The theme of
the dance is loosely based on the
poem "Adonais" by Percy
Bysshe Shelley. Katrina
Thomason's ('79) Folk,
choreographed to a bourree'
composed by ).S. Bach, centers
around abstractions from
different styles of folk dance. It
and a piece from the 1976 SDT
concert were performed for the

Beyond has been
choreographed by Mary Jane

Alumnae Authors To Speak

Six Agnes Scott Alumnae
writers are gathering at an
Author's Tea, from 3:00-4:30
p.m., Saturday, April 22, at the
Alumnae House to discuss with
students the business of writing
and publishing.

The informal discussion will be
taped and broadcasted on
several radio stations. The
authors include Roberta Winter -
Broadway playwrite, Eleanor
Hutchins - past English Professor
at Agnes Scott, Elizabeth Steven-
son - authority on prison reform,
Marybeth Little Weston - Garden
Editor of "House and Garden"
magazine, and Julia Lake
Kellersberger - biographer.

The tea is the first step towards
stimulating the young writers of
ASC through association with
Agnes Scott alumnae authors.
"Right now," said Jane Rhodes,
organizer of the tea," is the time
to begin writing." Several of the
authors began their writing
while in college. The discussion
will cover for the fledgeling
writer all of the aspects of writing
and publishing including the

do's and don'ts of sending
material to a publisher, financing
the publication, royalties, book
format, art, and writing methods.

The elders of the Democratic
Party, in a secret meeting called
by U.S. President Jimmy Carter's
new anti-inflation czar Robert
Strauss, discussed Carter's effec-
tiveness as a president. Former
Defense Secretary Clark Clifford
was willing to comment, "The
question has always been
whether a president without
federal experience and a (White
House) staff without executive
experience can govern the
country. After 15 months, the
answer, clearly, is no."

The New York Stock Exchange
reached a 52,280,000-share
turnover record on April 14 that
topped any in its 186-year his-
tory. On the same day, the
government announced that the
U.S. industrial output had risen
1.4% in March. The trend seems
to be due to Carter's anti-in-
flation push.

The Boys Club of Ypsilanti,
Michigan, in a bus bound for
Disney World, carshed April 11
between Ashburn and Tifton,
Georgia. The driver reported
that the brakes failed as she
turned into a rest area, and the
bus flipped. Three boys were
killed and 38 injured.

Ninety-three of the "more
aggressive" prisoners at the
Atlanta Federal Penitentiary
have been moved to other
institutions. This was the latest
move in response to the killings
of nine inmates in the past 17
months. Atlanta is one of three
maximum-secutiry U.S. peniten-
tiaries.

Business concerns and
homesickness caused Larry Flynt
to leave Emory University Hos-
pital for Ohio State University
Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Columbus is the headquarters
for his publishing company.

Doctors are expected to perform
a fourth operation since Flynt's
March 6 shooting, to drain the
wound.

Premier Aldo Moro, president
of the Christian Democratic
Party of Italy, was held by Red
Brigade terrorists for four weeks
before the announcement Satur-
day that he had been sentenced
to death. The announcement ac-
cused the Christian Democrats
of various kinds of corruption,
and stated that "no sensational
revelations" would be made, for
their crimes were well-known.

On April 13, the first legal slot
machine arrived in Atlanta City,
New Jersey. The first casino-
hotel is expected to open in mid-
May, and three others will be
completed within two years. The
introduction of legalized gam-
bling to the city is an attempt to
revive its sagging economy.

GUEST EDITORIAL by Sis Newsome
I have before me several handbooks covering a fifty year period
from 1928-1978. I am both intrigued and amused by what I read. All
this business of chaperones, required church attendance, and lights-
out limitations is fascinating. Smoking policies, drinking codes,
visitation privileges, dancing, and time limits reveal striking
differences from the early years to the present. There have been
many changes through the years simply because life at Agnes Scott is
a part of the real world and society hss changed profoundly.

The strong, reassuring fact, however, is that the changes on campus
are a matter of style, not purpose. Alongside the changes is the con-
tinuity of purpose, present from the day Agnes Scott was founded.

The Class of '28 and the Class of '78, as different as night and day in
so many ways, could join their voices in affirming that Agnes Scott
College is an institution of learning dedicated to the unfolding of
truth in the disciplines of the liberal arts curriculum. To know the
truth and to experience the freedom of its liberating power is at the
heart of the objectives of the college. Basicto the appreciation of this
dynamic purpose is a strong affirmation that God is the Source of all
truth and that the ultimate expression of this truth is found in Jesus
Christ.

The founders of Agnes Scott established the college on this basic
conviction. The Board of Trusttes, in its governing policy, continues
to reaffirm this ideal and endeavors to maintain the college as an
institution of integrity. The truth that is such an exhilerating and
liberating force in human life finds expression at Agnes Scott in the
classroom by the pursuit of knowledge and in the campus com-
munity at large in human relationships that are caring and trusting.
Neither people nor institutions are perfect, of course. If there is
sometimes evidence in the college community of a failure to act ac-
cording to our best ideals, our imperfections do not deny the spiritual
principles which are at the heart of the college's life. They simply
reinforce our need of them all the more.

Agnes Scott is more than the sum of its parts; it is immeasureably
stronger than its weakest link. The strength and character of this
cnstitution are rooted and grounded in a philosophy of education
with God at the center. The influence that this campus has on the lives
of its students will be commensurate with the degree of its
faithfulness to its standards of excellence.

An Open Letter to the Agnes
Scott College Community.

Several weeks ago.it came to
our attention that there is a

clause in the Agnes Scott
handbook entitled "Ad-
ministrative Dismissal." Ad-
ministrative Dismissal is ex-
plained as follows:

"A student whose conduct in-
dicates that she is not in
sympathy with the ideals and
standards of the College or who
is not mature enough for its
ideals and standards of the
College or who is not mature
enough for its program may be
asked to withdraw. In such cases
the judgment of the ad-
ministrative officers is sufficient,
and it is not necessary that
specific reasons be given. {Page
16, Agnes Scott Handbook).

The last time that I returned to
my Alma Mater, where I was held
against my will from
kindergarten until my senior
year, I tried to look as in-
conspicuous as possible. Out of
fear of being recognized as "that
lunatic who graduated in 75".

It was absolutely impossible to
just blend into the surrounding
environment because I was a
"marked woman. All students
are required to wear a tidy
uniform which consists of
pleated skirts, oxford shirts, a
wool blazer, a tie, and kneww
sox. I had cerimoniously burned
mine the day after graduation.

The moment I set foot on cam-
pus. I was shocked by the
"liberal" changes that had oc-
curred since my departure. What
had happened to MY school?
Everywhere I looked, deviations
of the strict rules were being
ignored.

I decided to march down to
the principal's offices and
demand that reparations begin
immediately.

While sitting outside his office

As serious a topic as this is, why
isn't it emphasized during
Freshman Orientation? It was
our belief that the Ad-
ministrative Committee, in con-
junction with the Honor Court,
handles all student suspensions.

The point that we would like to
question here is - Where is the
line drawn between the juris-
diction of the Administrative
Committee and that of the Ad-
ministration? Also, who decides
that an offense is TOO serious to
be handled by the Ad-
ministrative Committee and
should go directly to the Ad-
ministration?

Flash! News from the outer
realms of space graduate
school! Caroline Crea, who is
working hard (or hardly
working) this winter at Cam-
bridge, sent me the scoop on a
brand new game called
QUIZMANSHIP. Seems that it is
quite the rage up Nawth with all
the Harvard men. (For the
benefit of freshmen, Caroline
was graudated from A.S.C. last
June.)

Quizmanship is a subtle art, in-
volving the principle of "Keep
the Class Average Low at All
Costs." To do this requires
genius, the program involving
both positive and negative
aspects. Positively speaking, you
have to keep the dullards in the
class. THEY MUST NOT FLUNK
OUT. (You see what the counse-
quences would be, no?) This may
involve the considerable
sacrifice of your studying
enough yourself to tutor them,
but it's worth it!

Then, negatively speaking,
work like a house afire to keep
the bright students from
studying. This would be en-
joyable if so much did not
depend upon it.

The most common method of
distracting these genii is to give a
party and invite them, preferably
on the night before a quiz. Or if
your finances can stand it, each

student's face litup and she said,
"She must be an alien." Children
have a unique way of misusing
words, but I got the message. I
picked up my purse, cancelled
my appointment and left.

of the several nights preceeding
the big day. This way you can
have fun, too, and not worry
about not studying you know
that no one else is, either.

But there are variations on this
theme. One is to sneak out of the
party after you have gotten it
rolling, and study a bit yourself.
This is a low, scummy trick, only
to be used if absolutely neces-
sary.

Another trick is practicable
to be used when a group of the
bright students decide to review
for an exam. Here you really
grow diabolical. Make up a
problem that you are sure no
one can solve, and take it in to
them for "a little help on this,
please." They, in their superior
way, will be "glad to advise."
Then, when they are really
warpped up in it, and dare no!
admit defeat, you can fold your
tents and silently steal away.

For exams it is possible to work
out a cooperative arrangement
with friends not in your own
field. Get them to sit in on your
exams, leaving them hours early,
so that the bright boys will worry,
thinking, "Well, is it that easy?"
Also, if you are not prepared the
most fully yourself, what can you
lose by leavingearly yourself and
really scaring them?

This, in brief, is quizmanship.
Take it for what it is worth it's
lovely to see how the intellectual
half lives, n'est ce pas?

It's more than just fact, fact, fact"

The Writers' Festival

by Teresa Layden
Nerves trembling, stomach
pressing for release, I got up
before the small group gathered
in Rebekah Reception Room to
read my poem, "Christmas at
Hilton Head". When the last
image spun off the paper I sighed
with relief. I had conquered my
initial fear and I was delighted. I
looked forward to the other
events of the festival with
pleasure.

Thursday morning I had an
interview with Ms. Nat
Anderson. She was warm and en-
couraging. That afternoon I
attended Larry Rubin's reading
in the Dana Fine Arts Building.
Josephine Jacobsen spoke Friday
morning. Her reading was ex-
cellent but too short. At 12:30
p.m. the writers, student writers,
various faculty members, and
Genyne Long (79) met outside
next to the dining hall for a pic-
nic.

One of the highlights of the
festival for me was meeting other
student writers. I talked at length
with Pamela Grimm who attends
Georgia State and Edward
Donato from Georgia Southern.
Keith Melton, I discovered,
attends Georgia Tech with plans
of becoming a city planner.
There were many Agnes Scott

students present as well. I was
quite impressed with the com-
fortable atmosphere between
the students.

The festival ended with a panel
discussion of the students' work.
This was tremendously helpful.
The panel consisted of Nat
Anderson, Larry Rubin,
Josephine Jacobsen, and John
Yount. The Newman Prize for
Poetry was awarded to John
Thomas White and the Newman
Prize for Fiction to Frank Gan-
non.

The preceding experiences
helped me in a very stimulating
manner. I hope next year more
students find time to come to the
various activities.

One afternoon last week I had
the pleasure of interviewing Dr.
W. Edward McNair for the
Profile, I was especially pleased
that Tina let me do this article
because for me, as for so many
other Agnes Scott students, Dr.
McNair has been a great teacher
and a special friend.

Dr. McNair retired from Agnes
Scott last year as an associate
professor of English and director
of Public Relations. He continues
to serve the college, however, as
historian, and his visits to the
campus - the dining hall, first
Buttrick, and his office in the
library in particular - are regular
if somewhat less constant than in
the past. Dr. McNair, as many of
you know, possesses a
formidable command of the
English language which is as
evident in his conversation as in
his 211 lectures. The style with
which he produces a perfectly
formed sentence is second only
to the wit and deep appreciation
of beauty he brings to language.
In addition, his memory is an
iron-clad store of anecdotes and
personal observations as well as
hard fact. Thus, it is a rare com-
bination of talents he brings to
his current work as the author of
a history of Agnes Scott College.

There have been three short
booklets written about Agnes

Scott's history. The first, written
by President Gaines, is his
recollection of the 1889 to 1921
period. The second, written on
the occasion of Agnes Scott's fif-
tieth anniversary, and the third, a
very brief pamphlet, were
written by President McCain. Dr.
McNair is currently at work on a
history which will review more
thoroughly the period up to
1955, the printing date of Dr.
McCain's second book, and in
addition cover the period from
that time up to his own com-
pletion date. This, then, will be
the first comprehensive history
of the College.

Dr. McNair, who has already
written his first chapter and the
first draft of his second chapter,
hopes to have the history
finished in approximately two
years, but he is quick to point out
that he is already "approximately
three months behind schedule."
The book is to be divided into
two parts. Part One will give the
chronological development of
the college in five chapters.
Proposed title chapters include
"Stability and Status" for theone
covering the period of President
Gaines' administration from 1906
to 1923 and "Guiding for
Greatness" for the chapter on
the administration of President
Wallace Alston, 1951 to 1973. Dr.
McNair points out that it is very
rare for a college to be ap-
proaching its centennial in the
administration of only its fourth
president, and he considers this
stability and continuity one of
Agnes Scott's great strengths.

Part Two of the history will in-
clude three chapters. The first
will discuss traditions and anec-
dotes which Dr. McNair does not
consider appropriate to the his-
tory proper. Chapter two, to be
entitled "A Noble Company,"
will discribe twelve to fifteen
faculty people from Agnes
Scott's history. The choice of in-
dividuals who represent Agnes
Scott best will be Dr. McNair's
alone, he says, and he takes "full
responsibility" for it. The last of
the chapters which Dr. McNair
envisions at this point is to be a
list of all the trustees, ad-
ministrators, and faculty
members and their years of
service to the college. This will
be the first time a compilation of
this sort has been completed.

I found Dr. McNair's sources
particularly interesting. His of-
fice is located in the archives sec-
tion of the library, and in ad-
dition to minutes of the Board of
Trustees, clipping files, and old
copies of the Agonistic (the
Profile's predecessor), he is
drawing on a number of more
personal documents. There is a
report of the first financial cam-
paign, conducted in 1909, and
the original prayer covenant
which marks the founding of the

Decatur Female Seminary in
1889. Letters written by George
Washington Scott, who provided
the funds necessary to realize Dr.
Gaines' dream, describe the
purposes of the school. In 1890,
the seminary was renamed
Agnes Scott Institute in honor of
its benefactor's mother, the new
name being the sole condition
for the $40,000 endowment. At
this time a pamphlet was
published, the first official
catalogue. In addition to a list of
faculty and description of course
offerings, the purpose of the
institution is given. A statement
is included to the effect that each
level of study must be mastered
before thestudent may moveon,
and if you think the modern
grading system is stiff, you might
be interested to know that in
those days the minimum passing
grade was 80.

One particularly rich source
for Dr. McNair has been the file
of clippings about Nanette Hop-
kins. Miss Hopkins came to the
Decatur Female Seminary in 1889
as its first principal. Dr. Gaines
offered her the job on
recommendation, without any
personal knowledge of her, and
she accepted the position in a
school which at the time of her
employment had no building,
student body, or faculty. She
stayed forty-nine years, and dur-
ing most of that time she acted as
dean (of students as well as
faculty) and taught mathematics.

Perhaps the most precious of
all Dr. McNair's sources is com-
prised of the volumes written in
longhand by Louise McKinney
which she entitled "Imperfect
Recollections of the Early Days of
Agnes Scott." These notebooks
were given into Dr. McNair's
keeping by Miss McKinney
herself. She was the senior
faculty member and faculty
marshall for many years and was
a familiar figure on campus from
1891 to 1965. Miss McKinney, like
Miss Hopkins, never finished
college herself, but she has
affected, directly or indirectly,
the education of every Agnes
Scott graduate.

The history of the college
which Dr. McNair draws from
these and other sources, in-
cluding his own memory,
promises to be a fascinating one.
It will certainly reflect a century
of remarkable change, yet
tempered by a rare continuity
exemplified by figures such as
Miss Hopkins, Miss McKinney,
and Dr. McNair himself. As
someone who made a B under
him once because my paper
lacked "zip, verve, your name
it," I can testify to Dr. McNair's
dedication to his goal of making
the book "palatable ... more than
just fact, fact, fact."

movements of classical ballet
and modern dance are con-
trasted and finally integrated.
Additional pieces
choreographed by students are
Laura McDonald's ('78)
Suburban Shuffle. Sally
Stamper's (79) Blue Rotations,
Melanie Tanner's (79) Harvest
Seed, and Sarah Windham's (79)
Electrodribblers.

Mrs. Darling has
choreographed two dances for
this year's concert. The Com-
forter is performed to a gospel
song sung by Lilly Kahuls and
portrays the gospel-spiritual
mood. Visions is a dance in two
parts choreographed to music by
Wallingford Reigger which will
be played for the concert by
pianists Shirley Moore and
Roberta West. The first part of
the dance. "The Cry", is based
on Isaiah 40:6-8. This segment
was performed at Georgia State
University in the fall at a concert
given by Mrs. Moore and Ms.
West. "New Dance", the second
part of Visions, is based on Isaiah
40:31.

Five dances from the program
were performed at the 1978
National Conference for
Women in the Law, held here in
Atlanta at the Peachtree Plaza.
Presented in this performance
on April 7 were Classical Gas, and
excerpt from Baroque and
Beyond, Suburban Shuffle,
Harvest Seed, and The Com-
forter.

Last Wednesday the newly
tapped 1978-79 Mortar Board
was honored at a special con-
vocation. Myrna Young, Classics
professor, delivered a "secular
sermon" in which she deplored
current "anti-intellectual"
trends and urged a "rational
return" to the "critical method
of inquiry" promoted through a
Liberal Arts education. The
"ultimate responsibility", ac-
cording to Mrs. Young, "is ours"
and each individual must "in-
quire and interpret completely"
using scrupulously cultivated
"rational faculties".

Mortar Board was cited as an
organization committed to such
responsible values. The Board is

Alumnae

continued from page 1
Alumnae represent three areas
of recognition. The dis-
tinguished career award is to be
presented to Page Ackerman
(class of 1933). who is the present
librarian at UCLA, as well as the
first woman asked to be Librarian
of Congress. The community
service award is to be presented
to Bertha Merrill Holt (class of
1938) of Burlington, North
Carolina, who is a representative
in the North Carolina legislature.
The voluntary service to Agnes
Scott award is to be presented to
Betty Lou Houck Smith (class of
1935) who is a past president of
the Alumnae Association and an
active fund-raiser for the
college.

When the Association meeting
adjourns, President Perry will
greet the Alumnae briefly. The
Alumnae will divide into their
respective classes for class
reunions scattered across the
campus. The morning's activities
will end at 1:00 P.M. for a lun-
cheon in Letitia Pate Evans Din-
ing Hall and for recognition of
the reunion classes. Immediately
following the luncheon is a
dessert in the large quadrangle.
At the dessert Alumnae will be
able to visit with faculty
members and retired faculty.

On Saturday afternoon a coke
party and book exhibit will
honor various Alumnae authors.
Students, particularly those
interested in a writing career, are
also encouraged to attend the af-
fair which begins at 3:00 p.m. in
the Alumnae House.

If an Alumnae does not opt for
the meeting with the authors,
she may enjoy a guided bus tour
of Atlanta on Saturday
afternoon.

In order to accomodate the
husbands of Alumnae, the third
annual Husbands' Tennis
Tournament for the Consort Cup
will begin at 10:00 a.m. on
Saturday.

Sunday, April 23 will have a
relaxed pace. Dr. Wallace Alston
will officiate at a worship service
in Maclean Chapel at 9:30 a.m.
During the afternoon a special
reception is planned in the
Dalton Galleries from 2:00 p.m.
to 5:00 p.m.

composed of students selected
for their leadership and
scholarship. They are all service
oriented and dedicated to in-
volvement within the school.
"Agnes Scott's Board", ac-
cording to new President
Melanie Best, "has always been
very active and has maintained a
stabilizing influence throughout
the years". Melanie added that
she is "very excited about the
coming year" in which she ex-
pects "some innovation which
will expand Mortar Board's
services to the school."
"Perhaps," Melanie speculated,
"the Board might alter some
goals to include the surrounding
community as well as the Agnes
Scott community." The Board
members will all be involved in
diverse activities within school
organizations. "These corn-

Mortar Board functions as a
self-governing entity, separate
from administrative authority.
There are three faculty sponsors
who guide and support the
group but they do not impose
restrictions. Melanie is en-
thusiastic about the viability of
the board's "unique

Agnes Scott's Houses Now on the Market

The Agnes Scott College Board
of Trustees in the Fall of 1977
voted to market certain
properties outside the "core" of
college properties. This "core"
includes the area roughly
bounded by East College
Avenue on the north, South
Candler Street on the east, East
Davis Street on the south, and
South McDonough Street and
Adams Street on the west. In an
inter-office communication
dated November 7, 1977, from
President Marvin Perry, present
tenants were given the first op-
portunity to buy the houses they
occupied. The next priority
would be given to Agnes Scott

employees.

In a second memorandum
dated April 4, 1977, Mr. Lee A.
Barclay, Vice President for
Business Affairs, announced the
college's readiness to exercise
the second priority. He listed in
this memorandum some
twenty-five houses available for
sale to Agnes Scott employees.

These houses are located on
Adams Street, Bucher Drive,
Avery Street, South Candler
Street, East Davis Street, South
McDonough Street, Green
Street, and Winnona Drive. Ap-
praisals already have been made
on some of the properties, and
others will be made as soon as

potential buyers express an
interest in unappraised
properties. April 30 is the
deadline for informing the
college of any intention to buy
property.

Approximately 12 years ago, a
planning study was made of the
surrounding area. The results of
the study recommended the ac-
quisition of property for expan-
sion and other purposes. Conse-
quently, the college purchased
90-100 dwellings.

Two years ago, a subsequent
study was undergone for the
college by a planning firm. This
study evaluated this purchase of
ten years ago and showed that

Advisor to Speak on Power

Ms. Patricia Derian, assistant
U.S. secretary of state for human
rights and humanitarian affairs,
will speak on "Women and
Power" Friday, May 5, at 1:00
p.m. in Presser. The public is in-
vited, free of charge.

Ms. Derian's talk will be the
keynote address for the
statewide spring meeting of the
Georgia Association of Women
Deans, Administrators and
Counselors (GAWDAC). This
meeting at Agnes Scott College
will mark the 50th anniversary of
GAWDAC. According to the
organization's president, Mrs.
Joyce Hairston of DeKalb
College, GAWDAC is the oldest
organization for women profes-
sionals in Georgia.

Keynote speaker Derian was
appointed by U.S. President

Jimmy Carter to the state
department in June, 1977. She
had previously served on the
HEW Policy Planning Group of
the Carter-Mondale Transition
team.

She brought to her present
past experience as president of
the Southern Regional Council
and as a project director with the
Office of Economic Op-
portunity. She had been a
member of the executive com-
mittee of the American Civil
Liberties Union and of the
National Prison Project Steering
Committee. A resident of
Jackson, Miss., since 1959, she
was a founder of the Mississippi
Civil Liberties Union and a
member of the Council on
Human Relations.

The GAWDAC conference will

present, for members only, ses-
sions entitled "Perceptions of
Women in Management" by Ms.
Ann Delatte, Georgia's director
of educational services and
offender rehabilitation, and
"Women and Competition" by
Dr. Marion O'Neill, clinical
psychologist in Atlanta.

Local members of the
conference planning committee
are Mrs. Hairston, who lives in
Stone Mountain, and Ms. Mollie
Merrick, assistant dean of
students at Agnes Scott and past
president of GAWDAC. The
other members of the planning
committee are Ms. Lynn Benson
of Armstrong State College, who
is vice president for programs,
and Dr. Nelle Scholz of the
University of Georgia, who is
vice president for membership.

Faculty Reviews Curriculum

Members of the Agnes Scott
faculty heard routine committee
reports, approved a number of
curriculum changes, and gave
the bulk of the discussion to
proposed changes in the faculty
grievance procedure at their
regular monthly meeting on
April 14.

In addition to approving a
number of course changes for

the sociology and theatre
departments, the faculty gave
approval to additional
"Guidelines for Field Ex-
periences," including the basis
on which credit will be awarded
and a pass-fail grading policy.
Following a lengthy debate, the
body rejected a suggestion that
departments show restraint in
the frequency with which they

propose curriculum changes,
while approving a series of steps
spelling out the details by which
such changes are passed from
the department to the
Curriculum Committee to the
faculty at large. The course
changes which were approved at
this meeting will appear in the
catalog supplement which will
be available before course selec-
tion week.

Members of the Committee
on the Future of the College an-
nounced that the topics selected
for discussion at the fall faculty
retreat will be admissions and
enrollment, the freshman year,
and student life outside the
classroom.

The report from the Teacher
Education Committee indicated
that 17 students are doing prac-
tice teaching in the current
academic session and that thus
far 13 have been approved for
the 1978-79 year. Approval in
principle has been given to a
joint program in music
education between Agnes Scott
and Georgia State University.

this acquisition of property had
improved the community. The
community had stabilized to a
degree; families with children
were moving in and buying
homes. In addition, property
values had risen. Hence, the
college has decided to sell off
some of these properties to ac-
commodate people interested in
investing in property which had
previously been rented and to
place tax-free property back on
the tax roles. Property on the
fringe of the "core", however,
has a buy-back provision should
the college ever require the land
for expansion.

In addition, the college feels

that it has not successfully main-
tained these homes with its small
maintenance staff. Consequent-
ly, it is reducing the size of its
land holdings to remedy the
situation.

The college has announced
that all properties will be sold at a
fair market value. To establish
this market price, the college has
contacted an appraisal firm to
evaluate the property. Im-
provements made by tenants
have been taken into con-
sideration in these appraisals. A
restriction also will be put on all
properties limiting the property
sold to residential use.

Scotties Sing and
Dance for Charity

The Junior Jaunt Talent Show,
"On the Road to Canterbury,"
held April 20, featured all sorts of
singing, comedy, and various
other "talents." The evening's
highlights included Sarah Win-
dham's (79) and Susan Bethune's
(79) hilarious rendition of "A
Good Man is Hard to Find," an
Agnes Scott version of "The Dat-
ing Game" (with the "lucky"
couple winning a fun-filled
weekend at the ASC Alumnae
House who needs
chaperones!), and "lilliputian"
drill team performing to the very
appropriate song, "Short
People." Other highlights in-
cluded the announcements of
raffle ticket and "Suppressed
Desires" winners. Mimi Holmes
(78) (quite an entertainer
herself) served as emcee of the
talent show. Congratulations go
especially to Julie Johnston (79),
production manager, and Diane
Petersen (79) director, for the
fun had by all who attended the
show. All proceeds from the

show go to help the children at
the Scottish Rite Children's Hos-
pital in Atlanta.

by Ruth Ann Relyea
A seventh victim was claimed
by the ''stocking strangler" of
Columbus, Ga., on April 20. The
woman, found in her room
strangled with a stocking, lived
about two miles from the
neighborhood of the previous
victims. Local police have several
leads on the killer, but so far
none have provided a suspect.

Heavyweight champion Leon
Spinks was arrested in his
hometown of St. Louis, Mo., last
Friday on charges of cocaine and

juana. Out on bond, Spinks left
for Miami, but will return to St.

We Will Be Heard"

GUEST EDITORIAL Mrs. Ellen Perry

Flamboyant spring is here. We are giddy with
the spring shows of azaleas, dancers, growing
grass, artists, and - (the first shall be last) - the
scholars. Sentimental seniors have little more
than a month left to perform the last rites of once-
routine chores and pleasures. Parties proliferate,
birds sing, sunbathers sizzle, and all's well with
the world.

Or is it?

It is obvious that the world has problems. And if
Agnes Scott is typical of the world of which she is a
part, then we have our share of individuals who
smile convincingly, who never complain, but
who are in deep pain.

Some of this pain could be avoided. A sup-
posed joke can inflict a burning wound. Prejudice
of many kinds toward numberless categories of
people is cruel. Gossip is devastating and
needless. Compassion and responsibility could
inoculate against these hurts.
Some of the worst troubles are those we bring
on ourselves, (such as agreeing to write this
editorial). Often the problems of loved ones, bad
health, or just the pain of being human cannot be
prevented.

So, what then? Or, who then?

The religious answer points to God. We believe

God needs people to help.

We hope it is taken for granted that the place to
begin on the campus is the staff of the Dean of
Students. Their dedication, concern, and wisdom
as well as professional training have helped in
easing many heart-broking problems.

But, in an ideal community, more is needed.
There should be a pervasive atmosphere of
concern. How do we learn ways of "sharing a
people's tears?"

There are many here who are so helpful that
they can teach us. President-Emeritus Alston's
words at the Alumnae Weekend service revealed
his gracious gift of compassion. Faculty and cus-
todial workers, students and staff contribute to
this atmosphere of caring.

What magic do these healers possess? Mainly,
they listen.

They care for the people around them. They
seem sensitive to unspoken needs. They are
patient and they are kind.

They know how to say those important words
"How are you?" and then to lend the listening ear
when we tell them! They can even have a loving
sense of humor. Best of all, they know they
usually can't give us a solution but they can be
helpfully silent, and they respect the trust of our
confidence.

Because of these people, we can say with hope

"We will be heard!"

Letters To The Editor

Dear Profile Editor:

We wish to protest that Agnes
Scott has ignored a much dis-
criminated-against group on
campus. As I 1 :% of the student
body, we Midwesterners feel we
must assert our rights in order to
survive in the Southern jungle.
We are exposed constantly to the
propaganda stemming from a
beaten people's revenge. We are
held accountable for the alleged
atrocities of our ancestors. In re-
sponse to this persecution we
wish to here announce
formation of the MLA
Midwestern Liberation Army.
On coming to Georgia we were
forced to give up our food, our
culture, and to deny our way of
speech. Friendly greetings such
as "hey, you guys" were mocked
viciously. We were forced by the

blue laws and restrictive
religions to give upouroutlet for
frustrations stemming from this
repressive environment. How
humiliating to be fed grits each
day; how unhealthy to face
plates of every vegetable known
to man, all fried to a crisp! If
Southerners only knew how we
long to run barefoot through the
cornfields!

Next week we plan to submit
to the Curriculum Committee a
list of demands for courses meet-
ing our special needs. Among
the requirements we demand
are Voice and Diction 102 (Ad-
vanced VD) - How to Develop a
Twang; Climatic Variation and
Weather Prediction in the North
Central States; the Life of Father
Marquette; Iroquois Studies; the
Poetry of James Whitcomb Riley;

Soybean Farming.

To promote reverance for our
special heritage we wish to
declare, and will register on next
year's calendar, the week of
February 14 Midwest Emphasis
Week, especially commemorat-
ing Chicago's Saint Valentine's
Massacre of 1927, a turning point
in our nation's history. Special
activities include a beer festival
with beverages imported from
Milwaukee, a film of historic
moments from the Indianapolis
500, a reenactment of the
Chicago fire, and Detroit Diesel
Appreciation Day.

Thank you for this opportunity
allowing us to raise your
consciousness

At Least It Is A Step

by Nan Fabisinski
The proposed revision of the
drinking policy, which has been
a controversial issue at Agnes
Scott for so long, may soon be
resolved. The Administrative
Committee met two weeks ago
after Rep. Council voted in favor
of revising the current policy.
According to Dr. Perry, the Com-
mittee decided on a general
proposal which is somewhat of a
compromise between the
present and the extreme (i.e., li-
quor kept iin dormitory rooms at
the discretion of the students).
This proposal suggests that there
be a "drinking room" in each
dorm which would be open to
students twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week, and
open to men during regular male
visitation hours. Lockers for stor-
ing liquor would be rented at a
low cost to students wishing to
take advantage of the facility. All
liquor would be confined to the
designated room, much like it is
now at the beer parties on cam-
pus. Dr. Perry considers this type
of arrangements more satis-
factory than liquor kept freely in
students' rooms because of "liv-
ing conditions and health

reasons.

The committee is very op-
timistic about the success of the
revised policy, but as Dr. Perry
put it, "The ball is in Rep Coun-
cil's court now. It's up to them to
put some flesh on the bones of
our proposal."

By the time this article is
printed, Rep Council will have
already voted on the Ad-
ministrative Committee's
suggested policy in their Tuesday
night meeting. If passed there, it
will go back to the Ad-
ministrative Committee and
then to the Board of Trustees.

It is most important that
students look upon this issue as
one dealing with responsibility,
privilege, and the freedom of
choice which is inherent to the
rights of individuals. It is a grave
mistake to dwell on moralistic
beliefs when the members of a
community hold as many
different views on such matters
as do the students of this campus.
The Administrative Committee
has reached an intelligent and
apparently feasible compromise,
and students on both sides of the
issue should come together to
support this endeavor.

Tenure: A Complex Issue

Every new school year brings
fresh faces to Agnes Scott. Each
freshman class means an op-
portunity to make new friends
and hear new opinions. But it's
not very often that we see a com-
parable number of new faculty
members. The main reason for
this scarcity is tenure, a complex
issue, little talked about among
most students.

Basically defined, tenure in-
sures a faculty member's job un-
til he reaches retirement age.
Tenure may be either con-
tinuous or permanent. However,
its privileges are not automatic;
whenever a new faculty member
is appointed he must go through
a probation period, usually last-
ing seven years. During this time
effectiveness in the classroom is
evaluated. After the probation
period ends, tenure may be
granted.

Once tenured, a faculty
member may only be dismissed
for reasons of incompetence, on
moral grounds, or because of

any financial difficulties the
school may have. When I talked
to Dr. Perry about tenure, he em-
phasized that itsoriginal purpose
was to protect academic
freedom. Over a period of years
tenured faculty members can
lend continuity to various
departments and among the
college staff.

But along with the advantages
of tenure come its problems. If a
tenured faculty member is liable
for dismissal, adequate evidence
to support the decision must be
found. Also, the recent exten-
sion of the mandatory
retirement age to 70 means that
faculty already tenured will be
working longer delaying the hir-
ing of new members.

The advantages and problems
concerning tenure cannot be
totally illustrated in this column.
For more information about
tenure, consult the Faculty
Handbook of Agnes Scott
College.

Warren Brought Art to ASC

Ferdinand Warren is not only a
name known to art students and
much of the faculty, but a man
adored by those who know
him. He was responsible for
developing the art department
here at Agnes Scott as well as for
establishing the Dana Fine Arts
building. Mr. Warren deserves
many thanks and much respect
for his contributions to the
college community.

Mr. Warren was born in
Independence, Missouri; served
in the navy during World War I;
and started his career as an artist
for the Kansas City Star. He and
his wife moved to New York in
1926 where the city, the lights,
and the Ash Can tradition greatly
influenced hisart. In 1939, he was
elected to the National Academy
of Design, the oldest art
organization in the United
States. Established in the 1850's,
the National Academy is a great
honor to an artist. Membership is
limited to one hundred, and ad-
mittance is by recommendation.

Mr. Warren came to Agnes

by Nan Atkins
Scott in 1951 after a year as
Resident Artist at the University
of Georgia. He agreed to stay a
year and help create an art
department. This year lead into
six before President Wallace
Austin finally convinced him to
stay. As the department grew, it
moved from fourth Main to
fourth Buttrick to Dana. (Those
of you familiar with the building
and the department are fully
aware of the tremendous job Mr.
Warren has done.)

In 1958, Mr. Warren was com-
missioned by the college to paint
a portrait of Robert Frost. This is
the only portrait of Front painted
from life, and it hangs on the
second floor of the library. He
also painted the launching of
Apollo 14 for NASA, and is
represented in the permanent
collection in Washington, D.C.,
and in the Aeronautics Space
Museum of the Smithsonian
Institution.

Upon Mr. Warren's retirement
from Agnes Scott in 1969, Lamar

Doctor Offers Lecture

The majority of today's women
have accepted the cervical
cancer screening procedure
with the Papanicalaou (Pap) test
as a routine step in their personal
health care program, according
to Dr. Roger Rochet. He will
offer a free lecture on this sub-
ject on April 28th, Friday
evening, at the Fernbank Science
Center.

Beginning at 7:00 p.m. and las-
ting approximately an hour, the
program will be held in Clas-
sroom 1 of the Center which is
located at 156 Heaton Park Drive,
N.E., in Atlanta. The public is in-
vited.

Beginning at 7:00 p.m. and las-
ting approximately an hour, the
program will be held in Clas-
sroom 1 of the Center which is
located at 156 Heaton Park Drive,

N.E., in Atlanta. The public is in-
vited.

The evidence of Pap Smear
screening as it relates to lowering
of the mortality rate of cervical
cancer will be discussed by Dr.
Rochat.

The author of numerous scien-
tific publications and presen-
tations, the doctor is originally
from Kennewick, Washington.
He received his M.D. from the
University of Washington School
of Medicine in Seattle,
Washington. He was a National
Merit Scholarship Finalist and a
General Motors scholar, and in
1958, he received the Bausch and
Lomb Science Award.

He is affiliated with the
International Union for the
Scientific Study of Population.

Dodd, Regents Professor of Art
at the University of Georgia said,
"The career of Ferdinand
Warren testifies to the deep and
abiding influence of a man who
is more than an excellent
painter, but also a strong in-
fluence for cod in the cultural
life of the community ... He has
made his contribution to the
academic status of art instruction
in an excellent liberal arts
college ... The institutions of the
South are richer for his labors in
our vineyard/'

When asked, "What is art,"
Mr. Warren chuckled and called
it a hundred dollar question.
Then he thought a minute and
said, "That's what I do from
the inside out."

Mr. Warren's work and
inspiration will remain with
Agnes Scott forever. Some of his
paintings may be found around
campus. It is nice to have him
and his wife just over on Han-
cock Street because he is so
much a part of the college.

ASC Grads Become Successful Writers

Spring
Going

Many Agnes Scott students are
out there working off the winter
sags and you can be a part of all
the fun this spring in many of the
following ways.

TENNIS

The tennis team played one
match last week at Berry College
in Rome, Georgia. They played
well but did not win any mat-
ches. The team had tie breakers
in their doubles matches and
Kim Lenoir '81 split sets and lost
in the third set. The number on
doubles was defaulted so the
final score was Berry College: 8,
Agnes Scott College: 1.
SWIMMING

A swim meet will be held Tues-
day, May 9. If anyone wishes to

swim for their class, contact Lynn

Stonecypher '81.

SOCCER

Soccer practices are going well
and everyone is invited to play
on Mondays between 4:00-7:00
p.m., Wednesdays 5:00-7:00
p.m., and Thursdays 6:00-7:00
p.m.

SOFTBALL

In dorm softball last week,
Rebekah came from behind (12-
0) in the last inning to defeat
Main 13-12.

On Sunday, April 23, manyen-
thusiastic Scotty softball players
turned out to practice for the
Morris Brown game on Monday,
April 24. Even after the big
weekend, the team had a good
workout. Scott came in second.

How many successful alumnae
writers can you name? Catherine
Johnson has just been awarded a
Neiman Fellowship at Harvard.
She is also the new head of U.S.
News and World Report.
Marybeth Little Weston is
garden editor of House and
Garden and was editor of The
New York Times Sunday
Magazine. Elizabeth Stevenson's
book, Park Maker, was
nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
These are a few.

Agnes Scott has graduated
close to one hundred writers,
each successful in her own right.

are like those of other Scott

A unique opportunity to study
this summer with Nobel laureate
Konrad Lorenz, the dis-
tinguished psychoanalyst Erik
Erikson, and the two-time
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer
Robert Penn Warren was an-
nounced yesterday by the
Washington, D.C., office of the
International Institute for
Humanistic Studies of Geneva,
Switzerland. Erikson, also a
Pulitzer Prize-winner, will teach
in July under the auspices of the
Institute at Bennington College,
Bennington, Vermont. Robert
Penn Warren will also teach
there later in the month with the
criticCleanth Brooks. Lorenz will
teach in June at his research
institute in Altenberg, Austria,
near Vienna.

Enrollment in the intensive
week-long courses is open to
both undergraduate and
graduate students throughout
the United States, as well as to
faculty and professionals, ac-
cording to an Institute spokes-
man. The purposes of the
summer program, the spokes-
man said, is to allow students to
study first-hand with some of the

students; they are alert, in-
quisitive, sensitive, and hard
working.

Their advice to prospective
authors is: Write everything.
Keep a journal and record your
impressions, opinions, and ideas.
Write for the school paper and
the literary publication. Send
articles and stories to suitable
magazines don't be afraid of a
rejection slip. Local and regional
magazines, not to mention
national publications such as
Seventeen and Mademoiselle
are excellent places to begin
sending your material.

Each year Mademoiselle
presents their College Board

great thinkersand scholars of the
century. The program is
intended to eliminate the usual
barriers of institutional af-
filiation, national boundaries
and academicschedules. Konrad
Lorenz will teach from June 11 -
17 in Austria, and Erik Erikson
from July 9-15 in Vermont.
Robert Penn Warren and
Cleanth Brooks will teach
together from July 23-29 at Ben-
nington. Students may opt to
take the courses for credit.

Contest. Contestants are given
three writing assignments during
the year. From the judging of
these articles is chosen a panel of
student editors who put together
that year's college issue. In the
past, half a dozen Scott students
have been guest editors, one of
whom is Mrs. Weston. Because
of her participation in the
contest, she later received a
position as an editor and began
her career as a writer.

If you wish to do extra studies
in writing, try a post-graduate
school of journalism and
remember Mrs. Weston's words,
"The better writers are liberal
arts graduates."

Enrollment for credit in one of
the courses is $300 for three
undergrduate credits or two
graduate credits; enrollment as
non-credit students is $230.
Participants going to Bennington
will be provided with week-long
room and board there for $110,
while those going to Altenberg
will live in Vienna. Inquiries may
be sent to the Summer Program

DC Holding Workshop

by Betsy Broadwell

On Sunday, May 7, from 2:00 -
5:00 p.m., Dorm Council will
hold a Spring Workshop for the
new board.

Dorm Council hopes to ac-
complish several things during
the workshop that will be of help
to the new and old members.

There will be a discussion of
the constitution that will include
the responsibilities of the
members. Mrs. Miriam Drucker,
Professor of Psychology, will
speak to the members on how to
be more aware of problems in
the dorm, for example, how to
deal with freshman
homesickness.

There will also be a discussion
of and presentation of the com-

mittees for next year. The com-
mittees to be discussed are:

1) the maintenance committee
which deals with storage and
problems in the dorm, 2) orien-
tation activities for freshmen 3)
the health center, which will
provide a list of common
ailments and cures for them that
the members will learn to use on
the halls, 4) the guide book for
council members will be revised,
and 5) there will be a discussion
of elections for next year and
how to better inform people
who want to run for Dorm Coun-
cil and Interdorm about the
types of positions they will hold.

The workshop should be
helpful and a success.

Blackfriars Present a Parody on Love

by Ralee Cates
, Blackfriars' spring production,
PALPITATING PASSIONS:
FROM GALAXY GALLANTS TO
CAPRICIOUS CAVALIERS, is a
bright and humorous collection
of scenes from plays and short
stories - all spoofs on affairs of
the heart-assembled by director
Carol Aycock, Theatre professor,
especially for this play season.
PASSIONS features material that
covers "someday in a far away
future" to King Arthur's day. The
curtain rises on "Iron John and
Tin Lizzie," a scene about two
love-smitten robots adapted
from Stephen Leacock's short
story. The show closes with what
has been called the funniest
scene ever written, the final
scene from Henry Fielding's
TOM THUMB THE GREAT.
Sandwiched between these are
scenes by Shaw, Thurber,
Sheridan, Wilde, and a spoof on
the famous "Play it again Sam"

scene from CASABLANCA.

Mrs. Aycock is not a stranger
to this kind of production. She
put together DeKalb College's
successful productions of
COMEDY SHOWCASE and
LOVE SHOW. She began work-
ing on this kind of production at
the University of Hartford when
putting together T.V. shows.
Mrs. Aycock has enjoyed her
special talents in this show and it
promises to be an evening of ex-
citement.

Mrs. Aycock said that the cast
is one of the most innovative and
energetic she has worked with in
a long time. It numberers twenty
in all and includes actors,
musicians, and dancers. It is a
total production, everyone is in-
volved. An ordinary musician
becomes an exciting torch singer
and props are waltzed around by
costumed prop runners. The en-
tire show promises to be a fan-
tastic extravaganza of music,

dance, and comedy. Mrs.
Aycock has employed stylized
directorial techniques to give the
scenes consistency.

The show has offered Mr.
Steve Griffin, Theatre p/ofessor,
many innovative lighting and set
design opportunities. The cos-
tumes turn into a riot of color,
and Dana is in a flurry of ex-
citement! Blackfriars are very
proud of PALPITATING PAS-
SIONS and know that all will
share in the enthusiasm. The
show runs May 12, 13, 19, and 20.
The curtain rises at 8:15 p.m.

The cast is: Ellen All, Paul
Burke, Maggie Evans '80, Ferris
Goodrum, Rick Gordon, Carol
Gorgus, Susan Harris '80, Larry
Hepburn, Tim Hickman, Bill
Holt, Jennifer Knight '80, John
Kohler, Lisa Lee '80, Linda
McGinnis 79, Lisa Merrifield '81,
Matty Milano, Christine Silvio,
Marietta Townsend '81.

Listening In On Rep Council

by Janet McDonald
Two important issues were dis-
cussed in Rep Council two weeks
ago. The Council voted to accept
the proposed revisions of the
drinking policy that were ex-
tended by the Administrative
Committee. The Committee
suggested that each dorm should
have a certain room where
alcoholic beverages could be
stored in individual lockers and
consumed in these rooms only.
The tentative location of these
rooms are:

Main: basement recreation
room; Inman: room behind

hostess desk; Walters: guest or
T.V. room; Rebekah: date parlor;
Winship: room beside hostess
desk; and Hopkins: date parlor.

Rep Council members
stressed that a student would be
able to use the drinking rooms in
any of the dorms on invitation.
The new policy would prohibit
storage of alcohol in students'
rooms.

The new policy returns to the
Administrative Committee for
voting.

Also voted upon was whether
or not to renew the constitution

of G-PIRG as ii now stands. Rep
voted to renew the organization,
with the stipulation that G-PIRG
would withdraw its financial sup-
port of the ftate office ($1200 an-
nually) to become an on-campus
group.

Becky Johnson 78, current
president of the ASC chapter of
G-PIRG, emphasized that under
the new arrangement G-PIRG
would provide valuable
resources for use by people
interested in or needing in-
formation about community
projects and organizations.

Chamber Players Present Spring Concert

The Atlanta Chamber Players
will present their Spring Concert
May 8 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser.
Sponsored by the Agnes Scott
music department, the concert is
open to the- public, free of
charge.

The program features Arnold
Schoen berg's "Chamber

Symphony, Opus 9," originally
written for 15 wind, brass and
string players. The Atlanta
Chamber Players will perform an
arrangement by Anton Webern,
Schoenberg's student, for five
players on flute, clarinet, violin,
cello and piano.
The concert will also include

Johann Hummel's "Quartet in E-
flat" for clarinet, violin, viola and
cello, David Amram's "Dis-
cussion for Flute, Cello, Piano
and Percussion" and an
arrangement of George Frederic
Handel's "Water Music Suite."

The seven members of the
Atlanta Chamber Players are
Melanie Cramer, flute; Robert
Brown, clarinet; Bradley Stewart,
violin; Marian Kent, viola;
Dorothy Hall Lewis, cello; Paula
Peace, piano; and Scott Douglas,
percussion. The ensemble,
founded in 1976, is in residence
at Agnes Scott.

Schoenberg wrote his
"Chamber Symphony" in 1906
during his so called "post-Straus-
sian" period. Though the piece is
in E major, parts of it indicated
that Schoenberg was then mov-
ing toward atonality, according
to Paula Peace, pianist and
president of the Atlanta
Chamber Players.

Amram's "Discussion," com-

posed in 1965, shows evidence of
the composer's interest in jazz,
according to Peace. "Dis-
cussion" combines aspects of the
"cool" jazz idiom with dissonant
counterpoint, she explained.
The piece calls for percussion
instruments such as snaredrum,
bongos, timpani and xylophone.

Hummel, composer of the
"Quartet in E-flat," was a student
of Mozart, Cleminti and Haydn.
His "Quartet" includes one
movement in which each
instrument plays in a different
time signature, an event unusual
for the Classical period.

The Atlanta Chamber Players'
concert is the second of two sup-
ported by a grant from the
Georgia Council for the Arts and
Humanities and from the
National Endowment for the
Arts. Such grants, in addition to
gifts from members of Friends of
the Chamber Players, enable the
Atlanta Chamber Players tc
present concerts free of charge

and to make concert tours such
as the one planned for October,
1978 through south Georgia and
north Florida.

Out-side

by Ruth Ann Relyea
The mountain communities of
Willow Island, West Virginia are
mourning the loss of 51 men who
died April 27 when a scaffold on
which the men were working
collapsed. The men were making
repairs on the cooling tower of a
power plant, a plant that had
evidenced many violations,
some serious, in the past five
years.

U.S. President jimmy Carter at-
tributes his drop in popularity (a
recent Gallup poll found that
only 39% of Americans were
happy with Carter's
performance) to a "fuzziness" in
the perception of his presidency.
To clarify his image, he plans to
focus on specific "priority"
measures every two to three
weeks. The first issue gaining
such attention is Civil Service
reform.

A federal grand jury in Atlanta
is investigating Bert Lance's ban-

king activities, following the
conclusion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the
Comptroller of the Currency
that Lance had engaged in
"fraud and deceit" and violated
securities laws while headingthe
Calhoun First National Bank and
the National Bank of Georgia.
Lance settled the charges of the
two federal agencies by signing a
consent decree in which he ad-
mitted no wrong doings, and
promised to end his irregular
banking practices.

In a speech before a group of
Georgia Tech ROTC cadets, Maj.
General John Singlaub called
Carter's policies "militarily un-
sound", and criticized the
president's decision to halt work
on the neutron bomb. Speaking
out against the president is, by
military code, evidence that the
officer has decided to retire, and
Carter made no move to prevent
Singlaub's retirement.

A Rome newspaper received a
letter from Italian premier Aldo
Moro last Saturday. The
handwritten letter begged the
Christian Democrats and the
Pope to bargain with the Red
Brigades for his release.

Watergate conspirator John
Ehrlichman was released April 27
from a federal prison in Safford,
Arizona, after serving an 18-
month sentence for perjury and
conspiracy. He would not discuss
his future plans, but announced
that his second novel will be
published late this year.

Mike Thevis of Atlanta, head
of a pornography empire, es-
caped from the Floyd County jail
in New Albany, Indiana, on April
29. A close friend and business
ally, who had visited Thevis
shortly before his escape, has
been arrested as a material
witness.

Can (May) I Speak To You?

One of the benefits of a small college is the uninhibited exchange
of conversation between students, faculty, and administration.
Unlike a large university, where a class may be taught by a closed
circuit television, we have the unique opportunity to become well
acquainted with the faculty as well as the administration.

This opportunity exists in the Agnes Scott community, but it is not
utilized. There seems to be a feeling of uneasiness associated with this
opportunity. This feeling may be due to the fear of being factually
inacurate with our statements, the fear of saying what "they" don't
want to hear, and if we do say something that is unacceptable, then it
may be held against us. All of these apprehensions are due to the fact
that many students have not been encouraged to come in contact
with either the faculty or the administration outside the academic
domain.

One may argue that anyone has the opportunity to make an ap-
pointment with any member of the faculty of the administration (dur-
ing their office hours) to discuss whatever they so desire. But many
students are not going to take the initiative to penetrate the bastion
of third floor Buttrick if they do not have an academically related
question. An unrelated question seems to be an imposition on their
time.

At other small colleges, both the faculty and the administration can
be found engaged in conversation with studentson neutral grounds.
It is not unusual to see a professor dining with students or having a
cup of coffee outside the sanctuary of the faculty lounge. This
interaction of students and faculty is generally spontaneous and not
by appointment or invitation only.

Hopefully the students, faculty, and administration on this campus
can initiate a concerted effort to change this awkward situation.

Letters to the Editor

Having a Good Time

Dear Editor.

Thank you for the great review
that was given to the Junior Jaunt
Talent Show. I would like to
repeat my thanks to all who
participated in the show.

However, there was one im-
portant group of special people
who were overlooked in your
article. Without my energetic,
dependable committee
members, Robin Kessler. Julie
Johnston. Virginia Lee, Genyne
Long, Crystal Singleton, and
Dacia Small, the talent show
could not have been the success
it was. Julie and I appreciate the
credit given us in last week s is-
sue of the Profile, but we both
agree that hard work was done
by all and the recognition should

be theirs also.

Sincerelv.
Diane Peterson

Dear Profile Editor:

I would like to add a note to
Janet McDonald's article on
tenure. Teaching (at all levels) is a
low-paying occupation. In the
past, teachers at least have had
job security. Now that most
colleges and universities have
the collective mentality of used-
car lots, their teachers will no
longer have any security. Who,
then, will be attracted to the
profession? Who will give ten
years of his/her life to a profes-
sion that offers third-rate pay
and no security? Only the
weakest members of a society.

And a note about age and

Georgia Tech's newspaper,

I happened to find myself in a
popular Peachtree Street
drinkery one evening not too
long ago. The place was just
beginning to fill and as I sat at the
bar, beer in hand, I watched the
regulars file in from the warm,
breezy evening. My thoughts
wandered until I chanced to
observe the rather nondescript
entrance of a rather obvious
Techman (I hate that word but it
is so appropriate.) At his side was
an almost as obvious "Scottie."

The reason for my interest in
the pair is unclear. There was
certainly nothing very different
about them. In fact, there was
nothing different about them at
all. Before my eyes stood a four-
legged, two-headed, ambisexual
stereotype. I could feel the ex-
citement at my discovery
building.

He stood in the foyer about six
feet tall, clad in khaki pants, a
blue Izod shirt, and a pair of
those dumb-looking white-
soled shoes with the leather
laces. A small blue alligator

competence. And though Pepsi-
minds will not allow this pos-
sibility, age can and does bring a
kind of wisdom.

Sincerely,

(English Department)

Dear Editor.

I address this letter to you
because I do not know to whom
to address this response to a
photo the Profile ran last week. I
noticed the picture of a fellow
student on the faculty bulletin
board in the mailroom with the
caption "If you educate a man,
you educate an individual, if you
educate a women, you educate a
family." I saw that two red "No"s
had been scralwed on the
border. Is there a member of the

pocket. The girl measured up to
his shoulder. A khaki skirt hung
from her green shirt to her
knees. Her shoes were smaller
but just as dumb-looking. Her
alligator had good reason to be
smiling.

They took a table and ordered
beers. Soon they were joined by
another couple in strikingly
similar attire. I could tell this was
going to be a big night for
stereotypes. And I didn't even
used to believe in the damn
things. For a while when I was
younger I thought that kids with
glasses were really smarter. Then
I got a pair and that idea went out
the window. So did the glasses.

By nine o'clock the joint was
hopping. The khaki kids had
multiplied like rabbits. All that
khaki reminded me of seeing
The Longest Day at a drive-in
movie. Strange color, khaki.

There was a disc jockey playing
fifties records while a horde of*
look-alikes jammed the dance
floor. Those little alligators were
going to town. I never realized
just how dumb those shoes
looked until seeing sixty of them
in random motion.

I watched the proceedings for
some time, and then the fellow
whom I had first noticed came
up to the bar. Seems he lost his

faculty - or anyone at this four
year liberal arts college for
young women, who believes that
women having and educating
families is degrading or dis-
tasteful? Why "No"? (men also
have 'em; remember, it takes
two.)

One of the first lessons we
learn here is that a woman can
have a family, a career, OR both.
Women who have families, with
or without careers, are fun-
damental in the shaping of new
minds and therefore the future.

Here we are not pressured to
decide which route we shall
travel; rather, we are taught how
to decide, basing our decisions
on our knowledge of personal
goals, of "the outside world",
and of self. Why "No"?

date in the mess. I can
understand how it might
happen. Izod shirts only come in
so many colors. Duplicates were
abundant; the girl probably got
confused and left with the wrong

guy.

The blue gator fellow got a
beer and sat a couple of feet
away from me, watching the
bubbles rise. I decided to strike
up a conversation.

"Hey, how come all you guys
dress alike?"

"Huh?" he replied as he
looked up.

"You're all wearing the same
clothes," I offered, "Why?"

"What else are you going to
wear?"

"Ever hear of blue jeans?"

He looked at me blankly, then
returned to the bubbles.

Now I figured it was my right as
a drunk person to get an answer
from this guy. Besides, if he hit
me I probably woudn't feel it
anyway.

"Do you always listen to
twenty-year-old music?" I asked,
grinning.

"Naw, I like the Beach Boys,
too."

Well, we just progressed ten
years, so I continued.

"What the hell's the matter
with you anyway?"

I was getting bolder. I ordered
another beer.

"What?" he yelled.

He was beginning to come to
life.

"I don't mean just you," I ven-
tured, "I mean all of you. You
guys dress alike, act alike, listen
to outdated music and wear
stupid-looking shoes. What's go-
ing on?"

He looked at my feet and then
started to speak. "We dress alike
because we are alike. We can
recognize each other. We
believe in the same thing.

"What, are you Moonies or
something?"

"No, Moonies can't have
cars," he replied.

I was becoming confused.

"We all have cars," he added.
"We believe in having a good
time. That's all that matters."

I was shocked. I was thinking

Good Friday, 1978. Sitting Northward

by Ginni Rockwell,
Junior Year Abroad

As it happens it is Easter Sun-
day rather than Good Friday, and
I huddle in a rather more
westerly direction today in order
to face the grate where the coal
alternately smokes and blazes.
Yet as I began the "nulling"
process for this piece on Friday, it
seems unimportant that my pen
actually reached paper only
today. In addition to, or above
and beyond, all that, I couldn't
resist the temptation to make
some feeble English-major
literary allusion.

I've spent the afternoon
reading, with grim and amused
recognition, essays from Joan
Didion's collection, Slouching
Towards Bethlehem. Things do
fall apart, the center cannot hold
- or so it feels to me, the victim of
a splitting headache. My
problem is more truly just the
reverse: in the center of my
forehead my sinuses hold
everything and nothing falls
apart. The result is upper-story
overcrowding worthy of any
tenement. The image of my head
as a slum is uncomfortably ac-
curate.

In early January I began writ-
ing about St. Andrean life. I
wanted not to glamorize, roman-
ticize, or travelogue-ize. After
all, I'm not on anybody's payroll
to write alluring copy about
this place. Any effort in that style
would be less subtle and less
effective than SEE ROCK CITY
painted on barns and birdhouses
all over the South. So after four
pages of simple analysis of pub
life, I putthearticleon hold. Sap-
piness I feared greatly. Anyway,
Lynda gave you the spiel on
martyrs, castles, and malt
whiskey, and I can't give you
much more in that vein except to
tell you which whiskey I prefer
and that I take it neat, please. Just
so you know where my interests
lie.

Nor have I done the grand tour
of the continent while on my
Scottish sojourn, so I can't give
any advice on How To Backpack
Through Nine Countries on Ten
Dollars a Day. I did travel in

England, Wales, and Ireland at
Christmas, and will head for the
Hebrides next week, but all I
have to say on those Ten Dollars
is that they amount to fewer and
fewer pounds over here. Soon I
fear I may be hitting up my
parents for copper slugs rather
than American dollars, as the ex-
change rate may be better for
them. The sign on Jimmy Carter's
desk which reads "The Buck
Stops Here" is beginning to ex-
hibit some irony. All those bucks
are being dropped on the Oval
Office desk precisely because
they aren't worth a damn to
anybody else.

Unable to resist another
literary cheap shot, I must add
that any decisions of allusion to
Henry James' "international
theme" are quickly dispelled by
a look at the facts. I fit in neither
The Portrait of a Lady nor The
Wings of the Dove; The
Awkward Age would be a more
appropriate title for my current
plight. I hesitate to use the word
"plight" because it indicates a
certain amount of helplessness,
self-pity, and "Stuckness", all of
which I hope to avoid in what is
better termed my - or our, as we
are peers - "situation". I came
abroad to cure an almost chronic
case of Sophomore Slump, in the
same manner as the English aris-
tocracy once "took the waters"
at Bath and Cheltenham Spas,
and as American asthmatics now
head for Arizona. It is possible
that no such drastic measure was
needed; for most Scotties the
transition to Junior status is
enough. Yet I feared the even
more insidious "Jitters" of that
year, and in the tradition of all
good American expatriates -
Henry James, Ernest Hemingway,
Eldridge Cleaver, Timothy Leary
and Vietnam draft evaders
among them - I fled the country.
Apparently my parents feared an
analogous disease - The Rat
Race, I believe it is called - as they
left a home in the American
suburbs for a house, a cook, and
a chauffeured car in the Philip-
pines. Their exodus followed my
own by only six weeks.

The analogous or even iden-
tical complaints which prompted

both my emigration and my
family's bring me back to the
topics of Joan Didion's essays. It
seems true that for Americans
things fall apart, the center can-
not hold. That dissipating center
is the middle-class, mid-life, or
mid-college crises with which
Ms. Didion's writing is
concerned. The center cannot
hold because it is forced apart by
the centrifugal force of the
whirling activity of American life.
Sophomore Slump is only a
specially-adapted form of the
general malaise: The Great
American Rat Race.

The cure seemed obvious to
me: slow down! I wracked my
brain for ways of achieving what I
call "slouth" (that's not the same
as sloth; I'm an overachiever in
that department.) Let me see, I
could have dropped out of ASC
to join the larger rat race called
work, an idea aborted almost at
conception. I could have
transferred to State U. and been
caught up in the rat race called
Partying. I could have joined a
commune, worked on a ranch in
the Sierras, or hitchhiked to
California. None of these op-
tions were particularly "me",
and the Haight, Hare Krishna,
and macrobiotic diets went out
over a decade ago anyway. All
possibilities within the U.S. of A.
were exhausted. What was left
was that nebulous entity called
Junior Year Abroad. By
November of my Sophomore
year, I had risen to the bait. By
January, I was accepted to St. An-
drews, and by the following
September my duffel bags were
packed.

Library Expands Browsing Section

by Nan Fabisinski
During the month of April, the
Agnes Scott library added several
new books to its Browsing Sec-
tion. This selection includes a
variety of subjects which ought
to appeal to any student who has
the time and the inclination to
scan through them.

Under the fictional topics are
the following titles: The Step-
daughter - Caroline Blackwood;
Dynasty - Robert S. Elgant;
Murders Anonymous - E. X.
Ferrars; September, September -
Shelby Foote; The Human Factor
- Graham Green; The Grab -

Maria Katzenbach; Chinaman's
Chance - Ross Thomas.

The non-fiction category
offers these books: Margaret -
James Brough; God's Images -
James Dickey; Letters to Marie -
Dwight David Eisenhower; A
Time of Gifts - Patrick Leigh
Fermors; Autobiography of
Values - Charles Augustus
Lindbergh; Adlai Stevenson and
the World- John Bartlow Martin;
The Woman's Dress for Success
Book - John T. Malloy; Chance
Meetings - William Saroyan; and
The Redbook Report on Female
Sexuality - Carol Travis.

Last Monday an experiment was
tried out using unaware Scotties as
guinea pigs. The hot water was
turned off in all of the dorms. The
purpose of the experiment was to
increase class attendance by in-
creasing the showering schedule in
the dormifories. Lab reports show
that both attendance and morale
nose-dived as a result of the cold
showers. The scientists have
terminated the experiment and are
looking for another catalyst to
stimulate class attendance.

Tennis Tourney at Scott Food For 500 No Easy Task

was hoped that the yogurt
machine would eventually pay
for itself. However, interest in
the novely of frozen yogurt on
campus has waned and sales
have not been as great as ex-
pected.

One may also argue for
reduced operating costs. Many
believe that it would be finan-
cially feasible to install a
conveyor belt to minimize labor
time which is spent on bussing
tables and, hence, an operating
cost. However, the architecture
of the upper dining hall does not
facilitate the installation of such a
mechanism. According to Mrs.
Betty Saunders, food dietician,
the most efficient means of bus- *
sing dishes are those presently
used.

The rising cost of food makes it
difficult to maintain a budget.
Fresh vegetables are as expen-
sive as meats, due to poor
weather conditions in the
locations which are primary
sources for many of our
vegetables. Mexico, for exam-
ple, has had such rainy weather
that there has been great dif-
ficulty in transporting produce
to market. Tomatoes which once
sold for $4.50 per container are
now selling for $16.00. Cheaper
vegetables, such as starches, are
being used to stabilize the food
budget.

In response to the complaints
concerning the choices on the
menu, Mrs. Saunders says one
can obtain a nutritionally ba-
lanced meal if one selects

properly. In addition to the
salads, there are usually three
vegetables at dinner and two at
lunch. One may find at least one
non-starch vegetable included.
With the exception of a few
canned goods, most green
vegetables are frozen. Meats
generally are fresh; fish is frozen.

In addition, the waste of food
is prevalent. Many students seem
to be unconscious of the valueof
the food which remains on the
table after a meal. Expensive
items, such as peanut butter, cat-
chup, and orange juice, are left
in great quantities. One cannot
help wondering when someone
complains about food when
money in the form of wasted
food is being deposited in the
dumpster behind the dining hall.

Another point to be taken into
consideration is the amount of
time involved in the preparation
of food. Breakfast is begun at
5:45 a.m., lunch is started at 7:00
a.m., and dinner preparations
begin at 9:45 a.m.

Although food here at Agnes
Scott is not quite what one's
mother might serve at home,
one must realize that mother's
kitchen does not serve 500
people each day. However,
should anyone continue to have
complaints about the food
situation, one should address
them to Mrs. Saunders in the
dining hall. She welcomes
suggestions and is willing to
attempt to adapt menus to
student preferences.

Women s tennis teams from 16
Georgia colleges and universities
will compete in the Second An-
nual Women's Small College
State Tennis Tournament May 4-
7 and at Emory University. Spon-
sored by the Georgia Association
for Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women (GAIAW), the
tournament will qualify winners
for regional and national
competition sponsored by the
Association for Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women (AIAW).

The GAIAW Tournament
begins Thursday, May 4, at both
Agnes Scott and Emory with
singles matches at 9:00 and 10:30
a.m.. 12:00 and 1:30 p.m. and
doubles at 4:00 p.m. Semifinals
play begins Friday, May 5 at
Emory with doubles at 9:00 and
11:30 a.m. and singles at 2:00
p.m.

Finals competition is Saturday,
May 6, at Emory at 8:00 a.m. for
singles and 12:00 p.m. for
doubles. In case of rain, finals
will be played Sunday, May 7, at
the Saturday times. All matches
are open to the public, free of
charge.

Awards will be presented on
the Emory courts after the
doubles finals. Individuals

A search for vacationing
teachers and college students to
fill 30,000 job openings this
summer has been launched by
Manpower, Inc., the world's
largest temporary help firm.

"There is an acute shortage of
skilled secretarial and office
workers in most parts of the
country," Mitchell S. Fromstein,
President of Manpower, Inc.,
said. "Teachers and college
students possess many of the
skills which are in extremely
short supply. We can give these
people as much work as they
want through any of our 550 of-
fices around the country,"
Fromstein said.

Manpower's summer hiring of
teachers and college students,
up 20% over last year, is part of
the nearly 4,000,000 private sec-
tor jobs the U.S. Labor
Department predicts will be
filled this summer.

A recent survey of 6,000
businessmen on their hiring ex-
pectations for the next three
months (April, May and June)
conducted by Manpower, Inc.
indicates strong hiring levels for
the start of this summer season,
with the West, Mid-West and
South showing the strongest hir-
ing plans. Nonetheless, Man-
power can use teachers and

receive engraved plaques ^nd
teams receive trophies.

The GAIAW Second Annual
Small College Tournament is a
single elimination tournament of
six flights of singles competition
and three flights of doubles.
Participating teams are from
institutions with enrollments of
undergraduate women of 3,000
or less. The GAIAW Tournament
for large colleges was held
earlier this month at Mercer
University, Macon, Georgia.

Colleges and universities
participating in the Small
College Tournament are Agnes
Scott College, Armstrong State
College, Augusta College, Berry
College, Brenau College,
Columbus College, Emory
University, Georgia College,
Georgia Southwestern College,
Georgia Institute of Technology,
Mercer University of Atlanta,
North Georgia College, Shorter
College, Tift College, Valdosta
State College and West Georgia
College.

Co-directors of the
tournament are Ms. Ann
McConnell, Agnes Scott's tennis
coach and PE Instructor and past
president of GAIAW, and Mr.
Don Schroer, Emory's tennis
coach.

Those who complain about
the quality of food in the dining
hall here at Agnes Scott should
stop to consider all the factors
which proceed the actual serving
of the food. These factors not
only include the actual food
which is cooked and served but
also an attempt to maximize cost
efficiency, the nutritional value
of the food, waste, and
preparation time. As everyone
served in the dining hall cannot
be pleased at all times, one must
be realistic concerning criticism
of the food.

An essential consideration of
the food situation is that of cost
efficiency. Out of a total budget
allocation of $431,545 for the
1976-77 session, approximately
$182,000 was spent on food
alone. $150,000 was paid out in
the form of wages and salaries to
24 full-time and 15 part-time em-
ployees. The remainder covered
such costs as equipment and
supplies, linen rentals, and
benefits to labor. Although one
may question the fact that the
amount of money spent on food
is less than other costs, there is
little one can do to avoid these
additional costs of food
preparation and the operation of
a dining hall facility.

The kitchen is furnished with
old equipment which is replaced
only as it wears out. New
equipment has an expensive
price tag. For example, the
yogurt machine in the Hub was
purchased at a cost of $4737. It

Ronald Wilde Retires From Math Dept. Maribeth Kouts

Receives Award

by Betsy Broadwell
Ronald Wilde, Professor of
Mathematics since 1965, is retir-
ing this year.

Mr. Wilde is originally from
Massachusetts. He attended the
University of New Hampshire
and then embarked on a thirty
year career with the U.S. Marine
Corps. He retired from the
Marines in 1964 and went on to
Duke University for his Masters.

When asked about his major
impressions of Agnes Scott Mr.
Wilde said, "The key features are
the small size and the personal
nature of dealing with the
students and getting to know
them individually. It makes
teaching here enjoyable. The
students appear to be responsive
and interested. It makes meeting
them everyday a pleasure and
not a chore."

When Mr. Wilde leaves Agnes
Scott he will "look around for a
third career, but probably spend
more time on golf than another
career!"

He is interested in keeping in
touch and wants to know how
everyone does. He said, "I am
not necessarily looking forward
to leaving. I will miss the as-
sociation with students more
than the college as an
institution."

Due to the renovation of But-
trick over the summer, all of the
offices will have to be cleaned
out. Therefore, Mr. Wilde feels
he "picked a good year to
leave." He will escape moving
back in.

Mr. Wilde has contributed
much to the campus and the
mathematical minds here during
his thirteen years and he will be
greatly missed. We wish him
good luck and hope his golf
game improves with the extra
playing time.

Professors Awarded Grants

by Carol Gorgus

Professors Ed Johnson, David
Behan, and Linda Woods have
been awarded study grants from
the National Endowment of
Humanities. The NEH is a
program of summer seminars for
teachers in two and four year
colleges. The program proposes
to give teachers an opportunity
to increase their knowledge and
pursue research on a particular
facet of their field of curriculum.

A limited number of teachers are
chosen from applications for
each seminar. Participants are
each awarded a twenty five hun-
dred dollar grant for expenses.

Dr. Johnson will be attending a
seminar entitled "America in
International Economy Since
1800." It is hosted by the
University of Wisconsin and
directed by Dr. Morton
Rothstein.

Dr. Behan will spend his
seminar at Brown University. His

topic is "Philisophic Problems
About the Self", directed by Dr.
Rodrick M. Chisolm.

The program provides our
professors with an opportunity
to discuss and research their
chosen topics with qualified
directors and gives them access
to a large university library. They
will then be able to incorporate
their summer research into their
teaching and enrich our learning
experience.

Maribeth Kouts, '80, has been
awarded the DeKalb Council for
the Arts Young Artist Award. She
is also recipient of ASC's Nanette
Hopkins Music Scholarship.

Awards are nothing new to
Maribeth. Her high school years
were a steady stream of singing
honors and opportunities, in-
cluding the leading roles in her
school's productions of
"Camelot", "Oklahoma," and
"The Sound of Music."

An asset to . her musical
interests is the enthusiasm of her
entire family. Her sister, Nanette,
a junior at ASC, enjoys singing,
and at one time everyone in her
family performed with the
Decatur Civic Chorus.

Maribeth was filmed recently
for a segment of a PBS television
show which will be aired in the
near future. The show features
young and aspiring performers
of all talents.

Ms. Durham Discusses
New Concept of Color

Carol Durham's lecture, A
SENSE OF COLOR: MODULAR
COLOR, deals with the theory
and application of coordinated
color. Her lecture is a brief but
concise course in making color
work in oils and acrylic polymer
paints. The lecture is open to the
public, and will be at 2:00 p.m.
on May 17, second floor of Dana.

Ms. Durham does not paint
pictures in her demonstration
she shows techniques and color
relationships that apply to all
creative endeavors. The
MODULAR concept simplifies
the subject of color by iden-
tifying colors according to hue,
value, and chroma.

Recently, Ms. Durham has
worked with Nathaniel Jacob-
son, originator of this new
concept of MODULAR Color.

This innovative color theory is
discussed in Ms. Durham's lec-
ture/demonstration.

Sponsored by Permanent
Pigments, Ms. Durham's lectures
have explained acrylic polymer
painting techniques at many art
schools, colleges, and
universities in the United States
and Canada. As a lecturer and
artist/consultant, Ms. Durham
has exchanged ideas with many
established artists and en-
thusiastic newcomers.

In addition, Ms. Durham's
paintings have received awards
in national exhibitions and have
been featured in many one-man
shows throughout the South.
Ms. Durham holds a M.A. degree
in art and has taught at the
university level.

Saturday Night Live: Watch Out For Mimi!

"I had such a good time host-
ing the Junior Jaunt Talent
Show, that I looked around and
decided that what I want to do is
host Saturday Night five/* is how
Mimi Holmes describes her cam-

paign to be auditioned for the
show, "and then one night at P
by C. . ."

Mimi has been an aficionado
of Saturday Night Live since her
sophomore year. When the

show held a contest for a guest
host, she sent in three postcards,
but was not chosen. "I guesss I
was too serious, because I
wanted it so much," she ex-
plains, but she's still determined
to get on the show.

Shortly after the talent show,
she drew up a petition that
read: "We, the undersigned,
wish to express our desire that
Mimi Holmes be auditioned to
become a member of the Not
Ready Eor Prime Time Players,
or, at the very least, beallowed to
hose the show and have her
choice of musical group." The
petition was posted in the dining
hall, and Mimi hoped for 500
signatures.

Along with the petition and
various letters of recommen-
dation, Mimi is writing a resume
to send to the producers. The
resume will list her
qualifications, including "un-
noted impressionist", "brilliant
conversationalist", and "good
arm wrestler". Her arm is a bit

out of practice, but she used to
arm wrestle every day in high
school during homeroom. "It's
great for releasing frustrations,"
Mimi feels, and she even took on
some foreign competition when
she went to Italy in 1976.

Mimi considers Saturday Night
Live "one of the most exciting
things being done on TV today."
She enjoys all the skits, and the
general spontaneity of the show,
plus the fact that it's very up-to-
date. If she's chosen to host the
show, she hopes to have either
Carole King or Sy Timmons as
her musical group.

Mimi has a considerable
amount of experience in acting,
having been in 21 plays in the
past ten years, but enjoys skits
and routines as well. "I did 'San-
dra Dee's Night of Hell' at least
eight times in the dining hall by
request." Although she enjoys
"any role that's a challenge",
some of her favorites are Dodo
the Clown in "The Clown Who
Ran Away," which she

performed with Theatre
Jacksonville's (Florida)
Children's Theatre, and the third
woman in "Pigeons", presented
at ASC during winter quarter of
75-76.

Her acting career began in six-
th grade, with the role of Aunt
Polly in "Tom Sawyer." At that
time she "used to think
everybody could act." Mimi
considers herself basically a
character actress, and has always
wanted to do "grownup stuff."
She is currently auditioning to be
an apprentice at the Academy in
Atlanta. Her audition requires
her to do three very different
pieces, and she's chosen Lady
Macbeth, Grandma in
"Sandbox", and Bananas.

Mimi feels that a lot of people
dream about being on Saturday
Night Live and her campaign to
make it a reality is "one of those
crazy things you should do
sometime in your life."

Out-side

At a town meeting in Spokane,
Washington on May 5. Jimmy
Carter criticized the medical
profession the same way he had
earlier attacked the legal profes-
sion. "They (the AMA) have
been the major obstacle to
progress in our country to having
a better health care system in
years gone by." Carter also
condemned Soviet intervention
in Africa as "a danger" to Rus-
sian-American relations.

The Postal Service may be rais-
ing its prices again next month,
to 15c a letter. A new postal
reform bill will be aimed at
allowing greater congressional
control over the postal service.
Rising wages (a postal worker
with seven years experience
earns $16,060 a year, plus
benefits), gas prices, injury
claims, and increasing
retirement costs are among the
factors prompting the price in-
crease.

Severe thunderstorms
preceded the sudden tornado
that struck High Point Elemen-
tary School in Clearwater,
Florida on May 4. Ninety-four
students and teachers were
taken to hospitals for various cuts
and bruises. Two kindergarten
boys, one of whom was in the
middle of a birthday celebration,
were killed.

The 104th Kentucky Derby was
won by Affirmed and 18-year-
old jockey Steve Cauthen on
May 6. The horse fans betted a
record-breaking $4,400,100 on
the race.

Students at Atlanta Junior
College have boycotted classes
the past week, the latest move in
a series of protests during the
past six months. The main
grievance of the students is
racism, charging, among other
things, that the school should
hire, promote, and grant tenure

to more black faculty members,
and make the programs for poor
students more interesting.

Jodie Gaines of Huntingdon,
Tennessee escaped from her kid-
nappers on May 2, ending her3!/2

The increasing enrollment at
Georgia Tech has led to a
shortage of rooms on campus.
The present dormitories hold
3,660 students, and about 4,500
applications for rooms are ex-
pected. A new 500-student

works for some time, but yet has
yet to be approved by state

Think AbOUt It ^' nC ' ^ om P etes with Personality

To the Agnes Scott community:

Agnes Scott aspires to be an intellectual institution but there is an
obvious lack of intellectual pursuit here. Certainly academic pressure
prevails, but is this all that is involved in intellectual growth?

The strong traditional education we receive here is vital in the well-
rounded liberal arts degree. All too often we take the value of this
traditional learning for granted. However, this type of learning is only
one part of education. There must be stimulation beyond our books.
Look around you. How much intellectual interaction do you see out-
side the class requirements? The potential here is eminent. Agnes
Scott students and staff are of the calibre to create any kind of at-
mosphere we choose. There can be more interaction on an intellec-
tual level between students and faculty outside the classroom. In-
formal group discussion about current events and outside readings is
one of the many ways this interaction can be achieved. However,
heavy academic pressure limits our time to explore other channels of
intellectual expansion. But does it matter to you that the atmosphere
is of academic panic without intellectual cultivation? Think about it.

This letter is not written as an attack on anyone, only out of concern
for the future of the college. We want your opinions too. We must
not throw up our hands and say that nothing can be done.

The students of Agnes Scott
are young women who are
maturing in a time when their
culture is undergoing a tran-
sition. The activities of the
women's liberation movement
over the past ten to fifteen years
have enabled females to be
accepted on an equal basis with
males. New occupations, hence
new lifestyles, are available to
and expected of women. As our
society evolves, the women of
today must learn to ac-
commodate themselves with
their new environment. They
must explore and accept the new
lifestyles which they will be
living.

In order to enter the male-
dominated business world, they
must establish themselves as able
and intelligent beings, capable
of competition and success. As
women standing on the
threshold of this great transition,
the students of Agnes Scott must
have an education that will help
them understand from where
they have come, and, more im-
portantly, where they will go, an
education that will help them
handle the new situations that
women of the past have not had
to handle. This education cannot
be education in the simple form
of merely learning. It must be an
education that encourages the
full development of both mind
and personality. As a liberal arts

college. Agnes Scott should
provide its students with such an
education.

Many students think that
Agnes Scott offers outstanding
academics, but at the same time
that it somehow fails tostimulate
intellectual activity and
awareness. Often students feel
like computers receiving and
returning facts, rather than
scholars who are alert, ques-
tioning, and creative. Students
should be taught to think and
analytically and critically. They
must not simply exercise their
minds, but rather they must
develop their intellects. More
importantly, especially for the
women of today, they must have
an education that will develop
their spirits. In this way, they will
become responsible and
productive citizens.

The atmosphere of a liberal
arts college should encourage
students to accept responsibility
in the academic life of the cam-
pus. Students should be
intersted in intellectual activities
(eg. investigating new ideas and
examining current events). As a
treasure of knowledge, the
faculty should encourage and
guide students as they explore
the world.

Ever since last spring when I
became chairman of the Com-
mittee on Academic Problems, I

have been trying to revive the
original prestige and vigor of the
committee. I thought that Agnes
Scott needed something to en-
courage and ensure 'the ideas
that I have discussed above, and I
thought that CAP would be able
to provide that service. After a
year of discussing with the ad-
ministration and designing com-
mittee structures, the concepts
have been refined but no action
ha*, taken place. Below is the
most recent plan.

Membership will be six
students, all to be appointed by
the SGA president: two rising
sophomores, two rising juniors
and two rising seniors. The SGA
president will select one of the
rising seniors to be the chairman
of the committee. Three faculty
members will be elected by the
general faculty.

The sponsorship will be a
college committee.

The function will be to sponsor
academic improvements. The
committee should be alert to the
changing needs of the academic
world of the campus. When it
detects a need, the committee
will be the driving force to
provide and implement a
solution which will fulfill the
need. A suggested area for initial
work is to determine if a system

Pat Derian: A Woman in Carter's Regime

Mrs. Pat Derian Interviewed.

by Melanie Best

"Women in Power"? A mis-
nomer perhaps, I concluded,
after hearing Pat Derian last Fri-
day in Maclean. Not that Mrs.
Derian. a figure in the Carter ad-
ministration, confronted this is-
sue, the supposed theme for the
on-campus gathering of the
Georgia Association of Women
Deans, Administrators and
Counselors. Rather it was her
posture and the nature ot her job
which conveyed ineffectuality.

Assistant Secretary of State for
Human Rightsand Humanitarian
Affairs, the title stumbles over its
own elaborateness. It is the tail-

end of a string of credentials
sounding more dynamic in com-
parison: Pat Derian pridesherself
on having been a civil rights ac-
tivist in the Sixties, founder of
Mississippi's ACLU, that state's
Democratic National Com-
mitteewoman from 1968-76, and
advisor in the Carter-Mondale
campaign. Knowing the nature
of so many federal positions, I
fear Mrs. Derian may now feel
stifled and frustrated by inertia.

I came to this meeting expect-
ing the usual feminist platitudes,
an enumeration of our break-
throughs in "traditionally male-
dominated careers," and an ad-

mission that we still have far to
go. And Derian did begin wryly
with, "I normally don't speak in
non-ERA states." But the topic of
women died there. Maybe just as
well: we're deluged, even most
subtly, by exhortations to
assertiveness.

The Assistant Secretary drifted
into her topic, human rights as an
issue in American foreign policy.
The presentation was bland; the
woman's soft, tired voice
certainly inspired no excitement
in the audience. And this
material is stale. Carter's State

Do You Know
What A Clamata Is?

What is a Clamata?

Where is it found? Does it
grow? Who invented it? Do you
eat it, drink it, pickle it? Where
do you buy it, in a hardware
store, a supermarket, an
apothecary shop? Is it sexy?

This unusual research
challenge has been hurled at
America's college students by a
company that has an absolute
interest in finding the most in-
triguing and humorous
definition of a Clamata,
whatever it is.

Mr. Ray Anrig, president of the
Deffy-Mott Company, an-
nounces that $1,000 will be
awarded to the person whose
response is chosen third best.

A panel of famous judges will
select the winners, according to
Mr. Anrig, who said the
competition will start on May 1,
and will end on November 3,
1978.

The contest is open to any
current full-time college student
in the United States.

The answer to "What is a
Clamata," can be submitted in
the form of an article, short story,
fable, a painting, cartoon, jungle,
photograph or sculpture, or any
other means a student may em-
ploy. Contestants may enter as
many times as they wish and no
proof of purchase is necessary.

All entries should be sent to:
What is a Clamato Contest, 17th
Floor, 1212 Avenue of the
Americas. New York, NY 10036

All entries and ideas cannot be
returned and will become the
property of the Duffy-Mott
Company. Decisions of the
judges will be final. Be sure to
provide your name and address
as well as the name of your
college or university with your
entry.

Come On

Do you remember the Chat-
tahoochee raft race last year?
Well, there were on zillion
contestants trying to prove their
aquatic agility as well as their
tolerance of beer. The spectacle
always promises to be
entertainment to the
participants as well as the on-
lookers.

This year the race will be run
again on May 20. Usually there is
a strong turn out from Georgia
Tech as well as Emory. This year
there are a couple of courageous
Scott students who would also
like to prove their aquatic
abilities as well as. . .

The application for entry into
the race must be turned in by
May 13. There is also a small en-
trance fee. Anyone who is
interested in pulling, pushing, or
paddling the Agnes Scott raft
must get in touch with Nancy
Griffin or Tina Robertson by the
morning of May 13.

The race starts at 11:45 a.m.
and in theory it ends at 3:00 p.m.
Anyone interested in serving as a
rescue team is welcome. For
those who wish to ride the raft,
tennis shoes or top siders and a
life preserver are required. Plans
for departure and rides to the
river will be arranged by Nancy
Griffin the week before.

All parents will be notified if a
crewman is lost in the journey.
Last wills and testaments may be
left with the President.

Dalton, Ga. - Canoeing on the peaceful Coahulla Creek is one of
the many activities at the Prater's Mill Country Fair, May 13 & 14.
Original art, traditional crafts, mountain music and homemade
foods are found at this historic 1859 grist mill which is in
operation during the fair. Admission is $1.50 for adults, children
under 12 free.

Country Fair To Be Held

Dalton, Ga. The award-win-
ning Prater's Mill Country Fair
will be held Mother's Day
weekend, May 13 and 14, at the
historic Prater's Mill near Dalton,
Georgia.

Built in 1859 by Benjamin Fran-
klin Prater, the mill is one of the
few antebellum grist mills left in
Georgia. Still in operable con-
dition, it has been nominated to
the National Register of Historic
Places by the State of Georgia.

During the fair, corn is stone-
ground into meal by Newell
Phillips, a miller from Ketner's
Mill in Sequatchie Valley, Tenn.
The huge millstones are turned
by a water-powered turbine
dated 1893.

Begun in 1971 to raise funds for
the restoration of the mill, the
fair has become a popular out-
door event in northwest Georgia
and is held twice each year,
Mother's Day weekend in May
and Columbus weekend in Oc-
tober.

The fair features original art,
traditional crafts, mountain
music and homemade foods. A
special emphasis is placed on
demonstrations by exhibitors in
pioneer crafts such as black-
smithing, spinning, weaving, and
hand-tufting bedspreads, a cot-
tage industry which flourished in
the Dalton area in the early
1900's. Mrs. Bessie Mae Adams,
88, demonstrates spinning on a
200-year-old spinning wheel.

Other activities include
canoeingon the Coahulla Creek,

pony rides through the woods,
having a picture taken in old-
fashioned costume, and watch-
ing a mock Civil War Battle
staged by the 36th Georgia
Volunteers, Co. B., an authentic
Civil War group featured recen-
tly in the Disney movie "Million
Dollar Dixie Deliverance."

Entertainment for the two day
event features gospel singing,
square dancing, country music,
clogging and old time fiddle
playing by jack Weeks, winner of
four state fiddling cham-
pionships.

Home cooked foods include
vegetable soup and hot
cornbread, barbeque, ham and
biscuits, churned ice cream, pies,
cakes, candy and an old
Pennsylvania Dutch treat called
funnel cakes.

Near the old country store
across from the mill, members of
the Northwest Georgia Antique
Auto Club will display many of
their trophy-winning vehicles.
The country store, also open to
the public, is now the studio of
resident artist and potter John
Mraz.

The fair opens at 10:00 a.m. on
Saturday and noon on Sunday,
and closes at 6:00 p.m. both days.
Admission is $1.50 for adults, and
children under 12 are admitted
free. Plenty of free parking is
available, and there is a free shut-
tle bus.

Prater's Mill is located on Ga.
Hwy. 2, ten miles northeast of
Dalton.

(continued from last week's

Profile)

By October I was in Scotland,
and I found "Slouth" alive and
well and living in St. Andrews
indeed, all over the British Isles.
It is not just Slouth I found, and
had unknowingly sought, but
small ness. Although the
University is much larger than
Agnes Scott, St. Andrews itself is
a wee burgh. Gone are the
dollars and logistics needed just
to get from Hartsfield to ASC;
everything here is reachable by
foot, bus, hitch, or train. Riding
in a car is an unusual experience,
and driving one never even oc-
curred to me - luckily for the
Scots. University Hall is a twenty-
minute walk from classes, and
the cottage where I spend most
of my time is five miles out on the
Grange Road above town. The
bus brings me down to earth
again.

Slouth and smallness are
found everywhere. Shops closed
for lunch and for siesta at noon
on Thursdays. Grocery shopping
is accomplished by wandering,
shopping basket in hand, from
fruiter to butcher to baker to
fishmonger to wine merchant.
Milk is delivered in pint bottles
and the cream we skim off for
porridge. When the laundry lost
a fellow American's shirts, I
asked him what he thought of
such inefficiency. His almost
delighted reply: "Well, things

are just as inefficient at home,
but here at least I can see my
adversary, the girl on the other
side of the counter. I'm not fight-
ing a computer somewhere or
the System, because there is no
System."

"My Life" at Westfield Cot-
tage, Kinaldy Farm, keeps remin-
ding me of a phrase from an old
Stones song: "Come on, come
on down, Sweet Virginia, / Got
to scrape the shit right off your
shoes." Only they're not shoes,
but Wellington boots, and the
muck is an equal mixture of mud
and manure. Days are spent
gathering wood, tramping the
hills to watch the deer, hares,
rabbits, foxes, and pheasants,
and walking to the Grange Inn
for a pub lunch. I cycle some too,
usually to Dunino Church, a
"wee auld Kirk" established in
1240. And we read by the fire
a lot.

Lambing has begun on the
farm, and Margaret, who lives
next door is the sheperdess. For a
fortnight now she's been pulling
lambs out of ewes at the rate of
two or three sets of twins and
triplets a day. The other day she
pulled one out, "dead rotten", as
they say, but another lived
deeper inside the ewe. One
"pet" lamb I had cuddled and
coaxed with a warm wine bottle
of milk finally threw in the towel.
After days of stumbling in circles,
he hanged himself by wedging
his wee neck between the slats of
the pen. I'm glad I didn't have to

see it happen. Margaret said,
"Ach well, any lamb that'll nae
suck has something wrong we' it
anyway, and he's aya bound tae
die. But weh' tae try, dinna we
noo?"

I watch with some awe as
Margaret and her dog Flash br-
ing the sheep into the paddock.
Flash hardly needs a command,
an expert like her mistress. This is
Margaret's twenty-third lamb-
ing, and her practiced eye roves
the flock, picking out the ewes
that are in trouble and needing
help. Such a ewe she'll tackleand
wrestle to the ground. The laird's
son or my friend Jim holds the
ewe's head while Margaret
searches for a wee front leg to
pull on. Then - pop - the lamb is
out and thrown to the ground,
the impact serving the same
purpose as the doctor's slap on
the human derriere.

Margaret's torrent of coarse
language reveals her gruff love
for her animals. She'll not eat
mutton, ever. At the end of the
evening feeding she stands in the
lambing shed smoking, fag
clutched between thumb and
forefinger. She surveys the lot,
pokes lovingly at a lamb, and
says, "Aye, laddies suck well, an'
wha' is it all for but tae gae th'
butcher an ; make me boss
richer?"

Then stubs out her fag, turns to
me and grins, "Come, lassie, let's
gae home for a dram."

BSA Plans New Calendar

BSA has taken over the Agnes
Scott calendar from Athletic As-
sociation and is now making
plans for the 1978-1979 calendar
which will come out next fall.
Many new ideas have been
suggested, including printing
the calendar on a quarterly basis,
to alleviate the errors that are
produced by having to make
definite plans about spring and
winter quarter activities the
summer before. Plans always
change after the calendar has
been printed. If the calendar
does come out every quarter, it
would sell for about fifty cents a
quarter. The calendar has never
paid for itself - Athletic As-
sociation has been losing money
every year - and BSA feels that it
is necessary for the project to at
least break even if we are to con-
tinue to have a calendar.

Other possible money-raising
suggestions include selling ads in
the Atlanta-Decatur area, or sell-
ing "Extra days" (those un-

numbered days at the begin-
nings and ends of the months) to
Agnes Scott students for special
messages or just to say "Happy
Birthday" to a friend. The calen-
dar also will not have the now-
familiar photographs of scenes
and people around the campus
because these are very expensive
to print and would run the price
up too much. Instead the front
and back covers of the calendar

will feature artwork or cartoons
by students. Further information
about when and where to submit
the artwork will be posted, but
for more information, contact
Holly McFerrin or any member
of BSA. The calendar, and
especially the new plans, need to
be supported by the entire
student body, so any other ideas
for the new calendar would be
welcomed.

Beverly Brown
Receives Award

Beverly Brown 78, a History-
Political Science major, will
spend July 5 - 28 this summer in
Washington, where she will
serve the Republican party as a
Dorothy Kabis Memorial Intern.
Every year the National
Federation of Republication
Women awards the Dorothy
Kabis Memorial Internship to
four college seniors. The interns
are chosen through executive
committee from women
representing all fifty states.

Beverly, who is now con-
sidering the possibility of a
career in politics, is "excited and
honored". This winter she
served as an intern in the
Georgia Legislature and "found
the experience rewarding".
Beverly was "especially
interested in the juvenile courts"
because she likes children and
"finds their problems within the
judicial systems fascinating".

Mind Competes

for student evaluation of the
faculty is needed and, if so, install
a system. The committee should
also function as a stimulus for
campus-wide intellectual ac-
tivity. At least twice a quarter, the
committee will sponsor an ac-
tivity that will promote interac-
tion of the different sectors of
the campus and that will
promote interest in current
events and ideas. Because the
committee cannot foresee every
need the college will have in the
future, it would be impossible to
list every improvement the com-
mittee should promote. These
activities will not only serve to
stimulate intellectualism, but
also will help to create an at-
mosphere which will keep the

college alert. In this manner, the
campus can attempt to avoid a
state of intellectual lethargy.
Some suggestions for activites
are a debate, a "Take-a-Eaculty-
Member-to-Lunch Day" a collo-
quium, an informal discussion of
a new book, and an informal dis-
cussion of a current event (eg. a
recent Supreme Court ruling, a
civil rights event, or a local issue
influencing the community).

Macon Offers Heritage Tours

Macon, Ga. - Macon, the last
capital of the Confederacy, is a
city that never wanted to be the
capital of Georgia. That would
have meant too many rapid
changes, and Macon liked itself
just the way it was.

Much of what was, still is,
thanks to the collaborative ef-
forts of the Greater Macon
Chamber of Commerce and the
Middle Georgia Historical
Society. They've prepared a
pamphlet for visitors called
HERITAGE TOUR that will direct
even the most disoriented
newcomers to Macon's prime
architectural, historical, and
cultural attractions.

Ninety-three structures are on
the tour Greek Revival, Vic-
torian, and small cottages alike,
many of which are presently
undergoing renovation.

The most well-known house in
Macon is the Hay House, an ab-
solutely marvelous Italian

Renaissance mansion on
Georgia Avenue. Built around
1855. this National Historic
Landmark was fashioned with no
nails, silver hinges, curving slid-
ing doors, and a secret room that
once held the entire
Confederate treasury, over three
million dollars.

That amount will seem of little
consequence to those who ap-
preciate the value of the Hay
House furnishings. All are in-
valuable: European antiques,
Dresden china, crystal
chandeliers, marble sculpture,
and priceless oil paintings.

Close by is the Old Cannonball
House, so called because one
Yankee's poor aim resulted in a
ball landing in the hallway rather
than on a nearby hill. The ball is
still there, and the United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
who have turned the house into
a museum, will be happy to
direct visitors to its resting place.

The cannonball was probably
fired from Fort Hawkins, also on
the Heritage Tour. This historic
fort was established in 1806 by a
U.S. Indian agent to help protect
the English settlements in the
area and to play an important
role in Indian relations.

Indians have long been a part
of Macon's heritage, perhaps as
long as 10,000 years. The Oc-
mulgee National Monument was
built here to honor them and
preserve their ancient temple
mounds and earthlodge. Visitors
can creep into the latter for a
guided tour year round, while in
summer they can watch
demonstrations of intricate
weaving and pottery techniques
by Creek Indian descendants at
the Ocmulgee Museum.

Another different kind of
museum in Macon is the
Museum of Arts and Sciences on
Forsyth Road which houses the
second largest planetarium in

the Southeast. The shows here
are fast paced and colorful.

The Grand Opera House on
Mulberry Street contains a stage
so large that the original play of
BEN HUR was once performed
there, complete with chariot
race. The theatre is now used for
famous artists concerts and is
open by appointment for tours.

Macon visitors will find
musical entertainment in other
areas of town, too, especially in
small night clubs that feature
local entertainment, for the
success of Capricorn Records
here has been a big influence in
bringing good rock music into
the city.

There's also a lot of good din-
ing in Macon. Those who like
rock bottom prices and top
quality food should try the cat-
fish restaurant on Vineville
Avenue or the Southern style
cooking at the Farmer's Market
Cafeteria. For more elegant fare,

there's an excellent menu in the
restaurant located in the
renovated 1860's mansion on
College Street. Their fried
mushrooms and after dinner
dessert drinks offer the ultimate
in eating pleasure.

No trip to Macon would be
complete without a stop at
Wesleyan, the first college in the
world chartered to grant degrees
to women, or a ride out to
Tobesofkee Recreation Area,
where four lakeside parks and
1750 acres of surface water await
the outdoor enthusiast.

Pros and Cons of Semester, Quarter Systems

Ames, La. - The pros and cons
of the semester vs. the quarter
system are being discussed at
Iowa State University for the
fourth time in the last 45 years. A
recently released report by
Arthur Gowan, coordinator of
educational relations, and David
Lendt, assistant to the vice
president of information and
development, outlined the pros
and cons of each system.

The semester system: Pro:
There is more time per course.
Students get to know their
instructors better and develop
more interest in the subject.
Con: The semester can become
tiring for teacher and student.
Procrastination by students may
be encouraged. Pro: There are
fewer terms per academic year.
Less total time is spent pre-

Pat Derian

continued from page 2
Department emissaries have
covered our turf many times
over, patiently defining human
rights for us. I wonder howoften
this recitation has been
delivered: it was obviously not
tailored to an audience of
Georgia educators.

"There is no such thing as 'just
talking,'" Mrs. Derian em-
phasized, in the matter of urging
att) nations to propagate
humanitarian policies. I remain
skeptical, though, in light of the
paucity of positive reforms. Of
course the United States treads
precariously on the edge of
arrogance and paternalism in
initiating discussions of human
rights in Cuba, the Soviet Union,
the Philippines. Mrs. Derian's
position is a delicate one. And
the nature of her job as created
by Carter requires PR tactics.

I only question the woman's
effectiveness. The current ad-
ministration's human rights
stand encompasses more than
"just talking," but clearly this
woman's tools are merely the
words. I fear her position
perpetuates the entrenched as-
sociation of women with
feebleness. Pat Derian. haggard
of face, exudes the disap-
pointment of her job's rewards.

classifying, registering, and
scheduling. Con: Students don't
have the chance to take as many
different courses during college.
There is less opportunity to
change majors.

The quarter system. Pro: There
is less time per course. More fre-
quent class meetings benefit
students. Classes may be smaller.
Readier evaluation is facilitated.
Con: The quarter system can
create a feverish atmosphere. It
can encourage cramming and
other poor study habits. Pro:
There are more terms per
academic year. Flexibility in
planning is greater. Students can
more earily change majors.
Students can enroll in a greater
variety of classes and become ex-
posed to more faculty members.
Con: Students may beobligedto
take more courses than they
want. Administrative costs as-
sociated with beginning and en-
ding the term are increased.

Other factors to be con-

sidered: Which is the better
instructional unit? The effec-
tiveness of examinations should
be considered as to the length,
frequency, and number of final
examination periods under the
two systems. Deciding which
plan is better for students should
be done by looking at the work
load, the flexibility, and the
payment of fees in both systems.

Advantages for the instruc-
tional staff would be evaluated
by deciding which system gives
the most desirable work load to
the faculty, as far as time off,
clerical work and opportunity
for research and study.

The administrative efficiency
of each system depends on how
the University plan would be
used, how efficient the
departmental and general ad-
ministrative offices are and
which system makes available a
larger number of instructors.

The quality and success of
summer session under each

system is also a suggested point
of consideration.

Six out of ten students favor
the quarter system over the
semester system at Iowa State
University, according to results
based on a telephone survey of
249 students, randomly selected
from the ISU Student Directory,

and interviewed by a journalism
202 class. The results have a sam-
pling error of just under seven
per cent. The majority, 70 per
cent, said they have not had to
drop a course or take an in-
complete because there was not
enough time in the quarter to
complete all the course work.

Bishop Cannon To Speak

Economics And
Sociology Split

by Rori Lane

This year in the 1978-79
catalogs it was apparent that the
Economics and Sociology
departments are no longer one.
Economics is a separate
department from Sociology and
Anthropology.

When Economics and
Sociology were first taught at
Agnes Scott, teachers who
taught Economics also taught
Sociology and vice-versa. In
essence, the Economics and
Sociology departments used to
be one organism and there was
an interdependence of the two.

According to Dr. John Tum-
blin, who will be the chairman of
the Sociology and Anthropology
department next year, the
separation of the two
departments has been an
"evolutionary process." The
question of the separation of the
departments has been raised for
many years but until this year
they have been connected to
each other.

One of the main reasons for
the split is that of administrative
convenience. Another im-
portant reason is the separate
identities of the two
departments. The main ad-
vantage from the Sociology end
is that from now on An-
thropology will be listed with
Sociology.

Dr. Tumblin believes that
"from the change, the effect on
the Sociology and Economics
majors will not be significant.' 7
The advising of majors in the
Economics department has
always been with the teachers in
that specific discipline and
likewise with the Sociology ma-
jors.

There will be an addition to
the Sociology department in the
coming year, Mrs. Caroline
DillmaVi, who has had special
training in education sociology.
She is very experienced in
research and publication of
instructional material. One of

This year's Baccalaureate
Service and Commencement Ex-
ercises for the Class of 1978 will
be held on Sunday, June 4. The
Baccalaureate speaker will be
Bishop William R. Cannon,
resident bishop of the United
Methodist Church in Georgia.
The service will begin at 11:00
a.m. It is not yet known what the
topic of Bishop Cannon's speech
will be.

Educated at the University of
Georgia and Yale University,
Bishop Cannon was ordained in
1940. He is the author of ten
books, holds three honorary
college degrees, and is a
delegate to many church
conferences. In addition to these
honors, Bishop Cannon was
elected to the World Methodist
Council in August, 1976. He is
only the fourth person from the
United Methodist Church in the

Terry McGehee to
Study Art in India

Art Instructor Terry S.
McGehee plans to attend a
1978 summer art seminar in In-
dia from June 6 - July 28. She is
one of 20 educators in the arts
who have been selected from
across the nation to participate
in the program. The program is
funded by the federal Office of
Education and the Fulbright-
Hays Foundation. This year the
seminar is sponsored by Gram-
bling State University in
Monroe, Louisiana.

The first month will be spent
traveling throughout India. The
second month will feature a

seminar at Benares Hindu
University. In addition to In-
dian visual arts which include
temples, sculpture, and pain-
ting, the seminar will en-
compass various topics such as
Indian cultural heritage and art
history, the educational struc-
ture, and Indian theater.

This seminar presents a new
area of study for Ms. McGehee.
She plans to use the in-
formation which she gains from
this unique experience in
special lectures in art history
here at Agnes Scott and the
community.

The Class of 1978 will begin
their Commencement Exercises

Some of the lucky ones in the
class of 1978 have obtained
interesting jobs which they will
begin after leaving Agnes Scott
this spring. Several in the
graduating class will be teaching
and others attending graduate
school. There are also those who
will marry and others who will
continue the job hunt.

A few who have jobs already
confirmed are: Sara Arthur an

Students Head for Marburg

by Ruth Ann Relyea
Dr. Gunther Bicknese,
chairman of the German
department, and a group of ten
students will be departing for
Marburg, Germany on June 22.
The six-week visit is Agnes Scott's
fourth summer study abroad
program at the University of
Marburg.

When the group arrives in
Marburg, the university will still
be in session, allowing the
students a chance to visit classes.
The courses they will be taking
for the summer session will be in
German civilization, literature at
the intermediate and advanced
levels, and the intermediate year

of German. Dr. Bicknese will be
teaching some of the courses,
but most of them will be taught
by University of Marburg
instructors.

Many small field trips will be
taken, and four major ones have
been planned so far. The group
will visit Kassel, the wine festival
at Rhine, the theatre festival at
Hersfeld, and will spend a night
in northern Bavaria. Four
members of the group plan to
take an optional tour of Europe
which will include Berlin,
Prague, Vienna, and Munich.

The students making the trip
to Germany are Evelyn Booch,

Melissa Breitling '81, Teresa Lass
'80, Christine Silvio '80, Joyce
Thompson '81, Mary Tiniacos '79,
Claire Wanamaker '81, Terri
Wong '81, Gerald Mize from the
University of Georgia, and
Joanna Spain from the University
of Arizona. Christine Silvio will
remain in Marburg to spend her
junior year there.

The University of Marburg was
founded in 1527 by Philip the
Magnanimous. Christian Wolf, a
Marburg professor 200 years
later, was a philosopher of the
Enlightment, and the first to
write scholarly works in German,
rather than in Latin.

Dr. Perry Awarded Degree From Oglethorpe

On Sunday, May 7 at the
commencement exercises of
Oglethorpe University,
President Perry was honored by
conferment of the degree Doc-
tor of Letters. Oglethorpe
president Manning M. Pattillo,
Jr. called this degree "especially
appropriate in view of [President
Perry's] own scholarly and teach-
ing background in English and ...
commitment to the humanities
in undergraduate education."

President Perry received an

honorary Doctor of Laws degree
from Washington and Lee
University last year, and the
comments made at that time
pointed out his service to
Washington and Lee as chairman
of the English Department (in
which position he inaugurated
severa new programs) and as
Dean of Admissions. In addition,
Dr. Perry was presented with an
honorary degree when he spoke
at Washington College
graduation ceremonies several

years ago.

Following his investment with
the Oglethorpe hood, President
Perry spoke briefly on the liberal
arts tradition at colleges such as
Agnes Scott and Oglethorpe. He
listed three personal hopes for
these colleges and began by
poiting out the primary function
of the college as a community of
learning within which the "free
and responsible search for

knowledge" and the conversion
of knowledge into wisdom are
supplemented by "lively dis-
cussion, practical experience ...
activist defense or advocacy of
causes for human betterment."
He then went on to express his
hope that colleges such as Agnes
Scott and Oglethorpe will con-
tinue to fuse "intellectual vitality
and freedom" with "Christian
principles and commitment,"
and he closed by calling for a
continued strong commitment

to the liberal arts:

"I am not suggesting for a
moment that young people
do not need specific skills and
professional training ... These
must and should be acquired
... both on and off campus;
but, in my judgment, as a
valuable supplement in
colleges like ours to the
strong liberal arts core. . .."

"Many hands make
light labor"

I can remember my initiation into that phase of everyday living that
is called "Labor". Until I was eight, I was convinced that a day was
composed of food, bicycles, and sleep. The day that I was tall enough
to reach the kitchen _:nk, which came all too soon, my mother saw it
fit to instruct me in the finer art of dishwashing. The lesson always
began after dinner just as the neighborhood soccer game was getting
underway. This did not reinforce a cheerful attitude.

Every night Mother would cart the dishes from the table into the
kitchen. As I bumped the plates against the water spigot and watched
the little bits of china float down thedrain to join the silverware in the
garbage grinder, she would smile and chant, "Many hands make light
labor."

As soon as her back was turned, I would religiously mimic her chant
under my breath or ask somewise question such as, "Then why didn't
God give me four hands?"

The years have passed and so has the kitchen duty. I didn't wait un-
til my little sister could reach the sink to teach her my skills. I got her a
chair on which to perch. Dickens could have written wonderful
stories about the happenings in our kitchen.

During this last quarter I have been aided by many people in a
pursuit that makes dish washing look enviable. Besides the Monday
night crew, there were many devoted individuals who have furnished
us with a paper. It has been a pleasure to work with them, and they
deserve an extended round of applause.

A special thanks goes to Barbara Mandel, Steph Segars, Sally
Stamper, Melanie Best, Ruth Ann Relyea, Ross Cheny, Dacis Small,
Betsy Broadwell, Rosie Perez, Theresa Layden, Marty Lovvorn, Pax-
son Collins, Janet McDonald, Carol Gorgus, Lee Harbor, Melanie
Meadows Nan Fabisinski, Laura Newsome, Susie Van Vlack, and

The Monday night crew says goodbye.

Out-side

Aldo Moro's bullet-riddled
body was found on May 9,
wrapped in a blanket and stuffed
in a car parked near the head-
quarters of the Christian
Democrats. Benigno Zaccagnini
will take Moro's place in the
party.

Jerry Sowers of Cary, North
Carolina killed himself and his
wife on May 11. The couple had
been having marital problems
and were discussing separation
in their lawyer's conference
room when Sowers set off a
bomb he had taped to his vest.
No one else was injured.

The Marine Corps Recruit
Depot, as it is officially called, on
Parris Island, South Carolina, was
included in a list released by

Secretary of Defense Harold
Brown, of 85 military facilities
that may be closed to save
money. Parris Island has been a
Marine training center since
1915. Brown stated that the
Defense Department may seek
to reduce their budget by more
than $337 million through clos-
ing and consolidating bases.

The Georgia Lightweight
Aggregate Co., near Rockmart,
was rocked by a series of ex-
plosions in fuel storage tanks on
May 12. About 20 families were
evacuated from the area, and no
serious injuries were caused by
the explosions and resulting fire.

An Atlanta pliceman was killed
May 15 while answering a
robbery call at the Dixie

Furniture Co. downtown.
Patrolman Frank Schlatt was shot
in the face with a sawed-off
shotgun and died three hours
later. Police are determined to
find the robber who killed
Schlatt.

High levels of radiation were
discovered in 1976 by state of-
ficials, in an abandoned Lock-
heed nuclear site near Dawson-
vi lie. The site was closed for
nuclear energy experimentation
in 1971, and after a survey by the
state radiological lab was
declared safe. The city of Atlanta
purchased the site for a possible
airport. There is now concern
that people who have visited the
site may have inhaled radioactive
particles.

Concerning Minority Cultures

Due to the concern expressed
by members of the Agnes Scott
faculty, administration, and
student body, the Curriculum
Committee recently presented a
statement concerning the in-
troduction of courses in minority
cultures.

It has been proposed that
courses could be added to those
numbered 190 (freshman and

sophomore seminars) to include
Black and other minority culture
studies. There is to be no am-
biguity as to course content
when described in the catalog.

Funds could be requested to
hire special part-time instructors
(ideally, members of those
minorities) to reach these
courses. A faculty exchange
program may even be set up.

The new textbooks and
materials ordered would be able
to be incorporated into existing
courses. Departments should
assess their present materials
available on minority cultures.

Extracurricular activities, such
as lectures and programs, would
be added to the school calendar
to broaden the campus'
awareness.

Coming Attractions: Film Festival

This year the Decatur-Agnes
Scott Film Festival has presented
several entertaining films for the
enjoyment of the student body.
We are happy to report that the
series will return next year, with
the following schedule: (dates
are approximates).

September 22 three short sub-
ject films will be shown: THE RED
BALLOON, THE DOVE, and AN
OCCURENCE AT OWL CREEK
BRIDGE. Free admission. Oc-
tober 6 Lina Wertmuller's SWEPT
AWAY will be presented. Judith
Crist calls it "a fierce battle of the
sexes, as witty as it is wise, as
ferocious as it is funny." October
20 the Academy-Award winning
ALL THE KING'S MEN will star
Robert Redford and Dustin
Hoffman. November 3 brings
MANDRAGOLA, based on the
classic story by Niccolo
Machiavelli. November 17 An-
dre Gide's LA SYMPHONIE PAS-
TORALE will be shown. This
Nobel Prize winner also earned
three Cannes Film Festival

Awards. December 2 brings THE
SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, a
Spanish film that has won
numerous awards.

Steve Haworth, of the
Political Science department,
says that if all goes as planned the
series will continue into the
winter and spring quarters of
next year. Scheduled for that
time are Orson Welles'
FALSTAFF, Z and STATE OF SI EGE
by Costa-Gavras, Bunuel's
MILKY WAY, TRIUMPH OF THE
WILL, and THE HARDER THEY
COME (with Jimmy Cliff).

As a reminder, ON THE
WATERFRONT, with Marlon
Brando will be shown May 27 at
8:00 p.m. in Dana. Admission is
50c.

Mr. Haworth is enthusiastic
about the film series. "I really
think the cinema is a rich aes-
thetic medium, and any
alledgedly intellectual com-
munity should have access to

quality films. Again, I reiterate
that if anyone who is interested
in films has any films to suggest, I
would love to hear from them."

T Lancaster Introduces SLC

There exists on this campus,
along with many others, a very
unique committee. The Student
Life Committee, a branch of Rep
Council, feels that manystudents
on this campus do not know of
its existence. We would like to
introduce ourselves. The
chairman of this board is Mopsy
Widener 79. The other members
for the 1978-79 year are:
Maureen Birtch 79, Deni Lamb
79, and T Lancaster '80. Our first

projects for the coming year in-
clude: an ice machine for the
Hub, (accessible to the students),
smoke detectors in the dorms,
and looking into changing the
banking hours. All of these pro-
jects are still tentative. We are
also planning on having a
column in the Profile entitled
"The Myth of the Week" to try
and answer some of the ques-
tions that the students have
about Scott and to disentegrate

some of the misconceptions the
girls have about Scott. The
purpose of this column is to help
shorten some of the com-
munication gaps that exist on
campus between the students,
faculty, and administration. If
you have a question, and would
like to have it answered and

Seniors Reveal Bequeaths

The time has come for all good
seniors to start packing their
trunks and suitcases and to set
their sights beyond the limits of
Candler, College, McDonough

Ecology Class Tours Generating Plant

The Ecology Class from Agnes
Scott College toured the Edwin I.
Hatch Visitors Center on Mav11,
with ten people.

Center exhibits inform guests
about the various fuels used to
produce electricity. Visitors

learn about the amount of each
type of fuel required to produce
the approximately 9,800
kilowatt-hours of electricity used
annually in an average home in
Georgia, and why nuclear fuel is
an economical, safe choice.

The nuclear fission process
the splitting apart of atoms to
produce heat is explained,
along with the operation of a
nuclear-powered generating
plant.

The Visitors Center is located
on the site of Georgia's first
nuclear-fueled generating plant,
a 2,200-acre tract on the
Altamaha River at the Toombs-
Appling County line some 12
miles north of Baxley.

Construction work on the
facility began in 1968. When the
plant is completed, it will consist
of two 800,000-kilowatt capacity
boiling water reactors. The first
unit began producing energy in
late 1974 and the second unit is
scheduled to begin operations
later this year.

The plant is operated by
Georgia Power, which owns the
facility jointly with the
Oglethorpe Electric
Membership Corporation, the
Municipal Electric Authority of
Georgia and the City of Dalton.

During 1977, the Center
hosted 14,124 guests, represen-
ting the District of Columbia, 45
states and 16 foreign countries.

Will Bunny
Graduate?

by Betsy Broadwell

There is a possibility that
among those graduating with the
"tired old seniors" will be Bun-
ny. Bunny is currently a resident
of third Main. Originally, Bunny
belonged to Kitti Smith, but was
passed on to the tender loving
care of Kaki Manning, Mary Jane
Norville, Mary Anna Smith,
Sharong Smith and Laura Mac-
Donald. Bunny made the move
from second Rebecca to third
Main with her roommates and
has apparently enjoyed the year.
But, Bunny, a strong supporter of
Social Council functions, has
partied too much and
participated in too many formals
and is therefore ranked lowest in
the class of 1978. So, if Bunny
does march on June 4 it will be by
the sking of her teeth and the
hair on her ears.

Buckle down, Bunny, and
maybe you will make it. If not, we
will see you again next fall.

Seniors prepare to meet the Business World.

Internship Policy Change

Student Honored
By Rotary Club

At its regular monthly meeting
May 5, the Agnes Scott faculty
approved a change in the catalog
statement regarding
'internships,' under which it is
stipulated that no hours earned
in this way may be applied to the
minimum 45 quarter hours of
credit required for a major. This
action follows an earlier faculty
decision encouraging
departments to consider
internships, but it makes clear
that these should not replace the
minimum core of academic
courses which any department
feels is necessary for an adequate
major.

The specific wording ap-
proved for inclusion in the next

catalog but to become effective

in the fall is as follows:

"The major consists of a
minimum of 45 quarter hours,
exclusive of internships, and a
maximum of 72 quarter hours,
inclusive of internships, in
one discipline. Any hours in
excess of 72 must represent
work beyond the 180 hours
required for the degree,
unless permission for ad-
ditional hours has been given
for a specific inter-
departmental major."

In other curriculum actions,
the faculty approved a topic for a
seminar on "Latin American
Literature of Black Expression,"

to be offered in the spring of
1979 and some changes in prere-
quisites for upper division
French courses, as well as giving
approval for a maximum of 15
quarter hours for work taken in
the Naval R.O.T.C. program at
Georgia Tech.

The principal business of the
meeting was the election of
members of faculty committees
and the hearing of reports from
three faculty committees review-
ing their work for the current
session. Finally, discussion con-
tinued on some proposed
changes for Faculty Grievance
Committee functions and
membership, and the revised
document was approved.

Mary Jane Norville '78 is the
only woman among six students
to be honored recently as an
outstanding college senior by
the Rotary Club of Atlanta.

She and the other students
were selected as the outstanding
seniors from each of the six
Atlanta area colleges and
universities whose presidents are
members of the Rotary Club of
Atlanta.

The other students were
Samuel Durham of Emory,
Samuel Flax of Georgia Tech,
Stephen Bell of Georgia State,
Alden Casenave of Morehouse
College, and Glen Papure of
Oglethorpe University.

Each student was presented

with a gold watch and asked to
speak at a Rotary Club luncheon
held in their honor in early May.
Mary Jane spoke on values she
has learned from a liberal arts
education, and on international
relations, which she studied in
Washington, D.C. during her
junior year.

Mary Jane is majoring in
Political Science, and has been
elected to Phi Beta Kappa. This
year she served as chairman of
Interdorm and as president of
the Studio Dance Theatre. This
fall her classmates elected her to
"Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and
Colleges."

Sociology

continued from page 7

Mrs. Dillmans' major research
interests is the process by which
families in the rural South come
to decisions about their children.

The expansion of either the
Sociology or Anthropology
courses has a lot to do with the
interest of the students. If a suf-
ficient number of students ex-
press interest in a particular
course, then the course will be
considered. As for those
students who would like to ma-
jor in Anthropology, there are
no plans at this time to in-
corporate an Anthropology ma-
jor into Agnes Scott.

With both the new catalog and
supplement out, quite a few
changes in course offerings in
the Sociology department are
evident. Some courses have
been done away with, while
others have been combined to
create new courses. One such
revision has been made with the
course of Urban Society, which
has been altered to, cover the
topic of The South in Transition,
and covers both urban and rural
society.
