The Profile ( Vol. -L-X-W No. 1 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.

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. Mari Perez, Editor SHE'S SO TO frfTHek- ALWAYS \ m HER W0K Do/Vf/ /S WIS HER OAJLy CLASS? HOW Does SHE do rr?t 1 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 Please help the PROFILE save money and paper. If you do not want to keep your copy, please leave it in the mailroom in the designated area. (Not to be confused with the wastebasket!) LIB Take up the bet Go make it on your own The risks involved are minor except one Instead of running back Dependent on the man You might succeed And find yourself Alone MS Those smiling lovelies sitting around me seem to have found a higher plane, a simpler formula for learning. 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, 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. Page 4 Profile/October 14, 1977 Students Enjoy Study in New Lands A great number of Agnes Scott students were out of the country last summer. Students Went to the United Kingdom, Belgium, Norway, France, Canada, Spain, Germany, and The Netherlands to study, work, relax, visit, and learn. The Agnes Scott Summer Abroad Program took 31 girls to Great Britain over the summer. Those participating were Kay Cochrane, Bess Cox, Catherine Crook, Leigh Dillon, Kathryn Fall quarter begins a new ap- proach to tennis at Agnes Scott. Ms. Ann McConnell will work with both intercollegiate and in- tramural activities this year. Students now have the option of playing in campus-wide ladder tournaments or of earning a position on the intercollegiate team. The returning players of last years' team will be placed first on the intercollegiate challenge ladder. All remaining challengers will be placed in alphabetical order. The in- tramural ladder is open to all interested students who wish to play only those on the campus. Tennis team practice is scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday, 4-6 p.m. Veterans of the team are preparing for an 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 of Campbell Hall and Dana Hall, as well as contributing money for the purchase of the organ in Maclean Auditorium. It also provided $50,000 of the money needed for the recent moderinization of McCain Library. Dr. McCain says as of yet, no detailed plans have been worked out for the modernization of Docie, Angela Fleming, Margaret Evans, Jeannine Garbutt, Katherine Gowan, Laurie Guess, Jo Anne Harber, Patricia Huggins, Jane Hunt, Caye Johnson, Kay Kirkland, Lorraine Mixon, Jeanie Moore, Kathleen O'Brien, Ann Patterson, Peggy Pfeiffer, Sharon Pittman, Ellen Poole, Barbara Propst, Madelyn Redd, Ginnie Risher, Diann Sanders, Bonnie Stoffel, Sloane Stribling, Rebekah Strickland, Susan Atlanta area college tennis tournament to be held Oct. 22.

These girls travelled with their guide and instructor, Dr. Michael Brown and his wife. They saw London, Canterbury, Exeter. Devon, Oxford, Stratford upon Avon, Coventry, Cotswold, York, Edinburgh, and St. Andrews. 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 Belgian young people, and es- tablished a church planting. Cheryl's group operated through an evangelical church and spoke the language of the collegiate-gothic architecture, was completed in 1930. For 47 years it has been the central building for the college's academic program, which is liberal arts. The statistics are alarming. Over one hundred million children in the developing world suffer from malnutrition. In some of the poorest countries, more than twenty-five per cent will die before age five. A hun- dred thousand children will go blind this year due to Vitamin A deficiency. On Halloween, however, these problems will be brought to our doorsteps, as children Trick or Treat for UNICEF, and in the process take a collective tug at America's conscience. 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." Guarineri Quartet continued from page 1 Performers Series at Alice Tullv Hall. 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. This is the fifth consecuti.e year that has sponsored the one concert the Guarneri String Quartet performs annualK in Ginnie believes that Europeans "take things more seriously than we (Americans) do." Her closing comments were, "It was so exciting! I wish I could go back. I'm already plan- ning my next trip." Travelling with the Emory Spanish departmer*. Rosie and 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)." But "I want to go back. I loved it!" Georgia. The Guarneri's 1977-78 season will be a typical year, filled with over 100 recitals and orchestral appearances, 18 days of record- ing in New York and 20 days of teaching at Philadephia's Curtis Institute ot Music. They will perform in major European cities and in New York City, where their recitals will include eight competitions.

The Profil Vol. bX-ftr No. 2 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.- October 21, 1977 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 '81 What does Black Cat mean to you as a Sophomore? a chance to take out my frustrations on someone. a chance to get to know all the girls in the freshman class. a chance to do the things to the freshmen this year which were done to us last year. whoever thought up Black Cat sure had her together. lots and lots of beer. a chance to bring the class closer together. roadtrips, caselined door knobs, and frosh bra collections hung from the hub. Panic! a chance to build class spirit. it's such a relief to finally be on the other side of this Black Cat business. a break from academics 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 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. continued on page 4 Page 2 Profile/October 21, 1977 The Profile AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. 30030 THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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." profile subscribe today and send the student newspaper of Agnes Scott College to family, friends, alumnae, anybody. $3 per year name of subscriber send to address return form to Box 764 Profile/October 21, 1977 Page 3 arts/entertainment what's happening ART One hundred fifty thousand dollars of inventory of contem- porary fine art will be offered for auction Thursday, October 20-21 at the Sheraton-Northlake Inn. 1-285 at La Vista Road, Northlake Parkway.

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. Page 4 Profile/October 21, 1977 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.

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." The lecture is presented to the public free of charge by Agnes Scott and the University Center in Georgia, in Presser Hall at 7:30 p.m., October 25. game here against The Georgia Hockey Club on October 27. The Alumnae also helped out by playing the team in a practice game on October 16. The team will be at Sewanee in Tennessee on October 28 and 29 for a series of games.

Its purpose is to make the weekend more meaningful for our Seniors. 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.) Dr. Martin is a professor of music at Agnes Scott. He is also the organist for the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Atlanta and chairman of the southeastern region of the American Guild of Organists. A 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- continued on page 4 graduate of the Juilliard School 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.

All copy is subject to normal editing. Editorial 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. Mari Perez/ edit or 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. a member of Social Council 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.

American Cancer Society | ftAUOUffil BAf rati 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.

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. Lalo mav not have smuggled actual Spanish tunes into his concerto, but there is no mis- taking the country ot inspiration - imitation, if you will - in the continued on page 4 Page 4 Profile/October 28, 1977 Writers' Festival Announces Contest The 1978 Agnes Scott College Writers' Festival invites college students only to enter its annual poetry and fiction contest.

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.

In 1975, moped sales shot up to 25,000; this year's final figure is expected to top that by 600 percent. Mopeds are getting mixed reactions here. They're tremen- dous energy-savers and low- level polluters with their single- cylinder, air-cooled engines. On the other hand, insurance isn't mandatory in most states; some don't even require operators to have any kind- of license, in- cluding an ordinary driver's license. Mopeds are forbidden on ma- jor highways, and federal guidelines restrict engine size and power to a top speed of 30 miles an hour. In case of trouble, the pedals can be used as back- up.

November 4, 1977 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 by Betsy Broadwell 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!

FULL FACE: Satisfactory Saturday 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.

"The word of God is so living and so alive that every single need, no matter what it is, can be met by Him."

Hockey Team was Busy The Agnes Scott Hockey Team had a busy week playing the Georgia Hockey Club here Thursday, October 27, and then going to Sewanee in Tennessee the next day for a series of games. The game against the Georgia Hockey Club was probably the stiffest competition the ASC News From Beyond: Honor System Studied at Stanford Palo Alto, Calif. - (I. P.) - As an initial step in a review of the Honor Code by the Student Council Legislative Council, Sally Cole, graduate student in Sociology, surveyed 83 Stanford University faculty and personally interviewed 50 scholars in the School of Humanities and Sciences. Cole's study compared data from 75 undergraduates here in a national study of "Student Dishonesty and Its Control in College" by William ). Bowers in 1961 with responses from 192 undergraduates and 117 graduate students at Stanford in 1976. The number of graduates who reported they have ever engaged in academic dishonesty here was markedly lower than for undergraduates: team has played all season. Agnes Scott lost that game 3-0. The next morning, October 28, the team packed up and left for Sewanee and played two games against Sewanee and Vanderbilt. Sewanee won the first game, 3-0, and Vanderbilt won the second game, 1-0. The team had a great time and enjoyed the visit to the Sewanee campus, which is one of the most beautiful campuses they have visited. Speaking of beautiful campuses, the Physical Education Department would especially like to thank Mr. Jack Hug and all of the people at the Phvsical Plant for keeping the hockey field, tennis courts, and bleachers immaculate this season. We don't always ap- preciate the care put into the athletic facilities until we visit other campuses. Thanks again for all the hard work!

Eisenberg, a private attorney in Atlanta, will speak to interested members of the Agnes Scott community about the status of non-im- migrant students and conditions under which they may work in the United States. His talk will be held in the Hub on November 17, at 11:30 a.m. Mr. Eisenberg came to Atlanta four years ago and is originally from New York. He is presently interested in the international phase of law and has traveled ex- tensively throughout the coun- tries of Western Europe with the exceptions of Spain and Portugal. He has also spent some time in Bogota, South America, where he explored the pos- sibilities of intercounjry adop- tion with the United States. Mr. Eisenberg has spoken previously at Agnes Scott as well as at surrounding Atlanta-area colleges and universities. He has talked to students at Georgia State University and Mercer University (of Atlanta) about Im- migration and Naturalization, as well as to nurses about the present adoption laws and to the elderly about the importance of having a will. Mr. Eisenberg's talk next Thursday will be concentrate on the F-1 classification of non-im- migrants and specifically, the special problems and areas of interest which concern them and their stay in the United States. SGA Committees Tackle Proposals Student Government As- sociation (SGA) has been very active this year. Under the leadership of President Kaki Manning 78, SGA has promoted various proposals and projects for the Agnes Scott community. The organization began its work before the school year got under way with a retreat. On the weekend of September 15-16, Rep Council, Interdorm. and Honor Court met with Dean Martha Kirkland to prepare for the 1977-78 session.

The theme for the week at Agnes Scott is the one for National Career Week entitled "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 14 at 7:30 p.m., will trace the career paths of four people in diverse occupations. The guests will be an Agnes Scott instructor of Political Science, the college's Public Relations Director, an Agnes Scott graduate who works part-time for an Atlanta architectural firm while studying architecture at Georgia Tech, and an Agnes Scott graduate who is the as- sistant dean of Emory University's graduate school.

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. On November 16, Ms. Catherine Sims, a former History professor at Agnes Scott and a former dean at Sweetbriar College, will speak at the convocation on her ex- periences under the 4-1-4 system.

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. by Ruth Anne Relyea FULL FACE: Sunday Evening Dinner: The Epitome of a Social Gathering Time: Six Bells Setting: Letica Pate Evans Dining Hall, the lights are dimmed to add to the cheerful atmosphere.

It runs November 11, 12, 17 and 18. It promises to be a powerful and exciting evening of theatre. Mr. Steve Griffith, Drama department, has designed the sets and lights. Sandra Eichelberger '80 has designed the costumes. The talents of these two combined with the direction of Dr. Jack Brooking, head of the Drama Department, make THE THREE SISTERS a fine way to open a play season. The Theatre Department has booked a film of Sir Laurence Olivier's Chichester Festival Production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. It plays November 14 at 8:15 p.m. in the Winter Theatre. Admission is $1. This production has been heralded as "the best 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 showing in the Atlanta area. I Wish This Spy Loved Me! by Andi Julian James Bond: that suave, debonair, good-looking, intelligent, fascinating, quite appealing, and brilliant British secret agent that every woman loves is on that big silver screen again! The Spy Who Loved Me is another in that long line of Bond movies that is very entertaining 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 movies (I think The Man With the Golden Gun had a better 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. Page 4 Profile/November 11, 1977 Course Change Deadline Announced Students who wish to make course or section changes for winter quarter will make such changes on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 15 - 16. The red-tag list for the winter quarter will be posted on the of- ficial bulletin board before November 15. Students may obtain their course cards and major cards (if applicable) from the student table in the Registrar's Office. All cards must be returned to the Registrar's Office by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 16. COURSE CHANGES Freshmen and sophomores who wish to make course changes must consult their faculty advisers. Juniors and seniors may see their major professors or one of the deans. Students in the Return-to- College program should consult Mrs. Leonard in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty or their ma- jor professors (if applicable). All changes must be made by a department chairman, faculty adviser, or dean who will initial each change on the course card. A student who wishes to make a course change in her major should see her major professor who will make the necessary changes on both her course and major cards. SECTION CHANGES All section changes are to be made in the Office of the Dean of Faculty. A student who wishes to make a section change in a year or two quarter course must see one of the deans. If a course change made by a faculty adviser or department chairman necessitates a section change in another course, a student must see both her faculty adviser or major professor and one of the deans. It is imperative that all course changes for the winter quarter be made on November 15 and 16. Textbook orders for the winter quarter will be completed on the basis of course enrollments as of November 16. It is essential that they be com- pleted at this time in order to avoid book delays and shortages at the beginning of the winter quarter. After November 16, no course or section changes for the winter quarter can be made until the second week of the quarter ex- cept those necessitated by fall quarter failures.

No special iCI C equipment is needed for the test. Any Agnes Scott student who is interested in considering joining the Air Force ROTC unit at Georgia Tech is encouraged to attend the meeting or to come to the office of the Dean of the Faculty where other information is available. Given SBA Sponsors Lowery Visit SGA Continued continued from page 7 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.

Scott and the other sponsors of the Photography Contest thank all those students who entered for their participation and en- courage them to keep clicking thoseshutters. Good picturesare always in demand by the "Silhouette," the Public Relations Office, the Admissions Office and the Alumnae Office. Sara Fountain New PR Head Sara Fountain is the Director of Public Relations here at Agnes Scott. She is from a small agrarian Georgia town, Reynolds, near Plains. "Plains used to be near Reynolds", Sara said. She attended Georgia Southern in Stateboro, Georgia and was an English major. One of her ex- tracurricular activities while in college was Hopkito, a form of Judo and the Martial arts. Sara's job as Director of Public Relations involves marketing functions, selling of the college, increasing the recognition of the college throughout the country, work with all the departments on news releases, the President's Bulletin, the Prospective Students' Bulletin, increasing relations with the community, publicizing the students while here and after they graduate, and all advertising in general. The duties of the office are limitless. Sara is involved in many ac- tivities outside the college. She is very interested in sports, especially water sports. She is a certified scuba diver and loves sailing and rafting. Gardening, reading and creative writing are 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 comtemporary settings. They perform at different churches in the area. Sara is a founding member of the Atlanta chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts" and Scicnes. She said it is an outstanding chapter and she just returned from a trip to New York for the Academy. While in New 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. Dr. Seeger Lectures on Humanism of Science "The Humanism of Science" will be the topic of discussion by Dr. Raymond J. Seeger, on November 30 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. Dr. Seeger is a physicist and the director of the Bicentennial Lectures of Sigma Xi, a national science honor society The lecture is open to the public and free of charge. Dr. Nancy Groseclose, Chairman of the biology department, states that Dr. Seeger's topic includes "dis- cussion of the moral choices contemporary society faces regarding scientific research." She reports that Agnes Scott students requested that Dr. Seeger discuss the moral issues of science. Throughout his career, Dr. Seeger has been personally concerned with and has researched the philosophical and religious implications of physics, and the complex relationships of physics, literature and society. Among his many books on these topics are, "Benjamin Franklin: World Physicist," "Philosophical Foun- dations of Science", and "Ernst Mach: Physicist and Philosopher." Dr. Seeger recently retired from the National Science Foun- dation where he held several positions, including special as- sistant to the director and deputy assistant director for the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences. He wasthe first director of The Catholic University of America's Summer Institute on the history and Philosophy of Science. He has been visiting professor of science and religion at the Virginia Theological Seminary and a visiting scholar at Oxford University. Active in scientific societies, Dr. Seeger's contributions in- clude the establishment of the history and philosophy of science section of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science and the fluid dynamics division of the American Physical Society. He earned his B.A. in physics from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Yale University.

FULL FACE: The Term Paper 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? continued on page 4 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.

Taken from the novel, by Stendhal, it is the tale of Julian Sorel's struggle to rise from his peasant background to the heights of aris- tocracy. The only paths open to him are the red uniform of the soldier or the black cassock of the clergy and the film deals with the choice he makes. * * * The Agnes Scott College music department will present two professional flutists, Catherine Lance and Melanie Cramer, in concert November 21 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

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- continued on page 4 Page 4 Profile/ No veTTOet 18. 1977 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.

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- News From Beyond Santa Cruz, Calif. - (LP.) - The result of reorganizing the teach- ing of English composition within the college system, states Carol Freeman, administrative coordinator of the campus writ- ing program, is that the University of California, Santa Cruz's Subject A (remedial) student "is probably being better taught campuswide, than ever before."

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 Alice Vasilos. And everyone turn off your lights, think up a slogan, and win a pizza!

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 continued on page 5 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. M.P. Profile/December 10, 1977 Page 3 arts/entertainment A scene from the Alliance Theatre's production of Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Left to right: Mitchell Edmonds ("Round"), Philip Pleasants ("Ebenezer Scrooge"), and Malcolm Brush ("Round's Associate"). 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. For reservations for any 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.

Exam Theme (Sung to the tune 'I've Been Working on the Railroad") I've been studying for exams all the live-long day. I've been studying for exams just to pass the time away.

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. As soon as the stewardesses get around to serving com- plimentary colas, which is usually on the last leg of the trip, they are back and grabbing the plastic refining techniques for manag- ing large groups of people; marrying man to animal and man to machine; creating new and startling forms of surveillance; manufacturing hearts and other organs; and dramatically altering the beginning and end of life. While many of these techniques may never go beyond the laboratory, they can easily become dangerous weapons. The countries that now race to build bigger and better bombs may someday be racing to program armies of mindless beings. The possibilities are endless and far-reaching. The ever-expanding population of the world has 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 few people are aware of the sub- tle means through which behavior can be programmed: television. propaganda, chemical stimulation. In the future the means may not be as subtle. The time has come for determining who shall have access to the means. cups out of your hand and telling you that "all drinking containers must he disposed of before land- ing procedure can begin.'' B\ i his time, I am always worn out. Ot course there are ak\a\s pleniv o! reading materials sup- plied to take vour mind off of the trip. One has a choice of Field and Stream, The Mechanic's Hand Manual. Business Today. 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 Krishnas and the Children of God is always the last obstacle to contend with. This can be usually 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. I an a twenty-one year old prison 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.

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. Student News Sought WHAT'S YOUR NEW FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS?

Business. 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 Scott Monday, March 27. Classes begin as planned on Tuesday, March 28. Exact details will be printed later.) 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. Page 2 Profile/January 20, 1978 The Profile AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DEC -\TL R.

FULL FACE: The Art of Survival Editorial 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 Announcing. . .

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. continued next column 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 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. Dance marathons wouldn't be complete without a myriad of Announcing. A weekend of relaxation and informal discussion is on the agenda for all faculty members, January 28-29. The retreat will take place at Lake Lanier. Its purpose is to give faculty members a time to discuss among themselves the issues that are of current importance to them. The theme of the retreat is "The Making of a Great Faculty". Good tea and conversation are once again being offered by the Elizabethan Society at the Faculty Club, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Both students and faculty are welcomed. There were quite a few lively discussions last quarter, but greater participation is desired. Everyone is urged to attend. Today, the Chapel at 11:30 continued from page 2 a.m. will be featuring Ms. Pat Neilson, U.S. Department of Labor. Ms. Nielson will speak on Futurizing Careers".

Most important, the Muscular Dystrophy dance marathon program provides an op- portunity for thousands of college and high school students to combine fun with the satis- faction of knowing that they are contributing to the welfare of those less fortunate than themselves. The Muscular Dystrophy As- sociation, a national voluntary health agency, sponsors a world- wide research program in- cluding support of 10 major university-based research/clinical centers and some 500 individual research projects. The association also provides extensive free medical services to patients and their families, including free diagnosis and therapy at more than 180 clinics nationwide, and recreational and educational programs, including summer and winter camps. 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.

January 27, 1978 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 Hub. Open to the public free of charge, her talk is being co- sponsored by Agnes Scott, and the Corporate and Social Mis- sion of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Arce works in Cuba as an administrator for the Seminary of 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.

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. agnes scott announcing. . .

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 her husband or Silva Vacarro (clumsily played by Nick Man- cuso.) Some acquaintance with South, uneducated mentalities is necessary to appreciate any part of Tiger Tail although I feel the age of ridiculing "southern kittens" is past. Mr. William's most recent work does not com- pare in quality with his other plays such as "Glass Menagerie." M.P. 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 RETURN ENGAGEMENT HECTOR OUUERfl Organist AT THE MIGHTY FOX ORGAN At the Fabulous Fox Sunday, February 19, 1978 3:00 p.m. Prices *7 - *6 - $ 5 - *4 which includes on the program Weber's Overture to Oberon, Paganini s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in D Major, Op. 6 and Petrouchka, a ballet by Igor Stravinsky. C.A. Welcomes "LIBERTY" "Liberty", a local Christian musical group, will sing for the Christian Association Coffeehouse Saturday. February 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Lower Din- ing Hall.

The Coffeehouse will probably last until 9:30 p.m. A love-offer,ing will be collected for the group, and refreshments will be served. See Anna Bryan '80 for further information. Page 4 Profile/January 27, 1978 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.

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. Cheryl Houy Enjoys Internship Cheryl Houy, '78, a Political Science major from Artesia, New Mexico, is currently involved in 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 continued on page 4 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.

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.

THEATRE Athol Fugard's THE BLOOD KNOT, a two-character exploration of modern South Africa in conflict, will return to the Academy Theatre Main Stage with a grand opening February 16th. Performances will continue through March 11, 1978. When Clive Barnes reviewed THE BLOOD KNOT for the New York Times, he described it as "...a play about childhood, innocence, fan- tasy, role-playing, love and the Kafkaesque horror of living in a police state, where even aspiration is hopeless." THE BLOOD KNOT will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:30 p.m. Group and student discounts are available.

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 Mary Nell Santacroce as "Mrs. Frank/' George Voskovec as "Mr. Frank/' and Lynn Garretson as "Anne" in the Alliance Theatre's production of THE DAIRY OF ANNE FRANK, playing February 76 - March 4. actresses who auditioned for the part. She is a senior at Ridgeview High School here in Atlanta, where she has played "Win- nifred" in ONCE UPON A MAT- TRESS, "Calamity Jane" in CALAMITY JANE, and "Nannie" in ALL FOR MARY. The role of "Mrs. Frank" will be played by Mary Nell San- tacroche who won the praise of local and national critics for her performance as "Aunt Rose Comfort" in the Alliance's sell- out production of Tennessee Williams' TIGER TAIL. Others in the cast are Harry Ellerbe, Burke Allison, Charles Antalosky, Al Hamacher, Lee Toombs, Christine Voskovec, and Chondra Wolle. THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK opens at the Alliance Theatre February 16 and runs through March 4. Reservations should be made early. The special student matinees for ANNE FRANK are already sold out, but group rates for evening performances are still available. For group rate in- formation, call Davis Allen at 892-2797.

HTH INTERNATIONAL TOURNEE OF ANIMATION Page 4 Profile/ February 10, 1*78 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.

Miss Mary Wallace Kirk who would have observed the an- niversary of her sixty-first year as a member of the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees this May, died Monday of last week. A graduate Mary Wallace Kirk Missed By All of the class of 1911, she was elected to the board in 1917. Miss Kirk was perhaps the longest serving trustee in the his- tory of American education.

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 different definition. STUDENTS! PARENTS! FACULTY! STAFF!

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. The Prof i I Vol. LXIII No. 12 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 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 continued on page 4 Business Program Detailed The following are details of the new business program men- tioned in the January 20 issue of the Profile.

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. continued on page 4 Profile/February 17, 1978 Page 3 arts/ entertainment what's happening "Frolic To Tickle Your Fancy" The Atlanta College of Art is having its Annual Student Show begin- ning February 9-25.

"Puss in Boots" is an en- chanting tale of a clever cat who dons a pair of magical boots to gain fame, fortune and a pretty princess for his master. Add a wily magician who uses his as- tonishing magictricks to become master of the world, his Gypsy side-kick and a magic mirror and "there is enough fun and frolic to tickle the fancy of any youngster," said Dr. Jack Brooking, chairman of the Agnes Scott theatre department. "The play has been directed to include lots of audience participation," explained Student director Jeannine Garbutt, '79, who is majoring in PUSS IN BOOTS, the clever cat with the magical boots, appears on stage at Agnes Scott Gollege February 18, 79 and 20 for the children's play "Puss in Boots." Performances Saturday and Sunday are at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. and Monday at 9 :30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. For tickets, call 377-1200 or 373-2571, extension 257. theatre. She also said, "Special feats of magic will be performed as part of the play." Atlanta area members of the "Puss in Boots" cast include Donald Betts of Decatur who plays Christoph, the poor young woodsman; Ed Walters of Grant Park who is the King and Raz Schreiber of Decatur who is the Enchanter. The cat in boots, who belongs to the woodsman Chris- topher, is played by Sandra Fowler '79, a student from Mem- phis, Tenn. The play was written by profes- sional playwright Madge Miller. She also wrote the children's play "OPQRS" which the Blackfriars presented last year. 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.

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.

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.

Page 4 Profile/February 17, 1978 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. Sophomore Parents Weekend continued from page 1 The President and Mrs. Perry will receive parents, sophomores, faculty and staff at the Tea Dance at 2:10 p.m. This is another of the new activities of the program. Entertainment will be provided by Graham Jackson, the well known musician at Pi t- tyPat's Porch, an Atlanta res- 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. Lynda Harris of impressive rectors ranging for John Stuart Mill to John Cleeves of Monty Python fame. The university buildings are scattered throughout the town; the house where I attend English lectures (once in a while) overlooks the castle ruins and sea. The residence in which I live (also once in a while) is about Va of a mile from town - a g.*iy stone building with oak stairways and turrets covered with ivy. As I walk to class, I pass by a hundred small shops, bakeries, and pubs all of which exude warmth; I dis- tinctly hear a wee glass of Glen- morang whiskey crying. "Come in out of the cold." The pace of life is so much slower here than at Scott, necessarily so, for how can you walk out of lecture at 4:00 into the cold, pitch black night and avoid the inevitable movement of your feet towards continued from page 1 the Star Hotel pub? You can't. So you sit in the pub and listen to the thick, musical accent of a bygone era amidst people who accept you with a quiet friend- liness even though you are a Yank from the colonies. Actually, the English, not the Scots, speak of the colonies, for the Scots, vic- tims of a history of abuse and ex- ploitation, are fiercely proud and sympathize with any other "underdog", especially a Southern America. As one Scot- tish nationalist told me, "Ach, well the only thing a Scot hates mores than an Englishman is an Englishman's accent." Lynda Harris 79 is currently- spending her junior year abroad at St. Andrews College, Scotland. She agreed to write about her ex- periences this year. We will print more about her studies and travels in subsequent issues. The Young People In Alcoholics Anonymous will sponsor a Rally Saturday. February 18 at the First Presbyterian Church, corner of Peachtree and 16th in Atlanta. A covered dish supper will begin at 6:30 with a speaker at 8:00. A dance will immediately follow. The speaker will be a member of the fellowship from Miami. The Rally is to encourage participation in the 21st International Conference of Young People in A.

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 applies only to the third 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."

Lynda Harris writes 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 ("divines"), however, were con- sidered to be above such earthly pleasure and were allowed to continued on page 4 in-side-view page 1 WOMEN'S RIGHTS TODAY lecture topics feature females page 2 LIQUOR IN THE DORMS the inside story page 3 ASC STUDENTS DIRECTING theater majors show their stuff page 4 CAMPUS CRIME RATES where are you when the lights go out? and ... .

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 continued on page 4 Letters to the Editor. . . 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 Attention aspiring journalists Atlanta, Ca. Mayl isthe deadline for aspiring young Southern newspapermen and women to submit applications for Ralph McGill Scholarships. The Ralph McGill Scholarship Fund offers scholarships of up to $1,500 each to students who have completed at least two years of college, and who have demonstrated a long-time interest in the news and editorial phase of newspapering. Jack Tarver, Chairman of the fund's ad- visory committee, said scholarships are limited to those young men and women whose roots lie in the South. Applicants must also convince the Awards Committee that they firmly intend to pursue a career in daily or weekly newspapering. Tarver said the Awards Committee wants to give scholarships to those who are likely to become leadersin the newspaper field. Successful applicants will be required to maintain a "B" average in order to keep the scholarship. A letter of not more than 500 words telling why the ap- plicant wants a scholarship, together with a photograph of the applicant, must ac- company each application. Applicants also must have a letter of recommendation from a college authority. Application blanks may be obtained from: The Ralph McGill Scholarship Fund; Box 4689, Atlanta. Georgia 30302. Profile/February 24, 1978 Page 3 arts/entertainment what's happening ART 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.

"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! joe Dale (right) - Director, The Toy Museum of Atlanta, and Jim Groover, builder, review plans for the interior settings. Page 4 Profile/ February 24, 1978 Security Office Releases Crime Report During the six months time, june - December, 1977, a total of 40 crimes were reported to the Agnes Scott Security Department. Out of the 40 crimes reported 77 were cleared by the Security Department. Out of the 11 crimes cleared 5 people were arrested or cited by the ASC Security Officers. Between 75 and 80% of the thefts occur inside the dorms. Total Thefts - 21 Thefts under $100-17 Thefts over $100-4 Total - DCR-1 (DCR means Dorm, Cleared, Recovered). Total - DNC-13 (DNC means Dorm.

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 Winter Quarter Examinations 1977-78 Details of examination procedures are available in the Agnes Scoff College Student Handbook, 1977-78, pages 47 and 48.

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?)

Out-side by Ruth Ann Relyea 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. Profile/ April 21, 1978 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.

FULL FACE: If s An Alien Continuity 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. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, On behalf of the tennis team, we would like to thank the following people. Ms. McConnel for her enthusiastic article about the team. Paxson Collins for her lovely rhyming poem about our weekend in Columbus. Kim Lenoir for her picture on the highway, and of course we wish to thank the members of the peanut gallery who have supported us from the sidelines. Thanks! The Tennis Team 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? Vicki Fitzgerald and Carmen Crumbley waiting for him to see me, I overheard two second-graders discussing my origin. The first conjecture was that I was a new teacher. I smiled. They talked a bit more. And the second by Jane Landon (April-1953) 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? 'Why Be A Brain' says Jane; Just Keep That Curve Curving Profile/ April 21, 1978 Page 3 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. by Sally Stamper 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 BULLETIN BOARD 77??

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."

In this dance, the 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. COURSE SELECTION WEEK May 2-1 0 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- Profile/ April 21, 1978 mitments." Melanie believes, "will strenghen the Board's collective insight". 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 independence" and feels as- sured of its continuing influence in the judgments and actions which will impel it. New members are: Diane Beaudoin, Melanie Best, Debby Daniel. Tish DuPont. Sandy Fowler, Linda Harris, Anne Jones, Deni Lamb, Ginny Lee, Diane Peterson, Peggy Pfeiffer, Ginny Risher, Ginny Rockwell, Donna Sanson, Sarah Windham. Mortar Board members enter Convocation to hear guest speaker Myrna Young, Professor of Classics. WHAT YOUR KISSES _ TASTE LIKE? If you smoke cigarettes, you taste like one.

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. TINA ROBERTSON - EDITOR 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 The following is a reprint by permission of the author. The column appeared in the April 14 issue of the TECHNIQUE, Georgia Tech's newspaper, by Robbie Farrell 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 grinned drunkenly from his shirt tenure. Age does not spell in- competence. And though Pepsi- minds will not allow this pos- sibility, age can and does bring a kind of wisdom. Sincerely, Bo Ball (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"? Barbara Mandel 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 continued on page 4 Profile/May 5, 1978 Page 3 3mt\xctB 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. continued in next week's Profile EARN EXTRA MONEY DURING SUMMER VACATION OR EVEN IN YOUR SPARE TIME WHILE SCHOOL IS IN SESSION.

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.

Page 4 Profile/May 5, 1978 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. college students in almost all of its offices throughout the coun- try. by Lee Harber 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 Gooey Times continued from page 2 that this clown probably still thinks Nixon was innocent, but I didn't bring it up.

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 day ordeal. Three men have been arrested and charged with kidnapping for ransom, but no trial is expected before the fall. 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 dormitory that has been in the works for some time, but yet has yet to be approved by state authorities. Henry Winkler was married to Stacey Weitzman on May 5. The wedding was attended only by family and friends, but a news conference was held following the ceremony. 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. Mopsy Widener Becky Johnson by Lynn Oswald 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 continued on page 5 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.

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.

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. Pictured L to R - Wayne Alderman, Malenie Millican & Carol Ratteree. Good Friday, 1 978. Sitting Northward 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. by Ginni Rockwell, Junior Year Abroad (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.

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 continued on page 4 by Janet McDonald 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. United States to be elected to that position. The Class of 1978 will begin their Commencement Exercises at 6:00 p.m. in the courtyard between Buttrick and Presser Halls. This year's senior class has the distinction of being the winner of the Class Scholarship Trophy for the past three consecutive years. President Perry will announce the class gift to the college at the Exercises. Seniors Hit Job Market by Betsy Broadwell 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 English and History major from Richmond, Virginia, who will enter the Rich's Trainee Program here in Atlanta. Becky Childress, a Political Science and continued on page 4 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 Kathy Boone (and Maxwell House). Many hands do make light labor. Tina Robertson 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." INTERESTED IN A PROFILE SUBSCRIPTION FOR NEXT YEAR? Due to the rise in postage rates, all subscriptions to the PROFILE will be raised to $3.25 next year.

Atlanta, Ga. 30345 Don't miss this chance to keep up on all the activities at Agnes Scott next year! 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 printed, please let us hear from you.

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 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. BULLETIN BOARD 77?^ 12th annual "Bathtub Race" //// be Sunday - 3.-00 p.m. - May 21 1978 - Southern Tech Campus - Marietta, Georgia.

Page 4 Profile/May 19, 1978 Awards To Be Presented At Convocation The annual Awards Con- vocation will be on May 24. The following is a list of awards to be presented by the departments: The chemistry department was invited by the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society to designate a rising senior chemistry major to receive one of the "Undergraduate Awards in Analytical Chemistry". This award is to encourage student interest in this field. The award consists of a year's membership in the Division of Analytical Chemistry and a subscription to its Journal.

The biology department will present the S. Leonard Doerp- inghaus Scholarship, from a fund established in memory of Dr. Doerpinghaus, professor of biology at Agnes Scott from 1958-1968. The scholarship is to be used specifically for summer field study in biology. The English department will be awarding the George P. Hayes Graduate Fellowship, the Southern Literary Festival prizes, the American Academy of Poets prize, the Robert Frost Prize for poetry or fiction, and the McKinney Book Award.

These books will be due by FRIDAY, June 2. On Wednesday, May 31, the library will begin to sign out books for the summer. PLEASE NOTE: Browsing books may be charged out but they are subject to the regular two week loan period. In other words, the browsing books cannot be charged out for the entire summer, but will be due their usual time, which is two weeks from the date signed out. The library will remain open until 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 20 and 27. It will remain open until 11:45 p.m. from Sun- day, May 21 - Friday, May 26. 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.
