Dr. Martin Performs Romantic, Classical Music

Organist for Agnes Scott
College, Dr. Raymond Martin,
will open the 1978-79 Agnes
Scott Faculty Recital Series with
a performance Monday, October
2, at the College. His recital is at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall and is
open to the public, free of
charge.

Dr. Martin will play two
different organs to perform
music in the classical and
romantic styles On a Schlicker
organ, which sounds like the
classical era ensemble, he will
play Paul Hindemith's "Sonata
III for Organ," three of Dietrich
Buxtehude's "Chora le-
Preludes" and J S Bach's
"Prelude and Fugue in C."

On an Austin organ, which
imitates the full orchestral
sound of the romantic era, he
will perform Cesar Frar.ck's

Dear Mom and Dad,

Only have time for a quick note
in between my physically hectic
schedule. Am still breathless
after having Mr Gignilliat in the
basement of Walters dorm and,
then, running across campus to
give something to MJ. Barton in
a little room off of Rebekah dorm

Made a big A double S of
myself the first day of classes.
Was suppossed to have met Mr.
Cochran in McKinney Date
Parlor. Instead, I got lost and
ended up walking in on Dr.
Brown and a bunch of girls in
Walters basement!

Sure is not around here these
days

Saw an unusual sight the
other day: Mrs. Woods climbing
through a window off of the

"Choral No. 1 in E," Charles
Marie Widor's "Adagio" from
"Symphony No. 6" and Henri
Mulet's "Tu es petra . . ." from
"Esquisses Byzantines."

Dr. Martin is professor of
music at Agnes Scott. He is also
organist for the Lutheran
Church of the Redeemer in
Atlanta and chairman of the
southeastern region of the
American Guild of Organists. A
graduate of the Julliard 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 is made of
3,150 pipes controlled by elec-
tro-pneumatic action. According
to Dr. Martin, these pipes are
arranged in 45 ranks or tonal
sets that imitate the instruments

porch of Rebekah.

Met with Miss Cabisus this
afternoon. She and Mr. Taggart
share a bedroom in some house
on Candler street. So do Mr.
Cochran and Mr. Hayworth, as
well as a group of other profes-
sors. I think they call the place
the Hug House.

Thanks for your letter! Found it
in the Lower Dining Hall last
Saturday.

Gotta run! Am supposed to
meet Mr. Sheffer on the topfloor
of the Health Center where
students can spend the night,
sometimes. But before that, I
have to meet with a group in the
AA room.

P S. Haven't had much of a
chance to go out, yet. Been too
busy around here with work and

professors.

If an ASC student wrote a
letter like this one to her parents,
they would probably waste no
time in packing her up and ship-
ping her off to a more sedate
school, such as the University of
Alabama or the University of
Georgia. Actually, there is noth-
ing "shocking" about the
contents of this letter it's all
fairly true to the present life on
the ASC campus. What is shoc-
king, however, is the images
provoked by one who might read
such a letter while not being
familiar with the Buttrick ren-
novations and all of its conse-
quences.

Near the end of last spring
quarter, Buttrick renovations
began with the professors hav-

ing to clear out their offices and
forming an obstacle course of
packed boxes on the third floor.
Workers as well as the Ad-
ministration intended to have
the second and third floors
repaired by the end of the
summer, while the ground floor
would be kept intact and, then,
rennovated during the next
summer. Classes and regular
Buttrick life, then, were to be
able to continue without any
interruptions from the planned
construction.

It seems, however, that ASC
should have learned from past
experience that rennovation
projects around here never go
along as planned. Two years
ago, when students and faculty
returned from summer vacation,

they discovered that summer
repairs had not only furnished
Rebekah with a new roof, but
also provided a new look in the
library, complete with a set of in-
visible furniture, missing books,
and a whole crew of workmen
hanging from the chandeliers
and rolling along on ladders. As
if that wasn't enough, the
constuction of the flagpole (or is
it a Maypole?) went underway,
more specifically between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
and during exams as well.

This year, we're faced with
similar inconveniences due to
extended rennovation projects
classes in dorm basements
and date parlors, faculty offices
scattered around campus,

Local Artist Displays Paintings

Ferdinand Warren

The Ferdinand Warren Collec-
tion of paintings by the
nationally acclaimed artist
Ferdinand Warren of Atlanta will

construction noise, etc. but
not without good reason. After
workers had finished knocking
out a few walls, drilling holes,
and ripping up the tile floors on
second and third Buttrick, they
discovered numerous cracks
that were too large to be
neglected Consequently, other
work had to be delayed so that
the workers could attend to the
more immediate job of drilling
along those cracks to form a
canal for a solidifying element.

The need to extend the ren-
novation work on second and
third Buttrick as well as the
decision to go ahead and repair
the ground floor at the same
time called for an impromptu
meeting of the Board of Trustees
for an approval In late August
just over two weeks before the
beginning of school the ad-
ministration found themselves
having to look for temporary
locations for classrooms and of
fices and Mr. Black, the new
Director of the Physical Plant as
well as the man put in charge of
finding all the extra space,
probably discovered that he
wanted to look for a new job as
well

As for now, the inside of But-
trick (except for the first floor) is a
total wreck The halls are
cluttered with tools, concrete
dust dismantled blackboards,
perforated ceiling covers,
exposed wiring, and dug up floor
tiles The ground floor is almost
completely unrecognizable,
except for a few stray posters an
nouncing last spring's TGIF
parties. G PIRG. activities, and
Rep minutes Except for the
clutter, the second floor is
basically the same Third But-
trick. however, looks like the

workers have vented the sort of
rage that most ASC students
would like to exhibit during
exam-time. Exposed bricks have
been ripped from the walls,
doors are off their hinges, toilet
paper has been rolled down the
hall, and aluminum air vents
block the entrances to several
rooms. In Mr. Sheffer's old of-
fice, someone has written on the
blackboard, If Tfr 2 then cakes are
round."

To be sure, the Buttrick repairs
are not the last of the series of
rennovations around campus. In
a few years, after ASC has
finished fixing up what she
already has, the college hopes to
begin building a new gym, track
field, and student center
Although we'll all be alumnae (".

and may they get rich!") by
then, at least future ASC
students won't have to put up
with a winter quarter Life Saving
class in a 40 degree swimming
pool or with a "psychodelic"
student center with fish hanging
from the ceilings

How ever long it takes to ren-
novate Buttrick as well as to fill
in several cracks, be sure not to
hold your breath until the "But-
trick Blues" have passed over
This year's Senior class,
however might be able to have at
least one quarter's worth of
classes in the "new" Buttrick,
depending on how well the ren
novations progress and whether
or not the workers run into some
other unforeseen problem

well as you can) the new kind of

military alliance of Syria,
Algeria, Libya, South Yemen and

its product in New York two

ASC Faculty Reinvigorated

by Melanie Best

"I almost feel like a freshman,-

Don Young confesses from
behind his desk in the infirmary
And he is they all are, in a way,
this new crop of professors at
Agnes Scott. Poised alertly for
their new academic experience,
these faculty members exude an
excitement comparable to that of
the class of '82.

Autumn, while marking the
death of summer, engenders
nevertheless some sense of
exhilaration. On campuses the
challenge of learning a plethora
of new faces contributes to the
high pitch. Year after year one
feels this at Agnes Scott: scurry-
ing characterizes the fall quarter
atmosphere. But novelty, cool-
ing gradually to a pleasant
freshness, may very well remain
the theme of this 1978-79
academic session. Our faculty
newcomers should contribute
greatly to this changing aura.

They are an impressive lot
They earned degrees from
Colgate, Duke, U Va., Emory,
Ohio State They have rendered

teaching services at Penn. State,
South Carolina, Bosphorus
University. And twelve of our
departments are fortunate
enough to have an addition of
their kind.

The assembly of new full-time
instructors includes Anne
Warner This sprightly woman is
by training a poet; her doctoral
dissertation concerns twentieth
century American poetry.
However, Mrs. Warner's own
writing consumes less of her
time at present than does that of
others. She is undertaking two
sections of English 101 and the
innovative 210 courses, after
having taught creative writing at
Callenwolde. Classes at the arts
center challenge any instructor
because of their diversity of
students. Policemen, manual
laborers and housewives com-
prise the rolls and generate a
fascinating classroom
experience. The balance for
Anne Warner's professional life
comes from her family a hus-
band, two children, and two
dogs.

A native Virginian, Donald
Young takes his place at Agnes
Scott after a teaching stint at U.
of South Carolina. This math
professor specializes in control
theory, a branch of differential
equations But his interests
definitely extend beyond the
theoretical and abstract A
book, and music lover, Mr
Young also admits to being
an amateur astronomer He
should prove an eager explorer
of Atlanta Already he ap-
preciates his association with
the Agnes Scott community "I
feel the same excitement here
as I did just starting as an
undergraduate at Duke," he
beams in his characteristic way
"Agnes Scott is the friendliest
place I've ever been "

"My hobby is people That's
why I teach." With such a
philosophy John Toth earns a
hearty welcome. He takes over a
variety of theatre
courses dramatic literature
theatre h istory, oral
interpretation and has am-
bitions for a future curriculum

Honor Court
Revamps Image

At this time of the year, Honor
Court is primarily concerned
with orienting freshmen and
other new students tothe Agnes
Scott Honor System. Most of our
energies are directed towards
hall meetings and discussion
groups where the foundations
and particulars are ingrained
(hopefully) in the minds of the
freshmen. After this period of
orientation Honor Court hopes to
move placidly along into fall
quarter exams and into a new
period of orientation and
explanation. This time of year
seems to be a popular one for
cases and these are dealt with
accordingly. Honor Court ushers
winter quarter in with Honor
Emphasis Week in an effort to
reassert the values of the Honor
System to upperclassmen,
who have been exempt from
orientations for a while and have
missed Honor Courts' orations.
In the spring Honor Court will
work with the ADVANCE and
Applicants' Weekend programs
and will correspond with
prosepctive students sothey will
have a better understanding of
the Honor System and how it
works.

Such are the typical manifes-
tations of Honor Court at Agnes
Scott. This year a change is
made in a spirit of affirmative ac-
tion, for Honor Court is
concerned principally with
promoting the Honor System on
campus with fostering a sense of
[responsibility and trust which is
indigenous to the Honor System,
its purpose. While on occasion

Honor Court must act as police-
in-residence and will have to
conduct a case or search a room,
this is certainly not a favorite
pastime

What is desired is to create an
atmosphere of respect for the
Honor System so that the above
will not happen. This year Honor
Court wants especially to em-
phasize its positive role on cam-
pus and to try to escape a
military image. Always physical
manifestations have been based
on a philosophy of affirmative
action.

Honor Court began its "face
lift" this year during orientation
by holding discussion groups
with freshmen and faculty
members. During those talks the
faculty and Honor Court
members tried to explain the
merits of the Honor System both
in terms of social life and
academics. The particulars (i.e.
the "don'ts" and rules) have
been put off until later hall
meetings because it was felt that
a look at the bases for the Honor
System-honor, integrity, res-
ponsibility, and trust are of
primary importance and that
with this background the
"don'ts" and rules become
almost a matter of common
sense and much less for fear as
they have been in the past.

Honor Court plans to continue
face lift campaign and heartily
solicits support in helping Honor
Court lose its police force
appearance and become a truly
positive force.

Health Center
Provides Many Services

No, the faculty is not sick. It
may appear that way though
since several faculty offices are
now located onthe upperfloorof
the Infirmary. But, the Health
Center is still operated under the
careful supervision of Rosemary
Kriner.

The regular hours of the
Health Center are Mon-
dayFriday 8:00 to 6:00 , a
gynecologist will be available to
general check-ups, PAP tests,
and sex and birth control
counseling. If a student should
become sick enough to need
overnight care in the infirmary,
someone will be on hand to stay
through the night.

A new service of the Health
Center this year is a Student
Handbook of Health Information
that will be distributed at dorm

meetings. The purpose of the
hardbook, designed by Ms.
Kriner in conjunction with
Interdorm, is to assist students
with minor health care
problems. The handbooks will be
on the walls and with the Senior
Residents of the dorms.
Hopefully, the handbooks will
aid minor difficulties that may
arise at times when the Health
Center is not open.

The Infirmary has small sup-
plies of perscriDtion medicines
for emergencies, but it does not
give out supplies. It will,
however, instruct in over the
counter buying or someone can
call in a prescription.

The Health Center has set up a
Referal System with doctors in
special fields such as dentistry
and opthamology. They may also
work our sessions with a
psychiatrist if students feel the

Students Encounter
Desert Life

In the dry 107 degree heat of
the Arizona desert, Dr. Harry
Wistrand introduced his seven
students to field biology. En-
countering desert life first hand,
the students learned why most
of the animals are nocturnal and

how both the plants and the
animals are specially adapted for
the harsh desert life.

The students kept a record of
their observations as they
traveled through Portal,
Phoenix, San Diego, Tucson, and

Big Bend National Park.

From August 24 - September
15, Sarah Cambell, '81, Lisa
Cameron, '79, Leslie Doyle, '79,
Mary Beth Gardner, '90, Evelyn
Kirby, '79, Alison Taylor, '80,
andZoy Tiniacos, '81 , spenttheir
days studying plants and their
nights observing animals. Dur-
ing one of their nightly
expeditions, the extremely rare
Jaguarundi cat was spotted by
Dr. Wistrand and his students.
The trip proved to be a rewarding
experience for everyone in-
volved.

need.

The Health Center will offer
several special programs
throughout the year. "Ad-
justments to College Life" ses-
sions will be held on October
second at six-thirty p.m. and on
October eleventh at seven p.m.
The Fireside Chats that are
usually held at this time of year
will take place during winter
quarter with a gynecologist.
Other special programs to be
offered are Cardio-Pulmonary
Resuscitation, Breast Self-
Exams, First Aid, and other
preventive health programs all
with dates to be set.

Ms. Kriner and all involved
with the Health Center hope
everyone will take advantage of
what they offer.

GLAMOUR Adds Country Fair Returns

New Feature

In order to meet the needs of
the working student, the college
returnee as well as the
undergraduate in a traditional
four-year college program,
GLAMOUR has revised and
expanded its monthly "College"
column. The new feature, titled
Education, will cover all forms
of education including
vocational training, part-time
studies and graduate programs.
It makes its debut in the October
issue of the magazine.

Topics that are covered in the
first Education page: "How To
Get Into The School You Want,"
a 13-point plan directed toward
improving a woman's chances of
being accepted by colleges and
graduate schools acknowledged
to be the best job-training
grounds; "College Without
Classes," a guide to six
publications which detail where
and how to get an external
degree; and "College Calendar,"
a regular feature of the new
format, which spotlights dates of
the month of special interest to
students.

registration and test dates for
five different national exams in-
cluding the Law Admission Test
and the Scholastic Achievement
Test, offers advice on taking ad-
vantage of Thanksgiving airline
fares, financial aid information,
and a summer job exchange.

According to recent surveys,
80% of the magazine's
readership works full or part-
time, 28% in professional or
managerial capacities. The high
achievers among GLAMOUR'S
working readership want to
work indefinitely, advance
themselves in their fields, and
fulfill themselves in a career
above and beyond the financial
renumeration that accrues. It is
in their interests that the
Education page has been
devised. It is GLAMOUR'S inten-
tion, with its expanded
educational coverage, to help
each of its 6.5 million readers
reach her own individual goal.

The award-winning Prater's
Mill Country Fair will be held
Columbus Day weekend, Oc-
tober 7 and 8, at the historic
Prater's Mill near Dalton, Ga.

Built in 1859 by Benjamin
Franklin Prater, the mill is one
of the few grist mills left in
Georgia. Still in operable con-
dition, it has been placed on the
National Register of Historic
Places by the U.S. Department of
the Interior.

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 Day weekend in
October.

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
blacksmithing, spinning, weav-
ing and hand-tufting
bedspreads, a cottage industry
which flourished in the Dalton
area in the early 1900 s.

Other activities include
canoeing on the Coahulla Creek,
pony rides through the woods,
having a picture taken in old-
fashioned costume, and wat-
ching a mock Civil War Battle
staged by an authentic Civil War
group featured in the Disney
movie, "Million Dollar Dixie
Deliverance".

Entertainment for the two day
event features gospel singing,
square dancing, country music,
clogging, old time fiddling and
the 3 D's Plus Dad Barber Shop
Quartet.

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.

The country store, also open to
the public, is now the studio of

Terry McGehee
Recounts Visit to India

Terry McGehee from the Art
Department at Agnes Scott
College attended a Summer
Fulbright Seminar in Indian art
and architecture this summer.
Ms McGehee stayed two mon-
ths in India. The first four weeks
were spent traveling; the second
four weeks entailed study at the
Benares Hindu University

Ms McGehee visited
monuments, sculptures, and
museums throughout India.
Recording her travels with many
pictures, Ms McGehee de-
scribes the Taj Mahal as "seem-
ing to float" as she
photographed this example of
moghul architecture during the
dawn and dusk hours During
the day she explained it was
extremely hot) "The glass win-

dows of our rooms were warm to
the touch Cold water was rarely
available."

While touring the Ajanta and
Ellora caves not far from Bom-
bay, Ms McGehee saw Buddist
temples carved more than 2,000
years ago from rock. The painted
murals in the rock-cut temples
lend information about ancient
Indian life and mythological
stories noted Ms. McGehee.
Near the Bay of Gengal, old
Hindu temples were observed
during her stay in huts on the
beach. With wide eyes and
outstretched arms, Ms.
McGehee describes the baked
fish served her.

The last four weeks were
spent in Benares, India, which is
the holy city of the Hindus. Ms.

McGehee attended lectures
presented by various professors.
She not only learned about In-
dian art, but also had time for ac-
tivities such as riding an
elephant. Ms 'McGehee
remembered the warmth of the
people, despite their crowded
conditions.

Ms. McGehee added, "The trip
was such an up, it is difficult to
choose only a few highlights."
The "living Jain" temple in Bom-
bay was unusual to visit. She
goes on to say." ... at this time
decorative Islamic symbols, as
well as Indian symbols in
decorations are part of my
thoughts. I'm sure this will be
reflected in my work." Ms.
McGehee plans a slide presen-
tation of her trip.

the illusion of dusk
falls into the desert

Maybe we'll cure
cancer without your
help, but don't bet
your life on it.

The way it stands today,
one American out of four will
someday have cancer. That
means it will strike some
member in two out of three
American families.

To change those statistics
we have to bring the promise
of research to everyday
reality. And to expand our
detection program and
techniques. And that takes
money. Lots of money.
Money we won't
have unless you help us.

The American Cancer
Society will never give up
the fight. Maybe we'll find
the answers even without
your help. But don't bet your
life on it. i

Don't miss this chance
to keep up on all activities
at Agnes Scott next year!

The President's Commission
on White House Fellowships is
seeking highly qualified can-
didates for its 1 979-80
competition. Fourteen to
nineteen positions are open for
this extraordinary but highly
competitive opportunity

President Lyndon B. Johnson
established the program in 1 964
to give outstanding younger
Americans firsthand experience
in the process of governing of
the nation. The White House
Fellowship program is a non-
partisan effort to draw in a few of
the brightest and most promis-
ing people from all over the
country to work at a unique level
in the Federal government for a
year.

Presidents Nixon, Ford, and
Carter have continued the
Fellowship program with a high
level of support. President Carter
has removed the specific age

addition, History of America
Musical Theatre. A very tall and
commanding stature ac-
companies his warm and outgo-
ing personality. The
Mid westerner of course gives
acting a top priority among his
hobbies, and confesses to being
somewhat of a gourmet cook. In
coming to Agnes Scott Mr. Toth
gratefully rejoins the liberal artrs
community; he attended a fine
men's school, Wabash College
in Indiana, as an undergraduate.
Through his union with us he
should be able to most
successfully pursue his premier
avocation, people.

Mary Eloise Carter is no
stranger to Atlanta; in her five
years here she has received a
Masters at Emory and done
some teaching. But the aspect of
the city she knows best is
probably unexplored by most of
us. The lively new member of the
biology staff is a plant ecologist
and has extensively researched
the local forest system, which
even a metropolis of two million
manages to retain. Mrs. Carter
can share her time spent out-
doors with her husband, for they
both enjoy hiking and sailing
their boat on Lake Lanier.

Soft-spoken Paul Frame is
another newcomer to Campbell
Hall He made his way adven-
turously by motorcycle from
Long Island, where he worked at
Brookhaven National
Laboratories, to Atlanta three
weeks ago. Because his roots
are in Toronto, the climate, if not
the temperament of the people
here, should allow opportunities
for readjustment on his part. At
Brookhaven the youngest
biologist studied microtubules;
cell structures, and their
alterations, are his specialty
Our science program impresses
him; the size and quality of the
biology library at least match
Toronto's. Speculating about
mysterious phenomena seems
to constitute his theme, both in-
side and out of his professional
life: Mr. Frame has collected
books on that more inexact

limitations. The program is now
open to all those who are early in
their careers. Fellows have been
chosen from a wide variety of
careers and professions in-
cluding law, medicine, teaching,
state and local government and
the arts.

The Fellows serve for one
year, usually as a special as-
sistant to the Vice President, a
member of the President's
Cabinet, or to a presidential as-
sistant. The Fellows may be in-
volved in the development of
special programs, assist in
speech writing, engage in
interdepartmental task forces, or
do other tasks assigned by their
principals. The knowledge that
each Fellow gains in his work as-
signment is shared with the
other Fellows during the year-
long educational program which
is conducted in addition to the
work assignments and provides

Facu Ity

science, sorcery and magic.

Because Julliard was too big
and ruthlessly
competitive "the pits" he
called it Steve Hall returned to
U. of Texas to complete his
degrees in music. Agnes Scott's
department, in which he
replaces Jay Fuller for the year,
ought to agree with him.
Gregariousness and informality
are delightful qualities in a
performer, a fine classical
pianist at that. Versatility
characterizes Mr. Hall's
repertoire. He enjoys chamber
music, and of course derives a
special thrill from bringing a
concerto to life with orchestral
backing. But he labels himself a
"jazz freak." Without hesitation
the man can name his favorite
classical keyboard artists, Emil
Gilels and Mauricio Poll in i . In
the jazz realm he has more dif-
ficulty there are so many. This
pianist keeps his future goals
well in mind: to win a
competition, teach master
classes, join the faculty of a ma-
jor university, cut some records.
But mainly he wants to keep
playing as much as possible.

Robert Hyde is a dynamic in-
dividual and a fine as-
tronomer in other words an ap-
propriate choice for Director of
the Bradley Observatory. Mr.
Hyde married early after his
sophomore year, to his high
school sweetheart and has
[Since combined raising a family
with an intense pursuit of his
career. His M.S. work at New
Hampshire dealt with satellites;
for two years in Boulder,
Colorado he did timely research
on ozone depletion; and more
recently has studied infrared
radio transfer. The man displays
a refreshing inquisitiveness
about new experiences. He
eagerly absorbs information and
opinions on Atlanta, which he
likes after preliminary exposure.
He wants to know the attitudes
we as members of this academic
enclave hold toward Agnes
Scott. The astronomer seems to
be a go-getter. He hopes his

the Fellows an opportunity to
meet with government leaders,
journalists, and others related to
government.

The Commission is looking for
persons who will be the future
leaders of their chosen career or
profession and of their com-
munity. Applicants should
possess enough credentials of
accomplishments to show their
potential for their leadership and
of community or professional
contributions.

The competition for the
Fellowship is open to all United
States citizens. There are no oc-
cupational, age, sex, racial, or
religious restrictions. However,
current employees of the
Federal Government are not
eligible with the exception of
career military personnel.

For additional information or
an application send a postcard
with name and address to the

excitement about the uni-
queness of our observatory, one
of the region's finest, will infect
the college.

An Istanbul native returns, in
a way, to her home: this sum-
marizes the story of Scott alum
Ayse llgaz-Carden as she joins
the psychology department as
an assistant professor. "It's
great to be back," the lovely and
animated woman admits. She
has taught in Turkey, and
married, since earning her
degree here. Her chemist-hus-
band works at Georgia Tech
under a NASA grant, studying
the chemical interaction of
plants for proposed space
stations. The Cardens plan to
partake liberally of Atlantan's
cultural offerings. Theatre
remains her special love, ever
since she acted in one of Dana's
first productions after the
building's opening. The college
hasn't really changed much, ac-
cording to Mrs. Carden. The
liberal arts claim her firm
loyalties, as does a women's
institution where females are
more likely to realize their full
intellectual potential.

Queries

Have you ever felt that long,
long ago some old biddies sat in
an unknown conference room
on the top floor of Buttrick and
planned rules and policies to
make your life unbearable? Have
you ever felt that the ad-
ministration were after you?
Have you ever felt that Honor
Court videotaped everything that
went on in your room? Have you
ever wondered why there are
bars on the windows in Main's
basement?

Amidst all the love and
concern that really does exist on
this campus, sometimes
misunderstanding occur. This
column, this year, is dedicated to
clearing up some of these mis-
conceptions about our campus
This column is also a tool for you.

Elizabeth Hardwick to Speak on Women

Elizabeth Hardwick, writer
and advisory editor to "The New
York Review of Books,'' will
speak Oct. 16 at Agnes Scott
College at 8:1 5 p.m. in the Dana
Fine Arts Building. Her lecture is
entitled 'The Romantic Will in
Creative Women."

Sponsored by the Agnes Scott
College Lecture Committee
Series, Miss Hardwick's talk is
open to the public, free of
charge.

In her lecture, Miss Hardwick
said she plans "to consider a
certain kind of flamboyant,
rather rebellious, highly original,
creative woman wordly
figures like George Sand,
Margaret Fuller, Mary
Wollstonecraft. These are
women who, by their work, and
by their lives, create a dramatic
image of themselves, women
who seek experience. I will con-

trast them with another kind of
creative woman such as Emily
Bronte or Emily Dickinson."

M iss Hardwick is the author of
two novels, "The Ghostly Lover"
and "The Simple Truth," and of
two books of essays, "A View of
My Own" and "Seduction and
Betrayal, Women and
Literature." She is a contributor
to "New Yorker," "Harper's"
and "Partisan Review."

She has most recently edited
the book "Rediscovered Fiction
by American Women: A
Personal Selection," which in-
cludes stories by 19th and 20th
century women writers such as
Louisa May Alcott, Ellen
Glasgow and Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps Ward.

A member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters,
Miss Hardwick became in 1967
the first woman to receive the
George Jean Nathan Award for

dramatic criticism. She is one of
the original founders of "The
New York Review of Books."

A native of Kentucky, Miss
Hardwick earned her bachelor's
and master's degrees at the
University of Kentucky. She did

Promise of Fun in
Black Cat Plans

Black Cat, one of the campus's
favorite traditions, is the official
end of freshman orientation and
marks the beginning of an excit-
ing weekend for the entire
Agnes Scott community. It was
not always this way, however.
Black Cat originated in 1 91 4 as a
relief for freshmen suffering
from upperclass hazing. Black
Cat was the idea of the college
physician, Dr. Mary Sweet,
whose love of cats was the even-
tual source of the activities' title.
In the very beginning, these ac-
tivities only included a skit
contest between the sophomore
and freshman classes, but Black
Cat has now been expanded to
include a bonfire with spirit and
song competitions, class games,
a campus picnic, the Black Cat
Production by the junior class, a
Quad party, and a formal dance
at one of Atlanta's downtown
hotels. Black Cat includes the
traditional unveiling of the

freshman class' mascot, which
has (hopefully) been kept a
secret from the sophomores un-
til announced at the bonfire. This
year's Black Cat activities will
take place on October 1 9-0c-
tober 22, with a timetable as
follows:

October 19, Thursday at 9:00
p.m. The Bonfire and Song
Competition in the Ampitheatre.
October 20, Friday at 3:45 p.m.
The field events and class games
on the Hockey Field. At 5:30
p.m., the campus picnic also on
the Hockey Field and at 7:30
p.m., the traditional Black Cat
Production in Gaines followed
by a party in the Quad.

October 21, Saturday at 9:00
p.m. The Black Cat Dance featur-
ing "Staircase" at the Atlanta
Hilton.

October 22, Sunday at 12:00
p.m. Lunch on the Lawn on the
Quad. "

"Ladyhouse Blues" Reveals a Variety of Characters

by Kinslea Motter

I watched them jump, gurgle,
make faces and assorted sounds
as they warmed up. No, I wasn't
watching Romper Room. It was
an audition, and for three days

(Monday September 25, Tues-
day, September 26, and
Wednesday, September 27) I
watched eleven of Agnes Scott's
talented actresses transpose

Rita Kitts reading for "LADYHOUSE BLUES'

into five various characters, one
of which each girl hoped to
perform in this fall's production,
"Ladyhouse Blues."

Although, all the characters in
the play are women, their ages
and personalities differ vastly.
Dr. Brooking described each
character to the casting com-
mittee and myself.

Liz is the 41 -year old mother, a
very earthy, warm, un-
sophisticated, yet attractive
woman for her age. Her eldest
daughter Helen, 24, was once
very beautiful, but life turns
around for her as she finds
herself dying of T.B. She is a
cranky, bitter, complaining
character who has a strange
acceptance for older world
values, specifically those
pertaining to men.

In contrast. there is 1 8-yearold
Terry, liberated, idealistic, and
energetic. She is a woman of the
world who knows what she
wants, and how to go about get-
ting it.

Then there is Dot, a21 -yearold
beauty who has spent time
modeling in New York. She's
sophisticated, cooks, but weak
when dealing with pain. She is
concerned with herself, a bit
vain, but a likeable character.
Dot is 6 months pregnant, and
has left her husband to come
home and have her baby. As the
play progresses we find that

oerhaps this is not the only
reason for her return home.

Last, and least in age, is Eylie,
16, who adds a fresh
youthfulness to the cast. She's
an outspoken and funny
character, whose presence
relieves some of the tension
from the play.

In casting this play, Dr. Brook-
ing stresses that because the
play is highly realistic, he must
have believable, honest people
to play the parts. But before he
could cast the play, Dr. Brooking
had to spend a long period of
time becoming familiar with it.
He had to read the play over and
over to analyze the characters
and visualize them. He had to
consider such things as physical
coloring, voice tempo, profile,
and then he had to find a group
which complimented each
other.

After all these preparations
Dr. Brooking and his casting
committee came to a final
decision Wednesday night and
cast the following people for
parts in "Ladyhouse Blues."
Carol Tueit, a return to college
student will play Liz, the mother,
while Maggie Evans will portray
Helen and Marietta Townshend
will take the part of Terry. Rita
Kitts will be the character Dot,
and Paige Hamilton will play
their youngest sister Eylie.

Congratulations to a fine cast!

/ too run to my mail box with the zeal of a spring runner.
Today, upon opening the minute door, there was a letter waiting
for me. It was a fat one at that.

My disbelief of the contents cannot be expressed. But, what
would your reaction have been to after anxiously ripping off the
flap of an envelope only to find it pregnant with a letter dated
1927! Shock and bewilderment set in when I saw that they were
addressed to "Angelist Mother and Daddy".

It was a pretty nasty joke. (Everyone Nod) But after further
probing through the contents, I dislodged an explanation to the
occurrance.

Apparently, a Miss Mary Winters attended Agnes Scott in
1927. This was her Freshman year. The social restrictions of that
era were conducive to much letter writing. Miss Mary enjoyed
writing to "Angelist Mother and Daddy."

Her sister found the letters this past summer and sent them to
me. Needless to say, these letters are interesting to students
attending Agnes Scott fifty one years later.

Miss Mary signed her letters "Bitty" all of (he names remain
the same. (There are not any innocent involved who need
anonimity for protection)

The first letter appears on the Features page and the rest will
follow weekly. I hope that you will enjoy reading these letters as I
have.

Letters

Dear Editor:

I am writing in response to a
frustrating experience, namely
the failure of the bookstore to
order enough books for the
students' classes The bookstore
exists to serve the students and
to make money The ordering
procedure is based on the exact
number of people expected to
take a particular course The
question arises Why are not
more books ordered than are
expected to be needed? If a
surplus number of books existed
after the drop/add period, then
the excess could be mailed back
to the company, or kept until the
next quarter if needed then A
change of ordering procedures
would mean better service for
the students, and a more ef-
ficient bookstore Perhaps if the
bookstore personnel were re-
quired to attend three weeks of
Calculus or Evolution without a
book, they would respond to
students needs with more than
just an apology

To the faculty and students:

As members of the Duke
Southern Africa Coalition, we
would like to invite you to a
conference we're sponsoring al
Duke on November 11 and 12,
1978 Called "Universities and
Southern Africa,'' the
conference's main goal will be to
establish a network of campus
groups in the Southeast
concerned with Southern
African issues

At the conference, we plan to
include informational
workshops where we can
become better informed about
Southern Africa and more ac-
tion-oriented workshops dealing
with the ways students and
teachers can change
government and corporate
policy toward Southern Africa by
mobilizing a constituency
around Southern African issues
As you perhaps know, students
and faculty members have been
organizing around the question
of U S investments in Southern
Africa over the last two years

Pope John Paul I died of a
heart attack in his sleep on
September 29. In the first month
of his reign as 263rd pontiff of
the Roman Catholic Church, he
had won the affection of his
audiences with his humble and
warm-hearted manner. Around
the world, religious leaders and
followers of the "smiling pope"
reacted with sorrow and
disbelief at the news. After only
34 days, the Roman Catholic
Church will again begin the 2,-

Sex or Celibacy?

by Eleanor Graham

Being students at a woman's
college we may all feel like
celibates at one time or another.
Though we young maidens may
agonize over our deprived con-
dition one female philosopher
perceives celibacy as perhaps
lore desirable than sex! Even
more surprising is that this
philosopher is one of Agnes
Scott's own - Deborah A. Rosen,
an Agnes Scott graduate in
1966, a member of Phi Beta
Kappa and a recipient of the
Ph.D. from Stanford. Currently,
Ms. Rosen is a professor at the
University of New Orleans.

Professor Rosen returned to
the campus on September 28 to
present a paper entitled
"Sexuality and Beyond."
Though the topic is not her
specialty Ms. Rosen mastered
some essential concepts of
sexuality. Considering the com-
plexity and abstrusity of her
topic, and the diversity of her
small audience Ms. Rosen
performed very well. Personally,
I found her approach to the com-
mon, teleological model of
sexuality very enlightening, as
well as absolutely refreshing.

Essentially "Sexuality and
Beyond" is Ms Rosen's res-
ponse to one philosopher who
holds such a model of sexuality
Her arguments against this
"epistemic" model ultimately
become a plea for celibacy. From
the start Rosen discounts the
notion that sex has a purpose
She logically concludes that
"people have reasons, sex does
not " Rosen also questions the
idea that "knowing'' one
another in a sexual manner
must exclude the "scientific
focus that we all share," thereby
rendering the sexual act a purely
unique and intimate affair For
Rosen the notion that
permanence is an intrinsic value
or that permanent relations are
"the only ones to which value
accrues" is also debatable

Rosen continues to argue
against this teleological model

for sexuality by suggesting
several ideas. According to her it
is highly possible that pleasures
in sex may be distinguished from
sexual pleasures In other
words, "sexuality may be more
what we are than what we do."
It seems to me that her most
striking argument is the simple
proposition that "sexual act iv it i y
may not be as important or
desirable as most of us believe."
Her major reason for ques-
tioning the desirability of sex is
the irrationality or incontinence
that might be involved in the
sexual act. Naturally, this
argument evoked many valid
retorts from the audience.

I cannot deny that I was im-
pressed with Ms. Rosen or that I
enjoyed her reading. But I also
cannot deny that her paper con-
tained many "rough spots"
which I believe are damaging to
her argument. For instnee,
some of her reasons for doubting
the desirability of sex were much
too glossed over. Rosen states
that "sexuality is being forced to
serve needs that exceed its
capacity." I feel that this
statement needs to be
elaborated upon and explained
further to truly justify her
position If Ms. Rosen feels this
reason to be relevant to her
argument then she certainly
should manifest its importance
to her thesis.

I believe that one major
problem with Ms Rosen's paper
is that she relies much too
heavily on her weakest
argument, i.e., that the sexual
act often involves irrationality or
incontinence. Though she
devotes most of her time to this
argument, Ms. Rosen fails to
adequately define irrationality
with regard to sexuality She ap-
parently assumes irrationality to
be either not in the best interest
of the individuals involved, im-
moral, or somehow inhuman

In this paper Dr Rosen limits
her model of sexuality to one of a

1976 and 1977. Police statistics
show, however, that major
crime is up 1 5.03 percent in the

Queries

by T. Lancaster

There are several reasons why
the upperclassmen have been
asked not to road-trip freshmen.
. . or visa versa. The main reason
is that the academic life of the
students has been disrupted by
road-tripping. Many students
find it hard to study while being
pulled into a car, blindfolded,
and taken to places unknown
Also, this guideline keeps
everyone on the same grounds,
i.e., since the freshmen are res-
tricted to campus for BC ac-
tivities, it seems fair that the
other students should also be
limited. In the past years, some
Black Cat adventures have
gotten out of hand. A freshman
was left at Emory in her
nightgown. Last year an English
paper was torn up. Due to these
and other irresponsible acts, the
no road-tripping clause has been
aded and will be enforced to
keep Black Cat in the proper
perspective. But alas, all is hot
lost. I have good faith in the
sharp, creative minds on this
campus to come up with new
channels to make this a happy,
healthy and fun Black Cat

Letters From An
Agnes Scott Freshman

Angelist Mother & Daddy

This has certainly been a busy
week. I hope I'm not going to
have to work so hard all year. If I
do I simply won't have time for
anything else! Have four note
courses that I have to spend two
hours on for every recitation
three times a week so I ab-
solutely live in the library. But
I'm hoping it'll be easier before
long. Nothing has happened
since I wrote you'all. Until
yesterday. I called Blanche (an
older married cousin)) & asked
her to have lunch with us & goto
a show but they were going to
some kind of picnic so we had to
put it off. Am real glad I asked
her tho'. So we went in after
lunch & saw a grand picture &
vaudeville & then looked around
for red paint etc. & met Mary &
June & they drove us out to
school .... Last night we just
played around and did nothing.
This morning the same thing &
this aft. we went into town & met
Mary & June & rode with them

until 5:30. Writing letters now &
am going to study when I finish
this. Today has been ghastly
cold. ... Please send me my fur
coat immediately! ...I'm simply
aching for one of course.

I'm sorry but I'll need some
money please. $10 for my
budget and then some to run on
next month. Dues & things like
that. This is such a dumb letter
but I haven't a thing to tell.
Freshman week starts Tues &
we're hoping to have some fun
if we have any sparetime! ...

Enjoyed your letter so much
Mother. I, too, wish I could go to
Davidson. Everybody says that
Raymond is simply everything
up there so it would be fun to
be with somebody besides a nub
for once!

We're still getting along fine.
Silly as ever. ... Sorry I have to
have more money. Mother, can't
we possibly get the fur coat this
year?! Hugs & kisses & all my
love

Travelog
Features Tour
of Germany

A film tour of Germany will
open Decatur's fifth season of
live travelogs on Tuesday, Oct.
24, at Agnes Scott College.
Show time will be 7:30 p.m. in
Presser Hall.

Ed Lark, cinematographer and
narrator appearing in person,
will focus on several German life
styles that of a company
executive, a middle class factory
worker, a farmer in the Bavarian
Alps, artists striving for self
expression, and university
students coping with rapid
changes in society.

Lark's camera and commen-
tary will spotlight Munich's
Glockenspiel, Nymphenburg
Palace, the Olympic buildings,
0 b e r a m m e r g a u , Neus-
chwanstein Castle, the walled
city of Rothenburg, and the spas
of Baden Baden and Bad Hom-
burg.

Lark takes a peek behind the
Berlin wall to observe East
Berlin's May Day celebration.
He visits Bonn, political center of
the West German Republic; and
Frankfurt and Mannheim at the
hub of Germany's com-
munication and transportation
network.

Joining a group for
refreshments and conversation
at the end of a working day,
cameraman Lark captures the
warm comradship that Germans
call "Gemutlichkeit."

Agnes Scott student tickets
to "Germany" are $1.50 and
may be purchased at Presser
Hall just before the show.
Agnes Scott faculty and staff
members may buy tickets for
$2.50. (Regular adult ticket is
$3.50.)

tober-April season will visit the
Orient Nov. 21; Ireland Nov. 28;

Euphoric, I screamed, "now I can

By the next Monday, however,
we were already programmed
into dissatisfaction: for our en-
tire three-month stint we were
to hold the unglamorous and
somewhat embarrassing title of
Janitor. (You can say
"sanitation engineer,''
sympathetic ones reassured us.)
We complained about being
stuck holding a broom, being
guardians of battered mop
buckets.

Though not entirely without
previous experience, we did
have to master some newclean-
ing techniques. But mastery
took so little time we liberal
arts loyalists can adapt to any
job, you know that boredom
quickly set in. Each night
became a ritual of tasks to be
repeated without variation.

placed the monotony. The day
shift quickly caught on to our in-
dustriousness. And it was a fine
symbiotic relationship: we
craved extra work to fill the time
between breaks, and they left
plenty of cardboard and rope in
the aisles for us to collect.

The reversal of normality even
in retrospect seems incredible.
We did earnestly ponder new
places to find paper for
sweeping; and getting behind
schedule was occasion for a
joyous announcement to our
fellow workers. Of course we
evolved beyond the rookie men-
tality before long: we learned
that functioning at a normal
oace, finishing the necessary
duties in four hours, and reading
in the closet the remainder of the
shift was the most pleasant
mode of operation. And when
the reading, too, became
monotonous we quickly learned
to fashion pillows from paper
towel and toilet paper rolls,
wedging them between ear,
shoulder, and hot water heater,
and gave into dreams. Being
able to work at our own pace, in
our own way, really did make
janitoring "the best job in the
house."

New French
Hall Assistant

by Peggy Davis '

Many Scotties have taken ad-
vantage of the Foreign Language
Corridors located in Inman, Win-
ship, and Walters. Here,
intermediate-level foreign
language students are divulged
to the French, German, and
Spanish languages and
traditions. This exposure not
only helps the student master
the language but also gives her a
more in depth idea of the people
and cultures of the country. As
one of the French Hall residents
explained, "It makes the
language seem real."

The French Hall, located on
the North Side of first floor In-
man, has a new Hall Assistant,
Emmanuelle Desquins. Em-
manuelle, 21, studied English
and Business Administration in
Paris where she was born. Her
family is small, having only an
older brother and "the best
parents in the world." After
coming to the United States
three years ago, she was
immediately fascinated with the
"American way of living". Em-
manuelle has traveled in 18
states but particularly likes New
Mexico and Oklahoma.

Emmanuelle also likes the
South and is anxious to get to
know the Scott girls and campus
better. In the dining hall, a
French table has already been
established where anyone can
find Emmanuelle and other
interested students "parlering"
during lunch. Activities have
also been planned for the French
Club including a Christmas party
and visiting French restaurants.

When Emmanuelle returns to
France, she will continue her
studies before taking an exam
which is required of all French
college students. Until then, Em-
manuelle plans to learn much
about the American Culture as
well as share her knowledge of
France with Agnes Scott.

are rice, water spray bottles,
toast, hot dogs, toilet paper,
newspaper, bells, and
flashlights. These meaningless
items, used by the audience to
participate in the movie, become
symbols of the movie's main
events. Along with water squirt-

ing and rice throwing, many of
the faithfully attending
members of the audience have
created lines and responses to
the movie's dialogue that would
make the script writers envious.
The costumes are not ordinary
either, but each one is modeled
from the movie's assortment of
androgynous characters.

The movie, a musical spoof of
past horror shows, is a sem-
blance of every late night "B"
rated movie, with elements of
such classics as "Dr.
Frankenstein" and "King Kong."
And so, to fit this travesty, the
protagonist, Dr. Frank N. Furter
possesses characteristics rang-
ing from David Bowie to a vampy
Rockette from Radio City Music
Hall. Frank N. Furter's black
leather corsette and garters,
equipped with silk hose and
cape, lend uncertainty to his
sexual preferences. The rest of
the cast don equally bizarre cos-
tumes in an exhibition of total
kinkiness, with the exception of
Brad and Janet, the movie's only
"straight" couple. Typically,
Brad and Janet, caught in a
severe storm, are welcomed to
Frank N. Furter's castle by his
deep and sultry comment, "So
you got in the rain, what a
shame!" And, from there the fun
begins!?!

To summarize the movie
further would only spoil its
offbeat purpose, whatever that
may be! It is a flick not simply to
view, but to participate in and
experience at least once. Be sure
to bring a handful of rice for the
wedding, and wear your rain-
coat!!

Art and Classics Courses
To Be Taught in Rome

Studio Dance Theatre
Plunges into Activity

The third Agnes Scott program
of study in Rome will be offered
in the summer of 1979. All
students who may be interested
in participating are urged to con-
tact Mrs. Pepe as soon as pos-
sible. Her office is room 107
Dana.

The program consists of six
weeks study in Rome beginning
in mid June and ending about
August 1 . Two five hour courses
are offered: CLASSICS 340:
ROMAN ART AND ARCHITEC-
TURE, and ART 309: ART OF THE
ITALIAN RENAISSANCE. A
student is required to take at
least 5 hours of work. She may
elect to take the second course
on a Pass-Fail basis adheringito
the Pass-Fail regulations stated
on page 41 of the 1 978 catalog.
There are no prerequisites for
either course, and sophomores
may take the courses with the
permission of the instructors.

The Classics course is taught
by Miss Zenn almost entirely in
the field. Each day the group

goes to a particular site or
museum which is discussed in
detail. At times Miss Zenn does
give a short preliminary lecture
at the residence before em-
barking on a trip. While much of
the work for this course is done
in Rome itself, there are day bus
trips to the Etruscan sites of Tar-
quinia and Cerveteri, to
Hadrian's Villa, Ostia, and
Norma. There is also a three day
trip to Naples to visit Pompeii,
Herculaneum, and Paestum. In
The past groups have stayed in a
hotel in Sorrento rather than
Naples so there is the fun of
shopping and seeing the sights
in this charming Mediterranean
resort.

The Italian Renaissance
course is taught by Mrs. Pepe
with slide lectures and trips to
museums. Since a large part of
Early Renaissance art is in
Florence, the last four days of
the program are spent there. In
both courses there is a mid-term
test and a final examination.

Sex or Celibacy?

Continued from page 2

purely scientific and "rational"
composition. Somehow it
seems unnatural or even a bi:
irrational to build a model of
sexuality without incorporating
the humanness of the in-
dividuals) involved. If as Dr.
Rosen says, "sexuality may be
more what we are than what we
do" shouldn't a model of
sexuality portray the
participants as they are
human beings, subject to
weakness, irrationality and the
evil knowledge bequeathedto us

from Adam and Eve? By striving
for the ultimate in a rationality
Rosen has opted for the most
supraidealistic and irrational
alternative.

Maybe Rosen is correct;
perhaps we should all try toget a
hold on our heads by becoming
celibates? And after all, what
better way to curbthe population
explosion? In such a case, I for
one would hope that one
fortunate ancestor created in a
test tube could plant himself
firmly in the ground and sprout
thousands of clones.

There are also texts for both
courses which are purchased by
the students in the ASC
bookstore before they leave.

This summer the group will
stay on the Aventine Hill in a
convent used by Trinity College
in Connecticut for their year
program . OurThree meals will be
served there, and the lectures
will be given there. There is a
small library as well as common
rooms and gardens. The rooms
are double, but each has a
private bath, an almost unheard
of convenience in Italy outside
the good hotels. The location is
an ideal one for it is a beautiful,
quiet residential area that is
close to the heart of Rome.

While the cost of the program
has not yet been determined
because of the uncertainty of the
Italian lire, the U.S. dollar and
the airline fares, it is estimated
at $2650.00. This price includes
round trip air fa re from New York
or Washington and Rome,
transportation on the class trips,
room, and three meals a day.

The Studio Theatre at Agnes
Scott College will begin the new
1978-79 college year with
fourteen apprentices. These
new members were chosen
from a group of thirty three who
auditioned on September 28.
They are Sarah Burleigh, Laura
Deadwyler, Nina Ferguson, Luz
Fortes, Charlotte Haug, Emily
Hill, Allison James, Martha
Jenison, Wendy Merkert, Cindy
Monroe, Kenslea Motter, Gail

art center that sponsors an an-
nual Christmas invitational fes-
tival of events, ranging from
literary workshops to fine arts
performances.

ASC's dance company is one
out of four Georgia colleges in-
vited to perform at the annual
conference of the Georgia As-
sociation of Health, Physical
Education, and Recreation. The
performance will be March 30 at
Pine Isle at Lake Lanier.

February 8 will be SDT's an-
nual Kid's Show, to be held in
Gaines Auditorium. Children
from the Atlanta area schools
are welcome to come witness
this entertaining rendition of
dances, ranging from "A Chorus
Line" to "The Farm Animal
Revue.''

Studio Dance Theatre's Spr-
ing Concert on April 26-27 will
feature student choreography as
well as choreography by SDT's
director, Mrs. Marylin Darling.
SDT has received national
recognition in Dance Magazine
1978 and local recognition by
the Alvin Ailey Dance Company.
Come out and support Studio
Dance Theatre this year.
Concerts are free of charge, so
everyone can afford to attend.

Emory Seeking Volunteers

Emory Medical School
researchers from the Division of
Endocrinology are urgently
seeking 200 women volunteers -
especially college women - to
help doctors learn how to protect
women against breast cancer.

"Research shows women
who have their first baby before
age 22 are less likely to develop
breast cancer. "We need to
know why so we learn to protect
all women from the disease,"
said Dr. Victoria Musey, chief
clinical investigator of the First
Pregnancy/Breast Cancer
Protection Study.

"Breast cancer is now the
leading cause of cancer
mortalitv in women. The in-
cidents have been increasing
dramatically throughout the
nation and especially in the five-
county metro Atlanta area," Dr.
Musey reports.

"Since 1 937, the incidence of
breast cancer locally increased
by 47%; and in 1976 was the
highest among whites in the

naiton, second highest among
blacks.

"By counties, the incidence
rates per 100,000 population in
1976 were: Clayton, 81, Cobb,
69.3, DeKalb, 87.3; Fulton, 77 1
and Gwinnett 60.1 ."

Dr. Musey and a team of
Emory doctors and scientists are
conducting a three year study
funded by the National Cancer
Institute to learn why women
who have their first babies
before they are 22 are less likely
to develop breast cancer.

This is the only such subject in
the nation and is of major im-
portance locally since the
reasons for rapidly increasing
rates of breast cancer are not
known

Researchers from Emory's
Department of Medicine and
Biometry began the project last
May with some 30 volunteers.
However, 200 more women who
are planning to have their first
babies within the next 1 8 to 24
months are needed now.

Volunteers must be healthy,

between the ages of 1 8 to 22 or
30 and 40; must never have
taken the pill; never been
pregnant; have a regular
menstrual history and must be
planning to have a first baby
soon.

Women interested in joining
the fight against breast cancer
are asked to phone 588-3325 for
full information about the tests
they will take and how they will

oenefit.

Volunteers selected will
receive cash benefits and a free
thorough physical examination.

Dr. John R. K. Preedy, Profes-
sor of Medicine (endocrinology)
and Chief of the Division of En-
docrinology, is the principal
investigator of the First
Pregnancy/Breast Cancer
Protection Study.

Others working on the project
with Dr. Preedy and Dr. Musey
are: Dr. Delwood C. Collins,
Professor of Medicine (en-
docrinology); Dr. Paul Musey,
Assistant Professor of Medicine
(endocrinology); .

"And what do you want to be
when you grow up, little girl?"
That question is easy enough to
answer when you are six years
old, but how certain are you of
the answer now? There is

someone on campus who can
help you - Mrs. Kathleen
Mooney. She's head of Career
Planning and has lots of ideas on

how you can sort yourself out.
She just came to us after four
and a half years at Bryn Mawr
College and is very enthusiastic
about her job. This is evidenced
by the constant flow of Career
Planning flyers we've been get-
ting in our boxes. She feels that

one of her main objectives is to
encourage the earliest possible
awareness of jobs and
careers Yes freshmen, this in-
cludes you too. Career Planning
is not just for seniors.

One program that has had
excellent response is their
Shadow Program In this
program, students are placed
with alumnae or area contacts in
the field of their choice and
spend a couple of hours observ-
ing what the job is really like. All
you aspiring young Perry
Masons may not enjoy all the
research in files and books that
the job entails.

Both Mrs. Mooney and lone
Murphey, (who is the
coordinator for Alumnae
services and works in Career
Planning), feel that the best th-
ing we can do about our careers
while we are still in college is to
Relax. Yes, some folks in the ad-
ministration actually do include
that word in their vocabulary.
They want us to enjoy our majors
while we are developing and
maturing, so we can find out
about ourselves and know what
we can do. Mrs. Mooney plans to
"Shout Louder and Longer about
what the Career Planning Office
can do for you." It will behove
you to listen.

Minority Students
Eligible for Aid

WASHINGTON, D. C. The
National Research Council will
advise the National Science
Foundation in the selection of
candidates for the Foundation's
program of Minority Graduate
Fellowships. Panels of eminent
scientists and engineers ap-
pointed by the National
Research Council will evaluate
qualifications of applicants.
Final selection of Fellows will be
made by the Foundation, with
awards to be announced in
March 1979

The NSF Minority Graduate
Fellowship Program is open only
to persons who are citizens or
nationals of the United States as
of the time of application, and
who are members of an ethnic
minority group
underrepresented in the ad-
vanced levels of the Nation's
science talent pool i e ,
American Indian, Alaskan

Native (Eskimo or Aleut), Black,
Mexican American/Chicano, or
Puerto Rican.

Eligibility is limited to those in-
dividuals who, as of the time of
application, have not completed
postbacca laureate study in
excess of 30 semester hours or
45 quarter hours, or equivalent,
in any field of science,
engineering, social science, or
mathematics. Subject to the
availability of funds, new
fellowships awarded in the spr-
ing of 1 979 will be for periods of
three years, the second and third
years contingent on certification
to the Foundation by the
fellowship institution of the
student's satisfactory progress
toward an advanced degree in
science.

These fellowships will be
awarded for study or work lead-
ing to master's or doctoral

degrees in the mathematical,
physical, medical, biological,
engineering, and social
sciences, and in the history and
philosophy of science.

urinals, overflowing trash cans,
and blackened sinks greeted us
each night. Resentment of
management, but especially
extreme alienation from their
work explains this disrespect for
property on the part of the
regulars.

Of further disconcertment to
us was the sterile enclosed
facility itself. Aside from its
overwhelming size, the
warehouse's absence of win-
dows aided the sense that all of
us employed there were
mechanisms, non-human. Todo
night shift required some
physiological adjustment, and
arriving under a blazing sun,
then going home in darkness
accentuated our feeling of lost
time. Obviously, GM had eaten
it up.

existence SBA has tried to con-
tribute to the Agnes Scott Com-
munity. We sincerely believe to
have achieved that goal through
our various student sponsored
programs during Black History
Week, and throughout the year.
We have brought to Agnes Scott
such personalities as Ms.
Monica Kaufman, newswoman;
Mrs. J. Stewart of Spelman
College, educator; and Dr
Joseph Lowery, President of
NAACP. We brought to Agnes
Scott a bit of the Black man's
culture through our Gospel
presentations, poetry, and
music.

This year we hope to do much
more. We wish to continue with

the presentation of the Black
man through the arts with an
exhibition of various Black
artists in the Atlanta area. We
a Iso hope to present to you some
of the successful members of
the Black Community in
government, politics, religion,
and business.

The Students for Black
Awareness is at work for you. It
is not just an organization; it is
people with a job to do. We need
your membership and your sup-

ANewGameforScotties: P.U.B.

by Betsy Broadwell, Nancy
Rogers, Shannon Ruddell

The game ot P U B is an in-
tricate game of strategy only to
be attempted by the strong of
heart (and sure of foot?) The
rules of the game are foreign to
most at the beginning, but are
easily picked up after a couple of
dry runs

There are a few requirements
basic to becoming a member of
the Agnes Scott PUB team A
player must have a certain
fondness for (or desire to acquire
a fondness for) beach music, and
be familiar enough with a
smattering of songs to sing
along Shagging is a must as is

the art of drinking beer and
special attention is called to the
attire of a typical P U B. player.

There is a wide variety of dress
to select from. ANY color of but-
ton down (shirt, for the unhip)
will do! However, the major
decision lies in deciding on
whether to wear straight leg
jeans or khakis. Skirts are accep-
table, weather permitting and
for the finished look knee socks
are imperative. Loafers and top-
siders go with anything and
everything. And, no Scotty
PUB player would be caught
dead without her gold beads and

speed and timing are of the
greatest importance in winning
the game At times the going
may get tough (But, always
remember that "when the going
gets tough, the tough get
going ")

Wednesday: P.J s - There is a
diversified crowd (but
predominantly Emory), everyth-
ing from hells angels to Joe Prep
and much more in between,
serving your favorite drinks and
playing that ever popular beach
music. Of course, there is stan-
ding room MAYBE, and dancing
space if you enjoy crushed toes
and being banged into various
body parts. The task of crossing
the room for the sake of a drink of
a trip to the sandbox may take
anywhere from ten minutes to
two hours depending upon how
many people you meet while
squeezing through the crowd. If
you are skillful enough to attract
a bartender's attention and get a
beer, returning to your original
position with full drink in hand is
usually impossible A delicious
smoke-filled atmosphere
pervades and if you really want
to get close to people. P.J.'s is
the place to do it

Thursday: Mo's - Actually
wide enough for three average
sized people, this place

somehow expands on Thursday
night to a capacity of thousands
as Agnes Scott and Tech
fraternities throng to this tiny
corner tavern. If smoke got in
your eyes Wednesday night at
P.J.'s, it will creep into your
pores at Mo's. Your clothes will
be pressed free of charge by
bodies on all sides and the beer
will flow, mostly all over the
floor. (Why this site for such a
gathering was chosen is a
matter for further research!)

Friday The Mug - Here is is
much of the same as P.J.'s with
the exception of more Tech than
Emory and the addition of pool
tables, pinball machines and a
lovely patio overlooking
Peachtree Street. You have the
option of mingling, or shall we
say mashing, either inside or
outside, and the fresh air is a
pleasantly refreshing aspect

OPINION

Dear Editor,

It seems to be "open season"
for college presidents around
here. I am referring, of course, to
The Profies's insipid query,
"WOULD YOU ENTRUST THIS
MAN WITH THE CARE OF YOUR
DAUGHTER?"

It is my opinion that The
Profile has overstepped the fine
line separating satiric humor
and tastelessness. Openly
voiced criticism of the ad-
ministration is one of the most
respected ways to promote
change; however, I don't think
your demeaning portrayal of
President Perry quite fits into
that category.

Any attack on the president of
an institution such as ours is
also an attack on the institution
and ultimately, on the students
themselves. This phenomenon
was recently exhibited during
the course of our Honors Day
Convocation adress on October
fourth. I am now speaking of the
likening of a college president to
a lion tamer and the banal com-
parison of college students to
half-crazed animals. Please bear
in mind that the speaker was
rewarded by many students with
cheers and applause for both
parts of that analogy.

I do not appreciate being
referred to as a beast any more
than I appreciate The Profile's
implication that I, as an Agnes
Scott student, am foolish
enough to follow a false leader.
Hopefully I am not the only
student who feels this way.

Sincerely,
Lisa Merrifield

Dear Editor,

As of last spring several Agnes
Scott students have verbally
recognized a lack of interest in
intellectual growth beyond our
classrooms. That lack of
"intellectual curiosity" has
shown itself most vividly in
recent journalistic attempts, if
they may even be called that,
made by the Profile. Not only
have the editorials disguisedly
represented a one-sided view of
the school's seemingly most
controversial subject, but also
these articles have reflected the
staff's obvious need for
imaginative and innovative

ideas. I can tolerate and possibly
even learn from one or two of
these articles, but the
appearance of "the same old
thing" in every publication
wastes my time and, what's
worse, bores me.

The greatest pity in all of this is
that these articles probably do
represent the favorite pasttimes
of the majority of the student
body. This student body a
group which so often prides
itself in its power and wisdom-
is but a transient group. Its main
power lies in its recruit of
prospective students. That,
however, is an awesome power
in itself. Do we invite and
welcome the less earnest
student to attend our institution,
or, in our own confusion of
ideals and priorities, do we
simply mislead high school
juniors and seniors? The most
important question is: Are we
really the liberated women who
seek intellectual and spiritual
development, or are we factory-
turned-out dolls who seek the
preppie look, the preppie way of
life, the preppie marriage, and
finally the preppie pregnancy? I
doubt very seriously that inten-
sive study of beach music, Izod
shirts, and topsiders will help
the student to discover for
herself "a set of values which
will give vitality, meaning, and
direction to her life." No, I am not
encouraging you to burn your
buttondowns and vote for the
E R A. I am simply asking that
you re-evaluate your priorities
and, if you have never evaluated
them in the first place, that you
do so.

Nancy A. Nelson

Dear Editor,

Please don't print any more
stories like the "A NewGame for
Scotties. P.U.B." in your Oc-
tober 9 issue. This sort of tripe
grows very tiresome very fast,
and indeed the article does not
tell us of a "new game" but
merely of the bewhiskered and
boring preppie bar scene. From
articles like this any outside
reader of Agnes Scott
publications would be led to
believe that this inane game was
the only topic of conversation on
an extremely vapid campus. This
is the worst image the school

can get, and yet you encourage it
by your constant printing of such
articles.

Articles like the above men-
tioned one are useless for at
least two reasons, one being
that anyone playing this not-so-
new game already knows full
well where to go and what to
wear without relying on weekly
guides in the paper. The second
reason is that those not wishing
to play this game (yes, there are
some!) are doing all they can to
avoid Moe's and Joe's, beach
music, and the "button-down"
look. They certainly haveTio use
for such articles.

I find it pitiful that our paper
has toturn glorifications of dives
like Moe's and Joe's and P.J.'s
for filler material, not for just one
isolated issue but for a whole
dreadful series of issues. If the
paper is so desperate for
material that it needs pap of this
sort to fill space, then I would
much prefer a paper shorter and
sweeter in content.

I may come across as an ivory
tower type of intellectual (any-
thing is possible, the way you
portray the "average" Agnes
Scott student), but is it really
asking too much for a breath of
seriousness in something as im-
portant as the school paper?
Must you always portray the
students as lacking in depth?
Does the "April Fool" mentality
always have to prevail?

I suppose you'll say, and I can
hear it, "Why don't you write
some lofty articles of scholarly
interest for us, then?" That's not
exactly what I'm asking for. It
just seems that the paper, hav-
ing such a fine staff, should aim
for subjects more enlightening
and thoughtful than this
overdone "let's get drunk, y'all!"
one. The paper has great poten-
tial, and it can be an admirable
showcase of the campus'
journalistic talents as soon as
the staff stops wasting its energy
on such rubbish.

paper. I want to commend you on
what a fantastic job is being
done! The campus community
fails to realize what a tedious job
it is to produce the paper and
carefully stuff it neatly into our
mailboxes. These girls deserve a
round of applause for getting in-
volved in campus activities while
they broaden their horizons by
infiltrating their minds with the
intellectual experiences they are
receiving from Agnes Scott!

A paper like the Profile needs
to be kept on a light, airy note.
The reason: Simple! The humor
around Agnes Scott needs to be
bolstered and kept around for
several years to come! Let's keep
humor alive and what a better
way than continuing to read and
support the Profile?

How often do I hear the cry
about not having dates? I know!
My battle cry is similar! But why
not learn the answers in the
Profile . What a better way to find
out about the places to be seen
in. Certainly one doesn't expect
the administration and profes-
sors to point out these places of
interest?! Personally, my dating
life needs a boost and answers I
hope to find from the pubbing
articles. After all, one cannot go
out with a book that spits
intellectually at the mouth, now
can they 7

Please don't get me wrong. I
love Agnes Scott and I ap-
preciate and cherish my
education I am getting at Scott
However, my life cannot revolve
solely around mental
stimulation. I must keep my
sense of humor and girls I
thoroughly intend to!

Thank you Profile staff and
most of all, the Editor, who
weekly goes through hell! You
have helped me keep my sense
of humor & remain sane!

With humor still intact

Dear Editor and the Profile Staff,
Taking time out from my
intellectual growth process at
Agnes Scott, I just thought I
would drop y'all a quick note to
express my feelings on the

Dear Editor:

I would like to reply to the
letter of Lisa Cameron that was
in the Oct. 9 issue of Profile.

First, I would like to thank her
for her concern which gave her
the courage to put it in print. I
would like for her to come by and
chat with me about this
sometime for she is the type I
wish to encourage. Also, I can

show her some facts that would
be of interest.

However in fairness to the
policies of the Book Store and
myself I must explain that what
seems to be such a simple
solution just doesn't turn out to
be! First, on the policy of adding
more books "than are expected
to be needed". The catch is HOW
MANY- one would have been too
many in the majority of cases
and fifty not enough for the
Calculus mentioned- yet I still
have thirty-one of the Finite
math book where the Professor
and Ithoughtthey would go! And
we have no policy at Scott that
says a professor will use a book
again- next quarter or next year.
I have the records that we get
from the Registrar that are used
as the base for our orders which
date back several years and we
try to do just what has been
suggested. The problem is that
there is no pattern- one year the
boom may come in Biology,
a nother year Math or
Economics- or something else.
We use pre-registration figures
for the upper Class-persons and
get the Freshmen count (or
guess) on July 1 5th.

Secondly, we are limited to the
number (or dollar value) of books
that can be returned and even
then not all publishers will allow
returns. We only get a 20% dis-
count (or 20 cents out of every
dollar) on textbooks. With pos-
tage for books now at forty-eight
cents per pound it only takes a
few returns to eliminate all
profits.

I know that it is hard to
understand calculus with a text-
without one it must be terrible! It
isn't exactly easy to spend hour
after hour on the phone or at the
typewriter trying to find those
additional texts.

It has been by deepest hope-
my highest goal to be able to
solve this problem for Scott and
leave them with something to
share with other colleges for this
is a problem that I have found no
other manager or textbook buyer
has solved. It is with regret that I
shall know when I leave on July
1 for Retirement that I am leav-
ing this unsolved problem for the
New Manager.
Sincerely,
Verita Barnett,
Manager ASC Book Store

P.U.B. / Part2: How to Play

"Would that God the gift to gie us, to see
ourselves as others see us."

Robert Burns

"The PROFILE is published weekly throughout the College year by
the Students of Agnes Scott College." This quote is taken from the
Student Handbook. One must note that the origin of the paper is
defined explicity in the phrase "by the students of Agnes Scott
College". The paper does not fall on us like manna from the sky.
There are a few dedicated students on this campus who do not have
the time to produce a weekly paper, they make the time. They attend
meetings, they write, they draw, they layout copy, they stuff
mailboxes then they patiently await the verdict that their efforts
were not enough.

The verdict has been handed down. Now, it is my place to defent
the staff.

You will notice that the first page of this issue is void of news. It is
so because six people turned in copy this week. Twenty two people
who signed up to contribute to the paper were "in absentia" for the
meeting Monday.

So tell me how can we be discriminating? The American Heritage
Dictionary defines the word discriminatory as "fastictiously selec-
tive" It is a rather self evident statement that in order to be selective
one must have an array of options to chose from. With the Profile,
there have not been any options, we have had to print the material
that is available to us

It is not our duty to write the entire paper. We are supposed to as-
similate the material that is given to us.

I do realize that there is very little compensation for the effort
exerted in the process of contributing to the paper There is not a
grade that is given, nor a salary that is paid. The compensation is the
knowledge that YOU have contributed freely.

As for criticism, we welcome it. But what is the purpose of the
criticism if it is not backed by a subsequent action? What is the
purpose of informing a person that she is in need if you have no
intentions of aiding in the alleviation of the problem. Free advice is
abandant on this campus; free contributions are few and far in
between

In reply to the accusation that our views are one sided and
unrepresentative of the student body, I will agree with this

But, the floor is open, where are the representatives of these so
called factions 7

In reply to attack on our mode of dress, I must stress the point that
the whole of the staff do not wear topsiders But what if they did? The
insinuation that our mode of dress is any indication of our mentality
is a blow below the Pappagallo belt' Even if we wore stilleto heels
and satin pants this would not mean that we could not comprehend
the National Review

As for the purpose of the paper, I must add that we are not the
literary magazine on campus If this is what the student body
hungers for, may I suggest Saturday Review or the New Yorker 7

At any rate. I am very pleased that the termites have come out of
the walls before the whole damn building fell down

How to play: Casually bump,
trip or fall into a male of
reasonable attractiveness, if you
are sober enough to tell but
inebriated enough to do it. You
are now ready to begin playing.
One must keep in mind,
however, the sequence of
conversation and questioning.
(TIP: Practice in front of mirror
with three by fives until
successfully mastered.)

The best opening line (the only
one in this game) is:

1) "Where do you go to
school?" If the school meets
your standards move one space
forward, if not bump into
someone else or act distracted.
(Acceptable schools in the
Atlanta area are Emory, Georgia
Tech, and Georgia State in some
cases. Outside of the city accep-
table schools will be judged by
reputation and your own stan-

dards of acceptability.)

2) Second space - "Are you in
a fraternity?" If the male in ques-
tion is not in a fraternity, trip
away and return to "GO". If the
answer is "Yes" keep going, (so
far, so good).

3) Now, ask which fraternity.
This is another question that re-
quires taste and the acceptance
will depend on the school
attended, the established
reputation of the fraternity, and
the associations you are able to
make with the fraternity in ques-
tion in other words, who you
know there or who you know
that dates over there. All of these
decisions are left to the player
and we trust discretion will be
used. If the fraternity does not
measure up, move back three
spaces.

4) Space four - "Where are
you from?" If knowledge of the
vicinity is "nil", move back two
spaces and rely on the old

standbys, i.e., What is your ma-
jor, your plans, etc. Elaboration
is left upthe individual. If you are
familiar with the town, you've hit
a gold mine! (ten bonus points).
Find out if "y 'all" for "you guys")
know the same people, then you
can start to gossip. Come across
as very popular. Through ques-
tioning you can become familiar
with this person and his status
and can exhibit your charm and
talent in communications. From
your discussion, you must
ascertain the potential of the in-
dividual and whether or not to
move back four spaces and give
up your ten bonus points or aim
for the ultimate goal, to be asked
for your phone number, which
should result in winning the
game of P U B , for now you have
Picked Up a Boy!

You may be asking, "Why
should I subject myself to such
torture?" We answer, "You can't
live with them and you can't live
without them." You decide
which is worse!

"Guinea Pig" Interns at CDC

On September 1 1 Agnes Scott
College donated their first
guinea pig to the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta. This
unique animal has been trained
to perform forty hours per week
in controlled lab conditions
under professional supervision.

Debbie Boetter '80 ASC's
"guinea pig" for a potential co-
op program with the CDC, says
that her work is "definitely
different." Debbie is currently
working as an analyst in the
Center's bio-chem lab, testing
blood serum for iron and bon-
ding levels.

Debbie, a chemistry major,
landed her job through the
regular co-op channels. "First I

filled out a regular civil service
application. Then I turned in a
transcript and went for an
interview," Debbie said. The
CDC has a regular co-op
program with schools
throughout the area. Agnes
Scott now has no such program,
but Debbie is hopeful that one
may be implemented in the
future.

The program consists of 20
weeks of work. Debbie will work
until the beginning of winter
quarter, then attend classes
here. She went to summer
school this year in order to com-
plete the academic credits for
her junior year. She will com-
plete her internship next

summer. Debbie said the
program "hasn't been a strain,
but it's hard to get used to a
working schedule." Debbie says
it's easy to get up in the morning
and say you won't go to class,
but it's different with this.

As well as being a learning
experience, the co-op program
offers excellent career pos-
sibilities. Those in the co-op
have a good chance of finding
work at the center after college.
Debbie says she "might work
there, if I don't go to grad
school."

Even though she enjoys her
position as an analyst, Debbie
says, "I miss school, I come back
and feel like a stranger on cam-
pus."

Please Lord, take care of my child;
my child with the heavy eye brows,
and the look of despair.
"Follow the way of God, children,
for it is a difficult road to freedom."

"Climb the highest mountain,
look across the longest waterway, -
to find it's only a mole hill,
and a pond you can never cross."

My child is living a life bound in chains;
chains wrapped around the body

chains never ceasing . . . always tightening with every movement.
Please Lord, take my child into your bosom,

and smother him, so he won't see the pain and anguish of his mother.
Blind his eyes, Oh Lord.

Let him see nothing but Darkness until the sun rays reflect

Athletics.. .Who Me?

Letters From An
Agnes Scott Freshman

By Sharon Maitland

"Athletics?! Who has time to
be physical around here?" That
is a rather common question on
campus, and there is an answer!
Everyone has the time. How to
find time in your schedule may
be tricky, but with a few helpful
suggestions, you should be on
your way to physical fitness.

As everyone knows, a nice
long 'sit' in the Hub isthe perfect
answer to after-class fatigue.
Wrong! That visit usually results
in over-consumption of calories
and rarely enough vitamins.
Why not substitute that Hub visit
for an invigorating physical ac-
tivity?

On, so you have to hit the
books? Nope. Good intentions
for the afternoon hours are
usually turned into short naps
before that dinner bell. Everyone
knows that a nap does not burn
up enough calories to make up
for that Hub visit you sneaked in
before your 2:10 class!
Substitute something a little
more active for that nap.

Oh f so you're in class until
5:00 p.m.? Well, I bet you don't
even start class until 12:10
anyway. You can cut breakfast a
little short (to just one hour) and
squeeze in some exercise
Morning exercise can really im-
prove your daily productivity!

Studying is really a poor
excuse for weight-watchers to
avoid exercise. It is a lot better to

marauded, and totally mortified
by this magical, miraculous and
completely monsterous time of
the year strangely called "Black
Cat" by all those experienced
people who talk about secret
goings-on, road-tripping, short-
sheeting, and unasked-for bap-
tisms with water poured from
the balcony of Inman at 2:00
a.m. on Sunday morning when
you are in complete oblivion
(maybe in more than one way)
with your home town honey or
your newest beau from Tech?

Ever been at an important
class meeting trying to elect your
Black Cat chairman, just to come
out and find shoes (yours and
1 50 other persons) littered from
Presser all the way to the Quad?
Or have you eve r come in at 1 05
a.m. Saturday morning trying to
grab a few necessities for an
overnight trip and finally found
your unmentionables in the third
drawer from the top in the left
dresser in the room two doors
down on the right?

higher learning with hopes of

eat a well-balanced meal (more
than shriveled lettuce) and get
exercise. The combination is
better for your health and you'll
be surprised at how alert your
mind becomes after a brief ac-
tivity.

Now that you'r convinced that
exercise is a MUST here are a
few great ways to start:

1 ) Hockey practice afternoons,
4:30-6:00 p.m. Lab kids have no
excuse.

2) Tennis team workout in the
pool, or bicycling and running.
Hitting on the courts on
Wednesdays.

3) Inter-dorm Tennis
Tournament sponsored by A. A.
Sign Up!

4) Free swimming in the pool
every day. Go and keep a
lifeguard company.

5) Six times around the hockey
field (always open) or one time
around the campus will provide
a good one mile run.

6) Five tennis courts with a
large backboard (in case your
friends prefer Hub-sitting).

7) Floor in your room, good for
sit-ups, push-ups, and all types
of exercise routines you can
make up yourself?

All in all, Anges Scott
promotes physical as well as
mental activity. It's up to you to

living in a civilized, cultured, and
cordial environment just to find
chaos, crudeness, and "custom"
running rampant?

How about going to your class
meeting (a little late because
Professor Nickumpoop didn't
dismiss class on time) just to
meet a guard equivalent to that
at Fort Knox and having to give
the names, hair color, and waist
size of your friends, in addition to
your own name, rank, and serial
number just to enter and get
seated when all of a sudden 1 00
screaming, chanting, and clap-
ping sophomores raid the place
as everyone rushes to hide lists
of names and suggestions for
the mascot? (Don't get excited,
they've been destroyed!)

If you haven't experienced the
above, you aren't or never have
been a freshman at Agnes Scott
College. This is what you've
been putting 151 students
through! We hear this is what
happens every year and that we
will survive. Fight now, noone is
for sure.

One message for the
Sophomores: NO YOU WON'T!

(September 28, 1927)
Wed. Morn
Angelest Sweetest Big in the
world -

You spoil me to death! Really
you must stop sending me
specials (Special Delivery
letters) or I'll never amount to a
thing! There's no use trying to
tell you how I adore getting them
because you know - but its awful
for you to spend 1 2C a week just
on a letter to me - You'll never
get abroad (or a fur coat eigher) if
you continue to be so
extravagant! I love them & you to
death & and sent the last one on
to Mother like you said.

Rat week started last night so
you know what a storm everyth-
ing is in. It's fun tho' & not bad at
all. We just have to wear black
rib stockings & a placard - back &
front - with our name & the
cutestgreen caps with F on them
you ever saw (a la baseball).
Have played train, recited,
curtesied, run to the tea house
etc. already I'm a nub. It lasts til
Friday night. But it's really not
bad at all. I'm glad to begin get-
ting it over!

I don't know whether its just
my carelessness, or in-
comprehension or what-but the
classes aren't nearly as hard as I
expected. We probably haven't
gotten down to work yet. Of
course I have to study & study
hard but I don't grind. Maybe I'm
not studying hard enough - but I
don't know how yet. I'll probably
find that out. My schedule is
grand. Eight o'clocks every
morn, except Mon. (no classes
Mon. except Latin at 1 10-2:10).
No 9:00 except Gym on Thurs
and no classes after 3:10 on
Tues. Wed. Thurs. & none after
lunch on Fri. I really think that's
fine. My teachers are good too.
Miss Phythian for French, Fried
for Latin prose & translation (I
adore her. She inspires me so, I
won't be a bit surprised to find
myself taking Greek). Miss
Cheatham for English (she
graduated here two years ago &

is beautiful & smart but inclined
to be sarcastic & I know she's
gonna be hard). Miss Westall for
biology (botany) - (She's lovely -
started here last year but had to
stop on account of her health.)
Miss Gaylord for Math. . . .

We went totown last Sat. with
a bunch of Sophs. & Fresh. Kitty
wanted to get some drapery
material first so we left right
after lunch. I wore my jersey
again. We went to several
Kresses and to Nunnaly's & had
more or less divided into groups
by the time we got ready to go
into the show. Gay, Kitty & I &
Belle Ward Stowe a darling Soph
from Carlotte & Dit Quarles a
Fesh from Charlotte went to the
Capitol. It's a new theatre in
Davidson Paxton's building
Perfectly exquisite. Vincent
Lopez's orchestra was there & I
never enjoyed anything as
much. They played that Liebes-
traum thing by Liszt that Bubber
played so much & I thought I'd
die. It was so cold walking up the
street to catch the car afterward
& passing all the lighted shops
with people rushing in & out
reminded me of Xmas & Xmas
shopping - not that I ever do any
under those circumstances! We
had to tear after the car & make
him stop for us & then stand up
all the way home but it was fun.
Got back too late to get in the
dining room so went to the tea
house. In spite of the weather
Gay bought me a frozen fruit
salad & I got a pimento cheese
sandwich & we enjoyed it lots.
At nine o'clock the grandmother
party was held in the gym. The
g. mothers have to dress as old
ladies & the frosh as children . . .
. Helen Anderson lent me white
knickers & a shirt & I wore a
white slipover sweater of Kitty's
& was a real cute little boy! It
was right much fun but childish.
Had ice cream and danced. Got
home about 10:15 & <certainly
did sleep good last night! . .

Gay & I went to church Sun.
with Jack Anderson (ACS
Sophomore) & Miss Gaylord St.

of the choir go & it really wasn't
good at all. But the Dean

The Mystery of Black Cat

Autumn in the Graveyard
by Kenslea Motter

Its autumn in the graveyard and death is failing upon death.
The trees, in mourning now, are crying tears of yellow, orange,
and red. When all the tears have been shed, the graveyard will
again be bare, like the hearts of so many other mourners who
shed their tears upon this graveyard. And again, what was once
life is left to decompose.

American Art Collection on Display

One of the foremost collec-
tions of American art in the
Southeast, the Robert P.
Coggins Collection, goes on dis-
play at Agnes Scott College Sun-
day, October 22, and will be
exhibited through December 7.
This showing will feature mostly
new acquisitions never before
displayed by the collection's
owner, Dr. Coggins, a physician
in Marietta, Georgia.

The public is invited, free of

charge, to the opening reception
Sunday from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. in
the Dalton Galleries of the Dana
Fine Arts Building. Gallery hours
are Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. -
9.00 p.m.; Saturday, 9:00 a.m. -
5:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 2:00 -
5:00 p.m.

The significance of the
Coggins collection is explained
by Dr. Robert Westervelt, Agnes
Scott art professor and scholar
of early American art. "Dr.

Coggins' collection en-
compasses works by well-
known American artitsts such as
William Chase and at the same
time recognizes the real worth of
obscure American artists such
as Willie M. Chambers, the
seamstress in Montezuma,
Georgia. I would say the Coggins
Collection is one of the foremost
American art collections in the
Southeast."

Fernbank Internships Considered

By Ellen Highland

An internship program
between Agnes Scott College
and the Fernbank Science
Center is being considered by
the Biology Department and the
College Administration.

have been involved with plant
propagation. Presently,
however, one intern is doing
work in horticulture therapy.

Fernbank Science Center is
part of the DeKalb County
School System. For twelve
years, it has served the needs of
teachers, students and the
general public by offering
courses and tours.

Tuesday October 3, four
representatives from the Center
introduced the biology faculty
and interested biology majors to
the opportunities which would
be available through an
internship program. Mr. Angus
Heeps from the Department of
Horticulture through an
internship program with his
department could be tailored
toward the specific interests of

Dr. Jim Skeen is an ecologist.
He, too, felt capable of ac-
commodating the student's
main interest. Ecology, he
believes, can be studied from
either a practical or a theoretical
aspect. Examples of possible
studies included stream com-
parison and the effects of
pollutants, aquatic etimology,
forest meteorology, and animal
population studies

Dr. Paticianne Hurd, an elec-
tron microscopist, stated that
the Fernbank Science Center
possessed both a transmission
electron microscope and a scan-
ning electron microscope. An
internship with her department
would teach the student how to
operate the microscopes, elec-
tron microscopy techniques and,

and watercolors was first dis-
played in 1976 at the High
Museum in Atlanta and then the
Memorial Art Gallery of the
University of Rochester, New
York. The next year the collec-
tion was featured in "American
Art Review."

At Agnes Scott the Coggins
showing will feature recently ac-
quired oil paintings and pastels
by North Carolina artist Elliott
Daingerfield (1859-1932) and
Maine artist William P. Burpee
(1 846-1 949), a Luminist painter
and pastelist.

Daingerfield's works are a
wa t ercolor entitled
"Grandfathers Mountain, North
Carolina" and an oil landscape,
"Carolina Sunlight.''
Daingerfield executed these
works during his many visits to
the Blowing Rock area of North
Carolina.

Burpee's works in the Coggins
Collection include three oil
landscapes and eight pastels
and watercolors with titles such

as "Sails in the Bay" and
"Crashing Waves." According to
James Sauls, curator for the
Coggins Collection, Burpee, as a
Luminist, was one of the first
artists to use broken color to
create the effect of broken light.

As a collector of Southern art,
Dr. Coggins is "exploring largely
unchartered territory," ac-
cording to Bruce Chambers,
author of the "American Art
Review" article on Coggins'
collection and assistant curator
of the Memorial Arts Gallery,
University of Rochester.
Because Dr. Coggins is exploring
unknown art, he "has been
forced to make choices based on
excellence rather than on
reputation," states Chambers in
his article.

"Although few in number in
relation to the whole collection,
the paintings by Southerners
and by those who visited the
South in the last century, are
among the most noteworthy
items in the collection."

C A Campaigns for Funds

By Linda McColl

The Christian Association has
begun its annual pledge drive.
The budget has been increased
to $1,250 in order to provide
more fellowship opportunities,
musical groups, social, etc. C.A
wants to have as many campus
fellowship events such as the
discussion on "Dating,

Marriage, and Sex" and the
Square Dance last week.

C.A. does not receive any
funds from S.G.A. and it relies
totally on your contribution.
Every dollar above last year's
budget of $980 will be met by an
anonymous challenger Help
meet this challenge with your
pledge.

Hockey Team Recruits Supporters

By Lisa DeGrandi

Hockey is a team sport which
is played at the intercollegiate
level at Agnes Scott. It is a sport
which involves running up and
down the field dribbling a white
ball using a fancy designed stick
which has been made in
England

The object of the game is to
make a goal from inside the
striking circle. This is done either
by driving, pushpassing, or
scooping the ball among your
teammates and passing by both
the opponents' forward line and
defense

After the ball has been
"bullied" at the center line or the
50 yard line, the game is in play.

This past weekend, Agnes
Scott was defeated in hockey by
both Sewanee and Vanderbilt, at
Sewanee.

Friday afternoon we played
Sewanee Every goal they made
had to be well earned Our
defense did a good job of keeping
the ball outside of the striking
circle, driving it uptothe forward
line and intercepting Sewanee 's
passes Yet, Sewanee managed
to out run, out defense, and out
score us to win 6-0

We still had Vanderbilt to play
Saturday There was no time to
feel defeated The next day was
sunny and crisp Frost
formations developed on the
Agnes Scott van as the team

drove back to Sewanee to play
Vanderbilt at 1 1 00 o'clock

The ball was bullied at the 50
yard line headed toward
Vanderbilt's goal, then their
pass was intercepted by Agnes
Scott and was driven down field
toward our goal. After a series of
push passes, drives and scoops,
we managed to score a goal from
inside the striking circle We
could sense an Agnes Scott vic-
tory. But then Vanderbilt scored
again and by the end of the game
had scored enough goals to
make the final score 5-1. The
taste of victory disappeared.

As a member of the team I
would like to comment on the old
saying that winning is not
everything. First, there must be a
team with spirit, and a team with
support. We have the team
spirit, but we need the team sup-
port. The hockey team practices
Monday through Thursday
afternoons from 4:30 to 6:00
We need your support as either a
hockey recruit or a sidelines
hockey cheerer.

Please do not be afraid that the
team is finalized and it is too late
to play because we welcome all
new players with open arms
True, hockey requires your time,
but just for an hour, in return you
get a slim and trim body from all
of the exercise So instead of
wasting an hour in the dining
hall, come out on the field and
play with us for an hour You'll

have Miss America's body in a
matter of weeks.

With regard to playing hockey
for Black Cat games on Friday,
October 20, each sister class will
play the other sister class. In
other words, Freshmen and
Juniors will play against
Sophomores and Seniors. In
order to qualify for these games,
each girl must come to practice
at least twice a week. We would
like to make this year's hockey
game one of the highlights of
class competitive events that
Friday. After all, we do not have
Black Cat cheerleaders for
nothing. Bully time is at 3:00
P.M.. 2:00 central.

Looking ahead on the hockey
calendar, the team will be play-
ing the Georgia club on October
19 at 6:00 and a rematch with
Sewanee will be played here on
Agnes Scott territory November
1 . For these two home games we
will greatly appreciate your sup-
port so please, "Be there."

As a final word, the team who
works as a team, plays as a team,
is a team. Even if we don't
always win, the team spirit is
there. What we need are
interested students to help us
exist as a team. After all, if Miss
Darling had more than enough
ballerinas then I think we can
have enough hockey players.
Just remember to wear your
sneakers and not your toe shoes

A Year at Col lege For Twenty Gold Pieces

By Tom Hogan

How do the expenses of
today's ASC student compare to
those of the past? For the 1978-
79 academic year a student's
total expenses (i.e., college fees)
come to $4,750, of which $3.-
250 is for tuition and fees and
$1,500 is for room and board
Excluded from this analysis are
all the extra dollars that pay for
clothing, books, travel, and
entertainment

Would you believe that the
Agnes Scott Institute student of
1892 paid $240 for the entire
academic year? By the time
students were entering Agnes
Scott College in 1 906. the yearly
expense had risen to $285. an
amount composed of $80 in
tuition and $205 in room and
board for the year By 1950 the
total yearly cost was $1,200.
about one-fourth of today's
amount Note also that in 1906
room and board costs were over
twice tuition expenses, whereas
in 1978 this proportion is
reversed

The description of student
expenses in earlier years makes
interesting reading. The
catalogue of Agnes Scott
Institute for the academic year
1892-93 describes student
expenses as follows: "General
Expenses: Board, including

Lodging, Fuel, Lights, and
Tuition in all regular studies,
Calisthenics, Class Elocution,
and the general privileges of the
Institute, for the entire scholas-
tic year (forty weeks) . .
$220.00" (medical insurance
and laundry added another $20
to the yearly rate.) The College
year, 1906-7, saw expenses en-
compassing "furnished room,
light, heat, physical training, and
use of library," the 1920-21
catalogue specifically expanded
these benefits to include use of
"rest rooms." (See page 6)

From information in past
Agnes Scott catalogues, I was
able to draw the accompanying
graph of the rise in Agnes Scott
student expenses from 1892 to
the present. (For simplicity I have
charted the expenses over ap-
proximately five-year intervals.)
Since preparation of the graph, I
have discovered that the total
expenses for 1890 and 1891
were $185 and $205 respec-
tively, but the administration
probably did not know exactly
what fees would cover costs in
those beginning years.

Most notable about the chart
is the almost exponential in-
crease in student expenses over
the years. In part these in-
creased expenses reflect the
cost of better quality life at the

College today we have
elevators and air conditioning.
But to a larger extent these in-
creases reflect the devastating
inflationary trends of the twen-
tieth century which have eroded
the value of the dollar. Infact, an

the student expense curve will
show almost the same year-to-
year trends. Interesting in this
regard is that the parent in the
1 890's might pay his daughter's
$240 expense bill with 12 U.S.
twenty-dollar gold pieces. If that

inflation graph superimposed on foresightful parent had also set

pieces, they would come close to
paying his great, great,

Over-all we see that student
expenses remained fairly

Although 40% of the students
at ASC are from Georgia, the
.remaining 60% represents not
only other states in America, but
also a wide-ranging
international spectrum of coun-
tries.

Among the countries
represented by students are
Germany, Norway, Cuba.
Panama, Ceylon, France,
Nicaragua, Malaysia, South
Africa, and Venezuela.

Four of the students, Charlotte
Haug (Norway), Anita Skauge
(Norway), Gaby Preisler
(Germany), and Susan Tucker (S.
Africa), are attending Agnes
Scott under the Georgia Rota-y
Student Fund, and are in the
States for a year to study and
exchange ideas.

Studying in another country
requires adjustments and a
great deal of versatility. Ob-
viously subject material may
differ, requirements may be
stricter, and language may bean
obstacle, (or a defense).

For many, however, studies
are not the ultimate aim.
Tolerance and national
awareness are two of the
qualities that may be fostered in
Americans when interacting
with people of different cultures
and customs.

An interchange of values and
ideas can nevertheless occur in
more casual circumstances and
surely its additional
"International Flavor" can only
stimulate international peace
and understanding, and of
course, future travel plans.

An Alligator's Perspective

By Lynda Harris

precision cut hair, Crest
commercial teeth. Khaki pants,
topsiders, and a knit shirt w/
famous alligator emblem on

drinks a pint of frothy beer
Across from him sits a large
alligator, also drinking a pint of

khaki pants, and a knit shirt with

wee bit like that alligator - try

municate with others in a set.
unchallenged environment, yet
possessing a somewhat
different perspective from many
around me The attitude of this
article is one of questioning, a
questioning of priorities, and a
questioning of certain attitudes
or attributes which are con-
sidered to be virtues but which I
feel are often vices, not virtues

Organization I am
immediately struck by the com
plex and detailed organization
one encounters on this campus
Personal schedules, committee
schedules, class schedules, etc
etc etc We have measured out
our lives in square time blocks A
tremendous amount of time,
energy, and potential talent is
frittered away while people run
hither and thither trying to
organize, systemitize, and
synchronize Scott probably
turns out the most organized,
structured women in the entire
country And for what purpose?
So that we may construct and
solidify our own ruts? There is so
little spontaneity in the lives of
most students that I wonder if
we aren't secretly relieved at not

having to think for ourselves,
relieved at having a tight
schedule we can follow blindly
Or are we reassured by our hec-
tic schedules, lulled into
thinking that our lives must have
meaning if we are so infernally
busy? How often have I heard,
and taken part in, that game of
"busy" one-up-manship "I have
two tests tomorrow and three
meetings tonight before I can
even begin to study." "Well, I
have " I do not deny that the
academics are strenuous, nor
that some meetings are neces-
sary, but should we not take the
time to consciously decide just
how important, how vital is this
next test, this next meeting?
When was the last time you
watched the news, read New
Times or a non-required book,
painted a set for Blackfriars,
wrote one article for the Profile,
had a drink of dinner with a
professor and friends? We need
to explore the possibilities for
creativity and increased
awareness both on and off cam-
pus; a liberal arts college should
never be a cloister for a mind

Unity For a long time, I
thought we lacked diversity on
this campus because the college
attracted such a stereotyped
woman/girl People heard about
Scott through their ministers,
through their mothers, and
through certain social circles
centered in the southeast The
result? A self -perpetuating cycle
of Southern, Protestant-, middle
class students But I see
changes occurring in the ad-
missions literature, changes in
PR policy, and valuable changes
in the number of RTC women on

campus. The problem must lie
elsewhere, and I believe it lies in
deep-rooted attitudes held by
the students and, perhaps, by
the Administration We do not
encourage, we do not explore
the diversity that does exist
There is an insidious,
unacknowledged, pressure to
assimilate and to conform You
will graduate with your class;
you will not move ahead; you will
not fall behind; you will not leave
for a year; you will love your
class. An aside: This attitude is
reflected in much of what I ques-
tion about Black Cat What is the
purpose of this tradition? To
acknowledge the entrance of a
new class and to foster a feeling
of unity amongst students. What
kind of unity do we achieve by
telling freshmen that
sophomores and seniors are
their "enemies" and that they,
as good freshmen, must keep
their mascot secret or die in the
attempt? This method of en-
couraging unity seems a bit
negative Class rivalry aside, do
we even want this kind of unity?
My feelings of closeness with
members of my class did not
arise from our making Jimmy
Cricket costumes together It
seems to me that the unity of the
students is simply that we all are
students attending a certain
college in order to become "ed-
dycated" and to question and
explore our beliefs, ideas, and
motivations Do we discourage
diversity simply because we do
not take the time to explore it, or
are we frightened at the though
of having our beliefs, our values

Continued on page 6

we come up upon the last week,
there is a sort of desperation in
the air. This desperation has
turned many a sophomore
"friend" against a freshman
"friend " I for one don't like to
see this happen I value a
friendship too much to have it
blown up during the fun times (?)
of Black Cat! These feelings
haven't really let it intimidate
me There are girls however that
take the pranks too seriously I
have learned in the past few
weeks that it really is all in fun!
The only way to really enjoy it is
to jump into it feet first! Don't let
it get to you, it only makes it
worse. Let's enjoy this time;
even though it may be our
freshman hell week, just think of
how much worse it would be if
everyone merely sat around and
looked at each other. Besides,
who says freshmen can't fight
back? Just keep it cool. Make it
real!!!!

A Distressed Freshman

Dear Editor,

Having just read the October
16th issue of the Profile I
realized that I have an incredible
urge to hit somebody And I
wouldn't care if she were wear-
ing khakis or a pair of leather
Sassoons What is the
difference?! Concerning the
"Opinions" it seems that the

whole problem is in the way
people on this campus judge one
another The clothes do not
make the man" or for the sake
of all you liberated women, they
do not make the person' either.
If people around here would
back up a little and take the time
to try and get to know someone
who has different interests we
all would get along better and
might even learn something
about ourselves.

The good Lord created us as
individuals and that's the way
we are, like it or not! After all
isn't that the purpose of our
liberal arts education? To learn
about a wide variety of subjects
and also be able to develop our
own specific interests to their
fullest.

So, instead of assuming that
all girls who happen to like
khakis and topsiders are non-
intellects or that those who
prefer the library and Chaucer to
Moes and Joes are ivory towers
of boredom, get out and meet
some people of both types We
are all human, we all go to Agnes
Scott, and we're all female Now
that's enough that we have in
common to get a decent
conversation going and who
knows, if you try you might even
have a good time!

Sincerely.
Laurie Huebsch

Absolutism

By Andrea Julian

A

Here we are in the midst of the
most progressive era of our time,
at one of the finest women's
colleges in the nation denied
three of our basic freedoms: the
absolute right to regulate our
own hours, the absolute right to
have a guest up to our rooms,
and the absolute right to drink

When a freshman first comes
to Agnes Scott, she is thoroughly
indoctrinated into the
phenomenal honor system that
surrounds and pervades the
lives of everyone here She is
told that she is given complete
academic and intellectual
freedom The right is given to her
of self-scheduled examinations
which are unproctored like every
quiz and test in class Each and
every one of us finds the
academic and intellectual
freedoms more than a pleasant
surprise one is shocked to see
such an astounding practice in
motion From the very first, each
of us is given the responsibility
to keep and use these freedoms
in their correct perspective and
not to abuse them Yes, this is a
very good thing at Agnes Scott,
but Agnes Scott gives with one
hand and takes with the other

Even though each freshman
upon arrival is given these
academic and intellectual
freedoms that are practically ap-
plied almost at once, she is told
she is not old enough to know
how late to stay out in the

evenings her first quarter here
She is pledged to the re-
sponsibility of not cheating on
examinations and not using the
thoughts of others, but she isn't
old enough to know her own
bedtime. It's quite a con-
tradictory situation, and before
you shake your head in disbelief,
read on to other examples of the
inane situation in which you are
living.

How many times have you
seen your date on a Saturday
mght and wished you could
spend the evening alone
watching TV? But you can't
because he lives in a fraternity or
a dormitory with six guys in
the same room Where do you
go? Well, either to the car or to
one of Agnes Scott's (less than
10) date parlors, and of course,
there's probably not a TV there!
Agnes Scott doesn't consider
you old enough or responsible
enough to have a man up to your
room in the evening. Only in the
broad daylight after you've
hopefully spent the morning in
church How divine, at least you
could have him over to watch TV
at home It's so nice to knowthat
we're adult and responsible
enough to not cheat on exams,
but not when it comes to men in
the dorms Hold on to your hats,
there's more to come!

Now we come to the question

After The Embryonic Stage

By Day Small

To follow the custom of my
distinguished Senior predeces-
sors and all those who have
experienced separation from
major parts of their lives, I
reminisce of days retrievable
only in memory.

Late August, 1975. I had
visited the "renowned" ACS
campus before, but you do not
get hot until you are in the fire,
right? Here I was: a green, wide-
eyed, curious, anxious, very
anxious. unsuspecting
freshman SBA was not a formal
organization yet, but the black
girls cleaved together like a clan
of sorors We almost HAD to eat
every meal together or risk group
reproach of the subtle type. The
two black Seniors were revered
as all knowing, all wise. We
needed each other in those early
days, for independence in this
foreign place among unfamiliar
people was risky

However, we were just as
strange to the campus More
than one black student at a time
was still a new concept: how to
help them?, to what are they ac-
customed?, what kind of music
do they dance to if not to beach
music (and of course they all
dance') 7

Yes. black culture and history
were relatively unknown even
three years ago When a
classmate in freshman English
asked. "What's a sit-in?." and
another said, "Well, I thought
integration had been here a long
time." I could tell this was going
to be a I o n-g four stint!

The second autumn brought in
seven black freshmen, new in

sights, and a realization that
there really is a difference
between blacks and whites
Value judgement is not neces-
sary, but acceptance and
understanding are. Attempting
to respond to a need of better
communication, SBA sprouted.
Slowly our little cluster began to
mature from the embryonic
stages, we received SGA
funding, but little moral support.
I learned that on a person to
person level, friends do not have
to be just like us, as a matter of
fact, variance results in interes-
ting and educational
conversation.

My junior year could mildly be
called hectic, or mad, but it was
rewarding, too Not only did SBA
expand as a group, individuals
"came into themselves" so to
speak One ate with
WHOMEVER one chose

The closest I could ever come
to "shagging" was "the Hustle,"
but I could handle it. Shagging
was no longer freakish or "only
normal for them."

Mixing academically was
inevitable, but visiting, writing,
socializing off campus (at places
other than P by C where you
might see anything) was no big
thing

I think to talk about my last
(blessed) year could presage un-
favorable events, so I quickly
shift to my closing, neither
pretentious or compensatory,
eg. "We lack in that, but at least
we have this." So many pits in
the bowl of cherries, or rather
blackberries in this case, need
crushing The number of blacks

eighteenth birthday my parents
would tell me (and still do) that
they would much prefer that I
drink at home (if I was going to
drink!) rather than go out across
town somewhere and come
home in the wee hours slightly
less than sober It's a funny
thing, but Agnes Scott is sup-
posed to be our home away from
home, and here we are driving
across Atlanta for a couple of
beers on a Saturday night
Doesn't make a whole lot of
sense, does it? Once again we
have been given the res-
ponsibilities of an adult on one
hand, and on the other we are
denied a social freedom given to
us by the State of Georgia and
most of the rest of the nation
How charming, to say the least
Granted, we are attending a
private institution and when we
agreed to come here we

Absolutism

promised to abide by the rules
set down by Agnes Scott. But
don't you think in all fairness to
us. we should be treated in all
aspects as young adult women?

The fact is, if we don't have a
good, sensible head on our
shoulders by now then we never
will Giving us a curfew fall
quarter, restricting room
visiting, and denying us the right
to drink in our rooms just shows
us how much Agnes Scott
doesn't trust us with our
personal social life, but since
Agnes Scott controls our
academic and intellectual lives,
we're given the freedom and
responsiblity of adults. The value
of the honor system is tremen-
dous, but only if it gives us ab-
solute rights. Be thankful for
those you have, but be aware of
those you haven't.

and other minorities enrolled
and working in upper level
positions is embarrassing. All
the boarding black students
come from Georgia, except for
one South Carolinian; is not that
a bit too much homogeneity? If
there were enough of us for
black men to come and inves-
tigate, we would not complain so
much about never seeing any.
Even with financial aid, ASC is
expensive, thus one cannot
expect hordes of black high
school girls to flock here, but
devoted, sincere PR work from
SBA and the SARs could change
things.

The blacks here have
decreased in number this year,
and I feel that increased com
munity friendship and intra-
group spirit will continue only if
some REAL efforts are made,
such as SBA's new non-black
members, more course em-
phasis on black history. Let us
close out these early, graping
phases of relationships and en-

Freshman Survival

For the first time at Agnes
Scott, a Freshman Survival
Workshop will be offered. What
in the world is that, you may ask?
The workshop is an opportunity
to meet with your senior
counselor to discuss study skills,
organization of time for
studying, and basic study habits
The program is sponsored by
Gue Hudson and Molly Merrick,
in response to last year's
freshman class' plea for help
with studying. On Wednesday,
October 25th at 6:30 the
counselors will meet with their
freshman groups. Look in your
mailboxes for notification of
where your meeting will be held.
A more in depth discussion of
study skills will be offered during

LOOKING AROUND

Thin, boney, babies with hungry eyes crv

Refugees run and coeds talk on the phone

Tawny cheeks and ruby lips

Slender legs and fruitful hps

Peace talks and afternoon walks

Ugandans slaughtered

And racial slurs on rock and roll records

Blind dates to ballgames and hairsprays with no

Nuclear plants, button down shirts (and Khaki pants)

Confessions of a Summer
Janitor: Part II

"Blue Collar Blues"

By Melanie Best

The propaganda slants both
ways unions hold management
hostage; they provide the
laborers' only salvation; they are
simply a necessary evil
Conservative parents transmit
their rabid prejudice down
through the family Yet striking
mineworkers get a great deal of
sympathetic media coverage
And a labor economics course
approaches the subject his
torically and statistically.

The best way out of this con
fusing maze of opinions is to
observe labor unions first hand
My summer job at General
Motors provided the perfect op-
portunity Mine was the unique
posture of entering the blue-
collar environment firmly on
management's side and yet for
eighty days being a worker (As it
requires ninety days of em-
ployment to be eligible for union
membership I remained an out-
sider to both camps )

My journal chronicles an
interesting shift in point of view
Initial exposure to the mentality
which badmouths. even
ridicules, all laboring effort
showed up as indignant anti
union comments in the early en
trie" The regulars at the Parts
Division in Doraville sabotage
productivity through grumbling
attitudes and constant socializ
ing among themselves Any
excuse to make a long phone call
in the middle of a shift is a good
one

U A W demands on
management initially seemed
outlandish and manipulative
The unrealistic wage scale aside
- unrealistic because it does
not reflect the difficulty of the
work demanded relative to other
fields negotiators have

inserted into the contract a "cost
of living allowance" as a tack-on

to base pay; currently the
allowance runs about sixty cents
an hour. Management has little
grounds on which to fire a union
member, a fact supremely frus-
trating to foremen. Drinking and
pot smoking are as common as
eating, and practically as visible
Even when alcoholism is a
severe problem, the person is
merely laid off temporarily and,
with his consent, admitted to a
special detoxification wing of the
hospital GM of course pays all
bills for the two-month recovery
period

Unfortunately both sides dis-
play manipulative and un-
sympathetic behavior. The union
rank-and-file speak with much
justification when they make the
typical accusation of managerial
indifference toward employees
By the end of my stint I, too. had
lost the capacity for intense
anger but did fire up some an-
noyance over the treatment
higher ups gave the summer
crew To condense a com-
plicated story, in one week they
changed their minds three times
about when to let us go for the
summer, a poor way to run a
large facility within the world's
second largest corporation
Needless to say, their mariner is
devoid of consideration for a
person's need to plan his life.

Of course complexity
characterizes this system, but I
still believe the fundamental
problem with the union image
lies in the fact that everyone
speaks of labor-management
relations in dichotomies. An-
tagonism is the norm primarily
because it is expected. The battle
lines have been drawn and
neither "side" seems willing to
adopt a fresh approach to the
situation a case of stale thin-
king No one is right, but
everyone is muguided.

Getting The Scene Together

By Kenslea Motter

As a theatre student this
quarter. I am required to put in a
number of hours working in the
shop with Mr Griffith It was
only after I attempted (for the
first timeever I might addjto saw
boards with an electric saw and
hammer and nail things together
that I realized just how much
work goes into making a set

However, before engaging in
the manual labor there are many
things a set designer must think
out Mr Griffith and Dr Brooking
had to talk over what the set felt
like, or what mood it needed to
convey They had to consider the
demands of the play, since it was
being done in the round. The set
needed to be mobile because the
play is being entered in the
American College Theatre
competition The number of exits

and their locations also had to be
decided upon After doing all of
this. Mr Griffith proceeded to
make a sketch of the set for ap-
proval by Dr Brooking

Then, the actual building of
the set takes place Blackfnars
and theatre students work in the
shop sawing, hammering, and
painting under the patient
supervision of Mr Griffith I'd
like to say that this work can be
somewhat trying for a beginning
carpenter as well as the instruc
tor I'm sure. Nevertheless, at
this time, all my fingers and
other limbs are still intact

Mr Griffith stated that the
play was very unique because it
was all falling right into place the
way it should He voiced proudly
that "it's going to be one of the
best things I've ever done.''

DramaTech will be presenting
David Rogers' Flowers for Algernon
as its fall production on November 10,
1 1, 16, 17, and 18 at 8:00 p.m. The
DramaTech Theatre is located at
the corner of Hemphill Ave. and
Ferst Drive on the Georgia Tech campus.
Admission is $3.00 for adults, $1.50 for
students. Reservations may be made

Letters From An
Agnes Scott Freshman

The Bride Wore Spanish Lace and Braces

"A Wedding"

((October 6, 1927))
Sunday Morn 9:00
Angelest Mother and Daddy,

Am waiting for a bathtub and
will write you all now so I can
mail it on my way to church.
Believe I wrote Thurs. Got your
letter to Big S. & me Fri and
yours to be soon afterward. I
forget exactly Time makes no
impression whatsoever on me.
Haven't been here even 2 weeks
and it seems like at least 3
months! Enjoyed our joint letter
so much & my special one even
more. You're so sweet about
writing . Well, to start out with all
my news. Thurs. after a very
hectic day I dressed up in my
white linen suit & Gay & I started
out to little Dec. When I got down
in Main hall I found a phone call
posted for me Was very excited
of course but couldn't get my
"party" The man said it was
"some Tech boys but they got
tired and left." Well Gay and I
walked on up to little Dec & were
sitting in the drug store when
who should walk in but Harold &
2 other little Freshmen all in
these little yellow rat caps the
Tech Fresh have to wear He was
all grins of course & I really got
quite a kick out of seeing
somebody from home. One of
the other rats was right cute,
was from Washington DC
(thats probably the only reason I
thought he was cute) We
"cant talk to men on the street
but ten minutes" so after asking
about school, home, etc. & a date
which I said I couldn't have, they
went on out Still trembling with
excitement over our first en-
counter Gay & I walked back up
the street to Miss Gaylords
Oh, yest it was that afternoon
that I got 3 letters all at one time!
From Evelyn Turner & Buddy
Weed & Everade McGehee So
you see Thurs was quite a
banner day Then Fri. after
classes (2 10) Gay & I went to
Atlanta with Mildred Greenleaf
to shop It was grand and cold
and I wore my blue jersey & sand
hat and we walked all over town
& went to Nunnaly's. Then
we came home but oh yes

On the return trip as we were
busting across five points at
least 50 yellow rat caps loomed
up before us & Harold was one of
the bunch. We just said Hello
Harold Hello Ditty & never
stopped. So that was another
thrill for Fri! When we got back to
school I had to dress for dinner
(my black & white) & went with
another cute little Freshman to
spend the night with Polly Irving
(sister of B S s friend Mae
Erskine who graduated last year)
& Carolyn Payne (from Tus-
cumbia) both Sophs. Enjoyed it
right much but I like to stay in my
own room & as Gay & I had spent
the night before with Mildred (I
forgot to tell you) I was very
hungry for some sleep last night.

After dinner 2:1 5
((Sunday))
Have just eaten a perfectly
enormous dinner chicken,
rice, butter beans, sweet
potatoes & ice cream. Am going
to wash my hair in a little while &
ought to write some letters. Got
a special from Big Sister this
morning which I'm sending to
you & will you please send this to
her 0 yes - about the permis-
sions. Thank you so much but
Miss Hopkins told me to tell you
to specify it if I can "meet men in
town for ball games" etc Of
course you didn't knowanything
about that because I didn't tell
you but I thought that would
come under general permission
like the dates do But if you think
its allrite please send another
one Wish I was going to see VMI
Tech game. . . . Hope you can find
a pretty coat If this weather
keeps up I'll certainly need it.
They've had the furnace going
all this week. Please don't forget
about the $15 for Student
Government & my allowance
when you have time & the
permissions if you think thats all
rite Have no idea where or when
I'll meet any "men" to meet in
town for ball games but my
motto has always been "be
prepared" All my love & why
don't you hurry up here Daddy?
Hugs & kisses. Tell the teachers
hidy!

Devotedly Ditty

By Cat Wendt

Should you get the chance to
catch A Wedding, by all means
brace yourself for a truly
hilarious, yet thought-provoking
film. With a cast that includes
the likes of Carol Burnett,
Geraldine Chaplin, Desi Arnez,
Jr., Mia Farrow and Lauren Hut-
ton, director Robert Altman has
made quite an ambitious effort
to draw from his audience such
diverse feelings as humor,
sorrow, warmth and contempt,
all at the same. He does a pretty
good job.

The action of the movie
centers around the ostentatious
marriage festivities of a teenage
couple (so teenage, in fact, that
the bride still sports her braces),
both of whom come from very
wealthy families. After the first
hilarious "ceremony" scene,
there follows a jumbled, yet
delightful assortment of in-
timate scenarios that include the
untimely death of the
grandmother in an upstairs
bedroom that everyone tries to
keep secret until the guests are
gone, attempts at adultery (some
of which are successful), a pot-

smoking wedding party, and the
lecherous family doctor who
takes every opportunity to be
"handy" with the young female
guests in the interests of
medicine. The absurdity of the
whole affair is heightened by the
running commentary from Ms.
Billingsly, the professional wed-
ding coordinator, who instructs
the reception-goers in wedding
etiquette and all traditions
thereof.

As the reception progresses,
the humor becomes more and
more strained, and is finally
replaced by a varied display of
sexual and emotional
perversions which arouse noth-
ing but a feeling of contempt for
the characters and their sordid
lives. The screenwriters have
very perceptively chosen the
most intimate of family oc-
casions as a backdrop against
which to silhouette almost every
moral failing known to mankind.

There is some very welcomed
comic relief during the final
stages of the reception through
the antics of a crusty and very
senile Bishop, the aforemen-
tioned family doctor, and a squad
of security officers who

Granddaddy Comedy Presented

The next Monday night movie
in the Fabulous Fox Fall Film
Testival is the granddaddy
Hollywood comedy of all time, It
Happened One Night.

Starring Claudette Colbert,
Clark Gable, Alan Hale and Ward
Bond, the comedy won all five
major Academy Awards in 1 934,
a first-time ever grand sweep
Directed by Frank Capra, the Os-
car winners were Capra, the pic-
ture itself, Gable, Colbert, and
Robert Riskin, the writer.

The classic comedy is a battle
of the sexes waged between a
hard-boiled reported and a dizzy
society girl, and the fall of the
"walls of Jericho" remains one
of the most hilarious screen
climaxes ever filmed.

The 110-minute comedy will
be shown one time only, Mon-
day, October 23, on the giant Fox
screen.

With the doors opening at 7
p.m., there will be a Pink Panther
cartoon and musical favorites
played on the mighty Fox organ
by a special guest, beginning at
7:30 p.m.

To avoid long ticket lines and
an expected sell-out, the Fox
management advises that
tickets be purchased in advance
from the Fox box office or any
other SEATS location for $2.50
each.

Proceeds to toward the res-
toration of the Fox.

a local restaurant.

Anarkali Restaurant 21 1 5 N

Decatur Road at Clairmont Road
(tucked away near Zesto's); 32 1 -
0251 Lunch 1 1 :30a m - 2 p.m
10:30 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday
Tuesday - Friday; Dinner 5:30 -
10:30 p.m. Tuesday - Sunday.
Closed on Monday. Dress -
casual.

Four years ago when we came
to Agnes Scott it was difficult (if
not impossible) to find a good
restaurant in the Decatur area
Within the past year or so things
have improved! At present there
are quite a few restaurants that
are fairly close to campus and
not too expensive.

Anarkali is a perfect example
of a small but very good place to
go for a real change-of-pace
meal It has some of the best In
dian food in the Atlanta area

They serve one luncheon
special each day for about $2 75
- including lentil soup or aloo
chop (a delightfully spicy version
of the potato pancake), the en-
tree, rice and tea I have always
found their lunch specials to be a
lot of good food for that price

Other than the luncheon
specials, you can order from the
regular dinner menu. Most en-
trees range from $4 - 5 and in
many cases you have a choice of
the dishes being served with
beef, chicken, lamb or prawns
The servings are large and rice is
usually ordered separately.

Anarkali has a wonderful
variety of entrees other than the
usual curries. They also serve
vegetables as well as a delicious
wheat bread stuffed with
vegetables and fried in butter A
spicy hot or iced tea is available
as well as wine and beer If you
are unfamiliar with Indian food
don't be distressed the
proprietors, Abu and Mimi Faru-
que, are anxious and very willing
to make suggestions But be
forewarned that when they des
cnbe a dish as hot, it is just t ha t !

The lunch crowd is not too
heavy but for dinner you might
call to see whether you need
reservations. Weeknights are
crowded from my experiences
but I've heard that on Weekends
reservations are a must.

uniform until World War I, at
which time there was tremen-
dous inflation, and, as a result,
student expenses went up 57%
in just four years ($350 to $550
from 1915 to 1920). The dollar
deflated during the 1930s, and
student expenses remained
nearly constant for 15 years
Thereafter the inflationary
surges brought on by World War
II. the Korean War the Viet Nam
conflict, and by governmental
overspending of the 1 970's have
contributed to student expenses
increasing by 560% from 1940
to 1978 Even though Agnes
Scott student expenses are ap-
proaching $5,000, the expenses
of students in other private
liberal arts colleges are con-
siderably higher.

What predictions can now be
made about the future of student
expenses? Student expenses
will continue to rise as the dollar
depreciates in value In 1974 I
predicted that student expenses
would rise to $5,000 by 1980
That prediction should be
achieved in 1979 A very
conservative estimate of in-
flation is 6% per year, and this
rate will cause prices to double
in 1 2 years and triple in 1 9 years.
Hence, Agnes Scott student
expenses should easily be $10.-
000 by 1990 and $15,000 by
1997 Consider also that all
costs of a college will double and

challenged 7 A liberal arts at-
mosphere should push a student
to examine herself, to examine
others, in an open manner and
hopefully to grow and be stret
ched in the process. My own
experience shows that the other
side to acceptance of diversity is
the willingness to be diverse,
perverse, or simply honest If
students who hold an entirely
different set of social and moral
values can accept, and even en-
joy, the company of an in-
corrigible druggie who
meditates and has an insatiable
passion for literature and
nachos. then they can accept
most anything Let us not be
blind to the value of others, let us
not be above learning from
someone with a different
perspective

Passivity (or as Mr Behan so
aptly phrased it. The Lack of
Sheer Cussedness on Campus)
While being inducted into one of
the boards on campus, in which
the inductees are charged to
further passivity and non-resis-
tance, I felt the Cynosure (or was
.1 Lilt; censure?) of neighboring
eyes Although the glances were
humourous, they substantiated
my belief that there are too few
assertive, much less aggressive,

are encouraged to speak out in

triple, including salaries, cost of
heating, lighting, food, etc.

Of course, you may think that
student expenses over the
forthcoming years will be as
easy to meet as in the past
because parents' wages will in-
crease with inflation over time. I
suspect, however, that inflation
makes it harder to pay for college
education. Agnes Scott figures
seem to support this hypothesis
In 1977 about 45% of ASC
student received an average of
$2,500 in aid from the College
In 1974 the figures were 32 5%
and $2,100; in 1970, 25% and
$1,000; and in 1965, 22% and
$545

The College is relying more
and more on gifts and en-
dowment income to pay an in-
creasing share of student
expenses. However, the
purchasing power of the en-
dowment is being rapidly
decreased by inflation overtime.
Unless the endowment expands
greatly, it will not be able to meet
tomorrow's increased expenses
If present trends continue, then
we may expect a not-too-distant
doomsday when combined
parents' payments and en-
dowment income will not be able
to pay for a private college
education. One college cannot
alter inflation, but by understan-
standing inflation, we might an-
ticipate proper means to avoid its
consequences.

the short amount of time since I
returned to Scott, I have been
amazed that the most common
method of obtaining "in-
formation" is through rumor
Perhaps the complaint that
students seldom are given
explicit information concerning
the workings of the college is
justified. Certainly I have felt
that we often were treated as
children who were not to worry
and not to question decisions
handed down by the parental
element Whose responsiblity is
it to obtain this information? A
hypothetical situation: If a major
obstacle ot changing the liquor
policy on campus were a number
of endowments stipulating that
the policy not change, wouldn't
you rather be aware of this
obstacle and try to overcome it.
than be frustrated by insufficient
information and apparent dead
ends? I would question the ad-
ministrative right to silence, but,
more to the point. I would en-
courage students to stand up
and demand information which
is both their right and their res-
ponsibility And encouragement,
though not necessary, is
certainly helpful; we should en-
courage each other to be as
vocal as possible, to share their
thoughts, not only on academic,
but on social, political, and
religious questions as well

I have no inspiring peroration
and no conclusion other than the
repeated request that students
think on these things ." I would
also like to thank Mr Behan for
his very perceptive and
constructive speech which
enabled me to make certain
ideas and questions clear and.
hopefully, distinct

(CPS) - The mini-series
"Holocaust" was finally broad
cast over Israeli television the
last week of September after
much wrangling and agonizing,
but viewer reaction, according to
Variety, was ''rather
lukewarm " Part of the series'
impact was apparently dulled by
the concurrent completion of the
Camp David agreements

Israeli Television bought the
series for an unprecedented
$15,000 after a long public
debate over the propriety of
showing the series in a land
where a great number of people
are survivors of the Nazi
genocide against Jews Even
after buying rights to broadcast
the show, the network delayed
its release while public con-
troversy played itself out When
part one of the series was finally
aired on September 25. the
network had a team of
psychiatrists standing by to give
help to viewers who were
emotionally overcome

While the ratings were high
a 1977 basketball game against
the Soviet Union had attracted a
few more viewers the
psychiatrists were not needed
Most viewer commentary
concerned the quality of the

acting and the historical validity
of the series.

Announcement of the Camp
David "framework for peace"
interrupted part three, and the
ensuing flurry of news reports
disrupted the remainder of the
show's schedule Ratings for the
final parts of the mini-series fell

The Ponder Heart" in 1 956 and
'The Robber Bridegroom" in

1 976. 'The Robber Bridegroom"
will be staged by Atlanta's
Alliance Theatre this spring.

Miss Welty has always been a
favorite guest at Agnes Scott.
She has twice been a guest
speaker for the college's annual
Writers' Festival, most recently
in 1977.

"Miss Welty, in my judgment, "
stated Dr. Margaret W.
Pepperdene, chairman of the
Agnes Scott English
department, "is the most dis-
tinguished writer of stories alive
today. To have her visit Agnes
Scott is one of the finest gifts the
college can give our students for
their growth both emotional and
intellectual. For Miss Welty is
one of those unique persons
who truly treasures friendships,
and it is to the credit of our
students that she considers
Agnes Scott her second home."

Miss Welty first gained fame
as a short-story writer, and
throughout her subsequent
career as a novelist has con-
tinued to write short magazine
pieces. A native and current
resident of Jackson, Miss., she
writes of her native South and
the effect on the South of events
she has lived through two
world wars, the Depression and
the Civil Rights movement. Yet,
according to critics, her writing
is not limited to regionalism, but
instead deals with the universal
themes of humankind.

Her first short stories are
collected in the volume "A
Curtain of Green" (1941). Her
other books include "The Wide
Net and Other Stories" (1943),
"Delta Weddding" (1946), "The
Golden Apples" (1949), "The
Bride of Innisfallen" (1 955) and
"Losing Battles" (1970), for
which she was nominated for a
National Book Award.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE is
beautifully situated on one side
of the Georgia Railroad (see
Genesis 1 :25), whose trains
have a remarkably regular
schedule, never in all the
glorious history of the institution
having once failed to pass during
prayers, chapel, or song recital.
The campus is quite unique
among campuses. It is adorned
with green trees, grass which
one must not tread upon in the
spring and twelve imposing
buildings.

The first building to meet
one's eye after one has
undergone the terrors of the
underpass is a large structure
made of red brick topped by the
famous tower which one may
not ascend in body, but which
has nevertheless made many a
Freshman's spirit soar into the
realms of poetry. The effect of
the whole is sufficiently im-
pressive to render this building
worthy to contain the "powers

that be," the telephone and
several of the torture chambers.
Above these, for two stories,
people live and still higher up
they sing and paint. When Miss
Hopkins makes an an-
nouncement she calls the place
"Agnes Scott Hall," but we
ourselves can never picture it by
any other name than "Main
Buiding." Hung to one side of
this construction by means of
the far-famed collonade is that
superficial adjunct of Higher
Learning a place to eat and
sleep Rebekah Scott Hall. It is
piously constructed in the form
of a cross, with dainty little Juliet
balconies really meant to be fire-
escapes, hung to the sides. On
the ground floor is the great
assembly hall of the multitude
when they sing songs and pray
prayers the chapel. There are
the Society halls, where you
have to sing for twelve days in
two weeks and then one night
you listen to debates.

The main purpose of the
present Christian Association is
to encourage individual Chris-
tian growth for Agnes Scott
students through Bible study
and prayer, fellowship, and com-
munity service projects. Since
its organization in the 1930s,
the Christian Association has
been linked in affiliate
membership with the Young

Women's Christian Association
(Y.W.C.A.). Because we feel that
the Y.W.C.A. is no longer meet-
ing the individual needs of the
students of this campus, the
Christian Association Board
moves that the Asociation disaf-
filiate with the Y.W.C.A.

According to the C.A.
constitution, "Proposed
amendments must be read to the
Association at least one week

before action is to be taken, and
must be carried by a two-thirds
vote of the Association. " The As-
sociation is the entire student
body. Because a called student
body meeting is impractical,
write-in ballots will be sent out
the second week of November. A
time will be set aside for dis-
cussion at the Christian As-
sociation's open meeting Oc-
tober 30, at 6:30 in the Rebekah
Rep Room.

Social Council Spreads

with something new spiked
punch. A non-alcoholic punch
will also be served. The ad-
mittance cost has been set at
$2.00 for drinkers and $1 .00 for
non-drinkers. Seniors' parents

Atlanta Chamber Players to Open Season

The Atlanta Chamber Players,
recently returned from their first
Southeastern tour, will present
their opening Atlanta concert for
1978-79 on Monday, Nov. 6, at
Agnes Scott College. Concert
time is 8:1 5 p.m. in Presser Hall.

The eight members of the
Atlanta Chamber Players are
Melanie Cramer, flute; Robert
Brown, clarinet; Bradley

Stewart, violin; Anne
Eichelberger Page, violin;
Marian Kent, viola; Dorothy Hall
Lewis, cello; Paula Peace, piano;
and Scott Douglas, percussion.

For the Agnes Scott concert,
the Atlanta Chamber Players
will perform both traditional and
contemporary chamber music.
The program includes Mozart's
"Quintet for Clarinet and Strings

in A Major, K. 581," Brahms'
"Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op.
60," Ned Rorem's "Lovers" and
Robert Kogan's "Sonata no. 2."

According to Paula Peace,
Atlanta Chamber Players
spokesperson, the Mozart "-
Quintet" and other quintets and
sextets are now possible in the
ensemble's repertoire because
of the addition of new member
and violinist, Anne Page. Mrs.
Page, former concertmaster of
the Yale Philharmonia and the
Yale Opera Orchestra, is the
winner of numerous regional
and national performance
awa rds.

"Mozart's 'Quintet,' which he
wrote in 1 789, two years before
his death, is regarded as one of
his finest works for chamber
ensemble," according to Ms.
Peace.

Rorem's "Lovers," written in
1964, is described by the com-
poser as a narrative in ten
scenes for harpsichord, flute,
percussion and cello. The
percussion instruments include
four timpani, vibraphone,
xylophone, glockenspiel and
chimes.

Kogan, on the faculty of the
New England Conservatory of
Music, wrote "Sonata no. 2" in
1 975 for flute, viola and marim-
ba. He entitled the movements
"Folk Song," "Circus Music"
and "Desert With Starry Night."

Future concerts by the Atlanta
Chamber Players will include
performances Nov. 27 and Feb.
27 for the Atlanta College of
Art's Visiting Artists Series, Jan.
21 at DeKalb Community
College, Jan. 30 at the Georgia
Institute of Technology and April

2 at Agnes Scott College. In
March the ensemble will make
another tour, this time in Nourth
Carolina for a series of evening
concerts. Their recent October
tour took them to Florida,
Alabama and south Georgia for
educational lecture-
demonstrations and evening
concerts.

The Atlanta Chamber Players
are in their third year of
residence at Agnes Scott
College. The ensemble is finan-
cially supported in part by the
Georgia Council for the Arts,
private foundations, local
businesses and individuals.
Contributions can be made to
the Friends of the Chamber
Players. For more information

Players, Call 373-0447 or 874-

How to Look at a Creative Woman

Marion Thomas Clark

A TRIBUTE TO
AAARION THOAAAS CLARK

October 6, 1978
Marion T. Clark would have
been the last member of this
faculty to have wanted his
virtues extolled in public, for he
was a modest and humble man.
He would have much preferred
that we be about our business of
instilling in students, as well as
in faculty, a devotion to the
purposes of Agnes Scott College
and a genuine love of learning,
which characterized his life.
These missions were primary in
his professional life as a chemist
and an educator. In some way,
however, it gives us comfort and
new direction to remind
ourselves of the many fine
qualities which made this man a
very special person to all who
knew him.

Having received degrees from
Emory University and the
University of Virginia, Dr Clark
first was a member of the
faculties of Oxford College of
Emory University, Birmingham-
Southern College, and Emory
University In 1 960, he became a
member of the Agnes Scott com-
munity as Professor of Chemis-
try He was appointed chairman
of the department in 1973 and
was named William Rand
Kenan. Jr , Professor of Chemis-
try in 1975

Dr Clark's honors included
membership in Phi Beta Kappa,
Omicron Delta Kappa, and
Sigma Xi He had served in
various offices of his profes-
sional societies, including terms
as President of the Georgia
Academy of Science and
Chairman of the Georgia Section
of the American Chemical
Society In addition to his profes-
sional affiliations, he was an ac-
tive member of the Glenn
Memorial United Methodist
Church and its governing body
He was a member of the Board of
Directors of the Decatur-DeKalb
Civic Ballet, which he also
served as a "semi-professional

stage hand."

It would be an inappropriate
and insensitive gesture to the
memory of this man if we des-
cribed him only in these
impersonal terms. We have
known this good and gentle man
as a warm human being in our
midst. He had an abiding en-
thusiasm for learning and an un-
canny knack of transferring his
love of learning to his students,
for whom he had the greatest
respect and concern.

As a teacher, he was
thorough, but realistic in his
expectations; he was deman-
ding, but patient with his
students' struggles; he was
serious, but jovial in conveying
the fun and excitement of
chemistry. A part of this en-
thusiasm is reflected in his
recent comments

When I had general
chemistry in college, the
Quantum Theory was only
seven years old . .
Everybody had heard of it,
but only a sophisticated
few understood it and
probably fewer still ap-
preciated its implications.
By 1 978, this theory would
make possible the rational
inter-relating of most of
the facts and phenomena
we encounter in the
natural sciences. To have
watched this development
has been to witness a
pageant of the mind that is
truly remarkable To be
able to pass some of this
pageant along to students
to help them
understand how some dif-
ficult concept came into
existence and why we
need it is a very satis-
fying part of the teaching
process.

QUERIES

By T. Lancaster

Does anybody really know
what time it is? Does anybody
really care? Someone does. This
week the question was about
why the dining hall clock thinks
it is always 8:50 and the clock in
Dana registers 10:10. What is
the big deal? Can't they just set
the clocks? Well, it is not that
easy. The master system for all
of the clocks on campus is in
Buttrick. Every time the power is
turned off in Buttrick, so are the
clocks. It is pointless to try to set
the clocks until Buttrick is back
in order. This problem, it seems,
will have to be another ad-
justment until our campus is
back to "normal."

LETTERS

Dear Editor,

I am not sure to whom I ought
to direct this question, so I am
writing to you.

Why is it that each member of
the senior class must pay an ad-
ditional twenty-five dollars for
graduation gowns, caps,
diplomas, etc. . . .? First of all, it
seems to me that after each
student invests over twenty
thousand dolllars in an "Agnes
Scott" education, the College
could absorb the rental cost of
the student's robe, mortarboard,
and sheepskin.

Secondly, would it not be pos-
sible, and more practical as well
as economical, for the College to
purchase an adequate supply of
robes for continued use? (These
robes would surely last a good
while.) The student would then
be responsible only for the cost
of her mortarboard, which she
would then be able to keep. As a
result, the College would: 1.
retain a supply of robes to be
used whenever necessary, 2
the graduating students would
be relieved of at least one extra
financial burden, and 3 she
would have her cap to keep as a
memento of her college years.
Each Senior Class would then be
responsible for the dry-cleaning
and the care of the robes.

Is this suggestion not feasible,
considering that many Seniors
resent the additional cost for
graduation, wonder where the
twenty-five dollars goes, and
why the College does not provide
these items as recognition of the
completion of an arduous, if not
nearly impossible task!? Please
print this letter in hopes that the
appropriate authorities will soon
respond.

Love, Jimmy

Woman" I was struck with
horror that the founder of the
New York Times Book Review
had spoken on nothing worth
analyzing or critiquing. Her topic
(which was never clearly defined
nor completely understood by
Ms. Hardwick's own admission)
was very soon buried within
several anthologies of creative
women like the Bronte sisters,
George Sand and Margaret
Fuller Unfortunately, Ms.
Hardwick's attempt at a des-
cription of these creative
women, how they lived and died,
was severely hampered by her
lack of speaking ability,
organization and coherence. The
one redeeming factor in Ms
Hardwick's presentation was
herself. Elizabeth Hardwick
created enough humour worth
laughing about for a long time.

In retrospect, I enjoyed
watching Ms. Hardwick as a
highly animated figure from
which poured forth amusing
blurbs and anecdotes. Her
eccentricity, which bordered on
the drama of a bad actress,
produced the aura of Elizabeth
Hardwick, an enigma. Initially,
one wondered if this ludicrous
woman was a drunkard or
perhaps an affectation of
herself. But as the hour parsed
each member of the audience
had to translate Elizabeth
Hardwick's jovial rambling into
something of intense subjective
meaning or continue to contem-
plate the real topic for the even-

ing Ms. Hardwick. Her
humour did not replace a
substantive thesis, but Elizabeth
Hardwick, the creative woman,
did.

A closer look at Elizabeth
Hardwick revealed a sensitive,
absurd woman whose
liberalness objectified the
nature of the creative women
she admired. To demand of her
to delve into the "why" of
romantic will in creative woman
would have been as difficult as
self-analysis. At least Ms.
Hardwick described the
symptoms of romantic will
through the parallel in the lives
of George Sand and Margaret
Fuller. In so doing, she showed
her inherent creativity; she told
her less-noted story in another
age that denied women their just
rewards.

Elizabeth Hardwick was not
just entertainment but a
manifestation of that vague sub-
ject called the romantic will in
creative woman Indeed, she left
a permanent impression on my
mind as a reflection of her artis-
tic soul. Excited, erratic
vibrations emanated from all her
gesticulating, a constant
reminderthat she is a writer and
not a speaker. I can conclude
that the subject was intriguing
though the speech was not. But
if her creative energy sparked
some interests in learning more
about these exceptional women,
then Ms Hardwick succeeded in
doing what mere words could
not do.

Continued on page 4

Two weeks ago, I submitted a
short article to the Profile on
behalf of the Students for Black
Awareness. That article, I
unhappily reveal, did not, due to
lack of space, appear in the
Profile; however, an extract of it,
a poem entitled "Oh! Lord" by
Antoinette Payne was
presented, but without
acknowledgement of SBA as the
contributor.

The other poem included
within that article, or what I
intended to be that article, was
"The Alarm Clock " It is a poem
which speaks specifically to
Black people, but it is a realistic
encouragement and admonition
to us all. On the surface, "The
Alarm Clock" tells a story of the
Black man bowing in acceptance
to segregation and racial dis-
crimination but that is all over
now, or at least I am told that it
is. Therefore, I look at the poem
on a different level.

Upon closer examination,
"The Alarm Clock" reveals that
we all make many unnecessary
mistakes because we fail to take
the time to examine all of the
possible consequences. In other
words, we act before we think.
The poem concludes that
sometimes "it just don't pay to
get up quick," and I would like to
add that if you refuse to take the
time to consider all of the pos-
sible results, it just "don't pay to
get up."

At this point, I would like to

thank the members of the
Profile staff for including this
article in the "Voice of Agnes
Scott" and allowing me to share
with you, as a Black member of
the Agnes Scott community,
something of my culture through
this short poem and something
of myself through the printing of
this article.

The dress is casual.

Cornucopia is a delightful
sandwich shop located in the
Northlake 2 shopping center.
The delicatessen has the widest
variety and most unique com-
bination of sandwiches I have
seen. The menu, which doubles
as a placemat, is vast and mak
ing up your mind is the hardest
part

They have one section of 27
exotic sandwiches such as the
Hawaiian Farmer (cooked ham,
Swiss cheese, turkey breast, a
pineapple slice, and walnuts)
and the Cornucopia (turkey
breast, bacon, cream cheese,
and strawberry marmalade). The
sandwiches are served with
potato salad, a dill pickle slice,
lettuce, and tomato, and range in
price from $2.50-$3.85 On two
visits Harry and I have tried four
of these sandwiches and were
never disappointed. They were
delicious and quite filling.

Other selections on the menu
include Assorted Platters (i.e.,
stuffed tomato with tuna salad,
the Antipasto Platter, a Cheese
Plate), and appetizers, salads,
and soup.

Other goodies to choose from
are the regular deli-type
sandwiches such as ham and
cheese, roast beef, pastrami,
and egg salad. All sandwiches
may be served on toast, white
bread, rye, pumpernickel, whole
wheat, onion roll, or French
bread.

The desserts include cheese
cake, eclairs, chocolate mousse,
and a few exotic delicacies, but
we were too stuffed to indulge.
They serve assorted juices, tea,
and colas as well as draught and
bottled beer and wine.

We found the service to be
quite slow at Cornucopia but
once the food arrived it seemed
to be worth the wait. If you are in
the mood for a sandwich, try this
place it is habit forming! It is a
good stop before or after shop-
ping or a movie at Northlake.

If you're looking for high-
falooting', boisterous
entertainment, don't count on
Goin' South to provide it.
Directed by and starring Jack
Nicholson, this film never really
gets off the ground. Many of its
scenes are pointless and
sometimes even dull, and little of
it hangs together very well.
Nonetheless, Goin' South does
manage to exude a degree of
charm and will even encourage
a few chuckles. Jack Nicholson
has himself to thank for that.

The action takes place in
Texas just after the Civil War,
and concerns a captured outlaw,
Henry Moon, who finds himself
saved at his hanging by a Civil
War ordinance that allows war-
widowed women to claim and
marry convicts to work their
farms and businesses (an

ordinance conceived out of
desperation, to say the least).
Moon's savior is the lovely but
aloof Julia Tate (played by Mary
Steenburgen, and a very unique
performance at that), who needs
Moon to help dig her as-yet-
unyielding gold mine. The rest of
the film consists of a number of
mildly funny scenes, few of
which are particularly worthy of
mention. The only continuity to
the film presents itself through
the growing romance between
Moon and Tate, which provides
some very warm and tender
moments in an otherwise un-
conventional comedy-western.

One cannot ignore, even in
this film, the great talent of Jack
Nicholson. If any one else had
starred in Goin' South, his
name would most certainly be
Mud. Only Nicholson could
recognize and exploit the eccen-
tricities of Moon, and one cannot
help but be charmed by this ad-

noidal-voiced, grungy, but happy
critter. Nicholson's talent as a
director is evident, as well,
through excellent filming
techniques and his control over
the other actors. Nicholson has
created a film that does not
pretend to be what it isn't, but
takes advantage of what it is a
lot of good-natured messing
around.

Also to this film's credit is the
priceless performance in a
minor role by our favorite
reprobate, John Belushi.

If you're free between 3:30
and 5:30 in the afternoon, you
can see Goin' South for $1 50at
South DeKalb Cinema's special
matinee. Otherwise, it's not
worth the normal price. But, for
$1.50 you'll definitely get your
money's worth of relaxed fun
and a gooseye-full of the ever-
attractive Jack Nicholson.

"The Dukes of Hazzard"

By Kenslea Motter

Casting director Stratton P.
Leopold visited Agnes Scott on
October 1 8 to audition actresses
for the part of Daisy in a new
CBS series called "The Dukes of
Hazzard." The series, written
by Gy Waldron, is a cross
between "Moonrunners" and
"Smokey and the Bandits." It is a
broad based comedy with many
stereotype characters. All of the
characters are Southern, and
Daisy even looks like and idolizes
Dolly Parton.

Auditions for the part of Daisy
were held in Georgia because
the director wanted realism in
accent. Ironically, the part was
cast in Hollywood one day before
the Agnes Scott auditions
However, Mr. Leopold explained
that girls would be needed to

play friends of Daisy in at least
two of the episodes, so he went
ahead and let the actresses
audition. Rita Kitts '79, Liz
Steele '81, Susan Dodson '80
and myself all read from a test
scene. The scene was an excerpt
from the first episode called
"One Armed Bandits," in which
Daisy finds herself in jail and
attempts to use her charm on the
half-witted jail attendant Virgil,
in order to secure an escape.

Weather permitting, all
episodes will be filmed in
Covington and Conyers,
Georgia. The shooting is
scheduled to begin November 7,
with the first show airing
sometime in January. Each
hour-long episode should take
about one week to shoot.

All you cocky new girls grab a Halloween mask and come to the Freshmen-Sophomore
"Zoo Party". This icecream party is going to add a bit of zest to your life while the icecream
tantalizes your taste buds! This unforgetable event is taking place on October 31 in the
Alumnae Gardens! Come prepared with squirt guns, a Halloween costume, and a hearty
appetite at 6:30. At 7:30 the cocky new girls are free from the bonds of Agnes Scott and
can walkthe streets of Decatur trick-or-treating! Come prepared Freshmen and times of
your lives!

Dr. Clark was particularly fond of
the educational atmosphere at
Agnes Scott. In his own words:
"I truly believe that the academic
climate here at Agnes Scott is
almost ideal for the student and
the teacher "

Marion Clark was respected
and admired by hisfellowfaculty
members not only for his ability
as a chemist and as a teacher,
but also for his personal traits of
wisdom, honesty, compassion,
good humor, and steadfastness
in upholding the principles to
which he ascribed. He was
open-minded and judicious, but
always adamant about uphold-
ing those principles which he
felt were the foundations of a
good education and personal
integrity.

Each of us who knew Marion
Clark was aware that he was a
loving and caring friend, a
devoted husband and father, and
a Christian man whose every ac-
tion reflected his deep belief in
God. We are grateful for his
presence among us and shall
treasure the legacy he has left to
us.

ing a real application of current
business problems into the
class. Mr. Weber uses a Case
Study derived from a current
financial news article, and
demonstrates all the variables
that the management has to
work with in making decisions
on how to best cope with the
problem at hand. These case
studies involve Computer
Simulation. The computer is in
class with a video screen. A
program is run with all the
variables and one can see what
happens to sales, costs, profits,
budget and allocation. These
case studies are valuable for
graduate school and business,
and the students are able to see
the importance of computer in
marketing.

Kathleen Mooney, director of
CPO, is busy with interviews and

the concept of "lifespan plan-

belonging to a rare species? The
answer is easy. In the past two
years there has been a total of
five music majors; this year
there is a grand total of one. This
is a very small number compared
to the overwhelming number of
majors in such fields as English
and biology. Why should this be?
After all, the music department
possesses many talented,
brilliant, and dedicated instruc-
tors In addition, there are
several talented musicians in
the student body.

Why are there not more music
majors at Agnes Scott? I am
certainly qualified to answer
that question since I am a music
major and I myself was reluctant
to choose music as my major.
There are a number of reasons
that the number of music majors

A shadow program will also be
sponsored with two firms and

The students will be able to work

The Marketing Course is
useful and informative. The

is so small. First, there is at
present not enough publicity
about the music department
reaching prospective students,
and what publicity there is is
shallow. (When I came here as a
prospective student, and asked
the admissions representative
about the music department,
she could tell me no more and
probably less than I could
have read in the catalog.) Many
prospective music majors
become discouraged from
pursuing their interest in music
and further developing their
musical skills by this fact: for a
one hour lesson weekly and the
six required hours of practice
(most music majors practice at
least twice this amount), a
student receives one hpur of
credit per quarter. I realize that

The Agnes Scott tradition of
Investiture will be celebrated
November 4-5.

The Senior Investiture Service
will be held Saturday, November
4, at 10:00 a.m. in Gaines

Pepperdene will speak on the
nature of liberal learning. The
title of her talk is "To judge and

Agnes Scott is not a
conservatory of music, but this is
ridiculousl This quarter I am tak-
ing both flute and piano lessons
(the piano lessons are non-
credit); I spend at least three to
four hours a day practicing, and
for this I receive one hour of
credit?! No wonder the number
of music majors is so small!

It seems to me that the music
department has been neglected
for too long. Just as Presser Hall
stands on the edge of this cam-
pus, so does the plight of the
music department sit on the
edge, if anywhere at all, of the
minds of the leaders of this
school. Some of the proposals I
shall state would not be difficult
to put into effect; others may
pose more of a problem, but are

sideration. First, prospective
students need to be made more
aware of the fine music
department faculty, and also of
any musical scholarships for
which they might be qualified. If
Agnes Scott is able to recruit
more music majors, there is a
possibility that the department
would be able to offer a more
varied selection of courses. This
in turn would attract more music
majors. I also think that
someone should reevaluate the
present policy of giving one hour
credit per quarter for applied
music. Many colleges offer 2
hours credit for applied music. If
you were planning to major in
music, would you go to a school
where music was considered
more of a hobby than a serious
subject? Linda Moore

Summer in Norway
Offered by Rotary

By Jan Smith

The Rotarians of Georgia for
thirty years have sponsored a
scholarship program designed to
bring interested students to
Georgia Colleges. This project is
known as the Georgia Rotary
Student Program and is separate
from other Rotary activities.

'The world has a host of
natural resources in our college
youth," stated Paul McCain,
Vice-President for Development
at Agnes Scott. Dr. McCain went
on to say that students need to
be utilized as good will am-
bassadors.

Agnes Scott has four students
on the Georgia Rotary Program.
There are 45 or 50 students in
Georgia colleges and
universities. The scholarship
fund pays a portion of the

students' tuition and at Agnes
Scott the school assumes the
remainder of the expense.

The Rotarians in Norway are
making a scholarship available
to students enrolled in Georgia
colleges . The winner will receive
a six weeks summer stay in Oslo,
Norway. To be considered for the
Norway scholarship an applicant
must be approved by a selection
committee. An intelligent,
competitive, outgoing, involved
student would meet the criteria
of this committee. Recommen-
dations of students and alumni
will also be considered.

Dr. McCain can be contacted
for additional information
concerning the Rotary Program.
Applications, however, will not
be available until after the
Christmas holidays.

29, following a brief illness in
Athens, Georgia. He was born
April 2, 1 891 , in Jasper County,
Ga. He was a graduate of the
University of Georgia class of
1912. After two years of
teaching, he entered
educational publishing with
American Book Company and
later with D. C. Heath & Com-
pany in Atlanta. In 1928, Mr.
Perry was transferred to Boston,
Mass., where he became
successively Treasurer,
President, and Chairman of the
Board of D. C. Heath & Company.

For 30 years he resided in the

fairs. In 1951-52, he was
President of American Textbook
Publishers Institute. He is listed
in Who's Who in America.

During World War I, Mr. Perry

He was a member of the First
United Methodist Church of
Athens, the Kappa Sigma
fraternity, the Sphinx Club, the
Gridiron Club, the Phi Kappa Phi
honor society, and was a trustee
of the University of Georgia
Foundation. In 1961 and 1962,
he was President of the
University of Georgia Alumni
Society and in 1 963 he received
the Alumni Merit Award from
the University of Georgia.

In 1917, Mr. Perry married
Elizabeth Gray of Richmond, Va.
They had two sons, Dr. Marvin B.
Perry, Jr., president of Agnes
Scott College, and John M.

Students Give Opinions on Doulton China

By Betsy Broadwell

On Thursday, October 26, the
staff of the Silhouette held a
china survey in Rebekah Recep-
tion Room. The survey was a
fund raising project. The
Silhouette received one dollar
for each survey completed by an
Agnes Scott student. The survey
sheets asked for personal
preferences on stoneware, fine
china and various cup shapes.

Mr. John E. Murphy, Vice
President of Planning and
Research, was here Thursday to

represent the Royal Doulton
China Company. The company is
British-owned and the purpose
of the survey is to let the
designers know what American
women prefer. The Royal
Doulton Company has been
visiting Agnes Scott for fifteen
years. They feel that it is wiser to
conduct their survey at an
independent college because
the cross section of women
surveyed is wider than it would
be at a state school.

The china survey and other
fund raising projects are set up

through the Dean of Students
Off ice. Any organization on cam-
pus may sign up for such a pro-
ject. The policy is generally first
come, first served.

The china display was
beautiful and a success for the
Royal Doulton Company as well
as the Silhouette staff. One
wonders, however, why a china
survey was such a hit at Agnes
Scott. Could it be that the MRS.
degree takes precedence over
the BA degree? Just kidding
fans, the china was lovely.

Sandra Sews Suits for Scott

CA Reaches Out to Students

Lastyear Sandra Eichelburger
was presented the Kimmell
Award. This is an award given to
the person who has proved
herself most valuable in theatre
for that year. Sandra has labored
for as many as forty hours a
week designing and sewing cos-
tumes for Agnes Scott theatrical
performances. She has
designed "Three Sisters, "*
"Mary of Scotland," "Suor
Angelica," "Everyman Today"
and is currently working on cos-
tumes for the Blackfriar's fall

production, "Ladyhouse Blues."

Prior to designing the cos-
tumes she does a large amount
of research concerning the
characters and the period in
which they lived. She carefully
chooses colors which are suited
for the personalities of the
characters, as well as the mood
of the play and the technical
aspects, such as lights and
scenery. She makes many of her
own patterns and does most of
the sewing herself, with the aid
of lab assistants.

Sandra explained that when
she gets frustrated, she goes
upstairs to the costume room

A Third Political Party?

Editorial

One of the multiple benefits of editing a college newspaper is the
guarantee that daily your mailbox will be exploding with mail. An in-
credible selection of advertisements, news releases and information
packets arrive. The topics range from new methods of birth control to
news releases entitled "What is a clamatoe?"

The most interesting reading selections are the newspapers that I
receive from other colleges and universities from across the nation.
It is always comforting to read that all of these institutes of learning
have to face the same problems that we think are unique to Agnes
Scott.

In one of the past issues of the Oxford College's Spokesman, there
appeared an article about a new program that the school was initiat-
ing in order to stimulate student-faculty conversation. The course
centers on selected readings and subsequent discussions between
faculty and students.

This program, initiated to stimulate student faculty interaction, is
called Oxford Studies. Unlike other courses, it can be taken as often
as the student desires. A letter grade is given at the termination of
the quarter as well as one hour of credit. The grades are determined
by a multiple choice exam that is given sometimeduring the quarter.
The passing grade is a C and the failing grade is an F.

The student who wishes to raise his grade can do so by attending
scheduled events, reading a paperback book for another class, or
writing an essay on a suggested theme. Thebooktitles are chosen by
a student committee.

In the past there has been a great deal of noise on this camDus
about the lack of involvement of the students and facu Ity . One needs
to attend only one campus sponsored activity (such as lectures and
concerts) to perceive the lack of attendance. Last week there were
forty-two in the audience at the Steve Hall Mini Concert.

There is a definite needfora potent remedy tothe problem of unin-
volvement on this campus. It may be a bit foolish to suggest that the
administration here would consider doling out credits for the cam-
pus participation that is expected of us, but the merits of such a
program are obvious.

Until the day comes that such a program is initiated or until the day
comes that we are motivated by some extraterrestrial force,
speakers and artists will be faced with very limited audiences

DETROIT, Ml. (CPS)
Representatives of over 100
labor, community and political
organizations have agreed to
establish a "coalition of
coalitions" by mid-November
to counter organized right-
wing activity, and to pressure
the Democratic Party to its
stated platform.

Some 200 representatives of
groups ranging from the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union to the Sierra
Club have authorized United
Auto Workers Union president
Douglas Fraser to set up two
commissions to work out details
of the new coalition. The com-
missions are expected to meet in
mid-November and the official
announcement of the group's
formation and name will be
made then.

The coalition was agreed on
last month (October) at a Detroit
meeting called by Fraser who
said in his invitation, "The time
has come ... for a vigorous
counterattack against the right-
wing corporate forces and the
political system they dominate."

Organizations attending the
one-day conference included 31
labor unions, and over 70 groups
active in such diverse areas as
civil rights, women's rights, en-
vironmental issues, social ac-
tion, consumer rights, health
care, housing, tax reform, urban
problems, economics, senior
citizens' rights, energy reform,
education, rights of small
farmers, and protection for the
handicapped.

The assortment of liberal,
progressive, and socialist
organizations at times seemed
skeptical of the prospect of work-
ing together. But when the time
came for a vote, there was
unanimous support for Fraser's
proposal.

Several college-based groups
also attended, including the
American Federation of
Teachers, National Education
Association, American As-
sociation of University Profes-
sors, and the newly-formed
United States Student As-

sociation the result of the
merger between the National
Student Association and
National Student Lobby.

The coalition's two priorities
will be "an effort to develop and
pursue new approaches to the
social and economic needs of
the people," and "an effortto im-
prove the functioning of the
American political system and
our political parties."
DEMOCRAT'S 1 976 PLATFORM
"HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED"

In reality, the second priority is
an attempt to pressure the
Democratic Party: "The strategy
we propose," said Fraser, "aims
to make the Democratic Party in
fact what in principle it has
proclaimed itself to be since the
New Deal a progressive party
struggling against the reac-
tionary capitalist money power
of the Republicans to transform
America into a fair and decent
society."

Although there is a strong
Democratic Congress, and a
Democrat in the White House,
many conference speakers
observed that much of the
progressive legislation proposed
in the 1976 Democratic Party
platform has been killed, diluted
or ignored by Congress. "You
don't need a new platform in
1980," said the representative
from Americans for Democratic
Action, "because the 1976 one
hasn't been touched."

In several cases, notably labor
law reform and the energy bill,

defeat came at the hands of a
well-organized and well-
financed right-wing lobbying
drive that reached both sides of
the Congressional aisle,
conferees claimed. This break-
down in Democratic Party dis-
cipline led many conference
attendees to suggest that the
Democratic Party was, as

Putting Cheerleaders
to Work

(CPS) In recent times, the
various pro football teams
across the country have come
under fire for the "cleavage
shows" they put on in addition to
the Sunday afternoon battles.
There seems to be more
coverups on the football field
lately than during the Watergate
era.

C W. Stanley, the acting direc-
tor of NFLadies, Inc., has come
up with a way for women to
show their athletic prowess on,
or rather, above the playing field,
and actually participate in put-
ting points on the scoreboard

Stanley's idea would place the
"queen receiver," as he calls the
new player, on an elevated plat-
form above and behind the
goalposts at either end of the
field Surrounding her would be

a target hoop (which players use
to practice accuracy in throwing
and kicking).

If the queen catches the ball
on an extra point of field goal
attempt, and then puts the ball
through the hoop, points would
be awarded. Points would also
be scored though, if the kicked
ball wentthrough the hoopon its
own, without the queen's aid.

Allowing for the inactivity
near the end zones in many
games, Stanley suggests the
queen receiver could double as
an entertainer when the action
is near the center of the field.
She'd be "adding personality,
pizazz, entertainment, public
relations, fun, and spirit to the
football scene."

Stanley adds that the receiver
would only need two great
hands and a head for heights.

"Perseverence Conquers AIT 7 - Even In 1899 Epicurean's Delight

By Wendy Brooks

In 1897 the Silhouette was
nonexistent. The Agnes Scott
Institute's yearbook was the
Aurora. The fly page reads:

offers four courses:
Scientific, Literary, Classical and

(What normal was, I still haven't

The yearbook Aurora was
conceived in the minds of
students yearning for something
new. They claimed "the routine
of school life becomes unen-
durably monotonous. We need
some point of common interest
to arouse the girls from this
selfish indifference of theirs,
and to draw them closer
together." The major objections
to their plan was that they
"would never pay expenses"
and "Southern girls have never
done it that I have heard of." But
as the followers of the motto of

which was a very small percent
of the hundreds of students who
had attended the school. At first
it seemed that, besides the many
other things necessary for
graduation, the name "Mary"
was also a requisite, for the first
two graduating classes were
composed entirely of Marys.

school girl habits of eating

at least they had the problem of

the Saturday night German in

tried diligently to find what a
"German" was, but to no avail.
Apparently it was a social with
some males of good breeding

11 a m -7:30 p.m.; closed on
Sunday; Dress-casual.

The Park is another es-
tablishment owned and
operated by the Peasant group
(Pleasant Peasant, The Public
House, and Peasant Uptown
also located in Phipps Plaza)
which always seems to insure
quality food and reasonable
prices. It is a cafeteria-style res-
taurant that serves soups,
salads and sandwiches.

The salad bar is different from
most in town because the salad
is priced by the ounce, which I
think is a welcome change. That
way you can get as much or as
little as you desire and pay ac-
cordingly. The lettuce is always
fresh and some of the toppings
include cherry tomatoes, green
peppers, radishes, bean sprouts
and mushrooms. (What a nice
change.) They also have fresh
bacon bits and croutons if you
like and a choice of four dres-
sings.

Next in line are the soups. The
Park always features 3 soups
and the selection includes such
goodies as mushroom-barley,
chili, and cream of broccoli or
spinach. I have tried about six
different soups and they are
always excellent. If you are a
fresh, homemade soup freak like
me, you can't go wrong here.
They serve the soup in 2
different size bowls and they are
priced from about $.90 to $ 1 .50
depending on the soup.

Continuing down the line is

With all the debate about
parietals, who knows exactly
what parietals are? Abbott's
Ready Reference Dictionary
defines parietals as "pertaining
to a wall; pertaining to the walls
of a cavity of the body."
Websters Second College
Edition of the New World Dic-
tionary also says "of or having to
do with life within a college" and
"attached to the wall of the
ovary, as in the placenta of some
plants." With these definitions,
how did anyone ever come up
with the notion of applying
"parietals" to men visiting in
women's rooms?

salad and various others. The
sandwich choices change as do
the soups. One really nice
feature they have is that you can
order 1/2 sandwiches. All of
them are made fresh when you
order them and the prices vary
between about $.95 for a 1/2
sandwich to $1.80 for a whole
one (depending on the kind you
choose).

Desserts come next and I hate
to disappoint anyone but that is
not my favorite area. I usually
forego desserts so I cannot
comment on thequality, butthey
usually offer things like cheese
cake, German chocolate cake,
pound cake, jumbo chocolate
chip cookies and frozen yogurt.

In the beverage section they
offer tea, milk, soft drinks, beer
and wine.

On our most recent trip to The
Park I had a medium-small salad
and a small bowl of mushroom-
barley soup with crackers and
butter and iced tea. Harry got a
small bowl of the same soup and
half of a ham and Swiss cheese
sandwich and a Coke. It was a
light but satisfying and delicious
dinner for about $5.

I th ink The Park is a great place
to stop during a shopping spree
at Lenox or Phipps or before a
movie in the area. I am a con-
firmed soup and salad freak so I
think it's always a good time to
go there. You can get in and out
quickly or sit and chat and rest
your weary feet. During the meal
time rush hours, especially on
Saturday lunch hours, this place
can be very crowded, so either
plan to stand in line or go a little
early or late. The food is always
fresh, very good and definitely
worth a try.

If parietal is divided into parts,
maybe another twist can be
added: PAR-this is to be
interpreted as parents-
remember when a man is in your
room, to behave as your parents
taught you; l-do as "I want, I'm a
big girl, etc."; TAL-hope the
goody-good next door doesn't
turn a nap into an orgy and
decides to "tell" and try to make
it an honor code violation. Just
consider the "E" an extra letter
added to make the whole world
easier to say. Maybe someone
thought, (since we are sup-
posedly intelligent women) we
will use our pariental lobe "up
there" to govern our behavior

Opinion Poll: Does Your Room Match?

that most of the people surveyed

Means, and many other
delegates were frustrated by
Fraser's call for remaining inside
the current party structure Their
logic is nothing new; both
conservative Republicans and
liberal Democrats have long
complained that the two major
parties were so ideologically
similar that voters had little real
choice presented to them.

reactionaries and their
idealogues for the first time in
years have taken the momentum
from progressives in the arena of
ideas," said Fraser.

"Power remains with
America's elite and not with its
people," Fraser charged. "Time
and again in recent months we
have seen that power exercised
against workers, the poor,
minorities and women, young
and old, and even the middle
class in our country. America to-
day functions by a set of rules
virtually guaranteed to result in
a now too familiar outcome - -
the "haves" take more, and
"have-nots" get less. Those
rules must change and we must
develop a strategy to change
them," he concluded.

AFTER B.C.

(not meaning A D )

Fall is a wonderful time of the year.
As mid-terms and finals start looming near,
Freshmen have finally been orientated,
Into a world they have long awaited.
Sophomores have succeeded with their guess,
They should have; they made quite a mess!
Peppermint Patty has really arrived,
And the Freshmen Class has showed they're alive,
Juniors surely did their best.
By producing a play that needs no attest.
The bonfire and songs were so much fun,
No we're all sad the suspense is done.
Seniors, you're walking your final mile,
And we all know "the" Cricket's going out in style!

Buttrick Interior Nears Completion

by Lecie Weston

Many of the students at Agnes
Scott are not aware of the
excellent facilities offered in our
Bradley Observatory, which is
unique for undergraduate
colleges and universities in the
southeast. The observatory is
located directly across from the
tennis courts. It is utilized mainly
for the astronomy classes and it
is the host observatory for the
Atlanta Astronomy Club. The
facilities include a lecture room,
photography laboratories, a
small but extremely adequate
planetarium, and the 30-inch
Beck Telescope.

Rennovations are underway
at the observatory under the
direction of Professor Robert S.
Hyde and Mr. Julius Staal.
Professor Hyde is new to Agnes
Scott, coming from
Pennsylvania State University
where he taught astronomy
classes for several years. Mr
Staal, our planetarium director,
recently retired from the position
of planetarium director at the
Fernbank Science Center in

Atlanta. Professor Hyde and Mr.
Staal have been diligently work-
ing on the rennovations in the
planetarium which are expected
to be completed by the end of the
fall quarter.

In previous years, lectures and
open-house programs have
been offered at the observatory
in an effort to increase the
awareness and knowledge of
this superior facility. Professor
Hyde and Mr. Staal may have
many innovative ideas that
hopefully will interest not only
the astronomy students, but the
entire college community. Dur-
ing Prospective Students
Weekend, November 9-11, the
prospective students were
given the opportunity to visit the
observatory. Open house
evenings for faculty and
students are currently being
planned. These special
programs have been planned in
order to point out that the
observatory is a place of interest
to the whole college.

As you stumble along the
crumbling brick wall, steeling
yourself for the four floor climb
to your 8:30 French class in
Campbell Hall, you are
wrenched from your stupor by a
crash, a roar, and a great cloud of
dust as trash tumbles down the
shiny metal chute into the huge
bin to be hauled away later by
large rumbling trucks. Do you
often wonder if Buttrick Hall will
ever be inhabitable again?

Hang on, Scotties. We're
"over the hump" now, as far as
construction goes. Mr. Lee A.
Barclay, Vice-President for
Business Affairs, stated in a
recent interview that the date of
Buttrick's completion hinges on
when the new elevator arrives.

"If it is installed in January,
then Buttrick can open in
February," Barclay said.
However, if the elevator is late,
completion will be delayed ac-
cordingly.

There has been good reason
for the constant racket around
the campus this fall. The
construction workers have been

Survey: How Often Do You Cut?

After this week's random
survey on classes, Working For
Awareness found that an
overwhelming number of
students prefer 50 minute
classes; although the particular
subject often made some

differences. When asked how
many classes a student didn't

attend in a week, 70% replied

that they never cut a class. 27%
said they cut one or two. Only 3%
cut three or more per week. The

last question was whether or not
a class at 8:30 a.m. or one in the
late afternoon was avoided
because of the time at which it
was scheduled. The majority of
votes indicated that it made no
difference.

moving walls and lowering
ceilings (which will still be about
ten feet high). They have also
installed completely new
heating, air conditioning,
lighting, and electrical systems
in Buttrick. In fact, that grey con-
crete "box" behind the building
houses the fans for the new cen-
tral air conditioning.

Other changes inside Buttrick
include increased classroom
space, more offices for the
faculty, a new elevator, wall-to-

wall carpeting in the corridors
and offices, an audio-visual
room, and a small auditorium.

The old elevator was elec-
trically powered and the new
one will be hydraulic, said
Barclay. A shaft must be drilled
for the hydraulic pump as far
down in the ground as the
elevator goes up in the building.
Boring down through forty feet

so long.

Saturday Parietals Passed

At the October 31 meeting of
Rep Council, Lil Easterlin began
discussion on RC 172, which
proposes that the parietal policy
be amended to read that male
guests be allowed in the dorm
rooms on Saturday afternoons*
from 1:00 until 5.00 in ad-
dition to Sunday hours. The
motion called for the change had
already been made at the
previous meeting on Oct. 24.

The proposal came about as a
result of a survey taken on cam-
pus earlier this quarter. The
survey gave students the op-
portunity to voice opinion on the
matter of parietals. SGA felt that
there was ample opportunity
given on the survey to express
any feelings students may have
on parietals and any changes
they feel are needed.

Students were welcomed at
the meeting on Tuesday and
open discussion of the proposed

amendment was encouraged as
well. After discussion involving
questions of invasions of
privacy, out of town guest
problems, parietal violations and
actual use of parietals, the vote
was taken and the amendment
passed.

For those students who res-
ponded negatively to parietals
on the survey and at the
meeting, Tish DuPont noted that
the amendment may be res-
cinded by a majority of the
student body. A petition signed
by fifty students is necessary to
call a meeting of the student
body. Then, provided that a
quorum is present, a two-thirds
majority vote is required to res-
cind the amendment.

The amendment will now go
through the necessary channels
and the student body will be
notified as to the outcome as
soon as possible.

New Greeks Honored

by Wendy Brooks

Eta Sigma Phi recently
initiated its new members. For
those of you who might be
wondering, this is not a new
fraternity at Tech, but one of the
oldest fraternities at Scott.

HE0 is the National Honorary
Classical Undergraduate
Fraternity. It was formed in
1914, and ASC received its
charter for the year 1931-32.
Membership requirements are
based on scholastic excellence
and an avid interest in classical
studies.

Miss Cabisius, sponsor for the
ASC chapter, held the initiation

at her home. It was a quite
unusual and enjoyable
"dessert". The money for the
food was given by the Dean 's Of-
fice, and the members feasted
on German mocha cake, almond
cakes, cream puffs, and carrot^
cake. Mr. Taggert was also in
attendance, and added much to
the festivities.

The new members are Alex
Gonsalves, Sarah Toms, Cindy
Hampton, Becky Dayton, Han-
nah Griffith, Carol Chapman,
Wendy Brooks, Diane Shaw,
Lisa Wilson, and Elizabeth
Dorsey.

An excellent time was had by
all. Virgil would have approved.

Editorial

On October the 31st Rep. Council discussed the proposition that
the existing parietal policy be extended to Saturdays. The hours
would be from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. The amendment was passed. Now,
it seems that there are several students on campus who have
expressed a vehement disapproval of the amendment. These
students are petitioning Rep. Council's vote indicating that they do
not think this vote was an accurate reflection of the majority of the
student body. It must be noted that petition does not state that the
undersigned think that the majority was not represented. The
petition states that the undersigned wish to "revoke" the
amendment. "The undersigned wish tocall a meeting of the Student
Government Association of ASC (student body meeting) in order to
revoke R.C. #172 dealing with the parietal extension to Saturday
afternoon.

In order to discover the reasons for the desire to rescind the
amendment I called one of the petitioners. She told me that she was
not sure what it was all about, "but she signed it anyway." I finally
found Krista Walter who said that she would be a spokesperson for
the group.

She said that the petition was drawn up explicitly because the ma-
jority of the student body was not represented by the vote. I pointed
out to her that the petition also explicitly voices the desire to rescind
the amendment. She agreed with this.

Her first point was that only 214 students replied to the Student
Government's survey about the proposed amendment. She cited
that out of this number only 105 students wished to increase the
hours of male visitation, whereas one hundred and nine students
wished that the hours remain the same or be decreased. It is
curious that the students who are violently opposed to this policy, if
they are indeed the actual majority, did not appear at the October
31 st meeting to prevent the passage of the amendment. But Krista
stated that they were not aware of the meeting. Since they did not
attend and the amendment passed, these students have obtained
the necessary fifty signatures to call a quorum of the student body,
and hope to obtain a majority to rescind the amendment.

It is obvious that the desire to rescind theamendment is notbased
on the lack of a majority; the desire to change the amendment is
based on the disapproval of the amendment itself and the "im-
plications" of the amendment.

The first point that we discussed was that of "privacy." I felt that
since visitors that do not belong to us can't come into our rooms
without an invitation, then we could achieve this needed privacy by
simply closing our doors. Krista felt that "our" territory could not be
delineated that easily "My Daddy didn't just pay for my eight by ten,
he paid for my use of the whole school." Then the example of the em-
barrassment that would occur if one was caught in one's bathrobe in
the hall was brought up. I feel compelled to say that I have never seen
anyone at the beach or at a swimming pool whose swimming cos-
tume was more modest than their bathrobe. These encounters can-
not be avoided due to the fact that in order to have access to your
room you need to have access to the hall.

Quite obviously there is another facet to this disapproval of the
amendment. This facet is one that has inflamed a lot of students on
this campus in the past, i.e., moral legislation. When I questioned
Krista about the religious connotations involved she replied that she
did not like the word "religious" but preferred just the use of the
word convictions." This was the heart of the matter The opposition
group does not want to see the initiation or the supplementation of
an immoral atmosphere on this campus. It is felt that male guests
can be a temptation when visiting in rooms that have a bedroom at-
mosphere." Trying to avoid crudity, I suggested that this
"temptation can occur in other places besides bedrooms

So, it all boils down to whether or not Cain is required to look after
Abel or not And, are we here to learn about what is and isn't or are
we here to learn about what ought and what ought not to be?
Answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated

Boy, Was I Flattered

By Emily Moore

There is a small group of
women at Agnes Scott, a very
small group, who have com-
plained about their lack of a
social life until they are blue, or
should I say black, in the face.
This group is none other than the
black students, who, upon those
occasions when they dare to
venture out intothe "real world"
are forced to answer the ques-
tion: Agnes Scott . . who is she?

Well folks, those days are
drawing to a wonderful close.
Black women at Agnes Scott are

finally becoming world
renowned or better still,
"Georgia Tech and Emory
University" renowned.

Recently, the Alpha Phi Alpha
fraternity of Emory requested
that the black students of Agnes
Scott become their sisters and

their fraternity duties. This af-
filiation makes interested black
Scotties, officially, "Les
Alphettes. " One of us (ASC black
students) may even become
"Miss Black & Gold," queen of
Alpha Phi Alpha. Wow!

Now. Georgia Tech. As many

of you are aware, most black
Scotties, not all, but most, were
escorted to Black Cat by
members of the Omega Psi Phi
fraternity, lovingly called the
Q's, from Georgia Tech. Many of
the Q's have become quite at-
tached to us. In fact, one of them,
upon learning that the Emory.
Alpha's had visited this campus,
expressed some disapproval.
Maybe his sentiments are not
those of the entire fraternity,
but, boy, was I flattered when he
said: The Alpha's, here! Don't
ya'll know that this is "Q"
territory."

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,

I am writing to you because I
do not know where else to turn I
have been at ASC for two and a
half years and in the course of
time I have griped about how
things are run to my peers, but it
has gotten to the point where
something must be done.

I had a Bible test at oneo'clock
so I got up early for breakfast and
was joined by two hall mates.
We were in the dining hall at
seven thirty. Breakfast was fried
eggs, (Yes, again) and sweet
rolls. Once again there was no
meat, the sweet rolls were far
from fresh and both the eggs and
the rolls were cold. Had I gotten
to breakfast at eight forty-five
and the food had been cold, I
could understand, but at seven-
thirty? (I have been in the kitchen
as early as four o'clock in the
afternoon and the evening meal
was already prepared and set-
ting out in the back kitchen.

After five people verbalized
their disgust with breakfast, I
went to the back and spoke to
one of the supervisors. She, too,

Update on the Student Life
Committee:

The Student Life Committee, a
branch of Student Government,
investigated the need of smoke
detectors in the newer dorms
(i.e., Walters, Winship and Hop-
kins) We found that the Fire
Department checks this campus
every year for fire hazards Many
of the dorm rules are mainly for
fire protection such as, no pop-
corn poppers in the hall, etc. The
Fire Department even uses the
campus for practice on mock fire
runs during the summer We
have received information on
smoke detectors and have
passed it on to Mr Black, Direc-
tor of the Physical Plant. Mr.
Black, with the assistance of the
fire department, will decide if the
smoke detectors are really
necessary The administration is
concerned about our safety and
has made sure that our dorms
are safe

P S The sprinkler system does
work, just ask Mr Osburn. his

was concerned and had spoken
to "the one in charge," but noth-
ing had been done.

Breakfast was bad enough but
when I returned to my dorm at
8:12 a.m. there were men
hammering just below my room.
Afternoons I can understand,
but eight-twelve on a Tuesday
morning when many people do
not have classes until ten-thirty
or noon!? It's a damn good thing
that I was already awake. I came .
to ASC not to gripe but to learn,
but when conditions get to the
point where meals and
maintenance interfere with my
learning I will gripe. I can't
survive on cereal, toast and

Dear "Jiminy,"

This letter is in response to
your October 30th letter
concerning the $25 senior fee.

To answer your first question,
"Why is it that each member of
the senior class must pay an ad-
ditional twenty-five dollars for
graduation gowns, caps,
diplomas, etc. ..?,"{ talked to Mr
Lee Barclay, Vice-President for
Business Affairs He replied that
historically this fee has been
paid at Agnes Scott and that the
collection of a senior fee is com-

mon practice among many
colleges and universities. He
explained that this fee is not
unlike the student activity fee
that we pay each year the cost
of caps, gowns, hoods, and
diplomas must be covered in
some way. In looking through
numerous college and university
catalogues, I discovered that a
large number of institutions
listed a senior fee. (Most of these
institutions also listed many
other special fees that Agnes
Scott does not have.) The senior
fee at these places ranged from
$10-$25.

Our fee of $25 covers the
following items: rental of
bachelor caps, gowns, and white
collars ($4.75), rental of
bachelor hoods ($5.00), extra for
long rental ($2 50), purchase of
tassel ($1.10) to equal $13 35,
plus shipping costs at the end of
the year. Lea Ann Grimes,
Registrar, is working on secur-
ing bids for diplomas. She an-
ticipates the diploma cost to be
approximately $7. This year the
fees for these items have been
combined into one senior fee to
be paid in the fall. In previous
years seniors paid a cap and
gown fee in the fall and were
billed for the diploma (ap-
proximately $10) in the spring.

In Days Gone By...

The Train to Freedom

by Kathryn Peterson

"Little Girls' Day" is Friday.
This is the day when the seniors
say farewell to childhood days
and are tantrum-throwing little
girls probably for the last time in
their lives. About 80 little girls
wearing pinafores and pigtails,
carrying lollipops and baby dolls,
and armed with water pistols,
will eat breakfast together, and
there act as children generally
do.

Little Girls' Day is an annual
tradition at Agnes Scott. It
precedes Investiture, when the
little girls march to seniorhood
and receive the rights and
privileges awarded for three
years' work. It was started by the
class of 1907 and has been
observed every year since then
with the exception of one year.

The (Louise McKinney Book)
award was first offered in 1 931 .
The project was modeled on a
similar experiment at
Swarthmore College. It was
named the Richard de Bury
award for the first English
author to write about the jobs of
reading. The name was soon
changed, however, to the Louise
McKinney Book award in honor
of the English professor who in
the hearts of many students
aroused such a love of books that
it continued to be a joy all their
lives

decided to find out how this

keeps the Hottentot sportsters
so enthusiastic during fall

was ably demonstrated for us
last week by Mrs. Kitty Dubois at
our hockey clinic.

Epicurean's Delight

by Penny Rush Wistrand

Houston's - 3321 Lenox
Road, Atlanta (across from
Lenox Square), 237-7534 Sun-
day-Thursday 1 1 :30a.m. - 1 1 00
p.m., Friday-Saturday 11.30
a.m. through midnight. Dress is
casual.

After opening in late August,
Houston's (pronounced like the
city in Texas) has enjoyed
immediate success. Many new
restaurants are not as lucky, but
I'm sure the location, next to
Lenox Square, has a lot to do
with it. Another reason is good
food at the right price.

We have visited Houston's on
several occasions and have
always enjoyed it. The at-
mosphere is nice with cozy
booths and tables on different
levels. The entrance has a big
fireplace and plenty of room to
stand while waiting or, weather
permitting, you can wait outside
on benches provided. A third
waiting area is the bar where
they serve mixed drinks and beer
and have a television for viewing
sports events.

On my first visit there were
nine persons in our party. The
service was less than superb but
it was just a couple of weeks
after opening and a busy Friday
night. On our subsequent visits
the service has been prompt and
very friendly.

In all we have tried quite a few

of their goodies. A couple of
times I have had the Soup and
Salad ($2.65). Once I had the
salad with a tangy mustard-
honey dressing and the other
time I had the Roquefort cheese
dressing and both were good.
Each time I've checked the soup
du jour (served alone is $1 .25)
has been a thick cheese soup
that is a combination of 2 or 3
cheeses with some spice. I en-
joyed the change (from the usual
onion soup, gazpacho, etc.
syndrome) and found the soup
delicious and filling. Their baked
potatoes are unique in that they
are brushed with butter and
rolled in rock salt - delicious! The
Tortilla Flat has a layer of chili in
the bottom of a large bowl and it
is topped with lettuce, tomato,
onion, cheese anfl avocado
(tortilla chips are served on the
side). Harry has had two of their
burgers. The Down Home
Burger ($2.85) is your basic
large cheeseburger with all the
trimmings. The Texas Burger
($3) is topped with chili, cheese
and onjon and served with
nacho chips. Bacon on the
burgers is 25C extra. Most of the
burgers are served with a cup
size serving of baked beans
which Harry described as
"disappointing" but he loved the
hamburgers anyway.

"Midnight Express", based on
the true story of a young
American incarcerated in a
Turkish prison, isone of the most
explosive films ever made. Its
violence, its pathos, and the
desperation of its characters are
all reminiscent of "Papillon."
However, it cannot be said that
the story of Billy Hayes is simply
an updated version of Henri
Charriere's experiences in a
New Guinea prison. Both are
true stories, but "Midnight
Express" is not true only to Billy
Hayes, it is true to scores of
American youths who are
trapped and rotting in foreign
prisons at this very moment. The
implications of "Midnight
Express'' are far more
immediate and profound than
any sensationalist "escape from
prison" film could ever be.

In 1970, 23 year old Billy
Hayes, a Marquette University
senior from Long Island, N.Y.,
was arrested for attempting to

smuggle two kilos of hashish out
of the airport in Istanbul, Turkey.
He was sentenced to four years
in prison for possession of illegal
drugs. With only 53 days of his
sentence left to serve, a Turkish
court changed Hayes' charges
from possession to smuggling,
and increased his sentence to
thirty years - the longest
sentence imposed upon an
American in a foreign country at
that time. Despite the efforts of
family, friends, lawyers and
American officials to have him
transferred to an American
prison, Hayes soon realized that
he would never be released
unless he depended only upon
himself and his own resources.
He made plans to catch the
"midnight express" (prison
jargon for escape). On the night
of October 4, 1975, Hayes es-
caped across the Turkish border
into Greece. Today he is a free
man .

"Midnight Express" is the film
version of the book, by the same

name, .written by Billy Hayes
with William Hoffer. With
extraordinary skill and power, it
chronicles Hayes' five-year
ordeal under the appalling con-
ditions of the Sagmacilar prison
in Istanbul. Filmed on location in
Malta, its scenes are gripping
and beautifully executed.

The film has received a great
deal of criticism because, not
only does it depart from the ac-
tual sequences of events in the
book, but also because it
allegedly attempts to sen-
sationalize Hayes' experiences
by fabricating a number of
events that did not actually oc-
cur. These include two very
violent scenes, one in which
Hayes (played by Brad Davis)
bites out the tongue of a conspir-
ing fellow prisoner, and another
in which he murders a guard.
Hayes, who was in Atlanta orl
October 30 on a promotional
tour for the film, quickly came to
the defense of director Alan

Your second question,
concerning the college purchase
of gowns, is not a new sugges-
tion, nor hasthispossibility been
ignored or forgotten. But, in
reaching the decision to
purchase these items, we must
consider several things: To buy
enough graduation outfits (caps,
gowns, and hoods) for the senior
class would be a substantial
investment. To buy these items
for the entire class (plus extras to
ensure that everyone has a cap
and gown thatfits) would involve
almost $7,000, if we assume
that the college buys 1 50 outfits
for $45 each. Also, if the college
does decide to purchase caps

and gowns in the future, it must
absorb replacement costs and
dry-cleaning costs. Therefore, in
all likelihood, there would still be
a senior fee, and for the first few
years, it would probably be com-
parable to the present fee.
However, the purchase of these
items may be a feasible project
for the future. In any event, this
idea warrants careful con-
sideration.

I hope that this letter has
answered any questions you
might have had about the senior
fee. If you have any additional
questions or comments, please
contact me.

scenes were necessary in order
to dramatize the intense anger
and violence that he felt towards
those particular people. At
times, he said, "I wanted to kill.''

The film's homosexual
overtones have also been under
attack. However, the only
"graphic'' scene, if it can even be
called that, was so tastefully
done that it cannot be called a
"sex" scene. Instead, it shows
two people attempting to find
love and wamrth in the cold,
hateful surroundings of the

Brad Davis, who began his
acting career in community
theatres in Atlanta, has done an
excellent job of portraying
Hayes. When Hayes visited the
set in Malta, he was
overwhelmed by Davis' intense
concentration on the role. When
the rest of the cast was taking a
break, he said, "Davis was still in
prison He was in prison the en-
tire time " Davis' efforts were
obviously successful in this truly
spectacular performance.

International Carols Sung at Concert Composition Contest

Sponsored by Glee Club

Christmas carols from around
the world filled the hall at the
Agnes Scott College Glee Club
concert Sunday, Dec. 3. The
Glee Club and the Agnes Scott
Madrigal Singers presented an
international Christmas concert
at 7:30 p.m. in Presser Hall.

Directed by Dr Theodore K
Mathews, the Glee Club sang
traditional Christmas carols
from countries including, among
others, England, Spam, Poland,
Russia and Japan. The all-
female chorus also performed a
set of American popular
Christmas songs such as "It's
the Most Wonderful Time of the
Year "

The eight-member Madrigal
Singers performed in four-part
harmony with and without
instrumental accompaniment.
They sang, among other songs,
the spiritual "Mary Had A Boy
Child," featuring as a soloist
Madrigal member Bonnie
Brooks, a freshman from Atlan
ta.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club,
under the baton of Dr Mathews,
has performed with the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra and has
given invitational performances

Glee Club officers, from left to right, Mary Anne Gannon,
secretary; Mary Ann Keon, vice president for publicity; Kathy
Zarkowsky, president; Carol Gorgus, vice president for
membership; Peggy Emrey, vice president for concerts; are

Atlanta Memorial Arts Center
and the Governor's Mansion
The veteran of two European

The chorus has been guest con-
ducted by renowned choral con-
ductors Robert Shaw, musical
director of the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra, and
Gregg Smith, Grammy Award
winning authority on modern
choral music.

At Agnes Scott, the Glee Club
and the Madrigal Singers
perform two major concerts a
year as well as performing at
Atlanta area churches. The
Madrigal Singers also perform in
the Atlanta area for civic groups
and schools. Besides the college
and church concerts, the Glee

Colloquium Develops Student Ideas

The Philosophy colloquium
(Philosophy 31 Ow) is a unique
course at Agnes Scott First of
all, it combines work in class
with work in a public forum
Second, it is a course designed
to teach students to think "on
their feet." Finally, it combines
traditional philosophical
concerns with contemporary
problems which have a
philosophical dimension.

In the Philosophy Colloquium
the students learn the
background of the central issue
of the course; then they are able
to pursue these issues through
questioning experts from the
relevant fields; finally, each
student develops her own
position. For example, this
winter the central issue of the
Colloquium will be "Images of
Freedom." The 'images' of the
title refers to the various concep-
tions of man's use of his life
E.g., some believe that a man is
free only if he can use his life as
he alone sees fit. Others believe
a man is free only if he realizes
himself as a part of a vital com-
munity. Anarchists and
libertians defend an in-
dividualistic notion of freedom.
Burke and Marx believe, in vary-

ing degrees, that the community
is essential to the realization of
freedom.

After studying materials
related to the problem men-
tioned, students will learn
methods for pursuing an issue or
problem by "live" questioning.
Then the class will have the op-
portunity to question experts,
scholars, political activists and
others when they make presen-
tations to a campus-wide
audience in the public sessions
of the Colloquium Even though
those not in the class will be able
to attend these sessions, the
members of the class will take
the opportunity to pursue a
position taken by the speaker
through close questioning; in
this way, they will develop the
ability to ask the substantive,
probing questions (and to avoid
the overly polite, purely in-
formative question). Most im-
portant will be the development
of the ability to follow up an
inadequate answer to a previous
question. In emphasizing these
dialectical and critical skills, the
course incorporates an im-
portant part of the medieval idea
of a public disputation in which a
question was posed and then
defended by one side and at-

tacked by the other.

After the public presentations
by visiting speakers, the
members of the class will
develop their own positions on
the issues considered. They, in
turn, will present their positions
to the whole group and will be
expected to defend the position
under questioning by the rest

Evaluation of performance in
the course will depend on such
factors as mastery of
background material and of
methods for investigative ques-
tioning, as well as the quality of
the presentation of one's own
position

The Philosophy Department
believes the value of the course
is great. First, it is the only
course in the catalgoue which
develops critical and analytic
skills in speaking skills which
are becoming increasingly im-
portant for women to have and
exercise. Second, the course will
be an application of both ethics
and logic. Finally, it should be
exciting and interesting to the
student. Details of the Collo-
quium, including names of
speakers, times and places of
meetings, will be released at
some time in the near future.

The Agnes Scott College Glee
Club announces its second
national contest for com-
positions for treble-voice
choruses. A prize of $250 will be
awarded the composer of the
winning work, and the work will
be submitted for publication in
the Agnes Scott College Choral
Series by the Hinshaw Music
Company.

The contest judges are Robert
Shaw, music director of the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra;
Theodore K. Mathews, director
of the Agnes Scott Glee Club;
William Lemonds, chairman of
the Emory University music
department and Roland Allison,

chairman of the Spelman
College music department.

According to Mathews, com-
positions will be evaluated on
the basis of aesthetic qualities,
craftmanship and
performability. If no entry is
judged satisfactory in all three
categories, no award will be
given.

Manuscripts should be sub-
mitted no later than Jan. 15,
1979. A winner will be an-
nounced on or before March 1 5,
1979.

Information on the specific re-
quirements for compositions
and on other contest conditions
can be obtained by contacting
Professor Mathews.

Sorbonne Professor Discussed
Eighteenth Century France

by Vicki Pyles

On Thursday evening,
November 9, Agnes Scott
French students and professors
had the pleasure of listening to
one the the world's experts on
the eighteenth century. The
speaker, Paul Verniere, a
renowned professor at the
Sorbonne in Paris, has been ac-
ting as a visiting professor at the
University of Georgia in Athens
this quarter The topic of his lec-
ture was "France in the Age of
Enlightenment: Analysis of a
Civilization."

In discussing the word

"civilization" M Verniere stated
that in order for a civilization to
last, it must create its own "art
de vivre" or way of life.
"Original" wasthe word he used
to distinguish eighteenth cen-
tury French living from other
European ways of life. One illus-
tration of this originality was the
constant presence of the
woman. She was neither
separated nor subordinated by
her male counterparts, as in
other countries such as England
and Spain.

Rotary Offers Grants
for Foreign Study

For the current school year,
1978-79, Rotary Foundation of
Rotary International will finance
a year of study in a foreign coun-
try for 888 students at a pro-
jected cost of approximately
$7.5 million This includes two
students from Georgia, one
studying at the University of
Poitiers in France and another at
the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem. Next year, there will
be three from Georgia, one at the
University of Manchester, one at
the University of Leicester, and
another at the London School of
Music, all in England. Since the
beginning of this program in
1 947, 1 1 ,290 awards have been
made, sending students into

more than 100 foreign coun-
tries. The purpose is to promote
international understanding and
goodwill and contribute to world
peace.

There are over 100 Rotary
Clubs in Georgia and they are
now seeking Georgia applicants
for 1980-81 awards in three

Christmas

by Lice Weston

Everyone on campus is aware
that Christmas is just around the
corner As we prepare to take
our fall quarter exams, we are
subconsciously thinking of the
holidays. Christmas is a family
event, and also a time when we
can see our old hometown
friends.

Many of us may not know how
people from other countries
celebrate Christmas We have
many foreign students attending
Agnes Scott I spoke with several
of these students about their
holiday traditions.

Christmas events are
generally the same throughout
the world, with some variations
In Germany, on December 5th,
little children place shoes in
front of their doors, waiting for
St Nicholas to stop by the place
candy or other small gifts in
them In France, shoes are
placed close to chimneys to be
filled with oranges or pieces of
chocolate

Christmas trees decorated
with ornaments or food are com-
mon among many nations The
Norwegians place country flags
on their trees Malaysians use
artificial trees because the pine
trees usually decorated do not
grow well in their country
Others decorate their trees with

Dear Editor

Last spring Athletic As-
sociation sent out a ques-
tionnaire to the freshman class
to gain ideas for activities that
Athletic Association could spon
sor in which everyone, not just
those who are athletically in
dined, would like to participate
Popular activities indicated were
a ski trip, rafting down the Chat
tahoochee, and a hike Wp
decided to have some of these
activities as our Big Event for
each quarter

When Athletic Association
met for the first time this fall, we
planned a hike for Nov 1 1 as the
Big Event for the quarter In
order to keep travelling time to a

popcorn or handmade
ornaments

Most countries have a
symbolic "Santa Claus" figure,
although the names differ. In
Germany, he is called St
Nicholas and in South Africa
Father Christmas. This Santa
Claus brings presents to
everyone German children are
not allowed to see the Christmas
tree until the time for opening
presents

Carolling is a popular activity
among many nations. Some
countries hold banquets or
Christmas plays. Venezuelans
roller skate through the streets,
shooting firecrackers and play-
ing traditional music

Many people attend church
services on Christmas day
Advent, the lighting of the can-
dles for four weeks before
Christmas day, is celebrated
among Christian Churches. In
Brazil, spiritualist groups not as-
sociated with Christmas have
parties They chant songs, light
candles, and decorate with
flowers A boat filled with gifts
rests in the harbor of a river or
lake

Traditional foods and spirits
are an annual event Germans
eat a special dinner of roast
goose The French bake cakes.

minimum, Peggy Pfeiffer took
the time to go to Georgia Out-
doors to find out what would be
both a fun and nearby hiking
area to go to Sweet Water State
Park was chosen, mainly
because of its location - just past
Six Flags thus giving
participants a large amount of
time to spend hiking and a small
amount of time to spend
travelling Arrangements were
made with Mrs Saunders in the
dining hall for bag lunches to be
prepared for Scott students at no
cost A sign-up sheet was then
posted in the mailroom asking
that participants sign up by Nov
7 so that the dining hall would
know exactly how many lunches

by Melanie Best

Her diction is always ap-
propriate, her dialogue natural
and precise, her characters
sympathetic without sen-
timentality. She is a genuine
storyteller, a master of the craft
that is endowed with a magical
aura. Students and outsiders
pressed hungrily into her
presence during her two-day
visit to touch and possess, while
they could, a piece of that magic

Once again Eudora Welty
shared herself and her writing
with Agnes Scott in coming
recently for a public reading and
as part of Orientation Council's
freshman book program. Miss
Welty 's honors and awards com-
prise a formidable list but they
merely reflect the power of her
work, and of her mind which
creates it.

Miss Welty graciously
receives everyone who ap-
proaches, and so she received
me. I felt possessive and self-in-
dulgent toward my special time
with her: she would furnish
thoughts about writing and I
could ask those questions that
had been stored up for so long

While we waited to begin she
adjusted a giant rose on her
table "Isn't it pretty?'' she said. I
thought of the bright bloomsthat
must riot in her yard every

to prepare At the time the sign-
up sheet was taken down,
thirteen Scott students had
signed up, so the dining hall was
asked to prepare the corres-
ponding number of lunches I
spoke with Peggy on Nov 10,
and she told me that only six
people still wanted to go, but we
decided to go anyway By 10 00
Saturday morning (departure
time), only two people wanted to

go

The most popular reason for
backing out was that everyone
had a lot of work to do If work
were that pressing, students
probably knew about if before
Nov 7 and should have made

spring. I can picture her house,
the brick English Tudor, for I
drive by each time I'm in
Jackson And I remembered her
marvelous introduction, along
with a recipe for squash
casserole, to a cookbook that we
kept at home. These things, as
much as the stories, express her
personality

Agnes Scott has never been a
hectic stop for Miss Welty. Since
her first visit in the mid-
Sixties she was on her way
home from residency at Smith
College she has felt at ease
here "I admire Agnes Scott so
much. The people are so bright
and responsive,'' she insists
Miss Welty especially ap-
preciates the give and take, the
informal conversations with
students. The pressure to role-
play as a literary theoretician, to
engage in esoteric analyses of
her tales of ordinary people,
which she encounters at other
institutions, it is mitigated here
We prefer her to be at one with
her stories, and so we go to hear
her read, and Gaines fills to
overflowing And she captures
us all

I can't recall the auditorium
more crowded than it was for
Eudora "I felt so bad about all
those people standing up," she
admitted. "There was lots of
room on the stage I wish they'd
sat there."

Her two selections that night
balanced each other well "A
Worn Path" is of course a
favorite of hers and ours but
"Power House" has a greater
impact on me We talked a lot
about it That she set the whole
thing down in one night as-
tonishes me "It just came in a
rush I hardly knew what was
happening " And she left it in
virtually original form, revisions
might have damaged the spirit
That story adapts particularly
well to reading aloud because
the rhythm imitates the piano
jazz Any writer reading to his
listeners can precisely render
his intention through voice tone
and pace

I thought she must, out of her
own, have a favorite story. But
no, she's fond of many, although
The Golden Apples as a collec
tion ranks on top Someone
asked if she has a favorite book
from all literature. "You mean of
the whole world? she replied
Miss Welty reads voraciously a
writer must and for her Chekov
remains the great master of the
story She is probably right his
works seem perfect, not wasted,
he does not moralize or pass
judgment but lets his characters
act out their own dramas

She prefers recognition as a
short story writer rather than
novelist With her characteristic,
unwarranted humility she dis
cussed her full-length books. "I
went from the short story to the
novel in ignorance Some of my
story ideas The Optimist's
Daughter, Losing Bat-
tles were really novels and had
to be expanded. That shows how
dumb I am, I didn't even know

Miss Welty must be the exem-
plary traveler, liking every place
she visits She is a curious
explorer; in Maine several
weeks ago she visited L L. Bean
for a flannel shirt Though a
"pure Mississippian" by
declaration she holds no

Where Are You, John Wayne?
"Comes A Horseman"

The worst that can be said
about "Comes A Horseman" is
that they don't make Westerns
like they used to. Considering
the factthatthecraggly visage of
John Wayne is seen today only
on Geritol commercials, against
a hideously fake Montana
backdrop, the droop in
Hollywood westerns is only to be
expected. Therefore, with all
things considered, one cannot
be too harsh on "Comes A
Horseman." It is, after all, a vic-
tim of the times

Set against a beautiful Mon-
tana landscape (yes, it's even
real) in the 1940 s, "Comes A
Horseman" tells the story of a
determined young woman (Jane
Fonda) who, with the helpof only
one age-broken cowhand, is
desperately tryint to save her
ranch from the greedy large-
land-owner next door That's
quite a task for a little lady, even
if it is a gutsy Fonda Enter
James Caan, a neighboring
smalltime rancher who is in the
same predicament Fonda and
Caan, as fate would have it, team
up together against the baddies,
fall in love, and, in the end, come
up bruised but smelling like
roses all of which is very
predictable, but still kind of nice.
"Comes A Horseman" is one of
those meaningless films that
will still have you smiling when
the house lights come up.

After a long period of exile
from the cinema world, Fonda
has finally, in the last year, been
able to reestablish her rapport
with the general public
Understandably so Fonda is a

unique talent, and her
performance in "Comes A
Horseman" almost vibrates with
her strength and determination.
When the tough, hardened Ella
of the beginning of the film
finally falls in love, she manages
to become soft, yet in a plausible
way that leaves the hard vitality
of her pre-love self miraculously
and thankful intact. Fonda does
not let herself get gushy and
goo-goo-eyed over her long
awaited romance, which is quite
a feat when it would be so easy
to do, especially since the object
of her affection is James Caan
Caan is incidently, about as
charming in "Comes A
Horseman" as you'll ever see
him.

Richard Farnsworth has had
the difficult task of playing the
often overdone role of the old
cowboy who dies with his boots
on. He managesto add a touch of
freshness to a type of role that
has long since become stale
from over-use and unimaginitive
actors Jason Robards is pas-
sable as the evil adversary, but,
unfortunately, his evil is in-
credibly benign compared to that
of similar characters in the
westerns of years past.

"Comes A Horseman" is a
good movie to see with a date
You may rest assured that Fonda
will not embarrass you in this
one! In fact, you'd never know it
was the same lady. And even
though "Comes A Horseman"
will not go down in the Western
Hall of Fame, it is nonetheless
comforting to know that the bad
guy still dies in the end

About the Music

*****

MESSIAH is among the
greatest artistic creations of
Western man, written by a pas-
sionately dedicated composer,
George Frideric Handel, during
the few weeks from August 22,
to September 1 4, 1 741 . After his
huge task was completed, and
all the music was on paper, he
remarked simply, "I think God
has visited me."

ing as well. The language and
manner with which the ac-
tresses spoke, and the intensity
of their emotions made them
realistic in every respect

The costumes, designed by
Sandra Eichelberger, were
extremely authentic and
conveyed just the right "touch"

to each character.

Steve Griffith, designed a very
creative and interesting set
which added vastly to the
warmth and realness of the play
The successful production
definitely reflected much time
and effort from many very
talented people.

Us A Child is Born, Every Valley
Shall be Exalted, He Was Des-
pised ... to hear the titles is to
hear in the mind's ear Handel's
glorious celebration of the Mes-
sianic gift that makes for the
underpinning of Christian belief.

Yet the music reaches beyond
denominational limits, touching
universals in its texts, underlin-
ing them with its music. It is a
work that never seems overly
familiar; each hearing reveals a
new level of beauty, of musical
genius. The ear anticipates the
excitement of the score, its
drama, its beauty, its tranquility.
The total range of emotion is em-

bodied in Handel's score: the
fury of And He Shall Shake; the
ineffable resignation of He Was
Despised; and the joy of Thou
Who Tellest Good Tidings

Handel divided Messiah into
three parts. Part I contains the
prophecy and narrative of the
Nativity; Part II tells the story of
the Passion and Resurrection
and the spreading of the Gospel.
Part III, whose theme is the
Resurrection, is more a series of
reflections upon the subject of
Salvation rather than a dramatic
entity, and is often referred to as
"the Easter Portion" of Messiah

Sidney's Just South 4225
Roswell Road, N.E., 256-2339
Lunch - 11:30-2 Monday
through Friday

Dinner - 6 00 - 10 p.m. Monday
through Friday

6:00 - 1 1 p.m. Friday and Satur-
day

I will confess up front that
Sidney's Just South is one of my
favorite restaurants in Atlanta It
is a very small, quaint house
located on Roswell Road a few
blocks south of Wieuca Road In-
side the surroundings are com-
fortable and intimate The main
dining room contains about 8
tables and the two rooms on the
side have a few tables in each
Cases of wine are stacked all
over the place and the decor
alone is not what I would des-
cribe as chic, but it is nice Each
table has fresh flowers and
Mozart flows throughout len-
ding a nice touch.

Once you are seated they
present you with a basket of very
good rye bread and butter to
munch while you contemplate
the menu. Then the waitress
proceeds to verbally describe the
soup of the day and the nightly
specials The menu includes
Appetizers like cabbage rolls
($2.50). soup ($2), and salad
($3) Personally I have never
gone wrong with the salad and
either the avocado or Roquefort
dressings, or the regular soup
which is always something great
like lentil soup or a creamed
tomato The regular entrees in-
clude a stuffed rainbow trout
($9); Phoenix Emperor Chicken
($9) is a boneless breast stuffed
with ham, cooked in tempura
batter and served with snow
peas and pineapple; Basque

Beef is a tenderloin cooked with
wine, scallions, mushrooms,
tomato and Worchestershire (6
oz - $9 .50 or 8 oz. $11). On our
most recent visit the specials
were Shrimp Dijon and Duck
L'Orange and I think they were
about $9-1 1 .

You may notice there is no
vegetarian dish on the menu and
that if one of my few complaints
about Sidney's. But they will ac-
comodate anyone if, when you
call for reservations at least one
day in advance, you ask for a
vegetarian dinner or any special
diet you would like. They do not
have a set entree for non-meat
eaters so it is just up to the chef
depending on the mood and
what fresh foods he/she can get
(taking into account any
particular allergies or foods you
do not like) I have heard that
Sidney (the owner) is a
vegetarian so you can usually
depend on a unique and
delicious dinner

Or our last visit my vegetarian
dinner was a creamed spinach
nut mixture baked in phyllo pas-
try (the thin, crunchy kind used
in many Greek dishes) and
covered in a cheese sauce It
was so wonderful that my mouth
is watering just remembering it!
Harry had the Shrimp Dijon,
which meant that it was cooked
in a mustard, butter, herb dres-
sing Our companion had the
other nightly special, the Duck L
Orange served on a bed of wild
rice Harry and our friend tasted
the three dishes and according
to them it was all perfection
Each entree is served with Luk
chen Kugel (a yummy noodle,
cinnamon, sour cream dish)
which is one of their specialities
and one nightly vegetable such
as steamed broccoli

Winter Break Training Course in D.C

Letters

The promise of laws that
protect the legal rights of the
handicapped and mentally ill will
become a reality when greater
numbers of informed, skilled ad-
vocates are available to provide
assistance.

Advocacy for the legal rights of
the mentally and physically
disabled is the topic of the next
training event of the National
Public Law Training Center, an
affiliate of the National Paralegal
Institute in Washington, D C.
The four days of advocacy train-
ing will be offered at the National
4-H Center, January 3-6, 1979
Housing and meals are available

at the site.

The goal of this training is to
provide non-lawyers
students, educators, paralegals,
practitioners (paid or volunteer)
in various human service oc-
cupationswith basic
understanding of some of the
laws that affect and protect such
clients. Issues such as due
process and commitment,
patient rights, mainstreaming
and independent living, and dis-
crimination in education or em-
ployment will be covered. Legal
advocacy skills such as fact
gathering, mediation and case
presentation, which are needed

for effective client advocacy, will
be practiced.

Tuition for the course is $200,
with a non-refundable ap-
plication fee of $25 (applied to
tuition) due on December 8,
1 978. A double room plus three
meals is $26 a day. NPLTC does

regional prejudice and disclaims
the North's reputation for
heartlessness.

Her roots are firmly planted;
she is tied to her home and vice-
versa. "Some have said to me, I
don't feel I belong anywhere. It's
sad because everyone needs to
have a home." In fiction, place
sets the stage and explains a
character. And so it holds true in
real life. We discussed the
dangers of suburbia. The
modern phenomenon is denying
the individual the chance to
claim a unique place which can
define his identity. Thiscreeping
rootlessness does not exempt
the South "You have to be deaf,
dumb and blind not to know the
South is changing," she stated
quietly In fact her work-in-
progress concerns these
transformations

Critics, and the reading public,
have always automatically clas-
sified Eudora Welty as a
"Southern writer." She doesn't
regard that as an arbitrary dis-
tinction The conflict that is
inherent to the Southern
culture the pervading guilt
feelings and defensiveness, the
dilemma of conforming to alien
values perfectly suits the short
story genre, whose essence is
conflict

plans to do it before or after the
hike or should not have signed
up for the hike at all. By no
means am I discouraging
participation in activities spon-
sored by Athletic Association or
any other organization on cam-
pus, however I am asking that
students have more con-
sideration for the sponsoring
organization and anyone else in-
volved in trying to make ac-
tivities as enjoyable as possible.
As I mentioned before, Peggy
Pfeiffer put a lot of time into
organizing the hike, and Mrs.
Saunders was most gracious in
agreeing to give hikers free lun-
ches. Since Mrs. Saunders

prepared thirteen lunches, the
eleven people who did not go
had, in essence, two lunches on
Saturday.

Apparently, the people who
signed up had not stopped to
think about the time that had
been put into the organization of
the hike when they decided not
to go. In the future I hope that
students have more con-
sideration for Athletic As-
sociation when we sponsor
other events for which a definite
number of participants is
needed.

tragic-comedy. So did William
Faulkner, though he tended
toward the darker stream. While
she does render the pathos of
human experience, more often
her stories are funny and
hopeful "Petrified Man" raised
howls from the audience the last
time she read here. "I guess it
fits my temperament to be a
comedy writer."

She is a morning person. With
her pot of coffee made, she gets
to work, ideally for several hours
at a stretch "I start writing
and want to keep going, but I
have to stop when I get tired."
Revisions comprise a necessary
part of her work process; they br-
ing the proportion often missing
from first drafts.

Growing up, Eudora knew she
wanted to be a writer. She has
continually cultivated her
powers of observation, picking
up and retaining details of
personality and situation until
they unconsciously spill onto her
pages. Her stories have never
been explicity autobiographical,

Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia
has received the National Rifle

vote, Knox noted.

A supporter of legislation that
would require mandatory
sentencing for criminal offenses
involving firearms, Senator
Nunn has been an opponent of
other legislation that threatened
firearms use by law-abiding
citizens, the NRA said.

Senator Nunn opposed efforts
to require the "tagging" of both
smokeless and propellant gun
powders, a program that would
have entailed a massive new
federal records-keeping system
paid for by shooters.

A strong supporter of the
Army's Civilian Marksmanship
program, the NRA noted.
Senator Nunn also advocated

language in the Chattahoochee
River National Recreation Area
legislation that benefited
hunters. He sponsored
legislation that would prohibit
the proposed Consumer Protec-
tion Agency from imposing
"backdoor" firearms and am-
munition controls.

Elected to the Senate in 1977
to complete the term of the late
Senator Richard Russell,

Fire Safety Stressed

Mr Vaughan Black, director of
the Physical Plant, described the
campus fire protection system,
by saying "we virtually have
none ." However, action is being
taken Mr Black is very
concerned with the safety of the
campus dorms and presently is
investigating a central fire
protection system where the
detectors and fire alarms are
hooked into a central unit Tins
system involves a great expense,
therefore it will probably be a
while before the project is
undertaken

Meanwhile, Mr Black saidthe
students can help with fire

safety by taking a few
precautionary measures such as
taking fire drills seriously, and
immediately contacting the
physical plant, or after hours,
security if any sign of smoke is
detected Also, students should
always be aware of the chances
of fire, therefore, do not overload
the electrical outlets by exten
sion cords and dispose of
cigarettes properly

Pearl, A True Gem

by Emily Moore

On December 1, 1978, the
Students for Black Awareness
(SBA) presented Mrs. Pearl
Cleage Lomax to the Agnes Scott
College community during a
chapel period. She is a petite,
disciplined, and mature woman
of thirty years and is very
successful in her careers. She is
a poet, f ilm-writer, columnist for
the Atlanta Gazette, a
politician's wife, and a mother;
yet most inspiring to the
members of SBA is the fact that
she is a successful black woman
with only a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Spelman College,
Atlanta, Georgia.

Mrs. Lomax shared with us
some of her poetry, in which she
reveals what a warm, loving,

conservative, radical, and
"together" lady she really is.
She spoke of herself in relation
to her family in a way which
inspires hope for the survival of
the family unit. She shared
tender moments, and also
resentful times, that she felt
upon becoming a mother; and
she shared bitterness toward
the way society frequently
threatens the feminity of the
black woman.

In a poem entitled "Yet, They
Say We Are Never Raped," Mrs
Lomax protests and
sympathizes, as only a black
woman can, with the plight of
Joane Little. She releases her
emotions, herself, in this poem
as she does in all of her work

She is daring and, possibly even,
revolutionary in speech and
deeds. In fact, she suggested,
upon her graduation from
Spelman College, in 1971, that
her class perform its
commencement exercises
dressed in African tribal robes;
Needless to say, she was the
only one with the "guts" tocarry
it through.

Mrs Lomax is as you can see.
especially if you heard her
speak, quite a remarkable and
courageous lady. She says what
she feels and stands behind it;
yet, she insists that she is, as she
says all writers are, "a rather
cowardly sort of person."
Cowardly though she may be,
Pearl Lomax is a rarity; she is a
true gem of a lady

The Intrepid Traveller Sus P ects Nabbed in Cockr ch Case

As many of you may know.
Laramie Larsen, '80, is study-
ing abroad this year at the
University of Aberdeen in
Scotland. Laramie and I
correspond with each other
regularly, and I become in-
creasingly aware, with each
letter that I receive, of the
wealth of unusual op-
portunities that are made
available to one on one's junior
year abroad. As many of you
may be interested in this plan
yourselves, or are at least
curious to know how Laramie
is and what she has been
doing, I thought I would share
her most recent letter with you.

Cat Wendt

Dear Cat.

Not much has been going on
around here Two days ago my
dorm burned to the ground,
which really wouldn't have
posed any problems except for
the fact that the big dorm party
we had planned for tonight will
have to be postponed
indefinitely, or until reconstruc-
tion is completed At first it was
thought that the fire was caused
by an explosion of natural gas
However, that theory was
dispelled when it was realized
that the building is heated by
solar power After the initial
explosion and subsequent
helicopter lift to safety I was
standing near the blazes, roas-
ting a marshmallow for making
"smores" and I noticed a funny
looking one-armed man stan-
ding by a detonator with a fuse
leading to my burning dorm I
probably wouldn't have though'
anything about it except that he
was giggling uncontrollably and
rubbing his hands together
"Well, now" I pondered to
myself, "this may indicate foul-
play " So I went up and asked
him if he had exploded the dorm
He looked nervous and said he
hadn't done it When I asked him
why my question made him
nervous he said that in fact it

Monday
Novtober 38, 1492
Zanzibar

wasn't my question which made
him nervous at all; rather, he
was expecting the arrival of a
tax-auditor and wasn't certain
his accounts were in shape. That
answer satisfied me, especially
as it explained the detonator, so I
went back to my marshmallows
Not so the local authorities!
Believing the man to be of sus-
picious nature, they immediately
nabbed him and took him to their
top-secret underground head-
quarters, conspicuously marked
by a neon sign over the door
During their official questioning
of the suspect, it was
determined that he was indeed a
member of the AIHLIS (Anti-
Institutions of Higher Learning
in Scotland) League and had
served in the army as an
explosives expert It was also
determined that the bomb which
destroyed my dorm bore the
message "Made by Vesuvius
Smith " Oddly enough, the man
in question was named
Vesuvius Smith. Being no fools,
the authorities immediately put
two and two together and knew
without a shadow of a doubt that
the man was indeed the in-
famous flasher who had been
terrorizing Yorkshire Terriors in
Hyde Park recently. He was
severely reprimanded and sent
to his room without supper How
swift is justice in Scotland Of
course this episode made me
ponder the validity of the theory
that no two snowflakes are alike,
and I immediately set off for Aus-
tralia to research this problem
more thoroughly Upon arrival in
Sydney I set off for the bush,
where I met up with an
extremely likeable tribe of
Abonginees. who pounded me
with questions about Evonne
Gooligong's progress in the
tournament circuit They
became rather angry when I
failed to explain her system for
returning an overhead smash,
so I began to look around for

One hundred-fifty
women nearly one-third of the
Agnes Scott student body-
have been charged with first-
degree murder in the deaths of
many members of the campus
cockroach community. The
killings termed "ruthlessly
intentional" by a spokesman
from the school's security
force are probably unrelated
but the possibility of an
organized underground
conspiracy is being investigated.

Bodies of the dead
arthropods some squashed
and dismembered beyond the
point of identification have
been turning up in great
numbers recently. The locations
of the crimes have varied Some
corpses are found adhered to the
bottom of telephone books
tossed carelessly into dormitory
hallways Others are lying prone
on their backs on bathroom
floors Autopsies of selected un-
molested victims have revealed

these were coaxed, or coerced,
into imbibing vast quantities of
cyanide-spiked Kool-Aid.

How the massive volume of
killings has gone undetected for
so long baffles investigators. Es-
timated deaths reach figures as
high as six hundred, or four
roaches per killer-suspect. And
some suspects have not yet been
apprehended, pending the
seizure of more substantial
evidence.

Some of the accused students
have refused to comment on the
issue Many, however, are quite
indignant over what they call
"harsh, unjust treatment" from
law officials They do not even
claim to be innocent and feel
their actions are justified. "The
vile, disgusting creatures were
taking over the place. They have
no business being here Go
ahead and call me prejudiced
and ethnocentric!" one woman
snarled at a reporter when ap-
proached.

Psychologists have been
asked to speculate on the causes
of this murderous behavior
among the, to this time, seem-
ingly docile and well-mannered
young females. "These mass
killings have risen spon-
taneously and without
forethought from the impulse to
destroy a certain image these
students have acquired,"
asserted Dr Norman Fishbein
"Agnes Scott women have been
known to be rather passive in
the classroom, anyway Their

what it costs to keep sending me
those bulletins which I throw
down the trash chute as I go by?

I'm sure you think I am a
terrible person, but if the lady
who used to be Mary Boney is
still there ask her She has
known me and my family for
many years I know she has
married, but do not recall her
present last name

Sorry I feel the way I do, but
that's it

On minor adjustment most
Freshmen must make during
Fall quarter is to the 3 point grad-
ing system. Many high schools
have adopted the four point
system or preparatory schools
graded numerically instead of
alphabetically. The main reason
Agnes Scott has remained on
the three point scale is tradition,
also that converting to another
scale would be a great deal of
work Many graduate schools
and professional schools have
their own grading scale and will
convert students grade point
averages to another scale com-
pletely Remember to note that
the grade point average is a
three point system or you can
convert your grade point average
to a four point scale by simply ad-
ding one point Many graduate
schools will concentrate on your
major average more than the
overall G.P.A

One point that is not em-
phasized in orienting Freshmen
is that nine-hour C's and
especially n ine- hour D's are very
difficult to "bring up "

More and more of our
graduates go to some form of
further education The three
point scale will not make any
difference as far as hindering
any Scottie's chances for accep-
tance into graduate schools or in
the job market

I'd better pretace this article by
saying that I am a "semi-
vegetarian" (obviously my own
terminology). I eat meat only oc-
casionally so I forewarn you that
I really enjoy restaurants that
serve good vegetarian fare. Add
a Mexican flair and friends will .
tell you that I am in heaven! I
think Nature's Last Stand is a
nice natural foods restaurant
because they serve regular
meatless dishes as well as foods
from the Middle East, Mexico
and a few California-style con-
coctions

For the past few years NLS has
been a minuscule but thriving
operation behind the Georgian
Terrace Hotel Now I am glad to
announce their recent addition
that opened up on Peachtree just
a few blocks south of Piedmont
Hospital. I prefer the new place
because parking is much more
acessible and it is big and roomy
Neither location offers table
service. You order at the
counter, give them your first
name and they call you when it's
ready I like the "touch" of using
your name instead of a number
One of my favorites is the
Mexican Dinner (of course)
which includes an order of
nachos, guacamole salad, and a
bowl of dynamite vegetarian
chili. Before going to NLS I
couldn't imagine a decent chili
without meat (my Texas up-
bringing is showing) but they
have made me a believer. It is
spicy and wonderful. The
guacamole salad is good in spite
of the iceberg lettuce and the
nachos are a good addition. This
is quite a meal and priced at
$3 89 One of Harry's favorite
sandwiches is the Sloppy Bob
($1 65) which is veggie chili,
tomato, cheese and mayonnaise
stuffed in pita (or pocket) bread
They also have various salads
and sandwiches which are
delightful Two of their most
popular Middle Eastern dishes
include tabboulah (cracked
wheat with celery tomato and
an olive oil-lemon juice dres
sing) and hommus (qarban/e
beans with tahini dressing)
Another traditional vegetarian
sandwich is one with avocado
cheese and alfalfa sprouts

Each evening Nature's Last
Stand (the Piedmont Hospital
location only) serves a special
dinner entree after 5:00 p m On
a recent evening it was a
lasagne ($1 .95) and it was very
cheesy and luscious

Even if you think you may hot
like vegetarian food this is a good
place to try because you will
surely find something to please
your palate!

Zest for Pleasure

He was the eldest son of
Queen Victoria, who ruled Great
Britain for more than half a cen-
tury When he ascended the
throne after her death in 1901
he reigned for only nine years
And yet Edward VII was no less a
symbol of his time than his
formidable mother had been.

The full and colorful lifetime of
this extraordinary monarch - - a
man who plunged with equal
zest into foreigh affairs as love
affairs will unfold in "Edward
the King," the new Mobil
Showcase presentation seen
Wednesdays at 8 p.m. (ET) on
WTCG Ch 17, Atlanta.

In 13 one-hour episodes,
"Edward the King" depicts the
coming of age of a man des-
cribed by author J B Priestley as
one who, above all, "enjoyed be-
ing king." The Mobil Showcase
series, produced by ITC
Entertainment, follows Edward
from his birth and straightlaced
upbringing through his youthful
rebellions and romances to his
long-delayed coronation and
brief but eventful reign.

Edward, played by Timothy
West, grew up under the rigid
tutelage of his father, Prince
Albert (Robert Hardy), who
shielded him from the world out-
side the walls of Windsor Castle
Queen Victoria (Annette Cros-
bie) did permit him an occasional
trip abroad young Edward en-
joyed the freedom of those
foreign holidays as though he
had escaped from prison (and in
a way, he had), but Edward spent
much of his youth waiting for
freedom from the parental grip

Slowly, the freedom came,
and when it did the handsome

young Prince of Wales enjoyed it
to the fullest. Even after his
marriage to Denmark's beautiful
Princess Alexandra (Helen Ryan)
Edward energetically
demonstrated his fondness for
late-night revels, gambling and
the company of beautiful
women. His lifestyle was the talk
of a scandalized London,
especially when he was called
as a witness in a divorce trial.

But Edward wasn't simply a
"playboy" prince. There was
substance behind his style, as
even the gossips had to admit.
Even as he sampled the high life
of various foreign capitals, he
quickly proved himself to be a
dashing, capable ambassador of
goodwill. The gossip-mongering
began to give way to cheers for
"Good old Teddie," soon to
become an appealingly human
king

"Edward the King," based on
the highly regarded biography by
Sir Philip Magnus, was directed
by John Gorrie and produced by
Cecil Clarke. The series was
written by David Butler and
Gorrie and filmed with the full
cooperation of the British
government. Many locations
were opened to cameras for the
first time, and viewers will see
not only the traditional pagean-
try of Westminster Abbey and St
Paul's but the royal retreats of
Sandringham and Windsor.

The lavish production also
stars Sir John Gielgud in a
cameo appearance as Disraeli,
Michael Hordern as Gladstone
and Francesca Annis as the
glamorous actress Lillie Langtry
Cyril Ornandel was musical
director

The Winter Film Festival has begun with the January 7th
showing of "A Man for All Seasons" was tremendously
successful, with well over 200 people coming I hope this
bodes well for the future

January 21st we'll show the original "Invasion of the
Body Snatchers" (1956) in honor of the recently released
re-make The film was tremendously successful, and
generally acclaimed to have been an intelligent,
imaginative science-fiction film about alien monsters who
plan to take over the Earth by transplanting themselves into
human bodies One is tempted to see influences of the
McCarthy era.

On the 21st, we will show sequences from the Marx
Brothers' "Monkey Business" Admission $1 00

February 4th Leni Riefenstahl' documentary.
"Triumph of the Will" (1936) In German with English sub
titles As a record of the Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg in
1 934. this film has a disturbing power and stands as one of
the most staggering examples of cinematic propaganda

We will also show sequences from D W Griffith's classic
silent film "Intolerance" (1916) Admission $1 00

February 25th Shakespeare's Henry V. directed by and
starring Sir Laurence Olivier (1 946) The New York Times
calls it one of the most impressive Shakespeare films ever
made The opening sequence, where the play is being
performed as in Shakespeare's day in the Globe Theatre in
the 16th century, is particularly fascinating Admission
Free

March 4 The Academy Award nominee, "Bonnie and
Clyde" (1 967) This story of the Barrow gang and their Dust
Bowl era crime spree is one of the most important films of
the 1960 s This is the first of the recent anti-hero films

Exhibition Hosted by Georgia Archives Celebrates
200th Anniversary of French-American Treaty

Over 240 documents and
artifacts depicting a half-century
of French-American relations
comprise France Views
America 1765-1815, the
exhibition hosted by the Georgia
Archives from January 18-
March 1 8, 1 979 This
cultural/historical collection
celebrates the 200th an-
niversary of the peak of those
relations the Treaty of Amity
and Commerce when France
became the first donor of funds
and military aid to America dur-
ing the War of Independence.

Through textiles, portraits,
original letters and manuscripts,
coins, music and a news-view-
ing device, the "vue d'optique"
or "peep-show," the exhibition
presents the shift in French
conceptions of America from
1765-1815 This adjustment
from idealization of the colonies
to disillusion and then reality is
traced in four areas the land
("The Myth and The Land"),
political structures ("The
Utopian Government"),
commerce "(The Atlantic
Market") and the American
people ('The Yanqui") Specific
topic items range from corres-
pondence of Ben Franklin and
Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas
Paine's Rights of Man to
political cartoons, a cargo list for
bear grease and a paper fan sup-
posedly sent to Abigail Adams
from Paris by her husband.

The exhibit contents were
drawn from two sources:
museums, libraries and private
collections, and the books and
papers of Pierre Samuel du Pont
de Nemours and his two sons
Du ^ont de Nemours (1739-
1817) was an editor and French
monarchy official with strong
advocacy for French-American
alliance, and ties with American
and French intellectuals and
patriots Eventually emigrating
to Delaware, he remained in
allied affairs, and his family
papers now form part of the
Eleutherian Mills Historical
Library of Wilmington,
Delaware, the originators of

France Views America

An Archives display focusing
on William Harris Crawford will
supplement the exhibition and
feature the intricately em-
broidered and beaded coat that
Crawford reputedly wore to his
first meeting with Napoleon.
Also included will be his
signature seal and pocketwatch,
copies of selected corres-
pondence and a piano fcrte
belonging to his daughter
Crawford was the Georgia
lawyer who served as US
minister to Napoleon's court
from 1813-15 and as US.
Secretary of the Treasury under
the Madison and Monroe ad-
ministrations.

During the exhibition period,
special guided tours will replace
the general public tour of the

Dean Gary Gets Back to

What It's All About

by Eleanor Graham

After five years Dean Gary is
back in the classroom, this time
teaching two sections of
Chemistry 100. To saythatshe is
excited about her new (and yet,
old) job is an understatement.
When I talked with her she
emanated intense feelings of
thrill like a middle-aged rekin-
dling an old flame. When asked
about how she feels about
teaching again, Dean Garyquic-
kly replied, "I feel as if I've been
promoted." Her joy over teach-
ing and her persistent dedication
to the students of Agnes Scott
are best manifested by Dean
Gary, the teacher. "After all,"
she says, "it (teaching) gets me
back to what college is all
about."

It was not until two or three
weeks ago that Dean Gary
learned she would be teaching
this year. However, as things
turned out, it is the only "viable
option " With Dr Clark's sudden
death and the school's inability
to hire their favorite candidate
for his place. Dr. White is the
only Chemistry professor
qualified to teach Organic
Chemistry. Consequently, it was
necessa ry for Dean Gary to step-
in and relieve the teaching
burden of Dr. White.

In spite of the natural
problems with transition from
one professor to the next in a
year long course and the
demands of her position as
Dean, Dean Gary's chemistry
classes are going to receive the
utmost attention. She em-
phatically told me "they got first

priority." Of course, this
decision is both good and bad
since as she put it, "some people
will feel slighted."

According to Dean Gary, her
students can expect her to work
harder for them; she seems to
want to give whole-heartedly in

other accomodations
Fortunately I spotted a Holiday
Inn over the hill, to which I made
my way. Imagine my dismay
when, upon seeking out the
World's Innkeeper, I was told by
the kangaroo behindthe counter
that there was no room in the
inn. Atthistime some shepherds
came running in with some cock
& bull story about an angelic
choir appearing to them, telling
them to make haste to New York
City, to the corner of Park
Avenue and Henderson. There
they were to buy a gyro
sandwich and wait on a bench
for more instructions. Since I
couldn't get a room anyway, and
I had been craving a gyro
sandwich since I left Calais, I
decided to go with them. This
plan seemed to be working out
fine until one of them turned to
me with a glazed smile and
asked, "Whatdo you knowabout
the One-World Church of the
Unification? "More than I'd like
to," I replied, and jumped ship.
Naturally, this left me in a rather
precarious position, as I had not
left a forwarding address and my
matches were all wet. Things
continued in this gloomy fashion
for about an hour. Just as I was
considering the best way to put a
half-nelson on a shark who had
been annoying me, bumming
cigarettes and suggesting
dinner, a Norwegian trawler
pulled up alongside me. I was
piped aboard and taught to
polka. This situation suited me
fine, especially as I am fond of

smoked cod and accordians. But,
wouldn't you know it Cat, just as
I was getting engrossed in a
conversation with a Sicilian mid-
wife on the metaphysical im-
plications of orlon over polyester

as a means of ending world
hunger, the ship ran aground on
the Horns of a Dilemma.
Fortunately this is in a part of
Morroco whiqh I know well, hav-
ing spent many happy years
there making sandals. I quickly
made my way to the house of a
friend of mine who has made
quite a name for himself as a
philologist. He fed and clothed
me (striped djelabohs we can
wear at home) and put me in
touch with a friend of his who
was on his way to Amsterdam
with a troupe of Morris dancers
from Banchoix

What luck, I thought Little did
I know they were a bunch of
transvestites who sought to
convert the world to a "blessed
regime of Neo-Classical
vegitarianism and study of the
Martial Arts "Dyed-in-the-wool
philanthropist that I am, I left this
gay company at Paris and sought
refuge with an ancient beret-
maker and his dog, Beau-frere.
This was a strange interval in my
travels, as I don't speak a word of
Swahili and Beaufrere spoke only
Hungarian. Life can be hard. But
Dame Fortune smiled on me (did
you know her front teeth are
capped?) and I was able to get to
London by way of selling door to
door copies of "The Guiness
Book of British Hit Singles." At
the reception following my being
awarded the "Salesperson of
the Year" award, I heard an
elderly botanist mention his up-
coming trip to Aberdeen "Mind
if I come along," I asked? He
agreed to let me, on the con-
dition that I provide the
cauliflower. This seemed
reasonable to me, especially as
tulips are in season, so off we set
for the Granite City. We arrived
this morning by dogsled (which
is another story entirely) and
immediately set off three red
ballons. Which brings me to the
point of my story: When you part
your hair, do you start at your
forehead or at the back of your
head?

Love,
Laramie

BEOG Offers More Aid

On November 1, 1978, the
President signed the Middle In-
come Assistance Act (Public
Law 95-566). The new law will
affect primarily the Basic
Educational Opportunity Grant
(BEOG) and the Guaranteed
Student Loan Programs.

The BEOG program in past
years has been known as a
program for lower-income and
lower-middle-income families.
Students whose family incomes
exceeded $1 5,000 were usually
not eligible for the Basic Grant
Under the new provisions, the
program will be extended to
cover some students with family
incomes of $25,000 Bonnie
Johnson, Director of Financial
Aid, indicates that probably
twice as many Agnes Scott
students will be eligible for
BEOG in 1979-80 This year
about seventy students are
receiving these federal grants
which range to $1,600 For the
academic year 1979-80, they
may range to $1 ,800

Under the provisions of the
Guaranteed Student Loan
program, students and their
families go to lenders in their
own communities for funds to
meet college expenses. The
maximum loan for one year is
$2,500 and for undergraduate
study is $7,500. In the past,
students whose adjusted family
income was over $25,000 could
receive no federal interest
benefits. In other words, if they
were able to secure a loan, they
rather than the federal
government were responsible
for paying the interest on the
loans while they were in school
The new regulations eliminate
the income ceiling so that all
students are eligible for federal
interest benefits. The interest
rate on these loans is seven
percent which starts nine mon-
ths after withdrawal or
graduation by the student

Students with questions
about these new provisions
should contact the Financial Aid
Office

All Students interested in financial
aid for 1979-80 should pick up the
appropriate forms in the Financial
Aid Office as soon as possible.

Job Opportunities in Europe this Summer

Work this summer in the
forests of Germany, on
construction in Austria, on
farms in Germany, Sweden and
Denmark, in industries in France
and Germany, in hotels in
Switzerland is available.

There are also jobs available in
Ireland, England, France, Italy,
and Holland by the consent of
the governments of these coun-
tries to American university
students coming to Europe the
next summer.

For twenty years students
made their way across the
Atlantic through A E S Service
to take part in the actual life of
the people of these countries
The success of this project has
caused a great deal of en-
thusiastic interest and support
both in America and Europe.
Every year, the program has

been expanded to include many
more students and jobs. Many
students have already made ap-
plication for next summer jobs
American-European Student
Service (on a non-profitable
basis) is offering these jobs to
students for Germany, Scan-
dinavia, England, Austria,
Switzerland, France, Italy, and
Spa in The jobs consist of fores-
try work, child care work
(females only), farm work, hotel
work (limited number available),
construction work, and some
other more qualified jobs re-
quiring more specialized
training

The purpose of this program is
to afford the student an op-
portunity to experience real con-
tact with the people and customs
of Europe. In this way, a concrete
effort can be made to learn

something of the culture of
Europe. In return for his or her
work,the student will receive his

In most cases, the employers
have requested especially for
American students. Hence, they
are particularly interested in the
student and want to make the

Profile Meeting Rebekah Recreation Room

Before the quarter gets well
underway and schedules
become crowded. Lecture Com-
mittee would like to clarify its
role and remind the students,
faculty, and staff of the tremen-
dous events planned for this
quarter.

Lecture Committee is a
student-faculty organization ad-
ministering a budget earmarked
for special events which form a
vital part of the liberal arts
curriculum here. The outstand
ing lecturers and performers
offer those within a field an op-
portunity to increase their
knowledge and those outside a
field an opportunity to broaden
their knowledge. Lecture Com-
mittee schedules three or four
programs of general interest
each year. In addition, many of
the lectures, workshops, and
performances which are spon-
sored by individual departments
are subsidized either wholly or in
part by the committee.

Academic departments sub-
mit requests which areapproved
by Lecture Committee according
to the budget. Our policy has
been to seek programs of merit
not ordinarily available in the
Atlanta area. Everyone has the
opportunity to participate in the
process of selection. Since Lec-
ture Committee is now making
plans for next year, we would
like to encourage everyone to
make suggestions, either by
referring them to an appropriate
department or by filling out a re-
quest form These forms are
available in Prof Woods' office
in Rebekah.

Lecture Committee has
scheduled two major events for
this quarter. On Wednesday,
February 21 , the Guarneri String

Quartet will perform. Agnes
Scott is fortunate to have the
Guarneri, considered by many
critics to be the finest in their
field, return for their sixth
performance here. This year for
the first time we will charge off-
campus members of the
audience a small admission. On
Monday, February 26, Joseph
Campbell will speak. A noted
mythologist and philosopher,
Prof Campbell is the author of
The Masksof God and The Hero
with a Thousand Faces.

During that same week, on
Wednesday, February 28, the
Celebration Mime Company will
perform This performance is
sponsored by the Theatre
department and subsidized by
the Southern Federation of the
Arts. Richard Poirier, a scholar of
British and American Literature
and director of Graduate Studies
at Rutgers University, will lec-
ture on Wednesday, February
21 The Sociology department
will have G. Ramachandran asa
guest lecturer; however, the
date of his lecture is still
uncertain.

All of the above programs will
be at 8 15 in Presser Hall

the main purpose of college -
learning. But from the students'
point-of-view Dean Gary can
never replace the much admired
Dr White. The students I talked
with had more to say about their
bitterness over not having Dr.
White and the termination of his
teaching contract at the end of
this year, and their respect for
Dr Whiteasagreatteacherthan
their anticipations and im-
pressions of Dean Gary As one
student told me sadly, "I am so
close to Dr. White and want him
so much more that it's hard for
me to be objective about Dean
Gary " Some students have
reservations about how res-
ponsive the class will be
because they feel somewhat
"intimidated " Another student
believes that the class will
probably not be as outspoken
because Dr White "prompted
people to ask questions "

Though each student has her
cwn qualms about having Dean
Gary and the change in general,
they also have some positive
points to make overall, most of

those I interviewed are remain-
ing open "I feel like she's going
to be a good teacher," was told
with confidence to me morethan
a couple of times

With both sides prepared to try
hard it appears as though some
of the potentially chaotic
situation in the Chemistry
Department will be avoided in
these two Chemistry 100 sec-
tions Of course, DeanGary can-
not and won't attempt to replace
Dr White, but she is ap-
proaching the matter in such a
way as to ease the transition
She explained to me that she is
going to do some things similar
to Dr White's manner which she
normally would not do.

If she is as "funny, pleasant
and organized with good class
presence" as one Senior Biology
major told me, then this year's
Chemistry 100 and her future
courses could be very rewarding
experiences. I suspect it's true.
We should welcome Dean Gary
back to where we could all learn
a few things.

"Ladyhouse Blues" Enters Competition

The Blackfriars' production of
"Ladyhouse Blues" has been
selected for performance during
the Southeastern American
College Theatre Festival Feb. 1 -4
in Athens, Ga The Blackfriars
are one of six college theatres
from the 10-state southeastern
region invited to the festival. The
winner of this competition will
perform at the national festival
to be held at the Kennedy Center
in Washington, D C

The play's leading lady, Carol
Tviet, a return-to-college
student from Stone Mountain,

has been nominated for the
Irene Ryan Scholarship
competition for acting. Also
nominated for judging are the
play's costume designs by senior
Sandra Eichelberger.

In preparation for the
Southeastern Festival, the
Blackfriars will perform
"Ladyhouse Blues" at Agnes
Scott College Jan. 31 at 8:15
p.m in Presser Hall

The Blackfriars' production is
directed by Dr Jack Brooking,
and the all-female cast are
Agnes Scott students The set,

designed by Steven Griffith,
utilized theatre-in-the-round
concepts

Written by Kevin O'Morrison,
"Ladyhouse Blues" was com-
missioned by the American
Playwright's Theatre and has
enjoyed successful productions
in resident professional com-
panies and in universities in
various parts of the country. The
Agnes Scott production is the
first in Atlanta.

When More Is Less: Inflation Hits the ASC Endowment

by Tom Hogan

When prices double, you are
in good shape if your income at
least doubles Otherwise, your
mood will range from unhappy to
depressed as more money buys
fewer things In the United
States prices doubled from 1 967
to 1978, and the prospect is for
prices again to double well
before the end of the next
decade. Few people are happy

Rising prices probably hurt
private, independent colleges
more than any other institution
in society College income is
principally derived from tuition
rates, the number of students

paying tuition, gifts, and en-
dowment income With regard to
tuition rates, there is a limit to
what parents can pay; with
regard to the total number of
students, the number of 18-
year-olds in the United States
will shrink by some 18% by the
mid-1980's; with regard to gifts,
wealthy people give less during
hard economic times; with
regard to endowment, colleges
"use it up" as they opt for
current income yield without
regard to growth of purchasing
power over time.

College finance has been
characterized as being based on
a "no-surplus, no-capital-ac-

cumulation philosophy." Even
the sale of college property, such
as real estate, results in a draw-
ing down of endowed funds, if
the proceeds are not replaced in
the general endowment.

When colleges anticipate
sharply rising expenses, one
reaction is to "cut back" instead
of generating the financial
capacity to persevere "Cutting
back" can range from reducing
programs to freezing
departmental budgets.

Finance at Agnes Scott
College has been influenced by
shifts in student population and
by inflation in this decade. In the
early 1 970's a decline in student

Al Evans Takes Over Security

by Tina Gwyn

The new Director of Security
at Agnes Scott is Alec Evans, the
former evening shift supervisor
He replaces Mr. Frank Blackmon.
who resigned to take a position
in the Security Department of

Emory University

Evans has been at Agnes Scott
for four and a half years He
worked as a private investigator
before coming here

As Security Director he will be
in charge of all police work on

campus. He will set the policies
and procedures for the Security
Department and will work direc-
tly with the Decatur Police and
Fire Departments

Evans commented, "I'm happy
to have the position. I'll be mak-
ing some security changes, but
for the most part there will be no
major ones. I'm happy with the
department We have the best
Security Department the college
has had in years. Much of that is
due to Frank Blackmon

He added, "One way to im-
prove the department is to have
more mandatory training for our
officers In the past it's been left
up to the individual officers, but
from now on it will be man-
datory. Advanced First - Aid
Courses will be given through
the DeKalb Emergency Medical
Service and DeKalb College and
each summer we train with the
DeKalb Police Department for
two weeks."

Evans took over his new duties
January 4th

enrollment led to less income
from that source. Expenses in-
creased with rising salaries, ris-
ing fringe benefits (including
social security taxes), and rising
costs for materials and energy
Endowment income has paid for
an increasing percentage of the
educational budget over the past
decade. In recent years the en-
dowment provided more income
to the educational budget than
did all tuition income and gifts
combined whereas this
relationship was the reverse in
the early 1 970's

Total income from tile en-
dowment has increased
markedly during the 1 970's, and
this increased income has offset
rising expenses during that time
In the early 1 970's the yield of
the endowment ranged from
2.0% to 3.2% (based on market

value), whereas this yield was
5.9% as of June, 1 978 By com-
parison, in mid-1978, US
Government Bonds (10-year)
and AAA-rated corporate bonds
yielded over 8.5% and AAA-
rated new utility bonds yielded
about 9 0% Sometimes the
relationships can become com-
plex, but, generally, increasing
yields can be achieved at the
cost of growth of investment
principal. Meanwhile, inflation
reduces the purchasing powerof
the investment principal as well
as spendable income achieved
on that principal.

The effects of inflation on the
ASC endowment are shown in
the following graphs The as-
sumptions behind the graphs
are somewhat different;

From A Black

Agnes Scott Still A Lady But
She Is Also A Fine Student....

"Agnes Scott is a four-year,
liberal arts college for women
located only 20 minutes from
downtown Atlanta where the
sun shines always and it never
rains." This sounds like the
perfect stereotipification of a
woman's school and might lead
some people to speak of our
long -respected and highly
recommended college as a girls'
finishing school Well, if that
statement didn't suit the con-
dition then maybe last week's
article in the Atlanta
Constitution did A reporter-
photographer team was sent to
the campus a couple of
weekends ago to gather some
information about the social life
at Agnes Scott But somehow
the article reeked of sarcasm in
the fact that we have the same,
in some cases, and stricter in
others, opportunity to commune
with both male and female
friends My first reaction was
one of terrific anger which then
subsided into disbelief that a few
moments from a T G I F party
and a few minute conversations
could be so misconstrued We
are not here purely for the social
life and the opportunity to meet
males, as the article seemed to
imply, but rather because we
love academic inquisition

Some of the most irksome
parts of the article were the
insertions of supposedly what
an alumna would say after 15
years without setting foot on
campus The worst was about
"losing more than flexibility"
when the dorms were opened to
parietals I don't feel Ms Yearly
made a fair assumption on
behalf of the alumnae either
Many of the "alums'' are very
open and realistic to policy
changes that are coming about
They realize that the today's
younger generation isn't any
"worse" than in other decades,
but that we've often ostracized
ourselves because we have
chosen to bring problems into
the clearing

While talking with various
student and faculty members I
got an array of reactions, but
they all portrayed the same
point Disgust and perturbation
about such a misinterpreted
article were among the first res-
ponses Then came some
reasons why "It (the article)
made us sound like a finishing
school and that our main
interests were in seeing how
many different social functions
we could attend " "The
quotations about middle-of-the-
week partying, said with tongue-
in-cheek, were taken seriously."

Another replied, "The article
made us sound 'man-hungry' "
Some students couldn't express
exactly why they were upset at
the article, but most gave a
consensus that it made Scott
seem like one big social
gathering Melinda Roberts
wanted to contribute but it was
"too early in the morning to have
an opinion " One of the most
articulate statements came from
a non-traditional student She
resented not so much the idea of
an article about the school's
social life, but the fact that they
had degraded the institution that
she so dearly loved and
respected for what it professed
into something so trite as a
bunch of little girls "playing"
under the name of a fine school

It seems that an article could
have been written about the
social life and, at the same time,
refer to it as an outlet, a natural
outlet, after a hard week's work
The author discounts the fact
that we're young and haven't
become so sedated as to be
content with every evening a
quiet one It's natural to want to
mingle with the opposite sex It's
not a time for "man-hunting",
but rather an opportunity to test
ones likes and dislikes and
weigh the qualities of other
personalities After all. isn't
college also a time to learn to get
along with the real world?

Hopefully, most of you will
agree that racial integration
and/or desegregation has many
wonderful, educational ad-
vantages, however, there are
those of us, who, from time to
time, are forced to recognize its
overall benefits. After all, were it
not for integration and better
communication between the
races, I would not be forced to
answer some of the annoying
questions frequently asked of
me.

And now, at the risk of soun-
ding militant and high-handed, I
propose to respond to some of
these annoying, overly frequent
questions, as best I can, for what
I hope will be the last time this
year. These are such questions
as

(1 ) Why does your skin look dus-
ty?

(2) Why can't you go swimming
every day?

(3) Do black people tan?

(4) Why do you put oil on your
hair?

(5) Isn't pressing your hair with
hot combs dangerous?

(6) Why don't you wear an afro?
These are just some of the

questions that try our "souls"
you know, "soul," like "rhythm,"
all black folks got it. I could go on
and on and on, but, after res-
ponding to thesequestions. time
and space do not permit it.
However, I do promise to be in a
good mood when this article
comes out, and I will respond to
any and all questions concern-

ing these matters, as best I can.
Now for my responses:

(1) My skin "looks dusty"
because I am a dark-skinned
black woman, which means that
the dryness of my skin is more
noticeable than that of one
whose skin color is lighter The
dustiness is dry, ashy skin, and it
appears particularly in winter
when my skin secretes less oil

(2) Because my skin is
naturally dry and my hair both
naturally curly (Kinky) and dry,
going swimming daily is tortur-
ing myself unnecessarily The
chlorinated water makes my hair
more brittle and further dries my
already dry skin

(3) Black people do tan, and it
hurts, darkens and peels just as
badly (though not as readily) as
those who tan themselves inten-
tionally. It might even be worse,
because we generally do not
need tanning.

(4) Normally Caucasian skin
and hair secrete more than
enough oil Black people's
bodies rarely secrete enough
Therefore, not only must I mois-
turize my skin regularly, but I oil
my scalp about once a week
Otherwise, I itch all over and my
hair falls out

(5) Many of us do press or
straighten our hair because
pressing it makes it more
manageable, easier to style and
comb, and removes much of the
unwanted natural curl Pres-
sing the process of straighten-
ing hair with hot metal combs

is not as dangerous as it appears
to my Caucasian friends It is a
safe, simple process which takes
time and experience, and the
combs are not as hot as they
seem

(6) And, to the many of you
who demand to know why I do
not wear an afro, I can only say
that hair styles are a matter of
personal preference I do oc-
casionally wear an afro,
sometimes out of the desire to
have one and sometimes,
because it rains and my natural
curl's response to the moisture
leaves me noalternative Braids,
cornrows, and plattes are all
nice hair styles, and they, too,
are matters of personal
preference

I hope I have satisfactorily
answered some of the questions
you may have concerning black
hair and skin If there are any
others please feel freetoask me.
and I will feel free, if I feel like it,
respond

I wish to thank you all for your
interest and Dacia Small. Cheryl

assisting me in the early stages

one take this article with too
much seriousness It is meant to

formative, so laugh and learn

Trustees to Meet

On January 26, the Board of
Trustees will assemble for their
winter quarter meeting Prior to
the meeting, the Board will meet
with various student leaders for
lunch at* 12 45 pm in the
President's Dining Hall Lunch
will be followed by an informal
discussion of school policies,
regulations, academics, and
other important questions
before the Board meets at 3 00
p m This policy of the Board of
Trustees meeting with faculty
and student members on
alternate meetings was
instigated last year in an effort to
have the Board hear the views
from the faculty and students

Queries

fcy T Lancaster

Last year, it seemed as if every
other week the maintainence
men were taking down, painting,
or putting up the hand rails that
garnish many of the stairs
around the campus. Perhaps
you thought the men were being
submitted to some unusually
cruel punishment of that the
campus owned an abundance of
hand rails and could not decide
which one should go where. Ac-
tually, the problem with the
hand rails was that they were
originally erected without the
proper application of protective
paint and had to be dismantled
for the painting

If you have a question about
why orwhat is going on at Agnes
Scott, please submit your ques-
tion to Box 291 THANKS!

If you have followed my
columns you may be wondering
why to date I have had very few
bad things to say about any of
the restaurants I've reviewed.
Well, up until now, most of the
places have been some of my
regular haunts I go there fairly
regularly so obviously I don't
have many complaints. That
trend stops here. Max' is not a
regular stop for me and I do not
plan to go back

When it first opened I
remember someone describing
Max' as having "western chic"
decor Harry calls it western tac-
ky! The lunch menu is not too
large but it has a good variety.
They have something called the
Magnificent Buffet ($4 25)
which is a glorified salad bar It is
very attractively arranged and
includes lettuce and spinach
salads, marinated vegetables,
cold cuts, oysters on the half-
shell, quiche wedges, fruit salad,
tuna and chicken salads and
believe it or not a huge bowl of
caviar For a salad freak like me it
was tempting but I wasn't
hungry enough for an all-you-
can-eat proposition They offer
five soups - cream of spinach,
black bean, clam chowder,
vichysoiss^ and gazpacho- at
$1 50 each There are three
different bunqers ($3 75),
omelettes ($3 50 3 75) crepes
($3 00-4 25) and rheese.

drawn are quite similar In both
graphs the solid lines indicate
the actual market value of the
endowment from 1967 to 1978
(as audited on June 30 of each
year)

In Graph 1 the dashed line in-
dicates what the 1967 en-
dowment should have been in
subsequent years in order to
keep abreast of inflation. Thus
the 1 967 endowment of
$26,994,844 was compounded
at the rates of the consumer
price index for the years shown
in the graph.

In Graph 2 the dashed line in-
dicates the ASC endowment
market value of each year
reduced by the declining value of
the dollar. Hence, the 1978 ac-
tual market value of
$38,325,429 was reduced by a
5.93% annual rate compounded
over eleven years to represent
an equivalent 1967 endowment
of $19,563,638 Stated another
way, the dashed line represents
the endowment in constant
(1967) dollars, using the con-
sumer price index as an estimate
of inflation.

Since the mid-1 950's the ASC
endowment's performance has
been linked to a considerable

extent with the performance of
Coca Cola stock prices Both the
stock price as well as en-
dowment market value in-
creased markedly from the
1950s to the late 1960s and
during 1971 and 1972. On the
other hand, during the dozen
years encompassed by the
graphs, the compounded annual
rates of increase for Coca Cola
stock prices, for the endowment
market value, and for inflation
were 3.46%, 3 24%, and 6.3%
respectively.

The graphs indicate that the
market value of the endowment
performed better than inflation
in the years 1968, 1971, and
1972. The market values
performed worse than inflation
in 1969, 1970, 1974, 1975.
1976, 1977, and 1978. The com-
pounded inflationary effects are
quite notable from 1974 to
1978

Inflation can have quite
adverse consequences for any
institution in society Most
colleges follow a "no-capital-ac-
cumulation philosophy " More
inflation means that these
institutions will have less and
less

blintzes ($3 25) The desserts
($1 50} include apple pie,
cheesecake and chocolate
mousse plus a few others.

We should have gotten the
hint that things were going
downhill when the host was
rude and very slow in seating us,
especially considering less than
half of the restaurant was full
Once we were seated the nice
touch of the fresh flower
arrangement on each table was
dimmed somewhat by no nap-
kins and an indifferent waiter
As we ordered drinks, he told us
that all the beer was
warm smiled and offered no
explanation For a "class
operation" that seemed poor
planning I ended up ordering a
Bloody Mary ($2 30) and it was
made with Clamato (clam and
tomato juice) or something but I
wasn't sure When I asked the
waiter what kind of juice it was
made from, he said he did not
know He didn't offer to check on
it and had an obvious "don't
bother me" attitude.

Since neither of us was too
hungry. I ordered soup and Harry
had a burger He ordered the
Different Burger which was sup-
posedly a 1 /2 pound of ground
sirloin with lettuce, Monterrey
Jack cheese, onion, avocado and
a blue cheese sauce on the side
The burger tasted OK, nothing
more The lettuce was a bad,
white stalk that I would have
thrown away. The onion slice
was at least one inch thick
which is a little too large, I think,
and the avocado was put on the
plate with the peel intact

I had the black bean soup and
am glad to say it was nearly the
only salvation That didn't go un-
tarnished either though as it
was garnished with an old. very
dull slice of lemon and served
with plain old saltine crackers
Yuk But underneath it all the
soup was good and tasty I must
admit- as good as my own
homemade

The food was very, very slow
in coming but luckily the check
wasn't The total tab for lunch
came to $10 25 (including two
drinks at $2 30 each)

Afterwards we walked a few
steps down the way to the
Cookie Store for a chocolate chip
cookie We bought 1/4 pound
for 750 and after one each the
rest went directly into the trash
can The cookies were like dried
paste and it just seemed to be
one of those days What a
bummer!

Overall the Omni including
Mimi's and Burt's Place has a
reputation for being bland food
at inflated prices I whole-
heartedly agree, so next time
you are in the area - STARVE

Buttrick Nears Completion

Faculty Prepare for Annual Retreat

In 1 930, during the month of
September, Buttrick Hall opened
its doors for the first time. The
1929-30 catalog promised that
"The building will be four stories
in height and will be constructed
of reinforced concrete, brick and
limestone, with a roof of antique
tile It will contain the ad-
ministrative offices, committee
rooms, faculty offices, space for
student activities, and 36 clas-
srooms " For over 40 years the
building has fulfilled its mission

Last year it was decided to re-
juvenate the aging building. The
"new Buttrick" will theoretically
fulfill the promises made in
1930 by utilizing the technical
k n o w ledge and the
conveniences of the seventies
The warmth and flavor of the
past will remain intact

The olden wooden desks are
being refinished to match the
wood of the door frames, and
many of the slate blackboards
have been saved The second
and third floors will be carpeted
in earth tones: rust in the clas-
srooms and brown in the offices
For the most part, the off ices will
remain the same, although
some of the smaller offices have
been enlarged by knocking down
walls The same, heavy wooden
desks will be used.

The second and third floors
will also be heated and air con-
ditioned on a unit system This
system works with blocks of
rooms, rather than entire floors,
so that only those rooms being
used are heated The new light
ing system is also energy-
conscious The lighting will be
on three levels of brightness a
high level for dark and gloomy

days, a low level for sunny days,
and an intermediate level.

The basement is being com-
pletely redone The post office
and bookstore will remain in the
basement of the dining haW.Jhe
ground floor of Buttrick will have
a film projection room with
theatre seats on risers. It will
have a built-in sound system and
an enclosed projection room.
The language lab will be
downstairs, including an office
for Ms Hilsenrad, along with
several seminar rooms

The new Buttrick will not be
off limits to the handicapped
The elevator will be designed for
everyone's use. A restroom will
be provided for the wheelchair-
bound, and plans for a chair-lift
over the lower level steps are on
file

So far, everything from the re-
wiring to the new carpeting is
still under construction It is
hoped that the doors will open
spring quarter, but it is still too
early to set a definite date

LADYHOUSE

Continued from page 1
summer at the end of World War
I A bitter-sweet drama, the play
focuses on the Madden familyof
a mother and four grown
daughters living in a world
without men

Atlanta theatre reviewer Sally
V Daniel described the
Blackfriars' production of the
play as "quite wonderful
theater" as one "watches the
women struggle and grow in
their relationships with one
another, rollicking with laughter
at each other's frail human
foibles and shouting their rage at
God whose mysterious ways
cannot be understood "

On January 27 and 28, the
Agnes Scott faculty will meet at
Pine Isle, Ga , for their third an-
nual faculty retreat. The theme
of this year's retreat is "Where
the college is going in the next
five years." Four areas of dis-
cussion will be the freshman
year, student life outside the
classroom, admission and
enrollment, and the nature and
purpose of the college. The last
area is a general topic which
evolved out of the other three
areas

This year's retreat is different
from past years in that the topic
has been opened up to the
faculty in advance of the retreat.
A 53-page paper was prepared

and sent to faculty members on
January 8. The purpose of the
paper was to insure more dis-
cussion in the four discussion
sessions taking place. These
sessions will be conducted in a
"Town Hall Meeting" style with
a moderator and group dis-
cussion.

The theme of the retreat and
paper came out of a concern of
the Committee for the Future of
the College. This committee is
headed by Mr Behan and con-
sists of seven members: Mr
Byrnside, Ms Cabisius, Mr
Cochran, Ms. Shaw, Ms McGee
and Mr Leslie

Last winter three faculty

groups were established to
study the three specific areas to
be discussed These committees
met independently and sub-
mitted their material to the main
committee This material was
then used to write the paper for
this year's retreat.

The main purpose of the
retreat is to maintain com-
munication among the faculty,
keep the college and its faculty
up to date and to help innovate
fresh ideas Mr. Behan feels the
emphasis should be placed on
faculty retreat and the *m
portance of their participation in
writing the paper and in dis-
cussion

Black Students Celebrate
Month of February

Lectures, Gospel Concert
Highlight Black History Week

Two black women a college
professor and a television an-
chorwoman will speak and
several Atlanta gospel choirs
will sing during Black History
Week, Feb 5-9, at Agnes Scott
College. Sponsored by Students
for Black Awareness, the lec-
tures and the gospel concert will
be open to the public, free of
charge

Ms Gloria Gayles, an English
professor at Talladega College.
Talladega, Ala., will speak Tues-
day, Feb 6, on "Black and
Woman: A Study of Black
Women in Selected Novels
Written by Black Women, 1 946-
1976." Her lecture is at 815
p.m. in Presser Hall.

Ms Jocelyn Dorsey, award-
winning anchorwoman for
WSB-TV in Atlanta, will speak
oh "Blacks in the News Media"
Friday, Feb. 9, at 11:30 a.m. in
Presser Hall. Ms. Dorsey
produces and anchors the
weekend noon Action News on
Channel 2 and works as a
general reporter for all other
WSB newscasts.

For Gospel Night at Agnes
Scott, Thursday, Feb. 8,
performances will be given by
the St. Paul Lutheran Chancel
Choir and the Union Baptist
Gospel Singers, as well as other
choirs yet to be announced. The
gospel concert will begin at 8:1 5
p.m. in Presser Hall.

Ms. Gayles, a doctoral student

in English at Emory University,
will base her talk on information
she has researched for her
dissertation on "the impact that
race and sex have on the reality
of black women in America as
treated in black novels by black
women," she explained in a
recent telephone interview.

She said she became
interested in the portrayal of
black women in literature by
black women "first of all
because I am black and female,
and then from having my
consciousness raised by the
Women's Movement during the
'70s and from courses on
women's history that I studied at
Emory "

"I found through taking the
women's history courses that
there is very little information
available about black women. I
hope to help fill this void."

As a graduate student, Ms.
Gayles has been the recipient of
a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship
and a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities
Before studying at Emory she
taught at Morehouse College
from 1970 to 1974.

Ms. Dorsey has received
several awards for her news
reporting. In 1975 she was
named Media Woman of the
Year by the National Association
of Media Women. Associated
Press and United Press
International cited her for her ef-

forts in WSB television's year-
long "Operation Education"
program for which she produced
mini-documentaries on illiteracy
and on school discipline.

Ms. Gayles, also, is familiar
with illiteracy and school dis-
cipline, for she taught in a
Freedom School in Valley View,
Miss , during the 1960s She
was active in the Civil Rights
Movement in Atlanta and Bos-
ton, also, and her essays on the
movement have appeared in
"Atlantic Monthly'' and
"Liberator "

Besides being a scholar and
teacher, Ms. Gayles is a poet
who "writes poems from a
feminist perspective." Her
poems have been published in
"Essence," "Black Scholar" and
"First World."

Each year the Students for
Black Awareness at Agnes Scott
College assist the college com-
munity in the observance of
"Black History Week." However,

Studio Dance Presents Kids' Show

If you're one of these
"mature" Agnes Scott com-
munity members who is still
young at heart, you have a real
treat in store for you on
Thursday, February 8, at 11:30
a.m. in Gaines Chapel. The
Agnes Scott College Studio
Dance Theatre will present their
annual Kid's Show, which is
designed especially for
audiences ages three to eleven,
but is open to the entire campus
community and local elementary

schools. The performance will
include material adapted from
previous SDT spring concerts
with choreography by students
as well as Director Marylin
Darling.

The program will open with a
take-off of a chorus line on the
opening night of a big show com-
plete with sequins, feathers, and
tap shoes. "Les Bouffons"
showcases two clowns who
have a grand time just "clown-
ing around." A favorite of the

younger children, "Animals" is
built around an Old MacDonald-
type storyline.

From last year's spring
concert, that ever popular goofy
basketball team will return for
an encore in "Electrodribblers."
The grand finale features the
characters from "Star Wars,"
complete with Artoo Detoo and
See-Threepio. So, for a most en-
joyable and amusing morning,
come see what a real Kid's Show
is all about

Just Browsing: Metropolitan Life

By Ginni Rockwell

All other things being equal,
winter quarter is rather awful
Students wander from
overheated building to
overheated building through the
rain, a flat, opaque look in their
eyes. On occasion one seeks
shelter from the storm in the
library. I myself was driven into
the library last week, ostensibly
for the purpose of working on my
independent study. I say osten-
sibly because once inside the
library, I began to exhibit the
various symptoms of avoidance
behavior. I flipped through last
year's annual, conveniently
located just insidethe libraryen-
trance I examined the new book
shelf, also conveniently located
just inside the door and to your
left There I checked out a slim

A Shot of Penicillin

Apathy is a catch-all term. All
inactive groups, organizations,
and institutions are diagnosed
as carrying that dreadful disease
of "Apathy" We use the word
loosely, we aren't sure what it is
but we are sure of what it is not.
On this campus, profs accuse
the students of being apathetic,
students accuse profs of being
apathetic, we all accuse each
other of being apathetic

Since one of the Profile's main
purposes is to announce the
news, we are proud to an-
nounce, "Genuine Concern has
burst the apathetic chrysalis." A
group of industrious faculty
members under the banner of
"The Committee on the Future of
the College" has presented a
report entitled, The Next Five
Years This report boldly sum-
marizes their general ideas for
redefining or clarifying the
purpose of this institution and
subsequently discusses the in-
consistencies that arise due to
the currently anachronistic
statement of our purpose.

Due to the fact that this report
is fifty three pages in length we
are unable to repeat in detail the
propositions that are raised
However, in order to whet your
appetite a few excerpts read as
follows Until recently the
purpose of this college was
perceived to be to educate
women so that they "might
leave Scott and enter their

proper places in Southern
Society as wives of prominent
men, capable of intelligent
conversation and of responsible
participation in civic activities"
We all know that this role is
commendable, but it is only one
among many options that are
available to a woman graduate
But are we being prepared to
seek after the other options. The
report deals with this question
and proposes thought-provoking
answers. "The College should
push hard for being the college
in the South where young
women go to prepare
themselves for the best and
brightest careers " Questions
concerning pressure, res-
ponsibility, student faculty
interaction, lack of community,
isolation of campus from the real
world and others are addressed
in the report Strangely enough,
many of the problems that the
students on campus mumble
about are precisely addressed in
this report The Committee fairly
touched upon our concerns
about our environment and
present positive suggestions
about change

CHANGE That's another word
that you have heard a lot about
And you have most probably
heard that your participation is
needed So, the Profile inviterJ
the student body of Agnes Scott
to read this report and to submit
in writing all reactions to the

proposed innovations of the
Committee Copies will be
available at the reserve desk in
the Library The Committee has
taken the initiative to formulate
concrete ideas and it is now our
responsibility to precipitate a
response. Readers will be
surprised by the genuine
concern as well as the radical
ideas detailed in this report.

All letters will be welcomed
We do ask that they are double
spaced typed or written legibly
Please place all letters in box
764 by noon Monday February 5
All responses will appear in the
February 12th edition of the
paper.

Queries

This week Queries will delve
in a subject a little deeper than
what happens to the hot water at
7:30 in the morning. During
January 17 through the 19 a
phenomenon called Jr Jaunt
occurred on this campus You
may have missed it. Many
people avoided participation in
any form. A token few even went
out to eat refusing to pay 50C on
Thursday night for an extra
special dinner Junior Jaunt was
originated as the only campus
wide fund raising charity
function for the entire school
year The charity this year was
for the Mountainview Rest
Home This Home is maintained
strictly through donations; they
receive no state or federal fund-
ing. There were seven different
fund-raising activities during the
three day period. Two of the ac-
tivities, the movie and the dance,
made no money at all due to lack
of participation Junior Jaunt
made $650 OOtotal. that'sabout
$1 per person on this campus. It
seems that the students are not
interested in really raising
money for the Rest Home and
they are not participating in the
activities which could bring
about campus fellowship and a
good time My question is Who
benefits 7

volume on existential
psychology, although I have
never read nor studied psych a
day in my life. I guess I thought
the word "existential" was to be
equated with "survival." Moving
right along in search of things to
do other than work, I redis-
covered the browsing section.
There I found row upon row of
bright and shiny new books,
Everything I Always Wanted to
Read But Never Had Time for
During the Quarter. One little
tome caught my eye:
Metropolitan Life, a book of es-
says by Fran Lebowitz

Fran Lebowitz writes for
Mademoiselle and Andy
Warhol's Interview Born and
bred in New Jersey, she now
lives in New York, where she
goes about the business of
deflating fads and egos alike
with her rather acidic pen
Metroplitan Life is divided into
five sections: My Day An In-
troduction of Sorts, Manners,
Science, Arts, and Letters. Read-
ing the table of contents alone is
good for a small chuckle. The
titles are a clue to the wit to be
found in her essays: "Vocational
Guidance for the Truly Am-

bitious," "Disco Hints The New
Etiquette," "The Right of
Eminent Domain Versus the
Rightful Dominion of the
Eminent," "Plants: The Root of
All Evil," and "The Word Lady:
Most Often Used to Describe
Someone You Wouldn't Want to
Talk to for Even Five Minutes."
Although most of us are hardly
what disco singers would call
"Native New Yorkers,"
Lebowitz's essays are as
pertinent to collegiate (some
would say convent) life as they
are to metropolitan life.

For instance, the essay on
"The Word Lady . " struck me
as being appropriate reading for
Agnes Scott students, many of
whose mothers strove diligently
for years to teach their
daughters the difference
between a woman and a Lady.
"Pretty Is as Pretty Does" is one
pithy phrase on Ladyhood that is
hung up in my own head, sam-
pler-wise, in cross-stitch.
Lebowitz corrects the misuses of
the word Lady and carefully
delineates its uses For example,
in her precise definition of the

LETTERS....

Dear Editor:

I would like to comment upon
Emily's article, namely "From a
Black," published in the No 10

I belong to SBA and I do not
think its members will mind for I
hope they consider me as a
friend, and a sincere one.

Racism is a serious matter but
I agree with the black people
who try to defend their rights
with humor for it is a first step to
communication However, I did
not laugh at the reading of
Emily's article for Ifound itstone
rather harsh, not to say bitter. I
must admit that I may have taken
it too personally for I live on
Emily's corridor and must
certainly have already alluded to
almost all the points discussed
in her article However, if I did so,
it was only because I was
interested by and concerned for
her. I am sorry, but black women
are physically different from me,
as French women are
traditionally different from you
all I am myself often asked if all
French girls have short brown
hair and green eyes It is
laughable, I know, but true!

Emily, you are black and this is
nothing to be ashamed or proud
of; it is just a fact, like saying that
I am French is another. So
please, do not feel hurt when
someone like me asks you a
question relative to your being
black because I do not make any
difference between black,
yellow, or white, when I love

Your "foreign" friend.

to you all

Dear Editor

The Board of Student Ac

tivities would like to clear up

some recent misconceptions

about the school calendar that
have come to our attention. The
calendar, which now sells in the
bookstore for fifty cents, used to
be a project sponsored by the
Athletic Association Since one
of the functions of B.S.A is to
coordinate the calendar for the
school, we took the job of
printing the calendar for the
students As rookies, we were
very unsure about how to make
the calendar useful, accurate,
and inexpensive. We decided to
make the calendar a quarterly
one so that it would be small
enough to carry in notebooks
and more accurate and up to
date than in previous years. As
everyone knows, the cost of the
printing is always rising and so
must our prices. Many freshmen
have mentioned that they were
given a full quarter calendar;
however, Orientation Council
paid for them.

It has also been mentioned
that many students miss the pic-
tures that were a big part of the
A A calendar. We too miss the
pics but printing costs almost
double when that feature is
added. We have thought about
selling blocks of space to
students, faculty and staff for
Happy Birthday, Anniversary,
etc messages but we could
benefit greatly from your ideas. If
we are to continue printing a
calendar, we want to print one
that suits you. If there are things
about it that you door do not like,
please drop a note in Box 359 It
is a difficult task to chase board
chairmen around the campus
trying to get accurate dates of
events to pass on to you We
want to make that work worth it!

Thanks,

Epicurean's Delight

By Penny Rush Wistrand
Arigatoh

270 Ponce de Leon, Atlanta,
874-0319

Lunch Monday-Friday 1 1 a.m.
- 3 p.m.

Dinner Monday-Thursday 5 -
10 p.m Friday-Saturday 5-11

p.m.

The best way to describe this
restaurant is a hole in the wall.
Located directly across the
street from the Krispy Kreme
and right next door to a liquor
store on Ponce de Leon, you
must really look for Arigatoh or
you'll miss it. But, believe me, it
is worth the search.

The interior is plain and small
with about eight booths seating
a total of maybe twenty persons.
There is usually only one
waitress and she always seems
frazzled and overworked and one
cook in about the same shape.
Their English is not very good, so
communication is sometimes
strained both ways. So plan a
trip to Arigatoh when you are not
in a hurry and just leisurely en-
joy what is described as down
ho-me Japanese cooking.

There were five of us lunching
recently so we tried to vary our
choices Two of the dishes we
ordered were Yakimeshi which
is rice fried with a variety of
vegetables and egg. Jack Nelson
ordered the shrimp yakimeshi
($3.25) and Paul Frame had the
chicken version ($2 75)
Although both got essentially
the same dish I think the shrimp
dish was a little tastier but both
were good. They also offer the
yakimeshi with pork or beef.
Connie Jones had the Beef
Shogayaki ($3.25), beef and
mushrooms sauteed in ginger
sauce This was spicy and really
wonderful Harry ordered the
Pork Yakisoba ($2 75) which is
fried noodles with a variety of
vegetables and choice of meat
(shrimp, pork, beef or a com-
bination all priced accordingly). I
vacillated before finally choos-
ing the Gyoza Rice ($2.95),

ground meat and chopped
vegetables wrapped in a thin
dough then fried and served with
a dip sauce, stir-fried vegetables
and steamed rice. To Chinese
food freaks you will recognize
this dish as similar to pot-
stickers or dumplings.

We all agreed that all the
meals were very good and tasty
there wasn't a disgruntled
soul in the bunch but I believe
that the Beef Shogayaki and
Gyoza Rice were the overall
favorites. Each entree is served
with a small iceberg lettuce
salad in a soy sauce based tangy
dressing. They also offer egg
drop, seaweed and bean soups
(600 each). Harry tried the egg
drop which was good with a very
rich broth Paul was adven-
turesome and ordered seaweed
soup and it was abominable.
Maybe it is something you ac-
quire a taste for but I thought it
was the foulest tasting stuff I
have ever had. The beverage
offerings include hot or iced tea,
beer and a few wines.

Due tothe fact that it is such a
small establishment eachdish is
cooked fresh when you order it.
Therefore the five of us got
served sporadically. One dish
came and then 3 or 4 minutes
later another meal or two
showed up, then a few minutes
later another dish arrived, etc.
It's no big deal to me but it is
worth noting. Usually two
persons get served about the
same time but it is difficult to
feed a group all at once with only
one cook.

I read recently that Arigatoh is
one of Natalie Dupree's favorite
restaurants. Ms. Dupree is the
renowned head of Rich's cook-
ing school and one of Atlanta's
food experts. She knows her
food, so that really is an en-
dorsement. I enthusiastically
add my two cents. I've been eat-
ing Japanese food somewhat
regularly for about 4 or 5 years
and this is the best I have found
(especially for the price)

Nikolais Dance
Theatre To
Appear At Fox

Modern dance will dazzle
Atlanta audiences when the
Nikolais Dance Theatre presents
its unique display of color and
motion on Saturday, February
17. On the stage of the
magnificent Fox Theatre, this
extraordinary company will give
one performance only at 8:30
p.m.

Alwin Nikolais is generally
recognized as a pioneer in the
world of multi-media dance
theater. His company's previous
appearance in Atlanta was in
March of 1 977 when they played
to a sold-out house in Symphony
Hall. Their upcoming
performance will include two
recent premiere works, "Cast-
ings," and "Gallery," as well as
"Suite from Sanctum," which is
one of their most popular pieces.
Tickets are available at all
SEATS locations.

Premiered on April 20, 1978
in New York City, "Castings"
portrays the ten dancers as
machine parts. Encased in
silvery costumes, they perform
in couples atop different sized
pedestals that become their
stages "Castings" has a brevity
and sharpness that is stunning
as the groups of dancers rock
back and forth in gymnastic pos-
tures, joined by metal-like rods
that accentuate their piston-like
movements.

"Gallery," which was also
premiered last April, is
characteristic of Alwin Nikolais'
elaborate lighting and costumes
that turn the dancers into in-
triguing abstract forms. First the
dancers are seen as dolls bob-
bing up and down like targets in
a shooting gallery. The second
part of "Gallery" shows them
encased in huge pink sacks that
bounce and stretch like bubble
gum.

Closing the evening will be
"Suite from Sanctum." This is a
free and open dance piece that
uses the whole company and
presents a world of marvels and

whimsy with jersey costumes and can be charged over the

that change shape with the dart-
ing dancers inside them.

Tickets for the incredible
Nikolais Dance Theatre are
available at all SEATS locations

Propaganda Films Shown

The Agnes Scott College Film
Series will present two famous
propaganda films Sunday, Feb.
4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Dana Fine
Arts Building at Agnes Scott
The films are "Triumph of the
Will" (1934-36), a German film
directed by Leni Riefenstahl, and
excerpts from "Intolerance"
(1916), a silent film about the
South directed by D. W. Griffith

Admission is $1 00.

"Triumph of the Will," filmed
at a Nazi Party rally in
Nuremberg in 1934, is a
staggering example of the power
of cinematic propaganda. It is
described as being "modeled on
Wagnerian music drama with
Hitler as the hero." The dialogue
is in German wihh English sub-
titles

A. A.'s Answer To
The Winter Quarter Blues

By Lisa DeGrandi

Has winter quarter got you
down? Have those dark, dreary
days suppressed your desire to
live? Fear not for A A. has come
up with a list of events to get you
on your feet again. No we are not
starting a campus-wide cocktail
hour. Instead our goal is to have
fun and get in shape for bikini
weather. Journeys to the top of
the Hub are sneaking up on us so
get ready.

To begin with, basketball
season has just begun. Practices
are on Monday and Wednesday
afternoons from 4:00 to 6 00
p.m Games will be on Tuesday
nights so keep posted because
we need your support Soccer
will also be offered this winter. It
will be coached by Dr Brown
and practices will be on Tuesday
and Thursday afternoons from
4:30 to 5:30 p.m. This year
soccer skills will be taught Next
year it will be intercollegiate

Now for those who would en-
joy individual sports activities,
A A is sponsoring a Jog-A-
Thon. It will be a competition
between dorms beginning Mon-
day, January 22nd Each
participant marks off on a large
poster located in the gym how

many miles or so they have
jogged The mileage will be
marked off in increments of a
fourth of a mile. This way you
can build up your stamina if you
cannot jog the whole mile. May I
warn you not to overstrain your
body if you are not in shape. The
mileage distance for this Jog-A-
Thon will be equivalent to the
distance from Atlanta to
Daytona Beach. The first dorm to
complete this distance wins the
competition. If you think in terms
of beach, bikinis and surfer boys,
its amazing how you can stick to
a jogging schedule.

So you say you just want to
slim down and not build up mus-
cles? We have also thought of
that too. A A will host two
exercise classes per week
These classes are held Monday
and Thursday nights at 6:30 in
the Tap Room, located in the
basement of the gym These
exercises are not strenuous but
are intended to reduce stomach
hip and thighs. Now close your
eyes and at the time of "Surfer
Girl" envision yourself on the
beach catching the rays next to
Frankie Avalon and hearing
Annette yelling "Shark!" See
you there!

New Course Features Guest Theologian

ASC Offers New Scholarship

By Melanie Best

A special course offered spr-
ing quarter will provide a new
perspective on the Bible, biblical
history, and contemporary
theological problems. And the
instructor will be a guest of the
college.

Reverend Joyce Tucker, as-
sociate pastor at Marietta's John
Knox Presbyterian Church,
received an invitation from
Professor Sheats of the Bible
and Religion Department to
teach a seminar titled "Theology
as Story " The course aims to
garner real theological
substance from the narratives in
both the Old and New Tes-
taments.

Rev Tucker looks forward to
this experience which
represents her first official
teaching job in a college clas-
sroom Through Bible studies
and Sunday School she has
done a lot of adult teaching her
impressive academic
background means that she en-
joys instructing at this level.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of
Duke, she received an M A. from
Yale in Religion and a Master of
Divinity degree from Decatur's

Columbia Seminary On the
academic side of her field, Rev.
Tucker's primary interest lies
with the Old Testament

Rev Tucker is the kind of
amazing woman who must be a
wonderful role model for her
children, ages 7 and 9. Working
on a three-quarter time basis for
John Knox Church, she
undertakes all the myriad,
expected duties of a minister:
preaching, counseling, ad-
ministrating, conducting wed-
dings and funerals

ADVANCE Yields Results

Last November 9th, 151
prospective students crowded
our campus for the ADVANCE
sponsored by the Admissions
Office and the Student Ad-
missions Representatives. Now,
the work involved for the AD
VANCE is really beginning to pay
off As of January 8, 29 of the
127 seniors attending the AD-
VANCE have applied.

Last year, of the 133 high
school seniors, 94 (71 %) applied
to ASC Of those, 61 (46%)
enrolled ADVANCE participants
made up 41% of this year's
freshman class

Ninety Student Admissions
Reps hosted this year's group
Prospective students came from
14 different states and 1 foreign
country Sixty-three (43%) of our

students were from the greater
Atlanta area. One hundred
(68%) of the students were from
Georgia.

In order to generate more ap-
plications, the Student Ad-
missions Representatives are
writing and calling students who
attended the ADVANCE. The
SAR spring quarter project will
be to sponsor Applicants'
Weekend scheduled for April.

The success of the ADVANCE

words it, is the great advantage
Agnes Scott women can reap
from contact with Rev. Tucker.
She does manage to keep up
with her family her husband is
a lawyer and in fact regards
them as a definite asset to her
career. Dealing with her own,
sometimes complicated, family
situations gives her more in
common with the women she
deals with. Both formally and in-
formally, Rev. Tucker counsels
career women who
simultaneously keep up a full
household. One of her proud
achievements has been the
organizing of a four-day a week
"Mother's Morning Out" at the
church, a service to those in-
volved in jobs and/or classes

We look forward to this new
face and new personality on
campus spring quarter.

By Sharon Maitland

An addition to the college en-
dowment has recently been
made in the form of a $50,000
gift from Mrs. Paul Anderson of
Atlanta. The former Marion
Franklin, 40, gave the gift to be
used as a scholarship fund.

The Rufus C. and Wynie
Coleman Franklin Memorial
Scholarship Fund was
designated for students from
Emanuel County where Mrs
Anderson grew up. There are
currently no girls enrolled from
this area but Mrs Anderson
hopes that the scholarship will
be an incentive to prospective
students

The scholarship will provide a
total sum of $3,000 a year to be

distributed as the college sees
fit This means that a student
from Emanuel County, showing
promise of achievement at
Agnes Scott, may be awarded
the sum.

Should there be more than
one student eligible for the
scholarship, the college will
make a decision on how to divide
the sum for that year. This
scholarship is not given on a
basis of need. If the $3,000 is not
used one year, it may be added to
the next year's allotment The
scholarship is not only for in-
coming freshmen but for
members of all classes, as long
as they meet the residence re-
quirement.

Summer Study in Africa

By Sharon Maitland

Crossroads, a non-profit
organization is currently seeking
applications for a summer Work -
Study-Travel program in Africa
The program is structured to
provide students with cross-
cultural exchange and
understanding. The program is
open to college students and
professionals

The work aspect of the session
includes a six week stay in a
rural African village. A group of
Americans, professional leaders
and African volunteers will be
involved in physical labor such
as digging, building, and hauling
materials to help build up rural
areas Living will be in village
community fashion, coping with
the underdevelopment of rural
Africa Crossroads
acknowledges that communal
living is intense Americans will
be from diverse backgrounds
and they will share in living res-
ponsibilities

Work projects vary according
to an applicant's preference
Some examples of areas of
concentration are agricultural
development, health education,
clinical medical services,
photography of historical and
traditional monuments, art. oral

history, archaelogical digging,
compensatory education, and
tutorial work.

The travel aspect of the
summer program includes two
weeks of venturing into areas of
countries in Africa infrequently
visited by tourists Using local
transportation, the group will
experience the rich cultural
lifestyles that make up Africa.

The setting for study will be
formal and intense orientation at
Princeton University, as well as
informal work camp experience
The essential goals of the Cros-
sroads program are "for in
dividuals to develop an
understanding of the com-
plexities of the community
development process, to ap-
preciate the infinite web of
social, political and economic
considerations that bear on the
success or failure of any com-
munity undertaking, and to
formulate the appropriate ques-
tions necessary for the solution
of community problems "

All Crossroads programs seek
to stimulate thinking about
relevant issues of
underdeveloped countries and
their effects on all people

Qualifications for application
are few There is a desire for

technical skills as well as a great
need for persons with a
background in French. Arabic or
various African languages

The philosophy of Crossroads
is of a serious nature It is a
volunteer oriented program. Ap-
plicants who are accepted by
Crossroads must pay a
participation fee of $1 .700. This
fee covers all necessary living
expenses including travel from
Princeton to Africa and return to
New York

It is possible, although not
guaranteed, that academic
credit may be awarded for
participation in this program
Dean Gary strongly advises that
an interested student obtain
more information from Cros-
sroads before making any
decisions Dean Gary also states
that an Agnes Scott student
must be prepared to involve
herself in extensive work within
a department and with a
departmental chairman to
formulate and present a satis-
factory program to the college. A
special study of this kind must
meet the approval of the college
Interested students may obtain
information request forms and

Mortar Board, the Senior
Class president, Interform
chairman and a Profile reporter
spent a lively afternoon with the
Board of Trustees After
ex; .uust'ng the topic of alcoholic
beverages on campus, we all
realized that the compromise
policy now before the Student
Affairs Committee of the Board
was devised to meet with some
mythical expected response
from the Trustees But at this
meeting it became apparent that
these Board members, more
liberal and a great deal less
formidable than their image pro-
jects. would not have
automatically and unanimously
rejected the original R C calling
for an open drinking policy
mirroring state law

My point is that second gues-
sing someone else's opinions or
intentions inhibits the open
exchange of ideas and may slow
the process of change in all
areas of the college where
change might be desirable

The Trustees are an im-
pressive body of individuals Be-

January 20 Since the number
who could attend the workshop
was necessarily limited, a sign
up sheet was posted with 20
openings The sheet was quickly
filled with the signatures of 20
students I think it was natural
for Peggy Pfeiffer. who was in
charge of the workshop, to as
sump that each signature
represented a desire to
participate as well as a com

mittment to be there Nine

morning few had called to Ray
I hat they would not he able to
attend There were others who
would have liked to have been
there I think the point is obvious
Now, granted, in a situation such
as our where time is extremely
valuable and we are never quite
sure what we will be doing from
day to day. things come up and
plans change However, if these
changes affect a previous com
mittment. we need to let people
know! I say this not to dis
courage people from participat-
ing in events, far from it. only
that we need to keep in mind just
exactly what a signature

realized that a "fellow Scottie"
had such obdurate ideas about

letter were not only illogical but
contradicting

points in the letter to the Editor

their rights with humor It is not

Dear Editor

As a sophomore member of
Honor Court I was especially
interested in the discussion of
Scott's honor system presented
in the faculty report. "The Next
Five Years " Analysis of the
honor code is. like most of the
paper, done in terms of the
Gemeinschaft (magisterial)
college model and the
Gesellschaft (collegial) model
the intended ob|ect is to
determine the position of Agnes
Scott on the continuum between
the two Complete continuum
however, exists only when the
end-points are true extremes,
and this. I do not believe, is the
case Though the Gemeinschaft
is pictured at its worst as an
excessively restrictive system
which strangles students,
faculty, and administrators, the
Gesellschaft concept is not
extended similarly, the con-
tinuum stops short at a point
where the Gesellschaft is still a
rosy, open community which en-
courages optimum individuality
Such a situation is more of a
"happy medium" than an
extreme; collegiality at its
furthest point becomes not res
ponsible freedom but unres

foreign affairs this happening
won't count for much, but it does
register as a top newsmaker in
this city's recent history

The news media amounted to
one-fifth of this audience; they
were given the prime seats

at the Peachtree Plaza Hotel. For
a trip such as this one. symbolic

her so the Mayor was making
a plea for reconsideration "Our
airport will soon be the world's
busiest." he boasted and Teng
turned to Congressman Wyche
Fowler, inquiring. "Is that so
good?"

Although a consulate does not
seem likely, the most important
accomplishment of this brief
visit would be convincing the
Chinese of Atlanta's lucrative
business opportunities Once
convinced, they will return to

Love

As you may know the day after tomorrow is Valentine s Day
If you have been in the bookstore then you have seen the neal
piles of cards on display begging to be purchased and dropped
in the mail The cards don't seem to be as drippy, sugary swoot
as they have been in the past, but if you have seen one Valen
tine's card you have seen them all There is always a heart For
forty ninecents you can send all of your love that has refused to
manifest itself before now A good bargain is always ap
preciated

Then there are always the baskets of flowers What would
the day be without the FTD man wearing down the steps of
Main with armloads of dyed carnations? The big rush on
flowers and cards is rather like Easter Sunday or Christmas
when the minister is awed at the throngs who are cramming
the pews in order to get their annual injection of salvation
Instead this day is spent cramming our hearts with love It all
comes down to one day. our yearly injection of love

The flowers wither in a few days and fall into the garbage
can still blazing with orange dye They had their injection also
The cards may get tucked into a scrap book of memories
February 15 follows as just another day

And what do we have left? Valentine's Day is a day to
celebrate love It should not be set aside for feigned devotion,
empty gestures, and seldom kept promises Love must bo
remembered as a force for it can make our hearts bloom in this
world or wither like the dyed, orange carnations

Queries

by T Lancaster

As you probably know, the
Trans-Scott Pipeline is being
reconstructed because of an-
cient and broken pipes The
steam rising from the ground
was not from hell as one might
have thought There have been
other complications involved
with the "steam incident " The
steam also crept into the crawl
spaces above a couple of the
date parlors in Winship The ceil-
ing absorbed the moisture from
the steam and had to be removed

before it "removed" somebody
New ceilings can not be installed
until the pipes are repaired and
the ceiling area has time to dry
out

P S I have noticed that many
of the queries I receive are in

Note-Taking Habits Scrutinized

Letters, con't. from p. 2

behavior The which can ensue" (page 23). The

An important factor in getting
good grades in college is your
ability to take clear, well-
organized class notes. Listening
carefully to the instructor's lec-
ture and writing down the im-
portant points is the key to
successful notetaking The
process of listening and writing
at the same time will also help
you understand A few basic
techniques can help.

The purpose of class notes is
to record the instructor's lesson
in a manner that will allow you to
review and understand the
material afterwards Your objec-
tive, therefore, is to outline the
main and supporting ideas and
facts to that they are clear and
understandable

Write rapidly in your own form
of shorthand Don't try to take
down everything - keep to the
main points Develop your own
style of abbreviating and
condensing the important data
Some people leave out vowels,
for instance, or use only the first
syllable, and omit articles and
obvious verbs Common ab-
breviations and symbols found

in most dictionaries can often be
of great help

Instructors' teaching methods
will differ You'll have to be alert
to each one's style and
organization Often they start
each class with an overview or
outline and use it as a
framework for their lecture.
This, of course, is a good reason
for being punctual

Outlines, diagrams or lists
that instructors write on the
board are usually important. It is
a good idea to record these in
your notebook, unless you know
that the same material is already
covered in your textbook.

Indenting and spacing will
help make your notes more
readable Start a new line out to
the left for an important heading
Indent subheads under this and
so on.

Start a new page for each
class, with the date and topic
heading the page When a new
major topic or division is in-
troduced, begin another new
page so that you will have
enough room to record the ap-
propriate material under it

A lined 8 1 ? x 1 1 " notebook is
recommended. On the front
cover you can paste your work
schedule, as well as your name,
address and phone number in
case you ever misplace it You
can keep all your class notes,
and the instructor's handouts, in
this one book by tabbing sections
for each course. You can also
add or delete notes or fresh
paper as you need to Most
students, by the way, find that
notes made in pen are much
more legible and durable than
those in pencil

appearing here in two
installments and is one of a

Trustees Meet, Parietals Extended

by Wendy Brooks

..On Friday, January 27. the
ASC Board of Trustees met for
their winter meeting After a
luncheon in the President's Din-
ing Room, where they were
served the same meal as the
student body was served, they
convened for their formal
meeting

President Perry began the
meeting by informing the Board
of his decision to extend
parietals to 1-5 p m on
Saturdays, while continuing the
Sunday hours The same
procedures will be followed for
Saturdays as have been

Another issue raised at the
meeting was the revision of the
drinking policy The Board was
presented with the RC proposing
a special room in each dorm
where students would be
allowed to drink, and which
would have lockers to store the
liquor

The Board decided not to take
action on the proposal at that
particular meeting They would
like to consider another
proposal, currently being drawn
up by a Rep Council committee,
before taking action

The new RC was presented to
Rep Council on February 6, and

ungoverned
negative aspect of the
Gesellschaft is ignored in the
discussion paper; thus, its tacit
assumption that magisterial is
necessarily "bad" while
collegia I is always "good" is in-
complete and misleading

Along with the "libera listic"
slant, I am concerned at the
paper's distinct implication that
Agnes Scott's honor system is
almost completely a repressive
Gemeinschaft one "Omission
of a proper footnote, discussion
of a paper in progress, and
returning to the dorm five
minutes late are all honor code
violations Students could name
hundreds of other offenses"
(page 23) The exaggeration is
evident, the claim inaccurate
While these misdemeanors may
be honor code violations in the
hypothetically pure
Gemeinschaft case, they are
not necessarily offenses at
Agnes Scott Our paper policy
has become a sore issue recen-
tly, but the object has always
been to recognize use of
borrowed ideas as painlessly as
possible while encouraging
students to progress in com-
positional skills The distinction
between discussion of ideas and
plagiarism is one students learn
to fix for themselves with the aid
of the faculty member for
whom the paper is intended
Violation of interdorm
regulations is handled by
student groups whose decisions
partially take into account the in-
dividual nature of cases

The report goes on to suggest
that during orientation, "em-
phasis is placed on not violating
a rule of the system and on the
punishment and humiliation

assessment is truer of the past
than Honor Court would like it to
be; remnants of our "Gestapo
image" still linger. But to be fair,
the 1978-79 Honor Court
worked especially hard to
expressly place emphasis on the
positive aspects of the honor
system Specifically, freshman
orientation this year included
groi p discussion with faculty
members instead of a more
impersonal panel discussion; we
purposely excluded the in-
famous mock trial, and dwelt
lightly on penalties during
handbook orientation Ironically,
at the moment we are trying
hardest to correct the honor
code's imnage. we receive the
harshest criticism

A possible synthesis of the
magisterial and collegial at
tributes suggests itself as a
reorganization of Agnes Scott in
which the central value stan-
dards are agreed upon, but not
allowed to function repressively
Suppose the college clearly
determines its goals and values
and then clearly presents them
to prospective students as ab
solutely integral parts of the
college (as essential as, say, un
compromised academic quality)
Entering freshmen and transfers
would then come to A S C after
consciously choosing the ideals
of the school A feeling of repres
sion as rebellion against
superimposed ideals would not
exist, this new situation would
thrive on the voluntary
agreement of the community to
a set of accepted standards

could form the basis of campus
unity, not of dissension

Glee Club Heads for Russia on European Tour

by Wendy Merkert

Russia is the destination of the
Agnes Scott College Glee Club's
third European Concert Tour, set
for Nov. 26 through Dec. 10,
1979. The group of 20-25
singers plans to spend one week
in Russia performing in Len-
ingrad and Moscow and several
days performing in London. Ac-
cording to Dr. Theodore
Mathews, director of the Glee
Club, a few places are available
for non-members who will pay
full fare of slightly over $1 100.
Anyone interested in going
should contact Dr. Mathews as
soon as possible at 373-2571
ext. 363.

Dr. Mathews explained the
main function of the trip as a

cultural one. There will be some
sightseeing and free time but it
is primarily an educational trip.
He feels everyone concerned
will benefit from the cultural
exchange between one
democratic and one communist
country.

The group plans to give at least
four performances and a ten-
tative program has been set. The
music is one half sacred and one
half secular but can go totally
either way. This flexibility is
needed because the Soviets may
object to sacred music. The
program can also go partially or
entirely a cappella because
pianos or organs may not be
available. Among the selections
to be performed are "Amazing

Grace," "Ave Maria" and
"America, the Beautiful."

Members of the Glee Club will
only pay one half to three fourths
of the total cost. The Club
expects to fund the remainder of
the cost primarily through a
nationwide appeal for spon-
sorship from multi-national
corporations which trade with
Russian companies. The
prospectus presented to the
corporations was put together by
Glee Club members under the
direction of Mr. William Weber,
chairman of the Economics
Department. Other funding will
come from fund raising.

Presenting the tour as a way
for corporations to show their
appreciation to their Russian

counterparts was the strategy
outlined by economics profes-
sor, Mr. Weber. Mr. Weber said,
'The officers got very involved
and produced a very good
product." The prospectus drawn
up was seen as a business

Concern For
Capabilities

The next issue of the Profile will be devoted to the Student
Government elections. The candidates for the following of-
fices will receive questionaires. SGA president, vice-
president, treasurer, secretary, Honor Court Chairman, BSA
Chairman, Interdorm Chairman, Christian Association
president, Athletic Association president, and Social Council
President. The questions will be concerned with specific
desire for the office, qualifications for the office, and goals in
the mind of the candidate.

We hope that the candidates will see this as an opportunity
to broadcast their capabilities as well as their desire to be an
active participant of the student body. We hope thatthis elec-
tion issue will reveal the innovative ideas and enthusiasm of
the candidates for office. The elections in the past have been
marked by the interest in the "personalities" instead of the
capabilities of the students running for the different offices.

"Your vote must be based on common interests for the
school rather than personal prejudices."

Progress has been made in the past year toward revising
the institution's policies so that they are in line with the
interests of the student body. Hopefully this trend will con-
tinue. To do so requires that the students choose those of-
ficers who give high priority not only toa fun and light hearted
four years but also to the future of the college.

Black History Week

The Students for Black
Awareness (SBA) observed
Black History Week, February 5-
9 by having guest lecturers and a
gospel program. S B. A. feels it is
imperative that people be
knowledgeable about blacks and
their heritage. Knowledge helps
destroy myths and misgivings
people have about the black
experience. The club hoped to
make the campus more aware of
black history and culture by
sponsoring these informative
programs.

Gloria Gayles and Jocelyn

Dorsey were guest lecturers.
Gloria Gayles is an English
professor at Talladega College in
Talledega, Alabama. She spoke
on the topic: "Black and Woman:
A Study of Black Women in
Selected Novels Written by
Black Women, 1946-1976."
Jocelyn Dorsey, an an-
chorwoman for WSB-TV lec-
tured on the topic: "Blacks in the
News Media."

The gospel concert presented
an opportunity for the singers
and the audience to make a
"joyful noise unto the Lord. "The

The Art of Note Taking

It is best to write on the right-
hand pages only. You can then
make your own study, review or
textbook notes on the left-hand
pages.

Jot down questions as they
occur to you in class and hold
them for the appropriate
moment. They might be
answered or become unim-
portant in a few minutes. But if
not, you'll want to have them
answered either in class or later.

Be alert to the instructor's
tone, emphasis or questions.
These may be clues to things
that will appear on an exam. For
example, if Professor Smith
says, "Five important reasons
for the treaty were . . ." or
"Remember now . . .," you can
be sure those are things to be
recorded.

Class lectures and textbook
assignments do not always
parallel each other. Your class
notes will reflect the instructor's
approach to the topic, but you
might find it helpful to make ad-
ditional notes from your textbook
on the left-hand page across
from your class notes.

Design your notetaking
system so that you have suf-
ficient room to record the
instructor's material, your read-
ing notes AND your review notes
on one page or two opposite
pages

Remember, review your class
notes as soon as possible after
the session has ended. In this
way you'll be able to correct,
clarify or fill-in where necessary
This review time will also be
critical in helping you remember
the class material when it is
fresh in your mind.

One style of notetaking,
developed at Cornell University,
has been very helpful to
students. On every right-hand
page, draw a vertical line from
top to bottom, 2 1 /2 inches in from
the left side. In class use the
large 6 inch column on the right
for recording the lecture
material. After class and during
studytimes, use the smaller left-
hand column for making your
own review notes. By marking
down the key word, idea or fact,
it can help you remember what
you are studying and help you
review for exams. Some
students find it helpful to use a
colored marker or pen during

review to underline the im-
portant words or phrases.

Completing textbook or read-
ing assignments before each
class will help minimize notetak-
ing in class. You will know
whether the material under dis-
cussion is in the text or not. You
will already have underlined the
important ideas in the book, so
you won't have to duplicate
these points when the instructor
makes them. Instead of taking
down these same facts write
"refer to textbook chapter."

Typing or rewriting notes is
normally a waste of time, if they
are legible, accurate and com-
plete it is much more productive
to spend your time reviewing the
notes, reading your text and
keeping up every day and every
week with your studies.

pertormers for the concert were
the St. Paul Lutheran Chancel
Choir, The Union Baptist Gospel
Singers, Ben Hill United
Methodist Choir and The Walter
Peek Choir. The evening wasfull
of Negro spirituals and hymns.

Queries

by T. Lancaster

In investigating the criterion
for a student being on academic
probation, I found that the in-
formation is not available in the
Student Handbook or the
Catalogue. The information can
be found in the permanent
bulletin board (glassed in) in the
foyer of Buttrick Hall. This board
displays any information that
has to do with faculty / ad-
ministration rulings pertaining
to the Student Handbook. Along
with the criterion for academic
probation, it also contains the in-
formation concerning student
classifications (how you are
classified which is updated
every quarter), Honor Roll
qualifications, Independent
Study information, accelerated
Graduation, and Residency Re-
quirements. I am not going to
answer the question about
Academic Probation because I
think becoming familiar with all
of this information would be
beneficial to each one of us. The
board is located on the left hand
wall of the right wing of the en-
trance of Buttrick, i e.,asyouare
going to the bank, it is on the left
side as you turn the corner.

Nadar Hits The

Campus Trai

by Dr. Richard Meisler

ANN ARBORI, Ml (CPS) "We
worry too much about crime in
the streets, and not enough
about crime in the suites, the
executive suites," mourns Ralph
Nader. On a national speaking
swing through college cam-
puses, Nader is telling law
students that lawyers and the
legal system service high-paying
corporate clients, and are not
primarily concerned wTth jus-
tice. Only 600 of the nation's
400,000 attorneys, he says, are
practicing "public interest" law.

So Nader hasturned hisatten-
tion to his profession, cranking
up what he calls the Equal Jus-
tice Foundation. The
organization of young lawyers
will be trying to change the legal
system. The goal is to make the
system more responsive to the
needs of ordinary people. To get
the organization going, the con-
sumer advocate has been speak-
ing to packed law-school
audiences, asking the students
to live up to their ideals, and
commit their money to the new
foundation

More recently at the
University of Michigan Law
School, Nader condemned major
aspects of legal education and
practice He referred frequently

to his own training at Harvard
Law School, charging it was
primarily devoted to learning to
solve the problems of rich people
and corporations.

Last year, though, Nader's
other organizations sponsored a
book called The High Citadel, a
study of Nader's alma mater. The
book was criticised by the New
York Times as "timid and
shallow." The Los Angeles
Times, with a somewhat friend-
lier review, labeled it "mild."

Nader's campus speech,
though is considerably more
forceful than his written law
school study. He says Harvard is
not the only law school that
neglects what he sees as law
school's most important task:
cultivating a sense of injustice in
their students. Without that
sense, Nader believes, lawyers
will not know how to seek jus
tice. Law professors are bright,
but terribly narrow and
conservative. He places the
blame on the profession's
"insensitivity" directly on their
shoulders. "There is no such
thing," Nader counsels, "as a
no-fault professor."

As a result, as law professor
Roger Fisher once wrote in a
famous critique of legal

A Warm Up For the Winter Olympics

by Cat Wendt

Three weeks ago, the film
'Champions, A Love Story" was
aired on television. It was the
story of a teenage couple (he, an
ice-hockey player; she, a promis-
ing competitive figure skater
with her eye on the Olympics)
who fall in love, devote their
lives to skating, and come close
to being champions . . . until
tragedy strikes.

Two weeks ago, the film "Ice
Castles" opened in Atlanta. It is
the story of a teenage couple (he,
an ice-hockey player; she, a
promising competitive figure
skater with her eye on the
Olympics) who fall in love,
devote their lives to skating, and
come close to being champions .
. . until tragedy strikes.

Either H o 1 1 y wood i s
enamoured with love and
tragedy on the ice, or they're
prepping us for the Winter
Olympics. The latter is more
than likely the case, as "The
Other Side of the Mountain" and
other films of that ilk swept the
country at about this time four
years ago. In either case,
however, these films all have a
great deal in common. They
capitalize on the Agony of Defeat
and the Road Back to Glory, and
each of them is just as maudlin
as the next. Nevertheless, they
all seem to hit the sentimental
spot, and "Ice Castles" is
probably the best excuse to shed
a few tears as I've seen all year.

"Ice Castles" boasts several
fine performances, but, regret-
tably, Robby Benson plays the

same clumsy adolescent that
he's played in all his recent
films. This movie's best attribute
is its fine filming of some very
lovely skating routines,
beautifully done by Lynn-Holly
Johnson, who, incidentally, can
act as well as she can skate. Ms.
Johnson very successfully
portrays a role that requires
performance off the ice as well
as on. Dorothy Hamill could
never have carried it off as well.

"Ice Castles" is not an im-
portant nor an ambitious film,
but neither is it just another sen-
timental drop in the bucket. It
achieves everything it sets out
to: to tell an appealing story, and
to give the public a little of what
it's been aching for since 1976
ice skating. So start warming up
for the Winter Olympics now, go
see "Ice Castles."

theatre in 1972 in South Paris,
Maine. He has studied with such
well-known mimes as Marcel
Marceau, Louise Gifford and
Etienne Decroux.

Drawing on the techniques of
the "Commedia dell'arte" of
16th-century Italy, Montanaro
trains his ensemble members to
become "total performers." He
describes the "total theatre
performer" as "one who is
skilled in every aspect of stage
craft, from juggling, dance and
song to improvisation, mime
illusion and puppetry."

The result of Montanaro's ap-
proach, according to Boston
critic David Shaw, "is a sparkling
performance ranging from clas-
sic mime to dance to stories
enacted in a 'Story Theatre' vein,
with moods that mercurially
alter between melancholy and

Seminar Examines Law
and the Citizen

Auditions Approach for "Babes in Arms"

In the spring quarter the
Department of History and
Political Science will offer a new
course, PS190, entitled "The
Legal System: A Citizen's
Perspective." The course will in-
troduce students to the law as a
social institution by describing
both its public and private com-
ponents. In addition to getting a
brief overview of the court
system, participants will study
the operation of law firms and
the role of lawyers in our system
of law. Students will read and
analyze cases that affect the
everyday concerns of ordinary
citizens, and also will discuss
selected ethical issues relating
to the practice of law.

PS1 90 will be taught by Sam

education, a change in students'
attitudes becomes apparent as
they progress through law
school "I would guess," Fisher
wrote"thatamong entering first-
year students, a high percentage
would express interest in public
service, in politics . . in making
the world a better place. I would
venture . that among the third-
year graduating students this
percentage is far less . . Is the
law school also a school in
cynicism?"

Nader obviously thinks so, and
is asking those same third-year
students to enlist in the Equal
Justice Foundation To join, they
must pledge one percent of their
salary for at least a year

Once they do. they'll draft and
lobby for legislation, work on
"critical" law suits, and
research various public interest
law issues They will, Nader
promises, be a force against the
legal profession's dominant
orientation toward corporate
power

As examples of possible pro-
jects, the consumer advocate
mentioned the selection of

judges, expanding the domain 01
consumer class action suits, and
fighting secrecy in regulatory
agencies

He claims more than 160
students from 17 lawschools
have already joined the foun-
dation, but makes no secret of
having bigger things in mind. He
envisions a national
organization with local chapters
all over the country. A few years
ago, in a similar vein, Nader
traveled campuses proposing
college-based public interest
research groups (PIRGs). There
are now PIRGs in 23 states. The
largest is New York's group,
which employes 100 full-time
professionals, mainly scientists
and lawyers.

Nader concludes his campus
talks to law students by asking
them a series of questions
"What sort of law practice would
you seek," he wonders, "if you
didn't have to worry about
money 7 At what price can your
professional life be bought 7 How
much justice will there be in the
world because of you 7 "

Attention all potential ac-
tresses auditions for the spring
production Babes in Arms begin
Sunday, Feb. 25th and continue
through Feb. 27th. Auditions
start at 7:30 p.m. each night in
the winter theatre.

The musical comedy Babes in
Arms will be a joint production
of the Blackfriars and the Music
Department. Dr. John Toth will
stage and direct the play while
Dr. Matthews will conduct the
orchestra and chorus. Ms.
Lemonds will be the vocal coach.

The authors of Babes in Arms
are Richard Rogers and Lorenz
Hart. Rogers wrote the musicfor
The King and I, Oklahoma, and
The Sound of Music, while Hart
wrote Pal Joey and Boys from

Syracuse. Babes in Arms was

first produced in the 1930's.
Judy Garland and Mickey
Rooney starred in the movie
version.

The plot centers around
twelve apprentices working in a
summer theatre. They are
attempting to perfect their own
music revue for a tryout with a
Broadway producer. They are
thwarted alternately by a former
child movie star and her pushy
stage mother, the tyrannical
theater owner, and an egocen-
tric but not too talented
playwright.

Everyone auditioning must be
prepared to sing and bring sheet
music along; a piano and ac-
companist will be provided. Not
all of the parts contain solos but

everyone must sing in the
chorus. Some of the songs in the
musical are: "My Funny Valen-
tine," 'The Lady's a Tramp," "-
Johnny One Note," "I Wish I
Were in Love Again," "Where or
When," and "Babes in Arms."
Any of these songs may be used
when auditioning. All must sing
and move we (J.

Anyone interested in working
on the stage crew may sign up
during auditions or contact Deb-
bie Daniels, president of
Blackfriars, or Steve Griffith,
technical director.

Note: Although auditions are
soon, rehearsals will not begin
until March 27th, which is the
first day of spring quarter. Babes
in Arms will be performed May
11th, 12th, 18th, and 19th.

ELECTION ISSUE

The following is the response to questionaires in the words of the candidates. No editing or revising has been done.

SGA President

Susan
Dodson

What are your qualifications for
this position?

First on the list of my
qualifications is leadership
experience. I am grateful to have
had it in a variety of areas such
as Junior Class Vice - President,
Advisory Council, Black Cat
Song Chairman, Dorm Bible
Study Leader, Black Cat Music
Director, Pastor's Associate,
Youth Director and camp
counselor. Being a frequent
performer in the Southeast for
the past three years has been a
tremendous asset in developing
leadership qualities also

Secondly, and perhaps even
more importantly, is my
understanding of the demands
that would be placed upon me as
President, but most important of
all is my deep desire to serve
Agnes Scott College in this
capacity.

What do you think of our
system of student
government? Would you work
for any changes in the present
system? If so, what?

I feel that our present system
of Student Government is
superb, in that we as students
are the initiators of any
regulation changes in our cam-
pus I ife. I believe this frees us as
students to expand our vision by
exploring possible innovations
while intelligently evaluating
both positive and negative
effects that might result.

I do not intend to work toward
any major change in the system
itself, but rather toward im-
proved means of exercising to its
fullest potential, the power given
to us by the Board of Trustees. I
will elaborate more fully on this
in response to the fourth ques-
tion .

As you see them, what are the
duties and powers of the SGA
President?

Aside from the paperwork and
legwork of "old and new
business" (which without say-
ing is a tremendous amount of
responsibility), I see that it is the
President's duty to be
thoroughly familiar with the

desires and opinions of the
student body and to be open to
all sides of each issue. Although
this requires a stubborn
perseverance, it is indispensable
because her most important
power, as I see it, is to represent
the student body particularly in
her vote on the Administrative
Boa rd

Do you have any specific plans
you would propose if elected?

Yes. In order to better execute
my ideal that all students should
be represented and be made to
feel a more vital part of the ac-
tual student government, I
would like to propose three
things. First of all, that we would
have at least once during the
course of each quarter what I
will call a "Chat 'n Chew," an in-
formal meeting of the student
body where we can bring to the
surface both our gripes and
suggestions. This would be a
great asset to me and to Rep
Council as we discern the most
pressing needs of the students
and act thereupon. (It would be
fun also!) Secondly, I would
propose that each member of
Rep Council get not just a
general idea of what the
students want but that they ac-
count for each student within
their jurisdiction. This could be
done without embarrassment,
for example, by hall meetings in
which each student could
anonymously write down her
preference or abstention, turn it
in to her Rep member who would
then tabulate the results and br-
ing them to Rep meetings.
Thirdly, as President, I would like
to write a small article for the
Profile in each issue to keep you
up-to-date on Rep-Raps, remind
you of up and coming issuesand
to share with you what I learn
from contact with other student
governments.

Why do you want to be SGA
President?

I desire the office of SGA
President because I want to be
instrumental in leading this
student body into a position of
greater unity and contentment. I
am completely optimistic about
what lies ahead for Agnes Scott
College. Even now I am in the
process of studying other
student governments in search
of the most effective methods.

T. Lancaster

What are your qualificationsfor
this position?

I am qualified for this position
because I am mildly insane. Why
would anyone want to spend
their entire senior year in
meetings? Seriously, I want this
job very much.

I have been both a president
and a REP member. Asfreshman
and sophomore class president, I
have learned to conduct an
orderly meeting and to construct
an effective communication
system for transmitting in-
formation. Heading up Black Cat
and Sophomore Parent's
Weekend has taught me to work
with a large group of people for a
common goal. As a junior REP
member, I have used my listen-
ing skills and have gained an
understanding of the various at-
titudes on campus. The "-
Queries" column and working
on the Student Life Committee
has heightened my awareness
of the problems the campus is
facing today.

What do you think of our
system of student
government? Would you work
for any changes in the present
system? If so, what?

Agnes Scott has the very
finest system of Student
Government. In working
through the system for three
years, I have found it fair and
progressive. Much of the dis-
satisfaction with the system
seems to stem from the students
not being fully informed and/or
not knowing how to work within
a system. Learning to work
within a system is a very
valuable skill which is beneficial
later in life. There is basically
nothing wrong with our present
system, besides the need for
some fine tuning.

As you see them, what are the
duties and powers of the SGA
President?

I perceive the SGA president
as a moderator, coordinator, and
communicator. The SGA
president unbiasly presides over
the REP council meetings. She
only votes in the case of a tie.
She coordinates the entire
Student Government As-
sociation which consists of the
various boards and councils on

campus. The president informs
the council and the students of
the procedures for meetings and
forthe passagesof the RC's. She
is the all important liaison
between the students and the
administration

Do you have any specific plans
you would propose if elected?

Primarily, I would like to
change the image of REPcouncii
from one of an elitist group to a
viable organization that is used
by the students. I would go about
this change by improving the
orientation of the REP members
and the students. I would like for
each REP member to have a
clear understanding of her
duties and of the past history of
the council, so that she can
become immediately invoked. I
would like to have a separate
orientation for the dorm REPs
and the freshman REPsentering
later in the year. For the
students, a pamphlet or a panel
discussion is necessary. The
Profile is a method of com-
munication that has not been
thoroughly utilized. If any com-
plicated issues come up next
year, I would like to see the REP
members conduct hall meetings
to clear up any misconceptions.
Basically, I would like tochannel
any dissatisfaction into
constructive energy.

Why do you want to be SGA
President?

I feel a diminishing sense of
community, a divergence
between the students and the
faculty, and a disgruntlement
with the system. These
problems can be faced by provid-
ing strong leadership and
heightening the awareness of
the student.

I also believe in Agnes Scott
and can see there is much
potential for an outstanding
campus life. Selfishly, I would
like very much to work and grow
with all the fine people of Agnes
Scott.

Kemper
Hatfield

What are your qualificationsfor
this position?

Serving as SGA treasurer this

year has provided me with
valuable experience which
would be beneficial to me as
SGA president. As treasurer, I
have kept in close contact with
the officers and members of all
SGA organizations, and I have
learned much about the basis on
which our student government
is built. I have also worked
closely with the other officers of
SGA, and I have come to
understand many of the
demands of the office of
president. I have dealt with the
faculty and administration as I
have carried out my duties as
treasurer, and I feel comfortable
dealing with faculty / ad-
ministration members

I place great stock in the fact
that I. am an organized worker. I
have served as treasurer of the
class of 1980 for two years, as
Glee Club accompanist, and as a
member of the Madrigals for
three years. Thus I am interested
and involved in campus ac-
tivities. I feel that I have always
fulfilled the duties of any office I
have held to my fullest ability,
and I take great pride in the work
I have done on the Agnes Scott
campus.

What do you think of our
system of student
government? Would you work
for any changes in the present
system? If so, what?

Our system of student
government is fair and effective
if it is usedto its fullest potential
A lack of student awareness of
the goings-on of the student
government and a lack of
understanding of the channels
through which ideas should
pass make our system lose some
of its effectiveness. For this
reason, the problems which
arise in SGA do not stem from
faults in the present system, but
rather from not utilizing the
present system in a productive
manner. Some problems could
be solved if students would read
and understand the constitution
of SGA and the parliamentary
procedure by which Rep con-
ducts its meetings. Individual
initiative on the part of the
students, and the Rep members
who are sensitive to student
needs will make our system of
student government beneficial
and fair to all students

Agnes Scott-Still A Bargain

During the month of February,
parents of currently enrolled
students and accepted ap-
plicants received letters from
President Perry announcing an
increase in Agnes Scott's tuition
to $3,500 for 1979-80. Since
there will be no increase in room
and board charges or the student
activity fee, this will bring the
1979-80 total to $5,050 for
boarding students and $3,550
for day students.

Even with the increase, Agnes
Scott students pay less than half
of what it actually costs to
operate the College. Agnes
Scott's endowment and her
generous alumnae make it pos-
sible for charges to remain much
lower than those of other lead-
ing private colleges. A study of
tentative comprehensive fees

prehensive fees of $8,300 and
Agnes Scott at the bottom with
$5,000. Of the Southern
women's colleges, Hollins heads
the list with $6,175 and Sweet
Briar comes in a close second
with $6,125. Interestingly
enough too, Agnes Scott's net
increase of $300 from 1978-79
to 1 979-80 was the smallest in-
crease in the group with the
exception of Lake Erie College.
(Lake Erie increased their com-
prehensive fees by $650 the
year before.)

President Perry's letter also
carried a message of continued
commitment in the area of finan-
cial aid. As in the past, the
College will continue to meet
100% of the officially es-
tablished need of each student.
The process of determining need
will of course take into account
the increase of tuition.

Letters

Dear Editor:

This is a letter, first of all, to
thank the Profile for its article on
the proposed glee club concert
tour to the Soviet Union It was a
good and accurate article One
important item, however, was
omitted, and I am submitting this
letter to you in the hope of mak-
ing that item known

Your article mentioned the
fact that there were places
available for non-singing
students who may wish to
participate in the tour at full
price The Glee Club would like it
to be known that there is room
also for additional singing
members who would be able to
travel at a reduced price

As you see them, what are the
duties and powers of the SGA
President?

The duties of the president in-
clude conducting the meetings
of Rep Council in an orderly and
unbiased fashion and trying to
keep all Rep Council and student
body discussions relevant to the
topic being discussed. The
president should try to make all
students aware of Rep activities,
and, as a student member of the
Administrative Committee, she
should present and defend the
ideas of the majority of the
student body.

The president should be in-
close contact with the com-
mittees of the student
government. If these com-
mittees have problems, the
president should be a guiding
force in helping to solve them.

It is very important that the
president of SGA be a good
representative of the student
body of Agnes Scott on and off
campus. Since people outside
the campus community tend to
base their impressions of Agnes
Scott by the student represen-
tatives they meet, the SGA
president should represent the
student body of Agnes Scott in a
dignified, poised, and friendly
manner.

Do you have any specific plans
you would propose if elected?

If elected president, I would
like for Rep to evaluate the com-
mittees of the student
government and clarify the
duties of these committees. For
example, the Committee of
Academic Problems (CAP) has
been inactive this year. We need
to either revitalize CAP by defin-
ing its duties or dissolve CAP if
there is no need for it. We also
need to make sure that the com-
mittees of SGA do not have
overlapping duties.

I feel that Agnes Scott
students could benefit from
exchange programs with other
women's colleges, such as Ran-
dolph-Macon, Hollins, Sweet-
briar, Converse, and Mary

Baldwin. Steps are being made
in this direction now. The
Southeastern Women's College
Conference will be held at Agnes
Scott during spring quarter of
this year. Representatives from
eighteen women's colleges have
been invited to exchange ideas
and analyze student government
systems, and all Agnes Scott
students are invited to attend the
conference meetings.

I believe that there needsto be
better communication between
the campus and community and
Rep Council. Better com-
munication could be ac-
complished by encouraging

During recent months the
Agnes Scott Financial Aid Com-
mittee has made a number of
decisions that will affect
students applying for aid for
1979-80. The College will,
however, continue its com-
mitment to attempt to meet the
full demonstrated need of each
student. The amount of financial
need is defined as the difference
between what Agnes Scott costs
(the student's budget) and what
the family can afford to con-
tribute (the family's resources).

One area of change will be in
the budget which the Financial
Aid Office projects for each
student. First, tuition and fees
will be increased to $3,550 to
coincide with the actual charges
for the coming year. Secondly,
the books and supplies budget
will be increased from $175 to
$225 to refleci increases in the
prices of these items. Last, the
personal expense budget will be
increased from $350 to $425
These changes total $425 for
each financial aid student.

Another area of change will be
in the "packaging" of financial
aid awards. In light of the $425
increase in each student's
budget, the Committee felt it
necessary to increase the
amount of the typical loan
obligation by $200. Since
juniors already experience this
increase, their loans will remain
at $600. Freshmen and

students to attend Rep Council
meetings and by having SGA
participate in freshman orien-
tation, which would spark
freshman interest in SGA.

Why do you want to be SGA
President?

I would like to be SGA
President because I have a great
interest in campus activities,
and I enjoy working on Rep
Council. I belive that serving as
SGA President will allow me to
use my ability to communicate
with others and to become more
involved with the students of
Agnes Scott.

sophomores will now also be
offered $600 loans and seniors
$800 loans as part of their finan-
cial aid package.

Despite the increase in loan
obligations, Agnes Scott's "self-
help" (loan and employment)
portions remain low in com-
parison with many other
colleges. The number of hours of
employment on campus will
continue at five per week for
freshmen and sophomores and
eight per week for juniors and
seniors. The basic wage rate of
$2 50 per hour (for Class I first
year employees) will be in-
creased to $2.70 per hour

The Financial Aid Committee
discussed at length the issue of
adjusting financial aid awards
for receipt of other scholarships
and grants. Since awards are
based only on need initially, it
was agreed that awards must
continue to be adjusted
downward to reflect the change
in resources that occurs when
students are awarded additional
funds. However, the Committee
did not wish to discourage
student initiative and agreed to
allow the Agnes Scott loan to be
reduced first before reducing the
Agnes Scott grant. Students
receiving special Agnes Scott
scholarships will have up to half
of their Agnes Scott loans
cancelled before their grants are
reduced.

Honor Court Chairman

Interdorm Chairman

by Jenny Spencer

The Honor System here at
Agnes Scott is not just a code
which is to be upheld, but it is a
way of living which should be
cherished. In order to maintain
and increase the effectiveness
of our Honor System I would like
to make an attempt to increase
awareness of the meaning of
personal honor Every individual
student here has a responsibility
to herself, to every other
student, and to the entire college
community. This responsibility
entails that every student must
be honest to herself in every
aspect of living Taking someone
else's food out of the refrigerator
is just as much a violation of
personal honor as is cheating on
a take-home test. Every violation
of personal honor, no matter, to
what degree, lessens the

person's total perspective of
honor. Soon the person loses all
definition of what is actually
honorable. Secondly, every in-
dividual must have a responsible
attitude to all students around
them. The dual responsibility
must exist at Agnes Scott in
order for the Honor System to
work.

The privileges which we have
here at Agnes Scott are in-
numerable. We are able to leave
our rooms unlocked, we are able
to take self-scheduled exams,
and we are able to trust our
fellow students in all social and
academic matters. In order to
maintain these privileges and in
order to have an effective Honor
System, every individual must
be honest to herself in every
aspect of living.

BSA Chairman

Ross Cheney
BSA Chairman

How do you define the role of
BSA as it now exists?

The role of BSA is to
coordinate all student activities
on campus, especially those
organizations that receive SGA
funds BSA oversees the calen-
dar so that too many activities
will not go on in one week
Besides the primary function of
arranging the calendar, BSA
also controls the use of the Hub,
and approves all alcoholic
beverage requests. During
winter quarter, BSA holds
"evaluations" of the major
boards of campus These ses-
sions are held to discuss any
problems and to brainstorm for

improvements in the board. In a
single sentence, I would des-
cribe the role of BSA as advisory

How would you carry out
BSA's functions?

Basically, I would carry out the
functions of BSA in much the
same way as this year One im-
provement I would make would
be to discontinue the sale of the
quarterly calendars, since there
is so little interest in them. Also, I
would make the quarterly
meetings with the Board vice -
presidents mandatory, since
they are of vital importance to
setting up a comprehensive
calendar. The evaluations have
been very helpful in the past, so I
would continue them in the
future year.

Orientation Counci

Lisa DeGrandi

Do you feel that
upperclassmen should be in-
volved in the orientation
program?

Yes. Most upperclassmen are
uninvolved in the Little Sister
Program. I find it is important for
upperclassmen to be involved
with the Orientation Program.
They have already experienced
the hardships of college life; for
example, being homesick, Black
Cat, struggling through
freshman English, not having a
date for the weekend or having
three tests and two papers due
that week. As well as already
knowing the highspots of Atlan-
ta, upperclassmen can show
freshmen the shopping malls,
Georgia Tech and Emory, the art
galleries and Stone Mountain. I
feel it is also important for
upperclassmen to get to know
the freshmen as well as the
transfer students since most
upperclassmen will not have the
same classes with them or live
around them. This allows for a
good opportunity to unite the
College Community early in the
season. Remember that once we
all were incoming new faces.

Do you feel that the "Big

Sister" Program is effective?

The Big Sister program is
effective in most cases. Working
on the Council last year we
examined many applications of
girls interested in becoming big
sisters. In order for the big sister
program to work effectively it is
up to the responsibility of each
individual. Some big sisters
desert their little sister after the
first day or week. Essentially, a
big sister at Scott acts as an ad-
visor or just someone a little
sister could confide to in timesof
need. The Big Sister program I
feel is an important asset to
Orientation Council and Scott.

Why do you feel qualified for
this position?

Orientation Council requires a
great deal of planning and
organization. I feel I am an
organized person and can take
on this responsibility. I worked
on the Council last year as Rush
Chairman and the year before as
a Memberof the Academic Com-
mittee. I know Orientation Coun-
cil requires time because ac-
tivities for the fall must be
planned during the spring. I am
willing to put the time into mak-
ing the Fall Orientation a

KATHY HOLLYWOOD

How do you view the position
of Chairman of Interdorm and
its responsibilities?

Since we are all required to
live on campus, dorm life should
be made as pleasant as possible
I viewthe Chairman of Interdorm
as a receptor to the voice of the
students. The Interdorm
Chairman should act as ajiaison
between the entire student body
and the admin istration The en-
tire responsibility is to make the
dorm as much like a 'home' as
possible and to keep 'con-
sideration' as the outstanding
dormitory rule for everyone.
Interdorm is there for everybody
not just those who break the
rules.

Are there any specific
problems you plan to deal
with?

I would like to see the
freshmen get a better orien-
tation to dorm rules. Too many of
them say they don't know when
they are breaking the rules and
must pay the consequences
regardless. I would also like to
see Interdorm become regarded
as a more fun-loving

organization. Sure, we deal with
some heavy problems but we
can project a more vital image
than we have been. Then we
could overcome the police-force
image we've developed.

DEBBIE BOELTER

How do you view the position
of Chairman of Interdorm and
its responsibilities?

The Interdorm Chairman fills
the positions of leader, an ad-
ministrator of a judicial board,
and a responsible memberof the
student body. As a leader, she
must be organized so meetings
can run smoothly to maximize
the efficiency of the board in
handling dorm problems. In the
position of an administrator, she
must be able to carry out the
board's decisions fairly, patien-
tly, and impartially when dealing
with violations of social
regulations and as a member of
the student body the Chairman
of Interdorm is responsible for
abiding by the Honor System.

with?

There are two main problems I
would plan to deal with. The first
problem would be the orien-
tation of the freshmen and re-
orientation of upper classmen.
The freshmen's orientation
needs to be strengthened to'
provide a firm foundation in the
Honor System, while the
upperclassmen need to be
reminded of their pledge they
took when beginning at Agnes
Scott. The second problem
would be to continue the present
board's policy of emphasizing
social regulations as part of the
Honor System.

How Could You Make Social Counci
A More Effective Organization
on Campus ?

JODIE JEFFREY

Making social council a more
effective organization requires a
thorough knowledge of its
pu rposes , goals and
achievements. I believe that I
have this knowledge from serv-
ing as an active member for the
past year. The present council
has worked well together in
providing popular social events
for the campus. But to increase
the council's effectiveness I feel
that innovation is necessary.
This innovation should be in
three areas encouraging
intercouncil activities, stimulat-
ing student participation on this
campus and involving other
schools, besides Georgia Tech
and Emory, in more frequent
social events. By working with
other councils on campus,
diversity in the activities offered
can be achieved. An example
would be a TGIF party combined
with a Softball game on the
hockey field. Social Council
would need the help of AA in
sponsoring this type of social.

This diversity in turn should
create more participation by the
students on this campus. In
order to involve other schools
such as Mercer, Georgia State
and the graduate schools at
Emory, a more extensive and
effective publicity program will
be employed. As illustrated, in-
novation and diversity are the
key phrases in my plan to

develop social council into a
more effective and beneficial
organization of this campus.

ELISA NORTON

Social Council is an
organization designed to provide
each student with the op-
portunity for social interaction
on campus and off, at Triday
afternoon social parties,
quarterly dances, and mixers
with other schools. These
functions are not limited to one
group or another in the campus
community, and the Council
should encourage each and

every student to become en-
thusiastic in her participation.
The Council members must
realize their responsibilities of
voicing the opinions of their
fellow classmates, and becom-
ing active in organizing and
carrying through functions in
order to make them successful.
Therefore, in order that Social
Council become a more effective
organization on campus, the
Council members must en-
courage enthusiasm among
fellow students which will lead
to better communication of
criticisms and compliments.

Christian Association

KRISTA WOLTER

What kind of organization do
you think CA should be?

The Christian Association
should seek to meet the spiritual
needs of the campus as a whole.
It should provide fellowship, op-
portunities for service, and
means to grow in the knowledge
of God.

Are there any changes you
would like to make?

Yes. I would like to see the
structure of CA changed; i.e.,
instead of only board members
involved, I would like to see the
total association meeting
regularly and active in CA's
work. The concept I have in mind

is a program based on student
ideas and student participation
aimed at students' interests.

Why do you feel qualified for
this position?

I have been involved in CA
since I have been at Scott having
responsibilities in areas of dorm
Bible study leader, co-chairman
of Focus on Faith and secretary I
feel like I have a pretty good
grasp of where CA is and where I
want it to go; as Chairman of the
Constitutional committee, I have
been dealing with the future
plans of CA. Most importantly, I
believe the president of CA
should be seeking to serve God; I
do have a personal relationship
with Jesus and have given Him
control of my life.

Athletic Association

Lisa DeGrandi

SALLY HARRIS

Why do you want to become
AA President, and what can AA
offer to the student body?

As stated in the Agnes Scott
Handbook, the purpose of
Athletic Association is to
"promote interest in athletic and
recreational activities among
the students, as a means of
creating spirit, encouraging
good sportsmanship, and
developing physical fitness "
With this purpose in mind, it is
my desire to become President
of Athletic Association in order
to encourage increased
participation in the various ac-

The Athletic Association of
Agnes Scott has begun playing a
more active role in the college
community over the past year,
mainly as a result of the
broadened scope of activities
sponsored by the board. As the
results of a survey taken last
year indicate, field hockey,
basketball and Softball do not
appeal to all members of the
student body Athletic As-
sociation sponsored two new
programs this year (jogging and
soccer) in order to increase the
choices of activities in which
students may participate
Finally, since Athletic As-

sociation serves the college
community, requests for the
sponsorship of new programs
and improvements of old ones
are welcomed and are carefully
considered before a decision to
accept or reject them is reached.
Athletic Association thus gives
the student body an opportunity
to participate in athletic ac-
tivities and to aid in the planning
of them.

campus community, particularly
the student body.

JENNIFER WILLIAMS
AA PRESIDENT

Why do you want to become
A A President, and what can A A
offer to the student body?

I particularly would like to
become Vice-President since I
have been a member of AA for
one year which was accidental.
Nevertheless, I do think I have
the ability and determination to
become AA President as well.
The reason that I want to
become one of the above-men-
tioned officers is that I am a
strong believer in Athletics,
socializing character
development, health and
exercise among many other
relevant beliefs. Since I have
such a strong belief in these
things, I will do my very best in
providing activities and
programs for the student wide
body as well as the campus com-
munity. AA is very vital to this
college since ASC stresses
character development and
liberal arts Therefore it iscrucial
that AA serves the needs of the

LISA BOSWICK
AA PRESIDENT

Why do you want to become
AA President, and what can AA
offer to the student body?

The Athletic Association is a
vital part of any college campus
because it provides ways for
students to express themselves
athletically. Athletics in any
form is an excellent way to stay
in shape, release tension, and
stay mentally alert. The Athletic
Association can provide these
things in addition to providing
the facilities and materials
needed for them. It can also
provide an atmosphore for
growing with team members
and companions.

SHERI BROWN

What are your qualifications for
the office of President of your
class?

I've been very involved with
my class for the last three years
My Sophomore year I served as
chairman of the tea dance com-
mittee for Sophomore Parents'
Weekend and was involved in
several of the productions -held
during the weekend This year I
served as Chairman of Black Cat
and worked some with the
Junior Jaunt Talent Show
Through these specific in-
volvements and many other
"behind the scenes'' helps I
learned what it takes to make a
project successful

In general is there anything that
you would like to see yourclass
accomplish?

I would like to see the Class of
1980 win the Spirit award at
Black Cat next year, to see us
strengthen ourselves as a
unified body working towarc
specific goals and likewise to bt
diligent in strengthening those
individuals who will continue on
after we leave toward setting
and achieving their goals I
wou Id I ike to see us as a class be
more informed than ever on Rep
Council developments and
career and graduate school op-

portunities. I would also like to
see us make a wise and
calculated decision as to what
gift we will leave the school

SANDY BURSON

What are your qualifications for
the office of President of your
class?

In the last two years, I have
served as vice-president of the
sophomore class as well as
president of the junior class
During the past year I have
learned a great deal about work-
ing not only with individual
members, but with the class as a
whole, and would like to con-
tinue working and improving
with them in the coming year.

In general is there anything that
you would like to see yourclass
accomplish?

Yes, I would very much like to
see my class become a unified
body which will enjoy working
together to make our final year at
Scott the best yet!

One of our main projects,
Senior Investiture, will take
place early in the fall quarter I
would like to see an enthusiastic
Senior class begin by leading the
entire campus through a
successful Black Cat, then work
together on Senior Investiture
and all other class projects in an-

ticipation of Graduation at the
close of the year.

The activities of the Senior
class are necessarily very
traditional ones, but these
special events such as Inves-
titure, Capping and Graduation
we will carry with us in the many
years to come.

CINDY DANTZLER

What are your qualifications for
the office of President of your
class?

Because I have held an office
in several organizations on cam-
pus, I feel that I am capable of
handling the responsibilities of
the president of the Senior class
I have served as vice-president
of the Class of 1980, as
treasurer of Social Council, and
as Black Cat Production director
I have also served on the Board
of Student Activities and on
Dorm Council for one year Serv-
ing as vice-president of the Class
of 1980 enabled me to
understand the basic duties re-
quired of a class officer As
treasurer of Social Council, I
learned the importance of hav-
ing a businesslike attitude in
holding an office Being Black
Cat Production director taught
me to be an organized leader in
that I had a tremendous amount
of work to do in a relatively short

success. In the past years I have
enjoyed getting to know the
freshmen and transfer students
as well astheir parents. Meeting
people is a hobby of mine that I
enjoy. One of my goals for the
next year will be for more
upperclassmen to take the
initiative to learn the new smiley
faces on campus. After all,
Agnes Scott is listed as a
woman's college and not as a
college for freshmen and
upperclassmen.

Do you feel that
upperclassmen should be in-
volved in the orientation
program?

I definitely feel that
upperclassmen are an essential
part of a successful orientation
program. By participating in the
Big Sistem program, serving on
discussion panels, and atten-
ding social events planned for
the newcomers, upperclassmen
cannot only get to know many
freshmen, but also can con-
tribute greatly to the orientation
program. But. perhaps the best
way for upperclassmen to help
Freshmen orientation is to
generate a warm and friendly at
mosphere on campus

Do you fee that the Big Sister
Program is effective?

I feel that the "Big Sister"
program is the best thing that
ever happened to Freshman
orientation. The one-to-one
correspondence between a
freshman and her Big Sister,
beginning in the summer and
continuing throughout the year,
seems to me to be the most
effective way to make freshmen
feel welcome. Through this
program, everyone has at least
one friend waiting for them
when they arrive! The effec-
tiveness of the program lies with
the "Big Sister" and how well
she accepts her responsibility to
be sensitive to the needs of a
homesick, frightened, or

amount of time. I feel another
important qualification is that I
have taken the initiative to find
out exactly what the res-
ponsibilities of the Senior class
president involve and what her
duties to the class are.

I have always been involved in
campus activities and
organizations and am interested
in the campus community. I feel
these qualifications will enable
me to organize and direct the ac-
tivities of the Senior class and to
successfully fulfill the res-
ponsibilities required of the
Senior class president

In general is there anything that
you would like to see yourclass
accomplish?

As Senior class president, I
would like to keep the spirit of
class unity alive by encouraging
everyone to actively participate
in both class and campus ac-
tivities Rather than sponsoring
many diverse activities, I feel it is
more important that we concen-
trate on getting every class
member involved in special

insecure freshman.

Why do you feel qualified for
this position?

As a sophomore, I served as
Social Chairman of Orientation
Council. I enjoyed planning and
working with other members of
the Cm unci I in helping freshmen
to make a smooth transition
from home to school. I've had
experience serving as an officer
in several organizations on cam-
pus which required efficiency,
responsibility, and organization.
I think that the existing program
is good, but I have ideas for im-
provements such as reducing
the number of mandatory
freshmen meetings and more in-
volvements with the return - to -
college students and increasing
upperclassmen participation.
Lastly, I feel qualified for the
position of Orientation Council
Chairman because I still
remember what it was like to be
a freshman and I think that one
must have empathy before tak-
ing this job.

PAXON COLLINS

What are yourqualificationsfor
the office of President of your
class?

Serving on the Athletic As-
sociation board for three years
and as Secretary / Treasurer
this year, I have learned the most
effective ways for a board to
work and have realized the im-
portance of communication with
the entire student body. From
serving as a major committee
head during my Freshman and
Sophomore years, I have worked
with most of the members of my
class and feel that I know their
aims and desires for our class.

Senior Class cont.

In general is there anything that
you would like to accomplish?

Since the senior class is an
example for all other classes to
follow, I feel thattheir leadership
within the class must be most
effective. This past year our
class made up a great majority of
the cast of the Black Cat Produc-
tion. Therefore, we were unable
to spend any great deal of time in
other areas. The class of 1 980 is
certainly active and not
apathetic. Our senior year is the
most important time to showour

enthusiasm. We need to com-
municate through an even
stronger advisory council.

I would like to start some kind
of activity that would again in-
volve our parents in our college
life. One idea is Senior Fathers'
weekend such as other colleges
in the southeast have. Another
idea is some kind of planned
weekend for Senior investiture.

Most of all I would like our
class to work as a whole and to
contribute our leadership to the
student body.

The Pervasive Power of ETS

by Ralph Nader

The next time you pick up a
well-sharpened No. 2 pencil and
begin to hurriedly answer a
standardized, multiple-choice
test, chances are that your test is
one of more than eight million
given annually by the
Educational Testing Service
(ETS). You may know ETS
manufactures SATs, LSATs,
GREs and GMATs. With these
tests alone, ETS influences the
educational and career op-
portunities of millions of people.
But the power of ETS does not
begin or end with those tests.
ETS markets 299 different tests
ETS tests are used to determine
entrance to over 60 occupations
including firefighters, actuaries,
policemen, real estate brokers,
sailors, teachers, gynecologists,
engineers, and auto mechanics
ETS test results are the stan-
dards of access to some of the
most powerful professions:
Foreign Service officers, New
York stockbrokers, lawyers in
over 40 states, CIA agents Two
million elementary students
take ETS tests, and ETS is even
developing ways to test infants.
ETS helps determine who will be
eligible for financial aid and how
much they will receive The
financial information ETS ob-
tains on nearly two million
families is more detailed than a
mortgage application or an IRS
return. ETS consultants and
trainees help shape education
and labor allocation policy in
scores of countries, including
Singapore, Brazil, and Saudi
Arabia. And ETS has test centers
in 1 20 countries.

In thirty years, probably 90
million people have had their
schooling, jobs, prospects for ad-
vancement, and beliefs in their
own potential directly shaped b*'
the quiet but pervasive power o :
ETS.

What is the Educational Tes-
ting Service? How has it cen-
tralized so much power? Is it ac-
countable to anyone, or
anything? Should your op-
portunities be so influenced by
ETS' standards of aptitude or
intelligence?

Despite its massive influence,
few people question ETS.
Students may want to tear up
test forms in moments of frus-
tration, but few of us think of
challenging the corporation that
makes the tests. We will soon
release a lengthy report on ETS,

written by Allan Nairn, which we
hope will help people
understand, and question, the
unique and unregulated power
of this corporation.

Indeed, ETS is, in non-dollar
ways, a large corporation. It has
more customers per year than
GM and Ford combined. Despite
its non-profit status, it declares
roughly a million dollars in "non-
profits" each year. This money is
plowed back into corporate
expansion and maintaining the
ETS estate, which indues a 400
acre headquarters in Princeton,
New Jersey, a $250,000 home
for the president, William
Turnbull, and a three million
dollar hotel / conference center
all built with student test fees.
Its revenue from test fees
enabled ETS to double in size
every five years from 1948 to
1972, a rate of growth faster
than IBM

ETS's sales and near
monopoly power, combined with
its privileged legal status as a
non-profit corporation, make it
unprecedented in corporate his-
tory. ETS is exempt from federal
and state income taxes, is effec-
tively beyond the reach of many
anti-trust laws, and has no stoc-
kholders. ETS escapes the res-
traints governing other
corporations because it is an
"educational" institution.

The power of ETS is massive,
as even one ETS executive
conceded. "No matter what they
try totell you here about how we
really don't have much power,"
he said, "we know we do. We
know we're the nation's
gatekeeper." This gatekeeper
can determine who enters
college, graduate and profes-
sional schools, as well as many
occupations and professions, Is

Arts Council

GRACE HAILEY

Why do you want to run for
Arts Council Chairman?

I feel that all the Arts on this
campus are important as in-
dividual forms of creativity and
as one unified expression of
creativity. I want the campus to
be able to explore all these forms
from Dance, Theatre, Music, Art
to explore all forms of
creativity. This is because I feel
that this is so important to our
personal growth. We are so tied
to strict academic learning here
at Scott which is good, please do
not m isinterpret me, but we also
need outlets to alleviate some of
the pressure we face. I feel that
the Arts Council can do this and
as Art Council Cpairman this
would be a major goal of mine. I
have been involved in the Arts
my past three years at Agnes
Scott and this past year I have
held the office of Vice President
of Art Club and also Secretary of
Arts Council. I feel that I have
some insights into what people
need and want done on this
campus to make it a more varied
and enjoyable place. I want this
job because I care.

What goals do you have for
Arts Council next year to make
it a more effective
organization?

I would like to see Arts Council
become an open sounding board
for the students. I want the
students to say what and who
they want to see on this campus
and for us to try and fulkill their
wishes.

China Tour

The Friends of the Museum, Georgia Museum of Art, will sponsor
a 17-day trip to the People's Republic of China from August 14
through August 30, 1979. The delegation from the Friends of the
Museum will be limited to 1 5 persons and the group will visit Hong
Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, Peking, and Canton. Ten other travelers will
join the Friends group for departure from Los Angeles. Visitors to
China will see a country which only recently opened its doors to
foreigners after being closed for more than quarter of a century.
When tours to China become more popular and Western influences
more pronounced, travel there will be less interesting. Plan now to
go with us in August. The group leader for the Friends Trip to China
will be William D. Paul, Jr., Director of the Georgia Museum of Art.

great success because of apathy
on the part of the student body. I
would like to work with the
format of Junior Jaunt and make
Junior Jaunt a more successful
way of raising money for the
chosen charity.

Also, the Junior year is the
true body of our four years at
Agnes Scott. After one year of
orientation in college life and our
sophomore year of studying the
declaring our major, the junior
year is a year in which we know
where we are headed. I would
like to see the Junior class as
one body working together to
make not only Junior Jaunt and

entire junior year at Agnes Scott
successful.

In general is there anything that
you would like to see yourclass
accomplish?

I think that the sophomore
year is perhaps the most im-
portant year of a 4 year college
education for the simple fact that
a grasp of 150 different, in-
dividual people have had a year
to orient themselves to their
surroundings and to each other
and the time comes to stop ad-
justing and start uniting that
time being the sophomore year.
The most important goal for my
class as I see it would be to fully
realize our potential as a single
unit (and to lay that potential
down as a strong foundation for

the future years). After a year of
mingling and living with each
other, I feel the freshman class
needs a point where they can all
join to share their individuality
as a group I would like to see
that point defined during
sophomore year and I would like
to work in helping define it

several other groups, not only in
high school, but in my church as
well. I have been a delegate to
my Diocesan Council for two
years. Though this is a represen-
tative and not presidential job, I
feel it shows my interest in what
is going on and how my group
can make an impact as a whole
on people (I had to almost "sell"
youth in my church to the adults
because they had gotten a bad
name). Therefore I got my group
together and working together.

Nader, cont.

that power legitimate?

ETS defends its role as the
gatekeeper by claiming it has
developed the "science of men-
tal measurement," but as our
report will argue, the tests
measure nothing more than how
you answered a few multiple-
choice questions The
correlation between SAT scores
and first-year grades in college,
for example, is often lower than
the correlation between the test
scores and the income of the test
taker's parents. At best, stan-
dardized tests measure the
specialized skill of test-taking,
but they do not measure key
determinants of success such as
writing and research skill, ability
to make coherent arguments,
creativity, motivation, stamina,
ludgment, experience, or ethics

ETS not only influences how
institutions |udge individuals,
however; it also influences how
individuals |udge themselves
As Nairn says. "A false self-es
timate or image is instilled in the
mind of the individual who
receives a standardized test
score For although the scores
are significantly determined by
social class, he is told they are
objective, scientific measures of
the individual "

Moreover, test takers are sub
ieci to numerous injustices,
rangingfrom incorrect scoring of
tests, to late reporting of ap-
plicant information, to secret
evaluation of grades and test
scores and they have no
recourse.

We must begin to examine the
examiners

There is a growing movement
to reform and restructure the
testing industry In New York,
Ohio, Texas, and other states,
student run Public Interest
Research Groups (PIRGs) have
introduced "Truth in Testing"
legislation in their state

legislatures This legislation
would force ETS and other tes-
ting companies to disclose the
test questions and answers, and
all studies and data on the tests;
it would also require companies
to keep information on ap-
plicants confidential Disclosing
test answers would enable
students to contest disputed
answers, and thus eliminate
much of the mystery surroun-
ding the tests ETS has said it is
willing to release 99% of its test
data But. Nairn says, the bulkof
this 99% is the material provided
by the test-takers themselves
name, social security number,
etc Nairn says it is crucial to dis-
close that last one percent, S it
includes ETS's extrapolations
from the information provided by
test-takers such as predic-
tions of future academic
success

The testing reform movement
has other facets Jesse Jackson
is organizing around the issue of
the ETS National Teacher
Examinations which have
systematically eliminated
qualified black applicants from
teaching jobs The FTC has ap-
parently found, contrary to ETS
claims, that certain kinds of prep
or cram courses can raise test
scores but the report has been
withheld at this time And
several members of Congress
have called for an investigation
of the testing industry

Students now have op-
portunities to challenge the test
makers

in projects It always seems like

get out and do something. I hope
that enthusiasm, ideas for new

especially) and organization pro-
jected by the President may help
decrease apathy. Though these
are not very concrete goals,
except for the idea of something
new for the Sophomore part of

apathy is definitely one of the
biggest problems a President

would hope the concrete goals
would come as feedback from

how a board can, and should, be
run efficiently. As president of
the sophomore class. I will try to
unite our class. Much of our
class spirit and sense of unity
died after Black Cat because we
had nothing to strive for. I feel
there is not only a case of
student apathy, but also teacher
apathy Few teachers have taken
an active part in such activities
as Black Cat or Sophomore
Parents Weekend. I will work to
create a sense of unity and bring
a little more of the homecoming
spirit back into life at Agnes

What are your qualifications for
the office of president of your
class?

I am a junior, I would like to be
president of my class I was
Black Cat Chairman for
Sophomores in charge of
Sophomore parents luncheon. I
am interested in my class as a
whole and would like to get more
involved.

In general is there anything that
you would like to see yourclass
accomplish?

I would like to work on getting
more people involved in more

Applicants Look Us Over

This year, Applicants'
Weekend, sponsored by the
SAR's is scheduled for the 1 9th -
20th of April. Applicants'
Weekend is designed to increase
our pre-enrollment retention, to
generate a high number of
enrolled freshmen from our ap-
plicant pool. Last year of the 69
applicants attending, 79% ac-
tually enrolled. Secondly,
because participants in this two
day experience at Agnes Scott
must be applicants, some
students who intend to apply
may do so at an earlier date.
Statistics indicate that those
students who have visited the
campus are likely to apply and
enroll.

Applicants will register in the
Hub between 3 - 5:00 p.m. on
Thursday. The schedule of
events includes a dessert and
welcome by Dr. Perry and Dean
Gary, classes, a lecture by Mrs.
Pepperdene on "Choosing a
Liberal Arts College" and a
Parents' Coffee. Special events
will include the Agnes Scott
Glee Club's annual Spring
Concert and a College Com-
munity Bowl. Parents are being
encouraged to attend these
events to give them a view of the

College.

Applicants' Weekend is two
days this year rather than the
three of previous years. The
events of the weekend will give
applicants a concise yet intense
view of the campus and college
community.

S.G.A. President Looks Forward To Office

by Kemper Hatfield,
S.G.A. President
1979-1980

I panicked when I saw all of
last year's officers yelling
"Hooray!"' as they turned over
their duties to their successors.
Yet it was encouraging to see the
eager faces of the new officers. It
seems as if we all want so much
to make this a good and produc-
tive year.

Last weekend Agnes Scott
hosted the Southeastern
Women's College Conference. I
was pleased to see faces of non-
Rep members there, and I thank
all of you who participated in the
conference. The conference
couldn't have come at a better
time for me. I feel that I gained

many great ideas concerning
student government systems,
election procedures, and
freshman orientation. However,
my ideas alone aren't enough to
make this year a successful one,
just as the ideas of your Rep
Council aren't enough. We need
your ideas, your gripes, and
your compliments. Rep Council
is composed of hard workers
who want to work for you.

I would like to take this op-
portunity to thank Tish for the
excellent job she did as SGA
president. She was a hard and
devoted worker. I think all of us
on Rep last year felt close to her
and respected her. Tish has
certainly set a good example for
future SGA presidents.

Reflections On Elections

Elections are finally over, and
in looking back on them, I seem
to feel a touch of disap-
pointment. No reflection on our
new officer-holders. My inten-
tion is not to comment on
personalities, but rather to
evaluate the election itself.

Apathy, for lack of a better
word, seemed to be prevalent at
election time this year. For
instance there were ap-
proximately 1 1 unopposed of-
fices and 7 officers were left un-
filled. In a system of student
government such as we have at
Agnes Scott, it is inconceivable
to me that more students do not
jump at the chance to take on
leadership roles. Where else can
women do so much?

All students in good standing
may be nominated for office You
even get a second chance to get
your name on the ballot through
the petitioning procedure. Ana
yet, we still have a slim number
of students on the ballot at elec-
tion time What is bothersome to

me is that the idea of freedom of
choice is nullified. There is little
choice. In a sense, marginal
participation means marginal
representation.

Agnes Scott has various
groups on campus that wish to
be represented. They can do
something about that by getting
their choice for officers on the
ballot. That is the great ad-
vantage of our system. Op-
portunities for active and
assertive involvement abound.
The S.G.A. is our voice and our
power. Why don't more people
use it? Does everyone know of
the opportunities available? I
suggest another thorough read-
ing of your Handbook. It's all
there in black and white.

On a much more praiseworthy
note, the turnout at the polls was
reportedly good But
remember that voting is only
meaningful when there are
names on the ballot.

And there you have my reflec-
timns on elections. Comments?

Letters

To The Students:

In order to aid negotiations
with the Soviet Union the Glee
Club requested that several
national leaders send us letters

of endorsement. We have
received letters from United
States Senators Sam Nunn and
Herman Talmadge and from
Congressman Elliot Levitas. All
three letters are quite com-
plimentary and comment on the
importance of cultural exchange

in bringing greater understan d
ding among nations. We are
proud to have this recognition
and we hope that our tour'to
Russia may be of great benefit
for all involved.

Sincerely,

Dear Agnes Scott Students:

The Disco Party scheduled for
April 28 has been cancelled due
to the destructive behavior of
certain fellow students and
guests at past Disco parties. As
long as such behavior continues,
the opportunity to have other
social activities will be taken
away. Since the Honor Code in-
cludes social activities, each
student is expected to set an
example and also to report any
maladaptive behavior to a Social
Council member, a faculty
member, or security. Let's not
take advantage of our op-
portunity to have social ac-
tivities We can all have fun
without immature behavior.

Thanks,
Social Council

The National Invitational Color
Blend Print Exhibition, 1978-
1 980, featuring blended color in
original lithographs, serigraphs,
collographs and relief prints,
went on display at Agnes Scott
College Sunday, April 8. The
public is invited to the opening
reception Sunday from 2 to 5
p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts
Building.

The Color Blend Print
Exhibition is open to the public,
free of charge, April 8 through
April 29, Monday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.;
Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m.

The National Invitational Color
Blend Print Exhibition was
organized by the art
departments of Georgia

University of Mississippi with
partial funding from the National
Endowment for the Arts and the
Georgia Council for the Arts and
Humanities through the
Southern Arts Federation.

Represented in the exhibition
are two Georgia printmakers,
Jim McLean of Atlanta and Tom
Hammond of Athens. The other
artists are from throughout the
country from Massachusetts to
California. Among them are two
major figures in the use of the
color blend technique, Garo An-
treasian of New Mexico and
Juergen Strunck of Texas.

According to the catalog for
the exhibition, the print show
presents the viewer with "a
stimulating range of subjects."
These subjects include "Jim

Hammond's enchanted rustic
environment, Phyllis Bramson's
mulit-flavored food stuffs and
Gary Nisswonger's beckoning
but impenetrable fibrous
screens."

The use of color blending
within the 40 prints in the show,
according to the catalog,
"ranges from one or two ultra-
thin lines about five inches long
in Marc Bjorklund's 'l/ll Object'
to the spellbinding wizardry of
bleed-printed crosscurrents in
Juergen Strunck's 'Conisis' and
'Calonim'."

Scheduled for showing in the
South and Midwest, the
National Invitational Color Blend
Print Exhibition has been or will

Southern College and the McLean's fanciful airforce, Tom be displayed at other sites.

Cologne Cathedral Celebrates Centenary

'The Cologne Cathedral," an
exhibit of photographs by Win-
fried Kralisch of Europe's largest
cathedral, is on display at Agnes
Scott College in McCain Library
until April 25. The exhibition
contains rare shots of the in-
tricate architecture and
stonework of what most critics
consider to be the masterpiece
of German Gothic cathedrals.

The public is invited to view
"The Cologne Cathedral"
exhibit, free of charge, in

McCain Library 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,
Monday through Friday; 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m., Saturday; and 1 :30to 9
p.m., Sunday.

Sponsoring the exhibit are the
Atlanta Goethe Institute and the
Agnes Scott German
department.

This exhibit was com-
missioned by the city of Cologne,
West Germany, in celebration of
the upcoming centenary of the
completion of the Cathedral.
Although the foundation of the

building was laid in 1248, the
towers were not completed until
1880. In spite of the extended
period of construction and its
great size, critics agree that the
cathedral presents a remarkable
unity of design.

Kralisch, photographer for the
Cologne Cathedral exhibit, is a
free-lance photographer who
has photographed in Ceylon (Sri
Lanka), Paris and the Aran
Islands of the Republic of
Ireland.

Grace Haley Wants Unified Arts

The Art's Council, consisting
of representatives from each of
the fine arts clubs on campus, is
launching into its new year with
the primary goal, as chairman
Grace Haley states, of "bringing
unity to the arts on campus".
One of Arts Council's main
programs, aimed at tying the
clubs together, is the Art Fair,
which will take place April 27 -
29

Other functions of the Council
include sponsoring movies,

speakers, and musical groups.
Grace hopes that the students
will have a direct voice in choos-
ing the performers that come to
Scott. She feels that if the
students take a major part in
deciding upon these programs,
more of them will attend the
functions.

Grace also states that the Arts
page planned for the Profile will
serve as an effective outlet for
promoting the many arts ac-
tivities on campus. She plans to

have a "Suggestion Box" on the :
page so that students may state :
what activities interest them. :

Having been brought up to ap-
preciate the arts, Grace feels
that they can make a person
"more well rounded". In view of
this, her final goal for the Arts
Council is to make it possible for :
students to enjoy the arts offered :
in Atlanta. She hopes that these :
programs, with the ones offered :
at Scott, would give the students :
a wider variety of arts and ideas. :

Dr. Paul Garber Hosts Bible Lands Tour

"My aunt would like that,"
was a recent student response
when Dr. Paul L. Garber, Profes-
sor Emeritus of Bible and
Religion, told a college class
about the trip to the Bible lands
which the Alumnae Association
has asked Mrs. Garber and him
to conduct March 23 April 1 0,
1980.

Dr. Garber taught at the
college 1943-1976 and is
internationally known for
research done on the Howland-
Garber Model Reconstruction of
Solomon's Temple. Mrs. Garber
is an experienced church Bible
teacher. Both have travelled
many times in the Bible lands
and led tours. The 1 980 tour is a
service offered to friends and

alumnae of the college. Those
who make the pilgrimage, the
Garbers promise, will never
afterward read their Bibles the
same way.

The most beautiful and com-
fortable time to be in the Bible
lands, according to the Garbers,
is in the spring. The green of the
hillsides is interlaced with red,
yellow and white wildflowers,
"the lillies of the field." The land
looks like an oriental carpet.

To be in Jerusalem at Easter,
the Garbers know, is an un-
forgettable and inspiring
experience.

The tour, which goes directly
from Atlanta to the Middle East
via Europe, is to include: Two
days in Damascus, the city, old in

Abraham's day, where Saul
became St. Paul; two days in
Jordan with an overnight at
rose-red Petra; four days in
northern Israel where Jesus
grew up and had his ministry; six
days of Holy Week in Jerusalem
and Bethlehem; a day's
excursion by air to Moses'
mountain, Mt. Sinai; two days in
southern Israel seeing
Beersheba, Masada, Gumran
(the Dead Sea Scrolls com-
munity) and Jericho where the
walls came tumbling down.

Details, including the price,
will be sent to those interested.

'Round Campus!;::

Have you been looking for
Security lately? Maybe you were
wondering why you haven't
noticed the Green Machine
zoom around campus. SURELY
you didn't think that the guards
had resorted to walking
everywhere! No, they have sim-
ply acquired a new vehicle. The
other car seemed to have lost its
"get up and go." So if you're in
need of some help, look for the
white Chevy, parked in its brand
new designated parking space.
You can't miss it right in front

Buttrick Preview

/

Yes, the rumor you have been
hearing about another problem
with the completion of Buttrick is
true. The contractor who had
won the bid to do the roofing of
the building has decided not to
do the job. Therefore, bids must
be re-let to finish the
undertaking. The leaky roof has
been a major problem because
such things as laying the carpet
must be forestalled until the
repairs are made. Mr Lee
Barclay, vice-president of
business affairs, told a reporter
that he was confident that we
will be back in Buttrick in the fall.
Does this sound familiar?!

Left: New doors and lighting
and a brighter look for the
second floor.

Right: One of the many rooms
where supplies are kept for the
big job. Much of the furniture
refinishing and building has
taken place in rooms like this to
cut down on much of the costs
involved.

Writer's Festival Features Harry Crews

Best-selling novelist and
native Georgian Harry Crews
read from his works and served
as a faculty member at the
Eighth Annual Agnes Scott
College Writers' Festival held
April 11 and 12.

Two other professional
writers who joined Crews for the
Festival were Donald Davie, one
of Britain's leading poets and
critics, and Josephine Jacobsen,
Honorary Consultant in
American Letters to the Library
of Congress.

Crews, author of eight novels
ranging from The Gospel Singer
(1 968) to A Feast of
Sankes 1976), read and
commented on his works

Wednesday in Agnes Scott's
Presser Hall. His most recent
oook, A Childhood: The
Biography of a Place, is a non-
fiction work about his birthplace,
Alma, Ga., and surrounding
Bacon County. Critics have ac-
claimed it as one of the best
books of 1978.

Crews, whose eight novels
"abound with the products of
evil circumstances," described
himself in an interview with
Steve Oney of the Atlanta
Journal and Constitution
Magazine (May 15, 1977) as a
"stomp-down hard-core

A.A. President Greets Campus

Hi, all of you fellow Scotties
who are trying to work off that
extra poundage from Winter
Quarter! To those of you who
miraculously managed to stay
trim, I also bid a hearty "hello" -
and congratulations for abstain-
ing from the candy machines
last quarter!

Next year appears to be a
promising and exciting one for
athletics, but the only way to
make the various activities spon-
sored by A.A. completely
successful is with your in-
creased participation. Athletic
Association will do all it can to
organize sports, however since
you are the ones who swing the
bats and bounce the balls, I
would like to see each of you
who currently participate in
athletics bring your friends to
practice. Do not let them develop
the "study slouch"! And to those

of you who are inactive
athletically because you are
afraid you may make a fool of
yourself, I would like to reassure
you that no one will notice an oc-
casional goof because everyone
you see shooting baskets or
playing softball has made plenty
of goofs herself. So come on
down and join the fun'

By the way, some of the fun
things you can participate in
next year will be the favorites, of
course: hockey, basketball,
exercise class, and softball.
Hopefully more of you who do
not mind the brisk winter air will
come out for soccer. It really
wakes you up after a three-hour
lab! Mr. Leslie is eager to have

more joggers in the fall and spr-
ing also! Remember, running re-
quires no coordination but
makes you feel great! New
events will be a hike and
hopefully a field day, both in the
spring.

If this article has inspired you
to go out and get in shape, only
you are thinking, "But what can I
do this quarter," the answer is,
"Play softball!" Check the
schedule in your dorm for prac-
tice and game times

Blue Book Issue Confronted

Footnotes

By Jenny Spencer
Chairman of Honor Court

Recently some confusion has
arisen regarding the change in
policy having to do with turning
in all blue books simultaneously
with the exam envelope. As a
result of this confusion I would
like to clarify the original
purpose of this newly instituted
procedure and at the same time
hopefully alleviate some of the
misconceptions which have
arisen.

At the beginning of Winter
Quarter 1979 the Exam Com-
mittee, composed of several
faculty members and Dean Hud-
son, metwith Honor Courttodis-
cuss the effectiveness of our
present exam system. During
that meeting the point was
brought to our attention that
there was some inconsistency in
our procedure regarding blue
books in the exam envelopes.
Some students were turning in
their blue books simultaneously
with their exam envelopes and
many other students brought
their blue books on the day of the
exam. In order to alleviate this
inconsistency and in order to
make it most convenient for the
students the general consensus
concluded that all blue books
should be turned
simultaneously in with the exam
envelope. It was also decided
that extra blue books would be
available in the room where
exams were given.

This decision did not develop
on the premise of lack of trust in
our student body; however, it
was more a matter of general
procedure to add structure to our
system. All students are trusted
at Agnes Scott College, and hav-
ing the privilege of self-schedule
exams should be evidence
enough for that fact. Also, we do
not try to inconvenience the

students but attempt to satisfy
their needs to the best of our
ability.

I would like to thank Wendy
Brooks and Melody Richardson
for bringing to our attention the
fact that some students were
dissatisfied with the decision
and felt that it violated their
personal sense of trust. As a
result the new Honor Court
Board met to reevaluate the
decision. The new board
members conducted an informal
mini-survey questioning many
of the students on their feelings
about this new procedure. Many
students feltthat having the blue
books already turned in provided
a convenience for the students
and would alleviate the problem
of forgetting to bring a blue book
to the exam. Other students said
they agreed with the new policy
change, but they feltthis change
had not been communicated
well to the students. Very few
students were strongly opposed
to the new policy.

The final result of this
reevaluation is that the new
policy will continue to stay in
effect, and this means that all
students will turn in their blue
books simultaneously with their
exam envelopes. If a student has
an unused blue book at the con-
clusion of the exam period, the
unused book can be taken back
to her room to be used another
quarter.

Our new board realizes that a
great lack of communication oc-
curred when this new procedure
became instituted, and we hope
to alleviate this lack of com-
munication in all future matters.
We would like to be open and
available to every students and
we hope that you will continue to
cmme to us when a problem
arises.

f . 'The Sky Is Falling'

THE STUDIO DANCE THEATRE of Agnes Scott College will
present "Contemporary Dance Medley/' a program of modern
dance, jazz and ballet April 26 and 27 at 8:15 p.m. in Pressor
Hall. From left to right: Ginni Rockwell, Sarah Windham, Patti
Tucker and Dawn Sparks.

Darling's Darlings
Give Dance Theatre

On April 26-27 the Studio
Dance Theatre will perform its
annual spring concert at 8:15
p.m. in Presser Hall. This year's
program will feature student
works choreographed to
contemporary musical selec-
tions and one revised classical
composition.

The dance movements vary
widely, from modern balletto tap
to jazz. Vany of the dances are to
be appreciated simply for the
way in which the movement
follows and corresponds to the
flow of the music. Some follow a
particular story line, while still
others are intended to create a
specific feeling or express an
idea. Mrs. Marilyn Darling's
dance. "Priere" will feature
guest harpist Jane Anderson
Lindenborg. The lighting is by Liz
Lee, an Agnes Scott alumna who
is returning for the eighth year.

The dance troupe has already
held various performances in
the Atlanta area. Last Christmas
they were invited to appear in
the annual event of "Christmas
at Callonwalde." In February the

dance theatre gave a kids' show
designed especially for
audiences between the ages of
three and eleven. In March, the
troupe went to Pine Isle, Lake
Lanier to dance for the annual
convention of the Georgia As-
sociation of Health, Physical
Education, and Recreation.

Studio Dance Theatre has
received national recognition in
Dance Vagazine, 1 978, and local
recognition by the Alvin Ailey
Dance Company

Other works on the program
will include a modern dance en-
titled "Bach: Switched-On," a
jazz ballet set to Chuck
Mangione's "It Feels So Good"
and a folk dance of movements
adapted from Scottish Highland
dancing and set to Judy Collins'
version of "Bonnie Ship the
Diamond." Still other dances are
entitled "Bluegrass on Fire,"
"Little Blue Devil," "The
Naughty Lady," "Collage de
Satie" and "Gonna Boogie
Tonight."

Arts Fair

The Annual Arts Fair will be Saturday, April 28 from 9:30 un-
tii 1 2:00 noon on the Hockey Field. Each of the creative groups
on campus will be displaying and/or selling goods. Both the
Blackfriars and the Studio Dance Theatre will perform in the
Ampitheatre during the Fair. There will also be a wine, cheese
and bread booth, so y'all come on out! I

Aurora Deadline

April 27

By Hilja Dodd

Jim Peck's new comedy,
"Heavenly Shades of Night Are
Falling," plays April 13 through
May 1 2 at the Academy Theatre.
The title is a line from an old
Platter's tune, 'Twilight Time"
which is the background music
to the play. However, it is not a
play about the 50's. It is a

contemporary comedy that takes
place in a large American city on
July Fourth.

The setting is a revolving res-
taurant atop an unfinished
skyscraper. The characters are
Edward, the architect; Howie,
the contractor; Wanda, the
manager; Janelle, the interior
decorator; Alan, the boss; Alice,

the super-star singer; Tanya, a
slightly crazy young girl; and
Rich, the criminal. Each
character is out to satisfy his
needs through Alan, a God like
character. Their efforts and his
decisions make a humorous
story. The only complaint was
that the second act dragged out.
Otherwise, the play was amus-
ing and worth seeing.

it.

In fact, movie-making has
become such a frequent activity
in Georgia that it is possible to
wander by a movie set quite
unintentionally. No doubt, many
of the office workers, shoppers
and tourists strolling through
the Omni complex one day last

spring were happily surprised to
spy John Huston by the ice rink.
Taking a break during filming of
Swan American Productions'
'The Visitor," and wearing
ordinary clothing, Huston could
easily have been just another
spectator a person to whom
one might have commented
casually on the tangle of cables
and the bright lights until a
closer look at that bearded face
revealed him to be one of the
stars of the film.

At least one celebrity appears
in almost every parade, but who
would expect to find one at his
elbow seeking out the best van-
tage point just like all the other

onlookers? At last year's St.
Patrick's Day Parade in Savan-
nah, some unsuspecting
merrymaker probably turned to
compliment the high-stepping
bands and cavorting clowns to
his neighbor only to discover
Ernest Borgnine looking over his
shoulder. Sporting an en-
thusiastic grin and obviously en-
joying himself, Borgnine took in

the colorful festivities with the
rest of Savannah during time off
from the everyday routine of
filming Mulberry Square
Productions' "The Double
McGuffin."

But if you are one of those
dedicated star-watchers who
prefer not to leave that special
glimpse of a Hollywood VIP to

Acting Company Performs
Before Large Audience

By Lee Kite
A.'ts/Entertainment Editor

"Neither rain, nor TORNADO,
nor gloom of night . . ." Despite
the weather, Gaines Chapel was
full of eager viewers April 1 2 in
order to see the Acting Com-
pany's interpretation of Romeo
and Juliet. The force of nature
was forgotten as the old favorite
love story unfolded. Girls sighed
over Shakespeare's romantic
phrases while their dates
laughed at his bawdy jokes.
Mercutio and the Nurse were
once again the favorites. Tom
Robbins and Claudia Wilkens

excellently developed their
characters. For their efforts, they
received a standing ovation.

However, I felt that the others
were not quite up to par. While
both Romeo and Juliet were
good, their characters were not
as dynamic as Mercutio and the
Nurse. Even so, Charles Shaw-
Robinson and Leslie Geraci did
not even try to promote their
characters. Benvolio and Tybalt,
played by Daniel Corcoran and
Randle Mell, were not as
developed as I thought they
should be, and I found the Mon-
tagues (James Robert-Miller

and Laura Hicks) and the
Capulets (Matthew Kimbrough
and Frances Conroy) dull and
almost unnoticeable.

Despite my feelings on the
characters, I thought the
interpretation was great, direc-
tor Nagle Jackson really had his
group polished. The story was
smooth and not chopped up as it
often is. The ending, too, was
unique. The Acting Company's
Romeo saw Juliet wake up, and
must have realized his mistake.

This unromantic almost felt
sorry for him.

Dr. Mani Kamerkar Returns To A.S.C.

Mrs. Mani Kamerkar is a visiting professor in the Department of
History and Political Science. Mrs. Kamerkar is the President of a
women's college in India.

The Department of History and
Political Science has gained a
visiting professor this quarter
with the arrival of Dr. Mani
Kamerkar from Bombay, India.
Dr. Kamerkar, president of
Noontan Mohila (New Woman)
College since its establishment
in 1972, is no stranger to the
Agnes Scott campus. Her first
visit was in the fall quarter in
1 971 , at the request of Dr. Penny
Campbell.

Dr. Kamerkar feels the
changes which have occurred
here since 1971 have been
paralleled by her own college in
India. "When Noontan Manila
opened, only a few^of the girls
were interested in careers
afterwards." Now, social and
economic conditions are

different and so are the plans of
her students. Business
management and home
economics courses supplement
the core curriculum of liberal
arts. This aids the students in
finding jobs. "Even in our
academic major," says Dr.
Kamerkar, "we have applied
courses."

Dr. Kamerkar encourages her
students to participate, as do
instructors in a government
sponsored literacy program. This
is a project Dr. Kamerkar is
especially proud to be helping
with. "Every day some group of
students go to the slums and
teach reading and birth control
methods." The students receive
credit, but Dr. Kamerkar thinks

they learn more than they teach.

Although the graduates of
Noontan Mahila are joining In-
dia's government and business
world, they still observe Indian
tradition. The college is non-
residential. Most of the students
live with their families until they
are married. Dr. Kamerkar says
only a few of her students date
and thatthey allowtheirfamilies
to arrange marriages.

Dr. Kamerkar has been in the
United States since March 3,
1979 with her daughter Jyoti,
who is attending classes at
Scott. When the quarter is over,
they must return immediately to
India, as Noontan Mahila begins
a new academic year June 20,
1 979 . The campus welcomes Dr.
Kamerkar and her daughter.

the caprices of fate, chances are
you've seen a lot of the notable
who have been working in
Georgia lately, especially if you
live in or near a city where film-
ing is fast becoming a matter of
course.

Georgians who happened to
be in Macon and the surroun-
ding area at just the right time
can boast of seeing Cicely Tyson
and Paul Winfield in action dur-
ing the filming of "King." and
Billy Dee Williams, James Earl
Jones and Richard Pryor also
visited the heart of Georgia with
'The Bingo Long Traveling All
Stars and Motor Kings."

Madison is often chosen as a

(continued from page 3)

location for filming because ot
its homespun qualities, and has
been described by one producer
as "the microcosm of
Americana." Citizens of this
Georgia city can claim Burgess
Meredith, Kristy McNichol and
other well-known personalities
as former short-term neighbors.

Coastal Georgians have been
privileged to host numerous
celebrities including Lome
Greene, Edward Asner, Lou
Gossett, LaVar Burton, Elke
Sommer, George Kennedy, Jon
Voight and Mike Douglas, to
name just a few.
Of course, Georgia has

regulars, too people who like

it here and make it a point to
come back. Having made his last
film in the Atlanta area, Tim
Conway seems to be sold on
Georgia, and is planning several
other projects in the nearfuture.
And Burt Reynolds has virtually
covered the state, filming four
movies on locations from the
northeast Georgia mountains to
the coastline, and even taking a
Georgia vacation now and then.

So if you haven't met your
favorite star yet, chances are
good that you may, because
more and more famous faces are
showing up for business and
pleasure right here in
Georgia.

from noon to 6 p.m. the last
weekend of the month. Three
dollars entitles visitors to view
homes in various stages of res-
toration, although there is no
charge for wandering about one
of the oldest residential areas in
the city.

Mayor Maynard Jackson has
proclaimed Saturday and Sun-
day "Inman Park Spring Festival
and Tour of Homes Days." The
mayor urged the public to
recognize "the important work"
of the neighborhood. He said In-
man Park "has assisted in
promoting the joys, benefits, and
conveniences of in-town living."

The "SmallTown DownTown"
theme of the weekend was
chosen to represent the small-
town atmosphere of the
neighborhood only two miles
from the center of Atlanta. The

neighborhood was developed in
the 1880's by Joel Hurt, a
builder who believed that people
should live in country surroun-
dings convenient to the central
business district.

Other festival events include a
parade led by Bill Tush of
Channel 13-WTCG, live music,
clowns, jugglers, and gymnasts.

MARTA will help the
neighborhood celebrate its
awakening by offering a preview
of its Inman Park-Reynoldstown
station and new trains. Parking
is available at no charge at the
new station, which adjoins Hurt
St.

Election Results

v.v.:.v.v.v.:.v. v-v^:

Thetennisteam has competed
in many matches with a progres-
sive record. A three-way match
was held at Emory University
with Brenau College, Columbus
College, and West Georgia
College on April 6, 7. Team
members won several individual
matches, but Agnes Scott did not
claim victories as a team against
any schools. Also on April 6 a
match played with Wesleyan
College almost brought a victory
to Scott. The final score of 4-5
marked a definite improvement
in the team's ability to win. The
following Wednesday, April 11,
the team traveled to Dahlonega,
Georgia to meet North Georgia
College. Agnes Scott returned
with an impressive win of 9-0.

The Dolphin Club is making
big plans for next year. The
members are now in the process
of choosing a theme for next
year's show. The club intends to
increase their aquatic skills and
to use many new stunts in their
performance.

Dolphin Club will hold spring
try-outs on May 2. During the
week of April 26- May 1 , Dolphin
Club members will hold practice
sessions for interested persons.
Check the front door of the gym
for the schedule of sessions.

The final swim meet of this
year is on May 8. These meets

include three relays and five in-
dividual events with represen-
tatives from every class in each.
The individual events are 40-yd.
races in backstroke, breastroke,
butterfly, and freestyle. The fifth
is the 80-yd. individual medley.
Each class also competes in a
freestyle relay, medley relay,
and comic relay, for the past
three years the Class of 1980
has won the meets. This year the
Class of 1982 has proved a
threat to the juniors. The
freshmen defeated the juniors
winter quarter. The attendance
of all classes is mandatory to the
competition.

Each afternoon from 4-6:00
students scream on the hockey
field. They are intensely involved

in the game of Softball. Each
dorm competes on a particular
team for the dorm cham-
pionsh ip. At the end of the dorm
competition, all-stars challenge
the faculty in a game at the
Athletic Association Picnic.

In the first game Walters
defeated the team composed of
Inman, Hopkins, and the Day
Students by a narrow margin of
1 3-12. Beth Maisano, captain of
the Walters Weirdos has
inspired her team to win the
dorm competition. Some dorms
have not been so active. Winship
took a victory from the Rebekah
Rabbits by forfeit. Dorms con-
tinue to compete for the cham-
pionship. Support as a team
member or spectator is needed.

Cochran Plans Boston Sabbatical

Dr. Augustus B. Cochran, III,
Assistant Professor of Political
Science here at Agnes Scott, will
be on sabbatical next year at
Boston College in Boston, Mas-
sachusetts. His title there will be
"visiting fellow," which means
that he will not be a degree can-
didate but will be concentrating
on certain topics.

Mr. Cochran's studies will be a
"program in social economy and

social policy." He is especially
interested in decentralization
and participatory democracies.
This includes new and in-
novative forms of organizations
of democracy. Small scale
institutions, such' as worker-
owned / worker managed firms
as opposed to corporations, hold
a special interest for Mr.
Cochran.

Mr. Cochran's main purpose
for this study is "to do more
research and writing." He will
also audit courses, read, and do
field work. The field work will be
consulting workers with worker-
owned / worker-managedfirms.
One of his reasons for choosing
Boston is the presence of several
of these new management set-
ups in the area.

New topics in existing courses
in Mr. Cochran's political
science classes should evolve
out of h is study and he wants "to
be able to pursue these topics in
depth and not piecemeal."

Dr. Cochran, accompanied by
his wife, Martha, baby and dog,
will spend September through
June and possibly until August
at Boshon College. He will return
in the fall of 1980.

Cindy Hampton, '80, won the
first place prize in the formal es-
says in this year's Southern
Literary Festival. Many
Southern schools participated in
the Festival in several different
categories, including short
stories, formal essays, poetry,
informal essays, and one act
plays. The judges are from
schools not represented in the
competition. Mr. Bo Ball, Profes-
sor of English, is the sponsor at
Agnes Scott.

Agnes Scott usually places in
the formal essay competition
and this fact wasd alluded to
when Cindy was presented the
award. The essay, entitled A

Dutchess On The Wall, A
Menacing Monk and Love
Among the Ruins: Mechanism
Versus Organicism in Three
Poems By Robert Browning,
was written last Spring for
Professor Jack Nelson's Vic-
torian Poetry Class. Mr. Nelson
helped Cindy smooth out the
final draft of the essay.

The essay will be published in
The Southern Literary
Magazine. Another piece of Cin-
dy's work, -Fever, a short story,
was printed in the Agnes Scott
Writers' Festival Magazine.
Cindy is a Philos6phy Major from
Louisville, Kentucky.

Dr. Gus Cochran prepares for his year of study at Boston College.
He will be on sabbatical for the 1979-80 school year.

Dear Editor,

It has come to my attention
that the procedures for Capping
have been changed. This is
upsetting to me and I have heard
the same comments from
seniors.

First of all, Capping will not be
a secret this year. I think this
detracts a great deal from the
anticipation and excitement of
the event. I've been told that it
was too difficult to keep the date
a secret and equally as difficult
to make sure everyone would be
present. I think the extra effort
however, adds to the special oc-
casion. Somehow it seems we
are trading expediency for
tradition.

Secondly, the seniors drew
numbers this year, as if they
were drawing for rooms. If a con-
flict arises between the seniors
over a certain junior, the senior
with the highest number will be
consulted and a solution worked
out. From a junior's perspective,
I find drawing numbers someth-
ing close to leaving one of the
most important and special oc-
casions lying in the hands of
fate. There are several girls in
the Senior Class by whom I
would be honored to be capped.
However, without doing a lot of
hard work to match juniors and
seniors, again the delight in the
event is ruined for both parties.
Members of the Junior Class, I
believe, would like to be capped
by someone who has meant
something to them, has inspired
them and helped them during
their years at Agnes Scott. It is

just too special to leave to a hat
full of numbers - for expediency.
Sincerely,
A Junior

Lawyer Leads Seminar On Legal System

By Lisa DeGrandi

This spring quarter, the
Department of History and
Political Science is offering a
one hour seminar on the legal
system. It is open to freshmen
and sophomores. Mr. Sam F.
Hatcher, a graduate of Davidson
College, teaches the course on
Wednesday nights at 6:30. The
purpose of the course is to give
students a basic awareness of
the practice of law.

Mr. Hatcher is from Columbus,
Ga. He graduated from Davidson
with a major in the Social
Sciences involving political
science and economics. He
received his Juris Doctorate
from Yale University and is
presently in the firm of Alston,
Miller and Gaines. He is married
and has three young daughters.

He has planned three field
trips for the class. One is to visit
the Alston, Miller and Gaines

Graduation Approaches;
Seniors Reveal Plans

Editor's Note: How true is the
following? I don't really know
but these are the answers to
the questions, "What do you
plan to do upon graduation,"
and "How valuable has your
education at Agnes Scott been
to you?" This is the first in a
series on the future of our
seniors.

As graduation approaches,
the campus community focuses
its attention upon the seniors of
Agnes Scott and on both their
immediately and long-range
career plans. A few seniors dis-
cussed their career objectives,
travel plans and sentiments
about Agnes Scott with a Profile
reporter.

Anne Jones, a History and
Economics major, plans to enter
the management trainee
program of a consumer products
corporation in the sales/market-

ing area. Anne has interviewed
with several companies in-
cluding Southern Bell, I.B.M.,
Rich's and First National Bankof
Atlanta. When asked about her
interviews, Anne commented, "I
found out about the companies
through the interviews. It was a
learning experience." Anne
stated that during her four years
at Agnes Soctt, she has . . .
"gained self-confidence,
learned to assert myself, do the
things I want to do and become
involved."

Diane Beaudoin, a Biology
major, plans to attend graduate
school at Yale to obtain a Ph.D. in
evolutionary biology. Diane did
an independent study this past
year entitled "Geotaxis in
Drosophila" with the necessary
assistance from Dr. Harry Wis-
trand. The project involved run-
ning four speciest of Drosophila

Law Offices. The class is also
scheduled to visit the DeKalb
County Courthouse and another
small law firm in Decatur.

This course is only open to
freshmen and sophomores to
the disappointment of many
juniors and seniors. However,
Mr. Augustus B. Cochran,

Professor of Political Science,
wou Id I ike to see the department
offer legal courses. He feels
there is a need for a judicial
policy course or a constitutional
law course.

The general consensus of Mr.
Hatcher's students is that they

will benefit greatly from the
experiences in this course. The
seminar seems to be popular
and perhaps with this show of
interest, the Department of His-
tory and Political Science will
expand to meet the rising re-
quests for law related course r

Peter Marshall Flick Returns

"A Man Called Peter," the
1955 film based on Catherine
Marsha It's book of the same title
about her minister husband, will
be screened Tuesday, May 1 , at
Agnes Scott College. Showtime
is 7:30 p.m. in Presser Hall and
admission is $1 .00.

Richard Todd plays Peter
Marshall, the fiery Scot who
comes to America, serves as
minister to Presbyterian
churches in Atlanta and
Washington, D.C., and is named
chaplain of the U.S. Senate two
years before his death in 1949.

Jean Peters plays his wife,
Catherine Wood, who met him
while she was a student at
Agnes Scott College and he was
pastor of Atlanta's Westminster
Presbyterian Church.

Produced by 20th Century Fox
and directed by Henry Koster, "A
Man Called Peter" was filmed
in part on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus during the fall of 1954.
During the filming at Agnes

Scott, the student newspaper
reported that the students
were glad to discover that
movie stars, meaning Richard
Todd and Jean Peters, are
"decidedly human."
Apparently, Todd and Peters
wooed the 1954-55 student
body with their manners. As
written in the September 29,
1954 issue of the Agnes Scott
News, 'The patience and ability
of Miss Peters were wonderful.
She has the charming, quiet
manner of an artist on the job,
trying to do her job well,
definitely not for the purpose of
showing off.

"Mr. Todd . . . is also a
delightful and refreshing
personality. The students were
pleased with his most un-snob-
bish attitude about the whole
thing. Anyone observing him
chatting with a group of students
in Murphey Candler, quite
interesting and interested in all
about him, would never doubt
that the man is first and
foremost a human being,
second, a celebrity."

The attitude of the student
body was also highly commen-
dable. The students paid Miss
Peters and Mr. Todd a great com-
pliment by treating them as
ordinary folk, not freaks from
outer space, as it were, and this
attitude did much toward setting
the duo at east in this, an entirely
foreign situation."

The film was reviewed by the
New York Times and described
as "charged with strong
magnetic pull an
extraordinary film."

Peter Marshall earned his
bachelor of divinity degree at
Columbia Theological Seminary
in Decatur and later courted
Catherine on the nearby Agnes
Scott campus. They were
married in 1936, the year Mrs.

Marshall graduated from the
women's liberal arts college.
The following year Marshall was
called to the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church in
Washington, D.C., where he
served until his death.

Spring Brings Sunshine; Sunbathers

When the sun comes out
and the weather turns
warmer, Scotties grab their
'swimmers' and head for

their favorite sunning spots.

The top of the Hub still
seems to be a favorite while
the Amphitheatre and In-
man balcony are usually
crowded also. Winship
dwellers find the dell in front
of the Infirmary satis-
factory, while still others
stretch out in front of the
Rebekah collonade.

LEFT: The Walters gang heads
out the door for fresh air, a little
fun, and not much studying!

favorite Spring sunning place,
is usually body to body on a

Top 7. V. Producers Lead Workshop

Two of the most talked-about
documentary producers in
network television will be in
Atlanta for a Women in Film
workshop Saturday, May 5, at
the Alliance Theater and Hill
Auditorium, open to the public.

Pamela Hill, since January the
vice president and executive
producer for ABC News'
documentary unit, has been a
network producer for NBC and
ABC for more than 1 4 years. Her

documentaries have explored
the most controversial issues,
from Vietnam to youth crime,
from asbestos to the Pales-
tinians. They have won almost
every major broadcasting award,
including Emmys and Peabody
awa rds.

Suzanne St. Pierre, another
"name'' in television documen-
taries, produces segments for
CBS top-rated show, "6C
Minutes."

Women In Film

8:00-10:00 P-M.

at 37 South Prado

On Saturday, May 5, Women
in Film, is sponsoring an all-day
workshop, open to the public, in
cooperation with the High
Museum of Art and the City of
Atlanta's Bureau of Cultural Af-
fairs.

Registration will be at 9:30
a.m., followed by a panel dis-
cussion at 10 a.m. in the
Alliance Theater. Moderated by
members of Atlanta's Women in
Film, the discussion will
highlight what's happening in
the television documentary, how
to get into the field, how these
two women producers have
earned their way into powerful
network positions.

After a lunch break at 11:30
a.m., participants will be invited
to meet in small groups with the
guest producers to ask questions
and explore the morning's is-
sues. There will be three one-
hour sessions beginning at
12:30 with each producer.

Screenings of their work will
be held continuously in Hill
Auditorium of the High
Museum during the the lunch
break and throughout the
afternoon from 8:30 a.m. until
3:30 p.m.

Among the television
documentaries to be screened
are Pill's "Youth Terror: The
View From Behind the Gun," on
New York's youth street life in
the ghetto. Since its initial

broadcast several months ago, it
has stirred controversy and
strong comment, and added, ac-
cording to one critic, "new life"
to television documentaries.

Also to be screened are her
documentary on the Palestinian
issue, 'Terror in the Promised
Land," and segments from St.
Pierre's documentaries for "60
Minutes."

All sessions and screenings
are open to the public without
charge.

Funds for the workshop were
provided, in part, through a grant
from City of Atlanta's Bureau of
Cultural Affairs, Maynard
Jackson, Mayor.

raising the money to restore the
gold on the State Capitol dome

In 1 958 citizens of Dahlonega
and Lumpkin County
singlehandedly undertook the
project to gild the capitol dome.
They panned the gold, organized
a Wagon Train, came through
Auraria, a small community near
Dahlonega the site of the
nation 's first gold rush 1 50 years
ago to the steps of the Georgia
State Capitol and presented the
43 ounces of Dahlonega gold to
the people of Georgia.

Since the dome was gilded 20
years ago, it has become a
"shining example" of the
character of Georgia and her
people. The 43 ounces of gold
was melted and rolled into paper
thin gold leafing and applied to
the dome. Georgia's gold dome
is the largest in the United

States and some will tell you
(and there are no records to dis-
pute them) that the Georgia
Capitol dome is the largest dome
in the world.

Time and weather have
eroded the paper thin gold and it
has become, rather than a shin-
ing example, an eyesore, in bad
need of Georgia's attention.

The Dahlonega-Lumpkin
County Jaycee Chapter has
spearheaded an effort, with the
support of the Statewide
Jaycees, to raise the $250,000
necessary to regild the dome.

When questioned about her
educational experience at Agnes
'Scott, Diane expressed dis-
satisfaction and commented, "I
think Agnes Scott College
should drop its 'We are a
women's college, not a girl's
school' facade and start doing
something about it."

Deni Lamb, a History major,
plans to work as a waitress in
Yellowstone National Park this
summer and then as a maid of
waitress in a ski resort until
April. The following fall, she will
begin work on her masters
degree in History or Historic
Preservation. Deni became
interested in the field as a result
of an internship in the Historic
Preservation Section of the
Georgia Department of Natural
Resources last Spring Quarter.
When questioned about the im-
pact her education here has had
on her, Deni claimed she has
learned to "laugh, smile, sit on
the front row seat and bring an
apple for the teacher."

Nancy Perry, an English ma-
jor, anticipates spending next
year traveling in Europe. Tm
support herself, she plans to
work at such small jobs as pic-

king grapes in France, shepherd-
ing in Ireland, and lighthouse
keeping in Scotland.

Eleanor Graham, an Art His-
tory and Political Science major,
plans to attend graduate school
at George Washington
University in Washington, D.C.
She plans to get her masters
degree in International Affairs.
She is getting married in the fall
and her future husband will be a
second year law student at the
same university. Eleanor is do-
ing an internship this quarter
with the Regional Headquarters
of the Democratic National Com-
mittee one day a week. Eleanor
commented on the education
she has received at Agnes Scott
by saying, "The liberal arts
program has enabled me to
direct myself without over-
specializing. I want to continue
this program in my further
education. The degree I intend to
get is an extension of the
education I have received here."
She also commented on the fact
that " . . Agnes Scott, as a
women's college, has enabled
me to remain an idealistic
person. Rather than being
disillusioned with the world at
this time in my like, I can enter it
with a positive approach."

that they are willing to support
the development of new works.
This season was so well
received that we will try to offer
an even higher quality season
next year with similar categories
of plays: a classic comedy, a
classic tragedy, a contemporary
American play and a new work. I
am most enthusiastic as a direc-
tor, about Atlanta's demand for
this kind of work in theatre. Ih in-
dicates a healthy state of the art
in our community."

According to Nancy Hager,
general manager, "We have
already received gver a
thousand subscriptions for next
season before we ever an-
nounced the plays we were con-

sidering."

Hager continued that the
following plays are under con-
sideration for production at the
Academy next year: THE COUN-
TRY WIFE -by William Wycherly,

Working For Awareness
Sponsors Questionnaires

The first of four surveys spon-
sored by Working for Awareness
was sent out last week to Agnes
Scott students. The survey, part
of a project to lessen student
apathy to questionnaires and
raise awareness, consisted of
three questions. The questions
and results are as follows:

1 ) Do you use the elevator or
take the stairs? 12.1% elevator;
71 .8% stairs; 15.3% both.

2) If food service was op-
tional in room and board coast,
would you eat in the dining
hall? 49.2% Yes; 33.9% No;
16.9% Sometimes.

3) Do you leave the lights.

radio, etc. . . on in your room
when you are not there? 1 2.1 %

Yes; 73.3% No; 13.6%
Sometimes

The question about the op-
tional food service received a
variety of responses. Some
suggested meal tickets. Others
suggested optional meal plans
with one or two meals included

in the* price of room and board
and either a third meal or
weekend meals optional.

Working for Awareness is a
student group on campus,
dedicated to undertaking the
identification and evaluation of
issues involving the campus and
to provide an outlet to and input
from the campus community.

Leslie Supports Joggers

By Gina Philips

'Daytona, Here We Come' was
the title heading the jogging
mileage chart hanging in the
gym during Winter Quarter. The
chart was set up as an incentive
for the desired 'Spring Break
Bikini Body.' Diet and exercise
became the leading topic of
conversation at every meal.
Jogging seemed to be the
number one exercise, and the
'Jogging Syndrome' became a
reality. As pounds were lost,
joggers began to drop off, but
many remained for the health
aspect. Those remaining pound
the sidewalks in the immediate
area almost every hour of the
day.

To some, jogging is a way of
relaxation, and to others each
step is more misereable than the
one before. Perhaps on a run-
ning escapade one has passed,
or more likely been passed, by
Mr Bob Leslie of the
Department of Mathematics.

If there are any questions
about running, or just health in
general, Mr. Leslie can probably
give a correct answer. Sup-
porting his knowledge of the
subject is a background of

runner experience.

Mr. Leslie has run both track
and cross country "for fun" in
high school. He then continued
his running career at Davidson
College lettering in cross coun-
try. But he did not stop there.
Mr. Leslie now competes in
various road races around the
city sponsored by the Atlanta
Track Club and the Atlanta Run-
ning Center.

By far his most impressive and
largest feat is competing in the
26 mile Savannah Marathon
this past January. Even now Mr.
Leslie continues by averaging
thirty miles a week. Although no
Agnes Scott student can begin to
compare with his statistics, he is
willing to answer questions.

Mr Leslie has supplied jogg-
ing routes of different mileage
that are posted in the gym for
reference. He is also meeting al
who want to run on Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 1 1 :30 on the
hockey field. Do not worry you
set the mileage and the pace,
and he will fill your ear with
knowledge as you run. Who will
be the next Agnes Scott
representative in the Boston
Marathon?

Mr. Leslie discusses the art of jogging.

Tennis Season Ends

The Tennis Team completed
their season on April 21 at
Columbus College where a
three-way match was held with
Columbus College, Georgia
Tech, and Valdosta State
College. Agnes Scott lost all
three matches with scores of 1 -
8, 3-6, and 1-8. The team also
lost to Armstrong College and
Berry College before traveling to
Columbus.

Next year the Georgia As-
sociation of Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women plans to
form a division for schools that
do not award ath letic
scholarships. Agnes Scott will
be in this division along with
other colleges that encourage
academics before athletics.

Chiefs Seek
Participation

ATTENTION SOCCER FANS:
The Atlanta Chiefs are having a
College Night on Saturday, May
5, when they take on the Tampa
Bay Rowdies. General Ad-
mission tickets are on sale in the
Dining Hall at lunch and dinner

your ticket and Agnes Scott I D.
you are entitled to all the beer
you can drink and, admission to
the game. The Chiefs are
anxious to see soccer become a
popular professional sport in
Atlanta and have given all of the
colleges in the area these
special rates for what will be an
exciting game. The Rowdies are
undefeated, so they will provide
tough comletition for the Chiefs.

An added attraction will be a
relay before the game between
area colleges. See the signs
around campus if you are
interested in participating in the
relay.

Dr. William Weber Quoted
In Regional Spotlight Quarterly |

The Southern Regional Education Board Regional Spotlight

featured an article on business enrollment in colleges in its Winter,
1 979 issue. Mentioned in the article were Agnes Scott College and
the new business preparatory program.

The article mentioned Dr. William H. Weber, chairman of the
economics department. He was quoted as saying that cooperative
education programs in business are aimed toward "leading the
student into being more independent and capable of interacting in
the management community." Such experience, Dr. Weber wenton,
may benefitthe students immeasurably when they land their first job
in the corporate world.

The new business program, which supplements the traditional
Agnes Scott liberal arts curriculum, was outlined and the
Washington Semester program on economic policy was mentioned.
'The mission of the economics department," says Dr. Weber, "is to
prepa re students to go to the business world as executive tra inees. "

Southern Regional Education Board and is read throughout the

Committee Needs
Input; Members

How many editorials have
been written on the subject of
food service? There are too many
to be counted! However,
editorials don't really get the job
done if there is a problem. Only
direct action will let the food
service know what you are thin-
king.

Now there is an opportunity
for students to organize a Food
Service Committee. Petitions
have been open since April 23.
However in talking to Dean
Martha Kirkland, very few
petitions have been submitted
since that date.

Maybe students fail to see the
potential for this Committee. For
instance, they can discuss
something like the budget with
Mr. Lee A. Barclay and Mrs.
Barbara Saunders, and get some
solid facts on how our money is
spent. Or maybe the student
body feels that lunches are too
heavy and dinners too light or
visa-versa. The committee will
have the power to discuss this
with Mr. Barclay and Mrs.
Saunders to find out why things

are the way they are, and to
propose variations.

Students are constantly mak-
ing reasonable suggestions
around the table, morning, noon
and night. Based on the number
of petitions submitted so far, ap-
parently things are not as bad as
they sound. The S.G.A. Rep
Council saw a great need for this
committee and worked hard to
get it together. Their efforts
should be commended as there
is a definite need for such a com-
mittee, but it can only work if it
has members.

As a last effort, here is a
reminder as to how you can
become a member of this com-
mittee. Dean Kirkland is curren-
tly taking petitions from any
student who is interested. From
the petitions, one student from
each dormitory will be chosen.
Those who wish to petition
should do so on the basis of the
dormitory they plan to live in for
the 1979-80 school year. Let's
get this committee rolling and
get some student input into the
food service

Dear Editor,

Saturday, April 28th, the Arts
Festival was held from 9:30-
1 2:30. A great time was had for
all who attended. Un-

fortunately, the student res-
ponse was not really as en-
thusiastic as we would hope. I
feel that if the Festival had been
planned a little differently, that
many more people could have
been involved.

Alumnae Weekend, as you
know, was the same weekend.
However, the alums were tied up
in meetings all morning. If the
festival had been from 12-4,
then the students would have
had a wonderful opportunity to
share with the alumnae what is
happening in the arts. Having
the Festival at this time would
have also provided an excellent
way to involve students. Since
they were picnicking anyway,
perhaps the food could have
been served a bit closer to the
Ampitheatre, thereby drawing
students out there.

The artists' involvement in the
Festival was an Art Club sale.
The Art Club asked to be allowed
to set up tables at the rim of the
Ampitheatre instead of within
the theatre. The request was
turned down on the grounds that
the field should remain clear for
student usage. As a result it was
impossible for anyone to be
drawn closer to the Festival,
because no one could see us.

My anger arises from the fact
that had the Art Club sale been
where we had asked for it to be,
we would have still been a good
1 0 yards away from the field, not
even hindering joggers. Also,
the alumnae husbands had a
large tent on the other end of the
field, therefore making the ob-
jection to our being there in-
consistent.

Finally, aside from the fact
that the field is rarely used on
weekends, the Arts Festival was

a student function, created to in-
volve students. I very much
resented the feeling that we
were being pushed out of the
way. I think that if a more
cooperative spirit had prevailed,
that many more could have been
involved, and many more could
have enjoyed a potentially
delightful day.

Thank you,
Lisa Lee

Dear "A Junior":

This letter is in response to
your letter concerning capping
that appeared in the April 30th
Profile. We hope that it will
answer any questions you may
still have and clear up any mis-
conceptions.

First of all, the procedures for
capping have not been radically
changed. The minor changes
that we have made have been in
response to problems exhibited
in past years.

The secrecy of the capping
date has been one source of con-
flict in the past. Responding to
complaints from last year, we
decided to reveal the date to
everyone. In the past juniors
sometimes had tests or papers
due on the day after capping,
thus limiting the time they could
spend celebrating. Other juniors
had campus jobs which required
them to work at night. By an-
nouncing the date, every junior
has a chance to re-arrange her
work and study schedule so that
she can participate fully in the
evening's activities. The
specialness that comes with the
anticipation and excitement of
this occasion can be preserved
through the events of the night
itself from the junior-senior
banquet and the secret
ceremony in the quad to ad-
ditional celebrations and fun.

The number drawing process
that we are using this year was
introduced to replace the "kirst-
come, first-serve" process
which in past years has resulted
not only in disagreements, but
fights and bad feelings on all
sides. After much discussion,
the number drawing procedure
was chosen as the one which
would be fairest to all seniors
not just those who happened to
live near the "junior list."
However, with either the old or
the new system conflicts are
bound to appear. Obviously,
everyone cannot get her first
choice if more than one senior
puts the same junior as the
person she wishes to cap! The
drawing of numbers may be a
partial answer to these conflicts.
In matching seniors with
juniors, we are making every ef-
fort to be fair and any problems
that arise are discussed with the
senior involved. The process by
which seniors choose their
cappees is important only in so
far as it assures that each senior
will be satisfied with the results.
In honoring the juniors with this
ceremony, we wish to do our
best to make sure that everyone
has an enjoyable time.

Capping should be a fun oc-
casion for all as the seniors
celebrate the end of their college
years and honor the attainment
of seniority by the members of
the Class of 1980. The junior
that every senior caps will be
special to her whether best
friends or only casual acquain-
tances. No system is perfect, but
we hope that the work we have
put into this process will help to
make this a special occasion for
the junior class.

Thanks,

Elizabeth Wells, Diane Banyar,

However, the miserly and tyran-
nical producer of the summer
theatre, an egocentric
playwright of little talent, a
former child movie star and her
pushy stage mother have other
ideas.

The Blackfriars' production is
based on the book and score
used in the 1959 Broadway
revival. The energetic and en-
thusiastic "Babes in Arms"
company is being directed by
Prof. John W. Toth of the
Department of Theatre. The
Department of Music's Prof.
Theodore K Mathews is direc-
ting the chorus and conducting,
and Jean Lemonds is coaching
the principal singers. Senior Rita
Kitts is choreographing the
dances.

Appearing in the company of
"Babes in Arms" are the follow-
ing students. Melanie Best, Sara
Burleigh, Debby Daniel, Sandra
Eichelberger, Carol Gorgus, Rita
Kitts, Linda Mclnnis, Liz Steele,
Marietta Townsend, and Karen
Whipple. Accompanists are
Karen Cotton and Becky Lowrey.

Currently, "Babes in Arms" is
also being presented by the
Goodspeed Opera House in East
Haddam, Connecticut, as it was
first produced in 1937. Ac-
cording to Dr. Toth, the
Goodspeed specializes in
revivals and pre-Broadway try-
outs. Speculation- is that the
Goodspeed's production of
"Babes in Arms," which stars
Andrea McArdle of "Annie"
fame, will be seen in New York
next fall.

After a long, rainy Thursday,
April 26, Sandra (Sam) Barnhill
and I trudged over to the Atlanta
Hyatt- Regency Hotel to the an-
nual membership meeting of the
YWCA of Greater Atlanta. The
meeting was BOR-ING. I thought
they would never adjourn the
thing! After all, everybody was
there to see and hear the guest
speaker, were they not? Well I
was. And WHAT a guest
speaker: Ms. Cicely Tyson.

Cicely, I'm sure she wouldn't
object to my using her first
name, began by telling us about
her uneasiness with having to
deliver a speech. She said that
she is not a speechmaker, but
believes that she has a God-
given talent to act. "I have," she
said, "a need to exchange with
others, to talk with, and not so
much to speak to." She decided,
rather than delivering a speech,
to share herself with us, to have
a question-answer session and
to read some of her favorite
poems.

Before Cicely got into the
questions and poems, she told
us how distracting it was to have
cameras flashing in her eyes
while she talked. So she took
various poses as she counted to

five(1 ....4 1 /2,4V4 5) in order

to give everyone the opportunity
to take pictures. The scene was
not as chaotic as one would
expect, yet it was hilariously fun-
ny.

After the picture taking ses-
sion, Cicely began responding to
questions. In response to the
question of why she chose the
roles for which she is so duly
celebrated, she replied that she
found the traditional roles for
Black women to be demeaning.
She refuses to portray maids and
prostitutes because that would

nourish the misconceptions
about Black women and would
feed the Blacks exploitative film
market which she found so
detestable.

When asked what she tells
women who are interested in ac-
ting, Cicely said: "I don't en-
courage, but then ... I don't dis-
courage either." Her advice, she
said, is the same for men and
women, particularly Blacks. She
went on to say that interest is not
enough. One must be dedicated,
self-sacrificing, and well
trained. It is not enough, said
Cicely, to be talented; "Talent is
like a rough diamond: to be fully
beautiful, it must be cut and
polished." She also responded
that one must: be prepared for
rejection upon rejection, have
tremendous self-confidence,
and have someone, other than
oneself, who believes in you.
She concludes by saying: "If you
can be Black and live in this
world, you can do anything."

Cicely was reluctant to reveal
her favorite character, for she
maintains that she enjoyed them
all equally well and she ap-
preciates them all for the
different challenges they
presented. Upon being pressed,
a little, she finally replied that
she has a special affinity for
Miss Jane Pittman, because she
was like "the grandmother I
never knew." She saysthat Miss
Jane offered her more in the
range of a lifetime for few ac-
tresses have the opportunity to
portray someone from ages
nineteen up to age 110. "Miss
Jane", said Cicely," gave me the
chance to meet Black women up
to age 1 05, and that, I tell you, is
an experience for which I am
deeply grateful to her." Her
favorite scene from The
Autobiography of Miss Jane
Pittman Cicely revealed, is not
the fountain scene, but "Old*
Sister Oak," where Miss Jane
talks to that old oak tree about
what it/she has seen
throughout the years.

Cicely stated that she enjoyed
all of the parts, from Rebecca in
Sounder to Miss Jane, to
Harriet Tubman: A Woman
Called Moses, to working with
George C. Scott and Paul Win-
field. However, she said that
there was a tension for her with
the film Roots. In response to
questions raised by Sam, she
unwillingly but honestly
remarked that she did not want
to be in the film. Because her
agent had already committed
her, she chose the part of Kunta
Kinte's mother, and was grateful
that she could chose her role.
She concluded that she was
certain we all know how she felt
about being in the cast of Roots,

After spending more than an
hour in conversation with the
audience, Cicely read, as only
she could, some of her favorite
poems. As it happened, they
were all written by Blacks. She
commented that is not sensitive
about the fact that she is Black,

Editor's Note: The following is
the second of many interviews
to be printed on members of
the senior class and their future
plans. (In last week's article,
Eleanor Graham's major was
misprinted. She is a his-
tory/political science major.)

Diane Peterson, a biology ma-
jor, plans to attend dental school
at the Medical College of
Georgia in Augusta, Georgia.
After 4 years of general dental
school, Diane plans to specialize
in pedodontics orthodontics,
children's dentistry involving
braces. Diane did an
independent study this past year
entitled "The Frequency and
Inheritance of a Race-Limited
Salivary Protein." The study in-
volved the testing of a sample
Black population in the Atlanta
area to determine the frequency
of the protein in the population
and the mode of inheritance.

Diane became interested in
this research project through the
"Summer Health Career
Program" sponsored by Medical
University of South Carolina in
Charleston. The eight-week
program is designed to expose
minority students to the rigorous
studies of the medical and dental
professions Diane attended the
program after her Sophomore
year and commented, "Getting

Nancy P. Groseclose, Dana
Professor of Biology, and
chairman of the biology
department is, according to her
long time associate, ad-
ministrative assistant to
President Marvin Perry, Ms.
Bertie Bond, perhaps best
categorized as "a rare species."
For the past 32 years, she has
provided Agnes Scott with
exceptional dedication to both
her subject and her students.

Ms. Groseclose, who will
retire at the end of this year,
commented recently that she is
grateful to Agnes Scott since it
offered her the opportunity to
fulfill one of her earlier as-
pirations which wasto teach at a
women's college. She also
recollected many changes that
have occurred during her
presence here. Agnes Scott was,
she feels, in the past more of a
community.

Ms. Groseclose says that she
misses some of the practices of
those days. There were: nightly

the office hours of a dentist
would give me more time with
my family and allow me to
become involved in church and
community activities." When
questioned about her
educational experiences, Diane
commented, "Two of the most
important benefits I have
received from Agnes Scott have
been the freedoms allowed by
the atmosphere of trust at the

formal student-faculty dinners
which featured a faculty host at
each faculty table, and a student
lost at each student table;
oarties in the cottages; student
retreats at camps located in the
north Georgia area.

Ms. Groseclose feels that
students now are less involved
with Agnes Scott in and of itself.
'They tend to be more particular
in what they chose to study and
not as interested in learning for
its own sake." She attributes
this attitude to distractions
which were not so readily
available before. Now she says,
"more students own cars" and
"soap operas seem to intrude
often into conversations." But
even though students seem less
interested in sutdy, Ms.
Groseclose admits that, "I enjoy
students just as much as I ever
did."

Ms. Groseclose is herself an
accomplished student. She ac-
quired her B.S. and M.S. from
the Virginia Polytechnical
Institute and holds a Ph.D. from
the University of Virginia. She
has done research, most

jollege and the willingness to
help on the part of the faculty.

Margie Pirkle, a math and
philosophy major, plans to work
for Southern Bell as a field
engineer. As a field engineer,
Margie will be responsible for a

developmental morphology. She
lists as teaching areas of
particular interest: concepts in

embryology, comparative
anatomy, histology, and zoology.
Ms. Groseclose also belongs to
several professional
organizations and is listed in
American Men of Science and
World's Who's Who of Women
in Education.

As a teacher, Ms. Groseclose
is most appreciated for her
concern and patience. One
alumna noted that Ms.
Groseclose not only provided her
the necessary information but
taught her howto use it. She has
a way of encouraging student to
think constructively and
creatively.

After retiring in June, Ms.
Groseclose plans to do some
traveling, some visiting with
family and friends, and some
teaching. She says that she has
been too busy and involved with
teaching and finding a
replacement for herself to make
any definite plans for the future.

another engineer. When ques-
tioned about her education at
Agnes Scott, Margie
commented, "Agnes Scott has
taught me how to think clearly
and has helped my self-con-
fidence. One of the school's best
assets is its small size and
student-teacher ratio which
allows for more in-depth
learning."

Working For Awareness
Questions Parking Problem

By Sheila Rogers

Last week, Working for
Awareness sponsored another
questionnaire. The subject was
campus parking. In answer to
the first question, "Do you have
a car on campus?" 20
students answered NO, and 30
answered YES. In answer to the
second question, "Would you
favor restricted freshman
parking?" 22 said YES of which
12 owned cars. Some 34
students answered NO, with 18
of them owning cars. It was
suggested that the college either
purchase more parking space or
assign parking. Only 57 students
out of 200 participted in this
survey.

Bookstore Manager Verita Barnett Retires

Ms. Verita Barnett works busily at her desk. She has worked eight
years keeping the Book Store in top shape.

Frosh Weekend
Curfews Ended

Next year's incoming
freshman class will have more
freedom than any other Agnes
Scott freshmen have ever had.
After much thought and exten-
sive questioning and polling,
Interdorm decided to change the
freshman key policy. Fall quarter
they will have a 1 2:00curfewon
Sunday through Thursday
nights. They must sign out and

leave their keys at the hostess
desk on these nights. On Friday
and Saturday nights they must
sign out but may keep their keys
as there will be no curfew on
those two nights. The night of
the Black Cat bonfire there will
be no cu rfew either. The need for
these new changes came about
because Interdorm felt that
hours should be imposed so that
freshmen would learn study dis-
cipline rather than that their
social lives should be restricted.

Interdorm realizes there will
be problems with this system.
Interdorm will keep adjusting
the system until they find one
that perfectly meets the policy
objectives. Those objectives are
to aid freshmen in their study
habits without interfering with
their social lives, and, says one
Interdorm member, "to give
them an excuse to get away from
that gross blind date as early as
possible!"

By Wendy Merkert

What does retirement mean to
Ms. Verita Barnett, manager of
the Agnes Scott bookstore? It
means "fishing, carpentry pro-
jects, such as a greenhouse for
my gardening, and traveling to
Los Angeles, Seattle or
wherever strikes my fancy," she
answered.

Also in the works is a college
bookstore consultant position
with a firm in New York. "This
job would entail traveling
around the United States to
colleges of varying sizes and
observing them for needed im-
provements," she explained.

After eight years of service,
Ms. Barnett is retiring in June.
Looking back on her years as
bookstore manager, Ms. Barnett
stated, 'The bookstore exists for
the students."

She has seen the bookstore
grow from a small text-related
outlet to a store with many
varied ; tems and an increase in
gross sales. Sales have in-
creased 5 to 10 percent annually
with a total increase of $35,000.
The increased sales have been
accomplished by putting retail
store concepts to work in a
college bookstore.

During her first year at Agnes
Scott, Ms. Barnett planned,
among other things, a change in
color and displays. She tried to
make the bookstore a pleasant

place in which students would
want to shop.

Apparently she has
succeeded, for now the
bookstore makes enough in
sales to pay the staff and still
make a minimal profit. Ms.
Barnett would like to see the
bookstore attract more of the off-
campus community, eventually
becoming a place where the
general public could find quality
leisure reading.

Ms. Barnett's proficiency as a
bookstore manager was
honored recently by the Georgia
Bookstore Managers As-
sociation. The association
awarded her a plaque in
recognition of her contributions
and accomplishments in
bookstore management. She
has held various offices in the
association, among them vice
president for two years.

Mr. Barclay, Agnes Scott's
vice president for business af-
fairs, praised Ms. Barnett
saying, "She makes every effort
to have books and supplies on
hand at the time they are
needed. In addition to that she
makes the bookstore an efficient
operating business. She
manages the bookstore with a
cheerfulness and courtesy that
will be missed by all."

Before coming to Agnes Scott,
Ms. Barnett worked for the

Board of Christian Education of
Presbyterian Churches, an as-
sociation as a buyer for their
stores. In 1954 she moved to
Atlanta and managed the as-
sociation's store. She came to
Agnes Scott in 1 971 as manager
of the bookstore and in 1977
took on the additional res-
ponsibility of managing the post
office.

As bookstore manager, Ms.
Barnett orders textbooks, selects
items, controls inventory to pay
expenses and special orders
items on request. She said she
selects items by reading
magazines,, observing other
stores and "by intuition."

Among the headaches she
has faced as a college bookstore
manager include discovering
that books on order are out of
print or not in stock and the
problem of knowing how many
books to have available after
drop/add without overbuying.

Taking on these problems and
responsibilities after Ms.
Barnett retires is Mrs. Dee
Chubb. She comes from the
Georgia State University
bookstore where she was as-
sistant manager of the textbook
division. She has already started
training with Ms. Barnett and
will assume her duties as
manager of the bookstore on
July 1 .

Kemper's Korner

I would like to thank the
students who attended the
student body meeting on May
3 Every year it is necessary to
revise the constitutions of
student organizations, and
the revisions must be ratified
by a quorum of the student
body. For constitutional
revisions, a quorum consists
of one fourth of the student
body, which was 139
students this year. We barely
met the quorum at the May
3rd meeting. It concerns me
that it was difficult to get
merely 139 students on this
campus to come to a meeting
that all students should
attend, a meeting in which all
student should be interested.
I realize that spring quarter is
hectic, but it is equally hectic
for every student on campus.
The meeting lasted less than
thirty minutes, and if
everyone had been on time
we would have been through
before 7:00.

I do not think that lack of
participation was due to
students not knowing about
the meeting. There were
signs in every dorm an-
nouncing it, and we even
made an announcement in
the dining hall Thursday night
before the meeting. I would
really like to know why
student attendance was so
low. If you didn't come or you
know why some people didn't
come, please drop a note (it
can be anonymous) in my
mailbox (#229) telling me

why. Your response will help
Rep Council know if there is
something we're not doing. I
sincerely hope that lack of
attendance was not due to
student apathy.

Rep Council discussed a
motion proposing that we
have a required convocation
for the purpose of ratifying
constitutional revisions. This
motion was tabled under the
stipulation that Rep would
vote on it after evaluating
student attendance at the
May 3rd meeting. Rep Coun-
cil will discuss and vote on
the motion at the Rep meet-
ing on Tuesday, May 22, at
6:30 in the Rep Council room
off Rebekah lobby. I strongly
urge students to come to this
meeting and express their
views. Perhaps a required
convocation would be more
convenient than a called
meeting.

Lots of luck to the
Blackfriars with their produc-
tion of Babes in Arms. (I'd say
"break a leg," but with my
luck somebody really would,
and I'd feel awful.) I hope
everyone on campus will try
to go see Babes in Arms
because it really should be
great!!!

I've received very many
petitions from students wan-
ting to serve on Catalyst.
Next week Rep will announce
the new members. Thanks to
everyone who petitioned; it's
great to see students wanting
to get involved!

Dear Editor,

Agnes Scott College takes
pride in its liberal arts education.
One part of that education
should include student
participation into the academic
development of the school.
Student evaluation of courses is
a direct way in which all
students can participate in the
improvement of the curriculum.

These evaluations must not be
looked on as attacks on the
instructors, no more than
student grades are to be taken as
personal insults by the students.
Instead, both students and
faculty should regard student
evaluations as a useful tool in
course development. Students
deserve the opportunity to
provide input to both the instruc-
tors and departmental heads
about courses. We should be
asked to eva luate courses before
the end of a quarter and turn
them in to instructors before or
after final examinations.

Several professors on campus
already are using student
evaluations in their courses;
students appreciate the fact that
their opinions are valued. The
students at Scott owe it to
themselves to request
evaluation forms from the
faculty without fear of
retribution. The faculty should
neither fear nor "ignore" such a
request.

We urge a cooperative effort
by students and faculty to es-
tablish such an evaluation for
this quarter.

A Concerned Student

Dear Editor,

The Students for Black
Awareness (SBA) were severely
disappointed on Thursday, may

4, when they presented
"Creations in Ebony," II to an
audience of fifty people, forty of
whom were not members of the
Agnes Scott community. The
program, intended for our little
community, was a very good
one, as Mrs. Perry, Miss
Groseclose, Beth Gerhardt,
Julie Johnson, and a few other
non-SBA members will tell you.
However, the attendance made
the apathy here at Agnes Scott
painfully clear to many of us for
the first time.

What does one do when her
friends are not even interested
in what she is doing? What do
you do when nobody, virtually
nobody, gives a good darn
about something you have spent
weeks, sacrificing your studies,
to do? It really makes your day to
know that of the thirteen SBA
members, they have ten friends
at Agnes Scott. Just brings in the
sunshine!

From the Inside
SBA

To the Editor:

I was deeply offended today
(May 1 ) at being accosted by
representatives of the Gideon
organization, who were handing
out copies of the New Testament
in the dining hall. When I did not
accept a copy, the man con-
fronting me muttered, "Well,
that's unusual," which I'm sure
was intended whether
consciously or not, to make me
feel abnormal and irreligious.
Aside from this man's uncalled-
for comment, however, I
strongly object to his presence
on campus at all. The ad-
ministration showed preferen-
tial treatment and a lack of
regard for the students' right to
privacy and protection from
solicitation by allowing the

Gideon representatives to come
to Agnes Scott.

I am quite certain that neither
Hare Krishna devotees,
Moonies, communists, nor even
insurance salesmen (to name
just a few groups) would ever
have been allowed to even con-
sider distributing literature at
Agnes Scott, much less set up
camp at the doors of the dining
hall in such a way that there is
no escape from them. If one
group is to be allowed to hand
out literature, it seems only fair
that all others be granted the
same privilege. On what basis
was it decided that the Gideon
group could be permitted to
come on campus thattheyare
Christians, and the students
need to be given christian
literature? This is the implication
for me, since as I have asserted,
we can be sure that no non-
christian group will ever show
up in the dining hall to distribute
books. Therefore, I highly resent
the preferential treatment that
was given to the Gideon
representatives.

I would much prefer, however,
that my right to privacy be
respected and that no group be
allowed to solicit and hand out
literature on campus. It is an im-
position not warranted or ap-
preciated by me in the least.

Thank you,
Linda Chupp

Editor's Note:

The Gideon Representatives
did receive permission from
Dean Martha Kirkland to dis-
tribute their materials. Any
group may visit the campus to
distribute materials IF THEY
FIRST OBTAIN PERMISSION
from the Dean of Students. I do
not think there was any inten-
tion of showing preference.

Howard is a double major in art

ported her throughout school.
"My husband went along. I
thought about taking courses at
Georgia State, but why notapplv

But then I wondered why can't I
do what is fulfilling toward my

quired degrees in art and

granddaughters.

Gloria Howard has attended
Scott the longest as a Return to
College student. "Nineteen
years ago, when I first moved to
the area, I called Scott to ask if
they had this type of program
and they said only full time
students could attend." Four
years ago, her son in graduate
school at Georgia State, men-

Mrs. Myrna Young Retires

by Wendy Brooks

One of the professors who will
be retiring at the end of the
1978-79 academic year is
Professor Myrna Young. She has
been a dedicated and inspiring
teacher of Latin and Greek
students for 25 years at Agnes
Scott.

Dr. Young received her B.A.
from Eureka College and her
MA. and PhD from the
University of Illinois in Urbana.
She taught Latin and Greek for
four years at Millikin University
in Decatur, Illinois before com-
ing to teach in Decatur, Ga. Her
husband is a teacher at Emory
University.

Mrs. Young has two sons; one
lives in Marietta and works with
the State Department of Natural
Resources and the other is
married to a Scott graduate.
They reside in Temple, Arizona
with Mrs. Young's only gran-
daughter, three year old
Heather. Heather is "the love of
my life," says Mrs. Young. She

has designed and made her
granddaughter a quilt and is also
making her a doll house.

When asked about her plans
after this spring, Mrs. Young
replied that she had no definite
plans. She intends to continue
square dancing and helping her
husband to research.

Mrs. Young is leaving us
because she has reached man-
datory retirement age. She has
continued to enjoy her teaching
here and has certainly not lost
her zest for her studies or her
students.

Next year someone new will
be helping Latin students with
the Aeneid, and Greek students
with Plato and Sophocles, but it
will be tough to replace Profes-
sor Myrna Young.

Professorem egregissimum
non reponere possumus. Sed
me mini see et semper
honorare.

"An inspiring teacher can not be
replaced. Only ever remembered
and ever honored."

Sophomore Scottie
Enjoys Volunteer Work

By Kim Clark

Becky Dune, '81 , a sophomore
here at Scott, has been
participating in a very exciting
program that the Profile thinks
you ought to know about. Have I
got your attention? Good? Who
knows, this could be just what
you've been looking for in a
volunteer job!

While at a quarterly meeting
of the Historic Columbus Foun-
dation this summer, Becky was
introduced to Minnette Bikel, the
guest speaker and a represen-
tative of the Georgia Trust in
Atlanta. Expressing an interest,
3ecky was invited to participate
n their volunteer program when

she returned in the fall.

What exactly is the Georgia
Trust? In Becky's own words, "It
is a non-profit, member
organization whose aim is to
preserve the built environment."
Their main function is that of an
advisory council. Where does
Becky fit into all of this? "Idoany
thing they tell me to do," (i.e.,
writing press releases, writing
thank you cards, etc.). She has
been working every Wednesday
from 2 till 6 for a year now. In late
April the Georgia Trust held the
"Edwardian Affair," a fun-
draising block party at which
Becky acted as a hostess. The

Hard Workers Make
Life Very Comfortable

The many workers at Agnes Scott help to make the campus beautiful and well-groomed,
keep the facilities in working order, make the dorms clean and comfortable, deliver all the mail,
and just generally create a cheerful atmosphere! On behalf of the students at A.S.C., The
Profile would like to say thanks to all of these men and women who work hard all year for us.
Thanks folks!

Lillian Kiel had been out of
school for twenty-eight years
before she decided to return. "I

felt concerned when I started. I
thought it wouldn't be easy. It
was just great to realize that I
have a brain. School has given
me a nice base." Mrs. Kiel, an art
major, would like to open her

own studio, among other plans.
"I would like to do social work

ing along side my studio, but not

school appealed to me. I
wouldn't be just a number. At
first, I didn't want to go full time,
just Tuesdays and Thursdays.
That was just the first year. Then
I went full time, and to summer
school."

Catherine Paul worked as a
secretary for three years, before
deciding to come to Scott. "I
realized I did not want to do that
for the rest of my life. I'd always
heard what a good school Scott
was. I liked the campus, and it
was close to home.''

"My son was surprised but
now he's pretty proud. I've had a
wonderful four years. School
has been very beneficial. I'm try-
ing to go to graduate school for
marriage and family counseling.
Scott was my first step."

And, have you ever wondered
what it would be like to take a full
course load at Agnes Scott
College and raise a family? In
talking with Chris Jensen, an
English major and mother of
three with one more expected in
June, she findsthe most difficult
task is being able to divide her
time between the home and
school work without letting one
suffer. Her husband is an in-
dustrial engineer and helps her
with the housework. Chris, after
a year at Georgia State
Un iversity, here in Atlanta, came
to Agnes Scott because of high
academic standards and
excellent literature department.
She feels after three years that
her education at Agnes Scott
has rewarded her with intellec-
tual stimulation as well as meet-
ing new people. When asked

what her plans were after she
graduates she responded that if
she decides to go to graduate
school, she will wait a few years
or will do some counselling work
in psychology, a field in which
she took many electives.

Eleanor Cullens is another
graduating Return to College
student. She is a psychology ma-
jor. She was a traditional
student ten years ago at Agnes
Scott. Realizing how important
an undergraduate degree is to
have in order to do any type of
graduate work in the future, she
returned to Agnes Scott to finish
her B.A. When asked what ad-
vantages she saw in returning to
Agnes Scott, she said, "Here the
education is not geared toward
strictly memorizing the facts but
how to utilize those facts."
Eleanor works at Decatur Hos-
pital and occasionally as a
volunteer at the Georgia Mental
Health Institute. Since she
works and supports herself, she
feels that one disadvantage
about being a Return to College
student is that she feels they
should not be subordinated by
the faculty. She adds that she, as
well as other Return to College
students, have the same res-
ponsibilities as the professors
do, for example, paying bills,
taxes and housework. She feels
that Return to College students
deserve respect from the faculty
and that the "distance they
create should only be in the
"academic realm." Eleanor is
grateful for her education at
Agnes Scott and plans to do her
graduate study in psychology.

Mary Virginia Allen
Retires After 28 Years

By Melissa Breitling and Sandy
Kemp

Mary Virginia Allen, Loridans
Professor of French and
chairman of the French
department is, in the words of a
student, "a most caring in-
dividual, dedicated to her
students and Agnes Scott, and
involved in community ac-
tivities." As a graduate of Agnes
Scott and a member of the
faculty for 28 years, Ms. Allen,
who will retire at the end of this
year, issued the following
statement to the college com-
munity:

"Having entered Agnes Scott
at age 1 6 and having taught here
for 28 years, I feel as integral a
part of this College as the live
oaks on the quadrangle and the
bricks in Buttrick, all of which
were only a couple of years old
when I arrived as a freshman

I shall miss the students very
much, they have been a con-
tinual source of inspiration to
me. My parting wish for the
faculty is that it may again
become the trusting, loving
"family," that for so many years

made this campus a veritable
intellectual and social paradise
in which to study, teach and en-
joy one another.

"My post-retirement plans in-
clude volunteer work with
Columbia Theolological
Seminary, the DeKalb Humane
Society and DeKalb General
Hospital. Also, I hope to visit
regions of the United States
which, up to now, I have
neglected in favor of Europe."

Ms. Allen Received her M A.
from the French School of Mid-
dlebury College and Ph.D. from
the University of Virginia. She
presently serves as President of
the Beta of Georgia Chapter of
the DeKalb Humane Society. In
1975-76, Ms. Allen served as
Chairman of the University
Center Modern Language As-
sociation.

A fund, called the "Mary
Virginia Allen Scholarship
Fund," has been established by
the Board of Trustees, the
interest from which will be used
by a rising junior French major
who wishes to study in France
during the academic year.

EDITOR'S NOTE
The Profile would like to extend
a special "thanks" to President
Perry for his help and
cooperation in the composition
of this article.

On Friday, May 1 1, the Board
of Trustees of Agnes Scott
College held its third, or "an-
nual," meeting of the 1978-79
academic year. At the meeting,
the Board of Trustees an-
nounced the retirement of two
Board members and the election
of two new Trustees. Retiring
are Mrs. Joseph Read and Mr
William C. Wardlaw. Mrs Read
served one term as an Alumnae
Trustee from 1 956 to 1 958, was
re-elected to the Board in 1964
and has served continuously for
the past fifteen years. Mrs. Read
has also been an active member
of the Student Affairs Com-
mittee of the Board of Trustees
Mr. Wardlaw, an Investment
Counselor for Wardlaw and
Company of Atlanta, was elected
to the Board in 1957 Mr
Wardlaw held the position of
Chairman of the Investment

Committee of the Board and
retires after 22 years of service
to the College. The Profile would
like to thank Mrs. Read and Mr
Wardlaw for their contributions
to Agnes Scott College

Newly elected to the Board of
Trustees are Mr. Edward Gould
and the Reverend Wallace
Alston, Jr. Mr. Gould is
President of the Trust Company
Bank of Atlanta Dr. Alston, son
of President Emeritus Wallace
Alston, is pastor of the Nassau
Presbyterian Church in
Princeton, New Jersey.

The Board of Trustees also an-
nounced that Mr. Alex P. Gaines
will retire as Chairman of the
Board after serving in that
capacity since May of 1 973 Mr
Gaines, an Atlanta attorney with
the firm of Alston, Miller and
Gaines, will however remain on
the Board as a Trustee. Mr L L
Gellerstedt, Jr will succeed Mr
Gaines as Chairman. Mr.
Gellerstedt, president of Beers
Construction Company of Atlan-
ta, previously served as Vice
Chairman of the Board.
Succeeding Mr. Gellerstedt as
Vice Chairman is Mr. G. Conley

Dr. Mary Virginia Allen is always ready to assist students in her of-
fice. She will retire this spring.

Ingram. Mr. Ingram is an at-
torney with the Atlanta law firm
of Alston, Miller and Gaines.

Another issue before the
Board of Trustees at Friday's
meeting was the revised policy
regarding the use of alcoholic
beverages (RC 182) that will
allow the student to have
alcoholic beverages in her
private dormitory quarters. The
Trustees approved the proposed
new policy, which will go into
effect fall quarter of the 1 979-80
academic year The Board's
decision came after several
years of effort by the student
body to develop a workable and
satisfactory alcohol policy.

Plans were also discussed for
the initiation of a long range
fund-raising campaign between
now and the year 2000. The
funds raised will contribute to
the overall strengthening of all
college programs, the construc-
tion of new facilities, the im-
provement of the campus' older
buildings, the maintenance of
faculty and staff salaries, and
financial aid for students
Among the new facilities under
consideration is the construc-
tion of a new gymnasium, swim
ming pool and student center
No specific plans for the new
gymnasium have been approved
by the Board of Trustees Equally
important is the renovation of
older buildings on campus The
Board of Trustees announced
that Buttrick Hall and much of
Dana will be re-roofed over the
summer The upper floors of
Buttrick will be ready for oc-
cupation by fall quarter of 1 979
The Trustees also announced
that engineering studies are
underway for the renovation of
Campbell Hall, especially the
laboratory areas for purposes of
health and safety.

The Board of Trustees was
presented with a report by Maty
K Jarboe on the new honor
scholarship program that will be
available to the 1980-81 in
coming freshman class. The ten
Honor Scholars "will receive a
$1,500 annually renewable
Honor Award based on
demonstrated academic ability
and all-round achievement and
promise." The Honor Scholars,
who will be chosen through a
national selection process, will
be expected to present outstan-
ding academic records from
their high schools, to score at
least 600 on each section of the
Scholastic Aptitude Test and to
provde "evidence of leadership
qualities."

Realizing Goals: Not An Easy Task

What would you say if I told
you that The Profile will not be
published next year? I suspect
some of you might ask why, but
as many more might merely
yawn Well, why do we keep
publishing the paper? We spend
thousands of dollars, have little
participation outside of the
-permanent staff, and the editors
spend anywhere from 3-6 hours
on Monday nights trying to track
down their friends to help us out
of a pinch.

I do not believe we are inef-
ficient We have come a long
way in that department. Our
problem is that the goals and
purposes of the student
newspaper are not clear and I do
not think the campus really
knows what they are either.
Furthermore, the work, effort
and womanpower needed to
meet these goals is enormous
The few people we have writing,
and the editors cannot do it all. If
we cannot define and carry out
our purpose, then are we was-
ting time and money?

These questions were posed
to me recently at a mixed faculty-
student gathering. To my
surprise, (but with gratitude), I
was bombarded with questions
about what I hoped to ac-
complish as the editor of The
Profile. Oh, pipe dreams they
seem to be! First of all I
answered that I would like to see

the paper be informative,
entertaining, and to be aplace
where the campus community
can voice their opinions. Well in
all my glory . . and naivety, I said
the wrong thing! A comment
was made to the effect that the
news office could do all that.
Why are students breaking their
necks year after year? Well, that
really hit home and I began to
evaluate the paper, and why it is
important to the campus. All I
could come up with is that the
paper is very important tome. . .
now I need to make it important
to the campus.

Another point raised at this
gathering was that I may need to
better define my editorial policy
(I didn't know what that was but
it was duly explained!) I am now
on the warpath and this editorial
is the first step. We do need to
expand the editorial department
not just to attack any certain
feature about the college but to
bring many of the behind the
scenes happenings to the
students' attention. We also
need to look at the college as an
academic institution and begin
evaluating it as such, all the way
from the students to the faculty
to the staff to the student
government. In other words, l
need to write more! But it all
boils down tothe same problem .

I cannot write fire-breathing
eloquent editorials when I spend

most of my time writing articles
for people too 'busy' to do them
or because all of my writers are
already doing three or four
articles themselves. I have wat-
ched two editors before me
struggle in the same manner. I
just want to find the right com-
bination!

Regardless of why you do or do
not read the paper, do you think
it is important? I do, because the
paper should represent the
college and tell any outsider
about us, just by turning through
the pages. Some of you may be
thinking that you would like to
work for us if the paper would
just get a little better. That really
puts the cart before the horse, as
we cannot do much more im-
proving (as far as more and
better articles) until we have a
staff than can pull it off.

Last but not least, I would like
to appeal to all of the student
government organizations on
campus to recognize us as an
important and vital part of this
campus. I would also like to see
the paper carry as much
dedication and obligation as any
other board, even though most
S.G.A. officers are elected I feel
we are worthy of the respect
given to other boards' meeting
times and I think that once a
permanenttime is set up, it is not
fair for that time to be abridged
by seminars, programs, lectures,

lot to offer in reward for
dedicated service. We cannot
pay you, or have you elected, or

make you attend meetings. But I
hope that we can begin building
an ediface of respect to make
even the worst writers want to
help us out.

Maybe my idealism is running
rampant Perhaps when I asked

if you would mind if we quit
publishing the Profile, you all
said "GOOD." But the faculty
and students who were en-
couraging me to think about the
paper and its purpose made me
all the more determined to keep
this paper going . . . but going on
two feet and not on crutches. I
hope you will think about it over
the summer ... no experience
necessary.

Letters To The Editor

Dear Editor

I wish to thank the students
and staff for supporting the
snack bar this year. I have more
than doubled the sales from last
year.

Having been at Agnes Scott
for seventeen years without
missing even one day of sick
leave, I feel very grateful.

I have many friends here on
campus. I have enjoyed showing
interest and serving the
students these many years

Faye D. Robinson

Dear Editor:

I would like to extend my
thanks publically to all the

people who have helped make
the Social Council activities this
Spring successful. It is always
good to see enthusiastic
participation on the part of all the
students here. I feel we have had
a very successful quarter
because of this enthusiasm.

The Social Council has plans
to make fall quarter just as
successful. These plans include
continuing the TGIF parties, a
mixer, and the Black Cat Dance.
We hope to see everyone taking
part in these activities.

Sincerely,
Elisa Norton
President of Social Council

Job Prospects Dim

(CPS) This year's job prospects?
"Same song, second verse," is
how one placement expert des-
cribed it.

But while graduates will find
that many aspects of the job
market remain constant from
last year the hiring volume is
up, and business and the
sciences are still the hottest ma-
jors job seekers will find two
major trends developing. For
one, the government, both local
and federal, is hiring significan-
tly fewer people. It's a trend that
may have particular conse-
quences for liberal arts majors.
Secondly, openings for
paraprofessionals and "service"
type jobs are out-distancing
professional openings in many
disciplines.

Yet for the moment,
recruitment, according to a
number of sources, is inten-
sifying, some say to the levels of
the "boom years" of the sixties

In December, a 25 percent in
crease in recruitment was pro-
jected by College Placement
Council (CPC), which annually
monitors employment op-

portunities in over 700
businesses. Council officials
predicted that more companies
would be sending more
recruiters who stay longer, a
continuation of last year's trend,
when 40 to 50 percent more
students were interviewed than
in 1977 Preliminary reports
indicate the prediction was
correct. "We're seeing a lot
more offers," said Ed Fitzpatrick
of Michigan State University's
placement office, one of the
country's largest. The University
of California-Berkeley reports a
20 percent increase this year, as
does William and Mary College.
At Lehigh University, offers are
up 33 percent from last year.

MSU's office also predicted a
five to nine percent increase in
average starting salaries.
Fitzpatrick says early reports
show "the dollar figures are
higher." But because many
companies no longer release
copies of actual job offers,
Fitzpatrick notes salary in-
formation wouldn't be available
until July

'Babes In Arms' A Hit

This spring's play, "Babes In
Arms," directed by John Toth
and presented by the Blackfriars
and the music department, is a
pure delight. Written by Lorenz
Hart and Richard Rodgers, with
music by Rodgers, it takes place
during the present summer. The
scene is the Surf and Sand
Playhouse.

In the opening scene the
young actors work hard on
various props and backdrops.
The plot involves how the actors
are trying to save an old theatre
house from closing by helping
Bunny Byron (Liz Steele) from
giving up her share of the
ownership Sneaky, no-good
Seymore Fleming (J R. Carson)
is trying to make Bunny give it up
as a payment of money she owes
him.

A cat-and-mouse develops
among the actors such as
between Val and Susie (Brett
Rice and Sarah Burleigh), Gus

and Terry (Jim Duryes and
Marietta Townsend), and Miss
Jennifer Owen, who cannot
decide between Val and Steve
Edwards (Debbie Daniel, Brett
Rice and Peter Matthews).

After much singing and dan-
cing, the young actors get their
own great revere together,
which the famous Steve
Edwards heartily approves of. As
they say, all's well that end's
well.

Bunny gets her theatre; Susie
gets Val; Terry gets Gus; Jen-
nifer stands up to her mother
and gets Steve; and Mrs. Owens
ends up with none other than
Mr. Fleming.

Everyone seemed to enjoy Liz
Steele bringing down the house
singing "The Lady Is A Tramp ",
and none could escape the
delightful humor of Marietta
Townsend. Sandra
Eichelberger, as Mrs. Owens,
was also superb in her fast-

talking, fast-walking role as the
domineering mother. Sarah
Burleigh suceeded in wrenching
out the hearts of the audience
singing "My Funny Valentine."

Mr. Toth and crew are to be
congratulated.

Musical Talents Make
Mary K. Top Volunteer

Think you're busy? Mary K.
McNeill, a sophomore at Agnes
Scott College, is taking fifteen
hours this quarter, accompanies
the Glee Club, serves as an of-
ficer for her church group and
does volunteer work for the
Atlanta Cerebral Palsy Center.

For an hour every week day,
Mary K. plays the guitar, teaches
new songs and sings along with
her group of sixteen children, all
of whom are in the four and five
year old age group. While they

enjoy her guitar music, Mary K
says they turn into "real hams"
when she pulls out her make-
believe microphone. Mary K.
feels these "performances" give
them a chance to participate in-
dividually

Mary K.'s work at the Center
effectively combines her talent
for music and her plans for a
career in music therapy. Un-
fortunately, Mark K. plans to
transfer to East Carolina
University in Greenville, North

Carolina in order to take ad-
vantage of their special music
therapy program

If you are interested in donat-
ing a little of your time and
energy, contact Mickey Hearth
at the Atlanta Cerebral Palsy
Center Since the children at the
Center suffer from congenital
brain damage which usually
manifests itself in a physical
disability, there may be some lif-
ting and carrying involved.

Without Mr. Jekyll

Dr. Hyde Works Wonders In Observatory

Dr. Hyde, professor of astronomy, has worked hard to make our
observatory one of the outstanding facilities on campus.

By Cathy Beck

Dr Hyde and Mr. Jekyll?

When first asked to write this
article about the Bradley Obser-
vatory and Dr. Robert Hyde,
my imagination went wild. I pic-
tured myself with pen and pad in
hand, walking up a foggy path to
the domed building, where a
sinister moon shone and bats
flew above the door. But, to my
relief these images didn't appear
at the time of my investigation.

When I arrived at the
observatory, I was welcomed by
Dr. Hyde, who is a very
personable man with a warm
sense of humor and a refresh-
ingly positive attitude about life
and his role at Agnes Scott.

Dr. Hyde and his wife, Kaye,
have two daughters, Susan, 12

Kirk, Norton leaving

Senior Residents Returning

Each dormitory, with the
exception of Hopkins, has a
Senior Resident who is a
member of the Dean of
Students' staff and is available
for conferences and con-
sultation with the students. The
residents also work eighteen
hours a week at the hostess desk
of their dorm. By this time most
of you are familiar with the
Senior Resident in your dorm;
however, we would like to take
this opportunity to acknowledge
and thank these women for all
their help this year

This year we had two new
Senior Residents Linda
Palmer, who worked in Main,
and Janet Norton, who worked
in Walters After serving as a
Recreation Director at a National
Music camp in Michigan this
summer, Ms Palmer will return
to Scott to continue working as a
Senior Resident. She was
directed to Agnes Scott by two
Scott students Ginny Lee '79
and Cathy Winn 78. The three
met at music camp Ms Palmer,'
who is 25 years old, graduated
from Luther College, a small
liberal arts college, with a
degree in music Ms Palmer
says that she likes working at the
College and is impressed with
the responsibility Scott students
assume and our effective
student government Ms
Palmer has no definite plans for
the future Eventually she would
like to go to graduate school, but
is now enjoying a break from
school Aside from her job at
Scott. Ms Palmer has a part-
time job with Emory

Janet Norton, the Senior
Resident in Walters, graduated
from Agnes Scott in 1976 and
received her masters degree

from Emory this past August.
Janet will not be returning to
Agnes Scott next year because
she will be busy teaching high
school students in Charleston,
South Carolina. As an Agnes
Scott student, Janet lived in
Winship all four years. She has
enjoyed living in Walters this
year and says that the students
have been "great.'' One of the
major changes Janet notes is
the parietal policy which allows
men in the dorms on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons. We
would like to wish Janet a lot of
luck in her new job!

Almost everyone is familiar
with Ms. Hanna Longhofer,
better known as "Miss Hanna"
to the students. This is her third
year as a Senior Resident in In-
man, and Ms Hanna planstobe
back in Inman again next year.
Her plans for this summer in-
clude spending time with her
son and his family in Spokane,
Washington, fishing, boating,
and gardening Aside from work-
ing at Scott, Ms. Hanna does
volunteer work for the Red Cross
and the Veterans' Hospital
Much of her time is also spent
with her two grandaughters who
often spend the night and claim
they will eventually be "Scot-
ties '' Ms Hanna praises the
students in Inman as being the
"best girls" in the "best dorm "

Another familiar face on cam-
pus is Mrs Margaret Kirk who is
the Senior Resident in Rebekah
Unfortunately, this is Mrs Kirk's
last year at Agnes Scott Mrs
Kirk has no definite plans for the
future, but she plans to spend a
great deal of time helping with a
grandchild that is expected soon
We are all sorry to see Mrs Kirk

leave, but wish her well in her
future plans.

Winship Dorm has been lucky
enough to have a Senior
Resident and her husband. This
is the second year that Jill and
Doug Goldsby have lived on first
Winship, and they plan to be
back again next year. Mr.
Goldsby is a dental student at
Emory and will complete his
final year in 1 980. Mrs. Goldsby
works part-time as a secretary
for the Classics department at
Emory aside from her job with
Scott. The Goldsbys plan to
move to Emory this summer
where Jill will be directing a
dorm for a group of high school
students. Jill says that she has
found this year easier because
she has known what to expect.
We look forward to having the
Goldsbys back again next year.

We would like to thank the
Senior Residents for all of their
hard work From serving punch
at exam teas to listening to
problems and complaints, their
names and faces have become
familiar to all of us.

and Beth, aged 10. Dr. Hyde did
his undergraduate work at
Colgate, his masters in physics
at the University of New
Hampshire, and he obtained a
Ph.D. in astronomy at Penn
State.

Dr. Hyde is very excited about
the Bradley Observatory, which
he describes as being in a "state
of pure potential." . . With the
30 inch Beck Telescope (the
observatory) is the most unique
educational facility on the Agnes
Scott campus and probably the
finest astronomical installation
at an undergraduate college in
the southeastern region."
Emory, Georgia Tech, and
Georgia have no comparable
facilities for astronomical inves-
tigation. Although, Fernbank
does have a 36 inch telescope,
they are geared more to the
general public, where Dr. Hyde
hopes to accommodate special
interest groups, and specific
educational needs in the area.
Just this past year, the
observatory has had nearly 2,-
000 visitors. Cub Scouts,
elementary and high school
students, alumnae, and ROTC
students have been among the
visitors. The Lanier Sailing
Academy has used the
observatory in connection with
their course on navigating by the

stars Also, the Atlanta As-
tronomy Club, which was
started at the Bradley
Observatory, meets there mon-
thly, where some members carry
on part-time research.

Many of these visitors have
been attracted by the newly
opened planetarium, which is
under the directorship of Julius
D. W. Staal. It is Mr. Staal's in-
tricate projector which makes
the planetarium a reality. The
projector, mounted in a small
domed room, casts images of the
stars on the ceiling. This makes
it possible for students to learn
the position of stars and galaxies
before having to actually identify
them in the sky.

Dr. Hyde hopes to increase
campus awareness of the
observatory. He has had some
shows and receptions this year,
and hopes to continue this prac-
tice next year. Also, the
curriculum has been increased
to 1 3 new courses for next year
to update the department for
interested majors.

The Bradley Observatory is
located behind the tennis courts,
two blocks up a lighted, brick
pathway I urge everyone to take
a stroll up to the observatory. It is
a pleasant walk and Dr. Hyde
and Mr Staal warmly welcome
visitors

Senior Studies
Views On Rape

Catherine Paul, a psychology
major and return to college
student, plans to continue her
studies in the field of counselling
at Georgia State. Ms. Paul has
completed work on an
independent study entitled "A
Study of Rape in Its Cultural
Context."

The study looks at rape from
the victim's and rapist's
viewpoints, and investigates the
laws concerning rape and its
history. While doing the
research on the paper, Ms. Paul
visited a prison in Buford,

Georgia and interviewed three
convicted rapists. Only one of
the three men interviewed
acknowledged the criminality of
rape. The other two men
believed it physically impossible
for a woman to be raped. To
learn about the victims' feelings,
Ms. Paul worked for a time at the
Rape Crisis Center at Grady Hos-
pital According to Ms. Paul, one
victim summed up her feelings
best by saying she recognized all
the changes she would have to
make in her life due to the rape
and the impact this one isolated
incident would have on her life.

Catalyst Committee
Membership Chosen

Next year, Agnes Scott will
have a new committee named
Catalyst. This committee has
been formed to deal with social
and academic problems.
Catalyst would like to promote a
looser atmosphere between the
students, faculty and ad-
ministration

Some of the goals for next year
are: looking for ways to relieve
academic pressure, having
professors announce tests and
grading policies at the beginning
of each quarter and having a
dead' weak before exams, i.e.,
no tests or papers.

Catalyst will also perform
formal and informal surveys to
find out what the rest of the
student body feels is important
to campus life.

The new members and of-
ficers are Chairman: T. Lan-
caster

Senior Representative: Kim
Clark

Vice-Chairman: Linda
Wimberly

Junior Representative: Wendy
Merkert

Sophomore Representatives:
Sue Connor, Kim Young

Freshman Representatives will
be elected next fall.

Kemper Hatfield, S.G.A.
President, says, "I feel very op-
timistic about Catalyst. We've
had 20-25 applications for the 8
places on the committee."

Continued from page 2

The biggest increase in
recruiting, a projected 34
percent, will come from com-
panies looking for engineers. In
fact, 61 percent of all
recruitment offers on campus
will be for engineers. Many of
the jobs will be in energy-related
fields, and will command the
highest average starting
salaries. New petroleum
engmeers will get $1,645 a
month, the highest pay for any
specialty.

Students in science, math,
and other "technical'' fields can
expect 19 percent more job
offers, CPC says, and business

majors can expect 1 1 percent
more job openings.

Students in such fields as ac-
counting, aerospace,
automotive, banking, chemicals,
electronics, merchandising, and
metals will also graduate into a
wider job market.

But while CPC predicted a
five percent increase in job
offers for "non-technical"
fields which include most
liberal arts disciplines the
drop-off in government hiring
will probably cause a six
percent decline in the number
of jobs available in those areas.
The federal government is
expected to hire 1 5 percent

Job Prospects Dim

fewer graduates this year, CPC
says. That would bring
government hiring to its lowest
levels since the 1950s.

The decline stems from
President Carter's mandate
allowing agencies to fill only one
of two vacancies, and recently-
enacted Civil Service
regulations requiring a two
percent reduction of federal
civilian jobs.

Meanwhile, state and local
governments forecast a 12
percent decline, which many at-
tribute to cost-cutting measures
like California's Proposition 13

The effects are already
becoming apparent.

Fitzpatrick has noticed "less
interest in college candidates"
from governmental agencies.
Because governmental agen-
cies are a prime employer of
liberal arts majors, more of
these students are expected to
turn to the private sector for
jobs, creating a competition
that is projected to force many
into jobs that don't require a
college degree.

But liberal arts majors aren't
the only ones who may end up
with jobs they're overqualified
for. Department of Labor statis-
tics suggest that in many profes-
sions, "assistant-type" jobs are
increasingly in demand.

The field of education, for
example, is still widely regarded
as overcrowded, because of a
glut of education majors in the
early seventies, and the decline
in the number of elementary and
high-school students. But

teacher's aides are in high
demand, with 1 60,000 openings
by 1 985 anticipated by the Labor
Department.

Even with an excess of
lawyers (this year more than
30,000 law graduates Will
compete for only 21,000 jobs),
para-legals are an "emerging
profession," according to Aaron
Crasner, director of the Institute
for Paralegal Training in
Philadelphia. A growing number
of institutions are starting
paralegal training in face of the
demand.

Similarly, while the U.S.
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare is taking
steps to restrict the number of
medical students to combat an
"oversupply" of doctors, a
market is emerging for para-
medics, such as nurse prac-
titioners and physicians' as-
sistants.

Perry Names
New Chairman

As announced by President
Perry, five departments on cam-
pus will be directed by new
chairmen during the 1979-80
academic year. In the Biology
department, Dr. Sandra T.
Bowden will succeed Dr. Nancy
P. Groseclose who will retire at
the end of this quarter Also
retiring is Dr Mary Virginia
Allen of the French department
who will be succeeded by Dr
Frances C. Calder. Dr Alice J.
Cunningham has been ap-
pointed chairman of the Chemis-
try department, a position left
vacant by the death last year of
Dr Marion T. Clark. The History
department will also have a new
department head. Dr. Penelope
Campbell, who has been on
leave this year, will assume the
duties of Dr. Michael J. Brown,
the head of the department this
year. In the department of Bible

and Religion, Dr. Kwai Sing
Chang will succeed Dr. Mary B
Sheats President Perry also an-
nounced the appointment of Dr
Arthur L Bowling, Jr. to the
chairmanship of the department
of Physics and Astronomy

Chairmen of the departments
are appointed on an annual
basis by the President, with the
advice of the Academic Dean,
and usually serve three years
President Perry feels that rotat-
ing appointments reflect "an ef-
fort to carry out the wishes of the
faculty." President Perry also
encourages the rotation o1
chairmanships "where feasible,
given a small college with small
depa rtments."

President Perry described the
department chairman as "first
among equals" whose primary
function as chairman is one of

P.E. Profs Explain

Physical Education Credit, Exams Questioned

Physical education courses
are required at Agnes Scott. No
credit is given to students for
taking physical education. Why,
then, must students attend P.E.
classes? Talking about this with
Miss Kate McKemie, chairman
of the physical education
department, and Miss Kay
Manuel, associate professor of
physical education, the first
answer is that if credit were
given for P.E. there would be an
increase in the number of hours
required for graduation. Three
quarter hours would be given
per year which would raise the
total of 180 to 186 hours re-
quired for the Agnes Scott

leadership ." Among the more
mundane duties of the
department chairman, as
detailed in "A Statement on the
Duties and Responsibilities of
Department Chairmen''
prepared by President Perry, in
consultation with the Faculty
Executive Committee are "a
continuing evaluation of the
department's curriculum . ;the
preparation and maintenance of
the department budget ; the
preparation of catalogue
material .; recommendations
to the President and the Dean
with respect to faculty ap
pointment, reappointment,
promotion, and tenure; the
orientation of new faculty into

College

degree. Problems would arise
for those girls who are excused
from taking P.E. for medical
reasons. Is it fair to require these
students to take six additional
academic credits to graduate?

All students have diverse
skills in athletics. The physical
education department must ac-
comodate skill levels from
beginner to advanced in their
classes. It is virtually impossible
to grade everyone on the same
scale. Here, the students are
graded not only on their skills but
also on their understanding of
the sport. Grades are averaged
together based on improvement,
participation, effort and the final

exam.

Another question raised was
why do students need to take an
exam if they do not receive credit
for the course? Most freshmen
and sophomores usually have to
study for five academic exams.
The purpose of the exams, Miss
McKemie answers, first
depends on the sport, but in
most cases are necessary to gain
knowledge of the rules. This is
important, for example, if a
student would like to teach a
sport to children in summer
camps. In sports such as field
hockey, rules must be learned to
play the game safely. Miss
Manuel added that the exam

helps those who are
academically, rather than
athletically, inclined.

Should physical education,
then, be graded on a pass-fail
basis? Both professors agreed
that the individual grades give
students incentive to do well and
to expand their athletic skills.

Physical education should not
be regarded as a burden.
Instead, it should be regarded as
a break in the academic
curriculum. As stated in the
1979-80 catalogue, "the
purpose of the physical
education department is to as-
sist students in their physical,
mental, and social development

through a program of regular
physical activity." Therefore,
whether or not academic credit
is given for physical education,
its purpose is to enrich each
person's mind as well as their
body. And that is how physical
education fits into our Liberal
