September 29, 1978 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 Dr. Raymond Martin of the 1 9th-century romantic era Scott is made orchestra. The Austin organ at Agnes Scott was dedicated in 1940 in a recital by the famous organist, Virgil Fox. The Schlicker organ at Agnes of 792 pipes arranged in 16 ranks and con- trolled by mechanical action. This organ is typical of those played by Bach and other musicians of the era. A Letter to Home 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, Inside Faculty Reinvigorated ...page 2 Honors Day Speaker ...page 3 Country Fair Returns ...page 4 Old and New Faces ...page 5 Is Jimmy Looking for you? ...page 7 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, Con't. on page 2 Local Artist Displays Paintings Ferdinand Warren The Ferdinand Warren Collec- tion of paintings by the nationally acclaimed artist Ferdinand Warren of Atlanta will be displayed at Agnes Scott College Sept. 1 5 through Oct. 1 9 in the Dalton Galleries of the Dana Fine Arts Building. A reception honoring Warren and his work will be held Sunday, Sept. 24, from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts Building. The public is invited, free of charge. Warren, chairman of the Agnes Scott art department from 1951 to 1969, presented this collection of his works to the college this past May. Spanning four decades, the collection con- sists of 33 oil paintings and one encaustic work which represent a broad range of themes and subject matter. Titles indicating the variety of themes include, among others, "On the Pad, Apollo 1 4," "UrbanTurbulence,- "Shrimp Boat," "Yellowstone Canyon" and "Agnes Scott Bell Tower." Warren, who has been awarded numerous prizes dur- ing his art career, has works in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Academy of Design, the Butler Art Institute, the University of Georgia Fine Arts Museum and Telfair Academy of Art in Savan- nah, Ga. His works are also found in local collections of the Jewish Community Center, the First National Bank, Oglethorpe University and the Atlanta Art Con't. on page 6 Page 2 The Profile September 29, 1978 Profile AgneH &cntt (EDlkge lecatar, (&a. 311030 THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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.

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 In the meantime, enjoy (as well as you can) the new kind of panatels we have now on cam- pus and be sure to explain to home why a lot of the foreign language majors have been spending at least two hours a day in the bathroom in Campbell Egyptian President Anwar Sadat received an enthusiastic reception upon his return to Egypt following the Camp David talks. In other Arab nations, however, plans to undermine the peace proposal have been completed. The anti-Sadat leaders have agreed to form a military alliance of Syria, Algeria, Libya, South Yemen and the Palestine Liberation Organization. They also agreed to observe an economic boycott of Egypt, to strengthen relations with the Soviet Union, and demand that Arab League head- quarters be moved from Cairo A group of downtown businessmen are supporting the By Ruth Ann Relyea proposed one percent sales tax, in an effort to lower property taxes. The tax proposal is on the November 7 ballot for Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett Counties. Coke and Pepsi are soon to be challenged as the most popular colas. King-Cola Corp. unveiled its product in New York two weeks ago and received much publicity. The company is headed by an ex-president of Pepsi-Cola Co., who believes that new marketing technique will allow him to sell King-Cola for less than Coke or Pepsi and thus be a strong contender in the billion-dollar industry. The recent deaths of two em- ployees and the hospitalization of several others have prompted state and federal investigations of Southwire Cos smelting operation in Carrollton, Ga. Two young men have died, one of an apparent heart attack, and some employees have complained of various ailments, including chest pains. James A. Hill, Atlanta Federal Penitentiary's 10th murder vic- tim in less than two years, was stabbed while in a cellblock last Thursday. The murder weapon was a homemade knife. Hill was serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery. 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 Con't. on page 7 Xf $om of- *cu (jell frtfiW- ,rLto ttiL second stcLL t th*T*e'd W ItAtuL rnort coor*\ - September 29, 1978 The Profile Page 3 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.

Salem College President to Speak for Honors Day President Merrimon Cuninggim of Salem College, Winston-Salem, N C , will ad- dress the annual Honors Day Convocation at Agnes Scott October 4 at 1 1 a.m. in Presser. The public is invited, free of charge. During the Honors Day Con- vocation 56 women, including nine from the Atlanta area, will be named to the annual Honor Roll for their academic achievements during the 1977- 78 session at Agnes Scott, women's liberal arts college. In addition, the winners will be announced for three Stukes Scholarships, the Kathleen Hagood Gambrell Scholarship sponsored by E. Smythe Gam- brell of Atlanta, the Jennie Sentelle Houghton Scholarship and the Rich Prize sponsored by Rich's department store of Atlanta. Dr. Marvin B. Perry, Jr., president of Agnes Scott College, will preside. The Stukes Scholarships are awarded to the three students who rank first academically in the rising sophomore, junior and senior classes. These scholarships are named in honor of the late Dr. Samuel Guerry Stukes of Atlanta, dean emeritus of Agnes Scott College. The Jennie Sentelle Houghton Scholarship, established by Dr M. E. Sentelle of Davidson. N.C., is awarded on the basis of future promise as indicated by character, personality and scholarship. Mr. Gambrell established the Kathleen Hagood Gambrell Scholarship in memory of his wife to be awarded to a student planning a career in Christian education or ministry. The Rich Prize is awarded for distinctive academic work in the freshman year. Honors Day speaker Dr Cuninggim is a member of the boards of the National Methodist Foundation, Duke University, Vanderbilt University and the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges Before accepting the presidency of Salem College in 1976, he had served as an ad- visor to the Ford Foundation, as president of the Danforth Foun- dation and as dean of Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, England, before earning his B.D and Ph.D. degrees from Yale University. He is the author of several publications, including "The Protestant Stake in Higher Education" and "Private Money and Public Service: The Role of Foundations in American Society " 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.

Page 4 The Profile September 29, 1978 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. Ladyhouse Blues will premiere in Atlanta on November 10 and play November 11, 17. and 1 8 in the Dana Winter Theatre The play, by Kevin 0 Morrison will be performed by the Agnes Scott Blackfnars, and directed by Chairman of the Theatre Department Dr Jack Brooking, Theatre Technical Director Steve Griffith will be in charge of sets and lights, while student Sandra Eichelberger '79 will' head up designing and cos tumes The production will be "College Calendar" for Oc- tober gives the application deadline for Rhodes Scholarships, for example, lists 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 resident artist and potter John Mraz The fair opens 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, 12:00 p.m. Sunday, and closes at 6:00 p.m. Alvin Ailey Dances at Fox The world famous Alvin Alley American Dance Theater will hold company auditions on Thursday, October 5 at Spelman College in the University Center.

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 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.

Atlanta, Ga. 30345 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 Con't from page 2 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.

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.

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!! NSEF Sponsors Better Information Project The National Student Educational Fund is sponsoring, for the second year, the Better Information Project: Prizes in Education (BIPPIE), a national competition to encourage and recognize original student produced informational materials. Five $100 awards will be given to each of the 1 2 best en- tries. Winners will then give their award money to the student organization or project of their choice. Individual students and student organizations are eligible to enter the competition All materials may be in any media and must be aimed at im- proving the information available to students concerning campus programs, opportunities and experiences, such as orien- tation handbooks or guides for women reentering college. Materials must have been produced during the 1977-78 or 1978-79 academic years. Each of the 12 winners will win a trip to Washington, D C. at which time the prize money will be awarded at a national In- formation Celebration. Application packets are available from the National Student Educational Fund, 2000 P Street, NW, Suite 305, Washington, D C. 20036. Over 330 students entered the 1977-78 BIPPIE contest In- formation from last year's competition is currently being compiled into a Project Research Report, and will be available in late 1978 The competition is supported by a grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Fund for the Im- provement of Postsecondary Education. To date, the Chronicle of Higher Education, the International Study Travel Center, and the Student Loan Marketing Association have also contributed to the project. The College Entrance Examination Board has donated funds toward the project's evaluation ac- tivities. October 9, 1978 The Profile Page 7 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 Ray, Maryellen Smith, and Terri Wong.

The dance troupe hasfour ma- jor events on its agenda for this year. Studio Dance Theatre's first performance will be in "Christmas at Callanwolde" on December 4. Callanwolde is an 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. Continued from page 2 throughout the country.

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); .

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. Applicants will be required to take the Graduate Record Examinations designed to test aptitude and scientific achievement. The examinations, administered by the Educational Testing Service, will be given on December 9, 1 978 at designated centers throughout the United States and in certain foreign countries.

Tobacco-encrusted 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.

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.

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- port in order to continue to serve the Agnes Scott Community and to meet our goals.

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 All Writers, Photographers and Artists Come to the AURORA meeting Monday Oct. 9, 6:00 p.m. McKinney Date Parlor. chains. The game is payed in a variety of places in the Atlanta area depending upon which night of the week a player chooses to participate Monday-Flynn's with Bill Shipman and the Garth. Tuesday, catch your breath. Wednesday - P.J. Haley's and another night will Bill Thursdays - Mo's and Jo's with Horace, (Alternates for Thursday are One-Eyed Jack's and Five Paces). Fridays - The Beer Mug, again with Bill Saturday, its back to P.J.'s, but this time its John Cox spinning the records Sundays, take a rest and prepare yourself for another full week The top three spots to play are P J s, Mo's and The Mug Des- criptions of the track conditions follow, and keep in mind that 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 (Hopefully resulting in the expulsion of some of the smoke from Wednesday and Thursday nights) Next week How to Play Mt f roftU Agnta &catt (Eolkg* Secatur, <$a. rt0bcrlB,197B 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. Diane Shaw Box 348 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 Klettner (Laura) 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 Page 2 The Profile October 16, 1978 altje Profile Agnra g>cntt dnlkge lecatur, (Sa, 311031] THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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 By Betsy Broadwell, Nancy Rogers, and Shannon Ruddell 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." Oh Lord! by Antoinette T. Payne 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."

My child is living a life bound in chains; chains wrapped around the body chains never ceasing . . . always tightening with every movement.

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 By Lu Ann Ferguson Ever been mystified, 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? Ever gone to an institution of 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 take advantage of the facilities Ward off that Freshman Forty, Sophomore Sixty, Junior Jelly and the Senior Shakes with an activity that's right for you! 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?

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).

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!

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 of the big D. Drinking alcoholic beverages Many times after my Continued on page 3 October 23. 1978 The Profile 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 Continued from page 2 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. r i ARE YOUR FINGERS FAT AND FLABBY? IF SO, COME TO AN EXERCISE CLASS IN REBECCA RECREATION ROOM 4:00 P.M. OCTOBER 23. THE PROFILE WILL TEACH YOU TO WRITE, TYPE, DRAW, CUT, PASTE... 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- |oy growing up.

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 winter quarter. So-come and learn how to survive!!!!!

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.

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.''

October 23, 1978 The Profile Page 5 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.

Epicurean's Delight As a weekly feature of the Profile, Penny Wistrand will review a local restaurant. -Features Editor By Penny Rush Wistrand 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.

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 ___ Perspective __ 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.

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. Continued from page 2 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.

Eudora Welty to Read her Works f GREETINGS rtobcr 3 0,1978 Southern writer Eudora Welty will read from her novels and short stories Nov. 7 at Agnes Scott College at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. Sponsored by the Lecture Committee Series of Agnes Scott, Miss Welty's read- ing is open to the public, free of charge. A lifelong writer, Miss Welty has been a major influence in American literary life. Since 1958 she has served as Honorary Consultant in American Letters to the Library of Congress. For six years she was a member of the National Council for the Arts of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1973 she received the Pulitzer Prize in fiction for her novel "The Optimist's Daughter." Two of her books have been adapted for Broadway shows, 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. ...from the 1916Silouette ; Christian Association Proposes to End Affiliation With YWCA 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. By Angela Fleming 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 Friday Night Fever The Social Council will hold a Disco Top 40 and Beach Music party Friday, Nov. 3. The party will be held in the gym from 8:00 to 12:00. Warren Propst, performing as D.J., will 'flip the discs.' Beer will be served, along 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 are also invited, so put on some dancing shoes and come on out. 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 about the Atlanta Chamber Players, Call 373-0447 or 874- 4049. Page 2 The Profile October 30, 1978 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. By Eleanor Graham At the close of Elizabeth Hardwick's speech entitled "The Romantic Will in Creative 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. "The Alarm Clock" Continued on page 4 Dear Editor. I belong to a rare species of people no, I am not some sideshow, but a music major Why do I consider myself as Continued on page 4 By Emily Moore 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 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. test.

By Cat Wendt 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 College Football Nov. 4 Ga. vs Va.

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".

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.

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. There are other opportunities for the Marketing students. On November 6, 7, and 8 the By Peggy Davis Many seniors are taking ad- vantage of the resume workshops offered by the Career Planning Office. As they make plans for after graduation, Kathleen Mooney, director of CPO, is busy with interviews and individual counseling. The CPO is also planning programsforthe other classes. Freshmen: during winter quarter, the CPO will introduce the concept of "lifespan plan- ning". These group sessions will aid freshmen in their efforts to plan their years in college around longterm goals. Sophomores: there will be dis- cussions of the relationship of a major, extracurricular activities, and summer jobs to job choices and careers. Juniors and sophomores: through group sessions, students will assess their own 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 students will be able to attend the National Audio Visual Conference and hear a presen- tation on "Creative Management of Creative People." This will take place at the Hyatt and the students will be privileged to see the inner workings of companies, and sales forces at work. A shadow program will also be sponsored with two firms and their marketing departments. The students will be able to work with each firm and acquire first hand experience. The Marketing Course is useful and informative. The students are learning applicable techniques for their present and future careers, and Mr. Weber has done an excellent job in presenting the marketing aspect of the business world. interests, attitudes, strengths, and weaknesses in their particular career choice. Presently, workshops and conferences are available to every student. The Com- munications Series includes in- formal discussions with women working in radio, TV, advertising, public relations, book publishing, and journalism. Assertiveness training, the Shadow Program, and Women in Chemistry are other programs offered. In addition, the CPO publishes a weekly newsletter with detailed information on the workshops, job listings, and other employment news. The CPO resource room is always open, so be sure to take advantage of the information available there. Bear in mindthe four-year program CPO has outlined. Together, a career and goals can be directed toward a successful future. 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 Chapel. Dr. Margaret Pepperdene will speak on the nature of liberal learning. The title of her talk is "To judge and choose and renounce and . . . create." 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 definitely worthy of con- A worship service will be held in Gaines Chapel at 1 1 00 Sun- day morning. The preacher will be The Reverend Richard Hut- chson, Jr., Chairman of the General Assembly's Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. His topic is "Servant Leadership in a Technological Age" and the scripture is Matthew 20:22- 28. 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?

Campus nominating com- mittees and editors of the annual directory have included the names of these students based on their academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular ac- tivities and future potential. They join an elite group of students selected from more than 1 ,000 institutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the Dis- trict of Columbia and several foreign nations. Outstanding students have been honored in the annual directory since it was first published in 1934. Students named this year from Agnes Scott are: Diane Marie Beaudoin, Melanie Sue Best, Deborah Ann Daniel, Patricia Ann DuPont, Sandra Lynn Fowler, Andrea Kathryn Groover, Julie Lynn Johnston, Anne Curtis Jones, Virginia Louise Lee, Diane Elizabeth Peterson, Anne Hall Perry, Margaret Webb Pfeiffer, Virginia Varn Risher, Dacia Amorita Small, Elizabeth May Wells, and Sarah Caroline Windham. 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. Marvin Banks Perry, 87, former book publisher and father of ASC President Marvin B. Perry, Jr., died Sunday, October 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 Boston area where he was ac- tive in civic, cultural and religious, social and business af- 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 served as a field artillery officer. 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. Perry, foreign service officer in the Department of State. After the death of his first wife in 1 951 , he was married in 1 953 to Mrs. Nelle Alexander of Austin, Texas. Since his retirement in 1 957, he and his wife have lived in Athens, Ga. Survivors include his wife, his two sons, Dr. Marvin B. Perry, Jr. of Decatur, Ga., and John M. Perry of Chevy Chase, Md.; two sisters, Miss Hattye Perry of Shady Dale, Ga., and Mrs. Lyman Matheson, of Toccoa, Ga.; four grandchildren, Elizabeth Gray Perry, Margaret M. Perry, Kate M. Perry, and John M. Perry; two step- daughters, Mrs. Mach Mauldin of Friona, Tex., and Mrs. Palmer Dunn of Amarillo, Tex.; five step- grandchildren, and a number of nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held in the First United Methodist Church of Athens, Ga., at 2 p.m. Monday, October 30. Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1 in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Va.

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 and puts on a funny outfit or hat and proceeds to work in it for a while. She also has a habit of grabbing faculty members or in- nocent Scotties and dragging them into the costume room to try on her latest creation. She would welcome assistance from anyone, and would be more than willing to teach them some of Continued on page 4 By Angela Fleming and Diane Banyar Betty Ford and Buttrick Hall are notthe only ones undergoing face lifts this year.

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 of rock is what has taken the Buttrick Hall renovation project 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. The Profile will not appear Thanksgiving week. The next meeting will be November 20.

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!

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 Faith Week Launches into Action "Launch Out Into the Deep: In Faith, Prayer and Commitment", is the theme for this year's an- nual Focus on Faith week, Jan 21-25. sponsored by the Chris- tian Association Dr David Willis. the Charles Hodge Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Theology Seminary, will be the week's speaker.

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, this year at ASC, SBA proclaims February as Black Awareness Month (BAM) and the schedule of events is as follows: February 4-10 National Black History Week Tuesday, February 6 Gloria Gayles, English Profes- sor and Lecturer, Talladega College, Alabama.

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.

All copy is subject to normal editing 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. Tina Robertson Ruth Ann Relyea 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 Continued on page 4 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, B S A January 29, 1979 The Profile 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 phone on Visa, Master Charge and C & S by calling 881 -1 978 For mail order tickets write Dance Atlanta at 1 280 Peachtree Street, Atlanta 30309. 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! Page 4 The Profile January 29, 1979 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 and Applicants' Weekend depends upon the students at Agnes Scott The Admissions Office welcomes any comments you may have about the AD- VANCE We would like to thank everyone who had a part in the 1978 weekend con't. from p. 1 Before joining the Rutgers faculty in 1960, he taught at Williams College and Harvard University A member of Phi Beta Kappa, he has been a Fulbright Scholar and a Bollingen Fellow As a student he earned his B A degree at Amherst College, his M A at Yale University, his Ph D at Harvard University and did post-graduate work at Cam- bridge University , con't. from p. 2 word, it is used as follows "To alert a member of the gentle sex to the fact that she is no longer playing with a full deck As in.

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. Custodians Receive Awards By Ruth Ann Relyea The second annual awards presentation of ASC's custodial services division was held Jan 25 in the McKinney Date Parlour. Awards are given on the basis of attendance, in three categories: superior (perfect attendance other than vacation), outstanding (less than two days absence), and excellent (less than five days absence). Eva Lewis, an employee of Agnes Scott for 27 years, received the award for superior attendance. She was presented with a letter of appreciation signed by President Perry, and a pewter plate bearing the Agnes Scott seal. She has had only one day's absence in the past three years. The award for outstanding attendance was presented to John Austin, an employee of 32 years; Elizabeth Hawkins. 14 years; Emma Reese, 15 years; and Flora Scott, 6 years. These employees received an Agnes Scott medallion and a letter of appreciation signed by Mr Barclay. The award for excellent atten- dance, a letter of appreciation signed by Mr Black, director of the physical plant, was presented to Corne Cash, an em- ployee of 17 years; Lorenell Ghee, 2 years; Vera Latimore. 1 0 years; Annie Montgomery, 1 1 years; and Rosa Phillips, 7 years 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 Crossroads brochures from the Profile office @ tttye Profile 1001.CX3T9 12 JFubruaro 12, 1979 Agnes &cott (Eolkge Decatur, da.

Colloquium Airs Opposing Views Page 2 The Profile February 12, 1979 3% Profile Agnes >cntt V0v^ 4 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 Continued on page 4 February 19, 1979 The Profile Page 3 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."

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 insanity."

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.

Mr. Adkinson will speak on self-assertiveness based on a positive self-image, a topic he has frequently ad- dressed in lectures and Hatcher. Mr. Hatcher has his B.A. from Davidson college and his law degree from Yale University. He presently prac- tices law with the prestigious Atlanta firm of Alston, Miller, and Gaines. 190 courses are open to freshmen and sophomores with a limit of 12 participants to preserve the seminar at- mosphere of the class.

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.

Financial Aid Decisions March 26, 1979 The Profile Page 3 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 Continued on page 4 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.

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. Page 4 The Profile March 26, 1979 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- tivities sponsored by the As- sociation. To achieve my goal of increased participation, I plan, if elected President of Athletic As- sociation, to make any neces- sary improvements in the ac- tivities currently sponsored by A A 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. THANKS... FOR HELPING PEOPLE HELP THEMSEU/ES, THE UNITED WAY. Senior Class President 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.

Students who may wish to participate in the tour as a singing member of the Glee Club should make these wishes known to Mr Mathews at their earliest convenience so that they may be given the ap- propriate information. Please print this letter in your next Profile. Thank you Theodore K Mathews, Direchor Agnes Scott College Glee Club functions and in such outstan- ding annual class activities as Capping and Senior Investiture Since this will be our last year at Agnes Scott, I think it is im- portant that we keep class unity for that will be important to each of us in years to come. 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. Continued on page 5 March 26, 1979 The Profile Page 5 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. Junior Class President KIM LENOIR 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 Continued on page 6 What are your qualificationsf or the office of President of your class? My desire for the Junior class to be one body, to make its class projects a success and to initiate our sister class into life at ASC is my main qualification. However, I have held numerous offices in high school , a nd was Sophomore Chairman of Junior Jaunt. In general is there anything that you would like to see yourclass accomplish? Each year the Junior Class' main responsibility is Junior Jaunt, and it has never been a 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.

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 class projects a success but our entire junior year at Agnes Scott successful. MARIE CASTRO What are your qualifications for the office of President of your class? I have held various leadership positions in high school and here, at Scott, I have been in- volved in several different ac- tivities which have allowed me to see the variety of organizations (C.A., Blackfriars, Silhouette, Glee Club, A. A ). I have participated in both ac- tivities (Black Cat and Junior Jaunt) which the Junior Class has to organize In general is there anything that you would like to see yourclass accomplish? For the most part, I see a general need for enthusiasm and encouragement in our class especially as we venture to undertake the tasks of Black Cat and Junior Jaunt. I'm excited about our class and I think that we have a huge amount of talent and energy which could be used to our advantage. If one specific thing could be mentioned as what I would like to see myclass accomplish is for every Yellow Page to be an active participant in activities available here at Continued on page 6 Sophomore President BETH MAISANO What are your qualifications for the office of President of your class?

Had several jobs which demonstrated leadership for ex, 1976-1978, worked for City of Roswell Parks; Rec. teaching guitar to kids, 1975, present work for Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. 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 SUSAN MEAD What are your qualificationsfor the office of President of your class? I have been President of several clubs in the past (in my high school) Pep Squad (two years), American Field Service (one year), Head Cheerleader (one year). I have represented 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.

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 Individuals interested in this issue, or in sponsoring Truth in Testing legislation, can contact Ed Hanley at our office at P.O.

March 5. 1979 i This is very important for leadership. More recently, I was elected Chairman of Junior Jaunt for the Freshman Class. Organization was the key here. I think enthusiasm must be a qualification. I desire to know and use the whole class in- dividually in projects Ingeneralisthereanything that you would like to see your class accomplish? I would like to see the members of the class get to know each other better I would like to get more people involved in projects It always seems like the same people help with everything. In other words, the class needs some incentive to get out and do something. I hope that enthusiasm, ideas for new projects (for Junior Jaunt 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 J un lor Jaunt, I think that general apathy is definitely one of the biggest problems a President has to contend with here I would hope the concrete goals would come as feedback from the class, eventually. omore President, cont.

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.

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? THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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.

Sincerely, slm 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 April 16, 1979 The Profile Page 3 Arts/Entertainment Color Blend Prints Displayed Pianist Steven Hall to Compete Nationally by Lee Kite Agnes Scott's Steven Hall will be participating in the Naumberg National Piano Competition in New York the 3rd through the 7th of May.

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. : Cicely Tyson Visits Hyatt Regency Prominent actress Cicely Tyson will be the guest speaker at the annual dinner meeting of the YMCA of Greater Atlanta April 26 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

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. Write the Paul L. Garbers at 423 Glendale Avenue, Decatur, Georgia 30030.

Does your patio or screened porch need the beauty of luscious plants and bright flowers to make it more en- joyable? Then the Friends of Fernbank SPRING PLANT SALE is a must for you! On Saturday, April 21 , from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Fernbank Science Center greenhouse and botanical gardens, located at 765 Clifton Road (across from Druid Hills Golf Club) will be the site of a very special plant sale. Beautiful hanging plants for the collector, and a large selection of herbs will be on sale for the benefit of Atlanta area gardners and Fernbank's Botanical Garden. Mr. Angus Heeps, chairman of Fernbank's horticulture department and botanical gardens, will be on hand, along with other Fernbank horticulturists, to give free ad- vice and information on plants and their problems.

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 of the Security Office. 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.

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 moralist."

Often called the greatest black actress of our time, she said, "I hope that people consider me a good actress rather than a black actress. Because that limits me. Shakespeare never said Ophelia was white." Mrs. Linton Bishop, of the YMCA Board of Directors, is chairperson for the meeting. "This event will also be the celebration of the culmination of a city-wide YMCA membership drive," she said. "The new of- ficers for the coming year will be presented."

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!"

Page 2 The Profile April 23, 1979 editorials 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. <5t|c Profile Agnes &cott (E0lkge---Eecatur, (Georgia 30030 THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

'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. Celebrities Visit Georgia's Familiar Sites While Filming Movies If you haven't thought of what you'll say to your favorite film or TV stars when you meet them, it's not too soon to do so famous faces are getting to be familiar sights in Georgia and you may find yourself eye-to-eye with a celebrity before you know 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 (Continued on page 4) Atlanta Calendar Neil Simon's "Star Spangled Girl" Barn Dinner Theatre 4 - 28 April Jim Peck's "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling" Academy Theatre 13 April - 12 May Carotto Baroque Exhibition High Museum of Art 1 3 April - 31 May Triad Showing Unitarian Universalist Congregation 30 March - 26 April Decorator's Show House 541 West Paces Ferry 23 - 27 April Atlanta Symphony Robert Shaw Conducting 26 - 28 April John Rewald Lecture High Museum of Art 26 April Atlanta Chamber Players High Museum of Art 3 May Sir Kenneth Clark's "Workshop of Nature" High Museum of Art 17 May 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. Page 4 The Profile April 23, 1979 features 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. Eighth Annual Inman Park Tour Of Homes Scheduled A tour of 20 of the more than 300 restoration area homes highlights the eighth annual In- man Park Festival April 28-29. Atlanta's first suburb and original restoration area will Famous Faces 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. open its homes to the public 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. Tickets may be purchased through SEATS and Muses, or by mail from Inman Park Fes- tival, P.O. Box 5234, Sta.

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.

Top women chemists will dis- cuss career options in chemistry at a Chemistry Careers Conference Saturday, May 5. Sponsored by the Agnes Scott Chemistry Department and the Career Planning Office, the conference is open to future and practicing chemists. Conference participants must register by Wednesday, May 2. To register, call the Agnes Scott College Career Planning Office at extension 365. According to Dr. Alice Cun- ningham, chairman of the Agnes Scott Chemistry Department, "Practicing women chemists were selected as speakers for the conference to serve as role models for the all-women student body at Agnes Scott." The keynote address, "Modern Chemists Career Options and the Shatus of Women," will be delivered by Dr. Mary L. Good, Boyd Professor in the Division of Engineering Research at Louisiana State University. She is immediate past chairman of the board of directors of the American Chemical Society and a member and past chairman of the editorial board for "Chemical and Engineering News."

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.

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.

All copy is subjech to normal editing Viewpoints 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 Dear Editor, Applicants Weekend 1979 has come and gone and so have the high school seniors, all 67 of them to (hopefully) return as Freshmen in the fall.

April 30, 1 979 The Profile Page 3 features 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 (Continued on page 5) 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.

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 cordially invite you to meet Pamela Hill (ABC News) Suzanne St. Pierre (CBS "60 Minutes' 9 ) at an informal reception Friday, May 4 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.

Concurrent seminars, "The Chemist as a Chemistry Problem Solver" and "The Chemist and pageWJop Women Chemists" Scientific Journalism," will be held at 11:15 a.m. and again at 1 :45 p.m. in Rebekah. Leading the seminar, "The Josephine Petruzzi, managing editor of "Analytical Chemistry' will speak on "The Chemist and Scientific Journalism." Chemist as a Chemistry Problem Solver," will be Dr. Susan S. Collier, research chemist with Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N Y. Active in the American Chemical Society, she is a pastchairman of the Women Chemists Committee and is a member of the Committee on Committees.

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." a work such as STREAMERS and 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, SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL by Richard Sheridan, VOLPONE by Ben Johnson, Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST, Chekhov's THE SEAGULL, A TOUCH OF THE POET by Eugene O'Neill, ELEPHANT MAN by Bernard Pomerance, Sam Shephard's THE BURIED CHILD, BENITO CERENO by Robert Lowell based on a story by Herman Melville, and a new work. Four plays will be finally selected for the Academy's season running November through May. Mr Wittow said he welcomes suggestions from theatre-goers regarding produc- tions they would like to see at the Academy, or their "votes" on any of the plays presently under consideration. Subscribers who subscribe before July 15 may see all four productions for as little as $8.40 and have first choice of the best seats before the Fall rush. The Academy Theatre is a 500-seat thrust stage facility located at West Peachtree and 17th Streets. For ticket in- formation, call 892-0882. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, Continued on page 4 Arts Council Elects Chairman Grace Haley Secretary Liz Steele Treasurer Ellen All Senior Rep Grace Haley Junior Rep Karen Tapper Sophomore Rep Susan Mead Freshman Rep ". elected in fall Editor of Aurora Teresa Layden Blackfriars Patti Higgins Profile Lee Kite Dolphin Club Kelley Murphy Organ Guild Carol Piatnek (acting) Dance Group Teresa Lass (acting) Glee Club elected in fall Lecture Committee elected in fall Art Club elected in fall Page 4 The P/ofile May 7, 1979 features Dr. Nancy P.

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, but that she does feel that she has something special to offer because of the fact. She went on to read from Paul Laurence Dun- bar, Langston Hughes, Leroi Jones, Nancy Walker, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Mary Pinckney-Hill, and a host of other beautiful Black writers. After a standing ovation, she finished with an encore of three more poems and one last piece of advice for us all. She said that her only regret was that she and her mother had not been closer. She admonished us:; "If you We | Welcome | Your Letters 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 up at 5 a.m. to go on rounds with the interns convinced me that By Allison Taylor with Carol Willey 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 certain geographical district which is approximately 10,000 telephones, designing cable plans for phone service. She will notably, in animal cytology and developmental morphology. She lists as teaching areas of particular interest: concepts in biology, developmental biology, 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. be in training for a year under 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."

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.

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 Inside Kemper's Korner ....page 2 Chamber Music Comes to Scott ....page 3 Retu rn-to-Co I lege Students Graduating in June ....page 4. Ms. Myrna Young retires ....page 4.

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 . Dr. Ash Presents Slide-Lecture "The Great American Windfall: Illustrious Emigres to the U.S. 1930-1945," a slide lecture, will be presented Tues- day, May 1 5, at Agnes Scott. Dr. Adrienne Ash, an authority on German-American cultural history, will lecture at 8:1 5 p.m. in Room 109 of Dana Fine Arts Building. The lecture is sponsored by the Atlanta Goethe Institute and the Agnes Scott German Department. Dr. Ash will talk on the migration of artists, scientists and intellectuals from Europe to the United States in the 1920s and 1 930s. She will touch upon emigre personalities such as the author Thomas Mann, film director Otto Preminger, pianist Rudolf Serkin, composer Arnold Schoenberg, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, theologian Paul Tillich, psychoanalyst Karen Homey and Nobel prize- winning scientists Albert Einstein and Felix Bloch, to name a few. Dr. Ash is associate adjunct professor for research at the State University of New York, Albany, N Y. She holds her master's and doctorate degrees in German literature from the University of Texas, Austin, Texas. Her research interests in- clude, in addition to German- American cultural history, European and American folklore, contemporary literature, German literature in exile and modern German and American poetry. Orientation Council Sets Fall Events Orientation Council has begun planning for the class of 1 983, transfers, and new Return to College students. Meetings have been held twice weekly since April 1 1 . Bib Sister applications have been screened and notices have been put in mailboxes. The spr- ing workshop will be held May 14 at 6 p.m. in Rebekah Recep- tion Room. Big Sisters will also report for fall workshop September 4 at 7 p.m. New students arrive September 5, and orientation activities begin that night with a Come As You Are Welcome for students and parents. Regis- tration and course selection will be September 6 and 7 and classes begin September 10. The major events already scheduled include a trip to Six Flags on September 8, A. A. pic- nic September 9, and the rush sign-up September 10. Page 2 The Profile May 14, 1979 editori als ^ 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!

All copy is subject to normal editing. 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.

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 program was in its embryo stage and fit my schedule." 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 with art, first volunteer, someth- ing along side my studio, but not a full time job." Mrs. Kiel likes Scott's smallness.

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. Page 6 The Profile May 14, 1979 Del Taco's guide to Georgia hot spots.

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.

A farewell to summer with a special guest star Page 4 The Profile May 24, 1979 features 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. Rotary Club Honors Tish Dupont Tish Dupont, '79. has been rewarded by the Atlanta Rotary Club for her outstanding achievements during her four years at Agnes Scott President Marvin Perry selected Tish as the best all-around student to be honored at a banquet held Mon- day. April 2 1 The Rotary Club annually rewards one student from Agnes Scott. Emory University. Georgia State. Georgia Tech. Morehouse. Oglethorpe. Each student gave a short speech at the Rotary Club banquet. The Rotary Club then presented the oustanding students with a wat- ch The President of Georgia Tech is the chairman of the program this year Each of the participating college Presidents rotate the chairmanship Tish is a psychology major Among her many achievements, she has served as a member of Mortar Board and as the President of the Student Government Association. Tish also served on the Ad- ministrative Committee and helped head up the founding of the new Food Service Com- mittee She was also elected to the Beta of Georgia Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa recently The Profile congratulates Tish on her accomplishments and her fine service to Agnes Scott May 24, 1979 The Profile Page 5 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.

ALMAND, JR. 296-7638 5900 Memorial Drive Stone Mountain, Qa. 30083 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 "administration and Continued on page 6 Page 6 The Profile May 24, 1979 sports 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 Various Awards Given Athletes The Softball All-Stars met in their annual game at the Athletic Association Picnic on Wednes- day, May 16 Mr. Steve Carter, husband of biology professor Mrs Eloise Carter, coached the team composed of all-stars from Inman-Hopkins-Day Students and Rebekah They defeated the all stars from Walters and Win- ship, coached by Beth Maisano In the last inning Jennifer Williams hit a home run that brought three runs for Walters- W in ship The final score was 1 0- 3 Also at the picnic, various awards were given for interdorm and inter-class activities The Class of 1980 received the swimming award for the third year in a row This year's freshmen won the participation award in basketball There was no question as to whom the trophy for interdorm Softball went Walters held a firm lead in the competition A tennis tournament, with both singles and doubles categories, is now in progress New Chairmen Continued from page 5 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 the department and the 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 Arts education. HOW TO GET BETTER MILEAGE FROM YOUR CAR...
