1 980's - The Best of Ti mes for Higher Education

"Despite current dire predic-
tions about the immediate future
of higher education in thisdayof
rising costs and faltering
enrollments, the 1 980s can well
be 'the best of times' ratherthan
'the worst of times' for higher

education in Georgia."

This is the opinion of the
newly elected president of the
Georgia Association of Colleges
(GAC), Dr. Marvin B. Perry Jr.,
president of Agnes Scott.

GAC is made up of the 64

public and private junior
colleges, four-year colleges and
universities in the state. The As-
sociation's primary purpose is to
provide college and university
administrators with a forum for
sharing information and dis-

Mechanical Staff Member
Joins Career Planning

by Wendy Brooks

In the coming weeks, the
Career Planning Office will ac-
quire a new staff member: in the
form of a computer. The com-
puterized occupational in-
formation service will assist
students in planning their oc-
cupational futures. The CPO is
tying into the Georgia Career In-
formation System based at
Georgia State University. Com-
puter Career Information was
developed 9 years ago in Oregon
and has proven quite effective
across the United States ac-
cording to Kathy Mooney, direc-
torof the Career Planning Office.

A student wishing to inves-
tigate a certain career field fills
out a short questionnaire called
"quest." The answers on the
questionnaire eliminate certain
jobs for that student. If the
student's particular interest did
not show up on the screen, she
can ask the computer which of
her answers eliminated that job.
The computer also has an
educational file of programs in
other colleges, courses of study,
financial aid, school services
and admissions requirements.
The computer only services the
state of Georgia.

Agnes Scott is renting the

terminal this year. The rent ap-
plies to the purchase of the
machine. The total cost of the
computer is between $2800 and
$3000. This money goes to pay
the salaries of the employees of
the Georgia Information System,
who keep the file updated. The
use that the machine receives
this year will help determine
whether or not our newcomer to
CPO will stay.

cussing common problems in
higher education in Georgia.
One of GAC's concern this year
will be to work with the
Governor's Committee on
Postsecondary Education. This
committee studies the needs of
higher education and makes
recommendations to the
governor, based on what it
studies.

Enlarging upon his statement,
Dr. Perry said, "In the coming
decade smaller enrollments will
allow institutions to concentrate
on improving the quality rather
than the quantity of education
they offer and on making
available to Georgians of all ages
and backgrounds the rich and
varied educational opportunities
in our state. In these efforts,
which will require careful plan-
ning and cooperation by the
private and public sectors work-
ing together, the Georgia As-
sociation of Colleges should set

the pace.

"We continue to be grateful
for the enlightened leadership
and support of the Governor and
the General Assembly," he con-
cluded.

Dr. Perry, who served as vice-
president of GAC this past year,
was elected president at the as-
sociation's annual meeting
earlier this month at the
University of Georgia Con-
tinuing Education Center in
Athens.

hosting the event.

Two additional chats,
gynecologic seminars, will be
held September 25 and Oc-
tober 2 in Room 109 of Dana
at 7 p.m. The speaker will be
Dr. Malcolm Freeman, one of
two consulting gynecologists

Rep Council Publishes Pamphlet

by Cookie Hooper

"Welcome to Agnes Scott
College! And congratulations on
your position with the Student
Government Association of
Agnes Scott ! " With those words,
the Representative Council of

the Student Government As-
sociation kicked off its first and,
possibly, annual publication in-
troducing the student body,
especially new students, to
"Rep." The pamphlet is part of
an unofficial strategy to increase

student participation in and
awareness of the act of self -
government. Included in the
pamphlet are photographs of the
1 979-80 members of Rep Coun-
cil and a brief explanation of
what Rep is, who Rep is, and

how it works within the Student
Government Association. The
publication places special em-
phasis on the potential power of
an active and well - informed
student body and on the need for
individual involvement. An open

invitation to attend the regular
meetings of Rep Council, which
are held at 6:30 every Tuesday
evening in the Rep Room, is
extended to all Scott students.

Buttrick; Atlanta Energy Wise

by Sharon Maitland
Editor

Energy . . . Gas shortgage . . .
Odd -even rationing . . . These are
just a few of the newsmaking
topics heard around the country
this summer. During the mid -
summer weeks, temperatures
soared while tempers flaired;
Carter shuffled his cabinet like a
deck of cards, letting his energy
secretary resign. Gas lines still
grew longer; prices still rose.

So what did this mean to some
people? Is there really such a th-
ing as a gas shortage? Is it real?
No one really knows, but for me
the gas shortage meant that my
service station raised the price of

gas about 7 cents. Then they im-
plemented some "new-fangled"
way of showing only half of your
total bill on the pump, so
goodness only knows how much

you get ripped off. They even
started charging a dollar for the
car wash . . . with fill-up!
Ironically, I never waited in line
for gas. I always got as much as I
needed. They found time to
change the oil, fill the tank, run it
through the wash, all in about
thirty minutes. And, just recently
I read that the Commerce
Department is telling the
Canadians that we have plenty
of fuel for their fall and winter
vacations. (Canada happens to
be a large source of tourism in
the U.S.) But, for all the doubts
one might have about the
shortages, we all know that oil is
an unrenewable natural
resource. We must find
alternatives; we must look to the
future. It is encouraging to see
that Agnes Scott has taken the
lead.

The renovation of Buttrick not
only improved the looks of the
building, but also resulted in
some progressive features. The

building is now equipped with
energy - saving lighting. The
lights are based on reflectors
and a lot of other scientific
jargon, but the point is that they
conserve.

Buttrick also provides a great
system for heating and cooling.
Each room is equipped with a
thermostat so that each room
can remain at a comfortable
temperature, while unused
rooms are not unnecessarily
heated or cooled.

And Atlanta hasn't been sit-
ting around watching fuel
disappear either. The city began
years ago to plan a great rapid
transit system through the city.
The east line is now open from
Avondale to Georgia State. For
25 cents, you can barely afford to
start your car. That same
amount gets you downtown in
1 2 minutes. The MARTA station
in Decatur is equipped with
security guards and lighting,
combating the image of the

sinister New York transits.

MARTA buslines are also
great and rarely used by any of
us. But with increasing prices
and unbearable traffic problems,
learning the bus routes might be
a profitable idea.

More and more cities are
allocating funds to mass
transportation facilities. Atlanta
is ahead of the game! We have it
all right here. I hope A. S C. and
Atlanta continue to set such
examples.

Footnotes

by Sharon Maitland, Editor

A hearty welcome to all new.
students, staff and faculty, and a
welcome back to the oldtimers.
The year has already started off
with a whirlwind of activities
and I hope the freshmen
especially have enjoyed the
great efforts of Orientation
Council.

For those of you who are new
here, I would like to tell you a lit-
tle about the staff and the paper
in general. We are all volunteers
and anyone is welcome to join
the staff. The top appointees
(listed in the masthead) are
diligent, dedicated and hard
working. They put this issue out
alone, just to publish a welcom-
ing issue for the freshmen, and

to let people know who and
where we sve.

Secondly, I am extremely
elated over the turnout at our
first Profile meeting. Ap-
proximately 45 students
attended that meeting and many
are already working hard on new
stories. Thanks to all who
attended the meeting. And, for
those of you who missed it, we
meet every Monday at 6.30 p.m.
in the Rebekah Recreation
Room.

Now that we have a great new
staff, watch for a few exciting
features. We plan to visit Atlanta
hotspots, to keep you up on
national events, tell you where
you don't have to spend money.
All of this takes time of course,
but the Profile is on the way to
putting on a new face!

Walters; Rebekah Welcome New Senior Residents

by Joanna Splawn

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
hou rs a week at the hostess desk
of their dorm. We would like to
take th is opportunity to welcome
the returning Senior Residents
and introduce the new Senior
Residents.

This year two dorms will have
new Senior Residents. Theresa
and Richard Gillespie are

residents in Walters and they
both share the responsibilities
that accompany their job. Bon-
nie Stoffel, an ASC alum, is the
new Senior Resident in
Rebekah.

First of all, "congratulations''
are in order for Richard and
Theresa who are newlyweds as
of August 4. Richard and
Theresa are both students.
Richard graduated from the
University of Southern Florida at
Tampa, and is now a senior at
Columbia Seminary. Theresa did
her undergraduate work at the
University of Florida, and also

Bonnie Stoffel, and ASC alumna, is the senior resident in
Rebekah.

received her masters there in
Health Education. Theresa is
presently in the Emory School of
Nursing. The job as Senior
Resident is not entirely new to
Theresa because she worked as
an RA and a hall advisor for two
years at the University of Florida
in a dorm which had 1200
residents Richard may also be
aware of some of the problems
Scotties cause and face because
he has two sisters, Betty G . Proc-
tor ('62) and Sally G. Richardson
('69), who both graduated from
Agnes Scott. Both of Richard's
sisters lived in Walters while at
Scott. We would like to welcome
the Gillespies and wish them
luck in the new job and in school.

Bonnie Stoffel, the Senior
Resident in Rebekah, graduated
from Agnes Scott in 1 977 with a
degree in Political Science and
History. Welcome back Bonnie!
Bonnie spent the summer after
graduation in England with Dr.
Brown and then got involved in
volunteer work in Jacksonville,
Florida. She worked as a Com-
munity Service Project Groups
Coordinator in which she
recruited Senior Citizens for
volunteer work, worked as a
liaison between the citizens and
the organization, and led several
projects. While working with
this volunteer organization Bon-
nie also tutored inner city

seventh graders and would often
spend Saturday afternoons tak-
ing them to museums, art
galleries, and other places of
cultural interest. Her work with
younger children led Bonnie to
decide that she might enjoy
working with young adults. This
decision led her to Huntsville,
Alabama, to accept a job as a
counselor at a Summer Youth
Employment Program for
Madison City. Bonnie worked as
a counselor with people from
ages 14-21 and counseled them
in areas of job related problems.
She also helped arrange and

coordinate a three day
awareness program. I'm sure
Bonnie will be a big help to all of
the seniors as they begin making
decisions about careers. Bonnie
is presently enrolled in Georgia
State University where she is
working on a masters degree in
Education with a minor in Com-
munity Counseling. Welcome
back Bonnie, and good luck at
Georgia State.

We would like to welcome all
of the Senior Residents to Scott
and we look forward to sharing
good times, problems, exam
teas, and a new year with them I

N\cFa\\ Joins Dean of Students, Admissions

Denise has found her stay at
Scott to be "one of the most
positive work experiences" she
has ever had. Denise is delighted
with the "extremely progres-
sive" atmosphere at Scott and is
encouraged by the foresight of
the members of the ad-
ministration and faculty who im-
plemented such programs as the
Business Preparatory
Certificate, the dual degree
program with Georgia Tech, and
the Washington Semester.

For the present, Denise is
keeping her plans and ideas con-
fidential. But if personality is an
adequate indicator, Denise
McFall's future programs at
Agnes Scott College can only be
exciting and successful.

by Cookie Hooper

Among the newcomers to the
administration of Agnes Scott
College is Denise McFall. Denise
is attractive, poised, confident,
friendly . . . and, sigh!, extremely
talented.

Denise describes her position
at Scott as a "dual ap-
pointment." Officially, she is As-

sistant to the Director of Ad-
missions /Assistant to the Dean
of Students. Her duties in the
Admissions office include the
recru itment of new students and
series by George H. Ramsey,
professor, College of Architec-
ture, Georgia Institute of
Technology)

the implementation of a special
program designed to appeal to
the minority student. Denise will
also travel nationally on behalf
of Admissions and will also
serve as an admissions
counselor and as an advisor to
the Student Admissions
Representatives. The Dean of
Students office will benefit from
Denise's talent and skill. As an
assistant to Dean Kirkland,
Denise will counsel students
and serve as an advisor to the
Students for Black Awareness
and several other campus
organizations as yet unknown.

Describing her background as
primarily within the fields of
marketing, public relations,
broadcasting, and advertising,
Denise brings to Scott career
experiences that are as interes-
ting as they are professional.
Soon after receiving her B.A. in
English and Education from
North Carolina Central
University in Durham, and doing
some graduate work in market-
ing at New York University,
Denise took up the position of
Commercial Coordinator for
Nighttime Programming with
the American Broadcasting

Corporation. After leaving ABC,
Denise was employed by several
advertising firms in New York. A
move to Charleston to enjoy
some southern sunshine
resulted in Denise's em-
ployment with a CBS affiliate.
Before moving to Atlanta,
Denise held the position of As-
sistant Advertising Director for a
southeastern retail chain. In
Atlanta, Denise was employed
by Emory University. For two
academic years, Denise worked
as the Coordinator of
Recruitment and Retention for
the school of nursing and other
graduate and professional
programs at Emory. July of this
year and Agnes Scott College
were the time and place for
Denise's next professional
move.

Denise sees herself as
"somewhat of a feminist" and
views the months ahead at Scott
with optimism. Fresh from the
field of corporate advertising
which is primarily a "man's
world, " Denise feels that Scott is
a "natural setting" in which she
can exercise her professional
talent without being expected to
sacrifice her femininity. So far,

Ensemble Finds Home At Scott

Music lovers are invited
behind the scenes for a look at
the rehearsal world of chamber
music. Beginning Sept. 27 the

According to Paul Peace,
spokeswoman for the ensemble,
during the open rehearsals
"audience members will hear
the discussions among the
musicians that bring about the
final cohesive interpretation of
the musical ideas by the ensem-
ble."

Ms. Peace said that the
ensemble "will answer ques-
tions from the audience and
discuss, among other ideas,
unconventional instrumental

techniques used by contem-
porary chamber music com-
posers." Rehearsal music will
range from baroque to the
avant-quarde.

For their 1979-80 concert
season the Atlanta Chamber
PLayers are participating in a
45-day Paul Foundation
Chamber Music Residency

For All

For those of you who wish to
become cultured, but can't af-
ford it, the Atlanta Historical
Society and the High Museum of
Art are offering some free - for -
alii

An exhibition of works by
Georgia artists opened on
Saturday, September 15, in the
NOrth Gallery (first floor) of the
High Museum of Art. Seven
Artists in Georgia, selected by
the jury of Artists in Georgia
1978 will be on view through
October 14. There is no ad-
mission charge.

In addition to selecting the
works for last fall's Artists in
Georgia exhibition, jurors Sam
Gilliam and Roy Slade chose the
artists for this group exhibition:
painter Vee Brown of Young
Harris, Ga., painter Davis Cone
of Athens, Ga., sculptor Paul
Freundt of Atlanta,
photographer David J. Kaminsky
of Atlanta, photographer Ken
Lavine of Chamblee, Ga., painter
Soteris Sam Roussi of Atlanta,
and sculptor Jean Sutter of
Atlanta.

Ninety-nine photographs of
newly discovered Southern
decorative arts gleaned from the
research files of the Museum of
Early Southern Decorative Arts
in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, will be exhibited at the
Atlanta Historical Society in
Walter McElreath Hall August
24 through October 21 , 1979.

Photographs of ceramics,
furniture, metals, paintings, and
textiles dating prior to 1 821 , give
a visual history of the objects
which early Southern craftsmen
made. Most of these artifacts
have never been seen by the
public as they are still located in
private collections. Their
diversity and distinction illus-
trate the cultural sophistication
of Southern society.

A brochure accompanying the
exhibi f ion relates the im-
portance of studying Southern
patterns of immigration, design
srurces for the artifacts, and

newspaper advertisements by
craftsmen. Corresponding to the
differentcultural settlements, as
South is divided into three
regions: Chespeake, Low Coun-
try, and Back Country. The
characteristics and traditions in
Southern design are a product of
these regional divisions.
Newspaper advertisements
further explain who the artisan
was, the desires of the

purchasers, and what was being
produced.

The exhibition is on view at the
Atlanta Historical Society's
Walter McElreath Hall, at 3101
Andrews Drive, N.W., and is
open to the public at no charge
Tuesday through Saturday from
10:30 to 4:30 and Sunday from
2:00 to 4:30. The exhibition at
the Historical Society will be the
premier showing of the
photographs.

Black Cat Guidelines, 1979

by Cindy Dantzler
Mortar Board President

Black Cat is one of the most
exciting events each year in the
life of a Scottie. Mortar Board is
greatly looking forward to this
year's Black Cat and we hope it
will be the best year ever. We
want the mascot-chasing and
class competition to be fun for
everyone, but we felt it neces-
sary to lay down a few guidelines
in order to help things run
smoothly.

1) Be considerate and mature
and display common sense as
you participate in the activities

2) Any harassment on campus
should not begin until 7 days
before the bonfire (Sept. 27).

This does not mean that the
sophomores cannot be playing
detective before this time.

3) Remember that the Honor
System applies during ALL Black
Cat activities.

4) No master keys should be
taken in order to break into
rooms on campus.

5) Clean up your own messes;
do not leave refuse for the maids
to clean up.

6) Freshmen must do work on
their mascot on campus or in
faculty housing.

7) Pranks are to be confined to
the campus, i.e., no road tripping

8) There is to be no threatening
of freshmen or forcing them to
disobey college regulations, i.e.,

We hope that the enthusiasm
that we have will be shared by
everyone this year, so break
away from those long hours of
studying and let loose at the
Social Council functions. See

staying out past curfew.

formed of the mascot AS SOON
AS IT IS CHOSEN.

10) There is to be no des-

Orientation Council
Greets Freshman Class

by Lynne Perry
Orientation Council
Chairman

It's been said many times and
in many ways, but again, I'd like
to add an official "welcome" to
the Class of 1983. Orientation
Council spent many hours last
spring quarter and individually
during the summer in planning,
coordinating and finalizing
orientation activities. These girls
have been extremely dedicated
and enthusiastic in their efforts.
I hope that we have helped you
to make the transition from
home to ASC as easy as pos-
sible.

The members of O.C. are
Claire Wannemaker, vice
chairman and a junior from St.
Matthews, S C.; Treasurer Deb-

Honor Basis Of System

by Jenny Spencer
Honor Court Chairman

As this year's Honor Court
Chairman, I would like to extend
a special welcome to all new
students here at Agnes Scott
College. Many, many facts about
living and studying at Scott have
been thrown at you this past
week, and hopefully you had
some time to absorb this
material.

I am looking forward to this

new year and to another year of
living under the honor system.
I'm sure that already every new
student is conscious of the
tremendous amount of trust
given to every student. Honor
Court members have tried to im-
press upon each new student
during orientation, the res-
ponsibility which goes hand in
hand with this trust. We have a
wonderful honor system which

gives each student the freedom
to achieve to their fullest poten-
tial, and the future of this Honor
System rests in the hands of
every individual student.

If there are any questions at all
about the Honor System, any
Honor Court member or myself
will be more than happy to
answer them. Good luck in this
new quarter and I hope to get a
chance to meet all of you.

klin, Ky.; Social Chairman
Barbara Patton from Kingsport,
Tn.; Rush Chairman Mary
Ebinger, a junior from Atlanta
and 2 Return To College Co-
Chairmen, Susan Smith and
Susan Little, both from the
Atlanta area.

I can't think of anyone on cam-
pus who is more excited about
getting to know you than these

girls. Please feel free to call on
us if you have questions or if you
just want to chat. I'd also like to
encourage you to fill out the
evaluation form for the entire
Orientation program, which we
will put in your boxes at the end
of fall quarter. We rely on your
opinions and recommendations
for the improvement of your
program. See you around!

Interdorm Faces Change

by Kathy Hollywood
Interdorm Chairman

This being the opening of yet
another year at ASC, I would like
to extend a warm welcome to all
our bright-eyed new students . . .
and also the bleary-eyed old
ones! lam looking forward to a
year of meeting many new
friends and eventually bidding
all a fond farewell in June. That
leaves ten months with which to
get acquainted with over one
hundred new faces (I don't dare
even imply that I'll learn all those
names . . . you know, senior
senility and all that).

To be totally honest, Interdorm
is facing this year with a bit of
apprehension. New policies
such as curfewless freshman
weekends and drinking in the
dorms have us on our toes. We'd
like to believe there won't be any
problems, but we realize that
any new system has kinks that
have to be worked out through

experience. However, after
meeting most of the freshmen I
feel much more confident that
misuse of the new policies will
be minimal. ASC seems to have
reeled in quite a fine group this
year (at least that's what their
parents paid me to say!)

I have an extraordinarily fine
board backing me up and our
whole purpose is to keep
students happy in their dorms.
Your dorm counselors,
presidents, and secretaries are
happy to handle any problems
that might crop up. I urge you to
commmunicate with the council
if something is bothering you.
Consideration of others and
communication with others will,
hopefully, lead to a pleasant year
for all of us. I only ask that you be
patient if some slip-ups do occur
because we're all new at this. I
hope we can all help each other
grow in the upcoming year . . .
and I bid a special wish of good
luck to the class of '83.

Freshman Class- A Profile

The following information was compiled by Judy M. Tindel, director of admissions.

The Class of 1 983 is made up of 1 44 students, compared with 1 50 entering last fall quarter.
There are 188 new students total this year.

We had a larger freshman application pool but we rejected 50% more applications than last

year.

Fifty four percent of the accepted applicants enrolled. The national average is much lower
than this. One factor contributing to the lower number of entering freshmen is that school
opened two weeks earlier than last year. In that time span, 5 more students enrolled last fall.

The primary reason for enrolling in Agnes Scott was the college's academic reputation. This
was determined by a questionnaire sent out by the admissions office.
High School Ranks:

One third of the Class of '83 graduated in the top 5% of their class.
Fifty one percent were in the top 10% of their class.

Virtually all of the entering freshmen were in the top one half of their class.
Six freshmen were valedictorian of their class
Seventy three percent graduated from public schools.
Twenty seven percent graduated from private schools.

There are four Agnes Scott National Merit Scholarship Finalists entering this year.
SAT Averages: (based on most current available data; scores out of a possible 1 600 composite)

The National SAT average composite (for women) 869

The regional southeast composite 829

The Georgia average composite 792

The Agnes Scott average composite 1067

(up from last year)

ACT Averages: (based on most current available data; scores out of a possible 36.)

The National ACT Average 179

The Regional ACT Average 15 9

The Agnes Scott Average 25.0 (up from last year)

Security Attends
Summer School

by Melissa Breitling

The officers of the Agnes Scott
Security Department attended a
two week training program this
past summer with the officers of
the Decatur City Police
Department. The training
program consisted of classroom
instruction on new laws, of-
ficers' conduct, crime scene
investigation, and field training
in the handling and use of
firearms. The Attorney
General's office, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, and the

Decatur City Police Department
supplied the instructors for the
course.

After the two week training
program, Agnes Scott Security
Officers attended a firearms
training program sponsored by
Agnes Scott College and the
Decatur City Police Department.
The program consisted of clas-
sroom instruction on firearms'
safety and field instruction. On
completion of the program, of-
ficers had to qualify to carry a
firearm by firing a passing score
on the shooting range.

To celebrate the 100th an-
niversary of the founding of
psychology as an experimentally
based science, the Agnes Scott
College psychology department
sponsored on Sept. 18 and 19
two lectures on the history of
psychology and currenttrends in
psychological research. Dr.
Richard J. Anderson, professor
of psychology emeritus at the
University of Florida, spoke
Tuesday, Sept. 1 8 on "A Centen-
nial Perspective on Wundt's
Psychological System."

One hundred years ago in
1879 psychology, as a science,
was born. A student in a
laboratory at the University of
Leipzig made history conducting
the first publishable controlled
experiments in psychology.

The laboratory was founded
and supervised by Wilhelm
Wundt, a professor of
philosophy whose primary
interest was what he termed
"physiological psychology." Dr.
Wundt believed that psychology
was an independent science
that should base its theories on
controlled experimentation. To-
day experimentation ruled by
scientific method forms the
foundation of all branches of
psychology.

Dr. David A. Edwards, profes-
sor of psychology at Emory
University, spoke Sept. 19 on
"The Brain and Sexual
Behavior."

"It is particularly fitting that
Agnes Scott College celebrate
the 100th birthday of
experimental psychology,"
stated Dr. Miriam Drucker,

chairman of the Agnes Scott
psychology department,
"because experimentation is the
heart of the psychology program
at Agnes Scott. The tools that
make psychology a science are
stressed in each course taught
by the department."

Dr. Anderson, who is widely
published in numerous profes-
sional journals, has already
delivered before professional as-
sociations several papers on
Wundt and his system of
psychology.

During his academic career
Dr. Anderson has supervised 1 5
doctoral candidates, most of
whom are now professors or

heads of clinical or counseling
psychology programs and con-
sulting agencies. He has served
as a consultant to numerous
public and private agencies,
among others, the Veterans Ad-
min istration, the Florida
Highway Patrol and the Florida
School for the Deaf and Blind.

Dr. Edwards, who is on the
editorial staff of several profes-
sional journals, teaches courses
at Emory University in the
biological bases of behavior,
hormones and behavior and
human sexuality. His current
research is on the hormonal
control of adult sexual and
aggressive behavior in rats and
mice.

OktoberQuest 79

midst of planning OktoberQuest
79 for prospective students,

Emanuel County Native Establishes Fund

Swainsboro native Marian
Franklin Anderson of Atlanta
has established, in memory of
her parents, The Rufus C. and
Wynie Coleman Franklin
Memorial Scholarship Fund for
Emanuel County high school
girls who attend Agnes Scott.

Mrs. Anderson's father, Dr.
Rufus C. Franklin, was a
physician in Emanuel Countyfor
over 25 years, and her mother,
Wynie Coleman, was a native of
the county. Mrs. Anderson
graduated from Agnes Scott in
1940 with a B.A. degree in
chemistry.

The chief purpose of the Fran-
klin Memorial Scholarship Fund,

in Mrs. Anderson's words, is "to
encourage the attendance at
Agnes Scott of superior students
from Emanuel County who wish
to receive an education of high
quality such as the one which
was offered me by the college ''

Mrs. Anderson was given over
$50,000 for the scholarship
fund. This gift is large enough to
provide a student from Emanuel
County with at least $2,500 a
year while she is attending
Agnes Scott.

Should a scholarship student
have financial need above the
amount of the Franklin
Memorial Scholarship, such
need will be met fully through
Agnes Scott's regular financial

aid funds. However, financial
need is not a primary
qualification for being awarded
the scholarship.

Recipients of the Franklin
Scholarship will be selected by
the college on the basis of
character and superior
academic achievement and
promise. The scholarship is
renewable so long as the
recipient's performance lives up
to the promise indicated by her
entering record.

Students interested in ap-
plying for the Franklin
Scholarship should request ap-
plication papers and further in-
formation from the Office of Ad-
missions.

By Kim Young

Last week members were ap-
pointed to the new food com-
mittee. The students are; Kim
Clark (Rebekah; senior). Sue
Conner (Inman; sophomore);
Lisa Lee (Main; senior), and
Lecie Weston (Walters;
sophomore). Get to know these
girls and let them know not only

your complaints; but what you
like too. The committee will be
working with Mr. Lee A. Barclay
who is Vice-President in charge
of Business Affairs at Scott. The
food service here works closely
with Mr. Barclay; so this is your
direct line to the cafeteria staff.
Take advantage of this new com-
mittee on campus.

Friedlander: Professor, Historian, Author

Amy Friedlander

Swanson Joins
Chemistry Staff

by Elisabeth Smith

Among the new faculty
members this year is Mr.
Richard Swanson in the
Chemistry department. Mr.
Swanson is originally from Iowa
and has also lived in Kansas,
Missouri, and Pennsylvania. He
attended a small men's college
and did his graduate work at the
University of Kansas, finishing
in 1975. At St. Louis University,

Mr. Swanson did his post-
graduate work in the department
of biochemistry in a research
job. He left there in the summer
of '78.

Last year, Mr. Swanson
taught at Wilson College, a
women's college in
Chambersburg, Penn. The
school announced that it would
be closing. In April, Agnes Scott
advertised a position open. Mr.
Swanson liked what he saw

here; the curriculum, the area
and the people.

Mr. Swanson says that the
people here have been very
pleasant and helpful. He is "very
pleased with the area." He has
only been in Atlanta for seven
weeks. He feels that he has not
had to make much adjustmentto
teaching women, coming from
Wilson. He added that the
college did not close as an-
nounced, but after coming here,
he liked it so much that he
"decided to stay."

In his comments on Agnes
Scott, Mr. Swanson said that he
has found the students very
helpful. He remarked that the
facilities are good and the
equipment is excellent. He feels
that the administration it sup-
portive of his teaching and
professional development. He
says, "I hope and feel that I will
be here a long time."

Agnes Scott welcomes Miss
Amy Friedlander! As the new
visiting professor of history,

Miss Friedlander is presently
teaching two classes here at
Scott: "United States to 1876"
and "American Colonial His-
tory. '" In the spring she will be
offering a broad five hour course
on "Women in American His-
tory." The roles and social op-
portunities of women from the
colonial period to present day
will provide a few of the interes-
ting topics of discussion.

After obtaining her B.A. from
Vassar College, Miss
Friedlander continued to get her
MA. and Ph.D. at Emory
University. She has co-edited a
documentary titled, "Southern
Women in the Recent
Educational System in the
South" and as side work has
written several articles yet to be
published.

When asked about her
personal interest in Scott, Miss
Friedlander made note of several
points. One of her attractions
originated from her own
background of having attended a
women's college. Another was
the strong liberal arts program
which is certainly a major
heartbeat in the life of Agnes
Scott. Finally, Miss Friedlander
had previously centered some of
her work around the history of
Scott in the period from 1 889 to
1910.

Not quite a newcomer to
college teaching, Miss
Friedlander has taught at both
Clayton Junior College in
Morrow, Georgia and Emory
University here in Decatur.
When comparing Scott to
Emory, she says that Scott
seems to be "less competitive"
and that there is more focus on
"traditional humanistic values."
However, she does not feel that
there has been adequate
enough time to distinguish coed
and single-sexed schools. This,
she feels, will become more
evident after reading the
students' written assignments.

In discussing what Atlanta
has to offer in the history field,
Miss Friedlander quickly
remarked, "It has one problem.
Sherman burned it." In other
words, there are not a lot of his-
torical markers and the remain-
ing landmarks begin at 1865.
However, she pointed out that
Atlanta was the center of the
Southern movement following
the Civil War so there are his-
torical societies as well as Atlan-
ta/DeKalb internships and the
archives.

Born in New Jersey and hav-
ing lived in Asia at the age of 1 6,
Miss Friedlander rapidly
developed a taste for extensive

traveling. Although she has
been a full time graduate
student for the past five years,
she has other interests. One
interest which she would
specifically like to pursue is ten-
nis. Perhaps some of the
students here at Scott can ac-

comodate her in this area. Miss
Friedlander also loves to read,
attend the symphony and is a fan
of Ingmar Bergman.

Miss Friedlander is a fas-
cinating person with a lotto offer
and we are privileged to have her
at Agnes Scott.

Dee Chubb

Bookstore Diversifies

by Nancy Brock

As one looks around the cam-
pus "change" seems to be a very
appropriate word for Agnes
Scott. The bookstore, as well, is
keeping pace with this trend
under the new management of
Mrs. Dee Chubb. Now that the
rush for books is over, take a
minute and discover some of the
new additions. You will find a lot
more than the routine stock
items.

There is a general reading sec-
tion that contains the current
best sellers, as well as related
reading material from the
different departments. A new
gift section can also be found
with everything from earrings to
stuffed animals. Right nowthere
is even a back-to-school special
with 20% off all sun-glassesl

Responsible for this in-

novation is Mrs. Chubb. The new
bookstore manager, has been
associated with bookstores for
the past fifteen years. She
previously had her own store at
DeKalb Junior College and later
was assistant manager at the
Georgia State University Book-
store. When asked how she felt
about working at Scott, Mrs.
Chubb replied, 'The atmosphere
is terrific here, the girls are
super!"

Mrs. Chubb's aim is to make
the bookstore a service
organization for students. She
hopes to get away from the
routine and diversify the
bookstore. She would not,
however, take full credit for any
of the changes. Mrs. Chubb in-
sisted, "I could never have done
any of it by myself. It was a com-
bined effort of all bookstore
personnel."

Alice Levine

A Cleveland Classic

Among the new faces on
ASC's campus this fall is Alice
Levine, assistant professor of
Classics. Miss Levine hailsfrom
Cleveland, Ohio (as her accent
soon reveals). She received her
B . A . in Classics from
Swarthmore College in
Philadelphia and her PhD, also
in Classics, from Princeton. She
was a fellow at the American
Academy in Rome and did
research in Italy for a year and a

half.

Miss Levine's courses this
quarter include Catallus and
Ovid (in Latin), Plato (in Greek),
and Classical Civilization.

Although she has no family in
Atlanta, Ms. Levine says her
best friend from high school
lives here.

With one of her easy smiles,
Alice Levine says, "I'm having a
real good time. Everyone is very
nice."

John Marin

Marini Fills Vacancy

by Julie Babb

John Marini is a new profes-
sor in the Political Science
Department. He is at Agnes
Scott for one year only, filling the
position of Augustus Cochran,
who is on leave for the 1979-
1980 academic year.

Mr Marini, who earned his
B A at San Jose University and
his Ph.D. at Clairmont
University, came to Agnes Scott
after three years of teaching at
San Jose State University.

Mr Marini has been at Agnes
Scott for only two weeks and

says he is enjoying it, especially
the nice students. Agnes Scott is
much smaller than San Jose,
where it was not unusual to
have up to 100 students in one
class

Mr Marim's special interest in
California was bicycle racing. An
avid cyclist, Mr. Marini would
frequently ride distances of 50 to
100 miles. He did not bring his
bicycle with him to Georgia
because he was not sure of
weather and other conditions.

Pilger Combines Pleasures
of Research And Teaching

by Ann Myre

John Pilger, Agnes Scott's
new Biology professor, spent his
undergraduate and graduate
years at the University of
Southern California. He then
had a two year, post doctorate
fellowship with the Smithsonian
Institute, at Fort Pierce, Florida.
During his fellowship, Pilger
researched the reproduction and
development of marine life.
"More specifically, I worked with
peanut worms, a type of marine
life."

Scott offered Pilger a good op-
portunity to continue research,
and begin teaching. "I enjoy
teaching and also research. The
situation here is such that I can
do both, one at a time."

This is Pilger's first year to
teach fulltime. "I felt a little
nervous at first, but I like the
students and I feel more com-
fortable now." Pilger teaches
almost all upper-level courses.

Pilger attended graduate
school with an alumna of Scott,
so he had heard of the school. "I

John Pilger

didn't realize Scott was so
steeped in tradition. I think the
college is aware of where it has
been, where it is now and it's
seriously looking at where it's
going; I'm really impressed."
Pilger has many varied

interests, such as jogging,
handball and "... justaboutany
sport." He also enjoys nautical
history and ship models. Atlanta
is the furtherest Pilger and his
wife Patty, both Californians,
have ever lived from the sea.

Kuznesof Leads Chemistry Class

by Nicole Pretlow

If you've noticed a new outlook
in the Chemistry Department
this year, then you've also
noticed the new staff that com-
prises the freshly organized sec-
tion. The Profile would like you
to know one of the new instruc-
tors, Dr. Paul Kuznesof.

Many students already know
Dr. Kuznesof through the
general chemistry class he
teaches this fall, and by the end
of the year many more will know
him through the inorganic and
physical chemistry classes he
will be instructing.

However, there is more to a
teacher than the class he
teaches and Dr. Kuznesof
believes that there is more to any
class than the specific subject
being taught. Besides imparting
knowledge about the fun-
damental concepts of chemistry,
Dr. Kuznesof hopes to convey to
students an enthusiasm not only
of learning, but of application
towards their particular
interests.

It is obvious to see this en-
thusiasm as Dr. Kuznesof talks
about his own scientific
background. Obtaining his B.S.
at Brown University, Rhode
Island; and his Ph.D. at
Northwestern University,
Illinois: Dr. Kuznesof trained
primarily in "Inorganic Chemis-
try " He also spent this past year
at the Naval Research
Laboratory, Washington, DC;
doing research on a project that
branches off from Inorganic
Chemistry, the study of "solid
state chemistry, and elec-
troactive polymers. "

Dr. Kuznesof's interest in this
relatively new field comes from
the "possibilities of integrating
electrical properties into
ordinary polymer products,"
which are normally poor elec-
trical conductors. Dr. Kuznesof
believes that current advances
in this field of electro-active
polymers indicate practicability
in the production of electro-
photographic detectors, optical
detectors and other electronic
devices.

At the present, however, Dr.
Kuznesof is excited about the
work he will do here at Agnes
Scott, not only with the
numerous students he will en-
counter, but also with his new
colleagues with whom he has a
very positive outlook towards the
success of this year's chemistry

department.

Expending great energy to
prepare all students in science,
the current project, as explained
by Dr. Kuznesof, is part of the
Chemistry Department's
program to involve students in
research by applying (in con-
junction with Georgia State
University) for a National
Science Foundation Grant.

If Dr. Kuznesof is an example
of the chemistry staff this year
then our students can indeed
expect great work to be ac-
complished benefitting the
whole school. One needs to talk
with Dr. Kuznesof to discover his
genuine interest in the student;
and it is his hope, as should be
ours, that we can take advantage
of the opportunities offered to us
in our particular areas of
interest.

Faculty, Course Evaluations Tricky Business

5fMEws! We want Tpo&wZ/ n^t ^Vr\

A recent article in the
Intercollegiate Press Bulletin
concerning faculty evaluation
provides a relevant warning to
our student body, faculty, and
administrative staff. Rep Council
is currently investigating means
of setting up a formal course
evaluation system to be used
campus wide. They are working
in response to student requests
and surely on the notion that we
desperately need some form of
student expression in our
academic lives at ASC.

But forming a viable system is
not an easy task, as the Radford
State College (Radford, Va.) has
discovered. A Faculty Profes-
sional Committee said of Rad-
ford's student evaluation form
that it is " . . . set up so that
student biases can come
through, and there is no clear
identification of purpose ..."
and that questions "... are rid-
dled with problems serious
enough to bias the entire result,
possibly to the detriment of
either the instructor or the entire
college."

Some questions to which the
committee objected are:

Was the grading policy fair?

How many times did you seek
the instructor during posted of-
fice hours, only to find he was
not available?

How often was the instructor
absent from class withoutgiving
notice or providing a substitute?

Are you free to question your
instructor constructively in
class?

Does your instructor make
himself readily available to you
outside of class?

Does your instructor present
material in an entertaining
manner?

Do the lectures/discussions
of this course seem carefully
prepared?

Does your instructor seem to
waste classroom time on
matters not related to the
course?

Have you come to prefer your
instructor for additional courses
in his field, if this possibility
becomes open to you?

It is easy to see, on the basis of
these examples, that faculty

evaluations can show personal
student bias. And that is surely a

great consideration of Rep in fin-
ding a good system. There
should be some understanding
on this campus that the purpose
of evaluations is not to ridicule a
personality, nor to give students
i theoretically-threatening powers
over faculty. The overall goals
are many, and students should
start speaking up loud and
clear on what they hope to see
evaluations accomplish.

Many other colleges have
instituted some kind of
evaluation for years. This kind of
give and take between student
and staff, at Agnes Scott, is long
overdue.

It is too early to tell what type
of evaluation will be created
here. Counting how many times
a professor cracks jokes in class
is a little much, but merely
evaluating the book list for a
class is not enough either.

Students and administration
alike should voice suggestions to
Rep Council members soon . . .
so that we can all help to im-
prove and retain the academic
standards so renowned at
Agnes Scott!

"Profile" Discusses Election Changes

The Representative Council
and the editor of the Profile held
discussions on Tuesday,
September 18 on the possibility
of eliminating the position of
editor from the popular election
ballot. There is now a motion
posted on the bulletin board in
the mailroom. Perhaps some
explaining is necessary for
students to understand the
purpose of this.

The Profile editor, in past
years has been elected by the
entire student body. The Profile

editors this year asked Rep
Council to change the by-laws
and to create some other method
of choosing the editor based on
merit or recommendations of
some kind. It isgenerally feltthat
the Profile is a unique
organization whereby
experienced students can more
readily . . . and more willingly . . .
take on the job of editor. The
work involved and the
knowledge accumulated while
working on the paper is the best
recommendation for the next
editor. However the student

body is generally oblivious tothe
operations of a newspaper and
thus, students are not generally
well qualified to pick the best
choice.

The Silhouette and the
Aurora both have appointed
leaders. The Profile hoped to
follow suit, however a valid point
was brought out in the dis-
cussion with Rep council. The
newspaper is the voice of the
campus. Therefore, students

should have some choice in
whom they chose to speak for
them. Since Rep Council is the
representative body of the
Student Government As-
sociation, the new proposal
states that nominations should
be made to the council by the
outgoing editor. The editor will
be responsible for defending her
nominations by showing the
merits of her nominees and thus
be held accountable.

The Profile editors feel that
this will make the transition of
editors smoother, keep
personalities out of election of
the editor, and increase the
chances of obtaining
experienced and dedicated
editors in the future.

Kemper Hatfield, president of
SGA, will explain the procedures
for passing this motion in next
week's paper. The Profile asks
for your support.

Dudley W. Sanders, Agnes

comes to us from Kenyon
College, Ohio and Northwestern
University, Chicago, Illinois. He
was born in San Antonio, Texas
and has lived in Kentucky, Ohio
and Illinois. Agnes Scott is his
first teaching job and he is truly

following information will be

In 1928-29 local architects
designed and built the Fox as a
meeting place for the Shriners,
but they found that it was too big
and expensive for the Shriners.
The architects then asked
William Fox, movie theatre
construction tycoon, for finan-
cial assistance in completing the
building. Mr. Fox did help
finance the completion of the
theatre and it became part of the
Fox Theatre Corporation. Since
that time the Fox has been used
for stage presentations in

"Cries and Whispers",
released in 1973, is produced

"Cries and Whispers is a very
powerful and emotional film that

Sowerby, late American com-

Film reviewers for the New
York Times have said about the
film that it "reduces everything
else you are likely to see to the
size of a small cinder", and that
"perhaps the only proper review
of "Cries and Whispers' is
silence".

building also has hallways,
lounges, studies and meeting
dens all meticulously designed
with themes in Egyptian art.
There is not an area in the
theatre that is not ornately
designed in a colorful, unique
and intricate manner.

Unfortunately, due to the
tremendous cost of maintaining
the Fox, the building was almost
lost. In an effort to save the Fox, a
non-profit volunteer group,
Atlanta Landmarks, was formed
in 1974. The group raised $1.8
million to prevent the Fox from
being destroyed. The theatre is
now booked with various
movies, plays and concerts
which enable the Fox to make
enough profit to stay open . There
is still an estimated million
dollars worth of refurbishing
that is needed to be done, but at
least the, Fox has been saved.

Hopefully, all of you will get to
see the Fox at Black Cat if you
have never had the chance
before. If not, it is really worth
your time to try and see the Fox
sometime this year. Last year
some of the students at Scott
ushered at various shows that
were held at the Fox. Ushering is
a fun way to meet people and a
chance to catch a free show. If
any of you are interested in
ushering for a particular show,

Frosh Elect Leaders

by Uisi Inserni

Elected as chairperson of
Black Cat was Anne Luke, a pos-
sible-Economics/Political
Science major, born and raised
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Anne decided to come to
Agnes Scott "because of the
letter heading and placement of
the College stationary!" She had
a choice between Randolph
Macon and Scott, and since she
had not visited either one she let
the Agnes Scott stationary help
her decide; nevertheless, she
also took under consideration
the "conservativeness and size"
of Scott, together with the
family's girl-tradition of going to
an all-girl's school.

Simone Hart was elected as
Song Chairman of Black Cat
Simone, from Paul's Valley,
studied in Pauls High School
where she took part in the High
Times group, which sings in the
social and academic gatherings.

Simone is a possible-major in
pre-med, specifically psychiatry,
or a music major Simone chose
Agnes Scott because her sister,
an alumna from Scott, in-
fluenced her greatlv Simone
plays the piano and guitar and
composes most of her songs

The two elected cheerleaders
for Black Cat were Angela Drake
and Uisi Inserni. Angela is
originally from Atlanta and is a
possible double-major in
economics/math. She was part
of the Flag Corp & Pep Squad in

DeKalb County High School.

Uisi is a seventeen year old
Puerto Rican, daughter of an
ASC alumna, who has never
been a cheerleader but who has
the energy and pep. Uisi is a pos-
sible art, or art/theatre major.

Agnes Scott College will begin
the field hockey season on Sat.,
Oct. 20 at the University of the
South in Sewanee, Tenn. The
team will participate in a game
against Vanderbilt and one
against the University of the
South.

On Tues., Oct. 23, Agnes Scott
will play the University of the
South in a home game.

There are three tentative
events to complete the season.
Vanderbilt, Judson, and the
Georgia Club are the possible
opponents.

The Georgia Club is not af-
filiated with a college. It is an
adult team based in Atlanta.
Miss Jo Ann Messick of the
physical education department
is a member of that group.

Members of the Agnes Scott

team have not been selected.

They will be chosen from those

students who attend the practice
sessions.

Hampton Publishes Article
in Undergraduate Journa"

Cindy Hampton, class of 1 980,
has recently published an article
on Plato in the Wisconsin
Undergraduate Journal of
Philosophy. The article, "An
examination of the Five Major
Forms in the Sophist: Are the
Forms Still Self
Predicationa I?", was also
presented by Hampton at the an-
nual Southeastern
Undergraduate Philosophy
Conference held last February at
the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga.

'The Sophist paper actually
represents the midpoint of my
thinking on the subject,"
Hampton stated. The article
originally sprang from a paper
she wrote two years ago for the
Plato course here at ASC. Then,
last winter, as she was reread-
ing the paper to see if it would
make a good entry for the
philosophy conference, "I
suddenly grasped the essence of
what it was I had been trying to
say." The paper has been
rewritten extensively to include
the basic ideas of a new
interpretation of the Theory of
Forms. After the paper was
received successfully at the
conference, the 21 - year - old
philosophy major submitted it to
the Wisconsin journal where it
was subsequently published
over the summer.

According to Hampton, one of
the best parts of the whole
experience is the opportunity to
share ideas with the philosophic
community. She requested and
received critiques on her work
from the journal's editorial
review board. "These critiques
have helped me revise and
expand some of my ideas which I
am now in the nrocess of in-

corporating into my independent
study," she said.

Hampton's independent pro-
ject on Plato's Theory of Forms in
the later dialogues was chosen
because, "although so much ink
has been spilled over the cen-
turies on the Theory of Forms.

'Brigitte Bardot", 1959

"Sunny Harnett", 1954

By Nicole Pretlow

Whether they seem candid
and free or posed and
extravagant, the photographs of
Richard Avedon are certainly
eye-catchers. A display of
Avedon 's works is currently at
High Museum of Atlanta in the
New Gallery, third floor. The
exhibition, entitled Avedon:
Photographs 1947-1977, con-
tains over 180 photographs of
women in fashion resulting in
culmination of Avedon's 30 year
career of professional
photography.

With tours given through Oc-
tober 21 and no admission
charge, one would find little
reason not to view Avedon's
photographs which have
previously been displayed at the
Metropolitan Museum of Fine
Arts (New York) and the Dallas
Museum of Fine Arts (Texas).

Avedon began his career in
high fashion photography in
Paris, 1946. He created "new
feelings" of fashion in France
during the 40's and 50's using
the couture houses of Paris as
his studios. As Avedon built up
his image of a photographer

through such magazines as
Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, he

moved from the fashion houses
into the city streets to find the
unusual and exotic look that so
characterized the 60's and early
70 's.

In Avedon's latest works,
however, he almost completely
changes his style by shooting
very simple yet expressive
portraits with almost no
background.

Avedon uses many famous
models. All of his photos are
alike in the manner that all have
a certain stark, yet elegant
quality. There is not doubt as to
the impression of vividness one
receives from not only the sub-
ject, but around them there is
also a balance which ties each
individual photograph together.
The High Museum offers their
opinion that, "His photos
recorded the radical evolution of
concepts of beauty. from the
elegant post-war fashions
through the frantic dress im-
provisations of the 1960s"

Avedon was also known for his
experimentation in the areas of
fashion photography, thus being
responsible for photographing
the first bare breast and the first

New Definitions of the Excellent Woman

by Cindy Hampton

When this year's Honors Day
speaker posed the Socratic
question, "What isexcellence?",
I was prepared for a very un-
Socratic answer, namely, the
same tired string of cliches that I
have heard expounded upon by
various people both inside and
outside the Agnes Scott "com-
munity". I was not disappointed.

Dr. Pressly's particular
variation of the recipe for the
"woma n (person?) of
excellence" stipulated that
anyone aspiring to such heights
should be one who:

1 . develops her body

2. investigates the sciences

3. is involved with the arts

4. develops her moral
character based on faith in "our
Savior."

I have no basic quarrel with
these ideals per se (except with
Pressly's limited interpretation
of faith, i.e., Christianity, and the
implication that one can only be
moral if one is religious, since
humanism "leads to the gates of
Hell"). But what I do objectto
and I trust my view is not simply
an idiosyncratic one is the
shallow manner in which these
ideals are interpreted. Too often
the goal of self - development
does not include the vital
ingredient of self - direction
(what Dr. Pressly, alas,
condemned as "selfishness ")

More often than not, what is
hailed as "contributing" to the
community is nothing more than

I Letters \

Dear Editor,

I need to know where to take,
this problem. I am a member of
several organizations on cam-
pus. The work involved is not so
burdensome that I have so much
to do. However, the meetings in-
volved do create a problem!
Some nights, I have 3 meetings
and a lecture to attend, all
scheduled at the same time. Is
there no way to alleviate this
overlap? It is certainly a great
factor in inefficiency of
organizations because members
are forced to choose each week
what meetings they will attend.
It seems as if some group, as in
S G A., could take petitions, at
the beginning of every year, for
time slots of 30 minutes each, on
various evenings, so that
everyone had a set meeting
schedule. Then perhaps we
would quit stepping in each
other's toes As it is now, it
resembles pot luck and everyone
plans events arbitrarily I think
we need some order Can
anyone HELP!

Thank You,
A tired old junior

On Tuesday, September 25,
Rep Council passed an
amendment to the constitution
of the Student Government As-
sociation of Agnes Scott
concerning the procedure by
which the Profile editor is
elected in the spring.
Traditionally, the candidates for
Profile editor either petition for
the position, or they are
nominated by students. Then the
student body elects the new
editor. The amendment passed
last week will change the
procedure so that the candidates
will be nominated by the Profile
staff, and Rep Council will
choose the new editor after
examining each candidate's
qualifications and talking to
each candidate individually. On
Tuesday, October 2, Rep Council
will lay out the specifics of the
procedure. As always, students
are invited to participate in the
discussion. Since this is an
amendment to the Student
Government constitution, it re-
quires ratification by the student
body There will be a student
body meeting in the next
couple of weeks for this
purpose. I hope that everyone

will make a special effort to
come.

Last spring, each student was
given an evaluation sheet for the
Student Health Center. Many
good, constructive criticisms
were made concerning the
Health Center, and many
students said they were pleased
with the services they have
received. There were also
students who were not satisfied
In an effort to give the students
an opportunity to ask questions
and voice their complaints, there
was a convocation on Wednes
day, September 19, which was
to be an informal session with
Dr. Spruell from the Health
Center. There were only three
students and four ad-
ministration members there.
The Health Center is trying to
communicate with the
students, but we are not help-
ing them. Rosemary also
arranged a "Fireside Chat" ses-
sion with Dr. Clark at 6:30 on
Wednesday, September 1 9. Not
a single student showed up. I do
think that in all fairness to those
people who work hard to provide
us with Health Center services,
we should not complain unless
we make an effort to voice our
complaints through the proper
channels.

designed to impress us with
what a refined, cultured and
intelligent (but not too
intelligent) creature she is. To
aspire to such an "ideal," I sub-
mit, is to worship an empty
image.

The "person of excellence" is
not, I believe, one who would
consciously strive to be such.
Instead, a person whom others
might regard as admirable, is
one who has so completely
immersed him / herself in the
cause of the advancement of
knowledge that he / she does
not feel the need to convince
either him / herself or others of
what a "complete," "whole" or
"well rounded" individual he /
she is. This ideal person will, as
naturally and unselfconsciously
as possible, develop what
talents and abilities he / she
may have without viewing the
promotion of either self or com-
munity as an end in itself. The
end, instead, is Truth (i.e. the
hypothetical unity of all true
ideas). For it is for this admittedly
vague and elusive ideal that all
intellectual disciplines exist.
And it is Truth that ultimately
gives meaning to both the life of
the individual and the com-
munity.

I may at this point be accused
of replacing one string of cliches
with another. I do not deny that
such an abstraction as "Truth"
may have a hollow ring to it. But
that is because I mean to portray

Truth as being open - ended.
There is no neat definition that
anyone can posit without
excluding ideas which may one
day prove to pass the tests of
experience and logic (by which
we decide the truth of a given
hypothesis) better than those
which we presently regard as
being fundamental truths. Truth,
as I am interpreting it, is not a
static concept, but an evolving
one whose development is
ultimately unpredictable and
thus immensely interesting The
development of Truth may also
be profoundly terrifying, for it
may turn out that there is, in fact,
no 'Truth," only fragmented,
contingent facts. The forces that
influence our lives may be purely
arbitrary. This may seem to be a
terrifying possibility, but one
with an open mind will not
preclude any possibility simply
because it may not promote
human happiness.

The ideal I am suggesting here
is, admittedly, a severe one. But
it seems to me that if one wants
an ideal toward which to strive,
one around which to center
one's life and that will provide a
foundation upon which to
construct an ethical system, one
might as well choose an ideal
that is worthy of one's time and
energy. One may very well deem
the "person of excellence" ideal
as a sufficient object of devotion.
This is a decision that each in-
dividual should make for him /
herself.

CPO Announces Extern Program

This year for the first time
Agnes Scott students will be
able to participate in a learning
experience that is more inten-
sive than the Shadow Program
but less time - consuming than
an internship The Extern
Program!

Students will spend an un-
salaried work week during
vacation with a professional in
the field of their choice. Each
sponsor will carefully structure
the week so that her extern will
get on - the - job exposure by
participating in the daily work
routine. Sponsors will attemptto
give their externs an overview of
the particular agencies in which
they work. For example, when

externing with an En-
vironmental Specialist one could
expect to spend one day
monitoring streams in the field
and the next analyzing samples
in the lab. Whenever possible,
sponsors will arrange for
students to talk with their
colleagues. In some cases
externs will be given special pro-
jects to complete. A preservation
extern, for instance, might be
asked to write a news release,
edit copy or help develop a
presentation.

The Extern Program
represents a cooperative effort
between the Alumnae As-
sociation and CPO. All of the
sponsors are either alumnae or

have been recruited by alumnae.

This year the Extern Program
will run from November 26-30
and March 1 7-21 . All
placements for November are
located in the Atlanta area.

Several Atlanta alumnae have
offered to house participants.
Externs can also make plans to
stay with Atlanta - based friends
or in the Alumnae House.

A list of placements

is

available in CPO and we expect
to continue receiving more
offers from sponsors through
October. Come by CPO or call
Libby Wood at 365 to find out
how to apply for the Extern
Program.

revised to "feed" into stations
along the rail line, providing
faster travel into and out of
downtown Atlanta. In addition,
1 1 bus routes which run into
Atlanta's central business dis-
trict will be modified, but will
continue to connect with
downtown.

The institution of the new
system marks the latest expan-
sion of MARTA's transit
network: rapid rail service,
which began June 30, was
expanded to include weekends
in early September, and
preparations have been
underway for the opening of the
West Line (from Georgie State to
Hightower Road) this December.

The conversion to the
"feeder" system will reduce bus
mileage in the East Line corridor;
this will allow the Authority to
provide service to areas
previously not served by MARTA
and to expand service in areas
which require a higher level of
service.

Between now and October 1 3,
MARTA will be conducting a
massive campaign to place
specific information in the hands
of current and potential riders in
the area affected by the
conversion. Two - hundred

thousand copiesof an "East Line
Bus Conversion Flyer" will be
distributed to patrons in the im-
pact area. Some 90,000 of the
Flyers will be distributed door -
to - door and an additional 80,-
000 will be given to patrons on
buses presently serving the
area. In addition, MARTA's Com-
munity Relations Division will
distribute the informational flyer
at a number of community
meetings during the first two
weeks in October. Copies of the
brochure will also be available at
all East Line rail stations

The week fol low i n c
conversion, new timetables will
be placed on buses serving the
east side. New timetables will
also be placed on some existing
routes before conversion, for
those routes that will continue,
with modification, after the
change - over. As of October 1 3,
patrons can pick up new
schedules at the regular
supervisor booths in the Central
Business District.

Beginning October 13,
MARTA will also expand rail
operation hours as follows:
Monday through Friday, 5:15
a.m. to 12:30 a.m.; Saturday,
5:30 a.m. to midnight; Sunday,
6:30 a.m. to midnight.

AAcGeehee Organizes Women's Exhibit .

Terry McGeehee lectures to students about their work. She is the
organizer of the upcoming Women's Art Exhibit in Dana Fine Arts
Building.

By Amy Mortensen

An invitational exhibit of
works by Atlanta women artist
opens Oct. 14 at the Dana Fine
Arts Gallery. Thirty professional
artists selected by Mr. Leland
Staven and Miss Terry
McGeehee are invited for the
first exhibit of exclusively local
women's art sponsored by
Agnes Scott College.

The college community is in-
vited for the opening reception
Oct. 14 2-5 p.m. to meet the
artists. The exhibit runs through
Nov. 14.

The exhibits purpose is to
show what women artists
concerns are in 1979 and to
expose Agnes Scott students to
the work of local women artists.
The art display coincides with
the Southeast College Art As-
sociation convention and the
Southeast Women's Caucus for
Art conference. Agnes Scotts's

Career Planners Adding Spice

By Kim Clark

There are some very exciting
things goin on in the Career
Planning Office that the Profile
though you ought to know about.
Kathy Mooney, now entering her
second year as the director of the
CPO, is very enthusiastic about
their new ideas and programs.
Ms. Mooney hopes to include
not only graduating seniors in
the CPO's activities, but also
other classes, thus making it a
four-year career planning
program.

There are two particularly
exciting changes in the CPO this
year; the first being an expan-
sion of the experiential
programs The experiential
program not only includes the
shadow program, intern
program, and cooperative
education program, but also a
new extern program, which is a
more intense version of the
shadow program.

The second change is a more
formalized network of alumna
business contacts Although in
the past there has been an
alliance of Agnes Scott
graduates to help students find
lobs, Ms Mooney hopes to
soldify and expand this career
contact network Keep up the
good work, Kathy'

Lockey McDonald, the new
CPO secretary, says that she is
enjoying her work here and has
not had a "bad" day yet. Lockey
first moved to Atlanta 11 years
ago when her husband decided
to go to Emory Law School. She
worked at one of the Emory
graduate schools where she had
many responsibilities. Lockey
participated in admission,
fellowship programs, publicity
and assisted the vice-president
in handling research grants.

After she left Emory in 1 975, she
expanded her hobby of
needlepoint and worked in a
needlecraft shop for 3 years. She
then accepted her present
position at Agnes Scott.

As a final point, Lockey said
that she found the girls at Scott
much more enjoyable and frien-
dly than when she worked at a
"well-known" men's college.
We're glad to have you with us
Lockey!

Libby Woods, the newly ap-
pointed assistant director of the
CPO is not a new face here on
the Agnes Scott campus. Priorto
this position, Libby worked in the
Admissions Office, organizing
the Student and Alumni Ad-
mission Representatives
program She also recruited
future Scotties from the Atlanta
area.

After graduating from the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hil in 1 974, Libby worked
in Colorado doing, well, just
about anything and everything
She taught skiing, waited on
tables, rented out snowmobiles,
ran a limousine service, and was
the "fun coordinator" fora lodge
in Vail From 1976 to 1978 she

worked in the CPO's at Meredith
College and North Carolina
State.

In her new position with the
CPO, Libby is responsible for
conducting interst inventories
and grganizing the shadow
program, co-op work,
internships, and externships in
conjunction with Kathy Mooney.

When asked why she entered
this field, Libby explained that in
too many cases liberal arts
graduates were not receiving
the same career opportunities as
graduates from a technical
school. It's great to have
someone as dynamic as Libby
supporting us! (PS. She also
gives tips on get-rich-quick
schemes!)

Well, girls, with such en-
couragement from the staff in
the CPO, we can truly expect a
very high percentage of Scott
women to appear in high places.
(Well you know what I mean)'

major shows held during these
conventions, and hopes to at-
tract attention towards Atlanta s
women artists and Agnes Scott
College.

The art collection uses various
materials and methods. The
planned show contains
drawings, paintings, prints,
handmade paper, pottery,
photography, fiber and concep-
tual art. Different styles are
represented, from radical to
conservative. The works show a
high level of fiminism, personal
involvement and sensitivity to
the materials used.

Miss Terry McGeehee,

organizer of the exhibit, says, "I
personally feel that this is very
strong art.

Many of the Atlanta women
artists that will be featured have
shown their work at the national
level, as well as have a local
reputation." She expects the
exhibit to have natural con-
tinuity because of the type of
artists that are chosen.

Miss McGeehee is the
founder of Atlanta Women's Art
Collective. This organization of
18 professional artists has, until
now, been responsible for all the
major exhibits in Atlanta featur-
ing women artists.

Blackfriars Present
"Trojan Women"

By Carol McCranie

It has bee quite some time
since the original version of
'Trojan Women" was put on the
Athenian Stage in 416 B.C. On
Oct. 26 and 27, and Nov. 2 and 3,
the Blackfriars, The student
theatre group will give their
version of this great anti-war
tragedy in the Winter Theatre.

The performance is scheduled
to begin at 8:15 p.m. and ad-
mission is50Cror Scott students,
$2,50 for area students and
$3.00 for the general public.

'Trojan Women" written by
the Greek dramatist Euripides, is
the story of the after effects of a
ten-year war on the town of
Troy. All of the town's men have
been killed, leaving wives and
mothers to face terrible
sufferings. The play has little ac-
tion and no real plot. What is
seen and heard are the figures of
pitiful women and voices of
sorrow and pain, a devastating
picture of the evils of war.

Characters in "Trojan
Women" are Poseidon, played
by Tom Diddle; Hecuba, the wife
of the Trojan ruler Priam, play by

Carol Tveitt, and Ann Harris as
Andromache, Hector's wife. Ac
tresses Maggie Evans, Liz Steel,
and Jennifer Knight play Casan
dra, Helen, and Athena, respec
tively. Talthybius isuplayed by
Edward Woddham and R A
Screiber will protray Menelaus
The chorus consists of Dottie En-
slow, Marietta Townsend, Chris-
tine Silvia, Carol Gorgus, Sarah
Burleigh, Kenslea Motter.
Melanie Merifield, and Patti
Higgins

Dr. John W. Toth, Director of
"Trojan Women" feels the play
will interest students of Agnes
Scott, one reason being that the
characters are principally
women who share common
thoughts and emotions. Another
reason is that because the play is
classical and its contents "fit
into so many disciplines."

Give Blackfriars a head start
on production by purchasing
season tickets for $4.00 for area
students, $5.00 for the general
public. Season tickets are
available at the Dana Fine Arts
box office.

McNair: Keeper Of A Legacy

By Laurie McBrayer

After days and nights of coun-
tless orientation meetings,
freshmen may feel that they
know everything possible about
Agnes Scott. However, it is
unlikely that anyone on campus
known more about the College
than Dr. W. Edward McNair, who
is currently working on Agnes
Scott's first comprehensive his-
tory

Dr McNair is a former as-
sociate professor of English and
administrator of the College. He
has not yet released the title of
the history, but one might refer
to it as, "Everything You Always
Wanted to Know about Agnes
Scott, but were Afraid to Ask."
The book will cover the years
from 1889 to 1977, the year of
Dr McNair's retirement

Three brief profiles have been
written about Agnes Scott in the

phlet described the years from

"Beer Bust"

By Julie Babb

Every fall, the Helen, Georgia
Chamber of Commerce sponsors
\ a month long Oktoberfest. The
event is fashioned after the Ok-
toberfest in Germany, an annual
beer tasting event similar to an
American fair or festival.

The festival began six years
ago and has been expansing
every year. According to the
Helen Chamber of Commerce,
approximately 50,000 people
attended last year's Oktoberfest.

Th is year, the Oktoberfest will
run from September 7 until Oc-
tober 7. It is open on Fridays from
5-1 1 p.m. and on Saturdays and
Sundays from noon until 1 1 p.m.

There are craft exhibits, clogging
and square dancing, hot air
ballooning, blue-grass bands,
soccer games and a Bavarian
village complete with shops and
restaurants, as well as several
contests including horn blowin
and polka dancing. The singers,
dancers and visitors often dress
in Lederhosen and Dirndyls,
traditional German costumes.
Everyone enjoys the German
sausages, sauerkraut, strudel
and, of course, imported
German beer.

If you want to go, take I-85
north to Gainesville, Georgia, 1 1
to Clearmont, U.S. 129 to
Cleveland and Georgia 356 into
Helen. The trip is about 90 miles.

"The Story of Agnes Scott
College." The first one was in
commemoration of the College's
fiftiety anniversary in 1 949, and
the second one covered the
years between 1949 and 1955

Dr McNair has divided the
history he is writing into two
parts. Par One, the Narrative
section, describes the college
chronologically, in five chapters.
The first chapter, titled "Begin-
nings'' discusses the
transformation of Decatur
Female Seminary to Agnes Scott
Institute toAgnes Scott College.
"Stability and Status," the
second chapter, describes the
Gaines administration (1906-
1923). The third chapter, "The
McCain Era" concerns the
events during Prsident McCain's
administration from 1 923-1 951 .
Dr. McNair is currently working
on the fourth chapter, titled
"Girding for Greatness". He
said, "I am well into President

Alston's administration and I
hope to finish this chapter by

plans to title the fifth chapter
"Toward a New Century," which
will concern President Perry's
administration. (Agnes Scott will
mark its centennial in 1989.)

Part Two of the history will
contain three sections. The first
two sections: "Traditions and
Observances" and "A Noble
Company" will include informal
anecdotes and vignettes about
former faculty members. The
third section will be a complete
list of the administrators,
faculty, and trustees of the
College. The book will also in-
clude pictures. Dr. McNair
commented, "I think about the
history constantly."

Although Dr. McNair has set a
dealine for the completion of the
fourth chapter, he has not set
one for the conclusion of the
book. As he explained, "The pro-

Dr. Marvin B. Perry Jr.,
president of Agnes Scott
College, was one of the 73
women's college presidents
who met with newly-appointed
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Patricia Roberts
Harris and other top HEW
officials in Washington on Sept.
18.

Agnes Scott Trustee and
alumna Harriet M. King,
associate professor of law at
Emory University, attended the
conference with Dr. Perry.

The meeting was planned by
HEW with the Women's College
Coalition, a national association
of which Dr. Perry is a member.

The focus of the meeting was
to explore the current role of the
country's single-sex institutions
for women in meeting national
goa Is for educational equality for
women .

The presidents and trustees
brought to the attention of the
federal government, through
Secretary Harris, the
contributions of American
women's colleges.

Though small in number, the
single-sex institutions for
women have been leaders in
education and have shown
much concern for the needs of
minorities. Also, enrollment has
risen for women's colleges,
whereas enrollment has

Public Relations Receives National Awards

by Laurie McBrayer
and Ann Myre

The Public Relations
Department has received eight
National Case Awards this year
for its publications. The
Recognition '79 awards were
presented by the Council for
advancement and support of
education and for excellence in
programs and communications.

According to Sara Fountain,
public relations director, the
department focuses on two main
areas: student recruitment and
events promotion. Miss
Fountain, who has a background
in marketing and advertising,
came to Agnes Scott in 1 977. "I
believe in Agnes Scott and one
must believe in the product
before selling it," said Miss
Fountain.

"I feel that everything Agnes
Scott puts before the public
should reflect the institution and
it's values," she said. With this
reasoning, Miss Fountain began

changing the format of the
public relations publications.

She explained that Agnes
Scott spends a great amount of
money for outside speakers and
groups, for the enrichment of the
students and for the benefit of
the public. Thus, the department
revised the events calendar,
which previously was in the
form of a small brown and white
folder. The new arts calendar is
silver and black and is published
twice yearly. The still life
photograph of ballet slippers,
clarinet, sheet music and
paintbrushes was also used in
an ad for Agnes Scott arts events
in the Atlanta Magazine. Since
the distribution of this
publication, attendance at
events has increased and 100
names have been added to the
mailing list. "We make a close,
conscientious effort to reflect
the institution in what we feel is
a proper manner," she

commented.

Previous student recruitment
materia I emphasized that Agnes
Scott is a liberal arts college for
women. "Most students come
despite the fact that it it a
woman's college. We chose to
emphasize the close teacher-
student relationship and the
academic reputation of the
school. Agnes Scott is
considered a tough school to get
in and to stay in."

Some of the new products ol
the public relations office
includethe illustrated mapof the
campus and the stationery ol
Mrs. Judith Tindel, director of
admissions.

Agnes Scott competed against
major colleges and universities
throughout the country. Miss
Fountain commented, 'The
nicest thing was that we
received more awards than any
other women's college."

institutions.

Secretary Harris assured the
presidents of the colleges that
they will get more federal funds
and more voice in policy
decision. She promised that a
larger number of the women's
college presidents would be
appointed the HEW advisory
committees. She also said that

she would select special
representative to serve as her
liason to women's colleges.

Dr. Perry commented that
Secretary Harris was "top-
notch." He also added, "I was
delighted with the friendly
reception extended by Secretary
Harris. Her graciousness and
concerned attitude were very
encouraging."

Wilson's Loss is
Agnes Scott's Gain

by Colleen Flaxington

Transfer students Jacque
Foust and Christina Lawes,
juniors this year at Agnes Scott,
had an unusual reason for
transferring here from their
former school, Wilson College, in

Chambersburg, Pa. Wilson, a
small liberal arts college for
women, with an honor system
and curriculum much like thatof
Scott, was to have been closed at
the end of the '79 school year.

Decreasing enrollment and
near bankruptcy were major
factors influencing the Board of
Trustees Feb. 1 9 announcement
of Wilson's closure. These
problems were caused by a
confused and poorly run
administration and a president
whom the judge of the
subsequent court case declared
grossly abused her power and
authority. This news forced
students and teachers to
immediately seek new schools
and positions.

Dedicated alumnae sued the
Board for implementing the
institution's closing before
having secured the proper
documents. This is a violation of
a Pennsylvania state law
concerning charitable

organizations. Thus followed a
law su it in which Judge John W.
Keller decided, two days before
the end of school, that court
approval must be obtained
before a college can be closed.

Wilson students felt that some
Board members actually
believed there was no future for
a women's college. Board
members and the faculty forcibly
contradicted this belief as they
strove to transfer to other,
similar women's colleges.

The two girls agreed that an
important defference between
Wilson and Scott lies in the
attitudes of the Admissions
Offices. "Judy Tindell was
priceless," said Jacque, when
describing the help she and
Christina received with their
transfers. "Wilson's Admissions
Office took three months to
answer a prospective student's
enquiry."

The girls also commented
favorably on the fact that Agnes
Scott's President Perry is often
seen talking to students, and is
dedicated to planning ahead for
Scott whereas Wilson President
Dr. Margaret Wagonner had
difficulties relating to staff and
students. At Wilson, a long-
range planning committee was
non-existent.

It's Not All InATitle

Extreme appreciation should
go out to the mystery 'equal
rightist' who submitted the
"Sexism At ASC" to The Profile.
An astute observer caught our
carelessness and submitted the
offending columns to the
newspaper staff, circling the
different Ms. /Miss/ Mrs. /Dr. 's
and indicating that all of these
people have their Ph.D.

First, our apologies to the
professors mentioned in these
articles. Aslo, apologies to those
professors, students, etc. . ., if
any, who were offended.

Secondly, our excuses are
offered. The error, and it was an
error, usually results from the
fact that several different people
read copy and thus,
inconsistancies can, and do,
occur. Meeting dealines often
means that even the editor
misses these fine points. But the
fact that someone though
enough to drop a line to the staff
indicates that the subject of
'titles' is a potentially
controversial one, and needs to
be addressed.

It is hoped that in a community

like Agnes bcott, sucn trivialities
might be overlooked as a "force
of habit". When a professor
introduces him/her (or

her/him) self as Dr , a

student tends to take the hint
and call the teacher as
instructed. It is evident that
some people feel that professors
are viewed differently according
to how they are addressed. This,
then, seems to suggest that a
title can do many things. It
suggests that title can create a
rapport, create fear, create
respect or create casual

relationship. Titles, then, can
control. Some professors even
insist on addressing students as
Miss/Mrs. /Ms. This can create
an atmosphere of formality.

To complicate the issue, the
mistakes in the paper happened
to be divided by sex. There
seems to be a distinct sign of
insecurity to feel that any blast
on women was intended.

Hopefully all professors, ana
students as well, want to prove
themselves beyond a title.
Rather, proof of excellence must
come through action; through
using the education obtained
while earning the sacred title.

But, to clarify the entire
situation from the Profile
perspective, we definitely

Letters

Dear Agnes Scott Students:
Thank you for coming to the
rescue! At the recent Honors
Day Convocation, your
spontaneous singing at the time
of the recession filled a
conspicuous void. It was
splendid evidence of the spirit of
unity and cooperation that we
appreciate at Agnes Scott.

goofed. To be consistent in the
future, and so everyone will
know why we address certain
people as we do, the Stylebook
will be followed. It states:

Use Mr., Mrs. or Miss. The
full name should be used for
the first reference in a news
story.

Use Mr., Mrs. or Miss for
further references. Dr. should
be used only for president,
speakers, as a title of respect
for older professors, or for
medical doctors."

This is to be our policy and the
staff feels that it is the most
efficient way to handle the
problem. As for titles, they are
really somewhat overrated. It's
all in the performance, and the
person.

Sincerely,

Marvin B. Perry, President

Education Welcomes David Martin

Mr. Martin is optimistic about the future of teaching and
encourages students' questions about career opportunities in
education.

by Claire Peluso

The Education Department is
in the process of expanding its
program. They are concerned
"because the enrollment in
education has declined, in part
because of fears that there was a
teacher surplus. . .there is in
actuality a projected teacher
shortage of eight thousand over
the next couple of years." To
help them with their task they
have brought in, on a part time
basis, the extremely qualified
Mr. David Martin. Mr. Martin
has obtained degrees from
Westmor College in history,
political science and economics.
He has a Iso received a M .A. from
Purdue University. He has
procured a specialist degree at
Georgia State and is currently
working on his doctorate there.

No Dates And . . .

A Mile In Seven Minutes

by Kim Clark

She attended the Naval
Academy for two years. She was
on the sailing team at the
Academy when they won the
Women's National in 1 979. She
is now a junior here at Agnes
Scott. She is Valerie Kaye.

The most obvious question in
your mind might be "Whatwas it
like being in the second class of
women to enter the Naval
Academy?" Valerie is only too
ready to answer. The social and
physical regulations were
definitely somewhat tougher.
For the entire plebe year, you are
not allowed to date except to
formals. And by all means, you
cannot fraternize with
upperclassmen. Drinking is not
allowed the freshman year.
Valerie does not want to give
anyone the idea that she felt
incarcerated. There are ways to
get around the social 'stigma'
attached to plebes.

Physical standards were very

important. In order to get even a
'D' in physical education, one
had to be able to run a mile in 7
minutes and 30 seconds; to get
an 'A' the time had to be 6
minutes and 15 seconds. If five
demerits were accumulated,
one had to march for an hour in
full uniform complete with a ten
pound gun.

One of Valerie's most
enjoyable outlets was the co-ed
sailing team. Valerie earned her
varsity letter her sophomore
year. Being on the team allowed
her many opportunities to travel
to such places as Yale and the
University of California-
Berkeley.

She wasone of fourgirls living
in THE dormitory, with 1 50 men
on her floor alone. Each room
was equipped with its own
facilities though, so that the
dorm was not totally co-ed.

Why did Valerie decide to
come to Agnes Scott? Valerie
explained that Agnes Scott had

been her first choice (she had
even pa id her room deposit) until
she was notified that she had
been accepted at the Academy.
The challenge, the honor, the
opportunity to travel, and the
totally free education combined
to make a very strong offer.

So why did Valerie leave a
place that offered a 21:1
male/ female ratio? Valerie said
that atthe Naval Academy, "you
had to be totally dedicated to the
idea of a career in order to
sacrifice your femininity to it."
She further explained, "Iwanted
to be from the military academy,
but military life never became a
part of me."

Apparently Valerie feels that
she has made the right choice.
That Southern hospitality has
really made her feel right at
home. And we all want to hear
more about how you "beat the
system".

experience he has practical
experience. He taught at a
secondary school and is
currently and associate director
on the Georgia Council on
Economic Education. This has
given him rare insights into the
problems in school systems
throughout the state, and he will
try to bring this information to
Agnes Scott.

For Dining Out

Mr. Martin has found Scott
students to be "intellectually
superior and in addition to that
highly motivated." He has
issued an open invitation to all
students who have not made
career commitments "to come
up and visit us and talk aboutthe
opportunities in education, and
if we don't have answers to your
questions we'll get 'em!"

It's The Katz Meow

by Joanna Splawn

Afterfour weeks of school and
what probably seems like an
endless number of meals at the
Letitia Pate dining hall, you are
probably ready to venture out
and find a new place to eat. If you
are looking for a place that has a
comfortable atmosphere, where
the food is reasonably priced,
dress is casual, the location is
convenient and the menu offers
imaginative and appealing
sandwiches, salads, soups, and
DESSERTS look for KATZ'S.
No, KATZ'S is not a new
collegiate slang word it is a
delicatessen located at 2205
Chesire Bridge Road in Atlanta.
At Katz's you can definitely get a
delicious meal at a reasonable
price, but please be forewarned
that if you are one of those
people whofeels obligated
to clean your plate, you may be in
for a marathon meal or a severe
case of the "stuffies"!

Katz's is an informal
delicatessen that serves
breakfast, lunch, and dinner at
prices ranging from $1.75 to
4.50. Just to give you some idea
of what the menu features, here
are some of the categories to
choose from: Fruits and Juices,
Appetizers, Salads and Cold
Plates, Dairy Dishes,
Sandwiches, Eggs and
Omelettes, Toast and Cereals,
and Desserts. The things I just
listed only scrape the surface
because each category lists
some twenty-odd imaginative
combinations and more. Some

Atlanta Alumnae Get Act Together

The Young Atlanta Agnes
Scott Almunae Club held its first
program of the year September
1 1 at 8:00 in Rich's Department
Store at Lenox Square Mall.
Melissa Holt Vandiver '73,
fash ion consultant, spoke on the
topic "How to Dress for Yourself,
Your Job, and Your Budget." In

her talk, Mrs. Vandiver
emphasized a polished, refined
look in clothes with a minimum
number of accessories. Mrs.
Va nd iver a Iso discussed pla nned
shopping, mixing and matching
of clothes in a wardrobe, and this
year's popular colors and
jewelry accessories. Mrs.
Vandiver worked in the Agnes

Scott Admissions Office for
three years before entering the

The next program of the Young

Club will be held October 1 1 at
8:00 p.m. in the Kaleidoscope
Room at Neiman Marcus in
Phipps Plaza. The speaker will be

Candace Hodges Bell '68,

Company Bank in Atlanta. The
topic of her talk will be
"Financial Planning for Yourself
as a Woman." Agnes Scott
seniors are invited to all
programs of the Young Atlanta
Agnes Scott Alumnae Club.

of Katz's basic menu items are
bowls of fresh fruit, garden
salad, shrimp salad, a diet bowl

(this is for anyone who has
been eating 3 meals a day at
Scott with a trip to the ice cream
freezer, having popcorn as a late
night study snack, and making
occasional midnight runs to
Krispy Kreme) , Steak Sandwich
with grilled onions and fries,
Turkey and Ham with Swiss
Cheese, and Cheese Omelette

to mention only a few. But for
those of you who like to be
adventurous when eating out
and who have a reasonably
strong stomach, how does Nova
Scotia Salmon and Cream
Cheese sound or maybe
potato pancakes with
applesauce. To be even more
adventurous maybe you could
try a Roumanian Pastrami
Platter (includes potato

salad and rye bread) or a Katz's
Famous Reuben grilled with
corned beef, kraut, swiss
cheese, russian dressing and
served on oven fresh rye bread.

Everyone should consider
eating at Katz's because their
menu is sure to offer something
that even

to eat at Katz's, I recommend
that you try their cabbage soup,
and definitely don't leave until
you have had a piece of their
strawberry cheesecake. Of
course, if you're like me, you
may find it hard to get past the
pastry counter to be seated
but make a concentrated effort
and save the cheesecake for
dessert!

The Academy Theatre of
Atlanta will present Harold
Pinter's masterpiece of
suspense, "The Caretaker,"
Saturday, Oct. 13, at Agnes
Scott College for one
performance only. Curtain will
be at 8:1 5 p.m. in Agnes Scott's
Presser Hall. Tickets will be
$2.00 and will be sold only atthe
door.

This single performance by
the nationally acclaimed
Academy Theatre is sponsored
by Agnes Scott College with
assistance from the Georgia
Council for the Arts and the
National Endowment for the
Arts.

'The Caretaker," a sensation
in England and the United
States,won the best-play award
from the London Drama Critic's
Circle and garnered the
Newspaper Guild's Page One
Award after a successful
opening on Broadway. It firmly
established Harold Pinter as one
of the foremost writers of
realistic, contemporary theatre.

The Academy Theatre cast for
the 'The Caretaker" includes
professional company members
Chris Curran, John Ferguson
and Tom Hammond. Directing
the production is founder and
artistic director of the Academy,

Frank Wittow, who is renowned
for his interpretation and
direction of Pinter's plays.

In 'The Caretaker," Pinter
masterfully combines an
atmosphere of suspense with
hilarious comedy to produce
highly entertaining theatre. As
the plot unfolds, the audience is
presented with a spellbinding
closeup of three inscrutable, yet
intriguing, characters who are
as comic as they are
heartbreaking, asforeign asthey
are inherently familiar.

Pinter's genius in the use of
language and the dramatic
imagery created in his plays was
commented on by Wittow: "In
the very beginning of the play,
Pinter creates an atmosphere of
suspense without using a word
of dialogue. Something strange
and ominous happens; it is
inexplicable and I found the
effect stunning. From that
moment forward, I found the
haunting beauty of this brilliant
tapestry of human behavior
thoroughly captivating."

Critics around the world have
lauded Pinter's genius at
playwrighting. Noted critic
Walter Kerr of the New York
Herald Tribune said "The
Caretaker",". must be
regarded as perfect, given its
particular insight."

Photographer Meredith Manning visited practice of the Studio Dance
Theatre, only to capture the hard working spirit of the group. Studio Dance

Theatre has several new members, and they all have big plans forthe year.

Larson Lauds "You Would If You Loved Me"

by Laramie Larsen

Dr Gordon, a Professor of
Child and Family Studies at
Syracuse University, has
compiled a collection of sex lines
used by males and females. It
naturally makes for humorous
reading, but more importantly it
makes the reader think about
lines he or she had heard Dr.
Gordon's point in writing this
unusual book is to make young
people aware of lines for what
they are. He makes the point that

both men and women use lines,
but that women are the ones
who actually bear the brum of
unwanted pregnancies which
may occur as the result of a
successful line.

The lines are divided into
several categories: (Nice) Try
Lines, Religious Lines, Fishing
Lines, Scout Lines, Almost
Convincing Lines and many
others. Dr. Gordon also suggests

replies, some of which are
classic.

Male: Do you play games?
Female: Let's play house and
you're home alone.

He (stroking female's arm
languidly): These are only
wh ispers . I know how to shout at

you.

She: So shut-up already.

He (at a drive-in movie):

Would you like to get in the back
seat?

She: No, I'd rather sit up here
with you.

The important thing,
according to Dr. Gordon, is to be
able to recognize a line when
faced with one, in order to know
what one is getting into. Dr.
Gordon passes no moral
judgments, he simply offers a

few guidelines on analysing a
relationship by means of
interpreting the lines used. The
hundreds of lines given in the
book are sometimes funny,
sometimes familiar, and
sometimes touching (these arc.
the ones he warns against).

The book is on reserve in the
library and can also be read in
the Student Health Center

Georgia State Invitational
Features Cross-Country Team

Lynn Stonecypher

Have you ever run just for the
leasure of running, not
lowing what will lie over the
next hill or beyond the next
bend? Agnes Scott's cross-

country team ran on unfamiliar
terrain jumping over mud
puddles and logs this past
weekend at the Georgia State
University Invitational Track
Meet. Five other women's teams

Flag Football is a new
interdorm sport, although dorms
m ight have to merge to form one
team, says Sally Harris,
president of the Athletic
Association. Nevertheless, Sally
hopes enough people will join
their respective dorm teams, to
increase competition.

Flag Football is played every
Sunday at 2 p.m.

The objective of flag football is
to take the flag from the
opponent, who has the flag stuck
onto a belt. The game then
continues in the same manner
as tackle football.

For anyone interested in
participating "just go down to
the hockey field on Sunday and
you will be assigned totheteam.
There is plenty room for
newcomers", says Sally. "I

would like to see a lot of
participation. It's new and
hopefully people will find it
enjoyable."

from three different states
participated.

This race was quite a learning
experience for all concerned as
most of us had never run in a
race before. Our coach, Mr. Bob
Leslie, gave us some good
strategy to use when trying to
pace ourselves and lent us some
much needed support.

Allice Todd was the star of the
team finishing first for Agnes
Scott. The other members of the
team who ran were: Nancy
Blake, Mona Mendoza, Karen
Ramsbottom, Joanna Splawn,
and Lynn Stonecypher.

Dorms Elect Rep. Members

by Elisabeth Smith

The new dorm representatives
to Rep Council were recently
elected. They are Laura Klettnes
- Rebekah, Susie Ham - Main,
Sue Connor - Inman, Lecie Wes-
ton - Walters, Meg Miller - Win-
ship, and Marjorie Sivewright -
Hopkins.

These dorm reps have specific
duties to fulfil. Their primary
function is to keep in touch with
the people in their dorms. The
reps are elected to the council to

make certain that every student
has access to a Rep Council
member. The dorm reps are sup-
posed to find out how students in
their dorms feel about issues
brought before the council. They
should try to learn the students'
needs and also keep the dorms
informed about business of the
Council, according to Kemper
Hatfield, S.G.A. President. They
may also have occasion to post
important notices in the dorms
and act as a liason between
dorm and Rep.

Galaxies Here to Stay7\ 'The
Origin and Abundances of the
Chemical Elements," and "Cos-
mology: Man's Place in the
Universe."

She has contributed papers at
conferences sponsored by most
of the societies to which she
belongs, including the American
Astronomical Society, the
International Society on General
Relativity and Gravitation, the
International Astronomical
Union and the European
Physical Society. She has also
delivered invited review papers
on galactic structure and
gravitational radiation to
symposia sponsored by the
International Astronomical
Union and Conseil National de
Recherches Scientifiques.

In addition to speaking to
professional societies, she has

the California Institute of
Technology, Princeton
University, the University of
California, Los Angeles and the
U.S. Naval Observatory. She has
given more than 100 popular
talks at smaller colleges and in-
dustrial research laboratories in
the U. S. and Canada.

She earned her B.A. degree,
Ph i Beta Kappa, at the University
of California, Los Angeles, her
M.S. and Ph.D. at the California

Agnes Scott Offers
New Scholarships

Superior high school students
nationwide are invited to
compete for ten new $10,000
Honor Scholarships offered by
Agnes Scott College.

Each Agnes Scott Honor
Scholar will be awarded $2,500
her freshman year. If she con-
tinues to qualify for the
scholarship, she will receive
$2,500 each year during her
four years of college and thus
receive a total scholarship of
$10,000.

Agnes Scott offers the
bachelor of arts degree in 21
areas ranging from art to physics
- astronomy with special
programs in business,
engineering, languages and Air
Force and Navy ROTC.

The Agnes Scott Honor
Scholarships are based solely on
superior academic and
leadership achievement rather
than on financial need.
However, any Honor Scholar
with financial need beyond the
amount of her scholarship will
receive full financial aid through
Agnes Scott's regular Financial
Aid Program.

Freshmen will be awarded
Honor Scholarships on the basis

of superior secondary school
records, Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) scores of at least 600
on each section and evidence of
leadership qualities.

The deadline for applying for
the Honor Scholars Program for
the 1980-81 academic year is
January 1, 1980. By January 1
each applicant must have sub-
mitted her application for ad-
mission to Agnes Scott, required
SAT scores and other supporting
credentials. Thus, interested
students who have not yet taken
the test should plan to take the
SAT examination at the earliest
possible fall date, Nov. 3, 1 979.

Honor Scholars will be chosen
through a national selection
process. Three regional alum-
nae committees will screen the
applicants, and 35 finalists from
the three regions will be invited
to spend a weekend on the
Agnes Scott campus at the
college's expense. During that
weekend the Honor Scholars
Program Committee will
interview the finalists and select
the Honor Scholars.

For further information about
the Honor Scholars Program,
write Judith M. Tindel, Director
of Admissions.

On Tuesday, October 9,
Rep Council amended the
SGA Constitution so that the
Profile editor would not be
elected by the student body,
but rather by Rep Council.
The procedure, if passed by
the student body, will be as
follows:

1 . The election will be held
at the last Rep Council meet-
ing of winter quarter.

2. Rep Council will hear the
speeches of the nominees,
after which the candidates
will be required to leave.

3. A closed discussion
between Rep Council and the
outgoing editor will follow.

4. Rep Council will then
vote by secret ballot.

Rep Council has spent
many long meetings dis-
cussing the advantages and
disadvantages of changing
the present election
procedure. Sharon Maitland
and some of her staff
members have generously
given advice and time in help-
ing draw up new ideas. Now
it's time for your input; since
this is an amendment to the
SGA Constitution, it must be
ratified by the student body.
There will be a student body
meeting at 6:30 on Tuesday,
October 1 6 in Maclean, and if
everyone will be right on time

we can take of business and
be back to the books (or back
to playing) in about 30
minutes. We must have a
quorum before we can begin,
so please be considerate by
being on time! Please
remember, this is your
chance to speak up. We cfin-
not be sympathetic to (he
complaints of those people
who make no effort to come to
the student body meeting and
voice them.

I will be more than happy to
discuss the amendment or
the procedure of amending
the constitution with anyone
who has questions. I love
your questions and
comments because they
show me that you are
inte rested.

This amendment concerns
every member of the student
body, so please, do your duty
as a student; discuss the
amendment with a Rep Coun-
cil member or with each
other, and come to the
student body meeting Tues-
day on time.

Thanks to every student for
making Black Cat wonderful
this year. The juniors deserve
special recognition for their
great production. I think we
can all look on'this Black Cat
with fond memories!

Have a grand week!

Lecture Committee Brings
Enrichment to Campus

Agnes Scott's aim as a college
is to cultivate a student's
intellect by introducing her to a
variety of enriching experiences.
The Lecture Committee, as well,
shares this responsibility,
presenting diverse programs to
reach the entire campus com-
munity. To provide students with
these kinds of opportunities,
four major events have been
scheduled for the Fall quarter.

To get the quarter off to an
auspicious start, the Warsaw
Mime Theatre, on tour in the
United States from Poland,
travelled to Georgia to give one
performance. Agnes Scott had
the privilege of hosting this
exciting event. The Warsaw
Theatre, acclaimed as the
world's finest mime company, is
renowned for its masterful artis-
try

The Atlanta Academy Theatre
came to the campus Saturday,
October 13 to present Harold
Pinter's The Caretaker. The play
has achieved widespread
popularity, and the New York
Times reviewed it as, "A play of
strangely compelling beauty and
passion; it will tease and cling to
the mind."

On Monday, October 1 5, the
Academy Theatre will return to
the campus to perform Families

in an afternoon showing. This
entertaining play employs the
use of improvisational techni-
ques to illustrate family themes
and situations. The Academy
Theatre plans to spend the entire
day at Agnes Scott with a
workshop at 2:10 p.m. for Mr.
Brooking 's drama classes, the
performance from 4 p.m. till 5
p.m., and a workshop open to all
students from 5 p.m. until 6 p.m.
Come out and learn or merely
come out and enjoy, either way
the Atlanta Academy Theatre
has much to offer to everyone.

On Tuesday, October 16, Lec-
ture Committee is proud to
present the Guarner String
Quartet once again to the cam-
pus community. No one should
miss the masterful performance
of Arnold Steinhardt and John
Dalley, violins; Michael Tree,
viola; and David Soyer, cello. The
Quartet has been sold out
throughout its tour of the United
States, yet as in the past, ad-
mission will be free for all
students and faculty. The
performance at 8:15 p.m. in
Presser Hall will truly be an un-
precedented event of mastery
and skill.

To conclude the quarter's ac-
tivities, Dr. Carl Djerassi, Profes-

sor of Chemistry at Stanford
University, will give a lecture en-
titled, The Politics of Birth Con-
trol." Dr. Djerassi has received
numerous awards for his
development of the birth control
pill. His lecture will be in-
formative as well as interesting,
and all should plan to attend. As
always, the lecture will be held
at 8:15 in Presser Hall.

Lecture Committee has been
hard at work this quarter under
the leadership of Mrs. Woods
and student chairman, Mary
Ann Hill. Faculty members on
the committee include. Mr.
Barton, Mr. Bicknese, Mrs.
Cardin, Mr. Martin, and Mrs.
Zenn. Students on the com-
mittee include: Nancy Brock,
Burlette Carter, Becky Durie,
Susan Nichol, and Martha Shep-
pard. It is the committee's hope
that the Agnes Scott community
will sponsor, as well as enjoy the
events scheduled for the
quarter. All activities are
planned with you, the student, in
mind So everyone put down
your books for awhile and treat
yourself to an evening of
entertainment and education.

Many Agnes Scott alumnae attended the Workshop held Oct. 5-6. Here the alums get reac-
quainted on the Rebekah collanade. Many alumnae attended the Black Cat production and
dance over the eventful weekend.

Ends Alliance Stay

"Vanities" - A Graduation Story For Everyone

by Mary Beth Hebert

Jack Heifner's Vanities
should be required for every
woman's graduation from
college. The play, which com-
pleted a six day engagement at
the Alliance last week, traces
the lives of three girls from ages
18 through 28.

The play opens with
cheerleader practice during

Joanne's, Kathy's and Mary's
senior year of high school
(1 963). They are as
homogeneous as all high school
cheerleaders, their hair styles
being the best way to differen-
tiate them.

Act two finds the three in
college (1968), about to enter
their final semester. Different
personalities, only hinted at four
years earlier, have emerged.

One realizes as Mary plans their
after - college - every - Wednes-
day get-togethers that these
girls (women?) no longer have
enough in common on which to
base a continuing relationship.

In act three (1 974), three dis-
tinct and diverse women find
themselves at a six year reunion
with two strangers. They try to
make it seem like old times, but
fail miserably. They are con-

fronted with the realization that
they hardly even like each other
anymore.

Vanities is a play about
growth and change and
friendships. It is about the
inevitable "growing apart" as
people mature. Though the
characters are extreme
stereotypes, they seem very real.
They touch their audience (at
least the female portion) deeply.

/ /

Birds Of A Feather" Flock Together?

One cannot help but identify
with aspects of each girl's
dreams, fears and ideals. It is dif-
ficult to believe so insightful a
play was written by a man.

Although Vanities' run at the
Alliance has ended, companies
of this well-received play are
touring throughout the United
States and one will probably be
in Atlanta soon. Bring your
mother. It'sfunnyand sad and so
depressing it hurts. See it!

by Laramie Larsen

I love to see a movie that
makes me laugh out loud; one
that is unselfconscious enough
to make the audience relax. "La
Cage Aux Folles is this kind of
film and I loved every minute of
it. The film is by Edouard
Molinaro and is based on the
play by Jean Poiret, and features
Ugo Tognazzi and Michel
Serrault. Although the dialogue
is in French, the subtitles are
surprisingly adequate and
readable. (It really drives me

crazy to have white subtitles pro-
jected onto a white background).

The plot is inventive, to say the
least. Renato, the owner of a
transvestite nightclub in St.
Tropez, lives with Albin, the
homosexual star of the transves-
tite revue. Renato'sson, Laurent
(who came along as the result of
a brief heterosexual affair)
comes home from college with
the announcement that he is
engaged to be married.
Naturally, Renato and Albin are
disgusted but go along with

Laurent's wishes. As one might
expect, the bride, Andrea, and
her parents cometoSt.Tropezto
meet Laurent's family, thinking
Laurent's father is in the Italian
diplomatic service. Wrongo.The
movie deals mostly with
Laurent's efforts to persuade
"Auntie" Albin to be less
blatant, or even better, to go
away for a few days.

Of course there are several
hilarious complications. An-
drea's father is in the French
cabinet, the Director of the

Union for Moral Order. Need I
say more? To make things worse
for Andrea's father on the day of
the visit, the President is found
dead in the arms of a prostitute,
a prostitute who is black and
under age, no less. Things look
grim for the Union of Moral
Order.

With a story line such as this,
there are bound to be some
hilarious scenes. The dinner
scene between the future in-
laws, with Albin in drag posing
as Laurent's mother, and An-

"Eyre" To Air In Thursday Night Film Series

by Kathy Helgesen

"Jane Eyre," the fourt film in
the Agnes Scott fall film series,
will be shown THURSDAY, Oc-
tober 18 at 7:00 p.m.

The film, released in 1944, is
the story of a young girl who,
knowing herself to be plain and
poor, is in love with her em-

ployer, a man vastly superior to
her both in wealth and station.
Yet he, in turn, is to gradually
discover her qualities of
directness, honesty and
naturalness which set her apart
from any other woman he may
have known.

"Jane Eyre" has been des-
cribed as "a romantic horror

tale" by Bosley Crowther, "a
Hollywood classic" by
knowledgeable people around
campus, and "my FAVORITE
movie" by many students. I stars
Joan Fontaine and Orson
Welles, and if you pay attention
you'll see Margaret O'Brien,
Peggy Ann Garner, Agnes
Moorehead, Henry Daniel, and

silent star Mae Marsh in bit
parts. And, if you are into trivia,
here are some more fun facts:
Aldous Huxley wrote the screen-
play, and "Jane Eyre" had its
world premiere as the Valen-
tine's Day show at Radio City
Music Hall. Orson Welles and
fifty Rockettes?

drea's father tyring to focus on
the debauched scene on the
dinner plates ("What are those
Greeks doing? They are boys,
aren't they?") is classic farce.
There is also a brilliant scene in a
cafe when Renato and Albin
attempt to teach each other to

behave like men, an attitude
wh ich is foreign to both of them.
Even the butler Jacob, in hot
pants, bare feet and lipstick, is
consistently funny.

Believe it or not from what I
have said, the farce is tastefully
done. There is not one scene that
merits the "R" rating this movie
received, although the subject
matter is a touchy one. The film
never resorts to slapstick or low-
humour. Leave it tothe French to
handle this topic with such sub-
tlety and sensitivity. "La Cage
Aux Folles" is a delight, the sort
of film you keep thinking of and
laughing over long after you

Bowling Receives Grant For Equipment

by Pam Mynatt

Mr. Arthur Q. Bowling,
Chairman of the Department of
Physics and Astronomy, recently
received a grant from the
National Science Foundation. It
is from the Instructional Scien-
tific Equipment Program, one of
the Foundation's various
programs. The grant, to be mat-
ched by the college, is for
purchasing equipment that is to
be used in physics (as well as in
other courses).

Mr. Bowling said that the
Foundation did not explain why
Agnes Scott's application was
chosen. However, he stressed
two points on the application. He
explained (1) the versatility of
the equipment to be purchased
and (2) that this is a women's
college with a good reputation.

The equipment will be used in
'introductory physics and in
upper level courses. A variety of
other biology and chemistry

classes will also be able to use
the equipment. It is general and
will give students experience
with equipment found in
graduate and research work.
Electronic and optical
equipment, "equal to that of any
major university," pointed out
Mr. Bowling, is to be bought.
Also to be purchased are film
loops which illustrate physical
principles. Mr. Bowling stated
that "If I say something, it does
not come across as well as if I
can really show it." The
equipment will make illustration
easier and more vivid.

Some of the equipment has
a Iready been purchased with the
matching funds from the
college. One piece of equipment
now in use is an oscilloscope,
wh ich can be widely used to dis-
play any information that can be
converted into electrical form.
This equ ipment is being used for

upper level courses in addition to
the introductory courses.

The government has been
striving for more women to
become involved in all the
sciences. Mr. Bowling said that
in granting this money to Agnes
Scott, "it really came through"
in enabling the college to do
more in instruction forwomen in
these areas.

Mr. Bowling stresses that this
equipment will not be used in
just one course. The Physic / As-
tronomy curriculum was revised
last year. He is "hoping thatthis
equipment will make in-
troductory courses attractive to
more students."

Barton To Publish Collection of Poetry

by Joanna Splawn

It has always been the
tradition at ASC to recognize
students for outstanding
achievements through honor
roll, academic honor awards and
scholarships, and by publishing
poems, short stories and articles
in the various student
publications. However, the
achievements of professors and
administrators are often
overlooked or unknown to the
student body. I would like to take
this opportunity to recognize a
very considerable achievement
of one of our English professors
Mr. David Barton. Many of you
probably know Mr. Barton as a
result of taking freshman
English, Modern Poetry, or
Modern British Novel. For those
of you who are not acquainted
with Mr Barton, hopefully this
article will motivate you to try
and take one of his classes or at
least introduce you to this
professor and poet.

This is Mr. Barton's third year
as a professor at Agnes Scott. He
received his B.A. from Boston
College and his Ph D. from Stan-
ford University. When I found
out Mr Barton had a book of
poetry in the process of being
published, I became very
interested in his book both in
terms of a feature article for The
Profile and because I am taking
Modern Poetry this quarter
Somehow knowing that a
professor actually writes what
he is teaching made me even
more curious as to the subject
matter of his poetry, his style, his
reasons for writing, and how he

would stylistically describe
himself not Yeats, Pound, or
Eliot. I found it rather awkward
at first questioning Mr. Barton
because I am definitely more ac-
customed to him asking ques-
tions. However, after a few
minutes, his comments and
willingness to discuss his work
provided for a comfortable, very
interesting and informative
interview about his book
Surviving the Cold.

Surviving the Cold is a book
of poetry composed of four sec-
tions that deal with New
England (Mr. Barton's home),
perceptions of art (in terms of
academic aspects), Georgia, and
California. The book has evolved
over a period of about seven
years with some of the poems
having been composed seven
years ago and some only com-
posed last June. Some of Mr.
Barton's work has been
published before in magazines
and literary journals, but Surviv-
ing the Cold is his first major
publication. The book is being
jointly published by The
Quarterly Review of Literature
and Princeton University. His
work will first be published in
The Quarterly Review
Magazine and later will be
accessible by subscription. The
book will also be published in
paperback form and as a
hardcover book Aside from hav-
ing his book published by such
well known and prestigious
organizations, Mr. Barton is
excited because the process will
ensure a wtde distribution of his
work Fame and literary success

may be just a step awayl Mr.
Barton did not receive any sort of
personal help or inspiration in
composing his book because, as
he said, poetry is sort of a
"solitary expedition." For the
past two summers Agnes Scott
has given Mr. Barton a grant
which enabled him to travel to
California, specifically Berkeley,
in order to complete his book.

Mr. Barton describes his
poetry as post-symbolic lyrics.
Most of his poems have a certain
realistic base that make their
meaning and symbolism
generally accessible to the
reader. This does not mean that
there is not a great deal of
"intellectual weight" behind his
work, but for those of you who
are familiar with the work of
someone like Ezra Pound, as far
as grasping some meaning from
his poems, his poetry is
definitely not "Poundian." Mr.
Barton deals with themes and
references which are not so
obscure that demands will be
made upon the reader which
turn him/her away from com-
prehending the meaning of the
poem. He feels that if there is
enough emotional weight
behind a poem the reader will
naturally be able to comprehend
his meaning. He characterizes
his poems as being rhythmically
conservative and writes in free
verse. The book as a whole is a
sort of movement from "east to
west'' as the book begins with
references to his life in New
England, progresses to Georgia,
and then concludes with
California presented as a sort of

"promised land." Of course,
later, when his book is published
and we all have the chance to
read Mr. Barton's poetry, we
may get a more personal and
complete view of his "promised
land."

Plans for future publications
are in stages of development
although with the res-
ponsibilities of teaching, Mr.
Barton does not have a great
deal of free time to devote to his
poetry. He feels that teaching
helps his work both functionally
and theoretically, and that his
poetry also enhances his ability
to relate and instruct his
students.

Mr. Barton's intentions of
becoming a poet were not just a
matter of happenstance. At the
age of 12, when he realized he
would never become a great
painter, he decided to become a
poet. Well, congratulations Mr.
Barton looks like you made a
wise decision!

'Somewhere Over" Offers Variety

It's a fun place to eat with
delicious, healthy foods for
those of us who are vegetarians
and those of us who aren't.

Starting as a small restaurant
in the back of Rainbow Grocery
in North Decatur Plaza (where
North Decatur Road and
Clairmont meet), Somewhere
Over has just expanded their
operations and opened a second
restaurant, twice the size of the
original one. The new
Somewhere Over is located at
the corner of Briarcliff Road and
LaVista at the Briar Vista Shop-

ping Center.

Jackie Williamson, the
originator, is a person who
doesn't like to keep house and
that's why she opened
Somewhere Over. "Feeding
people is fun," she says.

It all began about seven years
ago, when Jackie's daughter,
Jane, became a vegetarian. At
that time Jackie learned to cook
vegetarian meals and loved it. To
her it's creative. She feels, as
many others do, thattoo much of
the food we eat is processed and
packaged. Knowing the creative

cooking of vegetables is easy,
she has taught courses in this
which were shown on Public
Television. Jackie believes that
health food should not only be
healthy, of course, but that it
should also taste good. She has
lots of fun cooking, especially
her soups. Creating the recipe as
she goes, she usually has dif-
ficulty remembering exactly how
much of each ingredient went in,
which is sometimes perplexing
to customers who want to
duplicate it.
Somewhere Over specializes

in fruit shakes and juices (for
example, their "Joy Juice" is a
unique drink that's a com-
bination of three different juices
mixed together. It's a different
combination every day);
sandwiches (like "Peanut
Paradise" made of peanut
butter, banana, and honey with a
twist of apple on Dave's bread);
salads (fresh fruit with honey-
lemon dressing and home-made
sweet bread is one example);
desserts (like "Peter Rabbit's
Delight" which is carrots and
coconut in a cake); and soup
that's sometimes hot and
sometimes cold, but always
delicious!

Vegetarians will be happy to
know that there are no eggs,
sugar or meat used in cooking
the foods served at Somewhere
Over. The cheese and dairy
products used are made with
vegetable enzymes rather than
animal enzymes.

If you feel the need while
there, you can pick up a few
items such as produce, dairy
products, vitamins, pottery and
cosmetics in their natural foods
market at the same location. The
market is managed by Odell
Williamson, Jackie's husband.

Pics Are Back

Both Somewhere Over res-
taurants are open seven days a
week. They open at 10 a.m. and
close at 7 p.m., Monday through
Friday. Somewhere Over at
Rainbow Grocery is open from
12 to 5 on Sundays.
Somewhere Over at Briar Vista
serves Brunch on Sundays from
9:00 a.m. to 1 :00 p.m.

// Penthouse // Pokes Fun at Losing Teams

Just in time to inject a note of
reality into alumni hopes for a
winning football season, Pen-
thouse magazine's October is-
sue identifies what sports writer
Lawrence Linderman calls 'The
Penthouse 20 Worst Football
Teams of 1979-80."

These teams are not obscure
teachers colleges; they are, or
have been potential rivals of the
best. But all have fallen on hard
times in recent years, and
Linderman sees little hope for
the football season soon upon
us.

The. list of the first ten:

1. Northwestern. Its 0-10-0
record set lastyear "figuresto be
even worse in 1979." Says the
magazine: "Northwestern's ma-
jor problems are offense and
defense, in both of which they
are deficient."

2. Wake Forest. Last season's
1-10 record may turn out to be
better than 1979's likely out-
come. "Wake Forest may well
lose every time out in 1979, in-
cluding its curtain raiser against
unhera kJed Appalachian State."

Series Action

October is here again, and it is
time for changing leaves,
harvest moons and the World
Series games.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and the
Baltimore Orioles are champs of
their respectived leagues, and
the Pirates and the Orioles met
in the best of seven series for the
World Championship. The series
started last Wednesday night in
Baltimore. These teams last met
in 1971 with the Pirates winning
in seven games, but few of those
same players are still around.

Pittsburgh's National League
Pirates will be slight favorites
but the American League
Orioles have the best pitching.

3. University of Texas, El Paso.
UTEP has won only one game
per season since 1975, "and
they won't do any better this
time around. UTEP's gridiron
specialty is the equal-op-
portunity defense, which allows
opponents to score five
touchdowns a game without
regard to race, creed, color or
ta lent."

4. Vanderbilt. Finishing 2-9
last year, "this fall Vanderbilt
will again be atrocious and noth-
ing new that head coach George
Maclntyre can say or do will help
the Commodores escape what
seems to be paramount posses-
sion of last place

5. Idaho. Last year's 2-9

record isn't likely to be much
better this year, but Penthouse
concedes that the team might be
able to give us less than the 36
points per game it yielded in
1978.

6. Texas Christian University.
"Defense will again be the
Froggies' short suit, but the
same can be said of their
offense." Look for another 2-9
season this year.

7. Virginia. After 1979's 2-9
record, Linderman says: "I look
for the Cavaliers to beat James
Madison this year . . . And that's
about it."

8. Columbia. "The doormat of
the Ivy League" in 1979 after
last year's 3-5-1 season.

Dr. Djerassi Speaks on "Politics of Birth Control"

Award-winning chemist Dr.
Carl Djerassi, who developed the
first oral contraceptive, will
speak on "The Politics of Con-
traception" tonight at 8:15 p.m.
in Presser Hall. Dr. Djerassi's
lecture is sponsored by the
Agnes Scott Lecture Committee.

Dr. Djerassi, professor of
chemistry at Stanford
University, is the author of the
book 'The Politics of Con-
traception," published this year
by Norton of New York and
previouslypublished by Stanford
in its series, "The Portable Stan-
ford." For his research on oral
contraceptions he was awarded
the National Medal of Science.

An organic chemist, he has
not only conducted extensive
research on oral contraceptives
but also in a wide range of fields,

including steroids, antibiotics,
alkaloids and mass spec-
trometry. In recognition of his
research in these various fields,
he has been elected to
membership in the National
Academy of Sciences and
several foreign academics. He
has also received the American
Chemical Society's Award in
Pure Chemistry and the first
Wolf Prize in Chemistry.

Parallel with his academic
work, Dr. Djerassi has held ma-

"Need More Color"

by Wendy Brooks
and Lisa Wilson

Quantrell / Williams Design
Associates, Inc. has been on
campus for the last few months
studying the Agnes Scott cam-
pus so they would be able to
make suggestions for renovation
needs. Their major objective isto
maintain the old architectural
styles and make what we have
more livable.

The projected plans are in
Dean Martha Kirkland's office,
1st Main, and she strongly en-
courages all interested students
to come by and look them over.
She feels that if the students
have an opportunity to see the
plans that no erroneous rumors
will circulate.

The Quantrell evaluation in-
cludes suggestions for spatial
and architectural modifications,
lighting improvements,
recommendations for any new
floors, and finishings and win-
dow treatments, recommen-
dations for any new furnishings
or reuse of existing furnishings,
and miscellaneous observations
regarding acoustics, security
devices, etc. All recommen-
dations are not meant to be op-
timally aesthetic but cost ef-
ficient, easier to maintain, and
flexible. These were important
factors in coming up with
solutions to problems. The
College is going to try to make
use of existing furniture, but

most items are in poor condition,
and a great deal of new
furnishings are recommended.

The renovations will begin
with Inman's public rooms.
Remodeling will be done in the
public rooms in all the dorms
before they move to the more
extensive changes that will have
to be made in the student's dorm
rooms.

The dorms and rooms
designated for renovation ac-
cording to the evaluation are as
follows:

Inman: Main lobby, 1 st floor,
Recreation room, 1st floor;
Student lounge, 2nd floor;
Student lounge, 3rd floor; The
laundry room may also have to
be moved to the 2nd floor.

'There is no continuity in
decorations and design. Try to
regain original character. Laun-
dry and Kitchen off lobby causes
noise problems. Major
renovation of lobby is necessary.
Needs more color. All the areas
seem to need a great deal of
renovation."

Rebekah: Main lobby, 1st
floor; date parlors, 1st floor;
Recreation room, 1st floor;
Student lounges on 2nd and 3rd
floors.

"Overall condition is good but
little color. Try to retain original
architectural treatment because
of historical significance."

His industrial work has also
been recognized through
various awards such as the
Perkin Medal of the Society for
Chemical Industry, the
American Chemical Society's
Award for Creative Invention
and induction in 1978 into the
National Inventors Hall of Fame.

"Dr. Djerassi has long been
concerned with lessening the
technological and economic gap

between the rich and the poor
countries and in upgrading
science in lesser - developed
nations," states the biography in
The Portable Stanford volume,
'The Politics of Contraception."

For over a decade Dr. Djerassi
was a member and later
chairman of the National
Academy of Science's board on
Science and Technology for
International Development. His
proposals have helped spur the

formation of advanced research
institutes in Mexico, Brazil and
Africa.

He describes his life as a
luxury, "like having two cakes
and eating them both." But it is
teaching, he explains, that gives
him his greatest satisfaction,
"because these young people
are the ones who will be trying to
solve so many of the great
problems which society faces
now."

Speaker To Approach Important Issue

"In exalting the beauty of
marriage you (the Bishops)
rightly spoke against both the
ideology of contraception and
contraceptive acts, asdid the en-
cyclical Humanae Vitae. And I
myself today . . . ratify the teach-
ing of this encyclical . . . You also
gave witness to the truth . . .
serving all humanity, when . . .
you reaffirmed the right to life
and the inviolability of every
human life, including the life of
unborn children." (The words of
Pope John Paul II on his recent
tour of the United States.)

The words of Pope John Paul

represent a controversial topic
facing our country and the world
today. Tonight, at 8:15, Dr. Carl
Djerassi will address the subject
of politics and birth control. As
the inventor of the first oral con-
traceptive, we might expect that
he will not agree with the Pope's
forceful message. Rather, Dr.
Djerassi may focus on the
problems in the third world and
their need for birth control.

In many developing countries,
the population growth is
exorbitant. Birth control
programs are neither accepted
nor understood.

There are many causes for this
which should be understood by

us before we blame ignorance
on these nations. Through the
ages, and today, primitive
cultures have believed in having
large families for economic
reasons. The infant mortality
rates are very high, yet man-
power is needed to help in the
fields or family business.

Therefore, many babies are born
to assure the family of workers.
Also, in countries such as India,
there is a strong belief that con-
traception should be left up to
the people. The problem here is
that educating the millions of
people is either ineffective or im-
possible. In the words of Prime
Minister Morarji Desai in 1977,
"I don't think it is easy to educate

people into self control.

Population control is vital today
because we are all poor. Now it
can only be done by artificial
means by common people.
Therefore, we must be voluntary
and not compulsory ... It must
only be incentive." (TIME, April
4, 1977)

Desair was speaking after the
traumatic months of Gandhi's
birth control program in which
she ordered vasectomies of ap-
proximately 7.8 million men
within 9 months. What Desai
really implies is that until
economic conditions in India im-
prove, the people are not going
to change their patterns.

Tips on Conservation

has worked to persuade coun-
tries thatthey would be better off
economically if their birth rate
was lowered or reversed. Indian
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
once told the United States to
'mind their own business' since
Americans are the largest con-
sumers and the largest 'wasters'
in the world today. In other
words, the developed countries
are the pot calling the kettle
black.

Right here in the U.S.A. we
have hot political issues relating
to birth control. We have the
right to lifers and the 'new
freedom' women's groups at
odds constantly. Poor women
want to use Medicare/Medicaid
funds for abortions while Pro-
life groups say no. Some groups
compromise on the issue saying
that abortion is acceptable when
the mother's life is in danger.
Still other groups say that the
decision is up to the individual
women Even the U.S. Congress
has had a hard time deciding,
with bill after bill being
presented on the subject

Underlying the entire issue is
that SOMEBODY wants to curb
the population growth in the
U.S. and in the world. In the U.S.
statistics show that lower in-
come families produce larger
families. Therefore, restricting
the use of Medicare/Medicaid
funds for this purpose leaves lit-
tle alternative for these women.

In places like India, something
more than mere voluntary action
must be implemented And in
the religious sector . . . well its
hard to argue with the Pope But
society today must do some
rethinking on the subject of con-
traception. The phrase may say
"God will provide," but there's
only so much room left on earth.

Since we are women, the lec-
ture tonight is extremely fitting
and it is hoped that everyone will
attend. The subject potentially
will affect us all in the future. As
women, we need to know!

W.F.A. Says: Save Energy

by Maureen Smith

Very few people are unaware
that the energy problem has
become one of America's
greatest concerns. Everyone is
(or should be) concerned with
how they can contribute to save
energy. But not every one is ac-
quainted with the different ways
in which a person can save
energy. One of the most im-
portant ways you can economize
energy is by saving on gasoline.

By saving gasoline, not only do

you benefit yourself (you spend
less money on gas) but you also
benefit the country as a whole by
doing your part to conserve
energy. Here are some gas sav-
ing tips you can use:

1) Observe the speed limit.
You waste 1 0 to 1 5% of your fuel
for every 10 miles an hour you go
over 50.

2) Accelerate modestly. Driv-
ing at a steady pace you can in-
crease mileage up to 18%.

3) Coast to stops. Slamming
on your brakes wastes gas and is

hard on tires. If you have manual
transmission, shift to top gear as
soon as practical and safe.

4) Don't letyourengine idle for
more than a minute. It's more ef-
ficient to turn it off and start it
again

5) Use gasoline octane and oil
grade recommended by the car
manufacturer.

6) Check tire pressure
regularly. You use 1% more fuel
for every 2 to 3 pounds of tire
pressure under the
recommended amont.

7) Keep your car properly
maintained and save 3 to 4%
fuel. (Replace spark plugs, main-
tain proper carburetor and choke
operation). Regular tune-ups are
advisable

8) Use your car wisely. Drive
only when you need to.

The Democratic Race

by Marcia Whetsel

Ed. Note: This is a regular
feature to keep the campus in-
formed of current events. Let
us know your ideas.

As a Kennedy-Carter race for
the Democratic presidental
nomination begins to take
shape, a substantial 68-26
percent of the voters feel that
Senator Edward Kennedy's
entering the contest would be
"forthe good of the country," ac-
cording to the latest ABC News
Harris Survey. A majority of
those polled think an important

reason for his becoming a can-
didate would be to "try to save
the Democrats from certain
defeat with Carter." A 48-43
percent plurality also feels that
he would run to "satisfy his am-
bition."

However, a 71 -23 percent ma-
jority of the electorate says they
would not view Kennedy's entry
into the race as an act of
arrogance against Carter.

Prime Time Mimes Perform in Gaines

by W. Burlette Carter

On Monday night, Oct. 9,
Agnes Scott College was
witness to an extraordinary
exhibition of creativity as the
world famous Warsaw Mime
Company graced the stage of
Games Auditorium before a full
house. In their one hour piece
called "Beyond the Word," the
company performed flawlessly
with unbelievable agility and
strength. No less spectacular
than their performance were

their brilliant and unusual cos-
tumes and theirexciting musical
accompaniment which, with
their revolutionary style, added a
new dimension to traditional
mime.

If anything prevented the com-
plete fusion of American and
Polish cultures that evening it
was a language barrier. The
poems explaining each act were
in Polish and, though interesting
in a mysterious kind of way, they
did little to enlighten the

American audience. Membersof
ASC's Lecture Committee
learned after the performance
that the problem had not been
one of oversight. The mimes had
indeed prepared an English tran-
slation of the poem, however,
upon hearing it on tape they
were displeased with the Polish-
English accent that was
produced, so displeased that
they elected not to use the tran-
slation. Though this linguistical
problem definitely affected the

audience's understanding of
each act, the outstanding
performance of the company, its
precision and skill, served to be
more than enough to gain the
audience's approval.

As a member of Lecture Com-
mittee, I had the opportunity to
attend a private reception held
for the mimes that evening and
to speak with two of them. The
first was Rajmund Klechat
whom some may remember as
the soloist in the second part of

Chamber Concert Yields'True Entertainment"

by Laurie Brayer

Listening to the music played
by the Atlanta Chamber Players
is true entertainment. Un-
fortunately, only a small crowd
gathered to listen to their
concert in Presser Hall two
weeks ago. Even more upsetting
is the fact that only a few Agnes
Scott students attended the
performance. Granted that the
concert was during mid-term
week, students still should have
seized the opportunity of atten-
ding the event, which lasted only
an hour and fifteen minutes.

The Atlanta Chamber Players,
who are in residence at Agnes
Scott, include: Robert Brown,
clarinet; Melanie Cramer, flute;
Marian Kent, viola; Dorothy Hall
Lewis, cello; Paula Peace, piano
and Joseph Seidel, oboe anc
English horn. The dress of the
players gave the group a dis-
tinguished look the women
wore long violet dresses and the
men wore black suits

Overall, the group presented a
well balanced, professional
program During the first half of
the program, members played
traditional music The first three
selections were Trio in E M inor,
by Telemann, Suite by Alvin
Etler, and Acht Stukee op. 83
by Max Bruch The first two
pieces were brief, lasting only a
total of 25 minutes. Much con-
trast between the movements of
each piece was apparent and the
melodies of these pieces were
pleasant In contrast to the first
two pieces, Acht Stukee was
more serious and had a slower
tempo The introduction to this
work was interesting The
pianist played alone, then ac-
companied the viola, and then
accompanied the clarinet

Finally all three musicians

played simultaneously. The
careful observation of dynamics
by the players gave this piece
vitality.

Anyone who attended the first
open rehearsal of the group
would have especially ap-
preciated the first half of the
concert. Different from most
musical performing groups, the
Chamber Players do not have a
director. Ms. Peace explained at
the rehearsal that an extreme
amount of cooperation is neces-
sary. If each performed played
the music according to his own
interpretation, the result would
be a lack of unity. During the
rehearsal the performers and to
stop and repeat sections in order
to resolve conflicts regarding
tempo, rhythm and volume.
Precise timing is, of course,
mandatory.

The second half of the
program differed greatly from
the first part. The Chamber
Players performed an avant-
garde piece titled "Paradigm,"
composed by Lukas Foss, with
music for the piano, flute,
English horn and electric guitar.

Guest artist Tom Marnell played
the guitar. In this work, the
percussionist acted as the con-
ductor. The second and fourth
portions featured a modern
aspect of the piece the spoken
word with "musical superim-
position." The group played
notes that might fit the con-
notations of the words they
spoke At one point, they asked
m unison, "But is it art 7 ", pos-
sibly suggesting a controversy in
the music world regarding the
acceptance of avant-garde
music The first the third parts
initiated by the percussionist
were completely musical. When
the conductor tapped each
musician's stand as a signal of
completion the audience
seemed to be amused Laughter

echoed through the hall, as the
pianist continued to play and
shout while the other
performers bowed. The amount
of applause at the end, indicated
that those who did venture to
attend the concert had enjoyed
it.

Those who missed this
performance are unfortunate,
but not out of luck. The players
will have their fourth open
rehearsal on Nov. 16 in Presser
Hall from 1 -4 p.m. and they will
present a second concert during
the spring.

"Fearless", Tim Curry

by Laurie Brayer

Editor's Note: The album
review will be a regular feature
in the PROFILE. Let us hear
your suggestions.

Fearless is the second solo
album by English singer - actor
Tim Curry. Neither Fearless, nor
his first album, Read My Lips,

resembles the unrestrained roc-
king style of his singing in The
Rocky Horror Picture Show.

When coupled with compatible
material, i.e. the mad scientist
role in The Rocky Horror Pic-
ture Show or a dramatic
Shakespearean character, Curry
is an effective performer with an
unmistakable stamp of his own
bizarre persona. Unfortunately,
some of the material on Fearless
is to subtle for his style of
delivery. The album isaneclectic
mix with touches of disco and
reggae strung throughout
predominately rock songs.

Tim Curry wrote lyrics for six
out of nine songs on Fearless
with mixed results. When good,
they're witty: "John and Yoko
farming beef / Raising protein
quota / Sometimes they make
love and art / Inside the Dakota"
and "Carter, Begin and Sadat /
Brezhnev, Teng and Castro /
Everyday negotiate us closer to
disastro" from that singsong hit
"I Do the Rock." In "No Love on
the Street" he attempts the
same style, but the rhyming of
launderette, cigarette and

usherette in successive lines
sounds contrived. Another
danceable disco-parody
"Paradise Garage" achieves its
irony with an aristocratic
narrative, "I can't think where I
put my wallet / Naive suburban
fool / You wouldn't think that I'd
spent hours outside / French
polishing my cool."

The songs "S O S " and
"Something Short of Paradise"
written by Dick Wagner are
haunting, lost-love ballads. With
beautifully poignant singing,
they reveal Curry's voice at its
best. "Right on the Money" and
"Charge It" are two up-tempo
rockers where Curry cuts loose
over sliding guitars and thunder-
ing drums a la Queen.

At the very worst of Fearless is
a mangled cover of Joni Mit-
chell's "Cold Blue Steel and
Sweet Fire." Curry switches
from hard rock singing to a
dramatic recitation of the lyrics,
destroying all the nuancesof the
jazz-like original.

Tim Curry's music sounds
much better delivered live where
his personality dominates the
stage. The studio musicians on
Fearless are technically sharp
but overproduced. Special note
goes to Dick Wagner (guitars)
and David Sanborn (sax) for
inventive solos; they salvage
otherwise formulated
arrangements. Overall, Fearless
deserves three stars, but for Tim
Curry freaks, don't miss the next
live show.

AIM

"Beyond the Word." I was very
impressed by Mr. Klechat's
pleasantness and his eagerness
to talk about his craft. The slow,
deliberate tones of his charm-
ingly Polish-accented English
were sometimes colored with a
flourish of mimicry which
amused those who'dgathered to
converse with him. He gladly
signed autographs, making it a
point to sign in the space right
above his name on the program,
and through his ever-present
smile, made himself easily
accessible to those who wished
to talk with him.

I learned that Mr. Klechat
made his first stage appearance
atthe age of twenty. He said that
as a youngster, he had always
been intrigued by Marcel
Marceau and that his early
performances were much in
Marceau's tradition. However,
as he grew older, he found a
need to move on to something
different, and, though he still
considers Marceau one of the
greatest pioneers in mime, he is
happy with his new style.

Mr. Klechat revealed as-
tonishment at the influence of
Marceau in America. While
performing in Milwaukee, he
had seen many American mimes
performing in the tradition of
Marceau. He noted somewhat
sadly that his type of mime,
though well-received in Europe,
is considerably new to America,
which seems to expect a con-
tinuation of Marceau's style, but
he expressed the hope that more
exposure to this new style will
result in a total acceptance of it
in America.

Admittedly, most of those who
had gathered in Gaines that
evening had expected "more of
Marceau," but the reaction to
the company'sperformance was
not of displeasure, but one of
puzzlement which might have
been alleviated by an
explanation, in English, of each
act. We spoke briefly about this
problem of translation. He ad-
mitted that an English tape had
been made, but he insisted that
it was "not worth playing," des-
pite our own insistence that we
would not have minded the
accent. He did, however,
recognize the need for tran-
slation and said he would like to
keep the Polish but add an
English version also. He stated
too that he wished his group
could have performed more of
their work for us; "Beyond the
Word" is only one of five pieces
in this year's repertoire.

"Caretaker" Examines
Selfishness of Man

by Nicole Pretlow

Man is the true selfish being,
caring for no-one and always as-
king the question, "What about
me?" This theme is excellently
portrayed in Harold Pinter's The
Caretaker, presented on
Saturday, October 13, by the
Academy Theatre of Atlanta. The
play, directed by Frank Wittow,
was presented in Presser Hall
with curtain time at 8:1 5 p.m.

Winner of the London Drama
Critics Awards, the New York
Times describes the play as, "A
play of strangely compelling
beauty and passion; it will tease
and cling to the mind." There is
little doubt as the to the truth of
the previous statement, for the

audience is truly made to
wonder about the extent of their
own selfishness through the
poignantly portrayed triangle
between three different men
with three different needs.

Under Wittow's direction are
brought into the world whose
exterior gives the appearance of
an attic: from the old bed and
lone light bulb to the broken
stove with apink Buddha on top.

It is in this world that we see
inside: Davies, the caretaker;
Aston, the unnaturally somber
tenant of the room; and Mick,
whose bitterly sarchastic
behavior directs itself against
the erratic accusations of Davies
and the zombie-like existence of
Aston, Mick's older brother.

The three characters of Mick,
Aston, and Davies were played
by John Fergueson, Tom Ham-
mond, and Chris Curran, respec-
tively.

The stage interplay between
these actors was well -
developed, with each character
competing for attention in a
trinagle where all points were
equally as sharp.

One would assume the play
would conclude with all three
men being drawn together
under a common bond
survival. Yet it is the need of
survival that pushes these men
apart, each wondering in his
own mind, and out loud by
Davies, "What about me? What
if . . ."

Pegasus Constellation
Appearing This Week

For the week of October 22-
28, one of the more obvious
constellations in the evening sky
is Pegasus. To locate it, look for
four stars forming a large

"empty" square almost directly
overhead at 9 p.m. The moon
was new on the 20th,, and it will
be in first quarter phase on Sun-
day, the 28th. The only planets
favorably placed for naked-eye

observation are Saturn, Jupiter
and Mars. They can be found in
the southeast in the pre-dawn

Prime Time Mime Performance

(Continued from page 4)

We did not speak much about
his personal life. Mr. Klechat
mentioned that he does have
family back in Poland. When
asked if he was married, he
grinned and said no, after which
he issued a mock proposal to the
author of this article and then
gleefully enjoyed her em-
barrassment. Except for this
small moment of discomfort, our
conversation went smoothly,
touching upon many different
aspects of his craft. I found him
very kind, and all who spoke with
him had nothing but praise for
the company's performance.

Later in the evening, I met
Jolanta Kruzewska, one of the
two women in the company.
Before venturing into mime,
Mrs. Kruzewska had been a
dancer. She began dancing at
the age of nine, for dance was a
regular part of her schoolwork in
Poland. She joined the Warsaw
Mime Company only four years
ago.

I asked her how the company
went about choreographing a
piece. She said that they take
their ideas from literature.

Before anything is written down

they have a long discussion and
then the members' ideas are
combined to produce the whole
piece. Practicing is a necessity in
her work practices range from
"short practices" of five hours a
day to twelve hours or even all
night to prepare for a big
performance.

When I asked if she was
married, she said yes and then
very proudly told me that her
husband is an opera singer in
Poland a tenor. They have no
ch ildren . She expressed concern
that she would not have the time
to devote to them because of her
busy traveling and performing
schedule.

Indeed, between practices and
performances she has very little
time even for herself. She
recalled to me a time when the
company was performing in
New York, and she had a large
break between performances.

She did what any bright
American woman would have
done in her case she "went
out and spent a lot of money."

Mrs. Kruzewska said she loves
traveling. With the company,
she's visited many cities on the
East Coast but says she'd really

like to visit California. She also
mentioned that she liked
Washington. As for New York,
her comment about it made me
laugh for it was like the echo of
an opinion that I'd heard many
times before from Americans:
"It's nice to visit, but I would not
want to live there."

As I spoke with each of the two
mimes, I was surprised at how
very "American" they seemed,
despite the fact that they had
come from a country half a world
away and a political situation so
very different from our own
Perhaps my label "American" is
not valid; perhaps I should say
instead "natural," for that they
were on stage and off. It is un-
fortunate that a language barrier
caused problems for the
audience and equally un-
fortunate that America's ad-
justment to this new kind of
mime is not yet complete. But
despite the vast differences
between Poland and America or
between Marceau's style and
that of the Warsaw Mime Com-
pany, for this author, and I
suspect for many other people,
the distance between the two
countries, and the two styles,
has become a lot shorter
because of that night.

Larsen's Side

Python Satire Again

by Laramie Larsen

A little bit of Monty Python
goes a long way with me. To me,
Eric Idle and his band of wierdos
invariably step over the bounds
of good taste and run an already
questionable gag right into the
ground. With this attitude in
mind it is rather difficult for me
to admit how funny I found the
latest Python endeavor, Monty
Python's Life of Brian. But oh
boy, is it funny.

Brian is a young Jew born on
the same night as Christ. This is
the only reference made directly
to Christianity in the entire film.
Brian grows up in Judea,
becomes a member of a terrorist
group, hassles the Romans oc-
cupying his homeland,
inadvertantly becomes the
leader of a multitude of Jews
looking for a savior and is finally
crucified. The parallel with the
life of Christ is, of course, ob-
vious, butBrian is hardly a Christ
figure. Brian is just a nice
Jewish boy who seems to get
stuck in the middle of a lot of
trouble.

As one might expect, there is a
great deal of satire in the film,
and I realize that many people
would find it offensive. Ab-
solutely nothing is sacred in this
film. Christianity is mocked
when a multitude of people
begin to follow Brian simply
because they do not clearly
understand what he says. One of
the funniest scenes occurs
when the multitude is chasing
Brian through the countryside,
hoping to hear some of his wis-
dom. Brian drops his sandal as
he runs and the crowd takes this
as a sign that they should all
remove one shoe.

The movie ends with a
hilarious crucifiction scene. If
this seems close to blasphemy,
bear in mind that crucifiction
was the means of capital
punishment. At any rate, this
scene is memorable. From the
kindly centurion in charge of
handing out the crosses to the
do-gooder on the side of the road
who gets crucified for his
trouble, to the mix-up in Brian's
pardon, this bit keeps you
laughing, although perhaps a bit
nervously. In the final fade-out,
when all the people on the
crosses begin whistling a happy
tune about the meaning of life,
one simply can't help smiling.

Even without the religious im-
plications, this is sick humour,
but humour nevertheless. I do
not recommend this movie for
everyone because it is offensive

There are, no doubt, some sub-
jects that are simply above
satire. The problem is that this
movie is so cleverly done that I
cannot absolutely condemn it as
blasphemy because it manages
to just barely side step at the
pointwhen it seems that the plot
is getting in too deep.

Sometimes when I think about it,
Ifind myself thinking I'm reading
too much into it; however, the
parallel with the life of Christ is
undeniable.

This movie made me laugh out
loud. It also made me a bit
nervous. I must admit that as I
left the theater whistling the
closing tune, I sort of looked up
in the sky for signs of lightening
bolts.

in college. Their quality of
players is superior. They play
well together as a team and are
generous in giving their time to
help the Agnes Scott team. Miss
Jo Ann Messick, the new ad-
dition to the Agnes Scott
physical education department,
also plays for the Georgia Club.
She officiated the game.

The first half of the game
appeared to be dominated by
Georgia Club, but Agnes Scott's
defense only let two goals go by.

Agnes Scott's defense is
particularly strong. All of these
players have experience. Paxson
Collins, Jenny Spenser, and
Dixie Washington, all seniors,
are playing in their fourth year.
Lydia Reasor, a transfer from
William and Mary, played on the
team there and is a valuable ad-
dition to Agnes Scott's team.
Kathy Stearns returns as goalie,
and Millie Pinnell completes the
starting defense.

Things looked grim after the
two goals that Georgia Club
scored, but the forward line of
Agnes Scott surprised everyone.

Right wing, Katie Blanton, made
a beautiful pass to Sue Scott
who scored as the puck crossed
in front of the goal. This not only
lifted the spirits of Agnes Scott,
but also showed a marked im-
provement in this year's team.

The Georgia Club scored two
more times in the last half,
however Agnes Scott's forward
line worked well together. Sue
Scott, a freshman from
Baltimore, MD., is playing center
forward. Two other freshmen,
Katie Blanton and Nicole
Pretlow, are also playing on the
forward line. They are joined by
two returning players, Lisa Lee,

Help Needed For Cambodian Refugees

by Wendy Brooks

Cambodia has had problems
for many years; but its latest
problem one of famine,
starvation, and death, has been
caused partially by the spillover
from the Viet Nam War.

In 1975, Pol Pot andhis Khmer
Rouge (Cambodian Com-
munists) took over the Cam-
bod ian government. Pot is an ad-
vocate of pure communism and
he went to great lengths in his
attempts to establish an
eglatarian society. In the first

year and a half of his control
there were over 100,000
political assassinations. Those
killed were quite often the
educated and wealthy because
they were a threat to Pot's ideal.

He wanted to create a peasant
society pure communism
based on agriculture. The
second step of the plan was to
move all the people from the
cities into the country-side.
Therefore, there were in 1978
2 1 /2 million internal refugees in

Cambodia. Internal refugees are
people who are in their own
homeland, yet have no homes.

Some political scientists feel
that under different conditions
Pol Pot's plan would have
worked. As the plan was im-
plemented, it only created
havoc.

. In 1978, Viet Nam with the aid
of Cambodian allies, invaded
Cambodia with 200,000 troops.
This invading force was

immediately successful and took
over a majority of Cambodia. Pol
Pot and what was left of his
government fled, yet they main-
tain control of some small areas.
Heng Samrin, the head of the
new Viet backed regime refuses

to let food and supplies into the
country; supposedly because he
is afraid they will fall into Pot's
hands and that he will regain
control of the government.

Meanwhile millions of citizens
are dying from starvation.

Something is being done.
UNICEF and the Red Cross are
willing to send in food and
medicine. Some is actually get-
ting in through Thailand.
Immediate aid is available, but
will it be in time?

Last week Mr. Hawroth and
over 50 students and faculty met
and discussed the situation.
Fund raising projects were dis-
cussed and it is obvious that the
ASC community isgoingto do its
part.

After Successful Careers As Homemaker . . .

Agnes Scott College will
launch a pilot program for a
Women's Center on Tuesday,
Nov. 13, with the workshop,
"After a Successful Career as a
Homemaker, What's Next?"

Tuition for the daylong
workshop is $25.00 and the
dead line for registering is Friday,
Nov. 9

According to Kathleen
Mooney, director of Career Plan-
ning; the Women's Center pro-
ject is designed to serve the

women of metropolitan Atlanta
in making and implementing
primarily career-related
decisions. Services offered by
the Women's Center will include
individual counseling,
vocational testing, library and
computerized information
resources, assertivesness train-
ing and workshops.

The workshop "After a
Successful Career as a
Homemaker" is designed to help
the homemaker determine her

values and their impact on her
life, how to set goals for herself
and her family and how to make
the transition from homemaking
to work outside of the home or to
volunteer activities. The
homemaker will also learn about
opportunities in paid and
volunteer organizations and .
how to develop an action plan
that will ensure the results she
wants.

Presenting this workshop will
be Anne Deeley and Heather

Fenton of Deeley-Fenton & As-
sociates, Inc., an Atlanta-based
firm offering career
development seminars
throughout the United States.

Ms. Deeley, who holds an
M.A. in psychology from the
University of Kentucky, has
diversified experience in
personnel administration, af-
firmative action programming
and the federal government. She

Economic Democracy

Jane and Tom Speak at Emory

Actress Jane Fonda and her
husband, political activist, Tom
Hayden, addressed a sell-out
crowd on Tuesday, October 16,
at Emory University's Glenn
Memorial Auditorium. They are
currently on a 50 city tour to
promote their national campaign
for Economic Democracy.

Hayden said that he is com-
mitted to peaceful changes

through election of leaders
who are sensitive to the need for
decentralized alternative energy
forms as opposed to what he
labeled the costly and dangerous
nuclear option. He and Fonda
jointly called for a moratorium
on construction of more nuclear
plants and a phase-out of the
nation's existing nuclear
facilities.
"It is the first time in our own

history that someone has to
speak out for the constituency
that is not yet born," Hayden
argued.

Hayden also attacked what he
felt had been the economic
subversion of the South by large
Northern corporations more
interested in cheap labor than in
the region's welfare.

Mrs. Fonda spoke of her
change in views in the 60's and

Representative Billy McKinney on
Split Between Jews and Blacks

State Rep. J. E. Billy McKinney
of northwest Atlanta's 35th dis-
trict will speak to Students for
Black Awareness (SBA) at
Agnes Scott College Thursday,
Nov. 8, at 8:15 p.m. in Presser
Hall. The public is invited, free of
charge.

Rep. McKinney plans to talk
about several topics, including
the current split between the
Black and the Jewish com-

munities, the effect of the Equal
Rights Amendment on Bfack
women and the importance of
political participation for the
black community.

SBA president Emily Moore of
Valdosta, Ga. explained that the
purpose of Students for Black
Awareness is "to promote at
Agnes Scott awareness of the
black experience. We sponsor
programs and personalities of

interest to the campus and to
black students."

Rep. McKinney, first elected to
the Georgia House of Represen-
tatives in 1972, serves on the
House Committees of Health
and Ecology; Game, Fish and
Recreation; and Agriculture and
Consumer Affairs. A graduate of
Clark College, he describes
himself as a public affairs con-
sultant and politician.

her involvement in the Anti-
VietNam war movements. She
said that she had grown up in the
50's with an apathetic view of
life, and decided to become in-
volved when she realized how
little she was contributing to
society in the making of her
stereotype movies of the 50's
and 60's.

She urged the audience to
become concerned and involved
in today's problems in society
and advocated personal
awareness of public issues

She said that she was pursu-
ing her desire to communicate
her views on controversial is-
sues to the public through her
movies. Some of her recent films
include, "The China Syndrome"
which deals with the meltdown
of a nuclear reactor, and "Com-
ing Home", which is concerned
with the lives of VietNam
veterans. She told of her newest
movie, "Nine to Five," in which a
group of secretaries fantasize
about murdering their boss, and
her effort to raise the
consciousness of women tired of
dreary office jobs.

Australia, earned her business
degree in Athens, Greece She
has worked for major
international firms and has
served as an officer in a publicly-
held corporation. She is a well-
known panelist and trainer and
has been awarded many honors
for her civic accomplishments.

The workshop and the
services of Deeley and Fenton
are being subsidized in part by
grants to Agnes Scott College
from IBM Corporation and Hazel
Scruggs Ouzts of Atlanta. The
Ouzts Fund specifically sponsors
programs addressing the needs
of women returning to school or
to work.

Other workshops to be spon-
sored through the Women's
Center pilot program will ad-

The Agnes Scott Address: Emphasizing Honor

Four score and ten years ago
our mothers brought forth upon
this college an honor system,
conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that
Agnes Scott students will not

system so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure.

cannot avoid, we cannot delay,
we cannot cheat on these

gone far beyond our power to

dedicated to the great seven

Sue Connor and Lecie Weston
spoke to Rep Council about the
Food Committee. There seems to
be some discontent among
students because lunch is being
served after noon everyday. One
of the reasons lunch is being
served late is to encourage
students to attend Wednesday
convocations and Friday chapel
programs. However, the Food
Committee realizes that some
students must eat before their
12:10 classes, and they are
working on a solution to the

problem. The committee has dis-
cussed re-allocating funds to br-
ing about such improvements as
a better salad bar. The Food
Committee is working hard, but
changes do take time Food

welcome constructive criticism
and realistic requests.

Rep Council is currently work-
ing on several important pro-
jects. A committee of Rep is
drawing up ideas for a uniform
course evaluation sheet which
will be used in all classes

CATALYST is drawing up a re-
quest to the faculty for a dead
week before exams, which

means that there would be no
tests given and no papers due
the week prior to exams. Rep
Council will also be discussing
the possibility of asking the
faculty to place student
members on the Curriculum
Committee. And finally, Rep
Council will evaluate the budget
Some students have suggested
that SGA buy a new pool table
for the hub. The College Bowl
and the ASC Film Series have
asked to be supported by SGA

sary to raise the student ac-

Dear Editor:

The Admissions Office is
extremely grateful to faculty,
staff and students for their en-
thusiastic support and
cooperation during Ok-
toberQuest '79. The feedback
we have been receiving from
prospective students who were
in attendance has been positive,
indicating that this event was an
overhwelming success.

Campus visitation programs
are of utmost significance in
terms of positively influencing
students to seek application to
institutions With respectto ASC
this is particularly ture, as our
data indicate that a very high
percentage of students who
have participated in similar
programs over the years have
applied and subsequently
enrolled.

Due to the revision of this
year's academic calendar, this
event had to be scheduled
between Black Cat and
midterms, a time that was not
particularly convenient for
faculty or students You
somehow managed to rise to the
occasion and provide an en-

joyable and meaningful
experience to the 140 visiting
students. This is a remarkable
commentary on the sense of
community and responsibility
we all share here at Agnes Scott

At the risk of omitting
someone or some campus
organization, we wish to extend
a special thank you to Sara
Fountain, Linda Hilsenrad, Bob
Hyde, Mrs. Saunders, Gail
Weber, Bonnie Johnson, Kathy
Mooney, Jenny Spencer, Debra
Yoshimura, Beth Daniel, Ok-
toberQuest '79 committee
chairpersons, Arts Council, and
participants in the Cornucopia
Luncheon for their outstanding
contributions. Your efforts were
greatly appreciated.

Dear Faculty, Staff, and
Students,

I would like to take this op-
portunity to thank everyone who
so generously donated time,
talent, and energy to the Ok-
toberquest. Those who loaned
their beds and served as guides

were especially appreciated by
our visitors. The reaction from
this year's group of prospective
students and their parents has
been, so far, positive. Ad-
mittedly, there were problems,
but on the whole, events
progressed smoothly. If you have
any suggestions for future im-
provements, or if you have a
specific complaint, please drop a
note in box 426. Again, thank
you all!
Sincerely,

Debra Yoshimura, Chairman,

Dear Editor:

Not long ago, the Music
Department sponsored a recital
at a Friday chapel program. I was
shocked at the number of people
in the audience who came in and
left while someone was
performing. It is polite to enter or
leave a recital only in between
pieces. Remember that the
performer is trying hard to
concentrate, and she is probably
a little nervous. Give her the
common courtesy of being a
good audience.

Trojan Women" A Huge Success

by Mary Beth Hebert

It is difficult not to feel guilty
when one pays only fifty cents to
see a play with the quality of
Euripides "The Trojan Women".
The Agnes Scott Blackfriars'
opening night production of the
play translated by Edith
Hamilton was without a doubt,
excellent.

I was immediately impressed
with the set which was, well,
indescribable. It did, however,
give me the feeling of being just
outside the walls of Troy.

The play is set after the fall of
Troy when the Greeks are taking
all the surviving Trojan women
as slaves. Carol Tveit was the
backbone of the play. The
strength of the character,
Hecuba, combined with the
power of her interpretation of
the role created a mood seldom
seen in college theatre produc-
tions of today. She and Ann D.
Harris (Andromache) would

alone have produced a
remarkable performance (with
all due credit to the oustanding
direction of John Toth).

The scene which most moved
me (and the rest of the audience
as well) was the one in which
Andromache must give up her
child to the Greeks so they may
kill him. Ann Harris' portrayal of
Andromache brought me, quite
literally, to tears. Volleen Anne
Hunter, the six year old that
plays Astyanax, Andromache's
son, is a heart-winner.

Other characters worthy of
congratulations were R. A
Schreiber (Menelaus) and Liz
Steele (Helen). Schreiber was
the only strong male actor (the
other were relatively weak). His
expressions beautifully com-
municated the dilemma which
Menelaus was in-loyalty to
Greece or lust for the beautiful
Helen.

Liz Steele (who won my heart
with 'The Lady Is a Tramp" in

"Babes in Arms") revealed a
thorough understanding of the
character and characteristics of
Helen. All in all, she was quite
believable (can any higher com-
pliment be paid a thespian?).

Women of Troy Sarah
Burleigh, Christine Silvio and
Marietta Townsend were first-
rate. The eight who played the
women of Troy acted as the
chorus and were on stage for
nearly the entire playnotan easy
task. The three previously men-
tioned maintained consistent
characters whether the atten-
tion was on them or not.

The play was by far the best I
have seen at ASC (admittedly, I
do not attend all Blackfriar
productions). But with this en-
couraging production, I am a
newsupporterforfity cents and a
couple of hours, you can hardly
lose. I only regret that this
review will appear after the play
has closed. It came highly
recommended.

HAVE MERCY YE GODS! plead the women of Troy in the clas-
sical Greek drama 'The Trojan Women." The Agnes Scott
College Blackfriars presents Euripides' anti-war play Oct. 26 and
27 and Nov. 2 and 3, and it was a huge success! It this is any in-
dication of future events, you need to get your tickets now!

"In Through The Our Door" Deserves 4 Stars

Buy a copy of In Through The

Tickets go on sale Monday,
October 8, at the Fabulous Fox
Theatre box office, 660
Peachtree Street, N.E., for "A
CHORUS LINE," the smash
Broadway musical hit which
celebrates the life of the "gypsy"

the name given to a dancer
who spends his or her life
trouping from show to show.
This American landmark
musical won 9 Tonys, a Pulitzer
Prize and numerous other
theatrical awards.

Originally conceived,
choreographed and directed by
Michael Bennett with book by
James Kirkwood and Nicholas
Dante, music by Marvin Hamlis-
ch, lyrics by Edward Kleban and
the assistance of Bob Avian as
co-choreographer, the musical
is a New York Shakespeare Fes-
tival Production in association

Through The Out Door is, in this
sense, a halfway album, paying
ten minutes of dues, then sliding
into amusing, derivative songs
that have no seriousness or sen-
sitivity.

Only "In The Evening" con-
tains a definitive guitar riff, one
that is primitive and insistent
and draws the listener into the
groove. "I'm Gonna Crawl"

with Plum Productions, and a

A preview performance will be
held Tuesday, November 6th
with the official press opening
Wednesday, November 7th at

ticket price of $3.00 off the
regular ticket price will be
offered Tuesday, November
6th; Wednesday, November
7th; Thursday, November 8th
and Friday, November 9th.
Tickets are limited to two (2)
per student.

The performance schedule
and ticket prices are as follows:
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Sunday, $15.50, $13.50,
$10.50. Friday, Saturday,
$16.50, $14.50, $11.50. Satur-

Holiday Special matinee Friday,

attempts a chord at the roots of
Zep's blue beginnings. Un-
fortunately, Robert Plant's
moanings for his "bay-bee"only
sound whining, not anguished.

"Carouselambra" rambles on
majestically, but it never
touches the lyrical depth of
"Stairway To Heaven" nor the
delicate sweetness of 'The Rain
Song".

The closest cut to a single, "All
My Love", is a genuine goody.

The string synthesizers
intertwine with Plant's vocals in
a real emotional tour de force,
but Jimmy Page's guitar solo is
only hinted at, never con-
summated. This is quite a
change from a band that

maestro excursions. However,
Jimmy's fingers get a workout
on "Hotdog ", a throwback to roc-
kabillly with some nifty picking.

Stuck in the middleof side one
are two takeoff s (they must be,
right?) on south of the border
music, "South Bound Saurez"
and "Fool In the Rain". Both
songs are incongruously
slapped together, i.e., mariachi
percussion, ragtime piano and
blues wailing suddenly jam
together in the middleof "Fool In
The Rain". John Bonham's
rhythm section is catchy, but
Plant's lyrics and phrasing are
misplaced.

In Through The Out Door
deserves four stars just for "In
The Evening ". The rest of the
album leaves this listener with
lots of questions: What is the
symbolic significance of the
cover artwork? Will Led Zepplin
continue this disjointed progres-
siveness? And whatever
happened to Jimmy Pages
guitar?-A. I.M .

Sheikh Urges Curb of Oil Consumption

by Lisa Wilson

On Saturday, October 20,
1979, Sheikh Ahmed Zaki
Yamani, the Minister of
Petroleum from the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia spoke at a meeting
of the Southern Center for
Internation Studies. The
purpose of the Center is to
educate business leaders from
all over the Southeast.

Sheikh Yamani was born in
Mecca. He has been the oil
minister of Saudi Arabia for 20
years and was selected as oil
minister by King Faisal. He
received degrees from Cairo,
Harvard, and Columbia
universities.

He urged the U.S. to curb oil

consumption. There are only 30
years of oil left in reserves.

Yamani said that oil production
is seasonal. This means that
when the oil companies do not
stock pile there may be
shortages during the winter. The
threat of a mid-east war could
hurt production. A rupture in oil
lines could affect production for
2-3 years. Yamani said
everyone must start conserving
immediately. He also said that
hopefully we can use nuclear
power or coal but there is a
future in solar energy.

Yamani said that the Camp
David agreement will not bring
about an over-all settlement.

The Saudi Arabians stopped

most aid to Egypt because they
are wa iting for Sadat to convince
Begin to comply to a Palestinian
peace. Yamani also believes it is
the duty of the Jewish-American
community to put pressure on
the Israeli government.

Yamani also said that the

whole Egyptian army is supplied
and trained by the Soviets. The
Egyptians hate the Russians but
the U.S. will not sell them arms.

Yamani also said that the
Soviets have no interest in peace
and are constantly up to mis-
chief in the mideast but he feels

they will cease to be interested
in the mideast.

The Saudi Arabians have a 5
year plan focusing on expansion
of production and
diversification. They also plan to
be the major exporter of
minerals by the end of this cen-
tury.

Clearing UpThe Mystery of Tenure

by Mary Beth Hebert

For some reason, the word
"tenure" seems to hold a certain
measure of mystery at Agnes
Scott. This mystery is really just
our ignorance of a basically sim-
ple process.

To begin with, a definition of
tenure may be in order Quite
simply, tenure is a state of con-
tinuous appointment. Barring
any unfortunate circumstances,
a tenured professor is assured of

a position until his/her
retirement (there have been no
dismissals of tenured professors
at ASC in Dean Gary's 22 years
here). However, a tenured
faculty member is not required
to stay at Agnes Scott.

The procedure begins with a
committee from the department
or related departments of the
person in question. The com-
m rttee and Dean Gary give their

recommendations to President
Perry who, in turn, makes a
recommendation (usually, but
not necessarily, based on the
recommendations he was given)
to the Board of Trustees. The
ultimate decision is made by the
boa rd .

In order to be considered for
tenure at ASC a faculty member
must have taught for seven
years at least the last four of

which must have been at Agnes
Scott. This time is referred to as
a probationary period.

At Agnes Scott, approximately
65% of our faculty are tenured.

Unlike some schools, we hc've
no quotas for tenured faculty.

Who's been here the longest?

Well, Ms. Zenn came to Scott in
1 947 . Others worthy of mention

are Ms. Sheats (since '49), Mr.
Martin (since '50) and Ms. Pepe
(since '51 ) If you want to know
how long a particular professor
has been here, check the back of
your catalog.

For more information on the
tenure process, see the ASC
faculty by-laws (Rep Council has
a copy)

Behan, Parry Participating
In Professional Programs

Mr David P Behan is on the
program for the Eighth Hume
Conference to be held at Rutgers
University in early November.
The Conference is the annual
meeting of the Hume Society, a
group devoted to the study of the

works of the British philosopher
of the eighteenth century, David
Hume. Mr. Behan will comment
on a paper entitled "The Unquiet
Mind," to be given by Professor
Fay Sawyier of the Illinois
Institute of Technology. Mr.

Summer Study In
Marburg Offered

by Colleen Flaxington

Many of you may have noticed
the colorfu I display column, with
its many scenes of Germany, in
the lobby of the dining hall. This
is one indication that the
German Department of Agnes
Scott College is already busily
preparing for its fourth trip to
Germany.

If you have had one year of
college German, you are
welcome to participate in the
summer program at the
University of Marburg It is a
great way to fulfill, in just six
short weeks, the second year
foreign language requirement.

For the more advanced student,
a variety of courses in German
language, literature and culture
will be offered, all for college
credit

"One of the advantages of our

program," said Gunther
Bicknese, director of the trip to
Marburg, "is that our group is so
small, we become almost like a
family. Another important con-
sideration is that the cost of the
trip is lower than what a student
would usually have to pay
elsewhere, yet it is all-in-
clusive."

The trip is not to be only study
and no play. Numerous field trips
are planned, including a
weekend stay at romantic
Rothenburg, Bavaria. In ad-
dition, you may choose to take
the optional European tour; two
weeks spent visiting the
timeless cities of Prague,
Berime, Munich and Vienna

More information about this
exciting opportunity to visit and
learn in Germany is available at
the display column in the dining
hall

Behan will also give a paper at
the Emory Philosophy
Department's Colloquium. The
title of the paper is "A Minimum
Condition for Privacy" and will
be given on November 9, at 4
p.m., Room 102 White Hall.

Mr. Richard D. Parry will give a
paper at the American
Philosophical Association,
which is meeting in New York
from December 28 through 30.

The paper is entitled 'The Craft
Analogy in the Early Dialogues
and Republic l-IV." The title
refers to a theme in the
dialogues in which Plato com-
pares virtue or excellence to a
craft, e.g., medicine According
to the paper, understanding the
analogy is central to understan-
ding Plato's moral philosophy. In
the Platonic view of morality, the
good person is one who leads a
life of excellence. The good
person achieves this excellence
by becoming the craftsman of
his own soul, bringing order and
harmony into the parts of his life.

The paper shows how Plato
develops the theme of the craft
of excellence; in doing so. the
paper advances and corrects
some recent scholarship in the
area Some of the research for
the paper was done during a
sabbatical leave from the
college

HEW Awards Funds For Graduate Study

HEW Secretary Patricia
Roberts Harris on Monday, Oct.
22, announced the award of
nearly $8 million to 1 08 colleges
and universities to assist
minority and women students in
graduate and professional study.

"Minorities and women

traditionally have been
underrepresented in graduate
and professional fields," Harris
said. 'These grants will help
substantially to alleviate the im-
ba lance.''

The Graduate and Profes-
sional Opportunities program

funds were awarded to
postsecondary institutions in 38
states and the District of Colum-
bia for use in the 1979-80
academic year. Of the total, $6,-
772,100 will support 324 con-
tinuing and 550 new
fellowships. The remainder, $1 ,-
114,286, will be used by 50 of

Outside: The Susan B. Anthony Coin

by Marcia Whetsel

The new Susan B. Anthony
dollar, according to recent
Gallup polls, is not widely liked
by Americans. The coin, which is
almost the size of a quarter, was
approved and authorized for
production by Congress and
President Carter in October
1978.

Nationwide, of the nine in ten
Americans who have heard of
the coin, 66 percent dislike it,
while 1 5 percent say they like it.

Another 19 percent are not yet
judging the coin. The survey
showed that 23% of American
adults have seen or handled one
of the new coins.

The main reasons given by
those who disliked the new
dollar are:

-Looks and feels too much like
the quarter
-Does not seem worth a dollar
-Prefer paper money

-A waste of the taxpayers'
money

The key reasons given by
those who like the coin are:

-Easy to handle

-Not as bulky to carry around

-A woman's face on it.

(Taken from Today, Oct. 26,
1979, "Why Most Americans
Not Crazy About Suzie.")

the institutions for recruiting,
counseling, special orientation,
and other student services.

Minorities and women plan-
ning to teach at the postsecon-
dary level and those planning
careers in other professions of
national importance are eligible
to apply for the fellowships.

Selections are made by the
participating education
institutions.

Each fellow receives a stipend
of $3,900 for a 1 2-month period
of study and the institution
receives an allowance in the
same amount to cover the cost of
tuition and fees. Both the
stipends and the institutional

allowances are prorated for
courses lasting less than 12
months. If the course is of longer
duration, the student is eligible
for a continuing fellowship.

These awards will support
fellows in approximately 50
areas of study ranging from law,
engineering, and architecture to
the social, physical, biological,
and medical health sciences.

The Graduate and Profes-
sional Opportunities program is
authorized in Title IX, Parts A
and B, of the amended Higher
Education Act of 1965 and ad-
ministered by the Office of
Education's Bureau of Higher
and Continuing Education.

Academy of American Poets
Begins Janef Preston Contest

This year's contest for the an-
nua I prize of $ 1 00 offered by The
Academy of American Poets for
the best poem or group of poems
is now open, and manuscripts
are being accepted in the
English Department. The winner
will be announced in the spring.

The Academy of American
Poets' University and College
Prize Program was founded in
1955, with 10 colleges
participating. Now, in its 25th
anniversary year, over 100
colleges and universities
throughout the country are tak-
ing part Made possibly by
special gifts to the Academy, the

competition was conceived to
encourage interest among
college and university students
in fine poetry and its writing. The
AAP is very proud of the record
of the program: no College Prize,
once established, has ever
lapsed.

Although the contests are
judged locally, they partake of
national prestige. Over the
years, winners such as Sylvia
Plath, Gregory Orr, Louise
Gluck, Tess Gallagher, Heather
McHugh, and Stan Rice have
won AAP College Prizes before
going on to attain national

reputations.

Each contest is sponsored for
a five-year term. The prizes are
supported by donors particularly
interested in young writers or in
the colleges and universities, by
the schools themselves, or by
anonymous gifts made through
the Academy. Please leave sub-
missions with Mr. Barton or Mr.
Ball by March 1, 1980.

TRANSFER STUDENTS: ACADEMIC TRANSFUSIONS

by Julie Babb
and

Cameron Bennett

Denise Peek, a sophomore
transfer student from the
University of Georgia, came to
Agnes Scott because of its small
size. The university lacked the
small classes and individual
attention Agnes Scott offers

Denise "loves" Agnes Scott and
plans to major in creative
writing She would like to
become involved in more cam-
pus activities during winter
quarter, perhaps Blackfriars and
the literary magazine, Aurora.

She lives off campus but Denise
has only a 15 minute ride from
nearby Lithonia.

Katie Miller, a third generation
Scottie in her family, transferred
from Southern Method ist
University (SMU) in Dallas She
is a sophomore who plans an
interdepartmental major in Art
History and English. Katie
transferred after two and a half
weeks as a sophomore advisor to
freshmen She decided that
Agnes Scott, her original choice
before SMU, was her best
choice Katie really likes Agnes
Scott and its academic at-
mosphere as compared to
SMU's predominantly social at-
mosphere Katie and her room-
mate, also a transfer, live in Hop-
kins and feel like they have not
really had the chance to become
involved However, Katie really
enjoyed Black Cat and all of its
activities and she wants to get
involved in various
organ izations.

Navara Wallace, a Fine Arts

major from Corinth, Mississippi,
is a junior. She came from
Lambeth College in Jackson,
Tennessee. Lambeth was not
really the college for Navara but
she feels like maybe Agnes Scott
is. Navara hopes to get involved
with theater more.

Marian Cottingim is a transfer
student from Columbus College
in Columbus, Ga. Her classstan-
dmg is a unique one. Although
Marian attended Columbus
College for one year only, last
spring she was classified as a
junior. This was a result of
Marian's earning 103 hours of
credit; 10 hours in high school,
40 hours from exemption tests,
and 53 hours of classroom
study. In the transfer, Marian
lost much of the credit and is
now a sophomore lacking some
freshman hours. Next year
Marian will be a junior.

Marian has found Agnes Scott
very different from Columbus
College. Because Columbus
College was basically a com-
muting college and Marian lived
at home, college was a lot like
high school Also, Marian rarely
had to study and that has
definitely changed! Now she
studies allthetime. Marian, who
likes Agnes Scott, is a math-
music major.

Andrea Baird is another
transfer student. She is from
Clayton Junior College in
Morrow, Ga Andrea, who won a
scholarship to Clayton, lived at
home and commuted to Clayton.

When Andrea was asked how
she liked Agnes Scott, she
replied "I love it!" She really en-
pys the college community at-
mosphere and was involved in

the recent Black Cat production.
Andrea is a junior and is ma-
joring in sociology.

Kathy Drake is currently a
sophomore at Agnes Scott. She
is from McRae, Georgia and
attended Tift College during her
freshman year.

Kathy has always wanted to
attend Scott, but the full
Presidential Scholarship offered
her at Tift, a small women's
college, greatly influenced her
decision. She spent one year at
Tift, but decided Agnes Scott

was where she belonged, and
transferred.

Kathy cites several reasons for
her decision. Among others was
the strict curfew for all students
which was enforced at Tift. She
also enjoys the many ad-
vantages of living so close to
Atlanta and is looking forward to
seeing plays and an improved
social life. Most importantly,
Kathy feels that Scott can offer
her a superior education.

Janet Hulsey is a sophomore
at Agnes Scott. She attended

DeKalb College last year, but
began fall quarter here at Scott

Jar.et graduated in the fall of
1 978, one year head of her class
During the fall of 1978, she
attended both high school and
DeKalb College. When she
graduated, she became a full
time student at DeKalb and
chose to finish the year there.

She enjoys Scott and feels it is
more difficult than DeKalb,
which to her was like a "big high
school".

All of our transfers are
welcomed by the entire Profile
staff.

Convocation Traditions Explored

by Mary Beth Hebert

For those of you who have sat
through many a mandatory con-
vocation wondering what (or
who) determines the orderof the
academic processional or why
all the robes aren't the same,
read on.

After President Perry and the
deans, the first position in the
academic processional belongs
to the full professor who was
first appointed full professorship
(not necessarily the professor
who has been here the longest).
In our case, this place is filled by
Ms. Drucker. She is followed by
all of the full professors in the
order in which they received
their full-professorships. Then
follow the associate professors,

assistant professors, and
instructors and lecturers. Each
of these ranks is ordered as the
full professors' rank, by length of
time the title has been held.

The academic robes are con-
siderably more complicated than
one might suppose. To begin
with, all bachelors and masters
robes are black and untrimmed,
the only difference being a slight
one in the sleeves of the two.
Doctoral robes are trimmed with
velvet around the neck, down
the front center, and with three
stripes on the sleeves (the latter
trim called chevrons). Though
the trim is usually black,
different colors of trim indicate
different types of doctorals (for

Plans For A Symposium
The Ethics Of Scarcity

A complex world, facing the
realization of increasing
population and finite resources,
must recognize that many of
these resources are becoming
increasingly scarce. One of the
major questions society will en-
counter is how these resources
will be allocated as the age of
relative material abundance
draws to a close. How these
resources will be allocated will
be a function of political and
economic systems. But to exist
in a moral society, many other
questions should also be ad-
dressed, preferably prior to
allocation decisions. These
questions involve sociological,
technological, ethical, religious,
and ecological aspects of our
civilization.

We plan to sponsor a two-day
symposium in January 1981 to
bring together persons of
interdisciplinary interests
relevant to the topic of scarcity,
and have them discuss the im-
plications of limited resources
on future human endeavors. Our
target audience for these dis-
cussions is the Atlanta
metropolitan area adult com-

munity, including the Agnes
Scott College community. We
hope that this symposium will
point to alternative resources,
changes in current consumption
patterns, and suggestions for
lifestyle changes which could
alter the degree of scarcity

The symposium will open and
close with major speeches by
two people from the following
list: Barry Commoner, Barbara
Ward, Ralph Nader, Amory
Lovins, Barbara Jordan, Andrew
Young, or William Coffin, Jr. In
between, we will hold panel dis-
cussions with participants such
as Lynton Caldwell, Herman
Daly, Nicholas Georgescu-
Roegen, Joseph Lowery, James
Mackay, David Orr, Eugene
Odum, and Erik van Loon.

We hope to obtain funding
from the Georgia Committee for
the Humanities and the S & H
Foundation . Agnes Scott College
will also provide a substantial
amount of financial support and
support in kind for the
symposium.

example, blue for a doctorate of
philosophy, light blue for
education, green for medicine,
pink for sacred music). Doctoral
robes are not always black,
however. Many schools have
decided to use different colors
such as Harvard's crimson (and
you thought President Perry
wore red because he was the
president!), the blue of Yale, and
Emory's blue and gold (a fairly
recent innovation).

Lest all of this has confused
you, one may determine the
level of the degree, the area (art
or science) and the school from
which the degree was received
from observing only the hood.

The velvet border of the
bachelor's or master's hood is
white if the degree is of arts
(B. A. or M . A. ) or gold if the
degree is of science (B.S. or
M.S.). Doctoral hood borders
usually agree in color with their

robe trim. The lining of the hood
(usually satin) is done in the
school colors. The hood length is
longer than a master's or
bachelor's)

Would you like to know what
you'll look like on that big day?
Your robe will be black, with long
sleeves and untrimmed. Your
hood will be trimmed in white
velvet and lined with purple and
white satin. Sounds beautiful
doesn't it?l

HOCKEY JOCKEYS PLEASED WITH RESULTS

by Nicole Pretlow

The Agnes Scott Hockey Team
confronted the University of the
South and Vanderbilt University
at Sewanee, Tennessee on
Saturday, October 20. The
respective starting times were
9:30 and 11:00, with Agnes
Scott coach, Miss Kate
McKemie, officiating. Agnes
Scott's lineup positioned a
strong defense - aided greatly by
many returning members. The
defense lists as follows: Dixie
Washington {.CH); Lydia Reasor

(LH); Amy Potts and Becky
Moorer alternating as RH;
Paxson Collins (RF); and Millie
Pinnell (LF) with Pam Rowley as
alternate LF.

This year's offense fillef its
positions with new freshman
vitality tempered by the
experience of returning offense
player Lisa Lee (LW). Remaining
offense lists as follows: Amy
Potts and Becky Moorer
alternating for CF; Nicole
Pretlow (LT); Malinda Spratt(RI);
and Katie Blanton (RW). The
team's goalie is Kathy (King

Kong) Stearns. Despite aggres-
sive field work Agnes Scott lost
the f irst game to Sewanee with a
score of 3:1. Scott's goal was
made by (CF) Amy Potts with an
assist by Lisa Lee.

Determined to hold the line
against Vanderbilt U., Agnes
Scott pulled a team effort result-
ing in a tie of 1:1. Scott's goal
was scored by (LI) Nicole

SENIORS MAKE BIG SPLASH ... IN CAREER PLANNING

by Shannon Perrin

The intramural swim meet
was held Wednesday night, Oct.
1 7 The Freshman Class had the
best turnout and won the meet
with a sco#e of 32. The
sophomores came in second
with a score of 17, and the
juniors came in third with 16.

The events included the 40
yard butterfly, won by
sophomore Marjorie Sivewright,
the 40 yard freestyle, won by
freshmen Rtfbecca Craven, the
40 yard backstroke, won by
junior Sarah Campbell, the 40
yard breaStroke, won by
freshman Joy Johnson, and

some relays. The highlight of the
night was the comic relay in
which the participants swam
with lit candles and sat in inner

tubes.

The freshmen were well
represented. The sophomores
also had a good turnout, but
there was only one junior
present. Sarah Campbell
deserves a gold star for her
solitary support of the Junior
Class. Get out there and help her
next time, juniors! Unfortunately
the Senior Class was not
represented due to a Career
Planning meeting. This class has

only suffered one defeat. The
other classes missed their usual
arresting performance.

Wa I lace Stegner Visits; Reads Works

by Wendy Brooks and Laurie
McBrayer

Pulitzer Prizewinner Wallace
Stegner, author of the freshmen
orientation book The Spectator
Bird, addressed captive
audiences on Wednesday.

He spoke during convocation,
conversed with students and
faculty in the hub during the
afternoon and read from his
most recent novel in the
evening.

During convocation he dis-
cussed the relation between
reality and fiction. He explained
the process of writing a novel
and noted that pieces of reality
contained in a story are there for
a purpose. Mr. Stegner des-
cribed himself as a "low-key
realist" and admitted that he
was "partly Joe Allston," the
main character of The Spec-
tator Bird. However, he warned
readers not to look for
autobiographical or biographical
inserts in fiction.

Wednesday evening Mr.
Stegner read from
Recapitulation, a novel that he
called "a recapitulation of what
a character named Mason des-
cribes as an unedited newsreel
of his life."

Wallace Stegner was born on
February 1 8, 1 909, in Lake Mills
Iowa, and grew up in Sas-
katchewan and Utah. He
received his BA. from the
University of Utah and his Ph.D.
from the University of Iowa.

Afterteaching at the universities
of Utah and Wisconsin and at
Harvard, he joined the English
faculty at Stanford University in
1946 and was director of Stan-
ford's creative writing program
until his retirement.

Stegner was first recognized
as an important contemporary
writer after the critical and
popular success of his fourth
novel, The Big Rock Candy
Mountain. Other novels
followed, and Stegner's Angel
of Repose received the Pulitzer
Prize in 1971, while the Spec-
tator Bird received the National
Book Award. He has also

published two volumes of short
stories, The Women on the Wall
and The City of the Living.

In addition to his novels,
Stegner has produced a notable
and varied body of non-fiction.

Beyond the Hundredth

Meridian is a biography of John
Wesley Powell, the first explorer
of the Grand Canyon, but it is
also a history of the territory ac-
quired in the Mexican Cession.

Stegner's interest in Western
History is also shown in his The
Gathering of Zion, a history of
the Mormon Trail, Wolf Willow,
and the Sound of Mountain
Water. One Nation received the
Anisfield - Wolfe award for the
year's best book on race
relations; Discovery tells the
story of the establishment of
petroleum products in Saudi
Arabia by employees of the
California Arabian Standard Oil

Company during the 1930'sand
the second World War.

Stegner's long association with
Bernard DeVito resulted in the
highly acclaimed biography of
DeVito, The Uneasy Chair, as
well as an edition of The Letters
of Bernard Devito.

Commenting on the difficulty
of reading the novel aloud,
Slegner noted that the clues
to character, plot and theme
wh ich the reader discovers as he
goes through a novel must be
discovered to the auditor by the
reader. This naturally causesdif-
ficulties and in fact, "the better

the novel is, the harder it is to
read aloud from." Stegner noted
that he writes and likes quiet
novels. He is not trying, he said,
to lure away readers of hard porn
or thrillers. "I don't consider
readers like that real readers at
all." Rather, Stegner thinks of
his readers as those once des-
cribed by Frank O'Connor: "a
man in a comfortable armchair,
with whom the author es-
tablishes a comfortable relation-
ship, closser and even more in-
timate than the reader es-
tablishes with his closest
friends. Such readers are look-
ing in novels for some
illumination of their own lives."

NEH Awards Challenge Grant
To Increase Endowment

Agnes Scott College has been
awarded a $250,000 challenge
grant from the National En-
dowment for the Humanities,
Agnes Scott President Marvin B.

The college must raise $750,-

Counts

by Marcia Whetsel

Not long ago a young woman
in Denver phoned the Census
Bu rea u and asked how she cou Id
find out the number of un-
married men in her city. The
Bureau said that they could sup-
ply that information, broken
down by neighborhood, if she so
desired. Fantastic, she said, and
can you tell me the
neighborhoods where the men
are young and wealthy?

On Tues., April 1, 1980 the
new census will officially begin,
compiling information that is
used daily everywhere in the
United States.

The Constitutional purpose of
the census is to provide a basis
for reapportionment among the
states of seats in the House of
Representatives, but the in-
formation gathered is used in

many other ways. Census data
also are used to guide the dis-
tribution of billions of dollars in
Federal funds to states and local
governments and the dis-
tribution of individual state
funds. In Illinois, a real estate
firm uses census data to give
interested home buyers an
instant mini-profile of prospec-
tive neighborhoods. In large
cities, such as Atlanta and San
Francisco, transportation
planners rely on census in-
formation when selecting bus
routes, subway stops, and
highways that need widening.

The Census will count all
residents of the U.S., Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the trust
Territories of the Pacific Islands.

The census is expected to count
approximately 222 million

people and 86 million housing
units.

About four out of five
households will be asked to take
1 5 to 20 minutes and answer 19
questions on the short version of
the questionnaire. The remain-
ing households will answer the
longer version with 46 ad-
ditional questions. About 90
percent of the households will
be asked to mail back their com-
pleted questionnaire, while the
remaining 10 percent will be
insturcted to keep their com-
pleted questionnaires until cen-
sus takers pick them up.

The questions will be con-
fidentially processed in Indiana,
Louisiana, and California, and
then the data will be transmitted
to computers in Suitland,

match the grant. The challenge
grant and matching funds will
add $1,000,000 to the en-
dowment of the college.

'This grant is a heartening ad-
dition to Agnes Scott's am-
bitious fund raising plans, which
call for major increases in the
resources of the college in the
next few years," President Perry
stated.

Agnes Scott is the only
women's college in Georgia to
be awarded an NEH grant. Only
two institutions in Georgia
received grants, Agnes Scott
and Emory University. A total of
212 institutions nationwide ap-

plied for the 101 NEH grants.

According to President Perry,
Agnes Scott will use its grant
money for professional
development of the humanities
faculty and for the expansion of
book acquisitions in the
humanities for the library. At
Agnes Scott the humanities en-
compass courses in an-
thropology, Bible and religion,
Greek and Latin language and
literature, English and American
literature; French, German and
Spanish language and
literature; history, political
science, philosophy and
sociology.

Kemper's Corner

Welcome back, everyone! To
me, Winter Quarter means gain-
ing twenty pounds, getting the
"winter quarter blahs", and sit-
ting around remembering all the
funny, stupid things I did fall
quarter. (Freshmen, remember
those FUN blind dates?) In an ef-
fort to eliminate the blahs, Rep
Council has some surprises
planned for winterquarter. Keep
your eyes open and watch for
wierd things to happen.

Rep Council will be having a
party for all students, faculty, ad-
ministration, and valentines on

Valentine's Day. Everyone
should dress up as something
they love and come to the hub to
get a valentine from Rep Coun-
cil.

Winter Weekend is January
25-27. Social Council is spon-
soring a TGIF party on Friday,
January 25 and Winter Formal
on Saturday, January 26. Elisa
Norton reports that there is a
surprise in the making for the
morning of Saturday the 26th. It
looks like Winter Weekend will
be exciting, so everyone grab a

Heat Facilities
Showing Their Age

We received a letter from the
President last quarter concern-
ing the energy problem facing us
today. Phrases such as "wear
sweaters" and "bear with it"
prevail. Yet, the only place
anyone must bear with it is But-
trick our newly renovated
modern wonder. In the mean-
time Main dormitory and pos-
sibly others, swelter in steam
heat while windows remain
open and fans are turned on.

There seems to be a con-
tradiction here.

It is inconceivable that jack-
frost - nipping-at-our-noses in
the classrooms can be con-
dusive to learning. It is difficult to

write with gloves, and profes-
sors seem to get a funny feeling
when all the students in the
class puttheircoatsbackon dur-
ing the lecture.

In the older dorms however
extreme heat induces sleep or
heavy drowsiness. Neither mix
with studying.

We have all been told of the
peculiarities of our heating
system. But what we are saving
in Buttrick, we are throwing out
the windows in the dorms . . .
literally.

Perhaps heating should top
the list of "things to be
renovated" in the future.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The follow-

sentto Dean Julia Gary from the
AMERICAN RED CROSS. The
Profile would like to
congratulate faculty, students,
and administration for working
to get funds for these desperate
people.

We have a volunteer Red
Cross who handles the ac-
counting for all disaster con-

tributions. Recently she in-
formed me of a contribution of
$836 from some students and
facu Ity at Ag nes Scott for the vic-
tims in Southeastern Asia.

She was unable to get the
names of any of the students and
therefore we have no one to
thank. We will, of course,
forward the funds to the
International Red Cross for dis-
bursement in Southeastern Asia
but in the meantime I wanted

someone at the school to know.

I have always been impressed
with the Agnes Scott community
and this only confirms that
esteem. If you have any op-
portunity, please convey our
thanks and appreciation to them.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Martha F. Westlake

Protect Yourself!

by Colleen Flaxington

"My personal definition of
self-defense is if a woman gets
away and maintains her
integrity," says Marianna Kauf-
man, who gave a demonstration
in the Agnes Scott Dining Hall on
Jan. 7 showing how we can
defend ourselves against the
very real posibility of personal
attack or rape. Ms. Kaufman
holds a first degree black belt in
Karate and has experience as an
instructor of self-defense
techniques. She feels the most
important thing for women to
learn is that they are not
helpless in an attack.

The exciting part is that Ms.
Kaufman will be back during the
weekend of Jan. 1 9-20 to give a
workshop concerned with
physical and non-physical self-
defense. She has designed and
developed the course over a
period of several years. It in-
cludes basic karate, information
about rapists and rape, ways to
break out of holds, and defenses
against weapons and multiple
attackers. She also teaches
ways to avoid dangerous
situations.

Lane Tatum, writing for the
Paideia School Forum, recalls,
"During the course, I felt
negative about some of her
techniques of defense. I just
couldn't see myself ripping
someone's ear off or poking
someone's eye out." Then she
was walking home alone late
one night and realized she was
in a vulnerable situation. To

defend herself, she found a
heavy stick, and continued
walking, looking right into the
eyes of anyone she met, and
walking quickly on without look-
ing back. She writes, "I felt safe
and now I feel really good about
protecting myself. I took what I
thought I could use from the
course and I feel confident about
it."

Agnes Scott faculty member
Terry McGehee has also taken a
self-protection course from
Marianna Kaufman. She urges
Agnes Scott students to
participate. "Any woman who
doesn't take a self-defense
course is doing herself an injus-
tice. Ms. Kaufman's course left
me mentally as well as
physically prepared for an at-
tack."

Thoreau writes, "Fear Creates
Danger, and Courage Dispels It."
Just the peach of mind that
comes from having taken such a
course is worth the $20 and the
time it takes to attend. There is
space for only 15 students and 5
women faculty and/or staff
members, and places will be
given on a first come, first
service basis. The self-defense
workshop, sponsored by Work-
ing for Awarness, will be held
from 10:00 - 4:00 on Jan. 19th,
and from 10:00 - 2:00 on Jan.
20th in the Agnes Scott
Gymnasium. To register, call
Ellen Anderson at 373-6025.
Limited Scholarships are
available. Do something you will
never regret. Protect yourself.

Today And Tomorrow

by Laurie McBrayer

Just recently, a book titled
Women on Top, written by Jane
Adams, was published. The book
contains interviews with sixty
women whom Ms. Adams
perceives as successful. In her
book, she discusses the common
characteristics of these women:

'Their ultimate aim is to achieve

a satisfying balance between
family and career: to be caring
and powerful, loving and in-
fluential, feminine and
independent. To progress
beyond the traditional male
definition of success."

Because Agnes Scott is a
college designed to prepare

career-oriented women for life,
it seems appropriate to note
women in this nation who have
reached goals similar to the ones
ASC students have set for
themselves.

Pipes Silenced in Gaines

by Raymond J. Martin

Professor of Music
and College Organist

The organ in Gaines Chapel
was constructed in 1940 for
then-new Presser Hall by Austin
Organs, Incorporated, of
Hartford, Connecticut. For
several years it was the largest
organ in this area, and was the
instrument on which recitals
were played by many artists, in-
cluding Virgil Fox, Marcel
Dupre', and E. Power Biggs. The
organ has played an important
role in Agnes Scott College
chapel services, convocations,
and official ceremonial events
for almost forty years;
generations of music students
have received organ training on
that instrument. It has served us
well.

Aside from age the organ has
many problems, most of which
stem from long-term water
damage incurred over a period of
years from a leaking roof. A few
days following the 1979
Commencement Weekend, a
leather "blowout" occured in
the right side portion of the
organ in the regulator, or
reservoir, which furnishes the
necessary wind wupply. At a
nominal cost this was repaired
in time for the opening of school
this year. Unfortunately, in early
September a much more exten-
sive blowout occured in the
leather of the other side of the
organ. It is of such magnitude
that even a temporary patch
would cost more than a
thousand dollars. The patch
could not be applied until all the
pipes from that side are
removed.

The College is exploring the
possibility of a complete
rehabilitation of the insturment
by Austin, who would replace
the worn out parts, bring usable
pipe work up to date, and im-
prove the overall tonal scheme.
This would cost approximately
$150,000. (The original
instrument in 1940 cost $15,-
400I) If financial grants are
made available for such a
purpose, a contract will be
negotiated with the organ firm,
and the instrument should be
finished within eighteen mon-

ths. The alternative is to rectify
temporarily the existing
problem, and hope the
instrument will be playable until
necessary funding for
rehabilitation can be found.

Meanwhile, we plan to use the
1970 Schlicker organ in
Maclean Auditorium for con-

vocations held in Gaines, this
was the procedure followed at
Senior Investiture. We ap-
preciate the patience and
understanding of the College
Community during this period
when the Gaines organ is suffer-
ing from, what President Perry
has aptly described as, "organic
emphysema."

Philosophy Colloquium Plans Announced

During the winter quarter the
Philosophy Department holds a
Philosophy Colloquium. The
Colloquium invites speakers
from off campus to present talks
and panels on a topic of interest
to the college community. This
year's topic is Faith and Reason;
the Colloquium will explore the
relation between religious faith,
expecially Christian faith, and
the demands and workings of
reason. There have been, of
course, various positions taken
on the relation between the two.
Some believe that religious faith
and reason are incompatible:
either one has faith and counts
the claims of reason as basically
corrupt or one follows the
workings of reason and dis-
misses religious faith as
delusion. Finally, there hasbeen
a tradition which tries to recon-
cile the two attitudesof faith and
reason.

The speakers for this year's
colloquium are from three
different campus and are a dis-
tinguished and varied set.

Professor Frederick Ferre' is
presently the Charles A. Dana
Professor of Philosophy at Dic-
kinson College; he will assume
the chairmanship of the
Department of Philosophy and
religion at the University of
Georgia next year. Professor
Ferre' has published widely in
the area of the philosophy of
religion. Professor Don Saliers is
on the faculty of the Candler
School of Theology; he has
published in the areas of
philosophical theology and
philosophy of religious
language. Professor Brian
Armstrong is an Associate Dean
of Arts and Sciences at Georgia
State University as well as a
member of the History
Department. Professor
Armstrong has done research on
the religious movements of the
seventeenth century and done
work on the philosopher
theologian, Pierre Bayle.

The format of the Colloquium
includes a talk by each

participant and a panel dis-
cussion, involving all the
participants, at the end of the
two day sessions. The dates for
this year's colloquium are 20
and 21 February; sessions are
held in the late afternoon and
early evening. The Colloquium

submits a bibliography of
readings to the instructor; these
bibliographies, as well as
background chosen by the
instructor, form the material for
the course.

Adult Education Increases

ETS, PRINCETON, N.J. A new

educational trend is slowly tak-
ing shape throughout the United
Statesadult education or, as
some call it, "lifelong learning."

No longer is education being
viewed as just for the young.
Instead, it is increasingly being
seen as an activity to be enjoyed
throughout life.

'The term 'lifelong learning' is
really meant to embrace learn-
ing from the cradle tothe grave,"
said Dr. K. Patricia Cross, a
research scientistat Educational
Testing Service (ETS) in
Berkeley, Calif. "In practice,
however, most people talking
about lifelong learning are
primarily concerned with adult
learning because adults present
the new wrinkle in education."

Cross said it is an old-
fashioned notion that adults
have left their school days
behind forever. The enrollment
of adults is rising, especially in
community colleges, and
research conducted for the Com-
mission on Nontraditional Study
indicates that there is a massive
move on the part of colleges to
attract adult learners.

"By recent estimates, one of
every four adults is currently in-
volved in some kind of organized
learning activity," Cross said.
"Experts expect that by the year
2000, when adults over 30 will

make up the majority of the
population, even more adults
will be involved in some form of
continuing education.

"Colleges and universities are
particularly interested in adult
learners, both because the
traditional 18-year-old college
student is a diminishing com-
modity and because the greatest
demand for further educational
opportunity comes primarily
from adults with at least a high
school education," she said.

Today, more than 80 percent
of people between 20 and 24 are
high school graduates. This
represents a significant increase
over the number of their parents
and grandparents who earned
high school diplomas.

And the more formal
education an adult has, Cross
said, the more likely he or she is
to seek additional education. A
college graduate, for example, is
about eight times as likely as a
high school dropout to
participate in adult education.

But adults seeking new learn-
ing experiences are not limited
to those enrolling in colleges. In
the 1970 s, Cross pointed out,
the number of adults attending
adult schools, employer-spon-
sored training programs, or
classes sponsored by churches,
community organizations and
similar groups increased three

times as fast as their numbers in
the population.

While many adults pursue
learning for personal satis-
faction, others need it to keep up
with technological advances in
their fields.

"This means that no
education will last a lifetime,"
Cross said. "In many career
fields the rate of obsolescence is
now pegged at between five and
ten years."

The tendency of states and
professional licensing agencies
to mandate continuing
education for professionals,
from accountants to
veterinarians, is another sign of
the need for lifelong learning. In
California, for instance, certified
public accountants must take 80
hours of additional education
every two years in order to retain
their licenses.

Cross said that after a long
history of moving steadily
toward a linear life plan in which
all life had been divided into
three full-time phases of
education for th young, work for
the middle-aged and enforced
leisure for the elderly, things
appear to be changing.

"Now people from all walks of
life seem to be opting for a
blended life plan that permits
learning, work and leisure to go
on concurrently," she said.

Vince Cater of C&S Bank will discuss
international banking with any interested
students on Wednesday, January 16, from
6:30 to 8.00 p.m. in McKinney Date Parlour.
He will cover frequently asked questions

pertaining to qualifications for entry-level
jobs, educational preparation, the demands
of this career field and the occupational
outlook for women. Plan to attend I

talents of ASC students and of
professional women who have
visited the campus. This custom
must be continued; however,
now is also the time to recognize
women of this country who have
made it to the top.

The November issue of the
Ladies' Home Journal, a
magazine with the motto "never
underestimate the power of a
woman"cited eleven women (all
past women of the year award
winners) "who have helped
shaped the seventies."

The list inlcudes the late
Margaret Mead, a trailblazer in
science and research, plus ten
women who continue to con-
tribute to society via their in-
dividual talents and/or
interests. Included in the roster
are: Marian Anderson (Creative
Arts), Joan Ganz Cooney
(Education), Betty Ford
(Inspirational Leadership), Helen
Hayes (Arts and Humanities),
Katherine Hepburn (Creative
Arts), Barbara Jordan (Political

Life), Sylvia Porter (Business and
Economics), Elisabeth Kubler
Ross (Science and Research),
Beverly Sills (Performing Arts),
and Barbara Walters (Com-
munications).

What is outstanding about
these women is that they have
dedicated themselves to their
careers, yet also have had the
time to raise a fimily or pursue
other interests. For example,
Ms. Sills is the national
chairperson of the March of
Dimes' Mothers' Match on Birth
Defects and Helen Hayes sup-
ports polio research through a
fund she established in the
name of her daughter.

In 1979, 35 states ratified the
Equal Rights Amendment, a
woman was commemorated on
the face of a coin, and a woman
was installed as the director of
the newly created Department of
Education. What will occur in
the 80 s? The next edition of this
series will examine women
leaders of this new decade.

members of the Atlanta

The Vivaldi Gloria, written
early in the 18th Century, is a
product of a 17th Century
change in the Mass as a musical
form. During this change the

music of the Mass transitioned
from a capella setting to one in
which instruments made an in-
dividual contribution ratherthan
to double the vocal performance.

Solos, likewise, played a greater
part and were usually sung by
voices from the opera houses.

BSA Sponsors
Interest Groups"

by Sherri Brown

Since BSA often seems to be
nothing more than another
obscure part of ASC's "alphabet
organizations" let me begin by
explaining what BSA is and why
we exist. The core group of the
Board of Student Activities con-
sists of a chairman,
secretary/treasurer, and four
representatives from each class,
while the entire board is made
up of all the vice-presidents of all
the other organizations on cam-
pus. Among our biggest res-
ponsibilities are planning the
annual and quarterly calendars
and conducting evaluations of
all the boards on campus. In
theory, and hopefully in practice,
we are to be a regulating force
or, as it were, "the guardian
angel" of all the campus
organizations. As
intermediaries, we try to make
sure all activities run smoothly
and that you are informed as to
what is available to you on and
off campus. So, I might add here,
if you know of something or
someone that you would like to
see on our campus, please feel
free to contact your class
representative (seniors-Kathryn
Sutton juniors-Nancy Brock,
Soph-Janet Musser, Fresh. -
position not yet filled).

This year we are trying a new
project in BSA which we call
"interest groups." We have a
two-fold purpose in offering
these groups: 1 )to promote good
relationships between profes-
sors and students outside of the
classroom 2) to give students fun
and creative outlets during the
"dull" quarter We have asked

professors who have a special
hobby which they enjoy to
volunteer their time and talents
to teach students their hobby,
and many professors have taken
us up on the offer. To whet your
thirst a bit, we will be offering
groups ranging in subject matter
from bridge, gardening, car care,
gourmet cooking, coin collecting
to a discussion on the 1 980 elec-
tions. There is no set time for
meetings the professors and
students gettogether and decide
this on their own. So, if you are
interested in getting to know
some of your professors on a
more personal level and learning
a new hobby at the same time,
remember to sign up in the din-
ing hall on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this weekl

The celebrated Pittsburgh
Symphony Chamber Orchestra,
under the baton of one of this
era's most distinguished
musicians, Alexander
Schneider, will present one
concert only in Atlanta Tuesday,
Jan. 15, at Agnes Scott College.

Appearing with the Chamber
Orchestra will be two
internationally acclaimed
soloists Jaime Laredo, violin,
and Sharon Robinson, cello.

The concert at Agnes Scott
will begin at 8:1 5 p.m. in Presser
Hall. Admission is $2.00 for
Agnes Scott students, faculty
and staff. General admission is
$4.00. Tickets can be purchased
only at the door.

The concert program features
a performance of Vivaldi's
"Concerto for Two Violins in D
minor, Op. 27, No. 3" by Laredo
and Schneider, a celebrated
violinist as well as conductor.

The program includes Haydn's
"Symphony No. 94 in G major"
('The Surprise" Symphony) and
Mozart's "Six German Dances
and Coda, K. 571 ."Soloand duet
performances by Laredo and
Robinson will include Vivaldi's
"Concerto for Violin and Cello in
F major," Tchaikovsky's
"Variations on a Rococo Theme
for Violoncello" and Saint-
Saens' "Introduction and Rondo
Capriccioso, Op. 28."

The 35-member Pittsburgh
Symphony Chamber Orchestra
is comprised of mostly "first
chair" players from the
Pittsburgh Symphony. The
Chamber Orchestra performs an

extensive repertory of works
written for a smaller symphony
ensemble.

Schneider, as a conductor,
violinist, teacher, chamber
music artist and concert
organizer, has made an
enormous impact on the musical
life of the United States since he
came here in 1 938 as a member
of the Budapest Quartet.

His activities in the field of
chamber music are legion. He
founded the Alberneri Trio, the
New York Quartet and the
Schneider Quartet and en-
couraged the formation of the
Guarneri String Quartet, which
performs annually at Agnes
Scott.

A friend and student of Pablo
Casals, Schneider was
instrumental in founding the
Casals Festival at Prades and
later Puerto Rico. Schneider
appears annually as conductor
and violinist in Lincoln Center's
Mostly Mozart Festival and has
been an active advisor and
participant at the Marlboro
Music Festival for many years.

Violinist Jaime Laredo was
catapulted to international
prominence at the age of 18 as
the winner of the coveted Queen
Elisabeth of Belgium
Competition. He has since
played in concerts from
Carnegie Hall and Tully Hall to
the Teatro Colon to Royal Albert
Hall.

He has appeared with virtually
every major orchestra in the
United States, Canada, Europe,
Central and South America and

with such great conductors as
Eugene Ormandy, Leopold
Stokowski, Josef Krips, Robert
Shaw, Seiju Ozawa and Andre
Kostalanetz.

Summer festivals have played
an important part in Laredo's
career. He has been guest
soloist at the Israel Festival,
Athens Festival, Lucerne Fes-
tival and in the United States at
Tangelwood, Hollywood Bowl,
Mostly Mozart, The Blossom
Festival and the Marlboro Fes-
tival.

Cellist Sharon Robinson made
her New York recital debut dur-
ing the 1977-78 season and was
hailed by critics as an impressive
cellist with a bright future. Her
European tours include
appearances at the Spoleto Fes-
tival of Two Worlds, recordings
for the B.B.C. in London and
engagements throughout Great
Britain and France.

She is also known for her
participation in chamber music
concerts. At the Marlboro Fes-
tival she has performed with
such artists as Rudolf Serkin and
Alexander Schneider. She
appears regularly with many
other celebrated musicians in-
cluding her husband Jaime
Laredo, Zukerman and the
Guarneri Quartet.

As a student she was chosen
to participate in master classes
given by Pablo Casals at the
Marlboro Festival, and in 1975
received the prestigious Leven-
tritt Foundation sponsorship to
give a U.S. concert tour under
their auspices.

SSA Sponsors Skiing

(Student Ski Association
News Release) - If you think the
only places that attract
thousands of college students
are the sunny beaches of Ft.
Lauderdale and Dayton a Beach,
guess again. In recent years the
powdery snow of the Student Ski
Association's College Ski
Vacations has been almost as
popular a place to get-together
as Florida.

Last winter and spring over 5,-
000 students from hundreds of
colleges trekked to SSA's
carnivals at major ski resorts in
the East, Midwest and Rocky
Mountains. Priced to fit a
student's budget, SSA's College
Ski Vacations include first class
lodging or dondominiums, lift
tickets and a full schedule of ac-
tivities. Most trips also offer a
low-cost breakfast and dinner
plan, with meals served in the
student's own lodge.

Discounts on lessons and
equipment rentals make the
carnivals popular with begin-
ning and intermediate skiers.
Both the group ski lessons and
numerous activities make it easy
to meet new people and make
friends. Every day there are
many activities to choose from:
Welcome parties and all college
mixers, dances to live bands and
discos, fun races and a College
NASTAR Race to test a student's
improvement.

For the 1979-80 season, the
Student Ski Association is offer-
ing trips to Stowe, Mount Snow
and Bromley/Stratton/Magic
Mountain, Vermont for $99 to
$1 19 and to the Mt. Washington
Valley, N.H. for $99 for five days
skiing in January. In the
Midwest there are weekend
trips to major ski areas. Week-
long trips to Steamboat, Winter
Park and Copper Mountain are
offered from December thru
April from $133.

According to SSA Director
Kim Chaffee, 'The popularity of
our carnivals is in large part due
to our removing the normal has-
sles associated with skiing. We
pick well known resorts, clean

comfortable Idoges or don-
dominiums and take care of all
the details. Students can come
solo or with friends. SSA will
find roommates for those who
need them. Through volume
purchasing power, we can cut
costs almost in half, which is
ery important to college
students. For those without cars,
we have chartered busses from
major cities that go directly to
our lodges. We can book low cost
air or train transportation
through our official travel agen-
cies.

Taking Vitamins May
Be Useless

Census (cont. from pg.

1970 to more than 8

1)

Maryland, at the Census Bureau
headquarters. The bureau will
report the state population
counts to the President by Jan.
1, 1981 and by April 1, 1981 the
bureau must make available to
the state legislatures population
totals to be used in drawing
legislative and district boun-
daries.

The census will spell out in
great detail the changes in U. S.
society of the past decade. The
1 980 Census is expected to find
that:

- The number of husbandless
women who are heading
families has soared nearly 50%

since
million.

- The traditional family
household of mother, father, and
one or more children now ac-
counts for less than a third of the
nation's households.

- The number of unmarried
couples sharing a household has
more than doubled in 10 years.

- There have been sizable
population shifts from northern
and eastern states to the
southern and western areas.

- The total U. S. population in
1980 will be slightly more than
222 million.

Vitamins do not provide
energy, nor do they construct or
build any part of the body. They
are needed for transforming
foods into energy and body
maintenance. There are 13 or
more of them, and if anyare mis-
sing a deficiency disease
becomes apparent.

The highest amount of a
vitamin needed by an average
individual is expressed as the U.
S. Recommended Daily
Allowance (U.S. RDA). These
allowances were adopted by the
Food and Drug Administration.

The amounts of vitamins
needed by the human body are in
almost infinitesimal amounts.

For example, the U. S. RDA of
vitamin B'" for an adult is just 6
micrograms a day. That's six
one-millionths of a gram. It takes
28.3 grams to make an ounce.

So one ounce of vitamin B'"
could supply the daily needs of
4,724,921 people.

A.A. Wants Your Blood
In Annual Red Cross Drive

by Paxson Collins

Are you having second
thoughts about giving blood on
Tuesday? Blood is a natural
resource and can only be gotten
from you I

The blood that you donate on
Tuesday is used for more

purposes than you perhaps
realize. Mostly children are
dependent on the blood. The
blood obtained from this drive is
broken down into four com-
ponents: platelets, red blood
cells, plasma and Factor 8.
Platelets are used for lukemics.
A lukemic uses $24,000 worth

of blood to stay alive each year of
his life. Red cells are used by
anemic and accident victims
while plasma is for burn and
shock victims. The last com-
ponent, Factor 8, is used by
hemophiliacs. All of these ac-
cident and disease victims are
dependent upon you for blood.

*********

While amounts of vitamins
needed by the human body are
scant, there's an abundance of
misinformation about vitamins
and the universal "need" for
supplements of vitamins. Tb
clear up some of these mis-
conceptions, FDA offers the
following:

Myth: Organic or natural
vitamins are nutritionally
superior to synthetic vitamins.

Fact: Synthetic vitamins,
manufactured in the laboratory,
are identical to the natural
vitamins found in foods. The
body cannot tell the difference
and gets the same benefits from
either source. Statements to the
effect that "Nature cannot be
imitated" and "Natural vitamins
have the essence of life" are
without meaning.

Myth: Vitamins give you "pep"
and "energy."

Fact: Vitamins yield no
calories. They, of themselves,
provide no extra pep or vitality
beyond normal expectations, nor
an unusual level of well-being.

The more vitamins the better.

Fact: Taking excess vitamins is
a complete waste, both in money
and effect. In fact, excess
amounts of some vitamins can
be harmful.

Myth: You cannot get enough
vitamins from the conventional
foods you eat.

Fact. Anyone who eats a
reasonably varied diet of whole
food, should normally never
need supplemental vitamins.

The Agnes Scott Christian As-
sociation is sponsoring three
"Focus on Faith" seminars dur-
ing the 1979-80 school year.

The fall seminar focused on the
nature of the church with guest
speaker Dr. C. Benton Kline Jr. of
Columbia Seminary, Decatur.
The spring seminar will center
on the history and future of the
church.

Wesley Pippert, principal UPI

books on Christian faith. Among
his publications are the books

"Faith at the Top" (1973), a
collection of short biographies;
"The Spiritual Journey of Jimmy
Carter" (1978) and "Memo for
1976: Some Political Options"

Six Week Break Big Success

by Mary Anne Hill

For the first time since the
school year '75-76, Agnes Scott
College has once again
experimented with the school
calendar and has apparently
met with success. The present
calendar was designed to allow
for a six week break between the
fall and winter quarters.
Although there have been a few
dissenting voices, for the most
part the campus' response has
been positive.

The students as a whole seem
to be overwhelmingly in favor of
the long Christmas break.

"I loved it," said Liz
Mosgrove, "I think we need it
every other monthl"

"It has refreshed me com-
pletely," responded Brenda
Brayton, when asked for her
reaction to the new calendar.

A few students, while having
positive responses, also noted
problems with the extended

break. Martha McGaughey en-
joyed the long vacation, but
found it hard to get back into the
swing of things at school. Mary
Ebinger also likes the new
schedule, except that "they
throw everything so fast at you
in the beginning of the quarter."
She missed the usual day of
scheduling, which she felt was
needed instead of starting
classes immediately.

There were some students
who were not as enthusiastic
about the six week break
between quarters. Cindy
Dantzler found the break to be
too long. "Coming back was like
starting all over." Cindy
suggested that perhaps the
vacation time could be more
productive if the school could
offer such things as internships
or trips during that time.

The faculty of Agnes Scott
appear to be more divided in
their reactions to this year's

the world!" Ms. Jones also
expressed an interest in swit-
ching to the semester system.

The calendar, then, seems to
have been a positive change.
The students were especially
calendar. Mrs. Sheats felt that
the break was too long, and
noted that she missed the cam-
pus' being able to celebrate
Christmas. Mrs. Sheats has
found her students to be eager to
come back to work, but worries
about the effect that the
extended break will have on on-
going nine hour courses.

Mr. Barton also expressed
worry about the effect which the
six weeks off will have on
academics. However, his
personal reaction was positive.
"I enjoyed having the time to
study and work."

Ms. Jones, like many of the
other faculty members, was very
enthusiastic about the six week
break. "I wouldn't change it for

glad that they were able to get
jobs for a longer period of time
this year. The break also enabled
them to get their Christmas
shopping done early, which they
saw as a big plus on the side of
the six week break!

Dakota.

Mrs. Pippert, like her husband,
writes on Christian faith. Her
books include "Out of the Salt
Shaker" (1979), "Pizza Parlor
Evangelism" (1978) and a sec-
ton on ministry of spirit in the
Danforth Foundation's "A New
Hope for Ministries in Higher
Education," to be published this
year.

She has worked as a national
consultant on evangelism for
Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship since 1973. She has
been a guest speaker at
nationwide conferences of the
Evangelical Women's Caucus
and other organizations as well
as a speaker for conferences at
the University of Chicago, the
University of Illinois and Reed,
Yale, Harvard and Cornell
universities.

Jaunt Aids Home

'fas

Junior Jaunt is away in which
the entire campus may become
involved in a community service.
Each year the Jun ior class spon-
sors a series of fund-raising
events. These events involve the
entire campus and are a fun way
for everyone to contribute to a
social service organization.

This year Junior Jaunt will
donate to the United Methodist
Children's Home. The money
will be used to buy furniture,
provide children with a cake on
birthdays and a small gift. It will
also help to provide the children
with a small allowance and
sometimes a priority project on a
project list. This decision was
made by ballot votes of the cam-
pus body. Debbie Yoshimira is
the chairman of the decision
committee.

Each class will sponsor one
activity for Junior Jaunt
centered around the Wizard of
Oztheme. The Junior class will
sponsor a Talent show to be held
January 31 at 7.00 in Gaines.

Tryouts will be held January 24
from 6.00-6:45 in Gaines. Mary
Ebinger is the producer of the
Talent Show, which will feature
the hot act by the deans. Dinner
will be sponsored by the
Sophomore class and will in-
clude a special menu for the oc-
casion. The Sen ior class will raf-
fle treats by professors which
will be sold the week before
Junior Jaunt. All of the events
will take place on Thursday,
January 31 .

Junior Jaunt chairmen are
Nancy Brock and Pam Mynatt.

A New Kind of Generation Gap

by Cookie Hooper

I strolled over to the Hub the
other night to satisfy those
chocolate cravings that have
nothing to do with hunger, and
began to casually examine the R.
T. C . bu I le t in boa rd . Tacked to the
cork was a petition sent to
President Perry by a group of R.
T. C. s who were evidently
miffed by the new parking
arrangements. Well, being a
member of Rep who had met
with Al Evans and Dean Kirk land
concerning the adoption of such
regulations and who also
believed we had devised an
equitable system, took a look.

Unfortunately, the petition has
since disappeared so Til
probably get called down for
misinterpreting the petition
(even though if I had actual
quotations I'd get blasted for
TAKING OUT OF CONTEXT). The
R. T. C. s displeasures were
reasonable. I can see the
problems involved for someone
with small children who has to
leave home early. And I'm sorry
that some R. T. C. s have to use
their cars as lockers (even
though I'm not quite sure I
understood their objections to
using the ones above the snack
bar).

But the tone, the attitude of
the petition bothered me far
more than the actual requests. I
believe this attitude is the
product of the relationship (or

lack of such) between boarding
students and R. T. C.s. The
petition seemed to have been
composed under the assumption
that boarding students really
don't need their cars on campus,
that such cars are on campus for
the predominant purpose of
pleasure, and should as such
park in the less accessible lots
on campus. That assumption
seems to have been drawn from
the way most R. T. C.s perceive
boarding students in general.

For some reason, the fact that
we're younger than 24, are
without conjugal strings, go to
dances and frat parties, and
don't think thirteenth century
South American history the
most exciting, stimulating thing
we've ever experienced,
reduces all our activities to noth-
ing more than trivial non-sense.

As one R.T.C. remarked to
another in the Hub last Monday,
"Aren't you going to your class
meetings so you can hear about
the dance Friday night?" The
comment was sticky with
condescending sarcasm.

Because one boarding student
drives a 1983 Porsche, dines at
Nikolai's Roof every Tuesday
evening, wears Aigner tennis
shoes, and flunked Library
Science 101 because she was
just too busy with her debutante
plans, is no reason to assume we
all do. I don't think the R. T. C.
that possesses an emerald ring

whose proportions and capacity
for glitter are truly stunning is a
typical or fair representation of a
R. T. C. Heyl There are actually
boarding students here who
work all summer and every
quarter (frequently at more than
one job) to pay for tuition and
daily expenses. There are even
women living on campus who
can fill out their tax returns all by
themselves. And I know there
are R. T. C.s that go to school,
take a full load, manage a family,
and work a job without losing
their sanity or sense of humor.

Granted, there are a number
of boarding students that con-
sider college a postponement of
the future, whose goals in life
are not focused on lofty
humanitarian goals or intense
financial success ... but aren't
there R. T. C. s who are equally
immature, who look on their
courses with as much intellec-
tual awareness and sensitivity
as a stoned concert-goer at
Champagne Jam? Stop lumping
us together in one stereotype.

I'm no "Scottie" if that means
my daddy pays for my education
(and car and allowance and
clothes and weekends in New
Orleans) and the most deman-
ding issue in my life is if my
socks match my skirt. And
neither are many boarding
students at Scott.

How about a compromise?

You stop thinking that everybody
that lives on campus and came

here stra ig ht (more or less) out of
high school is an amputee mis-
sing legs of academic en-
thusiasm and adult res-
ponsibility. And we'll stop thin-

WOMEN LEADERS:

by Laurie McBrayer

The trials and tragedies, joys
and successes of the 70's, the
"me decade" are over, and the
80 's have arrived. Who are the
women leaders of the future?
The Ladies' Home Journal
selected ten "candidates for
future achievement." The
interests and careers of these
women are diverse; yet, each
has reached a prestigious
position in her field.

Polly Baca-Barragan worked
her way up the political ladder
and is currently a Colorado State
Senator. Prior to this position
she was a Representative in the
Colorado House and she has
also served as director of
Spanish speaking affairs for the
Democratic National Com-
mittee.

Camron Cooper was named
treasurer of the Atlantic
Richfield Company in Los

Today And Tomorrow; Part II

Angeles, in 1978. A graduate of
Stanford, Ms. Cooper is an
"experienced analyst and
money manager."

Linda Gallagher is one
American who is concerned
about the energy crisis and is do-
ing something about it. As
executive director of the Alliance
to Save Energy, she directs its
advertising campaign.

Alexis M. Herman is the
"youngest director ever" of the
Women's Bureau of the
Department of Labor. Prior to her
appointment in 1977, she

Scholarship Response Great

by Cameron Bennett

A selection panel in three
regions of the U.S. will soon
begin selecting 35 finalists who
will be interviewed for 10
acacjmic scholarships offered
through Agnes Scott's Honor
Scholars Program. The
scholarships are given,
regardless of need, to young
women whoshowgreatpromise
of success at Agnes Scott. The
college has received 72 ap-
plications for this program.

To be considered for one of the
ten scholarships, the applicant
must have scores of 600 or
better on each section of her

SAT, a superior high school
record, and show strong
leadership qualities. January 1 ,
1980 was the deadline for ap-
plication.

On February 14-16, the 35
finalists will visit Agnes Scott at
the expense of the college. Dur-
ing the ir visit the students will be
interviewed several times by a
panel consisting of faculty,
alumnae, and administrators of
the College. The panel will then
select up to ten scholarship
winners. The students will be
notified of their selection in early
March.

Behan Publishes,
Presents Papers

by Mary Beth
Hebert

In case you find it difficult to
imagine anything you are
presently studying affecting
your entire future, perhaps you
should speak to David Behan.
Mr. Behan, an assistant profes-
sor of Philosophy at Agnes Scott
has been studying John Locke
since he was an undergraduate.
Upon reading Locke's writings
on personal identity, Behan felt
the previous interpretations he
had read of Locke were "off the
mark." Subsequent years of
interest, discussion and study
culminated in his paper, "Locke
on Persons and Personal Iden-
tity," wh ich was published in the
March 1979 issue of the
Canadian Journal of
Philosophy.

Mr. Behan regularly
participates in two forums - the
Georgia Philosophical Society
and the Emory Philosophy Collo-
quium. He presented a paper on
November 1st at the GPS en-
titled, "Plants, Passions and
Perceptions: Hume's Two
Selves." He also presented a
paper at Emory November 9th
called "A Minimum Condition
For Privacy."

As if he wasn't busy enough
the first part of November, Mr.
Behan was a commentator on a
paper on Hume's Philosophy at
the Eighth Hume Conference on
November 3rd at Rutgers
Un iversity.

Mr. Behan credits the forums
he attends and his students with
helping to keep him on top of
things, providing ideas and
challenges for him.

This multi-faceted
exhibition depicts the
collective experiences of

Scott Welcomes
Three Transfers

by Uisi In semi

Three new students have
been added to the Agnes Scott
College student list this Winter.

Sandra Brantley, from Buc-
khead, Atlanta, is presently a
Junior. She formerly studied in
Rollins College, in Florida, but
left after her freshman year
because it was too much like her
high school - socially and size-
wise. She then transferred to the
University of Georgia, which she
"liked a lot" but found the large
array of social activities quite
distracting. So now Sandra is a
Spanish, and possibly Political
Science, major in ASC.

Sandra likes water and snow
skiing, swimming and tennis,
and is especially interested in
Dolphin Club.

"I have been impressed by the
sincerity and warmness of the
students," comments Sandra,
"Their efforts to make new
students feel we Icome has made
me feel at home."

Nancy Asman, from Florence,
South Carolina, is now a
member of the ASC Sophomore
Class.

Nancy studied her Freshman
Year at (JSC. She then spent her
first sophomore semester at
Francis Marion College, South
Carolina, while she looked
around for other colleges. She
decided on Agnes Scott after her
History teacher, a graduate from
ASC, convinced her to give it a
try.

Nancy is an active person and
seems to be quite a natural
athlete but says that this winter

quarter she does not want to get
too involved in activities until
she can predict how much time
she needs to dedicate to her
academics. Nevertheless, Nancy
is interested in Drama and Glee
Club and plans to get involved in
such sometime in the near
future.

So far Nancy "feels at home.
The girls in the hall, (Hopkins
2nd), have been terrifici

A third student has enrolled in
ASC for this Winter quarter;
however, Brazilian Lucia
Campelo is here only for this
one quarter. "In Brazil it is
summer now. I am here to play
around and practice my
English." So far it has been dif-
ficult for her because of the
language barrier. 'That is why I
am here," she says.

Twenty-year old Lucia is an
Education major and will con-
tinue her studies in Brazil this
March when schools open once
again after the summer
vacation.

All Juniors who expect
to participate in the
Student Teacher Program
during the 1980-1981
academic session should
make an appointment with
a member of the Education
Department no later than
Monday, February 4.

Larsen's Side

Kramer vs. Kramer": Movie Divorced From Book

by Laramie Larsen

Kramer vs. Kramer is one of

the best movies to come out in a
long time, tt really is a good
movie: the acting is excellent,
the direction is well-thoughtout,
and the photography is effective.
Everyone agrees that this is a
terrific film. I enjoyed Kramer vs.
Kramer even though I knew how
it was going to turn out. Over
break I read Avery Corman's
novel by the same name which
served as the basis for the
movie, and although I enjoyed
the movie I also resented it for
the way it diluted and twisted
Corman's intelligent and sen-
sitive novel.

Corman wrote the novel to
present the man's side of
women's liberation and the des-
truction it can carry with it. In the
novel Corman portrays Joanna
Kramer as an intelligent and
competent women who realizes
she never wanted to be a wife
and mother. Then she decides
she wants to be a mother but not
a wife. Finally she decides she
doesn't know what it is she
wants. In the process of making
these not too decisive decisions
she inflicts upon herself, her
child and her husband a great
deal of emotional and financial
hardship. Corman's portrait of
Joanna is finally a highly critical
one in which he has the readers'
total sympathy. A misogynist?
Hardly. The most appealing
character in the novel (and I
must add that this is carried over
into the film) is Joanna's friend

Margaret. Rather, Corman is a
realist who portrays his
character for what she is.
Corman's Joanna is an im-
mature woman who jumped into
marriage, and later into
motherhoood, then into a
divorce and child custody battle.
Joanna Kramer goes from being
too passive to being too active
without considering the conse-
quences for herself or for the
other people conerned. In the
conclusion of the novel Kramer
exposes Joanna as a selfish but
rather ineffectual woman.
However, Joanna is not a
condemantion of liberated
women. She is only a portrait of
a type of woman who is
ultimately undesirable.

Robert Benton adapted the
novel for the screen and directed
the movie. His direction of the
adapted script is good. The fault
is in the screenplay. Benton
seriously alters the character of
Joanna, as portrayed in the
movie by Meryl Streep. Benton's
Joanna is less destructive, less
indecisive and more appealing
than the Joanna presented in
the novel. Perhaps Benton felt
Corman's position was too
strong to be marketable. If this is
the case, Benton underes-
timates the public capacity for
intelligent judgment of
character. Surely even the most
militant women's libbers can
accept a realistic portrait of less
than perfect woman. I simply do
not see the point of altering the

Ballet Presents Cinderella

The Atlanta Ballet will present
its U.S. toured and acclaimed
production of CINDERELLA
February 16th at the Fox
Theatre. Doubled by Demand,
the company will perform two
shows: A special matinee at
1:30 PM (Feb. 16) with ticket
prices $10, $8, $6, $4 and an
evening performance at 8:30 PM
with ticket prices $12, $10, $8,
$6. Tickets go on sale January
28 at all S E A T S, outlets or by
calling 881-1977. Group rates
are available by calling 449-
6545.

Tom Pazik, Assistant Director
of the Atlanta Ballet, premiered
his version of CINDERELLA
March 1977 in Atlanta. The full
length ballet, with a cast of 80
dancers received standing
ovations at the Fox Theatre and
critical acclaim as a rival to
Atlanta Ballet's magnificent
NUTCRACKER.

In the fall of 1979 Pazik res-
taged and shortened
CINDERELLA, reducing the
number of dancers to 40. The
Atlanta Ballet took this new
production on a tour of 1 3 states,

over the past four months, en-
thralling more than 50,000
people, throughout the country,
with their enchanting fairy tale
set to Serge Prokofiev's brilliant
score. Atlantic City, N.J. called
the production "... a Starr
spectacle of lights and color . . .
an endearing evening of dance
performed with intelligence."

Scenery and lighting was
specially designed for the new
CINDERELLA by Dr. Joseph
Stell, who designed the scenery
for OLIVER, LITTLE FOXES, and
SHADOWBOX at the Alliance
Theatre. SteJI's excellence is dis-
played by dazzling' scene
changes that are highlighted by
the elegant palace where royalty
dance, richly costumed by
Studio South.

Maniya Barredo thrilled
audiences across the country
with her shimmering
transformation from Cinderella
the scullery maid to radiant
princess. Ms. Barredo will dance
the role of Cinderella when the
Atlanta Ballet brings their visual
feast off the road and into the
Fox Theatre.

essence of a character in this
manner.

As I said before, Kramer vs.
Kramer is a good movie Dustin
Hoffman is unusually good as
Ted Kramer, portraying his
character sensitively and realis-
tically. Meryl Streep is also very
good as Benton's interpretation
of Joanna. Justin Henry, as Billy

Kramer, does a remarkably
natural job. Jane Alexander as
Margaret is too good to overlook.
I recommend this movie which
deals with an unpleasant but all
ioo common aspect of life. Even
more, I recommend Avery
Corman's novel Kramer vs.
Kramer It is a very good book.
Also if you missed Ken

Russell's version of D. H.
Lawrence's Women in Love at
the Silver Screen you missed a
brilliant film. Glenda Jacksokn,
Oliver Reed, Jenny Linden and
Alan Bates are flawless in this
film which is as beautifully
filmed as it is thought-provoking.
Don't miss it if you get the
chance.

Get Some Culture Texas Style!

by Lee Kite
Arts/Entertainment
Editor

Considering the title of the
production, the fact that is is
based on an article by Larry L.
King which appeared in Playboy
Magazine, and that the band,
The Texas Tally Wackers,"
have just completed a tour of
South Sea Geisha Houses, I
really should not have felt the
least bit shocked at the Fabulous
Fox's showing of The Best Little
Whorehouse in Texas. And,
after looking over my shoulder
and scanning the audience to
see if any of the deans or profes-
sors were there "to witness my
viewing such "indelicate" sub-
ject matter, I began to relax and
to enjoy the performance. And it
really was good - that is once I
got used to the sheriff's
language I

The action takes place in
Texas and concerns a
whorehouse that is known
around town as "The Chicken

Ranch", as the girls used to
accept chickens in exchange for
their, urn, "wares." The brothel
was run by a Miss Mona
Stangley, who was excellently
portrayed by the Tony Award-
winning Alexis Smith. Now,
Miss Mona had strict rules for
her girls to follow and she ran
what she termed "a Ml ole bitty
pissant country place" rather,
well, lady-like. The townspeople
had no real disfavor toward Miss
Mona and her girls, and Sheriff
Ed Earl Dodd (William Hardy) and
Senator Wingwoah (Joseph
Warren) were among many of
the influential townspeople who
frequented the Chicken Ranch.

However there was a gen-
tleman loose in Texas and he
headed the "Watchdog News
Team", constantly arresting vice
and corruption within the state.
Larry Hovis, best known for his
regular appearance on Hogan's
Heroes, was hysterical as
"Melvin P. Thorpe". He and his
crew were responsible for
exposing the fact that there was

"something more than pullets
being sold at the Chicken Ran-
ch , " and the trouble that ensued.

The cast was really profes-
sional in their performance and
did an absolutely fantastic job.
There was music, dancing, great
one-liners, just something for
everyone. While I could not pick
out my favorite cast member,
special nods go to Valerie Aus-
tyn who played "Shy", one of
Miss Mona's girls, and to whom
this show marked her profes-
sional debut; Marilyn J. Johnson
who was the ranch's maid, "-
Jewel", and who sang
beautifully; Barbara Marineau
whose cutting remarks as
"Doatsey Mae", the local cafe
owner, were always amusing;
and of course, those characters
already mentioned. What really
impressed me most was the way
the cast seemed to be having so
much FUN putting on the play.
They laughed and joked their
way through and the at-
mosphere that they created
spread to the audience, making
this musical comedy a real hitl

"Much Ado About Nothing" Does Nothing

by Christine Suggars

If you are not too fond of
Shakespeare I would not
suggest that you go and see this
production of Much Ado About
Nothing. Even if you do like "Old
Will" I feel rather hesitant in
recommending this particular
version by the Atlanta
Shakespeare Association. For
those who are not familiar with
the play's plot it is fairly simple.
The Prince of Arragon, Don
Pedro (R. A. Schreiber), has a
bastard brother called Don John
(Robert Pepper) who hatches a
plot to discredit the maidenhood
of Hero (Jan Tillett). As a result
Claudk) refuses to marry her.
However, everything ends hap-
pily as the villains are found out
and Hero regains her respect.

If one ignored the actor's
American accents, the play was
quite tolerable; That is, with the
exception of Borachio (Henry
Lide) who had the most
atrocious Southern accent.
Every time he opened his mouth
the audience burst into
sniggers I The costumes used

were modern, and Ifeltthatthey
did not quite suit the play,
especially as they used
Elizabethan music and dancing.
These th ings apart, the cast gave
a fairly good performance.
However, I found that I came
away feeling rather "non
plussed" about the whole
experience. This production in

my opinion is not very bad nor is
it very good. For those interested
in Shakespeare perhaps it is
worth seeing, but for those who
are not so keen I suggest that
you pass this one.

Much Ado About Nothing is
playing January 17-20 and 24-
27 at Seven Stages, East
Moreland Avenue.

Atlanta Women

providing visitors with their first
opportunity to examine notable
female achievements. With the
Exposition as a backdrop,
ATLANTA WOMEN FORM
MYTH TO MODERN TIMES
depicts how women's lifestyles
and fashions have changed
while their interest in home,
professions, clubs, education,
and the arts has persisted and
flourished.

ATLANTA WOMEN FROM
MYTH TO MODERN TIMES is the
result of over two years of
research and costume res-
toration by Louise E. Shaw, pro-
ject director; Darlene Roth, pro-
ject historian; Judy Henson,
exhibit designer; and B. Diane
Mott, textiles conservator. They
have worked in collaboration
with the Dogwood Chapter of the
Embroiderers' Guild of America,
the Atlanta Historical Society
staff, and countless volunteers
and interns from the Atlanta
community. The show draws
upon the strengths of the
permanent collections of the
Historical Society -the extensive
costume collection and the
manuscript and photograph
collections from its Archives.

Vinings Menagerie Inviting

VININGS, GA. Tucked away in a
picturesque Atlanta niche is the
unique village of Vinings, where
travelers can spend some
delightful hours shopping and
strolling among treasures of
both the present and the past.

Not only do these riches give
the antique and curio shopper a
wide variety of browsing
pleasure, but they also make it a
real temptation to buy.

Antiques range from porcela in
plates of the 1700 s up to
freshly- waxed yew wood tables
dating back 100 years. More
novel items can be found in the
Coco - Nut (Coca-Cola
memorabilia), The Doll Shop (an-
tique and collectible dolls), and
the Norway House of Vinings
(the entire stock consists of im-
ports from Norway).

Most shops are open Tuesday-
Saturday 10:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m.

To add to this wonderful
menagerie is the Old Vinings
Inn, a restaurant, which like the
other establishments in Vinings
is housed in one of the many
homes that date either from the
Civil War or the early 1900 s.

The concept of establishing
shops in these restored homes

was originated by Mrs. Earle
Carter Smith, a descendant of
Hardy Pace, who was one of the
first settlers in the area. In the
early 1 950's, Mrs. Smith opened
a consignemnt shop in the old
Vinings pavilion which was built
in 1685 to attract the area pic-
nickers and the weekend
visitors. Her idea caught on and
today it's what gives the town its
quaint charm.

Forgoing the traditional res-
tored structure for its head-
quarters is Vinings Ski Ridge,
which has a relatively new ski-
ing center. The slope, 500 ft. by
80 ft., gives skiers plenty of room
and snow (polyethylene balls) to
practice their sport anytime of
the year from September to
April. This facility also includes a
restaurant, the Cuckoo's Nest,
with a splendid view of Atlanta's
skyline.

Vinings is approximately a 20-
minute drive from downtown
Atlanta and can be reached from
either I-285 or I-75 by taking
Paces Ferry Road/Vinings or
West Paces Ferry Road exits,
respectively.

Information on Vinings can be
obtained by calling (404) 436-

Dolphins Synchronize Spectacular Show For Sophomores

by Ann Myrt

Although most Scott students
have heard of the Dolphin Club,
few of those not involved with it
realize the amount of time,
energy and hard work that goes
into water ballet. The club will
perform for Sophomore Parents
Weekend, February 21-22. The
Thursday night shows at 7:30
and 8 45 are free and open to the
campus.

This year's show features
songs from different countries.

The club will use more elaborate
props and costumes than in
previous years. Paxson Collins,
president, comments on this;
"We plan to use props we've
never used before. We want to

really show the work that goes

into this production."

Paxson will perform a solo to
Austrian music. Liz Mosgrove
and Peggy Somers appear in a
duet set to flirtatious Spanish
bull-fighting music. Lisa McLeod
and Kelly Murphy, performing
together for their second year,
are featured in a slow, graceful
Russian number. There will be
nine other performances with
music from places such as
France, Scotland, the South Sea
Islands, Africa and Japan.

Each member appears in three
numbers. The members of each
number practice together for an
hour each week. In addition, the
members of the club practice an

extra hour on their own. Paxson
says, "I don't think that anyone
realizes how much work is in-
volved in the performance. The
members are responsible for
painting the backdrop, making
their costumes, and attending
their practices."

Water ballet looks very easy to
those who have never tried it. A
great amount of strength is
needed, and an excellent sense
of timing is required for

everyone to stay together.
Paxson comments, "Some
people laugh when I tell them I
do water ballet, but you try to
float on top of water and do the
stunts I Most people can't even
float!"

Each number in the show lasts
about three minutes, and on the
night of the performance each
member swims six times.
Paxson goes on to say," It's hard
to concentrate on the direction
you want to go in the water.

when you are in an upside down,
vertical position. Not only does
water ballet take coordination,
but it takes endurance. At prac-
tice, we skull (motion done to
stay afloat) on our backs, sup-
porting a ten pound weight on
our stomachs, and that takes
more than practical"

Now that you know how much
time, energy and effort is put into
the Dolphin Club performances,
support them by going to see
their show.

You have a layup which
always succeeds in adding two
points to the scoreboard, and
you never double dribble??? The
Agnes Scott College basketball
program directed by Miss Jo
Ann Messick offers you ample
opportunity to boast your
prowess on the basketball court.
Two freshman teams, two
sophomore teams, two junior
teams, and one senior team
compete in games which will be
played on Monday nights from
7 :30 to 9 :30. Theseason will last
six weeks concluding with a
tournament to determine the
class winner. "One of our first
actions was to choose team cap-
tains," said Miss Messick. Amy
Potts and Uisi Inserni take
charge of the Freshman teams.
T.K. Wannamaker and Mildred
Pinnell lead the sophomores.
Luci Wannamaker and Debbie
Arnold direct the junior players,
and the senior team is headed by
Cindy Dantzler and Jennifer

Williams. Polly Gregory, a
sophomore member of the
Athletic Association, works with
Miss Messick as manager.

These captains have met for
two 90 minute technique clinics
with me. We've reviewed drills
and play patterns," continued
Miss Messick.

Chosen from the intramural
players, an all star team
competes with Brenau College.

Agnes Scott's most agile take on
Brenau 's best in a home game
January 31 st at 7:00. A rematch
on February 5th in Gainesville,
Georgia offers the losers a
chance for redemption.

JOCKEY SHORTS

Exercise class begins this
week and continues until the
end of the quarter. Athletic As-
sociation sponsors these classes
which are held on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. The Tuesday classes
are given by Susan Burnap from
5:00-5:45. On Thursdays
Paxson Collins holds class from
6:30-7:15. Other members of A.
A. help with these classes which
provide spatter ings of ca As-
thenics, aerobics, yoga and
dance. All students, R.T.C.'s,

Day Students - even faculty -
may attend.

Agnes Scott students jog to
Daytona again this yearl Last
year A. A. sponsored this event
in which the dorms competed in
jogging. There is a poster in the
gym with a mileage chart where
students mark off their daily dis-
tance of running. Their in-
dividual miles combine with
their fellow dorm members. The
first dorm to cover the 450 miles
will receive an award.

Tennis Program Builds

by Lite DeGrandi

The Agnes Scott tennis team
participated in three tennis mat-
ches last fall. Two matches were
against Georgia Tech and the
other against Oglethorpe
University. The season sended
with a two and one recorded,
with two defeats by Georgia
Tech and one victory over
Oglethorpe.

Looking ahead on the tennis
agenda for this spring, Miss Jo
Anne Messick of the physical
education department, who will
be coaching the tennis team, has
already made plans. With the
first match scheduled for March
24, practice will begin the week
of February 1 1 . Selection of the
team players will be made by the
first week in March. A tennis
ladder will be then posted in the
gym and challenge matches will
take place for the top positions.

Team practices will be
scheduled for Mondays through
Fridays from 4 - 5:30. Miss Mes-

sick added that tennis tryouts for
this spring will be open, mean-
ing that those who did not play
on the team in the fall may try
out for it in the spring. Miss Mes-
sick requests for those who are
interested in participating on the
tennis team to meet with her
before February 1 1 to formulate
a conditioning program. She
believes that conditioning
oneself to be in shape is im-
portant and necessary in order to
have a strong, successful team.

When asked about her goals
for the tennis team this spring,
Miss Messick replied that this
year will be considered a
"building" year. By this she
wishes to develop a strong ten-
nis team who are responsible to
practice and willing to compete.
She concluded that a final goal
for the team would be to
represent Agnes Scott in the
state tournament which will be
held April 24-26 at Emory
University.

Students and Faculty Discuss Parking Problems

by Darby Bryan

Why would approximately 65
students, 10 faculty and staff
members and one Profile
reporter attend a convocation
held last Wednesday, that was
not even mandatory? Was it due
to a world renowned speaker, a
handsome new professor, a
debate on the drinking policy, or
a tap dance by Dr. McNair? No, it
was a convocation to discuss the

new parking policy.

The group which attended
consisted of faculty, students,
and staff interested in the dis-
cussion for various reasons. Dr.
Perry began the discussion by
reading the revised parking rules
which were placed in student
boxes Wednesday morning. At
the beginning of the discussion
the point was established that

"Come Together"
Theme of Weekend

there are far too many cars on
campus for the number of park-
ing spaces available. Dr. Perry
pointed out that they plan to
build a new lot which will have
65-75 spaces in it. This new lot
will help alleviate some, but not
all, of the parking shortage.

Through a study conducted by
the dean's office it was found
that students have a higher
percentage of spaces than
faculty members and staff. The
reason the new policy came into
effect was that faculty and com-
muting students were unable to
find parking spaces when they
arrived on campus. The policy
allows spaces to be reserved in
front of Main and various other

Agnes Scott's Twenty-third
Annual Sophomore Parents'
Weekend will be held this year
from Friday afternoon, February
22 until Sunday morning,
February 24. This event started
in the winter of 1958 to help
sophomores get through
"winter quarter slump". The
purpose of the weekend now is
to present an overall view of life
at Agnes Scott.

The committee is made up of
Faculty (two members are ap-
pointed by President Perry), Ad-
ministration, and Sophomores
(four elected officers and their
appointed Committee
Chairpersons). They are busy
making and finalizing plans.

A skit will open the weekend
on Friday afternoon; the faculty
is invited so that parents may
have the chance to meet their
daughters' professors. On Friday

evening, two shows will be held
twice each; one is the Dolphin
Club Water Show and the other
is a Talent Show.

On Saturday, plans include
parents attending classes, a
Panel Discussion, and a slide
show. A nice luncheon will be
held in the Dining Hall and one of
the more elegant events, a Tea
Dance, will be held from 3-5 p.m.
in Rebekah. Dance chairperson
Susan Mead hopes to find Jazz
or Nostalgia music to tie in with
the weekend theme of the
Beatles and "Come Together
1980". Mrs. Perry is working
with Susan on the dance and
they are planning light
refreshments. On Sunday
morning, a breakfast will con-
clude events.

Many parents are expected to
attend the weekend. Organizers
are encouraging all sophomores
to become involved in some way

locations for faculty and staff
use during the day. Those
spaces may not be used by
students until 4.30 p.m.

The point was made by a
student that the resident
students felt like their privileges
were being infringed upon.
President Perry pointed out that'
the policy was only to provide a
solution to the parking problem.
He advised students to take ad-
vantage of the Candler lot and if
it is late at night to call security
for an escort. The problem of
vandalism in the Candler park-
ing lot was discussed and SGA
Pres. Kemper Hatfield advised
students to report any cases of
vandalism to security so they

may be made aware of the
situation. It was also stated that
students who do not use their
cars often should park farther
away and leave spaces for those
who use them frequently.

At the conclusion of the ais-
cussion Dr. Perry pointed out
that Scott parking problems are
small compared tothose of other
colleges and universities. He
feels that we have all been
spoiled as to convenience of
parking but with the increasing
number of cars on campus park-
ing willcontinuetobea problem.
Maybe everyone should heed
the advice of Miss McKemie.
Walk one mile a day for a year
and lose 30 pounds.

The Pipperts visited Agnes
Scott last week and spoke
on the various aspects of
Faith in the real world today.
Rebecca Pippert was heard
to say that her visit to Agnes
Scott was much more com-
fortable than the last time
she visited Georgia, when
she followed her reporter
husband, Wes, to a Best
Western Motel in south
Georgia during Carter's
campaign. The Christian As-
sociation sponsored the visit
here. Wesley Pippert is a U PI

Involvement: What A Way To Go!

by Mary Beth
Hebeii

All too frequently, students ai
Agnes Scott are accused of not
taking advantage of all the
college and Atlanta have to offer
(it is a favorite topic of many
professors). Most of us readily
admit to this shortcoming. It is
true that none of us have time to
waste, but surely we could spare
a few hours a week for a bit of
entertainment and culture.

In addition to the many varied
attractions on campus, Atlanta
provides a wealth of fun and
interesting things to do and see.
Sports, plays, concerts, films
and exhibits abound in "Big A."

If you're a sports enthusiast,
Atlanta is your Utopia. Afterall,
how many southern cities have
their own ice hockey team?
Among the athletic clubs that
call Atlanta home are the
Falcons (football), the Chiefs
(soccer), the Hawks (basketball),
the Flames (ice hockey) and the
Braves (baseball). There are also
several local rugby teams.

If you prefer more
participation than cheering for
your team, there is an abun-
dance of recreational es-
tablishments in Atlanta. Check
the yellow pages under ice or
roller skating. There are a couple
of places which rent horses.
Perhaps bowling is your sport.
Run and bike-a-thons are very
popular in this beautiful city.
Several local outdoor equipment

stores sponsor camping,
backpacking and kyaking trips.
Call ORGT (Outdoor Recreation
Georgia Tech). Don't forget the
pool, balls, mats and bikes at
school, either. Whatever your
sport, there's a group of like en-
thusiasts in Atlanta.

One of the most neglected (by
Scotties), yet wonderful features
of Atlanta is the vast selection of
theatres. Classic and contem-
porary plays open and close daily
while we remain oblivious to
their existence. Some of the
better known local theatres in-
clude the Alliance, Barn Dinner,
Imaginary, Academy and Fox
Theatres, Peachtree Playhouse
and Onstage Atlanta. Our own
Blackfriars and other colleges
frequently provide outstanding
plays.

If music is your love, Shaw's
Atlanta Symphony can't be beat.
Atlanta also attracts every
musician alive. Places to watch -
the Fox, Agora, Civic Center and
the Omni. For information on
who's coming when, call SEATS
or one of the local radio station
concert lines.

In addition to these sugges-
tions, Atlanta offers the Atlanta
Zoo, Atlanta Ballet, Cyclorama,
countless art exhibits and a
million movies (including classic
and foreign films). Everyone

Kemper's Corner

Congratulations to the new
sophomore Rep Council member
Meredith Manning and the new
junior Rep Council member
Valerie Kay. And a special
thanks to all of you who
petitioned! I received many
petitions, and I'm just sorry that
everyone who petitioned could
not serve on Rep. (I hope each of
you will keep your interest and
run in the spring quarter elec-
tions.)

Theie will be a very important
convocation program Wednes-

day, January 31 (that's THIS
Wednesday, folks!) at 11:30 in
Rebekah Reception Room. We
will have faculty members there
todiscuss "Dead Week." Most of
you have expressed a great
interest in having a "Dead
Week," so let's all get on the
stick andgotothe convocation to
support it. Not a single student
has a class at that time; there is
no excuse for missing it. Rep
Council and Catalyst can carry
only so much of the load, and
then it's up to the students to
pitch in and help.

Drinking Age Hearing

A public hearing will be held in the House Chambers at 2:00 p.m.

Several Agnes Scott students are planning to take the Marta Tram
to the hearing. If you need more information, call Sharon Maitland ai
378-2939

Proponents and opponents of a measure to raise the legal drinking
age will be afforded an opportunity to express themselves regarding
the subject Monday, January 28 when the House Temperance and
Special Judiciary Committees conducts a public hearing.

Two Senate bills will be discussed during this hearing. One bill,
which was left over from the 1979 session, will raise the drinking
age from 1 8 to 1 9. The other bill, which was introduced this year,
seeks to raise the legal drinking age from 1 8 to 21 .

who's worth seeing (and some
who aren't) include Atlanta on
their tours. For additional in-
formation and more ideas, read
the Atlanta Journal "Weekend. "
Obviously, no one can see and

do everything in Atlanta in a
lifetime, much less in 4 years!
But that's no reason not to make
an effort. Any student should be
able to put aside four or five
hours a week to "liberalize" her

education. One last note -
ALWAYS ask about student dis-
counts - Atlanta is a college city
and almost everyone will "help
us out." So take a break and go
have some fun!

Letters To The Editor

Dear Ms. Maitland:

Agnes Scott College should
produce not only an educated
but a liberated woman, one who
can take her place within the
Woman's Movement. I am happy
to see that Agnes Scott is indeed
producing such women.
However, there is one matter
which I would like to bring to the
attention of your readers.

As you know, great strides
have been made in the effort to
rid the English language of
sexism. "Man," as in "fireman,"
has been replaced by "person."
In addition, "he" used in ap-
position with "one" has been
replaced by "he or she" or
"he/she."

Similar advances, however,
have not been made in European
languages. In those languages,
nouns continue to be classified
in a blatantly sexist manner.
They are, if not neuter, mas-
culine or feminine.

While there may be historical
reasons for such sexist clas-
sifications of nouns in those
languages, linguistic sexism is
no longer defensible. Language
is for all the people!

Are steps being taken at
Agnes Scott to combat such
linguistic sexism? No! Not only
the male but also the female
members of the language
departments continue to insist
upon gender differences among
nouns. How, then, can an Agnes
Scott student be truly liberated
when her very role models, the
female teachers, slavishly
perpetuate linguistic sexism?

I call upon the members of the
student body at Agnes Scott to
take steps against this abuse. If
linguistic sexism cannot be en-
tirely removed, at least an effort
should be made immediately to
introduce proportional
representation in gender
differences among nouns
corresponding to population
divisions into masculine,
feminine, and neuter. But I
would hope that Agnes Scott
could lead the way by going
further and removing gender
differences entirely in all of its
language courses.

I hope that the concerned
members of the language
departments at Agnes Scott will
unite to stamp out sexism in
language. And I hope that your

editorials will encourage both
students and faculty to this
worthwhile end.

Sincerely,

Ms. Dee Peaby

Decatur

Dear Ms. Peaby,

The great strides you men-
tioned are only tiny footsteps in
the liberation movement.
Personally, I believe that gender
in language has very little to do
with how we view ourselves as
people. The great strides are the
accomplishments of the female
gender in getting equal
treatment, equal pay, and equal
rights in general. The greatest
strides are made by those people
who do not care, or rather, can
deal withthe factthatthe French
use le, la, or les before nouns.

One who has made great strides
uses the mind and develops it so
that they can view the world in
terms of how they are treated
and why they are treated the
way they are. A real person has
enough sense to decide when to
have babies, or when not to; a
real person can decide to be a
homemaker, an executive, or
both; a really successful person
can understand what it means to
have rights violated and fight to
right the wrongs.

Language, true, is for
everyone. As far as I know,
females can say just about
anything they want, n'est-ce
pas? As for the liberation of the
ASC student body, I think you
have struck a raw nerve. The
faculty and staff, here, have con-
tributed more to the liberation of
the female mind than possibly
any other. The students here
hold all of the leadership
positions, maintain academic
standards, participate in policy
shaping and most of all usetheir
minds to think freely and
acutely. . and we are all
females. How about that? Hold-
ing office, taking responsibility,
shaping our futures. . and still
learning "la bibliotheque" and
"le garcon." Amazing.

Since the world is not com-
posed of neuters, I see no reason
to make our language geared
toward such a world. It is a fact,
as undesirable as some may
think, that there are two sexes.

Male and Female. Why not admit

it.

If we take the "male" and the
"man" out of our words, we may
be left with some clumsy

sounds. (Wo , and Fe )

And I doubt there are many
French persons who want to
take the music out of their
language. As for words like
"fireman" ... I don't care what
you call them as long as they put
out the fire.
Sincerely,

Miss Sharon Maitland
Editor

Dear Editor:

I would like to suggest a pos-
sible remedy to the poor atten-
dance at lectures/readings at
Agnes Scott:

1 . Limit the speaker to forty-
five minutes. If, after this allotted
time, the speaker wishes to
strut, declare the first
"program" or "feature" over,
announce a break, and allow
those who wish to leave to do so
with some dignity. But make
sure that the speaker knows in
advance that students do have to
study, that teachers do have to
prepare classes or drive
sometimes to Snelrville. Many of
us feel trapped, however, when
the speaker rambles on without
regard for us and our time. And
those who sponsor the speaker
selfishly grin while we nod or
knock twenty knees and spill five
hymnals to get out.

2. Plays and concerts are
different. We know that a night
is required for them (and we can
sneak out of a dark auditorium),
but in performances by a single
player/singer/whatever, the
forty-five-minute limit should
hold.

3. Fifty minutes could be
allowed if events began at 8.1 0,
but to change our present prac-
tice (beginning all events at
8.15) would require the yeas of
synods nine times nine.

4. I believe that our extra-
curricular programs are as im-
portant as our classes - - no
more so, no less so. Classes last
fifty m in utes. Most of our events
should last no longer.

Sincere ly,
Bo Ball,

EDITOR'S NOTE:

The following letters are in
response to an editorial
published in the January 21 is-
sue of the PROFILE. These
were the only letters received
in time for publication in this is-
sue. There has been some
question as to the editorial dis-
cretion used in printing the
editorial. Our policy is printed
in the Masthead. Let is also be
known that the editorial staff
was aware of, and approved
the printing of the article.

Thanks to all who have res-
ponded. Letters are always
welcome. See the Masthead
for details.

Dear Editor,

Thank Heavens someone has
finally had the courage to air a
problem that has been seething
just below the surface for quite a
while. Cookie Hooper was able
in a clever and unbiased letter, to
make all of us aware of the pre-
judices and stereotypes among
ourselves and the problemsthay
can and have caused. Her
'car icat ures ' and
'exaggerations' were simply a
mechanism to focus attention on
the situation. She used the park-
ing problem as a springboard to
make us aware of the discord
and misunderstanding between
some boarding students and
some RTC's. Perhaps in
verbalizing the problem and
forcing us to acknowledge it, is
th first step to a solution. We're
v orking on the parking problem,
^et's work on this one too.

No Name Given

Dear Editor,

We are trying to be the voice of
the campus, but a few of us feel
strongly enough to reply to the
recent editorial in the Profile.

No relationship is ever easy.
Problems occur between all fac-
tions of Agnes Scott students,
but there is no need to single out
R. T. C.'s as the cause of these
problems. Sure, their lifestyles
differ from ours, but why can't
we learnf rom these differences?
We fail to see where the problem
lies.

Granted, "They" fill in those
front row seats while "We"
slump in the back row un-
prepared for class (yes!) again.

Granted, "They" answer ques-
tions willingly and thoroughly,
but the alternative blank
stares and zipped lips makes
for a long, dull class. Granted,

we know all of 'Their" husbands
and kids by name, but haven't
they heard their share of "Our"
boyfriend stories?

We purposely capitalized
"We" and 'They" to emphasize
the absurdity of distinguishing
between the R. T. C.'s and
students in general. We hope
these examples seem just as
ridiculous and overstated as
those in last week's Profile.

We're all women regardless of
our ages, and we're all students
regardless of our higher am-
bitions. Maybe we've just been
lukcy, but the R. T. C.s majoring
in psychology are a great group
who we wouldn't trade for the
world! ANY students 'pretending
to be doing something with their
lives' (whether 'bored feminists'
or not) are wasting their own
time and are to be pitied, not
criticized, for their attitude.

Why can't we get beyond ad-
ministrative classifications and
appreciate each student for the
individual she is, respecting
each woman's educational ob-
jectives? Don't we have enough
to worry about without an-
tagonizing our colleagues?
Remember, a liberal arts
education does not only work in
the dassroom, but it applies to
daily living also.
Kim Clark
Sarah Fairburn
Kathy Hollywood

Dear Editor,

Being a member of the Profile
staff, everyone will think that is
my reason for taking Cookie's
side. However, for that same
reason, I have been forced to
listen to "everyone - in - town's"
reaction to the article in last
week's paper, as I am sure the
rest of the staff has.

My real reason for writing this
letter is my disappointment in
the students at Scott. I have
been harranged with remarks
such as: "Don't you think that
Cookie was a little harsh on the
RTCs?"; "Does Cookie really
hatethe RTCs so much?"; "Don't
you think she's a little over -
protective of her damn parking
space?", and so on. My answer
to all of these is simply "no, no
NO!" Is the issue here really not
clear, or is it possible that the
students and, yes, some profes-
sors, at AGNES SCOTT are
unable to understand something
that they have read?

In the third paragraph of her
article, Cookie states that it was
"... the tone, the attitude of the
petition ..." that bothered her,
and that "... this attitude is the
product of the relationship (or
lack of such) between boarding
students and RTCs." Later, in
the end of the seventh
paragraph, Cookie says "Stop
lumping us together in one
stereotype." It is obvious to me
that Cookie is concerned with
the way the two groups view

each other, and the effect that
this has on their relationship.

I am also irritated with those
students and professors who
read the last paragraph and
could not believe that Cookie
was calling the RTCs names.
Read it again, please. She does
not call them "bored feminists"
any more than she called the
boarding students "amputees
missing legs of academic en-
thusiasm and adult res-
ponsibility." She is merely using
these as examples of what some
members of these two groups
THINK OF EACH OTHER.

The letter was written, I
believe, in order to make the two
groups take a closer look at each
other, and themselves, and to try
to break down the walls between
them. It has, instead, increased
the problem. However, that is
not Cookie's fault - it is the fault
of those who did not listen to
what was being said. I find it
hard to understand why the
people on this campus cannot
see what's in front of their faces,
but hide behind the chip on their
shoulder. I would think that the
community of Agnes Scott
would be full of people
intelligent enough to see a
problem and to find out a way to
solve it. Not, as is being done, get
mad and hurt when a problem is
pointed out to them.

Please! Everyone take a deep
breath, calm down, read
Cookie's article and THINK about
what's being said. Maybe this
time the "Generation Gap" can
be bridged. Thanks.

by Cookie Hooper

Well, well . . . this has been an
exciting week. So far, I've been
told that R. T. C. response has
ranged from comments like
"Well, I didn't come here to get
along with boarding students"to
"\ refuse to reply to her editorial
because it is obviously a simple
case of mud-slinging" to the
truly unprintable.

I have but one comment: Did
anyone READ the article? Or did
you just pick up on some key
phrases and beat them to death?
To the student who said she
didn't care if she got along with
the boarders - my immeasurable
pity. Such an attitude is vaguely
familiar ("Well, I didn't want to
play in your sandbox anyway!").

And to the student who accused
me of "mud-slinging" - well,
that response assumes there is
mud to be slung and serves only
to reinforce my belief in the
existence of the problem . And to
the student who said what I can-
not repeat - no, I don't think I'm
going there and if I do, I won t be
doing that when I go.

But back to the issue. It grieves

me that ASC students can read
so much with so little com-
prehension. Perhaps, I should
have stated my opinion a little
more simply, in a way requiring
fewer stirrings of advanced
logic. The editorial was about R.
T. C.'s and boarders cultivating
the wrong idea about each other,
about a general attitude shared
by the two that doesn't allow
free or frequent movement
between the two groups (as
groups, please notice! There are,
of course, individualexcpetions).
Just as I mentioned the ab-
surdity of considering R. T. C.s
"bored feminists" so did I also
caricature the boarding students
as half-witted "amputees." Just
as the emerald-poxed R. T. C. is
an obvious exaggeration, so also
is the student with Aignertennis
shoes a gross misrepresen-
tation. If that's mud-slinging,
everybody got some on their
shoes.

In response to the letter from
Kim Clark, Sarah Fairburn, and
Kathy Hollywood - thank you for
the courtesy of replying. Oddly
enough (or so you may think) I
agree with most of your letter. I,
too, believe in "the absurdity of
distinguishing between the R. T.
C.s and the students in general."
I even believe the part about all
of us being women and
students, regardless of our age
or classification. But I did have
one minor problem with your
reply. As you said, there is "no
need to single out R.T. C.sasthe
cause of these problems." You
then went on to say you failed to
see where a problem existed.

Huh? First you - admit the
existence of problems, then you
say there aren't any. And as far
as my editorial "antagonizing
our colleagues" - I hope I an-
tagonized everyone if that's

what it takes to wake some
people up. You also called my
article and its contents
"ridiculous and over-stated." Is
that a stylistic criticism or an ob-
jection to the actual content? If
it's a matter of stylistic
preference - well, melodrama
isn't for everyone. If it's a
comment on the actual content
of the article - you bet it's
"ridiculous and overstated'
just as ridiculous as students
making ludicrous
generalizations about each
other. And, just for the record,
there are some wonderful R. T.
C.s in my major departments, too
- Carol Colbe, Claudia Stucke,
and Jane Quillman to name a
few. Did you get that Professors
Pepperdene and Campbell (just
for the record, of course)?

And, finally, to answer the
charges of harshness and
severity . . . Getting most
students to read anything
besides textbooks and reserved
readings is virtually impossible.

Do you have any idea how many
copies of The Profile are thrown
away, unread, each week? If we
had conclusive statistics, I think
they would amaze you. Un-
fortunately, most people on
campus just don't respond to
milk-water editorials. Notice the
stunning lack of -student-
authored letters to the editor.

I do not apologize for the
article, its contentorthe manner
in which it was written. I do
apologize to all students who
took the last sentence as a
personal affront (although it was
never intended as such). It is ob-
vious that there are no students
at Scott pretending to "do
something" with their lives. We
wouldn't be here if we were,
would we?

Rotary Students Studying At ASC

by Uisi Inserni

For the purpose of promoting
international understanding and
peace, Rotary Foundation of
Rotary International has
financed, at the cost of almost
$10 million dollars, a year of
abroad-studies into more than
100 countries for approximately
1,000 students during the
current school year 1 979-80.

Thanks to the more than 100
Rotary Clubs in Georgia two
foreign girls are studying at
Agnes Scott College: Catharina
Bostman and Elizabeth
Kennedy.

Catharina, from Vanda,
Finland, is 19 years old but
presently she is unclassified
because of the difference
between the liberal arts program
at ASC and the educational
system in Finland. "In Finland,"
says Catharina, "We don't have
high schools or colleges. You go
to coeducational schools for five
years," from which you most
likely graduate at the age of
sixteen. During those five years,
"education includes Languages,
Maths, Sciences and Histories.

Then you go to a three year-long
Gymnasium, where you study
Long Math and French." At the
end of the third year students
have to take four to six tests to
graduate, and by that time the
students are more or less
Juniors in college.

Catharina is enjoying the
variety of courses she is taking at
ASC; "I'm taking a break from
Languages," she says. "I can
take what I want, for example:
Political Science, which is
helpful for my career,
Psychology, which is good for all
fields, and Art, which I would like
to keep for the rest of my life."

Catharina's aim is to work for
the United Nations. She will be
going to the Schule fur
Angewardte Linguistik, an
interpreter's school in
Switzerland, to finish her
education in Languages,
(Catharina presently masters
English, Swedish, Finnish,
German, and French).

So far Catharina has achieved
her purpose here in the USA;
she has experienced life in
America. And as far as Agnes
Scott is concerned, "I really like
it," she commented. "But then
also the Rotarians have taken
such good care of (me). Plus, the
girls in Rebekah are really nice; I
have a nice feeling they have
accepted me. In addition, I don't
have pressures to stud^ecause
it's only for my p < e%onal
knowledge and that makes
Agnes Scott even a more
positive experience."

Elizabeth Kennedy, from Bris-
bone, Australia, is under a very
similar situation as her fellow
Rotarian scholar, Catharina.

Elizabeth, who will turn 1 9 years

old the 27th of January, is in a
Teacher's College in the
"Primary Section" - ordinary
elementary education for
children between 5 to 1 2 years
of age - and therefore she is also
unclassified.

"Coming to Agnes Scott has
been good" for her because her
college is too specialized, and
therefore, ASC is broadening
herown personal education; for
example, Elizabeth has never
had U.S. history. Elizabeth
studied college for one and a half
years in Australia before coming
to the USA. She broke the third
semester and will start her
fourth when she returns. "I'll be
a year behind but in many ways
I'll be a year ahead," she said.

Elizabeth has liked Agnes
Scott very much. She went to an
all-girls high school so the fact
that ASC is a women's college
has not bothered her.
Academically, "It is wonderful,"
she said. "I've learned so much.
You've got to do the learning by

yourself. It's very satisfying." As
soon as she arrived "everything
started going well." "I get along
very well with Laura, (her room-
mate), and the girls on the hall. I
miss my family but I f indthe girls
really nice and I have found
lifelong friends. Besides, the
campus is so beautiful! I found
the fall so exciting; I took film
after film. You see, in Australia
there is not much difference
between summer and winter.
Plus, the Rotarians care for me a
lot. I go out on weekends with
them; there is no time to be
lonely. It has been really
wonderful!"

The Rotary Foreign Study
Grant can be a life-lasting
experience.

Nominees Selected For Harry Truman Scholarships

by Kim Clark

What exactly is the Harry S.
Truman scholarship? Who
receives this honor and the ac-
companying large sum of finan-
cial aid? To answer these ques-
tions for myself and the Agnes
Scott community, I spoke with
Dean Gary, the individual
ultimately responsible for the
nomination.

The Harry S. Truman
scholarship was established ap-

proximately three years ago.
One rising junior is chosen from
each state (that is, the student's
state of residence, not the
location of the school) to receive
up to a maximum of $5,000 in
financial aid. This money is
intended to pay for the last two
years of undergraduate school
and up to two years of graduate
or professional school.

Each college is allowed to
nominate up to two students.
Dean Garry arrived at her

Beth Maisano

nominations by talking with
faculty members, the Dean of
Students' office, and interviews
with sophomores expressing an
interest. The Truman foundation
requires a nominee to have a B
average, a major or field of
interest that can be connected
with a career in the government
or with public service, and, in ad-
dition, a past demonstrated
interested in this type of work.
Furthermore, each nominee is
asked to write an essay on any
topic of her choice.

After reviewing each case
carefully, Dean Garry nominated
Burlette Carter, representing
South Carolina, and Beth
Maisano, from Georgia. What
have they done, one might ask,
to make them eligible for this
honor? Beth's high school
achievements are varied and
remarkable - junior class
president, senior representative
in Student Government,
president of the Beta Club,
secretary of the Key Club, an
Outstanding Senior, and a
member of the National Honor
Society. In college, she is double
majoring in English and
sociology, is serving as
sophomre class president, and
has served in the past on cam-

paigns for Governor Busbee and
Andrew Young, and is now cam-
paigning for Edward Kennedy,
candidate for President.

Burlette Carter's past and
present accomplishments are no
less outstanding. In high
schools, she participated in
numerous speech contests, the
American Legion's Contest, and
the Veteran of Foreign Wars
Contest. Now, in college, she is
majoring in English and political
science, and is a member of the

Profile staff, and the Lecture
Committee. Burlette has passed
the first stage of the
nominations, and on January
23, she will be interviewed. This
is the last stage before the final
choice is made; that is, two
finalists from each state, one
winner and one alternate. The
announcements will be made in
April.

Congratulations on the honor
of your nominations, Beth and
Burlette!

Presidential Hopeful: John Connolly {#

by Marcia Whetsel

(Editor's Note: This article is
one in a series of articles on
presidential candidates. In the
next few weeks the following
candidates will be reviewed:
Republicans - Robert Dole,
George Bush, John Anderson,
Phillip Crane, Ronald Reagan,
Howard Baker; Democrats -
Jimmy Carter, Edward Kennedy,
and Jerry Brown.)

John B. Connally, the 62 year
old former Secretary of the Navy,
ex-governor of Texas, and one-
time Secretary of the Treasury,
has won recognition as a top
challenger for the Republican
nomination for President.

Connally, a native of Flores-
ville, Texas, worked his way
through the University of Texas
and was active in campus
politics. In 1937, while in law
school, Connally worked as a
campus volunteer in the
successful campaign of
Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson,
who was running for a congres-
sional seat in central Texas. He
came to Washington in 1 939 to
serve as Johnson's officS
secretary. During World War II,
he rose to the rank of lieutenant

commander in the Navy while
serving as a legal assistant to
Navy Under Secretary James
Forrestal.

After the war he returned to
politics and in 1 969 he managed
Johnson's candidacy for the
presidency, which ended in
Johnson's accepting the slot of
Vice President on the
Democratic ticket headed by
John F. Kennedy. Connally was
appointed Secretary of the Navy,
but in 1 962 he ran for governor
of Texas and was elected. He
served for three successive
terms. As governor of Texas, he
was with President Kennedy in
Dallas, on Nov. 22, 1963, when
Lee Harvey Oswald opened fire
on their open limousine. Rifle
slugs tore through Connally's
back, puncturing his lung, break-
ing his right wrist and penetrat-
ing his left thigh.

By the mid-1960s, Connally
found himself in disagreement
with some of Johnson's Great
Society programs.

In 1969, he retired from
politics to a Houston law firm,
but in 1971 he returned to
politics as Secretary of the
Treasury under Nixon, who ad-

mired his work and his Texan
style. Connally played a major
role in Nixon's 1971 decision to
impose wage and price controls.
He explains that now economic
conditions are different and he
opposes controls in today's
economy.

In May of 1973, Connally
formally transferred his party
registration from Democrat to
Republican. He explained that,
"The Democrats have moved so
far left that it has left the ma-
jority of Americans who occup
the great middle ground."

In late 1973, it was widely
reported that Connally was
Nixon's first choice to replace
the resigned- Vice President
Spiro Agnew, but that the
President had named Gerald
Ford in order to avoid a con-
firmation fight in Congress.

In April of 1 975, Connally was
acquitted by a jury in
Washington, D.C. on charges of
accepting $10,000 in payoffs
from a milk producers' group.
Prosecutors had charged that
Connally used his influence to
help win an increase in milk-
price supports granted by the
Nixon Administration in 1971.

Connally and his wife of 38

years, Nellie, own a 9,000 acre
showplace ranch near Flores-
ville that supports about 750
head of Santa Gertrudis cattle.
Mrs. Connally often ac-
companies her husband on his
campaign trips. They have three
children - John B. Connally III,
33, a Houston lawyer, Sharon
Ammerman, 29, whose hus-
band, Robert, manages the Con-
nally ranch, and Mark, 26, a
Floresville banker.

His stand on key issues.

Inflation: He wants to reduce
government spending and
taxation, but believes that the
long-range answer is to increase
productivity.

Spending: Federal outlays
should be cut by 5 percent,
supervised by a White House
inspector general.

Energy: Controls on fuel
prices should have been lifted
six years ago, and development
of alternate fuels pressed.
Favors "North American com-
mon market" to reduce reliance
on OPEC nations.

Nuclear Energy: Although a
safety question exists, there
should be no shutdown of plants
presently operating or under
construction.

Tax cut: Taxes should be cut
by 10 to 15 billion dollars to
compensate taxpayers for in-
creased energy costs.

Social Security: Favors com-
prehensive overhaul of the
system in the 1 980's.

National health insurance:
Against it because "the taxpayer
cannot afford the load of billions
of dollars for a massive new
government run program."

Salt II: While new arms
agreement should be pursued,
the U.S. should build a stronger
nuclear capability to overcome
Soviet superiority gained over
the last 1 5 years.

Shange's "For Colored Girls../' ... For Everyone

by Emily Moore

I hope that you took in the
Alliance Theatre's presentation
of the Choreopoem "FOR
COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE
CONSIDERED SUICIDE/WHEN
THE RAINBOW IS ENUF" by
Ntozake Shange (Paulette
Williams). It was a terrific
performance. I enjoyed it
tremendously and take great
pleasure, I think, in sharing my
view of it with you.

After seeing the choreopoe/n
and sitting in on a discussion of it
with Walter Dallas, the director,
Toni Cade Bambara, and Alice
Lovelace, I can truly say that I
understand almost everything
the poet-playwright attempts to
convey. I guess I might say that
as a black woman, I could relate,
identify, and other overworked
expressions. There are sen-
timents from anti-militarism to
patriotism, from self-sacrifice to
absolute individualism, from
male to female, and yes, from
black to white.

Although the cast is of seven
black women sharing their life's
experiences, the play speaks to
life itself, everybody's life. I sup-
pose it is particularly appealing
to women because they can
more readily identify with the
exploitation that society imposes
and the self-sacrifice that the
family expects of them. One pas-
sage from the play is particularly
striking for the manner in which
it expresses this exploitation
self-sacrifice on the part of
women. That passage is spoken
by the lady in green, as she says
repreatedly, "Somebody ran off
with all my stuff." Most women
have times when they feel that
"somebody," a husband, lover,
family, "ran off with all" of
themselves, not leaving enough
for them to carry on. Most
women have times when they
look inside themselves, and see
nothing when they have "con-
sidered suicide."

There is great concern that the
poem-play is anti-male, more

specifically, that it does not cast
a favorable or realistic light on
the black male. This accusation
is both true and false. It is true
that the black ma le is depicted as
a selfish, inconsiderate, what-
do-you-call-it. This is an un-
favorable portrait of him, but it is
frequently most realistic. It is
also true that the play presents
women in the same light, and in
several passages labels them
"bitches," yet no one is saying
that the play is anti-female. In
my opinion, neither sex comes
out looking all that great; and, to
go a step further, neither does
either race. The play may not
permit us to break our arms, pat-
ting ourselves on the back, but it
is realistic.

Another look at the presen-
tation of the male shows that he
is portrayed in this unfavorable
vein because he is an integral
part of the "Colored Girls'" life. .
.her dreams, her heartacfies, her
sorrows, her joys. It takes a great
deal of love and understanding
to express the kind of pain
shown in "For Colored Girls. . ."

The women are not staring the
men in the eye screaming about
"what that nigger didto me," not
really. Even when they say that,
deep down, they are sharing the
hurt they feel because of what
they allow men to do tothem out
of love. As one of the women
says: "Can't nobody do nothin' to
me, lessen (unless) I let 'em." So
you see, neither the poem-play
nor the playwright is anti-male;
they're just "rapping down
what's real." That is what
causes all of the clamor; the play
speaks the truth.

Some of the critics of the play
have remarked upon the
playwright's upper middle class
upbringing and honor graduate
education. They insist that
Ntozake's poem have an oc-
casional false note and they feel
that this is a product of her "writ-
ing about emotional concerns

which are not indigenous to
herself." Well, I submit that
what I heard in "For Colored
Girls" rang true, and I add, that
any black woman with any sen-
sitivity can vicariously
understand all of the black
experience. We haven't been a
part of the mainstream long
enough to see any portion of the
black experience as not being
"indigenous" to us. Distinctions
between socioeconomic classes
have not been with us long
enough for that.

Some have also criticized the
language she uses, saying that it
is not her own, that she mixes
the language of the sophis-
ticated speaker of standard

English and street language or
ghetto vernacular. Such
criticism could probably be made
of every educated black person
who lives. This language
mixture is a product of switching
roles, that is "rapping with the
brothers down home" versus
trying to get somewhere in life. If
those critics heard me talk to
President Carter and me talk to
brother man Bo Didly from down
home, they would probably say
the same thing, "dig where I'm
coming from!" To me, your
language is appropriate if, in us-
ing it, you communicate your
ideas effectively.

I could go on and on about this
great choreopoem. It was a great

experience for me to see some
things in a different light. I've
always known that being black is
difficult, but what I sometimes
fail to realize is that I am not
alone, for loneliness comes from
within, as joy comes from
within. The play concludes on an
extremely satisfying note, for in
the final analysis, "Colored
Girls" realize that "bein alive
and bein woman and bein
colored is a metaphysical dilem-
ma" that they can conquer. They
look within themselves to find
true meaning, the only real
reason for being; and they all
sing: "I found God in Myself And
She's Beautiful. . ." and the
lights go out; what more is there
to play.

Alexander Schneider Takes Bows

by Laurie McBrayer

Alexander Schneidertookfour
bows following the ifnale of the
program performed by the
Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber
Orchestra on Jan. 1-5. And he
deserved the applause. He con-
ducted a delightful concert that
kept the audience both
entertained, and at some
intervals, in awe.

The program began on a good
note with the Surprise
Symphony (No. 94 in G Major);
one of Joseph Haydn's most
popular works, probably best
loved for the second movement,
for which the piece earned its
cognomen. The 35 member
orchestra demonstrated its
excellence as it produced a good
solid sound and displayed a
careful observance of dynamics
and tempo.

The following four works
performed were really the
highlights of the evening,
because they featured world
renowned musicians Jaime
Laredo, violinist, and Sharon
Robinson, cellist.
The two players demonstrated

what a good team they are in
Vivaldi's "Concerto for Violin
and Cello in F Major." Indeed
they were very sensitive to each
other's playing. Vivaldi com-
posed the two solo parts in a way
that either instrument could play
them. Consequently, the two
musicians played alternately,
almost in competition. The con-
trast between the instruments
was beautiful. Mr. Laredo and
Miss Robinson received much
applause for this piece.

Miss Robinson soloed in
"Variations on a Rococo Theme
for Violocello" by Tchaikovsky.
She played with fantstic energy
and much talent. A memorable
portion of this performance oc-
curred when the string section

produced a plucking sound and
she played a smooth,
harmonious part.

In Vivaldi's "Concerto for Two
Violins in D minor, Opus 27, No.
3" Mr. Schneider demonstrated
that not only can he conduct, but
he can also play the violin. Mr.
Schneider performed with Mr.
Laredo in this piece. At times,
Mr. Schneider's bow doubled as
a baton as he lead the orchestra

in accompanying Mr. Laredo.
The harpsichord ac-
companiment added a special
effect to this selection.

Mr. Laredo had his op-
portunity to solo in "Introduction
and Rondo Capriccioso" by
Camille Saint-Saens. In this
gypsy-like dance, he reached
high pitches and conveyed much
energy and enjoyment. The
orchestra gave excellent support
to the guest musicians.
Although the strings dominated
the concert, the winds and
percussions had a significant
role.

The program concluded with
Mozart's "Six German Dances."
Although enjoyable, this selec-
tion was light and certainly not
as popular as the other pieces.
As one student commented, "If
the concert had ended after one
of the earlier pieces, the ap-
plause would have been
greater."

All in all, the concert was
superb. Agnes Scott was
privileged to host the Pittsburgh
Symphony Chamber Orchestra
during its one night visit to
Atlanta.

Larsen's Side: Runner Really Stumbles

by Laramie Larsen
Until I saw The Runner Stum-
bles, I had considered Soylent
Green to be the worst movie I
had ever seen. Now I know
better. Stanley Kramer has a real
floppo on his hands with The
Runner Stumbles. It is a
surprisingly bad film. Taken from
a play by Milan Stitt, the story
line contains the potential for
excellent drama. During the
1920s a priest in a moribund
mining town in Washington
state falls in love with a beautiful
young nun. She becomes for him
the image-bearer of the God he
had previously lost. The two
deny their feelings until the

night the convent burns. That
night they confess their love for
one another, argue about what
to do and the crazed but well-
meaning cook murders the nun

The priest is tried for the murder
but the cook confesses. I am
revealing the ending because
the movie is not worth the $3.75
charged by Loew s 1 2 Oaks. Not
by a long shot.

I think the play by Stitt is
probably very interesting. It
should be mentioned that Stitt
also wrote the screenplay. I
blame Stanley Kramer's poor
direction for the disappointing
movie. I also blame Dick Van

Dyke, who manages to walk
through the role of Father
Rivard, the priest, without any
feeling for the role. Well, that is
not entirely true. . Van Dyke
seems embarrassed about the
whole movie, as well he might.
Kathleen Quinlan is competent
as Sister Rita, but her role is not
' often demanding. Mostly Sister
Rita picks flowers, teaches the
children of the parish to sing
"My Rumble-Seat Gal" and
makes her pupils love tne
multiplication tables. It is a com-
bination of The Singing Nun and
"Room 222". Ray Bolger is
unremarkable as Monsignor

Nicholson. Even Beau Bridges is
unable to perform his small role
in an inspired way. As the lawyer
appointed to defend Father
Rivard, Bridges is corny and in-
sincere. His performance is in
keeping with the film.

Only Tammy Grimes as Erna
and Maureen Stapleton as the
cook (whose name escapes me)
can be commended for their
performances, but they are
fighting losing battles. Nothing
can save this abysmal movie.

What Kramer lacks as a direc-
tor is subtlety. All that is said and
done is predictable and blatant.

The flashbacks are approached
clumsily and the symbolism isall
too obvious. Kramer allows no
room for question and doubt as
lightning flashes when the
priest talks of God while he is in
jail. Laszlo Kovacs' photography
is par with Kramer's direction.

The scenery i n Washington state
is nice, but for that I could see a
travelogue. The attempts at
comic relief are ridiculous as
well, tending to slide into gooey
sweetness and melodrama.

All in all, The Runner Stum-
bles is a film to avoid. It not only
stumbles, it falls flat on its face.

Chiefs Successful With "Sockey"

by Mary Anne
Hill

This year the North American
Soccer League is having its first
season of indoor soccer, a game
jokingly called "Sockey" due to
its similarity to the game of ice
hockey. The resemblance
between the two games lies
chiefly in the pace of the action -
- they are both extremely fast
games. Because of the speed of
the game, the players find
themselves involved in the ac-
tion all of the time. To prevent
them from tiring too quickly, the
players are interchanged on a
rapid basis.

Like hockey, and unlike out-
door soccer, the indoor game is
played in a confined area with a
smaller goal. Because of the res-
tricted space, less attention is
focused on dribbling skills. As a
result, more significance is
placed on a quick passing game.
Indoor soccer is as much a game
of instinct as it is one of strategy
and skill, mainly because of the

pressure which the fast pace
puts the players under.

The NASL has 10 teams,
divided into two divisions
(Eastern and Western), playing
in the indoor winter season.
There are twelve games in the
regular season: six at home and
six away for each team. A team
can only play the others in its
own division, and at the end of
the season the top three in each
division qualify for the playoffs.

One team which is a shoe-in
for the playoffs are our own
Atlanta Chiefs. The Chiefs find
themselves in a race for the
Eastern Division Title, as they
are tired for first place with the
world-famous Tampa Bay
Rowdies. The soccer team has
taken many people by surprise
this season, considering that
this has been their first
experience with the indoor form
of soccer. The Chiefs can still be
considered a rookie team (this is

their second year) so they can be
especially proud of their
success.

The Atlanta team has no
superstars on its roster, and the
average age of the team is 24. So
considering that they've had lit-
tle or no indoor experience, why
are the Chiefs at the top? The
players accredit their success to
teamwork, but two of the players
stand out. The goalkeeping of
Victor Nogueira has been one
reason for the Chiefs' progress,
and the scoring of forward Neill
Roberts is another.

The Atlanta Chiefs' games are
played at the Omni, which can
be reached in twenty minutes by
taking the Rapid Rail system
from Decatur. The next game is
this Saturday, February 2 at 1
p.m. against the Ft. Lauderdale
Strikers. Student ticket prices
are $3 general admission. For
more information, call 577-
KICK.

The Atlanta Chiefs indoor soccer team is doing well for a
newcomer to the league. Games are played at the Omni and
anyone can travel there easily on the Marta Train.

Colleen McCoy, freshman
A.A. representative, tried to
organize a soccer team that
would compete against local
high school teams. The games
are scheduled every Saturday
for a six week season. Since
Colleen could not assure the
organizer of the league that
Agnes Scott could field a team
every week, she declined the
offer to make Agnes Scott a

member of the league. However
there will be some soccer prac-
tices held this quarter in hopes
that Agnes Scott could join a
league next year.

Thanks to all donors of blood in
the drive last week. Agnes Scott
contributed 108 pints of blood.

A.A. is planning a student-
faculty basketball game. No date
has been set.

meet. The tentative date is
Wednesday, Feb. 27.

tramural basketball season were

Twelve ASC Students In
Fall Extern Program

Seven seniors, four juniors
and one sophomore spent the
first week of Christmas break
(November 26-30) "externing"
in career fields of their choice.

The Extern Program, new this
year, is for students who are
eager for more career exposure
than the Shadow Program
provides, but who don't have
time for a longer, more intensive
internship. Participants spend a
concentrated five-day period
during fall or spring vacation
gaining a "behind-the-scenes"
look at different careers. For the
Fall 1 979 session, twenty-one
placements in sixteen different
career fields were offered. Of the
final sponsors, eleven were
alumnae and one was the hus-
band of an alumna.

for one hour each way to work.

Mary Anne, whose belief in her
English major was reaffirmed,
was overwhelmed by the
amount she learned not only
about publishing but about the
vital need for work experience
and about life in the "working
world." "It's so different from
school because everything is not
laid out for you. We were very
tired after long, long days."

Sandy Burson's sponsor, an en-
vironmental specialist, arranged
for Sandy '80 to spend each day
working with personnel from
different departments within the

lab, Sandy accompanied a
geologist inspecting landfills on
an all-day trip On her arrival at
Community Friendship, a private
psycho-social rehabilitation
center for chronically disturbed
patients, Alison Bannen '80
immediately began to function
as a member of the staff. She
attended staff meetings, worked
with counselors, observed in-
dividual and group therapy ses-

sions, published a newsletter
and even led an informal group
session. Alison combined her
externship with a Shadow
Program in personnel, as did Liz
Mosgrove '80, who spent four
days with a pediatrician "hold-
ing screaming children" and the
fifth with a marine biologist.

CPO worked with the students
to find housing; however,
externs were responsible for
their own meals and
transportation to and from work.

Due to the success of the first
ASC Extern Program, CPO will
not only offer the program in
March but plans to expand it
next year to include placements
outside Atlanta. A number of
exciting placement exist for the
Spring session, including
Church Administration, Law En-
forcement Administration,
Strategic Corporate Planning
and Historic Preservation.

Watch for CPO's an-
nouncement of placements
coming out this week. Ap-
plications are available from
Libby Wood in CPO.

Public Safety Commissioner Speaks

Atlanta Public Safety Com-
missioner Lee P. Brown will
speak Thursday, Feb. 7, at Agnes
Scott College on the Public
Safety Department's response
to crime in Atlanta.

Commissioner Brown will
speak at 8:15 p.m. in Agnes
Scott's Presser Hall. Sponsored
by Students for Black
Awareness at Agnes Scott, his
talk is open to the public.

The president of Students for
Black Awareness, Emily Moore,

explained why her organization
invited the Commissioner to
Agnes Scott. She said,
"Students are concerned about
Atlanta's rising crime rate -
particularly the crimes of rape
and homicide. We want to know
what Commissioner Brown
plans to do to make Atlanta safer
for residents and visitors."

Commissioner Brown, who
has come up through the ranks
of public safety work, was ap-
pointed Commissioner of Public

Safety by Mayor Maynard
Jackson in May, 1 978. The Com-
missioner had previously served
as a police officer in the 1960s
and then in the early 1970s as
associate director of the Institute
for Urban Affairs and Research
and professor of public ad-
ministration at Howard
University. He was sheriff and
director of public safety in
Multnomah County, Oregon and
then from 1976 to 1978 that
county's director of tr>e

Department of Justice Services.

Commissioner Brown holds a
doctorate in criminology from
the University of California,
Berkeley and a master's in
sociology from California State
University, San Jose.

The recipient of many honors,
he was appointed by President
Carter as the U.S. national
correspondent to the United
Nations Program on the Preven-
tion of Crime and Treatment of
Offenders.

He serves as a consultant to
federal, state and local
governments on issues related
to crime and criminal justice and
is a consultant to the Law En-
forcement Assistance Ad-
ministration and Community
Relations Service of the U.S.
Department of Justice.

A member of numerous
professional organizations, he is
chairman of the National
Minority Advisory Council on
Criminal Justice.

Haworth Leads Public Politics Class

"The era of abundance that
created and nourished
America's political values and
institutions are rapidly coming to
a close. Many now living will

ing ecological limits."
Mr. Steven Haworth, political
scientist at Agnes Scott,
explained the basis for his public
short course, "Politics and the

the course participants will
analyze the political implications
of the multi-dimensional en-
vironmental crisis.

Physically Handicapped Benefited
Hazzard Provides Scholarship Fund

by Colleen Flaxington

The late Julia Ingram Hazzard
has provided for a trust fund of
more than $325,000 to aid
physically handicapped students
wishing to attend Agnes Scott.

This money will undergird the
present scholarship funds. The
endowment will be used, as is
Agnes Scott policy, to assist in

$15 for adults and $5 for
students.

Mr. Haworth is basing the
course on readings from the
book "Ecology and the Politics of
Scarcity" by William Ophuls.
Class meetings will cover the
following topics: Feb. 7, "The Im-

Board of Trustees Meets,
Discusses Future Expenditures

by Mary Beth Hebert

In a recent interview, President
Marvin Perry described the
winter quarter meeting of the
Board of Trustees as "very en-
couraging."

As is usually the case with this
meeting (the Board meets once a
quarter), a primary topic was the
College's finances. A number of
Agnes Scott's needs for the next
10-20 years were outlined. In-
cluded on the list were the mat-
ching money needed for the NEH
ChaHenge Grant (to be used for
humanities faculty and library
increases), the renovation of
Campbell Hall, and a new

physical education building. The
latter two expenditures are es-
timated at about 3 million dollars
each. The new gym will include
exercise rooms, dressing rooms
for both male and female
faculty/staff and guests, a
sauna and steam-bath, and a
year-round swimming pool.

Additional projects planned
before the end of the century are
the renovation of the public
rooms in the dorms, a new
student center, and increases in
library and financial aid funds.

The Board will meet again in
the spring.

Chemistry. After her graduation,
she stayed for awhile at Agnes

Mrs. Hazzard dedicated much of
her time to volunteer causes
which dealt with human needs
such as the Red Cross and hos-

Mr. Paul McCain says of Mrs.
Hazzard's endowment,
"Everybody benefits from a gift
like this, because it increases

have been used for disabled girls
may now serve girls with other

Tedious Drama Unfolds In "The Europeans"

by Laramie Larsen

James Ivory has directed a
movie version of Henry James'
novel The Europeans. The script
for the movie was written by
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, and it left
me cold. It is a tiresome and
tedious film which seems much
longer than it really is, although
it is difficult to say why this is so.

Lee Remick is consistently
good, but not outstanding, in the
role of the Baroness. Thv
problem with her performance is
that her motives are never clear,
and I felt I needed a better
understanding of this important
character in order to enjoy the
film. Lisa Eichorn was
sympathetic to her character of

George Bush: G.O.P. Hopeful

by Marcia Whetsel

George Bush, one of the
contenders for the G.O.P.
presidential nomination who
upset party favorite Reagan in
the recent Iowa Caucuses, feels
that American voters are ready
for an experienced hand in the
White House. Regarded as a
G.01 P. conservative, Bush feels
that he has that experience.

Born in Milton, Mass. on June
12, 1924, Bush received what
some consider the perfect
schooling for a life in politics.

He graduated from Phillips
Academy in Andover, Mass., in
1942 and enlisted in the Naval
Reserve. During World War II, he
served as a carrier pilot. His
plane was shot down over the
Pacific, and he was rescued by a
submarine. He completed his ac-
tive duty in 1945 as a lieutenant.

After the war, he entered Yale
University majoring in
economics. He captained the
baseball team and graduated
with honors in 1948, finishing

his studies in less than three
years.

Hethen wenttowork as an oil-
field-supply salesman in
Midland, Texas, later helping to
found the Zapata Petroleum
corporation, and eventually
forming an offshore
multimillion-dollar venture with
oeprations around the world.

In 1 959 he moved to Houston,
where he became active in
Republican affairs. In f964 Bush
won the Republican nomination
to run for the Senate, but lost to
incumbent Democrat Ralph
Yarborough.

Two years later, however,
Bush was elected to Congress
from Houston's seventh district
and was reelected in 1968. He
served on the House Ways and
Means Committee, where his
vote normally followed the
Republican line.

During his term, Bush pushed
legislation to require lawmakers
to disclose their personal
finances. As a presidential can-
didate, he has released his in-

come tax returns for the last six
years. He estimates his net
worth today at around 1.8
million dollars.

In 1970, Bush ran again for
the Senate at the urging of
President Nixon, but lost to
conservative Democrat Lloyd
Bentsen.

A month later, Nixon named
Bush his United Nations Am-
bassador. Bush actively fought
for the administration's "two
China" policy while he served in
this office.

In 1973, Bush took over as
Republican national chairman,
just in time to see the Watergate
scandal threaten the entire
party. He responded to the crisis
by traveling around the country
to bolster morals and keep the
party separate from the scandal
in Washington.

In October of 1 973 when Spiro
Agnew resigned as Vice
President, Bush was talked
about by some as a possible
replacement, but Nixon finally
settled on Gerald Ford. In the

Stevenson Leads Now And Tomorrow

by Laurie McBrayer

In the past decade, more and
more women entered the
political arena. Lieutenant
Governor of South Carolina,
Nancy Stevenson, is just one of
these women; however, she can
boast of a special ac-
complishment. She was the first
woman in South Carolina to win
an election for a statewide of-
fice.

She said, "I do not feel it has
been either an advantage or
disadvantage to be a woman
holding this office, . . .the time
was certain right for the voters to
make a decision based on merit
rather than gender."

Ms. Stevenson who is a wife
and mother, has filled multiple
career roles: newswriter,
author, stage actress and his-
toric preservationist. She
attended Smith, a college for
women in Northhampton, MA.

Her parents did not permit her to
go to Wellesley, her f irst choice,
or to major in math. Thus, her
interest in college declined. She
studied literature and writing
and majored in philosophy, all in
keeping with her parents'
wishes.

She first became involved in
politicsin 1 974 when she won a
seat in the Charleston House.
When her term expired she ran
for lieutenant governor and won.
In this office, she governs the all
male state Senate. She was
quoted in a South Carolina
newspaper, The State, as saying
"I kept waiting for the
honeymoon (with the Senate) to
be oyer: it still isn't. They
couldn't have been more
cooperative the entire session.

Ms. Stevenson's current
interest is the PAL (Program As-
sistance Line) project. She
explained, "The PAL program is

step-by-step procedures of ac-
quiring a home loan. The

following year, with Nixon's
resignation, Bush again was in
strong contention for the
nation's No. 2 post, but lost out
to Nelson Rockefeller.

In Sept. of 1 974, Bush went to
Peking as Ford's chief of the U.S.
liaison office. In late 1975 he
returned to the U.S. to head the
Central Intelligence Agency.
After Carter's election Bush
returned to Houston, but now he
hopes to return to Washington,
as President.

For Bush, running for

President is a family affair. His

Ms. Stevenson said that she

the first woman in a statewide

Scotfies Spanish Style!

by Ann Conner

"The natives often refused to
believe we were American since
we attemptedto communicate in
their own language. Often it was
actually a task to convince
them," is just one of a myriad of
the interesting comments des-
cribing a recent trip to Spain
taken by six Spanish students
from Agnes Scott. T. Lancaster
Maria Haddon, Anna Prieto,
Veronica Denis, Lee Kite and
Nicci Pittman accompanied Mrs.
Constance Shaw, chairman of
the Spanish department, arrived
in Madrid, November 21. The
travelers spent three weeks
touring Madrid and the surroun-
ding areas, and then journeyed
to Malaga on the Mediterranean
coast for the final week. "It's not
until you return home that you
are able to realize the full impact
of everything you have seen and
experienced," commented

Maria Haddon, a freshman.

The students agree that the
success of their trip was partly
due to the fact that they lived in
Spanish homes. "We took our
meals with them, and talked
with them. The family with
whom we stayed even served us
breakfast in bedl Can you
imagine? We learned so much
more about the people by living
with them," praised Lee Kite.

When asked to pinpoint
extreme contrasts with our own
country, the students mentioned
the ornate architecture and the
advanced public transit system.
("In the cities we saw few cars.
People walked and depended on
the public facilities for
transportation.") Also, the
Spanish still observe the custom
of having two hour siestas every
afternoon when all business
halts.

We Have Political Clout: So Show It!

Last Monday, I attended a
three-ring circus. No, not
Barnum and Bailey. . .but the
Georgia General Assembly. Six
Agnes Scott students travelled
to the State Capitol to hear a
public debate on the issue of
raising the drinking age to
twenty-one.

My first intention was to
somehow show that even a
twenty-two year old can be
against raisingthe legal drinking
age. But my experience was far
more educational. In response to
speeches about why students
are against the unanimous
decision by the Temperance
Committee, members of that
committee asked questions.

Most questions ranged from a
"Where did you get those statis-
tics? . . ." to "are they reliable?. .
." etc. . .so that the entire day
was wasted on arguing the
validity of a speaker's statistics.

One student brought out that
some statistics had not been
considered in the Temperance
Committee 's decisions, to which
one member replied: "I can't
seem to find those in my files,
can you supply me with copies?. .

Another legislator asked an
S.G.A. President how he was so
informed as to speak for the
student body at his institution.

The highlight of the day came in
the young man's response: ". .
.I'm elected to represent. . .just
like you are, sir. . ."

A Georgia State University
speaker was asked how

eighteen year olds at his school,
one whose average age is a good
deal higher, would be affected.

The G.S.U. student replied: "-
Just like eighteen year olds
anywhere else. . ."

The point here is that I
witnessed the most most disap-
pointing show of ineptitude by
these legislators than I could

Dear Editor:

The editorial by Cookie Hooper
in the January 21st issue of The
Profile has so shocked me and
saddened me I cannot condone
such irresponsible editorializing
by remaining silent. I have had
many RTC students in my
classes since the program
began, and a large number of
them have also been majors in
the Art Department. They have
contributed a very great deal to
the classes and to the
department, and I have always
felt there was a warm rapport
between them and the other
students in this department. The
fact an RTC student was elected
President of Art Club last year
would certainly bear that out.

Many of the RTC students come
to Agnes Scott under the most
difficult circumstances. They are

members gave little credibility to
the eighteen - twenty-one year
old age group. This group
produced the most outstanding
speeches however. And of the
ten speeches I heard, only one
student spoke for the bill. The
other pro-bill speakers were
adults, the group most
legislators think they can
depend on for votes. And it is this
fact that disturbs me.
Eighteen to twenty-one year

olds have voting powers but out
potential has not been
significantly used. Regardless of
how many were pro or con rais-
ing the drinking age, there were
plenty of students there to show
we have the potential to rid the
legislatures of such clowning as
was witnessed last Tuesday. I
found it humiliating, frustrating
and maddening and so did the
overflow crowd in the gallery

responsible for caring for
families and homes as well as
studying, and some must even
work part-time in order to come
to this college. They are all here
because they desperately desire
to get a good education, and to
suggest otherwise amounts to a
petty meanness.

One of the greatest features of
Agnes Scott College has always
been a caring and an understan-

members of this community. For
the first time in my 28 years at
Agnes Scott I felt a little of that
die with Miss Hooper's editorial.

Dear Editor:

Two weekends ago (Jan. 19-
20), I "suffered" through ten
hours of simulated physical and
mental abuse. It wasn't easy to
stand there and take it - and I did
come out with a few bruises.

But, more important, I came out
of the experience with a higher
level of self-confidence(someth-
ing I had thought I already
possessed in abundance) and
the ability to avoid or divert an at-
tacker.

In case you haven't guessed, I
was one of the fourteen people
who took advantage of the
Women's Self-Defense
Workshop offered here. Terry
McGehee, after taking the
course last quarter, was
concerned and considerate
enough to arrange for the same
course to be taught at Scott - a
logical idea to my mind (we were
all women the lasttime I looked).

The course was taught by
Mananna Kaufman, a Black Belt
in karate, but karate had little to
do with the course. She taught
practical self-defense, showing
avoidance techniques (and
believe me, there is a technique
to avoidance), as well as physical
defenses, all of which got
tiresome, but none of which
were impossible.

As one who lived through
these ten fatigue-inspiring
hours, I must say I enjoyed the
workshop for practical reasons.
As Marianna pointed out, 99% of
all violent attacks are made on
women - that's right, women
just like you and me. For sure,
not a one of us deserves to be at-
tacked, whether it be verbal
abuse or rape and murder. It's
only sensible for a woman to
protect herself under these
circumstances, since the statis-
tics are against us. For these
reasons, I was disappointed that
Scott did not fill its quota for
class membership. Those people
who came at least listened and
gave the course a chance.

Anyone who couldn't take the
physical exertion (we did prac-
tice a lot) was free to leave. And I
think I speak for the lot of us
when I say that I think that what
we learned was well worth the
time, the money, the sore mus-
cles and the early hours. The
program was designed so as to
not infringe on weekend social
activity. Anyone who cares for
herself (and we've just left the
"me" decade) owes herself the
time and effort reqired to take
this course. I sincerely hopethat,
should the course be offered
again, a more enthusiastic res-
ponse will be heard from both
students and staff. Any one of us
who took it will tell you it was
well worth it.

Dear Ms. Maitland,

I agree that the world is no
composed of neuters, but I do no
believe the use of non-sexist
language gears us towards a
neuter world. The use of sexist
versus non-sexist language is an
issue of power. It is an issue of
i n c I u s i ve n e ss versus
exclusiveness.

Most history texts and political
documents are written in the
generic "he" or "man". Of
course we understand those

monitors. The student activism
was a delightful show if the
debate was not.

Here at Agnes Scott, we are a
poor excuse for a political
hotbed. But our age group, and
our sex is going to force us to
face some crucial issues in the
future, especially with the draft
issue so imminent. I encourage
everyone to get up on a platform
and rally. around
SOMETHING.

terms to embrace the concept of
humanity, but what subtle self-
images do they foist on us? Our
mental pictures automatically
supply a male image. We see
men (non-generic) of the past
shaped the destiny of men of the
future. Our children grow up
with these subconscious
images.

The specific history of women is
either buried or ignored. And our
children view life/history as
men in action.

Women, by the use of sexist
language, are relegated to a
status of lesser importance. I can
only imagine what our self
concepts would be had we
grown up hearing, "God created
people, male and female God
created them," or ". . .dedicated
to the proposition that all people
are created equal."

Firefighters put out fires -
male and female firefighters.
What a heritage we are giving
our children! Those statements
would prevent children from
making assumptions that would
box them into sex-stereotyped
roles. If our language does not
reflect this, how can they
become aware of that heritage?

I want my daughter to grow up
aware of her full potential. That
awareness is infused by the way
the world relates to her. The
most formidable sources of in-
fluence are the press, television
and radio. How, through the
exclusive sexist language, do
they relate to her?

None of us is neuter. We are
each male or female. Fifty one
percent of us are female. May
my daughter never grow up to be
a chairman, policeman,
fireman, etc. . . People chair
committees, fight fires, and en-
force the law - and some of them
are women.

We cannot deny the power of
language. Voltaire said, "The
pen is mightier than the sword,"
and likethe sword, language can
be wielded to subjugate or free
people.

Iowa Caucus
Full of Surprises

by Marcia Whetsel

President Carter lead over
Edward Kennedy with a two to
one margin in the Iowa
Democratic Caucuses on Jan.
21 . Governor Edmund Brown of
California did not receive
enough votes to show in the
results.

In the Republican Caucuses,
former U.N. Ambassador George
Bush upset Ronald Reagan, the
leading Republican contender,
with a narrow lead. Tennessee
Senator Howard Baker held a
strong third, with former Texas
governor John Connally in
fourth place and Phillip Crane of
Illinois and Robert Dole of Kan-
sas tieing for fifth place.

Political leaders are drawing
these conclusions from the
results:

- The grain embargo did not
hurt Carter much in the belt.
The groundwork laid in 1976
activated by phone calls from
the White House and cam-
paigning done by the First Lady

Law Scores
Run Late

Applicants to law schools are
advised that delays in delivery of
a new computer system have
resulted in a backlog of Law
School Data Assembly Service
(LSDAS) reports to law schools.

Law schools have been made
aware of the problem through
frequent updating on the status
of the processing schedule.

Although law school ad-
mission offices may be
somewhat slowed in making
their decisions, students can be
assured that fairness will be
paramount, and no individuals
will be penalized for late report-
ing delays incurred by the
LSDAS.

Because of the backlog, it is
estimated that, at the current
processing rate, there will be
delays for about the next eight
weeks. Staff have been greatly
expanded and are working long
hours to meet these problems.

Educational Testing Service
(ETS), which administers the
LSDAS, regrets any personal in-
convenience to candidates.

The LSDAS was begun in
1970 at the request of the law
schools. Its purpose is to sum-
marize information from college
transcripts, test scores from the
Law School Admission Test and
other biographical information
used for evaluation by the law
school admission offices.

and cabinet officials carried
Carter through 1 980.

Kennedy's campaign
organization in Iowa was not
very effective, but the Senator
is far from knocked out of the
race.

- Bush was boosted, Reagan
was wounded by doing worse
than expected. Connally was
wounded, perhaps mortally, by
doing poorly despite a large
investment of time and money.

- Baker is still active, having
done what he said he had to do
- finish third.

- The candidates expected to
be "also-rans," also ran.

Washington Semester Described

(Editor's note: Lucia Rawls
and Lisa DeGrandi write about
their experiences in the
Washington Semester Program.

Like "Mack the Knife," Lisa
and Lucia are "back in town!"
With the upheaval in the Middle
East, town meetings at the
Kennedy Center, briefings at the

C. I. A., and receptions on Capitol
Hill - it's needless to say that Lisa
and Lucia were swept off their
feet by t he wi nds of Wa sh i ngton .

These are just afew highlights
from our experiences on the
Washington Semester Program.
This program offers a variety of
different fields of interest within
the Federal government. Both of
us chose to participate in the
Foreign Policy Section of this
program. The structure con-
sisted of four courses: an
internship, a seminar series
dealing with the Middle East, a
seminar series dealing with the
Third World development and an
independent research project.
Two days a week were devoted
to the internship, which was
working in a government related
agency, and three days a week
were devoted to attending
seminars which were held
either on the American
University campus or
throughout the Metropolitan
Washington area. The
independent research project
dealt with a current issue span-
ning the length of the semester.
The program is open to both
juniors and seniors.

Lisa DeGrandi, '80:

As a senior, I had many
reasons for participating on this
program. My strongest reason
was that, as a political science
major, I was thinking of my
future goals. What I learned
previously in many of my
political science courses here at
Scott was illustrated to me in
Washington. I became involved
with the political arena as an
intern on Capitol Hill and as a
student, I saw politics in action. I
worked for Congressman James

D. Santini (D. -Nevada).

Congressman Santini is the sub-
committee chairman on Mines
and Mining. In the office I han-
dled constituent affairs and did
research for the subcommittee. I
gained from this experience both
confidence in myself as a
student and as a congressional
staff member.

My independent research pro-
ject was related to my work on
the Hill. My project consisted of
research on the U.N. Law of the
Sea Conference, focusing on the
mining of seabeds. For this pro-
ject, I interviewed officials of the
U.N. delegation at the State
Department, mining industry
lobbyists, congressional leaders
as well as the Ambassador of
Peru. The experiences and
knowledge gained from this
program could not be acquired in
any book.

The Foreign Policy Program is
only one of several offered ont
he Washington Semester
Program. The others include
Economic Policy, American
Studies Program, National
Institutions (the original
Washington Semester
Program), Urban Policy, and
Judicial Policy. Agnes Scott
nominates at least two students
to particpate each fall. For those
interested, applications will be
due before spring break. Jf you
have any questions on the
nature of the program, the cost
involved, etc., there is a tentative
meeting set for February 13 at
6:00 p.m. in the McKinney Date
Parlor; or contact Steve Haworth
of the Political Science
Department, Lisa DeGrandi or
Lucia Rawls.

Lucia Rawls '81 :
I went to Washington as a
junior, which for me was best.

Being a double major in English
and political science, I had a
variety of viewpoints and
backgrounds for my English ma-
jor, but my exposure was limited
for the political science major.

This and the "antsy" feelings
many sophomores experience
caused me to consider transferr-

ing to another school (most
probably a larger coed school).

The Washington Semester
seemed an answer to both
problems, though, in that it gave
me the additional exposure I felt I
needed and gave me a chanceto
experience university life. Both
educationally and personally,
the Washington Semester was a
successful, growing experience.

I worked on Capitol Hill for my
state senator, Senator Strom
Thurmond. Working for a very
conservative Republican
senator definitely gave me
exposure at the other end of the
spectrum than I was used to! The
seminars were especially
interesting to me as I am quite
interested in the Middle East

(the events of the fall, too, were
very exciting in terms of my
interest!) and I did my research
on the strain on the special
relationship between the United
States and Saudi Arabia. Out-
side the academic structure I
found a world in Washington
which totally fascinated, in-
trigued, beckkoned - any word
which follows this line - me. I
was "bitten by the bug" of
Washington! All the vague ideas
I had considered about my future
was capsulated and given direc-
tion, which has changed (for the
better!) my attitude toward the
rest of school. I'm excited about
finishing school, learning all I
can from Agnes Scott, then
eventually returning to
Washington - I can't wait!

Letter to Miss Manue

(Note: the following is a letter
received by Miss Kay Manuel.)

Dear Dr. Manuel and members
of the Athletic Association:

Congratulations on an
extremely successful blood drive
on January 15! You beat your
original goal of 75 pints grandly,
and the precious pints of blood
that you donated have saved the
lives of leukemics,
hemophiliacs, accident victims,
and many other grateful patients
throughout Georgia.

The official facts and figures
are these: a total of 1 1 9 heroines

presented themselves at the
donor belt line, and there were
only 1 1 medical deferrals, so we
were able to collect 1 08 pints of
precious blood. There were 35
first time donors, which testifies
to the persuasive skills of our
recruitment team. You can pat
yourselves on the back for a job
well done.

Your strong support during the
month of January is deeply ap-
preciated. The vital community
function of voluntary blood
donations is even more neces-
sary during this month because
of low inventories from the
Christmas season, when there

Mary Ebinger, Cathy Stearns and Jennifer Williams listen
to the wisdom of Kim Lenoir? In games played on Jan.
28, the freshmen defeated the seniors 23-15, and the
sophomores won by default. Jennifer Williams was the
high scorer with 8 points.

Philosophers Debate Creation, Evolution Issue

by Julie Babb

On Thursday, February 14 at
8 15 p m. in PResser Hall, the
Philosophy Department will
sponsor a great debate. The
debate will focus on the issue
challenged in the Ga. Legislative
House Bill 690 that calls for the
teaching of the biblical account
of creation, as well as the theory
of evolution in public schools.
The biblical account has been

termed "scientific creationism"
and is defined in the House Bill
as "the belief, based upon scien-
tific principles, that there was a
time in the past when all matter,
energy, and life, and their
processes and relationships
werfe created ex nihilo (out of
nothing) and fixed by creative
and intelligent design " In'reac-

tion to this Act, many groups,
among them the American Civil
Liberties Union, have protested
that such moves are in violation
of the First Amendment to the
Constitution.

The Philosophy Department is
holding a debate between a
proponent of creation and a
proponent of evolution. The
debate is not over whether
creationism should be taught in

Junior Jaunt Successful

by Laurie McBrayer

As a result of "Junior Jaunt,"
the annual campuswide charity
drive, over $500 was raised. The
individual classes organized pro-
jects and voted to donate money
to the United Methodist
Children's Home. This year's
theme was "The Wizard of Oz."

The sophomore class spon-
sored a Kansas picnic on
Thursday, Januaryt 31 including
fried or baked chicken, corn on
the cob, lima beans, spinach,
nee, cherry-lime salad, tossed
salad, sourdough bread and
cheese and chocolate cream pie
Contributions totaling $165
were collected at the door.

Thursday evening the junior
class presented a talent show.
Mary Ebinger directed the
program. Liz Steele sang
"Where are the Clowns" and
she was accompanied by Susan
Nicol. Anna Bryan played the
guitar and sang "American
Tune," "Your Love Broke
Through" and "The Prince."
Simone Hart sang

"Steamroller," "My Show" and
"Jail Bait," a song that she com-
posed. A group called "The
Preppers," including Missy
Carpenter, Kathy Helgesen,
Sharon Johnson, Joanie
Mackey and Leslie Miller,
performed the Spinner's recent
hit "I'm Working My Way Back to
You." The group will give a
reprisal in the talent show dur-
ing Sophomore Parents'
Weekend, Feb. 22-23. Susan
Dodson played the guitar and
sang "Mary's Lullaby," an
original song. The "Psychettes":
Kim Clark, Sarah Fairburn and
Kathy Hollywood wore white
laboratory jackets and sang a
parody of "We," recorded by the
Roche Sisters. Guitarist Beth
Maisano and Bonnie Brooks
sang "When the Party's Over"
and "We've Got to Get You a
Woman." Becky Moorer and
Karla Sefcik sang "Memories, "a

freshman fall quarter. She also
sang "14 Karats" while 14
freshmen who were dressed as

carrots danced in the
background. The last act, a skit
based on Saturday Night Live,
was performed by the Deans, of-
fice personnel and dormitory
parents. The junior class
collected $100 at the talent
show.

Six seniors: Sandy Burson,
Susie Ham, T. Lancaster, Liz
Mosgrove, Kelley Murphey, and
Peggy Somers were dressed as

the raffle items were a dozen
roses from Mr. Brown, dessert

reached $275.

The freshman class did small
chores for other students for

Junior class president Sarah
Campbell said, "I would like to
thank all the classes for their en-
thusiasm and help. Junior Jaunt
was a big success."

New Course Offers Law
Interpretation and Implementation

by Nicole Pretlow

Among the new and
enlightening courses offered
this Spring is one called "The
United States Legal System,"
sponsored by the Political
Science Department of Agnes
Scott College. This 300-level
course draws five hours of
credit, and is taught by legal
authoritarian Harriet King.

The scope of the course is des-
cribed as "A study of the
institutions, processes, basic
concepts, and pe r sonnel of the
U S judicial system."

The Instructor, Ms. King, isthe
associate professor of law at
Emory University. She received
her bachelor's degree from
Agnes Scott College, and her
law degrees from the
Universities of Vanderbilt and
Harvard.

Agnes Scott has long needed a
liberal arts course designed to
inform the students about how
laws are interpreted and im-
plemented. Dept. Chairman
Steven Haworth is quite excited
about the course topic; he
believes that an "understanding

of the legal system is important "

Ms. King's course is actually
an adaptation of the 1 90 course
currently being offered, "The
Legal System: A Citizen's
Perspective," taught by Austin
Miller. Both courses are
designed to give the student a
basic technical understanding of
how our legal system works
(Course prerequisite: course is
open mainly for juniors and
seniors, and those sophomores
with a grade B or above in at
least two political science
courses at the 1 00 or 200 level.)

public schools but over whether
the theories of evolution and of
scientific creationism are
science and religion. The
department feels that there are
philosophical issues behind the
political issues and that
philosophy can have bearings on
practical issues. Therefore they
are sponsoring the debate in
hopes that it will shed some light
on the subject. Members of both
the House Bill 690 Committee
and of the DeKalb County Board
of Education have been invited.

The debaters will be Mr. J.
Hank Rainwater, a research
scientist with the Engineering

Experiment Station at Georgia
Tech, who believes that the
creation account is no more
based on faith than is the theory
of evolution, and Professor
Robert Almeder, a philosopher
of science in the department of
philosophy at Georgia State
University, who believes that the
creation account is not a scien-
tific theory and that evolutionary
theory is. The issue between the
two is whether the creation ac-
count and the evolution theory
are importantly different in the
assumptions each makes
whether one ranks as science
and the other does not.

Big Names Speak
At Political Forum

The Mortar Board Chapter of
Agnes Scott will be sponsoring a
forum entitled "Issues and
Concerns of the 1 980 Elections"
on Tuesday and Wednesday,
February 1 2 and 13. National is-
sues and the role of the news
media in the presidential elec-
tions will be the topic on Tues-
day, February 12 at 7:30 PM in
Rebekah Reception Room.
Guest speakers for the panel dis-
cussion on this night will be Lou
Davis of WSB-TV, Richard Mat-
thews of the Atlanta Journal, Bill
Shipp of the Atlanta
Constitution, Tom Houck of
WGST, and Holly Morris of the
Newsweek staff

Wait! That's not all! On
Wednesday, February 1 3 at 7:00
PM in Rebekah Reception Room,
the campaign issues of local,
state, and national elections will
be discussed. Charles Newton,

attorny and member of the Com-
mittee to Re-elect the President,
Betty Jo Williams, represen-
tative of the Georgia State
Legislature, and Michael Lomax,
candidate for president of the
City Council will be the dynamic
speakers. Ann Crichton, a
graduate of Agnes Scott and
former mayor of Decatur will be
the moderator both nights
Refreshments will be served
following each program.

Mortar Board has worked hard
to get speakers who will interest
the Agnes Scott students.
Students will have the op-
portunity to ask questions and
make comments. The 1980
elections are just around the
corner, and we all needto get out
and start learning what's
happening out in the "real
world." We hope to see you on
February 12 and 13," says
Kenneth Hatfield, a Mortar
Board member.

Survey Catches Students Unaware

The PROFILE Staff sponsored
an informal survey in the Dining
Hall alst week to get student
opinions on some pressing is-
sues of our time. In the wake of
student unrest of many cam-
puses, our survey showed a
relatively conservative trend. .
or rather a trend towards
"indecision". The students con-
ducting the survey commented
that, ". . some students did not
want to take part in the survey

because they a) did not have an
opinion, b) did not understand
the question of "peacetime
draft," c) or if women registered,
did that mean preparedness for
combat. The survey at least
made them think about these is-
sues.

The survey was taken on
January 29 and a total of 178
students answered the three
questions. Following are the
results.

1 . Are you in favor of register-
ing for the draft?
YES
102

NO

UNDECIDED

2 Are you in favor of a

Regardless of what this unscien-

show, these are the questions
that all of us should be asking

some kind of say in the matter

Lament Of A Vet RTC: The Two Can Meet . . .

I would like to preface this
article by stating that my full
intention upon leaving Agnes
Scott as a Return to College
student last fall was to submit a
letter telling all my friends and

'comrades' how much my year at
Scott had meant to me.
However, as the months grew
longer and my piles of laundry (a
site of ugliness to all of us) grew
higher, I hesitated, then failed in

my endeavor. It was only after
happening upon the ASC Winter
Dance, into which I had in-
nocently wandered with my hus-
band intending to spend a quiet
evening at the 590 West, that I
decided to write this heartfelt,
yet greatly lacking in style of
journalism, composition. I might
add that the evening afforded me
one very merry husband, the op-
portunity tochaffeur him home,
a pair of sore feet, an angry baby-
sitter, an angrier set of
babysitter's parents, and more
fond memories of Agnes Scott.

We arrived very late in the
evening and were told by one
sister', "Don't worry about
paying, I'll tell them you're my
mother." I didn't know whether
to laugh or be insulted. Which
brings me to the ponit of this
article. Why not continue the
jokes, and in doing so, promote
the vast amount of learning the
RTC program grants both groups
of students. It was at Winter
Dance that I learned of the pos-
sible split' developing between
the Return to College and
Traditional students as
evidenced by recent publicity I
say nonsense . . . and you say (1 )
you're too old to realize our
needs and interests, or (2) you're
too young at the age of 25 to
know what life is all about.
Again. I say nonsense. I think I

learned as my greatest lesson
while at ASC that the two can
meet as one.

I graduated from college in
1974, entering ASC as a prac-
ticing registered nurse, a
mother, the wife of an energetic
businessman, and a frustrated
careerwoman searching for the
fulfillment of a goal (the en-
trance into medical school), and
further enrichment of my life. I
found the pathway to one
(medical school), and the
gratification of the second. I
found at ASC what I had been
warned against as lacking in
other schools in the Atlanta area
offering similar RTC programs:
warmth, sincerety, and a sense
of belonging. I found my one
brief year a tremendous exten-
sion of my not-so-distant college
years, during which I had the
time and experience behind me
to appreciate every moment of
time spent. In addition, I have
grown to find myself utilizing the
strengths I absorbed from my
younger classmates to form a
more exciting, dynamic, and in-
novative concept of myself as a
woman, wife, and mother.

The English department will
certainly cite my article as lac-
king in a definitive point, andthe
Psychology department as glow-
ing in paranoia in stating such.
However, should I be called upon

to project a point, it would be
this: I would call upon all to
mend the break before it begins,
and preserve the authenticity
and uniqueness of the RTC
program at ASC. Boarding
students, don't scoff at that in-
vitation to dinner or a study ses-
sion at the home of a RTC
student; and RTCs, open your
doors upon occasion you'll
find it rewarding. RTCs, don't
hibernate in the Hub between
classes . . . and boarding
students, from time to time
provide a nesting place for a
weary RTC by inviting her to your
room. And faculty members,
think ahead should you find
yourself facing a mixed class of
RTCs and boarding students;
offer class time for discussion
and feelings and issues, and
devise assignments conducive
to group study and the sharing of
ideas whenever possible.

I would like to thank the 17
year olds as well as the 65 year
olds for a tremendous
experience in growth that will
always remain a part of me, and
would ask all of you young and
old' alike to talk about your
feelings to one another rather
than wearing them on your
sleeves. Attempt to bridge this
so-called gap to yield a foun-
dation from which all can learn
and grow Continued page 6

Howard Baker: Presidential Hopeful

Sen. Howard Baker

by Marcia Whetsel

Howard H. Baker, Jr. is all for
keeping a Southern accent in the
White House - his own, not
Jimmy Carter's. The 53 year-old
Senate Minority Leader feels
that he is the Republicans' best
hope this year of wiping out the
President's vital base of support
in Dixie.

Baker, a native of East
Tennessee, comes form a family
rich in political tradition. His
father was elected seven times
as U.S. Representative from
Tennessee's second district
When the lawmaker died in of-
fice in 1964, Baker's step-
mother, Irene Bailey Baker, won
a special election and completed
the term. Both of Baker's
grandfathers held public office,

one as a judge, the other a
sheriff.

Born in Huntsville,
Tennessee, on Nov. 15, 1925,
Baker attended public schools
but finished high school in 1 943
at a military academy in Chat-
tanooga. He volunteered at 17
for the Navy's U-12 program
during World War II to study
electrical engineering. He went
on to serve aboard a PT boat in
the South Pacific and was dis-
charged as a lieutenant in 1 946.

When he returned from
service he entered the
University of Tennessee and
received his law degree in 1 949.
Joining a Huntsville law firm
started by his grandfather in
1885, Baker gained such a
courtroom reputation as an able
speaker and tough cross-
examiner that several times he
was hired by the state as a
special prosecutor.

In 1951, Baker married Joy
Dirksen, daughter of Senator

Everett McKinley Dirksen of
Illinois. Dirksen, who died in
1969, served as Senate
Republican leader for 10 years
and was acclaimed by friends
and foes as one of the most
gifted orators in congressional
history.

Baker's first run for public of-
fice was unsuccessful. He
passed up near certain election
to his father's House seat to run
for the Senate in 1964. In a
special election for the late
Senator Estes Kefauver's seat,
Baker lost to Democrat Ross
Bass, but piled up a record vote
total for a Republican candidate
in Tennessee.

Baker came back in 1966 to
win a Senate seat by defeating
former Democratic Governor
Frank Clement. He went on to
two comfortable re-election vic-
tories over Democrats Ray Blan-
ton in 1972, and Jane Eskin in
the fall of 1979

Baker's political career has
come a long way since he was
elected to the Senate in 1966.
Althoughthat victory marked the
first popular election of a
Republican Senator from
Tennessee, he was known
primarily in those days as
"Everett Dirksen's son-in-law."

Baker attempted to succeed
Dirksen as minority leader in
1969 and in 1971, losing
narrowly both times to Senator
Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania.
Baker won the post by one vote
in T977 by defeating Senator
Robert Griffin of Michigan after
Scott retired. He was re-elected
again in 1979 without op-
position.

It wasn't until 1 973 that Baker
became a national figure in his
own right by serving inthe select
Senate committee investigating
the Watergate scandal and its
coverup in the Nixon White
House. Millions watching the
televised hearings saw Baker
prod patiently and persistently
intothe tangled case, andfmally,
in the most remembered ques-
tion of the investigation, deman-

ding ot John Dean, Nixon's chief
accuser: "What did the
President know, and when did
he know it?"

In speeches today to
Republicans, Baker recalls the
'humiliation and e m -
barrassment" he felt for his
party during the Watergate
period. He adds that with a
conservative trend the G O P.
survived and has the opportunity
in 1 980 to win the White House
and control of the Senate

Baker has a home in
Washington and one in
Huntsville, which he visits fre-
quently to stay in contact with
the Tennessee voters. He and
his wife have a married son,
Darek, 26, working in a bank in
Murfreesboro, Tenn., and a
daughter, Cynthia, 23, who is an
assistant television producer in
Nashville.

Under a federal ethics law,
Baker recently filed a financial
statement that reported assets
of at least $625,000. His income

ASC Mutt Makes Good

by Mary Beth Hebert

Around 1974 or 1975, as
legend has it, ASC had a campus
mutt. Well, one day, Campus
Mutt begat several puppies
(father unknown) under
Rebekah Scott Hall. Connie
Jones, et al. took it upon
themselves to find homes for the
cute-little-things.

Being the generous soul she
is, Ms. Jones gave one of them to
her friend(now husband), Sonny
Rozelle. At this time the puppy
was diagnosed male anddubbed
"Scott. " After a brief experience
of puppy-sitting, Sonny decided
to give Scott to a friend of his,
Donald Stewart and his two
children for Christmas.

Before Scott's delivery to the
Stewart's, however, Sonny and

Ms. Jones reevaluated their
original diagnosis, determined
that Scott was female, and
named her "Agnes." Upon
arrival at the Stewart's in
Alabama Agnes was renamed
"Lady" by her new family (by this
time, the poor thing was
undergoing a severe identity
crisis).

In 1978, Donald Stewart was
elected U.S. Senator from
Alabama, at which time he and
his family (including Lady) went
to Washington, D.C.Todate. this
mutt whose meager beginnings
were under Rebekah has met
with such well-knowns as
Robert Byrd and Robert Strauss
and is eagerly awaiting her first
visit to the White House!

College Bowl: Alive 'N Kicking

by Anne Myre

You may not know it, but
Agnes Scott does have a College
Bowl team, and anyone
interested is invited to come to
practice in Room G-24, in But-
trick. The team practices from
5.30 until 6 30on Mondays, and
from 6:00 until 7:00on Wednes-
days. The team has no set
roster, so everyone is welcome.
Some of the members who have
competed are I la Burdette, Kathy
Helgesen, Claudia Stucke, Carol
Chapman, Lisa Mernfield, Mary
Stortz, and Marian Cottongim.

The coaches are Harry and
Penny Wistrand.

The team has already
competed in two tournaments at
Tech and the University of
Alabama at Huntsville. In three
weeks, they will compete in the
Region Six Tournament. The
winner of this competition will
go to the nationals.

Kathy Helgesen notes that
keys to a successful team are
speed and cooperation "I think, -

says Kathy, "College Bowl is
great fun. Youdon't have to have
any great intellectual ability, you
just have to be quick guesser."

"J.C. Superstar" Disappointing, Amateurish

by Mary Beth Hebert

Disappointing is a mild word
for the recent production of "-
Jesus Christ, Superstar" at the
Fox The New York tour company
was amateurish, at best.

The two most striking
drawbacks were the microphone
cords and the weak singers.
Microphone cords were strewn
all about the stage, threatening
the dancers and considerably
limiting the vocalists which
were forced to handle the
cumbersome things. The more
than adequate orchestra was
very good but obviously
overpowered the generally weak
singers

I must apologize for knowing
none of the names of the cast,
but no flyer programs were
provided and I didn't feel it was
worth $3 of my or the Profile's
money to buy a full program. A
play as intensely emotional as
this one requires powerful,
forceful interpretation - which
was severely lacking in most of
the leads.

The most disappointing
characters were Judas and
Jesus Jesus enunciated so
poorly that none of the words
were understandable. Jesus
was so weak he was rarely even

heard above the orchestra.

Mary Magdalene was an
excellent singer, though she
played her role as a bit more
seductive than I felt was ap-
propriate. Other characters
worthy of mention were
Ciaphas, Pilate, Herod and Peter
- all of whom were fine singers

This interpretation of what I

by Paxson Collins

Standing outside in my black
disco sandals where the
temperature was idling at 28
degrees F, I was unaware of the
long wait ahead and quite un-
prepared for the shock before
me. Silver invitation in hand, I
knocked knees for nearly two
hours outside of the newest
Atlanta disco, the Limelight. I
thought that the sights outside
were blinding, but to the non-
disco-goer the fatal stepthrough
the door was comparable to
awakening in Wonderland.
Superman, Dorothy from Oz,
outer space-like creatures, Pippy
Longstocking and yes, a black
panther - they all were there!

consider to be a top quality
musical (actually, it is a rock
musical) was considerably more
modern than I expected. Laser
lights throughout the play added
a sort of fourth dimension, but
often distracted from the stage
business. The entire show was
upbeated to a rather disco beat
which I found quite distasteful.

I thought that I had recovered
from the initial shock of walking
through the door, but I relapsed
when two "nice guys" kissed me
on either cheek (not those!) and
beckoned me to follow them to
the dance floor. I kept my cool
even when the modernly attired
Star Wars groupies zapped me
with their funky flashlights. But
do you know how difficult it is to
keep an expression of normalcy
upon seeing a man (?) in
women's hosiery and women's
heels when he is advertising
himself and not for L'eggs? He
did have "pretty" legs, and I kept
my composure as I tried not to
stare. But believe me, when he
turned around, I stared! The

Lastly, there were two very
unique things about this produc-
tion. One was the backdrop
which was a large sheetlike
screen through which beautiful
slides were projected. In such a
manner, scenes were set and
changed easily and few stage
props were needed. Secondly,
and most unusually, instead of

chains did not cover his rear that
was bare!

The Limelight is situated in
Buckhead where the Harlequin
Dinner Theater once was. Soft,
red couches replace the tables
and chairs where dinner was
served. One of the six different
bars, is a natural bar where fresh
fruit daquins and other natural
drinks are served. Above the'
dance floor are huge silver balls
and other sculptured ornaments
that can be raised or lowered
at least I thought I saw them
move! Fake snow falls from the
ceiling onto the dance floor, a
trick borrowed from Studio 54 in
New York. However, only half of

ending with the crucifixion as
the original does the play ended
with a narrator reading the
scripture about the resurrection
- a nice touch.

All in all, if you didn't see it
(many people didn't - the house
was only about two thirds full),
you didn't miss much.

the highlight of the disco exists
now. The clear dance floor
remains, but the live black pan-
ther which originally roamed to
the music beneath the dance
floor was removed by the
humane society Who knows
what will take its place?

A high cover charge may dis
courage many people from
attending the Limelight which
holds 2000 Atlanta may not be
able to support such a disco
Nevertheless, curious people
will visit the spot at least once

daring, take my advice and leave
the corduroy skirts and turtle
necks at Scott

Course Changes

Course and section
changes for the spring
quarter must be made on
Tuesday, February 19 and
Wednesday, February 20.
Students wishing to make 1)
changes in the courses they
have selected for the spring
quarter or 2) section changes
in year or two-quarter
courses continuing from the
winter quarter may do so on
these two days. Those
students who have no com-
pleted course cards for the
spring quarter must do so on
one of these two days.

The red-tag list will be
posted in the mailroom prior
to February 19. Red-tagged
students must have errors
corrected or obtain required
signatures on February 19
and 20.

Students are responsible
for working out and checking
their own schedules and
must resolve any conflicts on
these two days. Students

with schedule conflicts are
not included on the red-tag
list. If a spring quarter course
conflicts with a mutli-section
year or two-quarter course
for which the student is
already registered, the
student must make the
necessary section changes
on February 19 and 20.
Uncorrected errors on
course change days mean
students will be red-tagged
for scheduling and will
automatically be in the last
group to schedule on March
7.

After February 20, no
course or section changes
can be made until the
drop/add period during the
spring quarter (March 24 -
April 2). No changes will be
made on scheduling day,
March 7. Textbooks for the
spring quarter will be ordered
on the basis of course
enrollments as of February
21.

Large Crowd Discusses Dead Week Issue

by Lisa Wilson

On Wednesday, Jan. 30, there
was a convocation about Dead
Week which is no news to most
of us, especially to the 226
students and 36 faculty

Savannah's newest
experience for a limited number
of tourists is anight in a restored
historic home, where visitors are
treated like house guests.

Each home or inn can ac-
commodate from one or two to
fourteen persons. All are 18th
and 19th century structures
located within easy walking dis-
tance of house museums, pic-
turesque streets, and flower
laden squares. All are near
shops, restaurants, and
churches.

One is Mary Lee's home orf
Jonest Street, which has three
suites, and another is 17 Hun-
dred 90, which has fourteen
guest rooms plus two suites with
private courtyards. Then there's

members who attended.

There were many arguments
for and against Dead Week flying
around the room. Many students
feel they need more time to
study for finals since they

the Eliza Thompson House
owned by the James Widmans.
It has five suites. Three ad-
ditional inns recently opened are
the Liverty House with four
suites, and 41 7Charlton andthe
Stoddard Cooper House with
one each.

Still to come is the
transformation of the old Savan-
nah Coca-Cola Bottling Plant
into a 60-room inn called the
Mulberry House.

Rates for inn rooms in Savan-
nah begin at about $40 double
occupancy.

& Visitors Bureau, 301 W. Broad
St., Savannah 31 401 (phone AC

usually count 30 - 50% of final
grades. Reading Day usedto be a
study day but now spend half the
day scheduling. One point
brought up was that faculty
would have time to get tests and
papers graded before finals so
students would know what their
grades are going into finals.
Some students also feel that a
Dead Week would put more em-
phasis on finals.

All the arguments were notfor
a Dead Week, however. Some
professors feel that a Dead Week
would infringe their academic
freedom and would not allow
students to be tested on the work
donethe last week of classes un-
til they get it on a final. Many
teachers use finals to pull the
entire quarter together onto one
test. Self-scheduled exams
should give students the time
they want to study. However,
most students try and take all of
their finals during the first three
days of finals and do nottake ad-
vantage of the time they have.

There were some alternatives
to a Dead Weed but none of them
are really feasible. Some people
have suggested two (or more)
reading days a quarter but this
would mean starting school
earlier or taking days out of the
Christmas break, and getting out
of school later or taking days out
of Spring break. Most students
would not want to do this. 1 here
is also the possibility of seeing to
it that no student would have
more than two tests and/or
papers due on the same day. The
faculty voted Friday, Feb. 1, at
the faculty meeting. At the time
of publication, the faculty had
made no announcement on the
vote.

Following is a copy of the bill
that went before the faculty Feb.

1.

WHEREAS: To bolster student
morale and to demonstrate to
the students the faculty's
awareness of the student work
load, and

WHEREAS: In an effort to
alleviate academic pressure
expressed by the students, and

WHEREAS: The majority of
the students have expressed an
interest in longer examination
preparation time to improve
academic performance

BE IT RESOLVED: that the
Student Government As-
sociation proposes a dead week
which would eliminate tests,

1979 was $313,000, in addition
to his senator's salary of $57,-
500 annualiy.

Baker's support of the Panama
Canal treaties remains a sore
point among some who view it
as a disloyal act to the
Republican Party. Baker res-
ponds with, "I think it was the
right vote, not a Republican or
Democratic vote."
Baker' stand on the issues:

Energy: The U.S. needs to
produce its way out of the crisis
with deregulation and decontrol
of prices and return to a
competitive economy. More
exploration and a windfall profits
tax would prevent gouging by
the oil companies.

Salt II treat: Without
reasonable Senate amendments
and Soviet consideration of
changes, "I will vote against."
Belief is that the treaty gives
"substantial strategic
superiority to the Soviet Union."

Nuclear Energy: Nuclear

papers, and projects due during
the week (seven days) prior to
reading day (or, in the absence of
a reading day, the last day of
classes.)
Exemptions:

1 ) Oral foreign language final
exams.

2) Lab final exams.

3) Juries for applied music
students

4) Physical education final
exams.

5) Any test, paper, or project
approved by class vote.

Any exemptions other than
those listed above must be ap-
proved by the Dean of the
College.

power "parks" with reaction
clusters, away from population
centers should be developed, ac-
companied by intense security
arrangements. Opposes
government takeover of nuclear
power.

Inflation: Its roots are deeply
seeded in spending policies of
thus administration, the size of
the federal deficit base and the
failures of the Carter ad-
ministration to have a program.

Spending: "I think it is time
for a constitutional amendment
on deficit spending." Before
Congress permits a deficit
budget, it should have to be ap-
proved in advance by a two-
thirds majority in both houses.

Taxes: Favors cuts of 30
percent in personal income tax
over the next three years, along
with acts in the corporate rate
and capital-gains tax.

Dead week is not dead!!!

Reports from the
February 1 faculty meeting
are very encouraging, to
say the least. Dr. Perry
reported that, after a "very
friendly discussion" of
RC183, the faculty
recognized that they must'
make every effort to hear
and respond to student re-
quests for a Dead Week.
They felt that they must
not turn down RC183, but
neither couldthey accept it
without further inves-
tigation. The faculty
referred RC183 to the

Committee on Academic
Standards with specific
instructions for the com-
mittee to work with ap-
propriate student
government members
toward a mutually satis-
factory solution.

Thank you, students and
faculty members, for
attending the Rap Session
on Dead Week held during
convocation. We've all
learned that when
students express their
concerns through the
proper channels, faculty
members listen!

Olympic Games Boycott Kills Life Dreams of Athletes

by Elisabeth Smith

Too many people fail to realize
the political implications of
boycotting the Moscow
Olympics as a response to the
Soviet Union's invasion of
Afghanistan. This move by the
U.S. and possibly other nations
could drastically affect the
Soviet Union and is probably the
most punishing action which
can be taken short of war.

The Soviets have spent about
$375 million to get ready for the
Olympics. This money was spent
partly on the construction of
ninety-nine buildings including
dormitories, arenas and the
Olimpiisky Sports Center, which
is the largest covered stadium in
Europe. About 200,000 tour
guides, waiters, etc. have been
learning various foreign

The members of studio dance
theater, clad in black leotards
and pink tights, did various stret-
ching exercises on the Agnes
Scott gym stage awaiting the
arrival of Tom Pazick, assistant
artistic director of the Atlanta
Ballet. Mr. Pazick, a fellow
dancer in the Atlanta Ballet. Mr.
Pazick, a fellow dancer in the
Atlanta Ballet Company Class
and friend of Mrs Marilyn
Darling, agreed to instruct Mrs.
Darling's Agnes Scott troupe in a
ninety minute master class on
January 29. Acclaimed for his
work as a choreographer, Mr.
Pazick was one of seven finalists
out of 260 entries in the Boston
Choreographer's Competition
The girls stood respectively
when Mr. Pazick entered the

languages to prepare for the
expected 300,000 tourists for
the Moscow Games.
The Soviet Union is the first

Communist country which has
held the Olympics and would like
to use this opportunity to "show
off" to the rest of the world.

The U s. government has an-
nounced mid-February as the
deadline for the Soviet Union to
remove its troops from
Afghanistan if they expect the
Olympics to follow schedule.
Carter asked Deputy Secretary
of State Warren Christopher to
see how NATO members felt
about moving the Games.
However, the International
Olympic Committee is the only
body which can make that
decision and so far seems op-

room complying with the dic-
tates of dance etiquette. A small
man with a muscular build, Mr
Pazick wore black jazz pants and
a green shirt. The members of
the dance theater welcomed him
with enthusiastic applause. Soft
spoken but authoritative, slow
and meticulous best describe
Tom Pazick's manner as he
instructed the class. He used the
Lester Horton technique, one
learned earlier in his career
when studying with Horton in
California. This was Studio
Dance Theater's first exposure
to the technique. Mr. Pazick
chose to mingle among the
group placing a girl's back in the
proper position for an exercise or
adjusting the tilt of a head,
rather than to remain aloofly in
front of the group. "He seemed

posed to the idea. The I.O.C.
president, Lord Killanin, said,
"It's Moscow or nowhere." He
also said that it would be im-
possible to move the Olympics
and that the I.O.C. is obligatedto
keep their end of the contract
with the Soviet Union.

Most Western European
nations seem to be less en-
thusiastic about the issue than
the U.S. However, Prime
Minister Thatcher of Great
Britain does support moving the
Olympics. Over 100 members of
Parliament showed their ap-
proval by signing motions to
urge the I.O.C. to move the
Games.

Christopher recommended to
NATO members the possibility of
boycotting the Olympics. U.S. of-

in tune with each of us. He was
sincerely interested," summed
up apprentice Allyson Rhymes.
The exercises which were used
emphasized the position of the
dancer's head and the con-
traction, a basic move in modern
dance. "The head balanced on
the dancer's frame should move
as a single unit with the body -
always in perfect alignment," he
commented.

Let me close with a humorous
antecdote from which we all
might learn. One day last year,
my child's nursery school called
to say that she was ill and
needed to be picked up. A
somewhat frantic campus
operator who was filling in
combed the register searching
for the boarding student with a
two year old (such a scandel!).
There was no distinction
between the classes' in her
mind! I might add that I was very
grateful to the sophomore
boarding student who tracked
me down and later called to
check on the condition of my
child.

patience in reading this
laborious expression of my

ficials have even suggested
holding a "Free World
Olympics" for athletes of
nations who might boycott the
Moscow Games. This idea has
not gotten much support either.
However, the Netherlands has
stopped funding their teams and
Canda is very interested in a
boycott.

The decision to boycott must
be made by the U.S. Olympic
Committee. The president of this
committee, Robert Kane, is op-
posed to this idea and said, "I do
not favor the concept of a boycott
at all. The Games do not belong
to the Soviet Union. They belong
to the International Olympic
Committee, to boycott the
Games would be to show
disloyalty to the organization to
which we belong and to the
Olympics."

Many U.S. athletes also op-
pose a boycott. Al Feuerbach, a
shot putter, said, "lam 100% op-
posed to any pullout, for any
reason. We make the sacrifice,
we pay our own way, we're no:
connected to the Government.
We have no real obligation to
them. It's not their life dream
that's being tampered with "
Bob Mathias, a former Olympic
star, said, "Our people want to
go to Moscowto beat the hell out
of those guys and tell them face
to face what's wrong with
them."

Many athletes are willing to

support a boycott if they are
asked to do so by the President.
Craig Masbach, a miler, said,
"As an athlete, I am very frus-
trated and disappointed. But I am
also well aware of what an im-
portant political tool the Olympic
Games represent, not only to the
Soviet Union but to the entire
Eastern bloc. Our boycotting the
Games would be both valid and
effective."

Another consideration is that
many Americans stand to lose
money if a boycott is enforced
NBC has invested millions for
the television rights and would
broadcast about 150 hours of
the Games. If the U.S. does not
attend, however, they will not
televise any of the Games. They
could collect much of the loss
from their insurance but would
still lose advertising revenue.
Also, about 11,000 Americans
have made deposits for trips to
Moscow and much of the money
has already been sent to the
Soviet Union and could probably
not be recovered

The possibility of boycott has
raised interest in another
suggestion: locating the Games
permanently in a small country
to prevent them from being used
in international politics
President Carter suggests
Greece as the site, where the
Olympics were first held in 776
B.C.

Pozik Shows Interest in Dancers

Alumna Weston Says "Be Patient"

by Laurie McBrayer

The Career Planning Office
recently presented a program
titled "Jobs in Publishing and
T.V." The guest speakers were
Alumna Marybeth Little Weston
'48, Garden Editor of House and
Garden and her son Eric David-
son Weston of WETV - Atlanta.

The program was an informal
gathering held in McKinney
Parlor. Fourteen students
attended and expressed career
interests in: behind the scenes
work, illustration, TV production,
book publishing, and radio and
television broadcasting.

Mrs. Weston began her writ-
ing career at an early age. At

seventeen her first book of
poetry, Silk from a Spool, was
published. Her second book
Underside of Leaves was
published during her senior year
at Ag n es Scott .Duringherjunior
year she worked on the College
Board of Mademoiselle and that
summer she was a guest editor
for the magazine. Reflecting on
her years at Agnes Scott, she
said, "I had the most wonderful
teachers. I loved everything I
took and regretted what I didn't
take. After four years at Agnes
Scott one can do anything, for
the college tries to bring out
what is excellent in you." Since
graduation she has worked for
the New York Times Sunday

Magazine and has done
freelance work. Currently she is
an editor of House and Garden
and she has written two books:
Decorating with Plants and
House and Garden's Little
Gardens.

Eric Weston started working
for WETV after graduating from
Emory with a major in English.
He was an intern with the
station duri ng his final quarter at
Emory.

Both Mrs. Weston and Eric
emphasized the importance of
obtaining work experience: Eric
said, "Work experience puts you
one notch ahead of everyone
else."

"I don't take anyone seriously

who says she wants to be a
writer but has not had any
experience," said Mrs. Weston.
She urges students to work on
college publications, to
participate in internships, and to
develop a specialty while in
school. Students interested in
magazine work or illustration
should join any art clubs or
literary guilds. Eric said that
public television studios are
more likely to accept
inexperienced applicants.

They have job-hunting advice
that seems applicable to any
field: write a letter to a company
telling them you will be calling in
one week about a job, be in-

formed about the company
before the interview, take a
portfolio and follow up the
interview with a thank-you note.
They also said that college
seniors should send resumes in
January or February because in
June and September there will
be an influx of job-seekers, who
are recent graduates.

Although book publishing,
television, and related fields are
competitive, Mrs. Weston and
Eric urge students to persevere.

She said, "Be driven, but not
impatient," and Eric advised,
"Don't take the first job you are
offered if it's not what you really
want."

Thirty Five Honor Scholars Spend Weekend Here

by Julie Babb

Thirty five High School
Seniors and finalists for Agnes
Scott's first Honor Scholarships
visited the campus February 1 4-
16. The girls came from 11
states, mostly in the Southeast,
to attend classes, become
aquainted with campus life, and
to have final interviews. The
ASC expense paid week-end in-

cluded a dinner at the Atlanta
Historical Society and either a
play at the Alliance Theater, or
the Symphony.

For the past five years, ASC

has considered offering "no
need" scholarships, as 85% of
southeastern colleges do. These
scholarships do not take away
from financial aid applicants,
and even those who receive the

tenthousand dollar scholarships
(twenty five hundred dollars a
year) are eligible for financial
aid. The scholarships will be
offered to up to ten scholars
based on merit (girls must have
scored at least 600 on both parts
of the S.A.T. and have a sueprior
high school record) and strong
evidence of leadership qualities.
In an effort to get to know the
finalists better, a 13 member

board made up of three Alum-
nae, four Administrators and six
Faculty members held 15
minute discussions with each
applicant. Both sides agreed that
the interviews were successful.
One finalist came out smiling
and said, "I even enjoyed it!"
During the interviews, current
world and national problems
were discussed as well as
personal concerns and goals.

Also, the girls were given a
chance to ask questions.

Judith Tindel, Director of Ad-
missions, commented that the
finalists were the type of girls
that Agnes Scott would like to
have, whether or not they
receive the scholarship. The
scholarships will be offered to
the girls by March 1 and will not
be announced publicly until after
the acceptances are made.

Financial Aid Makes Changes

Edgar F. Shannon, Jr. spoke last Wednesday at the
Founder's Day Convocation. Mr. Shannon reminded the
audience of Agnes Scott's devotion to intellect and of the need
for a revitalizatfon of this country's hopes and dreams. Citing
many events of our troubled times, Mr. Shannon urged the
younger generations to rise and meet the task ahead and to use
the liberal arts education in meeting the goals of the future. Mr.
Shannon spoke to a large audience which included many alum-
nae and friends of the college.

During recent weeks the
Agnes Scott Financial Aid Com-
mittee has made a number of
decisions that will affect
students applying for aid for
1980-81. The College will,
however, continue in its com-
mitment to attempt to meet the
full demonstrated need of each
regular student. Financial need
is defined as the difference
between what Agnes Scott costs
(the student's budget) and what
the family can afford to con-
tribute (the family's resources).
The family resources available
for each student are determined
by the Financial Aid Committee
after evaluation of the Financial
Aid Form (FAF) and FAF Sup-
plement submitted by the
student and her parents.

One area of change will be in
the budget which the Financial
Aid Office projects for each
student. First, tuition and fees
will be increased to $3,975 to
coincide with actual charges at
the College. Second, the books
and supplies budget will be in-
creased from $225 to $275 to
reflect increases in the prices of
these items. Also,, the personal

expense budget will be in-
creased from $425 to $450.
Last, commuting students and
boarding students who live
within 400 miles of Atlanta (but
not including boarding students
from the metropolitan Atlanta
area) will have their travel
allowance increased from 12C
per mile to 1 5C per mile. Board-
ing students who live further
than 400 miles will get actual
night coach fare for three round
trips home up to a maximum of
$650 per year.

Another area of change will be
in the method of determining the
amount that a family is able to
contribute towards post-secon-
dary education. Financial Aid
Committee will now take a larger
portion of the private schooling
expense for siblings into ac-
count. Also, a factor for inflation
has been added in the analysis
so that the expected family con-
tribution will more realistically
reflect the family's financial
situation.

The last area of change will be
in the "packaging" of financial
aid awards. Since junior loans
were the only ones which were

not increased for 1979-80, it
was agreed that they would be
increased from $600 to $800 for
1980-81. In other words, for
1980-81, freshmen and
sophomores will typically have
$600 loans, and juniors and
seniors will have $800 loans as
part of their financial aid pac-
kages.

Despite this increase in loan
obligation, | Agnes Scott's self-
help (loan and employment)
portions of its financial aid pac-
kage remain low in comparison
with many other colleges. The
number of hours of employment
on campus will continue at five
per week for freshmen and
sophomores and eight per week
for juniors and seniors, the basic
wage rate of $2.70 per hour (for
1979-80 Class I first year em-
ployees) will be increased to
$2.90 for 1980-81. This same
increase will be reflected in the
wage scale for all classifications
of student employees.

Students are encouraged to
direct any questions they have
about Agnes Scott's financial aid
program to the Financial Aid Of-
fice.

passing the amendment that
allows the outgoing editor to
nominate her successor. From
this day forward, you should see
continued advancement in the
paper, as the most qualified
nominee should become editor.
(At least you shouldn't see any
backsliding!) My thanks to Rep,
especially Kemper Hatfield for
helping me find a suitable
solution and for giving me the
courage to go through with it.

To my professors, my deep ap-
preciation for allowing me to
graduate (I think!). I don't want to
"bristle any neck hairs" but the
truth is, you have had to put up
with a very tired and very busy
student who often found her

priorities nestled in a tiny room
off of Rebekah Collonade. If you
thought I was slack at times, you
were right. But I learned a lot
anyway and that's why I came
here.

To the Faculty and Ad-
ministration, thank you for con-
tributi ng so much news to us. To
Sara Fountain, and Andrea
Helms, thank you for all of the
ready - made news.

To Bertie Bond, a special
thanks for always reminding me
of my family because she always
remembered to ask about them.
And to Libby Wood and Jan
Johnson for always listening to
everything (and that's a lot) that I
had to say.

Most of all, my special, special
thanks to the k ; ds on third Main.
Ya'll have been everything to me
in the hardest job I'm sure I will
ever have. You are all wonderful;
I know I wasn't always.

And to Paxson Collins . . . just
thanks. For everything.

Almost a year ago, I wrote an
editorial about why this campus
needed a newspaper. And for all
I said then, I thought of a few
more reasons. It helps at least
one student on this entire cam-
pus to learn how to answer to
people, to make decisions, to
lead, to organize, to manage and
to create. That is what it did for
me. I hope it did something for
you.

Board of Student Activities
recently sponsored several
"interest groups." These were
groups of students who signed
up to meet with a professor and
learn something not offered in
our necessarily limited
curriculum.

The idea was wonderful (or so
I thought). I conservatively
signed up for only four groups as
I was afraid I wouldn't have time
for more. The lists were nearly
all filled to or beyond capacity.

I cannot speak for all groups,

but the ones in which I
participated had shamefully low
turn-outs. I was the only one
who came of eight who signed
up in one group. Less than half of
two other groups showed up.

If they weren't interested, why
did they sign up? Perhaps the
time was inconvenient.
But consider the professors.
They were approached by BSA
and asked to volunteer their
time, energy and knowledge. It
seems that after all they did, the
least the students could do is
show up. Common courtesy
should elicit at least a note to the

prof explaining that you can't
make it.

I guess everyone thought
"they'll never miss me I'm just
one of many." Well, that dif-
fusion of responsibility resulted
in a pathetic response to what
could have been a great
experience.

I would like to think that BSA
will sponsor more interest
groups. I would also like to think
other groups got a better res-
ponse than the ones I was in. At
any rate, for the people who
signed up and didn't show up it
was your loss I

DEDICA TED TO MYSELF, AND TO PAT ARNZEN.

God grant next year's editor the patience to put up with late
stories,

no stories, poor stories, no reporters at all.
Grant her the serenity to deal with phone calls at all hours,

interrupted breakfasts, lunches and dinners, naps,

conversations,

and even showers.
Grant her the luck to have a thousand darkroom specialists,

twice as

many reporters, megabucks in advertisements, and a win-
dow that closes
in the winter.

Grant her a student body who reads the paper before they line
the

trashcans and wrap birthday presents; who reads articles
with understanding and has interest enough to respond
with letters

to the editor; who understands that editors are indeed
superhuman

and can change deadlines at will.
And Dear Lord grant her the windom to smile in adversity, do
the best she can, and wait to cuss them all . . . behind closed
doors.

Letters To The Editor

Dear Editor,

As the end of the quarter is
drawing near and students are
working frantically on the big
final papers due on Reading Day,
the realization that it is almost
exam time seems to hit the en-
tire student body. Much of the
pressure of exams is alleviated
because we are fortunate to
have self-scheduled exams, but
accompanying this privilege
there are some very vital and im-
portant responsibilities which
need to be considered.

As Chairman of Honor Court, I
would like to give a few
reminders to the Student Body.
During Fall Quarter exams some
exam procedures were either
haphazardly forgotten or not
clearly followed by some
students. It is important to
remember that NO TALKING is
allowed about an exam, even if it
is a scheduled exam and
everyone in the class has taken
the exam. It is also very im-
portant for every student to put
down their books and notes
BEFOR E they pick up their exam

envelope. NO ONE should have
their notes and their exam
envelope in their hands at the
same time. When you are writ-
ing your exam, DO NOT tear out
any pages in your blue book. If
you make a mistake, just mark
out the page and proceed to the
next page. Finally, when you
finish your exam remember to
include the exam, any scrap
paper and your blue book inside
the sealed envelope.

A change in procedure which
should be noted by every student
is that EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN
OUT this quarter in G-26 BUT-
TRICK.

I have been impressed with
the majority of the students'
awareness to follow the correct
exam procedures, but I hope
some of the few problems which
have arisen in the past can be
elimianted. Self - schedule
exams can be possible only
when there is a great sense of
responsibility among students
for our Honor System. Good luck
with exams and if you have any

questions, please don't hesitate

to contact me.

Sincerely,

Jenny Spencer

Chairman of Honor Court

Dear Editor,

A few weeks ago Working for
Awareness distributed a Ques
tionaire among the student body
asking for student opinion about
a self defense course for the
college. Many expressed a
strong desire for such a course
and felt a personal need to learn
how to protect themselves. The
majority were in favor of in-
corporating such a course into
the curriculum as a separate PE
course, as a part of a current
course such as Fundamentals,
or as part of Freshman Orien-
tation. One negative response
was based on the opinion that
college was not the place for a
self defense program.

After participating in the self
defense weekend workshop I am
more sensitive to the need for
such a program. For those of you
who did not respond we en-
courage you to do so. (Box 24).

IMPORTANTI READ
THIS: Check your mailbox
today; you will receive a slip
of paper telling you the of-
fices for which you have
been nominated and for
which you petitioned. You
MUST turn these slips back
in to Debbie Arnold (Box 1 29)
by 5:00 PM this Wednesday,
listing in order of preference
no more than three offices for
which you want to run. Be
sure to list the offices in order
of preference, for if you are
elected to more than one of-
fice you will be given the of-
fice which is highest on your
preference list. Your name
will not appear on the ballot if
you do not turn these slips in.
Please, for your sake, turn
them in on time!

Since elections will be the
first week of spring quarter
and the new officers will take
over immediately, this will be
the last "Kemper's Korner." I
would like to take this op-
portunity to thank the many
people who have supported

and helped me this year,
especially Sharon Maitland,
CATALYST members, and
Rep Council members.
Sharon has worked closely
with Rep Council this year
and has given us supprot and
publicity in the Profile.
CATALYST has started from
scratch in organizing a com-
mittee which does much of
the leg work for Rep Council.
And last but not least, the Rep
Council members this year
have been very dedicated,
hard workers. They are the
ones who have done all the
difficult Student Government
work this year, and not I. Un-
fortunately, I have received
much of the credit that
belongs to them. I have en-
joyed working as SGA
President this year, and I
think I, like all the other Rep
Council members, have
learned very much. My very
best wishes are extended to
next year's Rep Council. To
this year's council, I can only
say one thing: 'Thanksl I love
you alllll"

coming to the United States. He
has written many books and
edited numerous publications
on such figures as Verlaine,
Valery, Mallarme, Apollinaire,
Char, and Sartre.

In his lecture, Dr. Lawler
asserted that poetry is becoming
the most prominent form of
literature published today in
France, as evidenced in 1 979 by
the poetry symposiums carried
in several major journals. Ac-
cording to Lawler, these modern
poets look to the nineteenth-
century giants Mallarme, for
inspiration to pursue the art of
"writing" as opposed to
"creation," and Rimbaud, for his
prophetic vision and spiritual
sense.

The body of his talk centered
around readings of and
commentaries on selected
poems of three highly influential
artists Saint- John Perse, Rene
Char, and Yves Bonnefoy.

Perse's work, having evolved
from prose poems to biblical
versets, is characteristically
epical and focuses on man's as-
piration to the quasi-divine. An
excerpt read by Lawler from
Oeuvres completes (1972), "Et
vous, Mers," displays an
underlying exuberance from
Rimbaud tempered somewhat
by Mallarme's formal control.
Char's lyrical poetry, on the
other hand, is noticeably more
economical than Perse's verse.
Described as a "communicant of
nature," Char holds, according
to Lawler, a special affinity with
Rimbaud. Hence, the selections
contained in his Commune
Presence (1978) are full of
symbolism and intensive diction.
The third poet, Bonnefoy, is a
"contemplative" artist who is
guided by Mallcrme in his
search for wisdom. In addition to
several collections of poetry,
Bonnefoy has published a

variety of other works, among
them translations of
Shakespeare and aesthetic
meditations. Three excerpts
from his latest edition, Poemes
(1979), use surrealistic imagery
to convey the message that
"reality exists but cannot be
grasped."

To conclude his lecture,
Lawler proposed that the genius
of French poetry resides in its
search for an essence, for a
universal depth, as opposed to
study of the ego. To assist them
in this search, many modern
authors participate in a kind of
"convivial eclecticism," extrac-
ting elements from their
paragons Mallarme and Rim-
baud and developing their own
synthesis. In all, Dr. Lawler 's
lecture was organized clearly
and delivered with a richly varied
language that attests to his
literary scholarship.

Beach Music Alive and Well in the South

by Laurie McBrayer

Jan and Dean, second only to
the Beach Boys, arrived from the
West Coast for a one night stand
at the Agora Ballroom on Feb. 6.
Although they played primarily
to an older crowd, the college

community was also
represented. The presence of
music fans from varied age
groups indicated that the
popularity of beach music is still
high in the south.

Papa Doo Run Run, the
"sound behind Jan and Dean."
was the warm up band. The
crowd was very receptive to the ir
opening number, the Beach
Boys' "Surfin' USA." Other
songs they performed were "I

Don't Believe It," "I Want to Go
Home," and "Rockin' in the
Summer." All of the band's
attempts to loosen up the crowd
were successful. The members
initiated a rural yell contest and

then played a country-rock song
"Play Another Song on the

Radio." After this one hour
performance the band took a
brief break and the audience
grew restless; all were ready to
hear the lead singers.

Finally, Jan and Dean arrived
on stage and performed "Doo
Run Run." Then, they sang an

abridged version of "Deadman's
Curve." One could not helpthin-
king how painful it must be for
Jan each time he performs this

song. Those who saw the
television movie "Deadman's
Curve" will remember that Jan

and Dean wrote this song before
Jan had a serious car accident
after which he had to learn how
to eat and talk again. He

delighted the crowd by singing
"Surf City" and "Good
Vibrations." Other songs Jan

and Dean sang included "Little
Deuce Coupe," 'The Little Old
Lady from Pasadena," "Help me
Rhonda," and "Do You Want to

Dance?" They surprised, but
pleased, the audience with a
rock and roll section: Led

7eDlin's "Stairway to Heaven,"
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home
Alabama" and Deep Purple's
"Smoke on the Water."

The concert ended; yet the
crowd was not satisfied. The ap-
plause continued until Jan and
Dean returned. They sang

"California Girls" and a couple
of other hits, then ran off stage.
The crowd shouted "one more

time" until Jan and Dean
returned. This time they sang
"Barbara Ann" and the Knack's
"My Sharona." Jan and Dean
kept the crowd clapping, singing ,

Hal Ashby's new film Being
There, showing at Loew's
Twelve Oaks, is better than the
other movies I have seen lately.
This is a likeable movie. The
performances in the film are
excellent, as are the direction
and photography. Best of all is
the very clever plot, which is so
improbable that it seems pos-
sible.

Chance, an orphan, is raised
by his grandfather who keeps
him shut up inside his mansion
in Washington, D.C. Chance has
never been outside the house
except to tend the garden, the

(a review by A.I.M.)

Mother's Finest Live has

been around to be experienced,
in one form or another, for four
years now. Previously, it could
be heard at apartment house
parties and small clubs around
Atlanta. Last spring Live was
released in England to support a
popular European tour; this fall a
domestic version was available
for Mother's Finest American
fans. Live, their fourth album, is
their best so far and deserves
some national recognition.

Mother's Finest play high-
energy funk rock without the
over-emphasized, throbbing
rhythms of most funk groups or
the screami ng distortion of blitz -
rockers. "Somebody To Love,"
"Magic Carpet Ride," and
"Mickey's Monkey," the three
non-original songs have all be
revved up and intensified for
Live, surpassing their original
versions for excitement and
energy. Joyce "Baby Jean"
Kennedy packs more emotional
wallop in three seconds of

and shagging during the
performance.. Who can deny that
beach music is fun? The acous-
tics at the Agora are great and
the concert was very enjoyable.

only thing he knows. Simple-
minded Chance can neither read
nor write. One day the old man
dies and Chance is turned out
onto the streets of Washington
to make his own way. Through
an amusing series of
circumstances Chance is
befriended by the richest man in
the country, becomes a sought-
after celebrity, is considered an
economic messiah and even-
tually is destined to become a
presidential candidate. All this is
rather lost on Chance, who only
wants to watch television.
Chance is so simple that he
doesn't even watch himself
when he is on television. He'd

exhorti ng "Don't you want, don't
you need somebody to love I"
than Grace Slick ever did, while
"Michey's Monkey" percolates
with pent-up dancibility. Where
Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet
Ride" travels, the Mother's
Finest cover flies. These home-
grown musicians exhibit more
than psychedelic drone; their
shart instrumental expertise
really "lets the sound take you
away."

Mother's Finest Live is not a

rehash of studio work; it conveys
genuine excitement and a feel-
ing that the band really enjoys
performing, the members incite
the audience until they are en-
thusiastically participating, res-
ponding to the lines of their best-
loved songs. Baby Jean tan-
talizes the crowd to a frenzy on
her trademark songs "Baby
Love" and "Give You All The
Love." The latter song gets a
well drawn out, intense, bait-
and-twitch treatment, building
up and easing off, until Joyce
screams, "Baby! Don't 'cha want
to sque-ee-eze me tight?" and

The only disappointment of the
evening was having to face the
brisk weather rather than sun-
shine, after listening to six guys
dressed in white pants and

rather change the channels with
the remote control.

Peter Sellers renders ex-
quisitely the character of min-
dless Chance. Not once in the
film does Sellers ever overdo the
simplicity of his role. Finally
Sellers has come upon a role
that enables him to display his
marvelous talent and sensitivity
and to become more than a
comic actor. Peter Sellers is a
brilliant actor. The part of
Chance is a difficult one to
portray successfully, yet Peter
Sellers does so with a look and a
manner that never once falters.
There is never any doubt that
Sellers is a nything but Chance in

the audience drowns her out
with cheers.

The other lead vocalist, Glenn
Murdock, blazes through "Fire"
singing, "Run to New York City
(you can't hide) / RuntoAtlanta,
G A (you can't hide) / Can't get
away from that burning,
burning," weaving the crowd
response through every verse.
He propels "Watch My Stylin' "
and "Don't Wanna Come Back"
with more hustling excitement
than any mechanized disco
singer or soul shouter.

The band members arc
thoroughly professional, tight
and never sloppy. Mike is a
keyboard wizzard, wizzard is an
astounding, fast-fingered bas-
sist, B.B. Queen lays down the
most solid pounding rock throug
playfully funk drumming, and
Moses Mo matches any other
guitarist for dangerously taun-
ting work. Mercifully, this is one
live album without extended, in-
dulgent insturmental solos.

Maybe I'm prejudiced, but I
vote "Best Album of 1 979" and
five stars for Mother's Finest
Live.

this movie.

Shirley MacLaine is very good
in her less demanding role of Eve
Rand, the wife of the millionaire
who befriends Chance. The
wistful look i n her eye makes her
quite an endearing character.
Unfortunately, my only objection
to the film invovles a scene
between Eve and Chance after
she has failed to seduce him.
Chance somehow makes people
make fools of themselves, and
Eve certainly does that in this

particualr scene. The problem is
that Shirley MacLaine makes a
fool of herself as well in this
scene. The point could have
been made just as well by
another means. Lord Olivier felt
so strongly about this scene that
he refused to appear in the
movie. That is understandable,
for it seems like a cheap thrill
that is inconsistent with the
excellence of the rest of the
movie.

Mel vi n Douglas' portrayal of
Benjamin Rand, the king-maker,
is extremely good, Melvin
Douglas is seldom any other
way. The death scene is so well
done that once it is over one ac-
tually feels his absence.

Hal Ashby's direction steadily
conveys the feeling of unreality
that goes with the story line.
Ashby captures the necessary
feeling of detatchment needed
to carry the film off. The movie is
based on the novel Being There
by Jerzy Kosinski, who also
wrote the screenplay. Caleb

Deschanel's cinematography is
as effective as Ashby 's direction.
Much of the film is shot on
location at the Biltmore House in
Asheville, N.C.

Being There carries a GP rat-
ing and is showing at Loew's
Twelve Oaks and Roswell
Cinema. It is worth seeing, not

only because it is amusing in a
sad and startling way, but
because it will make you think
before you accept everything
that is said, especially on
television.

Jimmy Carter

Presidential Hopefu

Hopeful... Again

by Marcia Whetsel

Edward M. Kennedy, the last
of the Kennedy brothers - the
youngest, the most vulnerable,
and the most thoroughly
political, is finally running for
President. For more than a
decade, he has almost run for
the presidency. Three times he
has been a possible candidate,
but all three times he pulled
back. Now, disdainful of Carter's
leadership, he has decided that
the time is right.

In Brookline, Mass., Edward
Kennedy was born on Feb. 2,
1932, the youngest of the nine
children of Joseph P. Kennedy,
former U. S. ambassador to
Great Britain, and Rose
Fitzgerald Kennedy. Like the
other children, he experienced
the rigorous competitive stan-
dards demanded by his father in
work and sport.

After entering Harvard
College, Edward was suspended
when a friend took an
examination for him. He joined
the Army, served in France and
Germany, and was discharged in
1953 as a private first class.
Readmitted to Harvard, he
played end on the football team
and graduated with honors in
1956. He graduated from the
University of Virginia law school
in 1959.

Edward managed John
Kennedy's 1958 campaign for
reelection to the U. S. Senate. In
1960 he skillfully managed his
borther's presidential campaign
in the West.

In 1962, Edward was elected
to John's old Senate seat. He
easily won the nomination and
the election. He was reelected in
1964 to a full term, though
unable to campaign because of a
broken back suffered in a plane
crash. Senator Kennedy took a
liberal position on domestic is-
sues, supporting welfare
programs and civil rights.

With the election of
Republican Richard M. Nixon as
president in 1968, many
Democrats focused their 1972
presidental plans on Edward
Kennedy. Senate Democrats
elected him majority whip in
1969 and Kennedy took the
initiative in opposing ad-
ministration programs, most
notably the Safeguard an-
tiballistic missile system.

At one point in his career in
the Senate, he served on about
three dozen committees and
subcommittees, more than any
other Senate member. Senators
from both parties have come to
respect him as an able legislator,
on the Senate floor and its hear-
ing rooms.

However, in July of 1969,
Kennedy was involved in an ac-

cident that removed him, at least
temporarily, from presidental
politics. Late at night, after a
party, he drove his car off an un-
marked bridge on Chap-
paquiddick Island, Mass., and
his companion, Mary Jo
i Kopechne, drowned. Though not
held responsible for her death,
he pleaded guilty to leaving the
scene of the accident. He
acknowledges that he was
"irresponsible" in not phoning
police promptly, but insists that
he had struck his head when the
car plunged off the bridge and
was suffering from shock and
confusion.

Edward has been married to
Joan Bennett Kennedy,
daughter of an advertising
executive from j Bronxville, N.Y.,
since 1 958, but the couple has
been separated for the last two
years. Joan lives in an
apartment in Boston, and is
studying for her master's degree
in education at Lesley College.
She has had a battle with
alcoholism, but now regularly
attends meetings of Alcoholics
Anonymous. Kennedy main-
tains a 16-room home in
McLean, Va., and a home on
Squaw Island, Mass., about a
mile from the Kennedy family
compound at Hyannis Port,
where he spends the weekends.
The couple has three children: a
son, Patrick, 12; a daughter,
Kara, 19, a sophomore at Trinity
College in Hartford, Conn.: and
son Edward Jr., 18, a freshman
at Wesleyan University in Mid-
dletown, Conn.

Kennedy reports an annual in-
come of roughly $700,000, the
main source of which is a blind
trust.

Kennedy's stand on the is-
sues:

Defense spending: Supports
increased Pentagon spending.
Last year he voted to increase
the defense budget to $141.2
billion, $18.5 billion more than
Carter's original proposal.

National health insurance:
Proposes that employers be re-
quired to broaden the coverage
they already provide for workers
and their families and that the
Government pick up the medical
bill of everyone else. Estimates
cost to the Government in the
first yeat at $28.6 billion more
than it now pays for heath care.

Economy: Says that the
"economy has been managed
erratically" and that he would
have established wage and price
guidelines earlier than Carter
and backed them with strong
pressure from the White House.

Energy: Favors encouraging
conservation and propsoes to
make available $34 billion in
grants a nd loa ns to homeowners
and industry for energy-saving
projects.

by Elizabeth Smith

Clearly President Carter has
reached a new level in his
career. He is receiving support
from all sides as the American
people rally behind him. He is

about two to one and is preferred
above GOP hopefuls Bush,
Reagan, and Baker by at least
two to one. The major question is

An Agnes Scott Survivor
( In-Flight)

by Laurie McBrayer

When going home at the end
of each quarter, many students
may board a plane with great an-
ticipation. Agnes Scott graduate
Sarah Uzzell-Rindlaub '66
recalls a time when she was fly-
ing home from colelge and the
flight attendant announced
potential danger. She
remembers being very im-
pressed with their professional
and reassuring manner. Now,
almost 1 5 years later, she is an
Emergency Procedures Instruc-
tor for United Airlines.

Ms. Uzzell-Rindlaub testified
before Congress on the issue of
aviation safety in July of 1977.
She said, "I have had the op-
portunity, so tospeak, of being in
two DC- 10 crashes." (The odds
for one person to experience two
crashes are 1.5 billion to one.)
She is certainly an expert in her

field. There were no major in-
juries or fatalities as a result of
either crashes.

Both accidents, only six weeks
apart, occurred in 1975. At that
time she was a flight attendant
for Overseas National Airways, a
chartered airline. Prior to this
job, she had flown to and from
Vietnam during the war without
danger. The first crash occurred
on takeoff from New York and
the flight was en route to Saudi
Arabia. The passengers were
airline personnel who were go-
ing to help transport Muslims to
Mecca. The second crash oc-
curred at landing in Instanbul;
the flight was returning from the
pilgrimage of the Turks.

After the two plane crashes
she said she was aware of the
importance of aviation safety
and she gai ned a "desire to pass
on my observations to others."

Scott "Personalities"

by Kim Clark

As part of the continuing effort
to keep the Agnes Scott com-
munity informed about new
campus "personalities," the
Profile will feature an article
each week about new students.
This week we would like to
present Connie Tuttle and Linda
Giellatte.

Connie is presently living in
Candler Park in an historic
house that she and her nine year
old daughter, tanya, are res-
toring with the help of a friend. In
between graduation from high
school and returning to college,
Connie has held many fas-
cinating jobs. Her various oc-
cupations have included work in
the theater, cooking on a dude
ranch, and most recently she
was a self-employed carpenter.
Connie hopes to graduate with a
degree in Bible and religion and
then continue on to the
seminary.

Linda is not a "new " face to
Agnes Scott, since she was a
student here in the 1971-72
term. During this time she
represented the freshman class
on the Student Government
Council, participated in in-
tramural sports (particularly
basketball during winter
quarter), and was elected
treasurer of the rising
sophomore class, although she
decided against returning in the
fall. She just returned this
quarter to Agnes Scott, being
classified as a junior at the end
of the winter quarter. Presently,
she is employed by Southern
Bell and occupies a very interes-
ting and progressive job in their
Corporate Data Center. She is
thinking of majoring in
economics and history. She
specifically asked me to include
this comment: "I have found all
the students just as friendly and
helpful as they were during the
time I first attended Scott."

porting Carter as never before.

The chief reasons are
concerned with international
politics: the crises in Iran and
Afghanistan. Carter has taken
more control of foreign policy
and refuses to delegate
authority to an able deputy. He
has grasped the reins in facing
these problems and in doing so
has attained new leadership and
decisiveness.

Perhaps the most obvious
evidence for this new image
came in his recent State of the
Union Address when he boldly
faced America's new
challenges. He said, "Let our
position be absolutely clear: an
attempt by any outside force to
gain control of the Persian Gulf
region will be regarded as an as-
sault on the vital interests of the
United States of America. And
such an assault will be repelled
by any means necessary, in-
cluding military force." Among
his other high points were his
opposition to sending a U.S.
Olympic team to Moscow, his
desire to enact the CIA charter
which would tighten the Agen-
cy's control over sensitive in-
formation and broaden its range
of activities, and his desire to see
the energy legislation promptly
passed.

The foreign policy which
Carter represents now is very
different from that which hetook
office. He initially pledged to cut
Pentagon spending but has
decided to increase the military
budget. He wanted to curb the
sale of American weapons
overseas but he uses arms deals
for diplomatic purposes. He has
withdrawn his promise to
remove the 41,000 troops in
South Korea. Even his crusade
for human rights is slowly
fading.

As far as domestic policy goes,
Carter's ideas are fairly clear-
cut. One of his major concerns is
energy; he will consider gas
rationing if necessary, but for
now he wishes to increase the
output of synthetic fuels, en-
courage conservation, ask for
legislation forcing utilities to use
more coal and enforce a limit on
oil imports of 8.2 million barrels
per day. He is concerned with
some old issues: welfare reform,
health insurance, hospital-cost
control, urban assistance and
Alaskan land protection. He is
working on cutting youth unem-
ployment and calls for con-
solidating and strengthening
existing job programs and
providing support for school and
work programs in low-income
areas.

In economic policy, Carter is
opposed to cutting taxes unless

"Uncommon Women " An Outspoken Drama

The Agnes Scott College
Theatre Department presents
the provocative, contemporary
drama "Uncommon Women and
Others" Wednesday and Friday,
Feb. 27 and 29, only. Curtain is
8:1 5 p.m. in the Winter Theatre
of the Dana Fine Arts Building at
Agnes Scott. Admission is free.

This frank, outspoken play
was written by Wendy
Wasserstein, a graduate of the
Yale University drama school,
and was produced at the

Phoenix Playhouse in New York
and for the Public Broadcasting
System.

"Uncommon Women and
Others" deals with the
memories, hopes and fears of
five graduates of a women's
liberal arts college. Each is
struggling to establish her own
identity as a woman and as an
individual in the "real" world
beyond college.

Kate, the lawyer, worries that
her life has been too deliberately

programmed and that she is mis-
sing opportunities for intimate
relationships. Rita, the aspiring
novelist, can't ever begin
writing.

Muffet waited throughout
college for her prince charming
who never came and now sup-
ports herself as a convention
hostess. Samantha chose
marriage as a way out of her
confusion about her future, and
Holly, the perennial student,
learns more and more from

"UNCOMMON WOMEN AND OTHERS" The cast includes (front, 1 . to r.) Marion Mayer of
Birmingham, Ala. and Melanie Merrifield of Hattiesburg, Miss.; (back, I. tor.) Maggie Evans of
Macon; Dottie Enslow of Stone Mountain and Stephanie Segars of Tampa, Fla.

"High School" High Adrenalin Flick

by Lane Edmondson

Brilliant acting, serious
drama, and incredible technical
feats; are these the things that

you look f or i n a movie? If so, you
will be disappointed with "Rock

'n' Roll High School." However,
if you enjoy flights of wild aban-
don, exciting music, with a good
bit of raucous fun thrown in,

then grab your cheap
sunglasses and bop on down to

see this flick. "High School" is
purely mindless fun; none of the
writers, producers, or anyone
else is trying to get a serious

message across. Instead, the
film focuses on the power
struggles between high school
kids and their tyrannical ad-
ministrators. There is also some

romance, with the dashing
Vincent Van Patten as a sex-
starved, but boring football
player. Nevertheless, the

movie's plot is not what gives the
film its cult-standing - it is the
music. The Ramones provide
most of the music especially in
their powerful, LOUD concert
scene. Even more music is
provided by such luminaries as
DEVO, Chuck Berry, Todd
Rundgren, Nick Lowe and Alice
Cooper.

So - if you want a movie you
can dance to, go see "Rock 'n'
Roll High School" - and pogo 'til
you dropl

books while avoiding learning
about herself.

Directing the Agnes Scott
production is Sarah Hunter, a
return to college student at
Agnes Scott. Mrs. Hunter,
married and the mother of three
children, is working on a degree
in theatre. She was the 1979
winner of a scholarship from the
National Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences. She recently
completed an internship with
Jayan Films of Atlanta.

Mrs. Hunter selected "Un-
common Women and Others" as

a directing project, which is
sueprvised by Jack Brooking,
chairman of the Agnes Scott
theatre department.

Explaining her choice of a
play, she said, "I found someth-
ing of myself in each of the
characters, and I think the play
realistically portrays women's
feelings, their conflicts and fears
about their futures in a changing
society."

She also noted that the all-
female roles of the play provide
good acting opportunities for the
all-female student body of
Agnes Scott.

Dancers Present
"Kids' Show"

Clowns, animals and Star
Wars characters will dance
across the stage in the annual
"Kids' Show" by the Studio

Dance."

The dances were
choreographed by the student
members of Studio Dance
Theatre and by Mrs. Marlyin
Darling, director of the dance
theatre.

John Berry to Perform

cribed as "an early Kenny
Loggins," will perform in

Comic Opens Stars Superb

by Mary Beth Hebert

For the many (most) of you
who didn't attend last week's
one act operas by the Music
department, you really missed
something.

The first opera was Gian Carlo
Menotti's "The Telephone,"
starring Maribeth Kouts and Jeff
McClendon. Both were superb,
though Ms. Kouts was clearly
the best of the two. Perhaps it
was the similarity of the
characters, but she sounded to
me very much like Victoria
Mallory (Anne in "A Little Night
Music"). A powerful finale
showed both her and McClen-
don at their best.

The second opera was "A
Game of Chance," starring
Susan Dodson, Peggy Emery,

Carol Gorgus, and Mr. McClen-
don and written by Seymour
Barab (music) and Evelyn Draper
(text). The characters were all
well developed (particularly
Gorgus and McClendon).
Gorgus and Emery, though very
talented, lacked the necessary
power and support required for
their parts. Dodson was outstan-
ding, but she overpowered the
other two women. Her facial
expressions were excellent as
she moved the audience and
made them laugh.

All the singers/actors
managed the difficult taks of
combining demanding singing
and acting very well. All in all,
the show was excellent and our
music majors and Mr. McClen-
don are to be congratulated.

"A GAME OF CHANCE" The cast includes (I. to r.) Peggy Emrey as the woman seeking
fame, Jeff McClendon as the magician, Susan Dodson as the woman dreaming of romance
and Carol Gorgus as the woman wishing for wealth.

The Real Story Behind The Draft

STOPI If you value your future,

really happen if women are

Jr. Jaunt Alleviates Suffering

Mary Margaret Mopsy, com-
mittee chairman for Junior
Jaunt, was pleased to announce
today the results of a campus-
wide poll to select a worthy
recipient of the chart iy drive
funds. The choice was indeed
difficult this year and included
several worthy causes: The Crip-
pled Shaggers Society, an
organization aiding arthritic
beach music manics; The P. J.
Haley's Golden Years Club, a
senior citizen golf and tennis
club funded primarily by
donations from independent
beer bottlers; the D. M. M.
(Daughters of Margaret Mit-
chell) the Atlanta based chapter
of the President's Committee to
Promote Pedestrian Safety; and
the Decatur Feminine Health
Center, a medical organization
promoting midwifery and ab-
normal knowledge of "those
places." The campus voted
overwhelmingly, however, in
favor of Pink Pastures, a con-
valescent home for retired
debutantes.

.We at the Other Cheek, with a
strong sense of responsibility for
the dutiful expenditure of cam-
pus funds, interviewed Mrs.
Harriett Jones - Smith - Parker -
Brown of Pink Pastures to find
out what services the charitable
award would provide for the
home's occupants.

Mrs. Jones - Smith - Parker -
Brown, forty-seventy cousin
(twice removed) of Lester Mad-
dox, former Governor of
Georgia, and granddaughter of
General Robert E. Lee's closest
campanion, Traveler, was
delighted to learn that Agnes
Scott had selected Pink Pastures
as the 1981 Junior Jaunt
Charity. We spoke to Mrs. Jones

- Smith - Parker - Brown in the
comfort of her fasionable suite of
offices at Pink Pastures in
Hapeville.

OC: Mrs. Jones - Smith - Parker

- Brown, tell us a little about the
founding of Pink Pastures.
Mrs. JSPB: Back in January of
1 980, 1 was approached by an in-
timate associate of mine, Mrs.
Wayne Leperscene, about the
need for a center providing
retired debutantes (that is, girls

presented before 1957) with an
immunity from reality. The
peasants that populate today's
social scene are dreadfully
insensitive and woefully
ignorant of the delicate process
by which gentility, a congenital
gift, is nurtured. We have a
dream that this home will
provide a sanctuary for all that is
. . . ladylike.

OC: The donation from Scott is
substantial this year due to
alumnae interest in Pink Pas-
tures. Exactly what services will
the award provide and benefit?
Mrs. JSPB: My goodness . . .
there are so many, where shall I
begin?

OC: What about the plans to
renovate the Pink Pastures
library?

Mrs. JSPB: Oh, yes, the library
at Pink Pastures is our pride and
joy. Within those four walls are
the pastel joys of our meaningful
existence. You may have noticed
our special collection in the
Archives. We are particularly
proud of those botanical
treasures including the white
rose cluster worn by Miss Vivien
Leigh at her debut before the
Draperies Makers Union Ball.
OC: I see ... so the proceeds
from Scott's Junior Jaunt would
be instrumental in assuring the
preservation of such historically
significant items.
Mrs. JSPB: Absolutely, they
would also be indispensible in
aiding the subcommittee

established twenty minutes ago
at Pink Pastures in reaching its
very important goals.
OC: And what goals are these?
Mrs. JSPB: Well, officially the
committee is titled 'The Society
on Maintaining Perpetual Bliss.''
Of course, the implications are
obvious. Scott's money will be
channelled directly to this com-
mittee and delegated to provid-
ing much needed medical atten-
tion, including estrogen
treatments and nose lifts, and
other staples for existence. For
example, plaid blazer, khaki
skirts, add - a - denture nec-
klaces.

OC: Sounds very humanitarian.
Mrs. JSPB: Indeed it is. Too
many people have no idea of the

torment and agony my debs are
forced to endure due to the lack
of funds. Did you know I found it
necessary to stoop so low as
purchasing wholesale mass
quantities of those dreadful
IZOD imitation garments by that
designer . . . what's his name?
Yes, Jean Claude Penney . . . and
hand-sewing tiny pastel
alligators on each one? In-
dividually?

OC: How heartbreaking. We can

only hope that our small pittance

will be enough to alleviate some

of the terrible suffering those

women must endure.

Mrs. JSPB: Not women . . .

GIRLS.

OC: Yes, girls. Thank you, Mrs.
Jones - Smith - Parker - Brown.
Mrs. JSPB: Thank you, and may
God of the Marching Centuries,
Lord of the Passing Years pin
each and every Scottie to eternal
youth.

there is a severe downturn in the
economy. To reduce the rate of
inflation, he suggests con-
tinuing the policies of wage and
price guidelines, regulatory
reform and restraints on
government spending. He does
not favor mandatory wage or
price control.

Carter had a fairly good record
in 1979 in dealing with
congress. The new Department
of Education was created. He

secured economic aid for Egypt,
'srael, and Indo-Chinese pro-
ects. There is to be fuel subsidy
in the form of financial aid for
poor families with high heating

All in all, Carter is doing
remarkably well in the political
campaign considering he has yet
to venture out on the campaign
trail in person. He has support
for his responses to Soviet
aggression and his call for draft

registration. He is criticized in
that 41% of the people in a
recent survey want to see a
tougher stand against Moscow
and 44% say that he has^dealt
too softly with Iran. Needless to
say, there are others who
criticize his policies and actions.
However, he continues to get
support in all regions of the
country by all age groups. At this
point, a second term is not
beyond his reach.

Survivor (cont. from page 5)

She was featured in the fall is-
sue of Quest: The Pursuit of
excellence in an article titled

"How to Survive a Plane Crash."
A primer she wrote, "Getting out
in 90 Seconds" accompanied
the article. She said that most
crashes occur "unexpectedly on
takeoff or landing." She urgesall
passengers to learn to "survive
the impact and to evacuate the
plane as quickly as possible."
She also advised that
passengers avoid bringing too
many carry-on baggage, read
safety information cards, locate
exists near their seat, wear seat
belts, note the type of flotation
equipment, leave seat and tray
in proper position during takeoff
and landing and listen to the
flight attendant. She is ac-
cording to Quest the "first
crash survivor to teach safety in
a classroom."

One idea Ms. Uzzell-Rindlaub
presented to Congress was an

extended use of television safety
briefings at the airport and on
the plane.

Mr. Elliott Levitas, a represen-
tative of Georgia, said "Ma.
Uzzell . ..summed up what I con-
sider to be the essence of these
hearings, when she said that
"crashes are survivable." Rep.
David Cornwell of Indiana
commended Ms. Uzzell-Rin-
dlaub and another woman who
represented Southern Airways
for their presentations. He said,
"You are a credit to your profes-
sion."

Reflecting on the role of Agnes
Scott College in her life, she
said, "it gave me a very strong
liberal arts background from
which to draw in understanding
and appreciating the diverse
cultures encountered in my
travels around the world; ... it
game me a certain strength and
a desire to achieve excellence
regardless of the situation in
which I found myself."

applicants are advised that the
eight-week delays in processing
Law School Data Assembly
Service (LSDAS) reports, caused

by the late delivery of a new
computer system, have been
reduced to two weeks - the level
experienced in the past at this
time of year.

Because earlier delays slowed
the decision process in some law

schools, the Law School Ad-
mission Council, sponsor of the
LSDAS, has recommended that
the earliest deposit deadline
date of law schools be extended
from April 1, 1980 to May 1,
1980. Individual law schools,
however, determine their own
deadline dates.

As an additional measure, the
LSDAS has also asked law
schools to verify that each

school has all the information
from the LSDAS necessary to
complete its admission
decisions for the year.

More than 275,000 LSDAS
reports have been produced by
the system for far this year, ac-
cording to Educational Testing
Service, which administers the
LSDAS for the Law School Ad-
mission Council.

The LSDAS was begun in
1970 at the request of law

schools. Its purpose is to sum-
marize information from college
transcripts, test scores from the
Law School Admission Test and
other biographical information
used for evaluation by law
school admission offices.

Students who are faced with
specific problems involving
LSDAS reports are asked to
write to Law Programs,

Letters To The Editor

As the new editor of The Profile, I would like
to say thanks to those responsible for putting
me in office. The election was based on
nominations made by the outgoing editor and
voted on by Rep Council. This procedure allows
for an on - going staff, and, therefore, a more ef-
ficient one.

Surprisingly, The Profile was at one time an
award-winning newspaper. Admittedly, we are
rather different now, but changes have been
made in the lastcouple of years, and it looks like
we are on our way back up. Much, much credit
is due to Sharon Maitland, last year's editor,
who was really dedicated to makingThe Profile
a good, informative and entertaining voice of
the student body. Take a bow, Sharon.

However, the editor can not do it alone. A
hard working and dedicated staff is needed. A
continuous wave of faces pass through this of-
fice, and while we are glad to see them, we just
wish that they would stay a little longer. To

those of you staying on from last quarter,
thanks!, and to those of you we haven't seen
yet, come on in and stay a while! Hardly any of
the positions on the paper have been filled, so
you are welcome to petition. And, we can
always, always use reporters. Come by any
Monday night at 6:30 pm and we'll be more
than happy to put you to work!!

I really can't emphasize enough the need for
help. Those staff members who are staying on
will agree with me, I'm sure. Granted, the jobs
are sometimes thankless and seem trivial, but it
is without those workers that we could not
survive. And remember, you have no right to
complain about the quality of the paper unless
you are willing to make it better! So PLEASE,
pitch in!

Sincerely,
Lee Kite

"The Other Cheek" Disappoints

Dear Editor,

Now that the Lanier Sailing
Academy has completed an
Autumn and a Winter Course in
Navigation, I feel that the Agnes
Scott Students who participated
in it should deserve a little
recognition in the Profile. These
students were trained in Celes-
tial Navigation over a period of 8
weeks, passed their
examination and earned their
Diploma of proficiency in Celes-
tial Navigation. Their names are:
Susan Smith, Susan Proctorand
Joy Johnson.

The next Navigation courses
will start on April 8 and April 9
respectively for Celestial and
Coastwise Navigation. There
will be two free scholarships for
A. S C. - students. For further in-
formation, please contact Julius
Staal, Bradley Observatory, Ext.
335. Lanier Sailing Academy
and Agnes Scott College entered
in a joined venture to have these
courses taught at the Bradley
Observatory.

To the Editor:

We will not comment on the
quality of the humor oozing from
"The Other Cheek" because
personal definitions of what
does or does not constitute
humor are subjective. But we
object vehemently to the anti-
Semitism in the first "item"
under "From Hollywood (I
wish)." While we do not agree in
any way with Ms. "King's" pre-
judice, we respect her right to
her belief (as distasteful as we
believe it is). But we will not be
silent and, hence, give passive
approval to her bias. We are dis-
tressed by the irresponsible and

careless editing evidenced by
the inclusion of a derogatory,
prejudiced view in a newspaper
published for and by a body of
human beings of varied
nationalities and religious
beliefs.

ASC Hostage Crisis

Editor's Note:

The following wasfound on a
"Graffiti Sheet" in Winshipthe
week of exams. Now that we
are all rested up and have
recovered from the ordeal, I
thought it might be amusing to
see how one freshman, Phyllis
Scheines, and one senior, Lisa
Wise, looked at the situation.

Day Three of the Hostage Crisis
at Agnes Scott

(Decatur UPI) It has just been
confirmed that the Scott Em-
bassy was taken over by militant
exams on Saturday. These
terrorists take orders from a man
calling himself the Ayatollah
Perry Negotiations are under
way for all 500 hostages We are
told that they will all be released
by Friday. It is impossible to tell
how long this mental and
physical torture will affect the
hostages. Asylums all across the
country are making
preparations.

Day Four of ASC Hostage
Crisis

(Decatur UPI) reports that the
distraught parents of all 500
young women now held captive
since Saturday have offered
$20,000 (payable over a four
year period) as ransom.
Ayatollah Perry is considering
this offer and will bring the

motion before the Revolutionary
Board of Trustees. The more
militant rival of Perry, the
Ayatollah Gary, however, says
she and her devotees will reject
this offer and force the hostages
to bear forever the title "alum-
nae" in tribute to the
conservative and reactionary
regime of ASC.

Reagan Advocates Conservativism

by Marcia Whetsel

Ronald W. Reagan, former
governor of California, and
leader of the conservative wing
of the Republican Party, is run-
ning for President. Reagan feels
that he is the country's best
chance to put conservative
leadership back in the White
House.

Reagan was born in Tampico,
III. on Feb. 6, 1 91 1 . He received
his bachelor's degree from
Eureka College, III. in 1932. He
then became a sports announcer
for radio stations in Davenport
and Des Moines, Iowa. In 1937,
he made a trip to California
where he took a screen test and
signed a movie contract with
Warner Brothers. Some of his
major films include "Dark Vic-
tory," "Knute Rockne - All
American" and "King's Row".

In 1940, he married actress

Jane Wyman and during World
War II he served the Army - Air
Force in California, where he
helped make training films.

After the war, he became in-
volved in the Screen Actors
Guild and was elected to the first
of his six terms as its president in
1947. At this time he was a
liberal Democrat and an active
anti-communist.

In 1952, he married Nancy
Davis, his first marriage having
ended in divorce in 1948.

In the 1950's Reagan's
political philosophy was becom-
ing gradually more conservative,
but he did not officially switch to
the Republican Party until 1 962.

In 1954, Reagan began a
career in television asthe host of
General Electric Theater and
later he became the spokesman
for the company. From 1962 to
1965 he was the host of

television series, "Death Valley
Days."

In the 1 960 s Reagan became

increasingly active in
Republican politics. In 1 966, en-
couraged by wealthy
conservatives he ran for
governor of California, defeating
Democrat incumbent Edmund
G. Brown by nearly one million

votes. He was reelected in 1 970
and during his two terms he tried
to implement his conservative
ideas of government. He was
able to balance California's
budget and turn a $500 million
surplus overto his successor. He
also turned back $5.7 billion in
credits and rebates to the
taxpayers and he introduced
welfare reform programs.

In 1 968, Reagan made an un-
successful last minutetryforthe
Republican Presidential

Nomination, losing to Richard
M. Nixon. Again in 1976 he ran
for the nomination against in-
cumbent President Gerald Ford.
He was able to electrify his
conservative supporters across
the country, scoring impressive
victories in the primaries with
attacks on detente with the
Soviet Union and excessive
Federal spending. However, he
lostto Ford onthefirst ballotbya
vote of 1 , 1 87 to 1 ,070, one of the
narrowest margins in the party's
history.

His stands on the issues:
Inflation: He says that the
main cause is huge and con-
tinuous government deficits and
that this must be controlled.
Defense: He wants a strong

defense that is second to none.

Foreign Policy: He would like
a comprehensive foreign policy

Ronald Reagan

that recognizes U.S. interests
and supports our allies such as
Israel and Taiwan.

Government Regulation: He
is against the swollen
bureaucracy and undue
government regulations that
stifle the economy.

Taxes: He wants to end the
inheritance tax and cut taxes
from savings accounts.

Alumna Recalls Term Papers And Poetry;
Now She Writes And Publ ishes Books

Editor's note: The following
article is from a special
interview with Catherine
Marshall. Laurie wrote Ms.
Marshall, asking about her life
and her feelings toward Scott.
Ms. Marshall's reply is the
basis for the article.

by Laurie McBrayer

Many students recognize the
name Catherine Marshall.
However, few realize that the
author of Christy, Beyond
Ourselves, A Man Called Peter
and several other books,
graduated from Agnes Scott
College.

Ms. Marshall, whose married
name is LeSourd, left Keyser,
West Virginia to attend Agnes
Scott College beginning in the
fall of 1932. As a result of high
school speech competition, she
won a four year scholarship to
West Virginia University;
however, she explained that it
was not the right school for her.
"To prospective college students
today, it would seem very odd
that I never even saw Agnes
Scott until I got there as a
freshman. I accepted it by faith,
absolutely certain that this was
where I belonged, and that
proved to be right, " she said.

"I got there the hard way
because we did not have the
financial resources for it. My
journey was by faith all the way, -

she said. Although Agnes
Scott did grant her a work
scholarship, it was not sufficient
to cover additional costs such as
transportation, clothes, and
other costs. Because Mrs. Wood,

Catherine's mother, was offered
a job by a federal project for
writers, the family was able to
meet the cost of college.

According to a McGraw-Hill
biography of Ms. Marshall, des-
pite financial difficulties,
"Agnes Scott was the
experience for Catherine that
college is supposed to be. It was
the most thrilling time of her
life.'' Her interests included
playing tennis, debating (she
was president of the club), hiking
at Stone Moutnain, going into
Atlanta, dating and writing
poetry. For her work scholarship
she answered phones in the
dormitories and assisted an
American History professor in
his research.

Although she was a History
major, she took many English
courses and was an active
member of the Poetry Club.
Agnes Scott professors des-
cribed Ms. Marshall as a serious
student. In a speech she
delivered at Agnes Scott several
years ago she said "I was
grateful to be here, and I know
now that gratitude is fertile soil
for the learning process."

In the spring of her freshman
year, she had an English as-
signment for which she had to
choose among a list of authors
and write aterm paper about one
particular author. She chose
Katherine Mansfield. 'Through
writing that paper I discovered
something important about
myself and who I was . . . There
was in me an unquenchable
desire to create on paper," she

said. She explained that there
was a sixteen year span from
writing the Katherine Mansfield
paper to entering the publishing
world. However, it was "that
moment (during spring quarter)
the rudder inside me was
set ever so quickly."

Her interest in writing
expanded as she learned to write
poetry . Although her calling was
not to be a poet she later dis-
covered that from writing poetry
she learned an importanttechni-
que. Her moment of
enlightenment apparently came
from reading comments of
several Harvard English profes-
sors "to the effect that there is
no basic training in writing like
trying one's hand at poetry. In
poetry one has to find the precise
word. One's thoughts have to be
placed in small compass as
sharp as an arrow. Imagination
has to come into play, or the
poetry is just blah. And dis-
cipline ah discipline!"

Soon Ms. Marshall became
totally immersed in writing; term
papers and poetry were in her
past and she began to write
books. But first, she married
Peter Marshall, the pastor of
Atlanta's Westminster Pres-
byterian Church, in 1936. He
later became the chaplain of the
United States Senate and pastor
of the New York Avenue Pres-
byterian Church. He died in
1949 and in 1951 Ms. Marshall
Dublished A Man Called Peter

In 1959 she married Leonard

Le Sourd, a writer and editor of
Guideposts. After nine years of
work, Christy was published in
1 967. Ms. Marshall is currently
working on her second novel and
plans to finish it in a year. She
explained, "The setting of the
story is the 30's, and behind the
scenes will be part of my own
story."

Reflecting on her college
years, Ms. Marshall said, "I
would certainly go back to Agnes
Scott College. Its size suited me.
I loved the intimacy of the cam-
pus. I greatly enjoyed the fact
that we did not have to be
bothered with men during the
week, but could really keep our
noses stuck in the books, then
had scores of men crossing the
campus on weekends and all the
social life we wanted. To me it
was the Derfect balance."

Ms. Marshall who received a
Phi Beta Kappa key from Agnes
Scott in 1954 has much advice
for current students. "I think the
important thing is to try to find
one's own niche academically
during the freshman year, so
that one has three years to enjoy
the courses where real interests
are."

In her speech she said, "My
thoughtful conclusion is that on
a campus like this one you have
an incrediblyf ine heritage. Make
the most of it. Relish the true
intellectual freedom you find
here. I wish for each of you as
much joy as I discovered at
Agnes Scott.

news conference, Spoleto Com-
pany Manager Carmen Kovens
said, "We are honored to
present an artist of Mr.
Godunov's stature as part of the
exceptional quality and diversity

of this year's Festival.''

According to Ms. Kovens, the
Dance Gala will feature several
dancers performing the works of
a number of different
choreographers. Mr. Godunov
will dance "The Moor's
Pavanne" with three members
of the famed Jose Limon Com-
pany, as choreographed by Mr.
Limon.

Aleksandr Godunov was born
on November 25, 1949 on an
island near Japan, where his
father was stationed with the
Russian Army. When he was
one, he moved with his brother
and mother to Riga. Godunov
studied in Moscow, joining the
Moiseyev Young Ballet at age
seventeen.

In 1971, Godunov became a
member of the Bolshoi Ballet.
One month later he danced his
first principal role, Siegfried in
"Swan Lake". His meteoric rise
within the Bolshoi has often
been attributed to the fact that
Maya Plisetskaya chose him as
her partner for tours of Russia,
Europe, and - in 1 974 - America.

After his 1 974 tour of America
with the Bolshoi, Godunov did
not return to this country until
last summer. Then, on August
23, 1979, while the Bolshoi was
appearing at the State Theatejjn
New York's Lincoln Center,
Godunov defected, requested
and was granted asylum in
America.

Godunov's first public
appearance after his defection
was in January with the Berlin
Opera Ballet. In February, he
danced with the American Ballet
Theatre in Chicago.

The two Spoleto Festival
Dance Gala performances at the
Gaillard Municipal Auditorium
are among the over 125
performances taking place dur-
ing this year's 1 7-day Festival in
Charleston. Other events in-
clude opera, film, theatre, jazz,
chamber music, country music,
art exhibits, and more dance.

'Ticket sales are going very
well," said Ms. Kovens. "We
have now sold over $325,000 in
tickets. Seats are still available
for all Festival events, and there
are plenty of hotel rooms
available throughout the
Charleston area. However, we
do urge people to make their

Student Term Paper To Be Publ ished

by Colleen Flaxington

Julie Carithers, a sophomore
here at Agnes Scott, wrote a
term paper last quarter for her
American History class that has
given her some new and exciting
responsibilities. "The Atlanta
Historical Journal", the
quarterly publication of the
Atlanta Historical Society, is go-
ing to publish Julie's work. It will
appear in eitherthis year's fall or
winter issue.

Always having been
interested in local history, and
having a love for old homes,
Julie, who was raised in Atlanta,
decided to explore some of the
history and architecture she had
grown up with. That is how her
papercameto be entitled "SELF-
SUFFICIENCY IN THE
ANTEBELLUM SOUTH: A Study
of Greek Revival Architecture in
North Georgia and Its Relation-
ship to Local Industry."

To find information for her
paper, she first researched the
backgrounds of three fairly well-
known homes that fell into the
guidelines she had set: The
Alston Home, which was built in
Decatur, and Barrington and
Bulloch Halls of Roswell, Ga.
Though each of these dwellings
was built between 1840 and
1860, Julie found that there
were distinct differences
between the Alston residence
and the homes built in Roswell.

When the Alston home was
built, Decatur already had the
needed craftsmen and
materials, thus the structure
was almost completely locally
produced, and the house is of an
original design. In Roswell,
(where at that time the
technology was not fully
developed,) it was necessary to
build a brickyard and a sawmill
in order to procure the required
building materials, and
architects and craftsmen also
had to be imported. So the
designs for these two houses in
Roswell were borrowed from
other architectural sources.
Julie began to see a pattern

emerging: When an area hasthe
necessary technology, a home is
more apt to be of an original
design than if the craftsmen and
material aren't initially there.

Julie found that she needed a
lot more time to research for her
paperthan was usual. She spent
hours in library deed rooms,
interviewed families, and took a
lot of photographs. Amy
Friedlander, a visiting professor
of history, guided Julie's
research. It was she who first
suggested they show the paper
to some experts in the field, in-
cluding Dan Carter, Prof, of His-
tory at Emory and authority of
Southern history, who

suggested that the paper could
be published.

So began the monumental
task of changing a scholarly
work into one with a more
narrative style. "I have to gear
what I've done for the reading
public," Julie explains. Now,
also, every fact must be checked
and rechecked for accuracy, and
Julie finds she needs to talk to
experts knowledgeable in the
building of the homes in order to
come to a better understanding
and feeling for what she is
writing.

Sometimes, getting the paper
ready for publication gets frus-
trating. "I got my paper back

from the editor, and a page and a
half, which represented weeks
of research, had been cut to 2 or
3 lines." But there have been
rewarding times as well. "One of
the best things has been talking
wiht Katherine Simpson, the
owner of Barrington Hall. She
remembers so much about living
in the house and.showed me old
letters to help me understand its
background.

"I think all the homes have
their own, distinct atmosphere
and you can just sense the his-
tory of each one. It's been fun,
and I hope to publish more
articles someday."

Focus on "Kaleidoscope 'SO"

plicants, KALEIDOSCOPE 80

usually intimidate them.

Atlantan Reports Iran Visit

Atlanta Attorney, Clinton
Deveaux, will speak on his
recent visit to Iran where he met
with the Revolutionary Council
and student militants holding
hostages at the American Em-
bassy there. Deveaux, a partner
in the Atlanta law firm, Schultz,

Ellenberg and Roberts, financed

the trip in February along with
forty-eight other American
citizens, believing that "a
dialogue between Americans
and Iranians can help solve the
present crisis there."

Deveaux, a former Georgia
state senator, is president of the
American Civil Liberties Union

and is currently serving his
fourth term inthat office. He also
serves on the ACLU's National
Board as well as its National
Executive Committee. A
graduate of Emory law school,
he is married to Atlanta
television news anchorwoman,
Monica Kaufman.

Deveaux's talk on his visit to

Iran is sponsored by the
Students for Black Awareness.

The talk will take place on
Wednesday, April 9, at 7:00 p.m.
in the Buttrick film room.

Students, faculty and staff are
urged to attend the event and
take part in the groupdiscussion
that will follow the talk.

S.G.A. President Looks Ahead

I am so thrilled about the up-
coming year for SGA. Y'all are
going to have to bear with me for
a while until I can get the full sw-
ing of this job. Kemper istraining
me; believe me, I'm learning
fast, and furiously.

*\ think Kemper has done an
excellent job. She has helped
Agnes Scott in so many ways. I
think each and every one of us
should give Kemper a round of
applause. She has certainly seta
terrific model for future SGA

presidents.

I hope everyone is going to get
involved this quarter. Rep has
some mighty big plans and
without you, the plans are shot.
The Drinking Policy and Parietal
Policy must be reviewed this

quarter. I also want to widen the
communication channels
between the faculty/Ad-
ministration and student body.

Each Rep Council member is
going to act as a liaison between
the departments and Rep Coun-

Committee. I know this would
cut down some major com-
plaints the students have with
Agnes Scott's curriculum. More
on this later.

I cannot stress the importance
of getting involved and reading

Anderson Begins Fall Plans

First I want everyone to know
that I am very excited about be-
ing Chairman of Interdorm. I
think we have great new
interdorm and dorm councils.
Congratulations to all new
members.

Now that elections are over
what can I say to earn your sup-
port for next year? Pretty please?
As I said in my speech, to be
successful, interdorm needs
your support. Therefore, please
follow dorm regulations, and
take care of your dorm council
members. They need your
cooperation and respect. It
bothers me that fewer students
run for Interdorm positions in
comparison to S.G.A. and Honor
Court. We have a great council
so far but we should not have
empty spots on the ballot. I
realize that Interdorm is the
lowest on the Big three, but that
is still pretty big. We do all sorts
of things; work with the Dean of
Students office, represent dorm
students, handle executive and
judicary matters and -throw
twice as many parties I So how
about it?
As of March 31 st there were

still a couple of "great spots"
open, especially in Hopkins. I
know there are several of you
just wa iti ng to show Agnes Scott
your "great talents and
abilities." Here is your chancel
(If you miss out this year, think
about Interdorm and dorm coun-
cil next year).

Enough campaigning. As far
as business for this quarter is
concerned, the old and new
councils will meet Monday April
7th at our monthly jointmeeting.
Later in the spring the new
council will have a short work
shop to begin plans for the fall.

The major thing which both
boards will plan is Room
Drawing, May 6 at 6:00 in
Gaines. S.G.A. will have a
Student Body meeting during
the first part, to which seniors
should attend. Interdorm and
Mollie Merrick will then manage
room drawing, after which
everyone is invited t.o
Interdorm 's party in the Quad.

I look forward to a good
quarter and exciting year.

Thank you,
Helen Anderson

cil> The Faculty and Ad-
ministration will hopefully give
Rep some ideas, and in turn they
will know what is going on in
Rep and what the students want.
I would like for the Class Reps to
inform each respective class of
what is going on in Rep and to
find out what each class is
interested in seeing done. This
way Rep will know exactly what
the students want. Also, the
minutes from every Rep Council
meeting will be pa Iced on the
Rep and dorm bulletin boards.

During the fall, I want to see
what the possibility is of getting

Congratulations to all the new

Burdetteon Honor Court

To ASC Students:

As Honor Court begins its
work this quarter, I'm very en-
thusiastic about the next year
together! Seven of the nine
newly - elected members have
previously served on the board;
we'll be building on this store of
experience in the weeks ahead.
We will also be looking for new
ideas and opinions of the
student body. Your input will
make all the difference in the
effectiveness of Honor Court;
don't hesitate to contact
members whenever you have
questions or thoughts about
what we are doing.

While the new board
organized itself, Honor Court
would also like to express its ap-
preciation to last year's
members - especially to
Chairman Jenny Spencer who
did so much in 1979-80. We're
grateful for the active role and

the good example they have
provided us.

I'm looking forward very much
to a great upcoming year. The
experience of our Honor Court
Members and the cooperation of
you, the student body, gives us

an unusual opportunity to work
together for Agnes Scott!

Graduate explores Ireland,
describes experiences

By Laurie McBrayer
Features Editor

For a liberal arts graduate, the
paths to a career related to her
major are many. Agnes Scott
students traditionally enter
diverse fields. But not all become
immediately immersed in the ac-
tivities of the outside world. A
recent graduate, Nancy Perry
79, who was an English major,
decided that she would like to
experience rural life. So, follow-
ing graduation she headed for
the British Isles. Excerpts from a
letter to Mrs. Linda Woods
reveal Nancy's efforts to survive
and learn from living in a foreign
country. Nancy spent some time
in Ireland, but wrote this letter
from Scotland.

February 9, 1980
Saturday

Dear Mrs. Woods,

Knowing how much you love
and adore D.H. Lawrence . . . I've
enclosed one of the newspaper
clippings so you can start plan-
ning for your next visit to an

author's home. If you don't go for
D.H. Lawrence's sake - or even
to get to hear what Allen
Ginsberg has' to say about
America - you should at least go
for the sakes of Philip Roth, Alan
Bates, and Dustin Hoffman! . . .

Obviously from my return ad-
dress (hint!) I ended up not stay-
ing and working in Ireland.
Grooms, lighthouse-keepers,
and shepherds aren't in much of
a big demand, over there, this
time of year. I did, tho, get an
offer as a vet's assistant (blood-
sampling cows, sheep, and
horses), but would only have
been paid at $2.50 a day, not in-
cluding room and board. Plus it
was getting near Christmas, I
wanted a definite place to stay
for the holidays, and I was stuck
in Belfast where people were
genuinely worried that the I.R.A.
would make a Christmas blitz
(despite all that mess, Belfast, I
thought was really interesting,
busy city with wonderfully,
friendly people.) So ... I came
here to Scotland and am now
"gainfully employed" as a hotel
restaurant silver-service
waitress complete with kilt,
white blouse, a serving cloth
over the arm, etc. After a month

and a half in this place, lean now
clean and re-set a table in less
than two minutes, use a serving
spoon and fork to dish out any
shape of food onto people's
plates, and balance a tray of
steaks on one arm and serve a
table of forteen . . . tho I've also
sta ined a lot of the guests' skirts
or trousers in the meantime. Not
a very uniquely (sp?) glamorous
job or genuinely "Scottish." It's
incredible - most (not all) of the
other people who work in this
hotel are almost exactly like the
"Monteen's" and "Alberta's" I
worked with atthe Piggly Wiggly
Restaurant at home or Hungry
Lion Restaurant at home . . .

Still, although working here
could be like working anywhere
else, there's a lot I wouldn't be
seeing at home." There's the
bagpipe music on the radioalong
with the "true" punk rock direct
from London, Bell's Scotch
whisky, pints of Hommling
Lager, Inverness Castle in the
town 30 miles from here, Scotch
Pines and The Queen's Forest
right outside of Aviemare, "real
live" country lanes with small
churches, pastures, and farms

Agnes Scott College an-
nounces a new education
program designed to prepare
. students to teach music in public
schools. Upon completion of the
course, the State Department of
Education will issue a certificate
to students allowing them to
teach music in Georgia public
schools. The course enables
students to teach choral and
elementary general music in
elementary school, middle

school, and high school. The
new program does not offer
preparation for teaching
instrumental music. As soon as
interest is shown in the
program, the department
intends to hire someone with a
specialty in music education.

Requirements for the course
are similar to requirements for a
major in music. Anyone
interested in teaching music
should contact Mr. Mathews for
further details.

tains in Alaska, dig for pre-his-
toric man in India, or trace the
route of Marco Polo through
China? A new firm - Expedition
Research, Inc. - has launched a
campaign to register adventure-
minded college students who
are looking to join expeditions.

Expedition Research, Inc., a
placement service for adven-
turers and explorers, is now
accepting applications from
college students,
photographers, scuba divers,
mountain climbers,
archaeologists, ocean sailors,
scientists, and other explorers
who want to be placed on
various scientific and
exploratory expeditions
worldwide.

Over 1 00 expeditions have ap-
proached ERIforteam members.
These projects range from
archaeological excavations to
Himalayan mountaineering,
from oceanographic surveys and
cave exploration to scientific
investigtions on all six con-
tinents. Some expeditions
award salaries, commissions,
and royalties to team members;
others require cost sharing.
Expeditions last from several
days to several months.

Students, either
undergraduate or graduate, are
in demand. They gain field
experience by working with
professors and scientists in-
volved in their field of study.

"One interesting fact we have
discovered," says Jim Stout, Co-
Director of the Firm, "is that
many people are not aware of
the number of exploratory and
research oriented projects that
are being formed each year. We
receive requests for ERI
members to join expeditions
weekly."

Expedition Research, the
brainchild of two experienced
mountaineers, was formed on
the premise that there are
thousands of adventurers
around the world who would like
to put their talents and interests
to use in the field, but who do not
know how to go about it. ERI
provides a service not only to
these individuals, but to the
groups who are looking forthem.

The firm assists leaders of
expeditions in their search for
sponsorship, funding, and
equipment, as well as team
members.

Requests for members in the

last month include an array of
expeditions open to college
students:

-Little Cayman Expedition,
marine botany in the Caribbean,
with SCUBA instruction. Spon-
sored by the Expedition training
Institute.

Jericho Excavation Project:
archaeological dig near
Jerusalem. Sponsored by the
Israel Exploration Society.

-Mountaineering Expedition
to Dhaulagiri I: climb of the sixth
highest mountain in the world,
sponsored by the American
Alpine Club.

Wildlife Study in Kenya:
behavioral study of African
wildlife in July and August.
Sponsored by the University of
Delaware.

Circimnavigation oftheGlobe:
an American team sets out to
sail around the world. Spon-
sored by Women at the Helm.

Alliance presents Macbeth

26,

Memorial Day Museum closed

The Alliance brings a
successful season to a pas-
sionate close with
Shakespeare's MACBETH. A
chilling tale of violence, remorse
and magnificent poetry, the
timeless classic opens April
16th.

Michael Zaslow plays the
vulnerable Scottish Thane,
brought to tragic doom by the
prophecies of witches and a
power-hungry queen. Mr.
Zaslow is no stranger to bad
guys, and is known to many as
the contemptible Roger Thorpe
on CBS' The Guding Light." On
Broadway, Mr. Zaslow was
recently seen as Rick in CAT
ON A HOT TIN ROOF, Perchik
in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
and Jimmy in THERE'S A GIRL
IN MYSOUP. He has performed
Shakespeare at regional
theatres across the country, in-
cluding productions of
HAMLET, KING LEAR,
OTHELLO and TWO GEN-
TLEMEN OF VERONA.

Lady Macbeth, possibly the
most forceful of Shakespeare's
females, will be played by Carol
Mayo Jenkins. Miss Jenkins
recently portrayed the taunting
queen for PBS' television
MACBETH. On Broadway she
played Natasha in THE THREE
SISTERS, Mrs. Polignac in
THERE'S ONE IN EVERY
MARRIAGE and Jocasta in
KINGS - OEPIDUS REX. Off-
Broadway she appeared in the
highly acclaimed production of
MOLIERE IN SPITE OF
HIMSELF and received a Drama
Desk Award Nomination as
Outstanding Actress for ZIN-
NIA.

Terry Beaver will be seen as
Macduff, the avenger of the
king's murder. Philip Pleasants
is Banquo, whose knowledge of
Macbeth's horrible deed
becomes his fatal misfortune.
Edward Lee portrays Duncan,
the martyred king, with Lee
Tombs and Steven McCloskey as
his sons, Malcolm and

Donalbain. Ian Trigger will be
seen as the Porter.

Anne Haney, Roberta lllg,
Mary Ann Hearn, Rita Byrd and
Jeroy Hannah play the witches.
Ruth McRee is Lady Macduff.
Other major roles will be played
by Skip Foster, David McCann
and Al Hamacher.

MACBETH is directed by
Alliance Artistic Director Fred
Chappell. The sets and lighting
are designed by Michael
Stauffer, the costumes by Thorn
Coates.

MACBETH opens Wednes-
day, April 16th at the Alliance
Theatre, where it will play
through May 13th.

Performances in Piedmont Park,
subject to a grant from Fulton
County, are scheduled for May
15, 16, 17. Alliance tickets are
$7.75 and $5.50 except Friday
and Saturday evenings when
they are $9.00 and $7.00. For
reservations please phone the

Anderson Announces Liberal Policies

by Marcia Whetsel

John B. Anderson, 58 year old
representative from Illinois, is
one of the most liberal of the
candidates for the 1980 G.O.P.
presidential nomination. He
feels that he has an advantage
over his conservative
Republican opponents against
the Democrats since many
within the Democratic party are
dissatisfied with President
Carter's policies and are ready to
be won over to the Republican
party with the right candidate.
Anderson boldly embraces
liberal social programs while
urging a tightfisted approach to
government spending.

Anderson, whose father
emigrated from Sweden, was
born on Feb. 15, 1922 in
Rockford, III, one ofsix children.
His father operated a small
grocery store in a predominently
Scandinavian section of town.

Rated one of the best orators
in Congress, Anderson
developed his forensic skills in
high school debates and was
named class valedictorian. He
won a bachelor-of-arts degree in
political science at the
University of Illinois in three
years and was elected to Phi
Beta Kappa, the scholastic
honorary society.

Anderson's law studies at
Illinois were interrupted by
World War II and he spent two
and a half years in the Field
Artillery, seeing action in France
and Germany.

Anderson was awarded a law
degree in 1946 and spent two
years with a Rockford law firm.
At that point he won a graduate
fellowship at Harvard, receiving
a master-of-laws degree in
1 949. While attending Harvard,
he also taught law part-time at
Northwestern University in Bos-
ton.

His practice in Rockford was
interrupted again in 1 952 when
he agreed to serve as adviser to
the U.S. high commissioner for
West Germany. It was when he
was getting his passport to go to
Berlin that he met Keke
Machakos, a photographer at
the State Department's passport
division, who he married in West
Berlin on Jan. 4, 1953. Mrs.
Anderson is of Greek descent
and actively supports her hus-
band in his campaign for the
presidency. The couple has five
children.

After three years in Germany,
Anderson returned to Rockford
and was elected state's attorney
in 1 956. Four years later he won
the House seat being vacated by

another Republican.

As a representative Anderson
has moved sharply from doc-
trinaire conservatism to a blend
of convictions that finds him
liberal on social issues such as
abortion and the E.R.A., but as
fiscally conservative as any of
the other Republican presiden-
tial hopefuls.

Anderson supported Richard
Nixon's election in 1968 and en-
dorsed Nixon's revenue - shar-
ing concept as a move to bring
government closer to the people .

However, as the Vietnam war
continued, Anderson became
more and more estranged from
the White House. The breach
culminated in Anderson's vote
to override Nixon's veto of a
measure that sharply limited the
President's warmaking powers.
Anderson was one of the first
Republicans to criticize White
House handling of the
Watergate crisis. He cos-
ponsored a resolution with other
House Republicans calling for a
special prosecutor to handle the
investigation, and a year later he
urged Nixon to resign.

His stand on the issues:

Taxes: "Any tax cut should be
tailored selectively to -stimulate
investment by allowing a credit
for research and development,

providing shelter for capital
gains with a credit on gross in-
come."

Budget: "I would not sit still
for another 30-billion dollar
deficit. Programs already
authorized should be cut by at
least 10 billion dollars."

Energy: "I propose a new
gasoline tax of 50 cent a gallon.
The estimated 50 billion dollars
it would raise could finance
substantial cutbacks in Social
Security taxes and help those
who are hurt by energy costs."

Nuclear power: "We can't
abandon the present programs,
which account for 1 2 percent of
our electricity. We must,
however set tough new stan-
dards."

Equal-rights amendment:

'The E.R.A. is needed to en-
shrine in the constitution the
moral value judgement that sex
discrimination is wrong and to
insure tht all states and the
federal governments review and
revise their laws and official
practices to eliminate dis-
crimination."

Abortion: ''People should be
able to make the choice for
themselves and not have it made
for them by an intrusive and
heavy-handed government."

Souce: U.S. News and World
Report, Nov. 26, 1979.

"Mark of Zorro"

"Mark of Zorro," a swashbuc-
kling tale of adventure and
romance, will show one time
only at Agnes Scott College
Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. in the
Buttrick Hall Film Room. Ad-
mission is $1 .00.

Produced in 1940 by Darryl
Zanuck, "Mark of Zorro" stars
Tyrone Power as Zorro, the rec-
kless adventurer and avenger of
wrongdoing.

ing Film Series will continue

showings of the 1965 film,
"Ship of Fools," based on the
novel by Katherine Anne Porter.

Seminars Interest Many

Students tour
New York City

by Julie Babb
Editors Note: Future articles in
this series will examine the four
seminars offered this spring.

Freshmen/sophomore
seminars are in their third
successful year at Agnes Scott.
These one hour seminars were
proposed in the Spring of 1 977
for several different reasons.
The Faculty felt it would be a
idea to acquaint the freshmen
and sophomores with a small
group seminar (limited to 12
people) where students could

A new opportunity for study in
Denmark will be offered this fall
when Scandinavian Seminar
begins its one-semester
program for college students
and other adults. The program
will start at the end of July and
extend over the fall months till
mid-December.

- It will be run along the same
lines as Scandinavian Seminar's
regular academic year program
in Denmark, Finland, Norway or
Sweden. After a short in-
troductory course, the students
will participate in an intensive

participate in a good deal of class
discussion and faculty/student
discussion; this method of learn-
ing is new for most students. The
seminars serve as an in-
troduction to the discipline and
the seminars also help students
to atta in hours when they have a
light course load. Juniors and
Seniors are not included in this
program because many
upperclassmen courses are in a
seminar setting and the
seminars usually present an
overview rather than specifics.
The course topics vary from

two-week language course and
then spend some time with a
Danish family practicing the
language.

From early September the
students will live and study
among Scandinavians at Danish
folk schools (small residential
liberal arts schools), where they
will further improve their
language skills and immerse
themselves in the Danish life
and culture.

On the basis of a detailed
written evaluation, recommen-
dation for credit will be sent to

quarter to quarter and from year
to year. Any Department may
offer a seminar. It is usually
preferred that the same seminar
not be offered year after year.

The seminars have been very
successful and generally they
are filled up rather quickly; often
there is a waiting list.
Enrollment is limited and very
strict. If you are interested in a
seminar, you must sign up with
Dean Hudson who said, in res-
ponse to the program, "I am
very, very pleased!"

each student's home college or
university. The fee, covering
tuition, room, board and course-
connected travel in Denmark, is
$3,500 for this five-month
program. Interest-free loans are
granted on the basis of need, as
are a few small scholarships.
Applications for the program will
be accepted until May 15th.

SCANDINAVIAN SEMINAR
100 East 85th Street
New York, N.Y. 10028

by Ann Conner

As the majority of Agnes Scott
students joined the yearly
migration of the college set to
the beaches of Florida to initiate
hard earned tans and to engage
in the revelry this season
guarantees, a group of theater
enthusiasts headed in the op-
posite direction for seven days in
New York City. Ann Harris,
Christine Silvio, Carol Tveit,
Maggie Evans, and Professor
John Toth, all Agnes Scott as-
sociates, with a collection of
interested theater folks from
elsewhere, participated in a
program headed by Field Studies
Center of New York City. The
package offered by the center in-
cludes seven days and six nights
in the "Big Apple" with ac-
comodations at the Hotel Edison
in the center of the theater dis-
trict. The trip began with an
orientation session hosted by a
team provided by the center,
which provided information
about transportation, free
entertainment, the city itself,

and the planned program. The
program included a guided tour
of Lincoln Center, a seminar
with a production show
manager as to why shows fail, a
lyricist for Broadway musicals, a
walking tour of Greenwich
Village, a backstage tour of the
Helen Hayes Theater, and four
Broadway shows. "Ta I ley's
Folly," "Elephant Man," "Major
Barbara," and "Sweeney Todd"
were the shows viewed by the
group. Mr. Toth indicated that
there was ample free time to
take advantage of the free
entertainment and to ac-
comodate everyone's personal
whims concerning the city. The
theater department will con-
tinue to offer this venture to
interested Scott students on a
yearly basis. Perhaps, those who
suffered from overexposure to
the rays in Florida and who have
long since observed the
disintegration of their epidermal
layer of skin might want to con-
sider this option for "Spring
Break, 1981 ."

Freshmen Win Basketball

by Karen Ramsbottom

During Winter Quarter the
ASC gym came alive with
echoes of bouncing balls, run-
ning feet, and cheers of sup-
portive teammates. On Monday
nights, devoted participants of
intracollegiate basketball
met to determine which "ball
club" was number one by
process of double elimiantion.
The freshman class stole the
crown by defeating the senior
class in two exciting and breath
taking games. In both the semi -
finals (31 - 27) and the finals (34
- 22) the winner was not predic-
table until the last three
minutes, but the Boy Scouts
pulled through with a victory.

The overall results of the
tournament were the freshman
class (7-1), seniors (4 - 4), and
juniors (3 - 3).

The freshman class team,
coached by Amy Potts, was a
very consistent and organized
team who played well together.
Also, the freshman class offered
much support to their team. The
Globe Trotters had better watch
out! They may have the new
Harlem Agnes Scotties on their
hands. Jennifer Williams
offered excellent coaching skills
to the senior class, and Mildred
Pinnell coached the sophomore
class .

Jennifer Williams con-
tinuously "-wooshed " that
basketball, and she had the

basketball, and she had the
highest average score of
fourteen points per game. Nancy
Asman was the second highest
scorer with nine points per
game. Other players who were
high scorers throughout were
Cindy Dantzler, Mary Ebinger,
Linda Wimberly,. Meg Miller,
Mildred Pinnell, Becky Moorer,
Mary Lee Taylor and Nancy
Blake. Good Hustling girls!

Miss Messick, who organized
as well as refereed the
tournaments, felt that the
tournament had "a good turn-
out for the most part." The
freshman class especially
showed true support and
participation in the tournament.

Theatre of the Stars bri ngs
"The Babes in Toyland"

Ca n nursery rhyme characters
and giant toys really come
alive?? This question asked by
generation after generation of
children will be answered once
and for all when the characters
of Victor Herbert's classic
Toyland join forces with THE
BABES , America's newest sw-
inging, singing sensation, this
modern for - all - ages 'THE
BABES IN TOYLAND" musical
extravanganza will be presented
by Theatre of the Stars at the
Atlanta Civic Center for 8
performances starting April 9th
through April 13th.

The skill and incomparable
imaginative talents of Sid and
Marty Krofft, the team of
brothers who created such
bigger-than-lifesize characters
as "H.R. Puf'N'Stuf", combines'
with the theatrical expertise of,
New York's Fran and Barry
Weissler, producers of the show.
Their collective know-how and
creative resources combine to
form an updated, irresistable
version of this nostalgic musical
from the great Victor Herbert.

THE BABES, three unem-
ployed but talented singers,
downcast, but determined to
find fame and fortune, invite the
audience to join in their travels.
TOYLAND, INC., a run-down
amusement park, THE BABES
join wholeheartedly with the
fantasy characters only to find
that strange and evil forces are
at work. Because of this,
Grandfather, the master
toymaker, is forced to consider
closing shop and even Mr.
Herbert's great songdreams
temporarily fade away.

Mary, the once-happy
Toymaker's granddaughter, now
as unemployed as THE BABES
joins their trio and TOYLAND
rocks to a new song, "Step Out
in Front", a Sheldon Markham
composition already finding it's
way into several Las Vegas acts
this season. Later, when Mary is
officially made a BABE, she and
Tom, the lead BABE sing the
haunting, 'The Two of Us",
another Markham song with
lyrics by Annette Leisten. (Ms.
Leinsten has re-written the

lyrics to almost all of the Herbert
melodies rather in the way one
restores a fine antique.)

THE BABES take the
audience deep into the heart of
TOYLAND to solve the mystery
of its many secrets. THE
BABES: Tom, Sugar Bear, and
Horace, whom rock audiences
have nicknamed "Slick", play
the Hardy Boys to Mary's Nancy
Drew with surprising results.

The magic of the production is
in the blend of the creative
genius of the producers, along
with their friends Sid and Marty
Krofft, combined with the
musical creations of one of the
world's most noted composers.
When the satanic horror -
transformations the evil
Barnaby has created cry for help
from their prison in the boarded
up Tunnel of Love, the "baaing"
of lost lambs tips off THE
BABES to the secret hide-out.

BABES IN TOYLAND opens
April 9th. All performances are
held at the Atlanta Civic Center
located at Forrest & Piedmont
Avenue.

Graduate Describes Experiences

alongside them, etc. Since
Aviemare is covered with snow,
now and surrounded by moun-
tains, it's all especially beautiful
for going on walks. Plus,
Aviemare Center is a ski-resort,
which means full-time skiing on
my days off.

Then, of course, there are the
accents. Although most of the
staff, here in the hotel are Scots,
there are also a list of Aus-
tralians, New Zealanders,
English, and one Phillipmo (sp?)
which makes for a lot of con-
fusion (for me, at least) in the
different words, phrases, and
different meanings for the same
words. I've gotten myself in a lot
of trouble because of that. When
someone asked me a question

Continued from page 3

about my wearing "knickers." I
naturally said "Knickers? No, I
don't have any knickers. The last
time I had a pair was fourteen
years ago." Knickers to me, are
those trousers that come up to
just below the knee. To the
Scouts and English, they're
underwear. So, now, I have the
reputation as "that American
lassie who goes knicker-less." . .

Come spring, I hope to buy a
bike and cycle around the UK
and possibly back to Ireland.
After that, maybe I'll have more
interesting, "cultural" things to
talk about.

Ireland was wonderful
(another subject I could goon for
months about . . . ) The country is

a true contradiction in itself,
what with the tremendous
Catholic influence vs. the
equally big influence of the
Guiness and the pubs, the fairly
modern industrial estates in
Dublin vs. the stonepiled walls
and horse-drawn ploughs on the
farms in the country, etc. Tho I
could never live there (the stan-
dard of living is just too different
from what I'm used to. I've been
too spoiled) I could easily
seclude myself in Ireland a few
months out of each year . . .

I've talked your ear off enough
. . . Please say hello to everyone
for me at ASC (tho I don't exactly
miss the place, I do get fairly
"homesick" for the people
there).

The Profile Really A Reflection

"What would you say if I told
you that The Profile will not be
published next year? I suspect
some of you might ask why, but
as many more might merely
yawn. Well, why do we keep
publishing the paper? We spend
thousands of dollars, have little
participation outside of the
permanent staff, and the editors
spend anywhere from 3-6 hours
on Monday nights trying to track
down their friends to help us out

Dear Editor:

In recent months a number of
the Agnes Scott Community
were fortunate enough to have
been befriended by former
Congressman (D-NY) Allard K.
Lowenstein. Those of us who
knew him, and those of us who
only knew of him need to pause
in the wake of his tragic and
senseless murder on March
14th to reded icate ourselves to
the cause of civil rights for which
he fought so long and hard.

Al's message was nowhere
presented more eloquently than
in a piece he wrote at the tenth
anniversary of an equally
senseless murder that of
Robert Kennedy in June 1968
His thoughts on Robert
Kennedy's death could be our
own on Lowenstem's death, so I
quote liberally from that essay.

of a pinch."

These were the first words of
an editorial by Sharon Maitland
in The Profile of May 24, 1 979.
Unfortunately, it is still an ap-
propriate statement.

The Profile, a poor paper by
any standa rds, is only as good (or
as bad) as its readership.
Granted, we could publish a
newspaper of what we consider
newsworthy and important, but
our job is to print what you care

When he was killed, so was
something generous and
electric in us and in the
nation, something not yet
reborn and possibly not to be
reborn in our lifetime. We
were left instead with a scar
too close to the heart and with
leaders whose bleakness was
to remind us continually ... of
what might have been.

As a politician, (Al
Lowenstein) was less than
heroic, and as a hero he was
uncomfortable and
uncertain. But by the end he
was blending in common
purpose not just the rich and
poor and black and white and
young and old . . . but
toughness and gentleness,
and the pragmatic and the
uplifting as well . . .

He wanted everyone to see
what seemed so obvious to
him: that if people couldn't be

about.

Certainly, we are in dire need
of reporters. But reporters only
take assignments, they do not
decide what is or is not news.

The Profile has two basic
problems, each with its own
cure. The first is a lack of
energetic reporters. What few
reporters there are generally re-
quest "easy" assignments. If
something is going on off cam-
pus, forget it virtually no one

roused to try to make a
difference in the effort to
"reclaim" their country, they
would make a difference
anyway by not trying.

Before and better than
anyone else, he understood
the realities of power in the
United States. Almost alone
he saw the nature of the las-
soes that were hobbling the
machinery of democracy, and
he set out to weaken the hob-
blers and strengthen the hob-
bled . . .

The mind wanders past
jaded words, there is not
radiance, nothing is clear-
cut. We have learned that
Camelot was not quite
Camelot, and that America is
neither as innocent nor as
easily changed as we once
thought. It has become sen-
sible to be cynical.

And anybody who finds
himself wishing on this oc-
casion that (Allard
Lowenstein) were still around
knows what (he) would be
saying if he were knows
that we have dallied long
enough, and that it is past
time to try again to do better,
to make a difference; past
time to dream again of things

will cover an off-campus event.
The cure for lazy, apathetic
reporters is sincere interest in
life and a willingness to spend a
couple of hours a week getting
invaluable experience (good for
those resumes).

The second problem is an
uninterested (uninteresting?)
student body. I frequently throw

away news releases on current
issues and the arts only because
they are the type of material

as they oughtto be, andtoask
again why they are not.

But anybody who thinks
about it knows that it is sen-
sible, too, to remember that
greater sophistication is net
the same thing as greate-
wisdom, that an immobilizing
cynicism is no cure for what
has gone wrong.

ignored by ASC students.

I am afraid to ask how many
students actually read The
Profile. Doesn't anyone care

that we have a paper we would
be ashamed for others to see?
Remember, The Profile is just
what its name implies a reflec-
tion of our school.

Pulitzer Prize Poet
Reads, Discusses Poetry

Howard Nemerov

Contest Attracts
Students

by Laurie McBrayer

The grand poet looking slightly
disheveled stepped up to test the
microphone. Then he said, "I'm
just going to read some verses.
The nice thing about that is if you
don't I ike one, there will soon be
another."

Howard Nemerov, an English
professor at Washington
University, and a well-known
poet, read from his collection
April 3 as part of the annual
Agnes Scott College Writer's
Festival. Mr. Nemerov has
written 10 books of poetry in-
cluding "Gnomes and Oc-
casions ", 'The Western Ap-
proaches-Poems 1973-1975,"
and "Collected Poems", three
novels and several short stories.
For several years he was the
poet in residence at Hollins
College; he has been a poetry
consultant to the Library of
Congress, and has taught at
several universities.

Mr. Nemerov explained that
when he was a slender young
man, he had 10 volumes of
poetry published; now that he is
"fat", he has one wide volume of
poetry. "I can't find my way
around in it, "he said, as he shuf-
fled through loose pages. At first
he seemed somewhat shy and

by Amy Mortensen

As part of Agnes Scott
College's Writers Festival, the
students were treated to the
reading of an unpublished short
story by Josephine Jacobsen
Friday, April 4. In 1973 Ms.
Jacobsen was named as an
Honorary Consultant in
American Letters at the Library
of Congress. She has written
five books of collected poems
and short stories and is also a
critic of American literature.

Her selection of a story en-
titled 'The Reflection" to read

nervous, but later he seemed to
enjoy himself. "I'll go on long
after everyone has left," he said.

Mr. Nemerov is a realist. He
describes the world as it is and
his wit a I lows h i s
readers/listeners to laugh at
life. He explained that people like
his poems, but literary critics
don't because "they think that
you're not supposed to be fun-
ny." His reading was
interspersed with anecdotes;
some were relevant, others
were not. He did make some
valid comments about
education. "Education is what
it's going to be for students; not
what it is now," he said. He
explained that one side of the
situation is that "You are going
to be very grand. " The other side
is "You are not very grand now. "
Referring to students in a clas-
sroom he said, "You have to
know what they (professors) are
saying, or you won't know what
they said."

He said, "My wife tells me my
wavelength is unique." Indeed it
is. Many of his poems are in the
form of riddles because, as he
said, "riddles are very close to
what poetry is about." One
example is the poem he read
about the arm on a phonograph.

tor the convocation was ap-
propriate because the story
concerned a writer and his con-
flicting reactions to a book
review of another writer. The
writer disagreed with the review
and wrote an angry letter to the
editor claiming that truth had
been suppressed. Then when he
heard a rumor that the same
critic planned to review this
forthcoming book favorably, he
retrieved his letter before it
became an embarrassment. The
writer was afraid he had sup-

Another example is the last line
of a poem titled "Walking the
Dog", "to show who's master, I
write the poem." Other poems
he read were "Gnomes," "To my
leastfavorite reviewer", ' On the
Soul," 'The Male Chauvinist
Mermaid", and "To a young
scholar required to read a
comedy". He concluded with
two very creative poems, "In-
somnia I and M". When he
finished his reading he said
"okay," waved his hand and
walked off stage.

Although audience response
differed, he did receive much ap-
plause. Mr. Nemerov did not
speak up clearly and he tended
to shock and/or amuse the
audience. Perhaps his presen-
tation was not appropriate for
the Agnes Scott audience; his
use of certain words offended
some. However, part of a liberal
arts education is being exposed
to different schools of thought
expressed by various profes-
sionals. Those who were not im-
pressed by Mr. Nemerov should
remember that he is a Pulitzer
prize winner. One exposure to
Nemerov's poetry is not enough.
Read some of his other poems
before forming a concrete
op in ion.

pressed the truth by taking back
the letter, so he re-cycled to the
post office again to mail his
letter.

Ms. Jacobsen introduced her
story by saying that when she
reads one of her stories that she
has never read to an audience
before, she learns so much
about it which includes hear-
ing unwelcome comments. Her
presentation was perhaps a sub-
tle lesson to the competing
writers at Writer's Festival about
the nature of truth in writing.

Each year Agnes Scot
recognizes professional writers
and student writers in an event
called the Agnes Scott College
Writer's Festival.

This year poet Howard
Nemerov and author Josephine
Jacobsen visited the campus
and read from their works.

Mr. Nemerov, a Pulitzer Prize
poet is currently an English
Professor at Washington
University. He has published 10
volumes of poetry in addition to
several essays, short stories and
nove Is.

Ms. Jacobsen is an Honorary
Consultant in American Letters

The Ramones Rock
At The Agora

by Lunar Lily

Friday and Saturday night the
Ramones (Joey, Dee Dee,
Johnny and Marky) hit Atlanta
again, the ir first time without be-
ing packaged as an opening act
for heavy-metal groups, and the
Ramone maniacs appeared in
full force. A capacity Agora
crowd covered the downstairs
floor SRO, rather impatiently
waiting (a few beer cans and
imaginary grenades were
hoisted towards the stage)while
Mouth To Mouth and a tacky
punk fashion show killed time. I
found it difficult to appreciate
the opening act, as I have no
respect for a band that plays a
rock version of "Ring My Bell,"
or a sniveling cover of the Who's
"Substitute." As for their
original music, Mouth To Mouth
crunches punk rhythms rather
well, but the "melodies" and
vocals are as strong as chicken
scratch.

As early as 12:15, the
Ramones unfurled their great
"Hey Ho, Let's Go!" banner and
took the stage to the sound of
martial drums. Joey Ramone
drawled, "Well, it's good to be
back in AtLANta," Dee Dee
counted, "Unn, oo ee, ugh," and
they were off! Non-stop,
overwhelming four-chord music
prevailed for the next hour and a
half. Nearly thirty songs were
showcased, including all their
greatest hits: "Blitzkrieg Bop",
"Rock and Roll High School",
"Cretin Hop", "Sheena Is A
Punk Rocker", "Teenage

Lobotomy", "Surfin' Bird",
"Beat On The Brat", "Rockaway
Beach", et. al.

From their latest Phil Spector
produced album, End Of The
Century, the Ramones played
the title song, "Do You
Remember Rock And Roll
Radio?", and the always relevant
"Chinese Rock." None of the
album's orchestration was
carried into the concert context;
however, two guitar solos and
one monotonic drum cadence
briefly appeared. The Ramones
mainly demonstrated their flair
for energetic riffs and pogo
bouncing; meanwhile Dee Dee
performed several excellent
herkey (a/k/a 'cheerleader
split') jumps and flung sweat all
the way to the sixth row.

The audience on the floor
pogoed continuously through
the set and two encores, joining
the "Gabba Gabba Hey" chorus
of "I Don't Wanna Be A Pinhead
No More" and some linked arms
to bounce together during
"We're A Happy Family." It was
downright decent to hear some
basic, unpretentious rock and
roll played from the heart of the
best Beach Boys - Berry - Kinks -
Stones traditions overlaid with
the Seventies self - concern,
franticness and drug - culture in-
fluences. As Mick Jones of the
Clash recently declared, "People
prefer to dance than to fight
wars," and the crowd at the
Agora Friday night would
probably agree.

Larsen'sSide:

"Daughter" Impresses

by Laramie Larsen

If you were born in Butcher
Holler, Kentucky fifty years
ago you are probably still
there, working in the coal
mines in order to feed your six
children That is certainly the
case with most of the small
population of this mining
town in the hills, but there is
one notable exception
Loretta Lynn was born there.
As we all know, she gotoutof
there in a big way. Coal
Miner's Daughter is the
movie that tells how she did
it, and it does so in a most en-
joyable way

The movie is based on
Loretta's autobiography
wh ich she wrote with George
Vecsey. The screen play for
the film was written by Tom
Rickman and was directed by
Michael Apted The result is
pure entertainment. Loretta
Lynn is likeable and so is her

story of rags to riches. The
charm of this movie lies in the
fact that it is totally unas-
suming. There is no profound
truth revealed here. If there is
a message at all it must be
that people tend to take
themselves and their life
stories a bit too seriously.
Beyond that there is nothing
more to look for as far as
theme Just sit back and en-
joy the show.

That is not to say that this is
a boring movie A happy en-
ding need not imply a min-
dless plot After a lot of
troubles, though, Loretta
seems to come out all right in
the end. Sissy Spacek as
Loretta is excellent. She
sounds and moves surpriz-
ingly like the Queen of Coun-
try Music. Her performance is
confident and convincing

MGB - Pure Power Pop

by Diane Rolfe

These days when so many
local bands are trying to make it
big by cashing in on the New
Wave trend, it is refreshing to
hear the Michael Guthrie Band.
Formed in Germany in 1 964, the
band has its roots in early 60 s
British music. They play basic
power pop with a complete
purity of style.

The group is headed by
Michael Guthrie, lead guitarist
and vocalist. His exciting elec-
trical guitar work and use of the
1 2-string and guitar synthesizer
punctuate the tunes and provide
the musical focal point for the
band, both on records and in live
performance. The drummer is
Mike's brother Herb, co-founder
of the band. Completing the trio
is bassist and vocalist Ritchie
McNally, who joined the band in
1973.

One can appreciate the
Michael Guthrie Band for more
than just their good looks and
great music. The three members
are a complete cooperative.
Mike Guthrie writes most of the
group's songs, Herb does all the
art work involved in promotions,
and Ritchie, in addition to
engineering and producing all
their records, manages the
band's business deals. They
have an independent record
label and publishing company;
all records were recorded in
their own studio.

The Michael Guthrie Band is
not at all superficial. They try to

be like the bands that inspired
them: The Kinks, The Beatles,
The Who, and the Yardbirds.
They strive to always play their
best, satisfying themselves first,
rather than a current trend.
Their music has a definite sim-
plistic style; there are no frills
whatsoever.

The group exhibits its en-
thusiasm for its music in live
performance. Anyone who saw
MGB at the Agora Ballroom on
April 3 or at Piedmont Park April
6 was caught up by the energy of
the show. The members
generate so much happiness
when playing. It is obvious that
they are enjoying themselves as
much as the audience. In ad-
dition to being a highly talented
guitarist, Mike Guthrie is
entertaining to watch. He even
leaps into the air in true Pete
Townsend style. Herb Guthrie
can't go unnoticed as his
goreous smile flashes out from
behind his powerful drumming.
Ritchie McNally harmonizes
with Mike in a clear, perfectly
pitched voice that would make
Paul McCartney jealous.

Their latest record, "Back on
the Street/Everybody Rocks" on
EAR records can be bought at
area record stores. Both songs
were written by Mike Guthrie.
"Back on the Street" is a straight
rocker, featuring both vocalists.
"Everybody Rocks is a roc-
kabilly type; it always draws
crowds on the dance floor.
Watch for their new album, due

in September 1980.

The Mike Guthrie Band may
be limited having only the 3-
piece bare essentials (there have
been 4 members at times), but
each musician agrees that 3
members allows for the greatest
amount of unity. No one is
highlighted or covered up. What
you see on stage is three forces
working toward one sound.
There is no punk rock pessimism
in their sound; their music is all
positively oriented.

They have been seen in
concert with YES, Kenny
Loggins, Steve Forbert, John
Cougar, Spirit, the Ramones and
other recording acts. Their
Southern following extends
from Alabama to Washington,
DC, and they are making strong
impressions on audiences in
New York City.

Those of you who have not
seen the Michael Guthrie Band
perform can't afford to miss your
next opportunity. They would
enjoy playing for an ASC
audience. It's about time we had
some real music at Scott ac-
tivities, and I don't mean beach
music or disco. So when you
hear about the Mike Guthrie
Band, pay close attention, you
won't be disappointed. They are
all talented musicians who
believe in the music they play
and have the ability to generate
their enthusiasm to their
listeners.

Leigh And Lee Star In "Ship of Fools"

"Ship of Fools," the 1965
movie based on Katherine Anne
Porter s popular novel, will be
shown April 1 5 and 1 6 at 7 p.m.

cludes Vivien Leigh as a divorcee
in her final screen performance,
Lee Marvin as an obnoxious ex-
baseball player, Simone
Signoret as a countess addicted
to heavy drugs and Oskar
Werner as the ship's doctor.
Werner's performance won him

car Levant, for two showings,
April 20 and 22.

There is no better concert
venue in Atlanta than the Fox
Theater and maybe no better
southern band than the
Marshall Tucker Band. Naturally
when these two winners were
put together last weekend the
result was a good time. The
secret to Marshall Tucker's
concert success lies in the fact
that the band members ob-
viously love what they do. When
this band is performing on stage
the excitement and energy
spreads throughout the

audience. These musicians
seem to respond to audience
reaction, trying to make the
crowd happy. It works. It is
almost impossible to stay in a
seat when this band begins to
jam.

Although this band has been
around for a long time many of
their songs and albums are still
favorites and those old stan-
dards still seemed fresh Satur-
day night. The songs from the
new album Marshall Tucker 1 0
sounded just as good as the old
songs, even though they were

not as familiar. The band seems
to be confident of their success
during live dates as they saved
such favorites as "24 Hours at a
Time" and "Can't You See" for
the three encores demanded by
the enthusiastic crowd. It is
definitely a comment on the
band's success that they were
able to sell-out two shows at
high ticket prices during a period
when everyone is singing the
financial blues. The concert was
both professional and friendly.
The band was receptive to the
audience. The lighting was

For those who prefer the club

It was clear that the band takes

Dancers Perform Varied Selections

On April 24 and 25, Studio
Dance Theater presents "Dance
Kaleidoscope,'' a program of
classical, jazz and modern dance
movement in Gaines Auditorium
at 8:15 p.m. Admission Is free.

The dances choreographed
this year show a great variety of
styles. Patti Tucker's dance goes

back to the days of Fred Astaire
while other dances explore the
jazz movement. Lil Easterlin's
dance is a portrayal of a dance
rehearsal. Mrs. Darling, director
of Studio Dance Theater, also
has a new dance in this year's
concert. From Gail Ray's ballet to
Teresa Lass's modern, the
dances offer something for

everyone. Also, for those who
remember last year's concert,
Sarah Windham's "Faux Pas de
Trois" is returning for another
hilarious engagement.

Everyone is encouraged to
attend Studio Dance Theater's
Spring Concert and to see for
themselves the results of a
year's hard work.

"Motor Boat" Chosen

Agnes Scott College student Gail Ray of Atlanta will perform
with the Studio Dance Theatre of Agnes Scott College April 24
and 25 in the group's annual spring concert, "Dance Kaleidos-
cope." Gail is the daughter of Mrs. Betty W. Ray of Addison
Place NW, Atlanta.

by Ann Conner

As the selection committee for
Mortar Board struggled with
their decision, the junior class
deliberated a choice for "Motor
Boat." "Motor Boat," described
as the senior who will be missed
most by the junior class, has as
its candidates those seniors not
on Mortar Board. The "Motor
Boat" appears rarely ruffled by

the pressures of school work. In
contrast to the Mortar Board
members, the "Motor Boat"
never gets a migraine from
excessive studies.

The junior class selected Nan
Fabisinski, a senior from
Decatur, Alabama, the 1980
"Motor Boat." They proclaimed
her so in a brief ceremony at
noon on April 8 in the dining hall.
The class gathered in the dining

hall, sang several choruses of
"Row, Row, Row Your Boat",
and then placed the "Motor
Boat" symbol, an anchor and
chain, around Miss Fabisinski's
neck.

Miss Fabisinski, bikini-clad
and surrounded by cohorts on
the top of the hub during the
noon hour, commented on the
honor. "I really was thrilled,"
she said.

Dear Students,

During recent years, scholars
in Hispanic Studies have come
to the College from such places
as Duke, the Universtiy of
Virginia, Chapel Hill, and Colum-
bia. Each has commented
sincerely and explicity on his
delight with the students, with
the education offered them, and
with the ambiance. The last
visitor, from Yale, wrote: "My
stay at Agnes Scott was such a
pleasure that I sent you the
receipts for my expenses with
some reluctance: is it right to be
pa id for having such a wonderful
time? I enjoyed all of the interac-
tion with the students and
colleagues."

Just thought that I'd share a

Dear Editor,

Caught up in a product-
oriented society, educators too
often fail to emphasize the im-
portance of reason and thinking
in order to receive what they
think to be a correct answer.
Students become masters at
memorization and very often
lose the cognitive ability to think
creativity and independently.
Upon entering college, a student
should be prepared to be
stimulated, to think beyond
herself and what she has
learned. Old views should be
reviewed, considered and
challenged. It is up to the
educators to promote this
challenge by encouraging new,
creative thinking.

How many times have you
walked into a classroom and
listened to a lecture that
sounded identical to the material
you had read the evening
before? How many times have
you taken a test and performed
well because you just happened
to have memorized the right
things? If you have ever
experienced either, it is doubtful
that you contributed much to
society that day.

It is true that a student must
, want to learn and explore new
areas of thinking, but it is largely
up to the professors to give the
students confidence that their
thoughts are worthy of
exploration. They should not let
their ideas be so preconceived as
to disallow room for growth and
expansion. The students are the
great minds of tomorrow. Let us
develop them to their utmost
potential.

Iranian View Presented

by Val Hepburn

It has been approximately six
months since the United States
Embassy in Tehran, Iran was
seized by militant Iranian
students. This seizure has been
a focal point not only of U. S.
foreign policy but also, with the
upcoming election, of domestic
policy. Last February, 48
American citizens of varying
social and religious backgrounds
financed a trip to Iran because
they believed that a dialogue
between the Americans and the
Iranians could help solve the
present crisis there. Agnes Scott
was fortunate to have two of
these people, Clint Deveaux and
Leslie Withers, speak the night
of April 8. Mr. Deveaux is
currently practicing law. Ms.
Withers is the president of the
Georgia branch of Clergy and
Laity Concerns, a non-
denominational religious
organization whose emphasis is
on the hope for world peace.

Mr. Deveaux and Ms. Withers
present the Iranian side of the
story, a side not often heard.

They told of the people and the
pain they went through while
under the oppression of the
Shah. Ms. Withers spoke first,
using slides to present a more
realistic view of the Iranian. She
said, "The people were very
friendly, they certainly did not
wantto harm us in anyway. "All
they wanted to do was to get us
to understand why they wantthe
Shah sent back and why they
were angry at the American
government, not the American
people. She showed scenes of
cemeteries where students still
weep for the friends and family
they lost in the revolutionary
overthrow of the Shah a little
over a year ago. Approximately
60,000 unarmed "martyrs"
were killed by the Shah's army,
most of them college students.
Ms. Withers asked us to place
our selves in their position for a
moment and try to imagine the
impact the death of many of our
friends would have on our lives.
She said, "Certainly they are
paranoid about our government
They feel that since we brought

Kaleidoscope '80
Attracts Students

'The Weekend was an op-
portunity for the girls not only
to look over and to experience
college life, but to make new
friends as well," said Denise
McFall, Admission Counselor
and coordinator of Kaleidos-
cope '80.

OnApril 10and 1 1,60high
school applicants from 14
states and one country,
England, were visitors here at
Agnes Scott. Perhaps the
most exciting part of the ap-
plicants' visit was Thursday
afternoon's trip to the Omni.
It was the first trip on a
subway for many of the girls,
and it gave them a chance to
discover what Atlanta has to
offer. One applicant said,
"Agnes Scott is a lot different
than I expected. I knew it was
a small liberal arts college in a
metropolitan area, but I didn't
realize how many open doors

excitement of the city, while
still retaining an atmosphere
of seclusion."

The girls attended a picnic
Thursday evening. While
munching fried chicken, the
applicants were able to meet
each other and Agnes Scott
students. The Glee Club
concert was well attended
and enjoyed by all. It was
followed by a reception at

Bradley Observatory, which
gave the girls a chance to talk
personally with and askques-
tions of the admissions of-
ficers.

Friday morning, while the
applicants attended classes
and whispered to one
another, "Alan Alda is here -
Did you see him?", a panel
was held for approximately
50 parents. The panel dis-
cussion was with the parents
of Laura Newsome and Becky
Lowrey. Immediately follow-
ing this discussion, the
parents met informally with
the administration for lunch.

Friday afternoon, ap-
plicants and their parents
attended a slide presentation
of college life, followed by a
question and answer session
with President Perry, Dean
Gary, Judith Tindell, and
Dean Kirkland. Then the ap-
plicants were free to choose
either a campus tour, a visit to
the Career Planning Office, or
an interview with their in-
dividual Admissions
Counselor.

This concluded the ap-
plicants' visit. "Virtually all
the feedback has been
positive, from parents and ap-
plicants alike. All in all, it was
a really good weekend," said
Denise McFall.

the Shah back into power once
(in the 50's), we could bring him
back again."

Mr. Deveaux spoke of the
deception the Iranians feel that
the Americans have dealt them.
"We refused to admit that we
had espionage occuring at the
embassy when they caught us
red-handed," he pointed out. He
mentioned that if we could only
be fair and honest about our
dealings in Iran then the
Iranians would be much more
willing to trust us. As it stands
right now, why should they. We
have deceived them too many
times in the past. His main point
was that we should put the
"onus on them, by admitting our
dealings in Iran. The Iranian
people think that the espionage
in our embassy was intended for
them, when in truth," he said, "it
was probably intended for the
Soviets."

Iranians and the way they are
dealing with their grievances.
They emphasized understanding
on an international level. 'The
whole problem is based on

Clint Deveaux

misunderstandings on both
sides, ' said Mr. Deveaux. "If we
can straighten out our side by
righting our wrongs and explain-
ing our unexplained then the
burdenwillbe on them. They will
be completely in the wrong.
What's so wrong with admitting
we made a mistake. Mistakes
are human."

Deveaux and Withers were
extraordinary speakers, presen-

ting a view that seems neces-
sary for current and future
international survival: honesty
and understanding. "It takes a
big manto knowwhen he is right
but it takes an even bigger man
to admit his mistakes."
Americans have always con-
sidered themselves big. Isn't it
time to show how big we really
are?

Faculty Conducts Tabletalks

Faculty tabletalk is the name
given to a series of luncheon dis-
cussions that relate the Chris-
tian faith to issues of common
concern. The program was
initiated by Emmett Hearndon, a
member of the Atlanta Pres-
bytery Staff, who came to talk to
President Perry, Dr. Copple and
Mrs. Sheats in the fall. Mr.

Hearndon offered to help Agnes
Scott set up this program as he
had done at Ogelthorpe, Georgia
State and Emory Universities.

The first guest who spoke was
Dr. Benton Kline from Columbia
Seminary. He spoke on the
"New shape of Contemporary
Theology" and this interested
the group in Liberation
Theology. To follow up on this

topic, George Ogle from the Can-
dler School of Theology at Emory
came to speak. The group, which
consists of about 20 people, has
had five other speakers since
then.

Upcoming speakers include
Dr. David Young, who will speak
on April 29 and Dr. Richard Ray,
who will speak on May 15.

Lecturer Discusses Yeats

by W. Burlette Carter

On Monday night, April 7,
Agnes Scott College was treated
to a scholarly lecture by Dr.
Augustine Martin of the
National University of Ireland.
Both educator and politician, Dr.
Martin is director of the Yeats
International Summer School at
Sligo, Ireland and a senator of
the Irish state. Dr. Martin, whose
appearance was sponsored by
the English Department of
Agnes Scott, called his speech
'The Myth of Revolution in the
Poetry of Yeats and His Contem-
poraries."

The visiting scholar dealt
primarily with howthe politics of
Ireland, the rising wave of
revolution and civil unrest, was
reflected in and, to some extent,
influenced by the poetry of
William Butler Yeats. He noted
that this "Myth of Revolution"
was best epitomized in Yeats'
poem "The Statues," in which
the poet mentions a range of

personalities who were
revolutionaries of the time.
Other works by Yeats, which
Martin mentioned as dealing
with similar themes included
'The Death of Cuchulain,"
"September, 1913," "Easter,
1916," and Yeat's play,
"Cathleen Ni Houlihan."

Martin told his audience that
the greatness of Yeats can be at-
tributed to the poet's "ability to
see violence in the world taking
place in history." He cited poems
such as "Meditation in Time of
Civil War" and 'The Second
Coming" in which Yeats
interprets history, and he noted
that such poems were strangely
prophetic in light of today's
crises. He suggested that Yeats'
greatest works were those in
which the poet recognized a fine
moment, a heroic gesture, but
also measured the act against its
consequences.

Martin called Yeats a

"dangerous poet" because of
the power of the "Myth of
Revolution" in the poet's works.
He notedthat, as an Irishman, he
felt this danger because his en-
tire life has been changed as a
result of the unrest in his coun-
try. Said Martin, 'The student of
literature must distinguish
between reality and myth. He*
must know how dangerous the
myth can become." Martin com-
pared the myth to a tiger saying
that we need the notion of its
beauty and power, of its "fearful
symmetry," but it must be kept in
a cage, under control, for if it is
ever let loose, the consequences
could be devastating.

It must be said that those who
missed Dr. Martin's lecture on
Monday also missed one of the
most scholarly lectures to be
delivered at Agnes Scott this
year.

Impressions

Four Seasons
Educates, Entertains

by Laurie McBrayer

On Friday, April 11 the Win-
ship Lobby and study parlors
became off-limits to Winship
residents, students were
directed on new routes to the
library and to Buttrick and the
campus had a new fall look.

These inconveniences and
surprises did not result from
building renovation, nor were
they imagined. Special facilities
were created to aid Alan Alda
and his crew who were on cam-
pus one day to shoot a fall scene
for his upcoming movie, Four
Seasons. In general, the faculty
and student body seemed recep-
tive to the idea of having a movie
filmed on campus despite the
fact that several classes were
interrupted and complete
cooperation was required by the
crew. Students and faculty did
have the opportunity to watch
the filming - an unusual
educational experience.

Lust, awe, 1 00% attention and
stares of disbelief were among
the reactions to Mr. Alda's
presence on campus. Carol
Burnett also received much
attention. Her hair was not as
red as some expected, but she
did uphold her reputation as
clown.

A weather forecast predicted
rain for Saturday so the movie
crew stayed only one day rather
than two as planned Therefore,
they were very rushed and busy;

they filmed for nearly nine
straight hours. Although it was
not possible for the Profile to
arrange an interview with Mr.
Alda, director, writer, and male
lead of the movie, it was possible
to get certain impressions of
him. He exhibited much
authority. He didn't lose his
temper and the co-stars and
crew cooperated with him. He
smiled at the observers and
carried out his policy of not giv-
ing autographs by saying, "I'd
like to shake your hand." He
smiled for photographs but
seemed to be in a hurry at all
times. One fan asked him if she
could take his picture. He said,
"Sure, if you can catch me while
I'm walking." Some viewers say
that he often displayed
"Hawkeye" gestures. Other
members of the cast include Rita
Moreno, Jack Weston, Bess
Armstrong, Len Cariou, and Mr.
Alda's daughters, Elisabeth and
Beatrice.

Three Agnes Scott students,
Melody Johnson, Marion Mayer
and Beth Shackleford served as
extras for the movie. Melody was
a "gopher" for the crew in the
morning and participated in the
soccer scene along with Marion
in the afternoon. Beth portrayed
the daughter of one of the
families visiting the college dur-
ing parents' weekend. Marion
said, "The best part of the

experience was working with
professional people and learning
the ins and outs of the movie in-
dustry." She added, "I was
pleased that Alan Alda and Carol
Burnett are as easygoing and
friendly as the characters they
often portray."

These three students learned
about their opportunities from
Sarah Hunter, a winter graduate
of ASC who got into the act by
serving as a production assistant
in location at Agnes Scott. The
students along with area
auditioners had interviewers
and pictures taken at the Talent
Shop agency.

Four Seasons concerns four
couples who have taken their
vacations together for 20 years.
To celebrate their 20th "an-
niversary" they decide to take a
short trip together each season
The film shot at Agnes Scott
concerns parents' weekend at
Connecticut College, a coed
school. Other locations for the
filming include New York,
Vermont, Charlottesville, Va ,
Decatur, Ga., North Georgia and
the Vilrgin Islands Planned
release of the movie is spring
1981.

Having a moviefilmed on cam-
pus was not a first for Agnes
Scott, but an assemblage of fall
foliage and dogwood and azalia
blossoms in April, probably was
a first.

Gentil-lnserni Undefeated

by Karen Rams bottom

Two vivacious freshmen, Kim
Gentil and Uisi Inserni, remain
undefeated in the A team
doubles matches. Kim and Uisi,
ranked #1 in doubles, work well
together. These girls are both
strong and consistent hitters
Their doubles game is aggres-
sive - they play a net attacking
game.

Kim Gentil, a freshman from

Marietta, Georgia, played tennis
throughout high school and
formerly played in the state
tournament quarter and semi-
finals. Kim is now undefeated in
the#Tsingles position. She is a
steady player and she utilizes a
good variety of shots. Kim uses
finesse to move her opponent
around the court

Another freshman from San
Juan, Puerto Rico, Uisi Inserni,

a strong hitter, is a quick aggres-
sive player. She covers the court
well, attacks her opponent, and
plays the net often. Uisi goes for
the winner. For a freshman in
the#1 position, Uisi has done an
outstanding job. Uisi plays
against older, more experienced
players. Yet, she has won half of
her matches, and is consistently
becoming a stronger and more
confident.

attendance by invitation only,
compete for the coveted Green
Jacket.

How Far Should I Run?

Beginning runners need to
know what quantity and inten-
sity of exercise is required to
achieve and maintain cardiovas-
cular fitness. The American
College of Sports Medicine
recently released a position
statement which presents
guidelines for the prescription of
endurance training activities
such as cycling, swimming, and
running Their statement was
entitled, The Recommended
Quantity and Quality of Exercise
for Developing and Maintaining
Fitness in Healthy Adults." The
guidelines are summarized
below and translated into terms
and concepts specific to run-
ning:

WANTED: bports
Reporters

Get exercise while
participating in
extracurricular activities.
Let's all get involved.

*HOW OFTEN? A frequency
of three to five days per week is
recommended. Two days or less
is not sufficient to improve and
maintain cardiovascular fitness.

# HOW FAST? The best way to
decide how fast you should be
running is to determine the
relationship between speed and
pulse rate for your body and run
at a speed which required 60%of
your "maximum rate reserve."

First, measure your resting
pulse (RPR) and then estimate
what your maximum heart rate
(MHR) should be by subtracting
your age from 220 The
difference between these two

values (MHR-RPH) is your heart
rate reserve (HR). Multiplying
0.6 times the HR reserve and ad-
ding it to the resting pulse rate
gives you what they call your
"target heart rate" of the heart

rate you need to maintain while
running to achieve and maintain
an adequate amount of
cardiovascular fitness.

In general the poorer your
state of conditioning, the slower
the speed at which you achieve
your target heart rate.

HOW FAR? The ACSM
recommends exercising con-
tinuously for 1 5 to 60 minutes
The duration you select depends
on the speed of the run. Low
intensity, long duration runs are
recommended because of
greater risk of injury with high
intensity work.

Therefore, in order to achieve
and maintain an adequate level
of cardiovascular fitness, we
need to run at a speed which
uses 60% of our maximum heart
rate reserve - which is about 1 30
to 135 beats per minute for
college students.

surrounded by spring flowers,
lakes, creeks, and sand traps can
handicap even the best.

The champion of the 1980
Masters proved to be Severiano
Ballasteros who led throughout
the tournament. This dashing
Spainiard is the youngest
Master's champion at 23 and
only the second foreigner to win.
His youth, however, proved to be
no handicap in his ability to gain
a string of eagles and birdies,

keeping his competition at a safe
distance. With a final score of 1 2
under par, Ballasteros gained
his first Green Jacket, though
I'm sure this determined young
man will add others throughout
his career.

From the morning brunchesto
the cocktail parties, Masters
weekend is quite an experience!
And, yes, if one looks, there is an
abundance of extraordinary golf
to be seenl

Making Tracks

In order to get into that "new string bikini" many ASC
students as well as faculty have found that running is the
solution. Mr. Bob Leslie has organized set times every
afternoon , 1 30 and 4:30, when students can meet at the gym
and run together. Also, he has charted various running
courses which are one, three, and four miles long so runners
can choose howfar to run according to their individual fitness
Faculty and students are encouraged to join these runners!!!

Softball Scoop

When lying out in the sun gets
boring, come to where the action
is! Sponsored by A. A , softball
competition between dorms has
begun. Each dorm has a team
and will compete against each of
the other dorm teams Games
are held at 5:00 on the hockey
field; schedules are posted in
each dorm Two All-Star teams,
consisting of members from
each dorm, will be picked after
the regular schedule has been

completed. The All-Star teams
will have practice games with
the faculty and then play at the
A. A. picnic on May 14.

In games played last week,
Winship, with a team effort, beat
Main 6-0. Walters defeated
Rebekah with a great comeback
in the last inning.

So come on out, support your
dorm, and have a great time
playing softball.

Student Awarded Truman Scholarship

by Kathy Nelson

The Harry S. Truman
Scholarship is awarded to
students who have
demonstrated considerable
interest in public service. There
are scholarships awarded to
students from each of the 50
states, plus Guam and Puerto
Rico. The amount of the
scholarship depends on the cost
of the school the student
attends. Up to $5,000 per year is

given to pay for 4 years of school;
thus it can be used for graduate
school.

Approximately 10 students
were selected from ASC in
November. They were
nominated by different faculty
members from the various
departments. Dean Gary then
narrowed the group down to two
students through interviewing.
Burlette Carter, a sophomore
was one of the two.

Burlette had to fill out various
forms which asked for
recommendations, awards and
honors, and two essays. One es-
say was about some area of
public policy and the other was
about government policy.
Burlette wrote an essay entitled
"A New Goal for American
Education." It addressed the is-
sue of the need of secondary
schools to confront the problem
of apathy and lack of interest in

governmental affairs.

After completing her ap-
plication, Burlette had a
suspenseful wait to see if she
had made the semi-finals. In
January the good news finally
arrived. Burlette, one of South
Carolina's representatives was
then interviewed by the
Regional Review Panel along
with other semi-finalists from
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and
Puerto Rico. The panel asked

Pari eta Is Reviewed

by Marcia Whetsel

The existing parietal policy
and the suggestions that have
been made to extend parietal
hours were discussed by Rep.
Council on April 1 5. The present
parietal policy allows men in the
dorm rooms between 1:00 and
5:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sun-
days. At Rep. Council, the
suggestion was made that if the
hours were extended the policy
should include Fridays. There

was no discussion on the pos-
sibility of extending the hours on
Saturday and Sunday. Rep
Council voted to leave the policy
as it is for the remainder of spr-
ing quarter and review the policy
again in the fall. Some members
voiced the opinion that since
Interdormitory Council would be
considering the extension of
lobby hours for next year, Rep
Council would need to know
their decision before changing
the parietal policy.

"m

questions concerning why she
had chosen ASC, her political
activities and current events.
Burlette said, "My involvement
in the Kennedy campaign
interested them. They were all
Carter supporters. They let me
do most ofthetalking. They were
very nice and informal, I felt very
comfortable."

Three long months followed
the interview. Finally on Mon-
day, April 1 4, Burlette received a
call from Dean Gary. "You got it"
was all that was said. Being that
Burlette had just awakened from
a deep sleep it took awhile for
the exciting news to register.
After five minutes of sitting in
the hall staring into mid-air,
Burlette finally smiled en-
thusiastically and screamed in a
mild manner. To say the least
she was qu ite happy and so were
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie
David Carter.

Burlette will be traveling with
her mother to Independence,
Missouri, on May 3 to accept the
scholarship.

She admits she couldn't have
done it without the help of many
people. "ASC faculty and staff
were a tremendous help!"

Two people dropped off articles

that these meetings are open

should well know by now.

In case it isn't obvious, it is
virtually impossible to produce a

Lee's Lines

I realize that since Mary Beth
has written many editorials on
the subject, I may be beating a
dead horse, but it is a change
from beating my head against
the wall.

First of all. there will be no
copy of THE PROFILE in your
box next week. That is because
no one bothered to attend the
meeting, and therefore, were
not assigned stories. Where are
all those people who have
congratulated me and told me
how they would be more than
happy to help me anytime? If you
would really like to help,
meetings are at 6:30 on Monday
nights. Be there.

Next, I am aware that THE
PROFILE is not always up on
current events and campus
happenings. There is a solution
to the problem. We are quite

willing to publish any news
concerning the various campus
organizations, they just have to
let us knowthe newsl Notices, or
any articles aspiring reporters
simply become inclined to write,
must be in my box (363) or THE
PROFILE'S box (764) no later
than noon the Monday BEFORE
the publishing date. (We have to
send the paper off to a publisher
since we cannot afford to do it
ourselves, so it takes a week to
get it all done.)

Finally, there are many things
I would like to see improved in
THE PROFILE. However, I can-
not do so with out your help. I am
no longer too proud to beg.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEI
There will be a meeting tonight,
the 28th, in order to assign
articles for the paper in two
weeks SEE YOU THERE!

To the editor:

Susan Skinner-Thomas was
the new face on campus this
quarter and I think she deserves
some recognition and a warm
thanks. Susan taught our 9:30
a.m. tennis class while Ms.
McKemie was recouperating,
and was anything but a
substitute teacher. Class was a
good workout and lots of fun,
too. She was encouraging to all
of us, no matter what level of
tennis we played.

We appreciated all your help,
Susan, and hope to see you back
on campus again soonl

Alice Harra

P S. We're very glad that Ms.
McKemie is felling better and
back with us now, tool

Agnes Scott Graduate To Teach Phi losophy

Mr. David Behan will be on a
sabbatical leave during the fall
quarter of 1 980. His
replacement will be Elizabeth F.
Potter, a visiting assistant
professor from the department
of philosophy, Hamilton College,
Clinton, New York. Ms. Potter
graduated from Agnes Scott in
1 969 and received the M A. and
Ph.D degrees from Rice
University. Since completing her
doctoral work, she has taught at
the Unviersity of Nebraska and
Kirkland College. Her present
position at Hamilton is due, in
part, to the subsumption of
Kirkland by Hamilton College in

1978. She has published an
article on Kant's theory of
knowledge, entitled "Synthesis
and Consciousness," in Rice
University Studies. She has
presented papers to various
groups; most recently her
interests have turned to moral
issues and feminism.

Ms. Potter has been invited to
teach a course in the philosophy
of science (Philosophy 250) as
well as a course entitled
"Philosophy and Feminism."
(Philosophy 150) Of these
courses, she says, "In all its
facets, the relation between
philosophy and science has

probably been the most fruitful
for both philosophy and
sciences; in fact, that relation is
the background for all the
explosions and revolutions in
science. Explosions and
revolutions of a different sort oc-
cur in those areas broadly
referred to as 'women's issues':
sexual equality, preferential
hiring, sexist language,
abortion, and so on. These is-
sues affect every woman in
today's society. They merit
careful thought, therefore, and I
look forward to an examination
of them with the women at
Agnes Scott."

Ms. Potter will also offer a
joint course with Mr. Richard D.
Parry. Together they plan to offer
Medieval Philosophy
(Philosophy 302), a five hour
course covering the early middle
ages and ending with the
thought of William of Ockham.
Both Ms. Potter and Mr. Parry
look forward to blending their
different approaches and
interests in this area of
philosophy.

About the role of womens'
colleges, Ms. Potter says, "The
Hamilton takeover of Kirkland,
which had been a womens'

college, gave many of us pause
for reflection. The time when
women are struggling to change
some of their social roles is
precisely the wrong time to lose
womens' colleges. It's the right
time to have strong womens'
colleges such as Agnes Scott.
The evidence seems to me clear:
educational institutions iwth a
critical mass of women, most
notable womens' colleges, are
twice as likely to produce young
women who take on challenging
roles in society. That's why I am
delighted to join the effort at
Agnes Scott."

New Major Initiated

Exchange Program Developed
With Mills College In California

Starting in the fall of 1980, a
new academic experience will
be available to Agnes Scott
students. A program of student
exchange has been developed
with Mills College in Oakland,
California. This will make it pos-
sible for Agnes Scott students to
live and study in the
metropolitan San Francisco area
for periods up to one academic
year. Regular Agnes Scott fees
would be payed. The only ad-
ditional costs would be for
transportation and such in-
cidental expenses as books and
lab fees. Students participating
in the program remain enrolled
in their home college and tuition,
room and board, and fee
payments are made to the home
college.

Mills, a small, cosmopolitan,
liberal arts college for women,

chartered in 1 885. Enrollment is
about 850 undergraduate
women and 150 men and
women in graduate programs.
The student - faculty ratio is 1 2-
1 . The campus is within the city
of Oakland and is described as
being "set among hills and tall
stands of redwood, eucalyptus
and pine, but only 20 to 30
minutes from the downtown
centers of both Oakland and San
Francisco." The educational
philosophy at Mills is very
similar to that of Agnes Scott
and courses are offered over
roughly the same range of
academic disciplines. A copy of
the Mills College Bulletin is
available in the registrar's office.

If you would like to have more
information about the Mills
College Exchange, you should
see Dean Gary for more detailed

information about such things
as eligibility, application
deadlines, etc. The next step
would be to confer with your
faculty advisor for further
guidance and help in course
selection. Finally, your ap-
plication to participate in the
program would be submitted to
the faculty committee on
academic standards which has
jurisdiction over special
academic programs. If you have
any thoughts about going to
Mills in the fall of 1980, you
should begin this process at
once.

It is hoped that the exchange
agreement with Mills College
will be just the beginning of a
broader and more com-
prehensive set of exchange pos-
sibilities with other compatible
colleges in various parts of the
country.

by Val Hepburn

In light of recent political
success and failures with
relations among foreign coun-
tries, many have focused atten-
tion on the international scene.
Beginning next year, Agnes
Scott will give its students an op-
portunity to take an in depth
examination of these successes
and failures by offering an
International Relations Major.
Mr. Haworth is the coordinator
of the major which will be "an
integrated study of contem-
porary political and economic
relations among nations." The
three advisors for the studies
will be Mrs. Campbell, Mr.
Cochran and Mr. Weber. Com-
pletion of the major will require
65 hours of upper level course
work, consisting of: 1 5 hours in
language, 20 hours in world his-
tory, 20 hours in political or
Economic theory and 10 hours in
"American Emphasis" (a history
and political science course).

The courses "emphasize world
politics with complementary
studies in international
economics and modern history
to give an interdisciplinary ap-
proach to international
relations."

Mr. Haworth said he feels that
the major would be beneficial to
a student in practically any job
field or in graduate studies. He
emphasizes "attempts to
maximize not one's first job, but
one's future." This major would
be easy to maximize upon
because, Haworth said, "it is
adaptable to almost any
pursuit." An International
Relations Major will also in-
crease the opportunities
available in the Political Science
Department, which Haworth in-
dicated he believes is necessary
in a school of Scott's size.
Anyone interested in the
International Relations Major
which has "practically unlimited
possibilities," should see Mr.
Haworth.

New Latin American
Course To Be Offered

by Lane Edmondson

A new course will be offered
next year at Agnes Scott; "Latin
America: Past and Present." Mr.
McNeer will instruct the course.

The course is described as a
"multidisciplinary introduction
to the civilization, history,
politics, art and literary expres-
sion of Latin America." Various
lecturers from ASC as well as
some guest lecturers will be
featured, from such
departments as Anthropology,
Art, Economics, History and
Political Science.

After the course's in-
troduction, Mr. Tumblin will do a

series of lectures on pre-Colom-
bian civilizations, as well as
Latin-American culture.

Mr. McNeer will discuss Latin-
America's struggle for
independence from the perspec-
tive of 18th century America.

The next part of the course will
deal with modern Latin America,
mainly the political and
economic aspects of it.

Artistic and literary expres-
sion are to be the closing topics
of the course, with lectures on
art and architecture and other
lectures on 20th century
philosophy in Latin-America.

Quadrophenia

Dreams And Dead Ends

by A I M.
Quadrophenia is. ..(a) an ad-
vanced state of mental fragmen-
tation, (b) an album by the Who
released in 1 973, (c) a film slice
of the Mod culture in London,
1964

Answer: all of the above. The
movie Quadrophenia , which
had its Atlanta premier April 1 8,
revolves around Jimmy Cooper,
a member of the Mod cult that
existed around England in the
early sixties. The Mods were a
loosely bound aggregation of
dandies who wore sharp suits,
raced around on shiny motor
scooters, gulped amphetamines,
danced to Mod music - - the
Who, the Kinks and American
rhythm and soul - - and battled
with their rivals, the greasy -
leather - jacketed Rockers.
Fueled by a background of music
by the Who, Quadrophenia is
a non-nostalgic glimpse of the
frenetic pace and bottled up
frustration of a generation of
post WW II working - class kids
who fought the dead end
boredom of British 'caste' with
the pure rush of excitement.
Jimmy is played by Phil

Daniels, a Pete Townsed look
alike (except for his nose). Jim-
my's life is defined by fad-

dishness and following the
group he rides with, including
the ultimate in cool, the Ace
Face, an irresistable maniac as
portrayed by Sting (of the Police).
All the Mods in turn vie for atten-
tion; Jimmy wants his choice
'bird' Stephanie (Leslie Ash) to
notice him. During a three-day
weekend at Brighton beach
Jimmy dances on the speakers
in a ballroom, dives into the
crowd and is thrown out, but his
stunts have finally turned
Stephanie's head. Their
adolescent consumation of lust
is perhaps the most universal
aspect of the film, for both
participants are blind to each
other's expectations.

Jimmy's downturn begins
with his arrest at a battle of
Mods and Rockers on the
boardwalk. His parents throw
him out because of his "bloody
disgraceful animal conduct,"
and Stephanie ignores him. Her
brush-off comment that their
love and the excitement of the
Brighton weekend holiday was
all "just a giggle" shows her
hollowness but also is telling, for
as Jimmy's life crumbles from
disappointment, it reflects the
reality of their style.

Jazz Night
Will Swing

London Fog, a jazz vocal
ensemble, and the Modernaires,
a jazz band, will perform jazz
from the swing era Thursday,
May 1 , at Agnes Scott College at
8:15 p.m. in Pressor Hall. Spon-
sored by the Agnes Scott Music
Department, the concert is open
to the public, free of charge.

London Fog, eight Agnes Scott
student vocalists, will sing
ballads and jump tunes, in-
cluding 'Take the 'A' Train,"
"Crazy Rhythm," "April in Paris"
and "Georgia" The
Modernaires will perform the big
band music of Count Basie, Duke
Ellington and Glenn Miller

London Fog members include
two Atlanta area students.

Becky Lowrey and Dottie En-
slow, both of DeKalb County.
Students formed the group last
year with the assistance of Prof.
Ronald Byrnside, chairman of
the Agnes Scott music
department.

Among the Modernaires' 16
members is Agnes Scott art
professor Leland Staven, who
plays second trumpet. Perform-
ing at Agnes Scott in the band
will be four trumpeters, four
trombonists, four saxophone
players, a guitarist, a string bass
player, a pianist and a percus-
sionist. All the members, who
played jazz in high school or
college, now have full-time
careers ranging from medicine
to airline piloting.

Rockers at Brighton beach is his-
torical fact; Quadrophenia

director Franc Roddam manages
to capture the excitement of the
period rather well, lapsing into
sentimentality only when Jimmy
broods over his bleak future by
riding around in front of the
expansive English sea cliffs too
often. The rest of the scenes are
realistically captured as gritty
and rough as the Mods' wooing
class life, hemmed in by
overbearing parents and dic-
tatorial employers.

Unlike Jimmy who self - des-
tructs through the Mod
syndrome, the Who survived
long enough to write their
music. The best part of
Quadrophenia is the way the
music perfectly fits the action
and mood of each part. "My
Generation" is the anthem; the
Mods dance to it at a party with
all the spirit that SAE's dance to
"Louie, Louie" (which is also
heard during the ballroom
scene). "Can You See The Real
Me?" is Jimmy's theme, while
'The Kids Are Alright" defines
the Mods as a whole group.
Quadrophenia is more than
just a rock movie; it's a vivid
portrayal of dreams and dead
ends.

stars Montgomery Gift as an ex-
boxer who refuses to fight with
his fists, Frank Sinatra, who
rebels fiercely against army

regulations and Donna Reed as a

novel "From Here to Eternity,"
the film won Best Picture
awards from the Academy, New
York Film Critics and the Screen
Directors Guild.

Academy Theater
Presents "Richard III"

The talents of Frank Wittow
and Leonardo Shapiro will com-
bine in the Academy Theatre's
final production of the season,
RICHARD III. Frank Wittow, the
Artistic Director and founder of
the Academy, will play the title
role of King Richard. Atlanta
audiences will have a rare op-
portunity to see Wittow as an ac-
tor rather than a director for the
second time in five years.
Shapiro directed last season's
tremendously successful
TARTUFFE that broke all box of-
fice records at the Academy. The
play will open May 2 and run
through May 31 .

RICHARD III has been a
popular play with audiences and
performers since it was first
produced in the 16th century.
Shakespeare conjured a setting
of medieval darkness before the
dawn of the Jenaissance world

full of prophesies of doom,
ruthless ambition, chilling
retribution and a pageant of ac-
cusing ghosts. The play has been
viewed traditionally as centering
around the character of Richard
and his complete and total
villainy, but Shapiro feels that the
men and women surrounding
Richard are equally important as
they aid or hinder his plotting
and scheming. An important
theme of the play is how a dic-
tator rises to power and how he
enlists the support of those
around him regardless of how
evil and bloodthirsty his motives
are.

RICHARD III will open on
May 2 at the Academy Theatre,
581 Peachtree St.. Call 892-
0880 for reservations. Special
student group rates are
available. Teachers should call

CITYWIDE BY RAMONA DE SADE

Atlanta, a city known for its
cosmopolitan delights such as
big night clubs, expensive
stores, West Paces Ferry road,
and many restaurants, is rapidly
expanding. The urban area finds
itself in competition with the
suburban area in many ways,
and the suburban area seems to
be doing better. However, there
is one feature of downtown
Atlanta that cannot be
duplicated anywhere, and that is
The Varsity.

Billed by its owners as "the
World's Largest Drive-in," The
Varsity is an Atlanta tradition.
Tech students make up a large
percentage of its clientele, and
even those who claim to be sick
of the food at The Varsity usually
find themselves returning to

feast upon such delights as chili
dogs, onion rings, and ice
cream. The most important thing
to remember about Varsity food,
though is MODERATION. For
example, it is fine to eat maybe
two chili dogs, some onion rings,
a coke, and a fried apple pie, but
do not go back the next day for a
repeat performance, because
you will stop appreciating the
delicate and subtle flavors of
these culinary treats.

Most people who go to the
Varsity don't go just because of
the food - the atmosphere and
the variety of people is The
Varsity's most interesting
feature. The employees
themselves make up quite an
interesting group, a majority of
them being urbanites and

foreigners. Comedian Nipsey
Russell was once a carhop here.
The Varsity's customers are an
even more variegated bunch,
from the after - football crowds
to the tourist family from
Snellville, to the drunken
conventioneers, to the owner of
that Rolls-Royce parked outside
If the people here bore you, you
can always retreat to one of the
T V. rooms and amuse yourself
Or you could go stand in front of
the big glass window and watch
the women cut up onions and
potatoes.

Don't pass up the Varsity -
even if you don 't want to eat the
food, the experience of just
hanging aroundthere forawhile
will give you a taste of Atlanta
and the "real world" you will not
forget

Determination The Key

There is one word which well
describes the Agnes Scott Ten-
nis team - determined. This
especially applies to three
players - Teace Markwalter,
Susan Kennedy, and Kathy
Fulton. These three beauties
have been especially devoted to
the tennis team and have
worked many hours to improve
their games. Let's give them a
round of applausel

Teace Markwalter, a sassy

sophomore from Huntsville,
Alabama, has consistently
played #2 singles. "She is a
retriever, she always goes for
the shots," bragged the coach,
Miss Messick. Teace is a base
line player, and she pulls off the
winners when the opponent
comes to the net.

"Determination" - is Teace's
motto - "she does not give up
easily," added Miss Messick.
"Playing #2 position is very

competative, it is a hard position.
Next year, she'll be even
stronger. She needs
experience," continued Miss
Messick. Teace defeated the #2
player for Georgia College twice,
and lost in the third set to Berry
College.

Susan Kennedy, a junior from
Newport News, Virginia,
competes at the #5 singles
position and the #3 doubles
position. Susan is a strong
doubles player who catches the

opponent with her potent
backhand. Miss Messick claims
Susan has "good form, she just
needs to work on consistency
and confidence in match play.
She will achieve this through
experience." Also, this shrewd
maneuver is successful with her
doubles partners, Meredith
Manning and Becky Moorer.
Miss Messick merits Susan as
"dependable in practice. She is
at all practices and con-
ditioning."

Fitness Experience

Fitness. In this era of narcis-
sism, it seems everyone is
concerned about physical
fitness. Physical fitness is how
you feel and how you look! You
can only experience physical
fitness when you are regularly
striving to teach and maintain
good overall health of all body
systems. This "Fitness
Experience" requires
ENERGETIC PHYSICAL AC-
TION to strengthen and tone the
body from inside-out.

Keeping up with this new
wave for body care Mrs. Darling
has put together a program to
have FUN while increasing
one's cardiovascular fitness
level. Mrs. Darling has based her
testing and training methods on
Dr. Kenneth Cooper's book The
New Aerobics, and in Jacki
Sorenson's book, A Fitness
Experience. This program is the
basis for the physical education
class, Aerobic Dancing.

First of all, what exactly is
Aerobic Dancing? Aerobic Dan-
cing is a physical fitness
program that offers complete
and effective conditioning It
tones and strengthens all body

muscle groups. It conditions
your heart, lungs, and blood
vessels by demanding that this
internal, life supporting system
be strengthened through
healthy use I Of most importance
this fitness program is fun and
challenging. It is a combination
of dancing for the fun of it, and
dancing for more energy every
dayl

Sounds good so far, but one
never knows exactly what one is
getting herself into when sign-
ing up for Aerobic Dancing, the
first day the entire class
participates in a Fitness Test
which acts as a personal in-
dicator of present fitness. Each
student participates in a twelve
minute walk-run. The student
keeps count of the number of
laps completed within the
twelve minute test. The number
of laps completed may be
corelated with the five
categories as chartered below:

Under 30 years
Less than 19 laps Category I
12-22 laps Category II

23-26 laps Category III

27-32 laps Category IV

More than 32 laps Category V

Over 30 years:

Less than 19 laps Category I

16-21 laps Category II

22-24 laps Category III

25-30 laps Category IV

More than 30 Category V

As a result of the Aerobics
class, one should move up to a
higher category.

This is where the fun beginsl
With the assistence of Agnes'
beloved "Nimble Nubs," Mrs.
Darling enthusiastically leads
the class in exercising, running,
and jumping to popular tunes
such as "Joy to the World" (and

Field Day At ASC

By Lynn Stonecypher

Agnes Scott's first annual
field day was a success for
everyone involved! We had to
combine the sister classes
though, to form the teams. The
sophomore - senior team won
the class particiaption award,
whilethe freshman - juniorteam
won in the field events.

The star of the pie - eating
contest was Kathy Stearns,
while Susan Mead came in a
close second. The rest of the

crowd who were daring enough
to attempt this venture had fun,
but boy what a mess they made!
Terry Michael and Cathy
Garrigues won the egg toss for
the Sophomore - Senior team.
The wheelbarrow race and the
old-clothes race were both won
by the Freshman - Junior team.
The highlight of the Field Day
was the volleyball game which
was won by the Sophomore -
Senior team. Thanks everyone
for coming out and supporting
your class.

Legislation Influences Honor Court Policies

by Marcia Whetsel

Honor Court held a con-
vocation on April 30 to discuss
the A.S.C. drinking policy for the
1980-81 school year. The
Georgia State Legislature has
raised the legal drinking age
from 18 to 19. The law will go
into effect in September. The
A.S.C. drinking policy presently
allows everyone over 1 8 to drink,
but when the law goes into
effect all students under 1 9 will
not be permitted to drink. This
will present a problem, since
most freshmen and a few
sophomores will be under 19.
The law will make alcohol an
illegal drug for everyone under

19. Students will be on their
honor not to drink if they are
under 1 9. Honor Court is present-
ly trying to set guidelines and
establish procedures for han-
dling violations. They have
proposed a set of penalties, but
no final decisions have been
made yet. The proposed penalty
consists of probation (A letter to
parents) for the first violation,
and suspension for an
unspecified number of quarters
for the second violation. Another
problem concerning violations is
the role of the upper classmen
who are 19 or older. If these
students buy the alcohol for the

under age students, or if they
see them drinking and fail to act
under the honor system's re-
quirements, they also will be
violating the honor code. Honor
Court is concerned not only with
TGIF parties, A.S.C. dances and
other functions, but about the
problem of off-campus drinking.

This is obviously going to be a
very touchy issue and Honor
Court held the discussion to get
some viewpoints and opinions
from the student body. Ha
Burdette, Honor Court president,
sa id that she wa nted everyone to
know that Honor Court is not
concerned with Tightness or

wrongness of drinking and that it
does not want to act as a police
force, but it asks that students
try to understand the problems it
will be facing with this new
drinking law.

Dean Kirkland spoke up and
said that, "trying to deal with
this law puts us in a bind." She
said that she does not want this
law to destroy our honor system.
She stressed that it will be up to
the older students to explain the
honor system to the freshmen
and to help them understand
that it is a way of life here. She
said that she felt it would have

more impact on the freshmen if
the upperclassmen talked to
them about the honor system.
That talking to them about a
violation might impress them
more than turning them in. She
urged everyone to use a lot of
common sense and help Honor
Court maintain and preserve our
honor" system as much as pos-
sible.

If you want to express your
opinion on the drinking law and
A.S.C. drinking policy, lla
Burdette or any of the Honor
Court members will be glad to
hear from you.

Chamber Players Perform Spring Concert

and piano and will also include
Georg Philipp Telemann's "-
Quartett in G Major" from the
"Tafelmusik" Book I for flute,
oboe, violin and basso continue
Francis Poulenc's "Trio" for
oboe, bassoon and piano and
Jean Francaix's "Quatour" for
flute, oboe, clarinet and bas-
soon.

Guest bassoonist for this
concert will be Dan Worley,
graduate of Juiiliard School of

1976, they have been in
residence in the music
department of Agnes Scott, a
women's liberal arts college.

During the 1979-80 season
the Atlanta Chamber Players
have been sponsored in part by a
grant from Chamber Music
America (CMA). CMA executive
director Ben Dunham was
quoted this season in The New
York Times as citing the Atlanta
Chamber Players as a group
which has achieved "unusual

success" under CMA's Paul
Foundation Residency Program.
Under this residency program
the ensemble has presented two
festivals at Colony Square, con-
ducted a series of open
rehearsals at Agnes Scott
College and had 10 concerts
broadcast on WABE-FM and
WRFG-FM radio stations.

For the 1980-81 season the
Atlanta Chamber Players have
been accepted to the Southern
Arts Federation Performing Arts

Focus On Women In Art

by Carol Goodman

This spring a new seminar
called "Women in Art" is giving
students a chance to learn about
the contemporary trends and
concepts displayed in art
produced by women. Under the
instruction of Ms. Terri
MoGeehee the students are
becoming more aware of the
types of work done by women

artists and the views,
statements and opinions the
artists express in this work. Ms.
McGeehee chose a group of
articles for the students to read
that deal with the ways that
women feel about their work,
the place that women hold in the
art world, and the ways to im-
prove this position. Through dis-
cussions of these articles, the

students think over issues that
pertain to them as women.
Along with the readings, Ms.
McGeehee planned several
excursions for the students.
They viewed a film documenting
an art tribute to women "The
Dinner Party" by Judy Chicago
shown April 18 and attended a
lecture by the noted American
painter, Joan Snyder. The group
plans to view an exhibition by
Atlanta Women's Art Collective,
visit studios of Atlanta, and
attend a slide lecture by Maria
Sawyer, a potter and graduate of
Agnes Scott. Most of the
students seem to be en-
thusiastic about the course and
thattheir ideas of consciousness
had been raised to a greater
understanding of women
through art.

CBS Unfair To Gays

by Connie Tuttle

Last Saturday night I had a few
friends over for dinner and later
we sat around and watched
television. At ten p.m. on WAGA
Channel 5 the local CBS affiliate
"CBS Reports" aired a show
called "Gay Power Gay Politics",
I was appalled.

I have never seen such a
biased news report with such
biased interviews and con-
clusion. The reporter repeatedly
put words into people's mouths
or suggested appropriate
answers to the interviewees.

Everything mentioned or
photographed was designed for
its shock value. Facts were
misrepresented. I don't see how
any audience could be less than
fearful of gays if they acquired all
their information about gays
from that program. (For, of
course, CBS is too respected a
network for anyone to entertain
doubts about their journalistic
professionalism.)

Another bias was the non-
representation of lesbians.
Perhaps in the area of gay
politics women have less power
than men (this would correlate
accurately to the position of
heterosexual women in the
political arena), but I doubt their
power is non-existent. Perhaps
it was not newsworthy because
it could not be sensationalized.

Homosexuality is a sensitive
subject, a potential powder keg.
It is difficult for many people to
discuss the issue rationally. Ob-
viously CBS could not. The rub
there, however, is that they have
the responsibility to recognize
their bias and either alleviate

it or not pursue the subject.
Homosexuality will remain a
source or unchecked
irrationality i'f such biased
programs are allowed to be aired
unchallenged.

I realize the subject is un-
popular. I requested to write this
review (it was unsolicited) not
without some soul searching. In
light of the personal experience I
had while watching that show, I
feel I must speak out.

One of those friends that came
to dinner Saturday was a man I
went to high school with in
1 969. We've been friends a long
time. He is gay. He is a
wonderful, warm person who
has stood me in good stead. He is
a staunch friend and a good one.
As we sat and watched the
show, I saw his horror and pain
at being (mis)represented as a
sado-masocist who liked public
sex. He was deeply humiliated
and angered.

He told me that he had "come
out" to his brother the week
before. Fortunately there had

been much love and acceptance,
though little understanding. He
had sent some literature and
they had begun some open
dialogue. My friend sat
alternately seething with rage
and dispairing. "If my brother
sees this, what will he think of
me?" I never want to sit with so
dear a friend and witness such
anguish ever again.

"CBS Reports: Gay Power,
Gay Politics" was produced at
the expense of many people's
good reputations and self-
esteem. It was born of fear and
discredits the professionalism of

the CBS reporting staff. It would
be easy to imagine a violent
backlash against gays because
of the fears stoked in the fires of

ignorance. (CBS showed how
easy gays are to hate.) It did
enough damage if only to one
person, it deeply hurt someone I
love and respect. I cannot be
silent.

burned down in Atlanta one
night after the report aired.

ASC Whites Unaware

To The Agnes Scott Community:
For all of you who did not
Attend the Students for Black
Awareness "Disco Party" at The
Vines apartment complex (May
3, 1 980), sorry folks; you missed
it! I went because I like to dance,
because I'm a member of the
Students for Black Awareness at
Agnes Scott College, and
because my good friend, Emily
Moore, President of S.B.A. was
worried that not many A. S C.
people would show up.

Well, Emily was justified in
her worry . . . only five white
"Scotties" showed up, and after
Mollie Merrick left, there were
only four. Pretty poor people,
pretty poorl Just because it was
sponsored by the Students for
Black Awareness does not mean
that WHITE people were
excluded. We're not prejudiced!
What do you think S.B.A. stands
for anyway? The Students for
Black Awareness is not for black
students, only. Blacks, most as-
suredly, are already aware of
themselves. It is the white

people who are apparently still
not being reached.

But anyway, after being there
for a short time I realized some
things: a) I am white, very; b)
blackness is not necessarily
limitedto skin color. Blacksdiffer
from white in culture, ideas,
dance, dress, etc . . . not by skin
color, alone. Not once did
anyone shag, and I'm sure
"beach music" never even
crossed anyone's mind. There
were no buttondowns, top-
siders, and horror of horrors, no
hot-pink and lime-green com-
bos. But strangest of strange,
nary an Izod was to be seen; c)
the two, blacks and whites, do
mix, integrate, blend, or
whatever you want to call it. It
can happen. The four white girls
were dancing with black guys
and nothing happened: no racial
jokes, no slurrs or riots. And to
tell the truth, it was fun.

The entire evening was fun,
interesting, but mostly FUN. It
was a great opportunity to meet
other students from Spelman

College, Morehouse College,
Clark College, Georgia Tech,
Southern Tech, DeKalb College,
The Interdenominational
Theological Seminary and
others. Now, what do I hope to
accomplish by writing this to
you? To solve all racial
problems? Hardly. Maybe I just
want to see how liberal we,
liberal arts educated young
women, really are! Are Agnes
Scott women friendly and open
or do they stay pretty much in
their own little cliques? Granted,
you probably did have mid-terms
to study for, papers to write, pre-
planned dates, etc but I, too,

have these things and work off-
campus twenty hours per week; I
have two papers due Tuesday,
translations to do, and an on-
campus job . . . but, oh well, you
missed it. Boyl did you miss it!
(For those who were there . . .
party over here! . . . party over
here!).

Just had to tell you,

Convocation On
Alcohol Policy

by I la Burdette

Honor Court and I were very
pleased with the response to our
April 30th convocation on Agnes
Scott's alcohol policy and the
effect of Georgia's new legal
drinking age. The sizeable atten-
dance showed the student
body's interest, as did your
comments and willingness to
participate. Thanks for coming!

Several points of discussion
that arose during convocation
bear restatement here. Keep in
mind that the program was just
that a discussion intended
the free expression of ideas and
opinions. The half-hour was a
time for us to talk about drinking
policy rules, not to definitely
decide them.

Discussion began with the
realization that adherence to
next year's alcohol policy
however 't is finally established
will be a matter of obeying the
Honor Code and thus merits
serious forethought. Because
next fall's freshmen may have
some difficulty in getting used to
this particular social regulation,
we agreed that the attitudes of
upperclassmen especially
sophomores will be crucial. The
new students will take their cue
from us; our example really
counts!

Much of the rest of the half-
hour disappeared in talking
about off campus violations.

What responsibility do
upperclassmen have for
freshmen at fraternity rushes?
Does Honor Court expect to as-
sign penalties for violations that
don't occur on A.S.C. grounds?
I'd like to repeat a few points.

1 . Remember that the Honor
Pledge we all signed is not just a
promise to follow a few rules
when Honor Court is looking. In
coming to Agnes Scott, each of
us agreed to "develop and
uphold high standards of
honesty and behavior; to strive
for full intellectual and moral
stature; to realize my academic
responsibility to the com-
munity ."Part of that responsibility
is to obey state law in this case,
the law forbidding alcohol to
those under 19. Notice that our
commitment to the Honor
System does not cease when
we leave campus, even though
Honor Court's jurisdiction may.

2. Dual responsibility does not
just mean giving a list of names
to Honor Court of people you saw
breaking this or that rule. Sure,
reporting violations is part of the
system sometimes, but we have
a sad system if that's all of it.
What dual responsibility always
means is caring enough
to notice that a fellow student is
having difficulty following rules,
caring enough to talk to her and
advise her to get help, caring
enough to come to the proper

organization and get help for her
when it is needed. An actively
concerned responsibility for
each other is the basis for our
Honor System.

Having said this much about
the Pledge and our respon-
sibility, the only real point
unresolved is whether or nor
students should bring every
violation of the drinking policy to
Honor Court, and how Honor
Court will deal with those that
occur off campus. The latter
question is one I can't answer.
As always, individual cases re-
quire individual thought and ac-
tion; it is impossible to state an
automatic policy. I think we do,
however, need to make clear
what sort of off campus
violations need be broughttothe
Board. As some of you pointed
out during convocation, an
argument can be made that an
offense is an offense, and there
is a certain merit in consistently
requiring all of them to be
reported, on the other hand,
there may be a danger of the
System trying to over-reach
itself by requiring too much. This
is the question we face now, and
which will be resolved soon.

Thank you all again for your
advice and opinions. Honor
Court is always looking for your
ideas, and we'll be glad to listen
further to opinions on the
drinking policy. We appreciate
your help!

Alum Has Much To Think About

by Ann Myre

Annie Wiley Preston, the
oldest living alumnus, age 101,
came to Agnes Scott Institute in
1895. She talked to me about
her experiences at Scott one
recent Saturday morning.

As we were introduced, Mrs.
Preston looked at me with her
bright brown eyes. I realized that
it would be difficult to keep up
with Mrs. Preston. She claims
that "I used to have a good
memory, "but she remembered
names, dates, and places faster
than I could write them down.

Mrs. Preston considered
attending a women's college in
Virginia, but then she heard
about a new school opening in

Decatur from one of her
mother's friends. Since that time
many of the women in Mrs.
Preston's family have attended
Agnes Scott. As she says,
"We've been Agnes Scotters
from a very early time."

While at Scott, Mrs. Preston
lived in Main, the only building
on campus. The students ate in
the basement of Main, since
they had no dining hall. She
remembered that a street car
used to run between Main and
the present dining hall, and that
the students could hear it
screech around the corners all
day.

After her graduation in 1899,
Mrs. Preston married, and

sionary husband. They worked
there as missionaries from 1 903
to 1 940.

I hesitated when asking Mrs.
Preston about the alcohol policy
on campus, but she came up

with a very astute reply. "I don't
like whiskey, I've never tried it,
but I know what happens to
people who do try it. I think with
all the trouble in the world today,
people need a clear head."
As I was leaving, Mrs. Preston

told me, 'There's one thing
about being over 1 00, there's so
many things to think about." I
only hope that if I live as long as
Mrs. Preston has, my life will
have been as fulfilling as hers.

April 29 in the lobby of Winship.
Her lecture was sponsored by
Phi Sigma Tau, an honorary
philosophy society.

Dr. Bell touched on some of
the issues and problems that
must be dealt with when con-
sidering philosophy and
feminism. She explained that
other disciplines (i.e., history,
art, music, etc) have by and
large ignored women;
philosophy, even in its earliest
times, had considered the topic
of women. However (that
inevitable however), feminist
thought has fared badly, and un-
til more recently been ignored.
Anti-feminist and out right
misogynist thought, on the other

hand, has been given a wider
scope and studied more
seriously.

Most of the instances of anti-
feminism and misogyny sighted
by Dr. Bell would (in my opinion)
be funny if it didn't hurt so much.
I give you, for example, Aris-
totle's view of women as
deformed males. Alas, he does
not stand alone in his sen-
timents. Dr. Bell also pointed out
that where often we assume the
generic use of "he" in
philosophical texts, we find that
in the extended works of many
major philosophers women are
treated as an altogether
separate subject.

Later in the evening, Dr. Bell
looked specifically at prevelant
ideas about love in western
culture. This topic interested
many of usthere, and a good dis-

cussion ensued. Some ques-
tions raised were: "Is love
mystical?" (Mystical, a
philosophical term loosely
defined as dominated by
illusion). "If so, can it be de-
mystified?", "What would that
encompass?" and, "If love
relationships are now based on
the idea of the polarity of roles,
how can those roles be
redefined?".

The evening was rewarding
and thought provoking. Many
women with whom I have
spoken, who attended the lec-
ture, were anxious to read
further on the subject.

Dr. Bell received her M.A. from
Northwestern and her Ph.D.
from Emory. She has worked on
an anthology of women in
philosophy which is currently
under contract with a publisher.

Addicted To Dregs

by Lunar Lily

The Dixie Dregs, perhaps the
South's most original musical
ensemble, opened their national
tour at the Agora Ballroom
Saturday, April 26 to a wildly en-
thusiastic and appreciative
crowd. Though the Dregs' name
conjures up a vision of a
southern boogie band with three
steel guitars, the Dregs are quite
different. They achieve
originality by bringing together
the best elements of jazz, rock,
bluegrass, classical and country
music with a little bit of blues
and reggae thrown in. The Dregs
have chosen to work without a
vocalist because, in the words of
Steve Morse, guitarist, "We're a
band that plays, none of us are
singers. If we had vocals, it
would be part of the music, not
something to put over the
music." The five weave together
songs that are in one instant
beautifully melodic, then jump to
funky country or rhythm -
interspersed jazz-rock. Instead
of being chaotic the blend of
musical styles is impressive and
enjoyable, if perhaps a bit more
cerebralthan regular Agora fare.

The main attraction of the
evening, besides this
performance being the first in
Atlanta since the Dregs' New
Year's Eve show, was the debut
of several songs from the Dregs'
newest album Dregs Of The
Earth. Though thetitles were in-
comprehensible (due to a half-
dead announcing microphone),
the new material sounded
characteristically capricious.
One song worked a blues riff
under jazz-style improvisations;
another (sorry, no title) con-
tained an airy melody off Allen
Sloan's electric violin and
surrounded it with f inger-pickin'
guitar work. Yes,. that's the way
these guys normally play.

In and among the debut songs,

the Dregs filled in with favorites
from their three previous
albums: "Cruise Control" (with
the token flashpot explosion);
"Refried Funky Chicken", "Gina
Lola Breakdown", "Country
House Shuffle" (mixtures of
bluegrass, jazz, funk and
inspiration); 'Take It Off The
Top", "Punk Sandwich", "Night
Of The Living Dregs" (energetic
jazzrock fusion); the delicate
"Leprechaun Promenade"; "The
Bash", which can best be ide :
.scribed as a country rave-up with
Steve Morse's guitar working
overtime to represent a banjo
and steel guitar; and the clas-
sically influenced "Ice Cakes"
and "What If". Now are we con-
fused?

Technically, the band was in
fine form; i.e., Andy West picked
thirty-second notes (when called
for in the music) off the bass
guitar with his usual aplomb.
Steve Morse used his guitars to
the fullest potential when he
played a solo that ranged from
Led Zepplin riffs to chiming
chords. Rod Morgenstein
orchestrated an entire rhythm
section from one seat, and T.
Lavitz (Dregs' new keyboardist)
showed his roots with his
jazz/boogie - woogie fills. Un-
fortunately, the violin amps
weren't balanced; Allen Sloan's
playing could only be heard
when the rest of the band was
quiet.

All night long the band was in
a damn exuberant mood; they
always appear to truly enjoy
performing. The Dixie Dregs
were called back for two ec-
nores: their favorite "Disco
Dregs" parody and an inde-
scribable electrified version of
"Dixie". As the house lights
came up, the audience went into
'Dregs' withdrawal, but gave the
band a rousing send off for their
upcoming tour.

Six Facets

Agnes Scott College actress
Carol Tviet will present the one-
woman show "Facets of the
American woman by Six Twen-
tieth - Century American
Playwrights" Wednesday, May
14 at Agnes Scott College.
Curtain is 8:15 p.m. in Winter
Theatre of the Dana Fine Arts
Building and admission is free.

An award-winning actress
and return - to - college student
at Agnes Scott, Mrs. Tviet will
present character studies of
women in famous plays. In her
performance the American
woman will be portrayed
variously as the manipulative
women employing female wiles
to get what she wants, the loyal
wife and mother totally devoted
to the American dream of
prosperity, the complex woman
who is both earth mother and

intellectual, the traditional
Southern woman awakening to
her sexuality and the modern
woman torn by the conflict
between traditional and modern
role expectations.

While at Agnes Scott, Mrs.
Tviet has been awarded the
Claude S. Bennett Trophy for
her role as Mother
Madden in "Ladyhouse Blues."
For this same role and for her
role as Hecuba in "Trojan
Women" she was nominated for
the Irene Ryan Scholarship for
Actresses awarded by the
American College Theatre Fes-
tival. She has also played the
fairy Godmother in the Agnes
Scott children's play
"Cinderella" and she directed
another children's play, "An-
nabelle Broom, The Unhappy
Witch."

Faithful's Comeback...

Broken English

by Johnny Thunder

If you saw Marianne Faithful
on Saturday Night Live, you may
have been a bit shocked. Clearly
this was not the demure
debutante of 1965. Instead she
was decked out in leather, fron-
ting her new band with an air of
aggression, even menace. ("Oh
God, punk," moaned one fellow-
viewer.) Well, women aren't
what they were 15 years ago,
and neither is Marianne
Faithful.

Back thnn she was, among
other things, Mick Jagger's mis-
tress and a recording star of
sorts. She had one hit single "As
Tears Go By," and several
albums with names like
"Faithful Forever."

But above all she was a
celebrity, to a degree entirely
disproportionate to her musical
merits. She was a name, a face,
an image, the archetypical 60s
girl: "very nice, very skinny;"
long blond hair and floppy bangs;
"half woman, half thighs." She
was the "NUDE GIRL FOUND
WRAPPED IN RUG" when Keith
Richard was busted at his
Redlands home in 1967. Oblig-
ingly, she even posed with the
newspaper that printed that
banner headline.

So how could anyone take her
seriously? To her credit, she
tried. S he appeared in a London
production of Chekhov's Three
Sisters (seriousness beyond the
call of duty, I think), and did a few
films. But her own idea for a film
scenario, as she told an
interviewer, was "me and Mick
In high rock." Not, presumably,

rehearsing "As Tears Go By"
either.

Then came the break with
Jagger, and years of her lin ad-
diction which was sensationally
chronicled in Tony Sanchez'
new book Up and Down With
the Rolling Stones.

Which is why her new album,
Broken English is a landmark.
The image remains, but now
behind the image lies solid artis-
tic achievement. Broken
English is a brilliant record for
many reasons; Marianne's
choice of songs, for one. There is
no personal statement here, ho
notice served of her transition,
no old saws to settle. This alone
is evidence of her maturity as an
artist.

And the voice cracked,
nasal, husky and quivering. "I
think it's every whiskey, every
cigaret (sic), every year," she
explains. Performing "Guilt" on
Saturday Night Live she seemed
barely able to croak: wholly
deliberate, of course, though not
easy. As a vehicle of com-
munication for the songs on
Broken English, the voice is
perfect every break, every
sardonic tone, every dark edge
cuts like a knife with a jagged
blade.

The title song, "Broken
English" sets the pace for the
album. It has almostadisco beat:
a strong insinuating guitar and
echoes; and best of all,
Marianne's curled-upper lip
vocal. The song is about 60's
radical Ulrike Meinhoff, a
political prisoner in Germany. Its
strange, shifting textures reflect
the lyrical ambiguity towards

her, "What are you fighting for?/
It's not my security/ It's just an
old war/ Not even a cold war/
It's not my reality."

"Witches", also written by
Marianne and the band exhibits
the same economy of
arrangemnnt; its subject is
perfectly suited to Marianne's
haunting vocal delivery,
"Danger is great joy/Dark is
bright as fire". Other tunes
which stand out are John 'Len-
non's "Working Class Heroes"
and the subtly dramatic "Ballad
of Lucy Jordan".

The greatest song is the last
one of the album, "Why DYa Do
It?" The song, adapted from a
poem by Heathcote Williams,
concerns two lovers fighting it
out in ugly and sexually explicit
language; the woman having
just discovered she man's in-
fidelity to her.

The lyrics most of them
could never be printed here, nor
will you ever hear them on the
radio. The band rocks like
nowhere else on the album, yet
is restrainedenouqh to create an
atmosphere of emotional ten-
sion. Marianne's voice tears
through the instruments, snarl-
ing with contempt for the male:
"You just tore all our kisses right
in half I". The lead guitar follows
her lines in quirky flashes,
heightening the searing, angry
mood of she song.

"Why D'Ya Do It?" proves that
she can be as powerful an artist
as she had been and still is, a
personality. Critical fervor aside,
Broken English is hereby
recommended in the very
highest terms.

Artist Speaks

By Carol Goodman

One of the foremost contem-
porary American painters, Joan
Snyder, gave a discussion and
slide presentation of her. art at
the High Museum on Tuesday,
April 29. While showing the
progressions in her work over
her career, she concentrated on
the transition taking place in her
art that has developed into what
some critics call abstract -
expressionism. Her work almost
overflows with an energy that
seems to jump from the canvas.
With this energy, Ms. Snyder's
art puts forth her feelings and
conveys what paint and color are
about, since, as she explained,
the paint itself is her subject
matter. She manipulated the
elements of paint and color on
the canvas to express emotion,
showing that colors mean

something in terms of feelings.

In her famous series of
"Symphony" paintings, she
tried to incorporate several
feelings into each work, in the
same way that a symphony of
music incorporates several vary-
ing movements into one united
piece. Through her explanations
the audience was able to follow
Ms. Snyder's thoughts, the in-
fluences on her art, and the
developments in her art and life
that led to her present work and
her fame as a painter. The uni-
que experience of following the
development of an artist and her
work was heightened by the in-
troduction to the world of Joan
Snyder, a woman deeply aware
of her own feelings who
possesses the ability to convery
these feelings through paint.

sieur Poirot, the unflappable
detective who is nearly stumped
in Miss Christie's most complex
mystery. Don't miss itl

Behind The Scenes

by Colleen Flaxington
Appointment With Death,

the current project of the Agnes
Scott Blackfriars, was originally
written as a novel by Agatha
Christie in 1938. She later
adapted her work to the stage,
making some revisions, the most
striking of which was the omis-
sion of Hercule Poirot, the vain
but delightful Belgian detective
who figures in many of Christie's
mysteries. Mr. Jack Brooking,
who is directing the play, revised
what Christie had already
written for the stage, and
reinserted the character of
Poirot.

Mr Brooking explained that
one of the technical challenges
ot the play was the construction

of the sets, as the play occurs in
several exotic places. Another
challenge was coordinating the
many entrances and exits of the
fairly large cast. Of the actual ac-
ting, he said, "The play is
melodramatic, but we're trying
to approach it seriously."

The actresses are exclusively
Agnes Scott girls, while the ac-
tors come from varied
backgrounds to audition for
Agnes Scott productions. The
cast has rehearsed for 3 hours
every week night for 6 weeks.
Besides merely memorizing the
lines, some of the actors must
also master foreign accents.

What makes this production a
bit different from other plays

presented by the .Blackfriars is
the fact that Mr. Brooking kept
the solution to the mystery from
the cast until just a few weeks
before the performance.
Therefore, neither the
characters in the play northe ac-
tors who portrayed them knew
who had committed the murder.
"It created a nice tension in the
scenes," said Mr. Brooking. "It
made the actors dive into their
characters, and look into their
own consciences to see whether
they too, would perhaps be able
to commit such a crime."

The next 2 performances of
Appointment With death will
be May 16 and 17. Students may
purchase tickets for $.50.

May is finally here, and de-
spite the obvious lack of Maypoles
to dance around, there are
plenty of things one can do to
relieve academic tension. (If you
really feel the need to dance
around a Maypole, a tree or
flagpole will certainly do. Of
course, everyone will think you
are an English major worship-
ping phallic symbols). Here are
some alternatives to studying
that might benefit you ... 1.
MIDNIGHT MOVIES . . . of
course, THE ROCKY HORROR
PICTURE SHOW (Silver Screen
in Buckhead) is an old stand-by
these days. A film that is rapidly
growing in its cult standing is
HAROLD AND MAUDE: this is
a beautiful film with sensitive
music provided by Cat Stevens.
QUADROPHENIA and ROCK
AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL are
both wonderful weekend
diversions as well, (for reviews

of both movies, see past issues
of THE PROFILE)

Most midnight movies are
ones that have been chosen
because of their popularity and
wide spread appeal; if you can
stay awake long enough to go, it
would probably be worth your ef-
fort.

2 THE PIEDMONT ARTS
FESTIVAL ... this is the Nirvana
of all festivals in Atlanta. Art, of
course, is the focus here, and
artists from all around display
their works, from stained glass
to sculpture, from weavings to
paintings. The Academy
theatre's production of Richard
the Third (look for review in next
week's PROFILE) will be
presented, as well as Seven
Stage's production of The
Tempest. Such dance groups as
Ruth Mitchell, the Atlanta
Contemporary Dance Company,

Company Kaye, and Princess
Naja (bellydancer) will perform,
numerous bands will provide
musical entertainment (in-
cluding Atlanta favorite Cool
Breeze). One more thing; the
food is greatl

3 'THE HOOCH" ... The

stretch of the Chattahoochee
river that runs through
northwest Atlanta is popular
because it is very slow and does
not have many bad rapids.
Therefore it has become a haven
during hot weather for those of
us who like floating lazily along
with good friends and good beer;
be careful if you go on an
overcast day, though, lying in the
sun for long hours will blister
you painfully. Look in the Yellow
Pages for raft-rentals, and be
sure to wear tennis shoes when
you go.

Get Happy!

by A.I.M.

(Overheard in the Hub) A:
Well, I just don't understand
why y'all like that punk music?!

Well, most of it is like recycled
sixties dance music, you know?
A: All my friends like to listen to
beach music, like my boyfriend
who's president of ATO.

Just to clear up a few mis-
conceptions, Elvis Costello isn't
punk, even though he is ugly.
He's more like new wave
category or, better yet, dance
music full of angst, anger and
expression. Elvis' latest is,
paradoxily, his most accessible
and least understandable album
to date. Get Happyl has a
mixture of feelings and mis-
placed emphasis due to
overflowing emotions, It sounds
like a manic - depressive too
excited to be completely
articulate.

Side one (listed as side two on
the jacket) contains the first ten
cuts, just as side two contains
the second ten with no loss of
high fidelity from squenched
grooves. Don't ask why, just
know that producer Nick Lowe
arranged this feat as well as the
hollow/crisp recording of 49:35
minutes total of basic rock and
roll tempered by that Motown
sound. The greatest gimmick is a
bit of instrumental echo on some
songs and prominent bass
(match your steps to it while
dancing) on the uptempo songs.

The abundance of songs is a
bit overwhelming at first, but,
with a few playings, they begin
to grow on me. Right now all the
cuts sound decent, of these,
twelve are outstanding and six
are exceptional creations. It is
generally agreed that Elvis
Costello is a witty lyricist; there's
not time enough to decipher all
of his thick Brit accent, but for an
example, there is the tender
"New Amsterdam" with a pun in
the line, "Till I step on the brake
to get out of her clutches."
Automotive imagery is also
present in "Five Gears In
Reverse "/It's like I don't know
what I'm doing'/And at a
fashionable thirst/Like walking
down the road to ruin". Another

touching simile is contained in
the song ("giving you away like)
Motel Matches"; while humor
reigns in the title "I Can't Stand
Up For Falling Down". At least
Elvis writes better than the stan-
dard 'logical, sensible, practical
or 'love vou. ves I do I pop lyrics.

Aside from the fact that Get
Happy! j s great to dance to,
moderately conductive to
studying, deep enough to
provide analytical mental
exercise and nearly brings me to
tears with the unexpected
beauty and anguish of "Riot
Act". Music is your best
entertainment value, so (I can't
resist) Get Happyl and give the
king of new waves a chance on
your brainwaves.

Tennis Season Ends: Goals Met

by Karen Ramsbottom

At the close of the season the
Agnes Scott Tennis Team has
not only met, but surpassed their
overall goal: To win 50% of their
matches. Overall, the team won
8 matches, lost 6 matches, and
tied 1. Another goal which the
team strove to achieve was their
attitude on court during match
play - to control a confident,
mature attitude as a team. Miss
Messick boasted, "ASC showed
this consistently throughout the
season."

The state tournament was
held at Emory on April 24, 25,
and 26. The overall winner was
Emory, but Agnes Scott was
represented well. Kathy Fulton,
playing #6, defeated North
Georgia College's Pam
Nolliman 6-0. 6-1 in the first
round, but Miss Fulton was
beaten in the semi-finals. Uisi
Inserni upset the #2 seed in the
state, WGC's Lori Stevensons,
6-4, 2-6, 6-4,but she also lost in
the semi-tinals. Teace
Markwalter and Kim Gentil both

lost in the first round, but they
lost to opponents who made it io
the finals. In doubles Priscilla
Keifer and Caroline McCrary
made first and second rounds
beating North Georgia College
and Georgia Southwestern, but
they were upset in the semi-
finals by Emory.

Overall, the season went well
for the ASC tennis team. Miss
Messick claimed they "gained
experience individually and as a
team. There were 16 matches

with the girls playing an average
of 9 games." They qualified, and
were represented in the state
tournament. The team did well
under the pressure of a state
tournament." Also, Miss Mis-
sick stated it was "experience
meeting a rigorous schedule of

three matches per week.
Overall, the team met their

goals."

Uisi Inserni was voted to the
all-state team, which was
decided on by the tournament
committee.

What is Wrong With
the Atlanta Braves?

After losing 1 -9 the first part of
the season, owner Ted Turner
decided to shake the team up. He
viewed the problem mainly as
resulting from a poor attitude on
the part of two main team
leaders. Bob Horner, former
"Rookie of the Year," and lead-
ing hitter of the previous year,
was hitting a mere .059 and had

committed almost half the iam
errors. Gary Matthews, former
All-star and second leading
hitter, was hitting .125 and had
committed the same number of
errors as he had all last year.
Turner decided to bench those
characters, and since then the
team is 7-3 and moved from last
to fourth place. The Braves even
defeated the world champion

Softball Scoop

Pittsburg Pirates 2 out of 3
games. Matthews and Horner
are still benched and their
replacements have performed
well.

Turner seems to have dis-
covered the problem and solved
it. Many critics have sided
aga inst Turner. However, if 2
players making around $250,-
000 a season, cease trying to be
productive, they should be ben-
ched. A big part of any game is
desire and theirs seerns to be
gone. Believe it or not, the
Braves seem to have discovered
their problem early in the season
for a change.

Pitch It Polly!

Spring t Softball has been a fun
and exciting activity for those
who enjoy getting out on a sunny
day! Winship leads the battle so
far. Stars Mildred Pinnel, Meg
Miller, and "SNU" little sisters
hold this fine ball club-together.
Actually, the whole team works
well together moving the ball
around the field.

Walters is priviledged to have
Polly Gregory, a former pitcher
on her high school baseball
team!

"Main's Momas" engaged in a
wild game against Inman, Hop-
kins, and Day Students with star
outf lelder Ann Myre covering
left field. Linda Palmer, making a
guest appearance, proved to be
an excellent hitter and second
baseman. Main works well
together especially with Sharon
Maitland offering her "softbal
tips and bits of advice " What an
inspiration she is! Main will
surely miss her next year!

Maisano Presents Paper On Women & Music

by Sarah Laser

Have you ever heard of Alpha
Kappa Delta? No, it's not a
sorority or a fraternity. AKD is
the National Sociology Honorary
Society. Agnes Scott does not
have a chapter (rules require
three full time faculty members
in the Sociology Department), so
why mention it? Well, the AKD
sponsored a Sociology
Symposium at the Francis
Marion College afew weeks ago,
and this year for the first time an
Agnes Scott student participated
in the program. Beth Maisano,
currently a sophomore and
president of her class, became
the first ASC student to present
a paper at the Carolina
Undergraduate Symposium.
Some of the other schools
represented were Smith, Emory,
Valdosta State, Converse, Duke,
Sweetbriar, Chapel Hill and Bryn
Mawr. Beth's paper deals with
the topics of sociology and music
and, according to Professor Con-
nie Jones, the paper was "one of
the best received and contains
material of great merit."

Beth's paper is as the title
states "An Examination of
Stereotypes of Women in
Commercial Music of the
Seventies." In the paper, Beth
explores the possible reasons
behind the treatment of women
as sexual objects, promiscuous
beings, and helpless creatures
in American society of the late
1970s. Beth's study includes
the Top 40 songs from 1 975-79
and she explores the

maintenance ot sucn sexual
stereotypes through rein-
forcement from male and female
artists, writers and musicians
responsible for the commercial
music of this period.

In the paper, Beth's research
results in the definition of three
major stereotypes of women in
music: (1) the bitch-witch
stereotype involving a woman
who is intrinsically ruthless, evil,
with a one-track selfish mind, (2)
the merciless heartbreaker
presenting a woman who is
cruel to her lover, and (3) the-
dependent object or a woman
who always pleases her man.
Beth's research and clas-
sification stem from original
ideas and thus the study is a
truly remarkable and merited
work. She explores her
stereotypes by analyzing the
music of such recording artists
as the Rolling Stones, Heart,
Alan Parson's Project, the
Police, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the
Eagles and others.

Beth's paper originated due to
the requirement of a term paper
in Ms. Jones' class, Sociology
336, SexRoles. Beth's paper will
be published in the Carolina
Symposium's proceedings. Beth
and Ms. Jones will submit the
paper to a major journal of
sociology for later publication.
Ms. Jones stated that she feels
Beth has done an excellent job
and she is proud to be associated
with the project. Ms. Jones

believes the symposium to be a
valuable learning experience for
undergraduate students of
sociology, and she hopes to be
sponsoring students for the
symposium in the future.

When Beth was asked to men-
tion the "high-light" of her trip,
she replied that it had to be the
McCain Hotel, her place of
residence for two days in
Florence, S.C. The McCain
Hotel, replete with red tin
furniture bolted in the walls, af-
forded such amenities as used
towels and holes in the walls.

However, Beth and her traveling
companion Cheryl Brown
remained undaunted. They
managed a visit to the Sky-View
Drive-In, surrounded by ap-
proximately twenty pick-up
trucks whose inhabitants hurled
Pabst Blue Ribbon cans
mercilessly out the windows.

Beth assured the authorthat any
place can be found in Florence
by first reaching the standard
landmark, the Piggly Wiggly
(similar to the Big Chicken
landmark in Marietta, Ga.). Beth
returned from her trip with the
satisfied feeling that she had
both shared and gained useful
knowledge, and with a Gideon
Bible, eight copies of the
Florence Observer, and greens
and black-eyed peas from the
Piggly-Wiggly.

Interdorm Reports Results

by Helen Anderson

As a reply to the recent
Interdorm survey on parietals
and lobby hours, Interdorm has
voted to extend lobby hours for
next fall. Lobby hours are the
hours when male guests are
allowed in the lobby if escorted
by an Agnes Scott student while
dorms are still locked. The new
lobby hours which will go into
effect next fall are Monday
through Friday 12 noon to 12
p.m. On weekends, hours will
last from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Another change will allow
fathers and, usually, brothers to
visit a student's room besides
the hours for male visitation.

Permission must first be ob-
tained from a dorm president,
senior resident, or resident as-
sistant.

About half of the survey
returned indicated an interest in
some sort of extension of
parietals. However, only 30 per-
cent of the boarding students
responded to the survey. The
majority of students saw no
need for a student hostess duty
between 12 and 2 a.m. on
weekends. Many suggested that
these hours be treated as Sffice
hours. Another suggested that
the pool be open to male guests
on weekends. Lack of dressing

facilities prevent such hours.
Abolishing hostess duties en-
tirely was a popular notion.
However, most agreed they en-

Who's Prejudiced

In response to the article
written to everyone who didn't
attend the SBA disco party, I
would like to ask, "Who's pre-
judiced?" Webster's dictionary
defines prejudice as "an
unreasonable predilection or
bias." Obviously, this doesn't in-
clude just prejducie against skin
color. What about prejudice
against a mode of dress? A
recent article in Time magazine
comments, 'This summer and
fall, the fashion-conscious
woman will be wearing what the

fashion-unconscious woman
has been wearing for decades."
The article says of the "preppie
look", The clothes are neat,
crisp, classic . . . "and continues,
"preppie items are investment
clothes, they ride out the whims
of fashion. So many people are
buying Bass shoes the stores
can't keep them stocked."

As for "beach music" and
shagging, a lot of people think
it's as much fun as disco.
Besides, you can disco in top-

Twenty One Readers

In the April 28 paper, I ran a
survey with the intent of prov-
ing that few people care
whether or not The Profile is
published. But even I didn't
think it would be this bad!
There were 21 responses in
all 2 of which were from
non-students and 2 of which
were unfavorable. That
leaves 17 people who ac-
tually want The Profile. To
their credit, four of the res-
pondants offered to help and
many of the others were
student leaders who are at
least as involved as they
should be.

Following are some of the

comments and suggestions
we received:

"I read it and would miss
it." . . . "Everyone appreciates
your efforts and enjoys the
end product" ... "I didn't
realize things had gotten this
bad " "The
Arts/Entertainment around
Atlanta section is uninteres-
ting and not necessary" . . . "I
really enjoy The Profile" . . .
'There is a definite need for
The Profile" ... "I enjoy the
editorials and features" ... "I
had no idea there wasn't a
staff and that anyone could
submit articles" . . . "The

paper is invaluable" . . . "The
Profile does a great job for the
amount of support it
receives" . . . "We need
quality not quantity" ... "I
hope that enough interest
will be shown in it, sothatthe
paper can continue to be
published." There was also
one suggestion for a gossip
column.

Okay, women do you or
do you not want the paper? I
guess it's a good exercise in
playing journalist for the few
of us who are on the staff, but
it sure is a lot of work for the
enjoyment of 21 people!

Spring quarter is down to

days til we get outl On behalf
of Rep Council, I want to
thank everyone for getting in-
volved this quarter. Thanks to
you the Food Committee
has been reestablished, the
Silhouette budget approved,
Article X of the ASC SGA
Constitution has been ap-

proved, and plans have been
made for the Fall Retreat. The
student body has given Rep
and Catalyst some wonderful
ideas and the support has
been phenomenal!

I cannot emphasize the im-
portance and necessity of
communications, ideas, and
support to you. Rep Council's
hands are tied without your

interest and involvement. If
you get a spare moment this
summer while soaking upthe
sun's rays, think of some
ideas to get Agnes Scott roll-
ing in the fall. I hope each and
every one of you has a
marvelous summer. See you
in the fall!

Footnotes:

This is my formal apology for
all mistakes made in the past
papers.

In the April 21st issue,
apologies to Miss Fabisinski,
who claims that she doesn't own
a bikini; and Mrs. Sheats who
was discriminated against. It is
our policy to leave professional
titles off of the ASC faculty and
Mrs. Sheats' was left off. Mr.
Copple's, however was not. It
was an unfortunate mistake
all our female staff usually tries
to discriminate against the men!

In the May 1 2 issue, apologies
to Ms. Terri McGehee, whose
name we misspell about three
times a year; and to Mildred
Pinnell who has the same
problem with us. The only time
we get her name right is when it
is found in a by - line. Maybe you
had better write for us more
often, Mildew Pineapple!

Appearances Count

When you see a fair-haired lady

she says it really slow

then with a rolling sort of drawl

she hands you a "how are you all?"

tell yourself that she's probably dumb

most likely numb to new ideas

and radical opinions.

Turn away, afraid you'll have

to open doors and pay her way,

lead her by the hand, but hey

inside the flaxen head-cover

Student Attends Anti-Nuclear Protest

by Gretchen Lindsay

On the weekend of April 26 I
had the experience of attending
the annual protest march/rally
against nuclear energy held in
our nation's capitol. The op-
portunity fell into my lap quite
unexpectedly, but I was happy to
obtain such a unique chance to
learn more about this con-
troversial form of energy. While
attending an anti-nuclear lec-
ture at Georgia State University
the previous Tuesday night, I
heard of the proposed trek and
entered a raffle for a ticket.
Much to my surprise, I received a
call the next day saying I had
won, and two days later I found
myself waiting at Ansley Mall
with 200 other people
concerned about our present
and future use of nuclear
energy. Four buses and two vans
left Atlanta around 10:30 Friday
night and arrived in Washington,
D.C. near 11:00 Saturday
morning. I had anticipated a long
and boring trip, but having slept
most of the way, I scarcely
noticed the 1 V/i hour journey.

It was raining when we
arrived in Washington, and un-
fortunately, it never stopped.
Upon arriving, there was a mad
rush for garbage bag raincoats
as everyone futilely tried to keep

dry. We all made our way up to
the front lawn of the Capitol,
where a bandstand was already
humming with speakers and
singers as protesters assembled
for the march at noon. The lawn
was alive with colorful waving
banners representing most of
the 50 states. People came from
as far away as California and the
New England states had
especially strong members. The
groups from Three Mile Island
led the protest march and I
joined the Georgia State group
who followed close behind. The
two mile march proceeded from
the Capitol down Constitution
Avenue to the Washington
Monument. Upon arriving, all
30,000 of us crowded around
the makeshift stage and listened
to speakers and singers for over
five hours. We heard everyone
from American Indians to native
South Africans speak against
nuclear energy and the
performers included PeteSeeger,
and Blood, Sweat and Tears.
Barry Commoner, the Citizen's
Party's candidate for President
of the U.S., gave a well-received
speech about the power of
politics in controlling nuclear
energy and Jackson Browne
was scheduled to appear, but
had to cancel at the last minute.

Although the use of nuclear
energy was the main issue being
protested, other concerns were
also voiced, such as the build-up
of nuclear weapons, our
relations with Iran and the plight
of the American Indians of South
Dakota are facing due to the in-
troduction of nuclear power.
During the rally the protest
against nuclear power energy
was fully presented, with the
details of nuclear power
explained, the many dangers
pointed out, and most im-
portantly, alternatives such as
solar energy put forth. It was a
very positive rally with a strong
feeling of unity between the
crowd and the performers.

There were dim sides to the
day the rain never ceased,
most were not prepared for the
downpour and were soaked to
the skin, and the temperature
dropped steadily. We also had to
remain standing during the 5 1 /2
hour rally because of the thick
mud. Clearly there were not
ideal conditions for a protest
rally. The inclement weather did
make a difference in the turnout
"only" 30,000 showed up,
whereas twice that many would
probably have come had the
weather been bearable. But the
foul conditions only seemed to

ACLU Project Director
Discusses Women's Rights

by Laurie McBrayer

Editor's Note: Laurie
interviewed Ms. Betsy Brinson,
who works at the ACLU office
in Richmond, Va., during Ms.
Brinson's visit to Atlanta.

Equality of rights under
the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the
United States or any state
on account of sex.

The Equal Rights Amendment
(ERA) is a priority issue of the
National Organization of
Women (NOW), but it's also a
concern of the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU). A
specific program, The Southern
Women's Rights Project was
created in 1 977 by the ACLU to
address problems of both sexism
and racism. Ms. Betsy Brinson,
the director of the project,
explained that there has been an
"increased consciousness"
aboutthe women's movement in
the past couple of years. She
said that ERA has traditionally
been "a middle class white

woman's issue" and that there
is a "need to open up minority
communication." She said the
passage of the amendment by
1982 is "very necessary, legally
and symbolically," and
explained that because there is
no current constitutional
guarantee to women, passage of
the ERA would be "a tremen-
dous boost to litigation."
Symbolically, ERA is the
traditional symbol of NOW. Ms.
Brinson explained that although
the majority of Southern women
support the ERA, ERA has less
support from the South than
from the North. "One thing that
intrigues me is that in the South
more men are for it than
women," she added.

The Southern Women's
Rights Project also focuses on
the entrance of women into non-
traditional careers, abortion and
employment discrimination. Ms.
Brinson explained "Feminism
was not a thing in the 60's. It
was a good 'program' yet it
tended to guide women into
traditional jobs." She said, "Pay
equity is clearly an issue of the
80's." She suggested that en-

vironmental, clerical, and
medical fields boast of op-
portunities for women.

Ms. Brinson, who works at the
ACLU in Richmond, Va., has
been Vice-President of the
National Women's Studies As-
sociaton for two years. Last
summer she attended the first
women's history institute,
which convened at Sarah
Lawrence University. She
received her undergraduate
degree (major - history) from the
University of North Carolina in
Greensboro. When she attended
the school in 1 960, it was known
as 'The Woman's College." Ms.
Brinson, who said that she had
seriously considered going to
Agnes Scott, said that she has a
preference for woman's
colleges, where students seem
to be freer in "personal expres-
sion" and have a greater op-
portunity to fill leadership
positions. She describes a
woman's campus as a "sup-
portive environment." Looking
toward the future, Ms. Brinson
sa id that she was f a irly confident
that ERA would eventually be
passed.

unite those 30,000 even more;
they were all people who are
very concerned about the use of
nuclear power as an energy
source, and nothing was going
to stop them from voicing this
concern.

What impressed me the most
was the diversity of the people
with whom I travelled. They
were not the "Hippies" or
"flower children" of the 60's, as
so many people tend to
stereotype protesters. The man
behind me on the bus was an at-
torney, the gentleman next to
him a businessman, my bus-
mate was a first grade school
teacher, the woman in front of
me a waitress, the young man
next to her a Georgia State
student working on his Ph.D. . . .
all "normal" people from
different walks of life who have
banded together to protest
something they feel is very
wrong and to suggest some
immediately workable
alternatives.

Although the national rally
was not a tremendous success
in some ways, it served to unite
even stronger those on the local
levels who will return to their

own communities and work to
inform people of the dangers of
nuclear power. And for a

change, the closing statement
was the hope that it wouldn't be
necessary to see any of us at an
anti-nuclear rally next year.

Intervarsity Christian
Fellowship held their Spring
Leadership Seminar on May
2 and 3 at Georgia Tech.
Lolly DuBose and Sheila
Rogers represented Agnes
Scott at the seminar. The
seminar included a basic
overview of IV<s doctrinal
basis, and a wonderful
character study of Hezakiah
on Friday night. Hezakiah, like
our own Christian student
leaders, took responsibility at
a young age, was committed
to God, and faced great
challenges. On Saturday, the
seminar focused on the
qualities of the Christian
community as seen in Acts 2,
4, and 5. These special
characteristics were then
explored in depth and then
applied practically to the
small group Bible studies.
The seminar provided many
exciting ideas which will
make the Dormitory Bible
Studies much more challeng-
ing and effective next year.
Notes from the seminar will
be made available. Forfurther
information call 377-8495.

Dept. of Labor Reveals

In 1978, women constit-
uted more than 40% of all
workers.

The median age of women
workers is 34 years.

The more education a
woman has the greater the
likelihood she will seek paid
employment. Among women
with 4 or more years of
college, about 3 out of 5 were
in the labor force in 1978.

The average woman
worker earns about 60% of
what a man does, even when
both work year 'round.

Fifty-three percent of all
mothers with children under
18 years were in the labor
force in 1978.

Fully employed women
high school graduates (with
no college) had less income
on the average than fully em-
ployed men who had notcom-
pleted elementary school
$8,462 and $9,332, respec-
tively in 1977. Women with
four years of college also had
less income than men with
only an 8th grade education
$11,134 and $11,931,
respectively.

Working Women

'The Project on the Status
and Education of Women"
reports that motherhood is no

longer the insurmountable
obstacle to women's entry
into the labor force. The
number of working mothers
has increased tenfold since
World War II, with 53% of all
mothers with children under
18 participating in 1978. In
the same year, 3 out of 5
women with 4 or more years
of college had jobs. While a
college education improved
employment opportunities, it
did not elevate women's
salaries to a level comparable
to those of men with a similar
amount of education. In fact,
women with 4 years of
college received less income
than men with only an 8th
grade education: $11,134
and $11,931 respectively.
Women in the Sciences
Despite an overall decline
in the number of applicants to
medical schools over the past
3 years, the number of
women, minority, and older
applicants has increased.
Forty percent of the women
who applied for admission in
the 1977-78 class were
accepted, numbering 4,081
of the 15,977 accepted ap-
plicants. Thirty-two percent
of the male applicants were
accepted.

have children, and to face
unending disappointment.
This is the brutal subject of
David Rudkin's ASHES. The
play opens May 14 in the
Alliance Studio Theatre,
where Artistic Director Fred
Chappell once again returns
to the stage.

The play itself was a recent
off-Broadway sensation,
produced by Joseph Papp at
the New York Shakespeare
Festival. ASHES deals shoc-
kingly with the couple's
obsessive desire for children.
Its harsh clinical perspective
intensifies the personal
trauma faced by this destined
couple. "It is one of the most
important new plays of
today," states Chappell, "a
harrowing personal drama
which poses incredible
challenges."

ASHES will run through
May 25. Tickets are $5.50

Tuesday through Thursday
and Sunday matinee and
$6.50 Friday and Saturday.
For information and
reservations, phone 892-
2414.

Next year the Alliance
Theatre will present a full
season including:
American Film , a wildly
hilarious take-off on
American films and the
Hollywood musical; The King
and I; The Three Sisters, An-
ton Chekhov's version of
culture vs. vulgarity; Sly Fox,
a comedy based on Ben
Johnson's Volpone; and in
the spring, Shakespeare's
Henry the Fifth.

Subscription prices for a
whole season of
entertainment are: $26.25
and $1 6.50 for students with
a discount. For more in-
formation about subscrip-
tions, call 892-PLAY.

Sabotage/Live

Violent Death
Successfully Executed

by Nicole Pretlow

"Fantastic! Very exciting," is
one student's apt comment
aboutthe Blackfrairs' production
of Appointment With Death.

Indeed, the audience truly
becomes involved in this "tale of
tyranny and death," for each ac-
tor is effective in displaying
his/her peculiar individuality
which contributes successfully
to the plot. The appearances of
Hercules Poirot are excellent
examples; while his
appearances are infrequent, the
audience is led to believe that
without his aid, the murder
would have no intrique and the
plot would fail. (Although
Poirot's contributions in the first
scenes are more like those of an
alcoholic comic.)

As a member of the audience, I
felt compelled to discover the

evil desires of Mrs. Boynton,
("violently" and successfully
played by Sharmaine McNeil)
and how her motives will affect
each of her puppet children
individually.

Actors G. McCalley (Dr.
Gerard) and Mr. Jack Brooking
(H. Poirot) should be
commended on their believable
French accents, and a special
congratulations should go to H.
Hall (Col. Carbury) for his
success in adding needed life in
the last act and a naturalness to
his character.

On the whole, the play was
successfully "executed" and
well supported with a stage
construction which paid atten-
tion to detail and design; I
especially enjoyed the typically
British touch of a silver tea set
out in the middle of the desert.

John Cale has been a major
influence in the music industry
for the past fifteen years, but
unless you're seriously into rock
'n' roll you've probably never
heard of him. And no, he's not
the same as JJ. Cale of
"Cocaine "fame. John Cale is an
extremely gifted musician and
the best performer you can hope
to see in concert.

Cale was born and raised in
Wales where he studied clas-
sical music. Asachild prodigy he
completed one of his early piano
recitals by smashing the piano
bench with an axe an in-
dication of the shape of thingsto
come. He went to New York in
the early '60s where he became
part of the Velvet Underground,
a Greenwich Village band
promoted by Andy Warhol.
Together with Lou Reed, Cale
created some of the most in-
novative music of that period,
merging in his songs an interest
in noise and monotony. While
groups like the Beatles were
singing nice love songs,
"Michelle" for example, (even
your parents would listen tothat)
the Underground experimented
with the explicit drug song
"Heroin" and the sado-
masochistic "Venus In Furs".

John Cale left the Velvet
Underground in 1968 to pursue
a solo career, yielding such
albums as "Helen Of Troy",
"Fear", "Slow Dazzle" and "Vin-
tage Violence". Without the
street punk influence of Lou
Reed, Cale was able to fully
develop his musical style which
showed his classical
background. He is completely

versatile. As a musician he will
always be noted for his electrical
viola works, as well as paino and
guitar playing. He writes nearly
all of his material, from the most
meodious love songs to savagely
violent ones. The song "Guts" is
a powerful rocker; the words
might even escape you at first,
but they deserve mention, "The
bugger in the short sleeves
fucked my wife . . Did it quick
then split . . . Blew him all over
the living room floor . . . Like
parrot shit, parrot spit, . . . Parrot
shit was shot." The proper
words receive strong emphasis.
We are drawn further in to this
madness being told, "Sooo, kill
all you want, or more . . . Make
sure, do it right .... Dead is dead
and doornails forget ..." Cale
seems to be on the border
between genius and insanity; he
wants us to cross with him.

Many other musicians have
been started along the road to
success by John Cale. He has
produced albums for such greats
as Iggy and the Stooges, the
Modern Lovers and Patti Smith.
When another Underground
member, Nico, went solo, he
helped out in her career.

His own latest album
"Sabotage/Live", released late
in 1979 proves that Cale has
only strengthened and grown as
a musician. While Lou Reed
swears at all the critics from on
stage and continues to do heavy
metal versions of "Sweet Jane",
Cale is concerned with current
world problems. The best song
on the album, "Mercenaries
(Ready For War)" emphasizes
that we "must go, must go to
Moscow . . Find the back door to

the Kremlin . . . Push it down and
walk on it". His voice is powerful
and intense, never straining. For
those of you who believe the
myth that the greatest rock 'n'
roll scream comes from Roger
Daltry in "Won't Get Fooled
Again", just listen to
"Mercenaries". Cale counts
down the bomb drop, growing
louder with each point until he
reaches "Target visibility", and
shouts "ZERO!". He
immediately recovers with the
chorus, his voice never faltering.

Other highlights of the album
include a fantastic version of the
Rufus Thomas classic, "Walking
The Dog" and the title track,
"Sabotage". "Sabotage" recalls
the days of the Underground
Cale shouting the words while
the band plays screeching rock
'n' roll. Everyone will agree with
"Military intelliegence isn't
what it used to be, SO WHATI
Human intelligence isn't what it
used to be either . . .
SABOTAGE!" The song des-
cribes an anarchy more vivid
than anything the Sex Pistols
sang about.

Cale performed many of the
songs from his "Sabotage"
album in a recent concert at the
Agora Ballroom, He is, as
previously mentioned, unques-
tionably the greatest live
performer. His show lacks
nothing. He doesn't need,
however, to reach out to the
audience; his music draws his
listeners to him. He merely plays
his songs the way he wants,
appearing almost oblivious to
the presence of anyone except
his band.

CITYWIDE BYRAMONA DE SADE

I was lucky enough recently to
have seen the Academy
Theatre's Production of
Shakespeare's Richard the
Third, one of Shakespeare's
lengthier historical tragedies. In
fact, with several scenes cut out,
this production lasted for more
than three and one half hours.
Frank Wittow, founder and artis-
tic director of the Academy
Theatre, shows his brilliant act-
ting abilities in the leading role.
Although his performance in last
year's Death of a Salesman was
more exemplary of his talents,
Wittow's Richard is very well
done. He is quite a menace in his
soliliquized plotting, and in his
scene with Lady Anne, (Yetta
Levitt), he twists our feelings for
this character into semi-pity.

As forthe rest of the cast, Bon-
nie Gould, who plays Queen
Elizabeth, does a fine job, as
does Thomas Campbell as

Richard's brother George. The
rest of the cast seemed almost
mediocre; some of them spoke
their Shakesperean lines with a
familiar south Georgia twang.
Yetta Levitt delivered Anne's
tragic plea in a manner
reminiscent of a Muslim chant.

The stage itself is a huge and
complex system of scaffolding
that is quite effective and
unusual. This set worked very
well as the actors used different
parts of it for towers, streets,
dining halls, and various parts of
the palace. Another particularly
appealing part of this production
was the staging of Edward's
funeral procession, which came
through the audience complete
with torches and singing monks.

Richard the Third is most as-
suredly an interesting produc-
tion; however, be prepared to
take advantage of the two
intermissions. You will enjoy

Frank Wittow's performance
and his interaction with the
other actorsl

Intramural Softball Winds Down

by Mildred Pinnell

Intramural Softball came to a
close last week with several All -
Star games. Winship won the
overall dorm championship with
a record of 3 - 1 . On Monday,
May 12, All-Stars representing
each dorm played the faculty
team. The All-Stars were: Win-
ship - Mildred Pinnell, Meg
Miller, Martha Tuttle, Bonnie
Armstrong, and Val Hepburn;
Walters - Lisa Edenfield, Kelly
Coble, Ann Cunningham,
Miriam Campell, and Sue Scott -
who replaced injured Polly
Gregory; Hopkins/lnman - Tracy
Murdock, Rori Lane, Amy Potts,
Melody Mann; Rebekah - Jen-
nifer Williams, Liz Mosgrove,
Sandy Burson, Beth Richards,
and Sally Harris; Main - Linda

Palmer, Cindy Dantzler, Sharon
Maitland, Lynda Wymberly,
Kelly Murphy.

The Faculty won the game
with power hitting and solid
defense. Every one enjoyed the
game and had a good time
playing. (Perhaps the students
had final grades in mind and
were not in top form?) Many
thanks to the faculty members
who came and played.

The All-Stars were divided
into two teams to play a game
before the AA picnic on Wednes-
day, May 14. Winship/Rebekah
were to take on Main/Hop-
kins/lnman. The game was
called on account of rain, but this
reporter knows that the outcome
would have shown Win-
ship/Rebekah on topi

On Tuesday, May 1 3, a group
of All-Stars defeated an
#3* v

intramural team from Emory, 8 -
1 . The team members were:
Martha Tuttle, Rori Lane, Lisa
Edenfield, Meg Miller, Mildred
Pinnell, Amy Potts, Sue Scott,
Tracy Wannamaker, Jennifer
Williams, Bonnie Armstrong,
and Val Hepburn. The team was
coached by Steve Carter, hus-
band of biology instructor Eloise
Carter. The team practiced for
two weeks before the contest,

and. with Mr. Carter's help,
developed a "professional" look.
The practicing paidoff with a vic-
tory. Amy Potts led a solid
defense with several outstan-
ding plays; the offense was led
by Bonnie Armstrong, Jennifer
Williams, and Martha Tuttle.
Thanks to all those who came
out and supported the team - a
team ASC an be proud of.

Sabotage Live continued from page 4

John Cale enjoys being
different, a trait which is easily
traced in his stage costumes. His
latest tour outfit was impressive,
a surgeon's suit complete even
to the hygenic mask hanging
around his neck. I was close
enough to the stage to see real
blood spots on it.

Cale's actions on stage, often
shocking, seem to come
naturally to him although they
make him appear insane. At the

Paradise in Boston he crawled
across the stage as an entrance.
Several years ago he spon-
taneously killed a chicken during
a performance. His band left,
and his record company fired
him. His description of the in-
cident can be heard in the song
"Chicken Shit".

Cale has a faithful, almost cult
following. He performs for the
sake of his music, not money. All
shows are given in small

nightclubs like CBGB in New
York where his live album was
taped. His attitude towards the
hassles of the music industry
was recently expressed when he
appeared at a music store to
autograph copies of his new
album for promotional purposes.
After signing several records he
became bored with procedure
and wrote only "God-Dammit,
John Cale"
