S C. 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 Ed.

CHEAP THRILLS Page 4 The Profile October 1, 1979 editoria ls 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 blind conformity. The "woman of excellence" frequently turns out to be little more than a dilettante whose life is lined with wall to wall "humanistic corn- president of the local D.A.R. chapter, delegate to the World Council of Churches, tone deaf patroness of the symphony, and society hostess for her hus- mittments" (e.g. serving as band's influential friends) all Kemper's Korner 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.

Last year, more than 1 00 alumnae attended the workshop, and more are expected this year. Members of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Council will return to the campus from many parts of the country Friday, October 5, for workshops in their various fields of College volunteer work and for an updated view of the school and her activities. Attendance at the Black Cat picnic and performance will be a highlight of the occasion. According to plans announced by Virginia Brown McKenzie '47, Director of Alumnae Affairs, the opening event will be a special breakfast at 8 a.m. in the President's Dining Room honor- ing past presidents of the National Alumnae Association. College President Marvin B. Perry, Jr., Deans Julia Gary and Marty Kirkland, Vice Presidents Paul McCain and Lee A. Barclay, and Director of Admissions Judy Tindel have also been invited. Presiding over the day's events will be Cissie Spiro Aidinoff, of New York City, a member of the classof 1 961 and currently president of the National Alumnae Association. She and Kemper Hatfield '80, President of Student Government, will greet the Council at the morning session at 9:30 a.m. in Rebekah Recep- tion Room. Visiting alumnae will be guests at a continental breakfast there, luncheon with the faculty in Winship living room, and an afternoon visit with Dr. and Mrs Perry in their home. They will attend classes with students at 10:30 a.m. and will then reassemble in Rebekah for an Agnes Scott update by President Perry. During the afternoon they will tour the campus and hear talks by Dr. Paul McCain, Vice President for Development; Kathleen Mooney, Director of Career Planning; and Anita Moses Shippen '60, Assistant to the Director of Admissions. Members of the Council in- clude the Executive Board and past presidents of the Alumnae Association, class officers, fund chairmen and agents, alumnae club presidents and alumnae ad- missions representatives. 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. AAARTA Begins Bus/Rail Service MARTA's commitment to an area - wide integrated bus - rail transit network moves one step closer to completion with the October 13 conversion of bus routes in the east line service area to a new system tieing in with the east rapid rail line. Thirty-one routes will be Spanish Department Plans Trip In late November a group of students is planning to say good - bye to quarter exams and to head for Madrid. Why don't you join us? Ourfour - weekprogram will include a choice of courses in language, civilization, and directed studies (art, history, society). You will have lots of free time to explore Madrid on your own. Also, we will take side trips to other beautiful cities like Salamanca and Segovia. Our final days will be spent on the Mediterranean, in Malaga. And, don't worry, you will be back home in time for Christmas with some credit hours and with a unique and rewarding experience to share with your friends and family! All it costs is about $1200. The first payment of $600 is due on October 12th. If interested, please contact Professor Shaw soon, in 224 Buttrick Hall. SOPHOMORES Do You Know?! Black Cat Oct. 4,5,6 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. Page 6 The Profile October 1; 1979 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 presentation will be one of the 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' 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 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."

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 past President Gaines's pam- phlet described the years from 1 889 to 1 92 1 . President McCain wrote two pamphlets, both titled "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.

"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 Christmas." He said that he The twenty point system for membership has been abolished! If you are unable to attend a meeting leave a note in Beth Daniel box ( 136).

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- ject is kind of endless, but I am making progress toward com- pletion."

Dur- ing her 49 years on this campus, she officiated as dean of students and faculty, and as a mathematics professor. A collection of articles about Miss Hopkins served as a source for Dr. McNair. Other significant sources for Dr. McNair have been letters written by George Washington Scott and a book written by Louise McKinney, a former facu Ity member.

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 Profile Staff Party Rebekah Rec Room Tonight, 6:30 p.m. hard on tires.

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.

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.

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. F Upside . . "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. (Continued on page 5) Page 5 The Profile October 22, 1979 "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 . . ."

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.

Agnes Scott has met this team before, but this last game proved to be Agnes Scott's best effort. Georgia Club won the game with a score of 4- 1, but Agnes Scott had never scored on this team before. The Georgia Hockey Club is a team composed of women who played on their respective teams Lydia Reasor (tar right) cuts across in tront ot the goal to prevents score as Lisa Lee (center) prepares to back her up.

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. EASTERN Need extra money for Christmas?

Nouembcr 5, 1979 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 has published articles on career 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. planning for women and is a fre- quent speaker at national and regional conferences and meetings. Ms. Fenton, from Sydney, 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- dress the needs of career changers, managerial women and women in sales. Workshops wHI also be offered on the development of the resume, researching the job market and interviewing. The services of the Women's Center project are available by appointment only Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. Women interested in the Women's Center's services are encouraged to make a preliminary appointment, free of charge, in which their needs will be evaluated and the Center's services discussed. For subse- quent visits, testing and workshops, nominal fees will be charged. Registered users of the Women's Center programs may drop-in the reading room during office hours.

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 Committee members are Sue Connor, Kim Clark, Lisa Lee, Cheng-Suan Ooi, Lecie Weston, and Lisa Wilson; they will 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 funds next year. It may be neces- sary to raise the student ac- tivities fees in order to meet these requests. Good luck to everyone on finals, and have a nice, long holiday! Viewpoints . . . 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. Sincerely, Denise H. McFall Coordinator , OktoberQuest 79 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, Oktoberquest '79 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. Signed, A Frustrated Performer The Profile Page 3 arts /entertainment / / 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."

For group sales information, please call (404) 449)6545 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 .

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.

The Ad- missions Office will provide you with the information you need to participate in the phone-a-thon If you can help the SAR's, please contact Susan Mead, Box 436, or phone 373-9894, as soon as possible 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 Debbie Boelter, Class of 1980, wai recently awarded for her outstanding achievement in chemistry. Chemistry Students Win Top Honors Each year the Division of Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society presents awards to the top undergraduate students of analytical chemistry in selected colleges and universities. The recipients are rising seniors who have an outstanding ability and/or interest in analytical chemistry The awards consist of a 15-month subscription to the ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY journal and honorary membership in the Division of Analytical Chemistry The 1979 award at Aqnes Scott College has been presented to DEBBIE BOELTER. Each year CRC Press, Inc (scientific and medical publishers) presents awards to outstanding chemistry students at participating colleges and universities. The awards, con- sisting of a copy of the CRC HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS and a commemorative scroll, are given in recognition of outstanding achievement in chemistry dur- ing the freshman year. The CRC award for the 1 978-79 academic year at Agnes Scott College has been presented to GAYLE THOMAS November 5, 1979 The Profile Page 5 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.

These Scotties show 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.

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.

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.

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 Pretlow, with a set up by Amy Potts. Agnes Scott will bully with the U. of the South again in a home game on October 23. 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. Classifieds WANTED: Housesitter. Months of January-March, while owners are out of the country. Large collie dog, two cats.

January 14. 1980 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. Perry Jr. announced Friday. The college must raise $750,- 000 in the next three years to 222 Million Ame U.S. 1980 Census ricans 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, Continued on page 8 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.

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.

It looks like Winter Weekend will be exciting, so everyone grab a partner and dust off your dan- cing shoesl 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.

NW) January 14, 1980 The Profile Page 3 features Women Leaders: Marianne Kaufman demonstrates self-defense techniques that she will teach in a serf-defense workshop in the Agnes Scott Gymnasium on January 19 and 20. Photograph by Pat Amzen. 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. The Profile has traditionally recognized the successes and Continued on page 4 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."

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 usually brings visitors from out- Six Flags, Inc.

Connected with the Collo- quium is a course, Philosophy 310. This is intended for those who wish to study the background of the topic of the Colloquium in sufficient depth to be able to gain the most profit 'from the distinguished speakers to the campus. Each speaker submits a bibliography of readings to the instructor; these bibliographies, as well as background chosen by the instructor, form the material for the course.

Women on Top Continued from page 3 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.

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.

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 Walter Hill Film Series Saturday, January 19, 8 p.m. After the Thin Man (1936: 112 minutes) is probably the funniest of the series.

All showings will be in the Walter Hill Auditorium 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.

Page 8 The Profile January 14, 1980 sports 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. CAMBODIA IS DYING TSave the Children Westport, Connecticut 06880 ********* 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. * ***** GA.

Pippert, UPI reporter at the White House and author of the book "The Spiritual Journey of Jimmy Carter," is a guest speak for "Focus on Faith". Joining Pippert as a guest speaker is his wife Rebecca Man ley Pippert, national con- sultant on evangelism for Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship. They are speaking and leading discussions on the mission of the church, the theme for this winter's "Focus on Faith" seminar. Public sessions of "Focus on Faith" are Jan. 20, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m. in Winship, Sponsored by Christian Association, the "Focus on Faith" sessions are free. 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 reporter on Watergate and the Carter campaign, is the author of numerous articles and several 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" (1973), rated by Eternity magazine as one of the 25 most significant books for the evangelical audience that year. Pippert holds local preacher credentials with the United Methodist Church and has served as a lay pastor in 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! Methodist Churches in South 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 .

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.

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 o rga n i zed a prog ra m f o r m ino r ity women. Sherry Lansing transferred from a small production com- pany to MGM and then to Columbia Pictures where she is currently senior vice president of production.

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. new Canadian Prime Minister; she is also a graduate of the University of Ottawa Law School and is currently preparing to practice as an attorney.

Atlanta women, their triumphs and traditions, step into the spotlight as the Atlanta Historical Society presents a major new exhibition ATLANTA WOMEN FROM MYTH TO MODERN TIMES, opening Sunday, February 10, 1 980, in the James M. Cox Gallery, McElreath Hall. This multi-faceted exhibition depicts the collective experiences of Atlanta women, both black and white, from the pioneer days of the 1 840s to the post-war modernization of the 1950s. Their domestic, educational, cultural, organizational, and professional roles throughout Atlanta's his- tory are portrayed through costume, photographs and memorabilia. ATLANTA WOMEN FROM MYTH TO MODERN TIMES represents the first comprehensive look at the accomplishments of local women since the renowned 1 895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Pied- mont Park. The current exhibit is inspired in design and theme by the Woman's Building of the Cotton States Exposition, which housed displays of nineteenth century female ingenuity, providing Continued on page 6 nusbands' shadows." Norma Paulua was once an office secretary, now she is Oregon's Secretary of State. An honor law student, Ms. Paulus practiced until she was elected to the Oregon House. Now some say she is the future governor of Oregon. Alice Peurala is the current president of Chicago Steelworkers Local 65. In 1967 she filed a sex discrimination suit and won the promotion she felt she deserved. She is one of the first women to file such a suit; now her occupation allows her to fight against dis- crimination versus women and minorities. Elisabeth Swados has written a broadway hit, The Runaways and two ballets. The prolific writer is currently work- ing on four films, two television specials, a symphonic piece and two books. She is only 27. Sarah Ragle Weddington was the President's chief ad- visor on women's issues. She will continue to work for the same causes in her new role as Assistant to the President, in which she hopes to work for a world where "men and women work together." The Journal also named 12 other "promising leaders of the future. Included in the list was Dianne L. McKaig, Vice President of consumer affairs of the Atlanta Coca-Cola Company. "Critics are saying that the status of women has never been altered as dramatically as it was in the 70's. On the other hand, expected changes did happen. Great strides were made, but. . .The 1980's will inherit a lot of unfinished business." (The St. Louis Globe- Democrat) 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.

P9 4 The Profile January 21, 1980 arts/entertainment Larsen's Side 1 1 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. "Surprise" Movie Shown In Agnes Scoff Film Series Guess what's showing at Anes Scott College Jan. 24?

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. Continued from page 3 These materials are com- plemented by articles on loan from Agnes Scott and Spelman Colleges, the High Museum of Art, the Museum of History and Technology of the Smithsonian Institute, the Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, local women's organizations, and groups and individuals throughout the U.S. In conjunction with ATLANTA WOMEN FROM MYTH TO MODERN TIMES, the Atlanta Historical Society is offering a series of special publications and programs: a 72-page illus- trated catalogue sponosred by the Atlanta Forward Arts Foun- dation; a special "Atlanta Women" issue of the Atlanta Historical Journal; a women's studies symposium; and dis- covery tours for students sam- pling the changing lifestyles in Atlanta from 1840 to 1950.

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.

ALMAND, JR., Photographer 296-7638 p*g*6 Th Profit January 21, 1980 sports 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.

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.

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 by Julie Babb 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 staffer at the White House. Rebecca Pippert is a con- sultant for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. Page 2 The Profile editorials January 28. 1980 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, Committe for a Bell in Presser- Ga ines January 28, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 letters 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. Lee Kite 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?

Page 4 The Profile January 28, 1 980 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.

January 28, 1980 The Profile Page 5 features 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! Burlette Carter 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.

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. January 28, 1980 The Profile Page 7 sports 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. JOCKEY SHORTS Mary Ebbinger has arms up on the defense. Basketball games are held every Monday night. Athletic Association is plan- ning their quarterly outing tothe Omni. The members plan to take interested students ice-skating. Further information is provided with the sign-up sheet in the mailroom. 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. Classes clash again this quarter in the quarterly swim meet. The tentative date is Wednesday, Feb. 27. The opening games of the in- tramural basketball season were played January 22.

Studio Dance Theater is spon- soring another Master Class this quarter. On January 29, Tom Pazik, assistant artistic director of the Atlanta Ballet, will be instructing Studio Dance Theater members. Mr. Pazik has been critically acclaimed for his choreography throughout the nation, and in 1 979, he was one of seven finalists out of 260 en- tries in the Boston Choreographers Competition. For the Atlanta Ballet, his works include Catherine, Great Scott, Peter and the Wolf, Tough and Go, Cry Without A Sound, Scherzo, No Sunrise Finds Us, Trio, Tzigane, Firebird, and the nationally acclaimed, Cinderella. Since Mr. Pazik hoined the Atlanta Ballet in 1970, he has also conceived and executed the "History of the Dance" lecture demonstration presented by the Atlanta Ballet from coast to coast, choreographed works for the Joffery II Company in New York, for the Boston Ballet, and for two Metropolitan Opera productions during the 1 977-78 season. Studio Dance Theater members are looking forward to Tom Pazik's Master Class, and are anticipating another produc- tive quarter. 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. What happens in a week? A lot, according to ASC's first externs Choosing a placement with the editor of Southern Accents, Mary Anne Hill '80 attended a press preview of Christmas at Callanwolde, proofed copy, wrote captions, assisted in finalizing layout and actually edited and rewrote articles. She also rode MARTA 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 agency. Besides working in 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. "Not too long ago I was speechless. Now I'm teaching Ben how to talk'.'

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 have to live in steady-state societies governed by radically different values and by unyield- ing ecological limits." Mr. Steven Haworth, political scientist at Agnes Scott, explained the basis for his public short course, "Politics and the Impending Age of Scarcity." In the course participants will analyze the political implications of the multi-dimensional en- vironmental crisis. Classes will meet for four consecutive Thursdays begin- ning Feb. 7.

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.

It's called the Alliance Studio Series, a pilot program of four plays that are riskier than the Alliance mainstage fare in language, in theatrical form and in content. The studio is an important resource for the artistic growth of the Alliance, and is designed for a dual-purpose. To uncover promising new scripts and develop them into coherent form. To nurture and encourage growth in the actors, directors and designers of Atlanta. The play VISIONS by Louis Nowra will open the Studio Season.

The sets and cos- tumes are exquisite and authen- tic, excellently rendering the feel of mid-1 9th century New England. The autumn coun- tryside is lovely, but there is excessive concentration upon it. Also to be commended is Vick most adventurous playwrights. VISIONS is set in the Paraguay of the 1860's, during the bloodiest conflict in Latin American history. It recalls the crumbling hope of civilized life, and the corrupt politics which turn a nation to self-destruction. Nowra 's characters remind one of Lord and Lady Macbeth in their obsessive hunger for power.

NATIONAL POETRY PRESS Box 218 Agoura, Ca. 91301 Alliance Theatre Launches Exciting Season Arts Events "Thing of Beauty" A Joy Forever February 4, 1 980 j The Profile Page 3 features 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 "Women And Mortgage Credit" Workshop Set "Women and Mortgage Credit," a workshop for women on the basics of credit and homebuying, will be held Saturday, Feb. 9, at Agnes Scott College. Admission to this daylong workshop is free, but all participants must register ahead of time. To register, call the Agnes Scott Women's Center at 373-2571, extension 365. The "Women and Mortgage Credit" workshop will focus on housing options, advantages and disadvantages of homeownership, alternate mortgage financing and the step-by-step procedures of ac- quiring a home loan. The workshop will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Film Room of But : trick Hall. The Agnes Scott workshop is one of a series being held throughout the Atlanta area as part of a project funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The HUD 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 wife, Barabara, and five children have been busy campaigning in Texas, New England, and Iowa. Their son, George, 33, ran un- successfully for the U.S. House in 1 978 from Texas in a featured congressional battle. Other children are Jeb, 26; Neil, 24; Marvin, 22; and Dorothy, 20.

She said that she is also involved in "developing legislation pertaining to victim restitution." Ms. Stevenson said that she really doesn't look at herself as the first woman in a statewide office. "I'm too busy trying to do things," she said (The State, Sept. 30, 1979). What's in Ms. Stevenson's future? Some speculatethat she will campaign for governor. Indeed, she is enthusiastic about politics. "I would certainly encourage other women to enter the political arena," she said.

The music department of Agnes Scott College invites music students to compete for $1,000 music scholarships for the 1980-81 academic year. Interested vocalists and instrumentalists should either subm it tapes of their performances or arrange for auditions on the Agnes Scott campus prior to April 1. The selection of performance material is left to the students' discretion. The deadline for sub- mission of the scholarship ap- plication and tape or audition is April 1. Telephone inquiries should be made to the Office of Ad- missions at 373-2571, exten- sion 325. Scholarship applicants should ask for regular admission forms and specific information on scholarships. Agnes Scott offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in music and a music curriculum for both majors and nonmajors. The music curriculum is strong in theory, history, appreciation and individualized training in applied music taught by faculty that in- cludes members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Private and group instruction is offered in voice, piano, organ, harpsichord, woodwinds, strings and guitar. Ensembles and clubs open to students in- clude the Glee Club, Madrigal Singers, Baroque Ensemble, Opera Workshop, Flute Ensem- ble, Woodwind Quintet, Organ Guild and the London Fog, a jazz vocal group. Supplementing the music currirulum is a full calendar of music activities including concerts by students, faculty and guest artists of national prominence such as the Guarneri String Quartet and the Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber Orchestra. 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. Page 4 The Profile editorials February 4, 1 980 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 have dreamed possible. The Temperance Committee 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 Stye f rofik Agnes ^cott (EnlUge - Secatur, (Georgia THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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 watching the debate on T.V. Letters to the Editor 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- ding on the part of all who are 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. Sincerely, Marie Huper Pepe 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. - Pat Arnzen 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. - Connie L. Tuttle February 4, 1 980 The Profile Page 5 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.

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. ^ Kemper's Korner Spring quarter seem distant to us now, but preparations for spr- ing quarter elections have already begun.

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! A career in law without law school.

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. Gompus Paperback bestsellers 1.

Jffebruarn 11.1980 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 song Becky wrote about her 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 munchkms and they announced results of the senior-faculty raf- fle at the talent show. Some of the raffle items were a dozen roses from Mr. Brown, dessert for five from Mollie Merrick, a keg party from the Haworths and a happy hourfromthe registrar's office. Donations for this project reached $275. The freshman class did small chores for other students for 25C. 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.

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 69 UNDECIDED 7 2 Are you in favor of a peacetime draft? YES 79 NO 87 UNDECIDED . Do you think women should have to register? YES 79 NO 68 UNDECIDED 31 Regardless of what this unscien- tific survey shows, or fails to* show, these are the questions that all of us should be asking ourselves. . while we still have 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.

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 Raffle Results! by Mary Anne Hill The Senior Class raised $275 for the United Methodist Children's Home, with what has become a traditional part of Junior Jaunt. . the an- nual raffle.

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 from Jan. 1, 1978 to April 30, Continued on page 5 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." Page 4 The Profile February 1 1, 1980 arts /entertainment "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 But Scotties if you decide to be daring, take my advice and leave the corduroy skirts and turtle necks at Scott Limelight: Disco Wonderland "Annabelle Broom" For Kids And Adults Howdoesa middle-aged witch keep young?

February 11. 1980 The Profile 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.

Thank you, The Mailroom Staff 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. More details are available from the Savannah Convention & Visitors Bureau, 301 W. Broad St., Savannah 31 401 (phone AC 912/233-6651). 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. (Source U.S. News and World Report, July 30, 1979.) Kemper's Korner 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! Savannah Nights Weekend Retreat Baker Continued from page 3 Page 6 The Profile February 1 1, 1980 sports 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 by Ann Conner 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. Continued from page 2 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. My thanks to all for your patience in reading this laborious expression of my innermost self andtoThe Profile for publishing it Nina Bass RTC '78 '79 Young Republicans There will be an organizational meeting of the AGNES SCOTT YOUNG REPUBLICANS on Feb 13, at 7:00 P.M. in the hub Anyone interested in politics is welcome to come! If you have any questions, call Marcia Whetsel, 377- 8268 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. 3rd Annual Rockdale Heart Fund Road Race Saturday Feb. 23, 1980. ..9:45 a.m. 5 Mile Race 10:00 A.M. 1 Mile Novice 9:45 A.M.

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." H0I. EXIO tfa. 13 Agnes >cott (Mlege - Secatur, (Sa. Jchruara 25. 1980 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.

To all of you who faithfully showed for the Silhouette picture, thanks for maki ng us look good anyway. To S.G.A., MANY thanks for 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!)

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. Agnes S>cntt (Enllege - Decatur, (Senrgia THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College .

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. Today Feb. 25 Has Been Designated Faculty Appreciation Day 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). Ellen Anderson February 26, 1980 The Profile Page 3 Ma liar me, Rimbaud and Modern Eclecticism by Martha Sheppard Dr. James Lawler, Professor of French at the University of Chicago, visited the campus February 5 and lectured on the topic of "French Poetry Today." Born in Melbourne, Australia, Dr. Lawler taught there at the University for 16 years before Kemper's Korner 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.

Spring Brings Alumna by Nicole Pretlow Agnes Scott College is honored to welcome alumna Martine W. Brownley to the campus this Spring, as a visiting professor to the English Department. Miss Brownley graduated from Agnes Scott with a B.A. degree and highest honors in 1969. During her four years at the college, Ms. Brownley dis- tinguished herself as a Presidential Scholar, Merit Scholar, and a perennial Stukes Scholar. She was also accepted into Phi Beta Kappa, and was President of the Student Government. Continuing her education at Harvard University, Ms. Brownley obtained ooth her M.A. and Ph.D degrees in the subject area of English Literature from 1660-1825. Since 1975, Miss Brownley has been credited with many subsequent achievements, in- cluding the AAUW Recognition Award for Young Scholars in 1978. Miss Brownley is currently the assistant professor of English at Emory University. She teaches literature courses pertaining to authors of the 18th and 19th century. "Johnson and His Age" will be the course topic of Ms. Brownley's class at Agnes Scott this spring. Listed as English 328, the course is five credit hours. (Pre-requisite listed in College catalogue.) Page 4 The Profile February 25, 1980 arts/entertainment 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 , by Laramie Larten 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. Hawaiian shirts perform. Upcoming concerts at the Agora are: the Dirt Band, Feb. 20; Iggy Pop, Feb. 23; The Romantics and Lena Lovich, Feb. 27; and Muddy Waters, Mar. 1 . 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. Flipsides: "Mother's Finest Live" Tight and Never Sloppy Larsen'sSide: "Being There" is Really There February 25, 1980 The Profile Page 5 features Edward Kennedy 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. Sen. Edward Kennedy President Jimmy Carter 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 leading his major opponent for the Democratic nomination by about two to one and is preferred above GOP hopefuls Bush, Reagan, and Baker by at least two to one. The major question is why the American public is sup- 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." Continued on page b 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 Continued on page 8 Page 6 The Profile February 25, 1980 "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 Theatre of Agnes Scott College Friday, Feb. 29. The concert is free and will begin at 1 1 :30 a.m. in Pressor Hall. Only 200 seats are left, so reservations are required and can be made by calling 373 1701. The "Star Wars" dance will feature Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader and R2D2 with a supporting cast of Storm Troopers, the other dances are entitled "Electro- dribblers," 'The Clowns,'' "Animals" and "Dance, Dance, 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 Atlanta singer and songwriter John Berry, des- cribed as "an early Kenny Loggins," will perform in concert Thursday, Feb. 28, at Agnes Scott College in Winter Theatre at 8:00 PM. Admission is $2.50 at the door. Berry performs his own songs and those of artists Jackson Browne, the Doobie brothers, Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan. He has recorded his own songs, with titles such as "Call Me Crazy," "Guitar Picker" and 'The Master," on the album "Humble Beginnings." In concert, Berry plays guitar and is backed by Perry Barton on keyboards, Jim Pruitt on bass, Michael Tyrrell "on electric guitar and Mark Ensley on drums. EE DDE EDQCE ED HE 3QE E3EJG El (DEE 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. February 25 1980 The Profile Page 7 The Other Cheek "pities < &c0tt IGike A Georgia Moan" The Real Story Behind The Draft by Marcia Whetsel and Cameron Bennett STOPI If you value your future, take a few moments to read this thought provoking article. Have you ever wondered what would really happen if women are drafted? 1. No hair dryers or curling irons or make-up on the front. (And we would have to wear those ugly patent leather shoesl) 2. Who wa nts to I ie around in ditches with rats? 3. We will see the disappearance of war brides and see a new social structure based on "war husbands." I can pic- ture it now - bringing my Afghanistanian husband home to meet Mom and Dad. "Daddy, this is Amud. He has no skills, but we are happy. Do you have any berries or goat milk in the house?" 4. Remember the war babies? Remember the troops that went to war boys and came back dad- dies? The poor native males will be burdened by 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. r= i n i =i m i =i n Campus Happening On Friday, September 3, 1 981 - Reverend James Jones will speak on 'The Necessity of Martyrdom in the Modern Church" in Gaines Chapel at 8:15 p. m.

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 bills. 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. Presidential Opinion Poll ( This poll is being taken by Ross Cheney, a senior political science major, for Political Science 394.

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."

Cunningham has been named to the William Rand Kenan, Jr. Professorship in chemistry at Agnes Scott College in suburban Atlanta, Ga. Chairman of the Agnes Scott chemistry department since 1978, Dr. Cunningham was named to the Kenan Profes- sorship this year by the Agnes Scott board of trustees. The chair was endowed in 1969 by the William Rand Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust of New York "to support a scholar-teacher of dis- tinction whose enthusiasm for learning, commitment to teaching, and interest in students will make- a notable contribution to the Agnes Scott community." Dr. Cunningham is. the third person to hold this chair. The two previous incumbents were Dr. W. Joe Frierson also a native Arkansan, and the late Dr. Marion T. Clark, both chairman of the chemistry department at different times. Dr. Cunningham earned her B.A. degree from the University of Arkansas and her Ph.D. in chemistry from Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. She first came to Agnes Scott as a visiting assistant professor in 1966 and joined the full-time faculty in 1968. She teaches courses in advanced analytical and physical chemistry and conducts research in biochemical analysis and electrochemistry. A member of numerous professional societies, she is especially active in the American Chemical Society, in which she has served as chairman of the Georgia Sec- tion, secretary of the Division of Analytical Chemistry and a member of the representative Council. She is a member of the American Association of the Ad- vancement of Science, the Georgia Academy of Science, the Electrochemical Society and the American Association of University Professors. She has also been elected to membership in two honorary societies, Sigma Xi, which honors research achievements, and lota Sigma Pi, an honorary for women in chemistry.

Law School 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, Newtown, Pa. 18940. Scoff Movie Location. .Again Agnes Scott will be the site of several scenes in Universal Pic- tures' production of Alan Alda's The Four Seasons. The crew and cast will be on campus for approximately two days, April 14-16. They will be located in Winship lobby for makeup, dres- sing rooms, and wardrobe. The filming will take place in front of the Infirmary and on the edge of the hockey field. Mr. Alda wrote The Four Seasons, is directing it, and starring in it. Mel Metz of nnnnn Universal Pictures is the producer. Cast members include Bess Armstrong, Carol Burnett, Lew Cariou, Rita Moreno, and Jack Weston.

KALEIDOSCOPE '80 is a special event sponsored by the Admissions Office solely for those who have applied to Agnes Scott College. This year the event will be held on April 10 and 1 1 , during which time our guests will spend a night on campus, have a chance to see Atlanta, and sit in on classes. These two days give the applicants a chance to become acquainted with life here at Scott, both in and out of the clas- sroom. In order to make our visitors feel at home and give them a taste of drom life, beds are needed. For those who serve as loan-a-beds, linen will be available if it is so desired. Guides are also needed to assist applicants in getting to and from classes and activities. Martha Sheppard and Beth Daniel arethe co- chairpersons for KALEIDOSCOPE '80. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact them or drop by the Admissions Office. divorce. The scenes are fall snots. Cosmetic changes will be made in the areas of filming. Floral paint will be sprayed on leaves and trees will be imported. The shots will be taken looking down on the Infirmary from Walters Dorm. Designated areas will be set aside for those students who wish to watch the filming. The Georgia Film Commission suggested Agnes Scott College, along with Columbia Theological Seminary and Brenau College. Scott was chosen as the only Atlanta location. This is the third film to be shot on campus. A Man Called Peter in 1954 and The Double McGuffin in 1978 are the others. Page 2 The Profile March 31, 1980 editorials 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 Students Make Excellent Navigators "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. Julius Staal 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.

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.

March 31, 1980 The Profile Page 3 features 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. Page 4 The Profile March 31, 1980 arts /entertainment Russian Ballet Star To Perform In Charleston, S.C. Charleston, S.C. - Aleksandr Godunov, the renowned Rus- sian ballet star who defected to America last summer, will perform at the Dance Gala dur- ing the May 23 - June 8 Spoleto Festival U.S.A. in historic Charleston, S.C. Godunov will be joined by a number of other internationally prominentdance stars inthetwo performances of the Festival's tival's Dance Gala on May 31 and June 1 . Making the an- nouncement at an afternoon 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. Arts and Crafts Entrants Sought The first annual Paul D' Cob' Arts and Crafts Festival (Paulding, Douglas and Cobb Counties) will be held May 24 and 25, at the Dallas Golf and Country Club in Hiram, Georgia. The festival will be an outdoor event which should attract over 1 00 exhibitors. A search for artists, craftsmen, entertainers, and demonstrators throughout Northwest Georgia, Eastern Alabama, and Southern Tennessee, is underway to participate in the festival. Any skilled person who has a skill in any of the arts is encouragedto attend. People who can do woodwork, needlework, ceramics, macrame, metalwork, sculpture, painting, tole work, quilting, silk flower arranging, china painting, porcelain doll making, handmade dolls and animals, or any other hand crafted products, is invited to come and display his craft.

All interested artists, craftsmen, people with unusual skills to demonstrate, please contact: John C. McGee, Paul D' Cob Arts and Crafts Festival, 541 Hardee Street, Dallas, Ga. 30132. Telephone 445-9930 or 445-5524 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. Complete program and ticket information is available free of charge by contacting Spoleto Festival U.S.A., P.O. Box 704, Charleston, S.C. 29402 (803) 722-2764. '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 plans as soon as possible.

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.

Sincerely, Ha Burdette, Chairman Honor Court Ha Burdette April 7, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 Music education program instituted 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."

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.

Association of American Publishers Have you ever wanted to sail the South Pacific, climb moun- 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.

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 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.

April 7, 1 980 The Profile Page 5 features 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. The Agnes Scott College Spr- ing Film Series will continue Tuesday, April 15 with 2 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. For futher information, write to: 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 ." Denmark Study Offered Page 6 The Profile April 7, 1 980 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).

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. Steven Haworth 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. -Mary Beth Hebert Associate Editor Applications for Resident Assistants Applications for Resident Assistants must be made before Friday April 25 The position is open to rising juniors or seniors.

Haworth Laments Murder April 14, 1980 The Profile 4 Page 3 features 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 for the Library of Congress. She writes short stories and poetry She gave the audience a preview of her latest short story, "The Reflection." Agnes Scott students Donna Adams, Rebecca Burtz, Carol Colbe, Cynthia Evans, Jane Quillman and Karen Webster participated in the student read- ing held April 3. Participants from area Georgia colleges in- cluded Robert Bradley, Joe Capolino, Jenny Mittelman. Gloria Raley, Philip Rodgers, Michael Shephard, Teresa Sumrall and Robin Wagner.

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 Tommy Lee Jones as Doo, Continued on page 5 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. in Buttrick Hall Film Room. Ad- mission is $1 .00. In "Ship of Fools," directed and produced by Stanley Kramer, a passenger ship becomes representative of the entire world in the pre-World War II days of 1933. The cast in- 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 the New York Film Critics Award for Best Actor, and Michael Dunn's performance as a philosophizing dwarf won the the Academy Award for Best Male Supporting Role. Next in the Agnes Scott College Film Series will be "An American in Pans," starring Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and Os- car Levant, for two showings, April 20 and 22. April 14, 1980 Larsen'sSide: by Laramie Larsen and "Disco" Fender 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 The Profile Page 5 Band Spreads Energy 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 CITYWIDE BYRAMONA DE SADE Spring in Atlanta brings us more than blossoming dogwoods and azaleas; concerts, festivals, and the like are common. Tickets went on sale last week for the GRATEFUL DEAD'S April 29 performance. FRANK ZAPPA will be at the Fox on April 20, and THE J. GEILS BAND will be there on April 30. HEART will be in the Omni on May 7, and THE WHO play the Omni July 19. On April 26, 96 Rock will present the "Rock and Roll Marathon" in the Omni. For a mere $6.96, one may enjoy the music of four (that's right, four) groups; MOTHER'S FINEST, FRANK MERINO AND MAHOGANY RUSH, HUMBLE PIE, and ANGEL. For those who prefer the club atmosphere, there is no lack of entertainment. The Agora Ballroom (on Peachtree across from the Fox) usually features top entertainment, including local bands as well as nationally recognized groups such as Iggy Pop (April 1 1 ), the Dixie Dregs (Apr. 26), and Graham Nash (May 6.) The Downtown Cafe in little five points (corner of Virginia and Highland) spotlights an interesting variety of entertainment. From Jazz Por- jection, an Atlanta band) to the fun Texas swing sound (Omar and the Howlers), the Downtown Cafe has brought quality entertainment to the Ponce area. Caps Tavern at Toco Hills offers live entertainment along with a wonderful beer selection at reasonable prices, and it is nearby as well. Other Atlanta nightclubs in- clude Flynn's (Roswell Rd. at I- 285), Flynn's II (Memorial Drive at I-285), The Harvest Moon Saloon ("Never a cover" - Pied- mont at Lindbergh), P.O.E.T.S. Corner (Roswell Rd. in Buck head), Uncle Tom's Tavern (Memorial Dr. in Stone Moun- tain), and Little Five Points Pub (1 174 Euclid Ave.) excellently done with out overpowering the performance. The sound was crisp and tight. Doug Gray's distinctive vocals were right on target, as always. His voice can be plaintive, bellowing or melodious, depen- ding on the tune. Jerry Eubanks on flute and saxophone made the show for me. His work was haunting at times, atothertimes happy and floating. Paul Riddle on drums was excellent as well. It was clear that the band takes their music seriously enough to make it consistently outstan- ding, yet they still have a lot of fun. The slides on the backdrop changed to add to the feeling of the show, from a silhouette of a woman to a desert scene to a racing stagecoach It was understated but effective. "Daughter" Continued from page 4 Loretta's husband, is equally good. Jones and Spacek play well together. Levon Helm as Loretta's hardworking father and Phyllis Boyens as hur mother have small quiet roles which they perform with a strength which is almost chilling. Beverly D'Angelo is Loretta's friend and mentor Patsy Cline, whose influence and charm Miss D'Angelo handles with beautiful sub- tlety. Although the story is predictable, it moves quickly and surely throughout. The end comes almost too soon. After seeing the movie, Loretta Lynn was asked if she would change anything about it "I'd make it longer," she said, and laughed. So would I Graduate Finance Plan Buy Now 1st Payment Due In 4 Months!

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. Lil Easterlin and Emily Hill (right) prepare for Studio Dance Theatre's Kaleidoscope '80. Lil is the daughter of Mr. and Mr. W.F. Easterlin, Jr. of Louisville, Ga.

"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.

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?

Except, apparently, a press party was held Friday evening ax President and Mrs. Perry's house. Not one representative from the Agnes Scott press (The Profile) was invited, so we can not bring the campus further coverage of what was perhaps 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. Sara L.

BE SILHOUETTED IN THE 1981 YEARBOOK! Silhouette meeting to organize new staff Monday, April 21 6:30 P.M. Rebekah Reception Room Open to all students interested in photography, copy writing, graph ics and art work, and layout design - Viewpoints - The Prez Sez: Page 3 The Profile April 21, 1980 features 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 there are to participate in the 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.

Masters Beckoned by Laura McCrary Amidst brightly colored sun- dresses and sportscoats in yellow, pink, and the ever- popular "Augusta Green," out- shone only by the brilliant azaleas and dogwoods in full- bloom, a golf tournament oc- curred in Augusta last weekend. This tournament, which has gained the reputation as the most prestigious in the world, is the Masters, where an international array of golfers, in attendance by invitation only, compete for the coveted Green Jacket. The Augusta National greeted the golfers and thousands of Fans whose enthusiasm never waned during the four days of tournament play.

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!!!

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!" Phi Beta Kappa Initiates by Lee Kite On Wednesday, April 30, the following seniors will be initiated into the Beta of Georgia chapter, Phi Beta Kappa: Patricia Anne Arzen, Dorthea Bliss En- slow, Sarah Ann Fairburn, Maile Ann Frank, Cynthia Marie Hampton, Lygia Roz Hooper, Cynthia Jane Huff, Dawn Sparks, Teresa Lee Lass, Jen- nifer Lynn Spencer, and Susan Marie Tucker. Election to membership is based on several criteria; among 1 9 - The Magic Number them is grade point ratio. The electors are the ASC faculty and staff who themselves belong to Phi Beta Kappa. The names were announced at convocation last Wednesday. The speaker was Martine Brownly, '69, Assistant Profes- sor of English, Emory University, and Visiting Assistant Professor of English, Agnes Scott. She, also, is a member of the Beta of Georgia chapter and was in- ducted eleven years ago. Her topic was "An Agnes Scott Education After a Decade". Phi Beta Kappa encourages and recognizes out-standing scholarly achievement of undergraduate and graduate students in the liberal arts.

Anyone who reads The Profile and would like for it to continue to be published please fill out the short form below and drop it in the box in the mailroom. If, for some reason, you would prefer not to cut up your Profile, a 3x5 index card will suffice. This survey was inspired by a recent Profile meeting which only one person actually attended (outside of the editors). Two people dropped off articles and one picked up an as- signment. It must be understood that these meetings are open to the student body, as everyone should well know by now. In case it isn't obvious, it is virtually impossible to produce a six page newspaper with only 4 articles and a couple ads. As a matter of fact, we considered not producing a paper at all. I am not a masochist, but I am willing to try and put together a decent newspaper for a little longer. Pleasel If anyone cares, let us know. It is very frustrating to spend so many hours on something and not have anyone appreciate it. Thanks, MBH College Press Service NAME.

MLK 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 Course Selection week will be May 6 - 9 for freshmen and juniors and May 6 - 1 3 for sophomores. Instructions for course selection will be given ' at class meetings on Monday, May 5. The freshman class will meet in Maclean, the sophomore class will meet in the biology lecture room (207 Campbell), and the junior class will meet in Gaines Chapel. All students who are plan- ning to return next fall are expected to attend their class meetings. Dean Hudson will meet with the freshman class, Dean Petty with the sophomore class, and Dean Gary will meet with the junior class. April 28, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 features 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 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. The clash between Mods and Is murder an Honor Court offense? See APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH to find out if Hercule Poirotturns inthe villainto lla Burdettel 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. BAKED GOODS FOR ANY OCCASION ASCExam Documentary The award-winning World War II film "From Here to Eternity" will show Monday and Tuesday, April 28 and 29 at Agnes Scott College at 7 p.m. in Buttrick Hall Film Room. Ad- mission is $1 .00. Set in Hawaii just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, "From Here to Eternity" 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 canteen hostess. Directed by Fred Zinneman and based on the best-selling novel "From Here to Eternity," the film won Best Picture awards from the Academy, New York Film Critics and the Screen Directors Guild. The Agnes Scott College Film Series will continue May 5 and 6 with "The Beggar's Opera" and conclude its spring season May 1 4 with one showing of "A Tale of Two Cities." 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 Jeanie Lewis at 873-2518 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 April 18, 1980 The Profile Page 6 College Graduate Finance Plan Buy iVotr 1st Payment Due In 4 Months!

Emory Village OFFER EXPIRES MAY 31. 1980 Page 6 The Profile Aprfl 28, 1980 sports 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." ASC vs. West Georgia College Inserni v. Stevenson ASC 6-4 6-1 Markwalter v. Weaver WGC 3-6 3-6 Gentil v. Donahue ASC 6-3 5-7 6-4 Kiefer v.

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 this is not the Christmas Carol!). Mrs. Darling does not "stop until she gets enough" and she does not allow the class to stop for a breather either. But the motive behind Aerobic dancing is to keep going and get your heart rate above 1 50 Aerobic Dancing works! Mrs Darling found that 90% of her winter quarter class improved at least one category, mainly from category II to Category III!! place. Events of competition were the 40 yard freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, the 80 yard individual medley, medley relay, freestyle relay, and the comic relay. Good job Boy Scouts! The other member of this "dependable trio" is the cunning blond, Kathy Fulton. "She is the most steady player on the team," boasts Miss Messick. "She is a backboard. She returns every shot deep in the court, and outlasts her opponent in hitting and endurance." Kathy manages to remain cool and calm throughout each point, combining skill and psychology to totally frustrate her opponent. Miss Fulton's overall winning percentage is 66% - she has won 4 games and lost 2. Yet, one loss Kathy was playing the #1 position, and her other loss was marathon match which lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. Kathy just would not give up. These three gals have been very successful with theirtennis career so far this year and deserve much recognition Dolphin Club Dolphin Club has added three new guppies to the school Let's give a "fin" to Mary Ebinger, Ann Luke, and Merry Winter. 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.

Rebekah Otoe profile Agnes ^cott College - Secatur, Georgia Ulag 12, 1980 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 N^ Inside: CBS Unfairto Gays p. 2 Review of the Drinking Policy p.3 Interview With Oldest Alum... M Broken English p.5 Softball Wind Up p. 8 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 The Atlanta Chamber Players, cited in The New York Times for their "unusual success," will perform their annual spring concert at Agnes Scott College Tuesday, May 13 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. The public is in- vited, free of charge. The program will feature Franz Schubert's 'Trio in B-flat Major, Opus 99" for violin, cello 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 Music, former member of the Arioso Quintette of New York and a frequent performer with the Atlanta Symphony Orches- tra. The eight regular members of the Atlanta Chamber Players are Melanie Cramer, flute; Robert Brown, clarinet; Joseph Seidel, oboe; Anne E. Page, violin; Marian Kent, viola; Dorothy Hall Lewis, cello; Scott Douglas, percussion and Paula Peace, piano. Since their founding in 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 Touring Program for performance tours of the Southeast. 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. Atlanta Chamber Players Young Republicans Encourage Voting by Marcia Whetsel ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE? The Agnes Scott College Young Republicans took a ran- dom poll of 100 students last week in the dining hall to see what percentage were registered to vote. Our of 100 students, 66 were registered and 34 were not registered. If you are not registered to vote in your home state, you need to do this over the summer in order to vote in the presidential election this fall.

Page 2 The Profile editorials May 12, 1980 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 CA Project by Sheila Rogers The CA Bangladesh project was a success says Julie Babb, Service Off-Campus chairman.

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. Editor's note: A gay bar was burned down in Atlanta one night after the report aired. Arson is suspected. IT'& caU-ep a Time 'CAPSULE, g>oM.

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, June Derby Class of '82 May 1 2, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 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!

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 Society Inducts by Jodie Jeffrey Phi Sigma Tau, the honorary philosophy society, is proud to announce the addition of three new members. They are Rebecca Burtz, Mary Beth Hebert, and Wooi Yi Tan. Rebec- ca, a senior, and Mary Beth, a junior, were inducted during Winter Quarter in February ceremony. Wooi Yi, also a junior, was inducted during Spring Quarter in a ceremony on April 8. In order to be inducted all three had to have an average above B in three philosophy courses and to be in the top 35% of their respective classes.

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. "Philosophy & Feminism" Lecture Thought-Provoking by Connie Tuttle Dr. Linda Bell, of Georgia State University, lectured on "Philosophy and Feminism" 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.

May 1 2, 1 980 The Profile Page 5 arts/entertainment 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, AAAA* By Cameron Bennett The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie will open in the Neighborhood Playhouse in the North DeKalb Mall on May 8. The play is being directed by Sherry Cawley. Agnes Scott freshman Susan Boyd is a member of the cast. The Mousetrap is an excellent play and has been on the London stage since its open- ing in 1952. The tickets are $2 .50 for students and $3.50 for adults. Come with a group of ten and you'll get $1 .00 off the price of your ticket. If you would like more information, call Susan Boyd at 373-5081 or drop a note in box 77. Attention, Agnes Scott Ac- tress Appears 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. Page 6 The Profile May 12, 1980 An Appointment With Death WHO HAS AN AP- POINTMENT WITH DEATH? I know how to do things with people's minds," Mrs. Boynton (right) states darkly, as her daughter Genevra looms in the background, while Monsieur Poirotfinds strange activities go- ing on at the King Solomon Hotel in Jerusalem in the Blackfriar's production of Appointment With Death. Freshman Sharmaine McNeil plays Mrs. Boynton, a family matriarch and tyrant, and sophomore Allyson Rhymes plays Genevra. Profes- sor Jack Brooking plays Mon- 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. CITYWIDE BYRAMONA DE SADE 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. CONFIDENTIAL TO Keep breaking your legs. Your SHARMAINE: Don't worry, friends - - Ugly, Magenta, your murder will be avenged. Ramona and Lunar. 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.

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. Athletic Association Notes by Lynn Stonecypher Spring quarter is almost over and summer is just around the corner! Are you in shape yet? There are a myriad of pos- sibilities for sports activities in which you can participate in with others to have fun and to get in shape: Volleyball, Softball, Tennis, and Swimming to name a few. Softball is still king of the spring sports and some fast and furious playing has been going on unnoticed. Games are from 5:00-6.00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and every one in- cluding class cheerleaders, is urged to root for the home team. Some upcoming activities to watch for are: ALL-STAR GAME AND ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ON PICNIC - MAY 14 Tennis Results ASC 7-2 Georgia College ASC 5-4 North Georgia College ASC 2-6 Berry ASC 6-3 Georgia College ASC 6-2 Tift ASC 3-6 West Georgia College ASC 4-4 DeKalb Community College (North) ASC 0-9 Emory ASC 4-5 West Georgia College ASC 7-2 Tift ASC 9-0 Georgia Southwestern ASC 0-9 Georgia Tech ASC 9-0 Georgia Southwestern ASC 8-1 North Georgia College ASC 1-8 DeKalb Community College (Central) Softball Wind Up Winship defeated Main Walters defeated Rebekah Walters defeated Main Inman, Hopkins, Day Students defeated Rebekah Winship defeated Inman, Hopkins, and Day Students Main defeated Inman, Hopkins, and Day Students Rebekah defeated Winship Winship defeated Walters 6-0 14-8 9-4 10-9 19-4 13-3 6-2 13-4 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. i 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.

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. nside Student protests nuclear energy p. 3 Women's rights discussed p. 3 Ramona visits Richard III p. 4 Notes cn John Cale's Sabotage/ Live p. 4 Softball windsdown p. 6 B0L 21X113 #0. 20 Mt Profile .

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- joyed the convenience of open by Cameron Bennett On Friday, April 1 8, the Agnes Scott College Fifty-Year Club held its first gathering.

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.

Manning Class of '83 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.

MB The Prez Sez Spring quarter is down to the wire ladies; only ten more 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! Laura 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! MLK Appearances Count When you see a fair-haired lady ambling towards you on the street and she stops to say hello 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 and beneath the honeyed tongue lives a poet, maybe, or perhaps a politician; an actress wearing clothes borrowed from Scarlett and Marilyn, and she laughs to herself 'cause she knows you're just another fast-talking fool who's fooled by appearances that count. Cynthia Evans May 19, 1980 The Profile Page 3 features 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.

The seminar included a basic overview of IV
