Scott College Alumnae As-
sociation. The noncredit con-
tinuing education seminar will

Youthgrants
Are Available

The Youthgrants program of
the National Endowment for the
Humanities will offer over 100
cash awards across the nation
this fall to young people in their
teens and early twenties, in-
cluding many college and
university students, to pursue
non-credit, out-of-the-class-
room projects in the
humanities. The deadline for
submission of completed ap-
plications is November 15.

An annotated exhibition of
20th century war-time "home-
front" activities in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, a booklet on the
history of the sheep industry in
Vermont, an anthropological
film about a Los Angeles gypsy
community, and a collection and
study of migrant-worker border
ballads in South Texas are some
of the projects that have been
undertaken by college and
university-age youth.

The grants, which offer up to
$2,500 to individuals and up to
$ 1 0,000 for groups ($ 1 5,000 for
certain high-cost media pro-

jects) are intended primarily for
those between the ages of 1 5 to
25 who have a ways to go before
completing academic or profes-
sional training. While the
program cannot provide
scholarship support or financial
aid for degree-related work, it is
the only federal program which
awards money directly to young
people for independent work in
the humanities. The humanities
include such subject areas as
history, ethnic studies, folklore,
anthropology, lingustics, and the
history of art.

If you are interested in the
program, a copy of the
guidelines should be on file at
the campus Placement Office or
the Office of Contracts and
Grants. If not, please write
before October 1 5, if you wish to
meet this year's deadline, to:

the personal and social lives and
interaction patterns of the
Turkish people.

All three lectures will be held
from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in Room 109
of the Dana Fine Arts Building.

Men Are Latest
Campus Minority

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CH) -
The good news for amorous
young college males is that
they're now outnumbered on
campus by women.

The bad news for young
college men is that a growing
proportion of these women
are age 35 or over.

A recent U.S. Census
Bureau report shows that in
1979 there were more
women than men attending
college for the first time since
World War II. The Census
reports that women com-
prised 5.9 million of the 1 1 .4
million college students
enrolled in 1979.

Among students under age
35, however, males and
females are equal in number
at about 5 million each. Twice
as many over-35 women
were in college last year than
men in the same age group -
914,000 to 487,000.

Total college enrollment in-
creased by 2.3 million from
1972 to 1979, the Census
Bureau reports, but about
half of that group was part-
time students age 25 or over.
The older part-time students
comprised 26 percent of all
students in 1979, up from 19
percent in 1972.

Courses Offered In Navigation

Lanier Sailing Academy will
offer courses in celestial and
coastal navigation beginning
Sept. 29 in Bradley Observatory
at the campus of Agnes Scott
College. Teaching the two
courses will be Julius Staal,
planetarium director at Agnes
Scott and a fellow of the Royal
Astronomical Society, London.

For information, call Mr. Staal at,
extension 335, or 296-6098.

The Celestial Navigation
course will meet for eight weeks
every Monday beginning Sept.
29 from 7 to 1 0 p.m. The course
fee is $100.00 plus materials.

The Coastal Navigation course
will meet for six weeks every
Wednesday beginning Oct. 1

from 7 to 1 0 p.m. The course fee
is $75.00 plus materials.

Instruction in both courses
will include sessions in the
Agnes Scott Planetarium to
learn star recognition and
coordinate systems. Weather
permitting, course participants
will view the heavens through
the 30-inch telescope in Bradley
Observatory.

Energy Experts Meet

Stuart E. Eizenstat, Assistant
to the President, will present the
opening address October 14 at
the Third World Energy
Engineering Congress being
held at the Georgia World
Congress Center. The opening
ceremonies include a special ad-
dress by John F. O'Leary, the
First Deputy Secretary of

Energy, U.S. DOE, who will
present a critical assessment of
the U.S. Energy Policy and
Program.

The Congress, which lasts
three days, includes more than
1 00 technical presentations and
the Energy Expo is one of the
largest energy exhibits in the
Southeast. The exhibit is open to

the public ($3.00 admission
charge) from 1 1 :00 a.m. - 7:00
p.m. on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, and from 1 1 :00 a. m. - 3:00
p.m. on Thursday.

The Congress ends on October
16 with five special forums on
subjects such as Energy to the
Year 2,000, and the
International Forum.

Georgia Women's
Political Caucus Exerts Influence

The Georgia Women's
Political Caucus (GWPC) is
emerging as an important and

influential political force in
Georgia politics. For the first
time in Georgia, there was an
organized presence of active
women on the political scene

during the primary elections.

Primary results showed that
support for ERA is not a liability
to candidates seeking elective
offices. During the primaries
GWPC endorsed candidates in
72 races, most of which were
legislative. 58 victorious can-
didates gave us an impressive

81 percent success rate. Overall,
only one legislative candidate
who supported ERA was
defeated, but she was defeated
by an opponent that also sup-
ports ERA. No incumbent pro-
ERA state senator was defeated,
while one anti-ERA senator did
lose his reelection bid.

Alliance Student Savings

After tuition, books and board,
expendable income for most
students is a carefully guarded
resource. The Alliance Theatre
recognizes an empty pocket
when it sees one, and has
designed a special price struc-
ture exclusively for students.

The student rush policy at the
Alliance offers a $4. 00 ticket. It's
available one half-hour before
curtain for any seats yet unsold.
Even less expensive tickets can
be purchased through student
subscriptions. It provides a
guaranteed reserved seat to all
six productions for only $13.75
(and that's in section A). Section

B student subscriptions are only
$8.75 (and that's hard to
believe)!

Theatre is a pleasure that no
student should be denied. The
Alliance student price policy
makes theatre for students
easily accessible. Here is the
line-up for 1980-81:

A HISTORY OF THE
AMERICAN FILM by Chris-
topher Durang, Oct. 1 5-Nov. 9 A
wildly hilarious take-off on
American films. From the silent
tearjerker to the Busby Berkeley
extravaganza. Cagney, Bogart
and Brando brought to life. Bette

Davis, Loretta Young and Eve
Arden back again. A Hollywood
musical on stage atthe Alliance.

THE KING AND I by Rodgers
and Hammerstein, Nov. 26 -
Dec. 21 One of the all-time
American musical greats, with
songs like "I Whistle A Happy
Tune," "Getting To Know You,"
"Shall We Dance," etc., etc., etc.
ON GOLDEN POND by Ernest
Thompson, Jan. 7 - Feb. 1 The
Broadway hit comedy about an
endearing old couple during a
summer of less than peaceful
solitude.

STILL PENDING Feb. 11 -

March 8. Negotiations are under
way for another recently ac-
claimed Broadway offering.
SLY FOX by Larry Gelbart.
March 1 8 - April 1 2 Outrageous

Pretenders Rock By Lunar Lily

Monday, September 1 5 was a

Pretenders, the English Beat and

Producers, who presented a
stupefying set of randomly in-
fluenced 'new wave' rock, the
evening is best described as an

enjoyable mix of the bright
bouncy English Beat and the
merciless, dead solemn assault
by the Pretenders.

The English Beat appeared
shortly after ten and, from their
first song, had the crowd dan-
cing along. The Beat play wild
ska music (Jamaican party
sounds). Since neither Madness
nor the Specials have toured the
South yet, the English Beat
performance was (to my
knowledge) Atlanta's first taste
of live ska. Yet everyone seemed
to know correct procedure:
follow the lead singer/dancer's
example of hopping and shaking
to the beat. The group's sax
player honked excellent funky
riffs, and the rest of the band
was properly energetic as well;
they wove and lurched around
the stage barely missing each
other but reached their
microphones in time for vocal ad
libs.

The main attraction was
similarly intense, although in a
different manner. Chrissie
Hynde and company took the
stage, attacked, and wiped it
with sweat without cracking a

smile. Many (males especially)
would claim that Chrissie's sexy
dance/mime rendition of their
AM hit "Brass In Pocket" was
the high point, however, the rest
of their hard rocking set was just
as highly charged. Beginning
with "Precious" through "Up
the Neck" each song was
delivered with experience and
sarcasm dripping from every
word. In concert the Pretenders
musical sophistication is not lost
by amplification they have
time changes and harmonies,
also searing guitar solos by
James Honeyman Scott, Bonzo
pounding and drumstick juggl-
ing by Martin Chambers,
ferocious bass playing from Pete
Farndon and Chrissie Hynde's
unique vocals. Her voice
changes from powerful and bit-
ing to honeysweet and cares-
sing, and her distinctive phras-
ing carries as much meaning as
the words.

The Pretenders played almost
all of their debut album and also
some unreleased songs: "Cuban
Slide", "Adultress" "Lovie", "I
Go To Sleep", "Porcelain" and

Helen Anderson On Interdorm Plans

I'd like to welcome the new
Scotties and all you 'old gals'
back to ASC. It looks like it is
going to be another big year, i
have a terrific board working
with me on Interdorm. We are
all lucky to have such great
dorm council members. They
have really done a super job
so far I'm so proud of my galsl

Last spring after our
survey, Interdorm voted to
change Lobby hours. The new
Lobby hours are from 1 2 noon
to 12 midnight on weekdays
and from 9 am to 1 2 midnight
on Saturdays and Sundays.
During these times men are
allowed in the lobbies yet
they must be escorted when
no hostess is on duty until 1

p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and
Sundays.

Besides putting up bulletin
boards and making dorm
rules we are doing some
interesting things. Our plant
sale was a success and our
next project is the Dorm Swap
Dessert Party on Oct. 8 from
6:30 to 7:30 p.m. This year
there will be two party areas.
Inman, Walters, and Rebekah
students are to go to the
Rebekah lobby area. Hopkins,
Winship and Main and any
day or RTC students are to go
to the Main lobby area.
Remember, the purpose of a
dorm swap is to get to know
some of the other gals.

Remember those terrific

slumber parties we all loved
in Jr. High? Well, in connec-
tion with Black Cat we
are sponsoring a Sister Class
Slumber-Sleepin. It will be
Oct. 8 between 10:30 p.m.
and 7 a.m.

The idea is for freshmen
to spend a night with juniors
and for sophomores to spend
the night with seniors. Get
out your sleeping bags and
keep your eyes opened for a
sign up sheet in your dorm. It
ought to be great fun.

Another new idea is the
CPO-D.C. committee. Susan
Sowell, Shan Nichols, Polly
Gregory, Tracy Wannamaker,
Trudie Cooper and Julie
Carithers are dorm council

members who will be work-
ing with Ms. Kathleen
Mooney as the career plan-
ning office expands its
program. They hope to get
each class involved in some
aspect of career planning.
The commiteee will be acting
as a sounding board in the
dorms after business hours.
(We still need a volunteer to
represent the day students.
Talk to me if you are
interested.)

A last word about
Interdorm and D.C.
Remember that we are
available if you need us for
anything, whether you have a
problem or just want to talk.
Have a great year everybody!

September classes, causes and conclusions

(Editor's note' This article was
written by Miss Jo Allen
Bradham, a former Agnes
Scott professor and was
printed in the College
concepts' SYLLABUS.)

Since this issue of the
Syllabus coincides with the
opening of colleges and the
welcoming of a new freshman
class, we thought an inves-
tigation of why schools begin in
September in order.

We ran through all the old as-
sociations the explanations that
anyone would give. The change
in weather makes for a drawing
in, as people turn to indoor ac-
tivity. We appreciated the value
of children helping with the
harvest in early September, and
then, when the crops were in,
having no great chores until spr-
ing planting. We savored the
relationship of the academic
calendar to the old agrarian
world from which many of our
patterns arise. Then we began to
speculate and to realize that in
many circles some strange con-
clusions would surface because
schools open in September.

Those benighted people who
feel that going to school is a
torment, an ordeal to be en-
dured, probably believe that
schools open in September to
remind everyone of the
September Massacre. Between
September 2 and 5, 1792, at
least 1200 (perhaps even 4000
loyalists were massacred in
Paris. We are afraid that to an
unfortunate minority, school is a
perpetuation of the infamous
September Massacre; hundreds
get creamed every fall by
calculus and a teacher's dirty
looks.

Products of the '60s believe,
no doubt, the opening of school
to be an occasion for rebellion.
For them September is the only
appropriate time because
September the third is
Cromwell's Day. On September
3, 1650, Oliver Cromwell won
the battle of Dunbar. On
September 1 3, 1 651 , he won the
battle of Worcester. On
September 3, 1 658, he died. For
leaders of rebellion those who
would chop the heads from
college presidents and mount
them on a spike September

calls. Each rebel recalls
Cromwell's Day.

But there are others, of
course. The old Saxon name for
the month of September
changed several times, but after
the introduction of Christianity,
the month was known as Halig-
monath (holy-month) to
celebrate the nativity of the
Virgin Mary on the 8th, the
exaltation of the Cross on the
14th, Holy-Rood Day on the
26th, and St. Michael's Day on
the 29th. Those who love school
are usually the truth seekers,
and for them September is a holy
month, even though the gods are
those of library and lecture, and
the liturgy read from a syllabus.

Our thinking about September
led to the dim memory thatthere
was something called the
"September Bible." We
refreshed our memory and
realized that Luther's German
translation of the New Tes-
tament, published anonymously
at Wittenberg in September
1522, is the September Bible.
For a few, for Milton's fit
audience though few, schools
start in September as an allusion

to interpretative documents.
Those few get to writing again,
get back to working with words
in an attempt to put old ideas
together in new and more
revealing ways so that the
imagination can rocket off into
space and the analytical powers
can probe scalpel-like into the

everyone on campus, but we

need your help. As well as a uni-

welcome is extended to you on
behalf of the Christian As-

of C.A. I greet you. I am en-
couraged and overwhelmed at
the degree of excitement within
the C.A. cabinet and the extent

of enthusiasm on the Agnes
Scott campus for the activities
and purposes of C.A. Because of
God's goodness to us, we'd like

to be available to you. C.A. is not
out to "convert" you, but out to
be there for you. Please be open
to us and don't be afraid to ask us
for help or challenge us. We are

not super spiritual people - only
servants of God seeking to meet

also the responsibilities of our
Honor System. We appreciate
the assistance of everyone who
has cooperated in all the
meetings and discussionsl

A second project this fall has
been the alcohol policy,
reshaped in accordance with
state law. As of September 1,
1 980, the legal age for purchase
or possession of "distilled
spirits, wines, malt beverages,
or any other alcoholic
beverages" in Georgia is 19.
Besides forbidding alcohol to
those under the new age limit,
the law also expressly forbids all
citizens to furnish under-aged
persons alcohol, either by selling
it to them or by acting as agents
to acquire alcohol for them. The
law goes on to prohibit
misrepresentation of age in
order to obtain alcohol.

Because Agnes Scott's Honor

to ASC, Black Cat is also a
celebration for all Scotties, of the
spirit of community and
sisterhood we enjoy at Scott.

Mortar Board asks everyone to
keep this in mind as we
participate in Black Cat activities
and follow the guidelines we've
listed below. Any questions?

tation Council member.

with state law, we students are

example, traffic laws. On cam-

the state drinking regulations is
an Honor Code offense, one that
should be reported to Honor

alcohol matters involving
students under 19 because for
them it isan "illegal drug" which
falls under our jurisdiction. Even
"legal" students 1 9 or over who

Honor Pledge, taking it as a way
of life. Our responsibility to each
other, therefore, does not end
when we cross College Avenue.

Honor Court expects that every
student will remember her
pledge and obey the law
wherever she is. If a Scottie does
violate the law off campus, then
dual responsibility comes into
play and it is the duty of other
Scott students to care enough to
make sure she realizes her
position. Let's say, for a moment,
that an 18-year-old freshman
has beer at a party at Tech. A 20-
year-old junior noticing this
needs to take a minute to speak
to her, making sure the
freshman knows:

that she is breaking state
law and is subject to police
action

that she is not adhering to
the Scott Honor System, and
is letting down herself and
her fellow students, and

that she is putting the junior
in an awkward position by
drinking in her presence.

Honor Court does not expect
that the freshman will turn
herself in, or that her off-cam-
pus violation will be reported to
us by others. In fact, we don't
expect cases involving off-cam-
pus violations. But if a particular
student seems to have marked
difficulty following Georgia's
drinking law, Honor Court is
always available as a counsell-
ing body willing to help.

Welcome Freshmen! I hope
you all have just loved your first
week of classesl Now that
classes are underway, all the
boards on campus will be getting
to work. I cannot stress enough
the importance of your
participation in extra - curricular
activities on campus. We have
THE PROFILE, AURORA, and
SILHOUETTE, who all need
hard workers interested in writ-
ing and journalism. Budding
musicians should think about
joining the Glee Club, the Organ
Guild, the Madrigals, or one of
the Baroque Ensembles. If you
are a potential actress,
Blackfriars is the group for youl
In order to shed extra pounds
and to build muscles, there is the
Athletic Association, Studio
Dance Theatre, and Dolphin
Club. They would all love to see
you sweatl The Christian As-
sociation will give you an op-
portunity to continue your Bible

offense; individual cases always
receive individual attention. Ac-
tions in cases of alcohol violation
may range from a combination of
campus and warning file
through recommendation for
probation or suspension. Actual
mechanics of such events as
TGIF's and dances where liquor
is served have yet to be com-
pletely worked out, but some
sort of carding will be necessary
to protect the College and
student organizations from
liability in case of legal suit. It is
also generally understood that
property rented by the College is
considered on-campus. The
dance floor at Black Cat Dance
will be "on campus;" individual
hotel rooms paid for by students
will not be.

Honor Court has worked to
find a reasonable response to
the new state law; we think the
policy is fair, and is surely as
sound a one as we could form.
Knowing the Agnes Scott
Students and their ability to
make mature judgements, we
anticipate few problems,
especially if we all try to fairly
cooperate with each other.
When questions arise, please
contact any Board member, and
be sure to let us know whenever
we can help.

Have a good quarterl

German Department Offers Summer Study

by Colleen Flaxington

Many of you may have noticed
the many scenes of Germany on
the colorful display column 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 fifth 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 the second
year foreign language re-
quirement in just six short and
fun-filled weeks.

For you more advanced
students, a variety of courses in
German language, literature,
and culture will be offered for
college credit.

"One of the advantages of our
oroaram." said Gunther

Agnes Scott
Symposium on

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 includes
transportation, all meals and
cultural events. This year, low
interest loans can also be made
available to our students."

The trip will not be all study
andnoplay. 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, Berlin,
Munich and Vienna.

More information about this
exciting opportunity is available
in the dining hall.

Bumgarner Joins Economics Dept.

Helps Sponsor
Southern Women

by Kathy Nelson

The economics department
has a new addition to its staff,
Mary Bumgarner. Mrs.
Bumgarner's home was
Seekonk, Mass. Marrying a
North Carolinian, Charles
Bumgarner, and teaching at
both Emory University and the
University of Georgia persuaded
Mrs. Bumgarner to make the
South her home.

Mrs. Bumgarner came to
Agnes Scott College because
she knew it was a "good
school", and also because she
wanted to remain in the Atlanta

area. She said she liked teaching
at a woman's college. She
commented, "An all woman
class is more assertive, more
talkative. I like that."

Mrs. Bumgarner likes sewing,
jogging, and snow skiing. She
also likes plants and says that
eventually her office will look
like a jungle. She lived in
Germany in 1967 and has
traveled throughout Europe.

Mrs. Bumgarner plans to earn
her doctors degree in Public
Finance by completing the
dissertation on which she is
presently working.

For the first time since the
Atlanta Cotton States and
International Exposition of
1 895, an opportunity has arisen
for women to hold a public
symposium in conjunction with
a major exhibition. Then, special
women's committees hosted
large congresses on topics of
interest; now, "Southern
Women from Myth to Modern
Times" will do the same. This
symposium, growing out of the
Atlanta Historical Society's
exhibit "Atlanta Women from
Myth to Modern Times,"
examines the range of southern
women's accomplishments,
contributions and problems,
past and present. Everyone is in-
vited.

The symposium, which will be
held November 1 3 - 1 5, is spon-

sored by the Junior League of
Atlanta, Inc., the Atlanta His-
torical Society, Spelman
College, Agnes Scott College,
Emory University, and the
Women's Records Project of
Georgia, Inc. It is funded by a
grant awarded by the National
Endowment for the Humanities
through the Committee for the
Humanities in Georgia.

Pre-registration is required
by November 1, 1980.

Registration packets may be
picked up at McElreath Hall at
the Atlanta Historical Society on
November 13 or at Spelman
College on November 14-15.
Walk-in registrants will be
accepted only if space permits.

Individual authors, book
stores, and publishing com-
panies will be setting up displays

of their publications and
autograph sessions in the
Manley College Center at
Spelman College.

Bus transportation will be
available on Friday and Saturday
from the Atlanta Historical
Society to Spelman College.
Buses are scheduled to depart
from the Society at 8:1 5 a .m . and
return at the close of the daily
sessions.

The Atlanta Historical Society
(3101 Andrews Dr. NW) is at the
corner of West Paces Ferry Road
and Andrews Drive. Spelman
College (350 Spelman Lane SW)
may be reached by taking I-20
West to the Lee Street exit. Turn
right on Lee Street and follow
the signs.

Here Have Some Power

by Connie Tuttle

Someone in one of my classes
made a statement that has rat-
tled around in my head all week.
The brain-splintering remark
was simply this: (I paraphrase)
"I'm not too worried about the
ERA, there are otherthings more
important to me right now,
besides there are others who

are taking care of that.

The ERA, like most women's
issues, is a power issue. And
power (though few of us have
been so fortunate as to
experience it) is, I hear, someth-
ing one is not easily dissuaded
from. History will bear me up
when I say that every time power
changes hands, a struggle en-
sues. No one in power said to
Blacks during their long
struggle, "Oh, of course, you are

right and we are wrong - here,
take back the power over your
own lives." When women
wanted the vote, no one in
power said, "Oh, of course, it
makes perfect sense for you to
share in the control of your des-
tiny; Vote, vote."

Whatever strides have been
made for Black rights were
gained by shear effort and com-
mitment. Nothing less would
have done the trick. And what

Conflicting Reports
On '80s Enrollment

(CH) - What will college
enrollment be in the 1980s?

The National Center for
Education Statistics recently
estimated, in its annual report,
The Condition of Education, that
total college enrollment will
peak next fall at 11,690,000
then drop to a projected total of
1 1 ,048,000 by the fall of 1 988.

Those figures are based on
present enrollment trends,
including the growing number of
older students, women and part-
time students and a sharp drop
in the number of traditional
college-age students.

NCES also predicts that
enrollment in private, four-year

colleges will drop by almost
200,000 students. If that decline
is concentrated in smaller
colleges, as many as 200 such
institutions could shut down in
the 1980s, according to the
agency.

For those who prefer a more
optimistic view, however, a
recent College Board study
indicates that college
enrollment could increase by 5
m i 1 1 ion i n the next 20 years, eve n
though the number of traditional
age students will drop.

Colleges may have to expand,
rather than cut back their
services, the study says, to
accomodate an influx of older

students. The projected 25
percent drop in the number of
18-year-olds could be easily
offset by a 3.5 percent increase
in adult enrollment, says
Howard Bowen, a Claremont
Graduate School professor and
author of the report.

To meet older students' needs,
Bowen says, colleges should
redirect their resources towards
noncredit, part-time courses in
practical and nontraditional
fields. Colleges and universities
will themselves determine
future enrollments by making
education affordable, and
convenient to a whole new
group of potential students.

you sincerely believe that a few
hundred women marched in the
streets a few times and the vote
was handed to us? If so, allow
me to illuminate you. Women
organized, petitioned, endured

Holding On For HOLD OUT

by Lydia Stepfski

For everyone who has been
holding on for Jackson Browne's
first studio album since The
Pretender (1 976), Hold Out has
finally arrived. Hold Out
provides the listener with the
big, basic Los Angeles sound of
Jackson Browne. Hold Out is not
without unity; it revolves in full
circle from emotional breakup
to romantic renewal. The album
is semi-autobiographical. The
lyrcis focus on Browne's stan-
dard themes: fear and loss,
emotional ties that bind and
romantic ties that bond. Images
recur from song to song one
can almost feel the hustle and
pull of Hollywood, the drive and
pull of the heart. What emerges
from the album is a study in con-
trasts from sensitive lyrics
and tight harmony to banal dron-
ing and a slick West Coast
sound. Hold Out is an album

There is a time in every
woman's life when she must
decide between a career and
having a family. A lucky few
combine both, but, for most
women, it becomes a choice.
The Turning Point takes place
as a young dancer (Leslie
Browne) teeters on the brink of
that decision. But the movie
focuses on two women who
made their choices twenty years
before: Browne's mother
(Shirley MacLaine), a promising

by Sister Ray

Imagine for a moment that you
will be all alone on a deserted
island. You will have with you
the basics for survival, including
one record album and
presumably a stereo on which to
play it. The question is what
record would you pick?

This hypothetical situation
appeared in an article in my
hometown newspaper, and it
really intrigued me. You can
learn a lot about someone's
personality by his/her musical
taste. I decided it would be fun to
see what kind of music the ASC
community liked, so I asked
some students and professors.
The responses were mors
greatly varied than I had an-
ticipated.

One professor, after some
contemplation, said the musicto
the rock opera Hair would be his
choice. The music was enjoyable

that will satisfy hard-core J.B.
fans. Its appeal to the general
music audience remains to be
seen.

"Disco Apocalypse", the
first cut on side one, reflects
upon the emptiness of nightlife
where "People move into the
sounds and sights/Like the moth
is drawn into the lights/ Like the
tightrope walker into the
heights." Granted Browne cap-
tures the weary, heartworn side
of single's nightlife where "it's a
long way until the light of day",
but what exactly makes disco
apocalyptic? It is never really
explained.

Cut two "hold Out" conveys
Browne's struggle with stardom
and personal freedom with lyrics
such as, "It seems I've traded
love for glory/ But I'm still not
satisfied." What artist of any
consequence does not have to

dancer who gave up her career
to marry and raise three
children; and Browne's god-
mother (Anne Bancroft),
MacLaine's closest friend and
rival, who ach ieved
international star status in the
ballet role for which they both
had competed. As middle age
approaches, dissatisfaction
haunts both women. MacLaine
is envious of her friend's
success and wonders if she had
the talent to become a star; Ban-

and helped to relieve him of ten-
sion. Another decided on the
Beatles' White Album, an
excellent choice. It is a classic of
which one would never tire.

The students' answers
surprised me the most. I had
expected beach music to be the
favorite choice, but I guess it
would be hard to shag by
yourself. Beth Maisano picked a
Todd Rundgren album of course.
His music makes her happy.
Denise Peek chose The Wall by
Pink Floyd because she could
listen to it anytime, and it has all
kinds of music on it. A few
people picked Jackson Browne's
Hold Out, probably due to its
recent release and his summer
tour. Also chosen were Roxy
Music's latest, Flesh & Blood
and a record by Jean Luc Ponty.
Other responses varied from

forfeit some personal pleasure
for artistic fame? The most banal
lines of the song are, "How we
laughed when we first knew
love/ Singing dum-de-lum-de-
lie." Perhaps Browne can pull
off these lines due to his
'Personal Mentor of the
Conscience Stricken' role.

Still, the album has its merits.
"Boulevard" creates the
essence of city life where,
"Nobody rides for free." The
instruments create the hard,
driving pace of street life. The
city is a place where "Nobody
knows you/ Nobody owes you
nothing" and "You got to watch
the street, keep your feet/And be
on guard." The lyrics reflect
urban reality rather than urban
slick.

The title track "Hold On Hold
Out" is an eight minute cut that

croft, isolated and lonely, faces
the enemy of all dancers age
without the consolation of a
family. Painfully, the two women
explore their lives and reach a
new level of understanding.
Bancroft and MacLaine, brilliant
actresses at the peak of their
talent, are responsible for the
poignant depths and exquisite
dimensions of the drama.

Beethoven's Fifth to Public

Squeezing Out the Sparks. I

will note with satisfaction that
the Rolling Stones were picked
most often, although the album
varied. Lunar Lily picked Exile
On Main Street and another
picked Let It Bleed because it is
"their best album and Mick
Jagger would certainly be man
enough" for her.

So mull the question over, just
for fun, and make your choice.
You'll find it's not an easy
decision, but you'll appreciate
your record collection. My own
choice took a lot of thought. After
considering the Velvet
Underground and the Stones, I
settled on the Kink Kronikles
a double album collection of the
Kinks' greatest songs from the
mid to late Sixties.

provides a complete wrap-up for
the album. The song reveals
newfound love (Browne's) and
all the questions which arise in a
romantic relationship. The lyrics
reflect upon emotional worth, "If

you don't see what your love is
worth/No one ever will. " and the
need to hold on to this quality,
"For the countless souls beaten
by their goals/ Keep a hold on
now." The song lapses into
dramatic nonsense when

Browne stops singing and
without the aid of instruments or
harmony speaks the words "I
love you." These words sound
flat and even forced; he seems to
be making this personal

statement a publicly em-
barassing confession. Browne is
speaking to the woman he has
been falling in love with
throughout the album, yet the
total effect seems insidiously
forced.

Second Edition is the second
album by Public Image, Ltd. and
also the second edition of this
collection of songs, for they were
first released in the UK as
records in a film can and called
Metal Box. In other words, let's
be different. John Lydon,
formerly Johnny Rotten,
formerly of the Sex Pistols, is the
'star' member of PiL(as it is ab-
breviated), which also includes
another untrained musician,
Jah Wobble (bass). Drummer
Martin Atkins and guitarist Keith
Levene, a founding member of
the Clash, complete the group.
Yet Pil's music is a complete
turnaround from punk rock that
most people seem to associate
with Johnny Rotten and the
others.

The entire album is an an-

conglomeration of little or no in-
fluences that John Lydon laugh-
ingly calls folk music. Each song
is built on a vaguely discoish,
monotonic drum rhythm or else
no consistent rhythm at all. At
times Keith Levene plays
repeated dissonant guitar riffs
(raga and Syd Barret influences)
or else he wanders all over the
frets making strange squeals
and screeches. The bass lines
also wander, but in connected
swirls, and over it all is John
Lydon's singing, chanting,
laughing, screaming and

Musically, Hold Out is a rock
and roll accomplishment. The
instrument quality is consistent

throughout the album. With
Russ Kunkel's powerful drum-
ming, David Lindley's expertise
on electrical guitar, and Doug

Haywood and Rosemary Butler's
excellent backing vocals, the
sound is West Coast at its best.
Whether this is a detriment or
not depends upon the listener's
taste. The lyrics are the falling
Doint of the album. Jackson

Browne seems to have captured
his typical 'I have felt all pain and
sorrow, but I have come through
it a stronger person, and you can
too' themes. Yet the force, the
sensitive, soul-searching quality

of The Pretender seems to be
lacking. What is left is an only
partly satisfying recording by a
man who has played an im-
portant role in the development
of the West Coast sound.

giggles.

All of this description sounds
disconcerting, and the music is,
at first, because it's so non-
traditional. With repeated
listenings, though, the music
becomes absorbing, tran-
quilizing and (dare I say
psychedelic?) mind-expan-
ding simply because it is so
unusual.

Taken as a whole, the lyrics
present one clear image that
of putting down the past, with
jabs of sarcasm, nihilism, even
sadness. If the concept of punk
rock and the Sex Pistols' past is
brought to mind, the words to
"Albatross" begin to make
sense, as in, "Sowing the seeds
of discontent 7 I know you very
well/ You are unbearable/ I've
seen you up far too close/ Get-
ting rid of the albatross." The
song "Memories" is easier to
follow; it says, "You make me
feel ashamed/ At acting at-
titudes/ Remember ridicule/ It
should be clear by now/. . . .
Someone has used you well."
PiL's "Chant" is even better:
"Voice moaning in a speaker/ .
Only a gimmick pointed fingers/
Never more serious sight/
Wouldn't waste the effort on
entertainment/Out of control
mob running wild/ All you ever
get is all you steal."

Is this the past? the future? If
it's not poetry (which it isn't),
then it must be reality.

Students Discover Desert

by Val Hepburn

Six thousand miles, one small
van with a tendency to run out of
gas, an overdose of country and
western tapes, nine restless
girls (Kim Lenoir, Meg Miller,
Becky Moorer, Shannon Perrin,
Mildred Pinnell, Elise Waters,
Dana Wooldridge, Susan Zorn,
and myself), one enthusiastic
professor with a constant desire
to slam on the brakes, and
thirteen Mexican wool rugs
those were the main com-
ponents of the 1980 Desert
Biology Trip. Admittedly, we
were a bit depressed when we
saw the obstacles in our way.
But we overcame them and went
on to have, all in all, an excellent
time.

We left Decatur on August 8th
and traveled for three days to
reach the DESERT. The scenery
was changing drastically and

soon we were in the land of cac-
tus and creosoles. On our
journey we made seven major
stops: Big Bend National Park in
Texas; El Paso, Texas; Carlsbad
Caverns, New Mexico; Albeu-
quercjue, New Mexico; Phoenix,
Arizona; Tucson, Arizona;Portal,
Arizona and a small "vacation"
in San Diego, California.

It is hard to describe, without
writing a book, how interesting
each of these places was. They
each offered something new,
exciting, and different. To refer
to the area we went to as the
"desert" is to characterize it all
in the same manner and that is a
misnomer. Everything was at
least somewhat different
animals and plants vary greatly
from one region to another; not
to mention land formations.

We learned a great deal about
the country we were in. During

the days, we went to interesting
places "native only to" that
specific area Desert Botanical
Gardens in Phoenix, Sonora
Desert Museum in Tucson,
Carlsbad Caverns, etc. . . Most
evenings we went out "road
collecting" that is catching
variousanimals asthey ran on or
near the road. Some of our
favorites were kangaroo rats
(four of which we brought back),
Tarantulas, rattlesnakes (which
Elise would say were throwing
up), and pack rats (which would
"rip you to shreads").

We worked hard and we
played even harder! But more
importantly,! think we all grewto
greatly appreciate the wonders
of that wide expanse known as
the DESERT. It doesn't do the
Southwest justice to try to des-
cribe it in words you have to
experience it yourself.

Students Visit England

by Kathy Helgesen

What do the theme song from
"Dallas" and the "Hokey Pokey"
have in common with "Loch
Lomond" ("You take the high
road and I'll take a nap")? They
are just a few of the many fond
memories shared by the 21
Agnes Scott students who
travelled to England this
summer with Prof and Mrs.
Michael Brown.

During their five week trip
through Great Britain (June 26
to July 30), the girls studied
"Elizabethan Social History,", a
course taught by Mr. Brown and
two distinguished guest
lecturers, Mr. Ivan Roots and Mr.
J.J. Scarisbrick.

The group spent their first
nine chilly days in London,
visiting all the famous
cathedrals, palaces, tube
stations and museumsforwhich
that city is noted . They a Iso made
side trips to Hever, Dover, and
Canterbury; all their travelling
was done by bus. The "deluxe

motor coach," was piloted by
Colin, their fearless Cockney
driver, who was constantly
amazed at and amused by his
passengers.

The group travelled on to Exter
and spent a delightful, tim in a
seventeenth century manor
house. They somehow managed
that week to collectively
misplace Plymouth and discover
"Dallas" re-runs on BBC-TV.

The group's next home was at
St. Anne's College, Oxford. One
poor girl, who was quite well
known to the author, caught a
mild case of the Plague and
missed all of that week's
activities except the side trip to
Coventry and Stratford; there,
everyone fell in love with
Michael Pennington, who
played the title role in "Hamlet"
at the Royal Shakespeare
Theatre.

From Oxford the group
journeyed to York, which is
known to "All Things Bright and
Beautiful" fans as James

Herriott country. The girls
entertained themselves by
purchasing tea sets, kilts, and
Shetland sweaters, and also by
chasing sheep (cheaper source
of wool?) across the moors.

The last week of the trip was
spent in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The weather finally turned
warm, so the more energetic
group members were able to
climb Arthur's Seat in shorts.
Side trips were made to St.
Andrews, the Trossachs
(mountainous region), and to
Loch Lomond.

The group celebrated the final
night of the trip with a large
party, at which time gifts were
presented to Colin and Mr. and
Mrs. Brown, the "highlights" of
the trip were reviewed in a five
minute satirical tour of England,
and the "Hokey Pokey" was
danced far into the night.
Everyone agreed that the trip
had been marvelous and that
they could not wa it to come back
some day!

Editor's note' Burlette Carter
sent this letter to the P.R.
office this summer. She is
currently participating in the
Washington Semester
program and working for
Senator Hollings (S.C.).

As a federal intern at the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
Farmers Home Administration, I
am constantly (and often fran-
tically) working to insure the
smooth operation of State
Management Plan Reviews. The
over 400 copies of FmHA state
management plans for fiscal
1981 come directly to me. When
I receive the required eight
copies from a state or territory, I
log-in the necessary information
(date of receipt, number of
copies etc.) and distribute seven
of them to the reviewers. I skim
the eighth copy for special sec-
tions such as equal opportunity
or a special Indian section for
states with a large Indian
population and I Xerox these
sections for a second set of
reviewers. I keep all logs and
files on FY '81 plans, handle all
scheduling of reviews and
reservations of conference
rooms, receive all corres-
pondence re SMPs (including
comments from the reviewers
on the plans), and I relay this
correspondence to the Area
Directors. In short, anything that
has anything to do with state
management plans comes to me
including stray reviewers who
can't find the conference rooms.

With plans coming in daily
(and often the eight from each
state don't come in at the same
time), not to mention additional
correspondence, I have to

constantly update my logs and
keep track of where the plans
were distributed and when.
Most demanding parts of the job
are first, making sure that the
reviewers have the plans in time
enough to read them before the
review date and, second, making
sure that every division knows
about any schedule changes

In addition to the state
management plan reviews, I am
also involved in several smaller
projects including efforts to
institute agriculture courses into
the curriculums of historically
Black colleges. My job with this
project consists mostly of letter
writing. FmHA makes sugges-
tions to the presidents of such
colleges concerning what kinds
of courses would benefit FmHA
minority recruitment efforts.

I really am enjoying my job
tremendously. I feel that I am
contributing something to this
office and at the same time gain-
ing invaluable experience.
Indeed, the Area Directors' of-
fice at FmHA is the perfect place
for maximum exposure to FmHA
efforts. The coverage is nation-
wide, but the office, itself, is
conveniently sma II and, too, very
informal. Everyone is on a first-
name basis. The Directors and
the Assistant to the Ad-
ministrator, Jack Cassidy, are
always eager to take me to
reviews or meetings with them.
Of course, I have had a full dose
of bureaucracy and red tap
during my stay here, but I
consider it, most certainly, a
lesson in patience and, too, a
chance to see, first-hand, how
government works or doesn't.

Agnes Scott Featured In
Atlanta Weekly Magazine

Page 5

by Laurie McBrayer

To define the "Scott mysti-
que" seemed to be the purpose
behind an in-depth feature titled
"Scotties," written by Jim Dod-
son of Atlanta Weekly. His
twelve page story, published
June 1, 1980, attempted to
shine light on every crack and
crevice of the Agnes Scott cam-
pus. Photos supplemented his
story that documented Scotties
of 91 years ago and of the spring
of 1980.

The cover photos and title in-
dicated one objective of the
feature: to show the diversity
among Agnes Scott students.
Students of several races, clas-
sifications, and attire were
photographed. The title, "Pick
the Agnes Scott woman" ac-
companied by the photo was
only the beginning of Dodson's
effort to destroy the stereotype
that all Scotties are white,
upper-middle class, Protestant
girls who wear Izods and add-a-
beads.

Dodson informs "About one-
fourth of the student body is
hard-core preppie," and he also
says "Scott women aren't just
add-a-beads, Topsiders, and

Izods. They're smart too."

Dodson's observations about
the College indicate that he was
impressed with itsacademic life.
"The school is the embodiment
of the classic liberal arts ideal.
Everything about the school,
from its buildings to its profes-
sors, suggests total dedication to
the student." He stressed the
student faculty ratio (7:1) en-
dowment (30 million), single sex
institution and its founding prin-
ciple ("women should be af-
forded the same opportunity for
serious scholarship as men"),
and selectivity and rank (among
the top 10 percent of women's
colleges).

He included comments that
President Marvin Perry "has
been credited with strengthen-
ing ties outside the college" and
that his wife Ellen "is Scott's
best advertisement." Dodson
also describes school historian
and former English professor
and public relations director, Dr.
W. Edward McNair, as the "most
popular figure on campus" - -
"No one else knows more about
Agnes Scott."

Dodson's article had two mis-
takes. Bible and religion is still a

Reporter Visits

by Laurie McBrayer

Long- stemmed water
glasses clinked against china
plates as over 900 Atlantans
dined on boneless chicken
and brocolli and waited for
Walter Cronkite to be
introduced at a special
Atlanta Press Club luncheon
held at the Mariott Hotel.

Mr. Cronkite's fifteen
minute speech concerned
freedom of the press, an
appropriate and significant,
but not very original, topic. He
stressed the importance of
"sources that wish to remain
anonymous" and warned
that "the press is not diligent
enough in protecting the
press' right to freedom."

He discussed the reversal
of the Alameda decision and
its results: the first
amendment guarantees the
press' right to attend trials
and to have access to
government information. He
said, 'There is a need to
report news that is free from
government intrusion."

A brief question and
answer session followed Mr.
Cronkite's address. The
following questions were
discussed.

QUESTION: Have you ever
canceled a story because it
would damage an individual
more than benefit the public?
ANSWER Yes, I have in
stories involving the public
"tarring" of young adults. I
am, against special publicity
of marijuana busts of those
young people whose

parents are prominent.
QUESTION: What is your
opinion of Anwar Sadat?
ANSWER I feel that he is
the right leader for Egypt
and that he is one of the
most courageous men of
modern history.
Unfortunately, he is not
getting the support from
this nation that he deserves.
QUESTION: What are your
personal plans after retiring
from your anchor position? Is
there a possibility you would
run for a public office?
ANSWER I am hopeful that
UNIVERSE will be shown
on a weekly basis and I will
work on documentaries. I
am offended that people
would want me to run for an
office. People do not know
what my stands are. Either
they believe they can
manipulate me or they think
I would see the light once in
office.

Those who attended the
luncheon were not
disappointed, for Walter
Cronkite is indeed the man
who reports the evening
news across the country. He
is objective, convincing and
sincere. He has gained the
nation's trust and is
dedicated to the press. Those
who listened to his words,
'There is no substitute for a
free, unregulated press," will
not forget them.

That's the way it was at the
Atlanta Press Club's
luncheon honoring Walter
Cronkite on September 17,
1980.

required course and tuition is
not $6500. The article is,
however, very comprehensive
and he succeeded in catching
the importance of the honor
code, describing it as "the heart
of everything."

Dr. Perry described to Dodson
"the attitude of the school" as
"enlightened elitism." Dodson
concluded that the "most ob-
vious component of this elitism"
is that Agnes Scott will never be
coeducational. He quoted an
English professor as saying,
"This is a woman's school im-
plicity devoted to providing the
best education for women . . .
Admitting men would dilute . . .
its raison d'etre." Dodson
tended to dwell on Harry Crew's
visit to the Agnes Scott campus.
However, the long lead to the
story provided a good in-
troduction. Agnes Scott was not
really what Harry Crews
expected, and by pointing that
out, Dodson seems to imply that
Agnes Scott does not fit all of its
stereotypes.

Dodson described one of these
stereotypes, "that Agnes Scott's
a finishing school." He main-
tained thatthis "finishing school

These Agnes Scott students prove Mr. Dodson's point that the
student body is diverse. Pictured are (clockwise from bottom
left) Yu San Chooi, from Malaysia; Beth Maisano, sophomore
class president for class of '82; Burlette Carter, Truman scholar;

mystique persists" because
Scott women do make good
wives and mothers. However, he
also pointed out that the same
women also become
"independent, self-assured
career" women. He included a
joke he heard on campus, "that
Scott will finish you before you
finish Scott. When you get out of
the place, you're not finished -
you're just beginning."

Dodson deserves much credit
for a well-researched article that
undoubtedly provided a good
advertisement for the College.
He also helped explain the at-
titudes and destroy some of the
stereotypes of Agnes Scott
women. When a Scott woman
says she needs a husband,
chances are that she is talking
about one of those bed pillows
that has arms.

Ten Thousand Women Visited
Copenhagen, Denmark

by Carol Goodman

This past July some 10,000
women gathered in
Copenhagen, Denmark to share
their energy and excitement at
three international women's
conferences taking place there.
During the two weeks of ac-
tivities, women participated in
the United Nations Decade for
Women Conference, the Non-
Governmental Organization
Conference on Women (Mid-
Decade Forum), and the
International Festival of Women
Artists.

Agnes Scott had a represen-
tative at the International Fes-
tival of Women Artists. Terry
McGehee of the Art Department
travelled to Copenhagen to
attend the conference held at
the Glyptotek Museum, one of
Europe's major museums.
Returning with an abundance of
information, ideas and en-
thusiasm, Ms. McGehee
explained that the conference
was organized mostly by
women's artist groups from the
United States and Denmark.
Although these two countries
had the most representatives,
people from approximately ten
other countries around the
world participated in the ac-
tivities. These activities did not
only center on the visual arts but
also included various other art
forms such as performance art,
theater, literary readings, and
other attractions

Activities spread all over
Copenhagen to the many

exhibitions set up in different
parts of the city. An architect
show featured Danish women
architects and their work.
Another exhibit that fascinated
Miss McGehee was the
International Women's Postcard
Exhibition. Thousands of women
who could not attend the
conference sent postcards they
had designed. This great quan-
tity of cards made up a thrilling
and extensive display at the
conference.

During the Festival of Women
Artists, many panels discussed
issues important to the female
artist. Miss McGehee, a charter
member of the Atlanta Women's
Art Collective, attended one of
these panels discussing
women's art organizations, their
growth and importance. At the
festival many art events were
shared by women from different
countries. The panel events,
largely led by U.S. women,
covered topics from "Why
Women Were Left Out of His-
tory" to 'Trends in U.S.
Women's Art in the Seventies."
An Italian women's theater
group put on a delightful play en-
titled "Shoes." Unfortunately,
because of lack of funds for
organizing and advertizing,
many of the Third World nations,
that would have added to this
festival were not represented.

The International Women's
Art Festival drew a small crowd
compared with the masses that
attended the United Nations
Decade for Women Conference
and the Non-Governmental

Organization Conference on
Women. These other two
conventions drew enormous
crowds from many nations. The
United Nations conference in-
cluded governmental represen-
tatives from all over the world to
discuss "Equality, Development
and Peace," but this original
intent was pushed asside as the
meeting developed into a
basically political event

According to Miss McGehee,
the real excitement in
Copenhagen was to be found at
the Non-Governmental
Organization Conference for
Women With exciting
meetings and a choice of over
one hundred topics and panels
per day, interest was never
lagging.

Like most of the other women,
Miss McGehee spentas much of
her time as possible at the Non-
Governmental meetings. She
brought back large amounts of
literature about the conference
and would love to share the in-
formation with anyone
interested. One of the deep im-
pressions Miss McGehee ob-
tained from the Copenhagen
experience was the strong com-
mittment women have toward
peace. "I can say absolutely that
women want peace. This
pervaded the conference,"
stated Miss McGehee. In July of
1 980, the streets of Copenhagen
absolutely buzzed with the
excitement of everyone talking
about women, equality and
oeace.

Tennis Team Represents Scott

Once again the autumn
edition of the Agnes Scott Ten-
nis Team is alive and kicking
under the coach ing of M iss Mes-
sick. The fifteen players who
expressed interest in
competitive tennis have been

practicing daily since the second
week of school, and the ten who
will represent Agnes Scott in
matches were chosen on Tues-
day, September 23. Despite the
excessive heat and humidity of
the past few weeks, all the

netters are seeing improvement
in most facets of their games.
The goals of fall tennis, stated
Miss Messick, are to "gain
valuable match experience, to
try new strokes and strategy,
and to show players what I
expect in terms of tirrie, attitude,
and dedication." During prac-
tice, players have been working
on strokes, volleys, and serves.
Match experience will be gained
from the five matches scheduled
with Atlanta area schools and
from the three Sunday team ten-
nis matches. The team tennis
matches will give Scott players a
chance to work on their singles
and doubles play while compet-
ing against several good male
(and female) local players.

Once again the Scottie team
will be a young, but talented
crew. Miss Messick picked her
top ten players from a group that
included six impressive

freshmen in addition to the
returnees who held down the
first, second, fourth, fifth, and
seventh positions last season.
The results of these fall matches
do not count on the Scotties
permanent record, thus the
team stands to lose nothing by
experimenting with new ap-

proaches to the game. Miss
Messick and the team en-
courage any and all to come out
some afternoon and watch some
matches. All home matches are
scheduled to begin at three p.m.,
and the team tennis will be held
at four p.m. on Sundays. The

Field Hockey Gets Underway

Are you one of the people that
think the only team Agnes Scott
students can cheer for is the

with various other college and
recreational teams.

and several other teachers from
Agnes Scott.

Miss McKemie, who coaches
the team, was qu ick to state that
everyone is welcome to come
and play or just practice with the
team and that you don't have to
play in every game. She also
says that field hockey is a lot
more fun than jogging around
the block because at least it
g ives you somebody to jog with . "

This year's team has several
returning players. Among them
are Becky Moorer, Meredith
Manning, Colleen McCoy and
Lydia Reasor. The schedule of
games includes a match with
Georgia Club at 6:00, October 3,
and the weekend of October 1 8-
19 teams from Suwanee,
Vanderbilt and Georgia Club are

going to visit Agnes Scott to play
on Saturday and Sunday
afternoon. Also, tentative plans
have been made for the team to
travel up to Suwanee sometime
in the fall.
Right now the team is in need

of a goalie, because Kathy
Sterns, who held the job last
year, has gone to France, so
anyone interested is encouraged
to go out. Everybody else is en-
couraged to go and cheer the
Agnes Scott team on.

BY-LINE: THE AUTHOR
TALK SHOW hosted by author,
journalist, and playwright Gene-
Gabriel Moore, will be opening
its seventh season with an
interview to be taped on the
Agnes Scott College campus on
Wednesday, Oct. 8. Mr. Moore
will interview Norman Mailer,
Pulitzer Prize winning author
and recipient of the National
Book Award. Mr. Mailer rarely
concedes to appear on
television. During the taping, he
is expected to discuss his career,
his public persona, and his views
on women. Norman Mailer's
books include THE NAKED
AND THE DEAD,
ADVERTISEMENTS FOR
MYSELF and THE
EXECUTIONER'S SONG. His
most recent work is OF
WOMEN AND THEIR
ELEGANCE.

BY-LINE: THE AUTHOR TALK
SHOW has been described by

Joe Cumming, Jr. as "the
nation's oldest and most in-
fluential talk show." The series,
produced by Moore for Georgia
Public Television, has attracted
such guests as William Styron,
Eudora Welty and James Dickey.

Gene-Gabriel Moore, a native
Atlantan, has worked as a
newspaper reporter, war corres-
pondent, columnist for the
ATLANTA JOURNAL, and
managing editor for GEORGIA
MAGAZINE. A dozen of his
plays have been professionally
produced in the U.S., Canada,
England, and Germany. He once
directed the Eugene O'Neil play
LONG DAYS JOURNEY INTO
NIGHT on theAgnes Scott cam-
pus. He recently has published
his book THE

AMERICANIZATION OF
CANADA. Doubleday will bring
out his thousand page
masterwork, SOUTH, next year.
Mr. Moore got the idea to tape a
program on the college campus
when he was at Agnes Scott for

a talk on Southern literature last
spring.

The taping will take place in
the courtyard in front of the in-
firmary. The taping will be
moved to Dana Fine Arts Build-
ing in the event of rain. Students
are welcomed and encouraged
to come view the taping and
make up a student audience for
the interview. However, certain
restrictions must be imposed in
consideration of the requests of
Norman Mailer. No questions
may be asked of Mr. Mailer by
the audience or reporters. There
will be no photography during
the show. All those interested in
observing the interview should
be in place by 12:45 a.m. The
taping should last for 90
minutes.

This episode featuring
Norman Mailer of BY-LINE: THE

Agnes Scott To Have Chapter Of "Roundtable"

by Phylis Scheines

The Economics Department of
Agnes Scott is making plans for
the creation of a chapter of
Executive Roundtable. Executive
Roundtable was founded under

the YMCA and dedicated to
leadership and ethics. The
"Roundtable" was founded
mainly to give a laison between
students and businessmen; in-
creasing the students'
understanding of current

happenings in the business
world.

Executive Roundtable meets
several times a quarter for a

Honor Ends In Dining Hall

To the Editor,

A major drawback to college
life is isolation from the "real"
world. Even though we are
exceptional women, we, too,
have become ignorant of a major
world problem shortage. A
shortage of energy, money and
food exists "out there" and I am
ashamed that we have not res-
ponded as the responsible adults
we claim to be. Too vast of a
generalization? Then allow me
to prove my accusation true.

For as long as I have attended
Agnes Scott, I have joined with
others in complaints about the
food served in Letitia Pate.
Others, more ambitious than I,
have made attempts to change
our choice of foodsaswell as the
preparation of meals. For
reasons unknown to me, our
complaints and attempts have
made no significant difference.
And again this year, the com-
plaints continue and Rep. Coun-

Oktoberquest '80 Agnes
Skott's fall prospective student
weekend, will take place this
Thursday and Friday, October 9
and 1 0. Approximately 1 50 high
school juniors and seniors will
spend two days and a night on
campus to experience just a little
of real college life.

Admissions and the SAR's

cil is making another worthy
attempt to make Scott students
happy.

In one attempt, Rep Council
members have met with Ms.
Saunders todiscuss plans for an
expanded salad bar. Our request
seems reasonable; in fact, it
appears rather easy to im-
plement. But let's look at the
other side for a moment. Ac-
cording to health regulations, a
sneeze guard must cover the
salad bar area. With this and
other necessary changes, a
salad bar expansion would cost
$800 to $900. The money for
this project would have to come
out of the budget for something
else. This seems absurd since
we pay $1,600.00 annually for
room and board. But what we fail
to realize is that we eat more
than for what we pay. We take
handfulls of ice cream goodies
for our late night snacks. And for
those conscious of calories, you

have been working very hard to
make this weekend a success.
However, it takes the help of
every student here at Scott to
pull off an event such as Ok-
toberquest. Anyone who is able
to loan a bed and guide a
prospective student is doing her
part to make Scott the best place
it can be. We will be entertaining
many quality students who are

take mounds of furit to eat dur-
ing your study breaks. (Plus, we
take silverware, glasses, bowls,
etc. which must be replaced with
our board money.) We seem
unaware that we are on our
honor to use common sense
when taking food from the din-
ing hall.

But more importantly, (and my
major point), we waste our
money by wasting our food and
drinks. So what if we fill a bowl
with peanut butter and only use
two tablespoons? Big deal that
we get a glass of milk and only
drink half! Why bother asking for
a small portion of corn mush?
Who cares if we make a caesar
salad and can't eat it all before
our 12:10? Obviously, we don't.
Obviously, we have forgotten
that the Hub is for the purchase
of our snacks. Obviously, we
have ignored the cost of having
peanut butter ($240.00 per
month), ice cream ($1,000.00

other of the best schools in the
nation. Agnes Scott can
definitely come out on top,
especially with the personal
touch that the students here are
able to give the prospectives. Do

For those of you who loan a

to study, rooms in the infirmary
will be available. Contact the

would like to take advantage of
this. Signs will be up to let all of
you know when and where to

Remember, in the midst of all

have visitors in and around the

ourselves accountable for our
inexcusable wastefulness
which prevents us from ob-

want from our dining hall. Sadly,
we refuse to extend our honor

The 1979-80 academic year
saw the highly successful begin-
ning of ASC's Extern Program.
With enthusiastic response from
both students and sponsors, we
have expanded the program to
include over 28 placements in
several states.

Through the Extern Program,
students gain active career
exposure by spending a concen-
trated five - day period during a
school vacation with profes-
sionals and their colleagues. A
glimpse of last year's program
will give you a better idea of
what externs do.

-A biology major, externing
with an environmental
specialist, spent one day touring
landfills with her sponosr,
another testing samples in the
resource recovery unit, and a
third day inspecting sites and
taking samples with a geologist.

-Externing with the managing
editor of "Southern Accents",
an English major rewrote
articles, edited and proofed copy,
wrote captions, headlines and
outlines, met with the design
consultants in layout sessions,
and attended a press preview of
"Christmas at Callanwolde."

-Because of her interest in an-
tiques and oriental rugs, a
creative writing major spent a
week learning about the oriental
rug business. In order to enrich
the experience, her sponsor
planned trips to different carpet
houses, to the physical plant
where carpet is cleaned and
repaired, to the Atlanta
Decorative Arts Center, and to
the High Museum Antique
Show.

-Interested in pursuing a
graduate business degree, a
senior economics major, extern-
ing in the corporate financial
planning department of a major
Atlanta - based firm, found prac-
tical application of her Agnes
Scott course work when she
attended meetings, worked on

comparison to our nations' mas-
sive petroleum, electrical, and
financial extravagance,
wouldn't you say? Yet, if we fail
to see that our own conservation
efforts can benefit us now, as
well as have some long term
effects, then have we already
failed in becoming the aware
women that will make a
difference in our world's future?
Thank you for your time,

Peggy Davis

problems, and developed
models.

-A psychology major externing
with a psychiatric social worker
in a mental health institution
helped lead group therapy ses-
sions, observed individual
interviews, assisted her sponsor
on her rounds, and attended
staff meetings. Most intereting
were her conversations with
interns, and business luncheons
with clinical psychologists and
doctors.

Last year's 27 externs learned
much about themselves and
about the world of work. The
following comments are
evidence of the success of the
program:

-"My externship has helped
me decide that I reallydo wantto
become a lawyer, to be someone
like my sponsor, interested in
justice. Now I am motivated even
more to become an attorney!"

-"The Program answered
many questions about prac-
ticing, everyday chemists. From
actually doing lab work, I found I
know how to handle almost all of
the instruments."

-"In observing my sponosr
dealing with customers, I
realized how terribly important it
is to know the market target and
to satisfy their needs. I received
a tremendous amount of insight
into the many responsibilities of
a buyer by accompanying her in
her work routine."

This year's sessions are
December 1-5 and March 23-
27. We currently have
placements in many career
fields including medicine, law,
historic preservation, writing,
oceanography, and social
service.

If you are interested in becom-
ing a 1980-81 extern, come to
CPO for more information and a
list of placements forthe fall ses-
sion Deadline for applying is

German Assistant Studies English Literature

by Peggy Schweers

Ute Hill, from West Germany,
is a special student at ASC this
year. Ute is from Speyer, a town
on the River Thine near
Heidleberg in the Southwest.

Atlanta has been Ute's home
for two years. After studying at
the Universtiy in Germany, Ute
came to the United States to
study English Literature, her
major. Her host family became
her adopted family and she said
they played a large part in her
decision to stay here.

Last year, Ute went to Georgia
State. But she heard quite a lot
about Agnes Scott since several
family members had attended
(including one aunt from the
graduation class of 1912). By
chance, ASC advertised this
summer for a German language
assistant. Ute applied and was
accepted.

Now a resident of Inman's
German Hall, Ute is taking
several courses to further her
major. She helps the German
department teachers as well as
the students who want to prac-
tice conversation.

After living in Atlanta for two
years, Ute's English is very
fluent with a touch of a
sourthern accent. She feels that
her time here has helped her see
Germany in a different perspec-
tive.

Although Germans pick up
American fads quickly, (I.E.
jogging, roller disco) their
culture is different. Generally,
according to Ute, the German
people are "not very friendly"
compared to Americans.

When in the states, Ute does
miss news of home which is
rarely mentioned in the media.
This fall, Ute explained, is West

Germany presidential elections,
like in the U.S., and she looks
forward to the outcome. But
news of the election is sparse.

In a com par ison of
governments, West Germany
and the U.S. are similar in more
ways than perhaps most realize.
Both are Federal republics but
theirs is not a two party system.
As an industrial nation, German
prosperity has been helped by
the benefits sought by the
unions. It is not, however, a
socialist government. Like other
European countries, West
Germany has a National Health
Insurance plan and a
government grant for university
students. These are optional, but
the large majority take ad-
vantage of the system. Ute
misses the "safe feeling" of not
being responsible for medical
bills, as one is in a private

Ute Hill

medical system.

Ute would like to stay in
America but the immigration
laws prohibit her from staying
except as a student. In two years,
she hopes to graduate with a
liberal Arts degree. In the mean-
time, Ute will seek a job through
which she could remain in the

United States.

Ute's family has visited her
"(they couldn't get enough of
Disneyland)" and she has visited
home twice. She travelled
around the Southeast, and even
spent a week in New York City 1
After that, she returned to her
current home, Atlanta.

Panamanian Enjoys Southern Hospitality

(Mari) Meruja Ibanez

by Colleen ONell

Maruja Ibanez is a special
student at Agnes Scott College.
Mari is a native of Panama and is
attending Agnes Scott on a
Rotary Club scholarship.

This is not the first college that
Mari has attended in the United
States. She transferred here
from Florida State University
and before that she went to the
FSC branch in Panama City and
the Canal Zone College in her
own country.

Understandably, Mari finds
Georgia to be very different from
home but not as much as one
would expect. Because of the

large number of Americans who
live in the Canal Zone, the
Panamanian citizens are
exposed to the American in-
fluences just as the Americans
are exposed to those of Panama.
"When you live there," Mari
said, "You really can choose the
best of both."

The schools of Panama are
very different from ours, in fact,
the only similarity Mari -finds is
the language. She was educated
in English. The Panamanian
high schools are much stricter
than those in the United States.
There is a heavier load and all
the subjects are required, that
includes calculus, chemistry,

French and many other ad-
vanced classes. In Panama, all
students must pass courses to
advance to the next grade. Mari,
it seems, is glad that her
preparatory school was so
tough. "I really learned how to
study in school and everyone
needs to learn that. What we
didn't have, though, is the honor
code. I think that is great."

Although she says she adapts
well, Mari said she misses much
about home, especially the
beaches. She spent every
weekend at the beach in
Panama. Nevertheless, she is
glad she came. She said the
people at Agnes Scott have been

very kind, "I have experienced
Southern hospitality to the
maximum." Both the other girls,
especially her roommate, T. K.
Wannamaker, and the Rotary
family that supervises her have
impressed her with their frien-
dliness, she said.

Mari has just become a
member of the Studio Dance
Theatre and she will go to the
Yucatan Peninsula over
Thanksgiving. She is hoping for
snow this year, because she has
never experienced a "real
winter". Most likely, a "real
winter" will only be one of many
new experiences for Mari during
her year at ASC.

Sri Lanka Student Adapts To American Culture

by Pearl Keng

Her complete name is Rasan-
jali Wickrema. She was born on
Sept. 20, 1961 in a small country
called Sri Lanka and speaks the
native language, Singhalese.
She is a devout Buddhist.

Rasa (as she is called by her
friends) is enjoying her stay in
the U.S. immensly. She arrived
in the U.S. on Sept. 4, 1 980 as a
Rotary student on a 1 year
scholarship at ASC. One ad-
vantage of living in the U.S. Rasa
notes is our efficient com-
munication system, such as
televisions and telephones.

Rasa has also adapted quickly

to American foods, fashion, and
enterta inment. Her favorite song
is 'Another One Bites the Dust'
by Queen and her wardrobe is
littered with wood sweaters and
blue jeans. She loves pizza and is
fanatical about potato chips. She
also mentions the fact that
everyone of her American host's
family meals were deliciousl

When I asked her how she felt
about ASC, she answered with a
wide grin on her face, "I love it.
It's very different but I'm learn-
ing so much here!" Her favorite
sport is swimming, so naturally
Rasa is trying out for the ASC
Dolphin Club. During the 3
weeks Rasa has been on cam-

pus, she eats almost every meal
at the cafeteria and comments
on the food there as 'splendid'.

Since Rasa's mother is a prac-
ticing psychiatrist, one would
suspect Rasa would follow in her
footsteps. However, Rasa is con-
sidering a major in biology and
hopefully go on to med school.

Rasa concludes with a few
comments of her own:

"The people here are very
warm. One of the things I love
about ASC is the big sister
system. They made me feel so
welcome and very much at home
when I came here. Thank you all
for everything and AYUBOWAN

A View From A Broad

by M. B. Hebert

On Thursday, Sept. 18 there
was a line of people waiting out-
side the Lenox Square Rich's
when they opened. No, Rich's
wasn't having a sale; the at-
traction was the impending visit
of Bette Midler scheduled for
4:00 that afternoon.

The line grew steadily
throughout the day. By 4:30 (Vz
hour after Ms. Midler's arrival)
the line qued in and out and
around the bottom floor of
Rich's.

The Divine Miss M's business
in Atlanta was to promote her
best selling book, A View From
A Broad. The book is a
humorous diary of impressions
and tales from her recent world
concert tour.

The books comes on the heels
of Ms. Midler's recent Academy
Award nomination for Best Ac-
tress for her starring role in The
Rose. Her forthcoming film is

Divine Madness (the title from
her own record - breaking one -
woman show on Broadway).

Upon seeing Ms. Midler at
Rich's one could not help but
notice how soft and quiet she
appeared. Always smiling and
gracious she spoke freely with
each fan as she autographed
their copy of her book.

Many fans brought her gifts
(mostly roses) which were piled
behind her. She said, "Since I
started doing these tours I've
gotten some astonishing gifts . . .
astonishing." When asked what
she does with her gifts, she
beamed and replied that she
keeps them.

Ms. Midler sat for hours
poised and friendly, acting as if
each fan was the first she'd ever
met. She looked almost out of
character in a soft pink shirt and
subtle make-up. Not the Bette
Midler of the screen by any
means. Continued on page 6

Like French movies? Well,
Oct 7 at 7:00 p.m. and 9:00
p.m. ASC will be showing the
French film "Orpheus". The
movie is in French with
English subtitles. "Orpheus"
depicts the love of the poet
Orpheus for a princess who
travels constantly between
this world and the next. This
fantastic movie reveals
Orpheus'fascination with the
power and conflict of the real
world with the world of
imagination and the
unknown.

Get away from those books
and papers for awhile and
come enjoy a good movie in
Buttrick film room (G-4) for

Epicurean's Delight Conversations

One of the main reasons I

Restaurant is that it is probably
the best Decatur has to offer. But
best of all it's within easy walk-

Located directly across the

restaurant is housed in what
used to be the Belk's department

CITYWIDE BY RAMON A DE SADE

Once again, the wonderful of
October is upon us, this time br-
inging rain (where's Noah?),
chills, and other generally
disagreeable atmospheric con-
ditions. Along with this kind of
weather, there is a general
change in attitude among most
students; an increase in appetite
and a decrease in interest in

academia. The freshmen, forthe
most part, have settled down
and things aren't quite as fas-
cinating as they once were. The
sophomores are realizing that
they have three long years to go.
The juniors are unhappy with
their current brand of cosmetics.
The seniors wish they were
anything but seniors.

There are ways to survive all of
this, and they do not require the
use of hallucinogenic drugs.
One must simply use one's
imagination, intellect, insanity,
and all those otherthings Agnes
Scott women are famous for . . .

1. BED TOSSING . . . made
famous by Linda Blair, this ac-
tivity is fun for all concerned. It is
best during weekend parties
when there are men of the op-
posite sex around. Watch out for
short people and windows, and
do not leave the beds in the hall,
thev are a fire hazard.

2 FLAME SWALLOWING . . .

really isn't as dangerous as it
looks, just don't do it while bed -
tossing. Bic lighters work the
best, but there are usually mat-
ches in the Hub for general
public consumption.

3 BATHROOM PARTIES...

are one of the highlights of any
college experience, and there
are many variations on this idea
In fact, the first Black Cat dance
was held in the bathroom of
second Main, with the theme be-
ing "Go Hawaiian." Be sure to
bring plenty of Mazola!

cheon menu is a bit more diverse
as far as choice of food as well as
price. The noon time offerings
include four appetizers ranging
from 95 cents to $1.75 (pate,
fruit and cheese, carrot fritters
and soup du jour), a salad bar
and nine entrees. In the
appetizer category, the carrot
fritters rate as my number 1
choice. They are served with a
bernaise sauce for dipping and
the dish is delightful. My only
complaint with them is that they
should also be included on the
dinner menu or as a Happy Hour
snack.

I've tried quite a number of
their soups and been delighted,
with a few exceptions of course.
The salad bar is generally very
good with some unique and tasty
dressings. Salad alone is $1.75
while the soup and salad duo
goes for $2.75. They offer a
variety of burgers ($2.75 - $3.25)
served with cottage fries, curried
chicken salad ($2.95),
omelettes, a couple of
sandwiches and then 3 dishes
that change - a quiche du jour
($2.50), pasta and f ish of the day.
The quiche, pasta and fish daily
specials and are quite depen-
dable and come highly
recommended.

For lunch you can select from
three desserts. Bourbon pecan
pie ($1 .50), is by far my favorite
but the chocolate mousse cake
($1.75) is nothing to sneer at
either. I'm sorry to say that I've
never tried the carrot torte
($ 1 75) but it's probably a winner
as well.

As far as the dinner menu is
concerned my experience is
much more limited. I've had

dinner there only three or four
times. The selections are not as
vast but what they do serve is
very good.

The evening appetizers in-
clude shrimp parfait, antipasto,
pate and soup du jour ranging
from $1 .50 - $2.95. The entrees
include such variety as veal
scallop amandine ($7.95),
chicken neapolitan ($5.95), a
fish of the day priced ac-
cordingly, steak ($11.95),
shrimp and scallops ($8.95) and
an eggplant cannelloni ($5.95)
for the vegetarian in the group.
Friends of mine say
Conversations serves probably
the best Rack of Lamb ($1 1 .95)
in Atlanta. Each entree is served
with the house salad (no salad
bar is offered in the evening).
The desserts vary each day but, if
lunch is any indication you
probably can't go wrong.

For those who are so inclined
Conversations has a bar serving
good mixed drinks as well as
beer (none on draft). They also
have Happy Hour from 4:00 -
6:30 P.M.

I only have a couple of com-
plaints with the restaurant. No
provisions have been made for
absorbing sound and when the
place is full it can get quite noisy.
The only other problem has been
occasional bad service - the food
was great but getting it to the
table was a problem. I hasten to
add that my last couple of trips
I've had very good service so
maybe they have succeeded in
licking that problem.

I highly recommend that
everyone try Conversations. The
food is good and worth the trip.

Wild Planet/Wild Party

by Lunar Lily
Wild Planet - The B-52's latest
album has debuted, according to
Rolling Stone magazine's sales
chart, at number twenty - four
while their first album is still
within the top one hundred - -

pretty good for a band from
Athens! What seemed to be just
an esoteric joke has now been
extended to a second shot.
Overall the band has lost its
surreal scifi - tv theme song feel
of the first album and has

instead substituted an aura of
cheap decadence and barely
perceptible barbs at the same.
Take that cover friendly smiles
poised on modern lawn
furniture, but the girls look like
they either walked out of an Elvis
movie, a truckstop north of
Valdosta or the best new wave
fashion boutique.

"Party Out Of Bounds"
begins, appropriately, the Fred's
shout, "Surprise I Hey, we just
thought we'd drop in!" and

bounces along from there,
"Who's to blame /When parties
really get of hand?" "Private
Idaho", "Quiche Lorraine" and
"Strobe Light" complete the
quartet of bright, bouncy party
songs. In one sense, these are
reruns and retreads of the first
album so if you liked that, you'll
feel right at home with these.

The B-52's have come upwith
more of those instant chic lyrics,
such as, "Has anybody seen a
dog dyed dark green/About two
inches tall with a strawberry
blonde fall/ Sunglasses and a
bonnet/ Designer jeans with ap-
pliques on?" (This is a des-
cription of Quiche Lorraine.) The
neat thing is, somewhere there
probably exists a pet French
poodle named Quiche . . . Then
there are those quotable one -
liners and mating calls from
"Strobe Light", "Let me kiss
your tummy/Then I'm going to
kiss your PINEAPPLE!

The best songs on Wild Planet

are the most uncharacteristic
ones. "Give Me Back My Man"
sounds a little like "Dance This
Mess Around" but has real
counterpoint singing and such
romantic sentiments, "I'll give
you fish, I'll give you candy/ I'll
give you everything I have in my
head". "Dirty Back Road" does
have everything a steady, poun-
ding beat, a spooky - gloomy
tune and a coherent theme,
"Foot on the pedal, feet in the
air/ Sounds in my head/ OH,
don't look back, don't look
behind you/ Wreckless driving
on dirty back road".

Though every song sounds
familiary, only two of them are
actively boring; the others have
potential and may become
favorably embedded ("Dirty Back
Road" already is) into the
brainwaves. Will the B-52's sell
out? Do they need to? Stay tuned
for the exciting conclusion.

Wild Party On Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday of Sept. 25-7

by Lane Edmondson

Atlanta has an abundance of
local bands, ranging from the
mediocre copy - rock of Choice
and Skinflint to the standard
beach - soul - bop of Cruisomatic
to the studied lunacy of such
new - wave bands as The Basics
and Baby and the Pacifiers.

And then there are these
bands which are not easily clas-
sified, a prime example being
The Heathen Girls (featuring
Marc Stowe and Rose
Whippep ).

Upon first seeing this group of
musicians, one is inclined to put
them into the "oh, another -
weird - new - wave - punk -
band" category, (lead vocalist

the last bit of summer was
squeezed from Atlanta's new
wave crowd. Truly, every pair of
spandex pants and dark 'punk'
glasses in the metro area could
be observed in the Agora
Ballroom, but only if you cculdfit
inside. The occasion was a wild
party the return of Georgia's
favorite loonies, the B-52's.

Since the band has all but
defected to the welcoming com-
fort of New York clubs, many
people were afraid that the
return dates would be only a
perfunctory nod to homestate
folks. Nothing of the kind! True,
the band walked on like sombies
and began in a rather stiff
fashion, but less than a minute
the B-52's cut loose. Kate
Pierson (keyboards, bass)
started her space queen
maneuvers, Cindy Wilson beat
her set of bongos and danced
like a Barbie doll on angeldust
made more charming by the fact
that she performed in a floor -

Rose Whipperr has been likened
to a Martin . . .) However, they
specialize in dance music, and
their dance music is extremely
danceable, entertaining, and
you don't even have to ponder
for hours over the depth of their
lyrics.Thir.music, puttogether by
the writing/composing team of
Marc Stowe and Rose Whipperr,
concerns itself with such topics
as sex, love, unrequited love,
sex, teenage crushes, sex, and
other such universal matters.

The Heathen Girls apparently
have quite a diverse audience;
they recently did their first "teen
show" and a surprising number
of the under nineteen crowd

length black sequined formal
and white tennis shoes and Fred
Schneider (vocals, toy piano,
telephone, walkie - talkie)
hopped about and smiled his
cute, enigmatic smile.

The band played eight of their
nine new songs and seven old
favorites. The audience got
carried away and began singing
J shouting along louderthan the
amplifiers, especially on "6060 -
842" and "Dance This Mess
Around". As is necessary for all
great concerts, the sound was
crisp and professional, there
were no gaps or waiting around
and the floor shook.

It's best summed up in the
words of my companion, "If
these people start dancing
around, flailing their arms and
sweat on me, I'm not staying
here on the dance floor." Then
when the music started, guess
who was jumping around, flail-
ing arms and singing along the
whole time? Right, all of us.

V

showed up, enthusiastically res-
ponding to the band's
performance, and even (yes!) as
king for autographs. The
Heathen Girls have set club
records with the largest crowd
turn out (next to superstar lgg>
Pop) at the 688 Club, tne Aqora
Ballroom's main competitor The
band will soon be going to New
York City for an October tour,
and they are scheduled to play at
Vanderbilt on Halloween.

The Heathen Girls are
definitely not to be ignored; no
matter what your musical taste,
you will enjoy what they do, and
you might even dance at the
same time!

Emotional Rescue

by Sister Ray

One of the highlights of the
summer of 1 980 wasthe release
of the Rolling Stones' Emotional
Rescue. They are, without a
doubt, the greatest rock 'n roll
band in the world having lasted
for eighteen years and released
well over twenty albums.

Considering their lengthy
existence and their infamous
reputation, it is amazing that
there are so many mis-
conceptions concerning the
Stones. Actually the Stones are
still doing the type of music they
started with basic rock 'n roll
heavily influenced by Black
music. The direction may be
towards soul, reggae, or R & B,
but the influence remains. Over
the years they have developed
and sophisticated their music to
fit with their own tastes.

Emotional Rescue continues
this tradition. I have heard a lot
of bad reviews concerning this
album and and just can't agree
with them. It may not be a great
record, but it has strength. It is by
far superior to Goat's Head
Soup and Black and Blue.

There are several good rockin'
tunes on E.R.; "Summer
Romance" and "Let Me Go" for
example. No Stones' fan will be
disappointed with "Where the
Boys Go", the first song on side
two. The title track is a diverse
song. It opens with Jagger
singing in a Marvin Gaye - type
falsetto and ends with a

recitation in Mick's own deep
British voice "...Yes, you could
be mine/ Tonight and every
night/ I will be your knight in
shining armor/ Coming to your
emotional rescue..." "She's So
Cold" will rival Andrew Marvel's
'To His Coy Mistress" for con-
vincing a woman that inthe long
run it will make no difference if
she gives in to her lover's pas-
sionate appeals.

"Down In The Hole" is a good"
blues song with the message
that having all the money in the
world does not guarantee hap-
piness. Mick has fun with a
reggae song "Send It To Me".

There are two songs on
Emotional Rescue which are
disappointing, "Indian Girl" and
"All About You". The Stones had
to pick from forty tracks to make
up this album and it seems they
could have done better than
these. "Indian Girl" is an
attempt at a mellow sad song but
comes across as disgusting and
corny. Keith Richards sings "All
About You". Ordinarily his songs
are great, but this one sound
sloppily recorded.

On the whole E.R. is a good
album; one which gets better
each time you listen to it. The
Rolling Stones are admirable
because they don't care (and ac-
tually never have cared) about
what people think. They do the
kind of music they want without
conforming to public opinion. It
is the other bands that imitate
the Stones.

Studio Dance Theatre Holds Auditions

by Colleen ONell

The beginning weeks of
school are a time for all the
organizations on campus to
recruit new talent for their
particular specialty. For this
reason, on September 1 6th, the
Studio Dance Theatre held its
Fall auditions. They searched for
new legs and feet and arms and
new rhythm and grace. Of all the
girls who nervously showed up
on that Tuesday afternoon, nine
became the Studio Dance
Theatre's new apprentices. They
are: Robyn Perry, Mariam
Garrett, Celene Howard, Pam
Waters, Elaine Dawkins, Carla
Eidson, Leslie Lyons, Maruja
Ibanez, and Alicia Parades.

These apprentices are now
given the opportunity to get to
know the Studio Dance Theatre
better. Some will find in
themselves a new dedication to
dance, others will leave,
because of the time and work
and dedication which is a re-
quirement for participation in
the dancing group.

Many of these girls have only
studied the more traditional
forms of the art before now. They
danced ballet, or jazz or tap. This
will be almost as much of a new
experience to them as it is to
those who have never studied
dance before. The Studio Dance
Theatre dances Modern Dance.

It is very hard work, and it will
continue to be but to the girls
who will dance it will be worth
the effort. One new apprentice

who is particularly enthusiastic
says that besides the obvious
physical benefits dancing
provides her with an emotional
outlet. In college most of her ac-
tivity is more mental than any

Hana Mabdlikova defeated
Windy Turnbill Sunday
afternoon in the Davison Tennis
Classic at Alexander Memorial
Coliseum at Georgia Tech. Man-
dlikova went away with an Irish
Crystal bowl, $20,000, and a
new title. The only rough time
Mandlikova had playing Turnbill
was during the second set,
which Hana eventually won 7-5
in spite of a previous score of 2-
5. Mandlikova missed four of her
first serves in this set which was
partly responsible for Turnbill's
lead. Turnbill began to miss
return shots and lose concen-
tration. This allowed Mandlikova
to come from behind and win set
and match 6-3 and 7-5.

Mandlikova felt confident
throughout the entire match.
The six-seeded eithteen year old
says she felt no pressure and
stated, "I'm still going to the
top.'' Mandlikova was voted by
the Women's Tennis As-
sociation during the U.S. Open
as the most impressive
newcomer for 1 980. Her form is
graceful however her game is
impulsive. This impulsiveness is

other, the discipline and
exuberance which is such a
large part of modern dance is
channeled into her class work.
She believes that any discipline
is good for you if it is in an activity

partly due to her impatience, yet
it makes her tennis game much
more exciting than that of a
cautious player.

Mandlikova feels her big win

that you enjoy. Dancing gives
her inspiration.

The studio Dance Theatre is
planning many activities for the
coming school year and the ap-
prentices will take part in many

tory was when she defeated

sweat this fall but they will be
glad for the experience. It will
shape their bodies and minds
and give them the thrill of being

Dolphin Club Swims Into Shape

Dolphin Club has begun get-
ting in shape for the season.
Three new freshmen, Katherine
Wilkes, Diane Rickett, and
Rosanjali Wicknema, were
chosen to join the team. Along
with these freshmen are return-
ing members Lydia Reason

(President), Anne Luke (Vice
President), Sue Conners
(Secretary), and Melanie Miller
(Treasurer). Other returning
members are Lynn Stonecypher,
Summer Smisson, Barbara Pat-
ton, Kathleen McCunniff, Merry
Winter, and Mary Ebinger.

Ms. Mannuel, instructor of
Dolphin Club, plans to have a
show prepared for sophomore
parents weekend. The theme's
title is not definite. However it
will revolve around the different
holidays throughout the year.
Some of the holidays included

will be halloween, St. Qatrick's
Day and Easter. Ms. Mannuel
hopes to use some black light
effects in the show. The
choreographing for the show
will be done by some of the
returning members.
After the sophomore parents

weekend, which is the first
weekend in February, there will
be tryouts held forthose wishing
to swim in the 81-82 season.
This will give new members a
great opportunity to practice for
the upcoming year.

Cross Country A Possibility Here?

The answer to this question is
yes There has been much
interest around campus in es-
tablishing a cross-country team
at Agnes Scott to compete in
races held at other schools along
with races sponsored by com-

panies such as Avon, L'eggs and
Bonne Beli.

If you like to run and
would like to get in shape (or stay
in shape)and enjoy running with
other people, then thisteam will
be ideal for you. It is not neces-

sary that you run super long dis-
tances. A normal cross country
run isapproximately three miles.
The road races are usually
around six miles, however many
have one mile and two mile runs
also.

Agnes Scott has already been
invited to compete in a cross
country run October 22 at
Emory. Georgia State has also
asked Agnes Scott if there would
be any girls interested in a cross-
country run.

There is a 6.2 mile road race
coming up November 1st. This
road race is sponsored by Bonne
Bell and will take place in the
vicinity of Piedmont Park.

The opportunities are
available so come on out and
particiapte; it will be great fun. If
interested in the cross-country
team contact Dean Hudson in

Campus Events Focus On Women

By Kim Kennedy

A glance at this year's fal
calendar will reveal some excit-
ing cultural events taking place
at Agnes Scott with one major
emphasis women and their
achievements. A total of six
events featuring women artists,
a woman professor from our
own faculty, two women
novelists, and Agnes Scott's
own Studio Dance Theatre will
be highlighted during this fall's
focus on women.

October 12 November 20
will feature drawings and
ceramics by Kathy Triplett and
sculpture by Jeanne Gevaert in
the Dalton Galleries.

Ms. Triplett, a resident of
Tallulah Falls, Georgia, received
her B.A. from Agnes Scott with
additional studies at Georgia
Tech, Atlanta School of Art,
University of the Americas in
Mexico, and the University of
Oregon. She has participated in
group and one woman
exhibitions at the New Morning
Gallery in Asheville, N.C.; the
Chelsea Gallery at Western
Carolina University in
Cullowhee, N.K.: Student Union
Gallery at GA. Tech and the
Quinlan Art Center in Gainsville,
GA. Her current work consists of
drawings, functional woodfired
stoneware, and ceramic wall
murals.

Jeanne Gavaert's studies and
works have taken her all over the
world. She has studied in
Belgium, the Art Academy in
Ghent, the Academy of Art in
Brussels, and the Instituto
Professionali di Marmo in
Carrara, Italy. She has also
participated in group and one
woman exhibitions in Brussels,
London, Paris, in Atlanta at the
High Museum, the Temple and
the Lovett School and in
Washington, D.C. at the Pan
American Health Organization.
Ms. Gavaet currently lives in
Atlanta where she has done
numerous works on commission
of portraits of adults and
children as well as many garden
pieces.

Margaret Pepperdene,
Chairman of the Agnes Scott
English department, will be the
featured speaker of the Inves-
titure Convocation November 1.

Professor Pepperdene will speak
on the role of Agnes Scott as a
college for Women. It will
feature two aspects, the "almost
incredible, unique history that
we tend to forget the early years
in which there was a special
identification with the women,"
and the second aspect being
based on what Agnes Scott can
still contribute to the woman's
sense of herself and also the
contributions it can make to the
women's movement. Mrs.
Pepperdene's address will be
given November 1 at 10:00 a.m.
in Presser Hall.

Gail Godwin, author of Violet
Clay, The Odd Woman, and
Glass People will be on campus
November 1 2 to read from her
new novel to be completed in
November. She received her
Ph.D. from the University of Iowa
and has been an instructor for
two years at the Writer's

Conference at Bredloaf. The
New York Times recently de-
scribed Ms. Godwin as "the best
depiction of the modern
woman." She will be giving her
reading at two times on
November 12 at 11:30 a.m.
and 8:15 p.m. in the Winter
Theater.

November 14 will bring
together the Pulitzer Prize win-
ning author Eudora Welty and
the Agnes Scott Studio Dance
Theatre for the symposium
"Southern Women from Myth to
Modern Times" sponsored by
the Atlanta Historical Society in
conjunction with its exhibit
"Atlanta Women from Myth to
Modern Times."

Miss Welty who has been
called "probably the greatest liv-
ing writer of Southern fiction,"
received the Pulitzer Prize in
1972 for her novel The Op-
timist's Daughter. She was

elected to the American
Academy of Arts and Letters and
in 1972 she received the Gold
Medal for Fiction of the National
Institution. Miss Welty who was
last on campus in 1 978 is one of
the few women to actually have
a day set aside in her honor. May
2, 1973 Governor William L.
Walter proclaimed it Eudora
Welty Day in Mississippi.

Also appearing November 14
will be the Studio Dance Theatre
under the direction of Marylin
Darling. They will perform four
dances two of which were
choreographed by Mrs. Darling.

Each of these events focuses
on women and their
achievements. Each of these
women has contributed and
continues to contribute a great
deal to the women's movement
which in Mrs. Pepperdene's
words "is still to come."

Post President Alston Views Honor Pledge

by Phyllis Scheines

President Emeritus Wallace
M. Alston was this year's
speaker at the Honor Court Con-
vocation. He spoke about the
Honor Pledge: that it isn't
something to betaken lightly. He
also stressed the importance of
what he calls "the second part of

the Honor Pledge," which is the
student's responsibility to report
violations of the Honor Code. He
explained that this part of the
Honor Pledge does not make one
student tell on another student.
Students are simply expected to
be responsible for one another.
President Emeritus Alston

gave five rules for putting Agnes
Scott's honor system in perspec-
tive:

1 . See the honor system in light
of its history.

2. See the honor system in light
of other possible arrangements.

3. See the honor system in terms
of its purpose.

4. See the honor system in terms
of regulations on campus.

5. Seethe honor system in terms
of human relations.

President Emeritus Alston
believes that the honor system is
still effective at Agnes Scott and
that it will continue to work if we
keep these five points in mind.

Death Penalty Inhumane?

by C. Tuttle

Lee Kite, the Profile editor,
knows of my interest in the
death penalty. It is an inhumane
punishment that I have worked
hard to abolish. When Lee
received a letter from Larry E.
Evans on Arizona's death row,
she forwarded itto me. I reprint it
here in full:

Larry E. Evans

Ariz. State Qrison 36165

Box 629

Florence, Ariz. 85232

Dear Editor;

lama prisoner on death row at
the Ariz. State Prison and have
been here for three and a half
years. I have a rather unusual re-
quest to make of you . I don 't have
any family as I was raised in an
orphanage because my parents
were killed in a car accident
when I was a baby. I also don't
have any money to fight my
death penalty with and the re-
quest that I have is that you run
this letter in your school
newspaper for law students or

Dear Editor:

The publication of "Black Cat
Rules" by Susan Barnes, Mortar
Board Chairman, in the
September 22 issue of The
Profile brought to mind faculty
reaction to Black Cat during the
Faculty Retreat of January,
1979.

A discussion paper for that
Retreat, 'The Next Five Years",
prepared by the Committee on
the Future of the College (of
which I wasthen chairman) con-
ta ined the f ol lowing
observations on Black Cat.

The tradition of Black Cat
exists, we are told, to promote
class loyalty and institutional
loyalty. But how are these goals
achieved, and how is the
achievement of these goals
related to the academic life of
freshmen? Here we have some
uneasiness.

Our uneasiness is best seen in
connection with two comments
which appeared in the October
23, 1978, issue of The Profile.
The first, from a senior, reads

There is an insidious,
unacknowledged pressure to
assimilate and to conform.
You will graduate with your
class; you will not move
ahead; you will not fall
behind; you will not leave for
a year; you will love
yourclass.An aside: This at-
titude is reflected in much of

students of criminology to read
or just anyone that might be
interested. I need funds dras-
tically to fight my case and to get
an investigator with who can
find things out for me that I need
to know for my appeal. There is
no doubt that I am guilty of the
crimes that I am here for and in
my appeal I am not trying to get
released to the streets but just to
have my sentence reduced to life
in prison. I do feel that since I am
guilty of my cha rges that I should
have to pay for them in some
way but I don't happen to agree
with the death penalty. At least I
don't feel that the state has the
right to just take people out and
execute them anymore than in-
dividuals have the right to
murder anyone.

In exchange for any help that I
might receive from any student
or students or anyone that might
want to help me in this fight for
my life I would be willing to give
the details of my crime and other
crimes that I have pulled in the

what I question about Black
Cat. What is the purpose of
this tradition? To
acknowledge the entrance of
a new class and to foster a
feeling of unity amongst
students. What kind of unity
do we achieve by telling
freshmen that sophomores
and seniors are their
"enemies" and that they, as
good freshmen, must keep
their mascot secret or die in
the attempt? This method of
encouraging unity seems a
bit negative. Class rivalry
aside, do we even want this
kind of unity? My feelings of
closeness with members of
my class did not arise from
our making Jiminy Cricket
costumes together.
The second comment comes
from "A Distressed
Freshman": What is going on
When did the battle start, and
who chose the teams? I'm
making reference to the
fabled Black Catl ... I have en-
joyed Black Cat festivities
thus far. But as we come
upon the last week, there is a
sort of desperation in the air.
This desperation has turned
many a sophomore "friend"
againsta freshman "friend." I
for one don't like to see this
happen. I value a friendship
too much to have it blown up
during the fun times (?) of
Black Cat.

past and have done time for in
another state to maybe help
them with their classes. Also
what it is like to live on death row
and to be in prison in general. I
would also answer any ques-
tions they might have and try to
write any kinds of papers or es-
says that might help them out.
There are a lot of things that go
on in prisons that people don't
know about that need to be
changed. There are also a lot of
things that I feel lead a person to
a life of crime in the first place.
The only way we are ever going
to eliminate the problem of the
rising crime rate in the United
States is to study its causes and
then prevent it. Not by placing
people in prison after they have
committed the crime and not by
building bigger and better
prisons and handing out stiffer
prison sentences. Most prisons
in America are just schools for
crime or places to turn
borderline criminals into real
animals to be released upon the
community at the end of their

Perhaps the matters of
class and institutional loyalty
are not the direct concern of
the faculty. But the timing of
Black Cat is, for Black Cat oc-
curs at just the time most
freshmen are facing their first
college m id-quarter
examinations. And the
freshmen are not familiar, as
upperclassmen are, with
college tests. To subject
freshmen at that time to the
projects, pranks, and ac-
tivities of Black Cat is to sub-
ject them, in the words of "A
Distressed Freshman", to
"our freshman hell week".
But is it an academically
sound procedure to put
freshmen through a "hell
week" when they are facing
the first major academic
challenges of their college
careers?

Virtually all of the members of
the faculty who addressed
themselves to that portion of the
discussion paper expressed
strong disapproval of Black Cat
as it interferes with the
academic life of students.

It seems to me odd that Mortar
Board, charged "to advance a
spirit of scholarship", should be
the group that supports Black
Cat.

Yours sincerely,

people totally insane who might
otherwise have been good

and they end up in hospitals the
rest of their lives.

This is about all that I have to
offer and I know it isn't much but
if it could help or save one young
person from a life that could end
up in the gas chamber then I
think it just might be worth it.

I'll have a lot to say about the
death penalty in the next few
weeks, but I'd like to start here
with a few statistics from the
most recent studies. These are
statistics from a study by the
Minnesota Law Review; a study
by Dr. Marc Riedel of the
University of Pennsylvania; and
a study conducted by Dr. William
Powers of Northeastern
University. Consider this:

1 . In a study done on the race of
death row inmates in three
southern states, including
Georgia, few Blacks and NO
whites have been executed for
the killing of Blacks.

2. 6 percent of those arrested for
murder are Blacks who allegedly
killed whites COMPARED WITH-
45 percent on death row.

3. 50 percent of those arrested
for homocide are blacks who
allegedly killed blacks COM-
PARED WITH 5 percent on death
row.

4. 4 percent of those arrested for
murder were whites who
allegedly killed blacks AND
NONE ARE ON DEATH ROW.

5. 40 percent of those arrested
for murder were whites who
allegedly killed whites COM-
PARED WITH 50 percent on
death row.

"If the law said you could be
put to death for killing a white
person, but not for killing a black
person, that would be clearly un-
constitutional. And it follows, if
the laws are administered
precisely that way, THEY ARE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL." (Ms.
Leary Nat'l ACLU Foundation).

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

In favorable response to Con-
nie Tuttle's article of the
September 29th issue "Here
Have Some Power," I would like,
on a small scale, to act against
the discrimination against
women.

We Scotties supposedly live in
an atmosphere on this women's
campus where we do run our af-
fairs, where we are our own 'top
dogs,' and where we should not
be subjected to discrimination. Is
this not one of the principles on
which we function? Well, allow
me to carry this to what would
seem a practically miniscule
stage, all the time reminding you
that all social stigma and
stereotyping must be removed
from male and female alike
before 'equality' can be
achieved. Well, to make a long

statement short: Why do the
swimming pool rules say "all
female swimmers must wear
bathing caps? This is sexist and
discriminatory. Even outside of
Agnes Scott this rule is an-
tiquated. The standards are
either "no one wears a bathing
cap" OR "people with hair such-
and-such length wear bathing
caps" OR (and this is as it should
be here, I think) "every swimmer
wears a bathing cap."

I know that this is probably go-
ing to be called "ridiculous pet-
tiness" or "making a mountain
out of molehill", but I repeat that
all stigma and stereotyping must
be removed from the sexes
before equality can be reached.
All good things have to start
somewhere, and that's usually
the bottom rung.

Letter to the Editor:

Just a note concerning the
story on the Executive
Roundtable in the October 5 is-
sue of The Profile. The
Economics Department is not
planning the founding of an ERT
chapter at Agnes Scott, rather a
number of interested students,
who are majors in the
Department, and I have been
looking into this organization,
going to ERT's Tech meetings,
and meeting with Mr. Marion

Glover, VP at Coke and Tech
chapter advisor. These
interested students (Valerie Kay,
Marjorie Sive Wright, and Mary
Ellen Smith) will, when things
come together, be going through
the standard SGA procedure to
charter a student organization to
be called Executive Roundtable.
ERT, open to all, is an excellent
way to bring students, faculty,
and business people together to
exchange views on topics of
interest. I am enthusiastic in my

support of this effort, but the ef-
fort is that of our students, not of
this Department. One last point,
the article concludes by men-
tioning "business majors."
Agnes Scott has a Business
Preparatory Program, but has no
major in business ad-
ministration.

The Cars' Panorama

Way Off Track

by Sister Ray

The Cars appeared on the
music scene in the spring of 78
when disco was in and punk rock
and new wave were not. The
sound that the Cars produced
was at that time refreshing. It
was new wave styled with a
definite mass appeal. They had
several hits off of the first album,
"Let The Good Times Roll", "My
Best Friend's Girl" and "Just
When I Needed". The following
year their second album, Candy-
0,came out, disappointing both
tans and critics. The biggest
complaint was the lack of
musical advancement and
sophistication. Still Candy-0
gained popularity with such hits
as "Let's Go" and "The
Dangerous Type".

Now 'new wave' isTHEtype of

music and most bands are cash-
ing in on the trend. The Cars'
third album, Panorama,
released this summer is as guilty
of this faked style as is the
Knack. The album isas plastic as
the two previous ones. It com-
pletely lacks substance. The
songs that receive airplay sound
just likeother Cars' hits. Perhaps
they decided that since they hit
upon a money-making formula,
they would stick with it, ignoring
any attempts at aesthetic
quality.

The lyrics are also as bad as
before. Lead vocalist Ric Ocasek
wrote all the songs on
Panorama. He attempts an
appeal to the confused
adolescent in "Misf it Kid", " I
get rumbled/I get crumbled/I'm
the American misfit/Still

Redford *
For President

by Kathy Nelson

We are all awaie that elec-
tions for a newprezof the U.S. of
A. are pulling closer and closer
and it seems like everyone is less
and less sure of who to cast their
ballot for . . . Well ASCfilm series
has the answer for you. Who out
there would mind having a
young , good-looking, man in
office; (not to mention a good ac-
tor)?

On Oct. 14 at 7:00 and 9:00

p.m. the ASC film series will
present The Candidate, starring
the one and only Robert Redford.
The film depicts the current
political times by portraying
Robert Redford as a fictional
California lawyer campaigning,
however, he loses his good
intentions when he lets his en-
tourage of media wizards and
party hacks take over.

Don't miss it! Be at Buttrick
Film Room (G-4) with $1.00 in
hand and Redford in mind!

wondering what I did". He then
attempts to shock the listeners
in a subtle way with "I dream
frequently sometimes they come
out funny/I live with an ab-
surdity always warm and run-
ny". It seems that teenage punks
would better identify with
Johnny Rotten when he growls,
"I am an anti-Christ, I am an
anarchist/ Don't know what I
want, but I know how to get it".
The Cars appeal to people who
listen to Casey Kasim's
American Top Forty. The best
description lean offer of the Cars
comes from the song "Down
Boys" off side two of Panorama -
"You were trying to be cute/and
it didn't work/You were trying to
be charming/And it didn't come
off/ You were trying to be
clever/ A big waste of time".

The Cars may be talented
musicians, but it isn't at all
evident in their work. Their
songs are pure repetitions.
Ocasek's voice range is only
about three notes which
severely limits the Cars'
material.

The coverdesign of Panorama
shows a black and white
checked flag, perhaps indicating
a racing victory. The Cars seem
actually to have put it in neutral
after their first album and are
just coasting along. It'stimethey
refueled or else they'll find
themselves junked cars. Quite
honestly, I was so bored after
listening to Panorama that I had
to play the Sex Pistols album to
be reminded of what real music
is all about.

Jimmy For Jimmy

by Rick Brettin
as told to Meg Miller

Saturday night, in his first
return to the Foxsince taping his
live You Should Have Been
There album there last year,
Jimmy Buffett appeared in what
was billed as a benefit concert
for President Jimmy Carter.

I don't know how much
President Carter benefited, but
an enthusiastic "standing room
only" crowd profited from one of
Jimmy Buffett's better
performances in Atlanta, pos-
sibly the best. Either while jok-
ing with the audience or singing
one of his many hit songs,
Jimmy Buffett put on a great
show. He promised to "touch all
the old bases" and he did. After
opening with "Stranded on a
Sandbar" and "Presents to Send
You", JB was joined on stage by

members of the original Coral
Reefer Band for a number of
energetic performances which
continuously brought the
audience to its feet.

Jimmy Buffett was also
promoting his new album
Coconut Telegraph due to be
released in January. If the two
songs from the new album that
were performed are any in-
dication, Coconut Telegraph
will surely be one of Jimmy
Buffett's best. Songs such as
"Growing Older But Not Up" and
"Islands", for which JB was
joined by Dave Loggins who did a
creditable job as an opening act,
promised a great new album.

Even though JB returned for
two encores, the second by
himself many fans left feeling
unsatisfied. You just can't get
enough of Jimmy Buffett!

Atlanta Ballet's
Fall Season

by Tiz Faison

The Atlanta Ballet, a cultural
gem of the Southeast for 50
years, has expanded its 1 980-81
season to include 22
performances at Atlanta's Fox
Theatre.

The great number of local
performances - 12 more than
last year - marks a change in the
company's focus, according to
Kenneth Hertz, General
Manager of the Atlanta Ballet.
Last season the Ballet spent 16
weeks performing out of town.
Next season, however, the com-
pany will touronlysixweeks and
perform six complete programs,
plus "The Nutcracker" in Atlan-
ta. These programs will feature

Atlanta premeires of works by
George Balanchine of the New
York City Ballet, Ben Stevenson
of the Houston Ballet, Bruce
Wells of the Boston Ballet, and
Thor Sutowski of the Alabama
Fine Arts Center, as well as a
world premiere by the Atlanta
Ballet's Tom Pazik.

With that support base, the
company will launch its most
ambitious season to date Oc-
tober 17 and 18. The season
debut will feature the Atlanta
premiere of Balanchine's
challenging "Concerto Baroc-
co." Victoria Simon, Balan-
chine's repetiteur, will set the

Epicurean 's Delight - - Eat Your Vegetables

by Penny Rush Wistrand

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES
438 Moreland Avenue, Atlan-
ta, 522 2611

Serving dinner only on Mon-
Thurs 6-10, Fri-Sat 6-11

Having been a vegetarian at
one time I am especially sen-
sitive to other's misconception
of the non-meat diet. Personally
I think it is a much more diverse
and exciting diet and Eat Your
Vegetables can prove just that. It
is not the consumate veggie res-
taurant but it offers a place that
until recently Atlanta didn't have
- a vegetarian restaurant serving
hot entrees and not catering
simply to the usual soup, salad
and sandwich crowd. Located in
the heart of Little 5 Points
(across the street from
Sevananda Natural Food Cz-

Op), the restaurant has a clean,
open feeling with a lot of win-
dows and well-spaced tables.
Each table has a fresh flower
and candle and the casual am-
biance is apparent as soon as
you enter.

The daily specials are listed on
the blackboard at the entrance.
The night we visited the specials
included one appetizer
(marinated-stuffed mushroom
tempura - $1 .50), soup du jour
(cucumber) and two entrees
(Italian casserole and sole with
shrimp mousse). The recently
revamped menu begins with
three regular starters
(watercress tempura, miso soup
and soup du jour) which range
from $.90-1.25. The entrees
featured a house salad for
$3.50, broccoli ming poo for
$4.25 (which is broccoli tempura
on brown rice served with sweet

and sour sauteed veggies),
chicken with white wine sauce
($5.25), bluefish flasche ($5.95),
scallops ($6.50) tempura trout
($6.25) and a couple of unique
vegetarian dishes. Each entree
is served with a small salad and
your choice of cream viniagrette,
miso or tofu salad dressings and
fresh whole wheat bread.

We began the night by sharing
an order of the marinated-
stuffed mushroom tempura. It
was 4 large toadstools prepared
very well and served with a light,
tangy tahini (sesame based)
sauce.

The house salad is a nice,
small beginning with a bed of
lettuce tossed with red cabbage,
sliced mushrooms, carrots and
alfalfa sprouts. The only dres-
sing I have tried is the creamy
viniagrette and it is a winner - a
tangy start.

For the main dish, we chose
the Italian casserole and blue
fish flasche and were delighted
at our good fortune. The Italian
casserole was a tasty dish com-
bining a variety of chopped
veggies including carrots,
onions, eggplant and squash
with lasagna noodles and
tomato sauce. This is topped
with cheese and wheat germ. It
proved to be a unique and excit-
ing dish with my only complaints
being it should have had more
tomato sauce and it should have
been served hotter. It was warm
but not quite hot enough. The
bluefish was definitely the hit of
the evening. It is a fresh fillet
dipped in herbed tamari (a
fermented soy sauce), then
broiled and smothered with
garlic and sauteed mushrooms
and melted cheese. The entire
dish is served on a bed of brown

rice. The delicacy of this dish
was delightful and comes highly
recommended.

I feel the main drawback in the
menu at EYV is in the area of
desserts. They offer fresh peach
pie which could be heavenly if
not for the undercooked and ill-
prepared whole wheat pie shell.
The other choices include fruit
custard and Haagen Dazis ice
cream.

For beverages you have your
choice of a few fruit juices, tea,
coffee and wines. They offer
house wines as well as four or
five reds and whites.

If you think you'll be turned off
by a vegetarian restaurant -
don't dismay - you may find hap-
piness at EYV. And for the many
students who are constantly
complaining of the veggie
choices Letitia Pate offers -
VOILA!

Junior Transfer Student
Studies Art at ASC

by Marcia Whetsel

Chris Gill, a junior transfer
student, has come to Agnes
Scott this year from Panama
Canal College, a junior college in
Panama. Chris is originally from
Rochester, N.Y., where she lived
until her family moved to
Panama in 1973. Before choos-
ing to come to Agnes Scott, Chris
considered a course of study in
commercial art at Rochester
Institute of Technology in New
York. However, she decided to
continue her study of art here at

Agnes Scott and hopes to study
at Rochester in the future.

Chris attended a bi-lingual
high school in Panama and is
fluent in Spanish. Her hobbies
include sailing, reading and
cooking. Some of her favorite
dishes are shark fin soup and
"plantan," a Panamanian
dessert made with bananas.

Chris said that she anticipated
a closed, aloof atmosphere at
Agnes Scott, but she was very
pleasantly surprised to receive a
warm, friendly welcome from

ASC students. She also felt that
the administrative staff and the
faculty were very personable
and helpful.

Chris said that she liked to
study in the library because all of
the inscriptions in the building
made her feel very "cultured."
Like most newcomers to Agnes
Scott, Chris thought the dining
hall looked like a church and she
said, "Every time I go in, I expect
to hear choirs singing 'Alleluia s
and 'Gloria s."

District Attorney Wilson
Speaks About The Law

by Laurie Mc Braver

DeKalb District Attorney-Elect
Robert Wilson, recently spoke to
Mr. Gus Cochran's American
government class about the law
and defendant's rights.

Mr. Wilson, a native North
Carolinian, received his
undergraduate degree from the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and his law degree
from Emory University. He is a
former assistant prosecutor and
public defender.

He discussed the state and
federal court systems and men-
tioned that Atlanta is the new
home base of the 11th Circuit
Court of Appeals a result of
the division of the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals.

He also discussed the book

Gideon's Trumpet, a required
book for the course. He said he
believes it is an "historical, not
embellished book" written when
"America was at the forefront of
speaking up for individual
rights." The modern public
defender system derived from
Gideon's case, according to Mr.
Wilson. He explained, "You
must have an attorney if you're
in danger of going to jail."

Mr. Wilson, who has been a
prosecutor and a defender,
expresses a true "belief in the
system." He described himself
as an "instrument of the court"
and "a mouthpiece for his client
whether it's the state or an in-
dividual." He said, "It's my duty
to represent the client the same

way that person would
represent himself if he were
capable of doing such."

He described the problem of
representing someone who has
confessed (to the lawyer) that he
is guilty and he referred to the
due process of law. "If that client
still wants a trial, a lawyer must
defend him. He has that right."

Mr. Wilson also discussed a
problem inherent in the system.
He described a murder case in
which the jury could decide
between death or imprisonment
with potential release after
seven years. He indicated that
death may be chosen simply
because the alternative is
unacceptable. "We need a
system without a gap," he said.

Student Represents
GA Legislator

by Jeanie Morris

Sophomore Valerie Hep-
burn is currently serving as a
legislative aid to Georgia's
House of Representatives.
Valerie attended several
political meetings during the
summer. In the course of
which, she met Cathey
Steinberg, a representative to
the House from the 46th Dis-
trict. Valerie told Ms.

Steinberg of her interest in
politics and in Ms.
Steinberg's reelection cam-
paign. Ms. Steinberg offered
Valerie the job as an aid for
this quarter with the pos-
sibility of her serving an
internship during winter
quarter.

When asked what she did,
Valerie replied, "a little of
everything." Because this
year is an election year,

Valerie has been helping Ms.
Steinberg 's campaign.
Whenever Ms. Steinberg is
unable to attend a meeting,
Valerie goes and speaks as
her representative.
Valerie also works on Tues-
days and Thursdays at the
DeKalb County Democratic
Party satellite office. Here,
she is in charge of the office,
but she still spends the ma-
jority of hertime campaigning
for Ms. Steinberg. Valerie has
done some research work,
but before Ms. Steinberg can
present any further bills in
the House, she must work
towards her reelection.

Though Valerie finds
herself rushing from her
classes to her job, she says
she finds working for a
representative "interesting
because I am learning a lot
about politics."

"A History of the American Film" to Open Wed.

If you've ever spent hours hap-
pily munching popcorn while
tough guys and dizzy dames
laughed, fought, loved and
hoofed their way across the
silver screen and into your fan-
tasies, here's your chance to see
America's celluloid idols
brought to zany life on the stage.

A HISTORY OF THE
AMERICAN FILM, which opens
October 15 at The Alliance
Theatre, is an hilarious romp
through better known movie
genres from the silent tearjerker
to modern day disaster flicks.
Along the way are 1930s
screwball comedies, gangster
epics, courtroom melodramas,

and even doses of B grade
science fiction yarns.

Written by Christopher
Durang (with music by Mel
Marvin), A HISTORY OF THE
AMERICAN FILM opened on
Broadway in 1978, following a
successful run at Washington,
D.C.'s Arena Stage. Clive Barnes
wrote in the New York Post, "(. . .
. AMERICAN FILM) realizes that
Hollywood has provided the
mythic subtext to our lives and
that all modern history can be
expressed on the late show . . ."

Part of this movie mythology is
the archetypal film characters
that have become an integral
part of the way Americans see

themselves. In A HISTORY OF
THE AMERICAN FILM, we meet
the weepy eternal ingenue,
Loretta, and a Cagney-esque
character named Jimmy who
evolves into Bogart and then into
a leather jacketed, mumbling
Brando. There's the tough, hard
living woman named Bette and
the wide-eyed sappy good guy,
Hank. There's even a constantly
wise cracking, everybody's - best
- friend - career - girl, Eve, in the
tradition of Rosalind Russell and
Eve Arden.

The story progresses as these
characters and a myriad of
others watch movies and
become the films' characters.

Their lives blend with the
cinematic characters and evolve
through decades of American
history from the Depression to
McCarthyism, from 1 940's pin-
up girls to post-war neuroses.

A HISTORY OF THE
AMERICAN FILM is an on-target
satire of America's love affair
with the movies. And, while it is
a loving portrayal, absolutely
nothing is sacred movie buffs
will easily recognize take-offs on
such classics as PUBLIC
ENEMY, CITIZEN KANE,
CASABLANCA and PSYCHO.

All of this madcap mayhem is

punctuated with appropriately
Hollywood-ish music.

A HISTORY OF THE
AMERICAN FILM will run from
October 1 5 through November 9
at The Alliance Theatre (in the
Memorial Arts Center at 1280
Peachtree Street).

Performances run Tuesday
through Sunday evenings at 8
p.m. with 2:30 p.m. matinees on
Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets
range from $5.50 to $10.

Specially priced tickets ($3.50
and $4.50) are available for a
preview performance on Tues-
day, October 14. For complete
ticket information, call 892-

Atlanta Rugby Club Has Rugged Women

The Atlanta Women's Rugby
Football Club consisting of ap-
proximately fifteen women has
begun their season in full force.
This group of dedicated women
play each rugby match for 1 solid

hour, nonstop, and no
substitutions. That's not just
dedication; thev love it!

Each of these women play
rugby only as a side interest.
Everyone of them has some type

of career, ranging from a
medical technician to Ph.D's in
political science and sociology.

Rugby is very similar to foot-
ball; however the players do not
wear protective gear. The dress

for rugby is closer to that of
basketball than football. The ob-

making goals at his end of the

simultaneously trying to get the

Tennis Roster Finalized

The roster for this year's ten-
nis team has been finalized.
Joining upperclassmen Teace
Markwalter, Kathy Fulton, and
Kim Lenoir are sophomores
Virginia Bouldin, and a host of
freshmen. The freshmen are

Sue Feese, Nancy Griffith, Ann
Markette, Annie Meador, and
Claire Sever. Miss Messick feels
the tennis team is looking good,
yet very young. During this Fall
there will be numerous matches
to prepare the Agnes Scott team

for the competition during the
regular season in the fall. The
first match was held October 3
against Oglethorpe. During this
match Kathy Fulton stood out
beating her singles opponent 6-
0, 6-0. Sue Feese, playing the

Agnes Scott Freshman, Kim
Fortenberry, not only uses her
long legsto get around, but to get
around fast. In the height of her
high school track career, at
Greater Atlanta Christian
School, Kim won 1st in the
Region in long jump, and 1st
in the Region and 3rd in the
State in the 100 meter hurdles

In a team effort Kim's school
placed 1 st in the Region and 2nd
in the State in Mile Relay and

2nd in the Region and 3rd in the
State in the 400 Meter Relay. To
add to her list of achievements,
Kim won the 1978 Coaches
Award. In 1979, she was Cap-
tain of the Cross Country Team
and her team placed 1st in the
Regional and State competition.

After being offered a cross coun-
try and track scholarship by
Berry College, Kim picked Agnes
Scott, placing academic
challenge before athletic
competition. Kim will get to use

her athletic talent on Agnes
Scott's newly formed cross
country team.

Griffith, Kathy Fulton, and
Virginia Bouldin.

The next home match will oe

backward and lateral passes are
allowed. This passing and dodg-
ing makes the game very quick
paced and enables it to become
very rough especially for a solid
hour. It is interesting, however,
that there are less injuries in
rugby than in football.

The Atlanta Club played
Vanderbilt twice in one day. In
the first game undefeated
Vanderbilt won 10-0. In the
second game however, Atlanta
won 20-3. The difference
between the first and second
game was made by three players
from the Atlanta Hoydens who
were playing for the Atlanta
Club. The Atlanta Hoydens are
ranked nationally second to
Florida State University.
"Hoydens" means "bold,
boisterous girl."

According to many of the
players, the real fun of rugby
comes after the games at the
keg-parties for this is all part of
the rugby tradition.

Blackf riars Stage A Dream

William Shakespeare's
comedy "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" as seen through the
lens of the 1980s comes to
Atlanta Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 , 7 and

Democrats Organize

by Peggy Schwers

Wednesday October 8, a
meeting was held at 6:30 p.m. in
the Hub for students interested
in creating a Young Democrats
Association. Plans were dis-
cussed for the year and officers
were elected: Val Hepburn,
President; Lane Edmondson,
Publicity Chairman and Peggy
Schweers, Secretary-Treasurer.

Val Hepburn organized the
meeting and explained her
hopes for the Young Democrats
this year. Emphasis will be
placed on becoming active with
Young Democrat groups from

Emory and Georgia Tech for dis-
cussions and activities. Also, at
meetings, speakers from Atlanta
will visit to bring specific topics
to discussion. Until the
Presidential election on
November 4, meetings will be
held every week on Wednesdays
at 6:30 in the Hub. After the
election, meetings will be twice
monthly. Students interested in
helping in democratic cam-
paigns, local or national, may
come to get information.

The Young Democrats will
help sponsor the political forum
scheduled for October 27.

Dana Fine Arts Building. For
ticket reservations, call 377-
1200 beginning Oct. 21 .

According to the show's direc-
tor, Jack Brooking of the Theatre
Department, "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" is about "jet-
setters (Theseus and Hippolyta),
good ol' boys (Bottom and his
friends), women's liberation as
seen in Titania and Hermia's
struggles against men, and,
most of all, about winning.

"A wide range of games,"
Brooking said, "challenges the
gamesmanship of dukes, high
school lovers, kings, queens and
rough-hewn workmen as they
play to win the objects of their
affections." Helping to
manipulate the games is a
female Puck played by Maggie
Taylor.

Contributing to the pos-
sibilities for games, pranks and
tricks is designer Dudley
Sanders' revolving unit set and
Karen Whipple's costumes
ranging from the jet setters' high
fashion through the fairies'
Eastern exotic robes to the
workmen's hempen homespun.

Oktoberquest A Success

Oktoberquest weekend has
once again come and gone and
was very successful, according
to Susan Mead, Student Ad-
missions Representatives
president. During the two-day
prospective student weekend
held Oct. 9 and 19, a record
number of high school juniors
and seniors visited the Agnes
Scott campus. The 1 63 visitors
who came from near and far
were kept busy with the usual
campus tours and academic ap-
pointments and a taste of dorm
life. The high school students
were even exposed to various
Black Cat activities.

The weekend was a joint effort

of the Adm issions Office and the
S.A.R.'s. Susan Mead expressed
her thanks and appreciation to
all those who loaned their beds
and donated time. She extended
a special thanks to Professor
Hyde, Mr. Stahl, and Mrs.
Weber, campus hostess, for
their fine reception at Bradley
Observatory and to all the com-
mittee chairmen who "pulled it
off despite the supposed Agnes
Scott apathy."

As usual, the Scotties who
hosted the prospective students
were eager to contribute their
thoughts on Oktoberquest.
Though one loan-a-bed hostess
felt she had contributed her

room to a pre-freshman who
thought she was "God's gift to
Agnes Scott", comments about
the visitors were primarily
positive. One hostess was
surprised at the "self-suf-
ficiency" of her guests and
others thought the prospectives
"fit in so well" with the Agness
Scott student body. The most
frequent criticism of the format
itself was that something more
should have been scheduled for
the prospectives so that the
hostesses wouldn't be forced to
entertain at night when stacks of
homework were waiting or the
nightlife was beckoning. As
always, though, the Scotties set

and
true

aside their complaints
showed the visitors
Southern hospitality. Because of
this, nearly all the prospectives
left with a positive impression of
Agnes Scott. Though the
tangible results of Oktoberquest
will not be seen until ap-
plications begin to arrive later in
the year, the weekend appeared
to be a success by all accounts.

For S.A.R.'s the work continues
with follow up phone calls to all
the visitors and preparation for
applicants' weekend in April.
Anyone interested in helping
should contact Susan Mead or
the Admissions Office.

Connie's Commentary

What Can We Do?

by Connie Tuttle

I pointed out last week that the
death penalty was a racist, clas-
sist law. I think there are a few
more things about this un-
pleasant subject that everyone
should be aware of before taking
a stand.

From the figures I quoted last
week, I think it should be clear
that it is a racist law. But that is
not the half of it. Many argue
that the death penalty is a
deterrence. There are three
types of murder: crimes of pas-
sion, which comprise 3 A of all
murders, psychopathic murders,
and contract murders. People in
a heightened state of passion
are not rational enough to con-
sider the consequences of their
actions, psychopaths have no
reality-related concept of right

and wrong, and contract killers
assume they won't be caught
and operate outside society's
expectations in the first place.
On these facts alone one can see
that capital punishment does not
deter the crime of muder (which
is the only crime in the United
States that carries the penalty). I
also find it odd that the states
without the death penalty have
the LOWEST murder rates.

Another point of ten argued is
that executing people saves the
state money, for without the
death penalty the state would
have to pay for the subsistence
of the convicted person. When a
life is at stake, the legal costs of
execution are exorbitant, and
rightly so. Every one in such a
position should be afforded the
Constitutional rights of the
appeals process, for even with
this process innocent people
have been put to death. Time

magazine reported that the com-
mutation of death sentences of
15 Arkansas prisoners in 1971
saved the state $1.5 million in
the appeals that would have
been argued.

It seems to me that if anyone
commits premeditated murder
of the worst kind, it is the state, it
is you and me. We, by our sup-
port or even lack of interest,
allow the most horrifying
murders to take place CON-
DONED by us. Listen:

"The executioner turns the
switch to the left delivering 2,-
250 volts of electricity. The body
in the chair lurches upward and
backward. It stiffens and trem-
bles in convulsions. The arms
and legs and chest strain at the
straps. Muscle tissue breaks,
and the body bleeds inside The
massive jolt explodes the mind
and the temperature of the brain

riases. Always there is burned
flesh. The stench in the death
chamber is sickening. Steam
rises from the west sponge on
the person's head where a large
blister is formed. White smoke is
given off by the scorching
human meat. A doctor steps
forward the pronounce the
person dead. Or, if the heart has
not yet stopped beating, the
machine is reset and the switch
is flipped again ..."

These are the tragic and gory
details of what we euphemis-
tically call capital punishment.
We allow ourselves to overlook
the injustice and ineffectiveness
of this law, but can we truly hide
from ourselves the neinous
death by electrocution which
we, by our silence, participate
in? Most all of us have been
protected from the gory details
by the state. We don't have to
witness it, we just hear about it

on the eleven o'clock news
sometime between the weather
and the sports. In fact, we'd
probably prefer not to be
bothered with the information I
just supplied. But we know.

And now that we do know,
what are we going to do about it?

Donor Resources Development

The Prez Sez

by Laura Klettner

If you have been reading the
weekly calendar, you have
noticed that "Dead Week" has
been on the Rep Council agenda
since the beginning of school.
"Dead Week" originally started
in January of 1980. The
students felt that a great deal of
work was due during the last
week of classes. As a result of all
the work, a student felt very
pressured during exams. Rep
Council proposed an RC that
defined how the students felt
and stipulated that no major
tests or papers were to be given
or to be due during the last week
of classes. This RC went to the
Faculty and was immediately
given to the Committee on
Academic Standards.

Last spring, Lynda Wimberly
and myself met with the Com-
mittee on Academic Standards

to find a solution to dead week so
that the faculty would accept the
RC. Because of the lack of
interest on the part of the
students in dead week, the
faculty, in all likelihood, won't
accept the RC as it is stated now.
However, I believe that if the
student body is interested,
solutions may be found so that
there are 2 "dead days" before
exams and scheduling won't
take place on reading day.

Lynda and I have met with
Albert Scheffer and we are
working together to establish 2
dead days. Next week there will
be a survey in mailboxes about
"dead week - dead days". Fill the
survey outl Rep Council cemnot
get the faculty to pass or accept
any RC's unless Vi of the student
body is behind Rep Council. Let
Rep know your opinions so we
can bring "dead week" to life
again or kill itl

Work Load Changes

by Peggy Davis

Last year, Rep Council
developed the idea for a dead
week. This would prohibit any
papers due or tests given the
week before exams. But dead
week has not yet been instituted.

But, the Committee on
Absences has made another ac-
tion concerning our academic
work load. The changed policy

concerns the academic
regulation which reads, "No
student is required to take more
than two tests on one day
provided she notifies the
instructor at the time the third
test is announced." Now the
regulation includes not only
tests, but also major papers and
projects. Any student with a
combination of tests, papers,
and projects due on the same
day should apply to the Com-

mittee on Absences for an
extension. Guidelines for this
procedure can be found in the
Student Handbook.

Rep Council is continuing to
make alterations on the dead
week plan. Within the next two
weeks, you will receive in-
formation on dead week and will
be asked for suggestions and
opinions. Your response is
necessa ry and will be greatly ap-
preciated.

Parisian Aids Agnes Scott French Department

Beatrice Portalier

by Edye Torrence

Living on the third floor of
Walters Dormitory is a soft-
spoken, twenty-two-year-old
Parisian named Beatrice
Portalier. She is Agnes Scott's
French Assistant this year.
Beatrice earned her maitrise,
which is the equivalent of the
American master's degree, in
history at the Universite de Paris
last year, and is now teaching
French 207 (Intermediate
Conversation) at Scott.

She prepares, with the help of
a textbook, lessons on culture;
teaches vocabulary; and
stresses correct pronunciation
in her class. 'The students are
on many different levels," she

says. "Some are very fluent;
others are not. What I try to do is
get rid of the American accent
and replace it with a French
accent."

Bea, as her friends call her, is
taking history, political science,
beginning Spanish, and theatre.
She will receive academic credit
for Spanish and theatre.

Bea is considering teaching as
a career. She said she may go
back to school or travel next year
when she ends her year at Scott.

Bea has travelled to Spain,
Switzerland, England, Austria,
and Germany. "I would like to
travel more," she said. "I have
never even been to Belgium and
it is so close to France." She said

she would also like to see more
of the United States and visit
Sweden, and Mali, a country in
Africa, located between Senegal
and Nigeria.

Bea has a studio in Paris. Her
family lives in Sevre; however,
they are in the process of moving
to Vichy, where her father
works. She has two older
brothers, one who is in the
military and one who is a physics
student in Paris.

Bea said she loved Six Flags
and that to her knowledge, there
is nothing in France to compare
to the huge amusement park.
She liked all of the
rollercoasters, especially the
Mindbender, but admitted that

she kept her eyes closed the en-
tire time she was riding it. "You
have to have a good heart to go
there!" she said.

She said she was not so
thrilled with Georgia Tech's
fraternity rush parties, which

are apparently unique to
American universities, but she
expressed satisfaction with
Agnes Scott, "I love Agnes
Scott! The American college
system is so much better than
the French," Bea said.

Toxic Shock Syndrome Strikes Tampon Users

by Marcia Whetsel

Ever since they were in-
troduced more than 40 years
ago, tampons have been a
liberating force for women,
allowing them to wear more
revealing clothing, to participate
in such sports as swimming and
generally to act more freely dur-
ing menstruation. Now these
products, used by 50 million
women, have been linked to a
sometimes fatal disorder called
toxic shock syndrome (TSS).

First identified in Colorado five
years ago, TSS is caused by an
agent of the common
Staphylococcus aureus
bacterium, often found in
absences. Since January 1980,
the U.S. Center for Disease Con-
trol (CDC) in Atlanta has
recorded 400 cases including 29
deaths. All by 1 6 of the cases in-
volved menstruating women,
usually under 30 years old.

TSS IS CHARACTERIZED BY
SUDDEN ONSET OF HIGH

FEVER WITH VOMITING,
DIARRHEA AND DIZZINESS,
FOLLOWED BY A SUNBURN-
LIKE RASH WITH PEELING OF
SKIN, ESPECIALLY ON THE
HANDS AND FEET. There may
also be a sharp drop in blood
pressure and in severe cases,
fatal shock. According to the
CDC, approximately 95 percent
of all reported cases of TSS in
women have occurred during a
menstrual period. In a study
done by the CDC in June 1 980, a
significant association between
tampon use, particularly con-
tinuous use during the
menstrual period and the
development of TSS was found.

TO REDUCE RISK, FEDERAL
HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE
SUGGESTING THAT WOMEN
NOT USE TAMPONS OR USE
THEM ONLY INTERMITTENTLY.
Women may substitute sanitary
napkins or washable natural
sponges.

If a woman suspects she has

counselor. She said her job as a dorm parent is an ideal
way to practice for that career. Tom attends Emory
University and is working on his doctorate degree in
Theological Ethics.

going to college all over again. Rita Miller

the disorder, SHE SHOULD
STOP USING TAMPONS AND
CONSULT A DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY. If treated early
most victims recover completely
with no lasting disability.

Researchers do not yet know
just how tampons may increase
the risk of TSS. One theory is
that the bacterium may be
carried into the vagina during
insertion of the tampon. Also
some believe that the new
super-absorbant cellulose fibers
incorporated into the tampons
by many manufacturers may
serve as a breeding ground for
the staph germs. Another pos-
sibility is that the tampons and
their applicators may irritate the
vaginal lining, producing a raw
area through which bacteria
might easily enter the blood
stream.

According to the June study
conducted by the CDC, a greater
portion of the 42 TSS victims
studied used Rely brand tam-

pons. The distribution chart for
the disease showed 71 percent
of the victims using Rely, 19
percent using Playtex, 5 percent
using Tampax and 2 percent
each using Kotex and O.B.

"While cases of TSS have oc-
curred with tampons produced
by all five of the major U.S. tam-
pon manufactors," the CDC
stated, "a substantially greater
proportion of cases in the
present study used Rely tam-
pons. Consistent with this fin-
ding is the fact that consumer
use of Rely tampons has in-
creased as the apparent in-
cidence of TSS has increased.

"While further information is
being gathered about the precise
contribution that tampons in
general or Rely specif ically make
to TSS, women who wish to
reduce their risk of toxic shock
syndrome may want to consider
not using tampons or not using
them continuously during their
menstrual periods," the CDC

said.

Following this report, Procter
and Gamble Co. suspended sale
of its Rely tampons and has
offered full refunds for the
product. The company said that
it has asked retailers across the
country to remove Rely from
shelves.

P&G chairman Edward
Harness said, "In view of the
seriousness of TSS and its ap-
parently increasing incidence,
P&G has concluded that suspen-
sion of Rely sales is appropriate
until the factors contributing to
the development of TSS in
women are more completely
understood by the company
through the efforts of the scien-
tific, medical and research com-
munities."

Consumers who have the
product and wish to obtain a
refund can do so by writing P&G
at P.O. Box 85519, Cincinnati,
Ohio 45202.

Professor Cochran Describes
Political Science Sabbatical

by Claire Piluso and
Colleen Flaxington

Agnes Scott Assistant Profes-
sor of Political Science, Mr.
Augustus Cochran, was on sab-
batical last year at Boston
College. There he audited a
series of classes concerning
"social economy" and "social
policy." His position was that of
"visiting fellow." He attended
courses and a special series of
guest lecture, while not actually
working towards a degree.

A large part of his course of

study explored the new field of
"participatory democracy," as
demonstrated through worker-
owned/worker-managed firms.
Mr. Cochran said he was
surprised by the extensive
amount of academic research
material available on
participatory democracies. He
said, "the idea of participatory
democracy was being excitedly
discussed by the intelligentsia of
Boston." There are several small
worker-owned factories in Bos-
ton which Mr. Cochran was able
to observe. Mr. Cochran said he
feels the success of worker-

ownership depends on the
workers' involvement in plant
decision-making, not neces-
sarily in their stock-ownership.

Whether worker ownership
will prove a viable alternative for
the future remains to be proven,
but its potential is being
examined closely, Mr. Cochran
sa i d . Wo r ke r -o w ne d /worker-
managed firms are the focus of
attention ot today's top political
analysts, he explained. Mr.
Cochran said he hopes to in-
corporate this new political idea
in his spring course dealing with
political theories.

D.B. Kaplan's has been

Lenox Square's new section,
Kaplan's has expanded a little

therefore more people are dis-

about this place has to be the

liver, knishes, blintzs and soups),
fruit and veggie salads that look
scrumptious, omelettes and
other egg dishes and I could go
on and on . . .

I am not normally a sandwich
freak, as I think they are too
plain, but I delight at the choices
Kaplan's has and no wonder.
They offer such triple decker dit-
ties as:

The Affair-corned beef, roast
beef, cole slaw, swiss cheese
and russian dressing on
bavarian black bread - $4.75

Chive Turkey - breast of

turkey, cream cheese with
chives, proscuitto ham and
bavarian style mustard on black
bread - $4.50

Beef Encounter - beef brisket,
breast of turkey, monterrey jack
cheese, shredded lettuce and
mayo served hot on jewish
cholly - $4.25

They offer about 30 triple
decker sandwiches and we have
found them perfect for two
people (with a moderate appetite
that is) to share. They are served
with a pickle slice and your
choice of potato salad, cole slaw,
or potato chips. They also offer
about 30 sandwiches they call
combos such as:

Radishing Beauty - roast
beef, bermuda onion,
horseradish served hot on an
onion roll

Ricky Recotto - cotto salami,
provolone cheese, onion, tomato
and bavarian mustard served hot
on french bread.

Even if certain sandwiches
don't tempt, just reading the
menu and laughing at the
craziness will keep you
entertained.

Besides those unbelievable
choices they also offer Breadless
Beauties for sandwich freaks
trying to cut down on their starch
intake. The possibilities there in-
clude Dick Caviar as well as The
Lox Ness Monster. Even the
plain old hot dog is not left un-
touched - it's called Weiner and
Still Champion.

They have a few desserts on
the regular menu but there is
also a separate one for calorie-

laden wonders. Those menus
are on each table and if you don't
find one please be sure to ask for
one. Some of the desserts are
biggies and should, by all means,
be shared but let the waiter help
you with that decision. One
choice that I love is The Last
Time Ever I Saw My Waist
which is a brownie buried on ice
cream and whipped cream.
Believe me if you've already
devoured even help a triple
decker sandwich it still may take
2-3 to finish that. Most of the
desserts range from $1.75-
$6.50.

As far as beverages are
concerned they offer nearly
anything you can th ink of - plus a
few. They have a bar with quite
an impressive array of draft
beers (including imported ones)
and a whole section of the menu
for both alcoholic as well as non-
alcoholic concoctions.

Another idea that has tempted
me is the party sandwich part of
their menu. Kaplan's offers
gigantic ones serving as many as
50 people to as few as 6. Doesn't
that sound unique for a party?

The service has always been
excellent. The spacing of the
tables is a little close for me but
the advantage is that you can get
a good look at what your
neighbor has ordered. With all
the choices you can go back time
and time again and never repeat
yourself - believe me, I've tried.
None of the servings are small so
on your next shopping trip (or for
just a good meal and change of
pace) go to Kaplan's with a big
appetite and my blessingsl

A History Of American Film

by Jeenie Morris
A History of the American
Film is not a series of film pieces
woven together merely by
dialogue. This play is much more
than that. It is a "satirical docu-
drama tracing the history of this
country from the invention of
moving pictures at the turn of
the century to the present." It
portrays the Hollywood
filmmakers as commercial
enterprisers - they only make
what the people want to see. The
basis for this piece is
Hollywood's idealistic images of
the American audiences. Their
ideas are dramatized by
stereotypical characters: Jimmy,
the tough guy; Bette, the
boisterous broad; Hank, the guy

who sees all the silver linings;
and Loretta, the grown-up
"child" who is constantly in
search of "her" pathway in life.

The characters enter the play
ready to conquer the world. They
struggle intensely to keep ahead
of the rapidly changing times of
the '30's. Following the war, the
characters are no longer able to
cope. One finds the characters
"confused, disoriented and lost
in a world of their own inven-
tions, clinging desperately to
outmoded behavioral patterns
which have become no more
than ritual."

In the words of the editor,
"American Film (is) especially
pertinent to our lives today. As
we enter the '80's, I believe we

are on the verge of a new age of
computerized technology that
will bring with it a catastrophic
change in our family unit,
political structure, our labor
force, our religions and
educational institutions, indeed,
our basic philosophies. Like the
characters in American Film,
man's adaptability to his en-
vironment will be tried and
challenged as never before."

There is both a heavy and a
light side to American Film so if
one wants to really "figure out"
the future of mankind or if one
just wants to have a good laugh,
go and see The History of the
American Film at the Alliance
Theatre from October 15 to
November 9. (You will love itl)

Sonia Delaunay- A Retrospective

by Carol Goodman

Through Oct. 26 the High
Museum of Artwill be displaying
the colorful exhibit, Sonia
Delaunay: A Retrospective, the
largest show of Sonia
Delaunay's work ever. As the
wife of the famous artist, Robert
Delaunay, Sonia spent much of
her life promoting his career and
ideas about color, but, as is ap-
parent by this marvelous display,
she was quite a prominent artist
in her own right. She extended

her art to a large number of
different materials which are
presented in this show:
ceramics, watercolors, prints,
set designs, constumes, book-
covers, paintings and fashion
designs. In all of these various
areas, Delaunay's interest in the
exploration of color becomes ap-
parent by the way in which she
used every color as if it had a life
of its own. Her works seem to
have their own movement and
activity, and they delight the

viewer with the color rhythms
that Delaunay presented by
juxtaposing complementary
colors. This spectural movement
receives added emphasis from
the designs of interlocking
circles and angles of her
exuberant tapestries and
material designs.

Sonia Delaunay's work
concentrated on bringing the
delight of color and expressive
design to practical objects and

Ronstadt's
Blues

by Rebekah Rock

Last Sunday night's
performance by rock and roll's
first lady of the blues was less
than fantastic. Much, if not all of
the blame, however, must go to
the infamous Omni whose
acoustics are among the worst
in the country.

The fact that the lead vocals
were drowned out by the guitars
and back-up singers and that
Ms. Ronstadt left out some of her
most loved songs didn't seem to
bother the audience
particularly the male sector.

She appeared on stage in a
bright red satin mini-dress (sort
of a baby doll nighty) which
pleased the audience
immensely. Her red glittered
cowboy boots added to the sexy
image, but her stage presence
did not. In fact, Ronstadt seemed

quite uncomfortable with her
sex-symbol image.

Additionally, she lacked the
confidence one would expect of
a superstar. She practically ran
to the back of the stage after
each number as if to ask the
drummer what to do next. Unlike
most performers of her genre,
she neither danced nor moved
much at all as she sang.

The best part of the too-short
(less than VA hr.) concert was
the finale - she did two encores -
Heat Wave and Desperado.
Both brought the audience to
their feet.

Although somewhat of a
disappointment (mostly in the
Omni), the concert was worth
the money and time. Linda
Ronstadt is, above all else, an
outstanding singer. And even
the Omni couldn't change that.

from XTC the new

Black Sea

by S. Glover

New Wave? No way, This is
pop, people, and it's about time.
Yes, XTC, that amazing little
British band that grabbed your
attention last year with their
pretty-damned -close-to-top-
forty single "Making Plans for
Nigel", is back with their fourth
album, Black Sea on Virgin
Records.

So you thought that real pop
died when Todd R. joined Utopia
and Creme and God ley left 1 0cc?
Well, give this a listen and
believe again. These guys can
put more excitement into four
minutes than jokers like the B-
52s can jam onto four sides.

Although their first two
albums, White Music and Go 2,
were virtually ignored by the
U.S. public (who were into 'punk'
or some such fad at the time),
their third LP., Drums and
Wires, made the Hot 100. This
success was due in part to the
work of producer Steve
Lillywhite, (The Brains, Peter
Gabriel III). Black Sea, another
Lillywhite production, is curren-
tly available only as an import.

Even though nine of the set's
eleven tunes were written by
guitarist/v oca list Andy
Partridge, the two contributions
by Colin Maiding, bas-
sist/vocalist, are the most
accessable. One of these, "Love
At First Sight"- is the obvious
single. The catchy hook gets you
at first, and, wonder of
wonders I, it doesn't grow
exceedingly boring as you play it
again and again and again . . .
which isexactlywhyXTCissuch
a good pop band.

Mr. Partridge and company
prove themselves more capable
than anyone around to ab-

solutely CRAM more rhythms,
riffs, voices and noises into one
song without sacrificing its
cohesive existance as a unit.
They seem to have hit upon
some formula that allows them
to push an idea to the brink of
overkill without actually plung-
ing headlong into an abyss of un-
distinguishable mismash
which is all too common these
days.

Black Sea, as a whole, is a
much more 'fun' record than
Drums and Wires, which at
times waxed more than a little
disturbing and nightmare in-
ducing. The group's musical in-
fluences continue to be diverse,
to say the last. Obvious injec-
tions ranging from Tchaikovsky
to reggae are there, and with a
little luck one can even pick out
the patented psuedo-Oldfield
guitar runs and the occasional
Beatles' harmony.

The lyrical content is definitely
not up to their usual standards,
but is certainly more than ade-
quate. In other words, no world-
shattering ideas here, fans, but a
few new turns on some old
ideas. Themes concerning
religion and war predominate.
Mr Partridge's concern with the
symmetries of modern life (it's in
the order of their hedgerows/it's
in the way their curtains open
and close . .) is once again very
much up front. This is as evident
in his handling of vocals, or
whatever one chooses to ca II the
things he does with/to his voice,
as in the words themselves.

All analyses aside, more injec-
tions of exciting/innovative
music like this are exactly what
the nosediving quality of music
today needs. Buy it.

Dedication To Dance

by Peggy Schweers

Sarah Campbell started dan-
cing 6 years ago and hasn't
stopped since. Her Junior year in
high school, Sarah took some
classical ballet classes and
"couldn't get enough of it." Now
her "majors" are Dance and
Biology. After graduation Sarah
hopes to teach dance therapy.
But before the future, the past:

Four years ago, Sarah joined
Agnes Scott's Studio Dance
Theatre (SDT) as an apprentice.
Although it was her first
exposure to Martha Graham's
technique, she learned quickly.
Mrs. Darling feels that "Sarah
has improved 400 percent in
technique since first here. She's
worked hard and is one of the
most dedicated members of the
SDT."

As a Sophomore, Sarah was
Vice-President of Costume. She
is now Technical Director, an ap-

pointed job with heavy res-
ponsibility. The job entails as-
sisting the director as well as
controlling technical aspects of
each show. The reason for this
appointment, according to Mrs.
Darling, is Sarah's dependability
and initiative in completing a job.
With Sarah she feels sure that
any assigned job "will be done
and will be done well."

Sarah has been active in her
time away from Scott to learn
more about Dance Therapy. The
object of Dance Therapy is to
help in rehabilitation for
emotional and drug related
problems. The patient finds
more emotion awareness
through body movement.

This summer Sarah worked as
a volunteer at the State Hospital
for mental illness in Arkansas.
Also, she attended a two-week
study course in Dance Therapy
at Duke University.

At Scott, Sarah has
choreographed a dance that will
be performed this spring. SDT,
she says, involves each student
in every phase of production,
giving you full experience.
"Because of dedicated students
like Sarah," Mrs. Darling said,
"we get maximum performance
and maximum improvement
with a minimum amount of
hours."

The SDT will perform
November 14, during which
Sarah and the rest of the com-
pany will introduce their
choreographed dances.

After graduation, Sarah plans
on interning at Peachford Hos-
pital working in Dance Therapy.
Her major, with Biology and
Dance combined, will help in
knowing both sides to her
patients problems and possible
cures.

White An Accomplished Runner

by Kim Kennedy

Running has become THE
craze of the seventies and
eighties. Anytime of day, people
of any age, any shape, any size
can be seen running or jogging
at any pace. It has fast become
America's most popular
pasttime sport. Anyone can job a
mile or two miles a week, but it
takes a different kind of person

to run up to ten miles a day.
Cindy White, a freshman from
Houston, Texas, has done just
that.

Cindy began her running
career in the ninth grade when
she attended Dunwoody High
School in Atlanta. After no prior
training she made the track and
cross country teams and in the
fall was running five miles a day

for endurance and doing sprints
for speed. In the spring Cindy
was running up to ten miles a
day in preparation for two-mile
cross-country events. By her
eleventh grade yer she had
lettered in track.

June 1 976, the summer of her
ninth grade year, Cindy
participated in the Peachtree
Road Race in Atlanta. In
preparation for the 6.2 mile race
she ran ten miles a day and had
run the course once. The first
woman to finish came in at 32
minutes while Cindy, a fifteen-
year-old sophomore, finished at
an impressive 50 minutes, five
minutes under the requirement
for a tee-shirt.

In March 1978, she was the
youngest woman to run the
grueling twenty-six mile Avon
Marathon. This marathon,
which takes women thirteen

miles up North Peachtree and
down Mount Vernon, attracts
women from all over the world,
as well as known Georgia
runners such as Gail Barron.
The winner ran the course in
under three hours, while the
youngest woman participant
finished in five.

Cindy explained that many
runners prepare dietetically
before marathons by eating a lot
of carbohydrates, but her only
preparation was to eat a steak
and potato the morning of the
race. And being very important
not to become dehydrated she
drank "plenty of small cups of
water" during the five hours. At
the end all the runners were
given beer which supplied them
with many of the nutrients lost in
the duration of the race. Cindy
states that "naturally running
twenty-six miles is physically

draining, but mentally you feel a
real sense of accomplishment."

But it is because of the Avon
Marathon that Cindy has not run
competitively since 1978. "Run-
ning that great distance just
takes a lot out of you" and Cindy
felt it was time for a rest. She
rarely runs now, "maybe once or
twice a week," but says she
would pick up competitive run-
ning again. Her advice to any
potential runners is to
"gradually work up to long dis-
tances, even starting with a half
a mile a day. Learn to set your
own pace and once ac-
complishing your goal, watch for
races and marathons in the
paper - Atlanta hosts many
women's races. And when
you've worked to complete a two
or even twenty-six mile race you
get that wonderful mental feel-
ing of accomplishment."

Cindy White

SDT Gains Exposure

Agnes Scott College Studio
Dance Theater expanded its
exposure in the dance world
Wednesday, October 8 with a
master class focusing on dance
therapy. Lucie Beinhorn, dance
therapist instructed the class.

Dance therapy is the
psychotherapeutic use of
movement as a process which
furthers the emotional and
physical integration of the in-
dividual.

Dance therapists work with

individuals who require special
services because of behavioral,
learning, perceptual and/or
physical disorders. Dance
therapy is used in the treatment
and rehabilitation of the
emotionally disturbed,
physically handicapped,
neuro logically impaired, and the
socially deprived. Therapists
work with people of all ages, in
groups and with individuals.

Dance therapists are em-
ployed in psychiatric hospitals,

clinics, day care, residential and
community mental health
centers, in correctional facilities,
and are in private practice.

After explaining the concepts
of dance therapy, Beinhorn had
the group participate in a ses-
sion similar to the ones she uses
in therapy. The emphasis was
understanding through
movement the worth of the in-
dividual and the individual's
relationship with others.

ASC Sponsors Third Environmental Symposium

'Today we are being forced
to make a transition from the
Industrial Age of non -
renewable resources to a new
and still undefined age based . .
. on renewable sources of
energy, and we will have to do
so in little more than one
generation. The radical change
in world view required to make
the transition will have to be
accomplished virtually
overnight." - - Jeremy Rifkin
(Entropy: A New World View)

One of the major questions
society will encounter in the
near future is how scarce
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 addressed, preferably
prior to allocation decisions.
These questions involve
sociological, technological,
ecological, and above all, ethical
aspects of our civilization.

We plan to sponsor the Third
Atlanta Environmental
Symposium January 27 - 28,
1981 (There will be no classes
Jan. 28.) to bring together
persons of interdisciplinary
interests relevant to the topic of
scarcity, and have them discuss
the implications of limited
resources on future human

endeavors. Agnes Scott College
hosted the First and Second
Atlanta Environmental
Symposia in 1973 and 1974.

Our target audience for these
discussions is the metropolitan
area adult community. We have
planned for extensive media
promotion, including television,
radio, newspaper, and
newsletter announcements. We
hope that this symposium will
point to alternative resources,
changes in current consumption
patterns, and suggestions for
lifestyle changes within the
context of our present political
and economic systems which
could lessen the impact of
scarcity.

We have written com-

mitments from all of the
speakers we have asked to
participate in the program. Barry
Commoner will open the
symposium with a talk ad-
dressing the nature of scarcity.
The second session will have
short papers on Environmental
Ethics: A Humanistic Perspec-
tive presented by Eugene Odum
(Ecology), Frederick Ferre
(Philosophy), Hazel Henderson
(Economics), and Robert Cahn
(Ecology, Journalism), followed
by discussion and audience
participation.

The third session will be a
luncheon address by David Orr
(Political Theory) on the Politics
of Scarcity. The fourth session
will again have short papers on

Environmental Ethics: A
Theological Perspective
presented by Jeremy Rifkin
(Author), Elizabeth and David
Dodson Gray (Ethics), Noel
Erskine (Theology), and Joseph
Lowery (Southern Christian
Leadership Conference),
followed by discussion and
questions from the audience.

The concluding session will be
an address by William Irwin
Thompson (Theology) who will
summarize the proceedings and
provide an overview of the is-
sues at hand.

Former U.S. Congressman
James Mackay of Decatur has
agreed to serve as moderator for
all the sessions.

Students Honored At Convocation

by Jeanie Morris

Mr. Lawrence L. Gellerstedt,
Jr., Atlanta business and civic
leader, addressed the annual
Honors Day Convocation on-
Wednesday, October 15. Mr.
Gellerstedt is chairman of the
Agnes Scott Board of trustees
and President of Beers
Construction Company. Mary
Duckworth Gellerstedt, his wife,
is an alumna and trustee of
Agnes Scott. Gellerstedt's civic
leadership encompasses many
areas. He is an immediate past
president of both the United Way
of Metropolitan Atlanta and the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Gellerstedt serves as direc-

tor to the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra, the Cerebral Palsy
Center of Atlanta, and the
Atlanta Association for
International Education as well
as a Board of Sponsors member
of the High Museum of Art. Also,
he is a director and past
chairman of the Atlanta Arts
Alliance.

Mr. Gellerstedt opened his ad-
dress by talking of the changes
which both Agnes Scott and
Atlanta have incurred since he
was in Atlanta as a student at
Georgia Tech in the early
1940s. The most obvious
change is the size of Atlanta. In
the last twenty - five years
Atlanta has almost tripled in

size. Atlanta has now instituted
a rapid transit system which has
the ability to travel from one end
of Atlanta to the other in fifteen
minutes. During his college
career, he would ride a trolley
from Georgia Tech to Agnes
Scott for only five cents;
however, "it took quite a while!"
But, the most interesting
changes have been made within
the college itself. Mr. Gellerstedt
is a strong witness to the fact
that social priviledges at Agnes
Scott have not always been what
they are today. In the early
1 940 's, freshmen could not date
unless they went with an
upperclassman and even then,
there were strict hours. Also,

Gail Godwin To Visit

Novelist Gail Godwin, author
of "Glass People" and other
"new consciousness" novels
about women, will read from her
novel in progress Wednesday,
Nov. 12, at 11 :30a.m. and 8:15
p.m. in the Winter Theatre of the
Dana Fine Arts Building.

About "Glass People," New
York Times reviewer Anatole
Broyard said, "I have been crying
out for contemporary woman's
'new consciousness' to express
or define itself in a good novel.
O.K., here it is."

Reviewer Lore Dickstein said
of Goodwin's novel, 'The Odd
Woman," that it "could be com-

pared, in sensitivity and
brilliance, to the best of Doris
Lessing and Margaret Drabble."

Godwin 's visit to Agnes Scott,
is part of atradition forfreshman
orientation. Each fall the
freshmen read an American
author's book and discuss it with
the author. In past years guest
writers for freshmen orientation
have included Eudora Welty,
Reynolds Price and Wallace
Stegner.

This year the freshmen read
Godwin's "Violet Clay," chosen
for its "readability and themes

any alcohol or smoking was in
strict violation of the ever -
present HONOR CODE.

On a much more sober note,
he spoke of the unchanging ideal
of Agnes Scott College. From the
beginning the Agnes Scott ideal
has been to have a "small
female liberal arts college with
academic excellence under a
Christian atmosphere." This
ideal individualized Agnes Scott
then as it does now. To keep this
ideal all the presidents of the
college have kept the student
population small. In choosing
only a small ratio of students to
applicants, one is able to have
the "most capable and well -
rounded students." Mr.
Gellerstedt gave us, the
students, a reminder of how
lucky we are to be at college as
great as Agnes Scott - a fact we
tend to forget in the midst of all
the studying and activities.

Dean Gary then recognized
those students who had excelled
in our society. Honors Day Con-

accomplishments of fifty - two
Honor Roll students and Three

Connie's Commentary

Fear And The Democrat

Just who is the Moral Majority
and why are they saying all
those terrible things about me?

There was a meeting of the
Moral Majority in Atlanta just
last week. The things they have
to say! Why, if there are folk who
believe in abolishing the
separation of church and state, it
is surely they. And if there are

folk who believe in gaining
political power so that we may
all do as they say or ELSE, bingo,
it's the Moral Majority again. I
hear tell that feminists, pro-
choice, pro-gay, (and by that I
mean anyone in favor of a ban
against capital punishment of
gays for being gay), secular
humanists, and Democrats, are
going to be used to mop up the

by Laurie McBrayer

Seemingly, the Equal Rights
Amendment is an appropriate
topic of discussion for the
student body of a woman's
college.

Originally, this article was go-
ing to be a feature reporting on
an ERA organizational meeting
held on campus two weeks ago.
Ms. Sherry Schulman, a
member of the E.R.A. Georgia
Executive Committee, em-
phasized the benefits of the pas-
sage of th is amendment. A ques-
tion and answer session plus
some E.R.A. literature instilled
one idea in my mind.
Clarification regarding the
E.R.A. is necessary; what this
amendment says and implies
are especially relevant.

The text to the proposed Equal
Rights Amendment to the

streets after their blood has been
let. Perhaps I'm over - reacting,
but I'm scared. For one thing, I'm
a Democrat.

But, be that as it may, this here
is a personal warning from yours
truly to beware. Wolves in
Lamb's clothing is a bit cliched,
but apt. And if any of you out
there are members of the Moral

Constitution reads as follows:

Section 1: Equality of rights
under the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by a state on account of
sex.

Section 2: The Congress shall
have the power to enforce, by
appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article.

Section 3: This amendment
shall take effect two years after
the date of ratification.

Ruth J. Hinerfeld, President of
the League of Women Voters,
said, "Whether it is the rules
governing employment op-
portunities, or inheritance laws,
or the question of equal pay for
equal work, the principal we are
committed to is fairness. And
that's what the E.R.A. is all
about."

Ms. Schulman explained that
the anti - ERA faction "zeroes in
on fears and ignorance." The
main arguments of the STOP
E.R.A. leader, Phyllis Schafly, is
that 'The ERA will do absolutely
nothing for women." One pam-
phlet by the E.R.A. Georgia Inc.
indicated that the E.R.A. op-

Jr. Year Abroad

For those sophomores an-
ticipating a major in English and
interested in exploring the pos-
sibility of spending their junior
year at a British university, there
will be a meeting with Mr.
Nelson of the English
Department in Room 202 But-
trick on TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER 4, 1980. The
meeting will be primarily in-
formational and is intended to
introduce students to the
process of making application to
the universities that interest
them. Jeanne Cole, Diane Shaw,
and Nancy Nelson, all members
of the Class of 1 981 who spent
their junior year in Great Britain
at the universities of Exeter and
St. Andrews, will be atthe meet-
ing to assist in outlining the op-
portunities for study in Great
Britain.

Majority, I'd like to state here
and publically that you do not
have a corner on morality. Why
even though I'm a Democrat, I'll
have you know that many of my
friends think I'm a throw - back
to the Victorian era. And I believe
God hears the prayers of the
Jews. How 'bout them apples?

I only hope that if the Moral

ponents have misconstrued the
facts. Their arguments have
surrounded the topics of the
draft, abortion and birth control,
homosexual marriages, and
financial obligations.

E.R.A. supporters have
explained that Congress already
has the authority to draft women
and that the amendment does
not make a stand on abortion
and birth control. The E.R.A.
would not permit homosexual
marriages: 'The E.R.A. prohibits
discrimination on account of
gender, not sexual preference,"
nor would it require husbands
and wives to contribute equally
to their household.

The E.R.A. has been ratified by
35 states. In order to pass, the
approval of three more states is
necessary. States that have not
passed the amendment include
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis-
souri, Nevada, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah
and Virginia.

The results of state ratification
so far, are as follows: "In no
state has the E.R.A. been
construed as allowing husbands
to leave their wives withoutsup-
port. No establishment of the
coed restrooms has been man-
dated. No homosexual
marriages have been sanctioned
... No vast volume of litigation
has occurred. On the contrary,
the state ERAs have worked
smoothly and effectively."

The impact of passage of the
ERA is debatable. This article
attempts to correct those mis-
conceptions that have
circulated. Those readers who
are still undecisive should
research the issue. Those who
have made a decision should
write their representatives and
express their opinions. The ma-
jority of Agnes Scott students
are from states that are
indecisive regarding the ERA.
Opinions of ASC students can
make a difference. The E R A. is-
sue is still alive;do notbe caught
uninformed or misinformed.

Majority gains power this article
won't finger me for letting the
cat of my persuasions out of the
bag. Like I said, I'm scared.

Winter
Course
Changes

Course and section changes
for the winter quarter must be
made on Tuesday, November 4
and Wednesday, November 5.
Students wishing to make 1)
changes in the courses they
have selected for the winter or
spring quarters of 2) section
changes in year or two - quarter
courses continuing from the fall
quarter may do so on these two
days. Those students who have
not completed course cards for
the winter quarter must do so on
one of these two days.

The red - tag list will be posted
on the official bulletin board in
the Buttrick lobby prior to
November 4. Red - tagged
students must have errors
corrected or obtain required
signatures on November 4 and
5.

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 winter quarter course
conflicts with a multi - section
year or two - quarter course for
which the student is already
registered, the student must
make the necessary section
changes on November 4 and 5.
No section changes can be made
during scheduling the courses
continuing from the fall quarter.

Careful checking of course
cards and schedules can prevent
problems on scheduling day. Un-
corrected errors on course
change days mean students will
be red - tagged for scheduling
and will automatically be in the
last group to schedule on
November 19.

After November 5, no course
or section changes can be made
until the drop/add period during
the winter quarter (January 5 -
14). No changes will be made on
scheduling day, November 19.
Textbooks for the winter quarter
will be ordered on the basis of
course enrollments as of
November 6.

A Thought:

"Students wear paths across
the campuses of universities,
beating down the grass, defying
all barriers, ignoring all
sidewalks. Student paths have
two things in common: they are
invariably the shortest distance
between two points, and they
are straight.

Cow paths are neither. They
always wander and turn a little,
and never go straight to the ob-
ject.

Humans take the straight
route, intent not on the journey
but on the destination. We
largely miss the trip, thinking
ahead to a future time.

Cows do not think ahead, and
perhaps see more of the coun-
tryside. Their paths are
unhurried, and more fun."

Land and Back

History Internship Provides Insight, Experience

by Colleen O'Neill

Junior Kathy Helgesen has
been working this quarter as an
intern with the Junior League of
Decatur. Her job is to piece
together the biography of a
prominent Decatur woman of
the Civil War era, Mary Harris
Gay.

Miss Gay, who died at age 90
in 1918, was the first historian

of the Atlanta chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
She was also an important
member of the local community
and a novelist whose best
known book, Life in Dixie, in-
fluenced Margaret Mitchell in
the writing of Gone With the
Wind.

To research Mary Gay, Kathy
haunts places like the Atlanta

and the Decatur Historical
Society, the Daughters of the
Confederacy and such Georgia
towns as Newnan and Gay. She
reads anything she can find
which was written by Ms. Gay
and also studies biographical
sketches and records. She said
that an especially valuable
source is the information she
learns form the people of Atlanta
and Decatur who still

remember Mary Gay. Kathy
spends much of her intern time
interviewing these people and
establishing Mary Gay's place in
the Civil War period.

Kathy is very involved in the
lore of the War for Southern
Independance. As a history ma-
jor she is at present writing a
paper on the Battle of Decatur.
This was a part ot the Battle of

Atlanta which began on the
Agnes Scott campus and ended,
a Confederate victory, at the
cemetery next to Winn Dixie.

For all of this work Kathy will
receive five hours credit. She ap-
plied for the internship rn July
through the Career Planning Of-
fice. The Junior League con-
tacted the office looking for a
junior or senior to do the job

Chemistry Interns Describe Jobs

by Nancy Asman

This summer three girls from
Agnes Scott worked full time at a
job related to their major - -
chemistry. Lynda Wimberly, a
senior, and Lydia Reasor, also a
senior, worked with the Phillips
Petroleum Company in Bartles-
ville, Oklahoma. Julie Ket-
chersid, a sophomore, worked in
the opthomology lab at Emory
Un ivers ity.

Each of these girls found their
summer jobs to be great learning
experiences. Lydia comments
about her job in the industrial
analysis branch of chemistry, "it
showed me a form of chemistry I
would not be exposed to in a
scholastic atmosphere " Ac-
cording to Lydia, her job involved
instrumental chemistry as op-
posed to wet chemistry. This is a
process in which the analysis of
a product is obtained by running
it thorugh a computer instead of
manually analysing it.
Instrumental chemistry is
imperative says Lydia, for the
large industries must analyze
products by the quickest and
most efficient method.

Lynda, also at Phillips
Petroleum, did analysis in a
different area. Lynda's job in-

volved combustion analysis.
This involved a lot of tedious
weighing and accuracy was
crucial. The best thing about her
internship according to Lynda
was "the experience gained
from working in industrial
chemistry." Lynda feels "the
internship program is a good in-
sight into what chemistry really
is about." Lynda's ideas for the
future have been "reinforced"
through her work at Phillips.
Although it was a learning
experience Lynda said she feels
she would not like to work in a
lab all her life.

Julie, who worked in the op-
thomology lab at Emory was in-
volved not so much with analysis
as she was with research. Julie
got her job at Emory by placing
an ad in a chemical magazine
stating she was a chemistry ma-
jor looking for a related summer
job; it worked. Specifically,
Julie's research included a study
on the light transmission
characteristics of eye lenses
with cataract conditions. This in-
volved the isolation of proteins in
the cataract's lenses. Julie also
said she felt the most beneficial
aspect of her work was the
experience she gained and the
confidence she acquired. Julie
said her job in the opthomology

lab "opened her eyes to the
many different avenues of
chemical research."

All three girls had paying
positions and did not receive
college credit. According to Ms.
Cunningham, for those students
two are going into some type of
chemistry of related field there
are internships available. These
internships are nationwide and
are associated with the Division
of Analytical Chemistry of the
American Chemical Society. In
1980, approximatley twenty to
thirty students were placed in
government, industrial, and
academic labs across the coun-
try. This is the route Lynda took
to find hersummer job. Ms. Cun-
ningham encourages those
Agnes Scott students genuinely
interested in such a program to
consider it early in the year,
(after the first of January). It
makes no difference if students
are freshmen or seniors,
however, some applicants to
specific jobs may have to be at a
certain academic level in
chemistry. According to Ms.
Cunningham, Lynda, Lydia, and
Julie are fine examples of the
"continuation of a long trend of
our being able to place most of
our students," in such
programs.

FOCUS ON FAITH:

Speakers Visit Campus

by Sheila Rogers

Christian Association
sponsored this years' first
"Focus on Faith" last Sunday
and Monday. The conference
featured a coffee house Mon-
day night with 1980
graduates Anna Bryan and
Susan Dodson, and four
separate lectures focusing on
the Christian's relationshipto
God, to friends, to authority,
to to future marriage
partners.

Bruce Wilkerson, founder
of Walk Through the Bible, led
the first discussion on
"Knowing God". Through a
series of provocative ques-
tions he demonstrated that
the essence of getting to
know God was found in the
Gospel. Only accepting and
acknowledging to God a
belief that a crime was com-
mitted (Adam, Eve, and the
"apple"), that Christ paid the
fine for that crime (death),
and that he offers a "paid-up"
receipt that can bring about a
knowledge of God himself.

The second lecture was
given by Chris Halverson, a
minister at North Avenue
Presbyterian Church and
leader in the Agnes Scott-
Georgia Tech Bible Study

held every Thursday night at
Georgia Tech.

Mr. Halverson spoke on
what it is to have true Chris-
tian fellowship with a friend.
Using 1 John 1 :7 as his text,
he pointed out that
"fellowship" is a tense, excit-
ing type of relationship
between people in which they
pray together, and for each
other, share burdens with
each other, confess wrongs,
and hold each other ac-
countable for wrongs through
gentle admonition. Most im-
portantly "fellowship'should
be considered an end in itself,
not a means to something
else.

The third lecture was given
by Diane Saunders, a worker
with Perimeter Presbyterian
Church. Ms. Saunders dis-
cussed the Christian's
relationship with authority.
Authority is put over one for
three reasons she explained:
1) For personal character
growth, 2) for protection, and
3) for direction. In reacting to
authority, the Christian is
expected to show obedience
and respect, whether it be
toward parents, government,

Transfer Student Compares Women's Colleges

by Kim Kennedy

As exam week approaches
and work becomes increasingly
demanding it may be a little dif-
ficult to believe that it is because
of that "challenge" that Sara
Sturkie transfered to Agnes
Scott this fall from Mary
Ba Idwin.

Actually, it was a culmination
of events that brought Sara, a
sophomore from Columbus,
Georgia, to Scott. She did not
choose it, however, last year as
she did not want to follow in her
sister Susan's, (a 1979
graduate) footsteps. She was
also lured to Mary Baldwin
because it was a "Virginia
school." One can also surmise

that the appeal of other Virginia
schools such as the University of
Virginia, Washington and Lee,
and VMI had some allure to a
young female high school
graduate!

But as the year progressed
Sara said she found herself com-
paring life at Mary Baldwin with
what she had heard of Scott
from her sister. She said she
noticed that academically she
was offered no challenge and
found the professors and ad-
ministration disappointing. She
said girls tended to be much
more liberal and did not share
the same ideals and morals as
she.

"In many ways the two
schools can be compared,"

explained Sara. Also being a
liberal arts college they were re-
quired to take a certain number
of courses out of each of thefour
divisions of academics. They,
too, were part of a strong Honor
System which Sara states,
"works as well as Agnes
Scott's." Mary Baldwin also
offers a Judiciary Board which
reviews social offenses such as
the possession of illegal drugs,
use of alcohol on campus, or
male guests setting off the fire
alarm.

One major aspect which is
significantly different is that of
dorm life. In two of the six dorms
on campus males were allowed
in students' rooms twenty -
three hours a day (24 - hour

parietals are considered pros-
titution in Virginia) every day.

Students voted each week
whether or not to have twenty -
three hour visitation on
weekends in three dorms. In
only one dorm were these hours
prohibited. Sara lived in one of
the dorms which voted and said
that not every weekend men
could be found on the halls
anytime of day. The general
consensus of the girls on cam-
pus was not opposed to this.
Sara offered no objection of
week night parietals (6 p.m. - 12
p.m.) saying that it "gave girls a
place to study, watch television,
or play backgammon with the
guys." But she did have objec-

tions to the twenty - three hour
parietals. "It was not uncommon
to wake up on Saturday morning
wanting to take a shower, only to
find it occupied by a male It
made you feel as though you
weren't even at a girls' school. It
seemed like an invasion of
privacy and it got very old."

Sara said she has been very
happy with her decision to
transfer to Agnes Scott. She sa id
she is enjoying getting to know
girls more like herself, being
closer to home, and the in-
dividualized treatment of her
professors. She said she is also
discovering exactly what she
had hoped to find - - a definite
academic challenge!

Psychedelic Furs. ..Madness - One Step Beyond...

Album File

The Psychedelic Furs

by S. Glover

The Psychedelic Furs' debut
album is, from beginning to end,
a pretty morose record. Richard
Butler (credited for "words" on
the jacket's back) is the unat-
tached observer, sneering at the
absurdities he perceives in the
things the common man puts his
faith in.

"Fall" and "Wedding Song"
are both dismal commentaries
on the institution of marriage.
Predictably, the wedded state is
judged to be "useless" and
"stupid" (Butler's two favorite
words). Despite this, the two are
quite fetching because vivid
images of pointlessness are con-
jured up with simple repetition
and not via massive quantities of
schmaltzy description, (...we
will be a part of structure you will
have a face of structure we will
make ourselves a scene we will
live our stupid dream . . . )

A pose as observer neces-
sitates alienation and
separation. The Furs seem well
aware of this fact Although
there is definitely interaction
between the vocalist and the
rest of the band, the words never
quite become a part of the music.
The melody is merely their
vehicle - - which isn't to say that
one is better than the other.
They're just different.

The rest of the band, con-
sisting of John Ashton and
Roger Morris, guitars; Tim
Butler, bass; Vince Ely, drums;
and Duncan Kliburn,
saxophones, form a tight unit

that can't help from reminding
one of a rather melodius Public
Image, Ltd. This is especially
noticeable when paired with
Butler's Lydonesque vocals. T.
Butler and Ely provide the
rhythmic stability for the
sometimes unorthodox
saxophone and guitar handling.
From the nervous agitation of
"Pulse" to the tranquility of
"Imitation of Christ" the band
seems to possess a sense of
direction uncommon on many
debuts.

The Psychedelic Furs evid-
ently think that they have some-
thing worthwhile to say. (Hey,
they printed their lyrics - un-
punctuated, of course - on the
sleeve, didn't they?) They have
proven themselves competent
musicians with a knack for
observation. Hopefully, with a
little time, this observation will
be extended to include a little
interpretation. A few solutions
wou Id make for a lot less depres-
sion

One Step Beyond

by Lunar Lily

One Step Beyond . in-
troduces the party music of the
Eighties - - not heavyhanded
funk, monotonous disco or
stale beach music - - but ska.
Based on a racing lurch and spr-
ing forward rhythm, ska is
eminently danceable. To be
sure, Madness is only one of the
ska groups now so popular in
England, and One Step Beyond
is only one of a slew of 'rock
steady' records recently
released, but it is one of the best.

Madness crams fourteen
songs and one chant onto One
Step Beyond . . . without losing
their joie de vivre at all. Though
it's a studio recording, OneStep
has all the energy of a live
performance. Woody Woods
Woodgate (drums) and Mark
Bedford (bass) lay down a groove
of slapdash yet solid 'rock
steady' beat over which the
tunes are splayed - - and you
know it's meant to be played I ive
when the jacket credits Chas
Smash for footwork (shouts and
vocals, too).

Well, to describe this stuff - -
it's raucous, funny, invigorating
and fresh, even though the
sources reach back as far as
Chuck Berry, Dixieland and the
Ventures. 'The Prince" pretty
much sums up the prevailing at-
titudes, "If you're not in the
mood to dance, stand back, grab
yourself a seat/ This may not be
uptown Jamaica, but we
promise you atreat"; it's alsothe
best song, for it has a percussion
- sax interplay that could empty
all seats. If that isn't enough,
another excellent song, "Night
Boat to Cairo" sounds like 'King
Tut does the tango to a rock
steady beat'. Meanwhile, the
flipside contains a truly unique
reworking of Swan Lake (trad.,
arranged by M. Barson).

A byproduct of this jumpy beat
is a needle that won't stay in the
grooves; this writer returned
three copies before getting a
decent record. Although this
defect deserves mention - - don't
give up - - it's definitely worth
the effort to obtain One Step
Beyond . . .

Auditions

As part of the Renaissance
Fair coming up in spring
qua rter the Theatre
Department needs six
talented women to form a
group of strolling players.
Together with three men
from the community these
women will perform several
short scenes from
Shakespearean plays and five
or six musical numbers from
Broadway musicals based on
Shakespeare's plays. The
strolling players, along with
dancers and musicians will
perform as a revue at the
Renaissance Fair on campus
April 23 and at the High
Museum of Art in Atlanta on
April 24.

Auditions for the 'adven-
ture' will be Tuesday, Nov. 4
at 7:30 p.m. in the Winter
Theatre of the Dana Fine Arts
Building. Those auditioning
should bring a piece of music
that shows off their voice in
the best possible way. The
audition will also consist of
readings and a little
movement.

The revue will be produced
in addition to the Theatre
Department's full production
load for winter and spring
quarters so rehersals will be
kept light, a maximum of two
to three hours per week
beginning early in winter
quarter and two nights (April
21 -22) to pull it all together.

Paul Simon In Concert

by Kathy Helgesen

Anyone who missed Paul
Simon at the Fox Theatre on
Friday, October 1 1 ought to feel
very sorry for him/herself
because he/she missed one of
the finest concerts Atlanta has
heard in a long time.

Simon had not appeared here
in five years, mainly because he
hated all the hasslesthattouring
involved. For instance, none of
his luggage arrived in Atlanta
when he did, so he had to borrow
a clean shirt to wear for the
concert.

Simon was in very good form
that night, although he was the
least - imposing looking person
on stage. He and his superb band
(the most expensive session
men in New York) were very hot;
they added an extra dose of
excitement to each song.

In two and one half hours they
played many old favorites from
Still Crazy After All These
Years, There Goes Rhymin
Simon, and the Simon and
Garfunkel days as well as much
material from One Trick Pony,
the soundtrack to Simon's new
movie.

The Jesse Dixon Gospel
Singers backed up Paul on
"Loves Me Like a Rock," which
was the crowd's favorite song.
"Fifty Ways to Leave Your
Lover" and Simon's new single,
"Late in the Evening" were also
enthusiastically received.

Simon and the band played
the latter song again to close the
third encore and the infectous
Latin beat and swinging horns
kept the delighted audience dan-
cing all the way home. Hopefully
it will not be five more years un-

Kinks Koncert Kronicles

by Diane Rolfe

Writing a review of a Kinks'
Koncert is not easy to do It is not
satisfactory to merely mention
the band, the audience and the
songs There is a personal
elemen* about the Kinks; one
which involves the 1 7 year his-
tory of the band as well as their
popularity in 1 930

The Kinks were founded by
two brothers, Ray and David
Davies, in 1963. They hit
America during the British in-
vasion of rock 'n roll in the mid
'60s, but somehow they stood
apart from the other bands. The
Kirks sang songs about an
England which no longer
existed. Their albums from the
late sixties will go unnoticed by
most Americans, but the
recordings are among the
greatest of rock 'n roll; better

than even the Beatles or the
Rolling Stones. Music critic Ken
Emerson said of them in 1969,
'The Kinks are fundamentally
unique. They've never done a
flower - power number, sung a
drug lyric, recorded a drum solo,
used a steel guitar or balled
Marianne Faithful." The des-
cription was completely ac-
curate

The Kinks have managed to
stay different from other bands.
In the last ten years they've
changed record companies
twice and gone through a period
of all - time low popularity. Most
of their records on the RCA label
aren't even worth buying. Their
musical theme was one of
persecution and nostalgia on
albums such as Everybody's In
Show Biz and the series of
Preservation Act I and Act II;

but the music was suffering
badly.

A change to Arista Records
stimulated the Kinks music, and
they even had one minor hit with
"Sleepwalker" in 1 977, the first
since "Lola" in 1970. "Low
Budget" made a major break-
through for them in 1 979. With
the release of a double live
album last summer, One For
The Road, the Kinks have raised
their popularity to its highest yet.
The live set contains a sampling
of the Kinks from the early days
of "You Really Got Me"to "Lola"
and up to their most recent
songs such as "Low Budget"
and "Catch Me Now I'm Falling".

The concert in the Fox on Oct.
20 by the Kinks sounded very
much like this album. Ray even
teased the audience in the same
way by starting to play "Lola"

and then stopping. He did, of
course, follow through with it
The Kinks were as energetic as
ever, and the audience was on
its feet for most of the show.
Dave Davies was spotlighted
more than previously; he even
performed two tunes from his
recently released solo album.
Drummer Mick Avory, the only
other original Kink, was con-
sistently powerful and expres-
sionless. Their songs ranged
from the classics "Where Have
All The Good Times Gone" to
their latest hits like "Gallon of
Gas". The Kinks even performed
a song called "Give the People
What They Want" which will be
on an album to be released in
June 1981. The audience was
obviously delighted with this
charming British band, and
called them back for two en-
cores.

Something about the concert,
however, left me feeling a little
bit disappointed It was the
realization that ten years had
gone by since the peak of the
Kinks' musical talent, and they
were just now making it big. I
also didn't like the idea of shar-
ing the Kinks, my Kinks, with a
bunch of stoned high school kids
who kept yelling "rock and roll"
as though they were at a Molly
Hatchet show.

This is not to say I didn't like
the Kinks' Koncert; this kultist
was nearly thrown out several
times for trying to climb to the
stage. I was just taken in by the
bittersweet nostalgia of the
Kinks music. There is no doubt
that the Kinks are still going
strong and having fun with their
music. God Save the Kinks.

Times Square

by Lunar Lily

Times Square is the latest
Robert Stigwood Organization
(RSO) movie that is supposed to
do for new wave music what
Saturday Night Fever did for
disco music: popularize it and, in
the process, put the soundtrack
album into millions of American
homes. Aside from being a
blatant excuse for compiling the
album, the movie itself never
wrenches out of unbelievability
long enough to be exciting.

The plot is relatively simple - a
pampered, bored daughter of a
rich NYC politico (Pamela) and
an orphaned streed kid (Nicki)
meet when they are both placed
in a hospital for neuro logical tes-
ting - Pam for her zombie
behavior and Nicki for her delin-
quency. A kindred spark is
ignited by Nicki 's outrageous an-
tics (she eats flowers, no less),
and they steal an ambulance to
run away.

Fortunately they find an empty
wa rehouse to live in
(miraculously the electricity is
connected and the decor is
stra ight from Performance ) and
support themselves by hustling
around Times Square. Pam
dances (clothed) in a topless bar
and Nicki turns the habitues into
punk fans by singing (abysmally)
with the house band. Then the
Sleaze Sisters, as they call

themselves, develop a taste for
dropping TV sets off the roofs of
tall buildings. This action and
their psuedo - punk music is
popularized by late night DJ (Tim
Curry) who manages to keep up
with the girls even as Pam's
father and the police hunt for
them.

The absurdities pile up, ending
with a conclusion equivalent to
"let's put on a show with all our
friends", neatly summarized as
pure dreck. Robin Johnson (Nic-
ki) can't sing, as she is supposed
to, but acts her hellcat role well
and possess a cunning, mobile
face of the Jagger - Tyler
persuasion . . . and it was
interesting to see Tim Curry in a
'straight' role.

Though the soundtrack is a
decent sampler of pre - punk and
new wave music, never more
than a snatch of each song is
played except for the opening
and closing tunes and Nicki's
creation, "Da mm Dog". The old
songs include past AM hits from
the Cars, Lou Reed, the Talking
Heads and the Ramones' "I
Wanna Be Sedated", while the
new stuff is the latest from Gary
Neuman, Roxy Music, the
Pretenders, XTC and Suzi
Quatro, as well as a disco - duet
(!) by Robin Gibb and Marcia
Levy (?!). Best just to skip this
mess and select your own
favorites on separate albums.

Senior Investiture

by Catherine Craig

The weekend of November 1 &
2 was a busy and exciting one for
the Class of 1 981 . This was the
weekend in which we were
formally "capped" to be seniors.
Yes, we have sung "We Are
Tired Old Seniors" ap-
proximately 95 times, yet it was
this weekend in which our
status was officially announced.
This ceremony is a unique
tradition to Agnes Scott, during
which Dean Gary places the
mortar board on each senior.
Preceding the capping
ceremony, Professor Margaret
Pepperdene spoke on Agnes

Scott's life as a college for
women. Afterwards, the
seniors, ourfamilies and friends
attended the Deans' Brunch
given by Dean Kirkland and
Dean Gary. Sunday morning
brought a breakfast hosted by
President and Mrs. Perry,
followed by the Investiture
Worship Service. Dr. William J.
Holmes of the Decatur Pres-
byterian Church led the service.
It was a great weekend for the
seniors to be with their parents,
and the first of two of those
exciting encounters this year.
The next? Why, graduation, of
course!

FOCUS Qn Faith continued from page 3

professors or business
leaders, or spiritual leaders.
In learning respect and
obedience to these local
authorities one can better
offer obedience and respect
to the ultimate authority.

Lastly, Mrs. Charles
Stanley, wife of the First Bap-
tist Church of Atlanta
minister Dr. Charles Stanley,
spoke on the relationship
between Christian women
and the men they date. Mrs.
Stanley pointed out that any
questions a women might
have about a relationship are

answered in the Bible. She
urged women to not worry
about who and when they will
marry. The commandment
"Be notanxiousforanything"
should definitely be applied in
this situation. Mrs. Stanley
urged instead that Christian
women concentrate on their
relationship with the Lord,
and also work on preparing
herself for a marriage
situation.

Two other Focus on Faith's
will be held, one in Winter
Quarter and one in Spring
Quarter.

Kathy Fulton: Consistency Is Important

f

Consistency isthe name of the
game for juniortennis star Kathy
Fulton. Much like her favorite
pro, Bjorn Borg, Kathy plays a
steady game with an icy front
that has proved quite successful
for her. In only her second year
of collegiate competition, Kathy
has emerged as the backbone of
the Agnes Scott team. This
season's first two matches
against Oglethorpe and North
DeKalb Community College saw
her breeze to victory without
dropping so much as a game. In
the Oglethorpe match she was
the only Scottie who won and
against North DeKalb she won
both singles and doubles.
Singles play is Kathy 's forte and
her total mental control during a
match has consistently proven
too much for her opponents. Her
game plan is not that of the

aggressive serve - and - volleyer
but rather a steady baseline ef-
fort. Of her strategy, Kathy
remarked, "I'm gonna let them
blow it." When on occasion she
does make an unforced error,
she doesn't dwell on it as many
more tempermental players are
prone to do. Kathy tries not to
think about matches beforehand
and is rarely upset when she
loses because she consistently
gives the game her best effort.

Coach Messick, characterized
by Kathy as a "slave driver but a
great coach," feels that Kathy
has provided an excellent exam-
ple for the team's many
freshmen. She always makes
practice despite a class load of
seventeen hours, and
extracurricular activities which
include dorm council, SAR's,

and Black - Cat Production. She
is an excellent student who
maintains a 2.8 GPA and who
likes her chosen economic ma-
jor. Coach Messick also stressed
the fact that Kathy always dis-
plays true sportsmanship on and
off the court. Most importantly,
she maintains her self - con-
fidence and is always there to
boost the spirits for her team-
mates whenever they have an
off day.

Kathy 's goals for this year are
to win at least 66 % of her mat-
ches, to improve her strategy,
and to play higher than the
number six position she oc-
cupied last year. So far, she is
doing. well with a 3 - 1 record
playing the 4 position and
appears well on the way to
another fantastic season.

Teace Markwalter: Part Of A Tradition

by Sue Feese

Excellence on the tennis court
is a tradition for the Markwalter
women. Not so long ago, Maria
Harris Markwalter played the
number one position on the
Agnes Scott tennis team. This
year, daughter Teace reigns as
the top singles player at Scott.
Her rise to the top has taken
much time and effort - Teace
first hit the courts some thirteen
years ago and has played on the
Scottie team for three years.
Teace is presently in her junior
year and working diligently on
her economics major. Last
season, she was a consistent
player at the #2 position andthis
year she moved up to the
number one position.

success must be attributed to
her mental game. In recentyears
she has been able to add a win-
ning game strategy to her
aggressive match play. Teace
lists concentration and
determination as the key points
of her improved mental game.
When she walks onto the court
for a match, she leaves all
preconceived notions about her
opponent behind. As she says,
"Anybody can beat anybody on a
given day." After a disappointing
rally, Teace simply concentrates
harder and refuses to give up.
She actually plays better when
she is forced to come from
behind. In a recent match, she
was beh ind 1 - 6 yet won the pro

Jockey Shorts

Tennis:

On Tuesday, October 14, the
Agnes Scott tennis team met
their strongest competitors,
Georgia Tech. Senior, Kim
Lenior defeated her opponent 6-
3. 5 7, 6-3 in a steady match
Although freshman, Sue Feest
lost her match 3-6, 6-7, she

played a tough and aggressive
game. In doubles, Georgia Tech
players downed Agnes Scott's
Sue Fees and Nancy Griffith 5-
8 due to a slow start.

Their coach, Miss Messick
feels the team is stronger this
fall than last season.

Hockey:

The Agnes Scott Hockey Team
played Vanderbilt and Suwanee
on October 18th and 19th at
home Although Agnes Scott
was defeated 2-0 by Vanderbilt
and 5-0 by Suwanee Miss
McKemie said they had a lot of 0-0

fun On Sunday Vanderbilt was
defeated by Suwanee 1 -0.

In the Black Cat games Oc-
tober 17th. the sister class
games (Junior-Freshmen vs.
Sophomore-Seniors) was tied at

set in a tie breaker 9 - 8. As for
her favorite opponents, Teace
readily confesses that "tall, dark,
and handsome" players are the
most fun, which is why she lists
Roscoe Tanner and Guillermo
Vilas as her favorite mixed
doubles partners. In all
seriousness, Teace plays best
against opponents who she can
outlast in rallies and "who aren't
afraid to hit the ball." Players
who drop shot and lob "dinkers"
generally give her the most
trouble. Teace feels that this
year's Scottie team is one of the
strongest in recent years
because of its depth.

The one problem she believes

could harm the team in the M

spring is a lack of dedication to

the rigorous practice and match I

schedule. "We do have fun I

though," Teace adds, which is -

one of the main reasons she I

plays. Anyone who has played |

Teace will admit that it was fun,

even though the challenger I

probably came out on the short I

end of the score. The fall season
has been frustrating for Teace

because of a painful heel injury

which forced her to miss the I
latter part of the season. During

the winter off - season she will .

hopefully recover and be going I

full strength in time for the ]

spring season. A teammmate

noted, "If we could keep that girl j

ontwo feet, she would be great." I

Teace 's goals this spring will be P

to improve her net play and to I

perfect her mental game If the "

fall season was any indication, j?

she should accomplish these p
goals and have a most

successful spring. m I

Welty Returns to Agnes Scott

The South ' First Lady of Literature E udora Welty will read from
her short stories and novels Friday, Nov. 1 4, for an arts evening at
Agnes Scott College at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

The South 's first lady of
literature, Eudora Welty, will
read from her short stories and
novels Friday, Nov. 14, at Agnes
Scott College for an arts evening
of the symposium, "Southern
Women from Myth to Modern
Times." Sharing the arts even-
ing program with Miss Welty will
be the Studio Dance Theatre in
performances of three works
choreographed by women.

The arts evening will begin at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

The Southern Women
symposium, Nov. 13 - 15, is
sponsored by the Atlanta His-
torical Society and other
organizations, including Agnes
Scott College in conjunction
with the Historical Society's
exhibit "Atlanta Women from
Myth to Modern Times." The
symposium will examine the
range of Southern women's ac-

complishments, contributions
and problems, past and present.

For the arts evening, the
Studio Dance Theatre will
perform "Visions," a suite of two
dances choreographed by Mrs.
Darling, 'The Rehearsal," by
Agnes Scott 1980 graduate Lil
Easterlin and "Fugace" by
another 1980 graduate, Lynne
Perry.

Miss Welty, who won the
Pulitzer Prize in Literature in
1973 for her novel "The Op-
timist's Daughter," is one of
several Southern authors who
has been a major influence in
American literary life in the 20th
century. A resident of Jackson,
Miss., Miss Welty writes of her
native South. Yet, according to
critics, her writing is not limited
to regionalism, but instead deals

with the universal themes of
humankind.

In recognition of her con-
tribution to American literature,
Miss Welty was awarded a
Presidential Medal of Freedom
in June, 1980.

"In my judgment," stated
Margaret W. Pepperdene,
chairman of the Agnes Scott
English department, "Miss
Welty is the most distinguished

writer of stories alive today. She
has always been a favorite guest
at Agnes Scott. She has twice
been a guest writer for our an-
nual Writers' Festival, and two
years ago she was our guest
author for the freshman class's
academic orientation. It is to the
credit of our students that she
considers Agnes Scott her
second home."

Groups Will Involve Students In Symposium

by Val Hepburn

By this time, most Agnes Scott
students should know that the
Atlanta Environmental
Symposium is to be held at
Agnes Scott January 27-28,
1 981 . What may not be known is
the fact that there are to be
numerous distinguished
authors in attendance. Each
author (co - authors) will be lead-
ing a discussion group at some
point during the symposium to
talk about his/her works and
ideas. These discussion groups
are an intrinsic part of the
symposium and everyone is en-
couraged to participate. Below is
a list of the authors and their
work(s). It has been suggested
that each student choose an
author and read his/her book
over the Christmas break - - so
that students will be informed on
the subject for the discussion
group. Sometime before the

symposium there will be a short
discussion with a faculty
member to help clarify some of
the author's major points.

Here are the authors and their
works. (Most of the books are
available in the bookstore.
Libraries and popular bookstores
should have those that aren't.)

Robert Cahn: Footprints on
the Planet: In Search of an En-
vironmental Ethic.

Barry Commoner,The Poverty
of Power or The Closing Circle

Ferre, Shaping the Future:
Resources for the Post -

On October 23, a committee
composed of the heads of the
campus organizations (including
boards, clubs, honorary
societies, and publications)
investigated the validity of es-
tablishing four new
organizations on the Agnes
Scott campus. College Bowl,
Film Series, Circle K, and the
Executive Roundtable were ap-
proved by the committee. Rep
Council approved the written
constitutions of these
organizations on October 27.
Before the organizations can be
fully established on the Agnes

Scott Campus, the Ad-
ministrative Committee must
approve the constitutions. The
Administrative Committee will
consider the constitutions
before the end of Fall quarter.

I believe every one knows
what the Film Seriesand College
Bowl are, but let me tell you
briefly what the Circle K and
Executive Roundtable are. Circle
K is a service organization,
which is sponsored by the
Kiwanis Club. Membership is
open to all students and service
is given off campus to charities,
hospitals, and orphanages. The

Executive Roundtable is being
sponsored by the Economics
Department. This group will
foster interest in industry and
business and will consist of
students, faculty, and business
men and professionals in the
Atlanta area.

There was a convocation
sponsored by SGA on October
29th concerning student ac-
tivities fees and board
allotments. Attendance was
pitiful. There were 7 Rep Council
members present, 2 faculty
members and only 1 1 treasurers
of the boards present. Conse-

quently, there should be no grips
concerning allotments and
students having to pay for and
subsidize campus activities. No
interest or enthusiasm - - no
change in allotments. Come on
girls, lets try to show some
interest in convocations,
especially when it concerns
your own money I

Congratulations to all the new
freshman officers and represen-
tatives. We are proud of you and
are positive that you will do an
outstanding job!

That's all the griping for nowl

Epicurean's Delight... Empress of China

by Penny Rush Wistrand
- EMPRESS OF CHINA -

5561 Memorial Drive, Stone
Mountain. 296-2121 Open for
lunch and dinner. Closed Mon-
days.

A few years ago there was a
boom of Chinese restaurants in
the Atlanta area - a few of them
serving very good food and more
than most serve what I consider
mediocre. The Empress of China
has quite good food, with large
portions and reasonable prices.
Those are pretty good
qualifications.

Located in the Village Square
Shopping Center about 2 Vi
miles outside the Perimeter, the
restaurant does not have dis-
tinctive decor. They have the
usual red and black variety. And
for that matter the menu is about

the same as most other Chinese
restaurants as far as content.
They offer a large variety but
where this place stands out is
where it counts, the food on the
table.

We chose the combination
dinner for two but made major
substitutions which they allow.
We began with Sizzling Rice
Soup which was very good.
Other than the rice the broth
was filled with shrimp, carrot
cubes, green peas, bamboo
shoots, green onions, water
chestnuts and mushrooms. At
the same time they served us a
plateful of six Pot Stickers. These
little ditties are ground pork,
veggies and spices served with a
dipping sauce. Our pot stickers
were fried a little too much and
the sauce seemed like plain soy
which should have had more
pizzazz.

The two entrees we chose
were Szechuan (or twice -
cooked) Pork and Princes
Prawns and both were winners.
The Szechuan Pork ($4.50) is
thinly sliced pork that issteamed
then braised with vegetables
and hot pepper sauce. The
Princess Prawns (5.95) were
also a delight with large crus-
taceans deep fried and blended
with special hot sauce. Both
dishes had a soy - based sauce
and were marked as hot and
spicy on the menu. Although I
didn't chow down on one of the
red peppers on the plate, I didn't
find either one particularly hot.
They were in fact spicy with just
enough to have a zip and of
course I really loved them both.
All dinners are served with rice,
hot tea and a fortune cookie
(which I'll get into later).

Other than the choices we

made, the menu offers some-
thing for everyone. Plenty of
appetizers (such as egg rolls,
wontons, mandarin ribs and
chicken wings), soups, and a
vast array of Oriental beef, pork,
fowl and seafood entrees. They
alsoservechow meins, lomeins,
salads (for the calorie conscious,
and vegetable side dishes for the
ravenous.

The Empress of. China,
definitely offers good food and is
worth a try. The fortune cookies
we got told us "you will be rich"
and "success soon." I've
decided to give them a little time
to come through before I call for
my next reservations. If success
and money doesn't come my
way soon that restaurant is off
my listl

Mmmm... The Dessert Place

by Carol Goodman

If you have not yet visited the
Dessert Place, you are denying
your tastebuds some of the most
exquisite delights in Atlanta.
This small (and scrumptious)
shop features elegantly simple
sweets made from only the
finest natural ingredients. Upon
entering the doors you are
aware of the freshness of the en-
tire establishment with its
luminous white atmosphere of
an efficient kitchen that is muted

only by the white oak furniture,
the fine cooking utensils, and
the display of those marvelously
edible creations that make this
stop famous. Although
weekend night visits to the
Dessert Place may involve some
waiting in line, this wait is short
and will give you the chance to
gaze on the array of delicacies
while you read the chalkboard
menu and try to decide which
choice will best satisfy your
sweet tooth.

The menu includes such
favorites as luscious carrot cake,

fine Haagen Dazs icecream (that
you can get with granola),
cheesecake, chocolate cream
cheese brownies and apple pie.
All are cut in nice large portions.
This place serves as an excellent
way to top off an evening's
entertainment or as the perfect
satisf ier for those overwhelming
munchies.

Even though the prices are
higher, the Dessert Place beats
Krispy Kreme by a few hundred
miles and is even closer to Scott;
it is located on Virginia Avenue
just past Highland Road. EnjoyI

Midsummer Night's Dream

A Review
by Colleen! Flaxington

The performance by the Anges
Scott College Blackfriars last
weekend of Shakespeare's A
Midsummer Night's Dream

was greatly enjoyed by the
almost capacity audience. The
interpretation of Shakespeare's
play as seen through the eyes of
the contemporary world of the
80's was a definite success, as it
caused the audience to more
readily understand and identify
with the characters. This type of
presentation was also a source
of some of the play's comic
aspects.

One of the funniest scenes of
the play is the enactment of
Pyramus and Thiaby by the
'good old mountain boys' of the
local Dramatic Club. Indeed all
scenes with these frolicking
characters are delightful. The

performance of Bottom by Mike
Heck was outstanding.

The ingenuity of the seem-
ingly simple set is remarkable,
however, a few scene changes
were perhaps unnecessary and
merely delayed the action.

The only time the strands of
the plot were somewhat mud-
dled was in the dialog between
Oberon and Titania concerning a
little boy whom they both want
and Titania currently has.
However, this ambiguity does
nothing to detract from the
overall clarity of the plot.

The character of "Puck",
perhaps one of the most diff icult
to perform, was played by
Maggie Taylor with great charm
and unselfconsciousness.

The evening of A Midsummer
Night's Dream was a real treat
and thoroughly enjoyed. Once
again the Blackfriars have done
an excellent job and are here
heartily commended.

Talking Heads'
Remain In Light

by S. Glover

A gentle collapsing / The
removal of the insides . . . The
center is missing ..." so the
Talking Heads define their latest
effort, Remain In Light on the
Ip's final cut titled, aptly enough,
'The Overload."

Remain In Light is an

overload of sorts an excess of
surfaces and exteriors. Granted,
the album's songs began as
instrumental by the band plus
producer Brian Eno; but the
album's real substance exists
above this core in the
topographical instrumental
effects, injections and voices
added by Eno and David Byrne
after the band's exit.

Perhaps one reason for this is
the larger role that Eno plays. His
fascination with the effects that
can be generated by "messing
around" with instruments and
equipment has long been the
basis of most of his musical out-
put. His recent work with pan -
cultural music crops up here in
the African and p - funk oriented
rhythmic patterns and sim-
plistic, repetitious melodies so
much so that the record almost
begins to sound like a top - forty
follow - up to the Eno - Jan
Hassell collaboration, Fourth
World Vol. 1 Possible Musics.
There's even a classic
evanescent Hassell trumpet bit
in the constrained "Houses in
Motion."

The lyrics, also, become a part
of this ever - changing veneer of
sound. In the funky "Cross - eyed
and Painless" words are
manipulated in order to cause
sensations in the ea rs, not in the
brain. The actual superim-
position of vocal lines one atop
the other and the weaving of
these lines through themselves
and the music conveys the feel-
ing of ". . . water flowing
underground . . ." and life pas-
sing by as successfully as the
words themselves in "Once in a
Lifetime."

But, remember, this IS a Talk-
ing Heads album. Despite the
excessive surface of sounds
created and the preponderance
of unusual polyrhythms, it's still
great dance music.

Roxy Music's
Flesh + Blood

by Sister Ray

Most Agnes Scott students
would probably think Roxy
Music is another name for rock
'n roll. Actually they are a band
from Britain which started in the
early seventies. Led by Bryan
Ferry, Roxy has always created
original concepts in music. They
were new wave' before there

was even such a thing, and they
were blase before it was
fashionable to be that way. One
of their original members (no
longer with them, though) was
Brian Eno, who is now in-
fluencing major bands like the
Talking Heads with electronic
and sound perfections.

The latest Roxy Music album,
entitled Flesh + Blood, was
released last summer. It created
a mild sensation in the world of
music, which is promising since
their album prior to Flesh +
Blood, Manifesto, received very
little notice.

The title track is without a
doubt the best song on the
record. It has an eerie and
menacing sensation to it with
the traditional Roxy theme of
lust (slightly reminiscent of
"Love Is the Drug"): "My friend's
flesh and blood/ She lies
overtime/ You'd nail her if you
could, but she says/ Love me for
my mind, in my time/ I'm not
that kind". Ferry even describes
her in terms of the Bo Derek
trend - - in the second stanza his
friend is "night size, perfect
ten". The song "Flesh and
Blood" is essentially one of frus-
tration and the search for sexual
satisfaction.

There are other songs on the
album which are outstanding:
"Same Old Scene" (opening
song of the movie Times
Square, "Over You" and
"Strange Delight." A few of the
songs are too droning and too
typically Roxy Music, for exam-
ple, "Oh Yeah" and "My Only
Love". There are also two
remakes on Flesh+Blood; "The
Midnight Hour" which is a clas-
sic Wilson Pickett tune and
"Eight Miles High", the old
Byrds' song. 'The Midnight
Hour" is done well; it flows very
smoothly with Bryan Ferry's dis-
tinctive vocals. Many people
consider his voice to be phony or
forced, but I just don't agree. It
sounds beautiful on this album.
"Eight Miles High" is a bit overly
synthesized, almost sounding
like it's being played under
water.

Flesh + Blood is definitely
worth buying, despite a few less
than perfect songs. After all, it is
a rare album on which every
song is a good one. The
musicians on the record are just
right for this type of music. Andy
MacKay and Phil Manzanera
have been with Roxy for a long
time. They work well with Bryan
Ferry.

If you've never heard Roxy
Music before, make it a point to
listen to at least one of their
albums (there are about ten). I
find that usually people either
really love Roxy Music or they
don't like them at all. Theirs is
definitely a cult following.
Maybe you'll be the next
member.

Politics? Ha, who caresl If it
hadn't been for the obnoxious
button and t-shirt peddlers and
the occasional "Anderson
who?" no one would have
guessed politics to be the
catylyst initiating the evening's
performance. The October 1 1th
Anderson - Agora Benefit was a
tribute to the high - driven rock
and roll of Todd Rundgren and
Ian Hunter - - notto independent
presidential candidate John
Anderson.

The first of two sold - out
shows began almost precisely at
the announced nine PM.
Rundgren and Hunter greeted
the shouting crowd of 1300 with
a version of Jeff Lynne's "Do
Ya," featuring the duel guitars of
Rundgren and Hunter, sup-
ported by drummer Michael
Shrieve, Santana bassist Steven
Dees, and keyboardist Tommy
Mandel. Despite the fact that the
band was assembled only a few
days prior to their Agora
appearance, the sound wastight
and full. They then moved easily
into a pair of Rundgren tunes,
"Black and White," and "Love of
the Common Man," showcasing
Rundgren on lead guitar and
vocals.

Ian Hunter, the man behind
the now defunct Mott the
Hoople, appeared unusually
subdued during the Rundgren

compositions. He contributed
only sporadic vocal support (he'd
learned more of the words by the
second show), but provided a
steady rhythmic backup.
However, on his own "Just
Another Night," "Bastard," and
"Once Bitten, Twice Shy,"
Hunter released the energy for
which he is noted. Bedecked in
his usual black - rimmed, wrap -
around sunglasses, Hunter
bounded around the stage, en-
couraging the audience to join in
on songs with which they were
familiar.

Rundgren, garbed in silver
tennis shoes, black satin
parachute pants, and an
Anderson t-shirt, soloed in "The
Last Ride" one of the best
moments of the evening. His
voice was exceptionally flexible,
allowing him the use of his
trademarked falsetto wailing, as
well as a raspy forcefulness,
which he employed int he classic
"Black Maria." Touring behind
the recent release of a new
Utopia LP, "Deface the Music,"
Rundgreen included a brief
collage of Beatlesque music;
"Neddies and Pins," "I Just
Want to Touch You," (the only
Utopia tune of the evening), and
a tamed 1 2 - bar - blues rendition
of "Eight Days a Week," in
which he was joined by an en-
thusiastic Hunter.

Only one reference to the

political cause was made during
the entire 90-minute set. In an
extended version of "Cleveland
Rocks," Hunter initiated an an-
tagonizing chant of "Reagan
sucks," which progressed, to the
horror of the Anderson camp, to
"Anderson sucks." Although
Hunter openly admitted his
absence of sentiment for any
presidential candidate,
Rundgren, who is an Anderson
supporter and the organizer of
the 11 - city benefit tour,
retaliated with a hail of guitar
picks and the subtle warning
that Hunter had best "watch his
ass . . ."

The show was concluded with
Hunter's traditional sign - off
number, Mott the Hoople's "All
the Young Dudes." The band
returned for an appropriate en-
core of Rundgren's "Just One
Victory." Because of the time
element involved in performing
a second show, the band did not
return for a subsequent offering,
but shook hands with the
audience members fortunate
enough to come within reaching
distance.

Although the Todd Rundgren/
Ian Hunter benefit was in-
significant in swaying public
attention towards the platform
of Independent John Anderson,
the concert was an evening with
two of the most exciting figures
in rock and roll at their best.

Same Old Good Old Time

by Lunar Lily

Sunday, the second day of
November, brought good ol' boy
Charlie Daniels and his band to
the Fox drawing a good ol' crowd
(sold out) dressed in their finest
Sassoon and Levi's jeans and
everyone, almost, possessing a
cowboy hat.

Progressing from back to
front, the encores consisted of
"Dixie", "Amazing Grace",
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken"
and one other hymn, while the
greatest hits were clustered
near the end of the set. "Uneasy
Rider", "The Devil Went Down
To Georgia" and "Long Haired
Country Boy" are not bad,
especially when livened up on

stage, but the rest of the songs
sounded very much the same or
else downright hokey. There's
nothing wrong with redneck
rock except when it's molded
around an unsuitable theme,
such as the song "El Toredor".
'The South's Gonna' Do It
Again" was passable, but the
guitars drowned out the fiddle -
playing, which is the best part.

As if the Charlie Daniels Band
wasn't enough by itself, a five -
piece horn section, three chick
singers in spandex pants and a
group of doggers eventually
appeared onstage. And, it
seemed that every other song
was dedicated to a dead rock star
(Toy Caldwell, Ronnie Van
Zandt, Janis Joplin, etc ) with

the Lynyrd Skynyrd band
appearing in a painted backdrop
for their memorial song. The
crowd loved it; they cheered for
every morbid mention.

The best pa rt of the show was
Jimmy Hall's opening set. Jim-
my, the former lead singer for
Wet Willie, is now striking out on
his own, and his solo set was
amazingly good. His voice is
probably the best all - around in
the South for singing rock and
roll and rhythm and blues.
Jimmy pulled a"ll his material
from his new solo album, except
for "Keep On Smilin" (the big
Wet Willie hit). His duet with
Bonnie Bramlett (surprisel) was
a real scorcher. Hope he returns
real soon.

Minimal Kenny Rogers

by M.B. Hebert

Is it just me, or are concerts
getting shorter every year? Oct.
26, Kenny Rogers gave Atlanta
one of the best concerts it has
probably ever experienced. But it
was only 45 minutes longl That
wasn't even long enough for all *
his hits.

He did, however, pack the time
with most of his old gold and a
few new winners. His between
song jokes and lines were warm
and amusing.

The audience was as receptive
as they come (if you've never
been to a country musicconcert,

you've never seen a truly friend-
ly audience). To warm them up
further he threw out (as he
always does) a few tambourines
to the audience and instructed
them to "help out" on the fast
songs and "keep quiet, please"
on the auiet ones.

"Lucile" and '-'Lady" were ob-
viously the 17,000 fans'
favorites. The entire audience
sang "Lucille" with Rogers and
"Lady" melted the female
portion. As a matter of fact, I
have it on the best authority that
when Kenny began "Lady," the
ladies' room clearedl

Kenny Rogers is one of several

country singers whose songs
have begun crossing over to the
pop charts. This expansion of
audience is due, though, more to
a change in what people are
listening to than in any change
in his music. Personally, I just
think everyone's catching on to
what's always been a good
thing.

Dottie West, who sang before
and with Rogers, was fantastic
in both appearance and
performance. Dave and Sugar
warmed up the audience and
were pretty good considering
how difficult it is to perform for
people that come to see
someone else.

Political Forum Featured Candidates' Views

by Tiz Faison

Agnes Scott's political forum,
held two weeks ago, was a
preview of the national debates
with wider representation.
Sponsored by the Young
Republicans, Young Democrats,
and Mortar Board, the forum in-
volved representatives from the
Republican Party (Reagan), the
Libertarian Party (Clark), the
Citizen's Party (Commoner), the
Democratic Party (Carter), and
the Anderson Party. Each
representative discussed their
candidate's policy on various is-
sues and a question - answer
session followed.

The Republican represen-
tative, Carol Lancaster, began
the forum with a hard - hitting
speech. The Republican em-
phasis was on "strong peace," a
concept of increased military
strength stressed by Republican
candidate, Ronald Reagan,
throughout his campaign. Ms.
Lancaster questioned an
agreement, like the SALT II
Treaty, which in supposedly
equal terms, allows one side to
have three times the strategic
arms supply of the other.
Reagan's campaign also
stressed major cuts in unneces-
sary government spending. The

Republican candidate's energy
program included the further
development and use of coal,
solar power, and nuclear energy.
Asked about Reagan 's stance on
the Iranian hostage situation,
Ms. Lancaster replied that
Reagan had not voiced his policy
for fear of endangering the lives
of the hostages, because
Reagan would have to have
access to all the information and
options before making any major
policy decision.

The Libertarian Party, backing
Ed Clark for President, proposed
a non-intervention foreign
policy. The Libertarians em-
phasized staying out of war at all
costs, as seen by Clark's op-
position to increased military
budgetandthe re-establishment
of the draft. The representative
spoke of the use of alcohol as a
energy substitute for oil, in order
for the possibility for the res-
toration of the "American
Dream." Involving the hostage
situation, the Libertarian's
policy included an apology to
Iran and the returning of the
Iranian's money.

The Citizen's Party's
representative, supporting Barry
Commoner for President,

stressed their newly formed
organization as a party for all
people. Recognized by the
National Election Committee
just this past December, the
Citizen's Party's major concern
was the spreading of their name
and beliefs, realizing the
inevitable defeat of their can-
didate in the 1980 election. The
platform included cuts in the
military budget, and opposition
to the MX missile, registration
and the draft. Solor energy,
depletion of nuclear power, and
public control of energy in-
dustries were cited in the energy
policy of the Citizen's Party. This
political organization also took a
non-adventurous stance in
foreign policy and felt the people
should be made aware of ,the
hostage dealings by the
exposure of all records. The
Citizen's Party pushed hard the
last leg of the Presidential race
to get 5 % of the nationa I vote in
order to receive $6 million in
Federal matching funds.

The Carter representative
opened his talk with emphasis
on the negative press coverage
Carter receives, making Carter
look weak in domestic and
foreign policy. Being able to use

four years of Carter's ad-
ministration, the Democratic
representative rattled off facts
and figures. In the military
department and foreign
relations, draft registration, the
Israel - Egyptian settlement, and
the boycott of the Olympics, curb
sale of grain and transfer of
technology to the USSR, due to
Russian aggression in Afghanis-
tan, were listed among Carter's
accomplishments. According to
the Carter speaker, the U.S. is
less dependent on oil due to a 22
% reduction in oil imports, and
expansion and development of
domestic energy sources. The
Carter administration has
created 8 Vi million new jobs and
has increased the , Gross
National Product by 1 2 %. In the
handling of the hostage
situation, the Carter represen-
tative cited Carter's trade
boycotts as major affects on
Iran's scarce availability of
public gas, and food shortage.
The representative felt certain
that the U.S. "will get our hos-
tages back in the next few
weeks."

The Anderson speaker opened
with a comment about the
extreme difficulty Anderson had

in obtaining ballot status in
Jimmy Carter's Georgia
Anderson, running on an
independent basis, felt gun laws
should remain, because "most
criminals would notbecriminals
if they did not have guns." Ac-
cording to the Independent can-
didate, abortion rights should be
established, because abortion is
a personal affair and not a
governmental decision.
Anderson's energy policy called
for aid to the initial development
of the energy sources. In
disagreement with other
representatives at the ASC
forum, the Anderson represen-
tative felt an isolationist foreign
policy was not effective. The
representative quoted the Wall
Street Journal's argument that
''non-voting is no remedy."

The political forum was Agnes
Scott's way of involving young
voters in politics on a one - to -
one level, in close encounter
with political representation,
and the voicing of their ques-
tions. Perhaps, the political
forum increased many student's
awareness, or motivation to vote
at all, when they marked their
ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

ASC Professors Attend World Economy Dialogue

"Fundamental changes are
essential, whether in trade,
finance, energy, orotherfields, if
we are to avoid a serious break-
down of the world economy in
the decades of the eighties and
the nineties, and to give it
instead a new stimulus to
function in the interest of the
world's peoples," explained
Walter T. Davis, Jr., Program
Chairman of the Southeastern
Dialogue on the Changing World
Economy.

Two Agnes Scott professors,
Prof. Robert Leslie,
Mathematics, and Prof. Ed
Johnson, Economics,

held at the Peachtree Plaza Hotel
two weeks ago. Prof. Leslie was

missions program, Martha Anne

Before her Agnes Scott days,
Martha Anne took part in many
theatre productions at her
school. She was also Vice
President of the Augusta College

a member of the overall planning
committee for the Dialogue and
also served as a workshop
chairperson for the topic of "En-
vironment." Professor Johnson
was a respondent in the
workshop entitled "Values and
Views of Development."

The Dialogue attracted ap-
proximately 425 people. The
Atlanta session of the Dialogue
was one of four regional
dialogues designed to foster
public discussion and
understanding about the

Among those sitting in the New
Orleans audience was wildlife
conservationist and actor Robert

Here at Agnes Scott, Martha

different from her first college.
At Augusta there was no honor

people from business, the
professions, the media and
academe in considering subjects
such as "Labor," "Population,"
"Women in Development," "En-
vironment," "Energy, Science
and Technology." The
symposium consisted of 1 1
different workshops. Each
workshop had three separate
sessions and each session
lasted approximately three
hours.

Several prominent national
and international figures
participated including: former
Ambassador to the United
Nations, Andrew Young;
Undersecretary of State for
Economic Affairs, Richard N.
Cooper; President of the

Augusta College is strictly a four

were no dorms. Being awayfrom
home is no less new to Martha

freshmen. She says that
although she misses her family
very much she is very secure and
therefore she is not really

Prof. Johnson said that the
topic of the changing world

Prof. Brown Coaches
Boys' Soccer Team

by Colleen O'Neill

Mr. Micheal Brown, Charles
A. Dana Professor of History, is,
unknown to his students,
moonlighting as a soccer coach.
He has been since 1968, the
year that he began to work with a
group of small boys, including
his own son, who played with
the YMCA. The "Panthers"
were, in their coach's opinion,
"excellent." They were many
times the metro - Atlanta
champs and went on to win the
Georgia state title. They even
went to the regiona I competition
in New Orleans and came away
with second place.

Eight of the Panthers went on
to become part of the same high
school team, and, when they
graduated, Mr. Brown turned his
attention to a newgroup of nine -
year - olds. The "Wildcats" are
now twelve but they still have
the same coach. Mr. Brown is
also president of the Decatur -
DeKalb Youth Soccer As-
sociation.

Even as a boy the historian
was a sports enthusiast. In
Wallasey, England, he played
rugby for the school and soccer
for recreation . One year, to see a
team to which he was especially
loyal, he waited all night. He
dressed in blue and white, the
team's colors, and he even
painted the panels of his um-
brella to show some real team

spirit.

Mr. Brown says that soccer is
very important to the people of
Europe. British boys and girls
grow up surrounded by soccer.
In England, the children play the
game constantly, without
bothering with organization or
equipment. A tennis ball will
substitute if there is no soccer
ball available and a thrown
jacket will represent the goal.
They practice dribbles and
dodges on the way to and from
school, and they will play all dur-
ing recess.

American children have not
experienced soccer in this
manner. But, Mr. Brown
believes, this is changing. The
YMCA is now teaching four - and
five - year - olds to play. More
and more people in Atlanta are
becoming interested en-
thusiasts. There are about 2000
children and adults in Mr.
Brown's association alone.

Mr. Brown believes that Agnes
Scott would benefit by a soccer
team. Many students here
played soccer in high school and
would welcome the chance to
play for the glory of ASC. A
school team could join one of the
many women's soccer leagues
in Atlanta and we already have a
beautiful playing field. Mr.
Brown stresses, however, that
any movement for a soccerteam
must come from the students.

Professor Emeritus Dies

by Lee Kite

Dr. Henry Allen Robinson, 79,
retired head of the Dept. of
Mathematics here at Agnes
Scott, died January 7, 1 981 .

Dr. Robinson was a member of
the faculty from 1926 to his
retirement in June of 1970. He
took military leave from
November of 1 940 to September
of 1941. During this period he
served as Chief of Personnel
Consultants at the Adjutant
General's School in Washington
and then spent over four years at
West Point with rank of Colonel.

Dr. Robinson was active in
both business and social
organizations throughout Atlan-
ta. He was a founding director of
the Standard Federal Savings
and Loan Association, as well as

serving as Directorof the DeKalb
County and Metropolitan
Atlanta American Red Cross for
over 25 years.

Robinson was a very active
member of the First Baptist
Church of Decatur, and in 1973
he received the Good Neighbor
of the Year Award in Atlanta
from the National Conference of
Christians and Jews. Atlanta
Mayor Sam Massell said that he
was one who had made "very
solid contributions to this city, its
people and its welfare. ..without
a lot of fanfare.''

Dr. Rob, as he was affec-
tionately known to the campus,
was also an active matchmaster
for the ASC students. According
to Sara Ripy he used a
mathematical quizto match up

Paleontologist Visits

by Colleen Flaxington

On Monday, January 19,
Harvard professor and author
Stephen J. Gould will be visiting
Agnes Scott. Gould is a paleon-
tologist; a scientist who studies
fossils of plant and animal life of
earlier times in order to obtain
information concerning the
evolution and relationships of
modern plants and animals and
about the chronology of the his-
tory of the earth.

Gould also writes a monthly
column entitled 'This View of
Life: for National History
magazine. The articles are
usually about some aspect of
evolution. These columns have
been assembled in two books;
the first, Ever Since Darwin
(Reflections in Natural History)
and Gould's latest book The
Panda's Thumb. Reviews of
these works commend Gould's
perception of h is subject, as well
as his writing style which makes
his topics both clearand interes-
ting. There is currently a display
in the I ibra ry of these books and
articles.

Gould will presenta Seminar/
Discussion entitled "Recent
Developments in Evolutionary
Theory" in Room 214 Campbell
at 1:00 on Jan. 19. Though
anyone is welcome, this will be
more scientifically oriented and
is primarily to give science ma-
jors and professors an op-
portunity to talk with Professor
Gould.

From 3:00-4:00 there will be
an informal Open House in the
Josephine Bridgeman Biology
Library in Campbell Hall. This
will be a "drop - in" time to
enable people to meet Professor
Gould and have refreshments.

Then at 7:00 in the Winter
Theater in Dana, Gould will give
a lecture entitled 'The Meaning
of Darwin's Evolution." This talk
is geared for the general public.
Professor Eloise Carter en-
courages all students to attend:
"Gould has a dynamic
personality and really makes
science interesting. Everyone
will be able to get something out
of his lecture."

Fuller Performs

The pianist Jay Fuller of the
Agnes Scott College music
department will perform a recital
of Baroque, Classical and
Romantic works Monday, Jan.
19, at 8:15 p.m. in Pressor Hall.

Professor Fuller will play
Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's
Desiring," Beethoven's
"Sonata, Opus 111," Beryl

Rubinstein's "Sonatina in C#
Minor," Faure's "Sixth Noc-
turne" and Debussy's "Reflets
dans I'eau," "La Fille aux
Cheaveux de I in " and "L'isle
joyeuse."

Active in state music
organizations, Professor Fuller
is president of the Decatur
Music Teachers Association.

people. Introducing Peter
Marshall and Catherine Woods
is considered to be one of his
best attempts as Cupid.

Julia T. Gary spoke of Dr.
Robinson as "one who did a
great deal for a great many." He
was inspiring and he cared
about the students. "He was
known as a person who would
give his time forever," she
recalled.

Gue P. Hudson was a student
of Dr. Robinson's her freshman
year at Scott and she
remembered him as a teacher
who was concerned with relat-
ing math to the outside world. He

wrote devotional articles en-
titled "God's Aesthetics" for the
Christian Index and the Baptist
Student Union Monthly. Dean
Hudson said he could always
find examples of math in nature,
such as the concentric circles
within a tree trunk. She des-
cribed Dr. Rob as an "old
fashioned man with a wide
range of knowledge."

Paul McCain, who had known
Dr. Robinson for over 50 years,
said he was "unusual at special
interests; multi-faceted." Dr.
Robinson, McCain remembers,
was devoted to the college and
active in campus life. "A real

gentleman; a real Christian gen-
tleman," was Mr. McCain's des-
cription. President Perry added
that Dr. Rob was a "kind,
thoughtful friend who was, if it
could be said about a man, sweet
natured."

Dr. Jobinson was one of many
who thought it strange that the
college had noflag pole. It is with
his help that the flag flies in the
yard; the pole and base a gift
from family and friends
dedicated to Dr. Rob at an alum-
nae weekend some years ago.
Appropriately the flag was at
half-mast in remembrance of
this special man after his death.

More Lecture By Marius

Harvard University Professor
Richard C. Marius, a scholar of
Renaissance and Reformation
history, will lecture on Sir
Thomas More and the English
Renaissance Wednesday, Jan.
21 , at 8:1 5 p.m. in Pressor Hall.

Professor Marius's lecture is
one of a series of events in the
yearlong Agnes Scott English
Renaissance Festival of 1980-
81. A complete schedule of
Renaissance Festival events
may be obtained by calling 373-

2571, Ext. 230.

More was a 16th - century
English statesman who refused
to be a "yes - man" to his king,
Henry VIII. Professor Marius,
who has done research on More,
has recently completed a
biography on him and is co-
editor of the Yale University
edition of the writings of More.
Professor Marius has also done
extensive research on
Machiavelli and on the
Reformation and Martin Luther.

As director of expository writ-

ing at Harvard, Professor Marius
teaches courses in expository
writing for sociai sciences and a
course on techniques in fiction
writing appropriate to expository
writing.

Before joining the Harvard
faculty, he taught at the
University of Tennessee at
Knoxville, where he earned his
undergraduate degree. He holds
a bachelor of divinity degree
from Southern Baptist Seminary
and a master's and doctorate
from Yale University.

the age of relative material
abundance draws to a close.
How these resources will be
allocated will be determined by
political and economic systems.
But to exist in a moral society,
many other questions should
also be addressed, preferably
before resources are allocated.
These questions involve
sociological, technological,
ecological, and above all, ethical
aspects of our civilization.

The Prez Sez: Winter Quarter Notes

by Laura Klettner

Welcome back, everyone! To
me Winter Quarter means gain-
ing ten pounds, sitting around
remembering all the stupid
things I did Fall Quarter
(Freshmen, remember all those
fun blind dates?), and getting
the "winter quarter blues." Rep.
Council has a surprise up its
sleeve to eliminate those blues
so keep an eye on your mail box!

Social Council is sponsoring a
winter weekend January 23 -
24. There will be a TGIF party on
Friday, January 23 and a winter
party on January 24 at the Holi-

day Inn with Visions/ Track 4
playing. Darky Bryan, Social
Council Chairman, says this will
be the best weekend ever so
start dieting, grab a partner and
dust off your dancing shoes!

Popular nominations will be
on Thursday, February 5. Please
start to think about the offices
you are interested in and the one
for which you want to run. Check
The Profile for more details in
the future!

So - everyone has seen the
Hub and is wondering if Santa
came to visit while we were
away! Rep. Council decided dur-
ing the Fall Retreat that someth-

ing drastic needed to be done. A
carpet company in Dalton,
Georgia is donating rust colored
carpet; Dr. Perry donated the

nae Club donated $200.00. Rep.

What is the flu?

The term "flu" is really a
nondescript term used by many
to explain mild respiratory or
gastrointestinal symptoms we
all have, but can't do much
about. It is also commonly used
to describe influenza.

What is influenza?

Influenza is a specif ic disease.
So whether you call if flu, grippe,
orthe virus, influenza isan acute
infectious disease that begins
suddenly with fever; frequently
recurring, but brief, shaking
chills; headache; pain behind
the eyes, especially on eye
motion; hacking, irritating
cough, which does not produce
phlegm; and severe muscle
aches.

The disease. What about me?

If you are exposed to the in-
fluenza virus, you may or may
not get it, depending on your
resistance. If you do, research
has shown that 25% of persons
with influenza do not have

Council has ordered new
furniture which is on the way!
The oak furniture will be
recovered. The major face lift of
our beloved Hub could not have
been done without the help of

symptoms, and it can only be
detected by blood tests. In the
other 75%, symptoms occur
rapidly within 1 - 4 days of
exposure. The early symptoms
may resemble a cold, except that
the nose runs less, the body
aches more, and you feel
weaker. Fortunately, most cases
of symptomatic flu are mild, but
some cases are severe, and it
cou Id take 2 - 4 weeks before you
feel normal.

Viral or bacterial pneumonia,
bronchitis, sinus trouble, or ear
infections may occur. These
complications are often more
significant than influenza itself.
Very serious lung infections may
result in death, especially in the
elderly or in people who already
have other serious diseases.
Consequently, keep in close
touch with your doctor and
promptly report any worsening
of your condition.

If I get influenza, how should I
treat it?

Marty Kirkland, Mollie Merrick,
Mary Yellowstadt, Vaughn
Black, Lee Barclay, Rep Council,
and Dr. Perry. Keep poking your
nose into the Hub to see new
changes. Have a great quarter!

Actually, the basic treatment
for influenza is rest in bed. This
should be continued as long as
you have fever and feel tired and
weak. Your doctor may pres-
cribe:

1. Aspirin, or an aspirin
substitute if you are allergic to
aspirin, to control temperature
and pain. Drenching sweats may
accompany the fall in
temperature.

2. Lots of fluids.

3. Cough suppressants,
usually taken in the evening to
produce a decent night's sleep.

4. Humidification to relieve
the dry, hacking cough.

5. Antibiotics, if there is a
complicating bacterial infection.

Smoking should be stopped
because it may affect the natural
defenses in the membranes lin-
ing the respiratory tract, thus
lowering resistance to com-
plications.

please come see us The
Health Center Staff.

year. Instead, two winter parties
will be held.

Jan. 23 is the kick - off date for
"winter weekend." A TGIF will
be held that day from 4:30 - 7:30
pm. Admission has been

reduced for this party; drinkers

without a date. These parties
should be different, but a lot of
fun."

A second party will be held
Feb. 20 with Ruckus.

Externs Describe Experiences

The extern program at Agnes
Scott has helped students gain a
week of experience and a realis-
tic insight into careers. Last year
the Career Planning Office
placed 27 students in extern
positions during Thanksgiving
and Christmas break. This year
there were 19 students who
externed during the winter break
alone. These students externed
during the first week of
December. Twelve students
worked in the Atlanta area and
others worked in places like New
York City, Cincinnati, Ohio,

I'm so happy to be back here
again to read, "said Pulitzer prize
- winning author Eudora Welty.
Apparently the response was
mutual. Approximately 2000
people from the Agnes Scott
campus and Atlanta community
flooded Presser Hall to hear the
distinguished southern writer
read from her works at a special
arts evening fall quarter.

Miss Welty read a short story
"Lily Doll and the Three Ladies,"
which involved the efforts of
relatives and friends to prevent
Lily from marrying the "wrong
man." She also read from her
novel Losing Battles, which
concerned a family reunion dur-
ing the Great Depression. Miss
Welty s entertaining readings
were preceded by an Agnes
Scott Studio Dance Theatre
performance. These Agnes Scott
sponsored events were part of
the Atlanta Historical Society's
series of events entitled
"Southern Women from Myth to
Modern Times."

Miss Welty has visited the-
campus three times previously.
She has participated in the an-
nual spring Writer's Festival
twice and was the 1978 author
of the freshman orientation
book.

A taping session of By-line
with Gene Moore and a press
conference with Atlanta
journalists revealed the lady
behind the stories. Mr. Moore
explained that reviewer have
"rediscovered" Eudora Welty
since the recent publication of
The Collected Stories of
Eudora Welty. Miss Welty later
said, "It's frightening to think
you're being reassessed." Mr.
Moore suggested that people
who have never read any of her
works should start with Delta
Wedding; however Miss Welty
disagreed. She said, "I always

Winston - Salem, N.C., Colum-
bia, S.C., Augusta and Savan-
nah, Georgia. Sophomores,
Juniors, and Seniors
participated in CPO's extern
program. For most participating,
it was a helpful experience to be
out in the career world, not to
mention it being a big change of
scene from Agnes Scott.

Those in the Career Planning
Office, Kathleen Mooney, Libby
Wood, and Lockey McDonald en-
couraged and worked with these
students to set up approximately
twenty externships. The Career

think of myself as a short story
writer." She said that she never
plans to write a novel, rather her
publisher determines when a
certain story has the potential to
evolve into a novel. When she
handed Delta Cousins to her
publisher, he said, 'This is not a
short story, it's the second
chapter of a novel."

When she read the proofs for
the recently published collection
of stories she said she though
"I've been here before but did I
know where I was then?" She
explained, "It's strange to go
back and re-read your own
work."

When Mr. Moore posed the
traditional question of the road
not taken, she said, "I feel sure I
would have written wherever I
was. I'm so fascinated by place."
She illustrated this latter
statement by discussing a story
she wrote that she is not fond of,
titled The Purple Hat, set in New
Orlenas. "I think I wanted to
show off that I had been there,"
she said.

Miss Welty's hometown is
Jackson, Mississippi. She
reminisced about her friendship
with Southern novelist William
Faulkner, who was from Oxford,
MS. "I knew him a little over a
long time," she said. She des-
cribed their boating experience,
"I don't think we said a word. I
just remember peacefully riding,
thinking, here I am with William
Faulkner."

Miss Welty also discussed her
writing techniques. She said, "I
have a strong narrative sense. I
love to tell stories and love to
talk." "I think we all eavesdrop,"
she added. She said as a child,
she loved myths, fairytales, and
Mark Twain. As a writer, she
said she tries to make things ac-
curate. She also explained, "I try
to make everything reveal
something inthe story. Idon'tbr-

Planning Office designs these
externships for students with
the help of various sources, one
of which is the A.S.C. (Alum-
nae/ Students/ Careers)
Network. This network is also a
route in receiving job advice,
relocation advice, speakers on
campus, shadow programs, and
internships. The network has
proven itself successful in fin-
ding sponsors for externships.
Most of the externships
available are sponsored by
alumnae or their husbands ac-
cording to Libby Wood of the

ing something in just to bring it
in." She said she also thinks that
Ernest Hemingway's advice to
stop at night when you know
what the next sentence will be,
is profitable.

One journalist asked if
Southern writing is passe. She
said, "Southern writing iwll do
what it has always done -
present life." She denied that
her writing is a rebuttal against
what people say about the
South. "Fiction is not a place to
take stands," she said. Another
writer inquired why Miss Welty
"writes about old - fashioned
things." 'They weren't old -
fashioned when I wrote about
them," she replied. Miss Welty
is extremely modest and without
a doubt, a charming lady.

by Laurie McBrayer

Gail Godwin was the author of
the freshman orientation book,
Violet Clay. Although this book
was not immensely popular
among freshmen, to hear Miss
Godwin speak was to appreciate
her skill. One cannot deny the
advantages of hearing an
articulate artist discuss her
work.

Before speaking at Scott, Ms.
Godwin said she reread her
novel. She explained that in re-
reading, one discovers "the
abyss between intention and
result."

She read aloud the first few
paragraphs of her novel and
explained the purpose of an in-
troduction, 'To establish the
point of view, tone, and
themes." She explained that her
introduction reveals that the
point of view is first person, the
tone is "cavalier, colloquial,
earnest - a mask for self -
adulation" and the themes are

C.P.O. The areas of externship
included medicine, chemical
research, computer science,
retail sales, journalism, social
work, and oceanography.

Most of those who extern
learned something new about
the career which intereststhem.
Cathy Zurek who externed at
Coca - Cola in Atlanta in the
chemical analysis and research
field described her experience.
"I learned a lot of new methods
in chemical analysis and saw a
lot of equipment I would not
have seen otherwise." Cathy
said she was not sure she
wanted to work in a lab

numerous. She said that the
themes include "becoming or
not becoming what you most
want to be," the role of an
orphan and the role of the gothic
romance. She said she uses this
last theme as "a metaphor for
the kind of work Violet does
which tends to stagnate." She
added that her novel iswritten in
the style of a gothic romance.

Ms. Godwin said she
purposely included ambivalence
in the main character's name.
She saidthatthe initialsof Violet
Isabel Clay may represent victim
or victress. This is a tool used by
Henry James, whose character,
Bly, in Turn of Turn of the
Screw could represent blythe or
blight, according to Ms. Godwin.
Ms. Godwin said she has been
influenced most by the "realistic
tradition of the novel." She said
she admores D. H. Lawrence,
Henry James, and George Elliot.

Violet's name conveys ad-
ditional meaning. When Ms.

everyday, however, during her
week in the lab she realized that
was what she wanted to do and
the experience was very en-
couraging. Susan Nichols
worked in a law firm in Atlanta
during her week of externship.
Susan said she found the at-
mosphere to be straightforward
and down - to - earth, yet very
professional. Nothing stood out
as completely different from
what Susan expected. She said,
"It was a real good thing for me
to do, it just got rid of all my
doubts."

Godwin spoke of the color violet
"trying to hold its own" in a pain-
ting, she was also discussing the
character. Violet Clay
experiences contemporary con-
flicts: those "between artistic
integrity and desire for fame"
and between "wanting to be
one's best self and wanting to be
loved."

Ms. Godwin said that in writ-
ing Violet Clay she had never
suffered so much over a book.
That in fact, she "felt a profound
nauseum after finishing the
book." She said she had forced
Violet "to make something of
herself." "I created a character
which was a demon and I in turn
had to deal with her."

"Violet was a pilgrim I sent on
a progress . . . she helped me
grow up," said Ms. Godwin.
Violet Clay was Ms. Godwin's
first financially successful book
and was also chosen as a selec-
tion for the Book of the Month
Club.

In Review

by Nybs B.

Everyone knows that there are
(a) the imitators and (b) the
imitated; Billy Joel slipped into a
tie and Cher slipped into a
catatonic state, but as the Sex
Pistols say, "... they only did it
for the fame." It has also become
very fashionable in recent years
to adopt an attitude of
patronization and tired sarcasm.
Zenyatta Mondatta, the third
album by The Police,
demonstrates, if nothing else,
that somebody out there is still
kicking. No clones, band
members Andy Summers
(guitars), Stewart Cope land
(percussion), and Sting (lead
vocals, bass guitars) may save us
all.

These photogenic boys from

Britain are witty and talented
(more than one song on this
album was written by the
drummer) and individualistic to
boot. The enthusiasum is no
studio trick (I), and the com-
pletely modern melodies,
neither static nor the WHANG
WHANG WHANG of trashcan
lids, are dense and convoluted.
The lyrics are no optical illusion,
either.

The music of The Police can
only be called contemporyary - in
concordance with Frost's
definition of the artist as one
who reports what he sees,
ratherthan what he would like to
see. A few of the most highly
articulate cuts include: "When
the World is Running Down, You

Make the Best of What's Still
Around," "Driven to Tears''
("Seems that when some in-
nocent die/ All we can offer
them is a page in some
magazine/ Too many cameras
and not enough food/ This is
what we've seen '), "Bombs
Away" ('The President looks in
the mirror and speaks/ His
shirts are clean but his country
reeks/ Unpaid bills/ Afghanis-
tan hills/ Bombs Away"), -
"Canary in a Coalmine," and
"Don't Stand So Close to Me"
(It's no use/ He sees her/ He
starts to shake and cough/ Just
like the old man in/ That book by
Nabokov").

Zenyatta Mondatta is
multifaceted music. You can (a)
dance to it and feel like spon-
taneous human combustion,
then fa II down at the end soaking
wet or (b) lock you rself in a closet
with it (and survive); anyway,
you will be engulfed by it.

There's nothing pseudo about
this music of passion. Whew.
What a relief.

Schlitz Rainbow Roundup

Do you suffer from the winter
quarter blahs?

The Schlitz Rainbow Round-
Up is underway!

College students across the
country are rustlin' up empty 1 2-
oz. Jos Schlitz Brewing Com-
pany cans and bottles and
redeeming them - where
permitted by law - for prizes such
as television sets, pool tables,
microwave ovens, video
cassette recorders, computer
and stereo systems and more.

The Rainbow Round-Up,
which runs through April 30,
1981, gives enrolled student
groups the chance to win prizes
from four categories by simply
collecting Schlitz, Erlanger,

Schlitz Light, Old Milwaukee,
Old Milwaukee Light and Schlitz
Malt Liquor empties and return-
ing them to local Schlitz
wholesalers for Prize Point
Certificates worth one point.
Erlanger classic bottles, Schlitz,
Schlitz Light or Schlitz Malt Li-
quor tapered bottles are worth
two points

"An organization selects as its
goal one of the four prize color
categories," said Peter Dang,
Schlitz manager of college and
young adult marketing. "Each
category, designated by a color
of the rainbow and the pointtotal
needed to win, contains four
prizes. Once the point total for
the category has been achieved,

the group picks the prize desired
and sends in its Prize Point
Certificates."

Dang said all student
organizations, fraternities,
sororities, sports clubs,
dormitory units and independent
groups are invited to enter. 'The
great thing about the Schlitz
Rainbow Round-Up is that
everyone can win," he said.
'The groups compete only
against the goal they set for
themselves and all winners can
enter more than once."

Sob James

by Catherine Fleming

The Fox Theatre in Atlanta
was once a building in danger of
its very life: a few years back, the
telephone company wanted to
clear the site for business
purposes. The public refused to
go along with that plan, and they
angrily protested the action.
Now the "Fabulous Fox" con-
tinues to present talented
musicians and performers.

The third Sunday in October
brought the sensuous sounds of
Bob James, featuring the
diverse Harvey Mason on drums
and trumpeteer Tom Brown.
WVEE personality Scotty An-
drews hosted the concert, in-
troducing to the audience
Atlanta comedian Steve Smith.
A newcomer in that competitive
field, Smith's sincere rapport
with the people made him an
evening favorite.

Tom Brown's first visit to
Atlanta, brief but exhilarating,
featured Cheryl Larson, an alto
who showed superb control over
her husky - sweet voice.
Trumpet solos of Donny
Hathaway and Roberta Flack's
'The Closer I Get to You" and

Brown's own "Jamaica Funk"
demonstrated his inherent
musical genius.

Bob James emerged, after a
long stage break, took the show
into his capable hands and gave
a triumphant performance. Bass
player Barry King had the
audience cheering with his
roguish guitar attitudes, while
James's serene piano
undercurrents drifted like the
fragrance of French cologne.
Percussionists Harvey Mason
and "Dr." Gibb soloed next, with
Mason's performance ranging
from calm, controlled, scin-
tillating blues, to green intensity
to flaming energy, and peaking
at a white - hot climax to the
howling approval of the crowds,
followed by "Dr." Gibb's
energetic percussion study.

Bob James's sensitivity to his
audiences, exemplified by his
dedication of "Angela" (theme
of 'Taxi") to a girl in the assem-
bly, and his selection performed
in honor of the Fox ("I feel like
I'm on Mars," Bob commented),
endeared him to his listeners.
The intensity and the quality of
the performance made the
concert a jazz session to
remember for all who attended.

personal interviews with the as-
sistant director of the museum,
the Conservation department,
the Curator of painting, and
other personnel. Susan's
interest is modern art. Her
externship experience made her
realize the tremendous amount
of education needed before
entering this field. "My
externsh ip was not discourag ing

wou Id have to put in to reach the
goals I would set for myself in
the art profession," she said.

lla Burdette Named Rhodes Scholar

by Colleen McNeill

lla Burdette, an Agnes Scott
senior, has become the first
woman in Georgia to win a
Rhodes Scholarship. This
internationally prestigious
scholarship is awarded to only
thirty-two American college
students each year. These select
few, along with beneficiaries
from sixteen other countries,
will have the opportunity to
study for two or three years at
the University of Oxford in
England.

While at Oxford, lla hopes to
study English. That is, if she
makes it to Oxford, lla is not a
Rhodes Scholar yet. She is a
Scholar - elect. To actually
receive the award the Scholar
must first be accepted at one of
the colleges which is part of
Oxford University. Of course,
there has never been an
instance of a Scholar - elect be-
ing turned down for admission to
Oxford. If she is admitted, lla will
earn - with two years work - A
Bachelor of Arts degree in
English. Three years later that
degree will automatically
become a Masters. All of this will
be almost cost free. The
Scholarship will pay all tuition
and fees. It will even arrange for
travel expenses and provide a
"maintenance allowance" of
2400 a year.

Although these scholarships
have been open to women since
1976 this is the first time that
Agnes Scott has nominated a
student to compete. The ad-
ministration feels that there is
"no point" in nominating a can-
didate who does not fulfill all of

the requirements specified by
Cecil Rhodes, British colonial
pioneer and statesman, in his
will in 1902. The scholar which
Mr. Rhodes desired must have
the following qualities: "literary
and scholastic attainments;
truthfulness, courage, devotion
to duty, sympathy for and protec-
tion of the weak, kindliness,
unselfishness, and fellowship;
exhibition of moral force of
character and of instincts to lead
and to take an interest in one's
contemporaries; physical vigor,
as shown by fondness for and
success in sports." Those are
pretty stiff requirements. Not
every class, even at Agnes Scott,
can produce a student with
those attributes. But, as Dean of
the College Julia Gary said, "Not
many classes have an lla
Burdette . . . We nominated lla."
It is obvious that Agnes
Scott considers its nominations
very carefully. Ma's application
was a college - wide enterprise.

lla knew that she was a
Scholar - elect in time to make
her Christmas even happier. The
Wednesday before Christmas
the application went to the
Georgia state committee which
chose two students to compete
for their district. That Saturday
the Southeastern committee
chose four Scholars - elect from
twelve candidates from Virginia,
North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Tennessee,
lla and the 31 other Scholars
elect came from eight regions.
They are all headed for two years
study at one of the world's most
prestigious universities.

Then with her degrees from
Agnes Scott and Oxford, lla will

return from her stay abroad to
study architecture, her intended
career, at one of the several
American universities to which
she intends to apply. Among
these are Harvard, the Mas-
sachusettes Institute of
Technology and Georgia Tech.

All these scholasticendeavors
should not be too difficult for lla.
In high school in Hogansville,
Georgia, she was a National
Merit Scholar and the state Star
Student. She is chairman of the
Honor Court and also a member
of the College Bowl team and of
Mortar Board. To lla, "It is nice
being chosen by the committee
but the real honor was being
nominated by the people at
Agnes Scott."

College Bowl Team Competes

by Sue Feese

The College Bowl teams of
Agnes Scott College
commenced their 1981 season
the weekend of January 15-18
with two separate tourneys. In
their third year of competition
together, the team consisting of
lla Burdette (captain), Claudia
Stucke, Kathy Helgesen, and
Lisa Merifield participated in the
Florida State University/ CBS
Radio Invitational held in
Tallahassee. There they
competed against seven other
teams, including last year's
national champions, University
of Californiaat Fresno, as well as
teams from the University of
Chicago and Washington
University, who emerged as co-

champions of the FSU tourney.
On Friday, the Scott team
rehearsed on stage with Art
Fleming of Jeorpardy fame who
served as questioner and on
Saturday morning, they soundly
defeated the Universtiy of
Georgia, 270-130 in a practice
round. In the actual competition
held Saturday afternoon, the
Scotties had the unfortunate
luck of being paired against a
very capable Washington
Universtiy team and were
defeated 320-155 in a game
which remained close until the
final moments. Washington
University and the University of
Chicago, both of whom emerged
undefeated from their brackets,
will continue to the Nationals
which will be held in Charlotte,

NC this March. The Scott team
will have another chance at
making the nationals when it
competes in the regional
tournament to be held at Eckerd
College, St. Petersburg, Florida,
in mid-February.

Another Agnes Scott team
competed that same weekend in
the University of Alabama In-
vitational held in Tuscaloosa.
Team members Beth Richards,
Laurie Macleod, Beth Wilson,
Robin Sutton and Burlette Carter
had a rather difficult time, win-
ning only one of the nine rounds
they played. However, it was the
first time this team had
competed together and they
gained valuable practice
experience, and exposure

Agnes Scott Chases The Challenge

by Kim Kennedy

Agnes Scott has accepted the
challenge of raising $750,000to
be matched with a grant of
$250,000 from the National En-
dowment for the Humanities.
The last official estimate was
$180,000 away from that goal.

July 1, 1979, the NEH gave
Agnes Scott until June 30,
1982, three years, to raise the
money, but Agnes Scott set its
own deadline of February 25,
1981, Founder's Day, to com-
plete the Million Dollar

Challenge Fund.

The drive's primary goal is to
have 100% participation from
students and parents, faculty,
and staff . The Board of Trustees
has already set an example by
each Trustee making a pledge.
As Mr. McCain, chairman of the
Million Dollar Fund, explained,
"Should we not meet the goal by
Founder's Day we must then
attempt to gain pledges from
people outside the campus com-
munity. We could not ask others
to give if those people closest to

the college did not."

Should the goal of 100%
participation be reached
President Perry has offered to
give a ball for the entire campus
which will be similar to his own
inaugural ball which included all
members of the faculty, staff,
and student body. But as of
January 19, less than 75% of
each class had made pledges.

The income from the en-
dowment will provide for Agnes
Scott in two important areas of
the Humanities - the profes-

sional development of the
faculty and the expansion of the
library's book acquisitions.
Faculty salaries are always a
primary concern, but support for
the continuing study, research,
and writing also needs great
consideration. As of now,
members of the faculty are
receiving very little help finan-
cially, apart from air fare, to
attend meetings for the
exchange of ideas with
collegues through professional
associations. They are finding
these meetings not worth the

fees and therefore, not attending
- and thus Agnes Scott suffers.

Agnes Scott has also not been
keeping up with the inflationary
costs of acquiring news
resources for McCain Library.
The library now offers more than
180,000 items but with the cost
of new books up 30% it has
become harder and harder to
keep up with current
publications. But fortunately the
grant offered *to us will allow for
$35,000 each yea r for these two
areas of importance.

Issues And Answers: Old South

by Burlette Carter

Around spring quarter, some
Agnes Scott students get very
excited. As they make their
phone calls and visits to costume
stores around the Atlanta area,
their orders are the same: hoop
skirts reminiscient of the Civil
War days. More conscientious
students will try their hand at
sewing the desired apparel,
while still others pillage in old
trunks during visits home, look-
ing for such dresses as those
worn by their g reat
grandmothers du ring the days of
the Southern regime. Between
their attempts to find their out-
fits, these young ladies make
frequent phone calls to their
Georgia Tech dates who,
themselves, are busy finding
Confederate uniforms. The oc-
casion? A mock Southern ball
known to participants and in-
formed on- lookers as "Old
South."

About this same time, some
other Agnes Scott students get
very agitated. They watch as
their fellow students sit out in
the halls of the dorms and
straighten the clothes hangers
which are to form the hoops for
the elaborate skirts. They listen
to the chatter of conversation,
sometimes inflected with an "in-
nocent" joke about the Old
South. One might ask why these
"other" students are not ready-
ing themselves for such a grand
occasion as a Southern ball. The
answer is very simple: they are
Black, and if they were to attend
the fancy ball, true to history,
they wou Id have to go dressed as
slaves, an option which appeals
to none of them.

Before going on, the reader
here should note and remember
that this article is not an attack
on participation in Old South, for
no one recognizes more than
this author the rights of in-
dividuals to participate in such
occasions as they so choose.
Whatever my own opinion of the
dance, I must, and do,acceptthe
fact of those rights. Instead,
then, this article is an attack on
irresponsibility, the kind exem-
plified by the failure of some
Agnes Scott students to resolve
two conflicting themes: the first,
found in their assertion (and I
have myself heard it more than a
few times) that the era of slavery
and the Civil War was one of the
most disgraceful periods in our
nation's history, and the second,
found in their participation in
observances which hail and
raise to glorious stature that very
period.

But most certainly, the res-
ponsibility of accounting for
such actions does not rest solely
on the shoulders of those who
participate in Old South. We
must add to the list those
students who have in the past
and who do today participate in
rituals which glorify the
Southern regime, rituals rang-
ing from Southern balls to slave
auctions. Add them not only
because they participate in
these events, but because they
avoid the responsibility of ac-
counting for their actions by hid-
ing behind a veil of naviety or
hyprocrisy. The slavery which
helped to make the Old South so
"great" is kept hush-hush
beneath the rustle of lace and
swirling of satin hoop skirts;

slave auctions become fun
things that little sisters can do to
raise mo ney for their
fraternities. The feelings of
Black students and the Black
population at large (not to men-
tion some whites) are ignored or
brushed aside as petty
grievances. All of this in the
name of fun.

Some persons, those new to
the campus are unaware of
these activities, may wonder
exactly what kinds of activities I
am talking about. For one exam-
ple, one may consider the
scenario at the 1978 Black Cat
dance when most of the White
Agnes Scott students there
joined their dates in taking out
Confederate flags and singing
"Dixie" much to the em-
barrassment of eight Black ASC
students in attendance with
their dates. Consider those
students who joined in a "repeat
performance" at the 1979 Black
Cat dance when on ly two Blacks
would attend. Consider the
comment of an ASC student who
was recently puzzled when I told
her that I would never attend an
Old South party. When I stated
my feelings to this student, she
asked with incredible in-
nocence, "Why not? Don't you
like to dress up?" Consider too,
the young lady from ASC who
dressed as "Kizzy" from the TV
serial "Roots" while her date
dressed as "Kunte Kinte" to
attend an all-white Georgia Tech
fraternity costume party. A res-
ponsible young lady, she
sneaked out of the dorm so that
her Black "friends" would not
see her.

My attempts and the attempts

of others to approach individuals
about these problems have
always yielded the same res-
ponse; that these rituals are just
in celebration of the "good ole
days" and are of no real
significance. One should remind
those who respond in this way,
however, that the "good ole
days" were not so good for some
of us. Certainly, neither the
Confederate flag's role in the
present nor its role in the past
can be used to reconcile the two
conflicting actions of which I
spoke earlier. The majority of
Black people, and many Whites
too, recognize the flag as a
symbol of an age not too good
and not so long ago. Too often, it
has been flaunted by bands of
imbibed rednecks who are the
second - highest authorities in
racialslurs,thef irst being the Ku
Klux Klan for whom the flag is
also a significant symbol. But
even stating opposition to such
practices in the most diplomatic
fashion makes us prey to ac-
cusations that we are "radicals, -

"reactionaries" ard
"TROUBLEMAKERS." It is not
that I mind being called any of
these; however, I do mind the
implication of such titles, im-
plications which suggest that my
arguments are petty and lacking
in substance.

I write this article, not as a
neutral onlooker, but as one of
the Black students who has in
the past watched the
preparations for Old South and
other such activities and who
will, no doubt, continue to en-
dure them of necessity. As a
Black individual, I have not been
taught to cherish or take lightly

that part of American ( history
which meant human bondage
for my forefathers and which
has since translated into a kind
of intellectual bondage for my
people today. While I can laugh
sincerely at many of our
differences, our differences in
perceptions about slavery and
the era of the Southern regime is
-not one of them. While I fully
recognize and respect the rights
of students to participate in
observances which hail the era, I
object strongly to their condem-
nation of the atrocities of slavery
as they step into their hoop skirts
and ask me to zip them up.

The decision which faces
many ASC students, as put to me
by one of them, is a decision
between their desire for a social
life and acceptance (which when
concerning fraternities often
brings with it participation in
"Southern regime" rituals) and
their desire to end prejudice
which brings no such accep-
tance but may indeed bring
alienation. Surely, the first isthe
easier way out and many,
instead of daring to oppose those
rituals, have chosen to take that
easier route, even when they
believe those rituals to be
wrong. Okay, it is a difficult
challenge. But those who
choose not to meet it, cannot
expect to be readily accepted by
both sides, and herein lies the
gist of my argument. The
participation of Agnes Scott
students in such rituals as long
as that participation exists will
remain a major stumbling block
towards a better understanding
between Blacks and Whites on

The Prez Sez

Last quarter, Rep Council con-
tinued the battle of trying to get a
few dead days before exams. A
survey was circulated to the
student body and the results
were given to the Committee on
Academic Standards. The Com-
mittee reviewed the results and
recommended to the Faculty
that two dead days be given to
the Student body prior to exams.
At the November Faculty
Meeting, the Faculty voted down
the two dead days recommen-
dation by a substantive margin.

The main objection to two
dead days was that the students
are already spoon-fed too much
around here. Another objection
was that the students procras-
tinate entirely too much and the
dead days would not alleviate
the academic pressure. The
dead days would push the pres-
sure to the two days before the
dead days. Yet, the fact remains
thatthe academic freedom of the

Faculty is being infringed upon.

Now we must all admit that
we, as students, do have the
tendency to procrastinate. But
why should procrastination
prevent us from achieving two
days in which to prepare for
exams? It should notl If the
Faculty does not like the factthat
the students procrastinate, why
did the chairmen of several
departments give extensions
past the 9:00 a.m. deadline on
reading day, and to top it off,
these department chairmen did
not penalize the students. That
doesn't seem quite fair,
especially since all work of the
quarter is due to Dean Gary.

Now it wasn't the fault of the
faculty for procrastinating, it
was the students' fault. The
point I'm trying to make is that as
long as the students are truly
interested in a dead day they
should show some res-
ponsibility.

The one positive aspect that
came out of the dead day issue is
that next year, scheduling will
not be on read ing day. Maybe the
Faculty isn't so bad; they at least
listened. In essence, the
argument boils down to student
rights versus the academic
freedom of the Faculty.
Comments by students and
faculty are welcome.

Hoyt Joins Biology Department

Editor's Note:

We have tried many times to capture Mr. Hoyt on film, but it
always comes out blank. He is obviously an extraterrestial
being, and in that case, photographing him is impossible. We
are sorry to report that running his picture is impossible.

by Elisabeth Smith

Among our new faculty ap-
pointments this year is Mr. Dale
Hoyt in the Biology department.
Mr. Hoyt is originally from Kan-
sas and has lived in Michigan,
Indiana and Ohio. He got his B.A.
at the University of Kansas and
his M.A. and Ph.D. at the
University of Michigan.

Mr. Hoyt taught at the College
of Wooster, Earlham College and

the University of Georgia before
coming to Agnes Scott. When
asked about his impressions of
Scott so far, he remarked in jest
that "there aren't many men!"
He believes the students are
more willing to participate and
are more industrious and
serious about their studies than
the students at Georgia.

His training was in popular

genetics and evolutionary
biology, but he says he is
interested in other aspects of
biology, also. He says he is more
involved in different areas at a
small college.

Besides being interested in
biology, Mr. Hoyt is also an
amateur magician. He enjoys
doing small sleight-of-hand
tricks.

Economics Major Studies Abroad

by Peggy Schweers

Blaine Staed is a junior from
Daytona Beach, Florida. Recen-
tly she returned from a four-
month program in London,
England. She arrived in Europe
in early August, toured and
started school September 1,
1980. The program, sponsored
by Drew University in New
Jersey, continued until
December 23, 1980.

Blaine visited London several
years ago with her family but as
a student, she said she learned
quite a bit more about it.

Classes consisted of lectures
and weekly visits by outsiders.
Professors were from the Lon-
don School of Economics (LSE)
but classes were held at the
Royal Commonwealth Society
beside Trafalger Square. Visitors
represented the Conservative
Party, the Labour Party, a Union

leader, and a Northern Ireland
member of Parliament.
Although her workload was not
tremendous, Blaine found the
subjects interesting and
challenging. For a 30-page
report, she wrote about the
divisions within the Labour Party
concerning the Common
Market. She hopes to acquire 1 8
hours of credit for her work
altogether.

As for her social life, Blaine
"spent quite a bit of time in
pubs." The fine weather (dispell
pictures of rainy, foggy, London,
as "it was beautiful"), afforded
many days of touring museums
and churches.

"Pub crawls" is a cousin to the
American "bar hopping" and
was a sport in which Blaine and
her friends occasionally
participated. Their favorite was

the Sherlock Holmes, a famous
pub with a museum upstairs.
The atmosphere, she has found
upon returning home, is hard to
recreate in a bar.

Blaine sawthe B-52'sandthe
Ramones in London in concert.
She also explored some clubs,
including some new wave clubs.
She found them "all very
interesting."

London has some interesting
characters according to Blaine.
The "Skinheads" were
frightening, though, causing a
small riot in Paddington Station.
Among types like "14 - year -
olds with black leater boots and
no hair" Americans are easy to
spot. That's because, someone
told Blaine, "American girls' hair
is always nice." At least they
have some I

Concerning British politics,
Blaine recalls one evening when

she and some other students
celebrated Thanksgiving dinner
at St. Stephens Tavern, across
the street from the Houses of
Parliament. At the same tables,
speaking and laughing with their

neighbors, were tory
Conservatives, Liberals, and Lef-
tist Labour members of
Parliament. The relaxed at-
mosphere surprised her, con-
sidering the differences.

Scott Violinist "Fiddles" On Television

by Peggy Schweers

What wou Id you expect from a
family of musicians but another
musician? Mary Lee Taylor, ASC
sophomore takes the family
tradition in stride and has
become a noted violinist. On

Sunday, January 11, Mary Lee
was featured in an ETV program
of classical music. This is her
widest exposure to the public so
far.

Mary Lee was born and raised
in Columbia, South Carolina.

There she began violin lessons
at age five, shortly followed by
piano lessons. Her mother plays
viola and violin, her sister plays
cello and her father (now
deceased) played the cello and
bass. He once played with the
National Orchestra in
Washington, D.C. Within their
family, "there is an automatic,
trio," says Mary Lee. They prac-
tice together and perform in
ensembles in and around
Columbia.

Over the years, Mary Lee has
gotten scholarships and awards
that total about $1500. One
summer she was awarded a
summer session at Brevard
Music camp. Now, she'd like to
return as a counselor to share
the experience with the
children. At home in Columbia,
Mary Lee and her sister help
teach other friends' children,
like those friends had done for
them, creating a tradition.

Although Mary Lee has taken
twelve years of piano lessons,
she decided to focus on the
violin. She has quite a lot of
experience, performing with the
Columbia Philharmonic and at
USC. Occasionally, she travels
home to solo with the
Philharmonic.

At Agnes Scott, Mary Lee was
awarded the Nanette Hopkins
scholarship for musical ability.
She performs with the Agnes
Scott chamber orchestra and
string quartet. She commutes to
Georgia State University to
perform in the various chamber
groups. In the University orches-
tra she holds first violin, second
chair.

Ray Carlton was looking for
talented musical artists and con-
tacted Mr. Burnside of the music
department. Mr. Burnside
recommended Mary Lee and
Maribeth Kouts, a singer. Each
performed in separate shows

taped for ETV.

Mary Lee recalls, "It was
strange because there was no
music stand. With all this
gorgeous Roman setting, there
was no music stand. For an
hour's worth of music?" Sandra
Barnes rushed over to GSU and
borrowed one and arrived in
time to only shortly delay the
taping. Such are the pitfalls of
professionalism.

The fifty-minute show con-
sisted of many different pieces.
Among those which featured
Mary Lee were: Bach E Major,
Violin Concerto; Canzonetta,
Tchaikovsky Concerto; Romance
from Wieniawski Concerto and
Wieniawski "Polonaise
Brilliante." These pieces are not
well known, but provide a
challenge to Mary Lee who
prefers a "difficult piece."

As for her plans for the future,
Mary Lee is sure of one thing -

Lou Reed Rock 'N' Roll Diary 1 967-1 980

by Diane Rolfe

The decade of the 60 's
brought about a breakup in
values and morals. Everything
was changing, especially music.
A number of cult figures
emerged, one was Andy Warhol.
His art expressed the feelings of
the '60s generation. Warhol also
helped out rock 'n roll by promot-
ing the Velvet Underground in
the early stages of their career.
The Velvets were a New York
based group led by Lous Reed, a
middle - class Brooklyn Jew.
They desired to create a whole
new listening experience for
their audiences.

The first Velvet Underground
album was released in 1967.
Lou Reed wrote and sang most
of the songs but was helped by
Welshman John Cale. Thetunes
experimented with noise and
rhythm, resulting in screeching
guitar sounds, but Lou's voice
was smooth as velvet. The sub-
jects were sadomasochistic like
"Venus In Furs." "Heroin" was
intended as a warning against
drug addiction but the lyrics
were explicit. "... When I stick a
spike into my vein then I tell you
things aren't quite the same . . .
Heroin, be the death of me ..."

Lou Reed became the un-
disputed leader of the V.U. when
Cale left after the second album.

Their last album, Loaded
came out in 1970. It contained
the song "Sweet Jane" which
has become a trademark of
Lou's. The songs on Loaded
were some of the best Lou has
ever written. The Velvets broke
up, however, they could not con-
tinue to be constantly in-
novative.

As a solo performer, Lou went
through different trends. His
albums vary from the painfully
emotional, forexample, Berlin
and Growing Up In Public or
those which put down our
society, Street Hassles and
Take No Prisoners. For a while
Lou bleached his hair blond and
wore black eye make-up and
fingernail polish. He was fas-
cinated with transvestitism
which is expressed in "Walk on
the Wild Side" (David Bowie
helped with that tune).

There are songs about the
seedy side of life, which one can
picture as typically New York.
The song "Kicks" tells the story
of someone who picks up men in
bars and then slits their throats;
"When you cut that dude with
that stiietto, You did it so
cheaply. When the blood came
down his chest, Don't you know
it was a lot better than sex ..."
The song is done perfectly, com-
plete with barroom noises and

dying gasps in the background.

At Christmas 1980, Arista
Records put out a double album
collection of Lou Reed's, entitled
Rock 'n Roll Diary 1967 -
1980. As a fan of his, I was
extremely disappointed by the
song selections. The first record
is mostly Velvets' songs and is
not completely poor. There are a
few classics "Waiting for the
Man," and "Rock 'n Roll." The
version of "Heroin," however, is
live which is unfortunate, since
the studio one is definitely
better.

It is the second record, con-
taining Lou's solo material to
which I object. His two best
albums are Coney Island Baby
and Transformer. There are
no songs from C.I.B. but rather a
live version of thattitle cut which
is incomparable to the original.
The only cut from Transformer
is "Walk on the Wild Side."
Instead, there are a number of
slow, sad songs wh ich make Lou
Reed sound like a middle - aged
nightclub performer. This is not
to criticize Lou; I love his slow
tunes, but a new fan who buys
this album might easily get the
wrong impression. The very last
song in the collection, "Street
Hassle" is a great song, but the
lyrics are sexually explicit and
may bother some listeners.

Just AGigolo

by Lunar Lily

Showing now at the Lefont
Tara is a beautiful 'period' film
Just A Gigolo starring David
Bowie in the title role. The rest of
the cast is just as exciting and
internationally varied. Marlene
Dietrich and Kim Novak were
coaxed out of retirement to
appear along with Sydne Rome,
David Hemmings (also the direc-
tor), Maria Schell and Curt
Jurgens.

Post World War I Berlin is the
setting for Just A Gigolo which
was filmed entirely on location
in Germany - adding a real 'gray
touch to the otherwise classy/
decadent atmosphere. In fact,
the film affects the viewer relen-
tlessly with its authentic feel:
outwardly lighthearted, but
dreary and empty around the
edges. The lavish costumes and
elegant sets contrast grimly with
bombed - out Berlin.

The plot of Just A Gigolo
follows Paul (Bowie), a Prussian

- educated lieutenant, from the
last shots of WWI through his
degrading stopgap jobs and half

- hearted political forays until he
becomes "just a gigolo " - the
only career left for an aristocrat
whose ideals disappeared. As

Musician -
actor David
Bowie stars
in JUST A
GIGOLO

far as evaluating acting skills,
David Bowie has the role of a
sensitive, confused and sexually
pursued idealist down pat. The
dialog isn't substantial; it's the
small gestures and frozen
features that register feeling.

The story is developed also
around the four women who
shape Paul's destiny. First to
affect his ideas and ideals is an
elegant prostitute and former
Baroness, played by Maria
Schell, who boards with Paul's
family. The second 'fallen'
Baroness turned fortunehunter
(Kim Novak) actively pursues
Paul and begins training him as
her escort. Marlene Dietrich is
still another ex - Baroness who
has become a sort of den -
mother forgigolos (one just can't

call her a pump). Yet she is wise
and radiant and accpeting of her
new position - everyone else is
play - acting their optimism.
Finally there is Cilly, a childhood
friend turned cabaret singer and
movie star. When she can afford
the gigolo's price, he has lost
interest in love.

Tied in to the background is a
subplot concerning the rise of
Nazism in postwar Germany.
Paul's ex - army commander has
become a fanatic underground
leader, and as he spreads his
brand of elitism, he un-
consciously picks up Paul's aris-
tocratic gestures. Attention to
details like these all through the
film make the entirity more im-
pressive than just another
Cabaret.

This album will, therefore,
serve as a good sampler of Lou
Reed material for someone
wishing to begin a collection.
Lou Reed is one of the greatest
and most influential musicians

of the '60s. Without him, the
punk movement may never have
started. To fully appreciate him,
listen to Coney Island Baby or
an old V.U. album. His voice,
always soothing, will grow on
you.

Dance Aflonfa

Les Grands Ballets Canadiens
will pack a life - time of dance
into its one performance at the
Fox Theatre on January 27. The
diverse and imaginative
programming spans fifty eight
years of dance classics, in-
cluding the spectacular dance -
drama Carmina Burana, and en-
compasses virtually every dance
idiom But one would expect no
less from a company that has
become known in its native
Montreal and around the world
for innovation, versatility and
mastery of every dance style.
Students can save with two dis-
count plans - advance sales or
rush.

The Canadian press gushes
with pride about this national
treasure. Saskatoon's Star
Phoenix wrote, "Indeed, even in
the international world of dance
they stand apart, distinctive . . .
this company brings a sense of
'today' to their dance. And this
from Ottowa s The Citizen, "Les
Grands Ballets Canadiens isfast
becoming the most innovative
dance company in the country . .
. the company has chosen to
steer clear of old warhorses like
'Swan Lake' and 'Giselle' in
favor of works by contemporary
choreographers. The idea is a
good one . . . Les Grands Ballets
Canadiens is on the right track."

Critics in the United States
and abroad follow suit - "Our
northern neighbor's most in-
novative ambassador to the
world" - Chicago Magazine; "A
fine company full of a vigor, an
elegance and a stage presence
which truly represents the
exhilarating spirit of its coun-
try - La Gazzettede Lausanne.
The imaginative Atlanta

program will give the Canadian
Company a chance to live up to
its reputation as an innovative,
spirited ensemble.

Of all the works Paul Taylor
has created, there is none more
popular with audiences than
Aureole. This simple and joyous
dance creates a world full of
playfulness and light. Mon-
treal's The Gazette wrote of Les
Grands Ballets Canadiens'
performance of this contempory
classic, "Aureole is the kind of
dance that can smooth any wrin-
kled brow. It's delicious without
being sticky, gay without delving
for belly laughs. It's fun ... its
perfect."

Soaring is a work which casts
six - five women and a scarf. The
scarf plays an integral role in the
dance. At different moments it
becomes a wave, a flower un-
folding or a stormy sky. It often
takes on a life of its own to which
the dancers must respond.

Soaring was choreographed
in 1 920 and was a collaboration
between Doris Humphrey and
Ruth St. Denis. For many years,
this piece was performed
throughout the United States,
Europe and the Orient as part of
the repertory of the Denishawn
Company. Doris Humphrey often
danced the center role and
Martha Graham once held a
corner of the scarf. This revival
was re-created last year for Les
Grands Ballets Canadiens by
Marian Rice, a former student of
Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn.
The re-creation certainly has
historical significance, but even
more significantly, it holds up as
a beautiful creation in its own
right, not just a period piece.

Chicago Actress To Portray Nine Women

The critically acclaimed
Chicago actress and playwright
Karma Ibsen - Riley will portray
nine unique and compelling
personalities in her one - woman
show "Nine Women" Thursday,
Jan. 29, at Agnes Scott College.

Ibsen - Riley, who for the past
year has performed her play to
sold - out houses throughout the
Midwest, will perform at 8:15
p.m. in the Winter Theatre of the
Dana Fine Arts Building. Spon-
sored by the Agnes Scott theatre

department and the University
Center in Georgia, "Nine
Women" is free to the public.

Ibsen-Riley will also perform
"Nine Women" Wednesday,
Jan. 28, at Georgia State
University at 8 p.m. in Room 1 1 5
of the General Classroom
Building. Admission is free.

Her performance in "Nine
Women" has been praised by
the Chicago newspapers, in-
cluding the Chicago Sun Times
whose reviewer stated, "Karma
Ibsen - Riley is a unique actress
of considerable magnitude.
She's a great storyteller, a
master of dialects and a perfec-
tionist of mannerisms.

Making her costume and
makeup changes on stage, the
37 - year - old Ibsen - Riley
presents the lives and thoughts
of nine women she has known
personally. She begins with
Ellen, a flighty divorcee and
artist; Elizabeth, a suburban
housewife with a permanently
disabled husband; and Mary
Lou, a bowling alley manager
with an I.Q. of 170. The actress
then proceeds to Magda. an
elderly world traveler, vagabond
and sailor; Cynthia, a 60 - year -
old Jewish paraplegic who is a
poet, sculptor and writer and
Nina, jack - of - all - trades. The
three - act play concludes with
Christie, a mother with a

A recording by Canada's rek-
nowned Orford String Quartet of
music by Schubert and
Canadian composer Murray
Schaffer was the inspiration for
Double Quartet. Resident
choreographer Brian McDonald
has brilliantly captured in
movement the stark contrasts in
mood between the melodious
Schubert score and the brisk,
percussive Schaffer work. The
piece vacilates between pure
classical ballet and lifts and
intertwinings which defy gravity
and the laws of human anatomy,
all the time demonstrating the
tremendous versitility of the
dancers.

The evening comes to a
climactic close with the dramatic
and theatrical Carmina Burana.
Resident choreographer

Fernand Nault's treatment of
this dance theatre spectacle has
been received enthusiastically
around the world. The Seattle
Times wrote, "Carmina Burana
really showed the company's
strengths - dance drama and
winning athleticism." Carmina
Burana, or songs of Beuron, are
based on 13th Century manus-
cripts found in a Bavarian
monastery. Its authors must
have been troubadors, monks
and errant students. From the
collection of two hundred songs,
composer Carol Orff chose
twenty five for a cantata, which
premiered at the Frankfurt
Opera in 1937. The beginning
and end of this grand medieval
pageant invoke Fortune's Wheel
which controls man's destiny.
Other episodes re-create the

court of love, springtime, and an
earthy tavern scene.

can save $2.00 on any $10.25,

Ibsen-Riley wrote her play,

wanted to call attention to the
need "to respect each other's

The Competition

Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving in the competition.

In THE COMPETITION,

Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving
are rivals for the same glittering
award. Everything they have
lived for . . . and dreamed of . . .
hinges on a test of talent and
intensity. They should be
enemies. But they have broken
the cardinal rule of competition.
They have fallen in love.

Richard Dreyfuss portrays
Paul Dietrich, a piano prodigy
who enters the competition as
his "last chance." Amy Irving
portrays Heidi Schoonover, a
young girl coached by ambitious
Lee Remick, and this is Heidi's
first competition - She is certain
she cannot win.

TRIVIA CONTEST

Richard Dreyfuss is that rarity
... a romantic star who's also
one of the screen's finest actors.
His remarkable range is the sub-
ject of this quiz, which traces the
Dreyfuss ca reerthrough some of
the roles he has played. Here
goes . . .

1 . It was love at first sight
when an off - Broadway actor,
starring in an ill-fated produc-
tion of "Richard III," moved in on
a Broadway chorus girl with a
dismal romantic past. The
original screenplay was by Neil
Simon, and when Dreyfuss won
Marsha Mason, he won an Os-

car as well.

2. Richard Dreyfuss made two
pictures for Steven Spielberg . . .
and both rank among
Hollywood's all-time box office
hits. The first was this splashy
version of Peter Benchley's best

- seller about a menacing
mouthful which terrorized the
New England coastline. Robert
Shaw and Roy Scheider co-
starred.

3. A driving compulsion led
Dreyfuss to a Wyoming moun-
tain peak - and a confrontation
man has dreamt of for centuries

- in his second film for Steven
Spielberg. Moviegoers had two
chances to encounter this
visionary tale, since Columbia
Pictures released it in a special
new edition only this past
summer.

4. Now we'll get tricky. It was
Richard Dreyfuss 's first movie
role and he had only one line - an
offer to call the police to arrest
Dustin Hoffman for disturbing
the peace. If you don't know the
answer, you don't go to the head
of the class.

The first ten students to reply
to The Profile (box 764) with the
correct answers to our
competition will win a free pass
to a screening of The
Competition good for two
persons.

Sophomore Vacations In Germany

by Kim Kennedy

Dana Wright, a sophomore,
had an experience during
Christmas break that very few
poeple have had. While visiting
her parents in Bremen she spent
Christmas in Austria and
traveled through East and West
Berlin.

Dana spent the majority of the
break in Bremen, where her
father is working for NASA in as-
sociation with ERNO, the
European Space Organization.
While there, she was able to
observe the customs and holiday
traditions of Germany. As do
many Americans, all German
families make advent wreaths
containing four candles

surrounded by cut greenery.
Each candle is lighted at 2:00,
tea time, the four Sundays
before Christmas. Christmas
trees are not put up until
Christmas Eve and are
decorated with white lights. All
Christmas presents are opened
on this night.

The Christmas season itself
has several variations as com-
pared to ours. They celebrate St.
Nicholas' Day in the beginning of
December. Children putouttheir
shoes for food. The town of
Bremen erects a Christmas tree
in the center of town, and
several shops open for the sale
of ornaments, and there is much
shopping, but aside from this,
commercialization is not as great

as we know it in the United
States. A "not very fat" Santa
Claus stands outside stores
along with St. Nicholas. Children
do not have their pictures made
with Santa, in fact, says Dana,
"children are rarely seen."

Dana and her family did not
spend Christmas in Bremen.
Instead they traveled about 500
miles to Tyrol, Austria. There
they stayed in a ski lodge with six
other American families as well
as Germans. Among the fes-
tivities for them were "drinks on
the house," sled races, and
Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
Christmas night was spent how
it should be - with a horse drawn
sleigh ride through the snow!

The day after Christmas the

Wrights boarded the "duty
train" for East and West Berlin.
Dana described the trip through
West Germany as being a
"smooth ride." But after chang-
ing engines at the East German
border the ride became "jerky"
as the tracks became less cared
for. This also seemed to be the
case for East and West Berlin.
While West Berlin was modern
and clean, East Berlin was gray
and dirty. The Strassenbahn
trolley was run down and many
buildings still contained bullet
holes from World War II. The
Wrights were also told that
while in East Berlin they were to
take no pictures of moving ob-
jects or anything that contained
a government seal.

After several nights in an army
hotel in West Berlin they again
boarded the duty train, this time
for the six hour trip back to
Bremen, where Dana spent the
remainder of her - break.
Naturally, she is finding it hard to
have her parents so far away,
but as she states, "So few
people get the opportunity our
family has. I just feel very
fortunate to have been able to
see so much of the world."

Dana hopes to travel to
Marburg in June with the other
Agnes Scott students. And after
the seven weeks of study will
return to Bremen to help her
parents with the move back to
Titusville, Florida in August.

Italian Vacation Remembered

by Nancy Lynn Blake

During Christmas Break I had
the opportunity to go to Rome,
Italy, with my family and ninety-
five other people on a tour spon-
sored by Builder Marts of
America. Leaving from New York
on November 30, 1980, the
group flew Alitalia Airlines to
Rome and stayed for five days at
the Hotel Exselsior Roma.
Although the group spent each
night in Rome, we were able to
travel by bus south to Naples and
to Pompeii (on one day) and

On Tuesday and Wednesday,
January 27th and 28th,
numerous distinguished
authors and speakers will gather
at Agnes Scott College to
participate in The Atlanta En-
vironmental Symposium III. In
an effort to acquaint the
students with the participants,
some short biographies have
been prepared.

BARRY COMMONER, en-
vironmental biologist, is best
known for his books Science
and Survival, The Closing
Circle, The Poverty of Power
and The Politics of Energy. His
research interests include,
among others, the origins and
significance of the en-
vironmental and energy crises,
environmental carcinogenesis,
development of strategies to
reduce the vulnerability of
United States agriculture to
disruptions from energy
shortages and price increases,
and analysis of the current
status of the nitrogen cycle. He
was a 1980 Presidential can-
didate on the Citizen's Party
ticket.

north to Florence on another
day. The few days in Rome were
spent mostly sightseeing, but
there was limited time allowed
for shopping and individual
exploration.

From the first day we had
trouble adapting to their culture,
literally. After spending hours to
find an adapter for the electrical
outlets at the hotel, my sister
and I plugged in our 1200 watt
hair dryers and promptly blew
the fuse for the entire hall -
twice. The man from the hotel in

winning journalist, is the author
of the book Footprints on the
Planet: A Search for an En-
vironmental Ethic. He was one

of the three original members of
the President's Council on En-
vironmental Quality appointed
governing boards of several en-
vironmental organizations, in-
cluding, among others, The En-
vironmental Policy Institute and
John Muirs Institute for En-
vironmental Studies and the
Bolton Institute (see Grays
below).

NOEL ERSKINE, theologian
and ethicist, professor at Can-
dler School of Theology, Emory
Inversity is the author of Black
People and the Reformed
Church in America and
Decolonizing Theology He is
associate editor of the Journal

our door and "clearly" explained
the situation to us, (in Italian)

There was also some adap-
tation necessary on our part to
the food and beverages. The
standard fare for dinner included
hard rolls (always), a delicious
pasta course, a salad course of
olives and thinly sliced meats,
followed by the entree, which
was very often veal with green
beans and some form of fried
potatoes. Usually dessert was

ice cream. The food was con-
sistently very good with one
outstanding exception. At a
small resaurant outside Pompeii
we were served a "sea food
platter'consisting of whole fried
shrimp (eyes and all), and fried
squid (tentacles and all).
Everyone managed to stick to
their diet remarkably well that
day!

Wine was served to everyone
at both lunch and dinner along
with a glass of bottled water. My
thirteen - year old brother being
no connoisseur of wines, fine or
otherwise, would have happily
settled for a cold glass of milk.
This turned out to be quite a
challenge. Inevitably, when milk
was ordered, the waiter would
deliver a glass of steaming hot
milk. It seems that most res-
taurants are accustomed to
serving cappucine to Americans
made from expresso and hot
milk, and serving cold milk was
almost of unheard of.

We were given the grand tour
of Rome by a handsome and
extremely intelligent Italian tour
guide. Italian men have
definitely got a corner on the
market of looks and charml We
saw the many beautiful foun-
tains in Rome, but the Fountain
of Trevi (of 'Three Coins" fame)
was outstanding. The guide in-
formed us that the first coin
thrown into the fountain
promises that you will return to
Rome; the second means you
will marry in Rome; and the third
promises that you will get a
divorce. Don't toss that third
coinl

The Parthenon, the Pantheon,
various arches of conqueres,
and many other ancient
buildings and monuments
reflect miracles of preservation,
especially considering that
these structures are nearly 1000
years old, give or take a few cen-

turies. The 1 1 8 acre Vatican City
was awesome with its art and
exceedingly influential first
resident. From the top of St.
Peter's Basilica, which can be
reached only by climbing narrow
stairs for ten minutes, there was
a spectacular view of the seven
hills of Rome. This was definitely
worth the effort of the climb.

Another day the group left at
6:30 a.m. to travel south toward
Pompeii in hopes of seeing the
famous town destroyed by the
molten ashes of Mt. Vescuvius
in 79 A.D. When we arrived, it
was announced that due to
another early morning rumble of
the earthquake, Pompeii would
be closed until spring. Instead,
we toured Herculaneum, a
village also covered by lava in 79
A.D. It was amazingl King
Charles of Bourbon began the
excavation of Herculaneum in
1748, and to date 50% of the city
can be toured. Herculaneum is
the lesser known of the towns
destroyed by Mt. Vescuvius,
mainly because it was more of a
residential seacoast town rely-
ing on agriculture and fishing,
whereas Pompeii is known for
its many shops and businesses.
We learned after returning
home that Herculaneum was
also damaged and forced to
close the day after we toured itl

Along with a group of adven-
turesome souls I went to Jackie
O's - a supposedly prestigious
disco, very ornately decorated in
black marble and white cushiony
upholstered sofas. It was
interesting. There was no cover
charge, but everyone had to
order a 10,000 lira drink. (That's
about $1 1 .00 per drink!) For that
price we decided that Jackie O's
could take pointers from the
Limelight

Visiting Rome was like step-
ping into a different world, but
I'm ready to go again!

Gould Lectures

Notice:

All Juniors who plan to late
student teach during the
1981-82 academic session El

by Laurie McBrayer

Stephen J. Gould, a Harvard
professor and paleontologist
was a guest lecturer presented
by the Biology Department and
lecture committee last week.
Prof. Gould spoke on the topic
'The Meaning of Darwin's
Revolution" or as he said, "the
no - nothingness of the Scopes
trial that still afflicts us."

Prof. Gould explained, 'The
main reason it was difficult for
people to accept Darwinism was
that it was philosophically
radical." He discussed the three
contingencies of Darwin's
theory of natural selection: all
organism produce more offspr-
ing than can survive, all
organisms vary, and some of the
variation is inherited. He said
that Darwin accepted the theory

of blending inheritance.

Prof. Gould dedicated part of
his speech to 'The Myth and the
Three Paradoxes." The myth is
that Da rwin was a dull person. In
fact, he was an astute scholar,
according to Prof. Gould.

The first paradox is that
Darwin was not the naturalist
aboard the ship, the Beagle. The
second paradox is that Darwin
did not use the term evolution.
Instead, Darwin referred to
"descent with modification" and
used the verb evolve. In the
nineteenth century, evolution
connoted progress. Darwin's
theory concerns adaptation, not
progress. Prof. Gould showed
slides of several advertisements
that he said misconstrued
Darwin's idea. "Dora I 's theory of
evolution," an ad for cigarettes,
implied that the product had im-
proved with age. An
advertisement for Volkswagen
showed the changes from the
Beetle to the Rabbit. "At least it's
an example of non-gradual
evolution!" said Prof. Gould. He
explained that the ad for Wang
computers has the correct idea:
"A mini computer that adapts to
changing environments." Prof.
Gould also mentioned his recent
book, The Panda's Thumb. He
explained that pandas have five
fingers plus a "thumb" which is
actually a detached wrist bone.
He said that this thumb was not
as good as a real thumb, but that
it was "good enough." He
explained that evolution is not a
principle of perfection.

The third paradox, according
to Prof. Gould is that Darwin
waited 30 years to publish his
theory. Even though Darwin
knew he was sitting on an
inferno" he couldn't have been
afraid of expressing his own
belief in evolution, he said.

Prof Gould treated the topic of
creation ism with sensitivity. He
did not epitomize T. H. Huxley, a
defender of Darwinism. He said,
"It is not my job to tell science
the ways of the world." He
explained that creationism
should not be taught in the clas-
sroom just as evolution should
not be preached from the pulpit.
Following his speech there was
a question and answer session.
One man who teaches in DeKalb
county said that the Board of
Education ruled that he must
teach creationism in his biology
class. He asked Prof Gould what
he would do. While Prof. Gould
said he disagreed with the

Blood. It has always been better

to give than to receive.

Much has changed since the Red Cross blood pro-
gram started in 1947. But one thing hasn t. Needing
blood has always been a lot harder than giving it.
Needing blood is often a matter of life and death.
Giving blood is quite easy. It is a fast, simple,
carefully done process.

So, if there's a blood drive where you work,
please give. If there isn't, call your local Red Cross
chapter to find out where you can give.

You'll be helping us celebrate our 100th birth-
day by giving the best gift of all life.

this campus. Although there are
those who choose to argue the
basis for Black feelings about
these issues, they cannot argue
the reality of those feelings.
Furthermore, the fact that there
are Blacks on this campus who
are offended by these
observances should not have to
be the impetus behind any
changes in practice. History was
written long before Black
students setfooton this campus,
and it is not affected by our
presence or absence.

Stating the matter in a more
direct form, it is time for Agnes
Scott students who participate
in such rituals as those of which
I have spoken to stop straddling
the fence, to decide what they
stand for such that they may be
known by their actions as well as

by their words. Certainly, until
the conflict is resolved, true
understanding and friendship
between the races has little
chance on this campus.

11th, the Students for Black

and I hope, too, thatso will many
other members of the Agnes

time, I will just watch the
fireworks that I am sure that I
have ignited. Certainly, if this

more irresponsible than I
thought. I await your response.

Commoner Speaks At Symposium

The keynote speaker of the
Atlanta Environmental
Symposium was Barry Com-
moner, Professor of En-
vironmental Science, and Direc-
tor of the Center for the Biology
of Natural Systems at
Washington University and the
1980 Citizen Party's Presidential
candidate.

Dr. Commoner is the author of
Science and Survival, The
Closing Circle, The Politcs of
Energy, and The Poverty of
Power. He is currently
interested in the origins of
energy crises and en-

vironmental carcinogens.

He discussed two statements
that people are asked to believe
about scarcity, resources op
earth are limited, and living
things are not limited in their
ability to reproduce. He said, "In
reproducing, people produce
reproducers. " He also explained
that not only are resources on
which we depend not in-
creasing, but they are being
exhausted. He said that the
serious question now is "how do
we govern the access of each
person to shrinking essential
resources?" "We have ap-

proached an age when there is
no longer an abundance; further
growth has to stop," he said.

With swooping arm
movements, Dr. Commoner tried
to illustrate relationships
between birth rate and the
quality of life, and between
energy removed from the ground
and its costs. "During the cam-
paign I learned to draw curves in
the air," he said. He explained
that the higher the birth rate is
the lower the GNP will be, and
thatthe higherthe cost of energy
is, less the amount of energy

removed from the ground will
be.

He discussed
thermodynamics in a "politically
relevant way." He said that
energy is the sole source of
work. He explained thaPwork is
"what you have to do that can't
be done unless you do it
yourself." The example he sup-
plied was the work necessary to
get up in the morning. He said
that work is essential to every
human activity; there is no
substitute for this energy. Com-
moner said that we are not run-
ning out of energy and illus-

trated this by asking, "Do you
know anyone who has no
energy?"

Dr. Commoner advocates the
use of solar energy. He said that
in four years, Brazil's vehicles
will run totally on pure alcohol.
Currently, 30% of all cars and
trucks there are run by alcohol.
Dr. Commoner said, "What
needs to be done is to transform
the production of energy in the
United States and we need to
conserve. Past decisions have
not been made in the national
interest. Production ought to be
decided by the people."

Panel Discussion Offers Humanistic Aspect

by Lee Kite

Wednesday, January 28,
1 981 was the second day of the
Atlanta Environmental

Symposium III. The second ses-
sion of the symposium was a
panel discussion on En-
vironmental Ethics: A Humanis-

tic Perspective with Robert
Cahn, Frederick Ferre, and
Eugene Odum speaking.
Former U.S. Congressman

David Orr Speaks

by Laurie McBrayer

David Orr, former ASC profes-
sor, and director of the
Meadowcreek Project in Fox,
Arkansas, spoke Wednesday in a
luncheon address.

He said that his speech was
entitled "Scarcity, Ethics, and
Politics," because these areas
are "the most central to human
conditions and prospects." Dr.
Orr explained that the 1970s
"were good for environmental
protection; now the focus is on
national defense. According to
Dr. Orr, two out of every three
scientists work on national

defense and within the next
decade the United States will
spend $2 trillion on defense.

Dr. Orr explained that
dependence is built into "even
the average house. Ecological
and human costs of dependence
are seldom seen." "We need to
rebuild neighborhoods to be
self-reliant and sustaining."

The Meadowcreek Project is
one and one-half years old. It is
an experiment conducted by Mr.
Orr and his brother and reflects
"the belief in the need of one
working model demonstration of
an environmentally designed
community." Fifteen people

reside at Meadowcreek. They
recycle their own energy and
wastes and have their own food
system. Mr. Orr said that the
project will not be successful if it
only works intheOzarks. He said
that the major difficulty with this
self-reliance is time.

He said that he does not
believe the energy crisis will be
the critical issue of the 80's;
attention will be given to sup-
plies of food and water.

'The challenge of our time is
to somehow act and find the well
springs of hope in troubled
times."

James Mackay of Decatur
served as moderator.

Robert Cahn, Washington
editor of Auduban magazine and
1969 Pulitzer Prize winner for
national reporting, presented
the first topic concerning en-
vironmentalism and the future.
He dealt with preserving our
wilderness for the future, using
National Parks as his example
and said we should realize, 'The
impact of our resourcefulness
on others."

Cahn discussed business' and
industry's impacts on our en-
vironment. He felt that En-
vironmental Ethics should be
built into their decision-making
process. He had done a case
study on 6 or 7 major companies
such as GE and Amex without
finding an example of en-
vironmental ethics present.

Cahn said it was his opinion,
however, that environmental
feelings is as strong as it has
ever been in the public and that
the nation must "Reshape at-
titudes, values and programs to
live in an age of scarcity without
harming our resources."

Dr. Frederick Ferre followed
Robert Cahn, and his topic in-
volved Philosophy and En-
vironmentalism. His speech
critiqued a book by Hardin. Dr.
Ferre felt that Hardin was not
giving the right persepctive of
the meaning of scarcity and
reminded his audience that
"Scarcity is a relative term that
can mean anything from in-
convenience to desperation."

Eugene Odum was the last
speaker of the panel discussion
and he was concerned with the
ecological aspect of en-
vironmentalism.

Odum felt that ecology is get-
ting back to the basics and
stressed the importance of this.
His question/topic was whether
or not a total transition to solar
power is possible, and the
problems that could arise. "I am
not as optimistic as Dr. Com-
moner, "he said, concerning the
ease of the transition. But he did
not mean for us to exclude it as a
solution - just to iron our the
problems first.

The panel discussion was the
second event of the symposium.

Issues and Answers: Replies

Dear Burlette,

Congratulations for having the
courage to voice your opinion
an opinion which has ignited
some fireworks, well at least
some large sparks. Though it
may appear that I am afraid of a
potential fire, in reality, I am only
perplexed by the variety and
complexity of the sparks which
are aflame. But then again, you
mentioned many different is-
sues in your article. I only wish
that I had the capacity to deal
with all of them. So, please
respect my courage to voice my
opinion on a few of the issues
and accept my apology for not
addressing all of your concerns.

First, let me briefly explain
about the "variety of the
sparks." Some sparks hit the
ASC social life that we as
students must decide "between
(our) desire for a social life and
acceptance" (namely in the
context of fraternity social life)"
and (our) desire to end prejudice
. . ." This assumes that having a

alcohol

Movies - all up to $6

Concerts, Plays, Clubs - all up
to $6 - if over $1 2 - 3 A ticket price.

Payment will occur after

social life (again, assuming that
this social life only includes
fraternities) means ignoring the
worlds' problems, including this
one in particular - prejudice. It
further implies that we who
participate in fraternity
functions throw aside our
moralistic priorities in the name
of social acceptance. Even
though this might be true for
some, for most, social accep-
tance, social fun is necessary for
students who spend at least five
days -aut of seven in their
studies. And our two main op-
tions on this campus for this
necessary outlet are fraternities
and churches. Perhaps these
types of options are only
available for a select few, but
this problem is not caused by
ASC students, they are victims
of it.

Some other sparks fell on in-
dividuals when you cited
particular "racist" events. These
sparks ignited a personal res-
ponse: anger in being associated

bursement should be placed in

with racism and dismay in not
being approached by you about
the issue before now.

So, the Sparks burn in
different areas of the campus as
well as at different intensities.
But thank goodness for these
flames for they may give all of us
the light to see what each of us
can do.

Now, let me ask both of us to
look under these flames. What is
its fuel? I see exactly what you
see "the reality of those
feelings (about prejudice)." Un-
fortunately, due in part to our
complex social structure, vary-
ing socialization process, etc.,
each of us sees reality through
different perspectives. I can
understand the "intellectual
bondage" of Blacks and the im-
portance that history has played
in the formation of your identity.
But due to diverse backgrounds,
not everyone sees American his-
tory, and our present, in terms of
racism. I am not denying that is
there, but because we do not feel
it or live it, we do not act out of it.
But, unfortunately, because of
our different perspectives, you
might find it difficult to accept
this.

You wonder, "How can Peggy

put on a hooped Southern Bell
dress, place her arm around a
gentleman in a Confederate
uniform and not think of
slavery?" Well, Burlette, I do. I
thank God that slavery no longer
exists for Blacks or for women.
We have the choice toget in and
out of those hoops as well as the
choice to zip up each other's
dresses. I thank God that from
this "disgraceful period" some
"beauty has survived; we have
survived. The Old South "ritual"
is not to glorify the days of
slavery, but a celebration of our
present, which has been molded
by our past. Although some feel
this "ritual" includes symbols of
bondage for both women and
Blacks, others, namely the KA's
feel differently. And this brings
us back to the varying perspec-
tive of reality.

Another tiny example of
perspective includes the "Wi d
West Party" which Honor Court
sponsored last week. Did anyone
feel that this was an event
symbolizing the massacring of
the American Indians? To some
yes, to some no. Perspective.

But, I stress that one view of
reality does not make the other
infinite views void. Yet, we do

need to be conscious that we all
operate differently. We need to
recognize that anyone who
refuses to see someone else's
perspective is acting and judging
out of ignorance and is guilty of
buying prejudice.

In this sense, I can not see my
life "straddling a fence"
choosing between prejudice and
equlaity. I do not think that there
is such a dichotomy. Life choices
are much more complex.
Instead, we have to find the
courage to learn about ourselves
and others and become willing
to share this knowledge. Never
should be become so incensed
with the attitude that "my"
perspective is the only correct
one. We should become whole -
understanding each other and
together finding the courage to
say "yes, we are different," but
out of mutual respect. We live
and live in spirit of, and more
because of, our differences.

Yes, the sparks must fly. But, it
will take all of us, together, toget
the water to put any fires out
before we are all burned so badly
that we will never heal.

Sincerely,
Peggy Davis

Music Major Performs on Television

Senior Maribeth Kouts' uni-

voice. For example, as her gift to
the people she works with in the
Developmental Office she sang
Christmas songs.

Maribeth has an impressive

Maribeth made up her mind to
develop and continue her
musical career. Twice she
received top honors in the
women's solo division of the
Regional Literary meet. She
made further reaffirmation of
herfuture goals after playing the
three leading roles i n
"Camelot", "Oklahoma", and
'The Sound of Music". But the
honor that meant the most ac-
cording to Maribeth was being
awarded the Distinguished Prin-
cipal's Award for her con-
tributions in musicto herschool.

Maribeth was persuaded to
attend Agnes Scott by Janet

dual degree with a major in
Aerospace Engineering. These
are among the technical majors
required by the scholarship.

During her freshman and
sophomore years, Amy spent
two hours a week at Tech, where
she attended one hour of class
and participated in uniform, and
one hour of marching. The first
class was a history of the Air
Force, the second was a military
history of the world.

Stewart, then director of the
ASC Glee Club and it was with
Mrs. Stewart that she had her
first voice lesson. Her first three
years at Scott included being the
recipient of the Nanette Hopkins
Scholarship in Music,
membership in the ASC Glee
Club and singing with the
Decatur Civic Chorus. Her junior
year was especially productive,
having been selected to sing the
National Anthem at the
September 1 Atlanta Braves
game, which Maribeth describes
as being "quite an experience."
It is easy to understand her being
"mortified," having to perform
for over fifteen thousand people.

But fear is something
Maribeth has had to "work
through." She says the only way
to overcome it is by practicing
over and over aga in. Sometimes,
though, her extreme excitement
is mistaken forfear. She said her
only fear now is that she will not
be good enough for her future
goals, but she knows that is also
something she will have to work

Last summer, Amy had one
month of field training, which in-
troduces and orients cadets to
the Air Force. "It was a lot of fun.
We even got to pilot a plane - an
instructor was with us, of
course." She explained that the
Air Force doesn't have as
rigorous physical requirements
as the army.

This year, Amy has three
hours of class per week on
Leadership and Management,
and as a flight commander
teaches other cadets how to
march.

When she graduates, Amy will
have a commission as second
lieutenant and will serve in the
Air Force for 4years in exchange
for her scholarship. 'They really
try to place you in a job relating
to your major," she said. She
could be stationed anywhere in
the world.

Amy's ultimate goal is to
become a Flight Test Engineer,
which entails testing new
aircraft.

She is also a member of
Arnold Air, a professional social
organization for ROTC cadets. It
plans parties for the rest of the
force, holds conclaves in
different parts of the country,
and works with such groups as
the March of Dimes. "It's
interesting because you get in-
volved in another aspect of the
Corps that's not work-related."

In Amy's opinion, "One of the

through. She said it is worth the
intense mental work for her to
have people say after a
performance, "You make it look
so easy!"

In February or March PBS will
air a one-hour television show
featuring Maribeth. The show
will be spliced with the piano
solo of Maryanne Gannon and
will feature a combination of
arias and art songs. She will also
be the musical director for the
Blackfriars' upcoming produc-
tion of 'The Apple Tree". In April
Maribeth will give her senior
recital entitled "An Evening of
Aria and Song."

Maribeth said her long range
plans include hopes of perform-
ing with the Metropolitan Opera
and an ultimate career teaching
voice to those seriously attempt-
ing voice as a career. First,
though, she said she would like
to get her Masters in Vocal
Performance at the Philadelphia
School of Performing Arts.

major benefits of the ROTC
program is that it enables me to
be at Agnes Scott." Her Air Force
training has, "brought me into
contact with all kinds of people
and I've learned how to work
with and have authority over
them. It also guarantees me a job
when I graduate."

Amy's biggest problem is fin-
ding transportation to classes at
Tech. "But the Air Force
personnel have been really
helpful. They've come through
on everything," she said.

NOTICE

This Wednesday, February
4, two mandatory con-
vocations will be held at
1 1 .30 a.m.. A meeting for all
students, excluding RTC
students will be held in
Rebekah Reception Room.
Because of several incidents
at the TGIF party held
January 23, no more TGIF's
will be held this year. This
decision was made by Dean
Kirkland and Social Council
representatives. At the
meeting, drinking, fire
hazards, and the honor code
will be discussed.

A meeting for RTC students
who enrolled September
1980 or January 1981 will be
held upstairs in the hub to
discuss the honor code,
particularly exams.

Maribeth said not only does it
require the talent and desire to
become a successful singer, but
also the support of those around
you. Apart from the constant
support of her family, Maribeth
specifically mentioned some
very influential people in her life:
family friend Mary Alice Hearn,
Mary Anne Sharp, director of the
Decatur Civic Chorus and Jean
Lemonds, voice instructor at
ASC. Says Maribeth, 'The sup-
port and love that comes out of
Presser Hall is indescribable."

Elvis Costello And The Attractions

by Lunar Lily

Elvis for King. Hey, the south
has always been big on El-vis,
and even though this one didn't
throw scarves and sing 'Blue
Hawaii", he attracted a solid
crowd of admirers to the Fox
Theatre Saturday night. Elvis
Costello, masterblaster of the
perfect pop song, had returned.

Despite a rumor that Elvis
would play first (D., you must not
get carried away so) the English
band Squeeze opened the show.
They leaned heavily on tunes
from their most recent album
Argy Bargy including the
wonderful "Pulling Mussels
From A Shell", but got their
loudest response for "Slightly
Drunk" - an appropriate song
considering the stimulating
effect they had on the audience.
Atlanta missed hearing "Cool
For Cats" and got, instead, a
danceable "How Long Has This
Been Going On" (the oldie of the

evening).

As the lights dimmed after
intermission Elvis strolled
onstage and began with a ballad
(a new one, this was). When the
lights came up - here was a
brand new Elvis, well-fed (about
20 pounds heavier) and respec-
table (in a three piece suit). But
this Elvis could still cut loose and
attack with his music. Those bit-
ing lyrics only sounded more
cynical when delivered with a
crooner's control.

Elvis altered states and
alternated rockers and slower
ballads throughout the show. He
performed quite a few songs
("Luxembourg" and "Club
Land" among others) from his
forthcoming album, Trust.
These were mixed in with many,
but not all, of the old favorites:
"Opportunity" and "High
Fidelity" from Get Happy! ;
"downtime Is Over" (the slower
version) from Taking Liberties;

"Accidents Will Happen",
"Green Shirt" and "Watching
the Detectives" with a few bars
of St e v i e Won d e r ' s
"Masterblaster" (does that
mean anything?) thrown in from
Armed Forces; plus a crowd-
rousing "Pump It Up" (the en-
core) from This Year's Model

Still, I was offended by the
omission of "Miracle Man",
'The Angels Wanna Wear My
Red Shoes", "Five Gears in
Reverse", "Clean Money",
"Blame It Cain", "(What's So
Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and
Understanding". ..oh the list
goes on. One young man was so
upset by the omission of "Girls'
Talk" that he took off his athletic
socks and threw them towards
the stage. Even the wonderful
'curtin of light' stage effects
couldn't console him. As long as
Elvis is so prolific, one night just
won't be enough.

CORRECTION

In the Lou Reed album review
on page four of last week's

last paragraph should have read
'This album will, therefore, NOT
serve as a good sampler of Lou
Reed material for someone
wishing to begin a collection."

instead of "Will. ..serve". Also,
the fourth sentence of the fourth
paragraph of the Just A Gigolo
review should have read "one
just can't call her a pimp"
instead of "pump". We regret

have caused.

Dear Editor:

This letter is in response tothe
editorial by Burlette Carter
which appeared in the January
26 issue of THE PROFILE.

As Southerners, and as Kappa
Alpha Little Sisters of the Crim-
son Cross, we would like the op-
portunity to define what Old
South signifies to us.

When we celebrate at Old
South, we are celebrating the
good things that came from our
heritage: Chivalry, courage, gen-
tlemanly conduct, respect for
womanhood, and the undying
spirit of knights of old. We do
not deny or ignore the fact that
slavery existed during the

period; however it is NOT the
institution of slavery that we
celebrate at Old South.

We choose to remember the
good things that came from our
Southern heritage and put the
bad elements of our past IN THE
PAST. Surely every ethnic group
throughout history has had
some elementof its heritage that
it would like to erase; ours, as
southerners, is the fact that our
ancestors allowed and accepted
slavery.

We also feel that the limits of
friendship do not stop where
differences of opinion begin.
Everyone is entitled to his or her
own opinion.

We are not being hypocritical
or naive when we celebrate our
Southern heritage, which we
are extremely proud of. We feel
that we, in good conscience,
may continue to attend Old
South and at the same time
respect the feelings of the Black
students on the Agnes Scott
campus because we are not
celebrating the bondage of Black
Americans.

There are two last things that
we want to mention. First, the
American flag is flaunted by
groups of Klansmen does this
mean we should remove it from
the flag pole in the quad? And
last, the song "DIXIE" was

written by a Black man who was
in the north and longed for the
good old sunny south.

Dear Editor,

Since this seems to be open
season for witch hunts, cus-
toms, and seemingly pointless
celebrations, I would like to
speak out at this time against the
pagan tradition of Halloween.
Surely in our "Christian" society
the glorifications of ghosts,
devils, and other assorted

hobgoblins of the underworld
cannot and must not continue to
have a viable place. We only help
to strengthen demonic power by
participating in such irres-
ponsible rituals as trick-or-treat-
ing and masquarades.

We at Agnes Scott can play an
integral role in the abolition of
this custom. Besides, witch
hunts are always good for a few
choruses of "United We Stand,"
regardless of the witch's garb,
be it rags or antebellum attire

Don't give me "that old black
magic" anymore,

Expanded Interests Yeilds Irresponsibility?

Dear Editor:

As seniors who are not yet old
but getting rather tired, we
realize with reluctance and relief
that the time has finally rolled
around again for SGA elections.
These elections generally mark
for seniors the end of on-campus
involvement in most extra-
curricular activities and provide
a time for us to prepare for the
culture shock of life, res-
ponsibility and decisions in the
"real world." But is campus life
not a realistic preparation for
some aspects of the "real
world"?

One must admit that life at
college is not limited to the
academic realm; we are all en-
couraged to "get involved," to
"expand our interests," and to
"utilize our talents" in the clas-
sroom and outside of it in order
to be "well-rounded" individuals
who will function ably beyond
Agnes Scott's gates. After the
freshman year, leaders emerge
in the upper classes, followed by
eager volunteers, and observed
casually by side-liners not driven
to participate. This state of af-
fairs seems perfect: every-one
left on her own to follow her
talents and interests. In such a
situation, however, "res-
ponsible" and similar scout-

worthy adjectives are used to
describe those who opt for the
hectic schedule while
"apathetic" characterizes those
who choose uninvolvement.

As the academic year
thunders ahead, however, irres-
ponsibility and real apathy
begin to surface in those who
had previously chosen to
participate. For example: the

volunteers but never appears at

Thomas More in Maclean

those of the present, noting that
Renaissance men felt one

for practical purposes. Said the
Professor, 'The Renaissance
men truly believedthatthe study
of Classical literature was the
way to reform society." Com-

day liberal arts thinking he said,
"We often get nervous when
practicality is forced on our
education." The Professor

doctrine as "Study not to do
something, but to be
something."

In orderto understand Renais-
sance literature, stated Profes-
sor Marius, we must understand
the sense of emergency which
pervadedthe minds of people liv-
ing in the age. Said Marius, "The
people of the Middle Agnes did
not like to waste time. They
harboured a driving conviction
that something was terribly
wrong with the age and that
something terrible would occur
if something was not done.

Professor Marius then went
on to show how this sense of
Emergency revealed itself in the
writings of Sir Thomas More.
Using Mores Utopia as a prime
example, the Professor noted
More's concern over the tension
between the ideal and the ac-
tual. He called Utopia a work in
which "all of human history
comes under judgement."

Although Professor Marius
recognized More as a brillant

author and man, he also stated
that the tension between the
ideal and the actual was so great
that More became more
concerned with saving his own
soul than with saving society. In
other words, according to
Professor Marius, "More's
desire for assurance of salvation
overcame his sense of bonding
to other people simply because
they were human beings." The
Professor pointed out that at
death, More felt he had achieved
his own salvation; thus the
Englishman was serene even as
he neared the end.

The visiting Professor stated
that his studies in Renaissance
literature have revealed to him
More's keen wit and great story-
telling ability. He said More
probably had "the best sense of
detail of any writer between
Chaucer and Shakespeare.
Professor Marius, himself,
proved throughout the lecture a
witty and able storyteller, much
to the delight of a responsive
audience which seemed very
pleased with his presentation.

Social Council Comments

Social Council would like to
thank everyone who participated
in, and contributed to, "Winter
Weekend 1981" held January
23 and 24. All of the comments
Social Council has received
about the band; Holiday Inn; and
the overall attitudes about the
party, seem to be positive. This
event was a trial run for Social
Council and we are open to
comments and criticisms about
future parties and dances. The
success of the party Saturday
night was due to the excellent
coordinating of Malinda Roberts
and the hard work of each Social
Council member. Any serious
complaints regarding the
weekend (excluding music) can

be referred to Darby Bryan.

In many ways the TGIF held on
January 23 was a success,
however, it was also a failure in
other ways. Due to various
circumstances it was the last
TGIF to be held by the present
Social Council. Social Council
and Dean Kirkland will explain
all reasons concerning the
curtailment of TGIF's this
Wednesday, February 4 at a
mandatory convocation. The
subject of this convocation is
imperative for the well being of
each "responsible" Agnes Scott
student, and I urge everyone to
attend.
Thanks,

Women's Career Convention To Be In Atlanta

A "supermarket of career in-
formation" can be found under
one roof at the First Annual
Atlanta WOMEN'S CAREER
CONVENTION, March 27-28 at
the Hyatt Regency, 265
Peachtree St., N.E. The
Conference, which is opentothe
public, is expected to attract
women from all age, income and
educational levels.

Students can gain an
overview of careers and job op-
portunities available today
through exhibiting companies,
schools and organizations. In ad-
dition, over 30 workshops on
career advancement will be con-

ducted. Admission is $15 each
day; a special $10 admission is
available to students with an I.D.
card.

Gloria Steinem, author and
Ms. Magazine editor, and noted
psychologist Dr. Joyce Brothers,
will each deliver a keynote ad-
dress at the Convention. Other
speakers include Atlanta-area
career experts and business
leaders.

Over 50 companies will
exhibit to recruit women and as-
sist in career planning. Students
with no prior work or interview-
ing experience will find the
workshop program valuable;

topics i nclude how and where to
find desirable jobs, what to say
in an interview, and how to
negotiate a high salary.

In addition, individual resume-
writing advice will be available
at no charge in the Exhibit Hall.

Between 8,000 and 10,000
women from Atlanta and the
southern region are expected to
attend this exciting event.
Women just entering the job
market can take advantage of
this great "networking" op-
portunity with other working
women and business profes-
sionals.

"Students about to enter the

job market can informally meet
representatives from a wide
variety of companies and dis-
cuss career and job op-
portunities. Many companies
will be actively recruiting,"
states Convention director
Sherren Leigh. Her firm, Leigh
Communications, Inc., has
sponsored similar events
throughout the country.

"We felt students, especially,
needed to have better access to
career information, and we
wa nted to do more tha n j ust a job
fair," Leigh says. "Even one day
at this Conference will prove in-
valuable in career planning - the

information gained from im-
partial experts can put you years
ahead in salary."

Admission is $1 5 a day, or $1 0
with a student I.D. card, and in-
cludes entry to the Exhibit Area
and attendance to all
workshops. Registrants will also
receive a copy of THE WOMEN'S
YELLOW PAGES, a resource
booklet containing career-
related articles and recruitment
advertising.

books as At the Edge of H istory ,
a semi-finalist for the National
Book Award in 1 971 . He is also a
former professor from MIT and
other prestigious universities.
Now, however, Mr. Thompson is
the founding director of the Lin-
disfarne Association, an eight-
year-old community of scholars
from all generations.

William Irwin Thompson
spoke as what he termed a

"hopeful pessimist." He
predicted for the world a com-
plete cultural revolution similar
to that which occurred in Europe
in the 1 5th Century. "I look for a
rapid and rather accelerated
change coming on us," he told
his audience. The thesis of his
argument is that we are going
from a steady state to a state of
creative catastrophe. Catas-
trophe was an idea that Mr.
Thompson particularly stressed.
He said that out of destruction
rises creativity and that disaster
is to be accepted. "We have to
see catastrophe as part of the
dynamics of human systems,"
Mr. Thompson said. An interest-
ing parallel he mentioned is that

in the same year as Dracula was
written the world's first blood
transfusion took place.

According to Mr. Thompson
we are reaching a stage once
again where conditions warrant
a change. The changes he
expects will be far-reaching and
will occur in a very short time
span. The final result he expects
from this catastrophe is the end
of the nation-state as it evolved
in the Fifteenth Century. What
he expects to develop in the
place of the nation state is a
"cross- hybernation of cultures"
similar to, but far more reaching
than that which has taken place
in California. He credits
California governor Jerry Brown

with bringing together things as
diverse as Zen Buddhism and
cybernetics. He says that this
mixture of Western technology
and Eastern mysticism will lead
to innovation and he looks to the
Pacific Ocean for the center of
this exchange.

Mr. Thompson did not speak
much on his Lindisfarne Project
other than to describe it as

"creative and dynamic." It is a
community in Colorado with no
organization and no leader
where scholars ranging from
"astronauts to Benedictine
monks" work the ground and
write their books. They average
about one fellow in residence a
year. The goal is to try to bring
about a meeting of different
philosophies similar to that of
the Renaissance.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

First let me thank you for offer-
ing The Profile as a medium for
the free discussion of some very
important though delicate is-
sues. I hope that the paper will
continue to be a viable medium
for this important kind of dis-
cussion and interaction.

I must, however, express my
surprise at finding the title of my
initial article concerning
Southern rituals changed from
"Issues and Answers" to "Is-
sues and Answers: Old South."
Although I recognize the
prerogatives which come with
the title "editor," I feel that the
particular addition of "Old
South" had a significant effect
on what persons perceived as
the subject of the piece. While I
do not deny that Old South is
among my concerns, it is not the
most significant and takes its
place as an equal among all
other rituals of the sort which I
and others find offensive. I hope
that in the future editors of The
Profile will be more careful in
"editing" while still providing a
viable medium for the free
exchange of ideas at Agnes
Scott.

Now concerning a remark
made by Ms. Dorsey, Ms. Dillard
and Ms. Ellington in the
February 2nd issue of The
Profile, I would like to make a
correction. Contrary to remarks
made by these three, Dixie was
not written by a Black man
unless by "Black man" they
mean a White man in blackface.
Indeed, its author was a "Negro
minstrel" but perhaps this term
caused some confusion. The
Negro minstrels were not Black
men but White men so called

because they amused White
audiences by imitating the
"idiotic" Negro while wearing
black make. - up on their faces.
My better judgment urges me to
put all sarcasm aside and say
simply that this mistake is just
another indication of how little
we really kr)ow about each other
and how much we have het to
learn.

Finally, I would like to say a
fewwords about my article. I am
not launching a personal
vendetta; thus "cute" and
sarcastic responses don't move
me to reply. I am, however,
concerned about the campus
community as a whole and this
has been a constant concern
throughout these past weeks.
The problems that I cite are not
unique to Agnes Scott. Black
students throughout the states
and especially in Southern
institutions are constantly being
told to assimilate, to mix, to be
social, but when they try, often
they are met head - on by "Dixie"
and Confederate flags. While
these rituals are innocent to
some, they bug the hell out of
others, and as long as they
persist they will continue to
remain stumbling blocks in ef-
forts towards friendships and
understanding.

The problem, then, is not so
much history or the past as it is
the present. We are expected to
mix, but we can't because of
such rituals. As more Black
students come to ASC, I hope the
campus will keep this in mind.
This is not the end of the issue,
and the next person who brings
it up, whenever, may not be as
tactful as I have tried to be

Black History Month
to Be Celebrated

by Peggy Davis

February has been designated
Black History month and the
Students for Black Awareness
will sponsor a library exhibit,
"American History - A Closer
Look;" a campus discussion,
"Saying Sister and Meaning It -
Race Relations at Agnes Scott;"
and a program of readings and
music, "Creations In Ebony."

The library exhibit will change
weekly to feature Black in-
dividuals who have made con-
tributions to the American

culture in these areas: drama,
dance, music, and art (February
7-14); science and politics
(February 14-21 );and literature
(February 21 - 28).

The topic "Saying Sister and
Meaning rt - Race Relations at
Agnes Scott" will be discussed
by the campus on Sunday,
February 11, at 8:15 p.m. in
Maclean.

As a culmination of the mon-
th's activities, "Creations in
Ebony" will be presented Sun-
day, February 22 at 6:00 in

Maclean. Music, including
Negro spirituals, will be provided
by the Gordon High School
chorus. The Black Scott students
will perform dramatic readings,
comedy, as well as profiles on
topics ranging from particular
Black individuals to general at-
tributes of the Black culture. A
reception in Rebekah will follow.
SBA invites everyone to attend
and to share in the celebration.
Persons seeking more in-
formation should contact

The PrezSez: Dead Days

Due to obvious stares and dis-
satisfactory comments made by
some students, I feel it is neces-
sary to defend my position as
SGA president and explain why
certain comments were made in
my article in the February 2
edition of The Profile. Although
the article referred to some
students as being irresponsible
when asking for extensions, it
should be noted that, in noway,
whatsoever, was I referring to a
specific student, a specific
group, or a specific professor.
My role as SGA president is to
serve as a liaison between the
student body, administration,
and faculty. In regard to my
article, this means that I am res-
ponsible for letting every student
be aware of the reasons why two
dead days will not pass the
Faculty this year.

Despite popular opinion,
procrastination is one of the ma-
jor factors why the student body
will not be able to have two dead

days. Now, if a student procras-
tinates (especially when her
work is due on Reading Day), the
entire student body is entitled to
know that procrastination was a
key issue in "killing" two dead
days. Not once did I reveal who
procrastinated or which profes-
sors allowed for the procras-
tination to occur. In effect, I was
merely relaying what I know
about the dead days issue to the
student body. Can you blame
me? If a forma I apology is needed
to pacify certain students,
groups, or professors, then I am
truly sorry because the intent of
my article was not to single any
one person out of the massesl
In regard to the "dead day" is-
sue, many professors feel that
the entire work of the quarter is
cumulative and that it is
particularly important to stress
the work done in the final week
before examinations. So you
see, procrastination was not the
only key element in the issuel

However, if procrastination con-
tinues, the "dead days" issue
will never be passed by the
Faculty.

I could continue with student
body pros and cons and Faculty
pros and cons. However, I am
personally tired of fighting a los-
ing battle and bearing the brunt
of all student criticism.

On to a brigher topicl I know
everyone is wondering where
the carpet isl Well - there
happens to be a shortage of
petroleum. Nylon is derived from
petroleum and nylon is a major
source and component of carpet.
I was informed last week that the
carpet should be here by the end
of February. Shaw Industries is
making another type of carpet
for us - so keep your fingers
crossedl

Have a good quarter and thank
goodness elections are only 4
more weeks awayl

Washington Semester Participant Reminisces

by Elisabeth Smith

Burlette Carter said she had
wanted to go on Washington
Semester ever since she came to
Agnes Scott and last fall she was
able to go. She won a Truman
Scholarship and was able to use
some of the money for
Washington Semester. She had
an incredible time and gained
some valuable experience while
in Washington, she said.

She spent seven months in
Washington, from June to
December. During the summer
she worked at the Farmers
Home Administration, a job she
got through the Career Planning
Office on the Federal Internship
Program. At first she just
answered the telephone but
then a chance came up for
another job. She served as a
liason between the state and
federal government to review
state management plans. She
coordinated all the reviews,
working on the schedules and
lining up rooms. About 400
plans came in from the states
and territories and she made a
library of those plans. She said
that the job was hard work but
good experience.

She lived at the International
Student House during the
summer. There were only ten
American students and fifty
foreigns, including several
Iranians. Burlette was the first
black American to stay there and
the only black female there at
the time. She was also the only
undergraduate there. She made
many friends and said she had
good experiences at the Student
House. She said she learned to

"look at things a different way"
by meeting so many different
people.

When the semester began,
Burlette moved onto the campus
of American University. She said
the program there was
"terrific". On Monday through
Wednesday, the students visited
senators, lobby groups and
government departments. They
were able to ask a lot of ques-
tions and held informal classes
between visits. During the
semester they were asked to
read ten books and write six
papers.

On Thursday and Friday,
Burlette did an internship with
Senator Ernest Hollingsof South
Carolina. She was the only
intern in the legislative sections.
She worked with constituent
mail, went to the floor of
Congress a few times and did
research. In doing the research,
she discovered that she could
call anywhere to get the needed
information. For example, she
made calls to "60 Minutes," the
White House and a national
television network. She was in-
vited to go to a class for the
Senatorial staff at Fort McNair,
where there were meetings on
the Senate budget system and
how to handle the press, among
other things. She said that she
was glad to get the chance to go
because interns do not usually
get to attend these meetings.
One of the most interesting
things she did was to have
dinner with lobbyists twice and
hear the kind of conversation
that occurs at such dinners. She
said that she learned things dur-

ing the internship that she could
not have learned anywhere else.
She learned a lot about howthe
government really works. She
said, "Books don't tell you how it
goes in Washington, "You learn
how it really interacts and how
personalities come in."

Burlette was in Washington
during an exciting period of time
in America. For one thing, there
was the Presidential election.
On election night there was a
party at the Senator's office.
There were three television sets
to show each network. She said
of the election, "We expected it
to be much longer than it was."
After the results were in "people
who had lost their jobs cried in
the corridors" and even wore
black arm bands. It was a sad
time and the whole city was
"hushed."

Burlette was also there during
the hostage crisis. During the
summer there were
demonstrations just a few blocks
from the Student House. She
also had several Iranians friends
at the university. She said that
having these friends helped here
learn to look at things in more
than one way. Some of the
Iranians felt their course was
just, she said, but many were
just concerned about how their
friends felt about them.

She also worked some on the
Thornwell case since Thornwell
is from South Carolina. She was
in Washington when he was
awarded damages at the end of
the case.

While in Washington, Burlette
got to see a lot of exciting places,
events and people. She met Bob

Bergland, the Secretary of
Agriculture under Carter. She
was invited to the home of
Changing Times magazine, who
was on the Board of Trustees at
the International Student
House. She met Senator Joe
Biden of Delaware. She went to
the Office of the Press Secretary
and met Jody Powell. She also
met Roger Pierpoint of CBS,
Senator Howard Baker, Algier
Hiss, Andrew Young and
Senator Hollings' wife. She
went to the FCC, the Office of
Management and Budget, the
FLCIO, the Supreme Court and
several committee hearings.

She saw Mikkail Baryshnikor at
Kennedy Center, a production of
Sweeny Todd and a production
of Hair.

Burlette said she broadened
her perspective a lot while in
Washington, but she did not see
only good things about the
world. She learned to have more
faith in the government but less
faith in people in general,
although she did meet many
very nice people. She said she
got the most out of learning how
the government really works. Of
the Washington Semester,
Burlette says, "I definitely
recommend it . . . It's incredible!"

Volunteers Needed at Shelter for Battered Women

by Julie Babb

"Do not merely look out for
your own personal interests, but
also for the interests of others"
Philippians 2:4. Although it is
difficult to pull oneself away
from reading and studying,

several A.S.C. have committed
themselves to working at the
Shelter for Battered Women.
The shelter is a service of the
Council for Battered Women, a
non - profit organization, that
provides council for battered
wives. If a woman and her
children have no place to go,

they may stay at the shelter for
up to four weeks while she
makes plans for their future.
Although it is hardly luxurious,
the shelter is a fairly large and
adequate home.

The children's program has a
full time co - ordinator, who also

counsels mothers. Volunteers
go for one afternoon a week to
spend time with the children.
Often the children have been
neglected or abused, and they
need love and attention.

The Council is partly funded by
the United Way, DeKalb, and

Fulton Counties and other
organizations, though they rely
on private sources for most of
their funding. Perhaps Agnes
Scott would be interested in
helping to further these services
for hundreds of Atlanta women
through donations or a sacrifice
of time for the children.

Competition Continued from page 4

One of the best components of
the film was the musical
performances, which were pre -
recorded by six of the nation's
most notable pianists, including
Daniel Pallock and Chet wiat-
kowski. However, concert
pianist Jean Evanson Shaw
coached the cast in skills such as
fingering, pedaling, posture, and
arm - wrist - coordination, and
there were many full shots and

close - ups of the actors at the
piano, which added to the film's
authenticity. Musical highlights
included Concerto #5 in E Flat
Major, Opus 73, 'The Emperor"
by Beethoven (Dreyfuss), and
Piano Concerto #3 in C Major,
Opus 26 by Prokafieu (Irving).

This movie deals with the very
perplexing and contemporary
difficulties that occur when

career rivalry between men and
women becomes more direct.
The theme could easily focus on
almost any profession. But, the
movie is still a love story, and as
well - made love story at that.

So, if those winter quarter
blues are creeping in, chase
them away with an afternoon
with Richard Dreyfuss and Amy
Irving in The Competition.

CPO Corner: Los Ninos

Over the last 5 years, a total of
500 walkers, including over 200
university students, have
trudged 250 miles from Santa
Barbara, California, to Tijuana,
Mexico, on the Tortilla
Marathon. The annual foot-
bruising 10 day Marathon is a
fund and consciousness-raising
venture held in late June that
supports Los Ninos (The
Children), a non-profit,
international program that
works among poor children who
live onthe U.S. -Mexican Border.

On June 19, 1981, the sixth
annual Marathon will leave
Santa Barbara with 250
walkers, but this time there will
be a major difference - 50
walkers will not be returning.
When the last mile is walked on
the 10th day, 50 of the walkers
will remain at the border - for 2
years - to participate in a project
aimed at alleviating the misery
suffered by an estimated 200,-
000 ninos who live along the 2,-
000 mile border stretching from
Tijuana on the Pacific Ocean to

Matamoros on the Gulf of
Mexico. The project is called the
Border Development Project and
its initial goal is the es-
tablishment of 10 operation
centers, called Justice Houses,
along the entire border.

The houses are needed to res-
pond to a crisis, according to Los
Ninos director Paul Weiss.
Weiss states that, "In Tijuana
alone, hundreds of children die
of starvation every year less than
5 miles from the city limits of
San Diego. These children suffer
from a severe lack of food, they
are sheltered in miserable
shacks infested with rodents
and parasites, and they have ab-
solutely no access to medical
care. Many children are in jail
and those who are mentally ill
are often chained at home to
protect themselves and other
family members." Weiss des-
cribed the situation as scan-
dalous, "in light of the great
abundance of life-sustaining
resources in nearby United
States as well as in oil and

agriculturally rich Mexico."

Los Ninos coordinates the
work of almost 2,000 volunteers
annually in conducting weekend
schools, providing 4 tons of food
monthly, teaching people to
grow food and livestock, provid-
ing medical resources, and a
host of other services intended
to interrupt the cycle of poverty
that destroys so many lives. 40%
of the volunteers are college
students. In addition to providing
weekend and vacation op-
portunities for volunteer
Americans and Mexicans to
become involved with the poor,
the organization conducts
educational seminars and
workshops on justice issues for
its volunteer workforce.

The 7 year old interfaith
organization, based in Santa
Barbara, is now seeking 50
people to work in the Border
Development Project. Can-
didates are being recruited
throughout the United States
with a special appeal being
generated to over 2,000

university campuses. In-
dividuals selected for the Project
will make a 2 year commitment,
provide or raise support of at
least $100 monthly (for room
and board), bring a special skill
like nursing or carpentry or com-
munity organization that will
benefit children, be willing to
live simply in a community, be
physically fit and, finally,
possess the conviction that they
can change the world.

Participants in the program
will attend a 90 day training
institute beginning April 1,
1981, at Rancho Justicia (Jus-
tice Ranch), the San Diego
border headquarters for Los
Ninos which is located in the
United States, one mile north of
the international line at Tijuana.
Training will include 3 hours of
daily Spanish study as well as
training in every aspect of the
Los Ninos program. Participants
will also share their own gifts
during the institute and a dozen
outstanding visiting faculty
members from Mexico and the

United States will share their
visions of change with the
group.

Duringthe institute, tenteams
of 5 members each will be
selected. Following the Tortilla
Marathon and after a day of rest,
the institute will conclude with

As the heroine of Thomas
Hardy's epic novel 'Tess of the
d'Urbervilles," she is perhaps
the most famous fallen woman
of Victorian literature. The
daughter of a poor, drunken
farmer - who discovers by ac-
cident that he is of noble descent
- she is sent to sponge off a
family of phony, rich "relatives."

There, she is seduced by a
suave and darkly handsome
cousin whose charms veil his
more sinister nature. She bears
a bastard son who dies when

the Hub from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. The results will be an-
nounced at the Hub Party at
10:00 that night.

If there are any questions,
contact any officer or member of
Rep Council, or drop your ques-
tions in Box 293, or refer to
pages 76 to 80 in the Agnes
Scott College Handbook - also
refer to the changes that
concern this area of the
handbook. These are posted on
the Rep Bulletin Board. Please
make a special note on your
calendar of all these deadlines
and election-related activities.
Together, we can make this a
great election year.

still an infant. But in morally
rigid Victorian England, she can-
not bury it in hallowed ground -
nor can she bury her past.

Apprenticed to a dairy farmer,
she meets and marries a
minister's rebellious, but
ultimately moralistic, son . . .
confesses all on their wedding
night . . . becomes a pitiful field
hand . . . returns to herfirst lover
as his mistress . . . and finally
vents her repressed fury and
cleanses herself of her past in a
single act of murder.

'Tess of the d'Urbervilles"
was as accurate in its portrait of
the injustice and hypocrisy of
English country life as Charles
Dickens - in the London slums
and almshouses of "Great
Expectations" and "Oliver
Twist." v

And Polanski's film is faithful
throughout to Hardy's pas-
sionate masterpiece - aided by
the beguiling presence of Nas-
tassia Kinski. Her sloe - eyed,
sensua I look is the kind of beauty
that invites comparisons with
other dazzling debuts . . .
Bergman, Garbo, the young
Bacall and Audrey Hepburn.

Equally beautiful are the
images which Polanski has
packed into 'Tess." Individual
scenes are mounted like
priceless paintings, which
suddenly, magically burst with
life.

Finally . : . and not the least of
"Tess's" treasures ... is its im-
pact today. 'Tess" seems as
personal and immediate today,
and as timely as the day 'Tess of
the d'Urbervilles" was written.

Versatility Describes Kim

Versatility is the word to use
when describing Kim Lenoir.
This is obvious when one looks
at the many athletic interests
she is pursuing in her senior
year at Scott. Presently Kim is
preparing for the Dolphin Club's
annual show for Sophomore
Parents weekend. She practices
three times a weekend on the
three numbers she will perform.
Synchronized swimming was
something newto Kim when she
arrived at Agnes Scott four years
ago, but she quickly picked up
the basics. During herfouryears
as a Dolphin Club member, she
has been building up her
repetoire and adding finesse to

her performances. Kim stated
that Miss Manuel is "a
wonderful coach and sponsor"
and that this year's show should
be a good one.

The tennis team received a
pleasant surprise this fall when
Kim joined the team after a two
year absence from the courts.
Although Kim played the
number five position her
freshman year, she decided not
to play during her sophomore
and junior years for various
reasons. This fall, she playedthe
number four position to perfec-
tion, winning all her matches.
Her game is an aggressive one,
as her strategy - "go for the

points" - and her goal of master-
ing the serve and volley game in-
dicate. Because of her fondness
for net play, Kim also loves
doubles and hopes that she and
partner Merideth Manning will
be a winning combination. In
singles play, Kim believes that
she could play a higher position,
but would prefer to remain in a
spot where winning is a regular
occurrence. With her
determination and fine game,
this could be as high as the
number one position on the
Scottie team, although Kim
would never admit it. As far as
her mental attitude goes, Kim
used to get mad and frustrated;
now, she simply bites her racket,

which is her way of releasing
tension without her opponent
knowing it.

Besides being an active
member of Dolphin Club and the
tennis team, as well as a Dana
Scholar, Kim serves as vice -
president of the Athletic As-
sociation and in her spare time -
after 6 assorted practices,
several meetings and the
everpresent school work - leads
the Tuesday night exercise
class. Always versatile, she is
completing the requ irements for
her double major in economics
and biology and hopes to either
go to medical school or work as
an engineer after graduation.

Dolphin Club Show A Success

The Calendar Girls proved to
be an entertaining and
diversified synchronized swim-
ming show during Parent's
Week-end. For some Dolphin
Club members it was their last
and fourth production, for others
it was a first. However, it was
very entertaining for parents and
students.

The show began with
February and Valentine's Day.
The red swim suits and big silver
hearts in this duet by Melanie
Miller and Anne Luke
(choreographer) depicted that
special day. The red swim suits
were followed by green and
"Classical Gas" turned into an

Irish folk song to celebrate that
luck of the Irish - St. Patrick's
Day. Summer Smisson was
choreographer with Kim Lenoir,
Barbara Patton, Lynn
Stonecypher, and Merry Winter
swimming. Festival music
followed and/out came two
clowns (Sue Connor
choreographer, and Diane
Rickett). After having fun with
the audience, the clowns notice
a lost tourist who they begin to
play tricks on.

May - June brings up
graduation. This number was
choreographed by Barbara Pat-
ton. Anne Luke, Melanie Miller,
and Lydia Reasor Swim to

Basketball
Intramurals

The Juniors beat the Seniors
last Tuesday night by a score of
1 8 to 17. Nancy Asman was the
high scorer for the Juniors with
12 poi nts, f ol lowed by
Meredith Manning with 4 and
Marjory Sinewright with 2. For
the seniors, Linda Wimberly was
the high scorer with 8, followed
by Ma ry Beth Du Bose with 6 and
Kim Lenoir with 3.

In the second game the
sophomores defeated the
freshmen by a score of 32 to 1 8.
Mary Lee Taylor was the high
scorer with 1 6, followed by Amy
Potts with 8 and Becky Moorer
with 6. Hayley Waters was the
high scorer for the freshmen
with 14 points, followed by Julie
Norton with 4.

Runner's Corner

Overuse Signals

There are some mild but
definite symptoms to look for it
you feel you are pushing
yourself to run just a little too
much. Such symptoms include,
persistent leg soreness, lowered
general resistance to ill health,
lack of motivation, poor
coordination and lack of
sprighthness, and sluggishness

or heavy - leggedness following
a workout.

Observe these signals and
retreat to slower/ gentle run-
ning. It is important to keep a
good flexible mental attitude
toward running with no rigid
schedule youfeelyou must com-
plete, or else.

"Pomp and Circumstance." The
musicturned into "Summertime
Calling Me" for the months of
August/ September. This was
choreographed by Melanie
Miller. Mary Ebinger, Kathleen
McCuniff, Lynn Stonecypher,
and Karla Sefcik began the
number shagging followed by a
well executed performance.

One of the highlights of the
show was Lydia Reasor's
skeleton solo to "Dry Bones".
This was a spirited October

theme. A black light was used
which created great illusion.

November was
choreographed by Karla Sefcik
and was a very serene number
which starred Karla Sefcik, Sue
Connor, and Kappie Wilkes.

December was the finale
which involved everyone. This
was highlighted by lit candles
and flourescent suits. A variety
of formations were executed to
Christmas tunes.

This performance of The
Calendar Girls was a big

success. Special thanks go to
Ms. Manuel who sponsors
Dolphin Club and has devoted
much time to this production.
Also thanks go to Mary Winter
for the creative backdrops, Lucy
Kimsey, Colleen Flaxington,
Marty Wooldridge and Jenny
Howell for help with the lights.
Another thanks to Summer
Smisson who put the music
together.

Social Council and Dean's Office Preside
at Mandatory Meeting With Students

A mandatory meeting for all
students except RTCs was held
Wednesday, February 4 to dis-
cuss campus safety and Social
Council's decision to dis-
continue TGIF parties.

Dean Kirkland requested
students to be more cautious
while jogging, especially at
night, preferably by running in
groups. She also announced
that ASC security officers would
be increasing their "wat-

chfulness" of male visitors on
campus, and visitors will be
asked to state their business on
campus more frequently. As
further precautions, students
are asked notto study or practice
alone in Presser or Campbell
Halls at night. Everyone was
reminded that Security will es-
cort studentsf rom parking lots at
night whenever requested.

Dean Kirkland 's second an-
nouncement was the

cancellation of future TGIF
parties due to series of problems
with student behavior. At past
TGIFs people have left graffiti in
the Hub, stolen a keg tap, taken
beer out of the designated drin-
king location, stood on tables
and wantonly gulped beer. Dean
Kirkland explained that the on-
campus drinking policy was
adopted with the understanding
that students would drink res-
ponsibly. At the last TGIF

security was needed to break up
a fight between two guests, and
Dean Kirkland and security
broke up the party early.

Since it is apparent that
students at TGIFs are not behav-
ing responsibly, but are im-
posing on Dean Kirkland and
Security officers instead, TGIFs
will be discontinued.

Members of Social Council
also reported tnat they had

received many complaints about
TGIFs in the past, especially
about running out of beer before
the end of the party. In the dis-
cussion that followed, members
of Social Council and of the
Student body offered sugges-
tions for controlling TGIFs in
various ways. As it stands now,
the decision is for Social Council
to stop TGIFs but still to continue
sponsoring off-campus social
activities.

Million Dollar Fund Meeting the Challenge

by Talley K. Wannamaker

On July 1 , 1979, Agnes Scott
College was challenged by the
National Endowment for the
Humanities to raise $750,000 in
three years in order to receive a
grant of $250,000from the NEH.
Filled with hopeful excitement
over the great benefits that
would be made possible through
the grant, Agnes Scott set its
own challenge deadline of
February 25, Founder's Day,
1 981 . It was thought that 1 00%
participation by the campus
community would send an im-
portant message - "we care" -to
the NEH; therefore, a committee
was organized by Mortar Board
in the fall of 1980 to plan a cam-
pus fund drive. Composed of Mr.
McCain, chairperson of the
Million Dollar Dund; Sarah
Campbell, chairperson of the
Million Dollar Fund; Terri Wong,
Peggy Davis, Lisa Pendergrast
and Mary Ellen Huchabee, the
senior, junior, sophomore, and
freshman class chairpersons,
respectively, and other Mortar
Board members, the sterring
committee invented the button
slogan, "I'm in on the Million,"
publicized the drive by putting
letters in post office boxes; pos-
ting signs; and making an-
nouncements at class meetings;
and planned the Italian kick - off
dinner given on January 14,
1981. Classes, it was decided,
would compete in terms of the
percent of participation, not
number of dollars, and
thermometers were hung in the
dining hall to display the sup-

portive progress of each class.
The committee worked diligently
in order to make the 1 0-day fund
drive a success, and Mr. McCain
in added a special touch by giv-
ing each donator an ASC car
sticker.

Throughout the student body,
enthusiasm ran high. During the
kick - off dinner, over 50% of the
student body contributed to the
fund. Although most student
pledges were one dollar, others
were as high as $50, $60, and
$100 each. For their class gift,
the generous seniors decided to
pledge $25 apiece to the Million
Dollar Challenge Fund. All
participants looked forward to
the Mortar Board 'Thank You"
Party, to the campus ball
promised by President Perry to ,
be given when the goal of 100%
participation was reached, and
to that final moment of success -
the moment when 100%
participation was achieved.

However, the goal was not
reached in the allotted time so
the fund drive period was
extended through February 4,
1981. By February 4, the
Student Government As-
sociation had added $250 to the
growing money pot; the
freshman class, $1 00. Over 89%
of the senior class, 85% of the
junior class, 70% of the
Sophomore class, and 65% of
the freshman class had pledged
money from their own pockets.
To all who volunteered their
money and/or time to become
part of this significant event,
thank you.

body chose notto participate and
their reasons for lack of
participation varied. Some
students said that they could not
afford to give one dollar; some
claimed that they did not ap-
prove of the NEH because it was
a government agency, and
others stated that they wou Id not
pledge money to a school which
had not given them the financial
aid for which they had applied.
This final excuse, I find
particularly annoying. After all,
no student at Agnes Scott,
whether a resident or a non-
resident, bears the entire
expense for her educational
program. NO student pays even
half of the total cost. Is it
humanly possible to rake up the
many benefits made available by
a substantial endowment
without recognizing the
unselfish benevolence of the
College's supporters outside of

the campus community? Can
one honestly ignore the im-
portance of the humanities in a
liberal arts education? The cam-
pus fund drive requested no
more than the pledge of one
dollar. For the intellectual
growth and personal
experiences which Agnes Scott
students both suffer and savor

during their college years, the
spirit which would have been
demonstrated by 100%
participation was not a huge
price to ask. As Sarah Campbell
stated, "I would never take away
(my Agnes Scott) experiences of
leadership, friendship, and
academic stimulation. It's a
bargain." So it is.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

This letter is in response to the
past two "Prez Sez" columns.
Laura Klettner did not owe an
apology to the student body for
pointing out a truism: when
papers are due at the end of the
quarter students do tend to
procrastinate. Unless students
act more responsibly the intense
pressure built from procras-
tination would not be alleviated
with two dead days, instead,
procrastination would be

greater. If students did not
procrastinate, the dead days
could be utilized as review (not
cramming) time and as a time to
rest before taking the finals that
measurably affect quarter
grades

The "dead days" issue has
been addressed for three
quarters. SGA could have
dropped the issue after the
faculty vote. Instead Laura has
attempted to spoon feed us by in-
dicating the action required of

students in order to reach the
final goal of two dead days. SGA
should be commended for its
dedication to this issue. With the
inclusion of a break day each
quarter and the elimination of
scheduling on reading day next
year, it is clear that the faculty is
concerned about academic pres-
sure. These first two steps are
giant steps toward the ultimate
goal of a longer reading period.

New Service in Health Center

Effective immediately, throat
cultures to detect "strep throat"
will be performed on campus.
The addition of new equipment
and procedures makes it pos-
sible for cultures to be monitored
in the Health Center, thereby

reducing the cost to students
and shortening the amount of
time required to determine
whether antibiotoic therapy is
necessary

With the new procedure, the
cost for throat cultures will be

$5.00. Billing will be handled
through the College Accounting
Office.

If you have any questions
about the change, please feel
free to call or come by.

Surrealistic Staging of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Within each noble soul lies a hedonist craving escape. For Dr.
Jekyll (Anthony Newfield-L.) it's Hyde (Jack Hoffman-R.)

Black bars surround the stage.
Suggestions of Victorian realism
appear nowandthen in a table, a
laboratory stand, or a fainting
sofa. The time is late 19th cen-
tury. The place, London, England.
The setting evolves from the
thoughts of one Dr. Henry Jekyll.
Confined by Victorian morals,
Jekyll seeks release of his
forbidden emotions and desires.
He finds his release, and with it,
Mr. Hyde.

This retelling of the Robert
Louis Stevenson classic is
performed in a way that has
never been seen before.

inherent in us all. There is not

Essential Animation

In Sara Petty's Furies, a
delightful pastel animation of
cats and abstractions, film can
be appreciated as a purely visual
event, closer to music and paint-
ing than drama. With this ap-
proach in mind, the award - win-
ning filmmaker will present two
programs of Essential
Animation at IMAGE Film/
Video Center. Abstract and non -
narrative in nature, most of the
films have been produced since
1970, although each program
opens with the works of such
early pioneers as Len Lye, Harry
Smith, Douglas Crockwell and

Oscar Fischinger - the original
force behind Fantasia. The first
program, presented February
19 and 20 at 8 p.m. includes
Fischinger's original black and
white charcoal studies and his
colorful Composition in Blue as
well as the ethereal, mystical
Music of the Spheres by
contemporary filmmaker Jordan
Belson. The second program,
presented February 16 and 17
at 8 p.m., includes two rarely
seen films: Fischinger's Wax
Experiments of 1926, in which
the camera records changing
cross - sections of wax in

abstract movement and
Malevitch Constructivism a

British animation of pre - 1920
drawings by Russian construc-
tivist painter Kasimir Malevitch.

Other films continue the
contemporary heritage of
abstract animation ranging from
the frankly experimental to
formal and elegantly planned
compositions using hand drawn
imagery, wood construction and
one film done entirely with
Avery labels. For more in-
formation contact IMAGE 874-

Student Attends Recent
Carter Homecoming

Surrounded by Billy, Sybil,
Marie, Rosalyn, and ex-
President Jimmy Carter, and
Tom T. Hall, Fran Ivey, freshman
at Agnes Scott, attended a
welcome home party for Jimmy
Carter. Fran had front rowseats.
Billy Carter's daughter, Marie,
whom Fran had met through
the 4H Club, arranged for her
best friend to attend a special
celebration of the Carter family.

The party progressed doubting
the ex-President's arrival
because of the urgency of his trip
to Germany concerning the hos-
tage release. Meanwhile,
entertainment was provided by
Nashville's country band, the
"Storytellers," led by Tom T.
Hall, an international singer.
When Jimmy Carter finally
arrived, Mr. Hall's fiddler struck

up his rendition of "Dixie" in
honor of the ex-President. Two
poets read their workd honoring
Jimmy Carter.

After meeting family, friends,
and Georgia legislators, Marie
Carter introduced Fran to her
uncle. Fran told Jimmy Carter of
the prayers ASC students had
for the hostages. Lacking three
days of sleep, and one day of
meals, Mr. Carter responded
with a large hug I The night - long
party which followed went on
while Jimmy Carter slept in the
comfort and security of his own
home before his 6:30 am
departure for Germany.

Fran's experiences with the
Carter family revealed to her the

rough world of politics. She
followed Marie through a
summer of slander and trial
concerning Billy's involvement
with Libya, and she has eaten
lunch with friendly, polite
reporters, who turn into
werewolves while on camera.
Balancing the line of loyalty
between her Carter friendship
and her own beliefs proves to be
difficult, so Fran says she
usually stays away from most
political issues.

But politics was not part of this
event. Worried about missing
classes, Fran got written
excuses from "Mr. Billy" and
Tom T. What teacher could have
refused these? Fran's comment
about her excursion was, "I sure
am glad I skipped classes!"

Organ in Gaines Being Repaired

by Colleen O'Neill

Work is going on in Gaines
Chapel to repair the organ which
has been standing there since
1940. The organ has had many
problems. Until last year, the
roof in Presser had been leaking
and direct water seepage had
caused damage, other causes
included pollution and time. The
organ pipes had needed clean-
ing for a long while. The
workman doing the restoration
had found squirrels' nuts and
the skeleton of a rat in the organ
chamber. Due to water damage
the plaster from the ceiling had
fallen and walls had crumbled.
Mr. Philip Swartz, the
Southeastern representative for
Austin Organs Inc., the makers
of the instrument, blames
"excessive heat and dryness" in
the auditorium for compounding
the problem. In early September
of 1 979 a leather "blowout" oc-
curred on the right side of the
organ where the regulator, or
reservoir, furnishes the neces-

sary wind supply. The organ had
not been played since.

Because of extensive damage,
the future had looked dismal for
the organ. But, at a cost of $75,-
000 and with the aid of the Aus-
tin corporation, Raymond J.
Martin, Professor of Music, and
College Organist, said he hopes
to have the instrument at least
partially renovated and playing
by commencement. A new
organ would have cost $200,-
000. In 1940 the original was
only $15,400. Mr. Swartz who is
in charge of the restoration says
that the work involves replacing
the 1500 actions (magnets and
leathers) of the organ, cleaning
the chamber and the 4000 pipes.

The organ, which now suffers
from what President Perry calls
"organic emphysema", was for
several years the largest organ
in the area and according to
Professor Martin, it "was the
instrument on which recitals
were played by many artists, in-

cluding Virgil Fox, Marcel Dupre,
and E. Power Briggs. The organ
has played an important role at
Agnes Scott chapel services,
convocations, and official
ceremonial events for almost
forty years; generations of music
students have received organ
training on that instrument. It
hasserved us well. "Agnes Scott
has had such a fine organ
because of Dr. McCain's "un-
canny way of getting money
from the right people."

The alumnae, led by the Class
of '80, have been most helpful in
paying part of the cost of res-
toring the organ which the
freshmen have never heard.
Last year's seniors, the only
class since 1940 to graduate
without the organ's music, made
the restoration a class project.
As their class gift, each senior
made a two - year pledge to the
Organ Fund. Any donations to
the fund can be made through
the Developing Office

Update on Toxic Shock Syndrome

by Marcia Whetsel

The Center for Disease Con-
trol claimed last September that
the risk of toxic shock syndrome
(TSS), a rare but sometimes fatal
bacteria - related disorder that
usually strikes menstruating
women, might be heightened by
the use of tampons, particularly
the Rely brand from Proctor and
Gamble. Since that alert and the
prompt removal of Rely from the

market, the incidence of TSS has
dropped dramatically. The CDC
announced at the beginning of
February that the numberof new
cases in the U.S. reported each
month had declined from 106 in
September to 39 in December.

The new figures strengthen
but do not prove suspicions that
Rely was the leading cause of
TSS. Other tampon brands also

were implicated. The percentage
of menstruating women using
tampons exclusively has
dropped from 70% to 55%.
Although the apparent easing of
the TSS threat is welcome news,
scientists still have not pin -
pointed the exact cause of the
disorder

Mary Beth Hebert

Editor's Note: Mary Beth
Hebert is doing an internship
this quarter, not taking any
classes, and living in Main.

by Mary Beth Hebert

What's it like to live on campus
but not be a student? Well, after
eveyone I know (and then some)
asked me, I gave the matter
some serious thought.

To begin, I spend 75 % of my
time explaining to people what
it's like to live on campus and not
have to study. The other 25% -
well, have you ever heard the
theory that the amount of work
one must do will expand to meet
(or exceed) the time allotted for
it? It's true and I'm here to prove

it.

For one thing, I spend con-
siderable time doing all those
things we deprived students
neglect to indulge in. I read
magazines (cover to cover),
watch TV, do my nails
(regularly!), write letters (30 or
40 this quarter as opposed to
fall's 3), and talk. Boy, do I talk!
Watch out if you Ye busy and see
me coming. I'm not a fellow
suffering student who must, like
you, gossip quickly and head for
the library. I can talk for hours!

Actually, I'm not totally
decedent. I did study for my
GRE's. I've also been applying to
several law and grad. schools
(those dumb essays take time!).
I'm reading some books that I've
been going to read for years. I'm

even starting to study my French
(in prepa ration for next quarter).

I also have time for little
things. I sew on buttons when
they fall off. I iron hair ribbons
(heck, I iron everything). I
wallpapered part of my room.

Lastly, I spend hours feeling
guilty. I know I've worked my tail
off for this quarter (17/18 hrs.
per quarter for 3 years). I guess
it's hard to watch M # A*S*H
when your friends are studying.
Incidentally, 4th Main is a tough
place (for others) to live this
quarter - I'm driving them all
crazy (or to the library).

Well, folks - you'll have your
revenge. Spring quarter looks as
if it may be my roughest quarter
at ASC. It sure was fun while it
lasted, though!

Course Change Info for Spring Quarter

Course and section changes
for the spring quarter must be
made on Tuesday, February 24
and Wednesday, February 25.
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 con-
tinuing from the winter quarter
may do so on these two days.
Those students who have not

completed course cards for the
spring quarter must do soon one
of these two days.

The red-tag list will be posted
on the official bulletin board in
the Buttrick lobby prior to
February 24. Red-tagged
students must have errors
corrected or obtain required
signatures on February 24 and
25.

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 multi-section
year or two-quarter course for
which the student is already
registered, the student must
make the necessary section

changes on February 24 and 25.
No section changes can be made
during scheduling for courses
continuing from the winter
quarter.

Careful checking of course
cards and schedules can prevent
problems on scheduling day. Un-
corrected 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
13.

After February 25, no course
or section changes can be made
until the drop/add period during
the spring quarter (March 30 -
April 8). No changes will be
made on scheduling day, March
13. Textbooks for the winter
quarter will be ordered on the
basis of course enrollments as of
February 25.

Sophomore/Parents Weekend A Success

by Ann Connor

Juniors tolerate them.
Freshmen try to ignore them.
But obviously, some parents
adore them.

The sophomore class hosted
the annual parents weekend

Feb. 6 through the 8th. Out of
approximately one hundred
fifteen sophomores, at least
eighty-seven participated along
with the ir parents . The weekend
is designed to give parents an
opportunity to examine the

college and their daughters'
relationship to it.

Parents were able to attend
classes with their daughter on
Saturday and to explore the
campus when they wished.
Organized activities for the
parents' amusement included
the "Sophomore Feud," a slide
show, talent show, and a
performance by the Dolphin

Club. Astudent panel, luncheon,
tea dance and breakfast also
kept the parents busy. The tea
dance featured Agnes Scott's
own Mr. Leland Stave n and his
five piece combo.

Nancy Childers, sophomore
class president, commented,
"Everyone was able to enjoy the
weekend. So many people pit-
ched in that no one was left

burdened by the weekend res-
ponsibilities. Not only was
participation from the class
wonderfu I, others contributed to
make the weekend such a
success. For example, Aria
Redd, an Agnes Scott alumnae
who grows orchids, donated
arrangements for registration as
well as eighty-two individual
corsages."

"The Mechanics of Relaxation"

Taken from "Maximum Performance" by Morehouse and Gross

While mental and muscular
tension are interrelated, it's in
the muscles that the tension
state is manifested. That's
extremely fortunate, because
it's infinitely easier - for most of
us, at least -to relaxourmuscles
than our minds. In the process,
the mind becomes more quiet,
since relief of muscular agitation
removes some pressure from it.

There are four simple things to
do that will give you instant
relief: Pause.
Breathe.
Move.

Take a break.
Pausing changes the state
you're in. It assists you to erase
where you were and get ready to
start over again. It alters the
relationship between you and

what's bothering you. Preoc-
cupation with a problem locks
you into a process.

Breathing induces concen-
tration. You shift your focus to
your breathing and away from
bothersome things. Breathing a
little more deeply and a little
more slowly produces several
beneficial physiological
changes. First, a deep breath in-
creases the negative pressure in
your chest. This, in turn, helpsto
draw blood toward the heart
through the large veins. An in-
creased supply of blood in the
heart helps to maintain the pres-
sure of blood to your brain at the
very moment when other parts
of the body are competing forthe
blood. When your body prepares
to go into action, the blood

vessels supplying the muscles
that will move you to fight or run
away shift more blood into the
action area. The body does this
by squeezing the blood out of
your belly - digestion isn't im-
portant now - and driving it to the
muscle area where the vessels
are opened to receive it. A sign or
two will help move the blood
from your belly to your muscles
and your brain.

When you breathe, focus on
its four phases.

Feel yourself inhale

Feel yourself pause

Feel yourself exhale

Feel yourself pause again.

Next, practice belly breathing.
Sitting in a chair, put your hands
on your belly. As you inhale, note
whether your belly is rising or

falling. It should be rising, but it
often isn't because when we're
tense we harden the stomach
muscle as though in anticipation
of a blow. If your belly isn't rising
as you inhale, make a conscious
effort to change the pattern.
Continue monitoring your
breathing for at least a minute by
feeling the rise and fall of your
belly.

Movement of any kind further
reduces tension. Tapping the
foot unconsciously, yawning
and stretching, going through
the motions of swinging a club,
bat or racket; taking a walk; pac-
ing the floor - all these motorize
tension and help erase it.

Anything specific helps to
calm emotions. If you're nervous
about writing a paper, laying out

your supplies will help calm your
nerves. If you're in a match, the
way to combat the emotional
backwash of a bad shot is to
immediately rehearse a good
shot by taking a well-executed
practice swing.

The very bestthing you can do
when suddenly seized by ten-
sion is to take a break. Mentally,
and physically, if possible,
remove youself from the arena
that is causing your tension, so
that you avoid further impulses
that have locked you into a feed-
back situation. Ideally, you
would go to a quiet, comfortable
room where you could shut out
the noises and smells that
remind you of the arena. But
whether an oasis exists or not,
the break is the crucial thing.

The
Best
Diet

Is eating a high-protein, low
carbohydrate diet the easiest
way to lose unwanted pounds of
fat?

There seems to be increasing
evidence that the answer to this
question is NOI Most recently
animal studies have
demonstrated the following
results:

1 ) Animals that ate the high-
protein diet had an average of
nearly 23.9% of their body
weight in fat.

2) The low-protein group had
only 15.6% of its weight as fat.

3) The high-protein group
weighed 22% more than the low
protein group.

The typical American diet
provides 16.1% of calories as
protein, more than twice the
amount recommended for good
nutritional health.

If the animal studies have any
bearing on human obesity, they
suggest that the best way to lose
weight is to follow a diet low in
fat and protein and very high in
complex carbohydrates, such as
grains, vegetables and fruits.

Arms - relaxed, moving back

Fingers loosely cupped.

Breating - through nose and

Workers Honored

Eight Agnes Scott College
custodians were honored recen-
tly for their outstanding job
attendance during 1980.

Honored for the fourth
consecutive year for a perfect
attendance record was Eva M.
Lewis of Glendale Road,
Scottdale. Agnes Scott College
President Marvin B. Perry Jr.,
presented her with a letter of
congratulations from him and a
silver bowl.

Mrs. Lewis, who has worked
for Agnes Scott for almost 30
years, attributes her good health
to "eating a light meal at night
and getting my exercise by cut-
ting the grass and working in my
garden."

Two custodians were honored
for outstanding attendance of
less than one full day of absence
during 1980. They are Corrie

Cash of Oakview Road, Decatur,
and Lou Nell Ghee of Candler
Road, Atlanta. Lee Barclay,
Agnes Scott vice president for
business affa irs, presented each
of them with a letter of ap-
preciation from the college and
an Agnes Scott enameled pin.

Five custodians were
recognized for attendance
records of fewer than five days
absence. They are John Austin
who has worked at the college
for 34 years; Elizabeth Hawkins,
Vera Latimore, Rosa Phillips,
and Emma Lois Reese. They
each were presented a letter of
appreciation by Vaughan Black,
director of physical plant.

According to Al Osborn, cus-
todial superviser, this is the
fourth consecutive year that the
custodial services division has
held a ceremony to award em-
ployees for their job attendance.

Agnes Scott College custodians honored for their outstanding
attendance records during 1980 are (front, 1. to r.) Elizabeth
Hawkins and Rosa Phillips of Decatur and John Austin and Eva M .
Lewis of Scottdale; (back, I. to r.) Vera Latimore of Atlanta, Corrie
Cash and Emma Lois Reese of Decatur and Lou Nell Ghee of

Letters To The Editor/Letters From The Editor

To the Editor:

I was highly disappointed in
the way that Dean Kirkland han-
dled the mandatory convocation
on Wednesday, Feb. 11.1 was
under the impression that the
meeting would concern the is-
sues surrounding the
cancellation of the TGIF parties,
and listened to Dean Kirkland
laugh and joke her way through
a meeting on health and safety.
She conveniently managed to
avoid the publicized topic unto
the last minute when most
students had to leave for their
12:10's. A number of students
were taken in by her joking
manner and did not realize that
the Dean of Students avoided an
open discussion on a topic that
concerns everyone.

Also, neither she nor any of
the Social Council members
managed to give a straight
answer to the questions asking
what really happened at the last
party, and also why the student
body was not made aware of the
increasing problems at the
TGIF's. I feel that the student
body should be given the
answers to these questions,
with THE PROFILE'S help in
publishing them.
Sincerely,

A Concerned Student

To the Editor:

Two weeks ago when I was
writing my Paradise Lost

(English 21 1 ) paper, I thought I
had lost Paradise. It is not that I

expect a Garden of Eden en-
vironment in order to study, but I
certainly do not need concrete
evidence to describe the fire
images of hell. Temperatures
between 80 and 95 are not con-
ducive to studying. For a while I
thought it was spring quarter;
everyone in Hopkins has been
wearing shorts and T-shirts, and
the windows have all been open
since our return from winter
break.

Similar experiences have
been shared by other dormitory
residents. In fact, the
temperature control seems to be
a problem in most buildings in
campus. Many students find it
difficult to study in the library
because of the heat; they find
the same problem when they
return to their dormitory. Of
course it is difficult to maintain a
comfortable temperature range
in buildings that are large,
especially when outdoor
weather seems to change
constantly, however, more
attention needs to be given to
this problem. David Orr, guest
speaker at the Environmental
Symposium said that the money
spent on the renovation of But-
trick should have been directed
toward use of solar energy.
Perhaps this should be con-
sidered.

In regard to conservation, it
only makes sense to reduce the
temperature. In addition, many
students agree that they would
rather be coldthan hot. Difficulty
in studying, constant thirst, and

Dear Students:

It is a wonder that when we
discuss the Honor Code on cam-
pus we always cite references
like self - scheduled exams, take
- homes, and open doors to our
rooms showing the effec-
tiveness of the Code. But notice
how the Honor Code does not
extend to hall refrigerators or
mail boxes?

For example, last quarter
there was a sign posted in the
dining hall by Beth and Kelia
Shackleford saying that $10 had

been taken from a mailbox. And
there are always hall meetings
concerning the way that food
mysteriously disappears when it
is put in the refrigerator.

What really irks me though,
are the times when a special ef-
fort is made to give the whole
campus something and a few
people become greedy. I'm talk-
ing aboutthe Valentine lollipops
put in our boxes by the Spirit
Committee. Meg Miller and her
secret pals have worked hard to
do more things for the campus
than past Spirit Committees
have, and it is a shame that some
people are under - (or should I
say over - ?) appreciative. Many
people did not getthe Valentines
in their boxes because greedy
people were ripping them off.
(The Honor Code allows us to
leave oui^ boxes open,
remember?)

Why is it that the Honor Code
can work for "higher ideals''
such as tests, etc., but doesn't

work with the most basic of
wrongs such as petty theivery?
Aren't the young LADIES here
above that? Obviously not.
Remember that the Honor Code
is supposed to be high morals in
ALL aspects of life. Maybe some
students should read more
carefully the documents that
carry their signature and are
hanging in Buttrick.
Sincerely,
The Editor

To All Campus Members:

Cheer up! Spring Break isonly
four weeks away! (Of course,
there are exams between now
and then, butat least mid - terms
are out of the way.)The weather
is getting better - with a few
backslides along the way - and
good weather always improves
everyone's disposition. Hang in
there! It's not much longer!

The Prez Sez

As everyone is aware
(especially senior officers and
one junior editor), elections are
not far away! It is important that
the entire student body
participate in the pre - election
and election events. A prospec-
tive ballot is on the Rep Council
Bulletin Board in the mail room
Students who have been
nominated fora particular office,
but do not wish to run for that of-

fice, need to scratch their
name(s) off the ballot by
February 22. On Monday,
February 23, the Official ballot
will be posted on the Rep
Bulletin Board. Notices will be
sent out to all students asking
them to list in order of
preference the offices they are
running for!

A big thank - you goes to

Mortar Board forcounting all the
nominations, and to Jenny
Howell for organizing a smooth
running, anxiety - free election
year A special thanks goes to all
the students who participated in
popular nominations (only 224 1).

Get yourselves together, study
hard, and head to the beach,
Europe or Big Apple during Spr-
ing Break!

- - Shakespeare: The Globe And The World

by Marcia Whtesel and
Cameron Bennett

"Shakespeare: The Globe and
the World," a major travelling
exhibition from the Folger
Shakespeare Library in
Washington, D.C., recreates the
world of Shakespeare and traces
his continuing influence. The
High Museum of Art exhibit will
be in Atlanta from Feb. 7 until
April 26. It is open to the public
on Tues. - Fri. from noon to 5 pm,
Sat. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Sun. from noon to 5 p.m.

The exhibition features such
Folger treasures as the 1623
First Folio (the first printing in
one volume of the complete can-
non of Shakespeare's plays,
except for "Pericles"), the
personal Bible of Elizabeth I,

by Jane Zanca
Fort Apache, The Bronx is an

anti - violence campaigner's
nightmare that would make an
evening with the Boob Tube
seem pale and restful by com-
parison. The Grade B plot of this
bleak modern drama serves only
as a skeleton on which to hang a
series of blood and guts scenes.

The point of the movie seems
to be thatthe fight against crime
is a stab in the dark (if you'll
pardon the pun) effort with few
tangible rewards. Paul Newman
portrays an intelligent and sen-
sitive man who works in a world
gone mad. He is a skilled cop
who knows how to disa rm kn ife -
wielding madmen with so much
as unholstering his gun. He has
seen people trash themselves so
much that we could forgive him
if he became a cynic like
everyone else on the force - but
not our herol He retains his

King James' royal warrant for
the release of Sir Walter Raleigh
from the Tower of London, a rare
early printing of Chaucer's The
Canterbury Tales, published by
the first English printer, William
Caxton.

Highlights include a first
edition of the King James Bible,
published in London in 1611,
numerous watercolors and sket-
ches illustrating Elizabethan and
Jacobean life, and a copy of
Cicero which belonged to Henry
VIII as a boy, in which he wrote,
'This Book is mine. Prince
Henry."

In addition, the whole
romance of Shakespeare on the
stage, from his time to ours, is
evoked by a wide selection of
rare materials, including quartos

humanity in spite of all, ever so
kindly offering the young,
beautiful, addicted nurse he is
bedding a free supply of heroin
(courtesy of the Department's
private stash for stoolies) until
she is ready to kickthe habit. She
may be a junkie (only as a
substitute for the vacation in the
Bahamas that she can't afford
on a nurse's pay., she says) but
she is nevertheless a noble
person. She is grossly offended
to learn that Newman has
witnessed a brutal police crime
against an innocent bystander
and can't work up the courage to
turn in te perpetrator.

Ed Asner plays Lou Grant in a
police Captain's uniform, bungl-
ing his way into this zoo called
the Bronx. He applys the law as if
he can edit the criminals out by
deadline. While Asner incites
the neighborhood to riots, a
spaced - out nymphomaniac jun-

(early printed versions of the
plays), setdesigns and costumes
and the famous Adams model of
the Globe playhouse.

Also included in the exhibition
are important memorabelia,
which document the
performance history of six of
Shakespeare's play: Romeo and
Juliet A Midsummer Night's
Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth,
Julius Caesar and Henry V, in-
cluding film clips from important
film versions of the first three.

The tour marks the first time
thatthe Folger has permitted the
rare books, manuscripts, prints,
paintings, sculpture and cos-
tumes of its collection to be
shown outside of its building,
located one block away from the
Capitol.

domly chosen throats with a

ase you have trouble picturing
what this looks like/the camera
and sound effects departments
leave nothing to the
imagination.

Just so you don't get bored
with all the violence, there is a
sex sub - plot played out by a
John Travolta look - alike and his
sheltered, beautiful girlfriend.
Several people got up and left
the theater before finding out
whether she would give up her
virginity for a slice of pizza.
Maybe someone had told them
how it ended?

Now that I've told you the
whole grueling story, you can
stay home and spend your $4 on
something worthwhile. Not even
Paul Newman is worth this kind
of misery.

Library in Washington, erected
in 1932, was a gift to the

Ruby Tuesday's is a restaurant
and bar with an amiable at-
mosphere and delicious,
inexpensive food. Located in the
new expansion of Lenox Square,
Ruby Tuesday's offers a large (I
took ten minutes to read the
book - like menu) selection of
everything from glorified
burgers to steaks and quiches.
There are at least a dozen
varieties of everything and
something to fit every budget. I
had the French Onion soup
(baked with lots of cheese) and

building is undergoing extensive
renovation and modernization
making possible this travelling
exhibition of rare material.

The tour will continue for 23
months. After it leaves Atlanta, it
will go to New York, San Fran-
cisco, Kansas City, Pittsburgh
and Dallas.

by Penny Poush Wistrand

Located across the street from
Moe's and Joe's and George's,
this restaurant/ bar is only a few
months old. But, already, it
seems like quite a success.

The interior has an open,
modern look about it. There are
about 10 tables in the front of the
restaurant and a large table in
the rear for larger parties. They
have classical music playing in
the background which lends a
nice touch.

The menu includes hor
d'oeuvres such as chicken,
mushroom and pork pate, a
cheese board and soup (all
priced between $1.75 and
$3.75). The salad bar looks very
tempting each time I go but I'm
always swayed by something
else at the last moment. The
salad bar ($2.75) is placed
strategically in the middle of the
restaurant so you can get a good
look at everything before you
decide to indulge. It includes
mushrooms, sprouts, salad
peppers and lots of other things
but most of all it has no iceberg
lettuce - which is my test for how
much a restaurant cares about
saldl The tasty luncheon
sandwiches include Rueben (for
$2.75) which is delicious and

served in wholewheat pita
bread, if you like. The meat was
very lean and the dressing yum-
my. Tuna salad, barbeque,
turkey and Jarlsberg (cheese)
melt round out the sandwich
part of the menu. All sandwiches
($1.75 - 2.75) are served at-
tractively on either white or
wholewheat pita, with a pickle
and your choice of cole slaw or a
terrific potato salad.

The choice among the other
entrees posed another dilemma
for me. They offer a pasta salad
(which I will get into later), roast
chicken ($5.50), turbot fillet
($5.95), canneloni ($4.95),
quiche du jour (such as ham and
cheese, or zucchini and tomato
for $2.25).

Once I finally decided on the
pasta salad ($3.75), I was
delighted. The description was a
little vague but it ended up being
vermicelli noodles that had been
cooked, drained and chilled.
Then a concoction of parsley,
green onion, fresh basil, green
olives, tomatoes and a few other
goodies were added to the
noodles and it was tossed with a
tart dressing and served on a bed
of lettuce. It was a real hit -
delicious and so unique.

The dessert choices include
stilton cheese, marinated
orange sections, walnut roulade
(which is walnut cake with a
cream filling rolled in nuts and
sliced), and chocolate truffle
cake. We tried the lusicious
sounding walnut roulade and it

was alright, not as "hot" as it
sounded. The desserts range
from $1 .50 - 2.50.

With each section on the
menu they have wine sugges-
tions which could be helpful to
some neophytes. As you might
imagine they have an extensive
wine menu. I am partial to dry,
red wines so that is all I have
ever had tere. You can order
most wines by the glass or bot-
tle. They also offer quite a few
imported beers and the usual
other choices.

I thoroughly enjoyed our trips
to The Corner Wine Bar and con-
sider it a good change of pace -
place. Certainly not inexpensive
(lunch for 2 with a drink runs
about $9) but for a special mid -
day treat you should give it a try.

Cali Talks About The Competition

by Marcia Whetsel

Joseph Cali, one of the stars of
The Competition, at a recent
press luncheon in Atlanta,
talked about his role as Jerry Di
Safvo in The Competition, his
entrance into the acting world,
and his hopes for his acting
ca reer.

Cali, the 30 - year - old New
Yorker, with no trace of the
Bronx accent he has in The
Competition and Saturday

Night Fever, was raised in
Queens and brooklyn. He won a
debating scholarship to a small
college in upstate New York to
study pre - law, but decided to
quit to study drama. He
graduated from the University of

Come step into a child's fan-
tasy world and experience joy,

in an episode of Trapper John,

Jerry Di Salvo, Cali's role in
The Competition, is a darkly
handsome New Yorker who is

one of the finalists, along with
Richard Dreyfuss' and Amy
Irving's characters, for the
Hillman Competition. Di Salvo
tells the press fictional stories of
his struggle to climb out of the
ghetto and delinquency. He sees

experiences emotions common
to both children and adults. In
the course of discovering herself
and the real world, she en-
counters laughter, temper tan-
trums, wonderful fantasies and
quiet moments full of reflection,
frustration and despair.

Ann Harris, a senior theatre
major from Doraville, will direct
"Step on a Crack." Miriam
Garrett, a freshman from Atlan-
ta, plays Ellie. Other local
students appearing in "Step on a
Crack" are Caminade Bosley, a
freshman from Atlanta, Gregory
Kerns of Buckhead, Julie
Norton, a freshman from Atlan-
ta, and Gene Tootle of Law-
renceville.

the competition as a different
sort of musical spring board.

"You know who outdraws
Sinatra in Las Vegas?" Di Salvo
asks. "Liberace. That's who. And
I play piano piano better than he
does."

Ca li sa id that he enjoyed wo rk-
ing on The Competition and

was pleased with the way his
character came across in the
final cut. He said that many of his
scenes in the original script, in-
cluding a date with Heidi, played
by Irving, was cut. However, Cali
felt that his character did not
suffer any and only the best
scenes were included in the final
cut.

Cali said that movie was shot
in three months and that work
went very smoothly, with a lot of
improvisation. He said that the
shooting averaged four or five
takes for each scene.

When asked what aspect of
the movie he preferred, Cali said
that he especially liked the
exploration of the man - woman
relationship. He called it a
"sophisticated romance," not a
"light love story" or "just
another piano movie." He also
mentioned the strength and the
vulnerability of Paul, played by
Dreyfuss, as he struggles with
his feelings and makes his all -
important decision at the end of
the movie.

Cali said that even though

someone else performed his part
of the score for the film, he
memorized his piece note for
note to be able to match the
music on film. He said that he
does play the piano, but that
Dreyfuss had never played a
note before filming and
averaged two hours a day in
practice time after filming all
day, as well as studying several
months in advance of shooting.
Cali said that whenever there
was a filming break, Dreyfuss
would go over to a piano and
practice.

Cali also spoke of his first big
break in Saturday Night Fever.
He said he was doing off -
Broadway shows and working in
a hi - fi store when a man in-
volved with the casting for the
film came into the store and
offered him the role when he
found out he was an actor. He
then was able to join the Screen
Actors Guild.

In both The Competition and
Saturday Night Fever Cali has
played the loud - mouthed, New
York Italian type and feels that
he has been typecast to a certain
extent. He also had trouble get-
ting older parts because of his
youthful look, but is working to
diversity his roles. He is soon to
begin work on a boxing film.

When asked what he hoped to
do in the future, Cali said he
would like to do another film

with John Travolta, and aspires
to working with Mel Brooks and
Francis Ford Coppola.

He recommends aspiring ac-
tors to get a college education,
not only for the experience of
working in college theater, but
also to know how to speak and
present themselves to the
public. He said there were many
highly acclaimed actors in the
business who could not talk to
the public, but would not men-
tion any names. He also advised
young actors to start with
characters and plays that are
close to something they know.

Roman Polanski's (Yawn) "Tess"

by Kathy Helgesen

Tess, Roman Polanski's new
film version of Thomas Hardy's
Tess of the d'Urberrvilles, is a

visually breathtaking film.
Polanski successfully captures
the look and spirit of rural Vic-
torian England, however,
beautiful scenery does not cover
up Tess's many defects

In the first place, at a running
time of almost three hours it is
much too long. There is a point in
the film where it becomes pain-

fully boring to watch Tess stare
out of yet another window or
trudge along another dusty road
Sure, it is gorgeous, but enough
is enoughl

Also, I am irked with anyone
unimaginative as to make a
movie "in the grand tradition of
Gone With the Wind. Of course
any dissapated female with
curled bangs in a bright red
dress standing on a staircase
saying "I love another man" is
going to look like Scarlett You
can do better than that, Roman.

However, the most disturbing
feature of Tess is what Rolling
Stone refers to as "its wimpy
heroine". Polanski and his
fellow screenwriters pervert
Hardy's novel by draining any
hint of spirit or character from
Tess. I felt not a drop of sympathy
for anyone in the film. - the men
are all despicable and Tess, pas-
sitivity personified, sits back and
mournfully accepts all the abuse
they give her. At one point she
sighs, "Once a victim, always a
victim." This is the most in-

dignation she can muster up. If
she's going to be that spineless,
let her suffer.

One parting shot I want to take
is at Polanski's new "discovery",
Natassia Kinski She looks like a
cross between Brooke Shields
and Ingrid Bergman, but she
speaks like she just got off the
boat The closest she comes to
English is a garbled mix of
German and Irish brogue, and
that is a shame, because the
supporting actors all have fine
English country accents. It spoils

the effect Polanski tries so hard
to create.

I do not mean to totally pan
Tess. Thomas Hardy is tremen-
dously hard to put on film
because of his slow - moving
plots and his careful attention to
details, which will skyrocket the
production costs of any film that
tries to look authentic. Polanski
concentrates too much on
details and tries to squeek by
with a second - rate adaptation
of the book. Someday I will have
to try my hand at it

Security Reveals "ASC Is Not A Haven From Crime"

Renaissance Fair Plans Announced

by Kim Kennedy

Security Officers at ASC do
much more than checking doors,
letting girls in without keys and
patrolling traffic. Each day these
seven men and one woman
protect students from the crime
that surrounds ASC on all sides.
These officers go through
specialized training to insure the
safety of all on campus.

Recently, Chief of Security, Al
Evans, explained the
qualifications for each officer
hired by the college. They must
be twenty - one years of age,
have a high school education,
and a clean record. They do not
go through the mandatetraining
of a municipal officer, but every
year they have classroom and
field training with the Decatur
police by FBI and GBI agents, at-
tornies, judges, commanding;
police officers, and inves-
tigators. There is also a three
week session of campustraining
to familiarize them with the
campus and campus com-
munity. Although these officers
are not members of the Decatur
police department, they do have
special authority with the
Decatur police in the area
surrounding Agnes Scott.
Constant radio communication
with the Decatur police and fire
department is also maintained.

Al explains that crime is on the
increase everywhere and this in-
cludes Agnes Scott. Prowlers
and peeping toms are always a
threat, as are the thefts, from
within and without the campus
community. In the last two years
Security has adopted an attitude
of "Cracking down on crime"
and as a result has picked up
more people from on and off

campus as compared with past
years.

The maintaining of security of
a woman's college is different in
many aspects from that of a
coeducational institution.
Location is a very determinant
factor in the number of security
problems. It is much easier to
spot a suspicious looking male
on an all - female campus than
on a co - educational campus.

The Security department
expresses concern over the
developments of the TGIF
parties, especially the one at
which there were "A lot of
problems." It is the feeling of the
department according to Mr.
Evans that the right decision
was made to end TGIF's for a
while; that the student body
should be aware of the problems
that have been occuring. A mere
warning would not have been
the answer. But Al Evans stated,
"It is the drunks that cause the
problems. People (and not just
college - aged) are too often not
responsible enough to control
their own drinking. They don't
respect authority, especially a
man in uniform, and won't listen
to the officers. Things just came
to a head last time. Maybe stop-
ping the TGIF's will give
students time to think.
Hopefully, the next ones will be
better."

The Agnes Scott security of-
ficers must not only protect
students from crime from inside
and outside the college but they
must also make sure that the
students behave responsibly. It
is not an easy job keeping 550
girls protected on campus.
Students may too often feel that
they are totally safe on campus,
but as Mr. Evans states, "Agnes
Scott is not a haven fromcrime.'

As most students know by
now, the Lecture committee has
presented various speakers,
films, theatrical groups and
dance groups all related to the
theme of the English Renais-
sance Festival.

The climax of this year long
celebration will be a Renais-
sance Fair April 23 (the birthday
of Shakespeare and the last day
of the Folger Exhibit at the High
Museum) and 24, just two mon-
ths away. Lecture committee
proposes that each Agnes Scott
organization participate by spon-
soring a particularactivity ordis-
play. "Everybody on campus will
be involved - both in the
educational aspects of this pro-
ject and the fun," said Mrs.
Linda Woods, Chairman of the
Lecture Committee.

The fair will continue Friday
afternoon on the Athletic Field

and in the Ampitheatre, the
locations of Elizabethan ac-
tivities and displays. Colorful
tents will be set up on the field,
providing games of chance and
skill such as archery, mouse
roulette, and bowling, and will
include refreshment booths and
arts and crafts displays. Mimes,
jugglars, jesters and Agnes
Scott dancers will be featured on
the Ampitheatre stage. That
evening a Renaissance feast will
be served in Evans Dining Hall,
which will be transformed into a
torch - lit Renaissance Hall. Prof.
Gail Cabisius will provide
musical entertainment during
dinner.

The fair will begin Thursday
evening with an Elizabethan
Review, to be coordinated by
Mrs. Margaret Pepperdene,
chairman of the English
Department and directed by Mr.
John Toth of the Theatre

Department. The review will be
presented at the High Museum
and on the Agnes Scott campus

Student Interns at
Volunteer DeKalb-Gwinnett

By M. B. Herbert

Lee says interest has been
expressed in my internship. I
think she just needs filler for a
few column inches.

I work as an agency
interviewer for Volunteer
DeKalb-Gwinnett. VDG is a part
of United Way devoted to mat-
ching members of the com-
munity with agencies which
need volunteers. As an agency
interviewer I (you guessed It)
.interview the directors of the
various agencies we serve.

There are over 150 agencies
to which we refer volunteers in

DeKalb and. Gwinnett counties.
The director of VDG, Sandra
Morris, has encouraged me to
pursue my interest in juvenile
law and the court system in
general by allowing me . to
interview agencies such as
DeKalb Juvenile Court,
Gwinnett Juvenile Court and the
Neighborhood Justice Center (a
great place, if anyone's
interested).

My job consists of renewing
contracts and revising in-
formation sheets with the
agency directors. We discuss
their current volunteer needs

and the type of training required
of or provided for individual
volunteers. I also assess how
well VDG is (or is not) meeting
the agencies' needs.

So, while I work for a
volunteer office, most of my
work is spent with volunteer
directors and coordinators and
not with volunteers.

If anyone is interested, VDG
offers a wonderful overview of
the social services ot Atlanta and
is an excellent first step in an
ever - more competitive area
More interns are always needed
- Libby (CPO) has additional info.

Music and Chemistry?

Yes. Music and Chemistry is
senior Lynn Stonecypher's
double major. Lynn, from
Huntsville, Alabama finds
chemistry "the mostchallenging
and interesting," yet enjoys
music very much. Lynn, a bas-
sonist, enjoys music so much
she decided to major in it as well
as chemistry. If having to choose
between the two Lynn says she
would choose chemistry over
music, however she enjoys
music more. This is practical she
says, for the music major does
not have as helpful a future as
the chemistry major. Both of
these disciplines demand much
time. Somehow Lynn seems to
find time for labs until five
o'clock and music lessons, notto
mention at leastsix hours of out-
side practice on her basson.

Lynn just recently finished
putting much more than six
hours of practice in each week,
for she was preparing for her
senior recital. Lynn's recital was
just one example of her perfec-

ting manner. She played a
variety of music including such
works as Mozart's Bassoon
Concerto in B flat (K.I 91 ),
Concert for Bassoon by Burrill
Phillips, Concerto in A minor by
Antonio Vivaldi, Saint - Saens'
Sonate, and Paul Hindemith's
Sonate.

Lynn is also very athletic. She
is in Dolphin Club, and is presen-
tly president of Athletic As-
sociation. Lynn enjoys swim-
ming, water skiing, and running.
Her most unusual interest
however is rapelling and spelun-
king. She enjoys these sports
most often at her home in
Huntsville and at Chattanooga.
Lynn describesthe experienceof
dropping into a 160 foot pit and
then scaling a 30 foot wall in
order to investigate a cave. "It's
hard work," says Lynn, "butfun;
it's great fun. Your body really
has to adapt to a change of
temperature." Lynn says that
you get really hot just climbing
up to the site with all your

equipment on. Then, one has to
descend into a cave between
50 and 60 Farenheit. "It's
much harder getting out of the
cave than getting in," adds Lynn.

Lynn has also co - piloted
single engine airplanes. This is
another one of the sports she
really enjoys a lot, especially
single engine planes. As you can
tell, Lynn is very much an out-
doors person, from camping to
flying.

As far as the future goes,
beginning in June, Lynn says,
"I'm keeping my options open."
Lynn may go to graduate school
and take computer courses or go
for a chemical engineering
degree. However, right now,
Lynn feels a job is just appealing
as graduate school. As for
music, Lynn plans to join the
music union and be "a good
amateur performer." Lynn also
hopes to keep giving private bas-
soon lessons, something she
began in high school.

Spelunking is a hobby.

Close-Up On Tennis Team

The tennis team members
have finished 5 weeks of in-
dividual workouts on the wall in
the gymnasium. These workouts
are conditioning exercises
carried out at least twice a week.
Two different circuits are set up
to improve endurance, strength,
and agility.

Each player was taped on
video to pinpoint errors in stroke
execution, including feet work,

follow through, racket
preparation, etc. An overall im-
provement in form and con-
sistency is hopeful for
successful spring season.

The tennis team is now in-
volved in outdoor practice and
position challenges. Those
members returning from last
year are, Meredith Manning,
Priscilla Kiefer, Anne Markette,
Annie Meador, Teace

Markwafter and Susan
Kennedy. Newcomers and
freshmen are Sue Feese,
Charlotte Ward, Meg Jenkins,
Linda Brannen, Nancy Griffith,
Kim Lenoir and Sue Mason.
Virginia Bouldin and Kathy
Fulton are also returnees.

Challenges for the top six
singles and top three doubles
are now in progress.

Ms. Messick says the first

home game of the season,
March 30, against Emory will be
tough. The Emory tennis team
were the state champions last
year. Ms. Messick says, "I'm op-
timistic, I like the players; they
look good to me."

Dr. Shaw Awarded
One Year Fellowship

by Colleen Flaxington

Constance Shaw, Chairman of
the Department of Spanish, has
been awarded a prestigious one
- year fellowship by the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
This fellowship will help fund
Mrs. Shaw's sabbatical, part of
which she plans to spend in
Madrid.

The bases for the award were
Mrs. Shaw's teaching and the
research she. has done on Jose
Luis Aranguren, former profes-
sor at the University of Madrid.
Mrs. Shawmet Aranguren in the
sixties wh ile directing the Smith
College Junior Year Abroad
program in Spain. Afterwards,
she began reading his works,
among which are "Ethics and
Politics" and 'The Future of the
University." Every time she
returns to Madrid, Mrs. Shaw

keeps in touch with Aranguren.
She says of him, "He
represented intelligence to the
students of the University. With
great courage he expressed his
opinions and spoke in favor of
democracy during the Franco
regime. He was loved and
respected by the students."
Aranguren, a philosopher
concerned with ethics, affirmed
the worth of Ortega y Gasset, the
most eminent philosopher of
20th Century Spain. Ortega
Gasset 's works were held in low
esteem by the Franco regime,
but in fact his effect on Spain
was so tremendous that one
writer said of him, "He is to
Spanish society as the red
thread is to the British flag." He
played a crucial role in the 2nd
Republic of 1931 , as Aranguren
has in the new democracy.

This year, Mrs. Shaw has
given papers on Aranguren at
the University of South Carolina
and at the University of Georgia
and has had two papers
accepted for publication, one by
Queens Quarterly, a Canadian
journal, and one by a volume en-
titled Hispanic Essay. Her sab-
batical will be spent doing
further reserach on Aranguren,
and Mrs. Shaw hopes ultimately
to compare the ideas of
Aranguren and Ortega y Gasset.

Mrs. Shaw chose Aranguren
to be the subject of her research
not only because of her personal
respect for him butalso because,
in her words, "I am very much
interested in the influence of the
intellectual on society. I find
Aranguren 's thoughts on the
future of the University and of
the Humanities stimulating."

Founder's Day Celebrated

Professor John W. Toth and theatre student Liz Steele.

Theatre Department
Presents "Dear Liar"

by Coleen B'Neill

On March 6 and 7 at 8:1 5 PM
the Agnes Scott Theatre
department will present Jerome
Kilty's play, "Dear Liar." The
show is based on letters that
George Bernard Shaw and Mrs.
Patrick Shaw exchanged for 40
years. The actress and the
famous writer will be portrayed
by senior Liz Steele and Mr.
John Toth of the Theatre
Department.

This promises to be a very
interesting show. The audience,
says Liz, "Is never quite sure if
they are good friends or lovers."
The characters shift in their
letters from arguments to gen-
tleness. Both are very witty
people. George Bernard Shaw is
a genius who finds in Mrs.

Campbell an adversary who will
not be cowed, according to Liz.

The play moves from 1899 to
1939. It follows its characters
through life, from youth to old
age. Liz said, it is a "good study
of two human beings."

In its production "Dear Liar" is
unusual. With only a few props
an a two person cast, the play
relies on the richness of human
drama. Much of the show is
played to the audience. Only
three times do the actors come
together. They do scenes from
"Pygmalion" and "The Apple
Cart." Also, they come together
for an argument over the
publishing of the letters which
Mrs. Campbell has collected.

The performance is free.

"You are members of a great
tradition. I hope you will fight to
stay a part of it." The tradition
Ms. Rhoda M. Dorsey, president
of Coucher College, spoke of was
the existence of the woman's
college. President Perry, past
president of Goucher, a
woman's college in Maryland,
introduced Ms. Dorsey at the
Founder's Day Convocation,
Wednesday. He announced at
that time that Agnes Scott alum-
nae, faculty, students and
friends had helped the College
meet the challenge fund.

Ms. Dorsey spoke about the
concerns of the Agnes Scott
founders: women, education,

and quality. She contrasted the
founding principles and
regulations of Mount Holyoke
Sem ina ry in 1 830 with those of
Agnes Scott today. She stressed
the importance of striving for
excellence." You can realis-
. tically choose to be a part of the
elite," she said.

"A woman's mind should be
polished to a high shine. By all
means, keep the mind running
even when it runs in circles,"
she advised.

Ms. Dorsey also discussed the
close atmosphere at a woman's
college and recalled the
"network" among her fellow

Smith graduates. The en-
vironment at a woman's college
teaches us not to just respect
each other, but to care. She said
that it is beneficial to carry this
attitude into the business world.

Ms. Dorsey also presented
some 'pleasing statistics. She
said that women who graduate
from a woman's college are
twice as likely to succeed in
public endeavors than those
women who graduate from a co
- educational institution.

'The world may notbe waiting
for you with open arms, but at
least it's not shooting back," she
said.

Parking Problem Discussed

by Colleen Flaxington

Is the "parking problem" on
campus more a matter of mere
inconvenience than a lack of
spaces in which to park? This
was one of the first topics
brought up on a rainy Wednes-
day morning, Feb. 28, during an
informal discussion among
President Perry and about
fifteen students.

Concern was expressed that
the administration had ap-
proached Rep Council com-
plaining about or pressuring
them to change the current park-

ing situation. President Perry
replied that this was not the
case, and in fact he had not
hea rd comp la ints from any of the
faculty. He said that Dean
Kirkland had suggested that
changes might be made.

'The last parking changes
seem to have been a real im-
provement," he added.

President Perry reaffirmed the
priorities of Agnes Scott to be
first, the safety of all students,
and second, the provision and
pursuit of academic excellence.
While on this subject, he men-

tioned that Agnes Scott charges
almost the lowest fees of any
comparable women's college.
He explained that he keeps in
touch with representatives from
other women's colleges and
compares notes annually, con-
trasting such matters as tuition.
While President Perry main-
tained that Agnes Scott will only
raise her fees when she must,
he said that Agnes Scott's
tuition must keep pace with
those of her sister schools, and
he mentioned that a

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

As you know, for many mon-
ths now the city of Atlanta has
been plagued with a rash of child
murders. One of the less im-
portant, but yet significant,
results of this problem has been
the tremendous debts incurred
by both the Atlnata Police
Department and the families of
the murdered children. Ac-
cording to the Deaprtment's
Special Task Force, some
families do not have enough in-
surance or finances to pay for
the unexpected funeral
expenses. Mayor Maynard
Jackson, in fact, has a special
council which is handling
donations which might help to
defray these costs. Of course,
searching for the children and
their murderer(s) is a very
expensive endeavor and federal
financial aid has notyet been ap-
proved .

The murders which have
stunned the city are both a
national concern and a campus
one. Members of the Ad-
ministration, faculty, staff and
student body have expressed a
desire to help in some way. We
and several other students are
taking the initiative to launch an
effort to facilitate the giving of
donations from the Agnes Scott
community. We know that some
community members have
already donated; however, our
talks with other persons have
revealed a real desire to help but
lack of knowledge about how. In
our effort, we will place donation
envelopes in the post office

boxes on Tuesday, March 3.
Anyone wish ing to donate in the
name of Agnes Scott's Ad-
ministration, Faculty, Staff and
Students may place her or his
donation in the envelope, sign-
ing the name (opt.) and the
amount (please) outside.
Students will be in the dining
Hall at lunch and dinner from
Wednesday to Friday to colelct
the envelopes. Money received
will be sent to help defray
outstanding funeral expenses
unless one indicates on the
envelope that the money inside
should be sent to the Special
Task Force. We will also try to set
up donation collection sites in
Buttrick.

We realize also that some
persons may wish to make in-
dividual donations and not con-
tribute in the name of the college
community. Such persons wish-
ing to donate to the families may
send a check payable to Missing
and Murdered Children Funeral
Expenses to this address:

Mayor's Office of Community
Affairs

Attention: Lena Reid

Atlanta, GA 30335

Those wish ing to donate to the
Special Task Force may send a
check payable to the A. P. Bain
Investigative Fund to this ad-
dress:

We trust that the college will
support us in th is effort. Both the
families and the Task Force
would certainly appreciate any
donation despite the size. Thank
you.

Dear Editor:

I was very disappointed in the
editorial written by the
"concerned student" in the
February 23 edition of the
PROFILE. The editorial page is
the place to voice responsible
opinions and then be prepared to
stand by them. It is not the place
to take cheap shots at in-
dividuals or organizations. By
"cheap shots" I mean making
irresponsible criticisms
anonymously. If you feel strong
enough about your opinion, you
ought to be prepared to stand by
it. A "hit and run" does not hold
much weight.

Rega rding the mandatory con-
vocation of February 11, the
cancellation of T.G.I.F. parties
was NOT the only reason the
meeting was called. The health
and safety concerns were of
equal, if not greater, importance.
And if Dean Kirkland injected
humor into her announcements,
she did so to hold our attention,
and here she was certainly
successful.

The T.G.I.F. parties are an im-
portant issue which Ido not have
all the answers to. However, as
an active member of Social
Council, I will say that we are
making every possible effort to
make the social life at Agnes
Scott exciting for everyone.

I'm sorry, but I for one cannot
take your complaints seriously.
The vicious attack on Dean
Kirkland and Social Council was
both irresponsible and dis-
tasteful. Maybe it was better
that you remained anonymous.
And, incidentally, any Social
Council member will be more
than happy to ta Ik with you about
your complaints.
Very Sincerely,
Laura Newsome

To the Editor

As Winter Quarter slowly
comes to an end, Social Council
sponsored their last band party
of the quarter. It was a huge
success . The band was fantastic,
the lodge was extra large and the
turnout was unbelievable. By
unbelievable, I am not refering
merely to quantity but to the
quality. For all of you ladies out
there that complain about your

social life and never having the
chance to meet anyone, you
really missed it. Throughout the
night the average was
somewhere between three to
four guys per one girl. Even
better than that I would like to
think that the guys were of a
select group since Social Coun-
cil took extra care in publicity.
Due to the fact that T.G.I.F.'s
were cancelled this quarter, we
worked extra hard to make this
band party something special.
However, if the turnout was any
indication of concern over social
functions, I guess we were not

papers that need to be typed?
Oh, you don 't have a typewriter?
Well, wander on over to the

film cartridge and a rerite film
cartridge. Beloware the rules for

Well, it is now over. I have
spent two years of Monday night
meetings and weekly deadlines,
and will finally have some time
for myself.

My year as Editor of THE
PROFIE has been an interes-
ting, and involved one. I have
had a lot of fun, and worked an
awful lot as well.

An old friend of mine used to
argue with me over how much
work I put into the paper and
whether or not I was doing a
good job. We disagreeda lot, and
while I can see a few of his
points and wish I had more time
to do all I wanted to do with the
paper, I can still be satisfied with
what I have put into this past
year and be ready to walk away
from the job.

As for the actual amount of
work I put into this thing every

as concerned as we thought.

I would like to thank those of
you that came. I feel that it was a
great party, and everyone of you
that came, helped to make it so. I
know this is one good reason our
T.G.I.F.'s will once again be held.
I will close with an extra special
thanks to those of you on Social
Council, who unselfishly helped
me at the ruckus band party. It
was something new and
different, and only with your ef-
fort did we pull if off without any
problems.
Sincerely,
Malinda Roberts

Southern Ballet To Celebrate Anniversary

The Southern
Ba llet of Atlanta, one of the first
regional ballet companies es-
tablished in the United States
and an "Honor Company", as
designated by the National As-
sociation for Regional Ballet, will
celebrate its thirty - fifth an-
niversary with two Gala
Performances on Saturday,
March 28 at 8 PM and Sunday,
March 29 at 3 PM at Symphony
Hall in the Memorial Arts
Center.

Founders Pittman Corry and
his wife, the late Karen Conrad
Corry, were pioneers in the
American regional ballet
movement. Although the two
enjoyed highly successful
careers in New York, they chose
to return to Pittman Corry's
native Atlanta, where, in 1946,
they founded a company
dedicated to utilizing the talents
of Atlanta and regional artists.

Through the years, the com-
pany has produced ap-
proximately 1 50 ballets and has
contributed at leasta half million
dollars into cultural Atlanta.
More importantly, The Southern
Ballet has been a showcase for
southern da ncers,

choreographers, scenic and cos-
tume designers, musicians,
composers and technicians. A
non - profit organization, the
company has remained solvent
for over three decades and has
raised the necessary monies to
pay its bills through its own ways
and means, in spite of the fact
that it has received only $5,000
from outside grants.

The March Gala performances
will be highlighted by four stars
of the Robert Joffrey Ballet Com-
pany, N.Y.C., who will appear as
guest artists in two Pas De Deux.
Ballerina Denise Jackson will be
partnered by Gregory Huffman,
premier danseur, in Gerald
Arpino's ]'Secret Places"
(Mozart) and/or Diane Orio's
"Reverie" (Albinoni). The
promising young Kameron
Basden will be partnered by
Carol Corry in the "Corsaire"
Pas De Deux (Drigo). Carl Corry
is one of the many Southern
Ballet alumni who have gone on
to have successful professional
dance careers.

Director Pittman Corry, senior
choreographer to the company,
will choreograph "Symphonic
Dances" to movements of
Tschaikowsky's Symphony #4.
The second movement of this
ballet was selected for the
Southeastern Regional Ballet
Association's (SERBA) Gala
performance in Augusta last
spring. This work will mark
Pittman Corry's second
"symphonic ballet", the first be-
ing "Sibelius Symphony #2"
choreographed and performed
In Atlanta in 1967.

Many Southern Ballet alumni
and friends are contributing
their time and talents to the
thirty - fifth anniversary Gala.
Anton i Zalewski, guest artist
from New York, has been as-
sociated with the company for
many years and has starred in
the past nine seasons of
"Christmas With Hans Christian

"Ladies & Gentlemen..."

by Baird Lloyd

"Ladies and Gentlemen,
Children of all ages, Welcome to
the Greatest Show on Earth."
Once again the Ringling Bros,
and Barnum & Bailey Circus had
come to town. This year's 1 10th
edition promised to be greater
than the previous one hundred
and nine.

The Omni was filled with a
maze of rigging and you could
smell the elephants for miles.
Although the elephants are no
longer used to help put up the
bigtop, they are still very much a
part of the circus.

This year's circus sported ten
wild polar bears, fifteen Royal
Bengal and Siberian tigers,
several dozen trained horses,
and thirteen marveleous
elephants. Both the polar bears
and the tigers showed their
agility by dancing, walking on
balls and finally, by jumping
through flaming hoops. Charly

Baumann, the tiger - trainer,
even attempted to put his head
between the jaws of one of his
tigers, but the big catdidn't want
to open his mouth. The
elephants showed amazing
agility by walking on their
"hands".

Continuing in the circus
tradition, there was a large
number of trapeze artists,
springboard artists, cossacks,
clowns, and the inevitable
human cannonball. This year's
huge spectacular The Circus
Galaxy, got everyone in on the
act, even some kids from the
audience.

The magnificant costumes,
the lights and the music, the
excitement, the thrill of danger,
and the mystical tradition all
combine to formthe magic of the
circus. This truly is a show for
"children of all ages". Also,
there is enough popcorn and cot-
ton candy to ruin anyone's diet.

Alicia Gomez, ASC's representative in the Southern Ballet.

for performance at the same
SERBA Festival.

Assistant company director
and soloist Christopher Corry,
will choreograph a children's
ballet for the Junior and
Intermediate members of
Southern Ballet to an original
piano score by Atlanta
musician/ composer Michael
Ehrhardt. The score, a suite of
classical dances, was first used
by associate director, Lottie
Hentschel, for a children's ballet
performed at the Women's Club
Auditorium. The ballet, entitled
"Prelude", will be presented to
an invited audience March 28
and 29 prior to the Gala
performances.

Ticket prices range from $10,
$8, $6 with student prices $8,
$6, and $4. All seats are
reserved and are on sale at the

featured role in the new
"Symphonic Dances".

Southern Ballet alumna,
Ginger Prince, will choreograph
a new ballet for the anniversary
occasion. As yet untitled, the
work will be set on the company
during February. Ms. Prince, a
child movie star, grew up in the
Southern Ballet and
choreographed at least seven
ballets for the company before
moving on to other successes
with many regional ballet com-
panies, musical theater,

Broadway and off - Broadway
productions.

Coby Grossbart, another com-
pany aiumna, who appeared
both on Broadway and on tour
with Carol Channing's "Hello
Dolly" will re-stage Pittman
Corry's ballet "Transitions"
(Richard Strauss) for the Galas.
Ms. Grossbart starred in the
original cast in 1974 at the
Alliance Theater and later in
Orlando, Fla. when this ballet
was selected for a SERBA Fes-
tival Gala. Her first ballet
"Hoedown" was also selected

TGIF Returns in Spring

Social Council is pleased to
announce that the T.G.I.F.
parties will begin once again this
spring quarter. Dean Kirkland
and Social Council have dis-
cussed the matter. Due to the
cooperative attitudes which
pervailed at the past two band
parties, they feel that it is time to
resume the T.G.I.F. parties.

There will be some changes. The
amount of beer that is served at
the function will be limited.

Publicity will be handled by the
students putting up the signs.

This proved to be an effective
means for the Ruckus band
party. Any student who wishes
to take a sign and put it up in a
place of her choice, may obtain
one from the publicity chairman.

It will also be up to every student
attending to remember the
purpose of the T.G.I.F.'s.Theyare
to serve as a social function for
all Agnes Scott girls to mix with
friends and new people. They
provide a break from all the

normal routines. T.G.I.F.'s are
not a drinking contest. With co -
operation from everyone,
T.G.I.F.'s should continue in the
spirit from which they
originated. They look forward to
seeing everyone at the first one.

Student Interns At Georgia State Capital

by Lee Ann Chupp &
Pe 9gy Schweers

Long days and a busy
schedule are the stuff of Lee Ann
Chupp's job as an intern. A
senior from Atlanta, Lee Ann
was accepted as an intern at the
Georgia State Capital.

At the Capitol, Lee Ann helps
the Banks and Banking Com-
mittee and the University
System of Georgia Committee of
the House. Her specific job is to
prepare everything for com-
mittee meetings, by making a
status sheet of bills relatedtothe
committees and writing
analyses of bills for the
University committee. She also
does constituent work for the
chairman of the county
delegation. For the Banking
committee, Lee Ann has fewer
responsibilities. Sitting in on
meetings has helped a great
deal, but her knowledge of ban-
king and business is somewhat
limited.

At Agnes Scott, Lee Ann is a
Political Science major. She is

also working for her Business
Certificate. In her limited free
time, Lee Ann is a photographer
for the Silhouette.

Although she is taking no
classes this quarter, Lee Ann
will write a paper to be con-
sidered with her work for credit.
The topic will compare and con-
trast the speakers of the House
and Senate, Zell Miller and Tom
Murphy. Whether she gets 12 -
1 5 hours of creditwill be decided
by the Curriculum Committee.

Because of the drastic change
from school - life to business -
life, Lee Ann says "I don't know
how I'm going to handle classes
again!"

After graduating this June,
Lee Ann will go to Georgia State
for a Master's Certificate in
Special Education.

What has Politics got to do
with teaching the deaf and
multiple handicapped? As a
senior in high school, Lee Ann
went to Washington, D.C. with

the Close - Up Program, to
observe government in action.
While there, she met some deaf
students there for the same
program. Later, a visit to a
special school for the deaf in
Dallas, Texas, strengthened her
interest, and initiated her
pursuit in a career teaching
students.

Recently, Lee Ann was excited
to be at the capital when Former
President Jimmy Carter
stopped by for a surprise visit.
She shook his hand twice and
remembers, with a big smile that
she "really enjoyed meeting
him."

After graduation, Lee Ann will
mostly continue her political
interest in a voter's capacity.
From her experience, she said
she can understand the news
more thoroughly. After four
years at Agnes Scott, Lee Ann
recommends doing an
internship as valuable practical
experience as well as an interes-
ting alternative to school.

Lee Ann Chupp, Political Science major discusses her internship.

Honor Scholar Finalists Visit Campus

On February 26-28, the thirty -
five finalists in the Honor
Scholar's competition were on
campus for interviews. Ten of
the finalists will be named
recipients of the $2500/yr
scholarships which are
renewable for four years if
suitable college performance is
maintained. The Honor Scholar
program was established last
year for the purpose of attracting
outstanding students befitting of
Agnes Scott's standard of

academic excellence. The Board
of Trustees approved the
scholarship program with the
stipulation that regular financial
aid money would notbe reduced.
Of the 105 applicants for the
program this year, 65 met the
basic criteria and 35 were
selected as finalists. The
number of qualifiedapplicants is
higher this year than last, but
Mary Kay Jarboe of the Ad-
missions staff stated that the
two groups are "equally

excellent."

The -purpose for bringing the
finalists to the campus is two -
fold: to interviewand toacquaint
and interest them in Agnes
Scott. They arrived Thursdayand
attended an Orientation session,
followed by a dance at the
Atlanta Historical Society with
the interview panel. That night
there was a campus - wide Hub -
Party at 10 p.m. On Friday, the
finalists attended classes in the
morning and departmental

meetings in the afternoon. Fri-
day evening students attended
performances of either the
symphony or the Alliance
theater players. The interviews
began Fridayafternoon and con-
tinued all day Saturday. Each
finalist had a fifteen minute en-
counter with the panel during
which she was asked a number
of questions relating to her
academic, extra - curricular,
social, and personal lives. The
panel consisted of President

Perry, Judy Tindel, Deans Gary
and Kirkland, Professors Pinka,
Brown, Wistrand, Pepperdene,
Tumblin, Bowling, and three
alumni. After all the candidates
have been interviewed and their
applications studied, the
winners of the Honor
Scholarships will be announced.
The finalists came from as far
away as New York, Rhode Island
and Texas and as near as
Decatur. All expenses are paid
by the college.

Visiting Art Professor Shares Cemetery Expertise

by Jane Zanca

While some people get the
shivers just passing a graveyard,
there are some, like ASC's Dr.
Diana Combs, who can't get
near a cemetery without stop-
ping in. Dr. Combs, Visiting As-
sistant Professor of Art, is so en-
thusiastic about the subject that
she has been sharing her con-
siderable expertise with fellow
"grave diggers" on occasional
Sunday lecture tours of Oakland
Cemetery in Atlanta

Dr. Combs is emminently
qualified in the area of funeral
iconography, having completed
her dissertation on Eighteenth
Century Funereal Art of Georgia
and South Carolina. She first
became interested in this
unusual subject, she says,
through her husband, who is a
longtime graveyard enthusiast.
Her research into the 18th cen-
tury soon led to the succeeding

era and the transition of at-
titudes which occurred in the
Victorian period.

Oakland Cemetery, the oldest
in Atlanta, contains a wealth of
artifacts. As Dr. Combs told a
recent tour group, "It's like going
on a treasure hunt, once you
know what to look for." Oakland
contains the graves of many of
Atlanta's most prominent
citizens, one of the most sought -
out being that of Margaret Mit-
chell

Tracing the winding brick
paths of the sprawling cemetery,
the tour passes throughthe pre -
Civil War, Confederate, Jewish,
late 19th Century, and early
20th Century sectors. The
gravesites range in style from
the humblest stone markers to
grandiose temple structures
with stained glass windows,
ornamental gates, gargoyles,
and steeples

The focus of the most recent
lecture was on motifs common
to the 19th century, and in-
corporated the philosophy of the
Victorians regarding death. The
Victorian, Dr. Combs said,
viewed death not as a taboo, nor
as a topic to dwell on morbidly,
but as a part of the natural order
of things. In trying to make the
experience of death more com-
fortable, she continued, the Vic-
torian used the accouterments
of domestic life in cemetery art,
such as chairs, cradles, and
beds. One touching example of
this was a tiny marble cradle, in
which the artist had lovingly
carved the imprint of an infant's
body, as if the child had been
taken for a morning bath and
would soon return.

The Victorian family lived, she
said, with a much more frequent
experience of loss by death.
Women lived in dread of the

complications of pregnancy and
childbirth, because so often they
died "in travail." The many
motifs of women, mothers and
children in the cemetery bore
this out.

The cemetery itself, Dr. Combs
said, was much like a park,
planted with trees and shrubs
and dotted with green areas
where families could relax or
meditate or even picnic. While
the notion of a picnic in a
cemetery might strike some
moderns as ghoulish, to the Vic-
torians it was a sensible way to
keep in touch with the memory
of loved ones. Even the most
stoic participants in the tour
gleaned an understanding of
this philosophy when con-
fronted with a simple marble
monument to four sisters, ages
two, four, six and eight years, all
of whom died within weeks of

each other in the late 1 860's, ap-
parently in some type of
epidemic.

Dr. Combs plans another tour
sometime in March and hopesto
make it a monthly event.
Oakland is located on Memorial
Drive near downtown Atlanta
and is accessible via MARTA
tram at the Martin Luther King
Memorial stop. The cemetery is
surrounded by a decaying in-
dustrial and urban area but a
caretaker and guest center are
present on the grounds, so it is
appropriate for a visit with a
group of friends, particularly on
weekends. There is a lovely view
of downtown Atlanta from the
cemetery and in the spring the
many blooming plants will make
it even more charming. Self -
guided tour maps are available
at the guest center and there is
no admission charge.

Epicurean's Delight Jarusek's Crab Shack

Jarusek's Crab Shack - 3769
Buford Highway (near
Clairmont), 636-8738 Winter hr.
- Mon. - Thurs. 11-10, Fri. - Sat.
11-11, Summer hrs. - Mon. -
Thurs. 11-11, Fri. - Sat. 11-12,
Closed Sunday all year.

If you like your seafood very
fresh and don't care about the
amenities of waitresses in sailor
outfits, fishnets on the walls and
cutsy named items on the menu,
then Jarusek's is your place. It is
a no frills place that depends on
a few delicious crustaceans to
keep the people coming back and
believe me - it works.

To begin with the menu's a
simple xerox sheet. Their
specialty is whole, steamed

Maryland crab. They come in 2
sizes, large and medium, and
you can buy them either by the
dozen $14.50 for large and
$1 1 .50 for medium) or the half-
dozen $7.50 for large and $6.00
for medium). The crustaceans
are steamed in Old Bay
seasoning, which is a quite
spicy, wonderfu I concoction that
leans heavily on the cayenne
pepper. It's got zip!

Other delicacies on the menu
are softshell crab ($3.00 each),
king crab (13 Vi oz. served with
cole slaw and melted butter for
$8.50), crab soup $.85 - 1.35),
shrimp by the dozen (steamed or
friend - $3.50), oysters (on the
halfshe II or steamed either by
the dozen or half - dozen), clams

also on the halfshell, steamed
or fried. They have a few seafood
sandwiches and a few side
dishes such as french fries, cole
slaw and tossed salad but you
can tell what the speciality is -
pure seafood I

Another concoction that is a
pure delight is the Crab Cake at
$2.10 each and well worth it.
One is not big enough for a meal
alone but order one along with
something else, just as a bonus.
It is tende r crab meat mixed with
onions, a little egg, a little Old
Bay Seasoning, parsley and a
few other spices, then fried.
They offer the crab cake alone or
on a hoagie roll.

Before you rush out for
Jarusek's let me give you a few

words of wisdom. First, as I
alluded to earlier, it is not a fancy
place so dress accordingly.
When you order the crabs the
attentive waitresses cover your
table with newspaper and lay
down a roll of paper towel,
mallets and a few plastic uten-
sils. Believe me, all of them
come in handy. When the platter
of hot, steaming whole crabs is
placed on your table, you are
expected to roll up the old shirt
sleeves and dig in! It's the only
way to really enjoy it.

Jarusek's is perfect for a fun
dinner for two but it's also a
great place to get a group of
friends together and make a
night of it. It is nottoo expensive
(especially for seafood in this

town), the atmosphere is loose
and everyone seems to talk to
each other - advising about one
dish or an other. As I mentioned
the waitresses are terrific. They
will check on you periodically
and give instructions on tearing
the crabs apart if that technique
is foreign to you.

There is a similar restaurant,
Caravan's on Memorial, that has
a more extensive menu, but I
definitely think Jarusek's has
fresher, better quality food.
Caravan's is a bar as well as a
restaurant. Jarusek's happens
to serve beer buttheir emphasis
is definitely with the food - first
and foremost. So if you're "into"
crabs then try Jarusek's for a
real treat.

Student Reflections: Worries , Worries, Worries

by Chris Gill

As if we at Agnes Scott didn't
have enough to worry about . .
tests (Oh, God, two weeks till
finals), dates (or lack thereof),
diets, (or lack thereof), should we
jog at night (should we in
daylight), missing food from the
hall fridge, winter blues . . .

Where do the little goldfish in
the Alumnae Garden Pond go in
the cold weather? Sure, it's a
minor question, but how many of
us, cutting through the garden
every day, stand at its edge and
wonder? I know of at least six, so
it's not just my own Piscean
preoccupation and the in-

fluences of my last namel We've
even named them. A typical
conversation runs:

"Where are they?"

"It's supposed to go down to
19 tonight,"

"Do you think maybe Jaws I
ate Jaws II, and then Orca

tronomy Series will feature the
lecture, "Companions of the
Sun," and the planetarium

finished them off?"

"Probably Gertrude squashed
them - and all for an
engagement ring ..."

Well, I couldn't stand it any
longer, and one day on my way
back from class I marched
myself into the Alumnae Office

Observatory. The free, public
program will begin at 8 p.m., rain
or shine. For more information,
call 373-2571, Ext. 335.

Robert Hyde, director of
Bradley Observatory, will speak

to find out. Once I got there, I felt
thoroughly silly but continued
with my mission, convinced it
was a case forthe ASPCA. Then I
remembered that some goldfish
live in the wild and we are in the
south (not so cold) and so I felt
even sillier when I was calmly

on the solar system structure
and its history.

Julius Staal, director of the
planetarium, will present a
planetarium show on Taurus
and talk about the mythology

told that our own Scottie Goldies
spend the winter in their little
brick houses (otherwise known
as the Eastern and Western
Villas) on the bottom of the pond.
Mystery solved . . . now, where
do you think those water bugs go
when it gets cold? . . .

which applies to the celestial
bull.

in Decatur on East Dougherty
Street across from the Agnes
Scotttennis courts.

Free Astronomy Program Offered

Informal Discussion continued from page 1

psychological factor of "paying
more for higher quality" also
enters the picture. He said that
fuel costs alone have increased
by 40%.

President Perry expressed
hope to be underway soon with
the construction of a new gym
and student center, and a new
science building. He said that
the board doesn't like to go into
debt for things, so construction
is assumed to be waiting on
funds. The discussion closed
with comments and questions
aboutthe library. First, someone
wondered if library hours could
be extended. The general
consensus of the group was that
even if they were, not enough
students would stay that late to

make the extra cost of keeping
the library open longer
worthwhile.

Another student mentioned
that rare books are sometimes
found with other books in the
stacks. President Perry stated
emphatically that these books
should be kept in the rare book
room.

Check-out policies were also
discussed with Mrs. Newman,
who was present. To review
these policies, students, faculty
staff and alumna are all eligible
to check out books. Also eligible
are students from other schools
with inter - library use cards,
which are issued by the
University Center.

What Is Fitness?

From: "Running for Health & Beauty" By Kathryn Lance

Out of shape . . . unfit - what do
these terms really mean? "Out
of shape" can be taken literally,
of course: it can mean bulges,
flabby muscles, excess weight. It
can mean feeling tired all the
time, yet not being able to sleep
well. It can mean getting out of
breath easily and being irritable.
But it can also mean - and this is
the most important meaning -
the possibility of a shortened
life.

Physiologists recognize three
different kinds of fitness. These
are muscular, skeletal, and
cardiovascular. Muscular
fitness has to do with the tone
and strength of your basic mus-
cle groups, calisthenics such as
push - ups, leg lifts and sit - ups
are designed to strengthen and
toneyour muscles, andthus lead
to muscular fitness. The second
kind of fitness, skeletal has
primarily to do with flexibility.
Bending to touch your toes,
stretching exercises, and yoga
asana, promote this kind of
fitness.

The third kind, cardiovascular,
is by far the most important. It
refers to the strength and health
of your heart and blood vessels.
And, unfortunately, it is the kind
of fitness that most of us are
least aware of, because it
doesn't show - at least notdirec-
tly.

It's hard to get worked up
about your heart, I know. After
all, it doesn't show; it just keeps
doing its job, day after day, week
after week, with no upkeep to
speak of. Maybe it'll give out
someday, but not for a long time,
and anyway, you've heard that
women don't have to worry
about heart attacks.

That is only partly true.
Granted, women as a group
have less risk of heart attacks up
to the age of menopause,
because we're protected by our
hormones. But after middle age,
women's risk approaches
men's. Besides, a poorly con-
ditioned heart leads to more
troubles than the ultimate oneof
heart attack, and many of these
ailments can start early in life.
You may have read about
atherosclerosis, or hardening of
the arteries, a condition in which
your blood vessels become daily
and increasingly clogged with
deposits until one day the whole
system shuts down and you die
of a heart attack or a stroke.
Atherosclerosis is commonly
thought of as an old person's
disease, but the fact is that the
early signs of this horrifying
killer are being detected in
today's American teenagers!
High blood pressure is also a
disease of the cardiovascular
system, and this too is beingdis-
covered in young people. In fact,

it's estimated that that twenty -
seven million Americans have
heart or blood vessel disease.
That's almost one - sixth of our
entire population I

Despite all these alarming
statistics, I admit that the
dangers of circulatory disease
can seem remote - unless you
find that you actually have one of
these conditions, as [ did five
years ago. But think about it this
way: your heart, which is only
about the size of a closed fist,
pumps more than 3,000 gallons
of blood thousands of miles
everyday. Hardly a job for an out
- of - shape muscle.

How can you tell if your heart
is out of shape? You could take a
special stress test under the
supervision of a doctor. In this
test you exert yourself to
exhaustion, while the doctor
monitors your heartbeat. By
measuring such things as your
resting heart rate, maximum
rate under stress, and recovery
rate, the doctor can determine
how fit your cardiovascular
system is. But there is a much
easier way to find out the con-
dition of your heart simply ask
your body. Can you run for a bus
without getting out of breath?
Can you walk up two or more
flights of stairs without your
heart pounding? Can you engage
in strenuous physical activity
without tiring? More to the point,

can you run a mile and a quarter
in twelve minutes or less? Can
you walk two miles in half an
hour? (Don't try these last two
without your doctor's advice -
but you probably know the
answer already.) If theanswerto
any of these questions is no,
then your heart is not in good
condition.

Fortunately, all muscles can
be restored to good condition by
the right kind of exercise. And
this includes your heart. But
what is the best way to exercise
your heart?

All exercises - those we do as
part of a class or those we do in
the course of our daily lives - can
be divided into two kinds,
aerobic and anerobic. What
aerobic means literally, is
"promoting the supply and use
of oxygen." You know you can't
live without oxygen, butyou may
not know why. It's because ac-
tivity of any sort - from balancing
a checkbook to making love -
uses energy. You get energy by
burning fuel, which you take in
the form of food. And the
substance by means of which
the fuel actually "burns" is
oxygen.

Just as you can store fuel in a
car by filling your tank with
gasoline, so your body can store
fuel - as it readily does, in the
form of fat. But since there's no
way to store oxygen, you have to

keep taking it in continuously, by
breathing. The better the supply,
by breathing. The betterthesup-
ply of oxygen you have, the more
efficiently itcan be delivered, the
better your body can burn fuel
and the more energy, you will
have.

Aerobic exercises, then, are
those activities which improve
your ability to take in and deliver
oxygen to your body tissues. In
aerobic exercises, you breathe
hard and deep over a sustained
period of time; your heart beats
faster than normal for the same
period; and you sweat a lot. The
four basic aerobic exercises are
running, walking, bicycling, and
swimming.

All other exercises are
basically anaerobic - they build
muscle strength or improve
flexibility, but do nothing to im-
prove your ability to use oxygen.
Weightlifting, stretching, yoga
asanas, isometrics (exercises in
which one muscel is pitted
against another) are all
anaerobic. To be sure, there are
some sports, such as handball
and tennis, which both build
strength and tend to be aerobic.
But these are usually notsosus-
tained as the basic four, and only
a sustained aerobic exercise can
improve the condition of your
heart, lungs, and circulatory
system.

Jean King: Cashing in at the
Net"

Hit high volleys crosscourt:

When an opponent hits a ris-
ing shot, that's your chance to
put the ball away with a solid,
high volley

During my matches, I always
keep in mind that high volleys

equal crosscourt winners. Why?
Because rising shotsare usually
hit softer than normal ground
strokes. Thatgivesme extra time
to move in on the shot, meet the .
ball in frontof my body and volley
it forcefully.

By moving in, I also open up
more angles to work with - mak-
ing the high crosscourt volley a
good percentage shot. The down
- the - the line high volley is a
much tougher shot to execute.

Quick stroking lesson: On all

volleys, take your racquet back
as far as your rear shoulder in a
compact motion. Do it as you
move to meet the ball. You'll
eliminate rushed preparation.

2. Aim Low Volleys down the
line:

Obiously, it's to your ad-
vantage to make contact with
the ball on your vol leys above the
level of the net. But low shots
will force you to volley uptoclear
the net; so you'll have to hit the
ball with less power to keep it in
play. In those situations, just use
your low volley to set upthe next
shot.

The way I usually do that is to
stick with the percentage
placement - going deep and
down the I ine I don 't try to do too
much with the ball. My main
concern is to keep the action in
front of me. That way, I'll be in
good position to hit my next
volley My opponent will have to
stroke a precise shot down the

line or sharply crosscourt to pass
me. If she can do that, then she
deserves the point.

Quick stroking lesson: It's im-
portant that you get down to the
level of the ball on your low
volleys by flexing your body.
Otherwise, you'll be forced to
drop your racquet head and
scoop the ball back across the
net with little control.

3. Think high on your wide
volleys:

You can bang away high
volleys, finesse low volleys and
smash lobs for winners. But
there's not much you can do
offensively with wide volleys.
That's because the full exten-
sion of your body robs you of
strength and power.

So one of the key elements in
hitting a wide volley is to think
high. When I'm reaching for a
wide shot, I realize that the only
thing I can do with my volley is to
block the ball back as firmly as
possible. I don't have the
strength to muscle the shot.
Most importantly, I make sure I
give the ball enough height to
clear the net. Then, after I hitthe
volley, I regain my balance and
get back into position.

Quick stroking lesson: Your
success in reaching wide shots
depends on the quickness and
sureness of your reactions. To
get a fast jump on the ball, keep
your weight forward in your
volleying stance That will help
you more rapidly in anydirection
to make the volley.

SG A President

Peggy Davis:

1 . What do you think of our
present system of student
government? Would you work
for changes in the system? If
so, what?

Our student government
reflects the purpose on which
Agnes Scott College was
founded - to learn, to appreciate
and to apply. Scott's very nature
is based on tradition and
likewise is her system of student
government. Therefore, the
system is slow moving as
recommendations pass through
correct channels and wait for ap-
propriate approval. This can be
very irritating when we want
immediate change. But, through
this system, any recommen-
dation is analyized and
evaluated carefully and most im-
portantly, completely. I feel
change in the system is neces-
sary if it strengthens and im-
proves our presentsystem. And I
would work whole - heartedly for
such a change. But, as it is today,
the system is workable. The
Representative Council does
have power and authority and
the SGA President is a member
of the Administrative Committee
(which is responsible for ap-
proving recommendations
which affect the student body).
Therefore, it would be one of my
duties to insure that the system
remains workable - that we on
Rep Council are organized so
that we do not further slow the
system and that we remain
aware of any imbalance in our
system whose success depends
on equilibrium.

2. As you see them, what are
the powers and duties of the
SGA President?

As I alludedto before, the SGA
President is a liasion between
the administration and student
body. Communication of student
needs and concerns to the ad-
ministrative body is as neces-
sary as the communication of
administrative concerns and
opinions to the students. Also
important, isthe communication
between the student body and
Rep Council. This requires an
awareness of all campus
organizations and their
interests. So,the President must
insure that everyone speaks out
and after speaking, that their
voice is heard. In this sense, the
President is a mediator of affairs
- she must be knowledgeable of
and acquainted with any

particular issue and be able to
make unbiased decisions. In
combination with this, she must
also be a source of new ideas
and an instigator of untried
procedures. Once a decision is
made, she must have the
courage to stand by it - the
courage to say, "Look at what we
have done!" as well as "Oh,
what have we done?"

3. Do you have any specific
plans that you would propose if
elected?

As President, I would have a
primary objective which isto dis-
burse more responsibility to Rep
Council members. This would
guarantee an active council and
promote greater participation
among the student body. Also, I
would continue Laura's practice
of informing the campus of Rep
Council's activities as well as
her policy of maximizing the use
of student fees. A few of the
particular issues which students
have expressed concern include
dining hall hours and menu,
parietal hours, campus club
evaluations, and athletic
facilities. Students will be given
the opportunity to voice their
suggestions, grievances and ap-
probations and then, the council
will work!

4. What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you want this office?

As you have noticed, I have
stressed (and I hope not overly)
the idea of mediation of many
concerns which is because I feel
this office requires having an
open mind. One of my better
qualities is being open to all
sides of a situation. And once
committed to a particular goal, I
hold myself responsible to its
fulfillment. I find challenges
personally satisfying. I enjoy be-
ing involved as well as creating
an environment in which others
a re motivated and encou raged to
make their contributions.
Through my involvement in Rep
Council and other campus
organizations, I feel I am
prepared to hold the office of
SGA President. I have learned
how our student government
system operates and I am willing
to continue learning the
concerns of both the student and
the administrative bodies. I have
grown to appreciate our system
of tradition and its importance in
our development. Now, I would
be honored to apply this as your
President.

Jenny Howell:

1 . What do you think of our
present system of student
government? Would you work
for changes in the system? If
so, what?

I think that our presentsystem
of student government is good. It
serves its purpose fairly. Our
system, however, is quite com-
plicated and confusing if one
isn't sure how to work within it.
There are a lot of different com-
mittees and boards to deal with
each time an RC is brought up or
a change isto be made. I feel that
a better awareness of how this
system works is needed and
with more unity between
students and administration,
this could be accomplished. The
main change I want to work
toward is more unity - a unified
community, campus and
Student Government As-
sociation.

2. As you see them, what are
the powers and duties of the
SGA President?

I see as duties of the SGA
President, mainly to be a neutral
presiding officer over the weekly
meetings of Rep Council, to be
an encouraging officer to Rep
and to all the other councils and
boards on campus, to be willing
to help these boards and to have
the knowledge of when to help.
In order to do this last duty, I feel
that the President should know
whateach board is doing, as well
as each board should know what
Rep Council is doing, which
means that the President should
be in contact with these other
Board Chairmen. The main duty,
however, as I see it is to be the
connector or "liason" between
the student body and the Ad-
ministration. The President
should be open to student
opinion and she should be able
to express these opinions con-
fidently in meetings with the Ad-
ministrative Committee.

3. Do you have any specific
plans that you would propose if
elected?

I would like to seethe students
of Agnes Scott College more in-
volved, and more interested in
the going-ons of campus
organizations. I would like to set
up an enthusiastic publicity
committee in Rep. that in work-
ing with other campus
organizations, can encourage
more students to get involved by
informing them of all the pos-
sibilities for involvement. I'd like
to work with Board of Student

Associations and evaluate all
the campus organizations, and
see if the need is present for all
of these boards. I also would like
to further my own knowledge
and the Rep Council's
knowledge of the different cam-
pus councils by working and
talking with them. I would like to
work closely with Orientation
Council and the Freshmen and
transfers, sparking interest such
that these new students will
know what Rep Council is and
does and such that they will
want to come to Rep meetings
and run for class represen-
tatives. Freshmen and new
students are a very important
asset to and a part of Agnes
Scott. They bring in new ideas,
new thoughts and always new
people willing to help and get in-
volved. I would like to establish a
Faculty and Administration ap-
preciation day in which all
students would be involved in
saying "thank you" to the
Faculty and Administration for
their time, efforts and devotion
to us, and to the common goal of
Agnes Scott College - "es-
tablishing perpetuating, and
conducting a liberal arts college
for the higher education of
young women under auspices
distinctly favorable to the
maintenance of the faith and
practice of the Christian
religion.'' (pg. 5 Student
Handbook)

4 . What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you want this office?

In high school, I served as
President of Junior Civitan, a
national civic organization, and
as President of French Club. I
was also an active member in
National Honor society for three
years. During my years at Agnes
Scott College I have served in a
number of councils. As a
freshman, I was an active
representative with the Student
Admissions Representatives
and a Freshman representative
to Social Council. As a
sophomore, I was representative
to student Government As-
sociation and to Social Council.
On Social Council I was co-
chairman of TGIF's and Beer
Chairman. As a junior I have
served as Secretary of the
student Government As-
sociation. During this past year
as secretary, I have worked
closely with Laura and the other
officers of SGA and I feel that
with their help, I can handle the
position of President I am very
organized in my work, as proven

by my work as Secretary. I am a
natural leader as I'm afraid many
friends will confirm, and I like
taking on responsibilities. I'm
always willing to jump right in
and attack the situation at hand.

I would like the office of
President of the Student
Government Association very
much. With my past experience I
know I can handle the position
and still retain a mild level of
sanity. I feel that I have a lot of
new ideas - and enthusiasm for
SGA. Most of all, I love Agnes
Scott College, what it stands for,
what it creates and its potential
and ! would very much like to be
a major part of Agnes Scott
College and to be able to add my
contributions to its growth and
development.

Susan Mead:

1 . What do you think of our
present system of student
government? Would you work
for changes in the system? If
so, what?

It is amazing to sit in on a Rep
Council meeting and see the
organization, cooperation and
involvement of the members.
We have a real legislative body
working on this campus! I think
this is the most efficient and
effective form of government; all
the representatives take an ac-
tive part and seem very
concerned and aware. However,
I do see some problems with our
"system" here at Agnes Scott,
though I believe they affect
rather than reflect our form of
government. Agnes Scott is not
only our school, but for many of
us it is our home and, not to be
trite, but our life. Our college is
truly a community, have you
ever had moments when you
rea I ize that you 're a pa rt of a very
special group of people here or
you realize how much you may
really miss this place after all?
There is a "spirit" to be tapped
here at Agnes Scott and I think
we all know it. As varied a com-
munity as we are (and should
be), we must be concerned
about, interested in, or at least
respectful of each other's
brainstorms, each others needs.
Most of us are often too busy in
our own organizations or our
own little worlds to see what
else is going on on campus; we
need to stop and think how we
can combine efforts and
interests to get projects done, to
raise money, or to fight what we
term apathy.

SGA President

Susan Mead: Continued

2. As you see them, what are
the powers and duties of the
SGA President?

According to the handbook
and to general practice, the
student government president
has as her mam duties those of
presiding over Rep Council
meetings, being a member of
several administrative and
student committees, and being a
liason between the students and
administration. The duty that is
not listed in the handbook and
the one I see as primary for SGA
president is serving as
resentative of and having^ res-
ponsibility to the entire student
body (which is the Student
Government Association). She
must be the prime motivator for
and the most enthusiastic about
the challenges that Rep and the
whole community face. She
must be willing to accept such
challenges for the school; she
must be willing to challenge
every student to become aware
of what is going on; and she
must make sure that each
student feels comfortable in
challenging her. The powers of
SGA President are really fairly
limited: not only is she unable to
vote in Rep, she is also under a
lot of pressure to live up to a
multitude of expectations. Still,
she has the power of influence
and she has to feel both the res-
ponsibility and the freedom in
that power.

3. Do you have any specific
plans that you would propose if
elected?

Unity and spirit are two seem-
ingly ambigious terms, yet there
are a few concrete ways to
define them. First of all, the
representatives that are elected
to Rep. Council have to be just
that - representative. If a student
doesn't feel that her views are
being voiced (and not only thenl)
she should exercise her right to
become involved and come to
the Rep meetings, all of which
are open. I hope to make
"visitors" more comfortable at
the meetings - it's pretty scary
being the lone spectator when
everyone wonders why you're
therel Secondly, I would like to
see us have more activities that
bring us all together, either to
discuss issues (maybe we could
call a few spontaneous man-
datory convocations) or just to
have fun (a big social event, beer
party, wine and cheese or
whatever - "Just for the girls" -
excuse me - for the women!)
This may not seem quite in the
jurisdiction of SGA, but I think it
is or could be. Along these lines I
would like to see the major board
chairpersons get together about
once a month (with President
Perry, Dean Kirkland, etc.)to dis-
cuss the needs that crop up on
campus and to decide which
group can best implement what

solutions.

4. What are your

qualifications for this office?
Why do you want this office?

The various roles of leadership
I have held on campus have
provided me with a broad basis
for coming into this job: I have

from page 1

served as Freshman Junior
Jaunt Chairman, Sophomore
Class Vice - President, President
of the Student Admissions
Representatives, Secretary of
Arts Council, and Vice
President of Art Club. Because of
these and other positions, I have
worked with almost every
segment of the administration
and with prospective students
all the way through alumnael
Because I have been involved in
a little bit of everything, I have
seen the diversity of interests
and the similarity of needs here
at Scott. I am now ready to take
what I've learned in the past
three years and apply it to the job
in which I feel I can best serve
the school. I have been known to
rave about what a wonderful
place ASC is in the same breath
with talking about all the
changes I'd like to see. With the
enthusiasm, openness, and
dedication that have always
been a part of me, I hope to make
everyone realize that Agnes
Scott can become at least a little
of what each one of us wants it
to be; but each of us has to get
out there and try to make it that
unique place - individually and
together.

AAaryellen Smith

1 . What do you think of our
present system of student
government? Would you work
for changes in the system? If
so, what?

The Student Government
system as it is now is quite
workable but that does not
eliminate improvement. The
various organizations function
efficiently and most very effec-
tively. However, a few of the
committees need to reevaluate
their goals and objectives,
resulting in the combination of a
couple. Recently, there has been
an interest to become more in-
volved on campus and off cam-
pus. I encourage all to read the
weekly calendar and to attend
those meetings that interest you
so as to foster this developing
enthusiasm.

A major problem I have slowly
begun to understand in the
Student Government system is
the tendency for those in office
to forget they represent all and
make decisions concerning
every student. A cry about
apathy reverberates throughout
the campus; I see the underlying
problems of apathetic students
one of not giving them the credit
they deserve and of not being in
touch with them. Naturally, in
the midst of elections, those run-
ning speak of cooperation, co -
ordination, and integration in
hopes to encourage voters, yet I
strongly believe that SGA can
not function without the above
attributes In order for better
communication to exist between
students, organizations and ad-
ministration, we must all be
committed to the present
system.

2. As you see them, what are
the powers and duties of the
SGA President?

One of the responsibilities of
the SGA President, I happen to
think the most important one, is
to meet with Deans and
President Perry to discuss cam-
pus issues and student
problems, facilitating student
communication. If this is a
priority, the President must be in
tune with student wishes and
have common sense notto men-
tion enjoy talking. The
President's power lies in presid-
ing over Rep Council yet in an
impartial way. To communicate
with other colleges, discovering
new ideas is another duty.
Above all the SGA President
must be able to represent Agnes
Scott and its students.

3. Do you have any specific
plans that you would propose if

elected?

I hope to attend the South
Eastern Women's Colleges
Conference with other
interested students in order to
learn from other colleges and
students. An attempt is always
made to spark student interest;
therefore, I too shall suggest an
approach to reach this goal. I
think that student participation
would be spurred by encouraging
Rep members to discuss issues
brought up in meetings with
students and by proving to
students that their opinion is of
importance.

4. What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you want this office?

I feel that I have the necessary

qualifications for SGA
President; otherwise, I would
not run. I was a sophomore
representative to Rep Council
and this year I have held the of-
fice of SGA Treasurer. Of
course, there are always new
things to learn and to become
accustomed to; however, I feel
that in order to be effective and
efficient experience is man-
datory for this office. Leadership
opportunities I have had before
on campus and off, and I would
much like the opportunity to con-
tinue my involvement as your
SGA President. I want to offer
my services to Agnes Scott
students, both my time and
abilities. I can not promise lower
tuitions, but I can promise hard
work and enthusiasm.

HonorCourt Chairman

Nancy Blake:

1 . Are you satisfied with our
present judiciary system?
Would you work for any
changes? If so, what?

1 . Yes, I am satisfied with the
present judiciary system. Agnes
Scott's judiciary system allows a
student who has broken the
Honor Code to be tried, con-
fidentially, by her peers and to
appeal to the Administrative
Committee if she is not satisfied
with Honor Court's decision. The
dual responsibility involved in
Agnes Scott's Honor system
promotes mutual trust among
both students and faculty.

2. As you see them, what are
the powers and duties of the
Honor Court Chairman?

2. As I see them, the powers
and duties of the Honor Court
Chairman involve the thorough
investigation of each case before
charging a student and bringing
her before the court. The
Chairman must also do her best
to insure that each case is
treated individually and fairly,
and in the best interest of the
Agnes Scott community.

3. Do you feel that freshmen
are adequately oriented to our
Honor Code? If not, how would
you change this?

3. Especially this year, I feel
that the freshmen have been
adequately oriented to our
Honor Code. "Adequate" is an
appropriate term to describe the
first understanding of ASC's
Honor Code, since it is difficult
for almost anyone to grasp every
aspect of our Honor system dur-
ing a few brief meetings of orien-
tation. To resolve this, Honor
Court members have held
meetings near the end of Fall
and Winter quarters to further
explain exam procedure to all
new students, and to find
answers for any of their ques-
tions. I would plan to continue

this procedure next year, unless
the new board offers other
workable ideas.

4. What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you want this position _

4. Since I served as an Honor
Court board member my
sophomore year and am curren-
tly serving as secretary -

treasurer of Honor Court, I do
feel qualified for the office of
Chairman. During the past year I
have worked closely with Ha and
fulfilled my responsibilities as
secretary - treasurer. I would like
to serve the student body in this
position, because I have the
experience and would enjoy the
responsibility. Thank you.

Interdorm

Chairman

Leanne Ade:

1. How do you view this
position and its res-
ponsibilities?

1 . Interdorm serves as a liason
between the Dean of Students
Office and the student body,
especially those students who
live in the dorms on campus.
More specifically, the chairman
of Interdorm remains in close
contact with Dean Kirkland.
Because dorm life is a large and
an important aspect of almost
every Scottie's life, this com-
munication line is a very im-
portant responsibility of
Interdorm chairman. Not only
are Dean Kirkland's insights and
counsel invaluable, but also
Interdorm chairman and
Interdorm itory Council can give
the Dean's Office feedback
when appropriate.

Similarly, the Interdorm
chairman should encourage
communication among dorm
presidents. Dorm Council
Presidents often share similar
problems and can, therefore,
benefit by sharing successful
solutions with one another.

In addition to its executive res-
ponsibilities, Interdorm also has
judicial powers. Generally, the
individual dorm councils have
jurisdiction in problems with

dorm regulations, whereas
interdorm deals with referrals
and appeals. Exceptions to this
are: 1) violations of the alcohol
policy which occur on campus,
but outside the dorms and 2)
violations that involve morethan
one dorm. When Interdorm has
primary jurisdiction, Interdorm
chairman must investigate the
case with the help of another
Interdorm member and, then,
she must preside over the hear-
ing of the case.

In short, Interdorm chairman
and Interdorm itory Council aid
the individual dorm councils in
coordinating activities for the
dorms and in orienting new
students. They also oversee the
enforcement of the general
regulations of dorm life.
Interdorm is the foundation for
dorm life at Agnes Soctt.
Moreover, the atmosphere and
procedures prevailing in the
dorms have a direct bearing on
our attitudes as boarding
students at Scott. Interdorm
chairman is the one who must
guide and work with the group
that oversees this important
aspect of Agnes Scott life.

Athletic Association Pres.

Nancy Asman:

What are your
qualifications for this office?

Why do you wantthis position?

I was a board member last
year and this year. I look forward
to this position because I feel
Athletic Association can offer

the student body more sports
related activities and more op-
portunity to do things (like cam-
ping trips, hiking, white water,
ski trips, etc.) off campus.

Interdorm Chairman

Continued from page 2

2. Fortunately, our Interdorm
system is a well - structured
system and the number of
problems are minimal. The exis-
ting problems are of two types.
First, there is sometimes a lack
of communication between the
Dean of Students Office and
Interdorm itory Council and
between the Dean of Students
Office and the student body. The
latter being dependent in many
respects on the former. This
year's Interdorm discussed the
communication problem and
some possible solutions. One
good idea is to use THE
PROFILE as a way to inform the
student body and to publicize
Interdorm activities. The other
existing problem is a lack of com-
mitment to the dorm councils by
the elected dorm counselors.
Many people make it difficult for
a president to get a council
together spring quarter because
they decide to change dorms
after room drawing. Also, there
is a lack of commitmenttofollow
dorm rules. Two examples are
continued door propping and
abuse of the alochol privilege.
Interdorm has begun to "crack
down" on such rules and, with
student help, the problems can
be eliminted.

A new problem that will face
Interdorm next year is the
changed Senior Resident -
Resident Assistant arrangment.
(Beginning next yea r RA's will be
in Hopkins and Rebekah only.
Senior Residents will be in
dorms without RA's.) Interdorm
and the specific dorm councils
will have to absorb new res-
ponsibilities and be able to work
through any details that may
arise.

Needless to say, any
organization will have old and
new problems, but Interdorm is a
group with the reputation of
working well together. With con-
tinued cooperation and
experienced members, I think
Interdorm can battle any
problem imaginable. The keys
are enthusiasm, perseverance,
and dedication.

3. What are your
qualifications for this position?
Why do you want this office?

Interdorm chairman should
have the experience of working
with not only Dorm Council but
also Interdorm to fully realize the
mechanics of Interdorm. Having
served on both Dorm Council
and on Interdorm itory Council as
Walters' President, I feel well -
grounded in the basics of
Interdorm duties, but still
flexible to adjust to changes.
This background, combined with
my experience of working
closely with others to coordinate
extracurricular activities,
qualifies me to be next year's
Interdorm chairman. Interdorm
chairman is a challenging
position. Since I am qualified,
enthusiastic, and dedicated to
the principles of Agnes Scott
College, it would be a challenge I
would gladly accept!

Missy Carpenter:

1. How do you view this
position and its res-
ponsibilities?

1. The position of Interdorm
Chairman is one of the most im-
portant on campus, in which she
serves as liaison between the
Dean of Studets and the study
body through the Dorm Coun-
cils. One of the major res-
ponsibilities of this position is to
make sure that these lines of
communication are open so both
sides are aware of campus
problems. There is also a social
side of Interdorm, that of plan-
ning campus parties and ac-
tivities.

2. Are there any specific
problems that you foresee with
our interdorm system?

A problem Interdorm has had
is apathy and lack of res-
ponsibiltiy on the part of its
members. Many Dorm
Counselors use their election as
insurance of getting into a
certain dorm or on a certain hall,
and don't realizethetime and ef-
fort involved in the position.
There is also a problem with the
growing attitude that the Honor
Code applies only to academic
life but not to dorm life.

3. What are your
qualifications for this position?
Why do you want this office?

I was a member of Winship
Dorm Council my sophomore
year and am currently President
of Winship. I would like to be
Interdorm Chairman because I
feel that I have both the
experience and creativity to do
an effective and conscientious
job.

Emily Hill:

1 . How do you view this
position and its responsibilities .

Interdorm is considered to be
the liaison between the students
and the administration, and I
view the Interdorm Chairman as
one who maintains this com-
munication by speaking out for
the students. Dorm life should
be a pleasant experience, and
the Interdorm Chairman has a
responsibility to listen to
students' suggestions concern-
ing dorm policies andto act upon
them accordingly, in conjunction
with the administration. In ad-
dition, she must be creative in
planning dorm activities and un-
biased in the judging of student
offenses.

2. Are there any specific
problems that you foresee?

I predict that there may be
some discrepancies among
students as to the do's and don't
of dorm regulations, and at the
beginning of the year, Interdorm
and Dorm Councils need to
thoroughly advise new students
and re - advise returning
students of dorm policies. The
Honor System within the dorms
should be emphasized - we don't

1. What kind of an
organization should CA be?

I think that CA Cabinet should
consist of nine girls who are
committed to Jesus Christ and to
the progression of God's
kingdom on earth. They should
be willing to take on a great deal
of responsibility and to serve
others on and off campus. Out-

Lisa Edenfield:

1. What do you see is the

BSAactsas an advisory and co

student boards, publications,

quarter BSA sponsors self -
evaluations of each of these
organizations, which review the
present board and its activities
and determine both strengths
and weaknesses. BSA's role dur-
ing these evaluations is to act as
a guide in suggesting solutions
for any problems which a
particular board may have.

Kitty Cralle:

1. How could you make
Social Council a more effective
organization on campus?

As President of Social Council
! would improve communication
between the students and
faculty and within the council
itself. Through improved com-
munication and a council that
represents the ideas of the en-
tire student body, we could im-
prove the social activities at
Agnes Scott. I would like to see
more on campus social
functions in which students
could participate and enjoy with
or without a date. I would also
like to try some new and
different types of parties such as
mixers with various out - of -
state schools such as Davidson.
Other suggestions I have are: a
Bluegrass Party, a party on the

sophomore, I served as a
representative for the
Interdormitory Judiciary Com-
mittee. This experience on the
council gave me an invaluable
understanding of the ins and
outs of the dormitory system,
and I feel that I can relate to
students in many situations.

As a member of Studio Dance
Theater for two years also, I
learned the meaning of
dedication. A great deal of effort

feel excluded, nor do I want the
not - so - religious girls to see
Christians as an exclusive club
or feel that they can't come to
Large Group Meetings, Chapels,
or Bible Studies. CA is open to
anyone seeking to know
something about God. We are
here to answer questions and
help girls in any way we can -
whether physically, emotionally,
intellectually or spiritually. We
want to minister to the whole
person.

2. Are there any change* that
you would like to make?

In my three years at ASC |
have seen many positive
changes in CA. Serving on the
cabinet under Marie Castro's
leadership has been the most

beverage requests for student
functions and has jurisdiction
over use of the Hub for student
activities. BSA holds quarterly
calendar meetings to co -
ordinate campus activities.

2. What are your plans for
BSA?

As chairman of BSA I would
try to promote general
knowledge of BSA's role on
campus. I feel that many
students do not know what BSA
is or what its functions are.

I would also try to emphasize
to the officers of student
organizations that BSAiswilling
to help them anytime they feel

Stone Mountain Riverboat,^ a
Bahama Trip Party and a Mas-
querade Ball. I would also like to
reinstate the idea of a winter
weekend which would possibly
feature a TGIF brunch and
dinner - dance. Ifeel I have many
ideas to contribute to the council
as well as the leadership ability
to unite the council and work to
solve the social needs of the
student body.

2 . What are your
qualifications for this position?
Why do you want this office?

I feel I am qualified for the
position of President of Social
Council because of my
experience gained as Treasurer
of the Council this past year. As a
member of the Executive Board, |
feel I have a good insight of the
operations involved in running
the council, specifically the
problems incurred when plan-

worthwhile project, and I am
ready to put forth that effort in
order to maintain an excellent

stretching time of my life. I want
to continue where she left off
and keep the same level of
organization, enthusiasm,
diversity cf activities and
devotion to God and The Word
that she promoted in this year's
cabinet. I would love to see a
greater sense of cohesiveness
among Christians on campus
through weekly Large Group
Meetings, so that we can know
what people in different parts of
campus are learning through
sharing and singing. I'd also love
to see more prayer groups on
campus and more one - on - one

are already beginning to bud and
if lean continue where Marie left
off, perhaps these things will
grow to fruition.

brought up before, and if so,

solve them.

realtively fixed budget. I am an

reasons, I feel that I have the

Joy Jun:

1. How could you make
Social Council a more effective
organization on campus?

The principal function of social
council is to stimulate social ac-
tivity that adds diversion to the
Scottie's usual everyday life. I
have felt a diminishing sense of
community developing between
students on campus and would
seek to gain a better rapport
between the student body and

open ear to criticisms and the

have the ability to officiate
throughout the upcoming year
while planning an eventful
social calendar - one that
everyone can enjoy and one that
reflects students' wishes

2 What are your
qualifications for this position?
Why do you want this office?

Since first joining Social
Council my sophomore year, I
have enjoyed being an active
member and participating in all
social activities. While at Agnes
Scott I have also been a member
of Dorm Council. During high
school, I held many positions
which sufficiently prepared me
for the great deal of planning and
organization required for this of-
fice.

I understand the conflicting
demands that are placed on the
Social Council president in her
effort to find a compromise of
social tastes. I fee I this challenge
would enhance my overall
liberal arts experience here at
Agnes Scott but most of all I
deeply desire to serve Social
Council in this capacity.

Susan Proctor:

I do not think radical change is
the means of making Social
Council more effective; I seek to
improve. The administration has
worked hard to develop a diverse
student body here, and I contend
that Social Council should
expand its range of activities to
include this diversity. I also wish

to open up representation and
knowledge of Social Council's
activities, discussions and
decisions by posting budget dis-
cussions in the minutes, and en-
couraging petitions from
qualified students to provide a
wider cross - section of the cam-
pus community. As a past
number of Social Council, and as
one of the originators and initial
coordinators of the winter band
parties, I feel both qualified and
competent in being able to help
improve the type of activities
Social Council sponsors so that
the entire student body has the
inclination to participate.

Elise Waters:

Out of the group
organizations, I feel that Social
Council is one of the most excit-
ing and progressive. Con-
tinuously, new ideas from the

students emerge through the
organizational members so that
it can facilitate new activities. In
order to transform these ideas
into realities, strong leadership
must be provided which benefits
not only the group, but the
student body which it
represents. This calls for

someone who has had active
experience on the council and
who is sensitive to the needs of
the students. I believe that I
fulfill this role. I look forward to
meeting such suggestions as an
outdoor band party and a concert
in the winter theatre but these

Arts Council Chairman

Susan Mead:

1. What are your goals for
this organization?

Since Arts Council is con-
sidered boards on campus, I
would like to see it become just
that. The arts are very obviously
a vital part of Agnes Scott:
Blackfnars productions, lectures
by reknown scholars, Glee Club
exchanges just to name a few of
the events Agnes Scott offers.
The purposes of Arts Council are
to promote these activities on
the campus, to serve as sound-
ing board for all the groups in
its jurisdiction, and to make
students aware of the arts op-
portunities off campus. I men-
tion all this because two of my
biggest goals are to inform the
students as to what Arts Council
is and to let the arts groups in-
volved know what a unifying
board such as this can do for
them. Arts Council is not only
here to provide receptions after
performances (which, in fact, it
can no longer do because of
budget), it is not only here to
make one trip with a few
interested freshmen to the High
Museum in the fall. I hope to see
Arts council provide information
about metro arts events (in the

form of an Arts Bulletin Board or
Calendar), organize interested
students a nd provide
transportation to places such as
the Alliance, the Symphony, or
Piedmont Part Arts Festival, and
sponsor an annual Agnes Scott
Arts Show in which all the
performing groups and in some
way, the visual arts, take part.
The Council is supposed to serve
the students and the arts groups
in ways that the students and
groups need its services - Arts
Council should thusly not have
to solicit participation in its
programs, but should discover
what the Agnes Scott com-
munity wants to develop in the
field of the arts. In fact, this
aspect of the Council is being
realized in the Renaissance Fes-
tival this spring for which Arts
Council has been asked to
design the layout of the games,
booths, etc. I believe that there is
a need on this campus for an
organization to unify and
promote the Arts - as chairman
of Arts Council I would see that it
fills its obligation to do that.

2. What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you wantthis position?

I have served as Sophomore
Representative to Arts Council
and this year I have been
Secretary of the Council. I am
thus very familiar with both the
strengths and weaknesses of
the organization. The Council
has changed a great deal over

the years and I believe I have the
enthusiasm and the knowledge
to bring the Council to the atten-
tion and to the disposal of the
college community. Arts Council
has been very importantto me in
the last two years and as
chairman, I would like to see it
reach its full potential.

Margaret Phillips:

Arts Council is an organization
that acts as a sounding board for
cultural activities. Its purpose is
to bring representatives from all
the fine arts groups together and
encourage participation in
events on and off campus. As
part of our education, the arts
promote creative personal
growth, and provide a
pleasurable experience. My
goals for this organization are to
continue promoting
participation in the numerous
cultural activities and to spark
more interest and involvement
from the students.

I am interested in the position
of Arts Council Chairman
because of my appreciation and
love of the arts I am aware of
and realize the cultural ad-
vantages here at Scott and in
Atlanta. For the past year I have
been treasurer of Arts Council
and feel that this has given me a
good insight into the goings-on
of Arts Council. I have enjoyed
working on this council and
would like to continue as
chairman.

Orientation Council Chairman

Bonnie Etheridge:

1 . Do you feel that
upperclassmen should be in-
volved in this program?

Orientation Council needs in-
volved students - both
underclassmen and
upperclassmen - in order to
succeed in any of its programs.
Many students feel that
underclassmen do a better job
for orientation because they can
better relate to the problems and
interests of freshmen since they
were freshmen only a year ago.
This does not mean, however,
that upperclassmen do not have
their own contributions to make
to the new students, in terms of
thier expennece, their exposure
to more facets of life at ASC, and
their previous participation - as
underclassmen - in Orientation
Council's programs The Big
Sister program, the offices of
Onenttion Council itself, the
Book Committee for Academic
Orientation, and "helpers'' on
the other committees all provide
opportunities for involvement.

2. Do you feel that the Big
Sister program is effective?

The Big Sister program is, in
my opinion, the single most im-
portant part of orientation. Good
Big Sisters - those who spend
time with their little sisters
throughout the year in addition

to helping with the many Orien-
tation Council activities in the
fall - make the orientation
program a success. Bad Big
Sisters - those who abandon
their little sisters after the first
week of school and who are
insensitive to their problems or
needs - destroy the chances for a
successful orientation. Most of
our Big Sisters do a good job, and
many of them participate for
several years Last year's
program was very successful,
and I have every reason to
believe that this year's program
will be great, too.

3. What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you wantthis position?

I served last year as the
Academic Chairman of Orien-
tation Council. Every council
member who served under
Susan Nicol was able to work
with her at each step along the
way and was thus given the op-
portunity to gam knowledge of
her job by observing and by
participating. I think I have the
time, organization, experience,
and interest to be a good Orien-
tation Council chairman
Moreover, since I will be
graduating after fall quarter next
year. Orientation Council offers
the only possibility for holding an
office which I oculd complete by
the time I finish at Agnes Scott.

LuAnn Ferguson:

1 . Do you feel that
upperclassmen should be in-
volved in this program?

Certainly! All perspectives
should be represented
sophomores, juniors, and
seniors - for a well rounded
orientation program.

2. Do you feel that the Big
Sister program is effective?

In many cases, a Big Sister is
the only contact a new student
has had with the campus com-
munity. For many girls, this is
very comforting and good
friendships often result. Of
course, there are always some
indpendent new students who
have no particular need for a Big
Sister, but a friend is always nice
to have. Due to circumstances, a
match is not always perfect, but
everyone should be open to
different personality types. By
and large, the Big Sister program
is effective and necessary

3 . What are your
qualifications for this office?
Why do you wantthis position?

I have served on the Council
for two years first as Secretary
and then as Vice - Chairman. I
have the necessary
organizational skills and en-
thusiasm to do a good job As
Vice - Chairman, I performed the

Chairman's duties for six weeks
while she was in England, and
from this first - hand experience,
I know that I can and want to
serve in this position.

I feel that Orientation Council
has an important role to fill on
this campus by introducing new
students to the College and by
helping them adjust to it. I want
this chance to do my best.

Margaret
Sheppard:

1 . Should Upperclassmen be
involved . . . ?

Of coursel Hopefully,
everyone will be involved in this
year's orientation program. The
Council, however, is mainly
looking for nine responsible
members to fill its leadership
positions. Incoming students
need a council that well
represents the school, and this is
best exemplified by a board con-
sisting of a mixture of
sophomores, juniors, seniors,
and RTC's. Class status is not as
importnat as the ability of the
board to work with each other
and the new students to insure
an effective orientation
program

2. Do you feel that the Big
Sister program is effective?

Judging from this year's

freshmen class evaluation of the
Big Sister Program and from the
large number of returning
students who applied to be Big
Sisters, the program has proven
itself to be effective. In the three
years I have been at Agnes Scott,
the Big Sister Program, and
Orientation Council in general,
has grown to be a more
prominent aspect of campus life.
I feel the program provides for
new students, in almost all
cases, an important initial con-
tact and friend at Agnes Scott

3. Why are you running . . . ?

I believe in Orientation Coun-
cil! As a member this year, I
know first hand the importance
of dedication to an organization
of this board. As an organized
person, I could run the board
both effectively and efficiently.
Dedication to the council is
perhaps best illustrated by the
fact that all three of us running
for the position of Orientation
Council Chairman have chose to
run solely forthis position. I work
well with other people and
believe that I have the ability and
good judgement to choose a
board that would serve the
school in the best way possible.
Orientation Council is a very im-
portant part of this school's
growth and continuation
Please help me in supporting
this expanding campus
organization.

New Officers Elected

by Catherine Fleming

The return of Agnes Scott
students to campus after spring
break marked the beginning of a
new quarter, complete with new
activities, and new res-
ponsibilities. One of the more
immediate responsibilities was
participating in the 1981
Student Government As-
sociation Elections, slated for
Thursday, April 2.

Student body preparation for
this activity was constant during
winter quarter. A list of available
offices was posted, and popular
nominations, held in February,
rendered a roster of candidates,
to be further altered and revised
by petitions and rejections of
nominations. A final ballot was
established in March, and the
student body attended both
mandatory convocations and an
amphitheater dinner in order to
arrive at, by candidate's election
speeches, some final
resolutions.

Mortar Board members took
charge of election day
procedures; setting up tables in
the Hub, watching students vote
and later tallying the votes for
the results. At the Hub party
later that night, past SGA
president Laura Klettner, and

Mortar Board president Susan
Barnes announced the winners,
saving the name of the new SGA
president until last. On hearing
her name called, Peggy Davis
greeted the applause of the
attending crowd with the call,
"Are you ready for a GOOD
year?"

Writer's Fest Held

The Tenth Annual Agnes Scott
College Writers' Festival
featured the Pulitzer Prize-win-
ning poet James Merrill and
some of the largest cash prizes
awarded to student writers
anywhere in the United States.

Merrill, winner of two
National Book Awards and the
Bollingen Prize as well as the
Pulitzer, read from his works and
critique students' literary ef-
forts. Joining him as guest
authors and critics were
Theodore Weiss, founder and
editor of the Quarterly Review of
Literature, and Josephine
Jacobsen, Honorary Consultant
in American Letters to the
Library of Congress.

The winners of the Agnes
Scott Writers' Contest for
College Students received cash
prizes of $100 for the best poem
and $100 for the best short
story.

The Writers' Festival opened
with Mrs. Jacobsen reading
from her poems and short
stories. Weiss, author of a
number of books of poetry, also
read. The three guest authors
served on a panel to critique
manuscripts entered in the
Agnes Scott Writing Contest.
The Festival concluded with the
announcement of the contest
winners and a reading by
Merrill.

Spring Play Cast Announced

by Kim Kennedy

Thomas Babe's Taken in
Marriage will be the next play to
be presented by the Agnes Scott
Blackfriers. It will be performed
here four nights: May 1 5, 1 6, 22,
and 23 at 8:15 p.m.

The two-act play was first
performed in 1979 at the New
York Shakespeare Festival and
had among its performers such
familiar actresses as Meryl
Streep, Kathleen Quinlan,
Colleen Dewherst and Nancy
Marchand.

Dr. Toth, director of Taken in
Marriage, described the setting
as being a gathering for a wed-
ding rehearsal. The five women
present seem to have been
deserted by the men for a time
and while there begin to
examine the truth and loyality in
their relations and attitudes. The
play, in fact, deals with a ques-
tion of truth . The woman provid-
ing the entertainment, Dixie,
who will be played by Marietta
Townsend, serves as the

catalyst for the group. The group
which consists of two sets of
sisters; two girls and their
mother and aunt, will be played
by Leigh Hooper, Andrea
Wofford, Anne Harris, and Lisa
Willoughby.

Dr. Toth describes the play as
being "a probing look at the role
of women in our society. It is like
Uncommon Women in that it is
a self examination. The women
come out better but not neces-
sarily happier."

Music Program Tonight

The Agnes Scott College
Music Department will present
"Fine Music for Sundry
Instruments," a program of
concerto and string quartet
music, tonight at 8:15 p.m. in

Television will be the soloists for
the concertos and cantata.
Music major Maryanne Gannon,
a senior from Stone Mountain,
will play the . Mozart piano
concerto, and Mary Lee Taylor, a
sophomore music major, will

Letter From
The Editor

"Nothing remains the same
but change itself." It's an old
saying, but a true one. When I
discussed changing the mast-
head with the printer, his
comment was "oh, it's the new
regime," suggesting that
change is expected with the
installation of a new editor. The
new masthead calls attention to
the paper and it is probably the
most obvious change. While this
change may seem somewhat
antagonistic toward tradition,
(the college publication
originated as The Agonistic,
was titled The Agnes Scott
News in 1939 and has been
known as The Profile since
1965), it isthetraditionof Agnes
Scott which I wish to emphasize.
I am proud to attend Agnes Scott
College and it istimeto publish a
newspaper that accurately
reflects the college in a profes-
sional manner. Any one who
picks up a copy of the Agnes
Scott Profile should sense what
the true identity of the college is.
The new title of the paper readily
identifies the publication with
the College.

I respect the work and
dedication of my predecessors
and their goals are the ones I
wish to expand. To achieve the
goal of producing a paper that
honestly reflects the College,
news will be more in-depth and
informative, editorials will
regularly concern campus is-
sues, features and sports will
focus on campus personalities
and events, and arts and

entertainment articles will keep
the campus informed of com-
munity and school events.
Rumors on campus will be
investigated; all facts will be
given - there will be no "beating
around the bush." Sections will
no longer be indicated by page
titles. An Undercover box on the
front page will give some of the
contents of each issue.

Support and interest from
staff members and other
students have been very en-
cou rag ing . The staff box I ists the
names of students who have
made a commitment to the
paper. Those who did not
petition but are interested in
working regularly for the paper
should contact me. If student
support persists, the staff can
produce a paper that will be
pleasing to the campus. Of the
three media, the newspaper re-
quires the greatest participation
in order to stay informed. If The
Agnes Scott Profile prints
something YOU (administration,
faculty, staff, parents, or
students) wish to respond to,
please do.

I am a journalist concerned
with truth, accuracy, fairness,
objectivity, and credibility. The
newspaper staff has
traditionally enjoyed great
Freedom of the Press, which for
me, implies responsible
journalism. As new editor, I
promise total dedication and will
always be open to suggestion.

Defining the The issue

by Laurie McBrayer

The features editor of the
Technique (the weekly
newspaper of the Georgia
Institute of Technology) ad-
dressed a significant issue in an
editorial titled "Desperate" (Feb.
27). The title referred to the
writer's situation; deadline was
approaching and he had to write
an editorial. Steve Trani also
titled the article "Desperate"
because he chose to discuss his
despair regarding some of life's
unanswered questions.

The choice of a career is a
decision everyone must face.
Steve recognizes that this
decision revolves around two is-
sues: future salary and job satis-
faction. He tries to argue that job
satisfaction is more important

. . it you don 't have anyth ing to do
with your life besides doing
something you don't want to do,
you're in pretty bad shape." His
specific illustration, blatant

though it may be, was "Making
$3.10 an hour shoveling cow
manure is better than making
twenty thousand a year in

engineering if you have a wild
passion for shoveling cow
manure."

He concludes (with no sup-
porting evidence) that few Tech
students are happy with their
major. However, he still des-
cribes engineering as "an
interesting proposition."
Conversely, he says, 'There's no
reason to stay in a major like
English if you don't like it.
There's no money in it, and it's
likely that if you getthe degree, it
won't do you any good." Sup-
posedly money wasn't an issuel
How many ASC students have
revealed their major to a Tech
student who retorted, "so, what
are you going to do with that?"
It's time for ASCstudentsto sup-
port the value of a liberal arts
education and to cite successful

alumna. Certainly the analytical
minds developed at Scott can
devise an appropriate response
to such a question.

If Steve were an English major
he would have been more
definitive. His argument is weak
and unclear. He suggests that if

one dislikes his major it's better
if the major is engineering than
English, because engineering is
likely to result in a better salary.
His approach to the article was
twofold; he had to meet a
deadline and he wanted to make
a certain conclusion. The
rhetoric leading to the con-
clusion was obviously unim-
portant to him or it would have
been more logical. He is unin-
formed about the benefits of a
liberal arts major. Perhaps he is
desperate because he chose to
go to a technical school, which
eliminateschoices, ratherthan a
liberal arts college which
provides the student with an
array of career choices.

Editor's Note:

The following article dis-
cusses a survey that indicates
that students aren't worldly
wise. In order to dissipate a
lack of knowledge concerning
current events, The Agnes Scott
Profile will feature a weekly
column titled The Weekn in
Review, written by Val Hep-
burn. Although the column can
not discuss daily events
because of paper deadlines, the
articles will discuss past events
that are news highlights.

How much do you know about
the world around you?

Not much, if you're a college
student, at least according to a
recent Educational Testing
Service survey.

The national study put 101
questions on international is-
sues to groups of freshmen and
seniors atfour-yearcolleges and
to two-year college students.
Less than 10% of the freshmen
and two-year students and less
than 15% or the seniors could
answer two-thirds of the ques-
tions correctly

Although seniors did slightly
better than freshmen and two-
year students, all of those
surveyed had a common body of
knoweldge/says Steve Klein of
ETS. Questions on religion and
American or world history
proved particularly difficult, he
says, while health questions
were most often correctly
answe red

Education majors ranked
lowest on the spectrum, while
history majors, math and
engineering students topped the
list.

The Week In Review

by Val Hepburn

The primary focus of national
attention has been on the
attempted assassination of
President Ronald Reagan and
the wounding of three civil
servants. On Monday, March 30,
as the President was leaving the
Washington Hilton after ad-
dressing the AFL-CIO, five or six
shots were fired by the alleged
would-be assassin, John W.
Hinckley, Jr. The President was
wounded by a bullet which
entered the left side of his body
and lodged in his left lung.
James Brady, the President's
press secretary, was seriously
wounded by a bullet which
struck him on the forehead. Two
other men, a secret service
agent and a Washington
policeman, were also wounded.
The 24 hours following the
attempt were moments of great
concern and confusion. Much of
the confusion resulted from
Secretary of State Alexander
Haig's statement: shortly after
the shooting that he was "in
control here." The rest of
Reagan's cabinet disagreed with
this statement, noting that there

was never a time when the
President was in grave enough
danger to have to transfer con-
trol" to anyone. All four men
wounded on "Black Monday," as
it has been nicknamed, are now
doing quite well.

In world news, fears continue
to mount as the prospect of a
Soviet invasion in Poland looms
ominously. Recently the U.S.
State Department said the
Soviets "are capable of moving
at any time." U.S. intelligence
estimates about 20 divisions of
military units from Warsaw Pact
nations (the major portion being
from the Soviet Union) in a high
state of readiness on the
periphery of Poland. Although a
State Department spokesman,
Lamy Weiss reported that Soviet
invasion is "not imminent," ac-
tions are being taken by the U.S.
to prepare for retaliation. At the
moment, it has been said that
the only possible action that
would be taken would either be
stiff economic and diplomatic
sanctions or the arms sales to
China or possibly both.
Whatever the action taken, one
can bet that a Soviet invasion of
Poland to suppress the

independent labor movement
(solidarity) would put
international relations in a very
grave state.

Other events in the national
scene included fierce winds and
tornadoes plagues the
Midwestern states this past
week. Eight people died and 1 25
/vere injured when some 20
tornadoes and 121 severe
storms struck a half-dozen
states.

It seems a 22nd victim in the
Atlanta child murders has been
discovered. This past week in the
Chattahoochee River the body of
Eddie Duncan was found
snagged on debris on the
Douglas County side of the river.
Duncan, although older than all
the other victims (he was 21),
was mentally retarded, a
resident of Techwood Homes
(the housing project where "bat
patrol" had been formed in res-
ponse to the child slayings), and
"was easily influenced by
others." For these reasons,
police say they feel he was a
vulnerable and likely victim.
Police and task force members
still continue the all out search
for the murderer or murderers.

Job Seeker's Hints Available

A new "Job Seeker s Success
Kit," designed to help graduates
"sell" themselves into a new job
easily, is now available from the
Center for Career Development,
Inc., Cincinnati. The author is
Phyllis Martin, a career
counselor who has conducted
more than 50,000 job interviews
for one of the Fortune Top-50
companies. She also served as
the first president of the
International Association of
Career Women. The series on
"job seeking and finding" is now
airing nationally on public
te lev is ion.

In this new kit, Martin des-
cribes a proven plan and the
techniques that help the job
seeker get, in the shortest time
possible, the best job for which
he or she is qualified.

'They teach you how to be an
accountant or welder through
regular classroom courses, but
the traditional education system
doesn't teach you how to get a
job in your field," according to

Martin. "I developed the Kit to
help fill that educational gap."

The Kit is an "Action Road
Map" which enables job seekers
to find the opportunities they
want and then stand out from
other candidates. The basic
premise is that the applicant is
"selling" himself or herself to a
prospective employer.

'To do this, you must bolster
your confidence," Martin says.
"Distilling my experience as a
career counselor, I have worked
into the Kit practical aids to do
this, as well as to gain other
'edges' on competitors for an
opening. With new self-con-
fidence," she says, "job seekers
can cut weeks or even months
off thetime required tofind ajob.
This results in earlier, higher
earnings."

The Kit is divided into seven
sections and covers where jobs
can be found and where to get
the "right" job for you. Included
are "prospect cards, "typical ap-
plication forms, and other action

devices covering resume
writing, etc.

Among the subjects discussed
are: the single best source of job
leads which is often overlooked;
writing and using a result-
producing resume; the "at-
titude" that opens doors; dress
and speech "turn-offs "to avoid;
selling your strong points in an
interview; the 1 6 most frequen-
tly asked and other "hot"
interview questions; subjects to
avoid in an interview; and even
how to handle rejection and turn
it into success. The "Job
Seeker's Success Kit" leads a
job seeker and tests proficiency
on various points.

Free information on the Kit,
which sells for $19.95, can be

Students Praise Externship Program

by Krtsie Bassett

This year 37 Agnes Scott
students have had a chance to
to be exposed to their tentative
careers by participating in the
extern program. The program,
which is coordinated by the
Career Planning Office, allows
the student to spend five
concentrated days with her
sponsor and his or her
colleagues. The students' ac-
tivities during this period may be
as varied as the type of
externships offered. Some
externs participate in actual
daily work, some do special pro-
jects, and some merely observe
all aspects of a field.

Libby Wood, who is in charge
of the program, reports that it is
primarily designed for
sophomores and juniors but
seniors are encouraged to apply
also. Possibly, the most im-
portant aspect of the program is
that students can see and
understand how their courses at

Agnes Scott are preparing them
for their eventual entrance into
the job market. Ms. Wood
-omments, "In every case the
extern experience reaffirmed
the value of her education. In
fact, the most positive aspect of
the program is the confirmation
and utility of their study here."

At its start, externships were
primarily located in Atlanta,
however, this year positions
have been available all over the
southeast and as far north as
New York. This has given
participants not only exposure to
jobs but to other areas of the
country. Since the program
takes place during the first week
of winter break and the week of
spring break, CPO makes every
effortto arrange housing with an
alumna in the area. Thus, the
only cost to the student is
transportation.

Carie Cato, a sophomore,
externed with the head of the ac-
counting department at Middle

South Inc., a public utilities com-
pany in New Orleans. She
observed all dimensions of the
department and was able to talk
with'her sponsor about "anyth-
ing and everything to do with
business." One of the highlights
of her extern was an interview
with the head of personnel. Not
only did she gain experience in
interviewing, but he critiqued
her approach and gave some
helpful hints for future
interviews.

Attending lunch meetings,
calling on clients, and talking to
colleagues of her sponsors,
enabled Kitty Cralle to learn all
about advertising. Kitty externed
with a sales representative at
Textile Industry Magazine in
Greenville, South Carolina. She
said that realizing the different
areas available to her as an
economics/art major was the
most valuable part of her extern.

As a math/economics major,
Angela Drake obtained an extern

Successful Editor Applauds ASC

by Laurie McBrayer

'There are never too many
women-oriented features," said
Ellen Grissett, 77,copyeditorfor
the Family Weekly magazine.
Perhaps she has this attitude
because she graduated from
Agnes Scott College. An English
and Creative Writing major, she
worked on the Aurora staff and
worked as an editorial assistant
at a publishing house in
Nashville during summer breaks
to prepare for a writing career.
"You don't realize what a good
education you receive at Scott
until you graduate," she said.
She said because of her
education she wanted a job in a
stimulating environment. Her
only regret is that she didn'ttake
more courses in the social
sciences area. "Being more
well-rounded would help me,"
she said.

To keep posted on world af-
fairs, she does a lot of reading.
She recommends Esquire, New
York, The New Yorker, Texas
Monthly, Columbia Journalism
Review, and Publisher's
Weekly in addition to the weekly
newsmagazines and daily
newspapers

As copyeditor, she edits
manuscripts and galleys, checks

accuracy of names, dates, and

facts, and writes headlines,
cutlines, and the contents page.
Approximately 12 people work
on the Family Weekly staff. The
staff produces each magazine
one month in advance and has
two deadlines per week. The
hours are 9 am to 6 pm, Monday

- Friday and there is a lot of
overtime, but the benefits, in-
cluding insurance, maternity
leave, free newspaper subscrip-
tion, holidays, and workmen's
compensation are good, ac-
cording to Mrs. Grissett. "It's a
team effort to get the magazine
out," she explained. For her
position, qualifications include
avoiding distractions, working
under pressure, knowing where
to find information and typing.

This month, Mrs. Grissett will
begin a new job in the Publicity
department of the Atlanta
Constitution. She will be writ-
ing ad copy, and will write a
monthly column on the home, in
addition to doing freelance work.
She worked for the ASC ad-
missions office and then Media
Fax prior to her job at Family
Weekly. She was copyeditor for
one year. She explained that the
business has a good policy of
promoting within.

Her liberal arts education and
her extensive reading enable her

to say, "I've read about that,"
when she faces a new as-
signment. Mrs. Grissett often
writes articles for the etc. page
of the magazine.

Her future plans include being
a staff writer or working for an
advertising agency. She said
that she would eventually like to
write a novel.

When ASC freshman Holly
Good changed sections in her
high school orchestra, she made
a decision that lead her to Atlan-
ta's Symphony Hall as a viola
player in the Atlanta Symphony
Youth Orchestra.

Holly began playing the
strings as a violinist but swit-
ched to viola her first yea r of high
school because more players
were needed. She is now in her
fourth season with the Youth
Orchestra which is composed of
high school and college
students. The Youth Orchestra is
a full symphony which performs
both classical and contemporary
symphonic music. According to
Holly, itgives the students an op-
portunity to expand their
symphonic repertoire while still
in school.

Holly has taken private les-
sons from Manuel Diaz of the
Atlanta Symphony since she
began viola. While in high
school, she participated in All-
State Orchestra all four years
and was the principal (first chair)
her junior and senior years. She
also spent a summer at the

Continued on page 6

with the Vice-President of
Corporate Financial Planning at
Coca-Cola in Atlanta. Her week
consisted of touring the com-
pany, attending meetings,
exploring the computer center,
and making contacts for future
references. By talking with em-
ployees of Coke, she learned
about preparing herself for a job,
including courses to take as an
undergraduate, graduate
schools, and graduate programs.

Carol McCranie's extern atthe
Ackland Art Museum in Chapel
Hill, N.C. involved organizing a
new file system, helping the
registrar, and meeting with the
curator and directors of the
museum. Being from South
Georgia, she felt that working in
a different state broadened her
ideas and thoughts concerning a
career.

Eighteen students participated
in the extern program during the
past Spring break. A wide selec-

tion of fields was available in-
cluding law, medical research,
oriental rug sales, social service,
bible study, ocean engineering,
insurance, personnel
management, historic
preservation, government, and
education. All participants were
enthusiastic about their
positions and encouraged others
who want to know more about a
career to take part in the extern
program.

Their participation not only
benefited them but promoted

Tumblin Describes
Passion For Flying

by Scottie Echols

What does one of ASC's
sociology and anthropology
professors do in his spare time?
He flies his own airplane!
Housed at the Stone Mountain
airport, Dr. John A. Tumblin, Jr.
has a four passenger Cessna
170. The plane, bought five
years ago is a 28 year old classic
and has won several awards
while on display at fly-ins,
meetings of those involved in
flying.

Dr. Tumblin's interest inflying
began before World War II when
he wanted to be a pilot but
because of a bad eye became an
airplane mechanic. Starting in
Dvkj early sixties, he took lessons
at the Peachtree-DeKalb airport
to obtain his private license. and
with extra training, Dr. Tumblin
soon obtained his commercial
license. He first rented planes
until he and a group of three men
bought a plane, and ultimately
he bought his own.

With approximately 1600
hours of flying to his credit, Dr.
Tumblin has won trophies in skill

competition which include spot
landings and ribbon cuttings in
the air. The plane is both useful
and pleasurable, for often his
family takes trips where they
camp under the wings, and dur-
ing spring vacation they flew to
Florida for such a trip. In past
Junior Jaunts, he has raffled a
ride for a person and two friends.
Not only has Dr. Tumblin flown
in the United States, but also has
traveled to South Peru, Mexico
and Guatemala. These
expeditions have proved to be
valuable in v i ew i ng
archaeological sites from the air
and photographing them.

Dr. Tumblin describes flying
as "a release when troubled or
tired of people." He feels that
when in the air one is in "a com-
pletely different world" and it is
an opportunity "to do something
non-verbal." While among the
varied group of people who enjoy
this sport, Dr. Tumblin says, "It's
unimportant that I am in the
academic profession because
we all share a common interest
this passion for flying."

College Bowl Competes

by Tiz Faison

Agnes Scott's College Bowl
Team participated in a CBS
Radio Network series of the
nationally known "Varsity Sport
of the Mind" quiz game.

The team, consisting of Ha
Burdette, Kathy Helgesen,
Claudia Stucke, and Lisa
Merrifield, traveled to Florida,
winter quarter, to represent
Agnes Scott in the College Bowl
competition.

The team members usually
answer questions involving their
majors, but also have other
"specialties" Kathy knows

anything about United States'
Presidents, and film, while
Claudia keeps the most updated
on current events. Claudia felt
the team's downfall was in not
anticipating the questions quic-
kly enough. The team did not
place in the competition.

The Emmy and Peabody
Award winning College Bowl
has a long and illustrious history
on television and radio, and on
college campuses The game
pits two varsity teams answer-

Students Aren't Fighting
Student Aid Cuts

ftOCKY HTM.

Congressman Peter Peyser
(D-NY) is doing his best to take
command of the congressional
fight against President Ronald
Reagan's proposed cuts in
student aid, but he's getting the
feeling there's no one in the
stands to cheer him on.

'The big problem we have
right now is that we are not get-
ting a response from students,"
Peyser exclaimed last week in
his Capitol Hill office.

Peyser says that since
February, when he started an
ambitious radio, newspaper and
phone campaign to stir up
student furor over the ad-
ministration's efforts to
eliminate or reduce National
Direct Student Loans,

Guaranteed Student Loans and
Pell Grants, he has received a
paltry 75 letters from students.

"If students are not willing to
respond, their lack of response
will be used against them,"
Peyser said. "People are going to
say, 'What are you so excited at,
congressman? You've got a
couple hundred letters from
students out of 13 million
students. What's the big deal?' "

College presidents and ad-
ministrators are making a bigger
deal of it than students. Besides
contributing volumes of tes-
timony before a house sub-
committee considering the cut-
backs, college chiefs have given
Peyser over 400 letters outlining
what will happen to their cam-

puses if the proposals are ap-
proved.

As many as 750,000 students
may be forced to drop out of
college next year if the cutbacks
are imposed, according to tes-
timony before the sub-
committee.

Peyser dreams of walking
"into committee with 10,000
letters from students not
petitions but letters saying
this is what will happen if these
programs are cut."

He thinks "the problem is that
students as yet don't realize the
impact. But they're going to
wake up in May of this year and
f ind out they may not be going to
school at all. They're going to be
hurt."

Financial Aid Committee

No Need for Panic Announces 8 1 -82 Changes
SaysASC Director

by Phyllis Schemes

President Reagan's proposed budget cuts in Federal aid to
students have caused a great deal of concern on college campuses
across the country. Bonnie Johnson, Director of Financial Aid at
Agnes Scott, explains that there are three proposed cuts which will

affect Agnes Scott students directly:

(1) The Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) program would be
amended by

providing student GSL's on'y for remaining need after other
sources of Federal student aid and family contributions have been
counted (currently a needs test is not required for this program);
eliminating the in-school interest subsidy (the Federal
Government currently pays to lenders the interest on a loan while
the student is in school);

extending eligibility for parent loans to parents of dependent
graduate students and spouses of independent students;
eliminating the Federal special allowance payment to lenders of
parent loans;

allowing lenders to set the interest rate of parent loans at the
prevailing market rate rather than at the current authorized rate of
nine percent; and

allowing up to 20 years for repayment on parent loans.

(2) Pell Grants (formerly Basic Grants) would be amended by

increasing the amount of discretionary income that a student's
family must contribute; and

requiring an annual self-help contribution of $750 from students
except where extreme financial need is concerned.

(3) The Social Security Student Benefit program would be phased
out of existence in four years.

Three points of concern to f inancial aid officers in dealing with the
budget cuts are:

(1) The budget cuts may keep some students from attending
college.

(2) Some students that are able to go on to college may choose less
expensive institutions which may not suit their needs.

(3) There is a great deal of confusion concerning the budget cuts,
and the concern is that Congress does not realize the importance of
keeping students and parents informed.

Mrs. Johnson gives some figures which demonstrate the im-
portance of Federal aid to Agnes Scott. During the 80-81 school year
135 students received Basic Grants. Approximately 125 students
will receive these grants for the 81 -82 school year, amounting to ap-
proximately $120,000 in grants. Approximately 100 students also
received Guaranteed Student Loans. Mrs. Johnson stresses,
however, that there is no need for student panic; the main concern is
for other small colleges which do not have Agnes Scott's strong
financial backing. Mrs. Johnson assures students that Agnes Scott
will make very effort to continue meeting 100% of demonstrated
need, though any cuts in Federal aid would bring financial pressures.
It isn't certain what amount, or combination of cuts will actually be
implemented, but Mrs. Johnson encourages students, particularly
those receiving some Federal aid, to write to their congressmen to
emphasize the need for continuation of this aid.

During recent weeks the
Agnes Scott Financial Aid Com-
mittee has made a number of
decisions that will affect
students applying for aid for
1981-82. 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 in 1 981 -
82 will be in the budget which
the Financial Aid Office projects
for each student. First, tuition
and fees will be increased to $4,-
375 and room and board will be
increased to $1 ,700 to coincide
with actual charges at the
College. Second, the personal
expense budget will be in-
creased from $450 to $500.
Last, boarding students who live
further than 400 miles from the
College will have airfare for
three round trips home to a
maximum of $850 (rather than
$650) included in their budget.
All of these changes reflect the
rising costs that both the College
and students and their families
are experiencing.

Another area of change will be
in the "packaging" of financial
aid awards. The College is com-
mitted to award more aid (as the
costs of education rise) to those
students demonstrating finan-
cial need. All the colleges
subscribing to the College
Scholarship Services of the
College Board have been ad-

vised to expect students to in-
crease their contributions too.
As a result, there will be two
changes in expectations of
students.

First, there will be a summer
earning contribution of $700
expected from freshmen as com -
pared to $500 in 1981.
Sophomores, juniors and
seniors will be expected to con-
tribute $900 from their summer
earnings rather than the $600 -
$700 expected in 1980-81.
These increases coincide with
actual increases in the minimum
wage over the past five years. As
a further extension of the self-
help philosophy, many colleges
are also expecting students to
increase their loan obligations.
In 1981-82, freshmen and
sophomores at Agnes Scott
typically will have $800 loans,
and juniors and seniors will have
$1,000 loans as part of their
financial aid package. Students

will now have eight years to
repay these loans, and interest
will begin to accrue at 8% after
the student leaves Agnes Scott.

Despite this increase in
student self-help expectations,
the loan and work portions of the
financial aid package at Agnes
Scott 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 $2.90 per
hour (for 1980-81 Class I first
year employees) will be in-
creased to $3.10 for 1981-82.

This same increase will be
reflected in the wage scale for all
classifications of student em-
ployees with a maximum of
$3.30 per hour. As in past year,
students will be allowed to
choose whether they work on
campus and/or take a loan to
meet their college costs.

Need Financial Aid?

Need financial aid 81-82? Conscientious and worthy
students clearly needing partial assistance to pursue
undergraduate degree, apply to: CAPE FOUNDATION, Box
21 1 , 550 Pharr Rd., N.E., Atlanta GA 30305.

ATTENTION GEORGIA STUDENTS

First, the good newsl The Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant
has been increased from $600 to $675 for 1981 -82. Governor
Busbee had originally asked for $700 in his budget request,
and the Georgia House has approved $650, but a last minute
Conference Committee compromise resulted in the $675
amount.

Then, the bad newsl Those of you who are applying for aid
should of course be applying for the need-based Georgia
Student Incentive Grant. While funds have been approved for
this program, the formula for distribution of these funds has
not been determined. So Student Incentive Grant estimates in
financial aid packages will definitely be guessimates for a
while longer.

Guarneri String Quartet
Presents Delightful Concert

by B.J. Lloyd

"There is no passion in the
human soul, but finds its food in
music" - George Lillo. Last Mon-
day evening, Agnes Scott
College was presented with a
feast. The Guarneri String
Quartet performed for the
seventh time on this campus
since their debut in 1 965.

Arnold Steinhardt and John
Dalley, violin; Michael Tree,
viola; and David Soyer, cello;
performed three quartets with a
balance and blend found only
with gifted, experienced
performers. There was good in-
tonation and interaction
between the players, and each
showed their soloistic abilities,
as well.

The program was a varying
selection of nineteenth and
twentieth century quartets. The
opening piece, Quartet No. 1 in D
minor by Juan C. de Arriaga is
part of a group of three Quartets
published, in 1824, when
Arriaga was only eighteen years
old. It is a work in four

movements. The movements
range in character from a bright
Allegro movement at first, with
many rich cello passages, to a

graceful Adagio. The third
movement changes pace and
mood between a lilting folksong
and a stately minuet. The final
movement opens and closes
grandly with a quick Allegretto in
the middly.

The second piece, Quartet
Opus 3, by Alban Berg was
written in 1910. Its two very
similar movements have a
melancholy air. They use dis-
sonance and intervals to
concentrate on various notes.
The Quartet written largely in
minor keys and uses many
varied bow techniques to create
the desired affect. The
performance of this Quartet was
an excellent example of the
Guarneri Quartet's technical
abilities, both singly and as a
flroup.

The third piece, Quartet in D
minor, Opus 56 (Voces Intimae),

was composea Dy jean Sibelius
in 1909 and is in five
movements. The Quartet begins
with a quick and delightful
melody which shifts between
players frequently and skillfully.
Often throughout the work, the
second violin and viola will pair
up during some lyrical passages
while the first violin and cello
play runs. The entire piece has a
rich melodic blend. The quartet
ends in a whirlwind and despite
a broken string by the second
violin just before the fifth
movement which had to be
replaced, the musicians main-
tained the intonation, blend and
continu ity at that extremely fast
pace.

It was a very enjoyable even-
ing spent with a quartet of
superb musicians. To the delight
of the audience, the Guarneri
Quartet returned after several
curtain calls to perform the
fourth movement of the Fourth
String Quartet by Bartok as an
encore. The entire movement is
played pizzicato and although it
is quite difficult to perform at a
fast pace, the Guarneri Quartet
did a magnificent job. They are
indeed gifted performers.

Musician cont. from p. 4

Brevard Music Center in
Brevard, N.C.

According to Holly, viola
players are more in demand than
cellists or violinists because
their instrument is not as well
known. She says that she
prefers the viola because of its
intermediate range.

'The viola produces a tone
which is the closest thing to the
human voice," she said. "I like
the range because violins gettoo
high and cellos get too low."

Hours of practice are required
to be proficient in any musical
instrument and Holly practices
on the average several hours
each day. She practices solo
works but spends the majority of
her time on her orchestral
music.

"I like playing in a group," she
said. "I like all types of music, but
chamber music is my favorite."

Holly, who is an ASC Honor
Scholar, says she is still
undecided as to what direction
her career will take. She said
that she would like to go into
music but is also very interested
in Biology and its many areas.

To many, science and music
wou Id seem to be a strange com-
bination but Holly views the two
as being complimentary. "You
have a certain system to use
when approaching a scientific
problem or a piece of music,"
she said. "I tend to approach
music in a more creative asDect

but the two do have things in
common."

Buffett, as always, gave the
audience just what they wanted
- sunshine, drinking and sailing
music. He played all of his
"biggies" and the songs only we
Buffett fans knowand love. Each

song was punctuated by his
quips and humorous anecdotes
(often embarrassing memories
from his past)!

Deborah McColl, a Decatur
girl, was not given the spotlight
she's had previously with
Buffett. She provided her usualy
outstanding backup vocals,
though The other Coral' heerer
Band member that must be ap-

plauded is "Fingers" Taylor - the
man whose harmonica makes
Buffett music what it is.

There were, of course, certain
highlights. "Why Don't We Get
Drunk and Screw?" was an
audience favorite, as was
"God's Own Drunk" (Buddy
Bear). There were moving
moments, too, such as Buffett's
tribute to his daughter, "Little

Miss Magic." Two year old
Savannah Jane toddled onto the
stage for that onel Equally lovely
was the Reefer's second encore.
Buffett didn't sing, but waltzed
with his wife, Jane, to a remake
of the 30's "Stars Fell on
Alaba ma."

All in all, it wasan outstanding
evening of entertainment and a
lot cheaper than a trip to

Tennis Team Winning At Mid-Season

Ms. Messick summarized the
first half of the season. "We are
winning most of our matches by
consistent-confident play in

singles position. Outstanding
records are being set by Sue
Feese(#1), Kathy Fulton (#4),
Sue Mason (#5), and Virginia
Bouldin (#6)."

Doubles play is still

developing. The team is working
toward an aggressive, attacking

game which takes time as well
as perfected skills of volley-
overhead especially, to master.

We are gaining valuable
experience each match and we
will definitely be strong in
doubles by State Tournament."

Feese, Fulton Win
Against Emory

After starting the season off
with a spring break trip to Florida
to gain experience, members of
the ASCtennisteam began their
spring quarter by playing Emory
on Monday, March 30 at home.
Because the Emory team is the
defending state champion,
Agnes Scott's goal in this
particular match was to better
their record against them. This
goal was accomplished thanks
to wins by freshman Sue Feese
and junior Kathy Fulton.

Feese, who is playing the
number one position, upset her
Emory opponent 1-6, 6-4, 6-4.
This was a particularly satisfying
win for her since this opponent
was the 1980 #2 state cham-
pion. Fulton, number four on the
team, won a sound 6-3, 6-2 vic-
tory. Despite an injury on the

Florida trip, she continues to be
heavily depended on by the team
for her consistency and
determination.

Ms. Messick, tennis coach,
also cited number five Sue
Mason as having an outstanding
day. Mason, a freshman, fought
her match to three sets, losing
the match in a tie breaker.

'The team is young this year
and will improve steadily from
each match experience," ac-
cording to Ms. Messick. She
feels, however, that the team
has a lot of talent, tremendous
potential, and great team spirit.
'They are a super group to work
with." Their depth will prove to
be their greatest asset this
season. She encourages the
student body to attend matches
in order to support the team and
the school.

Players
Warm Up
In Florida

The tennis team opened the
1981 match schedule with a trip
to Florida over Spring Break.
While in the Tampa-St.
Petersburg area the players
competed against four college -
St. Petersburg Jr. College,
Hillsborough Community
College, Eckerd College, and the
University of Tampa. Players
who made the trip were: Sue
Feese, Nancy Griffith, Kathy
Fulton, Virginia Bouldin, Sue
Mason, Susan Kennedy, and
Charlotte Ward.

The team rented a beach cot-
tage at Indian Rocks Beach and
enjoyed several hours of sun-
ning and beach combing each
day before heading into Tampa
and St. Petersburg for the
scheduled matches. Although
ASC lost fo Tampa, St.
Petersburg, and Hillsborough, a
6-3 win over Eckerd highlighted
the trip. The return trip from
Florida found a short-handed
team (only 5 players) losing a
disappointing match to Georgia
Southwestern College in
Americus by a close 4-5 score.

Overall, the Florida trip was a
success. Five matches were
played, giving ASC an early start
on the busy spring season. The
experience of playing the strong
Florida teams will hopefully be
measured in improved individual
and team scores. The individual
match experience gained and
the team spirit developed from
the week's travels should com-
bine to make this year's team
stronger and more committed to
a successful season.

federal budget. The boat ramp
and picnic tables at Lake Blue
Ridge will continue to be
available for the public.

Forest Supervisor Pat Thomas
suggests that forest visitors try
to use these developed
recreation areas during the
week He said, "Our developed
camping areas are completely
full almost every weekend. To

get a site for the weekend you
need to arrive early on Friday
afternoon since all the spaces go
on a first-come first-served
basis ."

Thomas also noted that
visitors who don't require run-
ning water, garbage bins, and
sanitary facilities may want to
camp away from the developed
sites. He asked that these
campers watch for signs which
notify them of undeveloped
areas which are closed due to
environmental damage.

Applicants'
Called Su

Fifty-seven girls from twelve
different states, including
Maryland, New Jersey, Texas,
and Arkansas, particiapted in
Agnes Scott 's sp ring prospective
student weekend, "Kaleidos-
cope." 'Thanks to terrific
organization, caring students,
patient faculty, and nice
weather, the weekend went
perfectly," according to Denise
McFall, director of "Kaleidos-
cope" and Assistant to the
Director of Admissions.

A MARTAtrip to the Omni for
ice skating, a campus picnic, the
Glee Club's Spring Concert, a
Bradley Observatory Star Show,
end a Campus Tour were among
the many "Kaleidoscope" ac-
tivities. The most enjoyed event
was the excursion downtown,
which, in Ms. McFall's words,
was designed to "let them see
how accessible downtown
Atlanta is."

Weekend
ccessful

All the participants had ap-
plied, and most have been
accepted. Agnes Scott received
three deposits for next year as
proof of the great influence such
weekends have on interested
students. This year's "Kaleidos-
cope" brought more parents,
almost double the number in
preceding years. A special lun-
cheon was held for parents on
Friday. Although there was a
diverse group, there was a
significant decline in the
number of students from the
northeast, and the far west mos-
tly due to the high costs of
transportation.

Ms. McFall said she would like
to thank Admission's personnel;
SAR committee chairmen;
Susan Mead, the head of SAR;
ASC faculty; and especially, the
"campus community for having
such a warm, caring at-
mosphere." Tiz Faison

from the Shakespearean Revue
and a group of Elizabethan
dancers accompanying Queen
Elizabeth.

Agnes Scott is sponsoring the
revue and fair and other English
Renaissance events in con-
junction with the traveling
Folger Library exhibition
"Shakespeare: The Globe and
The World." The exhibit is on
display in Atlanta at the High
Museum of Art.

T.G.I.F. Held Without Problems

by Kitsie Basse tt

The first TGIF party held this
spring was considered a success
by all involved. There seemed to
be no hint of any of the problems
which caused TGIF's to be dis-
continued this past winter
quarter.

Trudie Cooper, former Social
Council member, summed up
the events by saying that this
TGIF "accomplished what Social
Council had originally set them
up to do. It proved that we and
our friends can be mature and

responsible and, in addition,
have a good time."

Dean Kirkland said that there
were no problems reported to
her and that "not even
maintenance complained of the
trash I" She feels that there is
"no reason why we cannot con-
tinue to have TGIF's as long as
they are well-run and people en-
joy themselves."

New Social Council President
Kitty Cralle said she was very
pleased with the turnout, the

cooperation of the student body,
and the hard work from the
council members." She
explained that there is now a
newquota off ive kegs allowed at
TGIF's. This one only had four.
She also wanted students to be
aware of the Social Council
Suggestion Box in the mailroom
and to give Social Council their
response and feedback

The next TGIF will be held May
1, the day before the Spring
Formal.

Feminist's Film Shown Tonight

by Laurie McBrayer

This evening a film entitled
"The Dinner Party," concerning
Judy Chicago's best - known
work, will be shown for free in
the Buttrick film room from 7 to
8:30 p.m.

The film features "The Dinner
Party" a three dimensional work
consisting of a dining room
table, china and tile floor. The
work commemorates women.

Ms. Chicago explained, "I

thought images on the plates
would convey the fact that the
women I planned to represent
had been swallowed up and
obscured by history instead of
being recognized and honored."
Ms. Chicago describes her work
as a "reinterpretation of the'Last
Supper from the point of view of
women, who, throughout his-
tory, hadpreparedthe mealsand
set the table." She said, "In my
'Last Supper,' however, the

women would be honored
guests. Their representation in
the form of plates set on the
table would express the way
women had been confined, and
the piece wou Id thus reflect both
women's achievements and
their oppressions."

"I firmly believed that if art
speaks clearly about something
relevant to people's lives, it can
change the way they perceive
reality," she said.

Gray Matters

Defining the The issue

'I'm taking this away for an infinite amount of time.

by Laurie McBrayer

Students from Agnes Scott,
Georgia Tech, and Emory helped
"tee off" the Masters'
Tournament weekend by
celebrating with a TGIF party
April 10. The party was
successful. The weather was
beautiful, a good sized crowd
attended, and behavior was ap-
propriate. Social Council
cautiously ordered five kegs (in
contrast to the eight served
January 23) and set this as
policy. This article could stop
here. However, the issue is not

whether or not Social Council
can hold a TGIF without any
problems; this has been done in
the past. The issue instead
concerns the drastic decision
made by the Dean of Students
and Social Council represen-
tatives to ban TGIF parties for an
indefinite period of time. The
party held April 10 was
significant not because it was

the first one of the quarter but
because it represented the
reinstatement of TGIF parties.

Dean Kirkland explained at a
mandatory meeting that the
campus drinking policy was
adopted with the expectation
that students would drink res-
ponsibly. However, the irres-
ponsible students at the Jan. 23
party were not Agnes Scott
students. Agnes Scott students
can not be held responsible for
the behavior of boys they do not

know. At the meeting, Suzanne
Cooper asked why the students
had not been informed about the
various conflicts at TGIF parties
which eventually led to their
suspension. Her inquiry was ab-
solutely warranted. Agnes Scott
students are mature enough to
be confronted with problems
and are able to offer solutions.
This step was omitted. The
status of students was tremen-
dously diminished by thisaction.

Social Council input was not
even necessarily representative
of the entire council. Suspen-
ding TGIF parties for . an
"indefinite" period was like tak-
ing a toy away from a child until
he behaved.

This whole issue may seem
outdated; however, if it had not
been brought up, decisions
might be made int he same
matter in the future. In one
meeting Social Council was able
to make changes in the
operation of TGIF parties to
prevent future problems, fewer
kegs will be ordered and
publicity will be posted only in
places where Agnes Scott
students have acquaintances.
There was no need to cancel the
two remaining TGIF parties of
winter quarter.

In the future students should
be approached about any
problems regarding student life,
before their privileges are
removed.

Behind

Door

Four

by Peggy Davis
SGA President

No, this is not an article about
a game show contestant who
chose the prize behind door
number four over "what's in the
box." Nor is this a critique of the
sequel to the movie, "Beyond
the Door." This is the first of a
year of columns about what is
happening in Rep Council.

Why th is t itle? Four is the door
number of the SGA President's
office. Already, I have spent
many hours behind Door Four -
from sorting out details of my
duties to planning new projects
for Rep. This is not to imply that
all that's done is accomplished
behind this door and only by me.

In fact, Rep Council meets in the
Rep Room and the majority of
decisions take place there. But,
I've grown very fond of this tiny
office. I have had the opportunity
to learn, to worry, to be filled
with hope and destroyed by des-
pair (yes, folks, all in two short
weeks!) - all this behind Door
Four. What I hope isthatthrough
this column, I will be able to
share with you all that happens
outside of and behind Door Four.

One major announcement is
the final elections results.

Which Do You Want?

by T. K. Wannamaker

You have a choice. Because of
student interest, Rep Council is
considering furnishing the Hub
with either a jukebox or an
AM/FM amplifier. After con-
sidering the following in-
formation, which would you
prefer?

Buying a jukebox would be a
great investment - over $1500
worth - and would require
student activity fees supplying
the records and maintenance
needed to keep it in usable con-
dition; therefore, the Council is
considering renting a jukebox for

a trial period of one month, May,
to see how much students will
use it. Jukebox rental, which will
be paid out of student activity
fees, is $25 a week, $1 00 a mon-
th In order to help pay this fee,
playing the records will cost
students a small sum of 10C for
one song, 25C for three songs.

Because the ASC Atlanta
Alumnae Club has donated
$800 to buy a "tangible
(permanent) object" for the Hub,
their donation, instead of
student activity fees could be
used to buy an AM/FM am-

plifier. This amplifier would be
kept in a locked box which would
expose only the volume and tun-
ing knobs and the station dial.
Alumnae Weekend is April
24th-26 by which time Rep
Council needs to tell the Alum-
nae the use of the donation.

Now choose. Will it be the
jukebox or the AM/FM am-
plifier? Check one of the
following.

Please return this survey to
Box 542 by 5 p.m. Tuesday, April
21 .

I would like to see Rep Council use student activity fees to rent a jukebox for a
trial period of one month (May).

I would like to see the donation of the Alumnae Club used to buy an AM/FM
amplifier for the Hub.

I do not want either a jukebox or an AM/FM amplifier in the Hub.

Please return this survey to Box 542 by 5 p.m. Tuesday. April 21

Students Exhibit Characteristics Of 70's

by Marc ia Whetsel

What part will the students of
the 80 's play in society? Will they
follow in the footsteps of their
activist predecessors of the 60's
or continue in the pattern of the
70's and barely make their
presence felt?

For the past ten years,
Americans in the pre-adult age
brackets have been nearly in-
visible compared with their
predecessors. Those predeces-
sors were unique in that they
became the most active and ac-
tivist generation of young people
the nation had ever seen. They
were also, being baby-boom
youngsters, the most numerous.
In terms of both numbers and
aggressive venturousness they
all but dominated the stage of
U.S. social change during the
1960s.

The young in those years did
more than merely hold the atten-
tion of the nation; they became a

national obsession. From
hairstyles to civil rights, the
young made their presence felt
in almost every aspect of
national life. And as the decade
ended they provided the great
body of the visible opposition to
the Viet Nam War. Their activity
peaked in the angry campus
protests that followed the killing
of fourstudents duringanti - war
demonstrations at Kent State
University in 1970, but soon
after the youth moved off - stage.

Theirs wou Id have been a hard
act to follow, had anybody tried.
Asthingsturned out, nobodydid.
In the 70's, with the war ending
and the draft no longer a threat,
youngsters as a whole have not
showed much inclination to give
themselves to public causes
even as voters, let alone as
crusaders.

Students of the 80's show
signs of being more traditional,
more religious, less rebellious

than earlier youths. We also
seem more pessimistic, more
serious, more worldly - wise. We
are returning to private goals,
and of our characteristics sound
like those of adults. With the
economic problems of the
decade, our foremost aspiration
seems to be to get a job that will
keep us going.

Perhaps growing up in the
60's and 70's and seeing such
problems as Viet Nam,
Watergate, and inflation has
made us more serious and pes-
simistic. Or perhaps our
families' growing affluence has
made us more self - oriented. At
any rate, we shouldn't become
so self - concerned and so in-
different toward society that we
fail to even try to change or im-
prove those elements of a
society that are undesirable. We
need to examine our predeces-
sors of the 60's as well as the
70's and try to find a balance or

Ladies. Question: How many

quite ordinary. Unfortunately for
us, they have mastered the art of
presenting themselves as "all -
American guys." Thus, in one
meeting, one cannot always tell
that the jerk is a jerk.

But ah, take heart. Having
pondered the question, I have
reached a brilliant solution. I
suggest that we have an ap-
plication form for any guy who
desires the honor of dating an
Agnes Scottwoman. Smartthin-
king, eh? We could print about
five hundred thousand of the

things, for starters, and place
them at the hostess desks and in
the Dean of Student's office.
Now really, I've given a great
dealofthoughtto itgals, andthis
seems to me the best possible
solution.

Now you ask what might such
an application include. Well,
certainly, qualifications depend
upon the woman, but here, I can
suggest a few.

First, of course, we need vital
information such as hair and eye
color, height, and weight and
age. And in these days, ladies, I
think it is safe to have a line for
marital status as well. (One can't
be overly cautiousl) Now, I,
myself, think a picture should be
included. (You know how guys
exaggerate from time to time.)

But we can discuss that issue at
convocation when we vote on
the "standard form." I might
add, too, that I am a firm sup-
porter of references. Three from
former girlfriends should be suf-
ficient.

As anyone who is not a jerk
knows, good conversation is a
must even on the least decent of
dates. Thus, we might have the
old chap write a line or two on

what he would like to talk about
on a date. If he mentions vectors,
drosophila, or the Flintstones
we'll know to dump him. To
make sure he's intelligent we

them let the "101" freshmen
check for comma splices and
sentence structure. That would
be great practice for them I think.

might require a longer essay on
a topic such as "My Respect for
the Liberal Arts Education." We
could send these essays to the
English Department and have

It is wise, I think, to have two
standard forms. One for the gal
who just wants a nice night out
and a second for the gal who has
more long - range goals. Should
the f irst, after a few dates decide
she really likes him, she can

then easily have him fill out the
second form. One nice thing
about these forms is that they
can be kept on file for easy
reference. As for ladies who are
already married, I trust that you
are happily so and will provide
you infinite wisdom at our dis-
posal.

Now, some people will want
different things on their forms
and that's okay. Some, for exam-
ple, might want a complete lis-
ting of his former girlfriends and
their phone numbers. Others
with really serious intentions
may desire to know of his

domestic skills. Can he wash
dishes, sweep, iron and cook?
Does he do windows? Although
money is absolutely the
fartherest thing from our minds
in choosing "Mr. Perfect,"
ladies, of course, we must be
practical. Thus inquiry into his

assets should be considered.
Perhaps even a request for a
copy of h is tax forms and a listing
of his major credit cards might
not be too much to ask. After all,
we are ANES Scott women and
so, I think there is no sacrifice
too great.

Well, that is my proposal.
Come on ladies. Let's get to
work. The good men of the world
suffer long while we tarry.
Here's to the women who are
menless. For those who prefer
to play the outfield and those
who have to because they just
keep striking out, LET US NOT
SUFFER THE AGONY OF
DEFEAT ANY LONGERI

median between the two
extremes.

To bring the issue closer to
home, let's examine the A. SC.
81 elections. Holding an office in
one of the many organizations
here at Agnes Scott not only is a
way to gain valuable leadership
experience, but also Is a way to
show that you are interested in
the way these organizations are

run. First of all, I simply could not
believe it when I saw that no one
had run for fifteen offices, in-
cluding major positions of
leadership such as: AA
President, President of Hopkins,
Walters, and Inman, Junior
Class President and, especially,
Honor Court Chairman. True, the
academic load here at Agnes
Scott does not allow every
student to be a member of every
organization, and probation
eliminates possible cnadidates,
but surely the interest and the

leadership ability for these of-
fices is out there somewhere.
Don 't let Agnes Scott fall into the
pattern of the 70's.

Secondly, let's examine the
voting turn - outforthe election.
According to Susan Barnes,
President of Mortar Board, 358
students voted. This is almost
three - fourths of the student
body and is certainly above the
national percentages for the
1980 Presidential election.
Susan said that the turn - out
was better than it has been in
several past years" and was
probably due to the excellent
publicity provided. We can give
ourselves a pat on the back for
this part of the election, but we
should ask ourselves why 1 5 of-
fices had no candidates.

Are we falling back into the
static pattern of our predeces-
sors of the 70's?

Decorated Hub
Deserves Praise

by Socttie Echols

We really owe Laura Klettner
and Rep Council a vote of thanks
for working to improve the looks
of the Hub. Our mostexciting ac-
quisition was the new carpet
(estimated wholesale value
$4000) absolutely freel Mr.
Warren Sims, vice - president of
Philadelphia Carpet Company - a
division of Shaw Industry,
worked out the donation of the
carpet. Laura reports that Mr.
Sims' wife, Anne Jones Sims,

graduated from Agnes Scott in
1953 and six women in the
Shaw family also attended the
college. Therefore, with these
connections to Scott, those as-
sociated with Shaw Industry
wanted to makea contribution to
the refurbishing of the Hub.
After talking to Laura, Mr. Sims
sent samples of different colors
from which to choose and,
through his generosity, we now
have an attractive building.

Derivatives, Fractions Cause Anxiety

by Kitsie Bassett

A recent Career Planning Of-
fice newsletter reported that
"according to a federally funded
survey, girls screen themselves
out of 3/4's of career op-
portunities before they even get
to college because they drop
math." This comes as no
surprize to Return to College
senior Margaret Shirley, who is
a psychology major doing an
independent study concerning
math anxiety.

The chief symptom of math
anxiety is math avoidance ac-
cording to Ms. Shirley. A
student's attitude toward math
keeps her/him from learning.
Her research involves looking at
factors which might make a
student avoid math and thus
develop math anxiety.

These factors range from early
childhood experiences in the
classroom to myths, such as
boys traditionally do better in
math than girls. She hopes
through her research that she
can destroy some of the myths
which surround math.

influenced by outside factors in
making decisions. Internally
controlled people make
decisions totally on their own.

Ms. Shirley believes that her
research may show a relation-
ship between math anxiety and
external control. The second test
given was a math anxiety skill
test. The students answered
questions about math related
items such as: does calculating

This Friday hundreds of alum-
nae will descend upon the
Agnes Scott College Campus for
Alumnae Weekend. Director of
Alumnae Affairs, Mrs. Virginia
MacKenzie,saysshe expectsap-
proximately 700 of ASC's former
students, from as far back as the
class of 1899 and as recent as
the class of 1 980, to join in the
three-day weekend activities.

About 50 of the alumnae will
be joining the College at its
English Renaissance Feast
scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. in
the Evans Dining Hall. The
Renaissance Feast is a part of
Agnes Scott's year - long
Renaissance Festival
celebration

On April 25, alumnae and

Dana Pro fessorof Music, and Dr.
Robert Hyde, Assistant Profes-
sor of Phvsics and Astronomy

will deliver a combined lecture
and musical presentation ap-
propriately called "Music of the
Spheres."

Classes that graduated in
years ending in one and six and
the class of 1 980 will gather for
photographs, elections and just
plain old conversation as they
participate in reunion activities.
The Alumnae Association will
also hold its annual meeting
where President of the College,
Dr. Marvin B. Perry, will deliver
greetings to the campus visitors.
Three outstanding alumnae,
Mrs. Marybeth Little Weston
('48), Mrs. Mary Ben Wright
Erwin ('25), and Mrs. Laura
Brown Logan ('31), will receive
special awards.

Following the meeting will be
the "Parade of Reunion
Classes." Alumnae will march,
according to graduating class,
down Buttrick drive and to the
ampitheatre where they will
gather for a luncheon for alum-
nae and current and retired
faculty of the College.

Other events scheduled for
Saturday include a dessert for
the class of '31 at the home of

President and Mrs. Perry, an
alumnae authors' Coke party
with alumna author Catherine

Marshall, author of A Man
Called Peter and her husband,

Leonard LeSourd, editor of

The difference in how men
and women are affected by math
anxiety is one aspect that
interest Ms. Shirley. She says
that a study done at Georgia
State revealed that the biggest
factor in choosing a major was
math. Also the higherthe level of
math study, the less women are
found studying it. Ms. Shirley
believes that math anxiety is
socially learned. For instance, it
is harder for a man to admit that
he does not like math because
he thinks he is supposed to do
well in it. A woman likewise may
be afra id to admitthat she enjoys
math because it traditionally has
been man's field.

Ms. Shirley nas been working
on her independent study all
year and hopes to present ner

research to psychology majors in
May. While she has enjoyed her
work, she says the hardest part
has been getting people to take
her tests. She has always liked
math and developed an interest
in math anxiety her freshman
year at Agnes Scott when she
"listened to people sob out loud
during a statistics test." She said
she feels that RTC's suffer the
most pain and despair in math
because they may have no
background at all in math or it
may have been years since they
have approached the subject.

Ms. Shirley hopes to get a
chance to continue her research
in math anxiety. She has been
accepted at Georgia Tech as a
graduate student in experimen-
tal and general psychology
where she will work toward her
doctorate.

Visiting Professor
Discusses Law

by Peggy Schweers

Visiting Professor Todd Evans
is sharing his experience as a
politician and lawyer to teach a
course on Legal Systems in the
United States for the Political
Science Department.

Originally from Houston,
Texas, Mr. Evans attended
Princeton University for
undergraduate work and Stan-
ford for a dual Master's degree in
Business and Law. His
experience in politics includes
time as a congressional staff
aide to Andrew Young.

Evans spent several years
practicing law. Two years ago,
he exchanged that for a bid for
the State Senate. He was
elected and now represents the
Downtown area of Atlanta as
well as some of the surrounding
areas (37th District). Since the
job of State Senator is a "part -
time" job, Evans teaches at Clark
College in the Fall.

The course Mr. Evans is
teaching, entitled the U. S. Legal
System, is a scan of various

technical knowledge of law, us
ing the trial of John Hinkley as

aspects of law in the United
States. He plans to cover

an example of court procedures.
Also, the course will cover legal
relationships from the local to
federal level, ethical and
philosophical relationships,
managerial considerations and
finally, the emotional roles
played by members of the legal
system.

Mr. Evans feels that his works
as a State Senator has con-
tributed to his depth of teaching
because of h is access to current
bills and legislation. On the
other hand,teaching provides an
opportunity to remain constantly
in touch with related in-
formation as well as basics.

What Do You Do With A Liberal Arts Major?

"The continuing faith of
students in credentials, and an
anxiety fueled by a worsening
economic situation seemed to
givea newsenseof urgencydur-
ing the 1970's to a familiar,
haunting question put to liberal
arts faculty by prospective
studnets. What do you do with a
Liberal Arts major?'", reports Dr.
Edward Orser, chairperson of
the American Studies
Department, the University of
Maryland - Biltmore County.

"To UMBC's American
Studies Faculty the students'
concern suggested an important
tension between the world of
school and the world of work. In
an attempt to see how well the
program prepared students for
the 'outside world,' to gain in-
sight from students' feelings
about their undergraduate
studies, we asked our graduates
in 1 974 and again in 1 979 what
they had done with their
education, and how they viewed
the relationship between their

program at UMBC and their work
since.

"Responses to the ques-
tionnaires provides solace to
those fearing prospects of mass
joblessness; 88% in each survey
reported they had found fulltime
paid employment. Finding a job
might be one thing, finding a
satisfactory job antoher. The
response to the question
whether they had secured the
kind of job they wanted also was
encouraging; 80.8% of the 1 979
sample said they had.

"The 1974 figure had been
somewhat lower - 69.7% - the
difference perhaps partly at-
tributable to the fact that the
earlier survey included a larger
proportion of recent graduates
over the first five - year period,
while the 1979 survey spanned
a ten - year frame, providing a
longer period from some to
locate satisfactoyr jobs.

"What relationship should
there be between the liberal arts
major and the job market? What

Social Council Plans
Spring Weekend

The new Social Council is
already busy planning social
events for this Spring and next
year. One of the council's main
goals this year is better com-
munication with the entire
student body. To help in achiev-
ing this goal, a suggestion box
has been placed in the mailroom

so that students may voice
constructive criticisms and new
ideas forthe council to consider.
Periodically these suggestions
will be printed in the Agnes Scott
Profile for the student body's
conside ration . Also, Friday, April
24 at 1 1 :30 in Rebekah Recep-

tion Room Social Council will
present a Brainstorming Con-
vocation. Everyone is invited and
urged to attend in order to offer
ideas, opinions, and discussion
in regard to the social life at
Agnes Scott.

Plans are underway for a Spr-
ing Weekend May 1 and 2. a
TGIF on Friday, May 1 will kick
off the weekend, followed by a
Bloody Mary party on Saturday,
May 2. A dance at the Atlanta
Hilton at which the second of
May will perform will culminate
the weekend activities. Look for
more details next week in the
Agnes Scott Profile.

Women Aren't Leaders
At Co-ed Schools

Why has the president of the
Student Government As-
sociation been a male since
1970? Why are there so many
males in the top leadership roles
at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro when
over 7,000 of the 10,000
students here are female?

These are some of the ques-
tions that the Board of Trustees
wanted answered when they re-
quested in July 1979 that then
Chancellor James Ferguson ap-
point a task force to study and
promote women's leadership on
this campus. The Task Force to
Study and Promote Women's
Leadership Skills, after almost a
year of intensive investigation,
submitted a report to Chancellor
William Moran.

Dr. Mary Abu-Saba of the
Counseling Center serves as

chairperson of the 14-member
task force. The committee ob-
tained data from the Office of
Institutional Research and made
a computer search of literature
about women and leadership.
Whatdidthis information reveal.

According to Abu-Saba, "We
found women are doing but men
are up front being seen and get-
ting power. The pattern reflects
the general societal one, where
women do not assume and are
not given the lead."

According to the report,
"Women are often taking
leadership positions where co-
operation is called for, but not
where competition is called for."
In interviews, students
expressed interest in developing
a system of networking which
would provide support for
women seeking elective and
nonelective office.

kinds of expectations do
students have about the kind of
preparation the world of school
ought to provide for the world of
work? Graduates were asked if
they saw any connection
between their decision about
their undergraduate major and
the kinds of jobs they had
sought.

"Here, the 1979 response was
generally affirmative, though a
number expressed reservations
- 35.5% said 'yes,'41 .3% 'some,'
20.2% 'very little,' and 6.7%
'none.' The responses indicated
that a substantial percentage of
the graduates did feel their
undergraduate liberal arts study
was of value to them in their
workexperience,even if in an in-
direct way.

"We also asked what they felt
the undergraduate liberal arts
major program ought to provide
its students regarding the matter
of 'work,' and what they felt the
program had provided them.
Again, the 1974 and 1979 res-

ponses were in very close
agreement. While several res-
pondents tended to reject the
idea that liberal arts ought to
provide students a specific
background for employment
(only 1 3.6% took this position in
1979; 5.3% in 1974), most
(62.1% in 1979; 68.4% in 1974)
answered that the major
program "ought to help prepare
people for dealing effectively
with the question of em-
ployment after graduation.

"When asked what the
program had provided, a
substantial portion (43% in
1979; 31 .6% in 1974) said it
could have done more to help
students deal with thisquestion.
Some felt that opportunities for a
double major in a professional
field, such as education or social
work, had helped in this respect,
while others mentioned field
work experiences as valuable.

"A number of respondees
warned that liberal arts
programs shou Id resist the pres-

sure to become too job -
oriented. As one respondent, a
computer analyst, put it: 'Where
once 'college - educated' in-
dicated a person of breadth and
scope in perspective, now it only
denotes number of hours in
professional skills. We are sadly
lacking in renaissance people.'

"Whatdoyoudowitha Liberal
Arts major? is a question faculty
are not likely to stop hearing.
Students will continue to be
keenly concerned in the 1980s,
and liberal arts programs must
respond sensitively and
creatively to those concerns
However, perhaps the mosi
heartening result of the
American Studies survey was
the indication thatgraduates no1
only are finding employment but
that many of them have found
very satisfying and creative
jobs."

The Weeh In Review

The first winged space craft
designed to land on earth like an
airplane was launched Sunday,
Aqril 12. The space shuttle, the
Columbia, marked the return
after nearly six years to the
manned space program. The as-
tronauts John Young, (a Georgia
Tech graduate) and Robert
Crippen were launched into
space at 7 a.m. Sunday morning
after a three day delay from the
planned April 10 departure. The
delay was due to computer
problems.

The Columbia was in flight ap-
proximate ly 54 1 /2 hours before
its scheduled touchdown last
Tuesday, on a dry lake near the
Edwards Air Force Base in
California. The launching of the
Columbia represented a number
of firsts; It was:

- the largest manned
spacecraft ever launched. It can

carry seven astronauts in
normal flight; 10 in emergency.

- the first winged spaceship.
The shuttle is shaped somewhat
like a fat airplane.

- the first spaceship to carry
human crew on maiden voyage.

- the first manned spaceship
launched with solid rocket
boosters, an added launching
convenience.

- the first spacecraft to ride
piggyback on its main fuel unit,
and

- the first reusable spacecraft,

A recently released report
from the Rand Company reveals
that domestic oil supplies are at
the bottom of the barrel. The
study states that it "is likely that
more than half of the conven-
tional petroleum reserves that

will ultimately be produced have
been produced." Political Scien-
tist Robert Nehring who works
for the privately based research
group said he feels "we can
probably keep up to current
levels for 1 5 to 20 years." After
that he predicts an important
restructuring of political and
social structures from the im-
pact of the declining production
of our most consumed resource.

Another body linked with
Atlanta's murdered children
case has been found, that of
Larry Rogers. This brings the
total number of deaths to 23,
though two more children are
still missing. For the first time,
police have a concrete lead
regarding a man who is wanted
for questioning, although only a
sketch is available at this time.

Class of '85 Expects Aid

Almost six out of every ten
high school seniors who expects
to go to college next fall say they
want some sort of federal finan-
cial aid to help them enroll, ac-
cording to a survey done by the
National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES).

The results of the survey were
announced as Congress was
debating President Ronald
Reagan's proposals to cut some
$9.2 billion from federal finan-
cial aid programs, including
student Social Security, work -
study, Guaranteed Student
Loans, National Direct Student
Loans, and Pell Grants.

More than a third of the
seniors who plan to register for
college in fall said they would
depend on a Pell Grant. Under
the Reagan plan, most students

would have to pay $750 toward
education in order toqualify fora
Pell Grant. The maximum grant
would be lowered to $1200 from
$1750.

Thirty percent of the seniors
wanted to sign onto the College
Work - Study Program, while 1 1
percent planned to apply for an
NDSL

In a II, 58 percent of the seniors
who graduate this year and plan
to go on to college want some
form of federal financial aid.
Seventy - six percent expected
aid from federal, state or other
programs.

Next fall's freshmen,
however, are the least likely to
get aid. Awards are being
delayed by U. S. Department of
Education Secretary Terrel
Bell's March decision to hold

financial aid applications until
Congress decides whether or
not to implement the Reagan
financial aid changes.

In an informal survey by
College Press Service, many
financial aid officers expected
schools will be forced to make
temporary loans to students in
the fall. In the loan process,
"already - enrolled" students
will be favored, predicted
Joanne Eberle of Lehigh
University.

The NCES findings were
gleaned from a survey of 28,000
seniors at more than 1 000 high
schools.

quarter of 1981 .

She discussed how she plans
to spend her time, "I had applied
for a grant from NEH (National
Endowment for the Humanities)
to study folk dance in the lower
Flint River Valley. This is the
area west of the Chattahoochee
River and east of the Flint River,
extending as far north as the
joining of the two rivers and as
far south as the state of Florida."
Since she has not received this
grant, her study of this area will
be limited by funds. She will be
the Director of Indigenous Folk
Dance Forms with the state of
Georgia.

"My main body of concen-
tration," she says, "will be
around the metro Atlanta area,
where I will study international
folk dance forms." She adds,
'This does not preclude my
working with folk dance forms
indigenous to the Flint River
Valley." In Atlanta Ms. Darling
will be studying "the changing
and evolving new dance form
precipitated by Twyla Tharp."
She says that, 'This particular
dance idiom has not been given
a name and I'm not quite sure
that Twyla Tharp is aware that
she has started a new dance
form, it is something that just
happened." What Twyla Tharp
does, according to Ms. Darling,
is use "1930 s and 1940s
musicals that have been movie
sound-tracks (such as '42nd
Street') and juxtaposes them

with this new form of dance that
combines ballet, jazz, and
modern."

Ms. Darling will begin her
studies in the fall because dur-
ing the summer she will be
attending the second annual
Body Therapy Workshop at Duke
University. This workshop in-
volves the study of "neuromus-
cular and idiokinetic disciplines
juxtaposed with dance." Ms.
Darling says, in conclusion, "So,
I think with all that, I'll be busy!"

Temporarily replacing Ms.
Darling as Agnes Scott's dance
teacher and director of the
Studio Dance Theatre will be
Agnes Scott graduate and
former Studio Dance Theatre

member Laura McDonald, who

Music Dept. Presents
Evening Of Fine Music

by B.J. Lloyd

Last Monday evening the
Music Department put on what
was definitely an evening of Fine
Music - for Sundry Instruments.
The smallorchestra with various
solo performers began the
program with the First
Movement: Allegro from Mozart
Piano Concerto, K459.
Maryanne Gannon was the
soloist. The piano solo was
executed quite well and there
was a nice blend between the
piano and the orchestra. The
First Movement is a pleasant lit-
tle piece with a happy melody.

The second selection, Vivaldi
Cantata "In Turbato Mare Irato",
featured soprano soloist
Marybeth Kouts. She has a very
clear voice with a facile range.
The beautiful Vivaldi melodies
provided excellent orchestra
back - up. The orchestra stayed
together well without the aid of a
conductor and the sections of
the cantata flowed well.

The third selection was the
Fourth Movement: Presto from
Haydn. String Quartet, Op. 20
#4. It featured Mary Lee Taylor
and Jody Taylor - Harris, violin;
Holly Good, viola; and Rod
Bangston, cello. It is a pretty,

quick little piece with a jaunty
melody. There was good blend

and intonation and the violin
players, particularly Mary Lee
Taylor, handled the quick pas-
sages well.

The final selection was the
First Movement: Allegro - Largo
- Allegro from Mozart: Violin
Concerto K218, featuring Mary
Lee Taylor, violin soloist. It was a
very melodic piece and Mary Lee
performed very well. She
produced a beautiful, clear tone
and showed excellent technical
abilities, particularly during the
cadenza.

It was a very enjoyable even-
ing of student performances.
The orchestra included: Lisa
Merrifield, Lori Bailey, flute;
Dianne Byberg, oboe; Lynn
Stonecypher, Sandy Howard,
bassoon; Jean Cole, Laura Led-
ford, horn; Mary Lee Taylor,
Hannah Griffin, Jennifer Dolby,
Jody Taylor - Harris, Linda
Pinner, violins; Holly Good, Alice
Levine, viola; Rod Bangston,
Daniel Penner, cello; Tracy Wan -
namaker, bass; Beckie Lowrey,
harpsichord.

Jacobson

Speaks

by Catherine Fleming

The Agnes Scott Writer's Fes-
tival 1981 opened with Ms.
Josephine Jacobsen, Honorary
Consultant in American Letters,
Library Congress, as con-
vocation speaker. Ms. Jacobsen
first visited the Agnes Scott
Campus eight years ago, for the
inaugurational ceremony of
President Perry.

The President, in his in-
troductory speech, devoted a
moment to recognize a new
source of funding for the
Writer's Festival, a trust fund be-
queathed by the late trustee
Mary Wallace Kirk. The fund, to
be named after her parents,
James T. and Ella Kirk, is in sup-
port of literary and art activities.

President Perry introduced
Ms. Jacobsen as an author,
critic, and poet. He remarked,
"She looks at life with realism
and clarity, yet with the com-
passion, instinctive sensitivity
and grace of a born lady, dealing
with the agony and stress of
human hearts.'' After the in-
troduction, Josephine Jacobson
took the floor.

Slated to give several readings
from her works, Ms. Jacobsen
wryly commented that she
wished that she could "play the
trombone or juggle or
something" to offer her
audiences some variety. Despite
this observation, the selected
readings were diverse enough to
captivate any audience.

A discussion of the entertain-
ing aspects of reading the dic-
tionary underlined the inn-

pointed him as Music Director in
1971 , and that same year Time
magazine called him "the
hottest young conductor
around."

Thomas has recorded for CBS,
Deutsche Grammophon and
Angel. His albums of
Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and
Tchaikovsky's "Winter
Dreams" Symphony were
among the Boston Symphony's
best-selling records.

In 1979, Thomas resigned his
post with the Buffalo
Philharmonic so that he could
accept more invitations from
symphony orchestras and opera
companies around the world.
Since then he has made his
debut with both the Berlin
Philharmonic and the
Concertgebouw Orchestra, and
has returned to London for
engagements with the
Philharmonia Orchestra, the
BBC Symphony and the London
Symphony Orchestra.

Myung-Whun Chung was
promoted to the position of As-
sociate Conductor of the Los
Angeles Philharmonic in July
1 980, after having served as the

Orchestra's assistant conductor
since September 1978 as a
participant in the Exxon/Arts
Endowment conductors
p rog ra m .

Mr. Chung has been a
performer from the time he was
seven years old and appeared as
piano soloist with the Seoul
Philharmonic in his native
Korea. His family moved to the
United States to enable him and
his sisters to continue their
musical training. In New York,
after graduating from the
Mannes School of Music where
he took a double major in piano
and conducting, Mr. Chung
enrolled at the Juilliard School
as a conducting student.

He has won many prestigious
competitions, including the
Silver Medal atthe International
Tchaikovsky Piano Competition
in Moscow in 1 974. This season,
in addition to his assignments
with the Philharmonic, Mr.
Chung's schedule includes
guest conducting the London
Philharmonic, Scottish National
Orchestra, Stockholm
Philharmonic, Montreal, Ottowa
and Toronto Symphonies.

protance of becoming familiar
with words in a poetic sense. In a
humorous tale told by the
authoress, a man deserted on an
island found so much pleasure
in his daily perusal of the dic-
tionary that when the rescue
boats came he was loathe to go
home.

For a poet, words are trade
tools, and one must feel familiar
with their varying degrees of
use. Ms. Jacobsen pointed out
the negative aspects of choosing
the "poetic object": "Poetry is
flawed by trying to guild the ac-
tual lily, or by trying to deal with
the perfection of some item."
She emphasized that the poet
must destroy perfection, in order
to create from its ashes a
successful literary work.

Ms. Jacobsen 's selected
readings were taken from her
more recent poetic works. A lis-
ting of her readings follows:

"Chinese Insomniacs" marks
a Chinese poetic tradition of
characters who lived, loved and
existed at night.

"Condejary Blues", which
was read despite the absence of
"Snare Drums" notes the ease
with which poverty is discussed
in our society.

"Motel in Troy, New York"
celebrates the "mysterious
moment in which myth is born".
Ms. Jacobsen explained that she
began writing the poem in
Walters Hall, where she had
stayed as a guest, and continued
writing it in the north until itwas
published in Chicago.

'Tears" and "Border" led the
poetess to consider the printed
poem a "naked and vulnerable"
article, and "Food" depicted an
Eskimo hunt for sustenance that
was a way of I ife until 1 2 or 1 5
years ago.

During hershort presentation,
Josephine Jacobsen revealed
the different sides of her
personality. Sensitivity and
humor, seriousness and
serenity, are all a part of what
makes this poetess an annual
favorite at Agnes Scott College.

Kyung-Wha Chung is one of
the most sought-after soloists
with leading international
orchestras and in recital at the
world's greatest concert halls.
The International Herald
Tribune has written about her,
'The mostimmaculate, the most
profoundly musical, the most
utterly enchanting performance
it has been my pleasure to hear."

Born in Seoul, Korea, Kyung-
Wha Chung studied with Ivan
Ga lamian atthe Juilliard School.
She was the winner of the 1 967
Leventritt Competition, followed
by successful engagements in
recital and with the leading
American orchestras. Miss
Chung has appeared many times
on television in several coun-
tries. The BBC made a one-hour
documentary film about her and
United filmed her performance of
the Mendelssohn Concerto in
concert with the Chicago
Symphony and Sir Georg Solti.

Miss Chung's 1981-82
engagements in the U.S. include
concert performances with the
New York Philharmonic,
Philadelphia Orchestra,

Cleveland Orchestra, and the
San Francisco Symphony

Weiss, Merrill
Read Works

by Colleen Flaxington

Theodore Weiss, the interes-
ting and delightful poet, foun-
ding editor of Quarterly Review
of Literature and Professor of
Creative Arts at Princeton,
treated a medium - sized group
of facu Ity and students to a read-
ing of his poems last Wednesday
afternoon. The audience found
Weiss a charming personage
and the reading had the at-
mosphere of a friendly dis-
cussion. Weiss, who selected
and read his poetry in quite an
organized manner, introduced
each piece with informative and
humorous remarks.

As a preface to the poem
"Barracks Apartment 14",
Weiss spoke of creating images,
commenting that sometimes br-
inging together an image is a
process of several years.

As introduction to his poem
"As You Like It", Weiss claimed
that it is not so important to
focus on the fact that one poem
may engender another, but that
the poem is (in fact)engendered.

To conclude the session,
Weiss read from some of his

"poems in the making," remark-
ing that poets often like to share
a recently written work to prove
that they still are poets - (saying
facetiously,) "When are you a
poet? Only when you're making
a poem."

James Merrill, one of the
guest writers participating in the
Agnes Scott Writers' Festival,
read selections from his works.
His outstanding works include
"Braving the Elements," which
won the Bollington Prize in
1973, and "Nights and Days,"
which brought him his first
National Book Award in 1967.
On April 8 he read from "Divine
Comedies," his 1977 Pulitzer
Prize winner.

At this reading the winners of
the Writing Contest were an-
nounced. Agnes Scott Return to
College student Jane Quillman,
'81, received the $100 Poetry
Prize for her poem 'The Old
Masters", and Carol Colbe, '81,
also a Return to College student,
shared the $100 Fiction Prize
with a University of Georgia
student for her story, "A Scent of
Guilt."

Tanning Tips To Prevent Wrinkles

Each spring we see numerous
students with problems related
to sun tanning. The sun is the

single factor most damaging to
the health of your skin. In
medical terms: "elastosis" isthe

irreversible loss of elasticity, the
visible result of sun damage to
the skin. Wrinkles, commonly

considered signs of aging, are
90% solar damage. The use of
appropriate sunscreens can

prevent solar damage to the
skin, while still permitting the
skin to tan. The following in-
formation may be helpful in your
pursuit of a tan, while preven-
ting problems related to sun
exposure.

Sun Screens: Sunscreens
containing 5% QABA, such as

Sunbrella, Pre Sun 8, Eclipse 10
will screen out only short ultra -
violet rays or "burning rays"
which cause sunburn, skin

cancer, wrinkling, and aging. It
will not screen out long ultra -
violet rays or "tanning rays"
which darken the pigment in the

skin producing a tan or freckles.
Sunscreens containing 6-10%
Benzophenones, such as Pre
Sun 15, Eclipse 15, Uval will
screen out both wave lengths.

Midday Exposure: Avoid
exposure at least from 10 a.m.
until 2 p.m. solar time (adjust for
daylight savings time) when the
sun's short ultra - violet rays are
at their peak. Though the sun
may seem as brightat 4 p.m. as it

does at noon, the burning rays
are considerably reduced.

Acclimating: Make your
initial exposure to the sun brief,
then gradually increase it. Limit

exposure on the first day to 15
minutes. If you don't burn, you
can increase 12-15 minutes a

day to 30-45 minutes per day.
When you can tolerate 45
minutes a day, you're probably
ready to extend that time
without ill effects.

Cloudy Day Burns: Don't be
misled by an overcast sky. Some
of the worst burns occur on days
when the sun isn't shining
brightly. Burning ultra - violet
rays will penetrate a cloud cover,

haze, and fog.

Water: Ultra - violet rays
penetrate water. Even if you
spend the entire day immersed,
you can still go home with a
burn.

Medications: Some drugs
cause an increased sun sen-
sitivity. Examples: Tetracycline
(an antibiotic frequently used to
treat acne), birth control pills,
certain diuretics, and sulfa
drugs.

If You Do Burn: Even if you
are careful, you may get a light
burn. Aspirin or Tylenol and cold
compresses will help relieve the
discomfort. If you get a severe
burn or have questions, please
feel free to call or come to the
Student Health Center.

Dancers Prepare
For Performances

Studio Dance Theatre will be
performing in several upcoming
events They will perform in the
Renaissance Review on
Thursday, April 23 at 8:15 p.m.
in Gaines Chapel. The following
day, April 24, they will perform
at the Renaissance Fair. In con-
junction with the Renaissance
Festival, SDT will perform during
the Lecture Series at the High
Museum of Art in Atlanta on
Sunday, April 26.

On April 30 and May 1 the
Studio Dance Theatre will give
its Spring Concert in Gaines at
815 p m. Ms. Darling has

choreographed the finale, called
"Glory Train," a "spiritual
medley" based on her research
on black folk dance forms in
Georgia.

Seven ASC students have also
choreographed dances for the
Spring Concert: Sarah
Campbell, Nancy Childers, Ann
Conner, Gay DeWitt, Tobi
Martin, Beth Shackleford, and
Mary Ellen Smith. During the
show, the student
choreographers will be judged
by a panel of three, who will
present an award to the student
with the best choreographed
piece.

Co-Ed
Volleyball
Planned

by Katy Esary

Students interested in playing
volleyball on the weekends
could be the starting point for co
recreational sportswith Emory
and Georgia Tech according to
Professor Kate McKemie.

A group of students who hac
expressed their interest in form
ing a volleyball team met to la>
the groundwork for such a pro
ject. According to Miss McKemie
who is coordinating the project
the group will meet each
Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. on the
athletic field to play volleyball.

She stressed that everyone is
welcome regardless of their skill
at the sport. She said that the
volleyball team is an experiment
to see if there is student interest
n weekend sports.

The last co - recreationa
sports events at Agnes Scott to
occur on a regular basis were
approximately six years ago ac
cording to Miss McKemie. She
said that if there is enough
student interest in the volleyball
experiment, the possibility of
expanding into other sports in
which men could participate is
foreseeable.

We've done this before and
had a lot of fun," said Miss
McKemie. 'The first thing is to
get some volleyball games going
and see if the students are
nterested in inviting some of the
guys over to play. This is just one
of my ideas and I'd like some
feedback from the studnets."

"Volleyball is a good co -
recreational activity. We play
with mixed teams and have a lot
of fun. I hope we have a good
response to the meeting next*
^ednesday," she said. y

Chaucerian Expert To Speak

Distinguished Chaucerian
critic E. Talbot Donaldson will
examine the handling of the
character Cressida (Criseyde)by
Geoffrey Chaucer and William
Shakespeare in a lecture at
Agnes Scott College tonight. Dr.
Donaldson, critic and Professor
Emeritus of English, of Indiana
University, will lecture at 8:15
p.m. in Buttrick Hall Film Room
G-4.

Though the spelling differs,
Cressida and Criseyde both refer
to the beloved of Troilus, prince
of Troy during the Trojan War,

and a female literary tiguresince
medieval times. According to the
Reader's Encyclopedia of
Shakespeare, Cressida
(Criseyde) "came to be regarded
as the archetypal prostitute in
English literature." In his play

Behind Door Four

by SGA President
Peggy Davis

Slowly but surely, Rep Coun-
cil's work is beginning to slow
to a normal pace and my desk
top is finally in sight. You
should be proud that you have
such a dedicated group of
women representing you I
feel very fortunate to be able to
work with them.

Jody Stone and T. K. Wan-
namaker spent much time
investigating the Council's
recommendations for usage of
the $800 donation from the
Atlanta ASC Club Alumnae.
After a lengthy discussion (and
you wondered where the
excitement was on Tuesday
nights), Rep voted that the
donation be used to purchase
furniture for the T. V. Room in
the Hub. Thanks to the alum-
nae, the entire Hub may be
renovated by next year. Get in
touch with your representative
if you have any suggestions on
how to make a complete
student center out of the Hub.

Also, the new SGA Com-
mittees have been selected.

They include: Library Com-
mittee - Tobi Martin (ch) and
Susan Zorn; Lecture Com-
mittee - Mary Jane Morder
(ch), Sharon Johnson, Carol
Jones, Claire Smith, and
Maggie Taylor; Independent
Study Committee - Jennifer
Shelton (ch) and Bonnie
Etheridge; Catalyst - Marjory
Sivewright (ch), Denise Leary
(vice - ch), Kitsie Bassett,
Ginger Lyon, Susanna
Michelson, Patti Pair, and
Marty Woolridge; and Con-
vocation Committee - Sharon
Johnson (ch) and Nancy
Childers.

One special notice - any
student organization or
academic department should
get in touch with Sharon
Johnson to make
arrangements for a chapel or
convocation.

Remember that Rep meets
every Tuesday nighc at 6:30
p.m. and that you are welcome
at any meeting. Don't forget to
fill out and return your Parietal

Gray Matters

Defining the issue

"One day when Henny Penny
was scratching among the
leaves, an acorn fell out of a tree
and struck her on the head

'Good gracious me!' said Henny
Penny. The sky is falling! I must
go and tell the king.'" Henny
Penny was joined by her friends

Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky,
Goosey Loosey, and Turkey
Lurkey, on her journey to visit
the king. Unfortunately, all were

eaten by Foxey Loxey and never
seen again. The conclusion of
the story reveals that "... the
king has never been told the sky
is falling." *

How many of you recall this
children's story? I couldn't help
remembering it when one of the

Corrections

The Agnes Scott Profile

publisher acknowledges the
following mistakes: the
headline on the front page of
the last issue should have read:
"Agnes Scott to Celebrate
Shakespeare with Fair;" the
word "the" should not have
been printed twice in the title of
my column.

Apologies go to Ellen Fort
Grissett 77, who works for
Atlanta Weekly, not Family
Weekly, to Cathleen Errett
who was not recognized with a
byline for submitting the article
about tanning, to Martha

Sheppard and Scottie Echols
whose names were
misspelled, to Burlette Carter
whose article was not printed
in the correct sequence, and to
the campus community for
other errors. The staff does the

paste - ups for the paper. This
was not done previously and it
requires that an increased
amount of time be spent work-
ing on the paper. Indeed
typographical errors and other
mistakes harm the reputation
of the paper. It is my hope that
sim ilar errors will not appear in
the future. Thank you to
everyone for the support and
compliments I have already
received. Editor

ceiling tiles in the dining hall fell
and landed only afoot awayfrom
me, during Sunday dinner last
quarter. At first I thought it might
be a natural cause also, but the

weather was fine that day.
Before one of my friends or I am
injured by a ceiling tile, I think it
is imperative that the ad-
ministration be informed about

this incident. Several tiles on the
south side of the dining hall have
fallen and have not been
replaced.

In G-25 Buttrick there isa hole
in the ceiling approximately 36"
by 12". Two tiles are missing
and have been missing since
winter quarter; I have had two
classes in this room and frankly

am afraid the public relations of-*
fice furniture might fall through
one of these days.

The College does an admirable
job of keeping up the grounds
and buildings; however, these
problems have been overlooked
for quite some time now. These
holes need to be fixed
immediately. Visitorson campus
will not be impressed when they
see these areas that need to be
repaired.

Students who are concerned
about the appearance of Agnes
Scott College should take the
responsibility of informing the
Administration of any areas that
need to be restored.

Technique Articles Criticize Liberal Arts

Editor's Note

The article by Steve Trani is
reprinted from the Technique,
Feb. 27 issue. This is the article
to which I responded in the first
issue. The other article, written
by Bob Spratnik is reprinted from
the Technique, April 17 issue.

The article was written in res-

ponse to my first column;

however, the writer did not read
that column. The last fourth of
the article is not reprinted
because it concerned the In-
trafraternity Council - clearly
another example of a Tech
student's inability to organize an
article under one theme. The

remarks in the article reveal the
writer's inability to support a
theme with concrete evidence
and logic. I would like to aive the

Agnes Scott campus community
the opportunity to read these
editorials conscientiously and to
respond with tact, intelligence,
and facts. Letters to the Editor

are due Wednesday at 2 p.m. My
intention was not to create in-
creased tension between the
students at Georgia Tech and
Agnes Scott, but to command
respect for the liberal arts
education. I am pleased,

however, that someone off cam-
pus has been affected bv an is-

sue raised in The Agnes Scott
Profile, and has responded
(although notresponsibly)tothis
issue. According to the DeKalb
News Sun, this week is
'National letter writing week."
So, get out you r pens and paper,
write an appropriate response
and observe this SDecial week at
the same timel

Desperate

by Steve Trani

In the most desperate times, the most desperate
ideas pop into someone's head.

Th is is a desperate time. Any time when it's (look at
the clock) 9:33 on layout night and there's an editorial
to write is desperate. The desperate idea tonight is
what am I going to do with the rest of my life.

Majoring in engineering offers an interesting
proposition. If you're majoring in English and you
don't like it, you get out of it. It's simple. There's no
reason to stay in a major like Eng lish if you don't like
it. There's no money in it, and it's likely that even if
you get the degree, it won't do you any good.

However, engineering is a little different. If you're
majoring in engineering and don't like it, you always
have the option of sticking it out, taking your dippy
twenty thousand a year job and hoping you can stay
drunk enough to not realize what you're doing.

Very few people at Georgia Tech are actually happy
with what they're doing. The closer they come to
graduation, the more they say things like, "Look, I
know engineering is dull, but what else am I going to
do with the rest of my life?"

The answer is "Do what you want." Making $3.1 0
an hour shoveling cow manure is better than making
twenty thousand a year in engineering if you have a
wild passion for shoveling cow manure. Of course, if
you have a wild passion for shoveling cow manure,
you'll probably do just fine as an engineer.

This column is becoming too serious. I'm not the
type of person to be sitting around moaning about
how horrible life is and how screwed up everybody
else is. As a matter of fact there are some people out

Bob Spretnak

Hearsay

by Bob Spretnak

Around a week ago, Agnes Scott College's
newspaper (I think it is called the Profile, but lave
never actually seen a copy of this thing and therefore
this editorial is indeed being written from total
hearsay) contained a scathing attack upon a close
persona I friend and colleague of mine, who in real life
is a very nice person, Steve Trani.

He called an editorial "Desperate" and it ran in the
February 27 issue of the paper. It was a harmless th-
ing that began with one of those sickening tirades of
"gee, it's late, I'm drunk, I've got an editorial to write"
that make the both of us sick, but it quickly got around
to making apoint about the values of a practical, i.e.
engineering education (remember I'm a management
major) over the liberal arts curriculum of an Agnes
Scott.

The point was small, but it nevertheless was a
point. What he said was that it didn't really matter
whether or not you enjoy being a liberal arts major,
what matters is that you are not going to get a job
anyway . That was it. Even if you read the editorial, you
may well have missed it because it was stuck
immediately atthe beginning of a column which went
on to discuss the merits of the writer's life at this point
in time and other such things which are not pertinent
to our discussion.

As farasthe Scottie editorialist was concerned, you
might as well have told her the Queen of England was
bisexual. Her vitriolic attack all but questioned Mr.

Seriously Folks..

there who love engineering and think it's definitely
the career for them. There are also some people who
press pencils into their left ear until they come out
their right ear. There should be some intersection
between the two groups.

In this world people are finding it more and more
acceptable to say "screw it all. "An idea like this isthe
natural thing to grow out of a society that idolizes
things like existential writers. However, it's one of the
most useless ideas ever to find a following. The
people who offer advice like screwing it all are the
people who don't realize how depressing living their
own advice is.

Life is the type of thing that you have to find a
reason to participate in. The whole reason for living
may be finding a reason to put up with life. Some
people never find a reason, but the people who are
worse off are the people who don t have a reason and
never bother to look for one.

This works back to engineering somehow. I hope I
figure out how before the conclusion pops up. Oh, I
see now. Going into engineering when it's not what
you want to do is the type of thing a person who
doesn't have a reason for living and doesn't want to
bother to look would do. Let's face it, if you don't have
anything to do with your life besides doing something
you don't want to do, you're in pretty bad shape.

Ah, here'sthe conclusion now. This isn'tthetype of
thing you're likekly to see on an editorial page, and it
is the type of th ing you're likely to look at as a bunch of
crapola. Still, it is a point of view, and I think it's as
relevant ot Georgia Tech student as athletic fees and
studentgove rnment candidates. Then again, maybe it
isn't.

Trani's parentage over what wassuch a small point in
such a long-winded editorial.

The reaction was typical Scottie strong pride
sharply contrasted with a trademark apologetic
inferiority complex. Although most of those history
and English majors work as hard attheirstudies as do
the typical mechanical engineers, they know it will be
rough for most of them to get anything but a husband
with their B.A.'s. Certainly more great minds have
flowered from Tech men than from the debs and near
- debs of Scott after all no one associated with the
space shuttle program holds an art history degree
from a small, single - sex private college.

Many Scott women have gone on to become huge
successes and the students there are probably as
proud and are as familiar with these women as we are
with our space shuttle commanders. There is most
certainty more to life than a ChE degree, but then
again liberal arts must find more grounds upon which
to base their pride than simple persecution of their
masses. Yet despite the heroines and their 1 :50 ratio
with Tech, there are still, more than likely, more total
Agnes Scotties than Tech students attending college
to find a spouse. Until that statistic is erased or at
least evens out, the toughness of the education will
not matter and Scott will remain a source of bad jokes
with Tech students looking down their noses at the
school towards the east.

I hate to do this, right as I reach my editorial climax,
but I need to change the subject.

by Burlette Carter

Phyllis Sch lafly has said some
pretty stupid things in the past,
but her recent comments before
the Senate Committee on Labor
and Human Resources have got
to take the cake. The Committee
was holding hearings on the
Equal Employment Opportunity
" Commission's guidelines on
sexual harassment when Mrs.
Sch lafly delivered her own
version of the "Com-
Tnandments" in testimony at the
hearing. Arguing in support of
revisions in the EEOC's
guidelines, Mrs. Schalfly implied
that those women who are
sexually harassed are so
because they aren't virtuous
women, i.e., they invite trouble.

As quoted by the April 22 issue
of the Atlanta Constitution

(p.4B), Mrs. Schalfly delivered
the following stunning
comments: "When a woman
walks across a room, she speaks
with a universal body language
that most men intuitively
understand. Men hardly ever ask
sexual favors of women from
whom they are certain the
answer is no. But she con-
tinued, "Virtuous women are
seldom accosted by
unwelcomed sexual
propositions or familiarities,
obscene talk or profane
language." Furthermore, ac-
cording to the Constitution, she
argued that EEOC guidelines are
"unjust because they penalize
the innocent bystander, the em-
ployer, for acts over which he
has no control ..."

For the life of me I can only
think of three ways that Mrs.
Sch lafly could bestow upon us
such infinite wisdom with such
certainty, unless of course, she's
taken a trip to Mount Sinai
recently, wh ich'l doubt because I
haven't heard of anyone over

there complaining. The first way
that she might know of the trials
of the "innocent bystanders" is
that she has done extensive
study on th is matter, which I also
doubt, since 'tis her fashion to
spout off at the mouth when she
doesn 't know what she's talking
about. The other way is that she
is a "reformed non - virtuous
woman" and speaks from

experience, drawing from what
evil deeds she, herself, hasdone
in the past. I cannot comment on
the truth of this possibility
except to say that if it is true she
should "speak for herself." The
third way that she might have
such knowledge is that she is
really a man and has been fool-
ing us all these years. Certainly,
that would explain her support
for EEOC revisions and her
comments on the issue. Okay,
maybe I've gone a bit far, but so
has Mrs. Schlafly in her
comments which should
incense feminists and non -
feminists alike.

Schlafly gives us the "if you
get raped, it's your fault" story
with a twist, and I'm pretty tired
of it. I am sick and tired of her
showing up at rallies and com-
mittee hearings in her "Pro
Family" guise. Who's cooking
dinner and watching the kids
while she's out minding
everybody else's business? Put
ERA aside for a moment. That is
not the issue here. The issue is
that many women do suffer from
sexual harrassment on the job.

And they don't gave to ask for it
to get it. Schlafly's recent
comment is indicative of her
"holier than thou" attitude
which would irk me beyond
toleration, except that I don't
think her worth that much
trouble.

According to the Constitution a
report issued from the
Washington - based Center for
Women Policy Studies es-
timated that during 1979-80 ap-
proximately 18 million women
were sexually harrassed on their
jobs. These women do not need
Phyllis Schlafly to define the
term "virtue" for them, or tell
them when they do or do not fit
the definition and neither do
any other women. Harrassment
is harrassment. If my Bible
studies serve me well the keeper
of the gate is St. Peter not St.
Phyllis.

I am still trying to decide who
should receive my "Idiot of the
Year Award." Right now it's a tie
between Phyllis Schlafly and our
favorite man from Tech, Bob
Spretnak.

Modifications Regarding Probation Reported

by Laurie McBrayer

The Administration and
Faculty made two changes
effective this quarter, regarding
academic probation. According
to Dean Julia Gary, the
modifications were made in the
students' best interests.

The first change is that
students will be placed on
probation at the beginning of the
new quarter, following the
quarter in which she did not earn
enough hours. This allows
students to enter summer
school or to transferwith a clean
record. The example Dean Gary
supplied was that a sophomore
"B" student with 83 hours at the
end of spring quarter rather than
the required 84 hours, would
have a clean record until fall;
then she would be placed on
probation at the beginning of
that quarter. If the grade point
average is low, probation begins
at the end of the quarter in which
low grades were earned.

The second change was an ad-

dition that says if it is obvious
that a student cannot earn "a
total of 30 quarter hours of
academic credit by the end of the
session," she will be placed on
probation.

The faculty handbook states:
"Academic Probation is a status
resulting from unsatisfactory
academic work. It serves as a
warning to the student that her
work must improve. A student
whose work continues to be un-
satisfactory may be subject to
academic dismissal."

To be in good standing next
quarter, students must meet the
following minimum standards:
freshmen must earn a .50 GPA
or pass 10 hours of work. The
three upper classes must pass
10 hours of work and earn the
following GPA: sophomores, .75
G.P.A.; juniors, .91 G.P.A., and
seniors must have earned a
cumulative 1 .0 G.P.A. on a 3.0
scale. Return-to-college
students must pass "two-thirds

of the work for which she is
registered." The number of
hours required to advance to
another class is as follows:
sophomore, 36 hours; junior 84
hours; and senior, 132 hours.

Dean Gary explained that the
requirements become more
strict because the school
expects students to raise their
grades as they progress in
college. To graduate, a student
must have a cumulative 1.00
G.P.A.

Students placed on probation
do not have the option of volun-
tary class attendance, they are
allowed only one unexcused
absence in each course. In ad-
dition, they may not hold elected
or appointed offices; they may
not participate in any performing
group, and they may not
participate in intercollegiate
athletics.

At the conclusion of each^
quarter, Dean Gary, Dean Gue
Hudson, Dean Mildred Petty and
Ms. Lea Ann Hudson, registrar,

review each student's records
and make a list of students that
should be placed on academic
probation, according to the res-
trictions. They compare lists to
catch any oversights and then
make a master list. The Com-
mittee on Academic Standards
may recommend that a student
be dismissed. Only the Ad-
ministrative Committee may ask
a student to leave. Student
members of this committee do
not attend meetings when such
cases are discussed. If a student
is placed on probation for three
consecutive quarters, her
grades and a latter are sent to
her parents and to her, sugges-
ting that she does not return and
advising that she look for a less
demanding college.

This spring the breakdown of
students on probation is as
follows: 1 senior, 11 juniors, 6
sophomores, and 3 freshmen.
Two freshmen were dismissed
at the end of winter quarter.
Dean Gary said that the number

of juniors is unusually large and
that students were aware of this
because of the elections.

Dean Gary said that the listsof
names a re not made public. Only
professors, with students
enrolled in their class who are
on probation, are aware of the
student's status. This is because
students do not have the
privilege of voluntary class
attendance. According to Dean
Gary, many students are on
probation because their class
attendance was erratic. Dean
Gary Said, "A student has the
right to choose, but she must
accept responsibility for her
choices, just as an adult does.
Part of being a mature student is
knowing your own limitations."
She explained that it ought to be
a conscious decision when a
student assumes a res-
ponsibility such as an office or
job in addition to the academic
load,which "mostdo admirably"
she said.

Student Competance Assessed in Wisconsin

Milwaukee, Wis. - (I. P.) -
"How We Understand

Assessment" at Alverno

College. (Excerpted)

"Once we had come to see our
purpose as helping each student
develop her abilities we needed
to ask not simply What does she
know?' but What can she do
with what she knows?' This led
to more difficult questions than
the traditional paper-and-pencil
testing methods could probe.

"No longer could we rely on
seeking right answers, or asking
for repetitions and
reformulations of memorized in-
formation. Our assessment
techniques would have to
challenge each student to show
her developing abilities in the
best and broadest manner of
which she was capable.

"As these understandings
grew, we took hold of three
terms that helped to summarize
and guide what we were
learning. Our assessments had
to be. as nearly as we could
make them, generic,
developmental and holistic."

Generic "The student
competences themselves are
generic, rather than simply
specific to a task or situation.
They are attributes or
characteristics of the student
herself While they are learned
and demonstrated in specific
settings, these generic abilities
can be transferred and modified
to a variety of situations

"Because of the generic
nature of the abilities we are
teaching for, therefore, our
assessments can and must be
both external and multiple Both
these qualities help to insure
that the ability a student
develops in a given learning

situation is a part of her personal
repertoire, and that she can

exercise it in varying contexts.

"Externality appears in
several ways. The criteria used
to assess for a g iven competence
level are developed outside the
particular course setting and
adapted for use in the actual
assessment. Assessors often
aredrawn from outside theclass
and off campus. When the
student and instructor perform
as assessors, they do so with a
certain role distance from their
initial involvement in the
exercise.

"Multiplicity occurs in re-
quiring a single ability to be
validated in several settings, and
in the constant use of multiple
viewpoints - instructors and
faculty co-assessors, off-cam-
pus assessors, peers and self-
assessment. The use of multiple
assessments gives the student
the opportunity and the
obligation to seek certification in
a variety of settings. In addition,
she always has at least two
sources of judgment (herself and
another assessor) and often
several, from a variety of
backgrounds."

Developmental: "We also
understand competence in
developmental terms. This
means not on ly that competence
levels are sequenced in a
progressive learning pattern, but
thatwe use assessment itself as
a teaching tool We do this by
making assessment techniques
and criteria public and explicit
and by presenting the results to
the student immediately and in
detail in a structured feedback
situation.

"At the beginning of each
course, the instructor spells out

the course goals in the syllabus,
including the competence levels
a student may be ready to
demonstrate as a result of the
course experience. In the
syllabus, the instructor relates
the particular materials and as-
signments to the course goals.
The syllabus also specifies the
assessment techniques that will
be used, and enumerates the
criteria upon which the
students' work will be judged.

"Whether or not she elects to
attempt validation duiing the
course, each student receives
ongoing assessment. This gives
both her and her instructor a
diagnostic view of her learning
progress. As soon as possible
after each assessment, the
student receives detailed feed-
back on her performance in
terms of the overall course goals
and specific criteria set forth in
the syllabus."

Holistic: "The third defining
concept we recognized as we
developed our assessment
process is the holistic nature of
the competences. We have
analyzed them into levels and
component abilities in order to
make them manageable for
affective teaching, learning and
assessment. Yet we realize that
the competences are, in reality,
inseparable parts of the whole
person. Taken together, they
answer the first question we
asked ourselves about out-
comes. What kind of person,
with what characteristics, are
we seeking to develop?'

"The sequential levels of the
competences are therefore
cumulative in both experience
and assessment. Each level
builds upon and includes the
prior levels, and the student has

frequent opportunity to further
evaluate and refine abilities for
which she has already been
validated. Indeed, we constantly
coordinate our instructional ef-
forts to ensure that this
automatically occurs

"At the same time, learning
and assessment look forward
beyond the level at hand. In each
course or individual learning
experience, and in each
assessment situation, we
attempt to el icit from the student
the most advanced performance
of which she is capable.

"The unlimited possibilities

for exhibiting competence are
even more evident at the ad-
vanced levels. Here the student
helps design or select highly
complex assessment situations,
often in professional or other
field settings, which challenge
her abilities to their fullest. The
criteria by which the student's
performance is judged are
necessarily specific to the level
for which she is seeking
validation.

"But with precise observation
as a basis, the assessor can
move in feedback beyond the
level at hand to discuss the
broader implications of the
student's performance."

Suggestions Offered
For Good Grades

Radford, Va - (I. P.) - Dr Angelo Gadaleto, director of the
Counseling Center at Radford University, believes "students
must plan and be committed to short-term and to reach long-
term goals" for good grades. "I firmly believe every student
here is capable of being successful when using the right
techniques, including time management, motivation, andself-
control. A positive attitude is especially important."

Dr. Gadaleto offers these questions to those who are having
difficulty making the grades they want:

1 - Do I have a time-management plan?

2 - Do I set aside specific study times each day (including
some on the weekend)?

3 - Do I study in areas conductive to studying?

4 - Do I attend ALL classes?

5 - Do I read assignments BEFORE class?

6 - Do I re-read notes the same day I take them in class?

7 - Do I have a task schedule (a list of what must be com-
pleted and by when)?

8 - Do I encourage friends to study?

He feels that his "seven P's'are important for academic
success. Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor
Performance, he believes, is the basic foundation for good
grades. He also feels that the use of a tutor can mean the
difference between passing or failing a course for some
students

Professor Carter Continues
Botanical Study with Project

Professor Eloise Carter discusses her investigation of the
divergence of flowering time of two distinct species.

by Scottie Echols

Last summer Prof. Eloise
Carter began a study of Talinum
(Portulacaceae) investigating
the divergence of flowering time
of two distinct species. Gather-
ing 200 plants of each type
located on granite outcrops in
Alabama and Georgia andgrow-
ing them at Emory, she studied
their different morphological
characteristics. By looking atthe
plants' range of habitats, Mrs.
Carter compared the
populations that occur together

with those populations where
only one species occurs. Her

main interest was thedifference
in the flowers and the daily
patterns of flowering time,
"investigating the possibility
that the two species compete in
the region where they overlap in
distribution."

On April 9-11 Mrs. Carter
attended the meeting of the As-
sociation of Southeastern
Biologists in Knoxville,
Tennessee, to present her paper

on this current area of research.
With a time limit of ap-
proximately ten minutes, she
reported that the plants oc-
curring separately and together
are visibly different, in a work
entitled Divergence of Flower-
ing Time in Talinum

(Portulacaceae). Her trip also
included a visit to the Great
Smoky Mountains for some
study of their ecology and his-
tory. Mrs. Carter plans to con-
tinue her research next summer

Poet Jacobsen Grants Personal Interview

by Catherine Fleming

Keeping a 9 p.m. appointment
for an interview after a fully
scheduled day with the Writer's
Festival Committee had no
adverse affects on Josephine
Jacobsen. She greeted me atthe
door in an attractive striped
dress, and with a warm
welcome.

Her writing career seems to
have always been a part of her.
"I started writing as a child. You
might not remember this title,
but St. Nick's was a popular
magazine for the young. I
published a poem in it when I
was 11 years old, and I have
written ever since.'' Ms.
Jacobsen continued that her es-
tablished professional careerdid
not begin until she was 50 years
old.

Ms. Jacobsen primarily con
siders herself a poet, and secon-
darily a short story writer. "I've
written short stories for the past
ten years. Asa matter of fact, the
Baltimore Sun was redoing its
op-edpage .. ."(I had to interrupt
at this point for clarification of
this unfamiliar term.) "Op-ed is
that page opposite the editorial
page carrying short stories,
feature items, and poems," she
explained. "Well, the editors
asked me if I would workon that
page, and I said, only if I was not

too closely bound to schedule.
Now, I've been doing one a
month for years. I love the
freedom of expression that it
gives me, although I tend to stay
away from topics like politics. My
work ranges from the light-
hearted to very serious, and the
discipline I gain is a reward. I
must remember as I write that
the newspaper audience is on a
different plane, and it is a
challenge to so direct my work."

I asked her what she felt was
the most important contribution
that poetry had made in her life.
"Oh, that is a very difficult ques-
tion." She placed delicate
fingertips together, carefully
choosing her words. "The most
important gift," she concluded,
"is that one never comes to the
end of discovering. The feelings
that come when your poetry and
writings 'happen' are always
strong. Communicating feelings
to others is an enduring and
constant joy."

The topic turned then to
female poetsof ourera. "Ittooka
long time and a lot of hard-driv-
ing talent, but there are now a
great number of distinguished
women poets, increasing
especially within the past ten
years." Changes in social at-
titudes are greatly responsible
for the increase in the successes

Woman Awarded
Research Grant

Hanover, N.H.-(I.P.) - Diane
Knappert, who in June should
become the first woman to
receive a Doctor of Engineering
degree from Dartmouth
College's Thayer School of
Engineering, has been awarded
a $25,000 research grant by the
International Harvester Corp. to
pursue her research in produc-
ing fuel from renewable
resources for the nation's
energy future.

She is one of six students
throughout the nation, and the
only woman, chosen from 177
applicants representing 88
colleges and universities. The
fellowship awards were based
on written proposals submitted
by graduate degree candidates
and approved by their faculty
dissertation advisors.

Ms. Knappert has developed a
method for pretreating
substances containing cellulose
so that glucose (sugar) can be
extracted much more quickly
and cheaply. Working with Hans
Grethlein, a professor of
engineering at Thayer, Knappert
began her research early in
1977. Professor Grethlein
suggested that she concentrate

her effortson increasing the rate
of cellulose conversion to
glucose which is done by using
enzymes from a fungus. The
working hypothesis was that by
using dilute acid to pretreat
materials containing cellulose,
the rate of enzymaticconversion
would increase. "Now we have
to find out how the method
works," Knappert said.

of women in literature. 'The
lingering attitudes of female
poets writing 'sewing circle
poetry' was definitely not con-
ducive to the career of women
writers. Life experiences were
also constrained. There was not
as much exposure to different
activities, with no outside jobs,
and not much traveling."

The diverse quality of Ms.
Jacobsen's works displayed the
creativity and talent of today's
women. Animal Inside,
published in 1953, marked what
she considered to be a turning
point in the flavor of her poetry.
"Until that time, I had been writ-
ing conventional poetry, much
more restrained work. With
Animal Inside, I opened out as I
took in more experiences." The
collection was filled with poems
celebrating animals, plants,
trees, and other factors in the
physical living world. Of this
group, "Sea Fog" impressed Ms.
Jacobsen as one of the most
meaningful. "When in a
situation of isolation, in which
you are disconnected from all
thatyou know, as thecharacters
are in this poem, everything
changes. Perspectives shift and
grow."

A Walk With Raschid, her

most recent volume of poetry
and prose, contains a short story
involving the same theme. ['Nel
Bagno" describes a woman
who, wh ile wa iting for her taxi to
the airport, locks herself ac-
cidentally in herbathroom. 'This
woman leads an artificial life,
and had no idea who she was or
what she was doing. Her
unexpected severance from
existence brought about
realization, and left behind a
changed person."

The short story "Help", the
tale of a maid making a momen-
tous personal decision concern-
ing a dishonest employer,
emerged as one of Ms.
Jacobsen's favorites. "I love the
optimism of that story. The main
character becomes such a

strong, self-assured person that
she is too big and free for
revenge. She is secure in
herself, and in herown life, even
while others are on their way
down."

"That reminds me of a
symposium that I will be atten-
ding at The Folger Library in
Washington. It's three days from
now, and I simply can't wait!"
The symposium featured
readings from Black literary

figures Szerling Brown, Mike
Harper, and Mae Sullivan. The
introduction of this activity led
me to question Ms. Jacobsen as
to her general impression of
society's acceptance of Black
literary achievement. "There is a
wide acceptance of minority
female poets, in fact, the whole
artistic community is more open
to the work of all races and
sexes. Where in the past, Blacks
experienced difficulttimes being
recognized and published, res-
ponsible people today will
recognize the importance of
everyone's contributions. Art,
after all, is universal."

The end of the interview drew
near, and Ms. Jacobsen's last
words were in praise of Agnes
Scott Collene. "I enjoy my visits
here more and more each time I
come down. It's a delightful
college, and a great com-
munity."

Student Speaks On Panel

by Colleen O'Neill

Valerie Hepburn, an Agnes
Scott sophomore from Bogart,
Georg ia, will speak at a women's
rights seminar at Kennesaw
College. Her subject will be the
Equal Rights Amendment, its
alternatives and its implications.
She will take part in panel dis-
cussions before two audiences
of about 200 listeners each.

Val Hepburn believes that she
was chosen because she is
,young enough to appeal to
college students on their own
level. She believes that it is im-
portant for the younger
generation to become involved
in the fight for the Equal Rights
Amendment.

Val has worked for Cathey
Steinburg, a member of the
Georgia General Assembly, first
as an intern and now as an aide.
This year is the last chance for
E.R.A. to be accepted in Georgia.
By working so closely with a
legislator who is striving to have
the amendment passed, Val says
she has changed her own views
on E.R.A. Although she has sup-
ported the amendment before,
she had not realized its urgency.

In Atlanta, Val has been lob-
bying and trying to work for
organization and support on
campus. Her message to the
Kennesaw students will have
the same theme as that to her

fellow Agnes Scott students:
what youth can do; how im-
portant E.R.A. is to us; and one
she particularly stresses,
"E.R.A. is not mandatory. It gives
you the right, but not the neces-
sity to be equal."

As an active supporter of the
Equal Rights Amendment in
Atlanta, Val feels very confident
about E.R.A. 'schances nextyear
in Georgia, "This year the
Governor's floor leader sup-

ported us. People are beginning
to realize it (the amendment) isa
must. I think it will be passed."

However, Val finds the sup-
port of Agnes Scott students
disappointing. "This isoneof the
primary places where we can
really show support. The older
women are doing it for us but we
are the ones who will benefit.
Otherschoolsaresurpassing us.
We should have the primary
place in support of E R A."

Reach For The Stars

by Marty Wooldridge

The flight of the Columbia was
the first of four test flights before
any pay loads or regular missions
will be flown. The next flight is
scheduled for August 1 5.

Since man has existed he has
reached for the heavens; first
with his eyes, then with teles-
copes, radio signals and space
probes. With the landing of man
on the moon, a new era began -
thatofman himself in space. The
Shuttle will make man in space a
commonplace and routine
event. Fortunately, however, it
will not diminish the rewards or
the excitement of space flight,
because the frontiers are boun-
dless.

Here on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus, the Bradley Observatory

provides some access to the
heavens, although space-flight
facilities have not yet been
installed. Under the guidance of
Mr. Robert S. Hyde and Mr.
Julius Staal, we, too, can begin
to span the distance to the stars.
One of the services the
observatory provides is an open
house on the first Fridayof each
month; the next of which is on
May 1 . Mr. Hyde will give a short
lecture on some specific aspect
of astronomy after which Mr.
Staal will provide planetarium
shows, while telescopic
observations and refreshments
are also available to the public.
All are welcome to join those
who already look up and reach
for the stars.

Former Vice President Addresses Emory

by B. J. Lloyd

Tuesday night, April 14, ex-
Vice President Walter F. Mon-
dale spoke at Emory University.
His entrance was received with
a standing ovation, by the
predominantly student-
audience.

Mondale began his speech by
linking the Space Shuttle with
the "contribution of education to
the technological status of this
country." He went on to state
that education is necessary for
success and security in our
society, is vital for our defense
and is "critical todemocracy and
social justice. It is an education
that permits us to enjoy life" and
that is something that doesn't
always show up in the Gross
National Product, he said.

The former Vice Presidentdis-
cussed the strengths of this
country, stating that we are "not
in a state of economic or moral
collapse." He mentioned our
superiority in such areas as
standard of living, productivity,
and foreign trade.

For the remainder of his
speech he commented that he
was "worried about a nation
where industry, labor and
government plan for the short
term rather than the long term."
He discussed this idea in view of
our energy problems, the en-
vironment, education and values
in foreign policy. "A short term
view of America will cost us in
the future."

A panel of professors ques-
tioned Mr. Mondale after hecon-
cluded his speech. In regard to
the present government's
policies in light of social justice,
concerning El Salvador, he said
that we need to understand
another culture before we can
advise, change or help. He said
that the Carter administration
tried to promote reforms that
would give a chance for stability
in El Salvador. He felt that it is a
political, economicand social is-
sue, not a military issue, and that
the United States should keep
the emphasis on internal
reforms without military aid.

Concerning his views about
national intelligence gathering,
Mondale said that the

constitution permits officers to
do all they need to do (within the
law) and that we should give
them the resources they need to
accomplish their tasks.

He remarked that he worried
about the use of public opinion
polls as a substitute for a
politician's ideas. He thought
that politicians should be forced
more often to "show what
they've got," and he said he
fears that polling isusedtoavoid
such confrontations.

Concerning Reagan's budget
cuts, Mondale said he feels that
while the country is in favor of
these cuts, the majority,
particularly the financial com-
munity, is not in favor of the

Kemp-Roth Tax cut bill, and
where the money saved will go
Mondale said he feels that the
tax-cut idea is "more a matter of
religious belief than reality."

The last question pertained to
hand gun control and crime. Mr.
Mondale stated that he is not in
favor of total gun control butthat
the emphasis should be on
Saturday Night Specials, which
he said are "used primarily to
shoot policemen, politicians and
relatives." He said crime is "a
problem America has allowed to
get away from itself" and that
we can change it only through
public and private dialogue and
policy.

The Week in Review

by Val Hepburn

Plans are in the making for
new tactics against the Soviet
Union. These plans, reflect the
first impact of the Reagan ad-
ministration on national military
strategy. Officials say the plans
shed the idea that any possible
war with the Soviet Union would
end quickly - either by
negotiation or nuclear war.
Instead they reveal the perspec-
tive that any war would be one of
long duration that would use
conventional weapons on a
global scale. The new strategy
would require tremendous
budget allocations for weapons,
ammunition, transportation,
equipment and supplies; not to
mention the demand for
mobilization of manpower and
an overhaul of the defense in-
dustry. The changing plans are
indicative of Reagan's and
Defense Secretary
Weinberger's skeptical view of
detente. One major aspect of the
proposed plans emphasizes the
threat of the Soviet Union to the
West's sources of oil in the Mid-
dle East and the area of the

Persian Gulf. Part of the reason-
ing behind the revitalization of
conventional weapon usage, of-
ficials assert, is the feeling that
conflicts would not result in a
nuclear war, since a nuclear
confrontation would seemingly
yield mutually assured des-
truction.

It appears Congress and the
courts are moving towards re-
emphasizing the need for blacks,
women and other minorities to
prove intent to discriminate in
civil rights violation cases. This
move, a subtle but important
one, will deal a strong blow to
minorities who prefer to have
judgement in discrimination
cases based on the concept of
effect as it is extremely hard to
prove intent of discrimination.
The controversy of "intents vs.
effects" is likely to dominate
pending debates concerning the
extension of the Voting Rights
Act; fair housing legislation, and
the merits of affirmative action.
If carried through, the move by
the conservative Congress
towards re-emphasizing the
concept of intent could push

progress in the area of civil
rights back a number of years.

Chanting "No Draft, No War,
U. S. outof El Salvador," a crowd
of approximately 3,500 gathered
outside the United Nations
building on Sat., April 18 to
protest the Reagan Ad-
ministration's policy of in-
volvement in El Salvador. Rep.
Ted Weiss (D.-N.Y.), a speaker at
the rally, pointed out, "Some of
us believe the problems in El
Salvador have been orches-
trated by the Reagan ad-
ministration to justify its budget
cuts and military spending." He
further stated that Congress is
taking measures to prevent any
more U. S. military action in El
Salvador.

The candidates in the race for
mayor of Atlanta are off and run-
ning. Three major contenders
are setting the pace: Sidney
Marcus, a state legislator from
Fulton County; Andrew Young,
former U. S. Ambassador during
the Carter Administration; and
Reginald Eaves, a Fulton County
Comissioner.

Fox Hosts "Napoleon"

The Film Department of the
Atlanta Public Librarypresentsa
very special showing of Abel
Gance: The Charm of
Dynamite. This documentary by
film historian Kevin Brownlow
examines the remarkable career
of the French director whose
long lost epic Napoleon is
scheduled for screening at the
Fabulous Fox Theatre, May 8
and 10, 1981 .

At the age of 91, Gance is
presently living in Paris. He was
recently honored by the French
Academy with the "Cesar d'Or"
- their highest award. Among
Gance's many stunning in-
novations is the use of triple
screen polyvision, which he
used in the filming of Napoleon.
No one thought in 1927 that a

film record of the production of
Napoleon was worthwhile. But
now we realize its value. We can
see the techniques Gance used
to create dramatic effects -
cameras were strapped to
cameramen's chests, mounted
on elevators, suspended from
overhead cables, lashed to the
saddles of horses and, in one
case, fitted to a kind of guillotine
which acted as a primitive crane.

English filmmaker and his-
torian Kevin Brownlow, who
spent many years reconstruc-
ting Napoleon, has a special
knowledge of and insight into
Gance's creative genius. His in-
timate involvement with the film
and its creator has resulted in a
major historical document.

Soccer Players Join
Georgia Club

by Colleen O'Neill

Several students at Agnes
Scott have become part of an
Atlanta league soccer team.
Sophomores Colleen McCoy,
Katie Blanton, Becky Moorer,
and Amy Potts, and freshmen
Charlotte Ward and Hayley
Waters play soccer every Sun-
day for the Georgia Club, part of
the Phoenix Soccer League.

This began when Coach Jo
Ann Messick, a member of the
Physical Education Department,
joined the league with other
members of her hockey team,
the Georgia Hockey Club. Field
hockey and soccer are similar in
moves and strategy and almost
identical in rules and positions.
In fact, the major difference
between the two sports is the
hockey player's stick versus the
soccer player's foot. But hockey
has a fall season and Ms. Mes-
sick was looking for something
to keep her team in practice dur-
ing the winter and spring. She
and other members of the
Georgia Club joined the Phoenix
League for recreation.

When hockey players began to
drop off the soccer team Ms.
Messick invited Colleen McCoy
to join. Colleen is an avid soccer
player. She has coached little
girl's teams and last year she
tried to spark interest on campus
in an Agnes Scott soccer team.
After Colleen joined the team
other girls followed. Now six
members of the Georgia Club
are students at Agnes Scott.

The team has a winning
record. They have never lost a
game. Colleen attributes this to
the skill of its players. All the
members of the Georgia Club
are athletes. Colleen considers
them "very lucky" to have so
vigorous a group of women to
play with.

The home field of the Georgia
Club is Druid Hills High School.
From there they play teamsfrom
all over the Atlanta Metropolitan
area. They are even matched
against Georgia Tech. The
Agnes Scott members of the
Georgia Club will take a special
interest in beating that team.

Security Measures Reviewed

by Marty Wooldridge

On Wednesday, April 22, a
Convocation regarding campus
security was held. Dean Kirkland
commented on the lack of res-
ponsibility that some students
have shown regarding their own
safety. The main thrust of the
meeting was that with students'
help Campus Security can in-
sure the safety of our campus.

Helen Anderson former
chairman of Interdorm opened
the Convocation and in-
troduced i Leanne Ade,the new
Chairman. She commented that
this meeting was not to scare
everyone but to make everyone
aware of the problems. Leanne
then explained what happened
when Walters was broken into
on the night of April 10. A man
came in one of the firstfloorwin-
dows facing Candler Street
(Walters - East) by pushing in the
screens. There were two girls in
that side of the building; one of
them was sleeping but the other
heard a noise - probably that of
the screens falling - and ran to
the sleeping girl's room. As she
crossed the hall, she saw the

Author and professor of
Romance languages Mary Ann
Caws of Hunter College will give
the lecture "Poetry in the
Present" Tuesday, May 5, at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall.

Professor Caws will visit
Agnes Scott, for two days as a
Visiting Scholar sponsored by
the United Chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa, a national collegiate
undergraduate honor society.
She will address the campus
community Wednesday, May 6,
at 11:30 a.m. during con-
vocation honoring the seniors
elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Elec- -

burglar coming up the hall. He
followed her; and before she
could close the door, he entered
the room. He demanded certain
sexual favors, but the girls
remained calm, at least
outwardly, and managed to talk
him into accepting money
instead. After that he yanked the
phone out, told them to keep
quiet, and left. The girls then
called Security.

That night Dean Kirkland and
Security searched the entire
dorm, under the beds and in
closets to make sure the man
had left. The Decatur Police
came and collected fingerprints.

On Saturday, April 18, the
man was picked up about a block
from campus, and is now in
prison. Leanne said "we were
real fortunate."

Then, Dean Kirkland stated
some guidelines that students
should follow to insure their
security. They are as follows:

1 . Keep screens on windows;
if they are broken call
maintenance and have them
fixed.

2. Keep shades down at night

tion to this honor society is the
highest academic honor Agnes
Scott awards to its students.

Professor Caws is the author
of several books on French
poetry, including among others
"Surrealism and the Literary
Imagination," "Andrea Breton,"
"The Poetry of Dada and
Surrealism" and "The Inner
Theatre of Recent French
Poetry." She has been the editor
of the professional journals
Dada/ Surrealism since 1971
and of Le Siecle Eclate since
1972 and is assistant editor for
literature of the French Review.

One of the founders of
archaeostronomy, Anthony F.
Aveni, will present the lecture,
'The View from the Tropics:
Maya, Aztec and Inca As-
tronomy," Friday, May 8, at
Agnes Scott College. Aveni,
professor of astronomy and an-
thropology at Colgate University,
will speak at 8 p.m. in Bradley
Observatory. The public is in-
vited, free of charge.

In his lecture, which is based
on his recent field work in Cen-
tral and South America, Aveni
will survey the state of the art of
timekeeping and astronomy
among the Maya, Aztec and
other people of Central America,
as well as the Inca of Peru. "We
know that one of the foremost
intellectual achievements of
these civilizations was the
development of a complex
horizon system of astronomy
often accompanied by a sophis-
ticated calendar," he states in a
summary of his lecture. 'The
question is, what kind of as-
tronomical observations were
made, how were they performed
ajid how accurate did the

observations have to be to serve
their ends?

"In this lecture," he states,
"we will investigate the as-
tronomical background neces-
sary for the creation of the Maya
'time machine.' We will examine
the religious and astrological im-
plications of ancient American
astronomy as well as the ques-
tion of whether and to what
extent it was 'scientific.'"

Aveni's research on the as-
tronomy of the ancient cultures
of Central and South America is

the subject of his new book titled
"Skywatchers of Ancient
America." He has edited two
other books on archaeos-
tronomy and is a frequent con-
tributor^ professional literature
in the field. His research on an-
cient astronomy is funded by the
National Science Foundation,
Educational Expeditions
International (jointly sponsored
by the governments of Mexico
and the United States),
Earthwatch, and the OSCO
Foundation.

on every floor in the halls,
stairwells, and rooms.

3. Do NOT prop outside doors
unless you watch the door every
moment it's open.

4. Leave the lights on in the
lobbies, halls and especially out-
side.

5. Call Security immediately if
you suspect anything. Their
extension is 250 or 251 and is
worth taping on your phone.

A couple of weeks ago, after
the break-in, Security found a
first floor room with the shades
up and lights on. They knocked
on the window to see how long it
would take the girls to call
Security. It took them eight
minutes, which, according to
Dean Kirkland is entirely too
long. Dean Kirkland said "the
only foolish callto Security isthe
one you don't make."

Coincidentally, on the Tues-
day before the Walters' break-in,
Dean Kirkland and Security
Director Al Evans attended a
seminar on crime prevention at
the University of South Carolina.
They were informed that other
camDuses experience on the

average about six rapes per
school session and twenty bike
robberies per week along with
other crimes. However, Dean
Kirkland said, "Security should
not be taken for granted - the
less that is heard from them, the
better job they are doing."

Since the Walters' break-in
gears have been set in motion to
get new lights in certain high -
risk places on campus. These
target areas are the following:
Hopkins parking lot, the corner
of Hopkins facing Candler, Win-
ship patio, behind Rebekah, fac-
ing McDonough, behind the gym
and library, and around Walters.
Those knowing of other
"dangerous" areas, are asked to
inform Dean Kirkland or Security
about them. Dean Kirkland
offered the following advice: If
you are uncomfortable coming
from or going to Bradley
Observatory orthe Candler park-
ing lot, call Security and be es-
corted; if you are in the
"Boonies" and call for Security,
please be patient and wait in
your car with the doors locked,
because the guard can't always

getthere immediately. Mr. Hyde,
Director of the Observatory, now
escorts his students to and from
classes, especially the evening
lab sessions, and security
patrols have been increased
around the observatory. Plans
are being made to clear away
some of the brush around the
path.

If there are males on campus
(who may or may not) have had
alcohol, Security has been
instructed to stop them. "Please
don't feel you're being harassed
if your boyfriend is questioned,"
said Dean Kirkland.

The meeting was then opened
for questions, and Miss
McKemie suggested that
joggers be careful and run in
pairs at least both outside and
inside the gym. Other questions
raised dealt with the dark area
between Dana and Campbell,
the possibility of a phone at the
"Boonies" and safety on the way
to Bradley Observatory.

Leanne said, from now on "we
need to be security - minded and
. . . careful."

The Agnes Scott Profile

May 4, 1981

by Laurie McBrayer

Campus concern regaraing
crime was indicated by the fairly
large attendance of the recent
convocation sponsored by Dean
Kirkland and Interdorm. Those
who attended this non - man-
datory meeting desired to hear
the facts regarding the incident
that occurred in Walters not long
ago.

The convocation was very in-
formative. However, it is im-
portant to note that the issue at
stake is not that this break - in
occurred, but that students and
security guards alike must be
awa re of security measures. The
real reason this event received
so much attention was that the
Agnes Scott Security has been
very effective in preventing such
happenings. The event was rare
and thus when rumors regard-
ing the incident started to

circulate, students became
curious and even frightened.

As an all woman's college,
Agnes Scott is particularly
vulnerable. Unfortunately,
students often take risks such as
jogging alone or practicing in
Presser Hall without company.
Although Agnes Scott may
sometimes seem like a four -
walled haven, safe from the out-
side world, it is not. Strangers on
campus are usually obvious;
however at night, vision is
decreased. Dean Kirkland asks
that students not be offended if
their boyfriend is questioned by
security; after all, it is for our
protection.

The Wa Iters event was not the
result of a student's lack of
intelligence. The students ap-
proached by the robber acted

with calmness and quick thin-
king; they set a fine example for
the campus. According to Dean
Kirkland, we have not had an in-
cident more serious than this on
campus. We are lucky.

The conclusion is that
students not only need to avoid
taking risks but they also need to
prepare themselves for any con-
frontations by strangers.

The Dean of Students and
Security should be commended
for their quick response to the
Walter's incident and for follow-
ing through by holding a con-
vocation and addressing ad-
ditional security problems on
campus. Not only did the
students have the opportunity to
voice their concerns, but the ad-
ministration recognized the
immediacy of these problems
and handled them swiftly.

Behind Door Four

I observed a certain mood of
exhaustion in everyone last
Tuesday. I attributed it to the loss
of an hour's sleep on Saturday
and a draining week of
midterms. Then it hit me. I
realized that this is not typical
exhaustion it's feeling
overwhelmed with pride. It's
that feeling that a cat must have
after chasing mice, scavenging
through the trash, sopping the
fresh milk and finally curling up
in a warm sun-ray patch to purr

himself to sleep. Like him, I am
totally exhausted and content
with the day's events. But my
cat-like contentment is not from
chasing mice; it's from you.

The transformation of the
quad and the dining hall on Fri-
day into a Renaissance Faire and
Feast as well as the work and
dedication behind it are
remarkable. Honestly, I am
overwhelmed by both. Plus, the
list of those I should thank is
again, overwhelming. Whom do

I thank for providing an
afternoon and evening of a
Renaissance spirit? It's vou.

As if a day of gala costumes,
booths, games, foods, dancing,
singing, dramatic presentations,
and interaction between
students and their faculty and
community wasn't enough, the
Alumnae had their annual
Reunion Weekend. Once more, I
was overwhelmed by their love
and support for the college and
you. I discovered that they do so
much for us and are willing to do
so much more. Why are they so
eager to do so much? You.

You may wonder why I am sit-
ting here purring like a kitten
well, it's you. Just look at all you
have done this past year and
how you are already busy
preparing for next year. For the
first time, Ifeel like a fat cat soak-
ing in the sun instead of a
scaredy-cat hiding from my own
shadow. You have shown me
that I am part of a dependable
and supportive student, faculty,
administrative, alumnae and
community group. You've
proven that you will work to
renew that spirit and dedication
to a college bound to the highest
standards of excellence in
learning, service, and personal
growth.

I regret that once again, I
sound like a cheerleader at a Pep
Rally. But evermore, Iregretthat
the only words which sum up my
feelings are those sometimes
trite (but well-deserved) words,
"thank you."

Parietals Should
Be Changed

by Edye Torrence

This week the boarding
students at Agnes Scott will
have an opportunity to give their
views on possibly changing
parietal hours. This is a very im-
portant issue which concerns all
of us who live on campus, and is
not one to be taken lightly.
Everyone should form a definite
opinion and fill out the ques-
tionnaire.

I feel very strongly that
parietal hours should be
changed. I feel that the present
hours are inconvenient. On my
hall, we average one male guest
per weekend (usually the same
one) and, considering the
number of girls with steady
boyfriends, or at least a date
every weekend, this is not very
many. On Sunday there are
more visitors who have just
come in from church, but
Saturdays are dead.

I have talked to several girls
who would like, as I would, to
have a place to go to be alone
with someone. I don't want to
start a prostitution ring on third
Walters; I would like to be able to
have a conversation with my
boyfriend without having all the
people in the lobby or the Hub
around to listen. If we sit out in
the cartoo long, a security guard
(doing his duty to weed out
potential weirdos) inevitably
comes up to say we're parked in
a loading zone or asks what my
boyfriend's business is on cam-
pus and if he is with a student
(sometimes both are quite ob-
vious and I'm amazed that they
would even ask).

I also believe that some of the
policies about visitors are
hypocritical. During exam week,
dorms are closed. Yet I dis-
covered that during winter
quarter exams students had as
many female guests as they
wanted, while fathers, brothers
and boyfriends waited outside. I
assumed that the purpose
behind the closure of dorms at
this time was to cutdown on out-
side disturbances in order to
allow students to study in their
rooms. I, personally, am just as
disturbed (if not more so) by
someone's mother or sister as by
male guests. If the dorms are to
be closed to visitors, they should
be closed to all visitors

Also, it is stated in the Agnes
Scott College Student Handbook
that "Agnes Scott workmen
must be accompanied by a
student, maid, or Senior
Resident." Even though the
maids try very hard to escort the
maintenance men when they
come in, they often pop up
unexpectedly in the elevator and
send underwear - clad girls
screeching and giggling to their
rooms. They may come and go as
they please, often unescorted,
while the escorted guests of
students must strictly obey the
1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
only rule. And the height of
hypocrisy is the fact that two of
the dorms actua lly have men liv-

ing in them twenty - four hours a
day!

Agnes Scott has never been
an institution to "go along with
the crowd," but we really are
behind the times where visiting
hours are concerned. At Emory,
the women as well as the men,
have twenty - four hour
visitation seven days a week. At
Oxford College of Emory, the
women have twenty - four hour
visitation on weekends and men
are allowed in the dorm until
midnight during the week. Men
have twenty - four hour
visitation ail week. At the
University of Georgia's coed
dorm Crestwell, the men'sfloors
have twenty - four hour
visitation every day of the week
and men are allowed on the
women's floors until 1 a.m. on
weekdays and twenty - four
hours on weekends. In Georgia
Tech's Fitten dorm men are
allowed from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
during the week and from 11
a.m. to 2 a.m. on weekends.

I am not asking for twenty -
four hour visitation at Agnes
Scott. I realize that would be too
much of a change too soon, but I
would like to see the parietal
hours changed to something
that would be more convenient
and comfortable to most
students. Many girls do not like
the idea of waking up in the
morning and staggering lis-
tlessly to the bathroom scantily
dressed only to discover that
there is a man on the hall.
Parietals would not have to
begin until after lunch on
weekends and after dinner dur-
ing the week (to correspond to
the hours the lobby doors are
open). The lobbiesstayopen until
midnight throughout the week,
so I see no reason why we can't
have male guests during the
week until some specified hour
before midnight and until mid-
night on Friday and Saturday
nights.

Senior Residents and R.A.'s
should not have to be res-
ponsible for shooing men out of
girls' rooms. We do have an
honor system at Agnes Scott.
We should be on our honor to
abide by the ru les that are set up
and be prepared to suffer the
consequences if we do not.
"Kick 'em out on time or be
kicked out" is all the incentive I
need. I do think that male guests
should be escorted at all times,
but I see no need for signing
them in and out. Again, we
should be on our honor. I do not
feel that the Honor System is
really an honor system when it
prejudges; this causes a break-
down of trust that is detrimental
to all concerned.

Another possibility that would
avoid conflicts would be to have
each dorm, either at the end of
spring quarter after room as-
signments are made, or during

To the Editor:

Bob Spretnak obviously has
cut his English and his logic
classes. English would have
taught him how to define his
terms and then discuss them
clearly; logic would have taught
him to respond with facts and
relevant arguments, not worn
out sexist slurs.

As to the charge that Agnes
Scott women are in school to get
husbands, I don't want or need
to spend $20,000 to find a hus-
band. (I spent almost that
amount trying to get rid of the
first one.)

On one point Mr. Spretnak
probably is right: Art History ma-
jors don t make good space shut-
tle commanders. However, I
don't think holders of ChE
degrees make good literary
editors or symphony conductors
or museum directors. Mr. Spret-
nak may not have an interest in
literary magazines, symphonies,
and museums, but I do.

If Mr. Spretnak thinks he
reached an editorial climax,
surely it was premature. And,
like most climaxes in that
category, his was disappointing.

Sincere ly,
Jane Quillman

Exactly what do you, Mr.
Spretnak perceive as a "typical
Scottie"? Does the word "Scot-
tie" conjure a vision of a young
maiden who habitually sleeps
with a picture of Rhett Butler
under her pillow, sleepily
muttering, "Someday my Prince
will come, I only hope it's before
graduation?" Obviously, you
have been underexposed not
only to Agnes Scott, but to
human interactions in general.
Did no one ever teach you in
engineering studies that people
are individuals and
generalizations are dangerous?
If you took your nose out of
Famous Space Shuttle Com-
manders long enough to spend
one day on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus, you would see exactly what
I am speaking of.

Some of us wear pink and
green, are Southern Baptists
and drive Mercedes. Some of us
wear Levi's and are working our
buns off to finance our
education. Some of us are from
as far away as Sri Lanka and
were chosen for scholarship out
of students competing from 35
countries. My point is, Mr. Spret-
nak, there is no such thing as a
"typical Scottie," just as there is
no such thing as a "typical
engineer."

Frequently, m Y Tech friends
jokingly tell me, don't let school
get in the way of your education.
Although they say this with hu-
morousintent, there is a large
amount of truth behind their
words. Mr. Spretnak, a person
may be a Physics wiz, but he also
may be retarded as a human
being.

Dearest Bobby,

Thou arta poorplayer who has
strutted and fretted his hour
upon the stage. Thou hast got
the attention that thy lonely in-
sides cried out for. Now,
PLEASE, dearest, LET US
HEAR FROM THEE NO
MORE! Burlette Carter

To the Editor:

This is in response to the
article by Bob Spretnak.

Your devaluation is not a
"small point" nor "harmless"; it
is an insult and, I might add, not
a very original one. It has all be
said to us before, Mr. Spretnak;
usually, however, in a more
coherent manner.

To limited persons such as Mr.
Spretnak, if Scott's entire
population marched en masse to
Tech next fall, we would still not
measure up; after all, it is
biologically contradictory for us
to become Tech men.

Should we do such a thing,
though, it would be the
inevitable course of things to
find that engineering projects
suddenly waned, salaries would
drop, and engineering would
become a low - status, devalued
form of employment. The federal
government would suddenlydis-
cover the limitless frontiers of
secretarial work. There would be
a mad rush of Tech men to take
over secretarial jobs and typing
would suddenly become
mysterious, challenging, too dif-
ficult for women to understand,
respected, and above all, a prac-
tical endeavor.

Silly? Not at all. I charge that
this is precisely the nightmare
which has Mr. Spretnakgiggling
nervously and swatting at all
those pesky serious women who
are battering at the employment
ranks.

But the thing that REALLY
has Mr. Spretnak's motor run-
ning is that Scotties have elected
to attend a single - sex college.
Why, they would even let us be
cheerleaders, and maybe even
the secretary of the Student
Government Association, if
would go to a nice co - ed school I

Well, Mr. S., the ugly truth is
out.

Many of us at Scott have made
this choice because, frankly, it is
too difficult, defeating/and pain-
ful to work in an environment
where we are not taken
seriously. Some of us need this
time "away" to build up our
strength to deal with obnoxious,
opinionated characters such as
you represent yourself to be.

Some of us have chosen Scott
because we have the vision to
see the value and necessity of
being something more complete
in our lifetime than a practical
cog in the gears of society.

Others, like myslef, simply
aren't all that impressed with
the machines, nuts, bolts, and
computers which are poisoning
and draining our environment,
fouling our checking accounts,
and numbing our minds so that
there is a whole generation of
humanity that thinks Three's

Company is great human
drama.

If we are to take you seriously,
Mr. Spretnak, the answer to
Allen Funt's question, "What do
you say to a naked lady?" is that
you take her measurements and
begin designing a rocket ship to
send her to the moon.

Believe it or not, Mr. S., there
IS a dimension to life outside of
the space program I

Dear Editor:

Upon reading "Hearsay," Bob
Spretnak's editorial for the
Technique, my initial response
was to dissect it fault by fault and
point out every aspect of its
weakness of form, beginning
with the article's lack of
organization and thesis, dis-
cussing the author's irres-
ponsible handling of subject
matter, and coming full circle
with my conclusion, the author's
inability to write or think. (A
coherent beginning, middle, and
end is always a nice touchl)
However, I believe the article
itself speaks so eloquently to th is
matter of bad form that I need
not elaborate.

Even though "Hearsay" is
laughable, the editorial still
bothers me. I certainly hope Bob
Spretnak's opinion does not
reflect the general consensus of
Georgia Tech, because if this is
the case Agnes Scott students
would be wasting their time
socializing with a group of men
who do not speak their same
language. When the author of
the article says, "... They
(Agnes Scott students) know it
wi II be rough for most of them to
get anything but a husband with
their B.A.s," he misses a very
basic point - those of us who
choose a liberal arts education
are working on becoming
civilized and not looking des-
parately for work or wedding
rings. Bob Spretnak has another
misunderstanding about Agnes
Scott. He writes, "... most of
those history and English majors
work as hard at their studies as
do the typical machanical
engineers." To acknowledge
that an English major is as dif-
ficult as an M.E. major is notsuf-
ficient: when the author or
anyone of the same opinion can
come to the realization that
studies in the liberal arts are as
valid as studies in technological
fields, he has grasped the
concept.

In sum, the article "Hearsay"
was written more out of
ignorance than malice. I find it
unfortunate that an article
expressing such a narrow -
minded viewpoint would be
printed in a newspaper which
represents the entire Tech com-
munity and ^vhich is read by
other colleges as well. Although
his negative feelings toward
Agnes Scott may not be shared
campus - wide, irresponsible
editorials like Bob Spretnak's

"Hearsay" only serve to damage
relations between our school
and Georgia Tech.
Pam De Ruiter

To whom it may concern:

The articles by Steve Trani and
Bob Spretnak in two recent
Techniques are either words to
live by (as do Tech students) or
fighting words (as we Agnes
Scott students view them). I
have no intention of debating the
irrelevant issue of the worth of
an engineering degree - no one
in his right mind sneezes at a
starting salary of $20,000 - but I
feel complelled to answer
Trani's and Spretnak's
allegations that the liberal arts
major has no intrinsic worth,
nor, according to Spretnak, does
an Agnes Scott woman.

In brief response to Trani's
assertion that 'There's no
reason to stay in a major like
English if you don't like it.
There's no money in it, and it's
likely that even if you get the
degree, it won't do you any
good," I can only remark that
there's more to life than money,
and that at least an English ma-
jor supplies one with an endless
variety of topics upon which to
write a column (despite the fact
that it might.be 9:33 on layout
night), as well as giving one the
grammatical ability to write the
aforementioned articulate
article.

Spretnak's remarks merit
closer scrutiny than did Trani's. I
must f irst ask where he ever got
the journalistic nerve to write
such a biased rebuttal to an
article he had never read. If
Spretnak had read the article, he
would have seen that
McBrayer's Profile article was
neither "vitriolic" nor did it "all
but question Mr. Trani's paren-
tage" over the point that liberal
arts majors are useless and
therefore easily discarded. I
must give Spretnak credit,
however, for recognizing that
Trani's article was long -
winded.

One Spretnak remark I
particularly resent is that "the
reaction was typically Scottie -
strong pride sharply contrasted
with a trademark apologetic
inferiority complex." I admit that
we Scott women are a proud
breed, but I will never concede
the point that we have a
"trademark apologetic
inferiority complex." We have
nothing whatsoever for which to
be apologetic, and we are not
inferior in any way.

In Spretnak's next paragraph, I
again find reason to commend
and condemn him. He deserves
credit for admitting that "English
and History majors work as hard
at their studies as do the typical
mechanical engineers . . . . "
Spretnak loses his brownie
points, however, by completing
his paragraph with " . . .they (we
Scott women) know it will be
rough for them to get anything
but a husband with their B.A.'s.
Certa in Iv more areat m inds have

flowered from Tech men than
from the debs and near - debs of
Scott - after all, no one as-
sociated with the space shuttle
program holds an art history
degree from a small, single - sex
private college." There are four
points in this quotation to which
I would like to respond.

First, every Agnes Scott
graduate I have ever known has
gotten a job upon graduation;
therefore, we have no need of
husbands unless we follow a
whim to have one. We are more
than capable of earning our own
rent, grocery, and entertainment
money.

Second, I must refute Spret-
nak's allegation that "more
great minds have flowered from
Tech men than from the debs
and near-debs of Scott." Why is
this ridiculous misconception
perpetuated from generation to
generation of Techies? If Spret-
nak defines "great mind" as one
devoted solely to engineering,
he is right - more engineers do
come from Tech than Scott.
However, I define "great mind"
as one which is applied to one's
area of interest and expertise.
This encompasses everything
from art history to zoology. Why
can't Techies accept the Scott
woman's attitude that there are
different types of genius in the
world? As long as one uses one's
mind to learn and to interact
with what one has learned, one
has worth in life. Writing a novel
is no more, nor less, magnificent
than designing a new computer.
Each is an admirable
achievement, although each re-
quires a different type of
intelligence.

Third, I cannot resist asking
Spretnak where he got the idea
that all Scott women are "debs
and near-debs"? Over 50% of all
Scott students are on financial
aid, so it is a moot point to
remind Spretnak that debs are,
by definition, of the social class
that has no need of financial aid,
unless, perhaps to buy another
oil company.

Finally, I respond to Spret-
nak's observation that "no one
associated with the space shut-
tle program holds an art history
degree from a small, single - sex
private college" with two points
that Trani made. First, "making
$3.10 an hour is better than
twenty thousand a year in
engineering if you have a wild
passion for shoveling cow
manure," and second, "... if you
don't have anything to do with
your life besides doing someth-
ing you don't want to do, you're
in pretty bad shape." The holder
of an art - history degree has no
business (and probably no desire
to be) in the space program, any
more than a chemical engineer
has the talent or interest in
curating a museum. One must
apply oneself to shoveling cow
manure, if that is wherein one's
talents lie.

Spretnak's next point is just
inarticulate enough to baffle me.
He says, 'There is most certainly

Continued from page 3

more to lite than a ChE degree,
but then again liberal arts must
find more grounds upon which
to base their pride than simple
persecution of their masses." I
amecstaticthat he realizes that
there is more to life than
engineering, but the second half
of his sentence seems to imply
that the liberal arts are not what
constitutes the other half of life,
and that those of us who choose
to devote our minds to the arts
have nothing of which to be
proud. I can only reiterate my
point that the genius required by
the arts is no less great than that
required by the sciences; it is
merely a different type of
intelligence.

I now find my self at the point
in Spretnak's article which
qualifies him for my "Blithering
Idiot of the Year" award. I quote:
" . . . there are still, more than
likely, more total Agnes Scotties
(sic) than Tech students atten-
ding college to find a spouse."
How stupid does this man think
Agnes Scott women are? If we
are in college to find husbands,
why did we come to an all -
women's college? Surely we
have had enough biology to
know the physiological
differences between the male
and female bodies, and to know
the necessity of one of each sex
for reproductive purposes. One
point I might make in refutation
of this ridiculous allegation is
this: why would we spend $20,-
000+ to attend an all - women's
college for four years if we were
merely in search of husbands?
Surely, if we were truly
interested in capturing Tech
men for husbands, we would be
Industrial Management majors

at Tech, rather than cloister
ourselves in the hallowed halls
of Agnes Scott's proverbial ivory
tower. The exposure to the male
sex is much greater at Tech than
Scott, after all.

The last point in Spretnak's
article I find utterly ridiculous is
this: "Until that statistic (that
more Scott students than Tech
students are ostensibly in
search of a spouse) is erased or
at least evens out, the toughness
of the education will not matter
and Scott will remain a source of
bad jokes with Tech students
looking down their noses at the
school towards the east." Spret-
nak displays a singular lack of
observational acuity in making
this statement. On one hand,
Scott women are never a social
minority at either fraternity or
independent Tech social
functions, and they are never the
wallflowers of the party, so I fail
to see that Tech noses are being
thumbed in our direction, at
least in regard to social matters.
On the other hand, I have met
few Tech students who did not
admit that the arts and social
sciences are beyond them for
one reason or another. The very
fact that Scott women have a
superb command of these non -
scientific fields of necessity af-
fords us the academic respect
which Spretnak disdains to
extend to us.

In sum mary and for
clarification of my purpose in
writing this letter, let me add
this: I am not trying to start a war
between Agnes Scott and
Georgia Tech. I have the greatest
of respect for the intelligence
and pursuits of the typical Tech
student; I simplv demand - and

legitimately so, on the grounds
of the above points - that a
similar respect be accorded
Agnes Scott women for their
endeavors and triumphs in the
art and sciences.

Academically yours,

Letter to the editor

One of the most popular topics
for conversation on the Agnes
Scott campus for the past week
has been an editorial which
appeared in the Technique on
April 17 by Bob Spretnak.

He stated his belief that Tech
has produced "more great
minds" than has Agnes Scott - -
"... after all no one associated
with the space shuttle program
holds an art history degree from
a small, single-sex private
college." For that matter,
ministers, lawyers, artists,
diplomats, actors, musicians,
and journalists (real journalists
who understand such basics as
organization and unity of theme)
do not hold ChE degrees. If Mr.
Spretnak truly believes that
greater minds flourish in a
technical rather than a liberal
arts environment, then why
does he not generalize further
and include such liberal arts
institutions as Davidson,
Harvard, and Oxford?

It might interest him to know
that for several centuries,
intelligent, intellectual vounq
1 adults have chosen a liberal arts
education forthe simple factthat
has been proven time and again,
the liberal arts offers an in-

dividual the best preparation for
the widest array of jobs possible.
Rather than providing
specialized training for a
specialized career, the liberal
arts provides a broad base upon
which one may build any
number of careers (of course,
specialization is often the logical
next step).

It is high time that Mr. Spret-
nak and people like him realize
that, though engineering and
other technically oriented
careers are in great demand at
present, a technical career is
only one of an infinite variety of
opportunities in this life. Let us
hope that society will never be
dominated by those who would
have us forsake the "frivolous"
study of ourselves and the world
around us forthe "practicality"
of training for a job.

As I finish this letter, let me
hasten to say that I am not at-
tacking the Tech masses. I have
a number of good friends at
Tech, and fortunately none of
them fall into the Bob Spretnak
open - mouthed - closed -
minded category. I have not
made many comments on Mr.
Spretnak's editorial style (ha!) or
his arguments (generalized,
stereotyped, and unsupported)
because I think that they speak
for themselves. I have heard
'rumors to the effect that his writ-
ing ability is not held in high
regard at Tech either, but please,
don't take my word for it. After
all, it's only hearsay!

Editor's Reply

Some of you may be wonder-
ing why so much space was
dedicated to responses to this is-
sue, seemingly a Scott-Tech
rivalry, but actually much more.
The intellect of the responses
printed reveal that the Scott
students are dedicated to the
liberal arts ideal. The articles
and letters to the editor stop with
this publication (May 4);
however, the issue is still alive.
The one success of raising this
controversy has been that it
caused ASC students to sit down
and seriously consider the value
of the liberal arts education.
Those who responded did it elo-
quently. Those who didn't res-
pond most likely already were
persuaded of the value of their
education (that's why they
enrolled here). Other students
will read these letters and obtain
some firm evidence for future
conversations with Tech
students. I leave with you an
excerpt from John Henry
Newman's The Idea of a
Un ive rs ity , wh ich seems to refe r
to the ideals of Agnes Scott:
"Liberal Education, viewed in
itself, is simply the cultivation of
the intellect, as such, and its ob-
ject is nothing more or less than
intellectual excellence."

Renaissance Fair Coordinators ExpressThanks

Dear Friends and Fellow
Celebrants:

With our revels now well
ended, we find it appropriate to
thank the entire campus com-
munity for its good spirit and
hearty efforts on behalf of the
Festival of the English Renais-
sance, 1980-81, and to single
out a few groups and individuals
who made an extraordinary con-
tribution to our success in this
enormous endeavor. Probably
we all know about the fine
programs and speakers we have
benefited from all year and of the
various academic departments
which have invited them and
supported their visits the
Alabama Shapespeare Festival,
Rene Girard, Richard Marius,
our own Prof. Hayes and Prof.
Nancy Leslie, to name just a few
but there are a number of
significant contributions which
may not be quite so obvious.

First, our thanks to the
spirited/group of faculty, who
under the inspiration of Letitia
Pate's motto from Macbeth
dreamed up the celebration as a
collaborative effort with the
Folger Exhibit in Atlanta this
past winter and spring And
thanks to all the members of

Lecture Committee, who chose
to support the Festival and work
with the project over the year,
pa rticularly to Martha Sheppard,
student chairman of Lecture
Committee, who played . a
primary role in all the events,
and to Susan Nicol, who as
money-manager, helped by
Susan Smith, ruled with the care
of Shylock our common
treasury. A special tribute goes
to Kathy Helgesen, who as
president of the junior class,
helped coordinate the fund-rais-
ing aims of Junior Jaunt with the
plans for the fair (and to Marty
Kirkland, who suggested this
sensible coordination). The
talents of Dudley Sanders, who,
with Liz Steele, Jeanne Cole
planned and administered the
lay-out for the fair and designed
the attractive signs and
decorations, were self-evident.

Thanks goes to Alice Harra
who designed the clever T-
shirts. Also a special thanks
goes to Sarah Campbell who
portrayed Queen Elisabeth
graciously and gracefully.
Vaughan Black and the college
personnel who worked with him
with incredible good humor, ef-
ficiency, and imagination in

executing so many physical
needs for all of our events,
particularly the elaborate
demands of the fair and feast,
played on immense role in the
success of our endeavor. (And a
special toast to Gomer - of - the -
scarred shins!) John Toth and
his talented students, enhanced
by the dancers directed by
Marilyn Darling and Agnes
Scott's Madrigal Singers,
produced a sophisticated revue
which was high-calibre
entertainment indeed. And Mrs.
Stump's birthday cake for
Shakespeare! Many of us found
that an amusing and tasty spec-
tacle. Ron Byrnside, who worked
with the various musical groups
forthe event, who produced with
Mr. Hyde a program on "The
Music of the Spheres," and who
concocted and directed the
Agnes Scott Renaissance
Marching Band, was a fun-
damental person in this project;
and Mollie Merrick and Gail
Weber, who worked with table
design and decorations for the
feast, spent hard hours towards
the beautification of an evening.

To Mrs. Saunders and her
staff again ourthanks and praise
and to all the hard-working

sophomores, who got a brief ap-
prenticeship in the exhausting
work of waiting on tables (and
who now, surely, will all go onto
medical school). To Bo Ball for
his work on the tavern, thanks,
and thanks to Melanie Merrifield
and her "grog squad," who had
the spirit and dispensed it. A
special thanks to Charle^
Counts, who was inspired by the
Renaissance emphasis this year
to create the beautiful quilt
which hung on the back wall of
the dining hall, and to David
Behan, who graciously presided
with his "poetry" as Chancellor
of the Kitchen.

Enormous applause for the
hard work and bright ideas of the
Public Relations staff to Sarah
and to Andrea, who were driven
by fierce energy and enthusiasm
as we were, to survive these plans
and events and particular
thanks to Dot Market, who kept

us all straight. We appreciated,
further the charming support of
the Vocational Office with their
"Renaissance Edition," and the
time and energies of patient Pat
Gannon in helping us with all
the xeroxing. To artists Susan
Glover, Hannah Griffith, and Pat
Arnzen with their astonishing
skills much appreciation.

And of course our thanks to
President Perry for all the many
things he and Mrs. Perry did to
support this community effort
and to help pay for it. Thanks to
one and all who contributed to
the Battered Women of Atlanta
through their donations of time,
goods, or money. Thanks to the
Alumnae, who permitted us to
intrude on their week-end.
Thanks to all who prayed for
good weather (and to Him who
granted it). And thanks to all who
came and had fun. Sincerely,
Linda Woods Michael Brown

on its own individual parietal
hours. Many colleges adopt this
policy.

These are simply my sugges-
tions for what I consider to be a
fair and reasonable compromise
tween the hours we have now

and the hours most other local
colleges have . The specific times
can always be worked out and
voted upon after the decision
has been made to change

agree to any reasonable exten-
sion of visitation privileges. J

The Agnes Scott Profile

The Week In Review

by Val Hepburn

In France after the first round
of voting in the presidential elec-
tion, a run-off is to be held
between President Valery Gis-
card d'Estaing and Socialist
Party leader Francois Milterand.
Giscard got about 28% of the
vote in the first elective bout;
Milterand, about 26%. Eight
other candidates divided the rest
with Gaullist Jacques Chirac
and Communist George
Marchais, receiving 18% and
1 5% of the vote respectively.
Were Milterand to win the run-
off, it would be the first reversal
of the conservative trend sweep-
ing major Western countries,
such as Britain and the United
States. Although a Milterand
presidency seemingly would
give the left added strength in
Western Europe, it appears
French foreign policy under such

an administration mightbe more
in line with the anti-Soviet mood
of the Reagan administration.
During the campaign, Milterand
has strongly criticized Giscard's
alleged softness on Moscow. To
win the election, Milterand
needs the support of the French
Communist Party; whether he
will get it after his anti-Soviet
statements remains to be seen.
The run-off is scheduled in two
weeks.

Monthly house payments
have jumped almost 500% in the
last 10 years. In 1970 the
average monthly payment was
about $126; currently the
average monthly payment is
about $621. Mortgage interest
rates have also jumped from
8.5% in 1970 to the current 12%.
Experts expect further increases

in interest rates in the latter half
of 1 981 . Predictions expect the
rates to range from 14.5% to
15.5%.

Jim Davis, the actor who
played Jock Ewing, died in his
sleep Sun., April 26th. The 72
year-old Davis was recovering
from abdominal surgery he had
undergone last month.

The twenty -sixth victim in the
Atlanta child murders has been
found. Jimmy Ray Payne was
last seen about 10:00 a.m. on
Wed., April 23.

His body was found late
Monday afternoon in the Chat-
tahoochee River in northwest
Atlanta. At the moment, police
still have no leads in the case.

ASC To Host Media Festival

If past entries are any in-
dication of the expected diversity
for the 1981 Georgia College
and University Media Festival,
this year's audience and judges
could find themselves whisked
into space for intergalactic war,
given lessons on how to operate
a computer or taken to the
Atlanta zoo for a tete-a-tete with
Willie B., the resident gorilla, all
in one afternoon.

Sponsored by the Georgia As-
sociation for Instructional
Technology (GAIT) the festival is
scheduled for Friday, May 8 at 1
p.m. in the Film Room of the Ad-
ministration Building at Agnes
Scott College in Decatur.
Students from colleges and
universities and other post-
secondary institutions around
the state are expected to show
films, videotapes and other
multi-media productions to a
panel of expert judges.

The festival is a spin-off of the
Georgia Student Media Festival
K-12 which attracts thousands
of entries from elementary and
high schools all over Georgia.
The college festival is scheduled
each year to offer students in
colleges, proprietary schools
and vocational schools the op-
portunity to display their produc-
tions and to receive recognition.
This year cash awards will be
given for the best entries as
judged by professionals from
broadcast and cable television,
educational media and
independent media production.

According to festival chairman
Jay Harriman of Mercer
University in Atlanta, "the fes-
tival gives students who might
not otherwise have op-
portunities through other types
of festivals or competitions, a
vehicle for presenting their
work. This does not mean that

the quality of the entries is not
good, as the festival is designed
to showcase quality work. We
are just very comprehensive in
jwho we include as a qualified

Of Coors, Coke, And Calculators

Ye shall know them by their
products. And yea, those
products shall multiply.

Take, for example, the fact that
three out of four college
students own hand-held
calculators. Half have 10-speed
bikes, and six out of ten own ten-
nis rackets. What with
calculating, biking and tennis
playing, you'd think students
would be kept pretty busy. But lo
38% of college students say
they own a backgammon set.
And a whopping 46% own a
Monopoly game (perhaps they
count their money with their
hand-he kJ calculators).

This is only a sampling of the
findings from two recent
surveys, one by Monroe
Mendelsohn Research Inc. and
the other by Communications &
Advertising services to students
(CASS). Together, the surveys

are a veritable Who Buys What
among college students.
Herewith, some of the more
interesting tidbits:

*The "natural look" not
withstanding, cosmetic use is
booming on campus. Eight outof
1 0 female undergrads use mas-
cara and blusher, and nearly as
many (72%) use eye shadow.
Two - thirds use nail polish. And
here's a puzzler lipstick is
most apt to be used in the South
and least in the West.

*The leather look is all the
rage in footwear, with 65% of
women and 37% of men owning
leather boots.

*Next to the calculator, the
most popular appliance is the
blow - dryer. Eight out of 10
women own one; six out of 10
men.

Here's encouraging news:
only 18% of students smoke

cigarettes, and 65% of those
undergrads who do smoke,
smoke low - tar brands.

*"School spirit" is high, with
83% of students saying they
drink alcoholic beverages. The
most popular inebriant is beer,
with 70% of students drinking it.
Among liquors, vodka is the
favorite, used by 49%. Rum is a
close second at 46%.

*ln the soft drink department,
students rank their favorites in
this order: Coke, Pepsi, Tab, Dr.
Pepper and 7-Up. Least favorite
are Fresca, Vernors, Schweppes
and Diet-Rite.

Favorites in domestic beer, in
order, are Miller High Life,
Budweiser, Lite, Michelob and
Coors. Among imports, the
clear favorite is Molson Golden
Ale.

London Fog To Perform

by Elisabeth Smith

London Fog, under the direc-
tion of Dr. Byrnside, will present
a joint concert with the
Modernnaires on Thursday, May
7 at 8:1 5. The Modernaires is a
jazz band which practices on
campus. London Fog will be
presenting some of their old
favorites along with some new
material as well. They have a
different sound this year due to
their two new accompaniests:

Tracy Wannamaker on bass and
Sue Feese on piano. London Fog
members are Becky Lowrey,
Gina Philips, Peggy Davis, Mary
Jane Golding, Melanie Miller,
Beth McCool, Melanie Roberts,
and Susan Nichol. Becky
commented that the concert
should be really good and that

"the group has come a long way
this year."

College Scoop

Students Pierce Ears

Pierced Ear (singular) is one of
the latest fash ion adornments to
be taken up by the male species
on campus. At Emory U. in
Atlanta, male students offered
explanations. "A pierced ear
makes a strong statement about
your liberal credentials," said
one. Anothertermed it "a classic
case of conformity to non - con-
formity." '1 don't remember,"
said still another. "It was late at
night. I was drunk

Gasahol Considered
At Georgia

Gas won't be worth peanuts at
the U. of Georgia if a proposal is
followed to replace gasohol with
peanut oil in two campus buses.
Dr. John Good rum, an associate
professor of agriculture at that
school, says peanut oil can be
poured directly into diesel
engines, although in cold
weather it must be mixed with
diesel fuel to prevent
congealing.

Renew Books

By Phone

A phone renewal system at
Northern Illinois U. could greatly
reduce the number of overdue
library books if properly used,
say officials there. The system,
part of the new library computer,
allows people who check out
books to renew them over the
telephone. The new service isn't
well - known as yet, say library
directors, and therefore hasn't
cut into the number of overdue
books.

Hot Water!

An early-warning scalp saver
has been invented by two
Haverford College students to
prevent scalding in dormitory
showers when a toilet is flushed
Students Adam Levy and David
Schwed attached a wire from
the handle of each dorm toilet to
a fire alarm device in the adacent
shower room. The alarm goes off
immediately when a toilet is
flushed, giving those in the
shower two seconds to get out
from the water before it gets too
hot.

RTC Runs Alumnae House

by Scottie Echols

While on campus many may
wonder who is the attractive
lady that always has a ready
smile? She is Mrs. Natalie En-
dicott, manager of the Alumnae
House. Three years ago Mrs. En-
dicott moved to Atlanta from
Cincinnati in orderto be near her
family and, through her sister,
learned that Agnes Scott needed
someone to manage the Alum-
nae House. Wanting to continue

her education, Mrs. Endicott
found the job perfect for her
needs. She takes approximately
six hours per quarter as an RTC
student and keeps our Anna
Young Alumnae House ready for
visitors. Her duties include mak-
ing reservations, keeping the
books, and preparing for any
functions held in the house. Mrs.
Endicott says that she enjoys
planning for guests having done
this a great deal while living in

Cincinnati and exclaimsthatshe
simply loves people! Her
interests lie in working with
people and upon completion of a
fine arts major at Scott, she
hopes to become involved in
some form of dramatics for the

veryyoung. But in the meantime
she will continue to maintain the
Alumnae House with her charm-
ing hospitality.

Students Learn
About Preservation

by Elizabeth Smith

During spring break, Carol
Goodman did an externship with
the Georgia Trust for Historic
Preservation. This is a state
organization which encourages
historic preservation. Carol
worked under Ms. Randy Jones,
who graduated from Agnes
Scott in 1971 .

Mainly Carol wrote profiles on
all the board members and up-
dated their files, recording their
current preservation activities.

She was also included in some
other interesting events and
meetings. She wenttothe meet-

it was a fascinating experience
and she really enjoyed being
able to attend. She also went to
several other meetings with Ms.
Jones.

Carol said that she gained a lot
from the experience. She plans
to go into some kind of historic
preservation and said "I learned
a lot about what I want to do."
She learned how the Georgia
Trust works with the National
Trust, how funds are obtaiend,
how many people are involved
and committed, and what kindof
work is being done now. Carol
said theexternshipalsogave her
good experience at being more
independent and having more
self confidence. She said, "I
feel like I can handle new
situations."

Carol highly recommended
the externship program and
said, "I encourage everyone to
take part in an externship. It was
an experience in which I grew in
many ways."

Hospital Needs Volunteers

Atlanta's understaffed Grady
Memorial Hospital needs
volunteers, and anyone who is
willing to have some basic train-
ing is qualified.

Volunteers are trained in one
of three areas: 1) obstetrics -
labor and delivery; 2) general -
long-term illness; 3) traumatic -
gunshot wounds, automobile
accidents, etc. Training classes
are held for three hours a week
for three months at Grady Hos-
pital. Parking is free for

volunteers, or a MARIA station
is only a block away.

Nancy Asman, a junior at
Agnes Scott, participated in this
program last quarter. "You learn
a lot and you're given a lot of res-
ponsibility,'' says Nancy, who
worked with long - term
patients. Depending on which
area a volunteer chooses, ac-
tivities would include reading
vital signs, preparation for x-
rays, and even some assistance
in the delivery room or lab tes-

ting. The experience is, in Nan-
cy's words, "the real world out-
side of Agnes Scott."

Since the hospital is located in
the center of Atlanta, there
maybe some concern for safety.
The parking area is well lit, and is
directly across the street from
Grady. Hospital security is
always present and the path to
and from the hospital is usually
well populated with doctors,
nurses, or other volunteers.

If you are interested, call Vi
Craig at 588-3522 or 588-4363.

Students Compete In Pageant

by Tracy Murdock

Two sophomores participated
in the Miss Dogwood Pageant
and Festival held recently in
Atlanta. Kim Kennedy and Leigh
Keng were both involved in the
Festival's activities. The first ac-
tivity for each girl was to pass a
screening of fifty-two girls
entered in the Miss Dogwood
Festival. Kim and Leigh were
among twenty girls chosen to
compete for the title of Dogwood
Queen on March 14.

After screening, all twenty
girls had to practice every week
for four hours the month before
the pageant. The opening
number was rehearsed, along
with modeling and an in-
troduction speech. The day
before the pageant, each contes-
tant had a seven minute
interview with the judges. Dur-
ing the pageant the girls were
judged on poise, personality, a
swimsuit competition, and an
evening gown competition.

Terry Honick, a 22-year old
student at Georgia Tech, was
chosen as the 1981 Dogwood
Queen. Kim was the first
runner-up and Leigh was picked
as one of the four Dogwood

princesses. As part of the
Queen's Court, Kim and Leigh
were very involved in the ac-
tivities of the Dogwood Festival.
These activities included the
Dogwood Parade, attended a
fashion show, an art show and a
party atthe American Hotel. Kim
and Leigh were also atthe Pied-
mont Park Balloon Race. Leigh
performed with her pop band,
Chrysalis, during the balloon
race. Kim also attended the U.S.
Air Force Band Concert at
Symphony Hall.

Kim and Leigh received many
prizes, including a cooler, t-
shirts, and a Dogwood legend
parchment. As first runner-up,
Kim also received a scholarship,
a silver tray, Dogwood jewelery,
and dinner at several of Atlan-
ta's restaurants.

Both Kim and Leigh entered
the pageant because they said
they wanted to compete for the
scholarship. The Dogwood
Queen received a $2000
scholarship regardless of finan-
cial need. Kim says that
"pageants as a whole have
made me a lot more poised and
sure of myself." She also said
she feels that pageants have

taught her " a lot about
interviewing" which she feels is
the most important part of
pageant experience." Leigh said
that she thought the Miss
Dogwood pageant was
"overwhelmingly nice" though
it was not a "typical pageant."
Leigh explained that the man
who ran the pageant treated it
like "a project rather than a
competition" which she thought
was "much better."

by Mary Beth Hebert

When a department has only
two professors and one is on
sabbatical, it undergoes quite a
face - change. Such will be the
case with ASC's philosophy
department next year when Prof.
Richard Parry goes on sab-
batical. Temporarily replacing
Prof. Parry will be Dr. Mitchell
Staude, an Assistant Professor
from the University of Maryland.

Dr. Staude received his B.A.,
M.A., and Ph.D. (all in

philosophy) from the University
of Maryland. His dissertation
title was "Desiring: An Analysis
of One Concept of Wanting."

Among the courses Staude
will be teaching next year are In-
troduction to Logic, History of
Ancient Philosophy, Philosophy
in Literature, and Ethics. None of
these courses have pre-re-
quisites. Courses which will re-
quire previous, specific course -
work (or, often, permission of the
instructor) include Philosophical

Foundations of Sexual Morality,
Phenomenology and Existen-
tialism, Intention, Emotion, and
Reason, and Character, Desire,
and Pleasure.

Staude has done graduate
research in the areas of
Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy
of Action, Epistemology, and An-
cient Philosophy. His broad
range of expertise promises to
be an asset to ASC's already

"Excaliber" Presents King Arthur In Spectacular Way

by Marc ia Whetsel

King Arthur and his court has
loved and been loved for over
1400 years through ballads,
poems, novels, and a musical,
and they come to life once again
on the screen in John
Boorman's Excalibur. However,
this version of the legend, sup-
posedly adapted from Sir
Thomas Malory's Morte
d'Arthur, presents the legen-
dary hero and his story in a most
spectacular way, which
sometimes helps and
sometimes hinders the viewers
understanding of the romance of
the Arthurian legends.

Boorman, the director, seems
to be aiming for a spectacular
effect (in cinematography)
similar to that produced in Star
Wars or The Empire Strikes
Back. He achieves this, but the
legend suffers. The major
characters, Arthur, Lancelot,
and Guinevere, lack the depth
they have in other versions of
the legend such as Tennyson's
"Idylls of the King," and Lerner
and Lowe's Camelot.

The spectacle is achieved
through science fiction - like
visual effects, elaborate cos-
tumes and settings, and the
magnificent scenery of the
rivers, forests, and countryside
of Ireland, where the movie was
filmed. These visual effects and
the scenery are well worth the
$3 admission price even though
they don't make up for the film's
other flaws.

One must have a very strong
stomach in this kingdom I The
battles are like none ever seen
and tend to be excessively
violent. Beware of the scene in
the forest where knights search-
ing for the Holy Grail have been
hung and of the final battle
between Arthur and Mordred.

Also, one can easily tire of
almost two hours and 45
minutes of clanking armor.
Since all the knights have set
and never (well - almost never)
seem to take it off, all that clan-
king around can get tedious,
especially since it is a much
more modern style of armor
than would have been available
between 500 and 600 A.D. (Oh,

well - use the old imagination.)

As fa r as visua I effects go, the
first part of the film leading upto
the seduction scene between
Uther and Ygraine, Arthur's
parents, the final scene with
Arthur's funeral barge, and all
the scenes surrounding
Excalibur (yes, the hand and
sword coming out of the water)
are by far the best.

For the most part the actors
cannot compete with the visual
effects. Arthur, played by Nigel
Terry, is a likeable chap, but not
really what one is looking for in a

king, and the characters of
Guinevere, played by Cherie
Lunghi, and Lancelot, played by
Nicholas Clay, simply lack the
depth required to make the love
triangle work. However, Nicol

Williamson, as Merlin, ab-
solutely steals the show. He is
the wise, all - knowing
necromacerof the legend, but he
also has a lot of fun doing his
thing. To a certain degree, he
reminds one of Yoda, the Jedi
Master, in The Empire Strikes

Back, because he is witty,
lovable, wise and has almost as
many unique expressions as
Yoda does.

My major complaint aboutthe
film is that Boorman says he
bases Excalibur on Malory's
Morte d'Arthur (Weekend,
Atlanta Journal - Constitution,
April 11-19, 1981 ), but it is very
hard to see a lot of similarity.

True, the legends of King Arthur
were handed down by mouth for
many centuries and are not
based on fact (though most his-
torians agree that a tribal chief-
tain named Arthur did in fact
lead the Britons in resistance to
the invading Saxons in the 6th
Century). But Boorman makes

major changes in the Malory
legend, one of the most com-
monly used sources for modern
versions. First of all, Boorman
gives Galahad's role in the
search for the Holy Grail to
Percival, Lancelot's servant.

Secondly, Boorman fuses the
characters, of Morgan, Arthur's

magical half - sister and Nimue,
Merlin's enchantress, into one
Morgana, played by Helen
Mirren, though Mirren does a

good job in her role and Morgana
is as nasty and as devious as
anyone could expect of an en-
chantress. In his effort to en-
compass the entire story of King
Arthur, Boorman makes

changessuch as these as well as
in the chronological order of
some events, such as the
conception of Mordred,
Morgana and Arthur's
illegitimate son. In doing so he
breaks with the legend as told by
Malory.

Excalibur is worth seeing, but
beware of diluted Malory and be
prepared for excessive violence.
Excaliburis simply lacking inthe
tender romantic quality of
Camelotand "Idylls of theKing,"
and fa Ms to transmit the
essence of King Arthur and his
court that is so superbly
preserved in Malory's Morte
d'Arthur.

C.S. Lewis Subject of Table Talk

by Colleen Flaxington

Alumna Dabny Hart '48, As-
sistant Professor of English at
Georgia State, authority on the
works of C. S. Lewis, spoke Mon-
day, April 27 from 1 .00 to 2 :00 to
a group of students and faculty
at the Tabletalk in the
President's Dining Room.

The discussion revolved
mainly around what Lewis was
like, as a professor, tutor, and
person.

Ms. Hart said that though
Lewis was worshiped by his
male students, some women
scholars found him harsh and
caustic. She explained,
however, that Professor Lewis'

Scholarships

The scholarship bank an-
nounced today that applications
are available for thousands of
summer job openings for college
students interested in work in
their career fields, as well as ap-
plications for fall scholarships.

According to Steve Danz,
director of this nation - wide
college scholarship search
service, many scholarships for
fall require action by April or
May. He urges students to get
busy finding their best
scholarship or work op-
portunities and apply now: "If

Socratic approach, asking ques-
tions and making remarks to
cause a student to delve deeper,
to think for himself. Some
women, unused to this Oxford-
style method of teaching, found
it quite difficult to deal with.

Lewis' lectures were the best-
attended on the Cambridge cam-
pus; a real indication of his
popularity as their attendance
was voluntary. Ms. Hart
commented that upon reading
the notes of a student in one of
Lewis's classes, she noticed
their depth and detail, but other
than that, found no grounds to
explain Lewis' attraction as a

lecturer. Then, upon attending
one of Lewis' talks herself, she
realized that Lewis invested
much of his own personality into
his talks; this naturally didn't
appear among the cold facts of
the notes.

Ms. Hart told of the time while
she was working on a thesis
about Lewis' works, that she
was able to visit Lewis for an
afternoon. She spent most of the
time going through a box of
articles about Lewis that he had
set out for her. They had tea - he
had brought home some cakes
from the bakery. The

about the writings of Lewis). She
didn't take any notes during her
visit; she felt she had read all the
factual material and now needed
to find out more about the man
behind the facts. Her con-
clusions were that he was truly

Ms. Hart's talk was very

Hi w nt mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A psychiatrist (glenn (Glenn Ford) tries to help Melissa Sue Anderson reconstruct the

fragments of her traumatic past in Columbia Pictures' "Happy Birthday To Me." The
psychological mystery centers on a series of sinster disappearances on the campus of an
exclusive private school.

Columbia Pictures To Release
Happy Birthday To Me"

If you had a birthday party and
could invite the top ten
spookiest, scariest or most
mysterious people from history,
who would you invite? The first
five answers sent to Box 764
will win free screening passes to
see "Happy Birthday To Me".
The best answer wins a "Happy
Birthday To Me" surprise gift
package, complete with a $15
gifz certificate from The Berry
Patch, Sage Hull.

For director J. Lee Thompson
("Guns of Navarone") "Happy
Birthday To Me" is a return to a
film form on which he learned
his craft, as Alfred Hitchcock's
dialogue director in London
many years ago.

A psychological mystery -
shocker set on the campus of an
exclusive prep school, "Happy
Birthday To Me" stars Melissa
Sue Anderson (of "Little House
on the Prairie") in her feature
debut, Glenn Ford, Lawrence
Dane, Sharon Acker and Lisa
Langlois, and introduces Tracy
Bregman.

As Virginia Wainwright, Ms.
Anderson portrays a spirited
young senior who has returned
to school after a freak accident
and regenerative brain surgery
which has blocked her memory.

May 5
7 & 9 P.M. - $1

She knows that her motner died
in the tragedy; she remembers
little else.

Welcomed into the 'Top Ten,"
the school's uninhibited inner
circle, she attempts to resume a
normal life. But when her
friends begin cutting class -
permanently - and vanish from
campus - she senses a link with
her own shadowy past.

Soon, the 'Top Ten" will
cease to exist. And there will be
no one left to come to Virginia's
eighteenth birthday party.

Glenn Ford portrays Dr. david
Farraday, Virginia's medical
confidant, who isslowlytryingto
force the jigsaw pieces of his ap-
tients's memory back into place.

But as each detail of the
nightmare accident returns, it
triggers a series o traumatic
black - outs.

"By the night of my birthday
party," says Ms. Anderson, "I
don't know whether I'm the next
murder victim ... or the killer."

The same applies to several of
the voung actors and actresses
who are slain - with macabre
ingenuity - and the story
develops.

"We wrote several different
versions of the climactic birth-
day party at which the killer's
identity is revealed," says
producer Dunning. "We shot
them all - both to keep the
mystery a mystery and to see
which worked best.

"By the time we decided on an
ending, most of the cast had
scattered to other assignments.
They won't actually know who it
was that murdered them until
they see the pictu re with the rest
of the audience."

Arts Festival Coming
To Piedmont Park

Every spring for 28 years, art
in the Sunbelt has gotten a
gigantic and unique showcase -
an entire mid town city park, for a
whole week, in the capital cityof
the South.

It'stheArts Festival of Atlanta,
May 9 - 1 7, 1 981 , in Piedmont
Park

About one million people will
view, participate in and enjoy
this showcase this year. At no
charge.

Evolving from a small back-
yard exhibit to a major arts
event, which now regularly
showcases works of national as
well as regional importance, the
Festival has alwayscombined its
celebration of art with a
celebration of spring and out - of
- doors

Infused with a dynamic spirit
of experimentation, the Festival
seeks both to meet the ever -
changing needs of artists and to
present a show that is uniquely
suited to the setting of a mid-
town city park.

Featured this year will be
more than 10 separate
exhibitions - including outdoor
sclupture and environemntal
site works, contemporary
regional crafts, works by
nationally renowned disabled
artists, and many fine arts
exhibits - as well as some 250
live performances on five stages
and a myriad of workshops and
children's activities.

Students can ride MARTA
to the Arts Festival. Catch the
MARTA tram to the Five Points
station and take the bus (31,10,
27 or 45) from there

"On The Right Track "
Is On The Wrong Track

by Jane Zanca
On The RightTrack isa movie
that starts out with a cute idea
but falls flat from the opening
scenes and goes downhill from
there.

Gary Coleman plays an
enterprising, parent - less kid,
Lester, who lives in a baggage
locker in a train station. Lester
makes money by shining shoes,
and lives on a monotonous diet
of pizza. Lester is afraid to go
outside of the station because
the urban world is full of danger,
and he dreams of starting a
business and making his life
permanently in the station.

Lester also has a psychic
talent for ca lling the races. Once
word gets out about his talent,
he hounded by a lotof people, in-
cluding a juvenile officer who
was assigned to ship the kid out
to custodial care. The officer has
second thoughts once he
realizes the lucrative potential of
Lester's special talents.

There is a lot of jerking aorund
in this movie. the f irstexample is
some very bad camera action in
a lot of scenes that sets the
stomach churning. The scenes
bounce, twitch, whirl, and blur.

The characters jerk, too. The
juvenile officer is a flip - flop guy
who plays an odd combination of
villain/nice guy. He has an on
again/ off again relationship
with a sweet young woman who
works in the station and whose
maternal concern for Lester is as
predictable as Lester's diet.

The acting jerks from
overdone to insipid. There is a
happy ending but unfortunately

the happiness is in being
released from 90 minutes of
boredom.

What a pity. Gary Coleman is
one dynamite kid, but he just
isn i able to hold this movie
together. The one brilliant stroke
in the film is the performance by
Maureen Stapleton, who plays a
big lady with some very discern-
ing taste in fashion.

This movie is a bad deal for
kids. It is rated PG, has a young
favorite in the leading role, and
the advertising for it is targeted
for "children and young teens.
Like too many movies these
days, we find a child star playing
in a story that is aimed at kids but
has an "adult" plot and a lot of
gutter language. The plot
proceeds on the premise that
your average 12 year old will
understand horse racing, bookie
procedures, and betting odds. At
one point, all the action stops
and the word "asshole" is
thrown around three times, as if
to make SURE that EVERYONE
hears it correctly. The juvenile
officer and his sweetheart get in
bed on their first evening
together, and spend a lot of time
afterwards debating whether
they "love" each other, equating
all that heat in bed with love.

A thinking adult would find
this to be cheap fare, but at least
has the advantage of being able
to make that judgment based on
sounder principles and mature
experience. It gives me the
shudders to think how many
(myself included) took the kid-
dies to see th is one and ended up
very, very sorry.

Freud Film Shown

by Scottie Echols

Last week the Psychology
Department presented a film
about Dr. Sigmund Freud en-
titled Freud: The Hidden Nature
of Man, part of the series, Ma-
jesty in Madness. The movie
was superbly done and
extremely informative, explain-
ing Freud's startling and radical
ideas of the Victorian period.
Skillfully, the actor playing the
Viennese doctor interweaves
facts of Freud's life with his
thoughts on man 's powerful un-
conscious. The leading authority
on the nervous systems of

children, he began to study
man's behavior in an attempt to
understand the lack of control
over his natural urges. By look-
ing into hisown mindand listen-
ing to his patients, Freud
developed his theory of sexual
origins of hysteria or mental
illness. He labeled the com-
ponents of personality of Id, Ego
and Superego and conducted a
five year study of dreams. The
film carefully covered these
points with elaborate
dramatization and fascinating
dialogue to make an extremely
gripping presentation.

Alumnae Reminisce During Special Weekend

by Colleen Flaxington

A whole day of events for
alumnae and their husbands
culminated, for those ladies who
graced the Agnes Scott campus
a span of fifty years ago, in a
dinner meeting of the Agnes
Scott Fifty Year Club.

Promptly at 6:30 (last Satur-
day August 25 ), 98 year old John
Flint, who has worked at Agnes
Scott under all four presidents,
rang the dinner bell, signaling
that dinner was served in
Rebekah Reception Room,
which originally served as the
dining hall. Mr. Flint used to
walk up and down the porch,
ringing the bell that called the
girls to meals. After fifteen
minutes, if one of them were
late, there was no talking him
into letting her in. Girls used to

scamper to breakfast wearing
long coats over their rolled up
oaiama bottoms.

It was a great sight to see the
reception room bright with lively
reminiscing and cheerful
chatter. Officers of the Fifty Year
Club who organized the dinner
were: President Josephine
Bridgman, '27; VP Carolyn
Smith, '25; and Sec'y Treas.
Mary Prim Fowler, '29.

The firstorder of business was
to officially induct the class of
'31 into the Fifty Year Club. This
task being speedily completed by
President Perry, it was
acknowledged by Martha North
Watson Smith, '31, who res-
ponded with a message written
in the 1931 annual by former

dean Nannette Hopkins. The
name caused one to realize that
these ladies are a part of the his-
tory and "tradition" of Agnes
Scott; tradition which was
brought to life Saturday night.

"I mostly remember
my friends. They'll
always be close to
me, even though I

don't see them often/'

A special treat for all was a
slide show of scenes from old
Silhouettes. Each picture
brought exclamations of
recognition and questions of
"Do you remember when . . . ?"

The highlight of the evening
was the speech (though it was

more like a story) given by Polly
Stone Buck, '24. She recounted
how she arrived at Agnes Scott,
strictly ordered not to speak to
anyone unless they had the
identifying purple and white rib-
bon which signified them as
Scotties and therefore OK. She
told how some of the less-tidy
students used to find notes on
their dressers stating, "This
room is a disgrace," and how a
favorite maid had once said she
could always tell who was a real
lady - the girls who had the mes-
siest rooms, because they were
the ones used to having
someone pick up after them I She
spoke of the daring faculty who
had motorcars; how all the girls
came to Scott with long hair and
left with it fashionably bobbed;
of packages of food from home

shared with the whole hall; of
how Kleenex came to be
accepted as respectable as
handke rchieves.

Altogether Ms. Buck's talk,
entitled "Other Things", held a
wealth of reminiscences of life
at Agnes Scott fifty years ago. A
delightful evening closed with
the Alma Mater.

Though those four years and
our four years are separated by
half a century, when some alum-
nae were asked what they
especially remembered about
their time at Agnes Scott, the
answers sound quite familiar:

"I remember how hard I had to
study!" - ... it was a lot of fun . .
." "I mostly remember my
friends. They'll always be close
to me, even though I don't see
them very often."

Reach For The Stars

by Marty Wooldridge

The sky presents some dazzl-
ing sights this week. Tonight the
meteor shower Eta Aquarid
reaches its annual maximum;
the greatest number of meteors
can be seen, approximately 20
per hour. However, the shower

itself lasts through May 12. If
you stand in an open place
(hockey field) several hours after
dark and face south (towards
tennis courts) and look up about
60 from the horizon, you will
have the best chance of seeing a
few "shooting stars." This

shower is especially interesting
because it is one of two thought
to occur as Earth passes through
a trail of particles traveling in the
same orbit as Halley's Comet.
Since the moon is new during
this time, the sky will be dark
enough to do some good
observing, but go with a friend;
it's safer and more fun that way.

This week the Sun rises at ap-
proximately 6:45 a.m. and sets
at about 8:35 p.m. The days are
approximately 14 hours and 20
minutes long. The moon reaches
first quarter on the night of May
10.

Defying recent trends and
statistics, job prospects for
liberal arts majors may be im-
proving as businesses and in-
dustries begin to look for people
to populate "the other side of the
field," according to career
placement experts. Moreover,
observers find that although
liberal arts graduates have a
harder time getting their first
job, they usua My are promoted to
management positions faster
than graduates from technical
fields.

Gerry Phaneus of Texas
Tech's placement office says
that liberal arts majors, with
their "broad base of knowledge"
and "strong communication
skills," are increasingly con-
sidered best for most kinds of en-
try - level positions.

Phaneus speculates that the
trend will continue despite last
year's grim statistics, which
showed a decrease of 1 1 percent
in the number of job offers to
1980 liberal arts grads. The
reason, he says, is that even
highly technical companies now
need people for the ad-
ministrative sides of the fields.

The "ability to synthesize in-
formation" may be the liberal
arts grad's most marketable
skill, notes Robert Beck of
American Telephone &
Telegraph.

A recent study of 6000 1980
graduates presently employed at
AT&T graded liberal arts
scholars as having the greatest
potential in interpersonal and
administrative skills, intellectual
ability and motivation.

Students Present Independent Projects

Margaret Shirley, '81,
spoke' on 'The Relationship of
Locus of Control and Math
Anxiety," a research project
which she has conducted as part
of the college's independent
study program, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Carden.

Margaret Hodges, '81 dis-
cussed "Sibling Influence on
College Decisions/the report of
a project which she and Prof.
Copple have conducted during
this academic session, survey-
ing pairs of sisters who have
attended Agnes durina the last

ten years. Mrs. Hodges reported
earlier on this project at a
conference on family research
held in Tallahassee, Fla., while
Prof. Copple presented the same
paper to a National Science
Foundation conference for
college teachers in Athens.

The results of two studiescon-
ducted on the campus this year
were presented in the final
Psychology Department Collo-
quium of the year, this
afternoon, in the living room of
the Alumnae House.

Not only do such students
often excel in managerial
positions, but they reach
management level earlier in
their careers than those people

with technical backgrounds, ac-
cording to Beck.

Although liberal arts students
do make good managers in time,
IBM's Tom Horton warns that
such a broad education "may not
help an individual get his first
job." Indeed, a survey of 562
business and government agen-
cies by the Michigan State
University Placement Service
showed that on - campus
recruiters were least impressed
with the "preparedness" of
liberal artsstudents. Not enough
of them demonstrate their skills
during the interview, the survey
found.

Tennis Team Third In State

The Agnes Scott Tennis Team
captured third place in the
Georgia Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women (GAIAW) State Tennis
Tournament held April 25-27 at
Georgia Tech. Agnes Scott,
Georgia Tech (1st), and Emory
(2nd) qualified for the Regional
tournament to be held at
Armstrong State College in
Savannah the weekend of May
8-9. Agnes Scott defeated the
remaining seven teams from the
ten team field which included
Oglethorpe, Armstrong, North
Georgia, Georgia Southwestern,
Berry, Tift and West Georgia in
addition to the top three teams.
Last year Berry and Armstrong
as well as Tech and Emory
finished ahead of Agnes Scott.

The tournament consisted of
six singles flights and three
doubles flights, with each player
accumulating team points as
she proceeded through each
round. To qualify for State, each

player or doubles team had to
play at least fifty percent of the
team's matches at the same
position on the ladder. Agnes
Scott was able to seed four
players based on outstanding
regular season records. Sue
Feese (#1 ), Kathy Fulton (#4), and
Virginia Bouldin (#6) were
seeded third in their flights while
Sue Mason (#5) was seeded
second.

First and second round wins
by Feese, Nancy Griffith (#2),
Fulton, Mason, and Bouldin
placed ASC in third place going
into Friday's semifinal round.
Freshman Sue Mason outlasted
Lynn Adler (Emory) to advance
to the finals where she lost in a
close match to Sally McRobert of
Ga. Tech. Feese, Fulton, and
Bouldin lost in the semifinals to
the eventual tournament
winners.

In doubles play, Griffith and
Mason, having defeated the
number one doubles team from

Feese, Mason
Take State
Tourney Honors

Freshmen Sue Feese and Sue
Mason captured individual
honors at the state tournament
awards ceremony. Sue Feese,
with a 10-5 record (10-2
conference) at the number one
singles position was selected to
the All Conference Team. The
top fifteen players in the
conference are chosen by the
coaches' vote to this team.
Susan Mason received the #5
finalist Trophy as well as selec-
tion to the All tournament
team. Mason finished the state
season with a 12-6 record (1 1 -3

conference) at the number five
position.

According to Coach Messick,
"Both Sue (Sadie) Feese and
Sue (Luella Skimp) Mason have
played consistently at the #1 and
#5 positions. Their aggressive,
determined style of play will con-
tinue to better their individual
records as well as the team's.
Each player has broughtskill and
determination to the team. It will
be exciting to watch their im-
provement as they meet the
challenges of regional
competition."

Looking Back

MAY 4, 1626 in 1932 - Al Capone, the mobster then listed as
Public Enemy Number One by the Justice Department, was jailed in
the Atlanta Penitentiary on the charge of income tax evasion.

MAY 5, 1 925 - A biology teacher by the name of John T. Scopes
was arrested in Dayton, Tennessee for teaching the theory of
evolution in violation of a state statute.

MAY 6, 1840 - The first postage stamp in history was printed. It
was the famous "penny black" stamp that was issued in Victorian
England.

Also on May 6 but in the year 1895 - Rudolph Alfonzo Raffaele
Pierre Filibert Guglielmi de Valentina d'Antonguolla was born in
Italy. Most people know him as that most famous of all moving-pic-
ture lovers, Rudolph Valentino.

MAY 7, 1945 - World War II came to an end as Germany
surrendered to General Eisenhower in Rheims, France.

MAY 8, 1541 - The Mississippi River was discovered by Hernando
de Soto.

Also on May 8 in 1 884 - Harry S. Truman was born on a Missouri
farm.

MAY 9, 1754 - Benjamin Franklin's "Join or Die" cartoon depic-
ting a dissected snake with each part representing a colony, was
printed in his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette. This famous
drawing was the first newspaper cartoon ever printed in America.

(Information taken from Stanford M. Mirkin, What Happened When
(New York: Ives Washburn, Inc., 1966.)

Sue Feese seeded # 1 at ASC was named to All Conference Team .

Berry, lost to #2 seeded
Armstrong in the semis. Kim
Lenoir and Sue Feese lost a
heartbreaking quarterfinals
match to the #2 seeded Emory

team in a third set tie - breaker
(3-6, 6-3, 6-7). The Emory
doubles team later captured the
state title in comparatively easy
matches. Meredith Manning

and Susan Kennedy, playing #3
doubles, lost a close 6-4, 6-4
match to the team from West
Georgia who later placed
second.

The success of the team can
be measured in its achievement
of the goals set earlier in the
season. These goals were to
place third in the State
Tournament, to win more than
fifty percent of all matches, and
to play confident, consistent
matches. Theteam finished with
a season record of 9-6 and was
8-3 in confernece matches. The
proof of its third place finish, the
third place team trophy, has
been on display in Buttrick Hall,
Leticia Pate Evans Dining Hall,
and other prominent places
around campus. The tennis team
nas as its theme song "We Are
Family" by Sisters Sledge and by
using a line from this song as
inspiration - "Have faith in you
and the things you do" -
promises to continue its success
in the upcoming regional
tournament.

Tuition Increases Hit Nation

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
Many colleges and universities
have already announced tuition
increases of up to 14 percent for
the 1981 -82 academic year, but
that may be just another in a
decade - long series of tuition
hikes of eight - to - 12 percent
per year.

The forecast for large annual
tuition jumps through the
decade is on ly one of the gloomy

predictions reached by the
American Council on Education
(ACE) in a study published in
Educational record, its
quarterly journal.

The forecasts were made for
the ACE by David W. Breneman
of the Brookings Institute, who
added that the drastic decline in
the number of 18 - year - olds
during the next 10 years and the
erosion of public and private

FIVE FASCINATING WOMEN come together for a wedding
rehearsal that never comes off in the probing, witty drama
"TAKEN IN MARRIAGE/' to be staged by the Agnes Scott
College Blackfriars May 15 and 16 and May 22 and 23. The
women are (left to right) Leigh Hooper of Decatur as the nerve -
wracked bride, Ann Harris (standing) of Doraville as the bride's
mother, Andrea Wofford of Carrollton as the cynical, often
married sister, Lisa Willoughby (seated in chair) of Michigan as the
spinster aunt and Marietta Townsend of North Carolina as Dixie,
the entertainer hired to sing at the wedding. For tickets, call 377-
1200 weekdays only from 1 to 5 p.m.

Phi Beta Kappa
Students Announced

by Colleen O'Neill

"Profit from your own
weaknesses/' was one of the
many wise phrases delivered by
Mary Ann Caws, the guest
speaker at the Phi Beta Kappa
convocation Wednesday. Phi
Beta Kappa wasfirstestablished
at William and Mary College in
1776. Women were first ad-
mitted into the organization in
1875. Phi Beta Kappa is
dedicated to Friendship,
Morality, and Literature. Agnes
Scott's chapter of Phi Beta Kap-
pa, which is the second in
Georgia, was established in
1 926 . Th is yea r the Agnes Scott
seniors elected by the Beta
chapter of Phi Beta Kappa are

Mary Elizabeth Arant, Ma Leola
Burdette, Carol Ruth Chapman,
Mary Elizabeth DeBuse, Clyda
Dare Gaither, Susan Gail
Kennedy, Nancy Alexander
Nelson, Julie Anne Oliver, Shari
Diane Shaw, Martha Thomson
Sheppard, Claudia Stucke, and
Luci Neal Wannamaker.

Dr. Caws is a graduate of Bryn
Mawr. She received her Masters
from Yale and her P.H.D. from
the University of Kansas. She
has earned fellowships from
such prestigious organizations
as the National Endowment for
the Humanities. Tuesday

support for graduate education
could force as many as 200
colleges to close.

His findings parallel those of
the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES),
which last spring also predicted
some 200 colleges will be closed
by the enrollment crunch of the
1980s.

The NCES speculated that
private, four - year liberal arts

colleges will be least likely to
survive the decade.

Breneman thinks that "the
most troubled group will be the
former teacher colleges that
began to develop into com-
prehensive state universities in
the .1960s, and now find
themselves stranded in a state of
semi-development and
uncertain mission."

Similarly, in a speech last Oc-

tober to administrators from
Jesuit colleges and universities,
Stanford education Prof. Lewis
Mayhew noted that the first two
victims of the enrollmentcrises -
Sacred Heart in Los Angeles and
Lone Mountain College near
San Francisco - were just such
schools that "attempted radical
departures from their traditions"
in the last 20 years, and were left
vulnerable to the peculiar
problems of the 1980s.

Blackfriars Open Play

The Atlanta premiere of the
off-Broadway play 'Taken in
Marriage " comes to Atlanta May
15 and 16 and May 22 and 23.
The Agnes Scott College
Blackfriars will stage this prob-
ing and witty look at five women
waiting to begin a wedding
rehearsal that never takes place.
Curtain is at 8:15 p.m. in the
Winter Theatre of the Dana Fine
Arts Building.

The play's characters, waiting
in vain for the groom, are the
nerve-wracked bride; her
cynical, often married sister;
their humorous spinster aunt

and the sisters' crusty mother,
unshakable in her belief in
loyalty and fidelity. They are
joined by the tough, wordly
Dixie, the entertainer hired to
sing at the wedding. As the
evening wears on, Dixie prods
and annoys her sophisticated
companions into letting down
their defenses and revealing
their secret, private feelings and
the frustrations which lie
beneath their well-bred veneers.

According to the play's direc-
tor, John W. Toth of the Agnes
Scott theatre department,
"Taken in Marriage" is "a prob-

ing look at the role of women in
our society. The women come
out better but not necessarily
happier."

This two-act play by Thomas
Babe was first performed in
1 979 at the New York
Shakespeare Festival by ac-
tresses Meryl Streep, Kathleen
Quinlan, Colleen Dewherst and
Nancy Marchand. The New
Yorker critic Edith Oliver praised
that producton as "a fascinating
and tantalizing show from
beginning to end. The writing is
witty and precise, and it cuts
deep."

RTC Prospective Day
To Be Held Friday

by Colleen O'Neill

The Agnes Scott Admissions
office has planned a special
visitation day for prospective
Return to College students.
Friday, May 15, will be the first
such day held by Agnes Scott to
encourage enrollment in the
R.T.C. program.

Mary K. Jarboe, Ad-
ministrative Assistant to the
Director of Admissions, has
been working with a group of
current and former R.T.C. s to
develop ideas for the
recruitment of future Return to
college students. This visitation
day will be similar to the Ap-
plicants' Weekends which are
regularly held for prospective

boarding students. R.T.C. s will
act as guides. The visitors will
attend a 10:30 class Friday, and
also a panel discussion with ad-
ministrators, R.T.C. s, and a
faculty member. They will lunch
with current Return to College
students and then go on tours of

the campus.

All of this is part of the Ad-
missions Office's campaign to
attract more women who are
returning to college. This year 1 2
or 1 3 Agnes Scott graduates will
be R.T.C.s. This is the highest
number yet.

Behind Door Four

Sorry, no cat stories foryou this week. But, I do have something for
you to "meow" about. During the May 1 2 Rep meeting, we will dis-
cuss possible revisions to the existing Parietal hours. According to
our survey, (which you all so kindly completed - mucho thanks!), the
majority of Scott women desire some change in the Parietal hours.
Rep did a follow-up door - to - door survey this week to gather more
concise data on exact changes you desire. Some of the major
revisions suggested included Friday afternoon and evening and
Saturday night male visitation hours.

Exact days and hours of parietals will be set this Tuesday in the
Rep Room. And this meeting (at 6:30) is a "purrr - feet" opportunity
for you to express your ideas on any proposed changes or to
recommend other changes (that even includes no changes at all). No
matter what opinion you have, it should be used in assessing the
present Parietal system as well as in determining a possible new
one.

In case you are interested in understanding how such a change
would occur, here's a brief description of the steps involved. This in-
formation can also be found in your handbook.

1 . Students express a desire for a change. Rep Council does some
type of survey to determine the whys and whats of the change.

2 Rep Council writes a proposal (a RC) describing the change and
whv students feel such a change would be beneficial.

3. Rep Council approves the RC with a two-thirds vote.
Specia I Note : If there are students who are opposed to the RC, they

can petition (fifty signatures are required) to me within 72 hours of
the decision. The RC will then be posted for one week. After that
week, a student body meeting will be held. If there is a quorum of
one-fourth of the student body, a vote on the RCwill betaken (again,
a two-thirds vote is required). If the students vote to revoke Rep's
decision, then it all stops here. But, if the rC is approved, then we
proceed to Step 4.

4. The RC is given to t he Administrative Committee for approval.

Gray Matters :

Defining the issue

by Laurie McBrayer

With recent bulletins carrying
news concerning government
financial aid cuts, much atten-
tion has been directed toward
the financing of a private school
education. Now, in addition to
the threat of curtailing
government loans, are the
tidings that reveal tuition in-
creases across the nation. In this
regard, Agnes Scott is not an
exception.

Last year students were
incensed with the $25 increase
in the student activity fee.
However, President Marvin B.
Perry, Jr. revealed that this was
the first increase in 10 years.
These fees are distributed to
sGAwhich allocates the fundsto
campus organizations that serve
to inform and entertain the
students. Students at Scott
should appreciate the fact that
so many organizations exist to
benefit a small, but diverse
student body.

Student reaction to the in-
crease in the total cost to attend
ASC seems to fall into two
categories. Some students are
angered. Others react with a "so
. ., what's new?" attitude. Indeed

To the Editor

The incident involving the ex-
Washington Post reporter Janet
Cooke has recently captured the
attentions of both the media and
the public. Cooke's false story
about Jimmy, the eight year old
heroin addict, won the Pulitzer
Prizeandthen "loot"the Pulitzer
Prize and has caused an uproar
in the world of journalism. Every
columnist in every newspaper,
be it the New York Times or the
Athens Banner - Herald, has
looked upon this incident as a
terrible blow to one of the coun-
try's "triedandtrue" institutions

tuition costs rise just as housing
costs and postage stamp prices.

Although the cost to attend
college has risen considerably in
the past few years, one should
examine the cost of attending
Scott within a certain
framework. The value of an
Agnes Scott education really can
not be measured in terms of
dollars. The very professional
and dedicated staff and stimulat-
ing curriculum in addition to the
many cultural events on cam-
pus, make the college
experience a special one. This
type of experience is not unique
to Agnes Scott. Many fine
women's colleges offer similar
opportunities. What is
significant, however, is that
maong 20 well - known
women's colleges in the
northeast and southeast, Agnes
Scott has the lowest com-
prehensive fee and
demonstrates the third lowest
increase for the school term
1980-81 to 1981 -82.

Agnes Scott has the lowest
cost because the college
rece ives a la rge endowment. Ac-
cord ing to President Perry,
operating costs are "just under

- journalism. Yet along with the
bad, there always comes some
good. Let us reflect upon the
good for a moment. Hopefully if
there is one thing we've learned
from this, it is that you can't trust
everything you read and hearl
For far too long, Americans have
taken literally every word the
media has presented. This is not
to say that the media is inten-
tionally false, just that it often in-
nocently misrepresents. Too
many times a citizen reads a
brief article and considers
himself/ herself an authority on
that subiect. Regardless of

seven million dollars" and
"come from three main sources:
student charges (42%), en-
dowment income (also about
42%), and gifts and
miscellaneous income (about
15%)."

President Berry also reports
that "Agnes Scott's total will be
over $1 000 less than Randolph -
Macon's, almost $2000 less
than Hollins' and Sweet Briar's
and over $3000 less than Bryn
Mawr's, Mount Holyoake's,
Smith's, and Wellesley's." For
more precise figures, see the
chart accompanying article.

President Perry explained the
reasoning behind the com-
prehensive fee, in his opening
newsletter, "we must increase
our charges - not just to keep up
with those of our strong sister
colleges, but to maintain and im-
prove Agnes Scott's excellent
academic program."

Don't complain about Agnes
Scott's rising costs. The finan-
cial aid budget increased just as
the tuition. If one must complain,
then complain about the cost of
living.

whetherthe article iscompletely
correct, there is no way that
anyone can know the full story;
in a five - hundred word article.
What that article ideally should
be is a catalyst to interest; from
there you move on to discover
"the rest of the story." Certainly
Janet Cooke's falsification has
caused unfortunate problesm in
the reporting business that soon
won't be overcome, but because
of it maybe, just this once, we
can begin to understand what is
meant by the phrase "there's
more to it than meets the eyel"

Social Council Seeks Support

by Kitsie Basset
Kitty Cralle

Social Council would like to
report that the TGIF and Spring
Formal were great successes.
Everything went very smoothly
and everyone seemed to have a
good time. Security has been
very pleased with the behaviour
at all social events this quarter.
The wine cooler party held on
May 2 was a disappointment to
Social Council. The party, itself,
was very nice. The wine was
refreshing on a hot day and Tom
Quigley provided excellent

entertainment; the only problem
was that the turnout was very
poor. There will be a TGIF on
May 15, and possibly another
social function towards the end
of the quarter.

Social Council is going togreai
pains this year to sponsor ac-
tivities which the student body
wants. However, they cannot
meet the student body's needs if
the student body does not voice
their needs. Only two students
(besides the entire social coun-

cil), bothered to attend the con-
vocation held several weeks ago
by Social Council. This would
have been everyone 's golden op-
portunity to tell the Council
directly what they wanted.
Likewise, the suggestion box in
the mailroom has remained
empty. The Council would like to
urge everyone to please take
every chance possible to let
them know what type of social
functions are needed, whether it
be via the suggestion box, the
Agnes Scott Profile, or to a
social council member.

Upcoming Events -

May 11 at 9:45 in the Hub
there will be a Large Group
meeting honoring the Seniors.
Some of them will share with us
what they have lea rned at Agnes
Scott. Refreshments.

May 15 at 1 1 :30 in McClean
for Chapel we'll have Erin Echols
a Mid Eastern Studies major at
Duke University who will tell us
of her plans to do mission work
in Egypt this coming summer
and Frances Barrett a Bible and
Chemistry major at Weaton
College who played on a basket-
ball team last summer in South
America with Overseas Mis-
sions. She'll tell of her
experiences. Both wish to talk to
students about their burden for
the world.

The Gripe Session for Chris-
tian Association April 27 was
well attended. I was encouraged
to hear from girls with a variety
of opinions and suggestions. We
opened the meeting with Scrip-
ture dealing with Supportive
Criticism such as "Better is open
rebuke than hidden love." Prov.
27:5. The floor was then opened
to discussion with the condition
that no people were personally
attacked in the process.

Some comments made during

the meeting were:

1 ) Don't use "religious" terms
on posters "Amen" to that!

2) Some have heard that CA
cabinet is made up of a bunch of
"Biblebeaters" and so they have
avoided the meetings - but they
admitted that once they risked
coming to meetings and getting
to know the individuals on the
board more personally they did
not find us to be repressive. I say
- yes - we love God's word and
try to follow it, but we should not
be arrogant - we seek instead to
let the Bible speak for itself.

3) Some would like to see
intellectual discussions dealing
with the theology and "hot" is-
sues - but it was also suggested
that these be deferred to other
groups such as WFAandthatwe
sponser forma I debates between
"experts" followed by dis-
cussion.

4) Some accused the cabinet
of spreading a certain kind of
Christianity. My question . . .
How many different kinds are
there? We represent many
different denominations and
welcome everyone from Church
of Christ to Catholics to join us in
activities. The basics must
stand, however, one truth all

Christian Churches have in com-
mon is their belief "in Christ all
the fulness of the Deity lives in
bodily form." Colossians 2:9 and
"that Christ died for our sins ac-
cording to the Scriptures, that he
was buried, that he was raised
on the third day according to the
Scriptures and that he appealed
to Peter and the twelve ... I
Corinthians 1 5:3-5.

5) Some would like to hear a
more intellectual approach to
our faith. Jesus said "Love the
Lord your God with all your heart
and all your soul and all your
mind." Matthew 22:37 Chris-
tianity and the Bible can stand
up under the scrutiny of inves-
tigation and criticism. Let us
press on to know more.

6) One girl said that Christians
should not be embarrassed to in-
vite others to Christian As-
sociation functions and Church.
I agree, "For God did not give us
a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of
power, of love and of self - dis-
ciple." II Timothy 1 :7.

I believe I have covered the
main points stressed during the
"Gripe Session." Please feel
free to give me more feedback.

5. If the RC would bring a drastic change to student life policies, the
Administrative Committee would consult the Board of Trustees for
their approval.

6. If the Board of Trustees orthe Administrative Committee do not
approve the RC,then it would return to Rep Council for revisions and
take us back to Step 1 .

But, if the students, Administrative Committee, and the Baord of
Trustees approve the RC, then ladies, we would have a change in
policy. Just imagine, all that in just six easy stepsl

It all begins this Tuesday. Try to make it to the meeting.

Club Explains
Purpose

There is a committee on cam-
pus called Catalyst, and we are
willing to listen to all complaints,
investigate, and make
recommendations to the ap-
propriate body on campus. In the
past, Catalyst has investigated
and made recommendations
about such problems as the drin-
king policy, dead week, and park-
ing on campus. Areas we are
planning to look into include the
possibility of having minors as
well as double majors; having a

greater diversity of social events
on campus; mail on Saturdays;
parietals; and food. We would
appreciate your comments on
these and other areas of
interest. The members of
Catalyst are: Kitsie Bassett,
Denise Leary, Patti Pair, Marty
Wooldridge, Susanna
Michelson, and Ginger Lyon.
Please respond to the Catalyst
survey in your box and return it
to the Catalyst box for the
mailroom. Thanks!

The Weeh In Review

by Val Hepburn

Bobby Sands, the IRA guerrilla
who had been fasting for sixty-
six days, died on Tues., May 5.
The 27 year old Sands was fas-
ting to gain political prisoner
status for convicted members of
the Irish Republican Army. The
IRA has been battling to end
British rule in Northern Ireland
in hopes to unite with the
province of Irish Republic.
Because the Irish Republic is
overwhelmingly Catholic,
Protestant extremist violently
oppose and link with it.
Throughout the past eleven and
a half years 3000 people have
been slain.

Secretary of State Alexander
Haig recently told NATO officials
that the U. S. intends to begin
talks with the Soviet Union by
the end of the year on the reduc-

tion of nuclear missiles in
Europe, providing that the Soviet
Union does not interfere with
Poland. In Haig's address tot he
14 other NATO members the
following points were outlined.

- The U.S. and other alliance
members are greatly disturbed
by the growth of Soviet nuclear
strength in Eastern Europe.

- The U.S. rejects a
moratorium on nuclear missies
in Europe, which would leave
the Soviets with a great ad-
vantage while NATO members
would be stopped from in-
creasing strength.

- British and French arsenals
will not be included in
bargaining.

In response to the plans, a
spokesman for the Belgium
Foreign Ministry said it "wasthe
minimum we expected."

It appears that House
Democrats have fallen short in
their attempt to block President
Reagan's proposed budget. The
failure seems to be riding on the
heels of the announcement of
Senate Democratic Leader
Robert Byrd (D - W.VA.) that he
will support Reagan's budget.

Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill
conceded that he only had 175
solid committments in op-
position to the Reagan budget.
The number is 42 votes short of
the number needed to block the
Reagan plan. The vote on the
budget will betaken Wed., May 6
and depending on the outcome
may have significant effect on
the strength of the Reagan ad-
ministration.

Curriculla Add Computer
Training; Experience

Ithaca, N.Y. - (I. P.) - Believing
that computer literacy has
become as vital to a liberal
education as literacy in
language and mathematics,
Cornell's new vice - provost for
computing is proposing a major
upgrade in the University's com-
puter facilities and instruction.

"In the 1980s, every student
who graduates from college
should have a basic knowledge
of computing," says Kenneth M.
King, the former vice -
chancellor for university
systems at the City University of
New York who assumed the
newly - created position at
Cornell this year. "Almost every
university graduate going into
the working world will have
significant contact with com-
puters or will supervise those
who do."

King stops short of suggesting
that Cornell follow the lead of
Harvard in making computer
instruction a required part of the
curriculum. - at least notyet. But
such a requirement would be
possible afterthe five - year build
- up of computing equipment
and instructional capabilities
that he envisions.

Estimates of computer literacy
among students here in the
various schools and colleges
range from nea rly 1 00 percent to
nearly zero, according to King, a
theoretical physicist who has
worked as an IBM researcher
and who developed computer
science curriculum at Columbia
University. He presented his fin-
dings recently to university
trustees in a proposed com-
puting plan for the 1 980s.

While about 100 percent of
undergraduate engineering
students at Cornell can be con-
sidered computer literate, the
vice - provost discovered, only
about f 20 percent of
undergraduates in the College of
Arts and Sciences, can "talk" to
computers Least fluent in the

language of computers are
students in the Law School
where a scant 5 percent have
any contact with computing and
only 1 percent are thought to be
literate. Overall, about 30
percent of students here have
sufficient computer knowledge
to write at least a simple
program; an additional 30
percent have had some contact
with computing.

Computer literacy at Cornell is
"about average" among com-
parable major universities, King
observes. At Dartmouth, some
90 percent of the students are
computer literate. Princeton and
Stanford are also cited as having
high rates. And with the new
curriculum requirements at
Harvard, the computer literacy
rate among graduates will
presumably be 100 percent. But
some other universities have
made less progress than has
Cornell in preparing graduates
for the 1980s, King notes.
To achieve such a substantial
improvement in instructional
computing capacity will require
more computer hardware.
Currently, there are 77 interac-
tive computer terminals
available for student use. Some
665 interactive terminals and
more microcomputers will be
needed to give a student body of
the present size access to com-
puting facilities, a goal that King
proposes to reach in five years
And of course, much more
instruction will be needed.

With an eye on rapid
technological changes in com-
puter equipment - in particualr,
the trend towa rd miniaturization
- the vice - provost expects
students arriving on campus will
soon be packing their own
microcomputers just as
routinety asthey now bring hand
calculators or stereos.

But there will always be a
need for a full range of com-
puters on a university campus,

he expects. And for larger
problems and for general
purpose software, we will need
big, centralized computers. The
latest acquisition, a DEC - 2060,
is intended primarily for instruc-
tional use. The new equipment
has some impressive
capabilities:

Described as a user - friendly,
multi - language interactive
processing system, the
equipment has a 1 million - word
memory and three disk drives of
40 million words each as well as
two tape drives.

The system can accommodate
48 simultaneous users. All
public terminals on campus will
be able to have access to the dEC
- 2060.

Operating at a speed of 1
million instructions per second,
the system can handle software
in BASIC, FORTRAN, APL, CPL,
COBOL AND Assembler
languages.

"All the deans recognize the
extent to which computer
knowledge is necessary for their
students," King concludes.
"Gradually, all faculty will come
to realize the place of computing
is something that Cornell has to
excel at. This has the support of
the president and the provost. If
it didn't, I wouldn't be here."

Junior Jaunt
Involves Many

by Kitsie Bassett

Junior Jaunt, this year held in
conjunction with the English
Renaissance Festival, was a
huge success according to
Junior Class President Kathy
Helgeson. 'The support was
more that we could have ever
hoped for, and the whole thing
went off super,'' commented
Kathy. Everyone on campus
seemed to have some part in the
project. The freshmen did the
lunch booth at the fair, the
sophomores served at the ban-
quet, the juniors sold tee-shirts
and operated the game booths,
and the seniors held the raffle, in
which everything from a dirty
book to a weekend in a mounta in
cabin was offered.
Organizations operating various
booths atthefair included Honor
Court, Athletic Association,
Silhouette, Rep Council, Arts
Council, Social Council, Chris-

tian Association, and the RTCs
and Dav Students.

At least $500 was raised to be
donated to the Council on
Battered Women. The donation
was greatly appreciated ac-
cording to Susan May, executive
director. Ms. May said that the
council provides shelter for any
women and their children who
suffer physical or emotional
abuse from their partner. A
woman may stay there up to 30
days, in which time she receives
food, shelter, and counseling.
The Agnes Scott donation will
probably go towards general
operating costs which require a
great deal of money. In addition
to offering shelter, the council
also provides a crisis line. Ms.
May added that students may be
members of the council for $5.

Carson Acts As
Role Mode

What's a good way to learn
social skills and overcome
shyness?

Watching 'The Tonight
Show" can be a good start, says
U. of Pennsylvania Psychology
Professor Jeffrey Young.

Young, a staff member at
Penn's Center for Cognitive
Therapy, often has clients who
are unable to start relationships,
because of their shyness or a
lack of social skills. One of the
first things he does with many of
these patients is have them
watch Johnny Carson on late-
night television.

"The idea," he says, "is that
one of his real skills is being able
to make people feel comfortable
talking, being a

conversationalist, hor peoDle
who don't know how to act in
initial social contact, watching is
very helpful."

Young doesn't want his
patients to copy Carson,
however, only learn from him.
After a patient has viewed 'The
Tonight Show," Young will prac-
tice conversation with him,
pretending to be a stranger. This
kind of therapy can help some
patients overcome shyness and
help others learn more ap-
propriate social behavior, Young
says.

The overabundance of talk
shows might make such
treatment easy to find, but
Young cautions against using
other hosts as role models

College Seniors Aided In
Establishing Credit

Applying for and getting a job
is probably the foremost concern
of most graduating seniors. But
there is another kind of applica-
tion you should be thinking
about credit.

Why?

Because establishing a credit
rating like finding a job is an
important step to financial
independence.

For example, did you know
that in some states you can't rent
a car without a major charge or
credit card? In addition to a
driver's license, most retailers
require a card for ED before
agreeing to cash a personal
check. With a bank credit card
or charge card you can get ready
cash when you are far from
home.

And, a fact of life: having your
first card makes it easier to get
other ones. Other kinds of credit
that let you make major pur-
chases, like a car or home, will
also be easier to get once you
have established a credit rating.

Only The Size Is The Same

Before you apply for a card,
you should understand the dif-

ferences between a "credit" and
a "charge" card. While the
terms are often used inter-
changeably, they are not the
same.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO (charge
cards), including American Ex-
press, Carte Blanche, and Diners
Club, charge an annual fee used
to support services offered to
members. There are no preset
spending limits. Spending limits
are flexible and depend primarily
on an individual's personal his-
tory of spending and paying.

Because payment of the entire
bill is due upon receipt, charge
cards help eliminate the temp-
tation to spend more money than
one can realistically afford, so
they can be a good money
management tool.

BUY - NOW - PAY - LATER
(credit cards) like MasterCard
and VISA are primarily issued
through banks. They were often
called "free" cards because
there was no annual fee to use
them. Now, though, many banks
have initiated annual fees.

The banks receive most of

Vintage Silver
Beatles Album
To Be Released

A new and fascinating album
featuring John Lennon, Paul
McCartney, George Harrison
and Peter Best (Ringo Starr's
predecessor) is soon to be
released. The album, "Dawn of

the Silver Beatles," was re-
corded circa 1962 and re-mixed
and edited this year. The cap-
turing of this history-making
first-known Silver Beatles' re-
cording session is certain to be a
hit with collectors.

Featured on the album are
two Lennon/McCartney origi-
nals and re-worked songs origi-

nally done by Chuck Berry, The
Coasters, Carl Perkins, and even

Bobby Vee ("Take Good Care
of My Baby"). The quality of the
recording is surprisingly good,
and the youthful voices of the
Silver Beatles bring back
memories of the early Beatles'
sound.

A limited number of albums
will be pressed, and each one
will be numbered and registered.
"Dawn of the Silver Beatles" is
on the PAC label and will be
distributed by United Distribu-
tors Lyrics, Ltd. of Phoenix,
Arizona.

their income from interest
charges collected on unpaid
balances. The annual percentage
rate on these cards can run as
high as 24 percent. At these
rates, the interest alone could
run up to hundreds of dollars on
an annual basis. There is also a
spending limit to each account
Retail and oil company cards
are in this same category, but
can generally only be used at
outlets of the company that
issued the card.

Special Student Programs

It isn't as difficult to establish
a credit rating as you might think
Some card issuers have special
programs directed at graduating
seniors.

American Express, for exam-
ple, has a special program for
students. If you are a college
senior within one year of grad-
uation, you can qualify for the
Card if you have the promise of a
job paying $10,000 or more a
year, and no negative credit his-
tory. To request a student appli-
cation, call toll-free (800)
528-8000.

Another way to establish a
credit rating is to take out a
personal loan and repay it in
regular monthly payments.

RTCs Conduct
Psych Studies

As part of the independent study program, Margaret Shirley, and
Margaret Hodges, senior RTCs (Return to College Students), made
psychological studies of math anxiety and sibling influence at ASC.

Margaret Shirley became interested in the "fear of math" when
she sensed this anxiety in many of Agnes Scott's RTCs. The subjects
for this study were male and female volunteers from DeKalb College,
who had taken math placement tests. The participants filled out a
questionnaire aboutmath anxiety and their "locus of control," which
is belief in either external controls of test results (the teacher, the
classroom, etc.), or internal controls ("I'm stupid," "I just don't have
a mathematical mind," etc.). Margaret hypothesized that high
anxiety wouW correlate with high external locus of control. There
was little relationship among males, but this hypothesis proved
correct among female subjects.

Margaret Hodges and Lee Copple, Associate Professor of
Psychology at ASC, surveyed 43 of 147 pairs of sisters who have
both attended ASC to assess sibling influence on decision to attend
the college, professor choice, choice of major, campus activities,
social activities, and career choice. Thirty-one pairs signed release
forms for access to GPA scores, SAT scores, and choice of major.
This information and the results of a questionnaire sent to both
sisters were correlated. The results showed that 72% of the older
women guided their younger sisters in professor choice, and 63% of
the younger siblings were conscious of their sister's attempt to in-
fluence their social decisions.

For the complete result of either of these studies, contact ASC's
Psychology Department.

Archives Salute Yesteryear

Rhodes Hall, located at 1516
Peachtree Street, will open its
doors and grounds for "A Salute
to Yesteryear" on Sunday, May
24. Co-sponsored by the Georgia
Department of /Archives-, and
History and the Atlanta Chapter
of the Victorian Society in
America, the event will run from
2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Rhodes Hall, a restoration pro-
ject of the Archieves, was built in
1903 by Atlanta businessman
A.G. Rhodes. "A Salute to
Yesteryear" will recreate the at-
mosphere of an early twentieth
century afternoon at the man-
sion.

Included in the activities will
be costumed tour guides, silent
films, a turn - of - the century

carriage, and an antique cloth-
ing display. Music will be
provided by the drop of a Hat
barbershop quartet. Visitors will
even be given the opportunity to

try their hands at croquet or
horseshoes or to taste freshly
churned butter. The Royal Punch
& Judy Puppets are also
scheduled to participate in "A
Salute to Yesteryear".

Two exhibitions will also be
unveiled during the afternoon.
"Georgia Artists: A Retrospec-
tive" features colorful paintings,

drawings, prints, watercolors,
and sculptures drawn from the
state's art collection. The show
was put together by the Georgia

Art Bus Program to celebrate its
tenth anniversary. The second
showfeatures memorabilia from
the Coca-Cola Company dating
from 1903 to 1920.

Parking will be available atthe
Peacntree Christian Church,
located at the intersection of
Spring and Peachtree Streets.
Although there is no admission
charge to attend "A Salute to
Yesteryear", donations will be
accepted for the Rhodes Hall

Englisn Artist Exhibits
Art Work at DeKalb Center

by Kitsie Bassett

Studio Dance Theater
performed dances to meet
everyone's taste on April 30 and
May 1 in their Spring recital,
"American Dance Unlimited."
The program consisted of
various American styles of
dance choreographed by SDT
members and director Marylin
Darling.

'There were a few technical
problems but I thought the
dances were terrific and
outstanding. Nancy Childers
certainly deserves an award for
being able to stand on one leg
the longest," commented Ms.
Darling. (A fuse in the amplifier
blew just as the curtain went up
at the start of the first show and
Nancy and Miriam Garret were
forced to hold their positions on
stage.)

The show opened with
"Curtain Going Up," a dance
choreographed by Maryellen
Smith which sought to take the
audience into their own fantasy
world. It was followed by Nancy
Childer's Broadway show dance
"Opening Night." The spirit of
the 1 920's was captured by Tobi
Martin's "Oh Gosh! Oh Gee!"
which featured flappers dancing
the Charleston. Ann Conner
expressed the emotions of a
maturing child in her dance
"Ascent from Childhood," set to
the classical music of Prokofieff.

The second portion of the
show opened with a tap dancing
number, "Happy Feet,"
choreographed by Gay DeWitt.
The audience then experienced
the frustrations of "Traffic Jam,"
a humorous dance in which only
the dancers' feet were seen
below the curtain. A small dog
was the featured guest in this
dance. Bizarre make-up and
movements were used by Beth
Shackleford to create a mime
dance. "Ambiguities." Five
dancers, two of whom were cos-
tumed in bags, used avant-garde
technique for Sarah Campbell's,
"Abstractions."

The final dance of the program
was "Glory Train," a spiritual -
gospel medley choreographed
by Ms. Darling. The music,
which featured gospel favorites
such as "Swing Low - Sweet
Chariot" and 'The Battle Hymn
of the Republic" was performed
live by singer Dyan McKinney,
pianist Joyce Staven and
percussionist Robert Winstead.

Artist, Laurence Holden, a
native of Warrington, England,
and painting instructor at
Georgia State University, is
currently having an exhibit of his
latest work at Arts in South
DeKalb Cultural Arts Center.
Hodlen, an abstract expres-
sionist, has on display his
studies of color and space
designs on large canvases, as
well as on pieces uniquely
sandwiched between large
shapes of plexialass.

Holden earned his B.V.A. in
Sculpture and M.V.A. in Draw-
ing and Painting at Georgia
State University. He has taught
various art courses at
Oglethorpe University, Georgia
State University, Atlanta Federal
Penitentiary, and at the
Downtown Learning Center. At
these educational institutions,
Holden initiated, developed, and
taught with an appointed team,
two interdisciplinary courses to
develop critical research skills in

college bound students entitled,
The Medieval Mind, and The
Renaissance Man. He is also the
developer of curriculums that
have related to the concerns of
sculpture, drawing and painting,
black and white photography,
ceramics, and art history. In
1968 - 1969, Holden developed
an enrichment program in visual
arts for Atlanta Model Cities
programs and directed the im-
plementation of this program in
local Atlanta neighborhoods.

Many of Laurence Holden's
works have been exhibited in
shows and galleries throughout
Atlanta and Georgia. He has
exhibited at West Georgia
College, the Richard Russell
Building, Nexus Galleries,
Mercer University, High
Museum of Art, and at the
Artists in Georgia 1980 Exhibit
at the Telfair Academy of Arts
and Sciences in Savannah, and

Throughout his personal
endeavors in his ac-
complishments as a progressive
Georgia artist, Holden remains
steadfast to his belief that,
"Through my art I seek a way
beyond the formalism of
contemporary abstraction in
thought and art. I seek an in-
citement to wonder in art and a
speculative prayer for a
philosophy of wonder in life."
Holden's belief in this
philosophy towards his ac-
claimed pursuits in the Arts, has
readily earned him awards in the
1969 Atlanta Arts Festival, the
1968 Southeastern Annual at
the High Museum of Art, and a
1977 mural commission with
the city of Atlanta's, Art in Public
Places Award

Antony and Cleopatra, the

current play at the Alliance
Theatre, is their largest produc-
tion attempted this year. Known
for producing Shakespeare on a
large scale, (remember the
revolving stage for Macbeth last
season), the Alliance has
undertaken quite a task in An-
tony and Cleopatra. Containing
43 scenes, set in at least 25

different places, the play
presents a great challenge to

any set designer. Mark Morton s
design for the Alliance is a
masterpiece of simplicity that

allows the numerous scene
changes with ease and
believability. The stage setting is
a mammoth structure traversing
an 80-foot width. It consists of
two large decks (one represen-
ting Rome, the other, Egypt)

flanked by six 30-foot steel scaf-
folding towers.

The play stars Jane Alexander
as Cleopatra and Edward J.

Moore as Antony. Although Ms.
Alexander is a fine actress, she

cannot quite capture the many
sides of Cleopatra. Her

performance lacked a sense of
voluptuousness and the ability

to be a great lover that has
earned Cleopatra the reputation,
from some, as a whore.

David Gale gave an excellent
performance as Enobarbus, An-
tony's closet friend. He

portrayed the struggle in
Enobarbus between his love of

Antony and his love of Rome
very well

The large
messengers

number of
and minor

characters, particularly Roman,
can be confusing to those un-
familiar with the play, but the
strong performances by many

major characters carry it
through.

Overall, the production is a
good chance for lovers of

Shakespeare to see a
masterpiece which is done so

rarely because of its great scale.
Performances continue at the

Alliance Theatre, Atlanta
Memorial Arts Center, until May
23.

woman we can understand as
well as love, a portrait of a
woman with mythological
feminity."

In Shakespeare's play, Cres-
sida is not a Nice Girl from the
beginning. His most radical
alteration is that Cressida
already loves Triolus. Cressida's
non-admirers call her a slut.
Professor Donaldson feels that
the critics have both disapproval
and personal involvement with
Cressida and that most of their
criticism is personal.

Professor Donaldson also dis-
cussed the differences in th
eTriolus character. Cressida's
infidelity is almost forgivable

considering Triolus' loss of feel-
ing for her. Donaldson feels that
Shakespeare's Cressida is both
unforgivable and understan-
dable.

On Tuesday evening, Profes-
sor Donaldson spoke at Emory.
His topic was "Gold from Base
Metal: Chaucer's Alchemy with
the Fabliau." A fabliau is a
versified short story designed to
make you laugh, containing
sexual and scatological
references and a practical joke
concerning love. Through his
use of it in the Canterbury Tales,
Chaucer "conferred immortal
life upon the fabliau.''

Censorship Of Books Likely

(CPS) - "Intellectual freedom
is under attack ... by the
proliferation of attempts to ban
or restrict books . . . , and it is
probably as strenuous an attack
as the concept has endured
since the McCarthy era," warns
Judith Krug, director of the
American Library Association's
Office for Intellectual Freedom.

Krug says there have been at
least 148 different attempts to
censor books in school and
public libraries between
November, 1980 and March,
1 981 . She adds, "We only know
of 20 percent of it."

While the censors seem to
concentrate on primary and
secondary school libraries

they've done I ittle on the college
level so far, observers say.

Hank Reichman, Krug's as-
sistant, says his office has not
documented more than a few
cases of college censorship, but
in light of the growth of the
movement, he says there's a
good chance there will be book
bannings at colleges in the next
few years.

"Because libraries at colleges
are usually so large, there is a
large flow of books into them
that are hard to keep track of and
can almost always be justified
for research purposes,"
Reichman explains. "Research
libraries in theory are not too
limited because they need all

As part of the year long
Renaissance Festival being
celebrated on campus, Dis-
tinguished Professor E. Talbot
Donaldson spoke here on April
27. The topic of his lecture was
the difference in treatment by
Chaucer and Shakespeare of the
character Cressida (Criseyde).

Chaucer's criseyde is a
"better, more moral unfaithful
woman than Shakespeare's
Cressida." She is a celebrated
example of human in-
consistency. Chaucer evokes
sympathy for his heroine,
therefore shocking the audience
with her infidelity. "He created a

America and the United States.
In her opinion, the greatest
problem that poetry today faces
is that "No one believes in poetry
anymore." Nevertheless, she
read and discussed several
poems which she considered
outstanding. She finds in poetry
a modern move from individual
poetry to a collective manifes-
tation.

vocation Mrs. Caws delivered a

What are those two brilliant
objects that have been close
together for the last few months
high in the sky? The two objects
are unmistakable, rising in the
east right before sunset thus be-
ing visible towards the south un-
til about 4:45 a.m. The brighter
of the two is the planet Jupiter,
named after the king of the
Olympian gods, and the other is
the planet Saturn, named after
Jupiter's mythological father.
They are the two gaseous
"Giants" of the solarsystem. For
9 1 /2 months they remain not
more 3 apart in the sky,
although they are
actually about 649.4 million-
kilometers apart. Over a period
of 7 months trie planets are in
conjunction with each other 3
times thus having a triple con-
junction. A conjunction occurs
when 2 planets or a planet and
the Sun are virtually lined up
with the Earth. This means that

advised the new members of Phi

carefully and to be honest to
themselves in their choices.

"Your interior measure must be

measure that other people can
apply," she said. "You must be

Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m.

the 2 objects have the same
celestial longitude, or in other
words, they move through the
sky parallel to each other at the
time of conjunction. The first of
the three conjunctions occured
on December 31, 1980; the
second occured on March 4,
1 981 ; and the third will occur on
July 23, 1981. Since this con-
junction involves the slowest -
moving naked - eye planets, it is
also called a "great con-
junction." Single conjunctions
of these two planets are fairly
common, usually taking place
about once every 20 years.
However, the next "single" will
take place too close to the sun to
be seen, so that the next visible
conjunction will not be until
December 21, 2020. And the
next triple conjunction will not
occur until 2238 - 2239 A.D.,
258 years from now. So whether
your interest is astronomical or
aesthetic, don't let this beautiful
sight pass you by!

speakers and lectures, and
typically because they are "dis-

Of Horses, Roses, and Juleps
... A First Hand Account

r

by Sue Feese

The Kentucky Derby
heralded as "the greatest two
minutes in sports" - is much
more than just a horse race. It is ,
to say the least, a phenomenon
common only to Kentucky on the
first Saturday in May. In their
own rights, the Preakness and
the Belmont - the other two legs
of the Triple Crown - are pres-
tigious and popular displays of
three year old thoroughbred
talent. Yet just as the blanket of
Black-eyed Susans pales in
comparison to the red roses (200
of them) which the Derby
Winner receives, the other two
races simply cannot - and in all
likelihood never will - compare
to the Kentucky Derby.

Certainly the Kentucky Derby
is horses, 23 of them this year if
anybody was counting. In
surveying the field for the 107
Run for the Roses, the pre-race
conscensus was that it was an
unusually mediocre crop of
three year olds. Of course you
must realize that even the most
mediocre of horses in this field
has a retail value of at least $50,-
000 and that these are the 23
best three yea r old horses in the
world. Still, by Derby standards,
it was a poor field. A survey of

the tote board afterthe race con-
firms the pre-race speculation.
The winner - Pleasant Colony, a
mild surprise at moderate odds.
The shocker - none of the pre -
race favorites finished in the
money. Tap Shoes, Proud
Appeal and Cure The Blues all
managed to get lost in the pack.
Yet the Derby was by no means a
flop, with the second largest
crowd in Kentucky Derby history
- some 130,000 plus fans and
over $10,000,000 wagered on
the 10 race program.

While there were no
Secretariats or Seattle Slews,
there were still celebrites and
hillbillies, millionaires and
college students, mint juleps
and beer, grandstand boxes and
infield pup tents, depending, as
the saying goes, on which side of
the track you live. Anyone who is
anybody, who knows somebody,
or who wants to see big bucks in
action goes to the Clubhouse
side of the track. Here, underthe
famed twin spires of Churchill
Downs, the attire is preppy for
the gentlemen - Brooks
Brothers, untamed greens,
yellows, pinks, and Madras - and
sophisticated for the ladies -
Gucci, Halston, and of course
the everpresent hat. This side of

the track has the beautiful tulips
which unfailingly bloom on
Derby Day, the paddock, the
master tote board, the television
cameras and the heated
bathrooms with maids. Quite
classy, to say the least, and the
place to be if you are scared of
the Infield. Oh, the Infieldl If you
chose to stay in the Infield,
genu ine risk becomes more than
just another great horse. You
pay your ten dollars and after
that, anything goes. Of course, if
you have to go, good luck since
the average waiting line at the
restoom is an hour. The infield
attire is in generally good taste,
but the joke around the
Clubhouse of those who venture
over to the infield and return at a
rapid pace is "It's good to see
people with some clothes on."
The police force admits that
Derby Day is the one time when
the offenses of indecent
exposure and marijuana smok-
ing go unpunished due to their
prevalence in the Infield. This is
not to say that the men in blue
were not busy; over thirty
Dempsey Dumpsters of
alcoholic beverages were con-
fiscated from people who were
trying to smuggle in a little
"Southern Comfort," both

literally and in other forms. A
traditional derbytime
competition is that of seeing
who has the cle ve rest method of
smuggling booze into the Infield.
This year's winner has to be the
fraternity brothers who hid two
kegs of beer under a load of
steamed crabs and successfully
made it into the Infield. As far as
horses go, it was a ten to one
longshot that an infield - goer
even saw a horse. In a phrase,
the beauty of the Infield can be
captured by the sales pitch of a
Mint Julep vendor: 'You can get
one now, or you can get one
later, but either way you're
gonna get it." And most Infield -
goers do get it, in a one way or
another. Nevertheless, people
from both sides of the track will
readily admit as they leave
Churchill Downs to once again
face the world that yes, the sun
certainly does shine bright on
my Old Kentucky Home - and
thank heaven for it.

Music On
The
Move

A unique stereo cassette I
player, the Walkman, continues
to draw rave reviews from people I
looking for an alternative to big |
box sound. Inconspicuous, light-
weight, and quiet, the Walkman I
is attracting people who were|
turned off by large, noisy, por-
table cassette stereos seen on|
many campuses.

The Walkman, which is about |
the same size as a pocket diction-
ary, weighs only 13% ounces,!
according to Joseph Lagore,
president of the Sony Consumer
Products Company. The unit
plays standard- sized cassettes
with the same high fidelity sound
as large, expensive home stereo
systems. This extraordinary hi-fi
sound is delivered through a pair |
of featherweight headphones.

"The only thing the Walkman I
gives away to large stationary |
tape decks is size," said Mr.
Lagore. A Tt has comparable I
sound quality to much larger
equipment, but it's so small you|
can take it virtually anywhere.

The new cassette player pro-
vides full stereo sound separa-
tion. It will pick up the subtle I
strains of a symphony or the
loudest wail of rock music with I
minimum distortion.

Like a large hi-fi set, the Walk-
man has separate right and left
channel volume controls so the
listener can achieve optimum
stereo balance. A tone selector
dial provides for the setting of |
treble to suit individual tastes.

To satisfy the Walter Mitty in
all of us, the Walkman's built-in
Hot Line microphone lets the
listener talk or sing over the
music on the tape. The result
through the earphones puts the
listeners voice right in the middle
of the performance.

The unprecedented portability
of the Walkman allows it to hang
from the listeners shoulder,
neck, or belt. An optional second
set of headphones can plug into
the player so that two listeners
can enjoy the full stereo sound
together. The headphones weigh
only \Yi ounces and provide
sound quality previously avail-
able only in larger, heavier head-
phones.

Because Walkman provides
quality stereo pleasure to its user
only, it can be taken on a train or
bus during heavy commuter
hours, or to class, and not disturb
anyone. It can also go to the
library and insure others privacy
while the listener reviews a taped
lecture or favorite music while
reading.

Sony's traditional engineering
quality has provided this tiny
player with a counter- inertial fly-
wheel taped drive system for
smoother tape running and a
coreless motor for reliable per-
formance and longer battery life.
The suggested retail price is
,$199.95.

by Scottie Echols

On April 28-29 Sweet Briar
College held the Edwald
Scholars Symposium which
ProT. Ayse-llga Carden and Prof.
John Tumblin attended. The two
Agnes Scott professors traveled
to Virginia to hear four women
speak about their studies of
primates. Three of these women
began their careers under the
direction of Dr. Lewis Leaky who
praises females in this field. Dr.
Leaky says that women are very
good observers. Their patience
and tenacity are necessary
qualities for the dedication re-
quired in the study of apes.

Jane Goodall of the Gambe
Stream Research Center in
Tanzania, Afrida focuses her
research on chimpanzees and
baboons. In her direct manner of
presentation, she gave a paper
concerning the social
organization and tool usage of
chimps. The first to note that
chimpanzees actually employ
tools, Ms. Goodall reported that
they use sticks and stones as
weapons. These mammals also
take pieces of grass or small
sticks, insert them into holes in

ine ground, and retrieve
termites. Interestingly, they then
choose only the largest termites
to eat.

In Rwanda, a country border-
ing Uganda, Dian Fossey, Project
Coordinator of the Karisoke
Research Center studies moun-
tain gorillas. She is the first
scientist to observe them in their
natural habitat and found these
animals to be very docile and
non - aggressive. Ms. Fossey
stresses the problem that these
gorillas are an endangered
species because of poachers and
there are only about two
thousand in existence.

Birute M. F. Galdikas, Director
of Tanjung Puting Research
Center in Borneo, an island east
of India, observes orangutans.
She studies this primates'
habits, social organization, and
adaption to the environment.
Her working conditions are very
difficult because this area is a
rain forest. With much of the
land extremely wet, Ms.
Galdikas must fight leeches in
her attempt to study in the wild.

President and Research direc-

tor of the Gorilla Foundation in
San Francisco, Francine
Patterson works with Koko.
Beginning in the early 70s, she
has trained this female gorilla in
the use of American Sign
Language and verbal skills. Ms.
Patterson has a trailor for Koko
and works with her from morn-
ing to night. Koko can com-
municate emotion and is known
to lie when a situation does not
suit her. Ms. Patterson has ob-
tained a male gorilla, Michael,
and has begun his training. Ms.
Patterson reports that they use
some American Sign Language
in communicating with each
other but not as much as with
humans.

Prof. Carden remarked that br-
inging these scientists together
and hearing them report on their
individual studies was a
marvelous learning experience.
One especially interesting fact
she said she discovered was that
gorillas and chimpanzees are
genetically closer to human
beings than to orangutans, and
that blood from gorillas can be
given to humans.

Prof. Johnson Chosen for Seminar

Dr. Edward C. Johnson, Jr.,
Associate Professor, Economics,
has been chosen for two
SummerSeminars sponsored by
the National Endowment for the
Humanities.

Dr. Johnson was selected to
study at the University of
California, Berkeley, with Dr.
Richard M. Abrams, History
Department. The topic is,
"Business in the History of
American Society."

Dr. Johnson was chosen to

study with Dr. William H. Sewell,
Jr., at the Princeton University,
Institute for Advanced Study,
Princeton, New Jersey. The topic
is, "Labor Organization and the
Industrial Revolution in Europe
and America, 1780 - 1900."

The Seminar involves eight
weeks of intense study under
the guidance of a prominant
scholar in his area of expertise.
There are common topics for
group discussion and research,
and, in addition, each participant

prepares a major paper on a
topic kindred to their own keen
interests and expertise.

The Seminar involves 12
college professors, plus the
Director. Dr. Johnson will be the
only Economist. The other
professors are from the fields of
History and Sociology.

Dr. Johnson was a participant
in another Seminar at the
University of Wisconsin,
Madison, in 1978.

Campbell Hall
to be Renovated

The Board of Trustees has ap-
proved a campaign to raise at
least $3 million to aid the
renovation of the science
building/, Campbell Hall. Ac-
cording to President Marvin B.
Perry, the Board will choose the
architect this summer. The
College will have one year to
raise money for the construc-

tion. Pres. Perry saidplansareto
break ground one year from
now. He said that everyone will
have the opportunity to con-
tribute to this fund.

Plans for the future are to
raise money to modernize the
gymnasium and perhaps work
on a student center.

Defining the issue

Mav 18. 1981

by Laurie McBrayer

Several issues revolving
a round the honor system need to
be examined. The honor
offenses by ASC students this
year have been appalling. Ram-
pant stealing and several in-
cidents of cheating on exams
have been reported. Some say
take - home tests may be
eliminated next year because
professors fear students cheat.
La st year I was impressed by the
honor system. What has
happened to the ASC honor
system? The honor code is sup-
posed to be a way of life at ASC.
Everyone who attends ASC
signs a pledge indicating they
will uphold the honor system.
Four framed declarations with
signatures, hung in Buttrick,
give further testimony to
students' belief in the system.

Somewhere a link in the chain

has cracked. If students do not

begin to take the honor system

more seriously, that link will

break, and the most important

aspect of ASC will disintegrate.
* * * *

Several members of the cam-
pus community are aware that
faculty and staff members
received letters revealing that
the College has the right to
search their cars and offices.
President Marvin B. Perry
explained that no one has been
searched and that the statement
was simply an announcementto
satisfy legal requirements
(regarding discrimination) if it is
ever necessary to conduct such
a search. Dr. Perry explained
that reports were circulated that
seve ra I staff me mbe rs were sel I -
ing drugs, specifically marijuana

to students on campus. These
reports precipitated the is-
suance of the statement. The ad-
ministration had suspicions and
although no one was caught in
the act of distributing drugs,
several staff members were dis-
missed.

My question: Does the honor
code apply to faculty and staff?

Undoubtedly it should. Profes-
sors are expected to follow rules
regarding test announcements
and procedures, just as students
are. No one should open
alcoholic beverages on campus.
Drugs are not only against the
honor code, but are illegal. The
administration was warranted in
its announcement regarding
possible searches. Indeed, we do
not want honor offenses or
illegal actions taking place on

Honor System Being Threatened

by Beth Shackle ford

This editorial is being written
partly because I enjoy speaking
my mind, but mainly because I
feel that I speak not only for
myself but for all Agnes Scott
students, past, present and
future. There are many elements
of Agnes Scott which are
pleasantly unique to a small
college: the close rapport of
faculty and students, the op-
portunity to independent study
and designing one's own major,
the general feeling of individual
attention. The most precious
asset of Agnes Scott College,
however, has been its honor
system. And I say "has been"
because this honor system is be-
ing threatened.

Throughout the year many
shocking events have occurred
which endanger our honor
system. There have been
numerous reports of disappear-
ing money, jewelry, and
clothing, from mailboxes, the
dining hall, and even from
people's own rooms. And of
course, W e all know of the
Walter's scandal where it
became necessary to plant inked
money and then run a midnight
fingerprint check in search of the
thief. There have even been in-
cidents of cheating on tests and
exams. This is intolerable!

I have a rather pointed request
to any thieves who have in-
filtrated the Agnes Scott student

body: GET OUT. You are not
wanted here. Indeed, you are
despised here because you are
trying to destroy what we hold
dearest. Please pack up and
leave. You transfer to a college
where there are locked doors
and mailboxes, before you turn
ours into such a place And to
those enduring honeststudents:
hang in there. We must all fight
to keep up the trust that is the
foundation of any honor system.
This may be difficult to do, but
we must hold fast to our ideals
so that when the plague is past,
our honor will stand strong.

Make Capping Memorable

by Marjory Srvewright

The classes of 1981 and 1982
have a big date on Tuesday, May
1 9 when we will a II get together,
have a good time and participate
in another of Agnes Scott's
traditions - capping. I am really
looking forward to the night as I
am sure many of you are but, I
am concerned thatthe event has
turned into one big Junior -
Senior party at which most
people drink more than they
should.

No, lam not going to get on my
soapbox and preach to you about

the evils of alcohol because I do
not believe alcohol is evil.
However, the past two years I
have heard several stories of
girls getting too drunk before the
ceremony to stand up on their
own feet or to attend at all. Most
of these girls regret afterwards
that they have no memories of
the special event. It seems that
we Scotties have lost our respect
for the capping ceremony, but
we could easily remedy the
situation. We are all going to
have plenty of time for celebrat-

ing after the ceremony. We can
have a good time before the
ceremony without getting drunk.
So save your heavy drinking for
later.

It is not too much to ask the
juniors to make this night special
for the seniors and it is not too
much to ask the seniors to make
this night special for the juniors.
Let's make this a night to
remember - not one we can't
remember.

Article Misrepresents ASC

On Thursday, May 7, nice
coverage of our English Renais-
sance Feast appeared in the
Atlanta Constitution thanks to
Jean Thwaite, food editor for
that paper. However, because I
am extremely embarrassed by a
comment that she assigned to
me, I feel the need to assert
publicly that I would never, could
never, and did not refer to Agnes
Scott as a "girls' school" - nor
did I chuckle with delight at the

idea of serving an aphrodisiac to
the group of young innocents
that my alleged comment
suggests I feel are in residence
here. (Nor would I speak in split
infinitives, I trustl) Such are the
vagaries of journalism - a good
bit of distortion must be the price
of a little humorl

Miss Thwaite was well
intended, I know, and no doubt
she does not begin to
understand how appellations

like "girls' school" betray an un-
fortunate attitude towards the
serious commitment to educat-
ing women, which has been
Agnes Scott's role for lo these
many years. I excuse her, but I
want you to know that I am
unhappy to be misquoted in
what was otherwise a very at-
tractive write - up. (Aphrodisiacs
indeed! Talk about teking coals

Seriously Folks

by Burtette Carter

Ladies. I've been bad again.
But I insist that I was provoked. I
take the blame, yes, but I was
provoked I

You see, here is the story. I
was minding my own business,
curled up on a couch in the Win-
ship Lobby, gathering wisdom
from my Marx - Engels Reader.
At the same time, two guys were
waiting there for an ASC student
who had asked me to stick
around until she returned from
upstairs. Well, the first guy stood
looking around, shoving his
hands deep down into the
pockets of his sky - blue pants,
turning around like he was a
surveyor or something and try-
ing to figure the dimensions of
the room.

After a while, he says to me
with some authority, "I like this
place."

Well, now, I admit, I didn't like
the way he said that, but I didn't
say anything. I just offered a half
- smile and returned to my book.
(Was that not enough? Perhaps I
should have licked the dust off
hisshoes?)But, I repeat, Ladies, I
returned to my book. Now when
they come to drag me off to jail,
you'll have to remember this to
be truel

Well, the lobby door opens and

a young lady in a bathing suit
walks in from sunbathing on the
terrace. Spying him, she quickly
backs out of the door, then later
returns with a towel wrapped
around her. Blue Pants grins
gleefully at his comrade "Pudgy
Boy in Yellow" who has been
silently standing next to him.
Then, I guess Blue Pants thought
he'd be nice and give us girls a
compliment.

Without the slightest hint of
sarcasm he looked at Pudgy
Yellow (ignoring me) and said, "I
can see why they would want to
go to a girls' school. They don't
have to wear make-up or dress
up or anything like that. This is
just great!" Pudgy Yellow nods
his head emphatically in
agreement.

My head rose slowly up from
the pages of my Marx - Engles
Reader. Blue Pants had a smile
of paternal kindness on his face,
as if he was glad that the girls
had found a place to shelter
themselves from the vicious
world. Now, I really tried to
behave myself, but I just couldn't
help it. Remember, I tried.

I uncurled my legs, sat up
straight and I said to him (very
calmly), 'This is not a 'girls'
school. We do not go here sim-

ply so that we won't have to
wear make-up and dress up.
This is a four - year, liberal arts
college for women! (I swear,
that's all I said I)

Ah, the earth trembled! Blue
Pants was really upset with me.
Pudgy Yellow was upset because
Blue Pants was upset. The latter
stood shocked. He strutted
across the room ignoring me
except for the sneer that spread
across his face. I'd insulted his
masculinity! Heaven help us all!
I searched for visible injuries but
saw none. I guessed they were
internal. Ah, the worst kind!
Pudgy Yellow also had his lip
stuck out at me. My ASC friend,
finished with her work upstairs
returned. The three walked
towards the door. As he passed
me, Pudgy Yellow, in a sort of
"na na na na na" tone
whispered loudly, "A girls'
school!" I returned to Marx's
views on the Capitalist economy.

So you see, I've stepped out of
my place. But I insistthat it's the
fault of the system. Oh, why
didn't I go to a large, male -
dominated coed school where I
could have chosen to study
basketweaving and needlepoint
or major in homemaking as I
should have. There I would have

Behind Door Four

by Peggy Davis, SGA President

Well, I have some good news and some bad
news. The bad news first - Rep Council did not
reach a final decision on possible changes of
Parietal hours. The information from our door -
to - door survey revealed that students wanted
part or all of these male visitation hours
extended or added: Friday 6 p.m. to 12 a.m.;
Saturday 1 p.m. to 1 2 p.m.; and Sunday 1 p.m.
to 6 p.m.

Rep Council did notfeelour survey accurately
represented the changes desired by the ma-
jority of students. Therefore, another survey
will be given to you and again, we appreciate
your time to carefully complete it. We hope that
from this survey, an exact report of what you
want will arise. Rep will meet on Tuesday, May
26, at 6:30 to discuss its findings.

On with the bad news - Even 'ole ASC has
been touched by econom ic adversity and resu It-
ingly, Food Committee (FC), headed by T. K.
Wannamaker, is making plans to economize in
Letitia Pate. T. K. will be working with Ms.
Sanders and Mr. Barclay on regulation of
amount of food taken out, means to eliminate
food waste, and budgeting for meals.

I know that you've heard the sermon about
Honor Ending in the Dining Hall (i.e. "Is it a
woman with honor who takes five ice cream

sandwiches for a midnight snack?"), so, I'll
spare you. But, the other plans which FC has
proposed will never be feasible if we keep was-
ting and hoarding food which consumes the
food budget.

The FC is in the process of devising plans for
an extended salad bar, continental breakfast,
"cold" and "hot" serving lines, and once a week
soup and salad days.

Change is diff icult when so many factors are
involved - college budget, union compliance
with a new no-waste policy.

The last of the bad news - I've lied to you. All
this reportedly "bad news" is actually good
news (so put on your "happy faces" again)! You
see, Rep works hard to insure that everyone is
represented and so if it takes us a longer time
than expected to get such a representation,
then that's good news - we're doing our job -
good newsl Plus, we had several contributing
guests at our May 1 2 meeting - good! FC has a
vast challenge in changing food policies, etc.
But this challenge includes increasing our
awareness in the need to conserve and
economize - good! See, I'm not such a bad news
bearer after all - But, if you want to talk about
my grades ....

Prospective College students
today are relying more and more
on College guides. One popular
guide, The Insider's Guide to
the Colleges, does not include
Agnes Scott College. Th is book is
compiled and edited by the staff
of the Yale Dairy News. This
book is written "by students for
students" and its purpose is to

tell high school students "what
the colleges are really like." I
plan to edit a brief manuscript
concerning ASC for this guide
and I am seeking comments and
suggestions from the student
body. What do you wish you had
known before you entered ASC?
What is unique about the Agnes
Scott experience? What general

image does Agnes Scott project?
Please submit ideas to Box 764
as soon as possible. A well -
written article could effect ad-
missions at ASC. In contrast to
Barron's Guide to Colleges,
this guide presents schools in an
informal and more realistic
manner. Thank you,

the ASC campus. Perhaps

faculty and staff should sign a

pledge indicating their

allegiance to the honor system.

One final question: Does the
honor code stop at ASC? This
may seem absurd, but the
answer does not have to be yes.
Students who have lived within
an honor system for four years
will have high expectations
when they leave the "artificial"
environment at ASC and face
society. Assuredly, they will face

frustration when they have to
lock their doors and carry purses
through lunch lines at graduate
school, or witness co-workers
fill out a time card incorrectly.

However, if they have been
affected at all by an honor
system they will know how to
handle such situations. If only
everyone graduated from
schools with honor systems
(that work), then society might
be inundated with people with
higher values and morals.

The Week In Review

by Val Hepburn

For the first time in over 20
years, France has elected a lef-
tist head of state. On Sun., May
1 0, Socialist Francois Mitterand
won the Presidency of France,
defeating center-rightest in-
cumbant Valery Giscard d'Es-
taing. Mitterand got about 52 %
of the vote; Giscard, 48%. The
Socialist's foreign policy
position is relatively moderate.
He took a stronger stand than
Giscard in demanding
immediate and complete Soviet
withdrawal of troops from
Afghanistan. Mitterand also
favors the Camp David accord for
a Middle East settlement, which
Giscard opposed. In Soviet
relations, Mitterand feels that
Giscard has been too soft with
the Kremlin and during the cam-
paign, the Soviet media in-
dicated preference for Giscard.
Nationally, Mitterand plans to
nationalize banks and major in-
dustry, create additional
government sponsored jobs, and
increase spending to ease
France's skyrocketing unem-
ployment. Mitterand has called
for immediate elections in
France's National Assembly,
hoping to get a majority in the
parlimentary body. Currently he
falls far short of this majority,
controlling only 1 1 7 of the 491

seats in the body. In trying to
gain a voting majority, manyfeel
Mitterand will need to obtain
elective support from the Com-
munist Party in France. If he
does gain such support, it
remains to be seen what kind of
role the Communists will play in
Mitterand's administration.

The Reagan administration
has proposed a plan to save
Social Security. The plan will
penalize those who retire before
the age of 55 and reward those
who work longer. The plan uses
incentive to encourage people to
work past the age of 65, penaliz-
ing those who wish to retire
earlier. Two-thirds of the work-
ing population now opt for
retirement at 62. Early retirees,
who now get 80 percent of pos-
sible benefits, would only get 55
percent under Reagan's plan.

Frances Hughes, the second
Irish Republican Army hunger-
striker, died on Tues., May 12
after 59 days without food. His
brother, Oliver Hughes, said that
he blamed British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher for
Hughes death. Violence is
feared by spokesmen for both
Protestant and Catholic
militants. Two more IRA
members are also "fasting to the
death" in the Maze prison where
both Sands, the first hunger-

striker to die, and Hughes were
held.

After four days of debate, the
Senate is expected to pass the
Reagan budget with a substan-
tial majority. The House has
already passed the Reagan plan
which proposes cuts in every
area except defense. After the
Senate passes the budget,
decisions will need to be made
on the exact allocations of the
stipulated funds.

The body of 17 year-old
William Barrett was found Tues.,
May 12 off a dead-end road in
DeKalb County. The cause of
death was stated to be af-
fixiation, and Barrett becomes
the twenty-seventh victim in
Atlanta's missing and murdered
children cases. Hopefully, some
clues will be found in the effort
to solve the cases as the reward
fund has been increased to
$500,000, following
Muhammed Ali's gift of $400,-
000 to the city of Atlanta's
reward fund.

On Wed., May 13 during his
weekly audience in St. Peter's
Square in Vatican City, Pope
John Paul II was the target of an
Assassination attempt. The Pon-
tiff was injured in the arm and
stomach by a leftist terrorist
from Turkey.

Why Women Have Trouble With Math

Many women dread that
moment when they must add up
the dinner bill or tally the
checkbook. Well, as it turns out,
this fear of mathematics may not
be their fault. According

to recent studies at Johns Hop-
kins University, women's resis-
tance to math may result from
such inborn factors as hormonal
or brain differences. That con-

clusion was reached after a
seven-year study of gifted boys
and girls in the seventh and
eighth grade - a point when
training and incentives should
be the same in both sexes.

While boys and girls scored
equally well on verbal aptitude
tests, the boys raced ahead
when it came to math. And
though researchers concede

that some of the girls' poor
performance might be blamed

on social attitudes ("don't bother
your pretty little head with

numbers"), boys' superiority
was so striking that genetic fac-
tors cannot be ignored. New
methods for teaching girls are
needed.

A Party Hotline helps Illinois
State U. students control noisy
parties without police in-
vovlement. Irritated neighbors
around the ISU campus can call
the number, operated by the

noisy party. Hot line volunteers
then contact the party site to en-
courage revelers to be more

reached police on a recent
weekend.

Liberal Arts Grads
Get Jobs

Liberal Arts graduates from
Stanford U. got jobs at a rate
nine percent higher in 1979-80
than the previous year, bucking
a national liberal arts jobs
decline of 11%. Banking and
finance accounted for 20% of
new liberal arts jobs, says the

while other fields with high
acceptance rates were business,

marketing and sales, paralegal
and research. Student
placement in education fell 1 2%.

Loophole Found

A new Alabama law sets the
drinking age at 19, but students
at Emory U. think they've a
loophole. As written, the law
allows minors to drfnk at

home with parental consent.
Say the students: Is a dorm room
not a home?

NRC To Hold Discussion

The Nuclear Keguiatory Com-
mission staff will hold four one -
day meetings to receive sugges-
tions from the public on a safety
goal to be used in licensing and
regulating nuclear power plants.

The safety goal will express
the level of safety the NRC
expects nuclear power plants to
achieve to adequately protect
public health and safety and will
take into account the costs and
risks, and the benefits of nuclear
power. The Commission is
interested in public comments
on all aspects of a safety goal, in-
cluding what degree of safety
should be sought (how safe is
safe enough) and how that
safety goal should be expressed
so that it can be both clearly
understood and effectively ap-
plied.

Specifically, the Commission
is interested in the public's
views on: (1) To what extent
should the goaltake into account
the risks associated with other
forms of power generation? (2)
Should the risks associated with
the operation of nuclear power
plants be as low as other risks or
lower? (3) Should a safety goal
be expressed in mathematical
terms (quantitative), in some
other form (qualitative), or a
combination? (4) To what extent
should safety requirements for

new nuclear power plants differ
from existing ones?

Local arrangements for
meetings in Chicago, Boston,
and Los Angeles are being made
by state chapters of the League
of Women Voters.

The Atlanta meeting will
be held June 1 1 , at Colony

Opera Week Proves
to be Exhilerating

by Joy Johnson

The first week in May in
Atlanta is always an exciting one
for opera fans. The Metropolitan,
the "greatest opera company in
the world," hits this city each
year in the spring. This yearthey
presented eight operas during
the week of May 4-9; La
Traviata, Don Giovanni,
Manon Lescant, The Rise and
Fall of the City of Mahagonny,
Verdi's Requiem, Cavaleria
Rusticana, Pagliacci, and Sam-
son et Dalila.

La Traviata, a grand opera of
Verdi's middle period, was a
delightful start. The story is
taken from Alexandre Dumas' La
Dame aux Camelias. Catherine
Malfitano handled the role of
Violetta well but she failed to
capture the air of truly being
consumed by tuberculosis. The
tenor, Giuliana Ciannella, was
good but not outstanding.
Sherrill Milnes as Germont, the
father, stole the show. His
strong, clear baritone made him
a pleasure to hear. The spectacle
of La Traviata was moving as
any romantic work should be.

Tuesday night's production
was Mozart's masterpiece Don
Giovanni. This opera has been
called "opera buffa" and "drama
giacosa" (comic opera and tragic
comedy), and many believe it to
be the perfect, complete opera.
The scope and intrigue of the
composition is impressive. Don't
be surprised to see three
sopranos on the stage at the
same time. The cast is almost
massive. I particularly enjoyed
Carol Neblett as Donna Elvira;
Kathleen Battle as a charmong
Zerlina; Donald Gramm as a
hilarious Leporella; and the
terrific spectre of John Macurdy.
James Morris made a
magnificent and powerful Don
Giovanni and obviously enjoyed

every moment of it. The story,
the cast, and the production,
although now new to the Met,
was handled with infectuous en-
thusiasm.

Wednesday night gave us
Manon Lescaut by Puccini.
Although the show was
tastefully produced, it was the
most disappointing oftheweek.
The leads, Renato Scotto and
Elmanno Mauro, blended
vocally, but they were not
particularly suited to the parts.
Puccini's story line is pieced
together and consequently dif-
ficult to follow. However, there
were some incredibly amusing
moments.

Thursday night the Met
brought Kurt Weill's and Bertolt
Brecht's The R ise and Fall of the
City of Mahagonny to Atlanta.
This is a frightfully modern
opera, the kind that "gets under
your skin" according to Andrew
Porter, who contributed the
"Notes" to it. Mezzo-soprano
Ariel Bybee was choice as the
whore Jenny, and Richard Cas-
silly handled Jimmy Mahoney,
the hero, well. The message is
this opera was vicious, not for
the weak at heart.

Friday the Met served the
terribly formal dish of Giuseppe
Verdi's Requiem which was
written upon the death of the
Italian writer Alessandro
Manzoni. James Levine, the
principal conductor and music
director, really shonel The
quartet was not the best
imaginable but the mezzo-
soprano, Florence Quivar, sang
her heart out and the bass (Don
Giovanni) never faltered
although he seemed to have
been uncomfortable in formal
attire. The composition moved
magnificently with the mass.
The orchestra on "Day of wrath,

day of mourning, When the
world shall dissolve to ashes, As
David and the Sybil foretell" was
almost powerful enough to
reform even me.

The Saturday matinee was a
combination of two famous one-
act operas, Caveleria Rusticana
by Mascagni and Pagliacci by
Leoncavallo. Mignon Dunn and
choruses of Cavaleria were im-
pressive, but the opera is really
too short, too fast and often con-
fusing. Elmanno Mauro, who
was less perfect than in Manon
Lescaut, found his vehicle as
Canio, the jealous husband of
Pagliacci. Sherrill Milnes was
once again superb as Tonio, the
hunchback clown, and
Catherine Malfitano (Traviata)
with Lenus Carlson managed a
wonderfully passionate and con-
vincing ensemble. Pagliacci is
easy to understand, and this
production was truly moving.

Samson et Dalila by Camille
Sa int-Saens f in ished the week's
performances. Richard Cassilly,
Captain Vere of Billy Budd, and
Jimmy Mahoney of Mahagon-
ny, reached his peak as Samson.
The performance was mediocre
until the final scene, which
opened with a magnificent
ballet. All my thanks to Zachary
Solov for choreographing this
piece with so much emphasis on
the gorgeous male dancers. The
Bachanale was a most pas-
sionate and moving finish to a
ballet. Richard Cassilly shone,
and when the temple crashed
down about him, the special
effects were breath-taking. That
one scene was a perfect
culmination of the entire
preceeding week.

I always lookforwa rd to seeing
an opera, but a whole week of
outstanding productions by the
Metropolitan was exhilarating.

Reach For The Stars by Marty woowndge

Tonight the Moon will be in
full phase. When the Moon is
full, it is directly opposite the
Sun in the sky and, therefore,
will rise shortly after the Sun
sets. The Moon will rise progres-
sively later until May 26, when
in last quarter it will rise ap-
proximately at dawn. Through
modern technology we know the
Moon is a barren, dry, cratered
place, but we still envision lovers
strolling in the moonlight, and
the Moon's sheer beauty will
never be diminished by our
knowledge of it.

The ancients saw the Moon as
a beautiful goddess named
Selene. They, too believed the
Moon governed romance and
the myth of Endymion illustrates
this connotation. Endymion, a
youth of unsurpassed beauty,
was seen by Selene who loved
him instantly.

That evening while he was

sleeping, she could not resist
stealing a kiss, which he saw
and felt in his dreams. When he
awoke the next morning he en-
treated Jupiter to grant him im-
mortality, which he was granted
with the condition that he sleep
forever. He accepted this con-
dition and every niqhtsincethen

Selene has come down to caress
him with kisses. It is said that
she caused him to sleep so that
she might always find him, and

yet her pleasure is marred by his
unconsciousness. Thus, the an-
cients saw romance in the
moonlight just as we do today.

Don Giovanni-
Another View

by Tobi Martin

Mozart's Don Giovanni Tues-
day night was a delight for both
the ears and eyes. The
handsome James Morris played
the lovable and "irresistable"
Don Giovanni, Known for his
1003 amorous conquests in
Spain alonel Morris' command
of the stage was topped off by his
outstanding grasp of the vocal
role.

Two other extra special
performances came from
Donald Gramm as Giovanni's
servant Leporello, and Kathleen
Battle as the charming bride
Zerlina.

The abundant humor for
Mozart's opera was wonderfully
displayed by the Met troop. Each
scene, with its finely detailed
sets and costumes, looked like a
period piece come to life.

RTC Publishes Atlanta Child Murder Article

RTC Jane Zanca recently had
an article published in The
Delaware County Daily Times,

a newspaper in Philadelphia.
Her article was titled "Atlanta:
Life in a City Under Siege" and
deals with life in Atlanta during
the missing and murdered
children crisis.

Jane wrote the article for
several reasons. Having lived in
Pennsylvania, Jane felt that her
friends there were "getting a
limited report" and "didn't really
know what was going on" dur-
ing the situation. Also, Jane felt

Atlanta: Life In A City Under Siege

by Jane Z. Battey
Special to the Daily Times

ATLANTA - Friday night the
phone rings. It is a friend calling
long distance from Media. "Are
you ... all right?" she asks, her
voice rising to convey her
meaning.

Yes, I tell her, we are "all
right," but not unscathed by the
events which have occurred in
our new hometown, Atlanta.
Twenty-five persons, all black
and mostly children between the
ages of nine and 16, have been
abducted and murdered here
since mid-1 979.

I live within easy walking dis-
tance of the site from which one
of the victims disappeared a few
months ago. I am less than
stone's throw from the main
corridor which has become a
trail of death as the murderer
has chosen his victims along this
road.

One might think I could sleep
easy at night since I am white
and the victims have all been
black. This is not the case. For
one thing, the murders have
crossed the imaginary lines of
color and touched all of the
people of Atlanta with fear,
concern and grief.

For another, lam in the unique
position of raising two very
vulnerable children; an adopted
interracial child, age 10, and my
own 12 year old child who is
mentally retarded. And, like too
many others in this city and
elsewhere, I bear the burden of
my children's safety alone, for I
am a divorced single parent.

Atlanta is a beautiful, vibrant
city. Its hilly terrain is
reminiscent of the Pocono
foothills, which may be why so
many Philadelphians who head
south drop their bundles here
and set up camp permanently.
Like Philadelphia, Atlanta is
within a shortdriving distance of
mountains and seashore.

Atlanta is considerably
younger than Philadelphia. Its
youthfulness as a city is visible
in the dazzling and still relatively
compact downtown area. The
gracious older homes which
freckle Philadelphia and its
surrounding counties are in very
short supply in Atlanta proper;
this is a city of brick ranchers and
replicas of Tara. I he city
planners got a second chance
here after Sherman destroyed
the town, and it is only in the
past couple of decades that

Atlanta became the bustling
metropolis it is today.

The end result is thai, Tor the
most part, the congestion, crime
and crumbling decay so common
in older cities have been
minimized here. Even the transit
system here is young; the
subway - train system is only
about a year old with much of the
system still under construction.

I first came to Atlanta on a visit
six years ago and was
thoroughly swept up in the
beauty and convenience of this
town. I like its moderate climate,
its lower cost of living, and its
more leisurely approach to life.

It seemed to have all thebless-
ings of city life; museums,
shopping, entertainment, many
colleges and universities, and
easy access to all of these, and
lacked the problems which
irritated me more each month in
the Northeast.

Iwas thus set up to eventually
hack off 10 years of Delaware
County friendships, mortgages,
and other assorted roots to come
here when the moment was
ripe.

The ripening began in those
awful, unforgettable winters of
the late 70s, when fuel costs
soured and the temperatures
dropped below zero for weeks on
end.

Transit strikes, interrupted
school schedules, high taxes
and cabin fever were working on
me, but the moment of truth
came one night on the Market
Street subway. I was taking my
two children downtown in the
early evening to meet their
father for dinner at our favorite
restaurant.

We shared the dirty, rickety el
car with a few down - and - out
elderly women, and in the gray
flickering light we passed over
the ugliness of Market Street.

At one of the graffiti -
splattered stops, a gang of
toughs got on, and after chec-
king out the situation briefly,
began tearing apart the already
delapidated car and threatening
the passengers.

They spewed a trail of
obscenities over the rest of us as
they ran up and down the aisles,
daring us to challenge them.

All we could do was sit it out
and hope to get off a the next
stop without being assaulted

My nerves were strung like a
tennis racket as I clutched the
children's hands, steppedoff the

train, and trudaed through a
puddle of urine on the way to the
steps that led to the street.

Later that evening, as we
departed the meal I had not
much appetite for, we witnessed
a vicious attack on a young
woman across the street from
us.

On the way home I tallied in
my head the costs of the
evening. The meal had been
expensive. The distance we had
travelled to get to the restaurant
yawned before me in the
darkness like an abyss. The
subway incident had cost me a
chunk of my humanity, and the
attack outside the restaurant
had cost my children their in-
nocent belief in the basic
goodness of people.

Like a shrinking paycheck
after too many deductions, I felt
my peace of mind was diminish-
ing in the urban jungle which
engulfed the entire metropolitan
area. The cost of survival there
would be cynicism and learning
to look the other way when a
neighbor was being shot down.
The price was too high. Atlanta -
warm, clean, accessible, and
friendly - beckoned, and in 1977
we packed up and headed South.

I have been aware of the child
murders since early November
1979, when the body of nine -
year - old Ysef Bell was found
dumped in a maintenance shaft
in an abandoned school
building.

I remember thinking how
awful, how frightful it was that a
child could leave his hometorun
an errand for a neighbor and
never return. The case was
puzzling even then because
there seemed to be no motive in
the murder.

As children headed for school
last September, the number of
missing and murdered had risen
to 1 1 . It was, by then, clear that
the object of the killings was
young black males. The phrase
"white racial plot" was
unspoken, but it hung in the air
like a powerful bad. odor

The increased activity of tru*
Ku Klux Klan nationwide
seemed to give credence to the
fears. Blacks began to feel
certain that the killer could be
none other than a whiteorgroup
of whites. Whites began to pray
that the killer was black, for tear
of the calamity a racially
motivated series of murders
could work on the community.

Atlanta's image has been that

of a city "too busy to hate." As a
native southerner, I often
wondered how fragile the foun-
dation of that image was. I knew
all too well the depths of the
roots of racism for which the
South has been renowned
(though my 13 years in the
Northeast had also been a
revelation in terms of how blin-
dly and arrogantly the pots had
been calling the kettle black).

Nevertheless, Atlanta has
been and is one of the most
progressive cities of the South in
every aspect, including race
relations.

Black political power here is
very much a reality in a city that
is 69 percent black, but is still
heavily dependent on working
with the white business and
cultural community and white
surburbs which surround it.

After 1 1 deaths with no arrest
or even suspects, the statement
began to rumble around the city
that "if the victims were white
the crime would have been
solved long ago."

When one knows that the
mayor, the head of city council,
the top admin istrators of the city,
the chief of police, and the com-
missioner of public safety are all
black, one also knows that this
statement is ludicrous, yet it was
one more grate on the nerves of
the city, it hung over the frus-
trated investigators like the
finger of God.

Then, in early October, the
Bowen Homes Day Care Center,
which housed over 80 black
preschoolers, was blown to
pieces by an explosion, and the
repercussions ran through the
city like a shock wave. It seemed
that the worse fears had been
confirmed, and the tension in
the community boiled to the
surface. The confusion in the
aftermath of the explosion only
stroked the fires.

The hospital and rescue ef-
forts were chaotic, and frantic
parents waited, waited and
waited to learn if their child had
been injured.

The inadvertent but cruel
result of the pandemonium was
that some parents did not learn
until late that night that their
child had been dead from the
moment of the explosion.

The grief one feels at seeing a
tiny sneaker sticking out of a
blanket that covers a lifeless
body knows no color. The pain
the city felt was complex, for it
was tangled in frustration

The black community had
been pushed to the edge, and a
lot of ladies cancelled their
downtown shopping trips and
luncheons that week. I wept
with friends as we watched the
anger that spewed out in black
community meetings.

A lot of white people cared
very much, very personally
about what was happening, but
we were afraid that rage was go-
ing to shut down the lines of
communication.

Our grief and concern would
not be heard: we were the
enemy. We began to see the full
form of the nightmare we had
been stifling for months. We
were the unwilling enemy in a
color war as old as time.

Innocent children were the
victims and all our privately shed
tears in front of the television
and footage of funerals was not
going to redeem us or those
children. Reason was going to
succomb to wrath if something
was not done.

When the investigation of the
Bowen Homes tragedy provea
that the explosion was the result
of a mechan ica I e rror, the sigh of
relief could be heard throughout
the city.

The incident had brought on
the realization that none of us
could afford to just shake our
heads and cluck at what was
happening here. We would have
to make our concern known and
channel it into something
productive.

Everywhere black armbands
appeared, I handed armbands
out to friends.

In the week following
Thanksgiving, 1980, Atlanta
looked much the same as any
other city at that tentative time of
year. Christmas was on
everyone's mind, but the killings
cast a pall over the usual cheer.

Conversation inevitably
turned to "those poor families"
whose children would never
again gather around the
Christmas tree. Strangers hud-
dled together in the train
stations to stare sadly at posters
of the missing children. It
seemed impossibly cruel that,
even in December, the month
that belongs to children, there
would be another killing, but on
Dec. 7, the body of Patrick
Rogers, age 16, was found.

Then there was a lull, almost
as if the killer had himself (or
cont. top p. 7

herself, or selves) been too busy
with holiday festivities to be out
performing his ugly deeds. By
then a pattern had unfolded,
spacing the deaths ap-
proximately 28 days apart.

The cyclical nature of this;
pattern was something to
ponder. Could the killer be j
woman whose monthly cycle
affected her to the point of
psychosis? This would certainly
help us to understand how the
killer managed to get children
into an isolated situation, for
children would probably be less
wary of a woman.

I began counting the days, and
for a week on either side of the
28th day, lectured mv children,
warned them, watched them,
and waited.

The pattern of disappearances
broke over the holidays. I began
to pray that the killer had died in
a holiday accident, or had been
safely stuck away in ja il on some
other charges. Catching the
killer became less important
than ending the barrage of
murders.

Then, on Jan. 9, two more
bodies were found, and as if to
make up for the temporary peace
and hope we had experienced,
the circumstances of these
deaths were exceptionally
horrible. The bodies of Chris-
topher Richardson, age 11, and
Earl Terrell, age 10, had lain in
the piney woods of Southwest
Atlanta, and had been found and
gnawed on by dogs or other wild
animals. I snapped off the
television report of this so that
my children would not have to
hear it.

I began to wonder how much I
should tell my children of what
was happening around us.
While I wanted them to be alert
and cautious, i did not want to
dwell on the murders tothe point
of terrifying them. How do you
explain to your child that the
world is dangerous, not in some
distant, abstract sense, but in
terms of something happening
on their own doorstep?
The parents in the black com-
munity have onlv one answer to

this question, they have had to
keep their children indoors at all
times, they have to lecture,
threaten, and cajole to keep their
restless sons from sneaking *off
alone to shoot a few baskets or
buy a bag of potato chips. The
city has reinforced the effort ot
provide protection by es-
tablishing a curfew, and
volunteer patrols of older teens
and parents check on the places
frequented by children.

Since November I had been
talking to my children in vague
terms about a crazy person in
Atlanta picking up and killing
children. I repeated the
thousand - told litany of parents,
the same good advice I'd always
given them, on not going with
strangers or accepting gifts from
them.

In January, the edge of my
voice, the constant admonitions
from teachers, the tense new
reports, and the headlines
splashed in the papers warned
them that something
extraordinary was going on. I
kept my warnings as sedate yet
stern as possible, but in
February, near my own son's
birthday, two things happened
that ended any semblance of
calm.

The first was a trip to a local
shopping mall. The two children
were in tow along with three
adults. We were making a party
of this jaunt, and had bribed my
mentally retarded son, who
tended to wander, with a
promise of a trip to the game
room for good behavior.

I needed to look for only one
item, but as I entered the
department where I hoped to
find it, he stopped to look at
something on the aisle. We
became separated and in just 60
seconds he was nowhere to be
found.

By the time he had been
found, 2 1 /2 grueling hours later, I
was near hysteria. It mattered
not at all that he was white and
the children who were being
killed and kidnapped had all
been black. Since the nature and
motive of the killings is
unknown, who is to say that only
black children are endangered?

I was so frightened by the
episode that I slumped into an

emotional vacuum and it was
days before I recuperated suf-
ficiently to feel I could talk
rationally with my son about
what had happened.

The second incident occurred
on a simple, routine trip to pick
up fried chicken for dinner. I
drove the few blocks from my
home to the fast food chain thin-
king of nothing more conse-
quential than our supper.

At the store I placed the order,
then sat in a booth while it was
being prepared. My bored glance
paused on a small poster on the
wall. On it was a picture of Terry
Pue, age 15, who had
disappeared "from this site or its
immediate vicinity."

I looked around me at the
orange plastic tables, the slightly
gritty floor.

Terry Pue had been in this
place, within walking distance of
where my children lived and
played, on what may have been
the last day of his life. I imagined
him having a piece of chicken,
walking out to the bus stop, then
disappearing, not to be seen
again until Feb. 23, 1981, when
his body was found dumped on
an isolated road in Southwest
Atlanta.

I could no longer be gentle
The time had come to convey
fear to my children, for fear
night be their only protection.

New rules were laid down
firmly. "No playing alone. No
playing anywhere near the road.
No talking to any strangers
under any circumstances. Come
into the house immediately and
tell me if you are approached in
any way by a stranger. Come into
the house and report to me at
agreed - upon times so I will
know exactly where you are. No
more trips to the corner store,
not even in groups."

The burden of being a single
parent, especially when this is
not what one would choose if
any other choice had been
available, is awesome under the
best of circumstances.

Under siege, as we are in
Atlanta, it has become nearly
unbearable.

My already highly structured
and limited routine had to be
altered. I no longer make any but
the most necessary stops on the

way home. The thought of the
children at home alone throws
me into a panic.

I have stopped taking my men-
tally retarded son on shopping
trips. I pay a sitter to keep him
safely at home. I have fears for
my own personal safety.

The changes I have had to
make in my routine rank as in-
conveniences, but the costto my
children has been in-
comprehensible. They have
persistent nightmares of
strangers who stab them to
death or force their way into our
home and beat them to death.

They dream of wild chases by
masked monsters. They leave
every light in the house on at all
times and insist onleaving them
that way so that they do not have
to walk into a dark place. They
come inside if their friends have
to go in and huddle before the
television set.

For a while they went through
a period of constant squabbling
and alienation from their
playmates, and spent the
afternoon indoors, alone,
constantly under my feet and
following me from room to room.

They began to litter my room
with their clothes, books and
toys, as if tryingto move into my
space and stay close to me via
their belongings if not with their
actual presence.

Once they considered a
babysitter as an insult to their
ability to take care of
themselves; now they seem
relieved to knowthat a sitterwill
be with them.

Spring has arrived here in
Atlanta. As I sit by the open win-
dow, the smell of things bloom-
ing wafts in to me, and on the
breeze floats the voices of
children at play.

Since February, Lubie Jeter,
Patrick Baltzar, Curtis Walker,
Timothy Hill, Darron Galss and
Jo Jo Bell have been found dead.
I know the names of these
children as if they were my own
children's classmates.

Lubie Jeter touched me,
perhaps because 20 was
inexplicably an i n -
comprehensible number of
deathswhen 1 9 simply left me in
shock.

Perhaps it was the injustice of

it all; the child was trying to
make a few honest dolalrs work-
ing in a shopping center parking
lot when he was abducted.

Whatever the reason, the
night his bodv was found I paced
the floor the entire night, sapped
too dry for tears and unable to
erase his mother's face from my
mind.

We cannot keep our children
under lock and key. There is talk
of summer programs, which are
needed anyway, but it seems
this murderer had been able to
outsmart us all too many times
for me to find much solace in the
promise of supervised
recreation.

There have been occasional
darts tossed atthe Atlanta police
for their handling of the cases.

I wonder, too, about their
competence, but then I
remember that they called in the
top investigators of the entire
country, and none of them could
help either.

I see the grim, tight lines of the
faces of policemen as they
appear on the television screen,
setting up another square
marked off by yellow tape that
reads: "Crime Scene, Do Not
Cross ."

In the last month or so Atlanta
has become something of a
circus. As news of our problems
has filtered out, the town has
become the setting of a bizarre,
loosely - knit, long - running
convention of crazies, rabble
rousers, racists from both sides
of the fence, Bible thumpers,
politicians, foreign press
members, fund - raisers, op-
portunists, and the practical,
productive and simply sincere
who are moved to come here to
do what they can to help.

I do love this city, and the
events here have, in a perverse
way, confirmed for me that my
decision to come here was based
on valid assumptions. There are
few places in the world, much
less in the South of the United
States, which could live through
this kind of siege and avoid a
racial conflagration.

County Daily Times with

Fears Plague College Students

Some students love college,
some hate it, and some drift
through it in apathy. Then there
are those who are afraid of it.

'Every time I sit down in a
desk and look at all the people
around me, I get sweaty palms
and feel like running away,"
says Michael Streep of
Cleveland State University. "It's
all I can do to sit there and pay
attention to the professor
instead of my anxiety."

Streep is not unique. One out
of every one hundred students
suffer sometimes - debilitating
fears about college life, says
Michael L. Freeman, director of
Cleveland's Terrap, or
organization that treats severe
anxiety problems.

"It couldbe due to workload or
peer pressure that causes
students to withdraw from
normal life," adds Jean
Kumemrlin, coordinator of the
Cleveland office. "Sometimes
it's a death in the family. But we
don't press the point of why it
happened."

Whatever the reasons
students develop phobias - inap-
propriate fear reactions
triggered by harmless stimuli -
they seem to be particularly
prone to them. Virginia Artru of
Terrap's Menlo Park, Ca. office
says people as young as 1 4 and
as old as 80 come in for therapy,
but that the average age is 23.
Manv of the college students,

she says, are afraid of making
"fools of themselves in a clas-
sroom situation."

Some of thephobiasthatcom-
monly interfere with student life
are acholophobia (fear of
crowds), anthrophobia (fear of
people), and xenophobia (fear of
strangers).

The physiological symptoms
of the phobias range from a feel-
ing of warmth to sweaty palms to
butterflies, from tremors to
heavy heartbeats. Other com-
mon symptoms include dry
mouth, weak legs, hyperven-
tilation, inner feelings of doom,
and urges to run, scream, and
flee to an area of security.

"A trapped situation causes

panic," Artru summarizes.

Freeman says the reaction can
be so severe that a student can
develop a phobiaphobia, mean-
ing a fear of the fear reaction.

When that happens, the cycle
of fear on ly deepens. The reason
for the fear reaction, Freeman
explains, becomes "less ap-
parent, and the attacks then
seem to come out of nowhere. It
is frightening to have something
happening to your mind and
body over which you have no
control."

"We even had one client who
was chair - bound," Kumemrlin
recalls. "This man couldn't leave
the chair in his dorm room
without feeling extremely

anxious."

Artru remembers that the
most extreme case she's en-
countered was when a female
student wouldn't open her
bedroom door. Her roommates
called Terrap, which went to the
room and coaxed her out to
intensive (nine hours a day)
thereapy.

Therapy at the Cleveland of-
fice (Terrap also has offices in
Huntington, N.Y.) costs $1200
for both the 24-week course and
the : ntensive, two - week course.

'It would be ideal if they could
stay in school during this time,"
says Artru, "but many feel they
have to drop out. Many fear
they'll have a panic attack."

Sporting
Success

For the coach of the ASC
tennis team, being a winner
is nothing new.

Jo Ann Messick, physical
education instructor and
coach of the tennis team has
a winning record of her own
to which she can add her
success with the 19^0-81
tennis team.

Originally from North
Augusta, S.C., Ms. Messick
did her undergraduate work
at the University of North
Carolina, Greensboro, and
received her masters degree
from Indiana University.

While attending both
institutions, she was active in
all types of sports, namely
basketball, lacrosse, tennis,
and field hockey.

She was selected to both
regional and national All-Star
teams and is still active in
hockey. She belongs to an
organization which allows
players to compete on a
regional and national level
after completing college.

Before coming to ASC, Ms.
Messick taught in two other
schools and said that her
interest in tennis increased
after she left college.

"Most people play leisure
sports after college such as
tennis or golf," she said. "We
teach these and others here
at Agnes Scott because they
can be played for the rest of
your life and you don 't have to
have twelve people to make a
team."

Ms. Messick says that she
enjoys coaching and the
challenge of putting a
successful team together.

'The team has worked hard
and come a long way," she
said 'The players know what
it takes in the way of practice
and priorities to make a win-
ning team and they have done
it."

She said that coaching ten-
nis is particularly enjoyable
because she can sit back and
watch the game as well.

"Most of the coaching is
done at practice," she
commented. "During the
matches I can enjoy the game
as a spectator and lend moral
support because the girls are
on their own once they get on
the court."

She maintains that form is
the determining factor in the
quality of a tennis player.

"I'm a stickler for form
because you have to hit the
ball with grindstone accuracy
every time," she said. "I
stress form and consistency.
If the players have the sound
fundamentals of the game,
they'll play a steady, con-
fident baseline game."

"We've concentrated on
our singles game this year
and I plan to work on im-
proving the doubles next
year," she said. "We have a
relatively young team which
will give us a good start next

1981 Graduation Plans Announced

Reverend C. Ellis Nelson, President of Louisville Theological
Seminary, will be the baccalaureate speaker this year.

by Marcia Whetsel

The graduation services for
the Class of 1 981 will be held in
Gaines Auditorium on Sun.,
June 7. The baccalaureate
service will be held at 11 a.m.
The guest speaker is Ellis
Nelson, the President of Louis-
ville Seminary, whose wife is an
Agnes Scott alumna. The
graduation will be held at 6:30
p.m. Pres. Marvin Perry will
deliver the commencement ad-
dress. President Perry reported
that the organ in Gaines is
expected to be back in operation
for the ceremonies.

Rev. C. Ellis Nelson isa profes-
sor of Christian education in ad-
dition to being the President of
Louisville Seminary. He has
been a dean at the Union
Theological Seminary in New
York, and a minister in the
University Presbyterian Church

in his hometown, Austin, Texas.
He has written books about
moral development and Chris-
tian education including a book
entitled Don't Let Your
Conscience be Your Guide.
Louisville Theological Seminary
was founded in 1853 and is the
only seminary to be supported
and operated jointly by the
United Presbyterian Church and
the Presbyterian Church, U.S.

The Class of 1981 has a
membership of 122, including
17 Return to College students.
This is the largest group of RTCs
to graduate since the program
was instituted.

Dean Ga ry related the story of
how the time for the graduation
ceremony was chosen, since
there was some controversy
over whether to have the service
at 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. She saiH

that Dr. McNair paced around
Presser to determine the time
when the sun would be low
enough in the evening to avoid
excessive sunlight coming in on
the stage. Six-thirty was chosen
as the time for the service
because at that time most
parents, faculty members and
graduates will be seated in the
shade.

Graduation rehearsal will be
tonight from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
in Gaines. A pizza supper, spon-
sored by the Alumnae As-
sociation will be held in the
alumnae garden, weather
permitting. The Senior Class gift
was a contribution to the Million
Dollar Fund in the form of $25
pledges by each individual. A
contribution of approximately
$360 as a result of the china
survey was also given to this
fund.

Professor Plans Projects

Looking Back

by Catherine Fleming

For his 1981-82 Sabbatical
year, Prof. Tom Hogan will be
working on "a different kind of
psychology book." Entitled
Psychology: The Represen-
tation of Human Existence,
Prof. Hogan says he has high
expectations for his project.
"Most psychology textbooks
tend to be almost "factual dic-
tionaries. Mine will differ in a
sense that it will be more clearly
written, and therefore, more
understandable and
memorable." This com-
prehensive approach to
psychology demands more of the
individual asking questions
which propel intellectual in-
quiry. It is divided into more
easily learned units, and deals
with representational concepts,
which cover the history of
psychological thought from its
early development through
present conclusions.

His second project is directed
towards setting up economic
equations and locating
variables. "I am working on a
relatively short essay in which

equations are represented
which interrelate such variables
as national money supply,
interest rates, prices, and the
gross national product." His goal
is to find the sou rces of price in-
crease and inflation, and then to
develop solutions. Exploring the
direction of the economy and
collecting statistics led Prof.
Hogan to view many of his ideas
in a different light. "Although
the equations are related in
some ways to previous theories
in economics, I have never seen
the relationships expressed in
the present way. I have derived
several exciting and unan-
ticipated consequences from the
theory." Professor Hoqan des-
cribed a prog ressive ladder of ac-
complishment by which his work
is completed: Preparation,
insight, and the level on which
he stands now - verification. He
adds: "During the summer, I
would like to obtain some
criticism of the essay from a
professional economist."

The professor's interest in this
specific area began about two
years ago, the actual work
beginning early this spring.

A third interest that Professor
Hogan intends to pursue is a
privately owned Investment
Management Service. Here, the
management of investment
portfolios, investment analysis,
and business cycle forecasting
occupies his time. The results
can be eitherrewarding ordisas-
trousforthe investor: "lexamine
the Treasury Bill of Future's
Markets. You can put up two
thousand dollars and control up
to a million do lairs in assets." He
added, "You can also be totally
wiped out."

Upon Professor Hogan's
return from his sabbatical year, a
new five - hour course will be
offered in the spring of 1 982-83.
Entitled The Psychology of
Economic Behavior, the course
is a study of the relationship
between psychology and
economics, including: 1) the
psychology of motivation in
economic achievements, 2)
concepts of human nature in
economic philosophies, and 3)
panic behavior during economic
crises. Freshmen with permis-
sion may enroll.

Internship Described

Nuclear Regulatory Meeting Postponed

by Elisabeth Smith

Mildred Pinnell is presently
doing an internship at the
Atlanta Botanical Gardens in
Piedmont Park. She said she
took the internship because she
is considering a career in
horticulture and she wanted a
chance to see if she likes it. She
works three days a week and
also does some outside reading
and research. She works with a
horticulturist doing a variety of
jobs, including identifying and
labeling plants, and planting,
and growing seedlings and
transplants from China and
Japan. She also helps with
recording plants, where they

came from, and the number of
each. Mildred also helps in
problem solving. People who
have a problem or question
abouttheir plants can call in and
ask about them. Mildred helps
answer their questions and
solve their problems.

She also is studying the his-
tory and development of
botanical gardens and plant
physiology. Mildred said she is
very excited about this
internship because she gets a
chance to work with the public
and to apply her knowledge in a
practical way.

The Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission has postponed a series
of four public meetings which
had been scheduled to receive
suggestions from the public on a
safety goal to be used in licen-
sing and regulating nuclear
power plants.

I he meetings were postponed
because of a provision ac-
companying the House of
Representatives Committee on
Appropriations' Supplemental
Appropriations and Rescission
Bill for 1981. The provision

reads: "Funds in the FY 1 981 ap-
propriation bill for public
hearings on the 'safety goal' pro-
ject are rescinded."

Congress has not yet taken
final action on the bill, which in-
cludes NRC funding.

Gray Matters :

Defining the issue

by Laurie McBrayer

If an Agnes Scott student
wished to design a women's
studies major, she would not be
able to find enough courses to
fulfill the normal 45 hour re-
quirement for a major. In fact,
the hours involving courses that
directly concern women total to
only 1 5 hours. These courses in-
clude: History 312 "Women in
Modern European History" (5
hours) a new course; Sociology
190, "Re-entry Women," (1);
Sociology 190 'The Women's
Movement in the United States"
(1 ); Classics 1 70 "Women in An-
tiquity" (3); and Sociology 336,
"Sociology of Sex Roles" (5).

Professors Ayse-llgaz Carden,
Miriam Drucker, Patricia Pinka
Caroline Dillman and Dean Gray
recently attended a conference
"Scholars and Women" held at
the University of Maryland as a
part of a continuing education
program. The conference was
made possible by grants from
the Ford and Carnegie Foun-
dations. Topics discussed at the
conference included women's
studies and how to integrate in-
formation about women into
regular courses, sex role issues
in the classroom, and women

and work.
A committee has formed at

Agnes Scott College including

Kuznesof and Terry McGehee in
addition to those who attended
the seminar. Mrs. Carden said
that the consciousness-raising
efforts at Agnes Scott would
focus on starting courses
relevant to women. She
explained that a course entitled
"Psychology of Women" would
be offered in the fall of 1982.
She said that the committee
would also seek ways to
integrate information about
women into standard
curriculum. The committee is in
the process of planning two
symposia for next year. One
would encourage scholarship
about women and provide in-
formation about women
scholars; it would focus on
students. The second symposia
would be geared toward faculty.
Wheaton College has received a
special grant to integrate in-
formation about women into its
regular curriculum. According to
Mrs. Carden, members of
Wheaton College faculty would
be invited to speak. The com-
mittee has considered inviting
women who have graduated
from Women's colleges and
have the following occupations;
astronaut, editor, correspondent
and historian.

the speakers, but the committee
wil I have to pay a i r fare and other
costs. Mrs. Carden said that the
Agnes Scott SGA, Mortar Board
and Working for Awareness
have reacted positively to this
proposed project. She said that if
students demand to be educated
about women then they must
show leadership and concern.
She said that women have been
achieving for a long time, but
they have not been recognized.
She asked, "What's the use if
women achieve but no one
knows about it?"

The symposia would allow
students to see female role
models in fields in which they
are perhaps interested. All
student organizations should
consider ways thatthey can sup-
port this project. In the future,
Bible classes and English
literature classes may begin to
discuss women rather than over
looking the many key women
biblical figures, and female
writers and poets.

The entire student body owes
a great deal of thanks to the
1980-81 yearbook staff. These
students contributed a great
amount of time and effort to
produce a very special reminis-
cing device! Unlike the Agnes
Scott Profile editors, the
yearbook staff is unable to see
the results of all their combined
efforts until the book is
published. Indeed, many
deadlines pass and manyaspinn
bottles empty before they see
the finished product. The staff
like ASC students anxiously an-
ticipate the distribution of the
Silhouette. Be sure to give
credit to the following members
of this year's staff: Martha Shep-
pard, editor; Mildred Pinnell, as-
sociate editor; Susan Nicol,

Dear Editor:

I'm penning a short note to
express my disdain. I was under
the impression that proofread-
ing was the sort of job that
corrected spelling and grammar,
not content, tone, style or any of
those elements that are
personal to the writer. I hardly
recognized much of my own
article on the Opera (May 18,
1981). I found that in many
places my original meaning was
hidden, lost, or simply flushedl I
was going to send a copy of this
article to my mother, but I feel
too ashamed now since much of
it has taken a form not my own.

Please print this sothat others
will not be so surprised as I.

P.S. I hate the word
"exhilarating."

Yours forever butchered,
Joy Johnson

Editor's Note:

I wish to express my
apologies to Ms. Johnson. In
editing her review of the Opera,
I did not intend to offend the
writer, but was merely exercis-
ing an editor's preogative of
revising and editing to insure
clear, precise reporting. I
would like to remind Profile
readers (and reporters) of the
definition of an editor ac-
cording to Webster's Dic-
tionary as "one who edits, or
revises as for publication" and
who also "directs the editorial
policies of a newspaper."

Again, it was not my inten-
tion to distort the original
meaning of Ms. Johnson's
review, but simply edit in ac-
cordance with the goals of the
profile staff to produce a well
written and edited college
newspaper.

To the Editor:

I would like to correct the
report of an interview with me
which was published in the May
1 8 edition of the paper.

First, the interview was
neither conducted norwritten by
my friend and fellow student,
Elisabeth Smith.

Second, I did not say that
"Mothers aren't homicidal
towards their children," nor was
written to address that issue.

What I did say was that the
lack of success in the inves-
tigation of the children's
murders had caused such frus-
tration that people are grabbing
at straws. It is entirely possible
that a mother or father could kill
their own child, as evidenced by
many such murders in the his-
tory of humanity. It is also pos-
sible that one or some of the vic-
tims in Atlanta may have been
murdered by their parents but I
am not sufficiently informed to
comment on this, nor do I think
that anyone else is. I was ap-
palled that this accusation was
made, not because it is im-
possible, but because it is un-
substantiated.

As for my article being a
personal "Landmark", it is, but I
have felt little in the way of
celebration. It is difficult to forget
the tragic source of my article.

Thank you for your interest
and kindness in re-printing my
work.

Sincerely,
Jane A. Zanca

The Cata lyst Committee's May
1 1 th survey gave the committee
a very good indication of what
concerns the student body As a
mediator between students and
other campus organizations, the
committee's target areas in
order of priority for next year are
the possibility of 30-hour
minors, getting a coin - changing
machine, and changing Ac-
counting Office banking hours. If
you have any other suggestions
or concerns, please let a Catalyst
member know.

The results of our survey are
as follows: 32% of the student
body responded, and of those
who responded 83% were
concerned with lengthening
lunch hours, 73% were
concerned about having minors,

70% wanted to get a coin -
changing machine, 57% were to
change Accounting Office ban-
king hours, 50% wanted more
diversified social functions, 44%
wanted Saturday mail, 43%
mentioned concern over
panetals, 42% were concerned
with the cafeteria food, all less
than 40% were redecoration of
date parlors, changing 9-hr.
courses to three 3-hr. courses,
increased communication
between students and ad-
ministration, and guidelines for
take - home tests

Thanks again for all the good
suggestions.

"The Four Seasons" Arrives At Last

"Star", "Celebrity", and "TV
Personality" are all terms that
could be used to describe Alan
Alda, who was present at a
private showing of his new
movie, The Four Seasons. Fill-
ing one of the new Lenox Square
theaters, press - persons and
guests excitedly awaited their
first view of the film . Th is story of
three couples moving through
their seasons of friendship was
partially filmed on the Agnes
Scott campus last spring. Mr.
Alda, sitting inconspicuously in
the theater, has been attending
these private screenings all over
the country to promote the
movie. Immediately after the
showing, he participated in a
brief question and answer
period.

What is Alan Alda like? Ac-
cording to Mr. Alda, he is "just
an ordinary person." This

certainly proved true as one
observed him in his conservative
sport coat and tie, as he casually
joked and conversed with the
audience. Mr. Alda's un-
pretentiousness can be at-
tributed to his sensitivity to
people and their relationships
with each other. This capacity to
relate to people comprises the
basis of many of hisplots. In fact,
the idea for The Four Seasons
came from a personal
experience. He mentioned that
an incident occurred between
him and a friend which led Alda
to judging this person. This
judgement became the founding
thesis of the film. He then began
thinking about relationships in
the sense that they, like the
seasons, grow and change.

Because most of his scripts
are about people, he does not
expect them to be block - buster

hits. They do not feature the
usual car crashes, disasters, and
violence that many big money -
making pictures include. He says
that he cannot write about these
things because he is so
"interested in human relation-
ships." Although his movies are
geared toward middle - aged
adults, he finds they also appeal
to people under twenty - five. "I
get mad because studio people
stereotype young people." He
said the studios feel the only
type of movie a young crowd will
enjoy is the mystery, thriller, or
disaster movie.

The Four Seasons, which also
stars Carol Burnett, Rita
Moreno, Len Cariou, Jack Wes-
ton, Sandy Dennis, and Bess
Armstrong, had onlya sixmillion
dollar budget. Alda chose the
cast because they were suited
for their parts. He did not care if

"Napoleon" Reviewed

by B . J . Loyd

The premiere of NAPOLEON
VU PAR ABLE GANCE was held
at the Theatre National de
I'Opera in Paris on April 7, 1 927.
Planned as the first part of a six
film epic on the life of Napoleon,
Ga nee was only able to finish the
first film due to financial dif-
ficulties. But it was a
masterpiece. Using film techni-
ques as much as 30 years ahead
of his time, Gance put the
camera in places it had never
been before: on horseback dur-
ing a chase scene; on a pen-
dulum to achieve a storm - like

affect and culminating with the

Triptychs - the three screen
process which became known
as Polivision.

Unfortunately, just six months
after t he re lease of
NAPOLEON, THE JAZZ
SINGER premiered and the
talkies over - shadowed
Gance's genius.

Francis Ford Coppola, with the
help of Gance, Jacques Ledoux
of the Royal Belgian Film
Archives, and others, has put
together the scattered pieces of

NAPOLEON. Carmine Coppola

composed the score from an
orchestra of 60 musicians.
Three - fourths of the music for
the now 4 hour film is original.

NAPOLEON was performed
at the FOX on May 7, 8 and 1 0. It
is an amazing achievement,
enhanced greatly by the live
orchestral accompaniment.
Gance has captured the spirit of
this almost mythical hero of the
French people. The film is a
masterpiece, not only for its
technical achievements, but for
conveying the passions of this
period of history.

As hip ice cream vendors spreading good humor
through the streets of L.A., Cheech and Chong pursue
the outrageous antics and wacky adventures that have
made them America's favorite screen comedy team in
their third motion picture, "Cheech & Chong's Nice
Dreams."

Virginia Langley's entry in the
Cheech and Chong 'Tell us your
nice dreams" contest has ad-
vanced to final competition and
will be among those judged by
Cheech and Chong. Her entry
was as follows: "While doing an
independent study in chemistry I
actually develop a gas which
makes one smile. News hits the
press. Cosmetic industry says it
reduces wrinkles. Police claim it
inhibits crowd violence. Hot
debate in public assembly.
Shouting. Sample container
breaks. Smiling begins.
Agreement. Declared a national
treasure."

they were box - office sellers.
Therefore he was able to keep
the budget low because the ac-
tors and actresses really wanted
to do the movie. His two
daughters had supporting roles
and his wife, Arlene, was
present during the filming. She
will release a book in a few
weeks about the production of
The Four Seasons.

The movie is well worth
seeing. Unlike other human
dramas (Kramer vs Kramer and
Ordinary People) it is a comedy
but it still conveys a meaningful
message. The acting and
cinematography are very well
done. Alan Alda admits that his
character "has more of him than
ever before.'' The character is
essentially heroic but not
without flaws. As Mr. Alda says,
"he is basically decent "but not
perfect."

Even though Agnes Scott is

only shown in two scenes, it is
recognizable, especially Buttrick
and the library. Melody Johnosn,
Marion Mayer, and Beth Shac-

kleford, who were extras in the
movie, can also be seen. Mr.
Alda remarked that he was
extremely grateful to everyone
associated with the college for
bearing with the inconvenience
of using Winship and filming
parts of the campus. He joked
about transforming the grounds
from spring to fall which was
done by taping colored leaves to
trees and spraying bushes
brown. After having the op-
portunity to see The Four

Seasons in the making and be-
ing able to enjoy it in the theater
one can conclude that it was
worth the inconvenience!

A Review:

Taken In Marriage

For their Spring production
this year, the Agnes Scott
Blackfriars presented TAKEN IN
MARRIAGE by Thomas Babe,
under the direction of John Toth.
The story involves five women at
a wedding rehearsal, four of
whom are related. The play
struggles with the questions of
honesty, marriage, loyalty, and
communication. Leigh Hooper
plays Annie, the young bride
who is a mixture of simple in-
nocence and twentieth century
worldliness. She struggles
throughout the play to deal with
these juxtaposed selves. She is
surrounded by her mother

Trip to Middle East Filled with Adventure

Editor's Note:

Lucia Rawls, a senior ma-
joring in political science and
English spent her spring break
on a trip to the Middle East spon-
sored by The American Friends
Service Committe. Below is her
account.

Finally! We arrived in Beirut!
At this point it had been almost a
day and a half since I had slept.
We flew MEA (Middle East
Airlines), an experience in itself,
arriving in Beirutfrom Geneva in
the early evening. We were met
by our contact and taken through
the devastated city of Beirut to
our hotel, the Mayflower. Only
for a moment, though.
Immediately we were whisked
away through the streets of
Beirutand the mystery novel had
begun. Suddenly, we found
ourselves in front of a shabby
building, inconspicuous except
for the young men all around
with M-1 6's that hung from their
shoulders like a third arm. Had I
been blindfolded I couldn't have
been more disoriented, but this
was for a pu rpose as we were at
the secret headquarters of Yas-
sir Arafat, Chairman of the
P.L.O. - the Palestine Liberation
Organization. Up several flights
of stairs, through adark hallway,
and finally to a contrastingly nice
conference room, we were
ushered by PLO personnel.
Minutes passed like hoursaswe
waited for his arrival . . . within
only minutes, though, Arafat
came in and the room was filled
with electric excitement!

I would wager that I was the
most excited person in the whole
room - I had not yet adjusted to
the factthat at 21 I was fulfilling
my dream of going to the Middle
East, NOT TO MENTION being in
Arafat's secret headquarters
within the first few hours of be-
ing there! Fortunately, I had a

tape recorder with me and was
therefore able to look around
and absorb my surroundings
without fear of missing someth-
ing he was to say. Our meeting
lasted better than two hours and
was more of an honor than we
realized at the moment. He was
postponing a trip to Iran to meet
with Ayatollah Khomeini in
order to meet with our group the
moment we reached the country
- a first for any group meeting
with Arafat (usually groups will
have to wait until some obscure
hour of the night and then see
him for a comparatively short
time). Even though I had not
slept in almost 36 hours, the
adrena lin was flowing, and I was
wide awake. After all, how does
one doze when meeting with
one of the most controversial
men in the world? He was noth-
ing like what I had expected,
based on news reports, the
paper, Reagan, and my mother -
whenever I had expressed
curiosity as to what he was like
at home, my mother always
cringed and called him a beady -
eyed murderer. He is a soft -
spoken man, very com-
passionate, and frustrated from
trying to win back the homeland
of his people for almost two
decades. His description of the
hell faced daily in South
Lebanon from Israeli shelling of
Palestinian military sites AND
refugee camps AND civilian
towns and villages succeeded in
creating an air of understanding
for his situation - not to mention
a bit of guilt at the knowledge
that it is U.S. aid and military
equipment that is bringing this
hell to South Lebanon. He also
explained the structure of the
PLO, including the fact that the
armed resistance makes up only
one-fifth of the entire

organization, contrary to the im-
pression given in the U.S. media.
The PLO is more of a
government - in - exile, though
undeclared with Departments of
Politics, Education, Health, In-
formation, National Relations,
Finance, Affairs of the Occupied
Homeland, as well as Military, in
a democratic structure of elected
representatives. The question
naturally arose about the PLO
charter that supposedly calls for
the destruction of Israel and the
threat to throw the Jews into the
sea. Arafat refuted these
allegations and called our atten-
tion to the proposal that the PLO
has placed before Israel: "We
have said that we are ready to
establish our independent state
in any part, any part, from which
the Israelis are willing to
withdraw or to be liberated ... If
our fathers were still alive, they
would not accept our solutions,
to live in a part of Palestine. But
we are a pragmatic leadership.
We are looking for what we can.
We are not calling forthe moon -
we know that we have to find a
solution."

If I may regress for just a
moment, I'll explain who the
"we" is to whom I keep
referring! "We" was a group of
seventeen men and women, of
whom I was the only one under
the age of forty - five or fifty,
coming from eight different
states on the East coast and hav-
ing such diverse professions as
literary editor, professor of
Islamic history, former Navy
WAVE, minister, oil company
executive, church educator,
shop owner, and farmer.

The group was diverse, but
all had a common interest in the
Middle East and the level of
knowledge and experience in
the area was much higher than

Agnes Scott Student Interns At
Federal Treatment Center

Senior Debra Yoshimura has
had an extremely busy year. She
has been involved in a volunteer
internship for the last two
quarters Debra works sixteen
hours a week at the Federal
Treatment Center, a half-way
house for federal penitentiary
residents on parole. The lodge is
run by the Salvation Army with
volunteers like DeLra working
there The center in Atlanta is a
model program funded by the
government. Staying there is
one of the conditions of the
resident's parole. Each resident
must work and pay rent to the
lodge In addition, each one of
the residents is assigned a
counselor; Debra serves as a
counselor. In her capacity as
counselor, Debra counsels her

clients, does the bookkeeping for
her clients, and does job
verifications to make sure the
residents are working. Since the
project is involved with the
federal government, Debra said
that there was "a lot of redtape"
and that she "has to document
eve rything."

Debra found out about the
internship in the CPO office. To
be accepted as an intern Debra
had to go through four
interviews. She said that this
was because it was with a
government program. Debra
said she feels that this type of
internship would be good for
psychology, sociology, political
science majors or anyone
interested in corrections
programs.

Last summer Debra did an
internship with the Council for
Battered Women. Debra became
interested in the shelter after
hearing a guest speaker in her
social psychology class last year.

To work as a counselor, Debra
had to participate in two days of
intensive training. Debra s res-
ponsibilities at the shelter in-
cluded working on the 24-hour
hotline, and giving referrals for
doctors, housing, day care and
emergency shelters. Debra was
also responsible for working
with the women she admitted
into the shelter. In order to

receive credit for this internship,
Debra had to have it approved
and then she wrote a paper dea I-
ing with statistics on the calls
that came into the shelter.
Anyone interested in helping at
the shelter should contact the
Council for Battered Women.

anyone could have expected.

The tour, more of a fact-
finding expedition than tourist
venture, was sponsored by The
American Friends Service Com-
mittee. At the end of the sixteen
days, I felt like quite a world
traveler - this is someone who
has never left the East Coast of
the U.S. speaking - having been
to Geneva, Switzerland for a few
hours (yes, the Swiss Alps ARE
as magnificent as they Icok in
pictures), Lebanon - including
Beirut, Byblos, South Lebanon
(Sidon, Tyr), and Baalbek(in fact,
the day after I left Baalbek was
when the war began. You know,
my mother had warned me
about starting revolutions while
I was in the ME . . .) - Damascus,
Syria (I met the cutest man
therel), Jordan - Amman, the
capitol, and the ancient city of
Petra - , Israel - including the oc-
cupied territory of the West Bank
and the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem,
and Bethlehem - , and Egypt (I

THAT great, at least not as great
as it looks in the picturesl). I had
a myriad of experiences as
well. I was asked out to dinner by
the PLO's delegate to the U.N. ,

went to the front in South
Lebanon between the Israeli -
backed Maronites and the PLO,
was given a beautiful silver nec-
klace and bracelet by a young
merchant in Damascus, was
proposed to by the owner of an
arab truck stop on the way to
Petra, toured the Israeli set-
tlements in the West Bank with
an agriculturaleconomist who is
a specialist on settlements,
crossed the Sinai Desert for 14
hours in a bus, met with a
member of the Democratic Front
at the Knesset, went into the
center of a pyramid, rode a
camel, met the Pope of the
Orthodox Church.

And people wonder why it took
me a while to get back into the
study routine!

older sister, Andy. Far from her
own character and unlike any
part she had played before, An-
drea admitted to having
problems with the role. But she
succeeded Friday night in carry-
ing off the character with a wide
range of emotions that were
believable.

Set designer, Dudley Sanders,
provided a strikingly realistic set.
It was painted a color known as
operating-room green that can
be found only in church

basements. The reality of the set
allowed the action to procede
unhindered. One did not need to
take time to inspect the set but
rather to accept it as real and
concentrate on the action of the
play.

Agnes Scott is truly fortunate
to have a theatre department
whose astute selection of plays
and excellent performances
provide us both with
entertainment and a greater
awareness of life.
