September ZZ, 1980 Seminar Will Focus On The Middle East "The Middle East Today," a three-part seminar on the his- tory, economy and people of the Middle East, will be presented Oct. 8, 1 5 and 22 by the Agnes Scott College Alumnae As- sociation. The noncredit con- tinuing education seminar will feature lectures by Agnes Scott and Emory University profes- sors. The deadline for enroHing is Oct. 3. To reg ister, call the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association at extension 207. The cost is $15.00 per person, $25.00 per couple and $5.00 for students. The sem inar opens Oct. 8 with a lecture on the history of the Middle East by Kenneth W. Stein, assistant professor of Near Eastern history at Emory University and director of the Emory program in international studies. He will focus on issues related to the Arab-Israeli con- flict, oil and the Iranian crisis. Associate Professor William H. Weber, chairman of the Agnes Scott economics 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: Youthgrants Guidelines Mail Stop 103-C National Endowment for Humanities Washington, D.C. 20506 the Inside Alliance's Student Savings p. 2 Interdorm Plans p. 2 Reasoning Behind Sept.

Assistant Professor Ayse llgaz-Carden of the Agnes Scott psychology department will lec- ture Oct. 22 on the psychological and social effects of change in the Middle East. A native of Is- tanbul, Turkey, Professor Carden will focus on Turkey and examine the impact of the "pas- sing of a traditional society" on 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. Page 2 The Profile September 22, 1980 arts and entertainment 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.

Pretenders Rock By Lunar Lily Monday, September 1 5 was a night of contrasts. The Pretenders, the English Beat and the Producers formed a triple bill that packed the Agora Ballroom to overflowing. Skipping over the Producers, who presented a stupefying set of randomly in- fluenced 'new wave' rock, the evening is best described as an STUDENTS Full or part-time employment.

THE CRAWFORD W. LONG MEMORIAL HOSPITAL of Emory University 892-4411 ex. 532 (Personnel Department) An Equal Opportunity Employer 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 Continued on page 3 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!

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 The departments of An- thropology and Spanish are offering courses in the Yucatan (Mexico) over Christmas break.

We're glad to have Katie with usl Honor Court has already begun several projects, planned this summer and on retreat at Rock Eagle. One of these has been orientation of new students. With the help of faculty, Interdorm, Dorm Coun- cil, Orientation Council, and many Big Sisters, we've tried to impress upon freshmen and transfers not only the trust but by Susan Barnes Mortar Board Chairman Welcome to Agnes Scott, all you Pages, Patties, Scouts, and Scottiesl Mortar Board is so glad you're all here. We've already started working to make this year's Black Cat special for everyone on campus, but we need your help. As well as a uni- que way (to say the least) of welcoming the Scotties of 1 984 Writing a welcome letter must be the most difficult type of letter to compose. What more can be said than the ever-ringing Welcome. However this year my welcome is extended to you on behalf of the Christian As- sociation cabinet. As president 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? Please feel free to talk to any Mortar Board member or Orien- tation Council member. Ten Easy Steps to the Best Black Cat Everl the needs we see. I hope that your contact with us will be a rewarding as well as an en- couraging experience because C.A. is you. The C.A. cabinet members are as follows: Marie Castro, president; Debbie Arnold, vice-president; Sue Con- nor, secretary; Christia Riley, treasurer; Ellen Dyches, Group worship; Barbara Boersma, Service on Campus; Julie Babb, service off campus; Gina Philips, Discipleship; and Anita Barbee, social and orientation. I would also like to acknowledge Mrs. Mary Boney Sheats, our faculty advisor, who is a constant source of encouragement and wisdom for me. Marie Castro C.A. President System includes compliance with state law, we students are expected to obey the new drin- king law, just as we obey, for example, traffic laws. On cam- pus, particularly, a violation of the state drinking regulations is an Honor Code offense, one that should be reported to Honor Court. Our Board will handle 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 somehow become involved in an "illegal" student'sviolation (say, by furnishing the liquor) will appear before Honor Court. Cases involving only students 1 9 or older, however, go to Dorm Council. Off-campus, the situation is a little different. When each of us applied to A.S.C., we signed the 1) Be maturel Let COMMON SENSE and CONSIDERATION help to guide your enjoyment of Black Cat. 2) Malicious or vindictive pranks and destruction of school or personal property have NO PLACE in Black Cat activities. 3) Be sure to obey all college regulations throughout Black Cat activities, and be aware of the special rules for fall-quarter freshmen (i.e. curfew, class attendance). 4) All Black Cat activities must take place on campus or in faculty housing. This includes work on the freshman mascot and all pranks and practical jokes. 5) All freshmen must be in- formed of the mascot as soon as it has been chosen. 6) Clean up your own messes; do not leave them for the maids to deal with. 7) Do not take the master keys in order to break into rooms on campus. 8) Black Cat offers no excuse for late or unsatisfactory academic work 9) Remember that Black Cat is still four weeks away. Save your energy for major mascot-hun- ting during the week before the bonfire. 10) HAVE FUNII Black Cat is a great time just to relax and en- joyl HAPPY BLACK CATI! 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. A few last notes on the alcohol policy: The Board has no automatic penalties for any by Laura Klettner SGA President 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 study and to participate in prayer groups. Working For Awareness seeks to bring attention to issues of public interest; The Young Republicans stress political is- sues. The Student Admissions Representatives (SAR's) help recruit new students. Agnes Scott also offers you a variety of language clubs, CHIMO, Students for Black Awareness, the Film Series, and The College Bowl. Soon you will be electing representatives to Rep Council, Honor Court, Board of Student Activities, Arts Council, Spirit Committee, and Social Council. As you see, there are endless op- portunities for you to become in- volved in campus activities. These boards need smart, talented, hard workers like you. If you have any questions or just want to chat, come by my room (331 Rebekah) or call me (378- 1818). I promise you that extracurricular activities will enhance your life at Agnes Scott.

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. A schedule of events will be included in next week's Profile. Thespians Cast Fall Production "A Midsummer Night's Dream", a Shakespearean play, will be presented in the Winter Theatre on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 7,8. The play, a fantasy of love and competition, will be directed by Mr. Brooking and as- sistant director, Patty Higgins. The cast includes the following: Titania, Liz Steele; Oberson, Warren Whipple; Theseus, Larry Becker; Hippolyta, Marion Mayer; Egeus, Paul Kallio; Puck, Maggie Taylor and Robin McCain; Hermia, Susan Boyd; Helena, Marietta Townsend; Demetrius, Alan Kilpatrick; Lysander, Don Smith; Fairies, Collene Hunter, Carol Gorgus, and Andrea Wofford; Boys, Darion Rice, Adam Kuznesof, Marc Castellami; Indian Boy, Andre Maxwell; Battom, Mike Heck; Quince, Patrick Hogan; Flute, Paul Kuznesof; Snout, Joe Almond; Sung, Steve Zimmy; Starvling, Charles Harper.

Honor Court wishes to welcome the entire College Community to the program. The Board is particularly concerned that freshmen and transfers attend. Large copies of the Agnes Scott College Honor Pledge will be available after convocation so that new students will be able to sign them. The parchments will be displayed in Buttrick Hall along with those of previous classes. Their signing is an annual ceremony which has come to symbolize students' continuing faith in the Honor System. Page 2 The Profile September 29, 1 980 editorials 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. ASC College Republicans by Marcia Whetsel The A.S.C. College Republicans held their first meeting of the quarter on Thurs., Sept. 1 8 at 7O0 p.m. in the Hub. The group, which will be meet- ing every Thursday at 7:00 in the Hub, discussed their plans for political activities in the next few weeks. On Wed., Oct. 1 at 7:00 p.m. Carol Lancaster, from the Atlanta Reagan Headquarters will be speaking to the club about the upcoming activities in the Atlanta area and Gov. Reagan's positions on several is- sues. On Sept. 27 some members plan to participate in the opening of Reagan's Fulton County Headquarters in Buc- khead, as well as doing some campaigning on Oct. 4 and 1 1 in area shopping centers with Reagan campaign officials. Many members will be volunteering to work in the weeks ahead at the Decatur headquarters on Ponce de Leon. They also will be participating in campaign activities with students from Emory, Mercer, Georgia Tech, and Georgia State. If anyone has any ques- tions, please contact the president, Marcia Whetsel, or the vice-president, Valerie Kay.

If so, allow me to illuminate you. Women organized, petitioned, endured imprisonment, were beaten, starved, fought, and some died, that we might casually meander to the voting booth (if we're in the mood) and cast our ballots. Nothing less would have done the trick. So, what about the ERA? Well, for one thing, no one is going to hand it to us. It's a power issue clear and simple. And what do we know about power? Suff ice it to say that no one in power is go- ing to say, "Hey, all you powerless people, come on over and have some of mine." If you believe that, sisters, we em- phatically have NOT come a long way. 404/939-4400 Secretarial Service TYPING. PROOFREADING. EDITING Business & Academic 2256 Nonhiake Parkway.

September 29, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 arts and entertainment 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. Tuesday, Sept. 30, 7 and 9 p.m.; Buttrick Film Room. Beethoven's Fifth to Public Image Ltd. Second Edition to Grahm Parker and the Rumor's 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. by Lunar Lily 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- titheses of rock and roll a 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. The Turning Point PiL's Second Edition A Radical Change On A Desert Island Page 4 The Profile September 29, 1980 features 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. Desert biologists take a rest from tarantula hunting & scorpion escaping.

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! Student Examines Government The 1 980 England trip group which was accompanied by Prof and Mrs. Brown took time to enjoy the countryside, photo courtesy Amy Dodson 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. September 29, 1 980 The Profile 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; Carol Tveit, RTC student; Helen Anderson, president of Interdorm; and Pat Arnzen, 1980 Silhouette editor. 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. Page 6 The Profile September 29, 1 980 s ports 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 Scotties' autumn schedule is as follows: Team Tennis Agnes Scott Courts Sunday Sept. 21 4-6 P.M.

If so, you're wrong! For many years now Agnes Scott has had a field hockey team which competes with various other college and recreational teams. Practice for this year's season started Monday, September 15 and is held from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays every week.

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. \ I 0 & America's life savers. HELP YOURSELF And help others. Give blood.

Inside Honor Ends In Letitio Pate P. 2 Special Students Abound P. 3 Epicurean's Delight Returns P.4 Wild Party on a Wild Planet P. 5 SDT Has New Feet P.6 by Ann Conner 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 AUTHOR TALK SHOW, produced by Georgia Public Television will air on Channel 30 WETV. The air date is Sunday. Oct. 26 at 5:30 p.m. Gene-Gabriel Moore hosts BY-LINE. 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 buffet dinner. Following dinner, a speaker or panel of speakers addresses the group on a Agnes Scott College organist Raymond J. Martin will perform a recital of 1 8th, 1 9th and 20th- century music Monday, Oct. 6, at Agnes Scott. Concert time is 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall, and the public is invited, free of particular topic. Following the address, each "roundtable" group discusses the speech among themselves. Following the group discussions, the speaker or panel of speakers returns to entertain questions charge. Playing on a Schlicker mechanical-action organ, Dr. Martin will perform the 18th- century works "Andante in F" by Mozart, 'Voluntary in D Minor" by John Stanley and "Chorale Preludes" from "Clavierubung that have come up in the dis- cussions. The Economics Department wishes to stress that "Roundtable" is open to all interested students, not only Economics or Business majors. Presser III" by J. S. Bach. Professor Martin will also perform the 1 9th-century piece "Sonata III in A" by Mendelssohn and the 20th-century works "Orgel- Mosaiken" by Hermann Schroeder and "Carillon de Westminster" by Louis Vierne. The Black Cat dance, the culmination of Black Cat events, will be held Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 pm to 1 am in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel. First Class will be performing at this semi-formal dance, spon- sored by the Agnes Scott social council. Two cash bars and free hors d'oeuvres will be available. Tickets will go on sale this Wednesday for $10 per couple. Tickets will be $1 3 at the door. The Marriott is located at the corners of Courtland and International. The Grand Ballroom is on the lower level. Vice-president of Social Coun- cil, Malinda Roberts, said, "This is going to be one of our better Black Cats. We have a superb location." Darby Bryan, president, added, "We were very fortunate to get this band." Martin Performs In Page 2 The Profile October 6, 1 980 editorials 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- by Susan Mead 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 comparing Agnes Scott to some 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 your parti Loan your bed, be a Guide, help a lost prospective student find herclassroom, flash a smile. You are Agnes Scott College to these high school students! and For those of you who loan a bed and have a test and just need to study, rooms in the infirmary will be available. Contact the Loan - a - Bed committee if you would like to take advantage of this. Signs will be up to let all of you know when and where to pick up linens and when and where to return them. Any further questions should be directed to any of the committee chairmen listed on the pink sheet you received last week, to Admissions, or to Susan Mead, President of the Student Ad- missions representatives (Box 436, 373-1244). Remember, in the midst of all the Black Cat craziness, we will have visitors in and around the dorms. Don't dare stop having fun, just try not to scare off and future Scotties! Finally, take a break Thursday night and come up to the Bradley Observatory from8:30- 10:30 forthe campus wide reception it is for all of us! See schedule, page 6. per mont), orange juice $680.00 per month) and bacon bits (over $10.00 per meal) in our meal plan. Obviously, we don't hold ourselves accountable for our inexcusable wastefulness which prevents us from ob- taining the very things that we want from our dining hall. Sadly, we refuse to extend our honor system past our academic integrity, leaving us with no honor at all. A rather trite illustration in by Libby Wood 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 October 7.

SARs Need Help CPO Announces Extern Program October 6, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 features 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 from Sri Lanka. i Rasanjali Wickrema Page 4 The Profile October 6, 1 980 arts and entertainment 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 Viva La France by Kathy Nelson 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.

Lunch 11:00 - 2:30 Monday through Friday, Dinner 5:30 - 10:00 Monday through Saturday. Happy Hour 4:00 - 6:30. Major credit cards are welcome. One of the main reasons I wanted to start this year's column off with Conversations Restaurant is that it is probably the best Decatur has to offer. But best of all it's within easy walk- ing distance of the Colelge. Located directly across the street from the DeKalb Courthouse on North McDonough, the one year old restaurant is housed in what used to be the Belk's department store. Personally, I think their lun- 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.

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. October 6, 1 980 The Profile Page 5 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. Page 6 The Profile October 6, 1980 s ports 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 during the tournament was not in the finals when she defeated Turnbill. Mandlikova 's true vic- tory was when she defeated third-seeded Chris Evert Lloyd 6- of them. They will work, and 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 part of something beautiful. 4 and 6-1 Saturday before 4,500 people in Alexander Coliseum. It was the first time Mandlikova had defeated Chris in fuve mat- ches.

Davis Tennis Classic At Tech 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 Buttrick A View From A Broad Continued from page 4 A representative from Michael Parver Associates said that while Rich's had only 1500 books, they expected five to ten thousand people As always Ms. Midler stayed until the last book was signed about 8:30 p.m. According to the represen- tative, Ms. Midler signed 200 books per hour. However in the half hour we were there she signed less than thirty. When asked how long she thought she'd have to wait, one woman in the back of the guessed three hours.

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. Social Council Presents First Class For The Black Cat Dance The Black Cat dance, the culmination of Black Cat events, will be held Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 pm to 1 am in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel. First Class will be performing at this semi-formal dance, spon- sored by the Agnes Scott social council. Two cash bars and free hors d'oeuvres will be available The Marriott is located at the corners of Courtland and International. The Grand Ballroom is on the lower level. Mandatory Convocation Features ASC Trustees Chairman Atlanta business and civic leader L. L. Gellerstedt Jr. will address the annual Honors Day Convocation at Agnes Scott College in Decatur Wednesday, Oct., 15, at 11:15 a.m. in Presser Hall. The public is invited, free of charge.

Page 2 The Profile October 13, 1980 editorials Connie's Commentary 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, David P. Behan sentences. It also drives a lot of people totally insane who might otherwise have been good citizens and a profit to society 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.

Postal money orders only and any and all help will be greatly ap- preciated. Sincerely, Larry E. Evans 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). More next week.

Faculty On Black Cat October 13, 1980 The Profile Page 3 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. Joy Johnson Tnsha 404/939-4400 Secretarial Service TYPING. PROOFREADING. EDITING Business & Academic 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. Sincerely, William H.

HAPPY BLACK CAT! 1 1 'Gbuck, as ol wfn^. tbjL dUver Page 4 The Profile October 13, 1980 arts and entertainment 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 difficult work on the company in Continued on page 6 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! October 13, 1980 The Profile Page 5 features 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." Chris Qill 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- 2414. Page 6 The Profile October 13, 1980 s ports 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- ject isto hold the opposition from making goals at his end of the playing field, while simultaneously trying to get the ball to make goals. Only 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 Frosh Fast Runner by Tiz Faison 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. Atlanta Ballet Continued from page 4 September. The October program will also include "Circles," featuring Berio's composition and Saeko Ochinoche's choreography; Pazik's 'Tzigane," originally choreographed for Joffrey II to music by Budashkin, and "Luminesque," choreographed by the Ballet's artistic Director Robert Barnett to "Concerto Number 1 in D Major" by Saint- Saens The season continues November 7 and 8 with another Balanchine masterpiece, "Allegro Brilliante," featuring Tchaikovsky's Third Piano Concerto," the lyrical "Still Point," choreographed by Todd Bolender to Debussy's "String Quartet;" 'Trio," a Pazik work danced to Bach's "Concerto Numbers," and the premeiere of a classical ballet by Bruce Wells. The November 21 and 22 will also draw from the rich bank of Balanchine choreography. The company will perform his "Variations" and "Pas de Dix" from ' 'R aym onde " to Glazounov's music, as well as Qazik's "Bagatelles" with music by Tcherepnin, and a premiere to be announced All programs will be given at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays at the Fox Theatre. Persons interested in student discounts or more information should call 873-5811 number one position; Nancy Griffith; and Virginia Bouldin also made a good showing, however, were overpowered by Oglethorpe's experience. There are only two returning players, Teace Markwalter and Kathy Fulton from last year's team. The top five players are: Teace Markwalter, Sue Feese, Nancy Griffith, Kathy Fulton, and Virginia Bouldin. The next home match will oe against Georgia Tech on October 13. 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.

Agnes Scott is sponsoring the festival in con- junction with the Folger Library exhibit, "Shakespeare: The Globe and The World," which will be on display at the High Museum of Art beginning in February, 1981 . After the opening by the Alabama Shakespeare Festival Theatre, the English Renais- sance Festival will continue with performances of "AMidsummer Night's Dream" by the Agnes Scott Blackfrairs, a lecture on Hamlet by Renee Girard Oct. 29, 8:15 in Presser, and lectures on Sir Thomas More and other Elizabethan topics, a concert of Baroque and early Renaissance dance by the New York Baroque Ensemble and Concert Royal and other events yet to be an- nounced. The Renaissance Festival will culminate in the spring with an Elizabethan Revue directed by John Toth of the theatre department, a Renaissance style banquet and a fair with medieval games and entertainment. 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 8. The Blackfriars will present a modern interpretation of this delightful fantasy about lovers, lunatics and poets. All performances will be at 8:15 p.m. in the Winter Theatre of the 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. Photo Credit: Susan Orpin 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. Inside: Connie's Commentary ...p. 2 Epicurean's Delight ,p.4 Calendar of Events p.4 Dancers and Runners. ..p. 6 Page 2 The Profile October 20, 1 980 editorials 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?

Sincerely, Patrice Dickey 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. October 20, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 features 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 1 Tom and Janice Laymon are the new Winship dormitory parents. Janice graduated from American N azarene with a B.S. in Religious Education. She said she hopes to further her education and that she would like to be a 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. Janice said, "You have to be mature to handle some of the situations that arise. It's fun, though. I feel like I'm 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.

Kaplan 's - Lenox Square - 266-1111 Sunday through Thursday 1 1 a.m. - 1 1 p.m., Friday and Satur- day 1 1 a.m. - 1 p.m. They accept all major credit cards but no personal checks. D.B. Kaplan's has been opened for quite a while but it was tucked away in the lower level. Now with the opening of Lenox Square's new section, Kaplan's has expanded a little and added a second entrance - therefore more people are dis- covering the joys of this deli heaven. The most impressive thing about this place has to be the menu. It is vast as well as extremely entertaining. You really have to see it to believe it. Sandwiches are definitely their selling point but that's not all they offer. They also have appetizers (such as chopped 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 One For All Clubs Agora (872-4672): Oct. 21 America $5.50 23 Magic Cat $2 24 Larson Featon Band 28 Steve Forbert $4.50 30 Gil Scott Herron $6.50 31 Brains and the Basics, $3.96 door, 96 ROCK Halloween Party 688 (872-7500): Oct. 21-22 Vietnam $2 23 Kaos, The Skin Kings $2 24 Stranglers $4 25 dBs, the Shades $3 29 Psychedelic Downtown Cafe (875-7709): Oct. 23-25 XL's $2 Thur., $3 Fri. and Sat.

October 20, 1 980 The Profile Page 5 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 Continued on page 6 Marguerite Smith's Dry Cleaning and Laundry - In Business Since 1940 - Family Establishment Free Pickup and Delivery for ASC 377-2565 248 W. Ponce De Leon Ave. 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. Page 6 The Profile October 20, 1 980 s ports 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. Sarah Campbell 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. Fun Run!

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. mt Profile .Agnea ^cott College - Decatur, (a.. Sfauember 3, 19 8 D 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 with which college students can identify," explained junior Bon- nie Etheridge, chairman of academic orientation. Godwin, born in Birmingham, Ala., and educated in the South and Midwest, began her writing career as a journalist on the Miami Herald. She continues to contribute fiction and essays to magazines such as Atlantic, Ms., Harper's, McCall's, Es- quire, North American Review, Paris Review and Writer. She has been a guest lecturer for writers' workshops at The Un iversity of Iowa and Columbia University and has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and of a grant from the National Endowment forthe Arts. 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- vocation honored the academic accomplishments of fifty - two Honor Roll students and Three Stukes Scholars. The Stukes Scholars are the three students in the sophomore, junior, and senior classes who rank first academically in their respective classes. This year's Stukes Scholars are sophomore, Carolyn Rose Goodman; Junior, Bonnie Gay Etheridge; Senior, lla Leola Burdette. The Honor Roll for the 1 979 - 1 980 session includes: Seniors - Class of 1981 Susan Sanders Barnes, Melissa Amelia Breitling, lla Leola Burdette, Carol Ruth Chapman, Kelley Ann Coble, Clyda Dare Gaither, Mary Elizabeth Hebert, Margaret Mit- chell Hodges, Susan Gail Kennedy, Maureen Kennedy Lach, Chu Kee Loo, Kok-Yean Looi, Wendy Anne Merkert, Melanie Ann Merrif ield, Niran- jani Shariya Molegoda, Susan McGrath Nelson, Shannon Elizabeth Perrin, Jane Quillman, Martha Thomson Sheppard, Claudia Gazaway Stucke, Karen Lee Tapper, Luci Neel Wan- namaker, Susan Claire Win- namaker.

Page 2 The Profile November 3, 1 980 editorials 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." Curtis K.

November 3*, 1 980 The Profile Page 3 features 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, continued on page 5 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!

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- til Paul Simon gives us another treat like this. 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.

Available Now At Bookstore 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. Page 6 The Profile November 3, 1 980 s ports Two For Tennis / Tennis For Two 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 tavern f FREE DRAFT j WITH THIS AD BAR BRANDS ONE DOLLAR HEINEKEN 1.00 TWO FOR ONE ALL NIGHT 50* DRAFT 12 OUNCE GLASS MOLSON VS MOOSEHEAD 1.00 M3EA$ ENTERTAINMENT TWO FOR ONE HAPPY HOUR TIL NINE &AGMSA1 ENTERTAINMENT MEXICAL MEXICAN IMPORTS 1.00 MARGARITS 1.50 TOCO HILLS 329-0796 NORTH DRUID HILLS AT LA VISTA Glee Club Holds National Composition Contest The Agnes Scott College Glee Club announces its third national contest for com- positions for treble - voice choruses.

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.

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 Laura NOTICE: This man may be armed and dangerous!

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 The Point is: Everything you need for your office is here at a reasonable price. Pencils, pens, paper, wastebaskets and files are in stock at our 3 convenient locations. Come in, or call and we'll deliver. 701 Church Street, Decatur 377-4231 Chamblee Plaza. Chamblee 451-0104 Piedmont/Peachtree Crossing, Buckhead 233-1968 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. Page 4 Talking Heads... Roxy Music... Album File The Profile November 10, 1980 Rundgren/Hunter Benefits Fans 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. November 10, 1980 The Profile Page 6 features 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, participated in the symposium held at the Peachtree Plaza Hotel two weeks ago. Prof. Leslie was by Colleen O'Neill Martha Anne Tudor is a sophomore transfer from Augusta College in Augusta, Georgia. Through the early ad- missions program, Martha Anne has spent the last year taking college courses full time while still officially registeredasa high school senior. 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 "Declaration for the Es- tablishment of a New International Economic Order," United Nations, 1974. The Dialogue was intended to in- volve a variety of concerned French Club and on the Dean's List. She was the winner of the 1979 National Association of State and Garden Clubs' speech and essay contest. Her speech wasentitled "Wildlife and Man's Encroaching Development." Among those sitting in the New Orleans audience was wildlife conservationist and actor Robert Redford. Here at Agnes Scott, Martha Anne finds life to be very 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 code, but there were men. Also, Augusta College is strictly a four year community college so there were no dorms. Being awayfrom home is no less new to Martha Anne than it is to most of the freshmen. She says that although she misses her family very much she is very secure and therefore she is not really homesick. Anne Page, Martha Anne's roommate isa freshman and this caused a certain amount of ruc- kus during Black Cat, especially Overseas Development Council, John W. Sewell; Representative of Liberia to the United Nations, H.E.B. Akporode Clark, Executive Director of the United Nations Fund for Population Ac- tivities, Rafael M. Salas, and the Secretary - General of the United Nations Decade for Women. Prof. Johnson said that the topic of the changing world economy was a "timely and im- portant" one. "Lesser developed countries are becoming more assertive as they feel they have been wronged in the past," he explained. Although these coun- tries have a lower status, Western economies are dependent on many of their when Anne and some of her friends stole the Sophomore Class's scholastic trophy, and when the wooden grating was ripped off their window. Martha Anne said she found no trouble getting into the swing of Black Cat and that she is now faithful to the Boy Scouts.

She will decide before the end of the year when she declares her ma- jor to be either English and Creative Writing or Biology. economies, such as U.S. dependence on OPEC, according to Prof. Johnson. He cited one significant objective of the Dialogue, "to get people to face the future.

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.

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.

Environmental Symposium Highlights Winter Quarter DECATUR (ATLANTA), Ga. - Barry Commoner, en- vironmental biologist and the Citizen's Party 1980 presidential nominee, will join a dis- tinguished list of speakers for the Atlanta Environmental Symposium III January 27 and 28, 1981, at Agnes Scott College. The purpose of the Third Atlanta Environmental Symposium has been explained by its organizers, Agnes Scott Students Display Art Achievements The Agnes Scott College art students will display paintings, drawings, ceramic sculpture, pottery and handmade paper in the Agnes Scott art galleries Jan. 11 through Feb. 9. The works are on display in the Dana Fine Arts Building which is open to the public, free of charge, seven days a week. Instructors of the art students are Agnes Scott faculty Charles Counts, Terry McGehee and Leland Staven. Counts teaches ceramics and McGehee teaches two and three dimensional design. Her students will display the handmade paper. Staven teaches drawing, painting and printmaking. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m. faculty members Steven A. Haworth, Robert A. Leslie, and Harry Wistrand. They have stated: "One of the major ques- tions 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 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. "We hope this symposium will point to alternative resources and changes in current con- sumption patterns and lead to suggestions for changes in lifes- Continued on page 3 Page 2 The Profile January 19, 1981 editorials 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 paint job and the Decatur Alum- 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.

Health ???????????? Questions Knowing the answers to ques- tions about health is important. In order to help answer your questions the Student Health Center would like to announce a new question and answer op- portunity. A question box has been placed in the mailroom and all students are invited to place any health questions they have in the box. Each week a question will be answered in The Profile. So, start writing down those questions about colds, flu, dieting, exercise, medical tests etc., drop them in the box and start looking for you r answers in The Profile. Some Jockey Shorts The ASC tennis team started practice January 1 3th. They will be practicing individually in- doors until early February. These individual practices will consist of a thirty minute drill on the wall. The team will then begin group conditioning circuits after 2Vi weeks of individual practice. The tennis team will travel to Florida over the spring break to play four matches. The matches will be with University of Tampa, (who are the regional champs), St. Petersburg Junior College, Hillsboro College, Eckerd College, and Georgia South West. Good Luck tennis team! January 19, 1981 The Profile Page 3 features 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, by Laurie McBrayer 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." Continued on page 5 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. Southern Writer Welty Visits "Second Home" Again SympOSium Continued tyle and values which could lessen the impact of scarcity." Dr. Commoner, will open the symposium Tuesday at 8 p.m. with a talk on the nature of the scarcity of natural resources. The symposium will continue Wednesdayat 9:30 a.m. with a series of short talks on en- vironmental ethics from a humanistic perspective. The speakers will be Dr. Odum, director of the Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia; Cahn, Washington, D.C., editor of Audubon magazine and one of the original members of the President's Council on En- vironmental Quality; Dr. Frederick Ferre, head of the University of Georgia philosophy and religion department; and Henderson, an advisor to the Congressional Institute for the Future and the U.S. Office of Technology Assessment. Dr. Orr, co-director of the self - from page 1 sustaining Meadowcreek com- munity in Fox, Ark., and former political science professor at Agnes Scott, will give a lun- cheon address on the politics of scarcity at 1 p.m. Environmental ethics from a theological perspective will be presented at 2:30 p.m. by Dr. Erskine, associate professor of theology and ethics, Candler School of Theology, Emory University; the Grays, ethicists and co - directors of the Bolton Institute for "a good transition to a sustainable society in harmony with natural systems"; and Dr. Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Dr. Thompson, director of the educational community the Lin- disfarne Association, will sum- marize the symposium proceedings and provide an overview of the issues in a con- cluding address at 8 p.m. Orientation Author Speaks Page 4 The Profile January 19, 1981 arts and entertainment the Police Bob James 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."

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.

Saraiarg 2H. 1381 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." lla Burdette 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. Page 2 The Profile January 26, 1981 editorials 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; f ruffle AgtiM &cott (Eolkg* - Decatur, (Georgia THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

All copy is subject to normal editing 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 Con't on p. 7 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. -Laura NOTICE: Because of the rising mailing costs, many parents did not receive, or were late in receiving fall quarter issues of The Profile.

January 26, 1981 The Profile Page 3 features 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 - Cont. p.7 Page 4 The Profile January 26, 1981 arts and entertainment 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.

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 Dance Atlanta Continued from page 4 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. On advance sales, students can save $2.00 on any $10.25, $8.25, or $6.25 ticket at all SEATS outlets or the Fox Theatre. During student rush, all remaining tickets are half price one hour before curtain at the Fox Theatre. One valid 1980-81 I.D. is required. One I.D. per person. For information, call 881-1977. Les Grands Ballets Canadiens is a presentation of Dance Atlan- ta. The Canadian engagement replaces the International Ballet of Caracas on Dance Atlanta's 1980 - 81 season. The Caracas Company cancelled its United States tour due to internal labor disputes.

Ibsen-Riley wrote her play, she said, out of her concern for the dissension among women in the feminist movement. She wanted to call attention to the need "to respect each other's choices, the lifestyles we choose to pursue." She herself pursues many lives. A wife, mother and homemaker in Champaign - Urbana, she is well - known in the area as an actress, playwright and director. She is also a brown belt martial artist, jazz trumpeter and pianist, com- poser and part - time bartender. She would seem eminently qualified to portray nine women on the stage.

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. Page 6 The Profile January 26, 1981 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. ROBERT CAHN, Pulitzer Prize- 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 of the Interdenominational Theological Center of Atlanta He recently addressed the Pales- tinian Council of Churches in Beirut, Lebanon. FREDERICK FERRE, philosopher, is the author of Shaping the Future: Resources for the Post-Modern World. A member of the Philosophy of the orange uniform who came to our door and "clearly" explained the situation to us, (in Italian) was not too pleased. 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.

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!

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 ruling, he wouldn't advise the teacher to disobey the rule, because he might lose his job. Prof. Gould entertained an im- pressive crowd with an interes- ting, well - organized speech that was sprinkled with amusing anecdotes. In the afternoon, he spoke to biology majors about "Recent Developments in Evolutionary Theory." should make an appointment with a member of the Department of Education no she'll play the violin.

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. Red Cross: Ready for a new century. A Public Service of This Newspaper & The Advertising Council SCOtt Violinist Con'tFromp.3 Issues And Answers Con't From n.2 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. On Wednesday, February 11th, the Students for Black Awareness of Agnes Scott will sponsor a campus - wide dis- cussion about some of the is- sues of concern to the campus community. I plan to be there and I hope, too, thatso will many other members of the Agnes Scott community. In the mean- time, I will just watch the fireworks that I am sure that I have ignited. Certainly, if this article goes undiscussed, un- commented upon - ignored even, then this campus is even more irresponsible than I thought. I await your response. Environmental Symposium con tFromp.e Page 8 The Profile January 26, 1981 s ports Dolphin Club Ready For Parent's Weekend The Dolphin Club will present its annual water show during the upcoming sophomore parents weekend. Calendar Girls will be the title of the year's show which will feature as- sorted numbers using themes from each month. The numbers are choreographed by Dolphin Club members and are enhanced by backdrops and the occasional use of a black light. All fifteen members will appear in at least one number, and a solo by Lydia Reasor and a duet by Anne Luke and Melanie Miller promise to be highlights of the show. Dolphin Club has members from each class, in- cluding six seniors appearing in their final sophomore parent's weekend show. Those seniors are Kim Lenoir, Lydia Reasor, Mary Ebinger, Lynn Stone Cypher, Kathleen McCunniff, and Barbara Patton. Other members are Sue Connor, Summer Smisson, Merry Winter, Anne Luke, Melanie Miller, Karla Sefcik, Diane Rickett, Rasa Wickrema, and Katherine Wilkes. Ms. Manuel offers invaluable assistance in her role as sponsor. Work was begun on the show before Christmas and is entering its final, frantic days. The show promises to be an exciting one and enjoy the product of the Dolphin Club's hard work.

Some Jockey Shorts Exercise Classes There will be exercise classes held every Tuesday and Thurs- day night at 6:00 p.m. in the gymnasium. Kim Lenoir will be leading the group on Tuesday and Lynn Stonecypher will lead the group on Thursday nights. These exercises will be floor and spot exercises and may include some running. If interested in being slim, come to the gym at 6:00 Tuesday or Thursday. Class Competition There will be a milage sheet and route maps in the gym on the bulletin board. The milage sheets will be divided by class. Each individual who runs inside the gym or outside will record her milage along with the rest of her class. There will be trophies for the class with the highest milage. Swim Meet February 1 1 th there will be a swim meet between classes. Each class must have at least six or more swimmers. The singles competition will include the breast stroke, the back stroke, the butterfly, freestyle, and in- dividual medley. There will also be class relays and a comic relay. The winning class will receive a trophy. Circuit Training A circuit training program has been set up in the gymnasium. This exercise program is a great way to stay in shape during the winter months. This exercise circuit consists of eight or ten exercise students around the gym. The great thing about circuit training is it is for everyone - those getting in shape or those who wish to stay in shape. Those already in shape may repeat the circuit of in- crease the repetitions of each exercise at each individual station. Ice Skating Party An ice skating party will be held February 27th. The party will be held at the Omni and transportation will be provided Sign up sheets are available in the gym. The group will meet in the gym to leave at 7:00 p.m. Diet Table There is a diet table reserved in the cafeteria for all those avid dieters who wish to sit together.

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. Theatre Deportment Sponsors Trip by Kim Kennedy If Broadway, Greenwich Village, museums, discos and nightclubs sound appealing then the Theater Department trip to New York is for you I Early Friday, March 20, students from ASC will board the Piedmont Airlines Hopscotch flight for New York, During the five day trip students will have the opportunity to see four Broadway plays, those under consideration include "Children of a Lesser God," "Barnum," "Brigadoon," "Fifth of July," and "Pirates of Penzance" starring Rex Smith and Linda Ronstadt. They will attend two seminars conducted by people involved in stage production and actors, such as Julie Harris, Jason Robards, and Michael Bennett. The trip is sponsored by "Backstage on Broadway ", a professional organization whose sole objective is planning trips to such places as New York and England.

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 Restaurants - up to $6 - no alcohol Movies - all up to $6 Concerts, Plays, Clubs - all up to $6 - if over $1 2 - 3 A ticket price. We will not in the future be reimbursing for records 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 review appears in The Profile. Written requests for reim- bursement should be placed in business manager's mail box. Tickets and receipts should be submitted also - these will be returned upon request with reimbursement. 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.

For example, as her gift to the people she works with in the Developmental Office she sang Christmas songs. Maribeth has an impressive list of accomplishments since her first performance at age six, including the singing of the National Anthem at an Atlanta Braves game, the taping of a television show for PBS, and the receipt of reputable awards and scholarships. But first a -look at what spawned the desire and interest of singing in a young girl Maribeth was six years old when The Sound of Music first came out, starring Julie An- drews, whose voice so inspired Maribeth that she and a friend decided to enter a talent show at school singing songs from that musical - and they won second by Colleen Flaxington Amy Craddock is a junior with a few responsibilities which are unknown to most of the rest of us. She, along with freshman Cindy Stewart, is among the first Agnes Scott students to attend Scott on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. This will pay her tuition at Scott where she is ma- joring in Physics/Astronomy, and for two years at Georgia Tech, where she will complete a placel At age nine she performed her first big solo at Midnight Mass. Her mother recognized the difference in her voice, but did not give her voice lessons, believing it harmful to train a voice while it is still maturing with the rest of the body. It was in high school that 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.

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.

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 Profile, the first sentence of the 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".

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. Leslie Dillard Elizabeth Dorsey Julie Ellington 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, Melanie Merrifield 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- The Students for Black Awareness at Agnes Scott College will sponsor a campus- wide discussion of major issues of interest to the college com- munity on Wednesday, February 11, 1981 in McKinney date parlor, 8:1 5 p.m. The discussion is open to students, faculty, staff and administration of Agnes Scott College. 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 committee member who volunteers but never appears at the meetings; the section editor who skips town the weekend of her big deadline; the athlete or Harvard by Burlette Carter Harvard University Professor Richard C. Marius, a scholar of Renaissance and Reformation history, delivered a lecture on Sir Thomas More in Maclean Auditorium, Wednesday, January 21 . The event was one in a series of lectures in the 1980-81 Agnes Scott Renais- sance Festival. Speaking to an audience of about one hundred fifty persons, Professor Marius compared the Topics for discussion will be determined by suggestions offered by interested persons.

Furthermore, in rationalizing that their unreliability only hurts themselves, they ignore quite happily those colleagues who must shoulder the neglected duties. ideals of the Renaissance with those of the present, noting that Renaissance men felt one should study Classical literature for practical purposes. Said the Professor, 'The Renaissance men truly believedthatthe study of Classical literature was the way to reform society." Com- paring this idea to the present- day liberal arts thinking he said, "We often get nervous when practicality is forced on our education." The Professor expressed this evolution from Renaissance thinking to the specific issues are also welcomed. The campus-wide discussion is the first ever sponsored by the organization.

It should also be the time for an evaluation of motives and activities. Are you involved because you think everyone else is? Do you volunteer your services solely to have someth- ing to write under that omnious "extra-curricular activities" column on a resume or grad school application? Are you competing for the Miss In- volvement Award? Or, are you simply a compulsive megalomaniac (like us)? present liberal arts education 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 In assessing your role on cam- pus next year, consider in- volvement only on those boards to which you can devote genuine interest and worthwhile time. An before accepting accolades this spring, re-evaluate your level of dependability in this year's activities within the ivory tower. It is likely to be an ade- quate representation of your responsibility out there in the real world. Susan Nicol and Martha Sheppard Lecture 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.

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, Darby Bryan ThQtr Trip Continued from page 1 there will be four girls to a room. Also, there will be a good orien- tation to the city upon their arrival.

The remainder of the time the girls will have a chance to shop Fifth Avenue, visit discos, ortour Lincoln Center, Art Galleries, or Greenwich Village. Also, no class credit will be given, justthe opportunity for fun and excitement. Costs for the entire trip will be $255 which will include hotel and entertainment fees.

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.

Mr. Thompson has written such, 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. Biology Department Offers Summer Course Agnes Scott Trustee Honored at Awards Banquet by Ann Connor Agnes ' Scott trustee, L. L. Gellerstedt, Jr., was recently honored with 5 other prominent Georgians by community leaders and educators at the Higher Education Awards Ban- quet. The banquet was held at the Atlanta Marriott on Monday evening, Feb. 2. Mr. Gellerstedt serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the college. He is an active alumnus of the Georgia Institute of Technology, has been president of the National Georgia Tech Alumni As- sociation, and president of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia Tech Foundation. He is also a trustee of Atlanta University. He has served as president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, of the United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta, as director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Atlanta Arts Alliance. Gellerstedt Jr by Kim Kennedy The chance for extended travel along the coasts of Georgia and Florida, the op- portunity for field studies in marine research at places such as Skidaway Lab in Savannah and the Smithsonian Institute in Fort Pierce, and five hours credit are all available in one four- week course planned by the Biology Department under the instruction of Prof. John Pilger. The course is scheduled from June 8 to July 5, 1981. It is designed for the examination of marine organisms and en- vironments at selected sights on the coasts of Georgia and Florida. Alternating with the field studies are visits to other facilities currently engaged in marine research at places in- cluding St. Augustine, Titus- ville/JFK Space Center, Miami, Everglades, Sanibel Island, Sarasota, and Tampa. In ad- dition, lectures by Mr. Pilger will be supplemented by presen- tations from experts in specific areas of marine biology in- cluding sea turtles, marine biomedical research, and the pollution of the marine en- vironment. This course is limited to only eight students with the prere- quisites of Biology 1 02 and 1 05. The price of the course is $1 1 50, which includes all meals, lodging, transportation and ad- mission fees. Reservations will be made on a first come-first served basis with preference given to rising seniors and juniors. A $150 deposit is now being accepted. For more in- formation contact Mr. Pilger in the Biology Department. Page 2 The Profile February 9, 1981 editorials 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 Burlette Carter Gtye f raffle Agnes &catt (Ealkge - Secatur, (Senrgia THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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).

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 Burlette Carter. 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 - Laura February 9, 1981 The Profile Page 3 features 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.

With the defendant not going to trial, with the case not being heard in public, the entire concept of due process is seriously threatened. A trial by one's peers is an exception rather than the rule, the result of hopelessly overloaded court schedules. Narrated by Bill Moyers, the film spotlights three cases of plea-bargaining in Dade County, Florida - one of the nation's highest crime-rated areas.

Continued on page 3 NORTH BY NORTHWEST February 1 0, 7 & 9 p.m. Buttrick Film Room Competition February 9, 1981 The Profile Page 5 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 prayer and celebration and each team will leave to rent a home and open a Justice House in each of 10 major border com- munities where they will organize programs of outreach to children who patiently waitfor some sign of hope. Interested persons need to write to Los Ninos, 930 E. Gutierrez St., Santa Barbara, California, 93103, telling how they fulfill the criteria for participation. They will receive additional information and participate in a screening process that may lead to an interview near their own com- munities in December or January. Information is also available in the campus placement office.

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.

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. Page 6 The Profile February 9, 1981 s porte 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. Kim Lenoir 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.

Agnes Scott, founded in 1889, has also celebrated it? 92nd year with the Third Atlanta En- vironmental Symposium in January and the year long English Rennaissance Festival. The Festival is bringing to Atlanta distinguished artists in- cluding the Guarneri String Quartet, the New York Baroque Dance Company and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. 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. Page 2 The Profile February 16, 1981 editorials 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.

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. $ Financial Aid $ All students who plan to apply for financial aid for 1981-82 should note these deadlines: February 15, 1981 - Deadline for filing Financial Aid Form & Supplement in time to receive aid decision before April 1st room - retaining deposit of $100 is due. March 15, 1981 - Deadline for filing FAF and FAF Supplement to avoid a $200 penalty in finan- cial aid package. May 15, 1981 - Deadline for Georgia residents to file Student Incentive Grant application in Financial aid Office. Even if you are only applying forthe Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant, bring your application to the F.A.O. as soon as possible. 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. Laurie McBrayer 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.

Baroque Dance Company and Concert Royal to Perform The New York Baroque Dance Company and the Concert Royal, long in the forefront of the Bar- oque revival in the United will present a concert of 17th and 18th - century dance and music Thursday, Feb. 19. This single Georgia performance will begin at 8:15 p.m. in Pressor Hall. All tickets will be for general seating only, and all tickets will be puton sale only on the night of the performance at the door, first come, first served. Admission will be $3.00. The New York Baroque Dancers perform in period cos- tumes of the French Court and the Concert Royal plays authen- tic period instruments. Ac- companied bythe Concert Royal, the dancers will perform their reconstructions of Baroque choreography to the music of Jean - Philippe Rameau, Marin Marais, Jean Baptiste Lullyand Francois Couperin.

The Concert Royal was founded in 1974 with the purpose of combining the greatest possible historical ac- curacy with the highest sten- dards of modern music-making. The New York Times and The New Yorker's critics have praised the ensemble for ac- complishing its purpose. Agnes Scott is sponsoring the New York Baroque Dance Com- pany and Concert Royal as part of the college's yearlong English Renaissance Festival. The Renaissance Festival is being held in conjunction with the Folger Library exhibition "Shakespeare: The Globe and The World" on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. 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. Playwright Jim Marvin stresses the psychological contradictions inherent in us all.

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.

February 2. 1981 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 Taken from Time, Feb. 9, 1 981 .

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! High School Actors Arrive Thursday Do you get stage fright when you're forced to present a paper to your psychology class?

Help them feel welcome when they arrive on campus this Thursday! 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.

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. More Jockey Shorts 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. &o Tfei Chi Kungfu Assoc Self d s c i p i i n e im- proved concentration, self : Jki^ -defense, phys Jjt fitness & confidence Join US' CALL 231 0706 3J84 Peacntree Rfl .

There will also be a comic relay during the meet. The 12-Minute Run For those who are not really sure what kind of shape they are in or what kind of shape they should be in they can determine this by the 12-minute run posted in the gymnasium. Run as many laps around the basketball court (black lines on our floor) as pos- sible in a 12-minute period. Try to maintain a steady pace and in- crease the speed during the latter part of the run. Check mileage on the chart provided. Very poor - less than 1 .01 miles Poor - 1 .02 - 1 .19 miles Average - 1 .20 - 1 .27 miles Good - 1 .28 - 1 .42 miles Excellent- morethan 1 .34miles Double up, America. If you drive to work by yourself, you're spending twice as much money on commuting as you should. That's too much. Cut it in half. Take a friend. Two can ride cheaper than one.

Laurie McBrayer 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! An Optimist The Prez Sez As everyone is aware (especially senior officers and one junior editor), elections are not far away!

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. kie gets her kicks slashing ran- domly chosen throats with a razor blade held in her teeth. Inc 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. The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, erected in 1932, was a gift to the American people from Henry Clay Folger and Emily Jordan Folger. It has become one of the world's great repositories of Shakespeare material and a focal point of English Renais- sance research. Currently the Restaurant Review by Sallie Rowe 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. the Spinach quiche - a delightful mean for a mere $4. The soup by itself - still filling - is only $2. Appetizer specialties include fried mushrooms and nachos. Service is very good. Although we had to wait 20 minutes for a table, our food was brought in about 10 minutes. And that was on a Saturday night! Ruby Tues- day's is open 1 1 a.m. - 1 1 p.m. Mon. - Thurs., 11-12 Fri. and Sat., 11-10 Sun, with Happy Hou r 4:30 - 6:30 every day and 1 - close Sun. - Thurs. and 11 - close Fri. and Sat. A Waste Of Paul Newman Ruby Tuesday's Epicurean's Delight The Corner Wine Bar THE CORNER WINE BAR - 1040 N. Highland Avenue (atthe intersection of Virginia and High Land) 874-3082. Mon. - Thurs. 11:30- 11:30 Friday 1 1 :30 am - 1 am, Satufday 1 pm - 1 am. 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. Page 4 The Profile February 23, 1981 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, tears, frustration and laughter, as the Blackfriars stage the children's play, "Step on a Crack," by Susan Zeder. Performances are Feb. 28 and March 1 at 2 p.m. and March 2 and 3 at 9:30 and 1 1 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. All performances are in the Winter Theatre of the Dana Fine Arts Building. Ad- mission is $1 .00. Ticket reservations may be made at 377-1200. The play features Ellie, a delightful, funny child, who puts her imagination to work in order to adjust to I ife with a new step- mother. With herfantasy friends La na and Fr izbee , E 1 1 ie California at Berkeley and retu med to New York to pe rfo rm in off - Broadway showcases un- til he landed the role of Joey, one of John Travolta's buddies in Saturday Night Fever. His film debut led to a role in Voiceswith Amy Irving. He recently starred in an episode of Trapper John, M D 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. Kite Day At Stone Mountain Even a novice kite - flyer could win the 1 1 th Annual Kite - Flying Endurance Contest atop Stone Mountain, 16 miles east of Atlanta. A kite, the right sup- plies, and a lot of perseverance are all that's needed. Contest day is March 21. Teams of 2-4 members, 18 years of age or older, may compete for cash prizes and a team trophy. The kite that stays aloft the longest wins. Kites cannot weigh more than five pounds and string cannot contain any metal parts.

In order to be properly prepared for the duration, contestants usually bring food and beverages, radios, warm clothes, family and friends. Those who plan to challenge the 24 hour record should bring a sleeping bag. Homemade or store - bought, sophisticated or simple, any kite can win. The winning entry in 1976 was a kite ordered from a niblet corn can label. For more information or to pre - register, call 404 - 469-9831 , ext. 244. Children Invited to Step on a Crack ftp i 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 February 23, 1981 The Profile Page 6 features 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.' by Laurie McBrayer 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 and will feature the Madrigal Singers, Studio Dance Theatre, and the Blackfriars. Upcoming Renaissance Programs, include: "Music of the Spheres," presented by Professors Ronald Byrnside and Robert Hyde, April 3 at 8 p.m. in the Bradley Observatory; "Concerto Concert," presented by the Agnes Scott Baroque Ensemble and Chamber Orches- tra, April 13 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser; 'The Faces of Falstaff," lecture by Prof. Nancy Leslie of Mercer April 23 at 4 p.m. in the Buttnck Film room; "Chaucer's Criseide and Shakespeare's Cressida," lecture by Prof. E. Talbot Donaldson April 27 at 8:15 p.m. in the Buttrick Film Room, and "Michaelangelo and Continued on p. 6 1 Shakespeare Events In conjunction with Shakespeare: The Globe & The World, the Museum plans a full schedule of events: lectures, films, concerts, etc. In addition, other area institutions - universities, Atlanta Public Library, and theatres - will offer related events during the exhibition period.

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. Page 6 The Profile February 23, 1981 s ports 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.

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." Constance Shaw 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 Continued on page 5 Page 2 The Profile March 2, 1981 editorials 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 68 Mitchess Street, SW Atlanta, GA 30335 Those wish ing to donate to the Special Task Force may send a check payable to the A.

Both the families and the Task Force would certainly appreciate any donation despite the size. Thank you. Ellen Anderson Burlette Carter Peggy Davis Gail Ray 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 Are you bogged down with papers that need to be typed? Oh, you don 't have a typewriter? Well, wander on over to the library and feast your eyes upon the new electric Smith - Corona typewriter that Rep Council purchased. The typewriter has a film cartridge and a rerite film cartridge. Beloware the rules for typewriter use: 1 . Typewriter may be checked out only to Agnes Scott students. 2. Typewriter can be checked out any time Library is open and is due back at 2 p.m. the next day. 3. Fee for use is 25C, payable at time of checking out. A deposit of $2.00 is also required at time of check - out. Deposit will be refunded when typewriter is returned and is in good con- dition. 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 4.

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.

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.

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. HEADWAY MASTER HAIRCUTTERS 2062 NORTH DECATUR ROAD (Next to Papa Leoni s Restaurant) 634-3476 Page 4 The Profile March 2, 1981 features 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. March 2, 1981 The Profile Page 5 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 The Agnes Scott College As- tronomy Series will feature the lecture, "Companions of the Sun," and the planetarium show, "Meet Taurus, the Bull," Friday, March 6, at Bradley 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. Bradley Observatory is located 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. CAUTION Women Tampons must be changed frequently.

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. Tennis Tips from Billie Jean From: June Issue of "Tennis" June issue of Tennis, "Billie 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 9 v Tai Chi Kungfu Assoc. Self discipline, improved concentration, self defense, physical/mental fitness & confidence. Join usl Call: 231 -0706 3384 Peachtree Rd . N.E 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. Mt frank Vol 30933. 15 .Agncfi i>cott College - lecatur, da.. Marcij 30, 1981 Election Issue 1981 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. Continued on page 2 Page 2 The Profile March 30, 1981 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. 2. Are there any specific problems that you foresee with our interdorm system? Continued on page 3 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. March 30, 1981 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. Kathy Fulton: NO REPLY 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 The Profile neecfany further stealing of food from the refrigerators I - and very importantly, the Councils should appear as friendly individuals whom students can easily ap- proach with problems or ques- tions. Hopefully, offenses will decrease with a greater student understanding of rules. 3. What are your qualifications for this position? I served on Inman Dorm Coun- cil for two years, and as a Anita Barbe: 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- side of cabinet - I feel that all students interesting in knowing more about God, the Bible and churches should feel free to join us in a 1 1 activities and fellowship times. Though the girls on the cabinet grow close through working and praying together - 1 don't want others who want to be a part of what we are doing to Lisa Edenfield: 1. What do you see is the purpose of BSA? BSAactsas an advisory and co - ordinating board for the student boards, publications, and classes. During winter 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. BSA decides upon all alcoholic Socio 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- Page 3 and dedication goes into any worthwhile project, and I am ready to put forth that effort in order to maintain an excellent interdorm system. Sally Manning: NO REPLY 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 discipleship. But, these things are already beginning to bud and if lean continue where Marie left off, perhaps these things will grow to fruition. they have problems. The self - evaluations are kept on file in the BSA office, and the officers should feel free to look at these records to see if problems that they are experiencing have been brought up before, and if so, what suggestions were made to solve them. 3. What are your qualifications for this position? Since last spring I have served as secretary - treasurer of BSA. I would like to continue on as Chairman because I feel that BSA has an important role to play on this cmapus. ning social activities within a realtively fixed budget. I am an Economics major and am very managementoriented. Forthese reasons, I feel that I have the ability to lead the council in mak- ing major decisions in an ef- ficient and realistic manner. 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 social council with the aid of an open ear to criticisms and the Continued on page 4 BSA Chairman CA Chairman I Council Pres. Page 4 The Profile March 30, 1981 Social Council events will necessitate a duo - responsibility between the students and the council in terms of support and co - operation. In light of these comments, it is my hope that I can obtain your vote so that we may growtogether with the best interest of the college in mind. Continued from page 3 coordination of suggestions. I 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 Glover: NO REPLY Joan AAackey: NO REPLY 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. The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 66, No. 16 Agnes Scott College - Decatur , Ga. April 13, 1981 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?" Other new officers include: Kathy Fulton - AA Vice- President; Leanne Ade - Interdorm Chairman; Missy Carpenter - Interdorm Vice- Chairman; Sallie Rowe Interdorm itory Council Secretary; Sue Conner - CA Vice-President; Margaret Kelly - CA Secretary; Susan Whitten - CA Treasurer; Lisa Edenfield - BSA Chairman; Kitty Cralle - Social Council President; Beth Daniel - Social Council Vice - President; Robin McCain - Social Council Secretary; Penny Baynes - Social Council Treasurer; Katie Lewis - Honor Court Vice-Chairman; Scottie Echols - Honor Court Secretary/Treasurer; Susan Meade - Arts Council Chairman; Cindy Hite - Arts Council Secretary; Katie Blanton - Arts Council Treasurer; Bonnie Etheridge - Orientation Council Chairman; Amy Potts - AA Secreta ry -Treasurer; Nancy Undercover Letter from the Editor p. 2 Current Events p. 3 Externships discussed p. 4 Financial Aid News p. 5 Guameri reviewed p. 6 Faculty exhibits art p. 7 Mid-season tennis wrap-up p. 8 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.

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 Presser Hall. The program will include Mozart's "Piano Concerto, K. 459," his "Violin Concerto, K. 218," Vivaldi's cantata "In Turbato Mare lrato"and Haydn's "String Quartet, Opus 20, No. 1." Three Agnes Scott students who have been recorded for broadcasting by Georgia Public 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 play the violin concerto. Both will be accompanied by the Agnes Scott Chamber Orches- tra. The Vivaldi cantata will be sung by Maribeth Kouts, a senior trom Decatur who nas been a DeKalb Young Artist. She will be accompan ied by strings and con - tinuo. ine Haydn quartet will be performed by Agnes Scott String Quartet members Mary Lee Taylor, violin; Alice Levine, violin; Holly Good, viola and Rod Bangston, cello. Ms. Levine is assistant professor of the clas- sical languages and literatures department, and Holly is a freshman from Dunwoody. Page 2 The Agnes Scott Profile April 13, 1981 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 .

Gray Hatters 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. April 13, 1981 Choral Groups Perform The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 The Agnes Scott College Glee Club, along with the Madrigal Singers, the Opera Workshop and the London Fog, saluted J.S. Bach and Burt Bacharach in a concert of German and American music Thursday, April 9 The Glee Club, under the baton of music professor Theodore K. Mathews, performed Bacharach tunes such as 'This Girl's in Love with You" and sacred, secular and secularized works by Bach in- cluding selections from "Magnificat." The group also sang two works that won awards in the firsttwo Agnes Scott Com- position Contests of 1976 and 1978. The Madrigal Singer, directed by Agnes Scott student Mary Jane Golding of Decatur, performed more music by Bacharach, and the London Fog, a jazz vocal ensemble, sang popular songs by American com- posers. Departing from the primary theme of the concert, the Opera Workshop, directed by voice instructor Jean Lemonds, presented a duet from the opera "Lakme" and an aria from "Madame Butterfly." The vocalists, all from Decatur, were Beth McCool, Sharon Wallace and Maribeth Kouts. Music Of The Spheres" Program Presented The English Renaissance Fes- tival of Agnes Scott College presented the astronomy and music program "Music of the Spheres" Friday, April 3, at 8:1 5 p.m. in Bradley Observatory. The public was invited free of charge. Professors Ronald Byrnside of the music department and Robert Hyde of the physics and astronomy department used as- tronomy slides and recorded music to present their joint lec- ture on the historical association of music and astronomy. The 30- inch telescope in Bradley Observatory was used for observations. A reception and music concluded the program. The Agnes Scott English Renaissance Festival is a yearlong series of events spon- sored by the college in con- junction with the Folger Library exhibition "Shakespeare: The Globe and The World," which is on display at the High Museum of Art. Honor Society Seeks Collegiates The Scholastic All-American Selection Committee is now accepting applications for the 1981 Spring Semester. Students who are active in scholastic organizations and who perform well in class are asked to join. The Scholastic All-American is an honor society founded to recognize this country's top undergraduate and graduate students. Students are selected from over 1 ,280 schools cover- ing all 50 states. Members participate in various nationally organized service projects each year. Students are selected for con- sideration based on the extent of their academic and scholastic performance both in and out of the classroom. No one factor is weighed heaviest when a new member is considered. A student's best asset must be his or hers "well roundedness." Interested students are asked to send a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope to "Ap- plication," Scholastic All- American, Administrative Of- fices, P.O. Box 237, Clinton, New York 13323. All students are encouraged to submit an application regardless of their grade point average. 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 obtained by writing the Center for Career Development, Inc., 11383 Landan Lane, Ohio 45246.

Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile April 13, 1981 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 Agnes Scott as well. A journalism sponsor comments, "I know my colleagues here at the newspaper gained even more respect for Agnes Scott. " A law enforcement sponsor has reported to CPO, 'Thank you for the priviledge of participating in the College's efforts to broadly train the leaders of tomorrow." 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- ing, a varietv of academically related 'Toss Up" and "Bonus" questions. April 13, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 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?

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. Page 6 The Agnes Scott Profile April 13, 1981 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." ft TaLChi Kungfu Assoc.

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.

NATIONAL POETRY PRESS Box 218 Agoura, Ca. 91301 Page 8 The Agnes Scott Profile April 13, 1981 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. ASC vs GA. S.W. (8-1) WIN Note.

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.

'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."

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.

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.

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.

April 21 April 20, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 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 Seriously Folks . . . by Burlette Carter Ladies. Question: How many times have you gone out on the arm of a seemingly super guy only to find out later that night that he's a perfect jerk. How many of you swore afterthat last blind date that you'd take Hamlet's advice and become a nun? But, indeed, HERE is the profound and important ques- tion. How do you tell the jerks from the "knights in shining armor?" Certainly, except for those guys who are quite ob- viously "sick," most jerks look 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. Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile April 20, 1981 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. Ms. Shirley has been aoing her research at DeKalb Com- munity College She chose that particular campus so that she 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 could work with both men and women from various types of math backgrounds. The students she worked with took two tests. The first established their locus of control, which measures people's belief systems. If they are externally controlled, the are 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 how much to leave for a tip bother you, or does opening a statistics book make you nervous? Alumnae Plan Weekend by Burlette Carter 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 their families will attend lec- tures given by members of the ASC faculty. Dr. Mary Boney Sheats, Fuller E. Calloway Professor of Bible and Religion, will deliver a talk on "Biblical Af- firmations of Woman," while Dr. Ronald Byrnside, Charles A. 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 Guideposts magazine and a reception for alumnae, retired professors and the College com- munity. Art students and faculty will sell pottery, paintings and prints while the Dalton Galleries will feature the works of ASC faculty members. Also planned for Saturday is a "Husbands' Tennis Tournament." The Cam- pus Community is invited to watch as husbands pair off for the "Consort Cup." On Saturday evening graduates of 1931 or earl ier will gather for the annual 50 - year Club dinner. The dinner, which will be held in Rebekah Reception room will feature the College's earliest graduates. Director MacKenzie says she expects about two hun- dred alumnae to gather for this event. On the final day of Alumnae Weekend, the Library, the Dana Fine Arts Building and Buttrick Hall will be open for tours. Alum- nae will close out the weekend with worship services in MacLean Chapel. Dr. Wallace Alston, President Emeritus of the College, will officiate. SAFARI FASHIONS Camouflage bush pants, camouflage shorts, fatigues, khakis, seersucker skirts, safari shirts.

Ponce De Leon DECATUR 292-0781 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. Crime Prevention Tips Reported Crime Prevention Tips 1 . Lend the campus police your eyes and earsl Report any sus- picious activity or persons in or around your dorm to the police. 2. Lock your car when you park and never leave packages or valuables where theycan be seen. Lockthem in thetrunk. Make sure you remove the ignition key. Use concealed areas in station wagons. 3.

Surrendered valuables can be replaced - a life cannot Get a good description and call police immediately. 5 By no means should a student take any action on his own; he or she might get hurt or end up harassing an innocent person. April 20, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 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." from the Intercollegiate Press Bulletins 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, (from The Atlanta Constitution, April 13, 1981) 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. from the College Press Service Page 6 Renaissa Coordina Contributions of time and ef- fort by staff and students will make the Renaissance Fair a reality.

Six dollars is the special rate for the campus community and immediate guests, such as spouses and boyfriends. According to Mrs. Woods, everyone is a guest of the college at a subsidized rate. 'These are the lowest rates pos- sible for a whole evening of dinner and entertainment," she said. Donations given atthe fa ir will be given to battered women, the Junior Jaunt charity. Darling Plans Sabbatica Marilyn Darling, ASC physical education professor and director of the Agnes Scott College Studio Dance Theatre, will be on a sabbatical beginning fall 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 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. 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 has been dancing with the Chicago Contemporary Dance Theatre for the past three years. Metropolitan Opera will be in Atlanta the last week in April. James Morris has the title role of Mozart's "Don Giovanni.'' 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.

Page 7 The Agnes Scott Profile April 20, 1981 Spoleto Fest Offers Wealth of Music Charleston, S.C. - Two internationally renowned con- ductors, Michael Tilson Thomas and Myung-Whun Chung will conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the May 22- June 7, 1981 Spoleto Festival U.S.A. The Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform two separate concerts on May 23 and 24. Maestro Thomas will conduct the performance on May 23 featuring Glinka's Overture to Russalan and Lud- milla, Stravinsky's Petrouchka, and Beethoven's Symphony #7. The second program on May 24 conducted by Maestro Chung, will feature Berlioz' Overture to Benvenuto Cellini, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, and Rachmaninoff's Symphony #1 . Miss Kyung-Wha Chung will perform the violin solo with the orchestra on the May 24 program. At the age of 36, Michael Tilson Thomas is already a con- ductor of international reputation. Thomas was named Assistant Conductor of the Bos- ton Symphony in 1 969. The Buf- falo Philharmonic Orchestra ap- Josephine 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 Tickets Still Available for Most Spoleto Events Kearney announced that tickets are still available for most Spoleto Festival U.S.A. events.

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."

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 The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 66, No. 18 Agnes Scott College - Decatur . Ga.

Marjorie Sivewright, new Mortar Board President poses with Susan Barnes, 1980-81 President, who tapped Marjorie in thfj ceremony, photo courtesy Andrea Helms 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 Henry V, Shakespeare likens Doll Tearsheet, a disreputable mistress of S ir John Falstaff 's, to Cressida when hedescribes Doll as a "lazar kite of Cressid's kind." Professor Donaldson has served as first president of the New Chaucer Society. A Guggenheim fellow, he edited "Chaucer's Poetry: Anthology for the Modern Reader" and wrote "Piers Plowman: The C- Text and Its Poets." He con- tributed to the "Norton An- thology of English Literature."

Student performers will in- clude Carla Eidson, Laurie MacLeod and Malinda Spratt of Decatur, Miriam Garrett and Beth Shackleford of Atlanta, Leslie Lyons of Avondale Estates and Terri Wong of Dunwoody. 1/iVBER COVER: ASC Attacked p.3 Academic Probation Discussed p.4 Poet Interviewed p.5 Mondale's Emory Speech p. 7 Page 2 The Agnes Scott Profile April 27, 1981 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.

All copy os subject to normal editing 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.

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 Steve Trani 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. Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile April 27, 1981 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 April 27, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 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." TUTOR Improve your writing skills, grades, and even career. Writ- ing tutor, excellent creden- tials. Wayne - 378-0999, evenings.

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.

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. Youth Symphony Gives Concert April 28, 1981, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. - The end of the school yea r brings the last in the regular series of FREE CONCERTS by the DeKalb Youth Symphony Orchestra which will be at the First Baptist Church of Decatur, 316 Clairmont Rd., Decatur, Ga. Jay Dean, Con- ductor and Music Director has invited the nationally famous Dr. Joe Barry Mullins to be the guest 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. Need Financial Aid? Need financial aid 81-82?

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. Aot vs. ugietnorpe WIN 6-3 S. Feese vs 0. Osen 6-3, 6-4 WIN N. Griffith vs L. Rangazas 7-6, 6-0 WIN K.

The Agnes Scott Profile m Vol. 66, No. 19 Agnes Scott College - Decatur . Ca. May 4, 1981 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 mam, M JK^ Bt m t^ ^ 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.

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.

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." Archaeostronomy Founder To Give Lecture Friday Mary Ann Cawt is the 1981 Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar. Scholar To Speak Page 2 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 The Agnes Scott Profile THE PROFILE is published weekly throughout the college year by students of Agnes Scott College.

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 the first week of fa II quarter, vote Continued on page 4 May 4, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 back feedback feedback feedback feedback feed 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. Kelley Vaughn 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 Jane Zanca Box 2612 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 on page 4 Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile May 4, 1981 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, Kelly Ann Coble English/Creative Writing Major Agnes Scott, '81 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! Maggie Taylor 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."

X ^ 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 /Continued from page 2 on its own individual parietal hours. Many colleges adopt this policy.

J May 4, 1981 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 ientrant and what types of media are showcased." Entries are being accepted at Agnes Scott College this month and interested students should contact Linda Hilsenrad, Festival Coordinator, Agnes Scott College, East College Avenue, Decatur, Georgia, 30030, 404- 373-2571 . Co-sponsors of the event in- clude the Georgia Library Media Division of the Georgia As- sociation of Educators, Mercer University in Atlanta, Clayton Junior College, Southco Graphic Systems in Atlanta, and Audio- Visual Communicators in Tucker. 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. from the National On-Campus report The London Fog members are (left to right in the photo) Melanie Roberts, Beth McCool, Peggy Davis, Susan Nicol, Mary Jane Golding, Sue Feese, Tracy Wannamaker, G ina Phillips, and Becky Lowrey.

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.

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- Cotton Casuals 1561 N.

She said that 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.

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." Answer to lasl week's puzzle.

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 outstanding philosophy depa rtment May 4, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 9 "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 the choice is between a low - paying campus job busing dishes or possibly working as a professional aid for a company or individual in your major field, jump in now and get the position that will g ive you experience and manner was a somewhat 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 Given help your resume," says the director. The scholarship bank offers students an opportunity to learn about the private, off - campus aid sources for which they are eligible. It has been in operation over one year and has processed over 1 0,000 student requests for scholrship and work study in- formation. According to the director, each student receives up to 50 different sources, some basedon need,someon merit, or on other factors such as geographical desires. Students interested in using this service should send a stamped, self ad- dressed envelope to: The Scholarship Bank, 101 . 0 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 750, Los Angeles, Ca. 90067 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 conversation wasabouteveryth- ing but her work, (her paper i # * TairChi Kungfu Assoc.

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 loved and respected by his Novel-Tees students, and worthy of their esteem. Ms. Hart's talk was very interesting, and everyone who attended will assuredly read Lewis' works with renewed ap- preciation.

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." re 3mritei> A "Happy Birthday To Me" Party P.J.

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.

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." Liberal Arts Grads Advance Dalton, Ga.

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. from the College Press Service / " Whoops ! fApologiesgo to Susan Mead who is the new Vice- President of Mortar Board.

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.

The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 66, No. 20 Agnes Scott College - Decatur , Ga. MayTTTTWT 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 evening, May 5, she gave a lec- ture at Agnes Scott on Modern Continued on page 7 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.

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.

All copy os subject to normal editing The Agnes Scott Profit May 11. 1981 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. 9 'w [ I 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" Valerie Hepburn May 11. 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile "TUITIOH TaX CREDITS? NOW-TWJ WOXD [ EDUCaTIOK k3 KK07J it '.: 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. Anita Barbee C. A. President Page 3 Behind Door Four cont. from p. 2 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.

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." Rubik's Cube Club Forms A Rubik's Cube Club has sprung up at Stanford U., where 11 students devote time to help- ing each othersuccessfully com plete the cube game. Rubik's Cube consists of 26 subcubes, which, after being mixed up, must be rearranged to show only one color on each side of the large cubes. The need for club members' assistance is understanble: there are 43,252, 003,274, 489,856, OOOdifferent cube patterns possible. From the National On-Campus Report we're sharing The Burden.

'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 May 11, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 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 "Sorry, but a mantra isn't sufficient collateral/' 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.

Sophomore Pam DeRuiter will spend her Junior year abroad in France. She will attend the University of Paris in the program which is sponsored by Sweet Briar College. 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 Restoration Fund.

Page 6 A Review: Dancers Entertain The Agnes Scott Profile May 11, 1981 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 Arts in South DeKalb, a facility of the DeKalb County Recreation, Parks, and Cultural at the Columbus Museum of Affairs Department, is located at Arts and Sciences in Columbus, #80 South DeKalb Mall on Can- Georaia. dler. Antony and Cleopatra" Performed On Grand Scale At Alliance Theatre Cotton Casuals 1561 N Deratur Rd In Emory Village 377-1247 A FULL ARRAY OF COTTON CASUALS FOR MEN 1 WOMEN Lowest Prices In The Area' i NEW l\ EMORY HOURS Mon Sat 11 AM 6 PM by B. J. Lloyd 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.

May 11, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 7 Prof. Donaldson Discusses English Literature 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.'' Student Art Work 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 Looking Bock by B. J. Lloyd 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 Phi Beta Kappa poetry, particularly that of South 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. At the Phi Beta Kappa con- vocation Mrs. Caws delivered a Displayed The Agnes Scott College galleries will display drawings, paintings, photographs and pottery by art students in the graduating senior class May 10 through June 7.

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 cont. from p. 1 speech concerned with "keep- ing faith with ourselves." She advised the new members of Phi Beta Kappa as well as all her listeners to plan the future carefully and to be honest to themselves in their choices. "Your interior measure must be more important than the measure that other people can apply," she said. "You must be passionate about whatever you do." In in Dana be on display include Margaret Conyers of Austell, Hannah Grif- fith, Prise il la Kiefer and Laura Raines of Atlanta, Connie Haralson of Lithonia, Maureen Lach of Roswell and Betsy Wech of Stone Mountain. Gallery hours in the Dana Fine Arts Building are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m. the 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! On MAY 11, 1928 Station WGY, Schenectady, NY, began the first regularly scheduled television programs, offering three telecasts a week. MAY 1 2, 1 820 was the birth- day of Florence Nightingale, the famous English nurse who was responsible for medical services for the wounded in the Cremean War. Also on this date but in the year 1949, the Soviets ended their 328 day occupation of Berlin. MAY 13, 1607 marks the beginning of Jamestown as the first colonists to establish a While most fabliaus are most enthusiastically anti-feminist, Chaucer's women are both sexually enthusiastic and less aggressive than normal. Professor Donaldson dis- cussed a number of the fabliaus from the Canterbury Tales beginning with the Miller's Tale. It is "the perfect archetype of the genre" and the parts of the tale are "like pieces in a wonderfully witty jigsaw puzzle." "In a fabliau the expected always happens, along with the unexpected." 'The grace with which these disgraceful goings on is carried out is amazing," permanent English settlement in the New World landed near the James River in VA and built their fortress. MAY 1 4, 1 904 was the day of the opening of the first Olympic Games held in America. They took place in St. Louis, Missouri. On this same date in 1942, Congress established the WAAC's, the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps. On MAY 15, 1765 Parliament mandated that American colonists provide supplies and housing for the British troops stationed there. remarked Professor Donaldson. On the other hand, the Reeve's Tale is a fabliau of vengence and doesn't allow for the marvelous expansiveness of the Miller's Tale. The Sum- moner's Tale converts the fabliau to satire which Chaucer enhances with the epilogue. The Shipman's Tale has a simple fabliau plot often thought to be a fabliau converted to a commen- tary on commercialization. The readers emotions in the Merchant's Tale are constantly being worked over. The Merchant's anti - feminist bitterness prevades this fabliau. sorts of information." Censorship at the college level instead usually comes in the form of banning certain speakers and lectures, and typically because they are "dis- tasteful," not "immoral," he suggests. He cites recent examples at Baylor University, where the ad- ministration forbade thecampus radio station to play "hard rock and heavy metal"music, and the U. S. Naval Academy, whose bookstore manager refused to carry a novel critical of academy lifp Even if smaller, private colleges were to ban certain books - and Reichman speculates that some of them probably do already - resistance is usually minimal because the students and administration hold common views aboutmoral and religious issues.

Ponce De Leon DECATUR 292-0781 Reach For The Stars Page 8 The Agnes Scott Profile May 11, 1981 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 Joggers can set their pace to stereo musie wtth Sony's new Walkman, m lightweight, por- table cassette playback unit with headphones weighing only 14 ounces. SOFTBALL NEEDS YOU 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. Jockey Shorts correction regarding tanning article: In discussing sun screens - those containing 5% PABA (not QABA) will screen out "the burning rays" which cause sun- burn, skin cancer, and aging. Five percent PABA does not screen out the "tanning rays" which darken the pigment in the skin producing a tan or freckles.

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. The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 66, No. 21 Agnes Scott College - Deeatur , Ga.

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. UNDER Honor System Parietal Metropolitan Child Murders Evaluated Revisions Opera Described COVER: p.2 Considered p.3 Reviewed p. 5 pp. 6 & 7 Page 2 1 The Agnes Scott Profile Gray Matters . 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 Continued on page 3 Anythmu wor avitifi is WW* leatind for Is this the new attitude at ASC? 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. Answer to last Puzzle: A B L E C A 0 S s c 0 R R E L A T R I.

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 to Newcastlel Mumble, grumble Linda (Carol Burnett) Woods May 18, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 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 .... Help Sell Agnes Scott had decisions made for me instead of having to make them. There, I would know my place for sure, and I wouldn't keep forgetting! But, instead, I chose to cultivate my mind - ah, women should never be allowed 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, Laurie McBrayer to choose! Woe is me! How soon we forget Eve! So you see, I've been bad. But that's what happens to people who go to four - year liberal arts colleges for women. It's the system, I say, the system! Gray Matters cont'd from p. 2 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.

Page 4 the Agnet Scott Profile May 18, 1981 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. CATHY'S HAIRWORKS "We're Master Haircutters, Trained in Unisex Styling" Shampoo Style Cut and Blow Dry $|()50 1447 Oxford Rd .

Irritated neighbors around the ISU campus can call the number, operated by the student government, to report a noisy party. Hot line volunteers then contact the party site to en- courage revelers to be more quiet. Only two noisy party calls reached police on a recent weekend. Dial-a-Verb Installed AGrammar Hotline atthe U. of Houston may be little used by students, but it's proved to be a popular public service since its inception in 1979. The English professors staffing the line answer some 25 calls a day, many from downtown businesses and university secretaries. The hotline (713 - 749-3074) isanswe red from 8to 5 weekdays. 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 Stanford Placement Service, while other fields with high acceptance rates were business, marketing and sales, paralegal and research. Student placement in education fell 1 2%. Drinking 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 religious ceremonies or in the home with parental consent. Say the students: Is a dorm room not a home? U. Va. Goes for Jelly Beans Reaganesque Jellybeans now adorn the tabletop at quarterly meetings of the U. of Virginia board of visitors.

Kent State Holds Beach Party An indoor beach party at- tracted 200 students at Kent State U. recently. By importing 1 0 tons of sand, a huge sunset - on - the - sea mural, fake palm trees and a wading pool stocked with goldfish, students brought the flavor of Florida to the first floor lounge of Dunbar Hall dormitory. Most of those atten- ding the party came dressed in swimsuits or shorts. 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 Street, N.E., 9-12 noon; Northlake Hilton Inn, 4156 LaVista Road, 7-10 p.m. (Con- tact: Kenneth Clark/Joseph Gilliland, NRC Region II, 101 Marietta Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, 404/242- 5503). Persons wishing to make an oral or written presentation or comments are -being asked to adivse one of the individuals listed above at least three days in advance of a specific meeting. The advisory should identify: (1) the participants; (2) the length of an oral presentation (not more than 15 minutes); (3) the organization represented, if nay; and (4) a daytime telephone number. Individuals not making an advance request may do so at the time of the meeting on a time - available basis. Copies of a background paper and related documents may be obtained through the individuals listed above. May 18, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 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. t6b\ ATLANTA, GEORGIA 790 Marietta St. / 872-9484 Happy Hour 2-9 p.m. Monday - Saturday Thursdays and Fridays Dan Hall's Roots of Rock Show (Including beach) Saturday - 9 p.m. 12 a.m. All Draft Beer You Can Drink.

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.

Ash about our one-way rates Page 6 The Agnes Scott Profile May 18, 1981 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 like she had "something im- portant to say." Jane has what by Elisabeth Smith she calls a "unique perspective" on the situation since she is the single parentof two children and "must bear the burden of her children's safety alone." Another reason for writing the article was because Jane felt she "had to answer ac- cusations maae Dy officials recently that some mothers had killed their children. "Mothers aren't homicidal towards their children," was Jane's reply. Although Jane has been writ- ing for a "long, long time, "this is the first article forwhich she has been paid. Because of that, Jane views the article as a "landmark." Jane would ultimately like to write biographies and historical novels and have them published. Jane is a fulltime RTC majoring in Art History and English Literature. 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 May 18, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 7 cont'd from p. 6 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. The above article was reprinted from the Delaware County Daily Times with permission of Jane Zanca. 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."

Mickis, What Happened When, 1966 essick: 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 V ^year " J The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 66, No. 22 Agnes Scott College Decatur , Ga. May 25, 1981 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.

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.

Page 2 The Agnes Scott Profile 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 Professors John Pilger, Paul May 25, 1981 Staff Deserves Credit 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. President Marvin B. Perry has agreed to pay the honoraria for Editor's Note: This is the last newspaper of the quarter. It is only four pages because the budget ran out.

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.

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. Marcia Whetsel *** The Athletic Association wishes to express thanks to all everyone who participated in the Faculty- Student softball game and attended the picnic last Wednes- day. ** 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. May 25, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 "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!

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 Ruth's (Ann Harris) ideas of marriage based on loyalty; her aunt Helen's (Lisa Willoughby) view of love as a homosexual; and her sister Andy's (Andrea Wofford) betrayal by sleeping with her fiance. Surrounding this group with a mixture of coarse laughter and good sense, is Dixie (Marietta Townsend)the "whore with a heart of gold" who wants to work at the wed- ding as a singer and gets swept into the cross-currents of An- nie's confusion.

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.

Jane Zanca, 296-4849, Box 612 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.

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.

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.
