The Agnes Scott Profile

Vol. 68, No. 1

Agnes Scott College Decatur . Ga. September 21, IflttF

President Marvin B. Perry, Jr. recently announced his decision to

retire in June of 1982.

Parietals Reviewed

Last spring, Rep Council
circulated two surveys in which
thf majority of students ex-
p ^d an interest in extending
parietal hours. The present
parietal policy (RC 172) states
that men are allowed in
students' rooms on Saturdays
and Sundays from 1 p.m. until 5
p.m.

According to our surveys,
students wanted to lengthen
Saturday and Sunday male-
visitation hours until 6 p.m. in
order to correspond with the
beginning of lobby hours. Also,
the survey results com-
municated a desire for Friday
evening (6-12 p.m.) parietals.

During the Rep Council
retreat this fall, the following
amendment to RC 172 was
written:

"Men will be allowed to visit a
student's room on Friday
evenings from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m.

and on Saturday and Sunday
afternoons from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
with the following stipulations:"
(see Handbook, pg. 21)

This amendment will be
posted for two weeks on the
Rep Bulletin board located in
the mailroom and will be voted
upon at the Rep Council
meeting on September 29 at
6:30 p.m. in Rebekah Rep
Room. Everyone is encouraged
to attend this meeting and voice
their opinion.

Any student who desires to
revoke or censure Rep Coun-
cil's decision has 72 hours to
petition. Then after one week,
the student body must meet and
vote on the issue. If Rep Council
passes the amendment and
there are no petitions, then the
amendment will go to the Ad-
ministrative Committee and
Board of Trustees tor final ap-
proval.

Music Series Offered

by Klmberly Kennedy

"An incredible opportunity at
such a low price," is how
Professor Ron Byrnside
described the three upcoming
musical events to be held at
Agnes Scott this year. The
series will open October24 with
the talent of pianist Tamas
Vasary, a man who has
appeared with major
symphonies in the U.S. and
Europe. All three performances
will be on Tuesday evenings
and will feature pianists.

As Professor Byrnside ex-
plained, these performances
are the first manifestations of
the money for promotion of the
musical arts given to Agnes
Scott by former student and
Trustee Mary Wallace Kirk. Her

hope was for students to oe
allowed the opportunities to
enjoy as well as learn about
good music on their own cam-
pus without having to pay
extraordinary prices. Her hope
has now become reality with
not only Tamas Vasary's
appearance, but also Abbey
Simon's on January 26 and
Lydia Artymiw's in March. The
Guarneri Quartet will join Ms.
Artymiw. "All three performers
are first class pianists with
international reputations," said
Mr. Byrnside "and we have the
opportunity to hear them for
about one-fifth of the actual
price." Students and faculty at
Agnes Scott are being given this
opportunity for only $12 for
Three separate performances.

Perry Announces
June Retirement

by Laurie McBrayer

President Marvin B. Perry
who has announced plans to
retire June 30, 1982, stresses
that he "doesn't intend to be a
lame duck president."

Achievements during Presi-
dent Perry's term include
maintenance of a balanced
budget, increased enrollment,
renovation of Buttrick, and
increased community contacts.
Dr. Perry said he hopes that
upon completion of the
Campbell Hall renovation, the
gym will be renovated and a
new student center con-
structed. He explained that he
would maintain an interest in
the growth of the college
despite his plans to leave. He is
leaving for health reasons.

Dr. Perry said he came to
Agnes Scott when offered the
job in 1973 because he had
"liked the idea of a new
challenge." He is the

former president of Goucher (a
woman's college in Maryland).
One way in which Dr. Perry has
demonstrated his interest in the
education of women is by giving
support to the "Women and
Mindpower" symposia; the first
seminars are scheduled for
September 29-30.

President Perry is the fourth
president of the College and
has served here eight years.
Unlike thefirst three presidents,
he is an educator and not a
Presbyterian minister. Mr. Alex
P. Gaines, is chairman of the
presidential search committee.
The Board of Trustees has
authorized representatives
from administrative, faculty,
student body, and alumnae to
participate on this committee,
which will make a recommen-
dation to the board. The Board
of Trustees will make the final
decision.

Much speculation has arisen
concerning the appointment of
a woman as Dr. Perry's
successor. Dr. Perry says, "It
would be great to have a woman
as president, but it's important
to choose the most qualified
candidate, man or woman."

Dr. Perry and his wife Ellen
have purchased a house in
Charlottesville, VA. Dr. Perry
said "We love Atlanta," but
explained that they also like
Charlottesville, the home of the
University of Virginia. Dr. Perry
served as dean of admissions
and professor of English at U.
Va. where he graduated Phi
Beta Kappa. Prior to his ap-
pointments at U.VA he was
chairman of the English Depart-
ment at Washington and Lee.
He received his masters degree
and doctoral degree in English
literature from Harvard Univer-
sity. Dr. Perry will be teaching
Poetry of the Victorian Period
(English 322) this spring.

ASC Celebrates Women

by W. Burlette Carter

This year the college
has dedicated itself to a year-
long focus on women concen-
trating on the theme "Women
and Mindpower." At con-
vocations, symposia, tabletalks
and panel discussions,
members of the College com-
munity will hear accomplished
women address this theme and
will, themselves, have the op-
portunity to provide their own
insights as to its meaning in the
80s.

Standard or "required" con-
vocations such as Honors Day
and Founders Day will feature
accomplished women who will
address the College on various
aspects of the broad theme,
"Women and Mindpower."

Some of these convocations
will be included as an activity in
three symposia scheduled
throughout the year. These
symposia entitled "Women and
Scholarship" (fall), "Women
and Achievement" (winter), and
"Women and Curriculum"
(spring), will each provide afew
days of concentrated attention
to their respective subjects.

Kicking off "Women and
Mindpower" will be a tabletalk

scheduled for September 24,
at noon in the Hub. Par-
ticipants will investigate the
subject "Women and Religion:
A Question of Oppression."
Agnes Scott students, faculty
and local participants will
engage in discussion which will
focus on possible correlations
between Biblical inter-
pretations and sex roles as they
are prescribed by society.

Faculty support for a year-
long focus at Agnes Scott
developed after members of the
ASC faculty participated in a
conference sponsored by the
Womens College Coalition. The
conference, which took place at
the Continuing Education
Center at the University of
Maryland, was designed to
bring faculty and ad-
ministrators from women's
colleges together to emphasize
the need to incorporate
women's scholarship into
college curriculums. Fifteen
women's colleges were in atten-
dance at the Maryland con-
ference. The ASC delegation
consisted of Dean JuliaT. Gary,
and Professors Ayse Carden,
Caroline Dillman, Miriam
Drucker and Patricia Pinka.

Upon returning to the cam-
pus conference participants
approached President Perry
about having some kind of
symposium which would ad-
dress the issue of women's
research and studies.

The President was extremely
receptive to the idea according
to Professor Carden, and he
formed a special committee to
investigate and pursue
possibilities in this area. In
addition to those five faculty
and administrators who attend-
ed the conference, the
President's committee also in-
cludes Professors John Pilger,
Terry McGehee, Paul Kuznesof
and Dean Gue Hudson.

The irony of the birth of
"Women and Mindpower" is
that it was an idea shared by
both faculty and students. SGA
President Peggy Davis had
spoken with Dean Martha
Kirkland about the possibility of
a year-long focus on women
before ever hearing about the
faculty's participation in the
University of Maryland Con-
ference. Peggy said, "When I
was approached by Dr. Carden,

So, we've all left the sunset beaches and sandy-haired surfers for
a better life the life at Agnes Scott. To some of us, the return to
the ASC life is old hat. But, toothers, this is your first venture. May I
be one of the many to welcome all new students and wish you a very
successful year. The key to insuring a successful year is involve-
ment.

Education is unique at Scott. Your classroom experience will be
a profitable one if you allow yourself to become involved in your
class discussions, readings and other study assignments. Involve-
ment increases your interest and in turn can provide energy and
desire to learn when those mid-quarter blahs hit.

Involvement in campus extracurricular activities enhances your
academic education and adds a new dimension to your total ASC
education. Scott has organizations to meet every student's
interests. For the journalist, photographer and poet, there are the
Profile, Silhouette, and Aurora. The Athletic Association, Dance
Group and Dolphin Club offer a haven for the athletically-inclined.
Those musically-talented students have the Glee Club, Organ
Guild and other Baroque Ensembles. Blackfriars is the group for
those destined for the stage. The Student Admissions Represen-
tatives (SAR's) help recruit new students. For those interested in
public concerns, check out Working for Awareness. ASC has a
variety of language clubs, Chimo, and Students for Black
Awareness. Bible study and prayer groups are led by the Christian
Association. If you're interested in student government, Rep.
Council elections will be held soon along with elections for the
Board of Student Activities, Arts Council, and the Spirit Com-
mittee.

And don't forget that visiting speakers and other special events
on and off campus offer other ways to expand your education.

ASC has much to offer; take advantage of all of it. Your
involvement will determine whether your education is a partial or a
complete one.

If you have any questions or just want to talk, feel free to come by
(300 Rebekah) or call (371-8677).

To the Agnes Scott Community:
It is with real regret that I
inform you that I have sub-
mitted to the Board of Trustees
my notice of retirement from the
office of President of Agnes
Scott College, effective no later
than June 30, 1982. As most of
you know, my health has been
uncertain in recent months,
and, accordingly, I believe my
decision is the right one at this
time, for the College and for me
and my family.

For more than eight years, I
have been your president, and
together we have continued to
weather with honor and
responsible progress, I believe
perhaps the most trying
period in the history of Ameir-
can higher education. We have
kept our academic program
strong in the traditional dis-

cipline while adding new
courses and opportunities
needed by women in today's
world. We have fashioned a
more responsive machinery of
college governance, with
greater voice in policy making
for both faculty and students.

We have entrusted students
with virtual autonomy overtheir
own social and extracurricular
life, and they have effectively
honored this trust. We have
increased significantly faculty
and staff salaries and benefits
for both active and retired
personnel. Finally, despite the
pressures of a period of finan-
3ial stringency, we have main-
tained each year a balanced
Dudget free of debt. In sum-
nary, I believe that together we
lave kept faith with the vision of
Dur founders and the efforts of

Dur predecessors here, mindful
3f our great heritage and of the
educational needs of women
preparing for life in this tur-
bulent age.

Agnes Scott is a great
college, and ours is a precious
heritage. I am convinced that
the College has a firm if
challenging future. I believe
that such a future can now be
enchanced by fresh and
vigorous new leadership. Mrs.
Perry and I shall always love
and admire Agnes Scott and its
people. We shall leave here a
large measure of ourselves, and
we shall carry with us cherished
and happy memories of our life
here. Let us urge you to con-
tinue to love Agnes Scott, to
support it, and to work for it and
for each other.

Good luck, and God bless
you all. Marvin B. Perry, Jr.

Black Cat Rules Announced

Submitted by Marjory
Sivewright
Mortar Board Chairman

Are you all ready for the best
Black Cat ever? Mortar Board is
excited and looking forward to
making the 1981 Black Cat a
special time foryou Peppermint
Patties, Boy Scouts, Sailors and
Freshmen (?). We want to
remind upperclassmen that
now is the time for all the
classes to join together to
welcome the class of 1985.

Black Cat is always a time tilled
with shenanigans between all
the classes but we must keep
some order on campus. Here
are a few rules that we hope will
make Black Cat an enjoyable
time for evervone

(1 ) Black Cat is a time for fun,
Common Sense and the promo-
tion of sisterhood. Remember
the golden rule: Do unto others
as you would have them do unto
you.

(2) Pranks are always part ot
Black Cat, but take care not to
damage a person's pride or
property - this includes all
school property.

(3) No pranks before
September 28.

(4) 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 and class
attendance). No road tripping
allowed.

(5) All Black Cat activities
(such as work on freshmen
mascot and pranks) must take
place on campus or in faculty
housing.

(6) Clean up your own
messes; they are not the maids'
responsibility.

(7) Do not take the master
keys in order to break into
rooms on campus.

(8) All freshmen must be
informed of the mascot as soon
as it is chosen.

(9) Black Cat offers no excuse
for late or unsatisfactory
academic work.

(10) Black Cat is the time to
unify your class.

Have a safe, fun, and HAPPY
BLACK CAT!

by Laurie McBrayer

Eudora Welty drew a large
crowd last year and so did the
Alabama Shakespeare Festival.
But unfortunately, many of the
cultural events held on campus
this past year were not well
attended. This not only dismays
the lecture committee, but is
also embarrassing to the ad-
ministration. Guest speakers,
musical groups, and theatrical
troupes deserve large
audiences. But most important-
ly, students should consider
these events as a part of their
education and not miss them.

Academic pressure and lack
of time seem to be the prevalent
excuses for not attending these
programs. In fact, the only
programs with an acceptable
number of students attending
seem to be the ones which the
freshman English professors
recommended strongly to their
classes. It is ridiculous to think
that students must be
manoeuvred and persuaded to
learn outside the classroom.

Often, the lectures given supple-
ment information the students
have already attained. Other
times speakers or performers
expose the audience members
to something entirely new. The
opportunity to walk to a free
lecture by a well-known
politician or to a performance
by the Academy Theatre and be
admitted free or pay a nominal
fee, is rare.

One day I heard several
young alumnaediscussing their
years at ASC. They said in
essence that they wished they
had spent less time studying
and had taken advantage of the
many outstanding oppor-
tunities ASC provides. Of
course, time management and
priority establishment are left to
the individual. However,
"forewarned is forearmed.'* An
attractive calendar of events
"The Arts at Agnes Scott" is
published by the Public
elations office. Because it is
tributed early each quarter.

Sis
ais

students should be able to plan
somewhat in advance.

Perhaps the difficulty lies in a
lack of interest in the events
presented. If indeed this is the
case, more student input is
necessary. Lecture committee
consists of several dedicated
professors and students. Cer-
tainly they can not be expected
to select speakers or per-
formers who will please
everyone. This selection is
challenging and the budget is
limited.

Any ideas about lecture
committee-sponsored events?
Write a letter to the editor or
communicate with committee
members, and pause before you
pass up the next campus
cultural event.

It is without hesitation that I
urge the campus community to
purchase tickets to the Kirk
Music Series - three great
performances for $12.

SGA Pres. Supports
"Women And Mindpower"

(In the following interview, SGA President, Peggy Davis, gives her
views on the College's planned year-long celebration of "Women
and Mindpower. ")

THE PROFILE: How did you get involved in plans for a year-long
focus on women?

PEGGY: (Laughter) Well, Burlette Carter and I have not agreed on
many things in thepast. But one thing wedid agree on one night (as
we were having one of our "little talks")was that something was
definitely missing in our college experience at Agnes Scott. We
were both very happy about the success of the Renaissance
Festival, how students and faculty seemed to be drawn together,
and we wanted to see that spirit again this year. But more
importantly, we both felt that Agnes Scott's students had yet to
prove themselves as independent and assertive women here on
campus. There seemed some conflict between our being a College
for women with these goals for ourselves and the reality of our
college environment.

We talked to some other people about this who seemed to agree
with us. On another evening until 2 a.m. actually, Burlette and I
mapped out plans for a symposium which would focus on women
and bring together various facets of the campus. We presented
these plans to Dean Kirkland later.

The whole situation was so ironic because Dean Kirkland told us
that Dr. Ayse-llgaz Carden and other members of the faculty had
been thinking very much the samething.and she suggested that we
contact them. But before we could get to them, they got to us. It
seems some of the faculty had taken part in a symposium at the
University of Maryland. The symposium focused on women's
studies and research. These faculty members were so impressed
with what other colleges were doing that they wanted to bring that
kind of thing to Agnes Scott. So here we are!
PROFILE: You said you felt "something was missing." Are you
referring perhaps, to the "apathy" that so many students and
faculty say exists on the campus?

PEGGY: Well Yes, but I think it exists partially because of indecision
about what we want to do or perhaps uncertainty about how to
do what we want to do. This celebration is our big chance to assert
ourselves as students, as women. I'd like to think that one reason
we came to ASC in the first place was we felt that as women we were
special.

PROFILE: But in light of problems with student involvement,
(because of workload, disinterest, whatever,) how do you and
others on the steering committee plan to get students involved in
the activities?

PEGGY: I have formed an Executive Board made up of one student
from each of twenty-nine organizations on our campus.

Through this board, we hope to gain student involvement and
student input concerning the year's events. Also, the College has
merged many of the activities with various convocations. This was
done both in the interest of student participation and finances.

The only way that I can imagine any student lack of interest in the
activities is a case in which the student just hasn't heard about
them. The whole year Is for them.

PROFILE: Let's talk about the steering committee a bit. There are
three student representatives and nine faculty members, including
two deans. Some students might wonder if student opinions are
actually heard on such a committee or, indeed, if student
representatives are not apprehensive about stating their opinions
before faculty and administrators. What has your experience with
the committee been like?

PEGGY: Ofcourse, one might be a little apprehensive about working
with persons who will decide her grade for the quarter but I have
found the faculty genuinely interested in student opinions, and
I'm not just saying that. I think that they realize that student input is
a must if the year is going to be a success. They have been very
responsive to our ideas and suggestions, and I feel very comfortable
working with them. In addition, it's a nice experience for other
student representatives and me to get past the student-teacher
relationships and to be treated as equals with other persons
working with the project.

PROFILE: Let's say you get most students involved. Still, there may
be students and faculty members who may oppose having this kind
of symposium. How do you respond to people who reject the idea
of a year-long focus on women because they feel the "women"
issue has already been over-emphasizedor, perhaps because they
just don't feel the subject is that important?
PEGGY: The symposia are not geared toward politics, none of the
activities are. We're not here to push ERA or to tell people how to
vote etc. Agnes Scott has a tradition of supporting and en-
couraging free thought, and we are expanding upon that idea. Our
whole purpose with the year is enlightenment. As for someone's
rejecting our plans, I thinkthat people who do thisare "jumping the
gun." Someone can reasonably reject something that has been
tried and failed, but I think people should at least give the idea a
chance and perhaps, get themselves involved in making it better
so that it will work.

The Agnes Scott Profile
Continued from page 1

I was stunned. I was very happy
and proud that our faculty, too,
recognized the need for some

substantial emphasis at Agnes
Scott on the subject of women."

Dr. Carden, representing the
committee which felt that stu-
dent input was imperative to the
success of the year, also ap-
proached the presidents of
Mortar Board and Working for
Awareness and asked them to

place their organizations at the
disposal of the committee.
These leaders along with Peggy
now serve as the three student
representatives to the com-
mittee and consequently are
present at all of its meetings.

To solicit even more student
involvement, SGA President
Davis on Monday, September
14 formed a special Women's
Year Executive Board made up
of one representative from each
of twenty-nine campus

Page 3

organizations. It is hoped that
these student leaders will
provide the student input need-
ed in such a major project.
Referring to student involve-
ment, Dr. Carden who heads the
steering committee com-
mented, "I am very happy and
impressed with the students I
have spoken with and worked
with, not only impressed by
their support but also by their
hard work and their overall
willingness to help with the
financing of the project.

Class of '81 Announces Plans

by Laurie McBrayer

Last May the Alumnae Office
distributed questionnaire's to
seniors at a pizza party before
graduation rehearsal. Ninety-
nine of 121 seniors completed
the survey. Of these 99, 25 per
cent had been accepted to
graduate school, 12 per cent
planned further study, 24 per
cent had accepted job offers,
and 34 per cent planned to

explained that this block of time
gives students the opportunity
to get situated. Many students
travel, get married, or just begin
the job search during the
summer, she explained. The
results of the CPO follow-up
survey are more encouraging
than the survey taken prior to
the 1981 commencement. The
survey results revealed that out
of 114 1980 graduates, seventy-
four had full-time jobs, and
fifteen had part-time jobs.
Twenty-six were enrolled in
graduate school; some of these
students were also working.
The three most popular fields
were: business/management -
24, business/clerical - 20, and
education - 18. Employed
students reported high or
moderately high satisfaction in
terms of challenge (81.2 per
cent), salary (69.6 per cent) and
long-range plans (70.6 per
cent). The median salary for
1980 graduates was $10,000 -
$12,999 compared to the 1979
median salary which was $8,000
- $9,999.

Externships
Explained

Since the Extern Program
began in 1979, 64 students have
externed in 24 different career
fields. In addition to externing
in Atlanta, last year's par-
ticipants traveled to New York
City, Cincinnati, OH, New
Orleans, LA, Richmond, VA,
Savannah, GA" Silver Springs,
MD, and Greenville, SC.

Through the Extern Program,
students gain active career
exposure by spending a con-
centrated five day period during
a school vacation with
professionals and their
colleagues. Depending on the
organization or career field, an
extern may participate in her
sponsor's daily work routine,
work on special projects, and
learn about allied positions by
visiting different departments.

Although this year, CPO will
be concentrating on the Spring
1982 extern session (March 22-
26); we havea limited numberof
excellent opportunities
available for the Nov. 30 Dec. 4

session. These placements are
listed below.

To apply, complete an extern
application and return ittoCPO

board and in the CPO Resource
Room. Externs will be selected
based on the written

applications and, if necessary,
interviews. Sophomores,
juniors, and seniors are eligible,
with priority this fall, given to
seniors. Juniors will be given
priority forthe upcoming March
session.

Once selected, externs will
work closely with Libby Wood

Helgesen Researches Writer

by Jane Zanca

While many students think of
their academic work as a
preparatory phase, a few in-
dustrious and energetic per-
sons manage to integrate
preparation with practice.

Kathy Helgesen is such a
person. Kathy, a history major
('82), has been working on a
research project which has
taken her so far beyond the
usual project limits that one
gets the feeling that the roles
have been reversed and the
project is doing Kathy.

Kathy's project is a study on
the life of Mary Ann Harris Gay,
a woman who lived in Decatur
during the Civil War. Kathy first
learned of Mary Gay through an
internship which began in
September, 1980, with the
Junior League of DeKalb Coun-
ty. The Junior League has been

renovating Mary Gay's home in
Decatur for use as a community
center. Kathy's intern task was
to research and write a paper on
Mary Gay which could be used
for publicity purposes. Kathy
began by reading Miss Gay's
autobiography Life In Dixie
During the War. Miss Gay wrote
this account of the War years as
a gift for her nephew whose
father, Thomas Stokes, had
been killed in the War. Kathy
says the nephew died
tragically in 1892, before he was
able to see the document. The
book was published in 1897 and
was quite popular. Foureditions
went to press, and the book has
recently been re-published by
the DeKalb Historical Society.

Kathy has spent many hours
since last September digging
for resources and interviewing
people who remember Miss

Gay. The Junior League was so
impressed with Kathy's
research that she was invited as
guest speaker for their April 12
meeting. The Junior League
presented Kathy with a copy of
Life in Dixie During the War
which, by then, Kathy says, she
had read about fifteen times,
and proves it by sprinkling her
conversation with dates, facts,
and passages.

Kathy's fascination with Mary
Gay is based in, the ac-
complishments of a woman
who had to fend for herself all of
he life. Miss Gay never married.
She and her half - sister, Mis-
souri Stokes, supported
themselves, a sister - in - law,
and a nephew through Miss
Gay's writing and Miss Stokes'
teaching salary.

Woman Nominated
For Court

the
Gay

by Kimberly Kennedy

Within the next three weeks
confirmation is expected for the
first woman ever to be placed on
the U.S. Supreme Court. San-
dra Day O'Connor, a 51-year-
old Arizona State Appeals
Court Judge, has been un-
dergoing question and answer
hearings and, as ten of the 18
members have already gone on
record supporting her nomina-
tion, confirmation by the full
Senate appears assured.

The Republican-dominated
Senate Judiciary Committee
has questioned Judge O'Con-
nor on many issues and, while
not committing herself as to
how she would resolve any
issue to come before the court,
she had divulged many of her
personal views and convictions.
As she has emphasized since
her Capitol Hill hearings began,
her personal views and

philosophies would not affect
her Supreme Court votes.

The most debated issue of the
question and answer sessions
has been her past vote in- the
Arizona Senate to repeal that
state's anti-abortion statute.
Conservative Senator Jeremiah
Dalton (R-Ala.) continued to
press Judge O'Connor about
her personal and legal views on
abortion and while she is per-
sonally opposed to abortion she
stated that there were grounds
beyond saving the mother's life
in which she had previously
supported it. She mentioned
having voted for legislation that
permitted the funding of abor-
tion in the case of "criminal
acts" like rape and incest.

While she gave no hint of how
she would vote on issues, Judge
O'Connor did allow her per-
sonality to come forth as she
described herself as "conser-

vative by nature." At one point
in the hearings she introduced
her husband and two sons and
described "families" as the
"hope of the world." As to her
deep convictions she stressed
the importance of the separa-
tion of powers and the
relationship of the states to the
federal government. She also
divulged these to other per-
sonal views:

published a number of essays
and poems, and a novel on life
in frontier Mississippi which,
Kathy says, is also
autobiographical, and was
written when Miss Gay was 79
years old.

In the course of her research,
Kathy discovered that several of
Miss Gay's poems and essays
had been plagiarized by Mark
Twain for his book Tom Sawyer.
Miss Gay was incensed, Kathy
says, particularly since Twain
failed to credit the works to her.

In addition to writing, Kathy
says, Mary Gay's enterprises
included spy work for the con-
federacy.

A copy of Life In Dixie During

the War is available at the Agnes
Scott Library and offers some
fascinating reading about Mary

Gay, her times, and the area in
which Agnes Scott is located.
One passage in the book
describes a day - long trek to
Stone Mountain from Decatur
when "Not a living thing over-
took or passsed us, and we soon
entered a war - stricken section
of the country where stood
chimneys only, where lately
were pretty homes and
prosperity."

Miss Gay's book mentions
Agnes Scott College (which
then was Agnes Scott Institute),
and Kathy found evidence that
Miss Gay and her sister helped
an orphan obtain a music
scholarship to attend Agnes
Scott.

Kathy is currently dedicating
time to an independent study
concerning Mary Gay.

Cadets Lose
Their Cool

The "ghost of room 1123
apparently found what he was
looking for, but not before he
attracted a lot of attention.

The strange, whitish-green
ight first appeared in the room
of two cadets at The Citadel as a
defused flash, then grew into a
pen light-sized glow and finally
to a light the size of a foot-rule.
The two cadets, Robert L.
Grenko and Bruce S. Harding,
discovered it would respond to

commands, moving up to the
ceiling to indicate yes and down
to the floor for no.

Almost as quickly, the eerie
light became a major campus
attraction. Hundreds of cadets
and school officials regularly
converged on room 1 123 of the
First Battalion barracks,
disturbing the study time of
Grenko and Harding. "I saw it
and so did six other people in
the room with me," says Lt. Col.
Dick Clarke, director of public
relations at The Citadel. "If it is a
hoax, it's a very good one."

Few seem to believe it's a
hoax. Most prefer the theory
that the light is the spirit of a
Citadel cadet killed in a fall
during the early 1960s. The
story says he was a resident of
room 1123 and came back to
claim his class ring. The light
itself has reportedly confirmed
this tale.

It seemed to be further con-
firmed when the light stopped
coming -<much to the relief of
the two beleaguered cadets - on
Friday the 13. the day senior
cadets receive their class rings.

Casey Kasem Discusses Rock

CABARET

Book by Joe Masteroff
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb

When it first opened on
Broadway, it was the un-
animous "Best Musical of the
Year." Set against a backdrop of
Berlin decadence, a frenetic
English girl falls in love with a
penniless American writer.
Soon politics dilute romance as
the Nazis rise to power. Based
on the play by John Van Druten
and stories by Christopher
Isherwood.

LOS ANGELES, CA (CPS) -
You wou Idn 't recogn ize the face,
but the voice is possibly the most
frequently - heardone in the his-
tory of the world.

It belongs to Casey Kasem,
who's been coming at you over
the radio with "The American
Top 40," a weekly syndicated
countdown of top - selling
records on more than 950
stations around the world, for 1 1
years now. A televised version of
the show has been out for a year.

"Hollywood will always
represent dreams to people,"
says Kasem in explaining why
his countdown format, in which
songs are introduced with
colorful anecdotes about the
recording artist involved, is so
successful. "Our show is about
positive aspects of people's
lives. We avoid anything that
would shed a bad light on a
groupor individual."

Consequently, he's "very
careful" in avoiding controversy
and "exploitation." He'll "aruge
for an hour to prevent one word
from running in theprogram that
might insinuate something that I
don't want people to have in
their heads about a person," he
stresses

Kasem believes the accent on
the positive explains AT40's, as
it's known among radio
syndicators, wide appeal.

"Our biggest fans are people
in the business," Kasem says.
"They know if we say something
it's going to be truthful andcom-
pletely checked out."

At 48, Casey Kasem still thinks
than any kind of music I can

It's checked out by his staff of
four writers, stationed in New
York and Los Angeles.

Kasem is deeply aware of the
trials and tribulations of making
it in the music business. Starting
as an actor and sound effects
man in the studios of his native
Detroit, he worked at several
television and radio stations
before settling in San Francisco
in the early sixties.

One day the program director
at KEWB told Kasem, who had
been using comedy and
character voices on his Top 40
show, to forget the jokes and
come up with something
different - fast.

"I had no idea what I would
do," Kasem recalls. "I saw a
copy of Who's Who in Pop
Music lying in the garbage can.
It listed things like the real
names of artists and their home

rock *n roll has "deeper roots
think of."

towns. And at the start of the
show, I started teasing."

The "tease/bio" concept was
an overnight success, with
Kasem using anecdotal in-
troductions to the songs,
followed by the "pay-off" after
the song is played.

The approach took him south
to KRLA, then the top rock
station in Los Angeles. Between
1965 and 1967 he hosted a
syndicatedTVdance show called
"Shebang," and in July, 1970,
the first syndicated version of
"American Top 40" was
released.

"It was the wrong place at the
wrong time," Kasem reflects
now 'Top 40 was a dirty word. It
was passe. Everybody told me
that term was the death knell."

But Kasem had faith. "I never
believed that disc jockies or Top
40 would disappear It's got
deeper roots than any kind of
music I can think of."

Award-winning photographs,
films, and a workshop will be
used by the Georgia Depart-
ment of Archives and History
during a special salute to
photography and its con-
tributions to our lives. The
salute will take place
September 21 through October
3. All programs are open to the
public at no charge.

"Picture Georgia" is an ex-
hibition of twenty-four
photographs from the third
annual Brown's Guide to
Georgia competition. It will run
September 21 through October
3 in the downstairs gallery of the
Georgia Department of
Archives and History, which is
located at 330 Capitol Avenue,
S.E. The contest drew over 600
entries from amateur
photographers throughout the
state. "This was our first year to
include the category of color,"
said Susan McDonald, Contest
Coordinator. The show in-
cludes pictures of Georgia's
countryside, cities, and people.
Lithonia's Ted Shields, with his
photograph of an old country
store, and Brinson's Dennis
Foulk, with his picture of a
watermelon field, were the
grand-prize winners. The
Georgia Department of
Archives and History will be the
first stop in a state-wide tour for
"Picture Georgia", which was
co-sponsored by Minolta
Cameras.

The Archives has developed a
tour program centered around
the exhibition and a display of
daguerreotypes and other
forms of early photography.
Several films that deal with the
history of photography will be
used in conjunction with the
tours. "Daguerre: the Birth of
Photography" and "Matthew
Brady: True Story of the Civil
War" are two of the films. These
films will also be shown at 12

noon each day beginning
September 21 and ending
September 29 for interested
individuals.

The Georgia Department of
Archives and History is open
Monday through Friday from
8 am until 4:30 pm and Saturday
from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm. For
more information on any of the
programs call (404) 656-2390.

fortunate to have an obser-
vatory, so take advantage of the
opportunity and come see us
sometime. Mr. Hyde, obser-
vatory director; Mr. Staal,
planetarium director; Mary
Jane Taylor or myself would be
glad to show you the facilities.
Also, on the first Friday of every
month, we have an open house
for the public and, of course,
ASC students. The topics
