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, Continued on page 3 Page 2 Behind Door Four by SGA President Peggy Davis 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. Don Quixote by Cervantes September 21, 1981 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. Social Council, CA To Host Events by Kitsie Basset, Social Council representative Social Council is already making plans to msure an exciting fall quarter, according to Kitty Cralle, president.

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 work. Eleven of these students had marriage plans; four had jobs already, two had been accepted to graduate school and four were actively seeking a job. Of the 26 going to graduate school, three are going to law school: Beckie Durie, Susan Nicol and Karen Tapper; one is going to medical school: Luci Wannamaker; one is going to nursing school: Debbie Arnold; four are seeking Ph. D's: Andrea Baird (Sociology), Carol Chap- man (Classics), Diane Shaw (Latin and Medieval Studies) and Margaret Shirley (Genral Psychology). The remainder of students are pursuing a master's degree in fields in- cluding education, English, history, international business, math, theatre, and decision sciences a relatively new field with emphasis on computer programming. These students going to graduate school will be attending. Duke, Emory, Fordham, Georgia State, GeorgiaTech, Middlebury, N.C. State, Pepperdine, U. of FL, U. GA., U. of Penn., U.S.C. and U. VA. The Agnes Scott graduates of the eighties are entering more non-traditional fields for women. Susan Barnes, math major, is a systems engineer with IBM in Charlotte; Claudia Stucke, English major, is an editor with W. R. C. Smith Publishing Company; Dare Gaither, physics major, does research as a senior technical associate for Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J.; Nancy Brock, history major, is a management trainee with First National of Florida in Tampa; Katie Bonta, economics major, is a programmer in application development with IBM in Atlan- ta.

Sarah Campbell, biology major, said she plans to obtain a degree in dance therapy. She has deferred acceptance to Goucher (a woman's college in Maryland) and is working as a sales representative for Stuart Phar- maceuticals in Savannah. Wen- dy Merkert, English major, is working as an accounts ex- ecutive for WKZK in Savannah. When Rhodes Scholar lla Burdette receives her English degree from Oxford University, she will return to the U.S. to study architecture. This summer she worked for the architectural firm that is renovating Campbell Hall. Since 1973 the Career Plan- ning Office has done a six to nine month follow-up of each graduating class.

Join The CJareer Placement Registry A Computerized Recruitment Data Bank Accessible To 10,000 Employees, Worldwide See your Placement Office for Data Entry forms 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 by October 9.

September 21, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 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. In addition to autobiography, Miss 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: abhors abortion feels it inappropriate for AHWOO GOES TO ATLANTA Ahwoo sends greetings to all returning students and freshmen, and regrets that he could not attend the opening convocation.

There seems to be nothing to block this woman's way toward history and the highest court in the nation, according to leading magazines. 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 - Sacramento, Califor- nia, 95817. jy Mary MacKinnon The stores around Atlanta are displaying the best of the fall clothing. However, there is one problem: How to pick out the "best" of the new styles with so much to choose from. The answer: Look for the more conventional styles; the ones that make a fashion statement now but will not be considered faddish next year. To help sort out the many fashions, here are a few highlights of the "best" fall newsmakers. The biggest news is shape. Volume, fullness, and roominess are "in". Huge shawls, capes, and wraps are being featured in many designer collections. PANTS: Legs are wider, and many are cuffed. Also big for fall are culottes and knickers. Knickers are also being shown as jumpsuits and overalls. SKIRTS: Biggest news is length. Although personal opi- nion on length should prevail, designers are dictating a mid- calf length for fall. Somecollec- tions are showing ankle length and long skirts. Skirts are fuller. They will be much more impor- tant than pants this fall. Keep in mind divided skirts, which are a fuller version of the culotte. DRESSES: The Chemise, for both day and night, is the predominant style being shown. METALLICS: Definitely one of the top fall newsmakers. The metallic colors, especially bronze, are being shown in daytime, as well as evening clothing. Accessories are in bronze or gold. SHOES: Flats for daytime, heels for night. The pump, in a variety of new styles, colors, and textures (example: suede and snakeskin), is the favored shoe. For evening: high - heeled, strappy sandals, es- pecially in metallic colors. The biggest news in color for daytime shoes is the bronze and copper metallics. MATERIALS: For day: Wool, leather and suede, tweeds, and corduroy. For evening: Velvet, lame, lace, taffeta, and satin. COLORS: The palette for fall is darkly rich and muted. There are many plums and burgun- dies, and other colors are mossy green, rust, and bordeaux. These somber colors are brightened with splashes of Chinese lacquer red and ming blue. Plaids and challis prints are the patterns for fall. TO WATCH FOR THIS FALL: The jacket, in all shapes and lengths, and the tunic, as a short dress or over pants and slim skirts. An ethnic, or peasant look has been shown in many of the fall collections and there is also a Chinese influence in many collections. Baryshnikov & American Ballet Theater Come To Atlanta An unprecedented week long engagement of the inter- nationally renowned AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE will take place in Atlanta beginning October 27, announced Christopher B. Manos, producer of Atlanta's Theater of the Stars. "This is without a doubt one of the greatest artistic events in Atlanta in over a decade," stated Mr. Manos, "It has taken us almost two years of negotiations to be able to bring the southeast Mikhail Baryshnikov, artistic director of the AMERICAN BALLET THEATER, along with it's prin- cipal dancers, soloists, and corps de ballet. It was a lot of work on everyone's part but it was definitely worth the effort to be able to present this fantastic dance company." Principal dancers for the engagement which begins Tuesday, October 27 at the Atlanta Civic Center and runs thru November 1, will include Mikhail Baryshnikov, Cynthia Gregory, Marianna Tcherkassky, Martine van Hamel, Magali Messac, Kevin McKenzie and Fernando Bu- jones. Audiences will see these premier danseurs in the Pettipa - Ivonov full length ballet, "Swan Lake", and in one of the greatest assemblages of reper- toire ballet ever presented. The AMERICAN BALLET THEATER will perform only six times in three sets of a two performance series (Swan Lake and Repertoire 9 ). A seventh performance, comprised of a totally different repertoire, will be performed on Saturday evening only. All performances will take place at the Atlanta Civic Center located at Pied- mont and Ralph McGill Boulevard. "I believe the most exciting aspect of their appearance will be the fact that the AMERICAN BALLET THEATER will guarantee that everyone will see all the principal dancers in at least one of the two perfor- mances," said Manos. Tickets for the performances are being sold in sets of twos and are broken down as follows: Tuesday 8:30 October 27 - Swan Lake; Thursday 8:30 Oc- tober 29 - Repertoire No. 1; Wednesday 8:30 October 28 - Swan Lake; Sunday Matinee 2:30 October 31 - Repertoire 9 1 ; Friday 8:30 October 30 - Swan Lake; Saturday Matinee 2:30 October 31 - Repertoire No. 1. Prices range from $10 to $20 per performance. The AMERICAN BALLET THEATER was founded in 1939 with the motive of developing a repertoire of the best ballets from the past and encouraging the creation of new works by young gifted choreographers. Four decades later, the AMERICAN BALLET THEATER remains true to its ideals by performing one of the finest repertoires of any com- pany and still being open to the work of young aspiring choreographers. The AMERICAN BALLET THEATER, with their troupe of about 100 dancers, is the only major American troupe to tour nationally as well as inter- nationally. The AMERICAN BALLET THEATER has visited the Soviet Union twice, 1st in 1960 with the distinction of being the first American com- pany to perform there, and later in 1966. They have also appeared as the American representatives to honor the Queen's Silver Jubilee. On September 1, 1980, the prestigious dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov took over as ar- tistic directorof the AMERICAN BALLETTHEATER. Undertheir new leadership, the AMERICAN BALLET THEATER'S 41st season consists of a nine - city tour, including Atlanta, plus an eight week New York season. They have met with critical acclaim across the country for their performance of restaged, refurbished classical ballets and for holding true to their original motives. The appearance of the AMERICAN BALLET THEATER is being sponsored by Atlanta's Theater of the Stars, a thirty year old civic, non - profit organization. Tickets are available by mail order only.

Arch-criminal Lex Luthor's attempt to wipe California off the map in the original Super- man was child's play. This time the whole planet is in danger as the criminal trio from Krypton, all of whom have the same awesome powers as Superman, makes its way to our planet. The three evil doers don't realize the extent of their powers for some time. After that realization there is a somewhat exciting although predictable climax. The culmination of the se- cond Superman movie is a clash between good and evil as Superman battles the trio in the skies above Metropolis. One member of the trio, Non, is caged under the pinnacle of the Empire State Buildling. In this scene, manhole covers are used as frisbees and skyscraper towers are used as spears. Equally attractive in this movie is more exposure of the man inside those red and blue tights. After all, Clark Kent cannot keep his identity hidden from Lois Lane forever. Super- man is still striving for truth, justice and the American way, but his love for Lois occasional- ly trips him up as a new side, more man than super, is revealed. For all those sci-fi fans, the special effects are much more sophisticated than those in the first movie and make the movie well worth seeing. Rated PG Tarzan: The Ape Man The major purpose of "Tar- zan: The Ape Man" apparently is to illustrate how good Bo Derek looks in wet clothes. Despite Derek's weak perfor- mance as Jane Parker, the film does contain some excellent acting by Richard Harris. Harris plays Jane's father, James, the leader of a 1910 African expedi- tion. Harris is outstanding as the self - centered, eccentric ex- plorer who comes to care deep- ly for his daughter. Harris sings lilting songs to bull elephants to calm them and drags his two Irish wolfhounds, Moses and Oliver, along through swamps and jungles. The only other good acting is by an orangutan and two chim- panzees who hang out with Tarzan. Their expressions of suspicion toward Jane evoke laughter from the audience. The plot is incredibly predic- table. If you have ever read a Tarzan comic book, you've got the basic idea. Each time Jane gets into trouble, Tarzan, played by Miles O'Keefe, swoops in to save her. At first, naturally, Jane is afraid of Tarzan but grows to trust him as the movie progresses. O'Keefe's acting ability is questionable. He doesn't utter a single word English or otherwise throughout the entire movie. He only gives a Tarzan yell. Personally, I've always thought conversation was a nice touch in a developing relationship. Rated R Stripes "Private Benjamin" fans re- joice; "Stripes" features Bill Murray in a counterpart to Goldie Hawn's Army spoof. While "Stripes" uses the same old civilian - goes - Gl comedy, audiences expected Murray to simply rehash Hawn's humor will be surprised. Murray turns in another masterpiece of crude, rude but successful wit much like his performances in "Meatballs" and "Caddyshack." This Ivan Reitman film also has the good fortune of having a competent sidekick to Murray. Russell Ziskey, played by Harold Ramis, has the right kind of easygoing wit to perfectly contrast Murray. Together, the two join the Army after civilian life seems to have failed them. The best of this film has the dynamic duo's disheveled com- pany doing their own drill routines to Murray's boogie chants. And make no mistake the group is good at it. Rated R Raiders of the Lost Ark Combine swashbuckler Errol Flynn, the Lone Ranger, Super- man, James Bond, and tarzan, and you've got the dashing hero, Indiana Jones, of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Then, after adding the skills of epic - makers George Lucas and Steven Speilberg, you find a unique recipe that makes this Collegiate Talent Sought Is there performing talent on your campus? Is so, the All - American Collegiate Talent Search would like to see it. This new program, developed by Barbara Hubbard, director of special events at New Mexico State U., is offering cash prizes and career opportunities to performers who prove their talents in national competition. ACTS is also offering a three - day workshop, in conjunction with the talent finals, to help potential performers prepare for a career in the entertainment industry. To enter the competition, students should submit a video cassette recording or, in the case of singers or comedians, an audio cassette with photograph. These will be judg- ed on a regional and then national basis, until seven national finalists are chosen by a panel of judges that include representatives from Billboard Magazine, Warner Brothers Records, Armed Forces talent personnel, as well as leading talent and publicity agencies. The seven finalists will compete in a live show at NMSU Jan 16, as the opening act for a major recording artist. All entrants must be enrolled in college and pursuing a degree. Performing groups of up to 10 people are eligible if all students attend the same school. Any type of performing talent is welcomed, says Jan Scarbrough, ACTS producer. Each act must have a student or professional staff member from the college or university to serve as an adviser. ACTS will award both cash prizes and match ing schoalrships to the winning acts and the schools they repre- sent. First prize is $3,000, se- cond prize is $2,000 and third - place finishers receive $1,000. All finalists receive $500 per act. In addition, audition tapes of all regional winners will be viewed by production groups including Warner Brothers Records, American Theatre Productions and The Oakland Ballet Com- pany. All contestants will be eligible for a touring company, put together by ACTS, to travel Europe or the Orient under the sponsorship of the U.S. Depart- ment of Defense. The ACTS conference, to be held Jan. 13-16 at NMSU, will feature many of the contest judges and others offering information on performing careers. "We're trying to com- bine entertainment and educa- tion," says Hubbard, a campus activities veteran who began work on the ACTS concept in 1971. "There is currently no real course study in grooming kids for the arts. That's what we're trying to do." ACTS guidelines are being mailed to activities offices and music departments of colleges across the country, says Hub- bard.

In his search for the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, which is supposedly buried in the lost city of Tanis in Egypt, Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, changes from a sedate young college professor to the dashing hero willing to risk anything and everything to solve the mystery. The radical difference between the teacher and the adventurer un- mistakably mocks the Clark Kent - Superman concept with which every All - American boy has been raised. Harrison Ford portrays the daring Indiana Jones with charm, charisma and just a touch cf sarcasm that serves him well when he bluntly answers a question with, "I don't know. I'm just making this up as I go." Rolling Stone Magazine, in its review of "Raiders", called Ford "the Humphrey Bogart and the John Wayne of the 1980's." As Jones' long - lost girlfriend, Karen Allen's spunky character stands up as an unqualified equal. Aftersheand Jones finish a rowdy brawl with the bad guys, she says, "You always did know how to show a girl a good time." And judging by the dazzling production of "Raiders," Lucas and Speilberg certainly know how to show their viewers a good time. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is by far the best movie of the summer Rated PG Zorro, the Gay Blade Some performers take decades before they find their real voice. Among late bloomers, George Hamilton must be counted as the most unexpected surprise. Hamilton's comic finesse is confirmed in "Zorro, the Gay Blade," in which he plays the swash - and swish - buckling twin brothers Don Diego Vega and Bunny Wigglesworth - two Zorros for the price of one. As the sleek Latin Don Diego, his flashing teeth, a hilarious beacon of self - love, Hamilton gets the kind of laughs out of an impossible thick Spanish ac- cent that Peter Sellers used to get. When Don Diego injures his foot in his battles against the tyrannical Alcalde, played by Ron Leibman, his long - lost twin, Bunny, returned from overseas as ah archetypal English fop, is only too happy to take his place. He loves dress- ing up as Zorro, but his masks and capes come in plum and gold. Hamilton has a lark in "Zorro," and his high spirits are contagious. The movie may be pure fluff, but it's consistent fluff. The inventive script keeps you smiling all the way to the end. Brenda Vaccaro is excellent as the Alcande's lusty wife, and Donovan Scott, playing Hamilton's mute servant, Paco, is a terrific slapstick partner.

Page 8 The Agnes Scott Profile September 28, 1981 Potpourri: Healthful And Helpful Hints, Information reprinted from Digest Beauty Mom As Perfect Mate Not only do men want a girl just like the girl who married dear old Dad - so do women. Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that both sexes tend to choose mates whose personalities are closer to their mothers' than their fathers'. Character traits that in- fluence the choices are degrees of dominance, res- ponsiveness and trust. And in another study, the hap- piness of your mother's marriage proved just as im- portant. At New York's St. John's University, research has shown that the four most im- portant factors in people's decision to marry are sex, religion, father's level of education and mother's level of contentment. People with unhappily married mothers look for mates who are religious and have the makings of a good parent. If your father is well - educated, you will want a mate who is a conformist. If he has a low level of education, you're looking for someone who is not prejudiced. Women, the study revealed, are fussier than men when it comes to choosing the partner to be with. Got A Secret? Don't Tell A Man Think gossip, and you think women. But researches at Northeaster^ University say your secrets aren't any safer with the male of the species. A ten-week study revealed that men gossip just as much as women, and they also focus on the same topics - dating, sex, and the appearances of others. As for "vicious"gossip, men and women rated equally, their conversations including about 27 percent positive remarks and 25 percent negative ones. See Yourself In The Gifts You Get Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but if he plans to marry you, he's more likely to give you a sweater. That's the conclusion of a report from a group of New York psychiatrists on the mean- ing of the presents we receive. While jewelry is a romantic gift, the research reveals that a gift of clothing shows that the giver sees you as a practical, stable person - one worthy of a long - term relationship. If you get household appliances, you're viewed as family - oriented. Leather goods reflect the businesslike, authoritative personality you project. Perfume suggests you're fun - loving, flowers that you enjoy simple pleasures and food that you are maternal. A gift certificate? You're certainly a mystery, the woman no can quite figure out. Penicillin For Allergic People A way has been found to ad- minister penicillin to the five million Americans who are allergic to it. The method in- volves giving the patient very small doses - by mouth - over a few hours until he or she builds up a temporary tolerance for it. (For some reason orally - ad- ministered penicillin has caused fewer allergic deaths than injec- tions.) Although the tolerance lasts for a short time, it's long enough to fight infections that can only be cured by penicillin. Right now, the procedure is only being used on critically - ill people because some risk of an allergic reaction is still involved.

Pfea 4Iut g The Family Is Not Dead Despite gloomy predictions about the future of the family, a recent Gallup Poll showed 90 percent of Americans are satis- fied with their family lives. In fact, 61 percent feel that their families are the most important thing in their lives. And - even after a decade of women's lib - 75 percent of the women polled see marriage and children as the ultimate feminine goal. Yet almost half of the respondents believe that, generally, family life has deteriorated over the past 15 years. The causes: alcoholism, drug abuse, a decline in religion and morality, sexual promiscuity, inflation and poverty. But Dr. Glen Jenson, of Utah State University, sees some good resulting from these sem- mingly bad influences. For example, mothers who work to make ends meet breed more independent children. Less money for travel means more home entertainment and closer family ties. Inflation may keep grandparents within the family circle and out of dehumanizing old age homes. The Early Bird Gets The Best Sleep If you get up at "the crack of dawn," chances are you've had the benefit of more rest. Ac- cording to the Better Sleep Council, most early risers not only sleep better, but are more conscientious and self - con- fident. In contrast, late risers are often rebellious, un- conventional, and less capable of recognizing their problems. But if you fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow, you may also fare worse. Of those observed, more fast sleepers were likely to wake upduring the night - and then may have trouble going back to sleep. ; Menstrual Irregularity: Exercise Can Help There have been several recent reports that a great deal of running, swimming, skating or skiing can affect a woman's menstrual cycle. For serious female athletes, we've heard, the rigorous training involved can mean irregular periods. But a new study suggests that just the reverse is true. When women who competed in the 1 979 New York Marathon were observed, they proved more likely to go from irregular to regular menstrual cycles. The higher incidence of irregularity before and during their training was traced to stress, not exertion. So, the study con- cluded, far from avoiding exercise, women with irregular periods might be helped by it. Students Display Entrepreneurship "Working your way through school" has taken on a new meaning for a growing number of students who're running their own businesses, doing everything from selling T-shirts and chocolate chip cookies to marketing sophisticated com- puter equipment. Now one student en- trepreneur has made it easier for others to start their own companies by writing "The Student Entrepreneur's Guide," a Ten Speed Press book, scheduled to reach bookstores nationally in late July. Its author, Brett Kingstone, ran his own bedding company for one quarter while at Stan- ford U. and relies heavily on his own experience and that of other student businesspeople nationwide in writing the book. It profiles entrepreneurs rang- ing from Stanford students who opened their own late-night deli delivery service to Harvard U. undergraduates who invented and are now marketing a com- puter link that monitors produc- tion line equipment. And, Kingstone says, it outlines the various steps in getting started, from acquiring appropriate licenses to test marketing to filing tax forms. Most student businesses operate on campus, Kingstone says, finding a natural, easv-to- reach market. "All you need is a creative idea - usually something you'd like yourself to have on campus," he says. The next step is an informal, but crucial, survey of other students. "Take an hour and knock on 60 doors ask students if they'd but the product. If most of them say no, you've saved yourself a lot of money and time," he says. Kingstone, who will leave this summer for Japan to start a fiber/optics firm with two Japanese students from Stan- ford, says the move by students to start their own companies reflects a changing attitude a growing dislike for big govern- ment and a growing trust of private business.

The committee members from Atlanta are the Rev. Harry A. Fifield, retired minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta; Mary D. Gellerstedt, past presi- dent of the Agnes Scott Alum- nae Association; Suzella Burns Newsome, past member of the executive board of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association; Horace H. Sibley of King & Spalding law firm; and Augustus H. Sterne, dean of the School of Business Administra- tion of Atlanta University and retired chairman of the Trust Company of Georgia. Also named to the search committee is Nancy H. Sibley, Agnes Scott alumna and trustee from Charlotte, N.C. Gellerstedt also announced that the search committee would be assisted by an ad- visory committee of ad- ministrators, faculty, students and alumnae from the college. Alumnae appointed include Jacqueline Simmons Gow '52, Jean Salter Reeves '59, and Susan Skinner Thomas 74. Student advisory members are: Peggy Davis, SGA president, Kathryn Hart, junior class presi- dent, and Kappy Wilkes, sophomore class president. Faculty members on the search committee include: Professors Alice Cunningham (Chemistry), Augustus Cochran (Political Science), and Mary Sheats (Bible and Religion). The Presidential Search Committee held its first meeting last Thursday. Atlanta attorney, Alex P. Gaines is leading the Agnes Scott presidential search committee. Changes In Student Loan Program Explained submitted by Alice Grass, Financial Aid Office Many of you have recently been confused by various ar- ticles in newspapers and magazines and by t.v. and radio news coverage of recent changes made in the Guaranteed Student Loan program. Because so many of our students have enjoyed the benefits of the Guaranteed Student Loan program in the past, we wish to discuss the new regulations. They may affect many of you. As of October, the most significant change in the GSL program will be in the way family income will affect eligibility. Only students whose gross adjusted family income is $30,000 or less will "automatically" qualify for loans subsidized by the govern- ment. Those with higher family incomes will have to demonstrate need by com- pleting a form devised by the Secretary of Education and distributed to the schools and banks. At this point, we feel that thisneedstest will be liberal and indications are that it will ignore assets tied up in the applicant's principal home, a concern of many. However, social security and veteran's benefits will be included as resources. If a student is found ineligible for a government - subsidized (the government pays the interest for the student while she is in school) loan as a result of completing the needs analysis, she may still be able to obtain a GSL if she can find a willing lender. It will not be interest free while she is in school though and since banks will not receive a special allowance, it is highly unlikely there will be many loans of this type available. Another change affects those students who are declared eligible for the government - subsidized loan. The cost to the Alumna And Husband Establish Economics Professorial Chair Alumna JuliaT. Smith '31 and her husband, trustee emeritus Hal L. Smith made a handsome gift to Agnes Scott College for the establishment of a professorial chair in the Depart- ment of Economics. The en- dowed chair will be known as the "Hal and Julia T. Smith Chair of Free Enterprise." The appointee to the chair is to be "a distinguished teacher - scholar who is a recognized interpreter and proponent of the free enterprise system." According to President Perry the chair's first incumbent should be appointed in time for the 1982-83 academic year. A search committee of Agnes Scott faculty and staff, and economics scholars from other institutions, will screen can- didates for the chair. The College has advertised in the Chronicle of Higher Educa- tion for applicants. The Search Committee will accept applications and nominations until Nov. 30. Next year's department should therefore consist of three full time members with doctorates. The search committee will consist of the following faculty members: Prof Ed. Johnson, Economics; President Gloria Shatto (Berry College), Economics; Prof. Michael Brown, History; Professor Carl Biven (Ga. Tech), Economics; Prof Con- stance Jones, Sociology; and Dean Gary, ex-officio. Mr. Smith was appointed to the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees in 1952 and served as chairman from 1956 to 1973. He was elected a trustee emeritus upon his retirement in 1977. He is currently chairman of the board of the John Smith Com- pany of Atlanta. Mrs. Smith graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Agnes Scott. She has served as secretary of the national Alumnae Associa- tion government ot tnis subsidy is being reduced by the borrower being required to pay an up - front fee of five percent of the amount of the loan. That five percent fee is deducted from the loan amount requested and is used to help pay the in-school interest subsidy. Another channe affects the amount of money a student on financial aid may be loaned. Up to this point a financial aid student could borrow funds to replace the parental contribu- tion calculated from the Finan- cial Aid Form when she applied for aid. Now the student may not borrow this amount to help out her parents. She may only borrow her "unmet need" her estimated cost of attendance less expected family contribu- tion and any financial assistance she is expected to receive to a maximum of $2,500 per year. Perhaps the only thing to go unchanged in the GSL program is the interest rate. Those of you who already have loans at 7 percent interest and who are eligible to borrow in future years will continue to have seven percent loans. Students who have nine percent loans will have their future loans at nine percent. Loans for first - time borrowers will be at nine percent interest. However, this will not affect you until repay- ment time if your loan is govern- ment - subsidized while you are in school. For students looking ahead to repayment of loans, there will be two changes in this area. The annual minimum repayment amount has been boosted to $600 (from $360) per year and the six month grace period formerly allowed after deferments has been repealed. These changes have been introduced as part of the Om- nibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 which was signed by President Reagan August 13. President Reagan is trying to cut costs at all levels Just how much these changes will affect our students remains to be seen. Exec. Roundtable Meets The Executive Round Table membership drive began Wed., Sept. 30 and will run until Wed., Oct. 7. Membership is open to all sophomores, juniors and seniors of all majors. Membership is by petition. All petitions should be submitted to Alice Harra, Box 254. The purpose of ERT is to bring executives from the com- munity and ERT members together in discussions. The theme for the discussion this year will follow along with the campus wide theme of Women and Mindpower. Anyone with questions should contact ERT President, Teace Markwalter at ext. 371. The Agnes Scott Profile October 5, 1981 Seriously Folks . . . by W. Burlette Carter My northern friends are always teasing me about being a Southerner. There's something about the South, the deep South, that just sets their analytic juices to flowing. Most of them have never been farther "south" than Washington. D.C., yet they all seem to have definite ideas of what we're all about down here. I've learned a lot from these guys. I've learned, for example, that all Southerners talk "funny." (The Northerners who provided me with this information assured me that "funny" was not a derogatory term.) The way I understand it, if you don't talk funny, then you're not really a Southerner. I don't particularly receive this information with great joy. I'm very proud of the fact that I am from the South but for me, the common question from Northerners after the "Where are you from?" is the "But why don't you have an accent?" Let me tell you folks, that's really embarrassing. Listening to them, I sometimes feel as if being a Southerner without an accent is like going to a formal without any clothes on. Not having an accent is, for me, a very serious problem. I have searched the very depths of my knowledge to discoverthe reasons 'or my deficiency. I was born in the deep South; I grew up in the deep South; I still go to school in the deep South but alas, no accent. My northern friends have suggested that perhaps I do not jrawl because at an early age I was "blessed" by some "northern nfluence." (Again, they insist that no derogatory intention is neant.) Having racked my brain for a possible explanation for my shame, I've decided that it must have been that blasted trip to 3oney Island when I was twelve. (What a significant effect one trip can have on a young child's mind!) I wonder what I sounded like before then? If I could get my act together, I'd like to sound something like the "Delta Airlines" guy at the Atlanta airport. I've never seen this guy, but whenever I travel, I always look forward to reaching the Atlanta airport, just to hear this guy from Delta drawl it out over the intercome system. I don't know that I'm "home" until I hear that guy. Just visit the airport sometime and listen to him. He'll make you want to take off your shoes and wiggle your toes on the carpet. Well, anyway, my northern friends do not blame me for my linguistical shortcomings. Having long practiced what they have heard on television, they do a much better imitation of the Southern accent than most Southerners I know could ever hope to do. They are always ready to give me instructions as to how I should sound coming from where I do. But its the facial expression that really bothers me. They tell me the drawl's just not right unless you drop the head a little, roll the eyes upward and droop the bottom lip. I just can't see the guy from "Delta" doing that. If you ask me, they end up looking pretty stupid doing it themselves. And they don't sound half as good as the "Delta guy." Like any Southerner, I'm usually as nice as I can be to these folks, despite my objections. I've even invited them down here to see the South. In a way though (and I know this is a very "un-Southern" thing to say), but in a way, I hope they don't ever come. You know, I just hate to see people get disappointed. Frankly, I just don't feel like getting everybody I know to practice their accents. (And believe me, from the imitation these guys do, everyone will need to practice.) But I think we can get the accent down; it's the other requirement that I'm worried about. Contrary to some other parts of the country, stupidity just doesn't grow on trees down here. Maybe we could all fake it and chalk it up to "Southern hospitality." Otherwise, it could be quite a shock for these guys to find that the South, with or without the accent, has really intelligent people. Student Enjoys Program To the Editor of the Profile: On Wednesday, September 24. I attended the Tabletalk, "Women and Religion: A Ques- tion of Oppression." This presentation was the kick-off for the Women and Mindpower symposium. The program was outstan- ding. The women who com- prised the panel brought a vivid, refreshing, and challenging perspective to a force which influences all our lives, whether we participate in organized religion or not. The excitement generated by the Tabletalk has spilled into discussions and contemplation for many of us. As an individual I would like to thank the members of the campus who made the program possible; the speakers who shared their ex- cellence with us; Burlette Carter, who sat in a very warm seat and handled it like a pro; and especially everyone who risked a little of themselves and responded with their own respectful, honest, and provocative ideas. If this Tabletalk was "just a kick-off". I can hardly wait to see the rest of the program. For those of you who did not or could not attend, you really missed out. As one student summed it up. "THIS is what Agnes Scott is all about'" Sincerely. Jane A Zanca by Laurie McBrayer Midterms are approaching. The general campus reaction is the same: dread. However, the approaches to midterms differ. One popular approach is to "pull an all-nighter" or two or three, in order to write and type papers and prepare for the tests. Students who take this approach often say boastingly "I'm going to be up all night tonight, so I won't be at my 8:30." They plug in their coffee pots, take a couple of Bivarin and post an enormous sign on their door: "Please do not disturb, my life is in danger." Students who put this im- mense pressure on themselves inevitably do not perform as well as they would if they reviewed their notes daily (or at least weekly) and if they began work on papers several days in advance. In addition, after stay- ing up all night, the student is usually worthless the following day and thus may miss classes and fall behind in classwork. "When young people go away to college, they face additional psychological hurdles," accor- ding to Dr. Robert M. Coles, research psychiatrist and lec- turer at Harvard. Organization of time is probably the most difficult hurdlecollege students must cross. Although they may be dependent on their parents for finances and dependent on the dining hall staff for meals, the rest is left up to them. The revelation that there are too few hours in a day is easily dis- covered. Studying, doing laun- dry, making appointments, and keeping commitments to a college activity are all time consuming responsibilities. Some students claim that they can't function in an organized manner and put additional stress on themselves by cramming material the night before a test. Disorganization and last minute work do not result in a job well done. Bivarin and NO-DOZ are stimulants containing caffeine, that students often use to stay awake. Overuse can result in fatigue, dizziness, and confu- sion. One NO-DOZ tablet (100 mg) has 33 per cent more caffeine than a 12 oz. Coke. Bivarin has 200 mg. "People who are deprived of sleep lose energy and become quick - tempered. Through pure determination, a person may perform tasks well for short periods but is easily distracted. Many mistakes are made, es- pecially in routine tasks, and attention slips at times. Every 'sleepless" person experiences periods of dozing off for a few seconds or more. The person falls completely asleep unless kept active continuously." Sleep is necessary because it "restores energy to the body," according to World Book En- cyclopedia. The key to successful studies is organization, not procrastination and caffeine addiction. Behind Door Four by S.G.A. President, Peggy Davis I hope that no one has the impression that the only two words I know are "thank you." And I especially hope that just because I have used them more frequently lately that the words aren't sincere. Honestly, I have racked my brain for alternative phrases or ways to express my appreciation for your interest and support. But nothing can say it better. So, thanks to all of you who came to the Rep meeting Sept. 29 to voice your support and objections concer- ning the amendment to RC 172. Months after surveying the students, discussing the pros and cons, and writing a formal amendment to the Parietal regulations, Rep Council voted in favor of the amendment (For- 19; Against-2; Abstentions-2). Because of the time lag between the Profile's printers deadline and the 72 hours alotted for petitions to rescind Rep's decision, I am unsure if Rep's decision will remain un- contested. But let's look at all the possible outcomes. If someone has petitioned to revoke the amendment, then a student body meeting will be held the week of Oct. 12-16. A student body vote will be taken on the amendment. A quorum of 140 students is necessary. And a majority of two-thirds vote is required to revoke or uphold Rep's decision. If no one petitions or if the students vote in favor of the amendment, then the new hours will go to the Ad- ministrative Committee for ap- proval. If it passes the-e, then the amendment will have to be approved by the Board of Trustees. Remember, the change in parietal hours does not go into effect until the Board of Trustees give their okay. One last update. The typewriter and sewing machine usage and check out procedures can be found in the library. But, one regulation needs clarifying. Because sustaining and maintaining typewriter cartridges and dew- ing machine needles and bob- bins is difficult, SGA can not provide them along with the machines. So, students will be responsible for obtaining these. Cartridges can be purchased in the bookstore and the sewing machine presently has a needle and bobbin with it. If this policy is ineffective, notify your representative and we'll work on a better procedure.

October 5, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 How To Say No To A Rapist And Survive by Kimberley Kennedy Probably the most frighten- ing fear to women is the threat of rape. No longer are women free to walk the streets, any streets, without the con- sciousness of possible attack. Much research has been done on the safest, most assured way of escape, and even now, the conclusions are contradictory. One man who has devoted much time to this problem is Frederic Storaska, the star of a 1975 film called "How To Say No To A Rapist and Survive." Storaska, however, is facing heated opposition from feminists who disagree not only with what he has to say, but also the style in which he delivers it. Feminists see his attempts at humor as inappropriate, while he defends them by saying it helps women to relax. (For example: in ridiculing women who rely on Mace or any other spray to protect them,"What are you going to do if the wind is blowing in your face? Say to him, 'Excuse me, but would you mind raping me from the other direction?"') Storaska's advice is this: Play for time, use your wits, and go along with the rapist until you have a chance to react safely. However, feminists and many rape - resistance experts believe it to be far better to scream, run, or struggle im- mediately. Both views have been examined, although relatively little has been deter- mined. Storaska and his critics agree on the fact that the rapist will flee about 50 percent of the time if the woman resists quick- ly. Lynn Mulius of the Houston Rape Crisis Hotline says: "Dur- ing that first half - minute, do absolutely everything you can to escape kick, scream, scratch, anything." Says ' Storaska: "That's fine if your rapist is in the 50 percent who run away. If he isn't, you're likely tc get maimed or killed. It's better to try to think your way out. If that fails, you still have the option to fight or run." The feminist opposition appears both justified and mis- placed. They dislike the idea of using seductive techniques even in self defense. One of Storaska's favorite examples is of a female student who, after being told by a male "I want you to get in that car," replies "Great," then tells the man she had followed him out of the dance, then gives him a peck on the cheek. She says she has to go back inside to tell her friend not to wait for her. Once safely inside, she screams rape. Says an anti - Storaska brochure: "We are concerned about the self image of a woman who The composite drawings shown below are of the two suspects wanted In connection with the MURDER/ARMED ROBBERY of two females, which occurred on Monday, September 21, 1981 in the City of Decatur.

Grad. Shares Job Hunting Tips Maryanne Gannon '81 con- firmed the idea that liberal arts graduates can and do receive prestigious job offers. Maryanne, a math/ music major received eight job offers in- cluding a systems analyst posi- tion at Martin Marietta (Denver), Exxon and Conoco (Houston), and Georgia Power (Atlanta), a geophysical engineer position at Exxon (Houston), a programmer at IBM (Burlington, VT), a systems engineer at Data General (Atlanta), and programmer/ analyst at Coca-Cola (Atlanta). A native Atlantan, Maryanne accepted the last job offer. She was willing to share some job hunting tips with Agnes Scott Profile readers. She said she began thinking about a career in May of her junior year. The following summer she wrote up a resume and had the Career Planning Office review it. Then she had it printed. In September of her senior year she sent a resume and cover letter "written specifically for each company" to an individual. She said, "It is important to get a name at each company you mail something to, otherwise your letter goes in the garbage can." She said, "When determining your qualifications, be honest with yourself and be positive." She offered the following suggestions: 1) Try to identify what field interests you (ex. sales, computer, public relations, etc.) 2) Decide what type of industries appeal or don't appeal to you. 3) Deter- mine if you have a geographic preference. 4) Get books and guides from the CPO. Check in the College Placement Annual to see what companies fit your profile based on above informa- tion. 5) Mail letters. 6) Be "gutsy." Call up or contact again by letter. "Finding this job is the hardest job you'll ever have. Be determined. If you are passive, you'll get no where," she advised. Maryanne suggests that seniors search the want ads in the Sunday Journal - Constitu- tion. She attended the Lendman Conference which is actually for technical graduates. She said, "Anyone can apply, but they do screen applicants." responds with feigned affection to a rapist, and is still un- successful in avoiding rape. Then what about her guilt, her anger, her feelings of being used?" Another complaint is that if women use Storaska's system and fail, the rapist can rarely be convicted. But the message Storaska is trying to convey is that with a cool head and quick thinking a woman has a better chance to escape an attack without injury. Many convicted rapists have said that a victim's physical resistance turned the rape attempt into a homocide. In these cases the assailant thought he was losing control. And while national law en- forcement studies conclude that resistance or immediate flight notably increases a vic- tim's chances of escape, it also increases the odds of sustain- ing heavy injury. The decision of whether or not to resist a rapist's attack is one that will never be un- questionably answered. The statistics will do nothing but help a woman decide wrv< h is more effective rr ost often. Every situation, every woman, and every man will be different and thus, the outcome of the attack will be different. Storaska is trying to show women he has the best way to minimize risk. Naturally the anger of being abused makes women want to fight But as John Lea says in his article: "Feminists, especial- ly, want to rouse female pride and punish rapists. To do that, they seem a bit more willing to gamble with the safety of the woman in the street." The preceding is based on a recent Time magazine article, dated September 21, 1981, entitled "Deadly Dilemma for Women" by John Leo. The Week in Review by Valerie A. Hepburn The first major talks-between the Reagan Administration and the Soviet Union on the subject of nuclear arms in Europe will be held on November 30 in Geneva, - Switzerland. After meeting for four hours last Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko chose the date to discuss the limiting of the number of medium-range mis- siles in European countries. Today, the first woman will take her seat on the United States Supreme Court, Sandra O'Connor, the 51 - year - old appeals court judge for Arizona, will be the first woman justice on the highest court in the land. Last week, the Senate con- firmed her nomination by a vote of 99-0. Although some con- troversy surrounds Mrs. O'Con- nor, primarily concerning her possible sympathies for abor- tion and the Equal Rights Amendment, most people think she is well-suited for the job. Thursday, October 1 marked the beginning of a new federal budget year and with it comes the initiation of the Reagan Administration's tax cuts. Wage earners will already begin to see the effects of the cuts. Withholding rates will be reduc- ed by 5 per cent; a further reduction of 10 per cent will come on July 1. Savings incen- tives will also go into effect immediately. The all-savers certificate, which allows single savers to earn up to $1000 tax- free and joint savers, up to $2000, is aimed towards in- creasing "money in the bank." Other programs will be in- stituted but these are the two programs that will begin im- mediately. Police are still looking fortwo suspects in the beating death of Jean Culbertson Buice. By the end of last week, the Decatur police had composite sketches of both of the men who attacked and sexually assaulted Ms. Buice and her companion Betty Ann Miles. Ms. Miles was able to break away from the attackers, climbing a 6-foot fence to get help. She suffered extensive injuries, but was released from the hospital last week. A reward of almost $60,000 has been offered to help find the two men. A two-part story on Wayne Williams, the Atlanta child murder suspect, will begin in US magazine's October 13 issue. Mary Welcome, Williams' attorney, admitted to Superior Court Judge Clarence Cooper that she had arranged for her client to be interviewed by the free-lance writer. The Atlanta Press Club is now seeking a review of the earlier decision to prohibit television coverage of the trial. Ms. Welcome had expressed opposition to media coverage of the trial, but in view of the US interview, Ms. Welcome's opposition may seem a bit hypocritical. 1. The Shelter for Battered Women would like Agnes Scott volunteers to spend some time each week babysitting children. 2.

Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile October 5, 1981 Gary Sightsees In China by Laurie McBrayer Dean Julia T. Gary travelled from the state of the peach to the land of the rising sun as she joined 15 others who travelled to China for two and a half weeks this summer. Dean Gary said that she experienced "severe culture shock " She explained that China is a poor country and that the Chinese have no "creature comforts." The government assigns the jobs and usually the workers cannot move to another location. No one owns a car; a fortunate family may own a bicycle. She said that most of the people live in high - rise apartments and have no running water. The adults wear very drab clothing; they are usually dressed in greenish - black pants and shirts. The average salary is between $30 and $60 per month. Dean Gary said, "By our standards they should beunhappy, but they are not." Not only was she sur- prised to see the people with smiles but she discovered that the cliche "poverty breeds crime" was untrue in China. She said that it was terribly safe and that they kept their doors un- locked in the hotels, just like at Agnes Scott. She also noticed that no one was hungry. She said that their greatest difficulty in China was over- coming the language barrier. "Few can speak English, and we obviously didn't speak Chinese," she said. The group's guide, however, had grown up in China and thus knew the language. She moved to the United States in 1973. Dean Gary met two college - aged girls interested in attending Agnes Scott. They had attended the Peking Languages Institute and their English was "impec- cable," according to Dean Gary. Dean Gary said that these students could not apply to Agnes Scott because they had not taken the SAT or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). "I hope we do get a student from there one day,' she said. Dean Gary said that her group had an exciting ex- perience attending an Inter- national Christian Church in Shanghai. She said that she felt "great warmth and fellowship" and described singing hymns in English next to a Chinese woman who sang the Chinese translation. She said that they especially enjoyed the dance - drama programs, (which are "big in China") because they didn't have to cope with a language problem. Dean Gary travelled to Tokyo, Peking, Nanking, Soochow, Shanghai, Hangchow, Canton and Hong Kong. They visited boarding kindergartens, climb- ed the Great Wall, visited the Forbidden City near Peking, witnessed the complete processes of silk spinning and tea making, and ate lots of Chinese food from fresh fish to sweet and sour pork. "I now use chopsticks graciously," she said. She explained that they usually had a brief lecture and tea before sightseeing. College Graduates BECOME A LAWYER'S ASSISTANT.

She had it repaired for $2.50 in Peking Hospital No. 6. She said that her own dentist in Atlanta said that the job was well done." Dean Gary said, "We never just sat in China, but we had a chance to relax in Hong Kong." She said that Hong Kong is big and very commercial. She said that it reportedly has one of the most beautiful harbors in the world. While in Hong Kong she bought an ultra suede suit, a wool coat, and some silk for a dress. Dean Gary said that she read several books on China before she left. Since she has returned, she has read five books. She said that the references mean even more to her now, and the new material makes her want to go back to that "most different" country. Decor Arouses Comment by Marcia Whetsel "No, - McKinney Date Parlor is NOT the 'prep' room!" accor- ding to Martha Kirkland, dean of students. McKinney is one of the many rooms that have been remodeled and/or refurbished over the summer. For those of you frequenting Main, you will know that McKinney Date Parlor has a new coat of PINK paint and the funiture has been reupholstered in PINK and GREEN. Oops - Sorry, that's "coral" and "light avocado," according to official word from the Dean of Students Office. The other two date parlors in Main also have new coats of paint, new lamps, and reupholstered furniture. Walters and Hopkins lobbies are also among the rooms to receive face lifts. Both have new paint and new furniture coverings. Hopkins also has new olive green carpeting in the hallways. Winship's lobby received a new coat of paint and is next on the "List of Places to Remodel" in the Dean of Students Office, along with Rebekah's lobby. In most situations the rooms were painted in ,l 9 nter shades than the old paint. Dean Kirkland said that they tried to lighten the rooms where it was possible and bring out natural attributes of the room, such as the moldings on the fireplace in McKinney. And while we are discussing new additions on campus, mustn't forget the new curtains in the dining hall and the new -Mght room rn the gym!! Ghislaine Rlgoreau from Paris, France Is the assistant In the French department this year. photo by Katesy Watson French Assistant Enjoys Agnes Scott by Scottie Echols Gislaine Rigoreau, originally from Paris, arrived September 8 to start her year as ASC's new French assistant. Having visited the United States several times, Gislaine spent 1975 as an AFS studing in Chelmsford, MA where she obtained an American high school degree. She also holds a degree in English and last June received her masters in law after four years of intensive study. Through Sweet Briar College she applied for a teaching position and was offered the job at Scott. Gislaine is teaching Intermediate Conversation this quarter, and her other duties include organizing the French Club, sitting at the French table during lunch, and aiding students in any way with the language. Her own study this fall is in German andhistory.and she is considered an un- classified student. When she returns to France, Gislaine plans to find a job in the legal field. She describes law in her country as a liberal profession which means there are no Social Security benefits and no paid vacations. Gislaine explains that it is difficult for a woman to practice law because of the problems of balancing a career and a family not unlike the difficulties American women encounter. In the short time that she has been here, Gislaine's feelings about Agnes Scott are positive. Gislaine said she finds everyone open and friendly and as she says "a community." Student Participates In National Science Foundation Program Mildred Pinnell '82 par- ticipated in an undergraduate research program sponsored by the National Science Foun- dation and the University of Virginia, this summer. She was one of five female and five male students chosen from eastern colleges to be in the program, located at the Mountainlake Biological Station in the moun- tains of western Virginia. Mildred said that the objec- tive of the program was "to expose undergraduate students to scientific research." Each student acted as an assistant to a professor who was conduc- ting an experiment. She said that once a week they informal seminars concerning current topics of biology, and formal seminars featuring a professor or guest speaker. Diane Fosse who had done research on the mountain gorilla and Lincoln Brower, known for his research on the monarch butterflies, spoke at two of these seminars. Mildred said that it was a constant scientific environment and that it was hard to adjust to it at first. She said that she learned a lot from others and that "this interactions was a very important part of the ex- perience." Mildred's sponsoring professor was from Florida State. They studied life history patterns of a perennial plant, Aminathium muscaetoxicum, (fly poison). When the study is completed the professor hopes to substantiate one of two theories or propose one of his own. Mildred said "Few un- dergraduates get the oppor- tunity to participate in research of this type and work on a one - to - one basis. Mildred presented a 15 minute seminar about this project to seventy people. The professors who par- ticipated in the program were top people in their fields, accor- ding to Mildred, and they came from prestigious universities. Likewise, the students from Cornell, Harvard, Oberlin, Wesleyan (CN), Hope, Bradley, Univ of TN - Knoxville, and George Mason Univ. October 5, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 by Andrea Arangno At the end of the long 1980-81 school year, most Scott students had their heads full with thoughts of sun and relaxa- tion in the company of old friends in familiar haunts. Some students, though, had the responsibility of a summer job, summer school or even a trip in the United States or abroad. One of these students was Sonia H. Gordon, who travelled to France. From graduation to June 12, Sonia worked at the Agnes Scott Library, then on June 13, 6onia Gordon Travels In France she flew from New York to France. This trip was a Bryn Mawr summer study program in which Sonia was the only stu- dent south of Maryland to be accepted into the program. To be considered, one has to send two recommendations; one from thechairman of the French department and one from the Dean of the College, including also a transcript, and an expres- sion of purpose. There were 60 students in her group; graduates and undergraduates from the United States and Europe. Thpse few met in Paris where they "... got to know each other very well and got along famously." Sonia said that about 30 percent were men. After a week of sightseeing in Paris, it was time to get down to business for the next six weeks in a small town called Avignon. Sonia took two courses; Ad- vanced Grammar and "French Theater since 1940." These two classes met every day from 8:30 - 10 a.m. and 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. After her morning classes, she had lunch in a park nearby and then took the bus home. Sonia stayed with Monsieur and Students Visit Wash., D.C. by Elisabeth Smith Both Scottie Echols and Nan- cy Childers spent some time in Washington, D. C. this summer doing internships. Scottie worked for Senator Ernest F. Hollings of S. C. and Nancy worked for Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama. They had an exciting time and gained a lot from the experience. Scottie applied for her in- ternship around Christmas; she said she wanted to go somewhere to work this summer besides home. She found out in early April that she had gotten the job. She went up in the middle of June and returned home in the middle of July. She shared an apartment with Trudie Cooper (who was working as a receptionist) in Alexandria, Virgina. Scottie worked basically as a receptionist, answering letters, typing, and answering the phone. She also worked for Senator Hollings for the Senate Budget Committee. (Hollings is the ranking Democrat on the committee). Scottie was in Washington at the time the big reconciliation bill was going through the Senate, and she said that the office was very husy and exciting. Scottie said that she learned so much this summer because she went there to learn. But part of her learning and growing came from her experiences outside of work. She went to lots of concerts and different kinds of restaurants. She and Trudie toured the city on their own the first week - end they were there. She met Ted Kennedy at a dinner and saw other politicians at various occasions. She watched a radio spot, or "short talk" being taped. Scottie was in Washington on July 4 and she enjoyed seeing the fireworks, and other celebrations. Scottie said that Washington is an "electric" city. She had "a marvelous experience" and said that it was "one of the most axciting things I've ever done." Nancy Childers also did an internship this summer and she was in Washington from August 6 to September 5. Nancy work- ed in the House of Represen- tatives after her freshman year, and this year was able to work for the Senate. She said that it was a completely different ex- perience. Nancy worked for Senator Heflin, (AL) a Democrat. She said that being a Republican herself made it an especially interesting experience. She was impressed by the way his office was organized and by the fact that he was spending time outreaching to the newly elected Republican Senator from Alabama. Nancy spent the first two weeks doing case work and the last two weeks working with the press secretary. She helped edit newsletters to Alabama and also helped write radio spots to be sent home while the Senator was touring. One drawback was that the Senate was not in session while she was there. That meant that there were fewer receptions to attend. However, Nancy had time to take advantage of the city. She toured everywhere from the FBI to the Treasury. She also went to see concerts and plays, including Annie and the National Symphony in an outdoor concert. Scottie and Nancy agreed that they worked hard 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. but they had fun on the weekends. Nancy said the ex- perience made her "realize how unaware of government we are at Agnes Scott." Scottie added that she felt like she grew up a lot. Nancy said that she got three things out of the summer: independence, self - motiva- tion, and awareness. Neither Nancy nor Scottie got credit forthe work, butthey said that the experience is enough. They said that you have to take advantage of it. Nancy remark- ed, "I would recommend it to anybody that's enthusiastic about it." Hudson Speaks On Honor Code by Jane Zanca Gue Pardue Hudson, Class Dean for Freshmen and Sophomores, and a graduate of Agnes Scott (74) spoke to an overflow crowd at the annual Honor Convocation on September 23 in the Rebekah Reception Room. Dean Hud- son's perspective on the Honor System is unique, having pledg- ed herself to it as a Scottie, served as its Chairman, and now observing its function as a college administrator. "You don't know how lucky you are," she said. "We are unique. We have an Honor System that works ... It is a gift a very personal gift that was passed on to me by the women of the college." She described the Honor System as a set of rules, some of which are easy to support, some which are compromise rules, but all of which are accepted by the entire campus community. Dean Hudson said that the Honor System is a lifelong commitment, and that the core of that commitment is personal integrity. It gives Scott students strength, confidence, a sense of what is right or wrong, and the support of a caring community. After four years, she said, students leave Scott knowing that they can make good decisions. Referring tothe recent violent crimes in Decatur, Dean Hud- son emphasized that the caring aspect of the Honor System is not the equivalent of throwing oneself into a fist fight, but it is an awareness of one's respon- sibilities "as a member of our community. We have become an isolated society, thinking we can survive as individuals." She equated the caring aspect with making a decision to call for help if someone is in danger. In keeping with a tradition which began in 1978, members of the Freshman class and other new students personally signed the Honor System Pledge. The pledge documents, hand lettered by student Peggy Schweers, will be displayed at the stairwell of Buttrick lobby throughout the 1981-82 ses- sion. Madame Fino. They provided the main meal each evening which was a five course meal that started at eight o'clock. After six weeks of classes, she returned to Paris for another week of sightseeing, where she lived with a missionary family. One of the most impressive things in France to Sonia were the organ concerts in the cathedrals nearby such as Chqrtres. On August 10 she returned to Agnes Scott, where she worked in the library until school started. In retrospect, Sonia feels that besides a noticaole increase in her French vocabulary, the spontaneity in her speech was increased im- mensely. All in all, she said her visit was a fulfilling educational experience. Professors Join Foculfy Mary Elizabeth Butler is a new Assistant Professor in the English department.

Lloyd Tuesday evening, September 22, Professor Raymond Martin gave an organ recital on the newly renovated organ in Gaines Chapel. The organ, Opus 2035, was built for Gaines Chapel when Presser Hall was being constructed in 1940. After many years of extensive use by both" students and noted musicians, the organ was restored to its original condition during the 1980-81 school year. The reed pipes were revoiced, all the pipes were cleaned and new leather actions were in- stalled. The recital began with J. S. Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", probably his best known organ work. The piece moves very quickly and has a joyful quality about it. Mr. Martin also performed Bach's "Schmucke dich, o liebeSeele", the prelude from Eighteen Chorales. It has a very soft, flowing melody which begins simply and deepens as the piece progresses. Robert Schumann's "Fugue on B - A - C - H. Op. 60, No. 4" begins almost meditatively. Schumann, who greatly ad- mired Bach, wrote six fugues based on the musical spelling of his name. This particular fugue blends several very pleasant melodies, building in volume and intensity to a climax, then slowly subsiding. The newest piece performed during the evening was the "Requiescat in Pace" by Leo Sowerby. It was written in 1920 asatribute to American soldiers who fought and died in World War I. This piece contained perhaps the greatest variety of sounds, from chimes to horn, and the greatest variety of moods. The program ended with Cesar Franck's "Grand Piece Symphonique". a symphonic suite in six movements. Franck was known at the Parish Conservatory during the mid-19th century as the "Father of the Modern French School of Composition and Organ Playing" and his "Grand Piece" is both intricate and enjoyable. The program for the evening's recital was well chosen to present the attributes of the organ as well as the organist. Jerry Falwell's College Dictates Many Restrictions by Katherine Londay LYNCHBURG, VA (CPS) - Ricky Johnson, a sweet - faced and good - natured student, was attracted to a woman he saw on campus one day. Like any other student, Johnson figured the logical move would be to ask her for a date. But unlike most students, Ricky Johnson need- ed his dean's permission to do it. Permission to date is nothing unusual at Liberty Baptist College, where Johnson was enrolled. Liberty Baptist is the academic pasture of fundamen- talist preacher Jerry Falwell's electronic ministry. Falwell, who is best known as the president of the Moral Majority, feels students need administra- tion consent before going on a date, which must then be spent in a designated dating area. As Johnson discovered, the administration doesn't always go along with students' dating wishes, especially if as in Johnson's case the two students are not of the same race. But such is life at Liberty Baptist, which Falwell opened in September, 1971 as an academic antidote to "the dark spiritual condition of the world." He strongly disap- proves of the evolutionary theories and situational ethics of other colleges, so Liberty Baptist promotes higher educa- tion as a literalist Christian exercise. While the campus isn't Ivy League the buildings are prefabricated and students sleep four to a room Falwell regards its construction as "a miracle." Besides miracles, the college relies on tuition and con- tributions solicited during Falwell's weekly televised "Old Time Gospel Hour." It has raised enough money to offer bachelors degrees in nine fields. In its first year, Liberty Bap- tist's enrollment was 110 students, who sometimes had to attend classes held in con- demned buildings around Lynchburg. But this fall, Falwell welcomes some 3000 students to a 24 - building campus on a mountain outside town. It was accredited last December by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Falwell wants to take it higher. His goal is "putting the school on the level of Harvard." Yale, for one, doesn't want it there. Yale President A. Bartlett Giamatti raised a national con- troversy recently when, in his written message to Yale freshmen, he denounced Falwell and the Moral Majority as "peddlers of coercion" who Continued on page 8 October 5, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 7 Neil Simon's Latest - - - Funny And Sad After sixteen years as strangers, a mother and her daughter finally get to know each other in Nell Simon's "ONLY WHEN I LAUGH." Three-time Academy Award nominee Marsha Mason and the multi-talented Kristy McNichol star as the newfound roommates who make you laugh . . . 'til you cry. James Coco and Joan Hackett also star in the Colubmia Pictures release directed by Glenn Jordan from the screenplay by Neil Simon. Roger M. Rothstein and Simon produced. by B.J. Lloyd There's an old joke about a man who has a spear stuck in his chest. His friend asks him if it hurts and he answers "only when I laugh." Not only the title, but in a sense, the subject of Neil Simon's latest movie is drawn from this joke. "Only When I Laugh" stars Marsha Mason and Kristy McNichol and deals with the human struggle with pain. Simon once again shows us his insight and sen- sitivity while making us laugh, in a film very reminiscent of "The Goodbye Girl." Mason does an excellent job as an alcoholic actress trying to cope with life and trying to be a full-time mother to her teenage daugther (McNichol) who moves in after having lived for 13 years with her father and stepmother. There are various subplots, including a friendship between Marsha Mason, a "beautiful - 'til-l-die" female friend and a gay big-brother type character played by James Coco. Coco has quite a flare for serious roles, particularly the type offered in this film. While this film shouldn't be labeled either a comedy or a drama, it is a mixture of both that comes across very well. It is typical of Neil Simon's work and unless tastes have changed radically in the last few years, it should be as big a hit as "The Goodbve Girl" was. Theatre Performs Chaucer's Canterbury Tales The Acaaemy I heatre presents a special pre-season performance of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The rollick- ing classic returns by popular demand after a sellout engage- ment last season. This modern adaptation of one of the oldest and best loved pieces of English literature regains the life of its earthy, bawdy, and romantic Medieval world. The Academy's produc- tion loses none of Chaucer's vibrancy as this distant world is recreated. Frank Wittow's energetic direction meets the challenge of creating this illu- sion by his precise orchestra- tion of mime, acrobatics and dance. Academy Theatre's notable Margaret Mosher replaces Catherine Barkley in this return performance. Ms. Barkley recently moved to Virginia with her husband, Chris Curran, a well known Atlanta actor. Another new face in this produc- tion will be that of Ivan Rodriguez, who will replace Ken Leon. As part of a southeastern tour, the Academy's production of Canterbury Tales will be in Atlanta for two weeks, from October 7 through the 18. Two Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. have been added to the regular performance times. A special rebate is being offered to anyone who purchases a ticket to Canterbury Tales and then becomes a new subscriber. This is in addition to the present 30 percent discount which sub- scribers receive off the box office ticket price. The widely acclaimed perfor- mance of Canterbury Tales returns to the Academy Theatre and preludes their 1981-82 season of award - winning plays. The season, for which subscriptions are now available, opens with A Lesson FfoOI Aloes by Athol Fugard on October 29 and runs to November 21. This powerful drama is energized by the dark ambiguities of South African apartheid. The year is 1963, when an Afrikaner, his English - bred wife and a black, former political - protest leader meet to rekindle their friendship. Winner of the 1981 New York Drama Critics Circle Award, it was called by the New York Times "a masterwork of soaring magnitude." Oppression Of Women Regarding Religion Discussed by Elisabeth Smith Last Thursday, the Women and Mindpower Symposium had its official kickoff with a Tabletalk discussion entitled "Women and Religion: A Ques- tion of Oppression." The dis- cussion was held in the Hub from 1 1 :45 am to 2 p.m It was well attended and well received by students and faculty. Burlette Carter served as moderator for the discussion. The panelists were Lenore Brewer, a Humanist; Constance Jones, Assistant Professor of Sociology; Mary Sheats, Professor of Bible and Religion; and the Rev. Sally Daniel. To start the discussion, each panelist was given five minutes to make introductory remarks. Ms. Daniel started off the dis- cussion with a history of women in the church. She pointed out that the earliest societies were matriarchal. Then, about 5000 B.C., men began controlling women, and society became more patriarchal. At the time the Old Testament was written, women were considered as property. Ms. Daniel then went on to talk about women in the New Testament. She pointed out that Jesus never discussed the issue; he regarded women as equal. After Christ, the church went back to earlier traditions. Women were to keep silent and later were not allowed to approach the altar. New themes discussed included: the subjugation of women, the fear of sexuality, and a narrow view of marriage. In the second century, it was declared that women ought to be ashamed of the fact that they were women. In the fourth century, it was questioned whether women had souls. There were three options for religious women: to be wives and mothers, to be martyrs, or to be nuns. After the Reformation, even monasticism was unavailable to Protestant women. There eventually arose the idea that the fall of man was the fault of Eve, and therefore Jesus died because of women. Prof. Sheats was the next panelist to speak. She said that oppression is a matter of perception; one may or may not feel oppressed. She went on to comment that religion has always had a double role; first, protecting the status quo; se- cond, challenging the status quo. In patriarchal Judaism, men dominate all along. However, there are some redeeming factors. In the first creation story, the word "adam" is used, meaning both male and female. There are some references to a matriarchal system still in existence. The line of Abraham is carried on by the son of Sarah, his wife. Women participate in the story of the Exodus. In the Song of Songs, the women takes the initiative. Prof. Sheats also discussed the New Testament; she pointed out that Jesus never treated women as in- ferior. She added that religion can be the means of challenge. Next Prof. Jones gave a brief comment. She said that most religions are partriarchal, and even when there is goddess worship, there is no indication of equality. She said that women do not have a great deal of power in religious in- stitutions; most have male power structures. She added that female power is non- institutional. Prof. Jones also pointed out that most females are more religious even though they do not have power, as indicated by their devotion and prayer. Mrs. Brewer began her remarks by giving some background information on herself. Shewasbroughtupasa Methodist and also raised her children in the Methodist church. She left the church 12 years ago and became a Humanist. She felt oppressed as a person and could not believe the teaching that one is always guilty of something. Humanists see men and women as r. roducts of the world. There is an ethical basis rather than a theological one. They believe that theism is unproved faith and there is not enough evidence to believe in the super- natural. They believe that ^ason and intelligence are most effective. Moral values come from experience. Mean- ing comes from knowing that one creates her own future. There is no discrimination by sex, age, race, religion, or national origin. Humanism has solved Mrs. Brewer's problem in part. Every day is opportunity. She tries to do things without hurting anyone and tries to help someone every day. There is no creed telling her whattodo. She has freedom of choice about how to live her life. In the church (Unitarian) everyone is on equal footing. After the introductory time, the floor was opened fordiscus- sion. The first question was whether or not the church is becoming less oppressive. Ms. Daniel answered that it still is oppressive, but that she decid- ed not to leave the church, but to go back to the scripture. She claimed power and authority for herself and then gave it away. She decided to stay in the church and work to end oppres- sion. The discussion included remarks that the church can encourage women to grow. Prof. Sheats pointed out that she has not felt oppressed in the church, but has had good experiences of affirmation of men. There was also discussion as to whether the answers to oppression were in women's liberation. Ms. Daniel pointed out that she had been accepted as pastor but it had taken a while. Mrs. Brewer raised the ques- tion of what we should doabout oppression in religion. Several people voiced their desire to work within the church and try to accomplish something. Ms. Daniel documented that it is easy to get paranoid, but that she tries to live the gospel she preaches on Sunday morning and to serve the community she is in. The discussion ended with a concluding remark from each panelist with helpful suggestions. Mrs. Brewer said we should go out thinking we can do what anybody else can do. Prof. Jones encouraged us to work for fulfillment within ourselves and not outside. Prof. Sheats said that our salvation and fulfillment will be in align- ing ourselves with some cause or something greater than ourselves. Ms. Daniel's advice was to hold on to our ideals, to be practical, and to never lose our sense of humor. All in all, the Tabletalk was an exciting and provocative ex- perience for most of those in attendance. Each person was challenged to think about new questions and ideas. There was a broad range of opinions, which led to lively discussion and friendly disagreement in some cases. The discussion proved the desire of the women present to do something about oppression in religion because it makes a difference to them. Page 8 The Agnes Scott Profile October 5, 1981 McDonald Returns To ASC by Catherine Fleming What brings Agnes Scott graduates back to their old alma mater in pursuit of a career? For alumnae Laura McDonald, it took a dramatic and gradual change from engineering to professional dancing, and now, a year's appointment as physical education instructor. The year 1978 found the Astronomy - Physics major in Schaumberg, Illinois, working as an engineer at Illinois Bell Telephone Company. Her in- terest in dancing resurfaced, and this, coupled with a desire for a new location, prompted Ms. McDonald to move to Chicago and become a member of the Chicago Contemporary Dance Theatre. Ms. McDonald an ac- complished performer with Studio Dance Theatre for 3 years, brings with her in- novative ideas that are felt both in her dance classes and in the dance company. During her years in Chicago, she gained experience from her work with New York choreographers; from influences of these cosmopolitan cities comes a new movement in dance methodology embraced by Ms. McDonald and her contem- poraries, known as post - modern. Ms. McDonald explains the post - modern trend as a descendant of earlier styles, beginning with that of Martha Graham, whose style of dance holds a note of drama. Her methods were so revolutionary that schools of dance the world over are faithful upholders of her craft. The work of Cun- ningham was next popularized; he employed the idea of move- ment for movement's sake, abandoning the structured methods that preceeded him. The present mode of dance, post - modern, had New Yorkers Dave Gordon, Twyla Tharp, and Marta Renzi as its developers; it involves pedestrian and visual movement techniques. Ms. Mc- Donald's work is a combination of Cunningham and post - modern influence. News of a year - long opening for a dance instructor reached Ms. McDonald through Professors Kaye Manuel and Marilyn Darling. The ex- perience gained in teaching is an important aspect of her long - term goal of owning a dance company; for her, teaching is informative. "You don't knov what's within you until you tn new things," she remarks. Agnes Scott will indeed hav the opportunity to try nev< things with the addition of this new dance instructor. Her im- mediate goal is performance, and in this case, students, instructor and studio per- formers can reap equal benefits. Weight Machine Arrives by Kltsle Bassett A four-way master gym has been purchased for the weight room in the basement of the gym. According to Miss Manuel, the gym set cost ap- proximately $2000. SGA donated half of the money and the college met the other half. Miss Manuel added that the physical education department was, "very grateful to SGA for their generosity." The machine consists of four parts: a quad pulley station, a leg extension seat, a latissimus (back muscles) machine, and an abdominal or slant board. Anyone unfamiliar with weights is advised to read carefully the instructions on the bulletin boards in the weight room. The bulletin boards also contain information on weight control, exercise, and general fitness. The weight room is open to all students during regular gym hours. No sign-up is necessary and a complete workout takes only about 30 minutes. Tennis Intramurals Start Today by Tracy Murdock Athletic Association has planned many activities for fall quarter. Student participation will be the key to success for all of these activities. AA would like to urqe all students to get involved with these programs.

AA would like to have intramural competition among classes if possible. If there are enough students, both doubles and singles will be played. Thereare also plans for a tournament at the end of the intramural games. Students are also urged to come work out on the recently purchased weight machine. Located downstairs in the gym, the weight machine is for use by any students. Instruction charts are posted so that students can familiarize themselves with the machine in order to avoid in- juries.

Moral Majority spokesman Cal Thomas replied that "Giamatti's speech was totally false and unfounded." Yet Liberty Baptist openly and cheerfully flaunts most of the tenets of liberal education free and open inquiry, skep- ticism, etc. that distinguish good colleges from the mediocre. "Anytime (faculty members) start teaching something we don't like," Falwell says, "we cut the money off." He also flaunts academic orthodoxy in his admissions standards, which require not only grades but demonstrably good "moral character" and an acceptance of Jesus Christ as the applicant's personal savior. "You must be a born - again Christian to be admitted to our college," summarizes President Pierre Guillerman. As part of the admissions process, students must write autobiographical descriptions of their conver- sions. After being admitted, students operate in a highly - structured and restrictive en- vironment. "If a student is not from a disciplined home," Ricky Johnson says, "it is a cultural shock. The rules are clear - cut, but you don't actually unders- FIELD HOCHEV tand it until you live it." There is, for example, the elaborate reprimand system. Students can receive reprimands for engaging in a wide array of recreational ac- tivities. Marijuana is strictly forbidden, as is drinking, dan- cing and going to movies. Rock music, which Falwell considers "the devil's anthem," is absolutely prohibited as is country and western music. Students can be suspended for dancing, swearing, reading pornography, or visiting the dorm (including the lobby) of a member of the opposite sex. Automatic expulsion occurs if a student uses drugs, joins a demonstration or riot, or in- dulges in "immoral behavior." But Liberty Baptist students don't have much of a chance to sin. Dorm officials inspect their rooms daily, while a guard oversees the single road en- trance to the campus. Students must sign out before leaving. They have to back by 10:30 p.m. on weeknights, or 1 1 :30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Once in, Prayer Leaders con- duct devotions at curfew times. The prayer sessions, like twice - weekly attendence at Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church, are mandatory. Faculty members also must adhere to rigid standards. "No way will we hire a divorced person for our faculty," asserts associate Dean Glenn Sumrall. FIELD HOCKEV by Virginia Bouldin Agnes Scott students have played field hockey since 1908. In past years, all four classes had teams that played every Friday afternoon. More recent- ly, in the past eightyears, Agnes Scott has had an intercollegiate team. Interest has declined, however, and now Miss McKemie has problems getting enough players for one team. The weekend of September 26 the Agnes Scott team hosted a tournament. The teams in- vited were Georgia Club, Vanderbilt University and the University of the South, Sewanee. Agnes Scott played against Sewanee losing 0-9 with seven points scored in the first half and two points in the second. The team had a closer score against Vanderbilt losing only 0-4 vith two points scored in each half. The overall winner was Georgia Club, beating Sewanee in the last game. "Field hockey games a^ played in two 30-minute halves, so it takes quite a lot of energy to play" remarked Miss McKemie. "We really had a good time. I could see an improvement in the girls from one half to the next." The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 68, No. 4 Agnes Scott College Decatur . Ga. October 12, 1981 r SAT Scores Examined Nationally, Locally Across The Notion by Kimberley Kennedy The College Board disclosed last week that the declining scores of high school seniors on the Scholastic Aptitude Test has been halted, at least tem- porarily. For the first time in 18 years the scores from both verbal and math sections remained un- changed from one year to the next. The compilation of test results from students graduating in 1981 show that average scores for college - bound seniors remained at 424 on the verbal and 466 on the sections. But, cautioned an official for the college board, it is "still too early to predict whether this signals the end of the score decline or simply an interruption of the 18 - year trend." However, Robert G. Cameron, the board's director of research and development says, "We are encouraged by the fact the rate of decline has slowed since 1975, when scores dipped a record 10 points (the verbal section) and 8 points in math in one year." He suggests that the "effects of serious efforts by the nation's schools to improve educational programs may be starting to emerge." The board also reported that although more females take the SAT, males continue to score higher than females on both the verbal and math sections. Males averaged 430 on the verbal sections while females averag- ed 492 on the math sections as compared with 443 scored by females. At Agnes Scott Judy Tindel, Director of Ad- missions, recently shared some impressive statistics on this year's new freshmen. These women were selected from the largest applicant pool since 1972, not only on the basis of outstanding SAT scores, but also on the basis of non - academic criteria. The mean SAT score for these freshmen was 228 points higher than the national mean for women and 261 points higher than the mean for Southern women. Mrs. Tindel explained that her office "con- sistently attempts to make ac- curate predictions as to who will be successful at Agnes Scott and are aware of the standards which must be set to insure successful performance." Successful performance can probably be predicted of this class since 52 per cent were in the top ten of their graduating classes. The number of Honor Scholars this year decreased from sixteen in 1980 to nine in 1981, not from a lack of eligibili- ty but from the original inten- tion of the college to limit the number each year to ten. These women were, however, chosen from a larger applicant pool and have a larger geographical distribution than those in 1980. While 52 per cent were ranked in the top ten of their class and virtually all were in the top one - half, 11 per cent were not ranked by their high schools on the basis that there is no univer- sal system of ranking for it to be considered fair. Mrs. Tindel, however, believes ranking to be a helpful predictor in the selec- tion of applicants saying that a good performance in high^ school shows when a student is well - motivated, which is the type of woman Agnes Scott is searching for. These women turned down a very impressive list of colleges and universities such as: Vanderbilt, Duke, Randolph- Macon, Wake Forest, Emory, GA. Tech, UVA, William and Mary, Yale, Rice, andJohns- Hopkins. When questioned as to why Agnes Scott was selected over these schools, "a reputation for academic ex- cellence" was the most popular answer. Location, small size, academic programs, and a friendly atmosphere were also reasons given. Other interesting statistics on the class of 1985 include: a six per cent minority, including eight blacks, one hispanic, and one Asian; 45 per cent are receiving some sort of financial aid; fourteen are alumnae daughters; and five whose sisters are alumnae. Parietal Amendment Passes SGA The consideration of the parietals amendment was the major concern atthe Rep Coun- cil meeting on Sept. 29. A change in parietals had been a topic of debate for some time with Rep Council. Some students favored as drastic a change as ould be allowed, while others were satisfied with the present policy. The council has reached a compromise between the desires of the two groups. The amendment would change parietals from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sun- days to 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Fridays and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Negative and positive points of view were expressed by students attending the meeting. Most students and council members voiced the opinion that Agnes Scott students are responsible and would not abuse the extended hours. The majority vote of the council was for the alteration of the parietals policy. Truman Scholarship Available Make higher education your priority. raw |0P0WER See Symposium Wrtle-ap, Page 6. by Kltsie Bassett The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation is now accepting applications for the 1982 - 83 academic year. The Foundation was established by Congress as a memorial to the late president to provide scholarships for students who are preparing for careers in public service. The scholarships, which may be awarded to a maximum of $5000, cover tuition, books, and housing. One scholarship is awarded anually to a resident nominee in each state. In addi- tion, up to 26 Scholars at large may be chosen. To be eligible, a student must be enrolled in and pursuing a degree at an accredited institu- tion of higher learning. The student must be a full - time, junior student during the 1982 - 83 academic year. Applicants are to have at least a "B" average and be in the upper fourth of his or herclass, and be a U. S. citizen. Finally, the student will "have selected an undergraduate field of study that will permit admission to a graduate program leading to a career in government." All candidates must be nominated by their institutions. The deadline for applications is December 1, 1981. Students interested in applying for a Truman Scholarship, you need to contact Dean Gary im- mediately. They may also want to talk with Burlette Carter, who was South Carolina's Truman Scholar for 1980. Students To Visit October 15 - 16 are the dates for this year's OktoberQuest. This is the time when all prospective students can come tour the campus, attend classes, meet with the faculty, and see what Agnes Scott is really like. There will be about 150 high school juniors and seniors on Newspapers Distributed our campus at this time. Beds will be needed for Thursday night, October 15, and guides will be needed for both days to show the girls to their classes. If you can help with this, please contact Susan Whitten at 371-8685 as soon as possible. If you would like to help in other areas, ask any SAR member. The Agnes Scott Profile is sponsoring a Christian Science Monitor Day today. Representatives of this daily newspaper that reports national and interntional news will be on campus from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Free copies of the paper will be distributed and subscriptions will be available. In addition, information folders with clip- pings concerning a wide variety of subjects are available for student perusal or ownership. Two tables will be set up outside of the hub, weather permitting. The Christian Science Monitor was founded in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy. Convocation To Be Held Regarding Pres. Search A special convocation regarding the presidential search com- mittee will be held this Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. in Gaines. Student advisory representatives Peggy Davis, president of the student body, Kathryn Hart, president of the junior class, and Kappy Wilkes, president of the sophomore class, are members of the presidential search committee. They will explain the procedure of the search to the campus community and then will open the floor to questions and suggestions. Page 2 The Agnes Scott Profile IF Y0UTU1NK GRADE SCHOOL IS COTOffED JO&TWMr. UNTIL YOU GET OUT .THE REAL WORLD. k Young mn Time To Wake by Kathy Helgesen There is an old saying (I discovered it on a stone tablet) that 95 per cent of all freshmen each year fall asleep during their Honor Court hall orien- tations. This is understandable because orientation only keeps you busy 25 hours per day during that first week. Unfortunately, though, you will still get in trouble with Honor Court if you break the rules unknowingly. Ignorance is noexcuse. The Honor System is explained in detail in the Student Handbook pp 6, 8-10, 35-43, so dust it off and read it. The Honor Code is really just "common sense" with a fancy name. It is not that hard to follow just ask any up- perclassmen. Look at how many of them have survived at least one year of the Code already. Here, in quick review, are two of the rules you will encounter most frequently (you'll be tested on this week . . . ) Pledge everything you turn in for a grade. Writing "Pledged, Kathy Helgesen" simply means that I promise not to have cheated on this homework, quiz, test, or exam. I once pledged a letter to my mom by mistake. Do not discuss any homework, quiz, test, exam with anyone until everyone has turned her's in. This rule was hard for me to follow at first because I have a big mouth, but I remember how mad I got in high school when the afternoon biology class always got much higher grades than mine did because so much test information was passed around. So, to give everyone the same fair chance in their work, we ask that everyone wait to tell about it until the entire class is finished. October 12. 1981 Behind Door Four by S.G.A. President Peggy Davis Change. In our society, we've begun to expect it and we have even become wary of it. But change, when the consequences of it are well researched, is beneficial and necessary in order to bring increased efficiency to any system. Your Rep Council has recognized the need for change in several areas: (1) Handbook: Petitions for Handbook editorwill beopened from Oct. 12 until noon on Oct. 19 instead of waiting until spring quarter. The new editor will begin work this quarter on the 1982-83 Handbook which will allow more time to develop a more accurate and complete book. This means that clubs and organizations should now begin examining the present Handbook information and constitutions for any corrections or revisions. Petitions should be put in Box 139. (2) Budget: In years past, SGA organizations requested their yearly budgets in the spring of the preceeding year. But their official budgets were never returned to them and, therefore, often overspent. This year, due to a limited budget, Jody Stone, SGA treasurer, did massive amounts of research and planning to insure that all organizations received close to their requested allotments. And she returned an itemized budget to encourage more sensible spending as well as better planning on the part of the SGA sponsored organizations. (3) Parking: Denise Leary, along with catalyst, have recognized the need for change in parking regulations. They have been working with the ASC police for possible solutions to the parking problem. Any new parking assignments will affect many of you and Rep invites you to attend the Tuesday, Oct. 13 meeting at 7 p.m. in the Rebekah Rep Room when the new policy will be decided. (4) Parietals: "To change or not to change?" That is the question which will be decided at a called Student Body meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6:30 p.m. In the Rebekah Reception Room. Rep received a petition so there must be a student body meeting to revoke or uphold Rep's vote in favor of the Parietal amendment. There must be a quorum of 140 students or a vote can not be taken Here's where you have the opportunity to make a change: whether it is to change Rep's decision or to change Parietal hours.

Scottie Echols, Katy Esary, Peggy Schweers, Catherine Fleming, Val Hepburn, Tracy Murdock. Phyllis Scheines, Elizabeth Smith, Edye Torrence, Colleen O'Neill by Laurie McBrayer Those slightly familiar with Agnes Scott College have in- dubitably been indoctrinated to the mainstay of ASC: TRADI- TION. (If we needed a Modern day Alma Mater, it might be "Tradition" from Fiddler on the Roof.) Traditional events held on campus include: Honors Day, Black Cat, Investiture, Focuson Faith, Sophomore Parents Weekend, Founder's Day, Junior Jaunt, Mortar Board Tapping, Capping, and Com- mencement. Black Cat, held last week, is probably least respected by ASC faculty, and yet, it like the other events, has its place. Black Cat is the culmination of orientation and a time to honor freshmen. Aside from Junior - Jaunt (campus wide fund raiser) Black Cat is the only event in which the classes unite and support each other. The fellowship, enthusiasm, hardwork, and sharing among Scott students during Black Cat, reflect in a significant way what Agnes Scott is all about. Most professors do not want to abolish Black Cat. They simply do not want students to take things out of persepctive. Sewing costumes and atten- ding rehearsals do not take precedence over class atten- dance or studying. Students involved in Black Cat, just like students involved in other ac- tivities, must simply organize their time. The Black Cat production is not a collection of silly skits as some suggest. Rather it is a program (ap- proved by Mortar Board) that reveals the experiences students hve in common. By watching the program not only are students entertained, but they gain a sense of sisterhood as they laugh or nod their heads in consensus. The issue is not whether or not Black Cat should remain a tradition. Rather, it seems to be whether or not Black Cat has gotten out of hand. Two aspects of this tradition which could conceivably be eliminated are pranks,and class cancellation by students dress- ed as black cats. Pranks such as greasing doorknobs, locking doors, spraying shaving cream on doors and hanging un- derwear from windows, on second Walters, serve to an- tagonize, not tease. It seems ironic that these activities oc- curing on a campus with a strong honor code would in- duce students to lock their closets and doors and live in fear for a week. The singing and chanting of groups (ex. "We found out" or "No you didn't referring to the secret freshman mascot) seem to be much more appropriate, even if these ac- tivities do occur at odd hours. It is understandable that professors dislike class in- terruptions, therefore, the black cats' priveleges of cancelling class could be eliminated. Professors should understand that whether or not they accept the black cat's plea is under their jurisdiction. However, it is evident that justthe presence of the cat in the classroom may cause difficulty. Several dilemmas regarding Black Cat exist. Some aspects of the tradition annoy professors. Students become distressed because it is con- tinually scheduled during midterms, which results in ad- ditional pressure on them. If the rules were altered slightly then Black Cat might command more respect. If classes were not held the Friday during Black Cat, there would be more par- ticipation at the bonfire Thurs- day evening. (Black Cat is a fun tradition one of few that strays from academia.) Don't let it become an event dreaded by all. What is your opinion regar- ding Black Cat? Administrators, faculty, and students are welcome to respond to this issue in the form of a letter to the editor. October 12, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 Student Procrastinators May Fear Failure Or Success All college students probably procrastinate to some degree, say the psychologists. Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen, but for some it is a painful problem with serious consequences academic failure, a sense of fraudulence, or a feeling that they don't deserve decent grades for work done hurriedly at the last minute. Procrastinators may themselves define procrastina- tion as a moral failing, saying they're weak or have no self - discipline, -Ms. Burka told a meeting at the annual conven- tion of the American Psy- chological Association here. But their behavior is really "a strategy, a defensive mechanism that protects shaky self - esteem," she said. Most Are Perfectionists Perhaps surprisingly, almost all chronic procrastinators are perfectionists. Many of them "expect top performances all the time," Ms. Burka said. "Any performance that is not up to theirstandards isafailure. Their insecurity is such that only an outstanding performance is adequate to reassure them." The only way they can cope with not being perfect is to wait until the last minute, when their performance will not be taken as a reflection of their true ability, she said. For some students with "a fear of failure," procrastination makes it possible to avoid any realistic assessment of their true abilities, she said. "If you wait too late to start working on a paper, then you're not really putting forth your best efforts. The best is never produced. So you never find out if your best is good enough." Such students feel they could have done better if only they'd had more time, Ms. Burka said. "They can blame themselves for being weak, but not for being stupid." For other students, procrastination masks a fear of success, she said. "It protects against an all - out effort, using all your potential and being too successful. One student said, "If I give up procrastination, I Senior Melissa Kelly has been flying planes for four years. Student Flies High In Planes by Virginia Bouldln For four years, senior Melissa Kelly has been flying single - engine Cessna airplanes. This past January, she received her pilots license, after a flying test with her instructor. Melissa said she was nervous about the flying test, even though she took her written test two years ago. Now, Melissa flys two - and four - seater, single engine planes. Melissa remarks, "It is a sense of accomplishment to be a young woman, and fly a plane. The older men around the field used to look at me when I came in from flying, and they would say, 'Was it you that just flew that plane in?' and I would just smile." Melissa has good reason to smile. She said, "It is not that it is harder for women to fly, just that many women do not fly." Women have a better sense of perception than men, due to a more sensitive inner ear. Hear- ing is an important factor in flying a plane, she explained. Melissa became interested in flying through herfather, who is also a pilot. Melissa's father started his flight training in the Air Force and has owned three different planes during the past eight years. The Kellys sold their plane this summer and have not yet bought another one. "It feels neat . . . different. You can be alone with no one to bother you. It's a real sense of freedom!" Melissa comments. "It releases my tension," she added. Melissa says she often looks up in the blue skies and wishes she were flying. might succeed, and I'd be closer to the top where it's lonelier. I'd be fully responsible and couldn't blame others for cir- cumstances.'" Others fear they will lose friends, lovers, or spouses if the become too successful, or that they will feel guilty if they become more successful than their farnilies, Ms. Burka added. Another cause of procrastination is the desire to rebel against authority, Ms. Burka said the feeling that "I'll do things my own damn way at my own damn time." Many students who are chronic procrastinators who plague profesors by handing in papers late or not at all, who miss tests and get incompletes in courses are not lazy, undisciplined, or unmotivated. They're not even enjoying themselves while avoiding their course work. Their dilatory behavior may be caused by fear of failure, fear of success, or rebellion against authority, say two psy- chologists from the University of California at Berkeley who conduct group - therapy sessions for such students at the university's counseling center. Students may use procrastination as revenge, to get back at professors they don't like or respect, or if they feel ignored or badly treated, Ms. Burka said. Use of procrastination as rebellion often grows out of family problems, she added. Students who have been pressured to succeed may delay work to avoid having to prove themselves, she said. Or, if their families don't expect much of them, they may want to prove themselves "but their low self - esteem prevents them from giving full effort to their work." "Obviously procrastination is not a simple issue," Ms. Burka said. "One therapist at the counseling center said, "I just thought procrastinators liked going to the movies better than they liked studying.'" To try to help chronic procrastinators, the counseling center offers two - hour group - therapy sessions that meet once a week for eight weeks. The aim is to help students identify the reasons for their delaying tactics and to provide some concrete techniques to overcome the problem, said Ms. Yuen. Students are asked to set one small goal, she said maybe doing the reading for one course. Many resist, because they feel they should be doing more. But with the support of others in the group and with instruction in techniques for scheduling and managing their time, many make progress toward their goal, she said. By the end of the sessions, many students manage "to strike a balance between naive optimism and despair," Ms. Yuen said. "They realize that someone does not have to be perfect to be of value." -Cheryl M. Fields The Chronicle of Hlqher Educa- tion, Sept. 2, 1981 College Scoops Enrollment Up In '90's More college students in 1990? That's the forecast of the U.S. Census Bureau, which says older, part - time students will take the place of declining numbers of traditional age students. Such students will make up for the loss of signifi- cant numbers of full - time students, the Census says, but four - year private schools could still face hard times. Baby Food For Teens Coming STRAINED PLUMS, ANYONE? The Gerber Products Co. is trying to develop a youth market for the fruit and dessert portion of its baby food line. Company of- ficials say many teenagers are already "closet users" of Gerber fruits and desserts, but admit the baby food stigma is keeping more from digging into the familiar jars. Ad campaigns to attract teens will continue, however. Monopoly And Scrabble Are Favorite Games (CPS) - Even in an age of sophisticated electronic games, Monopoly and Scrabble are still the best - selling diversions offered in college stores, accor- ding to a survey of student buying habits by the College Marketing & Research Corp. and Monroe Mendelsohn Research, Inc. The study found the old standbys still sell better than other hot items like stuffed animals, electronic games, and puzzles, though Dungeons and Dragons sets and their imitators are getting into the same league as Monopoly and Scrabble. Backgammon is also among the most popular board games at the bookstores. But of the brand - name games mentioned by students in the survey, 46 percent owned Monopoly, while 30 percent owned a Scrabble game. Of the electronic games, hand - held models that simulate sports are the best sellers. All Male Honor Society Battles S.C. A male honor society is taking its battle to remain all-male to the Supreme Court. The Iron Arrow Honor Society lost all of its ties with the U. of Miami after federal officials threatened to cut off $40 million in funds on the grounds of sex discrimina- tion. Iron Arrow now says it doesn't receive any university support and shouldn't be forced tu meet federal regulations. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed recently, saying the presence of an Iron Arrow monument on campus and the use of campus facilities for induction ceremonies con- stitutes non - tangible support by the school. Youth's Goals Include Education Being employed, successful, happily married and part of a social group are important life goals for today's high school sophomores and seniors, says a National Center for Education Statistics survey. The 1980 study will become the base - year for a long - term longitudinal study of American youth. It also showed that about 80% of all seniors planned to get some kind of postsecondary education, and the 77% planned to work either part - time or full - time in the year after high school. Over 70% of college - bound seniors expect to get some type of financial aid and 50% specifically expect a scholarship or grant. The study showed many students are still unfamiliar with the type of financial aid available. Love Causes Ailments LOVECANMAKEYOUSICK, according to a British Medical Journal survey of college students. The publication Doc- tor reports that the study shows falling in love can cause headaches, colds and skin rashes. Love - related ailments can be serious enough to re- quire bed rest. Feminist Studies Major Offered An undergraduate major in feminist studies will be offered for the first time at Stanford University this fall. Students enrolled in the program will take an introduc- tory core of courses and then concentrate on a specific area such as "Women in Language and Symbol," according to a university spokesman. The 42 available courses in the program will be taught by 28 professors. Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile October 12, 1981 Members of the senior class kidnapped President Marvin B. Perry, Jr. and escorted him to a birthday party held in the dining hall, photo by Blaine Staed. Students Celebrate Dr. Perry's Birthday by Marcia Whetsel HOT NEWS FLASH! - Presi- dent Marvin B. Perry was kid- napped from his office at noon on Tues., Sept. 29, and was whisked to Letitia Pate Evans dining hall for a surprise birth- day party. Rumor has it that the key kidnappers were members of the Class of '82. However, Profile sources indicate that the kidnapping was indeed a con- spiracy, and all members of the student body, as well as the victim's wife, Mrs. Ellen Perry, have been implicated. For- tunately, President Perry es- caped with no injuries and a large piece of birthday cake. i j To the Agnes Scott Student Body: The wonderful surprise birth- day party you all gave me on September 29 will, I know, be a highlight for me of this memorable year at Agnes Scott. I wish I could thank each of you personally for the very evident warmth and good feeling which characterized the party. Please know that Mrs. Perry and I love you all and appreciate every day all that you mean to us. The "kidnapping," the lines of students on our way to the dining hall, the birthday cake, and your warm reception and singing we shall always remember. We shall treasure, too, the huge birthday card which so many of you signed. Mrs. Perry joins me in affec- tionate thanks. Marvin B. Perry, Jr. Nixon Library Creates Stir At Duke DURHAM, NC (CPS) -Until a few weeks ago, most of the students, alumni and faculty members at Duke University either chuckled or tried to forget about their most famous alumnus Richard Nixon, 1937 honor graduate of the Duke law school. But no one's laughing now as Nixon, eight years after his fall from the presidency, has demonstrated he still has the ability to make a campus boil in controversy. Duke's Board of Trustees has ended the first month of heated debate by passing a resolution 9-2 in early September to con- tinue talks toward building the Nixon presidential library on the Duke campus. The idea of building the Nixon library at Duke was publicly broached in mid - August by university President Terry Sanford, who revealed he had met with Nixon to discuss the notion. The presidential records in- volved 36 million documents and 6000 hours of tape date from the late forties, when Nixon first went to Congress. The papers currently reside in a Washington, D C. warehouse. Duke's trustees also voted to donate about 30 acres of cam- pus land as a home for the papers, if certain conditions are met. The trustees' vote was far from a final decision. Before the library can be built, Nixon and the federal government must formally approve Duke's proposal. A private foundation, established by the former president's friends, must raise about $25 million for construc- tion. The trustees also stipulated that Nixon must "surrender to the university for the benefit of the library all right, title and interest" in the presidential papers so they are "freely available for scholarly research purposes." If negotiations are successful, construction ot the library could begin in 3-5 years, according to Duke lawyer Eu- gene McDonald. The negotiations, however, probably won't be quiet. One trustee called the publicity and controversy sparked by the library proposal "un- precedented." Emotions ran high during the four weeks between Sanford's announcement and the trustees' vote. A trustee emeritus, unhappy over the idea of the library, resigned from the board and renounced all affilia- tion with Duke. Another Duke alumnus, Pulitzer Prize - win- ning author William Styron, also denounced the library plan. Plan supporters argue the library's research value would outweigh what others see as the building's inevitable memorializing of the former president. Sanford cautions that "nobody expects this to be a shrine, including Mr. Nixon. There would be strict limitations" on the space in the library set aside for a Nixon museum. Nixon has publicly said, however, that he expects the library to include a museum. All six other presidential libraries around the country include museums of varying size. According to Sydney Nathans, an associate history professor at Duke and a library opponent, the ratio of tourists to researchers at the six existing presidential libraries is 1000 to one. Yet Sanford maintains Duke would exercise "considerable influence" in determining the building's contents and design, making sure it would be more of a research facility. Moreover, the school's trustees "can say no (to the library) at any point in negotiations." Dissidents also criticize San- ford for trying to force a deci- sion before students and faculty members returned to campus, and could organize opposition. The trustees' vote came four days before classes began and just one day after a faculty group rejected the library proposal by one vote. Measuring the opposition's depth is difficult. Faculty op- position is present in all academic departments, though history professors have been the most vocal. Seventeen of the department's 20 members are against the library plan. In her argument before the trustees, department Chairwoman Anne Scott noted that "all the faculty members I know would love to have Nix- on's papers for scholarly pur- poses. It is the library and the monument we don't want." She complained that "we would be inextricably involved with rehabilitating (Nixon's) career, and the name of Duke would suffer." "The issue has torn apart some of the facutly," English Professor Carl Anderson, who favors "cautious negotiations," told the trustees. "Don't dis- count the anger as temporary. It will continue, and it isextremely hostile." Student response has been quiet. Most students seem to favor the proposal. "I'm definitely for it," says junior Mark Finkelstein. "It's an honor to have his records here. Definitely good publicity." "All the objections to the library aren't very valid," con- tends senior Bruce Lieberman. "I would not consider it a monument to the man." Opponents try to dismiss such support by noting that most Duke students were only 13 when Nixon was driven from office. But the library controversy isn't the first time Duke has tussled with its most famous alum. In 1954, the faculty voted down the trustees' recommen- dation to give then-Vice Presi- dent Nixon an honorary degree. ^ rDAl P0> IT WAS THE ONLY institution That felt Your LIBRARY WAS con&i&tent VITH ITS IMA G E j Sewing Machines And Typewriters Available SEWING MACHINE RULES 1.

October 12, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 Student Recalls Year In Germany by Andrea Arangno Gretchen Lindsay, a senior whose major is political science and German, has visited Europe several times, the most recent one of these being her Junior Year Abroad trip to Germany. In the summer of her junior year in high school, she traveled to Germany as an exchange stu- dent. There she learned the .language and familiarized herself with the northern part of the country. In her recent trip to the southern area of Essen, she said she was able to grasp a true understanding of the language and mannerisms of the people, enjoying a relaxed view of her surroundings. Gretchen's trip was unlike the usual junior abroad program. She was nominated by a friend living in Essen for a scholarship at Essen's University in the district of a Rotary Club. Preceded by a summer vacation spent in the northern part of Europe, Gretchen arrived at her first host family's home in October where her friend lived. She lived with three families during her two semesters at the university. From October to February she took German to improve her understanding of the language. She took two political science courses; one in research and another in the political and social system of Germany. Another of her classes was an English course which studied the difference between English and British. This was her favorite class. Finally, she took a French conversation class. In the se- cond semester from February to July, she took another German course and she participated in a seminar in East Berlin which focused on German religion and government. She took a course on the environmental problem of Essen which she describes as being similar to Pittsburgh. She had a class on the twentieth century history of Iran and also a French conver- sation and an English course in humor. All of these courses were coupled with a folk dance and gymnastics class. At the culmination of each course, the students were given their only exam which was a paper on the subject. They would then receive a certificate stating the success of their class work. Gretchen said she spoke German 95 per cent of the time. She stayed with host families that belonged to the upper class level of society. She observed that in Germany compared to the states, the upper - class people were noticeably par- ticular about personal and social manners. She also seem- ed to notice their stress on awareness of contemporary news because of their country's locked position in Europe. Staff Member Discusses Daughter by Jane Zanca Rosa Smith, Assistant Super- visor of Custodial Service at ASC, is smiling a lot thesedays. She likes her work, her seven children are raised, she has thirteen grandchildren to love, and her youngest daughter, Ethel Louise, is on her way to a career in medicine. Ethel Louise Smith graduated as valedic- torian of her class at Morris Brown College in June and was accepted to the Howard Medical School in Washington, D.C. Ms. Smith, who has been employed at Agnes Scott for twenty - one years, is proud but not surprised. Ethel "was always a conscientious stu- dent," she says. During high school, Ethel placed third in statewide aptitude tests. She was awarded the Margaret Mitchell Scholarship to Smith College in Massachusetts. After two years there she transferred to Morris Brown College in Atlanta, majored in biology, and won several biology awards. Ethel was named to an honor society and to Who's Who of American Colleges and Univer- sities in 1981. Besides, Ms. Smith smiles, Ethel isn't the first in the family to do so well in school: Ethel's brother was valedictorian of his Murphy High School class in 1973. Ethel worked on a contagious diseases research project at the National Health Institute in Washington this summer. Ms. Smith visited and helped her get settled for the fall at Howard. "She spent most of her time on the books," Ms. Smith says, "but it was a good visit." Ethel has not decided yet whether she wants to go into research or medical practice. Meanwhile, Ms. Smith is back in Atlanta, and like any parent of a college student, is wondering how to deal with the problem of expensive long - distance calls. "I think I'm going to start writing to her," she said. "Maybe she'll get the idea." Circle K Club Formed by Colleen O'Neill Last spring the Circle K club was established on the Agnes Scott campus. Although new here, Circle K enjoys a healthy tradition as the world's largest collegiate service organization. Agnes Scott's chapter is spon- sored by the Decatur Kiwanas' Club. This summer club president Beth Young went to an inter- national Circle K convention in Philadelphia. She and fellow club officers Shari Nichols, vice - president; Robin Ogier, secretary; and Susanna Michelson, treasurer; will work with the club's membership this year to promote service in the three areas stressed by Circle K's international theme. These three causes are the physically handicapped, troubled teenagers, and the active elder- ly- Circle K plans many projects this year in the Atlanta area. The club will work with the Halloween carnival at the near- by Methodist Children's Home, possibly running the Haunted House. Other celebrations will be planned for the children on special days throughout the year. In service to "troubled teenagers" Circle K members will volunteer at an emergency children's shelter which tries to provide a temporary home for youngsters, ages 10 to 17, during times of crises. The club will also work with the DeKalb County school system to aid physically handicapped students. Because Circle K is an inter- collegiate organization, the Agnes Scott Circle K Club will participate with similar clubs at Georgia Tech, Emory, and even the University of Georgia. On October 3, eight members of the ASC Circle K club attended a state rally at Uniquo Park to promote the international theme. Members of the club will goto Presbyterian Towers to visit with the elderly. One project which is being considered by Circle K is the adopt - a - grandparent program. Through this program Agnes Scott students would "adopt" residents at Presbyterian Towers as "extra" grand- parents. The Agnes Scott Film Series will present The Graduate staring Anne Bancroft, Katherine Ross, and Dustin Hoffman, tomorrow evening at 7 and 9 p.m. in thefilm room in Buttrick. This 1967 movie won an academy award for best director. Musical score and lyrics were composed by Simon and Garfunkel. Admission is $1. Student Gretchen Lindsay spent last year in Germany. Abortion Discussed An "Abortion Rights" debate will be held October 13 at Georgia State University in the Student Center Room at 1 p.m. The moral, legal, and philosophical questions sur- rounding abortion will be ex- plored, raising such questions as "Does human life start at conception? Does the state have the right to dictate over an individual's body? and Is abor- tion murder? The speakers for the aeDait* will be Dr. James Humber, Ph. D. in Philosophy, who has written several articles against abortion and Pro-Choice speaker Linda Alcoff, a graduate student in philosophy. The debate is free and open to the public.

The event centered on the role women's studies could, and should, play in education. Florence Howe opened the Symposium Tuesday night, September 29, speaking on "The Futureof Women's Educa- tion and Women's Studies". She focused on the role of educa- tion as a source of power and as a means of change. She told of her conventional upbringing and the experiences that led her to change her childhood beliefs. As a freshman entering Hunter College, Ms. Howe in- tended to teach high school biology. She left for a career in academia and is now co - founder and president of The Feminist Press. Ms. Howe next gave suggestions on how education should incorporate women's studies into its present curriculum. To her, education must be tooled, and a body of scholarship must be developed about women and gender in all classes and cultures. She also suggested that the past achievements of women be re - evaluated and recognized. The role of women in history, art, economics and all subjects must be better, and more equal- ly, defined. The whole focus of education should change, not just for women, but for everyone. Ms. Howe said that for these measures to succeed, a college needs an informed curriculum and a willing faculty. Alice F. Emerson, President of Wheaton College, spoke at the Honor Convocation, Wednesday, September 30, on "Women's Education. History's Biggest Oil Field". Ms. Emerson first gave her three suggestions for changing education. The emerging knowledge of women throughout the ages should not be delegated to a separate academic field, she said. This new knowledge should be in- tegrated into every subject. She said that this will lead to the transformation of education. Women's colleges have a special role to play in this transformation because of their past history of leading the way in the education of women through giving women academic role models and alter- native choices. Also, the barriers to including women in the curriculum must be un- derstood and surmounted, she explained. Devaluating the achievements of women and student and faculty resistence are the two main barriers. Ms. Emerson said that "we have no choice about the inclusion of women in the curriculum". She concluded by warning that present - day forces are threatening academic freedom. Only a diverse society can prepare its citizens to vote and run society. Ms. Emerson believes that the twenty - first century will be a water shed in human history and that "ours is a trust to teach both the nature and fragility of freedom." A panel discussion held that afternoon inRebekahReception Room concluded the Sym- posium. Ms. Emerson and Ms. Howe, plus Ms. Barbara Carter, Spelman College; Ms. Diane Fowlkes, Georgia State; Ms. Carol Thigpin, Emory Universi- ty; and Ms. Margret Holt, Un- iversity of Georgia, participated on the panel. The panel answered questions ranging from the problems of integrating women's studies at Wheaton to the role of black women in women's studies. The inclusion of Georgia educators gave a local perspective on the issues raised by Ms. Howe's and Ms. Emerson's speeches and gave students, faculty and other participants more specific answers to their questions. The Symposium provoked many discussions among the faculty and students. Most were pleased at its results, although some students felt the issues were directed more to the administration and faculty and less to the students. Also, many professors and students were concerned about the lack of student attendance. The sup- port of everyone, including students is vital for the success of the "Women and Mindpower" Celebration. After all, it is our mindpower that is the focus for this celebration. iunch 'N Learn If you're a brown - bagger in the Midtown area, you can "Lunch 'N Learn" at Rhodes Hall starting October 14.

October 12, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 7 Blackfriars Prepare For "You Can't Take It With You" Several Scotties Are "Model" Students by Colleen O'Ne'H This fall the Agnes Scott Blackfriars will present Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's play You Can't Take It with Youl Dr. Brooking of the Theatre Department is directing the 1930's vintage comedy. The play concerns a seemingly crazy New York family whose daughter intends to marry the scion of respectable society. Various twists and mis- understandings leave the young couple in the midst of zany chaos, with a healthy chunk of good old American philosophy. Mr. Brooking is enthusiastic about the production. "This is a play I've seen, I've acted in, and I've always wanted to direct. Now I find it expecially exciting because of the Thirties nostalgia." The production will remain faithful to the time period of the original show. Set, prop, and costume crews are researching the period in books and old magazines. They carefully examine such depic- tions of the period as Norman Rockwell prints. Costumes and props are being rescued from attics and old trunks. All of this effort is being made to produce an authentic You Can't Take It With You! Dr. Brooking and the Blackfriars believe that the similarities between this time in American History and the pre- sent will give the play special appeal to an Eighties audience. Mr. Brooking says, "This play is especially timely now, when we too face high unemployment and a troubled economy." Blackfriars expect You Can't Take it with You! to be their collegiate camouflage s L E P P 0 T s E R F 0 X Y T M E C 0 X N U D T S L 0 D X S A A A 0 E T A B A R C E 0 0 U R N G T N M R 0 B I M R C R B T 0 A L A S B A 0 E V I 0 T P I P T G B A I T R 0 T D N W 0 A T E P I L T D P V Y 0 A Y E L S R D M S R E E T A G N X N L U V E S E A X I R E F E 0 A A R N E T S T V T N A 0 I R T W T R D E V I A C E P T L P N S U B M F R 0 Y E F A C I 0 N D R E S P A N X Y V N A L 0 T S N 0 M M U S Y 0 T A E V A N T H E S I H C N A R F C R 0 W Can you find the hidden legal terms ?

Cast member Cayce Calloway says. "This show is great fun! The cast and crew are really having a great time and I believe that this will be shared by the audience when the show opens." Senior Jenny Howell echos Cayce's enthusiasm, "I'm having a lot of fun doing this show. It's really a terrific ex- perience." This kind of enthusiasm from the cast, Dr. Brookingbelieves.will infectthe audience when the play runs October 30 and 31, and November 6 and 7. "I am quite convinced that this is one of the great American comedies. We have a splendid cast and crew setting it into action. Everyone is having a lot of fun and showing a tremendous amount of enthusiasm." Achievement Tests Defended New York, N.Y.-(I.P.) - "If it is only natural for people to dislike tests, especially ones that play an important part in deter- mining their future oppor- tunities and rewards, so it is also natural for people responsible for making admissions decisions and the like to seize upon a seemingly objective, numerical criterion as a glorious convenient way of simplifying the judgments they must make," reports President Richard W. Lyman of the Rockefeller Foundation. "No such defender of testing maintains that the SATs, LSATs, MCATs and the rest constitute a sufficient basis, by themselves, for making these judgments. There does appear to be a serious problem in a good many law schools, where the LSAT may constitute three quarters or more of the weighted 'score' by which applicants are judged. "In my personal experience, I have seen high test scores rescue applicants who would otherwise have fallen by the wayside through spotty academ ic records or backgrounds of deprivation and disadvantage. "If the reverse sometimes occurs, and the inroads of grade inflation or absence of decent standards of academic achievement in some schools are exposed by weak test scores, that is not necessarily bad for the schools, for society, or even for the rejected can- didates, who will surely gain little by the experience of a failure later on that could and should have been predicted." by Mary MacKinnon Several students at Agnes Scott find the time to increase their income through modeling. Although none of the girls want to seriously pursue a career as a model, they all said that model- ing is a fun job and a great experience. As director of Madrigals and of the Black Cat production, a member of London Fog, and a little sister at KA, Mary Jane Golding still finds time to model. She models evening and debutante dresses for Atlanta designer Patricia Green while her mother sews the clothing designs for Patricia Green. Mary Jane says that once a month she has a photo session in which she models dresses that will go into a portfolio for store buyers. She says that she really enjoys what she is doing now, although it can be "tiring" to stand in four inch heels all day." Kimberly Kennedy became involved in modeling as a result of participating in pageants, such as the Junior Miss Pageant. She has modeled in fashion shows for stores such as J. P. Allen and Belks and has also done a photo pamphlet for Holiday Inn. Kim says she is more interested in pageants than actual modeling. Last spring, she was first runner - up in the Atlanta Dogwood Festival Pageant. Now she is busily preparing for the Miss DeKalb County Pageant in January, which is a preliminary for the Miss Georgia Pageant. Kim wants to enter the field of broadcasting, and she feels that participating in pageants will be an important advantage for her because broadcasting is very competitive and that her pageant experience will help to set her apart from everyone else. Cindy White has had many different types of modeling jobs. She has modeled for Neiman Marcus in Houston, has done a billboard ad for Hawaiian Tropic which appeared in Miami and also "dining room" modeling which is modeling at formal and infor- mal luncheons and teas. Cindy says that during Christmas break this year she will be modeling furcoats for Foley's in Houston. Cosmetics is her major interest. As a French major, she is hoping to use this language to help her get "a foot in the door" of the cosmetics rndustry. Cindy would like to get into the promotional aspect of an inter- national cosmetics line. She would like to go to Paris because all of the major cosmetic companies are located there. Cindy hopes to spend her Junior Year in Paris in Cindy's dream. This will enable her to become fluent in the French language, which she will need if she fulfills her goal to work in one of the major cosmetic companies located in Paris. Jennifer Cooper and Kim Fortinberry share many things in common. Besides being roommates, they both model for the same agency, Karen Massel and Associates, which is located in the Atlanta Apparel Mart. Jennifer recently posed for a future advertisement for Coca - Cola and the Junior Miss Pageant. Both Jennifer and Kim began modeling in fashion shows, but lately they have been doing a lot of work in front of the camera. Both girls have gone to many photo workshops. In these workshop sessions they have the oppor- tunity to work with different photographers while gaining experience in front of the camera. They learn how well they photograph from different angles and what poses photograph best. Kim and Jen- nifer have both been putting together their separate port- folios. They both remark that portfolios are very expensive and that since to begin photographic work a portfolio is necessary, just getting into modeling costs a fortune.

A Duke University doctor has recommended that women tak- ing birth control pills exercise moderately to increase amounts of a blood protein that helps counter potentially dangerous blood clots. Dr. Salvatore Pizzo based his advice on research showing that women who develop blood clots while taking oral con- traceptives were six times more likely to have low levels of the blood protein than women without clots. Pizzo and his co - workers found that women who exer- cised moderately had higher amounts of the protein than less active women. The protei n , called plasminogen activator, normal- ly is released to initiate a process that leads to the breakdown of a clot before it causes any harm. Blood clotting is one dangerous side effect of birth control pills. Studies show that about 20 out of every 10,000 pill users develop clots. About 200 to 300 women pill users die annually- from these clots, which may cause heart attacks, strokes, or break off and lodge in the arteries leading to the lungs.

October 19, 1981 Students Decide Parietal Issue by Kimberley Kennedy Last Tuesday, after a called student body meeting, the amendment to extend parietal hours on Saturday and Sunday until 6:00 p.m. and to allow for Friday parietals, passed by a large margin, 196, of students. The student body meeting was called in response to a petition submitted to student body president, Peggy Davis. The petition, which only op- posed the hours of Friday parietals, was signed by over 70 people. Interestingly, the entire number of students who voted in opposition to the amendment was only 44. Student apathy was not the case for this particular amend- ment with 243 people attending. Obviously, this was an issue of importance to the majority of students, whether for or against. Anita Barbee, a senior, cited several reasons as to why she voted against Friday parietals: "I see this as a first step in allowing 24 hour male visitation." The future is what concerns Anita the whole concept of what will happen hereafter. She also says she "would have gone elsewhere had I wanted something less than the tradition of Agnes Scott." On the other hand, Jeanie Morris, a Junior and Student Admissions Representative saw the issue in a different perspec- "Arts Evenings" Planned by Kitsie Bassett "One of Arts Council's goals this year is to make Agnes Scott students more aware of the cultural and artistic events in Atlanta," commented Susan Mead, Arts Council Chairman. One way Arts Council will pursue this goal is to sponsor an Arts Evening each quarter. An opening night trip to the Atlanta ballet will be offered fall quarter, and winter and spring quarters may involve the Atlanta Symphony and Alliance Theatre. Before departing as a group to each event, the Coun- cil will host a party. The opening night trip to the Atlanta Ballet will be Friday, October 23. Arts Council will get a block of 25 seats for $5.50 each. To sign up, see Susan Mead or any other Arts Council member. To help the Council plan their ballet trip, Nancy Saunders volunteer coordinator of the Atlanta Ballet, visited their Oc- tober 5 meeting. Ms. Saunders reported that there would be five performances this season, including the Nutcracker at the Fox, December 2-6. All other performances will be held at the Civic Center. She emphasized that student season subscrip- tion price is only $16.50, which means only $3.30 for each performance. The opening per- formance is October 23 - 24. National Mortar Recognizes Alda, H by Kay MacKenzle National Director of Expansion The National Council has announced that there will be two recipients of the 1982 National Citation Award. Actor and feminist Alan Alda and Judge Shirley Mount Hufstedler will receive the triennial award during the National Con- ference, July 26 - Auqust 1. in ' Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Alda and Mrs. Hufstedler have both been notified that the 1981 chapters of Mortar Board selected them to be recognized fortheirdistinguished contribu- tion to the nation within the ideals of scholarship, leadership and service. Both recipients have been asked to address the delegates at the Other dates this season are Nov. 20-21, Mar. 19 - 20, and April 16-17. For more informa- tion call 873-581 1 or S.E.A.T.S. This season, the 36 member company will perform works such as Giselle, Firebird, Sylvia Pas de Deux, Charleston and Square Dance. Robert Barnett, the artistic director, was the American head coach at the International Ballet Competi- tion in Moscow, where American dancers brought home gold medals. Ms. Saunders described the com- pany as "simply magic," and added that this season they will merit as "world class." Board ufstedler National Conference on a matter of concern to them, Mr. Alda on the advancement of the status of women and Mrs. Hufstedler on the respon- sibilities of educated leadership. The Council hopes that Mr. Alda and Mrs. Hufstedler will be able to accept the award at the National Con- ference. More Women Are College Grads eclipse their male counterparts WASHINGTON D.C. (CPS) - Women continue to account for a larger and larger percen- tage of the graduates of American colleges and univer- sities, says a new survey by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Though the total number of degree recipients is expected to start to decline next year, NCES predicts the percentage of female grads will continue up- ward until women numerically by the middle of the decade. "There are more women than men enrolled in college today," explains Tom Snyder, an NCES education programs specialist, "and that's not likely to change." Women became the majority of students only in 1980. "The enrollment rate of women graduating from high school has been increasing, while the rate among men has been steadily decreasing." "If this kind of trend con- tinues," he points out, "the number of female graduates should surpass the number of male grads by the 1985 - 86 school year." The NCES also found there was an increase in the number of degrees awarded to members of both sexes in 1 979 - 80. Some 1,342,129 students graduated, up about 7000 from the previous year. It was the first increase in the number of graduates since 1976. tive: "Working with applicants, I found that the right to have limited male visitation was very much desired by girls interested in coming here. If Agnes Scott had remained stagnant and refused to change with the time, we'd still be dancing with women and still be wearing white gloves to dinner at five." In any case, the issue has been decided by the student body. The next step will be the decision of the Administrative Council and Board of Trustees. Should they pass the amend- ment, Friday parietals and the extension of Saturday and Sun- day parietals will go into effect Spring quarter, 1982, possibly sooner.

Page 2 The Agnes Scott Profile October 19, 1981 Behind Door Four by Peggy Davis Last week, I wrote on change. I regretfully admit that I was thinking of change in a more objective sense. In other words, I had no idea that this week would bring a change in me. But thanks to you, I have gratefully suffered a change in attitude about Agnes Scott students. The topic of student apathy is a touchy one. The lack of involvement and interest in ASC's organizations and events is an issue which has bothered many. And the reason for its occurence are many and com- plex some specifically related to ASC and others to college students in general. To me, this problem had no solu- tion. Scott would always have a low percentage of students participating and supporting her activities. But like I said, you changed my attitude. First of all, there was Black Cat. I have never witnessed so many different campus groups diligently working to bring a uniting spirit. Thanks should go to Marjory Sivewright and Mor- tar Board; Cathy Garrigues and Spirit Committee; Mary Jane Golding and those involved with the production; Kitty Cralle and Social Council; the Black Cat Judges John Gignilliat, Frances Calder, Lee Copple, and Sarah Ripy; the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes as well as their faculty class sponsors; Bonnie Etheridge, Mollie Merrick and Orientation Council; and all the faculty and administration who participated in the Black Cat festivities. Then of course my disparag- ing view was disproved as over 70 students took the time and cared enough to monitor Rep's Parietal amendment decision by petitioning. As if that weren't enough, 243 of you attended the Oct. 13 student body meeting. Despite midterms, colds and dates, you came to vote. The RC172 amendment will pass with 196 in favor, 44 opposed and 3 abstentions. Now it will await Administrative Com- mittee and Board of Trustee approval before the new hours go into effect. I look forward to dispelling my attitude completely as students continue to support the Woman's Year activities, the Kirk Concert Series as well as lecture committee and SGA club - sponsored programs. I am glad to say good - bye to the attitude that as ASC students, we are only educated in the classroom. We know that in order to become totally enlightened persons, the classroom must extend to the entire campus and community arena. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Your editorial concerning Black Cat struck a responsive chord in me, particularly the part about black cat activities making one want to lock everything up. I've been tempted at times, but this time someone did it for me and quite a few others. Monday morning (Oct. 12) I went down to check my mailbox to find it locked and Mrs. Booch all upset. Apparently thinking it would be a cute Black Cat prank, aimed at fellow students, this person slammed shut a good 300 boxes. Con- sidering that most of us leave our boxes open for the con- Better Late Than Never The Mary Wallace Kirk Fund supports all of the arts, not just music, as implied in the article concerning the Kirk Music Series, published Sept. 14, 1981 College historian Dr. Edward McNair informed me that Presi- dent McCain was a layman, not a Presbyterian minister when he accepted the presidency of Agnes Scott. This was incorrectly stated in the first issue. venience of not having to monkey around with or even learn our combinations, closing all those little doors turns out to be more trouble for the post office people who have to open them again than for the "owners" of the boxes. Pranks such as those men- tioned in your article could be, as you say, eliminated. But at least those mainly concern dorm life and are, for the most part, expected by those who live there. Mischief as done by the Mailroom Slammer, though, should definitely be off limits. Sincerely, Chris Gill by Laurie McBrayer Yes, there is life after Scott and over 100 alumnae will beon campus between thisThursday, Oct. 22 and Saturday, Oct. 24 to prove it. Alumnae Admissions Representatives will arrive on campus Thursday and class officers, club officers, and fund officers will arrive Friday. The Alumnae Council will convene Friday and the Executive com- mittee will meet Saturday. Ac- cording to a recent report by President of the Alumnae Council, Jackie Simmons Gow '52, this weekend "allows key. alumnae leaders to return to the campus to see what is going on and to have interaction with the students and faculty." And now to my point. Agnes Scott alum- nae contribute greatly to this College; yet, because of limited contact with students they do not receive the thanks that they deserve. Certainly, President Perry, Dr. Paul McCain, director of development, and Mrs. Virginia Brown McKenzie '47, Alumnae director, thank them, but their gifts directly benefit us. This coming weekend is a perfect opportunity for students to convey their gratitude for the active Alumnae interest in the growth of the College. The success of these alum- nae and their devotion to Agnes Scott is encouraging. Alumnae contributed almost $600,000 to Agnes Scott for 1980-81 . Nearly 3000 active alumnae con- tributed this amount. Laura Whitner Dorsey '35 was the Alumnae Fund Chairman. The money donated by alumnae went toward the Agnes Scott Fund and the Million Dollar Challenge Fund. Alumnae are responsible for last year's redecoration of the Hub and are now busy raising funds for renovation of Campbell Hall. Alumnae work with the development office, the ad- missions office and the career planning office. They are responsible for upkeep of the lovely alumnae garden and of the Anna Young Alumnae House. All of these con- tributions seem to imply that Agnes Scott had a significant effect on these women's lives. Do not miss the opportunity to speak to an alumna. This summer I worked in the alum- nae office and had the oppor- tunity to meet graduates from a fifty year span - 1927 to 1977. They all are inspiring. Agnes Scott graduates tend to have a thirst for learning and a general enthusiasm that is unique. Their accomplishments are respec- table and their reminiscings are often amusing. Agnes Scott grads are interested in us. The least we can do is to reciprocate that interest. Black Cat Activities End To all Scotties, faculty and staff, I have two reasons for writing this letter, one to correct a mistake and one to give thanks. First, I want to announce that the winners of the Decorations category for the Black Kitty award are: 1st - Class of 1983, 2nd - Class of 1984 and 3rd - Class of 1982. There was some confusion on Friday night and I thought I should clear the air. Congratulations. Next, I want to say THANK YOU for a wonderful Black Cat. Many people worked very hard for last week's festivities and I truly appreciate your efforts. We all owe a special thanks to the Junior Class and my fellow Mortar Board members. But, most of all I want to thank the student body as a whole for participating and getting in the spirit of one of Agnes Scott's favorite traditions. Black Cat is a time for sisterhood within and between the classes. It was really fun to be part of the senior class who put our last efforts into winning the Black Kitty and won. We joined together as never before. We all know each other better and have more memories to share after ourfun. The members of the class of '85 are officially Scotties now and Black Cat is a time for the upperclassmen to get to know and welcome the freshmen. And, just as important, the Sundance Kids should meet the Sailors, Boy Scouts, and Peppermint Patties. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves at the bonfire, games, picnic, production and dance. As a senior, I can say each year Black Cat has meant more to me. I hope you can say the same your senior year. Thanks again. Marjory Sivewright Need to Scalp Some Tickets? mi .

Cassidy, founder of the two - year - old company that uses computers to provide college students with individualized lists of grant sources, did quite a bit of scholarship sleuthing for himself while he was in college. "I was able to attend the Univer- sity of San Francisco and Yale on $20,000 in grants," said Cassidy, "but even with that much money, I still had to sell my car to finish." In fact, there were - and are - all kinds of scholarships available. For example: A Seattle judge set up a scholarship for reformed prostitutes. A Pennsylvania college offers four scholarships to needy left - handers. The University of Arizona has scholarships for rodeo riders. A Texas foundation offers scholarships of up to $2500 to help foster better relations between the citizens of the Lone Star State and the people of Sweden. The trick, of course, is finding out about those and other kinds of aids. Cassidy advises students to make use of all local scholarship reference sources. "Start with your financial aid office, then your instructors and Freshmen Become Oriented From Arrival to Black Cat local clubs and business organizations. These people generally know what's going on in the community," says Cassidy. His company, National Scholarship Research Service (NSRS), assists graduate and undergraduate students in locating scholarship sources in their field of interest. Of the $1 billion in educational assistance offered last year, $135 million went unclaimed. "Most," said Cassidy, "simply because people didn't know who was offering it." NSRS charges a $35 process- ing fee for its research service. Cassidy says that an applicant generally receives from 30 to 50 scholarship sources on their printout, along with additional listings of organizations that have further information on the applicants career fields.

Page 4 The Agnes Scott Profile October 19, 1981 Hepburn Aids Marcus In Election Run-Off by Peggy Schweers The day after the mayoral election Val Hepburn was already fast at work cam- paigning for Sidney Marcus. Phone in hand, she tried to persuade a friend, a member of Reginald Eaves' campaign staff to endorse Marcus in the run - off election, October 21. Val Hepburn is a paid member of Sydney Marcus' staff, and has been since June. Why did she choose Marcus out of such a wide variety of candidates? Answering that question takes some backtracking. For the past two years, Val has worked with Cathy Steinberg a Democratic representative for DeKalb in the state legislature. Through this job with Ms. Steinberg she met and worked with Sydney Mar- cus. Val became familiar with his work and qualifications as mayor. He began the strong part of his campaign in the beginning of June and Val joined in as a volunteer nearthe end of June. Val explains "I felt like he would be a very good mayor. Val is a member of the class of 1983 and is a political science major. She will continue to work with Cathy Steinberg after the run - off election. Her prime project will be to insure passage of the ERA in the coming session of the legislature (beginning in January). ForVal, the passage of the ERA is "of the utmost importance." She hopes that the women of the legislature such as herself, have shown a good example as hard workers to help support grow. Val's participation in the political arena is more than just an interest. She hopes to enter politics in the state legislature. This type of experience is invaluable for her own purposes in the future. Already she has contacts through work. Working for Sydney Marcus, Val feels that she is helping the best candidate for the mayor's seat. "It's going to be a rough run - off," according to Val because the results depend on the sway of the votes from Eaves' and Shulman's sup- Dorters as well as * large voter turn - out city wide. And Val will be working to sway those votes. Atlanta is an important city, not only for the Southeast but for the whole country." In reference to Marcus' hopes to unify the white and black com- munities in the city, Val believes Marcus "has the contacts to bring it together." As the election drew closer, Val became a full time member of Marcus' staff; she arranged transportation of elderly voters, supervised the distribution of leaflets and a "massive phone call campaign."

"In addition to finally firming up the schedule, we were delighted to learn that the American Ballet Theatre has added two major soloists to its Atlanta performance, Alex- ander Godunov, whose defec- tion from the Bolshoi Ballet gave America a magnificent new dancer, and Leslie Browne, whose stunning performance in the fitms, "THE TURNING POINT" and "NAJINSKY" has probably done more to orient the public toward the beauty of ballet than any other dancer since "RED SHOES". "Although this is a tirm schedule, as of this writing, all ballet performance schedules are subject to change," explain- ed Mr. Manos. "You can never predict when someone might have a problem that could cause a change." All evening performances are at 8:30 P.M. and matinee perfor- mances are at 2:30 P.M.

Kathryn Hart (Dean Gary) dis- cusses dorm life as student Melanie Roberts observes. by Elaine Banister Another successful year of Black Cat activities drew to a close Saturday night at the Black Cat Dance. There was a large turn out for the party which was held in the Phoenix /Condor ballroom of the Hyatt - Regency Hotel. Music provided by the Kays, combined with an assortment of hors d'oeuvres produced an enjoyable evening for everyone who attended. The dance capped off a number of traditional Black Cat events which began oh Thursday, with the Bonfire and Song Competi- tion. Spirit and rivalry were abun- dant Thursday night as each of the classes gathered around the bonfire. Class cheerleaders led spirit chants and cheers amid the clamor of cowbells and whistles. The song competition began with the exchange of sister class songs between the seniors and sophomores, followed by the juniors and freshmen. Each class sang their song twice. Following the song competition, the sophomores sang their song guessing the freshmen class mascot. The bonfire ended with the freshmen's song revealing their mascot and confirming the sophomores' guess. The freshmen chose the Sundance Kid as their mascot. The Black Cat games were held Friday afternoon in the quad. Although the rain made playing conditions less than desirable, the classes made up for this with their display of enthusiasm. Some of the games participated in were: the baseball bat relay, the water balloon toss, a tug - of - war, and a sister - class field hockey game. Later Friday night, classes met in Presser for the singing of class songs, the awards presen- tation, and the long - awaited Black Cat Production. The awards presented were as follows: Overall Participation and Spirit, Class of 82; decorations, Class of '83; games - third place, Class of '83 second place, class of '84, fir c place, Class of '82; song com- petition, Class of '84. The Black Kitty was presented to the seniors. Following the awards ceremony was the Black Cat Production, sponsored by the Junior Class and produced and directed by Mary Jane Golding The play spoofed many aspects of Scott life and was patterned after the musical "Grease." It depicted the trials and tribulations of freshmen al Scott in the mid - 50's, ranging from misplaced English papers to experiences at fraternity parties. Most of these problem* still exist today - and not ex- clusively for freshmen, so th play was extremely funny. The class of '83 presented a silver plate to President and Mrs. Perry. A campus - wide party spon- sored by Mortar Board was held after the production and Black Cat activities ended the follow- ing night attheformal Black Cat dance. Bonnie Armstrong (Miss McKemie) and Carle Cato (Mrs. Pepperdene) sing about "Kids." Jody Stone (Mr. Byrnslde) plays drop the needle for "hit lovet."

Spirit Committee has yet to choose its freshmen represen- tatives, whose names will be kept a secret until they are announced winter quarter. Blackfriars Open With Comedy "You Can't Take It With You," a rollicking comedy of the 1930s brings together the Sycamore family and their assorted friends, shown here at a family sing - a - long. Agnes Scott talent pictured in this scene from the Blackfriars' production are (left to right) Andrea Wofford (standing^ Cayce Callaway, Margaret Clark (seated) and Professor Paul Kuznesof. Newspaper headlines report breadlines, relief checks and the New Deal, but the poverty - stricken Sycamore family of artists and inventors is not to be repressed in the exuberant comedy of the 1930's, "You Can't Take It With You." The Agnes Scott Blackfriars will present this Pulitzer Prize- winning play by Kaufman and Hart Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 6, 7 at 8:15 p.m. in the Winter Theatre of the Dana Fine Arts Building. For tickets, call 377-1200. Working from paintings by Norman Rockwell and films and photographs from the 1930's, director Jack Brooking of the Agnes Scott Theatre Depart- ment has contrasted the grim economic and social realities of the Great Depression with the warm family life of a group of unique individuals. "We hope," Brooking said, "our audience will emerge laughing and with some fresh ideas about what life should be all about." According to Brooking the smorgasbord of characters in "You Can't Take It With You" "has tickled the American funny bone since its debut on Broadway in the mid - 1930s." Atlanta actors cast in this production are George Bowl- ing, Arthur Freeman, Jack Hall, Charles Harper, Philistia Pitt- man, Leonard Shinew and Charles Westmoreland. From the Decatur area are James Jarboe, Paul Kuznesof, Ray McKinnon and John Pilger. From Agnes Scott are Caminade Bosley, Cayce Calloway, Margaret Clark, Jen- ny Howell, Lisa Willoughby and Andrea Wofford. Page 2 he Agnes Scott Profile October 26, 1981 Gray Matters : Defining the issue Impassivity, insensibility, un- responsiveness, lethargy, in- ertness. Now, Agnes Scott students, have a new way to express apathy by using any of these synonyms. Since this term is used so often on cam-, pus, I though it would benicetoi have another way to discuss that dreaded, rampant disease. Last week S.G.A. President Peggy Davis was able to ruffle her feathers following the tremendous turn - out at the called student body meeting. This meeting concerned the parietal amendment to extend and add hours for male visita- tion. Nearly half of the student body attended and despite the petition indicating some stu- dent disapproval, the amend- ment was passed. Less than 24 hours later another important meeting con- cerning students was held. But unlike Tuesday's meeting the attendance was very poor. Only 21 students attended the presidential search convoca- tion held especially forstudents at the same time faculty con- vened to discuss the same topic. SGA president Peggy Davis, junior class president Kathryn Hart, and sophomore class president Kappy Wilkes are student representatives on the presidential search com- mittee. They all stressed that members of this committee are very interested in knowing what kind of president Agnes Scott students desire. One of the purposes of this convocation was to accept student input on this issue. This goal was not easily reached as a result of the poor student body representa- tion at this meeting. The lack of student interest regarding the ASC president beginning the 1982 school term, shows iust how apathetic Agnes Rnntt students can be. The College President affects the growth of the school and is the communi- ty representative of the College. Alumnae, faculty, ad- ministration, and trustees who respect the College are in- terested in finding a good president. But, undoubtedly their priorities differ from ours. It is imperative that students consider what qualities they would like to see the next president possess. Do students want a layman, educator, Presbyterian, minister, man or woman as the next President? Should the next president be conservative, (respectful of ASC traditions), or liberal, (in- terested in change)? Communicate your thoughts regarding this topic to one of the student representatives. Do not force them to guess what the student body really wants in a president. Alumna Describes Black Cat To the Editor, As a student at Agnes Scott I sometimes felt Black Cat was very humiliating and immature. After all, what other college do you know that has anything like Black Cat. But on the other hand, most colleges do have fraternities and sororities, which if it be known, probably have some traditions which may also appear to an outsider as "immature" or "ridiculous." I can also sympathize with students who feel that the timing (around mid-terms) adds extra pressure, and heaven knows those students who put time in on production and other activities sometimes find their academics sliding behind. I also can understand that the faculty feels that valuable academic time is being wasted. Fouryears may seem like a long time, but after you're out you realize you could have learned more. Okay, I've sympathized with The Agnes Scott Profile THE PROFILE it published weekly throughout the college yea* by student! of Agnei Scott College.

As an alum, I don't remember what test, what paper, what project, etc. was due the day of, or before, or after any of the Black Cat activities in my four years. I don't remember the pressure I felt trying to study and participate and rehearse for production at the same time. What I do remember is the time my drawers got switched with all the other freshmen on the hall, my room was strung with string, and all the running around campus either hiding or trying to find the mascot. I also remember the closeness I felt with the other classes at the bonfire, the class songs, and the laughs at the production. What I am trying to say is before you decide if you're going to abolish a tradition, weigh the alternatives. Are a few inconveniences in the present worth many warm memories in the future? Sincerely, Debbie Boelter '80 Attention All Organizations Attention all organiza- tion heads: Please don't forget to post notices in the hub so RTC's and day students can keep in- formed about your ac- tivities. Behind Door Four by Peggy Davis First, there was the Parietal amendment. Now, there seems to be another controversy creeping up about the solution to the campus parking problem. Not that I'm afraid of controversy, nor do I think controversy is not productive; but in this case, no controversy is necessary. Catalyst, a committee compsed of one Rep Council member and four other non - Rep Council members, is trying to remedy the problem. Catalyst brought their recommendations for change to the Rep Council meeting on October 13 and Rep voted to support their proposal of freshmen parking in the South Candler lot (14 in favor, 5 opposed, and 4 abstentions ). Catalyst would have taken this recommendation to President Perry who would have consulted the faculty, staff and administration before he wuld have made any changes. Now that students have voiced disapproval of Catalyst's plans, Catalyst must re - evaluate and plan a new policy. Your suggestions for a new policy should be directed to Denise Leary, Rep member of Catalyst or'Ginger Lyon, Chairman of Catalyst. So, there is no need for controversy for you have the opportunity to voice your opinions to Catalyst. Plus, no changes will be made until all students, faculty, administration, and staff agree on a workable policy. Until some new plan is implemented, the old policy is in effect. That policy is located on pages 26 - 27 in your student handbook. Part of it reads, "With the cooperation of all motor vehicle operators on campus, it is believed that large numbers of specific parking restrictions are not needed." And maybe if this old policy of "cooperation" is used, then no new policy will even be necessary and no now controversy will arise. Dean Gary Solicits Student Concern Dear Agnes Scott Students: In many classrooms in But- trick Hall, I have found a number of advertisements at- tached to the walls. The same notices may appear in other places of which I an not aware. The notices have been actually stapled into the walls in some classroom areas. As I am sure you know, a staple cannot be removed from the wall without doing permanent damage. In some instances, the adver- tisements are attached to the walls with tape which causes the paint to peel when the tape is removed. I am very concern- ed that someone is causing this damage to a newly renovated facility. The notices themselves are of two kinds. The first kind is a perfectly legitimate notice. These are advertisements for educational discounts on various publications. There are also some notices of special "cram courses" available to students preparing for Graduate Record Exams, LSAT, and like examinations. It would certainly be perfectly proper that such advertisements be available to college students if they were placed in proper positions. The second kind of notice, however, causes me great con- cern. There are tear - off pads stapled to the walls advertising "research papers." I am sure that most of you realize that the use of such services is absolute- ly against our Honor System. The notice proposes to list several thousand entries which are available to students in a catalogue. I feel that it is quite beneath the dignity and integri- ty of Agnes Scott students for such information to even appear on our campus. I have talked with Mr. Evans, Chief of the College Police, about this problem. We do not know how these notices came to be on the bulletin boards and walls in Buttrick Hall. I ask your help both now and in the future to see that such materials as the research paper advertisement are never posted on the campus and to see that other legitimate advertisements are placed without destruction to our buildings. Sincerely yours, Julia T. Gary Dean Camera Buffs . . . Everyone is welcome to come to the Profile meeting this evening at 6:30 p.m. in the Rebekah Recreation Room to hear Atlanta photo chief Minla Lin speak about her career and suggest ways to improve news- photography. October 26, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 3 Seriously Folks . . . Hardy's Works Presented / "An Evening with Thomas lovers." The Droaram has (BBC) A fpiinw nf t by W. Burlette Carter As the Presidential Search Committee begins its work of finding a new President for Agnes Scott, it faces a task of enormous proportions. Surely, to find anyone with the charm and ad- ministrative capabilities of President Perry (or perhaps with as charming a partner as Mrs. Perry) will be a difficult task. But the task facing the committee is an opportunistic as it is enormous, for the decision made by the committee will directly affect the direction of Agnes Scott in this and future decades. For this reason, it is imperative that the Committee seriously consider all of its options for the future including the option of having a female president. Few in the College community, I think, would suggest that in choosing our Predident, we should just pick a man, any man. Thus, I think it equally ludicrous to suggest that our first priority should be to find a woman, any woman. But just as there are qualified men capable of taking on the enormous task of a college presidency, there are also qualified women who could perform the job extremely well. In addition, a female President, because she would be a woman, and a very accomplished one, would probably bring with her administrative capabilities a refreshing experience, outlook and direction, all of which, I think, can be crucial assets in the future of Agnes Scott and other colleges dedicated to women's education across the country. Of course, there are many issues which must bed raised when considering this option. Some persons argue that finding qualified women is a difficult task much greater than finding men qualified for the job. These same persons add that such accomplished women may have more tempting options than a college presiden- cy. While it may be true that because administrative opportunities have only fairly recently been truly open to women, women with such experience and qualifications are fewer in number than their male counterparts, such women do exist, and if we don't look for them, we'll never know whether or not they have more tempting offers. If we insist on simply looking, into the barrel of the "qualified" from a hole in its side we will indeed find that most of its contents are men, at least as far as we can see from our limited view. If we are truly open to the idea of having a female president (and I think we should be) we will have to survey the full contents of the barrel, even kick the thing over if necessary. Certainly, we cannot ignore one all - important consideration in choosing our president the financial consideration. I recognize that the College's financial security depends a great deal on the effectiveness of its president in dealing with financial supporters. I have heard the fear expressed that a woman might not be accepted as easily as a man in the Atlanta business community, or by other financial supporters of the College. Some wierdos, excuse me, I mean, some who disagree with me, have felt that soliciting money was an inappropriate role for a woman. I won't dignify the second comment with an answer. As for the first, I doubt if our financial supporters will faJI into a swoon should we decide that for the first time in our ninety - two year history this women's college will have a woman as President because we deem her qualified to handle the job. (We might even gain supporters with this step). In addition, I should think that a person qualified enough to gain the favorof the Search Committee, would certainly be equipped to deal with problems which she might encounter in seeking to insure a future of continued financial security for the College. As the committee considers its options for the future of Agnes Scott, so should the students of the College. While the task facing us is an enormous one, it is also one that presents a wonderful opportunity, not just an opportunity to name a female president, but an opportunity to find a person, male or female, who can continue and expand upon the work of President Perry and his predecessors. I have no problems in saying that I would love to see that person turn out to be a woman not because of anything that we could do for her, but because of what she could do for us. On the other hand, I want to see an effective president. I trust that the committee will consider all of its options carefully in making the final decision. Campbell's Curios On Sale Agnes Scott College's science "junque" may be your treasure. The college is prepar- ing to renovate its science building and will sell old curios and equipment Saturday, Oct. 31, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. "Jewels in the rough" that will go on sale includea 1930'ssoda cooler, a claw - footed bathtub, animal cages, aquariums, an- tique analytical balances, old electronics equipment, a mimeograph machine, mis- cellaneous furniture, and car- tons full of assorted glassware including flasks, old olive jars, antique milk bottles and curio pieces which could become decorative art. The science sale will be held off Dougherty Street in Decatur in the parking lot immediately behind the science building. "An Evening with Thomas Hardy," a program featuring illustrations from this British writer's novels and poems, will be presented this Thursday. British broadcasting talents Desmond Hawkins, Pauline Wynn and Douglas Leach will portray Hardy's turn - of - the - century world with a combina- tion of dramatic readings and narrative. The program will begin at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. The Hardy Society describes "An Evening with Thomas Har- dy" as a real treat for Hardy lovers." The program has toured literary festivals across England. Hardy's novels and poems reflect the British school of naturalism in their focus on characters' confrontation with the irresistable forces of nature. He is the author of the novels "Far From the Maddening Crowd" and "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," and of the epic drama, "The Dvnasts." Hawkins, narrator of the presentation, is a critic, novelist and long time producer with the British Broadcasting Company (BBC). A fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, he has written two books on Hardy. Ms. Wynn, as a member of the Old Vic Theatre Company, has acted in "Peer Gynt" and "Richard III" underthedirection of Tyrone Guthrie, John Burrell and Laurence Olivier. She writes radio plays and documentaries for BBC. Leach, as an actor, has specialized in Wessex character parts, notably in dramatizations of Hardy's novels. Leach often broadcasts with BBC in its series of poetry programs. WFA Sponsors ERA Debate by W. Burlette Carter Two of Georgia's state leader in the battle over the Equal Rights Amendment will debate the issue on the ASC campus on Wednesday, November 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rebekah Recep- tion Room. The debate, spon- sored by Working for Awareness, the campus' public issues organization, will feature Joyce Parker, immediate past President and present Legislative Liaison for ERA Georgia and Lee Wysong, the State Coordinator of Georgia's STOP ERA. The debate represents one of Working for Awareness' plann- ed contributions to the "Women and Mindpower" celebration, Agnes Scott's year - long focus on Women and the issues which concern them. The debate will consider the question "Should the Equal Rights Amendment be added to the United States Constitution?" and will it follow a format which synthesizes the formal rules of the National Forensics League with a The debate represents one of Working for Awareness' plann- ed contributions to the "Women and Mindpower" celebration, Agnes Scott's year - long focus on Women and the issue which conern them. The debate will consider the question "Should the Equal Rights Amendment be added to the United States Constitution?" and will follow a format which synthesizes the formal rules of the National Forensics League with a "ques- tion and answer" type format. The format consists essen- tially of three parts. In the first, speakers will each give a seven - minute opening statement and a three minute rebuttal. Part two consists of questions directed to the speakers from a four - member panel consisting of two students and two faculty members. According to WFA President, Burlette Carter, the organization has tried to get a balance of conservative and liberal views on the panel. Three of the four panelists have been selected. The complete panel will be announced later. The third and final part of the debate will consist of questions from the audience. The College com- munity and its visitors are encouraged to express their views and ask their questions during this period. According to WFA's Presi- dent the debate is expected to last a little over one hour and a half. Timekeepers will be pre- sent to insure that speakers observe time limitations. This ERA debate is one of three which WFA plans to sponsor this year. A second debate scheduled for Winter quarter will focus on the pros and cons of the abortion issue. The Week in Review by Valerie Hepburn Only ten days after the assassination of one of the Middle East's greatest leaders, Egypt's Anwar Sadat, came the death of one of the past leaders in the Middle East, Moshe Dayan. Dayan, former defense minister and former Prime Minister of Israel died of a heart attack Friday, October 1 6, at the age of 66. For 30 years, Dayan had been Israel's soldier - statesman, capturing world attention with his distinctive black eye patch. The ex - war hero had been one of those, along with the great Anwar Sadat, to begin the Camp David Peace Talks. Turmoil continues in the Middle East, as Sudan, Egypt's southern ally threatens to in- vade Libya to retaliate against terrorist bombing and sabotage in Sudanese villages. Sudan's president Gaafar Nimeiri publicly stated that he plans to send squads into Libya and "maybe inside Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Khadafy's own home." Egypt has declared its own borders to be in a state of alert, while sending back - up troops to Sudan. Meanwhile. the United States has sent a number of AWACS radar sur- veillance planes to Egypt. The Nobel Peace Prize for 1981 has been awarded to the United Nations High Com- missioner for Refugees for the office's help to the growing number of refugees around the world. Poul Hartling heads the agency, which helps ap- proximately 10 million refugees all over the world. The literature prize went to Bulgarian born novelist and playwright, Elias Canetti. Canetti, a Jewish writer who lives i in London, was cited for his outstanding works on facism and dictatorship. Forthe tenth time in thirteen years, an American has won the Economics Prize. James Tobin of Yale University was awarded for his studies on Family and Business Financial Decisions based on Debts and Assets. In national news, Congress is still battling over the proposed sale of AWACS RADAR planes to Saudia Arabia. Although the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committee soundly defeated the proposal, the Reagan Administration feels that the sale will eventually pass and has concentrated heavy lobbying efforts to achieve the Dassage. The Senate has until October 31 to reject the sale, which President Reagan has already basically committed to the Saudis. James Watt, Reagan's Secretary of the Interior is expected to fall under fire this week from the Sierra Club and other environmentalist groups. The goal of the "anti - Watt" lobbying attempt is to have him fired by Ronald Reagan. In the past, Watt has not been sym- pathetic to environmental con- cerns and regulations. Statewide, the federal budget cuts are already beginning to take effect as the Department of Medical Assistance voted to cut the medicaid budget by $67 million. The reductions will take effect in November, cutting nursing home funding by $24 million and hospitals by $18 million. As of yet, there have been no concrete decisions on how the pressures imposed on the elderly and the sick will be relieved by the cuts. Tomorrow marks the date of the run - off election between mayoral candidates Sidney Marcus and Andrew Young. Page 4 Campus Police Force Includes Women The Agnes Scott Profile October 26, 1981 by Ann Conner Feminists would not get far with an attack on the Agnes Scott police staff about sexual discrimination. The present force can boast that it employs th ree capable female employees. The Agnes Scott Profile will run a series on the three women on the campus police staff. This is the first story in that series. Roni Robbins is a relatively new addition to the campus department. She began work- ing with the force four months ago. Before coming to Agnes Scott, Roni was employed by the Douglas County Sheriff's office. As our interview began, Roni quickly corrected this scribe when I referred to the campus department as "securi- ty." She immediately corrected my terminology to "campus police." She continued by ex- plaining that the staff memoers have been certified as DeKalb police officers. This official title and the training that goes with it along with the pride reflected in Roni's voice should breed reassurance for Agnes Scott students. At Douglas County, she worked homicide, narcotics, vice, armed robberies, forgeries and motor vehicular theft. She explained that the major factor that influenced her decision to come to Agnes Scott was her desire to continue her educa- tion. While she handles the requirements of her job, Roni hopes to attend classes and meet the requirements for a psychology or sociology major. Roni remains busy off cam- pus as well as on campus. She enjoys white water rafting, kayakina. backpacking and waterskiing. She also enjoys training elephants. After catching my bemused expres- sion, Roni expounded on this interest. Roni once worked as a security guard on a 200 acre research project in Douglas Co. near Six Flags for scientist Harold C. Palmer, the inventor of the tranquilizer given to immobolize animals. This land serves as a reservation for the animals used in Palmer's ex- periments. It also functions as a training center for scientists from other places to come and further their research. "All types of animals from other countries were on this reservation," ex- plained Roni. "The elephants captured my interest. I worked with them, training and taming them," she finished. Not only is Roni a female working in a non-stereotypical profession, she's a real go getter! Accessories Update by Mary MacKinnon Accessories are the best option for updating any ward- robe. Consider: A key accessory can add polish to any number of outfits. Accessories can change a daytime look into a fabulous evening look. And best of all accessories are an inexpensive way to keep up with the latest fashion trends. Why pay $100 for a new dress when you can update the shape or line of any dress you already own with a $30 wide leather sash? Moneywise, accessories make sense. Get the most out of your accessories and maximize your looks from head to toe. Start a-head: Consider your hair one of your best accessories this fall. In order to balance the proportions of voluminous fall clothes, hair is thicker, and has more volume. Short or long, the word for hair this fall is "full." At the neck: This fall, necklaces add extra polish to any look. The best chokers. Beaded strands are twisted together with colorful cording (especially gold) and glass or gold beads. Don't forget scarves. For a romantic look, tie a lace scarf at the neck pretty with a ruffled blouse and velvet blazer.! Around the shoulders: Capes and shawls areflung around the shoulders or draped over one shoulder for an easy daytime look or a luxurious evening look. The prettiest and most versatile wraps this fall have gold threads woven into the pattern. Perfect for day or night! Close at hand: First, wide "cuffs" of bronze or pewter are wrapped around the wrist. They are put over tne long sleeves of a sweater or blouse. HanaDags make a big fashion statement his fall. The newsmakers are multi-textured; leather and lizard, metallic and suede. Wrapping the waist: Belts are your best accessory invest- ment. With a couple of belts, you can change the look and mood of any outfit. Some to try: wide leather and suede sashed with metallic piping on the edges, multi-colored cords braided or wrapped together with a large metallic buckle for added interest, or soft cummer- bunds in an assortment of colorful challis or paisley prints. On the legs: Patterned and textured stockings add color and warmth. For casual wear, try multi - colored tweed socks. Foradressier look, as well as for evening, try stockings flashed with gold or bronze. Stepping out: Footwear options are endless! Pumps take on a new look with lower heels, metallic piping, and new colors such as copper and hunmetal. The prettiest shoes have a mix of textures; leather and suede, snakeskin and metallics. Boots come in all shapes and sizes. One difference! Boot heels are lower, practically flat. Some interesting boots: suede boots that come up to mid-calf but can be rolled down to the ankles and boots cuffed at the ankle in metallic colors. This fall you don't need to spend a fortune to stay in style. You don't even have to purchase any "new" clothing. Members of Agnes Scott police force, Roni Robbins, also takes classes at Scott. Photo by Katesy Watson Prospectives Pleased by Mary MacKinnon Denise McFall, coordinator of OktoberQuest '81 believes "a campus visit is the very best way to evaluate a college". Last Thursday and Friday some 150 prospective students from junior and senior high school classes did just that. Though most girls came from Georgia, all southern states were represented along with girls coming from as far west as Texas and as far north as Maryland. Events held on Thursday were orientation and campus tours, ending with a reception at Bradley Observatory. Friday, the prospectives attended classes and met with professors. Also scheduled were a student life seminar and a campus life slide show. Overall, the visitors seemed impressed with Agnes Scott. The classroom visits gave a good overall view of academic life because, as one student noted, "We were able to see what the classroom atmosphere is like and what the professors I would expect of us". "Although I did not understand what was going on in the higher level classes," comments one girl, "I felt that I could contribute to class discussions and not be afraid to ask questions." The small classes seemed to im- press the students who knew that "having 400 students in one class" is not unusual at large universities. The honor system really im- pressed the visitors who could not believe that Scotties can leave their dorm rooms open all of the time, that tests are unproctored, and that exams are self - scheduled. A common feeling among prospectives was that Agnes Scott would prepare them for life after college because "Agnes Scott gives a sense of self - worth. Here you are not just an average person." Although catalogs and brochures are helpful in providing insights to a college, they do not allow the student to get a feel for a particular college. "Talking to students about classes and social life makes it seem real - it is better than having adults talk to us about it," was their consensus. Denise McFall wants to ex- press her thanks to all of the OktoberQuest committee chairpeople, members of the faculty and administration, and students who worked diligently to make OktoberQuest '81 possible. New Supervisor Hired New dining hall supervisor Harold Rapelje persuades students to eat vegetables. Photo by Katesy Watson by Colleen Flaxlngton Who is that strange man in the Dining Hall who insists on serving us carrots with our fish and potatoes because our meal needs some color? Harold Rapelje is a new face among the dining hall staff, bearing the official title of "Dining Room Supervisor." He boasts 15years of practical experience from his family's restaurant in Michigan. Before arriving at Letitia Pate, he owned and operated a retail store called Cake Art, where he handled cake supplies and taught cake decorating. Mr. Rapelje's responsibilities actually began this summer, when he assisted with the heavy cleaning of and repair work to Letitia Pate that must be ac- complished during the recess period. His current, routine duties involve cleanliness maintenance and the general supervision of the serving staff. He must see to it that our meals are prepared and served on time. He and Mrs. Weber, Miss Saunder's new assistant, are also in charge of the supplies for and preparation of meals or refreshments for any extra activities that take place on campus. To close with a personal note - Harold is single, and reports that he can cook, clean, but refuses to do windows! October 26, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 5 Scotties Make Their Presence Known = Across The World Anne Hodge by Sally Maxwell and Pamela Pate To most people, the mention of the country Turkey conjures up images of veiled women, camel races, and turbans. Freshman Ann Hodge, of Dallas, Texas, knows that there is more to Turkey than just mosques and snake charmers. Anne spent 1 1 1 /2 months in Turkey on the American Field Service program which give high school students an oppor- tunity to spend some time overseas. The students live with specially chosen families while they are there. To apply for this experience, Anne indicated her interest to her school's A.F.S. organization and wrote personal essays about her abilities to unders- tand and accept other cultures. Anne had only one choice to make concerning her host country; on the application she specified the northern hemisphere. She had no idea which country she would visit. In fact, Anne thought she had not been selected to go anywhere, "I was out buying sheets, gettinq readv to start at Scott,. when the A.F.S. people called my house witn 'my' country." A week and a half later, on August 18, 1980, Anne was on the plane to Istanbul. Although Istanbul is very modern, Anne says its people still adhere to many rigid social customs. The far eastern part of Turkey is much more strict concerning customs than the western part. Many people still feel that women should not be out after five p.m., and divorce is still heavily frowned upon. Teenagers in Turkey must work hard. They have high school classes five days a week and university preparatory classes on the other two days. To be accepted by the universi- ty, all Turkish students must take an entrance exam, one which only one person out of one hundred and fifty passes. Despite the rigidity of life there, Anne had many good experiences in Turkey. She en- joyed learning about and living with the people. "They are incredibly kind to those who visit their homes. They think of guests as gifts from God and bringers of good fortune," she said. Not only are the people special, but their country is beautiful. Anne explains, "Turkey is not arid but very green and forested." It is bordered by both the Mediterra- nean and the Black seas. There are clean, unpolluted beaches and clear "emerald - green" bodies of water. The city of Istanbul has many historic sites. The sultans' Topkapi Palace is, according to Anne, a great place to tour. The various mosques are also big attractions, as is the Grand Bazaar. The Bazaar is a huge marketplace with stalls of clothing, jewelry, rugs and food which, Anne says, is one of the best parts of Turkey. The city also has tea gardens and even discos. "Istanbul reminds me of San Francisco," Anneexclaims, "and it's a great place to visit. More people should go!" Contrary to what many peo- ple think, Anne says that the people of Turkey are not bar- barians. "They are very civiliz- ed," she says. Even though she encountered cultural differences, Anne said she enjoyed herself and hopes togo back someday.

They spent most of last year in Cahmbon - sur - Lignon, France studying French and moved to Haiti last April where my dad is the business, administrator of the hospital and Mom is the Super- visor of Nursing Activitieds. I very much enjoyed laughing and crying with them over problems of adjustment, and misunderstandings between cultures. Haiti is hot; there are beautiful beaches and moun- tains, delicious tropical fruit and some very interesting tourist attractions. I had the experience of being in a white minority with French and Creole - speakers. Most Haitians are very poor (accor- ding to U.S. standards) and there were several cases of starving children too far gone, brought to our hospital. Haiti is very safe in terms of crime, but watch out for the automobile drivers! Leogane is a large town about an hour's drive from Port - au - Prince, the capital. The hospital belongs to the Episcopal Church of Haiti but is mainly funded by the Presbyterian Church, U.S. It has recently been expanded to approximate- ly fifty - five beds, and has five full - time doctors. Almost every other week specialists from the U.S. come down to give of their time. The hospital has many needs our Christian Associa- tion gave $200 last year which was used to set up sterilizers and baby bottles for the pediatrics ward. I had many interesting experiences: lear- ning hospital terms and procedures, seeing death and dead bodies for the first time, and watching new life a delivery! At the end of the summer, I tried putting my teaching experience into prac- tice to help our maid learn how to read and write in Creole.

Denise Leary bv Baird Lloyd Denise Leary spent tne summer this year working as a lab technician for the Procter and Gamble Corporation in Cincinnati. She worked in the paper products packaging divi- sion on several projects. The projects involved various aspects of the use of polyethylene as the plastic wrap on rolls of items such as toilet paper and paper towels. One of the projects involved the tightness with which the rolls of plastic are wound. They had to determine the correct tightness and tension for maximum "reliability". Denise flew to the plant in Albany, Ga. to work on this project. The second project Denise was involved in concerned the powder which is applied to the rolls of plastic to prevent them from sticking together. They also worked on perfecting the testinq method used. The third project dealt with the "seabili- ty" of the plastic. Denise also helped work on the plastic wrapper for a new product. "This job was supposed to help me make up my mind between a Chemistry degree and a Chemical Engineering degree. I discovered that chemical engineers perform a huge variety of jobs, but I still can't decide." Denise said she hopes to continue working there next summer.

They will play Beethoven's "Sonata in F Major, Opus 5, No. 1," Prokofiev's "Sonata in C Major, Opus 119" and Johannes Brahms "Sonata No. 2 in F Major, Opus 99." Their concert will begin at 8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall and will be open to the public, free of charge. Rex is the first cellist ever to win the coveted string prize in the National Federation of Music Clubs Young Artists Competition (1979). As a result of this competition, he per- formed the Schumann Cello Concerto during the summer, 1980, at Brevard Music Center, North Carolina, and Chatuau- qua Institute, New York. Before joining the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 1979, Rex had been a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra for seven seasons and a faculty member of the New School of Music. A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, he studied for two years with Leonard Rose at the Juilliard School. Rex's cello was recently featured in the Atlanta Journal. The cello was made by Jean - Baptiste Vuillaume, a 19th - century French master known for his fine copies of Stradivari instruments. Oliver has performed as a soloist and with chamber music groups in her native Israel and in Belgium and the United States. After hearing her play in Israel, pianist Rudolph Serkin advised her to seek overseas engagements. Oliver has won performance prizes in Israel and in Belgium. She was chosen in 1958 by pianist Claudio Arrau as one of six outstanding young Israeli pianists to appear as finalists in the Arthur Rubinstein Award Contest. In Belgium she won first prize in piano and in the Chamber Music Section of the Royal Conservatoire, where she also won Laure Van Cutsem Prize for outstanding pianist. Rachel Oliver, Atlanta Pianist who has performed In I sreal, Belgulm and the United States will perform a duo - recital with cellist Christopher Rex of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Sunday, Nov. 1, at Agnes Scott College. Concert time Is 8:15 p.m. In Presser Hall, and the public is invited free of charge. Cruise On The Nile by Scottie Echols Are you interested in cruising on the Nile this summer? Why not take a trip with Osborne Travel to Egypt and East Africa? Philip Osborne explained toa group of Agnes Scott students that a trip like this one is a tremendous experience. The tour group leaves July 12 and returns July 30 and iwll visit Egypt, Kenya and Tanzania. Narrating a film of his recent visit to this vast continent, he showed the wildlife the crowned crane, national bird of Kenya, a million flamingos on a pond, and a herd of giraffes close enough to touch. From the great Sphinx of Egypt to te exotic bush country of Kenya to huge volcano craters of Tan- zania, the trip is 19 days of adventure. Mr. Osborne stressed what these three weeks can mean to a person's life. It is truly extraor- dinary to see Egypt and East Africa "the way it was millionsof years ago. It's not going to be that way long," he explained.

This square consists of the four stars Markab, Scheat, Algenib, and Alpheratz, and is the body of the constellation of Pegasus, the winged horse. This horse has long been the symbol of joy and grace. According to mythology, long ago Poseidon had a rather suspicious meeting with Medusa who was a very beautiful earthly woman. Miner- va, Poseidon's wife, angered by this and by Medusa's pressumptuous comparison of her golden hair to that of Minerva's, turned Medusa's hair into writhing snakes and twister her mouth into a diabolical grin. Minerva also cursed Medusa so that all who looked upon her would turn to stone. Thus, Medusa became one of the three daughters of the night and eternal darkness who lived on the most distant shores of the ocean near the land of Hesperides. After a time, Perseus, son of Jupiter and Danae, was hired by King Polydectes to kill the Medusa. He was aided in this effort by Minerva, who gave him a highly polished shield with which to see the monster without looking at it, a helmet that made him invisible and a pair of winged shoes that guid- ed him to Medusa. Perseus succeeded in decapitating the creature and put the head in a leather bag. As Perseus traveled home across the sea, some of the drops of blood from Medusa's head fell into the sea foam, and from this strange mixture, Pegasus was born. Perseus mounted this steed and flew home where he found even more adventures. Pegasus was seen as a kind of emissary between the gods and man, and in honor of his birth, he is seen in the sky as just rising out of the sea with only his head and upper body show- ing. Venus is visible in the south - western sky now shortly after sunset. The moon is near full and can be seen throughout the night.

Photo by Charles Rafshoon French Lieutenant's Women Reviewed The Alliance Theatre opened its 1981-82 season with Brian Clark's WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY? starring Atlanta ac- tress Linda Stephens. This provocative play, with its sensitivity and gentle humor, had a long and highly - praised run on Broadway with Mary Tyler Moore in the leading role. It was called "a rare dramatic experience . . . dynamic from start to finish" in the Wall Street Journal and Rex Reed said "WHOSE LIFE ... is stylish, illuminating, thought - provok- ing and wonderful" in the New York Daily News. The story is about a young sculptress who is paralyzed from the neck down in an accident. After six months in an intensive care unit, being kept alive only by modern medical equipment, the sharply in- telligent, witty woman decides she wants to be released from the hospital, which would mean certain death. The result is a battle with hospital authorities and a conflict of two kinds of good a doctor who feels he must preserve all life as long as possible and a dynamic young person who has "no wish to be a medical achievement." Linda Stephens will play Claire Harrison, the young quadriplegic. Ms. Stephens is recognized as one of Atlanta's most accomplished actresses.

Ms. Patterson spoke at "Student Tabletalk," an organization sponsored by the Bible and Religion department and not to be confused with the year - long Women and Mindpower symposium which also spon- sors Tabletalks.' "Student Tabletalks" evolved from students' requests to sit in on the Faculty Tabletalks.

Many women who have classes until 1 wander in late and others may leave early; it is an informal discus- sion. Ms. Patterson made quite an impression on those who attended the last Tabletalk. She is the associate chaplain at Emory University and is a postulant of the Episcopal Church. Ms. Patterson attended Smith College on a scholarship and then went to Harvard Divinity School where she graduated with honors. Ms. Patterson spoke of her struggles in trying to become wholly spiritual. "Spirituality is an alertness to God's unique word embodied in me." Conse- quently, spirituality is a by Colleen Flaxington "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (taken from John Fowles' novel of the same name) is a movie well - directed by Karel Reitz. The story is of a Victorian romance being filmed by a troupe of modern actors. The varying time element is deftly managed, scene changes are neither abrupt nor con- fusing. Rather, the contrasts in the film, instead of causing choppiness, strengthen and smooth rough places in the plot. Meryl Streep as the lead handles both of her roles with grace and a deep understan- ding of each character. If Vic- torian Sara's actions were at times so incredible as to seem implausible, they are firmly countered by the sometimes painfully real decisions of modern Ann. The pose which many critics predict will become as classic as Vivien different experience for each of us and we express this ex- perience in diverse ways, she explained. For Ms. Patterson, an awareness of her physical well being has deepened her sense of spirituality. The better she feels physically, the more alert she can be to God's word to her. She encouraged students to be alert to God and His unique word in each of us. The next Student Tabletalk will be tomorrow, October 27. Connie Conrad, Associate Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics; Associate Profesor of Preventive Medicine and Community Health; and Direc- tor, Master of Community Health Program, Emory School of Medicine, will speak on "Medical Ethics." P.S. Day Students, the lunch tab is picked up by the school! Leigh's in Gone With the Wind, Sara's first meeting with Charles, is indeed gripping and memorable.

DUNLEY DUNBAR, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION. HAVE W EVER CONSIDERED A CAREER AS AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER ?' New Hope for DES Daughters submitted by Cathy Errett, R.N. Researchers from Beth Israel Hospital in Boston have reported seeing a dis- appearance of tissue abnor- malities, thought to be precancerous, in the daughters of women who took diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant to prevent mis- carriages. The results of a 5-year study showed that 31 percent of 121 women with cervical ectopy, an by Baird Lloyd Amy Potts, a junior Art Major, has been a sports enthusiast since her childhood. She has played just about every sport you can think of: baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, racquetball, swimming, and track in high school. She ex- plained, "Sports is my thing, my first love." Amy is the vice president of Athletic Association this year and feels that "to be mentally healthy, you need to be physically healthy. We exercise our brains around here a lot but we need to do something physical as well." She thinks We all have mornings - and evenings - when pouches under our eyes destroy our looks. But an easy ten - minute treatment with one of the following common kitchen items can Try a cucumber pack. Peel a cucumber, wrap it in a clean cloth, and crust it. Add one egg white and a little witch hazel and mix together well. Place the mixture briefly in the freezer - abnormal tissue growth in the uterine area, showed a com- plete disappearance of abnor- mal tissues, while an additional 44 percent showed an extensive decrease. Cervicovaginal hoods, excess tissue partially encircling the uterus, dis- appeared in 28 percent of 123 women and decreased in another 53 percent. These results should not be interpreted as meaning that that "everyone should take advantage of the limited but quality sports program at Agnes Scott." Talking about AA, she said that every member of the student body is considered a member of the Athletic Associa- tion. The organization has a lot of potential, but it needs more participation, according to Amy. Here at Agnes Scott, Amy has continued to play sports as much as she can. She has played field hockey since she was a freshman, a game she had never played before she came but don't freeze. Place on your eyes Easier still is an ice cube, added to a small cup of milk.

They emphasized that DES daughters should have medical exams regularly. Prenatal DES exposure has been linked to vaginal and cervical cancer in dES daughters and to testicular abnormalities in the sons. (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 8/1/80) here. Intermural basketball is probably the one she likes most, she said. She plays point guard for the team this year and said that she somehow is "always being nominated to be capatin every year." Each of the classes has an intermural basketball team and Amy encourages everyone to come out and play because "there's no pressure, it allows anyone who wants to play to enjoy the game." In the spring Amy plays softball, and she played soccer last spring on ateam made upof Agnes Scott girls and girls from the parts of Atlanta. During the summer she taught swimming at Camp Greystone in North Carolina. You may have despaired of ever getting out of the classroom and into the great outdoors this winter. Don't give up yet. Outward Bound, the non - profit organization, is putting together wilderness adventure programs especially for college students. The courses include The days of ping - panging, clitter - clattering are gone. These days the arcades of America's college unions are more likely to resound with synthesised blasts, bleeps and zpas of video games. "Five years ago I'd say that 99 percent of all our games were pinball," says Roger CorTway, director of student activities at the University of Rhode Island. "Now, at least 70 to 80 percent of everything is video games." The new games launched just eight years ago with Atari's now primitive Pong are not only pushing traditional union pinball machiens, football games and pool tables out the door, they're bringing new customers into the arcades and swelling union profits. "It's amazing the number of people who stop in and play the video games," remarks Robert Todd, student union director at the University of Illinois. Todd attributes the increase to "frequency of play," which seems to be greater on video games than on the traditional mechanical games. Unions aren't hesitating to cash in on the trend. Rather than leasing or renting the games like most colleges, UCLA bought its own arcade equipment. "We train students to service the mahcines anc supply them with all the necessary equipment," says student union Director Mark Panatier. The result is that now UCLA owns 26 video games. Panatier expects 1981 arcade profits to hit $313,000, up from $108,000 in 1976-77. "The game room has become so popular that we've had to limit it to students, faculty and guests," Panatier exults. "We had kids coming in off the streets." Explaining why video games which are actually computer programs with names like Asteroids, Space Invaders, Targ and PacMan are so popular is more complex than calculating their profits. In a case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Amusement and Music Operators Association argued the games are popular because they provide "physical and mental exercise." Panatier says "they're just plain fun." But cross country skiing and snowshoeing, winter wilderness camping, shelter building and primitive cooking, navigation and safe ice - cross- ing, and cold weather safety. Minnesota Outward Bound, one of seven schools across the U.S., offers winter expeditions ranging from five days to three some sociologists fear the games foster anti - social at- titudes in younger children, perhaps creating a generation that deals better with com- puters than with other people. Other observers see the games as just more sophisticated pinball machines. "The games are an escapist activity, an opportunity to relax and unwind after a hard day of classes," contends David Stroud of Cinematronics, a California game manufacturing firm. "The college players are much more sophisticated, and seem to really get into the games more." Anthropoligist Dr. Edward Hall, author of Beyond Culture, sees something subconscious in it all. "What a lot of these games are providing now is an orientation to the future," Hall claims. Students are "getting practice for the sort of things they'll have to be doing in the future. They may not know it yet, but these young people are growing up in a world we weren't born in, and they're preparing themselves for that world." "They're looked at as games," he warns, "and they're much more than that." Arcade games aren't the only form of campus entertainment to be revolutionized by video. Already, colleges are beginning to replace live concerts and performances with videotaped productions. Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Randy Newman and the Pretenders are just a few of the groups now available on video for public display. "Video is turning out to be the easiest way to reach the largest amount of people on college campuses, simply because it can be repeated," says Toby Silberberg, national coor- dinator for Films, Inc., which distributes film and videotaped productions. "Music is now the most - asked - for form of video." He estimates the cost of staging a campus appearance for Robin Williams at "thousands of dollars." By con- trast, a videotaped performance of Williams in concert rents for just $250 to $300. weeks, and from December through March. Academic credit and scholarships are available.

AA Vice President Loves Sports Banish Bogs Academic Alternative Offered The Agnes Scott Profile Vol. 68, No. 7 Agnes Scott College Decatur . Ca. November 2, 1981 Students Chat With President Perry by Colleen Flaxington The safety of Agnes Scott was the first topic of the informal student discussion with President Perry last Wednesday. President Perry, mentioning that he had received a few letters of concern from parents and alum- nae, said that his answer to such inquiries is to remind people that, "the crime problems in Atlanta are just like those of any other big city." He commented further that the crime situation doesn't seem to be a major factor in the decisions of prospective students, and cited the in- creased number of applications for admission. Though two new officers have been added to Security, he urged students to take all possible precautions, saying "We've been very lucky." He added that the area between Buttrick and Presser Halls is scheduled for more lighting. A student asked about the Campbell Hall project. President Perry said that in order to raise the needed $3 million, part of his job was to ask for contributions not only from the Board of Trustees, but also corporations and friends of the college, alum- nae, faculty, parents and students. He mentioned the logistics problem of renovating Campbell due to the fact that Sophomores Caroline Cooper and Flo Hines relax at TGIF. Social Council Announces Winter Events Plans by Kitsie Bassett Social Council will wrap upfall quarter with a TGIF on Nov. 6. It will be held in the gym with guitarist Alan Toland providing the entertainment. Seniors are welcome to bring their parents who are here for Investiture. Social Council has a full schedule to liven everyone's winter quarter. The first TGIF will be a suitcase party on Jan. 15. Social Council will have a drawing for a weekend at Daytona Beach. This includesair fare and accomodations for two. On Jan. 29 and Feb. 5, two more TGIF's will be held. Feb. 6 will feature a costume party at Paces River Ferry Cros- sing Restaurant. The Mighty Majors will play at this party. Tickets will be sold for couples. Then on Feb. 26, as a special treat to the student body, Social Council is throwing a free band party. It will be held at Knights of Columbus Lodge and feature 'The Michael Guthrie Band." Students don't need a date for this one! The Council hopes everyone is as excited about these winter quarter plans as they are, according to Kitty Cralle, president. Students who inadvertantly did not pay for Black Cat pictures when ordering them, should contact Betsy Shaw. labs can't be shifted to tem- porarv classrooms. Though the pressures for safety devices in Campbell caused it to be pushed into number one priority on the build- ing schedule, President Perry's dream is to see a new gym across the street from the tennis courts. This would include a new swimming pool, running track and an additional hockey field. The old gym would be turned into a student center. One student commented that having the new gym so close to the Observatory would make that area much safer, because of the increased student traffic there. When asked about the seem- ing lack of student involvement in athletics President Perry said, "I am not in favor of big - time athletics. I've seen too many problems associated with that. People don't realize how much time is spent by those participat- ing in inter - collegiate sports. I would like to see Agnes Scott participate inter - collegiately in somesports, however." This was the last subject discussed by the studentsand members of the ad- ministration who attended. Judge To Teach Seminar Problem Discussed A Political Science 190 Freshman - Sophomore seminar entitled The Legal System: A Citizen's Perspective," will be taught winter quarter by a new lecturer, Judge Clint Deveaux. Mr. Deveaux, a new Municipal Court Judge in the city of Atlanta, is a former state legislator, a candidate for Congress, and Monica Kaufman 's (of WSB-TV fame) husband. Incidentally, he is the Parking Defined, President Perry also held an informal rap session to discuss parking regulations. The talk resulted from suggestions made by Catalyst for freshmen to park in the South Candler Lot. This would be in an effort to reduce illegal parking. President Perry said he was very much against this idea. He felt the problem would be better solved by in- creasing fines for illegal parking. Director of Security Al Evans first black to teach at Agnes Scott College. Mr. Deveaux will be changing the emphasis of the course, making it particularly attractive to ASC students. He will emphasize the area of Constitutional rights, with a particular view to exploring the evolution of women's rights. The course will be taught Wednesday afternoons at 3 p.m. said he agreed with this. He said the Fire Department had been out here twice, finding cars parked in fire zones both times. According to Georgia law, the fire department can tow these cars without warning. Mr. Evans also said that the same people parked illegally each time. A possible solution to excessive abuse would be tow offender's cars.

The reason the ramp was built at Presser was because of the number of public performances held there. As Lee Barklay, vice - president of Business Affairs explained, there are numerous places on campus that are unaccessible but there was a greater need at Presser for the wheel - bound public. Mr. Barklay also explained that should there be someone, who needs to get into the library, for example, it would be more practical to help lift that person up the steps rather than build an infrequently used ramp. However, under the law, jpK programs must be made acces- Zm*^ sible to wheel-bound students; so should that situation arise, the problem would be dealt with then. And as of now, that case has not occurred. The Agnes Scott Profile by Laurie McBrayer Agnes Scott College hastaken some steps in the right direction concerning handicapped facilities. At last, a ramp has been installed next to Presser Hall so people, including visitors from the community, will have easy access to the building. In addition, hand rails have been installed next to buildings in several locations. These im- provements deserve recognition, yet, also neces- sitate an examination of where further improvement can be made. If a handicapped student wished to attend ASC, chances are that she would not come. One must ascend steps to enter: the library, the dining hall, the hub, Main, Rebekah, Inman, Winship, the main entrance of Buttrick, and the steps inside the gymnasium. Not only would these traps discourage han- dicapped students but they can inconvenience current students from time to time. A class mate of mine was on crutches several weeks ago and said that it took her approximately thirty minutes to leave Inman and walk to But- trick and get situated in her clas- sroom. Although visitors now have easy access into Presser, they still must take stairs in order to hear a lecture in Maclean. According to President Marvin B. Perry, Jr., the administration has already made a commitment to making buildings more acces- sible and has also made water fountains and bathroom facilities more approachable for those in wheelchairs. Of course, further im- provement in these areas re- quires additional funding. Money could be saved easily by conserving more energy on cam- pus. Last Friday, the outside doors to the library were wide open inside it wasn't "cool in the furnace." Inman and Main nave also been extremely warm. Most students admit they would rather put on extra clothing than tolerate the heat. Exam Tips (?) Recommended by Cameron Bennett Colleen Flaxington Marcia Whetsel In the ASC tradition of help- ing one another several Boy Scouts would like to pass along some "tried and true" exam study methods that we have perfected, to our beloved sister class, the Sundance Kids. 1 . Take a walk around campus and try to come up with an ac- curate count of the trees. 2. Take an inventory of your bobby pins. 3. Call up everyone in the Atlanta phone book with your last name to find out if you are related, (especially if your name is Jones or Smith.) 4. Rearrange your furniture, including posters, with your roommate. Maybe you'll even find the notes you need for your next exam! 5. Look up exotic names for all of your plants. (For example, Isadora Ivy, Phinias F. Philoden- dron, and Spencer the Spider Plant.) 6. Go through old magazines for your favorite pics of your favorite men and make a collage on your door or bulletin board. For even more fun - make it a group effort and cover a wall! 7. Recast your favorite movie (use the imagination) with ASC faculty and staff. Good for a million laughs - Believe it, we've tried it! (Horror movies are especially good during exams!) 8. Build a pyramid with Coke and Tab cans and bury your roommate in it. 9. See h ow long it takes you to pop a whole bag of popcorn . . . and eat it! 10. Goto Italy for a real Italian pizza - You sure won't find one at P By C. 11. Call up your favorite DJ and see if he'll dedicate "God of the Marching Centuries" to Dean Gary. 12. If all else fails, use the "Rip Van Winkle" method and SLEEP!!! November 2, 1981 Behind Door Four t>Y P*9Qy Davis As the end of the quarter approaches, I have found myself uplifted from the usual panic which plagues these last remaining weeks. This transforming experience occured during a meeting of the Georgia Student Assembly (SGA) conference. This conference, held at Emory University, had three goals: (1 developing leadership skills and effectiveness; (2)strengthening Georgia's college student government network, and (3)re - establishing student lobbying alliance. I'll spare you the discussion of the leadership development aspect. And, instead, I hope that I'll be able to show you what I learned. But, it's imperative that I explain the other two parts. First, the network of Georgian colleges has been beneficial to the SGA's. GSA is the only state - wide organization which provides a method of communication of campus events and programs between colleges. With national affiliations, GSA communicates national educationl information to members. It also gives colleges the op- portunity to "exchange views, share ideas, and work on mutual goals." I was made aware of the many issued other colleges were ad- dressing. For instance, the group at Georgia State is sponsoring a program by the National Anti - Klan Network in early January. And other colleges in GSA will be involved in this effort. GSA is also a lobbying coordinator. As you must realize, college - aged students are not insured of representation by their legislators, and again, GSA is the only state organization which represents our age - group's concerns. In fact, GSA was formed a year ago to prevent the passage of the bill which would have raised the legal drinking age to 21 in Georgia. Their efforts paid off. But again this year, Senator Joe Thompson (D - Smyrna) is introducing a bill which proposes the 21 - year - old legal drinking age. Steve Koval, Emory's SGA President and GSA President, has asked if ASC is interested in joining GSA and participating in this lobbying. So, I need to know (and soon!) those who are interested - for any or all of GSA's purposes. Please contact me (Box 1 39)or any Rep memberand voice your opinion. You might ask how the possibility of more work could transpose the end - of - the - term - panic into pleasure. Well, perhaps the most enlightening part of the conference was the chance to view ASC in relation to other colleges. We have an overwhelming amount of power as students, superior relations with the administration, and most importantly, the mental and physical capacities to be effective with our actions. GSA can help us maximize our resources and of course, we have much to offer them.

J. Lloyd, Tracy Murdock, Marty Wooldrldge by Kimberley Kennedy Although it often looks as though no real, tangible results are being made to give greater advantages to the working woman, great strides are being made to help the woman help herself. People enjoyed and laughed at the box office hit last year "Nine to Five", a film about the dis- crimination women face in the office. It dramatized and humorized, not ineffectively the barriers women deal with every day demeaning barriers, such as sexual harrassment or not be- ing treated as intellectual equals to the men in the office. Hopefully, through the humor, people could see the very real obstacles that are obstructing the working woman's rise to the top and understand the frus- tration and the need for change. But, as with any change of the status quo, it will take time for women to occupy seats beside men in the working world. Karen Nussbaum is director of the 10,000 - member group Working Women, a Cleveland - based national organization of office workers with offices in 1 1 other cities. The organization was formed out of a Boston group known as "Nine to Five"to tackle the problems they say: low pay, little respect and few promotional opportunities for female office workers. As Ms. Nessbaum stated, the economic status of the office worker is "horrifying." Office workers are still the lowest paid workers, with annual wages averaging $10,000 and some 3 million workers earn less than the federally - established poverty level. Originally they felt squeamish about the idea of a union, but in 1975 Ms. Nessbaum started Local 925 an independent union in Boston which began by win- ning contracts for office workers in law offices publishing com- panies and universities. Last March the organization felt it was time to add the potential for collective bargaining to its tac- tics for the entire country. Dis- trict 925, a national local af- ficilted with Service Employees International Union (AFL - CIO), was formed, with Working Women behind us as well as with us greater equality can be obtained. One reason men gained prominence in the business world was because they were always willing to help each other. They established not only clubs such as Rotary or Lions but also "old boy networks" of friends and school - mates. And no one cared if something was expected in return - everybody benefitted. But, for some unknown reason women seem reluctant to put out a hand to help their fellow women up the ladder. This is probably oc- curring because of the competition women are feeling over the low availability of high position jobs. But, finally, some astute women in Minneapolis have formed a network of some 2,400 women called All the Good Old Girls, a self - help job counseling group. For membership dues ranging between $15 and $100 annually, Minneapolis' Good Old Girls and hundreds of similar networks throughout the U. S. provide members with con- tacts among other women, as well as seminars on topics like speech writing, managerial techniques and job stress. Not only has this organization been made as a result of newcomers feeling a lack of executive contacts but also as a form of consciousness raising. Says June Vereeke - Hutt, founder and head of the Women's Career Network As- sociation in Cleveland: "We're taught at home to fight for the man, and unfortunately we've taken that philosophy into the marketplace.'' Women should continue to fight for equal pay for equal jobs and the right to deserved promotions. But until we are willing to get help when we need it and especially be willing to help those women who need a hand, equality for us in the business world will be farther off than we had hoped. November 2, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Princeton President Discusses Future Of Grad Programs Pege 3 Princeton, N.J. - (LP.) - "The welfare of graduate education in the arts and sciences is arguably the most serious single issue of educational policy facing American universities today," Princeton President William G. Bowen points out in his annual President's Report. Paradoxically, Bowen points out, "American universities are likely to award too many Ph. D. degrees in the arts and sciences relative to job opportunities over the next fifteen years, while at the same time failing to educate and place enough truly outstan- ding individuals." However, he points out, in the mid - to - late 1990s both the college - age population and the number of faculty retirements are expected to increase, result- ing in a strong upturn in academic job opporunities. Therefore, he urges, "as we now consider the necessary modifications in graduate programs, we must be careful to avoid damaging our fun- damental capacity to satisfy the needs of the future." What course should colleges and universities follow to res- pond to these challenges? Princeton should maintain a ma- jor commitment ot graduate education, Bowen responds, but it should look closely at the size of the graduate school and the fields which should be highlighted. He supports the continuance of a high degree of selectivity for doctoral candidates and believes that academic departments must investigate the possibility of condensing their strengths. ("It has long been Princeton's philosophy to concentrate on trying to do a relatively small number of things well.") If need by, graduate work in certain sub- jects may have to be suspended "as the academic structure of the University continues to change," Bowen proposes. Yet, at the same time, he notes, "We must continue to be prepared, even under the most difficult conditions, to move into carefully chosen new fields (or recombinations of old fields) as new ideas, and new branches of knowledge, evolve. "Quality versus quantity" is the issue at stake in approaching changes in graduate programs, he urges. Bowen emphasizes the importance of attracting the highest calibre of students rather than encouraging larger enrollments in graduate programs: 'The major task in designing policy ... is to avoid stimulating too large a quan- titative interest in graduate study while not simultaneously Tech Whistle Kidnapped ATLANTA, Ga. (CH) - How does a Georgia Tech student tell time? By the whistle, of course. That is, Georgia Tech students used to know what time it was by the loud steam whistle that had blown five minutes before every hour to signal the end of class - since the turn of the century. The noise was a relief to many students, but a decided an- noyance to some faculty members and campus workers who found the 90 to 1 00 decibel shriek irritating. In deference to complaints, the Tech ad- ministration silenced the cam- pus whistle in late September, sparking an outcry of student protest. Most students stuck to circulating petitions and calling the local media to express their dissatisfaction, but one group went a step further, sneaking into the campus steam plant one night with hacksaw in hand and kidnapping the whistle to draw attention to their demands. Unbeknownst to the would-be terrorists, the administration had only that day accepted a student proposal to sound the whistle once again, but at a lower decibel level and for less than the usual 10 seconds. That plan wasn't disrupted by the midnight theft. An old whis- tle was installed in place of the missing unit and the tradition went on. Not surprisingly, the kidnapped wh istle was released, unharmed. Scheduling For Winter Quarter Will Be Jan. 4. Course / Section Changes Dates Course and section changes for the winter quarter must be made on Tuesday, November 1 0 and Wednesday, November 1 1 . Students wishing to make 1) changes in the courses they have selected for the winter quarter or 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 soon one of these two days. The red - tag list will be posted on the official bulletin board in the Buttrick lobby prior to November 10. Red - tagged students must have errors corrected or obtain required signatures on November 10 and 11. 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 10 and 1 1 . No section changes can be made during scheduling for courses continuing from the fall quarter. Careful checking of course cards and schedulescan prevent problemson 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 January 4. After November 1 1 , no course or section changes can be made until the drop/add period during the winter quarter (January 5-14). Only changes necessitated by fall quarter failures will be made on scheduling day, January 4. Textbooks for the winter quarter will be ordered on the basis of course enrollments as of November 1 1 . discouraging the necessary qualitative interest." To accomplish this, there are many measures universities like Princeton may have to undertake, the report suggests. Graduate programs could be expanded from four to five years, so that candidates will have more time to publish, to com- plete their degrees and to find employment. Certain departments could shift from a seminar or "course" system to an apprenticeship approach. Additional master's programs and non - degree programs may answer newly emerging needs, and universities could even expand to the post - doctoral level. "Finally," Bowen writes in his report, "it seems to me essential that, individually and collectively, we begin to develop new attitudes towards graduate education." These include a shift of expectations to "modify attitudes towards non academic pursuits," en- couraging some students to enter the non - academic world prior to completing their degree, for instance. Funding availability - or lackof it - will be pivotal in shaping graduate education programs. The President's Report points out, "The shape of the future will depend significantly on actions taken, and not taken, by government, foundations, corporations and other private donors. Moral Majority Feared (CH) - Is Moral Majority paranoia getting you down? Does the Rev. Jerry Falwell appear repeatedly in your nightmares? Those fears may be forgotten, if you accept the viewpoint of a University of Texas historian. According to a UT News Service release, Dr. Howard Miller recently told a group of Texas alumni there is nothing to fear about Christian activist groups like the Moral Majority because the evangelical fervor they dis- played during last fall's election eventually will bring them down. Miller blamed media hype for the attention Falwell and company have received. On the other hand, your evangelical anxiety may be right on target. A Stanford University News Service story quotes As- sociate Dean Norman K. Wessells of the School of Humanities and Sciences as saying the Moral Majority is potentially much more dangerous than the Communist Party. "Our Republic faces one of its very gravest crises of this century in these next two decades because of the wedding of very rich, ultraconservative theological groupswith politics, - " Wessells told a Phi Bata Kappa convocation. Obviously, it comes down to a game of "Whom Do You Trust?" FALL QUARTER EXAMINATIONS, 1981-82 Details of examination procedures are available in the Agnes Scott College Student Handbook, pages 38-40.

Requests to the committee on Absences must be filed in the Office of the Dean of Students by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18 The Agnes Scott Profile November 2, 1 981 Mooney Advises Work Experience by Laurie McBrayer Career Planning Director Kathleen Mooney, said that to be competitive students need to ac- quire technical skills or get work experience. She said, "Em- ployers are looking for someone who knows something about the practical world." She also explained that receiving a job offer depends on the individual. Employers look at campus activities, com- munication skills, ability to think creatively, demonstrations of skills, and the abilities to collaborate and to analyze data. Ms. Mooney credits much of the success of ASC graduates to the fact that much individual development and attention is possible here. A book titled Sup- ply and Demand for College Graduates in the South 1985 reveals that "Liberal arts majors with good writing skills, who also have taken some practical skills courses, are advised to stress these positive qualities as they compete in the job market with business administrauun and other vocationally - trained graduates." Ms. Mooney said, "Agnes Scott graduates must realize that they do have marketable skills." The Career Planning Office offers several choices to students who wish to obtain career information or acquire actual experience in a particular field.

Kathy was awarded the Frierson - Clark research fellowship which paid for the summer research. The science department chose Kathy on the basis of her grades, her ap- plication for the fellowship and her extensive curriculum in the sciences at Agnes Scott. Kathy and Dr. Paul Kuznesof, professor of general chemistry, kenetics and inorganic chemis- try researched phthalocyanine polymers. The two synthesized a new compound which will later be polymerized to form a thalocyanine. Thalocyanines under special treatment can be made to con- duct electricity. Kathy explained that just gathering the com- pound was quite a task. "It took practically the entire summer to get enough for elemental analysis to establish it as a com- Ig7 Mellow Mushroom introduces a taste of the tropics PINEAPPLE PIZZA 70 N.

Upperclassmen may design an internship for a quarter or during the summer. If approved by the curriculum committee, they may receive academic credit. Ms. Mooney said that many seniors concentrate on getting through the year academically, rather than beginning their job search early. But others cannot afford to wait until spring to begin the job search, she explained. They either have to start paying rent or they wantto pay rent when they graduate. She did warn that economics majors will be competing against business school graduates who are trained to begin interviewing in the fall. She said that students who lack work experience and who wait until May to determine their career interests will face dif- ficulty. pound," Kathy said. Besides the synthesis of the new compound, Kathy and Dr. Kuznesof also did experiments with previously formed thalocyanines supplied by colleagues of Dr. Kuznesof. They showed that the thalocyanines were still capable of conductivity. This illustrated that these thalocyanines did not lose their ability to conduct over time. Besides the research, the fellowship also financed a new instrument for the science department called a thermogravimetric analyzer. This machine measures a com- pound's stability with increasing temperatures. Kathy spent long days in- volved in research. The average day lasted from 9 until 5 p.m. Kathy hopes that this hard work will eventually culminate in a published paper. She is presen- tly involved in an independent study to gain more material for the paper that she will submit for publication. Student-Faculty Hub Talk . Discusses Men and Women The second Women and Mindpower Symposium Hub Talk was held on Thurs., Oct. 22 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Hub. The topic was the ' ' Psycho log ica I and Physiological Differences Men and Women." Bonnie Etheridge, an Agnes Scott senior, moderated the discussions. The three panelists open the dis- cussion with talks on specific is- sues. These include: Professor Miriam Drucker, Department of Psychology, Agnes Scott, who gave a synopsis of myths and facts about the differences between men and women; Dr. Richard Micheal, M.D., Director of Biological Psychiatry Research Laboratories, Georgia Mental Health Center, Professor of Psychiatry and Anatomy, Emory University, A/ho spoke on the developmental aspects of sex differences; and Professor Jo Ann Messick, Department of Physical Education, Agnes Scott, who presented a narrative history of the changes that have occurred in women's participation in sports. The second half of the discussion consisted of a ques- tion and answer session with participation from the members of the audience Co mpanies Note Worth Of Liberal Arts Graduate Valerie Hepburn was a project intern with the Career Planning Office this past summer. She interviewed personnel at 46 companies. Thirty - eight of these companies were interested in developing an internship program for Agnes Scott students. Valerie said that the high interest indicated to her that "liberal arts can be integrated with business, and thatan internship program could be a successful way of ac- complishing that integration." In her "Business Internship Feasibility Study" she revealed that most Atlanta businesses were familiar with Agnes Scott and its academic program. She also said that most companies were impressed with the business prepatory program and the expansion in the economics, mathematics and science departments. Among the com- panies contacted were: Coca - Cola, Cox Broadcasting, Dames and Moore, Delta Airlines, Dupont, First National Bank of Atlanta, Georgia Power, Lochkeed, Muse's. Rich's, and Southern Bell. One employee said, "Liberal arts graduates are more able to understand the whole scope of the company, instead of just one area."

Professor Don Young served as moderator during the tense, and frequently amusing match. Kathy Helgeson, Laurie MacLeod, Jill Whitfill, and Laura Feese, pitted in intellectual warfare against Chemistry Professor Paul Kuznesof, Biology Professor Dale Hoyt, Classics Professor Alice Levine, and Professor Con- nie Jones, terminating a faculty winning streak of several years. The final score, 130 - 120 in favor of the students, was a result of some definitely stiff competition. The next day took College Bowl to Georgia Tech for the first scrimmage of the season. Colleen Flaxington, Kathy Helgeson, Jill Whitfill and Ellington Smoot faced their op- ponents for four grueling mat- ches. Colleen had these words to say about her first scrimmage with College Bowl, "It was a lot of fun, but it was hard. I felt that I did a lot better in the later games. The intense concen- tration was the worst part." Agnes Scott played matches against Ga. Tech, Emory, Berry, and Emory Jr. College with scores of 80 - 1 25, 70 - 1 65, 1 25 - 1 60, and 25 - 400 respectively. College Bowl president Kathy Helgeson was very proud of her team's first scrimmage. "I think our team made a fine showing; I'm really proud of our girls. They bravely sat through all those games, showing everybody that, yes, we're here. Although we didn't win any games, our closest win was to Berry College, who are the regional cham- pions." Kathy hastened to add that she was very proud, as well, of their student/ faculty victory. Winter and spring quarters wil! not hold an idle hour for College Bowl members. The team is looking forward to a Tus- caloosa , Al. match and a match in Rome, Ga. Either winter or spring quarter, Agnes Scott will be hosting a weekend meet and welcoming 5 or 6 groups for competition. Spring will bring another Student / Faculty College Bowl match. College Bowl practices every Wednesday at 5:30 in G - 29, and new members are always welcomed. Ch imo, International Club, Expands Goals by Catherine E. Fleming President, Chimo Chimo, Agnes Scott College's international students' group, begins a new year with the desire to expand and improve. The club plans to alter its direc- tion to better suit the needs of this years members and college community without losing sight of past values. Instead of becom- ing a "language club" or one that overemphasizes European cultures at the expense of Third World countries, Chimo intends to inquire about as many cultures as possible. Activities this quarter reflect the Agnes Scott theme for the year, Focus On Woman. An exhibit titled "Movements of National and International Women" was put on display in McCain Library. Photographic essays on Asian women, journals on international women's studies, an exploration of the expanding role of African women in political life and a profile on Kathi Kollwitz, an artist of the German expres- sionists era are featured in the exhibit. The exhibit will remain until the end of this week. Thursday, November 5 is the date for the Chimo Student Panel Discussion. Foreign Agnes Scott students will be the BOYS OR BOOZE . . .

Tickets, $2.50 each, ($1 .50 for Agnes Scott students, faculty and staff) will be sold at the door only. Atlanta theatre reviewers showered praises upon Ms. Whytes' performances of 'The Belle of Amherst" last April for the Atlanta Actors' Cooperative. Joseph Litsch of the Atlanta Constitution said, "For almost two hours, Ms. Whyte single - handedly transports the audience to 19th - century New England where Puritan idealswere upheldand romance was something to be hushed up and glossed over . . . Ms. Whyte and the poet meld into one dynamic, eccentric being, very much alive." Never leaving the stage, Ms. Whyte guides the audiencethroughthe private life of Emily Dickinson, revealing all dimensions of the poet's personality. Only two of Miss Dickinson's poems were published during her lifetime. Since her death in 1 886, over 1 700 verses have been printed, making her one of America's most renowned poets. She spent her entire life in the seclusion of her parent's home in Amherst, Mass. Although she lived a protected life defined by Victorian conven- tions, her poetry reveals her as an educated, courageous woman who possessed a great love for romance and humor. Ms. Whyte has appeared in several movies in- cluding "Little Darlings," "Hopscotch" and ABC's "East of Eden." As a local actress she has worked with the Alliance Studio, Atlanta Actors Cooperative, Theatre Atlanta Off - Peachtree and Emory Summer Theatre. She has appeared in numerous roles with the Alabama Shakespear Festival. David JohanserV.Here Comes the Night by Sister Ray With the release of his latest solo album Here Comes the Night, David Johansen has at last established himself as a serious musician/songwriter. Any vague memories of him as a punk rock star leading the New York Dolls may now be dispelled. Johansen's style is original and will appeal to music lovers of every genre. David Johansen was only nineteen when the New York Dolls formed in the early 70's. The band's name developed from the members meeting at a showing of Valley of the Dolls. They were just a group of New York street punks, but whenthey donned wigs, feathers and heavy make-up they gained fast recognition. It was an age of transformation in music and transvestitism. If Lou Reed and David Bowie were the kings, or rather queens of this scene then the New York Dolls were the court jesters Self - appointed Dolls' leader Johansen wasn't upset when critics said the Dolls couldn't play. He agreed that in the early days of the band, they didn't know how. The New York Dolls first album was released in 1973. It was offensive to many and appealing to others. Indicative of this am- biguity in the Dolls is the awards with which Creem magazine honored them; both the Best and the Worst New Band of that year. The Dolls released a second album which did not sell well. Their record company refused to renew their contract, saying the band was costing too much money. The demise of the Dolls left them with a cult following and the creation of a new music trend. Merged with the new rock movements from England, this trend developed into the American punk scene. David Johansen went on to become a solo performer. His first Album, simply entitled David Johansen, was released in 1978. The music isn't very good, but it shows promise. The second album In Style (1979) is much better. Johansen's style is more clearly defined and tunes such as "Melody" and "Justine" received moderate airplay. Music in the 1980s has reached another slump; a new movement or trend will soon emerge, but no one knows from which direction. In the midst of all these stale artists -1 and albums, Here Comes the Night is one of the five most exciting albums of 1981 . The title track expresses en- thusiasm for night life: "We'll get a hit off every joint that we see Coz we don't take this action casually . . . If what we did last night was a sin, We're going out tonight to do it again ..." Johansen's voice is deep and lusty but at the same time melodious. "You Fool You" is my favorite cut. Itstheme is berating people who sit home alone; to find love one must go look for it. "I've been a lover, I've been a clown I keep on hoping to turn you around . . . Why go solo if there's someone around? You fool you, if you think that love will come to you ..." Other exceptional cuts include "My Obsession", "Marquesa de Sade", and "She Loves Strangers." For this album Johansen enlisted the aid of guitarist Blondie Chaplin, a co- writer for many of the tunes. All of the songs contain a powerful but insistent bass (which drives the people above me crazy). The album cover depicts a sultry, sexy David Johansen without the former Dolls' image of being in drag. I must admit it; David Johansen is my latest obses- sion. Listen to Here Comes the Night and he'll soon become yours. Werewolf Movie : Full Of Howlers by Marcia Whetsel For all of you who were too busy 'trick - or - treating' this weekend to take in a scary Halloween flick, "An American Werewolf in London" is a must. Directed by John Landis, who also gave us "Animal House," this movie is a perfect blend of comedy and horror, with a fast, funny script and stunning visual effects The movie follows the paths of two young American students who are hitch - hiking across northern England and are at- tacked by a man - eating monster on the moors. David Kessler, played by David Naughton, survives the attack, only to find out that he has bitten off more than he can chew Yes, he is des- tined to become a werewolf at the next full moon. Jack Goodman, played by Grif- fin Dunne, who doesn't survive the attack, is the major source of comic relief in the film. He returns as a wise - cracking walking corpse with an in- creasingly ghoulish grin and unsettling appearance to warn David of his impending transformation After the attack, the situation begins to deteriorate for both (in Jack's case - literally)andthe restof the movie reveals David's "carnivorous lunar activities" and Jack's non - carnivorous looney ones. Naughton, the likeable Dr Pepper plugger, is appropriately all American and his acting ability contributes signifigantly to the combination of rip - roar- ing laughter and startled shudders. (No, he doesn't sing, "I'm a werewolf, he's a werewolf, she's a werewolf; wouldn't you like to be a werewolf too?") Dunne, whose character has some of the best lines in the dialogue, displays a deft comic touch. The soundtrack is laced with amusingly apropos tunes like "Blue Moon," "Moon- dance," and "Bad Moon Rising," which perfectly compliment the action of the movie. (But, tell me, where is Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London"?) Landis maintains the delicate balance between horror and humor until the final scene's excessive series of car crashes, reminiscent of the final scene of "Animal House." The ending is somewhat abrupt and is a weak finish to an otherwise well - made movie. Warning: the movie does con- tain an excessive amount of blood and gore, and is not for those with a weakstomach. One of the most riveting scenes is Naughton's transformation into a werewolf. The sequence demonstrates the expertise of the special effects department that is evident throughout the movie. However, unlike most recent horror movies, the main focus is not on the violent attacks on the victims, but rather on the story of the main character as he comes to realize that his friend's warnings are coming true. Catch this movie before the next full moon! Georgia Artists Sh ow Work Some of Georgia's most talented artists are represented in an exhibition currently at Rhodes Hall. Sponsored by the Georgia Department of Archives and History and the Georgia Art Bus Program, "Georgia Artists: New Acquisitions From the Georgia Art Bus" runs through December 31 . It is open to the public free Monday through Fri- day from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Rhodes Hall is located at 1516 Peachtree Street, N.W The show is made up of colorful paintings, silk screens, photographs, and sculptures. "Among other fine acquisitions, we are pleased to include the work of folk artist Nellie Mae Rowe and John T. Riddle, a 1 981 recipient of the Governor's Awards in the Arts," said Leslie Mims, Coordinator for the Art Bus Program. Also included is a clay "Noah's Ark" by Christine Moses and "Red Skull Smoking" by Steve Seaberg. In a state-wide competition 250 Georgia artists submitted works for previewing. The sixteen pieces in this show were chosen by an acquisitions com- mittee appointed by the chairman of the Georgia Council for the Arts and Humanities. Committee members included Peter Mornn, Curator of 20th Century Art at the High Museum of Art, Mrs Carl Sanders, the GCAH representative, and Curtis Patterson, Chairman of the Sculpture Department at the Atlanta College of Art. The Georgia Art Bus Program is sponsored by the Atlanta Arts Alliance, the Georgia Council for the Arts and Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts. "Georgia Artists New Ac- quisitions From the Georgia Art Bus" is one in a series of chang- ing exhibitions at Rhodes Hall, a castle - like Victorian building. It is a restoration project of the Georgia Archives, November 2, 1981 The Agnes Scott Profile Page 7 I Rollina Stones Tattoo You Rolling Stones Rock Atlanta by Catherine E. Fleming Rumors were spreading all across Atlanta, spilling over the edges into the suburbs of Decatur, East Point, Smyrna, Marietta - the Stones were com- ing to town. But no one knew where, or when the tickets would goon sale. The secret was well kept until Tuesday, Oct. 21, at approximately 2:30 a.m. when a proportionately few ea rly birds, tuned in to 96 Rock or 94- Q and heard their summons to appear at the Civic Center. Although some unfortunates had chosen the Fox Theatre as their futile roost, the rest took their correct Piedmont turns, to be greeted by a giant neon sign in victorious, go - ahead green - THE ROLLING STONES! Few bothered to lock their ca rs, it was simply parkandbeelineto obtain the best possible place in a line that seemed endless. Far ahead, the hoarse cries of the successful, of those who had realized the ultimate aim of everyone there, kept you hoping, that there would be one ticket with your name on it. The wait, however, had iust begun. Illicitly obtained tickets began to surface, some seats reaching an alleged price peak of $2500. Radio stations kept the public posted on official reports; pos- sible bogus tickets, police protective strategies, and ticket "scalping". At last, everything came to a head; a Monday morning sun came to shine on those who had never gone to sleep. Radio station 94 - Q awarded Stones tickets to listeners with enough determination to keep track of songs played and THEN be the 25th caller. Lunch time radios were tuned for late - night weather reports; at dinner dis- cussion turned to the Fox Theatre, and the masses of people that had converged at this one point. Word was that the best thing to do was to go early or late, or else be trampled by an impassioned mob. Peachtree traffic was slightly heavier than usual, surprisingly not getting much worse near the Fox if you took the right direc- tion, nor was parking com- plicated. It was only after you locked your doors and felt the slight breeze at your neck that your position was realized: one of 4,000 people who was, indeed going to take part in this great event. The crowds approaching the Fox grew and swa"rmed; and you took your place among them. Concert hopefuls stood near the gates, calling out to cars and approaching everyone, anyone. "You have a ticket to sell?" "Does anybody have an extra ticket!" Police were on hand in multiples, keeping down a relatively cool crowd. At the door, a check for cameras was made as well as for tickets. Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones drew an interesting variety of fans; 40 - year old men with glitter - painted faces, punk - rockers, fans with t - shirts proclaiming concert tours of various groups (for example, a jacket commemmorating a 1 965 Beatles tour), and other hard rock lovers. Most people wore Stones shirts and jeans, but there were unusual costumers, like girls with glittery dresses, and one who came in a referee shirt (and little else!). Lead guitarist of the Pretenders, and members of the group Kansas were a few of the personalities who attended. The show opened with the Stray Cats, a rock group of the 50's influence. The trio, who have recently appeared on late - night television, performed well enough to keep the Stones - hungry fans at bay. Their set was followed by a long break, in which the impatient crowd was kept waiting until close to 10:30. Then, the curtains closed, reopening minutes later to present Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones to a standing, screaming audience. "Under My Thumb" set the pace for a really live evening. "Honky Tonk Woman," "Shattered," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Start Me Up," "Brown Sugar," "Jumping Jack Flash;" all of the songs met with roaring approval, and the evening went on that way until 12:45 a.m. Ann Page and Susan Scoville were simply unwilling to accept the consequences of not atten- ding this concert, and they came back ecstatic. "Mick Jagger stole the show and was definitely in top form. To the very end of the concert, he was jumping around on stage, doing his famous an- tics and expressions, tearing off his shirt . . . having a great timel The music was AWESOME, of course, and kept everyone on their feet." Virginia Bouldin, however, was not quite in agreement, although in the beginning she looked forward to the concert. "Having dreamed of seeing the Rolling Stones in concert, Mon- day night promised to be an exciting evening. " It turned out to be Mick Jagger himself that disappointed Virginia most. "(His) voice, when it was not lost in the music, could not hold a note or reach any range." She noted, as well, that the "spastic skeleton" played the guitar on few songs. Virginia was impressed with guitarists Ron Wood and Keith Richards. Keith played a cut from the album, Tatoo You and "kept himself amused (by) jamming with Ron." Ron, she added, kept the audience, and Virginia, no doubt, amused by mimicking Jagger, and pretending to hit him over the head with a guitar Celene Howard found the beginning rather slow, but she came to enjoy the music more as the concert went on. The concert closed, and crowds screamed in vain for an encore before dispersing. The streets were alive with cars, cops, fans, TV cameras and news photographers. Ed Neiss, general manager at the Fox Theatre, was very pleased with the controlled outcome. 'The concert went very smoothly from my point of view, facilities management. The audience reacted well, and we had a minimum of problems." Neiss cited the Atlanta Police force as a main factor in the presiding calm," We had excellent support and security from the Atlanta Police; they worked well with us in providing a well controlled en- vironment." Thanks to them, the Fox had emptied in no more than 20 minutes. Left with memories, ticket stubs and Stones memorobilia (there were even shirts for out- side crowds bearing the slogan "I missed the Stones concert"), even, Virginia Bouldin agreed that "seeing the Stones was a once in a lifetime experience . . . as long as you don't expect too much." The most positive last words came from Susan Scoville and Ann Page, like others for whom the concert was a vivid, dream, 'The Rolling Stones are the most phenomenal rock band of all time - What more can you say?" Kirk Series Off To Good Start With Vasary by Baird Lloyd Tuesday evening, October 27, 1981, marked the opening concert of the inaugural season of the Kirk Concert Series. Tamas Vasary, the pianist in performance is one of the finest musicians this campus has been priviledged to host. The evenings' program, consisting of pieces by Mozart, Liszt and Chopin, presented an excellent opportunity for the exhibition of Mr. Vasary's talent and technical skill. The program began with Mozart's Fantasia in C minor, K. 475 and Sonata in C minor, K. 457. The two pieces, performed without a break, were written in the C minor key most often iden- tified with Beethoven, but here, Mozart expresses emotions similar to those found in Beethoven's C minor works. The Mozart Fantasia consisted of 5 sections. The opening Adagio began with bass notes followed by quick changes in harmony, and offset by a soothing passage in D minor. The Allegro con- tained two contrasting ideas which reach a climax followed by an uncontrolled and un- predictable Andantino. The next section, Piu Allegro, seems to clear the air with it's storm - like qualities before it moves into the final Tempo 1 . The sonata in C minor, K. 457 consists of three sections. The first is a shifting Motto Allegro. The following Adagio takes a simple phrase and presents it in many ways. The final Allegro As- sai links the Sonata to the Fan- tasia. Here Mozart makes use of the entire keyboard. Vasary next performed Liszt's Deux Legendes 1, 2. The first begins very much like a harp. The second begins quietly and low, working its way up the keyboard. A great deal of technical skill is necessary to preform to lightening - quick in- tricacies of Liszt and Vasary quite abley displayed this skill. Following an intermission, the program was concluded with Chopin's 1 2 studies, Op. 25. This piece shows Chopin's mastery, the sections play against each other and intertwine themselves. They range from sweet lightness to jovial to thundering in intensity. The Chopin not only uses the whole range of the keyboard, but en- compasses both the emotion of Mozart and the technical in- tricacies of Liszt. Mr. Vasary returned to perform three encores, all Chopin pieces. They included a Fantasia from Rigeletto, a Magurka, and a Revolutionary etude. If the concerts to follow equal the quality of Mr. Vasary's performance, Agnes Scott College will benefit greatly from the loving bequest of Miss Mary Wallace Kirk. Faculty Musicians Entertain by Baird Lloyd Tuesday evening, October 20, the Agnes Scott Music Department presented "An Evening of French Melodies", featuring Jean Lemonds, soprano, and Jay Fuller, piano. The themes of the songs, all in French, ranged from songs about spring to love songs. Fren- ch, like Italian, is a beautiful language when sung. It is en- joyable listening even if one does not understand the words. The first section, entitled "Les Nuits D'Ete", contained four songs. The first song, "Villanelle", was a lilting piece about the coming of spring. "Se Spectre de la Rose" dealt with the spectre of the rose worn by a young girl to a dance. The music of "L'Absence", the third piece, complimented the melancholy yearnings for a beloved. The tempo of 'L'lle In- connue" (Unknown Island) portrayed the urgency of the question in the first lines, "Tell me, young fair one, Where do you wish o go?" The second section, con- taining poems by Paul Verlaine set to music by Gabriel Faure (1 845 - 1 924), was entitled "La Bonne Chanson". The five melodies ranged in mood from the quick, emotional "Puisque I'aube grandit" (Since Dawn Awoke), to the quiet restiveness of "Avant que tu ne t'en ailles" (Before you disappear), and ended with a celebration of the return of Spring, "L'Hiver cesse". "Proses Lyriques", the third section, featured several beautiful melodies by Claude Debussy (1 862 - 1 918). The first two, "De Soir" (Evening) and "De Reve" (A Dream), were very lyrical pieces. The second two pieces, were based on poems by Paul Bourget. "Voici que le printemps" (Here is Spring) was a quick little song about "that nimble son of April" - spring. The music of "Paysage Sentimental " (Sentimental Landscape) com- plimented the theme very well. The program was concluded with "Chansons Villageoises", two songs about spring based on poems by Maurice Fombeure, with music by Francis Poulenc (1899- 1963). Page 8 The Agnes Scott Profile November 2, 1981 Funk Family Leads Fall Tennis by Sue Feese Georgia Tech's Invitational Tournament scheduled for the weekend of Oct 24 was cancelled due to inclement weather conditions. As a result, the Agnes Scott tennis team's fall season came to an unexpected early close. The tournament's participants would have included all of Agnes Scott's fall opponents as well as Ga. Tech and Emory, schools which always field strong teams. Though the tournament would have provided valuable match play experience for the ASC team, the five dual matches of the fall season revealed a r elatively young team which had 9nthusiasm, determination, and 3 desire to improve, all of which nade the fall season a success. Moreover, the team showed the potential for an excellent spring season. The team finished with a 2-3 record against schools which gave partial or full tennis scholarships. Agnes Scott does not give athletic scholarships. Highlights of the season in- cluded wins against Berry College and Brenau College in the last two matches of the season. In addition, an aggres- sive style of doubles was developed. This year's team counted heavily on the five returning players from last season, who this year occupied the top five positions on the team. They are: # 1 Sue Feese (Soph),# 2 Sue Mason (Soph)? 3 Kathy Fulton (Sr), # 4 Virginia Bouldin (Jr), and# 5 Nancy Grif- fith (Soph). New members of the team are Jennifer Clay 6, # 7 Joan Hetzler,#8 Charlotte Ward, and Annie Meador # 9. These new members added much depth to the team. The five returning players are all close friends and are known as the "Funk Family." "Music with a beat" and cards are two favorites of the team and the en- joyment of these activities uses up much of the spare time between matches. On a more serious level, these players were part of a team which placed third in both state and regional competition last year. This year they hope to qualify for the nationals, a goal narrowly missed last season. The qualifying state and regional tournaments are held at the end of the spring season. Under the excellent coaching of JoAnn Messick, this goal is quite pos- sible. Individually, each player hopes to accomplish the personal goals which she sets at the beginning of each season. These goals a re reflected in each player's style and motivation. Sophomore Sue Feese, Sadie to the team, returns to the number one position on the Agnes Scott Tennis Team. After playing four years as #1 on her high school tennis team in Dan- ville, Kentucky, Sue moved into the same slot at Agnes Scott her freshman year. Last season, she was named to the All - Conference team and was voted the team's most dedicated player. This fall, playing against Division II teams, (Agnes Scott has a Division III ranking), Sue had a win - loss record of 1 - 4. Sue's game plan is characterized by steady play; she prefers to wait for her opponents to make mistakes. Besides play- ing tennis, Sue is an Honor and Dana Scholar, jazz pianist for the London Fog group, Sports editor for the Profile, and a member of the Athletic Association. Another sophomore, Sue Mason, holds the number two position. Known as Louella or Skimp (for her numerous net hanging shots), Sue moves up three spots from the numberfive position she played last year. At #5, she reached the finals of both the state and regional tournaments last spring and was named to the All -Tourney Team in both. She was also voted the most improved player by her teammates. Sue played #1 in 8th, 9th, and 1 0th grades for her high school team in Swainsboro, Women I Watch Valium -from Medical Self-Care Women take Valium and otnbr tranquilizers twiceasoften as men, and they account for 60 percent of overdose cases admitted to emergency rooms. Doctors prescribe Valium for every age group and class of women from 12 year old girls weathering first menses fears to elderly widows struggling with loneliness and boredom. Women see doc- tors considerably more often than men for routine check-ups, Pap smears and pelvic exams. Although they may be quite healthy, if they mention any depression or lower back pain, they may be given a prescription for Valium. Recently, feminist writers have discussed the impact of tranquilizer advertisements in medical journals on doc- tors: The vast majority of these advertisements portray women as hypochondriacs and malingerers who can be dismissed with a fast prescription for Valium, which some doctors call "vitamin V." Women should thinktwice before accepting a Valium prescription. In addition to its many other adverse consequences, it may cause menstrual irregularities Pregnant women should not take Valium at all. Exposure to t ran - quilizers during the first three months of pregnancy increases the child's risk of cleft palate by a factor of four. And because diazepam crosses the placenta, the fetus can become addicted. If a pregnant woman takes Valium regularly during pregnancy, the new - born may experience withdrawal symptoms vomiting, diarrhea, tremors and muscle tension within six hours after birth. Four Funk Family members strike a winning pose while Virginia (Clarice) Bouldin demonstrates her match winning concentration. From left to right are Kathy (Louanda) Fulton, Nancy (Cat in the Hat) Griffith, Sue (Sadie) Feese, and Sue (Louella) Mason. Fortunately, the Funk Five play tennis better than they dress. Ga. Her game style is characterized by topspin and a strong forehand, which gives Sue one of the most aggressive playing styles on the team. What she lacks in patience, she ac- counts for in winning shots. Out- side of tennis, Sue is an Econ. Major and is on the Silhouette staff. Kathy Fulton, a senior, plays the^3 position. Her "funk" name is Louanda and she has moved up the ladder each year. In her sophomore year, Kathy experienced her first taste ever of competitive tennis, holding the^ position in her first year on the team. Last year, she played at #4 and was named to the All - Tourney team of the Regional Tournament where she reached the finals. This fall, her unusually steady game has gained more powerful strokes and improved strategy. Ad- ditionally, she continues to be one of the leaders on the team, leading by her consistent wins and sportsmanship. Kathy is an Alcohol Many common drugs contain surprisingly large amounts of alcohol. Alcohol can cause serious reactions in people tak- ing diabetes medications, an- tidepressants, tranquilizers, as- pirin, nitroglycerin or Flagyl (metronidazole). Before you take any liquid medicine, read the label carefully, then if you are concerned about any ingredients, doublecheck with a pharmacist Econ. Major, a Dana Scholar, a member of the Women's Year Executive Board, President of the Athletic Association and an intern at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At#4, junior Virginia Bouldin (Clarice) has had an outstanding fall season. She finished singles play undefeated, showing a perfect 5 - 0 record against upper division schools. Last season at #6, Virginia was also a consistent winner who was vic- torious in over 60% of her mat- ches. This season Virginia also teamed with Sue Feese at the #1 doubles position. Virginia is the most determined player on the team. Whenever she is faced with a three set match, she says "I never lose, ever." Because of her determination, Virginia has won all three of her three set matches this fall. Her game has gained much consistency since last spring, but whenever the op- portunity arises, Virginia will go to the net and play aggressive tennis. Although she didn't play in Common Alcohol Content of Selected Drugs for Colds, Coughs and Congestion: Comtrex 20% Nyquil Cough Syrup 25% Vicks Formula 44 10% Selected Drugs for Colds, Coughs and Congestion without ALCOHOL: Actifed Syrup, Hycodan Syrup, Omni- Tuss, Orthoxicol Syrup, Sudafed Syrup and Triaminicol Syrup tennis in high school because of a conflict with gymnastics, Virginia has played in many age group tournaments in Huntsville, her hometown, and received several sportsmanship trophies. Virginia is an Econ. and English major and is a reporter and proofreader for the Profile. Sophomore Nancy Griffith is the last returning player. At #5, Nancy's game has become more consistent while retaining many of her naturally powerful strokes. Also known as Ophelia and Cat - in - the - Hat, Nancy is one of the mostpowerful players on the team. Last season at #2, Nancy had a few problems with inconsistency, but she seems to have conquered tnem during the past fall season. Nancy played tennis all four years of high school in Jonesboro, Ga. In high school, she qualified for the Peachtree World of Tennis and last year she reached the semifinals of the state tournament. Nancy is a Fren- ch/Math major and a SAR.

January 18, 1982 "Break-In Alarms Campus" by Marcia Whetsel Hopkins dormitory was broken into on the night of Dec. 31, 1981 and Jan. 1, 1982 and certain items were discovered stolen. During the night the ASC campus police discovered two separate entries. At 6 p.m. on Dec. 31, the officer on duty discovered that a lobby window screen had been removed and that the 48 by 18 inch window had been broken out. At this time three room doors were found that had been opened by means of breaking the door knobs. The other rooms were checked for entries, but the campus police officers could not ascertain whether there had been any thefts, since they did not know the original condition and content of the rooms. They did, however dust for finger prints and found burglars' tools on the floor of the laundry room, as well as hand trucks, used to carry heavy items, lying in the yard outside of the building during their investigation. The window was taped shut and the officers remained in and around the building conducting their investigation from ap- proximately 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The building was checked by the officers on duty every hour after that time. At the 2 a.m. check on Jan. 1 , the building was found to be secure, but between ap- proximately 2:30 and 3 a.m. another entry was made, which was discovered by the ASC campus police at the 3 a.m. security check. The tape on the window was found missing and the lobby television set that had been there when the building was searched at 6 p.m. was missing. The officers could not determine whether or not any other thefts had occurred because of their lack of knowledge of students' per- sonal belongings that were left over the winter break. After the officers' investigation the broken window was replaced by a private Decatur glass - fitter. Hopkins residents were not informed of the break - in over the winter break, but discovered it upon their return, and made a list of personal belongings missing. Stolen items include: the lobby television set, several students' television sets and stereo systems, clock radios, shoes, monogrammed sheets, jewelry, clothing articles, li- quor, and one hand - made quilt. Many rooms had been searched and students found items in their rooms belonging to other Hopkins residents, as well as some items, such as the tools found in the laundry room, not belonging to any student. Tracy Wannamaker, the dorm president, said that as far as could be determined, all butfive rooms had been disturbed and/ or had had items stolen. The college insurance policy does not cover the personal belongings of students in residence against theft or fire. Some home owner's policies cover students living at school, and the students involved are urged to check their parents' insurance policies for possible coverage. Mr. Al Evans, the director of the ASC campus police, said in reference to the burglary, that the ASC police is working with the detective department of the City of Decatur police on several leads as to the identity of the burglars and the time of the burglary or burglaries. Ac- cording to the ASC police, no person or no vehicle was seen in the vicinity of Hopkins for up to thirty hours prior to the first break - in and during the time frame of both entries. According to the campus police, the actual burglary probably took place sometime during the two days immediate- ly preceeding the entry in- volving the broken window. photo by Kathy Leggett Winter storms immobilized Atlanta on Jan. 12, and Agnes Scott canceled classes for the third time in the history of the college. Campbell Campaign Commences by Elisabeth Smith The kick off of the fund campaign for the renovation of Campbell will be January 23. The overall chairman of the campaign is Mr. L. L. Gellerstedt, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Paul McCain in the Fund Office also has an important role. The groundwork for this campaign began in the fall as the committee members sought key pledges. Beginning on January 23, members will try to contact as many people as possible in the Atlanta area. There will be a local campaign on campus during spring quarter. The funds raised will be used to renovate thescience building for reasons of safety and up- dating instruction. The cam- paign goal is to raise $3 million for construction work and equipment. Construction began right after Thanksgiving and is scheduled to be com- pleted by September. During the winter, work will be done on the wing of Campbell which extends toward the parking lot behind Presser.
