Gellerstedt, officially introduc-
ed Agnes Scott's new presi-
dent, Dr. Ruth Schmidt to the
campus community.

literatures; Nancy Hurt Man-
son, assistant professor of
biology; Becky B. Prophet, in-
structor in theatre; and Joyce

follows: Suzette J. Doyon-
Bernard, Mary Wallace Kirk

visiting assistant professor of
art; Jutta I. Hall, lecturer in
German; Elizabeth Proctor

director of accounting, Mary
K. Jarboe from administrative
assistant in the admissions of-
fice to registrar and Rosa

Pres. Schmidt discussed
the values of being a
generalist, rather than a
specialist. She noted that
Agnes Scott offers a fine
liberal arts curriculum.

July 6 was Pres. Schmidt's
first day in office. She said her
first goal was to become ac-
quainted with the principle of-
ficers of the College. Since
then she has been busy with
presidential duties as well as
settling Into the President's
home on S. Candler. She said
that an obvious goal is to
focus on admissions. Enroll-
ment may be down this year
because the Reagan budget
cuts scared many people, she
explained. However, she said
that people should be aware
that ASC does a fine job of
meeting financial need.

As treasurer of the Associa-
tion of American Colleges, Dr.
Schmidt spent last Sunday
and Monday in Washington,
D.C. She said that ASC has
been a longtime member of
the organization and that she

New ASC Security System
Offers Unique Combination

by Marcia G. Whetsel

Foremost among the
changes on campus since last
spring are the newly installed
computerized lock system on
the main entrance to the dor-
mitories and the camera-
sound systems in three cam-
pus parking areas.

The new lock system, which
went into effect on Sept. 6, in-
cludes a computerized lock on
the former "key doors" of each
dormitory. This lock opens
when a student slides her
white plastic card, coded with
an access number, through
the lock apparatus on the
door. Each dormitory lock
system is programmed to
grant access only to the

students living in that dor-
mitory. If a card is stolen or
lost, the code number in the
card will be removed from the
computer and anyone trying to
use the card will be denied ac-
cess to the dormitory. The
cards can be replaced for a fee
of $5. On the old key system,
when an outside door key was
lost, the lock had to be chang-
ed and new keys issued to
each student all at the cost
of $50 to the student losing
the key. ^

Each time the door is open-
ed, the code number, the date,
the time, and a notation
designating the granting or de-
nying of access, is recorded
on a print-out sheet by the

computer in the Campus
Police Office. This procedure
will allow the officers in the of-
fice to know if someone with
an invalid card is trying to get
into the dorm.

When these lock systems
are on (Hopkins 24 hours,
Main 12 a.m. to 9 a.m., and
the others 12 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
it is imperative that the doors
not be propped open. If the
door is propped open and the
lock system is on, there is a
possibility that a transformer
could be burned out. Students
are urged to use care to insure
that these doors close secure-
ly and are not left open for
long periods of time.

The camera-sound system
went into operation in July.
They are placed in the Hopkins
parking lot, the South Candler
parking lot (the "boonies"),
and the hockey and tennis
field area. The camera and the
sound system are in one loca-
tion at the Hopkins and South
Candler locations. The third
system has its camera on the
edge of the hockey field and
its microphone-sound system
half-way up the path to the
observatory.

The camera-sound systems
are monitored in the Campus
Police Office. The cameras
will be panning at times and
set on still shots at times.
They are both light and sound

Scott: to educate, she said. In
her convocation address, she

ploration."

Memorial Service
Held for Zenn

A memorial service for Elizabeth Gould Zenn, chairman of
the Agnes Scott College Department of Classical Languages
and Literatures, will be held this Thursday at 5 p.m. in Gaines
Chapel. Professor Zenn died Aug. 21 in Washington, D.C,
after an illness of several months.

Leading the service will be Wallace M. Alston, president
emeritus of Agnes Scott. He will be assisted by Raymond J.
Martin, Agnes Scott organist, and Michael McDowell, pro-
fessor emeritus of music. Agnes Scott President Ruth
Schmidt will preside.

In addition to holding the memorial service, Agnes Scott
has honored Professor Zenn with the establishment of the
Elizabeth Gould Zenn Memorial Fund.

Professor Zenn, who joined the Agnes Scott faculty in 1947,
was the senior member of the faculty in length of service to
the college.

Eighteen RTC's Enroll

by Jane Zanca

The Return-to-College Pro-
gram at Agnes Scott College
accepted 18 non-traditional
age students for the fall
quarter of the 1982-83 school
year. The new R.T.C. students
bring to Scott a variety of
women with professional,
academic, and life skills. Their
educational backgrounds
range from two students who
have already completed their
degrees at other colleges, and
who have returned for enrich-
ment purposes only, to
students who have never
taken college-level work and
have been out of the academic
world for several decades.

One entering R.T.C, Mrs.
Robin MacLeod, has a
daughter, Laurie McLeod, who
is currently enrolled at Agnes
Scott as a senior. The mother -
and - daughter team is not a
first, however; Mrs. Pat Gan-
non of ASC Administrative
Services is an R.T.C. and the
mother of Mary Ann Gannon
'81.

Orientation for the new
R.T.C.'s was held separately
from freshman orientation and
included an official welcome
from President Ruth Schmidt
and Dean Julia Gary, as well
as visits and informative talks
by student leaders and the
various college departments
and services.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

-Extension 385

by Laurie McBrayer

Discover Decatur. Up-
perclassmen often chuckle
when they see this slogan
printed on T-shirts or bumper
stickers. After three years in
the city of Decatur, not much
remains to be discovered. In
fact, there wasn't a lot to
discover in Decatur beyond
the campus when we first ar-
rived. What we have
discovered is ourselves.

Agnes Scott traditionally
focuses on the freshman class
in the first few weeks of fall.
Likewise, I will address the
class of '86. The most impor-
tant discoveries you will make
this year will be in the present.

Each day at Agnes Scott you
will learn more about
yourselves and the world.

It is most important to con-
centrate on the present. I
learned this last year, follow-
ing my trip to New York City,
my place of birth. I was look-
ing foward to seeing places
my parents had described.
However, the Polyclinic
Hospital where I was born is
now a parking lot and the
minister who baptized me is
retired. The only real proof that
I was born there is my birth
certificate which I have seen
at home. What I learned is that
concentrating on the past is
not so important.

When I reflect on my three
years at Agnes Scott, I can't
help remembering studying in
the library, writing papers, and
taking exams. But I am
thankful that I can recall much
more than that. I especially
remember seminar settings in
the classroom, individual con-
ferences with professors, op-
portunities for leadership,
outstanding cultural events on
campus, and friendships. ASC
gives you a gift of responsible
freedom. It is your job to make
choices. Do not miss the
special benefits of ASC that I
have mentioned. They are vital
to discovering yourself.

Note Black Cat Rules

1. Black Cat is a time for
fun, common sense and the
promotion of sisterhood.
Remember the golden rule: Do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you.

2. Pranks are always part of
Black Cat, but take care not to
damage a person's pride or

the special rules for fall
quarter freshmen (i.e., curfew
and class attendance).

5. All Black Cat activities
must take place on campus or
in faculty housing. No road
tripping allowed.

6. Clean up your own
messes, they are not the
maids' responsibilities.

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

close mailboxes.

8. All freshmen must be in-
formed of the mascot as soon
as it is chosen and the mascot
can not be changed once it is
chosen by vote.

9. Black Cat offers no ex-
cuse for late or unsatisfactory
academic work.

10. Black Cat is the time to
unify your class and count on
total participation. Everyone is
a part of Black Cat.

Have a safe, fun and Happy

SGA President

Trusting that each of you has already carefully read your
1982-83 Student Handbook, let me be so bold to repeat myself,
"There's no piace like home. There's no place like Agnes
Scott!" And on behalf of Rep Council and the entire Student
Government Association, it is my pleasure to be one of many to
welcome each of you, especially new students, to another ex-
citing year at Agnes Scott, our "home-away-from-home."

Some of us have been here since September 4 making plans
and preparations which should make this year a very produc-
tive one. I would like to take this opportunity to thank President
Schmidt, the Dean of Students' office, Rosemary Kriner, Al
Evans, and those students who volunteered their time and con-
structive ideas which made our Fall Retreat a success. In
reviewing the Student Handbook, a successful project of the
SGA Committee led by Helen Stacey, Rep Council noted that
several items had been misprinted. As you know, Rep worked
last spring to extend library hours to 11:45 p.m. on Sunday
through Thursday nights. The library will be open until 10:30 on
Friday night, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and Sunday
hours begin at 1:30 p.m. I urge you to take full advantage of
these extended hours so that we may continue this policy.
Also, we will have new parietal hours in the dormitories this
year. Males will be allowed to visit from 6 p.m. until midnight
on Friday and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Feel free to ask your Dorm Council representatives if you have
any quetions regarding this new privilege.

Because this article is a vital part of communications be-
tween Rep Council and the ASC community, I would like to
share some other important information that is not available in
your student handbook. Petitions are now being taken for posi-
tions on the search committee to locate a new director of our
Career Planning Office (CPO). One junior and one senior will be
chosen to represent our student ideas and concerns on this
committee. If you would like more information, please ask a
member of Rep Council or go by the CPO office. Place your
petitions in Box 114. Let me remind you that Rep Council will
continue to meet each Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Rebekah Rep
Council Room and you are cordially invited to attend our
meetings. I will also be continuing my "office hours" from 7:30
to 9 on Monday nights in the SGA office located near the
Rebekah lobby. You may reach me there by calling EXTEN-
SION 385. I am looking forward to working with each of you.
Again, I welcome you and wish you a very successful year.

I have heard it argued that
discrimination based on sex
and sexist attitudes is rapidly
diminishing in today's society.
It is difficult to gauge this sort
of thing, but I would like to
discuss a relevant experience
that I had in an Atlanta theater
this summer.

On Aug. 20, I went with
another ASC student to see a
movie in a local theater where
"Young Doctors in Love" was
also playing. As we left the
theater, we stopped by the
restroom. On the doors, as a
promotional gimmick I sup-
pose, were taped the signs
'Doctors' and 'Nurses'. You
guessed it . . . the sign labeled
'Doctors' was over the 'Men'
sign and 'Nurses' was over the
'Ladies' sign. The insinuation
(albeit subtle and seemingly
inconsequential) that only
men can be doctors and only
women can be nurses was im-
mediately obvious to me.

Apparently it was obvious to
others because someone had
written on the sign labeled
'Nurses', "Women can be doc-
tors too!" The more I thought
about it, the more offended
and upset I became over this
sexist gimmick. After discuss-
ing it with my movie partner,
who was also affronted, we
decided to register our com-
plaint with the manager. As we

left the restroom area, we
removed both signs and found
the manager a woman. (I
emphasize her gender
because of the reaction we
received.)

I approached her and began
to explain that we found the
placement of the signs on the
restroom doors offensive, but
she lashed out at me, as I was
explaining that they blatently
promulgated a sexist attitude
toward both women and men
and their choice of careers.
She did not understand what
we found offensive, and I had
to spell out to her that the
signs clearly imply that only
men can be doctors and only
women can be nurses.

"(The Signs) blatently pro-
mulgated a sexist
attitude."

By this time the manager
was in quite a huff and my
friend and I apologized for
removing the signs without
her consent and left in order to
avoid a bigger scene than was
already developing again,
voicing our disapproval.

Upon reflection, I must ad-
mit that we probably should
have voiced our complaint to
the manager first, and then

asked her or him to remove the
signs (probably with no result).

Possibly the promulgation
of sex-role stereotypes by this
promotional campaign was
unintentional on the part of
the manager or the studio,
Twentieth Century Fox.
However, it is through these
subtle sexist statements (even
if made inadvertently) that sex-
stereotypes and the attitudes
about women and so-called
"acceptable" career areas are
reinforced.

My confrontation with the
manager probably failed to
educate her as to of what a
sexist statement consisted,
but I made my opinion known.

I do not believe that sex
discrimination is gone, even
though we have come a long
way. (And I have heard ASC
students make statements to
the effect that it is gone.) This
occurence, probably a small
example in comparison with
the experiences of other
students, alumnae, faculty
members, and our mothers,
clearly indicates to me that
these detrimental attitudes
still exist in our society.

I am convinced that in order
to change these attitudes,
each one of us should be
aware of them and take a
stand where it is possible.

No. Carolina Dancers Perform Tomorrow

The North Carolina Dance
Theater, hailed as one of to-
day's most versatile and ex-
citing dance companies, is
coming to Atlanta. Just back
from a critically acclaimed
European tour, the company
will give a performance tomor-
row, Sept. 21. Curtain will be at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall, and
admission will be $2.50 for
Agnes Scott students, faculty
and staff; $5 for the general
public.

The North Carolina Dance
Theater will perform George
Balanchine's classical ballet,
"Allegro Brillante," Senta
Driver's avant-garde "Reset-
tings," Oscar Araiz's modern
dance work, "Women" and
Salvatore Aiello's contem-
porary ballet, "Piano Concerto
#1."

Former Atlanta dancer Lauri
Worrill is featured in "Reset-
tings," which was commis-
sioned by the American Dance

Festival. The North Carolina
Dance Theater presented the
world premiere of this work at
the opening of the 1981
American Dance Festival in
Durham, N.C.

After being proclaimed one
of the biggest hits of the 1981
Spoleto Festival U.S.A. in
Charleston, S.C., the company
performed this summer at the
"Dance at Aix" Festival in
southern France and was
again applauded as one of to-
day's most dynamic and
talented dance companies.
French dance critics par-
ticularly praised "Resettings,"
hailing it "a masterpiece of
post-modern dance." The
critic for the influential "Le
Figaro" called it "the most im-
portant work since Twyla
Tharp's 'Push Comes to
Shove'."

The North Carolina Dance
Theater, founded in 1970 by
Robert Lindgren, is a touring

repertory company of 16
dancers who perform both
classical and contemporary
works. The company's eclectic
repertory encompases a wide
variety of styles and moods,
ranging from George Balan-

chine's "Allegro Brillante" to
Charles Czarny's "Table Man-
ners" and Dianne Markham's
"Ritual/Habitual."

Based at the North Carolina

School of the Arts in Winston-
Salem, North Carolina Dance
Theater has appeared in more
than 200 cities in 25 states
from New York to Florida,
throughout the Southeast and
as far west as Alaska.

Physical Improvements made
at ASC during Summer

Extensive renovations were
also done in the President's
home to prepare for President
Schmidt's arrival. The kitchen
was remodeled, all floors were
refinished, the walls complete-
ly repapered and the exterior
of the house repainted.

In order for Agnes Scott to
continue receiving federal
funds, it was necessary for the
college to Install accommoda-
tions for the handicapped, ac-
cording to Mr. Black. Access
ramps were built for Dana,
Campbell, Buttrick, the library,
the dining hall and Walters

dorm. Numerous curve cuts
were also constructed around
campus.

Other physical im-
provements to the campus in-
cluded remodeling the ac-
counting office, refinishing
the gym floor, painting all
dorms, and doing preventive
maintenance, much of which
included additional security
measures.

Mr. Black also said that in
the next two to three weeks, a
major renovation of the infir-
mary would begin.

automatically focus in on loud
noises such as screams or
loud conversations. They also
can be used by students who
need an escort from the South

areas back to her dormitory.
She may call to the camera
that she needs an escort as
she enters the parking lot and
the officer in the office can
talk back to her on the speaker
system. This eliminates the
necessity of students going by
the Campus Police Office or
going to a telephone on her
way onto the campus late at
night.

This combination of com-
puter lock system and camera-
sound system gives Agnes
Scott a unique security
system. Last spring, when Mr.
Al Evans, director of the ASC
Campus Police, began looking
at various new security
systems, none like this one ex-
isted. He said that before any
decisions were made as to the
equipment purchased, the
systems at Georgia State
University, the University of
Houston, and the University of
Florida were observed. These
universities rely upon a
telephone "hot line" placed in
parking lots. Mr. Evans
pointed out that the flaw in
these systems lies in the fact
that when someone is being
attacked there is no way to get

system eliminates that
necessity^

Mr. Evans said that he sat
down with two engineers and
explained what he wanted.
They then came up with the
combination of the computer
lock and the camera-sound
system. Agnes Scott is cur-
rently the only college or
university with a system just
like this one.

Now, according to Evans,
Georgia State University,
Emory University, the Universi-
ty of Florida, and Georgia Tech
campus police directors are
requesting to observe the
Agnes Scott system and
receive instruction as to its
operation and installment.

Mr. Evans emphasized that
the camera-sound systems are
not intended to "spy" on
anyone, or make Agnes Scott
into a "police state". The Cam-
pus Police is only interested in
insuring the security of
students and other personnel,
and the new equipment will
enable them to be more effec-
tive in their jobs. He also
stressed that this new system
does not make the campus
automatically 100% safe, and
students should continue to
use caution and common
sense in their movement on
campus and in the Atlanta
^rea.

Agnes Scott workers kept
busy during the summer mon-
ths by completing many
physical improvements to the
campus. According to Vaughn
Black, Director of the Physical
Plant, the major project was
the completion of the Camp-
bell Hall renovation. While the
majority of work was done by
outside contractors, Agnes
Scott personnel built all the
new cabinets for the building
and moved equipment back in-
to Campbell. All work is
scheduled to be completed in
the next week.

Campus Digest

Five members of the Alpha
Tau Omega fraternity at the
University of Georgia are
awaiting trial after being
charged with beating a
newspaper deliveryman. The
trial may be delayed because
the local district attorney
wants to review each of the
five suspect's involvement in
the alleged assault.

The ATO members are
charged with beating a man
who works for an Atlanta
newspaper as a deliveryman.
The charges stem from an inci-
dent in March. According to
police, the man was making
his delivery round when he en-
countered the fraternity
members at 3:30 a.m.

In the complaint filed by the
man, the incident started
when both parties verbally in-
sulted each other. The man
said one of the suspects kick-
ed him in the face while he
was seated on his car.

From that point on things
started getting rough, accor-
ding to the complaint. The
man picked up a steel pipe and
smashed one of the fraternity
member's car windows. The
ATOs then attacked the man
from behind and kicked him in
the face and neck. His jaw was
fractured by the beating and
had to be wired shut for a few
weeks.

Lawyers for the fraternity
men say the incident did start
as an exchange of insults, but
that the deliveryman swerved
his car into the path of the
fraternity men's car for no ap-
parent reason. The lawyers
also maintain that the steel
pipe was meant for one of the
ATO's heads rathers than the
car window.

The president of the fraterni-
ty says no disciplinary action
will be taken because the
house is technically closed
during the summer session
and the fraternity's tribunal
group that deals with such ac-
tion was not active at that
time.

The ATO leader also says
two or three of the members
didn't have much to do with
the incident and were just at
the scene. All five men have
pleaded not guilty to the
assault charges.

1914 to 1918 and some of the
literary means by which that
experience has been
remembered and turned into
conventions and myths.

The New York Times Book

Review called the book "an im-
portant contribution to our
understanding of how we
came to make World War I part
of our minds." The New Yorker
described it as "a learned and
well-balanced book that is
also bright and sensitive," and
Lionel Trilling said it was "an
original and brilliant piece of
cultural history and one of the
most deeply moving books I
have read in a long time."

A new cigarette tax may
help college students in
Massachusetts. Under a bill
introduced in the state house
recently, a new 2c tax on each
cigarette package would be
converted to state student aid
funds, paying for a state work-
study program, loan and grant
programs. The minimum state
grants would be increased
from a $300-$900 range to a
range of $500 up to half of tui-
tion.

A new wave of dissatisfac-
tion is sweeping the legal pro-
fession as lawyers are
deciding that their jobs just
aren't all they're cracked up to
be.

According to the Wall Street
Journal, 40% of 2,750 lawyers
under 35 polled were
dissatisfied with their jobs.
Boring tasks, long working
hours and pressure to get and
keep clients were cited as
reasons for leaving their pro-
fession.

An overabundance of
lawyers has added to the pro-
blem. Many lawyers end up
taking jobs far less important
than they had hoped for, and
job dissatisfaction sets in
almost immediately. The
monotony of settling traffic
cases or being go-fers for
senior partners takes a lot of
the glamour out of their
chosen profession.

Many of the lawyers who
take a job in another field are
not as well paid as in the legal
profession, but they find it to
be much more satisfying and
emotionally uplifting to be in a
job they enjoy.

Smith College will retain its
tax-exempt status, after a suit
against the school was
dismissed. The town of Whate-
ly sued Smith for property
taxes on the grounds the
school's all-female admis-
sions policy violated the state
equal rights amendment. The
state Supreme Court didn't
rule on the tax-exempt issue,
however, dismissing the suit
on the grounds Whately had
no standing to sue. The case
was closely watched by other
women's schools who could
face similar challenges.

"Wonderful Wednesday" is
no more at Emory U. When
that school converted from a
quarter to a semester system,
it had to sacrifice a schedule
that gave all undergraduates
Wednesday off from classes.
Students say the change will
cut down on Tuesday night
parties, but will also eliminate
prime study time. The last
Wonderful Wednesday was
celebrated when 2,347
students raised cups of Coca-
Cola to break the world record
for mass toasting.

Another Part of the Forest at Alliance

White columns and
magnolias set the stage for
Alliance Theatre's season
opener, Lillian Hellman's ex-
plosive Southern drama
Another Part of the Forest,
which runs through Oct. 9, on
the Alliance mainstage.

Though written seven years
after The Litte Foxes, it
recreates the same Hubbard
family two decades earlier,
depicting the roots of their
drive for power and health. In a
family torn by selfish ambi-
tion, each Hubbard finds
himself vulnerable to the next.

Mary Nell Santacroce plays
the family matriarch Lavinia,
and was seen at the Alliance
as Nurse Anderson in Whose
Life is it Anyway and as Ethel
Thayer in the hit comedy On
Golden Pond. Eddie Lee is
father Marcus Hubbard, and
was seen last season as
Theseus in A Midsummer
Night's Dream. Daughter
Regina is portrayed by
Michele Farr, who appeared
recently as Mozart's wife in
the acclaimed Broadway
drama Amadeus. Critics have
praised her roles in Alabama
Shakespeare Festival's cur-
rent season, and Michele was
formerly a dancer for the Jof-
frey Ballet. Son Benjamin is
played by Gary Reineke, who
has performed leading roles at
Canada's National Arts
Center, Vancouver Playhouse
and St. Lawrence Center, as
well as at the Seattle Reper-
tory Theatre. In 1978, Gary was
nominated Best Actor at the
Canadian Film Festival for his
role in CBC's "A Matter of
Choice." Playing son Oscar is

Larry Larson, who last ap-
peared here in Jim Peck's play
Honey, and was seen in ABC-
TV's "Breaking Away" and in
the film "Hopscotch" with
Walter Matthau.

Another Part of the Forest is
directed by Alliance Artistic
Director Fred Chappell. Sets
are by Mark Morton, costumes
by Thorn Coates and lighting
by William B. Duncan.

Another Part of the Forest
runs through Saturday, Oct.
9th. Performances are at 8
p.m. Tuesday through Satur-
day, and Sunday, Oct. 3.
Matinees are at 2:30 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 25 and Sun-
day, Sept. 26.

Tickets are $7.50 and $12

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

E.T.

"E.T., the Extra Terrestrial,"

the summer's runaway hit, is a
delight to viewers of all ages.
The film opens in fairy-tale
fashion on a quiet night sky as
a bubble-like spaceship, its
lights softly glowing,
descends to rest in a Califor-
nia forest. The ship's oc-
cupants stealthily move about
the forest transplanting
samples of the flora to the
ship. One curious space visitor
wanders too far from the ship
and is frightened by the glare
of headlights and honking car
horns. Before the errant extra
terrestrial can return to his
shipmates, the spacecraft is
forced to ascend and E.T. is
left alone and friendless in an
alien world.

As the curious space elf,
who resembles a turtle
without a shell, explores his
surroundings, he dines on gar-
bage can goodies, in-
vestigates a tool s : ed, and
finds a comrade in Elliott
(Henry Thomas), a shy, lonely
10-year-old in desperate need
of a friend.

Elliott enlists the aid of his
older brother Michael (Robert
MacNaughton) and younger
sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore)
in keeping E.T.'s existence
secret from their mother (Dee
Wallace) and other adults, and
in helping E.T. construct a
transmitter to signal his ship.

"E.T." is in a class by itself.
Director and producer Steven
Speilberg has once again pro-
ven his film-making genius by
combining writing, directing,
casting and special effects in
a perfect blend. Speilberg
fuses comic and dramatic ten-
sion in the story to produce a
heart-rendering conflict, but a
euphoric resolution.

Thomas, McNaughton, and
Barrymore are natural and win-
ning in their roles. Henry
Thomas gives Elliott an uncan-
ny depth and intuitive nature
that makes his friendship with
E.T. all the more special. Drew
Barrymore threatens to steal
the show with her expressions
and reactions to E.T. For her,
E.T. is a pet Space Invader and
a friend who is smaller than
herself.

With technical finesse,
most of the effects are done
with lights bright, glaring
lights indicating a threat, and
shadowy, ethereal settings
providing safety for E.T. and
the children.

The biggest special effect is
E.T. himself. He is a homely,
yet lovable B.E.M. (bug-eyed
monster, in sci-fi terminology)
with a large, lumpy, pulsating
head and a neck that extends
or retracts according to mood.
He has gray-green skin and
graceful, long arms with four-
digit hands. This captivating
creature, which cost Speilberg
$1.5 million dollars, is con-

structed from fiberglass,

molded around an aluminum
steel skeleton. However, he
comes across on screen as a
sensitive, inquisitive little
space visitor and soon cap-
tures the love of Elliott,
Michael, Gertie, and the au-
dience.

E.T. has complex emotions
and develops a ten-word

BLADE RUNNER, starring
Harrison Ford, is a futuristic
adventure set in a bleak Los
Angeles of 2019 A.D. Based
upon Philip Dick's novel, Do
Electric Sheep Dream of
Sleep?, the movie is directed
by Ridley Scott. The story
evolves around a struggle bet-
ween a group of second class
citizens called "replicants,"
who have been genetically
engineered for use in deep
space projects, and Rick
Deckard, played by Harrison
Ford, a special kind of
detective called a "blade run-
ner," whose job it is to locate
and exterminate the replicants
who find their way to Earth.

Six replicants have escaped
from space slavery to try to
fade into a normal life on
Earth. The sardonic Deckard is
called in for the job and while
doing background research he
visits the Tyrell Corporation
which is responsible for the
production of the humanoids.
There he meets Mr. Tyrell's ex-
otic assistant, Rachael (Sean
Young), whom he discovers
might be a replicant. The
catch is that her memory has
been programmed so that she
is unaware of the facts sur-
rounding her origin.

You may be wondering by
now exactly how Deckard
knows who is a replicant and
who is human in this bizarre
world. It seems that the human
capacity to empathize has not
been perfectly duplicated in
the replicants, so Deckard,
with the aid of a series of
questions and some gadgetry
measuring eye responses, can
determine the difference. It is
through this test that he
discovers Rachael's
background. However, the
results are questionable
because of the length of time
it takes him to administer the
test. The film is confusing as
to whether or not Rachael is a
near perfect replicant, or in-
stead, she is human and
Deckard's results are off.

Are you finding all of this
confusing? It gets worse. I had
a hard time following the

story, and I even read the book
before I saw the film.

Deckard, after wandering
around this violent and dismal
punk world, locates and exter-
minates his replicants.

During the course of his
search, Deckard begins to
question his superiority as a
human and his society's
assumption that replicants
have no feelings.

After Rachael saves his life
from a fellow replicant in a
street fight, he falls for her and
becomes involved in her strug-
gle to accept the possibility of
her existence as a replicant.

BLADE RUNNER is a disap-
pointment. Not only is the
storyline obtuse and interrup-
tive, the characters are, for the
most part, shallow and ar-
tificial in more ways than one.
The potential for intriguing
relationships exists but is
never developed.

This is especially dissatisfy-
ing considering the realm of
possibilities open surrounding
the moral and ethical ques-
tions about the origins of the
replicants and their interac-
tions with humans. For exam-
ple, there is only a sketchy ex-
ploration of the psychological
effects of the lack of parents
and the years spent in deep
space as outcasts, as well as
the ethical question of their
automatic termination trig-
gered after four years by a
disease built into their
chemical structure.

The relationship between
Rachael and Deckard as it is
portrayed lacks depth. Ford
and Young are believable as
lovers, yet the affair, due to the
choppy flow of the story and
the distraction of Deckard's
search for the replicants,
never gets off the ground.

Basically, you just stop car-
ing about any of the
characters after the first half
of the movie.

BLADE RUNNER has
another interesting problem.
While abounding with orien-
tals, the film has not a single
black person. If this for some
odd reason is prescribed by
the storyline, it is not explain-
ed. If it is an oversight, it is an
unfortunate one.

The film does have an ex-
cellent musical score compos-
ed by Vangelis. It helps create
the dismal mood and reflects
the dissonance between
Deckard and the replicants.

The special effects, by
Douglas Trumball who gave us
Close Encounters of the Third
Kind, include intricate building
models and matte paintings
as well as a various array of
moving lights which are in-
strumental in creating an in-
triguing if somewhat depress-
ing setting. However, the ef-
fects and the detailed set
decoration remains as about
the same plateau throughout
the film and the dazzle wears
off after about 20 minutes.

The film's only highlights
are the performances of both
Harrison Ford, as Deckard,
and Rutger Hauer, as

Deckard's arch-antagonist
replicant. Many of Ford's
scenes with the replicants re-
quire grueling physical acting
which he carries out with his
usual finesse. He develops
Deckard's personality as
much as he can in spite of the
rough story outline and shaky
dialogue. This is by no means
an outstanding performance
in comparison with some of
Ford's past roles, but flaws in
the film can under no cir-
cumstances be attributed to
his performance.

This movie can only be ap-
preciated by hard-core sci-fi
fans. If you want to see Har-
rison Ford at his finest, go see
Raiders of the Lost Ark . . .

Star Trek:
The Wrath
of Khan

Khan is back and he's mad-
der than ever! STAR TREK:
THE WRATH OF KHAN
(ST:TWOK) is everything and
more that STAR TREK; THE
MOTION PICTURE should
have been but wasn't. Most im-
portantly, it has a deliciously
evil villain in the form of Khan,
superbiy played by Ricardo
Montalban, who repeats the
role from the 1967 television
episode entitled "Space
Seed."

As ST:TWOK opens, the
U.S.S. Enterprise, the pride of
the 23rd century's Starfleet, is
on a training mission. Spock
(Leonard Nimoy) is in com-
mand with Admiral James T.
Kirk (William Shatner) aboard
as an observer. Sulu (George
Takei), Uhura (Nichelle
Nichols), Dr. McCoy (DeForest
KEIIy) and Engineer Scott
(James Doohan) are on board
to monitor the actions of a
bevy of Starfleet Cadets.

Among the additions to the
crew are Spock's new pro-
teges, Lt. Saavik (Kirstie Alley)
a young woman of Vulcan
and Romulan parentage who
is training for command, and
Scottie's nephew, Midship-
man First Class Peter Preston
(Ike Eiseman).

Meanwhile in deep space,
Federation Starship U.S.S.
Reliant is busy seeking out
deserted planets for the secret
Genesis Project, when they en-
counter a supposedly empty
world containing life forms.

Captain Clark Terrell (Paul
Winfield) and Commander
Paval Chekov (Walter Koenig)
check in with the Genesis Pro-
ject chief scientists Dr. Carol
Marcus (Bibi Beach) and son
David (Merritt Buttrick) to get
an okay to check out the
planet's surface and
transplant the life forms to a
healthier environment.

Reaching the planet, Ceti
Alpha V, Terrell and Chekov
accidentally run into a tribe of
embittered, blood-thirsty
humanoids and their exiled
genetic superman, Khan.

Tormenting his captives
with nasty ear-splitting
creatures (Special Effects
team - give yourselves a pat on
the back!), Khan learns of the
Genesis machine, a device
capable of either giving or
destroying life, hidden aboard
space laboratory Regula One.

Khan has but one goal, and
he will take over the Reliant,
steal the Genesis Project, and,
if need be, destroy half of the
universe in order to wreak
havoc upon his old arch-rival,
the man who sent him into ex-
ile 15 years ago . . . James T.
Kirk!

STAR TREK: THE WRATH
OF KHAN has something for
everyone. Each character is
fully developed as relation-

ships are explored. The ir-
restistable trio, Kirk, Spock,
and Bones, are together again,
and are better (if older) than
ever. Khan is the epitome of a
dastardly arch-enemy and his
struggle with the invincible
Captain Kirk "energizes" the
story line.

The special effects, while
relatively simple to produce in
light of the sophisticated ac-
complishments in this film
genre since the advent of
STAR WARS, are handled with
"savoir faire" by Industrial
Light and Magic. The battle
scenes, effected chiefly by the
locomotion of various models
of the ships, capture distance
and perspective as the two
star cruisers shoot it out, as
well as the feeling of mass and
movement.

In this film more of the in-
terior of the Enterprise is seen.
The inner workings of the
torpedo rooms, sick bay, and
engineering are open to view,
and a privileged peek into Mr.
Spock's monastic quarters is
provided. The detailing of the
bridge, including the addition
of real video units with dazzl-
ing computer graphics, is
totally engaging.

ST:TWOK is not a film about
spaceships. It is a film about
the people aboard them. The
elements that made the televi-
sion series so popular a
tight story line with a theme as
well as moral and ethical im-
plications; character develop-
ment; and a crisp, snappy
dialogue including the familiar
banter between Spock, Bones,
and Kirk are all clearly pre-
sent in ST:TWOK.

The movie has one minor
flaw its musical score. Writ-
ten by James Horner, the
score simply lacks the soaring
pizazz of STAR TREK: THE
MOTION PICTURE and the
mystic harmony of the Star
Trek television theme.

However, the efforts of the
director, the cast, and the
special effects team combine
to produce a moving, in-
telligent, and sophisticated
motion picture.

A Hants Ballet Announces Season

The 1982-83 home season of
the Atlanta Ballet will feature
live accompaniment by the
Atlanta Chamber Orchestra,
Atlanta Ballet President and
General Manager Kenneth T.
Hertz has announced.

"Last season through the

America, the orchestra accom-
panied three of our five Atlan-
ta performances," Hertz said.
"Audience response was so
overwhelming that the Ballet
Board of Directors decided to
secure the Atlanta Chamber
Orchestra for the entire up-
coming season."

Internationally-known prima
ballerina Maniya Barredo and
company members of the
Atlanta Ballet, the State Ballet
Company of Georgia, will per-
form a variety of ballets from
the company repertoire, under
the artistic direction of Robert
Barnett. The season will also
include several company pre-
mieres and a world premiere.

The Atlanta Ballet 1982-83
repertory season opens Oc-
tober 7, 8, 9 at the Atlanta
Civic Center with a company

missioned to design the lavish
sets for the ballet. A gala
charity kick-off for "Sleeping
Beauty" will be announced
soon.

The November 4, 5, 6 perfor-
mance will include four
ballets. "Duo Concertante" is

New York City Ballet, and
"Charleston," a sassy ballet
set in the roaring '20's.

December 2, 3, 4 and 9, 10,
11; the Atlanta Ballet will
stage the 21st annual produc-
tion of "Nutcracker" at the
Fox Theatre. Due to Robert
Barnett's long association
with Balanchine, the Atlanta
Ballet is the only company out-
side of New York that is allow-
ed use of the fabulous Balan-
chine choreography for the
ballet that is a great holiday
tradition.

The repertory season con-
tinues February 24, 25, 26 at
the Atlanta Civic Center with a
world premiere of "Palm
Court," choreographed for the
Atlanta Ballet by Peter
Anastos.

Mr. Anastos is a freelance
choreographer. Most recently,
he choreographed the ballet
scenes for Mikhail
Baryshnikov's CBS-TV
Special, Baryshnikov in

Hollywood. Mr. Anastos is cur-
rently working on other pro-
jects for American Ballet
Theatre. He studied ballet in
New York and founded Les
Ballets Trockadero de Monte
Carlo.

Civic Center Circus: "Barnum," a musical

"BARNUM," Broadway's big
smash musical hit, winner of
three Tony Awards and the
Outer Critics' Circle Award for
Best Musical, opens at the
Atlanta Civic Center on
Wednesday September 29,
1982 for seven performances
only. "Barnum," which stars
Harvey Evans, sketches 45
years in the life of the world's
greatest showman P. T. Bar-
num, who gave the country
Jenny Lind, the Swedish
Nightingale, Tom Thumb and a
museum on wheels that evolv-
ed into the Greatest Show on
Earth. The permanent setting
of the show is a circus with a
Ringmaster announcing the
high spots of Barnum's career.

While movie studios are still
counting all of their green
stuff from this incredibly suc-
cessful summer, now comes
the opportunity to really look
back at just how good these
films were. At the box-office,
there was no such thing as
Reaganomics or recessions.
Money kept piling in for the
chance to see sequels, special
effects, and little aliens who
wanted to phone home. Here
then are the best and the
worst of this summer's
celluloid.

Best Movie: Now wadda you
think? "E.T." made a happy
child of us all in one of the
best crowd-pleasers ever
made. Certain to stand as a
classic for years to come, this
sentimental knockout stole
our hearts and all of our
money.

2nd Best Movie: "The World
According to Garp" didn't
belong in summer because it
wasn't about computers or
aliens or video games. A movie
about the ups and downs of
human existence, "Garp" is a

Jan Pessano is featured. Joe
Layton directed and
choreographed.

The New York critics loved
"Barnum" and exclaimed it to
be "pure, exhilarating fun"
(New York Times), a "hum-
dinger" (New York Daily
News), "I loved 'Barnum' "
(New York Post), "one of the
best musicals of the season"
(UPI), " 'Barnum' has old-
fashioned razzmatazz" (AP),
"Buoys your spirits, lifts up
your heart and lives" (New
York Magazine), "captivating"
(Newsday), "a smash" (Liz
Smith), "greatest family enter-
tainment in the world" (Earl
Wilson), "Broadway at its
best" (Gannett-Westchester)

successful adaptation of John
Irving's fabulous best-seller.

3rd Best Movie: Everybody
keeps asking why they didn't
make the second "Star Trek"
movie the first time. This one
was a whole lot better. It was
well-written, well-acted, and
didn't take itself too seriously.

Best Actor: Robin Williams
surprised us with a subtle and
winning performance in
"Garp" and William Shatner
as good ole Captain Kirk in
"Star Trek" has never been
more confident, relaxed, and
fun to watch in the role.

Best Actress: Maybe Glenn
Close wasn't a real lead ac-
tress in "Garp" but as she ag-
ed from young mother to old
grandmother, her presence
was always felt. Close was ter-
rific as Nurse Jenny Fields,
mother of Garp and hater of
feelings of lust.

Best Supporting Actor: It
took two to make "E.T." work
and one was Henry Thomas as
the child who befriends this
creature. Thomas, with a
child's innocence and in-

and "colossal, joyous and diz-
zying entertainment" (WCBS-
TV).

"Barnum" is an original
musical with music by Cly
Coleman ("On the Twentieth
Century"), book by Mark Bram-
ble ("42nd Street), lyrics by
Michael Stewart ( ,, 42nd
Street," "Hello, Dolly!"), and is
directed and staged by Joe
Layton ("George M.," "Sound
of Music"). "Barnum" has sets
by "Barnum" Tony Award win-
ner David Mitchell ("Annie"),
costumes by "Barnum" Tony
Award winner Theoni V.
Aldredge and lighting by Craig
Miller ("On Golden Pond").

The National Touring Com-
pany of "Barnum" is on a two

genuity, created one of the
most beguiling kids ever
seen in films.

Honorable Mention: Ricardo
Montalban made us remember
just how fun an evil villian
could be in "Star Trek: The
Wrath of Khan."

Best Supporting Actress:
Mary Beth Hurt was wonderful
as Helen Holm, the woman
who steaks Garp's heart and
the audiences' too.

Best Supporting Alien:
When we told E.T. he had won
this pretigious award, he in-
sisted on phoning home right
away.

Most Disappointing Movie:
A lot of money went into "An-
nie" and a lot of things went
on screen. This was a loud, ex-
pensive extravanganza but it
also carried none of the heart
and warmth that made the
Broadway musical such a win-
ner.

Worst Musical: "Grease II."
Need we say more?

Most Forgettable Song
From a Musical: It has to be
from "Grease M" but who can

Funniest Movie: "Grease II,"
only when it was trying to be
upbeat and funny.

Best Special Effects:
"Tron".

Best Art Direction (scenery);
"Blade Runner'.

Special Effect Movies That
Forgot To Include the Rest:
"Blade Runner" had a great
scenery but no real characters
to put in front of it. "Tron" had
great-looking, computerized
world but effects grow boring
when the characters and the
story are missing. "The Thing"
achieved a sense of vulgarity
with a disgusting creature but
nothing else was special
about this thing.

Best Director: Steven
Spielberg

Best Original Screenplay:
"E.T."

Best Adapted Screen Play:
"The World According to

Best Exercise of the Sum-
mer: Waiting in line to see
"E.T." You never need to jog

Drop In Freshman Enrollment Blamed on Economy

by Kitsie Bassett

On September 7, the Class
of 1986 arrived at Agnes Scott
with 123 members. Although
this year's freshman class is
considerably smaller than last
year's (by 39), Director of Ad-
missions Judy Tindel says
there is no cause for alarm.
She blames the decline on the
current economic situation
which has caused many pro-
spective students, in an at-
tempt to avoid even higher
costs, to swing from private to
public institutions. Agnes
Scott is no exception to th is
trend as most other private
colleges are facing the same
problems.

In addition, the highly
publicized budget cuts in stu-
dent aid have scared many
students. "Agnes Scott is still
committed to attempting to
meet 100 percent of a sudent's
demonstrated needs," said
Ms. Tindel. The Admissions
and financial aid offices have
found it very frustrating to
relay that message to prospec-
tive students. "There is no way
our financial aid brochures
can compete with the major
networks who are emphasiz-
ing cutbacks and the lack of
money available to finance
an education." Several new
strategies for the coming year
are planned to increase

Hollins President to
Speak at Honors Day

The president of Hollins Col-
lege, Paula Pimlott Brownlee,
will address the annual
Honors Day Convocation
this Wednesday. Her talk, en-
titled "Women in Science,"
will begin at 11 a.m. in Presser
Hall.

Honors Day recognizes the
academic accomplishments
of students named to the
Honor Roll and those awarded
academic scholarships. This
year's convocation will honor
22 National Merit Scholars, 34
Honor Scholars, 61 Dana
Scholars, six Nannette
Hopkins Music Scholars,
seven Stukes Scholars, 66
Honor Roll students and the
recipients of the Emily Dexter
Scholarship in Psychology
and the Wilson Asbury Higgs
Scholarship in Mathematics.

Dr. Brownlee, an organic
chemist, was named president

of Hollins College in Virginia
in July of 1981. She had
previously served as dean of
faculty and professor of
chemistry at Union College,
Schenectady, N.Y., and on the
faculty of Douglass College,
Rutgers University, Brunswick,
N.J.

She is the author of journal
articles in chemical education
as well as organic chemistry.
Listed in "Who's Who in
America" and "American Men
and Women in Science," she
is a member of the American
Chemical Society, the
Chemical Society of London,
American Women in Science
and the American Association
of Higher Education. A
graduate of Somerville Col-
lege, Oxford University, she
holds the doctor of philosophy
degree in organic chemistry
from that British university.

knowledge of the various
financial aid opportunities at
Agnes Scott.

This year's freshman class
was selected from the largest
applicant pool, except for the
last year, since the early
1970's. Of those who applied,
69 percent were extended of-
fers of admission, about the
same as last year. The dif-
ference lies in that fewer
students accepted those of-
fers.

Surprisingly, 23 percent of
those who declined offers
were lost to other women's
colleges. This is due most like-
ly to the increased national
recognition in recent years of

the role of women's colleges
in educating capable young
women. Agnes Scott's biggest
competition is Vanderbilt with
five more declinees atten-
ding such institutions as
Georgia Tech, Davidson,
Queens, University of Georgia
and Randolph Macon
Woman's College.

The class of 1986 is strong
in both academic and extra-
curricular activities. Their
average combined SAT scores
were 1110, and of those
members of the freshman
class ranked by their high
schools, 37 percent were in
the top five percent and 59 per-
cent in the top 10 percent.
Seven are National Merit

Scholars; two are National
Achievement Scholars and 13
are Agnes Scott Honor
Scholars.

The Admissions Office is
continuing to implement some
new recruiting methods to
enhance their continuous
search for new students.
Agnes Scott's enrollment has
been very stable throughout
the years, but Ms. Tindel

points out that the facilities
are here to provide even more
young women with a quality
education. That emphasis on
quality remains, and neither
admissions nor the college
will sacrifice quality for quan-
tity, she explained.

Dr. Robert S. Hyde, director of the observatory, will supervise
observation through the 30-inch telescope during Friday
night's astronomy program.

Astronomy Series Opens Fri

Agnes Scott College Obser-
vatory and Planetarium will
open its fourth annual
astronomy series Friday, Oct.
1. The free program will begin
at 8 p.m., rain or shine, in
Bradley Observatory.

Dr. Robert S. Hyde, director

of the observatory, will present
the lecture, "First Steps in Ex-
ploring Your Astronomical En-
vironment." He will also super-
vise observation through the
30-inch telescope, and Julius
D. W. Staal will present a
planetarium show on the sum-
mer stars, particularly Aquila,

Lyra and Sygnus.

The Agnes Scott Astronomy
Series will continue on the
first Friday of each month
through May, 1983. The dates
for programs are Nov. 5, Dec.
3, Jan. 7, Feb. 4, March 4, April
1, and May 6.

Black Cat Dance to Restore
Formality Tradition

By Kitsie Bassett

If you are an alumnae
daughter, this year's Black Cat
Dance could possibly resem-
ble your Mother's Black Cat
Dance rather than the ones in
recent years. Social Council
president Penny Baynes
reports that the council is at-
tempting to restore the tradi-
tional formality that once
made Black Cat the most
special Agnes Scott social
event.

Two major changes are be-
ing implemented to ac-
complish this goal. In past
years, black tie has been op-
tional for dates. This year
black tie is being specifically
requested, but not required.

Another change will be in
the type of band at the dance.
Past Black Cats have featured
bands such as those frequent-
ly heard at fraternity parties.
This year, Lloyd Hinson and
the Highlanders, a swing

band, will provide the enter-
tainment. The group will first
play two sets of swing or-
chestral music followed by
two sets of top forty variety.

These two changes, combin-
ed with having the dance at
the Peachtree Plaza, should
make Black Cat one of the
most memorable nights of the
year. Social Council hopes
that everyone will attend to
add to the enthusiasm and
spirit of Black Cat.

Lloyd Hinson and Orchestra will provide the entertainment
at this year's Black Cat Formal on October 9 at the Peachtree
Plaza.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1982

The Board of Student Activities provided a very special ser-
vice not only to freshmen but to upperclassmen as well. The
first BSA Activities Fair was held on Monday, Sept. 13, only the
second day of class. The fair enabled freshmen and transfers
to learn about the many organizations on campus and permit-
ted the club chairman to recruit for their particular activities.
The members of this board began planning the fair last spring
and had only a few times to coordinate it this fall. The Board
deserves special recognition. Members include: Chairperson
Carol Goodman, Laura Head, Julia Roberts, Denise Mazza, and
Susan Dantzler.

A good turnout and lots of enthusiasm made this a special
event and, I hope, an annual one.

As you see, Agnes Scott is
certainly one large "field of op-
portunity." I strongly urge
each of you to evaluate your
personal interests and needs
and take advantage of all of
these opportunities. The
sooner you become involved,
the sooner you will start to
grow. The sooner you plant
your seed, the sooner you and
the entire ASC community can
appreciate the harvest. For
more information on planting
schedules, fertilizer and other
helpful ways to maximize your
available resources, feel free
to visit me in the SGA office
(Door 4 Rebekah lobby) dur-
ing Monday night office hours
or anytime and don't forget to
call EXTENSION 385! Happy
Harvesting!

Defining the Issue

Would you like to thank your big sister in a special way? Or
wish a friend a happy birthday? Or sell a book? Or find a typist?
Now, there is a way to realize these desires. Simply buy a
classy ad from the Profile. Ads will be sold during lunch and
dinner on weekdays. This is an inexpensive way to get things
accomplished. One inch ads (30 words) are 75 cents and one-
half inch ads (15 words) are 50 cents.

Note:

The following editorial is
reprinted from the Nov. 16,
1972 issue of Profile. The sub-
ject is extended library hours.
Interestingly enough, a
change in library hours was
just made in 1982.

It seems to me somewhat of
a paradox that a school like
Agnes Scott should have such
limited library hours.
Academics are highly valued
and greatly emphasized. On
five nights of the week the
library closes at 10:30 p.m., on
Friday at 8:30 p.m. and on
Saturday at 6:00 p.m.

Is it really too much to ask
that the library be kept open
until 11:30 or midnight every
night? Other schools com-
parable to Scott manage to do
it. (My sister, who attends a
small woman's college in
Virginia, literally hooted when
she found out when our library
closes her's closes at mid-
night.)

I appreciate the fact that in
a city such as Atlanta, the

librarians can not be driving
home alone late at night. Still,
it seems that a system could
be worked out so that
students with work scholar-
ships could be used to main-
tain the library and close it at
a later hour.

Some people find that they
can study in the library better
than anywhere else. Others
won't go near the place until
they have a special paper or
project and then they prac-
tically live in the library. The
number of students using the
library at 11:30 p.m. at night
may not be great, but I think
people would find it a great
luxury to have later closing
hours for the library. And,
given the emphases of this
school, this is one luxury to
which the students are really
entitled.

Priscilla Offen
General Editor

While I commended SGA on
its quick action last spring, I
must note the importance of
following through on issues

that concern us. Undoubtedly,
similar issues are raised each
year. Raising fewer proposals
and seeing them through the
legislative process is much
more important than raising
many proposals and tabling
the majority. Traditionally,
change is slow at Agnes Scott
and I do not propose that
Agnes Scott undergo any ma-
jor changes right away.
However, I would like to sug-
gest that the campus com-
munity have a positive attitude
toward change. In addition, I
hope President Schmidt will
be receptive to student pro-
posal changes despite the fact
that she may not yet be totally
familiar with all of the existing
customs and policies.

We all know that adapting
to changes is not easy. How
many students do you know
who were caught off guard
during the new parietal hours
implemented Sept. 17?

We waited 10 years for ex-
tended library hours. Let's not
postpone other needed
changes.

Kirk Concert Series Returns

For its second season the
Kirk Concert series brings in-
ternationally acclaimed musi-
cians to Agnes Scott College.
Named in honor of Mary
Wallace Kirk, an outstanding
Agnes Scott alumna, the
series this season is
dedicated to the late professor
Elizabeth Zenn. The per-
formers, Rudolf Firkusny,
piano; Henryk Szeryng, violin;
and Tashi, clarinet and string
ensemble; will perform the
works of Bach, Beethoven,
Prokifiev, Takemitsu, Weber,
and other great composers.

Rufolf Firkusny, piano, will
perform on October 26, 1983.
He is regarded as a master in-
terpreter of the Classical and

Romantic repertory and as the
world's foremost authority on
the music of Czechoslavakia,
his native land. His perfor-
mances of the works of Czech
composers Smetana, Dvorak,
Janacek, and Martinu have
been especially hailed for their
power and authenticity. Critics
have acclaimed Firkusny as "a
brilliant master of the
keyboard" and as "a noble and
superlative artist, sensitive
and profound as are few
others."

Henryk Szeryng, violin, will
perform on February 22, 1983.
One of the world's greatest
violin virtuosos, he celebrates
his Golden Jubilee of 50 years
on the stage in 1983. His per-

formance at Agnes Scott will
be the first one in the United
States during his Golden
Jubilee year. One of the most

recorded violinists, he has
been awarded the Grand Prix
du Disque, the Grammy
Award, the Edison, the Wiener

Flotenuhr, and the Golden
Record. Heryk Szeryng has
been described by critics as
"the best performing violinist
of our day."

Tashi, clarinet and string
ensemble, will perform on
April 12, 1983. The ensemble
for the Kirk concert will be
Richard Stoltzman, clarinet;
Ida Kavafian, violin; Fred
Sherry, cello; and guest artists
Theodore Arm, violin, and
Toby Appel, viola. All five ar-
tists have distinguished
themselves as soloists and
ensemble players. As an
ensemble Tashi has earned
wide-spread acclaim and
popularity, as is proven by
their best-selling RCA recor-

dings of Messiaen, Schubert,
Stravinsky, and Beethoven,
and their concert appearances
around the world.

Each performance of the
series will begin at 8:15 pm in
Gaines auditorium, Presser
Hall, followed by a reception
for the artists in the Dalton
Galleries, Dana Fine Arts
Building. The student
subscription price for the
series is $15, a 44 percent
savings over the $9 ticket price
at the door for all perfor-
mances. The subscription
price for the general public is
$20, a 25 percent savings.
Tickets can be purchased
through the music depart-
ment.

National Daily Makes Debut

Campus News Digest

September 15 marked the
beginning of an expensive ex-
periment as USA Today hits
the stands.

USA Today, the new na-
tional daily newspaper, is be-
ing published by the Gannett
chain. The first issues were
published in the Washington,
D.C. area, with distribution
spreading to other areas week
by week. Gannett will use
satellite printing plants to
print the various editions
around the country.

Most of the writers for the
new newspaper have come
from other Gannett papers
across the country. These
employees will have little to
lose if the paper fails, as they
will be able to return to their
previous jobs in most cases.

The paper's main emphasis

especially on a national level.
The paper will not be appeal-
ing to a specific audience,
such as the Wall Street Jour-
nal appeals to businessmen,
but will be trying for a much
more general audience.

Gannett employees are ex-
tremely optimistic about their
new paper. They believe that if
only a small percentage of the
people who now buy daily
newspapers switch to buying
USA Today, the paper will have
no problems making ends
meet.

The prototypes that Gannett
has been doing and re-doing
show a neatly organized
paper, with clearly defined
sections. However, it is those
sections that have gotten USA
Today in a bit of trouble before

of the dining hall.

will be on general interest
stories, with lots of business,
sports and lifestyle stories.
There will be an extensive
weather section, plus a
special feature which will pre-
sent news from each of the 50
states every issue. USA Today
will strive to be the reader's
home - away - from - home, fill-
ing him in on places he's lived,
or places he will be travelling
to.

The numerous failures of
big-city daily papers over the
past few years has led many in
the publishing industry to con-
sider the Gannett venture
doomed from the start. With
large dailies such as the
Washington Star and Chicago
Daily News biting the dust, it
seems like a bad time to try
such an expensive new daily,

ground. TIME, Inc. has filed
suit to try and prevent USA To-
day from using the section
names "Life" and "Money."
TIME claims that people will
confuse the names with
TIME'S magazines of the same
names, and lead people to
believe that TIME is affiliated
with USA Today.

Depite all the critics that
say the newspaper does not
have a chance to make it on
the national level, a paper of
this scope has not been tried
before, so it's all a gamble. But
the skeptics won't have to wait
much longer to see how well
USA Today will work, as the
presses are geared up for the
first runs.

(Note: USA Today will be
available on the ASC campus
in front of the Dining Hall.)

Administrators Hear Carter

by Laurie McBrayer

President Ruth Schmidt,
Dean Julia Gary, and P.R.
Director Sara Fountain attend-
ed former President Carter's
human rights address Sept.
15.

The Atlanta Journal
reported that Carter "attacked
the Reagan administation's
policy on human rights as
'confused' and 'downright em-
barrassing' and said the
United States must assume a
stronger role in promoting
freedom for the oppressed
peoples of the world or global
peace and stability will
suffer."

Pres. Schmidt said "It was a
very fine address. I share his
deep concern for human
rights."

Dr. Schmidt had the oppor-
tunity to meet Carter and his
wife. Mrs. Carter was in-
terested in knowing whether
Agnes Scott ran a prep school
that Amy could attend.

Carter is a visiting professor
teaching a freshman national

politics course at Emory this
term. Carter is currently busy
gaining support for the Carter
Memorial Library. The Beers
Construction Company,
presided by ASC Chairman of
the Board Larry L Gellerstedt,
will build the library.

PROF. EMERITUS DIES

Services were held in Athens, Georgia for Mildred Rutherford
Mell recently. Formerly of Decatur and Spartanburg, S.C., Dr.
Mell taught at Anges Scott College and was Economics and
Sociology Department Chairman until 1960, when she retired.

Dr. Mell was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of
Wisconsin in Madison. She earned a MA degree from U.Ga. and
a doctorate in economics from U. NC - Chapel Hill.

In addition to her appointments at Agnes Scott, she taught
previously at Oglethorpe University and was academic dean at
Shorter College in Rome, Ga.

Interns reflect on Washington, D.C. jobs

by Rachel McConnell

An internship in
Washington is not just for
Political Science majors. This
three month program is
valuable for a variety of ma-
jors. For example, this sum-
mer, three students from
Agnes Scott went to
Washington, D.C. KarlaSefeik,
a history major, Beverly Bell,
an English major, and Kitsie
Bassett, a political science
major. They learned about con-
gressional issues from the in-
side.

Karla worked in the offices
of J. K. Robinson, Virginia's
seventh district congressman.

as Medicare, the Israel
Lebanon crisis, and the
Nuclear Freeze movement.
The Intern can sit in on house
and congressional meetings
and hear prominent speakers.

people in our national and
local politics.

Susan Whitten Interns
in Lynchburg, Va.

by Helen Stacey

While many students view
summer vacation as a much-
needed break from the hectic
schedule of the school year,
senior Susan Whitten ap-
parently has quite a different
notion. During this past sum-
mer, Susan worked a full-time
job in a gift shop in addition to
her internship at the Public In-
formation Office for the city of
Lynchburg, Virginia.

Susan Whitten '82

Susan arranged the intern-
ship with the assistance of an
acquaintance who worked in
the personnel department for
the city of Lynchburg. Original-
ly, she thought that she
wanted to intern in Personnel,
but she found that she was
really more interested in the
field of Public Relations. She
said, "Before I did the intern-
ship, I thought I wanted to go
into Public Relations but was
unsure. Now I know that's
what I want to do because
there is simply so much varie-
ty."

Working under the director
of Public Information for Lyn-
chburg proved to be a very

educational experience for
Susan. "My supervisor had
been a teacher before and was
very conscientious about giv-
ing me work that I could learn
from," she said. From her own
little office in Lynchburg's new
city hall, Susan performed a
myriad of different duties.

Besides arranging news
conferences, writing news
releases and assisting with
newsletter editing, Susan was
actively involved in planning
publicity for a citywide
festival. One of the jobs Susan
enjoyed most entailed writing
feature stories for the
employee newsletter. Her sub-
ject matter ranged from cable
TV to an interview with the
sheriff concerning the city jail.
Also, Susan co-produced four
shows for cable television.
These "City Life" shows
depicted various city depart-
ments and their activities.
Susan's job included scripting
the show, lining up the
"talents" involved, and
sometimes going along on the
actual shooting.

Obviously, Susan is justified
in claiming: "I feel like it was
very worthwhile there was
no busy work. I was doing the
same things as my supervisor
did." In addition to ascertain-
ing that she was interested in
the field of Public Relations,
Susan discovered that
although "I really enjoyed
working for the city of
Lynchburg. I don't think I want
to work for the government.
I'm more interested in being
employed by industry."

citizen. Beverly heard a variety
of speakers. She and many
other interns were at the air-

dressing such issues as the re-
cent tax package increase, the
budget, and federal regulation.
The Finance Committee of the
Senate and the House Ways
and Means Committee joined

in conference because of the
proposed tax package in-
crease. Kitsie was able to at-
tend conference hearings and
learned a great deal about an
issue pertinent to taxpayers
as a whole.

Americans in Paris:

THE MAGIC REMAINS

Priscilla Eppinger, Pam DeRuiter, and Henri O'Brien spent last year studyinq and siphtseeina
in France. " * *

By Peggy Schweers

A year ago, Priscilla Epp-
inger, Pam DeRuiter, and
Henrietta O'Brien combined
some college level French,
some gumption, (and just a
few dollars) and went to Paris,
France. Now they can speak,
write, eat, dance, dress and
dream French.

Living with different host
families, all three experienced
quite a different year. Each
feels that she had an excep-
tional year. (When interviewing
them, in trying to encompass
the funny stories, memories of
fustration and discovery, too
much is left out).

Pam says that she misses
the freedom in Europe. "You
can be who you want to be.
The people are so accepting.
They are nonconformists."

In her host home, Pam met a
wide variety of people,
especially around dinner.
"Dinner was a huge thing,
always with about 10 people."
Her neighborhood was often
the site of "manifestations"
(demonstrations) most of the
year.

When the Parisians stopped
asking where Pam was from,
she felt she accomplished a

major feat. Accent is integral
general acceptance in French,
according to Pam.

About the city life, Pam
"says, "There's constant
stimulation. It's magical."

Henri knows very definitely
what she learned most from
her stay in Paris; ironically
about the United States. Henri
realized, "We don't really need
all we have, like clothes;
everyone is into clothes, not
wearning them twice in a
week. They will wear the same
outfit all week and no one
cares. We are too wrapped up
in it."

Determined to walk at home
in Albany like she had in Paris,
Henri says, "I was the only one
in the town walking. They pro-
bably thought I had car trou-
ble."

Henri was impressed by the
level of interest in important
issues. She remembers that
almost everyone was conver-
sant in important issues. "We
take things for granted."

In the home of fashion,
Henri says she was "in

heaven". Studying art history,
she spent a great deal of time
at the Louvre.

Priscilla lived in another
section of Paris, in an apart-
ment and had an American
roommate.

French fashion impressed
Priscilla. "French women,"
she explains, "always look
sharp. It's all how you put it
together." Bright colors are
now a part of her wardrobe.

Almost everything was ex-
pensive ($20 cover charge into
a bar, $5-$6 drinks) Priscilla,
like the others spend most
entertainment on theatre. She
and Henri saw an avante
garde Moliere play. Also, there
was "lots of cafe-sitting."

Did she work much on
school? Priscilla eyes widen
and she laughs saying "Mega-
hows!" Detailed research sent
Pricilla all over the city, to
learn about the close-stacked
system. Her final exams,
however, were completely
oral. "I feel like I took advan-
tage of a lot but if I went back I
would like to do more."

That Crazy Woman Is Still Here

Council,
Avenue,
20418.

2101 Constitution
Washington, D.C.

by Jane Zanca

I thought we were finally
done with that crazy woman,
but at the RTC Orientation lun-
cheon last week, she reap-
peared. When RTC Ann
Weltner stood to introduce
herself, the presence of that
crazy woman was as potent as
the smell of ginger.

"I want to tell you how I
came to be at Agnes Scott,"
Ann began. It seems that Ann
was shopping in the Oxford
Bookstore last spring. "This
crazy woman," she said, "was
running around the store, tell-
ing everyone that she was
graduating from Agnes Scott
College." Interrupting the
woman, Ann explained that
sire had been wanting to finish
college for a long time, and
had been thinking of going to
a state college.

"Oh, no, my dear!" the
woman answered, and taking
Ann firmly by the arm, led her
to a place where she
harangued, lectured, and rav-
ed about the education she
was getting at Agnes Scott.

When Ann was finally able
to get away, she thought that
she had heard the end of it.
But no, the woman began to
call her daily. Rather than be-
ing offended, Ann was
fascinated by the enthusiasm
of the woman, and finally
came to Scott to see what all
the commotion was about.
Ann decided to enter Agnes
Scott this fall under the RTC
Program. She told the woman
about her decision, and the
woman demanded to know
what courses Ann would be
taking. When Ann en-
numerated them, the woman
said, "Oh, no, my dear!" Now
let me tell you what you
should be taking!" Ann's fami-

ly was equally bewildered by
this pushy but somehow
refreshingly well com-
mitted woman. "Who in the
world is Peggy Bynum?" Ann's
husband demanded one day.

Who indeed? One could say
that Peggy is an Agnes Scott
"Class of '82" graduate; she
majored in Bible and Religion;
she is a wife and a mother; and
she worked in the North Side
Hospital in the very special
capacity of Patient Represen-
tative; but these are the titles
and catagories which cannot
torch the powerful experience
of knowing Peggy Bynum. It is
difficult to categorize some-
one like Peggy; someone so
brimming with life that she
must be up and out by 7:30 am;
someone so full of joy that it
spills out into empty halls in
song; someone so bursting
with enthusiasm that she can
spare the time to befriend,
help and steer a total stranger.

This summer, Peggy suf-
fered an unfortunate accident
while dining in a restaurant
and nearly choked to death;
however, she managed to sur-
vive it. I should know. At least
four people called to tell me
about it.

The first morning that the
Hub was open this quarter, I
greeted a maid who was busy
vacuuming the floor. "Has
anyone heard how Peggy
Bynum is doing?" she asked.

I sure do miss her. You know
she used to sing, every morn-
ing? She was always here real
early, and you could hear her
singing all over the place."

Singing, pushing, powerful
enough to survive choking
what is she, anyway? Wonder
Woman? Perhaps. It is difficult
to categorize someone like

Peggy, someone so brimming
with life that she wants to be
up and out by 7:30 a.m.; so-
meone so full of joy, that it
overflows into empty halls in
song; someone so bursting
with enthusiasm that she can
spare the time to befriend,
help, and steer a total
stranger.

After capping ceremonies
last spring, Peggy and other
graduating senior RTC's
hosted a party for the rising
RTC seniors at the Alumnae
House. Later, as the guests
slowly rolled and waddled
toward the door, Peggy grab-
bed me by the arm. "Janeygirl,
why don't you say here for the
night?

"Not to worry, my dear!"
she sang. "I have this thing
with me, it's a kind of
nightgown, and don't worry,
it's positively HUGE . . ."

Needless to say, after that
subtle reference to my, ah,

stature, I did not dare mention
that I also had no toothbrush .

Just before settling in for
the night, Peggy rapped on my
door softly. "Just thought
you'd be interested,
Janeygirl," she said, "you're
sleeping in the same room
Margaret Atwood slept in
when she was here. Sleep
tight and don't let the bedbugs
bite, sweetie!"

Sleep? After telling an
English/Creative Writing major
that she was in MARGARET
ATWOOD'S bed? I spent
several hours listening for
story ideas in the darkness,
just in case Ms. Atwood had
left any floating around.

Wouldn't it be something, I
fantasized, if someday so-
meone would point out that
room because I had slept in it.

Peggy insisted upon paying
for the room rental for me.
That night in the Alumnae
House was a true gift, a gift I
probably would never have
allowed myself if she had not
forced it upon me. But then,
maybe I'm as crazy as she is,
being impressed by the notion
of sleeping in the Alumnae
House.

Presently, Peggy is a little
more discombobulated than
usual. Seven years is a long
time at this college. Peggy
grieves that her time here ran
out and she has had to move
on. "I won't come back to visit
right now," she says. "I might
as well face it, you can't go
home again."

Last spring, I thought
Peggy's fears about leaving
this nest of academic torture
were just a bit out of hand.
Now, in the fall of my senior

A SADD Chapter, Students
Against Drunk Drivers, was
formed recently at Ohio State
U. A spin-off the national
MADD organization, the stu-
dent group will organize a
speakers' bureau for high
school and college functions
bureau for high school and
college functions and may
develop a service to get par-
tiers home without letting
them behind the wheel.

A Ku Klux Klan leader
claimed to be founding a
chapter on the UGA campus,
but it has yet to materialize. Ed
Fields announced his plans
during a campus radio station
interview, drawing one
positive phone call and a flood
of negative calls. UGA Stu-
dent Activities officials say
they would have to register the
KKK if it garners three full-
time students as members.
They say the Klan hasn't done
any overt campus organizing,
however, and hasn't made any
attempt to be registered as a
student group.

year, I am looking around me
and thinking, "This is the last
time the last Orientation
picnic, the last Orientation
luncheon, the last fall schedul-
ing .. . "

Peggy, you may be right, you
can't go home again. But your
name, your kindness, your
brimming love, your buoyancy,
your powerful presence, all are
etched into the bricks of this
campus, and sometimes,
when I'm out in the quad in the
early morning, I swear I can
hear you singing, and the
echoes of your special brand
of being just go on, and on,
and on . . .

On Howard Avenue, across
the railroad tracks, is a bud-
ding cultural spot in Decatur.
Opened last June by Dick and
Joan Guard, the Playhouse
and Shops have slowly
become more settled. The
authentic stables are con-
verted into a comfortable,
memoribilia-filled atmosphere.

Ed Danus, the director,

season with "That Gibson
Girl" a light-hearted period
play. Currently playing is
"Becky, be true" a Freudian
comedy, directed by Harold
Hall. This play is performed
until Oct. 23 every Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.

The Livery Stable attracts
actors from the entire Atlanta
area. A special feature
presently is a one woman

show featuring Carolyn
Becknell Mann. In her show,
Mann shares her perceptions
and anecdotes of dailv life.
She performs Sunday at 3 pm
and Tuesday at 8 pm.

Dick Guard said he hopes
an upcoming feature will par-
ticularly interest English ma-
jors; Robert Todd will perform
pieces of literature. A one-man
show, Todd has an extraor-
dinary talent for giving life to
such pieces as Faulkner, Poe
and de Maupassant. Todd's
first show was yesterday.
Other performances will be
every Sunday and Wednesday
at 8 pm both evenings through
October.

The World
According
to Garp

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO
GARP is in a world ail its own.
Based upon John Irving's
novel of the same title, it is the
story of T. S. Garp, one of the
most interesting fictional
characters of recent years.

Garp, played by Robin
Williams, is the son of Jenny
Fields (Glenn Close). Jenny is
a WWII nurse who, wanting a
child but not a husband, im-
pregnates herself by a
hospitalized soldier who dies
the next day. Thus Jenny
became both a mother and a
father to Garp and their adven-
tures began.

When Garp decided on a
career as a writer, Jenny quits
her job in the infirmary at a
prep school, and they move to
New York. While Garp strug-
gles to break into the field,
Jenny complies and publishes
her memoirs under the title of
"A Sexual Suspect." She is an
instant celebrity to the
woman's lib crowd, and Garp
suffers understandable tw-
inges of jealousy because his
own career is getting off to a
slow start.

Garp marries his high
school sweetheart, He/en
Holms (Mary Beth Hurt), who
becomes a college English
professor. They settle into a
comfortable life Helen
teaching and Garp writing and
taking care of their two
children, Duncan and Walt
until a car accident involving
Helen and her lover changes
all of their lives.

All of the characters
Garp, Jenny, Helen, and Jen-
ny's transsexual friend, Rober-
ta Muldoon are well realiz-
ed. Williams, in the best role of
his career, plays Garp as a
teenager and an adult with
such mastery that gives the
already complex character
even more breadth and depth.
Close, as Jenny, ages
beautifully in a flawless per-
formance. Mary Beth Hurt is
refreshing as Helen, and John
Lithgow plays Roberta, the
transsexual, with amazing
dignity and sensitivity.

The adaption of the novel to
the screen is artfully effected.
The script by Steve Tesich is
catchy and whimsical, yet it
stays close to Irving's
storyline and chronology while
capturing his piercing sense

Reviewed

of humor. Director George Roy
Hill has combined casting,
dialogue, and directing, to pro-
duce an intelligent and sen-
sitive adaption of Irving's
600-page novel.

Several themes run through
the film and some interesting
social statements are made.

First of all, the development
of the individual to his or her
fullest potential is very impor-
tant to both Jenny and Garp.
This takes many forms, in-
cluding Jenny's following of
women's libbers. Through this
theme, women's position in
society is brought into focus.

Secondly, the idea of life as
an adventure pervades the
movie. At times, there is a
poignant fatalism expressed
with this motif, but as Jenny
tells Garp, "All of us will die.
But having a life before you die
can be an adventure."

Garp and his world are an
adventure and one well
worth viewing.

Rated: R

Poltergeist

In POLTERGEIST, director
Steven Speilberg illuminates a
classic film genre with a new
light. POLTERGEIST is a tradi-
tional story of a haunted
house. However, Speilberg
twists all norms as he
develops the haunting.

The setting is a middle class
California suburban
neighborhood. The family,
consisting of a mother, a
father, a teen-age daughter, a
nine-year-old son, and a pre-
school daughter, is an average
middle class family until
the ghosts begin to let their
presences be known. They at
first manifest themselves in
noisy but amusing ways, such
as moving furniture and a fuz-
zy hum in the late night TV
screen. But, they soon become
violent and it is clear that they
are angry about something.

The haunting at first seems
to evolve around the pre-
schooler, Carol Anne (Heather
O'Rourke), and Robbie (Oliver
Robbins), the nine-year-old.
Carol Anne is unaware and
unafraid of the spirits' power,
and it is she who releases the
poltergeists (noisy ghosts)
from bondage between this
world and the next. She
speaks to them on the TV
screen and then is enticed and
engulfed by them into the tur-
bulent heart of the house.

The central portion of the
film documents the tug of
wills between Carol Anne's
parents and the spirits. It is
here that Speilberg introduces
a revolutionary element into
the filming of a ghost story.
The major component used to
create horror is light, not
darkness, as in the horror
tales of yore. The terror is ex-
perienced by the characters
and the audience in the forms
of lightning, ghostly lights and
terrifying f lourescent
monsters.

Specialists, such as a
parapsychologist played by

Beatrice Straight, a psychic,
deftly played by Zelda Rubins-
tein, exert powers to
"cleanse" the house and fight
to release the child. From here
a full-fledged battle ensues.

The acting is admirable, but
the special effects are what
give the movie its energy.

Jobeth Williams is highly
notable in her performance of
the family's young mother. In a
scene where she makes
spiritual contact with her lost
daughter, her electrifying
shiver heightens the already
intense moment.

Under director Speilberg,
the story operates on two
levels. It can be seen as a war-
ning against trying to build a
bustling modern life over the
restless graves of the past.
However, Speilberg also
seems to be making a state-
ment about the violence on
television and its formidable
influence on children. To il-
lustrate it is from the TV
that the demons escape.

There is some confusion
within the film as to the usage
of the terms "poltergeist" and
"haunting." By definition, and
explanation in the film, a
poltergeist is associated with
a person, and a haunting with
a place. However, the super-
natural events ultimately
evolve around the graveyard,
not Carol Anne.

POLTERGEIST is an extraor-
dinary demonstration of the
screen's power to scare the
viewer with honest thrills and
standard shock effects as op-
posed to the exploitative and
sensationalized gauge of
many recent so-called
"horror" films.

Rated: PG

Tron

TRON, a computer game
fantasy by Walt Disney, com-
bines computer graphics, uni-
que costuming, and special ef-
fects to produce a film that
may revolutionize the special
effects industry.

TRON features Jeff Bridges
as Kevin Flynn, a computer
software whiz, who runs a
three-story arcade since a
rival, Ed Dillenger, has stolen
five of his programs for video
games, taken over their com-
pany, Encom, and ousted
Flynn. Dillenger has installed
a Master Control Program
(MCP) to run the company,
which manufactures
everything from video games
to the defense systems for the
Pentagon.

Two of Flynn's friends from
Encom, distressed over the
turn of events resulting in

by Marcia G. Whetsel

tightened security, consult
Flynn to determine a way to
break the MCP's control over
their research. Thus Alan
(Bruce Boxleitner), who has
devised Tron, a security pro-
gram which would monitor all
of Encom's systems in-
cluding MCP, and Laura (Cindy
Morgan), who is one of the in-
ventors of a new matter
transformer system, agrees to
help Flynn get access to the
evidence in the MCP he needs
to prove that Dillenger stole
his game programs.

In the meantime, the newly
implanted MCP, feeling that it
is smarter than Dillenger,
declares its intentions to gain
control of the Pentagon
defense system. When it
realizes that Flynn is trying to
gain access to confidential in-
formation, the MCP assumes
control of the laser transport
system, which dismantles and
transports molecules, and
zaps Flynn into the world of
computer circuitry to get rid of
him. However, the MCP
underestimates Flynn's com-
puter genius and the battle
between man and computer is
on.

Inside the computer, Flynn
enlists the aid of Tron, Alan's
computer program (also
played by Bruce Boxleitner)
and Uri, the laser transport
program (also played by Cindy
Morgan) in destroying the
MCP to restore freedom to the
world inside the computer.

TRON is a new version of
the story of the computer -
grown - too - powerful versus
wiser, intuitive humans. In the
end, it is, as the MCP is fond of
saying, "the end of (the) line"
for the evil computer.

A crisp dialogue, a vibrant
performance by Jeff Bridges,
and a musical score by Wendy
Carlos that conveys the film's
tension and frenzied excite-
ment give TRON its
substance. The icing on the
cake is the special effects,
produced chiefly by computer
generated imagery.

Director and special effects
producer Steven Lisberger has
used computer graphics to
design a sci-fi fantasy the
likes of which have never been
experienced before. The
grapics, brilliant in color, are
successful not only in effec-
ting the illusion of motion in
the chase scenes, but also in
the creation of an entire elec-
trifying world, complete with
deadly races and gladiator-like
duels, inside the computer.

The film assumes the in-
telligence of the viewer and a
brief acquaintance with com-
puter terminology, but the ef-
fects are astounding.
Rated: G

An Officer

and a
Gentleman

AN OFFICER AND A
GENTLEMAN, featuring
Richard Gere and Debra
Winger, is an old-fashioned
love story, but it has the depth
and vitality that make it one of
the more refreshing films of
the summer.

Gere plays Zack Mayo, the
son of an alcoholic, womaniz-
ing sailor. He's a rugged loner,
but he wants to better himself
by entering the Naval Aviation
Officer Candidate School on
Puget Sound. Paula, played by
Winger, who works in a factory
near the base, is one of many
local girls the officers call
"Puget Debs" townies who
envision marrying an officer
and escaping their lower-
middle-class world. Paula and
her best friend Lynette (Lisa
Blount) meet Zack and pal Sid
(David Keith) at a dance, and
the two couples begin their
contrasting affairs on the
shores of Puget Sound.

An underlying storyline
follows Zack's basic training
under the intimidating instruc-
tion of his fiery drill Sergeant
Foley (Louis Gossett, Jr.). Zack
must overcome his me-first at-
titude and prove to Foley that
he is officer material. The
cinematography forcefully
stages Gere's physical
ordeals and Gossett is proper-
ly commanding as Gere's
nemesis.

The relationship between
Sid and Lynette serves as a
foil for Zack and Paula's own
sizzling romance. It also gives
the film an added dimension
that serves as a catalyst for
Zack's soul-searching at a
critical point in his life.

Much of the film's appeal is
due to the chemistry between
Gere and Winger. When they
are together, the screen
radiates with a smoldering, yet
tender, sexuality. Gere and
Winger both give striking per-
formances and their
characters are well-drawn. The
two haven't many options
they have fixed, one-shot
goals and if they fail, the alter-
natives are dismal. As in all
good love stories, Gere and
Winger convince you of a
sense of urgency that they
must beat the odds.

I have only two complaints.
First, the film borders on being
anti-women. This is due to the
military setting and the view of
women as man-traps.

Secondly, I found the
climactic fight between Zack
and his drill sergeant little
more than a trumped-up
catharsis. It probaly was
necessary as an equalizer, but
the circumstances leading to
the fight were unrelated to the
conflict between the two men.

All in all, though, AN OF-
FICER AND A GENTLEMAN is
a moving and thought-
provoking film and shows off
Gere and Winger at their best.

Dancing the New Season In

by Angela Scott

Another year of entertaining
and exciting dance perfor-
mances is forecasted for this
season. To highlight this fall,
Agnes Scott will have the op-
portunity to host several of the
leading dancers and com-
panies as well as be entertain-
ed by our own Studio Dance
theatre, according to Mrs.
Darling.

Kicking off this season of
visiting dancers and com-
panies was the North Carolina
Dance Theatre, a professional
group which performed a
ballet and jazz program in
Gaines auditorium on Sept. 21.
The North Carolina Theatre
also held a jazz master class
on Tues. afternoon for the en-
tire Agnes Scott community.

Other visiting dancers will
be May O'Donald and Sara
Yarborough, top dancers in
their field. May O'Donald was
formerly a Martha Graham
dancer. She will be on campus
teaching a master class Oct.
19. Sara Yarborough, one of
the leading dancers of the
Alvin Ailey American Dance
Theatre will perform and in-
struct a master class on Oct.
26. Recently, Sara Yarborough
has turned to choreographing
and instruction rather than
performance. Her instruction
includes Modern Dance Per-
forming Techniques and
Classical Ballet. She has held
workshops in many profes-
sional companies including
the Metropolitan Opera Ballet,
the Robert Joffrey Ballet, and
Steps Studio in New York City.

Fall Tennis
Team Preview

By Laura Feese

Agnes Scott's fall tennis
season got off to a "swinging"
start on Mon., Sept. 13, with
the beginning of regular prac-
tices. Coach Jo Ann Messick
said she is quite pleased with
the skill and enthusiasm of all
the ASC tennis buffs v ho
came out for the team.
Although Messick is op-
timistic about the upcoming
season, she admfta that this
fall's team is facing a major
obstacle, a lack of experience.
Of the team's 10 members, on-
ly four are returning from last
spring's strong team, and only
one of these, junior Sue Feese,
has seen much intercollegiate
competition.

Sue, who has played suc-
cessfully at the #1 position for
the past two years, is the only
returning player from last
year's top six netters. Coach
Messick has nothing but
praise for Sue. She cites Sue's
contribution to the team not
only in terms of her outstan-
ding skills in all aspects of the
game, but also in terms of
both her positive attitude, on
and off the court, and her
natural leadership abilities.
Messick sees Sue as an ex-
cellent "role model" for the
younger players.

In addition to Sue, there are
two other returning juniors,
Tammy Jenkins and Tracy
Baker, and one returning
sophomore, Petra Dotson.
Coach Messick also com-
mends Petra on her strong and
consistent play as the #7 seed,
the position she held for
almost all of last year's
season.

The new players on this
fall's team are sophomores
Robin Hoffland and Sarah
Bell, and freshmen Amy
Puckett, Jeanne Bartlett, Scott
Posey, and Fran Brennan.
Messick says that all of the
new players demonstrate
good form and solid strokes,
but need to work on their con-

sistency and "game
toughness." She is trying to
prepare the new players, all of
whom have had experience in
high school tennis competi-
tion, for the increased
demands of intercollegiate
competition.

Up until this year, ASC was
a member of the AIAW, a
women's intercollegiate
athletics association. The
AIAW has been recently forced
out of business, however, due
to a legal dispute concerning
the exclusion of male athletic
groups from this association.
Therefore, ASC has joined the
NAIA, a coed intercollegiate
athletics association for
smaller colleges. Messick
says that this change will
mean that the tennis team will
be facing many different op-
ponents for the first time this
year. It also means that the
team will no longer compete in
a state tournament spring
quarter, since the NAIA spon-
sors a district tournament in-
stead. This fall's schedule in-
cludes four regular matches,
against Emory, Ga. Tech,
Brenau, and Kennesaw, four of
the toughest team's in the
area, and one tournament at
Ga. Tech, with participants
from colleges all around the
state.

Meanwhile, the Agnes Scott
Studio Dance Theatre is busy

Field Hockey Team Gears Up

by Becky Fornwalt

Field hockey practice began
Mon., Sept. 13, under the
guidance of Miss Kate
McKemie. Thirty people turned
out, including six seniors.
They are Katie Blanton, Carol
Goodman, Amy Little, Becky
Moorer, Amy Potts and Sue
Scott.

The team will travel to a
tournament at the University
of the South in Sewanee, TN

on Oct. 1. They will play the
Sewanee team at 4 p.m. Fri-
day; on Saturday they will
meet Vanderbilt at 8 a.m. and
Centre College of Danville, KN
at noon.

The team practices
Mon.-Thurs. from 5-6. On
Thurs. at 6:30 they scrimmage
against the Georgia Club, a
team of career women which
includes Miss Jo Ann Messick,
coach of the ASC tennis team.
Miss McKemie would like to

recruit alumnae from the
Atlanta area to scrimmage
with the Agnes Scott team.

Miss McKemie urges
everyone to come to practice
even if they do not want to
play on the team and have
never played before. She
stresses the benefits: good ex-
ercise, a lot of fun and meeting
new people. Team players also
get to wear new red, white and
blue kilts.

Students Urged to Consider Medic Alert Emblem
as Link to Treatment in an Emergency

How many students do you
know who leave their
residence for a daily run
without any identification?
How many of your fellow
classmates have a special
medical condition, like
diabetes or medication
allergies, which should be
known in an emergency?

According to Dr. Malcolm
Todd, surgeon and past Presi-
dent of the American Medical
Association, probably 20 per-
cent of the college age popula-
tion in the United States has a
condition that needs to be
known in a medical emergen-
cy.

'Fatal mistakes, un-
necessary or improper treat-
ment can be administered
under emergency conditions if
the special medical condition
of the victim is unknown,"
Todd says. He suggests that
anyone with a special medical
condition wear a Medic Alert
bracelet or necklace.

Recent estimates by the
nonprofit Medic Alert
organization indicate that the
system has played an impor-
tant role in life-saving situa-
tions approximately 2,000
times during the past year.

"Medic Alert is the most
simple and efficient emergen-
cy medical identification and

information system that can
be devised," according to
Todd.

Each member of Medic Alert
receives an annual update on
their wallet card, which serves
as a reminder for the in-
dividual to make changes in
the information, if necessary.

The Medic Alert bracelet or
necklace has engraved on it
the member's identification
number, their special medical
condition and a 24-hour col-
lect phone number to Medic
Alert's emergency information
center. In case of an accident
or sudden illness, a phone call
to a trained operator at the
center will provide authorized
personnel with the member's
vital emergency medical infor-
mation within a few seconds.

Other important data about
the patient,' the name of the
family physician, blood type
and insurance information can
also be a part of the member's
Medic Alert file, for example.

"The more we know about a
victim in an emergency the
quicker and more efficiently
we are able to treat the person.
Medic Alert is an important ad-
junct to providing sound
emergency medical care,"
Todd added.

For information write Medic
Alert, Turlock, California
95381 or call their toll-free
number 800 / 344-3226, or in
California, Alaska and Hawaii

ASC Celebrates 69th Black Cat

by Kitsie Bassett

Sixty-nine years ago in 1914,
Black Cat originated as a
"relief" for freshmen suffering
from traditional upperclass
harrassment. Then, it was only
a skit contest between the
sophomore and freshman
classes. Now, as most of us
know and as the class of 1986
will learn soon, Black Cat has
evolved into much more.

While the spirit of Black Cat
focuses upon the unity within
each class, the Black Kitty
Award focuses upon competi-
tion among the classes. The
award will be presented Friday
night before the Black Cat pro-
duction. Mortar Board has
chosen five faculty members
to judge the various
categories of the competition.

The song category will be
judged on the originality,
"singability," and ap-
propriateness of the sister
class song. Points for 1st, 2nd
and 3rd places will be given in
the various games. Each class
will decorate a specified cor-
ner of Gaines with their class
colors and mascot. The
decorations will be judged on
creativity and originality.
General spirit and participa-
tion will be the final category
of the competition.

Mortar Board stresses that
Black Cat is a time for unity,
spirit and participation.
Everyone is urged to take part
and contribute in all of the ac-
tivities that her respective
class participates.

The official Black Cat
schedule is as follows:

Thursday: 8:45 pm
Classes line up in designated
areas; 9 pm Bonfire.

Friday: 3-5 pm Games
and hockey game; 5-6:30 pm
Picnic; 7:15 pm Classes line
up outside Gaines; 7:30 pm
Presentation of Black Kitty
Award; 8 pm Black Cat pro-
duction; 9-10 pm Campus-
wide party in Quad.

Saturday: 9 pm-1 am
Black Cat formal at Peachtree
Plaza Hotel.

One final note to the
freshmen and sophomores:
1973 is the only time the
sophomores have failed to
guess the freshman mascot. Is
it time to repeat history?

ASC Students Honored

by Kitsie Bassett

The annual Honors Day
Convocation on Wed., Sept.
29, honored 122 Agnes Scott
students in the areas of
academic achivement and
leadership in college ac-
tivities.

Paula Pimlott Brownlee,
President of Hollins College,
spoke on "Women in
Science." Dr. Brownlee com-
mended Agnes Scott's com-
mitment to the sciences, as
demonstrated through the ex-
tensive renovation of Camp-
bell Science Hall this past
year. She encouraged
students not to avoid explor-
ing the sciences just because
it is a field dominated tradi-
tionally by men and she em-
phasized the growing impor-
tance of scientific knowledge
in an increasingly
technological society.

Biology professor Nancy Hurt Manson of Agnes Scott holds
the First Place Young Investigators Award she was presented
by the international Shock Society for her research into cir-
culatory shock in the human body.

Agnes Scott Biologist
Honored For Research

Recently appointed Agnes
Scott College biologist Nancy
Hurt Manson of Decatur
received an award for her in-
vestigations regarding
research of shock in the
human body.

Prof. Manson was recently
presented the 1982 First Place
Young Investigators Award by
the Shock Society, an interna-
tional organization of doctors
and scientists who study
physiological shock.

She received a $300 cash
award and a plaque signed by
the president of the Shock
Society, Sherwood M.
Reichard of the Medical Col-
lege of Georgia in Augusta.
The award is sponsored by
The Upjohn Company.

Prof. Manson won the
Young Investigators Award for
her research into causes for
the body's circulatory system
going into shock. Shock is
defined as a decrease in the
circulating blood volume in
the body and the conse-
quences in this decrease for
the body's brain and vital
organs.

"What was so exciting
about the research," Prof.

Manson said, "was that it was
a new look at the role that tox-
ic oxygen products play in cir-
culatory shock."

Prof. Manson, who joined
the Agnes Scott faculty as an
assistant professor this
September, conducted her
award-winning research at the
Medical College of Virginia of
Virginia Commonwealth
University in Richmond. She
worked in collaboration with
Michael Hess, M.D., of the
medical college.

Prof. Manson plans to con-
tinue her shock research with
"investigations into the effec-
tiveness of particular drugs in
the treatment of circulatory
shock."

An article on her original
research that won the In-
vestigators Award will appear
in a future issue of Circulatory
Shock, a journal of the Shock
Society. The article is entitled
"Human Leukocyte Disruption
of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Calcium Transport Mediated
by Oxygen Free Radicals." An
abstract of this article was
published in an earlier issue of
the journal.

CPO Director Search Underway

by Kitsie Bassett

The search for a new Direc-
tor of Career Planning is well
underway, according to Dean
of Students Martha C.
Kirkland. Libby Wood, who
was appointed director during
Spring Quarter, has announc-
ed her resignation but will con-
tinue to serve part-time until a
replacement has been found.

A search committee, the
standard procedure used for

filling any major position, has
been designated. The commit-
tee, headed by Dean Kirkland,
consists of Dean Hudson, Mrs.
Drucker, Mr. Sheffer, and two
students who have not been
announced yet.

The College began the
seach by placing an ad in The
Chronicle of Higher Education
and sending letters to over 40
colleges and universities. The
committee, which held its first

meeting Sept. 23, has received
numerous applications and
hopes to start inviting several
applicants to the campus for
interviews.

Dean Kirkland stressed that
the staff transition will not af-
fect the usual programs that
CPO offers, but that students
must continue to take the in-
itiative in taking advantage of
what is available through CPO.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

by Laurie McBrayer

Dean Julia Gary said that
"most people do not take full
advantage of the pass-fail op-
tion," a junior / senior
privilege. In the 1981-82 ses-
sion, the class of '84 took 122
pass-fail hours and seniors
took 579 pass-fail hours.

The reason a majority of
students do not take advan-
tage of pass-fail seems to be
twofold: publicity is not effec-
tive and decision time is too
short.

The pass-fail option is main-
ly publicized during course
selection week, prior to vaca-
tion periods. While it is ap-
propriate to inform students of
this option in advance, most
students do not make the deci-
sion until the beginning of a
quarter. The deadline for elec-
ting courses on a pass-fail
basis was announced on the
year-long calendar, but not on
the weekly calendar, which
students are more likely to
read and retain. An additional
reason students may not feel
very informed is that the major
department heads rarely
discuss the option. Dean Gary
explained that department
heads, who only help the stu-
dent schedule major courses
will not discuss pass-fail
because students are not per-

mitted to elect major courses
pass-fail. Department heads
who examine a student's en-
tire course load may indeed
discuss the option with their
advisees. But do they? All
students should be made
aware of this option.

The second reason students
may not opt to take a course
pass-fail is that they only have
10 days to decide. This year
the 10 days included only six
days of class. A Tuesday -
Thursday course would have
met only three times. The
period in which students must
determine whether or not to
elect pass-fail should definite-
ly be extended. The 10 day
period does not allow students
enough time to infer how
heavy their courseloads are.
After 10 days, students will
most likely not have any
grades to use as a basis for
the decision. The decision is
an important one because
students who are concerned
about their G.P.A.'s do not
want to miss the opportunity
to raise their G.P.A., or risk
lowering it. Likewise, if they
are taking courses quite dif-
ferent from their majors, they
may need a little time to see if
they have difficulty in ad-
justing to a new discipline. A

would not want to risk getting
a "C" in upper level English,
however, she would benefit
G.P.A.-wise if she earned an
"A." Students at Emory have
17 days to make a decision.
They are, however, on the
semester system.

Dean Gary said that
students are given 10 days to
make all decisions about their
courseloads including adding
and dropping courses. She
said, "This is a time to for-
malize agreements regarding
your classes."

Dean Gary said that the pur-
pose of pass-fail is "to en-
courage students to take up-
per level courses outside their
own disciplines and not feel
like they have to compete with
upper class majors." Most im-
portantly, taking a class pass-
fail relieves academic
pressure. As Dean Gary said,
"Good students still do well."

Dean Gary indicated that it
would be feasible to change
the deadline for pass-fail.
Thus, I would like to suggest
that this proposal be raised
and passed through the ap-
propriate channels. The ASC
Academic Council passed the
policy in 1969 after a two year
trial. It's time for a change in
this 13-year-old policy.

Nicolaus Bruhns, who was
fond of musical stunts such as
playing two instruments at
once. Prof. Martin will also
perform "Perlude and Fugue
on B-A-C-H" by Franz Liszt. Ac-
cording to Prof. Martin, in
Liszt's composition, "the
dramatic and colorful
resources of the organ are ex-

Liszt's piano writing."

On a mechanical organ,
which was the organ of the
Baroque age, Prof. Martin will

Jody Stone Teaches In Japan This Summer

by Jane Zanca

Jody Stone, ASC senior,
spent 10 weeks of this past
summer in Japan. Jody work-
ed as an instructor of English
for Japanese children. She
was one of 151 students sent
to four cities by an organiza-
tion called Inter-Varsity.

Jody's trip began at a Mis-
sions Conference which was
sponsored by Inter-Varsity. In
a room at least twice the size
of Agnes Scott's gymnasium,
Jody said, there was "booth
after booth" promoting places
to go for a summer of mission
work. Inter-Varsity provided
the initial contacts for the
work, but expenses were en-
tirely the responsibility of the
students.

Jody made an appeal to 10
people for sponsorship.
Responses came from 60 dif-
ferent people, including
friends on campus, church
members, and people Jody
didn't know but who were in-
terested in her work. The total
cost of the trip was $3,000.
Jody's sponsors provided
$4,000. She shared the excess
funds with students who had
not met their own expenses
yet.

Jody lived in Osaka, a city of
approximately eight million
people. Osaka is about four
hours southwest of Tokyo "by
very fast train." Her host fami-

Visiting America for her se-
cond time, Ulrike Zeyse from
Hamburg, Germany, is atten-
ding Agnes Scott College this
year. Four years ago Ulrike,
then 18 years old, visited
California for four weeks. An
exchange student, she lived
with a family in their home
near Los Angeles.

"I liked the United States
and have always wanted to
come back," says Ulrike.
Ulrike heard about ASC
through her English teacher in
Hamburg. Three years ago,
Melonie Linzmann, also from
Hamburg, attended ASC.
Ulrike is the fourth student
from her school to visit ASC.
She is taking English,
economics, political science

ly lived on the third floor of a
church, an arrangement which
may seem unusual to
Americans whose notion of

and modern dance. She will be
nere for three quarters.

"The classes here are more
work. In Germany 50% of your
grade is class participation.
Here you just listen while the
professor lectures," says
Ulrike.

Another difference Ulrike
notes is that "many girls in
America have permanents and
curl their hair. Also, some girls
wear a lot of make-up. In Ger-
many the girls have shorter
hair and do not wear much
make-up."

Ulrike has studied English
for seven years, Latin four
years and French one year.
Her hobbies include reading
and playing piano. Ulrike says
she "likes it at Agnes Scott.
The people are very friendly."

space is quite different from
that of the Japanese people. In
Japan, teeming cities are jam-
packed and short of land, and
the only solution is to build
vertically and on every
possible piece of property.

Jody's main job was that of
teaching conversational
English to Japanese children,
but she felt that her deeper
purpose was tied into her
religious faith. Japan, she
says, is only 1% Christian,
and much of Japan's popula-
tion can and does live a
lifetime with no exposure to or
experience of the Christian
faith.

Jody wanted to share the ex-
perience of Christianity, but it
was a matter which demanded
careful thought and an expan-
sion of the normal dimensions
of communication. A major
hurdle was the language bar-
rier, for though Japanese
school children study English
all through school, their skill is

by Kim Kennedy

The Yamaha Motorcycle
Company is now putting out
not only a motorcycle made
for women but a motorcycle
made by women. Women in
Japan have proven that they
do their best work when
separated from men and as a
result, Yamaha has developed
an all-female assembly line.

In 1976, Yamaha developed
a range of lightweight 50-CC
motorcycles just for women
and it was also decided by the
company president that they
should be made by women.
President Hisao Koike's idea
was that the motorcycles
should be made by women
"because they have more
delicate touch and a better
feel for the type of machine
their sisters would like to

mostly limited to reading.
Jody's students were at the
level of learning to speak
numbers and basic conversa-
tion, so she had to devise a
non-verbal means of convey-
ing the Christian experience.

One of Jody's first solutions
was to become intensely
aware of her own behavior and
how it would be viewed by
those around her. She says
she tried hard to keep her
room extra neat and to be on
time for functions. She was
also constantly aware that she
"stuck out like a sore thumb"
in the homogeneous society of
Japan. "Little kids never stop-
ped staring at me," she said.
"In America, we are used to
seeing different people and
cultures!"

Jody also learned that a
large part of communication is
not just verbal. She could tell
by postures and gestures what
was being said in conversa-
tion, even though she
understood very little
Japanese. The intonation used
when one corrects a child, she
observed, is universal. She
could tell when her pastor
moved from a serious point to
a humorous one, an observa-
tion which she had much time
to develop, as she often had to
sit in on four-hour-long church
services which were entirely in
Japanese!

Jody found that the
Japanese people are
fascinated with the American
culture. The young people are
singularly absorbed in
American music, and dress
"voguish-New Yorkish." Just
as the United States is flooded
with Japanese products,
Japan is flooded with
American products. Jody was
amazed to find that signs in
Japan are printed bilingually
once in Japanese, then
again in English.

There is much interest in
Christianity in Japan, but Jody
feels that this interest is in-
itially shallow because the ap-
peal is based on the concep-
tion of Christianity as an
American faith. The traditional
faiths of Japan are Buddhist
and Shinto, but Jody found
these faiths to be honored
more for the tradition than for

ride."

It takes these high school
graduates just a week of basic
training in quality control,
safety and production costs
before they join the assembly
line. Motoo Makimura, the
assembly line supervisor,
says, "Some of the senior girls
can easily do their own
maintenance and could start
their own motorcycle
business. The idea that
women are not mechanical
minded is simply male
egotism." He goes on to say
that "once you give them
some sense of responsibility,
they do a much better job than
men."

Physical differences bet-
ween men and women have
been bridged by Yamaha as

religious celebration. She
feels that the culture there is
very materialistic and even
somewhat atheistic. Buddhist
feasts are enjoyed more like a
parade than as a religious ex-
perience, in the same sense as
Christmas is commercialized
in America. Japan's traditions,
however, are firmly entrench-
ed, whether shallow or deeply
felt. "It is very difficult for a
Japanese youth to take the
Christian faith," she said,
"because of the family
pressures that are placed on
them not to do so."

Jody feels satisfied that she
accomplished what she set
out to do in Japan. Her initial
interest in the summer place-
ment was based on the pro-
gram and the people in it,
rather than on the place, but
she grew to enjoy Japan and
hopes to return there at some
point. Jody is majoring in
Biology at Agnes Scott and
will graduate in'83.

Jody will be sharing slides
of her trip and some of her
stories from Japan tonight,
October 4, at 9:30 p.m. The
presentation will be held in the
Hub.

they have built a special
assembly line for this all-
woman operation. For exam-
ple, special tools were design-
ed such as a wrench operated
by compressed air. Also more
robots have been installed to
eliminate any heavy jobs.

When the idea to hire
women for Yamaha's
assembly line was brought up,
male workers strongly oppos-
ed on the basis that women
would "slow down
production." It is interesting
that assembly line supervisor
Makimura seems to believe
the women "eventually will
become capable of working
faster and producing better
quality than men." It seems
that in this unique assembly
line Yamaha may have the
"better" idea.

Kathryn Hart Interns
in Arts and Federal

News Briefs

Kathryn Hart, senior major-
ing in Economics, narrowed
her career goals through ex-
perience with two internships.
This summer, Kathryn worked
at the Georgia Council for the
Arts. Currently she is interning
at the Federal Reserve Bank.

To begin with, Kathryn has
definitely eliminated waitress-
ing from her list of possible
careers. Although she did

Kathryn Hart

receive big tips from the
assorted clientele of Cincin-
nati's Bar and Grill, the new
Federal tax laws requiring
waitresses to declare their
tips made the yearly income
much less appealing. At any
rate, waitressing was merely a
means of supplementary in-
come while she interned at the
Georgia Council for the Arts.

Obtained through the Gover-
nor's Intern Program, the in-
ternship lasted for 10 weeks
during the summer. Kathryn
served as executive assistant
to Frank Ratke, the director of
the Georgia Council's staff.
For the most part, Kathryn's
duties consisted or resear-
ching which arts organiza-

tions in Georgia had to supply
audits and salary listings in
order to receive 1982 grants.
Next she had to contact the
organizations involved. Once
the audits and salary listings
arrived at the Council for the
Arts, Kathryn reviewed and
commented upon them before
submitting them to the direc-
tor.

In addition, Kathryn observ-
ed the grants applications pro-
cess. Non-profit organizations
or individual artists with an
organizational "umbrella"
may submit grant applica-
tions. Kathryn sat in on ad-
visory panel meetings and on
Executive Council meetings at
which grants applications
were reviewed. Overall,
Kathryn reports that "although
I did learn some things, my
final report to the Governor's
Intern Program offered sug-
gestions of a more structured
internship and better methods
of utilizing interns. Someone
going into arts administration
would probably have benefit-
ted more."

Naturally, an economist
finds an internship at the
Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta much more
stimulating. In fact, Kathryn
claims that it is "an excellent
opportunity to utilize the
research and analytical skills
which I have developed
through the course work at
Agnes Scott." Throughout fall
quarter, Kathryn will put these
skills to use for 15 to 20 hours
every week.

Interning under Frank King,
team leader of the Financial
Structures Team of the
Research Department,

Dalton Exhibit to
Feature Atlanta Artists

Sculptor C. Andree Davidt
and painter Guy Robinson,
boih of Atlanta, will exhibit
their works Oct. 10 through
Nov. 18 in the Dalton Galleries
of the Dana Fine Arts Building
at Agnes Scott.

All are invited to meet the
artists at the opening recep-
tion Sunday, Oct. 10, from 2 to
5 pm. Admission to the show
and reception is free of
charge.

Davidt, who owns Andree
Studios, has had sculptures
commissioned by the City of
Atlanta, private individuals,
churches and corporations.
His work has been exhibited
by the High Museum of Art,
the Forrest Avenue Consor-
tium, Callanwolde Fine Arts
Center, and private galleries in
New York City, Georgia,
Florida and Colorado.

Robinson, who attended the
Atlanta School of Art, was in-
vited to exhibit in the 1982

Atlanta Arts Festival in Pied-
mont Park and the 1982 Mon-
tgomery Arts Festival in
Alabama. His paintings have
been shown by the High
Museum of Art, the Forrest
Avenue Consortium, Emory
University and private
galleries in Atlanta and
Florida. His works are in
private collections in New
York, London, Boston, San
Francisco, Chicago, Dallas,
Houston, Miami, Atlanta and
Washington, among other
cities.

Robinson describes his
paintings as "symbolic in
nature and intended to involve
the viewer in an internal
dialogue." He says, "We
humans build for ourselves
closed perceptual and concep-
tual boxes. Art can cut win-
dows, or knock holes, out of
these little boxes we have
been calling reality."

Kathryn works with two other
economists, four economic
analysts, and one other intern.
Her assignment includes
organizing and conducting a
survey of IRA accounts cur-
rently offered by financial in-
stitutions to the Federal
Reserve's 6th District. After
analyzing and reporting the
results of her survey, she may
do an additional survey of
salary reduction 401 K plans (a
different type of retirment
plan). She reports that her job
"is challenging. It's very dif-
ferent from anything I've done
before because I work in-
dependently. I like the fact
that they expect a lot of me."

Thus far, the Federal
Reserve Internship has proven
very worthwhile for Kathryn,
especially in view of her future
plans: "Depending upon the
job situation upon graduation,
I would like to pursue a career
in investment banking,
specifically cash manage-
ment, with possibly a long-
term career goal with a
securities firm."

Mississippi U. for Women
didn't recruit any male
students, but drew 65 men in
its fall class of 1,700 new
students. MUW officials admit
they didn't expect that many.
A U.S. Supreme Court decision
this summer opened MUW's
doors to male students. The
state College Board recently
promised MUW alumnae it will
continue supporting the
school as a single-sex institu-
tion and won't recruit male
students.

Little Sister Groups should
be de-emphasized, the Frater-
nity Executives Association
recommended at its recent na-
tional meeting. Sororities are
the proper outlet for female
association, the FEA resolu-

tion stated. Little sister groups
divert fraternity time and fun-
ding, and can confuse the
identity of all Greek letter
organizations.

"A new conservatism ... is
waging a war against women
to strip them of gains made in
recent decades," said Mary
Purcell, President of the
American Association of
University Women. The
A.A.U.W. has a new hotline
that provides current informa-
tion about Congressional
hearings and issues that will
soon be in the spotlight of in-
terest to women. That number
is 800-424-9717. (see Glamour,
March 1982).

Fiction Writers' Help Day Held

For anyone interested in
writing, Oxford Books,
Peachtree Battle Shopping
Center, is the place to be on
Saturday, October 16.

Co-hosted by Oxford Books
and publisher Writer's Digest
Books (Cincinnati, Ohio), this
one-day open house will
celebrate the publication of
the new book, Fiction Writer's
Help Book, by Maxine Rock,
an Atlanta writer.

For her book, Rock did what
writers everywhere long to do:
she interviewed scores of suc-
cessful writers to learn the
secrets of their success. Rock
shares their techniques, ad-
vice, and experiences in Fic-
tion Writer's Help Book, with
chapters devoted to such
topics as finding ideas, resear-
ching, organizing plots, and
more. On the marketing side,
the writers' insights are joined
by advice from editors, agents,
publishers, and reviewers, to
provide a one-volume "Help

Book" which writers are sure
to refer to often.

On October 16, from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m. at Oxford Books,
the pages of Fiction Writer's
Help Book come to life. Max-
ine Rock and more than 30
well-known writers from the
book (including Rosemary
Daniel!, Tom Cook, Stuart
Woods, Paul Darcy Boles, and
Margaret Ann Barnes) will be
on hand to talk both formally
and informally with would-be
and already active writers of
both fiction and non-fiction.

Panel discussions will
focus on such topics as "How
Books Are Born," "Censorship
and the Writer," "Blending
Fact & Fiction" and "Team
Writing." In addition there will
be editors, publishers, and
literary agents on hand to
discuss fiction from a
marketing viewpoint.

Radio station WABE-FM will
be broadcasting live that day
from Oxford Books, and will

tape discussions among
authors participating in Fic-
tion writer's Help Day. A two-
part series Fact and Fiction
will air on WABE October
28 and November 11 at 7:30
p.m. The series will provide in-
sights and comments re-
garding issues facing today's
authors.

There is no admission
charge, and all are welcome.
For additional information or
for program details, call Ox-
ford Books, 262-3332.

What: Fiction Writer's Help
Day brief lectures, panel
discussions, and informal

Emory Hosts Opera Performance

Gilbert and Sullivan's
operate lolanthe will be the
next presentation of the
Southeastern Savoyards open-
ing at The Emory University
Theatre October 6. There will
be performances each evening
through October 9 with a se-
cond series of evening shows
October 13 through 15.
Matinees will be performed
October 10 and 17 with no
evening performances on
these dates. Evening shows
begin at 8 o'clock; matinees at
two o'clock.

All seats for Friday and
Saturday evenings are $8. For
all other performances, tickets
are $6 for adults, and $5 for
senior citizens, students, and
children. For ticket informa-
tion, call 396-0620. Group rates
are available.

lolanthe is a fanciful satire
on nineteenth century English
politics, involving a^bevy of
fairies and a group of English
Peers. Gilbert's hilariously
tangled plot is spiced with
some of his funniest dialogus
and cleverest lyrics, while the
lively score contains some of
Sullivan's catchiest and most
enchanting airs.

Featured Savoyard players
include Tedi Langdon as
Phyllis, Deborah Collins as the

Fairy Queen, and GiGi
Weinrich as lolanthe. The
character of Strephon, the half
mortal, half fairy lad is played
by Neil Gregory. The two
bemused earls, Moutararat
and Tolloller, are Neal Clark
and Robert Wayne. Rue
Knapp, long a favorite of

Savoyard patrons, brings his
comic talents to the role of the
Lord Chancellor. His sister,
Sally Knapp directs the pro-
duction, and J. Lynn Thomp-
son is musical director and or-
chestra conductor. Gene
Erickson is set designer.

ly Ringwald) share their days on a remote island in the Peloponnesus of Greece in "Tempest," a
contemporary comdey with dramatic overtones. The Paul Mazursky film also stars Gena
Rowlands, Vittorio Gassman and Sam Robards. Producer-director Mazursky wrote the
screenplay with Leon Capetanos, which was co-produced by Steven Bernhardt and Pato Guz-
man.

Long or Short Formals
Appropriate for Black Cat

by Mary MacKinnon

As equally an important
question as whom to ask to
the Black Cat formal Is what to
wear to Black Cat. As you
search through the many
racks of evening fashions in
local clothing stores, or as you
try to decide between two for-
mal dresses you brought to
school from home, you will
find that your options are
varied. Fashion designers are
keeping the door open for in-
dividual style; long or short
dresses are appropriate now
for evenings, and these
dresses can be fancy and
opulent, or surprisingly simple
in design.

Do keep in mind that this
year the Black Cat dance is a
"black tie requested" formal.
Although this does not mean
that your dress must be long,
it means that you should
choose something dressy. If
you want to keep in tune with
the swing band theme, try a
cocktail dress reminiscent of
the late 1930's to early 1940's
style. This look, a slimmed
down elegant style, is very
popular with many designers
now and cocktail dresses, be-
ing shorter, provide ease of
movement, an important con-
cern for dancing.

Of course, the long formal is
not to be forgotten; this style
is always elegant. Look for
styles that have long, unclut-
tered lines. You can choose a
sleek, sophisticated look or
you can even pair a simple, yet
stunning blouse with a long,
straight skirt in taffeta.

Black and white are present-
ly the biggest colors for even-
ing perfect for Black Cat.
However, do be adventurous
and try some equally ap-
propriate colors such as red,
hot pink, or grey.

Accessories will help turn
what was once deemed a
"plain" dress into a

"stunning" outfit. Shoes will
be your most important ac-
cessory. Flatter heels are
more fashionable now, and
definitely more comforable.
Try a low-heeled pump trimm-
ed in metallic piping or a
ballet-style flat with a bow.
Tuxedo pumps, low to flat
black patent leather pumps
with a black bow, are the
perfect shoes for any dress,
long or short.

A note on legwear: Obvious-
ly, legwear will not be your big-
gest concern if you plan to
wear a long dress, unless the
dress has back of side slits.
Legwear today is more than
choosing between natural and
suntan colored hose. Colored
and textured hosiery adds
special interest to a shorter
evening outfit. Try to carry the
main color of your dress in the

sure to keep the color of your
shoes keyed to the color of
your hose. For something dif-
ferent: If your dress is a com-
bination of various colors, to
help highlight one of these
subtle colors, choose a hose
in the color that you wish to br-
ing out most.

A final note on accessories:
A belt or silk sash can help to
update an old, yet favorite
dress. A belt also helps to
change the line of the dress.
Belting will give shape to a full
dress, or make a blouson of a
straight dress.

Just remember that dress-
ing for Black Cat is special.
Use your imagination to create
an original outfit. Above all,
remember that you, not the
outfit that you will wear, will
be that which is remembered.

Paul Mazursky describes
his film as "a contemporary
comedy with dramatic over-
tones," freely adapted from
the spirit of Shakespeare's
The Tempest."

"Tempest" stars John
Cassavetes as Phillip
Dimitrious, an architect who
wants "to wander, to dream;"
Gena Rowlands as his actress-
wife Antonia; Vittorio
Gassman as Alonzo, Phillip's
tycoon employer; Susan
Sarandon as the spirited
Aretha, Phillip's island compa-
nion; Raul Julia as Kalibanos,
the Greek who loves his Sony
Trinitron as much as his goats;
Molly Ringwald as Miranda,
Phillip and Antonia's
daughter, and Sam Robards as
Alonzo's son, Freddy.

Together with co-writer
Leon Capetanos, Mazursky

creates a contemporary story
about a man, who, no longer
able to tolerate the com-
promises he has made, flees a
stormy Manhattan marriage
for a nearly deserted Greek
island with his daughter,
Miranda.

The story unfolds during the
course of one typical day in
paradise. Phillip lusts after
perfection, Kilabanos lusts
after Miranda, Miranda lusts
for snow cones and Billy Joel
concerts and Aretha just plain
lusts.

Their fragile tranquility is
soon shattered however,
when, as if by magic, a storm
begins to rage. The tempest
brings to the shores of
Phillip's allusive fantasy the
very people he though he
could live without and finally
returns them to reality, renew-
ed and strengthened.

Darling Discusses Folk Dance Forms of Georgia

by Mary MacKinnon

One can learn the history
and the traditions of a people
by studying their forms of
entertainment. One such art
and form is the traditional
dance of a people. During her
sabbatical last year (1981-1982
academic year), Prof. Marylin
Darling, ASC's dance instruc-
tor, gained insight into the
history of Georgians through
dance. Her study involved an
exploration of the folk dance
forms of Georgia. Special em-
phasis was placed on the
dance forms in the Lower Flint
River Valley region of Georgia.

In order to study the local
folk dances, Mrs. Darling
stated that, "I first began by
studying the obvious going
to many festivals in the fall
and spring to observe the
dances. By not limiting my
area, I was able to get a feel
for what was happening in folk
revival." The types of dances
that are commonly performed
at these festivals are clogging,
square dancing, and black
spiritual and folk dancing
especially in the Lower Chat-
tahoochee River Valley. "I not
only observed the dance,"
commented Mrs. Darling, "but
also the audience reaction and
participation. The audience
had a great, overwhelming en-
thusiasm for the dancers."

"Dance Remembered,
Times Past: A Study of Extant
Folk Dance Forms of
Georgia," is the title of Mrs.
Darling's study in dance. Dur-
ing her preliminary research,
Mrs. Darling met Fred Fussell,
a director in this area of study
of the Lower Chattahoochee
Valley Project. Mr. Fussell, she
remarked, stated that he was
trying to "bring people out of
the backwoods" in his
research of the folk dance.
Mrs. Darling said that accor-
ding to Mr. Fussell the validity
of this is that there are many
young people in the cities who
do not have a knowledge of
their past. "As an artist, I know
that a people's history is told
through art. When an art form
dies, civilization begins a slow
decline." Therefore, the main
objective in reviving folk
dance, and in finding people in
the "backwoods" who
remember the times of the folk

dance, is so that the youth will
learn this culture and continue
its tradition. "You see this
happening in regions of the
Appalachian Mountains."

The man that she
spoke with felt that times are
different now. "Today people
dance in clubs, in impersonal
places. In the past they danc-
ed in people's homes. This
helped to give people com-
monality," observed Mrs. Darl-
ing. "The dance was a com-
mon bond." The blacks, she
said, called these social
dances "frolics." "Even
though the mode
characteristics of the dances

differed, the basis for the
dance was the same."

Mrs. Darling would like tu
continue an in-depth study to
explore several idioms of the
black dance. "There is a
wonderful double-entendre, an
innuendo in their dance."
Much of the dance was done
in coded meaning. In this way,
the dance form could make a
comment on a certain aspect
of society, or on life. The com-
ment could only be interpreted
by those who understood the
dance step's significance.

From the time period of
slavery through the 1940's, the
dances had not changed much

in their meaning. They reflect
the status quo of the times.
"There are many people alive
today that remember these
dances. Although codification
of the dance hasn't changed,
there has been subjective in-
terpretation in reading a dance
step. It was a great experience
to talk to the people it open-
ed my eyes to the heritage that
was, and I experienced people
frozen in time. They could ar-
ticulate the present, but their
minds were alert, the past was
fresh. When I walked into their
homes, I felt transported back
like an anthropologist step-
ping back in time."

Since 1971, Mrs. Darling has

been the dance instructor at
Agnes Scott. "I can't
remember not dancing," she
commented. She has studied
with many currently well-
known dancers such as Mar-
tha Graham, Bob Fosse, Alvin
Ailey, and Alwin Nikolais. She
received her master's degree
in music with dance emphasis
at Florida State University.
Mrs. Darling is currently work-
ing on her Ph.D. in the
humanities, also with dance
emphasis, at Florida State.
She will continue to conduct
in-depth research on the folk
dance forms, and she said she
will one day prepare her
research for publication.

'82 ACC Football Teams Gain Respect

The surprise of the 1981
season was the emergence of
Clemson as national cham-
pion. The Tigers are members
of the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference, a league more
respected for roundball ex-
cellence than for football ac-
complishement. The ACC is
the only conference in
America's six top conferences
without a guaranteed position
in the Big Four New Year's
Day bowls. The play of Clem-
son and fellow ACC-member
North Carolina may earn the
conference a new respect
from the Cotton, Sugar, and
Orange Bowl selection com-
mittees. The Tigers and Tar
Heels were both found in most
pre-season top tens.

Defending national cham-
pion Clemson returns slender
signal caller Homer Jordan
from the offensive unit which
outplayed Nebraska in last
year's Orange Bowl. Jordan
passed for 134 net yards an a
touchdown, plus led a ball
control offense which controll-
ed possession of the last five
minutes of the game as the
Tigers beat Nebraska 22-15.

The offence for Clemson
should be equal to the 1981
edition. An experienced
backfield returns with Jordan
and the receivers are very com-
petent. The defense expects to
be solid despite the loss of All-
American linebacker Jeff
Davis.

Last season, North Carolina
lost a narrow 10-8 decision to
Clemson in a game in which
super Carolina tailback Kelvin
Bryant was at less than full
speed after returning from a
injury. Bryant, a former North
Carolina high school sprint
champ, scored 15 touchdowns
in the first three games and
rushed for over 1000 yards in
only seven regular season
games. Kelvin must be con-

sidered as one of the four
leading Heisman candidates
(along with Georgia's
Herschel Walker, Stanford's
John Elway, and Dan Marino
of Pittsburgh.)

Senior quarterback Rod
Elkins returns for his encore
season after two full years at
the Tar Heel helm.

The high point of the 1982
ACC season figures to be the
Nov. 6 battle when the Tar

Heels visit Clemson. North
Carolina will be out for
revenge after the Tigers
treated the Tar Heels so rudely
when Carolina hosted their
1981 game.

The strength of a pair of
powerful teams is bringing a
new respect to an old con-
ference. The Tar Heels should
be the stronger of the pair, but
both are definite contenders
for national honors.

How Fluids Help Your Cough or Cold

Water is what makes our
planet different from all the
others, and it's what makes us
what we are mostly water.
Up to 60% of the average
healthy human being's weight
is represented by water which
is essential to all body tissues
and to the transport of
nutrients and waste materials
within the body it also aids in
the regulation of body
temperature and helps to
lubricate our joints. Normally,
the body is provided with
water through the liquids we
drink and the foods we eat.
When we are burdened by a
cold, water is lost through in-
creased perspiration and
evaporation due to heavier
breathing. This is one reason
you should increase your in-
take of liquids with a cold.

Another important reason is to
help your cough bring up the
mucus that is formed in the
respiratory passages. Water
keeps the mucus thin and li-
quid and helps the cough to do
the job nature intended.

Finally, water and humidity
can make you more comfor-
table while the cough and cold
run their course.

Several ways to increase
your fluid intake when you
have a cough and cold:

Glamorize Water: Perhaps
you'll drink more that way.
Soft drinks (low-in-sugar
preferably) and hot or iced tea
are some of the more pleasant
ways to increase your water in-
take. Fruit drinks have nutri-
tional benefits which your
body may need due to fever or
the exertion of coughing.

Drink water: 10 eight-ounce
glasses of water every day will
give your body much of the
water it needs to thin out
phlegm and moisten dry, in-
flamed tissues of the mouth,
nose and throat.

Eat Water: Fruits and
vegetables are 80% water.
Fish is 75% water, beef, ham
and eggs 50%.

Disperse water . . . inhale
water: A cool mist humidifier
is probably the fastest way to
add water to the air to moisten
breathing passages and hel
prevent dry, scratchy throats.
Other good methods are hot
steam vaporizers, a teakettle
on an electric plate, or simply
cover a radiator with a wet
bath towel. Ask your physician
or pharmacist for his recom-
mendation.

Seniors to Participate in Age Old Ceremony This Weekend

by Kitsie Bassett

This weekend, Oct. 16 and
17, the Class of 1983 will par-
ticipate in a ceremony that
originated hundreds of years
ago in Europe. Today, in-
vestiture comprises an entire
weekend of festivities.

The first occasion of In-
vestiture Weekend, the cap-
ping ceremony, will be held
Saturday, Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. in
Gaines Chapel of Presser Hall.
Dr. Julia T. Gary, dean of the
college, will cap each senior
with an academic mortar-
board. This capping ceremony

is the forerunner to graduation
when the bachelor of arts
hood, a cloth drape in the col-
lege's colors of purple and
white is added to the grad-
uate's academic costume.

Agnes Scott's Class of 1983
has chosen Dr. Miriam K.
Drucker, Charles A. Dana Pro-
fessor of Psychology, to ad-
dress them and their guests
during the capping ceremony.
Dr. Drucker has titled her talk
"Change as Stress and
Challenge."

Following the ceremony,
Dean Gary and Dean Kirkland

will host a brunch for the
seniors and their guests in
Winship.

Students and friends of the
college will worship together
Sunday at 11 a.m. in Maclean
Auditorium of Presser Hall. Dr.
Mary B. Sheats, Fuller E.
Callaway Professor of Bible
and Religion, will preach. Her
sermon, "Who's Time?", will
be based on the scripture Ec-
clesiastes 3:1-8. President
Ruth A. Schmidt, who will
preside during both occa-
sions, will host a Continental
breakfast prior to the Sunday
morning services for the

seniors and their guests.

In feudal times, investitute
was a ceremony by which an
overlord transferred a fief to
his vassal or in ecclesiastical
circles, an elected cleric
received his pastoral ring and
staff representing the transfer
of office. The fief also received
some symbol of his new posi-
tion. (The New Columbia En-
cyclopedia, 1975) This same
type of ceremony was con-
ducted hundreds of years ago
in English universities to in-
vest a student with senior
status. Today, Agnes Scott
may be the only college in the
United States to still hold a

traditional senior investiture
ceremony.

Although investiture has
been celebrated for over 70
years at Agnes Scott, its exact
origins are not clear. In 1908,
the Senior Class became the
first to wear caps and gowns.
The first documentation of in-
vestiture was in a 1912 year-
book.

In 1913, it is recorded that
the Senior Class decided to
hold a public ceremony rather
than the previously private
one. This was to avoid the
junior class's annual attempts
to steal the seniors' caps and
gowns prior to the ceremony.

Wood Replaces Wood
in Career Planning

Due to an unexpected cir-
cumstance, members of the
search committee for a new
director of the Career Planning
Office were able to complete
their selection in a very short
time. Libby Wood, who had
resigned as Director of Career
Planning this summer,
withdrew her resignation last
week. The search committee
agreed unanimously to recom-
mend the acceptance of her
withdrawal of resignation so
that she may work at Agnes
Scott.

Dean of Students Martha C.
Kirkland accepted Ms. Wood's
resignation this past summer.
Ms. Wood, who recently had a
baby, decided that she would
remain at home full time. She

resigned during the summer
purposely to allow the college
as much time as possible to
find her replacement. She also
offered to work part time until
that replacement could be
found. Since then, Ms. Wood
has found that she can
balance the duties required of
a full time CPO director and a
full time mother.

"I really do feel more com-
mitted professionally after
staying home and I have realiz-
ed how much I personally need
to work. As the baby got older,
I found that I could manage
both a career and a baby,"
commented Ms. Wood. "I also
feel that I have practiced what
I always preach to students
about self-assessment and
decision making! I know that I
can do a better job now since I
have experienced the
pressures of juggling the
responsibilities of home and
work, and I can relate these ex-
periences to students who are

making their own decisions,
especially RTCs."

On Friday, Oct. 1, Ms. Wood
requested to Dean Kirkland
that she be "re-considered"
for her position. Dean Kirkland
then took this proposal to
President Schmidt. Both
decided to submit the idea to
the search committee for their
consideration and for the com-
mittee to make a recommen-
dation to President Schmidt.

During the time that it was
apparent Ms. Wood would be
leaving, over 50 people had ap-
plied for her position. A search
committee, headed by Dean
Kirkland had also been ap-
pointed. Members of this com-
mittee had reviewed all of the
applicants' resumes and
assembled for their first
meeting last Monday (Oct. 4).
At this time, Dean Kirkland in-
formed the committee of the
most recent development.

The committee considered

qualifications and her record
both as Asst. Director of CPO
and as Director of CPO. Fur-
thermore, the committee felt
that it was to the students'
benefit that Ms. Wood remain
as she is well acquainted with

students, faculty, CPO pro-
grams and job contacts. For
these reasons, the entire com-
mittee recommended to Presi-
dent Schmidt that she reap-
point Ms. Wood as Director of
CPO.

Playwright to Lecture on French Director Jacques Copeau

American-born playwright
and scholar Maurice Kurtz of
Paris, France, will lecture
Wednesday, Oct. 13, at Agnes
Scott on Jacques Copeau, the
early 20th-century French ac-
tor and director considered to
have been one of the major
forces in contemporary
theater. Kurtz, an official lec-
turer for the French Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, will speak in
English at 8:15 p.m. in the
Winter Theater of the Dana

Fine Arts Building.

Kurtz, an important Con-
tinental playwright in his own
right, is the author of the first
biography on Jacques
Copeau, who wrote a preface
for the book. Copeau, who
died in 1949, was a rebellious
pioneer who set out to decom-
mercialize the stage by restor-
ing dramatic art to the heights
it had attained with the an-
cient Greeks, and with
Shakespeare, Moliere and the

best of their followers. As a
director and teacher of acting,
Copeau, along with Stanislav-
sky, is credited with having set
the direction for 20th-century
acting.

Kurtz, who has lived in Paris
since 1946, was educated at
the Sorbonne and received his
Ph.D. from Columbia Universi-
ty in New York, where he has
taught French literature. He
has written numerous articles

on theater and opera for the
Sunday New York Times, The
New Statesman in London,
Arts, Le Figaro and Le Monde
in Paris. He was awarded the
first prize in 1972 for the Best
Original Play at the Dublin
Theatre Festival. His plays
and French adaptations of
plays by Arthur Miller and J. B.
Priestley have had major pro-
ductions in Paris, Brussels,
Switzerland, England and
Dublin.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

'Extension 385 ;

by Laurie McBrayer

Those of you who missed
Judy Chicago's exhibit, "The
Dinner Party," at the Fox, real-
ly missed something.

This art exhibit was
phenomenal because it was
educationally enlightening as
well as aesthetically pleasing.
"The Dinner Party" celebrates
women who made noteworthy
contributions to society, but
received little recognition. The
exhibit includes a triangular
dining table (the triangle is a
feminist symbol) with 39 place
settings for individual
achievers, who represent a
group of women from the
same particular historical
period. Each setting includes
a porcelain plate and a woven
banner (place mat) which
represent two crafts typically
associated with women: China
painting and weaving. In addi-
tion, a tile floor containing the
handpainted names of 999
women is in the center of the
triangle.

Another exhibit connected
with "The Dinner Party" is the
International Quilting Bee.
People from all over the world
are invited to send in a
triangular quilt 24 inches on
each side with a two inch
border indicating the name of
the woman or women's group
being honored, the city and
country. The exhibit already in-
cludes at least 100 attractive
quilts. I was very pleased to
learn that Rep Council is work-
ing on designing a quilt
representing ASC. I would like
to encourage other campus
organizations to consider
designing a quilt as a group
project.

Judy Chicago chose to con-
vey an important message
through art. The exhibit is, in
fact, a learning center which

explains the techniques used
to construct the work, honors
the artists and researchers,
and reveals the historical
dateline including women
achievers. For me, the exhibit
makes an impact because it
announces the names of
women who made significant
contributions but were never
introduced to me in primary or
secondary education. History,
has in fact, failed to recognize
these achievers.

The researchers who chose
the 999 names for the Heritage
Floor used three criteria.
These questions are ap-
propriate for us to examine in
regard to our own goals: (1) Did
the woman make a significant
contribution to society? (2) Did
she attempt to improve condi-
tions for women? (3) Did her
life illuminate an aspect of
women's experience or pro-
vide a role model for the
future?

SGA President

Reprinted from "The Dinner Party" brochure.

What do Mr. Bill Weber, Mrs.
Kate Goodson, Mortar Board
and my father have in com-
mon? Each has taught me a lot
about the basics of
economics. I've learned about
the theory of supply and de-
mand, factors of production,
efficiency and equity, utility,
and much more ... all in one
week! You don't have to be an
economics major to see how
these terms can fit in the
description of this past, pro-
ductive week at ASC.

Let's start with Rep
Council's big news. Like every
ambitious economic system,
efficiency and equity are two
of our major objectives. It is
important that we maximize
our limited resources and try
to distribute our money in the
most beneficial way for the
most people. Over the past
few years our SGA Savings Ac-
count has accumulated
almost $6,000 and Rep decid-
ed that it was time to let that
money work for us. We went to
the Accounting Office to
discuss a few ideas for next
year's budgeting process as
well as several investment
possibilities. The money
market and different invest-
ment ideas were discussed at
the Rep meeting. A committee
will bring more definite infor-
mation about interest rates
and other details to our next
meeting. Because this article
is written a week in advance, I
can't tell you Rep's decision, if
any will be made, but I am ex-
cited to tell you how en-
thusiastically and open-
mindedly the board con-
sidered these ideas. The in-
terest from this investment
would allow us several options
in setting next year's budget.
We could incorporate it im-
mediately into our organiza-
tions' tight budgets, consider
it an "emergency fund" in

case of any overspending, or
possibly create a new fund
which could be used for travel
expenses to various con-
ferences or other oppor-
tunities that we have
disregarded in the past due to
our lack of funds. Come to the
meeting and bring your ideas.

And where does Mortar
Board come in this economic
discussion? Consider all of
the exciting Black Cat
festivities. Utilizing the unique
factors of production available
on this campus, Mortar Board
organized the events of this
unforgettable celebration
but it was you, the students
and members of the ASC com-
munity, who made it such a
profitable endeavor. You com-
bined your time, creativity,
talents and dedication to tradi-
tion to make Black Cat '82 a
success! The demand for
entertainment outside the
classroom for both students
and faculty was satisfied. The
supply of athletic competition,
class spirit, sister class loyal-
ty, and respect for tradition
was just enough to promote an
exciting spirit of unity
throughout the entire campus
community. Do the lingering
smiles a. id unforgettable
memories account for the
long-lasting utility of these
events?

And what about my daddy?
No, I won't depress you by
discussing my personal
economic status . . . Like each
of you, I just want to thank the
one responsible for affording
me the priceless benefits of a
women's liberal arts college
such as Agnes Scott. I'll
graduate (?!) with a degree in
psychology, but I've learned so
much more. And today, to get
MORE than your money's
worth is rare indeed!

Have Breakfast with the President

President Ruth Schmidt in-
vites students to have
breakfast with her on four
Thursdays during the fall term.
Anyone who wishes to have an
opportunity to talk with the
President at breakfast is in-
vited to sign up in the Presi-
dent's Office in Buttrick by
noon of the Tuesday of the
week you wish to attend.

Up to eleven students may
sign up for each of the follow-
ing Thursday mornings:

October 21
October 28
November 8
November 1 1

The opportunity is on a first-
to-sign-up basis, but if this op-
portunity to talk with the Presi-

dent proves to be useful, she
will be happy to continue
these breakfasts in the winter
term. Students may go
through the line and bring
their breakfasts into the Presi-
dent's Dining Room. The Presi-
dent will be there between 7:45
and 8:30, and students are in-
vited to join her no later than 8
a.m.

GSA Suggests Out of State
Students Vote Absentee

by Helen Stacey

Did you know that only eight
percent of all students vote?
Unfortunately, this appalling
statistic is well documented.
In all probability, many
students think that voting
while off at school is simply
too great an inconvenience.
This, however, is untrue. Ob-
taining an absentee ballot is a
very simple, quick procedure.

The Georgia Student

Association's Voter Registra-
tion Guide outlines the steps
to take in order to receive an
absentee ballot. Students
must send a notice to their
home election offices re-
questing an absentee ballot.
The note should include the
person's name, home address,
reason for requesting the
ballot (i.e. away at school), the
location to which the ballot is
to be mailed, voter registration
number (if available), and

signature.

If the student is a resident
of Georgia, the request should
also indicate her birthday and
her mother's maiden name. A
close relation is permitted to
request that an absentee
ballot be sent to someone who
is out of the election district
on election day. Students
desiring to vote in the
November 2 elections should
request absentee ballots im-
mediately.

Report Finds Co-ed Class Climate for Women is Generally Chilly

Women students generally
find the college classroom a
more hostile place and thus
emerge from college with
lower self-esteem and ambi-
tions than male students
do, a new report from the Pro-
ject on the Status and Educa-
tion of Women suggests.

The report, drawn from a
compilation of surveys,
studies and other research,
says faculty members subtly
discomfort their female
students by using sexist
humor in class, by addressing
classes as if no women were
present, by being less likely to
call on women in class, by in-
terrupting female students
more often, and other in-

stances of seemingly-
inconsequential behavior.

Teachers, says report
author Roberta Hall, "may not
realize that what may seem
like trivial kinds of things may-
be very upsetting to women
students."

"While women tend to get
higher grades than men, the
climate they find in class in-
fluences how they come out of
college with markedly lower
self confidence," Hall points
out.

Lower self confidence, in
turn, can fundamentally alter
the value of education to
women, adds group director
Bernice Sandler.

"Looking beyond the im-

mediate classroom setting,
women's career choices are
often narrowed, and women's
ability to work tegether as
equals both in school and
in the workplace may be
undermined by an in-
hospitable college learning
climate," Sandler said in a
prepared statement released
with the report.

Classrooms are made in-
hospitable, the report sug-
gests, by faculty behavior
tendencies that, according to
empirical studies, range from
calling on women less fre-
quently to making less eye
contact to, as Hall puts it, "us-
ing stories that have all the
doctors and lawyers as men,

and the client is always
'she'."

Because such behavior
might seem minor, Hall is
"sure there will be individual
faculty (members) who won't
take the problem seriously."

But she adds the project of-
fice has "been overwhelmed in
some instances" by requests
from campuses for bulk orders
of the report.

"As far as I know, that's
never happened here before,"
she says.

The report offers ad-
ministrators, faculty members
and student groups guidelines
for solving the problem.

"Guidelines," Hall says,
"are a first step. They raise the

awareness of people who may
not even realize that those
kinds of behavior might be a
problem."

"Many people had felt that
with the passage of Title IX (of
the Higher Education Amend-
ments of 1972, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of
gender), that women's pro-
blems were taken care of,"
Hall says. "But it was ap-
parent that certain actions,
while not illegal, were causing
problems in the way students
were treated."

Since the offending
behavior "more often than not
is unconscious," Hall thinks
colleges will be receptive to
adopting some of the
guidelines.

In The News

by Mary Morder

Seven people in the Chicago
area have died after taking
Extra-Strength Tylenol cap-
sules, a popular aspirin
substitute. The capsules had
been tampered with and filled
with cyanide. The con-
taminated capsules were in
several batches of 50 capsule
bottles. The Tylenol tablets
are considered safe, but the
Food and Drug Administration
recommends that consumers
stop taking all extra-strength
Tylenol capsules. The deaths
from cyanide poisoning have
so far been confined to the
Chicago area.

In Washington, the House
failed to pass a Senate-
approved ' constitutional
amendment that would have
required a balanced Federal
budget, except in periods of
war or economic recession.
The bill failed by a 263-187
margin and marks another ma-
jor economic defeat for Presi-
dent Reagan. The President
called to the American people
"to count heads and take
names" of those House
members who voted against
the amendment. Congress
plans to consider the bill again
in the spring.

On Fri, Oct. 1 the Epcot
Center, a $1 billion "Ex-
perimental Prototype Com-
munity of Tomorrow," opened
within Walt Disney World. The
opening was extravagant, with
25,000 spectators and media
coverage from all over the
world. Epcot is an adult-
oriented experiment in
futurisitic living and
technology.

Congress gave last-minute
approval to a compromise

spending bill intended to ex-
tend the federal budget into
the new fiscal year, which
began Oct. 1. This interim
measure will last until
Decmeber 17, when Congress
must decide the fate of the
regular spending bills. Enclos-
ed in the emergency measure
are funds which will allow the
Dept. of Defence to award a
contract to Lockheed-Georgia
to start production of the C-5B
cargo plane.

The Atlanta Braves are in a
tight race with the Los
Angeles Dodgers for sole
possession of first place and
the title. Atlanta beat San
Diego 3-2 in a close contest
led by pitcher Phil Niekro on
Oct. 2. The Braves lost the Oct.
3 game to San Diego (5-1), but
San Francisco (5-2) the Braves
won the National League West
title.

In international news, West
Germany's Social Democrat
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt
was replaced by Helmut Kohl,
a conservative who sides with
America against the Soviet
Union. A surprising parliamen-
tary vote opted for Kohl, the
leader of West Germany's
Christian Democrats. Kohl will
become the sixth and
youngest chancellor of West
Germany. Schmidt was ousted
in midterm, after serving eight-
and-a-half years. Schmidt's
coalition government collap-
sed in mid-September when
the first Democrats withdrew
their support from an
economic policy. The Free
Democrats then joined with
the Christian Democrats to
oust Schmidt.

Speaker Discusses Raising Nonsexist Children

Psychologist Sandra Lipsitz
Bern of Cornell University will
speak Thursday, Oct. 14, at
Agnes Scott on strategies for
raising nonsexist children and
for attaining egalitarian part-
nerships between men and
women. Her talk is at 8:30 p.m.
in the Buttrick Hall Film Room.

Dr. Bern believes that
"behind the public revolution
in American sex roles lies an
even more dramatic transfor-
mation in the psychology and
politics of the family." In her
lecture, titled "Revolution
Begins at Home: Egalitarian
Couples and Gender-Liberated
Child-rearing," she looks at
the assumptions behind per-
sonal relationships between
men and women, then sug-
gests ways of achieving

equality in partnerships and
approaches to raising nonsex-
ist children.

Dr. Bern is professor of
psychology and director of
women's studies at Cornell.
With a grant from the National
Science Foundation, she has
recently conducted research
on sex typing and androgyny.
With an earlier grant from the
National Institute of Mental
Health she studied sex roles
and the behavioral conse-
quences of androgyny.

This research on sex roles
and androgyny has brought
her honors from her profes-
sional colleagues including
the 1976 Distinguished Scien-
tific Award for an Early Career
Contribution to Psychology

from the American
Psychological Association.
She received the Distinguish-
ed Publication Award in 1977
from the Association for
Women in Psychology and the
Young Scholar Award in 1980
from the American Associa-
tion of University Women. She
was the subject of the cover
story, "Professing
Androgyny," in the October,
1977 issue of the journal,
Human Behavior.

Dr. Bern earned her B.A. in
psychology at Carnegie-
Mellon University, Pittsburgh,
Pa., and her Ph.D. in
developmental psychology
from the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.

Beverly Lorig: A New Face at CPO

by Mary Morder

Among the important and
exciting changes made at ASC
this year is the appointment of
Beverly Lorig as the new assis-
tant director of the Career
Planning Office.

Ms. Lorig is from Albany,
Georgia where she attended a
junior college. She completed
her undergraduate degree in
psychology at Georgia
Southwestern College in 1977.
Her first full-time job was as a
social worker at a psycho-
educational school working
with children with severe emo-
tional and behavioral
disorders. She enjoyed her
year spent in this position
because she liked working
with disabled children and
dealing with people from many
socioeconomic levels she
said.

She also married in 1977.
When her husband was
accepted into the graduate
program in psychology at the
University of Georgia, they
moved to Athens. Ms. Lorig ac-
cepted a secretarial position
at the UGA Career Planning
Office in 1978 and was soon

Education in June, 1982. This
degree involves skills in stu-
dent services, administation
and counseling for all types of
students. While she was in
graduate school, she serv-
ed on the judicial board, an
organization similar to our
Honor Court.

Ms. Lorig began in her posi-
tion at ASC in June, and she
and her husband recently mov-
ed into a campus house. She
said she loves the Atlanta area
and enjoys working at CPO.

Commenting in her initial
impressions of Agnes Scott,
She remarked. "Mv experience
here so far has been very
positive ... I find that address-
ing women's issues comes

naturally in this environment. I
think the environment is very
rich for exploring oppor-
tunities for women, both in
careers and in general
lifestyles."

Ms. Lorig hopes to expand
upon and improve CPO ser-
vices, especially in the area of
student internships. She is In
the process of gathering more
information on the variety of
internships offered in other
parts of the country during the
summer. She also looks for-
ward to working with the direc-
tor and planning programs to
meet the changing needs of
students.

Beverly Lorig is the new Assostant Director at CPO.

Francoise Est Francaise

promoted to a position in the
recruiting office where she
coordinated all on-campus
recruiting. This job also in-
cluded career counseling,

several hundred students.

Ms. Lorig considered return-
ing to the psychology field, but

she found that she enjoyed her
work at UGA so much that she
wanted to continue working in
the area of career planning,
financial aid or admissions.

Francoise Picaronny

Francoise, who hails most
recently from Paris, is the
French Department's new
assistant. She attended
school at Paris 3, a part of
Paris Universite.

This is not her first job in
America. She worked as a
French Assistant at a high
school near Charlotte, NC,
several years ago.

Francoise found out about
the job here at Agnes Scott at
her school in Paris. She saw a
notice concerning two French

Assistant jobs on a bulletin
board. One of the reasons she
chose Agnes Scott over the
other school was because she
had met some Agnes Scott
students at a foreign language
contest at Clemson that she
attended while she was work-
ing in North Carolina.

Besides teaching a class in
French conversation, Fran-
coise also takes two classes,
Political Science and Spanish.
Some of her other duties as
French Assistant include judg-
ing en upcoming foreign
language contest and putting
together a play for the contest
at Clemson this year.

Francoise lives on the
French Hall, located on third
Walters. The purpose of the
hall is to enable students who
are interested in French to
speak it outside of the
classroom. "They are suppos-
ed to speak French all the
time, even when I am not
around," says Francoise.

There is also a French table
in the dining hall, and Fran-
coise invites anyone who is in-
terested to come and eat
lunch at the table. She is
usually there from about noon
until 1:30 p.m. during the week.

Providence, R.I. (LP.) - A
recently completed survey of
the jobs accepted by seniors
at Brown University shows
that liberal arts majors are get-
ting hired at a rate higher than
is generally thought, accor-
ding to Vickie Ball, director of
Career Planning Services here.
The survey is different from
some others which ask
graduating seniors what job
offers they have received, says
Ball.

She said those surveys are
misleading since one student
might receive nine job offers,
while nine other students
receive none; the survey ends

up reporting that there are
enough jobs for everyone.
Also, she pointed out that
those surveys are completed
prior to graduation, while
many and maybe most
graduates aren't hired until
after graduation.

The survey is the first of its
kind at Brown and Ball said
she feels it belies the idea that
liberal arts majors are not be-
ing hired in today's tight job
market. Liberal arts graduates
are hired by small companies
which don't have a recruiting
budget ("55 percent of the

glamour businesses such as

Ball points out that the
heaviest hiring month is
September, long after seniors
are gone and job surveys have
been completed. The survey
does not break down the
figures in terms of percen-
tages, something that Ball
said she did deliberately not to
confuse the issue.

One reason she embarked
on the survey is "because it's
valuable to me to see the kinds
of offers broken down by the
students' concentration. "This
will be valuable for the in-
dividual departments, most of
which don't know where their
students go after graduation,"
she says. "It will help pro-
fessors answer questions
such as, 'What can I do with a
degree in comparative lit?' "

Students Intern at Observatories

by Angela Scott

Marty
Wooldridge

Marty Wooldridge interned
on Nantucket Island, Mass.
this summer with the island
observatory sponsored by the
Maria Mitchell Association.
She spent 10 weeks working
on projects such as keeping
the running photographic
plate collection and doing ex-
perimental work.

Often the job required a 21
hour work day with half the
day spent at the desk, and
then a night of observing and
taking photographs. Marty
was responsible for measur-
ing the pulsation of stars such
as U-1954 Sagittarius which
has a period of six days from
minimum to maximum
brightness.

Marty's discovering includ-
ed rediscovering an asteroid
on a photographic plate, stu-
dying the emulsions for hyper-
sensitizing photographic
plates, and even catching the
unusual sight of an Aurora

Boralis and a comet. At the
end of her summer, she wrote
a paper on her internship ex-
periences to be published in
an amateur Journal of
American Variations Star
observers.

Besides all of her star work,-
she spent weekends shopping,
going to the beach and eating
at the great seafood
restaurants. Other discoveries
besides stars include Quahog,
a large clam which Marty says
is delicious. Living with four
other girls from various col-
leges, Marty found the living
arrangements a little crowded
since they shared one bath
and bedroom. However, she
enjoyed swapping stories and
sharing interests.

Marty worked under Dr.
Amelia Belserene who does
research with Harvard for six
months of each year and then
returns to the island obser-
vatory. Six other students in-
terned at the observatory
which received funding from
the National Science Founda-
tion for the students work.

Marty found Nantucket a
quaint, yet crowded, tourist

town which receives about
65,000 tourists a year. She lov-
ed the work and said she
hopes to pursue a career in the
experimental work of
Astronomy after Agnes Scott.

Susanna
Michelson

Susanna Michelson, a junior
this year, had the opportunity
of working at an observatory
this summer in Richland,
Washington. Susanna, who is
a physics-astronomy major,
spent 10 weeks working for
the Battelle Corporation which
provides atmospheric
research for government and
businesses.

The observatory is about 20
miles outside the town of
Richland. It is located on top
of the 3000 foot Rattlesnake
Mtn. Several top professionals
run the observatory where
research and testing is com-
pleted on the terrestial at-
mosphere.

Susanna worked on two
assignments. The first was an
atmospheric turbidity project,

Susanna and her friend, Faith, visited Mt. Ranier in July.

in which she measured diurnal
(day to night) and spatial
(across parts of the sky) varia-
tions in turbidity by measuring
starlight with a telescope.
Secondly, she worked on a
solar data project in which
data was collected and analyz-
ed to discover why very small,
but measurable fluctuations in
the solar data were occurring.
Susanne discovered the pro-
blems of most scientists.
Small, unexpected problems
often crop up in putting theory
into practice. Susanna said,
"Science can be frustrating."

Even with this research

work, she found time to enjoy
the countryside and traveled
to Seattle and surrounding
cities. With the other 50
students in the program, she
enjoyed rafting down the Col-
umbia River, bike riding, and
partying on the weekends. On
July 4th, they went to Mt.
Ranier, which was under five
feet of snow.

Susanna said she
thoroughly enjoyed her intern-

ASC Rep Attends Convention

by Elisabeth Smith

Susan Whitten, president of
the ASC Mortar Board, spent
several days at the Mortar
Board Convention in
Nashville, Tennessee in July.
Since Mortar Board is a na-
tional organization, business
is conducted at such con-
ferences which meet every
three years. One delegate from

Which One is the "One to Wear"?

Competition between
designer labels has been go-
ing on for a couple of years.
Flipping through any
magazine geared towards
fashion, you'll see page after
page of designer brands
touting themselves as the
"one to wear."

But now a different kind of
battle is beginning to take
shape. It's the battle of the
alligator versus the polo
player.

The alligators have been
around for over 30 years. Rene
Lacoste, a French tennis
champion of the 20's, was the
inspiration for the original
Lacoste shirt with the funny
green alligator on the front.
The shirts caught on in the
U.S. among the golfing and
country club set. Many male
golfers really appreciated the
extra long tail on the shirt, and
the comfortable fit.

But it's the preppy trend
that really got everyone buying
Izods. Having a closetful of
alligators in every color in the
rainbow was every preppy's
goal.

The Preppy look is still "in"
at most colleges and univer-
sities, but the alligator is be-
ing challenged by the polo
player. And Ralph Lauren's
polo player is really beating
out the alligator on the cash
register.

The polo players cost more
than the Izod Lacoste shirts.

each chapter of Mortar Board
attends the convention; tradi-
tionally the president goes.

The convention met from Ju-
ly 18 to August 1 at the
Radisson Hotel. The entire trip
was paid for by Mortar Board,
Incorporated. About 100
delegates met along with the
National Council, the group
overseeing all operations of
Mortar Board, Inc. and made
up of Mortar Board alumnae.

The delegates kept very
busy during their stay in
Nashville. There were
workshops and small group
meetings concerning various
aspects of Mortar Board held
during the day. Some of the
topics discussed were stress
management, image and
visibility, and election by con-
sensus. Susan says that she
got some good ideas at these
meetings for things that the
ASC Mortar Board can do for
the campus and the communi-
ty. Susan was involved in a
day-long discussion of the
constitution and by-laws.

which she said was important
because the next opportuity to
make revisions won't be until
the next convention in three
years. At night there was plen-
ty of time for socializing and
meeting people. The last night
there was a candlelight ban-
quet at which Shirley Mount
Hufstedler was awarded the
1982 Citation Award. Ms.
Hufstedler was the U.S.
Secretary of Education under
President Carter. She spoke
on "Educating America's
Women".

Susan came back to ASC
very enthused after the con-
vention. She said, "I wish that
every Mortar Board member
could have gone ... I learned a
lot about the whole sturcture
of Mortar Board. It means a lot
more to me." She stressed the
uniqueness of Mortar Board; it
was founded as an honorary
society for women and still
promotes the status of women
even though men were admit-
ted beginning in 1975.

Does the Khaki help?

Preps for Rent is still a
booming business in
Louisville, Ky. Michael Raus
started the business last sum-
mer,' and business went so
well that he is now franchising
his operation and selling it for
$350.

Preps for Rent consists of
preppy-minded and, of course,
preppy-dressed students who

do odd jobs for hourly fees.
They do yard work, cleaning,
painting houses, and much
more, decked out in their khaki
Bermuda shorts and Top-
siders.

Michael has now returned to
college to start a Preps for
Rent there, while his brother
continues managing the
Louisville business.

Atlanta Civic Opera Studio
Presents "77?e Impresario"

The Atlanta Civic Opera
Studio will present The Im-
presario Wed., Oct. 20 from
11:30 a.m. -12 p.m. in Gaines.

The Impresario is a comedy
with music in one act. It was
written and first performed at
a party given by the Emperor
Josef II at Schonbrunn (Vien-
na), February 7, 1786, and per-
formed for the public at the
Karntnertor Theater of Vienna
the same month on the 18th
and 25th.

The original cast included
two of the most distinguished
sopranos of the day, Mozart's
sister-in-law Aloysia Lange
and Katharina Cavalieri. The
first American production in
English was given in New
York, October 16, 1916, by the
Society of American Singers
at the Empire Theater.

Mozart, when he received
the commission to compose
the music for Der
Schauspieldirektor, was

already at work on the score of
The Marriage of Figaro, which
was produced the same year.
Supposedly, within two and a
half weeks between
January 18 and February 3,
1786 Mozart composed and
scored the work. There are on-
ly five musical numbers in the
score of the one-act comedy,
but two of them, at least, are
as treasurable as many of the
thirty in Figaro. These are the
buffo-style overture and the
comedy trio, in which the two
sopranos try to out-coloratura
each other while the tenor
tries to calm them down.

The story deals with the
troubles of an impresario due
to the jealousy of prima don-
nas. The characters of the
opera are the Impresario (or
Mr. Cash), Madame Herz (or
Madame Goldentrill), and
Mademoiselle Silberklang (or
Mademoiselle Warblewell).

Hockey Team Goes on the Road

by Laura Feese

The ASC field hockey team
traveled to Sewanee, TN on
October 1-2 to compete in its
only intercollegiate competi-
tion of the season. Par-
ticipants in this tournament in-
cluded the host team (the
University of the South),
Vanderbilt University, Centre
College of Kentucky, and the
Georgia Club.

The ASC team played
Sewanee Friday afternoon and
Centre and Vandy on Saturday
morning. Although the ASC
team was not victorious in any
of these matches, Coach Kate

McKemie was encouraged b>
a marked improvement in each
game.

The match with Centre, by
far ASC's best showing, was
an extremely hard fought and
close competition, with Centre
managing to score only one
goal against the Scotties.
Depiste the losing record, the
trip was considered a success
by all, since everyone played
to the best of their abilities
and enjoyed themselves at the
same time.

The ASC team members
traveling to Sewanee included
seniors Amy Potts, Amy Little,

Thou shalt not heed thy feet's insistence

Thou shalt not rile thy neighbors' dogs

Come wind or snow,

Thou still must getteth

thine act together.

Whilst jogging near an ice-cream shoppe,
Remember well thou shalt not stoppe.

It matters not

how much thou jog.
Thou must not eateth

like a hog.

Dress modestly from hood to sneakers,
So thou wonst be confused with streakers.

Mindeth. not

Thou shalt not tease nor lecture smugly
Those whose clothes still fit too snugly.

Thou shalt not sag

AA Pres. Potts Urges Involvement

by Lisa Reichard

Athletic Association has
field hockey, swimming,
basketball, and much more in
store for students this year.

just want to take a study
break.

The ASC tennis team will be

competing against Emory,
Tech, Brenau, and Kennesaw

Basketball and swimming
competitions between the

see everybody involved. "It is

up to the student body to
determine how the year will
go," she said.

Along with the supervision
of competitive sports, AA is in
charge of the bike-borrowing
in the gym. The association is
in charge of the ping-pong
paddles and the pool table in
the Hub.

By the way, students can

'83, '84 Capture Black Kitty

by Angela Scott

Black Cat weekend at
Agnes Scott is an annual
event which unifies the
classes and celebrates the
end of freshman orientation.
The Black Cat weekend includ-
ed a bonfire and song competi-
tion, games, a picnic, the
Black Cat production, and the
Black Cat formal.

Each time that Black Cat
comes around, there is an all-
out 'war' between the
sophomores and freshmen.
Sophomores try to guess the
freshman mascot using any
tactics they can. Warfare this
year included shaving cream
ammunition, papering over
doors, panty raids, throwing
freshmen into the pond, and
kidnapping goldfish for ran-
som. Even sophomore Presi-
dent Bradie Barr was kidnap-
ped by the unyielding
freshmen. When at last the
sophomores knew the famed

mascot was the Scottish
Highlanders, they showed
their secret intelligence by
wearing plaid and playing
bagpipe music. To ease the
pain from mascot discovery,
sophomores made doughnut
runs for the freshmen.

The first of the events of
Black Cat is the bonfire and
song competition. Susan Whit-
ten, President of Mortar Board
and master of ceremonies, in-
troduced each class as they
sang their Sister Class song
and mascot song for competi-
tion. Songs are judged on
ability and originality. Faculty
judges for this and other
events were Mr. Robert Hyde,
Mr. Arthur L. Bowling, Jr., Mrs.
Mary Bumgarner, Mrs. Pat
Pinka, and Mrs. Katherine A.
Brewer.

Games were held Friday in
the gym. Competition was be-
tween classes as they egg

tossed, changed clothes in a
sleeping bag, and 'snaked.'
The Scouts, Sailors, Butch
Cassidys, and Highlanders
were in full force to cheer each
other to victory. A picnic spon-
sored by the senior class

For more Black Kitties, see
pages 4 and 5.

followed the games which the
campus community attended.

Black Cat Production was
presented by the junior class
as a gift to the freshmen. This
year's production, "Aggie,"
was a take-off on the original

"Annie." Julie Norton started
writing the production last spr-
ing, helped by Fran Ivey and
Sue Mason. Beth Finklea and
Carol Jones coordinated the
words to the songs. Casting
was this fall, including
members from the sophomore,
junior and senior class. Diane
Rickett, playing "Aggie," was
the star of the show about life
at Agnes Scott. Highlights of
the show included the presen-
tation of the Board Chair-
women. Other "Aggie"
highlights were the songs,
such as "You're Never Fully
Dressed Without Your
Sweats" and the appearance
of President Schmidt. Roses
were presented to Miriam Gar-
rett, Carla Eidson, Frances
Harrell, and Charlotte Birch for
their work on the production.

The winners of class com-
petition were announced after
the production. Games - 1st
'84; 2nd - '85; 3rd - '86. Decora-

tions - 1st - '83; 2nd - '84; 3rd -
'85. The Big Sister song com-
petition - 1st - '83; 2nd - '84; 3rd
- '85. General Class Spirit - 1st -
'83; 2nd - '84; 3rd - '85. The
overall Black Kitty award was
tied between seniors and
juniors. However, the juniors
decided to give the award to
the seniors as Julie Norton
stated, "We think they deserve
it . . . and we have one more
year."

The culmination of Black
Cat at Agnes Scott is the an-
nual formal dance. This year
Black Tie was requested. At-
tendance was large to hear
Lloyd Henson and the
Highlanders at the Peachtree
Plaza.

Bradie Barr said, "During
Black Cat this year our class
became more unified. Many
members of the class par-
ticipated in the events and
helped her fellow
classmates."

Alumna Named
Outstanding Teacher

by Kimberley Kennedy

Agnes Scott alumna Dr.
Nancy C. Edwards was the re-
cent recipient of this year's
NCNB award for Teaching Ex-
cellence at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte.
She, along with colleague Dr.
Robert Coleman, were
nominated by students, alum-
ni, and faculty as this year's
outstanding teachers. A panel
of former recipients chose the
winners who each received a
cash grant of $1,000.

Dr. Edwards was director of
publicity at Agnes Scott after
graduation. She says she en-
joyed the experience but "it

wasn't right for me." She then
returned to the classroom to
do her graduate work at the
University of NC at Chapel Hill
where she received M.A. and
Ph.D. degrees in biology.

Her special field of interest
is marine embryology, the ear-
ly developmental stages of
certain animals that live in the
ocean. Dr. Edwards says, "I
am doing what I most want to
do in life."

Dr. Edwards says her ap-
proach to teaching is "try to
have students discover the
essential elements of biology
as if they were the first to
discover them."

In Charlotte, Dr. Edwards is
president of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association.

by Susan Whitten

Recently 280 alumnae en-
thusiastically welcomed Presi-
dent Ruth Scmidt at the Atlan-
ta Agnes Scott Alumnae Club
meeting. Alumnae attending
this luncheon at the Piedmond
Driving Club were from Atlan-
ta, DeKalb County and Cobb
County. A number of out-of-
town alumnae were also pre-
sent.

After President Schmidt
received a standing welcome,
she began with an anecdote.
Recently when flying back to
Atlanta, a man on the plane
asked if she were a native of
Atlanta. When he learned she
is not, he advised her "for
culture, go to Agnes Scott Col-
lege."

She continued by express-
ing how pleased she is to be at
Agnes Scott. President
Schmidt explained that she
does not have any "grand
design" to change Agnes
Scott, but rather for now, she
said "I'm going to allow
myself the luxury of getting to
know the place."

As a women's college,
Agnes Scott already reaffirms
one of her views on education.
Yet, President Schmidt
believes while all colleges,
and especially those for
women, must keep women's
aspirations high, they also
must "build some sense of
reality" about the women's
positions in society. For "one
of the missions for us as a

society is to figure out the
organization of work and nur-
turing that will be suitable for
the future." Finally she left the
group with the idea of the
challenge for society to begin
to live up to its rhetoric about
this organization and nurtur-
ing.

According to Jean Smith,
Associate Director of Alum-
nae, "this is always the big-
gest event of the year"
because along with much
visiting, "we always have an
excellent speaker." This year
was no exception. "The alum-
nae were very impressed with
President Schmidt and
thought her to be especially
attracive and articulate," said
Mrs. Smith.

"Americana" Concert to
Salute American Composers

Songs about the South,
songs for the poetry of Robert
Frost and Emily Dickinson and
songs by a signer of the
Declaration of Independence
will be performed Tuesday,
Oct. 19, at Agnes Scott.

Soprano Jean Lemonds and
pianist Jay Fuller of the music
department will present
"Americana," a concert of
works by 19th and 20th-
century American composers.
Concert time is 8:15 p.m. Tues-
day in Presser Hall.

For the Americana program,
Lemonds and Fuller will per-
form songs by Aaron Copland,
Stephen Foster, Elliott Carter,
Charles Ives, Francis Hopkin-
son, Richard Hageman, John
Alden Carpenter and others.
Fuller will also perform "Piano
Sonata No. 4, Op. 61 (The
Keltic)" by Edward Mac-
Dowell, a late 19th-century
composer who drew inspira-
tion from Norse, Celtic and
English legends.

Composer Francis Hopkin-

son, who signed the Declara-
tion of Independence, was
America's first native poet-
composer. Stephen Foster's
pre-Civil War songs about the
South have become part of
America's popular music tradi-
tion.

Aaron Copland, known for
his ballet music, has written
songs for the poetry of Emily
Dickinson, and Elliott Carter,
who won Pulitzer prizes for
string quartets in 1960 and

1973, has written songs for the
poetry of Robert Frost.

Charles Ives, known for
compositional techniques far
ahead of his time, wrote music
inspired by American life, as
did John Alden Carpenter, who
wrote of urban subjects, often
with jazz rhythms. Richard
Hageman, who at one time
was on the conducting staff of
the Metropolitan Opera, com-
posed film music for
Hollywood.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

by Laurie McBrayer

Apathy at a small college
can be dangerous. A college
like Agnes Scott can only
thrive if students, faculty and
staff show a high level of con-
cern and interest in their cam-
pus.

An unwritten theory that
non-mandatory college events
are not worth attending seems
to prevail on this campus. Low
attendance at lecture events
and most recently at the Presi-
dent's Convocation, indicates
that this theory is widespread.

Only 13 students and 20
members of faculty / staff at-
tended President Ruth
Schmidt's convocation on Oc-

tober 6. Not onlv are these
numbers shocking, but they
are embarrassing. The time for
convocation, 11:30 a.m. - 12
p.m. on Wednesday was
selected because it is a time
when no classes meet. Thus,
everyone should take the time
and minimum effort required
to attend these meetings.
Students who opt instead to
check their mailboxes, visit
the bookstore, or line up for
lunch (is it worth it?) are miss-
ing an opportunity to learn.

What is especially dismay-
ing about the low attendance
at this particular event is that
the President took time from
her busy schedule to com-
municate with the campus,

and so few people made the
effort to attend. Because this
year is Dr. Schmidt's first year
at Agnes Scott, we all should
support her in every way possi-
ble. I do not think that the low
attendance reflects the real
way the campus community
regards its new President.

In her speech, President
Schmidt indicated her great
respect for students of the
past, present, and future and
for the faculty and staff of
ASC. In her short time here she
has already gained a great
deal of knowledge about the
college and always issues her
concerns and her gratitude.

Let's not disappoint her.

Communication. It's not
always easy, but it's not im-
possible. HOW do you find out
WHO to ask about WHERE
you should go WHEN you
need to know WHY . . .?? Rep
Council would like to remind
you that ASC has a very work-
ing communications system
if you know how to use it.

According to Webster, com-
munications is a "process by
which information is exchang-
ed between individuals
through a common system of
symbols, signs or behavior."
There are several channels of
communication throughout
this campus which help to
keep us informed. We simply
need to utilize our resources.
For instance, Rep Council in-
vites each of you to attend our
weekly meetings where we
can exchange ideas and infor-
mation. If you don't come to
the meetings, you can read
what happened in the minutes
which are posted in each dor-
mitory, in the Hub, and on the
Rep bulletin board near the
Post Office. If you don't read
the minutes you can listen to
your representatives' reports

To the Parents

Thank you so much for
subscribing to the Agnes
Scott weekly newspaper. Your
support allows us to imple-
ment special techniques such
as the use of color ink in this
issue. At this time, we are
unable to send the papers first
class. We were able to obtain
a special bulk rate permit.
Walton Press is handling our
circulation and postage and
continues to add names of

ed system. I hope you have not
waited too long to receive your

at class or dormitory
meetings. If you don't go to
these meetings either, you can
read this article or try dialing
EXT. 385 to find out what Rep
is doing. And I'm not the only
one who is always ready to
talk about Rep. Ask your
representatives on which com-
mittees they serve and what
they are doing. Find out how
Rep is investing our savings
and what we intend to do with
it in the future. Ask her about
the recent Georgia Students
Association (GSA) Con-
ference. Offer your ideas for a
special winter project. Or if
you don't like to talk, you can
always write your opinions or
questions and place them in
Catalyst Committee's "Sug-
gestion Box." There are many
options, but you must
remember that communica-
tions is a two-way street.

I've mentioned only one
system of communication that
serves our community. What
about communications bet-
ween student organizations?
Or on another level, how do
students communicate with
the faculty and administra-
tion? Do the faculty and ad-
ministration communicate
well? I urge each of you to
evaluate the different means
of communication that affect
you most on campus. Try to
strengthen these lines of com-
munication and to improve
them. To communicate effec-
tively there must be an ex-
change of ideas or informa-
tion. You are responsible for
your part of the system.
Though somewhat com-
plicated at times, there are
many ways for you to get the
information that you need.
Just take the initiative.

Two Paycheck Household
Becoming a Necessity

Modern Dancer May O'Donnell
to Teach Master Class

by Kimberley Kennedy

The day has arrived when
maintaining a job outside the
home for women is a necessity
more than a hobby. We're liv-
ing in the day of the two-
paycheck household where
responsibility for the extra in-
come and care for the
household falls on the woman.

Recently Better Homes and
Gardens magazine conducted
a survey on the effect of work
on middle income American
families.

The study indicates that 54
percent of working wives like
their outside jobs as com-
pared to only 7 percent who do
not.

Even so, 57 percent of the
working men and women said

they sometimes envy the life
of a homemaker. "What I really
need is a wife," said some
women.

More than 4,000 attached
personal letters to the ques-
tionnaire with varied
responses ranging from con-
tentment to frustration.

"Work is a refuge when
home problems exasperate,
and home is a neat place to go
when none of my bosses
understand what a unique and
wonderful person I am," one
working wife wrote. "It is good
to have both."

Another wrote, "I find hav-
ing two full-time jobs one at
the office, one as a housewife
is unrewarding, frustrating,
guilt-producing, and leaves me
with a feeling of being 'trap-
ped'".

Middle class working wives
still see themselves as respon-
sible for housework, cooking,
an'd child care regardless of
how many hours they work
away from home.

One wife who operates an
in-home child care center said
her husband refuses to help in
the house and tells her to quit
her work if she can't handle it
"but oh, how he likes my
paycheck."

Another homemaker has
successfully combined the
demands of daily challenges
and routines. "I want to be
able to pass on the skills of
loving child care, home
management, canning, and
sewing to the next generation,
for they may need them more
than I do."

May O'Donnell, "one of the
fundamental creative forces in
American modern dance," will
teach a master class Tuesday,
Oct. 19, at Agnes Scott. Class
will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
in the gym. Admission is $6 to
take class or $3 to observe.

Ms. O'Donnell began her
professional dance career as a
soloist with the Martha
Graham Dance Company in
the early thirties. After World
War II, she set about training
the next generation of young
dancers and choreographers.
Among them were Robert Jof-
frey, Gerald Arpino, Norman
Walker and Dudley Williams.

Active as a choreographer
and dancer during this time,
Ms. O'Connell formed her first

dance company in 1952 and
quickly established her reputa-
tion in New York City as an ar-
tist of the first rank. Unfor-
tunately, in 1962 she had to
disband the company for lack
of funds and return to
teaching.

In 1974 Ms. O'Donnell form-
ed her current company, which
has earned enthusiastic
praise from the critics. Her
choreography and her com-
pany were selected, along with
choreographers Twyla Tharp
and George Balanchine, by
CBS Cable television to repre-
sent dance in a series of
special programs. As one New
York critic said recently, "May
O'Donnell deserves to be
ranked with the best of them."

ERT Hosts First Atlanta Executives

by Betsy Benning

Executive Round Table, an
on-campus organ ization
created to promote a
cooperative relationship be-
tween Agnes Scott students
and the business community,
had its first meeting of the
year on Wednesday, October
6. Members of the club met in
the Faculty Dining Room to
participate in a panel discus-
sion with three employees of
First Atlanta Bank.

Included in the discussion
were Emily Richards, Vice
President of Finance and

Treasurer of the First Atlanta
Mortgage Company; Lynn Bat-
tle, Vice President of Com-
munity Bank and Commercial
Lending; and Lisa Menandez,
a personnel officer with the
bank.

The panel discussion for-
mat not only gave the women
a chance to present different
facets of their own careers,
but also allowed the students
to ask the women questions
concerning their managerial
and executive experiences at
the bank. Students concerned
with the applicability of a
liberal arts education in the

business world, seemed pleas-
ed to learn that Ms. Battle ma-
jored in English and
Psychology, while Ms.
Menandez was a
History/Psychology major.

ERT will continue to spon-
sor approximately one
meeting of this type per
quarter throughout the year.
The club also gave students
the chance to meet informally
with local business women
last month when its members
were invited to have lunch at
the Women's Commerce Club
in downtown Atlanta.

In The News

by Mary Morder

Poland's unique experiment
in workers democracy died
quietly as the Warsaw Parlia-
ment voted to ban the Solidari-
ty union and to prevent any
other union from gaining na-
tional power.

The new law severely
restricts workers' rights to
strike and bans walkouts dur-
ing natural or economic
emergencies. Unions of police
of military personnel are not
allowed, and any labor union
believed to be harboring anti-
government activists will be
deregistered.

New unions will be made up
of professions only and initial-
ly limited to the factory level,
eliminating solidarity's na-
tional influence.

Only 10 members of the
460-seat parliament voted
against the new law, while
nine other members abstain-
ed.

Another member of Britain's
Royal Family has created a
fervor in London. Twenty-two
year-old Prince Andrew took
off for a vacation to the Carib-
bean island of Mustigue with
"Koo" Stark, an American-

born actress who has starred
in several erotic films. Queen
Elizabeth has reportedly
ordered him to cut his vaca-
tion short and return to
England.

In national news, the
outlook is grim. Unemploy-
ment figures hit 10.1 percent
as 11.3 million Americans
found themselves out of work.
The increase to double-digit
unemployment marked a
42-year high, the worst since
the depression.

Democrats blamed the
suitation on President Reagan
and his economic policies,
and called on Congress to
pass an emergency jobs pro-
gram at its next session in
November. Republicans blam-
ed the recession on past
Democratic mismanagement
and insisted that the presi-
dent's policies have laid the
base for eventual economic
recovery.

The case of the poisoned
Tylenol remains a mystery,
while investigation into
several leads continues. The
manufacturers of the drug,
Johnson & Johnson, have
agreed to destroy about 22

million bottles of Extra-
Strength Tylenol capsules in
the aftermath of seven deaths
attributed to the drug laced
with cyanide.

An anonymous letter was
sent to the manufacturer
demanding one million dollars
and threatening a second
wave of cyanide deaths, if the
demand was not met. Police
dismissed the letter as the
work of a kook.

Actor Fernando Lamas, 67,
died Friday after a brief battle
with cancer. Lamas was
famour for his roles as a
"Latin lover" or villian, starring
in over 40 movies during his
31-year career. He also
directed more than 60 televi-
sion shows.

In sports news, after two
days of rain-delay, the St.
Louis Cardinals beat the
Atlanta Braves (4-3) in the se-
cond game of the National
League Championship series.
The Cardinals won three
games in a row against the^
Braves, but lost their first
game against the Milwaukee
Brewers in the World Series.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1982

DJ Gary McKee and WQXI Rate High

by Kimberley Kennedy

At 4:30 a.m. when most of us
are asleep, Gary McKee is just
getting up. His workday
begins at 5:30 in the morning
as he prepares over one
million people in the Atlanta
area for their day. And on any
given weekday just about
everyone on campus is wak-
ing up to the Gary McKee Mor-
ning Show.

. Gary had always wanted to
work in Atlanta, even before it
was the top-10 market it is to-
day. A business management
major at Eastern Illinois
University, he began his radio
career in 1962. In 1971 WQXI
radio hired him as the morning
DJ where he now hosts the
number one radio show in
Atlanta.

Any one who listens to the
show can testify to the evident
appeal the obvious fun the
cast is having. Gary agrees,
"We enjoy ourselves we're
having fun. And it's infectious
listening to someone having
fun." The seeming chemistry
of the entire cast also adds to
the appeal, the unforced,
spontaneous conv r sations
between Gary, Yvetta Levitt,
and Willis the Guard, sincere
interest for Atlanta sports by
Beau Bock, and the infamous
"news commentaries" by Red

Neckerson (a feature begun
five years ago now syndicated
throughout the country.) These
people seem to like and
respect each other and au-
diences respond to it.

Gary sees that audience as
being somewhere between the
ages of "18 to death." His
comedy is "people comedy"
the kind that makes us "laugh
at ourselves." And despite the
obvious goal of the job, to get
peoples' days off to a good
start, he recognizes the ob-
vious influence he has on
people. "I'd like to think three
things come out in my show:
to grow, be kind, and to have
patience. Those who are into
the show, the ones who have a
handle on things, the doers,
know the comments are
directed towards them. We've
got to see humor in everything
God's having a blast and
we're afraid to laugh, to enjoy,
to get out."

Unlike most entertainers
Gary feels that he's pretty
much himself on the radio. It's
amazing that someone can be
so vivacious at 5:30 a.m. five
days a week, every week, but
Gary says, "When you open up
the mike and know one million
people are out there listening
it gets you up, it affects you."

To many of us, a four and a
half hour work day seems like
an ideal job, but the work can
be draining. "On a day when
there are controversial or fun
issues the intensity of the au-
dience drains me." And the au-
dience is indeed intense. Gary
personally answers about 500
phone calls a day during his
show.

THE MUSIC FM

To be successful in dealing
with audiences Gary feels,
"You have to be an observer,
just another person. T.V. peo-
ple lose their anonymity,
they're no longer normal and
they lose touch of having fun
with everyone." He seems con-
tent with his work because he

can have such an impact on
people without losing his own
identify and privacy. Whereas
many public people thrive on
notorietv. Gary would rather

keep his anonymity. "Being
recognized for my ac-
complishments, for a job well
done, is fun." But he dislikes
the "giddy, envious" way
some fans respond. "What is a
star, or a major market radio
jock? A star is anybody with
determination and luck who
has fallen on what they can do
perfectly."

Because he's been on the
radio since 1962 Gary McKee
has seen the impact radio has
had on youth. We live in an era
where records are being burn-
ed and being blamed for the
corruption the words and the
music have on contemporary
youth. A station such as WQXI
receives thousands of records
from young talent. "Artists
don't know the impact they're
having on young minds
they're just trying to express
themselves. But whose fault is
it, the musicians or the
parents? Music is too often
used as a cop-out for the
causes of rebellion."

As for his favorite music, he
likes the "now period" which
he sees as being "eclectic,"
the best of everything from
black to country to swing. He
also believes Atlanta has a
definite affect on the nation,
socially and musically. "It's a
hot, creative market and I

believe this station caters to
the needs of the city. We don't
get into the 4 top 40' syndicated
type shows. They play top 10
songs that we played months
ago in Atlanta. Those shows
just don't feature Atlanta."

Gary's spare time is filled
with the usual promotions that
accompany a job such as his.
But his interests sound more
like a Gentlemen's Quarterly
resume'. He enjoys nunting,
fishing and waterskiing and
taking care of cattle at his
Cumming, Ga. farm. He's an
avid runner and racketball
player nad he says he would
like more time with the
classics such as Voltaire and
Plutarch. But people seem to
be Gary's favorite hobby.
WQXI recently sponsored a
cruise with mostly Atlantans
aboard, and what he em-
phasized the most was the
great opportunity for interac-
tion with the guests.

As for goals, Gary McKee
hasn't made any. At 18 years
old in 1962, he made the goal
to work in Atlanta and at 38
seems content as the number
one disc jockey in a top-10
market. "It's fun to have the
opportunity and the ability to
do a job I enjoy and I'm going
to continue as long as I'm
happy."

Cashing in on Money Markets'

CAMPUS CAPSULES

Students have long been
recognized as prime con-
sumers of designer jeans, top-
notch stereos, and the latest
in sleek bicycles. Now, two U.
of Texas-Austin students say
college campuses are also a
prime market for money
market funds.

David Krause, a graduate
student and instructor in
finance, and Thomas McCaf-
frey, a law student, have writ-
ten a book advising students
to ignore standard checking
and savings accounts and
deposit their cash in money-
market funds. Such funds
usually pay double-digit in-
terest, and can now offer
checking services, says
Strauss. Students can have
access to their funds from any
bank and can make money on
the temporarily high balances
that typically precede tuition
payments. Some money
market funds also offer Visa
cards on a debit system. All
purchases on the care are
automatically deducted from
the interest-bearing balance.
And students who rely on sum-
mer job money, financial aid,
or one check from home to get
through the semester can be
earning greater interest on
their capital until they use it.

Krause and McCaffrey
began writing about money
market funds in 1981. The pair
Puzzle Answer

T

discovered, during class
research, that no references
on money markets existed.
They've written a book
specifically for students,
"Money Market Funds for Col-
lege Students," and another of
more general appeal,
"Understanding Money Market
Funds and IRA's.

Their company, Money
Funds Forum, still does its
own marketing and selling,
says Krause. Local publicity
and word-of-mouth produce

most sales, although they
recently began promoting
sales to libraries nationwide.
The book content is part of a
word-processing package and
is easily updated every two to
three months, says Krause.

Contact: "Money Market
Funds for College Students"
and "Understanding Money
Market Funds and IRA's" are
each available for $11.95, in-
cluding postage and tax, from
Money Funds Forum, 508
Elmwood Place, Austin, TX

Campus Digest News Service

Sleeping outdoors was a
form of protest for two groups
of college students. Students
from a Northern Illinois U.
dorm spent a night in a soccer
field to protest the lack of air
conditioning in their dorm.
Police discouraged some pro-
testers with warnings against
camping out without persmis-
sion. At Texas A&M, a smaller
group of students put together
a "five-story hammock condo"

on the dormitory quad to pro-
test temporary overcrowding.

By dialing "food," or 3663,
on campus phones, Western
Kentucky U. students can get
the daily menus for both the
university cafeterias. The food
service also distributes menus
to campus buildings as part of
its effort to acquaint students
with what the food service has
to offer.

Ringing out the Long Distance Blues

by Jane Zanca

Q. If E.T. were a student dur-
ing the Great Depression of
'82, could he afford to phone
home?

A. Only if he knew about one
of the new long distance ser-
vices which takes some of the
ring out of Ma Bell's cash
register.

M.C.I, works. This is not a
paid advertisement, just an un-
solicited testimonial by a stu-
dent who lives in Atlanta and
whose 53 closest friends
don't.

M.C.I, is a private telecom-
munications company.
Originally, M.C.I. served
business telephones only, but
in the past year, it has made
its money-saving services
available to residential
customers. If your long
distance calls run $25 per
month or more, you can save
20% to 50% on long distance
calls by joining M.C.I. Member-
ship is $10 per month if you
wish to have full-time service;
$5 per month if you can hold
your long-distance calling
hours to weekends, holidays,
and to non-business hours
(before 8 a.m., after 5 p.m.

weekdays). The membership
fee is quickly offset by the sav-
ings.

You must have a push-
button phone to use the ser-
vice. If roommates or friends
agree to share a membership,
the monthly membership

which time you punch your ac-
count number, then the area
code and phone number of the
party you wish to reach. You
are billed monthly for the
membership fee plus the cost
of your long distance calls. A
separate bill comes to you

charge could be cut to pennies
per month.

This is how the service
works: Once your membership
is set up, you are sent an in-
struction booklet, a computer
access number, and an ac-
count number. When you wish
to make a long distance call,
you punch the computer ac-
cess number on a push-button
phone. That number is
answered by a loud tone, at ,

from Ma Bell for your local
phone service. You use Ma
Bell's equipment to make your
long distance calls, but they
are transmitted through
M.C.I.'s microwave equipment.

Initially, M.C.I, was only able
to handle calls between cer-
tain major cities, but recently
a new service called Omni-Call
was instituted. With Omni-
Call, you can place your calls

anywhere, just as you could
with Ma Bell. Omni-Call is in-
cluded in your membership
fee. Your savings are greatest
for calls to the major cities
served by M.C.I., but you still
save on Omni-Calls.

There is one disadvantage
to M.C.I. The connections are
not always as clear as those
provided by Bell. Occasionally,
there is static on the line, or
pieces of conversation are
lost. You can, however, have
the charges cancelled for any
call which has a poor connec-
tion, if you report the problem
to the M.C.I. Customer Service
Operator immediately, and
then re-dial your call. When I
first began using M.C.I., I was
discouraged about the quality
of the connections, but the
savings on my first two bills
were so great that I decided to
stick with it. Subsequent calls
turned out to be better.

It's a great way to have your
gab without the guilt. The
customer service number for
M.C.I, in Atlanta is (404)
255-4443. . n

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

PAGE 7

Jekyll and Hyde Return with a Twist

"Jekyll and Hyde . . .
Together Again" makes
mince-meat of the original ver-
sion with more than a few new
twists. Jekyll remains the
serious doctor researching a
secret formula to find man's
link to his animal origins. He
works at Our Lady of Pain and
Suffering Hospital where he is
supervised by Dr. Carew,
money grubbing father of
Mary, Jekyll's fiancee, a
woman with the sunny
disposition of the filthy rich.
His associates are as strange
as the hospital itself. The
ageless Dr. Knute Lanyon
specializes in plastic surgery

specifically, his own.

Jekyll accidentally snorts
his formula late one evening

and Hyde emerges.

The potion transforms him
into a disco refugee with New
Wave tendancies. His hair
stands spiked, protruding a
foot on all sides, his chest
grows chains, his pants grow
tight, his shoes grow platform
heels and he has grown a gold

tooth with "love" etched on it.
But rather than kill, this Hyde
lusts for well, lust, and finds
his love object in Ivy a sleazy
Punk singer. Her roommate
Dutch thinks Hyde wants him
more than Ivy.

Ivy, Mary and The
Schizophrenic Duo come
together in a bizarre ending
that puts any resemblances of
the original film to rest.

Will Dr. Jekyll ever be the
same again?

Will Hyde end up performing
Jekyll's most critical opera-
tion?

Does Jekyll have a chance
with Ivy?

How about Mary and Hyde?

Will Jerry Belson ever work
in this town again?

Is Mark Blankfield's per-
sonality forever severed by the
experience?

Will Hyde's septum remain
in tact?

Will the baseball strike ever
end?

Only the movie has some of
the answers to these imperti-
nent questions.

Academy's Season Opens

The Academy's '82-'83
season will open with a bang
with The Miss Firecracker
Contest. And the rest of the
"Homecoming Season" in
their new, permanent theatre
promises to continue the ex-
citement.

Following the Academy's
holiday presentation in
December of Dickens' A
Christmas Carol is a drama of
a very different nature . . . The
Rope Dancers (January 13
through February 5) blends
love anger, innocence and
courage in this tale of a
strange young girl who sits
alone in her room with only her
jump rope and poems. Con-
flicts arise among family
members concerning her treat-
ment and the actions of a well
meaning doctor create a pas-
sionate climax.

"When I first saw this play
in its original New York pro-

duction in the fifties ... it im-
pressed me as a beautiful
piece of theatre," comments
Frank Wittow, who will direct
the play. "I've never forgotten
the experience and I have
always wanted to do the play
at the Academy."

What would you do if your
neighbor said he'd been talk-
ing to God and he had to build
a huge ship and await a torren-
tial flood? You'd probably
think he was crazy .. . which is
the same reaction that most of
Noah's relations have in Clif-
ford Odet's hilarious The
Flowering Peach. Slated for
February 17 through March 12.

Finishing out the '82-'83
season will be another new
play by Frank Wittow which, in
the tradition of Fiddler's Rock,
continues Wittow's explora-
tion of writing and directing
works especially for the
Academy.

Working up a good sweat on
a regular basis may be as
close as people will ever come
to finding the fountain of
youth.

In a Washington University
study, researchers are finding
that, as the years pass,
masters athletes cyclists
and long distance runners
over age 50 may deteriorate
at a slower rate than their in-
active peers.

Researchers studied 16 ag-
ing athletes for three years,
and although conclusive date
is not yet available,
preliminary findings have con-
firmed a relationship between
a person's exercise habits and
the rate of decline in car-
diovascular function with age.

oxygen to the muscles," says
professor of preventive
medicine John Holloszy, M.D.

World-class runners such as
Alberto Salazar and Craig
Virgin have oxygen uptake
capacities of 70 to 85
milliliters per kilogram. Inac-
tive seniors, ranging in age
from 50 to 72, usually have
capacities of about 30.

Regardless of health,
everyone experiences some
decline in this capacity with
age. The rate of that reduction
is important because it may
determine how one feels as
age begins to sap strength
and endurance. The greater
the decline, the lower one's
capacity for strenuous exer-
cise.

Non-athletes experience an
8 to 10 per cent decline each
decade. Most athletes show
similar reductions, but this
decline may be due to decreas-
ed training with age, Holloszy
says.

In the masters athletes who

have not decreased their train-
ing, oxygen uptake capacity
often declines as little as 4 per
cent per decade, indicating a
slower decline in cardiac func-
tion.

The researchers say that the
hearts of people who are inac-
tive work less and less effi-
ciently as the years go by,
meaning the system is put
under great strain during vir-
tually every physical activity. A
vicious cycle results because
exercise then becomes too
painful to endure, and the
decline is accelerated. In the
end, muscle function is im-
paired, the body breaks down,
and the time comes to break
out the rocking chair and
cane.

Previous studies have
shown athletes to be far more
vigorous than the sedentary
subjects, and their decline in
exercise capacity to be much
slower than that of non-
athletes.

The study should mean

something to the typically in-
active, slightly overweight,
beer-drinking American male.
Not to mention his female
counterpart.

"A decline of 8 to 10 per
cent per decade doesn't sound
like much," says co-
researcher James Hagberg,
"unless you string together
three or four straigh decades
at that rate. Then you have a
total decline of 30 or 40 per
cent, which is something you
can definitely feel. Your car-
diac function is impaired."

The slide into the rest home,
however, is not inevitable.

If, as preliminary results in-
dicate, this rate can be cut in
half with regular vigorous ex-
ercise, aging may be returned
to its natural level. Healthy ex-
ercise may not guarantee a
longer life, but it will certainly
mean a higher-quality, more
active one.

Vol. 69, JVo. 6

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Ga.

Oct. 25, 1982

"The Rimers of Eldritch"
Opens Blackf riars Season

The Rimers of Eldritch" by
award-winning playwright Lan-
ford Wilson has been called "a
kind of social protest version
of 'Our Town'." This
penetrating psychological por-
trait of a tiny, dying,
Midwestern town and its reac-
tion to a murder will be
presented by the Agnes Scott
Blackfriars Oct. 29, 30 and
Nov. 5, 6. Curtain for all dates
is at 8:15 p.m. in the Winter
Theatre of the Dana Fine Arts
Building. For tickets, call
377-1 200. Tickets are $4 for the
community, $1 for ASC
students, and $3 for ASC
faculty and staff.

Wilson, whose plays have
enjoyed success on and off
Broadway, wrote "The Hot L

Baltimore," "Fifth of July" and
"Talley's Folly," which won
the Pulitzer Prize in 1980.

"The Rimers of Eldritch,"
winner of the Drama Desk Ver-
non Rice Award, has an
unusual structure: the events
of the play are not divulged in
chronological order but in time
sequences that are shifted
and juxtaposed in a montage
of dissolving and re-emerging
themes and images.

As the murder mystery un-
folds, the play looks at
Eldritch's gossips, its com-
munity leaders, its drifters, its
families struggling for life in
the dry-rot of their decaying
hometown. Suspense and
irony build as the play reveals

the prejudices and unthinking
cruelty.

Directing the Blackfriars'
production of "The Rimers of
Eldritch" is Becky Prophet, a
new member of the Agnes
Scott theatre faculty. Ms. Pro-
phet believes that Wilson in-
tended to make a universal
statement with "The Rimers."
"It is evident in the play's
epigraph," she explained,
which is "The harvest is past,
the summer is ended, and we
are not saved," from the Bible,
Jeremiah 8:20. Ms. Prophet
said that "to the extent that
we are petty, prejudiced and
unthinkingly cruel, Eldritch is
our town."

Margaret Shipper), right, portrays an elderly woman terroriz-
ed by her daughter (left), played by Cayce Callaway, in the
Blackfriars' upcoming production of "The Rimers of Eldritch."

Included in the cast are
Agnes Scott students Susan
Boyd, Ann Brooks, Cayce
Callaway, Ann DuPree, Julie
Ketchersid, Marion, Mayer,
Margaret Shippen, Lana
Smith, Maggie Taylor, and

Lisa Willoughby. Jennifer
Shelton is the stage manager.
Playing the male parts are
George Bowling, David Dean,
Tom Holcomb, Terry Horn, Ted
Jones, Marty Wallis, and Gene
Witherspoon.

Hall. Call 373-2571, ext. 374 for
tickets.

Firkusny, a master inter-
preter of Classical and
Romantic music, will perform
Beethoven's "Sonata No. 31 in
A-flat major, Op. 110,"
Chopin's "Barcarolle," "Noc-
turne, Op. 9, No. 3" and
"Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, Op.
20" and Debussy's
"Estampes." He will conclude
his program with music from
his native land, Martinu's
"Fantasy Toccata."

Firkusny, born in a small

village in Czechoslovakia, had
learned all that his teachers
could teach him by age five.
As the child prodigy of the
famed Czech composer Leos
Janacek, he received a unique
course of study that included
attending the opening
premieres of his teacher's
works. At age ten, he made his
debut in Prague then went to
Paris and studied with Arthur
Schnabel.

Since his first U.S. tour in
1938 and a Town Hall debut in
1941, Firkusny has become
one of the world's most
popular pianists. He has
toured Europe, South America,
Australia, Israel and Japan
many times and has appeared
with most of the world's
leading orchestras including
the New York Philharmonic,
the Boston Symphony, the
BBC Symphony, L'Orchestra
de Paris and Vienna Sym-

phony. He has collaborated
with conductors Leonard Bern-
stein, Karl Boehm, Eugene Or-
mandy, Georg Solti, Charles
Munch, George Szell and
many other renowned conduc-
tors. He has made numerous
recordings for RCA, Decca,
Columbia and Vox. In 1979 he
was awarded Czechosla-
vakia's rarely given Janacek
Madal for his culural contribu-
tions to Janacek's composi-
tions and Czech music.

The Kirk Concert Series will
continue in February with a
performance by Henryk
Szeryng, the violin virtuoso
whose Agnes Scott ap-
pearance will be his first in the
United States during his
Golden Jubilee tour. The Kirk
Series will conclude in April
with a concert by the highly
acclaimed Clarinet and string
ensemble, Tashi.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

by Laurie McBrayer

As an individual concerned
about the reputation of Agnes
Scott, I would like to comment
on use of the English language
at the College.

First of all, words belong on
books and paper, not on walls.
Graffitti is a given in most
primary and secondary
schools; it is difficult to con-
trol there, just as it would be at
large universities such as
Tech. But, there is no excuse
for graffitti at Agnes Scott. I
have only seen it at one place,
but what bothers me most is
that it is in a public place, the
telephone booth in the library.
I noticed that the wall was
white at the beginning of fall
quarter, but now it is covered
with writing. Perhaps the
school could supply scratch

paper to prevent people from
following suit.

Secondly, I am frequently
appalled at spelling errors on
large signs posted all over
campus. To me, these errors
are embarrassing. I see a sign
on the door of Main every day
with "Oktoberqest." Careless
mistakes are common. If
someone is in doubt about the
actual spelling, she should ex-
amine the dictionary. At my
high school, we had to have all
signs approved by the ad-
ministration. Perhaps the
Board of Student Activities
should grant approval to
organizations that wish to
post signs. Or, at least BSA
could remind organizations
that posters reflect the stu-
dent body. Also BSA could
suggest that signs only be
posted for a certain length of

time. Walls swamped with
posters (especially outdated
cnes) really look tacky. BSA
should evaluate publicity ef-
forts of all organizations. By
the way, the Profile staff has
initiated a classified ads sec-
tion, to alleviate messiness on
the bulletin board on the stair-
way in the dining hall.

Two common errors regar-
ding word use need to be
noted. An applicant or
applicant-to-be is considered
a prospective student, not
perspective! A graduate of
Agnes Scott is an alumna;
several graudates are alum-
nae. The singular and plural
masculine forms of this word
are alumnus, alumni.

If ASC students want to be
considered "a breed apart"
then it is time that their use of
English reflected that image.

Sometimes the transition
from season to season is a
slow, methodological process
which is easy to notice and
describe. At other times the
change is less obvious and un-
predictable and seems to take
place overnight. There are
many ways in which to prepare
for all of these changes and
Rep Council is willing to help
you in any way that we can.

Sometimes you need to add
vitamins to your regular diet to
protect your body from harm-

help to maintain a healthy
balance in your academic,
social, political and personal
interests. Rep Council spon-
sored six Agnes Scott

Whetsel Interns As Paralegal

Marcia Whetsel, a senior
history major, interned this
summer as a paralegal with
Atlanta attorney and former
Georgia Representative Larry
W. Thomason.

Marcia learned of the intern-
ship through the Career Plann-
ing Office in mid-June and
began full-time work in July.
She has been able to continue
the internship this fall and
works two days a week.

Marcia, who plans to attend
law school next year, began
the internship doing research
with case briefs, legal
periodicals, treaties and the
Georgia Code Annotated at
Emory Law Library. She
observed in court and ran er-
rands at the courthouse when
a case was tried. She worked
closely with Mr. Thomason on
a case against Southern Bell,
a hearing of two pharmacists
accused of violating several
Georgia Code sections with
the Georgia State Board of
Pharmacy, and a divorce set-
tlement trial. After the hearing
with the Georgia State Board
of Pharmacy, Mr. Thomason
gave Marcia the transcript of
the hearing and asked her to
analyze it and come up with an
outline of evidence introduced
for the brief which would aid
the two pharmacists.

But I just organized the outline
in a logical manner like I have
organized all of my papers
here and tried to use as much
legal terminology as I could. I
had no idea what Mr.
Thomason's reaction would
be."

She was pleasantly surpris-
ed. In the finished brief, Mar-
cia discovered that he had
followed her outline and for-
mat with only slight changes
and had used many of her
arguments verbatim.

"This was one of the most
satisfying experiences of the
summer," Marcia commented.
"It confirmed for me what
everyone here has been saying
for four years about the value
of a liberal arts education.
Because of all of the papers I
have sweated over here, I had
an idea about how to organize
the brief even with no formal
legal training."

Some of Marcia's other
duties included investigative
work on civil and criminal mat-
ters, filing documents at the
DeKalb and Fulton county
courthouses, running errands
and making deliveries, confer-
ring with Mr. Thomasan's
clients about specific details
of their cases, and some
clerical work such as
reorganizing Mr. Thomason's

Senior Marcia Whetsel, seated in a DeKalb County court-
room, plans to study law.

In this case, Marcia
prepared a 20 page outline
with footnotes to the
transcript summarizing the
charges and the reasons the
two pharmacists were not guil-
ty of the violations. Mr.
Thomason then took her
outline and dictated the
former brief, which was sub-
mitted to the judge.

Marcia said "When I
started, I didn't know what I
was doing since I had never
done anything like this before.

filing system.

She has been directly involv-
ed in work on divorce cases,
the probate of wills, personal
injury cases, and gar-
nishments.

When asked how she had
benefited from the internship,
M >rcia responded that she
had learned many of the prac-
tical details of running an effi-
cient office and an effective
law practice. She has also
been able to assess her per-
sonal strengths and

weaknesses in the legal en-
vironment and thus examine
her "ability to become a profi-
cient and successful attor-
ney.

She also stated that since
she took the U. S. Legal
Systems (political science)
class in her sophomore year,
which gave her an overview of
the legal system's strengths
and weaknesses, she was able
to apply what she had learned
to the day-to-day situation,
and further examine the
system.

Marcia has learned not only
how to use a law library, but
also much about legal pro-
cedure, as well as some
substantive Georgia and U. S.
law from her research pro-
jects. In reference to her court-
room observations she stated,
"Basically, I am beyond learn-
ing the practical, and into the
tactical lessons of courtroom
procedure."

Through the access to the
Emory Law Library, Marcia
was able to pursue and
research another career goal.
After graduation from law
school, she wants to work with
the legal aspects of the
development of the space pro-
gram. At Emory she
discovered a legal periodical
called, The Journal of Space
Law, which consists of ar-
ticles dealing with the legal
issues and problems arising
from the space program, such
as the regulation of satellites,
the control and distribution of
outer space resources, and
the problems which may result
from the entry of private enter-
prise into space exploration
and development.

Two years ago she found an
interview of Omni magazine
with an attorney in Houston
who had specialized in this
field and did work with NASA.
She decided to investigate.
This summer she wrote letters
to approximately 25 different
agencies that work with the
space program to try to find
some other attorneys in this
area. She located four whom
she subsequently discovered
published articles in the Jour-
nal of Space Law. "I have been
in correspondence with these
attorneys about the field and
what I need to do in the next
four years to specialize."

ASC Graduate Gives Biology Lecture

by Jody Stone

Dr. Elizabeth Champe Hart,
Agnes Scott graduate (1972),
gave a lecture sponsored by
the Biology Department entitl-
ed "Ecology and Physiology of
the Giant Kelp Pelagophycus
Porra" in the Buttrick Film
Room on Wednesday night,
October 13. Dr. Hart has
recently received her doc-
torate in Marine Biology from
the University of Southern
California. At this time, she
met Prof. John Pilger, who was
also completing his graduate
work at USC. An accomplished
scuba diver, she conducted
much of her underwater
research off the island of San-
ta Catalina where forests of
this rare giant kelp are found.
Pelagophycus, found at great
depths, grows to an incredible

size (30 meters) with blades
from 15 to 20 meters in length
and up to one meter in width.
Her presentation included
numerous underwater slides
of the giant kelp which gave
the audience a visual idea of
their great size.

Her dissertation research,
which she summarized dur-
ing the lecture, centered on
the role of auxins in
Pelagophycus. In higher
plants, auxins serve as hor-
mones for cell elongation and
the stimulation of cell division.
In marine algae, their function
is not clear. In her study, Dr.
Hart investigated the presence
and concentration of auxins
and their role in Pelagophycus
specifically. By sampling
small portions of the blade
and analyzing them in the

laboratory, Dr. Hart was able
to determine areas of max-
imum cell growth and cell size,
and also areas of maximum
auxin concentration. Dr. Hart
found that, in Pelagophycus,
the areas of greatest auxin
concentration (the mid blade)
did not correlate with areas of
maximum cell growth and cell
size (the base of the blade). On
the other hand, she did find
that the auxin concentration
was associated with areas of
highest photosynthetic pro-
ductivity. For her research in
this area, Dr. Hart was award-
ed the Harold C. Bold award
for the best student contribu-
tion to phycology (the study of
marine algae) at the First Inter-
national Phycological Con-
gress Meetings held in New-
foundland earlier this year.

Psychology Professor, Miriam Drucker spoke at Senior In-
vestiture, on October 16 in Gaines Auditorium.

In The News

In the news this week, Presi-
dent Reagan made a special
appearance on national televi-
sion to deny responsibility for
the 10.1% national unemploy-
ment rate. The president blam-
ed current economic problems
on the Democrats, citing the
"trillion-dollar debt" run up by
previous administrations.

One unemployed American
was the President's son, Ron,
Jr., who was laid off by the Jof-
frey Ballet Company. Ron
declined help from the White
House and applied for
unemployment.

Wholesale prices in
September fell 0.6%, an an-
nual rate of $.7%. This marks
the fourth monthly decline this
year, and the biggest one
since May.

For three days, a man kept
his sister and her two children
captive in an Amtrak rail car in
Raleigh, N.C. Mario Villabone
Navas kept police away with
gunfire. At the end of the
seige, Navas' sister and her in-
fant son were dead, while the
surviving daughter was sent to
a foster home. Navas was held
without bond on two counts of
murder and one count of kid-
napping.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a
significant decision, upheld
New Jersey's "shield law,"
protecting reporters and
editors when they are sued for

libel. The decision gives
reporters an unlimited right to
keep secret how they obtained
stories when they are sued for
libel.

Bess Truman, wife of former
President Harry Truman, died
Monday, Oct. 18.

In international news, angry
Polish workers protested the
government's martial law ef-
forts to disband the nation's
Solidarity labor union. The
demonstrations and riots left
at least one person dead, as
riot troops broke up the pro-
tests with tear gas, water can-
non, grenades, flares and
bullets. Several hundred pro-
testers through the country
were arrested. Fugitive
solidarity leaders were un-
daunted by the events and cir-
culated leaflets urging
workers in Warsaw to strike.

Fighting erupted in Lebanon
several times between rightist
Christian Phalangists and the
Moslem Druzesect, which is
allied with the PLO. Also,
Lebanese government troops
moved into Christian east
Beirut and began to disarm the
Christian Phalangist forces.

Gender Advocates
Egalitarianism

by Debbie McLaughlin

Sandra Bern, a psychology
professor at Cornell Universi-
ty, spoke recently on the topic
"Revolution Begins at Home:
Egalitarian Couples and
Gender-liberated
Childrearing."

Married for several years
and the mother of two
children, Emily, eight, and
Jeremy, five, Dr. Bern lectured
from personal experience and
used many anecdotes in her
address.

Dr. Bern first defined what
an egalitarian relationship is
and then discussed problems
that are encountered in this
type of relationship. "Fun-
damentally, an egalitarian
relationship is one where
nobody has any status over
anybody else," Dr. Bern said.

"However, just being male
in America gives a person
more rights," Dr. Bern con-
tinued. For example, the
psychology professor pointed
out that the money issue is
always in favor of men. Men
are expected to make more
money than women, and a
woman's career always comes
second to a man's, she said.

To see how today's genera-
tion feels about egalitarian
marriages, Dr. Bern surveyed
her Cornell students. The
students were asked their
opinion of the use of day care
centers in a dual career mar-
riage. Seventy-five percent of
the women strongly approved
of day care centers, while 50%
of the males agreed.

In addition, the students
were asked about their opin-
ions of equal housekeeping.
Here, 80% of the females were
for the cause, and 46% of the
males were in accordance.
However, the biggest dif-
ference between females and
males was when they were
asked their feelings on equal
child rearing. Of the women,
78% favored this sharing of
work, while only 29% of the
males could see themselves
as helping their wives raise
their children.

Dr. Bern commented, "As
we can see, society has a real
problem here. Both the hus-
band and wife have careers,
but the wife is expected to
carry out two jobs."

Dr. Bern also spoke about
what type of people would be
well suited to an egalitarian
relationship and where one
would find this type of person.

"A man or woman who
places their career above
everything else in life would
never be happy in an
egalitarian relationship but
would be much more satisfied
to remain single," she said.

Dr. Bern continued, answer-
ing a question, "Where do
women find men interested in
an egalitarian marriage?
These men are found among
"adults." They are mature, ex-
perienced people who have a
sense of what the world is

really like. They do not use
their wives as a crutch." Dr.
Bern pointed out, "Young
males often get married to be
better than their wives."

The feminist finalized her
beliefs by saying, "It is very
difficult to find an egalitarian
man. Women will have to raise
them for the next generation."

Discussing gender-liberated
childrearing, Dr. Bern first
defined a gender-liberated
child to be one of whose
behavior is not constricted or
stunted by sex stereotypes.
Secondly, the child's view of
the world is not organized on
the basis of gender.

"How do we produce this
type of child in contemporary
America where children are
treated so differently accor-
ding to their sex? For example,
only three minutes after my
daughter was born, a pink rib-
bon was placed on her head,"
Dr. Bern related.

"In today's society, what
sex you are matters," the pro-
fessor emphasized. Even in ice
skating boys and girls are
designated. Boys wear hockey
skates and are supposed to
play hockey, while girls wear
white skates and figure skate.
And, if a boy is to figure skate,
he better wear black skates,"
she said.

Dr. Bern gave tips to the au-
dience on how to successfully
produce a gender-liberated
child who is different from the
dominant culture.

"First, a parent has to retard
a child's knowledge of the
culture's many stereotypes
concerning one's sex," the
professor said. For example,
"Husbands and wives must
both wash dishes. There
should be cross-sex play. Lit-
tle girls should not play with
just little girls, and likewise
boys should not have just
other boys as friends. Children
should be given a wide variety
of toys. Trucks and dolls can
be switched between boys and
girls. Finally, materials should
be censored."

The main material Dr. Bern
talked about to be censored
was books. "In children's
books males win over female
main characters two to one.
There are 95% more male pic-
tures than female pictures,
and 90% of the females that
are pictured are shown in-
doors."

Dr. Bern "doctors" her on
children's books. "Where
there is a "he", I put "she". In-
stead of fireman, I put "fireper-
son." And many male pictures
I fix to be females," she
disclosed.

Aside from retarding the
child's knowledge of the
culture's stereotypes, Dr. Bern
said that children most
basically need to understand
that there is no more dif-
ference between the sexes
than their anatomy. She
simplified the issue, "The end
result is a child that is more
naive socially but more
sophisticated biologically.

Psychologist Discusses
Gender-Free World

by Laurie McBrayer

In 1965, Sandra Bern, Pro-
fessor of Psychology and
Director of Women's Studies
at Cornell, graduated from col-
lege, got married, and began
graduate school all within
four months. She said that this
time period was also when she
" came to feminism." She and
her husband immediately
established an egalitarian
marriage.

Dr. Bern, a prominent
psychologist who spoke at a
recent ASC psychology collo-
quium, discussed the origin of
her research questions for a
case study regarding the an-
drogyny and gender schema
theory. To guide her research,
Dr. Bern said she considered
her own feminist Utopia and
asked herself what kind of
research she could do to instill
certain ideas in society. She
explained, "In a Utopia world
people's thinking would be
gender-free, and behaviors
and attributes would not have
gender."

In 1970, she began conduc-
ting research on feminist
issues. She studied biases in
society and one experiment
she arranged concerned the
help wanted ads in the Pitts-
burg Press. The newspaper
ads were divided into male and
female sections. She asked a
ramdom group of students to
view these ads in separate

lists and in an integrated list.
Where the jobs were
separated, only 40 percent of
the women were interested in
"male" jobs. When the jobs
were combined in one list, 80
percent reported interest in
"male" jobs. The Press lost a
Supreme Court discrimination
suit over the matter.

Dr. Bern cited a discrimina-
tion suit against AT&T in
which the Equal Employment
Opportunities Commission
had found 10,000 pieces of
evidence demonstrating
discrimination. She pointed
out that advertising strictly
geared toward a strong,
masculine character would
not attract females on the job.
If the ad used the term "line-
person" five percent of women
would be interested in the job.
If the ad indicated positive
results from the job such as a
trim figure, 45 percent would
show interest.

Dr. Bern developed the Bern
Sex-Role Inventory in which an
individual rates himself /
herself on a seven point scale
using 20 qualities traditionally
associated with males (such
as independent) and 20
qualities traditionally
associated with females (such
as nurturing). Results of the
survey would indicate whether
a person was a sex type ex-
hibiting a majority of male or
female characeteristics or an-

drogynous exhibiting many
male and female qualities. Dr.
Bern said that her early
research indicated that "sex-
type people avoid cross sex
activities like the plague" and
are usually consistent in their
behavior. Androgynous peo-
ple, who participate in the
stereotypical male and female
activities are inconsistent in
their behavior.

Finally, Dr. Bern discussed
cognitive mediators and
outlined the gender-schema
theory. She said that sex-type
people tend to organize items
according to sex. In a recall ex-
periment, she discovered that
people would organize items,
within categories such as
animals, according to sex. For
example, if a person
remembered that he or she
saw a hawk (associated with
masculinity) he might also
recall a lion, and a bull rather
than a lamb or kitten.

Dr. Bern said that as women
now attempt to develop typical
feminine and masculine
qualities, they have two
chances to feel inadequate.

She said that to ease the dif-
ficulties of multifaceted roles
for women the goal is "to
retard the thinking of gender
schematic thinking." She now
directs her research toward
learning characteristics in
children, which she discussed
in her evening lecture.

Team Gains Tourney Experience

by Susan Whitten

The six top players of the
Agnes Scott tennis team com-
peted against six other
Georgia teams in the Georgia
Tech Invitational Tennis Tour-
nament October 16 and 17. At
the South Fulton Tennis
Center in College Park, the
team was challenged by
others from Brenau College,
Columbus College, Emory
University, Georgia Tech, Ken-
nesaw College and Shorter
College, many of which they
had never before played.

Although the team did not
place overall, they did well in
the doubles division. Junior
Sue Feese and freshman
Jeanie Bartlett were awarded
second place in a match

against two Irish students on
tennis scholarships at Colum-
bus College. (They lost 2-6,
6-7.) "They played a super
game," commented junior
Tracy Baker, who placed
fourth with junior Tammy
Jenkins. The other Agnes
Scott players, freshman Amy
Puckett and sophomore,
Sarah Bell, placed fifth.

Although this is the first col-
legiate season for most of the
Agnes Scott players, Tracy
said, "it was a lot of fun and
good experience since all the
teams we played against were
really good." From the ex-
perience in this tournament,
she feels, they will all play bet-
ter against these teams next
time.

Economist Henderson to Speak on Politics of Solar Age

"The assumptions under
which the industrial era
flourished are unraveling . . .
The efforts of President
Reagan and Prime Minister
Thatcher are the politics of the
last hurrah."

"By and large, most
economists have tended to ig-
nore those social and en-
vironmental variables that do
not fit into their theoretical
models."

"Economics and its modern
tools, such as cost benefit
analysis, have now begun to
obscure social and moral
choices and prevent a vital,
new national debate about

what is valuable."

These are the type of
statements that independent
futurist and economist Hazel
Henderson makes in inter-
views, in her books and at the
podium.

The English-born activist,
author and self-taught futurist
and economist will give the
talk, "The Politics of the Solar
Age," Monday, Nov. 9, at
Agnes Scott at 8:15 p.m. in
Presser Hall. She will speak on
the effects of using solar
energy versus nuclear energy
and petroleum-based energy
on the United States' and the
world's industrial ized

Prospectives Come In Quest of Agnes Scott

by Caroline Cooper

The Admissions Office
reports that the recent
Oktoberquest attracted the
most prospective students
ever. Last Thursday, Oct. 21,
approximately 180 high school
seniors representing 14 states
from as far north as New
Jersey and as far west as
Texas arrived at Agnes Scott
for a 24-hour glimpse of col-
lege life. The overwhelming
response from prospective
students who wanted to at-
tend Oktoberquest, along with
an unusually small number of

last-minute cancellations and
"no shows," forced the Admis-
sions office to close registra-
tion for the first time ever and
to create a waiting list.

Oktoberquest activities in-
cluded the opportunity to at-
tend classes and to stay with
ASC students in the dorms, as
well as a chance to meet and
discuss questions with admis-
sions and financial aid of-
ficers, faculty members, and
the Dean. In addition Presi-
dent Schmidt spoke on the
value of a liberal arts educa-
tion and the importance of
women's studies in the cur-

riculum, and Dr. Ayse llgaz
Carden addressed the con-
cerns that many students feel
about attending women's col-
leges. A Dessert party and a
"Great Scott" campus-life
slide show were also part of
the festivities.

The response to Oktober-
quest from participants and
parents was extremely
favorable. When asked what
they likes best about Agnes
Scott, prospective students
responded most frequently
with "the honor system" and
"the small student-faculty
ratio." Atlanta was also men-

tioned as an advantageous
location. Although some
students were surprised that
our President is a woman,
most students said that they'd
"expected Agnes Scott to
have a woman president since
Agnes Scott is a women's col-
lege." When asked if they felt
any qualms about possibly
coming to a woman's college,
many students replied that
they were only considering
women's colleges. One ex-
asperated student said,
"That's just the whole problem
for me! I've looked and looked
and I can't find any disadvan-
tages!"

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

by Laurie McBrayer

Since exam time is ap-
proaching, it seems to be an
appropriate topic to discuss.
Primarily, I direct this editorial
toward the freshmen.

Sometimes the blue books,
exam schedules, exam regula-
tions, and hall honor court
meetings create an intense
level of anxiety about exams
especially those first ex-
ams. Realize that at Agnes
Scott a great freedom comes

with the responsibility of self-
scheduled exams. Unlike stu-
dent scheduling at other col-
leges, self-schedulilng means
we don't have to have three ex-
ams on Monday and one on
Friday. The ASC system
allows students to take the ex-
ams when they feel most
prepared for them.

I am not a pro at taking ex-
ams just because I've ex-
perienced nine examination

periods. Nor have I learned to
avoid test anxiety. But, I do
think it's important to take ex-
ams with a certain perspec-
tive. Most exams at ASC are
worth between one-fourth and
one-half of the final grade.

This fact suggests that over-
night cramming will not be suf-
ficient. Likewise, pulling an
all-nighter or skipping
breakfast before an exam is
not adviseable.

Attend Anti-Prejudice Rally Thurs.

by Kappy Wilkes

"We believe all people are
created equal Do you?"
That is the motto of the Anti-
Prejudice Rally taking place
November 4, from 3 p.m. -4
p.m., at the Capitol on
Washington St., in protest to
the Ku Klux Klan march in
Washington D.C. on November
6. The Rally will remain
peaceful since order will be re-
quested and maintained.

The Georgia Student
Association is sponsoring this
Anti-Prejudice Rally to con-
demn groups, such as the
KKK, which advocate violence,
acts of racism, and religious
persecution. All students,
faculty, and staff of the Agnes

Scott Community are urged to
support this critical movement
against the Klan and what it
represents.

It is the antithesis of the
principles of the human
equality which is at the heart
of the U.S. creed. In silence the
Klan can grow but with public
exposure and condemnation it
will be stopped.

Only with active support of
the Anti-Prejudice Rally will
our voice against such groups
as the KKK be heard. Apathy is
a sin when our peoples' rights
of civility are being threatened
by violent acts of racism and
religious persecution.

Agnes Scott can make a
statement against the Klan

and other groups that ad-
vocate prejudice ideals, along
with other Georgia students
and the Atlanta public, by at-
tending and supporting this
Anti-Prejudice Rally. Speakers
are Georgia students in-
cluding: GSA President Jeanie
Morris (ASC), Steven Span-
dorfer (Emory), Meg Jenkins
(ASC), Gina Hudgins
(Spelmen), and others.

A car pool will be organized
to leave ASC at 2:30 on Nov. 4.

Campus Changes Needed

by Laurie McBrayer

The physical plant workers
and student workers deserve
much credit for efforts to
beautify the campus. The area
next to the ramp to the library
is especially attractive. The
flowers there and around the
flagpole add a lot to the ap-
pearance of the campus. I was
glad to learn that grass seed
has been planted in the circle
in front of the dining hall.
Perhaps azalea bushes could
be planted around it so
students wouldn't walk
through it, and then it wouldn't
just be a patch of grass.

I hope that soon attention
will be given to the front cirde

of Main both sides of the
drive. This area is one which
visitors see and often gain a
first impression of the cam-
pus. So, why is it the
messiest? Leaves are never
raked in front of Main and lots
of grass needs to be planted.
Flowers planted in front of

Main would definitely be an
asset.

Other physical im-
provements needed are: ramp
entrances to one or more of
the walkways in the quad, and
a new"one way" sign in the
front circle of Main.

Bell, Harris Race Highlights Georgia Election!

by Mary MacKinnon

It is gubernatorial election
time in Georgia with Bob Bell
as the Republican candidate,
and Joe Frank Harris as the
Democratic candidate. Both
candidates come from a
similar background and both
have similar political ex-
perience. Both are focusing
their campaigns on the pro-
blems facing Georgia in
education, crime, and the
economy.

The Republican candidate,
Bob Bell, is a native of DeKalb
County. As a state senator,
Bob Bell has had 14 years ex-
perience in the Georgia
General Assembly, serving
four years in the House and
10 years in the Senate. Bob
Bell has been recognized as
one of the nation's Ten
Outstanding Legislators at the
1981 National Conference of
State Legislators. He was also
selected as one of Georgia's
Ten Best Legislators in 1980
by the Atlanta Constitution-
Journal Magazine.

Joe Frank Harris, the
Democratic candidate, is a
native of Cartersville, in Bar-
tow County. Joe Frank Harris
has served in the Georgia
General Assembly for 18
years. He is currently Chair-
man of the House Appropria-
tions Committee. The Georgia
Association for Retarded
Citizens selected Joe Frank
Harris as the Most Outstan-
ding Legislator.

The main issues facing the
candidates in this guber-
natorial race are improving
economic conditions, crime

The United States won two
important diplomatic victories
last week by forcing Arab na-
tions to halt their efforts to ex-
pel Israel from the United Na-
tions and by defeating an at-
tempt to drop Israel out of the
International Telecommunica-
tions Union. Arab League na-
tions decided to stop efforts to
expel Israel from the United
Nation's General Assembly,
deciding instead to express
collective and symbolic
misgivings about Israel's
credentials.

The U.S. promised to protest
an expulsion of Israel by walk-
ing out of the assembly and by
suspending its payments of
$150 million per year to the
United Nations.

Western delegates also
managed to amend a resolu-
tion made by the telecom-
munications union that would
have barred Israel from union
meetings. The amendment
criticized Israel for its military
actions in Lebanon, but made
no actions toward the Israelis.

Several 1982 Nobel Prizes
were awarded last week:
Gabriel Carcia Marguez, a Col-
umbian writer whose works
describe death, betrayal,
despair and governmental
repression, was awarded the
1982 prize for literature.
George Stigler of the Universi-
ty of Chicago, won the
economics prize for his
research showing the impact

prevention, and improving
education. Through the theme
of his political campaign,
"Reaching Georgia's Poten-
tial," Bob Bell believes that as
the quality of education in-
creases as a crime is
defeated, economic growth
will improve as a result. By
solving problems concerning
education and crime, Bell
feels that Georgia will be able
to attract new business,
especially technical in-
dustries, to the state. He also
plans to get people off of

GOP Candidate Bob Bell.

welfare and back into the work
force. He plans to increase
Georgia's exports, concen-
trating on agricultural pro-
ducts. He plans to give
farmers tax relief to encourage
them to continue farming.

Bob Bell is in favor of
teacher pay raises and
benefits. He says that in order
to provide students with a
good education, funds must
be directed towards improving
the quality of education. In
order to do this, Bell supports
the recommendation of the
Georgia Tax Reform Commis-

of government regulation on
the economy. Kenneth G.
Wilson of Cornell University
won the physics prize for his
theory for critical phenomena
in connection with phase tran-
sitions. South African Aaron
Klug won the chemistry pfize
for developing eleqtron
microscopy that helps explain
biological functions on the
basis of chemical structure.

Auto magnate John
DeLorean was arrested on
charges of attempting to
finance a $24 million cocaine
deal to save his failing auto
company in Northern Ireland.
DeLorean was arrested the
same day the government an-
nounced that it would no
longer subsidize his plant, and
that they would shut it down in
10 days.

sion calling for the funding of
education by sales taxes, in-
stead of property taxes.

Bob Bell notes that crime
prevention is a top priority due
to the fact that Georgia ranks
high in crime rate and drug
trafficking. He advocates
tough sentences for repeat of-
fenders favoring swift trials
and maximum sentencing.
Bell supports capital punish-
ment. He plans to work to
abolish the rising problem of
the many driving under the in-
fluence (DUI) offenders by
banishing the loopholes ex-
isting in current legislation
that allow DUI offenders to re-
tain possession of their
licenses and to plea nolo con-
tendre a plea which allows
the DUI conviction to not be
counted on the personal
record.

Joe Frank Harris is running
a "common sense platform"
campaign. In order to improve
economic conditions, Joe
Frank Harris plans to bring
new industries to Georgia, to
expand export markets and
foreign trade, promote
Georgia's agricultural
business, and improve
Georgia's ports.

Joe Frank Harris wants to
provide students with a good,
sound education by ad-
vocating teacher pay raises to
attract good teachers and to
keep good teachers already
employed. Harris opposes
sales tax as a means of educa-
tional funding, stating that
even a penny increase would

courses continuing from the
fall quarter can be made dur-
ing scheduling (January 3).

Placing emphasis on serv-
ing as Chairman of the Ap-
propriations Committee, Joe
Frank Harris states that he is
able to promise no new state
taxes. He believes in "more
government for the money."
He believes that by increasing
employment, more people will
be paying taxes, therefore
automatically increasing state
revenue. He believes that
education can be improved
without additional funds being
spent.

Aside from the major
issues, the candidates also
take their stands on other im-
portant issues. Bob Bell is
against gun control. He sup-
ports the movement for a new
state constitution. He ad-
vocates a constitutional
amendment for prayer in
schools, but he does not favor
mandatory prayer. He will sup-
port a state Equal Rights
Amendment if the citizens of
Georgia want it. He is open to
public voting on the issue of
pari-mutual betting in Georgia.

Joe Frank Harris opposes a
national Equal Rights Amend-
ment because he feels that the
needs and rights of women
can be dealt with in Georgia
without national government
intervention. Harris plans to
make Georgia's government
sensitive to the needs of its
senior citizens by providing
tax breaks and ending
discrimination against the
elderly.

Scott exhibit were taken in
Burma, Thailand, Sri Landa,
Madagascar, Indonesia and
South Korea. Seylan feels that
"photography is something
too personal to really be ex-
plained." He has stated, "In a
temple in Sukhothai I read this
little piece of wisdom: Take
nothing but yourself, leave
nothing but your footprints,'
which is very applicable to
travel, maybe photography
too."

Careful checking of course
cards and schedules can pre-
vent problems on scheduling
day. Course cards will be
available in the Registrar's Of-
fice on November 9 and 10. Un-
corrected errors on course
change days mean students
will be red-tagged for schedul-
ing and will automatically be
in the last group to schedule

After November 10, no
course or section changes can
be made until the drop/add
period during winter quarter
(January 4-13). Textbooks for
the winter quarter will be
ordered on the basis of course
enrollments as of November
10.

Columbian Student Attends ASC Rebekah Sr. Residents

by Colleen O'Neill
and Susan Vargas

Susan Vargas, one of our
new Agnes Scott freshmen,
has a hard time telling people
that she is from Columbia.
They think she means Colum-
bia, South Carolina rather than
Columbia, South America. She
grew up in the Columbian
capital city, Bogotia. Her
mother is Jean Allen Reinero,
who graduated from Agnes
Scott in 1958. Susan's grand-
mother is also an Agnes Scott
alumna.

Susan's mother is an
American citizen who met her
Columbian husband at
Georgia Tech. Because of her
multi-national background,
Susan is bi-lingual. At home
she speaks English with her
parents and Spanish with her
brothers and sisters. She has
come to Atlanta before on
vacation to visit her aunt who
lives here. She graduated from
an American school in Colum-

Susan Vargus

bia. Until fifth grade she went
to a Swiss school because her
parents hoped she would learn
French also. She is taking
French here at Agnes Scott.

Susan finds the people in
the United States very dif-
ferent from those in Columbia.
Americans, she says, are very
friendly. She thinks the girls
here are much more liberated.
She describes herself as con-
servative. American, or rather
Georgia Tech, boys are dull,
and "snobby". Her greatest
complaint about the United
States is what she calls the
organization. She is surprised
by the rules, especially the
driving laws and the taxes. "It
drives me crazy, the way they
try to control your life," she
said. Most of all, in Columbia
Susan misses her friends and
German, her boyfriend.

In spite of homesickness,
Susan is glad to be at Agnes
Scott. She said she came here
after all, for the education, the
experience, and the opportuni-
ty to major in art. Most of all,
she is here for the opportunity
to live in a dorm, on her own.
She is savoring her in-
dependence.

Women's Colleges Have Come a Long Way

Women's colleges are doing
just fine.

While other educational in-
stitutions are beseiged with
heavy financial pressures and
declining enrollments, the 116
all-women colleges in the na-
tion are filling up with more
students and more money.
Their good fortune does not
mean they are exempt from
trouble, however.

Most women's colleges had
their share of trouble in the
1960's. At the beginning of the
decade, they numbered 300
strong until the sudden em-
phasis on coeducation began
shutting a lot of their doors,
and the dwindling enrollment
sparked a lot of financial wor-
ries.

Now declining numbers of
students and money problems
are troubling all educational
institutions. Because of their
past experience with tough
times, women's colleges are
prepared to weather the storm.

First, they are ready to han-
dle the cuts in federal aid and
scholarships with support
from their alumnae, who have
proven to be very generous
with their money. Most col-
leges attract donations from
only 18 per cent of their past
graduates. On the average,
women's colleges draw con-
tributions from one-third of
their former students.

At Smith and Mount
Holyoke colleges, one-half of
the alumnae support their
schools with funds.

Second, women's colleges
are ready to snap up their
share of the dwindling number
of people attending colleges.
They already have 2 per cent of
the college population, or
about 125,000 students. And
they wil continue to attract the
numbers because of the uni-
que appeal they have for
women, according to Marcia
Sharp, executive director of

the Women's College Coali-
tion.

The attraction they offer
students is more than just
education for women by
women. Most of the women's
colleges have been changing
their liberal arts programs to
include women's issues and
technical skills that have been
normally considered for men
only. Many have been adding
special programs for older
women who are now returning
to school.

The changes women's col-
leges have been making are
working. In the last decade,
enrollment has risen 25 per
cent for all 116 schools, com-
pared with 18 per cent for
private coeducational col-
leges.

The 52 Roman Catholic
women's colleges have ssen
the most dramatic increase in
the number of students. Their
student numbers rose 35 per
cent in the last decade.

The renewed vitality of
women's colleges is partly at-
tributed to the strength of the
women's movement in the
mid-70's. The attention given
to women's rights and women
in general made it socially ac-
ceptable for a woman to seek
the company of other women.

But the fact that women's
colleges are populated with all
women does have some
drawbacks, especially
students interested in dating
men. To accomodate those
who seek the opposite sex, the
Smith prospectus has a map
that lists the miles to the
nearest coeducational
schools.

newcomer to Agnes Scott; she
graduated from ASC in 1980,
having majored in English and
history. Bob is also familiar
with the campus. He is a 1980
graduate of Georgia Tech in in-
dustrial engineering and spent
some time here while he and
Cookie dated.

After graduating, Bob and
Cookie were married in
September 1980, and moved to
Cinncinnati. Bob worked as a
systems engineer with Litton
Unit Handling Systems.
Cookie was editorial
associate for Southwestern
Publishing Company. Early
this year Bob decided to be a
physician. They decided to
come back to Atlanta so Bob
could study pre-med at
Georgia State. After they had

in over the summer. "It's so
quiet over here. I haven't had
any problems."

Cookie said she appreciates
her education at Agnes Scott
and, when asked if she would
come here if she had to
choose again, she replied,
"Absolutely ... I think this is a
great place to go to school."
Things seem to be the same
she feels, except that the
students now have better
ideas of what they will do after
graduating. She says that
seniors do need to start look-
ing for a job early and
underclassmen should start
now doing internships and ex-
ternships in mind of possible
future careers.

Parry's Sabbatical Focuses on Philosophy

by Baird Lloyd

"Oxford is such a beautiful
place to be," Professor
Richard Parry, Professor of
Philosophy at Agnes Scott,
spent the 1981-82 school year
as a Visiting Fellow at Oriel
College, Oxford University in
Oxford, England.

Professor Parry, whose
main area of interest is an-
cient Greek philosophy, spent
the year studying and writing
with possibly "the largest
number of people studying
and writing about ancient
Greek philosophy in one place
in the world."

Professor Parry, his wife
and children, lived in Oxford
while he was studying there.
The children went to an
English school for the year. Dr.
Parry attended some classes
at the university and also par-
ticipated in several faculty
study groups, which met to
translate and discuss
philosophical problems in an-
cient Greek philosophy.

A main part of Dr. Parry's

work centered around a part of
Plato's Republic. He explained
that his sabbatical had several
effects on his Agnes Scott

classes after he returned this
year. The most direct effect
will be to his course concern-
ing Plato because he said he

gathered much pertinent infor-
mation. There were also
several indirect effects. He ex-
plained that he benefitted
from the chance to remove
himself from teaching to stu-
dying and from the chance to
study with several very promi-
nent scholars within his field.
He found it to be "a very
refreshing experience."

Life in Oxford was
somewhat different from life
in Decatur. "We didn't have a
car," said Dr. Parry. They did
not find this a limitation as
much as an adjustment. The
Parrys travelled in England
and Wales and Dr. Parry was
able to meet some of his se-
cond and third cousins living
there. Another highlight of Dr.
Parry's sabbatical was his trip
to Greece. He spent a week
visiting Athens, Delphi, Cor-
inth and the surrounding area.
The trip, his first to Greece,
gave him a "general idea
about what Plato and Aristotle
looked at."

Student Interns at Grady

Nuclear Arms Convocation
Planned for Next Monday

by Baird Lloyd

Tracy Veal '84, a sociology-
anthropology major at ASC,
spent last summer working as
an intern in the Emory-Grady
Summer Family Planning Pro-
gram. The 10-week program,
offered again this summer
(see CPO for details), allows
students to learn first-hand
the problems associated with
the delivery of voluntary con-
traceptive services, par-
ticipate in research projects,
work in a clinical setting to
gain experience, help plan and
coordinate conferences, and
acquire additional factual
knowledge about the field of
contraception.

Tracy wrote a book, entitled
Readings in Contraceptive
Technology, as a research pro-
ject. The book is a comparison
guide to Contraceptive
Technology which has been
published yearly for nearly 40
years. Tracy's book provides
background and historical in-
formation to aid in the reading
of Contraceptive Technology.

Tracy's internship also in-
cluded clinical work, during
which she learned many
general and specific clinical
techniques involving con-
traception. The interns attend-
ed lectures at Emory, and
presented projects before
Emory staff and students in-
volved in the program. Tracy
also participated in the
outreach program in which
members visited postpartum
patients in order to provide in-
formation about contracep-
tion.

Tracy Veal, '84, is dressed for work at the Grady Hospital labor
room.

Her experience of seeing
mothers before and after birth
prompted Tracy to want to see
an actual birth. She just
recently became involved in a
Grady volunteer program
assisting mothers in delivery.
Tracy spends Sunday morn-
ings at the hospital doing work
which varies from running er-
rands to helping in the labor
room.

Tracy also works in the

Agnes Scott Infirmary. Her in-
terests in maternal and infant
care may lead her to a masters
in public health or research in
the field, and perhaps medical
school in the future. She said
she would like to study in
England through an Emory
program in Social medicine
(which is similar to the idea of
holistic medicine). Tracy says
that an "ultimate goal is to
become a doctor and move to
Russia to practice."

Atlanta Papers Discussed

by Laurie McBrayer

"Media competition is more
complicated than competition
within other industries," said
David Easterly, President of
the Atlanta Newspapers. Mr.
Easterly recently addressed
the Society of Professional
Journalists at a dinner
meeting.

"The first step is for news
people to realize that "change
is of the essence," he said.
Forty years ago 1 V* papers
were printed per home; now,
only 3 A of a paper is printed
per home. Readership has
declined, too, although 70% of
all adults read one paper per
day.

Mr. Easterly said that now is
a time of "unprecedented
mobility." He described the

drastic changes that have
taken place in women's lives
in the last 10 years and said
that "women's liberation is a
necessity, not a philosophy."

He described the era of in-
tense specialization and said
that specialized magazines
are effective competition for
reader time and attention.
Also, the Atlanta papers now
must compete with the new
paper, USA Today. The truth
behind the recent controversy
is that the owners of the Atlan-
ta papers did not want their
papers to be displayed in the
bottom of the rack titled USA
Today. Mr. Easterly said that
newspapers can survive if they
change their format. He ex-
plained, "Running a
newspaper is like operating a

cafeteria line. We must fill the
demands and needs of the
consumers. How we present
the offerings is important." He
said that color ink is a current
trend in newspaper
publishing.

The Atlanta papers are own-
ed by Cox Enterprises, ranked
10 in chain ownership across
the country. One million peo-
ple buy one of the papers daily
and one million two hundred
thousand read the Atlanta
Constitution-Journal on Sun-
days. Mr. Easterly said that
the papers operate profitably
because they both have adver-
tising.

He said that the Atlanta
Papers have initiated a new
work-study program with
Grady High School.

Niki Tsongas, a director of
Peace Links-Women Against
Nuclear War and wife of U.S. Sen.
Paul Tsongas (D-Mass.), will speak
at Agnes Scott College on
Veterans Day, Thursday, Nov. 11,
for the nationwide convocation
titled "Solutions to the Nuclear
Arms Race."

Mrs. Tsongas, who serves on
the board of directors of the newly
founded Peace Links, will speak
at a round-table discussion from
11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Din-
ing Hall.

Mrs. Tsongas' organization,
Peace Links, was founded in
January of this year and now has
chapters in 15 states. The
organization's goal is to involve
women in national security
issues, and particularly, the ef-
fects of nuclear war.

The Nov. 11 nationwide
convocation/teach-in on nuclear
arms control is being sponsored

by the Union of Concerned Scien-
tists, Lawyers Alliance for Nuclear
Arms Control, Physicians for
Social Responsibility and the
United Campuses to Prevent
Nuclear War.

In Atlanta, speakers for the
nuclear arms convocation will be,
in addition to Mrs. Tsongas, Vice-
Admiral John Marshall Lee (USN-
Rt.), an expert of the no-first-use
policy in nuclear war; Dr. Alex-
ander Leaf, chairman of the
Department of Preventive
Medicine at Harvard University
School of Medicine; and Thomas
A. Halsted, executive director of
Physicians for Social Respon-
sibility.

Lee, Leaf and Halsted will par-
ticipate in a panel discussion on
nuclear disarmament Thursday

Theatre on West Peachtree St.
They will be joined on the panel by
the Rev. K. Tanimoto, a survivor of
the Hiroshima atom bomb.

DeKalb General Hospital
Interests ASC Senior

by Sally Mazwell

Elizabeth Walden, a senior
math major, has already
gained a lot of practical ex-
perience in the career field in
which she is interested.
Elizabeth is interested in pur-
suing a career in the field of
hospital administration. She
continues to volunteer at
DeKalb General Hospital
where she participated in an
internship during the summer.

Elizabeth first became in-
terested in hospital ad-
ministration through the
volunteer work that she has
been doing at the hospital
since she was 14-years-old.
She started out as a Candy
Striper and now works in the
gift shop. She is also in charge
of the newsletter published by
the hospital auxiliary, of which
she is a member. Throughout
her years of volunteering,
Elizabeth has done many dif-
ferent kinds of work. "I know a
lot about the hospital." she
said.

It was through this
knowledge of the hospital and
also her interest in Jt that got
her the internship. When she
expressed an interest in doing
an internship, the Career Plan-
ning Office encouraged her to
contact the administrator of
the hospital to see if she could
arrange one.

Her duties this summer
were varied, from filling out in-
surance forms to attending
budget meetings. She was
also able to attend the
American Hospital Associa-
tion convention. She says her
favorite part of her job was
"the people I worked with,"
and she also said that she en-
joyed "seeing how the
hospital worked."

Elizabeth's internship
enabled her to learn about the
duties of a hospital ad-
ministrator. The main duties of
a hospital administrator in-
clude, of course, overseeing
the operation of the hospital
but also involve future plan-
ning and budget management.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

Hall and Oates Celebrate

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1982

Last year, Daryl Hall and
John Oates celebrated the
first decade of their musical
partnership with two No. 1
singles, "I Can't Go For that
(No Can Do)" and "Private
Eyes" from the album of the
same name. The latter turn,
along with "Kiss On My List"
and "You Make My Dreams"
from the duo's Voices LP, were
among the most performed
songs in the BMI catalog dur-
ing 1981.

Even more significant was
the acceptance of "I Can't Go
For That" by the black con-
sumer, which suggests a shift
in popular musical tastes, ac-
cording to Hall. "It's part of an
amazing movement a
rebirth of integrated music,
made by and for 'urban con-
temporary people,'" he ex-
plains. "It's a sound that ap-
peals to whites and blacks and
transcends race."

During a break at a New
York recording studio where
the duo was completing the
album, Open All Night, Hall
went on to say that it's nice to
think the feeling's back.
"Warner Bros, artists like
Prince and August Darnell of
Kid Creole are \ making this
sort of music. It reminds me of
the way soul blossomed in the
60's."

A most impressive rock
singer with a soaring tenor
voice, Hall was born 33 years
ago in Pottstown, Penn-
sylvania, in an area notable for
its farms and steel mills. He
began singing at an early age,
carrying on a family tradition.
His mother sang light classics
professionally; his father
worked in private industry yet
found time to sing with his
brothers in a vocal group.

In 1966, after high school,
Hall moved to Philadelphia. "I

was a Temptations fan," he
recalls. "A fanatic! I reacted to
them in much the same man-
ner as other people did to the
Beatles. And I still feel the
same way about them today."
Later that year, at the Uptown
Theatre, Hall sang Smokey
Robinson's "Ooh Baby Baby"
with his teen group, the Temp-
tones, at a talent show. Back-
ed byJames Bronw's band, the
Temptones tied with the
Delphonics for first place.
Following the showcase, the
group went on to record two
singles for the Arctic label.

Soon Hall was working at
Sigma Sound Studios with the
city's premier pop-soul
stylists, Kenny Gamble, Leon
Huff and Thorn Bell. "The
music was busting out of the
high schools, like Overbrook in
West Philly," he remembers.
"Everyone sang doowop on
street corners. It was all ver
natural, very integrated. The
cool kids hung out together
and the best musicians would
find each other."

Hall and Oates met while
students at Temple University
in 1967. Oats studied jour-
nalism and played guitar in a
local bar band. Hall, a music
major dropped out in his
senior year. They started
writing as a team and in 1971
Atlantic released their debut
album, Whole Oats. The duo
moved to RCA in 1975 and
have issued at least an album
each year since then.

Hall does not hesitate to
appraise his craft: "I'd like to
think that my songs transcend
fads and touch on universal
feelings. The mark of a good
song is that it doesn't depend
on a place or time to make it
valid. I'd love for my work to be
judged as 'standard' in the

Agnes Scott students now have an opportunity to gain first-
hand experience in video production. Media Resource Depart-
ment members Jennifer Eason and Catherine Fleming co-
sponsor the newly-formed CATT Productions (Collegians and
Television Technology). The purpose of the organization is to
involve students in the planning and productions of campus
shows and short videos to be televised on station Cable
DeKalb. Each student will gain hands-on experience during
these productions, and all students are welcome to join.

The first organizational meeting of CATT Productions will be
held on Friday, November 5 at 11:30 in the Hub.

classic sense, although time
is the true barometer."

His self-image as a
songwriter? He says he really
doesn't have one. "I'm in-
trospective, acutally, but I
don't really think ahead about
how the public will perceive a
particular point of view in a
song. It's a very innocent ap-
proach. We use personal rela-
tionships as a starting point
and then try and touch on the
larger implications. Smokey
Robinson was a big influence.
And Holland-Dozier-Holland. I
always like the way Lou Reed
approached his material. And
Pete Townsend: I like his style.
Lennon, too. The city's also a
great influence. I live in the
heart of Greenwich Village.
And whether I'm working on
music or lyrics, the city pro-
duces sounds that are very
conducive to keeping me in-
spired. Listen to the jack-
hammer and you hear rhythm.
Car horns are like background
voices. Conversation reminds
me of lyrics. There's always
something that sparks a piece
of music."

Hall's gift as a melodist has
blossomed over the course of
his career, spanning 13 Hall
and Oates albums. He has in-
volved himself in experimental
projects, notably Sacred
Songs, his first solo album,
recorded one month after the
release of the Hall and Oates
pop hit, "Rich Girl," in 1977.
An unusual recording, notable
for the inclusion of esoteric
material and electronically
processed guitar sounds, it
was released in 1980. Hall an-
ticipates recording another
solo disk in the near future.

Looking ahead to the
release of the duo's forthcom-
ing album, Open All Night,
Hall says that he and Oates
have learned to "capitalize on
our essence. We made our
mistakes in the first decade
the years of searching for
what we wanted to do. Now
we've established ourselves
on our own terms. That's a
wonderful thing to have
been able to do that."

Sisters Sing

by Connie Tuttle

If you haven't heard the
Fabulous Scallion Sisters yet,
you've done yourself a disser-
vice. This Atlanta based band
is one of the most innovative
and distinctively original
bands to grace our fair city in
many a moon. They have a
repertoire which ranges from
music by the Andrews Sisters
to the Manhattan Transfer to
the Roches and these
ladies project an energy and
style that is hard to beat.

But the real treat is their
original tunes (three of the
four members of the band
write), and it is these tunes
that will really knock you off
your feet or should I say
haul you out of your seat. Add
to this three exceptional and
strong solo voices with the
capacity to do some uncanny
harmonizing and you've just
begun to tell the tale.

So do yourself a favor, catch

them when they are in town
sometime soon. You won't
regret it.

Deckers Trio To Perform

Deckers may seem an odd
name for a chamber music
ensemble only until you learn
that the Deckers Trio of Atlan-
ta is named in honor of the im-
minent Hungarian pianist and
teacher llonka Deckers-
Kuszler, who performed with
the original Hungarian
Quartet.

The Deckers Trio will per-
form the first of its three
chamber music concerts for
1982-83 Tuesday, Nov. 2, at
Agnes Scott. The Trio's
members are longtime Atlanta
violinist Lorentz Ottzen and
cellist Nan Maddox, both of
the Atlanta Symphony Or-
chestra, and pianist Beverly
Gilbert, formerly of the Emory
University music faculty. The
ensemble will perform again
Feb. 6 and May 1, 1983.

The trio, Nov. 2, will play
'Trio in C Major, K. 548" by
Mozart, "Trio in E minor, Op.
67" by Shostakovicth and
"Trio in D minor, Op. 49" by
Mendelssohn. Concert time is
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. Ad-

mission is free for Agnes Scott
students, faculty and staff.
Tickets may be reserved by
calling 237-8973.

Mrs. Deckers has coached
the Deckers Trio for the past
two years during her month-
long visits to Atlanta. Earlier,
Ms. Gilbert had studied piano
with Mrs. Deckers for three
years in Milan, Italy.

The members of the
Deckers Trio performed
together several years before
formally organizing the
Deckers Trio. Gilbert and Ott-
zen first collaborated in 1975
and have appeared as a duo
and in various ensembles.
Maddox joined them in 1980.

Ottzen is playing his
eleventh season as a member
of the Atlanta Symphony Or-
chestra. He is a graduate of
the Cleveland Institute of
Music where he won the
prestigious Jerome Gross
Award. He has studied violin
with Donald Weilerstein, Ivan
Galamian and Sally Thomas,
and chamber music with the

Schlesinger To Lecture

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
will be the first Elson Lecturer
at the Atlanta Historical
Society on November 4, 1982
at 8 pm. Schlesinger is known
as a historian, author, political
sage and erudite proponent of
mid-20th century liberalism.
He won the Pulitzer Prize in
1946 for The Age of Jackson, a
thorough analysis of Jackso-
nian democracy as a political
and intellectual movement.
After serving as Special Assis-
tant to President Kennedy,
Schlesinger won a second
Pulitzer Prize for A Thousand
Days: John F. Kennedy in the
White House, his personal

memoir of Kennedy's tenure.

Since 1966 Schlesinger has
devoted himself to writing and
teaching at the City University
of New York where he is Albert
Schweitzer Professor of
Humanities. Recently he
resumed work on his multi-
volume history on the Age of
Roosevelt. His lecture
November 4 is titled "Frankln
Roosevelt: The First One Hun-
dred Years." Free and open to
the public, the lecture will be
held at 8 pm in Woodruff
Auditorium of McElreath Hall,
with questions from the au-
dience and a reception to
follow.

'GLORIOUS, UPROARIOUS 9

See "Yes, Giorgio"

by Baird Lloyd

The new MGM film "Yes,
Giorgio" has been publicized
as "a Glorious Uproarious
Love Story." It begins with the
typical "boy meets girl" plot.
Although it goes through the
requisite "boy loses girl" and
"boy gets girl back" stages,
the boy doesn't keep the girl in
the end. Luciano Pavarotti,
who makes his film debut in
this charming movie, ends up
without the girl, Kathryn Har-
rold, but he does acquire
something "better" he
manages to overcome a fear
that had haunted him for a
long time. Pavarotti also
shows that an opera star is a
logical choice to play an opera
star in a movie.

The movie begins as
Pavarotti who plays the part of
Giorgio Fini, an Italian opera
star (with a wife at home, by
the way), loses his voice dur-
ing a rehearsal for a perfor-
mance in Boston. Enter
Kathryn Harrold as the doctor,
and "boy meets girl."
Giorgio's psychosomatic il-
lness, cured by the lovely doc-

tor, is triggered by a phone call
from the Metropolitan Opera
in New York. One later learns
of a disastrous performance at
the Met seven years earlier
which has so greatly upset
Giorgio.

After an early clash of their
concepts of reality, Giorgio in-
duces his lovely doctor to ac-
company him to San Fran-
cisco for his next performance
and a short "fling." The "fling"
becomes a very caring rela-
tionship, with a resolution
suitable for its PG rating.

While there are many ex-
cellent performances in the
film, Eddie Albert puts on a
splendid performance as
Giorgio's long-suffering and
caring manager. The ex-
cellence of the performances
by the supporting cast adds
depth to an otherwise
frivolous film. The
photography and Pavarotti's
voice are, in themselves,
enough to recommend the
movie. "Yes, Giorgio" is a
thoroughly charming and
comical movie capable of
lifting anyone's spirits.

EVELYN BENCE TALKS
ABOUT LEAVING HOME

Leaving the security of the fam-
ily is never easy, it has been said
that nothing is more frightening
than the escape into freedom.
Leaving Home is about that
escape, the transition from
being your parents' child to
being your own person.

Based on the personal experi-
ences of the author, this book
offers real-fife guidance for
establishing a home which is
uniquely yours, learning who
you are, making friends, and
entering into adult relationships
with parents and others. It is a
guidebook for discovering inner
resources, for becoming a
healthy, happy "family of one" ,
and it is not for singles only, or
women only, but for their fami*
lies and friends as welt

u In Leaving Home women will
find a kindred spirit and a friend
who will help us realize that it is
time to stop waiting and to be up
and doing." Cheryl Forbes

Mono Myth and Fact

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT MONO
How Do I know I have
mono?

It is suspected from the
combination of complaints
you have and what is found on
examining you. (99 percent of
mononucleosis patients have
enlarged glands readily felt in
the neck, for example.) The
suspicion is confirmed by
blood tests. It may take a week
or longer after you develop a
fever before your laboratory
tests become positive. If your
test isn ot positive at first and
it still appears that your symp-
toms resemble mononucleo-
sis, it may require repeated
blood tests to find the
evidence of mono.

When may I kiss?

This disease may be con-
tracted by kissing a carrier. A
recent study indicates that an
individual with active symp-
toms may also pass on the
disease, as a small amount of
the virus may be present in the
saliva, for some time. This is
not always the case. It is this
intermittent presence of the
virus which has earned infec-
tious mono its reputed rela-
tionship with kissing.

May I drink alcohol?

When you are well, you have
no special susceptibility to
alcohol's effects. Because
there are usually minor
changes in the liver during the
acute stages of
mononucleosis, a few physi-

cians have jumped to the con-
clusion that alcohol may be
bad for the liver for months
afterwards. Infectious
mononucleosis merely sends
a few extra "inflamatory cells'
into the liver, in most cases.
Only in some cases of jaun-
dice in mononucleosis would
it be wise to avoid alcohol for
as much as a year after the ill-
ness because of possible
damage to the liver cells
themselves. (Less than 5% of
the patients with
mononucleosis have
jaundice.)

What causes infectious
mononucleosis?

The best guess is that it is
caused by the Ebstien-Barr
(E-B) Virus. But it is possible
that the E-B virus is just along
for the ride and not the cause
of the disease at all. Some
other virus or other factor may
be the cause. Since we do not
know exactly what causes the
disease, it has not been possi-
ble to discover how the
disease is transmitted from
one person to another. There
is some circumstantial
evidence that there are car-
riers or people who are not
sick themselves but who har-
bor the causative agent and
can pass the disease to other
people by their saliva and
perhaps by other means.

How can my infectious
mononucleosis be cured?

Since mono is thought to be
caused by a virus, and viruses

are not susceptible to an-
tibiotics, there is no specific
treatment.

You can recover from infec-
tious mononucleosis without
the help of any drugs. Some
cases of infectious
mononucleosis are com-
plicated by streptococcal in-
fections in the throat (strep
throat). Antibiotics will be
needed to rid you of the strep-
tococci.

Mono Symptoms Revealed

If you have been told that
you have mono (infectious
nononucleosis), it probably
means that you have a sore
throat, fatigue, swollen glands
and changes in your blood.
But one or more of these
features may be absent, and in
addition you may have fever, a
rash, an enlarged spleen (a
lymphoid organ which normal-
ly lies just under the left lower
ribs), and even jaundice
(yellowing of eyes and skin).

How long will you be sick?
That's very unpreditable. Many
people, about a third of the pa-
tients at most colleges and
universities, are never bed-
ridden with infectious mono-
nucleosis, because it is
so mild. Indeed, some people
apparently have it and recover
without knowing that they
have had it. They may even be
able to go about their usual ac-
tivities, including athletics,

because the only effects of the
disease are some enlarged
nymph nodes, the blood
changes, and perhaps minor
sore throat and fatigue.

If you do not have fever, sore
throat, fatigue, or other pro-
blems that make it necessary
for you to be in bed, good
medical care should get you
up and around within two
weeks in most cases. Only in
one or two cases out of a hun-
dred will you need to be con-
fined to bed for longer.

Fatigue is another matter.
How long you remain tired
varies. A few people have little
or no fatigue. A small minority
will be tired for one to four
weeks following the few days
of fever at the beginning of
their illness, gradually recover-
ing their full strength and
energy. Fatigue is not the
CAUSE of infectious
mononucleosis, but the

RESULT of it. When a person
becomes tired a few months
after infectious mononucleo-
sis, it is often impossible to
decide whether it is due to the
mononucleosis itself or to
some other cause.

The rate of recovery in
mononucleosis is influenced
by your psychological state.
People who are strongly
motivated to return to their
usual activities and usually
put their obligations ahead of
immediate gratifications
recover more rapidly than
others.

Activity as allowed doesn't
slow your recovery. If you are
as active as your personal
feelings of strength permit,
then you'll probably recover a
little faster than if you "baby"
yourself, staying in bed for
long times and allowing
yourself to become weaker.

Future Shock

Alumnae Tell All

by Kitsie Bassett

Dealing with divorce, facing
the job market, budgeting
household finances, and utiliz-
ing your major after gradua-
tion are just a few of the topics
to be discussed in "Future
Shock," a series of three panel
discussions between alumnae
and students concerning all
aspects of life after Agnes
Scott.

Mortar Board, which is
sponsoring the discussions as
its winter project, hopes it will
provide an opportunity for
alumnae to talk informally and
candidly about how their en-
tire experience at Agnes Scott
has helped or hindered them in
all aspects of their lives after
graduation from Agnes Scott.

Mortar Board President
Susan Whitten commented,
"The Board feels that one
question which is often
debated on and off campus is
how Agnes Scott prepares
students for the 'real world.'
Since our winter project is sup-
posed to serve the entire cam-

pus, we decided to try and find
some answers to this ques-
tion, and Agnes Scott alumnae
are the best qualified to do so
as they have experienced the
'real world.' We hope these
discussions will be similar to
the highly successful Women
and Mindpower Hubtalks last
year."

The first discussion will be
Thursday, Jan. 20 from 12
noon until 2 pm in the Hub and
will focus exclusively on
careers. Participants will be
Mary Lamar Adams, '68, a vice-
president at C&S Bank in cor-
porate marketing; Martine
Brownley, '69, professor of
English at Emory University;
Dr. Mary Virginia Tuggle, '44,
an internist in Decatur; and
Julianne Winters, 72, a lawyer
in Washington, D.C.

These women will briefly
relate what they have done
since graduation and then
answer questions. Topics ex-
pected to be covered include
the value of a liberal arts
education in today's society,

balancing a career and family,
coping with and conquering
sex discrimination, pursuing a
graduate degree, landing a
first job, and work-related
stresses and anxieties.

The Future Shock discus-
sion series continues on Jan.
26, the following Wednesday,
and will explore the non-career
aspects of life such as raising
a family and doing community
service work. The final discus-
sion on Feb. 1 will feature four
very recent graduates who are
pursuing four very different
paths.

Mortar Board would like to
emphasize that the entire col-
lege community is invited to
participate in each discussion
and feels that the more diverse
the discussion, the more
valuable and relevant it will be.
The Board will provide paper
plates and plastic utensils in
the Dining Hall on discussion
days so that students, faculty
and staff may bring their lunch
to the Hub.

Science Hall Re-dedicated

Nationally recognized bio-
chemist Marjorie G. Horning
will speak on potentially
poisonous chemicals in the
human environment and their

relation to disease Thursday,
Jan. 20, as part of the Camp-
bell Hall Re-dedication
Ceremonies. Dr. Horning,
award-winning professor of

Mary Jane Taylor, a senior astronomy / physics and
math major, takes advantage of a sunny winter day to
study sun spots as part of her independent study.

biochemistry at the Baylor
College of Medicine, Houston,
Texas, will speak at 8 p.m. in
Presser Hall.

Immediately following Dr.
Homing's address, there will
be an open house in Campbell.
Refreshments will be served
and both faculty and science
majors will conduct tours of
the newly renovated hall.

Although the renovation has
been completed, funds are
still needed to pay for it. At
this time, $2,450,000 in gifts
and pledges has been raised
towards the total $3 million
needed. The Kresge Founda-
tion, however, has pledged to
donate $250,000 if the school
can raise another $300,000 by
June 15.

The campus community is
invited and urged to attend
both Dr. Homing's address
and the open house. "It's not
just for science students,"
stresses Bonnie Johnson,
Director of the ASC Fund. The
Board of Trustees and also
many alumnae will be there,
she said.

Junior Chandra Webb utilizes the computer in the math
department to enhance her regular coursework.

Faculty Committee

Explores Present and

Future Use of
Computers at ASC

by Marcia G. Whetsel

In Nov., 1982, Professors
Thomas Hogan, Gail Cabisius,
Alice J. Cunningham, Robert
Leslie and William Weber were
appointed by President Ruth
Schmidt to a committee which
will study the present use of
computers at Agnes Scott and
the development of computer
usage in a liberal arts environ-
ment. Mr. Hogan is the com-
mittee's chairman.

The Curriculum Committee
suggested the formation of
this ad hoc committee. Its pur-
pose is to explore the various
aspects and implications of in-
creased computer usage at
Agnes Scott. In carrying out
this task, the committee will
also study the role of com-
puters in the modern liberal
arts college.

Dr. Schmidt has asked the
committee to complete a
survey of Agnes Scott's cur-
rent status in the field of com-
puter services by the end of
January.

When the survey is finished,
the college will obtain the ser-
vices of an outside consultant
to assist in the exploration of
the many new computer

systems available and their
usage as a tool in liberal arts
education.

After this study is com-
pleted, Dr. Schmidt and the
Board of Trustees will make
decisions based on the
studies and surveys concern-
ing the expansion and update
of Agnes Scott's computer
services.

At the present time, the
committee is studying the
percentage of students who
use the computer as a part of
their instruction in their
classes. It is also surveying
the number of professors and
departments which teach
courses which require the use
of computers and the nature of
that use. The committee is
looking at the perceived exper-
tise of the faculty and
students in computer usage,
as well as their aspirations for
further training as it relates to
the liberal arts.

In addition to studying
Agnes Scott's present situa-
tion, the committee will be stu-
dying recent renovations of
the computer programs of
other liberal arts colleges
such as Davidson and Dart-
mouth.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

Time Magazine replaced
Man of the Year with Machine
of the Year. The lucky winner?
Th computer. Time's decision
to recognize a piece of equip-
ment as being most influential
in 1982 definitely makes a
statement about society. In-
deed as more and more
aspects of life are dominated
by machinery, the computer
has been a highly visible item
in business, school, and home.

According to Time, the com-
puter is multitalented. "It
predicts the weather, pro-
cesses checks, scrutinizes tax
returns, guides intercontinen-
tal missiles and performs in-
numerable other operations
for governments and corpora-
tions. The computer has made
possible the exploration of
space."

Computers have entered the
home as a new form of enter-
tainment. And like the once ex-
pensive hand held calculator,
the computer may be in every

by Laurie McBrayer

computers have entered the
classroom . . . from elementary
school to graduate school.
Agnes Scott, responsive to
this ever changing
technological age, has ex-
panded the computer classes
offered and President Schmidt
established a Committee on
Academic Computing, in-
cluding Professors Hogan,
Cabisius, Cunningham, Leslie,
and Weber. This committee
recently distributed a four-
page survey to campus
mailboxes to determine the
present and future roles of the
computer on campus.

Technically (no pun intend-
ed), the use of the computer is
a practical art and not a liberal
art. However, the integration
of computer usage within the
liberal arts curriculum is
necessary for students to be
prepared for the future. We will
all have access to computers
in the future. Knowing how to
operate them or at least hav-
ing a basic understanding of

home in the future. Likewise, their operations is crucial.

While some of us may not be
technically oriented, our
disinterest in the use of com-
puters and word processors
means ignorance. And we all
know that ignorance can be
dangerous. Time quoted
Harold Todd, executive vice
president of First Atlanta:
"Managers who do not have
the ability to use a terminal
within three to five years may
become organizationally
dysfunctional." In other
words, they will be out of a job.

According to Prof. Hogan,
chairperson of the committee,
students who have not com-
pleted the surveys may still
turn them in this week. I en-
courage everyone to con-
template Agnes Scott's role in
preparing students to live.
Don't ignore the significance
of the computer. Time
declared that 1982 was the
year of the computer. And

On Tuesday, January 11,
1983, a bill raising the legai
drinking age to 21 was in-
troduced in the Georgia
Senate. Support for this bill is
very strong; the general con-
sensus indicates the success
of this attempt. Only con-
certed student efforts can pre-
vent the passage of the bill.
For those students unaer 21,
the results of such a oiil are

quite obvious. Yet those who
are already 21 or who choose
not to drink should still con-
sider the drastic implications
of the bill. Because of the
nature of Agnes Scott's Honor
Code, raising the drinking age
to 21 may have a definite
negative impact on future
enrollment. Remember that
only student action can make
the difference.

On behalf of your dedicated
members of Rep Council, I
would like to wish each of you
a belated "Happy New Year!"
Your representatives brought
back many ideas for winter
quarter and if our first meeting
of 1983 is any indication of the
pace we'll keep throughout the
year, I assure you that you'll
want to join us!

Rep Council will be in-
vestigating several institu-
tional policies this quarter and
would certainly appreciate
your input. Laura Langford
and her committee worked
during the vacation to
evaluate the present policy we
use to approve a new organiza-
tion on campus and presented
several helpful suggestions.
Rep will also be working with
the faculty and Dean of the
College to re-evaluate our
"Pass/Fail" system. Any
changes to be considered
must be posted a week in ad-
vance in order for Rep to vote
on them. It is your responsibili-
ty to be informed, so check the

bulletin boards near the
mailroom and in the Hub. I
also encourage you to attend
our weekly meetings on Tues-
day nights at 6:30 pm.

I would like to congratulate
Beth Davis on being selected
as the 1983-84 Student Hand-
book Editor and hope that you
will share your suggestions
with her as that committee
begins to organize this
quarter. I am also happy to an-
nounce that President
Schmidt will continue to meet
with students at breakfast and
I encourage you to go by her
office and sign up for the
available dates as soon as
possible. Student attendance
at the first Wednesday con-
vocation of the quarter was ex-
cellent and I know that it will
improve with each of the infor-
mative convocations in a
series that President Schmidt
has arranged.

One last announcement . . .
You might want to keep the
digits 1-27-83 in mind! (No, it
isn't the combination to the
ice cream box in The Hub!)

Reflects Upon First Quarter

by Laurie McBrayer

President Ruth Schmidt
said that her first quarter at
Agnes Scott "confirmed her
blief that it's a marvelous
place." She said that "as a
newcomer she feels that she
sees more pluses than people
who have been here a long
time."

During her first quarter she
said she learned a lot about
the people and the institution.
She met with members of
every academic department in
their chairman's offices. She
also traveled throughout the
South visiting alumnae clubs
and fundraising.

The first Wednesday of
classes Dr. Schmidt held a
president's convocation. Ap-
proximately 100 members of
the campus community at-
tended. She said, "I missed
you but didn't notice that the
work lessened!" Faculty and

administration worked on the
Agnes Scott self-study,
prepared every 10 years to ob-
tain re-accreditation from the
Southern Association of Col-
leges. Dr. Schmidt attended
the Modern Language
Association convention in Los
Angeles in December. Also
during December, physical
plant employees raked leaves
on campus and installed
smoke alarms in Hopkins,
Walters, and Winship; the old
dorms have sprinkler systems.

President Schmidt announc-
ed the Campbell reopening
celebration to be held this
Thursday, January 20. Approx-
imately $500,000 is needed to
reach the $3 million goal for
June of this year. She resumed
"breakfasts with the Presi-
dent" on January 13. She in-
itiated a convocation series
entitled "Issues for Citizens"
on January 12. She said, "I

would be very concerned if
students went to Agnes Scott
for four years without confron-
ting issues of the present."

President Ruth Schmidt in-
vites students to have
breakfast with her on four
Wednesdays during the winter
term. Anyone who wishes to
have an opportunity to talk
with the President at breakfast
is invited to sign on a list
which will be posted in the
Dining Hall by noon of the
Monday of the week you wish
to attend.

Up to 11 students may sign
up for each of the following
Wednesday mornings on a
first-to-sign-up basis: January
19, February 2, February 16.

Students may go through
the line and bring their
breakfasts into the President's
Dining Room. The President
will be here between 7:45 and
8:30 am and students are in-
vited to join her no later than 8
am.

Issues for Citizens"

Features Alumna Activist

Longtime social activist and
human rights leader Frances
Freeborn Pauley, 27, will
speak for the new "Issues for
Citizens" lecture series at
Agnes Scott College Wednes-
day, Jan. 19. Her talk is titled
"People's Advocacy in the
Legislature." Dr. Ruth
Schmidt, president of Agnes
Scott, will preside.

Mrs. Pauley's talks and all
future meetings of the "Issues
for Citizens" series will begin
at 11:30 a.m. in Rebekah
Reception Room.

Future dates and speakers
for "Issues for Citizens" lec-
tures are Feb. 2, Austin Ford of
Emmaus House, and Feb. 9,

James A. Cogswell, director of
the Office of World Service
and World Hunger for the
Presbyterian Church in the
United States.

Mrs. Pauley, one of
Atlanta's best known ad-
vocates on behalf of poor peo-
ple, received the Mrs. Fred W.
Patterson Award for Excep-
tional Personal Ministry in
1981 from the Christian Coun-
cil of Metropolitan Atlanta.
Now 76, Mrs. Pauley organized
the Georgia / Poverty Rights
Organization six years ago in-
stead of retiring.

Mrs. Pauley's work on

behalf of the poor spans a
lifetime. An active member in
the League of Women Voters,
she worked hard to defeat the
County Unit System. As a
worker in south Georgia with
the Civil Rights Office of the
Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare, she devoted
much effort to the issue of
school desegregation. As
director of the Georgia Coun-
cil on Human Relations during
the 1960's, the perception of
Mrs. Pauley as "a lover and
respecter of people, not
causes" enabled her to
achieve reconciliation where
many others found only con-
frontation.

ASC Launches Self-Study

by Kathy Scott

Once every 10 years Agnes
Scott College (like all other
colleges and universities) is re-
quired to conduct an extensive
program of self-evaluation and
to compile a written report of
the evaluation. The Self-Study
Steering Committee will com-
pile this report and, in the
winter of 1984, present it, as a
part of the reacreditation pro-
cess, to the Southern Associa-
tion of Schools and Colleges.

The purpose of the Steering
Committee is two-fold. Not on-
ly does it need the report as a
part of the Association's ac-
creditation process, but even
more importantly it needs the
report as a means of taking a

careful look at Agnes Scott as
it is, and to consider ways in
which the college can be im-
proved in the future.

The Self-Study Steering
Committee has already met
this quarter and has made
plans that will, during the
winter term, include everyone
at Agnes Scott.

The committee will be stu-
dying and evaluating every
aspect of the college's life and
work. Members will ask
everyone to help in order to ob-
tain an accurate evaluation.

The students, as well as
other groups on campus, will
be asked to fill out a question-
naire. The questions will at-
tempt to cover the total cam-

pus life of students: living,
working, eating, and socializ-
ing. Student representatives
from the Scott Steering Com-
mittee, Alicia Paredes, Sallie
Rowe, and Kathy Scott, will
soon contact each class about
collecting questions from
them that they would like to
see on the extensive question-
naire. This opportunity to sub-
mit questions is a chance for
the students to tell the com-
mittee what they really think
about Agnes Scott.

If people don't have enough
knowledge about the Self-
Study to ask questions, the
committee would like to refer
them to the several copies of
the last Self-Study report
which it has put on reserve in
the library.

Financial Aid Forms and Georgia State Grant applications have been distributed to all
students who have applied for aid from these sources in the past. If you have not received
either form and want to apply, it is your responsibility to obtain the form(s) you want from
the Financial Aid Office. FAF's MUST be filed by March 15, 1983 and Georgia State Grant
applications MUST be filed by April 1, 1983.

One of President Schmidt's goats fall quarter was to meet as
many members of the Agnes Scott community as possible.

In The News

by Mary Morder

In international news, the
Soviet Union recently confirm-
ed that one of its nuclear-
powered satellites, cosmos
K102, would crash on Earth by
the end of January. United
States officials confirmed the
report and admitted that the
crash could have potentially
dangerous consequenes.

The ocean surveillance
satellite could endanger
public health and safety
because of possible radiation
from the estimated 100
pounds of uranium 235 con-
tained in the satellite.
However, Soviet news sources
denied that the falling satellite
could pose any radiation
dangers, insisting that the
satellite would burn up in the
earth's atmosphere.

Leaders of the Soviet-
dominated Warsaw Pact
organization proposed a non-
aggression pact with the
North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) to
preserve peace in Europe. The
Warsaw Pact leaders also sug-
gested that the leaders of both
alliances hold direct talks.

National news this week
deals largely with congress-
ional squabbles as the House
and Senate members returned
to Washington. The issue at
the top of the congressional
agenda was the predicted

$200 billion federal budget
deficit.

The Senate met very briefly,
but the House succeeded in
denying Reagan ally Rep. Phil
Gramm of Texas, a Democrat,
a seat on the Budget Commit-
tee. Gramm resigned office
after being denied his post
and declared that he will run
for the seat as a Republican.

In his first press conference
of 1983, President Reagan an-
nounced that he has
nominated White House aide
Elizabeth Dole, wife of Kansas
Sen. Bob Dole, to become the
new Secretary of Transporta-
tion. Mrs. Dole would replace
Drew Lewis, who resigned to
return to the private sector.
She would become the first
woman Cabinet secretary in
the Reagan Administration.

President Reagan visited
the devastating flood damage
in Louisiana and approved a
request by Gov. David Treen
for federal disaster relief.

Georgia lawmakers follow-
ed the advice of Governor-
elect Joe Frank Harris and
drafted a bill pushing for har-
sher penalties for drunken
driving. The bill proposes
much harsher fines for DUI of-
fenders and prison sentences
with driver's license suspen-
sion for those convicted of
vehicular homicide when
drunk.

Angela Drake First to Exchange to Mills

by Peggy Schweers

"I used to wonder about that
song 'I left my Heart in San
Francisco'. Now, I know what
it means."

A helicopter ride over San
Francisco introduced Angela
Drake, '83, to three months of
adventure in learning at Mills
College. What she learned
about school is matched only
by what she learned about
herself. The first Scott student
to exchange to Mills, Angela
has returned with an entirely
new sense of understanding.

Angela discovered the new
exchange in 1981, her
sophomore year. Ms. Dillman
described San Francisco, and
Angela decided to go her
Junior year. However, campus
activities drew her attention
back to ASC and she pospon-
ed the exchange. "Besides,"
Angela says, "I needed the
time to grow."

Marion Murphy exchanged
to ASC from Mills (winter),
1982, and convinced Angela to
give it a try. Realizing that go-
ing meant sacrificing her
Senior activities (Angela had
intended to run for SGA Vice-
President) and still unsure,
Angela set off to California.
The challenge was great for
one who had never traveled
alone, had never flown, and
had never been far beyond the
Southeastern states.

"You could take away the
people and it would still be in-
credible. I have never seen
bluer skies, and the mountains
and the beautiful Pacific
Ocean are simply breathtak-
ing. California is just built on
beauty."

Mills College is in Oakland,
20-25 minutes away from San
Francisco. It has 800 women
undergraduates, and 200 co-ed
graduate students. The
Spanish style buildings
reminded Angela of a resort
especially with its lake, out-
door pool, beauty shop and
sauna in the gym. The six
dorms were "like extravagant
California hotels." Apart-
ments for faculty and
graduate students and the
President's house are all on
campus. Also, there were
restrictions in the dorm for
visitors, but parietals last for
four days, not for five hours.

The academics of the
school are comparable to ASC
but students seemed much
more relaxed, not under cons-
tant pressure, Angela said. A
wider spectrum of classes are
offered. Examples of these
attention-getters are majors in
Administrative Legal Pro-
cesses and Computer
Sciences.

"There was a lot of dialogue
in the classrooms. People did
not hesitate to say anything.
Professors dressed as diverse-
ly as the students. For exam-
ple, one wore track shoes,
jeans and a Marathon T-shirt.
Another wore Vogue-type
clothes even a fashionable
hat.

"The people were very
sociable," says Angela, as she
describes the constant social

activity on campus. "There
were dances every weekend
and Dorm-Fraternity exchange
parties with Stanford and
Berkley. The students each
seemed to have a style of
dress all their own." Angela
found the diversity appealing.
In addition, the students were
informal, athletic, and very
weight conscious.

Mills does not have an
Honor System like ASC, and
Angela missed it in the beginn-
ing. But the people of Mills ex-
press trust in another more
personal way. "I found forming
friendships relatively easy
because they were trusting,
eager to reveal much about
themselves, and open and
sincere."

The girls at Mills were free
thinkers, willing to express
views on any topic and act
upon it. Perhaps this dif-
ference leads many of them to
be even more career oriented .
. . the freshmen, too, Angela
explained. "Most seniors an-
ticipated graduate school
before job-hunting or settling
down."

Dorm life reflects both
security measures and tradi-
tion. Almost all students have
single rooms. A full time
receptionist screens visitors,
and everyone, "even your
mother" must be escorted to
your room. Through a swit-
chboard, the receptionist can

"/ have a dream . . . Little
children will one day live in a
nation where they will no
longer be judged by the color
of their skin but by the content
of their character."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 - April, 1968

January 15, the birthday of
one of the world's most in-
fluential human rights activist,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was
a day of commemoration
around the nation and abroad.
The invaluable contribution
made by Dr. King toward
human dignity and justice
through non-violent methods
for all people is indeed worthy
of commemoration. King's bir-
thday is of particular impor-
tance in Atlanta - his bir-
thplace. Tucked away in the
shadows of nearby Ebenezer
Baptist Church where Dr. King
and his father preached, is the
Martin Luther King Jr. Center
for Social Change, a combina-

take phone messages. All din-
ners are served in the dorm,
and every Wednesday they
have a formal dinner. An
engaged student is honored
not by a dunking a la ASC, but
by a candlelight ceremony.
Everyone passes around a
candle at dinner, sings the
school song, and the engaged
student stands with the can-
dle.

Other meals are served in

tion of community - oriented
programs and shrines to Dr.
King's memory. The center
houses a Reading Academy,
Daycare Center, the Institute
for Policy Research, and the
Institute for Non-Violence.

In addition to being the bir-
thplace of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., Atlanta is one of a
handful of many cities that
have proclaimed King's birth-
day as a city holiday. Many ac-
tivities that took place during
"King Week '83" took place in
Atlanta. Events included a tree
planting, sponsored by the
U.S. Forest Service, seminars
on topics, ranging from peace
and non-violence to unemploy-
ment, featured speakers such
as Jesse Jackson, head of
operation PUSH; Dick Gregory,
human rights activist and
comedian; Dr. Joseph E.
Lowery, president of SCLC
(Southern Christian Leader-
ship Conference); and Vice
President George Bush.
Perhaps the most attended

the Founder's Commons, the
main dining hall, in a campus
tea shop, and in the Mills Grill,
a small restaurant. Meal
tickets can be used in each
place, with an ID.

The campus security checks
every car entering and leaving
the campus. The campus,
about four times the size of
ASC, has a surrounding fence.
Oakland is not a very safe city,
but Mills' is a safe campus, ac-
cording to Angela.

event of "King Week '83" was
the march-rally from the King
Center to the State Capitol.
Reminiscent of the marches of
the 60's, the march drew
thousands from across the na-
tion.

While Angela was there the
campus celebrated its annual
Boat Dance. The boat sails
around San Francisco Bay
while passengers enjoy two
bands, a casino, and a bar.
"We had a ball! It was
heaven." Angela recalls, "I
think President Metz was the
best dancer there." Angela's
suitemate won first prize that
night for having the most
casino chips. The prize was
one or two hours in a hot tub
with her boyfriend at Berkley.

"The gay aspect on campus
was exaggerated in articles I
read before exchanging."
Angela says, "there was no
one trying to pick you up . . .
and they didn't wear T-shirts
with L's on them. They had
their own parties but also had
Gay - Straight Rap Sessions to
bridge communication."

After seeing and experienc-
ing a different environment
and culture, does Angela wish
that ASC were more like Mills?

"Agnes Scott could never,
could never be Mills College!
Angela laughs. The cultures
are so different that it would
be impossible to impose one
upon the other. Growing up so
near Agnes Scott, I already
share a common culture with
it. Three years later after going
to Mills, I have a liberal,
cultural, and mental education
that has enhanced my
academic one."

Considering this, if she had
to choose a college again,
would it be Agnes Scott or
Mills?

"I would come to Agnes
Scott again. I love the tradition
here." Angela encourages the
school and students to
become more involved in ex-
changes, a process which she
feels creates a more open-
minded woman.

"The exchange not only pro-
vided new perspectives and in-
sights both within and beyond
the liberal arts education, but
also brought about an in-
dependence of mind and flex-
ibility in responsibility and
leadership," she said.

Eight New RTC Students Join ASC

by Debbie McLaughlin

Unlike most college
students, they balance
household duties with class
schedules. But the eight new
RTCs have much in common
with typical Agnes Scott
students these days as they
buy books, attend classes,
and begin studying.

According to Michelle
Schumard, Director of Admis-
sions for the RTC students,
"Eight new RTC students have
enrolled for winter quarter.
They are a really diverse group
of people and are highly
motivated in their goals. Com-
ing to Agnes Scott is a high
priority in their lives."

Continuing, Ms. Schumard
says, "Most RTC students feel
as though Agnes Scott is a
special place that has
something to offer them.
However, I think it is more im-
portant to note that the RTC
students each have something
unique to offer this school;
they really want to contribute
as well as receive."

Nina Baker is a new RTC
student from Decatur. She
recently retired from the
Georgia Power Company
where she worked for 30 years
at various jobs and finally as
secretary to the president.

Nina is now going to school
for her own personal benefit
as an unclassified student.

After a week of college Nina
discloses, "I'm enjoying
school. But, I find one disad-
vantage in that I really do not
know how to study after all
these years, whereas the
students around me have had
much experience studying and
have already begun to master
the art."

Betty McKenzie is also an
RTC student who has worked
for several years. In July Betty
will complete 20 years of
employment for Southern Bell,
and in 10 years she will be up
for retirement.

Betty reminisces, "While I
was a teen, I lived near
Decatur and always thought I
might like to go to Agnes
Scott. However, I got married,
had children, and began work-
ing for Southern Bell. Going to
college just became a dream
that was put off."

So, it is at this time that she
finally begins the steps to
fulfilling her long-awaited
dream. Betty has always turn-
ed to writing as a hobby and
has even published five
poems. Over the years she has
taken various creative writing
courses. But, as she explains,
"These courses have not
always been from the
academic standpoint and real-
ly do not give a person the
detailed and solid background
that he or she needs to learn

Channels for Creativity

Report by Pres. Schmidt

As we plan for the 1983-84
annual budget of Agnes Scott
College, the administrative of-
ficers have agreed to set aside
a sum of money (up to $50,000)
for the purpose of launching
new initiatives which will
come from the community. In
a period when we are review-
ing all of our normal opera-
tions to find ways to do things
more efficiently and with less
cost, it will be especially im-
portant to have the opportuni-
ty to try some new things
which will benefit the College
in the short and long range.
Therefore, even if some reduc-
tion in budgets for regular
operations may be necessary,
we believe that it is especially
important to give opportunity
for the community to use its
creative intelligence in making
Agnes Scott an even more ex-
citing and interesing place to
study and work.

Anyone in the community is
eligible to submit a proposal.
The proposals may come from
faculty and staff members and
from students.

The criteria for potential
funding are the following:

1. The project must be of
benefit to more than one or
two persons; preference will
be given to those activities
which are likely to enhance
the college's work.

2. The project should require
funding for no more than two
fiscal years. At the end of this
period, one of two things
should have occurred: the
undertaking has had its
positive effect and no longer

requires funds; or the under-
taking has proven to be of
such long-range value that it is
fiscally feasible for it to be
continued under regular col-
lege auspices.

3. The proposer(s) must in-
dicate how the project sug-
gested would be administered.
Proposers are not required to
be the directors, but each pro-
posal should make clear who
will be in charge (whether cur-
rent or envisioned employees)
and how the project will relate
to the current organization of
the college.

Proposals which meet these
criteria should be submitted
by February 10, 1983 to the Of-
fice of the Vice President for
Business Affairs. They will be
reviewed by appropriate ad-
ministrators and given priority
rankings by a college compnit-
tee which will make its recom-
mendations to the President.
Projects may be of small or
large magnitude. Each pro-
posal should contain (1) a
description of the project, (2) a
statement of its potential
benefit to Agnes Scott College
and its relationship to the
basic mission of the college,
(3) an itemized budget for
fiscal year 1983-84, and any in-
dication of the need for further
funding to ensure the success
of the project.

We trust that this opportuni-
ty will channel your creativity

Therefore, Betty decided to
enroll at Agnes Scott to
receive the academic educa-
tion that she so highly values.
She is majoring in English and
hopes to publish more of her
works in the future.

Before beginning at Agnes
Scott, Catherine Kaigler had
already completed two years
of college, attending George
Peabody College in Nashville
and the University of San Fran-
cisco.

In the last few years, she
has worked as a computer pro-
grammer but now sees that
her interests lie in the
humanities and in the arts. Her
goal is to become a secondary
school teacher.

Of Agnes Scott she says,
"I'm on cloud nine being back
in school. I'm thrilled with my
professors, the friendliness of
the school, and the many
facilities available to me."

One of the main attractions
of Agnes Scott to Donna
Reese is the lack of limitations
that the RTC program offers. "I
was so glad that I didn't have
to take an SAT after all these
years of not being in school,"
she points out.

Donna's main goal at Agnes
Scott will be to receive a
degree. "I had been working at
Aaron Rents and arrived to the
level of my job where no more
responsibility was being
designated to me. There was
no way I could move up the
corporate ladder without go-
ing back to school," she ex-
plains.

Laura Studstill was born in
Equador and lived there most
of her life. English is her se-
cond language. At Agnes
Scott she plans to major in in-
ternational relations and
minor in Spanish.

Cindy Smith found out
about the RTC program
through her predecessor at the
insurance company where she
works. Cindy's predecessor
was an RTC graduate* and her
boss' wife is an alumna of the
college. Cindy's interests lie in
psychology.

Bonnie Baker is an RTC stu-
dent who presently works at
Dante's Down the Hatch
restaurant in Atlanta. She has
attended college in the past
and now has plans to teach art
to children.

Nancy Eraca is currently a
licensed practical nurse at the

Two RTC students talk between classes in the Hub.

Egleston Hospital for Children
at Emory. Nancy now wants to
leave nursing and enter the
business world. She is atten-
ding a history class and an
English class and finds the

"small size, positive attitudes
of professors and students,
and the general air of
helpfulness at Agnes Scott as
all great advantages to the col-
lege."

Historian Traces Modern Family

A family based on love rela-
tionships between husband
and wife and between parents
and children is a relatively
modern idea according to
social historian Lawrence
Stone of Princeton University.

Prof. Stone will contrast
family life of Medieval and
Renaissance Europe with
modern family life in his talk,
"Origins of the Modern Fami-
ly," Tuesday, Jan. 18, at Agnes
Scott. Stone, author of the
book, "Family, Sex and Mar-
riage in England, 1500-1800,"
will speak at 8:15 pm. in
Presser Hall.

Prof. Stone is one of
America's most distinguished
historians, according to Prof.
Michael Brown of the Agnes
Scott History Department.

Stone has been a highly pro-
ductive scholar, particularly in
the field of early modern
social history. He has written

some eight books, all
distinguished by their ex-
haustive research and
graceful literary style. Among
his most important publica-
tions are "The Crisis of the
Aristocracy, 1558-1641,"
"Family and Fortune: Studies
in Aristoocratic Finance in the
Sixteenth and Seventeenth
Centuries" and "Family, Sex
and Marriage in England,
1500-1800."

Stone was born and
educated in England, where he
first taught. In 1963 he came to
the United States to accept
the Dodge Professorship of
History at Princeton. He has
been a member of the Institute
for Advancced Study at
Princeton and served as chair-
man of the history department.
He is now director of the
Shelby Cullom Davis Center
for Historical Studies.

Are You a Real Woman?

by Marcia G. Whetsel

One of the most ingenious books of 1982 was Bruce Feinstein's "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche: A
Guidebook to All That Is Truly Masculine. Feinstein clearly hit a nerve as well as a funny bone. If
the revolution in sex roles has left men mumbling into their beer, women these days are equally
befuddled. Should they be feminine or feminist? Are they to be tough or tender? Or, as Freud
might have asked, what does a Real Woman want?

People magazine's Associate Editor Louise Lague has come up with a tongue-in-cheek
answer to Feinstein's Real Men Don't Eat Quiche. The following are excerpts reprinted from
Lague's article in the December 27 - January 1, 1983 People magazine.

REAL WOMEN DO:

Love men, but have never
wished for an instant that they
were men.

Think they probably can't
have everything, but go for it
anyway.

softener.

Show off their Underalls
Spend more time on their
hair than their men.

Fifth of July" Opens

Fifth of July opened
Wednesday, Jan. 12 at 8 pm.
Performances are scheduled
Tuesday through Saturday
nights at 8 pm until February
12, with additional perfor-
mances on Sunday, January
16 and 23 at 2:30 and 8 pm,
January 30 at 2:30 (subscriber
day care matinee), and
February 6 at 8 pm. Tickets are
$7.50 and $12 ($11 and $14 on
Friday and Saturday nights).

Fifth of July, Lanford

Wilson's brilliant study of
displaced dreams, will have its
Atlanta premiere at the
Alliance Theatre from January
12 through February 13. This
bittersweet drama, praised as
a "vision of hope" by
Newsweek's Jack Kroll, is the
second of the trilogy which in-
cludes the Pulitizer Prize winn-
ing Talley's Folly.

Originally brought together
by the turbulent passions and

ideals of the sixties, scattered
by the disillusionments of the
seventies, eight diverse
characters gather to spend the
Fourth of July weekend at the
Talley homestead in Lebanon,
Missouri and find "the morn-
ing after" to be a time of
reckoning. At once poignant
and marvelously funny, Fifth
of July is a compassionate
portrait of a generation trying
to transcend the past and find
the courage to begin anew.

MM

Tootsie" Delights

"Tootsie" is a contemporary
comedy celebrating the joys
and travails of an actor's life.
Through the character of
Michael Dorsey, who assumes
the role of a woman in order to
get work on a soap opera, the
world of a professional New
York actor is explored with in-
sight and laughter.

As producer / director
Sydney Pollack describes it,

" 'Tootsie' is the story of a guy
who puts on a dress and by do-
ing so becomes a better man."
The film stars Dustin Hoffman,
Jessica Lange, Teri Garr,
Dabney Coleman and Charles
Durning. Written by Larry
Gelbart and Murray Schisgal
from a story by Don McGuire
and Gelbart, the film is a
Christmas 1982 release from
Columbia Pictures.

Toy Museum of
Atlanta Explored

It is a well known fact that
winter around Agnes Scott
can be depressing. This does
not need to be, because we are
living in the South's cultural
center. Each week we will
report on a new facet of Atlan-
ta that we have explored. The
people, the places, the events
we will bring you are accessi-
ble to Agnes Scott students.

This week, we went to the
Toy Museum of Atlanta
located on Peachtree Street.
The museum is a privately-
owned collection of two peo-
ple, Joe Daole and Patsy
Powers. Their 13-room man-
sion includes everything from
Betty Boop to Egyptian toys
which are 4,000 years old.

The bottom floor was
almost entirely devoted to doll
houses and miniatures. We
saw everything from a French
Bird Cage to a miniature street
scene of Atlanta's 4th of July
celebrated in 1900, when it
was Marthasville. There are 90
dolls which make up this

street along with a fountain
with actual running water. We
also enjoyed seeing Santa's
workshop and the first Felix
the Cat.

The second floor was a col-
lection of miniature soldiers
and trains as well as a life-size
Yoda. Also, the detailed ships
were a delight to any sea lover,
just as the hand-carved Merry-
Go-Round which actually
moves was an enjoyable at-
traction to any circus lover.
The moving train that ran
around the top floor lured us to
the trains and transportation
room to see the vast collection
of train paraphernalia.

There are over 100,000 toys
that were actual toys of
children, and they are set in
appropriate childhood set-
tings. They have something for
everyone, because we all have
a soft spot in our hearts for
Shirley Temple dolls and right
red fire engines. For such
nostalgia and memories, the
$2 admission fee is a small tri-
fle.

Basketball Seasons Begin SpOltS Up AqamSt the Wall

Bv Robin Hoffland %^

By Robin Hoffland

Looking for something exciting to fill your boring Monday
evening? Athletic Association has the solution. The ASC in-
tramural basketball season officially opens tonight, Monday
January 17. The Juniors will play the Seniors at 7 p.m. and the
Freshmen will meet the Sophomores in the second contest at
8:15. Last Monday night, each class had the opportunity to play
together as a team in a practice game. The Freshmen easily
defeated the Juniors, and the Sophomores edged out the
Seniors in a hard fought contest. Tonight, however, the games
are not only for fun but also for the record as the sometimes ex-
hausting (tired old senior?), sometimes outrageous (silly ole
sophomores?), begin the exciting race to the championship.
The class of 1983 has won the overall championship each year
they have competed. In going for their fourth consecutive
crown, the Seniors face a stiff challenge from the Sophomores
and Freshmen. The Juniors, though weaker than the other
three teams, are always capable of a few surprises.

In the course of the season, each team plays every other
team twice for a total of six games per team. Games are
scheduled for Monday nights at 7 p.m. and 8:15. Any team not
properly assembled (at least five players) within 10 minutes
after their scheduled starting time will forfeit. At the end of the
season, the team with the best record will be declared the win-
ner. Should any team finish with the same record, a champion-
ship game will be played.

During the halftime of every game, everyone will be able to
participate in a freethrow contest. The person who makes the
most consecutive freethrows by the end of the season will win
a delicious prize. Undoubtedly someone will be able to break
last year's record of 19 consecutive baskets made by Mildred
Pinnell, class of '82.

The intercollegiate season is also beginning. Last year, a
group of students experimented successfully with a limited in-
tercollegiate schedule. Coached by Jo Ann Messick, the young
team played impressively against Emory, Ga. Baptist, Mercer,
and others, ending their first season with a 3 and 3 record. This
year the team will expand their schedule to include new
schools such as Toccoa Falls as well as ones played last year.
Everyone is encouraged to join the team. Any interested
basketball players should see Miss Messick after tonight's se-
cond game. The first game is scheduled for January 27 against
Marietta's Southern Tech. As always scorekeepers and spec-
tators are needed and appreciated.

During the Thanksgiving
and Christmas break, the
Physical Plant built a wall in
the gym which separates the
basketball court from the
dance area on the stage. The
primary reason for this con-
struction stems from the noise
problem which previously
disallowed two sports from be-
ing conducted simultaneous-

ly. A curtain hung between
these two areas for many
years. Due to age, however,
the curtain rotted and, subse-
quently, fell during summer
break.

Miss Manuel explained that
the Physical Education depart-
ment had been asking for
some type of sturdy partition
for many years. After the cur-
tain fell, the Physical Educa-
tion department comprom ; sed

with the Physical Plant and
waited until after Fall quarter
for the construction to begin.

Miss Messick confirmed
that now either basketball or
tennis practice could occur at
the same time as Studio
Dance Theatre or any other
dance class. She reminded
students that "the wall is not
to be used as a backboard for
tennis!"

Tech Battles Georgia . . .
Leukemia Society Big Winner! ! !

Fraternities at the Universi-
ty of Georgia and Georgia
Tech battled it out for over two
months this fall in the annual
Interfraternity Council
Leukemia Fund Drive. Georgia
Tech's spirit and planning was
shown as they raced to a vic-
tory by raising over $55,000 in
the competition. The Universi-
ty of Georgia worked long and
hard to trail Tech closely with
$28,000. A total of 61 frater-
nities and sororities combined
their collegiate enthusiasm
and sporting talents to raise
money that will be used by the
Leukemia Society for
leukemia research.

Under the direction of chair-
man Dave Mase, Tech's win-
ning philosophy evidenced
itself as Tech fraternity and
sorority members immersed
themselves full force in con-
tests ranging from pizza-
eating to beer drinking while
unleashing their Pac-Man
fever in a video game competi-
tion. These future engineers
also displayed their athletic
abilities as they bounced a
basketball between Athens
and Atlanta and proved
themselves team players as
they joined NFL Alumnae in
the Stroh's Open Golf Tourna-

ment. However, the majority of
the money is still raised
through the old fashioned
road block; many people con-
tributed a little bit of change
to a Tech man standing in the
middle of an intersection.
Thirty-five of the 38 fraternities
and sororities participated
and were also assisted by one
dormitory.

The Greek organizations
raising the most money at
Tech were Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon with $6,800; Theta Chi
with $5,030; Beta Theta Pi with
$4,300; Pi Kappa Alpha with
$3,900; and Lambda Chi Alpha
with $3,700. Seventeen frater-
nities raised more than $1,000
in a unified push to win the
drive. Ten Chairmen earned a
just reward of a trip to the
Bahamas by raising more than
$2,500.

The University of Georgia
with its strong Greek system
had 26 fraternities par-
ticipating in the drive. The
Leonard Postero Open Golf
Tournament put Georgia
fraternity men "on the course"
to raising money with the
TEP's Sorority Stunt Night br-
inging in about $8,000. The
Budweiser Clydesdale's came
to Athens to lead the parade

as Budweiser hosted a Bud
Light Night. All of these events
combined to give Georgia a
total of $28,200.

The Leukemia Fund Drive
was established in 1970 by the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
of the University of Georgia in
memory of Ham Ansley, their
President who died of
leukemia. That first year,
several thousand dollars was
raised in memory of Ham to
fight and destroy the killer
disease. The next year the
SAE's were joined by the other
members of the Interfraternity
Council who in 1977 challeng-
ed Tech to join the battle. After
three years, Tech took the win-
ners cycle in 1981, and this
year preserved their title by
raising $55,000.

In the 12 years of the IFC
Leukemia Fund Drive, outstan-
ding progress has been made
in the battle against leukemia.
The disease has gone from be-
ing almost uniformly fatal to
being one of the most
treatable and potentially
curable forms of cancer. This
progress is made possible by
the commitment of university
students and others
throughout the country who
support leukemia research.

Reaction To New Security System Positive

by Mary Morder

Reaction to the computeriz-
ed locks on all dorm "key
doors" and the camera-sound
systems in three campus park-
ing lots has been very positive.
Chief of campus security, Al
Evans said he is very pleased
with the new system. "I think
Agnes Scott is lucky to have
it," he said.

The system has had some
minor problems, however. The
computerized locks on the
doors to Main and Inman had
to be changed during the six-
week break because the heavy
doors did not close properly
each time, causing the system
to "burn out." The door to
Hopkins also had problems,
but they were related to the
computer mechanism itself
and not to human error. All
door problems have been fix-
ed. According to Chief Evans,

Pepperdene
Lectures

Prof. Margaret Pepperdene
will present a two-session
study of Flannery O'Connor,
celebrated Georgia writer, on
Wednesday evenings Jan. 26
and Feb. 2, in the Fellowship
Hall of Trinity Presbyterian
Church, 3003 Howell Mill
Road, NW, at 7:30 pm. The
Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae
Club is sponsor of the
seminar.

Flannery O'Connor is con-
sidered one of America's most
original and provocative
authors. Born in Savannah in
1925, she later lived in
Milledgeville and attended
Georgia State College for
Women. At the University of
Iowa, she earned her MA and
published her first story. Her
distinguished literary career
was cut short by her death at
the age of 39.

Participants in the seminar
are asked to read Three By
Flannery O'Connor (a volume
which includes Wise Blood, A
Good Man Is Hard to Find, and
The Violent Bear It Away) and
her last collection of stories,
Everything That Rises Must
Converge, published in 1965
after her death.

Cost of the seminar is $12.
You may register by contac-
ting Lucie Barron, 1935

there have not been any pro-
blems with the system since
students returned this quarter.

The camera-sound systems
in the South Candler parking
lot, the Hopkins parking lot
and the hockey field are
"working perfectly," accor-
ding to Chief Evans. The
cameras have the expected
problems with adjustment for
the picture's light and
darkness, but this is a minor
difficulty. Despite the pro-
blems, Chief Evans is op-
timistic about the new system.
"We expected some 'bogs,'
and we're getting what is ex-
pected. Anytime you install
computers . . . you have pro-
blems. It takes some time to
work those problems out."

Several students have lost
or broken their cards. When
this happens, security im-
mediately (once they have
been notified) voids the card
number out of the computer.
Once a student has paid for a
new card, security will issue a
new one and enter the card
number into the computer. Ap-
proximately 650 cards have
been issued so far. Of these
cards, four have been broken,
several have been lost and
several cards have had in-
complete codes.

No other college or universi-

ty is believed to have the exact
security system that Agnes
Scott does. We are the only
campus with the computerized
card access system and the
camera-sound system. Other
colleges around the country
are interested in studying our
system for use on their own
campuses.

Both Dean Kirkland and
Chief Evans hope to expand
the system in the future. Chief
Evans hopes to have a camera
in each parking lot on campus.
He wants to put cameras in
the Presser, Rebekah and Win-
ship parking lots and one
behind the physical plant.
Chief Evans would also like to
change the type of lights
found in certain places on
campus to "sodium vapor"
lights, which cuts down on
shadows and is more
economical to operate.

Overall opinion about the
new security system has been
very positive. Most students
feel more secure knowing the
lost cards cannot be
duplicated as the keys were.
Many students expressed
gratitude to the campus police
for their hard work and their
fine job in running the new
system, according to Mr.
Evans.

Sophomore Holly Nelms uses her key card to gain access in-
to Hopkins Dorm. Security has been very pleased with the new
system thus far and has experienced no major problems with
it.

Philos" To Be Junior Jaunt Theme

by Tracy Veal

Junior Jaunt is an unusual
campus-wide charity drive
sponsored by the junior class.
As a concerted effort on the
part of Agnes Scott College
community, Junior Jaunt is a
means of "keeping in touch"
with those who are less for-
tunate.

According to Junior Jaunt
chairperson Betsy Shaw ('84)
and Alice Whitten ('84), the
Greek term Philos best ex-
preses the purpose of Junior
Jaunt. There are three types of
love: Eros, meaning love bet-
ween men and women; Agape,
meaning heavenly love, and
Philos, meaning brotherly
love. Philos is indeed ap-
propriate for Junior Jaunt not
only because the event occurs
in February, "the month of
love," but because Junior
Jaunt is a caring effort, requir-
ing unity and dedication.
During Junior Jaunt week

Jan. 31 - Feb. 7, eacn class
sponsors a fund raising event.
Although the major focus of
the week is the Jr. Jaunt
Talent Show, there is much
more in store. The following is
a calendar of events:

Jan. 31 (Mon.) - Senior Raf-
fle: Chairperson, Julie Babb.
Be a winner of a giant "gift"

Deans" at the Mansion (one of
Atlanta's finest restaurants),
and a weekend rendezvous for
two. This year's raffle has a
slightly different twist but
you'll have to wait and see.
(Clue: Something concerning
suppressed desires or
something you always wanted
to do but wouldn't dare.) Win-
ners are announced at the
Talent Show.

Feb. 1 (Tues.) Freshman

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1983

by Laurie McBrayer

Students are continually
dismayed when administrative
decisions that strongly affect
them are made without their
consultation or any time of
forewarning. The most recent
disturbing decision was the
alteration of banking hours for
students and staff. This deci-
sion was upsetting for two
reasons: the form of presenta-
tion of the announcement was
insulting and the changes
were irrespective of students'
needs and 1981-82 recommen-
dations.

On January 13, notices were
distributed to student
mailboxes regarding the
change in the banking hours.
These notices were brief and
symbolized in part a low
regard for students. Students
feel that the administration
was saying, "Here's our latest
decision. Take it. And don't
argue." The explanation, "Due
to a change in personnel, it is
necessary to change hours,"
at the beginning of the
memorandum seems to be a
weak justification. The state-
ment is hardly explanatory; it
only indicates another area
that has been cut. And

Dear Editor,

Lately, I've wondered just
what the student body means
to Agnes Scott. Are we really
considered an integral part of
the machinery that makes this
College run or are we thought
of as a monkey wrench thrown
in to cause malfunctions?
Within the past couple of
weeks i have become quite
upset with the way in which
the student body has been
treated by persons on the staff
of this College.

Two major decisions which
have altered campus life are
(1) the change In banking
hours and (2) the cancellation
of several classes. How do
banks and classes relate?
Well, it's not textbooks and
checkbooks with which I am
concerned, i am objecting to
the fact that the student body
has been given ultimatums.
We were given no explanation

students are really beginning
to notice the budget cuts.
Students realize that all
private colleges are experienc-
ing financial difficulties;
tightening the budget and im-
plementing changes are, of
course, necessary. However,
there is an urgent need to con-
sider the needs of students
and to communicate with
them. Both the announcement
and the check cashing section
in the handbook use the word
"service." The new hours
serve the school by saving
money; they do not serve
students and staff who rely on
the office to cash checks. The
new hours: Monday - Thursday
8:30 am-10 am and Friday 8:30
am-12:30 pm are hardly con-
venient for students. Morning
classes are more popular than
afternoon classes on campus.
Twenty per cent of the classes
meet between 8:30 and 10:30.
Many students schedule
classes for both hours; other
students work on or off-
campus; therefore, the
Monday-Thursday banking
hours are inconvenient. While
the Friday hours are better,
they still create a problem for
staff and students who receive

of why these decisions were
made. Supposedly, the first
convocation of this quarter
was to inform the students of
what went on over break. Why
were we not told of these
changes then?

After the effort we put into
having banking hours extend-
ed last year, this time change
seems to indicate that our
needs are of very little impor-
tance to certain members of
our administration. Also to
cancei a ciass in which
several students had enrolled
defeats the purpose of Agnes
Scott. Many of us were at-
tracted to this campus
because of its small classes
and the opportunity for in-
dividual instruction.

I consider Agnes Scott
students to be rational human
beings. If there are intelligent
reasons for these changes I
feel we at least deserve an ex-
planation. If we knew the pro-
blems we could help with a

paychecks after 12 on Fridays.
Without a doubt, an influx of
customers will arrive before
12:30 every Friday. The Mon-
day - Thursday hours are
especially bad for students
and depend solely on the ac-
counting office to cash
checks. In addition, decisions
not to offer check cashing ser-
vices in the Hub and in the din-
ing hall cause further incon-
venience for students.

Secondly, the new decision
totally disregards Rep Council
work last year to make the
hours more convenient for
students. Recognizing that be-
tween 11:30 am and noon all
students have some free time,
Rep Council persuaded the ad-
ministration to change the
hours from 10 am - 11 am to
10:30 am - noon and keep the
hours of 1:30 - 3:30 pm. The
morning hours best suited to
students' needs now have
been eliminated. Rep Council
works hard to make changes
desirable to the students.
When they submit recommen-
dations for changes that are
implemented and later ig-
nored, the student ego is hurt.

I hope the administration

solution which would hopeful-
ly better accommodate the
whole campus.

Sincerely,
Amy Little

Dear Editor:

In November, 1982, Dr.
Schmidt established a faculty
committee chaired by Thomas
Hogan, which is studying the
present and future use of corn-
outers at Agnes Scott. I
assume that Dr. Schmidt and
the Board of Trustees are
prepared to act, (i.e. ap-
propriate or raise funds to
launch a program to update
Agnes Scott's computer
facilities) when the decisions
are made as per the college's
needs and how to best meet
them.

I commend Dr. Schmidt and
the Curriculum Committee for
their perception of the issue of
computer usage as one highly
relevant to Agnes Scott and

(Continued on Page 3)

will quickly recognize the
negative ramifications of this
decision and take a second ex-
amination of the problem. And
even more importantly, I hope

WHY? WHY is there no
longer a cigarette machine in
the Hub? WHY has the ice
cream box been completely
removed from the Dining Hall?
WHY were the banking hours
suddenly changed? WHY are
there students on only one of
the faculty committees? WHY
is the state of Georgia con-
sidering a bill to raise the legal
drinking age to 21 and what
can Agnes Scott women do to
express their opinion on this
legislation? No, these ques-
tions were not headlines in
either The Wall Street Journal
or National Enquirer, but they
should be of immediate in-
terest to many ASC students!

WHY don't you join Rep
Council on Tuesday nights at
6:30 pm to discuss these and
other topics of immediate con-
cern on our campus. While
some of these issues seem
more controversial than
others, Rep is interested in
how each student is affected.
Our committees are busy
gathering information to pre-
sent at these meetings and
you should want to hear it
first-hand. For instance, when
we discuss the absence of the
cigarette machine, should we
suggest that it be replaced as
soon as possible, discuss the
possibility of cigarettes being
sold in the snack bar or
bookstore, or do students get
a better deal by walking to the
nearby Food Mart where they
receive a 10 per cent discount?
And what about Pac Man's
replacement? We need your
honest opinions and helpful
suggestions (not to be confus-
ed with complaints!) Keeping
a positive attitude usually en-
courages positive results!

For instance, I attribute the
success of last week's student
body meeting to the hard work

that students will be con-
sulted when cutbacks need to
be made. They are more than
willing to use their creative
energy to offer solutions.

and positive attitudes of
everyone involved. Rep Coun-
cil's Publicity and GSA com-
mittees organized and
presented an informative pro-
gram which outlined the pre-
sent status and future of the
Georgia legislation on the
drinking age. There was a
large audience of interested
students with excellent ques-
tions - not because the media
was on hand to offer a televi-
sion debut on the nightly
news, but because ours is an
intelligent, inquiring student
body concerned with the ef-
fects of this legislation on our
personal lives as well as on
policies at ASC. I urge each of
you to contact members of our
GSA committee (Jeanie Mor-
ris, Helen Stacey, Sissy Owen,
Meg Jenkins, Denise Leary,
Laura Langford, Kathy Scott,
and Katesy Watson) to find out
the most effective ways to ex-
press your opinions.

Your attendance at the stu-
dent body meeting demon-
strated your concern about the
drinking age. I trust that you
are equally interested in learn-
ing more about the new bank-
ing hours, the present Pass /
Fail system, the communica-
tion between administration,
faculty, and students, and
other issues that affect your
life in a more direct way here
at Agnes Scott.

You CAN make a difference.
You can talk to your represen-
tative and attend our weekly
meetings. You can take advan-
tage of ASC's small size and
community atmosphere. Visit
or call Extension 385, talk to
faculty and administration,
have breakfast with President
Schmidt, write a letter to the
editor of the Profile. You simp-
ly have to value your opinion
enough to take the initiative
and keep our lines of com-
munication open and active.

Rep Rap

by Lisa Reichard

Rep Council is busy making plans to benefit the student
body.

Policies are being evaluated such as the procedure for in-
stituting a new club which is presently: 1) A committee com-
posed of heads of campus organizations shall investigate and
vote to approve or disapprove of the new organization, 2) The
constitution of the organization must be approved by two-
thirds vote of Rep Council and 3) The constitution must be ap-
proved by the administrative committee (p. 84 of Student Hand-
book). BSA (Board of Student Activities) has proposed a con-
stitutional change which is as follows:

Another change in consideration is the pass-fail policy. As it
stands, a junior or senior "may elect a maximum total of 10
quarter hours of work on a pass-fail basis during the first 10
calendar days of the quarter in the Office of the Registrar (p. 22
of Student Handbook). Vice-President Julie Babb stated that
Rep Council "will have a student committee investigate
possibilities of: 1) increasing the amount of hours a student
may elect, and 2) increasing the amount of time a student has
to take advantage of the pass-fail option." Julie said, "The
committee will do research on these possibilities, findings will
be presented, and revisions will be submitted to the faculty, if
necessary." Of course, these proposals must be voted on
before they actually go into effect.

In addition to these evaluations, Julie said, "Rep Council will
be planning more activities that will directly benefit the stu-
dent body including a surprise winter project!

Article IV: Procedure for Establishing and Suspending Stu-
dent Organizations.
Section I: Procedure for establishing student organizations.

A. The Board of Student Activities shall investi-

gate the validity of establishing the new or-
ganization and shall give a vote of approval or
non-approval. The outcome shall be known only
to Representative Council who will use it in the
final determination of the validity of the new
organization.

B. The proposed organization and its written con-
stitution must be approved by a two-thirds vote of
Representative Council.

Section 2: Procedure for suspending student organizations:

A. The Board of Student Activities shall vote to
recommend the suspension of an organization
This vote shall be known only to Rep Council who
will use it in its final determination.

B. A two-thirds vote of Representative Council
shall be necessary for the suspension of an or-
ganization.

Social Council, Circle K
Have Busy Winter Quarter

by Julie Gilreath
Social Council Rep

It is finally Winter Quarter
and, to help students cope
with the cold weather and
heavy class loads, Social
Council has planned several
exciting events! We've kicked
off the quarter's social ac-
tivities with our Band Party,
featuring "Echo", at the
Knights of Columbus Lodge.
Social Council members hope
that everyone who attended
had a great time! Students can
look forward to an Orange
Crush TGIF on February 4,
followed by the Masquerade
Party on February 5. So that
you will be able to contribute
to Junior Jaunt and also have
the chance to see that special
someone (or several some-
ones) at the TGIF, the junior
class is sponsoring the TGIF
in cooperation with ASC
Social Council. The procedure
is: each student who desires
to do so may purchase, from
the junior class, one or more
oranges. On each orange will
be written the name of the boy
to whom you would like to give
a special invitation to the
TGIF. You can purchase as
many oranges as you want
it's all secret, they'll never
know who sent it and the
junior class will deliver the "in-
vitations." Remember, these
are just invitations to the
TGIF, not the Masquerade Par-
ty, so don't forget to ask
someone to that in ^time to
decide on a costume.

The Masquerade Party will
be held at the Egyptian
Ballroom at the Fox Theatre
and it will be BYOB. The band
is "The Dynamic Upsetters",

Spanish Professor Fired

by Laurie McBrayer

Many students have in-
quired why Spanish Professor
Gordon McNeer left early fall
quarter and did not return to
teach this quarter. According
to President Ruth Schmidt,
Prof. McNeer was suspended
last quarter because of a pen-
ding legal matter not related
to Agnes Scott.

Dr. Schmidt said, "The mat-
ter was not satisfactorily
resolved, thus his contract
was terminated."

Mr. McNeer was not
available for comment.

the liberal arts. I would like to
urge the student body, the
faculty members, and the ad-
ministration to cooperate with
the committee as it completes
its study which will be used to
formulate a course of action
as the college expands its
computer facilities and ser-
vices.

As the 21st century ap-
proaches, it is becoming clear
that the use of technology and
information to its maximum
benefit to society is one of the
most exciting and important
challenges to mankind. Com-
puters clearly are a tool a

means of access to
technology and knowledge. If
we are to meet this challenge,
"computer competency" and
"computer literacy" are going
to be necessary elements of
our education because of the
vast amount of information
and the computer's ability to
store, sort, and rapidly retrieve
that information.

Agnes Scott is at a turning
point in its history. After a
careful study of our go^ls, our
needs, and our assets, we can
choose to launch a program to
provide computer competency

for our students and faculty, or
we can choose to do nothing
to expand our computer ser-
vices. If we take the later
course, I believe that we will
be making a grave error, since
we will be passing up the op-
portunity to move into the 21st
century equipped to face the
challenges which lie ahead in
our careers, our continuing
education, and our personal
lives.

Respectfully submitted,
Marcia G. Whetsel
Associate Editor

and they will be playing from 9
pm to 1 am. Costumes can be
rented from the Blackfriars, so
if you'd like to do so, ask a
Blackfriar for details soon.
Another TGIF will be held on
March 4, so stay tuned for fur-
ther developments!

Circle K, an active new club
on campus, is a collegiate
community service organiza-
tion which promotes leader-
ship, fellowship, and above all,
service to the community. The
ASC Chapter was chartered in
May 1981 and at this time is 28
members strong.

Major Circle K service pro-
jects include tutoring at Ren-

but also as a chance to
develop their own leadership
skills whether that be running
for a district or international
Circle K office or attending
workshops.

Membership is open to all
ASC students, and the
meetings are held every Mon-
day at 5:15 pm in the Faculty
Dining Room.

In The News

by Mary Morder

The troubles and disarray of
the White House provided
much of the news this week.
President Reagan had to hold
a rare press briefing to em-
phasize that he makes the
decisions and to deny that his
economic and arms control
policies were out of control.
The President had to replace
Health and Human Services
Secretary Richard Schweiker.
Reagan also fired the Chief of
the Arms Control and Disar-
mament Agency, Eugene
Rostow, and nominated Ken-
neth Adelman as his replace-
ment.

In international news, the
three-week deadlock on the
Israeli-Lebanese peace talks
was finally broken when
negotiators for the two coun-
tries agreed on an agenda that
outlines security ar-

rangements and steps for ter-
minating the state of war and
the withdrawal of Israeli
troops.

Georgia's new governor. Joe
Frank Harris, participated in
inauguration festivities on
Tuesday, Jan. 11. Two days
later, the new governor pro-
posed a record $4,018 billion
state budget and a broad
legislative package that in-
cluded a bill that would stiffen
penalties felt by drunk drivers
and a bill requiring an equal
number of jury strikes for pro-
secution and defense at-
torneys.

A federal judge has ordered
a new trial for convicted
murderer Jack Patts. The
murder conviction was upheld,
but Potts was ordered to be re-
tried on a kidnapping convic-
tion because of trial errors
made by the trial judge and
prosecutor.

Haworth Criticizes Present Nuclear Policy

by Debbie McLaughlin

Prof. Steven Haworth of the
Political Science Department
kicked off the "Issues for
Citizens" convocation series
on Wed., Jan. 12. His lecture
was entitled, "On the
Possibilities of Nuclear War."

According to Mr. Haworth,
"The Cuban Missile Crises of
October 1962 was the closest
the U.S. has ever come to a
nuclear war. However, the U.S.
is potentially closer to a
nuclear war today than any
time since, and it is growing
closer."

"The only thing that this
country requires is a flash
point, a dramatic influence
that will erupt in a nuclear war.
There are plenty of these
around the world right now
with upset in Poland, the
Mideast (Persian Gulf), Central
America, and in general with
the growing malaise caused
by world-wide depression,"
Mr. Haworth emphasized.

Interestingly, the political
science professor pointed out
that there has always been a
dangerous anomaly in U.S.
nuclear strategy. "On one
hand the U.S. has avowed a
doctrine of second strike
deterrent capability to keep
nuclear war unthinkable;
however, the U.S. would feel
compelled to start a nuclear
war in Europe if that area were
hit by the Soviet Union," he
said. This anomaly became
particularly dangerous when,
by the 1970's, the Soviet se-
cond strike capability was
devastating.

Dr. Haworth continued,
"This inconsistency in U.S.
policy, that we would start a
nuclear war in Europe, and
that the Soviet Union could
devastate us in return, led to a
number of destabilizing
developments."

President Charles de Gaulle
of France became concerned
that the U.S. might not be will-
ing to commit suicide over
Europe, so the French increas-
ed their nuclear force. Also,
the U.S. adopted a weapon
strategy with the development
of MIRV (Multiple Independent
Re-entry Targeted Vehicle).
These 16,000 individually
delivered weapons were
destabilizing in high numbers
and with great accuracy to
target Soviet weapons.

More shockingly, however,

Mr. Haworth said, "In the
Presidential Directive 59 of
1980, the Carter Administra-
tion announced that the U.S.
was willing to fight limited
nuclear war."

In effect, fears were serious-
ly raised in Nov. 1980 with the
Reagan election. There had
now been a fundamental shift
in 30 years of avowed
American nuclear doctrine. Up
to 1980, the aim at American
nuclear' doctrine was to pre-
vent nuclear war from happen-
ing; now the U.S. is prepared
to win nuclear war.

According to Mr. Haworth,
there began a host of embar-
rassing Reagan administra-
tion statements concerning
nuclear war. Walter Chipman
of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency is known
for saying, "The U.S. and its in-
stitutions would survive total
nuclear war, like an anthill sur-
vives calamity." Charles Kup-
perman of the A.C.D.A. has

two to four years to rebuild
from total nuclear war; with
enough shovels to pass
around, everybody's going to
make it . . . It's the dirt that
does it."

In a press conference during
1981, President Reagan
himself saw the possibility of
limiting a nuclear war to
Europe. Dr. Haworth included
Reagan as saying, "The Soviet
Union is the source of all the
world's hot spots; it is the
U.S.'s purpose to restructure
Soviet society."

Recently, the National
Security Council has sup-
ported a plan declaring U.S. in-
tention to develop the nuclear
arms to fight and win a pro-
tracted nuclear war with the
Soviet Union. From Mr.
Haworth's viewpoint, "Presi-
dent Reagan realizes he can't
sell the tremendously costly
armament policy on such ag-
gressive statements. So, he
puts a cover-up on these pre-

"Our current system is not
to catch up. Our policy is to
stay ahead and increase our
lead," Mr. Haworth stated.

said, "Any society can survive
total nuclear war; it is largely a
physics problem."

Nevertheless, Mr. Haworth
admitted that he has a favorite
among these quips. T.K. Jones
of the Department Under the
Secretary of Defense stated,
"It would only take the U.S.

war policies with talk of U.S.
inferiority and its window of
vulnerability. According to
Reagan, the U.S. needs an
arms build-up to catch-up."

Mr. Haworth professed that
this is "simply not true." He
supported his opinion with a
list of statistics. "The U.S. has
10,000 strategic weapons to
the Soviet Union's 8,000. Our
country has 3,000 submarine
missiles on station compared
to 300 for the Soviet Union.
Also, the U.S. has 20,000 tac-
tical weapons to the soviet
Union's 12,000. Overall, the
U.S. has 12,000 deliverable
weapons, and the Soviet Union
has 8,000," he said.

Yet, Mr. Haworth noted,
"The Soviet Union leads the
U.S. with its land-based
missiles and I.C.B.M.'s. Two-
thirds of its missiles are fixed,
land-based, and only one-third
of the U.S.'s are. However, this
means that the Soviet Union
does not have as much flex-
ibility in strategy as the U.S.
And, if Reagan says that the
U.S. has a window of
vulnerability, then the Soviet

Union must have a front door
wide open."

"One can make two in-
ferences at this point," he con-
tinued, "One is that the U.S. is
engaging in a game of nuclear
chicken. Also on one hand, our
country doesn't really mean it
will engage in a nuclear war.
We're just trying to scare the
Soviet Union so they'll back
down. Yet, on the other hand,
the U.S. is challenging the
Soviet empire to change their
political system to be more
like ours."

Mr. Haworth also pointed
out that the U.S. should pay at-
tention to once Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger who has
realized "for 30 years the U.S.
has asked the Soviet Union to
stop meddling in the affairs of
our allies. Now the U.S. is med-
dling in the affairs of the
Soviet Union."

The political science pro-
fessor brought a second in-
ference to the attention of his
audience when he said. "The
U.S. has abandoned the idea
that nuclear war is un-
thinkable. Now we believe that
it is thinkable and winnable."

Along with these in-
ferences, Mr. Haworth propos-
ed three recommendations to
the current U.S. political
system. (For the first he said,
"The U.S. should keep Daniel
Ellsberg's formula from a
1960's article in mind when the
country is developing new
weapon systems. The defense
policy analyst suggested that
the U.S. should not judge
nuclear weapons in terms of
good or bad but whether they
are of first or second strike
capability."

As a second recommenda-
tion, Dr. Haworth would en-
courage President Reagan to
adopt a Comprehensive Test
Ban Treaty, which would
cease testing of nuclear
weapons. "President Carter
finally arranged this treaty,
culminating several ad-
ministrations' work. However,
President Reagan sees no
such need for this type of trea-
ty," he noted.

Other convocations will in-
clude the topic "People's Ad-
vocacy in the Legislature" by
Austin Ford of Emmaus House
on Feb. 2. Also, James A.
Cogswell, the Director of the

United States, will speak on

King, '64, Survived The Shock

by Colleen O'Neill

Harriet King, '64, is now a
professor at Emory School of
Law. She is also the mother of
two and a member of the
Agnes Scott Board of
Trustees. On Wed., Jan. 26,
she will be discussing, among
other topics, divorce and its
legal implications for women,
at the second part of the
Future Shock panel discus-
sion series, sponsored by
Agnes Scott's Mortar Board
and the Atlanta Mortar Board
Alumnae Association. Joining
Ms. King will be Lucia Howard
Sizemore, '65, Jean Salter
Reeves, '59, and Sally Tucker
Lee, 70. The discussion is
from 12 til 2 pm in the Hub.
Once again, paper plates will
be available in the Dining Hall
so that students may bring
their lunches over to the Hub.

Upon graduating from
Agnes Scott, Ms. King attend-
ed Vanderbilt where she
received her law degree (J.R.),
and then to Harvard where she
received her master's degree
(L.L.M.). Although her father
was also a law professor, Ms.
King says that when she was
at Agnes Scott she had no
clear ambition to study law.
When Vanderbilt offered her a
full tuition scholarship, she
went as it was her "best
offer." "I was not qualified to
teach and I didn't have anyone
to marry," she commented.
"Those were about the only
options open to a woman in
1964."

Although she did practice
law for a time, Ms. King says
she likes teaching and is hap-
py to be involved in education.
"It's part of the conditioning,"
she says. "Little girls grow up
to be teachers."

From her perspective as a
professor of graduate
students, Ms. King rates
Agnes Scott highly. She finds
that Scott graduates do well in
law school and tend to rank
very high in their classes. She

finds the academic standards
of her alma mater to be very
good. "In that sense, it
prepares its students well."

When Ms. King attended
Agnes Scott, she found it to be
the "repressive parent" she
had never had. Raised in a
rather relaxed home, she came
to a school where she was not
allowed to drink or smoke. It
was in this social sense that
she found it repressive. Never-
theless, Ms. King also found
freedom of expression. "We
were encouraged to say what
we thought; sometimes what I
said surprised people."

At the time Ms. King attend-
ed Agnes Scott, a woman who
wanted a strong, academic
education had little alternative
to choosing a women's col-
lege. Although Agnes Scott
had a popular image as a
"finishing school" it was con-
sidered to have high academic
standards. Even today, Ms.
King says, people are surpris-
ed to hear that she is an Agnes
Scott alumna. "Most of them
are looking for someone who
is not very outspoken, who is
very adept socially." Ms. King
says she is not a very neat per-
son. She wears blue jeans
because they are comfortable
and though she always tries to
dress appropriately, she is
never "in the best Agnes Scott
tradition."

When Ms. King graduated in
1964 only one classmate also
went on to law school. Harvard
hadn't the "faintest idea
where Agnes Scott was."

During her time at Agnes
Scott, Ms. King was a member
of the infamous "Dirty Thirty"
(A group of students in the ear-
ly '60's who responded to the
oppressive social rules by pull-
ing pranks). Generally she kept
a "low profile," spending her
junior year in Europe and living
her senior year at home. Most
of her activities were political.
She campaigned for John Ken-
nedy and worked for other

Dual Degree in Four Years!

by Cheryl Carlson

The Dual Degree program
with Georgia Tech is alive and
well. Just ask Charlotte
Wright, who will graduate this
spring with a diploma from
both Tech and Agnes Scott,
and all in four years.

Charlotte managed to com-
plete her dual degree in less
than five years by attending
summer school at Tech and
taking accelerated courses.
As a result she is job hunting
along with her Agnes Scott
classmates.

Charlotte's major at Scott
was math, and her major at
Tech is management science.
She feels that the combination
will give her a competitive
edge in her chosen field of
systems analysis.

When asked about the
drawbacks of the program,
Charlotte began by saying,
"I'm not crazy about Tech."
She cited large classes, imper-
sonal professors and difficulty
in meeting people as three of
the more negative aspects she
has encountered.

However, she said she feels

very strongly that the dual
degree program is a wonderful
opportunity, and her advice to
others who might be consider-
ing the program is "to take ad-
vantage of the excellent
science and math courses
available at Scott."

Charlotte said she has re-
mained very close to her
friends here, and that she real-
ly appreciates the value of her
liberal arts education. Her
future plans center on her im-
pending wedding in July, at
which point she will move to
Augusta where her fiancee is
currently employed.

ed to say what she thought." Ms. king is now a professor at
Emory.

local elections, was involved
in integration, and in an effort
to bring all the Atlanta area
colleges, including the black
colleges, together for cultural
events.

As an alumna and a
graduate school professor,
Ms. King's advice to today's
Agnes Scott students is to get
the greatest breadth of educa-
tion possible. College is "the
best years of your life, it is the
only time you can study and
think without too many out-
side responsibilities. Take ad-
vantage of it."

Too many of the law
students Ms. King sees lack
historical perspective and a
knowledge of contemporary
politics and economics.
Students should take this op-
portunity to get a broad
knowledge of the world. Agnes
Scott students, according to
Ms. King, have the "finest
teachers that exist on the face
of the earth." Small classes
and excellent teachers who
"really care" are an opportuni-
ty not to be missed. "Take ad-
vantage of it, pick their brains,
challenge them, use Agnes
Scott well." Ms. King found
that her years at Agnes Scott
were the first time she was
"treated as if I had a mind
worth using."

PAGE 6 THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

ASC Opera Previewed

by Mary MacKinnon

"La Canterina of The
Songstress" will be presented
by the Agnes Scott Music
Department on Feb. 14 and 15.
This evening of opera will
feature an operatic work com-
posed by Joseph Haydn. The
performance will feature a
double cast that is to say,
one cast will perform on Mon-
day night, and the other cast
will perform on Tuesday night.
The principal characters of the
opera and the cast will be as
follows: Gasparinas, the
leadina ladv soDrano. will be
portrayed by Marietta Street
and Kristen Sojourner. Ap-
pollonias, the theatre mother
of Gasparinas, will be played
by Louise Gravely and Julie
Gilreath. The role of Don Et-

tore is a pants role in other
words, a female portrays a
male role in this case to be
played by Katie Milligan and
Ann Weaver. Incidentally, the
pants role concept was in-
stituted in Mozart's operas.
The only role portrayed by a
male is that of Don Pelagio, a
tenor part, to be performed by
Rick Phillips. (Rick is the on-
ly member of the cast perform-
ing both nights.) Christy
Wilson will be the accom-
panist. There will also be a
chamber orchestra accom-
paniment, directed by Prof.
Ron Byrnside. Jean Lemonds
will be directing the opera.

Haydn's opera is an "opera
buffa" a comic opera in one
act. It is a recitative work, in

which there is no spoken
dialogue, only "aria," or sung
dialogue. The main action of
the opera centers around
Gasparinas, a self-centered
woman, who has won the af-
fections of the two men, Don
Ettore and Don Pelagio, men
for whom she does not return
affection. However, she enter-
tains with both of them
because all she really wants
from them is money and atten-
tion. Another factor in the
story includes music lessons
taught to Gasparinas by Don
Pelagio. All in all, the opera
promises to be very funny,
making the evening of opera
enjoyable. The performance
will begin at 8:15 both nights,
in Gaines Auditorium, Presser
Hall. Admission is free.

Immorality Play, by James
Yaffe (February 16 27), is a
whodunit mystery with a
philosophical beat, set in a
small college town. When the
in-fighting between faculty
members in a college
philosophy department ex-
plodes into murder, an elderly
professor is the prime
suspect.

The professor and his wife
are no less surprised than the
audience at the final unex-
pected turn of events. This
world premier production will
be directed by David McKen-
na.

Home, by Samm-Art
Williams (March 30 April
10), is the story of a modern
day black Odysseus whose
journey takes him through a
war, life in the big city, and

back home to his roots in the
rural South. Walter Dallas will
return to Atlanta to direct the
Alliance production of what
the New York Times called,
"One of the most joyous plays
of several seasons."

Time Frames (May 11 22)
is an original adaptation of
Michael Lesy's photo
documentation of Jewish im-
migrants making a new life for
themselves in America.
Adapted by Alliance artistic
director Fred Chappell, this
world premier production will
be directed by resident direc-
tor Kent Stephens.

Subscription tickets for all
four plays are on sale now.
Prices range from $14 to $32, a
savings of up to 22%. For
more information, or to order
season tickets, call 892-PLAY.

"The Toy" is based on "Le

by Francis Veber. Ray Stark,
intrigued by the French movie,
felt that its comic premise was
universal and would travel well
to a new locale such as the
deep South. Equally impor-
tant, its principal roles were
ideally suited to the unique
talents of Pryor and Gleason,
who had never teamed on

The University of New
Orleans will sponsor its 10th
annual session of UNO-
Innsbruck, an International
Summer School in Innsbruck,
Austria. This educational and
travel program will involve
over 250 students and some 30
faculty and staff members for
the summer of 1983. Also
teaching with UNO-Innsbruck
will be former U. S. Senator
Dick Clark of Iowa. Senator
Clark earned his M.A. from the
University of Iowa and taught
for several years before enter-
ing politics. He has served on
important committees in the
U.S. Senate and is now con-
sidered to be a brilliant lec-
turer on college and university
campuses.

"UNO's popular Alpine sum-
mer school attracted students
from 36 different universities
and four foreign countries last
year," said Carl Wagner,
Assistant to the Dean of Inter-
national Study Programs at
UNO. "As a result, UNO-
Innsbruck is now the largest
overseas summer school of-
fered by any American univer-
sity."

Applicants are already lin-
ing up for the summer of 1983.
Part of the secret may be that

more than 70 courses in 19 dif-
ferent subject areas are
available in the magnificent
Innsbruck setting in the heart
of Central Europe. While you
earn up to 10 semester hours
of credit or audit, your
classroom is surrounded by
the Tyrolean Alps, whose
peaks are always snow-
capped.

Naturally, courses focus on
the cultural, historic, social
and economic traditions of
Europe, but geology, busi-
ness, education and math are
also taught. All instruction is
in English, and faculty from
American universities as well
as the University of Innsbruck
participate. All credits are fully
transferrable.

Gaines Auditorium Jan. 12,
1983 to see the National
Shakespeare Company's per-
formance of King Lear. The
company used creative stag-
ing while preserving much of
the emotional intensity of the
play.

The set was simple but con-
trasted with curious torn
strips of material draped
across the top of the stage.
Three pillars had dragons
painted on them, conveying
the Chinese flavor of the play.
The music, abstract jazz
sounds, was played weakly
and was sometimes out of
sync with the slow motion
movements of the actors.

The men wore long tunics,
tights, padded belly-belts and
shoes with pointed toes. They
carried long, wooden sticks as
weapons. Goneril and Regan
wore exaggerated make-up
and brilliantly colored outfits,
baring their shoulders. In con-

trast, Cordelia wore flowing
white scarves, looking like a
nun in habit. These non-
traditional (i.e., non -
Elizabethan) costumes and set
were not the only extent of the
company's creativity. The first
scene was switched with the
second scene (Act I),
highlighting Edmund and em-
phasizing his role.

Unfortunately, the
company's performance was
spotty. Three actors are new
additions and their roles suf-
fered from unfamiliarity.

Mykael O'Strutheain's per-
formance of Lear was good.
He transformed the king from
pomposity to insane
understanding with skill.

Cordelia was performed
weakly, as the role has a
tendency towards weakness.
The actress, a late addition to
the company, needs to mature
the role. Her sisters, Goneril,
Jean Tafler, and Regan,
Sharon Frei, were a fearsome
pair. They flashed their

vengeance throughout the
play with obvious ease.

Gloucester, played by Alfred
Casas, reminded me first of
Ted Baxter on the old "Mary
Tyler Moore Show." Later his
character rose above the un-
fortunate costume he wore
and depicted a sad, lonely old
man, duped by his bastard
son.

Edmund (Michael Perez)
spread trouble to the two
families with enjoyed convic-
tion. He was both a convincing
villain, and a charming
gentleman.

When Edgar says, "Edgar, I
nothing am," it describes
somewhat how the character
was portrayed. Russel Wilson
was adequate but perhaps too
yielding to Edmund's conniv-
ing.

Pat Kennerly, until recently
the production manager,
played Albany and needs
some more time to relax on the
stage. James Deschanes, as

Cornwall, is snide and ex-
plosive, when he attacks
Gloucester's eyes.

Louis J. Fischer, as the fool,
was dynamic. He brings Lear
through his madness wonder-
fully. The scene in which the
Fool meets Poor Tom / Edgar
is especially funny.

King Lear, like most
Shakespeare's plays, will have

PAGE 7

a long lifespan. It is refreshing

to see an attempted new ap-
proach rather than to see a
practiced, tepid performance.
Shakespeare's stage direc-
tions and set descriptions are
limited, so there is no way to
say there is one way to per-
form his plays. He, himself,
left those details to future per-
formers.

Atlanta Ballet Offers
Student Discount

The Atlanta Ballet is in-
troducing a special discount
rate to students of Georgia
schools. Tickets for the Open-
ing Night Performances
(Thursday, February 24 and
Thursday, March 24) will be
made available at a 50% dis-
count. Original ticket costs
range from $6 to $25. For
students, ticket prices will be
$3, $4.25, $7, $9.25, and $12.50.

Visit the Atlanta Ballet Box
Office at 477 Peachtree Street
between the hours of 12 pm
and 5:30 pm, Monday through
Friday. A valid student I.D. is
required. No phone or mail
orders will be accepted.
Tickets are also available on
the evening of the per-
formance at the Civic Center
Box Office.

The February performance
promises to be an exciting and
thrilling evening of dance.
Three of four selections are
new additions to The Atlanta
Ballet repertory. The premier
selections include Daryl
Gray's "Threads From a String
of Swing," Robert Barnett's
"Arensky Dances," and Hans
Meister's "Paquita." Mannie
Rowe's "Bachianas Brasi-

leiras" No. 5 ; a 1982 company
premiere, will be performed
again this season.

Daryl Gray, a dancer since
the age of 14, has proven that
his taients lie also in the art of
creating dance. Gray, the 1977
winner of the Koin Interna-
tional Choreographic Com-
petition, has directed dance
companies in Belgium,
England, France, Canada,
Israel, as well as choreograph-
ed a dance sequence for "The
Human Body (The Sexes)" for
CBS-TV, and several works for
the Joffrey II Dancers of New
York City. His "Threads From
a String of Swing" is pure
entertainment that generates
the great "big band" sounds of
Glenn Miller. This joyfully alive
and exciting piece was
originally presented in
Brussels by the Bejart Com-
pany and is presently in the
repertory of the Joffrey II
Dancers. "Threads From a
String of Swing" is performed
by three couples with the fun-
filled action taking place in a
high school gymnasium. As an
addition to the repertory of
The Atlanta Ballet, Gray's
"Threads From a String of

Swing." a masterpiece of im-
agination and humor, will
allow the company to perform
at its best, with originality,
creativity and charm.

Robert Barnett's "Arensky
Dances" is a variation of the
1981 premier of "Arensky Pas
de Deux" which was
choreographed to display the
natural dance talent of Maniya
Barredo and Gil Boggs. Mr.
Barnett, The Atlanta Ballet's
Artistic Director, has expand-
ed "Arensky Dances" to in-
clude four couples, with
Maniya Berredo and Nicolas
Pacana performing as the prin-
cipal couple. An abstract
ballet set to music by Anton
Arensky, this promises to be a
fast-moving number, gen-
erating energy and excitment.

"Bachianas Brasileiras " No.
5 was originally choreograph-
ed in the summer of 1981 in
the Phillipines by Atlanta
Ballet Master Mannie Rowe.
The neo-classical ballet is the
story of a young girl and her
two protective brothers. Con-
flict arises when the girl falls
in love with a boy who is of an
ethnic group different from
her.

OPINION POLL

Interviewing and Editing by Marcia G. Whetsel

Should ASC Expand Its Computer Facilities?

photos by Sharon Core

The following students were asked about their background in computer programming and usage, if they planned to use computers in a future career, and
their opinion on the possibility of Agnes Scott expanding its computer services and facilities.

Sallie Rowe, Senior Math Major

Caroline Bleke,
Senior English Major

Sissy Owen, Junior Economics
and History Major

"I think it would be advantageous, yes even
necessary, to expand the offerings in com-
puters, but also to maintain a strong liberal arts
curriculum and not become technically
oriented. Computers should be used as a tool in
our liberal learning, as they are primarily a tool
in business."

"Computer knowledge is going to become a
necessity because of the way our whole society
is moving toward computerization. While I have
no experience in computers now, I can see the
possibility of using them in a career some day. I
think it will hold Agnes Scott back if we don't
expand our facilities."

Kathryn Hart, Senior Economics Major

-^y^^w- v H "I think the expansion of our computer

"^^^^mB/^^BB^St^mW^ facilities is not only a good idea, but critical.

Liberal Arts implies that a student be broadly
educated. Due to the ever-increasing use and
importance of technology in nearly every field
of study, a liberal arts student cannot consider
herself truly educated unless she is, at the very
least, literate in computer usage."

"I wish I had had more exposure to computer
programming and applications, because I feel
that this knowledge with my liberal arts would
make me more marketable."

"The group within society which is proud of
the fact that they know absolutely nothing
about computers and consider technology
beneath them, are doing nothing but burying
their heads in the sand."

Politics of Contraception:
The Depo-Provera Debate

"We definitely need to add to our computer
facilities. We should not lose sight of our
liberal arts background, but neither should we
allow ourselves to be outdated and left behind
because we are unwilling to stray from our
traditional liberal arts curriculum."

Underclassmen Teams
make a Point

by Tracey Veal

Contraceptive injections of
long-acting progestins are
now being used in at least 80
countries throughout the
world including several coun-
tries in Africa. The most com-
monly used injectable pro*-
gestin is Depo-Provera, known
also as DMPA (medroxy-
progesterone acetate), or "the
shot." A 150 mg is given and
actually provides more than
three months protection. If
taken on schedule, "the shot"
is 99% effective. Even if a
woman gets off schedule, she
has a four to six week "grace
period" when she is 90-95%
protected from the possibility
of pregnancy.

The U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration has yet to give ap-
proval for use of Depo-Provera
despite recommendations
from its own export committee
that Depo-Provera be approv-
ed for use in the United States.
The Depo-Provera debate has
resumed this month in recent
FDA hearings. The major FDA
reservations causing them not
to approve Depo-Provera in
March of 1978 related to the
question of breast tumors in
beagles according to Carl
Djerassi, pioneer of the pill, is
doubtful due to the fact that

female beagles react different-
ly to long-acting progestins
the hormone of which Depo-
Provera is composed.
Available evidence suggests
that all investigated forms of
progestogens, including pro-
gesterone itself, are able to
promote mammary tumors in
the female dogs. Other FDA
reservations include "lack of
evidence that there is a need
for the drug in the U.S. and the
potential side effects."

While injectable protestins
have gained the popularity and
acceptance among providers
and clients worldwide, the
possible side effects have
raised the concern of others.
People who encourage the use
of injectables find the method
is well accepted by clients and
enjoys high continuation
rates, high effectiveness and a
low rate of complication. Peo-
ple who discourage the use of
injectables believe the method
needs further study to docu-
ment its safety.

Perhaps the most often
cited side effect by the anti-
Depo-Provera group is the ef-
fect of "the shot" on
menstruation. Amenorrhea, or
lack of menstrual bleeding is
to be expected after nine to 12
months of using DMPA. Many

women consider this a
desirable effect. Others clear-
ly do not consider it desirable.
After discontinued use of
DMPA infertility for six-12
months occurs in a fair
number of women. There is a
return of fertility in over 80%
of women one year after usage
has stopped. Extensive
studies of DMPA throughout
the world indicate that while
fertility takes a number of
months to return following the
use of DMPA, infertility is not
a serious complication. In con-
clusion, it is ironic that
although Depo-Provera has
been implicated in the
development of endometrial
and breast cancer in animals,
Depo-Provera is used to treat
these same conditions.

Basketball intra murals
began unofficially with games
between the freshmen and
juniors, and the sophomores
and seniors.

The freshmen pounded the
juniors, leading at half time
with a score of 16-0. The
Sailors rallied, however, and
scored 10 points in the second
half of the game. The final tal-
ly was 30-10.

Karen Fortenberry led the
Highlanders to victory with her
superior skill and leadership.
All around athlete, Amy
Puckett, proved to be second
in command of the team. The
freshman game revolved
around organized plays and
youthful vitality.

Sue Feese drilled two
baskets for her ailing team,
thereby securing the title of
"high scorer." Jo Ann Messick
relinquished her role as
referee at half time and joined
the drowning Sailors. Her ex-
pertise, however, could not
stop the Freshman Force.

The senior / sophomore
competition was more evenly
matched. The well-honed Boy
Scout team bounded up and
down the court, ignoring
remarks about the age and
nicotine-filled lungs. Amy
Potts led the Scouts with 10
points, Becky Moorer followed
with five points. Jody Stone
and Nancy Childers
demonstrated senior versatili-
ty by entertaining the Scouts
with half time cheerleading.

The Sundance Kids' winning
weapon revealed itself in the
form of Robin Hoffland. She
controlled the hoops with a
high score of 17 points. Laura
Feese, outscoring her junior
sister, Sue, racked up six
points. Kathy Scott and Julie
Christianson scored three and
two points, respectively, to
place the final score at 28-19.

Come out and play or sup-
port your team each Monday
night. Times and schedules
will be printed in the weekly

'83 Tuition Set At *7825

by Suzanne Feese

President Schmidt prepared
the college community for an
upcoming increase in tuition,
room, and board for the '83-'84
academic year. Originally,
Schmidt had intended to an-
nounce the exact figure for the
fee hike at a recent Monday
convocation but inclement
weather postponed the Board
of Trustee's decision. The
Board's executive committee
met this past Thursday and
decided the comprehensive
fee in 1983 will be $7825, $2250
for room and board, $5500 for
tuition.

Though an increase in the
$7,000 comprehensive fee is
unwelcome news to most stu-
dents, Pres. Schmidt was
quick to stress that the col-
lege will continue to meet
100% of proven financial
need. "No student will be kept
from attending Agnes Scott"
due to financial reasons and
"we can continue to recruit
with a clear conscience" when
promising financial aid. She
added that federal government
cutbacks in funding for higher
education have been more of a
scare than a reality, but just
this fear has caused many
students to turn to the less ex-
pensive public universities.

Although recently more finan-
cial support is required from
the family, more is also re-
quired from Agnes Scott. An
increasingly higher percen-
tage of the college's budget
goes toward financial aid each
year. More than 40% of the
operating budget of the col-
lege is presently coming from
endowment income, a figure
which Schmidt stated was too
high. This is one reason for the
increase in tuition.

Agnes Scott has the largest
per student endowment of any
of the women's college.
Schmidt noted that this gives
Agnes Scott "a tremendous
advantage. Our fees are very
low for institutions of our
caliber and quality." On the
average, Agnes Scott's com-
prehensive fee is about $4,000
less than those of the northern
women's colleges (Wellesley,
Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke,
Radcliffe, Vassar, etc.) and
about $2,000 less than its
southern competitors such as
Sweet Briar, Hollins, Randolph
Macon, Vanderbilt, and Emory.
Only Mary Baldwin ($7650),
Davidson ($7500), and Con-
verse ($6990) are close to ASC
in price.

While an increase in tuition
is necesary to lessen the
amount of endowment interest

Hall.

that is used, a higher percen-
tage of the fee increase will be
reflected in room and board
fees. At present, the college is
subsidizing each student's
room and board by $180. Presi-
dent Schmidt explained that
colleges try to break even on
room and board costs even
though the tuition paid by
students does not nearly cover
the actual cost of their educa-
tion.

There will also be some
tightening up in other areas.
Schmidt again stressed the
importance of energy conser-
vation by individuals and by
the college. Faculty and staff
vacancies will not be
automatically filled as they
have been in the past. With its
faculty/student ratio of 1:7,
Agnes Scott is "very richly
staffed." A decrease in the
student population since the
'60's has not been accom-
panied by similar decreases in
the number of faculty and
staff. Although the low ratio is
advantageous to students and
faculty, Schmidt noted that "it
is not a feasible way to con-
tinue." The main goal of the
college is, of course, to in-
crease student enrollment.
Next year's freshman class is
expected to be as large as the
class of '85.

Schmidt concluded the well
attended convocation by
stressing that "Agnes Scott's
advantages should bring it
through this time of trouble in
higher education." In the con-
text of present unemployment
and recession, "our
economies are not that
drastic." And, although the
college community must be
more frugal in many areas,
Schmidt again emphasized
that it is important to have the
opportunity to do new things,

citing the $50,000 "channels
for creativity." In brief, $50,000
has been budgeted next year
for projects proposed by
students, faculty, and staff
that will benefit Agnes Scott

as a whole. Each project
should either be completed
within one to two years or pro-
ve its worth so that it will be in-
corporated into the regular
budget of the college.
Deadline for submitting pro-
posals is Feb. 15.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

tuperTencc ! we drft
m*rure >ndpnd*jrt
women, hfrrg at ASCI

by Laurie McBrayer

We are all aware that ASC
must make cutbacks. And
some of us have been
dissatisfied with the changes
that have been made. How
many of us, however, have
contemplated the types of
money-saving changes that
could be made? Boarding
students should be aware of
excesses more than anyone
else because they attend
classes as well as live at ASC.

One obvious cutback would
be to decrease the number of
custodial employees.
Although in times of poor
economy, I hate to advocate
job elimination, but this area
seems to be an appropriate
one to cut.

At one time, ASC employees
laundered all the students'
clothing, cleaned and
straightened their rooms, and
emptied their trash. Now,
students do their own laundry.
I am confident that students

could vacuum or sweep their
own rooms as well as empty-
ing their trash into a common
hall trash receptacle, too. I
have discussed this issue with
many of my friends who agree
that it's somewhat embarrass-
ing to be sitting in one's room
and have someone come in to
empty the trash and inquire if
the rug needs to be vacuumed.
We are all capable of serving
ourselves in these ways. The
only exception would be that
ASC employees should have
the duty of keeping public
facilities clean, for student
health reasons.

A similar situation of excess
service exists in the dining
hall, where students receive
much catering. It may be more
efficient for employees to
serve food to students, but it
would be much more practical
if students cleared their own
dishes after the meal. For
several reasons I suggest that

feedback feedback

Dear Editor:

Your editorial of Jan. 24,
1983, brings up the broader
questions of organizational
decision making. Let us
realize that decisions are or-
dinarily made with the best in-
tentions. From one perspec-
tive decisions may be good
ones, but, in the absence of
feedback from the individuals
affected, decisions can result
in inefficient utilization of
resources, un necessary
monetary expenditures, in-
creased fixed costs for the in-
definite future, inconvenience,
and a negative reaction by the
individuals affected. Once
made, some decisions cannot
be easily corrected. Of course,
any organizations must face
these problems. The major
rule is to be receptive to
diverse feedback. I believe
that we are having some good
opportunities to give such
feedback, for example, the self
study and the computer
survey.

Sincerely yours,
Tom Hogan, Ph. D.
Associate Professor
Dept. of Psychology

To the Editor:

Last week I picked up my
hometown newspaper and
was shocked by a front page
article on a dormitory fire at
the College of William and
Mary. The fire, which began at
1:11 am, completely destroyed
the 62-year-old brick building.

My mind immediately flash-
ed back to last quarter's Inter-
dorm meeting when we

discussed the need for a se-
cond fire drill. Although we
knew that our action would be
unpopular, Interdorm felt that
it was necessary for all
students to be prepared to act
quickly, calmly, and in-
telligently in case of a fire at
Agnes Scott.

The fire at William and Mary
merely strengthens our convic-
tion on this issue. Fortunately,
in this case, no one was in-
jured. However, I was upset to
read that many students fled
outside in barefeet and pa-
jamas just as I am upset when
I see this during our drills. In a
fire, we might have to be out-
side for a time and there is
always the possibility of
broken glass.

Also, the students "assum-
ed it was a drill", a cavalier at-
titude which leads to improper
procedure. Each measure in
the fire procedure has a good
reason and should be followed
as exactly as possible.

Interdorm hopes that we
won't ever need to have a
repeat drill again. We also
hope that each student will
realize that Agnes Scott is not
immune from the possibility of
a fire. Three of our dormitories
are older than W&M's Jeffer-
son Hall was. Inspite of these
building's sprinkler systems
and the other buildings'
smoke detectors, a fire could
occur here. Let's all work to be
prepared in case such a
tragedy strikes our campus.

Sincerely,
Sallie Rowe

Chairman, Interdormitory
Council

a system be established so
students can remove their own
plates. Firstly, students who
eat later often have to eat at
tables with dirty dishes: this
creates an unpleasant dining
experience. Secondly, when
employees in the last 30-45
minutes begin removing
dishes to the diner's left, right,
and even some of her own
dishes, diners are distracted.
Lastly, with students helping
in this process, fewer
employees would be
necessary.

One other policy worth im-
plementation is to employ as
many students as possible for
on-campus jobs. Many of the
jobs filled by outsiders are
jobs students could perform,
such as dining hall cashier or
hub manager. I encourage
students, faculty, and parents
to consider what types of cuts
would be most appropriate for
ASC.

By the time you read this,
Rep Council will have had
another meeting, but I think
you should know more about
the things that happened at
our Jan. 25 meeting. First and
most importantly, I would like
to thank the entire Rep board
and the seven visitors (in-
cluding one faculty member)
for all their patient coopera-
tion, insightful discussions
and helpful suggestions. It
was a very productive meeting
in many ways.

Did you notice that the com-
plete agenda for our meeting
was posted beside the menu
in the dining hall? That is just
one of the ways in which Rep
is trying to improve campus
communication. Our lengthy
agenda helps to explain why
your representatives spent
almost two hours at the Jan.
25 meeting. However, the
results of this challenging
meeting show much more than
the outcome of several impor-
tant votes.

For example, Rep voted to
approve the constitution of Phi

Sigma Tau and agreed to sup-
plement its funding. While our
decision must also be approv-
ed by the Administrative Com-
mittee, it is important to note
that after lengthy discussion,
the votes were very close. If
you have noticed in the posted
minutes, many of our previous
votes have been unanimous.
While it is always good to have
the unified support of the en-
tire board, it is also important
to have members who will pre-
sent alternative points of view.
According to the Handbook,
majority vote rules; but, in this
case, not before several good
points were made.

Next on the agenda was our
discussion of the constitu-
tional change that we recently
approved regarding the
policies to approve or suspend
a student organization. There
was evidence of confusion
and concern among many
students and Rep decided to
consider several additions and
amendments before formally
presenting this issue to the
Administrative Committee. I
hope you noticed that these
new items were posted on the

new Rep Council bulletin
board near the mailroom.
Some suggested we not
change the constitution at all,
while others suggested a dif-
ferent position for the Ad-
ministration Committee in the
present procedure. Other
deadlines and limitations were
discussed to better clarify the
complete process. Again, I
think it is important to note the
quality of the suggestions as
well as why they were made.
There are several things to
consider.

Rep Council is not afraid to
admit its mistakes, which isn't
always easy. Unfortunately,
decisions are sometimes
made without considering all
of the alternatives, some that
don't even come to mind until
later. Nevertheless, Rep is
always willing to consider
other viewpoints and to clarify
information and procedures
whenever necessary. Rep
began to work during the
holidays to present ideas
which would clarify and
perhaps improve our present

Smoke Detectors ... A Cause for Alarm?

by Tracey Veal

Any Scottie living in one of
the newer dorms (Hopkins,
Walters, or Winship) is acutely
aware of the recently installed
smoke detectors. Smoke
detectors were installed in
these dorms and in Campbell
Hall during the Christmas
break. According to Lee
Barclay, Director of Business
Affairs, the smoke detectors
were installed for a number of
reasons.

Dormitories are covered
under the same fire code as
hotels. During the period that
Hopkins, Walters, and Win-
ship were constructed, the fire
safety code did not require any
fire protective devices such as
the sprinklers found in the
older dormitories. However,

these newer dormitories did
meet the existing fire code and
were rated fireproof. More
recently, the fire safety code
was revised. Regulations re-
quiring fire safety devices,
namely sprinklers and / or
smoke detectors have been
enacted.

To keep up with the times,
Simplex brand smoke detec-
tors, highly recommended by
the city Fire Department were
installed. Smoke detectors
will be installed in the other
dorms during the summer.

The Simplex brand Smoke
Detectors operate in a swift
manner. When they detect
smoke, the "loud" alarm
system is immediately alerted.
This in turn alerts the city
police, who in turn alert the ci-

"Issues" Series To
Focus on World Hunger

James A Cogswell, director
of the Office of World Service
and World Hunger for the
Presbyterian Church, U. S., will
speak on "How Do We Live in
a Hungry World?" Wednesday,
Feb. 9.

The fourth lecture in the
"Issues for Citizens" series
will begin at 11:30 am in
Rebekah Reception Room.

The Rev. Cogswell has serv-
ed as director of the Office of
World Service and World
Hunger since 1978. He
previously worked as director
of the Presbyterian Task Force
on World Hunger from
1971-1980.

He is the author of four

books. His most current book,
to be published this year, is
"No Place Left Home," an
ecumenical mission study
book on the world's uprooted.

Over a career span of
almost 40 years, the Rev.
Cogswell has served as pastor
of two churches and has
taught at several colleges and
universities around the world,
including Davidson College in
Davidson, N. C, and Kinjo
University in Nagoya, Japan.

The ordained minister
received his graduate training
from Princeton Seminary,
Princeton, N. J., 1948, and
Union Seminary, Richmond,
Va., in 1961.

system. The process of mak-
ing a constitutional change is
a long one, and in this case,
the time was used to think of
several valid arguments on
both sides. It is important to
remember a) that all constitu-
tional changes must be ap-
proved by the Administrative
Committee, b) until then, the
present policy holds, and c)
Rep wants you to be aware of
each development along the
way which brings me to
another way Rep is working to
keep you informed.

Instead of waiting a week to
approve the minutes of our

short recess and returned to
amend and approve our
minutes from that meeting so
that the results could be

and the campus community

in knowing what Rep is doing.
I have also reminded all dorm
reps to post the minutes im-
mediately after they receive
them from the secretary and
class reps should always
make announcements at your
class meetings.

Rep also posted the recom-
mendations of the Student /
Faculty Liaison Committee
regarding student participa-
tion in faculty committees. I
hope this issue and the possi-
ble changes in the Pass / Fail
policy will be discussed at the
Feb. 3 faculty meeting. I
believe that there is always
room for improvement in any
system and I assure you that
Rep is working hard to main-
tain and ultimately improve
ours. Just remember, it takes
the mutual concern and
cooperation of everyone in-

Campbell Science Fund

by Kitsie Bassett

The Development Office
reports that it is in the final
stages of reaching the
$3,000,000 campaign goal in
the Campbell Science Hall
Fund.

Two major contributions of
$100,000 and $200,000, each,
during the holidays helped
boost the campaign drive con-
siderably, according to Paul
McCain, vice president of
Development. The $200,000

donation was made
anonymously while the
$100,000 was contributed by
Mr. Michael Carlos, a beverage
distributor in Atlanta. Mr.
Carlos' wife and two sisters
are alumnae of the college.

As of Jan. 10, the College
needed additional pledges of
$227,243 by June 15 to claim
the $250,000 Kresge Challenge
grant. Thus far, $2,522,757 has
been given and pledged.

ty fire department. This occurs
in a matter of seconds.
Firefighters usually arrive
within 45 seconds (due to the
proximity of Agnes Scott to
the local Fire Department).
Since the system is not
presently connected to Agnes
Scott Security, students have
been instructed to alert ASC
security immediately in case
of an alarm. It is important to
note that although the system
is not connected with ASC
security, as soon as smoke
detectors have been installed
in all of the other dormitories,
it will be wired to alert ASC
security.

Like any other novelty, there
have been a few, relatively
minor problems. The smoke
detectors have been set off

without smoke being the
stimulus. This is due to
malfunctions in the electrical
system, which have been cor-
rected. The smoke detectors
are also hypersensitive. Dur-
ing the Campbell Science Hall
renovation, workmen using
blowtorches set off the
system. Firefighters arrived on
the scene within seconds. In
Walters dormitory, another in-
cident occurred. A student
was preparing fish and ap-
parently the system
"translated" the smoke level
as being fire causative. The
alarm system was immediate-
ly touched off.

The advantages of such a
system outweigh the tem-
porary inconveniences. The

Agnes Scott students (from left): Cayce Callaway, Holly
Rogers and Maggie Taylor are dressed for the Mardi Gras in
DeKalb County Feb. 12 and 13. Studio Dance Theatre will per-
form Sunday afternoon for the festival sponsored by the
DeKalb Council for the Arts, of which Agnes Scott is a member.
Arts Council is also sponsoring a booth both days to showcase
Agnes Scott artists and performing groups. The festival will be
held in a warehouse at 1501 Rock Mountain Blvd. in Stone
Mountain. Tickets are $2.

smoke detectors are wired so
that the dorm is divided into
zones. The firefighters can
detect the exact location of
the fire almost immediately by
looking at the corresponding
zone code. The smoke detec-
tors allow for immediate
response on the part of the ci-
ty fire and police departments
as well as the ASC students.
The smoke detectors will even-
tually be connected to ASC
security, thus allowing for four
way cooperation between ASC
security, ASC students and
the city fire and police depart-
ments. The smoke detectors
are much more reliable and ef-
fective than the older sprinkler
system. Thus, the smoke
detectors ensure protection
from costly fires.

Arms reduction talks be-
tween the United States and
the Soviet Union continued in
Geneva this week. The talks
centered around proposals for
reduction of intermediate-

Europe. U.S. negotiators
stressed that they were not
"locked into" a Reagan ad-
ministration proposal for
"zero option" disarmamant,
which calls for the dismantl-
ing of all Soviet missies
targeted on Western Europe in
exchange for the cancellation
of plans to begin deploying
572 new U.S. missies in
December. Initial signs from
Soviet negotiators indicated
no new proposal other than
their previous offer to cut back
the number of Soviet missies
to 162 the same level of
British and French missies.

An emergency meeting of

South American countries
from repaying large debts ow-

ASC Friendship Force To Sing in Manila

by Debbie McLaughlin

While most Agnes Scott
students will begin preparing
for exams on March 11, 12
from the Glee Club will be on
their way to the Phillipines.

According to Prof. Ted
Mathews, director of the
Agnes Scott Glee Club, "This
is the first chorus to serve as
friendship amabassador to
Southeast Asia from this
region of the world. And, we
are very honored to receive
this invitation."

Agnes Scott Glee club will
participate in a Friendship
Force program that was
chartered by former President
Carter. In this exchange pro-
gram that promotes
friendliness between nations
of the world, a group of Manila
students will come to Decatur
in place of the Agnes Scott
citizens who will travel to
Manila. It is not a professional
but voluntary program.

"This is not like a regular
tour where we would be living
in a hotel together. The
students will be living
separately with host families
in Manila. The program's pur-
pose is to increase interna-

tional understanding in the
community," said Mr.
Mathews.

He continued, "The program
will consist of two phases. For
the first week, the Glee Club
will remain in Manila and give
them performances, two of
which will be at universities.
The second week the students
have an option. They can
either remain in Manila with
their host family, or go off on
their own to the Baguio moun-
tain region of Manila, Taipei,
Taiwan, Tokyo, Japan, or
Honolulu, Hawaii"

"The trip will cost the same
no matter where the students
go, for it is all the same air fare
package deal," Mr. Mathews
added.

According to the Glee Club
director, "Some of the girls are
funding the trip partially
through scholarships received
from fund raising and through
the generous support of the
Glee Club alumnae."

Apart from regular Glee
Club rehearsals, the 12 girls
who will participate in the
Manila performance have a
separate one hour practice
each week.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club

has participated in three inter-
continental trips before this
year, the last trip being to
Russia in 1979.

"From the last trip, I learned
that when Americans give
tours abroad, foreign people
want to hear music of our
country, and not of theirs,"
stated Mr. Mathews.

"So, our Glee Club will con-

centrate on an American
repertoire with a mixture from
serious to light music, French
madrigals to Gospel rock," he
said.

The students will return
from this trip on March 27,
after a full two weeks of ex-
posure to different cultures in
Southeast Asia.

The Glee Club members

who will participate in the
Friendship Force program are:
senior Melanie Roberts;
juniors Frances Harrell, Danon
Jones, and Ann Weaver;
sophomores, Angel yn
Bagwell. Carolyn Conley, Tami
Etheredge, and Dawn Teague;
and freshmen Nancy Carter,
Katie Milligan, Kathy
Richards, and Renee Roberts.

Child Abuse Discussed

Chief of the Child Protective
Services for DeKalb County,
addressed psychology classes
on the topic of child abuse and
DeKalb County's treatment

Helwig, who has spoken to
Agnes Scott students for six
years, treated the subject with
sensitivity and spoke candidly
about various issues related to
battered children.

vestigates 1,800 reported
cases of child abuse in DeKalb
County each year. Most cases

referrals from schools or in-

mous tips are not uncommon.

Of the 1,800 cases in
DeKalb County each year, ap-
proximately 60% involve child
neglect, 30% involve physical
abuse, and 10% deal with sex-
ual abuse. Only about 300
children each year are remov-
ed from their homes, whether
temporarily or permanently,
and placed in foster homes by
the court. Mr. Helwig reported
that most abusive parents
cooperate with his agency and
participate in counseling and
treatment programs and only
in 155 of cases is his staff
forced to file a petition in civil
court in order to protect the
child or children.

Mr. Helwig described child
abuse as a very human pro-
blem which has existed as
long as there have been
parents and children. Laws
which protect the rights of
children are relatively recent.

The speaker reported that
the first intervention concern-
ing a battered child occurred
in New York in 1874 and was
mandated by laws preventing
cruelty to animals. Child
abuse has become a subject
of great public interest in re-
cent years largely because of
efforts such as Dr. Kemp's
"The Battered Child Syn-
drome" written in the 1960's.

In the last two decades,
tremendous gains have been
made by the passage of both
state and federal laws which
protect and ensure the rights
of children and which allow
the courts and government
agencies to intervene in cases
of child abuse.

Mr. Helwig presented a
short film which presented
child abuse from the perspec-
tive of the abusive parent.
Each parent interviewed in the
film reported that abuse
resulted when their own
frustrations reached a break-
ing point. These parents also

shared a feeling of being alone
and having no outlet for their
frustrations. Although most
expressed feelings of inade-
quacy, guilt, and a desire to
stop abuse, these parents
were trapped in cyclical pat-
terns of abuse. One mother
reported that when she realiz-
ed that her son was a person
with his own feelings, rights,
and attitudes she began to
seek help.

Following the film, Mr.
Helwig entertained questions
concerning child abuse and
counseling. He reported that
his agency offers counseling
services to both parents and
children and also offers con
crete services such as finan-
cial aid, day care, and one time
emergency aid.

Mr. Helwig said that the ma-
jority of cases brought to the
attention of his agency are
referrals from the schools in
DeKalb County. He also
reported that children under
the age of 11 are reluctant to
admit or report abuse because
they are highly protective of
the abusive parent or parents.
Children past the age of 11 or
12 will often seek help through
the schools.

Many referrals of sexually
abused children come from
the children themselves, but
most of these children tend to
be over the age of 11.

Mr. Helwig also quoted
some interesting statistics
compiled by his agency. In
cases of child abuse, step-
fathers are responsible in 25%
of the cases, mothers in 28%,
fathers in 29%, and step-
mothers in only 3% of the
cases reported.

Mr. Helwig's final com-
ments concerned the reporting
of possible causes of child
abuse. He said that he and his
fellow social workers would
prefer to investigate dozens of
false reports than to have one
real case of child abuse to go
unreported.

February: More Than Just
The Month of Love

by Tracey Veal

IF a race has no history, if it
has no worthwhile tradition, it
becomes a negligible factor in
the thought of the world, and it
stands in danger of being ex-
terminated.
Carter G. Woodson
Black Historian
(1875-1950)

Noted Black philosopher W.
E. B. Dubois said that Carter
G. Woodson "made this coun-
try, which has only the
slighest respect for people of
color, recognize and celebrate
each year, a week (and later a
month) in which it studied the
effect which the American
Negro has upon the life,
thought and action in the
United States. I know of no
one man who in a lifetime has,
unaided, built up such a na-
tional celebration."

Woodson left the teaching
profession and gave himself
body and soul to the Civil
Rights Movement. On Feb. 7,
1926, he organized one of the
cultural landmarks of contem-

porary America, Negro History
Week, which was expanded in
the '60s to Black History
Month. This was perhaps his
proudest accomplishment.
"No other single thing," he
said, "has done so much to

dramatize the achievement of
persons of African blood."

Millions, both Black and
White, will participate in this
year's festivities. For many,
February is a time of reflection
and hope as well as love.

Ray of Hope" For
Job Outlook '83

by Tracey Veal

According to the latest fin-
dings of the quarterly Employ-
ment Outlook Survey, publish-
ed by Manpower, "a thin but
visible ray of hope for the
future of the nation's employ-
ment picture has emerged." A
slight improvement of 11% is
indicated for the first three
months of 1983 when com-
pared to results of one year
ago.

While
Western,

the
and

Northern,
Midwestern

employers predict slow paced
hiring activity, the South con-
tinues to predict hiring above
the National Average. As ex-
pected, increase of 16% is
compared to the National
Average of 11%. The highest
number of job opportunities in
the South are reported by the
construction industries (24%)
and the white-collar sectors of
services, finance and real
estate (21%). In summary
overall employment levels in
the South are expected to re-
main relatively stable.

Bulldog Beer?

From the same guy who
brought the world Billy Beer
it's Battlin' Bulldog Beer.

Well, Bill Laite hopes it will
be Battlin' Bulldog Beer, but it
might not be if U. S. District
Court Judge Wilbur Owens
has his way.

Owens recently issued an
indefinite injunction preven-
ting Laite, the owner of the
Macon, Ga. - based Laite
Distributing company, from
distributing. Laite Distributing
is responsible for the produc-
tion of the ill-fated Billy Beer,
which appeared on the market
in 1976.

Owens' decision was based
on the request of the Georgia
Athletic Association, which
licenses several trademarks
used by the athletic programs
of the University of Georgia -
Athens.'

The association claims the
licensed version of their
Georgia bulldog appears on
the side of the beer can
holding a football in one paw
and a mug of beer in the other.
They feel the representation
could lead to the belief that
the university condones the
consumption of alcohol or of
that particular brand of beer.

Laite contends that the
Georgia bulldog and other
athletic trademarks are fre-
quently used in the billboard
advertising of other beer com-
panies, among them Stroh's
and Country Club malt liquor.
In addition, he feels the print-
ing of the university football
schedule on the back of Coun-
try Club cans draws more of
an association between
athletics and alcohol con-
sumption than his logo would.
The university's protest, he
states, is discriminatory
against his company.

In the meantime, Georgia

residents, less concerned
about the legal implications of
the case and more concerned
about adding another short-
lived Laite beer to their rare
beer collection, are eagerly
snatching up the few cases of
Battlin' Bulldog Beer which
were on the shelves when the
injunction was issued.

more centralized, said Judy
Edgmand, OSU counselor.
"The university has a lot of

facilities available, but
students don't know where to
find them," she said.
"Because they don't live On
campus, the information isn't
readily available to them."

Edgmand said a program
has been started to increase
advisers' awareness of the
problems of returning
students. The program, "Sup-
port Services for Re-entering
Students," provides advisers
with information specifically
for older students and with a
list of other re-entry students
to help build peer relations.

Returning students are not
always degree-oriented and
may enter college to get only
the job skills they need, Edg-
mand said. Their scheduling is
often different because they
have other responsibilities.
The university's lack of even-
ing courses may be a problem
for those living in out-lying
areas or who have full-time
jobs, she said.

Computers
Required

Those in the know at
Carnegie - Mellon University
say that the future of America
is to be found on a magnetic
disk and a silicone chip. In
order to give their students the
key to that future, CMU is in-
stituting a new program which
will require every student to
buy his own computer ter-
minal.

The terminals will cost the
students approximately $750
more per year, but the
students will be allowed to
keep their terminals after
graduation. Richard M. Cyret,
university president, feels the
new program will be an affor-
dable one, both because of the
relatively low cost of the ter-
minals and their high resale
value.

Furthermore, Cyret feels
that graduates entering an in-
creasingly computerized world

will find both the terminal and
the training they received in
operating it to be indispensi-
ble.

University officials claim
that the widespread use of
computers will significantly
affect higher education, for in-
stance, freeing the student
from the time-consuming and
unpleasant tasks associated
with writing a term paper.

With the proper hook-ups,
CMU students can review a
library bibliography in their
dorm rooms, edit a paper
without retyping it, and quick-
ly complete complicated
calculations.

The program is expected to
be fully implemented by 1985,
at a cost of almost $10 million
to the university.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1983

One Acts Presented Feb. 11, 12

BY Colleen O'Neill

The three one-act plays
which Blackfriars are produc-
ing this quarter are directed by
Agnes Scott students. Cayce
Callaway, '84, is directing
Maggie and the Bird go
Fishing, a one-act play about a
15-year-old girl and a blind
man. Lisa Willoughby, also a
junior, is directing Ludlow
Fair. This play, written in 1968,
concerns two New York room-
mates taking a good look back
at the games they play. Susan

Boyd, '83, is directing the third
one-act, To Burn A Witch. This
is a play set in 17th century
Salem, Mass. and is centered
on the Salem witch trials.

For all three directors, this
is a new experience. Unlike an
actor, designer, or crew
member, a director is respon-
sible for the entire production.
It is, as all three agree, an ex-
citing experience. Lisa
Willoughby says, "As an actor
you are in control of your own
performance. A director has
rr>ntrol er a larger number of

"Maggie And The Bird Go Fishing" and actually catch a fish
in the polluted Cuyahoga River of Cleveland, Ohio in the one-
act comedy to be presented Feb. 11 and 12. Senior Maggie
Taylor (left) is Maggie, Prof. George Bowling (center) is Bird,
and Mark Perry is Keith.

decisions. There is more
responsibility, a lot more work
and more reflection."

Cayce says, "When you
direct, the final product is
yours, whether it is good or
bad. You are holding the script
in your hand. It's a good feel-
ing, an inner feeling of
satisfaction."

A director does not receive
the applause of acting. All
three directors have had plen-
ty of experience acting on the
Agnes Scott stage. Cayce
says, "Acting is fun and great.
I have enjoyed every show I've
been in." In every show,
however, she remembers, "I
always wondered what I'd be
doing if this were my show."

Lisa says that after every
rehearsal she is "twice as ex-
cited or down" as she was
when acting. Lisa chose
Ludlow Fair because it fit the
criteria she had decided upon
and its focus is on women. It is
a play with good women's
roles.

Maggie and the Bird go
Fishing was written for Cayce
to direct by Agnes Scott facul-
ty member Dudley Sanders.
Mr. Sanders has written other
plays. "I trusted him to come
up with something I liked,"
says Cayce.

Everyone finds this direc-
ting experience very satisfy-
ing. Cayce and Susan have
both been assistant directors
of shows outside of Agnes
Scott. Lisa and Cayce both
hope to continue to direct.
They are enthusiastic about
their first experience. Cayce
remarks, "I'm so pleased with
the play and the cast. I wonder
if it's too easy. If something
doesn't need to be harder."

As for a reward, they find
the personal satisfaction is
more pleasing than the ap-
plause. A director is "involved
in the whole creating
process." Cayce compares it
to an "artist who paints. You
are pulling the whole show
together."

"Ludlow Fair," a bittersweet one-act comedy at Agnes Scott
College Feb. 11 and 12, presents the trials and tribulations of
two New York City roommates. Cast as the roommates are
Miriam Campbell (seated) and Barbara Caulk.

Aim

"To Burn A Witch," a one-act drama presented Feb. 11 and
12, takes audiences to 17th-century Salem, Mass. for a witch
hunt. The cast of Agnes Scott students are (standing, from left)
Miriam Garrett, Julie Norton and Margaret Shippen who all ac-
cuse Dee Moore of practicing witchcraft.

Ruby Tuesdays
Reviewed

by Elizabeth
Faulkner Stevenson

I recently had dinner at
Ruby Tuesday's, a popular
restaurant in the Atlanta area.
Once seated, the waiter
promptty brought menus and
water and proceeded to recite
the daily specials which in-
cluded fettucini carbona,
quiche Lorraine, and roasted
pheasant cooked in duck
sauce, all of which sounded
quite delectable. I decided to
try the salad bar which proved
to be a good selection. It was
"all you could eat" and con-
sisted of a wide variety of
fresh fruits, vegetables,
meats, and cheese. I was par-
ticularly impressed with the
blue cheese dressing which
contained very large chunks of
blue cheese. Our waiter bill

was a modest $8.50 (not in-
cluding the tip).

My overall impression of
Ruby Tuesday's was
favorable. There was plenty of
diversity, and the atmosphere
was relaxed and informal. I do
not recommend it if you are
working within a set time
frame, however, because of a
long wait to be seated. Ruby
Tuesday's is located in Lenox
Square and is open seven days
a week from 11 am until 11 pm
Monday through Thursday,
and from 11 am until midnight
on Friday and Saturday. Sun-
day the restaurant opens at 11
am and closes at 10 pm. There
is a two-for-one happy hour
every day from 4 pm and 6:30
pm and a second happy hour
one hour before closing time.
Reservations are not ac-
cepted.

Tootsie Unveiled

DeKalb Activities Announced

by Peggy Schweers and
Marcia G. Whetsel

In the movie Tootsie,

Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoff-^
man) is an actor. He can get no
work because he is a perfec-
tionist. His girlfriend (Teri
Garr) fails an audition for a
soap opera character. Michael
decides to try for the part,
dresses as a woman, and calls
himself Dorothy Michaels.

Dorothy Michaels gets the
part. She becomes very
popular for her straightfor-
ward defense of her own ideas
and identity as a woman and a
professional. She exceeds the
usual two-dimensional soap
opera female characterization.

Dorothy Michaels is pur-
sued by two admiring men.
She develops a close friend-
ship with a co-star, Julie
Nichols (Jessica Lange).
Michael Dorsey falls in love
with Julie but cannot reveal
his identity to her. Finally, in
the climax, Michael Dorsey
reveals his identity to his au-
diences and his friends, and
must assure Julie that he can
be her friend as a man as well
as he could as a woman. They
skip off happily together.

We left the theater feeling
good about this film, yet also
uneasy. Dorothy reminds us
that two aspects of women's
status are not reconciled in to-
day's society.

The Problems:

First, women are taken ad-
vantage of both intellectually
and sexually in our society.
Jessica Lange, as Julie
Nichols, is a prime example of
this problem. Her roles in the
soap opera and in life are
superficial. She is controlled
by her director and her father.
By observing Dorothy, Julie
learns that her situation takes
from her happiness and she
decides to seek something
better.

The lesson here is apparent.
Because exploitation is ac-
cepted by some and it's com-
mon, this hardly validates its
existence. We, as Scott
students, anticipate our future
roles. In doing so, we should
be more aware of our ability to
control our situation. This ex-
ploitation is not yet extinct,
despite what some women
might think.

Second, Michael Dorsey
discovers that a woman's ap-
pearance is a critical factor in
her acceptance in society and
in the determination of the
roles which she will play. He is
amazed by the amount of time,
money, and effort involved in
trying to be an attractive
woman. He is hurt when he
hears Dorothy referred to as a
fat woman and an ugly
woman. All that work for
nothing! - is the unsaid reply.

Women are bombarded from
birth with the message that a
woman can and should be at-
tractive. A measure of success
at home, at work (everywhere)
depends upon this notion.
Dorothy is a huge success
both for her professional can-
dor and for her personal sen-
sitivity. Her appearance is
secondary. Michael, as a man,
is surprised at Dorothy's suc-
cess. He expects her "manly"
looks to be a serious
drawback.

Personal experiences we
share should go into our store
of confidence. Looks cannot
be relied upon totally. Media
assumptions of the perfect
female supply momentum to
this emphasis on personal
perfection. The media
assumes a perfection which
cannot be achieved. Yet, we
strive optimistically, and lose
confidence at our failure.

Michael Dorsey's discovery
is his final comprehension of
women as persons. Julie con-
fides in Dorothy with ease, ex-
pecting nothing in return.
When she first learns that
Dorothy is a man, she is hurt
because he lied to her. She
tells Michael that she misses
Dorothy. He answers that
Dorothy is there as always.
The conflict of friendship is
resolved when Julie trusts
Michael to carry on that same
friendship. Michael is more of
a man for finally understan-
ding women as they really are.

The problem with this is that
not all men can or will trade
clothes to discover what
Michael Dorsey did. How can
we best explain these feelings
to create an integrated life
that many of us at Agnes Scott
hope to achieve?

Herpes: Myths and Realities

Part I of a Series
Definition and Transmission

Part I of a Series
Definition and Transmission

by Tracey Veal

Although Herpes has been
widely publicized, many myths
persist. These articles, unlike
others, will give a straightfor-
ward and factual account of
Herpes no hype involved.
Several aspects of Herpes will
be presented, including:
definition, transmission,
diagnosis and treatment.
What is Herpes?

Herpes is caused by a virus.
A virus is a parasite that in-
vades, reproduces, and lives
inside the cell. While it is
there, it disrupts the normal
activities of the cell.

There are five different
Herpes viruses that infect
humans: Herpes simplex I
(HSV-I), which generally oc-
curs above the waist and is
most commonly known as a
cold sore or fever blister;
Herpes simplex II (HSV-II),
which generally occurs below
the waist and is called
"genital Herpes" because it
centers around the sex
organs; cytomegalovirus
(CNV), which causes diseases,
particularly in newborns and
prevents or retards the normal
functioning of the body's im-
mune system; varicella-zoster
virus (VZV), which is responsi-
ble for chicken pox; and
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the
most common cause of
mononucleosis.

Although there are five
types of herpes viruses, from
here on, when the word herpes
is used, it will refer to genital
herpes unless otherwise
stated.

Because herpes is primarily
transmitted by sexual contact,

it is characterized as a
venereal disease. It is impor-
tant to note that sexual con-
tact may involve more than in-
tercourse. Oral-genital sex can
spread both Herpes virus I and
Herpes virus II. Many people
are unaware that when a per-
son has a cold sore, herpes
virus can be spread to the
genitals of another person dur-
ing oral-genital sex. Kissing
can spread herpes from the
lips of one person to another.
The virus usually infects
mucus membranes such as
those around the mouth and
lips, and soft skin around the
genitals. The most common
way it is transmitted is
through genital contact with a
person when active lesions are
present. Genital contact in-
cludes rubbing skin-to-skin in
the genital area, as well as in-
tercourse. Anal intercourse
can also spread the disease,
and lesions may appear on the
rectum, buttocks or thighs.

Herpes is a growing concern
among those in the health pro-
fessions doctors, nurses,
and especially dentists
because a cut, scratch or abra-
sion on the skin will allow the
virus to enter the body. This

Puzzle Answer

results in what is known as a
herpetic whitlow, a recurring
infection of the fingers and
hands, and may last two to six
weeks. Thus, it is of the ut-
most importance for a person
being examined by health pro-
viders to let them know if they
have herpes (or if they suspect
so) to let them know prior to
being examined.
Is Herpes A Problem In the
U.S.?

National statistics have not
been collected for genital
Herpes, but government
health officials estimate that
there are 300,000 new cases of
genital Herpes contracted
each year. This makes genital
Herpes the second most com-
mon venereal disease in the
U.S. gonorrhea being
number one. Venereal disease
is indeed at epidemic propor-
tions in the U.S.

As The Ball

by Caroline Bleke

The seniors and freshmen
clashed last Monday night in a
fast moving and rough game.
The Scouts girded up their
tired loins and bagpiped the
Highland Girls 32-18.

The fresh ones played a
more concise game this week.
They move very well as a team,
but need more daring in their
shooting. Scott Posey is an ex-
ceptional outside shot and
should risk more.

Amy Puckett attacked the
court and came up high scorer
for "The Girls" with eight
points. Keep an eye out for
Amy on the tennis court, too.

Xan Fry displayed little
respect for her elders as she
ripped rebound after rebound
off the hoops. She is an A-G-G-
R-E-S-S-l-V-E player, ask Nan-
cy Childers. Good work, Xan.

All of the freshmen are
good, technical players. Laura
Smith and Ruth Feicht are
strong defensive citadels
look at Amy Potts' knees and
elbows, the floor saw them
many times Monday night.

What aspect of the senior
team prevented the
Highlanders from scoring
more?

Could it be Nancy Childers'
repertoire of bird cries and
banshee shrieks?

Could it be they dare not
triumph over the president of
AA, Amy Potts?

Maybe Jody Stone threaten-
ed them with her senior
Biology seminar on Sar-
racenia.

Anyway, they lost but not
without style. Ruth Feicht,
after many unsuccessful at-
tempts at sinking a basket dur-
ing the game, tossed the ball
over her shoulder and scored
two points as the final buzzer
rang.

Scout statistics show that

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1983

Bounces. . .

Nancy Childers got the most
with 14 points. Amy Potts and
Amy Little shot eight and six
points, respectively.

Colleen McCoy and Virginia
Bouldin contributed lots of ac-
tion and noise to the pro-
ceedings.

Again, half time activities
were coordinated and ex-
ecuted by senior players, there
being no spectators in the gym
to serve as cheerleaders.

Bradie Barr graced us with
her presence at the
sophomore / junior ex-
travaganza. Many thanks,
Bradie, for your exuberance
and, urn, chattiness.

It was just "one of those
nights" for the Sailors. They
never abandoned ship, but
were jettisoned by the Kids
32-20.

There is very little to report
on this tense, nerve-wracking
game. The element of fun
disappeared as Robin Hoff-
land dominated every play of
the sophomores' game, and
the juniors didn't quite click
enough to stop her. To be
honest, the match became a
series of cat and mouse
maneuvers.

Needless to say, the ball
handling was skilled. Ann
Lindeil, especially, shone as a
rapacious player, both reboun-
ding and shooting. She scored
for nine points.

Another Ann, the Weaver
variety, was high scorer of the
Sailors with 10 points.

Diagnosis: these teams are
suffering from too little on-the-
scene attention. Their lives de-
pend upon support from other
class members. Please, won't
you give of your time and
energy for one hour on Mon-
day nights? Remember, the
game you watch may be your
own.

Dr. Schmidt Explains Changes

by Kitsie Bassett

In a recent interview, Presi-
dent Ruth Schmidt explained a
few of the recent changes on
campus in an effort to dispel
some of the rumours currently
circulating, which the changes
spawned.

The changing and shorten-
ing of the accounting office
banking hours were perhaps
the most controversial of the
changes. Dr. Schmidt is
basically not in favor of pro-
viding a banking service on
campus. She maintains that it
requires security personnel to
transport the money to and
from the school and accoun-
ting office personnel must
take time away from their
other duties to serve students.
Furthermore, the cash which
must be kept on reserve could
be earning money through in-
vestments. Unlike commercial
banks, the accounting office
banking service is non-profit.

Dr. Schmidt realizes,
however, the necessity of a
non-campus banking service

at this time. The current
change in hours was initiated
when a member of the accoun-
ting office staff resigned.
Rather than hiring a new per-
son, she felt that the office
could simply cut back. The
new hours were set by the ac-
counting office itself based on
what the staff felt were the
busiest hours. Due to student
protest of the inconvenience
of these times, new hours
have been announced which
should be more compatible
with student schedules. The
check cashing and change
policies of the Dining Hall and
Hub were not meant to be a
part of this policy change in
banking services. Both the
Dining Hall and Hub are once
again allowed to give students
change.

President Schmidt feels
that the reduced banking
hours should accommodate
all students and their
schedules, if they will only
plan ahead for their cash
needs. She also would like to

see more students open
checking accounts with local
banks, feeling that this further
develops a sense of respon-
sibility within a student.

Another action which many
students questioned was the
cancellation of the Spanish
Department's Mexico Class.
Dr. Schmidt explained that
this was the product of unique
circumstances. Due to the ter-
mination of a Spanish Depart-
ment position last quarter,
there was no instructor for the
class. Since only four students
were registered for this non-
Spanish speaking class, it was
not felt that it warranted an ad-
ditional appointment. Current-
ly, Agnes Scott and
Oglethorpe University are at-
tempting to work out an agree-
ment, whereby the two
schools share one full-time
professor.

There has also been much
discussion around campus as
to why the ice cream was
removed from the Dining Hall,

will the Snack Bar be closed,
and would the tradition of hav-
ing tablecloths in the Dining
Hall on Sundays be ter-
minated. According to Presi-
dent Schmidt, the Food Ser-
vices budget was cut this year
in response to the drop in
enrollment. Dr. Schmidt made
the actual cut, but it was up to
the Food Services staff to
decide in what areas the cuts
would be made; ice cream hap-
pened to be one of those areas
As to the other questions
regarding the Snack Bar and
tablecloths, Dr. Schmidt
reported that Mrs. Saunders
and Food Committee are work-
ing on a student survey. This
survey will attempt to find the
students' highest priorities in
food service so that future
cuts and/or changes can be
made with the students'
wishes in mind.

All of these actual changes
and unconfirmed rumours
have forced many students to

question Agnes Scott's finan-
cial security. President
Schmidt was very firm in
declaring that Agnes Scott is
very solid financially. She
believes that Agnes Scott's
per pupil endowment is the
greatest of any women's col-
lege in the country, and also
mentioned the excellent
faculty-student ratio of the col-
lege.

However, for the past few
years, 40% of the college's
operating budget has had to
depend upon the endowment;
and this year, the operating
budget barely finished in the
black. Therefore, it is
necessary to "tighten up for a
future with distinction," com-
mented Dr. Schmidt. As the
College's new president, she
feels that it is natural for her to
start this "tightening up" as
she reviews the operations of
the College in an effort to
make it run more efficiently
and effectively.

Students
Lobby to
Say No
to 21

by Lisa Reichard

If Senate Bill #4 is passed,
the legal drinking age would
be raised to 21.

There is a chance that the
proposed bill will not pass.
GSA (Georgia Student
Association) is trying hard to
see that it doesn't. Rep Coun-
cil's sophomore represen-
tative Laura Langford said,
"We have constructed a
telephone network which will
enable ASC girls to call their
representatives and ask them
not to pass the bill." The bill
will be voted on today, Jan. 31.
Laura also explained, "Agnes
Scott girls will have the oppor-
tunity to come to the Capitol
lobby on Mon., Jan. 31, and try
to explain to their represen-
tatives why they disapprove of
the bill, and ask them to vote
against it." Along with GSA,
"other colleges and univer-
sities are trying to oppose the
bill, such as Tech and the
University of Georgia."

Executive Round Table is in
the process of updating and
expanding a service that is
valuable and available to all
Agnes Scott students. At their
meeting on Jan. 12, 1983,
members of the organization
discussed the revitalization of
the Alumnae Network. This
project is part of a joint effort
with the Career Planning Of-
fice, where the information for
this service is maintained. The
Network provides names of
alumnae who want to help
students gain entry into their
chosen careers. Alumnae are
willing to be mentors, to pro-
vide information about their
professions, and/or to in-'
stigate intern and extern pro-
grams within their profes-
sions.

Members of ERT are helping
Libby Wood, director of CPO,
update the files in two ways.
The organization has selected
eight members to form two

groups. One group will com-
pose a letter to send to ex-
isting members of the Network
so that their information can
be updated. The other group
will work on a campaign to ob-
tain new members to add to
the Network. These students
will put together an "advertise-
ment" for the Alumnae
Quarterly that will alert alum-
nae to the need for their
volunteered time and services
for Agnes Scott students.

Once the Alumnae Network
is updated, it should be quite
beneficial to students who are
attempting to make contacts
not only in the business com-
munity but also in other
careers as well. Executive
Round Table will continue to
inform the campus of the pro-
gress that is being made on
this file as well as provide
students with information on
their upcoming panel discus-
sions on careers in consulting
and marketing.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

EXTENSION 385

by Laurie McBrayer

The grade point average
system at Agnes Scott should
be changed. Different values
should be assigned to plus
and minus grades seems
that rewards students for plus
and minum grades seems
more fair and is more common
among colleges and univer-
sities. In fact, graduate
schools sometimes convert a
straight scale to a plus and
minus scale to accurately
compare candidates. If the
plus-minus evaluation is in-
stituted at ASC, students
would actually have a better
idea of their class standing.

Students at ASC are not
rewarded for efforts to raise
grades within a quarter. For
example if a student has a B
minus average in a class,

MOO U.

makes an A on the exam, and
raises her grade to a B plus,
her B plus is equivalent to a B
minus in respect to grade
point average. The difference
between a B plus and an A
minus is one whole point on

system. A student who earns
an A, two B pluses, and a C
plus would receive a 2.0 on the
ASC scale and a 2.22 on the
other scale. (See proposed
grade values on this page).

C- .7

the 3.0 scale at ASC. (An A
equals 3.0, a B equals 2.0, and
a C equals 1.0).

A comparison between the
calculated GPAs using a
straight scale and a plus-
minus scale illustrate a disad-
vantage of the ASC grading

scales at other colleges sug-
gests that ASC is out of step.
The 3.0 rather than 4.0 scale, is
uncommon, although it
doesn't really pose severe pro-
blems. A student graduating
from college should earn at
least a 1.0 GPA.

Now I know how the
weatherman must feel. Writing
this article a week in advance
forces me to make a few
predictions and hope that
nothing too drastic occurs. I
have to trust others to meet
their deadlines and to do their
work efficiently so that what
you read is as accurate as
possible. Like the weatherman
who has seen all the maps and
reviewed his report
thoroughly, I, too, know what
happens "behind the
scenes" and simply tell you
what to expect. And
regardless of the un-
predicability of the weather,
the reporter always seems to
give a straightforward
forecast with a slight "think-
positive-grin-and-bear-it" tone
of voice. Such is the case as I
write this article.

This week will have had its
overall highs and lows, but I
predict a much clearer at-
mosphere and a brighter
outlook among the students
and the entire ASC communi-

ty. You will have had the
chance to read another infor-
mative, somewhat controver-
sial issue of the Profile, to at-
tend a special convocation
where President Schmidt
discussed the budget pro-
cedure, to come express your
opinions and bring your sug-
gestions to a Rep Council
meeting, to enjoy the fun and
games of Rep's Winter Pro-
ject, to contact your
legislators and take your
stand as a civic-minded stu-
dent concerned about the
drinking age issue, to prepare
for the upcoming traditions of
Junior Jaunt, and much more .
. . You will have had plenty of
time to rid yourself of the
"cabin fever" which might
have accompanied our recent
snowy weather conditions.

But then again, I base many
of my predictions on what I
hope will have happened dur-
ing the week. Maybe it's the
Pollyanna in me. Maybe I
refuse to believe that a
mature, intelligent Agnes
Scott woman could prefer to
complain rather than in-
vestigate the issues and con-
sider ail of the alternatives.
Maybe I see no place for an
undercurrent of rumors which
fosters negative attitude on
this campus and choose to
believe that ours is a student
body prepared to seek solu-
tions and keep the betterment
of the college as our priority.
Maybe I think that students
can overlook personal in-
conveniences to find that
negotiations can be made
which include and meed the
needs of individuals as well as
the campus community as a
whole. Maybe I see the Agnes
Scott student as an "answer-
seeker, problem-solver" rather
than one who is either too sub-
missive or too stubborn to ef-
fectively express her opinion.
Maybe I think Rep Council
should serve you, represent
you, and work for you and
those who will follow you . . .
not spoon-feed you.

Nevertheless, I dare not
change my predictions. All
reliable signals indicate
clearer conditions, but even
the bluest of skies can have a
few clouds. Maybe I choose to
"look for the silver lining" . . .
but remember, I write this arti-
cle one week in advance.

Rep Discusses Constitutional Amendments

by Mary MacKinnon

As this past week's Rep
Council meeting was called to
order, treasurer Kappy Wilkes
summed up Rep's purpose in
her devotion, with the
statements "thrive for the
future" and "change for the
better." The items on Rep's
agenda reflected movement
towards these goals.

Two amendments to Rep's
own constitution were first
considered. The first was an
amendment that would give
Rep's treasurer more respon-
sibility in handling finances
and investments for SGA.
After having been posted for
the student body for the period
of one week, the amendment
was eligible for official vote by
Rep. A vote was taken, and the
amendment was passed. The
other amendment that would
authorize Rep Council the
power to approve or suspend
new or existing campus
organizations was then
discussed. The new procedure
would call for a preliminary
vote on the organization being
considered by the Board of
Student Activities. The results
of the vote would be given to

Rep Council, and Rep would
have the final say in either
case of approval or suspen-
sion. Rep would have the right
to agree or disagree with
BSA's vote. Incidentally, the
result of BSA's vote would be
kept confidential. BSA will not
know the results. BSA's func-
tion in the process would be
mainly to research the
organization. The amendment
was voted on and approved by
Rep. It must now go before the
Administrative Committee for
final approval.

The pending constitution of
Phi Sigma Tau, a philosophy
honor society, was then con-
sidered. This society does not
have a constitution. In addi-
tion, Rep discussed the
possibility of funding this
organization. The society's
constitution was voted on and
passed. Rep will continue to
look into the implications of
funding such an organization.

The pass / fail system was
the next issue discussed. Julie
Babb presented two cases
that Rep is considering. The
first plan proposed to extend
the number of days a student
is allowed to elect a course on

a pass / fail basis. The second
plan proposes an increase in
the number of hours that a stu-
dent can take on a pass / fail
basis. The resolution of the
first case would result in ex-
tending the decision period to
the last day to drop any class,
which is one month into the
quarter. This would give
students time to learn what
type of work a class involves
and how much time is needed
to devote to class work. This
plan was suggested by the
dean's office. The approach to
this type of change in policy
would be either for Rep Coun-
cil to be invited to introduce
the measure to the Faculty Ex-
ecutive Committee or to have
a member of the faculty in-
troduce the proposal to the
committee as a response to
student inquiry. The latter was
considered the most feasible
approach. It is possible that
these proposals could be
presented as soon as Feb. 3.
Rep Council then took an of-
ficial vote on the measures
and they were passed.

Attention was then focused
on removal of the cigarette
machine. An explanation

stated that the cigarette ven-
dor removed the machine
because the machine was not
making enough money. Other
vendors are being approached,
and other channels of action
are being investigated as well.

The subject of the new
banking hours was then open-
ed for discussion. After a talk
with President Schmidt,
several Rep members reported
that the President stated that
the administration is working
on negotiating new hours. It
was also stated that the hours
were changed in the first place
in order to compensate for
loss of personnel and cut-
backs in budgets. It was also
noted that changes in the Hub
and dining hall check-cashing
policies were not a part of the
overall reduction plan in the
accounting office. The
possibility of having an
automatic 24-hour banking
machine on campus will be in-
vestigated.

The last item on Rep's agen-
da was the consideration of
student involvement on facul-
ty committees. Not only is the
possibility of having student
input and representation be-

ing considered, but also the
possibility of the student par-
ticipating as a voting member.
Several Rep members have
discussed the issue with
faculty members who serve on
the various committees.
Overall reaction to student in-
put has been favorable.
However, many objections to
allowing the student the right
to vote have been raised. Stu-
dent participation in faculty
committees is being viewed as
a valuable communication
channel for student opinion on
matters of concern to the en-
tire college community. Sug-
gestions have also been made
requesting to make minutes of
the faculty meetings available
to the student body, and to
make the meeting agendas
available to the students. Rep
is considering establishing a
student committee-at-large
consisting of one person for
each faculty committee. This
person would represent the
students in the committee and
also report back to Rep Coun-
cil. SGA President Nancy
Childers stated that the issue
is very encouraging as it
stands at the present time.

was quick to claim credit to a
report citing the lowest annual
inflation rate the country has
seen in 10 years. The Labor
Department report on the Con-
sumer Price Index showed that
consumer prices rose only 3.9
percent in 1982. But Com-
merce Department figures
conflicted with the drop in in-
flation and showed that the
country's recession is continu-
ing. The nation's Gross Na-
tional Product fell 1.8 percent
in 1982, the worst decline
since 1946.

Jeanie Morris, Agnes Scott
College Senior, is one of the
most outstanding young
women in America, according
to a national council. Included
in the roster are women col-
lege students and young
women already in the work
force. Jeanie was nominated
for the position by Norman
Underwood and one of his col-
leagues, Scott Sorrells, when
she worked on Mr. Under-
wood's campaign for gover-
nor.

Jeanie says she is in-
terested in politics as a career
after law school, and so, she is
involved in student govern-
ment on campus and off cam-
pus. Jeanie is a member of
rep. council and is President
of GSA (Georgia Student
Association). Being president
of GSA takes up most of her

spare time, she said, but she
considers it her favorite hob-
by.

Jeanie says she feels the
award will help her in her
career. She has a meeting with
the president of the award
organization this summer and
she says she hopes she will
help her with her career goals.

Jeanie says Agnes Scott
has helped her, too. "I think
being at a women's college
helps you to do well. When you
get out in the world, you are
used to competing on an equal
basis so you aren't inhibited
against sharing your ideas.
You could probably get a
similar confidence in a coed
school, but I feel you're en-
couraged more at Agnes
Scott. Everything you do is
strictly for yourself," she com-
mented.

Politics

it's the loaves and the fishes.
Everybody begins to share/'

Ms. Pauley spoke of the
rewards from her work: "It is
worth it to see a poor person
become interested in his
government and to see an il-
literate come to the point
where he can actually read
and understand a vote."

In her lecture, she gave ad-
vice on how Agnes Scott
students could become involv-
ed in the legislature.

"Before starting in a
legislative program, a person
has to truly believe in an issue.
Next, if an issue is of interest
to him, he should talk to his
representative and become ac-
quainted," Ms. Pauley said.

"Furthermore, an individual
should look around and see if
he has a friend who supports
the same issue. Many people
say, 'Oh, I'm the only one.' But,
if a person gets all the "only
one's' together, there would be
a whole room full of people,"
she pointed out.

Ms. Pauley continued,
"Once a person has a group of
people together, the following
step is to organize what the
group wants to do, where it

wants to go, and when." She
advised, "Sympathize with the
person you are talking to.
Know that representative is a
human being. Begin to realize
how other people think."

Ms. Pauley disclosed, "I can
thank Agnes Scott for all the
experience it gave me in

playwriting; for even though I
was only playing a part, I
began to learn how to walk in
the other man's shoes."

Concluding, she said, "Get
interested in politics. Get your
feet wet in whichever issue
and in whatever way you
want."

An extra-strength
for the TYLENOL

by Debbie McLaughlin

Speaking from the view-
point of an energetic. 76-year-
old woman, Frances Freeborn
Pauley advised Agnes Scott
students to "live in the pre-
sent. Get the most out of
Agnes Scott that you can to-
day."

A 1927 graduate of Agnes
Scott, Mrs. Pauley continued,
"The only way to a rich life is
to live everyday to the fullest."

Through her convocation
speech, "People's Advocacy in
the Legislature," on Wednes-
day, Jan. 19, a second in the
"Issues for Citizens" lecture
series, Ms. Pauley relayed to
her audience that she prac-
tices what she preaches.

Seven years ago, after retir-
ing from federal government
work in civil rights, Ms. Pauley
became very interested in the
issue of poverty in Georgia.
Thus, she organized the
Georgia Poverty Rights
Organization.

Ms. Pauley attributes the
position she has gained in
society to some of the virtues
she learned at Agnes Scott.

"My bosses knew that I had
my facts straight, and I can
thank Agnes Scott for that.
One thing I did have, and I
think I still have, is integrity; it
is really something that can
never be taken away from a
person," she expressed.

The social activist said of
her organization, "Our main
objective is to help poor peo-
ple in the state learn how to
lobby for themselves."

"I truly believe that the state
of Georgia could have a better
quality of life where people are
not dying of hunger and every
baby could have a chance to
make it," she stated.

Ms. Pauley also said that a
main concern of her organiza-
tion is to raise the amount of
money that the state and
federal government pays
AFDC (Aid For Dependent
Children) families.

"AFDC is given to children
who are deprived of one
parent. Many two-parent, poor
families try to receive this aid,
so the father leaves the
home," Ms. Pauley pointed
out.

"This is such a terrible
situation. The AFDC program
started in the Great Depres-
sion to hold families together.
Now it has gotten too far away
from its original idea," she
said.

"We are mainly trying to
raise the amount of money an
AFDC family receives from
$194 to $225 a month.
However, the government says
this is far too much. It says
AFDC families should receive
the same 4% raise as state
employees," Ms. Pauley
disclosed.

Continuing, she calculated,
"That would be only $7.76 ex-
tra a month. Now tell me how
many pairs of shoes could a
person buy? One. so the other
foot could go bare."'

Ms. Pauley told some of the
problems her organization en-

countered in its beginnings.
"We have fought some real
battles. At first the poor peo-
ple had to show three means
of identification to get into the
lobby of the Capitol. Now tell
me what poor person has a
license," she expressed.

"The second year many of
us were put in jail for what was
said to be disturbing the
peace. However, slowly but
surely the legislature began to
hear and see us, and now we
have gained quite a bit of
respect," Ms. Pauley said.

One basic aspect of the
Georgia Poverty Rights
Organization is that it
operates without money. "Our
only expenses are postage
and printing. The first year the
organization spent $1500 to
cover that expense. Of course,
postage has gone up with in-
flation, so this year finances
came to $2500. However, the
organization met this bill
through a church donation,"
the advocate explained.

She also said, "If we have a
statewide luncheon, people

Making an unequivocal
commitment to rebuild the o-t-
c analgesic business under
the Tylenol name, Johnson &
Johnson and its affiliate
McNeil Consumer Products
Company have unleashed a
massive marketing and promo-
tional program to reinstate
Tylenol as the No. 1 o-t-c
analgesic in the U.S.

"It will take time, it will take
money, and it will be very dif-
ficult, but we consider it a
moral imperative, as well as
good business, to restore
Tylenol to its preeminent posi-
tion," stated James E. Burke,

Chairman of the Board of
Johnson & Johnson. In
November, less than six weeks
since the nation first learned
the horrifying news of the
Chicago deaths caused by
cyanide-laced Tylenol cap-
sules. McNeil Consumer Pro-
ducts Company, at an
emotion-charged sales con-
ference in New Brunswick,
N.J., unveiled its plan for the
recovery of the brand. "The
fact that you are meeting here
today, with your comeback
plans in place, tells me that
you are already 90 percent of
the way there," noted Mr.

Burke at the meeting.

In December, there were in-
dications that the Tylenol
comeback was indeed becom-
ing a reality where it mattered
most at the retail level. Na-
tionally, tablet sales of Tylenol
have returned to 80 percent of
their levels prior to the crisis in
October. Moreover, the sell-in
of Tylenol capsules in the new
tamper resistant packaging is
going better than expected.
McNeil reports that capsule
sales for the reintroduction to
the trade are exceeding
forecast by 50 percent.

Among the key components
of the McNeil / Johnson &
Johnson Tylenol comeback
campaign are the following:

Tylenol capsules were
reintroduced in November in
triple-seal tamper-resistant
packaging, with the new
packages beginning to appear
on retail shelves in December.
Despite the unsettled condi-
tions at McNeil caused by the
withdrawal of the Tylenol cap-
sules in October, the com-
pany, with its new triple-
sealed package, was the first
in the industry to respond to
the national mandate for
tamper-resistant packaging
and the new regulations from
the Food & Drug Administra-
tion.

In an effort to encourage
the American consumer to
become reaccustomed to us-
ing Tylenol, McNeil Consumer
Products Company provided
the opportunity of obtaining
free $2.50-off coupons good
toward the purchase of any
Tylenol product. Consumers
simply phoned a special toll-
free number to be placed on
the list of those receiving the

coupons. The sample offer
was made on two separate oc-
casions in November and
December through high-
circulation newspapers con-
taining the $2.50 coupon.
McNeil estimates that these
two programs will stimulate
millions of trials of Tylenol
before the end of the year.

A new Tylenol advertising
program is being readied for a
1983 launch.

Tylenol is essentially a
better product than its chief
competitor, aspirin. Tylenol
has been shown to be equally
effective as aspirin but free of
its side effects.

Tylenol continues to enjoy
the support of the American
medical community. Accord-
ing to a recent company study,
50 percent of all physicians
continued to recommend
Tylenol to their patients
through the October crisis.

Consumers understand
that what happened in
Chicago was not the fault of
the makers of Tylenol. Accor-
ding to the company study, 80
percent of those surveyed
understood that Tylenol was
tampered with after it left the
manufacturing facility. 90 per-
cent of those surveyed said
they realized that the tablets
were not involved.

New tamper-resistant
packaging will help overcome
consumer resistance to pur-
chasing Tylenol. The recent
company survey indicated that
77 percent of all regular
Tylenol consumers would
definitely or probably pur-
chase Tylenol in tamper-
resistant packaging.

Face The Computer Age

by Marcia G. Whetsel

As the Agnes Scott com-
munity focuses on its current
computer capabilities and
ponders how it will prepare its
students to face the "Com-
puter Age," the question of
how computers fit into a
liberal arts education arises.
In order to answer that ques-
tion it is necessary to examine
what capabilities Agnes Scott
already has and how they are
being used.

The college presently owns
three Apple II computers,
located in the mathematics
department offices (3rd But-
trick), the economics depart-
ment offices (2nd Buttrick) and
the chemistry department of-
fices (2nd Campbell). The col-
lege also participates in a
time sharing program with
Emory University in which
Agnes Scott has four com-
puter terminals on campus
that operate from Emory's
computer system on a con-
tractual arrangement by
means of a telephone link-up.
These terminals on the Emory
system are 1) LA 36 Decwriter
printing terminal on 3rd But-

trick, 2) a ASR 33 teletype ter-
minal on 4th Campbell, 3)
ADM-3A CRT terminal by Lear
Sigler on 4th Campbell, and 4)
ASR 33 teletype terminal on
4th Campbell.

The formal training in com-
puter programming presently
available at Agnes Scott con-
sists of Introduction to Com-
puter Programming, which
provides an introduction to
computers, principles of
operation, BASIC programm-
ing language, programming
techniques and applications;
and Intermediate Computer
Programming which provides
a study of problem solving in
mathematics and science in
Pascal, a high-level programm-
ing language. An introduction
to computer programming is
also taught in Finite
Mathematics.

As Agnes Scott examines
its needs for the future, in light
of its present situation, it will
need to decide what its goals
are in expanding or renovating
its computer facilities. The
committee which is studying
the use of computers, is cur-
rently examining the studies

done by Davidson College in
1980 before two computer
systems were purchased in
1981. Davidson installed two
systems which included a
variety of elements such as 38
video terminals, 209 matrix
printers, three on-line disks,
six programming languages,
and software which supports
the needs of all administrative
offices.

The committee which
studied Davidson's situation
and compiled a report outlin-
ing the college goals, asserted
that computer resources were
essential in offering a
"superior liberal education"
since the Davidson students
would be entering a world
highly involved with com-
puters. The computer listed as
the college's goals: 1) achiev-
ing "computer literacy"
among all Davidson students,
and providing the oppor-
tunities for students to
achieve "computer competen-
cy"; 2) providing computer
use among the faculty and
staff, including classroom in-
struction and research

Prof. Bill Weber of the economics department develops a
program for one of his economic classes.

assistance; 3) and supporting
the administrative needs of
the college.

Computer literacy was
defined in the Davidson report
as an understanding of the
real and potential uses of com-
puters in the students' per-
sonal and professional lives,

as well as the consideration of
ethical questions raised by
computer use.

Computer competency was
defined as the ability to use a
computer, or "to design a task
for the computer and get the
computer to execute the
task."

Cost of College Must Not Be Confused With Value

"Cost must not be confused
with value; salesmanship with
scholarship or efficiency with
effectiveness," warns Dr.
Donald Walters, an educa-
tional administration pro-
fessor at Temple University
and author of "Financial
Analysis for Academic Units,"
a special 38-page report
published by the American
Association of Higher Educa-
tion.

"In the short run we are fac-
ed with financial stringency.
What is kept or not kept are
decisions not to be made

alone or influenced wholly by
dollars, for they may erode
what colleges and universities
are all about," he declares.

"Education had to face and
will continue to face the ques-
tion whether or not what has
been built up at their institu-
tion over time can be restored
when the enrollments return or
the market reappears," savs
Dr. Walters. "Already the birth-
rates have climbed but it will
be some years before colleges
can see that change in
demographics."

"If programs are not break-

ing even, people are on the
defensive," he says, "but
academics argue strong and
loud that although fiscal effi-
ciency should be considered,

finance should not be a high
priority. They believe some
things belong at a university in
order for it to fulfill its broader
purposes." But like it or not,

these same academics are
now finding that price tags are
being associated with their
value as researchers and
scholars.

College Influences Drinking

The college environment in-
fluences students to drink
more than any other factor, ac-
cording to a study conducted
by Elsie Shore, assistant pro-
fessor of psychology at
Wichita State University. She
began her 1980 study by ask-
ing students to keep a diary of
where, with whom, and why
they drank to determine the
most common situations
where they drink.

Where a student lived cor-
related highly with resistance
of alcohol, she said. Members
of fraternities rated next to
last. Men and women in dor-
mitories presented a unique
relation; both resisted at
about the same level. Shore
said she does not know if male
resistance increased or
female resistance decreased
in the overall number.

Another interesting statistic
surfaced when rating students
by the number of credit hours
they had accumulated, she
said. Freshmen's reluctance
to drink was very low,
regardless of age, indicating
to Shore that new students'
visisions of what students are
supposed to be often is blur-
red. Resistance rose evenly
with each class. Since peers
are putting the most pressure

on students to drink, Shore
said she would like high
resistors women and older
students to spread the word
to the low resistors that not
drinking is completely accep-
table. "Tell them, it's not what
a mature college student
does," she said.

What you should
know about permanent
hair removal

Excess hair can be very unattractive. If you must
remove it, the simplest way would be by shaving,
tweezing, waxing or the use of a chemical
depilatory. None of these methods remove permanently.
The only permanent method is electrolysis, involving
the insertion of a tiny filament, no thicker than a hair,
into the hair follicle. An electric current is passed
through the filament and the hair root is destroyed.
Electrolysis is highly recognized by the medical
profession. The A.M. A. Committee on Cutaneous Health
and Cosmetic recommends electrolysis as the only
safe method for permanent removal of superfluous hair.
Kree International has held a very high standard of
excellence for over half a century. The up-to-date Kree
equipment and the extensively trained electrolygist
make treatment far more comfortable than ever before.
Kree welcomes the opportunity of giving you a
complimentary private consultation. See your Kree
electrolygist and enjoy freedom from unwanted hair.

Stone Lecture Centered on Family

by Colleen Flaxington

Maclean Auditorium was
filled last Tuesday evening
when Lawrence Stone, the Pro-
fessor of History and the
Director of Shelley Cullom
Davis Center for Historical
Studies at Princeton Universi-
ty, lectured in "The Origins of
the Modern Family." Professor
Stone, originally from England
is a U.S. citizen.

Professor Stone concen-
trated his lecture on a descrip-
tion of family life in the 18th
century and provided a con-
trasting background of the
17th century family and a com-
parison of the 20th century.

The strongly child-oriented
family (when the unique in-
dividuality of the child is ac-
cepted and nurtured) is very
rare in world history. It was a
great departure from the 17th
century Calvinistic view that
the child was born with
original sins and all that one
could hope to do was "beat
the Hell out of it."

In the 18th century, the

child-parent relationship
changed from deference to af-
fection witnessed by the
change in form of address
from the formal Sir and
Madame to the personal Papa
and Mama. One letter from an
18th century father to a school
headmaster read, "The child's
spirit shall not be broken
the world shall do that soon
enough." And, in 1693, under
the influence of the opinions
of such men as John Locke,
the trend toward severe
punishment in schools declin-
ed.

With regard to husband-wife
relationships, the woman was
granted a new freedom to
select her own husband and
there was a growth of compa-
nionable marriages. Spouses
were regarded as friends.

Professor Stone saw many
causes for these changes in
the 18th century. All stem from
an individual awareness of the
self as unique and the self's
right to pursue selfish goals.
The first was rooted in

religion, as men claimed the
right to appeal to their in-
dividual consciences. Another
came from the common law
tradition, seen in such
documents as the Magna Car-
ta and the Bill of Rights. Lastly
there was the Lockian
philosophy, which asserted
that each man and woman
owns him or her self. This idea
that man had the right to con-
trol his own future, and not
merely submissive to the will
of God was underscored by
the medical, commercial, in-
dustrial and agricultural ad-
vances of the age.

The spurs which caused this
ideology to change also were
manifold. First, an enormous
growth in the distribution of
wealth and in a market society
nourished the growth of in-
dividualism. Socially, there
was a rise in the number of
wealthy entrepeneurs. The
puritanical advocation of holy
matrimony encouraged
marital affection and an orien-
tation of the family around the
child because the propogation
of the saints depended upon
him. In addition, the growth of
reading as a means of receiv-
ing information and the rise in
literacy carried with it a conse-
quence of privacy. Finally,
views of individualism were
reversed: individualism was
seen as conducive to good
society. However, people
found out that privacy and
community cannot both be
maximized. More of one re-
quires a sacrifice of the other.

Dr. Stone then drew some
conclusions about our own
society. In his opinion, in the
last decade individualism had
been pushed to an extreme
thus destroying the family
which preceded and nurtured
it. Characteristic of the post-
modern, or 20th century socie-
ty are a view of marriage, while
still the norm, as a temporary
arrangement. Also the
feminist movement has erod-
ed any vestiges of the authori-

ty held by men. The number of
children in a family is limited,
and they are cared for by
others.

"The rise of the ideal 18th

century family was a most im-
portant development," Pro-
fessor Stone concluded, and
its effects are still being seen
today.

Alliance Theatre Performs "A Little Night Music"

The Alliance Theatre will
stage one of the most popular
and highly praised Broadway
musicals of all time from Feb.
23 through March 27. A Tony
Award winner as Best Musical
of 1973, the operetta also won
Tony Awards for its book by
Hugh Wheeler and its music
and lyrics by Stephan Son-
dheim. A Little Night Music
was inspired by Ingmar
Bergman's memorable movie
called "Smiles of a Summer
Night."

Set in Sweden at the turn
of the century, A Little Night
Music is the lightly mocking
tale of tangled romances
among the guests at a sump-
tuous weekend houseparty.
Hearts break and mend during
one of the romantic "white
nights" of far-northern sum-
mer when the sun never quite
sets, and men and women
become intoxicated with the
magic of love.

The flirtations and frustra-
tions of romance come to life
accompanied by the lilting,
whimsical strains of the waltz.
Sondheim used variations of
the waltz rhythm for every
song in A Little Night Music.
The graceful melodies have a
modern flavor while retaining
a classical, pastoral quality of
tranquility and light-
headedness. The haunting
sweetness of the music is
epitomized by "Send in the
Clowns," made into a hit
single by Judy Collins.

Sondheim is one of the few
men in stage annals who
wrote both music and lyrics
for his songs.

The gossamer quality of this
carefree but touching musical
was immediately perceived by
critics after its Broadway
opening. Time described it as
"a jeweled box of a show." The
New Yorker characterized it as
"the perfect romantic
musical." Newsweek hailed it
as "one of the most brilliant
creative streaks in the history
of American musical theatre,"
and according to the New York
Times, "it is Dom Perignon."

Among the silver birches of
Mme. Armfeldt's (Betty
Leighton) country villa, four
discontented couples juggle
their ill-matched relationships
until they finally fall into a hap-
pier order.

At the center are Desiree
(Linda Stephens) and
Frederick (Jess Richards), a
pair tentatively considering
resuming a long-interrupted
love affair, although both are
now committed to other
unhappy alliances. She is a
beautiful actress, whose cur-
rent affair is with a jealous,
strutting hussar. He is a pro-
sperous lawyer, with a new 18
year old wife, Anne (Suzanne
Sloan), whose skittishness is a
continual frustration to him.
The lawyer's moody son,
Henrik (Larry Solowitz) is stu-
dying for the ministry and
guiltily in love with his father's
young wife. Completing the
guest list are Desiree's
blustering hussar, Count Carl
(Roy Allen Wilson) and his
neglected but charming wife
Countess Charlotte (Lynn Fitz-
patrick).

Others in the cast include
Cathy Larson as Frederika
(Desiree's daughter), Don
Spalding as Frid, Kay Mc-
Clelland as Petra and Dennis
Durrett-Smith as Bertram. A
chorus of some of Atlanta's
finest singing voices provides
musical commentary and a
frame for the action: Ken Ellis,
Jan Maris, Clay Newton, and
Susan Russell.

A Little Night Music will run
from Wednesday, Feb. 23
through Sunday, March 27.
Performances are Tuesday
through Sunday nights at 8 pm
with Sunday matinees at 2:30
pm. An additional matinee is
scheduled for Saturday, March
12. Tickets are $7.50 and $12
($11 and $14 on Friday and
Saturday nights). Student rush
tickets ($5) are available on a
space available basis one half
hour before the start of each
performance at the box office
window. Group rates are
available for groups of 15 or

more. For reservations, call
the Alliance Theatre box office
at 892-2414.

Sandra Dorsey, Chairperson of the Entertainment for Mardi
Gras for the Arts performed her Mae West Act at a ticket kick
off party January 10, at the Mary Gay House.

dards for excellence in musicianship and showmanship. Now,

Crackerjack Juniors Cruise to First Victory

by Caroline Bleke

Athletic Association-
sponsored basketball erupted
Monday night in a confronta-
tion between the juniors and
seniors. The Scouts, who had
lost the previous week, pulled
together and triumphed over
the Sailors. This is the second
loss for the junior team. Final
score: 32-21.

Half time score was 20-8,
Scouts leading. Once again,
the juniors proved to be se-
cond half players and came
back to score 13 points to end
the game with a total of 21
points.

The senior Scouts played a
consistent game under the
leadership of Amy Potts. When
asked for the key to her team's
success, Potts preferred not to
reveal her team's strategy.

Sue Feese took control of
the junior team, no doubt due
to her status as high scorer
the previous week. Feese
claimed this title again with
her weaselish moves that
gained her three baskets.
Hayley Waters and Ann
Weaver also pumped in six
points apiece.

Charla Williamson com-
manded a powerful position
both on offense and defense.
Jo Ann Messick, her coach for
two quarters, raved about her
tenacity.

Hayley Waters, Kathy
Switzer and Ann Weaver
pounded the floor and stood
as formidable forces at both
ends of the court. This
brunette trio weaved in and
out of the senior defense,
shooting and rebounding
many balls.

The Scout game depended
upon the strength of their of-
fensive power. Sue Scott
wreaked havoc on the junior
defense, shooting from the
outside to capture six points.

Becky Moorer and Nancy
Childers shared high scoring
honors with two points apiece.
Communication between the
two under the hoops allowed
each to shoot and rebound un-
til a basket was claimed.

The following game pitted
the sophomores against the
freshmen. The Sundance Kids
played at a one man disadvan-
tage for the first few minutes
of the game until Andee Snell
joined the battle for victory.
They were easily overpowered
by the fine ball handling of the
Highlanders, however, and the
final buzzer showed the score
to be 22-12.

The freshmen played im-
pressively during the first half,
due to plays instigated by
Karen Fortenberry. The scor-
ing was slow, however. After
the half, the Highlanders'
defense weakened and en-
abled the sophomores to close
the gap.

The Sundance Kids trailed

by two points for most of the
third quarter, but were
outscored in the final quarter
and completed no plays to
even up the tally.

Robin Hoffland, primo re-
bounder for the Kids, collected
four personal fouls by the half
and played cautiously the se-
cond half. No doubt Hoffland
missed the towering height of
fellow rebounder, Kathy Scott.
Rumors placed Scott in her
room studying at the time of
the game.

Statisticians and players
have noted the lack of team
well-wishers on the sidelines.
Please come out and support
your class.

The juniors tore into the
freshmen team this evening,
winning their first contest in
three weeks, (27-20). Sailor
strategy centered on tight
defense and wicked offense.
The new combination of
players proved to be the most
cohesive unit witnessed thus
far.

The Highlanders' game was
disorganized and chaotic. A
virgin combintation also, they
refused to get into a fighting
machine. They were tied 4-4 in
the first quarter, but were
quickly dominated by the
Junior Effort. They struggled
the rest of the game trying to
catch up with their elders.
After reaching a new low in
playing, perhaps the Highland
Girls should consider chang-
ing their name to the Valley-
Girls.

Unchallenged high scorer
for the juniors was, once

again, Suzanne Celeste Feese.
Celestial Sue has improved
game after game and ex-
emplifies the adage: "good
things come in small
packages." Feese threw in 13
of her team's 27 points.

Anne Weaver played hard
and fast. She easily over-
powered the freshmen several
times and claimed 10 points
for the floating sailors. Her
dedication to the team
"displayed" itself when her
shorts split mid-game. Always
prepared (undoubtedly in-
spired by those Scouts),
Weaver slipped into a pair of
waiting sweat pants. Moral:
"You're never fully dressed
without your sweats!"

Be warned: Charla William-
son's innocent deamanor is
misleading. Her activity at
both ends of the court confus-
ed the Highland Girls. She suc-
ceeded in pulling down more
rebounds than any other
sailor. Charla commanded the

ball for 4 points.

Fran Ivey coordinated the
blue team and ran several
miles up and down the court.
An excellent defense player,
she intimidated many a
younger opponent.

Kathy Switzer and Martia
Mitchell stocially guarded
their basket. Their stalwart
positions guaranteed the
Highland Girls as few points
as possible. Special commen-
dations to Kathy who played
one-eyed for the final quarter
after losing her contact on the
field of play.

High scorer for the
freshmen was Laura Smith
with 7 of the total 20 points. A
fiesty contestant, Laura seem-
ed to be the only stable in-
fluence on the team.

Scott Posey threw in two
beautiful baskets from the out-
side.

Moral of the evening:
Freshmen, don't forget your
sister class; they can still
teach you a thing or two.

Sister Classes Battle to the Buzzer

by Caroline Bleke

The following game pitted
the Senior-Sophomore sister
classes. Spirits were high as
the women bounded up and
down the court. A fast-paced
game ensued as Robin Hof-
fland dominated the "wise-
fool" team scoring 22 points.
The Scouts moved extremely
well as a team, but were
defeated in the last seconds,
36-33.

Laura Feese loped up and
down the court in an uncanny
resemblance of a Labrador
Retriever. She made her move
in the last quarter to help the
Kids pull ahead.

Kathy Scott, neglecting Will
Shakespeare, used her height
to rebound on defense.
Coaching on the sidelines was
brother Rob Scott, 6'8". Kay
pumped in 3 baskets for her
team, and 0 baskets for the
Scouts.

The well-mannered, good
sportsmanlike Scouts cajoled
and inspired their sister class
to "challenge yourself to keep
achieving." By keeping the
score at 29-29 until the final
seconds of the game, the
Seniors taught the Kids that
"things take time. They come
to Kids who keep believing."

Never has this sportswriter
seen such a caring and giving
team as the Seniors, whose
underlying intentions seemed
to be, "Hey, we've had our
hour. We know what it's like to

be champs we want to
foster that potential in our
sister class". What
sisterhood!

Becky Moorer, Amy Potts
and Jody Stone graced the
senior team with a polished
skill that defies description.
Potts shot for 9 points, but
"Granola" Moorer com-
mandered the high scoring
position with 10 points.
"Bony" Stone (unanimously
voted "most graceful
shooter") threw in 3 baskets.

Nancy Childers' garb was
more suited for "Live Atlanta
Wrestling" than basketball,
but her game was commen-
dable. A former cheerleader,
Nancy demonstrated that you
can teach an old dog new
tricks by instructing several
seniors in halftime cheers,
pyramids, etc.

Virginia Bouldin, Amy Little
and Colleen McCoy bolstered
the defense by subtly in-
timidating the Kids' offense.
Crusty players, Bouldin and
Little maintained contact with
the ball (and the floor) often
enough to confront their sister
class opponents in jump ball
situations. McCoy parlayed
several plays into a profit of 4
points.

The Kids' team was equally
indebted to the efforts of
Laura Lones, Liz Fowler, Ann
Colona and Ann Lindell. Their
tenacious playing, is partly
responsible for their victory.

Junior Jaunt Rap-Up

by Virginia Bouldin

The Agnes Scott College
community supported the
Junior Jaunt festivities this
year donating $776.85 for the
Grady Memorial Hospital
Restoration Fund. The senior
class raffle, usually a big con-
tributor, earned $428.50, the
largest class donation. The
junior class talent show and
orange crush ticket sales

together raised $147.75. The
sophomore class dinner earn-
ed donations of $96.50, and
the freshman class roller
skating party, a new idea,
earned $107.00.

Many thanks go to the facul-
ty and staff for their contribu-
tions to the raffle - especially
from the winners. This year's
new raffles included President
Schmidt's donations: a ride for

tively. The seniors showed

diversity in their talents.

Faculty, staff and
underclassmen got in on the
act also with everything from
tap dancing to "Smitty Sim-

mented, "I think the show was
great this year, because it had
a good mixture of serious and
cornie acts, and ail the acts
were different." Once again,
Agnes Scott put on a really big
shoe.

Campus Energy Efficiency To Be Examined

by Mary Mcuiston

Recently, President Schmidt
proposed an evaluation of
energy use and efficiency on
campus. According to Bertie
Bond, administrative assistant
to the President, Agnes Scott
is just one of several colleges
undertaking such an evalua-
tion. Ms. Bond added that the
purpose of the energy evalua-
tion is to see "where we are
and where we can cut down on
the rising cost of energy."

Undertaking the survey is
Richard Swanson, former
member of the chemistry
department and most recently
project coordinator for the
renovation of Campbell Hall.
In a recent interview, Mr.
Swanson explained the study
and commented, "I plan to
gather as much information as
I can on where Agnes Scott
stands on energy use and try
to then decide how to make
the campus more efficient."
He also added that due to the
highly technical nature of

UNDERCOVER

such an evaluation, he plans
to consult experts and coor-
dinate their findings with his
own.

Mr. Swanson offered some
interesting statistics regar-
ding energy use on campus. In
the last six years, the amount
of money spent for natural gas
has increased 700% and the
cost of electricity has risen
114%. Although the exact
amount which Agnes Scott
spends on energy each year
was not available, Mr. Swan-
son reported that $800 to $900
of each student's tuition is us-
ed to cover the costs of
energy. With energy costs ex-
pected to increase again this
year, energy use and efficien-
cy is critical to the college
community. More money
spent to fight the rising costs
of energy could mean less
money for other uses.

Although Mr. Swanson has
not participated previously in
such an evaluation, he feels
that he has experience in

many other aras which will aid
the study. He commented, "I
consider my life a series of
projects, especially manage-
ment type projects, so I have
some experience there." Mr.
Swanson has spent a great
deal of time recently resear-

Although efforts failed to
stop the Georgia Senate from
voting to raise the drinking
age from 19 to 21, Agnes Scott
girls who went to the capitol
had their own "victory."

It all started early Monday
morning when determined
Scotties rode Marta to the
capitol. After arriving,
freshman Ruth Feicht explain-
ed: "We obtained handouts on
how to approach the Senators
and stickers to wear that said
'no. 21." For one hour we talk-

Prior to this study he says
that his knowledge of the sub-
ject was "that of the average
citizen." He finds the research
both interesting and satisfy-
ing, and he said he feels in the

their offices and asked them
why they wanted to vote for
the bill."

Soon it was time for the big
vote. Ruth said, "We gathered
outside the chambers and con-
gregated near the door so they
could see our 'no. 21' stickers
upon entering."

The resulting vote was 34 in
favor and 20 opposed.

Jeanie Morris explained: "The

raise the drinking age, the
results were 50 in favor and 3

opposed. We feel like we ac-
complished something."

GSA Secretary Meg Jenkins
said she was pleased with the
number of girls who came
down. "Out of the 12 schools
that participated in opposing
the bill, Agnes Scott had the
largest percentage of students
to show up at the capitol."
Meg continued: "We are proud
of our reputation, and we know
we are responsible adults who
are not afraid to stand up for
our rights."

The bill still must go before
the House for a vote.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

-EXTENSION 385-

by Laurie McBrayer

Creativity is alive and well at
Agnes Scott. Three recent pro-
jects: Social Council's
costume party, ASC's campus
charity drive, Junior Jaunt,
and Rep Council's surprise
winter project revealed the
commendable initiation and
hard work of Agnes Scott
students.

Most recently, the students
who attended the Masquerade
Party at the Fox Theatre
demonstrated that they were
well equipped to think of
original costumes, such as
Renee Richards before and
after the operation, dice, the
Ga.-Ga. Tech game, and the
whole Gilligan's Island crew.
Social Council's planning and
good publicity made the well-

attended party a success.

This year's Junior Jaunt
events were fun as well as ef-
fective in raising money. The
freshmen sponsored a bigger
event than freshmen in the
past have. The evening at Jelly
Bean's was an original idea.
The dinner in the dining hall
was enjoyable, with a better
than usual menu, and the
talent show, with members of
the Dean of Students' of-
fice, RAs, and P.E. instructors
participating, was especially
entertaining. It's important to
note that faculty as well as
students made Junior Jaunt a
success by donating various
items and services for the
ever-popular traditional senior

raffle. Most importantly,
Junior Jaunt teaches students
to be charitable. We often
need to be reminded how for-
tunate we are.

Rep Council's winter project
organized around the theme of
travel was also special. Flight
1-27-83 was packed with sur-
prises (foreign meals for lunch
and dinner, and a raffle) and
with enthusiasm. Rep Council
deserves thanks for helping
dissipate winter blues.

Jr. Jaunt:

Misuse Of
Greek

Dear Editor:

I applaud ASC students for
the spirit of friendship and
charity in which they carry out
the activities of Junior Jaunt,
but, in spite of my enthusiasm
for the project, I can't resist
being picky and pedantic
when Greek words are misus-
ed and misunderstood. 'Eros'
does not just mean "love bet-
ween men and women", but
erotic love between a man and
a woman, two women, two
men, or gods and humans. The
word 'philos' means a man
friend. The word they want to
express their theme is
"philia," friendship or
"brotherly love." But wouldn't
sisterly love be a more ap-
propriate translation at ASC?
'Agape' is indeed "heavenly
love," but only in a Christian
context. There are quite a
number of people on campus
who know ancient Greek and
who, had they been consulted,
could have prevented these
gregarious errors.

Sincerely,
Gail Cabisius

by Nancy Childers

Do you remember that lovely
little blue paperback book that
you received when you arrived
at ASC this fall? While most of
us do not keep it beside our
bed for light-reading purposes,
I hope that you can find it hid-
den in your bookshelf and I
urge you to review several of
the important pages in this
literary masterpiece we call
our Student Handbook.

In reviewing the constitu-
tion of our Student Govern-
ment Association, you'll note
on page 70 that "all students
of ASC shall be members of
the Association." This means
YOU! You do have an active
part in all of the recommenda-
tions that Rep Council
presents to the Administrative
Committee for consideration.
Keep in mind that all amend-
ments extending the power of
the SGA must be submitted to
the Administrative Committee
for ratification before being
presented to the student body.

As you know, Rep Council
has been very busy this
quarter and has three issues
to present to our Ad-
ministrative Committee at
their earliest convenience: 1)
an amendment which
authorizes our Treasurer to
write checks from our invest-
ment account, 2) the constitu-
tion of Phi Sigma Tau and the
possibility of that organization
receiving SGA funding, and 3)
a constitutional change regar-
ding the approval or suspen-
sion of student organizations.
Thusfar, these issues have
followed the appropriate chan-
nels of this lengthy procedure.
Each proposed measure was
posted one week before Rep

voted. Each was passed by a
majority vote of the Rep Coun-
cil. Each will remain posted
until Administrative Commit-
tee makes a recommendation.
If approved, each of these
recommendations will be
presented at a student body
meeting where a quorum (one
fourth of all students) must be
present. The amendment must
pass by a 2/3 majority vote. To
revoke a measure passed by
Rep, a petition with 50 stu-
dent signatures will be suffi-
cient to bring the proposed
measure to a vote before the
student body. Again, 2/3 ma-
jority vote is necessary to
revoke the action. All of this in-
formation and more can be
found in your Handbook. And
let me remind you that spring
elections are closer than you
think. I urge you to read this
section carefully if you plan to
seek a particular position on
campus. You might read the
constitution of that organiza-
tion and talk to its present of-
ficers if you have any ques-
tions. And current officers, I
urge you to read your own con-
stitutions carefully in case you
need to make any corrections
or changes for the 1983-84
Handbook (Beth Davis needs
this info as soon as possible).

And while I'm urging and
reminding, let me also en-
courage you to come to our
Rep Council meetings Tues-
day nights at 6:30 pm. Our last
meetings have been lengthy,
but very productive. Where
else can you find such a
diverse group of 25 young
women discussing everything
from imaginary flight ar-
rangements to the future of
your future experiences here
at ASC???

D.C. Semester

Open To
All Majors

College Gets Women More $$$

by Virginia Bouldin

"Most students think the
Washington Semester is just
for Political Science and
Economics majors," com-
mented Dean Moye. "The
Washington Semester can be
a good experience for any ma-
jor." The American University
in Washington, D.C. offers
courses for all majors. Just
the arts and humanities
department program offers
study opportunities for art
history majors, foreign culture
and language students,
history, religion and literature
students, writers, musicians,
actors and directors and even
archaeologists.

Besides the arts and
humanities semester, the
American University offers
semesters in justice,
economic policy, foreign
policy, urban semester for the
local political scene and
American national govern-

ment and politics semester.

The programs include a
combination of seminars with
the experts in Washington, an
internship of your choice from
already established intern-
ships or an internship
developed by the student and
classes to help the student get
the most out of her time in
Washington. Some intern-
ships have developed into per-
manent jobs; and many impor-
tant contacts can be made in
Washington.

The Washington semester
costs a little bit more than
Agnes Scott, but students get
semester hours which count a
little more than quarter hours.
Also, any federal loans the stu-
dent receives are applicable to
the American University, but
Agnes Scott loans are not ap-
plicable.

Deadline for application for
Fall Semester is April 16. In-
terested students need to see
Dean Moye for application
forms and further information.

In The News

by Mary Morder

America's highways were
filled with violence as indepen-
dent truck drivers began a
strike to protest a five cents
per gallon gas tax increase
and additional taxes on
trucks. One non-striking driver,
a Teamsters Union member,
was shot and killed in North
Carolina. Over 1,000 violent in-
cidents were reported nation-
wide in connection with the
strike. The Federal Transporta-
tion Department has
estimated that 20,000 indepen-
dent truckers are participating
in the strike.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Lewis F. Powell has ordered a
halt to state-sponsored school
prayer in Alabama public
schools.

In national news, the White
House has announced that
Chinese Premier Zhao Zianga
would visit President Reagan
sometime in June or
September. Zhao would be the
first Chinese official of his
rank to visit the United States.
No mention was made of a
reciprocal visit to China by the
United States.

Vice President George
Bush, touring Europe to
discuss U. S. negotiating posi-
tions in nuclear armstalks, an-
nounced that President
Reagan was willing to hold
summit talks with Soviet
leader Andropov under certain
conditions. Bush stated that
Reagan would be willing to
sign a pact based on Reagan's
"zero option" proposal for in-
termediate range nuclear
weapons. The Kremlin has re-
jected the "zero option" pro-

posal.

J. B. Stoner, a white
supremacist from Marietta,
Ga., has been declared a
federal fugitive. Stoner has
been sought by Alabama
authorities for over a week
after he failed to appear in
court for an extension of his
appeals bond. Stoner faces a

10-year prison sentence for the
1958 bombing of a Birm-
ingham church.

The Georgia House of
Representatives has passed
and sent to the Senate tougher
drunk driving legislation. This
bill would require a $300 fine
for first offenders; a minimum
$600 fine and 48 hours in jail or
80 hours of community service
for second offenders; and a
minimum $1,000 fine and 10
days in jail or 30 days of com-
munity service for third-time
offenders.

The House has also passed
a bill introduced by Speaker
Tom Murphy that would re-
quire 16-year-olds to pass an
alcohol education course to
receive a driver's license. This
bill also awaits Senate action.

Washington, D.C. (CPS)
College doesn't necessarily
help men get higher-paying
jobs than high school grads,
though it does help women,
the National Center for Educa-
tional Statistics (NCES) has
discovered.

The NCES found that, seven
years after graduating from
high school in 1972, men who
didn't attend college at all ac-
tually earned more than those
who did.

High school grads earned
an average of $7.06 an hour.

Those who went to college
less than two years earned
$6.94 an hour. Men who got a
bachelor's or advanced degree
earned an average of $6.89 an
hour.

But higher education ap-
parently isn't as hazardous to
women's success as it is to
men's.

Women who had earned col-
lege degrees earned substan-
tially more than women who
ended their educations after
high school, the survey said.

In its written summary of
the findings NCES, which ask-
ed 17,000 members of the high
school class of 1972 about
their status in 1979, concluded
that "over the long term for
both men and women, the
financial returns of a college
education may repay the ac-
tual costs of schooling, as
well as the wages lost by not
working during the college
years. College probably does
pay for young women, but it is
too early to say the same for
young men."

Comic Opera Tonight

The comic opera "La
Canterina" ("the Songstress")
by Franz Joseph Haydn will be
presented in English by the
Agnes Scott College Music
Department this evening and
tomorrow evening, Feb. 14 and
15.

The 18th century opera,
under the musical direction of
Jean Lemonds, will feature a
double cast with a different
group performing each night.
Prof. Ronald Byrnside will also
direct a chamber orchestra ac-
companiment. Both perfor-
mances will be in Gaines
Auditorium of Presser Hall
beginning at 8:15 pm. Admis-
sion is free.

"La Canterina" centers
around Gasparina, a selfish
woman who has won the affec-

tions of two men, Don Ettore
and Don Pelagio. These two
men are slighted by Gasparina
who only seeks money and at-
tention.

Agnes Scott students Julie
Gilreath, Louise Gravely, Katie
Milligan, Kristen Sojourner,

and Ann Weaver will perform
in this opera which contains
no spoken language, only
"aria," or sung dialogue.

Marietta Street of Decatur, a
graduate of Shorter College,
and Rick Phillips of midtown
Atlanta will appear in guest
performances.

Study Abroad Costs Go Down for Spring 1983

Because the US Dollar has
strengthened in recent months
vis-a-vis the French Franc and
the Spanish Peseta, Academic
Year Abroad, an educational
service organization which ar-
ranges individualized study in
the Universite de Paris and the
Universidad de Madrid, an-
nounces that costs will be
greatly lower beginning with
the spring semester of 1983. In
France, for example, where

the rate of exchange is the
most favorable for Americans
that it has ever been, the
reduction is more than $8000
per year, $400 per semester.
Thus, the costs are often
much less than the cost of a
semester in an American
university.

Applications for spring and
fall 1983 at the new rate are
now being received by:

Academic Year Abroad
17 Jansen Road
New Paltz, NY 12561
Students wishing a
brochure and application
should send two 20c stamps
to the above address.

A separate announcement
of small grants in support of
such study by qualified ap-
plicants will be forthcoming
from the C.E.E.U.

Emmaus House People Help the Poor

by Debbie McLaughlin

According to Father Austin
Ford in his convocation
speech "Hunger and Poverty
at Home," poverty has reach-
ed epidemic proportions in
this country.

The parish minister spoke to
an Agnes Scott audience
Wednesday, Feb. 2, in a third
part of the "Issues for
Citizens" convocation series.

He opened his talk by giving
a brief introduction to the Em-
maus House where he has
worked since 1967 and is cur-
rently director.

"The Emmaus House is a
collection of several old
houses near the stadium in
Atlanta where a group of peo-
ple live along with me to help
the poor. Many of the people
are college students who work
in the summer or serve for a
year," Father Ford explained.

He continued, "Our program
can consist of taking poor peo-
ple to the dentist, working with
old people, or forming educa-
tional programs for children."

"There is also a part of our
organization called the Pover-
ty Rights Office. This group of
women volunteers publishes a
newspaper for the poor that
gives them information on the
services they are supposed to
be getting," he said.

Not since the 1930's has our
country had such a problem
with poverty. A recent article
published in the "New York
Times" disclosed that poverty
in Atlanta alone is very severe.
The article stated that out of
six million people in Paris
there are 8,000 poor. In com-
parison, there are only 1/2
million people in Atlanta and
more than 8,000 are poor," he
pointed out. "There are poor
people in Atlanta sleeping in
parking lots at night, keeping
warm by oil cans, and killing
pigeons and eating them.
Among these poor, a high level

of crime originates," Father
Ford related.

According to the minister,
the modern attack on poverty
was initiated by Jane Adams
in the early years of this cen-
tury. This active woman did a
great deal of thinking and
finally formed a settlement
house in Chicago. She
recruited young people from
all directions, and they all set-
tled in a poort neighborhood to
experience the life of the poor.

"In Jane Adams" opinion, in
order for the U.S. to earn the ti-
tle of a humane nation, it had
to see what was happening
with the poor and what ought
to happen to help them. At
that time there were no public
programs for the poor, only
private initiatives," Father
Ford explained.

"Nevertheless, by the 1930's
and with the Depression, Jane
Adams' community was ready
to move on to the public level
under the presidency of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. These
people were called activists
because they thought about
what caused the existing pro-
blems in the nation and what
should be done about them in
terms of public policy. In ac-
tuality, these people ended up
saving the nation," he said.

Father Ford continued, "At
this time public housing,
welfare, social security, public
hospitals, and nutritional pro-
grams were all formulated.
They were entitlement pro-
grams in that people who met
certain conditions had the
right to demand these services
from Congress."

"After World War II, though,
settlement houses collapsed,
and they were replaced by the
social work movement, which
was initiated to be profes-
sional instead of experimen-
tal," he said.

He continued, "This
developed on a 9-5 arrange-
ment for the specific reason

that if workers got too involved
with the people they were try-
ing to help, they wouldn't be
able to help them."

"The result has been
disastrous, though, for people
who work with the poor don't
know what it's like to be poor.
They are idealistically
motivated, and then become
frustrated by their difficulties.
They develop hostility toward
the people they are trying to
help because they cannot help
them," he explained.

Father Ford also said that
the social work movement is
not normally political and
does not participate in the for-
mation of public policy to
alleviate poverty. The drastic
effect in recent years is that
movement has not been mak-
ing progress in eliminating
poverty.

"Thus, the major onslaught
against poverty in recent years
has been accomplished by the
labor movement and civil
rights," Father Ford disclosed.

According to Father Ford,
"The most significant ad-
vances the U.S. has achieved
in caring for the poor have
been in the housing, nutri-
tional, and income support of
the elderly. The U.S. has come
a long way in this area in the
last 30 years."

"Also, there has been a
tremendous nutritional con-
tribution for children. When I
came to Emmaus House in
1967, the children looked like
they were from India with their
bloated bellies and unfocused
eyes. Now there is the WIC
program, nutrition that is pro-
vided for women, infants, and
children and especially for
poor, pregnant women," he
said.

He pointed out, though,
"This program is inadequately
funded and subject at any time
to be cancelled out because
President Reagan doesn't like
it. It is a shame because inade-

Top Female Grads are Shun
5 =Education Degrees

Washington, D.C. (CPS)
Fewer students are planning
to become teachers, a govern-
ment study released over the
holiday break found.

A University of North
Carolina study released last
summer, moreover, found that
the majority of female educa-
tion majors who graduate at
the top of their classes leave
the profession within five
years of graduation.

Most recently, the National
Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) compared
the Scholastic Aptitude Tests
(SAT) scores of college-bound
high school seniors in 1972
and 1980, and found those
who planned to major in
education had lower scores
than others. Women still ac-
count for the overwhelming
majority of prospective
teachers, however. Only 19
percent of the 1980 college-

bound seniors who planned to
major in education were male,
the study found.

The results generally con-
firm those of a study by Univer-
sity of North Carolina Prof. Dr.
Phillip Schlechty and grad stu-
dent Victor Vance, who last
summer concluded that those
teachers who graduated with
the best grades are also those
least likely stay in teaching
permanently.

"The relative position of
teaching and the status struc-
ture of American occupations
has declined over the past 30
years so that its status as a
white collar job is even more
marginal than in the past,"'
Schlechty and Vance wrote in
their study summary.

Also, a Stanford School of
Education survey discovered
that, among college-bound
seniors of 1981. prospective
education majors had SAT ver-
bal scores of 392. Prospective

English majors, by com-
parison, had average scores of
505.

The conclusions may help
explain the teacher shortages
showing up in some parts of
the country. Florida, Wiscon-
sin, Kansas, Iowa, Colorado
and a number of southern
states, among others, are all
expecting teacher shortages
to develop during the 80's.

quate nutrition before birth fre-
quently leads to brain damage;
and. most crime in poor
neighborhoods is rooted from
this. Nothing can do as much
harm as not getting infants
fed."

Father Ford brought the au-
dience's attention to some of
the gaps in the current social
system.

"Medical services are total-
ly inadequate in that they are
not comprehensive, and there
it not a way for the poor or
elderly to stay in their homes.
Also, the welfare support for
families are inadequate in half
of the states because men
have to leave the home for the
wife and children to get
money," he explained.

The priest continued,
"There are also limits in
unemployment benefits.
Unemployment can strike
anybody in middle life, and
unless a woman has small
children, she is sunk if she
doesn't have any income.
However, there aren't as many
stranded women as men
because the women turn to
prostitution."

Father Ford pointed out an
interesting fact, "Unless a per-
son has a place to live, he can
not receive food stamps. This
is where the poor illustrate
their creativity. For example, a
woman who had three
children, and no place to live,
set up residency in a tree
house in a friend's yard and

ended up receiving food
stamps. Also, one poor man
claimed a car as his home,"
Father Ford revealed.

The priest concluded his
talk by saying, "The U.S. is the
only developed nation in the
western world where a person
can still starve to death. This
should lie heavily on our coun-
try's conscience. Also, the
U.S. should fear what pro-
grams it has for they are all
under attack and could go at
any minute."

College Guide
For Women

Women's college students
now have a definitive guide of
colleges. The new catalog,
"Everywoman's Guide to Col-
leges and Universities," rates
colleges in five categories in-
cluding curriculum, athletics,
and the number of women
leaders on campus
students, faculty, and ad-
ministration. Wellesley Col-
lege in Massachusetts receiv-
ed the highest score, 14 out of
15. Wellesley, an all gin's
school, was weak only in its
athletic program evaluation.
Three coeducational schools
each received eight out of 15
the University of California
at Berkeley, Ohio State and
Towson State University. The
evaluations were based on
questionnaires filled out by
college administrators.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

When Is A Label Not A Label?

Before you head downtown
this weekend for another foray
into the world of designer
jeans and things, better heed
these words: the label you are
paying the big bucks for may
not be what you're getting.

Label counterfeiting has
really taken off around the
country and it's no wonder
with fake labels raking in more
than $150,000 for one
disreputable dealer in one year
alone.

This increasing crime got a
big boost in the 70s when
status labels first became im-
portant, and big sellers. Now
counterfeiting plagues
everything from motor oil to
golf clubs.

Even though the practice
costs the legitimate industries
lots of money, penalties are

especially among students.
He expressed interest in
meeting with students to
discuss energy efficiency at
Agnes Scott and he welcomes
any student suggestions or
observations.

Mr. Swanson concluded the
interview by saying, "In
essence the college has asked
me to get the ball rolling." The
study will be executed in
February and March and the
results will be used in plann-
ing for future improvements.

not severe. Many states con-
sider the crime as a misde-
meanor, and the dealers who
have been caught have been
charged with other crimes,
such as wire fraud, in order to
get them behind bars.

The one area where
labelfakers are under attack is
in apparel. Those $50 jeans
you picked up last week could
be just another $11.95 special
with a rather inexpensive little
label stitched on the rear. But
the legitimate makers are
fighting back.

Jordache has already seized
$10 million worth of fake jeans
and the manufacturer also
took out a big ad in a Califor-
nia paper publicizing the ar-
rest and conviction of a major
counterfeiter.

One of the newest tools in
the battle against the fake
clothes is a court order for
seizing the fraudulent stuff.
Up until this year not many
manufacturers or their lawyers
had gone into stores to seize
the merchandise, but that was
because no one had bothered
to ask a judge for such an
order.

There is a debate among
trademark attorneys on
whether it's better to get a fine
levied against an offender or
go for a jail term. The main
idea behind all court cases of
this type is to let other of-
fenders know they will be

punished if caught, and the
debate centers around which
punishment has the most
deterrent effect.

The battle against
counterfeiting is getting ex-
pensive. Manufacturers of the
real items want to catch the
manufacturers of the fake
clothes, they don't want to
keep messing with the small-
time dealer and salesman.

Last year Calvin Klein spent
10 percent of its profits toward
cracking down on the fraud.
That expense totaled more
than a million dollars. Jor-
dache spends about half that
much, but the figures are still
alarming especially when it
appears the consuming public
may be losing their intense in-
terest in labels.

There is a bill before Con-
gress that many manufac-
turers are supporting which
stiffens penalties for
counterfeiters. Prison terms
will jump to five years and per-
sonal fines will increase
dramatically to a quarter of a
million dollars. Corporate
fines would be set at a whopp-
ing one million dollars.

Manufacturers hope Con-
gress passes such a bill and
that the new law will reduce
the counterfeiting trend. They
want to spread the informa-
tion that fake labeling is no
longer any way to make a
buck.

Dressed as characters from "Gilligan's Island," Ginger
(Dawn Teague), the Professor, Mr. Howell, and Mrs. Howell
(Kathy Scott) prepare for Social Council's recent Masquerade
party at the Fox.

Machine Replaced

During winter break, the two
cigarette machines in the Hub
were removed by the vending
company, Veneble Vending.
According to Mr. Lee Barclay,
Vice President of Business Af-
fairs, the company notified
him of the decision to remove
the machines due to a lack in
the volume of sales on Nov. 15,
1982.

Mr. Barclay contacted
several other companies over
the winter break in an effort to
obtain another cigarette

machine. Metro Distributors,
Incorporated agreed to install
a machine on a trial basis
depending upon the sales
volume. The new machine was
installed in the Hub on Jan. 26.

Contrary to some of the
rumors on campus, the
removal of the old machines
was totally unrelated to the
budget cut-backs and the
changes that were put into ef-
fect by the administration at
the beginning of the quarter.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1983

David Keith is a 28-year-old actor who has been steadily
building up an impressive list of screen performances and who
now takes his first starring role in "The Lords of Discipline" as
Will McClean, a cadet in his last year at the Carolina Military
Institute. Only a few weeks away from an honorable gradua-
tion, Will is drawn into an ordeal in which everything that he
believes in is called into question when he finds his own,
private sense of justice bringing him up against a dangerous
secret elite. That group threatens to destroy not only Will's
career but also the love of his closest friends and even his life.

Code of honor forged in
"The Lords of Discipline"

Based on Pat Conroy's best-
selling novel, "The Lords of
Discipline" is a unique drama
about a young man who
forges his own personal code
of honor in defiance of the very
rules of conduct that shaped
and nurtured him.

Will McClean's (DAVID
KEITH) ordeal unfolds against
the background of the
Carolina Military Institute, a
West Point-styled academy
whose cruel discipline con-
trasts with the beauty of Old
Char'eston. Will, a cadet in his
last year at the school, is slow-
ly drawn to protect a fellow
cadet against unfair pressure
from a secret group on cam-
pus called The Ten, whose
origins are shrouded in the
myths and legends of the in-

stitute's past.

The Ten works in darkness
to eliminate those "unfit" to
wear the fabled institute ring,
and the power of the group ex-
tends into every corner of the
school's life even perhaps
into the circle of Will's trusted
allies. But Will's private sense
of justice will lead him to con-
front The Ten; in the process
he will risk not only his own
career at the institute and the
love of his closest friends, but,
finally, his own life.

The result is an extraor-
dinary rite of passage into
manhood, a tale of suspense
that ends in a powerful human
triumph for the values of
fairness and courage that Will
McClean has risked everything
to defend.

Sophie's
as "moving, powerful

by Pam DeRuiter

Those words so over used to
praise good films, such as "in-
tense," "moving", "powerful",
and "monumental", seem in-
adequate to describe Alan
Pakula's "Sophie's Choice"
based on the novel by William
Styron. Meryl Streep deserves
the Oscar for her difficult role
as Sophie, the beautiful
English heroine who survived
Auschwitz; Kevin Kline as her
crazed Jewish lover, Nathan,
and Peter MacNichol as their
young writer friend, Stingo,
also give remarkable perfor-
mances.

The story takes place in
Brooklyn in the late 1940's;
Stingo, fresh from Virginia,
moves into Yetta's boarding
house to write his first novei
and finds himself directly

below Sophie and Nathan. The
three meet and become the
best of friends. After Sophie
learns to trust Stingo, she re-
counts to him her first meeting
with Nathan and then retraces
back to her experiences at
Auschwitz. These sequences
(the best portion of the movie),
spoken in Polish and German
with English subtitles and
filmed in faded color, draw the
spectator deep into Sophie's
sadness and guilt.

"Sophie's Choice" deals
with more than the experience
of a concentration camp sur-
vivor; it also focuses on the
love between Sophie and
Nathan, Stingo's love for them
both, and his need to unders-
tand these two complex, tor-
tured individuals. Pakula

follows Styron's novel ciosely,
emphasizing the repercus-
sions of racism the shared
guilt and man's unfair punish-
ment for the sins of the
fathers.

One small point of criticism:
in comparison to the incredi-
ble story, the rich
cinematography, and brilliant
acting, Marvin Hamlisch's
score seems somewhat un-
substantial. Although the
music does not detract from
the film, it could have been im-
portant and memorable in-
stead of what it turns out to
be; unnoticeable.

However, with Meryl Streep
on the screen, the spectator
cannot possibly be disap-
pointed; "Sophie's Choice" is
among the year's best films
and should not be missed.

Summer in Cape Cod . . . plus income?

The resort areas of Cape
Cod, Massachusetts, and the
offshore islands of Martha's
Vineyard ai.d Nantucket are
experiencing a growing pro-
blem in finding summer
employees to properly service
a rapidly expanding tourist
and convention industry.

While seasonal jobs will be
scarce elsewhere this sum-
mer, Cape Cod and the Islands
will be offering over 55,000
good summer jobs in 1983.
Most require little or no prior
experience.

Because it is impossible to
fill these jobs will local
residents, most of whom make
up the year 'round work force,
it is necessary to draw heavily
from other geographic areas
to satisfy this seasonal need.

As in the past several years,
the Cape Cod Summer Job
Bureau has coordinated an ef-
fort to assemble all pertinent
facts on available summer
employment and has publish-
ed this information in a con-
cise directory of summer job
opportunities listing over 100

categories, some of which
follow:

Lifeguards, swimming in-
structors, beach maintenance;
camp counselors, craft in-
structors; island ferry crews,
deep sea fishing party boats,
scenic railroad crews; yacht
clubs, marina work, sailing in-
structors, charter cruises,
scuba diving, salvage work,
etc.; resort hotels, food ser-
vice, restaurants, culinary,
bartenders, waitress / waiter.

Also, summer police
(uniformed), security guards;
groundswork, property
maintenance, greenskeeping;
carpentry, house painting; ten-
nis and golf instructors; tutor-
ing, governess, live-in helpers,
etc.; summer stock theatre,
stage hands; musicians, band
members; retail sales gift
and antique shops; museum
and aquarium staff; airport
personnel;

Also, taxi drivers and chauf-
feurs; hospital work, nurse's
aids, etc.; auction houses;
kiosk rentals for selling own
crafts; fast food & bakery per-

sonnel; fishing and shellfish
industries; newspaper work
(circulation, etc.); and
secretarial / clerical positions.

Hiring has already started in
many job categories.

The sole function of the
Cape Cod Summer Job Bureau
is to make available the names
and addresses of local
employers who hire extra sum-
mer help, with job descriptions
and numbers of employees
needed in each category, and
a useful cross-reference map
of the area. The Job Bureau is
not an employment agency,
and therefore charges no fees
to employers or employees.

Included in the directory is a
listing of summertime educa-
tional opportunities, academic
courses for college credit, as
well as cultural classes in
music, theatre, and the arts.

Everyone's a Winner

by Caroline Bleke

If by chance you missed the
sophomore / freshman battle
this past Monday, which I
know you did because there
were no spectators, you miss-
ed a truly spectacular game.
Every person on each team
scored at least once, and
generally more than that. Ex-
cellent defense and offense
skills were matched on each
side, which accounted for the
excitement and fervor of the
match.

The first half consisted of
concentrated defense and
precision plays. This was
definitely a team game for
both the Kids and Highland
Girls. Equal play time was
given to each member, there
being frequent substitutions.
Half time score found the Kids
leading 18-14.

During the second half, the
Kids pulled ahead of the
Highland Girls and remained
there until the final buzzer. The
final tally was 48-34. However,
technically, the game was ex-
tremely close. The
awesomeness of this match
cannot be denied by anyone.
Intense concentration was

highlighted by the unusual
quietness of the game. Of
course, the silence could also
be attributed to the lack of
fans on the sidelines.

Okay, now for the figures
you've all been waiting for.
Highland high scorers were
Karen Fortenberry, back with a
taped knee, and Xan Fry, back
with more rebounding extraor-
dinaire, each with eight points.
Laura Smith followed with six
points. Laura also moonlights
as referee for the other b-ball
games on Monday nights.
Scott Posey tossed in two
baskets, as did Suzanne
Walker, a scrappy little player.
Neophytes Conne Price and
Jeanie Bartlett each con-
tributed two points for the
Highland women.

The sophomores were once
again triumphant, thanks to
the fine team playing which
has emerged these past
weeks. Robin Hoffland led the
Kids with 20 points. Robin's
playing is very notable. Her
keen competitive spirit acts as
a catalyst for hew own team-
mates and her opponents as
well. Ann Lindell broke loose
this week and pulled down

many rebounds as well as fir-
ing in 12 points. Her height is
quite a bonus for the Kids.
Julie Christianson, complete
with camouflage cap which
undoubtedly allows her to
sneak in and out of the op-
ponents' defense scored
eight points. Laura Feese con-
trolled the ball for four points,
and controlled her camera for
several action shots on the
sidelines. Laura Lones tossed
a beautiful shot in for two
points.

And lest you be wondering
where Kathy-Marie Scott was
this week, she was being held
captive by those two men in
her life: Freud and Friedman.

Mutiny arose on the Sailor
team as only four players
showed to play the Scouts.
Thus, the seniors pirated away
the game by forfeit. Sue Feese
pleaded illness, but those of
you who saw her at the Mas-
querade will see through that
excuse. Jo Ann, yes, the in-
imitable "Jumping JoAnn,"
Messick played on the junior
team for the unofficial game
which followed the forfeiture.

A feisty four-on-four match
ensued, with the score being

Socio-psychological aspects

Herpes: Myths, Realities

(Part II in a series)

by Tracey Veal

Unlike other sexually
transmitted diseases such as
syphilis and gonorrhea, which
are more prevalent in the
lower-class, herpes has often
been termed "a disease of the
middle-class." According to
1981 CDC (Center for Disease
Control) statistics, 90% of the
reported cases were middle
and upper-class whites.

Sexuality

Having Herpes means that
one must make changes in his
or her sexuality. When genital
lesions are present, inter-
course should be completely
avoided. Despite knowing this,
some people insist on engag-
ing in intercourse. Even the
use of condoms to prohibit
transmission is often ineffec-
tive. Condoms are only a bar-
rier when they cover lesions.
Lesions on the thighs, for ex-
ample, are still transmissable
when condoms are used.
Masturbation may spread the
virus too. Any kind of sex play
involving the genitals can
spread the virus between peo-
ple during an episode of infec-
tion. If one sleeps in the same
bed with another person, wear-
ing pajamas or underwear dur-
ing an active infection may
help prevent transmission.

Psychological Aspects

The physical problems
associated with Herpes, are
generally not as serious as the
emotional consequences.
Many feelings are involved;
anger, disbelief, shame, and
fear are all common.

After the initial period of
discovery is past, new emo-
tions will come into play. One
is particularly concerned
about transmission of Herpes
to partners. Even if both part-
ners have the disease they can
reinfect one another.

A new eruption of genital
Herpes during an ongoing rela-
tionship, may suggest that the
infection was obtained from
an outside source. Although
this can be the case, it is not
always the answer. Oral
Herpes spread through oral-
genital contact is frequently
the source of infections.
Spread of the virus from
herpetic lesions if on the
hands is another. A third is
reactivation of a virus con-
tracted years before. A fourth
is autoinoculation^ from an
oral lesion.

People without a regular sex
partner who are sexually ac-
tive are in a slightly different
situation. With each new rela-
tionship, they go through the
difficult process of deciding
when and how to tell their pro-
spective partner about
Herpes. The risk of rejection
due to Herpes may seem over-
whelming at times.

Telling another person that
one has Herpes is quite dif-
ficult. Contrary to popular
belief, most Herpes victims
believe that all people have a
right to know wht they are get-
ting into. It is also very impor-
tant to present the facts clear-
ly and honestly.

When one partner has the
disease and the other does
not, efforts to prevent
transmission will begin to
change their sex lives. Before

intercourse, the infected part-
ner will mentally and physical-
ly examine his or her body.
This interferes with spontanei-
ty and often the uninfected
partner will resent the "intru-
sion" of the virus, (and
possibly beneath that, the in-
trusion of the former lover who
passed this along) into their
sex life. Some couples may
now avoid oral-genital sex,
which may once have been an
important part of their sexual
communication. Others will
now use condoms with each
act of intercourse, which may
be uncomfortable. Most peo-
ple make these adjustments
and go on to have a satisfying
sex life, interrupted by periods
of abstension or altered ways
of achieving sexual gratifica-
tion. Others may find the ad-
justment more difficult.

Another problem associated
with Herpes is the develop-
ment of sexual dysfunction
an inability to perform sexual-
ly the way they once did. This
can take the form of im-
potence or premature ejacula-
tion in a man and an inability
to achieve orgasm in a woman.

In summary, the psycholo-
gical and sociological conse-
quences of Herpes are far
more unbearable than the
physical consequences.

close the whole game.
However, Victor-Virginia
Bouldin proved to be the
unlikely instrument by which
the Scouts won (and V.B. said
she'd rather be memorizing
Romantic Poetry!). Anyway,
she put Coleridge on the back
burner for an hour of activity
and joviality. What a role
model for the advantages of
an exercise-laden study break.
Who said seniors have to be
tired?

Pardon my digression the
final score was 26-24. Amy
Potts shared high scoring
honors with V.B. at eight
points apiece. Colleen McCoy,
zipping all over the court, piled
up six points for the Scoutet-
tes. And finally, "Granola"
Moorer, ask her what abstrac-
tion is, scored four points.

Fran Ivey contributed
energy and vigor to the

Sailor's game. Marcia
Mtichell, excuse my bizarre
spelling of January 31, whip-
ped around court to throw in
two points. Charla Willikam-
son shot for eight this week.
Yet, high scorer for the Sailors
was JoAnn Messick, that
redheaded dynamo, with 14
points.

What can I write to make
you come and watch the
games? Sue Whitten and
Carol Goodman came to
watch the second game this
week, many, many thanks to
them and their enthusiasm.
Both assured me that yelling
alleviated much of their study
anxiety, and was a healthy
outlet for student hostility.
Well, midterms are upon us,
what better time to test their
theory. Please come suport
your team, or even play, next
Monday night.

Admissions Procedure, Not Standards, Modified

by Mary MacKinnon

Increasing the enrollment of
Agnes Scott has become a re-
cent subject of conversation
on campus. Many suggestions
concerning ways to attract a
greater number of students to
the college have been discuss
ed. One of the most recent
ideas being circulated is that
President Schmidt has been
considering lowering the col-
lege's admission standards.
However, this idea is purely a
rumor. The truth of the matter
is that President Schmidt and
the Admissions Committee,
chaired by Ms. Judy Tindel, are
in the process of changing the
procedures, and not the stan-
dards, by which a student is
accepted to Agnes Scott.

According to Ms. Tindel,
Agnes Scott has been
operating by a rolling admis-
sions plan. She explained that
this means an applicant will
be notified of her acceptance
or rejection as soon as the ad-
missions committee has
reviewed her complete file.
During this decision process,
the applicant's file is cir-
culated among the members
of the committee at random,
Each member considers the
file and votes on the candidate

individually. President
Schmidt remarked that Agnes
Scott's admission process is
unique because while at other
colleges candidate rejection
may be deferred and the stu-
dent is put on a waiting list,
applicants to Agnes Scott are
told yes or no immediately.
President Schmidt said she
feels that the college may be
losing students because a
decision to reject is made ear-
ly. Therefore, she made the
suggestion to the admissions
committee that they defer
notifying candidates of rejec-
tion, and save the files of
these applicants for additional
reviewing at a later time. Im-
plementation of a waiting list
is also being considered.
President Schmidt would give
the admissions committee a
target number of students as a
goal. However, both she and
Ms. Tindel stressed that ap-
plicants will not be offered ad-
mission solely to fill a class. It
would be unfair to both the
student and the faculty to ad-
mit a student who would not
be able to succeed in her work
here. President Schmidt's view
of Agnes Scott is that the
Agnes Scott is that the
academic standards are set by
the faculty and what is re-

He will perform for the Kirk

Szeryng, whose Bach

tein to tears, will perform
Serge Prokofiev's "Sonate
No. 2 in D Major, Opus 94,"
George Gershwin's "Three

quired of a student in her work.
Ms. Tindel stated that she
feels a personal commitment
to admit students who would
be able to succeed
academically, and that this is
a critical factor. She said that
Agnes Scott's retention rate is
good, and that the academic
failure rate is low. This is a
good sign that the selection
process is good. She said she
feels that a change in admis-
sion procedure, which has
already been implemented
this year, will allow the admis-
sions committee to make a
more consistent and careful
selection of candidates. In
describing the new process,
she said that the files of the
applicants who were initially
rejected are deferred for a
joint meeting of the admis-
sions committee. In this
meeting each candidate's file
is considered by the commit-
tee as a whole. As a result of
this meeting, the applicant
may be offered admission, re-
jected, or deferred again.
There will be a central date set
by which all candidates will
know the committee's final
decision. By using this pro-
cess, the admissions commit-
tee would be able to reach the
goal of a target number of

students for a class while ad-
mitting fully qualified ap-
plicants.

A change in the admission
procedure will not lessen the
quality of an Agnes Scott
education, according to Ms.
Tindel. Rather, the change will
help to bring about a very con-
sistent admission policy, bas-
ed on careful consideration.
Both she and President
Schmidt commented that
there are always risks taken
when dealing with offering ad-
mission to a candidate. Even

though there are standards by
which to predict a prospective
student's success in college,
there are no absolute
guarantees. President
Schmidt feels that it would be
a sign that the Agnes Scott
community is not sure of what
it represents if it were afraid
that any change in admission
policy would reduce the high
standards at Agnes Scott. She
believes that the quality is
maintained by what is required
of a student for graduation,
more so than what is required
of a candidate for admission.

DUI Bills Dominate 1983
Legislation At Capitol

Lawmakers at the State
Capitol have taken the first
step in disposing of the issue
which has pervaded every
discussion of problems which
must be confronted . . . DUI
(Driving Under the Influence).

Legislation was passed
which increased the penalties
for persons convicted of
vehicular homicide from two
to 15 years in jail and a man-
datory three-year license
suspension with no limited
permits. Another important
provision of the legislation is
that Nolo Contendre, or no
contest pleas shall be con-
sidered and treated as a con-
viction for the purpose of
license revocation.

Legislation was also con-
firmed in the House which
would require 16-year-olds to
complete a six-hour alcohol
awareness course before
receiving their drivers
licenses.

The bill was sponsored by
House Speaker Tom Murphy
who said that "the best time to
correct a problem is before it
happens." Young persons who
either fail the course or fail to
take it would still be eligible to
receive their licenses at age
18.

The courses would be of-
fered to 13 to 16-year-old
public and private school
students as part of their nor-
mal classroom curriculums.
Supporters point out that the
measure will require very little
additional state expenditures
as qualified state safety
education instructors are
already on the Department of
Public Safety Payroll.

Several potentially con-
troversial pieces of legislation
cleared the State Senate and
now await further action. The
56- member Senate voted to in-
crease Georgia's drinking age
from 19 to 21. Proponents of
such legislation hope it would

alleviate alcohol related traffic
accidents and give young
adults "an additional two
years" to learn about the
dangers of alcohol. Op-
ponents, many of them ASC
students, question the
wisdom of establishing a
drinking age that differs from
the age of majority which car-
ries with it the right to vote,
serve in the military, even
enter into marriage without
parental consent. Backers of
the legislation have tabled the
legislation until next year,
realizing they did not have the
necessary support to get the
bill out of the House Commit-
tee.

Also now in a House Com-
mittee and awaiting further ac-
tion is a Senate-backed
measure which lowers the age
at which children can decide
which parent they want to live
with in the event of a divorce.
The Senate voted to lower the
age from 14 to 12.

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

by Laurie McBrayer

Did you know that the cam-
pus Film Series organization
might be dissolved by SGA?
One Rep Council proposal
asks that films be SGA-
sponsored and that only one
film be shown per quarter. Is
this what the campus com-
munity wants?

Tentatively, the Film Series
has only scheduled two more
films for the year. Three films
for winter quarter have been
cancelled. The reason that
Film Series may be suspended
is that it is nearly $500 in debt.
SGA has been picking up the
tab. Film Series is supposed to
be partially funded by SGA
($100-$200 each quarter) and
by profits from the showings.
Rental fees are normally $100
per film. In theory, the film
showings should pay for
themselves. However, on-
campus attendance has been
very low, and debts have ac-
crued.

The Film Series organiza-

tion should not be suspended.
Instead, the committee
members and Rep Council
should carefully evaluate the
purpose and performance of
the Film Series. Student input
is definitely necessary if
students do indeed want films
shown on campus. Perhaps
more publicity is needed. Or,
perhaps the films shown are
not appealing.

More than likely, however,
the large debts are arising
because the films are shown
on Mondays, when many
organizations hold meetings
and students really crack the
books. It is my suggestion,
and I feel that many will agree,
that films should be shown at
the end of the week, either on
Thursdays, or on weekends.
Both Emory and Tech show
films on the weekends. In fact
most campuses provide
regular weekend entertain-
ment for students.

During the last two
weekends in January there

were no big events on campus
for students. Similarly, only
Sophomore Parents' Weekend
highlights the last three
weekends in February. I think
that students would enjoy hav-
ing the opportunity to see
movies on the weekends on
campus, whether with friends,
or boyfriends. In addition,
members of the community
would probably attend
because the admission fee is
much lower compared to the
changes at movie theatres.

A member of the Film Series
organization told me that a
majority of each audience con-
sists of members of the com-
munity, not Agnes Scott
students. I think that it is good
that Agnes Scott draws out-
siders to its public events,
however, an organization such
as Film Series really should
cater to the students. I think
that showing films on a dif-
ferent night of the week would
greatly increase attendance
and even create profit.

Dear Editor:

As a recent graduate of

here are pampered too much.
However, as present Assistant
Supervisor of Custodial Ser-
vices, I am much more aware
of students' lack of respon-
sibility in keeping their dorms
clean than I was a year ago.
Furthermore, most students
are not aware of all the jobs
performed by the maids in the
dormitories.

Maids are not just trash col-
lectors and sweepers on each
hall. Each bathroom is clean-
ed daily. All maids clean at
least two bathrooms every

bathrooms on every
This involves scrubbing
toilet bowl, seat and
mopping the floors,

bathrooms are well supplied.
In addition to this, each maid
must daily vacuum, sweep her
hallways, wash all the window
sills, clean the telephone
booths and sweep two sets of
stairways. One maid in every
building checks the attic
weekly while another cleans
the elevator cab.

All this work requires
responsibility, dedication, and
a daily routine. At present,
there are various cleaning
duties assigned to students
living in the dormitories. On
every hall in eveiy dorm,
students fail to demonstrate
the three requirements
previously mentioned for even
the few jobs they are assign-
ed. Included in these cleaning
tasks are use and
maintenance of the student
vacuum cleaner, maintenance
of the bathroom (i.e., cleaning
the tubs, flushing the toilets,
throwing trash in the trash
receptacles and not on floors
and shower benches), storage
of the furniture in the attic,
maintenance of the kitchen,
the walls in the telephone
booths and the elevator cabs.

Each hall on campus is sup-
plied with a student vacuum
cleaner. These were bought
and distributed a few years
ago when some students did
not want the maids coming in-
to their rooms. These vacuums
were given to the students to
be taken care of by the
students. In a recent equip-
ment inventory we found 13
out of the 16 student vacuums
inoperable. The main cause of
this machinery failure was
simple neglect on the part of
the user. Many parts were
destroyed and others were
missing entirely. Thus, some
maids were required to re-
schedule their work day to
clean and fix vacuum cleaners
that belong to and are the
responsibility of the students.

Cleaning bathrooms is a
hard enough job when the peo-
ple using them take some care
in keeping them clean. Quite a
few students use these
facilities without thinking of
others who also use the
facilities or the maid who must
clean them. Each morning the
maids go into the bathrooms
with unflushed toilets and dir-

-EXTENSION 385-

by Nancy Childers

Should our student activity fee be increased so that the of-
ficers of SGA would receive a salary? Now that I have your at-
tention ... I want you to know that Rep Council is working hard
to ensure that your $75 student activity fee is distributed fairly
among our campus organizations and spent carefully to pro-
vide worthwhile extracurricular activities, creative entertain-
ment, and opportunities for valuable leadership experiences
for each one of you.

To answer that ridiculous opening question, NO; I see no
reason for our present activity fee to be increased. Despite In-
evitable inflation, a smaller student body, and increasing re-
quests for larger budgets for many organizations, the student
activity fee will not be changed. This means that the ambitious
plans and detailed budgets of each organization must be
evaluated with utmost attention to student needs and the pur-
pose of each organization. Rep Council, along with almost
every person in our college community, is very alert to our pre-
sent financial situation and is trying to be as conservative as
necessary now while we also plan for the future.

For instance, Rep voted to approve a detailed Treasurer
Evaluation form which would be completed by each SGA-
sponsored organization so that any overexpenditures or sav-
ings could be easily evaluated and this information would be
most helpful in planning future budgets or making recommen-
dations for future plans. Rep also discussed the possibility of
appointing an Assistant Treasurer from the 1983-84 junior and
senior representatives. This new position would help to
minimize the time-consuming procedures of writing and receiv-
ing check requests as well as improve the organization and ef-
ficiency of the duties of the treasurer. Also, with future cut-
backs in mind, Rep discussed the possibility of printing our
Student Handbook on an alternate year basis. Changes in con-
stitutions, new policies, and the members of student organiza-
tions would be printed in a supplement to the Handbook on the
alternate year.

What about the present? As you know, Rep Council is work-
ing closely with Film Series to cover their debts and evaluate
the student support of this organization so that constructive
ideas may be implemented immediately. SGA simply cannot
afford such costly mistakes of student organizations not if
we plan to continue supporting projects like the 1982 Women's
Symposia, appreciating the benefits of GSA, and planning to
finance similar services to the students in the future. This does
not mean that student organizations are not our priority. Rep
simply wants to be able to afford the best extracurricular
schedule available for our energetic, diversified student body.
After evaluating our involvement and satisfaction with GSA
this year, Rep voted to renew our membership and SGA paid
the $100 fee.

To combine thoughts of both present and future, I am happy
to report that our investment of SGA savings, earlier this year
has already produced benefits. We have increased our funds
by approximately $22 and look forward to similar returns
throughout the year. This money will be used for travel pur-
poses as well as special projects for organizations with the ap-
proval of Rep Council in each circumstance. So you see, the
shocking question at the beginning of this article is balanced
with the pleasant news of our increasing assets.

Since I still have your attention, let me remind you that Rep
Council meets tomorrow (and EVERY Tuesday!) at 6:30 pm in
Rebekah. See you there!

WLN Experiences Difficulty
In Networking At ASC

by Kitsie Bassett

Establishing a new
organization on campus is no
easy task as Meg Jenkins has
discovered. Meg has been at-
tempting to establish a
political organization
representing women's issues,
Women's Leadership Network
(WLN), on campus. On Wed.,
Feb. 9, the Board of Student
Activities (BSA) met with the
presidents of all SGA
organizations to discuss the
issue and vote on whether or
not to recommend to SGA the
establishment of such an
organization. At the conclu-
sion of the discussion, the
group voted nine to one not to
recommend the approval of
the WLN constitutional by-
laws as they stood.

According to Meg Jenkins
who currently serves as the
Southeastern Coordinator for
the United States Student
Association Women's Coali-
tion, chapters of WLN would
eventually be established at
all GSA member campuses in
the state, thereby creating an
information network for
women students.

WLN would not be affiliated
with the national organization
and would not obligate Agnes
Scott to support the platform
of USSA. She stresses that
WLN is strictly a non-partisan
organization and that its
members would lobby on an
individual basis, not an institu-
tional basis. WLN would ad-
dress issues such as ERA,
reproductive rights, child care
centers, battered women and
Title IX, and provide women
with the necessary leadership
and organizational skills to
combat sex discrimination.

Meg has proposed to fund
WLN through non-mandatory
membership dues and by cor-
porate grants. At present, she

feedback

is not asking for SGA funding,
but does not feel that the by-
laws should prohibit the ac-
ceptance of SGA funds, as no
other organization is required
to make this type of conces-
sion.

At the heart of this debate is
whether Agnes Scott really
needs such an organization.
Meg clearly thinks so stating,
"No other organization on
campus specifically ad-
dresses women's issues. Par-
ticipants at the BSA meeting
apparently also agree with
this, as they voted nine to two
that such a need did exist, but
their later vote indicated that
WLN was not the group to
fulfill this need. Those voting
against WLN felt that this
need could be best served
through already existing
organizations, such as
Students Working for
Awareness. Meg maintains
that SWA is too broad and
does not soley dedicate itself
to women's issues.

Meg also pointed out that
many student constituencies
were not represented at the

BSA meeting. She com-
mented, "Where does respon-
sibility begin and end on this
campus? The fact that there
was a lack of attendance on
the part of board chairpersons
indicates the fact that they
were neglectful in their
responsibilities to students on
this campus."

The end of all this discus-
sion is that supporters of WLN
are willing to compromise.
They want SGA to approve and
recognize WLN on a trial
basis. This trial period would
extend to June, 1984 during
which time the organization
would receive no SGA funding.
The entire organization would
then be re-evaluated in June of
1984. Meg feels that a crucial
factor in the success of WLN
is SGA recognition.

At the Feb. 15 Rep Council
meeting,* members did not
follow BSA's recommenda-
tion. They voted to approve
WLN on a two year basis
without SGA funding.

Five Faculty Vacancies
To Be Filled

by Laurie McB

According to President
Schmidt, a search has begun
for five new full-time pro-
fessors to fill vacancies in the
following departments: Bible
and Religion, Chemistry,
French, Math, and Spanish.
Prof. Gordon McNeer of the
Spanish department has
already left. The College is ac-
cepting a full-time Spanish
professor, to be shared with
Oglethorpe, to replace the
part-time position formerly
held by Prof. McNeer. Mrs.

Mary Sheats will retire from
the Bible department at the
end of the year. Mr. Paul
Kuznesof (chemistry), Mr. Don
Young (math), and Mrs. Claire
Whitehill (French) will not
return to ASC next year.

President Schmidt said that
the College is trying to keep
down the number of part-time
positions.

She also said that she
hopes students will be involv-
ed in the interviewing process.
That way, she said, the Col-
lege will be "more likely to find
the person who will fit well."

Israeli defense minister
Ariel Sharon was forced to
resign after a commission of
inquiry issued findings giving
the Israeli government official
"indirect responsibility" for
the Beirut massacre. In the
massacre hundreds of Palesti-
nian civilians were killed by
Christian militiamen in the
Chatilla and Sabra refugee
camps on September 16-18,
1982.

Sharon initially refused to
resign his post, but he
relented later in the week. He
will remain in the Israeli
cabinet as an advisor.

Thousands of Iranian troops
began a new attempt to invade
Iraq in what Tehran news
sources have called Iran's big-
gest offensive since the war
began in September, 1980. Iran
claimed to have occupied 100

square miles of Iraqi territory,
but the Iraqis said that the in-
vasion had been repulsed.

The Independent Truckers
Association called off its na-
tionwide strike 11 days after it
began when it became evident
that the protest was stopping
on its own. One driver was kill-
ed and 97 others were injured
during the strike.

In his annual State of
Judiciary address, U. S.
Supreme Court Justice Warren
Burger asked Congress to
create a temporary panel of
judges to settle conflicting rul-
ings among the circuit courts
of appeal, and perhaps
disputes over federal statutes.
Burger blamed the court's
overwhelming caseload for the
problems.

Wholesale prices fell a full
percentage point in January,
which as the biggest decline

Due to the recent discussion concerning dining hall budget
cuts, Students for Black Awareness decided that dining hall
employees deserved some appreciation. This was done on
Valentine's Day by giving each employee a red carnation and
decorating the dining hall with red and pink hearts. Honoring
the dining hall employees was just one of the many projects
SBA has done during February in recognition of Black History
Month. Photo by Kathy Leggett.

ty bathtubs and sinks. In my
house, it is common decency
to flush the toilets after each
use; so should it be in your
dorms. Students using the
bathtubs are asked to clean
the tub out after they use it;
there are signs to this effect
by most tubs. However, tubs
are often left too dirty for
anyone else to use. One tub on
campus is repeatedly left with
dirty water standing in it over-
night. Although the maids
clean the tubs daily, they are
not required to scrub them out
after each use that is your
responsibility. Sinks are left
dirty when running the water a
few moments longer would
clean them.

Seldom do students move
into their dorm rooms without
moving some furniture to the
attic. It is the responsibility of
these students to store their
furniture in such a way that it
does not block the attic
passage this is an or-
dinance from the fire marshall.
Out of the four dorms which
have attics, only one is
passable without having to

walk through a maze of desks,
dressers, beds, lamps and
chairs. The duty of the maid
assigned to the attic is to
check for leaks, rodents, burn-
ed out lights and to make sure
the doors stay shut and lock-
ed. She is not to store the
furniture left by students.
However, one maid recently
reported that she had to move
numerous dressers in the attic
just to get out of the elevator!

All dorm kitchens and the
appliances therein are to be
kept clean by the students.
The maids do wipe out the
sink, stove and refrigerator on
a weekly basis. Often times,
the sinks and stoves are too
filled with dirty dishes for the
maids to clean. The various
stages of mold growth in many
refrigerators would be a
bonanza find for any botany
student. Maids cannot clean
refrigerators overflowing with
foods.

The condition of the phone
booth and elevator walls is a
disgrace. Responsible people

simply do not write on walls.
Cleaning ink from painted
walls is a laborious and costly
(to you, the student) task.

I hope that I have given
enough examples of students'
lack of responsibility, dedica-
tion, and pride in keeping their
dorms clean. When I see these
few jobs being neglected, it is
hard to envision students
scrubbing down bathrooms
daily. In addition, most
students' schedule cannot
allow enough time to clean the
dormitories with the
thoroughness required.

From your article, it is
unclear whether you are ad-
vocating total elimination of
maids in the dormitories or a
reduction in hours. I believe
the former is quite impossible,
though the latter may have
some merit. However, before
one goes suggesting reduc-
tions in personnel and / or
hours, she ought to study in
depth the job description of
the person in question; can the
duties performed by that per-

son be eliminated entirely or
must someone else take on
more jobs to cover the vacant
position; can and will this
someone do the jobs? After
such an investigation, the cut-
backs might not seem so 'ob-
vious.' Perhaps you and your
friends wouldn't mind empty-
ing trash and vacuuming rugs;
I think that is a wonderful idea.
But, are you ready and willing
(and do you have the time) to
keep the private facilities
clean enough for student
health reasons?

Sincerely,
Alice Todd Butler
Assistant Supervisor
of Custodial Services

Dear Alice:

By no means was I sug-
gesting the elimination of
custodial employees. Any in-
stitution requires
maintenance of its buildings
and public facilities such as
bathrooms and dining areas. I
support President Schmidt's

efforts in this area to not fill a
vacancy should one occur. As
you have indicated, the dor-
mitory employees are over-
worked. What I am suggesting
is that students take a greater
responsibility in caring for
their private rooms. In this
way, workers will have less to
do. In essence, students
receive too much catering at
ASC.

I am not advocating that
students clean public
facilities on a volunteer basis.
However, a greater number of
student jobs would be possi-
ble if students cleaned kit-
chens, bathrooms, and worked
in the dining hall. If more cam-
pus jobs evolved, a cutback in
hours for ASC employees
might be possible, and even
necessary due to finances of
the College.

I realize too, that cutbacks
in administration and other
levels of the College should be
considered, in addition to the
ones I have indicated.

Minister Describes Perceptions of Hunger

by Debbie McLaughlin

As an opening lead to his
lecture "How Do We Live in a
Hungry World?," Reverend
James A. Cogswell com-
mented, "One of my friends
has posed the image of an um-
brella which covers what many
people don't understand as
related to the attack on the
world's hunger program."

The director of the Office of
World Service and World
Hunger for the Presbyterian
Church, U.S., sees the way we
look at hunger as a measure of
the depth of our understan-
ding of the kind of world in
which we live.

In this fourth lecture for the
"Issues for Citizens" convoca-
tion series, Feb. 9, the minister
said, "There are four levels of
our perception of a hungry
world."

The first perception is for
people to see hunger in terms
and lack of food, a sudden
disruption of food production
and distribution.

"Contributing to this lack of
food are man-made disasters.
People should realize that
man-made disasters, such as
civil war and oppression, now
far outweigh natural disasters,
floods and draughts, by 50 per-
cent," Rev. Cogswell disclos-
ed.

"Churches in the U.S. have
responded to the needs of
these countries without food.
However, food-aid can be
detrimental if it competes with
the production of food in that
country or is used as a
political weapon to favor some
and leave others alone. Food-
aid can be a band-aid that
covers cancer and causes a
deeper problem," he pointed
out.

Rev. Cogswell continued by
saying, "Church support is not
enough, though. One out of
eight people in the world is so
mal-nourished that his life will
be cut short, and one out of
four persons continues to be
hungry. Citizens have to think
beyond private agencies."

In 1974 at the World Food
Conference, a plan was pro-
posed where nations would
work together for a world food
security system. There is now
an international system of na-
tionally held reserves that
enable the market not to go
through a boom or bust cycle.

Rev. Cogswell stated, "A se-
cond perception of the world's
hunger is viewed in terms of
the lack of knowledge of
underdevelopment. The World
Food Conference recom-
mends that in a food deficit
country, real food security
depends upon an increase in
food production by small
farmers within those countries
themselves. New nations in
the last 20 years have pushed
for urban development and
have neglected agriculture to
the point where there is a food
deficit."

"Churches with their col-
leagues overseas have done a
tremendous job in building
role models which can be
adapted in the areas of
agriculture, public housing,
family planning, and commer-
cial development. Yet, all of
the contributions of churches
and private agencies could be
wiped out by one amendment
to the Development of
Assistance Bill of the U.S. as
far as financial assistance is
concerned," Rev. Cogswell
stated.

"The U.S. is moving from an
air of high idealism to crass
cynicism. Our country now
contributes less than two-
thirds of one percent to food-
aid assistance for developing
countries."

At this point Rev. Cogswell
recited an appropriate quote
by Indira Ghandi, prime
minister of India:

"With the awesome total of
about 1.3 billion the world now
spends on arms, the money to
eliminate hunger could easily
be found. The cost of a single
ICBM could plant 20 million
trees, irrigate 2Vi million
acres, feed 50 million mal-
nourished children, buy a
million tons of fertilizer, erect
a million small bio-gas plants,
and build 65,000 health care
centers all for the cost of one
ICBM."

"Where are our priorities?"
Rev. Cogswell asked.

The third level of understan-
ding a hungry world is difficult
to see from our country's
perspective, but better seen
from the perspective of the na-
tions of the third world, it is a
level of injustice and exploita-
tion where rural farmers lose
their land at accelerating
rates, land that has been in the

family for generations.

"This land is pulled into a
multi-national food production
business. The food that is pro-
duced no longer feeds those
people within that area, but is
used as cash crops for nations
that are already well-fed," Rev.
Cogswell related.

The minister continued, "A
book came out a few years ago
called North and South: A Pro-
gram for Survival, the result
done by a study of represen-
tatives of both rich and poor
nations. Some major points in
the book are systems of in-
justice and exploitation that
people need to consider."

"Trade reform is one ex-
ploitation where poor nations
are still caught in a pattern of
the colonial era. Raw
materials and natural
resources are sold for the
lowest possible price and
bought back in the completed
product at a very high price.
This calls for a price stabiliz-
ing agreement with rich na-
tions," Rev. Cogswell noted.

"Also, there is the control of
corporate involvement in the
third world, a serious problem
of the deepening in-
debtedness of poor countries
due to the loans of developed
countries. Food-aid is sold at a
low interest loan; however, in-
terest is paid back in almost
the amount received in aid.
The policies and practices of
corporations within the U.S.
have a severe effect on both
the economy and food situa-
tion within developing coun-
tries."

The fourth and deepest level
of hunger is seen as a struggle
for global survival. "Our coun-
try has recognized that we are
rapidly approaching the outer
limits of the life sustaining
capacities of planet earth. We
look at this problem from the
dimension that the blame
should be placed on the
population explosion inex-
tricably bound up by the poor
and hungry of the third world,"
Rev. Cogswell stated.

"On the other hand, these
nations view this problem
from the perspective that a
consumption explosion is our
problem. We have consumed
more in the past 15 years than
all other previous generations.
It has turned out to be that the
so-called have nations are now

Spring Course and Section Changes

Course and section changes for the spring quarter must be made on Tuesday, February 22,
and Wednesday, February 23. Students who want to make 1) changes in the courses they have
selected for the spring quarter or 2) section changes in year or two-quarter courses continuing
from the fall or winter quarters may do so on these two days. These students who have not com-
pleted course cards for the spring quarter must do so on one of these two days. Specific in-
structions regarding course change days were sent to students in the campus mail.

The red-tag list will be posted on the official bulletin board in the lobby of Buttrick prior to
February 22. Red-tagged students must have errors corrected or obtain required signatures on
February 22 and 23.

Students are responsible for working out and checking their own schedules and must resolve
any conflicts on these two days. Students with schedule conflicts are not included on the red-
tag list. If a spring quarter course conflicts with a multi-section year or two-quarter course for
which the student is already registered, the student must make the necessary section changes
on February 22 and 23. No section changes for courses continuing from the fall or winter
quarters can be made during scheduling (March 11).

Careful checking of course cards and schedules can prevent problems on scheduling day.
Course cards wll be available in the Registrar's Office on February 22 and 23. Uncorrected er-
rors on course change days mean students will be red-tagged for scheduling and will
automatically be in the last group to schedule on March 11.

After February 23. no course or section changes can be made until the drop / add period dur-
ing spring quarter (March 28-April 6).

utterly dependent on the so-
called have-not nations for
survival. We can no longer get
along by ourselves because
we have exhausted particular
natural resources," the
minister said.

After explaining these four
perceptions of hunger, Rev.
Cogswell made a few sugges-
tions of how our country can
"work for a workable world
where there is food for all."

"We need to understand
that the divisions between na-
tional and political economic
systems are lines that fade in-
to the insignificance. We are
bound to one another. Also,
sheer ingenuity isn't going to
do it. We need long range com-
mitments that have hope at
the end of the tunnel."

"Secondly, we need to act
within the public policy of this
nation. There is now a Hunger

Lobby group that continually
presses our representatives to
enable this country to fulfill its
very distinctive role in a
hungry world."

"Furthermore, citizens need
to support the efforts of
sincere, genuine, and private
agencies, especially the
church. There is a sophistica-
tion, competence, and com-
mitment that cannot be
bought or found by govern-
ment and international agen-
cies.

"Finally, we need to learn a
new way of thinking and living.
We must see ourselves per-
sonally and corporately bound
up in our world."

Rev. Cogswell retold what a
Roman Catholic sister once
said: "We must learn to live
more simply so that others
may simply live."

Psi Phi Symposium

(ft 7 $*||f

by Marcia G. Whetsel

The third annual Emory
Science Fiction and Fantasy
Symposium was held at
Emory's White Hall on Feb.
11-13. The symposium, spon-
sored by the Emory science
fiction organization, Psi Phi,
consisted of lectures by
leading science fiction
authors, several films and
slideshows, a Dungeons and
Dragons tournament, and
several panel discussions.

The featured guests were
Robert Bloch, David Gerrold,
Michael Bishop, Gerald Page,
and Hank Reinhardt. Robert
Bloch is a Hugo Award win-
ning author of short stories,
articles and books. His most
famous works are Psycho and
Psycho II. David Gerrold,
another well-established
science fiction novelist, par-
ticipated in the symposium.
Gerrold began his career by
writing one of Star Trek's most
popular episodes, "The Trou-
ble With Tribbles." He has
since written many other TV
scripts, including episodes of
Logan's Run, Land of the Lost,
and Battle for the Planet of the
Apes. He also served as story
editor for Buck Rogers.

The films shown during the
symposium were A Clockwork
Orange, Star Trek: The Wrath
of Khan, Metropolis, Outland,
and Psycho.

The sideshows centered on
Star Trek and included topics
such as "A Review of the
Enterprise Crew." "A Tour of
the USS Enterprise," and "Mis-
sion and Men." The
slideshows were provided by
the Atlanta Star Trek Realist
Association.

The panel discussions were
"Is Spock's Return Viable?" by
the Atlanta Star Trek Realist
Association, and "Fandom in

Class of '83
Facing Bleak
Job Outlook

The panic is beginning to
set in at colleges and univer-
sities across the country. That
panic from graduating
students not being able to find
a job in their desired field.

May graduates are facing
bleak recruiting from most ma-
jor companies. Starting
salaries are expected to re-
main at basically 1982 levels,
although some companies will
offer marginally higher
starting salaries.

A glut of Master of Business
Administration (MBA)
graduates is causing panic
also. Graduates from well-
known colleges will face
somewhat better prospects,
since companies will be able
to pick out the best students
from the best schools.

Many students will be forc-
ed to take jobs outside of their
chosen specialty, as well as
outside of their chosen field.

Atlanta," by the Atlanta
Science Fiction Club.

The Emory Psi Phi organiza-
tion was founded in 1980 by
Emory students who wanted a
science fiction club on cam-
pus which could organize
events such as the symposium
and bring science fiction pro-
gramming to the Emory cam-
pus.

The Atlanta Star Trek
Realist Association was form-
ed several years ago to pro-
mote the ideals and
philosophies which are em-
bodied in Star Trek.

The Atlanta Science Fiction
Club is the oldest and most ac-
tive science fiction club in the
metro Atlanta area and is a
melding of all of the varied en-
thusiasts of the genre of
speculative fiction.

It was cheese not chocolate for Valentine's as Interdorm threw its annual Valentine's Day
campus-wide party. Most students, like those pictured above, didn't seem to mind too much.

Blackfriar One-Acts
in Review

by Elizabeth Faulkner
Stevenson

The Blackfriars at Agnes
Scott College and the Depart-
ment of Theatre presented two
evenings of student-directed
one-act plays which were final
projects from the Advanced
Directing class under the
supervision of Dr. Jack T.
Brooking. The plays were free,
open to the public, and were
held in the Winter Theatre of
the Dana Fine Arts Building on
both Friday and Saturday,
February 11 and 12, at 8:15 pm.

The first play of the evening,
"Ludlow Fair," written by Lan-
ford Wilson and directed by
Lisa Willoughby, gave a
realistic account of two room-
mates living in New York City
and the games that they play.
The cast included Barbara
Caulk who assumed the role of
Rachel, the lovesick "Daisy
May" and her roommate
Agnes, played by Miriam
Campbell. Agnes attempts to
humor Rachel out of her
depression with her witty ren-
dition of Charlie Chaplin, but
grows disgusted with her
"Cotton Queen" roommate.
"Ludlow Fair" was an
hilarious depiction of the
typical roommate life and a

play to which many Agnes
Scott students could relate.

The second play, "To Burn a
Witch," written by James L.
Bray, and directed by Susan
Boyd, was a powerful drama
about two young women
whose friendship and faith
were put to the test during the
seventeenth century witch
trials in Salem,

Massachusetts. The cast in-
cluded Dee Moore who played
the role of Mary Abigail Gen-
try, one of the two accused
witches, and Miriam Garrett
who played the role of Ruth
Hannah Smith, the other ac-
cused witch. Dame Stanley,
played by Julie Norton and
Widow Jones, played by
Margaret Shippen, were the
two charge bearers. The test
of friendship evolves when
Mary is told that she must con-
fess to being a witch in order
to save not only herself, but
also her friend, Ruth. Mary, be-
ing a devout Christian, cannot
lie, and she chooses to burn in
the fire. Ruth is the weaker of
the two, and she turns on
Mary, claiming her to be the
"real" witch, thus saving
herself and forfeiting their
friendship. "To Burn a Witch"
was a high intensity perfor-
mance.

The third and final one-act
play, "Maggie and the Bird Go
Fishing," was written by
Dudley W. Sanders, an instruc-
tor in theatre at Agnes Scott,
and directed by Cayce
Callaway. The setting is a
dock located on the Cuyahoga
River in Cleveland, Ohio,
where three friends teach
each other to believe in their
dreams. Maggie, played by
Maggie Taylor, is a fifteen-
year-old girl who has a dream
about catching fish. Bound
and determined to do so, she
and her friend Bird, an old
blind man, played by George
Bowling, find the perfect dock.
Bird grows bored and Maggie,
frustrated, and the two bicker
constantly. Finally Keith,
played by Mark Perry, appears
on the scene and assumes the
role of the level-headed
mediator. The three wind up
closer than ever.

The turn-out for the one-acts
was almost a full house on
both Friday and Saturday
nights. "Ludlow Fair," "To
Burn a Witch" and "Maggie
and the Bird Go Fishing"
received tremendous ap-
plause, and on Saturday the
audience was especially
responsive. The plays were
high quality performances,
diverse in plot and exceptional
in execution.

"Making It"

A new magazine is helping
both graduates and displaced
workers find new employment.

The magazine, "Making It,"
is full of information about
jobs available and how to go
after them. The magazine is
published four times a year,
and has a distribution of
around 30,000. Most of the
advertising is from recruiters.

A response card in each
issue enables readers to circle
a company they are interested
in, and the publisher of the
magazine, 31-year-old Karen
Rubin will forward their
resume to that company.

The magazine's editorial
content usually profiles
specific companies, with the
approach of relaying to the
reader what type of jobs are
available with that company.

THE NEW MUSEUM

View from Peachtree Street

The white porcelain panels now almost completely cover the exterior of the New High
Museum building. Framing for the wrap-around glass sections on the front of the building
begins this month, while applications of granite to the lower areas of the building con-
tinues. Work on the interior is well underway and the projected opening date remains Oc-
tober, 1983. Plans for the opening celebration are nearing completion. The announcement
in August 1982 of the $900,000 Callaway Challenge Grant has given a valuable boost to the
Campaign for a new High Museum. Since the announcement, approximately $1 million has
been raised against the two-for-one challenge. The overall campaign stands at a little over
$18 million, not including the funds from Callaway.

Spectator Calls the Shots

by Susan Whitten
introductory comments
by Caroline Bleke

I was unable to attend this
past week's game due to prior
commitments. Susan Whitten,
this week's guest columnist,
made an appearance and
scribbled copious notes of the
festivities. See what happens
when you come to a Monday
night extravaganza? You not
only get to vent those sub-
conscious hostilities, but you
also get to (maybe) write an ar-
ticle about the experience.
Perhaps it would be best to
turn the proverbial typewriter
over to Miss Whitten and let
her give a blow by blow
description of the evening:

The game began with two
very vocal male cheerleaders
imported from UGA. To
balance them out, Clarice
Bouldin, Nancy Childers and
Teller McCoy worked out their
frustrations by yelling from
the sidelines against Bradie
Barr, "the prez," and Kathleen
Dombhart, the two sophomore
fans.

Although the game began
with a 4-0 lead for the Kids the
seniors quickly changed that
to a 16-4 lead by the end of the
first quarter. By halftime, after
much running back and forth,
the seniors still held the lead
at 18-12.

Kathryn Hart appropriately
appeared onValentine's Day to
give the seniors some new
energy. Despite being hit in
the head, Fed Head Hart made
all efforts possible to
strengthen her team's power.

Laura Feese soars.

She made a basket in the pro-
cess.

At the same time, "Zoom"
Hoffland tore down the court
like she had been hit by a
lightning streak. Zoom was
high scorer for the Kids,
however she fouled out in the
fourth quarter and the Kids
suffered from the loss. Robin

scored for 14 points.

Scout's high scorer, Amy
"Tish" Potts, also had 14
points, kept her team under
control and recovered the ball
several times from the
sophomore's fumbling.

"Idaho Belle," Becky
Moorer, also supported her
team by sinking eight points,
while "Teller" McCoy and
"Dancy" Childers sunk four
points each. Even though Nan-
cy played well enough to
create some smoke, she ap-
peared to be in a fog for most
of the game. Fellow loyal
Scouts, Clarice Bouldin and
Bonysan Stone, each con-
tributed two points.

In- the other camp, the Sun-
dance Kids' Ann Lindell gave
an incredible performance re-
bounding and helping team-
mates Andee Snell and Laura
Lones to remove her headgear,
she managed to support her
team well. Jumper Fritz Feese
was challenged to several ball-
jumps by opposing weasel
"Dancy" Childers. Liz Fowler
rounded out the Sundance
team with a fine show of sport-
smanship and competitive
spirit.

Thanks go to Janet Dawson,
who came to help Bradie pep
up the Kids in the second half.
Thanks also to our impromptu
scorekeepers, Kathy Nelson,
Shari Nichols and Elisabeth
Smith

To comprehend all the crazy
inuendoes of this report, come
to tonight's game and find out
for yourself!

Tennis Season Begins

by Caroline Bleke

The Agnes Scott tennis
team begins their season with
a practice match against
North DeKalb Community Col-
lege tomorrow. They will play
at NDCC at 3 pm. Later this
week, the team is sponsoring
a four school match. Brenau,
Tift College and Flagler Col-
lege from Florida will com-
pete. Mark your calendars and
plan to be at the courts
(remember where they are?) at
9 on Friday morning, and at 12
and 3 pm on Saturday to yell
and scream (moderately) for
the ASC team. Please refer to
a team member for proper
tennis-spectator etiquette.

The following Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday, March
5-7, the team will compete in
the Georgia Intercollegiate
Tournament at the South
Fulton Tennis Center. Every
college in Georgia (including
UGA) will play. Not only will
spectators witness excellent
tennis playing, they will also
be able to get an early start on
their tans . . . legs that is.

Come out to all of these
events and support the ASC
team. Members include: Sue
Feese, Virginia Bouldin, Amy
Puckett, Tracy Baker, Jeanne
Bartlett, Sarah Bell, Robyn
Hoffland, Judy Heath, Scott
Posey, Petra Dotson, and
Suzanne Waller.

Under the leadership of

Tracy Baker waits.

JoAnn Messick, coach for the
past four years, this team will
undoubtedly go far. They have
been third in their division for
the past two years. With stu-
dent support, they can certain-
ly climb to number one.

HERPES: A Virus That Remains For Life

by Tracey Veal
Herpes cannot be cured. It
does not respond to any
known therapy. Once a person
is infected, the virus remains
for life.

To date, there is no known
medical treatment proven to
be completely effective
against genital or oral herpes.
There are, however, several ex-
perimental drugs that may
prove to shorten the normal
course of the disease and in
some circumstances, reduce
the number of recurrences.
The following drugs are only
available on an experimental
basis.

Acyclovir. The initial studies
using this drug on genital and
oral lesions completed in the
United States have shown
Acyclovir to produce a reduc-
tion in pain and viral shedding
from the lesion, but the time to
complete healing was not
proven to be shortened. More
investigation is currently tak-
ing place to study how effec-
tive the drug is when it is ap-
plied at the first sign of a le-
sion. Earlier studies did not
begin treatment until 24 hours
after the lesion appeared. This
may be the reason why more
dramatic results were not ob-
tained. Acyclovir has been in-
vestigated for use in Herpes of
the eye and Herpes in immune
deficient persons (bone mar-
row transplant patients, pa-
tients receiving chemo-

therapy) with favorable
results. It is also being in-
vestigated for use in newborns
with Herpes.

Interferon. Interferon is a
substance naturally produced
in the body in response to
virus infections. Experiments
performed on individuals
undergoing surgery on the
trigeminal nerve, who were at
high risk of developing oral
herpes lesions, resulted in a
significant reduction in the
number of patients experienc-
ing a recurrence. Yet other in-
vestigations have not been as
favorable. Producing in-
terferon is costly, and this has
limited the amount of ex-
perimentation.

Several other drugs have
had limited success in animal
studies or human studies and
need to be investigated more
extensively. These drugs in-
clude: 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose,
Zinc in combination with Ultra-
sound, and Phosphonofor-
mate.

The following drugs are
available by prescription or
may be found in a pharmacy:

Ixouridine in combination
with DMSO may shorten the
duration of the lesion. It is
most often used to treat
Herpes eye infection. It is
without side effects and is
potentially carcinogenic. It is
also used for Herpes infec-
tions in newborns.

Adenine Arabinoskle is not

effective for oral or genital
Herpes. It is considered an ef-
fective treatment for Herpes
eye infections.

L-Lysine is an amino acid
found to inhibit the growth of
Herpes in the laboratory.
Results of human trails with
lysine have had varied results.
The effect of large quantities

Rep Debates Food Survey Result and WLN

by Tracey Veal

Two of the hottest issues
discussed at Rep Council's
last meeting, were proposed
changes by the Food Commit-
tee, chaired by Julie Babb ('83)
and a proposal sponsored by
Meg Jenkins ('84) to establish
a Women's Leadership Net-
work.

Julie Babb presented the
results of the Food Survey.
Ways to cut costs included:

'Using stainless steel in-
stead of silver-plated silver-
ware ($1000's of dollars are
spent yearly replacing lost'
silverware).

* Fewer choices for desserts

'Tablecloths: Of the 154
persons answering the survey
49 said tablecloths were not
important. It is important to
note that it costs the Dining
Hall over $300 monthly to use

tablecloths. No decision has
been made to abolish
tablecloths.

*lce cream: Ice cream was
only mentioned by one of the
respondents to the survey.

*Pres. Schmidt suggested a
daily option of soup and salad
instead of two entrees.

The Dining Hall Administra-
tion will make a final decision
on these suggestions in the
coming weeks.

The most debated issue on
the Rep Council Meeting was
the establishment of a
Women's Leadership Network.
Carol Goodman ('83), chair-
man of the Board of Student
Activities, conducted an in-
vestigation of the proposed
organization. According to
Meg Jenkins ('84) sponsor of
the proposal, a Women's
Leadership Network (WLN) is a

necessity particularly for a
women's college. No other
organization on campus
directly confronts issues
which significantly affect
women." A WLN would also
provide a network for informa-
tion exchange and provide a
lobbying group for issues con-
cerning women's rights. The
members of WLN would vote
on the issues which they see
as most pertinent and reach a
consensus as to how the
group would stand on the
issue. Funding would come
from membership dues and
donations from the private
sector. Membership would be
open to the entire ASC com-
munity.

Objections to a WLN were
varied. One objection centered
around the purpose of the
organization, which according

persons present, this need is

raised the objection to a pro-
posed merger of WLN with
SWA. "There is not a possibili-
ty for a merger because of the
difference of interest. SWA
members are not necessarily

reservations about the use of
the ASC name in lobbying.

bying (as an ASC student)

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

Gray Matters:

Defining the Issue

by Laurie McBrayer

I wonder if setting a quota
as a goal for the class of 1987
will eventually lower the ad-
missions standards of the Col-
lege. And will the academic
reputation of Agnes Scott Col-
lege, not a nationally renown-
ed college, diminish? Setting a
quota and changing the ad-
missions procedures might, in
fact, lower the quality of
students. Students who are
just barely admitted will have
a tough time coping with the
academic work. If there are too
many borderline students,
competition'wiil decrease and
the caliber of the students will
wane.

In my last editorial, I do not
want to hype on an issue,
merely speculate. My main
concern regards the future of
Agnes Scott. The character of
the students is the essence of
this College. Quality is
everything. The merit of Agnes
Scott students is hard to
delineate. I think that they are
in a class of their own. During
their four years here they
develop and possess these
qualities: an intellect not worn
on the sleeve, a wit at the ap-
propriate time, a constant con-
cern for old and new friends, a
dedication to projects, a
greater respect for all in-

dividuals, and a wonderful air
of perseverance.

My concentration on the
personality of Agnes Scott
students reflects my reading
of an interesting essay in the
Feb. 21, 1983 Time magazine
regarding first President
George Washington. Our first
President never visited
Europe. He did not know any
foreign languages. He was not
a strong, charismatic public
speaker and his battles were
not that victorious. But, Hugh
Sidey writes: "George
Washington was sensible and
wise ... he understood himself
. . . optimism, perseverance,
patience and an eager view of
the distant horizon have
always been a gift of the earth
to those who stayed close to
it."

Appropriately, Agnes Scott,
an educator, named her son
George Washington Scott and
he founded this institution.
ASC instills Washington's
qualities in its students . . .
students who are pensive, en-
thusiastic, and successful. A
student body with lesser
qualities would change the
character of the college.

To the administration: I

beseech you to not make too
many drastic changes. Keep

the welfare of the college in
mind. I love this school and I
want it to thrive in coming
years.

To the class of '83: You,
members of the Mortar Board,
Profile editors, wonderful
friends and classmates, have
been my models of the quality
of Agnes Scott students. You
have excelled. The following
poem is dedicated to you.

"You must leave now."

And suddenly four years have
passed, just as afternoon
thunderstorms do.

We are nudged out of our
womb-like protected environ-
ment,

As we ask, "Are our best years

really over?"
With fear and trepidation,
We peek at the real world
And approach it barefoot,

naive,

We stare at each other,

Trying to create dissoluble
snapshots for eternity.

We view every traditional
event as our last;

Other daily events are so fami-
liar,

We approach them almost
blindly.

But, they say that like robins
pushed out of the nest,
we too will fly.
MAY YOU ALL SOAR!

Letter from the Edtior

Letter From The Editor:

"Nothing remains the same but change itself/' I used this
well-known quotation in my first Letter from the Editor as I an-
nounced changes the Profile had undergone and would
undergo during my term, including the new masthead; The
Agnes Scott Profile. It Is again appropriate to use this quota-
tion as I announce the end of my term as editor.

I hope that administration, faculty, staff, and students will
help the next editor as much as they have aided me. I could
never begin to thank the many people who have supported me.
I do want to thank President Schmidt She and President Perry
Issued an open door policy, which is an editor's privilege pre-
sent at few colleges. The Agnes Scott campus is a caring com-
munity. The staff has had access to all personnel and has
never been told "no comment. 1 '

In addition, f hope the Profile will continue to operate
without an advisor. For this aspect defines the most important
role of the paper as a Voice of the Students. Of the changes I
made I feel the most significant one was the resurrection of a
true editorial page. It is a privilege to write for a pedantic au-
dience, but It is also a responsibility. Raising Issues and ques-
tioning policies, as we4l as positive criticism, are intrinsic to
the health of a collegiate environment. Without change and
correction, digression occurs, which is dangerous. I have writ-
ten over 40 editorials. Vital issues I have addressed include:
the presidential search, freedom of the college press, the pass-
fail policy, g.p.a. standards, film series dissolution, ad-
ministrative communication with students, tuition, handicap-
ped facilities on campus, student rights, and abuse of the
English language on campus.

I never wrote with the intent to create controversy. Instead, I
wrote about issues I felt were important. When my editorials
evoked any response, they were effective. The aim of an
editorialist is to present the information and to comment on it.
if the writer is successful, he stimulates the reader to ponder
on the issue and to reason his own opinion. It is my utmost
hope that the editorial page will remain alive in coming years
and future staffs will encourage the submission of letters to
the editors.

Thank you for allowing me to serve as editor for two years. It
has been a great experience.

Admission Standards Not Modified? ? ?

by Marcia G. Whetsel,
Associate Editor,
and Kitsie Bassett,
News Editor

Last week's article in the
Profile on the change in the
college's admissions pro-
cedures raises some disturb-
ing questions. While we
acknowledge and understand
the college's concern to in-
crease enrollment, we ques-
tion the real motives and im-
plications behind this change.

The primiary issue is
whether an implementation of
a deferral admissions system
will jeopardize the caliber of
incoming freshmen. President
Schmidt and Judy Tindel say
no; this system will only make
the admissions procedure
more consistent, and
safeguard applicants from the

possibility of a hasty rejection.
If hasty rejections are a con-
cern, why not simply extend
the review period?

We ask, if an applicant is
not satisfactory during the
first admmissions review, why
would she be more satisfac-
tory during a later review? Or,
is this simply a nice way of
saying that if an incoming
class is not sufficiently large,
those students who were
deferred, and therefore not up
to par initially, be admitted for
the sole purpose of adding
enrollment, and thus increas-
ing tuition payments.

We agree with President
Schmidt's comment that the
quality of the college is main-
tained by what is required for
graduation more so than what
is required of a candidate for

admission. However, this pro-
cedure change couid be the
beginning of a cycle. Admis-
sions standards could be
lowered in the process.
Academic standards could be
lowered to prevent retention
rates from dropping. When
academic standards fail, the
quality of graduates is
automatically sacrificed, as is
the college's reputation.

Furthermore, would the
adoption of a "target number
of students for a class" in-
crease the pressure on the ad-
missions staff to rely upon
this list of deferred students
as a back-up?

Four years ago the Honor
Scholar Program was in-
stituted for the express pur-

pose of recruiting highly
qualified students from all
regions of the United States,
and giving these students the
monetary incentive to accept
Agnes Scott instead of the Ivy
League, the Seven Sisters, or
other prestigious schools. The
goal of the college in develop-
ing the program was to in-
crease the prestige of the
school and attract the most
qualified high school seniors.

We believe that all of the
student body is supportive of
this goal, especially now that
the job market is contracting
and the name and reputation
of your school carries a lot of

Emerson said that "the first
wealth is health" and we, as
women, need to know how to
make productive use of that
wealth. Students Working for
Awareness is sponsoring Let's
Get Physical: A Women's
Health Symposium Feb. 28
-March 3.

Discussions during the
week will involve general
health and specific health con-
cerns of women.

We hope that students will
take the opportunity on Thurs.,
March 3, to visit the Open
House in the Hub and get in-
formation on a wide variety of

weight when applying for a job
or to graduate school.

It is for this reason that we
are concerned over the recent
change in admission policy. If
the school starts playing
around with the lower end of
the applicant pool, it is logical
to assume that a risk is being
taken that of lowering ad-
mission standards, thus the
overall academic reputation of
the school.

Finally, we feel the student
body would appreciate the
straight facts. If the school
has an enrollment problem
and deferred admissions are
the answer, say it: don't hide
it.

ing the Feminist Women's

slide show and discussion on
the need to put women's

hands of women, and the op-
portunities available for

knowledge and control of their
own bodies and their health.

We feel that the issues and
information presented during
this symposium are vitally im-
portant to every woman at this
college and we strongly urge
all students, faculty and staff
to attend.

To the Editor:

The Admissions Staff and
Committee wish to thank Mary
MacKinnon for her article on
admissions procedures. She
described a complicated
system clearly and accurately.

We wish to elaborate on a
statement in the article which
indicated that "the files of the
applicants who were initially
rejected are deferred for a
joint meeting of the Admis-
sions Committee ... As a
result of this meeting, the ap-
plicant may be offered admis-
sion . . ." The Admissions
Committee sessions are not
directed toward further evalua-
tion of candidates who were
unanimously rejected upon in-
itial review by committee
readers. Only in the case of a
request to appeal would a re-
jected student be recon-
sidered for admission. The
Committee meets to review
files of candidates who were
not clear admits or rejects
upon the first reading and who
require close evaluation and
discussion in order for the
committee to arrive at a deci-
sion. The Admissions Commit-
tee discussion results in the
decision to admit, place on the
wait list, reject, or delay for
further information such as
additional grades or test
scores.

Judith Maguire Tindel
Director of Admissions

Dear Laurie:

I am concerned about the
problem dealing with the
thousands of dollars spent on
cameras and sound system
devices. We have all this fancy
equipment but half of it
doesn't work so what good
is it?

For example, not much can
be seen on the cameras at
night because there's not
enough lighting. Well, one pro-
bably thinks at least someone
will hear me scream for help.
WRONG! The sound system
has been broken for weeks
and weeks. What good is it to
us then? It's just like before
we even had all this fancy
stuff. I fear many times for
those of us who must park in
the "boonies" by Winship. I'm
not sure who should be ap-
proached but something
needs to be done and to be
done soon before someone
really gets hurt!!

Editor's response:

Your point is valid. The
lapse of time between
breakdown and repair for
various parts of the new
security system is really inex-
cusable. The key card systems
for Main and Rebekah have
not worked for two weeks. A

however, a hostess works in
Rebekah only in the evening

ed to the safety standards on

Dear Laurie:

I don't understand the Pro-
file's suggestion (p. 3,
February 21, 1983) that "a full-
time Spanish professor to be
shared with Oglethorpe" is
something different from "a
part-time professor." It seems
to me that any professor who
teaches part of the time at
Oglethorpe and part of the
time at Agnes Scott would be,
so far as it concerns Agnes
Scott, a part-time professor. I
therefore cannot see how ap-
pointing a "full-time professor
to be shared with Oglethorpe"
could be equated with "ap-
pointing a full-time professor."

Sincerely yours,
Mary E. Butler

Dear. Prof. Butler:

I agree that appointing a full
time professor to be shared
with Oglethorpe does pose
some ambiguity. According to
Dean Gary, the position is be-
ing advertised as "full time" in
order to attract applications
from other states as well as
Georgia. The advertisement
does indicate that the position
is to be shared. Because
Agnes Scott has a larger
Spanish department than
Oglethorpe, Agnes Scott is
leading the search and will
make the "full time" appoint-
ment. In essence, though, this
professor will work part-time
and be paid for a part-time
position from each institution.
Thank you for your letter.

Laurie McBrayer.

Whoever said "all good things must come to an end" pro-
bably never worked with an energetic group of exceptional
young women as I have this year with the 1982-83 Rep Council.
Although our last meeting of the quarter is March 1 (tomorrow
night), I am confident that the spirit of dedication and the
results of our diligent work will certainly continue and multiply.
I am convinced that Rep has earnestly kept the important
needs and overall well-being of the student body and campus
community as our top priority in all of our endeavors and I hope
that each one of you has benefitted in some way from our ef-
forts and ideas.

To improve the channels of communication throughout the
campus as a whole, to make students aware of all of the
available opportunities on campus and to encourage more par-
ticipation on all levels of the college community, to help stu-
dent organizations function most effectively within our annual
budget, and to initiate programs which will meet our present
needs as well as benefit those who will follow us have been
just a few of the major goals and objectives of our board.

If Rep Council can claim any degree of success in obtaining
these goals for our Student Government Association, it is un-
necessary for me to give specific examples of our ac-
complishments. Instead, as this is the last in a long series of
diversified weekly articles, I would like to challenge each
member of our SGA (yes, that means every Boy Scout, Sailor,
Sundance Kid and Highlander!) to keep these goals in mind
during spring quarter and to set new goals that will utilize our
infinite resources of creativity, talent, and energy. Assume that
it is your personal responsibility to find ways of improving our
present policies and maintaining the standards of academic
excellence and dedication to the Honor System which make
Agnes Scott unique.

For the Boy Scouts especially, this means that you need to
continue to set good examles for your peers. As leaders, we
must carefully evaluate our strengths and weaknesses and em-

these leadership positions with enthusiasm, dedication, and
respectfulness.

With thorough orientation to each new office, there should
be no lag in participation or productivity. For you Sundance
Kids and Highlanders, I am excited for you as you, too, can
assume more responsibilities and become a more active par-

The College Archives: A Resting
Place for ASC's History

Sophomore president Bradie Barr welcomes guests to the
Sophomore Parents Weekend Luncheon. The luncheon was
just one of a number of events held during the weekend, in-
cluding a production of 'The Prez," the traditional Tea Dance,
and Saturday morning classes for parents.

Women Account
For Half of
Student Population

Business and management
led all other fields in the
number of college degrees
awarded (at all levels,) na-
tionally and in the South dur-
ing the 1970s. Black enroll-
ment in predominantly white
Southern colleges and univer-
sities increased 193 percent
during the decade. Hispanic
enrollment increased 32 per-
cent from 1976 to 1980.
Women now account for half
of the enrollment in colleges
and universities and receive
half of all baccalaureate and
master's degrees awarded.

These are some of the im-
portant facts included in two
new reports from the Southern
Regional Education Board
(SREB) on college enrollment
and degrees awarded.

Nationally in 1980, blacks
made up 11.7 percent of the
population; Hispanics, 7.7 per-
cent. Blacks represented 9.1
percent of students enrolled in
the nation's colleges and
universities, Hispanics
represented 4.9 percent. In the
SREB states, total enrollment
grew 19 percent from 1978 to
1980, black enrollment in-
creased 8 percent, Hispanic
enrollment increased 32 per-
cent. More than a third of the
black college students and
half of the Hispanic students
were enrolled in public two-
year colleges in 1980. Part-
time enrollment, which far ex-
ceeded full-time enrollment in-
creases for each group, grew
21 percent from 1976 to 1980 in
the South; part-time black and
Hispanic enrollment increased
19 to 48 percent, respectively.

According to Winfred L.

Godwin, president of SREB,
"Black enrollment in the SREB
states has continued to grow
since 1976, but not as rapidly
as total enrollment . . . The
issue of access versus quality
in higher education has been
resolved from time to time
with varying balances in em-
phasis upon those two essen-
tial considerations. While
many states are now tending
to consolidate the access
gains of the recent past by
renewed concerns for quality,
they must continue to be mind-
ful of lingering differentials in
the degree to which all their
citizens are afforded entry to
higher educational opportuni-
ty."

Production of bachelor's
and doctoral degrees since
1970-71 has experienced
greater growth almost dou-
ble in the SREB states than
in the nation as a whole. First
professional degrees grew
about the same rate in the na-
tion and in the South. And the
102 percent increase in
associate degrees awarded
Southern students was almost
double that for the nation dur-
ing the 1970s.

Business and management
was the field of study chosen
most often by all groups of
students (male, female, black,
white, Hispanic), at all degree
levels, nationally and in the
South. The computer sciences
saw substantial growth' in
enrollment. The popularity of
these career-oriented fields
signals the importance
today's students place on suc-
cessful job placement follow-
ing graduation.

Surely, one of Agnes Scott's
most notable characteristics
is its sense of tradition and
preservation of the past.
Nowhere on campus is this
sense better exemplified than
the College Archives, located
on the fifth floor of the library.

Dr. Edward NcNair, College
historian, simply defines the
archives as "a resting place of
Agnes Scott material from
former years." Thus, the ar-
chives perform no other func-
tion than housing the material;
yet, it is within this material
that the past years of the col-
lege come to life.

As one might expect, most
of the official documents and
publications of the college are
collected and stored here.
Complete collections of the
Silhouette, the Profile, the Col-
lege Catalogue, the Alumnae
Quarterly, the student hand-
book and the student directory
have been placed upon the
shelves. Another bookcase
holds audio and video tapes of
various speakers and events
on campus, including readings
by Robert Frost.

The archives also contain
all independent studies com-
pleted by students over the
years. Books written and
published by faculty members
and alumnae are also col-
lected. A cabinet contains a
file on all faculty members in-
cluding such things as
biographical material and pro-
fessional vitae. Directly
across from this cabinet is yet
another cabinet holding files
on miscellaneous subjects
such as campus buildings,
student organizations and an-
nual events.

The only papers not kept in
the archives are Board of
Trustees' meeting minutes,
which are in the President's of-
fice and faculty meeting
minutes, which the Dean of
the College maintains.

An entirely different set of
articles transforms the ar-
chives from a storage room in-
to a "classic" grandmother's
attic. One box contains a mid-
dy blouse used for gym
classes in 1910. The academic
robe and mortar board of the
college's first principal, Nan-
nette Hopkins, have come to
rest here. Next to them, is
Miss Hopkin's worn footstool,
where hundreds of students
have knelt to be invested and
hooded.

Though Agnes Scott,
herself, never set foot on the
campus named in her honor,
her spinning wheel stands in
the corner of the archives, and
nearby rests a bonnet that
belonged to her mother. In a
long, rectangular box lies a
suit made for George
Washington Scott, the
college's founder, by his
mother, Agnes. The sermon
notes of the Rev. Frank H.
Gaines, the college's first
president, are also to be found
in the archives, as are the col-
lege's second president Dr.
James McCain's Christmas
cards.

Several articles are not

stored in the archives, but in
the vault of the registrar's of-
fice for security reasons. An
original Agne Scott ring (the
original rings were gold signet-
type rings with the College
seal on them), an early Phi
Beta Kappa key and samples
of the Hopkins Jewel are
within the vault. The jewel,
first an amythest pendent ring,
was awarded to the senior
who most exemplified the
ideals of Miss Hopkins. The
award was cancelled in 1954
because Hopkins Dorm had
been built in her honor; and,
since Miss Hopkins died in
1934, many faculty members
by 1954 had not known her. All
of these articles have been
donated to the college by
alumnae, according to Dr.
McNair.

Surprisingly, there have
been few efforts to ever fully
display the contents of the ar-
chives. "No one has ever been
willing to take the responsibili-
ty of taking these things, set-
ting up a display and returning
them," reports Dr. McNair.

The responsibility of main-
taining the archives has usual-
ly been that of the library staff.
Dr. McNair credits Edna
Hanley Byers, college
Librarian from 1932 to 1969, in
particular, with the upkeep of
the archives. For 37 years, she
collected, classified and sav-
ed everything from and about
the college. She was also
directly responsible for
establishing the Robert Frost
Collection. Frost, who visited
the college annually for 18

years called her his "in-
defatigable collector," and Dr.
McNair adds "she got hold of
everything written by or about
Frost."

The Frost Collection, which
Dr. McNair says is "one of the
four or five best Frost collec-
tions in the world," is housed
across from the archives in the
Special Collections Room. The
Collection includes not only
many first editions, but also
original literary criticisms of
Frost. This room is also the
home of Professor Emeritus
Dr. Walter Posey's unique
book collection on frontier
religions, which he donated to
the college. A collection of
Gone With The Wind volumes
in various languages, given by
Margaret Mitchell's personal
secretary, is another major
collection of the College.

The Special Collections
Room serves another purpose
in that it is the office of Dr.
McNair. It is here that he has
been working on "a happy
labor for years," his history of
the college. He claims the ar-
chives have been of "in-
estimable value" in writing his
book, which will be published
this Spring.

For those who take a few
minutes out of a busy day to
browse through the archives
(the library staff keeps the
key), they will quickly realize
the archives are of "in-
estimable value" in reminding
one of the college's past days
and contemplating its future
days.

Travel, Learn, and
Earn Credit Too!

How about spending the
summer discovering the
culture, history, and people of
exotic Tahiti? Or studying
psychology in China, biology
and geology in Galapagos Ar-
chipelago, art restoration in
Florence, or spend an
academic semester at sea
visiting 10 to 12 countries, and
possibly earn credit for it!

These are the types of
adventure-filled education op-
portunities you'll find in The
Learning Traveler series. The
only books of their kind!

Participation Play Not
Just for Children

by Debbie McLaughlin

Even though the Blackfriar's
production of "Aladdin: A Par-
ticipation Play" is geared for
children, senior Marion Mayer,
who is directing the play, says,
"I think everyone, young and
old alike, will enjoy and benefit
from this play."

The play was presented in
the college's Winter Theatre of
the Dana Fine Arts Building
Sat. and Sun., Feb. 26 and 27,
at 2 pm and will be presented
today and tomorrow, Feb. 28
and March 1 , at 9:30 am, 1 1 am
and 1 pm. Tickets are $1 and
may be reserved by calling
377-1200.

"Aladdin" is a participation
play in that the audience will
be involved in creating props
and verbally adding to scenes.
The play begins with a band of
gypsies who stir up the au-
dience's excitement. The gyp-
sy band consists of the father
Burgundo, his wife, Cordova,
their children, Dahlia and
Domino, and Cordova's
brother Zampano with his
mute sidekick, Pico.

As the gypsies decide to
stage a play they transform
themselves into appropriate
characters. Burgundo
becomes the Sultan and the
Lamp Genie, Cordova
becomes Aladdin's mother
and the Genie of the Ring.
Dahlia takes the role of the
beautiful princess and Domino
is Aladdin. The Evil Magician
is Zampano, and Pico
becomes all the props.

"Aladdin" is the story of a
poor boy who comes into the
possession of a magic lamp.
With the help of the Lamp
Genie, he battles dragons and
wins the love of a beautiful
princess. However, he must
avoid the Evil Magician who

continually tries to steal the
magic lamp.

Agnes Scott students Don-
na Wilfong and Pam Williams
will play the princess and
Aladdin's mother respectively.
Playing the male parts are

Wallis of Stone Mountain, Bill

tion of "The Rimers of

cast is excellent to work with."

Women's

A three-day seminar on the
issue of integrating the study
of women's history into tradi-
tional survey courses drew
historians from numerous
Eastern colleges to Bryn Mawr
this past summer. They met
first to hear a speech, portions
of which are reproduced here.

The conference was spon-
sored by the Organization of
American Historians, with
support from the Lilly Founda-
tion and the Mary Winsor
Memorial Fund of Bryn Mawr
College. It is the first in a
series of regional conferences
planned in the spring of 1983

lege, Texas Women's Universi-

Morehouse Steps in Where
Yale Fears to Tread

Morehouse College, an all-
male, all-black institution of
about 2000 students, doesn't
mind playing second fiddle to
Yale University, or second har-
mony either.

After Yale's Glee Club turn-
ed down a recent request by
the U. S. State Dept. to sing
the Polish Solidarity theme
song on an international Voice
of America radio broadcast,
Morehouse President Hugh
Gloucester volunteered his
school's glee club to record
the song.

Yale President A. Bartlett
Giamatti turned down the
State Dept. request because
of a school policy against sup-
porting "one political cause or
another no matter how com-
pelling the cause may be."

But Morehouse's president
didn't see the request in quite
the same context, and inform-
ed government and Voice of
America officials that his
school would be glad to par-
ticipate in the December 13
radio broadcast honoring

ting since high school, plans
to become a professional ac-
tress and describes acting as
something "quite natural" for
her. After graduation she
plans to work in a summer
stock theatre and then settle
wherever she can find work in
a regular theatre.

As Pico, Marty Wallis, and the Evil Magician, Chet Chessher
will be searching for Aladdin in the children's play today and
tomorrow at 9:30 am, 11 am, and 1 pm.

Integrated Into Survey Courses

Solidarity and com-
memorating the institution of
martial law in Poland two
years ago.

"President Gloucester read
that Yale had refused to
(record the song) and he felt in-
spired to offer to do it," ex-
plains Wendall Whalen,
Morehouse Glee Club director.

"I think it was mainly a mat-
ter of compassion for what the
people in Poland have been
through," Whalen says of the
decision to record the labor
union's theme song. "In any
black community like
Morehouse, where we have
had our share of experience
with oppressed people, it's not
hard to understand what the
Polish people are going
through."

Indeed, Morehouse's glee
club has often participated in
political events.

The group has sung at Jim-
my Carter's inauguration in
1976 and at the funeral of Dr.
Martin Luther King in 1968,
Whalen says.

(Teaching Women's History)
by Professor of History

Elizabeth Fox-Genovese '63
State University of

New York at Binghamton.

"One of my academic
friends once reassured an in-
secure assistant professor
who had been assigned the
survey course and who was
bemoaning his inadequate
preparation: 'Oh, survey
teaching is a piece of cake. All
you have to do is to tell them
that the middle class was ris-
ing, that it was a time of transi-
tion, and that it was the eve of
great changes. Once you have
mastered that basic formula,
you can teach anything.'

"The story is true and occur-
red about fifteen years ago. At
the time, I, like others who
heard the exchange, chuckled
cynically. Today we can still
chuckle, albeit somewhat
more uneasily. More and more
of us are being thrown into
survey teaching and those
among us who are just begin-
ning our careers may find
ourselves saddled with not
one, but two, survey courses.

"You have all seen those
advertisements for jobs that
call for Western Civilization,
the American survey, and a
course in women's history.
Under these conditions, our
preparation becomes a
serious problem and my
friend's cynical formula ac-
quires a rather grim appeal.
Since it is impossible to teach
some four centuries of
American history and some 10
to 30 centuries of European
history, much less the world
history of women, responsibly,
we must find one or another
way to get by.

"Unfortunately, just when
the most scrupulous among
us might be willing to resort to
sleight of hand, the fundamen-
tal assumptions on which the
surveys as we have inherited
them were based has crumbl-
ed, like an ice-cover breaking
up, beneath us. The rise and

triumph of the middle class,
that custodian of progress,
rationally, and individualism,
has become problematic. And
teaching history as the
smooth path to the present is
being condemned as teleo-
logical. We find ourselves
steadily cut loose from our
moorings.

'The problems of historical
narrative, causation, and pro-
gress far exceed our concerns
today. But they bear, however
indirectly, upon them. For the
emergence of women's history
has been both derived from
and contributed to the current
unease of our historical
culture. The old surveys, with
their pieties and their certain-
ties, had no place for women.

"The philosophy of history

has essentially ignored
women and the theories of the
social sciences on which
historians have drawn have
not done much to include
them. Social, cultural, and, in
some measure, economic
history have proved more
hospitable to women's ex-
perience than have conven-
tional political and intellectual
history, but all can and have
been written with no special
attention to women's ex-
perience, much less women's
perceptions or discrete aspira-
tions.

"But the difficulties of in-
tegrating women into that
history also have to do with
the conceptual problems of
teaching the history of women
themselves."

College Grads Favored
In Work Force

Next May, as it does every
May, universities and colleges
across the land will loose
upon the world a new crop of
college graduates. The lucky
ones will have jobs waiting for
them when they get out, but
the majority will probably not
start looking until they have
the sheepskin in hand. With
the national unemployment
rate pushing 11 percent, the
prospects for finding work do
not look good.

However, government
statistics indicate that college
graduates are definitely the
favored group when it comes
to finding work. Reinhard
Weglarz, an economist for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics in
Kansas City, Mo. says as of
March, 1982, the unemploy-
ment rate for people with four
or more years of college was
only three percent. This com-
pares with an unemployment
rate of 13.2 percent for people
with eight years or less of
schooling. Although the rate
may have risen slightly since

then, Weglarz says, the
relative differences remain the
same. Education, Weglarz
says, "is the name of the
game."

'You Get What You Pay For'

Old Flames Strike New Fire A famous actress, fabled for
her beauty and off-state affairs, and a prosperous lawyer meet
again after 13 years and find that the sparks of love still burn in
"A Little Night Music" at the Alliance Theatre from February 23
through March 27.

You want to look good
tonight but you don't know
what to wear. It seems all of
your clothes are a little blase.

Fortunately, today's styles
are flexible enough to function
in any circumstance. With a
few necessities, one could
have a complete wardrobe
without spending an
outrageous amount of money.
A lot of things you already
have can be combined with
one new piece and look totally
different. Since most students
and faculty are on a limited
budget, buying one thing at a
time when a little extra cash is
available is the best idea. Take
a look at your wardrobe and
decide what is most needed
and start from there. As a col-
lege student, now is the time
to build a workable wardrobe
so that after graduation you
are prepared for the outside
world or at least look like
you are prepared.

When shopping for clothes,
remember you get what you
pay for. There is no point in
buying something cheap. In

the long run, it could end up
costing you more to buy two
cheap pieces of clothing than
to buy one more expensive
piece that would have lasted.

Check around town for good
buys. Sales this time of year
come a dime a dozen. Many
stores are getting rid of their
winter colors in their stock.
Some stores, however, like
Sak's Fifth Avenue, return mer-
chandise they don't sell to the
main store and warehouse so
that it can be stored until next
season. This has a direct in-
fluence on what the market
will be like next year. If stores
keep merchandise for a year,
you can bet they have faith
that today's styles are here to
stay. Contrary to popular
belief, most of the prices
charged by these places are
fairly reasonable.

When buying clothes,
remember these points:

1. How many things do I
have that can go with this?
The more combinations you

can come up with, the better
off you are. Get the most out
of what .you already have.

2. How is it made? A lot of
times you are better off paying
a little extra for a designer you
know you can trust. Other
manufacturer's items are
sometimes not all that well
made.

v Don't let a salesman push
something on you you really
don't want or need. Use a
salesman for his knowledge
and ideas, but don't take his
every word as being gospel.

4. Buy to fit your personali-
ty, life style, and/or business
needs.

5. Make sure all new
clothing is tailored to your
satisfaction. If you have
something tailored when you
purchase it, try it on when you
pick it up. Don't be afraid to
tell the salesman that you are
not happy with the tailoring.
As expensive as clothes are,
make sure they fit perfectly.

'Lords of Discipline'
Probes Meanina of Honor

by Marcia G. Whetsel

I have been biding my time
for two years to see the results
of the adaptation of Pat Con-
roy's novel, "The Lords of
Discipline" to the big screen,
and I can enthusiastically say
that it was well worth the wait.
"The Lords of Discipline'
evolves around Cadet Will Mc-
Clean's senior year at the
Carolina Military Institute, and
focuses on Will's struggle to
reconcile his personal concep-
tions of honor, friendship and
loyalty with what he discovers
to be the institution's defini-
tions.

The screenplay by Thomas
Pope and Lloyd Fonvielle is
faithful to Conroy's novel with
a few minor exceptions. Much
of the dialogue is a verbatum
reproduction of the scenes
Conroy created in the novel
with such mastery. Unfor-
tunately, Conroy's 500 page
novel had to be condensed for
the screen and several rela-
tionships are not as fully
developed in the film as in the
book, and one the relation-
ship between Will and Annie
Kate was totally eliminated.

The film's casting is perfect.
David Keith captures Will's in-
tuitiveness and sense of loyal-

ty, as well as the courage and
sensitivity that gives Conroy's
character depth. Robert Pro-
sky is outstanding as the Bear,
Will's coach and mentor.

G. D. Spradlin plays the role
of Bentley Durell, the presi-
dent of the Carolina Military
Institute. Durell is a powerful
and prestigious Southern
bigot and Spradlin portrays
the character with a zest that
makes the final confrontation
between Will and Durell ex-
traordinarily satisfactory.

Rick Rossovich, John
Lavochielli, and Mitchell
Lichtenstein are well-suited as
Will's roommates.

"The Lords of Discipline" is
a gripping drama about a
senior cadet at a military
academy who is slowly com-
pelled to protect the first black
cadet admitted to the school
from the treachery of a secret
group called The Ten.

The Ten operates secretly to
uphold the ideals and stan-
dards of the school which are
symbolized by the legendary
institute ring. Will's private
sense of honor and justice
leads him to confront The Ten
and President Durell, risking
his degree, the love and friend-

and

Observatory Program Will
Feature March Skies

Bradley Observatory will
present a guide to the March
skies and to historical star
patterns from the 18th and
19th centuries Fri., March 4.
The program will include a lec-
ture, planetarium show and,
weather permitting, observa-
tions through the 30-inch
telescope. The astronomy pro-
grams begin at 8 pm, rain or
shine.

Planetarium director Julius
D. W. Staal will present the

second half of his program on
"now obsolete constellations"
named by 18th and 19th cen-
tury astronomers. "Obsolete"
star patterns to be shown in-
clude "The Northern Fly,"
"Herschel's Telescope," "The
Flamingos" and "The Air
Balloon."

Observatory director Robert
S. Hyde will talk on star pat-
terns and other objects to be
observed in the skies during
March.

ship of his roommates,
finally, his life.

"The Lords of Discipline" is
definitely a rites of passage
story. It raises valid questions
about justice, honor, and
friendship, which probably
have not been faced by many
certainly not this abruptly
or this dramatically.

The film and novel offer a
provocative examination of
the effect of a military environ-
ment on a person's humanity.
Loyalty to one's alma mater
right or wrong is also prob-
ed.

The filming of "The Lords of
Discipline" created quite a
controversy. Certain powers-
that-be at The Citadel noticed
that Pat Conroy, an alumnus,
had painted a less-than-
complimentary picture of the
institute. Consequently, Para-
mount was not allowed to film
on The Citadel's campus. The
studio was also turned down
by Virginia Military Institute,
Virginia Preparatory Institute,
and Texas A & M. The location
shots of the campus were film-
ed in England at Wellington
College, outside of London.
Several scenes, however, were
shot in Charleston.

a special assignment to protect the academy's first black
cadet, Mark Breland, against the evil prejudice of a sinister
secret elite society at the school in Paramount Pictures' "The
Lords of Discipline."

Focus on Faith

By Mary Mackinnon

"Focus on Faith" was
centered around the concern
of world hunger. Ken
Sehested, director of educa-
tion for SEEDS (an educa-
tional ministry and publication
program) addressed this topic
during two talks with the
Agnes Scott community. One
of his messages came from a
biblical view of hunger. Mr.
Sehested cited that scripture
is biased to the hungry and
poor, that Christian
discipleship calls for imitation
of and participation in this
bias, and that hunger is not ac-
cidental, but a result of human
oppression. A theme covered
in Mr. Sehested's discussion
was a hunger response educa-
tion. He presented three steps
that lead to a greater
awareness of the hunger pro-
blem: information, motivation,

and opportunity. The major
principle behind this form of
education is "naming the
poor." Most people have only
a second-hand knowledge of
the poor, according to Mr.
Sehested, and offering help is
not enough. While it is human
nature to keep the poor at a
distance; it is necessary to
come into direct contact with
these people.

SEEDS is a program of
hunger ministry that
originated in the Oakhurst
Baptist Church here in
Decatur. This ministry began
in 1976 when the problem of
world hunger began to receive
widespread attention. The
goal of this church's ministry
is to establish a hunger com-
mittee in every Southern Bap-
tist church in the United
States. These churches would

be able to minister to the
needy in their own com-
munities. According to Mr.
Sehested, fighting the hunger
problem is best rooted at a
local level," and then extend-
ed to a global level. Mr.
Sehested stated that SEEDS
would act as a "grass roots
organization," showing the
churches how to do the work
and ministry themselves.

Mr. Sehested was encourag-
ed to see a genuine interest
about the hunger crisis among
both the Agnes Scott students
and their faculty. The purpose
of his visit, he said, was to
challenge people with new
ideas; to make them think
about how much of a risk to
take in life in terms of help-
ing to make a difference in the
hunger problem relative to a
Christian commitment.

the Southeastern Region Com-
petition on Feb. 5 and 6.

Team members included
Laurie MacLeod '83, Beth
Wilson '83, co-presidents, and
Ellington Smoot '85 and Libby

five win 10 loss record over the
two day meet including a
defeat of last year's champs,

the University of Alabama.
There were narrow losses to
the University of Florida,
Florida State, Tampa Universi-
ty and Mercer University of
Macon.

College Bowl teams com-
pete in rounds of 20 toss-up
questions with bonus ques-
tions and points given for suc-
cessful toss-up answers.
Questions are given on a wide
range of topics. The regional
competition included a ques-
tion about Herschel Walker

which was successfuly
answered by Laurie MacLeod.

Only four team members
compete at a time, but there
are nine members of the
Agnes Scott team. Practices
are held each Wednesday 6 to
7 pm in G-26 of Buttrick Hall.
The team is presently sear-
ching for a coach from the

Tracy Baker Watches, Waits

by Tracy Baker

As Caroline Bleke was
unable to attend yet another
basketball game (this time due
to a sortie with one of her
many admirers), this reporter
will fill you in on what was
perhaps the most entertaining
game of the season.

The Sailors pulled together
for their last game against the (
Sundance Kids and won by
forfeit due to low turnout on
the part of the Kids. Third
Rebekah appeared in full force
with enough players to allow
Betsy Shaw and Carol Jones
to substitute for missing
sophomores. Highlander
Laura Smith also contributed
her skills to the sophomore

team in order to give the inex-
perienced juniors a chance to
play.

The game itself was fast-
paced, with Sue Feese and
Ann Weaver coaching the new
players. As Ann could not
decide which team she wanted
to play for, she contributed
points to both. Center Frances
Harrell, with more experience
than the rest of us (due to Sun-
day games at her fraternity),
contributed much to the game.
Betsy Shaw was in excellent
form in her fluorescent New
Balance shoes. She and Carol
Jones turned violently against
their dear hallmates in at-
tempts to steal the ball. Diane
Rickett's former basketball

skills returned as the game
progressed she handled the
ball well in tense situations.
As for this reporter, she played
primarily for the entertainment
of the referee and the spec-
tators, with various "planned"
goofs, such as shooting at the
opponent's basket. In spite of
the inexperience of these
players, they aided skilled
Charla Williamson, Sue Feese,
and sometimes, Ann Weaver
in a close game. The final
score was 18-14, in favor of the
sophomores. So many thanks
to all who participated in this
most exciting and amusing
game! We will all be there
tonight cheering for our
classmates!

Herpes Affects
Childbearing

One of the biggest concerns
expressed about Herpes is
how it may affect a child born
to a mother with Herpes.
Women with Herpes can cer-
tainly bear normal children.
However, women who have the
disease may infect their infant
with Herpes, generally at the
time of delivery. If genital
Herpes is dormant toward the
end of pregnancy and at the
time of delivery, the chance of
developing complications is
remote. If there is an active
case, the baby has a five to
50% chance of being infected
with Herpes. The newborn has
an immature immune system,
and their own natural defense
mechanisms do not do a good
job of protecting them from
the Herpes virus. Some an-
tibodies are transferred from
the mother to her baby during
pregnancy, but not in large
enough quantities to provide
adequate protection.

Although treatment is
available for newborns with an
infection throughout the body,
the disease remains a very
serious, though rare, problem
for newborns and their
families.

Genital Herpes and
Cancer of the Cervix

It has been known for quite
some time that a relationship
between genital Herpes and
cervical cancer exists. The
exact nature of this relation-
ship has been the subject of a
great deal of scientific
research. The following facts
have surfaced from this
research effort. Studies over
the last 10 years show a higher
incidence of cervical cancer in
women whose blood tests who
evidence of genital Herpes
(HSV II).

AKhough there is clearly an
increased risk of cervical
cancer among women with
genital Herpes, the question
of what causes this risk has
been difficult to answer. The
fact that more people with
genital Herpes develop cancer
does not prove that Herpes is
the cause of this cancer. It is
also known that an increased
risk of cervical cancer >s
related to early age of first
sexual intercourse and to
multiple partners. It is possi-
ble that many variables act
together to increase the risk of
developing cervical cancer.
What is known is that HSV II is
capable to changing a normal
cell into a cell with malignant
properties in some species
and that genetic information
of the Herpes virus has been
found inside cervical tumor
cells. It is impossible to say
whether Herpes simplex virus
causes this type of cancer, but
scientific research at its cur-
rent pace should yield a better
understanding of this question
in the near future. Fortunately,
cervical cancer is a relatively
uncommon disease and there
is a very simple and accurate
screening test, the Pap test,
that is able to detect early
changes in cervical tissue. The
current recommendation for
women with genital Herpes is
to have a Pap test every six
months.

Advice to Herpes Victims

What can a person with
Herpes do about it? Knowing
that they are not alone is a
beginning. Some of the ideas
listed below may give a person
with Herpes some help in
regaining their confidence and
control.

1. Refrain from sexual con-
tact when you have lesions.

2. Learn about the disease.

3. Try to reduce your stress
level.

4. Recognize that you will
continue to be a sexual being.

5. Get support! Learn about
Herpes Help chapters and
other counseling groups. If
not. you may want to confide

in a friend, or try meeting with
a counselor.

6. See yourself as a total
person. No one is just one
thing. You are a blend of
characteristics with strengths
and limitations that only you
possess. People will draw to
you or pull away from you for a
variety of reasons. Having
Herpes may encourage you to
build on your strengths and
overcome fears. Herpes is
manageable, and you have a
continuing opportunity to
make your life enjoyable, pro-
ductive and fulfilling.

SGA PRESIDENT

A PROFILE EXCLUSIVE:
SUE FEESE (VOTEP)

INTERVIEW
SUE FEESE (CAND)

SUE (VOTER): Good after-
noon, Sue. I'd like to ask you a
few questions about your can-
didacy. First, of course, I want
to know what qualifies you to
be SGA president.

SUE (CAND): I think the
range of my activities and ac-
complishments at ASC are
vital justifications for my can-
didacy. At present, I am a
member of Athletic Assoc.,
Tennis Team, SAR's BSA, and
Arts Council. I hold leadership
positions as vice-president of
the class of 1984, President of
London Fog, and Sports Editor
of the Profile. Academically,
I'm a Dana Scholar, Honor
Scholar, Stukes Scholar, and
listed on the Honor Roll.

SUE (VOTER): How does
something like playing on the
Tennis Team qualify you to
preside over the Student Govt.
Assoc.?

SUE (CAND): It's the
cumulative contributions from
everyting I just mentioned that
are significant. From tennis
comes dedication, committ-
ment, and the realization that
team or group effort ac-
complishes 100 times more
than individual effort. The
same is true for SGA.
Regardless of my personal
opinions, as President it
becomes my duty to voice the
opinions of the Rep "team" to
student and administration
with enthusiasm, sincerity,
and assurity. From my years
as editor, I have acquired the
ability to handle weekly
deadlines, time pressure, and
the constant challenge of fin-

ding new ways to approach
similar subjects. From London
Fog comes creativity and in-
provisational skills, and from
class officer duties comes ex-
perience at running an effi-
cient meeting, of providing in-
novative ideas, and of remain-
ing open-minded to sugges-
tions of the class. My
academic achievements show
that I can successfully com-
bine extracurricular and
academic responsibilities.

SUE (VOTER): One last
question. Don't you feel that
you are at a disadvantage not
having been on Rep before?

SUE (CAND): Actually, Sue, I
think my position is advan-
tageous. Knowledge of the
functions, recent projects, and
legislation of Rep is essential.
Whether this comes from
membership on the council or
from attending the meetings,
reading 385's and observing
the current Pres. in action
each day (my situation) is not
important. What is crucial is
that the new President does
not let the present momentum
lessen as is so often the case
with a changeover in leader-
ship. First time members of
any group are usually the
hardest workers, the most en-
thusiastic and dedicated
members and often provide ex-
cellent new suggestions
which old members may not
have thought about simply
because they are accustomed
to "the" present ways of the
Council.

SUE (VOTER): Thanks for
your time, Sue. I look forward
to tonight's debate and to
Wednesday's speeches. Oh . . .
by the way, are you the best
candidate for SGA president?

SUE (CAND): That's for you to
decide . . . Have a nice day!

by Kappy Wilkes

Student issues and con-
cerns change frequently
because of the flux of
students through a college.
Thus a student body govern-
ment must be flexible and ef-
fective so that it can act and
react to the ever changing
needs of its student consti-
tuency. I believe this demands
open lines of communication
throughout the network of the
campus students, faculty,
and administration. My role as
President of the Student
Government Association
would be to keep these lines
open, and more importantly,
flowing.

The experiences I have had
in leadership positions will be
advantageous to me in keep-
ing these communication
"highways" open. I have work-
ed closely with many students
on this campus as: President
of the Sophomore Class,
Treasurer of the Student
Government, and Vice-
President of Dolphin Club. I
have also been able to work
with other College and Univer-
sity students by attending stu-^
dent government conferences
both on the state and the na-
tional level. These oppor-

tunities have broadened my
spectrum of knowledge of
students and student govern-
ments.

Furthermore, I have had the
privilege of working with facul-
ty and administration on the
Presidential Search Commit-
tee and the Evaluation Com-
mittee for Channels of
Creativity Proposals. I have
also helped investigate a pro-
posal to have student
representative on several

faculty committees.

Tonight and at the Wednes-
day Convocation you will have
the opportunity to hear my
ideas and proposals in detail.

Judy Roach, SGA Presiden-
tial Candidate of 1966, said it
well: "The government on this
campus must not only be by
the people and for the people."
And I believe she meant all the
people.

I would sincerely appreciate
your support.

IIMTERDORM CHAIRMAN

Donna Garrett

The Interdormitory Council
of Agnes Scott College serves
first and foremost as a liaison
between the Dean of Students
Office and the student body.
Other functions of Interdorm
include aiding individual dorm
councils in coordinating ac-
tivities for the dorms and in
orienting new students,
overseeing the enforcement of
the general regulations of
dorm life, and influencing the
atmosphere of the campus
through positive and en-
thusiastic attitudes.

As chairman of Interdorm, I
would be guiding and directing
Interdorm. I would also remain
in close contact with Dean
Kirkland. The president of
each Dorm Council is a
member of Interdorm which is
her source of campus informa-
tion which she then passes on
to her dorm council so that
they can get the news out to
you. This vital line of com-
munication also flows in the
opposite direction so that
each student may be allowed
to voice her suggestions or
complaints.

Having served on both the
Dorm Council of Inman and
the Interdormitory Council as
president of Inman, I feel as
though I well understand the
mechanics of Interdorm, yet I
feel as though I am open to
suggestions which might im-
prove this line of communica-
tion. I truly realize and value
the privilege of good com-

munication.

I consider the position of In-
terdormitory Council to be a
challenge. Because I feel
qualified, enthusiastic and
dedicated to the ideals of
Agnes Scott College, it would
be not only a position of
challenge but also a position
of servitude I would gladly
welcome.

Orientation Council

Tina Roberts

Two and a half years ago,
upon arriving at Agnes Scott
College, I was greeted in the
Hub by members of Orienta-
tion Council and my Big Sister.
The next few weeks were filled
with classes, meetings, and
activities: all designed to ac-
quaint new students with what
ASC and Atlanta have to offer.
The message was clear: If you
need help or have a question,
just ask. Everyone was en-
thusiastic and ready to help.
Be active, participate, work
and play diligently.

Since then I've been actively
involved on campus as an
SAR, as a staff member of the
Student Life section of
Silhouette, and as a Sailor-
Class of '84- Black Cat and
Junior Jaunt activities. But
most importantly I have served
on Orientation Council as both
Secretary and Vice Chairman.
The past two years I've learned
how much time and hard work
it takes to prepare for a
freshman's arrival at ASC:
from summer correspondence,
Big Sister applioations, notes
and signs to editing the ABC's
of ASC, coordinating the fall
quarter calendar, and

representing Orientation at
BSA meetings (and at Rep in
the absence of the chairman).

I attended the Southern
Regional Orientation
Workshop last year in
Tallahassee and have ex-
changed ideas and asked for
advice and suggestions in-
cluding changing the format
of the Rush skit and picnic and
continuing the Welcome Pic-
nic, Stone Mtn. trip, and the
traditional Street Dance, to
mention only a few of the
many orientation activities.

With two years of ex-
perience on Orientation, I am
qualified for the position of
Chairman. My main goal is one
shared by the entire campus
community: to provide the
best possible introduction to
life at ASC for all new
students- freshmen, transfers,
and RTC's; to make those first
few weeks exciting and en-
joyable for all students; and to
enthusiasticaly repeat the
message. If you have a ques-
tion, ask; get involved; work
hard; and have fun too. With
your vote, your participation,
and your ideas, we can ac-
complish this goal.

Cheryl Carlson

My name is Cheryl Carlson,
and as a candidate for chair-
man of Orientation Council, I
believe that my experience in
dealing with prospective and
new students coupled with my
enthusiasm makes me unique-
ly suited for this office. As a
Student Admissions
Representative and as an ad-
missions tour guide, I have
helped prospective students

to attain a positive and ac-
curate image of Agnes Scott.
As Treasurer of Orientation
Council, Class Representative
for the Orientation Book Com-
mittee, and as a "big sister", I
have worked with new
students to help them feel a
part of the college. I believe
that I can best serve the stu-
dent body in general and the
new students in particularly as

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1983

BSA President

There are excellent reasons
to run for Board of Student Ac-
tivities Chairman. First, I con-
sider BSA a campus organiza-
tion high in potential; I plan to
maximize my administrative
and imaginative skills to see
that potential realized. Sec
-ond, the chance this position
offers to work cooperatively
with campus leaders. Third, I
admit my eagerness to meet
the challenge of achieving
campus-oriented successes in
a position requiring respon-
sibility, commitment, and
STAMINA.

My familiarity with BSA
comes from participation in it
as Vice-Chairman of Chimo In-
ternational and of Students for
Black Awareness. I served as
president of Chimo during its
BSA probation year, and
helped to re-establish it as the
necessary bridge between
cultures. Administrative
duties include co-lighting
director for Studio Dance, serv
-ing on the Women's Year Ex-
ecutive Board, work with BSA
to produce a better Film
Series, and faculty / student
collaboration on
"Multicultural Awareness",

Denise Mazza

My goal as BSA Chairman
would be to increase the effec-
tiveness of BSA. I see three
ways of doing this. First, the
process by which organiza-
tions evaluate themselves
needs to be revised. Second,
BSA needs to be evaluated.
Finally, BSA needs to deter-
mine whether or not the pre-
sent SGA organizations meet
the needs of the student body.

I think that the self-
evaluation of organizations
should be a three-step process
in which the group (a)
establishes its goals (in early
spring), (b) re-evaluates its
goals (in mid-fall), and (c)
evaluates how well it has met
its objective and suggest im-

Chairman of Orientation Coun-
cil.

Agnes Scott's efforts to
orient new students to all
aspects of college life are ex-
tensive and commendable, but
there is always room for im-
provement. I would like to see
the Orientation Council
reevaluate its activities in
order to better serve the needs
of all new students. An exam-
ple for an activity in need of
reevaluation is the fraternity
rush picnic. I am not convinc-
ed that the picnic is the most
effective way to acquaint new
students with rush, and I do
not believe that all students
feel comfortable with the
situation as it has been car-
ried out in the past. As chair-
man, I will request more stu-
dent input so that we can work
toward a rush orientation that
the students find most accep-
table.

First impressions are
lasting ones. As chairman, I
will work with the Orientation
Council and the student body
to insure that the impression
we create for the new students
is both positive and accurate.
Thank you for your time.

I admit several "ulterior
motives" for running for this
position. I want to realize
greatest cooperation between
campus organizations. I want
to initiate greater variety, and

provements for the new board
(in early spring). This process
would help the present leaders
of campus organizations as
well as helping future boards.

Just as BSA tries to help
organizations based on their
self-evaluation, BSA needs to
get suggestions from each
organization on how it can
become more effective. This
would give a greater degree of
objectivity concerning how ef-
fective proposed changes
would be.

Finally, it is essential that
BSA determine whether or not
campus organizations are
meeting student needs. As
Chairman of BSA, I would
develop and implement a plan
to get student input on their
needs.

I have served on the core
board of BSA for three years
(Freshman Representative,
Sophomore Representative,
and Secretary / Treasurer).
During this time I participated

activities collaboration with
groups to see that the needs
of the campus community as a
whole is being served. I want
to develop a link between all
groups, whether or not they
are SGA subsidized, for a more
complete campus community
picture. Above all, I want to
make the coming year a
positive and productive one
for BSA.

Social Council Pres. Arts Council Chairman

BETH FINKLEA

My brother asked me if
T.G.I.F. meant "thank
goodness I'm female," and I
said, "sure it does!" As your
Social Council President I will
not use this new definition,
but I will try to improve the
weekend of every socially
deprived scottie. To do this,
Social Council will have to ap-
peal to the social needs of a
wide range of students.
Because Social Council is an
organization that every stu-
dent is a member of, the coun-
cil will need your input about
the types of bands and parties

that you want.

How can Social Council im-
prove a weekend at Agnes
Scott? Social Council could
sponsor a joint mixer with an
Emory or Georgia State Frater-
nity so that we can meet men
from other schools. Social
Council could also aid Film
Series and T.G.I.F.'s could be
followed by a special film. For
instance, a M.A.S.H. Spring
time is a season not to be
couped up during and this spr-
ing why not have an outside
early evening band party? Or
Spring Formal could be held

Christian
Association Pres.

Virginia Harrell

In considering the can-
didates for election to the of-
fice of President of Social
Council, I am sure that you
have carefully pondered many
relevant and important fac-
tors. These may include
leadership ability, experience
on the council, creative ideas,
pertinent goals, and so forth. I
feel that I possess the
necessary qualities, ex-
perience, and the enthusiasm
to successfully plan and carry
out the functions of Social
Council. I have served as both
a class representative and a
member of the executive
board as treasurer of the coun-
cil. I believe that Social Coun-
cil is an integral part of stu-
dent life at Agnes Scott;
therefore, I would like the op-
portunity to serve as Presi-
dent.

I am looking forward with
great anticipation to having
the privilege of serving as
President of Christian
Association during the '83-'84
school year. Upon entering
this office I desire to see the
accomplishment of several
goals. I would like tor Chris-
tian Association to be more
representative of the Agnes
Scott student body. The pur-
pose of C.A.'s existence is to
help meet the spiritual needs
of the students as well as to
provide avenues through
which interested students may
serve and grow in their
knowledge and trust of God

on the riverboat at Stone
Mountain. Social Council and
another campus group could
sponsor a picnic with fried
chicken, tunes, and a keg or
two. This year's council has
already ordered Spring Formal
glasses and if this venture is a
success, I would like to have
different glasses each formal
so that we can remember
those special evenings.

By now you may be wonder-
ing if I have any experience
that qualifies me for this posi-
tion. For three years I have
been a class representative on
the council. I was distribution
chairman and advertised
social events on and off cam-
pus. This year I am T.G.I.F.
chairman and I help plan,
organize, and implement
those parties so that they run
smoothly. During the three
years I have served on the
council, I have learned a great
deal from each president and
board. As your Social Council
President, I will bring my
knowledge and experience to
represent your ideas and
social needs. I would like for
your 1983-1984 social life to be
much better than this year's.
With Beth Finklea as your
Social Council President a
great effort will be made to
meet these goals.

and His Word. I desire that
C.A. continue to seek more
and more to reach to all
members of the student body
whether it be through large
group meetings, small group
Bible studies, prayer
breakfasts, chapels, or
most importantly personal
relationships. Needless to
say, as is the case in ail cam-
pus organizations, your par-
ticipation is vital. As next
year's President, I would ap-
priciate very mucy any input,
ideas, or questions you might
have regarding Christian
Association. Thanks for your
support.

There has been alot of talk
lately of making Agnes Scott
better known. I believe a good
way to promote Agnes Scott is
to promote her varied and ac-
complished arts groups.
Agnes Scott has a wealth of
Fine and Performing Arts. The
purpose of Arts Council is to
promote these groups, provide
communication between
them, and to encourage Agnes
Scott attendance at events
both on campus and in the
Atlanta area.

In the past few years
representatives to Arts Coun-
cil from Aurora, London Fog,
"Madrigals, Glee Club and
Dolphin Club have all stopped
attending meetings. I don't
blame them. Their groups were
not receiving advantages from
their Art's Council member-
ship. As chairman, I would like
to direct the emphasis of the
organization so that it serves
all the Fine and Performing

My name is Julia Roberts. I
am an Art major. I have been
on Dorm Council for the past
two years, and I am the Junior
Class representative on the
core group of the Board of Stu-
dent Activities. Although I
have not been a member of
Arts Council, I feel that I could
be an effective leader within
the group. Sometimes the per-
son with the most ability and
not necessarily with the most
experience is the best person
for the job. A chairperson in
any organization needs to be

Arts groups on campus.

This year I was Secretary of
Arts Council. I have been a
member of Blackfriars since
my freshman year and I have
tried to attend all the Arts
events on campus. I have just
completed a Public Relations
Internship at The Atlanta
Ballet. From this experience I
have gained many news ideas
which I feel will benefit Arts
Council.

I would also like to en-
courage Agnes Scott
awareness of Arts events in
Atlanta. The success of last
quarter's evening at The Atlan-
ta Ballet convinces me more
chances to attend events off
campus would be welcome.

Next year, I hope Arts Coun-
cil will give everyone at Agnes
Scott the chance to attend or
participate in the Arts events
available here.

able to deal with people and
situations with ease and
authority. That person must
have a good balance within
herself. Arts Council is to
unify the different art related
groups on campus and to
maintain intercommunication
between the groups on order
to make the arts at Agnes
Scott an integral part of stu-
dent life. Arts council has
much potential; it needs
leadership within itself to
guide it to be what it could
become.

INTERDORM CHAIR

FINAL BALLOT

Louise Gravely

Hello! My name is Louise
Gravely, and I am running for
Interdorm Chairperson. I feel
that I will be able to do a very
good job in this office, not
because of vast experience,
but because of my desire to
serve you, the students at
ASC.

I went to a boarding school
my last two years of high
school which gave me a good
introduction to what boarding
life is all about, and I have
since gone on to be Walter's
dorm president this year. As I
said before, my foremost goal
is to serve you, the student, as
best I can as a campus leader.
I would like to see a greater
unity between the dorms,
building on the foundation
already laid by Interdorm this
year. I would also like to have
more participation in dorm,
inter-dorm, and campus-wide
activities (like fire drills, right
Walters?), and to promote

safety-consciousness as far
as fire hazards and respect for
the new key system we have.

New ideas? Of course, with
a new Interdorm Council,
Chairperson and Vice-Chair,
there are always going to be
new ideas. One idea (of many!)
that I have is to promote more
interaction between upper-
classmen dorms and
freshman dorms through
games like "Secret Sister" ( a
little like "Terrific Turkeys" ex-
cept across classes instead of
dorm halls! More details later .

Well, that's a small cross-
section of what I'd like to do
and see as Interdorm Chairper-
son. I'd also like to see a great
turnout for elections this year
to see all of you elect the peo-
ple you think are best qualified
for these jobs. See you at the
polls!

Fran Ivey

Interdorm, the group that
throws good parties, makes
sure you know and follow
dorm regulations, and pulls
fire alarms at two in the morn-
ing, is also the group that tries
to keep you informed of
changes on campus, especial-
ly those concerning your safe-
ty. For this reason, the Inter-
dorm chairman needs to be
able to understand and com-
municate student's problems
to administration. She also
needs the experience of work-
ing with dorm councils and In-
terdorm. I have served as Inter-
dorm secretary. Walter's

secretary and president
(winter quarter), and a dorm
counselor. This background,
combined with my experience
of working with others to coor-
dinate extracurricular ac-
tivities qualifies me for this
position. However, qualifica-
tions without enthusiasm and
dedication to an organization
are worthless. The Interdorm
chairman has a responsible
and challenging position.
Since I am qualified, en-
thusiastic, and dedicated, this
position would be a challenge
I would gladly accept.

Wouldn't you like a chance to meet the candidates for SGA president and Interdorm Chairman in an infor-
mal setting and hear them speak candidly about topics which may not be included in their Profile articles or
election speeches? Tonight is your chance.

An Elections Board was appointed last quarter to review our present election procedure. In an effort to af-
ford students the opportunity to hear the candidates discuss their qualifications and goals in a different
unrehearsed situation, an informal debate was organized. The candidates for SGA President and Interdorm
Chairman will participate in two separate. 30-minute debates for their particular office. The questions will
not be available to the candidates in advance, therefore their responses will be candid. Every candidate will
address each question within a two minute time limitation. Time permitting, questions from the audience
will be discussed.

This student debate is scheduled to begin at 8:15 pm, TONIGHT, in the Hub. Bring your friends and listen

to your candidates carefully.

As the lights dimmed and
the candles flickered, the
1982-83 Mortar Board passed
its flame to the newly chosen
board members of the Junior
Class. Due to inclement
weather, the tapping
ceremony took place in the
gym on Tuesday night, April 5.

Fifteen juniors were chosen
to this national senior
honorary society, first organiz-
ed at Agnes Scott in 1931.
Members are selected on the
basis of outstanding service,
scholarship and leadership.

Inducted into the 1983-84
Mortar Board are Tracy Baker,
Betsy Benning, Cheryl
Carlson, Katherine Edwards,
and Sue Feese.

Also elected to the group
were Louise Gravely, Frances
Harrell, Le Thuy Hoang, Mary
Ellen Huckabee, and Fran Ivey.

In addition, Susanna
Michelson, Alicia Parades,
Diane Rickett, Tina Roberts,

and Helen Stacey are new
members of the organization.

In relation to the Mortar
Board festivities, Senior Carol
Goodman was announced as
the Junior Class Motor Boat,

the senior who will be most
missed by the class.

At the official Mortar Board
induction convocation in
Gaines Auditorium April 6, C.
Benton Kline, Jr., a Professor
of Theology at Columbia
Theological Seminary, spoke
on the topic, "Work and Who
You Are." This year's topic
was picked in conjunction
with the inauguration theme,
"Work and Weil-Being." Thirty-
one years ago, Mr. Kline gave

his first address to a Mortar
Board induction convocation.

In his talk, Mr. Kline stated
that our sense of identity is
significantly related to how we
make our living. He posed the
question, "Are you a nobody if
you don't do something
significant in the working
world?"

The professor advocates
that a person's work should
carry some intrinsic meaning
no matter in what socio -
economic category it is plac-
ed. "I once was told a story of
a waitress who, after waiting
on several tables one night,
felt as if she had been perfor-
ming for the city center
ballet," he related.

As a final statement,
specifically directed to the
new junior members of Mortar
Board, Mr. Kline wished, "I
hope work will be a way that
you will find who you are, and
who you are will determine the
way in which you work.

**** Success and The Real World *****

From The Editor's Desk

by Rache! McConnell
and Peggy Schwee.s

"Let's not kid ourselves, this
is F work if I've ever seen F
work." This kind of comment
is unquestionably blunt and to
the point. Some would argue
this reflects a supposed "real-
world" evaluation of work. The
question becomes whether the
above evaluation is helpful in
an academic setting such as
Agnes Scott and whether it is
truly effective in preparing the
student for job-related pro-
jects and evaluation.

The effectiveness of such
comments at Agnes Scott
must be weighed in terms of
the school's stated commit-
ment to develop the total
woman. This concept
assumes a respect for in-
tellectual as well as overall
development. This evaluation
may point out the technical
aspects of the work but does it
offer any constructive alter-
natives standing singularly on
a page as it did in this case?
Does such a comment inspire
improvement in future work?
We are not simply talking
about bruised egos, but unfor-
tunate abuses of instructional
license. This form of criticism
leads to alienation. We count
a small student-teacher ratio

as one of our most distinct ad-
vantages at Agnes Scott. This
advantage, however, is
rendered ineffective if aliena-
tion occurs due to statements
like the one above.

Could alienation simply be
the price we pay to accustom
ourselves to a careless evalua-
tion. Two very essential
elements of a real world
evaluation of a project are
preparation and confidence.
Preparation comes in the form
of technical knowledge. In this
case the technical knowledge
gained at Agnes Scott is the
retention of facts, figures, and
techniques. This application
of knowledge is what could be
defined as "F work". The se-
cond element, perhaps the
most important element, is
confidence. The evaluation
above obviously does nothing
for the individual's con-
fidence. A list of what is wrong
in a student's finished product
can only be effective when
coupled with comments on
what was done correctly.
Positive comments lead to
heightened confidence and
better results.

Upon completion of the
term several professors re-
quest the students fill out an

evaluation sheet. The implied
request is that the student be
honest, fair, and constructive
in their analysis of the course.
A comment like "this course is
obviously inferior and the
teaching techniques faulty,"
not coupled with a comment
on those techniques that were
effective or with ways in which
to improve those techniques is
virtually useless. A professor
would throw this evaluation
away, and incorporate one
with positive, constructive
suggestions. The student, like
the professor, can only
restructure her product if she
is given constructive ways in
which to do so.

With this in mind, we hope
that more professors may be
inclined to rephrase their
evaluations of student work.
Positive comments on correct
elements together with a clear
understanding of the incorrect
elements can comprise a more
useful evaluation. This more
realistic approach should lead
to a more confident attitude,
and more precise utilization of
technical knowledge. With
these tools in the student's
hand she has a better chance
at success in the real world.

and goals we have set for this
next term and next year. With
thanks to Langhorne Sydnor,
Class of '58, we present "From
the Editor's Desk."

'The primary concern of the
editors and staff of this paper
is to provide an honest and
complete coverage of news
events of interest to Agnes
Scott. We aim to benefit the
students by offering an objec-
tive and unbiased view of local
occurances. To provide an in-
teresting, informative paper
each week is the job and the
goal of our staff.

A second purpose of the
News (Profile) is to serve as a
sounding board not only for
the editors and guest editors
but for the entire community.
We welcome letters written in
praise, criticism, or question
of events relevant to current
topics.

The third goal of our
newspaper, and particularly a
goal of this year's editorial
staff, is to represent and sup-
port the ideals of Agnes Scott
College. We shall endeavor
especially through our
editorials to emulate and
praise the things that support
our Agnes Scott traditions and
aims.

These are the things for
which we strive each week.
These are the intentions of the
1957-58 ('83-'84) editorial staff
of the Agnes Scott news
(Agnes Scott College)."

Rep Rap

by Sue Feese, SGA Pres.

WHY REP RAPt Why not Sue's Scoop or Robert's Ruies
Revisited or EY AWXKAR.B.F.T.R.IXML (everything you
always wanted to know about Rep but forgot to read in the
minutes?) These are presently more unique titles, but i feel
that Rep Rap is the best because it links together^my week-
ly thoughts with the important information found on the
Rep Rap board in the maiiroom. Why read Rep Rap or the
Rep Rap board? First, of ail, i hope that this column wlil
communicate the events of major consequence that have
happened in the past week or will happen in the near
future.

Second, perhaps the title of this column will encourage
you to remember to read the minutes of each Rep meeting
which are posted within, yes, twelve hours after the final
gavel sounds at each meeting. And, if you get close
enough to read the Rep Rap board, you'll discover that in-
dividual roil call votes are posted so that you can know
how your class reps and dorm rep voted on each issue.
Then, of course, you'll be only a hop, skip and shuffle from
your rep's box and you can let them know how you feel
about one or many issues. Remember, SGA represen-
tatives and officers /ove to get mail it makes their job a
lot easier and effective.

Finally, Rep Rap implies communication, conversation,
chatter, verbalization, talking, or whatever your favorite
word is for putting thoughts into words and letting them
flow from your mouth. What is there to rap about, you ask?
Everything from the status of Rep proposals concerning
pass / fail policy (it passed!) and students on faculty com*
mittees to the special surprise being planned for May
(details soon). Interested In changing or keeping the
"gender" phrasing in many of the titles of organization
heads, the oaths of office, and sections of the handbook?
Talk to Tina Roberts, Debbie Brown, Xan Fry, Sharon Gore
or Ruth Feicht who are investigating this Idea for Rep.
Does helping Agnes Scott raise its level of energy con-
sciousness charge you up? I suggest that you talk to Betsy
Benning, Eileen Altman, Susanna Mlchelson, or Helen
Stacey, members of Rep's new energy awareness commit-
tee. Are you interested In representing Agnes Scott at the
second annual conference on "black students on white
campus?" Let me know well be choosing eight student
delegates within the week.

if food is your major concern, then Anna Cheshire, Gab-
by Drake, Laura Langford, and Helen Stacey are the ones
you want to contact (perhaps a breakfast meeting would
be appropriate). If you have any ideas or suggestions con-
cerning anything and everything, don't hesitate to stop by
the SGA office during office hours (Monday night
7:30-9:00) for a rap session, to call on Extension 385, to
write me c/o box 85, or to drop a water balloon on me from
the top of the Hub as I'm scurrying across the quad.
Whatever tactic you choose, I assure you that you'll have*
my full attention. I'm not guaranteeing that I'll have all the
answers, but til probably know where to find them. Oh, I
would like to say one final thing: please take 30 seconds to
congratulate the old officers and members of all campus
organizations. Their leadership, input, and presence will be
missed greatly but their goals and hopes for the organiza-
tions will continue. So for now, the prez sez that whether or
not I'm behind door four, or talking on extension 385, I'm
anxiously awaiting the chance to rap about rep with you.

Loans Available
To Class Of '84

The Hattie M. Strong Foun-
dation makes no-interest
loans to students who feel
they need help with the cost of
their final year of study at a
four year accredited college.

All arrangements are made
directly with the students
themselves. Personal inter-
views are not conducted.
Students should apply in
writing, giving brief personal
history and identification of
the educational institution at-
tended, the subject studied,
date expected to complete
studies and amount of funds
needed. If the applicant
qualifies for consideration for
a loan, formal application
blanks are then sent to be fill-
ed in and returned to the Foun-
dation. Since there are normal-
ly many more applicants than
the funds available can ac-
commodate, loans are
necessarily made on a com-
petitive basis, taking into ac-
count the applicant's motiva-
tion, need and self reliance as
well as scholastic record.

Further information and the
Foundation address may be
obtained from the Financial
Aid Office.

Weber Creates Macrosum Model

by Helen Stacey

Last fall, students in Dr.
Weber's International
economics class were expos-
ed to a rather unique learning
situation. They were active
participants in the writing or
evolution of their textbook.
Last summer found Dr. Weber

occupied with writing the first
draft of Macrosum, his inter-
national text. Motivated by the
paucity of existing interna-
tional economics materials,
Dr. Weber claims that he has
"never been fully satisfied
with my international course
because the theory in it is so
abstract it cannot be useful or
practical. It has no carry-over

Important Loan Information

by Alice Grass

Unfortunately, because there had been so much adverse
publicity last year in the newspapers, on radio and t.v. about
the Guaranteed Student Loan program eligibility requirements,
fewer of our students than usual bothered to apply. And,
because very few of those students were actually proven in-
eligible for the loans, we feel that more students should have
applied and probably would have been eligible for at least
some money. (The maximum amount a student may be eligible
to borrow is $2,500.)

Final regulations for the Guaranteed Student Loans for
1983-84 have not been published yet. However, students who
are interested in applying for GSL's from their banks for their
1983-84 educational costs may most likely count on regula-
tions similar to last year's.

Eligibility Students whose adjusted family income is
$30,000 or less may automatically qualify for these loans sub-
sidized by the government. Those with higher incomes will
have to complete a very simple one-page Needs Test to
demonstrate need for the loan. Current legislative action,
however, may require this Needs Test for all applicants,
regardless of their family income. This Needs Test does not
ask for documentation of assets tied up in real estate or in-
vestments. The Needs Test does take into consideration total
costs of the school attended, size of family, number in college,
family's total adjusted gross income, and any financial aid the
applicant may be receiving.

Repayment of Loan The loans are interest free to the stu-
dent while she is enrolled full time in college. After graduation,
interest on the loand is only 9% and the actual minimum repay-
ment amount is $600 per year. Repayment is deferred if the stu-
dent goes on to full time graduate school.

How to Apply Call or visit the student loan department of
the bank at which your family has its savings and checking ac-
counts. Ask for a GSL application and ask when you should
submit it. Banks probably will not begin processing these
loans until spring quarter, but be sure not to miss their applica-
tion deadlines! Deadlines are usually in June or July. Also,
banks sometimes run out of GSL funds before their actual ap-
plication deadline dates, so try to apply as early as possibly.

for those who want to unders-
tand international
economics."

In addition, Dr. Weber feels
that the field of international
economics has become "par-
ticularly important since four
out of five jobs created in the
United States since 1970 have
been dependent on interna-
tional trade in one way or
another." Consequently, he
created a model of the interna-
tional economy which he nam-
ed Macrosum.

The model utilizes Leontief
input-output analysis, an ap-
proach which is not currently
used in any international
texts. Macrosum employs "a
mixing of Keynsian interna-
tional economic theory and
Leontief analysis which seem-
ed to be what was required if
you want to teach theory that
is useful to practical people."

After creating Macrosum,
Dr. Weber felt that it needed to
be accompanied by a written
explanation. At this point, he
first realized that he needed to
write a text. He wrote com-
puter simulations for several
constituent components of
Macrosum. In this way, the
students will analyze five com-
puter simulations before tackl-
ing the overall model of
Macrosum.

Currently, two publishers
Hughton Mifflin and
Southwestern are reviewing
the first draft. Although the
computer programs do not
need to be altered, the text will
require revision. Throughout
the fall, Dr. Weber had to write
numerous appendixes to
clarify the model to the
students. In effect, he
generated most of the book
while teaching the class. This
proved very difficult (at one
point Dr. Weber said that the

class had evolved into a
tutorial with each individual
student, and that it had given
him a terrific headache. As
this article is intended as an
accolade and not an expose'
suffice it to say that the
course proved extremely time-
consuming).

Yet the effort expended was
very beneficial to all involved.
Certainly the general consen-
sus of the class would agree
with Dr. Weber's opinion that
the students found
themselves significantly
challenged. From a personal
viewpoint, Dr. Weber claims
that he was "extraordinarily
pleased, principally because
they (the class) learned a lot of
sophisticated international
theory with applications to
what was happening at the
time and what will happen in
the future."

Indeed, the material con-
tained in Macrosum proved
especially pertinent to the
massive restructuring of the
U.S. economy which is current-
ly taking place; "an interesting
aspect about the book as it

Women's Market
Potential Explored

by Helen Stacey

Several Agnes Scott
students attended a con-
ference sponsored by Women
in Communications, Inc., on
March 17, 1983. Entitled
"Working to Win: A Profes-
sional Development Seminar,"
the seminar involved a series
of sessions held at the Riviera
Hotel in Atlanta.

Beginning the seminar,
Susan Bixler, president of The
Professional Image, Inc.,
discussed the importance of
visual impact. She entertained
the audience with numerous
tips concerning the creation of
a professional image.

After Ms. Bixler's talk, the
audience split into two groups
for the next session. The
Agnes Scott students attend-
ed the session on career plan-
ning. Liz Getz president of
It's Your Business, a career
consulting firm discussed
the concept of self-marketing,
including successful resume
writing and job interviewing
techniques. She extolled the
need to "advertise yourself in
the best possible light with a
cover letter and a resume. If
you were a product, you would
have an entire company spen-
ding thousands of dollars to
promote you."

During the lunch hour, Betty
Lehan Harragan gave the
keynote address. Author of
Games Mother Never Taught
You: Corporate Gamemanship
for Women, Ms. Harragan
deplored the lack of women in
traditional line management
positions. After lunch, the con-
sulting team of Robbins and
Associates conducted a
workshop on the best way to
interview for a job. The final
speaker of the day was Col-
leen O'Neill, a clinical
psychologist. Entitled "Stress
and the Working Woman," her
talk highlighted the most con-
structive means of eliminating
undue stress.

worked out is that the sub-
ject is so important to the U.S.
right now that Wall Street
Journal articles were con-
stantly appearing illustrating
almost every theoretical point
involved." Thus was Dr.
Weber's goal of teaching "a
course which would help peo-
ple understand structural
change in the U.S. economy
and the way in which interna-
tional trade was forcing that
upon us" further reinforced.

Extern Program Clears Up Career Myths

by Debbie McLaughlin

A total of 35 Agnes Scott
students participated in the
Extern Program over spring
break. This program continues
to be one of the most popular
off-campus programs with a
total of 131 students having
participated since its beginn-
ing in 1979-80.

Says Beverly Lorig. Assis-
tant Director of the Career
Planning Office, "The Extern
Program is designed for
students to spend five days,
Monday through Friday, with a

Tracy Baker

Junior Tracy Baker externed
at the Mecklenburg County
District Court House in
Charlotte, North Carolina
under the sponsorship of Resa
L. Harris, a 1973 graduate of
Agnes Scott. Tracy also lived
with Resa who is a district
court judge..

During the day, Tracy learn-
ed how the court system
works and what the everyday
life of an attorney entails.
Tracy says of living with Resa
outside of the courtroom, "I
was able to view her whole
lifestyle. I met many of her
friends. We were given much
more time to talk and had
much more time to share
together. Over dinner
sometimes, I would just pour
out the questions in such a
relaxed atmosphere."

Other than viewing Resa in
the courtroom, one day Tracy
worked with a public defender
and went to jail with him while
he talked to his clients. She
also spent a day riding in a
police car with a Charlotte city
policeman while he was on du-
ty and even helped him serve a
warrant and arrest.

Says Tracy, an English /
French major, of her extern-
ship, "It made me even more
certain about what I want to
do. I always wanted to be an
attorney, and now I'm sure it's
what I want to do now that I
know much more about an at-
torney's lifestyle."

Laura Feese

Sophomore Laura Feese, a
chemistry major, worked with
Dr. Leonard Furlow, Jr., a
plastic surgeon in Gainesville,
Fla. for her externship.

Laura observed the doctor
in his office caring for his pa-
tients. She also scrubbed with
him and by the end of the week
was assisting him in opera-
tions, carrying out such minor
procedures as cutting stit-
ches. "I stood right by Dr.
Furlow while he explained
everything that was going on
in the surgery. He took a ge-
nuine interest in me and really
made me feel a part of what
was going on." Laura states.

Laura relates some of the
benefits from her externship,
"I got to see Dr. Furlow func-
tion both in a private practice
and in a hospital environment.
Also, Dr. Furlow told me of his

professional in a career area
that interests them. This year
20 alumnae sponsored extern-
ships. The remaining extern-
ships were sponsored by
alumnae spouses and col-
leagues."

Ms. Lorig continues, "19
students participated in ex-
ternships here in Atlanta this
year. Many students who did
not live in or near the city took
up residence at the Alumnae
House. 16 other students
traveled to different parts of
the state and some went out of
state as far as New York City.

medical school experience,
relating practices that are
beneficial and mistakes that
can be made.

Furthermore, on her extern-
ship Laura viewed the medical
research program at the
University of Florida where
she was able to talk to people
in graduate courses and even
to watch somebody doing
microsurgery research.

From her externship Laura
says, "I really became absorb-
ed in the medical environment.
I've always wanted to go into
medicine, and now my career
plans have been strengthened
further. I never considered go-
ing into surgery before, but
now after the externship I
might consider it."

Helen Stacey

Junior Helen Stacey, a
biology / economics major
also externed in the medical
field. Helen's sponsor was Dr.
Rose Trincher, who is an inter-
nist and assistant chief of the
Spinal Cord Injury Unit at the
Veterans Administration
Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.
At the hospital, Helen had the
chance to view men who are in
a rehabilitative program, many
of whom are paralyzed or have
lost limbs.

Helen reveals, "Many of
these men cannot feel when
something is wrong with them
and break bones and bruise
areas without knowing it. I
was able to watch the careful
monitoring that is used for
these patients and specifically
the special medicine that is
applied to quadriplegics, peo-
ple who have lost all their
limbs."

During her externship,
Helen also observed the infec-
tious disease faculty at the
Medical College of Georgia
where it was arranged for her
to make rounds in an infec-
tious disease ward. Helen also
spent a day with Dr. Trincher's
husband who is a cardiologist
and with whom "she was able
to view new methods at look-
ing at the heart."

After externing, Helen says,
"Many people have a
glamourized notion of a doc-
tor. But I learned that doctors
work long, hard hours
sometimes running all over the
hospital with no time to eat."

She concludes, "Yet

It took awhile to make housing
arrangements. However, many
Agnes Scott alumnae
volunteered their houses, and
some students were lucky
enough to stay with their spon-
sors."

This year over 20 career
fields were represented in the
Extern Program, the most
popular being law, business,
sciences / research, and
medicine.

"This year the career plann-
ing office received a number of
offers from a wide variety of
placements. Our office then

medicine is an interesting pro-
fession where a person is
always learning new and
special concepts. It is a hard
challenge, but it is worthwhile
in that a person in the medical
world works directly for the
good of society."

Sissy Owen

Junior Sissy Owen, an
economics / history major,
also involved in the business
preparatory program, made an
externship at the Ivan Allen
Company in Atlanta to "nar-
row down" her interests.

"I've always been interested
in sales, sales with small
customers and sales with
large accounts. Through work-
ing with the sales department
at the Ivan Allen Company, I
was able to find out if this area
of business is suitable for
me," she says.

Sissy continues, "My ex-
ternship was designed so that
I took the same introductory
courses that a beginning sales
person for the company would
take. I also traveled to retail
locations with sales represen-
tatives."

Furthermore, Sissy learned
all about the Ivan Allen Com-
pany. "Established in 1900,
Ivan Allen is a very conser-
vative office supply company.
Almost all of the office sup-
plies at Agnes Scott, anything
from pens to desks, come from
this company," Sissy reveals.

After completing her extern-
ship, Sissy says, "Many peo-
ple have stereotypes of sales
people as used car dealers. I
learned this is not true. It is a
very respectable and pro-
fitable career. The job involves
self-discipline, responsibility,
and control. In this field, the
size of a person's sales
reflects the amount of work he
or she puts into it, whereas in
management, hard work
doesn't always show."

Also concerning her extern-
ship Sissy says, "I'm trying to
gain as much work experience
as I possibly can. When I start
applying for jobs I don't want
anybody to tell me, 'I'm sorry,
you don't have any
experience."

Cheryl Carlson

Junior Cheryl Carlson also
completed an externship in
the business world over spring
break. An economics/English
major, Cheryl worked in the

advertised these placements,
students filled out applica-
tions for specific externships,
and then assignments were
made. This year we had an
overabundance of applica-
tions for the science-related
fields, so many students were
referred to the shadow pro-
gram," Ms. Long relates.

Summing up the Extern Pro-
gram Beverly says, "Students
are able to learn first-hand
what the working world is like,
while gaining experience and
more in-depth exposure in a

metropolitan bank division of
the First Atlanta Bank where
she was involved almost ex-
clusively in the banking center
sales representative incentive
training program. Cheryl also
reviewed some training kits for
this program, salvaging and
discarding parts from books,
films, and tapes.

Looking back at her extern-
ship, Cheryl says, "It was
much more demanding than I
thought it would be. I thought I
would work more with some-
one and do more observing.
I worked by myself, had pro-
jects to do, and had deadlines
to meet."

She continues, "There was
very little interpersonal com-
munication. I was expected to
know answers and not to ask
questions. I felt I was less
competent than was
expected."

From her externship Cheryl
learned, "Working in a high
bank position takes a lot of
dedication; it is a job that
can't be done half-heartedly. I
used to think that banks were
full of conservative, old men.
Yet, from my experience, I now
realize that banks are ag-
gressive, approachable, and
open to new ideas."

In the counseling area
Sophomore Laura Salter ex-
terned at the Psychoeduca-
tional Center in Griffin, Ga.
The psychology major who

chosen field. Also, students
develop contacts that can be
used later on in job hunting."

Ms. Lorig also suggests that
students participate early in
the program. This year 7
seniors, 17 juniors, and 11
sophomores took part in an ex-
ternship. "Beginning in
sophomore year, students are
eligible to take part in the pro-
gram. This is a great time for a
student to begin deciding if a
chosen major or career plans
are right or wrong for her. An
externship clears up a lot of
myth in a career choice."

and psychotic children in the
pre-school, school-age, and
adolescent age group.
"Before, I wasn't really sure if I
wanted to go into counseling
and teaching, but now I am
seriously considerering both
fields," Laura says.

"During my externship, I
was able to teach the children
in the classroom. I was expos-
ed to many autistic and
schizophrenic children.
Through it all though, I realiz-
ed that many of these children
come from poor, broken
families, and with the proper
guidance and care can even-
tually be brought into a normal
school environment. The real
reward is when this happens,"
she concludes.

Henri O'Brien

In the writing communica-
tions field, Senior Henri
O'Brien worked with the
Preservation Information
Coordinator at the Department
of Natural Resources' state
historic preservation office.

"17 years ago the National
Register of Historic Places
was established to encourage
people to preserve old
buildings. I learned how the of-
fice deals with this program as
well as its other respon-
sibilities," Henri states. "I was
able to talk to an ar-
chaeologist who is involved
with identifying possible sites.
I was also able to visit the ar-
chaeology lab at Ga. State,
tour the State Archives, and at-
tend an Urban Design Com-
mission meeting."

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

Male, Female Goals Merging

We congratulate Ruth
Schmidt upon her inaugura-
tion on Friday, April 8 and ex-

pect coverage in the April 18,
1983 issue of the Agnes Scott
Profile.

Reach Out, Correct Someone

Most of us have had the
agonizing experience of
sleepless nights spent worry-
ing that friends had noticed
our dangling participles in
conversation that day. How
many relationships have been
ruined with careless pronoun
reference? The list is stagger-
ing. Well, now you can kiss
those embarrassing gram-
matical faux pas goodbye with
no more effort than a phone
call.

The Grammar Hotline, (212)
R-E-W-R-l-T-E, provides timely
answers to tough grammar,
spelling and usage questions.

The grammatical
counselors keep dictionaries,
the New York Times Handbook
of Style, the UPI Handbook of
Style and assorted grammar
books near the phones for
reference.

The hotline takes calls 1-4
pm, Monday through Friday.

Ten professors from York Col-
lege take turns volunteering to
answer the phones.

Some callers aren't content,
however, to stick to comma
splices and related queries.
One person asked for informa-
tion on Tolstoy's politics.
Luckily for the caller, Hux hap-
pened to know a little about
the subject and proceeded to
give a brief rundown of Leo's
political views.

Hux tries to have all the
answers, but if he doesn't
know the answer to a question
and can't find it quickly in a
reference book, he will call
back later with the answer. To
get information, hotline
counselors sometimes must
contact experts.

There are two other hotlines
similar to the one at York Col-
lege: one in Little Rock, Ark.,
and the other at Illinois State
University in Champaign.

Male and female students
are beginning to share similar
goals for career and family
life, according to an on-going
study by Radcliffe U. resear-
chers.

privately funded research pro-
ject, surveyed the goals,

Abroad Program

Can you imagine getting
college credit while touring
East Berlin, watching the
changing of the guard at Buck-
ingham Palace, or examining
the ruins of Pompeii? College
students in Georgia can get
credit for these things by par-
ticipating in the 1983 Studies
Abroad Program sponsored by
the University System of
Georgia.

Students may study abroad
for six to nine weeks during
the summer quarter and earn
10 to 15 hours of credit toward
their degrees. The program of-
fers opportunities for students
to travel to a foreign country,
learn another culture or
language, and delve into
history where it happened.

This year the Studies
Abroad Program will sponsor
seven summer trips. Language
and culture programs are of-
fered in Paris; Erlangen, Ger-

many; Segovia, Spain; and in
Quebec City. In Mexico City, it
will be possible for students to
take a wide variety of courses
in English. In London, courses
will be offered in British
culture and theater, or history.
Students choosing to study
classical cultures will go to
Italy and Greece.

The costs for the program
vary and there are scholar-
ships available. The cost of
the trips covers round-trip air
fare; all meals, lodgings, tui-
tion, and group travel ex-
penses. In most cases,
students will live with host
families.

The students will gather to
read papers and to ask ques-
tions of philosophical impor-
tance. The conference will
begin Friday with a reception

and a talk by Professor Donald
Verene, Chair of Philosophy at
Emory University. The next
morning and afternoon
undergraduate students will
read papers and conduct
discussions.

Agnes Scott has been a
member of this conference for
over 25 years and has always
played an important part in its
sessions. Professor of
Philosophy, Dr. Richard Parry
says that this meeting of the
minds "represents the best of
Agnes Scott College."

classes of 1981 through 1985
are participating in the on-
going project. The current data
was collected in 1981, says Dr.
Diana Zuckerman, a clinical
psychologist and director of
the study.

That data shows that only
3% of the female students
aspire to careers in traditional
women's fields such as
teaching and social work,
while one-third seek careers in
medicine, law, business and
other male-dominated fields.
Male students, on the other
hand, are giving family life a
higher priority. One-third of the
1,000 men in the survey said
they would prefer to stay home
or work part-time until their
children begin attending
schools. "Males and females
were equally likely to want
children and wanted the same
number (2.3)," says Zucker-
man. "Women were more like-
ly to want to spend more time
at home with the children."
Only 10% of the women
surveyed said they would
choose to work full-time while
their children were pre-
schoolers.

The study confirms the com-
mon notion that the economy
is influencing student career
choices. Almost one-third of
the students said their career
goals were not what they
would most like to pursue, and
half of that group said finan-
cial factors dictated the
change.

The Seven College Study is
currently funded by a private
foundation grant, which Dr.
Zuckerman hopes will con-
tinue through 1985. Future
surveys will ask students to
rate on-campus services and
will compare students to see
how those who use specific
services differ from those who
haven't. "Each of the seven
schools set services up dif-
ferently," says Zuckerman.
"This will allow us to assess
which are more effective."

The French/history major is
going to graduate school in art
history. From her externship
experience she says, "After
talking to Candice Brown and
Susan Ham, my Agnes Scott
alumnae sponors, and other
people whom I met during my
externship, I realized the many
opportunities that are
available in art / historic
preservation which I never
knew existed.

Laurie MacLeod

Traveling to New York City,
Senior Laurie MacLeod also
worked in the writing / com-
munications area.

"I am a Spanish major, and
I've participated in Studio
Dance Theatre for four years,
so when I saw an externship
advertised for the Ballet
Hispanico it leaped out at
me," Laurie relates.

Explaining what the Ballet
Hispanico is, Laurie says, "It
was founded to give Spanish
speaking and minority
students a company of their
own. Dance routines range
from ballet, modern, flamingo,
to jazz."

Laurie worked with the ad-
ministration director of public
relations. "My work consisted
of writing press releases and
working on a funding pro-
posal, for which I had to com-
plete research at the Lincoln
Center for Performing Arts."
Other sites Laura visited out-
side of work included the
Metropolitan Museum of Art
and Rockefeller Center.

As an administrative assis-
tant, Laurie learned that the
job consisted of a wide range
of duties from working with
engagements of the company
to legislative bills. It was a ver-
satility she really enjoyed and
would consider for a future job
in the international business
field.

Of her trip to New York,
where she stayed with
relatives, Laurie relates a few
disadvantages of the trip,
"The weather really slowed me
down. And, I kept getting lost. I
was trying to keep the ex-
ecutive image; yet, finding
places while wearing pumps
and working all day, my feet
were really killing me."

Mary
MacKinnon

Sophomore Mary MacKin-
non externed with the publica-
tion Southern Accents, a
magazine that features
Southern homes and gardens.
Mary's sponsor was the
managing editor, Mrs. Diane
Burrell, a 1967 Agnes Scott
graduate.

"As managing editor, Diane
makes sure that everything is
organized and runs smoothly.

She also works a lot with the
lay-out and paste-up of the
magazine," Mary states.

"One thing Diane related to
me is that her job has no set
routine. Many says a daily
plan is just thrown away,
because the publication field
is so unpredictable."

During her externship, Mary
observed Diane, but she also
was able to do some work of
her own.

"I did some proofreading
and checked captions under
pictures. For this regional
publication, the staff is ex-
tremely careful about proof-
reading copy and avoiding
mistakes," Mary says.

Mary was also involved in
some special projects. She ex-
plains, "I started work on a
comprehensive index to all
Southern Accents issues that
have been sold. It will be
something similar to a
reader's guide. I also helped

with the planning of an ap-
pointment calendar that will
be marketed this coming
Christmas."

Of her externship for
Southern Accents, Mary con-
cludes, "I enjoyed the informal
and friendly atmosphere and
the variety of the job."

Promoting
From Within

According to a University of
Michigan "Management Suc-
cession" study, job-hoppers
do not usually get to the top of
corporations.

The best way to get to the
boardroom is to stay with the
same companies. Most com-
panies promote presidents
and vice presidents from
within the company.

So once you get that job
after graduation, plan to stay
with it and prove loyalty to
your employer.

An Urgent Appeal to the Agnes Scott Community

BY Linda Woods

One of the truly distinctive
qualities of Agnes Scott Col-
lege has been its traditional
dedication to sponsoring
events on our campus the
finest of world-class musi-
cians. Our programs are ob-
viously significant with
respect to public relations,
both by virtue of the visitors
who help constitute our au-
diences and by means of the
good will we have built over
the years in a musical com-
munity that is worldwide in
scope. We have earned the
regard of grateful Atlanta
residents for our contributions
to their musical welfare; we
have impressed many
distinguished musicians with
our responsiveness and our
hospitality; and we ourselves
have been able to hear groups
like the Guarneri String
Quartet, the Beaux Arts Trio,
the Pittsburgh Chamber Or-
chestra, and the Julliard String
Quartet as well as extraor-
dinary soloists at very little
cost to our pocketbooks and
with exceptional returns of en-
joyment and enrichment on
any investment of time we
might make in attending these
fine programs.

In the course of the last two
years, Agnes Scott's commit-
ment to great artists and fine
music has been formalized in
the series of three yearly
events we now know as the
Kirk Concerts. I can hardly
believe that there is a soul on
campus even the most un-
musical among us who
does not see the value of this
series to our college and who
would not grieve at its early

demise. And yet we are at
some risk at this moment.

The artists who have been
engaged to play on our cam-
pus play very few if any
colleges and universities.
They come to Gaines Chapel
of Agnes Scott from the great
concert halls of Europe and

formance of Rudolf Firkusny
and Henryk Szeryng. These
concerts have represented an
incredible opportunity for all
of us on this campus, as those
of you who attended well
know. The fees for these vir-
tuosi were not inconsiderable
and we gambled when we

Appel, Richard Stoltzman.

this country's largest cities.
Their fees, similarly, are im-

invited them. I, personally, did
not think we would have any
empty seats particularly for
Mr. Szeryng's Golden Jubilee
Performance, which I assum-
ed would be sold-out as all his
symphony engagements have
been and as triumphant as the
performance at New York's
Avery Fisher Hall which
followed his visit here. Alas,
an exquisite concert went
unheard by many students
who would have found it a
memorable evening, I feel
sure; and as a consequence,
we are short of funds as the
Tashi program draws near.

What can I possibly say to
convince you that we've got to
have your support this time? I
can remind you that these
events constitute an important
part of your education, of
course, and I can ask you to
consider the future of the
series and the loss to Agnes
Scott and its reputation
should it cease. I guess I can
tell you that those of us who
work with the series would be
heartened and reassured by a

strong show of support but
that we're willing to stop urg-
ing these concerts on you if
you wish us to stop. I think
most of all I need to assure
you again that you will enjoy
the evening and learn from
it. You will be hearing a group
of musicians, each of whom is
a virtuoso performer of his
respective instrument.
(Richard Stoltzman, the
clarinetist, was the subject of
a fascinating feature several
weeks ago on "Sunday Morn-
ing" on CBS; even hearing him
through the bad acoustics of
television, I was moved almost
to tears).

Please buy a ticket to this
concert. If you have already
bought one. please buy
another. If for some reason
you can't go (desperate illness
or death), then buy one
anyway. Buy them at student
prices for your family and
friends. Tickets will be on sale
in the Dining Hall on Monday
and Tuesday, April 11 and 12,
at lunch. You may get them
from Prof. Byrnside at any
other time.

pressive though never, have
we felt, inappropriate. It is
some trick, however, to keep
ticket prices supremely low for
those of us on campus, keep
them attractive to outsiders,
and still manage to bring in
enough revenue to supple-
ment our subsidy from the Kirk
estate so that the series is
financially feasible. Fees and
subsidiary expenses, especial-
ly printing costs, continue to
climb.

We have had two stunning
concerts this year with the per-

The Sting II reaffirms an
adage that seems to ring true
more and more these days:

I think that I shall never see
A sequel that appeals to me.

So what's wrong with The
Sting II? Apparently the main
problem is that it's a sequel,
following Newman and Red-
ford's hilarious The Sting,
which deservedly ran away
with seven Oscars in 1973. But
this is an incredibly ridiculous,
boring sequel, one that had no
business being made in the
first place. Even if you don't go
to the theater cherishing fond
memories of Redford and
Newman, it still goes without
saying that those who sting
with one successful con are
more likely to get stung in
return.

The film's plot is somewhat
decent, almost interesting.
The problem is, if you saw the
original Sting, little remains in
the way of conning that can-
not be second-guessed.

Unlike the original, which
brilliantly mocked and ignored
the reality of virtually
everything, all that's
presented here is what it ap-
pears to be: the warmed-over
con jobs, the dimestore gum-
shoe quips ("He swallowed
the worm") and the shallow,
shamelessly tedious storyline.
The script screams for
freshness and originality, but
instead it's slapped in the face
by flat performances and flat-
ter humor. We don't even get a
peek at Veronica's little
secret, or why she's so happy,
until the very end.

Not much can be said for
Gleason as Fargo Gondorff ex-
cept that, unlike his utterly em-
barrassing performance in The
Toy, there is at least some eye
contact and only a little sleep-
walking through the role. But
as in Toy, there remain the
stupid smiling and mugging
that so cheapen his character.

As Gus Macalinski, Maiden
does show hints of promise,
although the roughness and
toughness required for such a
character is masked by jerky
performances and a lousy
Jersey accent. And what can
be said for Mac Davis, except
that thank God that Jake
Hooker is too busy ditching
the police ever to strike up a
tune.

Destination: Philippines

by Tracy Baker

Some of the Agnes Scott
Glee Club members had a very
memorable spring break.
Twelve students went with Mr.
Theodore Mathews and his
wife to perform in the Philip-
pines as part of the Atlanta
Friendship Force program.

Angelyn Bagwell, Nancy
Carter, Carolyn Conley, Tami
Ehteredge, Frances Harrell,
Danon Jones, Katie Milligan,
Kathy Richards, Melanie
Roberts, Renee Roberts, Dawn
Teague and Ann Weaver spent
March 13-23 in Manila, where
they stayed with host Filipino
families. Ann Weaver says
that "staying in these homes
added a great deal to the trip."

The group performed in
private schools and one col-
lege. They gave an outdoor
concert in a park in Manila
which was taped for a televi-
sion program. Other European
musicians also were included
in this program. While in
Manila, the group was able to
meet many local people, in-
cluding the mayor, who took
them all out for dinner. They
were given a tour of the city,

Astronomy Film
Lecture Series

Fernbank's Astronomy Film
& Lecture Series will continue
this spring with the following
programs:

April 13 - "Life And Death of
Stars" will trace the life
history of a star from a cloud
of gas to its potentially ex-
plosive end.

April 27 - "Tools of the
Astronomer" will present a
review of some of the in-
struments used by
astronomers to study the
heavens. Following the lecture
will be a tour and brief viewing
session in Fernbank's obser-
vatory using the 36-inch
telescope (weather
permitting).

May 11 - "Indian Legends of
the Sky" will explore the
heavens from the point of view
of the native Americans.

May 25 - Film: "Sunspot
Mystery" will examine what
sunspots are and whay may
cause them. It also explores
the nature of the sunspot cy-
cle on the sun.

June 8 - Film: "The Obser-
vatories" will present a tour of
the major American obser-
vatories including Kitt Peak,
Cerro Tololo, Sacramento
Peak, the V.L.A. and Arecibo.

All lectures and films begin
at 9:15 p.m. and are offered to
the public free of charge on a
first come, first served basis.

Puzzle Answer

which included visiting
Pagsanjan Falls. Sidetrips in-
cluded traveling to the town of
Baguio, which is a resort city
in the mountains north of
Manila. Here they toured,
shopped, and visited a weav-
ing school.

Ann relates, "We had many
interesting encounters in the
marketplaces the Philip-
pine men kept following us try-
ing to sell mangoes. The men
could shout 'Jimmy Carter'
and 'Ronald Reagan' to catch
the attention of the
Americans. Nancy Carter even
got a marriage proposal."
Most of the group left the
Philippines to visit Tokyo
where they did much touring
and sightseeing until March
27. They saw the Great Bud-
dha in Kamakura. "The train
ride to reach the Buddha was
interesting the train went
right through backyards and
down the middle of the street
of the town," says Ann.

In summing up the trip, Ann
could only say, "It was the ex-,
perience of a lifetime." She
said the Filipinos must build a
bridge of trust with strangers

before they let you get to know
them. Because the Glee Club
members did not have time to
build this trust, she feels they
came away knowing little
about the Filipinos as in-
dividuals, while she feels the
Filipinos learned a great deal
about them. "But," she says,
"as a people, we came to
understand and to appreciate
them."

"Stolen Treasure:
Ellen Terry's Secrets'

England's legendary leading
lady, history's greatest
Shakespearean actress, will
return from the past to the
Alliance Studio Theatre from
April 12 through 17 in Stolen
Treasure: Ellen Terry's Secrets
by Ginger Bailey.

Dame Ellen Terry, who lived
from 1848 to 1928, travels
through time to Atlanta to
reminisce about her "lifelong
love affair with Shakespeare"
onstage as well as her off-
stage friendships with
Disraeli, Robert Browning,
John Singer Sargent, George
Bernard Shaw and other
greats of the Victorian age.

Sir John Gielgud com-
mented in a letter to Ms.
Bailey, "I greatly enjoyed (your

play) on Ellen Terry, which I
thought most deftly put
together . . . your conception
of her style and manner comes
over very well."

This living portrait of Dame
Ellen Terry provides a
fascinating foil for the
Alliance's mainstage produc-
tion of Shakespeare's Twelfth
Night, which runs from April 6
through May 1.

Stolen Treasure: Ellen
Terry's Secrets will be per-
formed at 8 pm Tuesday
through Saturday, April 12
16, and at 2:30 pm on Sunday,
April 17. Tickets are $6; group
rates are available. For
tickets, call the box office at

Tennis Team Swings Into Action
And Courts Victory

Measles Scare Over

by Caroline Bleke

The tennis team was tossed
back into action quickly after
spring break. Monday, March
28 found them journeying to
lovely Gainesville, Georgia for
a match against a fellow
women's college, Brenau. The
weather was quite cool and
windy as spectatora Nagget
Kelly, Nancy Childers, and
myself will vouch.

Tracy Baker was the sole
victor that day with a score of
7-6, 6-0. Sue Feese split sets
and lost in a close match to
her opponent 6-4, 4-6, 4-6. The
final outcome, however, was a
smashing sucess for Brenau.
They won five singles and
three doubles matches.

The following Wednesday,
the ASC team played at
Georgia Tech. Due to bad
weather, doubles could not be
played. Also, Feese and Baker
split sets and were unable to
complete their matches due to
the inclement weather. Coach
Messick reports that the
match will be completed later
in the season.

Noteworthy matches that
day were played by Virginia
"Blast 'em away" Bouldin and
Amy "Attack Force" Puckett.
Each athlete won her match
with ease. Bouldin defeated
her foe, 6-4, 6-2. Puckett won
with a score of 6-4, 7-5.

Virginia "Blast 'em Away" Bouldin plays a winning game.

ASC also dominated the
match against Berry College.
The Scott team crushed the
Berries in the majority of in-
dividual and doubles matches.
The beautiful weather made
playing and watching tennis'
most enjoyable.

Feese, 6-1, 6-2. Bouldin, 6-2,
6-1 (rumors have it she was ex-
tremely psyched for the game
excellent VB!). Sarah Bell,

6-1, 6-3..T-bone Baker, 7-6, 6-3.

Doubles: Feese / Bouldin
6-3, 6-2. Puckett / Bell 6-1, 6-3.
Good team work, women.

Watch the weekly bulletin,
ask a team member, or Miss
Messick for updates on future
games. Hop on down to the
courts and bring your
homework and some suntan
lotion. It's up to us to support
our tennis team.

The Great Indiana University
Measles Outbreak in which
over 21,000 students were vac-
cinated and nearly 200 others
actually were infected has
been contained, health of-
ficials now report.

But such outbreaks can,
and probably will, happen "at
any college or university in the
country over the next several
years," experts warn.

The Indiana outbreak began
with a few isolated cases of
red measles in late January
and early February. By early
March, however, over 70 II)
students had contracted the
disease.

Center for Disease Control
(CDC) officials were called in
from Atlanta to help control
the epidemic, which threaten-
ed to infect as many as two-
thirds of Ill's 32,000 students.

IU launched a massive vac-
cination program to contain
the epidemic. Between mid-
February and mid-March, of-
ficials innoculated over 21,000
students. Statewide, Indiana
immunized over 37,000 people.

Still, by March 11, as
thousands of IU students hit
the road for spring break, of-
ficials feared students would
spread the measles to their
hometowns and to student
resort areas such as Ft.
Lauderdale.

"And we have yet to hear of
one case of measles spread by
IU students during their spring
break," adds Dr. Ken Allman, a

CDC specialist on the scene in
Bloomington.

IU officials suspect about
3500 to 5000 IU students have
still not been vaccinated, and
may be susceptible to the
measles.

Those students are being
allowed back on campus as
they return from spring break,
Green says, despite earlier
reports that all unvaccinated
students would be barred from
classes and social events.

"The situation just isn't that
volatile now," he explains.

But such "leniency" may be
the precise reason the
epidemic started in the first
place, says the CDC's Allman.

"If colleges and universities
don't set some kind of im-
munization standard or re-
quirement for incoming
students, the same thing
could happen at any college or
university in the country over
the next several years," he
cautions.

Much of the current college-
age population, he explains,
did not receive measles vac-
cinations when it was young.
And because the disease was
well-controlled even then,
most people did not build up a
natural immunity by exposure
to the measles.

Consequently, "we have a
whole age group that is

epidemic" in the nation's col-
leges and universities.

Hypertension Curable

Dr. Walter Kemper, a
hypertension pioneer,
developed his widely used low-
sodium diet in the 1940s. It em-
phasized rice, fruit and
vitamins, and was a common
treatment for hypertension un-
til the 1950s, when doctors
began prescribing diuretics,
drugs that reduce the body's
fluid volume despite possibly
high sodium levels by
stimulating urination. The use
of drugs diuretics and
several other kinds of drugs
to lower blood pressure has
saved many lives in a culture
where hypertension has
become an epidemic. But an-
tihypertensive drugs are ex-
pensive and may cause side
effects including: drowsiness,
depression, sexual impotence
and peptic ulcers. Conse-
quently, in recent years, doc-
tors and patients have shown

renewed interest in treating
high blood pressure by restric-
ting sodium intake.

For the more than 70 per-
cent of the population not
predisposed to hypertension,
overindulgence in salt may
never become a serious pro-
blem. But people with
histories or family histories of
obesity, heart disease or
stroke should be aware of the
amount of sodium they ingest
each day.

The best way to learn
whether you should cut your
salt consumption is to keep
track of your blood pressure.
Have it checked at least once
a year at a clinic, hospital,
mobile blood pressure unit, or
at the coin-operated stations
now in many shopping centers
and pharmacies around the
world.

Exercise Into Spring

AA Hosts Swim Meet

by Claire Sever

On Wednesday, March 30th
the Athletic Association held
an intramural swim meet. The
events included individual
events, relays, and comic
events. The freshman class
had an outstanding victory,
followed by the juniors,

seniors, and sophomores.
Some of the winners included
Ruth Feicht, Agnes Parker,
Caroline Bleke, Ann Weaver,
Ann Lindsay, Mary Carter
Whitten, Diane Rickett, Alex-
andra Fry, and Elder Maxwell.
We had a good turnout and the
swim meet was a success.

Spring is just around the
corner, but many people are
discovering that their bodies
are still in winter hibernation.

If you're one of these people

if you lose your breath while
dressing, or break into a sweat
picking up the morning paper

then it's time to shape up
for the warm weather season.

The best way to shape up is
by cardiovascular exercise.
Cardiovascular exercise is any
prolonged rhythmic movement
of the large-muscle groups
that strengthens the heart and
lungs. Cardiovascular exer-
cise benefits your total body
whereas strength exercises
such as weightlifting benefit
only certain muscles.

Probably the most popular
cardiovascular exercise is run-
ning. One nice thing about run-
ning is you can just go out
your door and start right there.

But a running program must
be started slowly. Don't try to
do too much the first time you
begin running.

The first step (provided you
have a doctor's consent if your

family has a history of heart
disease or if you are over 35
and have been fairly inactive),
is the "talk test." This is a
breathing test that determines
your anaerobic threshold
how long you can run without
the threat of injury. You can
determine this threshold by
running at a moderate pace
until you're so short of breath
you cannot carry on a conver-
sation. For most people, it's
between 12 and 14 minutes.
That's where you should start
your program.

Once you know your
threshold, you can begin the
hardest step running
regularly. Try to run three
times a week or on alternate
days. And you should progress
one to two minutes a week un-
til you're up to about 30 to 45
minutes a run the optional
running time needed to main-
tain fitness.

Stretching before running

and having a good pair of
shoes are important.

But many people do not like
running, and if you don't like,
you're likely to quit soon. It's
very important to find an exer-
cise that is enjoyable.

Bicycling and swimming are
also cardiovascular exercises,
but like running, they are in-
dividual activities. Some peo-
ple need motivation.

That's when organizations
and health clubs are helpful.
Many people find the group at-
mosphere makes getting in
shape easier.

But whatever your path to
fitness, exercise has mental
as well as physcial advan-
tages. People who exercise
are more self-confident and
assertive than they were
before they were in shape.

And, most importantly, exer-
cise can help you from tiring
while dressing or picking up
the morning paper.

NCAA takes Over Women's Sports

The NCAA's move last fall
to take over women's athletics
has been upheld in federal
court. The AIAW (Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women) has contested the
move on anti-trust grounds.

The NCAA is now running

both male and female athletic
programs, having successfully
nudged out the fledgling com-
petition.

In 1982, the NCAA's univer-
sity representatives voted to
end the division of their
athletic departments.

President Schmidt Inaugurated

by Colleen O'Neill

"I have become an ardent
supporter of women's colleges
and have stated many times
that there is no better place for
a woman to be educated in
1983 than in a good women's
college." So said Dr. Ruth Ann
Schmidt in her inaugural ad-
dress. At 3 o'clock in the after-
noon, on April 9, 1983, Dr.
Schmidt became the fifth
president, and the first woman
president in the 94 year history
of Agnes Scott. Two of Presi-
dent Schmidt's predecessors,
Presidents Emeritus Wallace
M. Alston and Marvin B. Perry,
Jr., participated in the
ceremony. Descendants of
Presidents Gaines and Mc-
Cain were also present. In the
words of President Schmidt,
"They symbolize the continui-
ty of purpose which is an im-
portant aspect of Agnes
Scott's life.

The inaugural ceremony
was moved indoors to Gaines
Chapel because of the threat
of rain. Originally, plans had
been made to hold the in-
auguration in the am-
phitheatre. A committee of
trustees, alumnae, faculty and
students was in charge of
planning the Inauguration.
Nancy Childers, Mary Ellen
Huckabee, and Nancy Patier-
no represented the student
body on this committee.

At the suggestion of Presi-
dent Schmidt, the Inaugura-
tion was used as an opportuni-
ty to show off Agnes Scott to
the many distinguished guests
and to the State of Georgia.
The events were planned to
reflect President Schmidt's
pride in Agnes Scott. For this
purpose, there were Glee Club
concerts, performances by
Studio Dance Theatre and
Agnes Scott doggers, and a
student art exhibit.

In spite of the rain and other
problems, those who worked
on the committee consider the
Inauguration a success. Ban-
ners were made by students to
represent all the student
organizations on campus. The
Agnes Scott College banner,
which was on the lectern, Is
the first that the college has
had. Bertie Bond, Ad-
ministrative Assistant to the
President, said, "I think Agnes
Scott products stole the
show." She among many
others, highly praised the
speech of welcome given by
SGA President Nancy Childers
on behalf of the student body.
Also praised were the
Greetings from the Alumnae
given by Jean Salter Reeves,
'59, and the Sunday morning
Inaugural Worship Service
lead by Mary Jane Kerr Cor-
nell, 74.

Other colleges and univer-
sities, scholarly and profes-
sional societies and associa-
tions, sent delegates to the In-
augural Ceremony. These in-
cluded representatives from
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT,
Duke, and Washington and
Lee. The President of Wheaton
College, where President
Schmidt resigned from her
position as provost to accept

Alston's ceremony, however, it
rained heavily and all those in
the procession had their
academic regalia drenched.
Berite Bond remembers Presi-
dent Alston remarking that the
distinguished assembly smelt-
ed like a bunch of "wet pup-
pydogs."

The tone of President
Alston's Inaugural was more
formal and academic than the

more recent two. It coincided
with the dedication of Camp-
bell Science Hall. There was
neither a ball nor a celebra-
tion. Instead, there was a lun-
cheon and a reception for
delegates and important
guests. President Perry, who
loves to dance, decided to
hold an Inaugural Ball. Agnes
Scott students and faculty
were invited. So were the

maids, janitors, groundsmen
and other employees. The ball
was held off-campus because
at that time liquor was not
allowed on campus. The Ball
was held at the Executive Park
Motor Hotel. Mrs. Pepe
remembers it as a "mob
scene, fun, but not very
dignified. Everyone was hav-
ing the most wonderful time."

The committee for President
Schmidt's Inauguration chose
not to have a ball. They felt a
celebration spotlighting the
Arts on campus was more in
keeping with the idea of show-
ing off Agnes Scott. Dean
Kirkland, Trustee Sis
Newsome and a committee of
students, headed by Mary
Ellen Huckabee, planned the
celebration which followed the
Inauguration ceremony. "We
needed a completely festive
occasion," Mrs. Pepe said,
"We are not so formal in our
part of the country."

In spite of the rain, the In-
auguration went off "splendid-
ly," according to Bertie Bond.
As of April 9, 1983, Ruth A.
Schmidt is the official Presi-
dent of Agnes Scott College.

the Agnes Scott Presidency
also attended. As President
Schmidt wished, these
delegates left Agnes Scott im-
pressed by the college and by
its students.

After leaving the pomp and
circumstance of the Inaugural
Ceremony, the delegates , the
guests, and the college com-
munity emerged from Presser
Hall to be greeted by scores of
purple and white balloons.
Trumpeters and pages, garbed
in bright costumes, invited one
and all to join in a celebration.
The "Dixie Darlings," Agnes
Scott doggers, and Studio
Dance Theatre danced;
Madrigals and London Fog
sang. Rich's catering service
transformed Letitia Pate Din-
ing Hall into a scrumptious
formal reception.

Everyone in the Agnes Scott
community faculty, ad-
ministration, students and
employees received engrav-
ed invitations to both the
ceremony and the celebration.
Dinner was cancelled to allow
the kitchen staff to attend. All
who could be relieved of their
jobs were given the day off.

This is the third Inaugura-
tion at Agnes Scott which Pro-
fessor Marie Huper Pepe has
attended. She calls herself a
member of the "Old Guard."
The weather, she remembers,
has played a part in Agnes
Scott Inaugurals before. It was
sunny and beautiful for Presi-
dent Perry's Inauguration; the
ceremony was held in the Lit-
tle Quadrangle. At President

by Susan Whitten

The Inaugural weekend was
filled with many events to
celebrate and discuss the
theme "Work and Well-being."
A choral concert, panel
discussion and addresses, in
addition to the ceremonies,
were included in the Inaugural
Celebration.

As President Schmidt ex-
plained, she chose the in-
augural theme "Work and
Well-being" with hopes that,
"we would give serious atten-
tion to matters which are in-
timately related to the mission
of Agnes Scott College as a
liberal arts institution for
women but which also go
beyond our immediate educa-
tional purpose and affect
society as well."

Men and women represen-
ting all facets of work life
opened the discussion on
"Work and Well-being" in the
panel Friday night. Charles A.
Burden, Professor of Manage-
ment at Georgia State Univer-
sity, discussed work as direct-
ly related to jobs and one's ex-
pectations of them. He ques-
tioned whether people ask too
much or too little of their jobs.
Mollie Baskin, Project
Manager in Corporate Finan-
cial Planning with the Coca-
Cola Company, defined her
view of work and well-being as
a mother in a dual career mar-
riage. Also relating to the fami-
ly, attorney William T. Hudson
named his wife and children

as his main source of support.
As a self-employed worker, he
emphasized the value of draw-
ing more support from outside
the job.

Feeling that the theme was
"very appropriate for a stu-
dent," Angela Drake '83,
discussed stress, competition
and achievement. She sum-
marized her view by saying "I
cope, therefore I am." Ginger
Hewitt - Maurus, Legal-
Secretary and Chair of the
Campaign Committee of
Atlanta Working Women,
elaborated on statistics of
women in the work force and
touched on automation in the
workplace. These are con-
cerns, she stated "in working
for a better world for myself
and others." Meshing many of
these points was C. Benton
Klines, Jr., Professor of
Theology at Columbia
Theological Seminary, who
had spoken earlier in the week
on work as it relates to "who
you are." Moderator was Alice
F. Emerson, President of
Wheaton College, who also
touched on women in the
workplace and one's attitude
toward a job.

Saturday morning,
Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Pro-
fessor of Sociology and Pro-
fessor of Organization and
Management at Yale Universi-
ty, addressed the theme.
Kanter believes the issue is
"the quality of the work one
does." She attributed stress in
many jobs to "underload."

Courtesies from the co-
workers and the company,
flexibility within the position,
and power or control over
other employees are large con-
tributors to the state of one's
well-being on the job. Equally
important is "sponsorship and
backing," on a personal level,
performance as part of a team,
and relevancy to a wider scope
problems. Kanter, in short,
feels that "the important thing
about work is what type it is."

By Saturday afternoon,
many views of "Work and
Well-being" had been express-
ed in preparation for President
Ruth Schmidt's Inaugural ad-
dress. After citing the basic
connections between work
and well-being and its
economic and intrinsic
rewards, she discussed work
and the women's movement.
Bridging the local view to that
of a world-wide scope, she
stated:

"The choice of work, not
once but many times in a
lifetime, needs the solid foun-
dation of an understanding of
the interrelatedness of life, the
complexities of human in-
teraction, of our economic
system, and social fabric, and
above all, hearts and wills at-
tuned to love and justice."

Agnes Scott contributes to
this outlook by educating
women to "demand a greater
participation in deciding the
conditions and organization of
work" on a local and world-
wide view.

Preparing For A "Co-ed" World
That Is Not Under Honor Code

by Rachel E. McConnell

There are two very impor-
tant aspects of the college ex-
perience at Agnes Scott that
come under constant criticism
by students from other institu-
tions and those who are not
convinced of our most basic
precepts. These aspects are a
single sex education and an
effective honor code. Both are
attacked on the grounds that
they do not reflect the real
world outside of the institu-
tion. The comment is frequent-
ly made that, "The real world
has men and is not under an
honor code." The question
becomes what is the function
of a learning institution in
general and this institution in
specific. Is it the institution's
responsibility and duty to ex-
actly reflect the world beyond
its walls? Or, is it rather the
responsibility of that institu-
tion to instruct, nurture, and
develop the individual to in-
sure a balanced character that
can not only adapt to her world
but perhaps impress upon it
an improvement?

If a learning institution is to
precisely reflect the world
outside of that institution's
domain it must fulfill a stag-
gering requirement. This re-
quires that the institute
simulate the real world. Col-
lege, as it stands now, pro-
duces a unique life style and
promotes an equally unusual
set of priorities. The average
student is financially depen-
dent on either a relative, a
scholarship, or a bank. Surely
this situation does not ac-
curately reflect the real world.
During this financially depen-
dent time period the student
directs her energies not
toward the real world objec-
tives of "putting food on the
table", but rather her energies
are directed toward gaining
the knowledge that will assist
her future success in that
endeavor in both its economic
and social aspects. The pur-
pose of a learning institution
is the acquisition of
knowledge. This knowledge
takes the form of technical or
factual knowledge as well that
which instructs the interaction
between individuals and
groups. Therefore, if an institu-
tion is to promote one aspect
of society in general, namely
education, it cannot hope to
reflect society as a whole.

College is in and of itself a
focus of energies toward the
acquisition of knowledge. It re-
quires a financial obligation
as well as an obligation of
time. College promises for
that obligation the knowlege
mentioned above that is
necessary to function more ef-
fectively in the diverse society
outside its walls.

Does Agnes Scott prepare
her students for the real
world? Accepting the fact that
no institution of learning
directly reflects the real world;
does the experience here void
of the male sex and governed
by a functioning honor code
prepare her students for the
real world, populated by men
as well as women and govern-
ed by less than honorable
codes in many instances? Is
the presence of men
necessary in this preparatory
stage of development? Is the
presence of the real world
elements of lying, cheating
and stealing truly necessary in
our learning stages to prepare
us for the world outside?

Agnes Scott does not direct-
ly mirror the real world. We live
and govern ourselves without
men in order to concentrate
our energies on strengthening
the woman who will one day
join men and confidently live
with them. We school
ourselves and temporarily
avoid financial independence
so that we can better provide
our own financial support. We
abide by an honor system so
that we can develop personal
guidelines for a world of
economic competition. We
learn to get where we want to
be, without cheating. How can
a world be run by a collection
of individuals that do not have
the technical or social
knowledge their degrees sym-
bolize because they acquired
these degrees through
cheating?

Our four years experience
here does not reflect the reali-
ty of the world outside our in-
tentionally artificial sphere
because we believe that for
this period of time it is impor-
tant to develop who we are so
that who we become can both
adapt to and make an impres-
sion on the world for which we
are preparing.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

Letter To
The Editor

Dear Editor:

I have been witness to
mounting frustration over the
past several weeks. The point I
would like to address is that of
the alleged lack of communi-
cation and student input be-
tween the students and the
administration on this cam-
pus.

First of all I would like to ex-
plain the network that is set up
for the major reason of a com-
munication link between
students and administration.
There are actually two working
systems: one is Interdorm with
elected reps on every hall and
a President, Vice-President,
Secretary-Treasurer in every
dorm. This organization has
direct lines of communication
through the president of Inter-
dorm to the Dean of Students
Office. Secondly, Rep Council,
as the governing board on this
campus, has elected class and
dorm reps which are linked
directly through the president
of the student body to the
President of the College and
the Dean of Students Office.

These two means of com-
munication are not taken ad-
vantage of by the student body
and I think it is absurd that
they are not.

A student who deems it
necessary for the President of
the College to make herself
accessible to any individual
student must not realize the
role and duty of the president.
She is responsible for making
this college work both now
and in the future and yes, that
includes listening and talking
to students. I advocate that.
But she also has many more
responsibilities. I advocate
student input and communica-
tion through the realistic
means already established.

The President of Rep and
the council members are pro-
bably the most informed group
of people on this campus. For
students not to respect their
power and knowledge is an in-
sult to Rep and the student
body. They and Interdorm were
elected by the students to
represent the students. They
need your support to allow the
system to work. Give them
your ideas, your input, your
complaints and your support
so that they can make the
communication system work
on this campus.

To The Agnes Scott Community:

The festivities of the Inauguration Weekend filled me with joy,
and I trust that all of you also experienced the excitement of
celebrating the extraordinary community which is Agnes Scott
College and the rededication to its mission and purpose.

I want to thank the hard-working members of the Inauguration
Committee and other staff members, faculty, students and alum-
nae who contributed so much creativity and enthusiasm to the ac-
tivities. The Celebration of the Arts following the ceremony added
so much to the spirit of the day. The reaffirmation of Agnes Scott
College, its people and its purposes, which this occasion provid-
ed, will help us make the most of our heritage and plan for the
future with vision and dedication.

Thank you all for your participation and for the opportunity to
work together for the well-being of all. Thank You,

Ruth Schmidt

buT "m&RtS ekEN /V bUGWT FIRE/,,

Rep Rap

by Sue Feese
and Helen Stacey

"Don't be part of the
problem be part of the solu-
tion."

How does one distinguish
between the two? Say you're a
firefighter who is called to bat-
tle a fire. Extinguishing the
flames is an obvious solution;
fanning the flames is simply
spreading the problem. Or, in-
stead of a raging fire, it could
be a piece of gossip that slow-
ly sets the campus aflame.
One should smother the fire.
Informing your whole hall of
the news certainly constitutes
spreading the problem. The
purpose of this analogy,
however, is not to lecture on
the options open to firemen.
Instead, it is intended to em-
phasize the necessity of a
positive, constructive reaction
to any complaint, rumor, or
piece of information that you
might find upsetting. Only in
this manner can everyone's in-
terests be looked after
satisfactorily (or, we econ ma-
jors would note, only in this
way can a position of max-
iumum utility be achieved by
all).

One thing students have
been "fired" up about recently
is a seeming lack of com-
munication among students,
faculty, and administration.
Certainly close communica-
tion is vital if all are to be cor-
rectly informed. Lack of stu-
dent initiative and input,
however, appears to Rep
Council to be a false fire
alarm. For instance, last week
the Executive Committee of
the Faculty voted on a pro-
posal made by Rep Council to
allow student members on the
following faculty committees:

Future of the College,
Academic Standards, and Cur-
riculum. In addition, Rep ex-
ists to serve as the basic link
between faculty, administra-
tion, and the student
populace. As such, it is
recognized as the official
voice of the students. Rep
urges students to channel
their concerns through these
established lines of com-
munication.

That is not meant to imply
that there is only one way to
fight a fire. For instance, Presi-
dent Schmidt is anxious to at-
tain a closer rapport with the
student body. Consequently,
she plans to attend several
dorm meetings and to invite
the different classes over to
her house in order to further
student-administration lines
of communication. Such
methods of fire prevention are
found to eliminate the danger
of sudden explosions.

On to more practical mat-
ters. Although Rep Council,
like any volunteer fire depart-
ment, is truly dedicated, finan-
cial matters must inevitably
surface. Thus the Budget
Committee has been es-
tablished to assist the
treasurer in the utilization of
scarce resources to provide
maximum satisfaction for
unlimited wants. (The econ
major surfaces again).

One final note: Fires which
burn out of control can be
quite dangerous. Fires which
are carefully tended while the
rest is being grilled to perfec-
tion are some of the best and
most desirable kinds of fires.
"Rumor has it" (ha!) that our
"roast" will be worth every
minute of the wait. Are you
getting hungry?

Students Extend Inaugural Greetings

by Nancy Childers,
SGA President

It is my privilege and
pleasure to bring greetings
from the students of Agnes
Scott College. I would like to
extend a heartfelt welcome to
our new president, Dr. Ruth
Schmidt, and to the new spirit
and energy which she has
brought to our campus. I hope
that this new spirit can be
combined with the meaningful
traditions and unique oppor-
tunities which continue to in-
vite students to learn and to
grow in a stimulating and
satisfying environment such
as Agnes Scott. I, furthermore,
welcome you, President
Schmidt, to a family environ-
ment where people care about
each other and encourage in-
dividual growth as well as uni-
ty as a group. As a member of
this family, you can work ef-
fectively with the immediate
college community and all of
our loyal friends who are
dedicated to the well-being
and continued success of
Agnes Scott.

Let me remind you that ours
is a very diversified student
body. While we come from
many different geographic
regions, select different ma-
jors, and will choose different
ways in which to spend our
post-graduation years, we all
share feelings of respect,
gratitude, and love for Agnes
Scott and for the high stand-
ards of academic excellence
and the Christian ideals that
are continued here. In accep-
ting the demanding position of
President of our college, you,
too have committed yourself
to support these purposes and
have already shown that you

are willing to direct all of your
energies towards maintaining
such emphasis.

We students appreciate
your flexibility, your creativity,
and your open-mindedness.
One must be very flexible in
order to make many new
friends ( including Indian
figures like Ahwoo and Black
Cats who dance), to adjust to a
community which is as un-
familiar with snow as you were
with the delicacies of grits,
and to be surrounded by
students who drink Coca-Cola
on top of the Hub instead of
"soda" or "pop" on their way
to the shore . . . and all this in
less than one year! With poise
and seeming ease, you have
accepted a new and different
lifestyle, and have been in-
troduced to many different
aspects of our 94-year-old
Agnes Scott family. In turn,
you have introduced to us, as
our first woman president, a
new model of determination
and achievement. You have
shown that you can appreciate
our heritage, while emphasiz-
ing the necessity of preparing
for our future. Your ideas for
the "channels of creativity"
encouraged everyone to make
suggestions for improving and
strengthening our college
community. You have shown a
genuine concern for student
interests and have been will-
ing to meet with students, for
example, in small groups at
breakfast, or at special con-
vocations, or on an individual
basis in your office. As
students, we are happy to
have as our fifth president, a
woman who welcomes our in-
dividual opinions and sugges-
tions and who is eager to work

together for the betterment of
our "family."

The excitement we students
felt last spring about the
nomination of our first woman
president has continued, and
we hope that today's special
ceremony will generate even
stronger feelings of en-
couragement and support.
Just as the Apostle Paul
greeted the Colossians with
love and respect, on behalf of
the students, I would like to
share these verses with you:

Being a responsible student
is stressful enough, but with
the approach of midterm or
final exams, there tends to be
an accompanying increase in
stress anxiety. Uncontrolled
stress can easily cause one to
blow his cool during a testing
situation and can even lead to
complications which could
threaten the whole college
career.

Now is the time when an in-
crease of "if only" thoughts
are likely to occur. Everyone is
familiar with "if only"
thoughts: ones like, "if only I
had decided to become a race
car driver;" "If only my
allowance didn't depend upon
my attending classes;" and "If
only I could drop out of school
so I don't have to miss Satur-
day's football game."

Fortunately, it is quite nor-
mal to have such thoughts, to
have the hesitation and anxie-
ty that accompany high-stress
situations. And, unpleasant as
they may be at the time, stress
and anxiety can be productive
states if used to the proper ad-
vantage.

And so, from the day we
heard of it, we have not
ceased to pray for you, ask-
ing that you may be filled
with the knowledge of His
will in all spiritual wisdom
and understanding, to lead
a life worthy of the Lord,
fully pleasing to him bear-
ing fruit in every good work
and increasing in the
knowledge of God. May you
be strengthened with all
power, according to His
glorious might, for all en-
durance and patience with

Dealing With

The key to managing stress
and anxiety is recognition that
it exists. Excess stress can
rob a person of his cognitive
and creative thought pro-
cesses when he is most in
need of them. To do anything
about it, however, one must
first become aware of the
stress. Stress can manifest
itself in many forms: mental,
physical and emotional.
Here's what to look for:

Mental: Forgetfulness, loss
of concentration, poor judge-
ment, disorganization, lack of
interest / motivation, living in
the past or future, obsessions
and compulsiveness.

Warning: Caffeine and
sugar are known to affect con-
centration and recall of infor-
mation. Now is the time to
take up jogging for that need-
ed pick-me-up.

Emotional: Irritability, ner-
vousness, moodiness, emo-
tional outbursts, over-
demands of self and others,
depression, hostility. In other
words, an excessive emotional
display of any sort.

Physical: Muscular tension,
high blood pressure, cold ex-
tremeties, headaches, di-
gestive problems, constipa-
tion, insomnia.

You may be a chronic stress
carrier and therefore not
familiar with a more relaxed
state: A series of isometric ex-
cercises will help you locate
areas of muscle tension.

Now that you know what to
look for, here's what you can
do to lessen stress in the
testing situation.

In general, take care of
yourself. There are many
forms of nourishment. Get
plenty of rest, exercise, eat
nourishing food, get a
massage.

Plan ahead. The easiest way
to be the most comfortable in,
or maybe even to enjoy, the
testing situation is to know
the material, right? Most peo-
ple enjoy performing when
they feel proficient to the task.

Break down tasks and make
a schedule of daily activities.
Be specific. Tackle your most
difficult subjects first.

Study in groups from two to
six people. Construct sample
questions for rehearsal.

Ask the professor what form
of test to expect. Reduce the
element of surprise within the
bounds of ethics.

Plan for intermittent periods
of relaxation / reward and
study. A guide to go by is:

Two hours of study for one
hour of television.

Read three chapters for a
10-minute walk.

Go over class notes; then
call a friend to discuss them.

Remind yourself that you
are being rewarded for good
work when you take your
break.

Set reasonable goals. If you
tell yourself the only way you
will be successful on this ex-
am is to face it, and you have
missed a week of notes and
have 15 chapters to read, you
aren't exaclty being realistic.
Don't give up, but don't lie to
yourself, either. Do the best
you can within the time allow-
ed, and remember the rest
when it comes time for finals.

If the situation feels un-
manageable, don't struggle
through it alone. Seek out the
comfort of friends; talk to your
adviser, enlist the aid of a car-
ing counselor. It makes good
sense to help yourself out with
the most appropriate and effi-
cient tools available.

Yale Professor Addresses "Work and Well-Being" Theme

by Debbie McLaughlin

Rosabeth Moss Kanter is
the professor of Sociology and
professor of Organization and
Management at Yale Universi-
ty. She addressed Ruth
Schmidt's inaugural theme,
"Work and Well-being" April 9
in Winter Theatre.

"One of my preoccupations
is not only with the impact
work of any kind has on peo-
ple's well-being, but how we
create conditions inside
organizations, large ones and
small ones, that provide the
feelings of efficacy, com-
petence, and mutual respect
that contribute to people's
well-being and work," Ms.
Kanter pointed out as the con-
trolling theme of her speech.

"The issue is not whether
one works, but the quality of
work one does. The psy-
chological well-being of peo-
ple who work is related to the
pleasure and mastery they
find in their jobs," she said.

Ms. Kanter brought out an
interesting fact. She stated,
"The kind of work parents do
is brought home to children in
the form of satisfaction or
frustration. If either parent has
a dull, repetitive, dead-end job
where he feels frustrated
because he is unable to ex-
press himself and master his
work, this is often brought
home in the form of fatigue
and punitive parental style."

Another interesting point
Ms. Kanter made was that peo-
ple experience stress more
from underload, too little
challenge, than from overload.
"In an overload situation, peo-
ple feel out of control because
they do not have the access
for mechanisms to cope and
ultimately feel somebody else
has the power," she said.

The professor discussed
four human issues that make
for high quality jobs in the
American society.

"First, people should find
meaning and purpose in their
work. As absurd as it may
seem, many times people work
and do not even know the pro-
duct they are manufacturing.
Respect and dignity, the idea
of being treated as an adult
person, are also simple human
courtesies that make a job
high quality," she said.

Ms. Kanter continued,
"Belonging, feeling part of a
group where people know who
you are, is a very important
factor in an organization. If
people know each other
socially, they work better."

As part of research for her
upcoming book Change
Masters that will be released
this fall, Ms. Kanter said, "I
discovered that companies,
who routinely stifle innovation
and have not been able to
adapt to new products or
organizational arrangements,
are places where people do
not know each other well
across departments and
where managers cannot
mobilize people quickly to
solve a problem."

The professor also talked
about a company's flexibility.

the need to respond to the
belonging of a whole person at
work and their demands out-
side of work. "Flexibility
usually exists at higher levels
and not lower levels. A com-
pany manager has more flex-
time than his workers. Many
companies today are set up
like a high school of the 1940's
or 1950's, where company peo-
ple cannot leave their station
until the bell rings," she said.

Ms. Kanter's husband, Barry
Stein, wrote an article concer-
ning the topic of work flexibili-
ty for a Bryn Mawr alumnae
magazine. "My husband
pointed out that, yes, it is
possible to combine work and
family very successfully and in

a fulfilling way; yet, this only
happens for people who are
successful, affluent, have con-
trol over their own work, and
are their own boss."

Ms. Kanter also addressed
larger issues rooted in the
structure of organizations that
make a difference in the quali-
ty of work life. Opportunity and
power are usually not within a
person's control on a daily
basis because they are rooted
within the designs of the
organizations themselves. Yet,
these elements offer some
sense of progress and growth
that does not necessarily
mean promotion.

"We think of success in
terms of upward mobility. This
is not what opportunity has to
mean. For some, it is the ex-
pansion of the position they
are in," the professor em-
phasized.

Opportunity can also mean
the sequence of problems and

Passage of Title IX did not
automatically and instantly
eliminate sexual discrimina-
tion in higher education.

As more and more women
are seeking college degrees,
and particularly in previously
male-dominated fields, more
and more complaints of ine-
quitable treatment are being
heard. Women complain that
they are not treated on an
equal footing with their male
counterparts, and they are un-
fairly discriminated against in
the classroom. Often, the
discriminating behavior is
unintentional, but many pro-
fessors consciously behave
differently with their female
students.

Complaints range from
women feeling that men are
called upon more frequently,
and listened to more intently,
to outright blatant sexual
jokes or inferences.

According to a report by the
Project on the Status and
Education of Women entitled

challenges, where more skill is
acquired as the problems and
challenges grow. "For the
most part, a person's being a
professional means getting
better at what he does
because he keeps getting new
problems, new challenges, yet
has the skills and sense of pro-
gress to overcome them."

Ms. Kanter relayed some in-
teresting facts about oppor-
tunity. "Differing from the
American society, Japan
calculates the rank of a person
in a company also by his
seniority. Floor sweepers with
high seniority are treated with
incredible respect," she
related.

Also, she pointed out that

opportunity often precedes an
ambition. For example, she ad-
ded, "President Gerald Ford
never wanted to run for presi-
dent until he was actually
president."

According to Ms. Kanter,
just as opportunity has an im-
pact on well-being, so does
power. "People who are seen
as powerful get more coopera-
tion and feel better about
themselves. Thus, these
powerful people treat others in
more democratic ways."

She continued, "It is the
powerless, people struggling
for respect and dignity, who
often turn to petty tyrannies,
become highly territorial, and
begrudge other people
pleasure. Powerlessness cor-
rupts."

Ms. Kanter sees her task as
a social scientist to expose
these above-mentioned
messages to organizations.

"The Classroom Climate: A
Chilly One for Women,"
women students are often not
treated as being as serious in
their studies as male students.
And the large majority of pro-
fessors being male, women
are not usually in a teaching
situation with someone of
their own gender who would
treat them on a more equal
level.

Part of the problem lies with
stereotypes that are hard, if
not sometimes impossible, to
dispel. Although women are
entering the job market in
record numbers, many men
are reluctant to consider them
as equals. Men are said to be
seeking careers, women are
often said to be seeking jobs.
The implied difference, of
course, is that women are
seeking work to fill their time
until they will quit at a future
date to a.) get married, b.) have
children, or c.) both.

Professors are criticized for
calling on male students more
in class and for interrupting

She explained, "I am able to
tell companies of the quality
of their work life and then
devices and programs that will
help the organizations to
become better ones."

Leaving the diverse au-
dience a final message, she

"My summer work in Lon-
don was the most satisfying
experience of my life. The
ability to work in a foreign
country allows one to become
part of the culture, as opposed
to merely observing it as a
tourist."

This was the assessment of
one student who participated
in the Work Abroad program
sponsored by the Council on
International Educational Ex-
change (CIEE), the largest stu-
dent travel organization in the
United States.

Now in its thirteenth year,
the Work Abroad program is
the only one of its kind
available in the U.S. It cuts
through the red tape to help
thousands of students obtain
temporary work in Great Bri-
tain, Ireland, France and New
Zealand. With the assistance
of the Council's cooperating
student organizations in each
country, participants discover
that finding a job abroad is no

women's answers during
discussion. According to the
report, this can have a
negative impact on future
classroom behavior since it
will tend to discourage
women's future participation,
destroy their confidence and
may even encourage some
students to drop classes.
Word spreads, and female
students try to avoid classes
where the professor has a
known reputation for ignoring
women's opinions and even
their presence.

concluded, "Realize that as an
individual person you are not

but in contact with a social

with your job, look for condi-
tions that are more
satisfying."

more difficult than at home.

Apart from a modest pro-
gram fee of $60, the only
significant cost to the student
is the airfare and even that
expense may be reduced by
special student and youth
fares available through the
Council.

The jobs are primarily un-
skilled in restaurants,
stores, and hotels but
salaries should more than
cover the cost of room and
board. Some participants save
enough money out of their ear-
nings to treat themselves to a
vacation once they stop work-
ing.

The program is limited to
students 18 years of age or
older. For more information

The project's report is
geared towards evaluating
classroom climate towards
women, and then helping
faculty members to modify
their behavior so as to create a
more equitably learning
climate. Women themselves
are encouraged to speak with
other women students when it
is obvious that a sexual bias
situation exists in their class,
and to speak with the pro-
fessor or department chair-
man if necessary to alleviate
the problem.

Respect and dignity are also simple
human courtesies that make a job high
quality.

Women Seek Equal
Classroom Treatment

MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1983

An Equal

by Tracey Veal

Smoking has become an
equal opportunity tragedy.
During the last 15 years, the
percentage of women smokers
has increased markedly. A
government survey in 1979
showed that 1.7 million
teenage girls and 1.6 million
boys are regular smokers. For
the first time, female smokers
outnumbered males.

For the first several decades
of the twentieth century,
cigarette smoking for women
was considered daring.

During the early 1900's
smoking was popular among
actresses and "women of the
streets" but was looked
down on by bourgeois society.
During the 1920's, flappers
rebelled against conventional
norms. By 1928, advertisers
had begun to play on women's
desires to be attractive and
glamorous. One of the most
famous ads urged women to
"reach for a cigarette instead
of a sweet." This association
between attractiveness (usual-
ly translated as slimness) and
smoking still pervades many
smoking advertisements to-
day.

In 1930, advertisers began
to use such personalities as
aviator Amelia Earhart to pro-
mote their brands. In 1932
Luckies ads portrayed men
and women in a romantic at-
mosphere smoking. These ads
broadened the appeal of
smoking to middle-class
women. In the thirties and for-
ties movie stars like Marlene
Dietrich and Greta Garbo
transformed smoking into a
sophisticated, seductive ac-
tivity for women of all ages.

Women smoked only about
five percent of all cigarettes

consumed in 1924. By 1964,
the Gallup report found that 51
percent were males and 32
percent females. Today, there
is an overall decline in smok-
ing, with one exception
rates of smoking among
females, particularly among
17 and 18 year-olds, are in-
creasing.

There are a number of
reasons for this increase. A re-
cent study by the National In-
stitution Education shows
that 91.6 percent of teenagers
who smoke believe it is harm-
ful. The fact that smoking is
risky may thus add to its ap-
peal especially its appeal to
teenage females. The female
teenager who smokes wants
to assert that she is no longer
a child and is not to be treated
as such. Some observers feel
that young women in their late
teens are more prone to the
curious connection between
smoking and sexuality.
Another reason may lie in the
fact that women smokers find
it more difficult to quit smok-
ing than men. But gaining
weight is not inevitable with
quitting smoking. There are no
overall connections between
the two. In fact, in a national
survey, one out of four ex-
smokers actually lose weight.
Whatever the reason, the fact
remains: More women, par-
ticularly in the younger age
groups, smoke than men.

It must also be noted that
smoking is a double hazzard
for women for them and the
children they bear. Docu-
mented in the Surgeon
General's report is evidence

that smoking while pregnant
affects the unborn fetus.
Cigarette smoking in the
mother's bloodstream alters

Tragedy

the heart rate, blood pressure,
oxygen supply and acid
balance of the unborn infant.
Pregnant women who smoke
have more stillbirths, miscar-
riages, and low-birthweight
babies than do non-smoking
mothers.

Another disturbing finding
is that even when women quit
smoking before pregnancy,
their past smoking may still
damage the fetus. Although
some studies indicate there
are no special risks involved if
a woman quits smoking early
in pregnancy, one 10-year
study, still under way by the
National Institute of Health
suggests the effects of smok-
ing on a woman's child bear-
ing functions may last for
some time, long after she has
stopped.

The 1980 Surgeon General
Report concludes that adult

women are just not beginning
to quit smoking at rates com-

showed that female relativees

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is . . .?

Jennifer Shelton, Maggie Taylor, and Cama Bosiey sun what
they can before 2:10 class.

Do you have time enough for
classes?

Lack of time seems to be a
common gripe among
students. Having too little
time for love is bad enough,
but when you have to budget
time for everything else, it gets
to be a drag.

But just as the situation
starts to look and feel
hopeless, help is on the way.
When you find yourself
swamped with things to do
and not enough hours in the
day to do them in, try time
management.

A college counselor says:
Start out by making a "Do
List." It may be weekly or daily
but should contain a list of all
the things you have to do dur-
ing that week or day. "You
should put down everything
you want to accomplish, in-
cluding things like reading a
biology chapter," she says.

After making the Do List,
you should arrange the items
in order of priority by
designating A, B, and C next to
each entry.

"A" items are things that
have to be done first because
of deadlines. "B" items are
things you would like to get
done, and "C" things are
things you could put off, like
writing letters.

Then divide your week or
day into time blocks and
allocate time for tasks you
plan to accomplish that day.
Don't schedule the A items at
the end of the day, because
unplanned things happen. At
the end of each day, people
should cross off completed
entries. 'There's a sense of
satisfaction in crossing off
things on the list, kind of like a
reward."

It's important to have ade-
quate space of your own when
you try to get something done
preferably a place where
you won't be interrupted. "This
is particularly a problem in
dorms when people constantly
come in to talk."

Tell people to come back

later, if the interruption per-
sist, to go to the library where
you won't be disturbed. It's im-
portant that your thoughts be
kept on the task at hand, or the
time allotted won't be used ef-
ficiently.

People should recognize
what time of the day they func-
tion best morning, mid-
afternoon, late at night and
schedule the tasks that re-
quire the greatest concentra-
tion at that time period.

The harder tasks should be
done when you have lots of
energy. Think about what
you're going to do before you
do it to get your mind men-
tally alert and not running in
several different directions.

Coffee breaks are good.
Research shows that people
work more efficiently when
they take breaks. They help
people work more energetical-
ly and use their time more ef-
fectively, she says.

Use a coffee break as a
reward for completing a task.

Snack after finishing a chapter
as a reward. Time breaks so
you don't lose track of their
schedule.

Change is also important in
time management. When you
start to lose interest in one
subject, or if your mind starts
to wander, switch subjects.
This may help your mind to
become alert again, without
taking breaks every hour.

It's important to remember
that you don't always have to
be doing something people
should allow time for thinking
about problems and possible
solutions, and generating for
future projects.

You shouldn't try to do
everything at once, or you
might get discouraged. Do one
thing you're not doing now,
when that's part of your
lifestyle add another, and so
on. Most important, don't
forget to reward yourself for
goals completed that day.

Professional dance
designer Betsy Blair, who
graduated from Agnes Scott
in 1973, returned February
20-22 to recreate one of her
pieces, Dolls, for the Agnes
Scott Studio Dance Theatre.
While on campus she re-
flected on her career and the
changes in the dance program
at Agnes Scott.

An English-Creative Writing
major, Ms. Blair was a junior
when Professor Marilyn Darl-
ing arrived as the new dance
instructor. Ms. Blair says,
"That was a year of transition
for the dance program." Ms.
Darling brought a more in-
depth understanding of the
various body techniques in
modern dance and ballet and
encouraged a professional
production attitude from the
company. Ms. Blair feels she
learned a great deal from Ms.
Darling, who allowed her to
choreograph freely.

After graduating from
Agnes Scott, Betsy Blair went
to work in a library, but her
heart was in dance. She was
invited to teach dance at the
Durham Arts Council, and
decided to try making her liv-
ing as an artist. Since then she
has taught dance in various
art programs, including an in-
novative multi-arts curriculum

The Independent Feature
Showcase, an expansion of
the 7th Atlanta Independent
Film and Video Festival, opens
on April 20 at Georgia State
University with the Atlanta
premieres of seven feature
films.

Screenings throughout the
week include Chicken Ranch
by Sandi Sissel and Nick
Broomfield, Reporters by Ray-
mond Depardon, The Dozens
by Christine Dall and Randall
Conrad, Dark Circle by Judy Ir-
ving, Chris Beaver and Ruth
Landy, and Vernon, Florida by
Errol Morris.

Also featured with the
showcase are Daughter Rite
and Mother Right, two works
by filmmaker Michelle Citron.

The Alliance Theatre crowns
its 1982-83 season with
William Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night, from April 6
through May 1. "O spirit of
love, how quick and fresh art
thou!" exclaims Orsino early
in the play; the spirit of love
pervades this last and most
highly esteemed of the Bard's
immortal comedies.

The plot is full of charming
parallels and intricacies. The
story concerns a young
woman (Viola), who disguises
herself as a man after being
shipwrecked off the coast of II-
lyria. Illyria is ruled by a Duke
(Orsino), who desperately
loves a neighboring Countess
(Olivia). Olivia, however, has
shut herself off from the world,
grieving for her dead brother.
Viola, disguished as Cesario,
becomes a page to the Duke
and is sent to woo Olivia for

she helped design at Meredith
College in Raleigh, N.C.

Ms. Blair founded the Easy
Moving Company in 1975, then
resigned as artistic director in
1979 to study at NC State
University's School of Design.
Graduating in 1982 with an
M.A., Ms. Blair's master's
thesis defined the role of
Dance Designer and outlined
methods for the use of a flexi-
ble video-graphic system of
recreating dances.

Her recreation of Dolls at
Agnes Scott is a direct ap-
plication of these methods.
She used a combination of
video tape and graphic
designs to teach the dance. "I
am pleased to have the move-
ment catalogued in this way
so that I can really have the
time and attention to work per-
sonally with each dancer
rather than spending time and
mutual energy trying to retain
all the dance phrases," ex-
plains Ms. Blair. Dolls will be
performed by SDT at their
spring concert on April 28-29.

Ms. Blair is presently direc-
tor of the Rainbow Company,
an innovative neighborhood
dance program. Children and
senior adults are both integral
parts of the company, and Ms.
Blair creatively uses both in
the works presented by the
Rainbow Company. She also
has an educational television

Ms. Citron will be present on
Thursday, April 21, at 8 pm to
discuss her films.

All screenings are free and
open to the public and will
take place in Room 602,
Business Administration
Building at Georgia State
University.

The Showcase and the
AIFVF are sponsored by IM-
AGE Film/Video Center, in
association with the High
Museum of Art and in coopera-
tion with Georgia State Univer-
sity's Lyceum Film Series. The
Showcase was curated by

him. But Olivia falls in love
with Cesario/Viola, who has
fallen in love with the Duke
herself! Further comic com-
plications are provided by the
rest of Olivia's household: her
uncle, Sir Toby Belch and his
friend Sir Andrew Aguecheek,
who also wants to woo Olivia;
her pretentious steward
Malvilio, and her outspoken
maid Maria. Feste, the clown,
provides ironic commentary
throughout. The appearance
of Viola's brother Sebastian
(whom she thought drowned in
the shipwreck) enables the
tangled threads of this plot to
unravel and reweave in more
orderly, happier fashion. In
love with the impossible, the
characters in this most mature
of Shakespeare's comedies
find happiness only when they
learn to love the possible.
Director Kent Stephens (the

program in Raleigh about
dance which is geared to
children.

Reflecting on the present
state of dance here Ms. Blair
says, "Agnes Scott is a unique
place for intelligent dancers."
Of Ms. Darling she observes,
"she has created a community
of learning people. She has
built a very good base for a
dance program. I am amazed
at the quality of the dancing
and the time they put into their
work. They are performing as
much as any non-professional
dancer can."

Betsy Blair continues to
work on her unique system of
programming her choreo-
graphy, and plans to obtain a
copyright. As a professional
artist, she feels she is a com-
municator, and dance is the
connector to the people. While
life as a professional dancer
may not always be materially
overwhelming, Ms. Blair is
making a living and living ex-
uberantly. Studio Dance
Theatre looks forward to her
return to campus.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

PAGE 7

The Complexities Of Cinderella Saddles Blaze

by Laurie McBrayer

In her bestseller, The
Cinderella Complex, Colette
Dowling reveals her discovery
that "the psychological need
to avoid independence the
'wish to be saved' is quite
probably the most important
issue facing women today."
She said she wondered "How
many women might be suffer-
ing in silent confusion?"
Therefore, she formulated the
thesis which she calls The
Cinderella Complex. To define
this complex she explains:
". . . personal, psychological
dependency - the deep wish to
be taken care of by others - is
the chief force holding women
down today . . . Like
Cinderella, women today are
still waiting for something ex-
ternal to transform their lives."
Dowling says that the
Cinderella Complex used to ef-
fect 16 or 17 year-old girls, but
that now college graduates
are the victims. "When the
first thrill of freedom subsides
and anxiety rises to take its
place, they begin to be tugged
by that old yearning for safety:
the wish to be saved." Dowling
says that many women see
marriage as an escape from
responsibility.

To see why women have a
fear of independence, Dowling
studied the subject of adoles-
cent girls and the methods
their parents used to raise
them. Dowling maintains that
"Childhood is where the
problem begins." She said she
discovered a "connection
between our feminine urge
toward domesticity and those
lulling reveries about
childhood which seem to lie
just beneath the surface of
consciousness." She explains
that a woman's need to be
dependent and sheltered from
danger stems from childhood.
She says that "females are not
taught to be assertive and in-
dependent." Boys, on the
other hand, are taught to be in-
dependent from the day of
birth, she says. And, Dowling
points out that the way
"women conduct and feel
about themselves in relation
to how they were taught to
behave and encouraged to feel
as children . . . has changed
very little in the past 20 years."

Dowling reports a nursery
school scene where the girls
serve the boys. She says that
the girls learn "an ancient
trade-off waiting on the
master in exchange for being
protected." One interesting
study reveals that parents
perceive a male infant's crying
as anger and a female infant's
crying as fear. Another exam-
ple that Dowling provides is
the different parental
response to female and male
infants who fall after at-
tempting to walk. A mother
will be encouraging if her son
falls, but if her daughter falls,
she will feel panic and guilt.
Dowling explains this dif-
ference in attitude: "This is
the point at which parents
begin inculcating their small
daughters with the idea that
so far as risk-taking and the
evaluation of their own safety

are concerned, they should
not trust themselves." Dowl-
ing says that self-trust is a
necessity to develop in-
dependence. One reason girls
do not develop confidence is
that "Little girls do not get the
chance to self-correct."

Dowling did a lot of
research for her book and she
includes findings by several
well-known female psy-
chologists. When girls reach
puberty, they experience a
"crisis in femininity," ac-
cording to Judith Bardwick,
author of The Psychology of
Women and Elizabeth Douvan,
author of The Adolescent Ex-
perience. As an adolescent,
the girl becomes aware of the
dependence / independence
conflict and learns how to
behave around men (i.e. don't
be competitive). The aforemen-
tioned psychologists indicate
that girls will be "rewarded for
. . . 'success' with boys." In
terms of school work, girls
tend to be less competitive
than boys and experience
much more test anxiety. Dowl-
ing reveals that "girls
especially smarter ones
have severe problems in the
area of self-confidence. They
consistently under-estimate
their own ability." Dowling
reports that one study in-
dicates that the smarter the
girl is, "the less expectation
she has of being successful at
intellectual tasks."

The attitude of the mother
influences the daughter in her
development: "Having a
resentful mother tends to pro-
duce one of three char-
acteristic patterns in
daughters . . . low-grade
depression, insecurity (in
feminine identity) and hidden
dependency."

After the adolescent period,
Dowling reports that women
experience some of the follow-
ing phases of syndromes all
related to the Cinderella Com-
plex. One syndrome is the
"girl-child," the description of
a woman who may have hid-
den behind on older brother as
she grew up. Other women
behave as "Daddy's little girl,"
when they cry because they

don't get what they want or
behave in a cute or seductive
manner for ulterior purposes.
(How many of us have not
heard of a woman crying to an
officer because he gave her a
speeding ticket?) A "Go-along
Jane" does not pursue in-
dependence or authority. In-
stead, she just "goes along for
the ride in the man's world."
The "good girl" syndrome
refers to women who "keep
themselves restricted;" they
are exceptionally dependent
and "feel weak." Women who
are perfectly complacent in
their roles as wives and
mothers represent the "good
woman" syndrome. Dowling
describes these syndromes
with greater detail and ex-
amples.

Dowling also addresses a
popular topic which she calls
the "multi-role solution."
Acting as wife, mother, and
worker is a difficult job,
especially for women whose
husbands do not aid in
domestic duties. Dowling in-
terviewed one woman who
revealed her conflicts: "My
husband is happy we can still
go out to dinner once a week
due to my salary ... but before
we were hit by this monstrous
inflation he used to drop these
little remarks about the
messiness of the house and
how my working affected the
kids." The main frustration
these women face is fatigue.
Dowling explains that Gender
Panic, which she defines as
the "fear that independent
behavior is nonfeminine,"
keeps women in low-level jobs
or work they've outgrown, and
keeps them overextended at
home."

In her concluding chapter,
Springing Free, Dowling is
able to effectively describe the
transition women need to
make to achieve inde-
pendence. She says that to
discover freedom and in-
dependence, a woman must
love herself and develop these
characteristics from within.
Her book ends with a sense of
hope that the fear of in-
dependence can be mitigated.

I recommend this book to
faculty, staff, students, and
parents, whether male or
female.

New Sport Adds Color To Spring Quarter

by Caroline Bleke

Each season of the
academic year is enhanced by
one or more sports that in-
crease personal well being,
both mentally and physically.
There is one "sport," however,
that has long been neglected.
This activity requires neither
aerobic endurance, muscle
mass, nor flexibility. Paradox-
ically, the body must be in top
form in order for the sport to
be effectively "played" and ap-
preciated. Yes, sports en-
thusiasts, I am talking about
sun bathing.

As the weather warms up
each winter term (55-60
degrees constitutes accep-
table winter tanning weather),
young lovelies are seen
carting their lounge chairs and
"husbands" to the top of the
Hub. This is the arena of hard
core tanning buffs. Classes
and even mandatory convoca-
tions are pooh-poohed by
those intent upon bronzing
their bodies.

Agnes Scott, as well as
other women's colleges, is in
the position of trying to define
her individual category of tan-

ning. Coed schools consider
tanning a spectator, and some
even a contact, sport. The role
of tanning at a women's col-
lege, however, is long-
reaching. Immediate benefits
are geared more towards the
individual rather than towards
the masses. One cannot ig-
nore the pleasing effects of a
sunny, healthy face upon that
special someone or anyone,
though, and, thus, tanning
does reach beyond our own
Decatur campus.

Great concentration and
care go into this sport. As any
pro can, and will, tell you, the
difference between a glowing
warm skin and extra crispy
sunburned epidermis is com-
mon sense and proper tanning
materials. Too often the fair
skinned woman will try to rec-
tify her "pale face" with the in-
famous "tan-in-one-day" pro-
gram. Be sensible and safe.
Remember, too, that the tan
you have today may be the
wrinkle you find tomorrow.

Armstrong State Ekes
by Agnes Scott

by Mary MacKinnon

Playing on a rather windy
Sunday afternoon, Agnes
Scott's tennis team lost its
match with the Armstrong Col-
lege tennis team from Savan-
nah, Georgia. The final score
was five sets to four. In the
singles division Virginia
Bouldin won her match with
two set tie breakers, and Tam-
my Jenkins won her match in
three sets. The doubles team
of Sue Feese and Virginia
Bouldin, Amy Puckett and
Sara bell, both won matches in
two sets.

Senior Virginia Bouldin had
an exceptional day, winning
both of her matches. "I feel
great. This is the first time I've
won a tie breaker." Agnes
Scott tennis coach JoAnn
Messick commented that
Virginia's playing is "cool and
confident. She has great sport-
smanship; her respect for her
opponent is evident." Virginia
played her games during this
match to the limit, the playing
time lasting up to three and

one half hours. "Even with a
player who is more powerful,
Virginia will stay in there for
as long as it takes," added Ms.
Messick. In addition, Virginia's
skill is excellent, and her
leadership on the team is a
plus. According to Ms.
Messick, "her positive attitude
has filtered down through the
team."

Overall, Ms. Messick was
pleased with the tennis team's
performance in the match.
"Their playing keeps getting
better." In approximately two
weeks, the team will be
challenged with the state ten-
nis tournament.

The campus community is
encouraged to attend all of
Agnes Scott's upcoming ten-
nis tournament. Go out and
see players such as Virginia
Bouldin hit 20 balls in a row;
watch volleys and lobs excep-
tionally executed; witness
powerful serves. A great ten-
nis team needs the support of
the college that it represents!

Studio Dance Theater has

preparation of the perform-
ance for the President's in-
auguration last week, re-
hearsals continue for the up-
coming spring concert on April
28 and 29. In addition, a
demonstration of a modern
dance technique class was
given by the dance company
for the prospective students
during a program called "Slice
of Life" for this year's
Kaleidoscope.

Betsy Blair, a 1973 ASC
graduate who is now a dance
designer, recently wrote Presi-
dent Schmidt a letter express-
ing her delight in having seen
the growth and progress of
Studio Dance Theater in the
past ten years since her
graduation from Agnes Scott.
"My experience at Agnes
Scott," she stated, "reaffirms
what I have felt for a long time:
that dance can be the vehicle
for the brightest flowering of
our total intellectual, emo-
tional, and spiritual being."
She went on to state her sup-
port and encouragement of

the dance program at Agnes
Scott. "Dance can be a way of
creating community and of ex-
pressing the most meaningful
events of life," according to
Ms. Blair.

The Agnes Scott Profile

Vol. 69, iVo. 18 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Ga, April 25, 1983

1983 Phi Beta Kappa Elected

by Colleen O'Neill

Dean Carol Thigpin of
Emory University delivered the
address at the Phi Beta Kappa
convocation held on April 13,
1983. Dean Thigpin partic-
pated in the "Women and
Mindpower" symposium held
at Agnes Scott last year and
returned to campus by popular
request.

After dedicating her ad-
dress to an aunt who
graduated from Agnes Scott,
Dean Thigpin proceeded to
discuss the liberal arts struc-

ture in a speech entitled "Cur-
riculum: Monasteries and
Ghettos."

"What is a liberal arts cur-
riculum all about?", Dean
Thigpin first asked herself.
While planning this speech,
she took a walk around her
own campus, passing classes
in medicine, English, French,
Latin, art and theology, an-
thropology, psychology and
chemistry. All are part of a
multi-faceted liberal arts col-
lege; "I felt a sense of order
the University is in its place."

Students today, she feels,
are very concerned with the

"utility of a course or a
major." They attend career
planning workshops and have
set objectives, goals, and
twenty-year plans.

During the 1960's, the stu-
dent Carol Thigpin and her
classmates were concerned
with the "relevance of a
course of study." Yet most
1983 students feel that "one
has to be more realistic."
Maybe, Dean Thigpin feared,
the liberal arts curriculum is
on the wrong track.

Recalling her own college
days, Dean Thigpin reminisc-

ed about a summer she spent
teaching in New York City. She
went from the world of the
liberal arts to the world of the
ghetto. Here, "life was a
chaotic, frantic activity of sur-
vival or lethargic endurance."

While working in the ghetto,
Dean Thigpin went to a
restored monastery for a
medieval art show. In the
peaceful cloister, she listened
to the sonorous voice of a
learned monk and gazed at the
beauty of the carved ivory
crucifix of Bury St. Edmonds.
"The ghetto and the
monastery both evoked power-
ful responses," but Dean
Thigpin was not sure how they
were related to one another or
to her liberal arts education.

At the home of one of her
ghetto students, Dean Thigpin
realized how all of the dif-
ferent words to which she had
been exposed were inter-
woven. Dean Thigpen observ-
ed the struggle of the
student's elegant, urbane
mother to maintain gentleness
in the ghetto. The two women
reminisced about their rural
Southern childhoods; "there
was a tempo and order and
serenity about that life,"

recalls Dean Thigpin. The
black woman had preserved
that peace in the ghetto. Dean
Thigpin began to realize that
"the ghetto, the monastery,
and the liberal arts curriculum
are not in opposition, but
pieces of the same fragment
of human experience."

Dean Thigpin concluded
that despite of the yearnings
of her generation for relevance
and of contemporary youth for
utility, the liberal arts
persevere because they em-
brace the fragments of
historic human endeavor and
add texture and richness to
life.

At the convocation's end,
Doctor John Gignilliat,
Secretary of the Beta of
Georgia Chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa, announced the new
members of Phi Beta Kappa.
Elected from the class of 1983
were Beverly Ellen Bell, Amy
Susan Craddock, Pamela Ruth
DeRuiter, Elizabeth Ann
Gilreath, Carolyn Rose Good-
man, Brenda Gayle Kltson,
Cecily Lane Langford, Patricia
Lee Ann Leathers, Amy Irene
Mortenson, Elizabeth Ruth
Smith, Susan Ann Sowell, and
Charlotte Francis Wright.

Getting Over the
Initial Hurdle

The marketability of a
liberal arts major is lower than
that of a more specialized or
technical major when the
graduate first enters the job
market. This unfortunate reali-
ty has been addressed by
Agnes Scott College and the
Career Planning office in
specific. The most helpful pro-
gram recently established to
address this reality was the
formalized internship pro-
gram. In 1981, Valerie Hepburn
of the class of 1983, con-
ducted a Business Internship
Feasibility Study which in-
structed the internship pro-
gram we now enjoy. Ms. Hep-
burn interviewed Atlanta-area
employers in both business
and industry to determine the
effectiveness of an internship
program in these areas. The
reaction she received was
positive. However, the reac-
tion also articulated the pro-
blem of initial placement of
the liberal arts major.

Ms. Hepburn said in her
report, "Liberal arts graduates
were excellent in business
after they had moved into mid-
dle management positions,
but the problem lay in getting
them over the 'initial hurdle'."

'Getting over the initial hur-
dle' is facilitated by the intern
experience. Valerie continued
by stating, "... the majority of
business thought they (the in-
ternships) were an excellent
learning device for a student,
as well as a recruitment device
for a company. Businesses
also said that they were more
willing to hire a graduate with
internship experience,
whether it be in their company
or in another, than a graduate
without that experience."

The advantages of an intern-
ship program are not only a
strong recommendation but
an imperative aid in securing a
job, once graduated in this
highly competitive market.
With the program's obvious
advantages it has entertained
a limited success. In the
school year 1980-81, nineteen
students took advantage of
this program. In the year
1981-82 the number rose to 32.
Although there has been an in-
crease, it is obvious that the
majority of the campus is not
making use of this most
essential tool in marketing the
liberal arts major. The ques-
tion I put forth to the student
body is, Why?

The Beauty Coma:

an opinionated
look at style

by Robin Perry

"Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah"
D. Bowie, "Ziggy Stardust"

Bowie's always been
precocious. Even when he
wore platform shoes like
everyone else, his motives
were different. He was playing
Blitz in 1972, when that word
was only a slang euphemism
for a German war strategy
which killed thousands of peo-
ple, and also the name of my
grandma's Irish Setter. The
contemporary defintion of
Blitz (that's the word for it, yes)
is a little more difficult to pin-
point, but I'll give you some im-
pressions.

Number one, you have to
look cool (tie something
around your head, ok?).
Number two, clothes have to
be, like, your main concern.
It's hard to describe, actually,
but drop by Lenox Square
some Saturday afternoon. All
kinds of people in a hurry
(why?) in their little metallic
shoes. A sort of blurry, soggy,
Californized version of our
topic phenomenon, but I think
you know what I mean.
Number three, it is necessary
to primp to maintain your look;
also, it is muy importante that
others observe you and your
manifest sense of taste. No
life in the woods for you.
Number four, you must use
phrases in conversation that
typically suggest the mentali-
ty of a carp with its head in a
funnel.

I'm thinking about retract-
ing the shoe criticism. Actual-
ly it's kind of nice seeing peo-
ple walk around in decent
footwear after so many years
of simulated wooden plat-
forms (in which the majority of
female feet in Gene Autry,
Oklahoma are still clad, much
to my dismay). It's not the
shoes I really want to com-
plain about (although, from all
appearance, some generous
manufacturer gave out free
samples). No, no, it's the at-
titude of the wearer that
makes my skin crawl.

What is style, anyway? Is
style a fad? The mall people
look like they jumped, fully
dressed, straight from the
pages of Vogue. Hey, now
there are advertisements
where you can send away for a

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

complete suit; just put an X in
the box beside what you want
to be: ska, rockabilly, new
wave, or Johnny Rotten. Is
style the -ultimate peer
pressure?

The ancient Chinese mangl-
ed their daughters' feet, ac-
tually deformed them into
their idea of beauty. The
Flathead Indians had a similar
idea: they squeezed their in-
fants' soft skulls against a
board until their heads were
sufficiently flattened to be
considered attractive. Imagine
how the Mound Indian women
suffered, stretching their
earlobes up to a foot in
diameter around huge stone
spools; think of Scarlett
O'Hara's agony, trying to
dance (much less breathe) in
that whalebone corset.
Remember the Romanticists?
Well, they thought melon-
cholia was the sign of God's
presence in man, so they pass-
ed their days in mental torture,
sure of divinity. Bowie's right.
This is all in our HEADS.

I mean, you walk through
some dark little downtown
club, and it's like a video pro-
ducer's nightmare. Like pass-
ing through a clone herd; row
after row of sneers, and people
kicking your shins with their
pointy shoes, 'cos it's cool to
be cruel. Then there's the ac-
tual video flashing on the
screen (which impressionable
college students tend to
regard God's sitcom):
"Rockabilly Romance" and
"Ska Romance," etc., and you
want to know the plot? Ten
minutes of two flashy-looking
kids primping. The guy teases
up his hair and does his
makeup, and the girl puts on
twelve or a hundred crinoline
skirts and spins around. You
may well ask, for what are they
getting ready? A romance,
right? Well, in the last eight
seconds they kinda kiss, but
it's a fake; they don't want to
smudge their lips, if you ask
me.

Zooman accuses this whole
NEW WAVE of sixties revamp,
and I think he's got his ducks
in a row, yeah. Hippy nouveau.
Social, political, and
economic instability express-
ed through music (remember
folk music?) clothes, and hair.
O America, great land of
Xerox.

New Music is the voice of
this Blitz cult. You could even
say this is our society's
poetry. Fine. But the problem
(to paraphase David Lee Roth,

of that most poetic band, Van
Halen) is that very few people
listen to this music because
they really like it; rather, they
listen to it because they think
the people who listen to it are
COOL. I cite for my example
the fourteen year'olds and
those T.V. video-dance shows:
they scream just as loud as
AC/DC as for Mr. Bowie. No
taste. No discernment. No
thought process. Just pose. O
mal du siecle.

"Think for yourself!"

Why do you suppose all
those cool clothes have such
exorbitant price tags? I'll tell
you why: because you don't
just pay for the material, you
pay for the labor for
somebody else to do your
thinking for you. Why do we
pay all this money to go to col-
lege, if it's not to learn to think

for ourselves? Capitalism,
mes amis, is the communism
of VANITY.

As my mother says, "You
can't buy style!" Indeed, style
doesn't hang on a rack. Style
has something to do with in-
telligence, with self-
confidence, and with in-
dividuality. Henry James gave
this advice: "Don't melt too
much into the universe, but be
as solid and dense and fixed
as you can." Bowie's a good
example of a man with style.
He is his own category.

Coolness has a lot in com-
mon with insanity. (1) People
who aspire to it have no other
means of self-definition and (2)
it's a big waste of time. What
exactly is so all-fired cool
about attempting to be like
everyone else, thinking about
how you look all the time, and
pretending you left your fron-
tal lobe at home in the closet?
Coolness is the easy way out.
Style is not.

Ah, Vanitas Vanitatum!
(Here's to you, Mr. Thackeray).
Our world, as the cool (ahem)
mags say, is blitzed. Oh yeah.

Rep Rap

by Helen Stacey

Lat week's Rap Rap urged visitors to attend Rep Council
meetings, Judging from the April 19th meeting of Rep Coun-
cil, those words were not written in vain. Rep wishes to ex*
press their appreciation for ail who attended, and to welcome
everyone to this week's meeting. Among the visitors present,
President Schmidt was perhaps the most visible as she sat at
the head of the Rep Council table discussing various issues*

First on the agenda was a request for Rep's collaboration
on two special issues. The first of these entails a convocation
addressing the topic of inclusive language to be held this
Wednesday, April 27. As many people know, there has been a
certain amount of controversy over the school hymn, "God of
the Marching Centuries." Designed to clarify any misinforma-
tion about the recent changes, this convocation will present
several diverse viewpoints on the importance of inclusive
language. In addition, President Schmidt relayed to Rep
Council her interest in Agnes Scott's establishing some form
of contact with Spelman College. Both schools embody
similar ideals, and thus communication between the two
would undoubtedly prove valuable. Rep agreed that contacts
with Spelman would be beneficial, and is going to investigate
the best means of establishing such a relationship.

Once the floor was opened for questions, President
Schmidt revealed information on several very interesting
topics. She elaborated on the need for heightened awareness
of the amount of energy used at Agnes Scott. Currently Rep is
working on an energy awareness week to be held in the fall, in
addition, President Schmidt discussed efforts to acquire
more expertise on the physical plant staff (i.e., an on-campus
plumber and electrician). Finally, she announced two of the
issues to which the Channels of Creativity committee assign-
ed a high priority. First, they decided to fund a year-long
multi-cultural awareness symposium to the tune of $5,000.
And, they recommended that a day-care center for the Agnes
Scott community be seriously investigated,

After President Schmidt left, Rep proceeded with the
business on its agenda. Among the issues voted on was a re*
quest by Profile editor Rachel McConnell to increase the
newspaper's spring allotment by $662. Due to Inflation, prin-
ting costs have risen 15%. Rep voted to increase the Profile's
budget.

Rep also approved the amended Article IV of the SGA by-
laws, stipulating the procedures by which an organization is
approved or suspended. In essence, the amendments place
the Administrative Committee in an advisory capacity, leav-
ing the final vote fo approval / non-approval to the decision of
Rep Council. Administrative Committee will vote on the
amended by-laws at their next meeting.

A final item of importance concerns the modifications of
SGA elections procedure. Susan Whitten, the former presi-
dent of Mortar Board, explained the inadequacies of the cur-
rent system. Susan and Sue Feese have drawn up a modified
election procedure; this proposal is posted on the Rep Rap
board. Basically, the most fundamental change consists of
relieving the SGA secretary of responsibility for elections, in-
stead, an Elections Board comprised of two seniors from
Rep Council and two members of Mortar Board will run the
I elections. This proposal, which will be voted on at the week's
meeting, will provide an impartial, efficient means of holding
elections. Anyone who has any comments on the new elec-
tions procedures (or any other Rep business) is encouraged
to come to the meeting and voice the ir opinio ns.

Patierno Elected GSA President

On Sunday, April 17, 1983,
the Georgia' Student Associa-
tion (GSA) elected its Board of
Directors for the 1983-84 year.
Nancy Patierno, currently a
sophomore at Agnes Scott, is
the new president of GSA.
Representing Agnes Scott on
the Board of Directors will be
Helen Stacey, SGA vice-
president.

When asked to comment on
the elections, former GSA
President Jeanie L. Morris
said, "GSA has almost doubl-
ed its size this year and has
established political credibili-
ty. I'm happy to see that both
the new board and officers are
dedicated and have the desire
to continue to grow." GSA is in
its fourth year of existence;
currently it represents approx-
imately 90,000 students.

Course Selection Week

Course -Selection Week wiiJ take place May 3-6 for
freshmen and Juniors, and May 3-10 for sophomores. In-
structions for course selection week wiH be given at class
meetings on Monday, May 2, at 11:30 a.m. The freshman
class wli\ meet in Maclean Auditorium, the sophomores in
the Winter Theatre in Dana, and the juniors in Gaines
Chapel.

All students who are planning to return next fall are ex-
pected to attend their class meetings. Unclassified
students should attend the freshman meeting.

Ugly Men Fare Better

Sobering Up Students a Problem

Alcohol abuse is not just a
subject for public service
television commercials. It is a
real problem at colleges and
universities across the coun-
try.

An increasing number of
alcohol-related accidents have
alerted school officials to the
problem. A Vermont student
broke her back in a fall recent-
ly at a party. Auto accidents in-
volving college students are
often episodes of drunken
driving, sometimes with tragic
results.

Students drink for a variety
of reasons. Peer pressure has
a big influence on many
students. Social drinking is

often carried to excess at par-
ties both on and off-campus.
Many students drink as a
result of academic stress or
fear of flunking out. And worry-
ing about competition in the
job market is a reason many
students give for their drink-
ing.

Whatever the cause, cam-
pus officials are trying to
crack down on drinking by en-
forcing campus alcohol rules.

Not only do they hope to
stem alcohol-related ac-
cidents, but also to help curb
campus vandalism, a great
deal of which is believed to be
caused by drunk students.

Many schools are now offer-

ing alcohol education pro-
grams. BACCHUS (Boost
Alcohol Consciousness Con-
cerning the Health of Universi-
ty Students) has 75 campus
chapters in 33 states. But not
all students are willing to
listen to dire warnings of the
effects of alcoholism. They
consider drinking fun and a
harmless way to vent col-
legiate frustrations. It's this
attitude that college officials
are having trouble fighting
against.

Ugly men have better jobs
and better educated wives
than good-looking men, a new
survey says.

The survey found that looks
have no effect on income, but
in other areas, attractiveness
in men hinders gains in status.

The survey was done by
University of North Carolina
researchers.

The least-attractive men
have the most education and
their occupational status is
higher on the job classifica-
tion scale the researchers
found. The survey showed that
uglier men performed better at
school and had sexual rela-
tions at a later age than the
better-looking counterparts.

However, the survey said
that "outstandingly" good
looking men attain jobs of
equal prestige as those of the
least attractive.

The survey also found that a
woman's attractiveness was

not related to education, oc-
cupation, or personal income.
Nevertheless, there was con-
siderable evidence that
feminine attractiveness af-
fects the adult status through
marriage to a high-income
husband.

The survey said that the
more attractive the woman,
the better educated her hus-
band. The opposite was true
for men.

There was no correlation
between a woman's looks and
her school performance or
adolescent sexual activity, ac-
cording to the survey.

The study used data from a
survey in 1970 of 601 men and
745 women. That survey
followed up a study of men
and women who were first
questioned in 1955, during
their sophomore year in high
school. Research assistants
then rated the respondent's
looks, using high school pic-
tures.

Alumnae from 1899 to 1982
visited the campus April 15-17
for the annual Alumnae
Weekend. Many events were
scheduled including the Alum-
nae Parade down Buttrick
Drive to the Amphitheater. Led
by a bagpipe player, President
Schmidt and the 50th reunion
class of 1933 headed up the
parade. Agnes Scott student
marshals carried reunion year
signs while members of each
class carried their class ban-
ner and marched behind.

The reunion year classes
were 1933, 1938, 1943, 1948,
1953, 1958, 1963, 1968, 1973,
1978 and 1982. Included
among those participating in
the parade were several
members of the Agnes Scott
faculty and administration:
Bertie Bond '53, Gue Hudson

'68, Mary Kay Jarboe '68, Judy
Tindel 73 and Susan Connell
78.

Following this event, the
alumnae and their families
lunched on the edge of the
hockey field which was dotted
with bright-colored balloons.
Recognized at the luncheon
were several outstanding
alumnae and retired pro-
fessors.

Specially noted guests this
weekend were the class of
1933, the new members of the
Fifty Year Club (for all alum-
nae who graduated 50 or more
years ago). Approximately 150
members of this club and their
friends were recognized with a
special dinner Friday evening.

Among the "Stars of the
Show" was Annie Wiley
Preston '99, the oldest living
alumna. Saturday afternoon,
the Fifty Year Club was again
honored by an open house at
the President's home. For
these special events alumnae
came from as far away as
Massachusetts, Louisiana and
California.

Other events of the weekend
included a reception honoring
President Schmidt and retiring
faculty member, Mary Boney
Sheats, a lecture by Professor
Margaret W. Pepperdene, a
reception honoring alumnae
authors of various fields, and
class meetings. For the

Is Anger Misunderstood?

Anger is one of the most
common and potentially
destructive emotions that
people experience. How to
deal effectively with anger and
perhaps even use it to advan-
tage is a problem that has fac-
ed human society since the
beginnings of human history.

In recent years, the fashion
has been to let anger out to
"let off steam," to "get it off
your chest," even go
somewhere and scream at the
top of your lungs.

A new book by psychologist
Carol Tavris, entitled Anger:

The Misunderstood Emotion,
challenges the view that anger
must be let out to preserve
emotional health.

Tavris argues that letting
out anger tends to escalate
hostility rather than dampen
it. But many psychologists, in-
cluding University psychology
professor and counselor Dr.
Wayne Anderson, say express-
ing anger can be beneficial if
done in the right way.

Although there are big dif-
ferences among individuals,
Anderson says most people
can learn to modulate their

anger and express it in small
appropriate doses. When so-
meone does something to
make you angry, Anderson
says you should immediately
tell the offender you are angry
and why. He also recommends
sticking to the issue at hand
and not dragging in past
grievances. If you have a lot of
anger accumulated from past
experiences, counseling is
probably a good idea.

For so-called normal people,
Anderson says "a good, hard
exercise program" often helps
dissipate anger.

A Breath Of Dusty Death

Dormitory residents at the
University of Georgia-Athens
are sure that it's not raindrops
that are falling on their heads.
In fact, they have a sneaking
suspicion that the fine white
dust which is dropping from
their dorm room ceilings may
be asbestos.

Even though the university
housing department spent
over $93,000 this past summer
to remove asbestos-laced ceil-
ing material from several cam-
pus dormitories, frightened
residents of Brumby, Creswell,
and Russell halls on the
Georgia campus and an En-
vironmental Protection Agen-
cy official believe that suffi-
cient quantities of the cancer-
causing substance still exists
and could pose a serious
health threat to student
residents.

According to the University
of Georgia student
newspaper, The Red and
Black, University officials first
learned of a possible asbestos
hazard three years ago when
tests taken by the University
Public Safety Division showed*
that 10 percent of the ceiling
material in seven residence
halls contained asbestos.
Although not required to do so
by law, the Housing
authorities replaced those
ceilings which they felt to be
"most damaged."

University of Georgia
freshman Lisa Massey and her
roommate Susan Agan in-
itiated the complaint when
they reported the presence of
a "baby powder-like"
substance which fell from
their Creswell Hall ceiling.
They first noticed the problem

of dust covering everything in
their room after moving into
the dorm in the fall.

Dan Hallenbeck, University
Housing director, said he
believed the dorm was safe,
and the building wouldn't be
open if it wasn't.

But Dwight Brown,
Southeastern regional coor-
dinator of the Environmental
Protection Agency, said that if
any breathable fibers are fall-
ing into the air as Massey and
Agan claim, then a potentially
serious health hazard exists,
regardless of whether that
material is asbestos or not.

It has been determined that
asbestos only poses a threat
when the fibers are released
into the air.

Since Massey and Agan's
initial complaint, other dor-
mitory residents, some from

other halls, have reported
similar worries. These
students have banded
together to form Students for
an Asbestos-Free Environ-
ment (SAFE) in an effort to
pressure the university into ac-
tion.

The group has asked for the
resignation of Housing direc-
tor Hallenbeck for refusing to
recognize the potential
hazards of asbestos-laced
ceilings.

Hallenbeck's official
response has been to suggest
that unhappy residents
transfer to other dorms. SAFE
members are encouraging a
"mass-transfer request," feel-
ing that such a request by the
3,000 students housed in the
halls under question would
sufficiently demonstrate stu-
dent concern to the institu-

tion.

Student attempts to arrange
a meeting with University of
Georgia president, Fred
Davison, have been unsuc-
cessful so far.

Career Services Take On New Importance

Career development and
placement services are taking
on new importance on most
college campuses. Colleges
and universities are relying on
programs in these fields to in-
crease retention, boost admis-
sions, help fund-raising and
maintain ties with alumni. For
some schools, a good career
couseling / placement pro-
gram may be a ticket to sur-
vival in the '80s, an American
Council on Education panel
concluded.

At the same time, students
are making more demands on
the placement office. Faced
with a tight job market and a
growing need for technical
skills, they look to career
development and placement
officers for answers they
aren't finding in the
classroom.

Rarely are these new
responsibilities accompanied
by increased funding. So the
key for today's placement of-
fice is learning to do more with
less. To meet the challenge,
placement officers are
strengthening ties with facul-
ty, the business community
and alumni. Here's how it
works on some campuses:

Executive breakfasts: At
Silver Lake College, in Wiscon-
sin, seniors host business ex-
ecutives at an "Executive
Breakfast Program." The
students spend the first half-
hour with one executive, then
play "musical chairs," chang-
ing seats to meet different
people. Alumni and faculty
members recommend and
help recruit executives. Silver
Lake's graduating class of 60

to 65 is too small to attract
recruiters, but programs like
Executive Breakfasts help the
school maintain an 85%
placement record. (Contact:
Jan Algozine, Director of Stu-
dent Services, Silver Lake Col-
lege, 2406 Alverno Rd.,
Manitowoc, Wl 54220.)

Alternative Jobs: Yale U.
students can frequently fee!
pressured to seek a
prestigious profession. But at
a one-day Alternative Careers
Conference, Yale students
learn about "non-three-piece
suit" professions in the arts,
municipal planning, inn-
keeping, midwifery, mediation,
and farming. In a morning
discussion, the students ex-
plore some of the values they
incorporate in making career
choices, while in the afternoon
they attend workshops on
specific areas. (Contact:
Chaplain's Office, 258 Yale
Station, New Haven, CN
06520.)

A Joint Effort: In many
areas, small schools hold joint
career days to attract more
recruiters. Three Alabama
schools hosted a joint place-
ment session in February at
Birmingham - Southern Col-
lege. About 24 recruiters par-
ticipated, seeing an equal
number of students from Birm-
ingham - Southern, Samford U.
and the U. of Montevallo. The
schools hosted a mid-day lun-
cheon that featured the presi-
dent of a local bank, speaking
on the value of hiring liberal
arts graduates. (Contact: Judy
Harrington, Birmingham -
Southern College, Career
Counseling and Placement

Center, 800 8th Ave. West, Bir-
mingham, AL 35254.)
Computerized Choices: A

rapidly growing number of
schools are turning to SIGI
System of Interactive
Guidance and Information
to help students make career
choices. The computer - based
program, developed by the
Educational Testing Service in
1977, helps students match
their values, priorities and
skills with possible careers.
The program then evaluates
the student's chances of suc-
cess, helps chart a future
course, and even assesses job
strategies. In its first three
years, SIGI gained 40 campus
clients. Since 1980, it's added
over 200 new schools. (Con-
tact: Ray Potter or Pat Kelly,
ETS, 609/ 734-6165.)

Alumni Assist: A two-day
"Careers" program at Indiana
U. brings alumni back for infor-
mal discussions with
students. Sponsored by the
Student - Alumni Council, the
event allows one-to-one
discussion so that students

can ask the kinds of questions
they wouldn't ask a recruiter.
Alumni pay their own way
back to Bloomington. (Con-
tact: Student - Alumni Council,
Alumni Assn., Indiana
Memorial Union, M-17, Bloom-
ington, IN 47405.)

Classroom Interviews:
Classes on how to get a job
are growing in popularity. At
Purdue U., junior management
majors are required to take a
course in which mock job in-
terviews are conducted,
videotaped and critiqued. At
the U. of Wisconsin - Madison,
the College of Engineering of-
fers a one-credit elective in
career orientation. Its guest
lecturers range from ex-
ecutives with IBM and
Westinghoise, to university
placement directors, to recent
engineering graduates who
relate their -job-hunting ex-
periences. On alumni, a local
merchant, talks on using
engineering skills in areas
other than engineering.

Early Involvement: Career
counselors must make early

links between career develop-
ment and classroom learning,
says Christopher Shinkman,
co-editor of a new book,
"Career Development in the
1980s; Theory and Practice."
Shinkman, director of Stan-
ford U.'s Career Planning and
Placement Center, offers
some ideas: 1) Publicize the
career center at orientation; 2)
have the career development
staff train resident advisers to
provide information and refer-
ral; 3) include freshmen and
sophomores on student ad-
visory committees; 4) use ex-
tracurricular activites to help
students clarify values and
determine interests; and 5) use
the campus media to reach
underclass students.

Junior Job Skills Workshop
Proves Beneficial

by Betsy Benning

On April 13, 1983, the Career
Planning Office sponsored a
"Junior Job Skills Workshop"
for those in the Class of '84
who will begin hunting for jobs
next fall. The informal discus-
sion was hosted by Libby
Wood and Beverly Lorig of
Career Planning. Seniors who
shared their job-hunting
testimonies included Kitsie
Bassett, Penny Baynes, Scot-
tie Echols, Kathryn Hart,
Jeanie Morris, and Shari
Nichols.

The first stage of the job
search is, of course, the
preparation of your resume.
After all, the resume may be
what opens the door for some
types of jobs and that door
may remain closed if the
resume is not constructed pro-
fessionally. Ms. Wood sug-
gested that juniors begin put-
ting together their resumes
now, in order to have them
ready for the early stages of in-
terviewing in the fall. When
Shari Nichols was asked what
she would do differently if she
had to begin job hunting all
over, she immediately
responded, "I would begin
earlier. I would definitely have
my resume ready in the fall."

After the resume is com-
pleted, you should begin inter-
viewing for information and
making contacts. Most firms
are willing to schedule ap-

Cable TV Field Is Expanding

Only eight years ago, there
were so few cable programc
available that local program-
mers used to focus a camera
on a fish bowl, so that all day
long viewers of cable could
watch the fish swim back and
forth.

The days of the fish bowl
are over now, however,
because cable television
penetration has soared to well
over 28% of ail U.S.
households, and this percent-
age is growing at a faster rate
than ever before.

Today, there are so many
cable services available, 35
major ones in all, with 20 more
expected within the next two
years, that the national cable
services are actually paying
local programmers to carry
their service!

Along with the spread in
popularity of cable services,
comes the inevitable heat of
competition. Home Box Of-
fice, a subsidiary of Time, Inc.,
currently dominates the
market, providing 60% of the
pay-TV market with their ser-
vice that's about 8.5 million
subscribers.

With the competition sneak-
ing up behind, HBO has been
forced to initiate an ag-
gressive marketing and pro-
gramming strategy simply to
hold on to their 60% market
share.

Last year HBO earned $75
million for Time on revenues of
about $315 million that's
about a 25% profit margin,
high for any distribution
business.

To keep on top, HBO has ex-
panded its programming
schedule from 12 to 24 hours
per day and has almost doubl-
ed its advertising budget from
$10 million in 1981, to more
than $18 million this year.

Nobody said the competi-
tion wouldn't be tough,
though. Two new cable ser-
vices just recently brought to
the cable market promises to
be strong contenders for the
number one spot. The first,
called Spotlight, has involved
five prominent cable and video
companies in the making. The
Disney Channel, a second con-
tender, was formed by Group
W Satellite Communications,
a subsidiary of Westinghouse
Broadcasting, Co., and Walt
Disney Productions.

Spotlight and Disney not on-
ly will compete with HBO and
Cinemax a second pay ser-
vice operated by HBO but
also with Warner Amex
Satellite Entertainment Co's.,
The Movie Channel, and
Showtime a pay TV service
owned jointly by Viacom Inter-
national and Teleprompter
Corporation.

Even with all the new com-
petitors being launched into
the pay TV market, starting the
service is very costly. It will
cost about $100 million to
launch the Disney Channel,
and it will take a long period of
time, along with a broad
subscriber base to break even,
much less make a profit for
the cable service.

Competition is a deadening
force for many cable com-
panies who are unable to
withstand today's unstable
economy. Just two months
ago, CBS Cable Service an-
nounced the dismantling of its
cable network due to what
they called the increasing cost
of maintaining their service in
its competitive environment.

Companies are still willing
to invest in the long-term com-
mitment of cable program-
ming, however, because they
see large profits down the
road if they succeed in carving
out a share of the market to-
day.

The mass of pay-TV
subscribers is predicted to be
more than 40 million by 1985
a 300% increase from last
year's 14 million, and this 1985
production is expected to dou-
ble by 1990 bringing the
total pay TV subscribers to 80
million.

pointments with students who
want to know more about their
business. Use the people from
these interviews, as well as
friends, relatives, or that rich
uncle to make other contacts
with those in the field in which
you are interested. By follow-
ing leads obtained from these
contacts and by phoning the
leads, you may come across
some form of job opportunity.
The seniors present agreed
that the most important thing
was to be persistent and to
take solace in the fact that the
person to whom you are
speaking cannot see how ner-
vous you feel when making
cold calls.

Finally, when composing
your resume or when inter-
viewing, emphasize your

strong points. For example, if
an employer asks why you do
not have such work ex-
perience, respond by telling
him what you have gained
from those activities in which
you participated instead of
working. If you indicated that a
certain extracurricular activity
or course was particularly rele-
vant to the job for which you
are applying, be prepared to
support this argument.

All in all, the workshop prov-
ed to be beneficial and infor-
mative for the few, only 15,
juniors who did attend;
however, Ms. Bassett warned
those present that there is
"nothing either I or CPO can
tell you that prepares y;ou for
what it (job hunting) is really
like."

Dressing For
An Interview

Classes have ended for the
day and you're sinking into
your favorite chair to relax.
Just as you're reaching a state
of euphoria you suddenly
remember that you have an in-
terview for a job the next day.
Leaping out of the chair, you
rush to your closet and find
that you haven't a thing to
wear. Is that really true? Do
prospective employers really
expect you to go out and buy a
whole new wardrobe for the
job interview? No.

Pre-planning is important in
choosing your wardrobe for
the job. There are three major
considerations: the type of job
or career field, the geographic
location and the company
itself. As for the clothes; don't
dress in fads. Choose simple,
conventional clothes the
"classic look;" a style that
doesn't stand out but makes
your appearance neat and
businesslike.

Before the interview, scout
out the prospective company.
Find out what the employees
wear at work and dress a "step
above." Show that you are will-
ing to go a step further, work a
little harder, than the average
employee. If you can't observe
the employees, stay with the
classic look. Wear that basic
blazer or jacket with a skirt or
a pair of nice slacks.

Don't always make the
mistake of following
stereotypes, either. Sure, most
businessmen dress the same,
but not all. Some employers

for smaller companies may
think the stereotype dress is
too stuffed-shirt and in-
timidating to clients. Dressing
correctly shows you have done
your homework, a point in your
favor.

Here are some major do's
and don'ts for men and women
from Your Professional Image:
Dressing for Success.

For men, avoid anything
loud, sports coats, leisure
suits, bow ties, platform or
white shoes, short-sleeve
shirts, white / fuzzy socks, too
much cologne or after-shave
lotion, flashy watches or other
unusual accessories, fraternal
pins / rings with fraternity in-
signia or other organizational
trappings.

For women, avoid exotic
shoes / sandals, loud colors /
patterns, heavy perfume,
anything faddy, high-fashion
outfits, heavy makeup / long,
false eyelashes, dangling
bracelets, prominent earrings,
wild jewelry, clothing not
cleaned or well pressed.

The geographic location
could mean a great deal when
considering what is accep-
table. Employers tend to be
more lenient when extreme
weather conditions prevail,
but always find out what is
allowed on the job before
deciding what to wear. First
impressions are important,
and can mean the difference
between a job and a position
on the unemployment line.

Factory Production Up

Factory production rose 0.9
percent in January, prompting
government officials to predict
an end to the recession.

"Historically, the upturn in
industrial production has
marked the end of re-
cessions," says Treasury
Secretary Donald Regan.

Production of automobiles,
steel, and construction sup-
plies increased in January.
The only production category

that fell was business equip-
ment.

The January report in-
dicates that inventories of un-
sold goods are finally
depleted. This could lead to
economic recovery unless
sabotaged by high interest
rates.

Federal Reserve Board
chairman Paul Volcker has
told Congress the Fed will try
to help the recovery, but he
gave no specific assurances
interest rates will not go up.

James Levine

Leona Mitchell

by Tracy Baker

As the first week of May approaches, opera buffs throughout
the region look forward with great anticipation to the return of
the Metropolitan Opera. The Met is in residence at the Atlanta
Civic Center Monday, May 2 through Saturday, May 7, presen-
ting a week of the world's greatest operas performed by the
world's greatest singers. No arts event can compare with the
grandeur and virtuosity of a Met production.

The Metropolitan Opera is approaching its 100th year of a
majestic past. From the first performance in 1883 to this year's
slated productions, the Met has traditionally been a company
with a big and varied repertory and the finest artists. The
world's greatest conductors have appeared with the Met, in-
cluding Arturo Toscanini, Gustav Mahler, and Karl Bohm. Sup-
ported in large part by generous corporate endowments, the
Met has been heard in homes throughout the country since
1931 on Saturday afternoons "Live from the Met" radio produc-
tions.

Lincoln Center in New York City is the home of the
Metropolitan Opera, with local performances in the impressive
Metropolitan Opera House. The Met is currently under the
musical direction of James Levine, a child prodigy who was a
soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony at the age of 10. Levine,
with the Met since 1971, conducts four of the seven Atlanta
performances next month. Following is a schedule and brief
description of each of the operas to be performed.

New Financial Aid Policies Announced

Financial aid policies have
been highlighted in national
and local news reports fre-
quently in the last two years.
Colleges and universities to-
day are trying new methods of
dealing with tight budgets
while still realistically trying to
meet students' needs. The
federally funded Guaranteed
Student Loan (GSL) program is
being utilized by many schools
that require students to obtain
the $2500 maximum GSL
before offering any other
assistance.

At Agnes Scott College we
are making some changes in
financial aid policy which are
important to all students who
receive assistance from the
college. We have considered
the college's resources and
how they can best be made

available to our students in
order to offer each student
sources to provide 100% of
her financial need. For
1983-84, the following policies
will be in effect:

1) For the first time we are
requiring a GSL rather than of-
fering Agnes Scott College
loans as part of our financial
aid package. The minimum
freshman and sophomore
loans will be $1600 and
minimum junior and senior
loans will be $1900. These
loans are made through the
student's bank or other len-
ding institution and are cur-
rently carrying a 9% interest
rate. This possibly will drop to
8 % i n May. There is no interest
charged to the student or
repayment due until after
graduation. Since Agnes Scott

College loans carry a 10% in-
terest rate there is a savings
built in for each student.
Specific details on these loans
will be provided to each stu-
dent who receives financial
aid.

2) We will continue to pro-
vide emergency ASC loans to
students who have unex-
pected needs.

3) Campus job hours will re-
main at six per week for
freshmen and sophomores
and 10 per week for juniors
and seniors.

4) We will continue to re-
quire those working on cam-
pus to hold no off-campus job.
This assures campus jobs for
those with no other job
possibilities.

5) Vacation earnings ex-
pected as part of each finan-

cial aid recipient's contribu-
tion to her college expenses
will be $800 for freshmen and
$1,000 for all other classes.
This amount is to be earned
during summer and Christmas
breaks.

6) There was a March 15
deadline for mailing Financial
Aid Forms (FAF's) to the Col-
lege Scholarship Service. If
any student has not mailed
hers, she should check with
her parents and do so im-
mediately.

7) The Georgia Tuition
Equalization Grant for all who
have been Georgia residents
for at least one year will be
$700 for next year. These ap-
plications are due in the
Financial Aid Office now.

Financial aid awards are be-
ing mailed within one week of

the receipt of the processed
FAF. If any student is con-
tacted for further information,
she should respond promptly
so the award will not be
delayed. All students should
pay close attention to the let-
ter accompanying each award.
A reply date of May 1 is re-
quired for all awards made
prior to April 15.

As we become more budget
conscious, both personally
and as members of the ASC
community, it is important
that we work together to
understand student and col-
lege needs. Anyone with ques-
tions or concerns about these
policies is urged to go to the
Financial Aid Office and
discuss them with Mrs. Susan
D. Little, Director of Financial
Aid.

TASHI REVIEWED

by Fara Haney

My sympathy is extended to
those who missed a truly en-
joyable Kirk Series concert by
Tashi. The chamber ensemble
consisting of clarinet, violins,
viola, and cello gave a rich per-
formance which included
something for everyone.

The program began with a
classic Mozart quartet which
fully displayed clarinetist
Richard Stoltzman's brilliant
musicianship. The piece was
light, spirited, and very clearly
executed. It was followed by a
more modern composition by
Takemitsu. This selection,
long and dissonant, was
beautifully played and blend-
ed. The haunting tone of the
piece was clearly described by
its title, "A Way Alone."

Next the audience was
treated to a delightful
"Celebration II" by William
Douglas. The beginning was
slow, a plaintive melody with a
hint of Oriental tones, but the
tempo soon picked up, and
after a very imaginative drum
solo (performed vocally by the
group members), the music
burst into festive jazzy
sounds. "Celebration" was
well received by the audience.

The program continued with
some lovely melodies
transcribed by Dvorak into
string quintets. The romantic
tunes were expressively inter-

preted and added much to the
depth of the performance.

The finale was a Weber
quintet, the last movement of
which showed off with great
success the range and talents
of Stoltzman. The appreciative
audience was rewarded with a
plucky encore, and the even-
ing ended with a reception in

Scott Fares Fine Without Sunshine:

Tennis Team Headed For State Tournament in Rome, Georgia

by Crystal Jones

Thursday, April 14, 1983,
Agnes Scott College hosted a
tennis match against their
local foe, Emory. The sun was
not shining, but Agnes Scott
College showed its glowing
performance on and off the
courts. Off the courts we had a
nice turn out of spectators,
among the elite were Presi-
dent Schmidt and Bertie Bond.
On the courts, Agnes Scott
College tied Emory. Our record
is now 6-6 with 6 matches to
play before the State Tourna-
ment, which will be held at
Rome, Georgia April 29 and 30.
Due to the cloudy weather the
games were played no-add, in
anticipation that it would get
dark by the end of the games.
A no-add game means that
when score is duce, the
players play for one more
point and whoever gets it
wins.

Tammy Jenkins, better
known as "Tammy the Terror",
has won her last five matches,
defeating opponents from
Armstrong, Shorter, North
Georgia, Emory and Augusta.
She has tied Virginia Bouldin's

record, set in the fall of 1981,
for the number of matches

won in a row. Tammy defeated
Erika Noonburg of Emory 2-6,

Polishing It Up: Tammy, "The Terror,"
to a team win in Rome, Georgia.

Jenkins looks forward

6-0, 7-5, but Tammy and Tracy
lost their doubles match 3!6.
Tammy is working on
steadiness from the base-line
and is developing a winning
singles style of play.

Amy Puckett is greatly im-
proving, though she lost her
match to senior Lynn Adler of
Emory in 2 sets, 2-6, 1-6. Amy
is working on cutting down er-
rors in her game and expects
to be ready by the State tour-
nament.

Sue Feese fared very well in
her match against Marcy
Elliott of Emory, winning 6-4,
4-6, 6-4. Sue has developed a
distinct style of play, relying
on her ability to execute all
types of shots and spins, as
well as knowing when to
change the pace of the game.

Tracy Baker has done very
well this season, though she
lost her match against
Emory's Kathleen Compton
3-6, 6-7 (tie breaker score:
8-10). Tracy has improved her
ground strokes, consistency,
and depth. She has one of the
most consistent serves on the
team and rarely misses her
first serve.

Virginia Bouldin defeated
Debbie Herber 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 in a

The
Dance Barre

by Mary MacKinnon

Clogging Team
Started on ASC Campus

A year's worth of rehearsals,
sweat, and dedication have
gone into the preparation of
Studio Dance Theater's Spring
Concert. The performance will
be given this week on both
Thursday and Friday evenings,
at 8:15 pm in Gaines
Auditorium, Presser Hall.

The concert" features dance
numbers choreographed by
student members and by
Studio Dance Theater's direc-
tor, Marylin Darling. Student
works include "El Cantador,"
a dance to a Spanish love
song, choreographed by Alicia
Paredes. Alicia also co-
choreographed "Tattletails"
to the song "Stray Cat Strut"
with Carla Eidson. Nancy
Childer's dance is "The
Phoenix," performed to
"Lord's Song" by the Pousette
- Dart Band. "Gravity," which
will be danced to music by
Pylon, a band from Athens,
Georgia, was choreographed
by Robin Perry. Laurie
MacLeod's work is "Root Beer
Rag." Suzanne Cooper
choreographed a work called
"Chats" to the song "Situa-
tion" by the group Yaz. Other
dances to be presented are
"Dolls," a number
choreographed by Agnes
Scott alumna Betsy Blair, and

"Southern Comfort,"
choreographed by Ms. Darling.
"Southern Comfort" is a work
comprised of four dances in-
cluding "The South's Gonna
Do It Again," "Where Are You
Going?", "Hush-A-By Hard
Times," and the finale, "Stay A
Little Longer." A preview of
this dance number was given
during President Schmidt's in-
auguration.

The dance company will be
performing on a marley floor,
which is being rented for the
concert. This floor will give the
dancers a smooth surface on
which to perform. The existing
floor on the stage in Gaines
has many holes and nails in its
surface which are potentially
hazardous.

The publicity posters that
can be seen around campus
promoting Studio Dance
Theater's concerts were
created during a session with
local photographer Jim Crow.
The innovative layout was
designed by Ms. Darling.
Featured in the photos are
company members Nancy
Childers, Carla Eidson, Robin
Perry, Mindy Spratt, Laurie
MacLeod, and Elaine Dawkins.

The show will be approx-
imately one hour in length,
with a brief intermission.

smartest doggers in the
South! Initially formed by Mrs.
Marilyn Darling for President
Schmidt's Inauguration, the
group now has plans for more
performances. Clogging, a
form of social and folk dance,
is found in the mountains of
North Georgia and the
Carolinas. Not only is clogging
fun, but it is great for the leg
muscles.

The charter members of the
Dixie Darlings include some

of us "hicks" who have grown
up with this fine art. Shari
Bailey, Michele Ingram, Lori

sent group of darling doggers
with each one outfitted in
13-inch crinolines and check-
ed skirts.

The ASC Studio Dance
Theater's concert on Sunday,
May 15, for Weekend on the
Square, will be preceded by a
Dixie Darling Clogging perfor-
mance. Then on Saturday, May
21, the doggers will once
again kick their heels to the
sound of "Bobbie Sue" and
"Cotton-Eyed Joe" at the
Chimo and Students for Black
Awareness Cultural Arts
Festival in the amphitheater.
Any students interested in

classic contest of "patience
vs. petulance." Ms. Messick
added, "Virginia was quite
skilled at dodging flying rac-
quets, strong words, and other
missies."

Sarah Bell won her match
against Emory 1-6, 2-5, 6-2, but
Sarah and Amy lost their
doubles match 5-8. She is a
"backboard player" meaning
that she is able to "get back"
everything. She has improved
concentration in matches.
Thursday, Coach Messick
commented, she showed great
improvement in her ground
strokes and concentration."

Augusta Event
Inspires Growth

by Carolina Bleke

Agnes Scott's tennis team
ventured to Augusta on Satur-
day, April 16th for a match
against Augusta College and a
dinner at Miss Messick's bir-
thplace. The whole voyage
was a success. The team won
every match, and their victory
meal received rave notices.
Frances and Art Messick
hosted the team and coach to
a scrumptious picnic at their
gracious Augusta home. Ham-
burgers and potato salad
abounded. The victors, plump
and content, left at 10 pm after
devouring an ice cream cake.

Aside from the promise of
hearty fare, Coach Messick at-
tributed the across the board
win to Agnes Scott players be-
ing "tougher mentally." She
explained that the women
have been playing consistent,
steady games, and that their
mental preparation has given
them the edge in past mat-
ches.

Saturday's scores were:
Susy Feese 6-2, 6-1; Ginny
Bouldin 7-5, 6-1; Amy Puckett
0-6, 7-5, 6-2; Sary Bell 6-1, 6-0;
Tammy Jenkins 6-3, 6-2; Tracy
Baker 6-1, 4-6, 6-2. Doubles:
Sue / Gin 6-7, 7-6, 6-6 (called on
account of darkness), Amy /
Sarah 7-5, 6-3; Tammy / Tracy
6-2, 6-2.

This season's scores so far
is 6-6. Regionals are coming
up in a few weeks. Come make
your presence known down at
the courts and cheer for your
favorite tennis bum. This is

BE A
GOOD
SPORT

by Laura Newton

Tuesday's weather was
idyllic. It proved to be the
perfect day for playing soft-
ball; which is what the
freshmen and sophomores did
at 5:00 that afternoon. As the
teams lined up, there was
some doubt as to whether
there would be enough
sophomores to make a team.
The sophomores pulled
through however, and the Sun-
dance Kids rode to victory over

the Highlanders with a score
of 7-5. There were many
outstanding plays made by
both teams. Julie Johnson
proved to be a "catchy" asset
for the Highlanders making
several catches on pop-flies.
There were very few spec-
tators at this enjoyable game.
Come on out and support your
team. Even if you don't want to
play, you can still yell! After
all, if you can't be an athlete
be an athlete supporter.

Inclusive Language Issue Rouses ASC

by Susan Whitten

President Schmidt and Rep
Council sponsored a panel
discussion on the use of in-
clusive language in Rebekah
Reception Room last Wednes-
day. The panelists addressing
both sides of the issue were
Bradie Barr '85, Dean Julia
Gary, Meg Jenkins '84, Presi-
dent Ruth Schmidt, Professor
Mary Sheats, and Professor
Linda Woods. Sue Feese '84,
SGA President, moderated.

In their brief opening
statements and rebuttal, the
panelists primarily spoke on
the topics of the changed wor-
ding of the college hymn, the
titles for professors and com-
mittee heads, and the effect of
language in general. Bradie
began by giving objections to
the changing of the college
hymn. Having talked to a
number of students about the
change, she believes "many of
them do not like it." Referring
to the hymn as a work of art,
she also commented, "we
wouldn't change the words to
Milton's Paradise Lost, but we
changed "God of the Marching
Centuries."

Dean Gary identified herself
as more "middle of the road"
on the issue. In reference to
the college hymn, she said
that she prefers "to leave
language as the language was
originally formulated and con-
sider it in the time in which it
was written." Dean Gary also
addressed the issue on the
use of the words "chair" and
"chairman" for committee
heads.

Professor Woods said that
she is "not an opponent of in-
clusive language." However,
she is "comfortable with the
generic 'man'." Yet to keep
generic "man" all-
encompassing, she question-
ed, "Why can't we think of
another word for males?" She
also addressed the topic of
titles for professors. In her opi-
nion, they should all be called
Doctor instead of some pro-
fessors being called Doctor
and others Mr. / Mrs. / Miss.

Speaking from a different
viewpoint, Meg Jenkins
believes that "the sexist
English language contributes
to the oppression of women."

Elaborating on the importance
of language, Meg suggested
the adoption of non-gender
language, as a good starting
point to correct this problem.

President Scmidt believes
that "language reflects
culture." Hence, "if one wants
to move toward equality one
must pay attention to

when a visitor called it a sexist
hymn. Her thinking on this
comment eventually led her to
write the changed version
which includes the moderniz-
ed you (rather than thee or
thou) as well as inclusive
language.

Following the discussion of
the panelists, the audience

hymn change. " 'God of the
Marching Centuries' is part of
my tradition and I felt
somewhat betrayed when the
change was made," she said.
In her opinion, not enough
people were consulted about
the change before it was
made. Commenting on these
remarks, President Schmidt

said that she believes in
"freedom of choice" and for
that reason was willing to
have both versions in the hym-
nal. She "thinks we can live
with that kind of variety for a
while." Another student then
suggested choosing a new col-
lege hymn. This idea was
strongly supported by Presi-
dent Schmidt.

Questinging whether the in-
terest in inclusive language is
"being hung up on the fact
that you are a woman,"
another student suggested
that "we should be confident
to sing the song the old way."
This remark drew a supporting
round of applause.

Speaking "to changing
tradition," a Return - to - Col-
lege student praised Agnes
Scott's openness to change in
admitting non -traditional
students. She also lauded
President Schmidt by saying
she has "started a new tradi-
tion for which women in the
future will be glad."

"There is no question that
language is important at
Agnes Scott "no matter what
one's view." This was evidenc-
ed by the huge number of
faculty, staff and students pre-
sent for this convocation.
Since time eliminated the op-
portunity for manv more peo-
ple to voice their opinions,
another less formal convoca-
tion will be held again this
Wednesday at 11:30 in
Rebekah Reception Room.

language." In short, "we
should begin to change the
culture through synthesizing
with language."

Speaking more broadly on
language, Professor Sheats
expressed her view that "sym-
bols are our only way of com-
municating in life." For that
reason, she believes that "a
symbol must stand for the
reality it represents." By
enumerating Agnes Scott sym-
bols that have died with time
(such as the Alma Mater and
Little Girls Day), she sug-
gested that the langugae in
"God of the Marching Cen-
turies" also needs to follow
with the times. Professor
Sheats first thought of altering
"God of the Marching Cen-
turies" about seven years ago

made comments and asked
questions. One student asked
Mrs. Woods if she believed
changing the word
"chairman" to "chair" is
dehumanizing. Reaffirming
her earlier concern over
dehumanizing the language,
Mrs. Woods said she would
prefer chairman used in the
generic sense of men.
However, President Schmidt
pointed out that "chair" is "an
jold term" not invented by the
feminists," and as thus, is
quite acceptable.

Another student com-
mented that having people
sing two different versions of
the hymn at the same time is
confusing. She suggested the
college have only one official
version.

An alumna gave a different
perspective on the issue of the

Notes

by Helen Stacey

On Wednesday, April 20,
1983, Agnes Scott College
held its twelfth annual
Writers' Festival. Josephine
Jacobsen began the events of
the day with a moving reading
of her recently published short
story, "The Pear Tree." In the
afternoon, there was a panel
discussion of the student
works. Gretchen Schultz of
Emory at Oxford served as the
moderator. After the student
winners were announced in
the evening, Donald Justice's
reading of several of his
poems culminated the 1983
Agnes Scott Writers' Festival.

According to Professor
Margaret Pepperdene, this
year's Writers' Festival
generated "the best response
and the greatest number of
participants ever

experienced." Over 100
students from all over Georgia
submitted 262 poems and 41
short stories. An English
department committee first
selected the finalists; the
guest writers actually decided
upon the winners.

First prize in poetry was
awarded to Kevin Cantrell of
Georgia State for his poem,
"The Last Patch of Sun." The
prize for fiction was split be-
tween two students Jane
Zanca of Agnes Scott for her
story "Timepiece" and Tyre
Harris of Georgia State for his
story "The Pirate I Found On
My Porch." In addition,
honorable mention was award-
ed to Robyn Perry of Agnes
Scott for her poem "The Three
Candles" and to Mark E.
Swanson of Piedmont College
for his poem "The Farmer's
Wife Drunk in the Fields."

Letters To The Editor A Letter To The ASC campus

by Peggy Schweers

There had to be some
reason why I want to England.
Perhaps this is it the
Reason Manifest. London had
been my home for almost a
year when I went to Speaker's
Corner at Hyde Park. I went
there with a large group of
Americans, and we promptly
moved into the area to see and
hear the show. Milling about
from group to group there
would be at each center one
person speaking. He or she ex-
tolled the value of com-
munism, for example, while
heckled by a man cackling,
"What about Albania?" Maybe
the preson spoke of the need
for more people to discover
God in their lives. Many spoke
about the creeping, deceiving
ways of America, cheered on
by Iranians. Every political
issue was addressed with
vehemence and a sense of
completeness. One American
(pictured) stood on a box and
told jokes: ("Have you had
your Sunday joint yet?" A joint
in England consistutes the
main meat at a meal). There
was a variety, a complexity
and a pervasive mood of ex-
citement. Free speech this
was it in the flesh. People talk-
ing in the wind, to strangers.
They had things to say.

So, am I trying to impress
you, telling you about
England? Hardly. I mean to im-
press upon you the impor-
tance of a variety of opinion to
exist. More than that, the ex-
istence of a though ought to
be shared, and can be shared,
on this page. Granted, we

Dear Editor:

Recently, at our annual Mor-
tar Board convocation, I was
unexpectedly honored (and a
little embarrassed) to be
thanked publicly for my work
as the senior Mortar Board ad-
visor for 1982-83. There was no
time aside to thank this group
of students for what they have
done for me during the past
year.

Many of you know that I
changed jobs in January, 1982
from Financial Aid Director to
Director of the Agnes Scott
Fund. My dealings with
students are now much more
limited, and the opportunity to
have a close relationship with
students as I have had with
Mortar Board has been impor-
tant to me as an individual and
as a fund-raiser for the Col-
lege. The members of this
year's Mortar Board have been
a constant reminder of the
thoughtful, intelligent and
dependable students we have
now and have always had at
Agnes Scott. They have en-
couraged me in my work and I
have been able to share my
good feelings about our
students with the alumnae I
have visited.

Thank you for letting me
turn the tables and publicly
acknowledge what a pleasure
it has been to work with this
year's Mortar Board as well as
the two other advisors, Ayse
Carden and Frances Calder.
Sincerely,

Bonnie Brown Johnson
Director,

you, something to react
against, or agree with. Hurrah,

came on a letter dated
November 13, 1964 to his
friend May Sarton. Miss Sar-
ton had come to Agnes Scott
in the spring of 1962 as the Phi
Beta Kappa lecturer and again
in 1963 as a special guest of
the English department for its
literary festival. Mr. MacLeish
had recently been on campus
as guest of the department,
and in this letter he is respond-
ing to Miss Sarton's remarks
about her visits to the College.
I thought members of the pre-
sent faculty and student body
might like to hear what he had
to say about us, and I am
quoting his letter to Miss Sar-
ton in part. (By the way, the
reference to bravery has to do
with the faculty's stand on in-
tegrating the public schools
and public facilities in
Georgia.)

13 November 1964 Antigua
Dearest May:

. . . Now you give me other
things to be thankful for . . .
and the news about Agnes
Scott. I do so completely
agree. For one thing I've never
seen so many truly pretty girls
together and not a
Southernbelle in the bunch.
Nor so sophisticated and
courageous a faculty. I gather
they don't get paid much to be
brave. They just are.

Explain those girls. How can
they all be the right size? And
listen with such good heart?

And that faculty. I thought
perhaps they had been taken
in by Robert Frost whose
smallness lived under his
greatness like a crab under
palm. But no not for a
minute. They knew where the
one ended and the other
began. Marvelous journey . . .

Archie

Sincerely,

Margaret w. Pepperdene
Professor of English

Thank You, Ruth

This letter is addressed to
the Agnes Scott community.
Although much has been said
about inclusive language, I
ask you to read a few more
lines on the subject in hopes
that you may have an objective
opinion as possible. Since I
have never written a letter to
the editor, you should take this
letter as further indication of
my sincere concern.

Specifically, I take issue
with the change from Lord to
God in the college hymn. I ask
you: was this change wrought
becasue of a desire to stay tru
to biblical fact or because
some have a desire to induce a
change in our sexist culture
through language changes?
The biblical writers often call-

ed God, the Lord. This is true
in Hebrew (Adonai) and Greek
(Kurios). Lord is a title that
demands reverence and obe-
dience. The title tells the
Christian something about the
nature of her relationship to
her God. The title transcended
cultures as diverse as that of
the Hebrews and the Greeks.
The desire to change this title
seems to be a political move
based on the subjectivity of a
group who desires a change in
culture, not on an objective
desire to express the nature of
a Christian's relationship to
God.

Is a subjective opinion a
worthwhile authority upon
which to base change?

Rep Rap

by Sue Feese, SGA President

Okay, all you late night Jane Fonda fans, you tennis players and
joggers, you slowpitch superstars and dazzling dlophine, and even
all you "thanks but I'd rather not sweat" types. Rep Council presents
to each and every member of the ASC student body an exclusive
fitness plan guaranteed to work the three basic skills 'readin',
'riting', and 'rithmetic back into shape in the incredibly short
period of one week. This unique offer is available for a limited time
only, so don't let opportunity pass you by.

As always, Rep Council posts the minutes of each meeting on the
Rep Rap board so that you may stay informed of the hot topics on
campus while exercising your readin' skills. This week, the proposed
new elections procedure and ideas for coordinated activities with
Spelman College (including a volunteer community outreach pro-
gram) provide much readin' (and rappin') material. Rep Council urges
you to further promote your readin' fitness by noticing (and digesting
guaranteed non-fattening) two of the articles in this issue of the
Agnes Scott Profile. The first concerns the recent conference entitl-
ed "Black Students on White Campuses" which 11 Agnes Scott
delegates attended. The delegates will present the results of the con-
ference to campus within the next two weeks. Next, the article on
how your $75 activity fee was budgeted among the 18 SGA funded
organizations for the 1982-83 school year and how mcuh each
organization actually spent during this school year is an added
bonus brought to you by the Budget Committee of Rep Council.
Please give these articles your attention.

Let me encourage you to take the time to visit McCain Library to
read the results of the Self-Study evaluation questionnaire which we
all completed a few weeks ago. (The results of are on resever.) Two
areas of interest indicated on the survey were the establishment of
proceses by which students could evaluate courses and teachers
and the adoption of a grade point system which differentiates bet-
ween pluses and minuses on letter grades. Rep will discuss the first
issue tomorrow and Catalyst Committee is investigating the second.
One final way I would like to see your readin' skills used Is to read the
Student Handbook and bring to my or Beth Davis' attention any
changes you feel need to be made or any inconsistencies you find.
This is a limited offer, though. Handbooks will be going to the printer
soon.

Thanks to Rep, you can use your 'rithmetic skills this week, too.
Remember how to find percentages? This skill will be helpful in mak-
ing best use of both the budget information in this Profile edition and
the self-study results. For instance, you may feel that an organiza-
tion is receiving too high or too low a percentage of SGA funds or you
might find that a particular subject is a concern of a large percen-
tage of the campus from the self-study results.

Finally, for a brief but important period, Rep Council is providing
you with the chance to tone up those 'riting' muscles and just in
time for midterm papers and exams! At either lunch or dinner today,
tomorrow, or Wednesday, each of you will be expected to fill out a
survey regarding the following unusual assortment of issues: (a)
budget based on the information in the Profile dealing with the
budgets and expenditures of SGA funded organizations, do you think
certain ones receive too little or too much money? (b) wording of
titles do you want to have a Chairman, Chairwoman, Chair, or
President of organizations such Interdorm or Orientation Council? (c)
Parietals do you feel that there is a need for parietals on Saturday
evenings?

The Rep Council Budget Committee will consider student
responses when it decides on budgets for the 83-84 school year and
Rep will use the findings of the rest of the survey to determine what,
if any, action should be taken. Rep will be using its 'ritin' skills to
come up with a statement defining the basics of petitioning for of-
fices. This proposal will be discussed tomorrow and if approved will
become an addition to the Handbook. I hope you all choose to take
advantage of Rep's special fitness program this week. You won't be
disappointed by the results.

Students Attend Conference At Georgia State

by Gabby Drake

On April 22 and 23, nine
students Gabby Drake, Sue
Feese, Xan Fry, Susanne
Michaelson, Tamer Middleton,
Mia Puckett, Susan Vargus.
Tracy Veal, and Mary Carter
Whitten Dean Kirkland, and
Ms. Grantham attended the se-
cond annual conference entitl-
ed, "Enhancing the Social and
Academic Development of
Black Students on
Predominantly White Cam-
puses." Although many impor-
tant topics concerning pro-
blems which black students
face on campuses were
discussed, only a few ap-
peared to be extremely perti-
nent issues on the Agnes
Scott campus. These topics in-
clude: "Getting Involved and
the Issues Related to It,"
"Recruitment, Admissions,
Retention," and "Faculty and
Administration's Responsibili-
ty."

First, it was generally
agreed upon that it is extreme-
ly important for both black and
white students to get involved
on their college campuses. On
predominantly white cam-
puses, however, black
students are not usually that
involved. They are not involved
in important organizations
because it is difficult to get
elected. According to one ASC
student, the black students on
the ASC campus do not attend
social functions because
those functions focus on the
intent that ASC women should
meet men from other
predominantly white cam-
puses. In addition, Dr.
Marcellus C. Barksdale of
Morehouse College in Atlanta
believes that black students
tend to be more involved with
each other because of the ad-
justment difficulties on the
campuses. For this reason,
they are usually seen in small

clusters on white campuses.

As mentioned earlier, both
black and white students must
become involved on college
campuses. When people see
the small black groups on
campus, however, they im-
mediately assume that these
blacks are not making an ef-
fort to get involved. According
to a student from Washington
University in St. Louis, the
crux of the problem lies not in
the misconception that black
students are isolating
themselves; rather it is the
fact that both groups are
isolating themselves from
each other. To have a produc-
tive campus life, both groups
must interact.

How do black students
become involved? Dr.
Barksdale states that avoiding
isolation is most important
when one wants to become in-
volved. That is, both black and
white students must both
become a part of the college

1982-1983 SGA Budget

The following is a list of the 17 organizations supported
by the SGA treasury, along with approximate percentages
of their allotments in relationship to the total.

Each year, the student treasury is supported by the $75
student activity fee paid by each student. This money is
then divided among these organizations. Included with the
$40,500 in the treasury this year allotted quarterly is
a $1000 cushion, used to cover emergencies (ex. Profile
had to request an addition to their winter and spring
allotments because of a 15% increase in printing costs;
Film Series has had to request more money because of
lower profits than they had projected).

SGA is not included in this breakdown because,
although they do have several definite costs such as the
Fall Retreat for campus leaders, elections, and GSA dues,
unknown costs are more likely to appear as noted above.

This week in the Dining Hall there will be a survey in

they would like their money to be spent in terms of these
organizations.

community. Black students,
therefore, should attend more
of the organizational meetings
and activities on campus.
Likewise, white students
should attend meetings and
functions sponsored by black
organizations.

Another section of the con-
ference stressed that when
recruiting black students, it is
important for the recruiting of-
ficer to be honest with the
black student and not to
misrepresent social condi-
tions of the black student at a
predominantly white school.
According to an administrator
from Davidson College, it is
necessary to be very truthful
with black students. When the
students visit the Davidson
campus, they are told that
there is basically no social life
for the black student. They are
told, however, that they will
receive an excellent education
and that they must make the
best of their social life. David-
son College continues to at-
tract intelligent, career-
seeking black individuals.
Their retention rate is high
because the students come
there with a basic knowledge
of what to expect.

In another part of the con-
ference, the responsibilities of
the faculty and the administra-
tion were discussed. It is im-
portant for them to be

available to the students.
Many students at the con-
ference reported problems
with their faculty. The ASC
representatives at the con-
ference were proud to state
that they had never experienc-
ed similar problems.

In addition, many students
expressed a need to have
black faculty members and ad-
ministrators. They did not
want black faculty members
merely for the sake of seeing a
"black face" on the faculty. In-
stead, black faculty members
would serve as role models. By
seeing black faculty members,
black students would see that
a black professor can teach on
a white campus, earning the
respect of both white and
black students. Such an occur-
rence would evoke positive
thinking in both black and
white students.

The conference offered
guidance on solving the prob-
lems faced by black students
on a predominantly white cam-
pus. First, goals should be set
to which students must be
committed. Most importantly,
both black and white students
must work together and at-
tempt to know one another.
The knowledge which the ASC
students attending the con-
ference gained will be further
revealed at some campus-
wide discussion.

Circle K Hits The Big Time

by Eileen Altman

On April 15-17, twelve
members of the Circle K Club
attended the Georgia District
Circle K convention at Jekyll
Island. Ga. At the convention,
ASC's club won five awards.
Shari Nichols was awarded
the best club president award.
Susanna Michelson was
awarded the best club vice-
president award. The club as a
whole won awards for con-
tributions to the March of
Dimes and for reaching the
10-10-30 goal. This is a
membership drive sponsored
by Circle K International.
Finally, the club received the
runner-up award for the best
single service project. Our win-
ning project is playing bingo
once a week at the
Presbyterian Towers retire-
ment home.

Circle K is a unique
organization on this campus.
It offers all students the oppor-
tunity to serve the community
outside of the Agnes Scott
campus. In addition, since Cir-
cle K is an international
organization, members at ASC
have an opportunity to meet
and promote service with Cir-
cle K'ers from all over the
world. Circle K Internationl's
theme is "Together for Tomor-
row." The three emphasis
areas for service are inactive
elderly, delinquent youth, and
handicapped children. All
Agnes Scott students are en-
couraged to join Circle K at
any time of the year. Students
choose the projects that they
want to do based on the time
and interests that they have.
Meetings are every Monday at
5:15 in the Faculty Dining
Room.

Marilyn Goodman: New Addition to CPO Staff

If you can sacrifice salary
for a chance to gain valuable
work experience this summer,
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Forest Service
has a program just for you.

It's called the Volunteers in
the National Forests and the
program is gaining opportuni-
ty among college students
who are looking for mean-
ingful ways to spend their
summers.

"Last year alone, more than
42,000 volunteers contributed
work to the Forest Service
valued at $15 million," said
Stan Gaylord, the Forest Ser-
vice's natinal volunteer coor-
dinator. "In return, we gave
them a chance to gain
valuable experience and to ex-
pand their horizons. We also
provided insurance coverage
and often reimbursed them for
incidental expenses."

Gaylord explained that the
Forest Service makes every ef-
fort to place volunteers in jobs
that are both interesting and
related to the volunteers' in-
terests or career goals.

For instance, most people
don't associate the Forest Ser-
vice with computers. But many

volunteers are finding the
agency to be an excellent
place to gain experience with
the latest data processing
equipment.

Journalism students also
find the Volunteer Program to
be a good source of valuable
experience.

Some of the more tradi-
tional natural resource profes-
sions associated with the
Forest Service, such as
timber, wildlife, and recreation
management, are notorious
for the difficulties they pose
for students who want to gain
experience in them. The
volunteer program helps
eliminate these difficulties.

Karen Kelly of Corrales,
New Mexico, is currently work-
ing on one of the more in-
teresting volunteer projects.
She's surveying the different
types of snow play in which
people participate on the
Cibola National Forest in her
home state. The data will be
used to see if more areas
should be designated for
these activities.

There are Forest Service of-
fices in 44 states, the Virgin
Islands, and Puerto Rico. To
sign up as a volunteer, contact
one of these offices listed in
the phone book under "U.S.
Government, Department of
Agriculture," or write:
Volunteers. Forest Service-
USDA. Box 37483.
Washington. D.C. 20013. The
only qualifications needed by
volunteers are good health
and a willingness to work.

Students visiting the CPO
office within the past two
months have noticed an addi-
tion to the staff. For those of
you who haven't visited CPO
recently, then you haven't met
Marilyn Goodman.

Although she has met a
number of students while they
participate in programs of-
fered by CPO, Marilyn says
there are at least 350 students
she has not met yet! "I don't
feel that all the students take
complete advantage of the
Career Planning Office. Some
may not be aware of our ser-
vices and others may be aware
but don't feel they need our
services at this time. Whatever
the case may be, we are
available if you need us."

Her own experiences with
the working world before com-
ing to Agnes Scott include a
position with Cox Communica-
tions, Inc., as a secretary to
the Corporate Attorney. Prior
to that she worked for the
Atlanta Board of Education as
a school secretary and in the
personnel department.

Since starting in February,
Marilyn says the people are
what she likes most about
CPO and Agnes Scott. "Upon

entering any new situation, I
meet and consider each per-
son a potential friend. I have
found the students and the
staff friendly, helpful, and will-
ing to do anything to make
your day as pleasant and "hec-
tic" as possible. I don't believe
you can find two people as
hard working and as dedicated
to the cause of career orienta-

Republic of China during the
fall of 1981. A Phi Betta Kappa
Visiting Scholar at Agnes

education. At home she is a
wife of 11 years and the
mother of two boys, Ronald,
Jr. ("Champ") and Daniel
("Danny"), ages 2 1 / 2 years and
8V2 months.

thropology, Dr. Gonzales, has
long been interested in the
relations between theory and
application in anthropology.
Her special interests lie in the
social anthropology of health
and nutrition, agricultural
development and international
migration. She has con-
tributed to the theory of the
family and domestic organiza-
tion generally.

She has received grants and
fellowships from the Ford

Science Foundation to under-
take research in Central
America, the Caribbean and
the American Southwest.

Students Gain Experience
As Forest Service Volunteers

Black Students On White Campuses,

by Tracey Veal ministration's responsibilities.

In 1950, the U.S. Supreme The recruitment and retention
Court overturned the "doctrine of Black students and faculty

of separate colleges" and rul-
ed that equality of education
meant more than an equal
facility. Following the Civil
Rights Movement of the
1960's, desegregation,
although with great
resistance, occurred. Special
efforts were made to increase
the enrollment of Black
students on predominately
white campuses. In light of the
present socio-political situa-
tion of the U.S., particularly in
the realm of higher education,
the presence of Black
students on white campuses
indeed demands reassess-
ment.

Recently a cooperative of
Atlanta colleges and univer-
sities, namely Agnes Scott
College, Clark College, Emory
University, Georgia Tech and
Georgia State University,
sponsored the second annual
conference entitled "Black
Students on White
Campuses." Colleges
represented at the conference
included Davison College,
Washington University, Univer-
sity of North Carolina, and
various institutions
throughout Georgia. Agnes
Scott was well represented by
Sue Feese '84, Xan Frye '86,
Susanna Michelson '84, Mary
Carter Whitten '86, Tamer Mid-
dleton '85. Gabby Drake '85,
Mia Puckett *86, Tracey Veal
'84, Karen Grantham and Dean
Kirkland.

The purpose of the con-
ference was to enhance the
social, cultural and academic
development of black
students on predominantly
white campuses. Topics for
analysis included: recruitment
and admissions, involvement
in campus activities, network-
ing. "Black English." orienta-
tion, and faculty and ad-

and administrators was
thoroughly analyzed. One of
the recommendations was for
recruiters to actively seek
minorities who are qualified
academically in the same
manner in which they seek in-
dividuals of superior athletic
ability, who in many instances
happen to be Black. Network-
ing was perceived as a major
communicative divide through
which Blacks and Whites on
various campuses could ex-
change information and
alleviate some of the racial
problems. Networking would
provide students on
predominantly white cam-
puses an opportunity to in-
teract with students on
historically Black campuses
as well as the reverse, thus
eliminating some of the
stereotypical views and at the
same time facilitating
cooperative efforts between
the two.

Another topic of great con-
cern was orientation of Black
students on predominantly
white campuses. Dr. Marcellus
C. Barksdale, a history pro-
fessor at Morehouse College
and executive director of the
State Committee of the Life
and History of Black
Georgians, effectively ad-
dressed many of the problems
concerning adjustment of the
Black student, many of which
are common to all students.
Psycho-social adjustment for
the black student is much
more difficult. The black stu-
dent, in many instances, is
totally left out of social ac-
tivities in which there are no
other Blacks to interact with.
The student may feel
obligated to attend such
events on the one hand; on the
other hand, the black student

may not feel obligated to at-
tend such occasions where he
or she will not have "equal op-
portunity for interaction." The
lacck of faculty and ad-
ministrators to serve as role
models for black students was
also perceived as a source of
alienation. These problems
and others are the source of
the high attrition rate of black
students on predominantly
white campuses (which, in-
cidentally, is 42-43% at
predominantely white institu-
tions in the east and west and
20% at southern private in-
stitutions).

One of the suggestions for
alleviating these problems of
alienation was to set up an of-
fice of minority affairs. An of-
fice such as this would not
onlyeal with the problems of
Blacks, but other "minorities"
as well (e.g. RTC's and foreign
students). An office of minori-
ty affairs is particularly impor-
tant at the present time, when
many more "minorities" are
choosing to attend
predominantly white institu-
tions.

One of the highlights of the
conference was a presenta-
tion entitled "Return to the -
Source," which traced the
roots of human history, not
"Black" history to Africa.
Presented by Dr. Asa Hillard,
an internationally known
authority on world history,
"Return to the Source" provid-
ed visual evidence of how the
history of Blacks is not
"Black" history, but the
history of all mankind. Dr.
Hillard also noted how history
has been altered to erase the
role of Blacks.

In summary the conference
was a very successful one. It is
a starting point to elimination
of not only racial problems In
the college and university
system, but also in the society
at large.

McNair's Lest We Forget Evokes ASC Memories

by Debbie McLaughlin

For most Agnes Scott
students today, the name
Walter Edward McNair does
not conjure images of a pro-
fessor handing out
assignments, giving lectures
or walking the halls of Agnes
Scott. Yet, for 25 years, from
1952 to his retirement in June
1977, Dr. McNair served as
Director of Public Relations
and Associate Professor of
English at Agnes Scott.

Now Agnes Scott's college
historian, he most recently
has published the book, Lest
We Forget, an account of
Agnes Scott from its begin-
nings in 1889 through June 30,
1982.

Although Dr. McNair has
written many articles, this is
the first book he has publish-
ed. Talking about how he
received the idea to write a
book of this type, Dr. McNair
says, "President Emeritus Mc-
Cain suggested that I write a
history of the college on one
occasion, but there seemed to
be no time until I would retire.
When it did come time for me
to retire in 1977, President
Perry said, 'I want you now in
your retirment to write the
history of Agnes Scott.' At this
time I was very glad to do it."

Dr. McNair is not the f ; rst
person to write an account of
Agnes Scott's history. Dr.
Gaines, the first president of
Agnes Scott wrote a small
booklet which brought the
history of the college up to
1921. When the college had its
50th Anniversary in 1939,
President McCain wrote an ac-
count, and in 1955 he once
again brought the college's
history up to date. "My book is
much more in detail than
anything that has previously
been written; yet, I include
both of these presidents'
works in my sources," Dr.
McNair states.

The professor emeritus
chose to end his book in June
1982 after President Perry's
retirement as he says, "The
end of a president's ad-
ministration is a good stop-
ping place. Yes, there are
many things that have happen-
ed since last June such as
President's Schmidt's in-
auguration, but a historical
writer has to stop somewhere.
Anytime historical matter is
written, it is out of date as
soon as it is published." For
the future Dr. McNair sug-
gests, "A good time to update
what I have written will be in
1989, the year of Agnes Scott's
centennial."

to me until April 1983," he
says.

Considering the daily pro-
cedure for writing his book, Dr.
McNair reveals, "I had no set
daily procedure. I wrote as a
volunteer. The college did not
give me any financial
remunerations. President
Perry offered to pay me, but I
wouldn't comply. This way I
was able to write the book
when I felt so and not on a
strict schedule. However, I
was provided a place to work
on the second floor of the
library near the archives."

Like any other author, Dr.
McNair had to make

dent McCain, the fourth Presi-
dent Alston, and the * fifth
President Perry."

He continues, "I picked up
certain elements that would
be best treated by themselves
and grouped them together in
the end. This includes a sec-
tion on "Observances,
Organizations and Tradi-
tions" and "A Noble Com-
pany," a section which con-
sists of 15 former faculty and
staff members who are typical
of the kind of people who have
made Agnes Scott what it is
today. At the very back of the
book there is a Directory, a

necessary decisions in the
construction of his book. Of an
initial decision he says, "I
could not publish everything.
If I did I would entirely reprint
the records of the college. I
first had to make judgements
as to what I thought was the
appropriate material to in-
clude."

Nevertheless, in this pro-
cess, he admits, "While get-
ting at the sources, one lead
would take me to another one,
and that lead would take me to
another one. Finally, I had to
assemble all my sources into a
succinct account. It was not a
problem; it just took a little
time."

"A title that is
short and easy
to remember. "

convenient and useful listing
of many people related to the
college."

Even though Dr. McNair
took an objective view in
writing Lest We Forget, he ad-
mits, "One can never be com-
pletely objective, and there are
certain personal judgements
in the book. But, when I make
a personal judgement, I try to
indicate so."

A particular instance of Dr.
McNair's use of personal
judgement was in choosing
the "Noble Company." "Cer-
tainly all the nobles that I
chose should have been in-
cluded. However, there are
others that could have been in-
cluded and of whom I thought
long and seriously about
before making my decision. In
the end, I decided not to in-
clude a whole lot of people
who were still living because I
would run into difficulties," Dr.
McNair explained.

Although he wrote the first
chapter of Lest We Forget
before his retirement, Dr.
McNair officially began
writing in the fall of 1977 and
finished the manuscript in
July 1982. "Yet, it took almost
a year to get through the press
with all of the proofreading
and mechanics that are involv-
ed in publishing a book. Lest
We Forget was not delivered

As for the organization of
Lest We Forget, Dr. McNair ex-
plains, "The main narrative of
the book is developed around
presidential administrations,
for the typical way a historian
can block college history is in-
to administrations. The first
and second chapters are in
President Gaines' era, the
third chapter concerns Presi-

He continues, "When I
made my decision, two of the
nobles were still living. Since
that time, Dean Scandrett has
died, leaving John Flint the on-
ly living noble." Of the 15 peo-
ple he chose for the "Noble
Company," Dr. McNair knew
all but three personally
through his working directly
with them or becoming ac-

quainted with them in their
retirement.

Other personal and
necessary decisions Dr.
McNair made for the
publishing of the book includ-
ed the title, footnotes, cover,
photos, and dedication. The ti-
tle, Lest We Forget, is a verse
taken from Rudyard Kipling's
"Recessional." Dr. McNair ex-
plains the reasoning behind
his choice, "I wanted a title
that is short and easy to
remember, yet reflects what
the book concerns. I chose
Lest We Forget because the
book is a reminder of those
things about Agnes Scott 'lest
we forget them.' I had several
titles in mind, but this one
came into my consciousness
and seemed to settle there."

Dr. McNair chose not to in-
clude footnotes as he says,
"Footnotes bother me
because they interrupt my
trend of thought when I'm
reading on a page. Instead, I
built the documentation into
the account itself. I hope I was
successful in doing this."

The paperback version of
Lest We Forget is covered with
a photo of the front of Agnes
Scott at about 1900 before
Rebekah Scott Hall was built.
"The printer chose this cover. I
am pleased with the choice as
the picture seems to wrap
around the book and is sug-
gestive of the title," Dr.
McNair states.

Of the book's photo sec-
tions, he says, "There was a
sizable reservoir of Agnes
Scott pictures that I had to
limit in my selection. I chose
to include photos of Agnes Ir-
vine Scott herself, George
Washington Scott, the
presidents of the college,
chairmen of the Board of
Trustees, four pictures of ap-
proximately 20 year's growth
of the campus, the old
diploma, and various other pic-
tures of the college, past and
present."

He added, "As for the photo
typography, I could have scat-
tered the pictures thoughout
the book. However, I thought it
would be more effective to
place them in two separate
blocks."

Talking about Wallace
Alston and Marvin Perry for
whom the book is dedicated,
Dr. McNair relates, "The time
that I worked at Agnes Scott
was a very happy period. The
people I worked for and with
were supportive of me, and I
respected all of them. Nobody
ever had better people to work
for than as I did in Wallace
Alston and Marvin Perry. I ad-
mired and do admire them.
They are personal friends as
well as being former
employers."

Considering the audience
he kept in mind while writing
Lest We Forget, the professor
emeritus states, "I wrote the
book for people who are in-
terested in Agnes Scott
alumnae, faculty, trustees,
students and any one else who

would have an interest in the
college."

Dr. McNair reveals the
general type comments that
have been made concerning
the book since its release in
April, 'People have been very
kind and complimentary so
far. But, it should be kept in
mind that most people have
not had time to read the whole
book. True judgement should
be reserved until the entire
book is read."

The college historian
reveals his deep feelings for
Agnes Scott as to why he
would write a book on such a
subject, "Agnes Scott has
been a great institution since
the time it was founded. I am
completely in sympathy with
the three-fold purpose of the
college the devotion to
liberal arts, the quality in work
done, and the emphasis on
Christian context in everything
at Agnes Scott. I find this pur-
pose completely in line with
what I would want to align
myself."

"Growth and
change are
synonymous
terms. "

He continues, "However,
the test of the worth of any in-
stitution is its product; and,
our alumnae, who are a pro-
duct of Agnes Scott are as fine
a group of people who could
be found anywhere."

Discussing the changes
that have been made at Agnes
Scott since his retirement, Dr.
McNair gives his opinion,
"Everything that is alive
changes. Growth and change
are synonymous terms. If
something ceases to change,
then it has started to die; and,
naturally Agnes Scott is very
much alive and growing. It is
expected that the college will
continue to change as it has
changed since I have known it.
Any intelligent person should
be able to deal with change."

Dr. McNair summarizes the
changes that have occured in
his life since his retirement in
1977, "I have been so busy in
my retirement that I
sometimes wonder when I had
time to work. One of the
secrets of retirement is to
keep busy with varied in-
terests."

Dr. McNair does not plan to
remain idle now that his book
is completed, bound, and on
the market. He tells of his
future plans, "I have another
little Agnes Scott project in
mind which I'm not ready to
announce. I've not yet had an
opportunity to discuss this
with President Schmidt, and I
would certainly want to have
the green light from her before
I begin."

Lest We Forget is available
in the college bookstore: $15
hardbound, $10 paperback.

Jacobsen Brings Craft To Campus Again

JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN

Poet Justice Reads

by Cheryl Carlson

Donald Justice, Pulitzer
Prize-winning poet, gave a
reading from his poetry
Wednesday night, April 20, as
the culminating Writer's
Festival event.

Justice, currently Professor
of English at the University of
Iowa, was introduced by ASC
Professor Mary Butler. In her
laudatory introduction, Ms.

Butler referred to Justice's
poetry as "serious without be-
ing pompous," and not depen-
dent on "linguistic tricks to
keep the reader's attention."
Mr. Justice read about 15
poems, upon most of which he
contributed personal insight.
Mr. Justice and his poetry
were equally fascinating, and
served as an excellent finale
for the Writer's Festival.

by Baird Lloyd

At Agnes Scott College
there are frequent oppor-
tunities to be enriched by the
guest lecturers and other ar-
tists who visit our campus. Oc-
casionally there will be one of
a small number who touch our
lives more deeply. Josephine
Jacobsen is one of those few.
She has visited the campus
many times in the last 10
years, most often as a guest
during the annual ASC Writers
Festival. She came again this
year to our Writers Festival to
read her work, talk with
students and share herself
with us. Freshmen and others
who may not have even heard
of her prior to her visit leave
her readings discussing her
works and appreciating her
talent, always waiting in an-
ticipation for her visit "next
year."

Josephine Jacobsen is a
poet, a writer of other forms,
but most of all, a lady. Gentle
and gracious, she is one who

sees the humanity in others.
She has served as Poetry Con-
sultant to the Library of Con-
gress, won numerous awards
for her writing, and currently
serves on the Literature Panel
of the National Endowment for
the Arts. Her published works
include five books of poetry,
two works of criticism (with
William R. Mueller), lectures,
and a book of short fiction.

Mrs. Jacobsen's reading
during the 1983 Writers
Festival was of two short
stories, "Jack Frost," which is
contained in her book, A Walk
With Rashid and Other
Stories, and "The Pear Tree," a
story published more recently.
In past visits she has read
from her volumes of poetry, in-
cluding her newest collection,
The Chinese Insomniacs. She
works her craft with objects
and events both ordinary and
extraordinary, but the
language is the same
throughout crisp and sure
language to be understood.

Although her poems are most
often written in free verse,
which is common among con-
temporary poets, it is a form
she makes all her own. An ex-
ample of this is a poem which
has been a favorite with Agnes
Scott audiences. "Pondicherry
Blues (for voice and snare
drum)" is a poem delightfully
rich in rhythm, meant to be
read aloud. Her short stories
contain characters made vivid-
ly real by Mrs. Jacobsen's
descriptions. On the whole,
her stories move very like her
poems and are written in the
same language. Copies of all
her works can be found in the
Agnes Scott library.

Perhaps the key to
Josephine Jacobsen's deft-
ness with words can be seen
in lines from her poem, "The
Fiction Writer."
Last night in a dream
or vision or barrier broken
strange people came to me.
I recognized them.

And so we recognize
ourselves in her works.

Gandhi Is Genuine Epic

If there is one element miss-
ing in the epic Gandhi, it is sur-
prise. By now we've heard how
long it took to complete it;
we've heard how dedicated the
director, Richard Atten-
borough, was to its creation;
we know it's already won
many major awards, including
the New York Film Critics
honor for best picture. And
once seen, it's not surprising
why.

The film is extremely well
made, with outstanding acting
all around, especially from
Ben Kingsley in the title role,
and his Indian supporting

Deckers Trio
To Perform

The Agnes Scott College
Music Department will present
the Deckers Trio of Atlanta
and violist Reid Harris of the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
in concert Sunday, May 1. The
program will begin at 8:15 p.m.
in Agnes Scott's Presser Hall.
For tickets, call 237-8973.

The members of the
Deckers Trio are violinist
Lorentz Ottzen and cellist Nan
Maddox, both in their 10th
season as members of the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,
and pianist Beverly Gilbert,
who was for eight years on the
music faculty at Emory Univer-
sity.

In their third and final con-
cert for the college's
1982-1983 music season, the
trio and Mr. Harris will perform
Bach's "Sonata No. 3 in G
minor," Prokofieff's "Sonata
for Violin and Piano, Op. 80"
and Martinu's "Three
Madrigals for Violin and
Viola." The trio will also play
Brahm's "Piano Quartet in C
minor, Op. 60."

The chamber music ensem-
ble is named in honor of
Hungarian pianist and teacher
llonka Deckers-Kuszler. who
performed with the original
Hungarian Quartet. Ms.
Deckers has coached the
Deckers Trio for the last two
years during her month-long
visits to Atlanta.

cast. It's directed with a sure
hand. The photography is
beautiful. The story is in-
teresting and clearly told. In
short, from these expecta-
tions, it doesn't disappoint.
But in a strange way, the
strength of Gandhi is also its
weakness. In spite of its spec-
tacular dimensions, its faithful
recreation of one of this cen-
tury's great men, it is a movie
that doesn't have any sur-
prises, unpleasant or other-
wise.

There's no denying that it is
impressive in many ways, but
because it's less a fictional
creation than a fictional ac-
count of facts, Gandhi is
limited in its overall effect.

Gandhi has abundant vir-
tues, of course. Ben Kinglsey
is thoroughly convincing. The
Indian cast members are
equally credible and skilled.
Some of the most distinguish-

ed British actors (including
John Gielgud, John Mills and
Trevor Howard) make cameo
appearances and give fine per-
formances. Ian Charleson,
who was outstanding in
Chariots of Fire, gives another
excellent performance and is
one of the few western
characters to appear for any
substantial time. Martin
Sheen, and regrettably, Can-
dice Bergen, both make cameo
appearances as American
journalists. Bergen, never a
formidable actress, provides
Gandhi with its only whiff of
inauthenticity.

the rest of the film's creative
qualities, especially the
photography, are first-rate.
This film is well crafted, not in-
spired. Attenborough has
created an homage to Gandhi
the figurehead, not a film
about a man, a remarkable
man, but a man just the same.

Radiation Exhibit At Fernbank

How much radiation am I ex-
posed to and from what? What
happens to commercial
nuclear waste? Does radiation
affect the human body? How
is radiation measured? Is
radiation useful? All these
questions will be answered
through Our Radioactive
World" exhibit which will be
displayed at Fernbank
Science Center April 11
through May 29, 1983.

The exhibit, produced by
The American Nuclear Socie-
ty, is designed to inform
through photographs, draw-
ings and easy-to-read copy,
and includes two hands-on-
units a Geiger counter and
a computer game. Visitors will
be able to maneuver a Geiger
counter and uranium ore, a
Fiesta ware dish and a
gasoline lantern mantle to get
a firsthand view of how radia-
tion is measured. Visitors will
also be able to play Energy
Scramble, a game that asks
questions and test knowledge
of the information presented
on the exhibit panels.

Information is presented on
what radiation is, its natural
existence in rocks, food and
many items we handle daily,
plus some of its beneficial
uses. The display also
describes radiation occurring
from the use of coal and
nuclear power for generating
electricity, what nuclear waste
is and some of the career op-
portunities in nuclear science.

To provide more information
to the public and to comple-
ment this exciting exhibit,
Fernbank Science Center
along with the Atlanta Section
of the American Nuclear
Society, the Health Physics
Society and the Atlanta
Radiology Society, have put
together a lecture and film
series. Lectures will be held on
Friday evenings at 7 pm and
films will be shown on Thurs-
day evenings at 7 pm and
Saturday afternoons at 3 pm.

Lena Home Dazzles Audience

by Colleen O'Neill

On Wedneday night,
February 20, Lena Home dazzl-
ed her audience in the Fox
Theatre. Her hit musical, Lena
Home, The Lady and Her
Music, played at the Fabulous
Fox through April 24.

Lena Home: The Lady and
Her Music is a one woman
show. Miss Home holds the
stage for over two hours with
her wit, her personality and her
incredible singing voice. The
show is a "musical calvacade"
which traces the various
phases of Miss Home's
career. It is the story of a
young, black girl, born in
Brooklyn, lived in Atlanta for a
time, who got her start in the
chorus of the Cotton Club in
Harlem. It covers her stint as a
Big Band singer and as a
Hollywood star. Humorously,
but with an edge of bitterness,
Miss Home recounts how her
friend Ava Gardner got the
part she should have had,
Julie, the tragic mulatta in

"Show Boat."

Lena Home is a legend and
never more so than when she
is live on stage. She sings
"Stormy Weather," her
trademark, twice: once she
sings it because the audience
is waiting to hear it; and once
she sings it from the heart.
She says she sings "Stormy
Weather" better now than as a
young girl in the movie. She is
experienced now, and
understands the song. That is
really what Lena Home, The
Lady and Her Music is all
about, experience. The show is
packed full of words of
wisdeom from the world's sex-
iest senior citizen. She is fun-
ny, acerbit and very wise. She
grew up black, made it in
Hollywood and she knows the
world and its ways.

The lady is wonderful and so
is her music. The show is ex-
citing and fun. Miss Home
holds the stage in beautiful
costumes, exactly suited to
her, designed by Giorgio Sant'
Angelo. Two women and a

man occasionally join in on
the musical numbers. They are
especially good in the old Cot-
ton Club numbers. Lena's
Quintet and the Atlanta musi-
cians were conducted by Lin-
da Twine, a remarkably
talented young woman.

The program biography
reads, "Lena Home has dazzl-
ed audiences throughout the
world with her charm, taste,
and intelligence, and with her
formidable talent." This April
she dazzled Atlanta. She is in-
deed a remarkable woman.

Lena Home: The Lady and
Her Music was brought to the
Fox by the Theatre League of
Atlanta. The Theatre League is
also presenting "Hello, Dolly"
with Carol Channing (May
17-22), and "Sugar Babies"
with Mickey Rooney and Ann
Miller (June 21-26). These two
Broadway smashes promise
to be as enjoyable as Lena
Home: The Lady and Her
Music.

Final Coffee Concert
To Feature Pianist Janis

Carol Channing Returns In "Hello Dolly"

James M. Nederlander and
Fred Walker will present Carol
Channing in a new production
of "Hello Dolly!" at the Fox
Theatre in Atlanta opening on
May 17th and running through
May 22. This new production
of the Jerry Herman - Michael
Stewart classic, based on
Thornton Wilder's "The Match-
maker," will then continue on
its 15 city tour across the
U.S.A.

"Hello, Dolly!" opened on
Broadway at the St. James
Theatre on January 16, 1964,
starring Carol Channing, and
went on to win 10 Tony
Awards; becoming one of the
most highly successful
musicals of all time and play-
ing a total of 2844 perform-
ances.

The story revolves around a
zany, but resourceful and com-
pletely lovable character - that
of an enterprising lady
dedicated to. the pursuit of
mirth, money and marriage. In
contemporary terms, Dolly
Gallagher Levi is very much in
the spirit of women's lib: a
woman alone who finds a way
to survive . . . and happily!

Carol Channing, who has
captivated audiences across
the U.S.A. and Europe in every

phase of show business, won
a tony Award and Critic's Cir-
cle Award for her outstanding
portrayal of Dolly Levi. She
received an Oscar nomination
for the film, "Thoroughly
Modern Millie," was voted
"Best Musical Star of 1970" in
London by theatre critics, has
had countless Emmy nomina-
tions, and has set records in
every aspect of the entertain-
ment world.

Miss Channing, one of the
world's most energetic and en-
thusiastic women as well as
one of our most popular come-
diennes, is proud to have
created the role of Dolly Levi in
the original cast of "Hello, Dol-
ly!" According to Carol: "The
Musical Theatre is America's
contribution to the stage and
Dolly Levi is a classic musical
character. Just as "Hamlet,"
"Macbeth" and other classics
are performed regulary, so I
plan on bringing Dolly Levi to
the people every 15 years or
so."

Gower Champion, "Dolly's"
original Director and
Choreographer, was awarded
last year's Tony Award for
Best Choreography for "42nd
Street." Mr. Champion's name
is synonymous with some of

the greatest musicals in
Broadway history including
"Bye, Bye Birdie," "Carnival"
and "I Do! I Do!"

Lucia Victor, who was
associated with the original
"Hello, Dolly!" from its incep-
tion, and has directed
countless productions of the
musical, is on hand to recreate
the original Gower Champion
direction, giving it the stamp
of Opening Night - every night!

"Hello, Dolly!" showtimes

Thursday, Friday & Saturday
evenings at 8 pm, Sunday
evening at 7 pm, and Saturday
& Sunday matinees at 2 pm.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983

Front and Center-Newton's Softball Notes

by Laura Newton

Last Thursday, Agnes
Scott's Softball team played
their first game of the season
against Mercer of Atlanta.
Though the team played
valiantly, they were defeated
by Mercer with a score of 8-3.

Agnes Scott fielded the
following players: Amy Potts,
Sue Scott, Laura Smith, Ruth
Feicht, Julie Norton, Angela
Smith, Becky Moorer, Julie
Johnson, Kappy Wilkes,
Bradie Barr, Julie Bradley,
Laura Feese, Julia Christian-
son, Colleen McCoy, Ann
Weaver, and Connie Price. (My
apologies to anyone I might
have left out, but there were a
lot of people milling around on

the field and sidelines.)

There were lots of high
points and a few disappoint-
ments in the game. Julie Nor-
ton, in an effort to stay on first
base, hurt her knee for the se-
cond season in a row, and was
taken to the infirmary. Accor-
ding to Rosemary Kriner,
Julie's knee will be fine.

I knew it was going to be a
good game when I got to the
hockey field and the team
from Mercer was wearing pro-
fessional uniforms. They were
definitely hot scoring six
runs in the first two innings.
Kate McKemie of the P.E.
department was heard to say,
"I can tell they served spinach
in the Mercer cafeteria today!"

Early in the second ining one
of the girls from Mercer step-
ped up to the plate, with the
bases loaded, and blasted a
homerun straight down the
first base line.

Agnes Scott played well, but
didn't seem to get any breaks.
Things began to look up,
however, in the fifth inning. I
have never seen such team-
work before. With Julie Chris-
tianson catching two pop flies
in a row, it was three up- and
three down. Meanwhile on the
sidelines, Kappy Wilkes and
Julie Bradley with the help of
Sue Feese, were cheering their
team on with a variety of
stunts performed in true
cheerleader fashion. Again in

the sixth inning, it was three
up- and three down. During the
seventh inning, Ann Weaver
scored the last run for Agnes
Scott. She accomplished this
feat with some coaching from
Ms. McKemie and a promise of
a steak supper if she hit a

homerun, an offer to which
she gladly complied.

Come and watch on Tues-
day at 5:00 p.m. when the
Seniors play the Faculty / Staff
and again on Thursday at 5:00
p.m. when the Freshmen play
the Juniors.

The Dance Barre

Keep Up With the Janes

by Caroline Bleke
Do you ever wonder what
those Scott women in wild
leotards do every evening? I
did. First let me tell you that I
admire all of the athletes on
campus. It is phenomenal how
they manage their time in
order to be successful
students and ahtletes.
However. I am in awe of the
Jane Fonda-ites.

Besides having incredible
stamina (and the above men-
tioned "colorful' 1 garb), these
closet athletes must also be
engineers in order to follow
Jane's directions. Example:
"Lift your right leg over your

D-P Debate

At first glance, Depo-
Provera appears to be the
ideal contraceptive. One injec-
tion prevents pregnancy for
three months. That's it. But
Depo has been banned in the
United States since 1978.

Recently, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration called a
special inquiry to decide if
American women can use the
drug as a contraceptive. The
active ingredient in Depo is a
synthetic progestogen which
suppresses the pituitary hor-
mones that bring about ovula-
tion. However, in some animal
experiments, the substance
seems to have caused cancer.

Other contraceptive
methods are now being
developed and tested, in-
cluding a pill taken two or
three times a month and a cap-
sule that would be implanted
under the skin and would work
for six months. Work is also
being done on male contracep-
tives which would block sperm
production.

right shoulder while keeping
your hips perpendicular to
your left elbow and one-two-
three . . ." Instinctively, these
women act on Jane's breathy
instructions and contort
themselves willingly for one
hour several times a week. A
primary goal in the program is
to "feel the burn."
Presumably, when a muscle
has been worked consistently,
lactic acid is released from the
muscle which creates the bur-
ning sensation (Helen Stacey
will be more than happy to ex-
plain the complexities of this
biological transaction).

Psychologically, Jane has
the edge. In spite of the con-
trotive repititions and bizarre
exercises ("Rover's Revenge"
is a particularly provocative
example), Miss Fonda makes
the hour seem almost plea-
sant. Her calm voice explains
and describes the exercise,
Jimmy Buffett and Boz Scaggs
croon in the background. She
counts the repetitions.

Seek out these unsung
athletes. You too can "feel the
burn." Maybe Jane Fonda will
make an "activist" out of you.
Happy exercising! !

During this past Thursday
night's SDT spring concert
performance, three important
guests were seated among the
audience. The purpose of their
presence was to observe and
judge the dance works
choreographed by the student
members of SDT. Every year at
the spring concert, a student's

work is chosen as the reci-
pient of the Student
Choreography Contest Award.
The winner will be announced
in next week's issue of the Pro-
file. Two of the women serving
as this year's judges are
Agnes Scott alumnae and both
are former members of Studio
Dance Theater. Lil Agel, now
serving on the Georgia Coun-
cil for the Arts, officiated as
President of SDT when she
was at ASC. Cindy Burns, also
an alumna, was president of
Student Government Associa-
tion. The third judge, Janet
Cook, is presently a dance
teacher at the Decatur School
of Ballet.

Although SDT's Spring Con-
cert is the highlight of the per-
forming years, the season has
not yet come to a close. SDT
has been invited to participate
in an upcoming DeKalb Coun-
ty arts festival in May, entitled
Decatur On The Square. More
details will be included in
future columns.

Juniors Smash
Sophomores In Softball

by Angela Smith

On Wednesday. April 20. the
juniors defeated the
sophomores by a score of 17
to 4. Outnumbered by three
players, the sophomores took
the lead in the first inning with
Angela Smith scoring the first
run on a base hit by Laura
Lones. However, this lead
dwindled quickly as the
juniors stormed back to get

five runs in the bottom half of
the first with nearly everyone
on their team scoring. The
sophomores managed to get
two more runs in the second
inning and one in the third. The
juniors dominated the game
with two homeruns. one by
Julie Bradley and the other by
Haley Waters, as well as
singles, doubles, and triples
by the players on their team.

Physical Plant to be Reorganized

Agnes Scott College
physical plant will be
reorganized "So that we can
build up a crew of expertise
and do more things on cam-
pus," explained Barclay, Vice-
President of Business Affairs.
In mid-April, the physical plant
director, Vaughn Black and
Jim Parr, VVally Waters and
Bob Poss were notified that

their contracts had not been
renewed for the next fiscal
year.

Barclay continued, explain-
ing that the new Director will
be responsible for structuring
the new supervisory positions
to include a licensed plumber,
licensed electrician and a
licensed heat / vac / air techni-
cian. "We can do repair work

here dui noi any new installa-
tion. To install a new electric
or plumbing line, for example,
you must have licensed per-
sonnel. Any time we go off
campus for professional work,
labor costs $30 and more per
hour."

In addition, Barclay said
that he hoped that motivation
within the whole department

will be improved, and better
use of time will be encourag-
ed. Primarily, the reorganiza-
tion was to make Agnes Scott
more self-sufficient than it has
been in the past.

Vaughn Black, presently the
director of the physical plant
here, said that he agrees with
the need for licensed crafts-
men. However, Black remark-
ed that "there are still areas of
weakness, but you can't ex-
pect more than that at these
wages."

Black went on to say, "I've
had nothing but praise in the
five years I've been here. I was
totally surprised when I was
told of the change!"

Barclay has received 14-15
applications so far and hopes
to have made a decision by
June 1. Letters have been sent
to the Higher Education refer-
ral service, as well as 120 let-
ters were sent to area colleges
and universities. From these,
Barclay expects a field of
20-25 from which to choose,
and hopes to have made a
decision by June 1.

Prepare for
Internships

College students interested
in working in summer jobs in
their chosen professional
fields should apply now for the
thousands of corporate and
governmental internships and
work-study opportunities
available.

According to The Scholar-
ship Bank, most internships
are sponsored by major cor-
porations and pay in the range
of two to three thousand for
the summer. Many will pay
students' relocation ex-
penses. These internships are
good sources of training and
may lead to permanent
employment as well as in-
valuable contacts in the stu-
dent's chosen field. In addi-
tion, internees can qualify for
scholarships and other finan-
cial aid from many of these
employers.

Board of Student Activities
Implements New Evaluation Procedure

by Rachel McConnell

The Board of Student Ac-
tivities held its first meeting
last Wednesday to discuss the
goals of the up-coming year.
Denise Mazza opened the
meeting with a challenge to
the assembled leaders to bet-
ter define the individual goals
each group on campus would
be working to achieve. She
reminded the leaders to be
realistic in their activities and
to remember the budget.
However, she was equally em-
phatic about the need for in-
novative ideas and efficient
organization.

The Board of Student Ac-
tivities is comprised of the

Vice Presidents and Chairmen
of each organization on cam-
pus as well as petitioned posi-
tions. At this meeting the
group was introduced to a new
program to aid in a more
beneficial and precise evalua-
tion of each organization. In
the past, as the year ended,
each head of each organiza-
tion submitted an evaluation
of the organization's success
in obtaining set goals. From
this evaluation the Board of
Student Activities made sug-
gestions to the upcoming
organizational leaders about
running those organizations.
Generally this method had en-
joyed a limited success.
Denise and her board have im-
plemented a three part evalua-

tion that runs throughout the
year as opposed to a final
once a year evaluation. This
proposed three part evaluation
will encourage leaders to set
more short term and more
realistic goals. The periodic
evaluation also affords an op-
portunity to correct and
modify throughout the year.
The final evaluation had
centered on more long term
vague goals that were fre-
quently no heeded by the new
leaders who were overwhelm-
ed by new responsibilities and
concerns. Over all, the new
evaluation procedure will
hopefully aid in the more ac-
curate assesment of each
organization's goals and pro-
grams.

1983-84 Multicultural
Symposium Announced

by Catherine E. Fleming

What is this symposium
that keeps coming up in con-
versation? Who is responsible
for all this activity, and most
importantly, what is its pur-
pose?

The Multicultural
Awareness Symposium is a
series of events whose main
purpose is to awaken the col-
lege and local communities to
the serious achievements of
various cultures. There will be
a different emphasis every
quarter, starting with the Near
and Far East in the fall, which
will involve the Middle East, In-
dia, Japan, China and other
Asian countries. The em-
phasis in winter quarter will be
on Blacks, Africans, and Carri-
beans, and in the spring, it will
be Hispanic America, or a
focus on Spanish-speaking
countries.

The series of events will in-
clude lectures, panel discus-
sions, exhibits, films, con-
vocation speakers, and at the
close of the year, there will be
a Multicultural Craftworkers
Festival. The events will touch
on academic topics such as
art, art history, literature,
sociology, religion, and
political science. They will be
relevant as well to the public,
as current issues are stressed,
and done so in an effort to
understand a culture that will

be encountered in today's
world of international trade
and business.

The Multicultural
Awareness Symposium Com-
mittee is headed by Catherine
Fleming. Each member of the
committee has several areas
of expertise. Ayse Carden,
Denise McFall, Caroline
Dillman, and Penelope Camp-
bell are faculty or ad-
ministrative staff members
who bring much needed sup-
port, physical assistance, and
advice. Tracy Veal brings her
expertise to her position as
public relations chairperson.
Celene Howard serves as
social chairperson, in charge
of all receptions. Noel Durham
and Sharmaine McNeil co-
chair the secretarial commit-
tee. Peggy Schweers and Kap-
py Wilkes co-chair the speaker
committee. Ann Colona heads
up the technical committee.

The symposium is basically
a format of intercultural infor-
mation. A panel discussion in
April examined the incorpora-
tion of multicultural elements
into curriculum. There is
already much encouragement
on the part of community in-
dividuals. The intent for the
symposium is a serious ex-
amination of bringing
multicultural elements closer
to the campus and to the com-
munity.

Carney

In light of recent controver-
sies concerning "traditions,"
particularly these "traditions"
which directly affect a minori-
ty, be that minority women,
blacks, the elderly, etc., it is
important to note that "tradi-
tions," even "borrowed" ones,
are made to be broken. The re-
cent controversy at the Univer-
sity of Mississippi is a case in
point. The chancellor of Ole
Miss announced that the rebel
flag would no longer be used
as the school symbol (the
rebel flag was never the of-
ficial school symbol in the
strictest sense). Many of the
students at Ole Miss were
enraged by the chancellor's
decision. For Whites, the flag
is merely an expression of
pride in being a Southerner,
which is quite understandable.
The rebel flag, in the eyes of
many Blacks is a reminder of
the old South the bitter
history of slavery. Thus, the
rebel flag is somewhat offen-
sive to Blacks, which is also
understandable. According to
one student, "Being a

Southerner is something
special . . . and when I hear the
song 'Dixie' or see a rebel flag
I never think of the tarnished
portion of the South's
history." Perhaps we would
think of that "other portion" of
the South's history, and con-
sider a heritage which in-
cludes ancestors who didn't
and to a certain extent still do
not enjoy the freedom that we
so often take for granted. The
"mere" waving of a flag or
song makes it all the more dif-
ficult to forget the bitter past.
No one is attempting to take
away that special part of being
a Southerner.

The Black students at Ole
Miss certainly have a valid
point. They would like to have
a school symbol that
everybody not just Whites
can rally around. Another im-
portant lesson to be learned
from the Ole Miss incident is
that traditions be they "bor-
rowed" or "original" are not
infallible; they too are subject
to change.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor.

I attended the convocation
on Wednesday, April 27, ad-
dressing the issue of inclusive
language and Agnes Scott's
hymn. It was a typical debate,
as far as debates go.

I somehow got the feeling
the debate concerned more
than the issue of "him" and
"her" in the hymn. This
became evident from the
outstanding turnout for a
"non-mandatory" convocation
almost standing room only.
I guess this is when I really
became interested in the
debate (not having already
decided which side I agree
with).

The floor was opened to
questions and comments.
Most of the responses were
what I expected to hear. An
alumna stood to express her
concerns about changing
"her" college hymn. President
Schmidt explained how the se-
cond version of the hymn
came about. She concluded
her explanation by saying that
she had no idea such small
changes would cause so much
controversy my sentiments
exactly!

The most significant state-
ment I heard during the entire
convocation was, "I guess the
college community is not
ready for changes." This, in
my opinion, is the real issue at
hand. I am not even sure if this
generalization can only be
limited to students anymore

Proposals Produced Through Channels of Creativity

Twenty-one proposals were
received from the Agnes Scott
community for projects under
the Channels for Creativity
Program. The Committee on
the Future of the College, ex-
panded by additional staff
members and students,
agreed to give consideration
to these proposals and to
make recommendations con-
cerning their funding and im-
plementation. The Committee
did an excellent job of careful
review, making helpful com-
ments concerning their
deliberations and ranking the
proposals in priority order. The
officers of the College were
pleased to follow the recom-
mendations of the Committee,
and we are proceeding to im-
plement the following pro-
posals which received highest
priority ratings.

Proposer - Martha Kirkland,
Mollie Merrick.

A conference of deans of
students from women's col-
leges of similar type to be held
at Agnes Scott College. Fund-
ed at $3,000.

Proposer - Catherine Flem-
ing and the Multicultural
Awareness Symposium Com-
mittee.

A year-long series of pro-
grams focusing on many
cultures in the world and in
this country. Funded at $5,000
with encouragement to coor-
dinate other programs which
might be included under this
general rubic.

Proposer - Elizabeth Moye.

A proposal for a child care
center for the children of
Agnes Scott students, faculty,
and staff. Because of the com-
plexities of the project, further
study on the feasibility of this
proposal is necessary. There

is great interest in providing
such a facility in one of the
college houses if at all possi-
ble. The cost involved (the
largest amount requested in
any proposal) is estimated at
$28,500 including the renova-
tion of a house and "start up"
expenses. The center's opera-
tion would be paid for by user
fees.

Proposer - Career Planning
Office - Libby Wood, Beverly
Lorig.

"Work Experience for
Liberal Learning," a student
non-credit summer internship
program, developed by the
Career Planning Office and
faculty and supervised by
faculty. An outside grant re-
quest has been submitted for
this project, but if such fun-
ding is not secured or is insuf-
ficient, up to $9,000 may be
allocated.

Proposer - Sharon Maitland.

Summer Program for High
School Students. Some fun-
ding for further planning and
study on this proposal.
Amount and procedure to be
determined.

Proposer - Linda Woods.

Scholarships for Joint High
School Enrollment. The Ad-
missions Office will be contac-
ting high schools and high
school juniors in the area to
offer 10 scholarships to
qualified high school seniors
who will be given free tuition
for one course at Agnes Scott.

Monday, May 2, the Young
Atlanta Alumnae Club spon-
sored an informal discussion.
"For Seniors Only Life After
Agnes Scott." Those speaking
on everything from apartment
life to lifestyle adjustments
were Ann Jones 79, Ann Lowe
76, Dottie Enslow Putnal '80,
Madeline Redd 78 and
Elizabeth Wells 79.

These women, whose jobs
range from a gift shop clerk to
an Assistant Manager at
Southern Bell, stressed flex-
ibility in jobs. They also
discussed willingness to
relocate since one's plans

after graduation often change.
In the job search, they remind-
ed the seniors to look for the
weak as well as the strong
points of a business and to
check out carefully the future
of all jobs.

When asked about apart-
ments, they related some per-
sonal experiences including
reminders on security
deposits, suggestions on
household budgeting and in-
formation on buying and ren-
ting furniture.

Finally, in discussing the
adjustments in the lifestyle
change from school to career,
they reminded the seniors of
tho loneliness due to the lack

of "instant friends" one is ac-
customed to in the dorms. Ann
Jones' suggestion to curb
loneliness is "to do something
you've always wanted to do
but never had the time to do."
In adjusting to working with
different types of people in
various environments and
situations, Ann Lowe remind-
ed the seniors to think, "This
is not better; this is not worse;
it's just different."

These women provided
helpful information for the
seniors. Additionally, they in-
vited the seniors who are stay-
ing in Atlanta to join their
alumnae club!

Educators Fear More Student Services And Classes Will Go

by David Gaede

The halting economic
"recovery" isn't cheering up
too many college officials,
who now worry that even a
faster approach of prosperity
may not prevent a new, even
deeper round of cuts in
academic programs and stu-
dent services for the next
school year.

"It's like running full speed
ahead just to stay in one
place," says Ken Kirkland,
fiscal affairs director of the
National Conference of State
Legislatures (NCSL).

"Thirty-nine out of the 50
states have already cut their
(higher education) budgets for
this year," he reports. 'And
there's certainly no relief in
sight for higher education."

Over the last year, bad
business and unemployment
have cut the amount of money
states have collected taxes.
With less money to spread
around, most of those 39
states have forced public in-
stitutions including their
colleges to cut their own
budgets and halt spending.

To cut, colleges have fired
teachers, leaving students
with fewer, more crowded
class sections from which to
choose on many campuses. In
some cases, whole academic
departments have been
abolished.

All kinds of student services
from faculty evaluations to
free phones in dorms to cam-
pus escort services have
also been axed at many
schools.

And to raise more money,
colleges have been raising tui-
tion and fees, sometimes by
as much as twice the inflation
rate.

Observers say that, even in

light of improved economic in-
dicators over the last six mon-
ths, American higher educa-
tion is in for more of the same
in the near future.

"Even with a good year,
we'll still probably have about
the same amount of
unemployment," predicts Il-
linois State's M. M. Chambers,
who tracks state funding of
higher education across the
country.

"We've simply reached a
stage where we have to raise
taxes to increase state
revenues," he says. "If state
services are going to be main-
tained education included
states have to collect more
in taxes."

"State funding cuts are pro-
bably hitting higher education
harder now than ever," adds
Nancy Verde of the Education
Commission of the States
(ECS), based in Denver.

"We've had budget cuts ex-
ceeding $75 million over the
last five years," reports
Charles Davis, spokesman for
the 19-campus California
State University system.

And for 1983-84, "our
system is in for increased cuts
and a marked increase in stu-
dent fees" in order to cope
with the state's projected $3
billion deficit, Davis says.

The woes are national.
Verde of the ECS says the
Pacific and Great Lakes states
are suffering the most.
Missouri, Ohio and Oregon
colleges can also look forward
to budget freezes or cuts for
1983-84.

West Virginia and Alabama
are slashing higher education
funding by 10 percent. Arkan-
sas, Kentucky and Louisiana
are imposing five percent cut-

backs on their colleges and
universities.

Michigan colleges were sav-
ed from much larger cuts for
next year when voters last
month approved a four-year,
$3.6 billion tax increase.

Now they'll lose "only" $23
million from this year's fun-
ding levels.

"That's almost a relief to us,
though," says Bill Lobenherz
of Wayne State University in
Detroit.

Educators and students in
California, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Illinois, among other
states, have also been cam-
paigning actively for tax in-
creases to help them avoid
more cuts next year.

The reason is that "any
signs of economic recovery
just haven't percolated down
to the state level yet," says

Apathy Cont'd

(Continued from page 2)

athletics, and disinterest in
the functions of the SGA, but
also the apathy is shown by a
lack of concern for the world
outside the Agnes Scott com-
munity.

I often hear complaints that
Agnes Scott is not preparing
us for the "real world." Yet
whenever an organization
sponsors an off-campus event,
there is little or no student par-
ticipation in the event. Winter
quarter President Schmidt and
the convocation committee
tried to bring the "real world'
to campus. They sponsored a
series of convocations on
world hunger. Unfortunately,
this was a vain attempt. There
was an average of 15 to 20
students present at the con-
vocations. It seems a shame
to waste opportunities to learn

Philip Sirotkin, head of the
Western Interstate Commis-
sion for Higher Education, a
coalition of 13 state education
systems.

"It's a pretty risky thing to
count on an economic
recovery to work the magic,"
Chambers agrees. "Tax in-

Blood Pressure a "Silent Killer

James Calano and Jeff Salzman, authors of Real World
101.

by Tracey Veal

High Blood Pressure is a
"silent killer". . .
35 million Americans have it. . .
Only 14 million do something
about it. . .

Only 5 million I keep it under
control!

Now recognized as a health
problem of great magnitude,
high blood pressure is pro-
bably the commonest of the
diseases affecting the heart
and blood vessels. In the
United States one of every six
persons has hypertension.
Since high blood pressure has
no reliable symptoms, the only
way to know whether one has
high blood pressure is to have
one's blood pressure checked
routinely.

Over a period of time, the
constant, insidiuos impact of
hypertension even when the
condition is mild, takes its toll.
High blood pressure adds to
the work-load of the heart and

arteries. The heart, forced to
work harder than normal over
a long period, tends to
enlarge. A slightly enlarged
heart may function well, but a
heart that is very much enlarg-
ed has a hard time keeping up
with the demands put upon it.
After the wear and tear of
years of high blood pressure,
the arteries may become
hardened, less elastic and
scarred. This process may
take place gradually as people

Real World 101: What College Never
Taught You About Career Success

What college never taught
you about career success . . .
that's the theme of an unusual
new book directed to students,
called Real World 101. Real
World 101 has been called the
college student's book of
street smarts, because it is
backed with advice that most
of us will never find in a
classroom or textbook.

One of the most interesting
aspects of Real World 101 is
its authors, James Calano and
Jeff Salzman. They are
founders of CareerTrack, Inc.,
a national management train-
ing firm that has instructed
literally thousands of ex-
ecutives and professionals on
how to get ahead. But it's not
their impressive professional
credentials that make Calano
and Salzman's point of view so
interesting. It's their age 25
and 28 respectively. And their
degree of success this year
their individual incomes will
exceed six figures.

That's the beauty of Real
World 101: it is not only written
by experts in career develop-
ment, but by young profes-
sionals who have made it
themselves and are writing
from experience. Never has a
book addressed so specifical-
ly or so well the real pro-
blems young, recent college
graduates face in getting a job
and a fast start in the profes-
sional world.

Step-By-Step
Strategies

Real World 101 is a
"how-to" book; it provides a
step-by-step blueprint to the
techniques and strategies of
early career success. Calano
and Salzman deal with
everything from getting the
most out of the college you
have left, to landing a prize job
(with no experience, naturally).

to handling yourself in
business meetings.

Calano and Salzman point
out that most colleges today
consider it their job to prepare
students technically for a
career. History majors
graduate knowing all the ap-
propriate facts and dates.
Engineering majors know all
their formulas and principles.
Computer majors know
everything they need to know
about digital electronics.

"And there's nothing wrong
with that," the authors say.
"Anybody who's going to call
himself or herself a profes-
sional needs to have that kind
of technical foundation in
their profession. Unfortunate-
ly, today that kind of technical
knowledge is not enough.

"There's another whole
body of information that you
need to know. It's called pro-
fessionalism and that
means how to think, act and
perform like a professional,
and how to get credibility and
respect from other profes-
sionals."

Today's Way To
Launch A Career

After this somewhat
philosophical beginning,
Calano and Salzman get right
down to the specifics of how
to make it as a fresh college
graduate today starting, ap-
propriately enough, with a
blueprint for getting a job. But
this is no conventional
blueprint, because Calano and
Salzman say, "Conventional
wisdom will only get you to
conventional places, like the
$12,000-a-year 'entry-level' job
or the 40/40 Rut (40 hours a
week for 40 years)."

The authors maintain that
"employers today don't want
just 'employees' . . . they want

'stars', stand-outs, the cream
of the crop.' It's essential,
because in today's service-
oriented, communications-
dependent business climate, a
company's success depends
more than ever on the quality
of the people it employs.
That's why even in the midst of
an economy with millions of
people unemployed, good peo-
ple are more in demand than
ever and more than ever
they are writing their own
tickets."

Calano and Salzman then
lay out a unique, sometimes
startling, step-by-step process
of selling yourself as a star to
companies: from making a list
of prospective employers, to
creating your resume (the
"Unresume", as they call it), to
interviewing, to negotiating
the salary, job description and
working environment).
Although some of their advice
is conventional, the total job-
hunt process is presented with
such insight and common
sense that someone following
their advice is almost
guaranteed to get a better first

job than someone who
doesn't.

Since Calano and Salzman
write so much from experience
as well as their expertise in
the field of professional
advelopment, the reader really
gets a feel for what it's like out
there. As they explain it,
"Much of what we teach we
learned the so-called 'hard
way,' by hitting dead ends,
making wrong turns and
wasting a lot of time and
energy. To a large degree trial
and error is the basis for any
human development, and that
goes for professional develop-
ment too. We're not saying our
ideas will insure that young
professionals will not make
mistakes, but simply that we
can help them make fewer
mistakes, and can particularly
help them to avoid the big
ones that exact big penalties."

Medical Burnout
Growing In Concern

Campus Digest News Service

Medical burnout is becom-
ing a subject of great concern
to those in the profession, as
well as people who depend
upon their doctors.

It starts at the beginning of
a doctor's training.

Students in pre-med pro-
grams often finish school with
their bodies exhausted from
the pressures and demands of
their intensive training. They
have been so concerned with
learning facts that they
sometimes exhibit an insen-
sitivity when it comes to deal-
ing with their patients.

After years of practice, doc-

tors then have a tendency to
suffer drug and alcohol abuse,
suffer emotional problems and
sometimes commit suicide.

The particular problems of
the medical profession are
beginning to come under
scrutiny as medical schools
across the country try to deter-
mine how to reduce stress and
make doctors more sensitive
to their patients.

Many schools offer
rehabilitation programs for
doctors who are suffering
from alcoholism or emotional
problems. They help the doc-
tors resolve their problems,
then monitor the doctors as
they re-enter their profession.

grow older even when they do
not have high blood pressure.
However, high blood pressure
tends to accelerate this
hardening process. Wear and
tear on the tiny blood vessels
in the back of the eyes, which
also results from high blood
pressure, may bring on
thickening of the vessel walls,
tiny hemmorages, and blind-
ness. When high blood
pressure accelerates artery-
clogging at hero see ro sis,
cholesterol and other
substances can collect in the
damaged blood vessel walls.
As these deposits build up and
arteries are narrowed, their
capacity to carry blood is
reduced or even completely
blocked. When this happens to
an artery feeding the brain, a
stroke is suffered. About
180,000 Americans, both
young and old, die of strokes
each year.

Linked with strokes are ma-
jor social, personal and finan-
cial problems. The World
Health Organization reports
that stroke patients probably
occupy more hospital and nur-
sing home beds, and even
make more use of social
welfare services, than do
cancer and accident victims
combined.

Studies conducted by Dr.
Robert E. Harris and Dr. Ralph
P. Forsythe of the car-
diovascular institute at the
University of California, San
Francisco, and studies con-
ducted elsewhere found
that people with high blood
pressure "seem to experience
many kinds of personal in-
teractions as stressful and as
the occasion for emotional
arousal." Their emotional
upsets are more frequent,
more intense, and longer
lasting than those of other per-
sons, and are accompanied by
episodes of increased
pressure on blood vessels. It
must be noted that the high
blood pressure profile arrived
at by various studies may be
quite different, due to the
elusive nature of hypertension
and the need for further
research on the subject.

The American Heart
Association suggests that one
eats, drinks, and exercises in
moderation and has his or her
blood pressure checked
regularly. After all, an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure.

Enrollment
Shifts

Campus Digest News Service

By the year 1990, the college
population will consist of
more older students and more
women, according to the Na-
tional Center for Education
Statistics. Close to one half of
the entire college population
enrolled could be part-time
students, according to NCES.

The number of students
under 25 enrolled should
decrease 15 percent, while the
number of students aged 25 to
49 should increase by 25 per-
cent.

Putting Things Off (Read This Later . . .)

Putting-lt-Off

How do we do it?

Whay do we do it?

And most important, How
do we keep from doing it?
assuming that it is, in fact, a
desired goal.

"Putting-it-off" is the grand
art of, the ability to, come up
with every conceivable means
of diversion to keep from
beginning, continuing, or com-
pleting some task. And the
diversions are apt to come so
easily, to be such an
atuomatic response that we
don't even realize what we are
up to. It all seems so
legitimate somehow.

Procrastination always
seem to raise itself to an art
form this time of year, with
term papers and exams loom-
ing in the foreground
(somewhere between the
memories of spring break and
the promise of summer).

Procrastination can be
caused by a variety of reasons.
A sampling includes:

fear of failure (why do it
if it's never going to be good
enough, either for you or for
the evaluator?)

fear of success (it takes
a lot of guts to be good at
something, to stick out like
that; or you might be forced to
feel good about yourself
before you're ready; or you
might have to get responsible)

not knowing how to do it,
or how to begin

activities

Liberal Education Should
Increase Cultural Awareness

The Tufts University ad hoc
committee on curriculum
review tried to determine "the
responsibilities of liberal
education" in its interim
report, according to Dean of
Undergraduate Studies David
Maxwell. The report also
discusses methods of
teaching those respon-
sibilities, Maxwell said.

The report recommends that
all students be required to
take "a year-long course in the
cultural intellectual history of
the Western World." Maxwell
said, "There was a feeling on
the part of the committee that
our students need to have a
greater awareness of the
cultural and historical context
in which they live."

According to the report,
"We often fail to provide our
students with an understan-
ding of the ways in which the
disciplnes relate to one
another." Maxwell said, "We
do a very good job of teaching
and our students of learning,
but institutionally we don't do
a very systematic job of mak-
ing sure that you understand
what math has to do with
music." He added, "We don't
transcend the lines of
disciplines."

The report also suggests a
math literacy requirement,
saying students should be
able to "perform basic
arithmetic," understand the
laws of probability, and know
what a digital computer can
do. The Educational Policy
Committee (a student-faculty
committee) inserted a
paragraph recommending a

"math gratia math" require-
ment.

EPC Chairperson Michelle
McAlpin, an economics pro-
fessor, explained, "Math is not
just a tool, math is an intellec-
tual discipline," and she add-
ed that students should "gain
some appreciation" of this.
Maxwell said, "I can't support
it (the insertion by the EPC)."

Students should be required
to take one of their natural
science requirements with a
"research experience
whether in the laboratory or on
the basics of literature and/or
statistical material available
to the student," according to
the report. However, Dean of
Faculty Frank Colcord said,
"We don't have enough
laboratories" for all students
to take a lab science.

The report also recom-
mends that one of the two
courses in the fine arts re-
quirement should be a studio
course, and it suggests that
the foreign language require-
ment be separate from the
culture courses.

"The spirit of the distribu-
tion requirements is not being
met the way it was 10 years
ago," Maxwell said. Provost
Sol Gittleman noted, "Some
kinds are abusing the distribu-
tion requirements." Maxwell
added the distribution re-
quirements don't make the
connections between the four
categories (humanities, fine
arts, social sciences, and
natural sciences. "Nothing
should be learned out of con-
text," he said.

McAlpin said, "There will be
a rather minimal increase in

the number of requirements."
She noted that some of the
new requirements would
replace some of the old ones;
for example, she said that the
College Writing Requirement
(English 001 and 001) may be
incorporated into the course
on Western culture. The report
also suggests that the writing
course could be fulfilled
through introductory level
courses, such as Psychology
001, History 009, and
Chemistry 003.

The report mentions that its
recommendations could be
learned outside of the
classroom. "Interim session
programs, intensive series of
seminars during the freshman
orientation or on selected
weekends throughout the
academic year, dormitory-
based discussion groups, etc.
are all options that should be
considered carefully," the
report says.

A Celebration of Spring

>v\mS '83

Spring 1983 breezes in this season with confidence and
ease. The styles are bold, the colors are bright. There is
definitely a reason to celebrate! Although European designer
collections are filled with sharp, fitted suits, there is a contrast
to this look in daytime wear from American designers. There is
obviously a wide choice in wardrobe options for this spring.
The best advice is to balance your outfit with a sampling ol
styles. You have the freedom to experiment with line and color
and shape in order to find what works best for you. Following
are some main highlights of the spring fashions. Celebrate the
new season by adding at least one of these items to your war-
drobe. It will give you a much needed lift after winter.

Fitted suits are making the strongest fashion statement.
This spring is a celebration of a fit, healthy body, one to which
these slender lines will call attention. These suits are meant to
especially show off the hips. Many suits are belted with wide
belts, and many suit jackets have peplums just skimming the
hips. Suits are ever moving away from the traditional plain
suited skirt. This season suits are very dramatic, yet very
feminine. Bold stripes adorn blazer lapels. Jackets and skirts
are of contrasting colors, especially in black and white. The
skirts are pencil slim, and the length falls anywhere from above
the kneecap to mid-calf. Suits are being accessorized with hats
and kid gloves, giving an air of haute-couture.

This spring is a celebration of a carefree attitude in fashion.
American designers, in particular, have introduced collections
consisting primarily of soft, easy, and comfortable clothing.
Pants are ever popular, especially the styles with elasticized
waists. Predominant fabrics are soft cottons, luxurious linens
and rich silks.

The main colors of this spring's clothing reflect a celebra-
tion. Bright, bold, and cheery colors show up everywhere in
silk blouses, in solid colored pants and skirts, and even in
shoes. Purples are very popular this season, and the newest
color combination is pink and grey. This is a particularly
feminine, yet sophisticated pairing of colors. It works especial-
ly well in suits, but is also very appropriate for casual wear.

Shoes are the biggest reason to celebrate. The new styles
are refreshing, the color combinations and patterns daring.
Bright polka dots spice up white pumps, lattice work opens up
pumps and espadrilles, and comfortable, colorful jazz shoes
are everywhere. There are many options in heel height, from
flat to low heels best for day, to high heels usually reserved for
evening.

The coming of warm weather, blooming flowers, and spring
fever bring along with them a reason to celebrate. Spring
clothing should reflect a confident, carefree, fun attitude. Try
new styles and new colors that you never would have before.
Enjoy shopping for spring clothes, but have even more fun try-
ing on different outfits remember to celebrate and be adven-
turous.

The Alliance Premieres Shange's
Adaptation of Educating Rita

The world premiere of
Ntozake Shange's adaptation
of Educating Rita by Willy
Russell will be staged at the
Alliance Studio Theatre for a
three week run from May 11
through May 29. The award
winning comedy is the final of-
fering of the 1983 Studio
season.

In Educating Rita, street-
wise and academic meet and
clash with hilarious results.
Rita is a brash young woman
with a hunger for literature
and for life beyond the boun-
daries of ghetto poverty. She
enrolls in an evening course at
the open university, where her
sometimes cynical professor
finds her both amusing and in-
vigorating.

London critics applauded
Educating Rita. The Sunday
Times called it "Simply a
marvelous play, painfully fun-
ny and passionately serious . .
. it sent me out moved, excited
and exhilirated." And
Theatregoer Magazine raved,
"An excellent evening's enter-
tainment ... a good contem-
porary comedy with undercur-
rents of sincerity."

Lynn Thigpen will play Rita.
Thigpen's long list of credits
includes Godspell and The
Magic Show on Broadway,
Studs Terkel's Working, both
on Broadway and on PBS, and
the one woman show / Ain't
Finished Yet. She was a Tony
Award nominee for her role in
the 1980 Broadway hit Tin-
types. She has appeared on
the silver screen as the stage
manager in "Tootise," and her
television credits include
semi-regular appearances on
NBC-TV's "Love Sidney/'
PBS's three part movie "The
File on Jill Hatch," and
William F. Buckley's special
series "Freedom to Speak."

David Canary will play
Frank. Canary's most recent
Broadway appearance was in
Nicholas Kazan's Blood Moon
this year. Previous Broadway
credits include Tennessee
Williams' Clothes For A Sum-
mer Hotel with Geraldine Page
and Great Day In The Morning
with Colleen Dewhurst. Films
include "Hombre" with Paul
Newman and Frederick March.
Canary is well-known to TV au-

diences, who first saw him in
the original "Peyton Place"
with Mia Farrow and Lee
Grant, and most recently as
Steven Frame on the soap
opera Another World. Canary
is perhaps best remembered
however for his regular ap-
pearances as Candy on NBC-
TV's "Bonanza."

The Alliance's Artistic
Director Fred Chappell will
direct. Chappell's directorial
credits this season include A
Little Night Music, Chekhov In
Yalta, and Another Part Of The
Forest.

Educating Rita will be per-
formed in the Studio Theatre
at 8 p.m. on Tuesday through
Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sun-
day from May 11 through May
29. Tickets are $7 ($10 on Fri-
day and Saturday nights).
There will be a specially priced
preview performance ($4.50)
on Tuesday, May 10 at 8 p.m.

tion, call the Alliance box of-
fice at 892-2414.

Writing Becoming a lost Art

Writing is becoming a lost
art, according to Andy Rooney.
The average American doesn't
write as much as in the past.
"It's a shame," said Rooney.
Writing techniques can always
be improved upon. Unfor-
tunately, he said, most
Americans are not willing to
take that step.

Speaking to a college crowd
at the University of Missouri -
Columbia last week, Rooney
said people talk to obscure
their ignorance. "You can fake
it when you're talking. Writing
it down puts the thought to the
test." He explained that
writing is a good form of
discipline. If people can't write
down their thoughts, they pro-
bably don't have the thought in
the first place.

Rooney doesn't blame
television for the decline in
writing. He said it is in our na-
tional character. Writing is
hard work. Americans shy
away from anything that tends
to be hard. "I think it started
with multiple choice exams,"
quipped Rooney. He stressed
that too much time is spent on
teaching form in the American
school system. Instead, sug-
gested Rooney, more time
should be devoted to the
development of content in
writing.

Rooney thinks newspaper
writing is better than it was 10

or 25 years ago. He noted that
more people are reading
newspapers today than ever
before. Rooney said he hopes
newspaper journalists aren't
intentonally improving their
news style to give people what
they want to hear. Rooney said
the networks have realized the
moneymaking potential of
journalism. He said that his
own show, "60 Minutes," is
working with the idea of mak-
ing money behind them.

Rooney believes selling is
where the money is. "We are
selling better than we are mak-
ing." He cited a personal ex-
perience to explain: he recent-
ly tried to have his station
wagon repaired but found only
the sales department open. "It
I can buy a car on Saturday,
why the hell can't I get one fix-
ed on Saturday?"

He also expressed his con-
cern about American youth.
He said he believed most col-
lege students were out to
make money instead of trying
to make something of
themselves.

When asked by a member of
the audience if he liked peo-
ple, Rooney said: "I have high
hopes for the human race." In
an attempt to meet the college
students head-on, Rooney
answered a question about his
agenda after his speech with
his whimsical humor, "I may
cruise for burgers later."

Architectural Tour Of Atlanta
To Be Offered May 15

Women Revolt, Grab Government!

Some of the unique
buildings designed by ar-
chitect Willis Denny will be
highlighted in a special tour
planned for Sunday, May 15
from 1-5 p.m. The free tour is
sponsored by Secretary of
State Max Cleland, the
Georgia Department of Ar-
chives and History, and the
Atlanta Preservation Center in
cooperation with the State
Historic Preservation Office.

Included in the tour, which
falls during National Historic
Preservation Week, will be
Rhodes Hall (1903), the First
United Methodist Church
(1903), Inman Park Methodist
Church (1897), and two
residences in Inman Park
(1902).

The tour will begin at
Rhodes Hall, 1516 Peachtree
Street, where free maps will be
distributed. Andrea Niles of
the State Historic Preserva-
tion Office will present con-

tinuous slide lectures on Den-
ny and his architecture.
Visitors will travel to the other
locations on their own. Train-
ed volunteers will be at each
site to answer questions and
point out significant architec-
tural details.

Willis Denny, according to
an early Fulton County history,
was "the leading residential
architect" of early twentieth-
century Atlanta. Although his
career lasted only eight years,
he designed buildings in
Atlanta, Americus, Augusta,
Louisville, Macon and Mont-
gomery, Alabama.

"While we can't bring back
the Piedmont Hotel, the Ma-
jestic Hotel, or any of his
apartment buildings, we can
show some of this talented
man's designs that are still
standing," said Niles.

tour contact the Georgia Ar-
chives at (404) 656-2390.

satire holds nothing scared,
not even motherhood or
women's liberation.

Performances are May 13,
14 and May 20, 21 at 8:15 p.m.
in the Winter Theatre of the
Dana Fine Arts Building.
Tickets are $4 for the general
public and $3 for students. For
reservations, call 377-1200.

To set the mood for this
Hellenistic Happening each
evening Professor "Withered-

spoon" of the "Athens Com-
munity Gymnasium, Athens,
Miss.," will deliver the slide
lecture, "Ancient Pop Porn,"
on the "obscaenus" elements
in ancient Greek comedy.

The cast believes that "life
is a banquet and most Sons of
Sparta are starving to death,"
so they invite the audience to
follow them after each perfor-
mance to a Bacchic revel.

The Meaning
of Life Explored

Monty Python's The Mean-
ing of Life has stretches of ge-
nuine humor, but only stret-
ches. Oddly enough, this may
well be what the Python gang
intended.

The Meaning of Life is more
satiric, more pointed and
iconoclastic than previous
Python films. It is also more in-
decent and outrageous.

Much of Monty Python's
comedy, in their BBC televi-
sion show and their earlier
films, is reminiscent of Lewis
Carroll, flavored with contem-
porary black humor. Their
comedy is based on absurdity,
whimsy and, most of all, the
unexpected. On their televi-
sion shows, an anything-can-
happen approach was enhanc-
ed by a loose, almost chaotic
structure. A sketch would ap-
pear, then abruptly end. One
sketch inexplicably grew into
another. In short, their comedy
exploited the non sequitur for
the utmost effect.

But in The Meaning of Life,
Monty Python humor becomes
less like Lewis Carroll and
more like Jonathon Swift. The
film is often ruthless in expos-
ing the hypocrisies and absur-
dities of contemporary life,
and underneath the basic
silliness of the skits, there is a
ferocity in the Python vision.
As a result, The Meaning of
Life is often not conventional-
ly funny. Most ot the sketches
are deadly serious in their
comic thrusts.

Two sketches in particular,
one about organ transplants
(John Cleese and Graham
Chapman forcily remove the
liver from a living donor) and
one about a monstrously
obese man who alternately
vomits and gorges himself
(thus spewing forth more
vomit), are especially
repugent. Monty Python may
have intended this reaction.
They vomit sketch wallows in

every loathsome detail; it's
hard to imagine the Python
troupe didn't do this inten-
tionally.

But that raises the question
of why they would want to
repell us. It's not mere bad
taste, or obtuseness, or lack of
ability. There is a deliberate,
almost perverse desire to of-
fend.

Monty Python may be stret-
ching the boundaries of humor
on purpose, just to make us
react. There is so much
license in comedy today that
perhaps audiences are becom-
ing complacent and jaded. By
shocking and repelling us,
perhaps the Python members
are forcing us to re-examine
our own comic perspective,
our own values. This aesthetic
approach has been used in
other art forms.

Monty Python's The Mean-
ing of Life is definitely an ex-
perience. It is occasionally
funny in the usual sense, often
bracing in the less conven-
tionally comic sense, but
always interesting. It's not
always enjoyable, which might
be an unusual quality for a
comedy, but this film suggests
that it is going further, com-
menting not only on the more
common comic themes, but
perhaps on aesthetic and
philosophic concepts as well.

The Monty Python gang,
John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham
Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry
Jones and Michael Palin,
might have enough of a follow-
ing to make this film a hit, but
the film is not very comforting
and thus wouldn't normally in-
vite a large group of admirers.
But perhaps there are enough
fanciers of the grotesque, the
scatological and the crude
who will laugh in spite of the
deeper significances and
make this film, like the other
two, popular. That would in-
deed be the finaly irony.

Scott Family Presents Portrait to Agnes Scott

The Scott Family of Decatur and other relatives of Agnes Irvine Scott recently presented a
painted portrait of Mrs. Scott to the Decatur Institution bearing her name, Agnes Scott College.
Mrs. Scott was the mother of the college's chief founder, Col. George Washington Scott. Unveil-
ing the portrait during Agnes Scott Alumnae Day are (left to right) Ellen Scott of Avondale
Estates and Hillary Irvine of Northern Ireland. Hillary, a descendant of Agnes Scott's Irvine
family, was born in the same room of the house in County Down, Ireland where her great-great-
great aunt Agnes was born in 1799. Ellen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Scott of Avondale
Estates, is a great-great-great granddaughter of Agnes Scott. The portrait was commissioned
by one of Agnes Scott's great-great granddaughters, Betty Scott Noble of Decatur, and was
painted by Mrs. Noble's artist friend Alicia Rhett of Charleston, S.C. Agnes Scott President
Ruth Schmidt accepted the portrait for the college from Mrs. Noble, an alumna of the women's
liberal arts college.

This Summer's Movies Lure Leisure Crowd

Campus Digest News Service

The movie industry is hop-
ing for a booming business
this summer as they lure the
leisure crowd and the teenage
market to the theatres with a
promising lineup.

It's going to be sequal sum-
mer at the box office. The third
Star Wars saga, "Return of the
Jedi" leads the list of anxious-
ly awaited seconds. Others in-
clude "Jaws 3-D," "Superman
MT^featur^

"Psycho II," "Porky's: The
Next Day", and "Staying
Alive," (Saturday Night Fever's
sequel featuring John
Travolta.)

And James Bond fans will
be delighted to hear there are
two 007 summer entries.
Choose your favorite secret
agent as Roger Moore is
featured in "Octopussy" and
"Never Say Never" stars the
original 007, Sean Connery.

Other promising summer
flicks include a Steve Martin
comedy "Man With Two
Brains," Richard Gerre's
"Breathless," and "War
Games" which should appeal
to computer fans. For BR fans,
Burt pairs up with a new
blonde, Loni Anderson, for
"Stroker Ace." And Stephen
King's "Cujo" should scare
theatregoers out of their
seats.

Campus Digest News Service

Lovesick, Dudley Moore's
most recent romantic comedy,
is a Freudian slip of a movie.

It is very slight, but makes
up for it by being thoroughly
lovable, entertaining, actually
very sweet. And the nicest
thing about it is the way it
humanizes Freudian theories
by having the ghost of Freud
appear in the form of the
wonderful Alex Guinness and
by investing the Big Daddy of
analysis with a delightful
sense of humor.

Moore portrays Dr. Ben-
jamin, an Upper East Side
Manhattan shrink with fat-cat
clients who earn the right to
bore him for 50 minutes by
spending thousands to lie on
his couch. Lovesick makes
romantic comedy of "counter-
transfeance," or a case of not
only the patient falling in love
with her analyst, but of the
analyst returning the feeling.
In real life, when analysts
engage in lovemaking with
their patients, there is guilt
and rule-breaking and, quite
ofen, multi-million dollar
lawsuits.

But this is clearly Marshall
Brickman's treatment of
romantic comedy, and even
serious problems are turned

into frothy confections by the
writer-director. The satire is
very subtle here, although
well-placed enough to get cer-
tain students of Freud up in
arms. And the emphasis is on
the chemistry between Dudley
Moore's analyst and Elizabeth
McGovern's beautifully pudgy
young patient.

Ron Silver is petulant and
terribly narcissistic as an ac-
tor who takes himself much
too serously; Alan King is a
psychiatrist who takes the
money and runs; the artist
Larry Rivers^ has a very nice
cameo which casts him as an
artist of erotic works and
deeds.

Always with love in their
eyes, Chloe and Dr. Benjamin
can't discover each other
enough in situations that
often are also charmingly fun-
ny.

Dr. Benjamin's dinner with
the psychiatric ethics society
is a particular highlight and
the only moment of rage the
effective emasculation of
Fraud's castration history.

As a film, Lovesick provides,
for far less time and money,
something which analysis
strives to accomplish it
makes you feel good for about
an hour and a half.

Tennis Team Places Fourth Advances to the District
Jenkins, Feese, and Bouldin Reach the State Finals

by Crystal Jones

The National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics State
Tennis Tournament was held
in Rome, Georgia, April 29-30.
The weather was excellent,
not a cloud in the sky. The 10
teams participating in the
tournament were Agnes Scott,
Armstrong, Augusta, Berry,
Brenau, Georgia
Southwestern, North Georgia,
Oglethorpe, Shorter, and West
Georgia. The top five teams
qualified for the District 25
Tournament to be neld May
14-15 at Agnes Scott College.
The first and second place
teams at the District Tourna-
ment will qualify for the Na-
tional Tournament to be held
May 31-June 4 in Overland
Park, Kansas.

Agnes Scott College played
well in the state tournament,
placing fourth overall. Shorter

placed first, Brenau placed se-
cond, West Georgia placed
third, and Armstrong placed
fifth. The flighted tournament
consisted of competition in
six singles and three doubles.
Each player received one point
per win toward the team score
and all seeding was based on
individual player match
records throughout the
season.

Sue Feese seeded no. 4 at
the no. 1 singles position and
advanced to the semi-finals by
defeating Augusta 6-1, 6-0. In
the semi-finals, Sue lost to
Lone Vandborg of Shorter.
Lone Vandborg was the no. 1
tournament seed and won the
no. 1 singles championship.

Virginia Bouldin seeded no.
4 at the no. 2 singles position,
advanced to the semi-finals by
defeating Betty Hull of
Augusta, 6-3, 7-5. In a hard
fought match, Virginia lost to

Kelli Hutchesin, 4-6, 5-7. Hut-
cheson of Shorter won the no.
2 singles position champion-
ship.

Sara Bell won a first round
match over Dana Landsdrum
of Georgia Southwestern, 6-2,
6-1. In another close contest,
Sara lost to Melissa Bucheit of
Armstrong, 6-0, 3-6, 3-6 in the
quarter finals.

Once again Tammy Jenkins,
"The Terror," led the Agnes
Scott team posting wins in the
final round, quarter finals, and
semi-finals, and advancing to
the finals championship at the
no. 5 singles position. Tammy
defeated Stephanie Quarles of
Augusta, 6-0, 6-4, and advanc-
ed to the quarter finals where
she upset the no. 3 seed
Allison McKenzie of Shorter,
2-6, 7-5, 7-5. In the semi-finals,
Tammy defeated the no. 2
seed, Betsy Clements of West
Georgia, 6-0, 6-2. In the finals,

Beer and Cheer: The Collegiate Sport

bv Caroline Bleke

Coordination and mental
agility are integral elements in
any sport. Hopefully, they
work together cohesively in
order that successful play be
guaranteed. It is widely
acknowledged, however, that
college students like to experi-
ment with the "tried and true."
One example of this good-
natured experimentation is the
ritual of drinking games.

These exercises generally
include a convivial group of
students, a Friday afternoon,
and a lot of beer. Now, the set-
ting can vary from a local
drinking establishment to a
dorm room. As this sport is
seasonless, indoor matches
are held during chilly months,
while players are lured out-of-

doors when the weather
warms up.

The underlying purpose of
these games is to introduce a
contest of dexterity, and then
to disturb the equity of mental
liveliness and hand-eye coor-
dination. This inequity is
brought about by the beer con-
sumption. Contestants at-
tempt to perform the par-
ticular act; yet each error re-
quires that the participant im-
bibe a prescribed amount of
brew. The abortive actions
often lead to uncontrollable
hilarity.

"Thumper" is a fast-paced
drinking game. Each player
adopts a signal (i.e. pulling
one's ear), and after a
preliminary chant, the group

goes into a frenzied pan-
tonine of signals. Needless to
say, mistakes are frequent,
and the penalty is stiff. It is not
unusual for players to call
"time out" and retire to the
sidelines for recovery pur-
poses.

''Quarters" pits player
against player in manual skill.
Bouncing a quarter into a
glass of beer is the object. If
accomplished, the "bouncer"
gets to choose another player
to drink the beer. This game
tends to get a bit vindictive.
Often a hapless soul becomes
the victim of the successful
"bouncers." Another bit of ad-
vice: always carry an extra
quarter. One is bound to be
swallowed.

The ASC Dolphin Club Adds New Members

by Sissy Owen

Last Wednesday, April 27,
the Dolphin Club held their
spring quarter tryouts. Con-
gratulations to their new
members: Caroline Chestnut,
Anna Cromer, Vivian Haight,
Cindy McGee, Holly Nelms,
and Colleen O'Neill. The
1983-84 officers are as follows:
President, Cappy Wilkes; Vice-
President, Meggan McGarity;
Secretary, Sharon Bennett;
and representative to Arts
Council, Betty Aitken.

The Dolphin Club's member-
ship has increased by 100%
over the past three years. Ac-
cording to Diane Rickett, the
club had only thirteen
members in 1980. Now, there
is a membership of 27 girls.
Why the sudden increase?
Secretary Sharon Bennett at-

tributes the gain to more ex-
posure of the club. She thinks
that the campus hears more
about Dolphin Club than it us-
ed to and the publicity has
really helped membership.

However, the Dolphin Club
has received more publicity
than just on-campus publicity.
The club performed the Kal
Weekend during spring
quarter, and received coverage
from Weekend Atlanta, a
television news show which
features weekend activities
around Atlanta. In addition to
performing the Kalidiscope,
they also performed for
Sophomore Parents'
Weekend. This is usually the
only performance of the year,
since it takes so much time to
put a show together. However,
Miss Manuel, the club's

The Dance Barre

coach, is contacting several
large Atlanta hotels in hopes
of booking the club's perfor-
mance for conventions.

Although there is usually
only one performance a year,
practices are held all year
long. With tryouts held every
fall and spring quarter, much
time is spent teaching the new
members stunts. The entire
club is also always learning
new ballet movements as well
as constantly building up their
stamina. Winter quarter is
spent preparing for the annual
performance. Students
choreograph the numbers
themselves and the differnt
groups involved in the dif-
ferent numbers meet several
times a week to practice.

Diane Rickett believes that
Agnes Scott is going to see an
even better Dolphin Club in the
years to come.

Tammy lost to Tina Reichert,
and no. 1 seed from Brenau
0-6, 0-6.

Agnes Scott College's Amy
Puckett lost a tough first-
round match to Sara Wall of
Augusta, 6-1, 1-6, 1-6. Tracy
Baker lost her quarter final
match toi Shari Miller of
Brenau in a close match, 6-7,
2-6.

All three Agnes Scott
doubles teams were seeded
and posted quarter final wins.
Sue Feese and Virginia
Bouldin, seeded no. 3, won 7-6,
6-4 over Augusta College, and
advanced to the semi-finals. In
the semi-finals, the strong
Agnes Scott College team pro-
ceeded to the tournament
finals by defeating the no. 2
seeded Brenau team, 6-1, 5-7,
6-1. Feese and Boulden lost to

the no. 1 seeded team from
Shorter in an exciting, power-
ful contest, 2-6, 5-7.

Sara Bell and Amy Puckett,
seeded no. 3, defeated a
steady North Georgia team,
6-3, 3-6, 6-2, to advance to the
semi-finals. Bell and Puckett
lost to a strong Brenau team
2-6, 3-6 in the semi-finals.

Tammy Jenkins and Tracy
Baker were seeded fourth at
the no. 3 doubles flight.
Jenkins and Baker over-
powered Oglethorpe op-
ponents 6-1, 6-2 and advanced
to the semi-finals. In a close
match Jenkins and Baker lost
to Brenau, 1-6, 5-7, 3-6.

The tournament was a great
success; Agnes Scott College
will be able to compete at the
district tournament. Mark your
calendar for May 14-15; come
out and support your team.

Faculty Ties Seniors, 3-3

by Ann Weaver

I'll bet many of you never im-
agined that our Faculty and
Staff could play softball. From
5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, April
26 on Agnes Scott College
softball field, the Faculty-Staff
revealed their abilities to hit,
run, and catch. Many a softball
were found in an unsuspecting
glove.

Some of you may believe
that women of ages 21 and 22
are still in their youth.
However, the seniors of the
class of '83 proved otherwise.
Don't be misled, it was a good
game, but the "Tired Old"
seniors could not pull it out
nor could the Faculty-Staff.
The game ended in a 3-3 tie.

Connie Jones and Sally
MacEwen made one run each,
while Dr. MEBC (Eloise Carter)
made the third run for our
vivacious "Old Bags."

Runs for our "Tired Old"
Boy Scouts were scored by
three individuals. An RBI by
Colleen McCoy sent Becky
Moore to the plate. Sue Scott
tripled past shortshop to send
Amy Potts to score. Amy
Little's single to shortstop
gave Sue Scott room to get
home, bringing the total to 3
points.

Nancy Manson, a new
player from Virginia, joined the
Faculty-Staff team to play
third base. Her hitting ability
proved to be an asset when
she hit a fly to center knocking
in Connie Jones. A full-swing

secured her run to first base,
but Connie Jones' hit caused
P. W. to be thrown out at se-
cond. Connie Jones, however,
made it to second on an over-
throw in that same play. Mar-
cia Mitchell hit a fly to center
and sent Eloise Carter and Sal-
ly MacEwen home, tallying
three points.

The two most spectacular
plays were made by Jet Harper
and Eloise Carter. Jet, playing
centerfield, ran to the ball with
eyes closed to catch a fly
Jet apparently used sound
waves to find the ball as it rip-
ped through the air into her
glove. Eloise Carter made a
courageous stumbling catch
behind co-worker Nancy Man-
son on third for the second out
of the third inning.

The seniors, as usual, seem-
ed to cover the field like a
blanket. Except for some jug-
gling and near catches, the
seniors played with their
outstanding energy and
quickness. The player's
thanks go to the umpires; from
the ASC-ABL, H. Edward
Wistrand, and from the ASC-
NBL, J. Frances Pilger. They
also thanked the crowd for
their attempted "two bits",
"four bits" cheer!

The Faculty-Staff team end-
ed the day feeling victorious.
They showed their spirit with
their "O.B." (Old Bags)) cheer!

The winning pitchers were
Jeanie Morris for the class of
'83, and Sally MacEwen for the

seniors have now tied two
games and the Faculty-Staff
have tied one, rained out one.

SGA Survey Reveals A Desire for Change

by Helen Stacey

After tabulating the results
of the SGA survey taken May
2-4, there is a clear-cut indica-
tion that many students are
anxious for changes in various
social regulations at Agnes
Scott.

First of all, a majority of the
176 students who participated
seem to favor expanded
parietals. 78% declared that
they would like to see Satur-
day night.parietals. Additional-
ly, 90% said they favored Sun-
day afternoon parietals: a
mere 9% reported experienc-
ing problems with Friday night
parietals.

In fact, an overwhelming
number of students expressed
very positive views concerning
the newly implemented Friday
night parietals, although
several people suggested that
parietals commence at a later
time in order to allow students
more time for preparation for
the evening's activities.

One student even voiced her
amazement that this was the
first time SGA had taken a
survey on the possibility of
Saturday night parietals.
Another student, reflecting a
somewhat common viewpoint,
wrote that "ASC's parietal
policies are totally outdated.
Even other small, liberal arts,
Southern women's colleges
have much longer parietals."
One survey participant offered
a viable option for updating
Agnes Scott's parietals:

... we need to be working
toward a more extensive, more
flexible, more reasonable
parietal system, a system to
be implemented in the near
future. I know that there are
students who would rather not
have any parietals, and there
will always be some. To ac-
comodate this difference in
preferences, possibly some
dorms could have more exten-
sive parietals, and others not
have any . . .

At any rate, the survey
results substantiate a general
approval of Saturday night
parietals.

The questions concening
the wording of titles reveal
less uniformity. 55% favor
referring to the leaders of
Honor Court, Interdorm, Orien-
tation Council, and BSA as
president. 31 % feel that the ti-
tle should remain chairman;
14% opt for the title of chair;
only 4% favor chairwoman.
When questioned about ap-
propriate titles for presiding
officers of committees, 51%
voted for the traditional titles
of chairman; 40% favored
chair; chairwoman only
garnered the support of 9% of
the students.

Not surprisingly, the com-

ments on the subject of the in-
clusive language tended to be
somewhat heated. Much
discontentment was express-
ed with the use of the term
"chair," whereas many ac-
cepted the use of "man" as a

generic term. Yet numerous
students dismissed the entire
issue as petty. As one student
claims, "It shouldn't matter
what the leader is called
just what she does." Rep
Council will use the findings

of the survey to formulate a
recommendation on the wor-
ding of titles which will be sub-
mitted to the organizations in-
volved.

On the matter of Agnes
Scott's alcohol policy, 44% of

President Ruth Schmidt held an outside convocation May 4 in the amphitheatre.

Issues Addressed at Convocation

by Susan Whitten

President Schmidt held an
informal convocation at 11:30
a.m. Wednesday, May 4 in the
amphitheater. The mixed
crowd of faculty, administra-
tion and students asked ques-
tions about various current
issues on campus.

President Schmidt opened
with the good news that to
date 133 women are enroll-
ed in the freshmen class for
next year. This figure is ap-
proximately ten students
ahead of the 1982-83 freshmen
class. President Schmidt,
therefore, believes admissions
will reach the target mark of
152 students for the freshmen
class. (This increase would
raise the size of the student
body to 540, the 1981 level). On
the other hand, Mary Kay Jar-
boe, Registrar, reported the
number of returning students
re-registered for next year is
slightly behind that of last
year at this time.

The first question inquired
about the results of the con-
sulting firm's assessment of
Agnes Scott's computer
needs. President Schmidt

reported that this firm had
made recommendations in
both the academic and ad-
ministrative areas. In the
academic area, these con-
sultants reported that the
community is most ready to
use the computer. "They
recommended buying clusters
of micro-computers and main-
taining connection to the
Emory system (for research
purposes)," said President
Schmidt. On the ad-
ministrative side, however,
there is less expertise.
Therefore, the needs must be
further assessed. Although
the college will begin to build
up the computer system for
the academic areas this sum-
mer, "we won't buy this
machinery for the administra-
tion immediately." After fur-
ther investigation, a computer
system will be installed in the
administrative area over a two
to three year period," said
President Schmidt.

The idea of increasing com-
munication between Agnes
Scott and Spelman Colleges
at both the student and the
faculty levels was also

discussed. Since Donald
Justice introduced this idea in
his speech on Founder's Day,
it has advanced into the plann-
ing stages. Recently, meetings
have been held between both
the faculty and student
government representatives of
the two schools. They have
discussed mixing both
academically and socially. The
ideas suggested include shar-
ing disciplinary clubs, interest
groups, athletic events and a
volunteer network focusing on
women's issues. Sharing
faculty and courses not of-
fered on both campuses are
also possible benefits.

Lastly, the newly named
position Vice President for
Development and Public Rela-
tions was discussed. Presi-
dent Schmidt informed the
students that two candidates
for the position would be
brought to campus on May 6
and 7 and May 10 and 11. At
this time there would be an op-
portunity for them to meet
with faculty representatives,
the Development staff, alum-
nae and students.

the students view it as ade-
quate, whereas 49% feel that
it is too strict. Many of the
students who are satisfied
with the present policy,
however, expressed a discon-
tent with certain aspects of
the drinking policy. A common
complaint involves the policy
forbidding students to drink in
the halls; "an archaic rule that
should have gone with
Edsels," one student wrote.
Many of those surveyed also
felt that more places on cam-
pus should be available for the
consumption of alcohol.

As previously mentioned
during the discussion of
parietals, several students feel
that Agnes Scott's social
regulations are somewhat an-
tiquated in comparison with
other women's colleges. One
student writes that the at-
tempt to regulate drinking off-
campus "is a very Puritan and
idealistic view of a dwindling
minority."

In general, most of the
students were adamant in
thinking that Honor Court's
jurisdiction should not extend
off-campus. Innumerable com-
ments such as "we should not
feel like we have to play
policemen for minors off-
campus" and "Agnes Scott
tries too hard to dictate
morality" reveal the strong
current of dissatisfaction with
this aspect of the drinking
policy.

Additionally, the general
consensus is that it simply is
not possible to enforce the
drinking code off-campus. One
student writes:

I sincerely believe that
restricting Honor Court's
jurisdiction to the campus on-
ly (as far as the alcohol policy
is concerned) would
strengthen our system. As it is
now, the drinking policy is not
enforced, and makes our
system hypocritical and incon-
sistent.

This theme was repeatedly
emphasized in numerous com-
plaints that the drinking policy
only works by selective en-
forcement (i.e., certain minors
are turned in by people who
are out to "get them").

Apparently, a definite need
to re-evaluate the Agnes Scott
alcohol policy exists. The
survey results and comments
will be turned over to Honor
Court. 69% of the students
supported a drinking lounge in
the Hub; 30% opposed it. Con-
sequently, Catalyst Commit-
tee will investigate the
feasibility of establishing
such a room in the Hub. The
results of the Budget Commit-
tee survey will be discussed at
a later date.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

MONDAY, MAY 16, 1983

by Rachel E. McConnell

'What can you possibly do
with an English major?" That
question can be rephrased to
include any major in the liberal
arts educational preparation.
Ours is a generation that sees
education as a means to an
end; the acquisition of a
career. The practicality of
many of our majors here have
come under attack for failing
to meet the practicality of our
age.

If the subject is researched
it becomes evident that the
liberal arts major is a
marketable skill and that past
graduates have been able to
use that skill to obtain suc-
cessful positions. Graduate,
Law and Medical schools are
beginning to realize the value
of the liberal arts experience.
Dean Gary said of John Stone,
the director of admissions at
the Emory Medical School,
"He believes in the value of

the liberal arts education and
is pleased with the work ASC
graduates have done in the
medical program there."

Dean Gary continued by
pointing out that graduates
with a variety of majors have
continued in a multiplicity of
areas and are highly suc-
cessful. For example, Burlette
Carter, a political science ma-
jor class of 1982. is attending
Harvard Law School, one of
the top 15 law schools in the
country. Nancy Rhodes, an
ASC graduate, has recently
been promoted to Vice-
President of the Federal
Reserve. Ann Walker, a
classics major, has recently
completed Medical school at
UNC and is soon to initiate her
own practice in Charlotte,
North Carolina.

The list can be extended to
include participants in all
areas of the working and pro-
fessional worlds. The success
of our graduates coupled with
a growing respect for the
liberal arts education answers
the question posed above
with, "Anything to which my
initiative and diversified
education can lead."

1984 Education Budget Slashed

by Meg Jenkins

Please consider the follow-
ing points:

1. Although Fall Grants
("Self-Help Grants") would in-
crease from 2.4 billion to 2.7
billion, the number of reci-
pients would be decreased
due to stricter eligibility rules.

2. Students would be ex-
pected to pay 40 percent (a
minimum of $800) of their
educational expenses over
and above their expected fami-
ly contribution. This "self-
help" portion is expected to be
generated through student
summer earnings, part-time
jobs, College Work-Study, and
loans both Guaranteed and
National Direct Student
Loans. This comes at a time of
record unemployment, pro-
posals for youth sub-minimum
wages, and major changes
proposed in both student loan
programs.

3. Federal dollars for Na-
tional Direct Student Loans
(NDSL), Supplemental Educa-
tional Opportunity Grants
(SEOG), and State Student In-
centive Grants (SSIG) would
be eliminated, resulting in the
loss of over one million grants

Death .

by Tracey Veal

"In the last analysis we must
love in order to not fall ill and
must fall ill when, in the conse-
quences of frustration we can-
not love."

Sigmund Freud

About 6:45 a.m. last
Wednesday morning I was
awakened by a phone call
from the beau of a dear
childhood friend (who, for the
purpose of this article, I will
refer to as Mary) who had com-
mitted suicide. I was greatly
saddened not so much by the
fact that Mary had committed
suicide, but more so by the
precipitating factors which
seem to have contributed to
the incident.

The first question that
comes to mind in a situation
such as this is why did it hap-
pen. Mary was in many ways
similar to an Agnes Scott stu-
dent. She was a "good" stu-
dent, she attended an Ivy
League women's college. Ac-
cording to her peers she was
relatively well-adjusted. So
again one must ask the ques-

Is Not The Life For Me

tion why. After reading one of
Mary's suicide notes, which in-
cidently arrived in the mail the
day after the occurence, I can
better understand her situa-
tion.

Mary had been seriously
dating a guy at another Ivy
League college nearby. During
this period of time, the guy
(who I will call John) had
become the essence of Mary's
life. She was not to any degree

Society leads
one to believe
that without a
man one is
less of a
woman

involved in any activities
unless these activities
somehow involved John. She
had few friends and little time
for anyone or anything except
John. Rarely did a day pass
when she did not see John. If
for some reason or another
John was unable to see her
she pouted. In short, Mary had
become a dependent per-

sonality. When John wasn't
around, other than study, Mary
"could not find anything else
to do." This fact, not so much
the actual act of suicide, is the
tragedy. It is a shame and a
pity that so many young
women fit the 'Mary profile.'

Mary's life or death rather
seems futile unless there is
something to be learned. Mary
committed suicide when John
threatened to terminate the
relationship. Mary felt as if
she was somewhat a lesser
person without John. Society,
to a certain extent, leads one
to believe that without a man
one is less of a woman. This is
surely not the case. I do not
know if Mary's suicide is in
part due to this fallacy.
However, I do know that we
are all guilty of at one time or
another, 'putting all of our
eggs in one basket' be that
basket in the form of studying,
a beau, etc. We so often
become secure in our own lit-
tle worlds that we cannot see
beyond them. Perhaps we all
need to reevaluate our present
situations in these terms. I
really hate to think that Mary
indeed died in vain. . .

and loans, and less discretion
for each financial aid office in
determining a student's aid
package. Although the Pell
Grant maximum would be in-
creased from $1,800 to $3,000,
this new maximum (limited to
students with total costs ex-
ceeding $7,000) is less than
the amount a student with
demonstrated maximum need
could receive under the cur-
rent system of Pell, SEOG, and
SSIG.

4. Although there is an in-
crease in College Work-Study
from $540 million to $850
million, there would not
necessarily be either enough
jobs on campus or enough
hours for students to work to
utilize the additional federal
monies in their aid packages.

5. If the Guaranteed Student
Loan Program (GSL) were en-
tirely need-based, middle in-
come students attending
moderate cost institutions
would become ineligible for a
GSL, and thereby unable to
meet the required 40 percent
self-help contribution. Also,
the proposed increase in the
graduate student loan origina-
tion fee from 5 to 10 percent
would significantly increase
student debt burden, while
decreasing the relative "buy-
ing power" of a GSL at a time
of skyrocketing tuition costs.

Therefore, further costs in
the GSL program are unwar-
ranted; in fact, $900 million
saved due to declining interest
rates should be used to

restore some of the previous
cuts in student aid programs.

6. The TRIO programs
(Special Services for Students
from Disadvantaged
Backgrounds), which include
Talent Search and Upward
Bound, would be altered
dramatically under the Presi-
dent's proposals to serve only
those students attending
predominately minority-
enrollment institutions. Fun-
ding wouid be reduced by 77
percent from the FY '83 level
of $154.7 million to $35 million.
In addition, TRIO is targeted
for a FY '83 recision of $29.6
million. This vital educational
opportunity program currently
serving over 493,000
economically and educational-
ly disadvantaged students
should not be cut or restricted
to students attending certain
institutions.

7. I firmly believe that the
Administration's proposals for
Education Savings Accounts
should in no way constitute an
alternative to existing student
aid programs.

As students, we should be
fundamentally concerned that
there be a continuing federal
commitment to education in
general, and to student
assistance in particular. The
President's education budget,
entitled "Federal Educational
Activities" rather than "U. S.
Department of Education,"
calls once again for the aboli-
tion of the Department.

Rep Rap

by Helen Stacey
SGA Vice-president

Lately, Tuesday night Rep Council meetings have been
quite long. One of the issues which has provoked lengthy
discussions concerns the selection of campus boards. As
was mentioned in the April 25 Rep Rap, SGA elections are
now under the jurisdiction of a newly formed Elections Board,
which is comprised of Sissy Owen and Tiz Faison from Rep
Council, and Frances Harrell and Cheryl Carlson from Mortar
Board. This board will ensure that the SGA elections of stu-
dent officers and representatives will run smoothly and fairly.

Yet there is nothing in existence which assures that the
selection by petition of the various councils on campus will
be totally just. (Of course, this year's newly elected officers
have obviously done an excellent job of choosing their board
members. In the past, however, many have voiced complaints
concerning the unfairness or inadequacy of the petition
system.)

Consequently, Rep debated establishing a Petitions Board.
The Executive Boards of the various organizations would still
select those they thought most qualified. Undoubtedly, they
are the only ones informed enough to choose those people
that could best fulfill the duties of that particular council. The
Petitions Board would simply review the chosen petitions to
make sure that the people chosen were qualified and that the
entire selection was carried out in an Impartial just manner.
Then a vote of approval or non-approval would be taken.

At any rate, the motion to establish a Petitions Board did
not pass. Another motion was immediately made, however,
stipulating that a Grievance Committee be provided on the
Elections Board. Hence any student who felt that they had
been unjustly discriminated against in the petitions process
could appeal to the Grievance Committee. In turn, the
Grievance Committee would investigate that validity of the
complaint and make a suggestion based on their findings to
the Executive Board of that particular council.

Under this proposal, the elected officers would retain com-
plete authority over the selection of their members. Yet a
system of checks and balances would exist. Students are urg-
ed to let Rep members aware of their feelings on this matter,
preferably before the issue is voted on tomorrow night.

In addition, the precise definition of what a petition should
contain has been clarified in the Student Handbook. One final
piece of good news the faculty has approved the inclusion
of non-voting student members on the Curriculum Commit-
tee, the Academic Standards Committee, and the Committree
on the Future of the College. Those students interested will
petition before Rep Council early next fall.

Steering Committee Conducts Self-Study

Since October 19, the 13
members of Agnes Scott's
Self-Study Committee have
been hard at work on the col-
lege's re-accreditation. The
Southern Association of Col-
leges and Schools requires all
accredited institutions to go
through the proces of Self-
Study every 10 years. In 1907,
the year after the Agnes Scott
Institute became Agnes Scott
College, it achieved the
distinction of becoming the
first college or university to
receive regional accreditation
from the SACS, a fledgling

organization founded in 1895.

This Self-Study has a high
potential to serve as a plann-
ing exercise for Agnes Scott,
coinciding as it does with the
beginning of a new presidency
and the approach of the col-
lege's centennial. In a letter to
the members of the Self-Study
Committee, President Schmidt
expressed these thoughts:

"It is my hope that the pro-
cess of self-study and the re-
accreditation visit will provide
a firm foundation for a
strategic plan for Agnes
Scott's future. An assessment

of where we are, our strengths
and weaknesses, should sure-
ly provide the background
necessary for the development
of specific means to
strengthen this fine institution
as it moves towards its
centennial year in 1989."

The Self-Study Committee
consists of three students,
Alicia Parades, Sallie Rowe,
and Kathy Scott, three
members of the college ad-
ministration, and seven
members of the faculty. Dr. J.
Davison Phillips, President of
Columbia Theological
Seminary and Chair of the
Board of Trustees, Self-Study
Committee, is also considered
a member of the Steering
Committee. Dr. Michael Brown
is chair of the Steering Com-
mittee.

Elaborate questionnaires
were distributed to each in-
dividual student and faculty
member which covered the
whole range of the college's
life and work. Each ad-
ministrative staff person was
also given a questionnaire.
Questions were submitted for
consideration by faculty, ad-
ministration and staff person-
nel and the three question-
naires were reviewed and ap-

proved by the Self-Study Com-
mittee. The student question-
naire achieved a response rate
of 93%. The faculty response
rate was 96%.

The results of these ques-
tionnaires, along with those of
an alumnae questionnaire
sent to 802 members of the
classes of 1974, 1976, 1978,
1980, and 1982, and a ques-
tionnaire for the academic
departments were made
available to the subcommit-
tees. These subcommittees
were appointed to handle
specific areas of college life.
Having gathered information
from the questionnaires, the
separate committees are now
compiling reports in their area.
On June 10, these reports will
be completed and submitted
to Mrs. Gigi Muirheid, an
Agnes Scott alumna and the
editor of the Self-Study. By
this fall, Mrs. Muirheid will
write the overall report.

During the fall, the Self-
Study report will be made
available to the Agnes Scott
community for an institutional
review. This will give the com-
mittee the chance to catch er-
rors and identify any areas of
strenuous disagreements. A

GSA Hosts Financial Aid Forum at ASC

Although many may not
realize it, the Georgia Student
Association remains busy
throughout the year on a varie-
ty of issues which affect all
college students. These topics
range from voter registration
to the drinking age to financial
aid.

This past Saturday,
Rebekah Reception Room

was made by Sharon Core, cur-
rently serving as chair of the
GSA sub-committee of Agnes
Scott's Student Government
Association. A question and
answer session then followed,
allowing the audience and
panelists a chance to ex-
change ideas and information.

hosted a public hearing, allow-
ing students the opportunity
to voice their concerns about
the future federal education
budget and the financial aid
allotment which would result.
The panelists, representative
of both federal and state
governments, included Tom
Daniels, assistant in the
Chancellor's office of the
Board of Regents; Don Payton,
Executive Director of the
Georgia Student Finance
Commission; Chris Riggell,
staff assistant to Con-
gressman Wyche Fowler; and
Tim Sutton, Staff assistant to
Congressman Elliott Levitas.
These men received testimony
from Carl Walker, SGA Presi-
dent of Morris Brown College;
Cletis Cotton, representative
of Georgia State University;
and Meg Jenkins, rising senior
at Agnes Scott College, who
represented both ASC and
GSA. A personal statement

top priority of legislators when
appropriating the federal
budget. For the past few years,
the education budget has re-
mained the same common-
ly referred to as "level
funding." When reviewing the
national deficit, this may seem
like a practical solution, but
when one takes into account
inflation, among other factors,
the "buying power" of such a
budget has been shrinking.
The present administration
has proposed a similar budget
for Fiscal Year 1984, including
a major restructuring of the
current financial aid system.
Proposed changes are as
follows:

a major overhauling of
the Pell Grant, increasing the
award, yet making this the
sole grant program, while also
changing the requirements;
the Pell award would be
available only after the stu-
dent has acquired a 40% self-

help requirement of total
education costs

in exchange for higher
Pell Grants, the student aid
programs of Supplemental
Grants (SEOG), Direct Loans
(NDSL), and State Scholarship
Incentives (SSIG) would all be
eliminated

college work-study would
be increased to accommodate
the new self-help requirement,
but hourly wages may be
lowered

expected family contribu-
tions would be increased
about 7% and the factors con-
sidered in computing the fami-
ly contribution would be
reduced so that students from
families with over $12,000 in
income could expect to lose
all or part of their grants.

Because of the serious con-
sequences such restructuring
would have on a great many
students throughout the state,
GSA felt a public hearing
would be necessary to inform
our legislators of the
devastating effects. The infor-
mation presented will become
part of an extensive report
compiled from information
received by the 14 other states

begun to recognize the need
for an increase in education
aid. Friday, the Senate voted
to add $250 million in federal
aid to education by a vote of
55-32. Senator Sam Nunn
voted in favor of such an in-
crease, stating at his Youth
Committee meeting in Macon
that this is the only increase
he can justify voting in favor of
in a year with such a deficit
budget.

Unfortunately, not many
students attended. Those who
did attend, including a student
from Georgia Tech and the
President of Morris Brown Col-
lege, as well as the panelists,
gained a great deal from the
informative session. Students
can make a difference. It
would be very impressive to
legislators if students
displayed the same en-
thusiasm for educational
issues, as they did (and will)
for issues such as the drinking
age. Students interested in the
issue of financial aid are en-
couraged to submit personal
statements concerning the ef-
fects such legislation would
have both on them as
students, and their school as

about educational issues as they

who held similar hearings, and
this report will be distributed
the Department of Education
and members of the U.S.
Senate and House. Fortunate-
ly, since budget deliberation
has begun, Congress has

an institution of higher learn-
ing. These should be submit-
ted to Nancy Patierno, who
will forward them to the
panelists who attended the
hearing, in addition to other
legislators.

SACS will then visit the cam-
pus sometime next April. Hav-
ing already received a copy of
the report, they will interview
students, faculty, and ad-
ministration. They will make
recommendations to which
Agnes Scott will be required to
respond. Then the visiting
committee will recommend to
the SACS that Agnes Scott
College be re-accredited.

The Self-Study Committee,
however, is not waiting for the
visiting accreditation commit-
tee to suggest changes. While
in the process of writing their
reports, the subcommittees
are making recommendations,
which the steering committee
then votes upon.

The results of the various
questionnaires are now
available to the Agnes Scott
community. They are on
reserve in the library. These
questionnaires raised issues
which are already being ad-
dressed on campus. A faculty
forum has been held to
discuss issues which, as in-
dicated by responses on facul-
ty and departmental reports,
are of great concern to a
substantial number of faculty
members. These issues in-
clude a concern about a lack
of clarity about requirements
for promotion and tenure, the
importance of publication,
what basis will be used to
make reductions in the faculty
complement if those reduc-
tions should become
necessary, and the sabbatical
leave policy. The forum was
purely an informal discussion
with the President attending.
A sequel to the meeting is
planned.

Rep. Council has a copy of
the results of the student
questionnaire. They intend to
identify areas in which there
are problems and formulate
measures to correct them.

The Self-Study Committee
is hoping that the process of
Self-Study will generate a
whole series of reform
measures. They have already
brought recommendations to
President Schmidt. Dr. Brown
says that although the real
purpose of the Self-Study is to
win re-accreditation for the
college, its greatest value is in
identifying ways to improve
Agnes Scott.

Gonzalez Speaks About
Women in Developing Nations

by Peggy Schweers

Nancy Gonzalez, Phi Beta
Kappa lecturer, came to Agnes
Scott College May 5-6, 1983.
An anthropologist, Gonzalez
lectured on the topic, "Women
in Developing Nations."
Following economic develop-
ment as an indicator of social
development, Gonzalez outlin-
ed her lecture as the develop-
ment of professionalism
among women. A profession is
defined as 1) an occupation re-
quiring formal education (ap-
prenticeship to graduate
school) and 2) symbols of
recognition (from feathers to
bumper stickers).

Historically, women have
had a variety of roles to play
within each society. In
developing countries there is
an imbalance of change caus-
ed by increasing population.
Now women survive childbirth
and more children survive in-
fancy.

The role of women is
therefore tied more and more
to the children. However, since
the women who have children
have so many, there is less
need for all women to have
children.

Before the changes induced
by advanced medical
knowledge, it was important
that each woman bear
children, a contribution on
which survival of the tribe,
clan or family depended. To-
day many more women are
entering secondary and post-

secondary education in
developing nations and get-
ting professional training.
There is a resulting bottleneck
of qualified, educated women
who have no accepted social
role available to them except
as mothers and in some
cases, teachers.

Task specialization in the
past was also linked to the
biological role that women
play in societies. Women were
not hunters, but gatherers,
primarily because they needed
to save their calories for lacta-
tion when bearing or nursing a
child. Strength and endurance
traits needed for hunting are
not relegated to the males.
Birth can only be accomplish-
ed by women.

Gonzalez commented that
psychiatry and obstetrics can
be listed as the oldest profes-
sion of women. Prostitution
came later.

Their professionalism, Gon-
zalez remarked, was not linked
to a special place, the office or
the home. The first level of pro-
fessionalism was related to
the physical and mental health
of the group in general, and
other women in particular.

With the formation of an in-
dustrial society, this last
aspect changed, and still is
changing today. Men no
longer left the home for long
periods of time to hunt. Nor
did the men necessarily have
to do the heavy farm work.
Work in the town meant that

Meet Amnesty International

by Peggy Schweers

Craig Rock, National Direc-
tor of Amnesty International
Campus Network, spoke May
3 at a faculty Tabletalk. Rock
described the history and the
hopes of Amnesty Interna-
tional, recipient of the 1977
Nobel Peace prize. The
organization is "a worldwide
movement of people working
for the release of prisoners of
conscience, for fair trials for
political prisoners, and for an

end to torture and the death
penalty."

Emory University will be
hosting the Annual meeting of
the AI-USA from June 10,
1983-June 12, 1983. Registra-
tion is open until May 27. Stu-
dent fee is $5 ($15 otherwise)
plus $8 to attend a banquet

men went out of the home for
their profession and women
stayed home, many of their
former tasks taken care of by
new farming procedures and
more male professions like
medicine were developed. Men
were usually in good supply,
and women were relegated to
the lower echelons of occupa-
tions.

To better illustrate the situa-
tion of women in developing
countries, Gonzalez compared
them to the women in 19th
century New England. Educa-
tion had opened up to women,
but there was no specific pro-
fession for them to move into
except for marriage. Teaching,
nursing and librarianship is
considered the second level of
female professional ism.
Parallels to this are easy to
find in some developing Latin
American countries where up
to 90% of lower level teachers
are women. Frontierism was
part of this trend the men
were often going West to ex-
plore, leaving the women to
some professions which men
had previously occupied.

In the early 20th century, in-
tern at ional professional
groups grew, as women look-
ed together to make a place
for themselves so that they
would no longer be "an elite of
the powerless."

While western women have
been over-protected which
was useful at the time, some
moved into a stage of preferr-
ing separation. In this, they
could succeed in their own cir-
cle, and find an identity among
women like at a women's col-
lege, or in a female profes-
sional society. The "real
power" is not tapped by that,
and the next stage is to join in
realm, of men and send
women in high elected posi-
tions, changing the structure
as needed. Only when the
"real power" is under in-
fluence of women will the
potential for female profes-
sionalism be reached.
Domestic situations are in flux
now, as there is not yet a set
pattern of behavior to accom-
modate the department from
"Blondie and Dagwood"
homes. Often a woman who
holds a professional position
hires a female domestic aid to
accomplish all that her role
demands, professionally and
domestically. Statistics show
that 62% of all married women
with husbands and children at
home are working. (That does
not include single, divorced or
separated women.)

In conclusion, cooperation
between husband and wife,
coworkers consist of Gonzalez
upbeat' response to the situa-
tion. The developing nations
may be able to skip over our
present problems, and find a
solution that does not include
a confusion transition which
the nations from the USA to
the USSR are facing today.
Our hindsight can become
their foresight.

Each summer seems to find
us searching for the coolest
options in dressing. Of course,
we want these clothes to have
a crisp and clean look; to be
soft and feminine. Summer
whites in light cottons provide
the answer to all our needs.
The best bets: pretty summer
dresses with lacy accents.
This type dress captures the
romantic mood of summers
filled with relaxation giving
an effortless image of sereni-
ty. Picture a white sundress
with a pleated bodice and a
lace trimmed full skirt. Sash it
at the waist with a pastel pink
scarf. Add white ballet flats. It
is easy to see how summer
white dressing has become as
popular as it is. Any white skirt
with a flounce of ruffles paired
with a lacy white blouse will
make the wearer feel roman-
tic, feminine.

For the office try a crisp
white linen suit. A good sum-
mer suit is actually an ex-
cellent investment: many out-
fits can be made from the one
suit. Pair any number of
blouses or sweaters with the
skirt to be worn with or
without the blazer. The blazer
can be added to other suits, or
to a sundress for office wear,
or for church. An interesting
touch to any combination of
this suit is a straw hat, trim-
med in a complementary color
of the outfit.

For evenings the easiest
slip of a white camisole tops a
flowered skirt. For cool nights
add a white blazer. Accentuate
the blazer with a handkerchief

in a color taken from the skirt
in the pocket. Strappy san-
dals, and perhaps fresh
flowers worn in the hair, com-
plete the look. The extra
special detail to add: a strand
of pearls at the neck. For fun,
extending the theme of fresh
flowers in the hair, if the occa-
sion permits, try a garland of
flowers wrapped around the
head.

The best place to pick up a
summer white dress is not the
local department store. In-
stead, head for the nearest
thrift store or antique clothing
store. Not only do these stores
offer clothing at prices far
below what is normally found
in department stores, but the
stores also sell authentic
period clothing. Chances are,
the high quality of the fabric
and the careful workmanship
of the garment make these
clothes true bargains. You can
find antique lace dresses, old
petticoats and camisoles, and
lace blouses. You can also
pick up wonderful ac-
cessories: old white shoes,
lace edged handkerchiefs, and
even a white parasol, for fun. If
you would rather head out to
the mall, however, to do your
shopping, Laura Ashley at
Lenox Square offers charming
and romantic clothing that has
a country charm.

Wearing white in the sum-
mer does not mean limiting
yourself to one dress. Buy
separates in order to mix and
match outfits for day and
night. White is appropriate
anytime, anywhere.

Southern Rural Family,
Topic Of Conference

by Tracey Veal

Recently, the College of
Home Economics and the
Georgia Center for Continuing
Education of the University of
Georgia, held its first con-
ference on the southern rural
family. The objectives of the
conference were "to foster
skill development in assisting
rural families and to survey
new directions in research,
higher education, extension
and community programs aim-
ed at identifying and meeting
rural family needs."

Why study the southern
rural family? The South is
more rural than any other
region in the nation. The
children in southern states,
particularly in the rural areas,
are more disadvantaged than
their counterparts in the rest
of the nation. As Dr. Caroline
Dillman states, "In educating
the children in this country,
the problems are greatest and
the deficits largest for
residents of the southeastern
states. Triply disadvantaged
then, are the lower-class rural
southern children."

Dr. Caroline Dillman, assis-
tant professor of Sociology,
was invited to address one of
several sessions at the con-
ference. Her topic was
"Southern Rural Parents:
Orientation Toward Education
and Upward Mobility for Their
Children." Dr. Dillman's work
in this area, began informally
in 1972, and culminated with
her dissertation titled
Southern Rural Culture: Its Ef-
fect On Children's Education
(1979). She has presented
numerous papers on the sub-

ject at the meetings of na-
tional and regional profes-
sional organizations including
the American Education
Research Association and the
Rural Sociological Society.
Her research on this subject
continues and she is presently
conducting a follow-up study
of the original sample. Dr.
Dillman's presentation focus-
ed on a sample of 22 children
from white-working class rural
families in a mill village in
Georgia. Thus, her findings
were particularly relevant to
the theme of the conference.
Working-class white rural
southerners responded
positively toward education
and upward mobility; however,
closer examination revealed
that their "expressed
behavior" was negative. For
example, many of the parents
responded positively to the
question of whether they
wanted their children to attend
college.

Thus, one might expect
many of the working-class
white rural southern children
to attend college. Few, if any,
of these children do attend.
How does one account for this
contradiction? Few parents
had actually taken steps to en-
sure that their children attend-
ed high school regularly or did
their homework. Only one set
of parents had taken any
measure regarding a child's
college education. According
to Dr. Dillman, "Qualitative
research is imperative in a
study of such a subpopulation
in order to ferret out the
underlying cultural im-
pediments."

Alumna Wins Pulitzer Prize

by Debbie McLaughlin

Plowing through the mun-
dane routine of college life,
studying, taking tests, and
planning schedules, students
sometimes feel their steadfast
efforts will never amount to
anything of great significance.
Maybe Marsha Norman felt
the same way back in the
1960's.

Announced as the 1983
Pulitzer Prize winner for drama
on April 18, the now 35-year-
old Ms. Norman attended
Agnes Scott from the fall of
1965 to the spring of 1968. She
majored in philosophy and
was known to students and
faculty as Marsha Williams.

Set in an ordinary house on
a lonely country road, her
Pulitzer play "Night, Mother"
involves a young woman who
decides to commit suicide one
night while she is in the
presence of her aging mother.
As Mel Gussow says in his ar-
ticle in the New York Times
Magazine, "Night, Mother"
becomes the heart-rendering
battle for the daughter's life.
The horrified mother tries
every possible method of
dissuasion while the daughter
calmly puts their house in
order." Gussow also points
out that the play leaves "a
conclusion that asserts one's
right to control one's life even
to the point of suicide."

One may wonder how Ms.
Norman conceived of such a
theme for her play. Yet, if one
looks back into Ms. Norman's
history, she will notice that her
life has not always been New
York, Broadway, and roses.

During the time she attend-
ed Agnes Scott, Gussow
states, "She worked for two
years as a volunteer in the
pediatric burn unit of Grady
Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
It was the first of several ef-
forts to confront life-and-death
situations."

After Ms. Norman left
Decatur in 1968, she returned
to her hometown of Louisville,
Kentucky, and married a
teacher, Michael Norman.
(They were divorced in 1974
but she kept his name.) During
this time, she found a job at
Central State Hospital in
Louisville working with
disturbed children. According
to Ms. Norman in her interview
with Gussow, "It was a
desperately unhappy situa-
tion, full of visible pain."

Over the years, Ms. Norman
also taught gifted children and
worked as a journalist writing
the Jellybean Journal, a col-
umn for children in the
Louisville Times.

When asked by Nancy
Malitz in an interview for USA
Today whether or not she had
prepared herself to become a
major voice in American
theater, Ms. Norman replied,
"My sense of it is that the
most important thing is not
the how but the what . . . The
real question to ask is, 'Just
what, exactly, is it that I want

to do? Most people don't
decide that. They just go about
getting things in a random, un-
directed way." Norman, too. "I
had wandered in the world for
10 years," she admits.

It was not until Ms. Norman
was 29 that Jon Jory, produc-
ing director of the Actors
Theater of Louisville, commis-
sioned her to write a play. As
Gussow informs, "The result
was the uncompromising 'Get-
ting Out,' an off-Broadway
success in 1979, drawn from
her experiences working with
disturbed children at Central
State Hospital.

In addition, Gussow states,
"In common with 'Getting
Out,' which dealt with a young
woman on her release from
prison, " 'Night, Mother" is as
tough-minded as it is sen-
sitive. The play stands out as
one of the season's major
dramatic events."

Ms. Norman began writing
'"Night, Mother" two years
ago when she and her hus-
band, Dan Byck Jr., a suc-
cessful Louisville busi-
nessman, moved to New York.
This fifth play was written over
a period of four months.

The completed work was
given a series of readings at
the Circle Repertory Company
and was then presented at the
American Repertory Theater in
Boston. " 'Night Mother" was
reviewed by the Pulitzer's
nominating jurors in Boston
before the play moved to

Broadway's Golden Theater.

With its original cast of
Kathy Bates and Anne
Pitoniak, daughter and mother
respectively, and under the
direction of Tom Moore,
'"Night, Mother" was brought
to Broadway by the producing
team of Mr. Byck, Wendell
Cherry, the Schubert Organiza-
tion and Frederick M. Zollo.

Before it opened at the
Golden Theater, " 'Night
Mother" was reviewed as "a
shattering evening" that
mirrors "the emptiness that
fills too many ordinary homes
on too many faceless streets
in the vast country we live in
now."

Ms. Norman is the second
woman in three years to win a
Pulitzer Prize for Drama and
the first Agnes Scott alumna
to win a Pulitzer of any type.

Last month, Ms. Norman
was vacationing by herself in a
secluded inn on the California
coast when she learned of her
winning a Pulitzer.

Contacted by Gussow and
broached on her momentary
feelings she said, "The
Pulitzer seems like these red-
wood trees I've been sitting in
all week, enormous but very
still the center. I am thrilled."
Then she added, "I feel like
someone just came into the
room in my mind where I work
and embroidered a big *P' on
the back of my typing chair. It
may not change my life, but it
will feel good to know it's back
there."

NYU Now Limi

Book Reproduction

In what could be a prece-
dent for other colleges and
universities trying to keep
students and faculty members
from photocopying textbooks
instead of buying them, New
York University has settled out
of court with nine major text-
book publishers in a copyright
infringement case.

In return for getting the
publishers to drop a lawsuit
last December, NYU agreed to
adopt "specific policies per-
taining to the photocopying of
copyrighted works," says an
NYU spokesperson.

NYU's guidelines allow
limited reproduction of book
chapters, articles, short
stories and poems for instruc-
tors to use in class, says Carol
Risher of the Association of
American Publishers (AAP),
the publishers' group that
sued NYU.

Instructors can make copies
of brief articles for students,
she adds, if it's done only one
time for the course, and if
there's not enough time for the
instructor to get prior permis-
sion from the publisher.

The AAP had claimed NYU,
10 of its faculty members and
a campus copying center were
reproducing "virtual an-
thologies" from copyrighted

works. Students would use the
materials in lieu of buying
textbooks.

NYU agreed to settle out of
court because "the university
and individual defendants are
troubled that they may have in-
fringed on the copyrights of
one or more publishers," the
spokesperson says.

But the Unique Copy Center,
also named in the lawsuit,
"will remain defendants,"
copying chain and a
spokesman for the National
Association of Quick Printers
(NAQP) of the copyright laws."

The new NYU guidelines are
a "real one-sided interpreta-
tion" of the copyright laws,
agrees Paul Orfalea, president
of the Kinko's Graphics na-
tionwide campus copying
chain and a spokesman for the
National Association of Quick
Printers (NAQP).

The NAQP is contributing
money to the Unique Copy
Center's defense, he says, as
part of group members' efforts
"to garner our forces to
reassure the professors and
students around the country
of their rights under the
copyright law," Orfalea says.

But the AAP's Risher hopes
"other schools around the
country will use (the NYU
agreement) as a model."

West Side Story /* Back

The young men of ancient Greece are chased by "older women" when the women take over
Athens in Aristophanes' bawdy comedy "The Congresswoman." Overwhelmed by all the
feminine attention is a Greek young man played by Chris Trump of Clarkston. The older women
are played by Agnes Scott students (left to right) Margaret Shippen, Cayce Callaway (on the
floor) and Ann Dupree. The Agnes Scott College Blackfriars will present "The Congresswomen"
as a musical lampoon of all things sacred May 20, 21. For tickets, call 377-1200.

DramaTech Theatre is proud
to announce their spring
musical, "West Side Story."
This classical musical tragedy
is the timeless story of Tony
and Maria and their fatal quest
for love. Maria (Linda Banks) is
a young Puerto Rican girl who
falls in love with Tony (Jeff
Goodson) who is American.
Social pressures are put on by
Maria's best friend Anita
(Felice Brooks) and two street
gangs called the Jets and the
Sharks. Riff (John Carroll) is
the leader of the Jets and
Tony's best friend. Bernardo
(Chris Dieguez) is the leader of
the Sharks and is Maria's
brother. The two gangs are
constantly at each other's
throats and decide the
"keeper of the streets" in one
all-out rumble.

The director and cho-
reographer, Scott Rousseau,
is quite well known in Atlanta
for his musical theatre direc-
tion. He recently directed
"Godspell" with the Cobb
Community Players, "Pippin"
and "The Fantasticks" with
the Neighborhood Playhouse,
and "Side by Side by Sond-
heim" at Theatre in the Square
in Marietta.

"West Side Story" originally
opened on Broadway at the

Winter Garden Theatre in
September of 1957 and was
recently revived in 1981. Both
times the show ran very suc-
cessfully. "It's been a long
time," said director Rousseau,
"since 'West Side Story' has
been done in Atlanta, and
we're hoping to produce a
stunningly effective produc-
tion. The show will be
presented in its entirety with
all dance and musical
numbers. No music has been
omitted from the original
score, and will also take place
in its original era of the late
1950's. 'West Side Story' is
back in all its musical glory."

The 30-piece orchestra is
under the musical direction of
Vince Campbell; set and
lighting design is by Paul Fritz.
Tickets are now on sale. For
reservations and information
call the theatre box office at
894-2745 or drop by the theatre
between 12 and 6 Monday
through Friday. The theatre is
located at the corner of Ferst
Drive and Hemphill Avenue on
the Georgia Tech campus.
Tickets are $2 for students and
faculty and $4 for the general
public. The show will run May
13 through 28 with perfor-
mances on Thursday through
Saturday at 8 p.m.

Exercise Myths Disproved

by Tamer Middleton

The departments of Educa-
tion and Physical Education
sponsored the lecture
"Physiological Effects of Exer-
cise and Women," presented
by Dr. Edwin Dale, Professor
of Gynecology and Obstetrics
at Emory University School of
Medicine, Tuesday, May 3.

Dr. Dale's lecture was based
on data he had compiled from
studies on women who were
regular runners, women who
did not run regularly, and
women who did not run at all.
Contrary to statements issued
about women and jogging (for
example, "women's bodies are
not built for jogging"), Dr. Dale
indicated women following
regular exercise programs en-
joyed the physical benefits of
decreased body fat, increased
muscle tone, and an improved
body image. They also ex-
perience improved psycho-
logical well-being. According
to his personal evaluation,
women who exercise tend to
be happier.

However, there are some

unique changes associated
with women runners: delay of
the onset of menarche (begin-
ning of the menstrual cycle);
changes in the percentage of
body fat; altering menstrual
regularity; and elevation of the
body's core temperature to in-
appropriately high levels.

Perhaps the most important
of these changes are those
related to the menstrual cycle.
Dr. Dale indicated that menar-
che could be delayed to age 21
or more for professional
women runners. Professional
runners also experience ir-
regularity in their menstrual
cycles, in some cases with a
decrease in the number 6
cycles per year, although this
has not been the case of
women who had been preg-
nant at least once. Dr. Dale
also concluded from his study
that runners experienced less
painful menstrual periods and
less side effects associated
with use of birth control pills.

Dr. Dale proposed a
hypothesis to explain the pro-

blem of menstrual irregularity.
He related the problem to the
amount of fat stored in the
body which reduces the risk of
irregularities and delayed
menarche. "Adequate nutri-
tional intake is important for
women to have regular
menstrual cycles. Profes-
sional athletes tend to deprive
themselves . . . women
athletes average an intake of
450 calories per day, yet they
expend 500-1000 calories each
day through exercise. Women
should neither be too fat nor
too thin, but like baby bear's
porridge . . . just right," he
said.

Dr. Dale concluded his lec-
ture and slide presentation by
reminding the audience that
the problems mentioned may
be related to running or not at
all. As always, consulting a
physician for a professional
opinion is the best solution. In
any event, the taboos
associated with women and
running have not been proven
true.

the ingenious few who suc-
cessfully disguised such
pleasurable beverages and
sneaked them past the
throngs of security guards.

Ah yes, the Agnes Scott
woman excels again. It just so
happened that one particular
blanket contained much more
than cotton and color dye. And
what happens after all of this
consumption. If you're trapped
in the Infield, where the toilet-
to-person ratio is 1 to 309, you
will definitely need a large
bladder and the patience of
Job. These Scotties, however,
conveniently located on the
Lawn Terrace near the
Clubhouse, experienced waits
no longer than five minutes.

And what about attire?
Earlier in the day you would
see everything from almost
anything to practically
nothing. After the first rain-
drop, a kaleidoscope of col-
ored umbrellas decorated the
stands. Meanwhile, back on
the Terrace, these lovely
Agnes Scott women were
fashion trend-setters as they
donned their designer raingear
commonly known as Hefty
Garbage Bags.

While one of your col-
leagues conducted casual
psychology experiments on
crowd behavior and another
discussed maximum utility
with a friendly beer vendor, it
is important to note that these
observant young women ac-
tually spent much of their time
watching famous four-legged
creatures race around the
track. From the paddock to the
finish-line, these beasts were
phenomenal. From the star-
ting line in Rebekah parking
lot to the finish line in the
same location, these women
were enjoying and ap-
preciating every unforgettable
moment of this adventure! In
the words of that one creative
writing professor, the Derby is
an experience of "chaos and
glee." From thunderstorms to
Sunny's Halo the entire event
was a winner.

For the second straight
week in a row, the Juniors lost
their softball game by a forfeit.
This past week's game had the
Juniors against the faculty-
staff team. A game was played
anyway with a team of mixed
students. We had a surprise
player on the faculty-staff
team Ruth Schmidt! The
students went up to bat first
with Becky Moorer who hit a
quick homerum. Ann Weaver's
triple was brought home by
Haley Water's homerun hit.
Sally MacEwen, for the

faculty-staff team, hit to right
field. The inning ended with a
pop-fly hit by the president,
that was caught by Colleen
McCoy. Sharon Maitland
played aggressively striking
out Tammy Jenkins, and hit-
ting a homerun for her team.
Other highlights include Claire
Sever's homerun which
brought in Ann Weaver for
another point. Julie Christian-
son's outstanding catch of
Ms. Messick's hit to left field
ended the game. The score
was 6-3, the students on the
top.

Meet Me at Churchill Down-Pour"

by an Anonymous
Weasel

The route to Louisville, KY,
last weekend was crowded
with cars bearing signs which
read "Derby or Bust." Perhaps
the more appropriate slogan
would have been "Derby or
Drown" or "Meet Me at Chur-
chill Down-Pour." But
regardless of the timely
shower, about ten minutes
before post time, spirits and
fashions and strategic bets
were high. Few things were
dry. Ask any one of the six
Agnes Scott women who scur-
ried up to the Bluegrass State
in one weasel car, with one
cooler, one pillow, and one set
of typed betting instructions
from one creative writing pro-
fessor about the recent 109th
Run For the Roses.

Whether it's your first ex-
posure to the Derby or an an-
nual tradition, the experience
is sure to leave you with fond
memories of long lines, unique
characters in the crowd, and
the rich heritage that is the

Kentucky Derby. Perhaps you
should rob a bank before mak-
ing plans to attend this
auspicious occasion. To brave
the wild crowds of the Infield
costs ten bucks, comparable
to an arm and a leg by the end
of the day, while to sit on
Millionaires' Row, the fourth
level of the Clubhouse, implies
quite a larger sum. Your
budget must also include bet-
ting since the average better
spent $41.25, given a crowd of
over 143 thousand who bet a
total of $11,851,527.00.

Lest we forget
refreshments, a total of 73,920
big franks, that's seven miles
of stray dogs, sold for $1.50
each, while, on Millionaires'
Row, a platter of shrimp sold
(1,000 pounds of these lovely
sea creatures) for $80.00 each.

But what if you're thirsty?
Maybe you would drink one of
the 80,000 mint juleps (in com-
memorative Derby glassware)
or partake of the 24,000
gallons of beer that were sold.
Or maybe you would be one of

The Dance Barre

by Mary MacKinnon

Cindy Burns, a participating
judge of the student
choreography award at Studio
Dance Theatre's spring con-
cert, wrote to Marylin Darling
to comment on the company's
impressive performance and
"the talent and the intensity of
the dancers" and "the diversi-
ty among the performances."
Ms. Burns, having been a
former member of SDT
perceived a growth and ad-
vancement in the dance pro-
gram at Agnes Scott.

In reflection of the past
year, SDT has encompassed
through its activities a sense
of growth during the season.
The company has been striv-
ing to become more flexible in
its performances and in its at-
titude. Flexibility in a perfor-
mance means being ready to
execute a dance anywhere,
anytime; on the pavement, or
in the rain.Tf necessary. Flex-

ibility in attitude is the will-
ingness to deal with any oc-
curing situation, which will
result in learning and growth.

In addition, SDT has
especially attempted to bring
the audience into the ex-
perience of the dance perfor-
mance. An example of this
succeeding occured during
the presentation during the
presidential inaugural
festivities. It was a perfor-
mance with in informal air
about it. The audience stood in
close proximity to the perfor-
mance area, and was able to
get caught up in the rhythm
and feeling of the dances,
showing this by feeling at
ease to clap along with the
music. Drawing the audience
into the dance is very impor-
tant because dance is an ex-
pression of emotion to be not
only seen, but felt, enjoyed,
and remembered by the im-
pression it leaves on the au-
dience.

High Tech and Liberal Arts: A

tic Relationship

by Celia Shackleford

The American economy is in
the midst of a large scale tran-
sition from conventional
manufacturing toward high-
technology production. This
industrial trend toward high-
technology affects us both as
individuals and as part of the
business sector.

In order to remain com-
petitive or advance in develop-
ing areas, industries need to
focus on organization.
Management departments are
often far removed from the
technical aspects of manufac-
turing. Newly designed
systems will help integrate
methods of design and
testing, and efficiency in pro-
duction.

Management is usually pro-
fit oriented and is geared more
toward short term planning
rather than long term. Cor-
porations tend to shave off im-
put costs such as labor rather
than updating antiquated
equipment. Management
needs to orient industries
more for long term efficiency
and productivity by reorganiz-
ing and updating present pro-
duction processes.

The inevitable shift toward
advanced technology forces a
re-evaluation of employment
in the United States. This tran-
sition could be compared to a
former revolution from
agriculture to industry when a
great shift in employment oc-
curred as people moved to in-
dustrial centers and switched
from farming to working in
manufacturing. The transition
from conventional manufac-
turing to high-technology will
cause a shift toward higher
value employment, that is,
away from blue collar workers.
Industries will require better
educated employees as labor-
intensive industries requiring
menial work will move into
developing countries where
resources and labor are
cheaper.

More jobs will be available
in areas dealing with com-
puter science such as pro-
gramming, designing, and
operating, yet fewer jobs will
be available overall. This is

because the technological ad-
vancements are intended to
improve efficiency and trim
costs, and labor is a major
cost. For example, when
robots are used in industrial
manufacturing, even though
people are required to super-
vise operations and for
maintenance, each robot will
take the place of far more peo-
ple than it will provide jobs for.
However, corporations will
use these electronic robots
because they facilitate
smooth production with very
little room for human error.
Eventually, the majority of
jobs will involve decision mak-
ing, planning, and supervision
rather than actual production.

Other factors also influence
the employment outlook.
Since the birth rate has declin-
ed after the baby boom, the
number of young people enter-
ing the job market is gradually

shrinking. Obviously, this
means fewer people searching
for employment.

Also, there is a present
trend in the economy toward
services away from goods. In-
cluded in services are
specialized fields of employ-
ment, such as surgeons and
computer analysis, as well as
utilities, maintenance com-
panies and entertainment
organizations. A limitless de-
mand exists for various ser-
vices; whereas, the demand
for goods is finite. Many high-
tech developments can be
seen as services, such as in-
formation processing equip-
ment which enables com-
panies to better organize and
coordinate their work.

In the trend toward high-
technology, a large flaw exists
in the area of education.
Unemployed people who lost
their jobs in the recession lack

Agnes Scott Awarded * 100,000 Grant

Agnes Scott College has
been awarded an unrestricted
grant of $100,000 by the Booth
Ferris Foundation of New York
City.

The foundation, which
awards grants to selected col-
leges and universities
throughout the nation, con-
siders "the small college . . .
an invaluable and essential

resource." Agnes Scott, a
women's liberal arts college,
enrolls approximately 550 to
600 students each year.

The foundation's criteria for
selection of grant recipients
include "a reputation as a
school devoted to scholarship
and intellectual discipline;
recognized effective leader-

ship both among the college's
academic leaders and its
board; evidence of
demonstrated efforts to con-
trol its expenses and make ef-
fective use of its resources;
the support of its alumni and
friends; and a clear picture of
its future goals and aspira-
tions."

the necessary skills and
knowledge to obtain jobs in
fields of higher technology.
Some programs exist to help
retrain these people for new
jobs, yet these programs are
not adequate to reduce the
widespread ignorance concer-
ning technology.

Today's students are only
slightly better off. The equip-
ment in most schools is very
outdated, especially in the
departments of math and
science. Not enough em-
phasis is placed on these two
important fields, a basic
knowledge of which will be
essential to daily life in the
future. There is a great need
for teachers and professors
who have sufficient
knowledge of technological
fields to teach students in
these areas. Some corpora-
tions are helping to bring
modern technology into
schools by loaning or
donating computers to local
school systems, yet this is on-
ly a small beginning compared
with what needs to be done to
prepare students for the real
world.

Nevertheless, in spite of the
great need for more technical
knowledge, a fundamental
liberal arts education is essen-
tial. There will always be a de-
mand for well-rounded,
creative people with the ability
to think and analyze material
critically. When and if

educators realize the impor-
tance of technological
knowlege and advancement,
they should not lose sight of
the vital need for understan-
ding and appreciation for the
many facets of life in any en-
vironment. This knowledge is
gained through exposure to
various subjects in a liberal
arts education. These two
types of education,
technological and liberal arts,
need to fuse together to form a
coherent background for any
individual preparing
realistically for the future.

The industrial shift toward
high-technology will lead to a
different type of life for all peo-
ple not just those directly
involved in business. The long
term changes could be
phenomenal as all facets of
society become increasingly
more dependent on advanced
technology and computer
systems in areas such as com-
munications and information
processing. A general
knowledge of technology will
be crucial to understand and
take part in everyday life.
Although this change seems
radical, it is essential in the
United States if we are to
avoid stagnation and continue
to grow as an international
competitor. This new reality
may shock us into
technological awareness, yet
it will eventually lead to a
stronger economy and a
healthier country.

Books win over Pranks

Two months after a group of
Emory U. students staged a
midnight "book-turning" to
convince their fellow students
to lighten up a little, their
message may have already
lost its impact.

In February, the dozen or so
students hid in Woodruff
Library at the midnight closing
hour. Then, between 12 and 8
a.m., they reversed every book
on the library's second floor
over 125,000 volumes so
that pages, not bindings,
faces forward. The students
have never made their identity
public, but three of them did
give an interview to the stu-
dent newspaper, the Wheel.
They said they hoped to in-
spire Emory students to make
college more than a "selfish
rush to a career." They wanted
to point out that college can
be fun, that it's the last time in
your life that you can do crazy
things," says Wheel Editor
Fred Diamond.

Library staff members might

not have found the event
amusing, but the Emroy ad-
ministration decided not to
track down the book-turners.
About a month later, another
group of Emroy students tied
balloons of all different colors
to objects in the campus
Quad. This group's prank
mocked the book-turning, says
Diamond. The balloon group
urged students to spend less
time trying to learn, and more
time memorizing for tests.

Diamond says the Wheel
devoted ample space to the
book-turning incident, and
that outside media picked up
the story. But he admits the
furor created has already died
down. "I think students got the
message, but I don't think the
response was as vocal as they
(the Woodruff group) wanted,"
he says. The book-turning may
inspire many more harmless
pranks, he adds, but it's pro-
bably not going to tear Emory
students away from their
books.

Intolerance of
Intolerance

by Rachel McConnell

I believe I am perhaps the
most intolerant of intolerance
in general. We pride ourselves
on the diversity of experience
our education affords yet we
consistently insist that
everyone should be exactly as
we are; hold the same beliefs,
frequent the same places and
even wear what we deem ap-
propriate. What I see as a
broad mind in myself becomes
intolerably narrowed by what I
define as narrow-mindedness.
Perhaps it could be argued
that I simply advocate a liberal
perspective and am simply
judging the more conservative
point of view. I hope this ac-
cusation is unfounded.

I believe that others have a
right to worship in their own
way, to adhere to sexual
preferences of their own
choosing, to educate
themselves in a fashion they
find most beneficial, to adorn
themselves in attire that pro-
motes well being, to enjoy
music that I may find "off
beat", and to live according to
their own precepts. I am not
advocating the "You do your
thing, I'll do mine" attitude of
a few years back. This attitude
reflects an abandonment of
responsibility to self, others
and society. I simply mean, in
determining the course of our
own lives as well as that of our
peers, it is important to allow
for the diversity that defines
the human condition. We
should celebrate the dif-
ferences God bestowed upon
our world rather than scorn
and disdain it. As we, as a
campus, stretch to meet the
changes of our world, the way
to avoid many of the pains of
unexercised or previously
unentertained ideas is to
assert the theme of tolerance.

Letters To The Editor

Dear Editor:

At least six weeks have
passed since Interdorm
hosted the Campus Crime
speakers who met with all
members of each dormitory.
How many of us have already
forgotten their words of advice
and warning? They told us a
lot of things we would have
preferred not to have heard.
However, turning our backs on
the possibility of crime will on-
ly make us that much more
vulnerable.

It is not necessary for me to
repeat what the speakers said,
because they were very effec-
tive. But it is necessary for
each of us to take the time to
recall what they said.

I have two current concerns
regarding security. First of all,
I hope my classmates will take
precautions in their post-
graduate lives as they move in-
to apartments and lead in-
dependent lives. The speakers
gave some good suggestions.

Secondly, I am concerned
about security at ASC. A
rumor that the force would be
reduced bothers me because
half of the campus police's ef-
fectiveness lies in being visi-
ble. If people know that the
school is carefully guarded
then they are less likely to
trespass. Several questions
need to be asked and
answered immediately: 1) Why
did Chief of Police Al Evans
resign; 2) Is the force
understaffed now? 3) What
could be done to increase the
force's visibility? 4) Isn't there
a better location for the Police
Office than the basement of
the Hub? 5) Why don't the
campus police ever supervise
the areas of the hockey field,
tennis court, and observatory?
6) The campus' circumference
is only a square mile. So, why
are the police always seen
driving?
Sincerely,
Laurie K. McBrayer

Dear Editor:

Since I am working in the
P.E. Department this quarter, I
have had the opportunity to
learn how much Prof. Kate
McKemie does for the College
in general. She deserves much
credit for the beauty of the
campus. When she sees
plants that are dying or areas
that require planting, not only
does she contact the Physical
Plant Office, but she often
does the work herself. The ap-
pearance of the campus dur-
ing Inaugural Weekend was of
great concern to her. Prior to
that weekend, she planted the

azaleas in front of the library
in honor of the class of '83.

Miss McKemie supervised
the student organization
banner-making, too. She pur-
chased the materials, made in-
door and outdoor plans for
hanging the banners, and she
managed to supervise their in-
stallation in the dining hall the
day of the Roast.

Miss McKenie has taught at
ASC for 27 years. Her projects
have been many. She never
seeks recognition, but doesn't
she deserve some!

Laurie K. McBrayer

Rep Rap

by Sue Feese,
SGA President

Where do we go from here?
For the seniors, and perhaps
for all of us, this is a difficult
question. Choices face us, be
it whether or not to go home
for one last summer with the
"hometown gang," to pursue
an independent summer
career away from the confine-
ment and support of familiari-
ty, or to begin another chapter
of our lives, a chapter centered
around something other than
Agnes Scott. For the present
Rep Council, a quarter filled
with controversy and achieve-
ment is finished. Another two
quarters of hard work awaits
us. Just as we all faced
choices or dilemmas about the
nature of our situations in the
upcoming months, Rep Coun-
cil deliberated, considered
carefully, decided upon and
approved many proposals.
Foremost among these are the
recently approved proposals
dealing with the membership
of students on faculty commit-
tees and the new procedure
for the establishment and
suspension of campus
organizations. Rep also made
the recommendation to all
boards that the heads of all
organizations be referred to as
presidents (instead of
chairmen) while the heads of
committees remain chairmen.
A successful and f unfilled
roast of our new Southern
speaking president was
another project originated in
Rep. For reppers, it definitely
was a busy quarter.

Yet, the question remains,
where do we go from here?
When Rep convenes next

autumn, what, if anything, wil
we have to discuss? Many
things. First of all, the
possibility of extending
parietals to Saturday night
(6-12), (an idea which received
much support from the cam-
pus in a recent dining hall
survey) will be discussed in
our first meeting next quarter.
The representatives to the
Academic Standards Commit-
tee, the Future of the Glee Col
lege Committee, and the Cur-
riculum Committee will be
chosen by Rep Council after
all candidates for the nine
positions are reviewed by the
Council. As Energy Awareness
Week is planned for Sept.
19-23 and events such as con
servation contests between
halls and a pizza and beer par-
ty are included in the present
calendar of events for the
week. A newly formed elec
tions board will supervise
freshmen elections. The con
stitutions of all organizations
will be reviewed over the sum
mer to see if their present
policies conform to the
guidelines described in their
constitutions printed in the
handbook. An attempt will be
made to make the constitution
of all SGA funded organiza-
tions uniform in form and
organization.

For all of us the question of
'where do we go from here' is
one that has no definite
answer. One piece of advice
does seem relevant and that is
to press on whether it be in
search of a job, a roommate
for next year, worthwhile pro-
jects for Rep to undertake, or
the ideal summer to diet. The
answers will come.

Letters to the Editor Continued

Dear Editor,

Reading the new college
catalog I noticed that a
number of courses had been
eliminated from the cur-
riculum. I realize that the cur-
riculum needed changing
particularly from a budgetary
standpoint. However, I would
like to think our needs override
'the power of the buck' in cer-
tain circumstances. One of my
major concerns involves the
question of why students were
not, and at the present time
are not given the opportunity
to directly express their views
regarding the curriculum. As
students, we should have
some input regarding cur-
riculum, insofar as we are
amongst those most affected
by such changes. I feel
betrayed.

I am particularly concerned
about the elimination of
Sociology 131: Human Sex-
uality in the Social Context.
Prior to 1982-1983, there was
no course of this nature of-
fered at ASC. A 190 seminar:
Human Sexuality and the Col-
lege Student, had been offered
in the past. Due to its incredi-
ble popularity, the seminar
was upgraded to Sociology
131. I was fortunate to have
been able to take the seminar
for it has been the primary
foundation for my career in-
terests in family planning.

However, I must emphasize
that my reasons for perceiving
a need for such a course are
not strictly personal. In
discussing the matter with
others, one person asked,
"Why is such a course
necessary?" and "Didn't your
mother tell you about the birds
and the bees?" To answer the
first question, there is a great
need for such a course. Par-
ticularly when the pregnancy
rate for unmarried college
students in some areas in the
nation is higher than the
overall teen pregnancy rate.

Agnes Scott College is not
immune to such problems.
Perhaps the pregnancy rate at
Agnes Scott College is one of
its best kept secrets. Another
reason for offering a course
which deals with issues con-
cerning sexuality, involves the
transfer of information. The

majority of young persons get
their information regarding
sexuality from their peers,
which is more often than not
misinformation. To answer the
second question, I do not con-
sider facts concerning human
sexuality as "things for
mother (or father) should have
told me", for a variety of
reasons. Sexuality is a
delicate subject. In view of the
times in which my mother
grew up, sexuality was indeed
a taboo subject. She did not
and does not feel comfortable
discussing such matters; she
could not and cannot answer
all of my questions even if she
had attempted to do so (par-
ticularly if she would have
referred to the subject as
"birds and bees"). In short,
she could not tell me what she
did not know. I can only hope
that for future generations the
parents will be the source for
such information.

A seminar on human sex-
uality in general and female
sexuality in particular is not
enough to rectify the situation
only freshmen and
sophomores are allowed to
enroll in seminars. Studies
suggest that the likelihood of
engaging in intimate relations
concurrently with ones
classificaiton. Thus, juniors
and seniors (perhaps the
target population) would not
have the opportunity to enroll
in a seminar of this nature.

In a society where womens
needs are all too often put on
the back burner and the
burden of pregnancy lies on
women, a course on sexuality
is indeed necessary. Sexuality
is an integral part of the total
self. Lack of knowledge con-
cerning human sexuality con-
tributes to a lack of well-
roundedness which a liberal
arts major purports to
possess. It is ironic that few
courses at Agnes Scott are of-
fered in womens studies, or,
for that matter, deal specifical-
ly with those issues which
most directly affect women. I
propose that Sociology 131 be
reinstated by any means
necessary.

Sincerely,
Tracey Y. Veal

Safety of Underpass Sought

by Tracey Veal

A while back, Agnes Scott
students, walking to Decatur
had to walk over the railroad
tracks. One Scottie's father
considered this route
dangerous, and thus paid for
the construction of an under-
pass. Presently, this under-
pass, which leads to and from
East College and Howard
Avenues, is overgrown with
weeds, stones and empty wine
bottles. Faded paint peels
from walls marred with graf-
fiti. The underpass is rather
dark and gloomy even in the
daylight.

Agnes Scott students, walk-
ing to Downtown Decatur and
the MARTA station frequent
the underpass. Decatur High
School students may also
utilize the underpass. Others
unknown must also utilize the
underpass. What other reason
is there for the numerous emp-
ty wine and beer bottles lying
in the underpass?

One might ask why students
do not choose an alternate
route. One reason is that the
underpass is very convenient,
it leads directly to Decatur and
thus saves time. Then, too, use
of an alternate route would not
eliminate the potential danger
that even one student may en-
counter when utilizing the
underpass. There is no need to
implement safety measures
once an assault has occurred.
Hopefully, the implementation
of safety measures before
such a situation arises will
prevent an occurrence of this
nature.

Students enrolled in
Sociology 319: Social Welfare
Institutions have formed a
committee to deal with the
matter. The committee con-
sists of Tracey Veal, chairper-
son ('84), Betsy Shaw ('84),
Laura Blundell ('84) and Anne
Page ('84). According to a peti-
tion circulated recently, at
least 400 persons more
than half of the student body

feels that some action needs
to be taken to implement safe-
ty measures such as better
lighting in and around the
underpass and a thorough
clean-up and paint job. This
reason alone is sufficient
evidence that the underpass is
a concern to the ASC com-
munity. A division of Family
Lines Railroad of Georgia, the
owners of the property, have
been contacted. This division
is based in Florence, South
Carolina. Thus they were
unaware of the present state
of the underpass. The Decatur
City Police and the Agnes
Scott Security Office have
also given suggestions to fur-
ther enhance the safety of the
area which surrounds the
underpass (i.e., more frequent
patrol of the area). All things
considered, the underpass
should be a safe alternative
walkway when we return in the
Fall. The committee would like
to express thanks for your con-
tinuing support.

SREB Study Highlights Health Professionals

by Tamer Middleton

The Southern Regional
Education Board's quarterly
report, "Regional Action," (vol.
32, no. 2, April 23) discusses
problems facing policy
holders in southern states.
The report is based upon the
publication, "Health Profes-
sionals in the South: Supply
and Cost Issues Needing
State Attention." Harold L.
McPheeters, SREB's director
of health programs is the ma-
jor contributor.

The report addresses the
problem of oversupply, the
result of efforts by the govern-
ment to meet a decline in the
region 20 years ago. New and
existing schools are
graduating professionals at a
rate which exceeds that of the
rest of the country. Examples
of this growth include an in-
crease in first-year dental
school enrollments from 807
to 1,611 since 1957; the
medical schools' first-year
enrollments increased from
2,350 to 6,046 and 15 new
schools have been opened
since 1960. Of the nation's five
schools of veterinary
medicine, four are in the

South, and their enrollment
has increased from 735 to
2,327 from 1960 to 1980.

It is doubtful if Agnes Scott
graduates planning to attend
medical school will encounter
the problem of oversupply. In
this year's senior class one
student has elected to go to
medical school. For the class
of 1984, four intend to
matriculate. According to
Dean Julia Gary this is a
reasonable number for a class
of approximately 115.

Oversupply in the region is
attributed to several factors
which include the location of
post-graduate students in the
area where they received their
training. This has been the
case of at least two ASC
graduates who completed
medical school. Audrey Grant
and Dianne Peterson, both
located in their home states to
attend medical school and re-
mained following graduation.
Dean Gary attributes this to
the high cost of out-of-state
tuition. Furthermore, physi-
cians, dentists, and other
health professionals pour into
the "Sunbelt" region. There
has also been an increase in

ASA

Experiences Setbacks

Despite suffering a second
major resignation in three
weeks, the beleagured
American Student Association
(ASA) has decided to try to
pick up the pieces and rebuild.

In a teleconference held in
the wake of a mass resigna-
tion, an apparent grand jury in-
vestigation of its finances and
a series of damaging losses to
the rival U.S. Student Associa-
tion (USSA), the group
technically the largest student
group in the country ap-
pointed an interim president to
push for reorganization.

But at the same time ASA
board Chairman Carl Chain of
the University of Houston
resigned from the board, ex-
plaining, "I no longer have the
desire to work for that kind of
an organization."

In recent weeks critics and
officers alike have complained
the group was born in 1978
primarily as a salve for the ego
of founder Tom Duffy, who had
just losi a campaign for
USSA's chairmanship, and
seconda;:!/ as a tax dodge for
Duffy's family.

In early Ap.il. ASA President
Michael Chapman under
fire from the board anyway
resigned over a series of Duffy
family loans and donations to
ASA made several years ago.

Chapman's charges have
apparently prompted a grand
jury investigation of ASA's
finances, and into whether the
Duffy family manipulated
ASA's tax structure for its own
benefit.

The U S Attorney for
Washington. DC, however,
refuses to confirm or deny the
existence of an investigation.

ASA's c .-rent tax status
allows individuals to deduct
contributions to the group, but

keeps ASA from spending
much of its budget on lobby-
ing, which is supposed to be
its main purpose, according to
its charter.

ASA's remaining board
members, moreoever, are
deeply divided over Duffy's
continuing influence and the
presence of consultant Jim
Newton in the organization.

Newton has lost recent key
bids to have the Ohio and New
Jersey state student associa-
tions choose ASA over rival
USSA, and is at the center of a
building controversy over his
credentials and motives.

ASA's troubles extend to its
historically weak lobbying
in Congress, where the group
is typically dismissed as inex-
pert by education committee
staffers.

"ASA is a lot more stable
than a lot of people think,"
contends Michael Gallegos of
the University of New Mexico,
ASA's new interim president.

"When you're the largest
student group in the world,
you just don't fold up," he
says. He blames the group's
troubles on "a couple of weak
presidents."

"We may not have the best
congressional lobbying," adds
University of Wisconsin stu-
dent President Dan Duffy, Tom
Duffy's brother, "but they have
great conventions."

"I knew they did run a real
good conference," says Sara
Thurin of the Coalition of In-
dependent College and Univer-
sity Students. which
represents private campus
students in Washington. But,
"I'm really shocked" by the
"ethical" issues in ASA's con-
duct.

But to spend more on lobby-
ing, the group would have to

the foreign-trained profes-
sionals in the region. Declines
in the number of applicants in
some of the South's medical,
dental, and veterinary schools
are offsetting these trends.

Distribution of health pro-
fessionals is another problem
addressed by McPheeter's
report. The report notes,
"Health professionals con-
tinue to locate in affluent
suburbs and near prestigious
metropolitan health centers
rather than in the inner-city
and rural locations where their
services are needed."

The shortage of minorities
in the health profession con-
tinues to plague the region:
"Only 2.5 percent of physi-
cians, 3.5 percent of dentists,
and 7.5 percent of registered
nurses are Black of 19 percent
of the South's Black popula-
tion.

The report offered one solu-
tion in relation to distribution:
"Loan foregiveness programs
with substantial loans and
heavy buy-out penalties com-
bined with the careful selec-
tion of likely candidates,
counseling and placement ser-
vices, and specially designed
teaching experiences is one
approach. Efforts to recruit

and retain minority students,
particularly in the major pro-
fessions, might be directed to
intensive counseling, tutorial
programs, and financial
assistance to pre-professional
programs in traditionally
Black institutions."

Agnes Scott offers
assistance to graduates atten-
ding medical school through
the Angela Harbin McLennan
fellowship. Students enrolled
in medical school are awarded
$2,000 to $3,000 per year (the
fellowship is divided if more
than one student attends). The
fellowship is given by Alex
McLennan.

Student Teachers Honored

by Tiz Faison

Agnes Scott seniors seek-
ing certificates in Education
were honored Monday, May 9
in a gathering in the Alumnae
Gardens. Everyone associated
with the Education Depart-
ment was invited to attend, in-
cluding the teachers under

whom the seniors are student
teaching this spring quarter.
Dr. Joyce Smith, Department
Chair, her husband, K. C.
Smith, and ASC juniors in
Education felt a tradition
ought to be established to
show appreciation for this
hardworking group. Each
senior appropriately received

a monogramed brass whistle
to use in her teaching career.
These students were: Julie
Babb, Jody Stone, Susan
Sowell, Nancy Caroline Col-
lier, Beth Olivier, Kim Shellack
Baldonado, Susan Roberts,
Mary Jane Golding, Tonja
Hiatt, Jeanie Morris, and
Melanie Roberts.

alter its tax status. Gallegos
doesn't "believe it will really
be an issue" during his tenure.

But Chain wonders how
long the tenure and group can
last.

"With no disrespect to
Michael Gallegos, I don't know
that the damage can be
repaired," he says.

Former President
Chapman's sending his
resignation letter, detailing
Duffy family influence in the
group, to all 500 member
schools might have killed
ASA, he says. "I just don't
know if you can come back
from that."

Atlanta Historical
Society Seeks Volunteers

Summer volunteers are
needed at the Atlanta
Historical Society to serve as
guides for the exhibition
"Land of Our Own: Landscape
and Gardening Tradition in
Georgia 1733-1983." The ex-
hibit, which traces the way
Georgians have used their
land over the years, is an of-
ficial event of the State's 250
birthday celebration.

A training session will be of-
fered before June 1 to those in-
terested in volunteering. This
is a great opportunity to learn
more about the history of
Atlanta and Georgia, to meet
people, and have fun at the
same time!

Every Good Student Should Have At Least Two

by Jane Zanca

When asked to put down my
farewell thoughts for The Pro-
file, I took the request very
seriously, and pondered the
appropriate format for such an
article.

A proper farewell article, it
seems, should begin like the
Academy Awards Program
ends you cry a little in
public and thank aMot of peo-
ple. So to attain correct form, I
must mention all of the faculty
and administrative people who
have inspired and helped me

these last three years (see pp.
113-123), or thereabout, Agnes
Scott College Catalog,
1981-1984).

As an English and Creative
Writing major, it is probably
necessary for me to impress
people with a few dazzling
literary references: Chaucer.
Donne. Faulkner. Bronte. Ball.

And of course, I must place
them in context: Pepperdene.
Pinka. Woods. Nelson. And,
"When am I going to see the
last chapter, this is a novella,
not a chronicle!"

Professor Sheats Retires

by Laura Newton

This spring Agnes Scott will
say good-bye to not only the
class of 1983, but also to Mary
Boney Sheats, the Fuller E.
Callaway Professor of Bible
and Religion. Dr. Sheats has
been a part of the Bible and
Religion Department since
1949.

After graduating from the
University of North Carolina,
Dr. Sheats taught seventh
grade at Fort Bragg. After a
year of teaching, she became
the Director of Education at
the Presbyterian Church in
Knoxville. Thus began her
career in religion. She met Dr.
Alston when she became the
Director of Education at the
Presbyterian Church in
Charleston, West Virginia. At
that time he was acting as the
pastor there. Later when Dr.
Alston moved to Atlanta, she
followed and became the
Director of Education here in
Atlanta. In 1949, when Dr. Mc-
Cain asked her to fill an open
position in the Bible Depart-
ment, she began her 34 year
relationship with Agnes Scott.

At that time, Religion ma-
jors were required to take two
years of Greek. After her first
year here, she went to Union
Seminary in New York to take
a summer course in Greek.

Since Agnes Scott is a
religiously based college, its
founders decided to require
that everyone take a basic Bi-
ble course. Today this course,

known as Bible 200, is taken
by everyone before gradau-
tion. When asked if she ever
tired of teaching the same
course, Dr. Sheats replied that
every quarter was different.
There were always new people
who generated new ideas, and
although she has seen many
people pass through this
school, she said that, "the
more things change, the more
things remain the same."

Her teaching techniques
have evolved through the
years. During the 1960's, when
there were student unrest, she
had classes elect a committee
of 3-4 students. The girls on
the steering committee met
with her after class to provide
her with valuable input per-
taining to student reactions
and feelings.

After retirement, Dr. Sheats
plans to move to Wilmington,
North Carolina where the core
of her family lives. She will
also be kept busy editing a
writing assignment for the
Presbyterian's Women's
Magazine, and co-editing the
Women's Bible Study for
1984-85. Her parting words of
wisdom come from Proverbs,
which was Agnes Scott's
favorite verse:

Trust in the Lord with all
your heart, and do not rely on
your own insight;

In all your ways,
acknowledge Him, and He will
make straight your paths.

Proper form demands that I
thank the students who have
enriched, revived,
resuscitated, nurtured, en-
couraged, and scraped me off
the floor of the Hub on more
than one occasion: RTC's.
Mortar Board. RTC's. Big and
Littler Sisters. RTC's.

And finally, fully aware of
my responsibility as an RTC, I
must expand upon the
essence and uniqueness of
the RTC experience, and scat-
ter a few pearls of parting,
gray-haired wisdom.

Now, if I followed the for-
mula, this article would be
logical, neat, orderly, well-
organized, predictable and
totally antithetical to my ex-
perience as an Agnes Scott
student for the last three
years. How does one play stu-
dent / mother / homemaker /
employee / whatever, all in one
day, and not become a multi-
ple personality case study?

Let me count the ways. Even
now, I am still stumbling over
boxes from my recent "We-
can't-pay-t he-rent increase"
move our fourth in three
years. My phone number has
changed four times in three
months, my tires are bald, my
wardrobe is faded, and after
Scott, my peek-a-boo is shab-
by and needs a trim, which I
can't give her as long as she
keeps running away from
home. Our bills are behind
because my checkbook is lost
in the bottom of my
schoolbag, which also con-
tains the sole extent complete
collection of CPO flyers for
1981 through 1983. Somehow
the durned things have ac-
cumulated in there, and now
I've gotten sentimental about
them and can't bear to throw
them out.

My typewriter has passed

the 75,000 mile mark, in part
because I have to share^t with
my kids and the neighborhood
huns who like to play "office."
I'm living in a seven-room
house (this week, anyway) and
there is not one corner I can
call my own, except the desk
in the kitchen with the bills pil-
ed on it. The hallway is an
obstacle course, but if ever
there is an air raid and we have
to take up residence in the
hall, we will have lots to do
with the basketball, crayons,
and Cub Scout projects which
have accumulated there.

My life revolved entirely
around the schedules of two
active adolescents. I never get
to bed before midnight. I never
read the Sunday newspaper
until I put it in the trash can on
the following Saturday. I never
get to drink a cup of coffee
while it's hot, and if somebody
made up my bed, I wouldn't be
able to find it.

Last week, in the coup de
grace of confusion, I chunked
down my son's anti-seizure
medicine and gave him my dai-
ly dose of estrogen. I didn't
have any seizures that day,
and he didn't have a single cry-
ing jag.

And did I mention the time I
tried to do babysitting, in addi-
tion to everything else, in order
to earn money? There are still
some people on campus who
swear I have eleven children.

Obviously, it is an enigma
that anyone could expect me
to accomplish anything,
especially writing and study-
ing, in the midst of such
chaos. Why don't you get
organized, you ask. Don't
blame me for this mess it
comes with the territory of
having children, whether one
is trying to finish school or sit-
ting home knitting little woolie

cactuses!

In a preface to her book, A
Tree Grown in Brooklyn.
author Betty Smith stated that
people were always asking her
how she managed to write
while raising five children on
her own. (I'd quote her answer
directly except I can't find my
copy of the book. It's around
here somewhere). Essentially,
her response was that she
didn't write in spite of her
children; she wrote because of
them. When I first read that
statement, I thought she was
crazy. But now, looking back
over my years at Scott, I think I
have a hold on what she
meant.

Every expectant mother
since Eve has probably heard
the snickering remark, "Well,
now you've gone and done it.
There's no turning back now.
Your life will never be your
own again."

How maddeningly, wonder-
fully, true and herein lies
the heart of my thesis. Betty
Smith was right. Children are
anchors. Occasionally they
are also milestones, but they
make up for the aggravation
by rooting us, holding us
down, when tests stare and
deadlines breathe down our
necks.

Thank God people can't
divorce their kids.

Thank God kids can't
divorce their parents, or mine
would have been banging on
the courthouse doors as soon
as they were old enough to
cross the street.

Husbands go off on sales
trips or run off with
secretaries. Friends move to
New York or Peoria or to other
friends and new interests. But
our children we have with us
always.

McFall Accepts Job In Newport

by Tamer Middleton

On May 27th Agnes Scott
will be saying goodbye to
Denise McFall, Assistant tq
the Director of Admissions.
Denise will be taking a posi-
tion with the faculty at St.
George's School in Newport,
Rhode Isalnd (an academically
- selective college preparatory
boarding school).

Denise says St. George is
similar to Agnes Scott in its
age (founded 1896) and size,
although it is a coeducational
institution, " . . . the student
body is friendly and suppor-
tive, and they share the same
commitment to the liberal arts
and academic excellence.
Typically, this institution (St.
George) sends 99% of its

Denise McFall will transfer to Newport, Rhode Island where
she will join St. George's School as Associate Director of Ad-
missions.

You think this has nothing
to do with you, because you
got your degree before marry-
ing and having kids? Just you
wait and see. It comes with the
territory.

Every good essay, like every
good college experience, must
have a conclusion, so here it
is:

Thank you Agnes, for all
you've been to me. Parting is
the Pits.

Thank you, Bo Ball I no now
that I are a serious righter,
dangling no modifiers. Even
The Profile wants me to right
for them.

Thank you, Jesse and Aman-
da. You've been right there
with me through all the late-

night typing sprees, the mon-
ths with no money, the
Mom's-got-her-nose-in-a-book-
again snydrome, the trade-offs
because all three of us had a
meeting on the same night,
the sandwiches because I was
too tired to cook. Pack up your

finally moving out of the Hub.

students to Ivy League col-
leges ... I certainly plan to use
my influence in having them
look to other parts of the coun-
try as well like Decatur, Ga.,
for instance."

Denise will be joining the
faculty at St. George as
Associate Director of Admis-
sions, teaching a course in
cultural awareness, and ac-
tively involved in student af-
fairs, indicative of continued
interest in the areas in which
she has been involved during
her four years at Agnes Scott.
Reflecting on her position with
admissions and her activities
at ASC, Denise says, "I have
greatly appreciated the fact
that my involvement has not
been limited to my work in
minority recruitment and ad-
missions, as it has enabled me
to work with a number of
students, faculty, and ad-
ministrative staff members in
a variety of ways. I have found
the college community to be
enthusiastically supportive in
efforts to increase minority
presence and cultural
awareness, as is
demonstrated by the increas-
ed numbers of Black students,
the trend toward these
students becoming a more in-
tegral part of the campus com-
munity, and the recent com-
mitment by the college to con-
duct the 'Multicultural
Awareness Symposium' next
year."

Denise considers her move
to Newport a "homecoming,"
since she is a native of New
York but has lived in the South
for the past nine years. "This
move will enable me to renew
my relationship with family
and friends," she says.

Speaking of new relation-
ships, Denise plans to remarry
in July. Her future husband
will also join the faculty at St.
George's, teaching English
and history, and beginning
work on his doctorate at
Brown University.

Finally, Denise says, "I have
been proud, if not honored, to
have been a member of the
'Agnes Scott family' I will
think of you often and
remember you forever."

Two Roommates
Say Good- Bye

to ASC

Kimberley
Kennedy

I think whoever planned the
college experience succeeded
when four years was determin-
ed to be its length. Any shorter
and the final touches of
maturity and preparation
would be incomplete, and any
longer (excluding grad school
specialty) would become
monotonous.

To me, you can look at col-
lege in two ways. One, as the
last time to have a final whoo-
rah before a life-time ahead of
work, and two, as a time of
preparation for a career. I per-
sonally feel that it's too expen-
sive an undertaking not to use
it to the fullest. Watching the
seniors I knew last year
scrambling for interviews, anx-
ious by waiting for answers
(and more often than not, not
the answers they wanted) the
prospect of simply walking in-
to my career looked dim.

So, I devoted my senior year
to an outside internship that
has since proved invaluable to
my career. Naturally, however,
time devoted off campus
leaves little time on campus
and soon I could feel myself
becoming less interested in
college life. Being in the real
world and learning all about
the field I wojld enter was so
exciting I kept looking forward
and less at the present. People
say we will wish we were back
in school within a month.
Naturally, I disagree. But a
funny thing has happened now
that June 5 is approaching.
While I an mot so sure I will be
ready to check back in in
September, I have become a
little more conscious of those
aspects of Agnes Scott I may
have taken for granted.

While it will be great to be
out in that 'real world' next
month, the 'real world' will
also mean coming home to a
quiet apartment after work. It
will mean lonely dinners
without lively conversation.
There will be no more borrow-
ing toothpaste or clothes
what is in my closet is what I
will wear. And probably the
worst shock of all no more
sleeping through the morning
if the night before was a little
late If I am not sitting in my
chair in the 'real world,' there
are 20 more people who will.

While I am leaving Agnes
Scott well prepared and ex-
cited about the future, I am
also leaving a little reluctantly,
a stimulating and peaceful
time of my life that will never

be beack. It is wise to plan and
look to the future and good to
have excited anticipation but I
am sure that future Will be a
more rewarding, fulfilling time
if we can appreciate and enjoy
the now and carry with us
warm memories of the past.

Jeanie Morris

"Though nothing can bring
back th ehour

Of splendour in the grass, of

glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains

behind."

William Wadsworth
As I reflect on my four years
at Agnes Scott, my mind fond-
ly drifts to the many good
times I have had here. I
remember:

the time a suave and
debonair Beta introduced
himself to me as Cliff Barnes,
and being a naive freshman I
believed him and called him
that all night.

the time Julie came to my
house and discovered the
wonder of cows.

the time "my friends?"
taped me snoring.

the times Kim and I had
complete conversations
without saying a word.

the time I got a phone
call saying the legal drinking
age would remain at 19.

These are my memories;
memories which will help
make a warm blanket for me
whenever I am cold. But, like
Wordsworth so eloquently
stated, one cannot dwell on
these memories; merely find
strength in them.

Obviously, everyone here is
above average. This is a
relative judgement and pur-
ports our academic
endeavors. Take a moment to
reflect. Are your memories just
social ones? If so, you are not
developing your total self.

Numerous opportunities
await. Scott students, oppor-
tunities which range from the
arts to politics. All it takes to
become involved is desire. I
challenge each student here
to choose her favorite field in-
terest (excluding academics
and boyfriends) and devote a
substantial portion of next
year to that interest. I promise
you will feel better about
yourself; you will have enrich-
ed your community; and in
future endeavors you will have
more strength from which to
draw.

As I drive away from Agnes
Scott on June 5, I will feel con-
fident in the future of each of
you and in the future of ASC in
your hands. Go get 'em women
and how about a roar from the
Scotties in '84?

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

Ruth Roasted Royally

by Bradie Barr

"It was quite a sight," one
spectator noted as the
students processed into the
dining hall dressed in various
styles of bathrobes and
shower caps. The purpose of
this colorful parade was to
"roast" Ruth Schmidt.

The festivities began at 5:45
p.m. with the "academic pro-
cession." After all were served
I on of Letitia's finest meals,
toastmistress Kathy Scott in-
troduced the Women of the
Hour and her special guests.

Kathryn Hart, in her famous
role of Dean Julia T. Gary
brought greetings on behalf of
the Dean's staff. Dean Gary's
new "doo" was beautiful. Then
the ever popular Bertie Bond,
portrayed by Ann Weaver

welcomed Ruth warmly while
subtly requesting "equal
rights." Next the ever soft-
spoken Kate McKemmie, por-
trayed by the ever soft-spoken
Vivane Haight welcomed Aunt
Ruth to the world of physical
fitness at Agnes Scott. Then
Bradie Barr playing the role of
Nancy Duggan Childers
welcomed Ruth Ann and en-
couraged her to use inclusive
southern language such as
"y'all". Lastly, Nancy Childers,
as Mrs. Gellerstedt swore
Ruth Ann in as President of
the college. The oath of office
took quite some time. Ap-
parently, the newly roasted
president had trouble pro-
nouncing the syllables with
the proper twang.
The evening included enter-

tainment almost too funny to
mention. The "Dixie Dumpl-
ings" attempted to clog to "9
to 5." Dolly Parton has nothing
to worry about. Then the
"Search Committee"
reinacted the search for Ruth
Ann Schmidt. The London
Frog performed the new col-
lege hymn / Am Woman off-
key. The hilight of the evening
was the episode of "This is
Your Life, Aunt Ruth Ann."

Aunt Ruth addressed the
students with a few words of
thanks which will be
translated into English and
posted in the Hub. The
students raised their toasts'
and threw them at Aunt Ruth,
officially welcoming our new
president to the Agnes Scott
family.

Lebanese Girl Describes Terror In Her Daily Life

Today I complained
because I had to spend the
afternoon in the library. I also
let it be widely known that I did
not enjoy my green beans
cooked the way they were.
Through the negative cloud of
grumbling that I shadowed my
day with I rememembered a
letter from an eighteen-year-
old Lebanese girl describing a
normal day in her life. Sudden-
ly my mouth watered for those
green beans and I looked for
the heat on the sixth floor of
the library. How often I forget
how blessed I am in America
with food, shelter, security,
and love.

Before you complain again
about the English test or .the
way your roommate looked at
you, read this letter. And give
thanks.

Julie Norton

I sit here in physics hearing
the American helicopters con-
stantly buzz back and forth.
The U.S. embassy was blown
up at 1:00. I ran down from
school to see what happened.
I'm horrified. As we rounded
the bend in the Corniche, I saw
huge clouds of black smoke
coming from the burning em-
bassy.

Ambulances one after
another raced past us as we
ran towards the scene. Around
the outside of the embassy is
a crowd of Lebanese army,
French, and Civil Defense
rescue teams trying to control
crowds and let the am-
bulances and fire trucks
through.

The entire intersection is
black with gunpowder and
soot, shrapnel and debris
pieces of flesh and spots of
blood are scattered here and
there from people struck by
shrapnel. The street lights are
down, trees lie broken in half
within a radius of about 200
meters. There are pieces of
metal, long strips of siding
from cars, wrapped around the
railing of the corniche still
hot as I touched them.

The embassy itself is com-
pletely destroyed in the mid-
dle. Where the entryway-
portico was the entire front
has collapsed. The two wings
are on fire and are badly
damaged, all glass, of course,
is gone. The garden and rock
formation in front is levelled
and looks like a moonscape.

There seems to be a gray
blanket of debris and destruc-
tion around the whole area,
the street in front of the em-
bassy is completely covered
and has disappeared beneath
shrapnel and debris as well

as all the tanks, ambulances,
fire trucks and frantic
shouting people.

Marines wander helplessly
around, shocked crying,
unable to speak Arabic and
ask questions of anyone.
Some of the Marine guards
from the embassy that surviv-
ed are running around in or out
of uniform carrying shotguns
and trying to keep control of
themselves as well as the
crowd that is rapidly forming.
The rescue teams are pulling
people out from windows and
various back entrances. Peo-
ple are carried on stretchers,
some horribly wounded, some
in shock all wounded either
slightly or grievously from fly-
ing glass, or blown doors or
objects inside the embassy.

As I arrived, I saw Mary Lee
Maclntyre across the street
running beside her husband
who was on a stretcher. Her
face is a mass of lacerations.
Her husband was put in an am-
bulance and she got in beside
the stretcher. As I watched,
the rescue teams had not been
able to get inside the building,
beneath the rubble, in the bur-
ning smokey areas to where
the real casualties must lie.
The smoke is too think to even
see most of the upper floors.
The damage and injury inside
must be horrendous.

Standing on the Corniche I
can see right through the em-
bassy to the other side. Their
tight security means nothing
now. People emerge, or are
carried, missing limbs, faces,
any remnant of human form.

There is a rescue worker pick-
ing up an arm from beneath a
destroyed car. Marines and
Civil Defense workers are pick-
ing through the rubble with
plastic bags looking for
human remains or remains
of remains. People with light
wounds wander everywhere in
shock, disbelief, wondering
where to go or what to do with
their sudden gift of life. They
are like spectres with an in-
describable expression and
aura of shock about them.
They don't seem to feel their
wounds, however serious or
slight they are. Those who can
walk are obsessed with the
knowledge of the catastrophe
they have survived. They hold

their heads in trying to support
the realization and sight of
such horror. The fact that they
escaped and what they suf-
fered is insignificant com-
pared to what others inside,
dead and dying, suffered and
are suffering now fills them
with more pain and grief than
their bleeding lacerations can.

It's now 3:00 and still the
helicopters are flying back and
forth, adding to the panic and
urgency of every one on the
scene as well as here at
school. As I stood across the
street from the embassy and
looked out to sea, I could see
two American ships lying off-
shore. I can imagine the men
crowding the railings. I ran
down with Heidi, presently
Nadim and Radames showed
up with their cameras. CK was
with them. I wished I had had
my camera. But even if I had I
probably couldn't have gotten
close enough for anything
more than shots of smoke.

I'm out of physics on the ce-
ment block. Radames is here
too crying. Heidi is with
him. Nadim, Ramsey, and CK
are here too. We're shocked
I cried when I was there. Mark
found us and I started then.
We're overwhelmed and numb
and we can't believe it.
Helicopters are wheeling
above us. The school is empty.
Our shock is tremendous. Am-
bulances are still going and

probably will be all night.
There must be at least 50 or
more still trapped iniide.

The first tally is 30 wounded,
two dead just people out-
side the embassy when it went
off. News crews were all over
the place. The same people I
saw last summer, recording
the same horror and depravity
and death and panic that I've
seen so many times before. It
never changes the essence
never changes. The dead look
the same, the wounded sound
the same; they scream and cry
and the language doesn't mat-
ter.

Pain is universal here in
Lebanon it touches
everyone; it maims us as
human beings. The smell is
the same, smoke and dust.
The grime and debris, the fran-
tic rescue teams, shocked
stumbling people, roaring fire,
a hazy smokey view of the
destruction, the faint sugges-

tion of paint and destruction
that our minds couldn't even
begin to understand had we
not been inside and died with
the rest. It's the same, and
nothing has changed. No
peace talks averted this
they are what perpetrated it.
American meddling with the
lives and affairs of the coun-
tries of this region; their hand
in messing around in Lebanon
has brought this.

Even so no country on earth
deserves such a filthy show of
hatred. People like us should
have no memories. There
shouldn't be this shock and
silence among us. I stepped
on a piece of bloody skin on
the Corniche, and I hurt, I hurt
terribly. Radames hurts, I've
never seen him this way, this
affected and lost. I know what
he's feeling, I hurt for him. I
can't believe that its done to
me, to him, to all of us.

THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE

PAGE 9

'The Congresswomen" Takes Over Greek Government

by Debbie McLaughlin

Greece came to the Agnes
Scott stage with all the splen-
dor of togas, Doric columns
and ascanthus leaves the past
two weekends. Under the
direction of Dr. Jack Brooking,
an adaption of Aristophanes'
"The Congresswomen" per-
vaded Winter Theatre May 13,
14 and 20, 21.

Dr. Brooking comments on
his choice for the spring play,
"Two springs ago I was on
sabbatical in Greece. I saw the
rehearsals for Arostophanes'
play at the National Theatre
and thought it would be a
wonderful play to perform at
Agnes Scott especially with
its large number of women's
roles."

Although the play in itself is
quite bawdy, Dr. Brooking
comments, "I paired the play
down quite a bit. The original
was much racier. Yet, the
spirit of the play is its comedy
without it, it would be a
bland operetta."

Overall, "The Con-
gresswomen" proved to be a
mellee of fun, excitement, ac-
tion, and laughter. At the start,
the stage was completely
empty, and no programs were
handed out. What was going
on?

Professor Witheredspoon
stumbles across the stage
dropping books. Was he an
unknown professor at Agnes
Scott? Harold Hall, playing the
professor, proceed on stage to
talk about the "bawdy,
obscene, and pornographic"
while showing slides for his
topic "Attic Antics" or "An-
cient Pop Porn."

All of a sudden the pro-
fessor is hurled off the stage
and the play begins. The set
arrives, the women of Athens
hang out their laundry which
drapes the set, and papyrus
scroll programs are thrown to
the audience.

Of his adding a professor to
the play Dr. Brooking says, "I
always wanted to make a
scholarly approach to a bawdy
comedy, especially to a
classical play where someone
would provide footnotes and
clarify for the audience."

Praxagora, played by Jill
Royce, enters praying to the
gods. Jill was a perfect choice
as leading lady. An RTC stu-
dent at Agnes Scott, Jill is
older than the average Agnes
Scott student and has the
realistic maturity and wisdom
to aid her in leading a younger
group.

Her group, the Upper and
Lower Class Choruses, march
to the stage singing from the
sidelines of the audience. The
Upper Class show their
superiority by stately and elo-
quent gestures; the Lower
Class exhibits unrefinement
by rudeness.

The Upper Class Chorus
consisted of Dee Moore
(leader), Libba Boyd, Amy Hut-
chinson, Maggie Taylor, and
Harriet Vaughn. Those com-
prising the Lower Class
Chorus were Patricia Maguire
(leader), Susan Boyd, Anne
Brooks, Cayce Callaway, Jen
Shelton and Ginger Thomp-
son. Ann Dupree played the
additional Harridan.

The uniformity and succinc-

day, and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
Tickets are $6 ($7 on Friday
and Saturday night). There will

tness of the women's prepara-
tions for marching to Con-
gress were quite evident. As
they adorned their black and
brown cloaks, wooden shoes,
masks, beards and took sticks
in hand they were all in time
and beat and appeared quite
determined in their masculine
marching.

While the women are plann-
ing this big takeover, their
husbands are back at home.
Blepyrus and Phartallis are
busy at the public privy
discussing the matters of the
day. Marty Wallis did an ex-
cellent job of playing the Old
Man Blepyrus. With his croaky
voice, gray hair, wrinkled
mask, and decrepit
movements he was a smash.
Marty's professional ism
definitely showed through in
the play. Earlier this year Mar-
ty had leading roles in both the
children's play "Aladdin" and
the fall production, "The
Rhimers of Eldritch."

Ted Jones played Thartallis.
Over six foot tall, Ted looked
quite ridiculous in his wife's
pink nighty. His wife, Sexta,
had stolen his clothes for the
takeover. The fiesty Sexta was
performed by Cam Bosley.

The privy scene is quite
amusing as the public provi-
sion is the reversible altar that
Praxagora was praying to
earlier. Also, the men ex-
perience a "blockage on the
toilet," adding to the amuse-
ment.

Cremes comes to the scene.
Dressed in the "only cloak he
can afford with taxes the way
they are," Cremes, performed
by Dick Munroe, was quite a

complainer. Cremes an-
nounces that the women have
taken over the state.

Dr. Brooking talks about the
contrast of the men to the
women, "The men are such
odd guys so they are featured
as more grotesque in the
play." When the women finally
appear with the men on stage
their vitality and demanding
natures, contrasting to the
men's flimsiness, are sharply
noticed.

Praxagora announces her
new plans for the government.
The women are for a
socialistic society where
everything is owned by
everybody. Most nerving, they
have also decided to be put in
law the provision that "if a
man wants a young thing he
has to deal with an old hag
first."

One of Dr. Brooking's adap-
tations is the addition of a
finale to the scene. All the cast
sings the contemporary Greek
song "Up Aphrodite." The
stage looked like a three ring
circus as dancing girls twirled
on stage, slave boys juggled
and showed their Herculean
muscles, ribbons were added,
and a personage was uplifted
from a trap well at the front of
the stage. The finale proved to
be a multi-talented mixture of
activity.

Graceful Shaun Dock, Jayne
Huber, and Suet Teing Lim
were the Dancing Girls. Craig
Wiggers and Jonathan Keith
were adorable Slave Boys.
Miriam Garrett as the Sweet
Young Thing, Chris Trump as
the Young Man, Cayce

Callaway as the Hag, and
Margaret Shippen as the
Crone, staged what I believe to
be the best executed scene of
the play.

The Young Man is in the
predicament of how to get the
Sweet Young Thing without
tangling with the Hag first.
The triangular fight begins
among the Young Man, Sweet
Young Thing, and the Hag.
With her uniquely sweet voice
Miriam was a perfect Sweet
Young Thing. With his good
looks and Cary Grant voice
Chris was a heartbreaker at
the Young Man. Theatre major
Cayce Callaway was a
perfected Hag.

The Crone makes it to the
scene. Margaret Shippen, who
usually plays elderly women,
eased into the role of the
Crone. At this point, both the
Crone and the Hag vie for the
Young Man. He is in- a "split
decision" as each grabs one
of his legs. To the surmised
desires of the audience, "what
was his name, Apigenes,"
ends in kissing the Sweet
Young Thing.

John Hibbert as the Citizen
gives a marvelous Fonzi
rebellion by refusing to enter
thedining hall by turning in his
possessions. Yet, he complies
and the play ends in a com-
munal banquet which includes
the audience.

However, as Dr. Brooking
points out, "Aristophanes real-
ly speaks to us. He is so con-
temporary in that our world to-
day is going through the same
problems that he expressed in
his society."

Music Majors Perform No Minor Feat

by Frances Harrell

Who are those people
whose second home seems to
be in Presser Hall? Well, they
are commonly known as
"Music Majors." Right now
there are ten music majors:
Seniors- Mary Jane Golding
(voice), Leigh Lee Keng (piano),
and Melanie Roberts (piano);
Juniors-Katy Esary (organ),
Louise Gravely (piano), and
Frances Harrell (piano);
Sophomores-Tami Etheredge
(organ) and Kristen Sojourner
(voice), and Freshmen-Lissa
Herndon (piano) and Michele

Ingram (oboe).

At the end of her senior
year, the music major per-
forms in an hour long program
known as her senior recital.
The recital, as well as any
other performance, is a means
of communicating the
message to be found in music.
As Jay Fuller, professor of
music, explains, "Music is
something to be shared." It is
as if the musician is saying,
"Come along with me and let's
enjoy this music together."
Leigh Keng believes that
music majors need some ex-

perience of performing
because "We have to cope
with the pressure of playing
for people." A performance as
long as the senior recital truly
gives the student an idea of
what is involved in performing.
"Performing is a different
mental concept than practic-
ing," relates Mr. Fuller. "Per-
forming demonstrates
capabilities both technical
and musical" developed in
practicing. The music major
must be very disciplined with
her practice time. As Louise
Gravely explains, "In order to
give an effective, good pro-
gram, a musician must 'live'
with her pieces long enough to
present them as part of
herself, not just the composer.
That time is above and beyond
the hours of sheer technical
work it takes to master a new
piece."

Preparation for the recital
often begins in the Junior
year, sometimes even as early
as the Sophomore year. Many
hours of "blood, sweat, and
tears" go into a senior recital.
The music major must
sacrifice other things for her
music and must invest a great
deal of energy day after day.
Being a music major may
seem hard and it is (especially
since several students are
double majors with English or
math), but it is all worth it. We
do it because we love music
and we want to share it.

Carol Charming Brings
Message of Dolly Levi

Carol Channing in a scene from "Hello, Dolly!"

by Tracy Baker and
Colleen O'Neill

Carol Channing, one of the
world's most energetic and
popular comediennes, brought
the lovable Dolly Levi to the
Fox Theatre last week in a
revival of the Broadway
musical, "Hello, Dolly!" Based
on Thornton Wilder's The Mat-
chmaker, the show is about a
woman who makes up her
mind to shoot for the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow
and reaches it. Dolly is
dedicated to the pursuit of
mirth, money, and marriage,
setting her hooks on the man
she intends to marry and cat-
ching him. Audiences around
the world have fallen in love
with this zany, exuberant
character.

Miss Channing's name is
synonymous with the best in
American musical theater.
Growing up in San Francisco,
her first acting experience was
as a child in a school produc-
tion. She imitated funny peo-
ple at the school, including the
president of the student body.
She was thrilled when

everyone laughed at her imita-
tions. As she said at a press
conference In Atlanta last
week, "What I laughed at
alone in my room, ail people
laughed at. We are ail the
same." After her performance
she prayed to experience that
"warm, wonderful, close affec-
tion" with an audience again.

After attending Bennington
College, Miss Channing ap-
peared on Broadway in "Lend
An Ear." She created the
legendary Lorelei Lee in
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
On January 16, 1964 she star-
red as Dolly Levi in the open-
ing of "Hello, Dolly!" and has
continued to bring the show to
the people for nearly 20 years.
Miss Channing won both a
Torty and a Critics' Circle
Award for this role. In addition
to a dazzling Broadway career,
she has achieved stardom
through nightclub perfor-
mances, screen roles in-
cluding starring in
"Thoroughly Modern Millie,"
and television productions.
She has received numerous
Emmy and Oscar nominations.

When asked why the
character of Dolly Gallagher
Levi is so special to her. Miss
Channing replied, "it's so op-
timistic." "Hello, Dolly!" is ter-
ribly American. It is about all
our grandmothers." Like all of
Thornton Wilder's plays,
"Hello, Dolly!" concerns the
survival of mankind. "People
have to stick together to make
it." says Miss Channing. She
says Dolly intends to "get into
that parade," which is the ex-
citement and exuberance in
living.

Thornton Wilder saw "Hello,
Doily!" over and over again
and loved it because Carol
Channing presents very well
his message of survival.
"Sometimes I think Dolly is
Thornton Wilder," says Miss
Channing, who, too, is "in the
parade," full of energy and
love of life. She has certainly
made her mark on the
American theater. Dolly Levi is
a classic American character,
and Miss Channing will
hopefully continue to bring her
to the people.

Art Majors Display Work In Show

by Susan Whitten

From May 15 to June 15,
works by the Senior Art majors
are being displayed in the
Dalton Galleries of Dana Fine
Arts Building. The painting,
pottery and other works are
being exhibited by Katie Blan-
ton, Cynthia Hite, Carol Mc-
Cranie, Anne Drue Miller, Amy
Potts and Susan Warren. Inter-
views with several of the ar-
tists give more insight into
their works.

Katie Blanton, a painter,
had dabbled in art before com-

ing to Agnes Scott but had
never had any formal instruc-
tion. Through encouragement
from her aunt and grand-
mother (both artists) and many
visits to nearby museums,
Katie first developed her in-
terest in art. After trying dif-
ferent art forms, she decided
she liked painting best
because it allows more lee-
way for change once the work
is begun. According to Katie,
her work has "flowed back and
forth between slightly realistic
and abstract." Nevertheless,

Art Major Amy Potts

color and its effects on people
are the main emphasis of her
work. Her early work is full of
bright colors, however, during
the past year it has become
"lighter and paler," she added.
The ideas for Katie's non-
representational works range
from abstractions of
photographs and myths to
"just putting paint on the can-
vas," she said. Although she is
both an English and Art major,
Katie plans to continue her art
by pursuing her masters
degree in museum studies at
Virginia Commonwealth
University in the near future.

Carol McCranie's work has
changed from "picture-perfect
to more abstract," she says.
Encouraged by her family, she
began drawing fashion
designs in high school. Since
art was "the one and only con-
sistent factor in my life," it
was a natural major combined
with English, another favorite.
As seen in her work, she is still
very interested in fashion
design, which she hopes (in
the near future) to pursue at
Parsons, a leading design
school in New York. However,
these designs are not often
combined with abstract ones.

Getting ideas is easy for
her, Carol explained, because
her "dreams are incredible"
and she is "very
spontaneous." Once develop-
ing an idea, Carol works
quicky because she likes to
get it out on the canvas right
away. With this speed, she has
done some painting in one
afternoon. Her works are
primarily a reflection on a par-

ticular aspect of life. For ex-
ample, the work using pieces
of broken records is a "sar-
castic comment about stupid
records that made it big,"
Carol said. Against the
abstract painting, the broken
record pieces and words
"gag" and "smashing hit" em-
phasize her point.

Amy Potts, who had sampl-
ed a variety of disciplines and
wanted to major in all of them
by her sophomore year, ma-
jored in art because it was
"most logical at the time." (As
Amy said, she always enjoys
most whatever she is doing.
She was taking art; therefore
she enjoyed it most). A potter
and an airbrush artist, Amy
likes art that is "functional
and spontaneous." She
describes each work as "a lit-
tle statement of herself." Star-
ting with a basic theme for
each work, Amy often even
forsees the title before com-
pletely creating the piece. For
example, one silkscreen print,
"Summer '83," is a comment
on her upcoming bicycle trip
which includes prints of maps
and bicycles that she had
been pursuing for some time.
Encouraged by Mrs. Weber,
who reassured her in her posi-
tion as an artist, Amy will con-
tinue in art. Starting this sum-
mer, she will serve as an ap-
prentice to a potter in
Nashville, Tennessee. In the
future, she may also pursue a
Masters in Fine Arts degree.

For a taste of culture or a
break from studying, drop by
the Dalton Galleries to see
these works. Take your

for sale.

Atlanta Ballet Announces New Season

by Tracy Baker

Ballet is one of the most ex-
citing and most beautiful
forms of art. Dance, drama,
music, scenery, and costumes
are all integral parts of each
performance. Every ballet is
unique. The story may be a
classical romance, a playful
comedy, or a heart-wrenching
tragedy. One evening at the
ballet can offer a limitless
variety of technical virtuosity
and beautiful movement.

As one of the nation's
leading ballet companies, the
Atlanta Ballet offers each
season a repertory to interest
both new enthusiasts and
lifelong ballet lovers. The
Atlanta Ballet has just an-
nounced its 1983-84 season,
which promises a year of
fabulous dancing.

The first program is
scheduled for October 13, 14,
and 15. Included are
"Serenade," choreographed
by George Balanchine with
music by Tchaikovsky.
Another Tchaikovsky piece is
the "Tchaikovsky Pas de
Deux," also choreographed by
Balanchine. The pas de deux
is set to part of the original
music from Swan Lake. "Palm
Court" is one of seven world
premieres to be presented this
season. Set in a hotel lobby at
the turn of the century, this
piece is choreographed by
Anastos. "Threads from a Str-
ing of Swing," set to music by
Glenn Miller, returns again
this season due to the tremen-
dous public acclaim after the
performance last year.

November 10, 11, and 12 are
the dates of the second pro-
gram, which features a
premiere by Lynne Taylor Cor-

'Threads from a String of Swing"

bett. Also included in the per-
formance are "Square Dance,"
with music by Corelli and
choreography by Balanchine,
and "Pas Trop Vite," by
Shostakovich and Sutowski.
The final piece to be perform-
ed this weekend is "Paquita,"
a classical ballet with music
by Minkus. "Paquita" is
choreographed by Marius
Petipa, the Russian artist who
had a tremendous impact on
classical dance due to his in-
terpretations of great ballets.

The Atlanta Ballet presents
The Nutcracker, the well loved
holiday story of Clara and her
handsome Nutcracker Prince,
December 1-18. With music by
Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker
is choreographed by George
Balanchine.

The dramatic ballet Car-
mina Burana will be presented
February 23, 24, and 25. With a
full chorus, this world
premiere is erotic and lavish.
Music is by Orff, and the
choreographer is Nault. Also
on this program are "Arensky
Dances," with music by Aren-
sky and choreography by
Barnett.

March 29, 30, and 31 are
"Premiere Nights." The Ballet
presents four ballets never
performed before, but the
pieces are to remain a sur-
prise.

The final performance of the
season is The Sleeping Beau-
ty, another classic
choreographed by Petipa.
With music by Tchaikovsky,
this is a new version of the

Arts Festival Facilitates Concern
For More Than "The Bottom Line

by Betsy Benning

Sunday, May 15 marked the
end of Atlanta's 30th annual
Arts Festival in Piedmont
Park. This event is primarily
sponsored by Atlanta-area
businesses in an attempt to
bring the arts to the people.
The exhibits include not only
traditional forms of art such
as painting or ceramics, but
also representative works
from theatre, dance, and
music. A highlight of this
year's festival included two
presentations of the Alliance
Theatre's production of
"Twelth Night" which was
sponsored by Citizens &
Southern Bank.

One of the original purposes
for the Arts Festival was to ex-
pose a wide variety of people
to the arts. By featuring many
diverse mediums of art in a
centralized location, festival
guests have the opportunity to
see exhibits which they might
not normally beable to see. Ar-
tists from all over the nation
come to the park to display
their work. The festival also br-
ings together artists of various
cultural backgrounds. Thus,
the visitor has the chance to
see how similar art forms dif-
fer between cultures.

Although art is the festival's
main attraction, the visitor's
experience will not be limited
to art alone. The people who

attend the festival can be an
interesting experience in
themselves. Because this
event draws people from many
socio-economic backgrounds,
one has the opportunity to
observe or to talk to people
with whom she does not usual-
ly associate. When the time
comes for lunch or dinner,
guests of the festival may
choose anything to eat from a

croissant to an egg roll to the
classic American hot dog.

The Arts Festival has indeed
achieved its goal of in-
tegrating the arts and the peo-
ple. The large numbers of
visitors during the festival in-
dicate its success. This event
has also given businesses a
chance to show that they are
concerned with more than just
the "bottom line."

"The Sleeping Beauty"

lovely fairy tale story of the
princess Aurora and her hand-
some prince.

The 1983-84 season at the
ballet promises to be a
brilliant one, with music by
great composers like
Tchaikovsky and
choreography by some of the
world's finest, including the
legendary George Balanchine
and Marius Petipa. Each
schedule includes perfor-
mance on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights, with a
new matinee performance
scheduled for Saturday after-
noons. Season tickets, which
are availble now, range in
price from $100 to $20 for
evening performances and $88
to $10 for the matinees.
Season tickets include the

four repertory concerts and a
choice of The Nutcracker or
The Sleeping Beauty. Students
receive a discount on season
ticket prices. Season ticket
holders receive discounts to
some of Atlanta's finest
restaurants, and a subscrip-
tion to Ballet Backstage, the
Atlanta Ballet newsletter.
Subscribers are also invited
on a marvelous trip to Russia,
which includes visits to the
Bolshoi and Kirov Ballets. This
tour is offered to subscribers
at an incredibly low price. For
more information on season
tickets or individual perfor-
mances cal the Atlanta Ballet

dar for next year's exciting
ballet performances.

Silver Screen
Becomes Plaza Theatre

by Tracy Baker

The Silver Screen Theatre,
which has presented vintage
movies in Atlanta for more
than six years, recently had to
close because the owners
were unable to renew the

lease on the building in the
Peachtree Battle Shopping
Center. However, they have ac-
quired the Plaza Theatre, on
Ponce de Leon, which is adja-
cent to the infamous Plaza
Drug store.

This theater, built in 1939,
has many features typical of
the old movie theaters. The
owners plan to do extensive
renovating before opening the
theatre, and hope to preserve
the art-deco features. They
feel that this theater will be
more aesthetically suited to
the type of movie program-
ming for which the Silver
Screen is noted.

Retaining the Plaza Theatre
name and marquee, the
owners plan to add a new
lighted parking lot in the rear
of the building. They hope to
reopen the theater in the early
part of the summer. Since the
Plaza Drug Store has recently
been bought by the Treasury
Drug Store chain and the
owners of the theater plan to
add lighting and landscaping
to the parking lot, the Silver
Screen will hopefully know
continued success as the
Plaza Theater.

Sundance Kids Ride Again

by Ann Weaver
and Amy Little

Pitch! Swing! Crack! It's a
base hit for Sharon Maitland!
Yes, folks, it's another ex-
citing day at the ball park.
Tuesday, May 10, the Sun-
dance Kids out-maneuvered
the Faculty-Staff (fondly
known as "Old Bags"). Both
teams got off to a great start.
The game began with
Maitland's single. Then Kay
Manuel and Nancy Manson
both hit pop flies which led to
two outs. Eloise Carter hit a
double which knocked in
Maitland followed by a
homerun hit by Marcia Mit-
chell. Maitland made the third
out by popping one up to a
waiting Angela Smith. With a
score of two to nothing, the
Kids came to bat.

Angela Smith started off
with a single. Successive
singles by Janet Dawson and
Laura Feese loaded the bases.
Laura Lones hit a single which
brought in Smith for the
sophomores, giving them one
run. Liz Filer hit a triple which
brought in Dawson, Feese,
and Lones. Three consecutive
fly balls were then caught by
Manson at first base which
brought the inning to a close
with the score standing at
Kids-4 and Faculty-Staff-3.

The second inning began
with two quick outs. The first
two batters hit flies to Bradie
Barr but she came through for
the Kids as she caught both
hits. Next, Carter and Mitchell
followed their routine again by
hitting a single and a homerun
to bring the score to a 5-4 lead
for the Faculty-Staff. Kate
McKemie and Penny Wistrand
each hit singles, but before
they could make it home to a
score, Maitland hit a fly which
was caught by Barr to make
the third out.

The Sundance Kids follow-
ed with a rally by scoring nine
runs with several base hits.

Filer slammed another triple
which brought in two runners
followed by Barr's base hit
which brought Filer home for a
total score of 13.

When the Faculty-Staff
team returned to bat, they fac-
ed a score of 5-13. Manson
then hit a fly to Bradie (it was
suspected that Bradie had
magnets in her glove and in
the ball), which made it one
down and two to go. Carter's
single put a total of two run-
ners on base which were
brought home by yet another

homerun hit by Mitchell. The
Faculty-Staff had now brought
the score up to 8-13. McKemie
slammed a grounder to Lones
who threw her out for out
number two. Penny Wistrand,
who, after being tackled by
Feese at first base, got all the
way to second base. However,
Wistrand never made it home
to score because the next hit
by Maitland was fielded by
Smith for the third and final
out. The game ended with the
score: Sundance Kids- 13 and
"Old Bags"-8.

Julie Bradley and Kappy Wilkes cheer on the sidelines.

Aids: Not a Gay Matter

by Tracey Veal

More commonly known as
Aquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome, AIDS has recently
become a major health issue.
Although the specific cause of
AIDS is unknown, the latest
scientific reports suggest that
AIDS is caused by an infec-
tious agent, possibly a virus.
The virus is opportunistic in-
sofar as its victims are those
who immune systems are
defective. The lymphocytes,
the cells which are essential
to the immune system, are
most affected by the virus. The
lymphocytes in AIDS victims
are depressed both in number
and in function, thus causing
rapid deterioration of their
respective immune system.

One of the major concerns
regarding AIDS is the
possibility that it may be
spread through blood and
blood products. Hemophiliacs,
by the very nature of their con-
dition, must frequently utilize
'donated' blood and blood pro-

ducts, thus they are at a high
risk of contracting AIDS. Ac-
cording to John Curan, head of
the CDC task force in-
vestigating AIDS, "the risk for
others (who receive blood pro-
ducts) not only appears small,
but is unknown."

Those at high risk of con-
tracting AIDS, in addition to
hemophiliacs, include:
homosexual and bisexual men
who are extremely active sex-
ually (about 75% of the AIDS
victims fall under this
category), persons using in-
travenous drugs for prolonged
periods of time, and Haitians.
The disease is believed to be
transmitted sexually in
homosexual and bisexual
men, and spread by con-
taminated needles in drug
users. The reason for the
prevalence in Haitians is
unclear. Heterosexuals many
also be at risk. Curran states
"there are some indications
that AIDS may also be

Scott Hosts NAIA
Tournament

Soaking up sun and watching fantastic tennis matches;
what better way to spend a Saturday or Sunday? This Saturday
morning marked the beginning of the NAIA Women's Tennis
Tournament Dist. 25, hosted by Agnes Scott. The six colleges
that participated were: Agnes Scott College, Armstrong State
College, Brenau College, Flagler College, Shorter College, and
West Georgia College.

Coach Jo Ann Messick's team consisted of: No. 1 seeded
Sue Feese, No. 2 Virginia Boulding, No. 3 Amy Puckett, No. 4
Sarah Bell, No. 5 Tammy Jenkins, and No. 6 Tracy Baker. ASC
scores were as follows:

SINGLES

Ann Merkle (Brenau) over Sue Feese 4-6,7-5,6-0

Pam Purvis (W. Georgia) over Virginia Bouldin 6-4, 6-4

Lynn Tucker (Armstrong) over Amy Puckett 6-3, 5-7, 6-2

Lori Holbrook (W. Georgia) over Sarah Bell 7-5, 6-1

Dawn Gracen (Armstrong) over Tammy Jenkins 6-2, 6-2

Shari Miller (Brenau) over Tracy Baker 6-2.6-2

DOUBLES
*Feese-Bouldin over Thigpen-Buchheit
(Armstrong) 2-6,6-0. 6-4

Furderburk-Carlin (Flagler) over Feese-Bouldin 6-1,6-0

Sechler-Drinkard (Brenau) over Puckett-Bell 7-5, 7-6

Wiles-Meals (W. Georgia) over Baker-Jenkins 6-4,6-2

The competition was really tough. For example, Flagler Col-
lege has been out for a while and practicing hard. The Agnes
Scott team put up a good fight before they were eliminated
from the tournament.

Sue Feese and Virginia Bouldin (No. 1 doubles) reached
semi-finals by defeating Armstrong. They had good matches.

Special thanks go to Miss McKemie and Miss Manuel who
were instrumental in helping with the tournament. Laurie
McBrayer compiled the program with the help of Virginia
Bouldin. Nancy Childers signed all of the certificates artistical-
ly, and she as responsible for an excellent printing of the pro-
grams.

We are proud of our tennis team, and we look forward to a
super season next year!

transmitted by heterosexual

timate contact such as that |
between mother and child."

Not everyone agrees with
the conclusion of the CDC
task force and many other in-
vestigators, that AIDS is caus-
ed by an infectios agent,
presumably a virus. However,
because of the seriousness of
AIDS (in 1982, AIDS was the
second leading cause of death
for hemophiliacs: AIDS may
kill up to 70% of its victims
within two years of diagnosis),
many are in favor of introduc-
ing measures to prevent per-
sons who might be carrying an
infectious agent from
donating blood or blood
plasma. One of the greatest
challenges confronting the in-
vestigators is the implementa-
tion of such measures. Re-
questing that members of the
high-risk groups indicated
refrain from donating blood is

The Dance Barre

by Mary MacKinnon

As spring quarter draws to a
close, Studio Dance Theatre
has already begun to look
ahead to next year by making
exciting plans.

In the winter a dance piece
will be set for the company to
perform by dancer-
choreographer Sara Yar-
brough. Previously, the com-
pany had "Dolls," a work per-
formed this year, set by dance
designer Betsy Blair. Ms. Yar-
brough will use approximately
four SDT members in her
dance.

A video of "Southern Com-
fort," a comprehensive dance
work that resulted from the
research efforts of Marylln
Darling into the folk dance

forms of Georgia, will be film-
ed for cable television. The
program, expected to be
shown in the fall, will be
scripted so that the
significance of the dances can
be explained.

Beginning next year, an ASC
alumna and former SDT
member is expected to head a
fund raising project for SDT.
SDT will be raising money in
order to purchase a much
needed marley floor on which
to perform, and also a set of
headphones for off-stage com-
munications among stage
directors during dance perfor-
mances in Gaines Auditorium.
SDT itself will be involved in
many fund raising projects
during the coming year. Look
for tote bags and bake sales
and support SDT's efforts!

one approach. Automatically
excluding all members of high
risk groups is another more
controversial approach. This
second measure stigmatizes
all homosexual males when
only a fraction those who
are extremely sexually pro-
miscuous are likely to
transmit AIDS. Past and pre-
sent users of intravenous
drugs and hemophiliacs are
already excluded from
donating blood. A third

measure is actual blood
screening for the infectious
agent. Although the measure
may detect up to 90% of the
AIDS carriers without
stigmatization, it would be ex-
pensive and time consuming.

The media by and large
seems to have focused its at-
tention on issues which in-
directly relate to AIDS. The
main question still remains,
and that is: What causes
AIDS?
