ASC Celebrates Renovation: Rebekah and Main

by Rebecca Earnshaw

Students, faculty, staff and
friends celebrated the renovation
of the college's two oldest build-
ings at the rededication ceremony
on Monday September 1. The
guest speaker was Hansford
Sams Jr., whose mother, Louise
Scott Sams, was present at the
dedication of Main in 1891. Eight
years old at the time, she laid the
cornerstone of the building that
her grandfather. Colonel George

W. Scott, was instrumental in
building. Participating in the
ribbon cutting were: President
Ruth Schmidt; Milton Scott, grand-
son of George W. Scott and
trustee emeritus: Betty Scott
Noble, great granddaughter of
George W. Scott and trustee;
Suzeila Burns Newsome. trustee;
Heather Mosely, president of
Main; and Monica Pina. president
of Rebekah. The opening of Main
(as Agnes Scott Hall is popularly
known) and Rebekah marks a
great stride in the college's ongo-
ing renovation project.

Private Sources
of Financial Aid
Available for Students

College students in need of
financial aid for this academic
year were urged to investigate
private foundation sources by
Steve Danz. Director of The
Scholarship Bank.

According to the director, there
are over 500 million sources in
private financial aid that often go
unused. This imbalance is due to
the fact that college students until
now have not had a reliable
method of finding out about the
numerous private aid sources.
The Scholarship Bank has com-
puterized this information and will
send each applicant a per-
sonalized print-out of private aid
sources that appear just right for
each applicant.

'if

College students can find funds
based on major, occupational
goals, geographic preferences
and approximately 30 other
criteria. Financial need is not
stressed as heavily in private aid
as in government funding. Numer-
ous new grants exist this year for
business, liberal arts, health care,
law, and humanities. Students are
also urged to investigate well-
paying corporate internships as
part of their over-all financial
package.

Students interested in supple-
menting their current financial
aids should send a stamped, self-
addressed business-sized en-
velope to The Scholarship Bank.

Featuring electricity generated
from its own plant, steam heating,
hot and cold water, and sanitary
plumbing. Main was a showplace
of architectural design and mod-
ern facilities 95 years ago. The
total cost of the building, including
the land and furnishings, was
$112,500, the largest individual
gift to a school in Georgia at that
time. The new building drew
publicity and attracted many
visitors, many of whom became
students. Once again Main, newly
renovated, is attracting attention
and admiration as the College
approaches its second century.

Honor Court Update

by Jacqueline Stromberg

After a very productive Fall
retreat held at Rock Eagle Camp
with SGA, Interdorm and BSA.
Honor Court looks forward to a
successful year. Already the court
has held its Honor System orienta-
tions, receiving enthusiastic re-
sponses from the new students
and faculty Dr. Leon Venable.
Assistant Professor of Chemistry,
spoke at the Honor Court convo-
cation held September 10th in
Gaines, at which time all the new
students had the opportunity to
sign officially the Honor Pledge.
A party was held later that evening
to celebrate the students' accept-
ance of the Honor System as their
way of life.

In the next few weeks, the court
will be issuing The "Honor Court's
Statement on the Alcohol Policy."
The statement serves to give the

Premiere Convoca-
tions included
speeches by Presi-
dent Schmidt, SGA
President Melanie
Sherk, and the Pres-
ident of the Board of
Trustees, L. L. Gel-
lerstedt, Jr., ending
with the placing of
the new bell into the
tower of Agnes
Scott Hall.

courts philosophy regarding the
change in Georgia's legal drinking
age from 20 to 21 years of age. It
is hoped that the statement will
promote understanding of and
adherence to the updated alcohol
policy, which takes effect on
September 30. 1986.

As for plans beyond Sep-
tember . . . Having spent the sum-
mer devising a budget, arranging
for a keynote speaker and writing
a guest list, the court decided that
more time was needed to plan its
Honor System Conference. Origi-
nally planned for February of
1987. the conference has been
postponed. This winter will be
spent designing and administer-

ing a survey to interested schools
in order to have their input as to
a conference agenda. The pos-
sibilities for a conference are great
and by no means has such an
event been canceled indefinitely.

As always. Honor Court is
interested in campus response to
all of its current activities and
plans for the future. If you have
any questions or comments,
please contact any Honor Court
member. And Class of 1990. begin
thinking about whom you would
like to represent you on the court.
Elections for one freshman repre-
sentative will be held after Black
Cat.

"So how does it feel to be
back?" The question is dropped
on my plate (thanks. Eliot) inno-
cently enough, but as a senior
coping with the double strain of
the post-Junior Year Abroad
syndrome ("reverse culture
shock." as Dean Hail puts it) and
the adjustment to a strangely
unfamiliar campus, the answer is
a rather cautious "different."
Granted, it's not the most colorful
response imaginable, but it
seems the only word apt and
open enough to express the
irreconcilable tension between
old and new. then and now.

Agnes Scott is changing at a
furious rate. To the ranks of the
renovated Main and Rebekah are
now added; the well-loved Hub.
Agnes Scott's hbrary-turned-
student center, bowed in the name
of progress, and the first blades
of grass now rise in its vacant
place; an impressive Evans Ter-
race Center serves as a new
recreation facility for students;
plans for new physical education
facilities continue despite set-
backs . . . and students and ad-
ministration alike scramble for
temporary organizational and
departmental offices in the
whirlwind of change.

Although the more apparent,
the physical changes in the
campus are rather evenly
matched by the internal changes.
No less than 12 new faculty
members join the Agnes Scott
community this fall; in turn, many
familiar faces are missing, as
many faculty members have

moved on to new pursuits for a
wide variety of reasons. In addi-
tion to new faces, a new semester
system has been instated which
has effected a novel kinship
between freshmen and up-
perclassmen who find themselves
similarly disoriented.

I haven't actually done a word
count, but it must be obvious by
now that the word "new" figures
quite prominantly here. The ques-
tion foremost in my mind as I
scramble to digest all the events
which have occurred in the past
year and their underlying import
to the future orientation of the
college is: "What role does The
Profile play in the big scheme 9 "

But even as I ask it of myself,
the answer is apparent. It's the
same answer I always find swim-
ming up from something that
students like to call the conscience.

Change, like everything else,
belongs in perspective. The build-
ings and faces may change they
may even rip up every old brick
from every treacherous, well-
worn sidewalk but Agnes Scott
still claims and will always claim
a tradition of devotion to liberal
learning. The challenge for us as
we move forward with our ever
changing Agnes Scott is to remain
true to this tradition. We can do
nothing less.

The Profile, in turn, will serve
as it always has: it is a platform
for the frank, uninhibited ex-
change of thought and opinion,
and it is a source of sound
information based on proper
journalistic inquiry and investiga-
tion. A loyalty to the pursuit of truth
and a celebration of the free
press: some things never change.

ACLU Director Questions Use of Urinalysis to Detect Drug Abuse

by Gene Guerrero

The engineer, a born-again
Christian who worked for a Geor-
gia company, was shocked when
a routine urine test indicated drug
use, possibly because he had
recently drunk herbal tea. Al-
though the employee had an
excellent record and a second
test he had taken came back
negative, he was fired.

As a former construction
worker, who once witnessed a
fatal accident on the job, I can
appreciate the need for worker
safety. Yet, it is disturbing to see
in Georgia, as well as the rest of
the country, the rapid increase in
well-intended boardroom policies
requiring urine tests of all employ-
ees to detect for drug abuse.

The rush to use this new testing
technique is reminiscent of the
rise in popularity of lie detectors.
That alone should give us pause.

Fifteen years ago, many firms
started using polygraph test in an
effort to control shrinkage (em-
ployee theft). On March 12 the
U.S. House of Representatives
passed the Polygraph Protection
Act of 1986 which, if adopted by
the Senate and signed into law,
will prohibit the use of polygraphs
for employment screening pur-
poses in most American indus-
tries. The legislation is supported
by a diverse group of Con-
gressmen including conserva-
tives Sen. Orrin Hatch and Rep.
Jack Kemp, who describes the
use of lie detectors by industry as
"an unconscionable (and) ... hu-
miliating invasion of privacy."
Independent scientists have
found that there is no scientific

validity for the use of lie detectors
for employment screening pur-
poses. You might as well flip a
coin.

Urinalysis is intended to aid
management in detecting drug
use by employees to ensure that
workers are fully alert and produc-
tive on the job. Advocates of the
screening technique, many whom
are engaged in the fast growing
business of providing urine tests,
argue that drug use among
workers is growing by leaps and
bounds.

In fact, the problem caused by
alcohol abuse is much greater. A
study in 1984 for the Alcohol, Drug
Abuse and Mental Health Admin-
istration found that while there
was an increase in drug use
during the 1970's, since 1979
usage has significantly de-
creased, while alcohol abuse
levels have remained constantly
high.

Dr. Arnold Trebach, Director of
the Institute on Drugs, Crime and
Justice at American University,
estimates that out of 240 million
Americans more than 100 million
use alcohol and 10 to 13 million
are probably addicted to it. He
estimates that three million Amer-
icans may smoke marijuana once
a day and anywhere from 50,000
to 750,000 use cocaine every-day.

Atlanta's National Business
Crime Information Network esti-
mated that last year alcohol abuse
cost U.S. business about $115
billion in lost productivity. Drug
abuse, they estimated, cost busi-
ness about $15 billion. (The same
analysis indicated that shoplifting
cost business about $30 billion,
while white collar crime took about
$70 billion.)

Policy oi^fise

Of course, that does not mean
that there is no drug abuse
problem. It simply means that
overall, the abuse of drugs seems
to be declining, except for alcohol.

As with lie detectors tests, one
problem is that urine tests can be
unreliable. They result in a high
percentage of false positive re-
sults. Frequently, a worker is fired
as a result.

The Centers for Disease Con-
trol in Atlanta considers it "accept-
able" when a lab can reliably test
for the presence of a drug 80
percent of the time. In a recent
CDC study none of 12
laboratories could reliably test for
amphetamines, and only one of
eleven had an acceptable test
rate for cocaine. If you have four
or five million people who are
tested nationwide, an error rate of
only one percent means 40-
50,000 false accusations.

If urine test could accurately
indicate drug use, what would it
mean? Experts say the test
cannot differentiate between the
chronic abuser or casual user and
most importantly, cannot measure
impairment.

In case involving public employ-
ees the courts have consistently
held that urinalysis testing without
a reasonable suspicion of drug
abuse is an unreasonable inva-
sion of privacy.

The test should be outlawed
unless there are reasonable
grounds to believe that an employ-
ee's performance on the job is
being impaired by drug use and
that such impairment represents
a clear danger to the physical
safety of the worker, other workers
or the public. This standard was
recently adopted by the city of

San Francisco. As abuses from
urinalysis continue, we will surely
see more such laws, just as we
did with the lie detector tests.

The Founding Fathers wanted
to create a free society in which
all citizens would be treated fairly.
Are we living in the kind of free
society our founders intended for
us if institutions which hold great
power and authority over us can,
without any reason or justification,
delve into our private lives through

the use of urine tests? If certain
segments of private industry do
not treat citizens fairly with the
dignity and respect to which all
Americans are entitled then
increasingly citizens will insist that
government step in.
Gene Guerrero, executive direc-
tor of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union of Georgia, is a
national authority on the use of
urine tests for detecting drug
abuse by workers.

"Bye-Bye Hub"
Say Hello
To Alston

by Jill Reeves

by Katie Hager

Where is the Hub?

As we return to campus this
year, we can't help but notice the
building missing on the corner of
the quad. When the Hub was built
in 1910, it served as a library for
the school until the McClain
Library was opened in 1935. The
Hub remained open to the stu-
dents for social purposes and
became A.S.C.'s first student
center. The Hub, the first place on
campus where students could
smoke, was later used for social
events like bridge games, Exam
Teas, and Singing Spirits.

Throughout the years, students
of Agnes Scott have cherished
their memories of good times
spent with friends in the Hub.
Claire Guitton remembers, "The
Hub was the place on campus
where I grew closest to my
friends."

Other students reminisce about
lying out on the roof, watching TV.

The orientation of the freshman
class began on Friday. August 22,
when over seventy ASC students
participated in a retreat at Rock
Eagle Camp. Eatonton, Georgia
where several organizations such
as SGA. Honor Court. Interdorm
and Orientation Council met for
the weekend in order to prepare
for the arrival of the new students.

building. Yet the Hub was
evaluated last year to be an
unstable, leaky fire haard that was
not in scale with the other build-
ings on campus. Consequently
the Hub was demolished this
summer to make way for a
modern facility to meet the need
for more social activity on the
campus.

The renovation of the gym and
infirmary will start in March of
1987. The new center for student
activities, the Wallace M. Alston
Center, will include three raquet-
ball courts. TV and stereo
lounges, tap and aerobic equip-
ment, and studio dance rooms.
Until the new center opens,
students may enjoy studying,
snacking, and lounging in the
lower Terrace Dining Area. The
basement of Walters will also be
open with pool tables and video
games.

Although its destruction was
inevitable, the Hub will exist
forever in our memories, and
these new facilities will surely
continue to serve the tradition of
social diversion popularized by
the Hub 50 years ago.

Though college women know
sexist barriers to their success
after college exist, they still tend
to harbor career expectations that
don't take those barriers into
account, several new studies
indicate.

In a survey of women who have
been in the workforce for at least
10 years, Kansas State Prof.
Evelyn Hausmann found "most
women initially think they will be
rewarded mainly on the basis of '
merit, but many of them realize
later on this is not true."

Moreover, Hausmann observed,
about two-thirds of the women
surveyed felt women were as
prejudiced as or more preju-
diced than men.

And in a separate study, Cal-
Berkeley work-and-family re-
searcher Anne Machung discov-
ered that 40 percent of the college
women surveyed expected to
earn as much as their partners,
and 13 percent said they would
earn more.

Machung, citing current labor
market statistics, contends these
hopes are unrealistic.

The Berkeley women expected
to take from five to 13 years off
their jobs to rear families, though

reers for full-time motherhood will
be more difficult than today's
students believe.

"The crunch will come when
they find it hard to drop out of the
labor force" because of the need
to have two incomes to support a
family, she explains.

Dropping out of the careers
many women now start can put
these women at a distinct disad-
vantage upon returning to work,
she adds.

Fifty-seven percent of the
women Hausmann surveyed cited
family obligations as obstacles to
greater career success.

Even the Berkeley women who
expected to avoid such troubles
weren't sure how they would do
it, Machung notes. "Women are
confused about how to have kids
and continue jobs."

In a separate study in which
men and women were interviewed
for up to three hours, Machung
found all the men assumed wo-
men will quit jobs to tend children,
and both sexes expect women to
do more of the domestic chores
and most of the childrearing.

"Men and women are confused
about what egalitarianism means
in marriage," Machung observes.

Miss Southern Sweetheart
Beauty Pageants

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
announces its Miss Southern
Sweetheart Pageant, in DeKalb
County to be held on September
20. This pageant is a part of the
second annual pageant occurring
across Georgia and North Florida.
Across the state these smaller
pageants will be held between
August 1st and October 27 to
benefit the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation.

Cystic Fibrosis is the leading
inherited killer of children in this
country. Children inherit cystic
fibrosis from both parents who are
unknowing carriers of the cystic
fibrosis gene. There is no cure for
cystic fibrosis. Money raised by
the beauty pageants through
entry fees and sponsorship con-
tests will be used to continue
research such as that which last
fall narrowed the search for the
gene to less than one percent of
all genes.

Young women between the
ages of 6 months and 21 years of
age are eligible to enter. There will

be seven divisions: Baby Miss
Southern Sweetheart, 6-23
months; Teeny Miss Southern
Sweetheart, 2-4 years of age;
Tiny Miss Southern Sweetheart,
8-11 years of age; Junior Teen
Miss Southern Sweetheart, 12-14
years of age; Teen Miss Southern
Sweetheart. 15-17 years of age;
and Senior Miss Southern
Sweetheart, 18-21 years of age.

There will be one winner and
three runners-up in each division.
The winners receive a tiara,
trophy, title banner and a silk rose.
Runners-up will receive trophies
and a silk rose. Contestants have
the option of entering the Miss
Photogenic Contest, the Sponsor-
ship Contest, and aTalent Contest.

Money raised through Miss
Southern Sweetheart Beauty
Pageants will benefit the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation research
programs. We hope to find a cure
for the fatal lung disease and give
those affected the lives they
deserve.

To enter, contact Carolyn Grant
at 241-7568 for information. All
entry fees and donations are tax
deductible.

by Sarah Napier

I remember last spring sitting
down to write an article for The
Profile about the Global Aware-
ness trip to India and having no
idea what the summer had in
store for me. Now it's fall at ASC
once again and all the participants
in the India trip are back safely to
the routines of college life. I think
I can speak for all of us who went
on the trip in saying that it was a
rich learning experience and an
adventure we will never forget.

This adventure began with the
airline flight. As we crowded into
the Air Atlanta terminal sur-
rounded by friends, family, boy-
friends and Dr. Jones' dog Mugsy.
we were not prepared for the 21
hour plane flight and 9 hour time
difference. One moment I will
always remember is stepping off
the Air India plane into the intense
humidity and heat of a Bombay
evening and feeling very far away
from home.

The first two weeks of the trip
were spent in Bombay, one of
India's largest and most crowded
cities with 9 million people. It was
monsoon season in Bombay
which brought intense humidity
and daily rains. In Bombay, we
studied at S.N.D.T. Women's
University. Our program was
arranged by Dr. Jones and Dr.
Campbell with the help of the
teachers at the university. We had
two lectures every morning, one
in history and one in sociology.
The lectures covered Indian

history, geography, politics, reli-
gion, family structure, economics
and many other subjects. The first
two weeks were also spent seeing
Bombay in the afternoons and
evenings on various field trips.

One of the highlights of these
excursions was our visit to the
Gandhi museum where we saw
Gandhi's few possessions and the
room where he stayed while in
Bombay. We also met an older
woman who was involved in the
nationalist movement with Gandhi.
We visited many temples in
Bombay which exposed us to
much of what we were learning in
our lectures about the religions of
India.

During our first weekend in
Bombay, we had a special oppor-
tunity to visit a village called Karjat
where we saw how 80 % of the
population lives. Some of our
most memorable experiences
were in Karjat. We visited schools,
homes, temples, and medical
facilities and were treated with
immense hospitality and curiosity
by the village people, particularly
the children. We were also served
a traditional Indian meal by the
women of the village which we ate
on banana leaves while we sat on
the floor.

Our program in Bombay was
designed so that we could see
and experience as many aspects
of life in India as possible. We
visited the middle class homes of
our teachers at the university as
well as several extremely poor
areas of the city. We saw Hindu
temples, Buddhist temples. Mos-

lem mosques and even a few
Christian churches. We were
exposed to the British influence in
India as well as the rich Indian
culture when we experienced
traditional dance, music, art and
food.

It was also in Bombay that we
experienced the most intense
culture shock. One experiences
things with an intensity that is
different from the States. Sights
are more vivid, smells stronger,
noises louder, and life in general
more crowded. Everyday held
countless new experiences for
our group which were both excit-
ing and draining. One of the first
things I learned was how high our
standard of living is in the United
States. The harsh reality of
poverty is evident throughout
India.

After a sad goodbye to our
friends at S.N.D.T University we
flew to Madras on the southern
coast of India. The climate here
was much hotter and drier be-
cause the monsoon does not start
until October. In Madras we had
another week of classes and daily
field trips. We visited Mahabali-
puram, a group of ancient stone
reliefs and temples as well as a
rural agricultural village and the
church where St. Thomas is said
to be buried.

In Madras we also had a special
evening with a friend of Dr. Jones
and his family where we ate
traditional southern Indian food,
watched a dance and musical
performance and, yes. believe it
or not, saw a snake charmer
charm a cobra. Dr. Campbell
especially enjoyed the snake
charmer.

One of the most memorable
moments of the trip was our fourth
of July celebration in Madras. We
invited the lecturers we had had
that week and had the hotel staff
cook semi-traditional Fourth of
July food. Jackie and Elizabeth
made an American flag out of a
hotel towel and we managed to
find some red, white, and blue
decorations. We also managed
an amateur fireworks display
which nearly destroyed the sign
on the hotel roof.

After a week in Madras our
classes were over. We took a
History test for Dr. Campbell and
began to work on our papers. We
also handed in our journals for Dr.
Jones in which we had been
recording our impressions of our
experiences, readings and
lectures.

From Madras we traveled to

Students Study

and Play in Marburg

by Hong Tran

"Sprechen Sie Deutsch 9 " Ask
this question to any one of the
nine students who participated in
Agnes Scott's summer study in
Marburg. West Germany, and
you'll surely hear ja as a reply.
This past summer Professor
Gunther Bicknese. chair of Agnes
Scott's German department, took

a group of eight Agnes Scott
students and an out of state
student to Marburg to improve
their German skills. The program
lasted six weeks, beginning July
5th and ending on the 16th of
August. The students varied in
their background knowledge of
the language but even the most
learned German students had
difficulty with the language when
they first arrived. However, after
six weeks of classes focusing on

German grammar, literature, cul-
ture, and conversation, every one
of the participants returned to the
United States with a better under-
standing and command of the
language.

The trip to Marburg was not just
all work and no play. Professor
Bicknese and his assistant.
Gerlinde, whom many may know
as the energetic German assist-
ant from the previous year.

Varanasi for several days. Var-
anasi is the spiritual center of
India for Hindus. All Hindus hope
to die in Varanasi and have their
ashes thrown into the holy
Ganges river so that they may
achieve liberation. Varanasi is
located in the northeast part of
India. Here we saw the rituals of
Hinduism everywhere we went.
The narrow streets of Varanasi
are dense with people, cows,
temples, priests, and small idols.
We took an early morning boat
ride on the Ganges river and also
saw the ruins where Buddha
preached his first sermon.

Our next stop was Agra, the
home of the famous Taj Mahal.
The beauty of the white marble
Taj is difficult to describe. Although
it was pouring down rain when we
visited the Taj and most of us were
suffering from various "traveler's
sicknesses" we were all moved by
its beauty and elegance. In Agra
we also visited the Red Fort where
Shah Jahan, the builder of the Taj.
lived.

From Agra we went by bus to
Jaipur, a city on the edge of the
Rajistan desert where some of
India's most famous palaces still
stand. Here we had the opportu-
nity to ride both elephants and
camels! By this point we had all
become experienced shoppers
expert at finding good jewelry,
clothes, and rugs and bartering
for the best price.

New Delhi, the capital of India,
was next on the schedule. New
Delhi is the most modern city in
India and also a popular stop for
tourists. Here we saw the impres-
sive Government buildings and
toured Old Delhi. We also visited
the cremation sites of Mahatma
Gandhi, Nehru and Indira Gandhi.

The last leg of the trip was a
visit to the country of Nepal, which
is north of India. We found Nepal
cooler, less crowded and gener-
ally more tranquil than India. We
took a day trip to a spot in the
Himalayan mountains where one
can normally have a great view of
Mount Everest, but unfortunately
the mountain was obscured by
clouds.

I asked a few of the group
members if they could summarize
their thoughts about the experi-
ence of going to India for this
article and they all responded by
saying that it would be too difficult
to say anything about India in just
a few sentences! Dr. Campbell
responded by saying, "Students
should be congratulated for sus-
taining a high level of enthusiasm
and maintaining a harmonious
group feeling in spite of the
rigorous demands of the trip." Dr.
Jones, who is on sabbatical this
year, is still traveling in India and
the surrounding areas and doing
research.

Spending five weeks in India
was a unique learning experi-
ence. Seeing both the beauty and
the harsh reality of the culture was
intensified by the reading, lectures
and studying that were a part of
the trip. Experiencing a culture so
vastly different from my own was
an experience that caused me to
question many ideas and beliefs
I had. I feel the whole experience
benefited me as a student and as
a person. I hope that many
students in the future are able to
make a Global Awareness trip a
part of their education at Agnes
Scott.

ASC Students Meet the World

by Carol Valentine

Seven Agnes Scott seniors
spent all or part of last year at a
university in Europe. Rose Mary
Hopton visited Spain; Alene
Schuster, Eun Joo Yang,
Rosamund Braunrot, and Debbie
Rose went to France; and Maureen
McNulty and I, Carol Valentine
attended universities in England.
Each of us had a unique experi-
ence in a different country. We
were able to learn about the
people and culture of those
countries by actually living there
as a student. There is a tremen-
dous difference between visiting
a country as a tourist and living
there.

The reasons for spending the
junior year abroad are many and
varied. Some go for a change
from the continual routine of
everyday life here, others to
improve a language, a few to

experience a different country and
its way of life, and still others to
travel and see parts of the world
they would not otherwise get the
chance to visit.

Although some cultural differ-
ences do exist, most students
found that these differences were
not difficult to become accus-
tomed to. Rose Mary and I agreed
that it was often harder to get to
know the native students, but
Maureen found the multi-cultural
student body at the University of
Essex to be very friendly people
as well as bold political activists.
Some found that stereotypes
appeared to be true at first, but
after living among the people it
became easier to get past those
superficial differences. One rec-
ognizes that there are similarities
among people in all western
civilizations.

The university systems in
Europe are, however, quite differ-
ent from those in the United
States. In Europe, school at the

high school level is much more
competitive, and college is often
viewed as a break for the students.

Grading for classes varied
widely. Some had a single com-
prehensive exam at the end of the
year, while others had only to
write essays during the term for
their evaluation. Eun Joo felt that
less was expected of Americans
than of the French students at her
university.

It is possible to take almost any
class. Most students who study
abroad are language or history
majors, but this is not necessary.
I am a biology major and was still
able to fulfill my science require-
ments. I even had the opportunity
to take a class under a world
renowned evolutionist, John
Maynard Smith.

Everyone learned a great deal,
both from the academic work and
from the people and culture
around them. All of the partici-
pants commented that they had

The World Meets ASC

by Anne E. Leacock

In case you have not noticed,
there are a number of new
international students on campus.
There are three students from
Pakistan: Asma Shaikh. Amna
Jaffer. and Naunn Khan; two from
Turkey: Evren Dagdalen and
Zeynep Yalim; one from In-
donesia: Lizbeth Jusuf; one from
Sweden: Anna-Lena Neld; and
one from Japan: Hiromi Wazawa.
Nela Nanayakkara, the interna-
tional student coordinator for
Orientation Council and an inter-
national student herself from Sri
Lanka, told me a lot about the new
students. I found everything that
she did tell me to be true. Each
student was very enthusiastic
about Agnes Scott. They all have
unique personalities and they are
eager to get to know the student

Lizbeth Jusuf. from Indonesia,
has been in the United States
since the beginning of July. She
has met a lot of people so far and
really seems to like it. Her only
problem is that she still has a
problem with understanding and
speaking English, but she learns
a little more each day. While
talking to her I realized how much
of American culture I have taken
for granted. She told me about
seeing the Statue of Liberty as
she flew in, whereas I have never
seen the statue. When I asked her
about being homesick, she said
that she tries not to think about it
because it is very important for
her to concentrate on he/ studies
here.

Zeynep Yalim, an Economics/
Psychology major from Istanbul,
Turkey, found out about Agnes
Scott through one of her high
school teachers. Surprisingly
enough, this teacher is an Agnes
Scott graduate and the mother of
a current Agnes Scott senior, Tuba
Goksel. Zeynep says that her life
in Turkey was not much different
from her present one at ASC. This
is because she went to an Amer-
ican high school with a great
number of American students.

The international students are Anna-Lena Neld, Amna Jaffer, Naurin
Khan, Evren Dagdalen, Zeynep Yalim, Hiromi Wazawa.

Most of the students I talked
with did not seem to be homesick
but concentrated on other things.
Amna Jaffer finds the food rather
strange; Anna-Lena Neld finds
things sometimes confining be-
cause she is not able to move
about the city as she could in
Stockholm; Asma Shaikh and
Naurin Khan expressed their
thanks to everyone who helped
them get adjusted to their new
life; and Evren Dagdalen ex-
pressed her enthusiasm over the
events on campus.

One thing that I found common

among all eight students is that
when they were living in their
native countries, they were very
aware of current events in
America. This made me realize
how very little I know about other
countries. This is the goal of
CHIMO is designed to make
students more aware of other
countries, not just their own. It is
also a club for everyone, not just
the international students. There
will be a lot of new programs this
year, so look into joining CHIMO,
and get to know the new (and
returning) international students.

The students are Alene Schuster, Maureen McNulty, Carol Valentine,
Rosemary Hopton, and Rosamund Braunrot (lower right).

made some change in their
attitudes and perspectives. I felt
that being away from everything
that I was used to gave me a
different outlook on those things.
Maureen commented that she
grew more from the "sense of
having to be entirely indepen-
dent." Eun Joo summed it up by
saying "I learned how to deal with
situations emotionally, mentally,
and intellectually."

A highlight of everyone's experi-
ence was the chance to travel
around Europe at student rates.
Studying and traveling within
Europe is actually much less
expensive than many people
believe. "The cost of my tuition,
room, board, and air fare was less
than I would have spent at Agnes
Scott," Maureen noted, "and it
was still cheaper including my
expenses for travel through much
of western Europe and the cost

of a brief trip to the Soviet Union!"
There are many reduced rates for
students on the wonderful trains
and museums throughout Eu-
rope. The benefits from such
travel can be tremendous.

Everyone recommended that
anyone interested in studying
abroad should at least pursue
their options. If anybody wants to
find out more about available
junior year abroad programs they
are welcome to contact any of the
participants. Catalogs and further
information can be obtained from
faculty advisors or John Studstill.
the director of the Global Aware-
ness Program.

Attending a foreign university
can be a very rewarding learning
experience if approached with the
right attitude. It can really en-
hance the value of the liberal arts
education we are all striving to
obtain.

Dillman Edits Journal

Decatur, GA. -Scarlett O'Hara
may be a fictional character, but
Agnes Scott College Professor
Caroline Matheny Dillman is
trying to prove that her factual
counterpart exists. The fifth gener-
ation Georgian is the guest editor
of the current issue of "Sociologi-
cal Spectrum." which is devoted
entirely to the study of southern
women.

The official journal of the Mid-
South Sociological Association.
"Sociological Spectrum," features
articles on the cultural, social and
regional aspects of Southern
womankind in its issue entitled
"Southern Women."

Dr. Dillman's research into the
uniqueness of the Southern
woman was a result of her interest
in the history of women, sparked
by the feminist movement, and in
her own Southern ancestry, which
dates to the 1830's.

She makes clear the distinction
between women in the South and
women of the South in her
foreword to the journal. Her
original plan was to include "many
categories of women living on
Southern soil." Because it was
difficult both to limit definition of
women in the South and to find
adequate research on the subject,
the focus of the journal became
women of the South.

According to Dr. Dillman.
women of the South "have been
socialized by a unique culture that
originated many decades before
the Civil War and that has been
passed on to each subsequent

generation."

This unique culture crosses
lines of race, economics and
social class. It has survived
because, unlike other areas of the
United States, the South has
maintained something of a re-
gional ethnicity.

Dr. Dillman has interviewed
more than 100 Georgia women
for her book Southern Women in
Transition, which she will submit
for possible publication to the
University of Tennessee Press. It
was because of this research that
she was selected to edit this
special issue of "Sociological
Spectrum."

In addition to Dr. Dillman,
contributors to the journal include
Kent Anderson Leslie, Sarah
Brabant. Jacqueline Boles and
Maxine Atkinson, Susan Middle-
ton-Keirn, and Donna Darden.
The essays cover subjects rang-
ing from the effects of the feminist
movement on the so-called
"Southern Lady" to Southern
women authors and their writings
about Southern women.

An assistant professor in the
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology, Dr. Dillman has
been associated with Agnes Scott
College since 1978. She received
her doctoral degree from Stanford
University, California, and her
undergraduate degree from
Pennsylvania State University.
She holds masters degrees both
in education (San Jose State
University. California) and in
sociology (Stanford University).

Introducing the New Professors

Elizabeth Bottomley

Malcolm Peel

by Lisa Gugino

At the beginning of each new
school year it is familiar to see a
barrage of new faces, usually
those of new students; however,
the beginning of this academic
year has brought the Agnes Scott
community a wealth of new
faculty. They are distinguished in
their past academic careers as
well as their present academic
pursuits. Each new professor has
a variety of interests and experi-
ences that promise an environ-
ment of diversity on campus.

The bible and religion depart-
ment has seen the greatest
change. Dr. Beth Mackie and Dr.
Malcolm Peel, who make up the
department in its entirety, are new
to Agnes Scott. Dr Peel, the Chair
of the Department, was born a
Hoosier. coming from Jefferson.
Indiana. His education in Biblical
Theology from Yale University
prepared him for his pre- and
post-doctoral study which he
completed in the Netherlands at
the University of Utrecht. Dr. Peel
has enjoyed preaching in over
175 churches in places such as
Connecticut and as far away as
Alaska. Aside from his scholarly
pursuits which total some 20
articles and 30 book reviews,
Malcolm or "Mack" Peel enjoys
time with his family and showing
off his goofiness with signs that
read "Heretic in Residence."

Dr. Beth Mackie, his colleague,
has a distinguished academic
career herself. She is an Agnes
Scott alumnae with a Ph.D. from
Duke. Her area of interest and
field of study is Theodicy, the
philosophical study concerned
with justifying a belief in all
powerful and all loving God in
spite of the human experience of
evil. Dr. Mackie will provide
instruction not only in religious
philosophy but in areas of particu-
lar interest to the Agnes Scott
woman, such as Women Religion
and World Religions. When not
contemplating philosophical com-
plexities, she enjoys playing with
her two cats with whom she
shares her new condo.

If one hears the beautiful sound
of the church organ drifting over
the campus, one can be sure that
Dr. Calvert Johnson, the new
professor of music, is hard at
work teaching what he loves best.
Dr. Johnson also brings his
knowledge of the harpsichord and
church music to the campus. He
will display his diversity by teach-
ing courses in several periods of
music, including the Baroque
Classic. Dr. Johnson's talent at
playing the organ will not only be
displayed at Wednesday convoca-
tions but at free community
recitals such as the one he is
giving this September 23rd in
Presser Hall at 8:15. The entire
campus is invited to attend.

The Departments of Spanish

and French have each added one
new professor. In Spanish. Ms.
Ada Aleman from Georgia State
will be teaching part-time. Ms.
Aleman. a native of Cuba, incorpo-
rates the advantages of her
unique experience of a Latin-
American upbringing in the class-
room, where she teaches 20th
Century Spanish novels. Ms.
Aleman is fairly familiar with
Agnes Scott students since she
has taught here in the past and
because she recently took a
group of Spanish majors to
Mexico, where they studied the
Spanish language intensively.
While talking about the trip she
remarked with a laugh, "The
students took good care of me."

In the French Department, Dr.
Regine Pierrette Alexandrine
Reynolds-Cornell brings her
expert knowledge of French
literature and the Scriptures. Her
area of interest lies in the study
of the impacts and ramifications
of religion on society. Dr.
Reynolds-Cornell spent 18 hectic
years as Chair of the Language
Department at Southwestern
University in Texas; however, her
experience as a Department
Chair pales when compared to
her 6 years of experience with the
United Nations and the various
places around the world she has
visited and in which she has lived.
Born in Paris, she is a native
Frenchwoman but has made her
home in Africa. Spain, Chile, Italy
and on the island of Malta. In
informal discussion she said, "I
am delighted not to be a depart-
ment head and am very happy to
teach and write." She has already
completed a book on religious
texts written during the religious
wars of the 16th Century.

Also joining the French depart-
ment is Dr. Holly York, who will be
teaching one class this fall.

Joining the art department is
Dr. Donna Sadler. Dr. Sadler has
her degrees from Boston Univer-
sity and Indiana University and
has specialized in the study of
French Medieval Sculpture. She
says she especially enjoys study-
ing how Medieval Politics affected
the art produced during that
period. One may describe the
diversity of the courses she will
teach by saying they range from
"caveman to modern day" as well
as specific courses in Art History.
Dr. Sadler explained her fascina-
tion with Medieval work by saying,
"I feel a type of empathy with the
pieces from that period; I espe-
cially love cathedrals."

Prepared to teach the freshman
the "how to*s" of writing is Dr.
Christopher Ames of the English
department. Dr. Ames comes
from Stanford University, where
he wrote his dissertation on a
most interesting topic. He entitled
his work "Scenes of Parties and
Festivities in 20th Century Litera-
ture." His area of expertise is the
20 Century novel which he will be
teaching along with 20th century
poetry.

In the chemistry department.
Dr. Elizabeth Bottomley will be
teaching freshman introductory
chemistry labs and quantum
mechanics. Dr. Bottomley re-
ceived her Ph.d. in Analytic
Chemistry from Florida State
University and is looking forward
to continuing her research in
instrumental analysis here at
Agnes Scott.

The political science depart-
ment will welcome Dr. Tommie
Sue Montgomery to campus this
spring. Presently she is research-
ing political systems in Argentina
on a Fullbright Scholarship. Dr.
Montgomery is noted for her
reknowned studies on Liberation
Theology in Central America and
will teach a course on this topic
in the spring of 1986. Dr.
Montgomery has published a
country-study of El Salvador, an
endeavor which has broadened
her extensive knowledge of Cen-
tral and South America.

Also joining the political science
department is Dr. Sally Davenport.
Dr. Davenport, who has varying
interests within her discipline,
received her Master's in African
Studies from U.C.L.A. and her
Ph.D. in Public Policy from Johns
Hopkins University. Filling in for
Dr. Cochran while on Sabbatical,
Dr. Davenport will be teaching
many of the political science
courses on the Unites States
political system as well as the
more theoretical course, Power in
Contemporary Societies. When
asked about her impressions of
Agnes Scott she exclaimed, "I've
gotten to know more people here
in one week than in all my years
of teaching on larger campuses.
Agnes Scott has a unique sense
of community and it fosters this
by encouraging close relation-
ships."

Dr. Sara Mannie has joined the
psychology department while Dr.
Carden is on Sabbatical. Dr.
Mannie specializes in child
psychology which studied right
next door, receiving her Master's
and Ph.D. from Emory University.
Dr. Mannie will be teaching
Introductory Psychology and
Experimental Psychology.

In the sociology department,
Dr. Katherine Palumbo is teaching
two courses for Connie Jones,
who is on Sabbatical. Dr. Palumbo
will teach Sex Roles and Introduc-
tion to Social Work.

Dr. Can Coltharp will be teach-
ing a Sociological Theory course.
In the spring, Dr. Brian Sherman
will join the Department; he
comes to us from Harvard Univer-
sity to teach the History of Social
Thought and Clinical Sociology.

The Agnes Scott campus is
swarming with many new faces,
perhaps an indication of a new
beginning for the college. If the
talent, enthusiasm and academic
excellence of the new faculty is
any indication of where we are
going, then Agnes Scott students
may rest assured that we have a
brilliant future.

Watergate.

Russell started as a piano
player in the Carroll Arms Hotel
Bar on Capitol Hill. He made up
songs about his customers, many
of whom happened to be politi-
cians. His ability to find humor in
the news led to a twenty-year
engagement as resident come-

High Museum Features "Sitings"

"A Shanty Town" by Alice Aycock is part of the "Sitings" exhibit at the
High Museum of Art.

Productions Open
At the Alliance

The September production at
the Alliance Theatre is The Gos-
pel At Colonus, adapted by Lee
Breuer with music by Bob Telson.
Presented by the Alliance Theatre
Company in cooperation with Just
Us Theater Company, the play
runs through October 5, 1986.

This exuberant retelling of
Sophocles' story of Oedipus has
been lauded as the theatrical
phenomenon of the decade and
is the winner of the 1984 Obie for
"Best Musical." Lee Breuer, one
of the leading artists of the
American experimental theatre,
has taken the classic story of
Oedipus' suffering and search for
salvation and told it through the
eyes and voices of a congregation
in a black Pentecostal service. In
collaboration with composer Bob
Telson, Breuer has recreated the
2.500-year-old tale as a stirring
combination of gospel. Greek
tragedy, and Japanese Kabuki
theatre.

The production affords the rare
opportunity to see such legendary
gospel groups as Clarence Foun-
tain and the Five Blind Boys of

Alabama, J.J. Farley and the
Original Soul Stirrers, and the J.D.
Steele singers as they perform
with one of Atlanta's finest gospel
choirs, the Showers of Blessing
Choir of the Cathedral of Faith
Church of God in Christ.

"Sitings: Aycock, Fleischner.
Miss. Trakas." an exhibition of 51
drawings by four sculptors Alice
Aycock. Richard Fleischner, Mary
Miss, and George Trakas best
known for their large-scale en-
vironmental art, will open at the
High Museum of Art on Sep-
tember 16 and will remain on view
through November 16.

"Sitings." which will use draw-
ings rather than photographs,
slides or models to emphasize
the conceptual stage of the artists'
creative process, represents the
first time that the four artists
roughly contemporaries who
began their mature work in the
1970's have been united in one
exhibition. The exhibition was or-
ganized by the La Jolla Museum
of Contemporary Art with the aid
of a grant from the National En-
dowments for the Arts.

As an adjunct to the show, each
of the artists has been commis-
sioned to create a site-specific
sculpture for one of the museums
on the exhibition's tour. In Atlanta,
Fleischner will design and build
an installation specifically for the
High Museum.

Each of the artists is a "builder"
and generally works in urban
areas. Their installations are re-
lated to architecture, landscape
design and engineering projects
in the forms they use stairs,
ramps, tunnels, plazas, pathways
and foliage patterns and in the
materials they use wood, stone,
steel, or concrete. In creating their
sculptures, these artists alter a
neutral space and make it into a
specific place, and it is this aware-

ness of space and site that unifies
them.

Because each artists work is
related to its specific site,
museums have had difficulty find-
ing a way in which to exhibit their
works. Some museums have tried
to exhibit site-related installations
through photographs and slides
that document the work but do not
allow viewers to experience it.
"Sitings" is the first presentation
to use drawings as the vehicle for
exhibition.

The 51 drawings, approxi-
mately 12 by each artist, vary in
size from less than one square
foot to eight square feet and range
in media from charcoal and pas-
tels to ink and pencil to watercol-
ors. Some are sketches and
others are detailed renderings.

Some of the drawings are
studies for work constructed,
some are drawings submitted for
commissions and others are not
connected to a specific project
but reveal something about how
the artist works.

Fleischner, the artist commis-
sioned by the High Museum to
create a site-specific sculpture
for the building, received both his
bachelor of fine arts and his mas-
ter of fine arts degrees from the
Rhode Island School of Design.
His work also has been included
in numerous exhibitions, including
"The Boston Bicentennial Art Col-
lections," Institute of Contempo-
rary Art (1975); "Documenta 6,"
Kassel, West Germany (1977);
"The Figurative Tradition," Whit-
ney Museum of Contemporary Art
(1980), and "Across the Nation."

chestra is holding its first "Meet

hours of frantic partying.

c) AT&T for exceptional value and high quality
service.

d) AT&T for collect, third-party and operator-
assisted long distance calls.

e) Any class that does not conflict with 'The Love
Connection'.'

If you picked A, C and D, you re destined for great things
Like AT&T Long Distance Service. AT&T offers so many terrific
values. Like a 40% to over 50% discount off our day rate on night,
evening, and weekend out-of-state calls.

Imagine what you'll do with the money you could save.
Imagine what your parents would do if they found out.

Of course, you can count on AT&T for clear long distance
connections any place you call. And AT&T gives you
immediate credit for wrong numbers.

To find out more about why you
should choose AT&T, give us a call.
And if you picked B and E, call any-
way. You could probably use someone
to talk to.

Athletic Association Introduces New Sports to ASC!

by Pilar Duque

h KOMATSU

Agnes Scott Athletic Associa-
tion is proud to introduce to the
whole campus community two
new sports. Before we do. we
would like to inform everyone that
this year we spent all our money
on the new equipment needed for
the new sports we are introducing.
Fortunately, both sports use the
same equipment.

The first sport is a combination
of soccer, team-handball, and
basketball. It uses heavy-duty
machinery such as: a PACKER
a BOBCAT, and a BULLDOZER

There are seven players in each
team, each one on board his own
machine. There is a dump truck
on each end of the field, and each
team tries to score by putting
some dirt (available on the field

I he equipment and the field are ready for use and abuse!! If interested contact Athletic Association.

and on the track) in the other
team's dump truck. Each team
has a dump-keeper, whose job is
very similar to that of a goal-
keeper in soccer; he must not

allow the opposing team to score
dirt on his team's truck. The
dumpie (as the dump-keeper is
often referred to), rides a versatile
Bobcat. The three defenses have-

COACH PETERSON: OUR NEW CHAMPION

by Pilar Duque

While most of us spent our
summers either working or resting
(I. personally, didn't do a thing).
Coach Cindy Peterson was busy
winning championships . . . ten-
nis championships, that is.

Coach Peterson plays with a
team called Dekalb Tennis Center,
which belongs to the USTA/
VOLVO Tennis League. The teams
in this league are ranked accord-
ing to their level of play. The NTRP
(which is the official name for the
rankings) go from 2.5 to 5.5 in half

point increments, 2.5 being a
beginners' level team.

In June. Petersons team won
the North Atlanta 5.0 level cham-
pionship and earned the right to
go to the State championships.
There, they quickly advanced to
the finals where they beat Au-
gusta's 5.0 level team. With this
win. they went to the sectionals in
Lexington. Kentucky, and rep-
resented the state of Georgia.

In order to get to Lexington, the
team needed to raise money so
they went to businesses and small
companies for help. In the first
round of the sectionals, played in
mid-July the DeKalb team lost to

the team from Kentucky, but
recovered to win the consolation
round by beating Alabama and
Mississippi.

During the tournament, there
were USTA officials present verify-
ing the level of play of each one
of the competitors. When Coach
Peterson returned to Atlanta, she
received a letter from the USTA
informing her that she had been
moved up to the 5.5 level. Peter-
son mentioned that although it is
an honor to be ranked at the top,
the competition is tougher, and
there are fewer teams ranked in
that level with which she can play.

TENNIS . . . TENNIS . . . TENNIS

Jill Owens Does It Again

by Pilar Duque

Who needs to watch Ivan Lendl
and Steffan Edberg on TV. when
we can see Jill Owens live and in
person? Out of eight tournaments
she played this summer, Jill won
five, lost in the finals in two. and
in the semi-finals in the other.

Jill is a Sophomore math and
art major from Enid. Oklahoma.

She loves tennis, plays quite well,
and enjoys knitting in her free
time. Jill will be trying out for the
tennis team this year, and when I
told her that I was sure she would
make it. she laughed and said
that there were a lot of freshmen
who were going to try out too. and
they were very good.

One of the people Jill beat this
summer a couple of times is
Jenny Bautissa. a Filipino girl

playing with Central State Univer-
sity in Oklahoma. Jenny placed in
the top 16 in the last national
competition. Jill was not able to
go to national because the whole
ASC team (which placed third in
the district, tied with Brenau) did
not qualify: in order to go individu-
ally, she would have had to win
the district.

We wish good luck to the tennis
team this year, and we hope to
see them in the nationals soon!

different machines each: a Grader
(left defense), a Back-o (for the
center defender), and a Track
loader for the right defender.
The remaining three people are

the forward line. They ride a
Packer, a Bulldozer (in the
center), and a Wheel loader.
Players can pass dirt from one
machine to another, and they can
intercept the other team's passes.
A foul is called when one player
runs an opposing one off the field,
since this may result in track
damage. There is a half-time for
refueling purposes.

The same equipment will be
used for individual, inter-collegiate,
heavy-duty races. If you are
interested in any of these new
sports, Athletic Association will be
holding special courses together
with the Physical Education De-
partment, designed to teach the
use of the equipment, and the
rules of the games. The courses
will be worth one full credit.
Pregnant women, and those with
back or heart problems are
encouraged to think twice before
applying.

Mount Pleasant. Ml (CPS) -
With Nautilus machines in the
school gym, salad bars in the
cafeteria and smoke-free areas
in every student lounge, it might
seem college life has never been
healthier.

But one enterprising professor
has found a new health hazard on
campus.

It's that book-laden backpack
you've been hefting over one
shoulder all these years, says
Ron Sendre. a Central Michigan
University professor of sports
medicine.

"Knock-down shoulder" is only
one of the maladies Sendre
ascribes to the overuse and
misuse of the popular book packs
seen on every American campus.

How can the innocent back-
pack, symbol of outdoor lifestyles,
wreak such devastation on unsus-
pecting college students 9

"A heavy backpack changes
your center of gravity," says
Sendre. "Your abdominal area is
thrust forward, and your shoul-
ders are brought posterior."

"Then a kid will carry that
backpack for six, eight minutes
across campus to his next class."

In other words, he's got lousy
posture while carrying a mega-
load of textbooks, and according
to Sendre, "there're bound to be
lots of repercussions."

Besides knock-down shoulder
a drooping shoulder caused by
constantly wearing the pack slung
over one shoulder backpacks
can cause swayback. shoulder
tension, headaches, even nerve
damage.

There is a simple remedy:

"Lighten the load is the best
advice I can give," the professor
says.

But if one's credit load demands
carting 30 pounds of Organic

Chemistry texts, the Unabridged
Works of Shakspeare and a
jumbo box of Crayolas for Art 101,
Sendre suggests wearing the
pack the way it was designed to
be worn.

But even a properly balanced
pack can be a problem for the
out-of-shape student.

So Sendre recommends a
complete work-out program with
weight machines, adding that
exercises for flexibility are equally
important.

But if all this seems more like
health consciousness than one
can handle, another study offers
a rationale for at least one "bad
habit."

Cigarette smoking may en-
hance students' ability to study, a
group of British scientists say.

The researchers found that
nicotine, either from cigarettes or
pills, increased concentration by
eight percent and kept minds
sharp for up to a half hour.

It's Raining Honors!

by Louisa Parker

Following last year's new for-
mat, the Honors Convocation on
September 17, 1986 included two
Agnes Scott professors, Penny
Campbell and Alice Cunningham,
as guest speakers. In 1950,
Wallace Alston, vice-president of
Agnes Scott at the time, origi-
nated Honors Day to recognize
excellence and achievement in
the Agnes Scott community.
Having Agnes Scott professors
speak on their present work
"fittingly" continues this tribute to
excellence, as President Schmidt
puts it.

Penny Campbell, Charles A.
Dana Professor of History, spent
her sabbatical in India, Africa, and
parts of Europe. The two
phenomena that disturbed Profes-
sor Campbell the most during her
travels were violence and the
contrast between rich and poor.
On her return to America she
asked herself, "Why are a few
nations rich and most nations
poor?" and "Why are a few

individuals rich and most individu-
als poor?" Her other concern was
violence and the people who must
live under the shadow of violence
every day. Professor Campbell
revealed one of her discoveries of
her trips: America is "a Mecca, the
refuge of first choice" for foreign
people of all walks of life and for
multitudes of reasons.

"Not wanting to end on a
depressing note," she explained,
Professor Campbell recounted
the unique pleasures of her
journeys and explained the im-
provements being made to right
the wrongs that she had viewed.

Alice Cunningham, William
Radd Keanon Professor of
Chemistry and chairman of Agnes
Scott's chemistry department,
spoke on change in general
before explaining her research
with the in vivo autonomy of the
brain. She commented on the
changes at Scott in her absence
and on how change both shocks
and expands perspectives. Using
an analogy comparing ASC's
music department, development
office, and walkway between
Presser and Buttrick to the

mechanics of brain chemistry,
Professor Cunningham explained
her research area in terms any
Scott student could understand.
Concluding, she asserted that her
work had revived her and assured
her that she could still be "elastic"
and bounce back with change
and still contribute to society.

"Put The Odds In Your Favor"

The would-be victim takes responsibility for her own safety.

by Elizabeth Mahoney

The "Crime Show," presented
by Citizens Against Crime, was

the subject of a mandatory meet-
ing for ASC students last week.

Sponsored by Interdorm. the
"Crime Show" was presented to
"put the odds in your favor,"
according to speaker Kathi
Roberts, the Vice President of the
Southeast Regional Office in
Atlanta.

"It's a scary world out there."
said Roberts. "But fear's not such
an unhealthy thing. I don't want to
make you paranoid; I want to
make you cautious."

Among the information offered
by Roberts were the following
statistics:

One out of every four women
will be assaulted in her lifetime.

One out of every five girls and
one of every 10 boys will be
molested before the ages of 10
and 15, respectively.

Twenty-five percent of all rape
victims will be raped again.

Fifty-five percent of all assaults
occur in the victim's own home.

Eighty percent of all rape
victims know their attacker.

Ninety percent of the violent
crimes committed occur because
the victim was unprepared.

According to Roberts, it takes a
criminal 7 seconds to size up a
victim. "Prepare instead of panic,"
she said.

Before committing a crime, a
criminal considers three things:

Will it be quick?

Will it be easy?

and

Is it low risk?

"Put time and space between
you and the criminal." Roberts
advised.

To avoid being put into a
dangerous situation:

When at home alone, use a
fictional male's name to answei
the door (le. "I'll get it. John").

Always lock the door whether
at home or in a car. Auto theft in
1985 made more money than
Coca-Cola over $30 billion.

Before getting into a car, check
both under the car and in the
backseat.

Walk alertly, avoiding bushes,
parked cars, people asking direc-
tions, and poorly-lit areas.

"The only person that can be
responsible for you is yourself."
said Roberts. According to her,
you should know your abilities and
be able to respond immediately.

However, if you are attacked,
you do have alternatives.

"Scream and run. I didn't say
whisper and tippy toe; if you're
going to run, you're going to have
to run like hell. The adrenalin
factor in a criminal is very high."
said Roberts. Also, you are more
likely to get help if you scream
"Fire" as opposed to "Help".

If you are driving alone and
have car trouble, a "Call Police"
sign, available for $5.00 from the
Citizens Against Crime Associa-
tion (address at bottom), allows
you to remain in your car and
gives directions to passers-by
who may want to help you.

Ask your attacker what fte
wants. Be firm, but don't make
him mad. "Stay in control. If he
wants your money, give it to him,"
says Roberts.

Make your attacker see you as
a human being. "Be creative.
Throw up, urinate, or defecate."
according to Roberts. "Have a
olan."

If you do decide to fight, a kick
in the groin of your attacker is
generally not an effective means
of escape. According to martial -
arts experts, the groin is too small
of a target area. "If you hurt him
a little bit." says Roberts, "he's
going to hurt you a lot."

Resist the instinct to back away.
Move towards him physically and
verbally to reduce his leverage
and aggression, respectively.

Chemical protective sprays
such as tear gas, which dissolves
the oil layer on the face and neck
of humans, thereby exposing
nerves, leaves the sensation of
being "hit in the face with a pan
of hot grease." according to
Roberts. The eyes automatically
shut, and "you think you're chok-
ing to death." The effects of tear
gas last for a half hour and may
be a very effective weapon if it is
tested at least once a month and
if it is a quality chemical protective
spray.

"Your instincts are the best
weapon you'll ever have," Roberts
advised.

Citizens Against Crime organi-
zation or on what else you can do
to protect yourself, write or call:

EDITORIALS

by Maureen McNulty

I write this editorial after much deliberation and with great regret.
The matter is one which I never anticipated encountering at Agnes
Scott and which no doubt will cause some discomfort for the entire
campus community. To ignore the problem, however, would only serve
to perpetuate it

The problem, quite simply, is a frighteningly widespread inability to
use English grammar. As a newspaper editor, I spend many hours
every week reading the work of fellow students. More often than not.
the errors which I correct would be obvious to any alert fourth grader.
I must constantly remind myself that I am not still in high school but
rather in a liberal arts college which lauds itself as one of the best in
the country.

Furthermore, I have been assured by various professors that I am
not the only one to have discovered this disconcerting lack of
knowledge of proper use of gramrjiar among Agnes Scott students.
One professor in particular explained that many students continue to
make simple grammatical errors despite repeated correction by the
instructor. Unfortunately, the problem is not restricted to the freshman
class; I have seen instances of it even among seniors.

I believe that the increasing difficulty in finding writers which The
Profile has encountered over the past few years can be traced to this
basic weakness in grammar. Quite often, when a student is asked to
write an article for The Profile, the lame response is "I can't write."
How did this situation ever arise? More importantly, when do these
students intend to learn?

The English language is our most basic tool, no matter what our
particular field of study may be. How, then, can one justify failing to
learn to use it 9 Given the arrogance of English speaking people, who
travel around the world with the imperious question forever on their
lips: "Do you speak English?", we would do well to have a better grasp
on it than those who speak it as a second, third or fourth language.

Illiteracy is recognized as a national concern if not crisis. I don't
have to think very far back to recall employers who were unable to
draft a simple office memo, much less compose a formal business letter.

What I find difficult to believe is that Agnes Scott is not a notable
exception to the rule. Should we not feel a twinge of shame for having
tripped on a national stumbling block? Doesn't the situation require
from us a greater consciousness of the language we use 9

PBS is presently running a special nine-part series entitled "The
Story of English" which premiered on CBS on September 15. I suspect
this program would benefit every single one of us and perhaps spark
a new awareness of the value of this tool which we use so carelessly.

I remember a rather traumatic day in the fifth grade when I forced
myself to ask a question concerning something I should have learned
in the fourth grade. For one painful moment of embarrassment. I saved
myself untolled future embarrassments in repeating my mistake.
Likewise. American high schools now have special "remedial" programs
for students who somewhere along the way didn't ask questions.

Granted, these are rather extreme examples of parallel situations,
but the same principle still applies. Ask now, learn now or suffer later.

If you leave Agnes Scott without confronting the problem, you will
have done less than what your degree requires of you. So go ahead.
It may be your last chance.

New Parking
Tickets

Dear Editor:

Beginning this semester, all
yellow curbs, fire lanes and no
parking areas will be enforced
with City of Decatur Parking
Tickets. The fines will range from
$10.00 for No Parking to $100.00
for Handicapped Parking. These
areas will be strictly enforced at
all times to insure emergency
access (fire and police) as well as
to prevent any drive-thru area
from being unnecessarily blocked
off.

Sufficient parking is available
this year but you must cooperate
in looking for it with the parking
traffic regulations as your guide.
Please bear in mind that parking
has been arranged for conveni-
ence as much as is possible for
the number of vehicles on this
campus. It must be enforced for
the benefit of all not just a few.
W. J. Korth

Director of Public Safety

GSA for
Student Activism

To the Campus Community:

Do you feel that your voice as
a college student is somewhat
ignored on issues whose mag-
nitude extends beyond the

perimeter of Agnes Scott? Maybe
that's because your voice was a
whisper or maybe your vocal
chords were burned out after
screaming "Go Jackets!" at all
those Tech games and "Born to
be Wild" at the Generics Band
Party. This is most definitely an
admirable use of the larynx, but
there is more to it. The voice of
college students has been actively
used and consequently influential
in the history of our country. The
privilege of responsibly relating
our views, ideas, concerns,
angers, fears, and protests to our
community, our society, and our
government is not being used to
its potential. We, as college
students, have a responsibility to
be aware of the issues and events
surrounding our country and the
world, and react to them in
accordance with the commit-
ments and ideals each individual
has adopted. This does not mean
that you should take sole respon-
sibility for the starving people in
Africa or single-handedly arrange
a summit to discuss nuclear arms,
but as a unified college voice we
could respond to these issues.
You don't have to love every
aspect of our country to appre-
ciate the privilege Americans
have to speak freely and peace-
ably assemble.

The avenue for this expression
is Georgia Students' Association
(GSA), a political organization

designed to unify students with
similar concerns. GSA is a non-
partisan organization that is in the
process of being reactivated on
our campus with strong links to
Emory's groups, such as Waging
Peace, Amnesty International,
United Campuses to Prevent
Nuclear War, Emory Central
American Network, and other
groups such as Habitat for Human-
ity. I encourage you to take
advantage of the speakers, the
people, the activities and experi-
ences. Don't be accused of
apathy or possessing tunnel
vision go out and make a differ-
ence. At the risk of sounding
cliched, it's our future, folks, and
it's our responsibility to participate
in the issues which affect us so
deeply. These organizations can
only exist with enthusiasm and
commitment. Please help keep
these organizations vital. Look for
signs in Buttrick for upcoming
events.

before they're thirty. It's kind of a
high-gloss American dream for
the Eighties, and it's undoubtedly
attractive on the face of it.

It's also a myth. I'd like to share
a few observations about it, not
to spread gloom and doom, but to
ease the pressure that can be
created by its unrealistic expecta-
tions and narrowed vision.

First, if you don't have a
$40,000 entry-level job waiting
for you when you graduate, it's no
reflection on you. Such jobs may
not be scarcer than hen's teeth, but
they're not much more common.

Moreover, you might not even
want a $40,000 job, believe it or
not. For your first job, and for the
others to follow, there will be
considerations other than salary.
Money may still be a deciding
factor, but only you can weigh all
the aspects of a job.

For example, is the work
reasonably interesting to you 9 Of
course jobs don't exist to keep
employees entertained. But don't
go into a field you actively dislike,
no matter how glittering the
prospects. You'll presumably
spend the majority of your adult
life working, and that's a long,
long time. Its not self-indulgent
to look for a job you can enjoy or
at least tolerate.

Does the job require "marrying"
the company, or does it leave you
enough time for the kind of private
life you want? One woman execu-
tive who now has her own ad
agency recently described some

of the trade-offs she'd made in
her career. She finds her work
fulfilling, but so demanding that
she doesn't even have a pet.

Does the job involve a lot of
travel? Some people find it tiring
and disorienting. Others thrive on
it, relishing the stimulation of new
places and a schedule that's
never the same from week to
week.

Would you be willing to relo-
cate? Do you function well in a
high-stress environment? Had
you rather work with the public or
other professionals? Would you
be comfortable in the "corporate
culture" of the company? The list
goes on and on.

You'll also want to think about
opportunities for advancement.
Here again, there is no single
answer. You may hope to settle in
with one company or organization
for the long haul, or you may take
a job with the expectation of
leaving in a couple of years. Many
people have a career path with a
zig-zag ascent. If worse comes
to worst and your first job is a
disappointment, don't feel that
you've irrevocably derailed your
career. Keep in mind that in
today's job market, most workers
will change careers three times
before they reach retirement.

Take advantage of your remain-
ing time at ASC to give some
serious thought to what you want
out of life. That's part of what a
liberal arts education is for, after
all. Then let that help you begin

to arrange your priorities for a
career. Make the most of the
chance to explore a variety of
interests, pursuits, and skills, both
through your coursework and in
extracurricular activities. You don't
have to sit in your room and
contemplate your navel, or slide
into some kind of "touchy-feely"
narcissism. For example, employ-
ers in almost any field value
organizational skills and com-
munications skills. You're already
using both, but if you feel they
need honing, volunteer for a
committee in a student organiza-
tion, or put some extra effort into
your next term paper.

By all means, tap the resources
of the Career Planning and
Placement office. They offer a

Honor Court Takes Firm
Stand on Alcohol Policy

Due to ASC's alcohol policy
in response to changes in state
laws - after September 30, 1986
roughly three-fourth's of the
student body will not be allowed
to drink alcohol on campus.
Because it is Honor Court's
responsibility to uphold this often
times disputed policy, it is appro-
priate at this time to explain our
position concerning the policy. It
is our hope that this statement will
result in greater understanding of
the necessity of the policy thus
promoting adherence to it.

The alcohol policy falls within
the jurisdiction of Honor Court
because it is Honor Court's
responsibility "to uphold and
regulate the Honor Code." (1985-
86 Student Handbook Adden-
dum, p. 21). A fundamental part
of the Code is the necessity of
"develop[ing] and upholding] high
standards of honesty and be-
havior" (p. 8) and the realization
of one's "social . . . responsibility
to the community"(p. 8). The
Alcohol Policy is one way in which
the Code is upheld. It would be
dishonest for the College and the
campus community to promote a
policy which is in direct opposition
to Georgia state law. Furthermore,
as members of the larger com-
munities of Decatur. DeKalb and
Georgia, we have a social respon-
sibility not to break laws which are
incumbent on other individuals.
As supporters of the Honor Code.
ASC students are bound by
honor This means we often must
be encumbered by it to the extent
that we must not do somethings
we like to do or want to do. Still,
we willingly accept the responsi-

bility inherent in attaining the
ideals of honor.

In addition to promoting the
Honor Code, the Honor Court
"has jurisdiction in matters injuri-
ous to the interests of the college."
(p. 21) This dictate is purposefully
vague so it is important for Honor
Court to interpret it in light of the
specific issue of the alcohol policy.
We do not see that our role is
merely to protect ASC against the
threat of liability. We do not stand
by the alcohol policy in order to
keep ASC from being sued out of
its endowment. We believe that
allowing underage students to
consume alcohol would by injuri-
ous to the interests of the College
because if underage students
were allowed to drink on campus
such consumption would be
illegal, thus unregulated, thus
potentially abused. Although we
put a great deal of faith in the
judgment of ASC students, it
would be naive to assume that all
students would be able to handle
such an uncontrolled situation
responsibly, particularly in the
case of alcohol. We therefore
believe that the alcohol policy is
a way of protecting the members
of this community. Although some
of us may disagree with the
mandates of the state law and
find they are inconvenient, we all
wish to protect ASC students.

We trust that upholding the
Honor Code and protecting our
friends and ourselves is a priority
not only of the Honor Court but of
each member of our community.
The Honor Court welcomes all
comments and suggestions regard-
ing the policy and its regulations.

Get Ready - The Race For
The Black Kitty Begins!

by Becky Moses

Mortar Board is proud to pre-
sent (drum roll, please) . . .
BLACK CAT 1986!! As always, the
primary purposes of the Black
Cat festivities are to reinforce
campus unity and to provide a
celebratory conclusion to
Freshman Orientation (not to
mention the run for the cherished
Black Kitty!!).

This year's Black Cat format
will be as follows. The competition
for the Black Kitty Award is based
on points accumulated in each of
the five following areas:

1) General Participation and
Spirit. This includes class turn-out,
spirit, and sportsmanship at the
Bonfire, Games, and Production.

2) Class Prank. The class prank
will be judged on the basis of its
creativity, originality, and visibility

to the entire campus. Because
the promulgated goal of Black Cat
is community spirit, individual
pranks result in a loss of class
points.

3) Song. The sister class song
will be judged for its originality in
music and lyrics, its "singability."
and its appropriateness for the
occasion. Each class will have
two chances to sing, once at
the Bonfire and again at the
Production.

4) Games. This year's games
include volleyball, tug of war,
three-legged race, obstacle
course, and the ever popular kitty
carry (sans real kitties due to
SPCA regulations). In an effort to
include intellectual challenge as
part of the games, a sister class
College Bowl competition has
been initiated this year! Points for
the games are given for 1st, 2nd,
3rd, and 4th places.

decorate a corner of Gaines
auditorium with its class colors
and a mascot related theme. All
decorations are to be completed
by 2:30 p.m. on Friday. October
10. Again, points are given for 1 st,
2nd, 3rd, and 4th places. All points
are awarded by faculty judges.

Beginning the Monday of Black
Cat week, the Freshman Class
will present one legitimate clue
daily as to the identity of their
class mascot. On Thursday, the
three upper classes will dress as
their "guess" at the Freshman
mascot, and that evening, the
Freshman will reveal their mascot
at the Bonfire.

And finally, Friday night after
the Junior Class Production, the
faculty judges will present the
coveted kitty!!

Mortar Board hopes this outline
will be helpful, and wishes
everyone a fantastic Black Cat.

5) Decorations. Each class will Good luck!

The Bell Tolls For Agnes Scott

Agnes Scott College has had a
bell tower since 1891. As of
Wednesday, September 3, 1986,
it also has a bell. Located in the
oldest building on campus, the
bell tower has been empty for
reasons unknown since its con-
struction. The acquisition of the
bell Is part of a large campus
renovation project to be com-
pleted during 1989, the College's
centennial year.

by Jill Reeves

The bell is specially hand-cast
of bronze and bears the text from
II Peter 1 :15 in Latin, which is the
College's motto: "Add to your faith,
virtue, and to your virtue, knowl-
edge." Installed by the Schul-
merich Company of Pennsyl-
vania, the bell was fashioned by
the Royal Eijsbouts Company of
Holland using a centuries-old
process.

When the bell was first rung, it

broke the silence in the tower
which rises above Agnes Scott
Hall or "Main," as it is popularly
known. Named for the mother of
Colonel George Washington
Scott, founder of the College, the
building contains residence
facilities and administrative of-
fices, and is in the process of
major renovation. In the early
days of the College, the entire
institution operated in "Main."

ASC Celebrates Honor System

by Aimee Peeples
and Julie Huffaker

Many people just arriving at
Agnes Scott do not yet have a
clear picture of the effects of the
honor system on our future
careers. It is hard to imagine a life
without honor and trust. The
Honor Court Convocation chose
Dr. Leon Venable to deliver a
short speech on Honor, or rather
the lack thereof. Dr. Venable's
speech not only shows us what
the consequences of dishonor
can be, but also instills a sense
of pride in our way of life here at
Agnes Scott: the way of honor.
For those at Agnes Scott about to

graduate, Dr. Leon Venable's
speech on honor held a special
reminder for our futures in what-
ever career we chose. For those
just arriving at Agnes Scott, his
speech shows that even a small
bit of dishonesty in college can
affect your entire life.

On the night of the 10th, follow-
ing the convocation, there was an
Honor Court party held in the
Rebekah Ball Room. The attend-
ance was good and it attracted
upperclassmen as well. The
freshmen were asked about their
opinions regarding that mornings
convocation and the responses
were all optimistic. They stated
their fears of pressures at ASC
and how they diminished as a
result of Dr. Venable's scholarly

advice. They said that less pres-
sure was felt by viewing their
courses as a chance to gain
knowledge rather than a time to
prove themselves and obtain high
scores. One vivacious freshman
said, "it has been instilled in us
that the upperclassmen respect
the Honor System and appreciate
the way it works and that this is
their way of life. Well, now we
understand it and have gained
respect for it as well."

The attitudes and responses
towards the ASC Honor System
are exceedingly optimistic and as
Dr. Venable nicely summed up,
"The system relies on each and
every student. It is up to you to
make it work."

Excerpts from speech below

Coke Visits ASC

by Katie Hager

Dr. Venable On Honor

I was given very simple direc-
tions for today's talk; speak on
honor and only honor for fifteen
minutes. That is the length of time
during which I am supposed to
define honor, to describe the role
that it will play during your stay at
Agnes Scott, and to explain the
dire consequences you will face
if you do not act honorably.

There was a time when any
speech on honor/dishonor was
completely unnecessary. There
was a time when the honorary
scientific society Sigma XI did not
feel compelled to publish "Honor
in Science," a handbook to instill
in scientists the importance of
honor and integrity in their investi-
gations. There was a time when
a publication in any discipline
could be trusted and regarded as
original work. There was a time
when honor and integrity did not
have to be taught but merely
demonstrated by one generation
for the next. For whatever societal
or individual reasons, this is no
longer the case. You may join
almost any faculty member at
lunch and you will find that each
is able to recite some horror story
involving dishonor among the
academic ranks.

Consider the following personal
history of today's typical student
facina today's typical pressures:

The student is trying to get a
take-home test in by the 5:00
deadline. The professor's door is
closed. No one is watching. The
student writes "pledged, 4:57
p.m." on the test. It's actually 5:10.
but then that's close enough.

The student has a major test
tomorrow and has no chance of
covering all of the material in time
In fact, studying has been so
strenuous that a small headache
is coming on. Maybe that
headache will last until the next
morning. Headache. Absence
committee. Post-poned test.
More time to study.

The student is afraid of falling
asleep before finishing the essay
that is due at 8:00 the next
morning. All that is needed is that
all-important closing sentence.
There was that obscure paper
with the sentence that states the
conclusion so well. Use it. It's only
one sentence and, besides, you
are thinking about graduate

school and you need that grade.

The student has successfully
completed an undergraduate
education and is in medical school
where a number one class rank-
ing is elusive. Maybe adding a
little potassium cyanide to a
labmate's experiment will slow
their experiment just enough to
allow an adjustment in class rank.
It's only one experiment and only
a slight adjustment in rank.

The final scene. The once
struggling student is now a re-
spected medical researcher at a
major American institution. Pub-
lish or perish. A familiar catch-
phrase. What is one falsified
publication among the literally
hundreds of thousands published
every year?

Although the situations that I
have invented sound a bit ex-
treme, they are not as fictionalized
as we may wish. In fact, I will call
your attention to the last event,
the deliberate manufacturing of
research results, results of suffi-
cient importance that they may
provide a foundation for future
studies in the field. That one
scene is different. It is known to
be true. The perpetrator, a medical
researcher of heart diseases,
falsified data, even to the point of
manufacturing families with heart
diseases. This went on for six
years. After discovery by col-
leagues, 40 medical abstracts, 18
publications, and two chapters in
a textbook on heart disease had
to be retracted. I did say textbook!

It may appear to be a great
distance between signing
"pledged, 4:57 p.m." and the
falsification of medical research,
but recognize that in the scenario
that I have provided, events have
come full circle. Back to haunt the
original scene, the classroom. I
think that for this speech the role
of the textbook is significant.
Although unheard of several
generations ago, there is a possi-
bility that at some point in your
studies you will encounter a
textbook in which incorrect infor-
mation was knowingly included
by the author. Even if only one
medical researcher is known to
falsify data, to what degree can
the remaining publications be
trusted?

The success of the Honor

System is up to only one group of
people. It is up to you as students,
both as individuals and as a
group. The only reason that the
Honor System will remain is if you
treat it with the respect intended.
Few things can divide a society
more readily than distrust. Jacob
Bronowski said "We must be able
to rely on other people . . . there
is a principle which binds society
together . . . this principle is
truthfulness."

If you thought the cafeteria was
being invaded by creatures other
than freshmen two weeks ago,
you were right.

Cobot, Coca-Cola's mechani-
cal advertising "agent," visited
Agnes Scott on Thursday, Sep-
tember 4, to remind freshman of
the Chocolate Chip Cookie Party
sponsored by the Career Planning
and Placement Center.

The party, held at the Winship
Terrace from 6:00-7:30, served
as a pleasant format for publiciz-
ing the services offered by the
Career Planning & Placement
Center.

Two students from Georgia
State, Daron Bates, a marketing
major, and Jeff Hallmark, an
operations major, came to A.S.C.
with Cobot and the Coca-Cola
van. Creative Consultants, an
advertising agency in Redan, Ga.,
brought Cobot and the van to
promote the Coca-Cola company.

The van and robot are available
to advertise Coca-Cola for any
school or business event sched-
uled in Georgia.

Mexico Musings

by Charna Hollingsworth

After rushing to finish exams,
packing suitcases and somehow
all gathering at the airport, we. six
Agnes Scott students, and Ada
Aleman. Agnes Scott's latest
addition to the Spanish Depart-
ment, all flew from Hartsfield
International Airport to begin a
month long stay in Cuernavaca.
Mexico. Cuernavaca is a small
but growing city less than an hour
south of Mexico City and five
hours north of Acapulco. As a part
of the Global Awareness Pro-
gram, we were to study Spanish
language and culture in a class-
room setting, while also visiting
various historical or otherwise
noted places in Mexico; but most
importantly, we were to live with
Mexican families who were to
provide a constant atmosphere in
which we could learn about
Mexican culture and language. Of
the many language schools in
Cuernavaca. we attended the
Multi-Cultural Center for Bilingual
Studies, a Mexican owned and
run school, which is attended by
a range of age groups and
nationalities (predominantly
American) in the pursuit of master-
ing or at least gaining a working
knowledge of Spanish. Upon
arriving at the school, which
(believe me!) was somewhat
more difficult than it sounds, all of
us were tested on both our oral
and written Spanish language
skills in order to place each of us
in one of the forty different levels
of grammar classes offered by the
school. After brief introductions
and greetings by school adminis-
trators and warnings and how not
to's by the school physician, we
all met our families and began
what was for all of us, in one way
or another, the most interesting
month of our college careers.
After getting into the schools
general schedule and that of our
families, we. on the average,
spent six hours at the school
taking grammar and literature

classes. The rest of the day was
left to have the early Mexican
dinner with our families, go on
school planned excursions, indi-
vidual treks to new and some-
times strange places near the city
or just to kind of "hang-out"
downtown to dine or people-
watch, true to Mexican tradition.
It was these times during the
week, aside from doing home-
work, that we had opportunities to
see local pyramid ruins, murals
by well known Mexican artists
and to visit weekly markets in
neighboring pueblos. We also
went road tripping to places like
Mexico City, during the World Cup
Soccer Tournament. and
Acapulco on the weekends. Of
course, at some time or another
we all spent time out in the city
doing things with our families or
going out with new found friends
from the Bilingual Center.

Over-all, the month study was
something if not to be treasured
then certainly remembered by all
of its participants. Most of us saw
things and experienced things
that we will probably never see or
experience, sometimes thank-
fully, again. All of us spent time
sick. All of us were badgered by
unrelenting solicitors of all ages.
We saw the results of what a
major earthquake can do to a city
which is stated to be the most
largely populated in the world. We
saw poverty to extremes to which
many people in this country will
never see. and the waste of
human potential brought on by a
blatantly corrupt government. But
we were given the opportunity to
share in the way that another
society lives, gained better insight
as to why some things are done
the way they are and perhaps
grounds for changing pre-
conceived ideas. I think that most
of us would say that though trying
at times, the summer study in
Mexico lent itself to more than an
academic challenge, for it was
also a chance to see a lovely
country in raw beauty ana in slow
transition to become something
other than a third world country.

People are the greatest re-
source of the United States. The
opportunities in our country at-
tract people from all over the
world. Historically, as a melting
pot. the United States has at-
tracted courageous, enterprising,
and energetic people.

Agnes Scott's Return to College
(RTC) Program has attracted
seven students who are not native
to the United States but have
come to seek its opportunities. In
interviewing these women. I
found them all to be exciting and
highly motivated people. Some of
the women already have bachelors
degrees and have returned to
school to update or change a
career.

Carolyn "Lynn" Horowietz has
been in the United States since
1974. She arrived from Australia
on a memorable occasion. She
said. "I arrived the same day that
President Nixon resigned from
office." After earning her
bachelor's degree, she traveled
extensively in Europe. She lived
in Sicily, attended the University
of Vienna where she took courses
in German, and settled in London
where she taught elementary
school. Lynn was married in
London; later, she and her hus-
band moved to Texas. Lynn said.
"I retired for awhile." Lynn is taking
classes in order to update her
teaching credentials.

Anna Sanchez comes to us
from Guatemala. She left Guate-
mala seven years ago and lived
in Japan for six years while her
husband earned his Ph.D. Anna
is fluent in Japanese. In addition
to school, Anna works part time
at the International Medical Clinic
at Emory Hospital where she is in
charge of patients from the
Japanese community.

Suzanne Hollister has been
living in the United States for
twenty-one years. She is from
Bremerhaven, Germany. She
said. "As a young girl. I was
encouraged to acquire a lan-
guage skill and work as a bilingual
secretary until I could get mar-
ried." She did just that. However.

rDon't be a-,

Laura's story is truly one of

remarkable courage. As an illegal
alien, she struggled at various low
paying jobs. She returned to
Equador after two years. How-
ever, she says, "I had changed. I
could not stay there. I had to
come back to New York." After
getting her citizenship, Laura
joined the army to get the benefit
of the G.I. bill for college. She
asked to be sent to Europe where
she traveled to Egypt. Greece,
Spam. Italy, and France. In
Germany, she met her husband

teaching in Heidelberg, but Laura
returned to the United States.
Laura said, "He followed me back
to the United States and we got

lived in France for one year and
in Germany for three years. After
having a child, Laura is making
her dream for an education come
true.

As a person who is ever curious
about people and why they do
what they do. I had great fun
talking to these extremely interest-
ing women. These students are
examples of the high quality
women who are selected for
admission by Agnes Scott. Al-
though they came to the United
States for different reasons, the
rigorous pursuit of education
binds them not only to fellow
RTC's but also to the spirit of all
Agnes Scott students.

RTC's are a vital part of the campus community.

Swede Talks of Homeland

by Anna Lena Neld

Do you know anything about
Sweden? About 15,000 years
ago, all of Northern Europe was
covered by glacial ice. When it
eventually melted from the moun-
tains it left them flatter and less
pointed than before. As a matter
of fact, Sweden's highest moun-
tain today is just over 6,900 feet
high.

In 1100 ad Sweden emerged as
a state although it had no real
center of authority. During the 13th
century Sweden had a very active
trade relationship with the north-
ern part of Germany. Hence, the
present day Swedes are descend-
ants of the Germanic tribes that
came -and eventually settled in
Sweden. Sweden has always
been sparsely populated espe-
cially during hard times when a
great deal of our population
emigrated, mostly to the United
States. We are. today, approxi-
mately 8.4 million people living in
a country equal to the size of the
state of California. Sweden ex-
tends 1000 miles from north to
south and 310 miles from east to
west. The climate varies greatly
within the country. The main types
of landscapes in Sweden are
mountains, forests, and plains.
Most Swedes are very fond of
being outdoors. We have some-
thing called "allemansratten" or
the right of common access. It
allows anyone to walk freely
through forests or across open
land to pick berries on the condi-
tion that he/she doesn't intrude on
the privacy of the owner, van-
dalize, or litter. Swedes need
space and freedom, and are
used to having a large area to

by Patricia Roy

Having been an apathetic per-
son myself, I know how easy it is
to get caught in the apathy rut.
Don't give up, believe it or not, you
can change! For example, this
summer I changed my attitude
dramatically when I became
involved in politics. I was tired of
living my life in the passive voice;
so. I decided to become active in
politics. But, the more I found out
about the platforms of some
politicians, the more scared I
became. So, I decided I would go
forth, take charge, and embark
upon a sojourn to that bastion of

themselves.

Sweden is a constitutional
monarchy with a parliamentary
form of government. The decision
making power of Parliament is
without limitation beyond those
based on the specific rules stated
in the Constitution. Included are
such rules as protection of free
speech, ban on capital punish-
ment, and the independence of
the courts and state civil service
in enforcing laws. To gain rep-
resentation in Parliament a party
must attract at least 4% of the
national vote or at least 12 % in
the single constituency. The term
of office for the party in majority
is three years. During that time
they try to move forward their own
ideas, but often the time is too
short.

People in Sweden are generally
quite active in political fields.
There seems to be a general
opinion that the young people of
today can improve the future. For
example, Sweden is very critical
of racism, especially South Af-
rica's apartheid system and has
already taken actions, such as
massive demonstrations. Another
issue thoroughly debated has
been whether or not to maintain
our few nuclear power plants.

Sweden is a neutral country
having no connections with NATO
or the Warsaw Pact. Sweden will
avoid involvement in any war
unless they are directly attacked.
In fact, Sweden has not been at
war since 1814 and the last death
penalty sentence was in 1910.

The industrial revolution arrived
late in Sweden. About 150 years
ago Sweden was still strongly
agrarian. Little by little people
began to move towards the city
and the industrial revolution

political activity, Washington, D.C.

While in Washington, I attended
the annual College Republican
Leadership Conference. The
conference was informative and
included speakers like Con-
gressman Jack Kemp, Pat
Robertson, and Sen. Robert Dole
who were on hand to delight and
enlighten the audience with their
political rhetoric and charisma.
President Ronald Reagan himself
was there to greet his faithful
Republican supporters. The politi-
cians spoke about important
political issues, ranging from SDI
to South Africa. All the brouhaha
made everyone feel quite patri-
otic, even the parties were
enough to make anyone proud to

began. Sweden has a highly
developed technology combined
with a smoothly running economy.
Our economy is called in eco-
nomic terms a "mixed economy."
Within the actual business sector
about 90% of the companies are
privately run and work in an open
market economy. The remaining
10% of the companies are owned
by cooperative societies or by the
state. Private investments,
excluding housing construction,
make up about 40% of Sweden's
total capital spending.

Our social welfare system is
highly developed. It's principal aim
is to narrow the gaps in income
between various groups. Under
the mandatory health insurance
system every permanent resident
of Sweden is guaranteed both
medical care and income mainte-
nance. If you are seriously ill. you
are entitled to 90% of your regular
income.

We have approximately 180
newspapers that produce at least
4.7 million copies and are often
tied to political parties. Commer-
cial advertising is not allowed on
either radio or television. In
Sweden people tend to watch
television more during the long,
cold winter nights, and not at all
during the summertime.

Since 1950 the Swedish educa-
tional system has been
thoroughly reformed at all levels.
As a rule all schools are operated
by the municipal authorities, thus
opening up educational oppor-
tunities for all young people and
adults. Nearly 90% of all sixteen
year old's continue to study after
compulsory schools at the various
universities in Sweden, or some
students continue their education
in other countries as I have done.

be American.

Despite all the activities, parties
and fun, all the College Republi-
cans were there for a reason.
Each of us felt the need to be
involved in some realm of politics.
We each felt that we had some-
thing to contribute to a govern-
ment that could use some refor-
mation. By taking an active role
in politics, or in whatever field you
choose, you have more control
over the shape and future of your
organization. I invite you to get
involved. You can start right here

In addition to all the new faces
on campus, returning students may
have noticed Sonia Kolesnikov
and Manuela Soell. the new
French and German assistants
for this year. Unlike the majority
of the new students on campus,
they must not only adjust to the
way of life at Agnes Scott but also
the American way of life.

For Manuela and Sonia. how-
ever, this adjustment has not been
too difficult. Sonia, whose home
is in Paris, has met many Ameri-
cans during her college career at
the Sorbonne, the university from
which she has just received
degrees in history and art history.
She will write the equivalent of her
master's thesis while here at
Agnes Scott. Her one hundred
page paper will deal with Hol-
lywood and McCarthyism.

Manuela is from the south of
Germany near Heidelberg and
has just received a degree in
English and French in order to
become a translator. Unlike
Sonia, she has been to the United
States before. Last year she lived
with an American family and
attended a junior college in

Florida. She feels, therefore, that
she is quite used to American life.

Both have noticed differences
between the life in their countries
and the life here. Manuela said. "I
cannot get around like I can in
Germany. In America one needs
a car because the towns are so
spread out." Sonia also remarked.
"The cars in the United States are
bigger that those in France."
Sonia also noticed that the French
are more private and more at-
tached to their property. For
example, she says. The French
often have fences to mark off the
lines of their property and also to
separate their yard from their
neighbors."

Manuela and Soma are in
charge of the language tables,
which meet on certain days in the
dining hall during lunch. Soma
specifies that anyone can come
to the table if they want to ask
about French life or culture it is
not necessary to speak French!
Manuela is happy that beginning
students come to the German
table, but she would also like to
speak with the more advanced
students.

Both of the assistants live in
Winship and are eager to help
anyone with their French or Ger-
man.

Professors' Salaries Increase Nationally

by Jim Schwartz (CPS)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
Professor's salaries after more
than a decade of freezes and
declines rose for the second
year in a row this school year.

College teachers got average
raises of 6.1 percent over last
year, a real gain after inflation of
2.5 percent, a nationwide study
by the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP)
released last week found.

Raises last year also amounted
to 2.5 percent after inflation, but
budget cuts and the hyperinflation
of the seventies had actually left
the average college professor
able to buy less than he or she
could in 1971.

Even after this year's raises,

professors' earning power is only
86 percent of what it was in 1971,
says Maryse Eymonerie, a con-
sultant to the AAUP. which is the
nation's third-largest college
faculty union.

'We still have catching up to do,
but we are certainly pleased with
the last two years," adds the
AAUP's Iris Molotsky.

Full-time professors now make
an average of $42,500 a year, the
survey found.

Many administrators earlier in
the school year predicted they'll
need to keep raising tuition an
average of seven percent a year
through the rest of the decade in
order to raise money to help pay
faculty members more.

The AAUP and others in the
academic community thank the
school reform movement, a grow-
ing shortage of certain kinds of
professors and the general im-

provement in the American econ-
omy for the raises.

"I would say the decrease of
inflation is the most significant
factor behind reversing the de-
cline of buying power," says Perry
Robinson of the American Feder-
ation of Teachers (AFT), another
major professors' union.

"6.1 percent is no big deal." he
says. "If the figure were nine or
ten percent, I would say you could
conclude there was a conscious
effort to reverse the decline in
faculty salaries."

And still the raises aren't
enough to draw top-quality
people to college teaching, others
add.

"We are not getting as many of
the best and the brightest we
used to," maintains Terry
Madonna, president of the Associ-
ation of Pennsylvania State Col-
lege and University Faculties.

Madonna says Pennsylvania's
legislature agreed to raise
salaries by nine percent because
they realized state schools were
losing talented people and.
perhaps more forcefully because
"we threatened to go on strike."

The AFT's Robinson believes
the school reform movement
often expressed as a nebulous
concern for course "excellence"
may have helped inspire the
raises in California, if not
everywhere.

Teachers on the 19 campuses
of California State University
received a 10 percent raise last
year, followed by a nine percent
hike this year.

"The California Legislature has
been generous the last few
years," observes Paul Worthman
of the California Faculty Associa-
tion.

But Worthman warns the in-

QUESTION #2.

HOW CAN THE BUDGET-CONSCIOUS
COLLEGE STUDENT SAVE MONEY?

a) Save over 50% off AT&T's weekday rates on
out-of-state calls during nights and weekends.

just fine.

c) Save 40% off AT&T's weekday rate on out-of-state
calls during evenings.

d) Count on AT&T for exceptional value and high quality
service.

e) Hang around with the richest kids in school; let them
pick up the tab whenever possible.

AT&T

The right choice.

creases are being used as bait by
trustees, who are trying to wrest
more control from faculty mem-
bers over how campuses are run.

As part of their proposal to raise
salaries by 6.8 percent next year,
for example, Cal States trustees
suggested procedural changes in
the way they could award bonuses
and make promotions without
consulting faculty members as
rigorously as they do now.

"This is really demoralizing to
the faculty. It's really a nasty
thing." asserts Prof. Ann Birge of
Cal State at Hayward.

In Colorado, legislators are
offering higher salaries in return
for closer control over the kinds
of courses and graduate pro-
grams certain state campuses
can offer.

Nevertheless, "I don't see 'quid
pro quo' (the practice, in this case,
of trading campus influence for
higher salaries) as a national
trend." Robinson says.

Moreover, professors in some
states particularly those de-
pendent on the depressed energy
economy won't be getting
raises at all.

Louisiana professors, for exam-
ple, have had only one raise in
four years, and the higher educa-
tion budget could be cut by
another 20 percent next year,
reports Horace Fairlamb of the
Louisiana Federation of Teachers.

"It's been very bad," he adds.
"There are people looking else-
where, especially this year."

In general, though, Molotsky
and Eymonerie think faculty
salaries will keep rising for a year
or two more.

Beyond that, they forecast
lower federal support for colleges,
which may make continued in-
creases in real income more
difficult.

Dixie Darlings Clog in Festivals

by Maria McGinnis

The Dixie Darlings would like to
announce quite an increase in our
number. Last spring we held
auditions and were excited to see
our largest try-out ever. The
following people joined the group:
Melanie Cliatt, Sarah Copenhaver,
Kim Mitchell, Mary Ruth Oliver,
Lynn Wilson, and Karen Wiseley.
Many of the new Dixie's were
alums from the Winter Tap/Clog
class, but we would like to tell
everyone that you do not have to

know how to clog to join we
will gladly teach anyone inter-
ested in learning.

Since last winter, we have had
two performances and are looking
forward to another one. Last
spring the group traveled to Mary
Ruth's hometown of Glennville,
Georgia, to perform at the Sweet
Onion Festival. Traditionally, the
whole town turns out for the event
along with many people who
travel from all over the state to
attend. Our thanks go to Mary
Ruth and her father for their
hospitality and the invitation to
perform.

This fall, the Dixie Darlings
again performed at the Stone
Mountain Yellow Daisy Festival.
Yellow Daisy is the largest festival
held at Stone Mountain, with as
many as 225,000 visiting in a day.
We performed in the Coliseum to
an enthusiastic crowd dotted with
familiar faces cheering us on as
we clogged. Our next perfor-
mance will be October 4 in Gay,
Georgia, at the Cotton Pickin'
Festival.

We practice Monday nights
if you are interested in or curious
about clogging, please stop by
the tap room during a practice!

Stupendous Cats Plays at Fox Theatre

Leslie Ellis is "Grizabella" in a scene from Cats.

by Kimberly Baker
and Rebecca Bradley

Have you ever wondered how
to address a cat? If so, attend the
"Jellicle Ball," better known as
CATS playing at the Fox Theatre
through September 28.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber
musical tells of the gathering of
the alley cats for the annual
Jellicle Ball to choose a cat to be
given a new life. The audience is
introduced to the individual cats
as they arrive and perform. We
meet such cats as the Gumbie
Cat. Rum Turn Tugger, Grizabella
who was once a glamour cat, Old
Deuteronomy who is the leader of
the Jellicles, and Mr. Mistoffelees
who is the magician cat. The cats
suggest several of the older cats
for the one to be given new life.
They do not consider Grizabella,
who is now old and worn, until she
tells of the "Memories" she has,
and they are won over to her side.

Cats is based on verses by T.
S. Eliot about the characteristics
of cats and the cat community in
the alley. The audience is told
about the way of life of the
Jellicles, the tales of famous
Jellicles such as Macavity, and of
course, the proper way to address
a cat.

The performance of Cats is
stupendous. One would never

know that Atlanta is the first stop
of this new company, as there
were certainly no opening night
jitters. On the contrary, the perfor-
mance is right on the money
and obviously has been well-
rehearsed. The dancing is as full
of energy as the powerful singing.

The stage is beautifully set with
a set similar to that in New York.
The production crew has done a
terrific job of turning the tremen-
dous Fox Theatre into an intimate
ball with the Jellicles in their alley
complete with an old sneaker,
broken tennis racket, and other
such trash. Flashing lights are
strung about the theatre and give
an added flavor to some of the
numbers. The cast draws the
audience into the play by coming
off stage and helping the audi-
ence to become part of the Jellicle
Ball.

The orchestra opens the score
with incredible impact, and the
music continues to swell, hitting
its strongest point when Grizabella,
played by Leslie Ellis, touchingly
belts out, "Memories." Ellis' perfor-
mance brings cheers from the
Fox audience who are on the
edges of their seats as she sings.

Every member of the cast
accurately captures the personal-
ity of cats with each exceptionally
developing the characteristics of
the individual cats. Rum Turn
Tugger, played by Andy Spangler,
carries an adorable style of Elvis

and the Fonz so perfectly any
kitten would purr all night for him.
Old Deuteronomy's voice echoes
clearly throughout the perfor-
mance and assures the audience
that he is in charge.

Mr. Mistoffelees. played by
Randy Slovacek. is an enjoyable
character who plays to the audi-
ence who happily claps along as
he dances away and performs his
magic. However, he is disappoint-
ing in his dance ability. The
choreographer should have
worked around his weaknesses
because his acting abilities are
superb. No one can fault Slovacek
if he cannot do consecutive turns
as long as he caters to the
audience as he does.

The only major fault in the
performance is the sound system.
The songs are often marred by
loud static which definitely de-
tracts from the talents of the cast.
The sound system of a theatre
such as the Fox should be free of
the problems experienced during
the performance of Cats.

Overall, the musical is ex-
tremely exciting. Trie whole cast
performs as one unit without
losing their realistic "cat" per-
sonalities. Cats is without a doubt
one of the best, if not the best,
Broadway production performed
in Atlanta. The cast is equal to that
in New York. Atlanta has a rare
treat in Cats that all should take
advantage of, but act quickly, as
it will soon be gone.

Imagine the surprise when,
instead of the favorite "Goodbye
Yellow Brick Road" sentimentalist,
this flashing hero in a rhinestone
tuxedo complete with tails and a
huge shock of pink mohawk
bounced out onto the stage and
plopped down at the piano.
Despite the fact the he wasn't
quite what I expected, judging
from his previous concert two
years ago. Elton lived up to
expectations by arousing the
audience with two and a half
hours of his piano playing and
singing.

He started out with a medley of
the beginnings of his songs and
finally ended the medley with
"Rocket Man." Much to the audi-
ence's delight, he continued to

Atlanta Vocal Consort will perform

8:30 p.m. a 25-voice choir will

music. Tonight and Saturday night
there will be services complete

Saturday's activities include
Scottish dancers and bagpipes, a
celebrity auction, art and craft

play some of his older songs,
such as "The Bitch is Back,"
"Daniel," "Norma Jean." and
"Saturday Night's Alright For
Fighting."

He apologized for his scratchy
voice by announcing that he had
not even been able to speak the
day before, but that he had stayed
in bed all day so that he wouldn't
have to cancel out on Atlanta. You
should have heard the crowd
scream!

About halfway through the
concert he announced that he
was going to do something that
he usually didn't do play
someone else's song. He added
that "Love Song" by Crosby. Stills,
and Nash is one of his favorite
songs. As usual. Elton came
through with flying colors and
made "Love Song" sound as if it
were his own and brought tears
to the eyes of his listeners.

shows, and plenty of food. The
day's events will begin with a fun
run in the morning to help finance
the festival.

The hours for the festival are 6
p.m. to 10 p.m. tonight and 10
a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday.
Admission is $3.00 for the entire
weekend. Free parking is avail-
able at the Georgia Mental Hospi-
tal at 1256 Briarcliff NE which has
a shuttle to the festival. For more
information contact the church at
634-3336 or 633-8386.

Another surprise came when
he said he was going to play a
song off his album Mad Man
Across the Water. He said it was
not one of his favorite songs, but
since he had so many requests
for it he was going to play it
anyway. As he started to play
"Levon" the crowd stood and
roared, and he got a standing
ovation when he finished playing.
Someone standing in front of me
said. "He ain't got no sense not to
like a good song like that." That
particular statement sums up my
feelings for the song in words
which I could not myself have
expressed, fortunately.

* It was a night to remember, and
all in all it was worth every minute
of lost sleep. He is as fabulous on
stage as he is in the studio. I still
smile when I remember that PINK
mohawk!!!!!

Atlanta, Ga. "Contemporary
Print Images: Works by Afro-
American Artists from the Bran-
dywine Workshop" will be on view
at The High Museum at Georgia-
Pacific Center September 15
through October 10. The 30
silkscreen and offset prints in this
exhibition offer insight into the
complexities of the printmaking
process. This limited survey of
works by contemporary Afro-
American artists also reveals a
great diversity of expression.

"The collection of prints by
black artists from the Brandywine
Workshop showcases the great
range of expression in contempo-
rary Afro-American art." says
Gudmund Vigtel, director of the
High Museum of Art. "The works
arise out of the artists' shared
heritage, yet they reach beyond a
single cultural experience to
express visions that are both
personal and universal." Vigtel
continues.

"While responding to the chal-
lenges of the printmaking pro-
cess," says Vigtel. "the artists
explore many of the trends and
influences of contemporary art, in
styles that range from abstraction
to photorealism."

Many of the artists featured in
this exhibition are known primarily
for their work in other media.
Among those represented are
Benny Andrews, Selma Burke,
Elizabeth Catlett-Mora, Keith
Morrison and James L. Wells.

"The approaches these artists
have taken are fresh, energetic
and colorful," says Vigtel.

The Brandywine Workshop was
founded in 1972 to provide oppor-
tunities in visual arts to talented
artists of all ethnic backgrounds.
Based in Philadelphia, the Work-
shop operates on a non-profit
basis. Through its programs, the
Brandywine Workshop provides
opportunities for minority artists
and all audiences to enhance their
appreciation of fine art prints.

"Contemporary Print Images:

New Students Hit the Town

by Kimberly Baker

On Friday, September 12, the
Alumnae Association sponsored
'Alumnae Night in Atlanta" for the
freshman class. The event was
designed to give the new students
a taste of the culture available in
Atlanta.

The night began with a dessert

party at 5:45. After munching
cookies and cake and mingling
with the alumnae, the students
headed for the MARTA station for
the journey into Atlanta. Once
there, students could attend the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
Concert conducted by Robert
Shaw or The Gospel of Colonus,
which tells the Oedipus story in a
new way complete with gospel
choirs, at the Alliance Theatre.

The students enjoyed their
night on the town. "I loved it. The
Gospel of Colonus was really
good," said Karen Anderson, a
freshman from Athens, Georgia.
Beth Casey of Kingsport, Tennes-
see agreed, saying, "It was a very
interesting and entertaining even-
ing." The Alumnae Association
once again succeeded in provid-
ing a much needed service to the
campus community.

The Academy Theatre proudly
announces the opening of its
1986-87 First Stage New Play
Series with Atlanta playwright
Rebecca Ranson's Elmatha's
Apology. Company veteran Kerrie
Osborne directs this dreamlike
play about a young woman's first
love and loss of innocence. In
unique Academy ensemble
style the production dramatizes
Elmatha's inner journey, using
imaginative lighting, staging,
movement and mime. Elmatha's
Apology opens September 24
and runs through October 18.
Performances are at 8 p.m.
Wednesday through Saturday,
with 3 p.m. Sunday matinees on
October 5 and 12.

Alternately humorous and poig-
nant. Elmatha's Apology is a

poetic exploration of a young
woman's coming of age in the
South. Mary Lou Newcott plays
Elmatha. Assuming multiple roles
in the life and consciousness of
Elmatha are John Liles, Spring
Mason, Michael Maschinot,
Suzanne Anson, Kevin Crysler
and Mack Anthony. Functioning
like a modern version of a Greek
chorus, the ensemble expresses
the group consciousness and
emotional connections through
powerful stylized mime sequences.

High Displays Worcester Porcelain

This porcelain coffeepot appears in the Worcester porcelain exhibit at the
High.

More than 200 pieces of 18th-
century Worcester porcelain will
be on view at the High Museum
of Art in the exhibition, "'Noble
Pursuits: Worcester Porcelain
from the Klepser Collection,"
September 23-November 16,
1986.

Considered by many to be one
of the finest collections of Worces-
ter porcelain from the factory's
first 30 years (1750-1780). the
exhibition will feature examples of
almost every type of porcelain
ware: cups, saucers, teapots,
vases, soup tureens, and an
especially rare piece, a decagonal
mug.

In addition to these pieces are
choice samples from all of the
dinner services made for English
royalty, including those for the
Duchess of Kent, the Earl of
Dudley, and the Duke of
Gloucester.

The porcelain is richly decor-
ated with birds, flowers, country
scenes and Chinese-inspired
designs in exotic colors such as
royal and powder blue, sea green.

purple, scarlet and gold, dem-
onstrating the decorative virtuos-
ity and color perfection achieved
by the Worcester factory in its
initial years of production.

Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Klepser,
a Seattle, Wash., couple, acquired
the majority of their Worcester
collection between the early
1940s and the mid-1960's. Their
interest was sparked when Priscilla
Klepser, browsing one day in the
antiques section of a Seattle
department store, spied seven
antique cream pitchers lined up
on a mantel. She immediately fell
in love with them and went home
to tell her husband. When Mrs.
Klepser described them to him,
Mr. Klepser went to see the
pitchers and bought all seven.
The Klepser Collection of porce-
lain had begun.

Following this initial purchase,
the Klepsers began amassing
books on ceramics and acquiring
early English porcelain, but with-
out any real direction. It wasn't
until the autumn of 1944 when Mr.
Klepser wrote a British antiques

dealer, Leonard Crow of Tewkes-
bury, did the collection of "first
period" Worcester porcelain begin
to take shape.

Mr. Crow, a respected authority
of English porcelain, advised the
Klepsers on purchases for the
next decade. Through frequent
and detailed correspondence (the
Klepsers met Mr. Crow only twice,
both times in 1951), the couple
bought more than half of their
pieces sight-unseen. As a tribute
to his invaluable assistance. Mr.
Klepser asked the dealer to write
the foreword for the catalogue of
the Klepser Collection to accom-
pany a 1955 exhibition at the
Seattle Art Museum.

Organized by the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts with funding
provided by the Isobel A. Fraser
Exhibition Fund, it is the first
presentation of the renowned
collection since the premiere
show in 1955. A fully-illustrated
book, with reprints of letters
written to the Klepsers from Mr.
Crow, accompanies the seven-
week exhibition.

Agnes Scott Kickers Anticipate a Good Year

by Gretchen A. Pfeifer

The AS Kickers are at it again,
only this year their existence has
an even greater meaning than
before. This year our Soccer
"team" can be referred to as ASCs
first Soccer league, having new
membership in the Decatur/
Dekalb YMCA Soccer League.
What's even more exciting is the
fact that the AS Kickers are now
guided by their new Coach. Reed
Covington. The team members
are really enthusiastic about their
new title and new coach. How-
ever, it won't be an easy road to
success, since practice is held
three times a week, for two hours
each session.

Due to inclement weather dur-
ing the first week of practice, the

AS Kickers only had one real
practice together before their first
game of the season against the
Sun Runners from Gwinnett
County on Sunday. September 7.
Although the AS Kickers struggled
for stamina during the first half,
they kept their opponents on their
toes. Captain Sharon Hargraves
made a number of impressive
saves as our goalie. The first half
was ended with a score of 4 to 0.
Sun Runners ahead, but this did
not affect the Kickers, because
they showed their best team plays
during the exciting second half.
Despite the end score of 7 to 0,
Sun Runners having won, the
spirit of our Kickers was still high.

From a personal standpoint as
co-captain, I believe we played
our best in the second half, and
we certainly do show potential for
improvement. After all. with all

we've got going for us right now.
there's only one way. and that's
straight up!

Those who participated in
Sunday's game were: Adele
Clements. Mary Cole. Tuba
Goksel. Sharon Hargraves. Karen
King. Sally Mairs. Michelle
Malone. Kathy McKee. Shan
Oates, Lisa Oliff. Aimee Peeples.
Gretchen Pfeifer. Laura Williams
and Jean Wilson.

On September 14. the AS
Kickers suffered a 0-3 loss to the
Stingrays, an unaffiliated Atlanta
team. A better second half
performance, however, left the
team feeling good about the
game.

This year we hope to play a
game every Sunday afternoon,
and everyone is welcome to cheer
us on! On Monday, September

Scott Coaches YMCA Soccer Team

by Beverly Jones

Rick Scott. Vice President for
Development and Public Affairs,
has just started coaching a soccer
team for boys under 12 through
the DeKalb YMCA. Having ac-
cepted the position on very short
notice, he only had one week to
work with the boys before their
first game, on September 7, so it
was difficult at first to pull the team
together They lost their first game
0-11. but by the next weekend
they'd won a game 4-2. Scott
attributes this to a strong em-

phasis on cooperation and
teamwork.

According to Scott, the most
rewarding and exciting aspect of
coaching this team so far has
been watching them go from an
ununified group that had never
played together before to a group
of good players that are willing to
cooperate, share the ball, and
play as a team. "It is remarkable
that they did this in only a week's
time, even with the motivation
such an overwhelming loss can
be." Scott noted. Another pleasing
part of his new job is seeing his
team members learn to be com-
passionate and helpful towards

k aft

those who aren't as skillful. Other
benefits of team sports for kids
are establishing a program of
exercise and getting to know other
kids their age. said Scott.

When asked if he had any
advice for Agnes Scott's team, he
pointed out that since soccer
hasn't been very popular in this
part of the country until recent
years, it will take time for it to
become a sport with a lot of
experienced players on the local
level, and as time goes by. local
teams will improve. Meanwhile, if
you'd like to see some of soccer's
future stars in action. Scott's team
plays every Saturday morning at
Wmnona Park Elementary School
on Avery Street, just three blocks
from campus. Times vary from
9:00 a.m. to noon, so check with
Rick Scott in advance. He and his
team would love to have you
cheer them on to victory'

Class of '87 Inwsted

by Maureen McNulty

In keeping with an age old
Agnes Scott tradition, the mem-
bers of the class of 1987 processed
into Gaines Auditorium on the
afternoon of Saturday, September
20, 1986 to be invested with
senior status. Following President
Ruth Schmidt's welcoming ad-
dress, Senior Class President
Jennifer Spurlin introduced the
guest speaker. Dr. Becky Prophet,
Professor of Theatre, who was
hand-picked by the seniors for the
occasion.

Dr. Prophet chose as the title of
her speech No Beginning, No
Middle, No End or The Challenge
of Change. She focussed upon
five specific points in her speech:
change as a continuum; attitude
as a factor in if not the determi-
nant of, one's assessment of any
alteration; change as a process
having neither an inherently good 1

nor bad quality; the need for
critical contemplation of the
possibilities of change; and the
role of personal creativity in
determining one's ability to com-
prehend, adjust to. or accept
change.

Dr. Prophet drew examples of
contrasting attitudes toward
change from a wide variety of
sources. She touched upon
Shakespeare, Dinah (a creation
of novelist Rob Forman Dew),
and Emerson in her exploration
of reactions to change. Descrip-
tion, fear and applause, respec-
tively, emerged as the three ways
of coping for which these people
opted.

She went on to explore the view
of change in the Chinese culture,
where it is considered part of an
ongoing process and is not
"compartmentalized" as it is in the
West.

Stressing flexibility and creativ-
ity in confronting change, Dr.
Prophet maintained that "... im-
mersion in study which we both

give and receive here should be
a point of massive transition and
continue to provide us with the

"You may cling to the past or

Following the speech, the
seniors filed on stage before the
seated faculty, where Dean Hall

vested, the students crossed the
stage to receive the presidential
handshake. The ceremony ended
with the singing of God of the

ASC Adopts A School

by Debbie Strickland

On September 26, 1986, Agnes
Scott College joined a group of
more than thirty of the most
prestigious organizations in the
metro Atlanta area when it
adopted Renfroe Middle School
of Decatur. The Adopt-A-School
program was initiated in 1984 by
the DeKalb County Board of
Education to strengthen the ties
between the school and the
community. A participating organi-
zation "'adopts" a public school
and then uses its resources to
improve the learning environment
of that school. Businesses such
as Georgia Power and Burger
King Corporations were among
the first to participate and their
success prompted many others
to adopt schools. Very soon after,
most of DeKalb's schools were
adopted. In the past year, many

other metro school systems,
including Decatur, have imple-
mented their own Adopt-ASchool
programs."

The Renfroe adoption was
formalized during a special Com-
munity Coffee Hour in the Rebe-
kah Hall Conference Room when
President Schmidt vowed that
Agnes Scott is "serious about
working together" and em-
phasized that the interaction
between the two schools is "a
matter of importance to the larger
community." She then gave the
certificate to Mr. Julian Relf.
assistant principal of Renfroe
who spoke about the future of the
relationship.

Already, several student groups
have volunteered to help Renfroe
students with homework two days
per week for one hour periods.
These groups include Students
Working for Awareness. Students
for Black Awareness, Chimo,
and and Circle K. Representa-

tives from each organization were
present at the ceremony, along
with student representatives from
Renfroe. The Agnes Scott stu-
dents presented the Renfroe
students with an assortment of
ASC products, including sweat-
shirts and notebooks. Also pre-
sent from Renfroe were counselor

Gary Madden, and teacher Virginia
Neary, an ASC alumna.

The ceremony marked the
beginning of a new and construc-
tive relationship between Agnes
Scott and Renfroe. This relation-
ship will more effectively link the
college to the Decatur community
now and in the future.

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE

by Maureen McNulty

I think I've touched on something. Like a raw nerve.

The response to my editorial in the September 26 issue, which
concerned the disappearance of competancy in grammar from the
myriad of hallmarks of the Agnes Scott student, was overwhelm-
ingdisturbingly so.

I was stopped between classes, on the stairs and in the hallways;
many approached me in the dining hall and library; there were notes
stuffed in my mailbox; several professors addressed the issue
during class time; I was even stopped in the laundry room on a
Saturday afternoon. From students and faculty alike, the answer
came back, loud and clear: yes, we've got a serious problem here.

The only member of the campus community to offer a response
intended for publication, however, was Dr. Bo Ball. His words are
anything but reassuring.

Dr. Ball's attention to the general trend in American education
suggests more far-reaching implications of the writing problem. At
one glance, he takes in the fluid philosophy in education, trimmed
entrance requirements, the commercialized approach to recruit-
ment, and the plummet in the caliber of college students which
results from all three.

Although I view his very modest estimate of the diminished
numbers of the writing-conscious and his prophesy of doom as the
creations of a freely licensed, caustic wit. I know better than to
weigh lightly his contention that "... our standards in English are
only half as high as they were a decade ago." His flat assertion
that "... we would not have a college" if students incapable of
writing properly were failed calls into question the integrity of this
institution.

What is one to presume when a highly respected professor comes
forward with such a shocking evaluation of the student body? What
escape is there from confronting the very real possibility that "the
Agnes Scott woman" is losing her credibility 9

If not confrontation, then what course are we to take 9 Perhaps
we should sweep this dirt back under the rug. After all. some might
argue, it's a rather messy business, and it stinks of compromise of
standards. This kind of thing just isn't good for business.

Professor Speaks
Up On Declining
Standards Issue

Dear Editor:

I would like to applaud your last
editorial. For years now, even the
best Agnes Scott students haven't
known the basics of English
grammar and/or composition.
But, then, one-third of our people
(some college graduates,
teachers, and administrators
included) are illiterate. Among the
United Nations, we are forty-
eighth in education. We are the
new barbarians, and most of us
wallow in our ease and ignorance.

The causes for such a decline?
Certainly the Vietnam War made
college education seem sense-
less. Standards fell so that we,
the teachers, could keep young
men out of the War. High school
raps took the place of classes.
"Relevance" (velvetheaded
sweetness and light) became the
"battle" cry; reason, the arch-
enemy. College standards were
lowered again to attract the "pool"
of fewer warm bodies (and dad-
dies' wallets). American educa-
tion, in general, has become a
business but one more Piggly
Wiggly.

I know that our standards in
English are only half as high as
they were a decade ago. If we
were to fail those students who
cannot write well (for past ignor-
ance and present performance),
we would not have a college.

A Plea for
Safe, Sedate
Black Cat

To the Students.

As the Black Cat season is
underway, we would like to call to
your attention several problems
that arose during Spring Fling
1986. The week after our festive
festival, the general manager of
the Hotel Tower Place called
President Schmidts office with

complaints regarding our stu-
dents' behavior and the dam-
ages resulting from that behavior.
He reported several significant
incidents:

1) Pool furniture was thrown into
the pool.

2) Lobby furniture was placed in
the elevator.

3) Two fire extinguishers were still
missing at the time of the call.
(Note: it is a crime to tamper with
fire extinguishers.)

4) There was a hole the size of a
football in the corridor of the fifth
floor.

. 5) It appeared that drink glasses
were broken in every corridor.

In addition to the actual physical
damages, many non-Spring
Flingers were disturbed by the
"drunken and disorderly behavior"
(hotel manager's words). In fact,
a group of 30 interior designers
refused to pay their bill which
amounted to $2,200. The hotel
requested notes of apology to
these guests. It then became the
duty of Jane Castles. Social
Council President, to make ex-
cuses for our students' behavior.
It should not be the responsibility
of the Social Council President to
write 30 letters apologizing for her
peers.

As a result of the damages
listed above, the hotel will never
again do business with any
school: moreover, they canceled
previously booked functions ex-
plaining that the behavior of
Agnes Scott students forced them
to implement this policy im-
mediately. Needless to say. this is
a horrible embarrassment to both
the college and to us as individuals.

Many students plead innocent to
the above charges, replying that
their dates were the perpe-
trators of this vandalism. However,
those "men" were the guests of
students, thus making the students
responsible for their behavior. We
are not proposing that you hurl
yourself between your dates fist
and the wall; we are merely
reminding you that you are respon-
sible for your date's behavior as
well as your own. and that you
should try to prevent such incidents
from happening. Asking your date
to behave as though it were his
school or fraternity's name at stake
might prove to be an effective
deterrent. Perhaps with a little
precaution we can avoid such
inexcusable behavior at future

Health Center's

Professionality

Questioned

Dear Editor:

My letter of contention has to
do with Agnes Scott's new student
health services. By now you may
know that, along with everything
else, the student health center
has been given a facelift. The
center, now located in Main,
boasts a professional-looking
waiting area and a new director,
Pat Murray. However, as nice as
the new facilities may be. I would
like to bring to the attention of our
campus a few of the problems yet
to be taken care of. I am referring
to the centers lapses in profes-
sionality and its often patronizing
operational procedures. So what
if the waiting area looks profes-
sional when discreet information
is proclaimed loudly enough for
everyone in the clinic to hear?
And, I wish someone would
please tell me what is the purpose
of maturing and taking care of our
own bodies and minds when the
Health Center literally forbids us
to call an outside doctor or
counselor without intervening. Are

we. as independent Agnes Scott
women, not capable of dialing a
telephone for ourselves and
explaining to a professional why
we need to see them 9 I think the
student health center needs to
take a good look at itself and
make some real changes, not just
those of the superficial sort.
Thank you.

Protests Campus
Shop T-shirts

Dear Editor:

While walking to the post office
for about the tenth time the other
day. I was arrested by a night-
marish scene. There, in the
window of the Agnes Scott Cam-
pus Shop, loomed two tee-shirts
which promulgated the name of
another institution of higher edu-
cation (higher being a relative
term, of course). There, surround-
ing a shirt with Agnes Scott
spelled out in teddy bears and
another shirt advertising the
newly-formed Agnes Scott Polo
team, were two Georgia Tech tee-
shirts. Panicked, I forgot my
mailroom mission and was off like
a shot to seek reassurance from
my beloved roommates. As I told
them what I had seen, expres-
sions of alarm passed over their

faces, and they cried out in
stunned disbelief. "Has Agnes
Scott become a subsidiary branch
of Georgia Tech 9 "

"But wouldn't someone have let
us know?"

"Perhaps this is part of some
insidious plot of Georgia Tech's to
steal away some of Agnes Scott's
few good women 9 "

"But how, and why 9 "

"Well, never mind the why but
howl"

Puzzled and confused, not
knowing where to turn for the
higher truth which would explain
this mystery. I collapsed. The
stress of this perpetual question
mark was too much and my mind
snapped. Why are there Georgia
Tech tee-shirts in our bookstore 9
Why aren't they in Georgia Tech's
bookstore where they belong?
According to a reliable source,
there are no Agnes Scott tee-
shirts (with or without teddy
bears) in the Georgia Tech
bookstore. Emory seems to have
kept a tight rein on their tee-shirts.
So, for that matter, have
Morehouse. UGA, Mercer, and
every other college in the world.
Please, higher-ups (higher being
a relative term, of course), if there
is going to be some change in our
school's status, I'm sure we'd all
like to know more about it.
Sincerely (well, almost).

Colleges As Commodities:

SCHOOLS ADOPT LURES

by Rose Jackson, CPS

Increasing numbers of colleges
this fall are using tuition discounts,
waivers, "futures" and payment
schemes more common to car
dealerships than campuses to
attract students.

"Colleges can no longer sit back
and wait for students to come to
campuses." explains Steve
Pelletier. director of public affairs
for the Council of Independent
Colleges.

"Although many colleges were
initially reluctant to market (them-
selves four or five years ago),
they are now taking a pragmatic
approach." he says.

"Colleges cannot afford to drag
their feet."

But while schools did start
upgrading their images with new
logos, greater emphases on

"marketable" degree programs
and even recruiting videotapes to
help draw students to them, the
use of financing schemes is new.

A huge number of colleges are
offering students and parents
financing schemes this fall that
feature credit cards, deferred
payment plans and payment
installment programs, reports
Meredith Ludwig of the American
Association of State Colleges and
Universities (AASCU).

Ludwig is unsure just how
effectively such financing
schemes actually recruit new
students and keep "old" students
attending classes.

But the colleges themselves
seem happy with the new plans.
Calvin College in Michigan says
it's sold some 300 "gift certifi-
cates" that can be used to help
pay for semesters in the future.

Some other kinds of creative
marketing schemes also have

reaped awards for schools.

In Maryland. Anne Arundel
Community College students
pass out brochures and recruit
new students in local shopping
malls, and have helped increase
enrollment by 16 percent.

Atlantic Community College
sends recruiters into Atlantic City
streets and pool halls to recruit
prospective minority students.

But not all marketing plans
work.

St. Vincent College in Latrobe.
Pennsylvania, last spring spent
S15.000 on a marketing campaign
to attract students who fly their
own planes by capitalizing on its
proximity to the Westmoreland
County Airport.

But. poor visibility and threaten-
ing skies kept all but two prospec-
tive freshmen from the first "fly in
for a visit" day.

lege has no aeronautics program.

read: "A student may appeal a decision of any judiciary body once
only to the next higher court. The decision to appeal or not must be
made in writing to the presiding officer of the court whose decision is
being appealed within forty-eight hours after being informed of the
court's decision. The student must also file a statement of intention to
appeal with the appropriate appeal body within three days after her
case has been decided." Genie Chilcutt mad a motion that, we accept

Brain vs. Computer Where is the yearbook?

Students and faculty ponder over questions raised in the latest ' Don't
quote me" seminar.

by Becky Moses

Not being one predisposed to
things of a scientific or technolog-
ical nature. I. to whom a gooc( %
of the buttons on a common
calculator are a complete baffle-
ment, to whom chemistry is most
conveniently defined "math on
drugs," took immediate offense to
the title of the most recent "Don't
Quote Me" lecture "Artificial
Intelligence Vs. Human Creativ-
ity." As if there were even a contest
between the two! (And off I went
onto the familiar value-of-the-
liberal-arts tirade.) Why. without
human ingenuity. I protested,
artificial intelligence would not
even exist, much less presume to
challenge its creator!

But the obvious superiority of
human creativity. I learned, was
not being challenged. It was being
asserted. Dr. Leonard, artificial
intelligence researcher and
Agnes Scott math professor,
explained that ultimately, the
computer is only as intelligent as
its "knowledge engineer." The
system is only capable of the logic
and decision making processes
programmed in via algorithms.
The primary focus of artificial
intelligence research is to develop
computer systems that function
more like the human brain.

These computers, some of
which are being developed,
others of which are already in

use. are capable of a number of
processes previously considered
impossible. For example, some
systems have a kind of "learning"
ability. When numbers are tested
for their feasibility in a given
formula, the computer now oper-
ates on a "trial and error" basis. If
a number does not "work" in a
given formula, that fact is stored
in the memory, and the number is
not tried again. Ordinarily, the
system would try the number as
often as it came up as data, never
actually appropriating the results.

This is just one ot many recent
advances aimed at duplicating,
insofar as is possible, the proces-
ses and capabilities of the human
mind. Dr. Leonard (and several
other enthusiastic faculty mem-
bers) expressed a great deal of
optimism about the increasing
possibilities afforded by ongoing
artificial intelligence research.
And once I satisfied myself that
Milton and Monet were not to be
pitted against IBM. I only had one
question: How long will it be
before a computer can compose
an "A" paper for Dr. Nelson?

The "Don't Quote Me" lecture
series is sponsored by Mortar
Board to encourage dialogue
between faculty and students, on
topics interrelating science,
technology and life. Dates and
topics for upcoming "Don't Quote
Me" lectures will be announced
in The Profile.

Where is the '85-'86
Silhouette 9 Many Agnes Scott
students have been wondering
why they have not received a
yearbook from last year. Senti-
ments on the subject range from
placid acceptance to outrage,
although most students seem to
understand the reason for this
delay.

According to this year's
Silhouette editor, sophomore
Shari Ramcharan. the annual was
not completed on time last year
"due to circumstances beyond our
control." The yearbook staff con-
sisted of only four or five students
who were unable to cope with the
huge task of putting together a
college annual.

The Silhouette issued a state-

ment at the end of last year that
the yearbook would be distributed
this fall, in an effort to include
spring events. Many students feel
that this information was mislead-
ing, since it made no mention of
the fact that the staff was running
behind schedule. Students were
surprised to arrive at school this
year to find no yearbook in sight
and no information concerning
when, if ever, they would be
receiving their annuals.

"Better late than never" seems
to be a fitting motto for the '85-'86
Silhouette. Shan remarks. "I'm
happy to say that last years editor.
Debbie Davis, has told me that all
the pages have been turned in to
the company and the books will
be here at the beginning of spring
semester."

Although this news is definitely
good news, the students are
unhappy that the situation ever

got to the point of such disorgani-
zation. Mitrina Mogelnicki says,
"It's really sad. It shows a lack of
interest in the school no spirit
and no organization." Shelby
Threkel plans to do her part in
making sure this situation never
arises again by working on the
Silhouette staff this year. Johna
Wardman says. "I think it is
ridiculous that our money is not
being spent as it should be! We
expected it at the beginning of this
year." Monica Pina believes a
public statement is in order. Dolly
Purvis is outraged by the apparent
apathy and irresponsibility, and
Suzy Kleese pleads for patience.

Things are beginning to looking
up for the Silhouette. With efficient
planning and a staff of 25-30
students, we can expect to re-
ceive a quality yearbook on time
this year.

Dr. Campbell Speaks of India

by Teresa Ramirez

It's midnight in Bombay. India,
and twelve Agnes Scott students
ride on a bus creeping into the hot
steamy Indian night. Penny
Campbell overhears this com-
ment: Tm sure we're not staying
in this neighborhood!" But Dr.
Campbell and the ASC group
stayed in that neighborhood and
similar ones for five weeks.

Despite the weekly talks held in
January before the trip, the
students still experienced quite a
culture shock. What the students
saw in Bombay was unbelievable;
waterpipe homes, beggars,
amputees, and humans afflicted
with elephantiasis. These people
welcomed the visitors to India.
"Most students were shocked into
silence." Dr. Campbell mentioned
at the Faculty Tabletalk. " The girls
became numbed with "reality": the
unfamiliar sights and smells of
hunger, destitution, disease, and
poverty."

However, the adventure was
not all that dreary. The students
began to adapt themselves into
the culture. Of course, phone calls
to. and from the U.S. helped ease
the painful culture shock. Many of
the students grew and learned to
appreciate their American
privileges, such as Coca-Cola,
fresh water, and a high standard
of living.

Bargaining on the streets was
another curiosity for the visitors;
most of whom got ripped off by

.Faculty and staff chat over lunch before Penny Campbell delivers her
India speech.

the local merchants because of
their naivete. One student bought a
"snake-skin" purse for fifteen
American dollars. She had no
realization of the value of one
green dollar in India. Needless to
say. the vender promptly left the
scene with his fortune.

The trip began in the middle of
June and lasted through the end
of July. While in Madras, the
Agnes Scott group celebrated the
Fourth of July. They planned a
Great American party, during
which they had watermelon and
barbecue chicken by a poolside.
Some members gave speeches,
others made an American flag out
of a towel and some crepe paper.
Finally, everyone played and sang
American songs.

For Dr. Campbell. India is her
partner in a love-hate relationship.

She has undertaken twenty years
of travel to India, and regrets that
every year India's condition gets
worse. Her knowledge and love
for the country increases every
year; it has to. in order for her to
be able to answer the bombard
ment of questions thrown at her
by the students. As she has
traveled. Dr. Campbell has seer
the problems of over-population
depression, and decay that chal-
lenges India. Now when she
travels, she has mixed feelings.

"It's like having to squash half
of me to get the psychic energy
to go back." Dr. Campbell
exclaimed. She spoke highly of
the amount of nerve, courage,
and stamina displayed by the
students. But what about Dr
Campbell 9 "Oh. me? I'm com-
pletely exhausted."

are all free and open to the public.

The TV series began Tuesday.
October 7. at 9 p.m. on the nine-
station network.

The nine one hour programs
will trace the history and culture
of Africa, with special emphasis
on its "triple heritage": what is
indigenous, what has been contri-
buted by Islam, and what has
been imposed or acquired from
the West THE AFRICANS seeks
to provide the context so often
missing in the news media, and
to correct the misperceptions that
persist from ignorance or prej-
udice. Author/scholar Dr. Ah
Mazrui is host for this rare look at
Africa from the inside out.

THE AFRICANS is a coproduc-
tion of WETA, Washington, DC.
and the British Broadcasting
Corporation, with major funding
by the Annenberg/CPB Project.

A companion book for the
series, written by Mazrui. is
available in libraries and
bookstores.

GPTV is cosponsoring a non-
credit college course on THE
AFRICANS with the Georgia
State University Division of con-
tinuing Education, in addition to
the seven special events. The
outreach is supported by * ten
international, national, state, and
local organizations.

"Georgia Public Television sees
the Outreach Project as a commu-
nity service both to blacks, who
have an inherent interest in
learning more about Africa, and
to the community at large.*' says
Teresita Whitaker. the project's
coordinator. "The broad base of
support that the project has

received underlines its impor-
tance and appeal. Our aim is to
provide insight into African cul-
ture: and because Africans have
made significant contributions to
American society, our hope is to
offer insight into our own as well."

Alumnae on Campus for Conference

by Lucia Sizemore

Alumnae who serve as volun-
teers for Agnes Scott College as
admissions representatives, fund-
raisers, club presidents, or class
officers were on campus for a
weekend of training and participa-
tion in activities of the campus
September 19-21. The purpose of
Alumnae Leadership Conference
is to bring these special volun-
teers up to date on Agnes Scott,
to give them ideas to help them
serve their special constituencies,
and to provide a forum for alum-
nae suggestions and input as we
work together for the college. The
opening activity of the conference
was a Garden Party honoring the
Senior Class who will become
alumnae at their Graduation next
May Since the Leadership Con-
ference and Investiture were
planned together this year, the
alumnae felt a special excitement
about the opportunities to get to
know the seniors and to see that
their own special traditions are "in
good hands." The Friday evening
dinner with the faculty was a

delight as everyone listened to
columnist Ina Jones Hughs '63.
from Charleston, SC. regale the
audience with memories of her
years at Agnes Scott: "Sometimes
when I look back on my years at
Agnes Scott, it seems as if I were
in another country; as if during
those years, I was in another
lifetime. . . . Maybe because it
was such a long time ago. . . .
But, maybe those four years were
years that belonged rightly so
to another lifetime: years were
sliced out of our lives, set apart
from what had gone before, apart
from what was yet to come. Little
islands, unconnected to the main-
land, but around which we sail
and get our bearing wherever we
go from then on." Ina went on to
remind her audience that there
was "another way of viewing the
world. It wasn't through rose-
colored glasses, either. It was
more like looking at the world
through a wide-angle lens. There
was time to look at all the
possibilities, to explore new
beliefs, to see yourself as a
person who not only could make
a difference in the world, but
should And would

On Saturday the alumnae lead-
ers attended a session with the
officers of the College to hear the
latest news about the campus.
Then they went to workshops
taught by the Board of Directors
of the Alumnae Association where
they made plans for the activities
of the Association for the coming
year. The Class Officers' Work-
shop had an overflow crowd as
Gay Blackburn Maloney '76
shared plans and suggestions for
reunions during Alumnae
Weekend. April 24-26. 1987.
Mildred Love Perry '61 and Lynn
Donham, Director of Publications,
led a special discussion for Class
Secretaries who are responsible
for keeping up to date information
about their class in the Class
News section of Main Events.

Dr. David Young speaks at the September 24 Convocation.

Technology and Love

by Kathy McKee

During the community hour on
Wednesday, September 24. Dr.
David P. Voung spoke on the topic
"The Speed of Love: Technology
and Ethics" in a convocation
sponsored by the Chaplain's
Office. The focus of Dr. Young's
talk was the current emphasis on
technology as a means of improv-
ing the quality of life and the
consequential global inattention
to love.

Because of this absence of love
as an actor in the technological
drama. Dr. Young raised the
question of whether technology
alone does, or can. improve the
quality of life for the peoples of
the world. Dr. Young offered his
audience an answer in the form
of an example involving the
'Green Revolution' in Southeast
Asia. The 'Green Revolution' is
the term for the development of
hybrid rice strains which allowed
for more rice production per unit
area in that region. All Asian
farmers reaped the benefits of
this increased production capabil-
ity for a short time following the

development. Eventually, how-
ever, in order to continue the
improved yield and resultant
profits after production had finally
peaked, the rich farmers began to
purchase land owned by the poor.
The result, according to Dr. Young,
was an even greater disparity
between the farming classes in
those Asian countries. Thus, the
Green Revolution," considered a
major technological advancement
by all. has improved the quality of
life for only a few.

A second example offered by
Dr. Young was the arms race
between the superpowers. In the
race for increased tactical profi-
ciency, the superpowers have
used technology to create
weapons which promise mutual
destruction in the guise of security.

Noting several times in the
discussion period following his
talk that he had no solutions to
the problem which he had pre-
sented. Dr. Young emphasized the
need for increased individual
awareness of the problem and a
subsequent examination of
priorities. In David Young's opin-
ion, love should be number one
nn the list

The Profile's Guide to Black Cat Dining

RTC Involvement
On the Rise

by Sarah Napier

Does this scenario sound famil-
iar to you? It's Black Cat week,
your schedule is packed with all
the traditional activities of this time
of year and possibly a few tests
or papers to complicate things.
Around the middle of the week
you realize that, while you've
remembered to find a date for the
big night, you have absolutely no
idea where to take him for dinner!
Don't panic! Before you call him
and go through the "I don't know,
where do you want to go?" routine,
check out The Profile Guide to
Dining Out in Atlanta. Metro
Atlanta offers a wide range of
restaurants from black tie to
casual, to trendy and ethnic. Here
are a few suggestions:

Dailey's Restaurant and Bar.
located at 17 International
Blvd.NE, offers good traditional
steak, seafood and chicken en-
trees as well as some more
innovative pasta dishes.
Swordfish is one of their special-
ties and they also boast of an
"outrageous" dessert bar. No
reservations are needed and
dinner entrees range from $6.95
to $15.95.

The Country Place, located in
the Colony Square shopping
complex in midtown, has a beau-
tifully spacious interior and live
piano music. The menu varies
nightly, but they always offer
dishes featuring excellent combi-
nations of spices and flavors. The
pasta and seafood dishes are
usually good, and if you're really
hungry try the "mile high pie" for
dessert. No reservations are
needed and dinner prices range
from $7.95 to $15.95. Salad and
delicious rolls are included with
dinner.

with your worldliness, try a restau-

by Kimberly Lamkin

Did you sit at home or on the
beach this summer wondering
what you could do to earn that
extra money? Some students
here at Agnes Scott took the
initiative and found summer
internships or externships to
occupy their time as well as to fill
their wallets.

Sarah Copenhaver is a junior
here at ASC, and this summer
she held a two month internship
with a private attorney in Decatur.
As a legal assistant to a criminal
lawyer, Sarah had the experience
of visiting criminals in jail, talking
with victims and going to court.
The attorney she worked for
works under the Georgia Senate
Judiciary Committee which is in
charge of passing laws. When
asked how she liked it. she
replied. "I loved it' He really helped
me a lot."

Donna Doorley is a senior, and
she worked at The Atlanta Botan-
ical Gardens for three months this
summer. She worked in the actual

rant with the international flair of
ethnic cuisine. Nakato. located
on Piedmont Road, features
excellent Japanese meals. This is
a great place to go with several
couples since you can request a
large table around a grill and
watch your dinner being prepared
by expert chefs. The seafood,
chicken, shrimp and oriental
vegetable combinations are excel-
lent and Nakato's also offers
sushi, for those adventurous
dates, as well as tempura dishes.
For the more intimate evening,
Nakato's offers individual rooms
where you and your date can
have a quiet and romantic dinner
(with your shoes off!).

Anarkali Indian Restaurant,
located at 2115 N. Decatur Road,
features exotic Indian cuisine.
Indian food in general is very
spicy but Anarkali offers mild
versions of many traditional
Indian dishes. Reservations are
recommended and entrees range
from $3.50 to $7.50.

The Virginia Highlands area
offers several excellent choices
for a special evening. Chow is a
fabulous new restaurant located
at 1027 N. Highland Ave. Chow is
a definite must for the upwardly
mobile Black Cat date! The menu
features innovative pasta and
seafood dishes, and the fresh
salads and rolls are delicious. The
atmosphere is subdued and the
decor is creative and modern.
Dinner entrees range from $4.95
to $13.95 and no reservations are
needed. Tim s Ice Cream down
the block would be a fun and
inexpensive choice for dessert.
Other good, trendy dining spots
in Virginia Highlands are Capos
Cafe and Partners.

If a more casual evening is
what you're after, try Micks,
located on Peachtree Road down-
town just past the Columbia
theater and at Lennox square.
Micks is noisy and fun, and they

gardens themselves for about one
month, but when the weather got
too hot she moved indoors to the
Public Relations, Education and
Development Offices. She found
out about her job through a sign
in the dining hall and then inquired
at the CP&P office. Donna is a
Biology major and had this to say
about her job: "I really enjoyed it.
It . . . made me think about what
I wanted to do in my major."

Mary Humann. a senior, worked
for C&S Bank this summer in their
management training program for
a corporate bank. Each intern has
her own project to work on, and
Mary's was in the Economic
Development Department. She
made a slide show and brochure
based on the economy of the
Southeast. The show and
brochure were a part of a cam-
paign to interest foreign firms in
using the Southeast as a possible
site for manufacturing plants.
Mary used to be a teller for C&S.
but decided she needed to move
on. She said that she will probably
work there after her graduation in
Ma v.

Louisa Parker, a sophomore,

play great oldies. The
sandwiches, pastas and hambur-
gers are good and the chicken
grills are also excellent. If you're
really hungry, try a calzone (a
stuffed pizza); they feature sev-
eral variations. Make sure not to
miss the chocolate cream pie for
dessert! It's a classic! Prices at
Micks are inexpensive. No reser-
vations are needed, but go early
because it is always crowded.
Vickery's. in Midtown, is also a
good choice for a casual evening.

Finally, if you're after the once
in a lifetime romantic and sophis-
ticated evening and you just
received a hefty paycheck or
birthday money from grandma,
try Capriccio, located in Buck-
head on Pharr Road. This is a
small restaurant with a luxurious
decor and an exquisite menu. The
food is classic Italian but offers
many interesting and unique
variations to compliment the
Italian flavors. The fresh pastas
and seafoods are bautifully pre-
pared and the service is excellent.
Reservations are required and the
prices are expensive, but it's worth
it if you want to go all out for the
big night!

If your date would rather be
throwing a frisbee than wearing a
tux and sipping wine, or you just
feel like being a little more
creative, try a "Black Cat picnic"
in one of Atlanta's parks. The
DeKalb Farmers' Market offers an
excellent selection of fruits,
cheeses and homemade breads
to make for a delicious picnic.
Murphy's Deli in Virgina Highlands
sells gourmet sandwiches and
desserts to go

So whether you and your date
choose to have a classic night out
in downtown Atlanta or are seen
discussing "the latest" in Virgina
Highlands or gazing into each
other's eyes at Capriccio, or just
hanging out at the park, have a
great Black Cat night! Bon Appetit!

received a Governor's Internship
to work with the Arts Council in
Gainesville, Georgia. Louisa was
the youngest person to receive
the internship which is usually
awarded to juniors and seniors.
She received the award in jour-
nalism. The Governor's Internship
is a program in which the state
and the organization involved
both donate money and then pair
the prospective intern with a
suitable organization.

Louisa worked on the Arts in
Schools Guide collecting informa-
tion on artists, writing copy and
working on mailing lists. She
discovered the job through a
friend at church who was con-
nected with the organization.

Jill Reeves is a senior who
worked 40 hours per week for the
Atlanta Journal and Constitution
this summer and the previous
summer. She worked in the Public
Relations Department and cov-
ered aspects of PR from the
planning of special events such
as the Peachtree Road Race to
writing copy and designing layout.

The RTC population represents
a growing percentage of the
Agnes Scott campus community.
There are 72 enrolled RTC's as of
fall, 1986.

Most, however, take a partial
course load at least at first. As
with any part-time endeavor, the
fringe benefits of that particular
activity are the first to go.

For example, when you work
part time, from 9-12 or 1-5, your
boss usually does not include a
lunch hour for you. Thus while you
carry on a working relationship
with fellow employees, you miss
the benefit of social interaction.
And that interaction is vital to
nurturing new relationships.

So it goes with the RTC's. Part
time status does not lend itself
easily to interaction with student
organizations. Slowly but surely
this vital interaction is occurring
on campus today as RTC's are
elected to Honor Court, Rep
Council, and Orientation Council.
There are RTC Mortar Board and
Glee Club members. There are
even veteran RTC Global Aware-
ness trip participants.

As one RTC becomes involved,
others follow suit, and the results
are rewarding all the way around.
Not only does the RTC feel useful
and involved, the organization
benefits from having more mem-
bers to carry out its tasks.

Aurora editor Dorothy Sussman
is a full time RTC student. This is
Dorothy's second year on the
staff. As a result of her example,

as they had never had a PR intern
before. She then submitted an
entry to the Public Relations
Society of America's (PRSA)
Phoenix Award under the corpo-
rate level and won the award for
the layout and copy of her entry.

According to Jill, both summers
were "an excellent opportunity."

several other RTC's have joined
the Aurora staff this year.

Profile editor Maureen McNulty
requested an RTC contact this
year. Maureen stressed the impor-
tance of regular RTC news in the
campus newspaper, saying, "We
need to hear from RTCas". As a
result, RTC Phyllis Heaton volun-
teered to organize and coordinate
regular input of RTC news.

In addition to being involved in
ongoing campus organizations,
the RTC's are a campus organiza-
tion themselves. At a recent RTC
meeting, the specific RTC commit-
tee that caught my ear (so to
speak) was the Campus Enrich-
ment Committee. Headed by
Phyllis Heaton, this committee
plans an event each semester
that involves the entire campus
community.

Phyllis explained to the group
that in order to be specifically
sanctioned, each campus organi-
zation must sponsor an event
designed to enrich the campus
community. And it must involve all
students.

Thus the RTCs can involve
themselves by planning an event
for the entire campus. It was
exciting for me to hear the buzz
of ideas that flew around the
room. The animated faces
showed a group of women eager
to participate.

I wholeheartedly applaud those
RTCs who dare to involve them-
selves in campus life. I thank the
traditional students for opening
the door to their clubs and
organizations. Together we can
benefit from shared lunches.

She found out about the job when
she worked in the Agnes Scott
Public Relations office and a
friend showed her how to write a
cover letter. Jill now works in the
ASC CP&P office.

Congratulations to the interns
and externs for all the fine work
they did this summer!

SB A Sponsors South African Speakers

by Karen Moore

and Debbie Strickland

In recent years one of the most
active organizations at Agnes
Scott has been Students for Black
Awareness, a black conscious-
ness raising club, whose goals
are, according to president Karen
Moore, "to inform, enlighten, and
expose the larger community and
the Agnes Scott community to
black culture, black achievement,
and the history of black people."
Last year the club sponsored the
Apartheid Resolution, an expres-
sion of concern about the busi-
ness ties of corporate ASC sup-
porters to South Africa. Another
important event was the first
national celebration of Martin
Luther King's birthday in January.
Members of the club observed
the holiday by marching in the
downtown parade.

Now, with the 1986-87 school
year underway, the club has
begun to plan activities for both
the fall and winter semesters.
SBA's first major event will take
place on October 15 at 8:00 p.m.,

when Tandi Gcabasche will speak
and present a 30 minute film. Ms.
Gcabasche is the director of the
Georgia Coalition for Divestment
in South Africa. She is the daugh-
ter of Noble Peace Prize winner
Albert Luthuli, co-founder of the
outlawed African National Con-
gress in South Africa. The African
National Congress is the anti-
apartheid organization associ-
ated with the political prisoner
Nelson Mandela.

Ms. Gcabasche will lecture on
her personal experiences in
South Africa and the reality of
being black in a country lead by
a white racist regime. Tandi
herself was forced into exile from
South Africa in 1970 and has since
been a resident of Atlanta. Ms.
Gcabasche has been extremely
active in various anti-apartheid
organizations on a volunteer
basis. In 1980 she became the
director of the South African
Program for the American Friends
Service Committee for the South-
eastern region of the United
States. She travels extensively
throughout the Southeast present-
ing lectures and seminars about
the South African experience.

The October 15 presentation by
Ms. Gcabasche is SBA's first
concrete action in response to the
anti-apartheid resolution that they
presented to the board of trustees
last fall. The club hopes thatthis
experience will make the at-
rocities of the apartheid system a
reality for the entire Agnes Scott
community.

The presentation by Ms.
Gcabsche will occur in conjunc-
tion with a West African art show,
that is being sponsored by the
DeKalb Arts Council. The art
show, which will be in the Dana
Art Gallery, begins at 7:00 p.m. on
October 15.

Next semester will also be busy
for SBA. The club will organize
activities to celebrate Martin
Luther King's birthday and then in
February, Black History Month.
The club has already planned a
Black History Month kick-off
dinner and a sweetheart raffle for
Valentines Day. In the planning
and execution of these and other
events, Students for Black Aware-
ness welcomes input from the
entire campus community. Inter-
ested students are invited to
meetings, which are held every
Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

Students challenge,
Board responds

What follows is the resolution
that the Students for Black
Awareness presented to the
Board of Trustees last year.

We the undersigned of the
Agnes Scott community wish to
pursue a more active political
stance. In light of the situation in
South Africa, we wish to ask the
Board of Trustees what is their
position regarding apartheid.

As members of the community,
we are diametrically opposed to
the philosophy of apartheid.
Those principles with which Peter
Botha shackles South Africa are
morally offensive to the sen-
sibilities of us all. Now, we wish
to ask you, our Board of Trustees,
what thought you have given this
issue and what position you wish
the college to maintain. What
dialogue, if any, has taken place
among your ranks regarding
apartheid? Do you wish to voice
a particular stance at this time?

In light of the aforementioned
issue, we are proposing a
dialogue among the various
constituents of our community.
This dialogue would take the form
of a committee, or any other form
of communication that the Board
of Trustees might wish. Our
purpose in asking for a dialogue
is to ensure a heightened aware-
ness of the issue at large, as well
the subtleties of the oppressive
mentality which has been fostered
throughout our history

We appreciate the opportunity
to bring this issue to the Board of
Trustees' attention, and welcome
any communication that you
might have about this issue.

The following response is
excerpted from Main Events,

series 83, No. 2, Summer 1986.

Board chair Larry L. Gellerstedt
Jr. appointed an ad hoc commit-
tee, chaired by Nancy Holland
Sibley '58, to determine the
board's response. "It enabled the
board to be more aware of the
general feeling and to articulate
the policies we've been using for
investment," said Lamar' Oglesby,
chair of the Investment Committee.

"This resolution was approved
at the January 17 meeting of the
board, but they have been making
investments with these guidelines
for a long time," said Gerald O.
Whittington, Vice President for
Business and Finance. "Sound
investment equals moral or social
responsibility."

"investment policy
must address not only
South Africa but also
broader issues of
social responsibility"

The board responded with a
resolution stating their opposition
to apartheid as practiced in South
Africa and their support of the
Sullivan Principles. They also feel
the College's "investment policy
must address not only South
Africa but broader issues of social
responsibility" investing only in
those companies which are
among other requirements
socially responsible.

The general investment policy
states the board's intention to play
it "prudent and safe" with the
College's investment funds.

TURKEY: Cultural Crossroads of the East & West

by Zeynep Yalim

The two narrow straits of Bos-
phorus and Dardanelles are
where the waters of the Black Sea
and the Mediterranean mix.
where Asia and Europe meet, and
where cultures merge into one
another. At this unique and
strategically important point of the
world is Turkey, a country where
life styles and culture have been
and are being greatly affected by
the geographical location.

Turkish people are exposed to
the influences of different life
styles from every direction be-
cause of a wide variety of neigh-
bors which includes Iran, Iraq,
Syria. Greece. Bulgaria, and the
U.S.S.R. The clash of Western
and Eastern culture is present in
every aspect of daily life, espe-
cially in the modern and ur-
banized cities such as Istanbul.
Ankara and Izmir. In spite of this
rapid westernization and indus-
trialization omnipresent, espe-
cially in the big cities, eastern
values are not lost; the minarets
of the mosques and the skyscrap-
ers reach the sky, side by side.

The best example of this con-
trast is the city of Istanbul, the
cosmopolitan metropolis of seven
million people where colors of all
shades are present. A wide variety
of people walk in the crowded
streets: Arab tourists in long, white
robes. European and American
tourists with cameras on their

backs, and Turks in jeans, sweat-

To Rush or Not to Rush . . .

by Aimee Peeples

The walls of Agnes Scott are
presently splattered with signs
advertising fraternity and little
sister rush parties. As an Agnes
Scott student you may have many
questions about fraternities.
Which is the fraternity to go to 9
What do little sisters do 9 Is it a
status symbol to be a little sister?
Is it the "cool" thing to be a little
sister 9 Is Georgia Tech the only
place where the guys are? What
are the answers to these and
many other questions that you
may have about fraternities 9 In
interviewing various Agnes Scott
students about the issue of
fraternities. I found a great deal
of variation in their answers to
these questions.

First of all. why go to Tech?
Many students feel that their
journey down North Ave. to Tech
serves as a way for them to get
away from school, to visit a "real"
campus, go to a party, be with
some males for a change and to
just have a good time. Some
students go to hear the bands and
to be in the company of their
friends, while others go with the
intentions of meeting guys. Then
there are those who go with the
intention of hearing a band and
end up meeting a guy! (Okay, so
it is rare 1 )

The frat houses seem to be a
big part of the social life of many
Agnes Scott women On Thurs-
day nights. PJ.'s and Buckhead
are also popular with Agnes Scott

roup.

students.

So. if you have checked out the
Frat scene and deeded it is right
for you. what about becoming a
little sister 9 Would it be an easy
way to find dates 9 There are many
benefits to being a little sister, but
dating is not one of them. The
majority of brothers date girls that
are not associated with the
fraternity and look at little sisters
as their sisters and friends.
Obviously, there are exceptions in
the dating situation and there are
also people who are not satisfied
with the way they are treated as
little sisters.

Being a little sister involves
dedication to the fraternity and to
the brothers. You are expected to
help with fraternity functions at
any time and to act as a hostess

to visitors. Little sisters pay dues
every quarter and sometimes pay
extra for special parties. There
are also weekly meetings that
little sisters are required to attend.
Being a little sister involves more
than simply going to parties and
becoming close to the brothers, it
involves time and dedication.
Only if a student feels she can
commit to this responsibility
should she consider rushing.

Obviously, rushing is not right
for everybody, and many students
find it rewarding to be socially
independent Many students re-
main involved with a fraternity but
have other ways of filling their
social needs as well. There are
definite advantages and disad-
vantages to being involved with a
fraternity. The choice is yours.

coffee in renovated kiosks and
palaces, with the grandeur of the
sultans or with the intimacy of
their people, in small cozy cafes
lined on the Bosphorus. Discos,
night clubs, casinos and amuse-
ment centers present alternative
forms of entertainment. However,
the best choice of all might be
taking a walk around the Bebek
Harbor, smelling the fresh, cool
aroma of the sea breeze and
seeing the sparkling white yachts.

Among the everyday cultural
activities are movies, theater,
ballet, concerts and art galleries.
Annually, two big cultural events
take place: the Istanbul Festival
and "Sinema Gunleri," (Movie
Days). The Istanbul Festival is a
month of collective cultural ac-
tivities, which brings many enter-
taining performers from all over
the world. Performances in the
past have included concerts by
the New York Philharmonic. Ham-
burg Symphony, and Utrecht
Philharmonic Orchestras, ballet
performances by the Bolshoi
Ballet Company and Moscow
Classical Ballet, and a production
of "An Abduction from the Palace"
performed in the Topkapi Palace.
In "Movie Days", prize movies of
the year are shown.

A favorite pastime for sultry
summer weekends, however, is to
go to the neighboring beaches on
the shores of Marmara and the
Black Sea. Day trips to these
places, although quite enticing,
are not as popular as longer
holidays on the Mediterranean

TURKEY:

by Evren Dapdelen

Todays Turkey is the descend-
ant of the Ottoman empire which
ruled almost two thirds of Europe
and most of Arabia and Northern
Africa for more than 600 years.
The Turks have been on the scene
since the fifth century and have
enjoyed an enormous amount of
tradition and cultural variation.

As a consequence of the geo-
graphical location. Turkey is now
a colorful and diverse country.
The very rich social interaction
which we have had with other
countries has produced a very
interesting contemporary Turkey.
95o of the country is Muslim, and
the remaining minority consists of
Jews, Americans, and Christians.
One of the most rewarding as-
pects of Turkish life is the com-
bined richness of all of these
communities. It is a special kind
of feeling to live with people of
such varied origins.

The official language is Turkish,
although many groups have re-
tained their traditional languages

opportunities for

shores. Small Mediterranean and
Aegean towns like Bodrum.
Kusadasi. and Cesme are perfect
holiday sites with their pineco-
vered shores, blue seas and
unique atmospheres. Most pre-
ferred of all is (of course, by those
who can afford it! 1 ) the 15 day
"Blue Cruise" made in a yacht
down the Mediterranean Coast.

There is another aspect of life
in Turkey, namely that of the more
traditional Anatolian villages. In
these villages, the main occupa-
tions are agriculture and cattle
raising. People are still unbelieva-
bly hospitable: every door is open
to a stranger who has no place to
go and every bite of food is shared
with any person, regardless of
race, color or religion. Large
extended families still live to-
gether, under one roof.

Strong family ties are not
unique to the villages, and can
still be observed in the cities
where children prefer to stay in
the family atmosphere until they
are married. Although women
have been active in all aspects of
the social life since 1934 when
they were granted their full rights,
they are also still the central
figures and the homemakers of
the Turkish family.

Turkey is a country with warm
people, with warm shores, with
belly dancers. With tradition, with
modern thought. With a history
that springs from under every
stone. But most importantly, it is
a dynamic, developing country
with a future. And it is fun to
experience!

Rich with Diversity,
Alive with History

and it is not uncommon to en-
counter people speaking in
Spanish or Greek.

Turkey is divided into 67 prov-
inces, and history seems almost
alive in the palaces, mosques,
museums, and buildings which
have all been renovated. .Istanbul,
the largest city in Turkey, with a
population of 7 million, stands out
as a historical as well as contem-
porary city Some of the most
fascinating masterpieces of Is-
lamic art are located in Istanbul.

Turkish education starts at the
age of six or seven with five years
of primary education, three years
of middle school, and three years
of high school. Turkish students
enter college at the age of
eighteen, with a major already
established. Turkey has several
foreign middle schools and high
schools. Middle schools and high
schools are sometimes single sex
institutions but all of Turkey's
colleges and universities are
co-ed.

Agnes Scott students will be
able to sample Turkish cuisine
and learn more about Turkey on
International Students Day.

Preparation for Crimes continues

by Marsha Michie

The Blackfriars are now re-
hearsing Beth Henley's Crimes
of the Heart, a comedy about
three sisters in a small Mississippi
town. Don't go to the performance
expecting to see slapstick humor
or a "whodunnit" murder mystery.
The play is funny, and you proba-
bly will not be overwhelmed by its
deep philosophical meanings, but
you will be touched by this story
of the sisters Lenny. Meg, and
Babe.

Becky. Prophet, the director,
describes the play as "a valuable
study of human relations." em-
phasizing that it "deals with family
members trying to become
friends with one another." The
hardest thing to accomplish in this
production, says Prophet, is to
make the actors "think like sis-
ters." To accomplish this, each of
the actors writes a biography of
her character leading up to the
time of the play, describing her
relationships with the other
characters and her feelings about

things that have happened. The
actors must also draw on past
experiences. "Personally." says
Prophet, "I have to think about a
lot. not only in my relationship
with my two sisters, but in other
sibling relationships I've observed."

Jeanie Norton (Lenny) and
Jeanine Dwinell (Meg) each have
two sisters, which helps them to
understand this sibling relation-
ship. Felicia Wheeler (Babe),
however, has no sisters. She says
she observes sibling relationships
and talks with the other actors
about their families. But. adds
Felicia, in regard to the other two
actors. "When you're with some-
one that much, you're going to get
closer anyway."

And they are together that
much. For six and a half weeks,
the cast has been in the theatre
every weeknight. and some
weekends, at 7:15. ready to warm
up before rehearsal begins. It is
a commitment that cannot be
taken lightly. Becky claims that
most people do not realize what
kind of discipline acting requires.
Rehearsals are a constant strug-
gle for the actors to understand

more clearly the relationships that
their characters have with one
another. Scenes are constantly
interrupted by Becky's asking,
"Why did you say that 9 " The
actors must always know their
characters' motivations, or there
is no life in the performance.

Not only must Jeanie, Jeanine,
and Felicia attain a sisterlike
relationship as Lenny. Meg. and
Babe, but they must also deal
with Chick, played by Carroll
Thompson, a cousin who is not
actually a part of their close
family; Barnette Lloyd, played by
Mark Jordan. Babe's lawyer: and
Meg's ex-boyfriend. Doc. played
by Randy Rogers.

Performance dates for Crimes
of the Heart are October 23. 24.
25. 30. 31 and November 1
Performances begin at 8:15 in the
Winter Theatre of the Dana Fine
Arts Building. Tickets are S2.00
for ASC students. S3. 00 for area
students and ASC faculty and
staff, and S4.00 for the general
public. Group rates are also
available. For reservations, call
371-6248.

Classical Pianist Performs at ASC

Classical pianist John Browning
will perform selections from the
works of Mozart. Beethoven and
Rachmaninoff as part of Agnes
Scott College's Kirk Concert
Series on Tuesday. October 14. at
8:15 p. m. in the College's Presser
Hall.

with the New York Philharmonic,
the Chicago Symphony, the
Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los
Angeles Philharmonic, the Cleve-
land Orchestra, and the Toronto
and Vancouver Symphonies, and
has performed in concert in all the
major music centers of Europe.

piano masterworks of the classic,
romantic and contemporary litera-
ture, and he has received public

as well as critical acclaim.

In addition. Browning has ap-
peared in performance at the
Saratoga, Blossom, and Ravmia
Summer Festivals, the Summer-
fest of the Minnesota Orchestra
and at the Hollywood Bowl. He
has recorded on the RCA, CBS
Masterworks. Capitol and Desoto
labels, and he was invited to
appear with Neville Marnner and
the London Symphony Orchestra
to perform a Mozart concerto at
the Barbican Center Performing
Arts facility in London.

Life Magazine called Browning
"a golden boy in a golden age of
pianists." and headlined a four-
page story on him: "The Busiest
Fingers on the Keys." The con-
certo repertoire has been en-

riched by the Samuel Barber
concerto written especially for
Browning, and it has become the
most frequently performed con-
certo of the second part of the
20th century. Also written espe-
cially for him are Twenty-Four
Preludes for Solo Piano by
Richard Cumming.

Tickets for the October 14
performance are S9. general
admission, and S6 for students.

tinguished musicians to the cam-
pus each year and are open to
the public. For additional informa-
tion, call 371-6430.

Johnson Delights Audience

mini

Dr. Calvert Johnson's first organ recital at Agnes Scott.

by Rebecca Bradley

Dr. Calvert Johnson presented
his first organ recital at Agnes
Scott on Tuesday. September 23.
at 8:15 in Presser Hall.

The evening opened in Mac-
lean Auditorium with a jubilant
series of early Spanish works.
The pieces included de Heredia's
Obra de 8 tono alto: Ensalada

which translates as "salad". The
music featured a delightful mix-
ture of tones in the melody.

Also performed was Bach's
Prelude and Fugue in B minor
which seemed to be Johnson's
favorite piece in the first half of
the performance, judging from the
way his body seemed to assist as
he played each note. His feet also
played scales that seemed more
complicated than those played by
his hands. The audience was in

awe of his incredible coordination
between the three melodies, one
played by his feet and two sepa-
rate ones played by his hands.

The second half of the perfor-
mance was presented in Gaines
Chapel with the more modern
organ. The two pieces performed
were Sonata 5, op. 111 by Josef
Rheinberger and selections from
Views from the Oldest House by
Ned Rorem. Views from the
Oldest House was the most
incredible manuscript for the
organ I have ever heard. The
modern piece, written in 1981.
shows how the organ is truly the
first synthesizer. The selection
captured picturesque scenes
such as the sun rising on the
horizon, a bird singing with the joy
of life, and church mice having
their own mass after everyone
has left on a Sunday night. Each
section had incredible, stirring
movement. Dr. Johnson's talent,
well proven after his presentation
of such a wonderfully expressive
and highly demanding piece, is
an assurance that the music
department at ASC has found a
valuable new addition.

Russell Brings
the House Down

Political satirist Mark Russell.

by Rebecca Bradley

On Saturday night, September
20. at 8:15 p.m.. Mark Russell
bounded onto the the stage of
Gaines Chapel, immediately
arousing the entire audience with
humorous anecdotes about
Agnes Scott's campus with quips
such as "Where's the Hub?" As
the evening progressed. Mr.
Russell kept the audience in tears
as they laughed over Reagan, the
Carter Administration, religion,
and other topics for a wonderful
hour and a half.

Mr. Russell's energy and en-

thusiasm could make anyone
want to imitate his attempt to play
a ditty at the piano while simul-
taneously dancing a little jig. He
never let a moment pass without
a laugh close behind. The audi-
ence was thrilled with the perfor-
mance and applauded for an
encore. Russell politely "came
back from his car waiting back
stage" to entertain the audience
once more with his overview of
our beloved country. His hilarious
remarks and personal rendition of
the national anthem in the back-
ground took the audience from
sea to shining sea in incessant
laughter. Russell's entertainment
made for a most enjoyable evening

Studio Dance Launches Season

by Kimberly Baker

Studio Dance Theatre gave its
first concert of the year during the
Community Hour on Friday. Sep-
tember 19. As the audience
arrived, they were greeted by the
sounds of Barbara Streisand's
The Broadway Album on the
incredible sound system of
Gaines Chapel which set the
mood for the performance.

The first piece was 'The Gift"
by Meda Stamper which featured
Sharon Wallace. Anne-Marie Huff.
Beth Land, and Meda Stamper.
The dancers wore black leotards
and tights which were contrasted
by white blouses. The great
teamwork between the dancers
reflected the message of the
music lyrics: "Lean on me."

"Silent Persuasion" by Anne-
Marie Huff expresses the
camaraderie of Agnes Scott. Huff
says. "Choreographing is a
stimulating experience because it
allows me to continue trying to
figure myself out." The upbeat
piece featured Huff. Meda

Worldwide Travelogs Announces Decatur Schedule

Atlantan travelers afraid to
leave home this year can take
seven delightful trips without ever
buying a ticket. During Worldwide
Travelogs' 17th season, they can
settle back in an armchair at
Atlanta's Symphony Hall, Cobb
Civic Center, or Presser Hall at
Agnes Scott, and explore some of
the world's most beautiful places
on film.

These are not flickering home
movies; travelogs are 16 mm
films, projected on wide screens,
and produced by professional
cmematographers who narrate
them in person.

Here's the itinerary for Atlantans
who want to visit exciting faraway
places with Worldwide Travelogs
this year:

Bundle up for Alpine splendor
in October when Joe Adair brings
his documentary, Austria. From
the Vienna Woods to colorful cities
like Innsbruck and Salzburg,
Adair's camera catches it all.
Atlanta, Oct. 5, 2:30 p.m.;
Marietta, Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. and
Oct. 7 at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.;
Decatur, Oct. 13. 7:30 p.m.

November's show will attract
theater-goers, history buffs, and
travelers alike. Howard Meyers'
and Lucia Perrigo's production
Glories of the Mississippi is
called "travel theatre." The couple
appear in costume and introduce
the scenes of plantations and
showboats which they filmed
along a 200-mile stretch from
Natchez to New Orleans. In this
original story, written and orches-
trated by the filmmakers, nothing
about the Old South is left to the
imagination. Atlanta, Nov. 16, 2:30
p.m.; Marietta, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
and Nov. 4 at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.;
Decatur, Nov. 18, 7:30 p.m.

Filmmaker Robin Williams fol-
lowed the footsteps of the Apostle
Paul to capture the marvels of the
Roman Empire and the mystery
of the Ancient Greeks in his Greek
and Roman World of St. Paul
When he brings his film in De-
cember, you'll see National Geo-
graphic-quality footage of Asia
Minor, Greece, Turkey, and Italy,
and learn some Biblical history at
the same time. Atlanta, Nov. 30.
2:30 p.m.; Marietta, Dec. 1 at 7:30

SPORTS

Kickers Looking Good

by Julie Huffaker

Although the Agnes Scott Kick-
ers tied with the Strikers on
September 28th. two to two. the
team played a much better game
than they did the week before.
The coach said that they have
been practicing much more, and
had even gotten in an hour of
practice before the TGIF last
Friday. The coach said that
although he has worked out a
stretching routine for the team,
they haven't been organized
enough before games to be able
to do it every time. Consequently
he said that the number of pulled
muscles and cramps has in-
creased from last year, but de-
creased from the beginning of this
year. Coach Read said that the
team practices more this year,
and this may be one reason for
more injuries at the beginning of
the year; the players just weren't
used to the amount of heavy
running.

Coach Read was excited about
the number of people who
showed up to watch the game. He
thought having friends and people
there to watch the game really
made a big difference to the
players. He says. "They want to
look good for their friends . . . they
want their friends to watch them
win."

Coach Read himself wanted to
watch them win. He said. "I
wanted to win this game, badly,

so I kept my strongest players in."
Although Coach Read praised the
entire team for their efforts at the
game, he deliberately praised a
few people on the team whom he
felt really "wanted to win." Coach
Read even went so far as to
praise the center forward on the
other team. "She was good, but
our outstanding goal keepers
were better." he smiled, referring
to Sharon and Adele.

Other outstanding players were
Aimee Peeples, whom the coach
says is the "cog" of the team. The
coach said Sally and Jennifer
were good sweepers in the game,
and Karen King was "all over the
field trapping the ball left and
right." With her legs flying
everywhere, Karen managed to
snag the ball out of the air many
times.

Finally, with a huge smile Coach
Read said. "As always. Kathy
McKee played outstandingly! She
is always everywhere, setting up
plays, getting goals . . . stealing
the ball." Coach Read says that
Kathy is one of the best support-
ers of her fellow teammates. The
coach remarked that a few of the
other team members seem to
expect too much from their team-
mates and frequently yell at them
for not being where they should
be. The coach said that Kathy
continually gives helpful sugges-
tions and encouragement to the
players on the field. Affectionately
referred to as "Kamikaze Kathy"
by one of her teammates, she

Dolphin Club Tryouts

by Mary Ann Athens

Are you looking for a unique
sport combining strength, coordi-
nation, and grace? If so, then
Agnes Scott's synchronized swim-
ming team is for you. The Dolphin
Club will be holding a second
tryout session in the middle of
October for those who are inter-
ested. Kay Manuel, the team's
faculty advisor, encourages those
girls who are comfortable in the
water and who can perform the
basic swimming strokes to tryout.
The Dolphins are presently look-
ing for new members in addition
to freshmen Carol Gibbs and
Mary Ann Athens, who recently

joined the talented team. Help
sessions will be scheduled before
the actual tryout date in order to
acquaint potential members with
the basic stunts and strokes
involved with synchronized
swimming.

As a new member of the
Dolphin Club. I have found that
synchronized swimming is a very
relaxing yet challenging sport.
Unlike soccer or tennis, practices
are not time consuming or
exhausting. Instead, they are an
opportunity for one to become
familiar with various stunts. Dur-
ing practice sessions, the mem-
bers also swim laps to increase
endurance and upper body
strength. Everyone on the team
has an opportunity to assist in

gives the game everything she's
got. even when she's tired. It was
towards the end of the game when
the coach said. "I left her in even
at the end of the second half . . .
she was getting beaten up pretty
badly, but she is one of our
strongest players. She wants to
win."

Well they didn't win the game
against the Strikers; it was a tie.
However, the next day, on Monday
afternoon. Agnes Scott won
against La Grange college, 5 to
2! The first goal was scored by
Natalie Whitten in the opening
minutes of the game. The remain-
ing four goals, which brought the
Agnes Scott Kickers to victory,
were scored by Kathy McKee,
Mary Cole, Lisa Oliff, and
Eleanor Dill. Unfortunately,
Sharon Hargraves, goalie for the
Agnes Scott Kickers, was injured
when kicked in the head by a
member of the opposing team.
Besides this incident, the game
was a rewarding experience for
the Agnes Scott Kickers as it was
their first victory Congratulations
to the team!

Black Cat: From Frolics to Frocks

by Adlen Walker

Black Cat week started bright
and early. Very early. In an
unusual gesture of togetherness,
the senior class gathered at 3:15
Monday morning on the fourth
floor of Main. They tiptoed all over
campus, papering the doors of all
the underclassmen. At 6:00 a.m.,
an attempt was made to set off all
dorm fire alarms. Unfortunately,
only two of the five fire alarms
worked properly (how*s that for
protection?), but that amazing
and unusual class of '87. by
yelling., ringing, the .bell, and
pounding on doors, managed to
rouse the bleary eyed campus.
Dazed and confused, they were
directed to the quad where
donuts. orange juice, and loud
rock n 1 roll awaited them.

The freshmen's prank was next.
On Tuesday, the class of 1990
transformed the campus into
Woodscott, a conservative, mid-
dle-class, pseudo-hippy move-
ment. They wore peace signs,
which at first were mistakingly
modeled after the Mercedes
symbol. They had a sit-in in front
of the post office, which I have
been told is against the law.
Although a far cry from the
drugged out. free love days of
Woodstock, one must admit
Woodscott was original.

On Wednesday, the Juniors
hijacked the Dining Hall. They
held all silverware and glasses for
ransom. They did not want your
money they wanted to make a
fool of you. It worked. If you
wanted a glass, you had to sign
a petition saying the Junior class
should win the kitty. If you wanted
a fork, you had to act like a plane
and fly down a runway. The prank

was a huge success. It forced
everyone to participate and
everyone had a great time.

The sophomore prank did not
materialize until Thursday night at
the bonfire. Everyone had been
anxiously awaiting the arrival of
the Great Pumpkin. The Great
Pumpkin (alias Harry Wistrand)
made a flamboyant arrival in a
police car, giving the bonfire even
more fuel.

iiic juniors pui on a great
production on Friday night involv-
ing four freshmen on one side of
the stage, and on the other, the
same four at a reunion 10 years
later. The evening ended with the
Senior Class winning the Black
Kitty, the song, and the decora-
tions. The juniors won the prank.

The Black Cat Dance was held
at the famous Peachtree Plaza.
Approximately five hundred
people attended, and though
crowded, the ballroom was ac-
commodating. There is only one
word to describe the band
EXCEPTIONAL! Borneo, an At-
lanta based band, played a
continuous mixture of upbeat
tunes. They played a variety of
music from the Monkeys to the
Talking Heads. Although the
dance floor was large, it was
packed with energetic dancers all
evening.

As usual, the dominant color for
dresses was black. But there were
some unusual outfits to be seen.
Felicia Perrit wore a long, gold
dress which her mother wore
twenty years ago. Felicia's date
wore a matching gold cummer-
bund and bow-tie. Daphne Burt
wore a beautiful dress which
belonged to her grandmother.
Several students had on dressy
pants and some students wore
blue jeans! Anything is better than
a hoop skirt!

RTC Helps Refugees

by Heather Rogers

Mrs. Laura Nieto-Studstill, a
rising senior RTC, led the October
10 convocation in which she told
about her experience living and
working for two months at Jubilee
Partners a Christian community
in Athens, Georgia dedicated to
helping political refugees from El

Salvador and other countries
obtain legal residence in Canada.
Originally volunteering as a
Spanish translator, Laura found
herself immersed in a rewarding

ranged from gardening to office
work to taking care of the children
while their parents went to English
classes. Although the hours were
long and filled with hard work,

Johnson Plans Rape Crisis Center

by Debbie Strickland

Rape is one of the most serious
crimes one person can commit
against another. The victim is
often traumatized for years after
the event, and there are many
more victims than most people
realize. In fact, one out of every
seven women will be raped at
some point during her lifetime,
and one out of every four women
is sexualiy abused before she
reaches the age of eighteen. Yet.
despite the distressing statistics,
rape is a crime that receives very
little attention in our society. Myra
Johnson, an Agnes Scott senior
who is spearheading the effort to
establish the ASC Rape Crisis
Center, believes that the reason
for this lack of awareness is that
"rape is something which we
would all rather not think about.
Some of us would like to believe
that it only happens to certain
kinds of women or girls or only at
certain places." She cautions that
"these beliefs are false and
dangerous." for every woman
regardless of her attire, attitude,
or location is a potential target.

The main function of a rape crisis
center is to combat this lack of
awareness by disseminating infor-
mation about rape myths, such as
the victim "cannot do anything" to

'bring it on," and by educating
women about safety precautions.

Because rape affects so many
women, it is a crime that greatly
impacts our society as a whole.
For example, eighty-five percent
of the victims move within six
months after the crime has
occurred. Many of these victims
are college students, who, by
dropping out or transferring, are
jeopardizing their educations.
Victims also continue to harbor
very intense feelings of shock,
anger, and fear for a long time
after the commission of a raoe.

If a woman is raped, she should
immediately contact someone a
friend, a relative, the police, or a
rape crisis center. For many, a
rape crisis center is the best
choice, for they are staffed by
trained counselors who will help
the victim report the crime and
obtain medical and psychological
attention. In the metropolitan
Atlanta area, there are two rape
crisis centers, the YWCA Rape
Crisis Center in Cobb County and
the Grady Hospital Rape Crisis
Center in Fulton County. An
urgent need exists for a center in
DeKalb County, because DeKalb
victims currently are sent to the
Grady Center. Myra Johnson and
others believe that ASC is the
ideal DeKalb institution to open
because, according to Myra,
"we're a women's college, and
rape is definately a womens

issue." Myra has worked as a
counselor for two years and is
receiving help from Peggy Zigler,
the Director of the Grady RCC.
They hope to establish the center
before Christmas or early in the
spring semester. Myra wishes to
fund the center with donations
from various campus and commu-
nity organizations. She hopes that
it will be a "full-fledged" rape crisis
center, able to offer several
services including a 24-hour
hotline service at 371-6000 and
medical facilities, along with
medical and legal aid referral, and
counseling. Of course, the main
purpose is to increase awareness,
and to accomplish this task the
center will work to educate the
ASC and Decatur communities
about rape and safety

Before the center can begin
operating, it needs volunteer
counselors. No experience is
necessary. Training sessions will
be held before Christmas break.
Interested students should leave
a note in Myra Johnson's mailbox
(#254) or call her at ext. 594. Until
the ASC Rape Crisis Center
opens, victims should contact
either the Grady RCC at 659-
7273 or the YWCA RCC at 428-
2666. Both of these are open 24
hours a day. These centers are
helping women to grapple with
the dehumanizing violation of
rape and are bringing the topic to
the forefront of discussion.

Rape Issue Erupts at Faculty Tabletalk

Global Awareness
Director Shocks
Faculty

Dear Editor:

At Agnes Scott, as at any other
college or university, the officers
of the institution, more than
individual students or faculty,
represent the image and goals of
the college to the public at large.
For this reason, as well as for
personal reasons, we experi-
enced profound shock upon
hearing our colleague. Prof. John
Studstill. at this week's Faculty/
Staff Table Talk, question whether
rape is really rape, since, in his
opinion, force is sometimes natu-
ral in sex. We had all just listened
to a remarkable and able speaker
discuss attitudes, like those of
Studstill, that lead to the awful
level of violent sexual assault in
our society. How could the director
of the Colleges flagship Global
Awareness Program feel and
publicly express opinions diamet-
rically opposed to the personal
dignity of women? We know that
many, many men and women in
the proud history of this college
have striven hard against adver-
sity for the advancement of
women's dignity and the freedom
of women to live and move safely
in society. The discrepancy be-
tween Studstill s remarks and
what we perceive is the aim. the
history, and the image of Agnes
Scott College is truly shocking.
Sincerely yours.

Student Outrage

Dear Editor:

My name is Myra Johnson, and I
am a senior here at Agnes Scott.
I am writing because I am very
concerned about an attitude I saw
displayed at the Faculty Tabletalk
on Wednesday, October 14.

Let me preface my letter by
saying that rape is a subject I feel
we of the Agnes Scott community
have brushed under the rug for
too long. I am trying to establish
a rape information and crisis
center on campus now. and I am
very close to the subject. Upon
discussing the following incident
with other people. I realized that
I was not the only person upset
by what occurred, and I was urged
to write this letter. It is not my
intention to hurt anyone's feelings,
but I cannot sit back and allow a
person who is in a position of
authority on campus to think that
his attitudes do not affect the job
he does. Nor can I allow this same
person to think that his attitudes
do not affect the student body at
large. With that out. I shall begin.

The subject of the tabletalk was
rape and rape victims/survivors
Peg Zigler. Director of the Grady
Rape Crisis Center, told the group
about the problems that society,
and men in particular, has with

rape victims/survivors. Peg stated
that one of the problems with the
subject of rape is that people in
general are afraid to talk about it
and thus to understand it. She
spoke of the problems survivors
have because a woman who has
survived a rape will carry the
incident with her for the rest of her
life. It will affect her emotionally,
psychologically and physically. It
will affect her relationships with
other people, be they with men or
women. She also stated that it is
very difficult to explain to some-
one who has never been through
an incident such as rape the fear
and total loss of control to which
a victim is subjected. She said
that rape is the only crime in
which the victim is asked if she
had anything to do with her
attack in other words, the victim

>c \/irtimi7pH

Peg spoke for about twenty to
thirty minutes. She touched on
other points, but the above will
suffice for a capsulized version.
At the end of her presentation,
she opened the floor to questions
and comments from those in
attendance. I was the only student
present. There were approxi-
mately twenty people in attend-
ance besides myself, the rest
being faculty and staff.

Dr. John Studstill, Director of
the Global Awareness Program,
was one of the people in attend-
ance. Mr. Studstill has the respon-
sibility of arranging the programs
that send Agnes Scott students
around the world. As we all know.
Agnes Scott is a woman's college
whose supposed aim is to edu-
cate young, intelligent women. We
consider ourselves to be a pro-
gressive college, and our global
awareness program is sup-
posedly one of the areas in which
we display this progressiveness.

Mr. Studstill took advantage of
the question period. I do not
remember his exact words and,
therefore, will not be quoting him
directly. But, upon discussing the
incident with other people who
had been there, we all understood
him to mean the same thing.

Mr. Studstill asked Peg if there
were not instances where a grey
area existed as to whether the
woman "asked" for it. He also
implied that he had doubts as to
whether or not a little force wasn't
necessary at times. I realize these
are strong accusations, but I can
provide the names of faculty
members who were there and
who can back up my statements.

Peg. who has directed the
Grady Center for nine years, was
not noticeably ruffled. She re-
sponded by stating that the legal
definition of rape is "penetration
without consent and by force."' If
a woman has said no, she has
not given consent, and. therefore,
by the legal definition, any pene-
tration is by force.

It was difficult for me not to
lunge across the table and take
the man by the throat, but I
controlled myself. I addressed his
question after Peg I said that if
someone were to threaten his life,
he would probably resist at first.
But. should he be convinced that
his life were indeed in danger, he

would do what he needed to do
in order to save his life. There was
a murmuring around the room
and a general uncomfortability
with what he had said, but no one
else directly addressed his com-
ment. His response was that he
realized we could not talk about
this subject intellectually because
some of us were too emotional
about the subject.

I will grant Mr. Studstill a
concession on one point: yes.
some of us are emotional about
the subject. However, it is difficult
to discuss anything intellectually
with someone who has just
succeeded in displaying that he
has no intelligence. Not only did
he verbalize the fact that he is
ignorant of and insensitive to the
subject of rape, but he also
accused the rest of us of not being
able to discuss it in a rational
manner. His arrogant attitude was
that we were wrong because we
could become emotionally in-
volved in this issue.

As a woman, and a survivor, I
have the right to be upset and to
let the campus community know
that a man who has an obvious
lack of knowledge about the
things that women face every day
is in charge of sending us around
the world.

It is my hope that the adminis-
tration will consider this incident
and its implications. I also wel-
come any criticism or comments.
Thank you.

Respectfully submitted.
Myra Johnson.

Studstill Defends
his Statements

Dear Editor:

This morning (10-20-86) a stu-
dent friend walked into my office
and discussed with me how a
student and perhaps a faculty
member are planning to write a
letter to The Profile suggesting
that I have made inappropriate
remarks on the issue of rape dur-
ing a dtscussion at the Faculty
Table Talk last week. I hope that
my true opinions can be made
known through this letter before
anyone misinterprets them. I was
in 100% agreement with the
speaker, Peggy Zieglers point of
view that women have not only
been the victims of rape but are
often made to feel guilty for the

crime themselves. The only com-
ment that could have been inter-
preted otherwise, as far as I know,
was when I asked Peggy Ziegler
the question. "Are all cases of
rape just as straightforward as
you have implied, are there no
cases that are gray, where there
might be mitigating cir-
cumstances?" If this question
were taken to imply something
beyond just a serious attempt on
my part to understand the com-
plex dynamics of rape, then that
implication is false. I would be
happy to discuss the Table Talk
exchange with anyone, though no
one has yet come forward to ques-
tion me about it, and I have heard
about the letter second-hand. I
call upon anyone who would like
to know what was said at the
Table Talk to ask some of those
who were there: for example, Lee
Copple, Miriam Dunson, Malcolm
Peel, Rev Emmett Herndon, and
Peggy Ziegler, herself. These are
people I am sure were present.

I am concerned that my true
statements and my true opinions
be known and am upset that no
one has seen fit to come and talk
to me personally before making
personal attacks in the public
media. I believe that anyone who
knows me well will affirm my
staunch support of women's rights
and my strong belief that our
society needs to make a great
effort to control rape and protect
women better. In no way do I
question that women have been
victimized by our male-dominated
society, its police, its courts, and
by many other groups and indi-
viduals in and out of positions of
authority.
Sincerely,
John D. Studstill

Professor Objects
to Colleagues'
Letter

Dear Editor:

As one of the conveners of the
Faculty Tabletalks, I have a vested
interest in fair reporting of their
proceedings. Following the most
recent of these, a question was
asked by Professor John Studstill.

It was not until two days later,
when I was asked to be a co-
signer of a letter to The Profile
which would protest the implica-
tions of this question, that I had

any inkling that exception had
been taken to his remark.

I declined to sign the letter
because its content did not
correspond to my memory of the
incident. As an alternative. I
proposed that, in the spirit of
collegiality, his accusers confront
Mr. Studstill directly, indicate their
displeasure at his remark, and
request a clarification.

It is my understanding that they
did not seek this avenue of
reconciliation and that they have
chosen, rather, to 'go public' with
their accusations, without consult-
ing Mr. Studstill in any way. I regret
this deeply, and in common
fairness I am using this opportu-
nity to say that I did not hear Mr.
Studstill made the remark he is
alleged to have made.
Sincerely yours.

Murray Responds

to Criticism
of Health Center

Dear Editor:

I would like to respond to the
unidentified student who ad-
dressed two areas of concern in
relation to the Student Health
Center. First, students' needs for
privacy and confidentiality when
making appointments or request-
ing referall information are of
utmost importance to the Health
Center Staff. During our first
weeks in our new facility, the close
proximity of the appointment desk
to the student waiting area has
been an area of increasing con-
cern. To address this problem, we
have implemented a brief written
appointment format to insure that
conversations of a confidential
nature will not take place at the
appointment desk but rather be
directed to the office of the nurse
practitioners. We have requested
that a movable glass panel be
placed between the reception and
the appointment areas to further
enhance the privacy of the stu-
dent during personal or telephone
conversations while allowing the
secretary to obtain necessary
preliminary information.

Secondly, I would like to clarify
our long standing referral policy.

World Food Day Hits Home

by Dolly Purvis

During lunch on Wednesday,
October 15, the Chaplain's office
offered the Agnes Scott commu-
nity the opportunity to experience
a meal as the rest of the world
eats. Using a lot system, each
participant drew a colored ticket
out of a box to determine which
of three kinds of lunches he or she

would eat. The number of tickets
was appropriated for each meal
according to the proportion of the
world's population that eats that
kind of meal. Ten percent of the
participants received a sumptu-
ous meal indicative of the way 10
percent of the world's population
eats; 30 percent of the partici-
pants received an "adequate"
meal consisting of rice and three
tablespoons of lettuce; 60 percent

of the participants ate a "subsist-
ed" meal consisting of rice and
water the typical meal a starving
person would eat. The experiment
was heartily received campus-
wide with more than 150 partici-
pating. Heather Goodall, a con-
cerned sophomore, commented
after a meal of rice and water;
"Now I have a more realistic view
about how people who eat on the
subsistence level really exist."

LETTER, cont'd.

Students needing or requesting
referrals to private physicians are
given individual referral cards by
speciality or subspecialty listing
two to three possible physician
groups to choose from and in-
structed to make their own ap-
pointments although we are
available to assist them if we are
so requested. There are two
physician groups who have re-
quested that students be
evaluated in the Student Health
Center prior to their first visit to
that physician. Students are then
free to call or contact that physi-
cian for subsequent appointments
and/or information and follow-up.

It is always easier to deal with
student concerns when they are
brought directly to our attention
and we can work together to solve
problems. If written format is
preferred, we have placed a
"suggestion box" in the reception
room and encourage any of your
comments. Transitions are never
without their difficulties. The
Health Center needs your ideas
in order to provide the quality of
care students deserve and to
identify and resolve subsequent
difficulties. I believe this can best
be accomplished by meeting
together and working together,
and I encourage the unidentified
student to do just that.

Beginning this week in The
Profile is a column which will
provide the reader with a brief
look at some of the events in
national and world news. This
section is provided for the student
who does not read a daily paper.
As a bi-weekly newspaper, The
Profile must operate with a
considerable time lapse in the
publication process, which is
reflected in the delay in news
coverage. Nonetheless, it is
hoped that the column will prove
useful for a fair percentage of the
readership. Comments and sug-
gestions are always welcome.

President Reagan met with
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachov
in Reykjavik, Iceland on Oct. 11
seeking a solution to disarma-
ment issues. The talks concluded
unsuccessfully on Sunday after
Reagan refused to limit the
Strategic Defense Initiative, more
commonly known as "Star Wars",
to laboratory experimentation, as
the Soviets requested.

U.S. District Court Judge

Harry Claiborne was convicted by
the U.S. Senate on Oct. 9 on two
counts of tax evasion. He was
removed from his lifetime appoint-
ment and will be serving his two
year sentence at the federal
prison in Maxwell Air Force Base,
Alabama.

South Africa's United Demo-
cratic Front, the country s- largest
antt apartheid alhance-. was
declared by "President Botha to be
an "affected organization". This
move will effectively prevent the
organization from receiving any
foreign funding.

In Washington, the House

overwhelmingly approved a re-
vised drug bill which included a
provision allowing the death
penalty for drug-transaction re-
lated murders, but many Senators
have refused to approve the bill
until it is revised and the death
penalty provision is removed.

El Salvador was struck by an

earthquake on Oct. 9 that regis-
tered a 5.4 on the Richter scale
and was centered about 10 miles
north of San Salvador. The city
was nearly destroyed, and Presi-
dent Duarte announced Monday
that 976 people had been killed.

In Cape Canaveral, Florida the
space shuttle Atlantis was rolled
to the launch pad to begin seven
weeks of testing. The shuttle was
moved to the pad to check on the
$3.2 million worth of new equip-
ment on the pad designed to
protect the shuttle's external
thermal tiles from the elements
during launch.

Dr. Stanley Cohen, a

biochemist at Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, won the Nobel Prize in
medicine for his work with an
epidermal growth factor that could
prove valuable in cancer research.

Items compiled from The New
York Times and The Washington
Post by Kim Mitchell.

Laura felt rested and in good
spirits when she returned home.
She also "learned that we are
lucky people because we are
not politically persecuted or
suffering from hunger and torture."

Laura supplemented her dis-
cussion with a series of informa-
tive Canadian news broadcasts
about Central American refugees.
While Canada is steadily increas-
ing the number of refugees it
allows in, the United States' policy
has become more strict (fewer
than three percent of the Salva-
doran refugees who applied for
political asylum to the U.S. in
1984 were accepted). In a desper-
ate attempt to flee persecution,
an estimated one-half million
Central Americans have entered
the United States illegally. Some
are taken in by the churches and
synagogues who have become a
part of the sanctuary movement
which provides protection to
fleeing refugees. Ideally, the
refugees would apply for political
asylum to another country. To be
given political asylum in a foreign
country such as Canada. Sweden
or Australia (the only other coun-
tries who accept refugees), Cen-
tral Americans must prove that
their lives are in danger in their
native country. However, "there is

not space for" all applicants to be
accepted.

Jubilee members such as
Melinda Lee. who answered
questions at the convocation, help
screen refugees who have the
desire and qualifications to be a
political refugee in Canada. Often
volunteers will conduct interviews
at U.S. detention centers where
Central Americans who have
attempted to rnter the country
illegally are waiting to be de-
ported. Those refugees who are
accepted to go on to Canada live
at Jubilee if there is room, or they
will be supported by a host church
for two to three months until their
Canadian documents arrive. In
preparation for the drastically
different environment they will be
living in, the refugees are given
lectures as well as plenty of warm
clothing. Once in Canada, the
Central Americans attend English
classes and job training programs
for a year. They are then given a
several month grace period in
which to find a job. Although a few
refugees leave Canada after
finding the weather or the dis-
tance away from their families
unbearable, most of the hundreds
of refugees remain to live in a
country where persecution and
death are no longer daily threats.

On October 10, at 2:00 p.m.,
past and present members of the
Agnes Scott Community rededi-
cated Agnes Scott and Rebekah
Scott Halls. The rededication,
originally planned as a patio affair,
moved into the Rebekah Recep-
tion Room due to the rain.

President Schmidt began the
ceremony by thanking all those
involved with the renovation of
Main and Rebekah, and then she
turned the floor over to the guest
speakers.

Larry Gellerstedt. chair of the
Board of Trustees, spoke first. He
reminisced about the Agnes Scott
of his wife's college days. He
spoke nostalgically about riding
from Georgia Tech to ASC. "In
1942. you could ride the street car
from Georgia Tech to ASC for a
nickel." He also remarked on the
changes which have occurred at
ASC other than with the builaings.
Evidently, dating rituals have
evolved a bit since 1942!

Melanie Sherk, president of the
Student Government Association,
spoke about the new bell in Main

She said that the bell added a
community spirit that had been
missing at ASC. To mark the
occurrence of the rededication.
Shelly Wilkinson, great-great-
great granddaughter of Agnes
Scott, was asked to ring the new
bell. Melanie jokingly warned
Shelly of the hazards of ringing
the bell. Apparently, Melanie had
an "uplifting" experience, literally,
when she first attempted to ring
the new bell.

Board of Trustees member
Betty Scott Noble told three
anecdotes about Agnes. Rebekah.
and Louise Scott. The tales were
light-hearted glimpses into the
childhoods of Agnes Scott, the
mother of Col. George Scott,
founder of ASC; Rebekah Scott.
Col. Scott's wife who was quite
fond of dancing; and Louise Scott,
granddaughter of Col. Scott, who
was six years old when she
witnessed the initial dedication of
ASC.

After a dedicatory prayer, Pres-
ident Schmidt thanked everyone
for attending the ceremony, and
the group disbursed and went to
hear the ringing of the new bell.
Afterwards, guests had the oppor-
tunity to tour the two restored
buildings.

IflEAlIUIRIES

The Frat Scene Revisited

by Lisa Gugino

As freshmen, many Agnes
Scott students were whisked off
to Georgia Tech or Emory Frater-
nity parties to begin their college
social lives. For many, the Greek
scene was unappealing, yet. for
others, the Greek scene seemed
the only alternative to otherwise
lonely nights back in the dorm.
Offering companionship and so-
cial activities, the Greek scene
has largely become Agnes Scott's
main social avenue. Although
popular, the fraternities that are
frequented so regularly by A. S C.
students do have their problems.
When questioned about the disad-
vantages of the Greek life, stu-
dents readily responded with
several complaints.

Kim Cadora feels "there is too
much peer pressure to drink. "This
sentiment is a common one even
among students who enjoy drink-
ing occasionally; Mary Dean
Edwards said, "although I often
went to unwind, alcohol consump-
tion was always the main activity.
I hardly knew the guys when they
were,sober because most of the
time they weren't." The difficulty
of establishing meaningful re-
lationships in this type of environ-
ment is pretty evident, said one
student Kim Cadora also added

that this environment tends to
alienate and exclude people, thus
making the Greek scene limited.

The most frequent complaint'
about the fraternity system is its
cliquish nature. Often students
enjoy the sense of community
they feel with one fraternity, but
they regret the limitations it places
on them. Alison Mills expressed
her dissatisfaction about the
pressure that is placed on little
sisters not to associate with other
houses. "Once you become a little
sister, you become tied down."
Karen Youngner feels "it's too easy
to get associated with one house
and become stereotyped, which
makes meeting people at other
houses impossible." Genie Chilcut
enjoys her social life at a fraternity
but has recognized that the
fraternal system entails many
limiting qualities. "I think the
original ideals of the Greeks are
great, but somehow in practice
they don't work so well." said
Allison Mills.

Lastly, students complained
about the Catch 22 situation that
often results if one dates within
the same fraternity. Mary Dean
Edwards exclaimed, "if you date
a frat brother and break up. then
you lose all other options at that
house, or at least it makes it a lot
harder." When most of your dates
come from within one house, it
puts a lot of pressure on you to

alleviate any bad feelings that you
might have had with one of the
brothers, said one student.
Everyone watches the relation-
ship, and if something goes
wrong, the atmosphere can get
pretty hairy, oftentimes too much
to stay, remarked another student.

What do students do when the
disadvantages of the Greek
scene become too much 9 The
same students had a few sugges-
tions taken from their own experi-
ences. Kim Cadora said, "my
other social avenues are church
and other local college cam-
puses." Mary Dean Edwards
suggested attending a summer
study program at a school like
Emory. "I made lots of friends in
my summer program, and they
introduced me to their friends,
whom I still stay in touch with."
Genie Chilcut felt that it was
important to stay in contact with
old friends so she could take
breaks from the fraternity scene.
Allison Mills has confidence that
"nice guys can be met in local
bars and nightspots." The overall
opinion is that the Agnes Scott
student needn't be dependent on
fraternities if the disadvantages
become to much to bear. At Agnes
Scott, the assertive woman can
find alternative social avenues
with just a little bit of imagination
and investigation.

Politics at Agnes Scott

Young Democrats

by Lisa Gugino

The Agnes Scott chapter of
Young Democrats is off to a good
start this year with a four-fold
increase in membership. The
state and local elections have
spurred a widesweeping interest
in politics that is affecting the
Agnes Scott campus by promot-
ing increased participation and
involvement. One of the hottest
races of the year is the Senatorial
race between Democrat Wyche
Fowler and Republican Senator
Mack Mattingly. At the first meet-
ing. Sue Ramsey, a representa-
tive from the Fowler Headquar-
ters, spoke about the election and
the need for volunteers. Ms.
Ramsey spoke positively about
Fowler's hard won districts, which
were previously held by Sen.
Mattingly. She admitted that
Wyche Fowler's campaign coffer
isn't as large as Mattingly's, but
she stressed the strength of his
support. The other local races
which were discussed were the
John Lewis/Julian Bond race and
the Ben Jones Pat Swindell race.
All the Democratic candidates
continue to recruit volunteers for
their phone banks, so interested
students are never at a loss for
political volunteer work.

The second meeting of Younq
Democrats was also co-sponso 1

cuul

by College Republicans for the
purpose of educating the member-
ships of both on the topic of
Nicaragua. John Studstill. Chair
of the Global Studies Program,
showed slides of Nicaragua which
he had taken while visiting the
country with a group of clergy last
summer. He accompanied his
slide presentation with a discus-
sion on the political and social
environment, which he feels is
often inaccurately portrayed by
the United States media. Young
Democrats will continue to host
additional forums on topics of
political importance, as well as
continuing its involvement in local
and state elections. If you desire
to get involved call one of the YD.
officers. They are Lisa Gugino-
President. Julie McConnell-Vice-
President. Sam McCMntock-
Secretary, and Angie Howard-
Treasurer.

Young Republicans

by Patricia Roy

This year's Young Republicans
are excited about the upcoming
events. The newly elected officers
are Patricia Roy. president; Skotti
Rae, vice president; and Laurie
Adams, secretary/treasurer. The
clubs first project was recruiting
Senator Mattingly's supporters
and getting students registered
so they will be able to participate
in the November elections. At the
first meeting, a local politician
came to the campus and dis-
cussed his campaign strategies.
Because of the current political
elections, there are many political
activities taking place in Atlanta,
such as the Senator Mattingly
rally at which President Reagan
was a guest speaker. More politi-
cians are being scheduled to
speak on campus and a Young
Republicans registration table will
be set up in the dining hall to
recruit new members. A party is
being planned in conjunction with
two other statewide Young Repub-
licans to celebrate their hard work
on the political campaigns.

Young Republicans, contact

Hitting the Road

by Sarah Napier

Was your fall break at home
with the folks not quite as adven-
ture-filled as you had hoped 9
When asked the famous ques-
tion. "hey, what did you do this
weekend?", do you have to strug-
gle to recall what, if anything, you
spent your weekend doing? Do
your weeks blur together and
does it always seem to be Monday
morning? Do you feel the need to
just get away for awhile 9 Put down
your books for a minute, grab a
diet coke and imagine, if you could
go anywhere you wanted to this
weekend, where would you go 9
Here are the responses of some
other ASC students to get your
imagination rolling.

"Off campus' I wouldn't care
where!"

"I would go to Athens because
of the taco stand, the thrift shops,
and because it just seems to be
a nice, laid-back, restful place."

"I would go to New York City

because I've never been there."

"I would not go to India!"

"I would go anywhere warm,
sunny, and beautiful!"

"I would go back to 1970 when
I was three years old."

"I would go home and be a
ghost."

"I would go somewhere where
I could do nothing but lie in the
sun all weekend!"

If your looking for a more
realistic idea for a weekend
getaway check out Atlanta
Magazine's "Great Journeys
through Georgia", a special sup-
plement to the January, 1986
issue. This guide to travel in
Georgia offers information on
state parks, hotels, restaurants
and attractions throughout the
state and includes prices and
even a map to help get your trip
on the road. Getting away for the
weekend can be a refreshing
break from those hectic Saturday
nights out on the town and those
dreary Sundays in the library So
take advantage of the beautiful
fall weather and hit the road!

Focus on Japan

Editorial:

ETC Promotes Global Awareness

by Angela Howard

In the last few years, Japan has
become a center of attention for
the United States. The efficiency
and community of its businesses,
as well as the more interesting
cultural differences, have been
emphasized by the many "spe-
cial" reports one finds on late
night television. College students
in Japan, however, are not that
much different than college stu-
dents in the United States, al-
though certain aspects of their
lives differ from ours, as I discov-
ered while talking to Hiromi
Wazawa about her homeland.
Hiromi is one our international
students this year.

Hiromi attended an all women's
junior college in Japan before
coming to Agnes Scott. In order
to attend this college located in
Tokyo, she had to pass an en-
trance examination which tested
her knowledge of Japanese and
English. Other four year institu-
tions in Japan also require an
examination, but on a total of
seven subjects. Most high school
students do not pass these
entrance exams, but they can be
retaken. The exams are difficult

because of the limited number
of places for students in the
universities.

Once in the university, however,
students feel less pressured.
Hiromi said that she stayed busy
at her school because it was a
two-year institution, but four-year
college students have time to go
to discos and parties. They do not
write as many papers as we do!
Hiromi believes that most stu-
dents are happy with their lives.

One big difference in the lives
of Japanese students is that most
of them live at home and attend
school. Unless they are from the
country, they do not live in
dormitories or apartments, which
are quite expensive in Japan.
Hiromi traveled for four hours
each day to get from her home
outside Tokyo to her school in the
city and back again.

Despite these differences in
lifestyles, Japanese college stu-
dents, like Hiromi, would probably
find it easy to adapt to life at
American colleges. Hiromi enjoys
being here at Agnes Scott, and
she encourages Americans to
meet Japanese people, to learn
more about her country and
increase the good relations be-
tween the two nations.

The Global Awareness program
has plans for six academic trips
in 1986-87. Groups of students
from Agnes Scott will be studying
history and literature in England,
anthropology and political science
in Burkina Faso, biology and
anthropology in the Galapagos
Islands, economic development
in Taiwan, and literature and
culture in Spain. Dr. Studstill,
director of the Global Awareness
Program, says, "There is a great
deal of interest in the programs
that are coming up."

Although Agnes Scott students
are involved in activities in other
countries, many students are
missing opportunities for new
experience and awareness be-
cause of non-participation in on-
campus activities. Only two new
students came to an orientation
program for Global Awareness.
On October 1st, a sound a slide
show was held in Gaines Au-
ditorium to promote Global Aware-

faculty, attended. On Oct. 7th. a

Perhaps there is a misun-

think that they have no need for
global awareness unless they
plan to travel to a foreign country.

Future Global Treks

Currently, possibilities for six
Global Awareness trips are being
explored.

Burkina Faso: African
Ethnography and French

Two courses, one in the cultural
anthropology of West Africa, and
Burkina Faso in particular, includ-
ing field trips to urban an rural
settings; the second in French or
in political science at a level to be
determined. Lecturers from the
University of Oagadougou will
assist. Lodging in the capital city
of Oagadougou.

Ecuador and Galapagos:
Evolutionary Biology and the
Anthropology of the Incas

Two three hour courses, one in
biology centered on the unusual
flora and fauna of the Galapagos
islands, the second on the an-
thropological and archaeological
wonders of Ecuador and Peru,
particularly during the period of

the Inca empire. This program is
in association with the Catholic
University of Ecuador.

Taiwan: Theories of Eco-
nomic Growth/Economic De-
velopment in the Republic of
China.

Two courses, one in the major
theories of economic develop-
ment, especially as applied to the
Republic of China and the Third
World; the second concerning the
specific economic policy in the
Republic of China, income distri-
bution, and industrialization in
modern Taiwan. Professors of the
economics and chemistry depart-
ments are designing these
courses. One is a native speaker
of Chinese.

Greece: The Greek Setting of
the Socratic Dialogues

A three hour course will be
taught by the chair of the
Philosophy department. Center-

ing on Socrates as presented by
Plato, the program will integrate
visits to museums and chief
archaeological sites of classical
Greece.

England: History and Litera-
ture of the Renaissance

These two courses, one in
history, one in literature, will be
taught so as to harmonize with
visits to key historical, artistic and
geographical landmarks which
bring to life the context of English
literary classics and historical
events.

There is also a possible trip to
Spain which would include two
three hour classes in the lan-
guage and culture of Spain.

If you would like additional
information about these trips
please contact John Studstill, at
extension 212, or visit the Re-
source Center on the first floor of
Buttrick.

However, the Global Awareness
Program was not designed to sell
trips abroad nor to furnish easy
credit hours. It is a program to
make us aware that we do not live
in a vacuum.

I believe that a liberal arts
degree carries inherent respon-
sibilities. It is my duty to be aware
of the world around me. In 1986,
with the speed of communication
and transportation, my world is
not limited to home, school, state
and country. The intention of
being a specialist, a historian,
artist or physician should not limit
us to our immediate goals. People
often say, "I'm only one person.
My vote doesn't count. What I
think doesn't matter." Those
statements are the myths of
repression. Martin Luther King
was a minister with a dream.
Mahatma Ghandi was an attor-
ney. Marie Curie was a scientist.
They were all just people but they
dared to care, to realize what was
going on in the world around them
and to take the risks to change
things. O.K., so at this moment,
striving toward my own speciality,
I don't feel particularly inspired. It
doesn't matter. If I know what is
going on around me, when the
times comes perhaps I will have
a solution, maybe I can make a
contribution. Even now I can
share my awareness with other
people.

The Global Awareness Pro-
gram offers a unique approach to
global involvement. There are

ongoing activities on campus and
opportunities for first hand experi-
ences. Agnes Scott offers sub-
stantial scholarships for students
who are interested in learning
about the world. Self-enlighten-
ment also comes with knowledge
of the world. Some of the students
who traveled to other countries
last summer are still trying to
decide just how they feel about
their experiences. After studying
in India, I had to look at my
personal stand on abortion rights
when I saw abortion being used
as a tool for female genocide.
Dana Keller says. "It was an ego-
shattering experience for me in
Germany, not to be able to do
what I do best, which is to express
myself." About her visit in Mexico,
Charna Hollingsworth says, "A lot
of Americans get the idea that
Mexicans should have a revolu-
tion because their government is
lying to them." She said, "The
Mexicans know that their govern-
ment is lying to them but they will
not have a revolution until the
masses are starving." Her studies
in Mexico allow her to see the
Mexican dilemma more realisti-
cally rather than judging things by
American standards.

Some people define responsi-
bility as taking care of themselves.
I contend that responsibility is
more than that. It is the ability to
respond to things around us.
Michael Jackson and Lionel
Ritchie sum it up when they sing,
It's true we make a brighter day,
just you and me."

The Atlanta Ballet performs Coppelia.

The Atlanta Ballet Hosts ASC

The sophomore class cordially
invites the college to "Agnes Scott
Night at the Atlanta Ballet.'" On
November 8. the Atlanta Ballet
performs Coppelia and has de-
clared it a special evening to
honor Agnes Scott.

Coppelia is one of the great
story ballets as well as a great
comedy. Audiences will be
charmed by the 18th century love
story of a beautiful young couple,
Franz and Swanilda, whose love
and devotion are revealed through
the foils of a life-like doll, Coppelia.
and her magical creator, Dr.
Coppelius.

Coppelia takes place in a small
town in central Europe several

hundred years ago.

In the first act. audiences meet
Dr. Coppelius, who is said to
dabble in alchemy and magic. In
the upstairs window of his house
sits Coppelia, a life-like doll with
a book in her hands. Also intro-
duced are Swanilda. the exuber-
ant heroine and Franz, her
sweetheart.

The tale unfolds as both young
people mistakenly believe the doll
to be an aloof young maiden.
Swanilda suspects (with good
reason) that Franz is flirting with
Coppelia. and thus the fun and
romance begin.

The second act takes place

in the large workshop of Dr.
Coppelius. Life-size dolls come to
life, when Swanilda and her
friends sneak in and wind up the
magical toys. What follows are
fairy tale twists of plot, with Franz
drinking a magical potion; the
toymaker trying to bring his
beloved Coppelia to life; and,
predictably, a happy ending.

Tickets are $6.00 and $10.00
and may be purchased October
27 to 31 in the dining hall. Bring
a date and/or your family and join
us at the Civic Center November
8 at 8:00 p.m. We plan to make
this a night to remember for Agnes
Scott.

Pianist John Browning
Stuns Kirk Audience

by Rebecca Bradley

Agnes Scott was delighted to
have world acclaimed pianist
John Browning on October 14 at
8:15 p.m. in Presser Hall. Mr.
Browning often performs with
major symphony orchestras such
as the New York Philharmonic,
the Philadelphia Orchestra, the
Los Angeles Philharmonic, as
well as others in North America.
Internationally. Mr. Browning has
toured the Soviet Union, Japan.
Africa. South America, and all of
the major music centers of
Europe.

The evening's performance
included three pieces. The open-
ing Sonata No. 12 in F major, K.
32 by Mozart stressed intricate
accent patterns in the first move-
ment. The Adagio that followed
expressed extreme control from
Mr. Browning and proceeded with
an incredibly fast Allegro Assai.
The Coda was definitely Mozart
with its playful slowing decelera-
tion to a near stop only to take off
once more for a Mozart-style
finish. Mr. Browning could not

have interpreted the piece more
accurately.

Beethoven's Sonata No. 31 in
A flat major. Op. 110 followed with
a more serious depth. The notes
were each played sensitively and
with full body. The Adagio espe-
cially conveyed extreme sincerity
of deep expressions. The Fuga:
Allegro, ma non troppo closed
with full body.

The final piece, Sonata No. 2
in B flat minor, Op. 36 by
Rachmaninoff powerfully made
an impact on the audience. The
whole piece seemed to paint a
philosophical program of a scene
in Rachmaninoff's life. Mr. Brown-
ing performed the piece with great
accuracy in highly intense mo-
ments and abrupt changes to soft,
romantic moments. The final
notes left the audience stunned.

This fantastic artist did not leave
his admirers without an encore.
He chose Chopin's Nocturne in D
major. Needless to say, his per-
formance was intense.

This Kirk Concert event treated
the audience to a stupendous
performance by one of the world's
greatest pianists of our time.

Blackfriars' Crimes of
the Heart Runs in Dana

by Meg Bryant
and Jeanine Dwinell

The Blackfriars' production of
Crimes of the Heart opened
Thursday night. The halls of Dana
resounded with the uproarious
laughter of the packed house. (All
of you were there. I'm sure.)
Actually, this is just a hopeful
projection since we are writing
this article two weeks in advance
of opening night. We're pretty
certain about the uproarious
laughter part, but the packed
house is questionable. We are
sorry to admit that last year we
were disappointed in the size of
the houses for both of our major
productions. We are hoping that
we will be able to reverse this
trend with our opening production
of Beth Henley's wildly successful,
Pulitzer prize-winning Crimes of

the Heart. The play enjoyed a
successful run on Broadway and
is now being made into a major
motion picture starring Sissy
Spacek. Jessica Lange. Diane
Keaton. and Tess Harper. It is
scheduled to come out sometime
this fall after we close.

The Blackfriars have been
working hard this semester both
in rehearsal and behind the
scenes. Tasks involved in mount-
ing a production of this size and
caliber include finding costumes,
rounding up props (like gas stoves
and saxophones), running the
lights, building the scenery, and
planning the sound effects. We
also have people running the box
office, ushering, and supervising
publicity, not to mention several
other tasks. All in all. we have
' more than thirty students involved
in Crimes of the Heart besides
three dedicated faculty members
and two experienced male actors.

Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town Comes to The Alliance

ll to r) Native Georgian Kevin Black and New Norker Nanc> Hume appear as
the small-town sweethearts, George (;ibbs and Emih Webb, as Atlantan Tom
ke\ (of Cotton Ratdi Gospel fame) plays the role of the sta^e manager in Our
Town. This heartwarming play, a theatre classic for almost 50 years, is a drama
of the dail\ affairs of lo\e. marriage, and death.

Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer
Prize-winning Our Town opened
on the Alliance Mainstage
Wednesday, October 22. Like the
first Alliance Theatre presenta-
tion, The Gospel at Colonus, this
classic American play is a celebra-
tion of the dignity of the human
struggle.

David Kerry Heefner, formerly
producing director of New York's
Hudson Guild Theatre, directs
Own Town. This production
marks the first time in eleven
years that Heefner has directed
outside of New York. "Our Town,"

says Heefner, "is a wonderful
representation of American val-
ues: family, home, kindness,
thoughtfulness, community, shar-
ing .. . things that people would
basically like to see the world live
by. I have wanted to direct this
show for an extremely long time."

On a nearly bare set, the play
opens as the Stage Manager
casually walks on stage, addresses
the audience, and takes them on
a friendly and relaxed tour of the
small fictional New Hampshire
town of Grover's Corners. The
year is 1901. The plot is simple:

George Gibbs. son of the town
doctor, and Emily Webb, the
brightest girl in her high school
class and daughter of the local
newspaper editor, fall in love. The
two sweethearts marry, and a few
years later, Emily dies in
childbirth. She pleads to return to
life, is given one day to relive, and
then willingly goes back to the
realm of the dead.

Our Town is a drama of the
daily affairs of love, marriage, and
death. Its warmth and compas-
sion has won it a prominent place
among the classics of American
theatre, making it perhaps the
most produced American play. In
addition to numerous revivals of
the play, there have been a movie
version and two television versions.

Written by Thornton Wilder in
1937 and first produced in 1938.
Our Town brought its author a
Pulitzer Prize and more attention
and income than anything else he
would write. Following the open-
ing of Our Town New York Times
critic Brooks Atkinson praised,
"This is less the portrait of a town
than the sublimation of the com-
mon place; and in contrast with
the universe that silently swims
around it, it is brimming with
compassion; Grover's Corner is a
green corner of the universe. 'Our
Town' is a microcosm. It is also a
hauntingly beautiful play."

Atlantan lorn Key has been cast
as the Stage Manager. Key is
nationally known for his Off-
Broadway musical hit Cotton
Patch Gospel, which he con-
ceived, co-authored and starred
in at the Lamb's Theater in New
York, the Westwood Playhouse in
Los Angeles and in its record-
breaking engagements at the
Alliance Studio Theatre and the
Dallas Theater Center. For his
work in Cotton Patch Gospel Key
was awarded the 1981 and 1985
Dramalogue Awards for outstand-
ing achievement in theater and in

1985 was nominated for Best
Actor by the Los Angeles Drama
Critics' Circle. He has also toured
nationally with his one-man perfor-
mances of C.S. Lewis On Stage
and The Revelation of John which
was held over in the Alliance
Studio this summer.

In the roles of the two
sweethearts. George Gibbs and
Emily Webb, are Kevin Black and
Nancy Hume. Black has recently
returned to his native Georgia
from New York, where he last
appeared in Joseph Papp's
Shakespeare In The Park produc-
tion of Twelfth Night. His local
theatre credits include Hot L
Baltimore at Onstage Atlanta and
Holy Ghosts at Theatrical Outfit.
Hume is a graduate of Yale
University and recently appeared
as Ophelia in Zoe Caldwell's
production of Hamlet at the
American Shakespeare Festival.
She has also performed at the
Williamstown Theatre Festival
and at New York's New Federal
Theatre.

In the roles of Emily's parents
are Page Johnson and Beth
Fowler. Johnson has just com-
pleted his 1000th performance in
the national tour of Best Little
Whorehouse in Texas, and his
Broadway credits include Equus,
You Can 't Take It With You, Camino
Real, and Romeo and Juliet. Off-
Broadway, Johnson appeared in
Sam Shepard's Fool for Love, as
well as in Boys In The Band and
The Enchanted. Fowler last ap-
peared in Atlanta as Mrs. Darling
in Peter Pan with Sandy Duncan.
She played that role on Broadway,
as well as Arlene in Baby, Mrs.
Segstrom in A Little Night Music,
and Aunt Lily in the revival of Take
Me Along.

Kurt Knudsen and Dorothy
Lancaster appear as Dr. and Mrs.
Gibbs. Knudson was nominated
for a Tony for his performance as
Sid in the Broadway musical Take
Me Along. He also appeared

opposite Faye Dunaway in the
Broadway play Curse of an Ach-
ing Heart, on Broadway in the
Pulitzer Prize-winning musical
Sunday in the Park with George,
and with Alan Arkin in the recent
revival of Room Service. In
addition to Lancaster's Off-
Broadway performances in The
Penultimate Problem of Sherlock
Holmes, The Admirable Cnchton.
Who's Happy Now? and The
Diary of Anne Frank, she has
appeared with such regional
theatres as Seattle Repertory.
The Berkshire Theatre Festival.
Cincinnati Playhouse In The Park,
and The Denver Center Theatre
Company.

Appearing as Constable Warren

who was last seen at the Alliance
as the Rev. Chasuble in The
Importance of Being Earnest. Pat
Hurley, in the role of Simon
Stimson. most recently appeared

The Score Crow Opens at Academy

The Academy Theatre opens
its mainstage season with the
romantic thriller The Scarecrow,
written by Percy McKaye and
directed by Atlanta's own Levi Lee.
Mirrors shrink and scarecrows
come alive in this vivid tale of
witchcraft, black magic, love and
revenge set in the witch-hunting
days of colonial Massachusetts.
The Scarecrow opens on
October 22 and runs through
November 15. Performances are
at 8:00 p.m. Wednesdays through
Saturdavs. with 3 p.m. Sundav
matinees on November 2 and 9.

Says Director Levi Lee: "The
Scarecrow is an atmospheric
play. It's creepy and comical;
disturbing, visually beautiful and
never predictable. It's moving,
funny, poetic and terrifying. The
Scarecrow will keep audiences
off their guard and on their toes.
It's full of the mirrors-and-smoke
brand of special effects, but
ultimately, it's a serious play about
good and evil. In The Scarecrow,
evil exists as an actual entity, as

a powerful undercurrent beneath
the veneer of sedate seventeenth
century puritan society."

The Scarecrow is the witty, but
unsettling tale of thwarted
revenge, set in motion when a
jilted woman blacksmith fashions
a bizarre scarecrow and the devil
gives it life. Based on the short
story "Feathertop" by Nathaniel
Hawthorne. The Scarecrow
premiered in Middletown,
Connecticut, in 1910.

Underscoring the suppressed
evil quality in The Scarecrow will
be eerie incidental music by the
Academy's Music Director Phillip
DePoy. Costumes and sets will be
expressionistic in style, with
costume design by Anita Beaty
and set design by visual artist
Steve Seaberg. Says Seaberg,
"Even the set will come alive and
play an active role, like a character
in the drama."

In the role of the scarecrow,
alias Lord Ravensbane, is
company veteran Chris Kayser.
Kathleen McManus appears in

the non-traditional role of the
woman blacksmith, Goody
Rickby. Richard Wesp plays
Dickon, the devil incarnate.
Stefano Maggadino is the
hypocritical Justice Merton. Mary
Jo Ammon is Rachel, his innocent
niece. Bill Johns plays Rachel's
longsuffering fiance Richard; and
Ruth Reid plays Mistress Merton,
the Justice's sister.

Tickets for The Scarecrow may
be purchased at the box office,
located at Peachtree and 13th
Streets, one block south of Colony
Square. Box office hours are:.
Tuesday - Saturday: 11 a.m. - 5
p.m., performance nights until 9
p.m. and Matinee Sundays from
1 - 5 p.m. To order by phone, call
892-0880. Prices range from
$8.50 to $15.50 for single tickets,
and $31 to $92 for season
subscriptions. Special discounts
are available for students, senior
citizens and groups. For
information on rates for groups of
10 or more, call Reid Swanson at
873-2518.

an enthusiastic audience of stu-
dents. After winning two out of
three matches, the senior -
sophomore team was victorious.
Agnes Scott's College Bowl team
travels throughout the Southeast
to compete against schools in
Florida. Alabama, and Tennes-
see. Interested students are

Smells a Bit Fishy':

?

by Kim Mitchell

Tragedy struck the Agnes Scott
campus this recent Black Cat
weekend while students went
about their business, blithely
unaware. The majority of the fish
in the Alumnae pond were found
dead on Saturday due to curious
circumstances. The explanation
appears to be that all of the water
in the pond mysteriously disap-
peared Friday night.

Public Safety Officer Amy
Lanier was the first to notice the
strange disappearance. She in-
forms us that "Friday evening,
before the production. I went by
the pond and noticed that there
was not very much water in it. I
went closer and saw that most of
the fish were huddled in one
corner in only about three inches
of water."' At this point. Officer
Lanier attempted to save the
remaining fish by relocating them
into the one remaining corner with
water. Unfortunately, her efforts
were in vain because by Saturday,
all of the fish in the pond were
dead. At this point, the pond was

emptied and the dead fish re-
moved.

Fortunately, an unidentified,
concerned, individual discovered
that some of the smaller fish had
survived the catastrophe by swim-
ming down the drain. These fish
were recovered and at this time
are temporarily residing in a
bucket located on the steps of the
Alumnae House.

But how did the water disap-
pear in the first place 9 Officer
Lanier has a theory. She
explained that in one corner of the
pond is a drain resembling a
flattened shower head. This drain
stands at approximately three feet
and maintains a steady water
level in the pond. Were this drain
to be knocked over, the pond
could possibly be completely
emptied. This is apparently the
accepted hypothesis concerning
the incident, but a mystery still
remains. How did the drain get
knocked over 9 According to Of-
ficer Lanier, "accident or foul
play we just arent sure at this
time." And unless more evidence
is found or a confession submit-
ted, the truth my never be known.

Many students were disturbed
by the news of this incident and
everyone seems to have an
opinion on who actually pulled the
plug. When asked how the disap-
pearance of the water and
consequently, the fish - affected
her life. Liliana Perez (senior)
remarked that "I won't be eating
fish in the dining hall for quite
some time."

Academic Planning. Dr. Harry
Wistrand. Chair of the Curriculum
Committee, says that the purpose
of the changes being made to
Agnes Scott's curriculum is to
enhance the colleges quality and
distinction. "We want to maintain

our position as the premier
women's college in the South and
our reputation as one of the best
in the country." Dean Ellen Hall
commented that the goal of the
committee is to "provide the very
best educational program for our
students. This is the most impor-
tant thing."

Until recently, several years had
passed since the college's
academic program had been
critically reviewed. Dr. Wistrand
believes that it is time for some
serious changes to the academic

structure of the college. "The
Centennial Campaign was a
major impetus for the academic
planning program." he said. Dr.
Wistrand acknowledged that a lot
of hard work will be required over
the next few years to enact the
new academic plans, but his
enthusiasm about the benefits
that will result is evident. He adds.
"We won't compromise on quality."

The work to improve the struc-
ture of the college began this, year
with the switch to the semester
system. Academic and de-

Class of '90 Chose Reps

by Teresa Ramirez

On Monday October 20. the
freshman class held elections for
their 1986-87 representatives to
the various councils and associa-
tions of Agnes Scott. Melissa
Marino. Katie Patillo and Tracie

Lynn Chapski now serve the
freshman class as president, vice-
president, and secretary-treasurer,
respectively.

A list of the freshmen who were
running for various offices was
displayed in the post office several
days prior to the elections. During
Monday's convocation hour, the
class of 1990 met in McClain

Auditorium and voted. As the day
wore on. the freshmen anxiously
awaited the results which Were to
be revealed at 10 p.m.

That evening in Rebekah Re-
ception Room, the sophomore
class threw a party for the
freshman class, after which the
winners of the freshmen class
elections were revealed.

Oktoberquest Attracts Perspectives

by Ginger Patton

On Thursday and Friday. Octo-
ber 23 and 24. the Agnes Scott
community was busier than usual
with activity due to the events of
Oktoberquest weekend. Oktober-
quest is a two-day visitation
program which enables interested
high school students to experi-
ence life at ASC. By offering this
program. ASC can show perspec-
tive students how the college
really operates.

With a hectic two days before
them, the "perspectives" began
arriving on Thursday afternoon.
Registration ended at 2:30 p.m..
and from there it was on to an
Oktoberquest orientation: After-
wards, they attended a presenta-

tion entitled. "Everything You Ever
Wanted to Know about ASC."
Following the presentation, they
attended a faculty forum. The first
night of Oktoberquest was capped-
off with the ASC Blackfriar's
presentation of Crimes of the
Heart

On Friday, many perspectives
got up bright and early so they
could visit classes. The perspec-
tives, who stayed with students
on campus, were able to experi-
ence dorm life and dorm showers
in all their glory. Many ASC
students graciously offered their
beds to the perspectives, while
the students themselves spent
the night on floors or lobby
couches.

After class visitation, the per-
spectives were invited to attend

Community Hour. From there the
perspectives, along with some of
their parents, attended another
presentation concerning the qual-
ities of a liberal arts education.
The perspectives had a luncheon
followed by sessions with the
Offices of Admissions. Financial
Aid and Career Planning. Follow-
ing their various meetings, the
perspectives were encouraged to
tour the entire campus.

With approximately 110 stu-
dents attending this year's Ok-
toberquest. it was quite a suc-
cess. When asked how her guest
perspective student responded to
the ASC experience. Heather
Rogers said. "She loved the
school, and if she can work it out
financially, she will be here next
year."

partmental changes will occur
slowly at first, but will gradually
increase over the next several
years of the colleges future. For
the remainder of this year, faculty
will continue to create new ideas
for proposals and set priorities to
existing ones. In the spring of
1987. the faculty will submit its
academic planning program to the
Centennial Campaign Committee
which will then decide which of
the proposals to fund.

The task force on academic
planning includes the members of
the curriculum committee as well
as other faculty and students
Sophomore Alisa Duffey
petitioned last year for a position
on the curriculum committee
because, "with the changes in-
volved in switching from the
quarter to the semester system. I
thought it would be vital to know
first hand what the faculty's plans
were for our curriculum." Alisa
also commented on the purpose
of the changes being made in the
curriculum: "Our basic goal is to
earmark Agnes Scott as some-
thing special."

Dr. Wistrand wishes to em-
phasize that anyone student,
staff or faculty who has any
ideas regarding the changes in
Agnes Scotfs curriculum is wel-
come to share them with a
committee member or even join
the Curriculum Committee itself.
Members of the Curriculum Com-
mittee Task Force on Academic
Planning are Gail Cabisius.
Marylin Darling. Eloise Herbert.
Linda Hubert. Bob Leslie. Kay
Manuel. Dudley Sanders. Harry
Wistrand. Mary K. Jarboe. Ellen
Hall. Ruth Schmidt. Terry
McGehee. Becky Prophet.
Richard Parry. Mack Peel, and
John Studstill: the student repre-
sentatives involved are Joan
Wadkins. Amy Gottsche. and
Alisa Duffey.

The following is a summary of
the proposed changes to the
curriculum as of October 8. 1986
Only certain proposals have been
highlighted to give a general idea
of the academic plan. A complete
documentation of the proposals

for academic planning is on
reserve in the librarv.
Cross Disciplinary Programs

(involving two or more depart-
ments): Suggestions have been
made for an ancient studies
program involving the Classics.
Religion. Philosophy and Art
departments; a more in-depth
women's studies program with the
possibile addition of a women's
studies major: and a film program
including courses in film history,
criticism and techniques A Latin
American studies program which
would utilize the language and
Political Science departments is
also being considered, as are
programs in minority languages
and linguistics.

Technology in the Academic
Program: Suggested is the inte-
gration of computer science in the
liberal arts curriculum: the expan-
sion of audio-visual services and
equipment; and the acquisition of
synthesizers and an electronic
piano for the music department.
Also proposed is a media room in
the student center which would
include satellite television pro-
grams, a film and periodical
library in several languages, and
the relocated Language Lab.

Departmental Programs (in-
volving two disciplines): Proposed
is a pre-seminary curriculum with
religion internships: an interdisci-
plinary program in biochemistry:
and student/faculty summer re-
search funds. Also being consi-
dered is a visiting writer for an
entire semester to enhance crea-
tive writing: advanced writing
courses which teach various
kinds of writing from journalistic
to expository: a summer in France
program independent of other
schools: and the use of a school
other than Sweetbnar for semes-
ter/year studies in France for
those students whose budgets
would prevent them from going
otherwise.

Enhancement of "All-Col-
lege" Academic Life: Sugges-
tions include honorary societies
for students: better coordination
of University Center activities and

EDITORIALS

by Maureen McNulty

In a brief moment of calm before what may be a third storm of
letters concerning the tabletalk incident. I would like to express my
deepest thanks to Dr. Ripy and Dr. Ammons for their statement in
defense of the rights of the individual not only on this campus, but
also in this country.

How sad. though, that their efforts were necessary.

LETTERS-

StudstilFs
Question
"Belligerent'*

Dear Editor:

I wish to respond to the letter
from Mr. Studstill which appeared
in the October 27 Profile. Since I
did not attend the Table Talk
luncheon. I will assume that Mr
Studstill's letter fairly represents
his comments there. I have a few
reservations about his position as
he describes it

First, the phrasing of the ques-
tion Mr. Studstill asked Ms. Ziegler
does not indicate merely "a
serious attempt ... to under-
stand" the issue of rape. The
question. Are there cases that
are gray 9 " could be taken as
naive, but Mr. Studstill's working.
Are there no cases that are gray 9 '"
is hortatory, and in context it is
clearly argumentative.

Second, the "gray area" argu-
ment is an old stand-by of defense
lawyers and the callers on radio
talk shows. It usually proceeds to
the conclusion. "She got what was

coming to her." I do not suggest
that Mr. Studstill would proceed to
the same conclusion. I do mean
that in raising this particular
argument, he demonstrated
either an msensitivity to the
feelings and experiences of the
people he was talking to or an
unpardonable naivete about one
of the most publicized social
issues of our day

Third, where exactly would the
gray area lie 9 Mr. Studstill must
have had specific ideas in mind,
or he would not have asked the
question. I do not know what he
was thinking of. but the logical
possibilities would seem to be the
following. 1) Woman said no but
man interpreted it as yes. There
is no gray area here; no is no. 2)
Similarly, woman said I'm not sure
but man interpreted it as yes. Still
no gray area: ambivalence is not
consent. 3) Man used only a little
force and woman acquiesced.
This is like saying that the United
States has used only a little force
on Nicaragua. 4) Man assumed
that woman would enjoy or re-
spect force. They like the rough

stuff. This sort of thing could be
discussed ahead of time, in the
interest of fair play (Listen, how
about if I slap you around a little 9
Would that turn you on 9 ), but to
assume consent is wrong. Again,
there is no gray area.

In other words. Mr. Studstill
raised a worn and substanceless
question which, under the cir-
cumstances, can hardly have
seemed anything but belligerent
to many of the people at the
luncheon. I assume that Mr.
Studstill's heart is in the right
place, and I hope that he will
come to understand the objec-
tions that have been raised to
what he said. Shame is a revolu-
tionary sentiment.
Sincerely,
Steve Guthrie

Students' Rights
Violated

Dear Editor:

It has come to our attention that
in connection with Myra Johnson's
letter to The Profile and Maureen
McNulty's willingness to print the
letter, pressure was exerted on
both students to reconsider publi-
cation of the letter. The letter in
question dealt with John
Studstill's remarks at the Tabletalk
focusing on rape.

Our intention is not to argue the
merits of what Mr. Studstill said or
of what he intended. Rather, our
point is to question the propriety
of his use of telephone calls to
exert pressure as reported by the
two students named above. Miss
McNulty and Miss Johnson

characterize Mr. Studstill's tele-
phone conversations with them
regarding Ms. Johnsons letter as
intimidating. The fact of his
initiating such calls is sufficient
cause for concern, quite apart
from his actual remarks.

Each student has the right to
voice her opinion free from exploi-
tation by faculty or administration.
This right is protected not only by
the United States Constitution but
also by the Agnes Scott College
Board of Trustees' "Statement on
Academic Freedom and Respon-
sibility." as follows:
"The students of Agnes Scott
College are entitled to an atmo-
sphere conducive to learning and
to fair and even-handed treatment
in all aspects of teacher-student
and administrator-student re-
lationships. A student must be
free to take reasoned exception
to the data or views offered in any
course of study, but she is respon-
sible for learning the content of
any course for which she is
enrolled and for maintaining
standards of academic perfor-
mance established for that
course. The student shall be
protected against prejudiced or
capricious academic evaluations
or disciplinary measures and
against any exploitation by faculty
and administrative officials for
personal advantage. As a citizen,
the student has the same rights
and obligations of any citizen, and
there shall be no institutional
censorship or discipline of a
student who speaks or writes as
a citizen. However, it is the
responsibility of the student to
make clear to the academic
community and to the larger
community that she is not a
spokesman for the College."
Agnes Scott College Faculty
Handbook. 1986-87. II. 28.

We urge all those with Agnes
Scott connections to protect the
right of free speech for students.
The diminution of the rights of one
is a threat to the rights of all

Rape "Dynamics"
Delineated

Dear Editor:

Dr Studstill. allow me to explain
to you the "complex dynamics."
as you call them, of rape. Imagine

yourself bent over on all fours like
a dog. A 285 lb. stinking thing
grunts on top of you. He slices
your throat with a knife and batters
your insides until you bruise and
bleed. You may die: you may be
crippled, or you may just hold
internal scars for the rest of your
life. It is not sex. It is a beating. It
is as fun and erotic as Auschwitz.
If you saw it or experienced it,
your stomach would heave, and
your mind would crack like ice.

This is the closest you're going
to get to an "unemotional" and
"intellectual" and yet accurate
description of rape. If you can
remain "unemotional" and "intel-
lectual" when you talk about rape,
you are either terribly naive or you
are as "unemotional" and "intellec-
tual" as the thing that would rape
you. I tend to believe that you are
simply naive, and you saw this
issue as just another in which you
could play the devil's advocate
Except, Dr. Studstill. in this case
you are not playing the devil's
advocate. You are playing the
advocate of something far worse.
Something far more terrifying.
Sincerely
Anonymous

PS. Myra. I don't think I know
you, but your efforts sound a
beacon of truth in a world suffo-
cated by misunderstandings,
rationalizations, and self-imposed
ignorance

Korth Reports
Thefts

Dear Editor:

In the first two months of school
we have had five reports of vehicle
related criminal incidents in four
of our parking lots: Winship (2).
Hopkins (1). Presser (1). and
Physical Plant (1) Two vehicles,
one college-owned and one be-
longing to a student, have been
stolen; the college car was recov-
ered (wrecked and abandoned) in
the City of Atlanta (9/17) and the
student's vehicle has not yet been
recovered One college vehicle
was taken from the Physical Plant
lot and the other from the Hopkins
lot on October 6 Although the
student's vehicle has not been
recovered, another stolen vehicle
was left in its place as part of the
same incident which began with
that vehicle's removal from the
City of Atlanta on the same
evening (1076)

responsibility for eradicating it at
least here at Agnes Scott!
Thank you.
W. J. Korth

Director of Public Safety

Parking
Problems

Dear Editor:

I was a little apprehensive about
this letter because the issue of
safe student parking has been
discussed all too often. Students
have talked among themselves
and even with the President to no
avail. Despite the opening of the
Rebekah lot, the parking problem
seems to have intensified since I
have been at Agnes Scott.

I return home between 10:00
p.m. and midnight a few days of
every week. On the times that I
have returned home late. I have
had the choice of being ticketed
or walking back alone from the
South Candler lot. Needless to
say, I have been ticketed quite
often. Public Safety has gone far
enough to call me at 7:00 a.m. to
"remind'* me that I had parked in
a staff space. I have to believe the
reason I was called was because
the administrators in Main also
are finding the parking problem
difficult to deal with. I do realize
that Public Safety is just doing
their job. I also know that Public
Safety wants better parking for
students along with the rest of us.

I truly believe the injustice here
is in the administration's inability
to understand that the student
body is not crying out for VCR's
in the dorms or priceless antiques
in our date parlors. We are asking
for accessible, on-campus, well-lit
and patrolled parking areas.
During the "Citizens Against
Crime" seminar (that we were
required to see), I was told that
the best way to find yourself
attacked is to park in dimly lit,
out-of-the-way parking areas, i.e.
the South Candler lot. We all know
that people in Decatur are aware
of our vulnerability. How many of
us have had cars burglarized on
campus 9 People are aware young
women live here fairly unprotected.
Public Safety does their best but
they should not be our babysit-
ters. We should have the opportu-
nity to take care of ourselves!

I suggest that some of the
renovation money be used to build
safer parking areas for the stu-
dents, faculty, staff and their
guests. Some of the places I
suggest for parking areas are:

1. extending the Rebekah lot to
the street

2. pave the area where the Hub
used to be. it would make the
library more accessible to off-
campus guests.

3. pave the parking behind
Dana, next to the physical plant
and extend it for use of the new
field and track.

If none of these is acceptable
to the administration, then they
have no choice but to restrict cars
to upperclassmen only due to lack
of parking. Some freshmen may
not like that. . .
Sincerely.

Honor System
Effective?

Dear Editor:

Last year as a new student to
Agnes Scott. I arrived at the
doorstep of Walter's dormitory
with a world waiting to be experi-
enced. That night, with dreams of
high standards and honest
people. I cuddled up amidst
towers of unpacked boxes. With
each new day. Agnes Scott be-
came less and less of a mystery
and my dreams turned into reality.
Soon I was faced with the fact that
Agnes Scott was not quite the
rosy picture that had been painted
for me. Yes. it was still a good
school, but things weren't quite as
great as they had appeared at the
beginning. Food started to disap-
pear from the refrigerator, but I
knew that it couldn't walk off by
itself. So where was that container
of Haagen Daz that I left in the
freezer the night before 7 I simply
passed the food disappearances
off for a while, but things con-
tinued to vanish. My inquisitive
mind began searching for an
answer to this mystery. Agnes
Scott has an honor system which
boasts a reputation of its own, so
why are people violating the rules
which are the very backbone of
the school 9 The only conclusion

REP RAP

by Beth Leonard

President Sherk called the
October 21st meeting to order.
Carolyn Weaver gave the devo-
tion. Roll was called.

Melanie swore in the new
freshman reps. Megan Wallace
and Karen Anderson.

Chief Korth came to Rep to talk
about several problems concern-
ing public safety such as surveil-
lance cameras, parking, and
recent incidents of vandalism.

Julie Blewer made a motion to
accept the constitution as
amended. Beth Leonard sec-
onded the motion. A vote was
taken: 21 in favor. 0 opposed, and
0 abstentions.

Melanie proposed additional
constitutional changes. Genie
Chilcutt made a motion to omit
Article XI. Section 1 which reads
"jurisdiction over use of the Hub
for student activities." Sarah
Jewett seconded the motion. A
vote was taken: 21 in favor. 0
opposed, and 0 abstentions. The
motion passed.

Dawn Harrison. student
member of Academic Standards

Committee, came to Rep to
discuss the new Absence Com-
mittee policy.

There being no further busi-
ness, the meeting was adjourned.

President Sherk called the
October 28th meeting to order.
Sarah Copenhaver gave the
devotion. Roll was called.

Dawn Harrison. student
member of Academic Standards
Committee, reported to Rep about
revisions which have been made
in the Absence" Committee policy.

Julie Blewer made a motion to
accept the SGA Constitution as
amended. Carolyn Weaver sec-
onded the motion. A vote was
taken: 20 in favor, 0 opposed, and
0 abstentions.

Dean Behan came to Rep to
discuss student opinions about
the semester system.

Rep began making plans for
Winter Project which will take
place in February. Shelly Trabue
and Lynn Wilson will be cochairs
of the committee.

A Halloween costume party
was planned for Thursday eve-
ning in the dining hall.

There being no further busi-
ness, the meeting was adjourned.

that I could reach was that the
dorm I lived in contained
freshmen and new students;
perhaps some of them had not
found, the Agnes Scott lifestyle
suitable. Maybe they couldn't live
with the standards of the school.
I used this explanation as an
excuse for the disappearances of
food.

As I returned this year to live in
an upperclassmen dormitory. I
had higher hopes. The people I
would be living with must have
grown to respect the standards of
Agnes Scott or they wouldn't be
returning for their junior and
senior years. These people who
had stuck it out with Agnes Scott

had to believe in the honor system
and the privileges it offers us.
Once again reality hit. In only a
month of school-, food has disap-
peared not just .once, but four
times' Perhaps I am naive. People
at Agnes Scott are only human,
but yet something seems wrong.
I address you. the Agnes Scott
community, to question whether
your personal standards meet up
to the college's standards, for the
honor system is one of the
school's greatest attributes. And I
still cannot lose hope that there is
something better out there.
Sincerely.

In another incident, all four
wheels and tires were removed
from a vehicle in the Winship
Parking Lot sometime between
9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on
September 30. Another vehicle
was "vandalized" (Criminal Dam-
age to Property) in the same lot
on October 5 when the windshield
was broken with a blunt object.

Most recently, on October 16.
an RTC's vehicle was broken into
for the purpose of committing a
theft in the Presser Parking Lot
sometime between 9:15 p.m. and
10:15 p.m.

In analyzing these incidents,
there appears to be no common

theft. The only common link rests
with the three vehicles which were
stolen, since all (to include aban-

are fast becoming a nationally
favorite target due to their rela-
tively susceptible ignition design.

I know that many of you may
be thinking 'why is he telling us
this 9 " or "what does he expect to
accomplish by doing so 7 " Well,
first of all, I am trying to inform
you of the facts to dispel some
recent rumors. But, more impor-
tantly. I am trying to encourage all
of you to:

1) Park in well lighted areas and
report conditions (safety or se-
curity) that concern you to the Pub-
lic Safety Office.

2) Refer to the "Escort" Service of
Public Safety and park in the
Candler Lot, which is now better
illuminated than any of the lots
herein identified.

3) Equip your vehicle with an
audible alarm and/or other anti-
theft devices which are very
popular items on today's market.

4) Most important: Assist Public
Safety by reporting any and all
suspicious activity or persons as
quickly as possible by calling
Extension 400 with the informa-
tion. We need your eyes and ears
where ours may not be at that
time.

This problem is not an Agnes
Scott phenomena. It is an area,
regional and national problem for
which there is no quick or easy
solution. We must all share the

PHONATHON

by Debbie Strickland

Each year at Agnes Scott,
alumnae and faculty work to-
gether to solicit donations to the
school at the Phonathon. For six
nights, from October 28 to
November 4. they contacted
alumnae in an attempt to raise
S20.000. On November 6. stu-
dents manned the phones, in an
effort to help their own cause. Dr.
Rick Scott, the Vice President for
Development and Public Affairs,
hopes to increase the percentage
of alumnae who give this year in
order to offset a seven percent
decline last year. The Phonathon
is part of an overall plan to raise
S720.000 this year for the college

President Reagan signed an

executive order that officially
began the influx of $100 million in
new U.S. aid to Nicaraguan
rebels. The rebels, known as
contras. have been continuing
their efforts to overthrow the leftist
Sandinista government without
U.S. help since October of 1984,
when Congress halted a two-year
aid program. In evident prepara-
tion for the imminent aid to the
contras, the Nicaraguan govern-
ment has received large ship-
ments of Soviet military hardware
including six to eight new Soviet
assault helicopters.

Great Britain broke diplomatic
relations with Syria on Oct. 24,
claiming that there was "conclu-
sive evidence of official Syrian
involvement" in a plot to destroy
an Israeli airliner in London last
spring. British Foreign Secretary
Geoffrey Howe says that Syria
has been given 2 weeks to close
its embassy and withdraw its 21
diplomats there. As a sign of
American support. President
Reagan withdrew the U.S. Am-
bassador to Syria for "an indefinite
period of time".

President Reagan passed a

new tax bill on Oct. 22 and called
the new tax system less a reform
than a revolution." Most of the
main elements of the law will go
into effect on January 1 of 1987.

In Greenville, Tenn., U.S.
District Court Judge Thomas G.
Hull ruled that schools are violat-
ing the Constitution by requiring
fundamentalist Christian children
to use textbooks offending their
religious beliefs. He ordered the
Hawkins County. Tenn., public
schools to excuse fundamentalist
children from reading material
their parents regard as "-anti-
Christian", such as those promot-
ing feminism and pacificism. The
school board must also permit
parents to teach their children
reading at home.

The Soviets have announced
that five staff members of the U.S.
Embassy would have to leave
and that all 260 Soviet embassy
employees would be withdrawn.
The Reagan administration has
retaliated by ordering 55 Soviet
diplomats to leave the country by
November 1. The expulsions
began when the U.S. initiated
cutbacks in the size of the Soviet's
U N. Mission on the grounds that
55 members were engaged "in
activities incompatible with their
diplomatic status." otherwise
known as espionage.

IBM announced Tuesday, Oct.
21 that it plans to sell its opera-

country without having any short-
term impact on the South African
economy.

Harmful Acid Rain Showers Georgia

Every cloud may have a silver
lining, but this year's drought did
not bring relief to Georgia from
the ravages of acid rain.

Instead, say environmentalists,
the pollution simply dropped to
the earth in dry form, doing just
as much damage to crops,
forests, streams, and human
lungs.

Acid rain is caused when oxides
of sulfur and nitrogen are emitted
from the burning of fossil fuels
primarily in coalfired power plants
and automobiles.

When these pollutants mix with
moisture in the upper atmo-
sphere, they form sulfuric and
nitric acids, which fall to earth in
rain or, in the case of a drought,
as "dry deposition"

In either case, this pollution
represents a serious health
hazard, says Ogden Doremus.
one of Georgia's leading environ-
mentalists. Doremus authored
much of the states antipollution

legislation in the past 20 years.

The environmentalist analyzed
the current threat to Georgia from
acid rain in an article published
by the Georgia Forum.

"Researchers at Florida State
University have measured the air
in South Georgia and North
Florida to be alarmingly acidic."
said Doremus. "When we inhale
this acidic air. the pollution com-
bines with moisture in our lung
tissue. This has been suggested
as the reason for the high lung
cancer mortality rate in Georgia
and Florida."

Sulfur pollution also falls on
Southern soils. Doremus added.
"Scientists at the University of
Virginia are documenting the
steady increase of such pollution
and predict serious problems not
only for the sulfur-saturated soils,
but for Southern lakes and
streams into which the pollution
drains."

^xnericaii

While Georgia is surrounded
by major polluters, the state is a
major polluter in its own right, said
Doremus. "Georgia ranked 12th
highest among the 50 states
according to EPA figures for 1980
emissions. Plant Bowen and Plant
Wansley are among the Top Ten
dirtiest power plants in the nation ."

State and utility officials main-
tain that Georgia has done a good
job of controlling sulfur pollution
and that further clean up will cost
too much.

"In fact." said Doremus.
"studies for Congress show that
an effective national acid rain
cleanup using proven
technologies would add only six
to eight percent to the average
residential electricity bill in
Georgia."

This "nominal" investment
would protect the health of Geor-
gia's citizens, crops and forests.
Doremus said. "The reality is that
it is costing us too much not to
clean up this pollution."

Jaffer: From Pakistan to Decatur

by Debbie Strickland

In recent years the administra-
tion has endeavored to make the
Agnes Scott student body more
internationally aware. Programs
such as Global Awareness con-
tribute to this goal, but the most
important factor is the presence
of ethnically and internationally
diverse students. Agnes Scott has
succeeded in attracting students
from all over the world. This year
there are students from India. Sri
Lanka. Pakistan. Turkey and
Australia. Amna Jaffer. a
freshman and one of two students
from Pakistan, came to the United
States a mere two months ago to
study at Agnes Scott. A primary
reason for Amna's choice is that
"Pakistan does" not have good
colleges or universities for a
liberal arts education." She found

RTC's are Practiced Jugglers

by Diana Jordon

Walking across campus with a
friend who is a traditional student,
we discussed her father and my
sister-in-law. who happen to work
together. "Yeah.*' she said. "I
explained to him about RTC's. but
he had a hard time understanding
why"; she paused. 'Why we
have a special classification?" I
finished for her. "Right." she said,
and we acknowledged there are
many return-to-college students
in schools everywhere.

But after our conversation. I
pondered the questions. "Why
have a special classification?"
and "What benefits are derived
from it?"

The first thought that occurred
to me was that the word "special"
can carry connotations not appro-
priate. For instance. I used to say
I'm in the Return to College
Program at Agnes Scott." But that
makes it sound like it's some sort
of experiment or substandard
(easier) program just for those of
us who may be too old to learn
very many new tricks. Now I just
say. u r^-i^JflpiRnt at Agnes
Scott " But alas, that doesn't tell
thewhole story. For indeed, in my
opinion, there is something spe-
cial about being an RTC at ASC.
For although RTC's here may
share the same motivation for
returning to college as students
at other schools, we enjoy a
uniqueness in the quality, scope.

and support of and for this life-
altering experience that is. for
many of us. the fulfillment of a
long-held dream. And that makes
a difference.

The usual reasons cited for
recognizing RTC's as a group of
diverse individuals with common
concerns and challenges include
providing us a group to identify
with and obtain support from.

Most of us don't belong to a
class until our last year. Only then
do we truly know this is the year
we'll be graduating. Not being
campus based, we need to create
our own sense of community.
Convocations and extra-curricular
activities bind us to the college
community at large, but we need
a system for cultivating the
friendships that enrich our college
experience and our lives beyond
college. I know of several adult
students "taking classes" at other
schools. They rarely get to know
their classmates, never call these
people or have contact with them
outside of class, and probably
won't see them again once a class
is over. And while everyone's life
is a mixture of the mundane (i.e..
perpetually dirty laundry and ill-
timed auto failure) and we hope,
the sublime, only another high-
wire artist can fully appreciate the
demands of juggling school with
family or financial responsibility,
and frequently both. The support
of fellow students. Marilyn. Dr.
Drucker. and Chaplain Dunson is
like a safety net. tried and true,
lest we become too fearful to

continue.

Still. I think the most unique and
special (there's that word again)
advantage to a program such as
ours is the sense of value as-
signed to pursuing a liberal arts
education in an increasingly
technological and ambitious
world. Valuing education and its
pursuit automatically imparts a
sense of worth to the woman
willing to take up the task. In our
lives "out there." we may be the
mother who can no longer serve
on PTA committees: we may be
the employee who has had to
reduce her hours: we may be the
wife who never leaves home
without her French flash cards.
But. through some sort of heady
magic, when we arrive on cam-
pus, often harried and just one
minute before or after the
bell, we become whole. We
become students. For whatever
time we are privileged to be here,
we can focus on who we are and
who we can become. We can be
nourished. We can be challenged.
We can feel accepted by our
peers, not as "Susie, with too
many irons in the fire and a lot of
foolish notions." but as women in
pursuit of a goal. It is a pervasive
sentiment and it lends dignity and
purpose where we might other-
wise feel isolated and fragmented.

My teenage niece, begging her
mother to take her to the mall,
implored, "But Mother. I breathe
better in mall air." I know exactly
what she means. I breathe better

very attractive and was especially
drawn to its exceptional psychol-
ogy and art departments.

Like almost every other
freshman. Amna misses her
home. But unlike almost every
other freshman. Amna will not be
able to go home until summer
vacation. Learning to rely only on
herself with no parental support
has been a difficult task. She is
completely independent and self-
reliant, for her sister, a senior at
Hampshire College in Amherst, is
her only relative living in the
United States. Besides her family,
she misses "the beautiful
beaches, special traditions, and
the hot and spicy food."

In the short time she has been
at Agnes Scott. Amna has man-
aged to adapt and flourish. She
has many friends, and is involved
in several campus organizations,
including Chimo. Circle K. and the
Silhouette staff. She says that

Reach for the Stars

she likes many aspects of living
in the United States such as "the
opportunity to be independent,
and to think and decide for
myself." When her education is
complete. Amna will probably
reside in the US.

Although Amna enjoys living in
the US. she continues to maintain
her cultural identity, and she even
shares it with the campus commu-
nity through her association with
Chimo. Agnes Scott's interna-
tional club. She organized a
Pakistani dance routine for the
Chimo convocation on October
29 and spoke briefly about her
situation as an international
student. Her active participation
in campus life enriches both her
and the campus community. She
is one of many international
students who are introducing
Agnes Scott's predominantly
southern student body to other
lands and other cultures.

Debate Club Debut

*

by Sarah Garland

The Agnes Scott College De-
bate Society is proud to announce
its establishment as a new organi-
zation on campus dedicated to
giving Agnes Scott students the
opportunity to compete intercol-
legiately in Cross Examination
Debate (CEDA). The society
began last spring quarter when
several members of the Phi
Sigma Tau Society felt that there
was a need for a debate team on
the ASC campus. Charlotte Lewis
and Mary Morris, with the help of
Dr. Parry, professor of philosophy
proceeded to make plans for.
debate at ASC in the following
year. Agnes Scott has obtained
support from the nationally ranked
Emory team. Melissa Wade.
Emory's coach, has not only
helped teach Agnes Scott stu-
dents debate skills, but has also
helped the society plan a program
of competition. Agnes Scott will
begin competing at Sanford Col-

lege on November 14th and 15th.
This semester's topic is "Relations
with the Soviet Union are a better
objective for the United States than
increased military preparedness."

Debate is a fascinating and
competitive occupation which
develops skills such as cognitive
reasoning, confident speaking,
and. of course, quick thinking.
The skills of debators prove
invaluable in the job market,
graduate school, and especially
law school. Debate, though time
consuming, can help students
improve their study skills during
undergraduate school, making
the time they spend studying
more efficient. For women con-
cerned about the world in which
they live debate gives students a
chance to "get into the issues"
and not be blindly led by the press
or government officials. If you are
interested in debate or just want
more information on what our
debate team is doing, please

Focus on Academic Stress

by Lisa Gugino

The academic world is full of
pressures; deadlines to be met,
assignments to be completed and
always an overabundance of
work. Oftentimes it gets to be too
much and the pressures turn to
stress. All students have experi-
enced academic stress at one
point or another and for a variety
of reasons. Agnes Scott students
are no exception, and they fre-
quently discuss the rigors of their
education.

When Agnes Scott students
were questioned about this sub-
ject, they readily provided an
assortment of answers about their
experiences with stress. Katie
MacMillan. a senior, feels she has
learned to deal with the pressures
Agnes Scott has placed on her.
She said. "I'm always under
pressure, but I haven't been
stressed out lately. In the past IVe
felt stress when I was doing things
I didn't enjoy like fulfilling core
requirements." Patricia Roy had
different feelings about stress at
Agnes Scott. She maintains that
'A.S.C. is academically stressful
because that's where all the focus
of achievement is placed. There
needs to be more of a balance on
this campus. There isn't enough
recognition of or emphasis on the
social, athletic and other extracur-
ricular activities."

Several responses came from
new students in the freshman
class. Dana Wagnon. a freshman,
commented that she felt she was

Crisis
Control

Have you ever heard of or
wondered about the concept of
risk reduction centers 9 It is a
concept that involves the lives of
each one of us. Georgia Students
Association wants you to be
aware of this current issue. The
following discussion is excerpted
from a proposal by Senators Sam
Nunn and John Warner titled.
'"Risk Reduction Centers: An Idea
Whose Time Has Come."

With the proliferation of nuclear
technology, the increasing
number of nuclear warheads and
mobile launchers, and the tragic
spread of terrorism, the time has
come-if not already past due for
the two superpowers to assume
a greater responsibility for taking
steps to reduce the risk of a
confrontation arising from acci-
dents, miscalculation, theft, or
third party extortion.

The leaders of both the United
States and the Soviet Union
agreed to the "Joint Statement" of
the Geneva Summit to instruct
experts to study the establish-
ment of risk reduction centers,
and President Reagan stated
upon his return in his address to
a joint session of Congress: "We
agreed to begin work on risk
reduction centers, a decision that
should give special satisfaction to
Senators Nunn and Warner, who
so ably promoted this idea."

under so much stress because
her high school had not
adequately prepared her for the
academic demands of ASC. She
elaborated. "It seems that the
professors are trying to see who
can cut it. especially in English.
Also, there are so many classes
wanting so much work and all at
the same time." Jennifer Lennon.
another freshman, remarked that.
"ASC is extremely stressful be-
cause it is a new place, and I'm
not really sure how things work
around here. I don't feel like there's
much I can do about it either: it's
going to take me awhile to get
used to the stricter grading scale
and the higher expectations."

Many students attributed much
of their academic stress to the
use of the semester system. Alisa
Duffey. a sophomore, said. "I'm
really kind of down on the semes-
ter system right now because
everything is coming down on me
at once. I understand that this is
new for the professors, too. and
that they aren't used to scheduling
their assignments under the new
time table, but it's really causing
me a lot more stress. The extra
class is a burden because it adds
so much more reading, and things
haven't been as stretched out as
they promised us." Karen Nowell.
a freshman, seemed especially
perturbed with the new system:
"Due to the teachers' lack of
coordination, they have been
dumping things on us all at one
time and creating more academic
stress than there needs to be.
They need to get their syllabi
together and work it out." Lea

Now the challenge to translate
this group's ideas into a function-
ing system rests on the two
governments. Negotiations will
get underway in 1986 and, if the
goal is reached, history will judge
this work to be one of the most
significant achievements of the
Geneva summit.

What we have in mind are two
centers, one in Washington and
the other in Moscow, that would
keep a 24 hour watch on events
that could lead to nuclear inci-
dents. The centers would be
linked with modern communica-
tions equipment equivalent to that
now being installed under the
Hotline upgrade agreement.
There would be no joint U.SJ
Soviet manning of the centers in
the initial phase of operations, but
designated liaison officers from
each embassy- should be given
restricted access to the centers
under controlled escort on a
regular basis. The national staffs
of each center would be com-
prised of appropriate diplomatic,
military, and intelligence person-

Williams, a recent transfer from
Georgia Southwestern, said. "My
first test period at Agnes Scott
turned out to be more than I
expected: three tests all on the
same day. One week I have only
one test and the next I have three.
Everybody seems to be complain-
ing about the bombardment of
assignments due all on the same
day. Personally, I like not going to
classes every day. but the piling
up of work gets really stressful."
Kim Maleski. however, did not feel
that the work load was that bad
because "the syllabi tell you
what's coming up so you can work
ahead of time when assignments
fall on the same day."

A few students who came on
academic scholarship, like Lanie
Miller, discussed the stress in-
volved with keeping a particular
grade point average. "I'm on a
Centennial Scholarship, so I must
keep a 3.0. Never having to study
in high school. I wasn't prepared
for the amount of time I would
have to spend studying here. Now
I study all the time, which has
been particularly stressful for me."

The stress on campus can be
attributed to a variety of reasons.
Some of these have to do with
change, others with the high
academic standards kept by the
college. Many of the instances
reported by the students are
personal and must be worked out
individually. However, there are
instances of stress, according to
the students interviewed, that
could be alleviated by some
thoughtful coordination on the part
of the faculty and administration. -

nel and. in the case of the U.S.
center, the facility would be run by
an ambassador-level official who
would report to the President
through the National Security
Council.

The principal role of the centers
would be crisis prevention, not
crisis management. Were the
superpowers to find themselves
in a dangerous confrontation,
existing mechanisms, including
the Hotline and the crisis manage-
ment team which Vice President
Bush heads, would all come into
play It is essential, however, that
the crisis management groups in
the U.S. and the Soviet Union be
making decisions upon an identi-
cal base of information existing in
Moscow and Washington. The
centers would provide this vital
role.

The mandate for the center is
to help prevent a crisis from
occurring, to relay information,
and to facilitate discussions
intended to reduce the risk that a
tragic misunderstanding could
precipitate a crisis, a confrontation.

Hey. wanna hang out 9 Well,
read this article and find out some
of the places where the hip and
happening collegetype people of
the 80s are finding spirits, spunk
and whatever else they are
looking for. We talked to several
of these hip and happening
individuals and compiled this list
for your dancing and dining (and
drinking) pleasure. These are
some of x the popular hangouts of
the infamous tri-collegiate area:
Agnes Scott. Emory, and Georgia
Tech.

It seems that Agnes Scott
students frequent a variety of hot
spots around Atlanta. The Hub
was first on the student's list last
year but due to unfortunate
circumstances. Inman lobby has
replaced the Hub as the place to
be seen. No. seriously. ASC
students are likely to be found
cruising the streets of Little Five
Points perhaps taking in the tunes
of the Indigo Girls at the Little Five
Points Pub or The Point. Rick's in
Virginia Highlands is also popular
with ASC women. In our very own
neighborhood resides the well
loved establishments of the
Freight Room and Tracksides.

Scott students also like to catch
a good flick at the Buckhead
Cinema and Drafthouse and
Excelsior Mill. Churchill Arms and
Fat Tuesdays in that fashionable
area of town. Buckhead. have
always been and still are popular
night spots.

Emory students tend to congre-
gate in the Emory Village area at
the Lullwater. at Everybody's and
Jaegers for pizza, as well as at
the Dugout, which has TV's and
pool tables. Following the trend
setting women of ASC. Emory
students have made Little Five
Points a regular hangout place.

Just where do those Tech boys
(men?) go besides the Frats and
the computer room 9 Fat Tues-
days. Good Old Days, and the
area Drafthouses are also on
Tech's list of hot spots. Grumpy's.
the Third Street Tunnel Pub. and
P.J.'s Nest are neighborhood
retreats for those engineers. 688
and the Acapulco Bar are clubs
that the techies frequent.

Well 9 These are a few of the
groovy places around Atlanta that
attract collegiates of the 80 s. Any
other places that you think merit

Joyful Noise rehearses on Thursday rights.

Joyful Noise Brings Gospel
Music to Campus

by Louisa Parker

Crimes of the Heart is a hilari-
ous yet touching play about three
sisters who are brought back
together because of a family
crisis. During the course of the
play, the sisters each solve an
inner conflict and grow closer.
Beth Henley, the playwright,
manages to pack both humour
and meaning into every line of her
well-written script.

The play begins with Lenny, the
motherly oldest sister, talking with
her manipulative cousin Chick
(perfectly played by Carroll
Thompson) about Lenny's
younger sister Babe who has
apparently shot her own husband.
What reason does Babe offer for
her actions 9 "I didn't like his
looks." In actuality, Babe's hus-
band is a terrible tyrant who beat
her, and Babe had an affair with
a black boy. Henley keeps the
suspense by revealing these
events tantalizingly slowly.

Meg, the middle sister who ran
away to Hollywood to become a
singer, Lenny, and "little" Babe
have all allowed their lives to be
controlled by their grandfather
who raised them. Now that their
grandfather is dying in the hospital
they help each other to break
away from their grandfather's
influence.

Lenny has never married be-
cause her grandfather convinced
her that no man could ever love
her because of her horrible
deformity, a shrunken ovary. With
her sisters' encouragement,
Lenny rebels, kicks cousin Chick
out of her house by chasing her
with a broom around the kitchen,
into the backyard and up a tree,
and reunites herself with an old
love that she jilted for fear that he
would discover her deformitv.

Meg always sang to impress
her grandfather, which contri-
buted to her mental breakdown.
During an encounter with a lover
that she had jilted, she learns to
sing for herself and, therefore, to
be happy. Babe broke away from
her grandfather just before the
play began, by shooting the
husband that her grandfather
wanted her to marry because he
was rich and powerful. Still, she
has to grapple with her question-
able future and the desire to kill
herself, just like her suicidal
mother did.

If the plot sounds somber, it is
because of the inability to aptly
portray on paper the comedy of a
grown woman (Lenny) singing
"Happy Birthday" to herself and
wishing on a candle stuck to a
cookie or of a woman trying and
trying but just not seeming to be
able to kill herself (Babe). Henley's
humour is indescribable. Jeanie
Norton. Jeanme Dwinell. and

Felicia Wheeler (Lenny. Meg. and
Babe, respectively) touch the
viewers' hearts in the scenes of
sisterly conflict and caring, espe-
cially during the final birthday
scene.

Jeanie Norton portrayed Lenny,
revealing to the audience Lenny's
every shy mood and each step of
Lennys inner rebellion. Jeanie
made Lenny a convincing, three-
dimensional person.

Jeanme Dwinell really shone
through as the vibrant Meg in the
third act and beyond, despite the
fact that she was not quite as
convincing during the first two
acts. Once into Meg's singing
breakthrough scene, however,
Jeanine filled the air with Meg's
presence.

I was disappointed with Randy
Rogers' somewhat stilted Doc
Porter and Mark Jordan's
slightly overacted portrayal of
Barnette Lloyd. These male
characters seemed weak and
two-dimensional compared to the
vivid women. Felicia Wheeler was
excellent as Babe Botrelle. a
difficult character to play because
of her unusual logic. Felicia
marvelously emanated Babe's
appealing, yet sometimes frustra-
ting character. Although the timing
in the first act was slow, which
made the play seem to drag at
first, the play was superbly pre-
sented and delightful to watch.

Wandering through Presser
Hall on Thursday evenings, you
may hear music somewhat differ-
ent from that traditionally prac-
ticed in Presser. Those soulful
sounds would be the harmonies
of Joyful Noise, the newest
singing group to join the ranks of
others at Agnes Scott. Joyful
Noise is a gospel chorus that
sings a range of music from Negro
Spirituals to Contemporary Chris-
tian. The group began in the
Spring of 1985 with thirteen
members and the encouragement
and direction of Dr. Ron Byrnside.
Having its beginnings in SBA
(Students for Black Awareness),
its purpose was three-fold: to
provide a meaningful and produc-
tive way to fellowship in a Chris-
tian manner, to expose the Agnes
Scott Community to a musical

genre called Gospel, and to
"Make a joyful noise unto the
Lord," Psalms 100:1. Since its
inception, it has striven to keep
and continue those ideals. Joyful
Noise has grown to an approxi-
mate size of twenty-four members
and is always open to interested
students. It has gained a very
talented accompanist. Nathan
Greer, a graduate student at
Georgia State University, whose
style and insight add the type of
vitality and spirituality necessary
to this musical genre.

When can Agnes Scott listen to
this new group? Although Joyful
Noise has its first engagement of
the academic year in Griffin.
Georgia. Agnes Scott will hear
them at the Agnes Scott Christ-
mas Concert in December. If you
have an interest in joining in the
fellowship of Joyful Noise, prac-
tice is held every Thursday eve-
ning at 7:00 in Presser Hall. You
are always invited to come!

Joffrey II Dancers Perform in Presser

I'he Joffre} II Dancers will perform November 20 ;it 8:15 p.m.

New York's vibrant Joffrey II
Dancers brings its special brand
of ballet to Agnes Scott College
on Tuesday. November 20. at 8:15
p.m.. in Presser Hall, as part of
the College Events Calendar.

The Joffrey II Dancers is a
classical company of young danc-
ers conceived with a four-fold
purpose. Since its inception in
1969, the Joffrey II Dancers have
operated as a complete program
designed to prepare young danc-
ers of outstanding potential to
enter the Joffrey Ballet: to provide
emerging choreographers, com-
posers, costume and lighting
designers with produced perform-
ance opportunities for their works;
as a training ground for arts
administrators and production
personnel; and last, through an
extensive schedule of annual
national touring, to allow com-
munities unable to support a large
ballet company to view quality,
professional dance to see "The
Joffrey's Future All Stars."

Under to Directorship of
Richard Englund and Associate
Director. Jeremy Blanton. the
Company participates in a
exhaustive schedule of daily
classes, rehearsals, and perform-
ances. The dancers also focus on
the finer points of their chosen
career, such as makeup, hairstyl-
ing. and costuming from all
periods of dance, and learn the
importance of stage etiquette.

The sixteen dancers and ap-
prentices aged 16-22 in Joffrey II
are hand-picked by Robert Joffrey
and Richard Englund and come

from all across the United States.
These outstandingly talented
young performers are found in a
variety of settings: from Joffrey II
master classes held in tour cities
and regional ballet festivals:
auditions during the Company's
New York rehearsal period; from
participants in Joffrey Workshop
in San Antonio. Texas: or by
personal recommendation from
dance professionals throughout
the country. Most Joffrey II danc-
ers remain with the Company for
approximately two years. Eighty
percent of the nearly 270 dancers
who have participated in the
Joffrey II program have gone on
to become members of the
Joffrey Ballet. Currently more
than seventy-five percent of the
main Company are Joffrey II
alumni. Additionally, thirty-five
other professional dance com-
panies worldwide claim Joffrey II
graduates.

The Company tours its eclectic
repertoire year-round, through a
combination of single engage-
ments and short and long term
residencies. It has performed in
forty-nine states, including on-
going relationships in St. Louis.
Missouri; and Iowa City. Iowa.
The repertory combines classical,
contemporary, romantic, and neo-
classical ballet ensemble pieces,
with modern and jazz works.
Artists to have emerged from
Joffrey II include choreographers
Choo San Goh. Marjorie
Mussman. Gray Veredon, and
Mark Haim: composers Jonathan
Hancock and David Koblitz; cos-

tume designers Carol Vollet
Garner. Lynn Hoffman, and Mimi
Maxman; and lighting designer
Gail Dahl. Additionally, its reper-
tory also shines with the brilliance
of Petipa. Bournonville. and
Robert Joffrey.

In addition to training artists,
the Joffrey II Dancers provides a
unique experience for arts ad-
ministrators and technical person-
nel. Both the General Manager
and the Director of Operations for
the Joffrey Ballet refined their
talents with Joffrey II. It also has
acted as a springboard for the
General Manager of the Martha
Graham Company, a stage man-
ager and the General Manager of
American Ballet Theater, costume
mistresses with Colorado Opera
Festival and many other stage
technicians in performing arts
companies throughout the country.

Traveling coast-to-coast
through North America in a big.
white bus upwards of 20.000
miles annually. Joffrey II has
brought dance to all corners of the
United States. In the 1986-87
season, the company will be seen
by audiences in 21 states. Carry-
ing on the Joffrey tradition of
excellence and excitement, the
Joffrey II Dancers are Joffrey stars
on the rise.

Tickets for the November 20
performance, which is open to the
public, are S9 for general admis-
sion and S6 for students. For
further information or ticket reser-
vations, call 371-6430.

London Fog Sings at
The Freight Room

by Kimberly Baker

London Fog performed to a
crowd of Agnes Scott students,
faculty, staff and fans Thursday.
October 30, at the Freight Room.
The mellow music and the re-
laxed, peaceful atmosphere out-
side on the deck made a perfect
ending to a day of study

The group demonstrated a
jazzy, upbeat style in such songs
as "April in Pans" and "Look for
the Silver Lining." The young
ladies blended their beautiful
voices but brought out the fullness
of their voices in their solos. Nan
Tittle showed that she can hold
her own in "Sophisticated Ladies."
in which she allowed her voice to
carry above the others. Julie Walls
gave an animated rendition of
"Always True to You." in which she
assured her man that she is
faithful in spite of her following of

male admirers. The traditional
London Fog favorite, "Java Jive."
was presented with solos by Amy
Gottsche. Beth Leonard, and Julie
Walls. Its mellow sounds make it
popular year after year.

The performance was superb.
The group always relates well with
the audience with its casual stage
presence. The members showed
their individuality in their dress,
which ranged from pajamas to the
traditional London Fog sweat-
shirts and derby hats.

The audience enjoyed the
performance. One spectator said
of the atmosphere on the platform
of the Freight Room at night, 'it
was novel." Another ASC student
commented after the perfor-
mance, "I would love to have a
voice like that."

The night at the Freight Room
was made complete with Freight
Room favorites, such as nachos,
bought with special coupons
provided for the occasion.

Art Display Features Two Cultures

by Heather Rogers

"Icons and Images: Art from
Sub-Sahara Africa," a colorful and
culturally rich art exhibit was on
display in Dalton Galleries from
October 5 through November 2.
Eighty art objects including
masks, figurines, woven cloth,
household items, and photo-
graphs were selected from the
private collections of Arlan and
Edith Rosenbloom to be exhibited
in the southeast.

Robert Hild. the exhibit's
curator, arranged the art objects
with a unique purpose in mind: "to
bring the masks and other art
objects into our culture in a
context that might be experienced
with new meaning." Since African
art is valued not for its beauty but
for its usefulness in religion,
leadership, social organization
and domestic life. Hild included in
the African exhibit practical ob-
jects from American culture such
as hemp rope, old chains, a
garden hose, wheat straw and
even a theatre drapery. This

intermingling of African and Amer-
ican art objects in one exhibit
"brought onto common ground the
expression of a ritual in two distant
cultures, ours and theirs."

"Icons and Images" was com-
piled by Robert Hild, Terry
McGehee and the ASC art depart-
ment, Robert Lane, Dudley
Sanders and President Ruth
Schmidt. The Global Awareness
Committee, the city of Decatur,
the Dekalb Council for the Arts,
and the Southern Arts Federation
made the exhibit possible.

The Alliance Theatre Presents Annulla, An Autobiography

w

The life-affirming drama Annulla.
An Autobiography by award-
winning playwright Emily Mann
will be presented in the Alliance
Studio from November 5-22. The
Alliances Interim Associate Artis-
tic DirectorTimothy Neardirects.

This newly revised play, a
collaboration between playwright
Mann and director Near, is about
a young woman whose search for
her family roots in Eastern Europe
leads her through London where
she spends an afternoon with
Annulla Allen, a 74-year-old
Jewish emigrant from Poland. As
Annulla prepares chicken soup
from scratch, she conducts
teatime conversation about every-
thing from Hitler to sex to
childbirth, with an impassioned
opinion on every topic. She talks
about her escape from Austria
during the Hitler reign of terror, of
how she helped her husband
escape from Dachau and smug-
gled her child into the safety of
Sweden Amid the chatter and
clutter of her Hampstead Heath
flat. Annulla's fascinating life
unfolds and provides a link to the
young woman's obliterated past

Annulla, An Autobiography is
based on actual conversations
between Emily Mann and Annulla
Allen during the summer of 1974.
Mann and her college roommate.
Annulla's niece, were traveling
through Europe to work on an oral
history project when Mann first
met Annulla. The experience of
meeting this wise and indomita-
ble woman had a profound effect
on Mann personally and profes-
sionally.

At Near's suggestion. Mann
added a second character to her
play, the role of Mann herself in
search of her own roots. Though
the character speaks only as a
recorded narrative voice, it is an
important addition. Rather than
speaking to a second character
on stage. Annulla directly addres-
ses the theatre audience, as
though each member were her
houseguest. In effect, the audi-
ence becomes Mann, and Near
and set designer Jeff Struckman
have labored to recreate Annulla's
flat so that it incorporates the
audience with the action

In the role of Annulla Allen is
Canadian actress Jacqueline

Bertrand. Bertrand trained at the
Neighborhood Playhouse and
The Actors' Studio in New York
and the London Academy of
Music and Dramatic Arts in
England. Her many stage credits
in this country include Deathtrap
at the Pennsylvania Rep. The
Rivals at the Alliance Theatre. La
Ronde at Syracuse Stage, and
Nest of the Woodgrouse for the
New York Shakespeare Festival.
For television. Bertrand was seen
as her direct ancestor, the Count-
ess Frances Bertrand. in the

of Eagle in a Cage with Trevor
Howard and George Rose.

Carol Channing and Mary Martin Star
in New Comedy, Legends, at Fox

Legends!, a new comedy star-
ring Mary Martin and Carol
Channing, opens Wednesday,
November 12th. at the Fox
Theatre in Atlanta, for seven
performances only. Miss Martin
and Miss Channing, Broadway
legends of the first rank, are
together on stage for the first time
in their illustrious careers.

Written by James Kirkwood,
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A
Chorus Line, and directed by
Britain's Clifford Williams,
Legends! provides the setting for
two Hollywood actresses of "a
certain age" who are sought to
star together in a Broadway show.
Their fame, talent, and magic are
surpassed only by their hatred for
each other. Theirs is a wickedly
funny feud, exploding with venom-
ous verbal barbs, until some
surprising truths are discovered
beneath the laughter. Legends! is
a back-stabbing, up-staging.

tongue-lashing tour de force that
puts a warm glow, and even a little
love, back into show business.

Legends! which has just con-
cluded successful engagements
in Dallas, Los Angeles, New
Orleans, San Antonio, and cur-
rently in San Francisco, was
reviewed as "A bitchy, loving,
funny valentine," by Variety:
"Polished and witty," by the Dallas
Morning News; and L. A.'s KNBC-
TV said of Legends!, 'As touching
as it is hilarious. Wonderful
indeed!" Columnist Liz Smith said
"Broadway-bound Legends!
bested anything the New York
Theatre has mounted in ages."

In Legends!, Miss Martin adds
the character of Leatrice Monsee
to her unforgettable repertory of
stage roles of Nellie Forbush,
Peter Pan, Maria Von Trapp, and
Annie Oakley.

As Sylvia Glenn, the quintes-
sential vamp, Miss Channing

shines with the same glitter that
made theatrical history of her
roles as Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes and Dolly Levi in
Hello, Dolly!.

Legends! producers are Ahmet
Ertegun, Kevin Eggers, and
Robert Regester for EEE Ven-
tures, Ltd., Cheryl Crawford, Pace
Theatrical Group in association
with L. A. Center Theatre Group.

Legends! showtimes are

ASC Students at Rolex

by Debbie Strickland

Two of Agnes Scott's premier
tennis players. Jill Owens and
Katie MacMillan. participated in
the Southern Rolex Intercol-
legiate Women's Small College
Tournament at the University of
West Florida in Pensacola on
October 17-18. This regional
tournament drew top players from
colleges such as Emory. Brenau.
and Florida Southern. Katie. Jill,
and Coach Cindy Peterson
traveled to Pensacola the night
before the tournament. Katie was
eliminated in the first round of
singles. Jill in the second, and
they were both eliminated in the
first round of doubles. Both Katie
and Jill are very experienced and
were chosen to represent ASC
because of their superior skills
and dedication to the sport.

Katie, a senior, has been play-
ing for seven years, and although
she lost in the first round, she
enjoyed the opportunity to com-
pete against a formidable chal-
lenger. The tournament provided
a chance to get back into the
"competitive mode" after playing
little during the summer.

Jill stayed in the tournament
through the second round, and
also appreciated .the excellent
competition. Jill, a sophomore,
who has been playing for eight
years, describes herself as a "very
competitive" person, who "likes
setting and meeting goals." This

competitive spirit led her to play
in eight tournaments over the
summer in Oklahoma, her home
state. Of these, she won five,
made it to the finals in two. and
lost one in the semifinals. Her
performance in the Rolex tourna-
ment led to a ranking of 19 in the
area. Katie, due to a job at a
resort, was unable to participate
in any tournaments over the
summer, but she was able to
watch many matches. Like Jill,
Katie enjoys the keen competition

involved in tennis, and she likes
the benefits derived from such
strenuous exercise. And tennis is
a very strenuous sport. As mem-
bers of the tennis team they
practice three times a week for
two hour periods in addition to
playing one or two matches per
week at the meets. Katie and Jill
are looking forward to playing in
similar tournaments in the future,
because such competitive tourna-
ments offer a chance to test
themselves against some of the
best players in the country.

Volleyball Update

by Debbie Strickland

According to Coach McKemie.
the volleyball team's season is
going great." On Thursday, Octo-
ber 23. Agnes Scott went to a
meet at Wesleyan where they lost
their first three games and won
their last two. They lost 15-0 and
15-13 against Mercer, but went on
to win two out of three against
Wesleyan. The team has a ten-

dency to get off to a slow start at
a meet and then improve. This
trend is especially evident in the
Mercer games, in which the team
scored 13 more points in the
second game than it did in the
first.

The team has good servers
and is "enthusiastic about play-
ing." Their greatest strength,
however, is that they are "having
fun together." as they represent
their college.

On Monday. October 27. the
Agnes Scott Kickers faced one of
their most formidable opponents,
the aggressive Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets. With superior
passing skills and an assertive
playing style. Tech dominated the
first half, quickly taking a 2-0 lead,
despite many valiant saves by the
Kickers" goalkeeper. Sharon
Hargraves. Sharon leaped all over
the goal cage, stopping many
fierce goal attempts. "All right.
Sharon!'* reverberated across the
field as the crowd cheered each
masterful save.

In the second half the Kickers
recovered and began crowding
the Tech girls, forcing them to
make mistakes and change their
strategy. The Yellow Jackets
began to overshoot the goal in an
effort to score against Sharon.
They did manage to score three

more goals during the second
half, winning 5-1. but Agnes Scott
tightened its defense considera-
bly, and kept control of the ball for
greater lengths of time. The
Kickers passed more and with
greater accuracy and benefited
from several strong kicks by Sally
Mairs. An important factor in their
comeback was the strong support
of an enthusiastic crowd, that
stimulated their school pride and
competitiveness. Although Geor-
gia Tech won the game, the Agnes
Scott players left the field feeling
very positive about their perfor-
mance against such a tough
team.

Throughout the season, the
Kickers have been improving with
each game. They play both col-
leges and other organizations in
the Decatur/DeKalb YMCA Soc-
cer League. Despite setbacks like
injuries and bad weather, they
feel that their season is progres-
sing satisfactorily

Dr. Hubert Opens Dean's Faculty Lecture Series

by Heather Rogers

The inauguration of the Dean's
Lecture Series occurred at the
November 12 community hour. At
Dean Hall's suggestion, it has
been arranged that certain com-
munity hours will be set aside for
various members of the faculty to
talk in depth about an aspect of
their field.

Dr Linda L. Hubert, Associate
Professor of English, was chosen
to be the first speaker in the
lecture series. Dr. Hubert received

her B.A. from Agnes Scott and her
M A. and Ph.D. from Emory. She
has taught English at Agnes Scott
since 1968.

At the convocation, which was
very well attended by faculty. Dr.
Hubert presented a paper entitled
"Matters of Life or Death: The Art
of Marsha Norman and Walker
Percy.'" Norman, who is an Agnes
Scott alumna, is the author of
'night Mother, a shocking play
about suicide. Percy's novel
Second Coming also deals with
a character contemplating
suicide. Hubert predicted the
audience's grim reaction to the

point of comparison between the
two works suicide rather than
"art," which her title misleads one
to believe. Yet Hubert sees a
relationship between art and
suicide, namely, "the artistic
formulation of imaginary sui-
cides." Hubert asserts that both
writers "invest the portrayals of
their characters' confrontations
with death with the vitality and
significance of art."

Dr. Hubert said that her interest
in literary suicides was not entirely
academic. The viewing of 'night
Mother and the suicide of her
cousin during her sabbatical two

years ago incited her research
into suicide. She was prompted to
compare Norman's 'night Mother
and Percy's Second Coming
two philosophically-oriented,
southern works because of "a
Wednesday/November mood of
existential quandary and inquiry."
Jessie, a middle-aged woman in
Norman's play, and Will in Percy's
novel struggle with the "everyday-
ness" of life and contemplate
suicide. Dr. Hubert paraphrases
Percy by saying that "it. is the
death in life that makes death
itself look good." The stories end
differently, however, with Jessie

saying "yes" to suicide and Will
saying "no."

In her research. Dr. Hubert
traced the history of a society's
acceptance of suicide. In the
Middle Ages, suicide was con-
demned by the Church. During
the Renaissance and Reforma-
tion, with the rediscovery of
classical beliefs, suicide became
tolerated as a way to escape "an
unbearable or dishonored life."
On Shakespeare's stage, suicide
was often inherent to the drama
itself. In the early 1800s. the
literati delighted in "'destructive

Alumnae Success Stories

by Ginger Patton

During community hour on
Wednesday. November 5, the
Career Planning and Placement
Office sponsored a program
entitled. "Class of "85 Women in
Careers Agnes Scott Success
Stories." As listeners filed into
Gaines Auditorium, seven ASC
alumnae settled around a table
on the stage awaiting the upcom-
ing discussion. The program was
conducted in a question and
answer fashion with Bud Gould.
Vice-Chairman of Trust Company
Bank and a member of the ASC
Board of Trustees, serving as
moderator. Mr. Gould asked the
first question, and from that point
on the alumnae spoke freely
about the career challenges they
had experienced since graduation.

Questions ranged from the old
stand-by. "What do you wish you
had done differently 9 " to specific
questions addressing the benefits
of a liberal arts education in
establishing a career.

Unanimously, these women
stressed the importance of in-
ternships. Julie Gilreath. now
anchor for WMGT-TV41 in Macon,
began working in career-related
fields the summer after her
sophomore year. She attributes
much of her success to the fact
that she had quality job experi-
ence before she graduated.

The discussion moved on to
questions and comments con-
cerning the actual interviewing
process. Nancy Patierno, assis-
tant media planner for Ogilvy and
Mather Advertising in New York
City, said that during an interview
it is very important to. "have
confidence and smile a lot." While

being interviewed, many of the
alumnae were asked where they
wanted to be in five years. In order
to answer this question effectively,
as it is a favorite question of most
interviewers, the alumnae
suggested researching the pros-
pective place of employment prior
to interviewing. Through research
a person can learn what the
company can offer in five years,
and thus answer the question in
a more competent manner.

Finally the alumnae were asked
to give words of advice or encour-
agement. Ms. Patierno said to.
"pound the pavement." An em-
ployer will remember your face
long after he has forgotten your
resume. Also. Melanie Lott, Sys-
tems Coordinator for First Na-
tional Bank of Atlanta, stressed
the importance of setting goals
early. Ms. Patierno was in agree-
ment with Ms. Lott and urged

Class of '85 alumnae share career stories during community hour.

students to take a variety of
classes. Ms. Patierno added.
"What you give to ASC deter-
mines what you will get out of it."
After all of the alumnae had given

their words of advice. Ms. Gilreath
concluded the discussion by
saying. "Make the most of every-
thing in college. It's hard work
after you graduate."

EEffTCRI/US

by Maureen McNulty

I would like to address the actions and statements of Reverend
Emmett Herndon on the occasion of the November 11 tabletalk
(please see story, page 5).

I find it rather telling that at the moment of his objection to the
presence of a reporter in the room. Rev. Herndon made immediate
reference to the "student flap" at the previous tabletalk on rape; it
seems that he is primarily concerned with public controversy, not
with a more substantial or fundamental conviction regarding the
presence of students. I will not attempt to justify the privilege and
responsibility of the press to reflect public controversy. I prefer to
assume that we all understand the incredible risks associated with
setting a precedence for a suppressed media. I would like to point
out. however, the glaring oversight in the presumption that the only
voices of dissent were those of students. Certainly enough profes-
sors have expressed their views to remove any doubt of an
exclusively student reaction. I find myself wondering what exactly
it is that Rev. Herndon is lashing out against in his crusade to ban
students from the tabletalks.

The fact is that students do not attend the talks regularly; Profile
reporters attend them occasionally in order that the entire campus
community might benefit from them. Should it be the case that the
faculty desire the talks to be closed to students on the principle
that they would like a strictly faculty/staff function, this is certainly
their privilege. However. I cannot help but look askance at an
outsider who takes it upon himself to make this choice for the college.

Furthermore. I fail to see that a lack of awareness of Eleanor
Richardson or a headcount of those registered to vote has any
bearing on the issue of student attendance at tabletalks. I was
under the impression that we promote an atmosphere of learning
here; those unfamiliar with Richardson and her position within the
Georgia General Assembly would no doubt learn from a brief
newspaper account of her speech. His comments were intended
to ridicule the student body and to steer away from the task which
was put to him namely, to justify his objection to the presence of
students and his hostility in addressing the student reporter. I cannot
understand why Rev. Herndon would choose to be associated with
a college for which he bears such outright contempt.

In closing. I would like to acknowledge the fact that the anger
which touched off the rape controversy stemmed from the personal
convictions of a few members of the community. The attempts to
discredit their statements simply because they might have displayed
some emotion are entirely unjust. One does not pursue a liberal
arts education so that she might discuss the most gut-wrenching
issues of her time with nonchalance. If we become embarrassed
by or fail to recognize emotion which results from personal struggles
with social ills, then we might as well turn out the lights and go
home; we're sitting in the dark anyway.

Advice from Financial Aid Office

Dear Editor:

Often students come to the Financial Aid Office and ask if there
are other sources of financial aid available to them for their
undergraduate work here or for graduate work at other institutions.
There are a number of books in the Reference Section of the Agnes
Scott Library that may be of help to students interested in additional
aid. I would like to tell you about one of these books now and will
follow up with a description of one other publication in the next issue.
Directory of Financial Aids for Women by Gail Ann Schlachter.
printed by Clio Press Ltd.

This book lists both undergraduate and graduate sources. The
Directory is divided into four separate sections:

1) a list of financial aids designed primarily for women

2) a list of state sources of educational benefits

3) a bibliography of directories listing financial aid programs

4) several very useful indexes

1 he most important and lengthiest section is the financial aids
section which includes scholarships, fellowships, loans, grants,
awards, and internships. Each entry under these sections is
completely described giving program title, address of sponsoring
organization, availability, purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration,
special features, limitations, number of awards and application
deadlines.

You will need to set aside an hour at least to browse through this
publication, but you may find a listing that is pertinent to your needs.
Keep in mind that many financial aid sources have requirements
such as ethnic, major, location, group, sorority religious, etc. .
Good luck 1

Women and the Law: 1986

by Marsha Levick

1986 has indeed become the
year for women and the law. The
Supreme Court ruled on a record
number of cases on a range of
women's rights issues: abortion,
affirmative action, sex harass-
ment, pregnancy leave and wage
discrimination. Congressional
lawmakers, through the Economic
Equity Act, a comprehensive
legislative package, have been
considering legislation on pay
equity, child support enforcement,
insurance coverage for former
spouses, and dependent care tax
credit. At the state level, constitu-
tional amendments to oppose
abortions and to include an ERA
continue to be before the voters.
Finally, the nation's law schools
are reporting a record number of
female students.

But not all the news is good. The
Reagan Administration, through a
policy of non-enforcement of the
few programs that have survived,
and a carefully constructed
crusade to roll back a decade's
worth of federal and state laws
originally passed to help women,
has selectively eroded women's
legal rights.

This conservative social
agenda will likely influence deci-
sions by the Supreme Court since
Reagan's recent appointments.
William Rehnquist as Chief Jus-
tice and Antonin Scalia as Associ-
ate Justice, are outspoken oppo-
nents of progressive legislation
for women. The impact of having
Rehnquist and Scalia on the
Court could be so sweeping that
the lives of our daughters and
granddaughters could be at stake.

SUPREME COURT

During the recent Supreme
Court term, the Court gave
feminists reason to claim partial
victory, but more often than not.
these fragile wins could be tempo-
rary at best.

In the first sex harassment case
to reach the Supreme Court, the
justices unanimously ruled that
sex harassment is a form of sex
discrimination and is therefore
illegal under Title VII of the 1964
Civil Rights Act. The Court left

open the question of whether
employers were absolutely liable
for their supervisors' conduct.
Because of this loophole,
feminists have interpreted this
ruling cautiously, realizing that
women could be denied their
rights when the liability issue is
addressed at the lower courts.

In recent affirmative action
decisions, the Court maintained
its standards for affirmative action
policies on race discrimination. A
majority of the Court directly
rejected the administration's fer-
vent pleas that affirmative action
relief be limited to specific,
identified victims of discrimina-
tion. However, the conservative
forces of the Court may prevail in
1987 when it conducts its first
review of affirmative action and
women.

The Justices will soon decide
on a major case involving
women's access to pregnancy
disability leave. In California
Federal Savings and Loan v.
Guerra, the Supreme Court must
decide whether a state law requir-
ing employers to provide up to
four months of unpaid maternity
leave conflicts with the 1978
Pregnancy Discrimination Act
(PDA) which bars employers from
discriminating on account of
pregnancy. The California law is
a throwback to protective labor
laws which operated, in reality,
to limit women's employment
opportunities.

The bank and the administra-
tion want the law to be invalidated
because, they argue, it conflicts
with the PDA. If the Court agrees
with their position, the unfortunate
effect would be to leave employ-
ers with the opportunity to provide
no disability at all for either sex.
On the other hand, the NOW
Legal Defense and Education
Fund and other women's rights
advocates believe that the proper
remedy in this case, assuming
there is a conflict between both
laws, would be to extend the
benefits to all employed men and
women. This policy relates di-
rectly to a bill in Congress which
would require employers to offer
unpaid leave and job security to
both parents. Whatever the out-
come, pregnant workers in eight
other states with similar legisla-
tion could also be affected.

WOMEN IN THE
LEGAL PROFESSION

In the past 15 years, the number
of women attending law school
has increased from nine percent
to 39 percent; the number of
women attorneys has more than
tripled since 1970. However,
despite these numerical in-
creases, women have not been
able to advance in the job market
as rapidly as men. The number of
female appointments to the fed-
eral bench has declined since
Ronald Reagan became presi-
dent in 1980. Women continue to
be overrepresented in the lower-
paying legal occupations, such as
legal aid, public defenders and
family law. while men make up the
vast majority of those who prac-
tice lucrative corporate and tax
aw.

The road to employment and
promotion for women lawyers is
often cluttered with sexist obsta-
cles: a New York Governor's Task
Force study found that female
attorneys were "routinely" de-
meaned and treated patronizingly
by male judges and attorneys.
Aggressive behavior by male
attorneys is rewarded, while
similar actions by female attor-
neys are viewed as being out of
place.

Confronted with the obstacles
of a conservative right agenda
that continues to undermine
women's progress, and a judicial
system that could swing either
way. women's rights gains are
tentative at best. As more and
more legal activity shifts from the
federal to the state level, it is
imperative that more women
become active in the state houses
where much of the women's rights
legislation, such as family law and
educational equity packages, is
being designed. One hopes that,
as more and more women judges
are elected or appointed to the
state courts, their decisions will
reflect an enhanced sensitivity to
sex discrimination.

Ms. Levick is the Executive
Director of the NOW Legal De-
fense and Education Fund. The
NOW Legal Defense and Educa-
tion Fund is releasing its first
book, the NOW LDEF State-by-
State Guide to Women's Legal
Rights, published by (McGraw-

Marijuana Search in Rebekah

by Adlen Walker

On Sunday night, November 9,
a room search was conducted on
the second floor of Rebekah Hall
as a result of several complaints
received by Honor Court Presi-
dent Jackie Stromberg from stu-
dents on the hall who said they
smelled marijuana. Dean Hudson.
Dean Merrick. Rebekah President
Monica Pma. and several mem-
bers of Honor Court and Inter-
dorm participated in the search
while the students were instructed
to go to the lobby until their room
was searched. Jackie explained
to them that the search was for
marijuana only, and that if any-
thing else were found (ie.. alcohol
or other drugs) no charges would
be pressed. No illegal substances
were found, and some concluded
that the strange smell came from
herbal cigarettes.

Student reactions to the room
search varied considerably. Some
students on the hall said the
search was justified. Jennifer

Spurlin. senior, said she did not
feel her rights had been violated
and that the search was a neces-
sary part of the procedure.

Laurel Steger, freshman, felt
differently. Laurel felt she was
treated unfairly. Laurel and her
roommate were present while two
students thoroughly searched
their possessions. These student
searchers were not able to identify
several herbs which they found.
These 'alien" substances were
confiscated, taken to Public
Safety, and identified as harmless
herbs and seeds. "It was a horribly
degrading experience," Laurel
said: "... even though I knew I
was completely innocent, I was
very nervous."

Laurel was critical of what she
viewed as a violation of student
honor. She explained, "We made
a pledge to ourselves and to the
school to be honest, but no one
ever even asked us what the smell
was!" Some thought that the
source of the smell was Laurel's
Ginseng cigarettes; other stu-
dents insisted they had smelled
marijuana. After the search,

another student told Laurel that
she could no longer smoke Gin-
sengs, which are legal and sold
over the counter, because the
smell bothered other students.

Other students expressed
anger with the handling of the
search. Dara Davis, a senior,
questioned the rights of the deans
and the student organizations to
instigate the search of a student's
room, the conducting of a search
on the basis of accusation, and
the appropriateness of students
actually participating in the
search. "We should attack the
problem not the people," she
said.

Alene Schuster, also a senior,
added. "It is ridiculous to think
students smoke marijuana in their
rooms. Do they really think any-
one is that stupid 9 "

The grounds upon which a
room can be searched are un-
clear. Among the questions raised
by the incident are those which
concern the bounds of student
privacy, the weight of accusation,
and compensations to those
unjustly accused.

Philosophical Society Meets at ASC

by Louisa Parker

The Georgia Philosophical
Society held one of its tri-annualar
meetings at Agnes Scott on
November 1. Organized in the
1940s, the Georgia Philosophical
Society is generally made up of
teachers of philosophy of colleges
and universities around the state,
although being a professor is not
a membership requirement. Each
year, the Society holds one
meeting in which a visiting
scholar, sponsored by the Univer-
sity Center in Georgia, speaks
and holds two other meetings

where members of the Society
read papers.

At the November 1 meeting,
three papers were read. Professor
Robert Almeder from Georgia
State University spoke on
"Realism and the HistoricistTurn."
and Emory professor Rudolf
Makkreds paper concerned "Her-
meneutics and the Limits of
Consciousness." Professor Ber-
nard Dauenhauer from the Univer-
sity of Georgia talked about
"Freedom and Institutions."

Agnes Scott's own philosophi-
cal society, the Phi Sigma Tau
Association scheduled a discus-
sion/debate on pornography and
censorship for November 20 at

ASC. At this joint meeting with
Emory's Phi Sigma Tau group, the
recent efforts of women's coali-
tions to come up with new pornog-
raphy laws were to have been
discussed. These women's posi-
tion is that pornography should
be outlawed because it incites
people to commit violence against
women; therefore, pornography
is a question of public safety, not
of freedom of expression. The
courts' classic argument is that
pornography is freedom of ex-
pression. The courts also ask the
questions: "What distinguishes
great literature from pornographic
material?" and "Where does one
draw the line 9 "

Police Give Rape Prevention Advice

by Adlen A. Walker

On Monday. November 3rd.
Annette Childs of the Agnes Scott
Police Department and Officer
Alberta Nelson of the Decatur
Police Department showed a film
and gave a lecture on rape
prevention. The film offered help-
ful information on self-defense.

safety tips, and on what to do if
you are raped.

After the film, Officer Nelson
talked about the police proce-
dures following a rape. She also
warned against feeling totally
"safe" anywhere - even at Agnes
Scott. She stressed the buddy-
system especially when jogging.
She said that if you must jog
alone, alternate the times, and
never jog in the early morning or

after dark. Officer Annette Childs
encouraged students who might
feel awkward about talking to ASC
male police officers to call her at
home.

Remember that public safety
does not have security guards but
trained police officers here to
protect you. They can not go jog-
ging with you, so use your common
sense and remember to always
be aware of your surroundings.

Faculty Discuss Elections '86

by Gina Greely

On Tuesday, November 11.
several faculty members and
guest speakers participated in an
"Open Discussion of Elections
'86": Gus Cochran. Kathy Scott,
Sally Davenport, former faculty
member Steve Hayworth, and
guest speaker, Ed Scholl.

Gus Cochran discussed proba-
ble causes of the strong Demo-
cratic showing in the elections of
'86. Two of the possibilities
Cochran gave for the election
outcomes were public dissatisfac-
tion with big business and the
return of a "Solid South." He feels
the Democratic showing is a
revolutionary event and referred
to a possible "repudiation of the
radical Right." He went on to say
that of the sixteen Republican
senators who came into office
with Reagan, seven of them "bit
the dust." Cochran also noted the
incredible $400 million expendi-
ture spent on congressional
campaigns. He believes extrava-
gant spending hurt more than
helped the candidates, a result
which he called the "big bucks
backslash." Cochran is glad
"money and thirty second spots"
don't make elections. He says
there seems to be a resurgence
of "grass roots politics" and
general "thumbs down" to nega-
tive campaigning.

Sally Davenport made general
comments about the election. She
began by saying these elections
have been called the "voters'
rebuff of Reagan, the end of the
Reagan Revolution, and the
resurgence of the Democrats."
This was the year of the television
ad and negative campaigning,
she said. Along with the preceed-
ing characteristics went a "theme-
less" or issueless campaign.
Davenport said local issues
played a very important role in '86
elections, and "high tech" cam-
paigns were not popular with
voters. Dr. Davenport commented
on the high campaign spending,
especially in the Republican
Party. "There is some kind of
rebellion . . . (they) don't like all
this money floating around, all
this slick advertising."

One very evident and disturbing
trend Davenport noted was low
voter turn out, despite increased
registration. Most voters were
older and students had a very low
turn out as a whole. Low voter
turn out could, in Davenport's
opinion, be attributed to public
disenchantment with "mud-
slinging" techniques employed in
these elections. She also noted
that the President's party lost only
six seats, which is lower than
normal. Usually more seats are
lost in a congressional election
which takes place in the sixth year
of a president's term.

Kathy Scott discussed the
possible impact the election
results will have on foreign policy.
Three of the possible changes
are: 1) halt of Contra aid, 2)
increase aid to front line states in
Africa, 3) use of the Strategic
Defense Initiative or SDI as a
bargaining chip in negotiations
with the Soviets.

She feels Contra aid may be
halted because the original vote
on the issue was a marginal win
for Reagan. Another important
factor, Scott explained, is that
many committee chairs will go to
Democrats, who are critical of
Reagan and his policies. She
continued with other reasons for
suspected change in foreign policy.

Dr. Scott said ultimately,
however, there will probably be
minimal changes due to Reagan's
popularity. The fact that the new
chairmen have conservative
ideas about foreign policy will also
have an effect.

Ed Scholl, an Emory Ph.D.,
joined the discussion. Scholl is an
administrative Systems Analyst
with the U.S. Court of Appeals.
He discussed European concerns
and speculations associated with
the congressional elections.
Europe is concerned with U.S.
protectionism and resulting trade
wars.

Steve Hayworth, a former
faculty member at ASC, dis-
cussed the upcoming '88 elections.

romantic passions" as in Goethe's
writings. In the late nineteenth
century, suicide was used to
escape from a society's restric-
tions or punishment such as
Tolstoy's Anna Karenina or ibsen's
Hedda Gabler. The iiterary
suicides in the twentieth century
are caused by tangible failures,
as in the case of Miller's Willy
Loman, who can not reach finan-
cial success, or by excessive
idealism, as in Faulkner's Quentin
Compson.

The suicidal characters in 'night
Mother and Second Coming do
not follow a pattern for other
literary suicidal characters. As
Hubert notes, Jessie and Will do
not have "grand motives" or
"ascertainable causes." yet these
characters somehow reached the
conclusion that life is no longer
worth living. Although Jessie and
Will eventually chose different
paths. Dr. Hubert comments that
"both works . . . encourage us to
value our lives and invest them
with daily if small significances."

by Katie Hager

We want to see more of our
men! Three weeks ago. over 250
parietal surveys were turned into
Margaret Hamm, President of
Interdorm. The two main requests
concerning panetals were that we
have 2 weeknights for male
visitors and extended hours on
Friday and Saturday nights from
12:00-2:00 a.m.

These changes will require a
hostess on duty for two more
hours on those nights.

Another survey is being pre-
pared to see how students feel
about the added responsibilities
which will arise with the extended
hours.

This survey about parietals will
not have any immediate effects,
but it is a definite voice of attitudes
about having men, including
brothers, fathers, and friends, visit
our dormitories.

"Crucial Issues Before the 1987

Adlen, who approached Ms.

and was granted permission to
report on the session, was ab-

Ms. Richardson approached
Adlen after the tabletalk to ex-
press her regrets that she was not
permitted to attend.

Dr. Gail Cabisius, who was
present when Rev Herndon made
his remarks to Adlen. asked him
if the matter of the presence of
students at the tabletalk sessions
could be discussed by the group.
In a manner Dr. Cabisius termed
"pre-emptory" and "rude," Rev.
Herndon refused to open the

Humor

How 'Bout the Semester?

by Claudette Cohen

Remember?

Do you remember what you
were doing this time last year?
You might have collapsed, breath-
less after cramming information
from four classes into your short-
term memory and then spouting
it all back out on the finals.

Those were the days of the
quarter system, when you didn't
have to wrestle with the same
intellectual dilemma day after day.
Still on Chapter 11 ? And the main
character still hasn't decided
whether to kill herself or ride off
into the sunset with her man? And
how long can you talk about
superlatives in French 7 Do you
realize, people, that if this were a
quarter you would have been
done with those classes by now?

Instead, we have barely gotten
over mid-terms. Pardon me.
There is apparently no such
animal as a mid-term in a semes-
ter. It is a two-thirds term. This
means we have one-third of a
semester to go before break. If
you want to know how much time
that is translated into the quarter
system, go ask Pythagoras. And
while you're at it. please ask him
to translate my hours from quarter
to semester to quarter and back,
because I have to know which
time-zone I'm in to graduate: (1)
the time-zone in the catalog. (2)
the time-zone in the student
information bulletin. OR (3) the
time-zone in the fifth dimension.
Dementia, it is. my fellow stu-
dents. Dementia.

The Lost Quarter

I did not understand the semes-
ter system until I tried to drop a
class. I was thinking that I had two
other parts of the year in which to
make it up. Some kind souls
explained to me that if I wanted
to graduate. I would need not only
the class I wanted to drop, but
another one in the winter, on top
of my 'regular' load. That's when
it dawned on me. There would be
no third quarter.

For those of you who are as
inept at time as I am. here is an
explanation of what somebody
upstairs did with the third quarter:
imagine three equal pieces of
bubblegum This is a year quar-
terstyle Take the third piece and

cut it in half. Now put one half of
this third piece into each of the
other two pieces. These two
lengthened pieces of bubblegum
are each semesters. And that is
the semester year, and that is
what happened to the lost little
third quarter.

But just in case my mathemati-
cal ability really does (as I'm
convinced it does) belong to some
fifth dimension, ask someone in
authority like a dean. You might
be enlightened or you might
become even more hopelessly
baffled. You will realize you're not
alone when you see those exas-
perated looks on the deans' faces.

Survey

I asked some of you whether
you prefer the quarter or semester
system and why. Most of you said
that it really doesn't matter,
because school is gruelling no
matter how you slice it. Some of
you said that you miss the quarter
system because you would like to
have finished those classes by
now. Some of you said that you
feel less rushed in the semester
system and pointed out that now
professors are more gracious in
postponing tests and papers.
Thus. I gathered that, as in
everything, there are good and
bad sides to both systems.

The Good Side

Since we're stuck with the
semester system for quite a while
now. you die-hard quarter fans
might as well look at some good
points about it. You just might be
less rushed. You certainly have
more time to think about your
papers. (We won't mention the
dread.)

Also, if you're actually inter-
ested in a class (heaven forbid),
what is the matter with spending
more time on intellectual inter-
ests? Maybe, instead of just
touching on how the main charac-
ter killed herself, you now have
time to get a grasp on why
something rarely allowed on the
quarter system. And if you really
want some of this information to
stay with you. the semester
system permits more than just
cramming it into your short-term
memory and spouting it right back
out. Who knows 9 You just might
come out of here with an educa-
tion after all.

One of the special characteris-
tics of a liberal arts education is
the desire to learn more about
and be more aware of our world.
The convocation sponsored by
Chimo on October 29 provided
students an opportunity to be
exposed to this aspect of our
education. The new international
students at Agnes Scott spoke
about themselves and theircoun-
tries.

"Now lie back and enjoy the
world as it turns" invited Chimo
president Hong Kin Saw after
introducing the speakers. The
countries represented at the
convocation were Pakistan.
Japan. Turkey, and India.

The first student to speak was
Amna Jaffer from Karachi. Paki-
stan. Amna came to the United
States to receive a liberal arts
education. She spoke about the
diverse geographical features of
Pakistan. "One can enjoy not only
the beaches, green fields, valleys
surrounded by green trees, but
also experience the rough, rugged,
and bare beauty of the deserts."
Her experience in the United
States has so far been an enrich-
ing and informative one.

Her speech was followed by
Elizabeth Jusuf from Jakarta.
Indonesia. Elizabeth came to
Agnes Scott after an extensive
English course at Adelphi Univer-
sity in Buffalo. New York.
Elizabeth has two brothers and
one sister. Her father is a primary

school teacher and her mother is
a housewife. Elizabeth spoke
about the difficulty she had
learning English and how it
affected her life as a student in
the United States.

Hiromi Wazawa. from Tokyo.
Japan spoke about experiences
similar to those of Elizabeth.
Hiromi's family plans to visit her
in the United States and is in the
process of learning English. She
enjoys being in this country
except for one great problem-the
lack of availability of Japanese
food!

Evren Dagdalen is from Istan-
bul. Turkey. She is an only child
and found out about Agnes Scott
from an uncle who lives in Atlanta.
Evren hopes to be an international
relations major. She believes that
coming to the United States will
enhance her studies of interna-
tional relations and provide her
with an opportunity to meet
people from all over the world.

Zeynep Yalim is also a student
from Istanbul. Turkey. Zeynep
stated that October 29. the day of
the convocation, was the sixty-
third anniversary of the Turkish
Republic. "Even as I speak,
across the miles, my country is
celebrating the most important
moment in Turkish history the
eradication of the Ottomon Em-
. pire and the birthday of theTurkish
Republic." Zeynap said. Zeynep
plans to major in economics and
psychology.

Zeynep was followed by Maya
Misra who is from a town called
Darbanga. near Calcutta, in
northeast India. Before Maya

came to the United States, two
years ago, she did not speak any
English. Maya shared with the
audience some amusing stories
about her experiences at J.F.K.
airport in New York. Maya also
spoke about the educational
systems in India.

Following the speeches, Maya
Misra performed a solo Indian
classical dance. Maya was dressed
in a stunning emerald green and
red costume and performed part
of a dance called. "Kathak." a
dance that expresses the feelings
and attitudes of the Indian people
towards the seasons of the year.

The final event of the convoca-
tion was a Pakistani folk dance
performed by six Chimo mem-
bers. The dancers were. Amna
Jaffer, Claire Armistead. Nela
Nanayakara, Traci Johnson, Mini
Abraham, and Anita Irani. The
dance was called "Luddi." and it
originated in the rural fields of
Pakistan with the local villagers.
In modern Pakistan, it is per-
formed at weddings. The dancers
were dressed in the traditional
Pakistani costume called "shal-
war Kammeez."

The convocation was one of
several events that Chimo has
planned for the year. The most
recent event on the club's agenda
was a fireside chat, which was
held on November 19. in Winship
lobby. Chimo is an organization
that seeks to promote multicul-
tural awareness on our campus.
The club has over thirty members
and sponsors a wide variety of
events. Membership in Chimo is
open to both International and
American students.

Senate Race: The Students' Views

by Sarah Copenhaver

The 1986 Senate race has
come to the forefront of the news
due to the fact that the control of
the Senate was at stake under an
extremely popular President. The
results are in. with the Democrats
having the majority in the House
and the Senate, and now the
debate concerns the interpreta-
tions and implications of this
election. Professor Davenport
says there is now a "struggle to
characterize what happened."

There were 35 Senate races, of
which the Democrats needed to
win 16 and the Republicans 19 for
either to gain a majority in the
Senate. Before the race, there
were 53 Republicans and 47
Democrats in the Senate, and
after the elections, there were 55
Democrats and 45 Republicans.
Reagan appeared to have had
coattails in 1980. but not in 1986.

In the Political Science Depart-
ment's "Open Discussion of Elec-
tions '86." Gus Cochran. Kathy
Scott and Sally Davenport pre-
sented their interpretations of the
Senate elections and their impact
(see story, page 1).

Reagan hit the campaign trail
m the hopes that his popularity
would help the Republicans keep
their slim majority, but the citizens

were more concerned with his
programs. For example. Reagan
made three appearances in North
Carolina, considered one of the
key races in the South, only to
have Stanford (D) win with 52%
of the votes. In South Dakota, a
previously Republican strong-
hold, the votes went to a Demo-
crat because the farmers were
suffering from Reagan's farm
policy. Holly Parker ('90) said, "it
was interesting that even though
Reagan made all those visits, like
for Mattingly. most of those
Republicans lost. I don't think it
was wise for Mattingly to say Vote
for me like you would vote for
Reagan.'" Mayor Andrew Young
also made the comment, on the
day of the elections, that, "the
President's popularity has not
transferred to his candidates."

Plenty of the S400-450 million
campaign budget was spent on
negative campaigning, with the
issue being a candidate's integrity
or past performance in office. The
reason for so much mud-slinging
was the lack of issues, nationally
or locally I can sympathize with
several other students" opinions.
Shelly Trabue ('88) said. Those
were the dirtiest campaigns I've
ever seen. They made me not
want to vote because they [Mat-
tingly and Fowler] had to go so
low." Beth Leonard ('88) sad.

90S A

"Because of all the false informa-
tion (between Mattingly and
Fowler) I didn't know which way
to vote . . . which candidate to
believe!" People did not have any
issues to go on, so it came down
to whether they favored Reagan's
policies or not.

Another explanation for the
turnover in the Senate was some-
thing called the "six year itch " As
with Eisenhower, when a Presi-
dent has been in office for 6
consecutive years and his own
party has the majority there tends
to be a shift in elections to the
opposition party.

The impact of these election
results may be large or small.
Senator Sam Nunn feels there
may be more visible confronta-
tions over issues such as the
budget deficit. Contra aid. and
SDI, and that so far Reagan has
controlled the agenda, but the
Democrats are rolling up their
sleeves.

Cathy Cook ("87) looked at the
Democratic control of the Senate

College Bowl Competition

Growing up and developing
one's own ideas and priorities is
often a difficult task. The different
aspects of one's life may assume
varying importance as develop-
mental stages are approached
and finally passed. Reflection on
these changes is often a healthy
experience, as well as a difficult
one. Subjects such as religion
and ones development of or
digression from religious practice
often become touchy with young
people during periods of transi-
tion. Agnes Scott students are no
exception and appeared some-
what uneasy when questioned
about the affect religion has in
their lives and how their religious
beliefs have changed while at
Agnes Scott. After some deep
thought, several students volun-
teered their experiences and
opinions.

Carol Valentine, a Senior, re-
lated. "When I first came to
A.S.C.. I met people who went to
church every Sunday back home
and, they exposed me to activities
like Bible Study Groups. It peaked
my interest in religion and main-
taining some sort of spiritual life."
Carol went on to say "I feel I've
defined my beliefs over the past
four years here because of expo-
sure to different beliefs and the
course I took in Bible and Reli-
gion. I even continued my reli-
gious activities when I went to
Sussex. They had a group that
got together and listened to a
variety of lectures on religion."

Several Freshmen shared the
changes that came about in their
religious practices upon entering
Agnes Scott. Frances Scrivener
asserted that her beliefs hadn't
changed much, but. "I've been so

busy over the last few months that
the religious part of my life has
been toned down. It's funny. I feel
a need for religion in my life now
more than ever because of all the
pressures, but that's not how it's
been." Shaye Monroe, originally
from Macon, said, "When-I was at
home, I went to church on a
regular basis; since I've come to
school, I haven't been at all.
Usually I sleep in on Sundays
because I really need the extra
rest." Katie Patillo. unlike most
students, lives close enough to
home so that she can attend
church on occasion. Her experi-
ence at Agnes Scott has been-
increased exposure to religions
other than her own. Katie says,
"One of my friends is Catholic,
and my being Baptist has gener-
ated a lot of discussions about the
two (religions)." Katie said she
found it interesting to compare
and contrast different religions
with her friends and neighbors.

Mary Ruth Oliver explained
how college affected her religious
beliefs in that college life had
given her a great deal more
freedom and. in turn, changed her
social life. "I'm a lot less devout
than when I was in high school
because the time I presently
spend studying usually would
have gone in part to reading my
bible. I still find comfort in God.
though, when I have a really bad
day here."

Some students seem to make
time for religion even though it's
difficult to do so. Laurie Adams
feels religion plays a big role in
her life. She explained that "I look
at my Christianity as a personal
relationship and not as a set of
rules. I don't feel guilty about
going out and enjoying myself
while I'm in college. I definitely
think my faith has been tested
here, and I've had to question my

faith at times, but seeking for
deeper understanding of my
beliefs has made my faith
stronger." Amy Bailey, who feels
religion hasn't really affected her
life tremendously while at Agnes
Scott, still maintains that her
beliefs have deepened while
going to school here. "In part,
they've deepened because of
some family experiences I've had
during school, but mainly because
I've come into contact with a
variety of people representing all
types of religious beliefs and
extremes."

Eun Joo Yang explained her
ideas on the subject of religion in
such a way as to summarize what
many students were often too
afraid to say. "I think college life
is difficult because there is always
so much academic pressure and
such a heavy workload that it
becomes very hard to be consis-
tent in practicing your religious
beliefs. Aside from academics,
other factors come into play like
maintaining your social life. And
when you're in a dorm with people
of varying beliefs it tends to make
you change and modify your
beliefs." She concluded that
development and digression from
religion occurred according to
each individual's experiences and
group of friends.

Religion is an aspect of most
people's lives that ebbs and flows.
The comments that students
made showed a genuine concern
with some sort of spiritual life.
However, this concern was also
mixed with apprehension about
the placement of religion among
the required priorities of school-
work and the desired priorities of
a social life. It seems that religion
on Agnes Scott's campus will
continue to be a thought provok-
ing subject, and one that helps
each student grapple with her
individual development.

While Caroline Lewis. Carol
Ashmore, and Dot Markert were
enjoying the baskets of candy and
fruit that they won in the College
Bowl Halloween raffle, eight
members of the Agnes Scott
College Bowl team were traveling
to Berry College in Rome. Geor-
gia, to participate in a tournament
with other teams from colleges all
over the Southeast.

The tournament is called the
Earlybird because most College
Bowl tournaments in this region
occur in the winter and early
spring. Agnes Scott took two
teams, captained by Angela Tonn
and Pramoda Rao. Angela's team
included Daphne Burt. Ginny
Rosenberg, and Angie Howard.
Pramoda's team members were
Liliana Perez. Marjo Dobbs. and
Dana Knight.

Both teams did very well.

by Kimberly Lamkin

By now, everyone knows of the
wonderful international students
we have on campus and hopefully
has done her best to make them
feel welcome and comfortable.
One of these international students
is Lizbeth Jusef from Indonesia.

How is social life different in
Indonesia than it is here in the
- U.S. and at ASC? Lizbeth said
that teenagers in Indonesia go to
various public centers where they
find entertainment. They have
parks such as Six Flags, and
many of these places remain
open until midnight.

Dating in Indonesia is virtually
the same as in the U.S. The
couple may go to a movie, a party,
or a dinner. She said overall that
the types of entertainment are
almost the same, but in the U.S.
there are more choices.

According to Lizbeth. it is
customary for an entire Indone-
sian family to live together in one
house, and the children usually
do not leave home until they get
married. Lizbeth noticed that
American teenagers have more
freedoms with their parents. In

Angela's team improved last
year's record by four wins.
Pramoda's team lost some rounds
on the last question but managed
to beat Angela's team by answer-
ing the final question. A few
members of the team had an
early practice on Friday at the
Halloween Community Hour
Games when they played Presi-
dent Schmidt, Dr. Malady. Dr.
Calvert Johnson, and Rob Thies.
The student team proved to know
more about Halloween trivia, but
all participants were given a prize.

Next semester, the team will
compete in the Juniorbird tourna-
ment, which consists of teams of
freshman and sophomores only.
The regional tournament will take
place in February and the team
also plans to attend the Allen
Luden Tournament held at Auburn
University. The team practices
twice a week, on Monday and
Wednesday, to prepare. Dr. Leon
Venable is the team's faculty
sponsor.

Indonesia, the children must
constantly watch their words and
be very, very polite in the pres-
ence of elders.

She explained that colleges are
very different also. Indonesian
colleges have only classrooms. In
other words, they usually do not
have libraries or laboratories.
Those colleges which do have
these facilities are very limited in
books and equipment.

Lizbeth estimates the options
for women in Indonesia to be
similar to ours in the US. but
while American women strive for
the best in the business world.
Indonesian women think first of
their homes and responsibilities
as mothers. They do have the
freedom to do what they want, but
most of them remain housewives.

And finally how do Indonesian
teenagers view America 9 They
think of U.S. teenagers as having
more independence and freedom.
They think Americans are very
creative, but that the families are
not as close-knit as those in
Indonesia.

Lizbeth discovered ASC in a
book on U.S. scholarships. When
asked if she enjoys life at ASC.
she responded enthusiastically. "I
love it'"

Director Gives Profile of an RTC

by Marilynn Mallory
Director of RTC Program

Who are the RTCs? Where do
they come from 9 Why are they
here 7 And what do they do when
they leave 9 Whether you are a
freshman, sophomore, or upper-
classwoman. a member of the
faculty or a part of the staff, you
may have noticed the growing
number of older students on
campus and asked yourself these
questions.

In one sense these questions
are easy to answer, because there
is such a thing as the "typical"
RTC. She is 38 years old: is
married to a professional: has two
children ages 12 and 14; lives in
suburban DeKalb county; works
part time: attended college in the
1960s for a year and a half:
returned to school after an eigh-
teen year absence from the
classroom: and attends Agnes
Scott part-time. Half the RTCs
enrolled "fit" this profile, give and
take a few years or a few kids,
and the profile is representative of
adult students in comparable re-
entry programs at colleges and
universities all over the country.

The profile, useful as it is to
gain the picture of the RTC group
as a whole, nevertheless over-
looks the rich diversity of the RTC
population. Looking at individuals
within the program, you would
discover that:

RTCs actually range in age
from 23-79. Ten percent, mostly
in their twenties and early thirties,
are single. Anothertwenty percent
are divorced.

RTC families contain as few as
one child, as many as six, and
may include infants as well as
small children.

RTCs live as far north as
Roswell, as far west as Marietta,
as far south as Riverdale, and as
far east as Conyers.

When they are not studying,
RTCs are engaged in a varied
array of jobs. Five RTCs work for
other area colleges - in admis-
sions, in scientific research, in the
medical school, and in publica-
tions. Four teach - in preschool,
kindergarten, and in the church.
Two work with international stu-
dents assisting them with living
arrangements and academic
adjustments. Five own and oper-
ate their own businesses, which
include real estate, personnel
services, graphic art and counsel-
ing. There are writers, regularly
producing material for newspa-
pers, magazines and interna-
tional journals. Five serve their
local churches as minister or
missionary. Four work as lab
techs in medical and veterinary
labs.

An RTCs first semester is often
the most challenging because it
requires so many adjustments:
balancing school with home and
work life, relearning study skills
that have lain unused for more
than a decade, coping with stress
added to already busy lives. For
these reasons. RTCs usually
begin their Agnes Scott experi-
ences with part-time schedules
By the time they've gotten a few

courses under their belts, how-
ever, they eagerly increase their
course loads. By the time they
choose majors, many RTCs are
already attending fulltime.

Of the majors RTCs choose,
Art and English are the over-
whelming favorites. Twenty per-
cent of the RTCs major in these
two areas. The rest are sprinkled
into all the other academic disci-
plines, with clusters in Bible.
History and Biology.

RTCs come to Agnes Scott with
many of the same aspirations of
their younger counterparts. They
are drawn by Agnes Scott's
academic reputation and caring

atmosphere. They seek an educa-
tion that will change their lives,
opening doors to career oppor-
tunities that have heretofore been
denied them and opening their
minds to exciting new ideas.

After graduation. RTCs life-
styles are richly diverse. Some
focus on family and the process
of raising children. Many turn to
teaching-which seems especially
attractive to women who have
already raised children on their
own. Many go on to graduate
school. A recent survey of the
RTC graduates revealed the
following potpourri of careers:

counselor to cancer patients,
masters candidate at Smith in
clinical social work, studio potter,
doctoral candidate at Bryn Mawr
in Anthropology, small business
adviser, director of the. Carter
Center, lawyer, medical sales
representative, freelance writer.
Youth Services Curator of the
Atlanta Historical Society,
magazine editor. Although their
ages may initially set them apart
on campus, they are the kind of
women who have always distin-
guished Agnes Scott - bright,
capable and eager to make a
contribution to the society in which
they live.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO
CALL YOUR BOYFRIEND?

a) When the president of Phi Gamma Delta
asks you to Saturday night's Fiji Formal.

b) After raquetball class, to tell him that the
instructor with the Australian accent and
those blue eyes did wonders for your serve.

c) When you just feel like telling him you
miss him after all.

Maybe you shouldn't tell him everything that's going on. But
if you still care about him, why not call and whisper some sweet
things he'll never forget '. }

Like why you call using AT&T Long Distance Ser-
vice, and why you trust AT&T's high quality service
and exceptional value.

When you tell him that AT&T gives you immedi-
ate credit if you dial a wrong number, he won't
be able to get you out of his mind.

And telling him you can count on
AT&T for clear, long distancf
connections will drive
him crazy.
All of which will prob
ably inspire him to drive
out for the weekend, giving
you an excuse to blow off
that silly frat party after all

AT&T

The right choice.

The Atlanta Ballet's Coppelia Deemed a Success

by Rebecca Bradley

"Agnes Scott Night at The
Atlanta Ballet" proved to be an
exciting success. The company
performed Coppelia, choreo-
graphed by Dennis Nahat, which
was a 1986 Atlanta premiere.

The ballet unfolded the quaint
and humorous story of Dr.
Coppelius' toy doll, Coppelia. and
two young lovers, Swanilda,
played by Maniya Barredo, and
Franz, played by Nicolas Picana.
The presence of Tom Pazik as Dr.
Coppelius was delightfully humor-
ous. Maniya Barredo and Nicolas
Picana comically played off one
another in the first act and
revealed a glimmer of the talent
which really shone through in the
final act.

The second act in Dr. Coppelius'
shop opened with many laughs
over Swanilda and her four
friends, performed by Anne Finch,
Mia Monica, Maiqui Manosa, and
Leslie Hughes. Ms. Monica drew
special attention with her adora-
ble uneasiness in the mysterious

toy shop. Ms. Barredo displayed
her diverse talent in this scene
with her depiction of a mechanical
doll and the national dances of
countries around the world.

The final act made the ballet's
success. The wedding scene was
beautiful and set the perfect mood
for the incredible dancing to
follow. Barredo and Picana
opened with a rich and romantic
pas de.deux. Ms. Barredo held
one balance that took the audi-
ence's breath away. The solos
proved equally outstanding. Mr.
Picanas elevation seemed to be
the greatest he has performed.
He was accompanied by four men
from the company who were also
quite impressive. One student
noted that one of the men, Tom
Shoemaker, showed much im-
provement in his technique and
expressed an interest in seeing
him featured.

The finale brought the house
down with both Barredo's and
Picana's famous abilities for
turning. The performance closed
with an instant standing ovation
of cheers from the audience. The
night at the Atlanta Ballet was
stupendous.

Maniya Barredo and Tom Pazik play Swanilda and Dr. Coppelius in Coppelia.

Swingle Singers to
Treat College with
Their Music

World-wide masters of scat, the
Swingle Singers, will display their
vocal prowess in concert at Agnes
Scott College on December 2 at
8:15 p.m. The performance, which
is open to the public, will be held
in Presser Hall. Ticket reserva-
tions are recommended.

The Swingle Singers turn music
from Mozart to the Beatles into
intricate, intriguing vocal displays,
applying impeccable technique
and precise harmony to an as-
tonishing array of musical selec-
tions. Trained in the great British
choral tradition, the eight vocalists
sing Bach the way it was meant
to be played, making human
voices sound like an orchestra.
With a style drawn from Early
English music, Big Band Jazz and
their classical backgrounds, the
Swingle Singers transcend musi-
cal boundaries, blending styles
and genre as smoothly as their
own voices.

The group was formed by
Alabama-bred Ward Swingle in
the 1960's with a repertoire of
classical baroque. When the Pans-
based ensemble disbanded,
he moved to London and brought
together a new double quartet
after auditioning more than 80
vocalists. Drawing from the jazz
greats, adding his classical train-
ing and extracting from the style
of the original group. Ward
Swingle introduced a new sound.
The experiment worked, and
audiences have been roaring their
approval ever since.

The Agnes Scott performance
will feature an American Tribute
for the first half of the program,
with the second half containing
favorite Swingles arrangements
of Christmas classics both con-
temporary and traditional. Tickets
are $9, general admission, and
$6 for students. For concert
information, call 371-6430.

ACTS AN ID IEN1I1EICTAII NMIENY

Richard Harris Brings His
Camelot Kingdom to the Fox

by Rebecca Bradley

The legendary Richard Harris
appeared as King Arthur in Lerner
and Loewes musical Camelot
which ran November 4 through 9
at the Fox Theatre. Camelot is the
story of King Arthur's torment over
the absurd concept of war as he
becomes involved in battle
against his closest friend. Sir
Lancelot du Lac who was played
by Patrick Godfrey, over the
beguiling Queen Guenevere.
played by Martha Traverse.

Casting of this touring company
was tremendous. Merlyn the
magician, played by James
Valentine, created a wonderous
enchantment in the theatre with

his humorous philosophical ad-
vice for Arthur and his man-
nerisms. As King Pellinore. one
of Arthur's confidants. James
Valentine nearly stole the show
with his comic relief and all too
human characteristics.

The voices of Patnk Godfrey
and Martha Traverse delighted
everyone. "If Ever I Would Leave
You'' touched the audience with
Mr. Godfrey's strong, clear
baritone voice. The play reached
a climax when both Traverse and
Godfrey sang 'I Loved You Once
in Silence." They complimented
one another beautifully while
piercing the heart with their
emo'ional portrayal of Guenevere
and Lancelot. The drama
heightened throughout the play.

And what of King Arthur? What
is left for Richard Harris to add to

an already incredible drama? Mr.
Harris brought the legend to life,
for he is King Arthur. The audience
was completely captivated every
moment he was on stage. He
made King Arthur a man with
pride and love for all humanity
and convincingly portrayed the
torment he suffered from thinking
justly and selflessly.

The closing of the play revealed
Mr. Harris' true magnetism when
as King Arthur he realized that
his struggle with morality and
absolution of war has been
successful. In the final scene as
he made this discovery with the
help of a young boy. King Arthur
brought the audience to tears of
joy for the triumph they shared
with the ever so real King Arthur
and his kingdom of "Camelot."

New Drama Confronts Homelessness

Art Works, an arts festival by and
for the homeless, proudly pre-
sents the Academy Theatre's
People of the Brick, an original
drama developed and performed
by eight homeless Atlantans
under the direction of Academy's
Human Service Programs Coor-
dinator Barbara Lebow and Resi-
dent Company actor Kenny Leon.
The play, which focuses on the
participants' actual experiences
of homelessness, will be pre-
sented on the Academy
mamstage December 3 - 6 at 8
p.m. Sponsored by the Fulton
County Arts Council. People of
the Brick will help to alleviate
homelessness and hunger in
Atlanta and support further
Academy Theatre Human Service
Programs. Tickets are S10 and
may be purchased by calling the
Academy Theatre at 892-0880.

According to Anita Beaty. coor-
dinator of Art Works and staff
member for the Task Force for the
Homeless. People of the Brick is
a unique undertaking. "We know
of no other project like this
anywhere in the country." People
of the Brick was conceived as an
opportunity for the homeless to
speak for themselves on the
complex issues of homelessness
and to dispel many of the myths
surrounding it. The creators and
performers of this compelling
drama were recruited by Lebow

and Leon from the streets and
guided through a process of
discussion and improvisation over
a period of several months. This
process has culminated in a
riveting structured theatre piece.

Says Director Barbara Lebow:
"People of the Brick is an honest,
unsentimental look at life on the
streets by people who have been
there. They don't want pity. They
want understanding. This play is
a way to raise public conscious-
ness about the homeless and the
causes of their homelessness."

Co-director Kenny Leon adds:
"The public has been largely
misinformed and miseducated
about the homeless. Some of
them suffer from low self-esteem,
some from depression or mental
instability Some of them have just
fallen on hard times. We're hoping
that People of the Brick will reach
our audiences and motivate them
to get involved."

The entire process of develop-
ing People of the Brick has been
recorded on videotape and will be
part of a one-hour documentary
produced by Georgia Public
Television (Channel 8). Funded
by grants from Fulton and DeKalb
Counties, the production will by
aired during the weeks of Art
Works.

The approach used in devel-
oping People of the Brick is not
new for the Academy Theatre.

Throughout the Academy's thirty-
one year history, it has utilized
theatre as a powerful instrument
of social change. To this end. it
has conducted numerous interac-
tive workshops and performances
with special populations such as
prison inmates, addicts, the
handicapped, juvenile offenders
and the elderly Windows, de-
veloped two years ago by prison-
ers at the Hardwick Women's
Correctional Institution under
Barbara Lebow is a striking
example.

People of the Brick is part of
Art Works, a ten-day performing
and visual arts festival planned
and coordinated by the Task Force
for the Homeless and the Atlanta
Community Food Bank with sup-
port from Fulton and DeKalb
Counties and the City of Atlanta.
Proceeds from Art Works will be
used to support Atlanta shelters
and the development of artistic
intervention into the sheltering
community, such as art. music
and drama therapy.

Tickets for People of the Brick
may be purchased at the
Academy Theatre box office,
located at Peachtree and 13th
Streets, one block south of Colony
Square. Box office hours are:
Tuesday - Saturday: 11 a.m. - 5

Student Banned From Tabletalk, cont'd, from page 5

number of students who are
registered to vote.

According to Dr. Lee Copple.
the tabletalk sessions originated
several years ago at Rev.
Herndons suggestion and in an
effort to introduce an active
Presbyterian ministry at Agnes
Scott. Rev Herndon assumed
responsibility for arranging the
speakers for the sessions. Dr.
Copple. who is also a convener
of the talks, apologized for Rev
Hernaon's actions and for his
comments to Adlen later that
afternoon. "If his comments are
as she reports them, they are

inexcusable." he said.

He also acknowledged the fact
that students have attended the
talks in the past and that profes-
sors have occasionally invited
students to attend sessions on
topics of special interest. "We've
never had a policy (on student
attendance)." he said.

Dr. Copple. who has taken a
stand as a supporter of the
student privilege to attend the
talks, has arranged for a group of
people representative of the
campus community to meet on
December 1 for the purpose of
discussing and reaching a deci-

sion on the issue of student
attendance. Those involved in the
decision will be President
Schmidt, who funds the meals.
Dr. Malcolm Peel. Chaplain
Miriam Dunson. Dean Hudson.
Dr. Copple. and Rev. Herndon. Dr.
Copple is determined that the
decision on the issue be a com-
munal one

However, he also noted that,
should Rev. Herndon resign his
post, the tabletalk series would
undoubtedly fold. "No one is
prepared to pick up his role." said
Dr. Copple.

Richard Harris stars as Kiriii Arthur in Camelot.

Exhibition Focuses on
the Spirit of America

"Arts in America: The Land of
the Free.'' the second exhibition
of a series, is currently featured
at the High Museum at Georgia-
Pacific Center through January 2,
1987. Drawn primarily from the
Museums Permanent collection,
"Arts in America: The land of the
Free" is an exhibition of paintings,
graphics and decorative arts,
dating from 1830 to 1865.

The importance of the land to
the American people during this
time is emphasized through a
group of landscape works by
Thomas Cole. Thomas Doughty
and John Kensett. Some of the
later works, such as those by
Frederic Edwin Church and Albert

whelming land to be conquered.

Glass, ceramics and metalware
featured in the exhibition docu-
ment the rise of industry, the
demands of the middle class and
the urbanization of America. The
exhibition also traces various
revivalstyfes of the period, from

Greek to Gothic to Rococo. An
installation of daguerrotype por-
traits, an early photographic
process, demonstrates the grow-
ing technology of the period, with
works from the permanent collec-
tion of the High Museum and The
Atlanta Historical Society. Litho-
graphs based on favorite paint-
ings of the period reflect the
popularization of the arts.

Photographs of the Civil War
period conclude the exhibition.
This was the first war to be
captured by photography. Political
war cartoons add impact to the
imagery.

Acid Dreams Explores Past of LSD Atlanta Enters its 25 th

Season of Nutcracker

As the latest wave of anti-drug
fury sweeps the nation, a book
chronicling the history of LSD
and how the very government
that's leading the charge against
drugs today used to feed drugs to
its citizens' is flying off the
shelves and filling up campus
lecture halls.

Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD
and the Sixties Rebellion recounts
in unprecedented fashion the
little-told story of the U.S. intelli-
gence community's longstanding
and intimate relationship with the
powerful hallucinogen.

To tell the story, authors Martin
A. Lee and Bruce Shlain obtained
some 20.000 pages of once-
classified government docu-
ments, and conducted interviews
with many leading figures of the
sixties counterculture.

Of course, when one thinks of
LSD one thinks of HaightAshbury.
the Summer of Love, the Grateful
Dead and Timothy Leary the
Pied Piper of the flower children

who touted acid as a benevo-
lent mind expander, a chemical
for inducing religious experi-
ences.

"Fifteen years before the hip-
pies started dropping acid." Lee
notes, "the CIA and the Army
were utilizing the same drug not
to expand the mind but to control
it. This is the central irony of LSD

that it's been used both as a
weapon and a sacrament."

Beginning in the forties under
the auspices of programs with
such Bond-like appellations as
"MK-ULTRA" and "Operation AR-
TICHOKE," the CIA sought to
develop a "speech-inducing drug

for use in interrogations." After
working their way though cocaine,
peyote. heroin, uppers and down-
ers, the spymasters even tried a
marijuana extract called "TD"
before dismissing it as too unpre-
dictable for the espionage trade.

Then, in the early fifties, the
CIA took notice of Dr. Albert
Hoffman's chemical problem
child: LSD-25.

Lee and Shlain trace the byzan-
tine path of the drug's develop-
ment through people like Major
Gen. William Creasy, chief officer
of the U.S. Chemical Corps, who
wanted to dose thousands of
American subway riders with
"madness gas" (an aerosol ver-
sion of LSD) just to see what
would happen.

Unsubstantiated charges that
the Army actually slipped LSD to
unknowing citizens causing a
few of them to develop mental
illness still abound. There's also
the hapless experiments of Dr.
Jolly West, a former CIA contract
employee, who once killed an
adult elephant with a massive
shot of the drug. Dr. Paul Hoch
advanced the science by
lobotimizing mental patients be-
fore, during and after administer-
ing LSD to them. Hoch went on
to become New York's commis-
sioner of mental hygiene.

Possibly the most intriguing
character is Capt. Alfred N.
"Cappy" Hubbard, a crewcut.
pistol-packing LSD Johnny
Appleseed.

Hubbard, an admirer of J.
Edgar Hoover, was one of the
most ardent and persuasive
proselytizers of LSD's transcen-
dent possibilities. During the
fifties, he gave the drug to people
from all walks of life, including
Aldous Huxley and Vancouver's
Catholic archbishop, who sub-
sequently recommended the ex-
perience to his parishioners in a

letter.

There's a "Who's Who" of un-
likely tnpsters in Acid Dreams..
Time. Inc. founders Henry and
Clare Booth Luce, Ethel Kennedy
and Groucho Marx are among
them. The authors disclose that
one of President Kennedy's
girlfriends turned on with Timothy
Leary, and hint the president
himself may have taken the acid
test.

And now. as the president and
Congress call for a holy war
against substance abuse, the book
also reminds us that such pious
declarations almost always have
hidden political undercurrents.

"The Nicaraguan contras are
heavily involved in cocaine traf-
ficking, and the U.S. -backed
Afghan rebels are players in the
poppy trade." Lee charges. "If
Reagan is really serious about
dealing with the drug problem, he
should stop supporting those
groups who are bringing the drugs
into the country."

Just as the CIA seems to have
a persistent hand in Central
America, Acid Dreams suggests
it had a hand in the black mar-
keteering of LSD in the late sixties
and early seventies.

The authors focus on Ronald
Stark, a paunchy man with a huge
walrus moustache, both a CIA
informant and master con artist.
He spoke ten languages, and was
as difficult to pin down as the drug
he peddled.

In a four-year sojourn through
the acid underground, Stark
produced nearly 50 million hits of
illicit LSD before colliding with the
law in Italy in 1975. He was
arrested, and charged with drug
trafficking and armed banditry. But
just as suddenly, he was released.
Judge Giorgio Floridia explained
that "Stark belonged to the Amer-
ican secret service."

Robert Barnett. Artistic Director
of the Atlanta Ballet, proudly
announces the 25th anniversary
of the annual Christmas treat. The
Nutcracker. This classic with
music by Peter llych Tchaikovsky
and choreography by George
Balanchine has become a popular
Atlanta tradition and will run from
December 5-23.

Based on E.T.A. Hoffman's tale.
The Nutcracker and the Mouse
King, this splendid ballet makes
a dream come to life. Amid all the
excitement of Christmas Eve. a
perfect dream-fantasy is set
where toy soldiers come to life: a
nutcracker is transformed into a
handsome prince; snowflakes
dance and a beautiful sugar plum
fairy lives in a "Land of Sweets."

Audiences of all ages will be
charmed by the warmth of this
ballet and awed by the perfor-
mance of the nation's oldest ballet
company. The Atlanta Ballet is
also one of the few companies
authorized to perform this version
of The Nutcracker, choreo-
graphed by the late master,
George Balanchine. The Nut-
cracker also features elaborate

sets and costumes which make
the stage come to life.

"The grace and brilliance of the
pas de deux danced by the Sugar
Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, as
well as the 'Dance of the Sugar
Plum Fairy' provide exhilarating
and powerful entertainment."
says Robert Barnett.

In celebration of the 25th
Edition of The Nutcracker, an
evening of festivities has been
planned for Opening Night. Fri-
day. December 5th. Artistic Direc-
tor. Robert Barnett and the entire
company will be honored at this
"Land of Sweets Extravaganza."
The extravaganza will be im-
mediately following the perfor-
mance at The Ritz-Carlton. Tick-
ets will be $30 and can be ordered
from The Atlanta Ballet Box Office
at 892-3303.

Tickets range in price from
$4.00 (special discounts) to
S22.25 for matinee perfor-
mances; $4.75 to $30.25 for
evening performances. For tick-
ets, please call the Ballet Box
Office at 892-3303. or stop by a

Tennis Team Completes Fall Season

by Hong Tran

Need some pointers on how to
improve that uncontrollable volley
or that less than perfect serve?
Just come see the Agnes Scott
tennis team in action . . . next
season. On Friday, November 7,
the ASC tennis team members
completed their fall schedule with
final matches against Brenau
College and Georgia College. At
first it seemed as if the players
would all have to settle for a
peaceful and abrupt end to their
season due to the threatening
weather. However, both coaches
and players were determined to
wait out the rain, and as the day
passed, weather conditions im-
proved and match play continued.
Senior Katie MacMillan. victorious
in her match against a Georgia
College player, was the last player
to come off the courts. Agnes
Scott had defeated Georgia Col-
lege overall, but they were soon
handed a defeat by a tough
Brenau squad.

It has been a very challenging
season for these ASC women.
Facing teams from DeKalb Com-
munity College, Emory University.
Georgia State University. Brenau
College. Wesleyan College, and
Georgia College, the ASC team

posted overall victories against
the latter two schools. But the fall
season is actually only a "warm-
up" for the official tennis season
which begins during spring
semester in February. The ASC

players, winners and losers, have
gained invaluable experience
from their match play during the
last two months. So opponents
beware, the Purple Tide (alias of
theASC tennis team) is rolling in.

Volleyball Team Ends with Record of 4-12

by Debbie L. Strickland

After playing 16 matches, the
Agnes Scott volleyball team
compiled a record of 4-12. Accord-
ing to their coach, Kate McKemie.
their major problem was "cold
feet." The players were nervous
entering games and had difficul-
ties warming up. Consequently,
they were often quite sluggish
during the first game of a meet,
but then won the second game.
In one instance their score

jumped by 13 points in the second
game. Also, it was "hard to get the
team working together." Individu-
ally, many players were very
skilled, but the team lacked the
cohesiveness required to win. In
addition many players were oc-
cupied by academic and work
obligations that impeded their
progress.

Despite the many problems that
have plagued the team this
season. Coach Mckemie remains
positive. Most players worked
very hard at practice to develop
their skills. Most were freshmen

and sophomores with little experi-
ence in collegiate athletic compe-
tition. They plan to play again next
year, and feel that over this past
season they have developed the
fundamental skills demanded of
volleyball, such as spiking and
serving. Next year they will work
on team play, in an attempt to
function as a single, tightly or-
ganized unit. As they embark on
their next season, they will have
fresh new uniforms, consisting of
white shorts and purple shirts.
Coach McKemie would like to
encourage anyone interested to

try out next year. She is looking
in particular for some "tall spikers
because the net is seven feet and
four inches high."

Although the official season is
over, volleyball is still played on
the ASC campus. Coach
McKemie is encouraging her
team to play regularly throughout
the winter and spring and is trying
to organize co-recreational vol-
leyball for the spring. She wants

the players to benefit from year
round physical activity and from
the competition and zest that a
few male players will add to a
game. She also wants to organize
some student-faculty matches.
The purpose of these activities is
to spark interest in the sport and
get more of the campus commu-
nity involved. Throughout the year,
volleyball will continue to flourish
on campus, as the team prepares
for a better season next year.

Gym Completion Scheduled for '87

by Debbie L. Strickland

As part of a 5.3 million dollar
building plan, the construction
firm Barge-Wagener has recently
begun building a brand new
Physical Activities Center for
Agnes Scott, located across East
Dougherty Street from the tennis
courts. This building is one part of
a three pronged project to build a
new gym and to rennovate the old
gym and the old infirmary to serve
as student centers. The new gym
will be much improved. It will be
large enough for two indoor
classes to be held at the same
time. For example, with a divider,
the coaches can teach basketball
and volleyball simultaneously.
Currently, only one indoor sport
can be taught during any time
period. Also, the eight lane Olym-
pic sized pool will be much larger
than the old one and will meet

NCAA specifications. For the first
time. Agnes Scott will be able to
hold swim meets at home. Unlike
the old gym. the new gym will
have two locker rooms, a "wet"
one for swimmers and a "dry" one
for others. New faculty offices and
classrooms will be modern and
attractive as well. Many Agnes
Scott students and coaches have
endured the sometimes stifling air
in the old gym, and will be most
appreciative of the improved,
more efficient ventilation system
in the new gym. In addition, the
lighting will be better. The comple-
tion of the new center is sched-
uled for the Fall of 1987.
On November 20 at four o'clock

a brief groundbreaking ceremony
was held at the construction site.
It was organized by Sandra Gluck
of the ASC Office of Public
Relations, who called it a largely
'symbolic" event because work
has been going on for over a
month. Speakers included physi-
cal education professor Kay
Manuel, President Ruth Schmidt,
and Chairperson Gelderstedt of
the Agnes Scott Board of Trus-
tees. Others who were invited
included area alumnae. Mayor
Mike Mears of Decatur. Carl
Taylor, a representative of the
architectural firm, and Agnes
Scott students and faculty.

6 'Democracy in the Americas"

by Heather Rogers,

Daphne Burt

and Ginny Rosenberg

On November 16-18. former
presidents Jimmy Carter and
Gerald Ford chaired a consulta-
tion entitled "Reinforcing Democ-
racy in the Americas.'* the inau-
gural consultation of the Carter
Center of Emory University. Sev-
eral former and incumbent presi-
dents, and prime ministers of the
Latin American and Caribbean
countries joined with other lead-
ers and scholars to discuss
democracy in a series of panel
discussions. The objective of the
three day intense study of demo-
cracy was to establish a working
group of democratic leaders that
will help preserve and enhance
democracy in the Americas.

The first day of the consultation
was a private workshop in which
the leaders produced documents
to use as the basis of discussion
for the following panel sessions.
The following two days were open
to the public. Panel 1 was devoted
to defining democracy. Samuel

Huntington of Harvard proposed
a "modest" definition of democ-
racy in his paper. He said that
democracy can best be defined
by its systems and processes
(such as meaningful elections)
which, in a true democracy,
protect the rights of its citizens.

Daniel Oduber, former presi-
dent of Costa Rica, commented
upon Huntington's definition and
said democracy should be viewed
as an ideal rather than a "fait
accompli." since it is the ideal to
which Latin Americans look as
the best form of government.
Because each country is different,
its right to develop its own form of
democracy should be expected
and protected by the OAS. Vice
President of Nicaragua. Sergio
Ramirez, said that democracy
must be a tool for change as in
the ousting of military dictator-
ships, or the concept of democ-
racy will become totally ineffec-
tual. He warned against defining
democracy simply through its
systems since a democratic
system will not lead to a true
democracy in a country where the
population is totally uninformed
and apathetic.

House Majority Leader James
Wright pointed out that while
political democracy is a neces-
sary starting point for a democ-
racy, if the democratic govern-
ment does not seek to fulfill its
social obligations, it will leave
unfulfilled its grand promise.

Panel 2 discussed the break-
down of democracy in the
Americas, citing past cases and
what could be learned from them.
Alfred Stepan of Columbia Univer-
sity and Juan Linz of Yale pre-
sented a joint paper entitled
"Political Crafting of Democratic
Consolidation or Destruction:
European and South American
Comparisons." Using the in-
crease of democracy and the
decline of the military's role in
Spain as a prime example. Ste-
pan and Linz emphasized that if
careful attention were given to
economic efficacy in the context
of the debt crisis, military re-entry
into power due to still heavily
militarized politics, and the possi-
bility that Latin American presi-
dents may become overwhelmed
by demands on their resources,
more areas of choice and possibil-
ity would be open to those who

Former President ( arter speaks with guest during the inaugural consultation
m the ( arter ( 'enter.

would attempt to craft democratic
consolidation.

An important commentator
during this session was Fernando
Belaunde. former president of
Peru. Stressing the importance of
examining practice, not simply
theory. Belaunde said that, how-
ever dangerous, freedom of the
press is the essence of democ-
racy; if it is diminished it is
useless. President Carter agreed,
saying that the true test of a

democracy is the act of elections
and the freedom of the press.

Panel 3 dealt with the transition
toward democracy and consolida-
tion. Guillermo O'Donnell of the
University of Notre Dame pre-
sented the paper "Transitions
Toward Democracy: Some Navi-
gation Instruments." O'Donnell
dealt specifically with non-
revolutionary transitions to

Chimo Women Speak About Diverse Upbringings

by Nela Nanayakkara

Chimo sponsored a "fireside
chat"' on November 19. The theme
of the discussion was one which
was relevant to a woman's col-
lege: "How women are raised in
different parts of the world."
Chimo members from all over the
world spoke on their personal
experiences. Anna Quintana from
Puerto Rico, Hong Kim Saw from
Malaysia, Zeynep Yalim from
Turkey, Nela Nanayakkara from
Sri-Lanka, Shen Qi from China
and Annalina Neld from Sweden.

Chimo members were very
disappointed because of the

absence of most of the student
body. Hot coffee was served and
the discussions began.

Anna Quintana talked about the
double-standard that existed in
her country. Men can go out and
have fun; in fact, they are ex-
pected to 'sow a few wild oats'
before they settle down. Women,
on the other hand, are taught to
stay at home and accept the fact
that men can have fun while they
cannot.

Kim, the president of Chimo,
said that there are diverse races
of people in her country (Chinese.
Indian, Malaysian), and therefore,
women are brought up differently.
Those of an Indian origin are the
most conservative. In the villages,

the stereotypical views about
women exist; however, in the
cities of Malaysia, women are
given an equal education and to
a great extent, equal job oppor-
tunities.

Zeynep from Turkey dispelled
the common myth that women in
her country live extremely shel-
tered lives. Zeynep remarked on
the changes that have occurred
in Turkey. Many women no longer
choose to wear veils over their
hair, as this was common many
years ago. She also said that
more and more women are seek-
ing jobs and are getting into the
mainstream of society.

Annalina from Sweden said that

women were not discriminated
against in Sweden. In fact, women
have freedom to do what ever
they want. Many Swedish women
choose not to get married, and as
a result, Sweden has experienced
a steady population decrease.
Anna commented on the unli-
mited freedom of youngsters in
Sweden. She was not in total
agreement with her country's
policy concerning the young.

Nela Nanayakkara from Sri
Lanka spoke on the rights of
women in Asia. Because of the
increasing need for labor and skill
in industries, Sri Lanka's govern-
ment has found a need to employ.
Consequently, 'womanpower' is
now needed to bring about a

stable economy.

Shen Qi from China com-
mented briefly on a woman's life
in her country. She said that in
China both men and women work
and receive equal pay. She added
that the government encourages
small families, and therefore,
many opt to have only one or two
children.

All in all, those in attendance
learned a great deal about other
cultures and how the women of
these cultures are treated. Al-
though each of the women who
spoke were from different back-
grounds, they shared a common
interest-the importance of equal-
ity for all women.

EDITORIALS

by Maureen McNulty

I have often thought, upon leaving the Profile office in the wee hours
of the morning, with what supreme albeit unholy satisfaction I would
advertise the availability of the chair of the editor-in-chief of The Agnes
Scott Profile. One late night impromptu creation went something like
this:

WANTED: Scapegoat for thankless job, 25-30 hrs./wk. Set your own
work shift: night or graveyard. Must have 3'" thick skin, nerves of steel,
eye for misplaced comma and jello journalism. Must double as
nocturnal animal and deal with an occasionally neurotic public. Must
be motivational genius, provide own energy source. No pay. no credit,
precious few benefits. Advertising, business and computer experience
helpful, masochistic tendencies a plus. Experienced only need apply.
Immediate opening for perfect applicant. Interested? Inquire G-28
Winship. Line forms to rear.

Quite impressed with this cavalier announcement. I tried it out on
my associate editor. Julie Hartlme. who paused for a moment and then
said, "Well. PI) be seein' ya."

Fortunately. Julie relented and offered herself up as a communal
sacrifice before I was forced to get this major advertising campaign
underway. She will be assuming the position of editor-in-chief in
January, and as I leave the paper in her very capable hands. I would
like to promote a general awareness of the enormity of the responsibility
which she will be tackling.

Few people realize that in the last two years the editor's chair has
changed hands five times. This should be telling us something. A hint
for the clueless: you'll go a long, long way before you find another
collegiate newspaper which offers neither credit hours nor a paycheck
to the editor-in-chief. The unique situation at Agnes Scott requires the
editor to juggle a full course load as well as the responsibility of the
newspaper (a responsibility. I might add. which could easily fill a 40
hour work week without an idle moment) with no compensation
whatsoever.

Awarding credit for the position will reduce the workload which the
editor must carry: this route will require approval from the faculty and
the Curriculum Committee. The option of paying the editor will not
alleviate the work, of course, but it just might ease that sensation of
butting one's head against the wall for the sheer fun of it.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough my conviction that the job
cannot be done well for an extended period of time without a major
sacrifice: ones health, one's GPA. the job which to trash? I've been
rolling dice in my head ... it keeps coming up 3.

I have brought this problem to the attention of Rep Council, and it
is my hope that the student body will take an interest in the progress
of change of the present system. The Profile represents a precious
privilege and freedom to the students of Agnes Scott. I urge all of you
to take good care of it and of those who strive to keep it running.

Finally. I would like to publicly thank the staff for their efforts in
producing a publication of which I am quite proud. I thank above all
Julie Hartlme. my associate editor and lifeline.

Sources of Financial Aid

Dear Editor:

In the last edition of The Profile, I described a book entitled
Directory of Financial Aids For Women written by Gail Schlachter
and found in the Reference Section of the Agnes Scott Library. I
hope that some of you have taken a look at this book. There is one
other book I would like to bring to your attention in case you are
interested in pursuing this further.

The Scholarship Book -The Comprehensive Guide to Private-
Sector Scholarships. Grants and Loans for Undergraduates by
Daniel Cassidy and Michael J. Alves. printed by Prentice Hall.

This book contains information on financial aid sources for both
men and women and the sections are organized as follows:

1) Specific Publications lists other sources of financial aid informa-
tion

2) Career Organizations lists national career organizations which
supply guidance information on where to study, courses, job
opportunities, etc.

3) Major and Specific Fields of Study refers reader to particular
pages in the book for pertinent fields

4) Scholarships and Awards Listings for each entry includes
scholarship name, address, telephone, amount, deadline, distinctive
areas, and short description. This is the lengthiest section of the
book.

5) Alphabetical list of entries in case you already know what source
you want to investigate

Again. I would caution students that there might be very specific
religious, ethnic or location requirements to meet with these
financial aid sources, but you might just find one that is right for you'

Honor Court
Defends Search

Dear Editor:

I would like to thank The Profile.
and Adlen Walker in particular, for
reporting on the November 9 hall
search conducted by Honor Court
and the Dean of Students Office.
Too often Honor Court activities
which should be of interest to the
community are unnecessarily
shrouded by an aura of secrecy.
I appreciate The Profile's consider-
ation of the search as newswor-
thy. There are as might be
expected some comments I
would like to make in response to
the article.

As a private institution. Agnes
Scott College has the right to
search its property. Student or-
ganizations have been given the
responsibility of conducting
searches primarily for two
reasons. First, the Agnes Scott
student body is a self-governing
one. thus it seems appropriate
that we students should maintain
our regulations (it's sort of the
same rationale behind having an
Honor Court in the first place).
Secondly, it is the assumption of
the Honor Court that students
prefer to have their rooms
searched if they must be
searched at all by peers instead
of by administrators or security
officers.

I think it is very important to
emphasize that the procedures
for a search were followed very
strictly in this instance, including
the fact that no students, except
myself and the Dorm Counselor
who brought the problem to my
attention, knew specifically who
was suspected of smoking
marijuana. Another important
note is that Honor Court considers
the search a success: it was
handled correctly, and. most
importantly, everyone on the hall
was cleared of suspicion.

As to whether or not the search
was justified. I would like to stress
that searches are conducted only
when sufficient cause has been
established. The two deciding
factors in this case were (a) the
fact that a 'marijuana-like'' smell
on second Rebekah had been
reported to me previously and (b)
several students, ultimately my-
self included, who know what it
smells like, believed that the
strong smell on the hall was that
of pot smoke. We were wrong,
yes. But. because the incident
was of such a serious nature, we
thought that a chance of being in
error had to be taken.

In response to the concern for
student compensation, it is my
position that as members of a
community we sometimes have
to make sacrifices for the good of
those with whom we live. If Honor
Court had not responded to the
claims of the majority of residents

on second Rebekah. not only
would we have been negligent in
our duties but also the legitimate
concerns of students would not
have been alleviated. We were
not trying to harass anyone or
intrude into the privacy of others.
We were merely trying to establish
to everyone's satisfaction whether
or not the Honor Code had been
violated. We did so. and I believe
such assurance is compensation
enough for everyone involved.

I hope I have further clarified
the circumstances of the Rebekah
Hall search in particular and
searches in general. I encourage
anyone who has further com-
ments or suggestions to contact
me.

Thank you.

Profile representatives, will be
welcome at future meetings of
this group. Our confident belief is
that this will meet with positive
response by the larger 'member-
ship,' but since a similar vote
preceded the opening of these
sessions to staff members three
or four years ago, it was equally
appropriate that the issue of stu-
dent attendance be put to a vote.

If you hear nothing from me to
the contrary following the Feb-
ruary 3 meeting, you may assume
that the vote was a positive one.
A complete list of dates and
speakers will be issued early in
the spring semester, but I can tell
you now that the dates are Feb-
ruary 17, March 3, March 31, April
7, and April 14. Mr. Herndon has
lined up some very interesting
speakers. I feel, and I personally
will be delighted both to see stu-
dents present and, when the pre-
sentations are judged newsworth,
to have them reported in The
Profile.

Meanwhile, my congratulations
for the fine work you are doing as
editor this year, and my best wishes
for the coming holiday season.
Very truly yours,
Lee Copple. Co-Convener

Public Safety
Issues Warning

Dear Editor:

There are several students who
have registered their vehicles with
the apparent intentto park illegally
and without regard for the Parking
Traffic Regulations of Agnes
Scott. Although they continue to
pay the fines they are assessed,
they render record keeping hope-
less to an organized system.

To insure that such a system
can be maintained, the following
rule will be added to the regula-
tions regarding fines:
Registrants receiving 5 (total)
tickets in a given academic
(Aug.- May) year shall receive a
letter of "warning" from Public
Safety. Tickets 6-10 will necessi-
tate impounding the vehicle. After
W tickets, the vehicle will be
prohibited from parking on cam-
pus and the permit for that vehicle
will be voided.

Acid Rain Level
Questioned

Dear Editor:

I'm no expert on acid rain, but
the recent article "Harmful Acid
Rain Showers Georgia" seems to
contradict the conclusions of a
team of experts in Georgia that
has studied the issue.

The Governor's Task Force on
Acid Rain earlier this year con-
cluded there currently is no acid
rain problem in Georgia. The task

>W 0

force's leaders said the group
will continue to monitor Georgia's
environment and carry out re-
search.

It seems to me that monitoring
the state's environment and con-
tinuing research of acid deposi-
tion are the ways to go in dealing
with the issue. That's better than
scaring people by suggesting
electric rates be raised to imple-
ment changes that no responsible
state leaders have called for.

The task force also goes on to
say there is evidence that other
parts of the country - particularly
the heavily industrialized Midwest
and Northeast - may have an acid
rain program. If that's true then
maybe they ought to deal with
acid rain in those regions of the
country.

But until we have conclusive
scientific evidence about a prob-
lem in Georgia, I don't see why

we should fix anything that isn't

broken.

Sincerely,

Beth A. Carpenter

Peg Ziegler Speaks On Rape At Convocation

by Debbie L. Strickland

For the second time this year.
Peg Ziegler. director of the Grady
Hospital Rape Crisis Center,
came to Agnes Scott to speak
about a topic critical to women:
rape. The topic, as well as
Zieglers reputation as an excel-
lent speaker, drew a large crowd
to the November 19 convocation.
After a brief introduction by
Chaplain Miriam Dunson, she
delved directly into the heart of
her subject, describing it as a
"human against human, life and
death situation," from which
victims are expected to recover in
three days.

According to Ziegler. the ramifi-
cations of this crime on a woman
are far-reaching and long lasting.
Victims "can no longer concen-
trate because they need to be
alert and watchful; they can't even
let their guards down to study." In
fact, most student victims drop
out of school, and there are many
more of these victims than most
people realize; "we are sur-
rounded by victims," claimed
Ziegler.

But most of these victims are
silent. For a variety of reasons,
they fear reporting the crime.
During her nine years at Grady,

Peg Ziegler has heard many of
their stories. For example, one
woman who talked to Ziegler the
day before the convocation said
that she had been raped by her
husband's visiting brother. She
was afraid that her family wouldn't
believe her story, particularly
since her mother-in-law disliked
her. The woman was terrified that
the incident would "blow apart"
her family. Ziegler said that this
woman is not alone, that "the vast
majority don't report the crime if
they know the man. especially if
he is a family member."

More common than intra-family
rape is "date rape." This type of
rape is quite common among
college students and is rarely
reported. Friends usually discour-
age the victim from reporting the
crime by saying "that's just the
way it is," or by assuming that the
attack was somehow motivated
by the woman. However, date
rape is rape. A dinner and a movie
do not obligate a woman sexually
to a man. Ziegler reported that
approximately 80% of all college
freshmen have been at least
kissed or pressed upon against
their wills, mainly because some
men believe the awful cliche, that
"when a woman says no, she
means yes."

Women are not only victimized
by dates and family members, but
also by bosses, co-workers, and
family friends. All of these rapes,
rapes in which the victim knows
the perpetrator, account for ap-
proximately 85o of all rapes
committed. Ziegler estimated.
Women must be courageous
enough to punish men who prac-
tice this violence by reporting the
crime, despite fear of embarrass-
ment and ostracization.

Ziegler also spoke briefly about
the psychology of the rapist and
the motivations behind rape. She
blamed the problem on our soci-
ety, which she said, "teaches our
people that self-esteem and self-
worth are tied to the money ethic."
economic and professional suc-
cess. The distorted values of
society "have pretty well set up"
violent behavior in men who feel
ineffectual and ignored or as
Ziegler said, "disenfranchised."
Therefore, rape cannot be pre-
vented, because it is not a female
problem but the problem of the
perpetrators. The most that
women can do to protect them-
selves is avoid obviously danger-
ous situations like walking alone
late at night.

Finally, Ziegler told the crowd
that rape must be brought out into
the open. People must first learn

Carter & Ford: Reinforcing Democracy

Cont'd, from page 1

democracy. "For a successful
transition, it is crucial that all
actors, democratic or otherwise,
win clear supremacy in their
respective camps and agree on
fundamental goals." O'Donnell
said.

Laurence Whitehead of Oxford
University continued the discus-
sion of transitions from au-
thoritarianism to democracy. He
pointed out that after a great
upheaval, a government must be
totally restructured He listed
certain phases that a government
must inevitably undergo: periods
of uncertainty, which are danger-
ous if they last too long; and a
period of consolidation which
should commence as the new
type of government becomes
more stable and familiar. If com-
plete consolidation of a new
government is ever to occur,
complete trust must prevail, and
above all. democracy must be
built from within a country.

At the evening banquet, the
keynote speaker was the presi-
dent of Argentina, Raul Alfonsin.
He spoke about how the inter-
Amencan community can rein-
force democracy in the Americas.
He believes that within a genera-
tion, the world can help make
Latin American countries "indus-
trious and prosperous." He would
remind any skeptics of his
idealism that in 1945 Europe was
in ruins, yet 25 years later, it was
a prosperous nation Alfonsin

called for nations to use their
imagination to seek creative
solutions for Latin American
problems such as debt and poor
economy.

Panels 4 and 5. held the
following day. discussed recom-
mendations for reinforcing demo-
cracies from within and outside of
the countries. Osvaldo Hurtado,
former president of Ecuador,
delivered a paper entitled
"Changes in Internal Relations to
Reinforce Democracy." As with
most other participants in the
consultation. Hurtado believes
the foreign debt is "the greatest
enemy of democracy in Latin
America." He sees as solutions to
the debt problem deferring pay-
ment until the 21st century,
encouraging lower interest rates,
and most importantly, the invest-
ment of industrial countries in
Latin America to strengthen the
economy.

Nicolas Ardito-Barletta. former
president of Panama, followed
Hurtado with a paper entitled
"What Kind of Economic Policy
Would Help 9 " Barletta believes
that economy needs to be man-
aged by both the public and
private sectors and that competi-
tion should exist in the economy.
Furthermore, the achievement of
democracy will occur through
growth, not stagnation. Barletta
believes that stable democracies
can be created through the joint
efforts of Latin American coun-

tries and the international commu-
nity which would benefit not only
Latin America but also the rest of
the world. "Everybody cannot
become greater exporters unless
somebody becomes a greater
importer," Barletta said.

Daniel Oduber. former presi-
dent of Costa Rica, presented the
views of Carlos Perez, former
president of Venezuela who could
not attend. Oduber said that
technology is as great a need as
money in Latin America. Also, he
believes that growth and im-
proved social conditions in Latin
America will improve the political
stability of the Western hemis-
phere.

Tom Farer. President of the
University of New Mexico, pre-
sented bilateral and multilateral
arrangements for reinforcing
democracy in the Americas. Farer
expressed the opinion of most of
the Latin American participants
who want to discourage unilateral
military and economic means of
influencing democracy. "Even
(strongly democratic) Latin lead-
ers .. . are opposed to unilateral
and hence illegal military action
by the U.S. to maintain or to install
democratic governments."

The final paper of the panel
discussions was presented by
Robert Pastor, an Emory Univer-
sity professor. Pastor expressed
the idea that U.S. military interven-
tion in the name of democracy is
wrong Among his ideas for what
should be done to promote demo-

simply to acknowledge the
frightening word instead of just
calling the crime "it." "Because 'it'
terrifies us," people find rape
difficult to discuss. Peg Ziegler is
working to change the situation.

and perhaps the students and
faculty members that reluctantly
left Maclean Auditorium at 11:21,
late for class, have acquired some
slightly different attitudes about
this crime.

IMPORTANT EXAM REMINDERS

Exams for fall semester begin
on December 13. Please consult
the notice placed in each student's
mailbox for reminders about exam
procedures. Note in particular that
no drinks, food, gum or headsets
(i.e.. walkmans) are allowed in
either Buttnck or Campbell Halls
during the exam period. Also, it
.nay be important to note that

G-15 Buttnck and 319 Campbell
have now been designated Open
Book. Notes and Calculator
rooms to allow for more space for
these types of exams. Exams that
allow dictionaries should be taken
in an open book room.

Thank you for your cooperation,
and good luck with exams!

cracy are the establishment of an
independent election monitoring
organization and a cooperative
relationship between the civilian
governments and the military. He
also called for a summit of the
Organization of American States
to assess democracy.

Of all the commentators after
the panel discussions, the ideas
of Errol Barrow, the Prime Minister
of Barbados, and Pierre Elliott
Trudeau. former prime minister of
Canada, were the most challeng-
ing and provocative. Barrow,
whose island nation is a social
democracy, believes that a na-
tion's individuality, especially in
economic policies, is as important
as establishing a democracy. He
says that industrial nations with
high per capita income should not
apply their standards to less
wealthy countries such as Bar-
bados. Barrow also proposed that
countries that do not support
democratic ideals should be
ostracized from the democratic
community.

Trudeau began his commentary
by questioning whether the gov-
ernment of a country is the most
important issue or whether it is
the poverty of the people. He
views democracy as a means, not
as an end. Trudeau blamed the
vast debt of the Latin American
countries on creditor nations who
"pushed" loans to Latin America.
The United States. Canada, and
international banks "have a re-
sponsibility if not the main one to
solve the problem (of debt)." He

maintains that creative financing
will not diminish the debt unless
these countries find a way to
export more than they import.

After the final panel discussion.
Carter gave members of the
audience a chance to comment
or ask questions. A Nicaraguan in
the audience made an impas-
sioned plea to prevent in Central
America what has happened in
the Middle East. Also, a female
international lawyer questioned
the absence of women from the
distinguished list of panel guests.
She said that women are an
integral part of the understanding
of democracy and that social
equality is a necessary part of
democracy.

The afternoon address was
delivered by the President of
Guatemala, Vincio Cerezo. on
The Future of Democracy in the
Americas." Cerezo firmly believes
that "democracy in Central
America can succeed" given
enough time. Cerezo's goal is
democracy.

After the address, a private
session was held for the political
dignitaries to discuss the ideas of
the consultation and establish
guidelines for the future.

As a follow-up to the "Reinforc-
ing Democracy" project, current
and former presidents and prime
ministers will meet privately at the
Institute of the Americas in La
Jolla. California to discuss inter-
American efforts to promote
democracy in Latin America.

Porn Censorship: Yes or No?

BW1ETJN#

The Justice Department and

congressional investigators are
examining the secret sales of
arms to Iran and the subsequent
channeling of profits to help the
Nicaraguan contras and U.S.
backed rebels in Afghanistan via
a Swiss bank account. Included
is a study of the roles of ex-
National Security Aide Lt. Col.
Oliver North. CIA director William
J. Casey and former National
Security advisor John Poindexter.
In addition, there are reports that
in the spring the CIA flew helicop-
ters filled with supplies into
Nicaragua even though Congress
had banned government agen-
cies from providing arms to the
rebels. The president claims to
have had no knowledge of the
diversion of funds.

All Foreign Service appli-
cants, employees and their de-
pendents will be screened for
signs of the AIDs virus under a
plan recently approved by Secre-
tary of State George Shultz.
Under the proposed policy, appli-
cants receiving a positive result
on an AIDS antibody blood
screening test would be rejected
on medical grounds. This program
will be the first of its kind among
civilian federal workers.

West Germany has ordered
the expulsion of three Syrian
diplomats. The announcement
came the day after a West Berlin
court implicated Syrian officials in
a bombing in the city last March.

The Office of Personnel Man-
agement has created regulations
stating that federal workers in
sensitive positions may be fired
for their first use of illegal drugs
and dismissal would be manda-
tory for a second offense. These
guidelines appear to contradict
President Reagan's previous
assurance to federal workers that
drug users would not be fired.

Jewelry Stolen

by Dolly Purvis

Several weeks ago. students
from the Rebekah Scott dorm
approached Dean Gue Hudson to
report that a massive crime sweep
had taken the residents by sur-
prise. Most of the students said
that jewelry was the common
article taken.

Dean Hudson called ASC Pub-
lic Safety and Honor Court to
investigate the incident. Upon
deciding that the thefts were not
an Honor Court offense by a
student, the Dean called the City
of Decatur Police so that they
might attempt to solve the crime.

with Emory's Phi Sigma Tau
organization to discuss recent

a graphic expose of the pornog-
raphy industry and then partici-
pated in a loosely structured
debate on the pros and cons of
pornography censorship with the
few courageous Emory students
who did not leave directly follow-
ing the movie.

Asked her views on pornog-
raphy censorship. Sarah Garland
said. "Some people feel that
pornography is a product of our
society. If this is true, the only way
to end the desire for. hence the
production of porn, is to change
our society. Changing our laws
will mean not a reduction in porn,
but an increase in the number of
criminals in our courts."

Said Gretchen Pfeifer. "The first
step one must take in order to

outside the earth's atmosphere.
The discussion was especially
pertinent because of the recent
summit meetings between
Reagan and Gorbachev, at which
the Soviet leader urged the United
States to stop SDI research.

According to Mary Laymon.
the discussion began with Dr.
Bowling's explanation of the
scientific aspects of SDI and Dr.
Cathy Scott's explanation of the
political viewpoints. Dr. Bowling
answered questions such as: how
feasible is the plan for SDI 9 How
do the scientists working on it
feel 9 Will it work 9 Can and/or will
it be used offensively 9 * Will
Reagan use SDI as a bargaining
chip 9

The discussion lasted from 11
p.m. to 1p.m., with many faculty
members and students coming in
and out. Mary stressed that the
discussion was "... not a lecture.
Everyone could talk. It was a very
flowing sort of thing."

Those who- participated in the
discussion came to the conclu-
sion that many people aren't
educated about SDI. It is an
intimidating topic because it is so
scientific. The public at large does

mine with actual cases that
pornography in fact does present
a major threat to women. How-
ever, who can determine the
solution to this problem 9 "

Kathy McKee defends the cen-
sorship movement; she maintains
that "Pornography can. in fact, be
considered to represent a cate-
gory excluded from the First
Amendment protection, as are
obscenity, libel, and incitement to
illegal action. The determination
of this category could be based
on the values traditionally as-
sumed by the Supreme Court to
underlie the First Amendment. By
this standard, if porn does not
advance these values and it has
an 'arguable correlation' to vio-
lence against individuals [women],
it may be excluded from First
Amendment protection, and thus
censored."

would like to see an effort made
to educate the public about SDI
and about nuclear weapons in
general. They compared the issue
to protests during the sixties
against radiation in the environ-
ment. The biggest problem with
the arms race seems to be that
many people, due to a lack of
understanding, are not able to
take a stand on the issue.

Although the discussion partic-
ipants did not suggests any
concrete solutions to the problem,
many were able to come to some
important individual conclusions,
and the talk was a good chance
for students and faculty to air their
feelings and to learn more about
the topic of SDI.

headed by linguist Diane Famiano
and psychologist Suzanne Greer.
Diane and Suzanne are creative
professionals who specialize in
helping students learn how to
study. This is not a program which
teaches you how to take notes.
Instead it shows you bow to tap
into your learning channels
through creative means. Besides
tutoring privately, Diane and

Castro's

Fidel Castro: Nothing Can Stop
the Course of History was pub-
lished in late September by
Pathfinder Press in New York It
is the longest and most wide-
ranging interview ever granted to
U S. citizens by Cuban President
Fidel Castro

The interview that produced the
book was conducted by Dr. Jeffrey
M Elliot, a professor of political
science at North Carolina Central
University, and U.S. Con-
gressman Mervyn M. Dymally of
California, a member of the
House of Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee. Their discussions with Presi-
dent Castro in Havana produced
over 25 hours of taped conversa-
tion. These frank exchanges
cover dozens of topics.

The topics include U.S. -Cuban
relations. South Africa and apar-
theid, the role of Cuban troops in
Africa, involvement in drug trafick-
ing, the Olympics, and more In
addition, the book reveals much
about the life of Fidel Castro, his
relations with the Cuban people,
and his views on Cuba itself

Fidel Castro: Apartheid is the
most shameful, traumatizing, and
inconceivable crime that exists in
today's contemporary world. I
can't think of anything else as
serious from a moral
standpoint as apartheid ... the
survival of apartheid is a disgrace
to humanity. Not a single, effec-
tive, practical measure has been'
adopted against South Africa,
really pressuring it to put an end
to the apartheid system. The
United States has systematically
opposed all sanctions against the
South African regime. . If. in
compliance with the universal
condemnation of apartheid.
South Africa were effectively
isolated, economic sanctions
were implemented against it. and
everyone were to support them.
South Africa's apartheid system
would come to an end.

NICARAGUA AND CENTRAL
AMERICA

Congressman Mervyn M. Dymally.
Lets turn to the issue of Nicara-
gua. Can the present conflict be
resolved through peaceful negoti-
ations 9 Is a peaceful settlement
possible?

Fidel Castro: I'm absolutely con-
vinced that it is. . . As long as the
United States continues to believe
that the Sandmista revolution can
be defeated by a combination of
actions by mercenary bands and
economic difficulties, and that the
Salvadoran revolutionary move-

Well. Agnes Scott, how did you
spend your Thanksgiving break 9
If you were like the majority of the
students on campus, your "quar-
ter system" time clock had long
run out and you were ready for a
well-deserved break. From the
comments heard around campus,
one has the feeling that virtually
no one (students and faculty alike)
did much schoolwork during their
time off.

In talking with several commu-
nity members. I found that many
spent their time relaxing, reac-
quainting themselves with that too
often evasive bed. and spending
time with family and friends.
Sophomore Anne Leacock said
that she had "a really quiet
Thanksgiving" and "spent a lot of
time - guess you'd call it 'quality
time'" with her parents. She said
she also slept a good deal,
watched television, and washed
and waxed her new car. Missy
Marino attempted to see all of her
friends from high school, and she
too spent some time in dream-
land. When asked what was the
most exciting thing she did. she
replied, "to go to one of my high
school's football games. . . Well,
that runs a close second to
smashing up my car!" Relaxation
was obviously on Dolly Purvis'
agenda as she stated that the
highlight of her Thanksgiving was
to see Star Trek IV at the Columbia
theater. Roberta Daniel appa-
rently had a satisfying vacation as

ment can be crushed, the United
States will not be willing to search
seriously for negotiated political
solutions in Central America. This
is my firmest conviction.
Professor Jeffrey M. Elliot. Do you
rule out the possibility of direct
U.S. military intervention in Nica-
ragua 9

Fidel Castro: No. I don't rule out
the possibility. It is obvious that
U.S. policy in Central America is
leading to a dead end. and there
is the risk that when the adminis-
tration realizes that it cannot
achieve its objectives through
mercenary bands, it may find itself
in a situation where there are no
other options but to negotiate with
or to intervene in Nicaragua. ..It's
as if the Reagan administration
wants to teach an unforgettable
lesson, so that nobody in Central
or Latin America will ever again
thinking of rebelling against the
tyrannies which serve U.S. inter-
ests, or against hunger and
exploitation. They want to teach a
lesson so that nobody really fights
for independence and social
justice.

Pathfinder Press has published
three collections of Castro's
speeches, a collection of the
speeches and writings of Nelson
Mandela, and books by Malcolm
X and leaders of the Sandmista
revolution in Nicaragua

the Course of History, 258 pp.

well. She commented. "Turkey
was super, and shopping the day
after Thanksgiving was a true
adventure in hunting down those
bargains along with millions of
other determined shoppers! The
holiday provided me with time to
rest my mind, prop up my feet and
listen to my classical records, and
have a fabulous visit with my
wonderful parents." Junior Tracy
McMahon found several diver-
sions at her home in. as she puts
it, "God's country." otherwise
known as Charleston, SC. Tracy
spent time catching up with old
friends and a great deal of time
on the water. One suspects that
her favorite activity was taking
"boat rides where I stopped off at
my favorite place (R.B.'s) for
oysters on the half shell and
longneck Bud."

Some Agnes Scott community
members spent their break away
from home. Sarah Napier stayed
with some friends in Washington
D.C. where they had Thanksgiv-
ing dinner at a Vietnamese restau-
rant in Georgetown. She and her
friends visited the panda bears at
the National Zoo and saw the
Mattisse exhibit at the National
Gallery. However, the highpoint of
her trip was visiting Sarah Jewett
in Catonsville. Maryland. Dianne
Dornbush went with her husband
to Park City. Utah, an area
surrounded by ski resorts. "Unfor-
tunately, there was not enough
snow for all of the slopes to open,
but I was able to ski on Thanksgiv-
ing Day" An interesting attraction
for Dianne was the Women's

photographs. $7.95. This book will
be available in local bookstores or

World Cup races which opened
for the first time in the United
States in Park City. Finally, she
remarked. "Park City had four
inches of snow Saturday night
(just in time for me to leave)."

Dr. Pilger and his family also
traveled during the Thanksgiving
break, though not as far away as
D.C. or Utah. The Pilgers drove
down to the Okeefonokee Swamp
on Thanksgiving Day and joined
Dr. Tumblin and his family for a
picnic dinner. On Friday, the group
canoed throughout the park but
ran into rain late in the afternoon.
Dr. Pilger said that raccoons found
their way into the groups food,
and (with a hint of pain in his
voice) the animals "went right for
the pumpkin bread." Why go to
the swamp for Thanksgiving? He
remarked that his family did the
same thing last year and they
have no family in the immediate
area. In that case, he says,
sometimes it's nice to get out and
do something and think about
other things for which you're
grateful.

All in all. it seems that most
members of the Agnes Scott
community took the relaxing
vacation that they deserved.
Whether they visited friends and
family, slept, zoned out in front of
the TV. set, washed the car. skied,
or canoed through the
Okeefanokee Swamp, hopefully
all enjoyed the few days off and
returned to Scott ready (some-
what, at least) to face the final
weeks of the semester.

Caution: Information Gap Ahead

fEAIURES

The Profile s

Christmas Checklist

by Lisa Gugino

Agnes Scott students seek out
the truth on a daily basis by
endeavoring to inform themselves
on a variety of issues spanning
many disciplines. Professors urge
students to gain insight into the
historical aspects of subjects, as
well as emphasizing the pos-
sibilities that might exist for future
generations. The challenge of
discovery is part of the educa-
tional experience Agnes Scott
offers its students. However, it is
interesting to question whether or
not students actually challenge
themselves to discover informa-
tion outside of the classroom.
Does the Agnes Scott student
body really know what is going on
beyond the pages of its books
and papers 9 How informed is the
campus on the current events that
affect the world outside of Agnes
Scott's small boundaries 9 Where
do students get their information 9
And if they don't seek out informa-
tion or feel informed, why is that?

Two students from each class
were asked similar questions in
an attempt to discover how much
information on current events they
independently sought out and
where they chose to get that
information. Felicia Wheeler, a
Junior psychology major,
explained why she felt herself to
be. "moderately informed about
current events." "I get my news
mostly from watching TV. and
Newsweek, however I'm not as
informed as I'd like to be. and I
think there are two reasons for
that. The first, is that I don't have
the time to sit down and read or
watch TV. on a regular basis
because I'm really busy." Felicia's
attributed her second reason to
the college environment, saying
rather critically, "This college is
informationally devoid."

Caroline Sigman. a Junior and
a psychology-spanish major, felt
very strongly that. "I am totally
uninformed. I subscribe to News-
week and own a television.
However, the fact that I have a
tremendous work load, and that
this campus is about as informed
as Reagan is on Foreign Policy,
justifies to me my deplorable con-
dition."

The sophomore students inter-
viewed were not much more
optimistic about their level of
awareness. Caroline Lewis, an
english-psychology major ex-
plained. "I wish I was more in-
formed. I'm interested in current
events, and I like to watch the
news but I really don't have the
time; its like a privilege to watch
TV. The only time I get to see the
news is on weekends. My
priorities dictate that I can't always
take the time to watch TV Also,
campus meetings often fall during
news time." Sonya Wells, a
sophomore, shared Caroline's
view that there is little time for an
active college student to actively
seek information on current
events but she felt she could get
what news she needed from a
psychology class she was taking
from Dr. Mannle. "I also get a lot
of my news from home, when I
talk to my family on the phone."

Like Sonya, Erin Gaston, a
Freshman and possible interna-
tional relations major, pointed to
her classes as her main and
sometimes only source of infor-
mation. "The political science
class I'm taking has made me
much more informed, more so
than I was at home." Erin did
mention the radio as an important
source of news in her life.
Adrienne Grzeskiewicz. a
Freshman biology major who
rooms with Erin, explained, "I
hardly ever listen to the news,
except what I hear on the radio
every blue moon. Because I have
so much work to do I rarely hear

the news. Back home Dad would
turn on the 6 o'clock news every
night, but now I don't have a
television and I don't receive a
newspaper."

The seniors interviewed were a
bit more informed Mamarpt
Lackey, a senior biology major,
said, 1 use the radio for my main
source of news so I can do other
things while I listen." However,
she suggested that the reason for
most lack of information is the
academic world in which students
live. "Being in an environment
that is constantly emphasizing
academics prevents one from
staying informed outside of one's
studies; it isolates you in a way."

Pam Anderson, also a senior
biology major, was probably the
most content of all the other
students interviewed. She said. "I
use to not watch the news or
know what was going on but lately
I've started to watch TV on a
regular basis. I also read The
Profile for some of my informa-
tion." The apparent reason for
Pam's recent desire for informa-
tion is her informed roommate. "
My roommate is a staunch Demo-
crat and I have to have a basis for
my arguments with her." When
asked if she reads the newspaper.
Pam uttered a commonly heard
comment. "Who wants to go to
the library and read the news-
paper every day when we have
so much homework to do?"

According to all of these stu-
dents, keeping up with current
events is a task which would
demand of them more than they
care to give. It is significant,
however that all of these students
are conscious of their shortcom-
ings and inwardly desire to be
better informed than they are.
Perhaps, after a bit more coach-
ing and a lot more emphasis on
the merits of being informed, this
latent student desire will actualize
itself in the everyday life of each
student.

GS A Hosts Beyond War Seminar TumbHn Talks of Culture shock

by Sarah Jewett
and Sarah Napier

Georgia Students Association
hosted a Beyond War Seminar on
November 13. led by volunteers
Katie Baer and Ken Kannet.
Beyond War is a movement aimed
at changing the way people think
about war. It is a non-partisan
group composed of volunteers
from all over the country. Exten-
sive literature has been published
about the philosophies of the
movement. The principles of their
philosophy are summarized in the
Beyond War Statement, which
was developed after many inter-
views with arms control experts,
business and professional
people, military and government
personnel, educators, scientists,
and people from all walks of life.
The statement calls for a change
in thought which requires knowl-
edge, decision, and action. The
change requires the acknowledg-

ment that war is obsolete and the
commitment to resolve conflict
without violence. The realization
of our oneness, the mterconnected-
ness of all life, is crucial to this
commitment to peace. These two
points are the foundations of the
new mode of thinking proposed
by Beyond War. By basing our
thought processes on these
principles we can take action to
build a world beyond war. It is
crucial that we choose as the
focus of our loyalty "all life and the
well-being of the whole system."
as is written in the Beyond War
statement.

The presentation combined
lecture and discussion, accom-
panied by video tape and demon-
strations which illustrated the
awesome power and potential
destructiveness of nuclear
weapons. The video presented
some of the horrors of Hiroshima
and the probable consequences
of a nuclear war. One chilling
demonstration involved B.B.'s
dropped into a metal trash can.

One B.B. represented the destruc-
tive power of World War one. five
represented the destructive
power of World War two and an
entire bowl full represented the
power of the nuclear weapons in
the world today. The tremendous
noise of the B.B.'s ricocheting off
the sides of the metal can was an
effectively haunting experience.
Heated discussions arose over
the philosophy of oneness and
the feasibility of a world without
nuclear weapons.

Georgia Students Association
was pleased to host this semi-
nar and we wish to thank Katie
Baer and Ken Kannet. and those
who attended, for their time and
participation.

On Thursday. November 16. Dr.
John Tumblin. Professor of An-
thropology, presented a lecture to
the campus community titled.
"Culture shock, role shock or no
shock at all." This lecture was part
of an on-going lecture series
sponsored by the RTC Campus
Enrichment Committee.

Dr. Tumblin discussed the mis-
conceptions that people have
concerning culture shock. Draw-
ing from his own experiences and
studies, Dr. Tumblin suggests that
culture shock, which exhibits itself

in the form of mood swings, anger,
and depression, occurs from six
months to one year after entering
a foreign country. The experience
of culture shock happens in
several phases. Dr. Tumblin does
not feel that people going on
vacation experience culture
shock.

Dr. Tumblin also discussed the
effects that a change of role can
have on the life of an individual
He used the Agnes Scott student
as an example. College students
are separated from their families
and experience the changes of
life on campus. College students
are also learning to take responsi-
bility for themselves and handie
the pressures of academics
Often during the sophomore year
students experience what is
known as "sophomore slump.'

Approximately forty students
and faculty enthusiastically re-
ceived Dr. Tumblin's lecture and
participated in a question and
answer session.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO
CALL YOUR BOYFRIEND?

a) When the president of Phi Gamma Delta
asks you to Saturday night's Fiji Formal.

b) After raquetball class, to tell him that the
instructor with the Australian accent and
those blue eyes did wonders for your serve.

c) When you just feel like telling him you
miss him after all.

Maybe you shouldn't toll him everything that's going on. But
if you still care about him, why not call and whisper some sweet
things he'll never forget 9

Like why you call using AT&T Long Distance Ser-
vice, and why you trust AT&T's high quality service
and exceptional value.

When you tell him that AT&T gives you immedi-
ate credit if you dial a wrong number, he won't
be able to get you out of his mind.

And telling him you can count on
AT&T for clear, long distant
connections will drive
him crazy.
All of which will prob-
ably inspire 1 him to drive

The newest Broadway-bound
comedy Legends! was featured
at the Fox Theatre November 12
through 16. The stars Carol
Channing and Mary Martin,
legends themselves, perform
together for the first time in this
new comedy written by James
Kirkwood. writer of A Chorus Line,
and directed by Clifford Williams.

These two legendary actresses
accompanied by four other
talented performers present the
story of two movie stars who are
offered a chance to revive their
careers by working on a joint
venture but refuse the offer. The
story is witty, hilarious, and
touching. By the closing of the
play, the two actresses reconcile
and admit the truth of their not so
glamorous lives.

The comedy is far from corny.
The whole story takes a refreshing
approach to entertaining in the
Broadway style.

Gary Beach plays a crafty.

The performance of the
Swingle Singers had themes of
America and Christmas. The first
act included Gershwin. Porter,
and Feyre; the second act, favor-
ite carols.

These eight performers, four
men and four women, have an
interesting background. Each has
an extensive classical training.
Their songs need no orchestra of
musicians; their voices provide
the orchestration.

The opening piece was the
instrumental version of "The
William Tell Overture'" which was
sung with incredible clarity be-
tween the voices of these fine
artists and sounded like real
instruments instead of human
voices.

Andrew Busher stood out im-
mediately with an incredibly high
final note in "Rocking My Dream*
Boat." Helen Massey then took
her turn in the spotlight in "Boy
from Her personality in the

piece was adorable, and her
back-up singers played along with
her.

The whole group worked re-

second-rate director who desper-
ately seeks these two stars for his
next show. He performs with
much ingenuity. Much of his
performance is improvisational
comedy. At one point, he carries
on phone conversations on three
different pay phones all at once in
a noisy subway station, which is
greatly entertaining.

Channing and Annie-Joe. who
plays a maid, are terrific together.
They know the secret of playing
off one another, never leaving a
dull moment between laughs.

Martin performs sensationally
with all the necessary class. Her
role as an admirable Hollywood
star is heartwarming.

The show has one surprise
after another. Channing enters in
a slinky, silver cocktail dress
which reveals a figure of a young
model. A surprise male stripper
entertains Channing. Martin, and
Annie-Joe. The final number joins
Channing and Martin together in
song and dance.

Legends! brings cheers from
the audience and appears to be
destined for Broadway.

markably well together. There
were rarely any visual cues, and
yet they always knew when to cut
off together. The transfer from one
singer to the next was perfectly
clear and pleasant in contrasts.

Simon Grant was another per-
former with many talents. He tap
danced to a Cole Porter melody;
having no tap shoes, he simply
made tapping noises with his
mouth so the audience would not
miss the effect. He also simultane-
ously sang and whistled "Rudolph,
the Red Nosed Reindeer."

The company's versatility was
quite apparent in Gershwin's
"Fascinatin' Rhythm" and
Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture."
First, the ensemble sang rhythm
and blues as if they grew up in
the alleys of Broadway. Then they
transformed their human voices
into the sound of a 60 piece
orchestra complete with strings,
horns, and percussion for the
overture. Jonathan Rathbone
gave new meaning to the Hunch
Back of Notre Dame with his bell
ringing in this piece, and Grant
cleverly portrayed a B-52 bomber

passing overhead and dropping a
few bombs.

The company presented each
selection with vitality and sensitiv-
ity for what they were performing.
Even their facial expressions
portrayed much of the emotions
and energy they were sharing
with the audience.

These superhuman performers
came back down to earth in their
performance of "The Twelve Days
of Christmas." They each had
humorous hats to characterize
their different days and found
each other so amusing they
began to giggle and joined the
audience for a good laugh before
finishing.

The performance was a great
hit. The Swingle Singers were
beckoned for two encores and
were later greeted at the reception
in Dalton Galleries with another
round of applause. Their fine
performance was filled with won-
derful entertainment. Hopefully.
Agnes Scott can have the plea-
sure of hosting these young
performers again.

The compositions will be
evaluated on the basis of aes-
thetic qualities, craftsmanship,
and performability. If none of the
entries is judged to be satisfactory
in all three categories, no award
will be given.

Since the contest's inception in
1976. winning compositions have
been added to the Agnes Scott
College Music Library for perfor-
mance by the College Glee Club.

, Disney Reissues Classic Song
of the South for the Holidays

Br'er Rabbit runs awa? from his briar patch in "Song of the South."

The Creek Heads for
Fame with New Name
and Album

by Kimberly Baker

The Creek, formerly Sugar-
creek, a Charlotte-based rock
band, has released its fourth
album, the first since its name
change. The album entitled The
Creek may be the groups ticket
to national attention.

The Creek, a 1985 Star Search
semi-finalist, has been popular on
college campuses throughout the
Southeast and at the Magic Attic
in Myrtle Beach. It has also been
well-received in Europe, where it
had the best-selling import album
in England in August 1985 as
reported by Kerrang.

The new album contains ten
selections, all of which were
written by The Creek and demon-
strate the personality of the group.
The group's characteristic sound

includes much rhythmic repetion
of lines throughout the songs
which makes the lyrics easy to
learn and leads to exciting parties
and concerts at which the fans
can sing along.

The Creek features 'Six Days
to Sunday" and "Arthur Whiteside"
which have been released as
singles. "Dialing Numbers" and
"Love Found Me (Ain't That
Enough)" are two other exciting,
upbeat songs. The lyrics focus on
the typical subjects of love and
passion, but with the exciting
music the lyrics often seem
almost secondary to the music.

Fans across the Southeast
have long enjoyed the music of
The Creek whose success has
spread to Europe. With the expo-
sure from Star Search and The
Creek, the fame of The Creek is
likely to spread nationwide.

Song of the South. Walt Dis-
ney's childhood classic based on
the Uncle Remus tales, returned
to Atlanta for its fortieth anniver-
sary. The premiere, the movie's
third, at the Lefont Tara Theater
was complete with a jazz band
and special appearances by Br'er
Fox. Br'er Bear. Marc Davis. Ruth
Warrick, and Governor Joe Frank
Harris. The opening night gala
benefited the Wren's Nest, the
home of Joel Chandler Harris who
wrote the wonderful Uncle Remus
stories.

Song of the South received an
Academy Award for the song
"Zippity-Dee-Doo-Dah" while
James Baskett received an honor-
ary Oscar for his heart warming
portrayal of Uncle Remus. The
film, always a popular movie in

Disney's library, set an animated
reissue box-office record in 1972.

Davis, director of animation,
explained the technical difficulties
involved in 1946 of combining live
and animated photography. He
remembers. "One of the amazing
features of Mr. Baskett's acting
was that he truly seemed to be
seeing Br'er Rabbit and all the
critters in the animated forest." In
actuality, Mr. Baskett would be
standing in front of a blue back-
ground speaking to no one. The
animals were added in the editing
room. Mr. Davis also explained
the measures taken to create the
life-like cartoon characters in
order to win the approval of Walt
Disney. Disney also strived to
assure that the film would never
appear dated because he wanted
his films to be classics that would
live from generation to generation.

Warrick was thrilled to return to
Georgia for a warming celebra-
tion. She recalled that the first

premiere in 1946 was meant to be
as big as that of Gone with the
Wind in Disney's mind. She also
laughingly remembered Disney
saying that he did not know how
to direct actors because he could
not simply rub them out as he did
with his cartoon characters.
Warrick was glad that the movie
was never banned. She said,
''Song of the South celebrated the
humanity of the slaves and should
not be considered condescend-
ing. They did sing to and from
work, therefore the film is entitled
to incorporate such historic herit-
age in its scenes."

Song of the South is now
playing at many theaters through-
out the country during the Christ-
mas season. No matter how many
times one sees the movie, the
tales of Br'er Rabbit will always
be enchanting. No one should
miss this chance to enjoy this fun
and heartwarming classic.

Academy Presents Holiday Favorite A Christmas Carol

As it prepares to move to its
glorious new quarters at 14th and
Juniper Streets, the Academy
Theatre will bring a chapter of its
31 -year-history to a fitting close
with its annual holiday favorite. A
Christmas Carol Adapted and
directed by Academy's Associate
Artistic Director John Stephens. A
Christmas Carol is a lavish musi-
cal adaptation of the beloved
Dickens classic about the man
who called Christmas "humbug."
A Christmas Carol opened De-
cember 10 and runs daily except
Mondays through December 24.
Evening showtime are 8 p.m. and
Saturday and Sunday matinees
begin at 3.

Now in its seventh consecutive
season as the Academy's holiday
special. A Christmas Carol is once
again familiar, yet fresh. To the

expected cast of Scrooge.
Cratchit. Tiny Tim. Marley and the
three ghosts, director Stephens
has added a host of colorful
Dickensian characters of his own
invention, including pickpockets,
beggars, fine ladies, and ladies of
the evening. And this year there
is a brand new script by Stephens,
newly created and selected music
by Composer-in-Residence Phillip
DePoy. a new set by Technical
Director C. Stuart Wolfe, and a
new Scrooge Daniel Reichard
Chris Kayser. who has previously
played Scrooge, is cast this year
as Dickens himself.

In the new version. Director
Stephens will emphasize the
loneliness of Scrooge and the
miracle of his transformation.
This is a man so cold, so hard-

hearted, so isolated from his
fellow human beings that only
through a miracle can he become
reengaged in life and gain the
capacity to love and embrace
those around him. This is a radical
political idea that even one so
profit-minded and uncaring can
change an idea that is needed
today. But A Christmas Carol is
more than the story of Scrooge.
It's the story of the poor, the
homeless, the disenfranchised,
and the transforming power of
Christmas on them."

All of the elements in A Christ-
mas Carol contribute to Stephen's
vision of a dreary world in hope
of change Phillip DePoy has
selected obscure English carols
"In the Bleak Midwinter. ". "Sweet
Hope of Glory.'' "Lonesome
Dove" to enhance the mood. C.

Stuart Wolfe has designed a set
depicting Lower Eastside London
of the 1830's. a dirty, industrialized
city brightened by bits of greenery
for the holiday And period cos-
tumes by Judy Winograd's Pro-
duction Values. Inc. (PVI) will
heighten the effect.

A Christmas Carol is well suited
to the Academy's transformational
style as cast members assume
multiple roles evoking the teeming
life of Dickens' London Hookers,
beggars and pickpockets who
later become ghosts add flavor to
the usual cast of characters In
the familiar roles are Dan
Reichard as Scrooge. Chris
Kayser as Dickens. Kevin Crysler
as Cratchit and Winslow Thomas
as Marley. The rest of the versatile
cast includes Michael Maschinot.

John Liles, Heather Heath.
Susanne Anson, Hilari Scarl,
Spring Mason, and Lori Wolford.
Phillip DePoy doubles as Music
Director and street musician.

A special feature of this year's
production will be a large, festive
Christmas tree in the theatre
lobby Families are encouraged to
bring ornaments to add to this last
tree in the Academy's old lobby.

Tickets for A Christmas Carol
may be purchased at the box
office, located at Peachtree and
13th Streets, one block south of
Colony Square. Box office hours

The Nutcracker Comes
to the Movie Theater

For nearly a century, The Nut-
cracker has been the crowd-
pleasing event of the holiday
season. Whether is it the candy-
coated, two-aci ballet, the concert
version of the Tchaikovsky score,
showy excerpts for world-class
ballerinas, or the internationally
telecast Baryshnikov version. The
Nutcracker never fails to please
and entertain. It is a classic ... at
Christmas and whenever it is
performed.

Curiously, in all its incarnations
and permutations. The Nut-
cracker has never been a film.
(The closest it came was in one
version of Disney's Fantasia
which featured The Nutcracker
Suite. )

Only now. December. 1986:
Nutcracker is a delightful, innova-
tive, and magical movie, directed
by Carroll Ballard {The Black
Stallion, Never Cry Wolf), de-
signed by award-winning chil-
dren's book writer/illustrator
Maurice Sendak. choreographed
by the imaginative Kent Stowell.
and starring the Pacific Northwest
Ballet's original production, con-
ceived by Stowell and Sendak.
and first presented live in Seattle.
Washington. Stowell and Francia
Russell are the Artistic Directors
of the Pacific Northwest Ballet.

Thomas Coleman and Michael

Rosenblatt present Nutcracker, a
Hypenon/'Kushner-Locke Produc-
tion, produced by Willard Carroll.

Thomas L. Wilhite. Music is by
Peter llyich Tchaikovsky, per-
formed by the London Symphony
Orchestra, and conducted by Sir
Charles Mackerras. Nutcracker is

Between 1892 - the world
premiere and now. The Nut-
cracker has proliferated all over
the world. In the U.S. alone, there
are 70-odd productions each
Christmas, making it the basic
bread-winner for most regional
ballet companies. Dolls, books,
video cassettes, and millions of
records (one company alone has
issued 55 different recordings of
the Tchaikovsky score) attest to
the popularity of the work.

Its appeal, points out New York
Times critic Anna Kisselgoff.
cannot be for children alone. The
theme of The Nutcracker the
struggle between good and evil,
between light and darkness
and the perpetual success of its
many and varied productions
confirm its ability to communicate
that content on several levels

and entertainment . . . Nut-

Coach and Player Comment on the Soccer Season

by Coach Read Cuvington

Filled with wonder and excite-
ment. I looked forward to the
opportunity of coaching the Agnes
Scott Soccer team. We had our
first practice and game. The two
seem like one in my memory and
I remember thinking. "What have
I gotten myself into now 9 " That
first game, and the away game
against Wesleyan College were
the only two disappointing times
of the year.

Throughout the season the
Kickers made great progress and
toward the end of the season
really showed great promise for
the upcoming spring season.
They were making good passes
and actually playing soccer as
opposed to kicking the ball and
hoping that someone would run
in that direction. In the Wesleyan
game here at Agnes Scott, the
Kickers could have named the
score. We totally dominated.

A few facts about this past
season: we scored 18 goals, our
record against other colleges was
2-2 and should have been 3-1.
and ASC played well in three of
those four games. We were 0-9-1
in league play but the second time
that we played each team we
improved. Those were good,
experienced, hard-nosed teams
that had played together for years.
ASC did fine. I know how many
goals were scored on us. but no
one else will. The schedule and
injuries really hurt us. We beat
LaGrange. then had a week off.
Black Cat weekend, and then fall
break. So. in the middle of the
season, we basically had to start
over. Injuries cost us one of our
best players. Aimee Peeples. for
ten games. Sharon Hargraves
was out for three games, and she
played hurt for four. Tuba Goksel
missed three games. Many others
played hurt through several
games. This brings me to a major
point. ASC has 10-13 strong
players but very little depth. When
we get hurt, it really hurts. This is
not to say our sideline is weak,
only that it is inexperienced. They
would do best if they could learn
the game more slowly and not be
called on to play the whole game

and be great.

We will be playing in the spring
against other colleges, and I hope
to have early tryouts in March.
Please come out and give it a try
because you'll enjoy the sport.
Ask those who played. By the
way. I'm not as mean as I look.

The future is a bright one. Next
fall ASC will have lost some very
good seniors in Kathy McKee,
Lisa Olliff. Natalie "Raleigh"
Whitten, Tuba Goskel, Sarah
Garland, and Gretchen Pfeifer.
However, we have budding stars
in other classes, Aimee Peeples,
Sally Mairs, Jennifer Peluso,
Karen King, Sharon Hargraves,
Jean Wilson, Eleanor Dill, Adele
Clements, Michelle Malone.
Laura Williams, and Shan Oates.
They form a great nucleus from
which to work. And then of course,
there is Katie Patillo, whom we
hope to share with tennis.

I look forward to the spring with
wonder and excitement.

A personal note to the team if I
may: Thank you for dinner and the
great card. I really appreciate the
effort that you all made to be there
and while I love gifts, the fact that
you came was reward enough.
And I would like to add that the
team thanks Killer. LeRoy. and
Hilary for subbing in when we
needed you. We hope that backs,
legs, knees, and other parts are
okay. Sally. Aimee. Sarah. Kathy.
and Tuba, thanks for the dedica-
tion. We need more like you to
make this a great team.

I would like to note a few players
who played exceptionally well
(everyone else played very well).
Sally Mairs was a strong, good,
versatile player, who played many
positions this year and played
them well. She has a fine feel for
the game, and it hurt us all badly
when she went down. Tuba and
Karen King are two outstanding
defenders, who rarely if ever are
beaten. Tuba is so good that at
times she takes pity on the other
team and scores for them. Jennifer
and Jean are two freshmen who
played well and will continue to
improve. Kathy is our star. No
words can describe her great play.
Katie, please play with us.
Everyone improved and great
things are on the horizon.

Two weeks ago we. Agnes
Scott's soccer team, ended our
season with the final two games.
The first game was played at
home on Saturday afternoon
against the Espiros. It was a
rather pleasant game with quick
action and new faces. Who were
those two masked Kickers 7
Thanks to Claire Guitton and Amy
Gottsche's hustling feet, the
Kickers kept the ball moving all
over the field. We never scored,
but we came close a few times.
The Kickers had exactly 11
players, so there were no substi-
tutes available. Needless to say.
the score was 4-0 Espiros, but in
the final half, despite the bad
weather, our spirits were not
dampened. We felt more confi-
dent about ourselves, realizing
that the spring would require
some hard work but with hopeful
results in sight.

On Sunday we piled into the
van and drove to Rockdale to play
against the ruff n' not so tuff
Resistors. We resisted many of
their moves, but unfortunately
played once again without subs.
Despite our 4-0 loss, however, we
learned from the other team that

soccer is no kick in the grass
when a team has terrible hang-
overs. We might not have been
victorious, but at least we were
sober!

In short, we. the AS Kickers,
have come far in our sportive
endeavour. Next spring should
prove to be an even greater
success, and I'm sure that those
members who are not graduating
hope that more people come out
to join the team. I thank the team
for hanging in there during all
those trying games and for com-
ing to practice regularly. I am also
sure that the team's place in the
league will become an outstand-

ing one in the future.

Having participated in the birth
of this team and being a member
for the past three years, I have
decided it's time to say goodbye.
Besides, it's time for some new
"kicks." I hereby retire as an AS
Kicker, hanging up my cleats next
to the permanent space on my
desk which the law books will
soon occupy.

Keep up the good work Kickers,
and best of luck in the future -
and by the way ye dog own-
ers .. . NO DOGS ON THE SOC-
CER FIELD NEXT SPRING'"
Mud is about all we like to find
under our cleats.

Football Appeals to ASC Students

by Debbie L. Strickland

A liberal arts education at a
small southern women's college
has many advantages over an
education at a large university, but
there are also many fun college
activities that are onty available at
the major universities like UGA.
FSU. UNC. and Ga. Tech. But
fortunately, the proximity of Geor-
gia Tech allows Agnes Scott
students to enjoy the best of both
worlds. And one of the most fun
ways to take advantage of this
opportunity is to attend football
games, games which engender a
multitude of fond memories of
cheering, watching big plays, and
shivering in the chilly autumn wind
with a special date.

Agnes Scott students give

many reasons for making the trek
downtown on Saturday after-
noons. The first and foremost
reason for spending a day at
another school is to get away from
the Agnes Scott campus after a
long week of academic pressure.
Because ASC is such a small
college, many like to just meet
some different people. They also
cite the opportunity to experience
frenzied school spirit as a motivat-
ing factor. Although Agnes Scott
students are proud of their school,
there is little opportunity to cheer
and get excited; many miss that
experience after several years of
attending high school games.
Other students seek fraternity life.
After the game they go with dates
to the fraternity houses, where
they "veg out" (relax), and still
later they go out to dinner. Finally,
after a day of non-stop non-

studying, they return to Agnes
Scott, where Monday's paper
often looms.

Some fans are disappointed
because the Georgia Tech Yellow-
jackets, with a record of 5-4-1.
have experienced a most uneven
season, beating Virginia Military
Institute 52-6 and losing to a weak
Wake Forest team 24-21. The
Wake Forest loss cost them a
chance at post-season play in the
Bluebonnet Bowl. Of course, the
big game of the season was the
homecoming game against their
archrival, the University of Geor-
gia. Tech lost the game, but many
Agnes Scott students who at-
tended had a fantastic time
before, during and after the game.
Attending Georgia Tech football
games in the fall has been
considered for many years to be
the best way to get out of the dorm .

Basketball Season Cancelled Due to Lack of Interest

by Debbie L. Strickland

On December 1, Coach Cindy
Peterson held a meeting in the
gym for those interested in playing
basketball. Only four "faithful"
showed up. Tracie Lynn Chapski.
Shaman Roe. Adele Clements,
and Claire Guitton. Peterson had
tried once before during the first
week of November to organize a
team, but only four people consis-
tently came to the practices
Attributing the poor November
turnout to the ongoing tennis,
volleyball, and soccer seasons,
which were all still in progress,
she decided to try again in
December, but she was once

again disappointed. It is now too
late to field a team, so this event
marked the end of basketball as
an extramural sport at Agnes
Scott for at least a year.

Agnes Scott has fielded a
basketball team only since I984-
85. The year before, when
Peterson first came to ASC,
students played intramural bas-
ketball. Classes competed and
the program was somewhat suc-
cessful, but it was often difficult to
get enough players from each
class to participate. Peterson then
decided to form an extramural
team, and in I984, the Agnes Scott
basketball team was born. It was
comprised of fifteen players who
practiced four and a half hours

per week. They played teams from
Emory University, Berry College,
and they played the Georgia
Baptist nurses.

For their second season, they
obtained funding from the Physi-
cal Education department to pay
expenses such as transportation,
meals, etc. They worked their way
through a ten game schedule and
for the second straight year were
winless.

The funding for the 1986-87
season was increased, new uni-
forms were ordered, and a
schedule devised Coach Peterson
said. "We had all the external
factors. We just didn't have the
players." She was very surprised

by the lack of interest, for she
knew of at least ten good players.
She regrets that some excellent
players won't have a program in
which they can utilize their skills
because she believes in "de-
veloping people to their greatest
potential."

Coach Peterson has a theory
to explain such a poor turnout.
There are "too few leaders doing
too many things. Extroverted
people who want to get involved
in many extracurricular activities
become noncommittal to any one
activity." Also, many athletic
students claim their studies allow
them little free time for sports.
Although the cancellation of the
season disappointed Coach

Peterson greatly, she is adopting
an optimistic point of view. If there
had been a basketball team,
Coach Peterson, who coaches
fall and spring tennis, would have
had no season off this year. She
believes that the cancellation was
a signal, a signal to slow down
and relax. She will enjoy this break
from coaching, but still hopes to
organize a team next year.

In the meantime, however.
Coach Peterson is organizing a
program of three on three tourna-
ments to begin January 27.
Interested students' should con-
tact her for more details. Even
though there will be no team this
year, basketball is not yet a dead
sport at Agnes Scott.

Campus Shop Causes Controversy

by Ginny Rosenberg
and Dolly Purvis

The recent 'corporate takeover'
of the Agnes Scott bookstore by
Interstate Texts and Supplies has
Deen a favorite topic of conversa-
tion on campus. During the first
week of the semester, students
were as likely to be relating horror
stories about their book expenses
as they were to be relating their
Christmas vacation exploits. Un-
fortunately, students who must
consider themselves lucky since
their outrageously expensive
books are actually available may
be all too willing to unjustly blame
the bookstore for all of its limita-
tions. [The bookstores change in
management seems to have
taken place with only a few
glitches, such as some confusion
as to what exactly the faculty
discount should be (it's thirty
percent when charged to the
professor's department).] The
bookstore manager Danette
Grubbs' claim that the publishers
are largely at fault for the high
cost of books is supported by
several faculty members who are
familiar with the competitive

pricing practices of most publish-
ing companies. Unsurprisingly
enough, the publishers are also
usually to blame for the inconven-
ient unavailability of ordered
books. While publishing delays
are obviously not the fault of the
bookstore, at least two professors
were not notified by the bookstore
that due to publishing delays their
books would not be available by
the beginning of classes. This lack
of notification left them with very
little time in which to make course
adjustments.

As for prices, an admittedly
limited price comparison showed
that the Campus Shop's prices on
new books were about the same
as the prices of books at Emory.
The Campus Shop's pricing of
used books were, however, con-
siderably higher than that of used
books elsewhere. The greater
variety of titles and quality of used
books at Emory can probably be
attributed to the fact that a larger
campus yields a larger book
market.

Another problem with the used
books which are available on
campus is the perceived discrep-
ancy between the low prices the
bookstore is willing to pay stu-

dents for used books, and the
high prices the store then charges
for them. A used book for a
language class turned out to be
no great bargain when it was
discovered that the book's previ-
ous owner had written transla-
tions all throughout the book.

The recent dismissal of all
student workers from their
bookstore jobs has also caused
some controversy. The former
student workers, who had gone to
a iot of trouble to adjust their
schedules so that they could work
longer shifts, were fired on only
two days notice although the
bookstore owner had apparently
been considering this move since
October. The explanation given
was that student workers were
not able to work over breaks and
their schedules were too difficult
to work around. Sophomore
Heather Goodall said, "I think it is
a disadvantage to all concerned
that the bookstore now lacks any
student input." Junior Gina Greely,
a former bookstore employee,
commented that "working in the
bookstore was a valuable retail
experience which will be greatly
missed in the Financial Aid pro-
gram."

Global Awareness Fills "Missing Link"

Former Agnes Seott President, Dr. Wallace McPherson Alston.

Dr. Alston Remembered

A recent report by the Southern
Governors Association called
international awareness a, "criti-
cal missing link" in the educational
reform movement, and recom-
mended sweeping reforms in the
nation's approach to educating
students to compete in a growing
world economy.

According to survey results re-
leased in January 10.3 percent of
Agnes Scott freshmen plan careers
in the foreign service, compared
with 3.6 percent of freshmen from
other highly selective, four-year
protestant colleges and univer-
sities across the United States.
"This statistic," says Agnes Scott
President Ruth Schmidt, "reflects
two important factors: one is these

students' recognition of the grow-
ing importance of broadening their
perspectives on international is-
sues and the second is Agnes
Scott College's emphasis on in-
ternational study.

"Under Agnes Scott's new Global
Awareness Program, students are
encouraged not only to become
acquainted with other cultures
through international study/travel
programs, but they also are ex-
posed to international problems
and issues throughout their cur-
riculum."

The Astin Survey, part of the
Cooperative Institutional Re-
search Program conducted jointly
by the American Council on Edu-
cation and the University of Cal-

ifornia. Los Angeles, also showed
that a greater proportion of Agnes
Scott freshmen plan to major in
foreign languages and more plan
careers in engineering, clinical
psychology, law, writing or jour-
nalism. Despite national figures
that show a decline in English
majors over the past 20 years,
from 4.4 percent in 1966 to a
startling 1 percent in 1985, the
percentage of Agnes Scott fresh-
men planning to major in English
is 9.3.

Nearly 83 percent of Agnes Scott
freshmen plan to earn graduate
degrees, with 14.5 percent plan-
ning careers as lawyers or physi-
cians and more then 10 percent
planning to be business execu-
tives or proprietors.

by Heather Rogers

Dr. Wallace McPherson Alston,
third president and President
Emeritus of Agnes Scott College,
was remembered in a memorial
service held during the convoca-
tion hour of Wednesday, January
28. Dr. Alston died in his Lithonia
home on January 14.

Representatives of Agnes Scott,
including President Schmidt and
former Dean. Dr. Ben Kline, spoke
affectionately of Dr. Alston's love
of learning, his genuine interest in
the Agnes Scott students, as well
as his generous service to Agnes
Scott College and the community.

Dr. Alston joined Aqnes Scott in

1948 as vice president and profes-
sor of philosophy. He served as
president from 1951 to 1973. He
is well respected as an accom-
plished president who increased
the College's endowment twelve-
fold, among other achievements.

When Dr. Alston retired in 1973,
the Board of Trustees established
the Wallace McPherson Alston
Professorship of Bible and Reli-
gion. The Board also decided that
the campus center to be completed
in the fall of 1987 would be named
in honor of Dr. Alston.

Dr. Alston was a Presbyterian
minister, and in 1961 he served as
moderator of the General Assem-
bly of the Presbyterian Church
USA.

The Agnes Scott student can often find herself isolated from the
outside world. Tests, papers, and the daily hustle and bustle can
easily become the central focus of her life. She can exist amidst
the towers of Agnes Scott for weeks on end with no outside
involvement. Is it not sad that many students are unaware of the
events that take place beyond the campus community, as well as
those within it? Should we not motivate ourselves to become more
involved in the issues occurring only miles away from us 9

One recent event has been virtually impossible for the Agnes
Scott student to ignore. As the newspapers and television stations,
as well as student organizations on campus, have devoted much
attention to the recent racial problems, the march in Forsyth County
has become a main concern of many on the Agnes Scott campus.
A number of students, black and white, participated in the march
on Saturday, January 24th.

Yet, there is still another problem to face. Even though the Agnes
Scott student may become involved in the events of the outside
community, how does this involvement and awareness affect her
life on campus? When speaking with a student from Emory
University, one Agnes Scott student found herself speechless when
asked about the racial situation at Agnes Scott. Does this lack of
knowledge mean that we are becoming involved on the surface,
and then ignoring the problems that most closely affect our lives 9
Perhaps there is no racism on our campus, or are we simply refusing
to acknowledge it 9 I ask you, the Agnes Scott community, to respond
to the recent events and to examine what part they play in our lives.
Perhaps we can express our feelings and opinions to one another.

Students Welcome
At Tabletalks

Dear Editor:

During the fall semester a
question arose about student
attendance at the biweekly Fac-
ulty/Staff Tabletalks.

By vote of those members of
the faculty and staff present at a
recent such luncheon, it was
decided that in the future any
student who is interested in the
topic being discussed should feel
welcome to attend. Announce-
ments of these meetings appear
in the college's calendar of events.

In the event that a particular
speaker expresses a preference
that students not be present, this
request will be noted in the
calendar.

I am personally delighted at this
expression of student interest and
hope that those students who
want to attend will find them as
stimulating and provocative as we
of the faculty and staff have for
the past four years.
Sincerely yours,
Lee B. Copple

Convener. Faculty/Staff Tabletalks

Honor Court
Offers
Information

Dear Editor:

With the large number of cam-
pus events already in place for the
Spring Semester. Honor Court is

going to try a new tactic for
answering questions about the
Court and the System that does
not involve attempting to unite a
group of people at some common
time. Although we were pleased
with the turnout for the "Mock
Case" held in the fall, we are still
concerned with those who have
conflicting meetings, practices,
studying, jobs, and so forth.

To address this problem, we are
putting a box in the mail room for
people to submit suggestions,
questions and complaints. No one
need sign their name, and we will
attempt to answer legitimate
responses via The Profile. The
box is not for those with problems
relating to possible Honor Code
violations, which should still be
discussed with a Court represen-
tative or officer. The box will
serve we hope as- a forum for
information and "feedback."
Thank you,
Dana Keller
RTC Representative

Book Store Acts
Unprofessionally

Dear Editor:

I have written this letter in an
effort to stop rumors and set the
record straight. There have been
many stories floating around
about recent incidents in the
campus shop. It is true that all the
student workers in the bookstore
were "let go". It is also true that
the students were fired because

they could work only part time due
to class obligations. Furthermore,
the bookstore gave the students
only two days notice AFTER they
had worked through book rush.

It is customary and proper for
an employer to give an employee
two weeks notice. I, for one, would
have appreciated that courtesy.
The owners had been planning
the change for three months and
gave the students no indication
that they would soon be out of a
job. This particularly angered me
because I had given up a financial
aid job and a possible internship
for the bookstore job.

Most importantly, the student
workers served as a valuable and
much needed liaison between
other students and the bookstore.
There is now little or no student
input which is unfortunate in a
community as tightly knit and
student oriented as Agnes Scott.
I, along with many other students,
professors, and faculty members,
miss the personal, caring touch
that is now sadly missing.
Sincerely,
Gina Greely

Sexism and the College Campus

REP RAP

In what seemingly has become
an annual condemnation, a lead-
ing national college women's group
says campuses nationwide still
are fundamentally inhospitable to
women.

Discrimination, the Washington-
based Project on the Status and
Education of Women recently re-
ported, is subtler, hiring practices
are less sexist and male profes-
sors are friendlier, but college
campuses remain a "chilly" place
for most women students and fac-
ulty members.

"While many men are not aware
they're being discriminatory," ex-
plains Bernice Sandler of the Proj-
ect, which is part of the Associa-
tion of American Colleges, "many
women don't realize when they're
being discriminated against."

Women are now getting better
jobs in higher education, but have
a harder time getting promotions
than their male counterparts do,
the report called "The Campus
Climate Revisited: Chilly for Wo-
men Faculty. Administrators and
Graduate Students" asserts.

And progress may slow in the
near future, other observers say,
because many people think most
of the problems of college sexism
are solved.

"Some say the 1970s was the
decade for women, and now we're
passed that." says Judy Touchton

of the American Council on Edu-
cation's Office of Women in Higher
Education.

"But we're not. There's a con-
tinuing need to keep women on
the agenda. Our intention is to
make sure lots of others talk about
treatment of women in higher
education."

So one reason for "The Cam-
pus Climate Revisited," which re-
prises many of the points made
in the Project on the Status of
Women's 1984 report called "The
Classroom Climate," is in part
to "keep up the momentum" of
change.

"There's lots being said and lots
of studies and articles being writt-
en about what needs to be done,"
Touchton says. "It's hard to say
how successful we are, but we
want references to women and to
discrimination in every report on
higher education."

The new report notes few if any
colleges still openly discriminate
against women or even condone
discrimination by ignoring it.

"Lots of overtly discriminatory
practices on campuses have been
handled," Sandler says. "Now it's
more subtle, but people are more
aware of the issues."

"There are people who believe
that discrimination on campus has
been solved once you let women
in as teachers and administrators.
But that's not enough."

In most schools, Sandler con-
tinues, fewer than two women
hold senior administrative posi-
tions, which promotes the idea
that higher education is a career
for men, not women.

"Progress has definitely been
made," says Mary Gray, an Amer-
ican University math professor
and president of the Women's
Equity Action League. "It's easier
for women to get a first job and
to get tenure than it was years
ago."

"Still, it's hard to move up in
administrative positions or to get
tenure at the most prestigious
universities. Keeping up the mo-
mentum is hard."

The movement now is toward
specific issues, often dealing with
both sexes, Gray notes.

"Now many campuses are
adopting parental leave policies
which apply to men as well as
women," she explains. "The im-
petus for it is women, but when
men see it as something that
applies to them, it broadens the
base of support."

Salary and promotion equities
remain the key issues for women
educators, she says. Faculty, ad-
ministrators and students all seek
the same professional treatment
given their male counterparts.

This report is a release from the
College Press Service.

place here on campus. Public Safety is looking into several solutions
such as bolting down the televisions and VCR's or changing the locks
in the Student Center to match existing dorm keys.

Melanie also announced that Buttrick Drive and Evans Drive will
both be closed and bricked up. This is part of the master renovation
plan and will eliminate all parking provided for on this drive.

Anderson gave the devotion. Roll was called.

Jill Jordan who was appointed by Rep to research the health services
offered by colleges similar to Agnes Scott reported her findings to Rep.
Jill sent surveys to such colleges as Mary Baldwin, Salem, and
Randolph-Macon and found that many have health services very
similar to ours. Rep formed a committee to further investigate this issue.

Rep discussed the possibility of disbanding three SGA committees:
Outreach, GSA. and Convocation committee. Julie Blewer made a
motion to disband Outreach and Convocation committee. Shelly
Trabue seconded the motion. A vote was taken: 21 in favor. 0 opposed,
and 0 abstentions. The motion passed. It was decided that GSA will
remain an SGA committee until another such campus committee is
formed.

papers at the thirty-fourth annual
Southeastern Undergraduate
Philosopy Conference on Feb-
ruary 20th and 21 st at Vanderbuilt
University in Nashville. Tennes-
see. The conference gives stu-
dents from Tennessee, Georgia,
and South Carolina an opportu-
nity to present and listen to papers
and to particiapte in question and
answer sessions with other stu-
dents. Agnes Scott students who
have attended in the past add that
the conference is also a wonderful
opportunity to meet students from
other schools.

The papers presented at the
conference are usually written for
a class or are a section of an
individual's honors thesis. Stu-
dents either volunteer or are
asked to submit papers. The host
college or university decides
which papers will be read. Al-

though many Agnes Scott stu-
dents have submitted papers, at
this time it is not known which
students will read their papers.

In addition to the presentation
of student papers. Professor
Hubert Dreyfus of the 'University
of California/Berkeley will deliver
the keynote address on "Intelli-
gence and Machines." Professor
Elfstrom has mentioned that
Dreyfus, a well-known author, is
"a lively speaker" that students
will enjoy.

All students are welcome to
attend this conference. Transpor-
tation is free; housing is free; the
only expense is food. Agnes Scott
students are leaving between
2:30 and 3:00 Friday, February
20th and returning late afternoon
or early evening on Saturday,
February 21st. If you would like to
attend, call Professor Elfstrom at
extension 244 before February
15. Elfstrom notes. "Students
seem to find the conference not
only an educational but also an
entertaining experience."

for almost as many deaths each
year as all other causes combined.

But Americans are increasingly
health conscious, and as a result
of lifestyle changes and medical
advances, the heart disease
death rate has declined 32.5%
since 1974.

In the past two decades, mil-
lions of Americans have learned,
about the risk factors of heart
attack and stroke and have tried
to modify them favorably by
seeking medical attention and by
changing the way they live.

Many adults have stopped
smoking. The medical- control of
high blood pressure has greatly
improved. The average choles-
terol level has decreased over the
past 20 years, probably due to
changes in dietary habits and
increased exercise.

What can we do to reduce the
risk of heart disease 9 Here are
some things the American Heart
Association recommends: 1. If
your blood pressure is high, keep
it under control. 2. Don't smoke.
3. Achieve a desirable body
weight. 4. Eat a diet low in
saturated fats and cholesterol. 5.
Exercise regularly.

In efforts to reach everybody
with these messages, the Heart
Association has developed heart
health curricula for youngsters
from pre-school through the 12th
grade an a new "Heart At Work"
program for employees at the
worksite.

you and your family can reduce
your risk of heart disease,

College Bowl Competes

College Bowl numbers prepare to face the competition.

by Daphne Burt

and Ginny Rosenberg

While most Agnes Scott stu-
dents spent the last few days of
their break making one last
desperate bid for vacation happi-
ness, the always dedicated and
hard-working Agnes Scott Col-
lege Bowl team voluntarily cut
short their vacations to play in
Emory's annual Junior Bird tour-
nament. This tournament is open
only to freshman and sophomore
College Bowlers, in order to give
those less experienced players
an opportunity to play similarly
inexperienced players rather than
fourth-year graduate students.

Examining the Library Issue

by Lisa Gugino

In an attempt to unravel one of
the many mysteries at Agnes
Scott, students, faculty members
and the librarians were asked the
question, "Do you find the Agnes
Scott library to be antiquated 9 " As
students spewed out one com-
plaint after another about the
library, it became clear that this
topic was more complex than
initially thought. Decidedly, the
complexities of this "hot potato"
could only be unraveled through
some thorough investigation of all
parties involved in the obtainment
of journals and books.

Before succumbing to the nega-
tives received from students. Mrs.
Jenson, head librarian, was asked
to explain the budgetary process
used in alloting money to the
various disciplines. Mrs. Jenson
explained. The library's budget is
presented at the beginning of
each year and is divided into an
.allotment for books and an allot-
ment for periodicals. Three
fourths of the money alloted for
books is reallocated across all the
disciplines. At this point it is up to
the professors of each depart-
ment to assess what they need
within the confines of their budget
and present their order by April

15th." Mrs. Jenson explained that
the student's complaints about a
lack of journals and books in such
disciplines as Psychology and
Political Science were often due
to the increasing specialization of
topics. She continued to em-
phasize that Agnes Scott's library
was relatively up-to-date, for a
library and budget of its size.

Deducing from Mrs. Jenson's
statement, it became clear that
this topic should be discussed
with some of the professors
whose students complained
most. Professor of Political Sci-
ence. Dr. Cathy Scott, explained
that the inadequacies in her
discipline stemmed from the fact
that the general emphasis is on
contemporary studies and that,
try as they might, in a department
of two it becomes very difficult to
constantly update the materials in
the library. When asked about the
department's budgetary con-
straints. Dr. Scott, laughingly,
added that any budget alloted in
a school this size would probably
be too small for her tastes,
considering the wealth of topics
covered under Political Science
and International Relations.

The most largely complained
about discipline was Psychology,
whose students are responsible
for numerous papers on recent
studies and experiments. Dr.

Copple, Chair of the Psychology
Department, had sentiments very
similar to that of Dr. Scott. He
feels that the discipline is expand-
ing at such a quick pace that it
becomes impossible to keep up
with the students' demands for
the most up-to-date material.
However, he felt that the budget
alloted to the department was
very generous.

The students who responded
that the library had problems with
too much out-dated and too few
recent materials were predomi-
nantly majors in the social sci-
ences. One student hypothesized
that the problem may be linked to
the fact that the faculty do not use
the library themselves for exten-
sive research purposes, and
therefore do not realize serious
deficiencies that exist. Another
student suggested that the prob-
lem may be exaggerated by
student's high expectations after
using the interloan library system
and seeing the resources avail-
able at large universities like
Emory and Georgia State.

After investigating this subject,
it seems that the mystery remains
unsolved. At least the subject is
better clarified and open for
discussion. Presently, the chal-
lenge for the Agnes Scott commu-
nity is to question what is wanted
from the library and most of all
what is needed.

Pfeifer Publishes Article

by Julie Huffaker

Gretchen Pfeifer. a senior
French and Philosophy major, has
plans to attend law school follow-
ing her graduation from Agnes
Scott. Gretchen. originally from
New Jersey, would prefer to return
to the north for law school.

Last spring in her Existentialism
philosophy class, Gretchen wrote
a paper entitled "The Uber-
mensch and the Eternal Recur-
rence." Gretchen analyzed and
criticized Walter Kauffman's book
in her paper. She also analyzed

and criticized the German
philosopher Neitzshe's ideas
concerning the ubermensch.
Finally, she showed how
Kauffman and Nietzshe are
inseparable.

The ubermensch is described
as a superman who rises out of
the masses of average men He
has the highest of values and
enormous self control. "His goal
in life and that which keeps him
alive is struggle." says Gretchen.
She says that the way one
distinguishes an ubermensch
from an ordinary man is to ask
him if he would be willing to live
his life ad infinitum, exactly the

same finite life over and over
again. If he says yes. then he is
an ubermensch.

Last February. Gretchen pre-
sented her paper at the South-
eastern Philosophy conference in
Athens. Dr. Elfstrom encouraged
Gretchen to send her paper in for
publication in "The Dialogue."
the journal of Phi Sigma Tau,
the philosophy honor society.
Gretchen received word this past
December that her paper would
be published in May of 1987. She
was also honored by having her
name listed as a reference in the
Philosophical Index.

ment debut). Daphne Burt. Ginny

participated. The team made a
respectable showing with six wins
and nine losses (many of them
quite close). The team probably
took the most pride in thoroughly
alarming the North Carolina State
team before they achieved a
narrow five point victory by being,
literally, only a split second faster
than Agnes Scott on the last
question. Team member Ginny
Rosenberg placed ninth overall in
individual ranking and received
an honorable mention on the All -
Star Team ballot.

Professor Profile

by Elizabeth Smith

The Agnes Scott student often
wonders about the lives of her
professors. Although it may be
known that the professor has a
doctoral degree by his or her title,
the students are usually unaware
of the scope of accomplishments
or the range of expertise of a
professor. When a student discov-
ers more than the surface informa-
tion, it can prove to be a fascina-
ting experience. Dr. Donna
Sadler-Davis, one of the newest
additions to the Agnes Scott Art
History Department, is truly such
a person.

Dr. Sadler-Davis received her
B.A. from Boston University and
her M.A. and Ph.D. from Indiana
University. Her doctoral disserta-
tion was on the "Sculptural Pro-
gram of the Verso of the West
Facade of the Reims Cathedral."
She has taught art history at Texas
Christian University. East
Carolina University, and Mount
Holyoke College. Primarily inter-
ested in Medieval Art. she has
given talks at a number of annual
meetings of the International
Congress on Medieval Studies as
well as at various other medieval
colloquia.

One of the most interesting
things about her background is
the wide range of international
studies in which she has taken

part. As an undergraduate, her
junior year was spent studying in
Athens, Greece. In the summer
she worked on the excavation of
Agios Petros near Alonissos,
Greece. After graduation she
worked for a group called Art
Explorers, a service for galleries
and collectors. This included her
traveling to the Far East, Russia,
and Eastern and Central Europe.

The summers, during the years
she was working on her M.A..
were spent in Troyes. France.
While she was in France, she was
involved in the excavation of
Troyes Cathedral's transept and
the study of Gothic Architecture.

The research for her Ph.D. was
done in Reims. France. She spent
the summers studying in Germany
and Spain. Naturally, she has
acquired a variety of language
skills including reading knowledge
of French. Spanish, German, and
Latin, and conversant ability in
French. Spanish and Modern
Greek.

As one can expect, her interna-
tional studies will not end at Agnes
Scott. In the beginning of this
summer, she will teach Greek Art
at the Global Awareness Program
in Athens. Greece, and she will
spend the later part of her sum-
mer studying in France. She has
also been given a grant by the
American Council of Learned
Societies to write a book on art
and politics in 13th century France.

Editorials:

Reflecting on the March

Students assemble in Atlanta before the march.

by Geraldine Crandall

I participated in a civil rights
march for the first time in my life
on Saturday. January 24th in
Forsyth County. Georgia. It was
the first time I had "walked the
highways" for anything. It was one
of the most satisfying, rewarding
and moving experiences I have
had since coming to Agnes Scott.
I have been sitting here struggling
a bit to put my feelings into focus,
but I think I have just found a way
to begin.

The sun has been shining
through the beveled windows at
the front of our house, and it has
created a beautiful rich rainbow
reflection across the front of my
black shirt. The shirt has holes in
it from my neighbor's dog and to
me they represent the holes in the
Civil Rights Movement that cause
black people to still have to
struggle for rights that were theirs
a long, long time ago. The rich
rainbow, on the other hand,
reminds me of the overwhelm-
ingly positive and caring response
of more than twenty thousand
people to the struggle which has
risen again in Cumming. Georgia.
I would like to share some of my
feelings and experiences from
that day.

I was a teenager during the
sixties. I did not participate in the
civil rights struggle back then. I
lived in a protected white atmos-
phere and thought the problem of
discrimination existed only in the
South. That has changed over the
years.

A group from Agnes Scott was
at the Hunter Street Baptist
Church on Friday night before the
march. I stood there trying to take
in the incredible numbers of
people who kept pouring into the
church as we sang a marching
hymn. Ross Belliard leaned over
and yelled to me, "This is history,
Gem."

In retrospect, when I heard that
people, who were attempting to
celebrate Dr. King's birthday were
attacked, I think I knew that I
would be a part of this history.
Something in me said that it was-
ludicrous for people to be at-

tacked for marching in the
eighties. We're not behaving like
that any more, or are we? A
woman from Texas, who works in
the area of mental health, gave
what I think was a very delightful
assessment of the situation in
Forsyth County. She told me that,
as she understood it, there is a
part of the child in us that stays
with us as we mature, and if not
denied, it is a very precious part
of us. She said. "Knocking down a
fence to run after a group of other
adults and throwing rocks and
bottles at them on a public street
certainly sounds like holding onto
the wrong part of their childhood
to me."

Those of us from Agnes Scott
who had signed up to be marshals
on buses had to be back at the
King Center by 7:00 a.m. on
Saturday morning. We didn't get
much sleep that Friday night for
a number of obvious reasons.
Finally, our group was organized,
and the captain of our group
rushed us over to the Civic Center
in the back of his pickup truck. I
have never ridden in the back of
a pickup truck with the tempera-
ture at 17 degrees above zero.

were finally loaded when we
had squeezed all of the people
onto the buses. It was a fascina-
ting sight. You could not tell where
the line of buses ended. Right
before we departed. I got off of
my bus for awhile and looked
around. I was very proud of what
I saw. As a friend of mine would
say: "This is a heavy duty drama
we're looking at here." I saw black
people, white people, people who
were half white and half black,
people who were Mexican. Euro-
pean, and Asian. I saw people
with punk rock hairdo's in blue
and yellow. I met people from
Missouri and Texas, and I met a
man who when he heard what
had happened in Forsyth County,
put on his coat, got into his car.
and drove down from Canada by
himself to participate. I saw
people who were wealthy, poor,
single, married, teenage, and
elderly. There were people who
had marched in the sixties, and a
lot of us who had not. As one
young man from Cumming was
quoted as saying: "God almighty,

look at all those people."

I chatted with a woman on the
bus who was holding a yellow
sign that read : "No, we will not
go back to the hate of the 60's."
She told me that she was involved
in the march so that she could
thank Dr. King for all that he had
done to help people deal more
kindly and compassionately with
one another. From various other
conversations that I heard, a lot
of people had that same feeling.

One man told me that he
thought "it was like desecrating
Dr. King's grave to start churning
up all that hatred again." "Who
needs it." he said. He was not
asking me a question, he was
making a statement.

There were a lot of intense
feelings that day. There was
righteous indignation, anger,
frustration, and sadness, but
there was also a very definite and
profound sense of purpose and
determination. It was nice that
there were 20.000 people who
seemed to have the same positive
feelings.

The 85 people on our bus were
divided into groups. We got off the
bus on the expressway ramp
outside of Cumming, and started
our march six abreast with arms
locked tightly together. Something
happened in our particular group
of six that made me think that
maybe we had made some prog-
ress over the past 35 years. I
locked arms with and marched
next to a Black woman named
Emma who feeds the poor and
runs a day care enter. Emma
marched for her civil rights in the
sixties. I think that she is a very
special person. She kept mention-
ing throughout the march that the
appearance of the national guard
frightened her. We were all so
apprehensive that I guess at the
time we couldn't understand what
was going through her mind.
Evidently, when Emma marched
in the sixties, law enforcement
officers were not there to protect
her but to harrass her. This time
there were not only 2,000 national
guardsmen to protect Emma, but
there were helicopters, state
patrol, and local sheriff's depart-
ment personnel as well.

students and friends

is evidently doing more than just
clearing away the cobwebs from
my mind and toughening me up.
I am being reminded that I really
do care, and maybe I should do
something more than just give lip
service. I feel fine about what I
did on January 24th, and I guess
I would probably do it again.

When our bus driver let us off
the bus at the King Center, we
were completely enervated, but
relieved to be back home in one
oiece. We all hugged one another.

by Ross Beliard

Things have changed a lot over
the years since Black Americans
first began what seemed an
elusive search for the rights and
freedoms guaranteed by the
constitution. The Civil Rights Move-
ment has been seen through the
dark and violent days of Martin
Luther King and Emmet Till in
Birmingham, Alabama and re-
cently Forsyth County. Georgia.
Few issues generated as much
consciousness in that movement
as did Forsyth County. The prog-
ress achieved in race relations
made this march very different
from previous Civil Right's
marches. The faces, races, ages,
and attitudes of the marches, as
well as the law enforcement
personnel, changed. Even the
vanguard of the Civil Rights
Movement was different.

Imagine the surprise of seeing
Dean Carter, a 27 year old white
southerner, teamed up with
Hosea Williams to march in
Forsyth County against a jeering
contingent of the Klan who ob-
jected to the Friendship March.
Even those elements that com-
prise the KKK changed. These
marches did not face the fate of
earlier civil rights demonstrators
whose local police protection
entered the police station and
changed into their Klan robes.
Yes, things have changed! Now.
the magnitude of this new con-
sciousness was not evident until
I, along with three other Agnes
Scott students, left the Martin
Luther King Center and headed
for Forsyth County, traveling on
the backroads. The backroads
provided us with clear cut, undeni-
able examples of profound
change.

and Emma said that she was
going home to thank the Lord for
introducing us to each other.
Emma started to leave. but she
turned back around. She gave me
the thumbs up sign, and she said:
"I love ya. Gerri." I told her I loved
her too.

On the way back from Cum-
ming. a young man said that he
felt "after all was said and done,
it really was a very fitting celebra-
tion for Martin Luther King's
birthday/

We were first assisted by Mr.
Moore. This elderly white south-
erner came to our aid when a
local sheriff refused to let us exit
off of the obscure road. I can still
remember Mr. Moore's quick and
seemingly firm handshake as we
departed. Thus, from that moment
on. we were constantly reassured
of the changed attitudes when
local citizens and business estab-
lishments provided us with courte-
ous service, excellent directions,
and 80 cent colas.

Of course, our journey would
not have been complete without
the pick-up truck that paraded a
confederate flag and a gun rack.
This truck followed us for over 2
miles. One can only imagine the
sigh of relief as we watched the
truck exit down what seemed to
be a dirt road.

Upon entering Cumming. those
old anxieties returned as we were
greeted by robed Klansmen and
shouts of "Nigger go home." After
what seemed an eternity, the
march got underway against a
backdrop of ugly racism and
provoking signs that read: "James
Earl Ray is an American folk
hero." We arrived at the court-
house square amid a flurry of
confederate flags and anxious
onlookers wearing a variety of
expressions. On the side of the
Klan and their sympathizers, the
expressions indicated intense
hatred and maybe even murder
In the midst of this intense hatred
were local citizens who extended
their right hand of friendship and
welcomed us to Cumming. This is
a change!

As we rambled down the back-
roads headed for Atlanta, each of
us had a gratifying feeling be-
cause we could bear witness to
the change in Forsyth County.

Dr. Ajiws Speaks at Evening Club

by Dana Keller

Dr. Christopher Ames of Agnes
Scott's English department was
the guest "reviewer" at the annual
Book Review Session of the
Evening Club of ASC alumnae.
Despite the clubs name and
regular meeting times, the book
reviews are traditionally Saturday
morning events. This year the
group braved cold temperatures
and snow to hear Dr. Ames'
lecture, held on January 24 in
Winship lobby.

In addition to club members,
the event was attended by several
of Dr. Ames' current students and
a group of teachers and students
'om Dunwoody High School. The

visitors were greeted warmly by
enthusiastic alums, always on the
lookout for prospective students.
Speaking of warm greetings, it
should be noted that Alumnae
Director Lucia Sizemore capita-
lized, as she put it. on years of
Girl Scouting and coaxed a beau-
tiful fire to burn in the lobby's
fireplace.

Dr. Ames centered his remarks
around two novels which were
both published in the same year
(1925):Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and
Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
Using extensive quotations from
both books. Dr. Ames argued that
the party, while a prominent
scenario in both books, does not
perform the same function in
each. In Mrs. Dalloway. the

her party compel the title charac-
ter to deal with the tensions
between her expectations and
reality, with her attitudes towards
aging and death. In contrast,
Gatsby s parties affect him little, if
at all. He is frequently absent from
these occasions; they are unim-
portant to him except as a device
to attract the attention of the
woman he loves.

Dr. Ames' concluded the ses-
sion with questions and answers.
Many responded, particularly with
inquires about the somewhat
enigmatic Fitzgerald. Dr. Ames
based his talk on excerpts from
his doctoral dissertation. Entitled
The Life of Party: Festive Vision
in Modern Fiction, it was awarded
Stanford's Alden Prize for the best
dissertation in English.

Sea Island Singers Work
To Preserve Heritage

ASC Joins Morehouse in Concert

by Kimberly Baker

The Georgia Sea Island Sing-
ers performed at Agnes Scott on
Monday, January 19 to honor the
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.
Jr.'s birthday.

The Singers are Doug and
Frankie Quimby. The group works
to preserve the heritage and
culture of the Afro-Americans on
the islands off the coast of
Georgia. The Quimbys have
performed for 16 years. They have
performed at the White House,
the inauguration of President
Jimmy Carter, the Statue of
Liberty celebration, and on the
Prairie Home Companion public
radio program.

The Quimbys performed native
songs in the Gullah language.
They illustrated the use of songs
by the slaves to relieve their
sorrow. They also demonstrated
games and dances and asked
volunteers from the audience to
participate on stage.

The slaves often used their
songs and dances to outsmart
the slave owners. The owners did

not allow the slaves to participate
in religious services, so the slaves
did the "shout for joy," a dance
which praised God. The slaves
made complaints about their
owners by disguising the com-
plaints in song. In this way the
slaves were able to express
themselves without fear of the
owners. Songs were also used to
call slaves to the Underground
Railroad which helped them
escape to the North.

Much of the culture of the slaves
has worked its way into our culture
today. Doug Quimby demon-
strated the proper way of perform-
ing hambone, which is portrayed
improperly in a popular fast-food
restaurant's television commer-
cials. Some white men in Charles-
ton saw the slaves' "shout for joy"
and turned it into the popular
dance of the Roaring 20's, the
Charleston.

The Georgia Sea Island Sing-
ers gave an entertaining look at
black heritage, an appropriate
way to pay tribute to the civil rights
leader, Dr. Martin Luther King.
The evening was an enjoyable
event with which to begin the new
semester.

Dalton Displays Clay Works

The works in clay of four Atlanta
artists will be on display beginning
January 25 in the Dalton Galleries
of the Dana Fine Arts Building at
Agnes Scott College. The exhibit,
which is free and open to the
public, continues through Feb-
ruary 21. Gallery hours are Mon-
day through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9
p.m., and Saturday and Sunday,
1 to 5 p.m. An opening reception
was held on Sunday, January 25
from 2 to 5 p.m.

Steven Forbes-deSoule is a
ceramic artist and part-time
instructor at Agnes Scott whose
work will be a part of the invita-
tional exhibit. "I believe that it
should be fun to make pots, and
that playfulness is a key to
releasing creative potential." he
says. His work is on current
exhibit in galleries in New York,
Washington. Philadelphia and at
the Portfolio Gallery in Atlanta,

and photographic displays of his
work have appeared in Southern
Homes and Southern Accents
magazines. Forbes-deSoule has
a master of visual arts degree
from Georgia State University.

The works of Glenn Dair will
also be featured. For the past six
years, Dair has been director of
the pottery program at the Callan-
wolde Fine Arts Center. A gradu-
ate of Lynchburg College in
Virginia. Dair received a master of

The Princeton Nassons
"Sing for their Supper"

Billed as "Princeton University's
oldest and foremost singing
group," the Princeton Nassons
treated Agnes Scott noonday
diners on January 26 to four
contemporary selections from
their recently released album.

This thirteen-man choral en-
semble was completing the last
leg of their southeastern tour.
After "singing for their supper," the
group headed for Athens before
continuing on to Savannah and
Charleston and then finally return-
ing home.

Apparently the group was per-
forming in the Atlanta area when

Agnes Scott was brought to their
attention. Dean Hudson was
contacted and in turn contacted
Mrs. G. around 10:15 a.m. Mon-
day morning. By noon the Prince-
ton Nassons had the undivided
attention of the Agnes Scott
women. Said Mrs. G. of the group,
"They were thirteen young men of
varied backgrounds and degrees
who share a love for music."

A tape of the group is available.

ACTS AND 1EN1FECTAINM1ENY

CATS Returns to the Fabulous Fox

by Kimberly Baker

Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash
hit CATS returned to the Fabulous
Fox Theatre. The newest com-
pany to take CATS across the
nation opened their tour in Sep-
tember here in Atlanta. The
company returned for another
stay at the Fox February 3 through
February 8.

Once again the performance
was superb, surpassing expecta-
tions. The great thing about CATS
is that it is more enjoyable with
each viewing, the mark of a true
winner. The entire cast was full of
energy from the opening invitation
to the "Jellicle Ball" to the final
bow during which each character
showed off his own special talent.

The success of CATS comes
from its unique style. The entire
musical is one song-and-dance
number after another. There is
never a dull moment. The cast
included the audience in the "Ball"
by coming into the audience for
many of the numbers. The charac-
ters did not always leave a scene
in the traditional method of simply
walking off to the side. Instead.

they would run into the audience
and out the side exits. Flashing
lights were strung around the
theatre to keep the audience in
the excitement of the story.

CATS is set in an alley in
England. It centers on the gather-
ing of the local cats for the annual
"Jellicle Ball" during which one cat
will be chosen to visit the Heaven-
side Layer to receive new life.
Throughout the musical, the story
of some of the leaders and
unusual cats are told. Pleas are
made on behalf of some of the
older cats who have seen better
days that they be allowed to be
reborn.

All of the characters were
fantastic. They captured the
essence of cats and took on feline
characteristics. Each cat seemed
to have its own developed charac-
ter. Rum Turn Tigger played by
Andy Spangler was a hit with his
cool manner which had all the
female kitties in a tizzy. Old
Deuteronomy, the leader of the
cats, played by Larry Small,
captured the respect a great
leader deserves. Gus. the theatre
cat. who was played by Richard
Poole, relived his glory days with
the encouragement of Jellylorum.

Criminal justice is about to be
hit with a revolution. The perpe-
trator is recent law-school gradu-
ate Robin Weathers, who jumps
in and shoots "From the Hip."

Judiciary procedure gets sha-
ken down to its very foundation
when this brash 25-year-old takes
on a case. His unorthodox tactics
and anything-goes approach to
criminal defense make him into a
media figure to rank up there with
the stars. Convinced of the
innocence of a client, he'll stop at
nothing to obtain an acquittal. But
what if new evidence comes to
light, showing that a defendant is
indeed guilty of the most vicious
sort of cold-blooded murder 9 As
director Bob Clark puts it. this is
"'a comedy with a lot on its mind."

Judd Nelson stars as Robin
"Stormy" Weathers, perhaps the
most challenging role of his young
career. Nelson has received
critical acclaim for his perform-
ances in John Hughes' The Break-
fast Club and Joel Schumacher's
St. Elmo's Fire. Elizabeth Perkins
co-stars as Jo.Ann. Nelson's warm
and supportive fiancee, a role far
removed from her highly-praised
portrayal of the caustic Joan
Gunther in her recent film debut.
About Last Night. Also starring are
Oscar nominee John Hurt (Mid-
night Express), as Professor
Bennoit. Nelsons client on trial for
murder, and Darren McGavin.
Nancy Marchand, and Allan Arbus
as the partners who head up a
prestigious Boston law firm hit by
"Stormy'' Weathers. The support-
ing cast is filled with such familiar
actors as Ray Walston. Ed Winter
(M'A'S'H). David Alan Grier (A
Soldier's Story), and Dan Monahan
(Porky's).

played by Joanna Beck, and
entertained with his famous pro-
duction. "Growltiger's Last Stand."
Jellylorum, played by Joanna
Beck, was sensitive and suppor-
tive in giving Gus hope.
Skimbleshanks. the railway cat,
was played by Jonathan Cerullo
who entertained with his exciting,
upbeat story.

The ever popular Mr. Mistof-
felees, the magical cat, played by
Randy Slovacek, once again was
a hit. His exciting dance was
complete with a high energy score
that had the audience clapping
along. His piece was full of magic
tricks and culminated with the
return of Old Deuteronomy who
had been stolen by Macavity.

The exciting celebration of the
"Ball" had all the cats singing and
dancing and was overshadowed
only by Grizabella's story.
Gnzabella, played by Leslie Ellis,
was once the glamour cat. Her
sequined dress had become rags
and her coat was torn and dirty.
The other cats tried to make her
leave. Only Old Deuteronomy
supported her. He had discovered
her trying to recapture her old
energy after seeing the other cats
dancing at the ball. She won the

From the Hip ta^es aim at the
entire legal establishment, but
most importantly, it addresses a
particularly pressing question:
Should criminal lawyers defend
clients they believe are lying 9 It's
the dilemma faced not only by
Robin Weathers, but by more and
more criminal-defense attorneys
today. The climactic court case in
From the Hip is not based on any
specific real-life counterpart, and
yet a parallel case made na-
tional headlines during the film's
production.

Miami lawyer Ellis Rubin asked
to be excused from defending
Russell Sanborn, a plumber
accused of fatally stabbing an
18-year-old girl. Although Rubin
had begun his defense of Sanborn
the previous year, he had become
convinced that his client was
planning to lie under oath. Judge
Sidney Shapiro refused to allow
Rubin to resign the case. Rubin
persisted, stating: "To order any
attorney to sit and watch with
apparent approval while his client
commits forbidden acts to a jury
does nothing less than order the
lawyer to be a knowing instrument
of totally unethical and dishonest
conduct. Silence here is participa-
tion: it is cooperation with evil."
Judge Shapiro held Rubin in
criminal contempt and sentenced
him to 30 days.

Rubin served his time, and has
remained defiant. "When enough
lawyers begin withdrawing from
cases instead of promoting falsity,
perjury and fraud.'' he told TIME
magazine. "The sooner faith in
the criminal-justice system will
begin to be restored." In the
meantime. Sanborn has been
convicted and sentenced to life

hearts of the others with her
beautiful rendition of "Memory,"
which is the most famous song
from the score. She began slowly
as she strained to tell of her former
glamorous days. Feeling rejected,
she began to leave, but the
beautiful voice of Sillabub.
Christine Toy, called to her giving
her courage to continue.
Grizabella captured the hearts of
all as she suddenly sang with new
vigor and poiqnantlv and oower-
fully completed her song with
heart-wrenching passion.

The incredible set created a
junkyard in the Fox. The audience
was allowed to go onstage during
the intermission to get a closer
look. Coke cans. Alpha-Bits
boxes, 9-lives cans, and a
Greyhound sign were among the
trash items that were made to be
proportionate to the human-size
cats. The elaborate props made
the musical even more realistic.

One flaw in the performance
was the sound system. The
placing of microphones for this
type of show is a difficult task, but
it seems that after several months
of touring a better method could
have been devised. There were
times when it was next to impossi-

for his crime.

From the Hip takes place in
Boston, but with the exception of
two days of exterior filming, it was
made entirely in North Carolina.
The cast and crew began filming
on July 9. 1986, and spent the
summer filming in Charlotte and
Wilmington which lead to a close-
ness among the group. By the
time of the wrap party on Sep-
tember 5. a lot of emotion was in
the air. A spirit of camaraderie
that generated from the very begin-
ning had thrived all the way to the

ble to hear a character that was
off from the microphones. Also at
times there was a loud static that
covered the singers' voices. At
first it seemed to be a special
effect, but at other times it seemed
to clash with the action on stage.

Another problem that was dis-
turbing was the dancing of Randy
Slovack. His piece was very
energetic, but his solo was disap-
pointing. He could not quite
perform the jumps and turns
with ease. His portrayal of Mr.
Mistoffelees was great other than
these moves. Perhaps the
choreographer could rework his
piece to display his own particu-
lar skills. This change would
perfect an otherwise fabulous
performance.

Words cannot do justice to the
splendor of CATS. The entire cast
and crew deserve recognition and
congratulations. Andrew Lloyd
Webber once said, "Cats are
fascinating animals, but I don't
think you ever really get to know
a cat." Perhaps he is right, but
with the help of the Jellicle Cats
and their songs taken from T. S.
Elliot's Old Possum's Book of
Practical Cats one can learn
much about them. Maybe the only
way to get to know a cat is to be
a cat. If so. then CATS is the
closest we humans will ever get.

member when I've had so much
fun on a picture," said one crew

Museum Features Russian
Photography by Rodchenko

The powerful photographic
style of Russian artist Alexander
Rodchenko will be featured in the
exhibition "Alexander Rodchenko:
Russian Artist in Revolution" at
the High Museum of Art from
January 27 through May 24, 1987.

Rodchenko (1891-1956). a
leading Constructive artist in
Russia around the Revolution in
1917. used photography to gener-
ate a revolutionary new artistic
vision for the building of society.
His work, which is characterized

by exaggeratedly high or low
angles of view and a bold geomet-
ric style representative of the
Constructivist movement, emerged
during a turbulent period of
social and cultural upheaval.
Rodchenko's experiments with
photomontage and his innovative
use of perspective and design
proved influential for modern
photography.

The cornerstone of the presen-
tation is a portfolio of 24 photo-
graphs from the 1920s and 30s

Treasures from the National
Museum of American Art." 81
works from the world's largest and
oldest repository of American art,
opened at the High Museum of
Art on February 3 and remains on
view through March 29, 1987. The
exhibition, representing highlights
from the collection of the National
Museum of American Art (NMAA).
Smithsonian Institution, ranges
from early American portraits
through sweeping landscapes
and Impressionist paintings to
contemporary abstractions.

Encompassing more than 250
years of America's artistic history,
"Treasures" features 73 paintings,
seven sculptures, and one water-
color. The show premiered at the
Seattle Art Museum and will tour
for 13 months before returning to
NMAA for an eight-week presen-
tation in spring 1987. Organized
by NMAA, the exhibition and tour
is made possible by United
Technologies Corporation.

Artists such as Thomas Cole,
Charles Bird King, Albert
Bierstadt, James McNeill Whistler,
Winslow Homer, John Singer
Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Andrew
Wyeth, and Robert Rauschenberg
are among those represented in
the exhibition. Drawn from more
than 32,000 works held by NMAA,
"Treasures" unites paintings and
sculpture from all aspects of the
nation's rich and diverse tradition
of visual art. tracing the American
vision from its colonial roots to
20th-century explorations.

'American Prints" Exhibition Opens

More than 70 prints reflecting
the tone of the nation from the
1920s. 30s and 40s will be
exhibited in "American Prints
Between the Wars." on view at the
High Museum of Art from January
27 through May 24, 1987.

The period covered by the
exhibition was one of the greatest
eras in American graphics. During
the Depression, many artists were
sustained by the Works Progress
Administration Federal Art Proj-
ect, a program which commis-
sioned artists to create works of
art for purchase by the govern-
ment. Prmtmaking, especially
lithography, flourished under this
patronage program.

The . leftist leanings of many
Depression-era artists created a
natural affinity for social realist

and political subjects a tradition
in lithography since the days of
Grandville and Daumier. The
regionalist movement, led by
Thomas Hart Benton, John
Steuart Curry and Grant Wood,
conveyed a sense of place and
character of different American
locales. A third direction of this
period was taken by the geometri-
cal abstractionists, artists such as
Stuart Davis and Louis Lozowick.

Works in the exhibition include
"The Shriners' Quartet," by John
Steuart Curry, "John Brown," by
Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton's
"Huckleberry Finn," and "The
Mime Dancer," by Rockwell Kent.
Other highlights include Martin
Lewis' evocative night scenes;
Mabel Dwight's caustic satires of

capitalism; the precisionist litho-
graphs of Charles Sheeler; Stow
Wengenroth and Luigi Luciom's
detailed New England scenes;
New York genre scenes by Isabel
Bishop and Kenneth Hayes Miller;
John Sloan's etchings of nudes;
and surrealist prints by Stanley
William Hayter.

The High Museum of Art is
located at Peachtree and 16th
Streets in the Robert W. Woodruff
Arts Center. Hours: Tuesday
through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., and open until 9:00

Corporation. Atlantans will have
the rare opportunity to look at
some of the finest examples of
our country's creative heritage
from the mid-18th century to the
present."

Arranged chronologically, the
nation's colonial beginnings are
revealed in early portraits by
Charles Willson Peale, Robert
Feke, and Thomas Sully, among
others. The 19th-century Ameri-
can landscape paintings cele-
brate the "Promised Land" of
North America. Thomas Cole's
The Subsiding of the Waters of
the Deluge, 1829, possesses a
religious vision while Albert
Bierstadt's Among the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, 1868, con-
veys the majesty of the western
terrain. Thomas Moran's Cliffs of
the Upper Colorado River, 1882.
underscores what would become
the artist's favorite, lifelong sub-
ject: the astonishing geological
splendor of the American West.

Faces of native Americans are
recorded in George Catlin's
Buffalo Bill's Back Fat, Head
Chief, Blood Tribe, 1832. and
Charles King's Young Omahaw,
War Eagle, Little Missouri and
Pawnees, 1821. John Mix Stanley's
Osage Scalp Dance, 1845, fea-
tures a tearful, but resolute,
mother protecting her child from
attacking Indian warriors. The
painting, prized for its rarity, is one
of five works salvaged from a fire
that destroyed approximately 150
paintings of the artist's Indian and
Western gallery.

Like their 19th-century Euro-
pean counterparts, American
Impressionists began to paint

firsthand the diverse American
scene with a new intimacy.
Winslow Homer's High Cliff,
Coast of Maine, 1894, Maurice
Prendergast's Summer, New Eng-
land, 1912. and Childe Hassam's
The South Ledges, Appledore,
1913. are visions of an America
vastly different from the monu-
mental landscapes of Bierstadt
and Moran. Other Impressionist
works include Mary Cassatt's The
Caress, 1902. Rockwell Kent's
Snow Fields, 1909, and Julian
Weir's Upland Pasture, ca. 1905.

The exploration of individual
experience continued as artists of
the mid-20th century witnessed
an industrial revolution and World
Wars I and II. Their paintings
document the impact of rapid
changes and major world events
on the lives of ordinary Ameri-
cans. Works such as George
Morris' Industrial Landscape, and
George Tooker's The Waiting

Ditch the Winter Doldrums

by Chuck Roucinvale

To help Agnes Scott students
shake off the sluggishness that
accompanies those dreary mid-
winter days, the Physical Educa-
tion department is offering a
variety of stimulating, fun ac-
tivities. Coach McKemie is or-
ganizing amateur volleyball with
play scheduled every Monday at
7.00 p.m. One need not have
participated in competitive vol-
leyball to enjoy this activity. It is
open to unskilled enthusiasts,
faculty, and anyone else who
wants to play. If there is enough
interest. Coach McKemie could
organize class competition or
faculty-student competition. Later
on, students could play outside
and enjoy the warm spring weath-

"lt will be a state-of-the-art
athletic facility for women.'' Agnes
Scott College President Ruth
Schmidt declares when she refers
to the physical activities center
currently under construction.

Scheduled for completion by
Fall I987. the new center will
include a regulation gymnasium,
an olympic-sized swrmming pool,
classroom and faculty offices, a
training room, and other athletic
facilities. It is part of an S18.5
million campus renovation project
designed to enrich the Colleges
facilities in time for its I989 centen-
nial.

Although it is not a sport, dance,
in each of its many forms, is a
highly demanding physical activity.
Dancers must possess flexibility,
stamina, and talent. At Agnes
Scott the Studio Dance Theatre is
a favorite extracurricular activity
because it gives anywhere from
sixteen to twenty students the
chance to hone their techniques
while working with prestigious
choreographers in the Atlanta
area, such as Tom Pazik of the
Atlanta Ballet. They perform not
only at Agnes Scott, but also at
such important events as the
opening of the China exhibit at the
High Museum, the opening of the
new High Museum, and the Metro

er. She is "open for suggestions'*
and willing to shape the activity to
fit the students' needs and desires.

Also, there will soon be a
badminton league for students. It
will be organized similarly, with
play open to everyone regardless
of skill. Coach McKemie hopes
that these opportunities will create
interest in starting up teams that
would compete against schools
like Emory and Georgia Tech.
Anyone who is interested in either
of these activities should contact
Coach McKemie. who is usually
easy to find in the gym.

In addition to these team
oriented sports, the gym offers a
multitude of equipment and
facilities to suit the needs of
individual students. Students are
free to enjoy the luxury of an
indoor heated swimming pool. Six
to eight students can get together

Additional athletic facilities are
planned by renovating the present
Bucher Scott Gymnasium, which
was built in 1925. to include
racquet ball courts, a dance
studio, television and stereo
rooms, lounges, snack bar. dining
terrace, student organization
offices, faculty club, and a student
activities office. Also scheduled
for completion in the Fall of 1987,
these facilities will be named
the Wallace McPherson Alston
Campus Center after the third
president of the College.

The "Centennial Campus" at
Agnes Scott already features the

Atlanta Dance Festival.

Under the supervision of faculty
advisor Marilyn Darling, students
practice many hours per week in
preparation for performances. All
this work imparts a lifetime of
improved health. According to
Darling the activity improves the
cardiovascular system,
strengthens skeletal muscles,
improves posture, and builds
denser bones that prevent osteo-
porosis. Because dance is essen-
tially an exhilarating activity that
a person can do in any kind of
weather at any time of day, alone
or in a group, dancers tend to
maintain their interest in dance
long after their college days are
over.

Although many students at
ASC are committed to dance,
there is no dance major. Surpns-

and perform exotic stunts or just
bounce around on the trampoline.
Also at the students disposal are
soccer balls, basketballs, and
other such equipment for those
who want to take a break from
studying to enjoy a little physical
exertion. For the more serious
exerciser, the ground floor of the
gym contains a weight training
station. Roller skates are even
available for students who want
to re-live the pre-teen fun of the
skating rink.

Of course, the most popular
physical activity among ASC
students is probably tennis. Stu-
dents are allowed unlimited use
of the tennis courts located on the
south end of the campus. With all
these activities available, there is
no excuse for one's most physical
afternoon activity to be walking to
the dining hall.

complete renovation of the Col-
lege's two oldest buildings. Agnes
Scott Hall and Rebekah Scott
Hall, which contain administrative
offices and residence rooms. A
new athletic field and track are in
place and a terrace dining facility,
the campus store and post office
have received a "face-lift ."

In addition, site and landscap-
ing improvements have been
made and will continue as each
area of the campus is completed.
Remaining projects include the
refurbishing of the dining hall and
the renovation of Presser Hall.

ingly, Darling believes that the
lack of a dance major at Agnes
Scott leads to increased dedica-
tion because the students are
involved only because of interest.

Marilyn Darling, with her experi-
ence as a professional dancer
and her devotion to teaching, is
the ideal instructor of dance. After
earning a B.A. in Dance and
Fashion Merchandising and an
M.A. in Music with a concentration
in dance, she worked in New York
City with famous choreographers
such as Alvin Alley, Bob Fosse,
and Martha Graham. Since coming
to Agnes Scott in 1971. she has
been instrumental in changing the
Physical Education department's
dance curriculum. When she first
arrived, only Modern Dance was
offered. Now. however, students
can choose from courses in jazz.

Students enjo> "volleyball For Fun."

by Debbie L. Strickland

Although tennis has long been
one of the most popular sports at
Agnes Scott, the tennis team is
now facing a crisis. Since the end
of the fall season half the team has
left. The remaining eight players.
Jill Owens. Katie MacMillan.
Laura Weaver, Mitrina Mogelnicki.
Vee Kimbrell. Ellen Jones. Laura
Perry, and Karen Riggs are facing
a 25 meet season with a bare
minimum of players.

Looking ahead to the season,
which begins February 23. Coach
Cynthia Peterson cites as
strengths, the players' "willing-
ness to work hard" and their
"admirable commitment" to the
sport. These players practice at
least six hours per week as a
team and once the season is
underway will play three or four
matches per week. The team's
goal is to achieve a .500 record,
and Coach Peterson's goal is to
have at least six players (the
minimum) for every match.

Peterson is greatly distressed
by the dismal turnout and has
formulated several theories to
explain the situation. She says
that "academic pressure" and the
absence of faculty encourage-
ment of sports forces many to
drop out. No allowances are made
for the unique demands placed
upon intercollegiate athletes. For
example, most labs are held
between one o'clock and five
o'clock without exception. Accord-
ing to Peterson, an "inflexible
class schedule" compels many to
choose between academics and
athletics.

ballet, folk dance, modern dance,
or social dance.

Her extensive contacts in the
dance field have enabled Darling
to attract a major choreographer
to Agnes Scott every year In
addition. Darling has remained
active in local events, and has

, most athletes have
to work part-time on campus for
ten to twelve hours every week.
Many players are unable to
balance classes, jobs, and athlet-
ics, and find that they must give
up one of the activities. To solve
this problem Peterson is "very
much in favor of a partial athletic
scholarship" to both attract quality
student-athletes to Agnes Scott
and to enable those athletes
already here to devote the time
that an intercollegiate sport de-
mands. The scholarship would
free those students from work
obligations and allow them to
spend the twelve to fifteen hours
per week that are Required of a
sport.

Currently, the tennis team is the
only intercollegiate team at Agnes
Scott. The administration has
expressed some interest in de-
veloping other intercollegiate
teams, but according to Peterson,
that goal will be almost impossible
to achieve without creating new
incentives. She states, "The attri-
tion rate for tennis is so high that
it seems unlikely that any new
teams would be able to survive."
In fact many other coaches have
faced similar problems as players
desert teams to spend more time
working or studying. For example,
there is no basketball team this
winter because out of over five
hundred students Peterson was
unable to find the ten necessary
to form an amateur team.

If Peterson is right, the crisis in
ASC athletics will not improve until
some changes are made to
encourage student participation
in this essential area of college
life.

even danced with the Atlanta
Ballet during her fifteen years at
Agnes Scott. She and many of the
talented dancers who have
danced with SDT have made
dance an integral part of the
extracurricular realm of Agnes
Scott.

THE PROFILE

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1987

Rogers Leads Community Focus on Sexuality

by Ginny Rosenberg

February 15 through 18 the
Agnes Scott campus was graced
with the presence of Dr. Isabel W.
Rogers. Professor of Applied
Christianity at the Presbyterian
School of Christian Education in
Richmond. Virginia. Dr Rogers
was the speaker for this years
Community Focus Lecture
Series, the subject of which was
"Sexuality and Ethics."

Dr. Rogers began the lecture
series on Monday morning during
the community hour, and that
evening she led the Christian
Association Kyrios discussion. Dr.
Rogers led the Faculty/Staff
Tabletalk at noon on Tuesday, and
she spoke about "Crisis in Sexual-
Ethical Issues" on Tuesday eve-
ning. Wednesday, for the Foun-
ders Day Convocation. Dr. Rogers"
topic was "Making Decisions."

Throughout her lectures. Dr.
Rogers emphasized the impor-
tance of the ability to make moral
desicions after one reflects on the
ethical issues involved in the
situation. This ability is especially
crucial in modern times, when so
many ethical problems have no
precedent upon which to base
one's actions. Dr. Rogers em-
phasized the need for social
discussion about ethical deci-

sions and suggested that the
church and the campus are two
institutions which are particularly
well-suited to ethical learning and
questioning. While disagreement
is inevitable, these institutions can
provide a healthy diversity of
opinion, which is imperitive for
informed decision making.

Dr. Rogers also emphasized
that while social discussion is
important. one*s ethical decisions
are ultimately very personal. Each
person is responsible for his or
her own moral choices. While
there are a variety of equally valid
ways to go about decision-
making. Dr. Rogers stressed that
no one is perfect. She em-
phasized the importance of com-
passion as a necessary element
of ethical reflection

The humbling realization that it
is impossible to know all of the
factors involved in a moral di-
lemma. Dr. Rogers feels, should
lead one to try to avoid arrogance
or dogmatism when one is making
decisions. Dr. Rogers suggests
that while we are certain to make
mistakes, all of our actions are
woven together by God into some
divine pattern. Thus, a paralyzing
fear of mistakes is not compatable
with faith in God.

Dr Rogers stressed the impor-
tance of decision-making ability in
sexual matters. The sexual revolu-
tion of the 1960s and 70s resulted

in both a new sexual freedom and
a variety of new problems. In spite
of these problems. Dr. Rogers felt
this freedom was preferable to the
rigid sexual codes of the 1950s
and the hypocrisy and feelings of
guilt which were often the result
of these codes

Dr. Rogers spoke frequently of
the moral dilemas surrounding the
AIDS crisis. Dr. Rogers feels that
while the presence of AIDS has
caused many people to be more
cautious, it is not likely that our
society will go back to the ultra-
conservative sexual morality of
the 1950s. Dr. Rogers spoke of
the conflicts many people are
facing concerning whether the
use of birth control or abstinance
should be encouraged to halt the
spread of AIDS. Dr. Rogers
stressed that while the issues
surrounding sexuality and sexual
ethics are important to everyone,
they are secondary in impor-
tance to responsible love and
compassion.

Dr. Rogers' lectures were well-
attended by the students, faculty
and staff of Agnes Scott. When
asked how she felt about the
content of Dr. Rogers' lectures.
Sophomore Marjo Dobbs re-
sponded, "I liked the way she
didn't try to tell us what the right
decision was. but talked instead
'about the way to make the right
decision."

Dr. Isabel Rogers was utiest speaker at the Founders Da\ Convocation.

Professors Address Iran Crisis

by Maureen McNulty

On February 12, under the
sponsorship of the Mortar Board
"Don't Quote Me" series, Dr. Cathy
Scott and Dr. Sally Davenport of
the Political Science department
led an informal discussion of the
current controversy regarding
U.S. secret arms sales to Iran.
Conducted over lunch in the
faculty dining hall, the session
was sufficiently unstructured to
allow for late entrances and early
departures, a format designed to
accommodate schedules of stu-

dents, faculty and staff members
alike.

The session opened with brief
statements by both representa-
tives of the Political Science
department, after which a ques-
tion and answer period and
general discussion ensued. Dr.
Davenport gave a brief summary
of the details of the covert ship-
ments, which began in January of
1986. and acknowledged that the
National Security Council's deci-
sion to take operatives in this
situation is a first for the organiza-
tion. She questioned the role of
the NSC. which, although de-
signed as an overseeing body, is

in thiscase guilty of independently
undertaking "CIA-like activities."
Noting that President Reagan
communicated to the CIA his
unwillingness to inform Congress
of the shipments. Davenport
concluded that "...the whole affair
is on the edge of illegalities."

Davenport also pointed out that
the amount of flexibility allowed
the president in foreign policy is
not defined; the Reagan adminis-
tration maintains that the presi-
dent does not have sufficient
leeway in international affairs.

The arms scandal has left us
with a "wounded president."

On February 4. Dr. Omawall
Marshall, professor of Black
Psychology at Morehouse Col-
lege, spoke at the convocation
sponsored by the Agnes Scott
Students for Black Awareness.

Dr. Marshall addressed many
crucial issues which face America
today relating to the lives of black
Americans. Dr. Marshall began by
quoting a series of statistics
concerning the condition of black
Americans. He reported that black
men between the ages of 15 and
34 have a 1 in 21 chance of being
killed in a homicide, a rate which
is 7 times greater than for white
men of the same age. He also
stated that, in some black areas
of Detroit, the infant death rate is
40 per 1000, which is higher than

many countries less developed
than the United States, such as
Jamaica.

Dr. Marshall discussed the
importance of understanding and
celebrating the history of black
achievement. He emphasized the
fact that evidence of the earliest
humans, the Homo-Sapiens.
comes from Africa. Dr. Marshall
also spoke of the many cultural
achievements of black Egypt. Dr.
Marshall stressed the importance
of understanding and appreciat-
ing the history of black people,
both in the United States and in
Africa. He emphasized that learn-
ing about black history is impor-
tant for people of all colors.

Dr. Marshall concluded the
convocation, which was well
attended by students and faculty,
with the words. "Know thyself
African woman."

On Thursday. February 19. a special mandatory student body
meeting was held in Presser Hall. Dean Hudson stood before a
crowded auditorium to announce a tragic incident which had taken
place on the Agnes Scott campus. A non-residential student was
sexually assaulted in an obscure pathway on the Candler Road
side of campus on Tuesday night The administration announced
that they wanted tc share this information with the students because
of their care and concern. After the students were allowed to ask
questions and share their opinions, Dean Hudson went to share
the news with the prospective students who were on campus at
that time.

The biggest question in my mind is why the administration made
the decision to share this incident with the students in such a
manner. If one looks at the informing processes of past events, one
will notice that information is usually spread by rumor or some other
informal means. Was the actual reasoning behind the administra-
tion's decision care and concern, or was this action on their part a
public relations move 9 I do believe that the administration cares for
the students, especially certain members of the administration, but
I do not think that this move was made entirely for that reason. One
can only question how the incident would have been handled had
the prospective students not been on our campus.

Agnes Scott is a small place, and word travels fast around here.
The administration was faced with an ordeal that could have affected
the enrollment at ASC for the following year. I believe that they took
this opportunity to, first of all, reduce the effects of the news and,
secondly, to impress the prospective students. The administration
knew that this information would not be swept under the rug, and
they had to reach the prospective students in an effective manner
before the present students did, in what might have been a harmful
manner.

If the administration's main purpose had been to inform the
students out of care and concern for our safety, then why did they
wait until two nights after the event had taken place to share it with
us 9 If concern for our safety had been their top priority, then we
should have been informed on Wednesday night. As many students
have voiced, it is not a privilege to find out about such events but
a necessity. If the prospective students had not been on our campus,
how would this situation have been handled 9 Unfortunately, this
question will remain unanswered.

HEALTH NOTES

by Mary Lu Christiansen, CFNP

Bad news the flu is here. Many of the students and staff have
already "met" the dread bug. More bad news many more of you
will contract the flu before the "season" is over.

The most common symptoms of the flu are: fever and chills,
lasting 6-24 hours; headache and burning eyes; generalized aching
of muscles and joints; an overall sick feeling with increased fatigue;
possible nausea and vomiting. These symptoms may last two to
four days and may be followed by common cold symptoms of cough,
nasal and sinus congestion, and sore throat; these symptoms may
last an additional week to ten days.

Unfortunately, the flu, like a cold, is caused by a virus, and there
is no quick, magic cure for a virus. Treatment of the flu consists
mainly of common sense "homestyle" care. Bedrest is needed to
allow your body the energy it needs to fight the virus. Increased
fluid intake is necessary to replace the fluids lost through fever and
vomiting, and to "flush" the virus from your system. Aspirin or Tylenol
is recommended to relieve the headache and muscle pain. (The
CDC still advises those 18 and under to take Tylenol rather than
aspirin.) Symptomatic treatment for a cold consists of deconges-
tants to relieve nasal congestion, warm saline gargles for sore throat
pain, and more rest and increased fluids.

The main goal of treatment is to prevent complications from
occuring. Pneumonia. Bronchitis, and secondary lung and sinus
infections are the most common complications, but they can be
prevented by following the suggested treatment plan.

There's not a sure-fire method to avoid the flu. but there are things
you can do. Obviously, you should avoid close contact with someone
already infected with the virus. You should also get in the habit of
washing your hands frequently. This can help because everytime
you touch a doorknob, a book, or a table that has been handled
by someone with the "bug", and then rub your eyes, bite your nails,
or scratch your nose, you transfer the virus to yourself. If you're in
good shape to begin with, you may be able to ward off the flu better
than others. Thus, good sleep habits and proper nutrition can help
before you're "hit '

About the only good news with the flu is that Georgia usually has
an early spring which may cut the flu season short. Hang in there
and be smart about taking care of yourself

Student Seeks More Effective
Methods of Communication

To the Agnes Scott Community;

Informing the Agnes Scott
campus of potential dangers
should not be a special Thursday
night privilege but an active on-
going process of the honor code.
It is a moral duty to warn others
of forseeable harm. If the commu-
nity is kept informed of "smaller"
incidents, perhaps after the fact
announcements of serious ones
would not be necessary. When I
was approached by a vulgar

exhibitionist in the lower level of
Buttrick (at noon on a Wednesday
by the way) only those students
with whom I regularly converse
knew of the incident. In my
conversations, however. I was told
that similar incidents have oc-
curred in the stacks of the library.
Why are we never informed 9 If
students were given descriptions
so that they can be on the lookout,
these perverts might be ap-
prehended. Students assume that
our ivory tower is safe, and it is

not. If public safety does not
notice the theft of a huge wide
screen television, will they notice
a quick abduction or attack of a
student 9 If the whole community
works together sharing its knowl-
edge of all criminal acts or
potential dangers, we will create
a safer environment for everyone.

Sincerely,
Charay Norwood

Untangling South Africa

by Peter Schwartz

The government of South Africa
deserves unqualified condemna-
tion for its policy of apartheid,
under which non-whites are sub-
ject to a broad range of special
legal restrictions. They are se-
verely limited, by racist laws, in
their choice of where to live, where
to work, what education to pursue,
where to travel, where to own
property. Apartheid represents a
gross, pervasive denial of indi-
vidual rights.

However, the denial of rights to
its citizens is not why South Africa
is now under universal attack.

Congress is considering eco-
nomic sanctions against Pretoria;
local and state governments,
along with a number of univer-
sities, are divesting their portfolios
of all companies with ties to South
Africa; "socially responsible"
money-market and mutual funds
are arising which invest only in
firms that shun South Africa;
celebrities demonstrate in front of
the South African embassy; inter-
national sports associations pro-
hibit South African teams and
individual athletes from compet-
ing. Yet no similar protests take
place against the government of
the Soviet Union.

Certainly, the freedom of blacks
in South Africa is drastically
curtailed; but in the Soviet Union
the freedom of everyone is non-
existent. In the Soviet Union, no
one may travel or work or pursue
an education or grow food or rent
an apartment except by govern-
ment permission. Soviet citizens
are not merely restricted to
designated areas, in which they
may publish their own newspa-
pers and run their own businesses
with little government interfer-
ence. Moscow exempts nothing
from state control. It allows no
private publications, no private
employment, no private housing,
no private property no private
individual. It owns everything and
everyone.

In South Africa, by contrast,
there are opposition parties.

which openly denounce apart-
heid. There are privately run
newspapers and book publishers
which disseminate anti-govern-
ment viewpoints. There is an
independent judiciary, which often
rules against the government's
position. There are independent
trade unions and independent
churches, which regularly de-
nounce government policies.
There is the freedom to emigrate,
with no Berlin Wall and machine
guns to threaten anyone trying to
leave. None of these freedoms
exists in totalitarian nations.

The frequent demonstrations
by blacks in South Africa are
themselves evidence, not of
brutaJ subjugation, but of a degree
of liberty far exceeding that of
totalitarian nations. The reason
such protests do not occur in
Soviet Russia is not because the
people there are so much happier
and less oppressed, but because
they are more oppressed. It is
because the Soviet citizen knows
that open confrontation with the
government is not merely futile,
but a certain ticket to the gulag or
the psychiatric ward. It is only in
a country which exhibits some
measure of respect for human life
that people risk defying the state,
and permit their children to throw
taunts and rocks at the police,
while it is only in an absolute state
like the Soviet Union, one run by
ideologically committed killers,
that no one dares to speak out.

In Russia, there are no report-
ers from Tass interviewing
Sakharov, there are no TV news
programs showing his wife con-
demning the government, there
are no full-page ads taken out in
Pravda demanding a reversal of
Moscow's policies. It is virtually
impossible for a Western jour-
nalist to find a Soviet citizen willing
to criticize any important state
action or belief. There are cer-
tainly no organizations that op-
pose the government. But in
South Africa, even with the special
restrictions on news coverage
recently imposed, there is a
freedom of the press and of
speech far greater than that not
only of Soviet Russia, but even of

the entire African continent.
Statements calling for an end to
apartheid regularly appear in the
press. The symbolic head of the
outlawed African National Con-
gress, Nelson Mandela (who is in
jail, not for his opinions, but for
his acts of violence) was allowed
to be interviewed by American
journalists (and has been offered
release by Pretoria in return
simply for his pledge of non-
violence). His wife, who has taken
up his cause, is able to gain
access to reporters. A delegation
of businessmen defied a govern-
ment order and traveled to Zam-
bia to confer with Oliver Tambo.
president of the ANC and were
not shot upon their departure or
return. None of this occurs or
can occur in a totalitarian state.
Blacks themselves are much freer
in South Africa than they are in
black-ruled Africa. In fact, hun-
dreds of thousands voluntarily
come from neighboring countries
to live and work in South Africa;
how many people willingly move
to Russia?

So why is it only South Africa
that is so harshly denounced as
an unjust, evil state one toward
which a policy of ostracism rather
than of "bridge-building" is called
for? While this may seem to be
hypocrisy on the part of liberals,
it is actually not. This is a fully
consistent application of an
egalitarian philosophy For it is not
rights that liberals are demanding
for blacks, but equality.

Liberals deplore racism not
because it is a collectivist doctrine
that abrogates the rights of the
individual. To the contrary, they
embrace collectivism. What they
oppose is the "inequality" of
blacks' being treated worse than
whites. They do not even object
to racism per se, but only to the
fact that one group of "haves" has
more than does another group of
"have-nots." (And if racism is
required to achieve "equality" by
giving preferential treatment to
blacks via "affirmative action"
quotas, liberals endorse it.) Thus,
if everyone is under state con-
trolif everyone is equally op-
pressed and impoverished if

individualism has been abolished
and everyone lives and works
only for the sake of everyone
else if collectivism reigns then
the liberal is satisfied. Only
absolute slavery is truly "non-
discriminatory." Countries like
Russia, therefore, elicit admira-
tion for their egalitarianism. It is
only the existence of freedom that
is "discriminatory." since it permits
individualism to flourish and
allows the able and the diligent to
advance farther than the un-
talented and the indolent.

Thus, the liberals support the
African National Congress
which they hail as the primary
anti-Pretoria force in South Af-
ricaeven though its leadership
includes admitted members of
the Communist Party; they
praise Nobel Peace Prize winner
Desmond Tutu, who has said that
South African blacks would wel-
come a Soviet occupation; they
lionize the ANC's Nelson Mandela,
who declares that under com-
munism "everybody would be
living better, " since communism
"gives equal opportunity to every-
body."

The ANC does not want to free
blacks from state oppression; it
simply wishes to replace one form
of subjugation with an even
crueler one. Its arms are supplied
by Russia, its radio broadcasts
are transmitted from Ethiopia and
its official newspaper, Sechaba,
is printed in East Germany. The
ANC does not try to hide its
socialist aims. It's guiding "Free-
dom Charter," drawn up in 1955.
announces; "The people shall
share in the country's wealth....
The mineral wealth beneath the
soil, the banks and monopoly
industry shall be transferred to
the ownership of people as a
whole; all other industry and trade
shall be controlled to assist the
well-being of the people."

The real South African tragedy
is that there is no significant
opposition to apartheid on indi-
vidualist grounds. The country
has a long tnbalist tradition, with
one ethnic group alone, the Zulu,
divided into some 200 tribes.
South Africa's tribes live a primi-
tive, collectivist life. But the core
of the active black resistance to
Pretoria mainly among the more
urbanized population is now

thoroughly Marxist a fact espe-
cially evident among the country's
youth. Teenagers across the black
townships "call each other com-
rade.'" says a N.Y. Times article,
and "do not tolerate those who
reject the label." A fourteen-year-
old living in the black township of
Craddock told a reporter; "South
Africa is a capitalist country, and
that has oppressed us. So now all
of us in Craddock are com-
munists." Every school has a
"Student Representative Commit-
tee" explained a seventeen-
year-old who called himself only
"Comrade Memory" through
which "we are told what to do."
Those orders include, he said:
"Everything that belongs to a
white man. we will burn."

But the targets are not limited
to whites. Blacks who ignored a
"boycott" by shopping at white
stores have been killed by having
bleach and cooking oil forced
down their throats. During last
month's Christmas season, there
were no festivities in several black
townships because the people
there had heard, according to the
Times, that "anything considered
to be a Christmas celebration
might incur the wrath of the
'comrades,'" who had proclaimed
a "black Christmas." Many
families did not even cook for the
holidays, and others wondered
"whether they should attend
church or not, for fear of retribu-
tion by those who call themselves
'comrades' the militant teen-
agers." The ANC has lately re-
sorted to random terrorism, plant-
ing bombs by roadsides to create
chaos. Any blacks who are
deemed by roving mobs to be
"informers" or "stooges" of the
government are peremptorily
condemned and burned alive or
hacked to death.

These are all actions consistent
with the socialist view that an
individual life is of no value and is
readily dispensable whenever it
stands in the way of collectivist
ends. If there were a genuinely
pro-freedom movement among
black South Africans fighting to
overthrow the current govern-
ment, it would deserve America's
full moral support (though any f
appropriate action would have to
come from private quarters; the

Candidates for 1987-88 Honor Court Presidency:

by Krista Lankford

"There Once Was Krista Lankford
of Honor Court'*

There once was Krista of Honor
Court

Who among many things was a
very good sport:

After living near Tracy and

Claire.

She couldn't help but be honor-
able and fair.

And now all she needs is your

support.

As Secretary, she typed with great
speed

To make sure Honor Court would

always succeed;

Forever going that extra mile
Writing minutes with a smile

Helping out whenever there was

a need.

Pretty soon it will be speeches'
day

And then she'll have lots more to

say;

But for now just recall
As President, she'll give her all
Because there is no other way!

by Stevie Barkholz

Honor Court chose "There is no
other way" as our motto this year
because, at Agnes Scott, there is
no other way for us to live. The
strength of the Agnes Scott
community is now and has always
been based on the responsibility
each student assumes when she
adopts the Honor Pledge. It is my
goal to insure that the high
standards set forth by the Honor
Pledge continue to allow us to
thrive, not only next year, but for
our second century as well.

Thank you for your considera-
tion.

I would love the opportunity to
serve you as the next Honor Court
President. Having been a
member of Honor Court. I have
watched the court change for the
better and would like us to
continue in this direction. I have
spoken to many of you. and you
have expressed your concerns,
some of which I'd like to share:

"Perhaps professors should be
better oriented to the purpose of
Honor Court and their respon-
sibilities as professors. There
seems to be some confusion as
to who is responsible for what.

"Are take-home tests being
abused 9 We don't wish to chip
away at the foundation of our
Honor System, but perhaps there
is a lot of pressure with take-
homes.

"We want the Honor Code to be
respected, but are we being
contradictory when academics
are so important, and yet social
infractions are forever present.
Should there be two codes, for the
purpose of maintaining respect 9

RTC Students Gain Classification

more Peggy Harper. Tonya
Harritos. Gina Brown, Ross
Beliard, and Mitzi Dillard will
represent Agnes Scott in Global
Awareness trips to Taiwan. Peru.
Greece, and Spain in the upcom-
ing year. In addition, many of the
women have been actively in-
volved in campus activities.
Beliard. Brown. Crandall. and
Dillard have taken charge of the
upcoming RTC book sale that will

be held on campus in mid-March.
Beliard, Brown. Harper, and
Crandall were among Agnes Scott
students who marched for civil
rights in Forsyth County several
weeks ago. Many of this group
are also frequent visitors to the
terrace and upper dining halls
during class breaks and lunch
hours where they can be found
eating, studying, and carrying on
conversations with traditional-
age students as well as with their
fellow RTC's.

Congratulations to each of
these women on becoming class-
ified. It is an achievement that
reflects hard work and a commit-
ment to the college.

Computers Find Billions in Scholarships

Parents of college bound chil-
dren have continued to be af-
fected by the rising cost of
education as well as the declining
availability of funds. Money for
Education, a service designed to
help students find scholarships,
grants, and other forms of educa-
tional funding is now available to
help correct this situation.
Through the modern technology
of computer programming, it is
now possible to find sources of
the more than three billion dollars
in scholarships, grants and fund-
ing that are available each year.

Many individuals have heard

the rumor that "Many scholarships
go begging." Research indicates
that this is not just a rumor, but a
fact. Over $135,000,000.00 worth
of financial aid sources go unused
each year. Practically all students,
regardless of scholarship achieve-
ment or financial need, can and
do qualify for many forms and
amounts of financial aid. The
problem is they often don't know it.

Money for Education has taken
all factors eligibility requirements,
source names and addresses,
etc. and has stored this data
electronically on magnetic tape.

The student's data is then
matched with the stored informa-
tion. In this way Money for
Education is able to determine
which financial aid sources the
student may be able to win. Once
these matches are made, the
student is supplied with the
names and adresses of whom to
contact, the amount of financial
aid awarded, and on what
grounds the student is nominally
eligible.

*Honor Court should set up
guidelines for deciding cases in
order to be more objective. We
want to keep cases personal and
somewhat subjective, but
perhaps there could be some sort
of objective guidelines, so bias is
not so great.

'There needs to be a little more
conformity in what people, espe-
cially freshmen, are told about the
Honor System. Since things are
vague and students are oriented

by different Honor Court reps,
often there is confusion.

I believe issues such as these
are not very radical, but are
feasible plans that could improve
Honor Courts effectiveness and
image. As President. I hope to
improve upon these ideas by
gaining more insights from you
whom I represent.

My main goal is to see a
nationwide Symposium on Honor
here at Agnes Scott. Briefly. Honor
Court has already begun plans to
sponsor such a Symposium in-
volving colleges of all types which
have one thing in common an
Honor System. I would like to see
this Symposium implemented in
the spring of 1988, as it will allow
different colleges to discuss how
the systems work in their schools.
What creativity could result from
this!

I would appreciate the opportu-
nity to represent the students at
Agnes Scott as President of
Honor Court. Thank you for
considering me.

were extended to graduates in
accounting, business, and the
humanities than to graduates in
the engineering, scientific, and
other technical disciplines. Offers
to non-technical graduates ex-
ceeded those extended to techni-
cal graduates by 6o, and offers
in the fields of merchandising and
services actually increased by
3o.

Iran-Arms Crisis
Discussion Continued

Davenport said. She maintained
that, due to Reagan's loss of
credibility, a crisis in the near
future would be very difficult for
the administration to handle.
Noting that the Democrats are
delighted with the situation, she
ventured that the issue of foreign
policy will be a crucial one in the
upcoming presidential election
campaign.

Dr. Scott took a more hard-line
approach to the administration's
actions. "A lot of laws were
broken." she stated. According to
Scott, the arms sales have suc-
ceeded in alienating the U.S.
moderate allies in the middle
East. She also felt the arms sales
has led to a questioning of
Reagan's original foreign policy
South Africa and in Central
America, and she referred specifi-
cally to the illegal funding of the
Contras. "'Power doesn't always
work" to protect U.S. interests,
she concluded. Scott added that
the result of Reagan's strong arm
tactics has been basic question-

ing all over the world of Reagan's
often unclear foreign policy. She
criticized the Reagan administra-
tion's "neo-realist. neo-conservatist
indifference to public opinion" and
maintained that the lack of public
involvement made it possible for
the scandal to occur.

During the general discussion
which followed Dr. Scott's state-
ment. Dr. Davenport speculated
that an arms control deal could
help Reagan's position, although
she noted that the president has
not made much effort to 'get
himself out of this."

Among other aspects of the
scandal which were discussed
was the startling collusion of the
press and the administration in
the common interest of suppress-
ing the facts of the arms sales.

Davenport ventured that very
little will change with regard to
arms control and foreign policy in
the wake of the arms scandal.
"We're going to sit for two years."
she said.

by Sarah Copenhaver

Speaker of the House: Women
of the Association of Students. I
would like to introduce House Bill
'87. a proposal for Sarah
Copenhaver as SGA President.
First. I'd like to say that this
proposal has been thoroughly
discussed with favorable results.
I would now like to answer any
questions from the floor.

Representative Alice: What is this
kid's background 9
Speaker: She is a Political Sci-
ence/Business Preparatory
major, and is currently working for
the Council of Juvenile Court
Judges.

Rep. Alice: And her qualifications?
Speaker: Sarah has represented
her class on Rep Council for two
years, also serving as a member
of the Budget and Food Commit-
tees. She is a member of Second
Century, a student/ faculty com-
mittee, and a member of the Civil
Air Patrol, which is an auxiliary of
the U.S. Air Force.
Rep. Diane: Interpersonal skills
are important. Don't you agree 9
Speaker: Yes. I do. She excels in
this area. Sarah works well with
others, both peers and faculty/
administration. She is an excel-
lent listener, even if she doesn't

agree with that person. More
importantly, she can present
views she might not agree with if
they are for the benefit of the
students.

Rep. Alice: What about reports of
her joining a youth gang called
"Second Rebekah." and her being
seen with them at Tracksides. an
Agnes Scott watering hole?
Speaker: This "gang" contains
several student leaders from SGA
and Honor Court, and I have been
told they are harmless. As for
Tracksides. I am sure she was just
gathering opinions.

Rep. Alice: Speaking of opinions,
can she handle conflicting views
and controversial issues?

Speaker: Yes. Sarah is open-
minded and able to identify with
students' concerns and feelings.
Finally, she is very perceptive of
the need for compromise and is
able to work toward a satisfactory
result.

Rep. Alice: What about her
communication skills?
Speaker: She brings maturity,
sound reasoning and sometimes
humor into her arguments. She
can discuss problems clearly and
logically. For example.. Sarah had
to explain to her roommate that it
is suicidal to eat a whole jar of
pickles and 12 oatmeal pies.
Rep. Diane: You realize we are
looking for a responsible, or-
ganized, and well-rounded person.
Speaker: Yes. and I believe this
candidate is just that. Sarah has
balanced school work and a
Governor's internship, and she
has helped organize several
student activities. This makes for
a hectic schedule, but this demon-
strates her ability to meet the
demands of SGA President.
Rep. Alice: Well. Ms. Speaker,
with the qualifications put before
us. I feel confident that Sarah
Copenhaver will be our best
representative.

Rep. Diane: I'll second that, and
I encourage the other members
of the Association of Students to
vote for Sarah Copenhaver as
SGA President.

Interdorm Presidential Candidates:

by Christy Noland

My name is Christy Noland. I'm
a junior Psychology/English
major. Right now I hold the
position of Interdorm Secretary.
During my sophomore year. I was
a Dorm Counselor in Walters. At
the beginning of this year. I was
Inman Secretary, a position I
resigned from when asked to
become Interdorm Secretary. I
developed organizational skills
working with Sophomore Parent's
Weekend, which I have put to
good use as Interdorm Secretary.

by Debbie Wilson

Dorm living is a major compo-
nent of life for most Agnes Scott
students. For this reason, it is
important that our Interdormitory
Council be efficient and well-
organized. The President of
Interdorm plays a major part in
this organization, in order to
effectively do so. she must pos-
sess certain traits.

One of the most important traits
is organization. A lot of time is
involved, and the Interdorm Pres-
ident must be able to give this
time even during a week when
she has several commitments.
Management of time and ac-
tivities allows her to do so. Good
communication skills are also
necessary. The Interdorm Presi-
dent must be able to communi-
cate her own ideas, listen to the
ideas of others, and carry out

I have often been described as
responsible, concerned with
people, capable, dependable and
understanding.

I

ideas which result in beneficial
changes. Effective interaction
with dorm presidents and coun-
selors is essential to be an
intermediary between the stu-
dents and the administration.
Communication with other organi-
zation presidents is needed to
unify and improve campus life.
Commitment and persistence are
also necessary. Many situations
and problems she deals with.

I am running for the position of
Interdorm President because I am
concerned with the attitude felt on
campus. I am concerned about
the use of Interdorm positions to
obtain specific rooms, or just as
fillers on resumes. I like being
associated with an organization
which is concerned about, and
tries to be involved with, students
in the residence halls.

I see a need for some changes,
and I would like to be involved in
bringing them about. Parietals. '
lobby hours, dorm searches, and
the expectations of Dorm Council
members are all areas in which I
would like to see changes.

such as a questionable Judicial
Board case, are not easily solved
and require time and persistence
in order to be taken care of.

Even though the job of Inter-
dorm president is not an easy
one. she should care and enjoy
what she is doing. By caring, the
commitment, persistence, and
interaction come more easily and
last for the whole year not just
the first semester. Having been
involved with Interdorm for two
years. I know what I am getting
myself involved in. I desire the job
and will be dedicated to the job if
elected. I plan to work hard to
improve Interdorm by creating
more campus activities, by im-
proving standardization of the
Judicial policy, and by better
communicating Interdorm ac-
tivities and changes to the student
community. Dedication to this
closeness will result in a unifica-
tion of Interdorm which will last for
years to come.

ASC Inspires Women to

be leaders?

have had on a co-ed campus.
Dissent on this issue came from
Karen King, a sophomore, who
feels that ASC has not driven her
to be a leader because, as she
puts it. "it's so easy for students
to be leaders on this campus."
She expounded on her opinion by
saying that, for the most part, the
ASC's campus is apathetic, and it
is very rare for one to find a
student willing to take the initiative
to get things started. Karen
specified what she meant by
using the election system as an
example. The election system is
a popularity game. You don't really
have to campaign for the lower
offices in the really important
student organizations. For in-
stance, how much initiative does
it take to write your name on a
piece of paper." Karen expressed
her desire to be an artist, but she
stated that the materialization of
that desire will have more to do
with her ambition than Agnes
Scott will.

A more extreme example of
student opinion came from Sarah
Goodwin, a senior, who feels that
her initial desire, but not potential,
to be a woman leader has actually
diminished while attending Agnes

be a woman leader has been
reduced: I am much more tradi-

tional than I ever was before. I
think I have become turned off by
the role models put forth by
some of ASC's non-traditional
administrators."

The concluding statements by
students suggest that ASC
creates a positive influence on
them even if it does not instill a
feeling of obligation towards

leadership. Anita Irani, a senior,
feels that ASC encourages its
students to speak up. and to be
courageous about what one
thinks as a woman. Finally Senior

Scott has made me aware of the
need for women leaders and of
the progressive idea that female
leadership is a natural condition."

Grounds Renovation Continues

by Lisa Gugino

In all the literature on women's
colleges, there is always some
reference made to the amazing
number of graduates who go on
to become women leaders. The
message that seems to be em-
phasized is that somehow one's
chances are better of having
leadership qualities if one is
nurtured by the supportive envi-
ronment of an all women's col-
lege. This week, in an attempt to
uncover a possible connection
between leadership and single
sex institutions, students at Agnes
Scott were asked to give their
opinions on this topic. More
specifically, students were asked
whether they feel that they, as
women, have an obligation or a
responsibility to become women
leaders because of their experi-
ence at Agnes Scott.

Interestingly enough, there is a
great deal of consensus that
Agnes Scott does not create a
feeling of obligation towards
leadership, but it does create a
preparatory atmosphere for
leadership. Carolyn Weaver, a
sophomore, is typical in her
answer that "I don't feel an
obligation to do anything because
of ASC. but that doesn't mean I
won't." She went on to express
puzzlement by saying she feels
her Agnes Scott experience will
encourage and motivate her to be
a leader, but that she does not

predisposition.

Megan Wallace, a freshman, is
a bit more definite in her feelings
towards this issue. "Yes. I feel that

1 will probably be a leader in my
community because ASC has
given me the confidence to
achieve what I want. ...Also, the
faculty has contributed to that
feeling by emphasizing our poten-
tial." Megan is not alone in her
praise of the faculty. Adele
Clements, a junior, vehemently
stated. "ASC doesn't let you be
second best, ever! The way the
faculty treats you here raises your
expectations so that you expect
more than second best, granted
the potential has to be there, but
for the most part we have great
role models. I can think of several
on the faculty."

Increased involvement on the
women's campus seems to be
another link in the connection
between leadership and single
sex institutions. Lynn Wilson, a
junior, feels no obligation to be a
leader due to Agnes Scott, but
she feels that the inclination was
already there due to her involve-
ment in various activities. "Once
you get involved here, more
people want you to get involved
in more things, and it does tend
to nurture leadership qualities."

As you may have noticed, a few
changes are taking place around
the campus. The grounds crew,
under the supervision of Victoria
Lambert, is working hard to
spruce up the campus in prepara-
tion for the Agnes Scott Centen-
nial in 1989. Plans for improve-
ments throughout the campus are
under the direction of Edward L.
Daugherty. a Landscape Ar-
chitect. Phase one of the project,
beginning in the alumnae parking
lot. is underway now. The lot has
been extended, and two emer-
gency telephones will be installed
in the Candler parking lot. The
sidewalk on the north side of
Winship will be extended, and
Forsythia plants, along with two
Dogwoods, will be planted on the
east side of Winship. Also on the

north side of Winship. there will
be a pedestrian entrance. A gate
which once stood in the main
entrance now facing College
Avenue is now being restored for
this purpose.

There will be a daylily bed on
the south side corner of Walters,
to screen the post office loading
dock and provide a better view
from Walters. There will be trees
planted in staggering fashion
between the parking lot and the
post office loading dock. Many
other trees, flowers, and shrubs
will be planted in this area. Among
them are the Red Maple. Ser-
viceberry. Foster Holly. Oakleaf
Hydrangea. Otto Luyken Laurel,
and Skip Laurel. These and many
more have been "carefully
selected for their aesthetic value."
according to Victoria Lambert

The Rebekah parking lot will
also be extended to accommo-

date approximately one hundred
cars. Golden Rain trees will be
planted in islands in the parking
lot. Along South McDonough
Street, there will be Yaupon Holly.
A hedge of Skip Laurel and four
large Red Maple will run between
Buttrick Drive and Rebekah park-
ing lot. On the corner of the
entrance to Buttrick drive there
will be American Holly. Construc-
tion in this area is scheduled to
begin around spring break. The
area around the Buttrick terrace,
which will be similarly refurbished
by Victoria Lambert and the
grounds crew, will be finished in
time for graduation. A proposal is
being worked up for the renova-
tion work in the quad. Included in
these proposals are plans for the
repositioning of some sidewalks,
the addition of shade trees,
azaleas, and a daylily bed. These
plans and others are scheduled
to be completed by 1989

Professor Profile

As some of you may know.
February is designated as Black
History month. It is a month in
which the black community cele-
brates its history and recognizes
outstanding black achievements.
In order to enlighten the Agnes
Scott College communuity. Stu-
dents for Black Awareness spon-
sored events specifically to com-
memorate Black History Month.
Beginning on January 20, the
Georgia Sea Island Singers enter-
tained us with songs originally
composed by slaves. Through the
stories and songs, the couple
gave the audience a better under-
standing of black heritage.

Psychology at Morehouse Col-

Many students have often won-
dered what everyone else thought
of the Agnes Scott campus. Out
of curiosity, theoretically speak-
ing. The Profile compiled a list of
ten questions. Students, having
been asked to give "honest" an-
swers, were presented with these
thought provoking questions. Un-
fortunately, all of the student body
could not be polled, but various
students representing the four
classes were asked. The answers,
given in confidence, range from
amusing to outrageous.

To start on a positive note, the
students were asked, "What do
you like best about ASC 9 *' An
overwhelming number of students
felt that the faculty is the cam-
pus' biggest asset. The senior
class representatives thought the
"close-knit" family atmosphere and
the honor system make ASC a
special place to be. Several other
students favored the "superior
education."

Obviously, after one has voiced
her opinion about the best part of
ASC, she must have the oppor-
tunity to share her least favored
aspect of the campus. The upper-
class(wo)men were quick to re-
spond with the administration, as
well as a "lack of positive re-

tion. Dr. Marshall delivered a very
eloquent and informative lecture
which addressed some cardinal
issues relating to the plight of the
black masses in America He
introduced quite a variety of
dismal statistics which revealed
the disparate status between
blacks and whites in America. Dr.
Marshall concluded his speech
with a charge to the black women
of Agnes Scott: "Know thyself
African Women." One must attain
a true understanding of the past
in order to learn from it and press
forward into the future. As James
Baldwin said, "...an invented past
can never be used. It cracks under
the pressures of life like clay
during the season of the drought."

The climax of the events was
the annual Black History month
kick-off dinner. The speaker for
the evening was Dr. Nancy Boxill.
Professor of Psychology at Emory
University. Dr. Boxill directed her

inforcement." Of course, the jun-
iors' main concern was the lack
of social life, and leave it to those
Cheshire cats to be satisfied with
everything. (Well, maybe this does
not include every Cheshire cat.)
The fresh(wo)men's complaints
included "no men" and the lack of
concern for one another.

Students were then asked to
explain why they came to Agnes
Scott in the first place. The small
classes and the honor system
were the most appealing factors
for ASC. The faculty and the aca-
demics were also major points
that encouraged students to attend
school here. One fresh(wo)man
responded, "it's a woman's college
in the south where I wanted to be."

"What was least appealing when
you first reached ASC 9 " Of course,
the curfew and signing in and out
were number one. The food was
also a big complaint of the new
Agnes Scott student. However,
the majority of the representatives
from the sophomore class said
that there was not anything about
ASC that did not appeal to them,
(what ideal students).

When asked what they would
change about the college if they
were given the opportunity, stu-
dents found themselves full of
ideas. Besides the usual and ob-
vious answers of food and no
men. students came up with some

speech towards issues relating to
the black family She heeded a
warning that blacks should be
careful not to credulously accept
the media's portrayal of the black
community Yes. the black com-
munity does have a lot of prob-
lems, but no. the black community
is not the only community which
suffers from these problems. Dr.
Boxill also gave encouraging
challenges to black ASC women.
She said, "Be energetic and
enthusiastic about black aware-
ness. Also be more willing to
share your experience with
people who are perhaps ignorant
of the diversified history of
blacks." Thus, it is vital for blacks
to ascertain a profound apprecia-
tion and understanding of their
culture, history, and achieve-
ments. Once this is attained, be
proud to share the knowledge
and present it in a positive light.

interesting responses. Many stu-
dents wanted to increase faculty
salary. Others felt that there should
not be any tenured positions.
Many of the junior class thought
that there should not be such an
emphasis placed on renovation
or the class of 1989 and the cen-
tennial status. "How people walk
across the grass." "the cliques of
friends." and "the abuse to the
honor system" were among many
of the ideas. One student summed
it up though when she said. "It
wouldn't be ASC if we changed it."

For a change of pace, students
were asked to share the aspect
of Agnes Scott College which they
feel least informed about. Tne
majority of answers dealt with the
politics of professors and admin-
istrative decisions. Other people
felt that they knew very little about
campus organizations and the
qualifications needed to get in.
"Requirements for membership in
Mortar Board" was a response
given by many underclass(wo)men.
However, several students felt that
the precious handbook says it all.

Well, the above is a represen-
tation of what the student body
thinks about ASC. Remember this
is only the opinion of randomly
chosen students, and it does not
attempt to represent the thoughts
and ideas of the entire student
body, but it might.

Dr. Michael Brown. Charles A.
Dana Professor of History and
chair of the Department, came to
the United States when he was
twenty-one years old from Wal-
lasey. Chesire. England. Dr.
Brown attended school in Eng-
land which would be comparable
to our high school. Dr. Brown also
served in the British Army (1950-
52) as a Gunnery Instructor. While
in England. Dr. Brown heard about
and applied for a scholarship to
attend LaGrange College in La-
Grange. Georgia. Dr. Brown
stayed in the U.S. because he
met his future wife. Lee. at
LaGrange College.

After graduating from La-
Grange College. Dr. Brown re-
ceived a Danforth Fellowship to
pursue his interest in history at
Emory University. Dr. Brown
received his M.A. and Ph.D. from
Emory University. His doctoral
dissertation was on the 17th
Century English Diplomat Sir
Thomas Roe. Dr. Brown did his
dissertation research at Emory
and at various libraries in Eng-
land. While on the staff of Agnes
Scott, Dr. Brown was awarded a
fellowship to do research in
order to write his book Itenerant
Ambassador.

In 1960 Dr. Walter Posey, a joint
professor at Agnes Scott College
and Emory University, invited Dr.
Brown to teach at Agnes Scott.
Dr. Brown left Agnes Scott in 1962
to return to his alma mater.
LaGrange College, to teach his-
tory Dr. Brown has taught history
at Davidson College, the Univer-
sity of Alabama, the University of
Tennessee, and Emory University
for brief periods.

Though Dr. Brown has only
lived in Georgia, he has traveled
extensively in the United States.
A former family hobby was camp-
ing. Dr. Brown would take his
family camping all over the U.S.
Now that his children are older,
Dr. Brown has limited his travels
to England, where he goes each
summer. Dr. Brown's hobbies
include gardening, photography,
and woodworking. Incorporating
his love of gardening with his
enthusiasm of photography. Dr.
Brown enjoys taking pictures of

gardens, flowers, and buildings.
Dr. Brown has pictures of the
building of MARTA from the day
they broke ground to the first day
the system was in public opera-
tion. These pictures are prize
works in his photograph collec-
tion. Because of his work, he was
able to receive special permission
to ride MARTA with the officials of
Atlanta before the system was
open to the general public. Dr.
Brown admits that, though he
enjoys these hobbies, he spends
most of his time reading history
of some sort.

Dr. Brown also encourages
students to attend the various
college events, such as the Royal
Winnepeg Ballet. Dr. Brown is the
Chair of the College Events
Committee. His committee is in
charge of planning and arranging
cultural events for the College,
including the. Kirk Concert Series.
The committee takes requests to
fund events or speakers for
students and faculty on a first
come, first approved, first served
basis. Dr. Brown says. "We insist
that anything we find must be
opened to the whole campus
community" Dr. Brown finds his
position on the committee "very
satisfying."

When asked "If you were going
into space for 10 years, what one
book, album, and movie would
you take 9 " Dr. Brown quickly
responded. "I would much rather
go to a village in the English
countryside." He would choose
The Complete Works of Shakes-
peare: his collection of Beethoven
for his album(s) ; and for his movie.
Chariots of Fire for a very special
reason. Chariots of Fire was
filmed on a beach 400 yards from
his home in England.

While Dr. Brown's immediate
family lives in the United States
he also has family in Australia.
New Zealand. Canada, and South
Africa. Having relatives in these
countries is very characteristic of
the English, according to Dr.
Brown. Though his family is
spread far and wide, they all still
observe an old family custom. On
Christmas day at 1 p.m. (8 a.m.
in the United States), each
member of the family stops
wherever he or she is and drinks
a toast to his family. So. though
Dr. Brown is in Decatur. Georgia
with the rest of us. he does not
forget his English heritage.

by Dana Keller

Atlanta Constitution columnist
Ron Hudspeth reported recently
on local efforts to organize a St.
Patrick's Day parade, provoking
him to comment. "Why should
Savannah have all the fun?" Its
true Savannah's parade and
other festivities have become
nearly synonymous with 'party-
ing" and good times: even if you
can't be there on the 17th of
March, it's still a great place to
spend a long weekend. But on St.
Patrick's Day. Savannah really
comes alive, albeit with a green
tinge. Everyone is Irish for the
day. regardless of ancestry

If you want to experience St.
Pat's Savannah-style and you got
in on one of those great packages
that include hotel rooms, you're in
luck. The one that Ms. G. was
promoting some weeks ago in-
cluded accomodations at one of
the better hotels in the downtown
historic district, the Hyatt These
hotels tend to be booked solid far
in advance because they are
central to most of the "action."
Motels in other parts of the city
also tend to fill up as March draws
closer. This year, the 17th falls on
a Tuesday, which may inhibit the
numbers of people coming into
the city and increase your
chances of finding a local roof
over your head. But if you can't
beg your way into a room or stay
with friends, don't give up yet.
Provided you have a car. Har-
deeville. SC and Richmond Hill.
GA are both very near on I-95
and have numerous chain
hotels usually at lower rates.

Celebrating begins the night
before and lasts until the early
hours of the 18th. and you'll find
that the downtown area is the key
to your plans. On St. Pat's
morning the hotels set up auxiliary
bars and food facilities in their
lobbies. The DeSoto Hilton and
Hyatt particularly are centers of
such early morning activity, serv-
ing breakfasts which include such
items as green biscuits and green
gnts, frequently accompanied by
green beer. Of course, if aesthetic
concerns prevent you from putting
anvthinq Technicolor areen into

your body non-green food and
drink are available also. Savan-
nah's various Irish societies
sponsor private breakfasts, but
the Mass which most members
attend afterwards is open to the
public in the beautiful Cathedral
of St. John the Baptist on Aber-
corn Street. Nearly all of the
historic district may be covered on
foot. If you have a car to worry
with, arrive early to find a space.
Dark it. and leave it.

The United States' second-
largest parade does not begin
until after the conclusion of the
Mass. Although the parade is
long, it is decidedly colorful and
most people watch at least some
(if not all) of it. It's also broadcast
on a local television station. A
map of the parade route is printed
in the local paper, but if you're
downtown, it's hard to miss.

Post-parade has to include a
visit to River Street. This long row
of renovated warehouses and
factoring houses lies next to the
Savannah River if you are stay-
ing at the Hyatt, it is just below
and behind you. River Street's
great collection of shops, restau-
rants and bars draws huge
crowds of "Irish." but it's safe, and
the "party" atmosphere is amaz-
ing. River Street is also home of
the legendary "Spanky's." whose
special St. Patrick's Day t-shirts
are favored souvenirs of col-
legiate visitors.

With all due respect to the
Atlanta organizers, they'll have to
go a long way to top Savannah's

Australian Attends ASC

by Kim Lamkin

The Profile recently had the
opportunity to interview interna-
tional student Karen Novell, who
is from Alice Springs. Australia.
Karen spoke about the similarities
and the differences between life
in Australia and life in the United
States, particularly those issues
relating to college students.

Karen said that dating in Austra-
lia and the United States is very
similar, except that people in
Australia begin going out at a
younger age. such as 14 or 15.
Couples enjoy the standard din-
ners and movies, but discos and
bars are also popular.

Housing in Australia is also
similar to that of the United States.

Australians generally dwell in
smaller homes due to the intense
heat and high cost of air condition-
ing though. One fascinating as-
pect of housing is that people who
work in opal mines live entirely
underground.

The collegiate system in Austra-
lia is quite different than that of
the United States. Private high
schools are called colleges, and
students who continue their
schooling beyond high school
attend universities. Only about
10o of graduating students go on
to universities, which are located
in capital cities such as Sidney
and Melbourne. Before their finals
in high school, students apply for
either a bachelor of science or a
bachelor of arts degree. If they
are accepted in a university their
courses are chosen for them.

only proper role for the U.S.
government, aside from moral
approbation, would be to approve
the shipment of private arms to
the freedom-fighters). But there is
no such movement. The dominant
element of the anti-Pretoria op-
positon. the one that will ultimately
rule should this revolution suc-
ceed, is socialist. Its goal like
that of the Marxist, one-party state
of Zimbabwe that overthrew
white-minority rule in Rhodesia
is to replace a government that
oppresses non-whites with a
government that enslaves
everyone indiscriminately. If lib-
erty is the yardstick, the inescap-
able conclusion is that both white
and black South Africans would
be immeasurably harmed should
the ANC ever prevail. (And so
would Americans, incidentally, by
having one less anti-Soviet gov-
ernment in the world and one
more pro-Soviet one.)

However, there is a solution to
this problem. The way to eliminate
racist oppression in South Africa
is by the adoption of the political
system in which racism is unwork-
able and justice is profitable:
capitalism. Capitalism is not what
South Africans now have. Theirs
is a mixed economy, heavily
weighted toward the statist side.
Government intervention is rife,
ranging from state involvement in
business to the banning of books
on religious grounds. The very
structure of apartheid is propped
up by law by laws that prevent
people from not discriminating
against blacks.

But the basic structure of a
private economy still exists
there and a private economy is
the greatest threat to apartheid,
and ought to be encouraged, not
destroyed. Racism cannot endure
in a laissez-faire society. A busi-
ness that refuses to hire compe-
tent blacks or to sell its goods to
paying blacks will suffer the
consequences of its irrationality
It will lose money and. as its more
rational competitors open their
doors to all races, will gradually
be driven out of business. Under
capitalism, anyone is free to
choose not to deal with some
racial group but he is not
shielded by the government from
the consequences of his decision
That is. there are no laws prevent-

ing others from perceiving the
value that black employees and
customers and suppliers offer,
and trading with them. In a fully
free market, the incorrigibly irra-
tional will occupy less and less of
a role in the economy as they lose
business to the unprejudiced. It is
state-mandated racism that pro-
tects bigots from the effects of
their irrationality. Pretoria clings to
its network of apartheid legislation
because without such laws too
many whites would willingly inte-
grate blacks into the economy.

What is needed in South Africa,
therefore, is the removal of all
government impediments to free
enterprise. All laws that prohibit
businesses from hiring or land-
lords from renting to or schools
from enrolling anyone they
choose should be immediately
abolished. It is not negotiation
over "power-sharing" that the
white government owes blacks,
but rather the freedom to exercise
individual rights, including prop-
erty rights. This is where the
primary focus of any anti-apartheid
movement ought to be. rather
than on the question of the vote.
If basic, substantive rights are not
first established, the right to vote
is meaningless. If there is no right
to produce one's livelihood, to own
printing presses, to live one's life
free of government control then
the opportunity to vote does
nothing except allow the slaves to
choose the particular identity of
their masters. After all. the people
in Russia vote regularly. Unless
the inalienability of man's rights is
recognized, voting simply per-
petuates the oppression, and it
then makes little difference to the
ruled whether there is even a
choice of candidates.

It is the collectivist viewpoint of
many whites in South Africa that
makes them afraid to acknowl-
edge that blacks and whites have
the same rights. The group, not
the individual, is their basic unit
of society. They regard conflict as
inevitable, therefore, since group
membership is the key to special
privileges, which can come only
at the expense of others. And they
then feel a necessity to acquire
political power and political supre-
macy in order to keep other
groups in thrall. But an indi-
vidualist perspective would make

As for the role of women in
Australia. Karen said that it is very
similar to the role of women in the
United States. Karen thought that
Australia might have even more
women in the work force than the
United States does.

Karen feels that many young
Australians do not think much of
Americans. This may be due to
the fact that the United States has
many satellite probing bases
throughout the country. Some
Australians may feel. Karen

deliver the following ultimatum to
Pretoria: "We will not do business
in your country unless we are free

companies did this, it would be a
deadly blow to apartheid It would
establish the principle that lais-

prosper and makes racism wither
away. (This is in contrast to the
harmful "Sullivan Principles"
adopted by many businesses,
which, by making companies
pledge to tram and promote
blacks and to provide them with
schooling and housing only
serve to imply that profit-seeking
capitalism fuels racism and pov-

truism as atonement for its sins. )

one that denies all rights to its
citizens and that militarily

him that one can condemn racists
while also regarding the present
enemies of South Africa as even
worse, and that what South Africa
needs is not "power-sharing" but
unrestricted free enterprise
because the solution to minority
rule is not majority rule, but the
rule of individual rights.

Royal Winnipeg Ballet Dances Various Styles

by Sarah Napier

On Monday, February 9 in
Presser Hall, as part of the Kirk
Concert Series, the Agnes Scott
community was treated to an
evening with Canada's Royal
Winnipeg Ballet. The company
performed five pieces to the
accompaniment of their own
touring orchestra.

The evening opened with "Pas
De Dix," a classical piece
choreographed by George
Balanchine. The piece uses eight
dancers, which made it difficult to
perform on a stage as small as
the one in Presser Hall. Despite
the limitations of the stage, the
dancers adapted well and gave a
clean and energetic performance.

The next piece, "Belong." pro-
vided a nice contrast to the
classical "Pas De Dix." "Belong"
was a duet performed by Sarah
Slipper and Andre Lewis. The
music and the choreography were
contemporary, utilizing the flexibil-
ity and lyrical quality of Slipper
and Lewis* dancing. The dancers
began on the floor and as the
dance progressed they moved
constantly away from and then
back towards each other, their
bodies intertwining in creative
ways. The dance ended with

Slippers and Lewis in a graceful
embrace on the floor, their
shadows etched on the backdrop.

After intermission the mood
was again classical, with the
performance of the "White Swan
Pas De Deux." This Pas De Deux
is one of the most famous in all
of classical dance, and many
famous ballerinas, such as
Natalia Makarova. are known for
their interpretation of the ballet.
The Pas De Deux was danced by
Svea Eklof and Stephen Hyde,
who moved with grace and ele-
gance. The one drawback to this
performance was the tempo of
the music, which was amazingly
slow. This obviously made many
of the steps more difficult for the
dancers, which in turn made it
less pleasinq to watch.

The most unusual piece in the
program. "Song of a Wayfarer,"
choreographed by Maurice Bejart.
was next. The piece was danced
by John Kaminski and David
Peregrine and set to music by
Gustav Mahler. It was interesting
to see two men perform a duet
although the meaning of this piece
was difficult to interpret. Many of
the movements performed by the
men seemed feminine, while
others seemed typically strong
and masculine. The piece was
truly "modern" as the dancers
were barefoot in simple unitards.

Atlanta Ballet Dances with
The Symphony Orchestra

The Atlanta Ballet and Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra will com-
bine their talent and energy on
February 27th and 28th for a very
special performance as part of
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's
"Champagne and Coffee Con-
certs." Under the direction of
William Fred Scott, the theme of
this performance is "Invitation to
the Dance."

Prima Ballerina Maniya Bar-
redo and Principal Dancer Nicolas
Pacana will perform a beautiful
and exciting pas de deux from
The Nutcracker. "December isn't
the only time to enjoy this classic
ballet," says Kenneth T. Hertz,
President of The Atlanta Ballet.
This romantic dance is sure to be
like a breath of fresh air to the
audience.

The performances will be held
on February 27th at 8:00 p.m. and
February 28th at 11:00 a.m. and
8:00 p.m. at Symphony Hall.
Complimentary champagne is
served following the Friday and
Saturday evening concerts; with
coffee and pastries, compliments
ot Colony Square Hotel, being
served at 10:00 on Saturday
morning. William Fred Scott will
give a pre-concert lecture at 10:30
a.m.

Tickets for this special concert,
"Invitation to the Dance," may be
purchased at the Woodruff Arts
Center Box Office at Peachtree
and 15th Street or by calling 892-
2414. Box Office hours are 11:00
a.m. through 8:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday and noon through
8:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.

After another intermission, the
evening ended with an upbeat
piece titled "Facade." The pro-
gram contained a note about
"Facade" calling it "a light-hearted
divertisement. a witty parody of
dance styles in a suite of dances."
The piece was very playful with
fanciful costumes and a colorful
set. The dance contained eight
sections, each a characterization
of a different dance style. The first
was the Scottish rhapsody and
next was the swiss yodeling song,
following the polka, foxtrot, waltz,
popular song, tango, and finally
the tarantella. Although the dance
was humorous and obviously a
satire, the dancers were techni-
cally good and performed with
excellent facial expressions.
"Facade" was a good choice for
the finale. It ended the evening on
an upbeat note and gave the
audience a chance to see all of
the dancers for the closing of the
performance.

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet
brought many dance styles with
them to Agnes Scott, which gave
the audience a chance to experi-
ence an array of styles and
moods. The dancers performed
well, despite the limitations of the
small stage. The live orchestra
was also a welcome addition to
the evening.

Morehouse Performs with ASC

by Nica Poser

The ASC Glee Club presented
the campus with a special oppor-
tunity on Sunday. February 15 as
the Morehouse Glee Club was
invited to join in a concert given
in Presser Hall.

The ASC Glee Club opened the
concert with an appropriate piece.
"When I Meet My Man" and closed
with the well-known "Christmas
Alleluia."

The main focus of the concert,
of course, was the performance
of the Morehouse Glee Club. The
Morehouse men sang almost
exclusively acapella. gaining
strength and volume as the
performance continued.

One of the opening selections.
"Death Be Not Proud." was well-
received by the audience. Several
of the Morehouse selections
stood out. largely due to the
impressive soloists. The popular
"Impossible Dream" brought an
enthusiastic response to the solo
performance of Tracy Coley. This
piece was followed by the rousing
"River Chant" with a solo perform-
ance by Stacy Robinson whose
incredibly strong baritone voice fit
the piece perfectly.

Gary Maddox added just the
right amount of humor to the
delightful piece "Gossip. Gossip."
The selection "Kere. Kere'" in-
cluded a variety of instruments,
giving an authentic tone to the
lyrics which presented a lover's
quarrel. The piece "There's a
Meeting Here Tonight" was domi-

nated by the soloists Robert
Connor and Troy Ellis.

The third section of the concert
was made up of pieces sung by
the combined Agnes Scott and
Morehouse Glee Clubs. This
segment included another strong
solo by Stacy Robinson of
Morehouse in "Hand Me Down"
and a lovely solo by Roberta
Daniel of ASC in "Oh. Po Little
Jesus." Oliver Sueing joined the
joint concert as soloist for the
remaining selections. On the
whole, the two clubs made a
successful combination. Perhaps
the only negative aspect of the
evening was the fact that more
members of the ASC community
did not take advantage of the
opportunity to hear such well-
presented singing.

pieces through the eyes of Miss
Piggy is featured at the Albany

Blackfriars Presentation of The
Insect Comedy Criticizes Humans

by Louisa Parker

"The Insect Comedy" by Josef
and Karel Capek is a bizarre tale
which offers new perspectives on
the idiosyncrasies of human
beings and on life and death. A
vagrant wandering through the
woods stumbles from insect
community to insect community.
Disgusted by these insects, he
insists that humans must be
better than insects, and he at-
tempts to prove this human
superiority to himself. However,
he discovers through his encoun-
ters that what he thinks to be a
difference between humans anc
insects is actually a similarity
between the two. For example,
when the Ichneumon Fly, a brief-
cased businessman, kills the

Cricket family to feed his daughter
Larva, he explains to the horrified
vagrant how hard it is to support
children. The vagrant begins to
insist that humans are not so
ruthless until he realizes that
many business men. looking out
for their interests and families, are
as unemotional as the Ichneumon
Fly. The vagrant also finds the
butterflies just as social, just as
silly, and just as sex-obsessed as
many people in the human world.

The insect world is a world
where life and death does not
mean much to the survivors. Iris
the butterfly laughs about her
lover being eaten by a bird. When
the ant dictator is informed about
how squadron after squadron of
his soldiers are being
slaughtered, he monotonously
replies, "As planned. Send out the
next squadron." The play shows

this attitude of death to be yet
another equalizing similarity be-
tween insects and humans, espe-
cially in the final scene. In this
scene, the lady and the construc-
tion worker who discover the
vagrant's dead body in the woods
are not shocked or particularly
interested; they simply go on their
ways.

The actors managed to reflect
the authors' dual purpose of
laughing at our human idiosyn-
crasies, and criticizing our faults.
Still, the play dragged during the
first two acts. The humor of the
well-written script was not em-
phasized; the most hysterical
lines were rushed. Nevertheless,
Bill Greeley was wonderfully
moving and convincing as the
vagrant, and overall the play was
enjoyable.

Atlanta's Center Stage Theatre on
Wednesday. March 4th. is a
Broadway show that got its un-
likely start in a New York City
steak house. This rousing blend
of country, blues, gospel and
rockabilly music set in a roadside
diner and gas station soon had
Broadway audiences and critics
alike on their feet singing its
praises.

Principal creator Jim Wann and
partner Mark Hardwick were
performing at a popular Manhat-
tan restaurant when, for their own
amusement, they took to wearing
gas station uniforms they found in
thrift shops and singing original
numbers about life along the
nation's highways. About the
same time, Wann's wife. Cass
Morgan, and her friend Debra
Monk, were developing a cabaret
act about the "Dinettes", a couple
of sisters called Cupp who run a
roadside eatery, called The Dou-
ble Cupp Diner.

Cass and Jim first met when
she auditioned for a part in Jim's
successful musical, Diamond
Studs, about the life and times of
legendary bandit Jesse James.
Cass, a member of the cast of the
original Broadway show, Hair, won
the part and soon had Jim's heart.
Both are accomplished musicians
and lyricists but had never col-
laborated before. At first, they
were reluctant to work together,
but gradually, the foursome saw
the possibility of putting their
ideas together, and Pump Boys
and Dinettes was born.

The show first opened in a small
Manhattan cabaret where, for the
first two weeks, business was
dismal. But favorable word of
mouth on the show spread and
soon they were selling out every
performance. Sophisticated New

Yorkers loved the show's down-
home affability and the ingratiat-
ing manner of the consummate
American characters. To meet
audience demand, they moved to
a small Off-Broadway theatre for
a regular run where the New York
music and theatre critics declared
the show a refreshing and enter-
taining piece of Americana.

Several producers approached
Jim Wann about taking the show
to Broadway, and he especially
liked the thinking of the partners
at Dodger Productions, who
eventually moved the show to the
recently refurbished Princess
Theatre. Willie Nelson heard
about the show and when he was
in New York, walked in off the
street and bought a ticket. He
loved the show so much that he
paved the way for the production
of the original cast album for CBS
Records and Tapes.

Pump Boys and Dinettes ran
for a year and a half with several
prominent concert and recording
stars, including Loudon Wainwnght
III, Ronee Blakley, Tom Chapin,
and Maria Muldaur taking over
the principal roles. A pilot was
made for a possible TV series
based on the show's characters
and setting. Now Atlanta theater-
goers can see for themselves
what the happy fuss is all about!

Updated Ibsen Classic, A Doll's House, Runs at The Alliance

The Alliance Mainstage con-
tinues its 1986-87 season with
An American Doll's House which
runs through March 28.

Written in 1879. this classic
drama tells the story of one
woman's awakened understand-
ing of the falsehood and emo-
tional deceit upon which her
conventional marriage is built.

Norwegian-born Hennk Ibsen,
acknowledged as one of the
greatest masters of the modern
drama, was influential in leading
the literary trend in the 19th
century from romanticism to
realism, using everyday dialogue
and realistic settings in his produc-
tions. His use of the stage in
attacking social evils was a highly
controversial and unprecedented
innovation, causing many of his
works, including A Doll's House.
to banned throughout Europe.

An American Doll's House, the
20th century adaptation written
by Kathleen Tolan for the Alliance
production, updates the setting to
the late 1950s, in a northern
American city. The scenes have
been shortened to add a cine-

matic quality, and the language
relaxed from its original Victorian
stiffness, while staying faithful to
the original plot and dialogue.

Nora and Torvald Helmer have
been married for eight years, have
three children, and enjoy a typical
middle class home life of the
1950s. Flighty and flirtatious.
Nora is the picture of the perfect
doll-wife. For six years however,
she has been struggling to hide
from her husband a shameful
secret one that was necessary
to save his life.

When her secret is suddenly
revealed. Torvald's insensitive
reaction to Nora's plight and true
motivations exposes his preoccu-
pation with appearances and his
rigid sense of morality. The crisis
forces Nora to realize how much
her charming ignorance has been
a deliberately assumed mask of
her intelligence. Her cataclysmic
response is to leave Torvald.
announcing that she cannot live
under a stranger's roof.

Director Timothy Near, who has
been serving as Interim Associate
Artistic Director for the Alliance

this season, explains, "The late
fifties was perhaps the last time
in America that a story like A Doll's
House could take place. After
World War II there was enormous
pressure for women to leave the
work force and return home to be
the perfect wife helpless and
childlike and secretly the woman
behind the man. He was to
become the workaholic breadwin-
ner and she and her children were
to become the great consumers.'
Selecting a predominantly black
cast. Near believes that the
American dream was a partic-
luarly strong vision for black
families during this time period.

Broadway actress Michele
Shay will appear in the role of
Nora. On Broadway she appeared

At the New York Shakespeare

The Foreigner Gives Message

Jeff Brooks appears as the sh\ Charlie Baker, and Man Wickes appears
as IUtt\ Meeks in The Foreigner.

by Kimberly Baker

The Foreigner, a play by Larry
Shue, appeared on the Alliance
Theatres Mainstage during the
month of February. This produc-
tion, set in south Georgia, has a
timely message for the Alliance
audience.

As the play opens, Charlie
Baker (Jeff Brooks), an English-
man, arrives at Betty Meeks'
Fishing Lodge hoping to get away
from life's troubles. He is brought
there by his friend Sgt. "Froggy"
LeSueur who is in the area for a
seminar. Wanting to avoid interac-
tion with anyone, Charlie poses
as a non-English speaking
foreigner, thus rousing the curios-
ity of the locals who have never
met a foreigner before.

Charlie does not get the peace
and quiet he desires. Instead, he
discovers the secrets of the others
at the lodge, leaving them with the
impression that he cannot under-
stand what they are saying. He
overhears Catherine Simms
(Heather Lee), a former debu-
tante, announce her pregnancy to
her fiance, Reverend David
Marshall Lee (David Head). He
discovers that David and his
friend, good ole boy Owen Musser

(Al Hamacher). plan to use
Catherine's inheritance to buy the
lodge from Betty and use it as a
headquarters for a new all-white
America.

Charlie befriends Ellard Simms
(Adam Redfield), Catherine's
retarded brother and helps him to
gain confidence in himself.
Charlie also provides Betty,
played by Mary Wickes, with an
opportunity to experience her first
'foreigner". He is called upon to
save his new-found friends when
he puts them all in danger as a
result of the suspicions the
townspeople have of this stranger.

All of Charlie's actions are
misinterpreted to be strange
practices from his country. He
babbles his "native language" to
Owen whom he dislikes, and he
provokes him into bringing the Ku
Klux Klan to rid the town of this
"foreigner". Charlie and his friends
outwit the Klan and scare them
away.

The play is filled with humoF
which results from the misun-
derstandings of Charlie. There is
a humorous breakfast scene in
which Ellard and Charlie play with
their food and dishes. Betty saves
Charlie from "embarrassment" by
ordering Ellard to stop making fun
of Charlie and his native customs,
and she then orders Charlie to
place his glass back on his head

as he is accustomed to doing in
his country.

The play makes some strong
statements about prejudices
which are prevalent in our modern
society. The sight of the Klan
fighting to keep foreigners out of
America brings back visions of
Klansmen in Forsyth County.
These townspeople fear Charlie
because he has a different back-
ground, which demonstrates their
ignorance of other cultures. The
play also portrays the use of
religion for corrupted practices. It
is appalling to see a minister use
his office to become rich and to
lead others to corruption.

The Foreigner also celebrates
the good will of people like Betty,
who opens her home and her
heart to Charlie. Timothy Near,
Interim Associate Artistic Director
at the Alliance, says of the play,
"The Foreigner is a good old-
fashioned morality play about the
goodness of the human spirit and
how this basic goodness can
triumph over narrow-minded
mean spintedness."

The cast superbly portrays their
individual characters. Each one
truly takes on the characteristics
of his or her character. The
mannerisms and accents are
excellent; the southern accents
are incredibly accurate. The sets
and costumes capture the feeling

of the setting.

The play is both amusing and
disturbing. One moment the
audience is laughing at a silly
scene, and the Klan is storming a
house in the next. Most disturbing
of all is the feeling that the action
on the stage is not a fantasy. It is
an accurate portrayal of the

southern culture, thus the charac-
ters could be our neighbors, our
friends, our even ourselves.

The cast and crew have created
a fabulous play in The Foreigner,
which forces an examination of
our society and ourselves. Hats
off to the Alliance for their success.

Atlanta Ballet Announces Headlines! Tells Local History

March Repertoire

The Atlanta Ballet will bring
back spring in style this season
with two world premieres, the pas

Souvenirs, a world premiere by
Richard Cook, is an abstract work
inspired by Tchaikovsky's music.
It was begun as simply an exer-
cise in broad lyric movement
using a large group of dancers.
The ballet was originally only one
movement, and later Cook added

Dolphin Club Works in Preparation for March Shows

by Debbie L. Strickland

Although the mere thought of
swimming during February, when
Atlanta temperatures often dip
down into the 20's and 30 s. sends
a shiver through most Agnes Scott
students, one group on campus,
the Dolphin Club, practices swim-
ming routines several times a
week. They are busy preparing for
the shows that will be held on
March 5 and 6 at 7:30 p.m. and
9:00 p.m. at the pool in the gym.

President Sarah Goodwin and
Dr. Kay Manuel, faculty advisor to
the Dolphin Club, have invested
a great deal of time in what they
anticipate will be a fine show.

"Through the Waves of Time" is
this year's theme, and the per-
formers will salute the music and
the styles of several periods from
I900 to the future. Numbers
include a tribute to the 1920s
Charleston craze, and a Fifties
number choreographed to "Rock
Around the Clock."

For each number, the swim-
mers will wear different, colorful
costumes. For the Twenties
number, they will wear flapper
outfits. In their Sixties piece they
don tie-dyed bathing suits as they
perform to a Beatles tune, which
they have not yet chosen.

Synchronized swimming, ac-
cording to Sarah, is an endeavor
that "looks easy, but is not." The
activity demands upper body

strength, extra strong stomach
muscles, and breath control. Most
members of the Dolphin Club
swim year round and spend about
two hours a week practicing for
the upcoming shows, or an aver-
age of one hour for each number
in which the swimmer appears.
The club is composed of 20
swimmers, and 18 are appearing
in the shows.

Unlike most members, Sarah is
swimming in three numbers and
choreographing all of or part of
four numbers. As president, she
will be the only student to perform
a solo, one whose theme is a
secret. After joining the club in her
sophomore year when she trans-
ferred to Agnes Scott. Sarah has
followed in the footsteps of her

mother, who was also president
of the Dolphin Club when she
attended Agnes Scott. All the
Goodwins, who reside in nearby
Marietta, will be at the shows to
see Sarah and the rest of the
Dolphin Club shine.

Coach Kay Manuel has been
instrumental in the Dolphin Clubs
successes every year since 1958.
According to Sarah Goodwin.
Coach Manuel "has done the
most work'" in preparing the
shows and supervises every
practice session Monday-Friday.
This year she has also been using
her own video camera to tape
practices so that students can
better see and correct their
mistakes. Sarah says that
everyone in the club has found

the videotaping "very helpful."
Sarah Goodwin "can't thank her
enough for all that she's done."
She believes that Coach Manuel
has given more than her share of
time and devotion to the effort.

Both shows are free and open
to students. However, the Dolphin
Club advises that students attend
one of the Thursday night shows
because on Friday night, admis-
sion is by ticket only. This restric-
tion is due to Sophomore Parents
Weekend. On Friday night, the
club wants seats to be available
for all the parents. But any student
who wants to attend the Friday
night show can get a ticket from
any Dolphin Club member. The
Dolphin Club is looking forward to
once again entertaining .

Gretchen Pfeifer invites studi-nts to ^<>

Gretchen Instructs

Exercise Program

by Debbie L. Strickland

For the past five years, since
she saw the activity on a television
show, Gretchen Pfeifer has been
aerobicizing three or four times
per week. In 1983. when she
entered college as a freshman,
she began to invite others at
Agnes Scott to enjoy a vigorous
workout with her downstairs in the
Inman basement Around campus
this activity came to be known as
"Stretch with Gretch."

Although Gretchen is not an
aerobics instructor, she leads the
group, which fluctuates in size
from five to twenty, and in exper-
tise varies from novice to sea-
soned expert. She guides the
group through a "substantial
warm up" that includes a mild
upper body and abdominal work-
out and stretching of body mus-
cles from all regions. Once the
exercisers work up a light sweat
and feel some pull on those rarely
used muscles. Gretchen pro-
gresses to the heart of the
workout, the fifteen to twenty
minutes of intense aerobic exer-
cise. Gretchen and the group
bounce, run and twist from side
to side to the beat of Peter Gabriel
and other popular artists.

Although many of her followers
grow weary, they valiantly keep
pace with energetic Gretchen; her
selection of a wide variety of

exercises also staves off tedium
and exhaustion. She also pos-
sesses five tapes of music, which
prevent the workout from becom-
ing too routine.

Those who "stretch with Gretch"
do so for many reasons Unlike
health clubs, which charge enor-
mous fees, this workout is free
The atmosphere is also very
casual. Students can come and
go at will, and most find exercising
easier and less intimidating with
friends than with a large group of
strangers and a drill-master
instructor. They also like the
opportunity to workout with a
group instead of alone because
suffering alone is painful, but
suffering with friends builds
character.

Anyone, regardless of skill
level, is welcome to join Gretchen
and her group. Students need not
fear that it is too late in the year
to come because the difficulty
level never increases. In fact.
Gretchen uses the same routine
year round, a routine that both
beginners and experts can enjoy,
since it is stimulating but requires
only average flexibility. The group
meets at 5:00 p.m. in the Inman
basement on Mondays. Tues-
days. Thursdays, and Fridays
Gretchen cautions those who
have back problems, ankle prob-
lems, or who are for some reason
not in good health to see a
physician before participating in
this or any other strenuous activity

On Thursday, March 5, the Agnes Scott students elected from left to ri^ht: kath\ White. S(i\ President: Krista

Fast Held to Aid Nicaragua

by Sarah Jewett

On Tuesday. February 24 at
5:15 p.m.. 17 students began a 24
hour fast for peace in Nicaragua.
The fast was sponsored by Wag-
ing Peace, a new organization at
Agnes Scott. The purpose of the
fast was to raise money for direct
humanitarian aid for the Nicara-
guan people and to protest the
present U.S. policy in Nicaragua.

As the Student Mobilization for
Peace in Nicaragua states, "Pres-
ent United States policy towards
Nicaragua frustrates the dreams
of the Nicaraguan people for
peace, independence and mate-
rial security. Against the wishes of
its Latin American and European
allies, and of the broader interna-
tional community, the Reagan

administration continues to sabo-
tage the Nicaraguan economy
and to support the 'Contra' War.
These actions have caused
thousands of deaths and brought
Nicaragua's three million people
untold pain and hardship."

The money being raised is
being tallied under a nation-wide
banner called "Quest for Peace."
a campaign trying to match the
100 million dollars appropriated
by Congress to the Contras with
100 million dollars of humanitarian
aid. The $333.14 raised by Agnes
Scott students will be sent to Let
Nicaragua Live, an organization
designed to provide emergency
relief to Nicaragua. Their theme is
"to build, to learn, to work, to
plant, to grow, to live." Let Nicara-
gua Live also trains rural health
workers, builds childcare centers,
and supplies medical clinics.

In addition to the money raised.
60 signatures were gathered on
petitions. The petitions called for
1 ) an end to all aid to the Contras
fighting to overthrow the Nicara-
guan government. 2) full support
of the comprehensive and verifi-
able Contadora initiative for
peace proposed by Latin Ameri-
can nations, and 3) a resumption
of talks between the United States
and Nicaraguan governments.

The fast was not only financially
successful, but it increased cam-
pus awareness about the Nicara-
guan situation. It also gave the
fasters a fleeting glimpse of the
hunger that so much of the world
faces every day of every year.

If you are interested in Waging
Peace activities, please call
Sarah Jewett at x669 and Sarah
Napier at x660.

Church.

A $20 registration fee for the
symposium includes lunch. For
more information, call the Alum-
nae Office at 371-6323.

The convocation on Wednes-
day, February 25 featured a film
entitled "Women Make a Differ-
ence: Georgia Women in Politics."
Karen Greene introduced the film,
a brainchild of the Georgia
Women's Political Caucus, which
traces Georgia women's involve-
ment in politics from the time of
the suffrage movement to the
present.

The video began with a look
back to 1895 when women were
fighting for their right to vote. The
Howard sisters of Columbus,
. Georgia were remembered for
bringing the National American
Woman's Suffrage Association
Convention and a leader of
woman's suffrage, Susan B.
Anthony, to Atlanta. The film also
portrayed the first woman from
Georgia elected to the United
States Congress, Helen Douglas
Mankin. and her campaign travels
across the country in 1922.

In addition, Lillian Webb, the
county executive officer of Gwin-
nett County, was featured as
having such diverse respon-
sibilities as raising a family and
developing Gwinnett's infrastruc-

ture. Annie Rumph, the first
woman in the Peach County
Commission and the president of
the Peach County Coalition of
Black Women, had not considered
a career in politics until her friends
encouraged her to run.

The second half of the film
focused on a pane! discussion
with women who currently hold
elected or appointed positions in
Georgia politics. Monica Kaufman,
who led the discussion, inquired
of the panelists' entrance into
politics.

Cathey Steinberg, state repre-
sentative from the 46th district,
commented that when her friends
asked her to run for office, her
main concerns were her qualifica-
tions and how she would manage
her carpool duties. Steinberg said
that her decision to run was
finalized by her 13 year old's
statement. "Mom, if you think you
can do it, go for it."

One panel member expressed
her belief that more women would
enter politics if they were encour-
aged and supported in their
endeavor. With the rise of politi-
cally active women, the opening
words of the video ring truer than
ever: "It is hard to imagine a time
when women were put in jail
because they demanded the right
to vote."

EDITORIALS

LETTERS-

by Julie Hartline

It seems that I touched on quite a sensitive issue in my February
27th editorial. After spending the day at a newspaper convention
where I was informed that an editorials purpose was to elicit
response and discussion, I returned to ASC to attempt at
accomplishing this job. It seems that I did just that. I have received
several positive responses to my editorial, as well as some negative
ones.

My intentions were to get the Agnes Scott community to become
involved and to voice their opinions, not to openly accuse the
administration of being "coniving." I did not state that the actions
of the administration were only a "cold, calculated public relations
move." I did suggest, however, that public relations played a part
in their decision. As I said before, I realize the administration has
care and concern for the student body. If this were not the case, I
would be receiving my education elsewhere.

I was also not suggesting that the incident be handled via rumor.
I was merely making a comparison between this incident and others.
The administration had a difficult situation on their hands, and it is
most probable that they handled it in the best possible way.

In addition, my statements did not initiate this feeling on our
campus. As editor-in-chief of The Profile, I was informed of the
opinions of many students. Unfortunately, students were
questioning the actions of the administration before my editorial
ever came out. I simply wanted to open the door for students to
share their opinions and to get the administration to share the facts,
as well as their opinions, with the students.

Even though the written responses are quite critical of my
editorial, I am pleased. It is nice to see that students and
administrators will take a stance on an issue. It is sad, though, that
it takes something this large to generate response. Students
complain about the operations of the administration, Honor Court,
SGA, and other organizations, but we do not become involved until
after the fact. It was depressing to have only 95 people, including
faculty and staff, in attendance for the speeches given by the
presidential candidates on March 4. Where are we, you and I, before
the decisions are made and the actions are completed? We get
involved after a move has been made, but why aren't we making
ourselves a part of the decision-making process? I apologize for
my lack of information and my hastiness to respond. Perhaps if we
could become more involved and establish better channels of
communication, there would not be so much complaining.

March 3 and closed the following Monday, March 9 at midnight.
These petitions were submitted according to the guidelines in Article
XII, Section 4B of the Student Handbook to Box 34. All of those
who petitioned were required to be present at the Representative
Council meeting on Tuesday night. March 10 at 6:30 p.m.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Dean Addresses
Questions Raised

Dear Editor:

I would like to take this opportu-
nity to answer several of the
questions raised in the last edition
of The Profile. During my time as
a student and an employee at
Agnes Scott, there have been two
other similar incidents which have
occurred on campus. Each time,
a student body meeting was
called to communicate with stu-
dents the distressing nature of the
incident and to urge them, for
their own safety, to heighten their
awareness as they travel around
our campus and the city. I do not
believe anything with this tragic
significance should be communi-
cated to the students in an
informal manner.

The timing of the communica-
tion to students was totally depen-
dent on the victim and respect for
her privacy. The attack occurred
on Tuesday at 11 :30 p.m., and the
victim went home. She contacted
Officer Annette Childs, a trained
counselor for rape victims, who
went with her to Grady Hospital
on Wednesday. When one goes
to the Grady Rape Crisis Center,
she is often there for twelve to
fourteen hours. It was only at the
end of this process (late Wednes-
day evening) that the student
decided to share this information
with the police and the administra-
tion. The administration was not
told about this incident until mid
morning on Thursday. Students
were given this information on
Thursday evening. At that time, I
tried to present the facts in a
responsible and caring manner.

The administration felt that we
had an absolute obligation to
communicate our concern to the
students, while protecting the
privacy of the victim. The pres-
ence of prospective students had
nothing to do with the decision to
share information with the cam-
pus community. Prospective stu-
dents were our guests at the time,
and we felt a responsibility to
include them in the process even
though there was concern as to
how these young women might
react to this information. Of
course, we were worried about
the possible effect that this would
have on admissions. Admissions
is the life blood of a college, and
it is a high priority for everyone.

This, however, was not our first
concern. To tell the students and
prospective students about this
event and urge them to take
appropritate precautions was our
first concern.
Sincerely yours,
Gue P. Hudson
Dean of Students

Student Defends
Administration

Dear Editor:

I am writing in response to your
column which was in the last issue
of The Profile. I stand in defense
of what the administration (more
specifically, Dean Hudson) did
and, more importantly, of the
intentions behind the action. I
think that if you had consulted
with her, you would realize that
this action was not the cold,
calculated public relations move
which you make it out to be.
Furthermore, it seems absurd to
believe that the announcement of
such a tragic incident could be
seen as a PR move. The an-
nouncement of the rape to a group
of 17 year olds, many of whom
are from very small towns and
have no exposure to any sort of
crime, would seem to do more
harm than good; one never knows
how such an incident could be
exaggerated and, as a result, be
quite detrimental to the college. It
doesn't really matter how con-
cerned our administrators were;
to students who know nothing of
this campus, they will only re-
member that it happened. Thus, I
contend that it could, at best,
leave the prospective students
unchanged in their attitudes about
the college and, at worst, it could
leave them with a negative im-
pression of the college.

To address your point regarding
why an announcement was made
instead of letting the information
be spread via the rumor mill, I
must say that it was important for
each student to receive unadulter-
ated information, not information
which was passed down 14 times;
the fact that an attack occurred
on campus is not the sort of
information that one depends
upon rumor to circulate. The very
nature of the incident was such
that it could possibly make
everyone a little more cautious; it
seems fair that every student
(including prospective students)
should have access to this infor-

mation so that she might realize
that we do indeed live in the real
world (if she hadn't already
realized this).

Finally, the administration did
not receive any information re-
garding the attack until 11 :15 a.m.
on Thursday; therefore, it was
impossible for them to announce
it to students any earlier. Further-
more, I do not think that it is
necessary to doubt whether or
not Dean Hudson knew about it
earlier; because the student is not
a residential student, it is feasible
that she did not inform the school
immediately. It seems to me that
the decision to make this an-
nouncement (especially at a time
when such an announcement
could have hurt the college in
terms of admissions) was a
difficult one; moreover, it was one
which could have had far worse
consequences than the good that
could have resulted. You are
correct in saying that we will never
know how it would have been
handled had there been no pro-
spective students on campus.
However, I think that it is only fair
to view our adminstrators as
concerned members of this com-
munity instead of as opportunis-
tic, coniving ones.
Sincerely,
Melanie Sherk

Student Supports
Administration

Dear Editor:

I totally disagree with Miss
Hartline's February 27 editorial.
She has made several assump-
tions that not only deteriorate the
confidence students place in the
administration, but also begin
the type of rumors which she
condemns.

First, the meeting called by
Dean Hudson on Thursday night
was the best possible way to
correctly inform the students of
the tragic incident. The adminis-
tration's genuine care and
concern was evident in Dean
Hudson's speech and offers of
counseling for those students who
were troubled by the news.
Certainly, one cannot presume
that the administration had ulterior
motives, such as trying to conceal
this type of news in order to
highlight attention to Agnes Scott.
Their response to the rape was
by no means a public relations
move, and any accusations to

such a move are extremely
exaggerated.

Furthermore, I believe that the
administration's first concern is
with the students, faculty, and
community and that the crisis was
handled with tact and concern
despite the presence of prospec-
tive students. Ignorance can lead
to several questions which can
become rumors unless these
questions are answered correctly.
The rape was not reported until
Wednesday. Certainly, the
administration had to take time to
figure out a careful way to
communicate this type of news to
the ASC community. It is
preposterous to assume that they
would willingly keep the student
body ignorant of such a tragedy.

I am thankful that we have an
administration who cares enough
about the students to tell us about
the rape and try to help us with
our concerns in dealing with this
crisis. In conclusion, I feel that
many more students will agree
rape is not a successful form of
advertisement.
Respectfully submitted,
Teresa Ramirez

Director Commends
Administration

Dear Editor:

I was dismayed to read your
column "The Ink Tank" in the last
issue of The Profile dismayed
that you would find fault with both
the administration's timing in
telling students about the recent
rape on campus and with the
intentions of Dean Hudson in
presenting that information.

Contrary to your assumption,
the announcement of the rape
was not a public relations ploy. If
that had been its purpose, it would
have made more sense to with-
hold the information until the
visiting Honors Scholars candi-
dates had left. Instead, coming
out with the story while visitors
were on campus was very risky,
because it is quite likely that some
of the prospective students may
choose not to come to Agnes
Scott because of the rape. How-
ever, Dean Hudson took the risk
and choose to inform students
because, quite simply, it was the
right thing to do.

In addition, students were told
about the rape as soon as it was
feasible to do so. The administra-
tion did not "wait" to inform
students, as you suggest. It could
not inform students on Wednes-

day because the incident was not
reported to the College until
Thursday.

Instead of criticism, Dean
Hudson deserves high praise.
She carried out a very difficult
task with tremendous courage
and honesty. I hope that you and
other students who may share
your view of this matter will
reconsider your assumptions. In
looking to find fault, you have
failed to recognize integrity and
leadership in action. Too bad. It
was a fine moment for Agnes
Scott.
Sincerely,
Marilynn Mallory
Director of RTC Program

Officer Reponds
to Criticism

Dear Editor:

Please bare in mind that I am
not responding in defense of
Public Safety, because that would
mean that we are accepting the
blame for the unfortunate inci-
dents that have occurred during
these last months. What I am
responding to is the comments
made by your fellow classmate in
an article in the February 27th
issue of The Profile, which
criticizes the manner in which the
community is informed, our moral
duties, and questions the safety
of the ivory tower in which you
live. The fact is You do not live
in an ivory tower, and to assume
that you do is as absurd as the
accusations being directed to-
ward our department.

I find it very one-sided that you
failed to mention the numerous
times that officer's are distracted
from their duties to unlock doors
because students do not deem it
necessary or convenient to keep
up with their key. or to assist
students from building to building
in search of something misplaced.
Nor did you mention the countless
times we serve as guides for the
pizza delivery person, or the time
spent closing doors because
students feel that because of the
cost of their tuition, it is not their
responsibility to make sure that
doors are secured when entering
or exiting. It would certainly be a
waste of effort if I do not also bring
to your attention the hours used
in issuing citations for illegally and
improperly parked vehicles, and
the calling and tracking down of
people because they failed to
register their vehicle, or they did

not insist that their guest adhere
to the regulations of this campus.
Not only did you fail to mention in
your article these few points, you
also failed to say that when I
scheduled a group discussion in
November about Assault Preven-
tion and Awareness, less than ten
students attended; and during the
meeting about the attack of one
of our students, when Dean
Hudson extended the opportunity
to leave to those who wished to,
the majority of the assembled
students responded.

The Agnes Scott Police Officers
have been attacked repeatedly in
regards to their accuracy and
efficiency, and very little has been
said about the students' responsi-
bility for their own awareness. It
is my feeling in response to that
article and other accusations
made toward us that when the
individual student acknowledges
her responsibility and moral
duties to this campus, then can
she be in a postion to question
the integrity of these officers.
Sincerely.

Annette Polote-Childs
Campus Police Officer

Campus Police
Informs Students

Dear Students:

The following information per-
tains to the number of criminal
incidents that have occurred on
the A.S.C. campus between
August. 1986 and February. 1987.
There were a total of 30 incidents.

Of the 30 criminal incidents, 15
(50%) were "Theft by Takings,"
with six from student dorm rooms,
three from student autos. one
from an employees auto, four
from campus property (3 D.O.S.
and 1 Science Hall), and one from
a campus contractor. Two of the
incidents involving student dorm
rooms were solved as the result
of the arrest of a contracted
employee in October. 1986. Two
of the auto thefts occurred in the
Winship/Dining Hall lot, and two
occurred in the Candler lot. The
D.O.S. thefts involved a televi-
sion, a microwave and a VCR. A
wall clock was taken from the
Science Hall. The campus con-
tractors loss involved equipment
at the track and field construction
site.

There were five burglaries. All
were from Epicure Food Service.
An arrest of a "former" dining hall
employee on February 18 for one

incident is believed to be con-
nected with the previous four.

Three autos have been stolen.
Two of the incidents involved the
same A.S.C. admissions vehicle,
which was stolen twice from the
Physical Plant gravel lot. The
vehicle was recovered. The third
theft involved a student's vehicle
in the Hopkins lot, and it remains
unrecovered.

Three autos were "entered."
These incidents took place in the
Candler lot, the Hopkins lot and
the Presser lot.

There was one Criminal Dam-
age to Property (2nd degree)
involving a student's vehicle at the
Winship lot. The car's windshield
was broken.

A "public drunk" was arrested
for loud and boisterous behavior
on campus property in December,
1986, and there was one report of
"public indecency" from a student
who was flashed by a white male
in Buttrick Hall in November of
1986.

Recently, there was a "rape" of
a non-residential student which
occurred on February 17, 1987,
but it was not reported until the
following afternoon. This incident
remains "open" and under investi-
gation.
Sincerely,
W.J. Korth

Director of Public Safety

The above report was compiled
due to a request made by The
Profile.

Campaigning
Proposed

Dear Editor:

On March 4, I attended the
student speeches of candidates
running for SGA, Honor Court
and Interdorm presidential seats.
I was very disappointed at the
number of students, faculty and
administration who attended this
event. As I sat and listened to the
speeches of the candidates, I
realized that while I was familar
with some of the issues my fellow
students were speaking about, I
wished that I had an opportunity
to hear more extensively of the
opinions of these candidates. I
also began to wonder what many
of the candidates running for other
offices felt about these or other
issues on our campus.

I have given these two points
(lack of attendance at the
speeches and my desire for a

more extensive discussion of
campus issues) a lot of thought.
One question continues to come
up in my mind: Why is it that we
allow no campaigning on our
campus, and no speeches for
those other than the presidents of
major organizations? I feel that if
we encouraged people to cam-
paign for the offices they were
running for, we might inspire more
excitement about campus organi-
zations and elections. The extra
effort involved in campaigning
might also discourage those
people not willing to work hard. If
we reorganized the system so
that more candidates were able
-to give speeches or publish their
platforms in The Profile, candi-
dates would have to think more
extensively as to why they were
unning. This type of dialogue
during elections could also inspire
more creative solutions to campus
issues. Perhaps if more people
spoke and campaigned, more
students would vote and attend
election events, which would lead
to more represenative student
organizations.

Some people feel that if Agnes
Scott encouraged campaigning,
elections might become a "popu-
larity contest." I feel thai if we stick
to our present system, we are
more likely to have people elected
on the basis of popularity than if
we allow campaigning. Obviously,
a student can take the initiative to
seek out the candidates running
for offices, discuss issues and
qualifications with them, and
make their choice on election day.
However, I think many people vote
on the basis of name recognition
only, and this verges on a so
called "popularity contest." I also
often think of how difficult it might
be for a transfer student, who
does not yet have a large network
of acquaintances at ASC, to get
elected to an organization on our
campus.

I do not wish to criticize any of
the students who recently ran for
office; I know many of them took
it upon themselves to discuss
campus issues with their class-
mates. However, I feel that to
allow campaigning, and a system
of elections which required more
students to give speeches and
publish platforms, would increase
student participation, activism
and excitement in SGA and other
campus organizations.
Respectfully,
Sarah Napier

Juniors Show Off Talents

by Julie Huffaker

An astounding display of pure
talent was seen at the Junior
Jaunt on February 26th. For a
mere one dollar donation, each
member of the audience had the
opportunity to view many meant-
to-be-hilarious, meant-to-be-
serious, and meant-to-be-
talented acts.

The show started off with Adele
Clements and Claire Guitton as
the Blues Brothers, dancing their
way up and down the stage, lip
syncing, and wiggling on the floor.
The Blues Brothers were the
perfect entrance to the Junior
Jaunt. After viewing them, who
could possibly want to miss the
rest of the show?

The rest of the evening was as
enjoyable as the first act. Our
dancing delights came from the
"unknown dancer" (???), the
ballet dancer (Amy Knox), the
Tom Cruise dancer (Chief Korth
zipping across stage), and the
dancing hookers (Stevie Bar-

kholz, Kathie White and Lynn Wil-
son.)

Amy Lovell produced a fantas-
tic rendition of the Three Little
Bears by whistling the entire fairy
tale. Surprisingly, it was very easy
to follow, and her range is excel-
lent. Jeanie Norton did a wonder-
ful soliloquy about the rodeo. Two
unknown participants did an
adorable Monty Python scene
that took place in a pet shop. It
was about a poor dead parrot, or
is it just asleep?

Jennifer Spurlin, Julie Blewer,
Julie Walls, and Ms. McKemie
sang "Someday My Prince Will
Come." Then Jennifer, Julie and
Julie sang "School Days" while
Ms. McKemie slap danced a little
man on a board, which broke, but
that just added to the general
laughter and fun. Amy Knox,
Missy Robinson, and Kim Maleski
did their own rendition of "You
Gotta Fight (For Your Right to
Party)" by the Beastie Boys for
their friends on second Rebekah.

Sarah Copenhaver played the
piano and sang a beautiful song
that she had written herself.

Elections Board Supervisers
Presidential Debate

by Skotti Ray

On Monday, March 2, the
Elections Board sponsored a
debate between the candidates
for the presidential offices of SGA,
Honor Court and Interdorm. About
30 students listened as each
candidate was questioned on her
views and new ideas as they
pertained to each office.

The candidates for the pres-
idencies for the three top offices

at Agnes Scott were: SGA: Sarah
Copenhaver and Kathy White;
Honor Court: Stevie Barkholz and
Krista Lankford; and Interdorm:
Christy Noland and Debbie Wilson.

Each candidate answered
three questions on issues ranging
from parietals to take home tests.
The recurrent theme of the forum
was a need for more campus
unity. All of the candidates
stressed the importance of greater
communication and understand-
ing between the three offices to
facilitate campus solidarity

Honor Court Throws Part}'

by Kimberly Baker

Thursday, February 26. at 8:00
p.m.. Honor Court showed the
campus another side of them-
selves They threw a party for the
campus to help alleviate the
winter blahs.

The members were busy
throughout the week baking
cookies and brownies in their

dorms (much to the surprise of
their fellow residents). Hot choco-
late rounded out the menu for the
festivities. Good conversation
with fellow students com-
plemented the affair as students
came in to take a study break or
pick up snacks for The Cosby
Show.

The Honor Court members
have since decided to retire from
party-throwing for awhile and
leave that honor to Social Council'

Angela Speir sang "Out Here on
My Own" for her parents, while
Stevie Barkholtz accompanied
her on the piano. Finally, second
Rebekah sang their own rendition
of "Hotel California" by the Eagles,
which they called "Second Rebe-
kah." (Wonder where they came
up with that title?)

The climax of the show was the
hit "Dating Game" starring Krista
Lankford as the hostess, and
Sally Mairs and Amy Gottsche as
the two "lucky women" who were
choosing dates. The dates, of
course, came from the faculty and
staff. One pair of "lucky" couples
was escourted off in the Physical
Plant truck to the Heart of Decatur
Motel where a bottle of Dom
Perignon . . . Cold Duck was wait-
ing for them, iced down in the
toilet!

All in all, there was not a bad
act in the whole talent show. If you
weren't participating in the talent
show and if you missed donating
your dollar to see Agnes Scott's
funniest show, you really missed
a lot.

Young Democrats Reconvene

by Lisa Gugino

The Young Democrats are
rejuvenating their forces by com-
ing together for such activities as
the House Democratic Caucus'
reception-dinner on Monday,
March 2nd. In an attempt to
revitalize the senior party's youth-
ful support, Speaker of the House
Tom Murphy has undergone a
campaign to include the Young
Democrats of Georgia in many of
the party's activities. Monday
night's dinner and entertainment
was the first step towards a new
showing by a strengthened and
much younger Democratic Party.

Several Agnes Scott Young
Democrats attended this function

and thoroughly enjoyed the buffet-
style dinner and local country
band. Tom Murphy, not wanting to
be upstaged by the band, gave
the crowd an unexpected surprise
when he got up and sang "Your
Cheatin' Heart." Jack Connell and
Bubba McDonald also joined in
the fun by singing their country
favorites for an approving crowd.

As the senior members of the
party took the dance floor,
younger members milled about
on the sidelines, honing their
political skills by networking with
Democrats from around the state.
The main topic of conversation
among the Young Democrats was
their upcoming State Convention
on April 11th in Jekyll Island. Plans
were made about campaign

strategies, and hands were shook
by possible candidates in prepara-
tion for the Convention's activities.
Of course, not easily forgotten is
the larger event that every Demo-
crat dreams of, the National
Democratic Convention.

It seems plausible to assume
that the newly enacted plan to
revitalize the YD.s is linked to this
momentous occasion. The con-
vention will undoubtedly require
an army of dedicated and faithful
party supporters to successfully
plan and organize such an event.
The Agnes Scott chapter, with its
attendance Monday night, hopes
to send a message to the party
officials that it is ready and willing
to support the Democratic Party
in its upcoming endeavors.

Sam Nunn Speaks to College Journalists

by Julie Hartline

On Saturday, February 21,
Senator Sam Nunn spoke at the
Georgia College Press Associa-
tion's annual convention in
Athens, Georgia. Senator Nunn
shared a few opening statements
with the attending journalists,
after which he opened the floor
for questions.

After apologizing for not having
a prepared text, Senator Nunn
stressed the importance of the
ability to write well. He called this
ability "one of the greatest attri-
butes in all fields, not only
journalism." "Writing is becoming
a lost art." exclaimed Nunn. He
attributed this loss to the popular-
ity of television. Our society has
turned to the television; therefore,
grammar, vocabulary, and writing
techniques need added emphasis
in society.

Nunn went on to discuss the
progression of reporting since he
has been in office. He arrived in

the midst of Watergate when
investigative reporting was popu-
lar. Reporters dissected state-
ments to uncover their true
meaning. The next mode was
judging a public figure by his or
her statements. Nunn gave the
example of President Carter's
statement that he would "never lie
to or mislead" people. This state-
ment became the criteria by which
Carter was judged.

Nunn felt that present day
reporters overlook the faults of
public figures. He said that the
public has overlooked the numer-
ous errors and misstatements of
President Reagan because they
want a successful president so
badly. As a result of not holding
public administration accountable
for their words, "people at high
levels started misleading one
another." Nunn stated that the
government cannot work unless
there is "accountability and a set
atmosphere where words mean
something."

Nunn was then questioned
about various political issues and

his stances on various topics.
When Nunn was asked about the
similarities between the Iran
Crisis and Watergate, he said that
there is not much similarity He
expressed that Reagan's biggest
problem is that respect for him
has decreased internationally.
Respect for Nixon was un-
changed internationally because
the scandal did not deal with
foreign policy.

In his final statements, Nunn
said that he was not in favor of
terminating the draft. He sup-
ported a National Service pro-
gram in which every young person
would have an incentive to get a
job in some form of service to
their country

CAREER
CORNER

by Adriane Creety

Plan to attend the Career
Forum on March 26th which will
be hosting a variety of employers
from all over the country as well
as from the Atlanta area. Don't
pass up this unique opportunity to
speak informally with these em-
ployer representatives and find
out more about their companies,
the representatives jobs, other
jobs within their organizations,
what qualifications are necessary
for those jobs, what courses
should be taken if a certain job is
of interest, and different ways to
use a degree after graduation.
Stop by Rebekah reception- room
between 1:30-4:00 to talk with
employer representatives and
pick up literature about fields of
interest. Student registration is at
l:00 p.m. in Rebekah lobby. There
is also a reception sponsored by
Coca-Cola USA specially de-
signed for faculty chairs, seniors
and employer representatives at
4 p.m. in Rebekah Lobby. Be sure
to mark your calendars now for
the afternoon of March 26th.

CP&P looks forward to seeing
many students there.

There is a special program for
juniors interested in preparing an
effective resume before plunging
into their senior years. CP&P will
be holding a Junior Resume Clinic
on Wednesday, April 1 from 6-7:30
p.m. All interested juniors are
invited to attend.

There is good news for Agnes
Scott students. According to a
recent Cam Report, a liberal arts
education is the most practical
and beneficial college curriculum
that one can choose. What is
crucial for advancement in the
workforce is not specialized
training but the ability to think and
reason critically and to judge
wisely. Because it is difficult to
predict precisely what skills will
be in demand five or ten years
from now, the "best career prepa-
ration is one that emphasizes
general understanding and intel-
lectual curiosity: a knowledge of
how to learn and the desire to do
it." Literature, history philosophy
and the social sciences subjects
that are emphasized through
Agnes Scott's liberal arts cur-
riculumare the subjects be-
lieved to develop such critical
thinking and the ability to adapt to
new situations and demands.

The Career Planning and Place-
ment office would like to wish
everyone a relaxing, enjoyable
and safe spring vacation'

Strategies for Rape Prevention

by Phyllis Heaton

On February 23, the Rape
Crisis Center at Grady Hospital
sponsored a Rape Prevention
Seminar. Only 10 people were
present to hear the discussion.

The following information was
taken from a brochure by the
Atlanta Coalition Against Rape
which was distributed at the
meeting.

FACTS:! If you are female, the
chances are about 1 in 7 that you
will be raped. 2. Locally approxi-
mately 25% of all rapes are
committed against females under
15 years old. 3. About 50% of all
rapes occur in the victim's home.
4. In about 60% of all rapes the
victim has had some knowledge
of the rapist. 5. The majority of
rapes are planned in advance by
the rapist. 6. Three out of five
rapists are married men who lead
normal sex lives. 7. If you report
a rape to the police, you do not
have to prosecute. 8. Men commit
rape in order to control and
humiliate. ..not out of sexual
desire. 9. Rape is the universal
crime against women. 10. Rapists
normally attack women of their
own race (83% of all rapes are
within the same race). 11 Rape

Scholars Visit Campus for Weekend

by Elizabeth Buck

If you happened to go to dinner
on Friday. February 20. you would
have seen a strange sight - the
dining hall was packed. The fact
that the White Animals were
warming up in the gym had little
to do with it. It was Scholars
Weekend, an annual event that
draws high school seniors from
around the country to compete for
academic scholarships to Agnes
Scott. This year 130 young
women attended classes, ate in
the dining hall, and slept in the
dorms as they looked closely at

Agnes Scott, and Agnes Scott
looked closely at them.

The weekend officially began
Thursday as many arrived to
attend orientation meetings to
answer their questions about
college life. That evening a dinner
was served in Rebekah Recep-
tion Room for all prospective
students, admission staff, invited
administration, faculty, staff, and
student members of the interview-
ing committees. Heidi Hitchcock,
Julie McConriell, Anna McCormick,
and Gwen Haug provided enter-
tainment with several musical
arrangements for the flute.

Friday was a busy day for these
prospectives as they attended

classes and met with professors
to discuss academic departments
and possible majors. From 1 to 5
p.m. on Friday afternoon and 8:30
to 1 :30 on Saturday, the interview-
ing committees met with the
scholarship candidates. Each
committee had six members: two
students, three faculty members,
and one admissions representa-
tive. Each committee interviewed
approximately 22 high school
seniors. The committees looked
for academic interest, diversifica-
tion, and a concern for others,
with an emphasis on the whole
person. Those on the interviewing
committees enjoyed working with
other faculty and staff .

Sullivan Discusses Classic Poetry

by Angela Howard

Dr. John Sullivan spoke on
Tuesday night, February 24 at 8
p.m. Dr. Sullivan is professor of
classics at the University of
California at Santa Barbara. His
lecture was titled "The Death of
the Roman Elegy" and dealt with
the exile of Ovid, the last Roman
poet to use that form.

Dr. Sullivan began by quoting
from various Roman poets on the
status of the elegy before and
after Ovid's death. He also dis-
cussed how the elegy's form
permitted long passages of con-
templation on political matters of
the day.

Ovid's political views, however,
did not bring about his exile. His
Ars Amatorica (art of love) con-
tained sections on love that

Augustus Caesar, who was at-
tempting to instill the morals of an
older Rome, could not accept.

Dr. Sullivan brilliantly defended
Ovid and made a case for the
ignorance of Augustus' censor-
ship. Obviously, the topic of Dr.
Sullivan's lecture parallels current
political problems, a fascinating
fact to the classics students and
professors who attended from
both Agnes Scott and Emory.

victims should take advantage of
the medical, legal support and
counseling services provided by
the Rape Crisis Center, even if
they do not report the crime to the
police.

ON THE STREET: -An attacker
expects a passive victim, so if you
walk slowly or in a daze, you will
seem vulnerable to a potential
rapist. Walk at a steady pace,
appear confident and purposeful.

-Be alert to what's around you.
Listen for footsteps and voices
nearby Look around to see if you
are being followed.

-If you think you are being
followed, change your pace. If the
person changes his pace to
coincide with yours, cross the
street, get to lighted areas, draw
attention to yourself and seek
help.

-When being followed by a
vehicle, quickly turn around and
walk in the opposite direction. The
car will have to turn around, which
will put it on the opposite side of
the street. Keep more than an
arms distance from vehicles, even
if they are asking directions.

-Do not take short cuts through

alleys or parking lots. Whenever
possible appear to be with a group
of people, such as when waiting
for a bus.

-Never get into a stranger's
vehicle, even if your car breaks
down and someone offers to give
you a ride to seek help. Ask him
to seek help while you remain in
your locked vehicle.

-If being forced to enter a
vehicle on a city street, remember
that your chances of getting help
are better there than in a deserted
area where the rapist may plan to
take you.

IN YOUR CAR: -Always keep car
doors locked.

-Have your keys out and ready
to slip into the door when you are
approaching your parked vehicle.
Be alert to anyone under, in or
nearby the vehicle who may
attack you.

Remember the element of
surprise is often the best defense,
if attacked. Many attackers are
caught off guard by a victim who
fights back and runs. Never try to
subdue your attacker. Fight only
enough to get away.

Mardi Gras Fete at ASC

by Gretchen Pfeifer

On Friday night, February 27,
the Rebekah Reception Room
was the scene of the 2nd annual
Mardi Gras Party. The party,
sponsored by the German Club,
was attended by international and
American students from local
universities including Emory,
Georgia State, Oglethorpe, and
Georgia Tech, as well as people
from the Atlanta area. Even some
professors and their families
attended this festive occasion,
despite the pouring rain. There
were men and women from coun-
tries all over the world, including
Indonesia, Turkey, France, Ger-
many, Finland, Switzerland, Latin
America, and Portugal.

In the reception room, the floors
were bedecked with balloons and
confetti, and streamers were
hanging from the light fixtures.
The German Alpine Band enter-
tained the guests with polkas,

German and French festive dance
songs, and an occasional Ger-
man "Prosit" to toast the evening.
During the band breaks. Latin
music was played, adding an
exira international flair to the
evening. The buffet consisted of
German and French traditional
food and drink including
Weisswurst, an assortment of
cheeses, baguettes, and of
course, what's a German and
French party without beer and
wine?

All in all, the guests seemed to
enjoy themselves despite four fire
alarms triggered by faulty lines.
The party came to a close with
the costume judging. Tied for first
place in the best native costume
category were Amna Jaffer and
Noriko Suzuki; second place went
to Anna Lena Neld, dressed in a
homemade Spanish costume.

The German Club would like to
thank all those who participated
in and supported the International
Mardi Gras Party making it an
unforgettable success.

Soviet-American Relations: Will We Negotiate?

by Lisa Gugino

In an interesting twist of events,
the Soviet Union has begun a
campaign of liberalization. Gen-
eral Secretary Gorbachev has
publicized and publicized again
the changes that his country has
embarked upon in what many
think is a sincere attempt by a
world leader to genuinely promote
negotiations. There is little doubt
about the magnitude of progres-
sive policy that is spilling forth
from the Kremlin. Not since the
Khruschev destalinization cam-
paign, has the world seen such a
shake up in the activities of the
Soviet Union's Party leadership.
Dissidents are being allowed to
go free; Soviet newspapers are
being allowed to publish limited
criticism: formulas for reductions
of European nuclear weapons
have been offered; even SDI has
been dropped as a stipulation
preventing negotiations. The
Soviets can now proudly point to
a year and a half long unilateral
moratorium on nuclear explo-
sions, a claim that the Unitea
States cannot make. Clearly,
these Soviet policies raise ques-
tions for the conscientious Ameri-
can citizen; however, for Yuri V.
Dubinin, Soviet Ambassador to
the United States, they have
become overwhelming evidence
of the Soviet Union's willingness
to negotiate.

In a Parade newspaper article
entitled. "We're Willing to
Negotiate.'' Ambassador Dubinin
begins with a nononsense intro-
duction on the historically volatile
topic of arms control. He writes.
"I would like, first of all. to discuss
what is undoubtedly the key issue
in Soviet-American relations. It
affects each of us. regardless of
our political views, social standing
or religious beliefs. It is an issue
of security and survival, an issue
where decisions must be made in
1987. shaping the future for many
years to come. The issue, of
course, is arms control." (March
1, 1987. p. 4) In response to this

article: Agnes Scott students
were asked two rather involved
questions.

The first question asked of
students was. "Do you think, in
light of the Soviets numerous
liberalization policies, that the
Soviets are sincere in their mes-
sage of change and their willing-
ness to negotiate an arms deal?"
Secondly, "Do you also think, in
light of Reagan's tarnished image,
that he might grasp the opportu-
nity during his last year in office
to make a viable arms deal with
the Soviets?" Because the ques-
tions and answers were rather
lengthy, only one student from
each class was asked to respond.
The answers are intriguing and
diverse, together they reflect a
sample of the many student
opinions on these complex issues.

Freshman Teresa Ramirez re-
sponded to the first question by
saying, "I'm rather skeptical; even
though they're (the Soviets) taking
definite steps in Soviet-American
relations, we are all too stubborn
to do anything. I'll probably remain
skeptical until I see further action."
Regarding the second question,
she said, "Yes, I think Reagan will
take the opportunity to negotiate
an arms deal. He's looking pretty
bad right now. and I think he
needs to make a deal with the
Soviets in order to save what's left
of his image."

Sophomore Daphne Burt was
optimistic when answering the
first question. "Yes, I think the
Soviets are sincere, and even if
they're not, they're worth listening
to. What have we got to loose?
Gorbachev seems to have a good
head on his shoulders. After all.
he is a human being, and I don't
think he'd risk our well-being any
more than he'd risk his own
country's well-being. I've tried to
come up with an ulterior motive,
but I can't seem to come up with
anything." Daphne's second re-
sponse was also upbeat, "Assum-
ing that there are diplomatic
negotiations going on between
our country and theirs, there is a
good chance of an arms deal. If

Reagan is smart he'll do some-
thing decisive."

Junior Amy Gottsche agreed
with Daphne, saying. "Yes. I do
think there is an element of
sincerity in the numerous Soviet
liberalizations and proposals. I
believe that Gorbachev is trying
to realize the demands of the
Russian consumer before dis-
satisfaction with the current
standard of living increases any
more. One argument is that
Gorbachev is proposing arms
limitations in order to redistribute
the money currently spent on
defense toward the production of
consumer goods. This is a viable
explanation to me." However, Amy
was* not so optimistic regarding
the second question, "No, I
seriously doubt Reagan's agenda
for 1987-88 includes restructuring

the Foreign Policy goals of his
administration. Deterrence and
SDI policies are not likely to allow
extensive 'concessions' to the
Soviet Union in the military arena,
nor are they likely to change until
a more liberal administration
comes to power in the United
States."

Senior Anne Sophy took a
slightly different attitude than the
others. She said. "My first reaction
to Soviet liberalization policies is
one of suspicion; and as much as
I hate to say it. I feel the Soviet's
offer is to good to be true. I would
hope any Soviet-American negoti-
ations would be carried out with
extreme caution." Although cau-
tious. Anne was confident that the
President would negotiate and
strike an arms deal. She said,
"The President will most definitely

take this opportunity, due to the
fact that he has contradicted
himself so many times throughout
this Iran-Contra affair and virtually
painted himself into a corner. He
has lost 'face' with the American
people, therefore. I believe in
order to regain status and trust
from the U.S. populace, he will
seize any opportunity to negotiate
an agreement on an issue as
important as the arms race."

The unraveling of Soviet-
American relations is an interest-
ing process. The Agnes Scott
student should take notice in this
time of great change, for it will be
fascinating to see if the United
States will heed Ambassador
Dubinin's challenge to our country.
In the meantime, the question
remains, are we willing to
negotiate?

One of the newest members of
our Agnes Scott community is
Ada Aleman. assistant instructor
in Spanish. She received her
Masters from Georgia State in
1981 and has been teaching there
for the past five years. Currently,
she is working on her Ph.D. at
Emory University. She plans to
write her dissertation on Latin
American Literature.

A native of Havana. Cuba, Ada
moved to the United States when
she was eight years old. The first
move was to Miami. Florida,
where she found it very difficult in
school because she had not
learned the English language yet
and none of her teachers were
bilingual. In 1965. her family
decided to move to Atlanta to be
near other relatives. She enjoyed
being in Atlanta much more than
Miami because English and
Spanish were separated,
whereas in Miami the people
tended to "mix [the languages]
together" She still speaks
Spanish with her parents.

After high school graduation,
she went to New York City for
several months stay, as she was
fascinated by the city. Always
drawn to Atlanta, however, she

returned and started working on
her degree. For a short while, she
worked with the IRS as an "in-
terpretive counselor" for non-
English speaking clients. She
soon realized that teaching was
her main goal and set out to get
her Master's.

When asked what first brought
her to Agnes Scott, Ada replied,
"the bus. of course." Actually, she
taught here as an assistant in
1982 and found the atmosphere
very enjoyable and the faculty
easy to get along with. In compari-
son with Emory and Georgia
State, she enjoys the smaller
classes and the pretty campus,
although she says. "I do miss the
men sometimes." She especially
enjoys walking around the cam-
pus, thinking it is like a small town,
and hates leaving it to face the
"cruel world."

Ada also speaks French, and
she has a reading knowledge of
German and Italian. She enjoys
studying other languages for the

different perspective it gives her
of her own language, "unless you
jumble all the perspectives up into
a big mess!"

Ada's hobbies include working
in her rose garden (although she
doesn't promise her students
one), photography, and traveling
throughout the United States to
visit relatives. She went with the
ASC group to Mexico last sum-
mer, and in spite of being sick
from the food, she had a wonder-
ful experience. She claims it was
most interesting to see the dis-
coveries and reactions of the ASC
students to the different culture,
as she herself has grown up with
"Spanish eyes." Ada will be
traveling with and teaching the
ASC group this summer in Spain,
along with Dr. Constance Shaw.

Ada plans to continue to teach
after receiving her Ph.D. She also
hopes to return to Cuba some day
to visit her home. Currently, she
is living with her parents in what
she refers to as "Taco" Hills.

PEAIURES

Philosophers Attend Conference

by Sarah Napier

On the weekend of February
20-21, when most Agnes Scott
students were at the library or
partying their two favorite days of
the week away, eight Agnes Scott
students participated in the South-
eastern Undergraduate Philoso-
phy Conference at Vanderbilt
University in Nashville, Tennesee.
Undergraduate students from
eight different schools, including
Emory, Morehouse, and Georgia
State, attended the conference.
Students gave fifteen presenta-
tions at the conference; five of
these were given by Agnes Scott
students. The students who
attended were: Kathleen V.
MacMillan. Sarah Garland. Kathy
McKee. Melanie A. Sherk, Anita
Irani, Shirley Brooks, Johna
Wardman, and Gretchen Pfeifer.
All of the students who commented
on the conference had interesting
reflections on the experience.

Katie MacMillan was the first
student speaker on Saturday.
Katie's paper was entitled "Kirken-
gard and the Unhappiest Man."
Katie commented on the experi-
ence. "It was an excellent opportu-
nity. Some of the papers were
quite interesting. There was an
interesting difference in the
philosophy majors from school to
school. I was particularly im-
pressed with the Morehouse
students."

The next Agnes Scott student
to take the podium was Sarah

Garland, who spoke on "Com-
misurotomy and the Concept of a
Person." Sarah's paper dealt with
the complex consequences of a
hypothetical surgery which would
involve putting one brain into two
people's bodies. When asked if
the conference was a good experi-
ence, Sarah responded, "Yes,
because it was very interesting to
hear people respond to my ideas."

On Saturday afternoon, partici-
pants heard from Kathy McKee.
Her presentation was entitled
'"Wittgenstein On Understanding."
Kathy described her paper as "an
overview of Ludwig Wittgenstein's
main philosophical tenets with an
emphasis on his explanation of
the process of understanding,
which appears in the Philosophi-
cal Investigations. Reflecting on
her experience at the conference,
Kathy said, "This was the second
year I attended the conference.
There was greater diversity in the
participants and in the schools
represented than last year. My
experience at the conference was
definitely character building at
times I felt like I was having trouble
'understanding' what my paper
was about."

Melanie Sherk also spoke at
the conference. Her paper was
entitled "Humanity's Obligation to
Nature: One of the Moral Implica-
tions of Genetic Engineering."
Melanie discussed "whether or
not human beings have a debt to
keep nature sacred by not manip-
ulating it." Melanie also found the
conference an interesting experi-

ence. She reflected on the
weekend saying. "Many papers
on diverse topics were presented.
The hardest thing was fielding
questions after reading my paper.
A few professors decided that they
should try to sufficiently confuse
the undergraduate (i.e. me), and
they did a good job at it. Other
than being asked unanswerable
questions, especially in 25 words
or less, it wasn't too bad at all."

Anita Irani was the last Agnes
Scott student to speak. Anita's
presentation was entitled "The
concept of the will in Kierkegaar-
dian Terms."

Three other Agnes Scott
philosophy majors, Shirley
Brooks. Gretchen Pfeifer. and
Johna Wardman. also partici-
pated in the conference. When
asked if it was a good experience
to attend the conference, Shirley
Brooks responded with a concise.
"Yes."

Agnes Scott has attended the
Southeastern Undergraduate
Conference for over thirty years.
Other schools which regularly
participate in the conference are
Morehouse. Vanderbilt. Emory,
Davidson, and the University of
Tennesee at Chattanooga. Dr.
Parry. Chair of the Philosophy
Department, has attended the
conference with Agnes Scott
students in previous years. He
was not able to accompany the
students this year, but he Offered
some comments about the confer-
ence. Dr. Parry said. "The confer-
ence is a very good opportunity to
see how philosophy is taught and

Students Anita Irani and kath\ McKee were among the eight students who
spoke at the Southeastern I ndergraduate PJulosophj Conference.

approached at these universities."

Dr. Elfstrom, Assistant Profes-
sor of Philosophy, attended the
conference with the students this

year. Dr. Elfstrom talked about the
benefits of such a conference for
students, "It is a very valuable
kind of experience for them." He
emphasized that the conference
is similar to many professional
conferences in philosophy and
that it is unique in that it is aimed
at undergraduates. Dr. Elfstrom
spoke about the benefits for any
student participating in a program
such as the Southeastern Confer-
ence saying. "It is important for
any educated person to present
something in public and respond
to questions."

Dr. Elfstrom was pleased with
Agnes Scott's participation in the
Philosophy Conference this year.
He commented. "There were
many more Agnes Scott students
reading papers than from any
other school." We should feel
especially good about Agnes
Scott's participation this year
since most of the other schools
attending have bigger philosophy
departments than Agnes Scott.
Congratulations to the students
that attended and spoke at the
conference and to the philosophy
department. Agnes Scott should
be pleased that students and
faculty were so well represented
at this Undergraduate Philosophy
Conference.

ASC Seniors Student Teach at Local Schools

by Julie Huffaker

For the past three and a half
years, ten Agnes Scott students
have been training for one of the
most grueling jobs known to
(wo)mankind, teaching. Low pay
and long hours are usually what
face teachers now. The amount of
time that they spend organizing
and preparing for each day is
incredible. Even as student
teachers, they spend a great deal
of time after school hours prepar-
ing for the next day. The student
teachers also have class (cur-
riculum lab) for two hours a week

to supplement their classroom
work.

Not only have these ten stu-
dents majored in the topic of their
choice, but they have also had to
take a variety of education
courses to prepare them for this
final semester of student teaching
and the rest of their careers.

Jeannie Chilcutt. Jacqueline
Stromberg. and Robin Treadway
have decided to teach in the
elementary level. Jeannie is
teaching third grade at Winnona
Park. Robin teaches a second
and third grade combined class at
Oakhurst Elementary School.

graduated a couple of years ago.
and she is now back to receive
her certification. Laura is teaching
Biology to the high school stu-
dents, and Dawn is teaching
Math. Diane. Wendy, and Julie
teach History.

Dr. Ammons says that not only
are they evaluated and observed
while student teaching, but they
also have to take a "dry run" test,
of the TPAI, Teacher Performance
Assessment Instrument. All
teachers in. Georgia have to pass
this test to be certified. This year,
the student teachers are just
taking the test for practice. Next
year, however, they will have to
pass the test to become certified
as teachers in the state of Geor-
| gia. The TPAI tests cover class-
| room management, arrangement,

| Dr. Ammons also observes
i each student teacher in the
I classroom and evaluates her
I performance. Although she has
only seen the elementary school
teachers so far, she said. "They're

smile.

Employment looks good for our
future educators. Two principals
in Gwinnet County have already
made inquiries about the elemen-
tary school teachers. One of the
principals is an alumnae of 1973,
and the other taught here before
moving on to Gwinnet County.

Julie Walls feels that her experi-
ence has taught her a new
vocabulary. Jeannie Chilcutt says
of student teaching, "It's shown
me where I need to work." Louise
Bailey summed it up when she
said, "It's fun. exhausting,
exhilarating, and frustrating."

ASC Welcomes New Counselor

by Anne Sophy

Have you ever felt that you
have no one to talk to? Do you
find yourself feeling as if you are
becoming a burden to your friends
when you want advice and guid-
ance 9 Times are stressful at
Agnes Scott, and everyone, at
one time or another, goes through
these periods of emotional ten-
sion. Now you may ask yourself,
"What can I do about it?" The
answer: Make an appointment
with Agnes Scott's counselor
Margaret Shirley. Margaret en-
courages not only students but
the entire campus community to
make an appointment with her if
they are in need of advice,
guidance, or someone to listen to
them. It should be emphasized
and understood that everything is
held in strictest confidence.

Margaret firmly believes that
"counseling is for healthy people,
and it is a sign of good health to
seek counseling. To make that
decision is to strive toward solving
your problems."

A personal experience with
family counseling showed Mar-
garet "how psychology and coun-
seling work for families." With this
newfound interest in psychology
and counseling, she enrolled at
Agnes Scott as a member of the
first group of RTC's on this
campus, and she majored in
psychology. Upon her 1981 gradu-
ation from Scott, she entered an
Experimental Psychology pro-
gram at Georgia Tech for one year
and came to the decision that
family counseling was the field
she wanted to pursue. She then
completed a Master's degree in
Psychological Counseling at
Georgia State.

To Margaret, counseling at

Agnes Scott is a dream come
true. The dream began as a goal
that she pursued because she
knew there was not a counselor
on campus, and there was (and
still is) a definite need for one. It
is obvious by the gleam in her
eyes when she speaks of the
students just how much she loves
working with them, and this love
contributed to her desire to return
to Scott. She feels that Agnes
Scott gave her so much, and she
wants to give something back to
Scott and hopes to accomplish
this through counseling. Her goal
for this position is "to provide a
safe environment to talk and to
grow and to learn about yourself."
Margaret wants to provide a place
for emotional growth and develop-
ment and to give the campus an
opportunity to experience that
growth in addition to their intellec-
tual growth.

Margaret sees many people for

Counselor Margarel Shirley.

stress-related incidents, time-
management, study skills, and
relationships as well as depres-
sion and anxiety. Again, she
emphasizes that any appoint-
ments are regarded with utmost
confidence. To make an appoint-

CP&P Creates Leadership Education Program

by Julie Hartline

There is good news for those
students with an ambitious streak.
Agnes Scott's Career Planning
and Placement office is establish-
ing a Leadership Education pro-
gram. The committee, headed by
Amy Schmidt and Karen Greene,
is interested in making students
more aware of their abilities to
become leaders. The program is
officially scheduled to begin in the
Fall of 1987. but there are some
opportunities open to students for
summer programs.

The Washington Center is
offering a symposium. Women As

Leaders, that is available to Agnes
Scott Students. The symposium
is being held from May 17 to May
30 in Washington D.C. The pro-
gram includes lectures, work-
shops and small group discus-
sions. Various workshops are
offered on topics such as resume
writing, time management, and
relieving stress. There is also a
special session in which two days
will be spent "shadowing" a
professional woman. Students
are free on Saturdays and Sun-
days to do whatever they wish.
The Washington Center sym-
posium is designed to teach
women to be better able to adjust
to the "challenges" of the mooern
day professional. Scholarships

are being offered to a limited
number of students, and there is
a $40 nonrefundable registration
fee. The registration deadline is
March 31. but all applications
received prior to March 20 are
guaranteed. Contact CP&P for
more information and an applica-
tion form.

The second program offered to
Agnes Scott students for the
summer of 1987 is Leadership
America. This program is not
located in one area, but students
will spend ten weeks traveling to
various places in the United
States. Fifty men and women are
chosen for this program. A five-
week formal session, an in-

ternship and a graduation session
are a part of Leadership America
agenda. There is no charge to the
student or the college for this
program, except for personal
expenses. A $3000 stipend is
given to participants, though.
Applicants must be rising seniors,
and the registration deadline is
April 1. Information and applica-
tion forms may be picked up from
Dean Hudson for Leadership
America.

Amy Schmidt and Karen
Greene are excited about this new
program being established at
ASC. They would like to get
students actively involved. For
more information, contact the
CP&P office.

ASC Provides a Network of Counseling

by Gina Greely

There are extensive counseling
services available on A.S.C.'s
campus. Many students are una-
ware of the extensive network of
support available to all students.

One type of counseling people
take for granted is the physical
counseling available from the
student Health Center. Pat Murray,
Director of Student Health Ser-
vices, says, "We try to look at a
student in terms of physical
needs." Self-care and mainte-
nance of "wellness" are em-

phasized. Murray says that diet,
exercise, and stress reduction are
great concerns because they are
all closely related to the preven-
tion of illnesses. If the diet is "out
of whack," it can increase the risk
of illness. There are information
sheets on cold treatment and other
illnesses available in the Health
Center for student reference.

The center also has sexual
counseling. They hope to help
students make "decisions around
the sexuality" issue. Full
gynecological services are avail-
able by appointment. The center
offers counseling before the ap-
pointment.

Psychiatric counseling is availa-
ble on campus through Margaret
Shirley or the chaplin, Marian
Dunson, who is trained in counsel-
ing. The center can also arrange
for appointments with off campus
psychiatric groups for those who
need more than on campus
services offer.

Rape counseling is another
service available through the
Health Center. Peg Ziegler works
in the Grady Rape Crisis Center
which has some of the best

counseling in the Atlanta area.

Since November, the Health
Center has been working on
developing a network of support
and contact for students. The
group will be comprised of repre-
sentatives from the faculty, staff,
student body, RTC group, campus
police, and the Health Center. The
group wants students to know
who to contact if they have a
problem. In the spring, the group
will do a dorm to dorm education
program. The key will be aware-
ness and "good training for life."

AICT AN ID ENTERTAINMENT

Renn Gives Impressive Concert

by Phyllis Heaton

On Tuesday, February 24, the
music department of Agnes Scott
College, as part of their Faculty
Concert Series, presented Row-
ena Renn, soprano, in concert.
Miss Renn teaches voice in the
music department.

The audience for the concert
was sparse but very receptive
and enthusiastic. Not only is Miss
Renn a superb soprano, she is an
accomplished show-person. She
changes her face only slightly yet
conveys a pensive, melancholy or
happy message with each song.

Miss Renn exhibited complete
control of a range of musical

types. First, she thrilled the
audience with the high notes of
Robert Shumann's Frauenliebe
und Leben. She then moved from
the classics to entertain her
audience with The Old Maid and
the Thief. She sang the comic-
opera of a thief who uses her and
she portrays a sad and foolish old
woman. Miss Renn moved on to
sing verses written by Irish monks
between the 8th and 13th cen-
turies. Miss Renn completed the
program by singing popular songs
including Stephen Sondheim's
"Send in the Clowns." Miss Renn'
showed her ability to manage
diversity even though she was
recovering from influenza.

Although Miss Renn knows
her art, she accepted coaching

in German pronunciation by
Suszanne Hollister to bring more
authenticity to the German lyrics.
Miss Renn's conscientiousness
also extends to the students she
trains at Agnes Scott. Most of
them came to hear the master
and expressed their appreciation
after the concert.

Robin Hensley, the department
accompanist, complimented Miss
Renn. Miss Hensley anticipated
each move beautifully and en-
hanced the performance. Miss
Hensley's enthusiasm for music
was evident as she bowed with
Miss Renn when the applause
called them back three times.

Listening to Miss Renn, it was
evident what Milton meant when
he said, "Warble his native wood-
notes wild."

Dalton Galleries is hosting the Student Art Kxhibit featuring the works ol

Atlanta Ballet Will Perform Two World Premieres in April

Members of the Atlanta Ballet prepare for its April performances.

Genesis Rocks Atlanta
With Its Invisible Touch

by Michelle Moses
and Holly Parker

Better than ever, reunited
Genesis had the Omni alive and
dancing with two and a half non-
stop hours of pure flash and
pizazz on Wednesday, February
25 and Thursday, February 26.
Without an opening band,
Genesis, at 8:15, jumped into the
spotlight with a powerful rendition
of "Mama." Through the smokey
haze, the members of Genesis
slowly appeared to the shouts of
thousands of screaming fans.
Genesis was finally here the
long awaited moment had come.

Attracting an audience of all
ages and backgrounds, Genesis
played a wide variety of music
going back to 1974. They played
hits such as "That's All" and
"Home by the Sea." These were
mixed in with songs from their
latest album, Invisible Touch,
including "Tonight, Tonight, To-

night," "Domino," "Throwing It All
Away" "Land of Confusion," and
"Invisible Touch."

Phil Collins, dressed in his
typical baggy pants and loose
jacket, led the band with his
humor and overwhelming energy.
He even assisted in playing a
riveting ten minute drum duet
without missing a synchronized
beat.

Combined with the thrill of
hearing their music live, the
impact of Genesis' dramatic light
show was captivating. A new,
intricate design appeared with
every variation in the beat of each
song. Even those sitting in the
"nosebleed" sections were drawn
into the visual spectacle.

For an encore, Genesis per-
formed a series of popular songs
such as "I Can't Get No Satisfac-
tion," "Twist and Shout," and
"You've Lost That Loving Feeling."

All the time spent camping out
for Genesis tickets was worth it.
Genesis gave audiences their
money's worth.

On April 2-4 The Atlanta Ballet
will celebrate spring with two-
world premieres, Appearances,
and a Balanchine favorite. Thrill-
ing and provocative, these dances
are not to be missed.

Allegro Brillante, choreo-
graphed by George Balanchine,
is a brisk classical ballet with
music by Peter Tchaikovsky. This
once obscure piece of music so
inspired Balanchine that he set
Allegro Brillante in just two days
and staged the ballet within the
same week. Balanchine's inten-
tion in this ballet is not to convey
a narrative idea, but rather to
have the dancers complement
this declarative and deeply con-
templative score. "Like many
Balanchine works, Allegro Bril-
lante is a highly rigorous ballet
which requires masterful techni-
cal ability from our dancers," says
Robert Barnett. "It is refreshing
with constantly shifting patterns
and sequence of steps."

Choreographer Tandy Beal.
and The Atlanta Ballet's own
Matthew Wright will both present
a world premiere.

Tandy Beal will introduce audi-
ences to a new facet of enchant-
ing dances and dramatic perfor-
mances. Since 1971, when she
launched her career as an inde-

pendent dancer/choreographer,
she has created and performed
more than 60 dances and theater
works that have won her critical
acclaim throughout the United
States and Europe.

The Atlanta Ballet will also
showcase the work of its own,
Matthew Wright. His first choreo-
graphed work since arriving in
Atlanta from Great Britain,
Wright's ballet will reflect the last
moments in the life of the com-
poser Gustav Mahler. This thrilling
piece is an abstract work express-
ing the state of the composer's
mind. Set to Mahler's 10th sym-
phony, the ballet centers around
one male dancer representing
Mahler. The other dancers sym-
bolize his state of mind, significant
people in his life, and the forebod-
ing approach of death. Wright sets
his ballet against an all-white
setting to evoke a dream-like
quality "We are proud to present
the work of one of our own
company members. Wright is
young, talented and on his way
up." says Artistic Director Robert
Barnett.

The sensuous Appearances,
set to Pat Metheny's scintillating
jazz, will warm up the stage in a
hurry Lynne Taylor-Corbett, who

in addition to her much applauded
ballets, dazzled movie audiences
with her choreography for the box
office hit Footloose, set this piece
specifically for The Atlanta Ballet.
This is not the first time this
season that Ms. Corbett's works
have- graced the stage of the
Atlanta Civic Center. The Atlanta
Ballet kicked off the 1986-87
season with one of her produc-
tions, "Estuary," a beautiful ballet
which received rave reviews.

Appearances is back by popu-
*ar demand this year," says Robert
Barnett. "It's highly stylized and
dramatically lit. It's provocative,
yet always entertaining."

"This piece looks at the sexual
confusion of the decade. It is full
of ambiguities. ..it is no wonder it's
so intriguing." Barnett concludes.

Ticket prices are $4.00 to
S30.25 with special senior citizen
and student discounts available.
Tickets may be purchased in
advance at the Ballet Box Office,
477 Peachtree Street, 12:00-5:00
p.m. weekdays, or charged by
calling 873-3303. Tickets are also
available at SEATS outlets and in
all Turtle's Record Stores. Tick-
ets may be purchased at the
Civic Center on the day of the
performance.

Troubles in Ireland Come to the Stage

Theatre Gael presents Brian
Friel's The Freedom of the City
March 19 through April 5 at the
new Academy First Stage
Theatre. The play runs Thursday
through Sunday evenings at 8:00.
The new Academy Theatre is
located at the corner of Juniper
and 14th Street in Midtown. Call
892-0880 for reservations and
information. Tickets are $8.00.

The Freedom of the City is set
in Londonderry, Northern Ireland
during the dispersal of an unau-
thorized Civil Rights march. In the
confusion, three demonstrators -
two young men and a middle-
aged mother of eleven children -
unknowingly take refuge in the
mayor's office in City Hall. There,
over a number of glasses of
municipal wine, they speak of
their lives and dreams. Below in
the street, as rumors fly that 40
armed terrorists have taken over

the seat of government, the army
gathers. The trio emerges and
they are shot. Yet through the
evening the audience is left
considering a good deal more
than the addition of more faceless
statistics to Ireland's suffering.

Perhaps more than any other
writer, Brian Friel has dramatized
the ongoing troubles in Northern
Ireland with a wit and compassion
that has elevated these events far
beyond the mire of politics and
headlines. The Freedom of the
City is a compelling play, skillfully
told with humor and wisdom. The
doomed Civil Rights marchers
play out their last moments with
a very human blend of awkward-
ness and dignity. Playwright Friel
has given us a truly unforgettable
play.

Theatre Gael is in residence at
the Academy Theatre. Its goal is
to provide the plays, poetry and

music of the Celtic nations of
Ireland, Scotland and Wales to
Atlanta audiences.

The Academy Theatre
Features Homer McGundy

A rip-roarm , action-packed
saga, The Adventures of Homer
McGundy, written and directed by
playwright-m-residence Barbara
Lebow, will take the Academy
Theatre mainstage by storm
March 11 through April 4. This
colorful tale of thrills and spills,
exploits and exploitation, is about
a scheme to make a two-bit train
robber into a big-time legend.
Capturing the flavors of the Old
West, the traveling medicine
shows and the grade-B Hol-
lywood scene of yesteryear are
the sets by Michael Halpern,
lighting by Paul Ackerman. cos-
tumes by Judy Winograd and
original songs by Ms. Lebow.
Following each performance will
be a drawing, in the spirit of the
show, for a pair of 1987-88
Academy Theatre season tickets.
The Adventures of Homer
McGundy will run Wednesdays
through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with
3 p.m. Sunday matinees on March
22 and 29.

Audiences should expect the
unexpected in The Adventures of
Homer McGundy as characters
and settings are transformed
before their eyes. John Liles plays
the legendary Homer McGundy
as well as half-man. half-woman
Carlos-Carlota and movie actor
Billy Holt. Michael Maschinot
plays the central character Tim,
Homers side-kick, and Winslow
Thomas plays the oily, ambitious
showman. Dr. Proctor. The rest of
the motley assembly of charac-
ters are played by company
members Chris Kayser, Stefano
Maggadino. Kathleen McManus
and Greg Wallace.

Barbara Lebow, a 1986 reci
pient of a Mayors Fellowship in
the Arts, is both Playwnght-in-
residence and Director of the
Academy's Human Service Pro-
grams, which most recently pro-
duced the nationally acclaimed
People of the Brick. Her award-
winning play A Shayna Maidel
has been produced on the

Academy mainstage as well as in
Hartford, Cleveland, Philadelphia
and Chicago, and is slated for
production in New York. Her latest
work, Cyparis, will debut on the
Academy First Stage in April.

According to Ms. Lebow, The
Adventures of Homer McGundy
is both funny and serious. It's
about the audience as much as
the characters on stage, about
our fascination as a culture with
the grotesque, as well as our
need to glorify the ordinary.
There's a rowdy carnival spirit in
the medicine show scene where
human oddities are put on display,
but underneath is the silence of
the freaks. The scene is weird, but
it's based on the actual medicine
shows which predated the movies
as popular entertainment. And the
story of Homer McGundy himself
is based on an actual incident
which is stranger than fiction.
Homer McGundy has been an
exciting show to do, and the
process of working through its
development has been fascinat-
ing. It's hardly the same show
which premiered on the
Academy's First Stage last sea-
son. As Doctor Proctor would say.
"It's the new. improved version':
much tighter, much more exciting,
clearer, and full of surprises, even
for those who saw it on our First
Stage."

Tickets for The Adventures of
Homer McGundy may be purch-
ased at the theatre box office,
located at the corner of Four-
teenth and Juniper Streets,
across from the Colony Square
Hotel. Box office hours are Tues-
day - Saturday: 11 a.m. -5 p.m..

Timothy Near, the Alliance
Theatre Company's Interim Asso-
ciate Artistic Director, announced
today that "Blesse" (bless-SAY)
by Cindy Lou Johnson will make
its world premiere in the Alliance
Studio March 4 through 21. 1987.
"Blesse" will replace the originally
scheduled "Clouds" by Michael
Frayn.

The change in the Alliance
Studio line-up resulted from the
sudden availability of "Blesse."
Said Near. "The Alliance Studio
has been dedicated to producing
new works, and it is important for
theatres of our caliber to continue
to support and encourage play-
wrights to write. I'm overjoyed that
we can add another new work to

ir season." Near, who directed

tir jed, "Cindy is a great story
te er Her roots are in the South,
and her language reflects the
rhv.hms and music of the South-
e dialect. And best of all -there
is yeat humor in her writing."

3iesse," which was given a
staged reading this past summer

at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre
Center, has been critically recog-
nized as an important new Amer-
ican drama. Set in a contempo-
r ary New York City hospital, this
play explores the varying roles
and reactions of a family over the
suicide attempt by their "golden
girl." Why would Frankie a
talented. 29-year-old artist, the
family's strong bright light try to
take her own life? As Frankie, her
younger brother and her parents
.confront and grapple with their
anguish, they learn about them-
selves and their perceptions of
each other. "Blesse" (which
means "wounded" in French) is a
sensitive play about human vul-
nerability and acceptance. It is
also a play filled with humor,
expressed through Johnson's
unique characters and dialogue.

Following "Blesse," the Alliance
will present as its final Studio
production of the season, "Amaz-
ing Grace." an adventuresome
new play by Sandra Deer, whose
comedy "So Long On Lonely
Street" was the hit of both the

Studio and Mainstage seasons in
1985. This latest work focuses on
Grace Tanner, a psychic and a
country woman from South Geor-
gia who has taken her retarded
grandson. Troy, to live in Califor-
nia. There, from her beachouse
overlooking the Pacific Ocean,
she consults on a movie being
made about her life, assists in
solving a crime, and changes the
lives of an actress and a policeman.

High Displays Post-Civil War Works

The Gilded Age, the third
segment of the Arts in America
exhibition series, is on view now
through April 17 at the High
Museum at Georgia-Pacific
Center. This exhibition features
works from 1866 to 1894 and
includes paintings, prints, photo-
graphs, sculpture, and decorative
arts from the High Museum's
permanent collection and loans.

During this post-Civil War
period. Americans were fasci-
nated by tales of the "wild west"
and scenes of everyday life. Judy
L. Larson. High Museum's curator
of American art, commented.
'The Civil War had redefined our
nation. Artists of this era favored
the calm of genre scenes and
also depicted the renewed pride
in our united country."

Donald Peirce, decorative arts
curator, added that revival forms
were in favor for most of the 19th
century. "Architecture and decor
during this time tended to be
historical and exotic. Artisans
sought to create eclectic art.
based upon the best each civiliza-
tion and style had to offer." Peirce
concluded.

tion in the Arts in America series

White Animals
Storm ASC at
Winter Party

by Michele McGinnis

What a weekend for the Honor
Scholarship candidates. They
were able to see Agnes Scott
partying as it never has before,
but hopefully will be again soon.

Beer was on tap for a privileged
few, with pretzels and punch for
everyone else. Social Council
invited the White Animals (with
the Exam opening up) and the
rest of Atlanta to pack the gym on
Friday, February 20. The re-
sponse was tremendous due to
the popularity of the band, but
because of the fire code many
fans had to party on the
sidewalks, bushes, behind trees,
etc.

Social Council appreciates the
participation of ASC students and
says keep up the good work. The
attendance of more males at our
parties is expected in the future
because of the success of this
party. A blowout reggae party is
being considered for sunny May
1st. Pass by and party with us.

ASC Tennis Season Opens

by Debbie L. Strickland

In the three matches the Agnes
Scott tennis team has played
against Georgia State University.
Armstrong State College, and Tift
of Mercer University, it has ac-
quired a 1 -2 record. After suffering
a 1-8 defeat in the first match
against GSU. the team has come
back to win 7-2 over Armstrong
and play a close game against
Tift. At this early stage of the
season. Coach Cynthia Peterson
is "very encouraged*' by the team s
progress, and her outlook for the
rest of the season is positive. She
feels the team is comprised of
talented, enthusiastic players who
don't give up even after losing the
first or second set.

Several individual players,
including Jill Owens (3-0) and
Katie MacMillan (2-1 ). are compil-
ing excellent season records, and
every player on the team has won

at least one game. The toughest
wins were against Tift. In that
match. Katie MacMillan played a
grueling three sets against Julie
Joiner. After more than an hour of
play. Katie finally won the game
6-4: 1-6: 6-3. The exhaustion of
these two players was evident
when late in the game, both had
trouble serving over the net.

Mitrina Mogelnicki also fought
a tough Tift opponent. Shan Sivell.
Mitrina came back from a 3-6 loss
in the first set to win the next two
sets by scores of 6-4 and 6-3.
These two games were the only
singles that required tiebreakers.
Jill Owens won her match also,
and at the end of the singles
round the score was tied at 3-3.

Tift won all three of the doubles
games. This match was not the
first in which Agnes Scott played
poorly in the doubles round. They
lost all three games against GSU
as well. Their two doubles wins
for the season came in the
Armstrong State match. Jill

Owens and Laura Weaver, and
Katie MacMillan and Hong Tran
won their games against
Armstrong opponents.

Coach Peterson "is still trying
to find the best doubles combina-
tions. The players' personalities,
strengths, and weaknesses are
key factors in determining a
doubles line-up." She believes
that the doubles scores will
mprove in the future as partners
grow comfortable with one
another. The addition of Thao Tu.
a sophomore who had been
injured and unable to participate
in the first three matches, will give
Peterson more flexibility in form-
ing the doubles combinations.

For the remainder of the sea-
son. Coach Peterson anticipates
few major problems despite a
tough schedule that includes
matches with teams such as
Georgia Tech and Emory. For a
more in depth look of the team's
performance, see the display on
this page.

Audience Flips for Dolphin Club

by Debbie L. Strickland

Last Thursday and Friday, the
Dolphin Club entertained the
campus with its annual show
whose theme was "Through the
Waves of Time." They saluted
several eras of the twentieth

'20's. the Fifties, and the Sixties.
Friday night's show was primarily
organized for Sophomore Parents
Weekend, but on Thursday night
the show was open to students,
who turned out in large numbers
to watch the first synchronized
swimming performance of the
year.

Students and parents liked the
costumes, which ranged from
Twenties flapper outfits to Sixties
tie-dyed swimsuits. President
Sarah Goodwin's solo costume,
which was based on "Miami Vice"
was a crowd pleaser as well.

Numbers included a tribute to
the Charleston craze, to Fifties'
rock and roll, and to the future.
Sarah choreographed in whole or
in part four pieces and performed
in three. Altogether, 18 out of 20
Dolphin Club members appeared
in the show. Dr. Kay Manuel, the
faculty adviser to the Dolphin club,
was also instrumental in their
success, and according to the
members, did "the most work" to
produce the shows One of her
most innovative ideas this year
was using a video camera to tape
practices so that swimmers could
easily see their mistakes. The
members found the taping "very
helpful."

Comrade Scott Plans Coup

by Lisa Gugino

Acting chair of the Political
Science Department, comrade
Cathy Scott, has asserted her
power, and she is calling to arms
the oppressed and exploited
student body of Agnes Scott to
take part in a coup attempt against
the reigning capitalist bourgeoisie
administration, headed by the
running dog capitalist Ruth
Schmidt. Comrade Scott, com-
plaining that the corrupt forces of
capitalism have belittled the
original ideological aims of the
college, has decided to take
action. She and a core group of
enlightened revolutionaries are
putting to use the most advanced
Marxist-Leninist theories in an
attempt to ferment an ideologi-
cally pure revolution. Comrade

Scott told The Profile. 'Approxi-
mately 90o of the courses offered
in my department cover Marxist-
Leninist theory and strategic
means of revolution formation;
therefore, unknown to the unsus-
pecting administration, we have a
well-trained and properly educa-
ted class of politically conscienti-
ous students. Spontaneity and
trade-unionism have been over-
come among our ranks, we are
ready for battle ; students of Agnes
Scott, unite 1 "

Comrade Scott cites several
reasons for the timing of this coup
attempt: " In light of the highly
destabilizing process of economic
development and renovation on
this campus. I felt that the result-
ing social frustration and institu-
tional instability provided for the
appropriate' and scientifically
correct conditions for revolution."
She went on to say that in her

mind the conditions couldn't be
more ready for this upheaval. ' The
Agnes Scott student body has
equivalent revolutionary fervor to
any oppressed class I've ever
dealt with. Their unrest needed
only to be channeled so that they
could become an instrument
against all forms of tyranny and
opprjession." * .

In a final interview question.
The Profile, asked Comrade Scott
why she was undertaking such
ambitious endeavors. "Well, aside
from creating a new educational
association characterized by
social justice and equality for all.
I desired a long awaited vacation
from politics. Everybody knows
that by developing such a society,
all public power and activities lose
their political character, thus,
putting me out of a job and on the
beaches."

Student Body Moves to Africa

Comrade Cath> Scott ponders the logistics of over-throwing tit
administration by means of a pun- Marxist-Leninist revolution.

fill's Scott

by Wanda Pharr

The Global Awareness Depart-
ment has embarked on a radical
mission to promote international
awareness. The Agnes Scott
student body will travel to Burkina
Faso. Africa to spend the 1987-88
school year at the University of
Ouagadougou, the country's cap-

ital. The students of
Ouagadougou will likewise come
to Agnes Scott for the year.

This college-wide "trading of
places" is the brainchild of Presi-
dent Schmidt. Schmidt has visited
Burkina Faso several times and is
thrilled that the Agnes Scott
students will have the opportunity
to live in Africa for a year.

The Global Awareness Depart-

ment has chartered one 747 Air
Burkina jet to transport the Agnes
Scott students to their new home
and two C-141 cargo planes to
transport their luggage.

Since one 20 minute phone call
from Ouagadougou to the States
could cost as much as books for
a semester, students are encour-
aged to rely on letter writing as their
main source of communication.

Chimp Joins Class of 1991

by Dana Keller

Dr. Itihn Studstill, Director of Global Xwareness. answers questions about the I rmersitx of Ouagadougou in Burkina
l aso. the future home of Vgnes Seott students.

The administration announced
last week that as a joint project
with the Yerkes Primate Center of
Emory University a female chim-
panzee will be admitted to Agnes
Scott as a student in the fall of
1987. President Schmidt has
been negotiating with Emory for
months, and the result is that
Agnes Scott will be the first
college in the country to host this
unusual *kind of student. "Jane."
considered by Yerkes officials to
be- the most advanced graduate
of their communication program,
was recruited heavily by officials
around the country. The research-
ers were ultimately most impressed
by Agnes Scott's willingness to
accommodate Janes's special
needs, however, and they are
hopeful that her adjustment to
campus life will be eased by the

fact that she will commute daily
from Emory rather than being a
residential student.

Jane will be accompanied
during her commute and to her
classes by an ASL interpreter.
Although Jane possesses verbal
communication skills, her signing
vocabulary is much larger and
assistance will probably be re-
quired at first. A class schedule
for Jane has not been determined
pending the results of her ad-
vanced placement tests, but she
has expressed an interest in
psychology and anthropology as
a result of her experience and
mentors at Emory. Anthropology
professor John Tumblin was
enthusiastic over the possibility of
having Jane as a student. He
added, however, that she would
probably experience culture
shock upon becoming a Scottie.
and he hoped she would not feel
too disoriented and depressed at
the sight of so many shaved legs.

Airs Complaints

Dear Editor:

I. as a representative of the
entire Profile staff, am hereby
writing you this letter. I want to
inform you of several conditions
we demand pending our future
volunteer work on The Profile
staff.

We demand that we no longer
be held responsible for articles
that reporters "forget" to write or
don't have time to do. Why should
we have to run around at the last
minute trying to scrape together
an article? We would rather be
doing our homework.

We refuse to spend every
Tuesday night racking our brains
for story ideas when we not only
receive no outside help, but we
are constantly criticized on how
boring the newspaper is. Come
on. Ms. Hartline. How creative
can two people be?

We will absolutely never spend
another Saturday and/or Sunday,
from nine in the morning till six at
night, down in that empty, un-
heated. dull Profile office without
some sort of compensation (al-
cohol will do nicely for those who
are of age).

We refuse to assume the duties
of other editors who quit in the
middle of a term, even if they are
pleading temporary insanity. I
cannot understand why no one
wants to be a section etiitor. You
let us eat dinner. Nobody really
likes us. I just don't understand.

We also refuse to spend hours
and hours of volunteer time
writing articles, putting together a
newspaper, and stuffing mail-
boxes only to see hundreds of
copies thrown in the trash. It
would be different if they were
being used for a legitimate pur-
pose, like in dormroom training of
pet tarantulas.

Finally, we demand that the
editor-in-chief is no longer re-
quired to write editorials as a part
of her job. We do not feel that it

Student Seeks
Good Hygiene

Dear Editor.

A week or so after the "Taiwan
flu" first hit this campus, notices
from the health center appeared
on everyone's door to advise us
all that this plague was a very
contagious parasitic infection of
the intestine. According to this
notice, the best prevention for
cryptosporidiosis is "stringent
handwashing procedures and
good environmental hygiene." If I
am not mistaken, such sanitary
methods, while particularly impor-
tant during epidemics, are always
a good idea for those who wish
to maintain their good health.

Assuming that I have not yet
said anything radical enough to
be cause for much debate. I now
wish to bring up an issue which

Student Vetoes
Afternoon Classes

Dear Editor:

There is a matter which has
been upsetting me quite a bit.
Being that you caught me by the
leg when you were on bended
knee begging people to write and
to get involved. I thought I might
share my extremely disturbing
discovery with you. I hope you
become as outraged as I am.

It has come to my attention,
with the arrival of spring, that
Agnes Scott is holding classes
during P.T.H. (Prime Tanning
Hours). During the winter months,
it went unnoticed that students
were missing the best hours of
the day. Now that spring and
sunny weather have made their
grand arrival, classes have to go.

Trapped amidst four walls, my
lungs filling with chalk dust. I am
forced to scream in desperation.
I can't stand another seventy-five
minute lecture on the unimpor-
tance of men. Yes. it is true, editor,
men are unimportant, but I must
have the sun. I want to offer myself
to that yellow beaming object.
Skin cancer or not. I must have a
tan. Cook me until my face is
falling off.

I am pleading with you to bring
it to the attention of the faculty and
staff that we students cannot
survive unless we are allowed to
use the prime tanning hours.
Classes are beginning to be a real
nuisance. They even interrupt my
soaps. For six months. I haven't
been able to find out if Kimberly's
baby is the son of her brother's
father, or if the actual father of
Donna's children is Michael or his

brother. How do these people
expect me to exist without the
essentials of life 9

I suggest a boycott against
classes. Until the needs of the
individual student are met. the
student body should not be held
responsible for attending classes.
Are there any suggestions out
there 9
Sincerely.
Anita Rays

has been a source for much
puzzlement, not only to me but to
many fellow resident students. In
spite of nearly universal recogni-
tion of the strong relationship
between good hygiene and good
health, there is neither soap nor
paper towels in the dormitory
bathrooms. Every restroom on
campus which may be frequented
by non-residents is equipped with
such luxuries, so why not the
restrooms used most frequently
by the students on campus 9
Either a majority of students are
being discriminated against, or
this school has not yet given me
a sufficient education through
which I might make sense of this
situation.

Respectfully submitted,
Sick and soapless

Interdorm Catches Napier: Reb el w ithout A Care

by Ray Porter

On March 8 at approximately
3:00 a.m.. a highly serious crimi-
nal incident took place in Winship
dorm. Sarah Napier, an ASC
sophomore and Atlanta resident,
was apprehended as she entered
the second floor with approxi-
mately 70 males of various ages,
shapes and sizes. The males
were found to be possessing four
kegs of cold Beck's beer and
several electric guitars.

The interdorm security squad
was immediately on the scene to
remove the males from the prem-
ises, and Ms. Napier was taken
into custody and placed in a high
security cell in the basement of
Winship. Public safety was called.
Arriving four hours later, they
removed the kegs, which they
disposed of properly.

Two top-level Interdorm officials
were assigned to guard Ms.
Napier's cell, where she received
two meals daily of Leticia Pate
collard greens and pepperoni
lasagna. A trial was set for several

days later due to the fact that Ms.
Napier was diagnosed as being
in an extremely volatile and
violent state of mind. She had to
be given large doses of Chaucer
reading assignments daily to
subdue her.

The trial took place on March
11 with Inderdorm officials Sally
Straight and Nerdella Cobb pre-
siding as judges, and the remain-
ing interdorm members' as a jury
A large crowd gathered in the
quad to watch the proceedings.
Some students threw things at
Ms. Napier while others yelled to
her defense. Sarah Jewett
threatened to fast until Ms. Napier
was released. The trial lasted for
approximately three hours.

When questioned about the
events of March 8. Ms. Napier
swore that all 70 men were her
brothers or other relatives. She
also said she had no idea about
the origin of the beer or electric
guitars. When asked what her
motive was for allowing these
men to enter the high security
Winship no-men zone, Ms. Napier
responded, "Well, you know, sh-t
happens. I guess I momentarily

forgot the rules, not that I had
been drinking or anything."

Due to the serious nature of this
crime, a verdict has yet to be
decided. Investigations of Ms.
Napier's family have shown that
she does not. in fact, have 70
living male relatives. She has only
one brother, Bark, who could
probably make enough noise for
70 people, but denies any involve-
ment in the crime. Ms. Napier is
being given a battery of
psychological tests to determine
whether perhaps she blacked out
and thought she was at a co-ed
school.

Ms. Napier is still being held in
a high security, cell and is only
allowed out for classes. While it
is not likely that Sue will be
expelled, some of the punish-
ments suggested are: permanent
residence in the computer room
typing papers for other students,
a mandatory life-time job working
at Agnes Scott after graduation,
or the requirement of 30 hours of
labor a week on the construction
of the gym in addition to her
academic workload. Although she
will probably resist the assign-

From Agnes to Anthony

by Susan Scott

The president of Agnes Scott
College, Dr. Ruth Schmidt, has
carried the tradition of having a
tea on Susan B. Anthony's birth-
day one step further.

Beginning in the fall of 1987.
Agnes Scott College will be
renamed the Susan B. Anthony
Women's Seminary. Schmidt
states that the main reason for the
name change is the administra-
tion's fondness for Susan B.
Anthony dollars. "No vending
machine will accept them, but we
like them anyway."

Following the Soviet tradition of
calling fellow citizens "comrade."
Agnes Scott students will be
required to call one another
"suffragette." As a consequence
of this action, the city of Decatur
has been considering its own
name change. Possible new
names are Seneca Falls and
Suffragette City.

"Susan B. Anthony" students
will also be required to dress for
dinner. White, high-necked
blouses containing as much
starch as the dining hall food will
be mandatory.

Naturally, all students who are
eligible to vote will be required to
do so.

ment due to her strong anti-
parietal beliefs and rebellious
tendencies. Ms. Napier will be
required to speak with freshmen
about the evils of violating parietals.

Due to the high security alert
placed on her cell, Sarah was
unavailable for comment. Napier's
roomate. Carolyn Weaver, was
asked how she felt about the
actions of her friend. She replied.

"Sarah has always been kind of
rebellious, but I must say I was
shocked and appalled at her
actions." Ms. Weaver had no
comment when asked about
rumors that she was in posses-
sion of one of the missing kegs of
Beck's. Sarah Jewett was unavail-
able for comment because of her
weakened state from fasting.

Professor Leads Two Lives

by Renee Dennis

On March 10, sophomore
Aimee Peeples was jogging on
campus when a maintenance
truck, overflowing with dirt and
rocks, passed her. As the truck
turned a curve, debris rattled onto
the ground, and one baseball-
sized clump of dirt flew out of the
truck on a collision course toward
Aimee's face.

Then, fortunately for Aimee,
Professor Steven Guthrie came
to her rescue. While taking a
campus stroll, he had noticed
Aimee's imminent peril. He dove

behind the mailbox near Buttnck
Hall, where, according to wit-
nesses, he changed into Super-
Prof!

In his red and blue uniform, the
handsome and brave SuperProf
flew to Aimee. the lovely, dis-
tressed damsel. He swooped
down from the sky and shielded
the bewildered Aimee from the
clump of dirt. She was saved from
certain catastrophe.

Professor Guthrie denies these
fantastic accounts of his bravery,
but many observors. including Dr.
L. Lane, have noticed his con-
spicuous absence whenever
SuperProf is present.

Students Intern on The Street

by Hadda Sheltered Life

Three upcoming seniors have
been granted internships at Per-
sonnel Management Systems.
They will be working in three
different sections of this company
from seven to seven (night to
morning.)

Kathie 'Snow' White will be
working in the Fine Dining Got-
rocks division. Her duties will
include escorting major clients to
the upper class restaurants in
Atlanta. Although Kathie has not
yet escorted alone, she is looking
forward to Nickoli's Roof in May.
where she will escort the famous
Oliver North.

Lynn 'Watchit' Wilson says that
she will be working in the S & M
division of Personnel Manage-
ment Systems. Lynn is not quite
sure what S & M stands for. but
she says. "It must have something
to do with Saddles and Meat
because they told me I would be

working with a lot of leather and
knives." Lynn will report later
when she figures out what she will
be doing.

Finally. Stephanie Dancin'
Legs' Barkholz says that she will
be starting work in April in the
Physical Education department of
PMS. She is looking forward to
teaching dancing to elderly clien-
tele who have specifically re-
quested a health orientation for
their hearts and what-not.
Stephanie says she enjoys danc-
ing for people and doesn't mind
teaching the elderly a few of her
tricks. "After all," she says, "they
gotta get it sometime too. Our
generation shouldn't have a
monopoly on nude dancing."

Kathie. Lynn, and Stephanie
happened upon these internships
by accident one night at Club Rio.
Stephanie says that she was just
"dom' some moves" when a tall
Latin looking man approached
them and asked if they were
students. Astonished, they replied

yes. and he proceeded to teli
them about the internships availa-
ble with his company.

After they went home that
evening and checked their
schedules, they decided that even
though the hours of seven at night
to seven . in the morning were
particularly difficult on their lives,
the pay and experience was just
too good to pass up.

None of the three regrets her
decision to begin the internship
so late in the semester. It will
continue into the summer months
and the beginning of fali semester.

"By next August. I should have
enough money to pay cash for my
senior year at Scott if I'm careful
and buy the Toyota instead of the
Mercedes." says Kathie.

These three friends were lucky
to find a company that had
internships available for all of
them. We are proud of these
Scotties for being so innovative
and creative with their job hunting.

Personal Bodyguards Insure Students' Safety

by Emma Safe

How many times have you
heard the statement "Campus

Police are never around when
you need them?" One of the
favorite pastimes of Scotties is to
grumble and complain about
campus security. The administra-
tion, feeling guilty because public

( . uards protect students

safety was ragged on more than
they were, decided to take some
action. They started a search for
the most effective way to make
students feel secure on the Agnes
Scott campus. Realizing that the
students are never satisfied, the
administration discovered that
there was only one possible
solution. The only step left to take
was to approach President Schmidt
and seek approval.

The administration was very
wise in the planning of this step.
They waited until President
Schmidt's nap time, and Gerald
O. Whittington. disguised as the
president's cat. slipped into her
office. Making the president
believe she was receiving a
prophecy from her cat. Mr.
Whittington convinced Schmidt to
abandon her renovation plans.

At the end of nap time. Presi-
dent Schmidt leaped from her
office to inform the administration
that all renovation would be
stopped completely, but there was
one problem with this idea. What
would they do with all the left-over

money 9 Dean Hudson, quick to
answer, suggested that the
money be put towards better
security for the campus. All were
in agreement.

The college purchased an
armed guard for each student.
Every student received a per-
sonalized guard. Guards were
recruited from various veterans'
hospitals. No one over age 75
was hired. The administration
promises that all guards can still
run.

Students are to pick their
guards up. along with their yellow
blocks for use of the track, from
the public safety office. Chief
Korth asks that the students
please hurry because there have
been a few deaths due to guards
throwing the yellow blocks at one
another.

Each guard comes with an
operator's handbook and keys to
every building on campus. There
will be a tank parked outside of
Buttrick that each guard has been
trained to drive. The tank may
only be used for transportation to

and from Marta. Guards have
permission to shoot only perverts
and small dogs. Please do not
ask your guard to shoot anyone
on the administration, faculty, or
staff, even if he or she is a pervert.

The administration hopes this
will help the Agnes Scott student
feel more secure on campus.
Please don't forget to pick up your
guard and your yellow block. If he
does not come with a yellow
block, please file a "Missing Block
Report" with Chief Korth.

ASC Revokes Alcohol Policy

by I. Giffa Darn

Effective Thursday. March 31.
Agnes Scott College will no longer
enforce its 21 year old minimum
drinking age.

The change in policy is moti-
vated by a recent decision by the
administration to give Agnes Scott
students more freedom in govern-
ing their own lives.

"We [the administration] believe
that the time a woman spends at
Agnes Scott is a formative period
of her life. We want her to have
the freedom to explore pos-
sibilities for forming her own
values without the restrictions of
a governing body who sets down
lofty mandates aimed at conform-
ing the student body into a

homologous whole." stated Kay
Budson. Dean of Students.

The student body responded to
the dismissal of the drinking policy
with understandable apprecia-
tion. "Finally, I can put to use
those wine glasses my Aunt Rose
gave me for graduation. com-
mented freshman Lolita Lush.

Honor Court President Daffy
Bombedberg meets the policy
change with relief. Tm just
thrilled, and not because of the
freedom it gives the student body
- though. I am pleased in that
respect - I am just glad that the
Court won't have to deal with so
many trifling cases over someone
having a sip of beer in her room."
(She burps) "Uh. excuse me.
Here, have a Heinle."

However, not every student is
pleased with the policy change.

Some students have encountered
problems directly related to the
change. One sophomore soberly
reported. "I called the Physical
Plant to tell them the bulb in my
overhead light was out and
needed replacing. I got the words
'I need a light...' out of my mouth,
when the guy cut me off and said
'Michelob or Budweiser."

The faculty was shaken (not
stirred) by the change. French
Professor Eauld Gard com-
mented. "There is no place, in a
college committed to liberal edu-
cation, for this kind of gratuitous
freedom."

In general, the mood of the
campus is that of inebriated
exuberance.

In line with the decision to grant
more freedom to the students, a
dismissal of parietals is pending.

Mallory Establishes Dress Code

by Henrietta Stackpole

Attempting to foster school
spirit, the administration has
established a new dress code. In
place of sweat pants, students
must don the purple and white
striped skirts that the school has
commissioned Jaclyn Smith, the
famous Kmart designer and
model, to design and manufac-
ture. Instead of Reeboks. stu-
dents must purchase purple and
white saddle oxfords, which will
soon be available in The Campus
Shop for the low price of S79.95.

The administration hopes that
these and other dress code
changes will make ASC a more
unified campus. According to the
Dress Code Committee head.
Marilyn Mallory. these new rules
will render our campus a peaceful
island of conformity, for "there will
be no competition in the area of
fashion. Students will be entirely
freed of their shopping burdens.

Instead, they can concentrate on
their studies."

Although Ms. Mallory teaches
such courses as Philosophy of
Fashion 112 and Twentieth Cen-
tury Fashion 501, she believes
that undergraduates are not
mature enough to dive directly
into the heady world of fashion
and should therefore stick with
the basic Agnes Scott uniform.
She says. "So many young
women are susceptible to fads.
Remember the leg warmer craze 9
Remember thedesigner jean fad?
Young women wasted a lot of
money on those now worthless
items that were soon out of style.
That's why we commissioned
Jaclyn Smith to create the Agnes
Scott wardrobe. Ms. Smith
creates the timeless, practical
clothes that every college woman
should have."

Ms. Mallory believes the restric-
tions on student dress allow for
individuality. Although students
must wear a white blouse with
purple vest along with their Scottie

Skirt, and the purple bow in the
hair, they are allowed to choose
their own socks. According to Ms.
Mallory. "Socks express the inner
self more than any other article of
clothing."

Student reactions to the prop-
osed changes vary considerably.
Some students like Beth Leonard
are in favor of the new code. Beth
believes that "the code will make
Agnes Scott more like a team."
Adele Clements, however, is
vehemently opposed to the
changes. "Marilyn Mallory is a
dictator. I believe that as Ameri-
cans we are all free to dress as
we please. I will definitely transfer
to Ball State if these changes are
effected."

Ms. Mallory responds. "I
couldn't care less what that little
witch thinks about my rules. Let
her transfer. We'll all be better off
without her whining and com-
plaints." The Dress Code goes
into effect next fall. Violators will
be immediately confined in G-28
of Winship for one week.

Beer Guzzles for The Last Time

by Gotta A. Problem

Take a good look at this picture.
Do you recognize this person 9
This poor hapless soul who
wandered into the foam of beer
and was forced to undergo many,
many painful and demoralizing
surgical procedures to become
what she is today - a happy,
humming housewife.

Although this tale has an un-
usual but happy ending, the
content may shock and sicken the
average reader. If you are one of
those average readers, enroll now
to catch up with the rest of the
third grade and read this tale.

Yes. readers. Selme Beers only
last fall was a happy go lucky
college junior here at Agnes Scott.
She loved playing on the soccer
team; she didn't even mind when
they lost the ball and had to use

Selme's friends look on as sru- guzzles her last cold one.

her as a substitute. Selme said.
"Hmmmm. you know, it was like
the most amazing thing. They just
slapped a little paint on me. and
nobody knew the difference.
Hmmmm..."

She did wonderfully in
academics, scoring a full 1.2
points fall semester! Although
Selme admits she didn't study as
much as she could have, she also
says. "I just couldn't like get into
those books with no pictures, like
yawn, ya know?"

Selme also considered getting
up for church every Sunday, which
is more than I can say for the
average reader. Although she
never quite made it, she says that
she often thought about it be-
tween one and two in the morning
at Railroofs.

What did happen to this spunky
college junior? The evils of beer
foam was Selme's destiny. Poor
Selme Beers turned so lustful in
her quest for a fast beer that she
lost sight of just where the beer
was supposed to land!

Professor Profile

by Amanda Hopkins

Non-philosophy students catch
occasional glimpses of him in the
mailroom or at social functions
and wonder who that unmasked
man is. and who let him out of his
cage. Yet. his students know him
(and revere him) as Professor
Elsewhere.

While campus recognition of
his existence is increasing. Pro-
fessor Elsewhere says he's still
not well-known enough. "This
anonymity is very frustrating for
me. I've begun taking out small
ads in the New York Times to
publicize my aims, but I haven't
gotten much local response." he
said recently. Fortunately, his
recent book. How to Groom and
Care for Your Special Pet in a
Morally Consistent Way, has
been well received critically, and it
is a huge commercial success. A
top aide, who wishes to remain
anonymous, told this reporter that
the proceeds were being given to
the Reagan Coup d'Etat Fund,
but he was uncertain if the coup
is meant to keep Reagan in power,
or if its actual favored dictatorial
candidate is Lyndon Larouche.

Elsewhere attributes his
lifelong political awareness to his

upbringing, but he admits that his
Marxist political ieanings are due
to the air of radical social protest
which prevailed on campuses
during his college years. "Yeah, it
was pretty dangerous to go
outside during the riots, so I spent
a lot of time indoors watching
reruns and old movies on tv. I
would be hard-pressed to say
whether Groucho or Harpo really
influenced me more, however."

When asked where he was
from. Elswhere evasively replied
that he was born "a little bit north
of Chicago". Since any idiot
knows that the Great Lakes are
just north of Chicago and that, like
most humans, our beloved profes-
sor hasn't the gills to survive the
Lakes, we were naturally suspi-
cious and resolved to investigate
his claims further. Exhaustive
research eventually yielded the
surprising fact that Elsewhere
was actually born in Georgia.
Although his parents were dedi-
cated party members, they were
greatly disillusioned by the Stalin
purges. They spent the next
decade trying to emigrate for the
sake of their two children (includ-
ing our beloved professor) and
eventually settled in America
where they have been attempting
to undermine the U.S. capitalist
system ever since.

fhe miracle of Beers' reconstructive surgery.

Picture one shows the fateful
night, with Selme and friends
partying away. Two hours later.
Selme was rushed to Dekalf Only
Hospital, where the single and
dashing Dr. Bud Wiser operated
on her fizzled and foamed out
face all night long. Luckily, most
of her obvious facial features were
saved from the foaming. However,
there was considerable damage
done to her neck and jaw muscles
and bones.

Dr. Wiser says poor Selme will
never be able to shotgun another
beer. She won't even be able to
tilt her head back to bellow for
another pitcher anymore.

Selme is optimistic though.
After her marriage to Dr. Wiser,
she and Bud worked on an
ingenious device that will allow
Selme to still enjoy her beer
without tilting her head at all - a
straw.

Darling Defects to Romania Leaving Studio Dance

Profile photographers catch \laril\n Darling as slu- crosses the Romanian border.

The 15 members of Agnes
Scott's Studio Dance Theater
experienced a drastic change in
their organization last week. Club
members were shocked to dis-
cover that their loyal and dedi-
cated director and friend. Marilyn
Darling, had defected to Romania
to join an improvisational folk
dance company.

The dancers arrived for their
class on Tuesday to find that Ms.
Darling was gone and had left
only a short note explaining the
reasons for her departure. The
note explained that Ms. Darling
had been recruited by the Roma-
nian company several years ago
and had resisted the temptation
to flee the pressing demands of
Agnes Scott life for the excitement
and adventure of improvisational
Romanian folk dance. Ms. Darling
emphasized that she had not
been forced or bribed by the
Romanians, only offered a deluxe
condominium and studio space
four times as big as the space
given to Studio Dance at Agnes
Scott.

The rest of the Darling family
was also uninformed of Marilyns
plans to travel to Romania.
Darlings son Mike, who has
attended the famous Studio
Dance annual spring concert for
many years, commented. " Daddy
Darling and I miss mom very
much. We hope she will come
back soon. If we don't hear from
her soon, we are going to have to
hire a detective." Mr. Darling was
unable to be reached for comment.

The members of Studio Dance
were so saddened by the loss of
their fearless leader that they felt
unable to continue the season
without her. For an indefinite time.
Studio Dance members will have
to pursue their art in the pool, as
they are all joining the Dolphin
Club. The leaders of Studio Dance
have requested several hundred
thousand dollars from Student
Government in hopes that they
can travel to Romania to visit Ms.
Darling, but for now they'll be
kicking those "dancin"' feet in the
pool. Oh well, isn't sychronized
swimming really water ballet
anyway 9

Rock Exhibit Reveals the Origins of Man

by Meredith Sheldon

Dr. Staven announced that an
Indian rock art exhibit will be in
Dana this month. The exhibit
includes specimens collected by
the senior art majors as part of
their senior projects in connection
with the Anthropology department.

The exhibit. Tumblin's Song.
Rock Art of Western America.''
contains 20 photographs of rock
art. The photographs were taken
on a field trip out West. The
students studied rocks in conjunc-
tion with the history of man in
Western America. The rocks are
representative of the culture, or
lack thereof, of the times.

There will be approximately 20
photographs of petroglyphs and
pictographs from sites in Califor-
nia. Utah. New Mexico, and other
areas which the students refuse
to disclose, claiming the 5th
Amendment. There will be a

descriptive text written by these
new experts who experimented
with their new Spanish skills
acquired on the visit. (Could we
use this to claim funding under
the Global Awareness Program?).
This exhibit will strive to make the
public aware of the history mean-
ing, and extreme value these sites
offer our heritage. (Did we evolve
from rocks 9 Visit the exhibit to find
out.)

Claire Armistead was part of
the group that traveled with the
program. She bubbles with excite-
ment when speaking of the proj-
ect: "I had a great time. We really
got back to nature. It's amazing
how much you can learn from
rocks. We also learned about the
culture of the people. I had a
chance to brush up on my
Spanish. It was difficult to write
the brochure about the exhibit
since it was all in Spanish. I got 1
some great ideas for my wedding.
I plan to create a desert scene
with rocks and cacti. Rocks have

so much meaning for me now. I'll
be carrying desert flowers. The
bridesmaids will wear desert rose.
Perhaps I can get Gina to let me
decorate for her wedding with
rocks to give it that special look.

Dr. Herbert served as translator
for the group on the trip When
asked about her experiences of
traveling with a group of college
students, her only reply was. "It
was an experience I'll never
forget."

Dr. Tumblin commented. "The
descent of man can be traced
through rocks. We discovered the
origins of man in America.'' When
asked what exactly our origins
were, he only replied. "We know,
but we ain't telling. If you want to
know, find out yourself."

Agnes Scott is fortunate to have
such an exciting exhibit. Stop by
and visit to discover the beauty of
rocks and the exciting possibilities
of truth they contain. For more
information, contact Dr Staven.

Blackfriars
with Hit,

Leave for New York
Crimes of the Heart

by Hettie Howard

The Blackfriars. Agnes Scott's
oldest organization, is leaving the
school to go on a professional
tour. Every year the group re-
ceives world-wide acclaim for its
performances.

Says Becky Prophet, the direc-
tor. "We decided it was time to
pursue our art. Our performers
had too many distractions in the
academic setting with classes,
exams, mandatory meetings, and
all. Now we can concentrate on
our art. We can also make a lot
of money!"

When asked about the new
move Dudley Sanders, technical
director, said: Tm excited about
living the life of a touring artist.
We'll be traveling in an old school
bus in the style of the Partridge
Family. We'll stop in out-of-the-
way places like Dunedin. Florida,
and Bethlehem. Pennsylvania, so
we can share the cultural life with
the natives. We artists like to
share our talent. Of course, we'll
also hit the big cities like London
and Paris so we can make lots of
money 1 "

Paul Lifton. who will coach the
performers, looks forward to the
experience. " I've always wanted
to see the world through the eyes
of a world famous artist. Maybe
Dudley will lend me his! In all
seriousness, we will now have the
chance to fully develop our talent.
Besides, we'll make lots of
money 1 "

The Blackfriars' first stop will be
Broadway where they plan to
present Crimes of the Heart, the
smash hit of their fall season.
They open April 31. The perform-
ances will be at 3:00 a.m. Ms. G.
is planning a tour for students
who wish to travel to New York.
The group will travel by Trailways.
The package includes lodging

ASC Announces New Band

Agnes Scott College is proud to
announce the formation of a new
musical ensemble here on cam-
pus. Student try-outs yielded a
very talented group of jazz musi-
cians.

Although try-outs were first
open to Agnes Scott students, an
apparent lack of enthusiasm
prompted the jazz band leader Dr.
Fuller to open auditions to other
area college students. Guitarist
Par T. Animal growled at the
thought of being in such close
contact with the Agnes Scott
Community. He was quoted as
saying, "I've always heard what a

caring community it [ASC] is. and
now I am just real excited to get
to know each and every Scottie
personally." Animal is lead
guitarist and is acting as the
group's student leader.

Faculty sponsor and director
Fuller is quite pleased with the
group practices so far and hopes
to be ready to perform by June of
1988. A full schedule of perform-
ances will be posted on the music

ASC Basketball Team
Wins National Title

By Megan Wallace
and Heather Warnock

As you all know, the Agnes
Scott basketball team, the Purple
Reign, once again came out on
top!! On March 25. 1987, the
beloved basketball team traveled
to Knoxville. Tennessee to meet
with the University of Tennessee
Lady Volunteers for the national
title. The UT Lady Volunteers were
no match for these talented
women.

Jennifer "Motor Boat'" Spurlin.
the captain of the team, lead the
team to victory with her amazing
rebound talents. Spur, as she is
fondly referred to. impressed the
crowd with her 70 rebounds in the
first half. Tracy McMahon. cocap-
tain of this fine team, awed the
crowd with her behind-the-back-
between-the-legs hookshot from
half court. She never missed a
beat getting over 65 in a row. The
referee was so amazed he
awarded Tracy 3 points for each
shot.

Claire Guitton was not outdone
by Tracy's performance.

Claire could not resist the urge
to dunk the ball every time she
had possession of it. At one point.
Claire delayed the game because
she hung on to the rim after
making one of her many
dunkshots. The crowd was in
suspense as Claire bellowed for
Mr. Piggy to come save her. Adele
Clements, being one of the few
people allowed to care for Mr.
Piggy, rushed Mr. Piggy to Claire's
rescue so that the game could
resume.

Angela Tonn baffled the oppos-
ing team with her ability to steal
the ball in any situation. She
quickly ran each ball back for an
easy lay-up. The UT Lady Vols
were forced to resort to a zone
defense to guard against Angela's
amazing power.

Sarah Jewett. a well known
political activist, argued that the
UT team's choice of uniform
colors was communist oriented.

Sarah came back in the game
and committed two personal
fouls, citing that the colors of the
opposing team's uniforms caused
her to lose control.

Adele Clements, as the result
of a bad call, lost her temper and
caused the team 5 technical fouls.
As a result, she was thrown out
of the game; however, she had
previously scored 36 points with
her famous Granny Shot.

The Lady Volunteer's coach
sweated throughout the entire
game; however, our own Coach
Peterson remained calm and
collected until the final 2 minutes.
At the 2 minutes warning, the
ASC team was winning 248-27.
The ASC Purple Reign went on
to score 30 points in the final 2
minutes, for a final score of 278-
27. The Lady Vols' 27 points came
solely from foul shots. After
returning from their long, victori-
ous journey. Dean Hudson hosted

RTCs enjo) rigorous work-outs ol .ill kinds of physical exercise,

RTCs Flip Over RE.

by Heather Warnock

The Physical Education Depart-
ment is now in the process of
re-evaluating their curriculum.
This is due to the overwhelming
demand by RTCs for more PE
courses. It was brought to Dr.
Manuel's attention that RTCs truly
enjoy the physical education
courses offered, and they would
like for classes to last longer.
Many expressed a desire for more
outdoor activities, such as la-
crosse, rugby, jai-a-lai. and tackle
football. Others expressed an

interest in a physical education
major.

It seems that many RTCs are
complaining about the physical
education requirement. They
seem to think that not enough
courses are required. When
asked about her desire to exer-
cise, Phyllis Heaton responded, "I
like to think that I received my

Soccer Tryouts Go Over Big

by Megan Wallace

As most of you eager players
know, soccer season is well under
way. Everyone has been talking
about trying out for the nationally
acclaimed Agnes Scott Strikers.
There was certainly a crowd
gathered on the field when it was
announced that soccer tryouts
had officially begun. Tryouts
started three weeks ago Monday
on the new field (all the eager
Scotties with key and yellow
security badge in hand, of
course!). It was obvious after
tryouts began that the gates
would not lock behind all the
hundreds of hopeful players
inside. Campus Police would not
allow practice to continue without
having the gates secured. Coach
Reed rescheduled tryouts for
every afternoon for the next two
weeks.

To avoid the mob scene that
was apparent at the first practice.

Coach Reed allowed the women
to sign up for tryouts according to
grade point average (lowest
averages first). For the next two
weeks. Coach Reed watched 225
women compete for 11 positions
on the team with 2 reinforce-
ments. The girls went through a
series of drills and tests, finally
ending with a personal interview
with Coach Reed. Dean Hudson,
and President Schmidt.

The excited 223 (2 dropped
because of pressure under per-
formance) gathered in Gaines last
Wednesday during Convocation
to hear who would be represent-
ing the elite athletic strength of
Agnes Scott in national soccer
games. The chosen 13 were
honored with a round of parties
beginning that evening in Rebe-
kah Reception Room, moving to
2nd Rebekah for an Around the
World for your Favorite Soccer
Drink Party, and finally ending up
at the ever popular Tracksides
Tavern to toast the new team to

victory. The highly publicized and
internationally known team was
quickly brought back (those who
could still walk, of course) or
carried back to Inman Lobby for
their first publicity picture as a
team.

Though Coach Reed was
pleased with the turn out. he
hopes it is because the women
enjoy playing soccer. There has
been some rumor around cam-
pus, according to Coach Reed,
that the women were just going
out for the team for the glory and
fame of being on the Strikers and
to be able to see Coach Reed in
shorts 5 days a week. Though
Coach Reed doesn't mind the
attention, he regards soccer as a
serious sport and wants his
players to do the same. If anyone
is interested in being a part of the
team, without playing, Coach
Reed is looking for a good
manager. Please contact him
personally about this as the new
team is still trashed from last
Wednesday night.

Rostow Speaks on Declining Ethics

hi

by Julie Hartline

In keeping with tradition. Agnes
Scott held its annual Phi Beta
Kappa convocation on Wednes-
day, April 1. Dean Hall opened the
event by informing those in
attendance that Agnes Scott's
chapter, which began on March
23, 1926. recognizes high
academic achievement.

Dr. Elspeth Davies Rostow,
Professor of American Studies
and Government at the University
of Texas, was the speaker for the
1987 convocation. She began her
lecture, "Ethics in Public Life," by
stating that standards had lapsed
in this country. She shared exam-
ples of this declination from the
Atlanta Constitution and the New
York Times. Headlines included,
among many topics, the recent
television evangelistic scandals
and the arrest of a marine involved
in a spy case.

Dr. Rostow said that early
Americans had been seized by
periods of self-examination. The
American colonies were set up as
"a model exercise in human

performance," and "we regularly
criticized ourselves." stated
Rostow. She felt that Americans
had managed to correct some
major problems by the abolish-
ment of slavery and giving women
the right to vote. However,
America "is so far from perfec-
tion." said Rostow. She used as
an example the Governor of Texas
who when asked if he had told the
whole truth responded, "It wasn't
like inaugural day with the bible.
There wasn't even a bible present."

Rostow said that much of the
problem was due to the issues
facing American institutions. She
felt the family was faced with
higher divorce rates and teenage
pregnancy; the family no longer
had as much of an influence since
it had been urbanized.

Also, Rostow said that Ameri-
can schools have faced the
problem of having "to do a tre-
mendous amount more than give
moral ethics" to students. She felt
that schools had not failed, but
they had simply been asked to do
more than their time permits.

The third institution that Rostow
felt was facing problems was the
church. Technology and television

have become "hungry masters" in
her mind; the churches that are
doing a good job have not made
the news. However, she said the
church has lost some influence
due to multi-dimensionalism.

Finally. Rostow said that the
community was failing, and this
was evident in the President, who
has a problem "harmonizing what
he says and what he does "

Rostow felt that "we must turn
in the end, as in the past, to the
individual." Each person must see
that his or her own moral ideas
are lived up to. She ended with a
charge to the Agnes Scott com-
munity. "All we promise is that we
will achieve a more perfect soci-
ety, and that is your task."

Katharine Kennedy con-
cluded the convocation by an-
nouncing the 1987 members of
Phi Beta Kappa: Amy Bailey,
Jeanine Dwinell, Margaret
Hamm, Charlotte Hoffman,
Bronwyn Jones, Margaret Lackey,
Charlotte Lewis, Kathy McKee,
Maureen McNulty, Mary Morris,
Pramoda Rao, Debbie Rose,
Hong Kim Saw, Meda Stamper,
and Clancy Vettle.

Hong Kim Saw, Amy Bailey, and Pramoda Rao are new Phi Beta Kappa members.

Students Participate in Externships

ASC Sponsors Blood Drive

by Melissa Marino

Kate McKemie sponsored the blood drive on April 7th.

On Tuesday, April 7th, the
American Red Cross held a blood
drive in the Rebekah Reception
Room. A total of 64 Agnes Scott
community members turned out
to donate, even though many of
them had 'reservations about
giving blood. Julie Coleman of the
Red Cross said, "Some of the
doners were a little paranoid, but
afterwards many of them said it
wasn't as bad as they thought."

Most donors were giving blood
for the second or third time. After
this donation, Caroline Lewis had
given a gallon. Chief Korth, who
has donated about twelve times,
says he donates because "you
never know when you might need
it!"

While most Agnes Scott stu-
dents were relaxing and enjoying
the beach over spring break, there
were 33 students who partici-
pated in the externship program.
A wide variety of companies,
businesses and organizations
sponsored the students ranging
from interior decorators to the
United Nations.

Hong Kim Saw had an ex-
ternship at Southern Bell and said
that it was "great" and "very
beneficial." She also recom-
mended that students do ex-
ternships in the future because "it
is a great experience."

Caroline Sigman spent time
with a marriage and family
therapist in Hollywood. Florida,
and had the opportunity to coun-
sel a bulimic anorexic over the
phone, as well as observing and
discussing different cases with
the therapist. She felt that the
experience was "fun and stimulat-
ing." and as a result of her
externship, definitely knows what
she wants to do for her career.

Rosalind Anderson did office

and accounting work at Wood and
Associates and said that she
"learned a whole lot" and that the
"experience was something that
you can't get from books." Lisa
Keniry worked at Dames and
Moore, an Environmental Con-
sulting firm. Lisa's externship was
"intense and challenging," and
she feels that she now has a more
realistic idea of what's involved in
her career choice.

Heidi Wilson spent time at the
governor's office. She saw how
the office was run, spoke with the
governors top aides and one of
the governor's lawyers, as well as
doing many things around the
office. Heidi encourages
freshmen to participate in the
externship program and get in-
volved as soon as possible.

CP&P will be updating the-
Career Library soon, and encour-
ages all students to submit ideas
about what kind of books you
would like to see in the library.
There will be a CP&P sponsored
convocation on Wednesday. April
22, from 10:25-11:10 in Gaines.
The topic wftl be "How to Enhance
Your Marketability with In-
ternships and Summer Jobs: A
Career Panel."

EDITORIALS

by Julie Hartline

It has always been my intention to address a current issue in my
editorial and to avoid writing about the work and effort put into the
publishing of The Profile. However, I cannot resist the opportunity
to discuss the newspaper at this time.

It was with a feeling of great satisfaction that I walked across
campus on Friday, April 3. Wherever I went, people were talking
about The Profile. Those who do not usually read the paper were
reading it. The Agnes Scott community provided the newspaper
staff with the greatest sense of accomplishment, and I felt prouder
than ever before.

My only regret is in wishing that we could join together as a
community to show support for so many other things that take place
on our campus. Realizing that many of us already have too many
irons in the fire, I know it is impossible to attend every convocation
or program; however, I do feel it is important to encourage and
support one another. With a campus as close-knit as Agnes Scott,
there should be more encouragement among friends, peers,
administration and faculty and staff. It is always good to give
constructive criticism and to motivate through criticism, but we
should strive to let one another know when she or he has done
well. We need to support things, without controversy having to be
our driving force, and encouragement for one another may be a
good start. We may be surprised what a pat on the back will do.

The experience that took place on April 3rd is not one easily
forgotten, not in my mind anyway. Thank you. Agnes Scott, for
making it a great moment for The Profile staff.

LETTERS-

Imagining
Chaos and Tyranny

Dear Editor:

Please deliver the following
message to the Agnes Scott
Community:

How do we know that we can
rely on any process of law? When
a crime is committed, how can we
be sure that we will , not all be
subjected to unreasonable at-
tacks and accusations? Where
can we turn to ensure that our
rights will be protected? What
does it mean to live under the
protection of laws? What happens
without them'?

In our lives at Agnes Scott,
there are in fact two things that
guarantee our rights, the rules of
Agnes Scott and the Constitution
of the United States. Coinciden-
tally, both of these are having
birthdays in the next few years,
and a group of us faculty have
decided it would be fun to cele-

brate the Constitution while we
are celebrating ourselves. We are
turning to the rest of you to ask
for your help.

The Constitution is the only
thing that stands between us and
a life of chaos and tyranny. But it
is not a simple document, nor is
its application over the last two
hundred years. Like Agnes Scott,
it has undergone many changes
in emphasis and interpretation. To
celebrate it, therefore, can involve
a huge range of activities both
social and scholarly.

We ask that everyone at Agnes
Scott become "Constitution
aware." Almost everything we do
in the next year could be related
to our founding document. Our
group is already planning some
academic activities, but more are
possible. In addition, there are
pieces of music and drama of the
eighteenth century that could be
used in many ways and many
programs; social events could
take on a colonial flavor; we could
even be really silly and try sus-

"DON'T QUOTE ME"
LECTURE

on April 30 at 12:00

Speaker: Dr. Sally Davenport
Topic: "Politicizing the Constitution"

pending all the college rules and
rituals for a day!

At the moment, our plans are
as follows: in November 1987, we
have scheduled a distinguished
legal historian to come to campus
to visit classes and open our
celebration; other less academic
events would be welcome to
complement his visit. In mid-
February, to coincide with a
conference at the Carter Center,
we hope to focus on "Women and
the Constitution" and again a
variety of activities would be
wonderful (and probably get lots
of free publicity). In 1988, the
academics would concentrate on
the controversies surrounding
modern interpretations of the
Constitution something less
serious in addition would be
essential! In Spring 1989, we are
planning a great gala event a
Colonial Day to be something like
an eighteenth century country fair
with anything anyone wants to do.
Our idea is that all appropriate
activities would be scheduled
during the same stretch of one or
two weeks, the better to concen-
trate our attention on the Constitu-
tion, so pre-arrangements
through us are essential.

Fellow subjects of the rule of
law, we hope all of you will start
thinking "birthday." There are no
two more important institutions in
our lives now than Agnes Scott

and the Constitution let's think
about what that means, and
above all, let's have some fun
doing it! Please let me know if you
would like to help. Our group will
be coordinating any and all
activities on the theme just tell
us what you're thinking. Our motto
will be, No idea too big, no project
too silly!

Thank you, editor, and thanks
for your support.
Sincerely,

Dr. Sally MacEwen

The Purpose
of Escorts

Dear Editor:

Apparently, there remains some
confusion as to the meaning of
Public Safety escorts, especially
as it pertains to the use of our
patrol vehicle for these purposes.
Students, staff and faculty are
entitled to such services on a
need-available basis. This simply
means that an officer/vehicle may
not be available at the very instant
a need arises. Officers must
prioritise according to the particu-
lar call(s) they are assigned.
Although an escort is normally
considered to be such a priority
(especially those awaiting escort
from MARTA), emergencies may

arise without warning and may
involve the vehicle as well as
more than one officer. Remember
these are Police Officers who
have been employed by the
College to provide a wide range
of safety, security and law enforce-
ment duties and responsibilities.

The purpose of any escort (foot
or vehicle) is to provide security,
not transportation in lieu of a taxi.
As police officers of this depart-
ment, they are not here to handle
baggage and shuttle passengers
to and from Public Transportation.
They are also not here to provide
transportation for students and
their dates. They are here to
provide an escort to any student,
staff or faculty member to or from
any perimeter parking (Candler,
Tennis Courts, or Physical Plant)
and to or from the Decatur MARTA
Station - during the hours of
darkness (dusk to dawn). Excep-
tions will be made for those
traveling to or from off campus
employment (within 500 yards of
Campus) who do not have alter-
nate means of transportation
during inclement weather. The
only remaining stipulation is that
we will not transport more than
two individuals at any given time
since three or more represent
their own security as a group.
Respectfully submitted,
WJ. Korth

Director of Public Safety

HEALTH NOTES

by Mary Lu Christiansen, CFNP

As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, outdoor
activities begin to increase. However, all those "fun-in-the-sun"
events can also lead to a potential danger, skin cancer. Over
400,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Of this
number, 5,500 persons will die this year of melanoma, the most
serious form of skin cancer. Fortunately, all the information regarding
skin cancer is not grjm. Skin cancer is one of the most curable
forms of cancer if detected early. There are also many things a
person can do to prevent skin cancer.

Persons most likely to develop skin cancer include light or
fair-skinned blondes and red-heads, those exposed to increased
amounts of sunlight, and those who sunburn easily. People living
in cities of higher altitudes (such as Atlanta) are also a greater risk
because even less of the sun's ultraviolet rays are filtered.

Common sense is the best form of prevention. This doesn't mean
you have to give up the beach, tennis or other activities, but as with
everything else in life, moderation is the key. Protect your skin from
sunburn. When the skin is sunburned, the risk of skin cancer can
increase by as much as 50%. Use sunscreens with a Sun Protective
Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. This increases the amount of time that
can be spent in the sun without burning the skin. Ideally, sunscreens
should be applied daily, year-round to the face, ear tips, hands, and
forearms since these areas are constantly exposed to the sun. This
repeated and prolonged exposure increases the risk of a cancer
developing, making these areas the most common sites for skin
cancer. Tanning beds and sun lamps do not eliminate the risks of
skin cancer. This type of equipment can be as harmful as the sun
because they use ultraviolet rays which can damage the skin.

Early detection of skin cancer increases the chances for
successful treatment of it. Do a monthly self-exam of the skin. Notice
any moles, birthmarks, or any skin lesion. If any of these blemishes
change in color, size or shape, have your physician check it.

Enjoy the outdoors, but always keep in mind that while the fresh
air and sunshine are beneficial, unprotected skin is at increased
risk for skin cancer. Today's sunburn or "healthy tan" may be a very
serious problem tomorrow. Be smart protect your skin.

College Campuses Observe "Condom Week"

Charges flew, government
agencies feuded and college
students nationwide got all sorts
of free prophylactics as "National
Condom Week" unfolded.

While such weeks in years past
have gone largely unnoticed, the
panic about AIDS (acquired im-
mune deficiency syndrome) this
year made Condom Week
originally invented by prophylactic
manufacturers and Planned
Parenthood as a way to promote
birth control a cause celebre on
many campuses.

The Gay-Lesbian Student As-
sociation at the University of
Nebraska, for instance, had to get
a court order to distribute free
condoms on campus.

University of Minnesota officials
decided that making students
aware of AIDS danger was worth
defying a state law that restricts
condom distribution on public
property.

The American College Health
Association, a group representing
campus health clinics around the
country, distributed 'AIDS Infor-
mation Kits" that included a
condom to various campuses,
provoking some conservative
groups to protest there was no
need to demonstrate AIDS infor-
mation so graphically.

"Condom mania, which is what
I see around in some quarters
right now, will not save our
children." U.S. Educations Sec.
William Bennett said in Austin.
Texas, last week.

Bennett and U.S. Surgeon
General Everett Koop traded
opinions all during the week. Koop
generally favors discussing AIDS
in sex education courses as

early as third grade, while
Bennett generally wants to direct
the discussion of how to avoid
AIDS more at encouraging
"monogamous, mutually faithful
relationships."

"AIDS," Bennett said in Texas,
"is just one more compelling
reason for discouraging sexual
activity among children. To be
fixated on condoms as the answer
is a mistake."

Nevertheless, condoms as a
tool to prevent AIDS was the focus
on most campuses.

A Standford student group
distributed 500 condom samples
in different colors, textures and
flavors as part of an AIDS Educa-
tion Project.

Cal-Berkeley. Dartmouth. Rut-
gers and Maryland all approved
passing out "Safe Sex" kits that
included condoms. Tulane's pro-
gram included putting condoms,
vaginal jellies and "safe sex"
literature in lunch bags
emblazoned with words "Condom
Sense, "says Deborah Blom of
the American College Health
Association.

A number of other colleges
chose the week to announce they
installed condom dispensers in
campus restrooms and omnibus
AIDS education courses in the
curricula.

The Rev. Fred Tondalo. head of
AIDS Center One in Fort Lauder-
dale, Fla.. publicly asked area
hotels to distribute free condoms
to students as they check in for
their spring breaks.

Some student health centers
began offering free, anonymous
testing.

Such services, says Scott

Aguilar of Southern Cal, which
now offers free AIDS tests, are
necessary because the numbers
of heterosexual and homosexual
males contracting the AIDS virus
will soon be equal.

While Aguilar says the medical
community generally agrees that*
college students having sex only
with other college students are in
a relatively safe group, there is
room for worry.

It may be only a matter of time
before AIDS begins to spread in
the college population, says Dr.
Joy L. Greenway of the University
of Arizona's student health service.

At the University of Miami's
Comprehensive AIDS program,
Director Dick lacino warns, "With
unprotected intercourse vaginal
or anal you're getting into very
high-risk areas. Know your part-
ner or partners well, and adopt
safer sex practices. The HIV virus
(that causes AIDS) does not
cross barrier contraceptives, i.e.:
condoms."

Jacino adds there's no way to
choose a "safe" sex partner.
Not everyone who carries the
virus has AIDS, or is sick in any
way.

"You could be standing next to
the healthiest hunk and he could
be zero-positive (be exposed to
fighting the HIVvirus). Meanwhile,
he could infect you, " lacino says.

Still other schools South
Dakota. Oklahoma and Georgia,
among them used the week to
announce they were proceeding
with efforts to form campuswide
AIDS policies.

The above article was a College
Press Service release.

Rep. Surveys Health Services

by Carolyn Weaver

It has come to the attention of
Rep Council that some students
are concerned with the quality of
health services offered at Agnes
Scott. Rep has discussed this
concern and last fall sent a survey
to 21 colleges of comparative size
to Agnes Scott. Thirteen schools
responded, many offering sug-
gestions and some requesting to
see the results of our survey. Pat
Murray director of ASC*s health
center, also completed a question-
naire raising the total number of
schools responding to fourteen.

The results are compiled ir
chart form by dividing the informa
tion into four categories: budget
staff, lab work, and services
provided. However, many of the
questions do not allow for simple
"yes'* or "no" answers, and thus
the results are charted according
to the best interpretation. Further,
several colleges did not respond
to one or more questions and one
school neglected to return an
entire page of the questionnaire.

These discrepancies hinder, to
a degree, the accuracy of the
findings.

First, the survey inquired about
each school's size, the cost of
room and board, and the health
center budget. Agnes Scott,
having a total enrollment of 500,
is one of the smaller schools
surveyed. The surveyed enroll-
ment range is 392-2600. (These
numbers represent both non-
resident and boarding students.
Therefore, the student health
center is likely to serve 10-20o
fewer students.) The cost of room
and board at Agnes Scott is
comparable to the colleges that
responded to this question. As of
March 17, ASC's room and board
is S3310; for other institutions, it
is S2500-S4628. It is difficult to
compare the health center
budgets for the various colleges
because some did not answer the
question, some gave only a total
figure, and some gave only
percentages. Also, for at least two
institutions (including ASC),
money for staff salaries (not
referrals) comes from a com-
cont'd. on page 6

On April 1, in Maclean Au-
ditorium, Professor William Chafe
of Duke University spoke to the
Agnes Scott community. The
lecture was sponsored by the
College Events Committee and
the History Department. Dr. Chafe
offered a historical perspective on
the Women's and the Civil Rights
movements and analyzed the
progress and present conditions
of women and blacks in the United
States today.

Dr. Chafe began his discussion
with an analysis of the concepts
of liberty and equality. He em-
phasized that these two terms are
both compatible and complemen-
tary, and are essential in an
oppressed group's struggle for
freedom. Dr. Chafe focused on
the history of the Women's Move-
ment as he described the 1848
Women's Rights meeting in
Seneca Falls. He explained that
the original goais of this move-
ment were to stop the treatment
of women as separate and apart
from men. This fight for equality
aimed to change the individual's
experience as a woman. Specific
customs which needed changing
were targeted.

The Civil Rights Movement,
according to Dr. Chafe, also
began as a struggle for liberty and
equality in an individual way The
four black youths that began by
sitting at a "whites only" lunch
counter in Greensboro. North
Carolina were fighting to be
treated equally but they were also
beginning what would become a
national movement for a collective
equality.

Dr. Chafe discussed the fact
that as the Civil Rights and
Women's movements progressed
in the 1960s, the leaders strug-
gled with the issue of solidarity.
This may have led to a separate-
ness in which blacks and women
were working toward similar goals
but were not working together.
However, Dr. Chafe explained,
with the leadership of those
people such as Dr. Martin Luther

Capping is a very
old (or is it odd)
tradition at
Agnes Scott.
Members of the
Junior class
performed for
capping during
the Kaleidescope
picnic on
Thursday, April
19th.

King Jr., the goals of the Civil
Rights Movement became
broader than racial equality,
focusing on systemic problems
that led to oppression.

Dr. Chafe explained that the Civil
Rights Movement began to fight
for a more collective sense of
equality "Which focused on com-
plex social issues. The assassina-
tion of Dr. King and President
Kennedy in 1968 contributed to
the anger that accompanied the
later part of the Civil Rights
Movement.

In the second part of the lecture.
Dr. Chafe discussed the outcome
of both the Civil Rights and
Women's Movements. The
Women's Movement was the only
movement which survived and
continued into the 70s and 80s
explained Dr. Chafe. He dis-
cussed the goals of feminists: to
challenge the whole structure of
society and to create new values
which are not defined by men.

Dr. Chafe explained many of
the legislative victories of the Civil
Rights Movement, calling these
victories "extraordinary." He com-
pared the conditions of blacks
and women before and after the
respective movements, offering
the following statistics: in 1960,
there were one quarter of a million
blacks in college, by 1970 there
had been a 500o increase; in
1960, under 60o of white families
were two income families, now
85o of white families have two
incomes; in 1968, 5o of all law
school students were women,
now 40o are women. Blacks and
women have also risen to promi-
nent positions in politics and all
professional fields.

Dr. Chafe also discussed some
of the areas in which blacks and
women have not had significant
gains since the 60s: in 1954
unemployment for blacks was
only slightly higher than it was for
whites, in 1987 it is almost twice
as high; in 1987 25% of all female-
headed households live in pov-
erty. Dr. Chafe explained that the
Women's and Civil Rights Move-

ments have created an "extraordi-
nary range of opportunities for
those who are college educated
and financially secure." Unfortu-
nately it seems that gender and
race barriers have been taken
down for only part of our society
and that horrible oppression still
exists in the 1980s.

Dr. Chafe concluded his talk by
again emphasizing the impor-
tance of liberty and equality. He
expressed the need for people to
see individualism as something
collective. He said that it was
essential "to see individual free-
dom as hand and hand to collec-
tive advancement." Dr. Chafe
explained that until people came
to this realization, only a small
number of the goals of the Civil
Rights Movement will have been
achieved.

A question and answer session
followed the lecture in which Dr.
Chafe spoke about affirmative
action, the ERA. and his feelings
on women's colleges. College
Events Committee and the His-
tory Department hosted a recep-
tion in the Alumnae House for Dr.
Chafe and Agnes Scott faculty
and students. Students were able
to ask more extensive questions
at the reception and in several
history classes on the following
day in which Dr. Chafe lectured.

Dr. William Chafe received his
undergraduate degree from Har-
vard University and his Ph.D. from
Columbia. He is currently a
Professor of History at Duke
University. Dr. Chafe teaches
American History and Women's
History and is also director of The
Women's Studies Research
Center. He has lectured all over
the world and taught American
studies in Finland for a year. Dr.
Chafe is the author of several
books including: The American
Woman: Her Changing Social,
Economic, and Political Roles
from 1920-1970; Civilities and
Civil Rights: Greensboro North
Carolina and the Black Struggle
for Freedom, and his latest, The
Unfinished Journey: the United
States Since 1945.

Students Attend BSOWC Conference

by Peggy Harper

Students participate in "Bullets and Ballots" on April 4th.

"Bullets and Ballots"

by Phyllis Heaton

On April 4th, the Global Aware-
ness and Political Science Depart-
ments of Agnes Scott College
co-sponsered a political simula-
tion game called "Bullets and
Ballots." The game was presented
by the Roosevelt Center for
American Policy Studies. The
Center is sponsoring a national
campaign designed to promote
citizen awareness about the
policy choices faced by the United
States in Central America.

"Bullets and Ballots" was di-
rected by Mark Rovner who also
designed the game. Students and
faculty from Georgia State Univer-
sity, Agnes Scott College,
Moorehouse College and Ken-
nesaw College were assigned to
play the roles of the Guatemalan
government officials, military,
peasants, and guerrillas as well
as members of United States
government. The simulated

scenario was three 15 minute
"months" prior to an election.
Each team was handed a sheet
of rules and strategy to direct their
negotiations with the other teams
so that they could make a public
position statement at the end of
each "month". However, the out-
come of the political maneuvering
was ultimately determined by the
draw of a card.

The tremendous power of the
United States was quickly obvious
to all the team players. The game
also emphasized the issues of
justice, violence, and democracy
that are of concern to Central
American countries and United
States foreign policy.

At the conclusion of the game,
a vote by the "Bullets and Ballots"
players determined that if given
the opportunity to make United
States policy for Guatemala, they
would only send conditional
economic aide.

"Bullets and Ballots" was enter-
taining, educational, and thought
provoking for those involved.

Shulman Speaks on "Women in Politics"

by Sarah Jewett
and Sarah Napier

On Tuesday, April 7th, Sherry
Shulman, DeKalb County Com-
missioner, addressed a group of
Agnes Scott students. The lecture

Shern Shulman

was sponsored by Waging Peace.
Ms. Shulman spoke about her
own career, first as an Agnes
Scott RTC student and then as an
Emory student. When her college
days were over, she worked as a
lobbyist at the Georgia General
Assembly and in 1984 was
elected as Commissioner for
Dekalb County.

Ms. Shulman discussed her
role in protesting the Presidential
Parkway, which, if constructed,
would run through Dekalb county.
She has also been very influential
in the development of The
Women's Resource Center of
Dekalb County, which will provide
a safety shelter for battered
women and children, a 24 hour
hotline, and other supportive
services. At this point, $92,000
has been given to the shelter by
Dekalb County in addition to
private donations. The Center has
hired a director and is in the
process of acquiring a location for
the shelter. Prior to the organiza-
tion of the Resource Center, Ms.
Shulman coordinated a task force
for domestic violence in DeKalb

On Friday, April 3, 1987, six
members of the Agnes Scott
community attended the Sixth
Annual Black Students on White
Campus' conference held at
Georgia State University. The
group included one member of
Inter-Dorm Council, four mem-
bers of Students for Black Aware-
ness and one staff member. The
lectures and workshops, lead by
faculty from Georgia State Univer-
sity, the University of Alabama,
the University of Georgia, and the
University of South Carolina,
focused on methods for improv-
ing white student, staff and
faculty relationships with minority
students.

Through the interchange during
the question and answer sessions
after each lecture, participants
were able to share their experi-
ences with the multitude of issues
that face black students on white
campuses, and others shared the
solutions that had worked on their
campuses. The major issues
discussed were institutional rac-
ism, monocultural curriculum,
expectations and attitudes of
white professors toward minority
students, and lack of support
services for minority students.
Solutions presented were that
minority students must become
more vocal in their demands for
minority participation in all forms
of campus life.

No school in the 1980s should
be without an adequate comple-
ment of black faculty and staff
and, according to Dean Ralph
Johnson from the University of
South Carolina, "Minority Affairs
Dean is almost always needed."
He also said that those adminis-
trations that contend that black
faculty and deans are "... a
scapegoat for minority students
. . should be told "Black faculty
and staff are not just role models
for black students but for all
students since they enrich the
experience of all students by their
presence."

He emphasized that there is
much black students can do to
improve the climate on their
campuses. First, they should
encourage dialogue, especially
on the subject of race, to encour-
age black and white students to
discuss how they feel about
issues pertaining to minority
students. Second, black students
must be visible on their cam-
puses. Their events should be
well publicized and white students
must be encouraged to attend

them. Third, black students must
get involved in the community
wnere the college is located to
assist with their own visibility and
make use of community-based
organizations, such as the
NAACR to help in seeking change
where change is needed. Fourth,
black students must be recog-
nized for their contributions to the
college community. If the students
currently feel they are not being
recognized, they should develop
their own awards and separate
honors program if necessary.
Lastly, black students must
achieve academic excellence.
Mediocrity must be considered
unacceptable.

Dean Johnson commented that
one of the best ways to open
dialogue is by getting already
established organizations "that
never come together" to jointly
sponsor a campus event, or to
hold a joint meeting where the
organizations can have internal
dialogue among the group. In
answer to a question from the
floor regarding white participation
in black organizations, Dean
Johnson replied that there was
nothing wrong with whites belong-
ing to black organizations so long
as ". . . white students are not
seen as legitimizers of black
demands and desires."

The highlight of the evening
was the keynote address by The
Honorable Shirley Chisholm,
whose topic was "Seeking Har-
mony." Mrs. Chisholm gave a brief
history of black concerns over the
years and stated that now in the
1980s she is seeing a disruptive
force overtake the strides made
in the '60s and 70s. "As I travel
around the country, visiting col-
lege campuses, I have been
witnessing the damaging and
defacing of black fraternity and
sorority houses, the confronta-
tions occurring between blacks
and whites regularly and the non-
communication between black
and white students on college
campuses. The ideals and goals
of the '60s and '70s are being
stifled by inequality, injustice and
hatred. We are seeing a retreat
from the gains made during the
civil rights era coupled with
isolation and scapegoating." She
commented that during the civil
rights era whenever these kinds
of happenings occurred, the
Justice Department quickly inves-
tigated, but "today, with the
amount of violence towards
blacks escalating. Meese is silent
... his silence is tacit approval,
sends a signal that all must be
well. On college campuses, there
can be no silence in the face of

this."

Congresswoman Chisholm re-
minded the packed, standing-
room-only crowd. "We live in a
multi-faceted society with many
grievances to be corrected. Black
student leadership that has faith
in self and God must reach out to
white society and say 'we've got
to come together.' Black students
cannot hate white students be-
cause people are what they are,
because of their heritage and
supplemented by their experi-
ence. If they appear uneasy or
afraid to approach [black stu-
dents] or, in innocence, say
something that is negative to us.
we must not be negative or hateful
because the fires of racism are
going to be put out by us once
again." Mrs. Chisholm indicated
that white students were not really
participants in the academic
expansion of the '60s perhaps
because the white college admin-
istrations felt it was a "black
student problem." She said that
courses in race relations and
black studies should be required,
that no college should be without
a black studies program, and that
". . . because the overwhelming
majority [of white students] will
not take them [courses in black
studies and race relations], ad-
ministrators need to mandate that
certain courses must be taken at
some time before graduation."

On Saturday morning, April 4.
1986, six members of SBA, two
members of SGA, one member of
Honor Court and one member of
InterDorm. along with one staff
member from Agnes Scott, at-
tended the closing session of the
conference, entitled "Free Your
Mind. Return to the Source-
African Origins." a lecture/slide
presentation by Dr. Asa Hilliard.
Professor of Urban Education at
Georgia State University. Dr.
Hilliard said that the biggest
problem for black society is not
segregation or slaving, but the
mental diet of junk food blacks
have been living on.

During the Wrap-up and Evalu-
ation session, the conference
sponsors acknowledged the pres-
ence of white students, faculty
and staff at the conference.
Stressing the need for black
students to develop all their
resources when they return to
their respective campuses, they
asked that those participating this
year encourage the white stu-
dents and faculty at their respec-
tive institutions to participate more
fully next year since "the confer-
ence is really for them, so they
can learn about minority students."

County, which investigated the
problem from various angles and
compiled an extensive report to
present to the DeKalb County
Commission.

Ms. Shulman spoke about the
importance of women's involve-
ment on the political scene. She
emphasized that there is a great
need for people who are sensitive
to women's issues to have access
to money and power in politics.
She encouraged Agnes Scott
women to pursue careers in
politics, locally and nationally

Ms. Shulman opened the floor
for questions, and the group
discussed issues such as surro-
gate motherhood and the new
direction of the women's move-
ment. As a speaker, Ms. Shulman
exhibited tremendous vitality and
a strong commitment to women's

issues. Waging Peace was ex-
tremely pleased to have Sherry
Shulman speak at Agnes Scott.

Visiting the Third World Changes Students' Perspectives

Survey Continued

Dr. John Studstill. Director of the Global Awareness program w ill be teaching
in Burkina Fa SO.

Hamm Wins Fellowship

by Debbie L. Strickland

The Global Awareness program
at Agnes Scott has caught the
imaginations of students who
wish to experience first hand a
different culture. Many choose to
go to Western nations like Britain
and Spain, but some prefer to
endure the hardships of life in a
third world country for five weeks
and then return to the United
States with altered values and
new attitudes about politics and
world events. Last summer stu-
dents traveled to India and Mexico
and returned, changed in pro-
found ways.

"I will read the newspaper in a
different way." says one partici-
pant. Another stated that "All of
India can be read about in a book,
but the experiences I acquired
firsthand will have an impact on
me for the rest of my life." These
students were shocked by their
first exposure to dire poverty and
injustice.

They felt the "awareness" of the
program's title as they completely
submerged themselves in a
strange world dominated by

Rep's Health

pletely different budget. The
Agnes Scott health center works
with an annual sum of roughly
$20,000 distributed as follows:
60% for referrals, 40% used as
needed for education, upkeep,
and new equipment.

The colleges were questioned
about the health center staff and
consultants. Those responding
have an average of 6.5 staff
members; ASC has an average of
7 + . Note that these numbers
include referrals, receptionists,
secretaries, and student workers
and, therefore, are not indicative
of the exact number of people
available to serve students med-
ically.

All the colleges have one or
more doctors on staff at least for
consultation. Five out of the
fourteen have Nurse Practitioners
as part of their staff. ASC has two
Nurse Practitioners who work 55
hours combined per week. There
is a distinction between a Nurse
Practitioner and a Registered
Nurse. An NP has a higher level
of training than does an RN. NP's
are authorized to prescribe medi-
cation under the parameters of
established protocols whereas an
RN is not. Finally, an NP may
have his/her own private practice.

It seems that students are
concerned about the equipment
that the ASC health center owns
and operates. The survey inquired
about certain lab services and
asked schools to note equipment
that "helps you provide the ser-
vices which make you more than
a referral service." The lab ser-
vices available and the equipment
used at all 14 colleges is quite
similar. All do throat cultures on
campus and most (including ASC)
process the cultures on campus.
Six (including ASC) do blood tests
on campus. Smith College alone
has the equipment to perform and
process x-rays on the college

monsoons, oppressive heat, and
day-to-day survival. Karen
Younger's trip made her "much
more aware of the world around
me and has caused me to re-think
and reassess my values and
goals."

Other Global Awareness stu-
dents went to Mexico for the
summer to study the Mexican
language, culture, and history.
The trip was described by Charna
Hollingsworth in the article
'Mexico Musings" as "the most
interesting month of our college
careers." The group visited ruins,
murals, the World Cup Soccer
Tournament, and even Acupulco."

They did. however, see many
unpleasant sights as well, such
as the devastation of the Mexico
City earthquake, "poverty to
extremes which many people in
this country will never see, and
the waste of human potential
brought on by a blatantly corrupt
government." Charna says that
the students benefitted from this
exposure to another way of life,
for they "shared in the way that
another society lives, gained
better insight as to why some

grounds. The ASC health center
has "lab equipment for on site
preparation and/or processing of
lab tests (microscope, centrifuge,
autoclave, incubator)." Also, it is
equipped for a full physical
examination, and is stocked
with some sample prescription
medicines.

Various health services are
offered by the institutions
surveyed, including OB/GYN
services, psychiatric services,
allergy shots, emergency rides to
hospitals, overnight services, and
the availability of professionals on
call after hours. ASC is in the
majority of schools (9 out of 14)
that offer OB/GYN services.
Agnes Scott and two other
colleges noted that they offer
psychiatric help through the
health center or the Dean of
Students' office. At ASC. one may
also receive psychological
counseling on campus by
contacting the Reverend Miriam
Dunson or Margaret Shirley, the
new counselor. Interestingly.
Agnes Scott is the only college
that does not provide allergy shots
to students.

Most colleges. ASC included,
deal with the provision of emer-
gency rides to hospitals. ASC's
department of Public Safety will
provide rides.

A wide range of overnight and
on call services are provided by
the health centers. Only three
(ASC, Mary Baldwin, Queens) do
not have some professional who
is on call when the infirmary is
closed. Agnes Scott does not
provide any overnight services.
(Although the college is in the
process of designing an on call
system for next year.) St. Mary's
College has a nurse on call after
hours who can stay overnight if
needed. Peace College provides
24 hour bedside nursing care
Sunday p.m. through Thursday

things are done the way they are
and " changed "preconceived
ideas."

This year there are two trips to
developing countries. Burkina
Faso and Peru. Sharon Wallace,
a junior who designed her political
science-economics major, is one
of the students going to Burkina
Faso from July 1 to August 10.
They will be studying with Dr. John
Studstill, director of the program
and professor of anthropology,
and Dr. Sally Davenport, profes-
sor of political science.

Burkina Faso, an African na-
tion, has seen some tumultuous
political changes over the past
decade, but has recently begun
to make strides toward democrati-
zation and free enterprise. Sharon
Wallace believes that the people
of Burkina Faso can "teach me
about life because these people
struggle every day." She admires
these valiant people who accept
no foreign aid and strive to make
political and economic reforms
work.

In the future, as more and more
Agnes Scott students experience
third world cultures, the campus
will come to be truly, globally
"aware."

p.m. Of the fourteen, only Sweet
Briar and Davidson Colleges have
health centers that are open 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
Davidson also has a doctor on
call 24 hours, 7 days per week,
22 beds, and a kitchen which
serves three meals a day.

The ASC health center has
made several changes recently
and plans are underway for
further improvements. One
change this year is the weekly
campus visits made by Dr.
Spruell. He sees students (at no
charge) by appointment only and
consults with Pat Murray about
special cases. The infirmary
serves the students through
printed material. Articles and
editorials occasionally appear in
The Profile, and special notices
are sent out as needed (for
example the recent parasitic
information). Also, a growing
supply of educational material is
available in the health center. A
suggestion box is located in the
infirmary lobby. All suggestions
are evaluated and a response will
be made if a student so desires.
The staff welcomes ideas and
suggestions, verbal and written,
and requests that they be notified
of any problems (on campus or
with referrals).

The results of the survey show
that Agnes Scott's health center
stands in a comparatively good
position with those of similar
colleges. It does have its prob-
lems and shortcomings. Rep
initiated the survey to find out how
other small schools handle the
health concerns of their students
and to enable the ASC community
to view its own health services in
a realistic light. Rep hopes that
the results of this survey will lead
to the actualization of realistic
goals, the illumination of problem
areas, and a more positive yet
realistic attitude.

Margaret Hamm, a 1987
chemistry major, has been
awarded a President's Fellowship
at the Georgia Institute of Technol-
ogy beginning with the Summer
Quarter 1987.

President's fellowships were
established by President Joseph
M. Pettit in 1973 to enhance the
scope and quality of Georgia
Tech's Ph.D. programs. Through
the continued support of the
Georgia Tech Foundation, Presi-
dent's Fellowships are offered
annually to a select dumber of
highly qualified U.S. Nationals
who intend to pursue advanced
degrees, preferably to the doc-
toral level. Fellowship recipients
bring exemplary levels of scholar-
ship and innovation to the gradu-
ate schools who host their study

and education. In turn, the Fellow-
ship program enables these
students to prepare themselves
with a minimum of delay for
outstanding careers in the disci-
plines of their choice.

Competition is keen for these
awards. Selections are based on
each student's application, tran-
scripts, biographical sketch, let-
ters of recommendation, stand-
ardized test scores and educa-
tional goals.

The awarding and acceptance
of the President's Fellowship
represents a mutual honor for the
recipient and for Georgia Tech.
Offers are made only to graduate
students who can bring the
highest level of academic excel-
lence, enthusiasm and research
potential to Tech's graduate pro-
grams.

fEAIURES

ASC's Externs and Interns Advance Career Goals

by Debbie L. Strickland

Agnes Scott's Career Planning
and Placement Office offers a
huge array of programs for stu-
dents to explore various career
options. Among these are the
internship program, the ex-
ternship program, and the
shadow program. Over spring
break, 34 students participated in
what Amy Schmidt describes as
Agnes Scott's "very successful"
externship program. Students
spent one week with sponsors in
their fields of interest. Sponsors
included doctors, astronomers,
businesses, and government
agencies.' Ten students travelled
to other cities like Columbia, SC,
Hollywood, FL, Chicago, and New
York City. Exploring in depth their
career interests, these students
worked closely with their sponsors.

During the week they found the
answers to several questions:
What is it really like to work every
day in this profession? Would I
enjoy this kind of work? Would I
like to work around this kind of
person? In many cases, the
answer to these questions was
yes. Many students reaffirmed
their commitments to certain
careers. Some, however, discov-
ered that their interests lay else-
where, but were grateful for the
opportunity to to make that impor-
tant discovery and move on.

The externship program was
begun during the 1979-1980
academic year and since then

Ann Schmidt. Agnes Scott's Director of Career Planning and Placement, helps
students find internships and externships.

'freshmen to take advantage of

over 230 students have partici-
pated. This year 47 students
responded to the annual Extern-
O-Gram and applied, and 33
students were placed. Lynn
Wilson, an enterprising junior,
created her own externship with
a doctor in Lynchburg, VA.

One new and unusual aspect
of this year's program was the
strong presence of freshmen, who
made up twelve of the 33 externs.
Amy Schmidt, the director of the
Career Planning and Placement
Office, attributes the high number
of freshman to a "change in
philosophy." Because she wanted

these programs.'* for the first time
the CP&P office did not favor
upperclassmen in its placement
of externs. In previous years, if a
freshman and an upperclassman
were equally qualified, the office
would award the position to the
upperclassman.

Amy Schmidt, who became the
CP&P director last August,
changed the old biased policies
because she believes that early
experience can be a pivotal factor
in academic and career choices.
If, as a freshman, a student can

learn that a career is either
suitable or unsuitable, she can
better plan her future coursework
and internships. Ms. Schmidt
believes that it is unwise for
students to "put things off until
senior year," and she is "delighted"
by the freshman participation.

In cases in which more than
one student sought a position,
Ms. Schmidt asked the sponsor if
he or she would be willing to take
an additional extern. Many spon-
sors responded positively to this
request, and were impressed by
the increased interest. Some-
times, when there was not a
position that meets a student's
particular interests, Ms. Schmidt
would use her contacts and the
Yellow Pages to find a potential
sponsor, and says that she "usu-
ally got good receptions." The
people were "very impressed and
happy to be a part" of this
program. They were eagarto work
with bright students who were
motivated enough to commit their
spring break to an unpaid job.

Another, more familiar program
of the Career Planning and
Placement Office is the internship
program, which allows a student
to spend an entire summer or
semester working in the profes-
sion of her choice. To obtain an
internship a student must simply
go to the CP&P office, inquire
about the positions available, and
find one that suits her qualifica-
tions and interests. Then she must
do the paperwork, return it, and
wait for the sponsor's decision.

Some internships are paid, but

some are not, so some students
must carefully consider whether
they can sacrifice unpaid working
hours to participate. The experi-
ence from an unpaid position may
help a student obtain a paid
position later: Often, sponsors
offer their interns permanent jobs.

This semester Agnes Scott
students are interning at busi-
nesses like Eastern Air Lines and
Southern Homes magazine.
Others have positions at the
Federal Reserve Bank, which is
perhaps the most sought after
position, the Atlanta Botanical
Gardens, and the Canadian
Consulate.

The office has plenty of informa-
tion about summer internships,
but time is running out so anyone
interested should get the forms
before the semester ends.

One other career exploration
program of the CP&P office is the
shadow program, which allows
students to observe a sponsor at
work for one day. Over 150
sponsors are currently available,
and the office will endeavor to
find others to meet the indi-
vidual's needs. The shadow pro-
gram has not been as well
publicized as some of the others,
but Ms. Schmidt says that next fall
the program will receive more
attention.

Any student who is interested
in these programs or just in
general career counseling can
contact the Career Planning and
Placement Office to discuss her
situation with a counselor.

RTCs Tapped Into Mortar Board

by Linda Florence

Call me old-fashioned and
sentimental, but some of the
traditions around Agnes Scott are
very special. As an RTC, I am not
on campus for many of the
ceremonies that build the
memories not associated with the
classroom, so I've missed celebra-
tions such as bonfires. Black Cat
games, capping, talent shows,
and skits. However, Mortar Board
tapping was an exception to the
rule and what an exception it
was.

As I stood in a circle on the
quad surrounded by fellow stu-
dents, the air of excitement and
mystery rose as old Mortar Board

members walked in holding can-
dles. This small group robed in
black sang the traditional Mortar
Board group song as they walked
around (and around and around)
the inside of the circle.

Suddenly they stopped and
gathered in their own circle facing
us. One by one each robed figure
walked alone around the circle.
Tension was relieved only by an
occasional giggle or cough, until
the figure stopped in front of the
new member. Slowly she raised
her candle and called out a name.
Applause and yells filled the air
as both returned to the inner

circle

Explantions fall short of the
actual experience I know, but
suffice it to say: Go next year.

Out of the 22 new Mortar Board
members, five are RTCs. The
amount of participation in campus
life and the level of commitment
RTCs offer has grown steadily
over the past few years. You can
congratulate Pat Grant, Phyllis
Heaton, Betsi Wilson. Dana
Keller, and Linda Florence when
you see them. And when they ask
you to get involved in some aspect
of campus life next year, follow
their example- Sav VF.^

Mortar Board Holds First Meeting

by Debbie Strickland

On April 7 the 1987-88 Mortar
Board held its first meeting and
according to Beth Leonard took
care of "housekeeping." They
chose a faculty adviser, whom
they will not name until she
decides if she wants the job. They
also discussed the next Mortar
Board Lecture, which will be held
on April 27 at 8:15 in MacLean,
and planned a party for the old
Mortar Board after the lecture.
They named Lynn Wilson their
delegate to the national conven-

tion and appointed Julie Kalendek
chair of the Publicity Committee.

President Beth Leonard says
that she is "really optimistic" about
Mortar Board's future. She thinks
they "have a lot of members who'll
work well together." This year's
Board, with 21 members, is larger
than usual, and also, according to
Leonard, very enthusiastic. She
reports that many students were
volunteering for projects and that
although all of them are "busy,
they are all willing to devote time"
to Board activities.

Each year's Mortar Board is
elected by the previous year's
board to this most prestigious

organization. The qualifications of
the board members include out-
standing academic and extracur-
ricular achievement. The mem-
bers of the 1987-88 Mortar Board
are: Elizabeth Adams, Linda
Florence, Amy Gottsche, Pat
Grant, Claire Guitton, Julie
Hartline, Phyllis Heaton, Angela
Howard, Julie Kalendek, Dana
Keller, Beth Land, Krista Lankford.

Creative Corner

by Dolly Hemmingpath

It was a lovely day in Spring.
The sun shone brightly. A young
collegiate sat on the quad. It was
a good and fine quad. She had
just returned from class. It was a
good and true Comparative Waste
Treatment Plant class. The profes-
sor had told of many intriguing
things. She was not thinking of
what the professor had said. She
dreamed, instead, of her lover. He
was a strong, fine, and good lover.
He inspired her. She awakened.
It was a good sleep. She had slept
making no mistakes. The young
woman looked across the quad-
rangle. The squirrels ran. They
were strong squirrels. The rodents

had nuts stored in their mouths
The nuts were from the newly
budded and fruited trees that tenc
to bear nuts (during a fine anc
good season). The woman's hair
was bleached by the sun. It was
a hot, Georgia sun. The tan line
left by her socks was beginning
to fade. It is good for a tan line to
fade. She procrastinated . It is fine
to procrastinate. Spring brings
procrastination with the flowering
of the jonquils. It is pleasant when
the jonuqils bloom, for spring lurks
around the corner (particularly
when she carries with her the
fever of the young at heart). Come
fair Spring and lose us from the
wretched grips of Winter. Bring to
us the maladies of love and joy. It
is good to be in love experiencing
the ecstasy ... of joy.

Centennial Class Receives Agnes Scott Rings

by Elsa Jann

On the first Friday in April, those
lovable and warm Cheshire cats
of the Class of '89 received their
long-awaited class rings. Eighty-
eight sophomores" hearts filled
with pride at the end result of
months of work by their beloved
ring committee and by Jostens. a
jewelry company which had not
designed the Agnes Scott ring for
years. They were especially proud
and happy with the font of the
letters on their ring, which were
actually designed by the ring
committee chair, Caroline Lewis.
Ring committee also chose a
special look for their year of
graduation; they surrounded the
"89" with a distinctive "C" for one
hundred. Truly, the beautiful ring
is a result of many original and
brave decisions by the Cheshire
Cat's ring committee.

A sight seen often in the past

week on the Agnes Scott campus
is young women looking intently
at one of their fingers, and then
rubbing it very precisely It seems
that the ring is so overwhelming,
the sophomores can't keep their
paws off of it. The result is huge
pawprints all over the rings,
something no cat can allow!
Felrese Bradshaw provides this
class with a very feline solution:
licking the ring is the best way to
get rid of fingerprints. ThaoTu had
another solution. She advises.
"Bring your tissue with you
everywhere. You should exhale
on your ring and then wipe it with
tissue." Marjo Dobbs and Mini
Abraham also had good advice to
new ring-owners: "'never clean
your ring on your jeans; it leaves
lines. One should lightly rub her
ring on her sweatshirt or other
soft cotton fabric."

Nela Nanayakkara had per-
haps the best solution: Place
cellophane around the ring to
prevent fingerprints and scratch-

ing." Another sophomore, who
asked not to be named for obvious
reasons, had a nightmare in which
she had cleaned her ring so much
one day that all of the onyx wore
away. Perhaps this is getting out
of hand.

Aside from smudges, the Che-
shire cats are pleased. Crystal
Collis said happily, "Now I feel
established." She then admitted
that she almost wrecked her car
while admiring the beauty of her
ring. Sharon Hargraves felt her
ring symbolized getting through
two years of hard and vigorous
studies. She felt that the only
thing better or more important
than this ring would be an NFL
Players ring. Good luck. Sharon.
Katie Kelley was just pleased that
people would no longer mistake
her for a high school student.

One person summed up best
the overall feeling throughout the
Class of '89 at the arrival of their
rings: "It's like green M&M's." This
writer couldn't agree more.

"Evolution and Human Nature" Lecture

by Debbie L. Strickland

Marjone Glicksman Grene, a
nationally prominent philosopher,
will be visiting Agnes Scott on
April 21 and 22 to speak to
philosophy classes and to hold a
public lecture entitled "Evolution
and Human Nature." A grant from
the Council for Philosophical
Studies makes this visit possible.

Among Marjone Grene's spe-
cialties are Ancient Philosophy,
British Empiricism, Modern Exis-
tentialism, and the Philosophy of
Biology Her lecture deals with the
Philosophy of Biology a topic on
which she has written extensively.
In 1969 she wrote Approaches to
a Philosophical Biology and she
edited Topics in the Philosophy of
Biology in 1975. Recently, she
edited Dimensions of Darwinism:
Themes and Counterthemes in
20th Century Evolutionary Theory.
She has also written articles on
the subject throughout her career
from "The Faith of Darwinism" in
1959 to "Perception and Interpre-
tation in the Sciences: Toward a
New Philosophy of Science,'
which appeared in a 1985 collec-

tion of articles.

Dr. Grene has served the
philosophical community in
numerous capacities, not only as
a professor at such schools as the
University of California and Carle-
ton College, but also as the
Director of the Council for
Philosophical Studies Summer
Institute on Philosophy of Biology,
the Director of the National
Endowment for the Humanities
Summer Seminar. She has also
served as a high ranking commit-
tee member of several philosophi-
cal societies and last summer was
the Director of the NEH Summer
Seminar, "Descartes and His
Contemporaries." These and
many other accomplishments
have, according to Dr. Richard
Parry, the Chairman of the
Philosophy Department, have
made her "an important figure in
American philosophy."

She also was one of the first
women to become a prominent
philosopher. She began her
career in the 1930s when there
were few women in the
philosophy field. During this
period she became acquainted
with one of Agnes Scott's former

professors and throughout the
years was familiar through various
contacts with the school. There-
fore, when the invitation to visit
Agnes Scott came, she accepted.

Dr. Parry thinks that students
will enjoy the lecture because
Marjorie Greene is "a very enter-
taining lecturer" and he guaran-
tees that students will enjoy her
discussion, "Evolution and
Human Nature." Dr. Grene is
"somewhat critical of evolutionary
theory," which tears down the
"distinctions among species." She
criticizes this idea of a "continuum
among species" and she "tends
to be skeptical of Reductionism."
Dr. Parry believes that students
will appreciate the currentness of
this subject, and will enjoy the
new perspective of a distin-
guished philosopher.

She will also be speaking to
students in the Aristotle Seminar
on Tuesday and to the 17th and
18th Century Philosophy class at
11:20. Her public lecture will be
Wednesday night at 8:15 in
Presser. All students are encour-
aged to attend and enjoy the
"lively" lecture.

Chimo Hosts International Dinner

by Renee Dennis

On March 28. Chimo. the
international organization of
Agnes Scott, held its annual
spring dinner. The event featured
exotic food, performances by
Chimo members, and recognition
of graduating members.

The program began with Felicia
Williams' rousing rendition of the
song "Believe in Yourself." Next,
the diners were treated to two
ancient dances performed by
freshman Maya Misra. an Indian
native and Amna Jaffer. a Pakis-
tani freshman.

Nela Nanayakara. the club
secretary and hostess of the
festivities, announced dinner. A
Thai restaurant catered the din-
ner, which included such Far East
specialities as spicy beef and
'vegetables, stir-fried chicken,
rice, and pork egg-rolls.

More member performances,
including songs and poetry re-
flected the diversity of Chimo
members. Senior Gretchen Pfeiffer
sang a German and French song,
and Ana Qumtana and Manuella
Soell sang a German song. Ana
followed with a Spanish solo. She
explained that the song was about
San Juan, the capitol of Puerto

Rico, her native country. Anna-
Lena Neld performed a Swedish
number. Nela capped off this
portion of the evening with a poem
about flowers and a mother's love
from her native land of Sri Lanka.

The program culminated with
the performance of the Turkish
dancers who appeared at the last
Chimo dinner. They danced for
about twenty minutes, and re-
ceived a standing ovation. Nela
Nanayakara presented gifts to this
year's graduating members,
Pramoda Rao, Hong Kim Saw.
Anita Irani, and Ana Qumtana
This year's dinner was a complete
success.

Annual Spring Music Concert Includes a Diversity of Music

by Cherie Arnette

Those committed few of the
ASC community who braved the
cold rainy weather Thursday, April
2 were entertained by a musical
performance encompassing a
great variety of styles. The Music
Department's Spring Concert
combined the musical talents of
the ASC Glee Club, Joyful Noise,
the Opera Workshop, and London
Fog.

The ASC Glee Club opened
with a section of sacred music.
Beginning with "Kyrie Eleison,"
the performance proceeded into
"Tantum ergo" featuring Roberta
Daniel, Ryse Roerig and Marsha
Michie as soloists. Roberta
Daniel's lovely soprano voice was
again featured in the pieces
"There Is No Rose" and "What
You Gonna Call Yo' Pretty Little

Baby." This section of the concert
also included pieces of Easter
music, which was appropriate for
spring even if the weather was
not.

Joyful Noise contributed to the
concert with two selections. Their
enthusiastic performance of "I
Shall Wear a Crown" was well-
received by the audience. They
also performed the rousing piece
"Jesus is a Rock."

The next section of the concert
featured pieces of secular music.
The Music Department's 2nd
annual Opera Workshop gave a
powerful preview of its April 23
and 24 production of Hansel and
Gretel. Lauri White as Hansel and
Jennifer McCaslin as Gretel were
delightful in their frivolous play^
Roberta Daniel entered as the'
angry mother and after throwing
out Hansel and Gretel sang a
beautiful prayer to God. The two
scenes served as a small glimpse
of great things to come.

For a change in pace, Agnes
Scott's jazz vocal ensemble,
London Fog, treated the audience
to their unique brand of harmony.
Their light, cheerful and relaxed
style was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Their rendition of "Sophis-
ticated Lady," featuring Nan Tittle,
was enjoyed by all London Fog
fans, including Dean Behan.

The evening was concluded
with another performance by the
Glee Club. Anne Leacock was
featured in a lovely solo in "Suo-
Gan." The humorous "Non-Lullaby"
allowed the audience to partici-
pate in responses led by director
Ted Matthews.

At this time, the president of
Glee Club. Elizabeth Buck, pre-
sented a plaque to Dr. Matthews
for 20 years of dedicated direc-
tion. The concert ended with a
beautiful benediction. "The Lord
Bless You." Everyone was invited
to the reception, which honored
Dr. Matthews.

CA Brings Square Dance to Campus

by Kimberly Baker

Agnes Scott had a unique
experience the night of April 3.
Christian Association sponsored
a square dance complete with a
North Carolina blue-grass band.
Students (male types) turned out
from Georgia Tech. Columbia
Seminary and Christ Community
Church.

To begin the evening, the band
taught the students a few basic
steps. Then they were ready to
dance the night away Students
had the opportunity to switch
partners often which gave them a
chance to visit with all the other
students present.

As the students became more
proficient, they moved on to new
dances. They created some of
their own and even tried the
Virginia Reel (a la Gone with the
Wind).

The gym was decorated with
streamers, bales of hay, and a

booth at which kisses could be

bought for a nickel (that means
90 cents bought 18 kisses!).
Refreshments included pink
lemonade, brownies, and chips
and dip.
The event was a great experi-

ence for ASC. Students got their
quota of exercise for the week.
Christian Association hopes to
continue to provide new and
exciting entertainment for the
campus in the future.

Fuller Performs at

Annual Piano Recital

by Carolyn Weaver

Dr. Jay Fuller presented his
annual piano recital on Tuesday,
March 31 at 8:15 p.m. in Gaines
auditorium. One was happy to
note that members of the student
body, faculty administration, and
area community attended. Selec-
tions from the works of 17th, 18th,
and 19th century composers
formed the program.

To open his concert, Dr. Fuller
chose a piece by JeanBaptiste
Lully. The title, "Sarabande," is a
French word describing a stately
dance from the 17th and 18th
centuries similar to a minuet. The
music for such a dance was "slow
triple time with accent on the
second beat." As the pianist
entered the stage, acknowledged
the audience with a polite nod,
and began to play, one realized
that the group was to be treated
to an excellent evening of music.

From the eighteenth century,
Fuller performed "Sonata in E
major, Opus 109" by Ludwig van
Beethoven. The audience was
captured by the pianist's perform-
ance and watched, fascinated, as
his fluid fingers moved across the
keyboard. The dynamics in this
piece were particularly notable.
Often one would not realize just
how softly he was playing and
then would be surprised with a

sudden loud passage. The
pianist's impressive range of
dynamics enhanced the diversity
of tempo in the piece. As Dr. Fuller
moved through each of the six
variations of one section, one was
struck with his ability to project the
differences in tempo. For exam-
ple, he subtly distinguished be-
tween Variations I ('Allegro viv-
ace") and V ("Allegro, ma non
troppo"), both of which are "lively,"
but in different manners.

Following a quick break, Dr.
Fuller concluded the program with
a selection by Maurice Ravel.
"Miroirs" was exactly what the title
imphed-mirror images. Easily, one
visualized each of the five pictures
as it was presented through the
music, from the inconsistant flight
of the insects in "Noctuelles"
("NightMoths") to the resounding
image of a deep valley in "La
Vallee des cloches ("The Valley of
Bells").

The audience so enjoyed
Fuller's playing they insisted upon
hearing an encore. He returned to
the stage and ended the evening
by performing "Impromptu in F
minor" by Faure. Clearly Jay
Fuller loves his music, is dedi-
cated to it, and becomes ab-
sorbed in it. Very business-like yet
elegant on stage, he throws
himself into the music once he
begins to play. One regrets only
that all were not able to enjoy
such a wonderful performance.

Joyful Noise Performs for Diners

by Kimberly Baker

.Ion t'ul Noise performs in Letitia Rate.

Joyful Noise has come a long
way from their debut one year
ago. I remember their first per-
formance. They appeared on the
stage of Gaines as a small group
clad in choir robes singing gospel
music. They performed well and
showed promise. The community
spoke well of them and said that
it was a nice change of pace. Little
did we know that they would
blossom into such an exciting
group of talented young women.

Joyful Noise, now sporting
Joyful Nois6 sweatshirts, per-
formed at dinner on Tuesday, April

7. Their powerful and beautiful
music filled the Dining Hall up to
the rafters. Their music was even
more exciting thanks to their
rhythmic accompaniment. Their
music had depth and meaning.
They have learned to blend their
varied voices together to create
harmonious music.

The group was joined by a local
gospel recording artist who dem-
onstrated the art of gospel music
wonderfully. She sang the music
to its fullest. She set a great
example for the group to follow.

Joyful Noise, with Dr. Byrnsides
as their advisor, does not need
much outside encouragement.
Mrs. G. calls the group the most

varied one on campus. She is
probably right. Joyful Noise is
made up of students and a
professor. They are both black
and white. Although they have
varied backgrounds, they have
unified with each other to create
a fabulous group. They even have
President Schmidt and Dean
Hudson as honorary members.

Joyful Noise is providing beauti-
ful- music for the campus. They
have gone beyond the potential
suggested by their name. They
have been called to "make a joyful
noise unto the Lord," but instead
they have created heavenly music
which is an inspiration to the
community.

Maxwell's Faulkner Comes to ASC

by Laura Brown
and Jennifer Burger

Hollywood Shuffle, soon to
open in the Atlanta area theatres,
is a wonderful comedy by the up
and coming Jack-of-all-trades
Robert Townsend. Not only is this
talented comedian star of this film,
but he is also director, producer,
caterer, and janitor.

Working on a low budget with-

only 14 days to actually film.
Although most of his supporting

SC5 has a great sound. The
music of the guitars and drums
blend to create the rhythm along
with the harmonious vocals. One
becomes so involved in the music
that the lyrics are of little impor-

tion is "Sarajevo" (perhaps being
a history major causes that). It
tells of the beginnings of World
War I. Other songs focus on love
and our modern society. The
songs are short but exciting,
which makes for a varied album.

SC5 has performed at clubs

Maxwell's portrayal of Faulkner
has been compared favorably
with Hal Holbrook's characteriza-
tion of Mark Twain.

Born in Pickens. Mississippi.
Maxwell is a theatre graduate of
the University of Mississippi in
Oxford, the town where the
legendary author lived and
worked. Maxwell had been a
college speech and theatre
teacher for more than a decade
before turning to an ambition that
had called to him for years: the

creation of a dramatic piece on
William Faulkner.

During that time, Maxwell also
established himself as one of
Mississippi's leading theatrical
performers, with dozens of plays
to his credit at regional theatres
and other showcases around the
state. He also has appeared in
commercial and television produc-
tions, including network presenta-
tions of Freedom Road and
Love's Savage Fury.

order their composition through a
more rational system, using
scientific rather than intuitive
methods to reproduce color ef-
fects. The exhibition charts the
course of the Neo-lmpressiomst
movement as it spread across
Europe, mixed with other contem-
porary styles and emerged in the

20th century with new direction. It
also explores the surprisingly
broad impact of Pointil lism
pioneered by Seurat in the mid-
1880s. The show includes works
by acknowledged Neolmpres-
sionist masters such as Paul
Signac, Maximilien Luce, Theo
van Rysselberghe and Henry van
de Velde, as well as rare pieces
by painters not commonly associ-
ated with the movement. Artists
from France, Belgium, Germany
and Holland are represented.

The W. J. Holliday Collection,
comprised of approximately 90
divisionist and pointillist works,
was bequeathed to the In-
dianapolis Museum of Art in 1977
upon the death of Indiana indus-
trialist W. J. Holliday. Holiday had
begun collecting pointillist works
in the 1950s. The collection was
inspired by Holiday's admiration
for the work of Seurat. but in-
cludes works by other masters of
Neo-Impressionism and by artists
who created only a few pointillist
works.

With their painstaking dotted

distinctive color harmonies and
allegiance to scientific theories,
Neo-lmpressionist pictures al-
ways have held a special mys-
tique. Yet. American audiences
have had few opportunities to
view these works, except as
isolated examples.

As founder of the movement,
Seurat was seeking a method to
make the physical substance of
oil paint generate the luminosity
and radiance of real light. Seurat's
theory, which he called Di-
visionism, focused on the way the
eye sees and the way colored
pigment behaves.

The critical period of Neo-
Impressionism was limited to the
half decade of 1886 to 1891.
Following Seurat's death in 1891,
the movement was reinvigorated
by Seurat's colleague, Paul
Signac. From his home in St.
Tropez, Signac presided over a
second flourishing of Neo-
Impressionism, in which the style
mixed aspects of Art Nouveau,
Fauvism and Cubism.

Organized by the Indianapolis
Museum of Art and sponsored by
the Members Guild of the High
Museum, the exhibition is accom-
panied by a fully-illustrated
catalogue published by the In-
dianapolis Museum of Art and the
Indiana University Press. The
soft-cover catalogue sells for $30.

Tango-Argentino Delights Audiences with Latin Dances

TANGO-MANIA to hit Atlanta
... The Broadway hit TANGO
ARGENTINO, which opened to
rave reviews on October 9, 1985
at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on
Broadway and now in its second
triumphant year on the road, will
be opening at the Fabulous Fox
Theatre for one week only on
Tuesday, April 21st through Sun-
day, April 26th.

TANGO ARGENTINO, the
show that came from Paris to
New York for one week and stayed
for a whole season, won three
Tony nominations and has broken
attendance records from Los
Angeles to Miami, form Washing-
ton D. C. to San Francisco. The
New York Times called TANGO
ARGENTINO "Dazzling . . . high-
stepping, sexy. . . . Year's Best."
The Los Angeles Times says
"Sizzling . . . passionate . . .
brilliant ... in its hot, varied
splendor." The San Francisco
Examiner calls TANGO "Theatri-
cal Gold ... the theatre is so
charged with sensuality you could
cut it with a laser beam."

Conceived, directed and de-
signed by Claudio Segovia and
Hector Orezzoli, with choreog-
raphic conception by Mr. Segovia

assisted by Juan Carlos Copes,
TANGO ARGENTINO has ele-
vated the Tango from the brothels
of Buenos Aires to the high society
of both Europe and America and
has provided a strong influence
on the way that Americans are
dressing, dancing and romancing.

The Tango took its first steps in
the 1880's in Buenos Aires, a city
apidly filling with immigrants from
Doth the Pampas (Argentinian
countryside) and from Europe.
They established themselves in
the suburban slums ("Orilla," the
outskirts) of Buenos Aires. The
Brothel became the most repre-
sentative institution of the Orilla,
with its typical assortment of
pimps and prostitutes. Excluded
from the rest of Argentina's soci-
ety, the residents formed their own
aristocracy with its own language,
clothing, music and dance - the
Tango. The Tango became the
expression of this outcast popula-
tion, using its music and dance as
a means of protection and ag-
gression against the European
influences.

TANGO ARGENTINES music
draws on the Argentinian
"milonga" which in turn combines
Indian rhythms with the "haban-

era" of the first Spanish colonists.
But tango music also has African
"candombe" influences, and the
word Tango is probably derived as
much from the Latin "tangers," to
touch, as it is from the beat of the
drums which African servants
played in the slave quarters of
Argentina. Tango traveled to North
America and Paris in the period
just after World War I, and long
before Rudolph Valentino domi-
nated the silver screen with his
hot-blooded interpretation of the
Tango, there was the great Tango
singer Carlos Gardel, who came
from Toulouse.

The success of TANGO
ARGENTINO has fostered a new
kind of madness: "TANGO-
MANIA." Fashion designers in
both Paris and New York salute
Tango for its impact on fashion,
with sleek, slinky backless black
and white evening dresses and
the return of the slim, elegant
tuxedo, worn with pencil-thin
white scarf and slicked back hair.
Tango lessons exploded from the
"World's Largest Tango Lesson" at
Roseland, drawing over 2000
students; to individual classes

Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) goes on a disastrous blind date

Willis and Basinger Share Star Roles

When Bruce Willis, an execu-
tive at a financial management
firm, takes a blind date to an
important client dinner, he only
receives one warning from the
man who sets him up: "Whatever
you do, don't let her drink." Kim
Basinger plays Nadia, the title
role in this wild comedy directed
by Blake Edwards about what
happens when Walter ignores the
warning, unwittingly turning Nadia
into a hilariously devastating force
who wrecks his otherwise normal
life.

Kim Basinger (No Mercy, 9-V2
Weeks, The Natural, The Man
Who Loved Women) plays Nadia,
who, on the surface, appears to
be the perfect blind date; Bruce
Willis (Moonlighting) is Walter, an
ambitious executive whose hopes
of being promoted explode like
champagne bubbles when he
accepts a blind date that ends in
disaster; and John Larroquette
(Night Court, Star Trek III) is
David, Nadia's psychotically jeal-

ous ex-boyfriend, who wages a
war of extermination against
Walter. Meanwhile, Walter has to
cope with the consequences of
Nadia's uninhibited behavior at an
important company dinner. High
on champagne, she has managed
to insult his firm's important new
Japanese client, assault Walter's
boss, George Coe, slander a
French waiter and not only wreck
the restaurant but also Walter's
future as a financial analyst. This
dabacle is followed by a series of
hilarious and devastating events
of the kind that have become the
hallmark of the best of Blake
Edwards'comedies for over a
quarter of a century.

As a matter of record this is
Edwards' 45th film, following'the
recently released That's Life!
starring Jack Lemmon and Julie
Andrews, Blake's lovely and
talented actress-wife. His previ-
ous productions include such
comedy classics as the six "Pink

Panther" frolics starring the late
Peter Sellers, The Party (also with
Sellers), 10, Victor/Victoria,
Mickie and Maude, and The Man
Who Loved Women.

As with many Edwards projects,
there were many familiar faces on
the set of Blind Date. The Director
of Photography was Harry Stradl-
ing, who had worked on four other
films directed by Blake. He also
had won renown as the
cinematographer for The Way We
Were, Little Big Man, Convoy,
and Support Your Local Sheriff.

For multi-Academy Award-
winning composer Henry Mancini,
Blind Date is his 24th motion
picture collaboration with Edwards.
Their association goes back even
further, to their television years,
when Blake created the popular
series Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky.
To date, Mancini's music for
Edwards has resulted in 12
Academy Award nominations,
four of which produced Oscars.

other renowned dance institu-
tions, as well as in dance studios
all over the tri-state area, and
private lessons. Dance teachers
are flocking to the "Argentine
Tango" lessons as their students,
inspired by seeing TANGO
ARGENTINO two and three
times, attempt to re-create the
onstage elegance and sensuality
in their own lives. Tango parties
have become the rage, from
American Express Chairman
James D. Robinson Ill's surprise
birthday party, where 200 guests
(including Henry Kissinger,
Gerald Ford, William Paley and
William Simon) joined the cast in
singing "Happy Birthday"; to the
White House, where President
Reagan celebrated his birthday
by demanding six encores from
the two members of the cast who
came to Washington to entertain.

TANGO ARGENTINO features
the world's most renowned Tango
artists. Each of the 33 dancers,
singers and musicians of the
company is a star in his own right
and has a unique, special style of
performing the Tango. Mr.
Segovia and Mr. Orezzoli have
rwelded their special talents into a
spectacle which conveys the

grace, the grandeur and unique
style that have epitomized Tango
during its 100-year history. Mel
Howard and Donald K. Donald,
who brought the sold-out
evenings to Broadway, are
presenting TANGO ARGENTINO

TANGO ARGENTINO is available

Nault Choreographs for
The Atlanta Ballet

The Atlanta Ballet closes it's
1986-87 season with an exhilarat-
ing evening of dance choreo-
graphed by Fernand Nault. On
April 30 May 2 watch the music
of Igor Stravinsky come to life as
the Ballet performs Symphony of
Psalms, then delight in the French
countryside in the comedy of La
Fille Mai Gardee.

Fernand Nault is currently the
resident choreographer for Les
Grands Ballets Canadiens, but
has choreographed many works
around the world.

A member of The American
Ballet Theatre for 20 years, Nault
has danced in every major opera
house in Europe, Scandinavia,
Russia, Central and South
America and in most major cities
of Canada and the United States.
He has had the distinction of being
the first foreign teacher to give
demonstration classes with the
members of The American Ballet
Theatre at the famous Kirov and
Bolshoi Schools while touring
Russia.

Robert Barnett, Artistic Director,
feels that Nault will add a special
touch to the end of the season.
"Nault is a genius, and I think this
evening dedicated to his work will
be spectacular," Barnett says.

Nault, who has choreographed
more than 50 works, is famous for
the amorous Carmina Barana and
the balletic version of The Who's
rock opera Tommy.

Symphony of Psalms is set to
the powerful music of igor
Stravinsky and represents a
projection of his own faith through
the imagined faith of an anony-
mous congregation.

Nault shows his lighter side in
La Fille Mai Gardee, a comedy
set in the French countryside.
First presented in 1786, the ballet
is one of the oldest in existence.
It also ranks as one of the first
ballets based on the lives of real
people, rather than mythological
characters. It is a rural romance
between Lisette and Colin; but
her mother, the widow Simone,
wants to marry per to the wealthy
simpleton Alain. Set to the comi-
cal music of Wilhelm Hertel, it is
sure to become a favorite of all
audiences.

This repertoire is made possible
through the generous support of
WFOX and The Coca-Cola
Foundation.

Ticket prices range from $4.00
to $30.25 with special senior
citizen and student discounts
available. Tickets may be pur-
chased in advance at the Ballet
Box Office, 477 Peachtree Street,
12:00-5:00 p.m. weekdays, or
charged by calling 892-3303.
Tickets are also available at
SEATS outlets and in all Turtle's
Record Stores. Tickets may be
purchased at The Civic Center on
the day of the performance.

Volleyball for Fun

by Hong Tran

Bump! Set! Spike!, or is it
Bump! Set! and "just get the ball
over the net before the fourth hit!"
or probably the most familar
thought racing through one's head
just hit the ball anywhere but in
my direction!'* Well, whatever their
strategy everyone who comes to
"Volleyball for fun" seems to enjoy
themselves. The gym is reserved
every Monday night from
7:00-9:00 pm. for students, faculty
and staff to pit themselves against
one another in a gruelling, muscle
wrenching volleyball game. Usu-
ally though, those who dare to
accept the challenge come away
with just a few bruises, mostly to

their egos rather than their body.
(They forgot that it was tennis, not
volleyball where you allow the ball
to bounce once before you hit it).
Unfortunately, as of late, many
would-be-contenders fail to notice
that little, dilapidated- volleyball
that Ms. McKemie hangs outside
the gym every Monday to remind
everyone that it's VOLLEYBALL
NIGHT! Too often, not enough
people come to form even two
complete teams. Lest you forget,
volleyball is a sport for life! It's a
good way to burn-off those six
chocolate-chip cookies you had
for dinner, and it's fun to boot.
Whether you're a moderately
skillful player or olympic-bound
material come to "Volleyball for
fun" on Monday nights for a
"volley" good time.

It's that time again . . . softball

softball has gotten off to a slow
start, but thanks to Ms. McKemie
another great season is under

bigger and better. Several players
from last years team have re-
turned (like Dee Agee. our dedi-

many new players coming from
the freshman class. Turn out for

there is always a need for more

seats about 86,000 people, and
there probably was not one empty

offered in New Orleans, this event
was one of the major travel

Former President Carter Visits ASC

by Peggy Harper

On Wednesday evening. April
15, 1987. former President Jimmy
Carter fielded an hours worth of
questions from Agnes Scott fac-
ulty, staff, students and members
of the Atlanta/Decatur community.
The subjects covered Amy Carters
recent arrest, the Carter Center,
the Middle East, relations with
Russia and U.S. politics in gen-
eral. His visit to the Agnes Scott
campus was his first public
appearance in Atlanta since
returning from his latest Middle
East/African trip.

After a long standing ovation by
the member audience, followed
by an introduction by Agnes
Scott's President Dr. Ruth
Schmidt, the former President
now a Professor at Emory Univer-
sity spoke very briefly about his
prior associations with Agnes
Scott and the purpose for the
Carter Center and Library before

opening the floor to questions.
Naturally, the first question asked
concerned Amy Carter's acquittal
on misdemeanor charges arising
out of a protest against illegal CIA
activities in the Nicaraguian
Contra war. Mr. Carter expressed
his and Mrs. Carter's pleasure in
hearing the results and. com-
mented that "the CIA has, indeed
in the past, when Direcior Casey
was there, violated the proprieties
of our nation and the resolutions
of the U.S. Congress, the interna-
tional law and. I believe. American
law as well."

Responding to a request from
Lisa Keniry ('88) on the Carter
Center's involvement with en-
vironmental issues, the former
President said that this was only
one of the many focuses of the
Center, but that the Center's focus
was broader than just air and
water pollution. Remarking that
the "Global 2000" long-term
environmental study done during
his presidency was not continued
by the Reagan administration

.limim Carter receives the Agnes Scott se^l from SGA President kathie White,
while President Schmidt looks on.

because Mr. Reagan feels- this
type of activity by government is
an infringement on individual
rights, Mr. Carter wenf on to say
that today "the U. S. government
and most of the' United States
community has dropped these
long-range studies on environ-
mental change change in the
quality of life." while other coun-
tries like Japan and West Ger-
many have adopted the report
and "have built on it in an enorm-
ous and very concerted way." One
of the long range goals of the
Carter Center will be to pick up
the "Global 2000" program as
soon as funds are available. In
fact, programs to aid small farm-
ers in under-developed countries
has already begun through a
partnership between the former
President and the renown Dr.
Norman Bullard. recipient of the
1970 Nobel Peace Prize for his
work in India and Pakistan.

Responding to a comment
regarding how a president deals
with the secular-sacred relation-
ship, Mr. Carter commented "it is
the same basic relationship that
would exist between a college
professor, or a student at Agnes
Scott , or a peanut farmer, or an
attorney." His own view is that
while "the highest possible aspira-
tion of a Christian is agape love-
perfect love," however, a nation
must be concerned with justice.
Other than philosophical issues,
he never felt any conflict between
his Christian values and his duty
as President he knew that as
President it was his duty to do
what was best for the country, not
necessarily what was always best
according to his religion. The only
issue that ever gave him a prob-
lem was the abortion issue: "I
have always felt that as a Christ-
ian. Christ would not' approve of
abortion, and still, when I was
President, I was required to
support the existing abortion
laws. ..That's the one exception
that I had. I felt very deeply that I
should do everything I could
within the law to minimize the
need for abortion "

length about the history of and
future prospects for long-term
peace in the Middle East. Briefly
recapping his recent trip to Syria.
Jordan. Egypt and Israel, Mr.
Carter said "that now, for the first
time in many years, at least in my
memory" Syria. Jordan and Egypt
are unanimous in their desire for
an international peace confer-
ence for direct negotiations with
Israel, fully aware that "within the
framework of [it] they . . . would
have to negotiate individually with
Israel" [on issues that only con-
cerned their own country]. His
impression of Israel, however, is
that the government is split 50/50
on attending, with the Labor Party
endorsing the conference. "The
un-answered question [is] what is
the position of the United States,
and I don't know what that is."
Commenting on his meetings with
members of the Reagan adminis-
tration after the trip, Mr. Carter
said. "I don't know if the Reagan
administration will make an effort
within the next twenty months to
reinstitute the peace process in
the Middle East. I hope that they
will because with strong American
interest I think the international
peace conference could be in-

itiated and possibly be successful.
Without American interest, it will
not be begun, even."

Susan Pesterfield ('89) re-
quested Mr. Carter to comment
on his view of the United States
position in world politics, to which
he responded that the U. S. is still
a great power, and is militarily
superior to Russia. He said the
real question is how should the
United States use its. tremendous
economic, political and, even,
moral power throughout the
world. "Our nation has lost it
preeminent position in the world"
in the areas of peace initiation,
domestic and foreign human
rights, environmental quality and
nuclear arms control: "We are not
now identified in the world's
consciousness. as rated by public
opinion polls and so forth, as a
champion of peace. ..and we have
not. obviously kept high designs
on human rights , and we have
not been the foremost proponent
of nuclear arms control." But
Carter feels the U. S. has the
potential to reverse this situation
because "we still have the
strongest and best system of
government on earth. "The former

As another year comes to a close, we are able to look back and
take note of our accomplishments and mistakes. There are many
of both, but we can grow from each and every one. I believe Agnes
Scott offers students the opportunity to grow and learn.

The end of the year brings something else with it also. It brings
the departure of many who are special. For this reason. I would
like to dedicate this issue of the newspaper to the class of 1987.
You will definitely be missed.

On May 16. many of us will watch as you accept your diplomas
and leave the doors of Agnes Scott forever. You will go your separate
ways and make your separate lives, but the bonds you have made
here will not be forgotten. You have struggled four long years, and
much of it may seem like pure misery now, but Vergil said it best.
"Some day, perhaps, remembering even this will be a pleasure." I
think it will. The friendships you have formed, the achievements
you have made, and the person you have molded yourself into
during this time will always stand out in your mind. This is your
time. Cherish it.

I wish all of you the best of luck in all your endeavours. To those
of you who have touched my life and who had faith in me when I
didn't have it in myself, a very special thank you. I'll miss you.

HEALTH NOTES

by Mary Lu Christiansen, CFNP

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are a very sensitive issue.
Trying to select appropriate methods to inform, educate, and
ultimately prevent transmission of a STD often provokes much
controversy, as well as anger, fear and resentment. From a medical
standpoint, it is the professional responsibility of a health care
provider to give the information necessary for the consumer to make
an intelligent decision regarding sexual activity.

In the past, the Student Health Center has adopted a program
of providing information and counseling to individual students, at
the student's request. General informative literature has always
been available in the clinic, accessible to all students. The student
handbook also contains general information. Full gynecological
services are available for all students at the Student Health Center.
This approach helps a limited number of students. It doesn't help
the student who is too shy or maybe afraid to ask for specific
information. There is also a certain percentage of students who
think they have sufficient information, but may find themselves
mis-informed. Sadly, the incidences of STDs are increasing. This
increase may be due to carelessness, irresponsible attitudes, or
ignorance - or a combination of these factors.

We feel that the first goal to counteract this increase in STDs is
to inform and educate the student. Students have a right to know
the risks involved with sexual activities. Dr. William Budell. M.D.
from Emory University will speak to the students and faculty on
May 4. Dr. Budell's topic "Aids'STDs: Is our campus at risk" will offer
many facts pertinent to this population.

Several pamphlets and brochures with specific STD information
will be distributed to all students. This general distribution is not
meant to offend anyone, or to suggest or imply that "everyone M is
sexually active. However, we feel that the information is so important
that every student should receive it now.

We would also like to encourage individuals or small groups (8-10)
of students to come to the Health Clinic for general discussions,
questions, etc. These small groups can also offer suggestions,
advice, and help to keep this community informed about AIDS/STDs.
We encourage everyone to become informed about the risks of
AidS'STDs.

Public Safety Installs "Emergency Phones'

Dear Editor:

On Friday, April 10th, the col-
lege installed two "Emergency
Telephones" (RAM Tech). One is
located near the entrance (behind
Rob Thies' house) to the Candler
parking lot, while the other has
been installed at the walkway
(behind the tennis court parking
lot) to Campbell and the library

REP CAP

from the tennis court lot. To place
a call ("escort" or emergency -
only), you merely twist the thumb
latch on the door of the phone
box, open the door and press the
red button on the inside panel.
This action will activate an "auto
dial" which is programmed to call
x400 for A.S.PD. Any conversa-
tion is limited to 3 minutes, which
should be more than enough time

for any "escort" or emergency.
Note: Please indicate to the
officer/dispatcher which lot you
are calling from, and please use
these phones as much as possi-
ble for escorts, as we are trying
to test them preparatory to order-
ing five more.
Sincerely
W.J. Korth

Director of Public Safety

TeiTAK\NT

(9/19877

I. Anne Sophy, being of no
mind and too much body, do
hereby bequeath the following:

To my little sister Sarah: a
wonderful semester in DC on your
coed hall, lots of "satisfaction,"
and a little sister as conservative
as me to always take the total
opposite side of the issue.

To Gwendolyn Dell: the con-
tinued ability (and talent) to mess
with peoples minds who are
clueless (we both know its their
own fault if they are used), James.

my infinite ability to say "I'm trying
to think" and hopes for an outrage-
ous year in Spain!

To Shelby: my wisdom, pa-
tience, tolerance, and ability to be
objective in any situation without
complaining or criticizing.

To Hartline: All our cute phrases
when we are having out-of-body
experiences (you know what I
mean) and hopes that throughout
all "You won't think bad of me."
Julie, no one can table dance
quite like you; use this talent, and
I know you will succeed in life

To Chris: the ability to sort out
and understand even the most
confusing and contradictory sig-
nals from men (Write a book to
educate the rest of us) and a great
year at ISU - you will be missed'

To Mrs. Booch: a mountain of
gratitude (not mail) for all your
patience, teaching, wisdom, and
thoughtfulness throughout the
past four years. You have really
brightened many days for me and
will always hold a special place in
my heart.

To Robert: more fuzzy friends,
someone to argue with over
anything, and a book of fat jokes.

And finally to Agnes Scott, I just
plain leave'

I. Lori L. NeSmith. being of
sound mind and body, do hereby
leave the following-

To CP&P. a clone of myself so
that everything will run smoothly
next year in the office.

To my "little sisters." health,
wealth, and happiness - and a 4.0

leave to the class of 1988 the
bags under my eyes from long
nights of studying, the job search,
and friends that make it all
bearable. Have a blast!

I Myra Johnson, being of
insane mind and of ill body, do
hereby bequeath the following:

To Ms. G. my love and thanks
for bridging the gap between the
culture I brought with me to ASC
and the culture I encountered
once I got here: to Dr. J. (better
known as "BIG ED" Johnson), our
shared appreciation both for the
state of California and our last
name; to Barbara Blazer, con-
cepts and ideas: to Claire Guitton
and Tracy MacMahon. my heart
felt thanks for allowing me to see
a true friendship endure thej^est
and worst of times; to the
"Sarahs". I leave you with the
knowledge that you both possess
those student leadership qualities
for which you have worked so
diligently; to the RTCs who have
allowed me to share their ASC
'experience', my thanks and
congratulations for hanging in; to
Mary Dean, that part of me that
has learned and grown because
of your loving nature; to Mary
Laymon, the knowledge that there
exist those "Women who love too
much"; to my Sarah, an apology
that she was the one who had to
pay, but enough of my love to help
ease the pain; to Margaret Shirley,
the hope that you will make it
work: to Dekalb County, its very
own Rape Crisis Center; to Agnes
Scott College. I leave the most
difficult and challenging years of
my life thus far; to the ideals of
the college. I leave my hope that
the student body will soon de-
velop a collective women's con-
sciousness; and to the entire
community, but John Studstill in
particular. I leave Dr. Guthrie's
immortal words: "Shame is a
revolutionary sentiment."

Class of 1987

I. Gina Dixon, leave my ability
to hold 17 jobs at one time and
smile to Kimberlee Cadora.

I. Debra Ann Rose, being of
frazzled mind and weary body,
wish to leave to the Administration
of Agnes Scott College the val-
uable ability (so abundant in the
senior class, yet so sadly lacking
in other circles) to learn from past
mistakes, notably in the area of
construction (for example, dor-
mitories, recreational facilities,
and. ahem, parking lots). To future
graduates. I leave the good sense
to direct their contributions as
alumni not toward brass light
fixtures and designer wallpaper,
but toward such frivolities as the
purchase of new books for the
library or the hiring of enough
professors to adequately staff the
various departments. And finally.
I would like to express my deepest
appreciation to Professor
Catherine V. Scott, who has
taught me (almost) everything I
know about comparative politics
and international relations, and
whose dedication, hard work, and
sense of humor made each of the
many hours spent in her classes
a joy. (I'd leave you money, Dr.
Scott, but I'm afraid I don't have
any!)

I, Lauren Snee. do hereby
bequeath the following: to Charay
Norwood, all my Navy wife
etiquette. May you learn to make
the world's best green bean
casserole! Keep your chin up!

To Joan McGuirt. I leave the
memories of Walters, Delta Sig
(?) and especially, West Palm
Beach! May you find all the
waterbeds in your future as great
as the first.

To Susan Quave. I leave the
ability to laugh at this place
you'll need it in your senior year
more than you know!

To Laurie Adams. I leave the
telephones in room 400 and the
hope for a job as the Time
operator! There may be call-
waiting in your future yet.

But really, to all of you. I leave
my love and friendship and my
best wishes for a great senior
year. Make the most of it. Good
luck!

I. Carla Thibadeau. will my
risky-emergency parking spot to
any gutsy under class person who
thinks she won't get caught.

I. Margaret Hamm. leave to
Agnes Scott, my sanity. I lost it
somewhere between Campbell
and Buttrick. so it is yours to keep.
I suppose.

To the Chemistry Department,
I leave my "office" (i.e.. my "rat's
nest") restored to order.

To Adele Clements. I leave
$1 00 for a full meal plus a tip at
the Waffle House. (You can have
the pizza delivery guy at Mellow
Mushroom too. Adele.)

Finally. I leave the "Lethal Plate"
to the poor unfortunates left to
experience those ..unique...
meals.

I. Laura Rebecca Robison.

body, do hereby bequeath the
following:

with Freddie and. last but defi-
nitely not least, a big hug and
thank you for being such a
wonderful roommate. Also, a
place to stay anytime you need to
get away from the convent.

To Shannon Adair Lowery: I
can't think of anything to give to
the woman who has everything,
but thank you and I love you!

To Donna Doorley (Broom): All
my great knowledge of how to be

good dose before June 20th
because afterwards NO CAN
DO!).

To Susie Somerlot: a place to
stay anytime you're in Atlanta and
a constant contact for anything!

To the ASC Biology Depart-
ment: Thank you for everything
you have done for me.

New Site Could Offer New Opportunities for Students

by Debbie L. Strickland

Unlike air and water pollution,
light pollution, the illumination of
the night sky by buildings, street-
lights, and automobile headlights,
receives little attention. However,
this problem is of dire significance
to astronomers, who are unable
to see many objects in the night
sky because of all the "noise" of
city lights. Our own Bradley
Observatory has become increas-
ingly handicapped by the bright
lights of Atlanta, which drown all
but the brightest of nebulae and
planets. Over the past ten years
the night sky has tripled in
brightness and has consequently
decreased the observing power
of Agnes Scott's 30 inch tele-
scope, one of the largest in the
southeast.

The Agnes Scott administration
and Board of Trustees will soon
be considering the Physics and
Astronomy Department's unusual
proposal to address the light
pollution problem. The depart-
ment is interested in transporting
Agnes Scott's 30 inchMelescope
to Hard Labor Creek State Park,
where Georgia State University is
building observing facilities. Geor-
gia State's facilities would house
our telescope, and GSU would
pay all expenses except for
transporting the instrument itself

in exchange for secondary ob-
serving rights. A smaller tele-
scope, perhaps a 14 inch reflector
or a 10 inch refractor, would take
the place of the Beck Telescope
in Bradley Observatory. Designed
with sky brightness in mind, a
smaller telescope can actually
outperform the Beck Telescope.
The 30 inch telescope would still
belong to Agnes Scott, and ASC
faculty and students would still
maintain absolute primary usage
rights.

This idea first originated in the
department when faculty mem-
bers learned of GSU's plan to
establish an observatory with two
telescopes, one 14 inch and one
16 inch, at the state park. The
faculty thought that an arrange-
ment in which GSU would house
our telescope on the site would
greatly benefit both schools
because ASC's telescope has lost
its effectiveness due to the bright-
ness of Atlanta's skies and be-
cause it would give GSU access
to a telescope with a much larger
diameter than the 16 inch. Agnes
Scott, of course, would own and
completely control its telescope.

There are many advantages to
moving the telescope to Hard
Labor Creek, which is among the
darkest sites in the southeast.
Astronomers capture objects on
photographic plates, and the
exposure time of these plates
greatly depends on the brightness

Panel Discusses Internships

by Cherie Arnette

On Wednesday, April 22. the
convocation was sponsored by
Career Planning and Placement.
The title of the discussion was
"How to Enhance Your Career
Opportunity through Internships
and Summer Jobs." Barbara
Blazer introduced the panelists
for the well rounded discussion.

Mary Carter Whitten. a 1986
graduate of Agnes Scott, who is
presently employed as the curator
of Education and Public Programs
for the Atlanta Historical Society,
represented the student side of
internships. Ms. Ann L. Crammond
from the Atlanta Botanical Garden
represented sponsors of in-
ternships. The third panelist was
Ms. Diane Greene, who is the

staff manager of Management
Employment for Southern Bell.
Ms. Greene presented the em-
ployer side of internships. Each of
the panelists gave examples of
why they encouraged internships
as a way of either confirming a
student's ideas for a career or
allowing a student to find out what
she does not want to do.

The panel stressed the im-
mense aid internships can play in
helping students find direction.
Taking questions from the floor,
the panelists also discussed the
difference between "just a sum-
mer job" and summer internships.
Ms. Crammond expressed her
view that internships show a
greater desire from the students
m that career area.

The convocation concluded
with the panelists joining the
students for individual discussion
over lunch.

of the sky. In the darker skies, our
telescope with the state-of-the-art
electronic equipment, which GSU
would share with us, would be
1000 times more sensitive. An
exposure of one hour here in
Decatur could be achieved there
in only four seconds. An as-
tronomy major could obtain
enough data in just one or two
nights to occupy her for an entire
semester of independent study,
since most of an astronomer's
time is spent reducing and analyz-
ing data.

Advanced astronomy students
would not be the only ones to
benefit from the new site. Intro-
ductory level students would
make field trips to the site, and
intermediate level students would
help faculty members conduct
research. Additionally, faculty
members would no longer have
to travel thousands of miles west
to gather data in dark skies. Our
own faculty would once again be
able to fully utilize the remarkable
30 inch telescope for publishable
research.

Another potential benefit is an
increased number of astronomy
majors. Although it owns one of
biggest telescopes in the eastern
half of the United States, in recent
years Agnes Scott has had some
difficulty attracting astronomy
majors. The greatly improved
sensitivity will give ASC the most

powerful telescope east of the
Mississippi. The unparalleled
opportunity for prospective as-
tronomy students to conduct
research at a major observatory
and yet attend a small college
may attract these students, who
would otherwise not consider
Agnes Scott.

Two freshmen who are consid-
ering astronomy majors. Amy
Lovell and Jennifer Burger, com-
mented on the proposal. Amy
finds it "quite exciting that the
telescope may be moved to a
dark area where students could
observe more and observe better."

Jennifer also supports the
move, not only because of the
improved observational
capabilities, but also because the
30 inch is too cumbersome to use
just to obtain the same data that
a handier 14 inch could obtain.

Pilar Duque. an astronomy
student aid and physics major
who graduated fall semester and
now is acting director of the
planetarium, agrees that such a
move is necessary if Agnes Scott
is to reap the full benefits of the
instrument.

An objection to the proposal is
that the new site, which is about
fifty miles east of Decatur, is too
inconvenient for students. How-
ever, labs are held, at most, once
a week, and because at least half
of the lab nights are too cloudy to

perform any observations, stu-
dents would not suffer too great
an inconvenience. In fact, stu-
dents have already traveled to
take advantage of dark skies.
During this semester, introductory
level students traveled to a Villa
Rica observing site and saw
galaxies, nebulae, and globular
clusters in a 20 inch telescope
that are not visible in the 30 inch.

Another objection is that Agnes
Scott will lose some of its prestige
as one of the few schools to
house such a large telescope on
its campus. However, the Physics
and Astronomy Department be-
lieves that the move would actu-
ally increase Agnes Scott's re-
nown, for the college would have
better facilities than most major
astrophysical research universities.

The move has not yet been
officially proposed. At this stage it
is only an idea. The move will
possibly be considered at the May
Board of Trustees meeting. But
this very tentative proposal has
already excited students, includ-
ing Holly Parker, who says. 'Agnes
Scott is so lucky to have this
wonderful instrument. I think it's
fantastic that it might be put to the
best possible use for observations
and photography." According to
Dr. Arthur Bowling, this move
could bring Agnes Scott into the
21st century.

Students Participate in Spring Fling

by Traci Johnson

Spring Fling 87' was held at the
Sheraton Century Center on April
11. The dance floor was filled with
bodies clad in grasshopper-green
t-shirts. "Upsetting the Mothers"
was the name of the band which
played at the main event. Ulti-
mately the group upset a lot more
people than just their "mothers."
Although a great deal of the
people who attended Spring Fling
enjoyed the band, a minority

continues to shake the Agnes
Scott campus with its wrath.
Senior Gina Dixon said "...the
band was a bad choice because
their attitude set the attitude of
those who attended the dance.
They were obscene and inappro-
priately carrying on, and that
encouraged everyone else to do
'unwonderful' things."

The Agnes Scott campus was
busy with people purchasing
tickets and admiring the t-shirts
and cups sold in the dining hall.
The dress code for Spring Fling
was more casual than that of

Black Cat. Anything from a semi-
formal to a Sunday dress was
appropriate for the dance. There
were those who fashioned t-shirts
and Bermuda shorts at Spring
Fling, but this was only a result of
the heat generated on the dance
floor. The evening came to an end
at 2:00 a.m., and the party then
moved to private rooms. Spring
Fling 87' turned out to be an
evening of fun, adventure and
most of all memories. Agnes Scott
students eagerly await Spring
Fling 88'. with hopes of jamming
to a band that everyone will enjoy.

Opening the Closet at ASC

by Lisa Gugino

Alternative sexual lifestyles are
a controversial subject on most
college campuses. Agnes Scott is
no exception to the rule. Being a
Southern and all women's cam-
pus makes this topic a bit more
controversial for the Agnes Scott
community; it also makes it a lot
more pressing that the community
deal with this issue in an informed
and sensitive way. As a women's
college, many students feel a
responsibility to acknowledge this
phenomenon. They feel a need to
promote some sort of understand-
ing, just as would be done for any
other unexplained subject. As
members of a college community
who believe in the liberal arts and
the exploration of life, shouldn't
our campus openly deal with the
unexplored realities that exist
among a portion of the Agnes
Scott campus 9 Several students
of varying sexual preferences
were asked questions of this
nature in an attempt to encourage
increased understanding on the
ASC campus. (All names are
withheld.)

The first question posed to the
students regarded their opinion
as to whether or not they thought
there was a connection between
homo/bi-sexuality and the all
women's environment at Agnes
Scott. This question had its roots
in the denial of this connection by
Smith College's candid president,
Mary Maples Dunn. She said, in
a recent address to an Atlanta
audience, that homosexuality was
more a global phenomenon rather
than a product of women's col-
leges. (Athens Banner Herald)

Students agreed, but seemed
to add that an all women's environ-
ment was a relatively nurturing
place for their homo/bi-sexual
relationships. One student felt
that it was easy to form close,

intense relationships at Agnes
Scott, "most of which are not
sexual relationships, but if the
tendencies exist, then that type of
relationship could form and be
fostered here." A second student
felt that proportionately, Agnes
Scott is the same as any other
college or university campus in
regard to the existence of homo/
bi-sexual relationships. However,
she added that she thinks women
have a tendency to be more open
than men with their sexual tenden-
cies, and therefore Agnes Scott
would be more open about it. A
third student felt that some
women who come to an all
women's college are probably
attracted to the environment
because of their tendencies.
Another student disagreed, say-
ing that she was initially afraid of
coming to Agnes Scott, not know-
ing what kind of environment it
would be, and worrying that she
would not be accepted.

The second question that was
asked concerned the campus'
level of awareness in regard to
homo/bi-sexual relationships.
One student responded that she
thinks the students are relatively
unaware their first year or so and
usually by their junior year, realize
or encounter the homo/bi-sexual
population. Another student felt
that the campus is aware because
"you can't live here and not know
about it." but they don't want to
admit it, to themselves or each
other. A third student commented
that the gossip on campus in-
creases awareness, but not in a
positive manner. The last student
to answer divided the campus
into groups, those who know and
those who don't. Those who know
can be divided into those who
know and don't care, and those
who know and are ignorant. The
latter group feels uncomfortable
about homo/bi-sexuality. and
often gets upset whenever the

topic is mentioned. The student
went on to say that it is this group
that often makes dumb and
insensitive remarks in class and
at the dinner table.

Because the topics of aware-
ness and acceptance were so
popular with students, they elabo-
rated on both. "People here know,
but they are too polite or proper
to openly acknowledge the fact,
and I feel that reflects on me,"
said one student. She later
explained, "I don't think a formal
recognition is necessary; I am just
interested in gaining the respect
of my peers, not getting funding
from S.G.A."

Having brought up the issue of
formal recognition, the students
interviewed were asked whether
they thought recognition of homo/
bi-sexual students and relation-
ships on campus would benefit or
hurt the college. After some deep
thought and consideration the
students offered a variety of
responses. "There is no way the
school could suffer. I think if it was
one of those topics that the
administration and faculty didn't
turn their backs on and instead
promoted discussion, then recog-
nition couldn't harm the develop-
ment of the sexual consciousness
of the student body," explained
one student.

Another student differed some-
what. 'As an institution, it would
initially be detrimental because
we're talking about it affecting the
older alums, trustees, and the
main-stream Presbyterian
church. It would definitely be
going out on a limb; however. I
think on a student level, it would
help to promote understanding
and let people know that we're not
from another planet, that we're
human just like everybody else."

Further discussion on the ef-
fects of recognition revealed
some apprehensions. "This is
such a touchy subject, it scares
people. I think about the possibil-

ity of scaring away prospectives,
especially if their parents find the
whole thing distasteful." Another
student looked at it differently. u |
think recognition would benefit the
prospectives; by realizing that a
homo/bi-sexual population exists
on campus, the prospective can
work it out in her own mind before
arriving and finding out that her
'big sister' or someone close to
her is gay." The last response
recognized several of the seven
sisters. The student responded
that obviously an understanding
and a subsequent recognition of
homo/bi-sexual students hasn't
hurt the prestigious northern

that her students here compare
very favorably to those students
she has taught elsewhere. Her
students this year "in general
expect to be prepared for class."
They "ask questions out of
genuine intellectual curiosity."
Their questions are not just about
the contents of the next test, but
also an attempt to relate what
they are learning to their own lives
and religious beliefs.

Professor Mackie points out
that her degrees are academic,
not seminary. She is pleased that
she has been able to teach
courses on a broader range of
topics here than at other schools.

varying degrees guarantee a truly
innovative approach to the design-

subjects that often cross interdis-

format and texts will be deter-
mined over the summer, but the
course will definitely involve more

A Guide to Apartment Hunting

by Laurie Cataldo

Apartment hunting is quite
simple when you approach it as
a match and complement to your
lifestyle, not simply a quest for the
lowest rent.

The perfect apartment, for your
budget and tastes, will comple-
ment your whole life-socially.
recreationally, and professionally.
Your apartment community can fit
your lifestyle so well that it
becomes as much a part of your
life as your friends and job.
"I Want the Extras Free."

College communities offer ac-
tivities, free athletic facilities and
daily contact with hundreds of
new faces. But in a new city,
social and recreational activities
are not always easy or cheap to
come by. An apartment commu-
nity that offers these avenues,
relaxes your budget from having
to pay for spas, public pools and
parks, and social- clubs. Also,
some communities offer extra

amenities like jogging trails, picnic
areas with grills, exercise rooms
and tennis courts, along with the
traditional swimming pools and
laundry rooms.

"I Want Friendly People Around
Me."

Meeting people can be hard
when you first reach a new city.
All of a sudden you'll find that you
no longer share classes and
activities with hundreds of people
your own age and professional
level. Some communities help by
offering resident get-togethers
and personal resident services,
but look for more than that. Many
apartment residents are active on
at least one of the many resident
athletic leagues such as softball,
bowling and tennis, and social
and cultural trips, and contests
and charity functions that help
build friendships and sources of
entertainment.

Be sure your new apartment
has a solid reputation and man-
agement behind it. A strong,
available management staff will
be attentive to your needs and
support your wishes. When a

reputable management name
appears on your resume and
applications, it makes a strong
statement about your personal
standards of excellence. Look for
a multi-community developer that
has a network of apartment
communities in the city. Then,
choosing an apartment becomes
easier when you can choose the
location and the particular
amenities you prefer. Later, if you
want to live in a different section
of the city, relocating becomes as
easy as contacting your manager.
"Details, Details."

And, don't forget the angle that
is most often overlooked by
apartment hunters-watch for at-
tention to details. Preventive
maintenance, quick repair of
maintenance problems, openess
to suggestions, personal attend-
ance by the managerial staff and
much more is available.

Don't settle for anything. Shop
around. Don't simply look at the
exterior and the rental rates. Find
the community in your area that
offers you an improvement for
your lifestyle.

even Agnes Scott graduates. Dr.
Beth Mackie majored in Bible and
religion at ASC, received her M.A.
and Ph.D. in religion at Duke
University, and after teaching at
various other schools, has re-
turned to Agnes Scott as a
professor of Bible and religion.

Professor Mackie says that she
really can't compare the ASC
students she teaches now to her
former classmates because her
perspective as a professor is so
different from the perspective she
had as a student. She does feel

Her primary fields of interest are
theology and philosophy of reli-

in religion.

Her interest in the role of
women in religion extends further
to the role women have had in a
variety of fields. She has just been
named the director of the women's
studies course to be offered next

Bowling Speaks on Big Bang

by Cherie Arnette

On April 15. the Deans Lecture
series presented a lecture on the
subject of The Early Universe.
Lisa Duerr provided the music for
the prelude. Dean Hall introduced
the lecturer. Dr. Art Bowling, who
has been with ASC since 1977
and is currently the chair of the
Astronomy-Physics Department.

Dr. Bowling prefaced his lecture
on the Early Universe with a short
discussion of the physics needed
to understand the background of
the topic. He defined cosmology,

the study of the whole universe
and elemental partical physics,
the study of matter at its smallest
scale, and shared with the audi-
ence the excitement among scien-
tist of the new found correlation
of these two different areas. He
then proceeded to explain the
dimensions of space including
time and the theory of ten "com-
pacitified" dimensions. Outlining
particle physics and the funda-
mental forces of nature. Dr.
Bowling thus prepared the audi-
ence to discuss the Big Bang
Theory of the beginning of the
universe.

Dr. Bowling then proceeded

back in time beginning 5-6 million
years after the beginning of the
universe when the solar system
was formed. In his clear, concise
and very humorous style. Dr.
Bowling took his audience back
to the very early universe of 1043
seconds at which time gravitation
separated itself from the other
fundamental forces. He con-
cluded the lecture with some
theories of the future. The big
question for the future being
whether the universe is expand-
ing fast enough to expand forever
or will gravitation eventually cause
a 'big crunch" collapsing the
universe 8,000 billion years from
now.

Carter's Visit to ASC Continued

president reminded the audience
that under our form of government
each individual has a responsibil-
ity to make sure as best we
can that the government does
represent our individual principles
and ideals "and if not, I think you
as well as I have a responsibility
to do something about it. It has
always amazed me what young
people can do. The basic transfor-
mations in the consciousness of
our nation, at least in my lifetime,
have been done by college stu-
dentscivil rights, environmental
quality, withdrawal from Vietnam.
And my hope is you would do the
same thing with Apartied or what
ever concerns you."

Responding to a question from
the Media for his opinion of the
new Soviet peace initiate, Mr.
Carter said he hoped that the
information about a possible
accord on the removal of medium-
range missiles was in fact true,
and predicted that if it was true
Gorbachev would probably come
to the U. S. later this year. "My
hope is." he said, "that President
Reagan, seeing that his own
administration is coming to a
close in less than two years, will
want to have one. at least, major
achievement in the international
diplomacy field, and I would guess
this is the most likely prospect. "
Commenting on the lack of policy
in this area, he concluded by
saying "so far. as you know, what
we have done is to abandon SALT

II. we have failed or refused to join
with the Soviets in the moratorium
on the testing of nuclear weapons,
we've persisted in our efforts to
short-circuit or to interpret the
anti-ballistic missile treaty in an
unprecedented fashion, and
we've resisted any effort to pro-
hibit the deployment of destructive
weapons in space."

Professor Art Bowling asked
the former President to affirm or
deny reports that he was strongly
interested in negotiating a nuclear
test ban treaty but that because
of conversations with scientists at
Los Alamos Laboratory, he
changed his mind. Professor
Bowling also asked that he say
what the scientists had said which
caused him to change his posi-
tion. Mr. Carter indicated that it
was true he had not gotten a
favorable response from the
scientists at Los Alamos on the
possibility of a treaty, it was a
response "which I discounted [as]
biased opinion," the real reason
the negotiations broke down "was
the inability of me and Breshnew
and the Prime Minister of Great
Britian to reach an agreement. It
was a tripartied negotiation
and. ..the Soviets and I both
agreed that we would permit
placement of 10 sensing devices
on our own territory but the
Russians also insisted that the
British deposit ten of. ..the devices
on the tiny island of Great Britian.

The Other Side of Life

by Julie Hartline

It is late at night or early in the
morning. An occasional clicking
of typewriter keys or the flipping
of pages is heard in the halls of
Agnes Scott, but she is still up.
She is lost amidst a crowd and
has desensitized herself for the
evening. She is living a life almost
incomprehensible to the Agnes
Scott woman. She is a female
prostitute.

The portrait of a prostitute is
often seen on television or read
about m books, but the reality of
it does not hit until it is viewed with
one's own eyes. A recent presen-
tation allowed me the opportunity
to view the prostitute first hand,
and what was left of my fairy tale
world came crumbling down.

Dressed in tight leotards and a
fur coat, she sits at the bar of the
Dunk 'n Dine alone. She makes
idle conversation with the owner.
"We isn't spelled 'whe'." she says.
"It is 'we' no matter where you are
from, and you spelled biscuit
wrong."

It is cold outside, and she does
not want to leave. She did not
leave the restaurant until 4:00
a.m. the night before, it is only
1 :00 a.m. now. "I didn't get home
until 6:45 a.m. this morning. It
took me until almost six to make
a pick up. and I had to have at
least one or it wouldn't be worth
it." Her night depends on a pick-up.

When asked if her picture can
be taken, she refuses. "Every-
body knows me," but who is she 9
She is a woman of the night, and
this is reality.

Britain and the Parliment refused
to accept this. Then the Soviets
invaded Afghanistan in Christmas
week. 1979, and during 1980 we
never did resurrect the Com-
prehensive Test Ban talks. I would
have loved to have gone out of
office with a Comprehensive Test
Ban treaty."

The audience's spontaneous
cheers and clapping to Agnes
Scott Vice President Gerald
Whittington's question, "Mr. Presi-
dent the democratic national
convention is approaching. Plains
isn't that far from Atlanta. Some
say there will be a broker's
convention. Would you accept
draft by the Democratic National
Party," prevented Mr. Carter from
responding for several moments,
but he quickly remarked, having
to speak over the sound of
clapping hands, "That's an ex-
tremely unlikely circumstance that
I don't even need to comment on.
I don't have any desire to hold
public office again. But I do want
to see, obviously as a Democrat,
I do want to see a Democrat in
the White House in 1988. My own
personal preference would be
Senator Sam Nunn, but I doubt
now that he's going to accept my
advice and be a candidate I wish
he would."

In his closing remarks, the
former President told the student

he said, "you will quickly find that
you cannot take a stand openly
contrary to your employer. Now, if
you have radical beliefs or strong
beliefs, is the time for you to

against allowing studies to "be all

allowance of time for additional
responsibilities "because there is
so much to learn ... so many

that open up broad avenues of

and to establish your own

Book Sale Is a Success

The recent Used Book sale
sponsored by the newly reor-
ganized Returning Students Or-
ganization (RSO) raised more
money than any previous single
fundraising event the organization
has sponsored. However, accord-
ing to the Chairperson of the RSO
Fundraising Committee, Mitzi
Dillard, the entire Agnes Scott
community must jointly take the
credit for this success. The
response not only for the sale
itself, but for donations of books,
was well beyond what the commit-
tee had hoped for. Due to the
generosity of faculty, staff and
students, the variety of books
available ranged from textbooks,
secular and religious reference
books and literature to romance
and historical novels. Additionally,

the response of the RSO students
in donating their time to cover the
sale created a slightly social tone
to the event. The sale, originally
planned for one week, had to be
extended an additional week by
popular demand.

Mitzi also noted that an added
benefit of the two-week sale was
the interaction between the tradi-
tional-aged and older students,
many of whom had never met
each other before. All in all, the
entire RSO Fund-Raising Com-
mittee, Mitzi Dillard, Gina Brown,
Deborah Cooke, and Ross Beliard,
felt their efforts were well re-
warded and are seriously consid-
ering the suggestion presented to
them that the sale become an
annual spring event.

Studio Dance's Concert Receives Mixed Reviews

by Sarah Napier

On April 9-10, in Gaines Au-
ditorium. Agnes Scott's Studio
Dance Theatre performed their
annual spring concert. The per-
formance provided audiences
with a diverse mixture of dance
and choreographic styles, ranging
from the creativity of 'Water
Study" in which the dancers
perform to total silence to the
theatrical playfulness of pieces
such as 'Agnes Ain't MisbehavinV
The choreography was done by
Studio Dance members and their
director Marilyn Darling, as well
as guest choreographer Tom
Pazik of the Atlanta Ballet. The
piece "Water Study" was originally
choreographed by Dons Humphrey
and was reconstructed by Nancy
Byrd Woodruff.

The evening began with the
piece "Reflections," which was
choreographed by Gina Greely to
the music of Tears for Fears. The
dancers were Dawn Goforth.
Sharon Wallace, Kimberly Osias,
and Eun Joo Yang. This piece was
a solid beginning for the show.
The dancers performed with
energy and expression, particu-
larly Kimberly Osias, who showed
dynamic emotion in her face as
well as technical proficiency in
her dancing. The choreography
was interesting, especially many
of the creative lines the dancers
moved through in their steps. This
is Gina's first piece for Studio
Dance, and she shows potential
as a choreographer.

The next piece. Animation
From Granite," choreographed by
Beth Land to the music of Aaron
Copland, had a theatrical theme
The piece was danced by Heather
Goodall. Meda Stamper. Kimberly
Osias, and Eun Joo Yang. The
choreography was reminiscent of
the ballet in which the dolls of the
toymaker come to life on the
stage. When the lights came up
the audience saw two figures
covered in large sheets and Eun
Joo Yang, dressed as an artist.
Eun Joo hammered away at her
sculptures and then unveiled
them to dance for the audience.

Meda Stamper, the young inno-
cent heroine, and Heather, the
gallant hero, were revealed.
Kimberly Osias soon appeared,
dressed as the villan. All of the
characters interacted with one
another and eventually wound up
under their artist's covering. The
facial expressions and acting
ability of the dancers was good.
The story behind the piece was
obviously meant to be predicta-
ble, and although the idea was
creative, the piece came off as
trivial in certain sections.

Next on the program was 'Out
of Human Bondage" choreo-
graphed by Eun Joo Yang to the
music of Vollenweider. The danc-
ers were Andri Akins, Dawn
Goforth, Gina Greely, Beth Land,
and Sharon Wallace. The synthe-
sizer music of Vollenweider com-
plimented the choreography of
the piece well. The dance dealt
with conflicted relationships
among people and contained
some interesting arrangements of
steps. The piece provided a good
contrast with the light - hearted
mood of "Animation form Granite."
Dawn Goforth and Andri Akins,
both new to Studio Dance this
year, danced with energy and
talent.

The last piece before intermis-
sion, "Water Study" choreo-
graphed by Doris Humphrey, was
the most innovative and exciting
on the program. The cast was
large, featuring Dawn Goforth.
Heather Goodall, Gina Greely.
Georgma Hickey, Margaret Lackey.
Beth Land. Kimberly Osias, Meda
Stamper, Sharon Wallace, and
Eun Joo Yang. This piece is set
with no music, which leaves it to
the dancers' musical ability to
keep the tempo steady. The lights
went up to all ten dancers on the
floor on their stomachs. The initial
minutes of the piece contained
little movement, only the arching
of the dancers' backs at various
intervals. The entire piece con-
sisted of variations on similar
movements, and emphasized the
different sounds of the dancers
hands, feet, and legs as they
moved, A difficult piece such as
"Water Study" is a big undertaking
for any company, and Studio

John Maxwell's One-man
Play OK Mr. Faulkner,
Do You Write? Entertains
the ASC Community

by Hillary Soper
and Gretchen Bruner

The human being behind the
legend of William Faulkner came
alive in John Maxwell's one-man
play. "Oh. Mr. Faulkner. Do You
Write?" which was performed in
Agnes Scott's Winter Theatre on
April 20 at 8:15.

Maxwell wrote this entertaining
and enlightening piece with infor-
mation gathered largely from
William Faulkner's letters. Prior
knowledge of Faulkner's work was

not necessary to enjoy Maxwell's
outstanding performance.

Maxwell involved the audience
by addressing them as though
they were unwelcome reporters
seated in Faulkner's home. The
set was an authentic reproduction
of Faulkner's study in Oxford.
Mississippi; several of the props
had actually belonged to Faulkner.

By the end of the performance,
the audience had reached a new
appreciation of William Faulkner
as a man, as a southern sto-
ryteller, and as one of the greatest
writers of this century.

Studio Dance performs "Water Study," choreographed by Doris Humphrey in their spring concert.

Dance did an impressive job
executing the complex patterns in
total silence. Meda Stamper,
Sharon Wallace, and Georgma
Hickey looked especially strong.

After intermission came Tom
Pazik's "Dark Mirror" set to the
music of Kachaturian. The danc-
ers included 1986 Agnes Scott
graduate and former Studio
Dance member, Andrea Morris.
The choreography was very
dramatic, including many difficult
moves for the cast. The idea
behind the piece was abstract,
but it seemed to center around
the different dancers' conflicts
with Andrea. In the end of the
piece it seemed that Andrea had
been sacrificed by the other
dancers as she was carried off
stage while the music faded. This
piece was fairly long and it
dragged toward the end. but the
dancers were strong, particularly
Morris, who is dancing as well or
better than during her ASC years
with Studio Dance.

Following "Dark Mirror" was a
much lighter, more upbeat
number. "Silver Screen." with
choreography by Heather
Goodall. The dancers were Andri
Akins. Gina Greely, and Margaret
Lackey. The piece was set to the
progressive music of the Talking

Heads. Heather shows real prom-
ise as a choreographer. The
moves in the piece were creative,
and they fit the tone of the music
perfectly. The dancers moved on
and off the stage frequently,
making the dance exciting to
watch. Margaret Lackey danced
with flexibility and energy, as did
Andri and Gina.

The last five numbers of the
show were choreographed by
Marilyn Darling, with the excep-
tion of "Honeysuckle Rose" by
Meda Stamper and Eun Joo Yang.
All of these pieces were short and
tneatrical "show" dances which
utilized the dancers acting abili-
ties. In several of the pieces, the
dancers mouthed the words of
the songs to which the pieces
were set, producing a musical -
comedy tone. The best out of this
group was "Black 'n Blue" with
Meda Stamper and Anne Mane
Huff. The dancers' sensuous
moves really caught the "blues"
feeling of the music. Beth Land
and Meda Stamper were also
entertaining in "Agony of D'feet"
in which Beth wore giant blue
clown shoes. While these pieces
were entertaining, they seemed
to belong in a musical, rather than
in a repertory dance performance
It was a bit startling to see dancers
mouthing the words of sonqs on

stage. Perhaps they could have
limited the use of this type of
piece to one or two, rather than
five. It also would nave been nice
to see the whole company on
stage for the closing number.

Studio Dance has grown and
progressed since their last sea-
son. The performance was long,
testing the stamina of the older
dancers such as Meda Stamper.
Beth Land, and Eun Joo Yang.
The new members show promise
both as dancers and choreog-
raphers. The diversity of the
performance was also a strong
point, as was the choreography of
Doris Humphrey and Tom Pazik.
The lighting, done by ASC gradu-
ate Liz Lee, was also excellent.
Studio Dance could improve their
technical abilities and work to-
ward providing consistently crea-
tive and stimulating choreog-
raphy, but they show promise in
both these areas and work well
together as a group. The leader-
ship and talent of Studio Dance's
President Meda Stamper is sure
to be missed next year, as well as
that of Margaret Lackey and Eur
Joo Yang. Dance is an importan
area of student activities or
campus, and should be supportec
and celebrated by faculty, staff
administration and students.

Kruger Lectures in Art World Series

Artist Barbara Kruger will pre-
sent the final 1986-87 Art World
Speakers Series lecture at 2:30
pm on Sunday. May 10. in the
Rich Auditorium at the Woodruff
Arts Center.

Ms. Kruger is considered by
many to be among the most
important post-modern artists.
Like many of her contemporaries,
she uses information and influ-
ences from popular culture in her
art. drawing on movies, television,
advertising and politics, as well as
her former occupations as a
graphic designer and picture
editor for Conde Nast publications.

Using altered images from old
photographic annuals, maga-
zines and other sources, Ms.
Kruger overlays these pictures

with powerful satirical mottoes
derived from popular wisdom,
political sacred cows and advertis-
ing propaganda.

In describing the goals of her
work. Ms. Kruger stated: "Basi-
cally, I want to be .effective in
making changes in power rela-
tions, in social relations. And my
area of acuity is working with
images and words."

In 1976 influenced by the social
and cultural theories of Walter
Benjamin. Roland Barthes and
others, she began working with
the double-paneled picture/text
format. These works have been
shown in several important group
shows, including Documenta 7.
1982 Venice Biennale and 1983
Whitney Biennale. In 1986 her

work was shown in Atlanta at The
Public Art Show, organized by
Nexus Art Center. A solo exhibi-
tion will open this year in the Mary
Boone Gallery in New York.

Kruger has curated exhibitions
nationally and is film and televi-
sion critic for Artforum. She has
designed billboards of her work in
London. Jerusalem. San Fran-
cisco. Minneapolis and Chicago
as well as a piece for the Spec-
tacolor sign in Times Square.

Tickets are S6 and free for
Museum members. They can be
purchased or picked up at the
Woodruff Arts Center Box Office
or charged by calling 892-2414.
If available, tickets will be sold at
the door at 1 :30 pm on the day of
the lecture.

Fog came out of the closet for
public exposure on Thursday.
April 30, at 8:15 (natch) on the big
spongy stage in Gaines. They
tried to do "Nice Work.'" which
would be nice if they could get it
but don't bet on it.

Sure, their music is probably
lousy, but I like it. Besides, where
else can Dogmeat find a bunch of
beautiful bimbos making boobs
out of themselves without him
shelling out a bundle for admis-
sion? And they had Jay "Flying
Fingers" Fuller at the piano a
sex symbol in his own time. Oh.
wow'

Dogmeat previewed the show
the other night and it's been
ruining his "Moonlighting" reruns
ever since. Saw "Sister Woman"
Walls seduce a live mike as she
slinked down "Easy Street." Saw
the show-stopper "Forbidden
Fruit." Saw Jay Fuller play the
piano. Saw Spot run.

All the sophistication of a frat
beer bust with none of the risk.
Dogmeat Dave hopes you didn't
miss the special prize The Frogs

All that and free admission too.

N.C. Wyeth s Metropolitan
Life Murals Open at the High

An exhibition of the last murals
painted by the renowned Ameri-
can illustrator. N.C. Wyeth.
opened at the High Museum at
Georgia-Pacific Center on April
27th and runs through July 17th.
Entitled N.C. WYE T H. THE MET
LIFE MURALS, the exhibition will
consist of eight murals by the
patriarch of three generations of
American artists.

Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company commissioned Wyeth
to paint the murals for its em-
ployee lounge in 1940. and in
1984 the murals were removed
from the walls and restored to
their original beauty. In 1985 the
murals were placed on exhibit at
the Metropolitan Life Gallery. New
York City

Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-
1945). best known for his book
illustrations of such classics as
"Treasure Island" and Robin
Hood." was an artist of considera-
ble diversity and technical ability
The Met Life murals, almost

finished at the time nf^his fatal car
accident in 1945. illustrate his
mature skill and reflect many of
the major interests of his career.
The mural sequence was com-
pleted by Wyeth's son. Andrew,
and his pupil and son-in-law. John
McCoy.

This touring exhibition of
Wyeth's work is made possible by
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com-
pany and organized by the Gallery
Association of New York State.
Guest curator of this exhibition is
James Duff, executive director of
. the Brandywine River Museum.

The High Museum at Georgia-
Pacific Center is located down-
town at 133 Peachtree Street. The
Museum is open to the public
from 11 am until 5 pm Monday-
Friday and geared to the limited
schedules of downtown workers

On Sunday. April 14th. the
senior art majors and two senior
non-art majors opened the annual
senior show in the Dana Fine Arts
Building. The opening reception,
organized by Lilly Cannon, took
place between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.

Exhibiting works from their last
four years at Agnes Scott were
Claire Armistead. Courtney
Barnes, Lilly Cannon. Barbara
Jarabek. Suzanne Kleese. Lisa
Oliff. Jill Reeves. Cynthia Terry,
t and Karen Hoover. This show is
I very diverse, indicating that each
S student has begun to develop her
i own. personal aesthetic style.
Most of these seniors are cur-
| rently taking a senior art seminar
a. called Issues in Art. In this

program, department chair Terry
McGehee is working with the
students in their development of
portfolios and the presentation of
their art works so that they may
go on to graduate school or to
work in art-related fields. The
class also takes frequent trips to
local galleries.

The work in the senior show is
primarily two-dimensional. Barbara
Jarabek is showing a number of
beautiful watercolors and acrylic
paintings of landscapes and still-
lifes. Jill Reeves, a double major
in English and art. exhibits mostly
realistic drawings. Showing very
innovative sculpture/paintings is
Suzie Kleese. Suzie is also has
some newer works which utilize
handmade paper and dyes.
Cynthia Terry's paintings are
acrylic ones which show strange

abstract geometric still-lifes and
landscapes. Lilly Cannons work
consists of colorful patterned
mixed-media works and a large
unstretched canvas on which she
utilizes similar patterns. The
works by Claire Armistead are
more diverse. They include large
acrylic paintings in which she
uses interesting surface textures
and smaller, realistic oil works.

The three-dimensional work
includes expressive little plaques
and a figurative sculpture by
Courtney Barnes. Two seniors
have contributed ceramic pottery
works in the show. They are Lisa
Oliff and Karen Hoover. These are
creatively made pieces with color-
ful glazes.

The show will remain in the
gallery for the remainder of the
semester.

Walker Offers Students a Chance

College students seeking
careers in Hollywood inevitably
ask: "How do I get my foot in the
door'?"

Comedian/actor Jimmie
Walker, who sprang to national
prominence when he portrayed
the wisecracking "J.J." on the
"Good Times" series, wants to
give a break to college writers
who think they know how to write
jokes for stand-up comedy.

Walker, who will soon be seen
in the feature film release "My

African Adventure." and will also
star in his own TV series "Bustin'
Loose" this fall, began his career
writing jokes for other comics.
Now. he is soliciting material from
student jokewriters.

If Walker uses the material, he
will pay the writers. A less tangi-
ble, but probably more conse-
quential, reward will be that the
writers will have established
comedy-writing credits with a
comedy/TV/film personality

which can only be of benefit to the
students in their efforts to get
started in Hollywood.

Any student wishing to submit
material to Walker should send it
to his Hollywood office which is
located at 9000 Sunset Blvd..
Suite 400, Los Angeles, Ca.
90069. Student should also make
sure to enclose their name,
address and phone number, so
that Walker can locate them in the
event that he is interested in their
material.

The Blackfriars Present The 13 Bells
of Boglewood, a Fine Children's Play

by Jill Barkholz

On a small stage in Dana's
WinterTheatre. the Blackfriars put
on the 13 Bells of Boglewood. a
children's play written by Max
Bush. The production was put on
entirely by the students (with the
exception of the scene design by
Dudley Sanders), with Rachel
Hubbard directing and Laurel
McDonald as the assistant direc-
tor/stage manager. The play is a
story of gold hunters Brian and
Spriggins who protect the gold,
and the Greedy Bogle, a monster-
like human, held captive by the
fairies.

Legend has it there is gold in
the woods where Brian and Smith
are traveling. There is gold, but
the fairies need it to breath: it is
their life force. The story unfolds
as Brian decides to help the fairies
protect their gold from Smith and
the released Greedy Bogle. The
bells begin to toll: Smith does not
make it out of the woods by the
thirteenth toll, and he becomes
the new Greedy Bogle, and the
old Bogle is back to being a
human being.

The actresses and actors do a
very good job with this play.
Jennifer Peluso (Thistle) is full of
energy as the light-hearted fairy.
Barbara Breuer (Brian) keeps her
voice deep, convincing children

that she is a boy. Amy Hegwood
and Marsha Michie (The Spriggins)
run around wiidly and say their
parts exactly together. Amanda
DeWees (Lara) does a fine per-
formance. Al Stilo (the Bogle) and
Elbert Morris (Smith), brouqht in

and Marsha Michie

from the outside, of course, give
very strong performances.

All in all, the story of the 13
Bells of Boglewood has a lesson
to be learned not to be greedy
Children of all ages can enjoy this
play.

forward into the 1980s with
this technically innovative produc-
tion. The production features
high-tech sets, state-of-the-art
lighting and elaborate, contempo-

concentrated their story on
Christ's reputation as a humanitar-
ian thinker, the charismatic leader
of a dissident movement and a
victim who might suggest martyrs
similar to John F. Kennedy or
Martin Luther King. Jesus Christ
Superstar is a story of a man born
to lead and destined to die for the
sake of those he loves. The
antagonist is Judas, one of his
chosen twelve, who sees the
goals of the movement jeopar-
dized by a growing worship of one
man. He sings.

"You've started to believe the
things they say of you

You really do believe this talk of
God is true

And all the good you've done
will soon be swept away

You've begun to matter more
than the things you say..."

Judas is aware that when Christ
is killed the immortality of the man
will be disproved and that the
movement will suffer a setback
but the cause will survive. It is
Judas's love for the people and
for Jesus the man which brings
an underlying pain to the passion

Yasuo Kuniyoshi's art is a
unique blend of the oriental and
the occidental. Born in Japan in
1889. he came to America when
he was seventeen, but did not
begin formal study of art until
1907. From 1916 until 1920, he
studied at the Art Students
League in New York where he
found his most influential teacher
in Kenneth Hayes Miller.
Kuniyoshi became one of the
leading artists of his day and had
his first one-man show at the
Whitney in 1948.

According to Susan Lubowski,

The Academy Theatre proudly
presents the latest in its 1986-87
First Stage New Play Series:
Cyparis, written and directed by
Academy playwnght-in-residence
Barbara Lebow and featuring
resident company actor Kenny
Leon in the title role. Set against
the vibrant colors of the Carib-
bean island of Martinique.
Cyparis is the compelling drama
of the sole survivor of the 1902
Mt. Pelee volcanic eruption an
inmate in the dungeon of the
prison in St. Pierre. Paced by the
pulsating rhythm of the biguine.
Cyparis explores the unique Afro-
French culture of Martinique
through the richly textured, inter-
woven thoughts, memories and
hallucinations of the imprisoned
survivor. Cyparis runs through
May 9. Wednesdays through
Saturdays at 8 p.m. with a 3 p.m.
Sunday matinee on May 3.

Award-winning actor Kenny
Leon creates the central role of
the tormented Cyparis. Others in
the cast are Carol R. Mitchell,
Chris Kayser, Tony Vaughn, Cindy
Martin and 7-year-old Derek
Matthews. The environment of
Martinique is recreated through
authentic folk music, sound de-
sign by Michael Keck, choreog-
raphy by Terri Kayser, costumes

Director of the Whitney Museum
at Philip Morris, the strength and
originality of his work lies in his
successful fusion of three discrete
traditions: early American folk art.
European modernism, and tradi-
tional Japanese painting.

The High Museum at Georgia-
Pacific Center is located down-
town at 133 Peachtree Street. The
Museum is open to the public
from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.. Monday

a.m. through 11 a.m. is reserved
for tours, groups, or special
arrangements. Admission is free.

Cyparis is an intense tale
survival loosely based on
actual event. Ms. Lebow fir
learned of this event in 1985 wh
visiting a one-room museum
St. Pierre dedicated to the eru
tion of Mt. Pelee. Before th
eruption, she discovered. E
Pierre was an exciting port city i
30.000. known as "The Paris i
the West Indies." But. says Lebo\
"On May 8. at seven-fifty in th
morning, a 'glowing red ball. Iik
the sun. grew out of the side c
Pelee.' The mountain explodec
destroying St. Pierre and ar
nihilating its 30,000 inhabitant
within four minutes. The lone
survivor was Auguste Cyparis
locked in a thick-walled dungeor
in the city prison. He spent three
nights trapped under debris, no 1 ,
knowing what had happened
before he was rescued.

Tickets for Cyparis may be
purchased at the Academy
Theatre box office at Fourteenth
and Juniper Streets. Box office
hours are Tuesday through Satur-
day: 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. To
order by phone, call 892-0880.

Athletic Association
Plans Picnic

by Eloise Lindsay

For those who are unfamilar
with the Athletic Association, it is
an organization that is to be
utilized by the students to encour-
age participation in physical
activities such as soccer, basket-
ball, softball. volleyball and other
games. This campus needs the
Athletic Association for several
reasons: 1) to burn off brownie
calories. 2) to raise student moral,
3) to promote good health, and 4)
to have fun.

The Athletic Association will be
especially important next fall with
the absence of a gym. Athletic
Association is preparing for this
by planning several off campus
excursions such as hiking at
Stone Mountain and in North
Georgia. Don't forget that we have
a wonderful new track to use.
especially after all the trouble that
went into making it. Ask Public
Safety if you have any questions
about the security process.

However, before next fall ar-
rives, the Athletic Association is

Sports Through the Years

by Chuck Roucinvale

Dr. McKemie (known to most as
Ms. McKemie) and Dr. Manuel
(also known as Ms. Manuel) are
the*focus of this article. Miss
McKemie has been here for
'roughly" 31 years, whereas. Ms.
Manuel has only been here for 28
years.

In questioning Ms. Manuel on
her thoughts on how athletic

participation has changed over
the years, it was discovered that
once upon a time in this small
prestigious women's college in the
south, there was athletic participa-
tion (by students no less). Each
class had a field hockey, vol-
leyball, basketball, and softball
team. Every Friday afternoon,
these teams would play each
other.

Many of you may be wondering
how they were able to get stu-
dents to stay on campus. Well.

during that time there were
classes on Saturday, so roadtnps
were not an option. Also,
freshmen and sophomores were
not allowed to have cars on
campus. Ms. Manuel says that
although we now have club
sports, there is still a need for
resurrecting intramurals. There is
an overall need for more athletic
participation on the whole. Miss
McKemie supports this idea
every time you hear her yell
"VOLLEEEYBALLL!"
